THE DISMISSED REPEAL MAGIS- TR ATE S. The following correspondence has taken place between the Irish Chancellor's Secretary, Mr. F. W. Brady, and Mr. Joseph Miles M`Donnell, one of the Members for Mayo, who was deprived of the Commission of the Peace in consequence of some violent political sentiments which he delivered at a repeal meeting held in Sligo : " Secretary's Office, Four Courts, Dublin, August 25, 1846. " Sir,—l am directed by the Lord Chancellor to ac quaint you that the attention of the Lord Lieutenant having been given to the circumstance of the removal of magistrates at various times from the Commission of the Peace, on account of their conduct in relation to political meetings and demonstrations, his Excellency has been pleased to convey to him the opinion that those cases might be severally reconsidered with a view of deciding upon the propriety of restoring to the Commission such of those gentlemen as he might think properly qualified for the office ; and the Lord Chancellor has felt it to be his duty to act upon this opinion. " In referring to lists of Magistrates who have been so removed, it appears that pursuant to an order bearing date 2ad of June, 1843, your name was removed from the commission of the peace for the counties of Mayo and Sligo. " Mr. Sugden's letters to you of the 24th and 30th May, and sth June, 1843, with yours of the 26th May and 2nd June, in that year, exhibit the grounds of this order. On the best consideration he has given to the sub ject, and to the circumstances under which your remove took place, the Lord Chancellor is of opinion that the letters contain nothing which onght now to preclude your being restored to the commission of the peace. " Ile desires me to say that if it should be your wish to resume the office of a Magistrate, he is prepared to give the necessary directions for your being replaced. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your very humble and obedient servant, " FRANCIS WILLIAM BRADY, Sec. " To Joseph Miles M•Donnell, Esq. M P." " Reform Club, London, Aug. 31. " Sir,—Your letter of the 25th inst., with whiCh I am favoured, having been directed to Doo Castle during my attendance here on my Parliamentary duties, will ex plain why it has not been earlier acknowledged. It con veys to me the gratifying intelligence that the Lord Chancellor, on the late consideration he has given the subject of my removal from the Commission of the Peace in June, 1843, and to the circumstances under which that removal took place, is of opinion that the letters which passed between Mr. Sugden and me on that occa sion contain nothing which ought now to preclude my being restored to the Commission. You will pardon my adding they contain nothing which then justified my removal, or else I presume I should not be now re stored. What a practical commentary on the adminis tration of Irish affairs the dismissal and the necessity for the restoration of the Repeal Magistrates of the kingdom presents ! With such facts staring the world in the face can it be a matter of wonder that Ireland ,should have been a ' difficulty' to those who have under taken to do the business of the aristocracy of Eng land. This one act of the late Government, and I wish to speak with all leniency of the dead, annihilated the confidence of that immense class, the peasantry of Ireland, as well as all other classes, in the administra tion of the law. I apprise you of a literal fact when I tell you that the people in my province wept with grief and alarm when those in whom they confided at all times were removed from the bench, and they crowded round their venerated clergy declaring that they had no longer any hope of safety. There was a truth in this declara tion not credible in other parts of the world. Was it not natural that the people should have trembled at being left exposed to the violence of local factions, when the very Executive itself had ventured openly to sweep the bench of the very magistrates themselves, merely for the legal, constitutional, and rightful expression of political opinion ? The Lord Chancel lor, by restoring to the Commission the magistrates then xemoved, and doing so, as you are pleased to apprise me, in compliance with the expressed opinion of the Lord Lieutenant, obviously does much towards restoring public confidence, likewise by giving an assurance that henceforth the laws in Ireland will be administered by the friends of Ireland I beg you will therefore convey to the Lord Chancellor the expression of my gratitude, not only on personal, but on public grounds. It is indeed to me peculiarly gratifying to receive the Commission :from the Lord Chancellor's hands. I had, in consequence of my removal on account of my adherence to the na tional principles, pledged myself not to accept the Com mission, except from an Irish Chancellor. The election of the eminent judge who now holds the seals has re moved the difficulty in which I might be placed. Sin cerely wishing that his Lordship may long administer the high office which his learning, impartiality, and char'.cter are certain to dignify ; and also that I may yet hare the pride and pleasure of seeing his Lordship presiding on the Woolsack in the Irish House of Lords. " I have the honour to be, Sir, "Your most obedient servant, "J. M. M'DONNELL. " F. W. Brady, Esq., &c. &c. &c." ROYAL COLLEGE of CHEMISTRY. Yesterday afternoon the annual general meeting of the members of the above college was held in the rooms of the institution, Hanover-square. In the absence of the Earl of Clarendon, the chair was occupied by Ben jamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., and supported by the Earl of Antrim, Sir James Clarke, M.D., Colonel Wylde, Equerry to his Royal Highness Prince Albert ; Dr.Har nett, Professor Hoffer, Dr Daniell, Dr. Aston Key, Dr. Bevan, Mr. Tite, &c. After seme'introductory remarks from the chairman, the report (the first presented to the members) was read ; i:s details, as might be ex pected, bore reference more particularly to the positive transactions of the institution than to matters of public interest connected with the chemical art. Since the establishment in 1844 the total receipts, including those for the purposes of the new building, amounted to 5,556/. 195., and the disbursements to 4,5171. ss. 9d., thus leaving a balance of 1,033/. 3s. 3d. The sub scriptions, &c., amounted to 1,5711., and the donations to 2,6931. 3s. ; of the latter the sum of 100/. was re ceived from his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and a like amount was also forwarded by his Royal Highness :as the representative of the Duchy of Cornwall. The donations to the building fund now amount to 1,7631., taut .more than 2,0001. will be required for carrying out' the otjeets in view. It appears that with regard to the laboratory, the total cost of the building will exceed the original estimate, and will amount to 5,000/. Mr. .Blakemore, M.P. for Wells, offered to supply 500/, on fifteen other gentlemen subscribing 100/. each, and by this means the sum of 2,0001. was. raised, under the de nomination of the Blakemore Fund, being, it appears, distinct from the general building fund. In the first year the number of students was twenty-six, and in the cite just finished thirty-seven, fifteen having remained from the previous year. According to the statements of Professor Hoffer, the students had in each session exhi bits d a considerable degree of proficiency. The fees paid by them amounted to 5271. 17s. The laboratory expenses amounted to 921/. 13s. This department will be fully opened in October next. We may add, that the new build i og at the rear of the house in Hanover square is fast approaching to completion. It extends into Oxford street. The foundation-stone, our readers may recollect, vas laid a short time since by his Royal Highness 1 'eince Albert. The report added, that through tho la mmentai3ty of his Royal Highness Prince Albert ne gotiations had been concluded with the Prussian Go vef.nment, by which, in the event of tt-e college not saerceeding, M. Hoffman will be permitted to continue bin professorship at Bonn. The report having been aceeed to, the meeting proceeded to the election of pre• sident, vice-presidents, and council. His Royal High ness Prince Albert was re-elected to the former post, which is not merely an honorary one, as the prince has an excellent knowledge of chemistry, and several times du ring the last session satisfied himself as to the pro fit iency of the students by interrogatories in the various de partments of the art. The vice-presidents and counc:l nprise upwards of fifty members of the nobility and •,ge otry, &c., one of them being Lord John Russell. Ater votes of thanks to his Royal Highness Prince All)ert, the chairman, &c., the meeting was dissolved. ''HE GREAT MEETING OF THE MONTH. As the great meeting of the passing month was a Zr ighty convention of teetotalers, it may appropriately hi called the " Meeting of the Waters." The repre ae ntatives of the pumps, well=, ponds, cisterns, gutters, at ,d rivers of the world were all present. Yankee tee to tallers—cold damp people—arrived, it is said, packed in Wenham Lake ice, to represent the Niagara ; wi the the Fleet-ditch rolled its tribute of temperance )ple to the Convention. All sorts of waters, indeed, bat! their delegates, except strong waters ; and the ap peat ance of the august conclave reminded one of an t ')lyLipus of river gods turned out of their beds.

ROLLS' COURT, Aug. 31. GUINNESS V. FRIEND. Mr. KENTON PARKER, Q.C., applied for an injunction to restrain the defendant, a bottled porter dealer, at Dover, from selling as Guinness's stout malt liquor not brewed by Messrs. Guinness and Co., and from selling it in bottles with forged labels thereon. It appeared in evidence that the plaintiffs, who are the well-known brewers of Dublin, have for many years past, with the view of securing the public from imposition, been in the habit of shipping their stout to Mr. Moline, of London-bridge (their sole consignee for London and the eastern division of England), or to his order, and that Mr. Moline appoints agents, who sell the stout in bottles with certain labels thereon, which are printed exclusively by his order, and are by him supplied solely to the agents, who are bound not to sell any bottled stout without such labels. It was proved that the de fendant had been detected in selling considerable quan tities of malt liquor, of a very inferior quality, as Guinness's stout, in bottles with forged labels, being an exact imitation of Messrs. Guinness's labels, and con taining a fac-simile of the signature of the firm. The MASTER of the ROLLS compared the defendant's labels with the plaintiffs' labels, and said that they closely resembled each other, and that the plaintiffs were en titled to the order.—lnjunction granted. The solicitors for the plaintiffs were Messrs. Amory, Sewell, and Moores. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, September 1. (Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.) IN RE 'MAYHEW. This bankrupt, who is well known in the literary world, came up to pass his last examination, and was supported by Mr. Sturgeon, and opposed by Mr. Cooke. From the evidence given by the bankrupt, it appeared that he had been connected with the Era newspaper, but had assigned his interest, and had not made any entry in his balance-sheet, as it was of no value. He had disclosed everything to his creditors—his property, which had cost about 1,6001., had been seized in execution and sold at a loss of 1,1851. Ife considered himself justified in his expenses, as up to the beginning of the year he ought to have received 1,5001. a-year for his literary la bours. He originated Punch, and was suc ceeded by an editor, Mr. Mark Lemon, under an arrangement to receive one-half, but Mr. Lemon had refused to ratify the agreement. Out of 2,900/. he had only received 1,2151., and owed 2,4111. His embarrass ment arose in consequence of losing two arrange ments, amounting to 1,0001. and 3001. a-year. But he had offered to pay 51. a-week out of his profits, and make it up the full half of his earnings if he made more, but the propo sition was rejected. The CommissioNEß considered an adjournment must take place, for the balance-sheet to be amended, and the costs should depend on the opinion of the official assignee. _ . The examination was then adjourned for six weeks. The bankrupt estimated the profits of Punch at 10,0001. a year ; he also claimed 1,0001. from the Iron Times' estate fur one year's salary he was entitled to in lieu of notice. THE LATE FORGERY AT COUTTS' RE-EXAMINATION OF CAPT. RICHARDSON. MANSION-HOUSE. Considerable excitement was created yesterday in the neighbourhood of this Court, as it was known that Captain William Richardson, chairman of the Tenbury, Worcester, and Ludlow Railway Company, was to be brought up a second time before the Lord Mayor, on a charge of having altered a cheque on Coutts' banking house, from the sum of 10/. to 5,600/. The cheque for 101., it will be remembered by our readers, had been signed, in the first instance, by the chairman and, again, by Thomas Stevenson, and William Letch mere Whitmore, two of the directors, who afterwards returned the cheque to the prisoner. On its being pre sented at the banking-house, the amount appeared as 5,000/., which was honoured, and five 1,0001. notes were paid to the person who presented the cheque. It after wards appeared in evidence, that these notes were taken to the Bank of England on the same day by the pri soner, who received gold in exchange, he giving his ad dress " Linen Hall, Dublin." and Furnival's Inn Hotel" in town. Subsequent inquiries led to the prisoner's being taken into custody. At twelve o'clock this day the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor took his seat. Aldermen Wood and Musgrove sat beside his Lordship. After the morning cases had been disposed of, Captain William Richardson was placed at the bar at two o'clock. Mr. Bushe, of the firm of Bushe and Mullins, appeared to prosecute ; Mr. Woolf, from Mr. Flower's office, ap peared for the prisoner. Mr. Bushe said that, on the 7th of July, a Board of the Tenbury, Worcester, and Ludlow Railway Com pany was held, when a cheque was drawn for 10/., signed by Captain Richardson, and containing on the counterfoil the name of the person to whom it was intended to be paid. That person was now present. On the 20th of the same month the same cheque, signed by the prisoner and by two of the directors was presented at Messrs. Coutts' bank, purporting to be drawn for 5,0004 which was paid by one of the clerks in five 1,0001. notes. The next part of his case would be to bring home the fact, that on the same day the prisoner himself, under a false name and address, changed three of these notes at the Bank of England. The rest of the case was rather complicated, but it all tended to the same thing, that the amount received from the cheque had come into the pos session of the prisoner. Robert Hare, called and examined.—He was clerk and cashier at Coutts' bank. On the 20th of July he paid the cheque produced, in five notes of 1,000/. each. The numbers were dated the 13th of February, and were 96,087, 96,091-2-3-4, consecutive numbers. He could not identify the person to whom he paid the cheque. He paid these notes to the account of William Richardson, William Letchmere Whitmore, Thomas Stevenson, and another person. 'Three of those persons were authorised to draw, Mr. Richardson being always one of the party. The principal partner of Coutts' house was Edward Majoribanks, Esq. The instructions to the banker's clerk on entering cash to the account of the railway company was then proved by the witness. It was precisely the same as already stated by him. He (witness) did not know the prisoner personally at the time the account was opened. Cross-examined by Mr. Woolf—ri he account was opened with Messrs. Coutts by the gentleman mentioned in April. Ile had no doubt that the genuine signatures were affixed to the cheque. It was regarded as a pri vate account, Messrs. Coutts declining to do anything with railway companies. There still remained a balance of 5001. or 6001. in the hands of the bankers. Mr. W. Pulsford examined—Was secretary to the Worcester, Tenbury, and Ludlow Railway Company. Had been secretary since its first formation. The offices of the company were at No. 5, New Palace-yard, Westminster. He found in the minute-book of the board of directors a meeting of the 7th July. That minute was Verified by the signa ture of the chairman and directors in the usual way. Captain Richardson was present at that meeting, and signed the minute. Mr. Bushe read from the book—" And also that a cheque for lot. be given to Mr. Howell's messenger for his services," with the initial letters W. R. attached. Witness's examination continued--He found an entry in the cheque-book in Captain Richard son's writing "No. 11, Messenger from Mr. Howell, his services, July 10." He heard of a letter from this party, and a conversation fol lowed, in which gentlemen round the table ob served that they would give a sovereign a piece rather than this sum should come out of the funds of the company. He afterwards received from Captain Richardson a cheque for 101., which agreed in every respect with the counterfoil. It was then only signed by Captain Richardson himself. Looking at the cheque produced, he could see that the dif ference consisted in the cheque being now for 5,000/., instead of 10/., and in the addition of two more signatures. Having been instructed by Captain Richardson to get these signatures, he en closed the cheque to Mr. Whitmore. (The letter-book was produced to show that a note from witness, enclosing the cheque, was posted on the day fellow ing, Bth July). He found also on the cheque that the date had from the 7th been changed to the 17th July. He was positive that the " one'' had not been placed before the " seven" when the cheque was first drawn. (The witness then read the letters addressed to the directors, requesting their signatures to three cheques, one being the one in question. The cheques carne back for the respective sums of 1001., 20/.. and 101., es they had gone. Another signature was attached to the cheque afterwards—that of Mr. Stevenson, which wit n ess subseqeently obtained. The signatures, to the best of witness's belief, were not in the order in which they appeared in the cheque produced. After receiving the particular cheque for 10!. from Mr. Whitmore, witness gave, on 16th, the same cheque to Mr. Richardson. Had nut seen tile cheque since. The cheque was not altered in any way. The prisoner never stated to him to whom he had delivered the cheque. There was some talk about as to whom it was to be paid. Witness was at Mr. Bushe's office on Wednesday last, when Captain Richardson said he had delivered it to a person ith thin roustasehtos, rather sallow complexion, and thin stature. Witness thought the prisoner then suit: d that he had never seen the person before. Was n>t positive about that. Thought the prisoner said that the man called upon him at his private house, and he thought he said he delivered the cheque to him there. Never had had any conversation with the pri soner about it before any person. Cross-examined—The prisoner, witness believed, said that the person to whom he gave the cheque was Howell's messenger. Mr. Bushe here stated that Mr. Whitmore and Mr. Stephenson had not arrived from the country. Mr. Fry, the solicitor to the company, was then called, who stated that Mr. Whitmore and Mr. Stephenson were travelling, and he had done all in his power to find them, but had not accomplished that object. lie believed that if time was given Mr. Whitmore would attend, and that no warrant was necessary to compel the attendance of either gentlemen. Cross-examined—Mr. Whitmore was in Calais, but he did not know where Stephenson was. Mr. Pulsford recalled and examined by the solicitor for the prisoner.—As a cautious man, he should say he had never seen the identical cheque for 5,0001. before. Mr. Baine, one of the solicitors of the company, was present at Mr. Bushe's office on Wednesday last, when the prisoner made a statement concerning a cheque for 5,030/., paid by Coutts and Co. The prisoner said he had seen the cheque, and referred to a previous interview he had had with Coutts and Company with respect to the cheque. _ _ The solicitor for the prisoner objected to the exami nation, which was not pressed by Mr. Bushe. Mr. Coulthurst, a partner in the house of Coutts and Co.—Recollected Capt. Richardson, in company with Mr. Fry, and Mr. Baine coming to the hank. A clerk of the company applied to witness, in the presence of the pri soner, to take away the paid vouchers, which witness re fused as irregular, as the account had not received the sanction of all parties. Witness said to the prisoner this is a frightful fraud; to which he answered, it was. He then said he had drawn the cheque (the 5,0001.) for 10/., and that it had been altered to 5,000/.; that his signature was genuine, and that he believed the other two were also. He said that the number of the cheque was in his handwriting, and that all was except the figure one and the 5,0001. He said that he had given the cheque to some person in the em ploy of an individual on the Stock Exchange. Cross-examined—Was not aware whether the pri soner knew it was against the rule of Coutts and Co. to give up paid cheques. Joseph Long-den, a clerk in the house of Coutts and Co.. recollected the prisoner and others coming to the bank on Tuesday the 25th of August. The prisoner asked for the vouchers of the paid cheques, which were produced by Mr. Inglebach, a clerk in the house of Coutts and Co., but they were refused to be given up. Mr. Jernineham, a clerk in the issue department of the Bank of England, changed three 1,000/. notes on the 20th of July last. The person who presented them was the prisoner, and he gave the name of Jones, and addressed them Dublin. The prisoner was in his presence half an hour, and he had not the slightest doubt of his identity. Witness parti cularly recollected the transaction, as he had a suspicion that they would hear further abeutit, and in consequence made a particular memorandum in the book. Upon being pressed for a more particular address, he said Linen Hall, Dublin, and Furnival's Inn Hotel, London. He appeared much agitated, and upon being asked to put his name to the note, he appeared nervous, and asked others present to do it. Mr. Thomas Ager corroborated the evidence of the last witness. He was also a clerk in the issue depart. tnent of the Bank of England. Witness supplied the gold for the notes to the prisoner, who asked a porter to carry it for him to a cab outside the Bank. The prisoner then left the Bank, and wit ness followed him. Stated that he was sorry, but he must have the money back to reweigh it. The prisoner said it was all right, but ulti mately came back, the money was reweighed, and the prisoner went away with it. Had no doubt of the iden tity of the prisoner. Mr. Iligman, chief clerk of the issue department, gave the same evidence he did on Saturday. He had no doubt the prisoner was the party who came to the Bank with the notes, and obtained the gold. Mr. Payne, an inspector of notes in the Bank of England, stated that the prisoner, on the 20th of July, applied to him for gold for the notes, stating that the commission for transmitting money to Dublin was so heavy, that he thought it better to take it over himself. Witness had no doubt of the prisoner's identity. Early, a porter of the Bank of England, recollected the prisoner coming to the Bank in July. He was going away in a cab, when he was called back, and afterwards Ile left in the cab, which was at the gate of the Bank for twenty minutes. Leonard Dean, hall-porter of the Bank of England— Carried the gold to the cab, and he believed for the prisoner at the bar. Mr. Bushe said he had completed the first branch of his evidence, and he would now call evidence to show what occurred at the apprehension of the prisoner. James Dyne, 8,268, eab-driver of 262 patent safety cab—Was hired at the stand, Gray's Inn, to drive to the Bank. The prisoner looked like the gentleman who hired him. After reaching the Bank, he stopped about three. quarters of an hour, and received four or five bags of money, when the gentleman ordered him to drive to Furnival's Inn. Just as he was about to drive off, the porter came out, and after saying something to the prisoner, the money and he went inside, and he (witness) waited ten minutes longer, when the gentleman and bags came out, and he drove to Furnival's Inn. He was going inside when the gentleman said, drive on, and he (cabman) went up Gray's Inn-lane, up John-street, towards Russell-square, when the gentleman told him to go on to Montague p'ace, what number he did not know, but he (cabman) took out the bags, and laid them down in the passage of the house they stopped at. The house was half way up on the left-hand side. Cross-examined by Mr. Woolf—lie thought there was a gentleman in Court more like " the fare" than the prisoner. The witness being asked to point out one person more like, pointed, amidst considerable laughter, to the secretary for the railway company, of which prisoner was the chairman. Mr. Howell, who had been extensively employed by railway companies, never did apply, by himself or messenger, for 101., and never received such. Mr. James Davies, a director of the company—Wit ness was present at a special meeting of the board on the 21st day of May, 1846, when the then supposed fraud was discovered. The chairman took the chair at a meeting held on the present day week (Aug. 25). The secretary read the minutes of last meeting, and the circular convening the one then hold. The secretary produced the banker's book. One of the directors, showing the book to Mr. Richardson, asked him, "Do you know anything of this?" Ile said, " I do' not. I think the first thing to be done is to see our bankers." Witness then said, " I think we had better wait till Mr. Fry arrives." A conversation ensued, but witness could not remember the particulars. Certain resolutions were come to at the board. Mr. Pulsford (secretary), then produced the minute, which did not appear of vital importance to the case. George Russell, 34 City Police, apprehended the pri soner on Saturday last in St. Mildred's-court (the offices of Messrs. Bushe and Mullins). He was searched, and six keys were found on him, five of which were now produced. He said, " Supposing that all the Bank clerks say is true, it is my own money ; I have the power, as chairman, to sign cheques." This was said in the justice-room. Cross-examined—He was at the house of the prisoner after he had been examined before Mr. Alderman Mus grove. No violence was offered, as, with the exception of one cupboard, every place was opened with keys. Daniel Douglas, No. 13 City Police, went to No. 6, Charlotte street, Russell-square, accompanied by one or two more. On proceeding to the house his authority was demanded by the persons there. He showed them it, and in one of the drawers he found a quantity of papers and a bag containing one hundred, and one fifty, besides some Bank of England notes. These were sent off in the cab. Witness remained in the house, and when Mr. Mullins came a further search was made, and a cupboard, of which no key could be found, was broken open. John W. Murphy, clerk to Bushe and Mullins, went with the last officer and assisted in the search. Found two pocket-books in the long drawer of prisoner's study. Found a bag of gold in the same drawer. Found a bag of gold in one-of the drawers of the same desk. Found four 101. notes and two 51. notes in the same place. SAw both pocket-books inspected. Found another locked book in the same drawer. Witness having received these, returned to the office of Bushe and Mul lins in a cab, accompanied by the prisoner's butler. Richard Mullins, of Bushe and Mullins, proceeded to make a second search on the same evening. On forcing open the cupboard, he found the present cash-box, which was not made till the other evening. On last evening examined the cash-box, and found two packages, each containing fifty sovereigns. Mr. Bushe sworn, said that on examining the two poc kets ho found in a small pocket-book four note, of 50L, now produced ; he also examined the other book and found one 10/., and three 51. notes. After opening the diary, he found between the leaves two 501. notes, and behind the cover, which was loose, he discovered money to a great amount. He found five Bank notes of 1001., six of 50/., four of 100/. ; in another parcel five of 1001., six of 50/. ; in another parcel six bank post bills of 100/. each, payable to John Powell, which made the whole value of property found in prisoner's house, 3,225 i. He (Mr. Mullins) would prove further that three SOO/. notes had been obtained at the Bank, in exchange for gold, and the same amount in another bank. Horatio Nelson, stepson of the prisoner, and living at No. 6, Charlotte-street—He (witness) did not know any person in Montague-place, and was not there within the last twenty-four hours. After some conversation, the witness admitted that he had been in Montague-place, but he entered into no house there. Mr. Bushe then craved a remand to a future day, and requested that the property discovered should be placed in safe custody. The case was then remanded till the 9th of September' ENFIELD PETTY (SPECIAL) SESSIONS. Before Messrs. EDWARD JONES WILLIAms, jun., Chair- man, EDWARD WILLIAMS, sen., and PRiSTON.) VIOLENT ASSAULT.—On Monday the above sessions were specially called for the purpose of receiving evi dence against George Cohen, a gunsmith, at the factory, Enfield-lock, which is under the control of the Board of Ordnance, who was charged under Lord Ellenborough's Act with cutting and maiminz Mr. Lovell, inspector of small arms, both Cohen and Lovell being iu danger from the injuries they respectively received. On Saturday week, about noon, Cohen gave Mr. Lovell a most violent blow on the back of the head with a file. Mr. Lovell was going out through the door at the time, and was for a moment stunned. On recovering himself, while turning round to see who had struck him, he was again attacked by Cohen, who exclaimed, " I am the man. Sir ; I am the man. You have starved me, my wife and family, and ruined us." Three of his fellow workmen closed upon him and prevented him doing further mischief to Mr. L , well, who was bleeding profusely. At this juncture Mr. James Gunner, acting inspector of the works, with a gun-barrel gave Cohen a dreadful blow upon his head, than rendered him insen sible, and from the effect of which serious results are expected. Both the wounded men were promptly at tended by medical gentlemen. Information was given to the police, when Cohen was given into custody, charged with assaulting Mr. Lovell. On the Chairman directing the case to be brought on, Mr. Clarke, who attended for Mr. Lovell, said that his client was unable to attend, as he was still suffering from the injury he had received upon his head. After a long discussion GII a point of form, and after an application of Mr. Dun combe, a solicitor, who attended on behalf of Cohen, Mr. Gunner was bound over to appear to answer Cohen's charge against him, and the inquiry was adjourned for a week. The alleged cause of Cohen's assault is a breach of contract on the part of the authorities, by which Cohen's wages were much reduced, and of which he sup posed Lovell to be the author. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Thomas Foley Taylor, a clerk, was charged before Mr. Alderman Sidney, with coultuitting an assault on a young woman, who described herself as being the wife of a manufacturer of imitation teeth, at present cut of employment. The complainant, Mrs. Cromwell, of Brunswick street, Blackfriars road, stated that about nine o'clock on Saturday evening, as she was in Fleet street, turn ing into Shoe-lane, the prisoner, who had a frit nd with him, accosted her. He said, "My dear, are you going to market ?" She replied " I am." He then put the lighted end of his cigar down upon her hand. She said, "Do not be foolish, you will burn my hand." Without saying anything further, or any other provoca tion, he seized hold of her, threw her down, and threw her clothes over her head. Her clothes were not spoiled, but she had a bruise upon her knee. Thomas Wray, a labourer at the City Gas Works, stated that he was present, and saw the prisoner take hold of the young woman, lift her off the ground at arm's length, and let her fall. Her clothes came up and her person was exposed from the manner in which he caught hold of her. She was stunned by the fall. Two women corroborated his statement. The prisoner stated that he was walking with a friend, and had been indulging a little too freely with drink, having been visit€d by an old acquaintance. He should not have interfered with the young woman if she had not endeavoured to force her company upon them, and to get rid cf her he merely gave her a push, which caused her to fall. He called his friend to substantiate this representation. David Kilo, of No. 6, Hatfield -street, Stamford -street, clerk, said, they found the prosecutrix and another woman, standing at the coroner of Shoe-lane. The women spoke to them, and they told them they would not have anything to do with them. The women per sisted in accompanying them down Shoe-lane. Witness walked first, and the prisoner and complainant were be hind him. He heard a noise which made him look round, and he saw the prosecutrix lying down, and his friend picking her up. Thomas Quarterman, the policeman, said he was at tracted by seeing a crowd, and finding the young woman had been hurt by the prisoner, who was drunk, he took him in to custody. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY questioned the young woman as to who commenced the conversation 7—She declared she did not. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY said it would have been more discreet if she had made no answer, and turned a deaf ear when she was accosted by the prisoner, sup posing her statement to be true. The prisoner might not have anticipated what would result from his foolish conduct, which amounted to brutality, and his drunken ness would not excuse him from the legal consequnces. He adjudged him to pay 11., as a compensation to the complainant for the hurt done to her ; and 21., as a tine for drunken and riotous behaviour in the street. In default of payment he would be imprisoned for one month. The prisoner paid the fines in the course of the day. BOW-STREET. A ferocious-lcoking fellow, named William Norris, was charged with stabbing Henry Figgins with a shoe maker's paring knife. The case was only partially heard, owing to the inability of the prosecutor to attend. The two men were living together in Feathers-court, Drury-lane, and hay. ing quarrelled, the prisoner inflicted seven wounds in the side of Figgins, or on two of them being of a serious character. He expressed his regret to the constable that he did not take away his life. This is the third or fourth case of stabbing which has been investigated at Bow-street within as many weeks. Mr. JARDINE remanded the prisoner for further ex amination. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1846. TVORSHIP-STREET. An elderly man, named Richard Tweedy, described as a foreman in the London Docks, and residing at No. 4, Grove -street, Hackney, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with cutting and wounding his wife, Catherine Tweedy, with intent to murder her. John Tweedy, the prisoner's youngest son, was exa mined, and stated that his eldest brother had spent the afternoon of Sunday last at Epping Forest, and on re turning home, as the family were about to take supper, his father prohibited him from sitting at the table, as he had gone out without permission; his mother at the same moment came into the room, and, in ignorance of what had transpired, told the boy to sit down to supper, upon which the prisoner started up in great excitement, and exclaiming that " she should die," made a violent thrust at her throat with a knife he had in his hand, inflicting a frightful gash, from which the blood gushed out upon the floor, and she was about to fall when her eldest son ran forward and caught her in his arms. Sergeant Hawkes handed to the Magistrate a medical certificate, stating that the flesh and superficial muscles of the woman's throat had been divided to the extent of three inches, descending into the jugular vein, and caus ing an extensive haemorrhage, but that the result of the injury could not at present be ascertained. In answer to the charge, the prisoner stated that he was greatly irritated at the time, but had no intention of inflicting the wound, and was merely menacing his wife with the knife, when he accidentally stumbled against the table, and the injury was thereby involun tarily occasioned. _ _ BROUGIITON said the exclamation the prisoner had used on rising from the table displayed an animus wholly at variance with his defence, and he should commit him to prison on the capital charge, but order him to be brought up again in a week, when the result of his wife's injuries would probably be decided. THAMES. Michael Donovan, an Irish labourer, was brought before Mr. Broderip, charged with assaulting bis coun tryman, Cornelius Driscoll, and biting off the first joint of one of his fingers. The complainant, whose arm was in a sling, and who appeared in great pain, stated that on Sunday night he went into a public-house in Penny-fields, Poplar, with his wife, to obtain some refreshment ; and while they were talking over a pint of beer the prisoner, who was in the same house with his brother-in-law, invited him to drink with him. lie declined, and said the pint of beer he had was emough for him, on which the pri soner commenced abusing him, and made use of very bad language. A quarrel ensued, and the pri soner and his relative both struck him, and knocked him down, his coat and waistcoat were torn, and he was held down by the prisoner, who kiclled him and rendered him quite helpless. During the struggle the prisoner got his (the witness's) finger in his mouth, and began to bite it. He called out to the prisoner, "Let my finger go," but he scrunched it with his teeth, and before he could extricate it lie bit the end of it right off: Mr. BRODERIP—DO you mean to say he has actually bitten a portion of your finger off ? Driscoll—Here it is, your Honour. (The witness then handed to the magistrate the last joint of th e f ore fi nger o f hi s l e f t hand, which had been bitten off, and was picked up by a policeman.) The prisoner, a morose-looking fellow, said, the pro secutor struck him first, and that he did not strike in re turn until he was caught hold of by him. Driscoll said he did take his part as well as he could after he was struck, and hit Donovan again. Mr. BRODERIP, after observing that as no instrument was used, this was not a felonious wounding within the statute, but resolved itself in law into a violent assault only, ordered the prisoner to find hail to answer the charge at the sessions, himself in 601., and two sureties of 301. each. He also directed the police to look after this case, which was just one of those which might terminate in lockjaw, and then the prisoner would have to answer a more serious charge. The prisoner, in default of bail, was committed. THE LINCOLN JACK SHEPPARD . It turns out that the prisoner Handley, who effected his escape from the city gaol on the 20th inst., climbed from the radiating airing-yard to the top of the police station, over two or three iror.spike impediments, and descended into the outer yard ; thence he climbed to the low wall separating the woman's yards from the turn key's lodge, and descending into the turnkey's yard, found the front door incautiously left open, and of course walked out. With very great precaution, indicating consider able previous cogitation and arrangement, he went de liberately across the ground fronting the sessions -house, to the iron gate, evidently for the" purpose of impress ing any one in the neighbourhovd who might see him with the belief that he was a discharged prisoner, and preventing any immediate alarm that might be given, were he seen leaping over the low wall into the beast-square. He was unable to open the gate, and was therefore compelled to submit to the alternative of being retaken in a few minutes, or run all risks to escape ; " whilst there is life there is hope"—over the wall he went ; no one saw him, and the escape was not de tected in the interior of the prison for several minutes. Passing into the low fields, he went by a roundabout way to Nettleham, where he procured a long smock-frock, entirely concealing the prison dress, and thus favouring the chance of his eluding detection. How ever, he was seen by Mr. Crane, of Nettleton, to whom he d_tailed the circumstances of his escape, and who very singularly made no effort to detain him. Before his escape, he had obtained a piece of iron and had loosened several bricks in his cell, In the course of Friday last (the same day after his escape), having seen a farmer at Fiskerton passing along the road to Lincoln market, he went to his house, and said that he had been hired to bring a letter to the master, and had met him on the road and given it to him, and that he had ordered him to come and get some refreshment. Having obtained a meal, he set off, and though a reward was offered for his ap prehension, nothing more was heard of him until Tuesday last, when he was seen at Aubourn by a person named Hickson, who knew him, and who having seen in the Mercury of last week an account f his escape, got the aid of the parish constable and had him apprehended. After the handcuffs had been put on, he contrived to get from the grasp of the constable, and darted over the fields like a hare, and though his hands w ere t h us t i g h t ly fastened before him, he led both such a cha se th at i t was with some difficulty he was recaptured. H av i ng been safely re-lodged in the city prison, he was searc h e d, a nd two letters were found upon his p erson, s h ow i ng that he had been preparing to follow his old vocation in another part of the county; both purported to be written by Samuel Borks, of Nettleham, and were addressed to J. Spittlehouse, of Kirkby on Bain, requesting the loan of 31, towards the payment of the price of a horse he had purchased, and that it should be sent by the bearer, J. Key, who lodged with him, and had lent him 4/. Of course it was the prisoner's intention to deliver one of these letters and obtain the money, had he not been luckily recognised at Aubourn,—Lincoln Mercury. REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE.! (From the Mark-lane Express.) We have experienced almost uninterruptedly fine weather during the week ; and harvest operations, which had been brought to a stand by the previous wet, have again been actively resumed. Another week of dry weather would probably suffice to enable farmers to get in the remainder of the crops of grain in England, but it will require a longer period to finish the harvest in Scotland and the north of Ireland. The change from elooiny- wet to fine sunny weather has, as might have been expected, had some effect upon the grain trade, and a check has been given to the upward movement in prices ; the real cause of the recent advance, viz., the potato disease, having for the moment been lost sight ot. We have no hesitation in stating, however, that the future range of prices of corn, and indeed of all kinds of provisions, will depend entirely on this one question—if the disorder should really prove as serious in its conse quences as it seems to threaten, the present inactivity will certainly be only temporary. We will not go the lengths which some writers on this subject have, who do not hesitate predicting the total destruction of the potato crop ; but supposing only one•fourth part of what is usually grown in the kingdom should be lost, this would leave so great a void to be filled up by substitutes as to require an importation of foreign grain on a more extensive scale than has been required by this country for many years. In esti mating the probable deficiency at one-fourth we are most likely much below the mark, but we have no wish to exaggerate the evil. The loss of a fourth of this important crop is, however, a matter of sufficient mag nitude, more particularly as we have no surplus produce ot other articles. The yield of wheat may, perhaps, be about an average; but it is admitted on all hands that the spring-sown crops have, as a whole, turned out de fective; and we cannot, therefore, come to any other conclusion, but that a large importation of foreign corn will be required, t obtain which it will be necessary to pay high prices. For the moment, a calm has succeeded to the excitement of the preceding fortnight; and we should not be surprised to see a re-action to the extent of a few shillings per quarter in the value of wheat. Our reason for 'supposing that this may occur is, the probability that for a week or two to come farmers may (as is their custom immediately after harvest) bring forward rather large supplies; and as the millers have lately bought pretty freely, they may, after so important an advance as that recently established, perhaps deem it prudent to refrain from making further purchases, par ticularly if the weather should continue fine. Already the deliveries from the growers have increased, and at many of the markets in the agricultural districts a larger quantity of wheat has this week been brought forward than the demand has been enabled to take off; still no actual reduction in quotations has hitherto occurred. A t the principal consuming towns the inclination to purchase has also fallen off. The reports from Liverpool, of Tuesday, state that business has become dull ; later in the week the inquiry again improved, and on Friday buyers experiehced some difficulty in securing either wheat or flour at the cur rency of the preceding market day. From Hull and Leeds the tone of the advises is more subdued ; but at Wakefield, on Friday full terms were realised for new wheat. In the western and north-western parts of the king dom holders had, it appears, displayed more firmness than a.t some of the places already referred to ; and the business done at Birmingham and Bristol on Thursday was at priqes about 2s. per quarter above those of the previous week. From Scotland we learn that farmers had been so busily engaged in the fields as to have had little leisure to bring grain to market ; which circumstance, together with the usual complaints of the spread of the potato murrain, had, notwithstanding the somewhat dull an ceunts from the south, rendered holders of corn unwil ling to sell except at enhanced rates; and prices of most articles were quoted higher at Edinburgh and Glasgow on Wednesday. At the former town samples of wheat, barley, and oats, had been shown, mostly of infei ior quality; that of the wheat is described as coarse, and not altogether free from sprout. The letters from Ireland continue to give a truly de plorable account of the prospects of the potato crop ; in many districts it is reported to be wholly lost, and no part of the island appears to have escaped the infliction. Under these circumstances the value of all sorts of food had undergone a further rise, and nothing but scarcity and high prices were talked of. The arrivals of wheat coastwise into London have rather increased, 6,326 quarters have been received this week, against 4,656 quarters the preceding eight days. A considerable proportion of this supply was, however, sold by sample previous to arrival ; and the quantity exhibited at Mark-lane has not been large. On Wed nesday there were only a few runs fresh up on the Essex and Kent stands, and scarcely anything from more remote counties ; the demand was, however, extremely languid, and considerable difficulty was experienced in effecting sales at previous rates. Later in the week the anxiety to realise became greater, and in partial instances a slight decline was acceded to on Friday. The millers are even now but indifferently stocked. They appear, nevertheless, satisfied to buy from hand to mouth, and by no means disposed to enter into extensive operations at the lately enhanced rates. The ' inquiry for free foreign wheat bas also fallen off materially of late ; and though holders have remained tolerably firm, unless an impetus be given to the demand by a return of wet, or a still further spread of the po tato disease, the value of the article may probably undergo a temporary depression. At the same time we can hardly expect any material reduction from present terms, for there is certainly little prospect of large im portations at present, and our own stocks are already greatly diminished. Prices of Wheat have for some time been higher on the Continent than in this country, and the recent rise here is likely to cause a further en hancement abroad. This, and the comparatively high duty, for it has now risen to the highest point (10s. per qr.) under the existing law, must have the effect of checking consignments from the Baltic. The recent im portations from thence have been landed in bond ; and the same course will probably be pursued with any car goes which may still come to hand. At present the quantity under Lock in London is trivial ; on the sth inst. there were only 8,394 qrs., and the exports have since been as large, if not larger than the imports. The demand for bonded for shipment to France still con tinues, but no operations of consequence have been en tered into since our last, the terms asked having been too high to allow of the execution of the orders which have been received. Since the advance in the top price of Flour to 465. per sack, the bakers have bought the article much more cautiously than before; and the inquiry for Nor folk and other ship samples has also fallen off. In American Flour the transactions have been on a restricted scale, and on Friday purchases might in some cases have been made 6d. per barrel below the extreme rates last week. The stock of this article in bond in the kingdom consisted, on the sth inst. of 39,096 cwts., and there were on that day 20,389 cwts. in London. Barley, of home growth, has come to hand sparingly, only 490 qrs. having been reported up to this (Saturday) evening. The principal part of the supply has consisted of new, the quality varying from fine to inferior. The latter has been very dull of sale, but really choice malt ing parcels have teen eagerly taken at full prices, 38s. and even 40s. per qr. having been paid for the best. In foreign Barley nothing of interest has been done, and there is no change deserving notice. The high rates paid for the new English must influence the averages before long, and it is not improbable that the duty may recede later in the year. At present there is not much Barley in bond here, but we may expect some quantity from the north of Europe. Malt of fine quality has been in fair request, and has commanded high terms. The market has been sparingly supplied with oats of home growth, but the receipts from abroad have been very liberal, 31,661 qrs. having been reported during the week. This large foreign arrival, together with the improvement which has taken place in the weather, has caused a decided reaction in the trade. On Wednesday factors had not yet made up their minds to accept lower terms, and buyers being unwilling to pay former rates, scarcely anything was done. Ou Friday the operations were on rather a more extensive scale ; but to induce the dealers to purchase, an abatement of Gd. to ls. per qr. had to be submitted to. Fliglish beans have sold readily at Monday's advance, and foreign have also met with attention at fully previous prices. There has been a speculative inquiry for peas ; maples have brought 385., boiling 455. to 475., and in some cases choice qualities 50s. per qr. FOREIGN CORN TRADE. By the steam- ship Hibernia we have accounts of recent dates from North America. Our letters are almost silent as to the result of the harvest, but as prices had rather receded than advanced at the principal markets, we conclude that the produce of the crops had realised expectation. Advices from New York of the 15th instant, inform us that the sale of Flour had been more or less interfered with, owing to the scarcity of vessels and high freight demanded for England. Few captains were then willing to accept less than 2s. 6d. per brl. to load for Liverpool ; whilst shippers had been endeavouring to close charters at 2s to 2s. 3d. per brl. The difficulty ex Jerienced in obtaining ships, and a falling off in the English demand, had caused a slight depression in the value of Flour, and there were then more sellers then buyers of prime Michigan and Genes see, at 4 dollars per brl. Southern Flour was then still e ith slo b ! slo he. w.

The accounts from Canada say very little as to how the harvest was likely to terminate, but there, as in the markets of the United States, prices had tended downvtards, which may be regarded as a good omen respecting the productiveness of the crops. .At Montreal, on the 11 th of August, the demand for Flour was languid, and the sales during the week had consisted of 500 brls. fine at 21s. 11d., 1,000 hrls. extra fine at 21s. 101 d., and 500 brls. superfine at 22a. 9d. per barrel. The demand for wheat had fallen off materially, and the stock in stores had increased ; still holders had displayed considerable firmness. From the north of Europe the reports are still without interest, very little business having been done at any of the leading ports for weeks past, and quotations having consequently almost become nominal. A letter•from Dantzig,of the 22d August, states, however, that Wheat had engaged some attention since the English mail of the 15th inst., and that there were then no offers of de cent stout qualities of mixed or high mixed below 435. to 455. and 465. per quarter free on board. The weather had been favourable for harvest operations, which were fast drawing to a close in that neighbourhood. The re ports of the yield of the wheat crop were not generally favourable, and the few samples of new, which had been received from the banks of the Vistula, had proved of indifferent quality and weight ; the latter being 591bs. to 601bs. per bushel. From the nearer ports the accounts relative to the yield and quality of the wheat crop are also, on the whole, rather unfavourable ; the belief that the produce of wheat would be short had assisted to keep up prices, and quotations were not by any means lower either at Rostock on the 24th, or Stettin on the 22nd, than they had been previously. The Hamburgh letters of the 25th instant, state that the demand for wheat had improved since the previous post day, owing to the advance in the English markets. A few purchases had been made for shipment, but the principal part of what had been taken had been for local consumption. Saale Wheat, weighing from 581bs. to 60Ibs. per bush., had sold at from 41s. 9d. up to 435. 9d. per qr., and for fine 621bs. marks equal to 465. 3d. per qr. had been paid. Barley, to be shipped from Denmark had found buyers at 21s. to 225. per qr., according to weight; and Danish oats, weighing 391bs. per bush., had realised 19s. per qr. free on board. From the south the advices are of a more lively cha racter; for though little or nothing seems to have b•ten done in wheat at any of the Mediterranean ports cn British account, the demand had, nevertheless, ben active. From Marseilles we learn, under date of 22d of August, that considerable purchases of wheat had been made there at very full terms, equal to 465. 9d. per quarter having been paid for superior soft Odessa, and 40s. 9d. for very inferior quality. Indian corn had been in re quest et 235. 9d. per quarter, free on board. At 'Trieste and Venice little or nothing had, it seems, been dine in wheat, but Indian corn bad na.A a ready sale, at about 21s. 6d. per quarter. MARKET NEWIS-(YESTERDAY IK2 Y IVIAELIENTS.

Only about 250 hhds have been sold at rather lower prices, establishing a decline of 6,1 to is per cwt. The public sales have consisted prin cipally of 4,563 bags, 296 casks Mauritius, 4,540 bags Bengal, 1,165 bags of Madras, 5,301 bags (clayed) Manilla, and 1,405 hhds 164 barrels Porto Rico, nearly all of which found buyers (excepting the Porto Rico), but went off very heavily, and at a decline of fully is to 2s upon the mid and low brown descriptions, of which the greater part cimsisted, while the better sorts brought fully the pre vious value. Only about one-half the Porto Rico found buyers, at 46s to 50s for low to good yellow, and 44s to 45s 6d mid greyish clayed yellow Manilla, being for the Porto Rico fully previous rates, but the Manilla comparatively cheap. The quantity of British Plantation landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 1,757 hhds, 216 tierces, 196 barrels; there were taken for home consumption 1,220 hhds, 116 tierces, 251 barrels. The stock in the same places is 10,452 hhds, 1,061 tierces, 7,840 barrels. COFFEE.-140 casks 120 barrels Jamaica, and 1,201 bags Ceylon at auction only partly sold, at rather lower prices. Rum.—The quantity landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 813 puns 74 hhds. There were taken for home consumption 148 puns 39 hhds, and ex ported 162 puns 192 hhds. The stock in the same places is 9,324 puns 2,136 hhds. SALTPETRE.-1,255 bags Bengal at auction were all taken in at 2Gs to 26s 6d for 4% to 3 per cent. refraction, being rather below the previous value. TALLOW.—P. Y. C. is quoted 42s 3d to 42s 6d per cwt. for new, and 41s. 9d to 42s for old on the spot. Town is 43s 6d par cwt. TEA.—The market is dull. (From the London New Price Current of September 1.) SUGAR.—To-day West India Sugar was purchased re luctantly for all purposes, although there were sellers in most cases 6d per cwt. under the rates of Friday, and the quantity sold by private contract did not exceed 170 hhds and tierces. At public sale 179 hhds 6 tierces of Barbadoes were chiefly disposed of. REFINED.—To-day there were sellers of Refined goods upon further reduced terms, still the home trade operated with caution; the value of brown lumps is 61s 6d to 62s 6d, and standard lumps 63s to 63s 6d. Bonded Crushed Sugar is not to be had on lower rates, but there was not much business transacted; first sort is worth 33s 6d to 34s per cwt. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was little passing pri vately in Mauritius, but 844 bags at auction sold at the full value, and brought 50s to 52s for fine 3 ellow. EAST IzinzA —This afternoon four parcels of Bengal Sugars consisting of 3,297 bags, were brought to public sale, and, nearly the whole sold, but in some cases the rates taken. were rather under those previously current. Mor.AssEs.—The business transacted in all sorts of West India has been extremely limited, and prices must be re garded as nominal from 19s to 24s per cwt. The stock is still on the increase, especially of the low and middling sorts. In Bengal Treacle the operations are upon a more extended scale, and the parcels sold were at 21s 6d to 22s for good quality. Honey has further declined in value. FOREIGN.—To- day 1,758 boxes of yellow Havannah, im ported by a foreign ship, were offered at public sale, and sold in consequence of merchants lowering their prices 6d per cwt. TEA.—There has been a brisker demand tor the lower kind of eongou during the last few days, but better prices are not obtainable. Pouchong has met with a dull sale, and prices are looking down. in Green there has been little busi ness transacted, and if parcels were to be pressed for sale, a further decline in the value would be the result : the trade only purchasing sufficient for their immediate wants notwith standing the moderate rates at which there are sellers. Fine Scented Orange Pekoe has met with little attention, and is only worth 2s per lb. COFFEE.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee was sparingly dealt in, and 1,953 bags 6 cases at auction were only in part sold, upon easier terms. Jamaica is little wanted, and 52 casks at public sale were nearly all bought in. RICE.—To-day Bengal Rice was much sought after, but further advanced rates being insisted upon checked business privately, and, the sound of 1,650 bags at public sale was taken in is to 2s above the value, that is to say, good bold new pearly white at 21s, low middling broken, and dusty, 19s, but sea damaged sold at 13s 6d to 17s 6d per cwt. SincEs.—Cassia Lignea is little wanted, and the market being better supplied, prices are declining; there has been little business done privately, but 100 chests at auction were sold. In black Pepper several purchases have been made pri vately in all descriptions, and some parties will not sell at previous rates. White has been purchased with caution, and 3fid to 6d is the value of fine quality. Pimento has been in good request privately, and the supply being small, prices are firm. Nutmegs are little wanted, arrivals continuing to be large, prices are on the decline. Mace has been only in limited request, and prices are not so firm, arrivals having been on a more extended scale. Cloves are not cheaper, but few transactions have taken place. Ginger is not much wanted,. and having a fair supply, prices are lowering for East and West India. SPIRITS._To-day the limited business transacted in East and West India Rum was at prices in favour of buyers; small parcels were sold at 2s 5d for proof Leewarcis, at is I Id for Calcutta with certificate proof strength, and at 3s 6d to 4s for low to good Jamaica. INDIGO.—East India bas been purchased with much caution by exporters and the home trade, although there are sellers rather under the rates of the last quarterly sale. Spanish is dull of sale, and can be obtained upon rather lower terms. Ou.s.—A good demand has existed for Southern Oil, and importers having supplied the market sparingly prices have ruled firm ; the parcels disposed of privately were chiefly for home consumption. There has been little desire evinced to operate in Cod Oil. Holders of Seal are unwilling to lower their prices, but there has been scarcely any demand from exporters since our last report, and the home trade have been cautious in their proceedings, taking only sufficient for their immediate wants. The quantity of Seal Oil on offer privately is however larger than it was. Holders of Sperm are not inclined to further reduce their prices, and supply the market less freely. There has been a good business trans acted in Palm privately, and notwithstanding the con tinued arrivals prices are firm. In Rape Seed Oil a good deal has been done. For Olive the demand has been active, principally from the home trade. Linseed Oil has been in good demand for home consumption, but there being an increased quantity on offer, any material im provement in prices has been prevented from taking place, and 24s per cwt are the rates accepted for parcels on the spot. The arrivals of Oils have not been of much moment since this day week. TALLOW.—The demand has been brisk for Russian on the spot, and a further advance in the value has occurred, not withstanding the continued arrivals. Importers show much firmness, and some will not sell at present rates, as the trade everywhere are scantily supplied. The transactions for for ward delivery have been to a large extent, and at improved rates. All kinds of Tallow have met with increased atten tion, and prices are rising. IDISTRESSINI AND FATAL ACCIDENT AT APEDALE COLLDKET.—One of those awful casualties, s o frequent in mining districts, occurred at Apedale on Monday last. It appears that the pit No. 1 ( Sladdershill) has, for some time past, been considered dangerous, and great care has con stantly been used before the men were allowed to go down it, and commence their day's labour. That these precau hnisthbeepinit! tions have not been uncalled for, and that they have had faeto f this place t t h he e ir fi d rs u t e f e a ff te ec l t, ne w ei i d ll e b n e t gathered haseredm the ever taken On Monday morning a number of men went to the pit, headed by Daniel Kelsall, a turnsman, who being a sober steady per, on was much trusted. Kelsall had been in the habit of depositing his safely lamp at a certain point in the pit, sufficiently removed from the foul air to be considered safe. The current of foul air is directed into certain channels by means of drop-sheets ; but, on the morning in question, the drop-sheeps were not suspended as usual, the foul air had passed the point, and no sooner did poor Kelsall approach the part with a naked candle—in order to get the safety lamp—than an explosion took place. Kelsall and a companion named Lightfoot were killed on the spot, and three other colliers were severely burned. There were about thirty men and boys in the pit at the time, besides others descending, when the explosion took place. The rush of air to the mouth of the pit was so great that the party descending had the greatest difficulty in keeping their places; their hats were blown off their heads, and conveyed a distance of twenty yards up the shaft. On searching the pit to ascertain the extent of the accident, Relsall and. Lightfoot were discovered quite dead ; the latter had both legs broken, and was otherwise dreadfully mutilated, having been blown upwards of forty yards. The accident is wholly attributable to the absence of the safety lamp, and the neglect in not putting down the drop-sheets. We regret to hear that each of the sufferers has left a widow with four young children, and that both the women are at the present time enceinte. An inquest was held on the bodies last Tuesday, at the Robin Hood, Roggin-row, before W. Harding, Esq., coroner, when a verdict in ac cordance with the facts was returned. Staffordshire Mercury. AMERICAN SLAVERY.—Extract of a letter, dated Richmond, July 25, 1845 An unpleasant occurrence took place in this city yesterday. A man who has a number of hired negroes in his employment was proceeding for some slight offence to punish one of them by whipping, when the poor wretch, knowing his master's unmerciful nature, im plored that he might be hung at once instead of whipped. This of course would not answer, and after tying the negro's hands behind him in the usual manner, the employer went into another room to procure his cowhide, when the negro taking advantage of his absence rushed from the room, jumped into the river, and was drowned." .American paper.
