fourtb %baton FRANCE. A sergeant of the 33d regiment of the line, named Andres, who has been many years in the service, and had received the Cross of the Legion of Honour for his bravery and general good conduct, was tried on Monday by .c ourt - martial,. on . a charge of fraud and forgery, in appropriating to himself a sum of 135 f., with which he was e ntrusted as pay-ser g eant of his company, and making a false entry in his books with a view of preventing the discovery. The charge was clearly made out, but the defence showed that the pri soner intended to pay the money to the company, and ma de the false entry to gain time, as he expected daily to receive a remittance from his friends. It was admitted also that soon after he was arres'ed the prisoner did re ceive a remittance, and restored the sum that he had ab stracted ; but the bad feature of his case was that he, ill order to account for not paying the money in the fleet instance, pretended that it had been taken from under the pillow of his bed, and thus cast an imputa tion of theft on the sergeants who slept in the same room. The Court declared the prisoner guilty, and sentenced him to five years' reclusion, military degradation, and degradation from the Legion of Honour. As the imprisonment called reclusion is in the eye of the law an infamous punishment, and differs from tae ordinary sentence to imprison ment by rendering the person condemned to it liable to the surveillance of the police for the whole of his life, and as the law of year XII. of the Republic declares that no sentence or punishment carrying with is infamy shall be inflicted on a mem ber of the Legion of Honour until his degradation from the legion shall have been openly and solemnly pronounced, the commissary of the Government ap plied to the court to pronounce the degradation with all its formalities. This was accordingly done. The prisoner, on the reading of this part of the sentence of the court, was greatly affected. He became pale As death, and almost fainted. The last accounts from the Ile de la Reunion (Bourbon) are to the 9ch July. The small-pox had made numerous victims. The French vessel, the Grenouille of Marseilles had been pillaged and burnt on the western coast of Madagascar. The captain and part of the crew had been massacred, and one of the crew bad been taken prisoner by the chief or King of Menahe. SPAIN. A Madrid letter states that a band of brigands, who had long infested the province of Cordova, has been effectually put down by the Civil Guard, who came up with it just as it was about to reach Gibraltar, to claim protection. A conflict took place, in which five of the bandits were killed, and three wounded. Twenty-one were made prisoners. There was a very violent thunderstorm at Barce lona on the 10th. The electric fluid struck and destroyed the telegraph of the fortress of Mont. juich, and did considerable damage to the house of the Governor.

A Malmii (Sweden) journal states that Madame Lind•Goldschmidt has deposited a sum of 400,000 rig thalers in the hands of Provost Thomander and Dr. Weiselgren, of the cathedral, for the foundation of girls' schools in her native country. ITALY. A letter from Rome says—" The famous Engard Gasparoni, who is at present confined in the citadel of Civita Castellama, will, it is said, shortly be sent to another prison. He is the man of whom the illustrious Trappist, Baron Geramb, recounts such extraordinary exploits. Gasparoni pretends that he has been shamefully calumniated. It is alleged,' he says, that I have committed nearly eighty murders ; but that is an impudent falsehood. I have only committed thirty-six on my own ac count, and I cannot be made answerable for others in which I may have been engaged.' This brigand is tall, and of rather venerable appearance. Re is nearly sixty years of age ; his beard is entiroly white, and he wears the pointed Calabrian hat. The French soldiers who guard the fort sometimes converse with him. He amuses them by his jokes and frightful naiveté. As he capitulated to the Government, he has not been brought to trial, neither has his hand. His liberty has several times been cfLred to him, but he has con stantly refused it, unless his family, as he calls his band, shall also be nileased." MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

NEW STEAM-DOCKS IN THE BRISTOL CHANNEL. Somersetshire is divided upon a nautical question. It is proposed to make new docks for the ocean atearners which are now multiplyinc , so rapidly. Al ready an Australian Company has obtained a survey of the coast of the Bristol Channel; the people of the plac e are on the alert, and Bristol suddenly awakes to the fact that if it do not bestir itself in emulation of Liverpool Glasgow, an d Southampton, it may " be obliterated from the list of important seaports:' Steam ships of immense size, twice the length of the Great Britain, are i n process of construction ; and opinion incli nes to anticipate a continuance in the practice of makin g %hips much larger than they have been. Ports of corresponding size are needed ; and in a trade so suddenly and rapidly increasing, there is room for the Severn to take its share without de frauding the Thames, the Cl yde , the Mersey, or the Solent. Various plans are on foot; but two may be said to divide the field; and they may also be described, in general terms, as ,f b e i ng severally sup ported by eCiount Bristol, and by the the merchantmen country gentlemen o f 5 7 into a large and to connecOne plan is, to convert . P.otislle.ad 13 • harbour, by erecting t the new port with the Great Westernßailway, This piers , port has the advantage of being near to Bristol. We are assured that the intended railway is not really, asat first might be supposed, a revival of the abandoned project of the Portbury Pier and Harbour line, b ti that it o ff ers great i mprovemen t s on that scheme. T O avoid expensive tunnelings, it will make a detour by Pill, Ha m G reen, and Rownlaam Ferry ; and it is cal culated that " the whole cost of the line and piers, includin g l aw-charges, " will not excee d 120,0001. The last s t a tement---" including law-charg,es , ' too . , looks astou n di ng; but it is evidently less tangible in its data than the other parts of the plan, and therefore challenges less exact criticima ; and there is no doubt that the docks and any needful approaches will be well worth their cost, whatever that may be. We are told by a local paper friendly to this plan, that it " cannot fail to be of the greatest benefit to Bristol," as the Corporation of Bristol and the Bristol Charity Trustees are the greatest owners of the land at Por tishead, and in enhancing its value they are increasing the rents of the Councii and the Trustes." The other plan starts from the suggestion of Lieu tenant Denham, who made the A dmiralty survey of the B r i sto l Channel in 1835. Mr. Denham pointed to oa t pl ace es th e hmure i s it e of a port for Ireland, THE SIT N, for America, Australia, and indeed for the world. That place is Sand Bay, an indentation of the coast nearer to the sea than Portishead ; and the advocates of this plan are not only strong in that unconcerted authoritative reinforcement, but they point to many inherent and collateral advantages. One essential of a great dock should be its ready accessibility ; and in this respect Sand Bay is somewhat better off than Portishead, since it lies but a little way off the main trunk of the Great Western, and between two of its branches, those to Clevedon and to Weston-super- Mare. Sand Bay is barely two miles from that trunk line ; the new railway which would of course be constructed might, for less money than the Portia head branch by Rownham-ferry, be rendered direct, and more ample ; probably furnished with double lines. The whole of the section of coast, therefore, that includes Sand Bay would be provided with its own direct branch and side branches to what may be called the suburban wings that would inevitably extend coastways from the docks. On the other hand the bay is right opposite to Cardiff, and within ten miles of that port, and within fifteen miles of Newport ; so that its supplies of coal, iron, &c., would be at a peculiarly handy distance. The Sand Bay plan has the advantage of larger space within the natural port—space enough for a navy ; the bottom is a firm soft mud, harmless to ships, easy to build upon;; and at low-water mark there is a sudden depth capable of fhating the largest ship in the world at all tides. These are great posi tive advantages ; hut the scheme also claims some scarcely less important negative a d va ntages. Some of the dangers darkly illustrious in th e traditions . of the Bristol Channel commence exactly at Sand Poi . nt, the upper natural pier of Sand Bay, and exten , d , in vidiously enough to Portishead : the shoal called . the English and Welsh grounds " occupies that portion of the Channel on the Southern coast. San , d Bay i s clear of that peril; it has exactly. the ' westing" which is prized in the navigation. of .Channel, and p a p r o e rt. It is not seaward it is obstructed by no difficulties to the voy. offered, by age, outward or inward. l fors., panshltiehesyu theirsu Such respectiveare he friends,tw o p for us, on the first inspection of the two, to pronounce which is the better. Obvious mercantile proximity, and old traditions of Bristol--great. port of coloniza tion in olden times, which gave to Barbadoes some of its earliest settlers—might in c li ne us, w i t h t h e l oca l traders, to Portishead. Evident natural advantages, and the prospect of a certain subst a ntive sufficiency to itself, might attract us, with the county people, to Sand Bay. But the ri g ht c h o i ce oug h t to b e deter mined by important facts, which are not yet before us in their bearing on the two plans ; and it will pro bably be for Parliament to decide. The day has per haps gone by w h en corrupt i on cou ld d ecree it s go ld en dictates to Sel ec t C omm itt ees on private bills ; and this question, which possesses a more than imperial, a cosmopolitan interest, will be watched too generally and too keenly to be decided on any other ground than that of the essential facts.—Spectator. giftb ambition.

THE MEMORY OF THE DEAD. ... 1 ... 2 With a few exception 9, and those in quarters where no better could be expected, the Irish press, of all shades of politics, has not failed to do full justice to the memory of the illustrious Duke, whose death is regarded by all right-thinking men as the greatest public calamity of modern times. The sneer of the ultramontane Tablet has been followed up by a Gal way paper (the Packet), which thus concludes its obituary notice : " The death of the Duke i 3 a calamity for the British oligarchy, who ever turned to his counsel with faith in the hour of crisis. The great captain is dead, and there is not an unmoved heart among those he worked for so long and well, and there is not a tearful Irish eye from the blue bays of Cork to the cliffs of Donegal. May Erin never rear such another son—to turn his mighty genius to the service of her tyrant. Peace and forgive ness to his immortal soul!" Another Galway paper (the Vindicator) altogether out-Herods the foregoing. No one will envy the feelings of the writer who could pen such language as this : " The Irishman, Wellington, has gene after the Englishman, Peel—the two eyes of England are out. Henceforth she will want—but we trust will not obtain —lrishmen to guide her armies, and councils she will be obliged to trust to her sons, who are destitute alike of the eloquence of Burke and the courage of Wel lington—stolid, stupid, swinish Englishmen. England is weeping ty:er tee coffin of an Irishman who we: loyal to Britsia though a traitor to his native country. That [Tishman was the greatest cummander that ever led the British armies to victory. He was emi nently suce.eisful, and this because he had such legions as the Connaught Rangers to fight for Eng and, whereas other commanders who mar shalled in other days the hosts of Britain were encoun tered in their great pitched battles by our brethren of the Irish Brigade. Were we still following the standards of France—were we still as of old shouting Faugh-a-ballagh under the bright emblazonry of the silken banners of hostile countries —were our exiled countrymen shouting and bleeding, as a hundred years ago, foremost and vociferous in the armies of the French Monarch, as when they pitched their tents beside the foaming Elbe and the rapid Iser—when they bivouacked in the glens of the Alps, and bled upon the margins of the Padus, what would have been the consequence? The field of Waterloo might have been another yontenoy. There was not an atom of chivalry about the Duke. lie did what he was paid for, and ho did it well; but he did nothing more. There was no heart in his fighting. He was the beau ideal of one of those Swiss commanders, who led their countrymen under the standard of the Dutch against the Hottentots or Carribs. He was in a word a Dugald Dalgetty, without the vain boasting of that hireling soldier. He served a commer cial people steadily, rigidly, soberly, regularly, just as a commercial people like to be served; it was such generals as Wellington—men of a trading, quakerly turn of mind, without any of that nobility of character, without a single particle of that ennobling romance which extenuates the faults and endears the memory of the Godfreys of old and the Murats of modern times —men like Wellington carried the banner of Carthage into the llanos of Spain; such men as he were hired by the trading aristocracy of Venice to fight for that suspicions republic in Greece; such men as he, ' dry and chilly disciplinarians whom fame unwillingly shines upon,' led the troops of the great ' Hanse towns.' ilen lilt° Wellington, traffickers in war, are precisely the men w h om a nat i on o f s h o pkeepers are certain to evolve —a man who manages his troops well, but would evidently manage a counting-house better.

Claude Marcel, French Co nsul at that city. The ob ject of the apparatus, as described in the local jour nals is to render the teaching of children matter o f brief and simple accomplishment, instead of being the slow and irksome process which an obstinate ad herence to former systems too frequently renders it at the present time. The apparatus consists of models by which the pupils are instructed in various branches of knowled g e. It attracted the particular notice of his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin, during his visit at the Exhibition, and received the dis tinguished stamp of his approval. The manner in which M. Marcel's invention operates to accelerate the acquisition of knowledge, is, we understand (among other important subjects connected with education), clearly elucidated in a work about to be published from the pen of M. Marcel, entitled " Language, as a Means of Intellec tual Culture and Interuational Communication." The Cork Examiner adds—" The name of M. Marcel has long held a high and distinguished place in con nexion with i _ educational movements, and the views which he has lectures b frequently expressed in the courses of city have e has from time to time delivered in this pro gressive, been at once original, instructive, and pro apparatus vs W h e i may mention, in connexion with the plan and fashion out eh M.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2.2, 1852. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—It is now seen that a wise caution was exercised last week in receiving the American accounts of damage to the cotton crop with large allowance for that exaggeration which belongs to the subject, the season, and the quarter from whence it comes. This is evident from the advices received yesterday ; and the storm, it appears, has been followed by highly favourable wea t h er. New cotton was coming freely into New Orleans, which rendered prices there somewhat irregular, and rather in favour of buyers ; while, at New York, there was a decline of to c. per lb. Still, many of the estimates of the crop were ranging as low as 2,800,000 bales. The effect which this complete correction of the previous unfavourable statements has produced in Liverpool, appears to be negative only, preventing that speculative advance which was ready to ensue upon their confirmation. That mlr , ksraeutitii: reported parted a t s o quiet m b a u r k t e fi t r , m a . w e A ek s th a e g slight by s t, t h i reportse la s inbt the e u t e h s e t o e business, ha l a ;e r entirel y of d advises to-day o d ay, hass ofar,b subsided ee b however,tl Satur daye in fluencede s any effect is prod uce d, i t i s i n the di rect i on of quiet ness. The cautiousness of the buyers has been ex cited afresh; and they have shown rather less dispo sition then b e f ore to enterinto engagements. The transactions are, therefore, but limited in their aggre gate amount; and those counts of water twist, whether •- in warp or bundle, which have latterly betrayed some degree of weakness, are certainly not im proved, though they are not perhaps any lower than they were a few days back. Cops are firm, but greater wariness is shown in buying them ; and the same may be said of warps from 24's upwards. On the whole, the yarn market must be described as steady, being supported by the contracts in the pro ducers' hands rather than by the existing disposition to purchase. In spinnings for the East alone is there any amendment. As the letters from Calcutta stute that some advance has taken place there in the prices of mule, from 40's upwards, a sufficient demand has arisen for those counts to add d. to their previous values. And, although the rates of exchange had receded two to three per cent., some little rise in the lighter 40-inch shirtings, as well as in jacconetts, has led to an increase of business, and given a slightly favourable bias to prices. Other de scriptions of cloth are without change. The accounts from China show a decline in goods and yarns from over-supplies ; but the effect was countervailed, in part at least, by a higher exchange. This state of things in China has rendered the better 40-inch shirt ings rather duller, and contributed to the increased dullness of water twist. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a steady de• mand for kerseys and coarse goods at last week's prices. The wool market continues much in the same state as it was the preceding week, with little change either in price or demand. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—We have had a very flat market to-day, and there has been scarcely any in quiry for any description of worsted goods. The yarn trade is rather more active, and the quotations exhibit a slight improvement. The transactions i❑ wool are not extensive, and prices have an upward tendency. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—There has been a decided improvement in our market to-day; more goods have been sold in the Cloth Hall than for some time. Fancy woollens, heavy black, and grey goods have been most in demand for home consumption this coming winter. During the week a fair trade has been doing in the warehouses. Some of the shipping houses have been very busy during the week with orders, both for the American and continental markets. POST-OFFICE NOTICE.

WIFE BY HER HUSBAND. , was charged with having On Monday, ftt the Lambeth Police Court, Richard caused s ß e Broad-street, st deathr e e t o L i fn a jinahn Perry, by striking Peery, 54, described as a labourer, residing at No. apartments her on the head and body in a frightful manner. u hi n s cl:r 'i n fe e:th those George Mitchell said he lived at No. 22, Broad street, Lambeth,. oc cupied by the prisoner and his wife. They were con tinually quarrelling, and the female was a lmost always drunk. On Saturday evenin g last, between eight and nine o'clock, the prisoner and deceased came home, apparently very comfortable, and shortly afterwards the form e r went out, and wa'i followed a little while after by his wife Some time afterwards the prisoner brought some coals home, and fining the deceased was out and had locked his door he came down stairs, but at the same time s h e entered the house. They had some words about the door being locked, when the prisoner, who appeared to be sober, went to bed, and the deceased again went out. Sh e re t urne d at a very late hour, much intoxicated, w h en h e h ear d t h em quarrelling, and immediately afterwards a heavy fall, which was succeede d b y com p le te silence. His wife called out to him that she hoped n o thi ng h a d hap pened between Perry and his w if e , an d i mmed i ate l y afterwards he heard th© prisoner put on his shoes and come down stairs, w hen be called o ut, " Wh o ' s thi s lying on the stairs ?,, rhe prisoner then returned to his room and brought a light down stairs. Mr. Elliott—You said you heard the fall in the prisoner's room ?—Witness replied that he did, but he did not her her go down the stairs after that. if He must have heard her she had, as he could hear the least thing on the stairs. The pri s oner, when h e came down to the landing near the door, called out to witness to get up , exclai▪ ming that his wife had no strength in her. Witness got out of bed and assisted him to carry the deceased up stairs, but he at once perceived that she was dead, and told the prisoner so. The latter exclaimed " Good God, you don't me an t o say so 1" They then carri▪ ed her into the room, an d put her on the bed, when he washed her face with cold water, and sent the prisoner for a doctor. The police shortly entered the house, and brought one in, when they pronounced her quite dead. Sergeant Atler, of t he L division, here informed the magistrate that the place where deceased w as found was 13 stairs lower than the prisoner's room. Mr. Elliott to Mitchell—llad she fallen down stairs, must you have heard her ? Mitchell— Yes ; I was not asleep, and I could have heard a cat walk down. Mr. Elliott—Then what you heard was th e quar relling, and the heavy fall in their room ? Mitchell—. That's all I heard, excepting the prisoner coming down and calling out, and his afterwards procuring a light when he roused me up. Margaret Mitchell, wife of the prece . ding witn ess , corroborated his evidence in every point. The de ceased was covered with bruises from head to l o i ns. Witness heard no scuffling on t he stairs, the fall took place in the prisoner's room. Miller, 136 L, proved being called into the house between one and two o'clock on the morning of the occurrence, and found the bo d y of deceased yet warm, upon which he procured medical attendance. Sergeant Atler, 4L, said, he also went to the house, when he looked at decea sed, and perceived a deep cut on the left eye, and a nother one across the nose. They were quite fresh. When apprehe n d e d the prisoner told witness that his wife had fallen out of bed, and subsequently observe d that it was hard for him to work all the week and t hen for his wife to spend all the money. There having been no medical examination, the prisoner was remanded. JOHNSON'S HOUSE, BOLT-COUBT.—Dr. Johnson's house was burnt down in 1819, the premises having been long previously occupied by the most emi nent English p rinter of his own or any other time, Mr. Thoma s B e nsle y , to whose energy the werld i s indebted for the perfection of the print ing machine. Th e h ouse o f Johnson's friend, Mr. Alle n , the printer, was not destroyed by the disastrous fire which reduced to ashes the Doctor's residence; indeed, only o ne corner of it was injured ; and, with that exception, it stand s as it wa s built shortly after the Great Fire of London. Mr. Allen's house , stands at the head of Bolt-court; Dr. John son's stood to its left. On the site of the latter was erected, after the before-mentioned fire, a s pacious printing - office, and both are now i n th e occupation of Mr. Tyler.—Notes and Queries.

OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) THE TRIt.L 01 COILNELIUS JULIUS TRIPE AND HENRY GRAIIAM MONTAGUE• (Continued from our Afternoon E.:titian of yesterday.) The Learned RECORDER summed up the case in a clear and concise manner. He said, that although the trial had occupied a very long time, he felt certain that no one would begrudge that time, for it had un doubtedly been a most wholesome inquiry. The dis closures that had taken place would no doubt operate as a caution to persons who were inclined to lend their capital to establish public companies of this or any other description to be careful who the partie s were with whom they associated themselves, and it would also be a caution to their poorer countrymen, such great numbers of whom were at this moment anxious to leave our shores in the hope of bettering their condition in another country, not to be led away by the inducements of disreputable persons to part with their money, but to take care to place themselves in cernmunication either with some agent of the Government for emigration purposes or else apply to some responsible party, and that these were the only modes in which they could carry out their intention without risk of being defrauded. Some strong observations had been made by the defendant's counsel upon the absence of some of the gentlemen whose names had appeared as directors of this com pany, and he must say that, with regard to two of them, Major Hawkes and Captain Smith, who ap peared to have taken an active part in the proceed ings, and the former of whom appeared to have been the first to direct the attention of Mr. Dawson to the subject of the company, it would have been sa tisfactory if they had been called as witnesses on the present occasion. There was no evidence whatever to show whether the company was originally projec ted by these gentlemen, or whether, in point of fact, the defendant had originally suggested its for mation, and endeavoured to induce them to join them in carrying it out; and if either Major Hawkes or Captain Smith had been examined, that point would, at all events, have been cleared up. He must remark, however, that it did not appear to him to be the duty of the prosecution to call those gentlemen; and, if their evidence had been considered really material for the defendants, it was their duty to have taken the proper steps to procure their attendance. The Learned Re corder then said, that it was not customary to make observations upon the conduct of a magistrate, but in the present instance, as a good many remarks had been made upon the course that was taken by Sir Robert Carden in connexion with the inquiry at the Mansion-house, he thought it right to say that it ap peared to him that the proceeding of summoning all the gentlemen who seemed to be connected with the transaction, with a view to make the necessary inqui ries of them, was the best that could be adopted, and the most likely to enable a magistrate to arrive at the truth of the matter. - The jury, after deliberating nearly an hour, re turned a verdict of Guilty against both the defendants. There were other indictments or a similar nature against them that were not proceeded with. Judgment was postponed. Matthew Hayes, 28, was indicted for _the man slaughter of John Evans. Mr. RYLAND, who held the depositions by direction of the Court, said it appeared to him the evidence was utterly insufficient to support the charge, and he should therefore, with the sanction of the Court, de cline to call the witnesses. A verdict of Not Guilty was consequently taken. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS', Sept. 21. Before Mr. WiTaam and a Bench of Magistrates, at the Guildhall, Westminster.) THE BRIGHTON CARD CHEATING CASE. In the course of tile day several of the grand jury came into Court, and the foreman, addressing the Learned Chairman, said that they had just had a bill presented which they felt some difficulty in dealing with, and they therefore requested that the Court would give them the assistance of a solicitor, or some person qualified to explain the nature of it. Mr. Wrruaist inquired what the bill was about ? The foreman replied that it was about Broome's affair. Mr. METCALFE said that this course was frequently adopted at the Central Criminal Court, where an officer of the court always gave such information of this nature as the grand jury required. The indict ment in question charged the defendant with a con spiracy to defeat the ends of justice, by keeping out of the way of the prosecutor and other persons in connexion with the late trial. He was perfectly clear from the decision arrived at in the case of Sill the other day that the prosecutor was victimised, and a man was not to be crushed because he happened to be a prizefighter. There had been no bill preferred for this offence, or against these persons before, either at this court or the Central Criminal Court. Mr. Wrrnast said that the grand jury must do the best they could, for he could make no order for as sistance to he given. There had been three or four bills found here before in this case, all of which had been removed to the Central Criminal Court, or else where, and they :night have taken this one there as well. The Foreman said they could not help that; they had the bill before them, and really did net under stand it. What were they to do ? Mr. WITUAM said they might do the best they could. The prosecutor had bad four bills already, and he might have taken the present one to the Cen tral Criminal Court. Mr. METCALFE must say this appeared to him a strange proceeding on the part of the Chairman. A man had a right to go to whatever court he pleased. A jury had already decided that the prosecutor was an injured man, and he (Mr. Metcalfe) felt bound to say that he thought it most improper for the Chairman to refuse the request of the grand jury, and to cast reflections on the prosecutor. The Foreman explained that they only requested the attendance of a solicitor at the investigation to know what they were to do. All they wanted was an explanation of the indictment, which they did not understand. When a bill was presented to them which was founded on a committal by a magistrate, they had the advantage of his judgment in forming their opinion ; but in this case they had nothing of the sort, and they therefore asked for the assistance of a competent person to explain. Mr. WITUAM said the bill might have been pre ferred at the Central Criminal Court, and he could not comply with their request. Mr. METCALFE said he should formally apply to the Court that the solicitor fur the prosecution might attend the grand jury merely to explainthe indict ment. The grand jury did not require hunto remain or submit the evidence or further guide their opinion. Mr. WITHAL repeated his decision. Mr. Maercaarr, considered that it was very extra ordinary conduct on the part of a judge, when a grand jury brought a bill into court and said they did not understand the nature of the offence charged, and asked for assistance from the Court, that they should be refused the assistance of the officer of the court or any other person to give the required infor mation ; and the prosecutor be told that he might have gone to another court. It was throwing a n imputation on the conduct of the prosecutor, who was a very respectable man. There were days when judges have told grand juries that they must find a bill, but those times were now passed by, and should never be revived. Mr. WITHAM would not alter his decision. The Foreman having - said that they should not have made the request had they not known that such as sistance was afforded at the Central Criminal Court, retired with his brother jurors. About an hour later they returned into court with some bills ; among them was one against William Hamp, William Watkins, and Charles Froberts for misdemeanour, which was returned ignored. SECOND COURT. (Before Mr. TURNER.) Caulfield Percy, aged 26, was indicted for having stolen a letter and a post-office order for 51, the pro perty of John Ayliff. The prosecutor was a gentleman's servant out of place, and lived at a coffee-shop in Dean-street, Soho, where the prisoner also lodged. According to the prisoner's statement, he was the prosecutor's ad viser, amanuensis, and confidential man, and it ap peared that he was aware that the prosecutor was ex pecting a remittance of Si. from his brother-in-law, who lived near Richmond in Yorkshire, and conse quently he kept a bright look out for the postman. One morning the expected letter was delivered, and the prisoner, who was waiting to receive it, took it and feigned to carry it upstairs to the prosecutor. The prosecutor never received it, but on the same day the order was presented at the office in Broad-street, Bloomsbury, signed " John Ayliff," and as that was the name contained in the letter of advice, it was paid to the person presenting it. The clerk could not say that the prisoner was the individual who re ceived the money, but the inference was that he had stolen the letter and forged the prosecutor's name to the order. The prisoner, about whom there seemed a great deal of plausibility and cunning, made a long defence, in the course of which he said that the prosecutor was concerned in racing matters with a " sporting prophet" who was in the service of the Marquis of Salisbury. He denied having had the letter. At the request of the jury, the witness who proved that the prisoner took up the letter was recalled.—H e swore that the postman called out, " A letter for Ayliff," upon which the prisoner said, " That is the letter I have been waiting for, and at once went out as if to go upstairs. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, an d Mr. TURNER sentenced him to nine months' impri sonment with hard labour. Francis Isaacs was convicted of having unlawfully f altered the dwelling-house of Maria Andrews, a widow, at 105, Glocester-place, Marylebone, with intent to steal certain goods therefrom. The prisoner, it appeared, was sentenced to ten years' transportation is 1847, but was liberated after a period of imprisonment in the Penitentiary. He was a well known thief. Mr. TURNER sentenced him to two years' imprison ment with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Edward Tomlinson and George Tomlinson were charged with having committed a daring street rob bery. Mr. Philip New, No. 18, Seymour-street, Euston square, said, about 1 o'clock on Monday morning he was passing through great Tichfield-street, when the prisoners came up and walked by his side. He bad not proceeded very far before he was suddenly seized by one of the men, whom he strongly believed to be George Tomlinson, who held him tightly round the waist while the other man, who he also believed was the other prisoner, robbed him of his gold watch and guard and then ran off. Prosecutor pursued, and saw the prisoner Edward Tomlinson pass something to the other prisoner. The prisoner Edward Tomlin son, seeing that he was pursued, turned round and struck him a blow which prevented him from con tinuing the pursuit, by which means the prisoner who bad the watch escaped. The prisoner who struck him said to him, " We ain't going to rob you, but if you want a poke I'll give it to you." Prosecutor called for the police, and gave the prisoner Edward Tomlinson into custody. When the prisoner was searched a pocket handkerchief was found in his pos session which had been stolen from him. Police constable Langham, E 268, beard the cry of "Police," and on proceeding to the spot found the prosecutor and the prisoner Edward Tomlinson to gether. The prosecutor charged the prisoner with stealing his watch and guard. The prisoner replied, " You can charge me if you like, but the man who stole your watch has run off." Witness took the prisoner to the station-house, and on searching him found a silk handkerchief secreted between his shirt and the waistband of his trousers, which was owned by the prosecutor. A witness named Tozer said he saw two men walking cn each side of the prosecutor, and he heard one say, "We do not want to rob you, but if you want a poke I'll give it to you." The prisoners re sembled the two men. In a few minutes he heard the cry of " Police," and saw one of the men running away. Police-constable Langham said he afterwards took the prisoner George Tomlinson into custody on a charge of assisting to rob the prosecutor of his watch. The prisoner denied the charge, but admitted he was with his brother in Great Titchfield-street between twelve and one o'clock on the Monday morning. The prisoners were fully committed for trial. MARYLEBOA E. Ellen Manning, a married woman, was brought up from the infirmary of Marylebone Workhouse before Mr. Broughton, charged with having attempted to commit suicide by swallowing a quantity of oil of bitter almonds. George Kitchen, a youth living with his father, a greengrocer, High-street, Marylebone, said that about noon on the 9th of September he was in Northum berland-street, New-road, when, on passing the de fendant, he heard her exclaim, " I have got something in my hand which will do for me." She then put a bottle to her mouth, which he endeavoured to seize hold of, but he was unsuccessful, and she drank the whole of the contents. She flung the bottle into the road, and almost instantly fell on the step of a door. He called a policeman, who went to her assistance. Policeman Beck, 290 D, produced an ounce phial, which had on it s a label with the name of " Gallard, 30, Lisson-grove,—Poison." He stated that he found the defendant insensible, and that he took her to the infirmary of Marylebone Workhouse, where she was immediately attended to. Mr. BROUGHTON inquired if the stomach-pump or an emetic was applied ?—Mr. Messer, relieving officer of the parish, who accompanied defendant to the court, replied in the negative, and stated that a new process was used, by means of galvanism, when she was found to have taken oil of bitter almonds. Mr. BROUGHTON—What! from a galvanic bat tery ? Mr. Messer—Yes, Sir. Mr. BROUGHTON—In what way does it act ? Did it causes her to vomit? Mr. Messer—lt causes the stomach to resume its muscular action, when the pa tient vomits the whole of the poison. It is considered a more efficacious application than the stomach-pump. It was the first time it had bean used at the infirmary. Mr. BROUGHTON—Is it a painful operation ? Mr. Messer—No, Sir. It produces a slight shock to the system. Mr. BROUGHTON—HOW long was it before the bat tery was applied after her admission ? Mr. Messer— Immediately. When brought in she was in a state of paralysis, and she would have died but for the prompt attention of the two medical officers, who succeeded in restoring her to consciousness. Ihe defendant stated that she swallowed sixpenny worth of the oil of bitter almonds. Mr. BROUGHTON — Why did you take the poison ? Defendant stated that she did not live with her hus band, who allowed her 10s. a-week. She met him in Hanover-square last Friday three weeks, when she wanted him to supply her with some furniture, which he declined to do. They had then some altercation, and she had been unhappy in her mind ever since, w hen she determined to destroy herself. The doctors were very kind to her. Mr. Messer said the defendant's husband was a tailor, and had a salary of four guineas a week. The brother of the defendant agreed to take her to his house and she was discharged. WORSHIP-STREET. Elizabeth Hastings and James Jackson, the former a woman of notorious character, were charged with assault and robbery. A person named Sullivan was proceeding on his way home through Commercial-street, Whitechapel, at a late hour on the preceding night, when be was accosted by the female prisoner, who forced her con versation upon him, and ultimately induced him to see her to her lodgings. These were in a house of a very infamous description, in a place called George yard ; and the prosecutor had been no sooner shown into a parlour than the woman attempted to rob him. This proceeding he resisted as well as he could, and tried to push her away from him, but she immediately placed her back firmly against the door, grasped him tightly by the hair of his head, and, a violent struggle ensuing between them, in the course of which the prosecutor made vigorous efforts to re lease himself from her clutches and escape from the place, the woman, on seeing that he was likely to do so, partially opened the door, and shouted out " Barney, Barney," as loud as she could. This signal was immediately answered by the door being burst in and the sudden appearance of the male pri soner, who, without uttering a word to the prose cutor, dealt him such a heavy blow on the side of hie head that, notwithstanding his female confederate still retained her grasp of the prosecutor's hair, he in stantly dropped to the floor. Both prisoners then rifled his pockets of all the money he had about him and rushed upstairs, and the prosecutor, upon recovering his feet and scattered senses, made the best of his way to the street door, upon reaching which he called lustily for the police, and never left off until a constable made his appearance. Both then re-entered the house to gether, and upon examining one of the upper rooms discovered the two prisoners, who were at once given in charge. The male prisoner was then questioned as to what money he had about him, and replied that he had only Bs., which he had received at the docks, in his fob, but upon searching his pockets a quantity of loose silver was found in one of them, the coins of which exactly tallied with those the prosecutor had been robbed of, and they were both thereupon trans ferred to the station. When called upon for their defence the male pri soner protested his innocence, declaring that he only pushed the prosecutor away from his confederate, but had not struck him ; and the woman having denied all participation in the robbery, and alleged that the prosecutor had first struck her violently without the slightest provocation and then flung her heavily over the fender, but both which statements the prosecutor assured the magistrate were without the slightest foundation. Mr. VEYNCOURT ordered the depositions to be taken, and they were each fully committed to New g ate for trial. THAMES. Georgio Sarmorgortatvich, an Austrian seaman, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with steal ing three sovereigns from the person of Pietro Mori, a Spanish seaman belonging to the Spanish ship Theatea, lying in the London Docks. The prosecutor stated, through the medium of an interpreter, that about 12 months ago, when he was t in the port of London, he met the prisoner, who until then was a stranger to him, and after they had e been drinking beds drinking together for an hour or two they in th(tsanae room, where they slept all night, h did not he slept pretty well himself, but the prisoner indeed, and i o r r rather sleep at all, for he was very restless night.

The prisoner said he knew nothing of them ; but witness being satisfied that he had fallen in with the right man, seized him and gave him into custody. In answer to a question by Mr. YARDLEY, the prosecutor said the prisoner ran in and out of different streets a year ago, and by that means evaded him and got away. Police-sergeant Weakford, No. 5 H, received the prisoner, and on making him acquainted with the n ature of the charge, he said the prosecutor lent bim 3/. a year ego. The prisoner did not offer a word in defence, and was fully committed to Newgate for trial. THE cok).NTAi iNiAAKETs . IPS WIC 11, SEPT. 21.
