THE EARL OF _CARLISLE AT __ MORPETEI. MORrETH, SATVlLDAY.—Yesterday evening the Earl of Carlisle delivered a lecture in the Town. hall of this ancient borough, under circumstances of con siderable interest. A few days ago, it being known here that the Noble Earl was shortly about to visit his relatives, the Hon. and Rev. F. R. Grey and La dy Elizabeth Grey, at the rectory in this town, the committee of the Mechanics' Institute, of which his Lordship is the patron, assembled and passed a resolution inviting him to avail himself of the occa sion Of his visit to give a lecture on whatever subject he might choose to the members of the institute at large. The resolution was duly communicated to the Noble Earl by the secretaries, and in the course of a day or two elicited from his Lordship a courteous reply to the effect that he had not had time to prepare an original lecture, but offering to read his lecture on the " Poetry of ope." The committee gladly em braced this proposal, and the necessary arrangements were made tor the occasion. The Noble Earl arrived here by the mail train on Wednesday night, after attending the banquet given that day at Newcastle-upon-Tyne to Mr. Ord, and immediately proceeded to the rectory, where ht joined the Countess of Carlisle and the Dowager Countess Granville, who are also at present on a visit there. On the following day his Lordship, ac companied by his agent, Mr. Fenwick, of Nether ton, visite:l the magnificent new church of St. James, the foundation stone of which was laid by him a few years ago, and which has been erected by voluntary subscriptions collected under the auspices of the pious zeal of his brother-in-law, the Hon. and Rev. F. R. Grey, the rector of this town. They also inspected, under the guidance of the Rev. Mr. Lowe, the new Roman Catholic chapel built re cently in Aidgate, on a beautiful site which was for merly part of the garden belonging to the residence of Lord Collingwood, one of our naval worthies. Yesterday evening, preparatory to the lecture, the fine old Town Hall, erected under the superintendence of Sir John Vasibrugh, was brilliantly lighted up for the occasion, and by eight o'clock, the hour appointed for his Lordship's arrival, was completely filled by an audience of nearly 300 persons, consisting of the mem bers of the Mechanics' Institute and their families and friends, including the wealthier classes and a great number of the trading and operative inhabitants of the town, all of whom were admitted by ticket. The raised bench from which his Lordship spoke was th adorned with several choice bouquets 0f votive offering s o f l a di es in the town. Shortly after eight o'clock t h e E ar l o f Carlisle, accompataiedYby his sister, Lady Elizabeth Grey, entered the ball, and their appearance was the signal for_ a round of en thusiastic cheers. The principal members of th e committee occupied seats i n the immediate vicinity of the chair. On the motion of Mr. Wenso_et,. librarian, M r . A . Ok er lt o n, the deputy-judge of the Manorial Court Leet and Court Baron in this town, was called to the chair, and briefly introduced the Earl of Carli s l e to the meeting. His LOR DSHIP then pro ceded at onc e t o rea d t h e lecture on the poetry Of Pope, which he delivered in the winter of 1850 to the members of the Mechanics' Institute at Leeds, as will be still in the recollection of our readers. To numbers, however, of the present au dience the subject had all the freshness of novelty, to others, who had previously perused it in print at the time of its first delivery, the interval that had since elapsed was sufficiently long to reinvest its se cond reading with considerable interest; but the pleasure and the charm of listening to it from the lips of its amiable and accomplished author were on this occasion new alike to all. The thorough ac quaintance with his theme which the Noble Lord ex hibited throughout, his nice and delicate criticism, his profuse but still judicious selections from the writings of the great author whose merits he was expounding, and the unaffected warmth and feeling of his elocu tion, kept the interest and attention of his auditory on the stretch for nearly a couple of hours, while the in teresting quotations which he gave in illustration of his subject moved them ostensibly to admiration, to laughter, and to tears. The lecture was frequently interrupted by the plaudits of the company, and on its conclusion, which was loudly cheered, _ . The Rev. W. AYRE rose on behalf of the com mittee, and, addressing the meeting, said he had been requested to propose a vote of thanks to the Noble Lord for his kindness in reading to them the lecture to which they had listened with such d , ;,light and sa tisfaction.—(Cheers.) Mr. CLEMITSON having seconded the motion, it was carried by acclamation. The Earl d CARLISLE then rose and said—Ladies and Gentlemen, you must allow me, in a few words, to express my very deep sen se o f th e honour I have just received at your bands, in the first place to the mover and seconder of the late resolution which they have so considerately brought forward and so very kindly as regards myself, and to yourselves for the prompt and cordial manner in which you have re ceived what they proposed. I assure you, when I found that it would be acceptable to the members of the Morpeth Mechanics' Institute and their friends to hear me read a lecoare, I felt quite justified in em bracing the opportunity which a short visit to this town put in my power to comply with a request so obligingly made.—(Cheers.) I felt also there was something not wholly ioappropriate in a lecture which had been read for the first time among those who witnessed the close of my political life —my old constituents of the West Riding of Yorkshire—being repeated among those who witnessed the commence ment of soy political life, my first constituents in the ancient borough of Morpeth.—(Loud cheers.) With reference to the lecture itself which I have had the honour of reading to you, it has been once or twice said to me," Do you think that the audiences you assemble to hear your lectures would be likely to relish a lecture on the poetry of Pope ; and might it not be better to compose a lecture which more directly tended to pro- mete the cause of moral improvement ?" Now, with respect to this matter, I have only to say—first, with regard to any want o f sympat h y i n my audiences, 1 always feel inclined to believe that where there is the real fe presence of beauty or delicacy, or fne and high Tesponsi ve chord in it is always sure to strike a ril ell human bosonas—(Cheere)— and if I wanted assurance corroborated on this point, I em cert a i n y l tive and intelligent shouldhearintz find it in the very atten my lecture this evening. With you have given to . reference to the other point, as to the r absence o any direct mo ral utility in the topic I have to works Of chosen,fa_e I certainly do mot wish to assign tions of poetry any higher pl,o u s y u c l ar the composi occupy.

I; is with these feelings that I have felt no reluctance to ask you for a little while to indulge in 1 ,29 more light and graceful objects of pursuit, not wishin g to place them above those of real import ance, but thinking it would bnot ri 3 wholly inappro- P Ite to diversify the daily „ yes. humdrum occupations of our (Renewed with a little fancy and a little poetry.— alway, Iv l ish e e h d eers.)

The proceedings, which were of the most interest ing and harmonious character throughout, then ter minated, and the company then left the hail. Lady Peel and family have arrived at Galway upon t tour of the wept country, THE SUN, FRANCE. The General of Division Letting, President of the Committee of Cavalry at the War-offize, has left Paris on a mission to Hungary, where he is to assist at the grand military manceavres which are to be executed in the neighbourhood of Comorn by a por tion of the Austrian army, commanded, it is said, by the Emperor in person. The Imperial review, which is to inaugurate the military operations, is to take place on the 14th inst. Colonel Caillier, of the Staff, and another staff-officer, aide-de-camp of the Minister of War, are also to be present at these man ceuvres. The French merchantman Uruguay entered Havre on Thursday night, bringing accounts from Monte Video of the 21st July. The British steamer Vixen had arrived there, having on board Sir Charles Hotham, Envoy Extraordinary of Great Britain, sent on a special mission to the River Plate. The Cheva lier de St. George, the French Envoy, who had reached Rio Janeiro, was hourly expected. DENM ARK. Our Hamburgh correspondence contains accounts from Copenhagen of the Bth init. The Danish Industrial Exhibition has been closed. Messrs. Peto, Ricardo, Althrop, and Andrews, who are travelling in Denmark on business con. nected with the railways of that State, have had the honour of an audience from the King. The Royal Family of Sweden have arrived at Hamburgh. The Copenhagen papers state that the work of razing the fortifications of Rendsburg will be begun on the 17th. The War Department has ordered 500 men to be employed for the purpose. The expense of the work will, it is supposed, be covered by the sale of the materials. BELGIUM. The Debats has the following on the commerce of Belgium : ~ W e consider it important to frequently examine the state of commerce in Belgium, to which the negotia tions which France has entered into with that country give a particular interest Belgian commerce appears to have hitherto profited largely by the marked commercial revival which almost everywhere has characterised 1852. The monthly tables published by the Belgian Govern ment show that the exports of coals, machinery, linen threads and cloths, plate and window glass, and cotton stuffs had much increased up to the Ist of August last. In coals the augmentation has been 125,000 tons, and that altogether in imports into France; in linen threads the difference is upwards of 238 kilogs., the greater part of which has also been sent to France; in linen-cloths the increase is upwards of 60 per cent., and also bears mostly on our purchases. Pig-iron has in creased but little, and wrought iron and small castings, particularly nails, show a diminution, which seems to prove that the competition of Germany is increasing. The exportation of zinc in masses has also fallen off, but sheet-zinc has considerably increased, England, where building is going on at present to a great ex tent, taking a large quantity. The exportation of books has not much varied. Belgian imports have na turally felt the effect of this acceleration of sales. In place, for instance, of 6,548,000 kilogs. of raw cotton, Belgian manufactures had consumed up to the Ist of August, 13,189,000, or nearly double; in raw hides the increase had been from 639,000 to 985,000. The amount of corn gives a fair idea of the extraordinary wants of Belgium; the quantity of wheat has risen from 269,000 to 600,000. The same is the case for all articles of consumption, such as coffee, coarse sugar, tobacco, salt, all of which show a large increase; hut it is English salt which this year has had the advantage over ours, the imports of which has notably decreased. Salt is one of the articles mentioned in the treaty, the renewal of which is now proposed, and it is annoying to remark that o ur wi nes , woollen-threads, silk-tissues, and woollen and cotton cloths, which are in the same case, have not gained, but have even lost. Such is the case with the com• merce, properly so called, of Belgium. Now, if we examine the state of her transit, which her position, her railway from the Rhine to the sea, and her canals tend to render so important for France, we shall find that it has also considerably increased. By the Belgian-Rhenan Railway alone the transport from the east to the west, that is, from Antwerp to the Rhine, was during the last three months 15,992 tons, in the place of 9,229, or an augmentation of 73 per cent. The movement of corn towards Northern Germany, the wants of which have been exceptional, counts no doubt for much in this increase; but the greatest part of the prin cipal manufacturing matters have participated in this improvement. The same has not been exactly the case for the transit from the west to the east, that is from Cologne towards Antwerp, which has slightly fallen off. But that is one of the coneequeaces of the extraordinary amount of corn which Germany has on this occasion caused to be brought to herself in place of sending it, as usual, to England. The boats on the Rhine are also mak ing, and not without some success, grand efforts to turn aside to the profit of the passage down the Rhine a part of the Belgian transit. However that may be, that of Prussia by Belgium in manufactured produce appears as yet not to have lost anything of its habitual importance. From all that precedes, it may be concluded that the commercial affairs of Belgium are at present in an excel lent position, and in what regards our relations, that country has sensibly increased the opening which it finds in our consumption." --___ soy eMERSETSHIRE CENTRAL RAILWAY. A public meeting of landowners and others, resi dent in the neighbourhood of Wells, was held on Friday afternoon, at the Town Hall, in that city, for the purpose of taking steps to promote the formation of a railway for central Somersetsbire, for the making of which an Act of Parliament has already been ob tained, and for which the support of many influential parties is fully expected. Among the gentl e men who attended on the occas i on were 'lCastle and \V. Watson, Esqrs , directors of the Bristol and Exeter Rail way, E. F. Gregory, Esq., G . C.E., Capt. Seymour, Mayor of Wells, Cipt. Giles G. baron Northcote, Es(' , E. Sanders, E sq., G , Warry, Esq , Thomas lforchporcb, Esq., T. H. Roach, Lg., Toogood, Esq., Robert Davies, Esq., the town c i e rk e f W e lls, &c. G. B. NORTRCOTE, Esq., having been called upon to preside, said the present was a bond fide attempt to supply the city of Wells with railway accommoda tion, and looking at it as sensible and practical men, the question with them should be not so much, was it the best possible line which could be constructed ? but, was it not the only line which there was any chance of their getting ? Having secured by pur chase the canal between Highbridge and Glaston bury, having obtained an Act of Parliament, and having fulfilled all the preliminary requirements, the directors of the Somersetshire Central Railway were of opinion that they were only paying the inhabi tants of 'Wells a proper compliment, and, at the same time were not asking more than might be fairly ex pected of them, when they came among them to ask them for assistance in carrying out the under taking successfully to completion. The sum of 10,000/ more was required for the purpose, and surely the citizens of Wells would find no difficulty in subscribing for the whole, or at any rate for a con siderable porion of that amount.—(Hear.) About 500 shares only remained to be taken, and those would be issued in such a manner that if the line.. was n o t comp l ete d t h ere wou ld no t b e any Habi -1 lily attaching t o th e holders. As soon as those sh ares were‘.subscribed f or h e m i g ht ven t ure t o p rom i se them hat not a month, or even a fortnight, would be enter at tha o t t, al lowedv,outlodenlapse before the works were commenced. to the advantatirne It .he presumed, be necessary for him to public generally of the upon any general observations as all, and be would their attention to of fact which would be the line to the county and to the therefore must be sufficiently obvious to content himself by asking observations upon matters e th a en dd b r r e o s u se g d h to them by Mr. 1 Clark. Mr. Claws eremite before h the meet ingich had been some elaborate statistic a l t a bl e t s which it appeared that when prepared to show the probable traffic' which e:rEt,:ntphleeteldineit, would yield a return to the shareholders and from capital invested of 81. 18s. 6d. per cent. rri i l i e pon the lations, Mr. Clark said, had been . calcu made With utmost care and with adesire . not to overrate the thing, that if gentlemen would • a thing, and he could be difficultyl " te them there vestige in obtaining not only the capital required to co mplete but sufficient also to carry it the line to Highbridge, on to the city of Wells. Mr. WILMOT Inquired whether the directors had informed them s elves of the probable cost of carrying on the undertaking to Wells ? Mr. GREGOR Y , engineer, said the amount estimated was 35,000/. or 40,0001. Mr. DAVIE S s a id h e was not at all hostile to the undertaking, but he was desirous of securing the advantage of railway accommodation for Wells, and therefore he would recommend the citizens to make terms with the directors for the completion of the line to the city before they at all pledged themselves to its support. The citizens of Wells were not indis posed to exert themselves for the attainment of so desirable an object, but they had been promised so many lines, and had been so often disappointed, that they had become to some extent supine. It would seem, from the statements which had been made, that 10,000/. on l y was required to complete the railway to Ri ghbridge, and that a furth er sum o f 35 ,000 / . or 40,0001, i would bring it on to Wells. Now he be- to I eyed th a t if the directors were pledged t o come on Wells there would be much less difficulty in raising the necessary amount than they would find in ''rai!ing even the 10,000/, to finish the line Highbridge y to only. Let them at once go to Parliament and pro cure powers to continue the line to Wells, and be believed that the citizens and owners of property would well second them requisite capital. If, on the contrary,that with the d he feared that there would be little disposition to to " assist. Mr. MY. EDMUND DAVIES concurred in the views of the previous speaker, and said there ought to have been a meeting of the citizens of Wells convened by themselves a determine as to the degree of support they would give the undertaking. Mr. CAULE, 45 representing the Br istol and Exeter LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14 1852 railway at the board of the Central Somer. ranee that the strongest desire was felt by th e b oar d s w ir a e y ßailway, said he could give a di s ti nc t assu rance that the line should, as advocated by the gentleman who had just sat down, be continued t o th e c i ty o f W e ll s . The question was one of pounds, shillings, and pence, and as soon as the necessary amount was subscribed for completing the present undertaking, it would be for the interest of the undertaking as well as of the public to carry on the li ne o f ra il way to t h e ancient and interesting city of Wells. If the line were carried out, there could be no doubt that a large harbour and docks would b s constructed at High bridge, if which were done immense advantages must necessarily accrue to both Glastonbury and Wells. He had himself, although a citizen of Bristol, declined to join in a proposition for making docks at Porter bead because he believed that Highbridge presented more favourable features, and was more advanta geously situated for the accommodation of ocean going steamers, and was already possessed of a good line of railway. He did hope, therefore, that the gentlemen of Wells would regard their town interests and would p u t t h e i r shoulders to the w b eel and ass i st in the formation of the line to Glastonbury. Let them do this, and they might rest assured that the strong bona fide desire of the directors to carry on the works to %%Tells would be carried into effect, and that city and district be supplied with railway ac commodation. In reply to a question it was stated that the company could not borrow money till all its capital was subscribed. Mr. R. DAvls wished to know if the Bristol and Exeter Company would assist in carrying the line to Wells ?: Mr. CASTLE had no doubt that they would do so. It should be remembered too, that Captain Denham, who was engaged by Government to survey the Bristol Channel, had reported in favour of High bridge as a packet port. Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting. The CHAIRMAN announced his attention of in creasing his interest in the undertaking. Various persons present then subscribed for shares, and the meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. LAUNCH OF THE PRIMERO SPANISH WAR STEAMER. The Spanish Government having decided to employ two new steam-vessels of light draught water, and each to carry two 32-pounder guns for the purpose of adding to their squadron for the protection of Cuba and their possessions in the West Indies, the first of these vessels was launched on Saturday last from the building-yard of Mr. Thompson, at Rotherhithe, her constructor. At a quarter before twelve Miss Nonaria Marter performed the ceremony of christening by sprinkling the contents of a bottle of wine over the bows of the steamer, and in about one minute afterwards she slowly glided into her future element amidst the cheers of the assembled spec tators. The vessel was then taken in tow by a steam tug, and brought alongside of Messrs. John Penn arid Sons' establishment at Greenwich, to be fitted with her engines of 120 horse power by that firm. The Primer() is built exactly on the same lines as the Banshee, designed by Mr. 0. W. Lang, assistant to the master shipright at Chatham Dockyard, that vessel having given great satisfaction as to her speed and other sea-going qualities when employed as a mail packet on the Holyhead station. The Banshee was also built by Mr. Thompson, and the timbers of both her and the Primero have been put together on the diagonal principle, which combines great strength with safety in case of accident to the frame of the vessel, each of the three series of planking of which she is constructed being independent, although strongly attached to each other by copper bolts. The Primero is 870 feet in length, with a breadth of beam of 20 feet, and, with all her guns, ammunition, and stores on board, will o nl y draw five feet of water, and on that account be a dmirabl y adapted for the pursuit of boat parties when attempting to land v ith hostile or privateering, intentions on any of the shallow water coasts of the Spanish possessions in the West Indies. Mr. Zuluota (the agent for the Spanish Government) and Captain Cassader (who is to command the Primero), with several Spanish gentlemen. after being present at the launch, embarked in the Sylph Woolwich steam packet, end went down with a large party on an excur sion to the Nore. The other vessel, building by Mr. Thompson for the same service, is in an advanced state, and is to be named the Secundo. OUR DINNERS• It is a vulgar Lotion that a dinner to be good must be expensive —a fatal mistake, preventive of much social enjoyment. To say nothing of those " Who think less of good eating than the whisper, When seated near them of some pretty lisper," nino•tenths of the recipients of a grand state dinner, formal and costly, would infinitely prefer a fish, a joint, and a bird, with freedom and good talk. " Boys, 'tis little I care to dine Where the host is vain and the guests are fine, Where the wines are warm and the dishes cold, And the mutton is young and the spinters old." Some of the most delightful dinners in memory have been the simples6—all wit, fun, and good sense, with merely "flashes of silence." " Cheerful looks make., every dish a feast," The very essence of a dinner is ab9ence of ceremony. Half the dinners that one goes to, offer but dry leaves instead of fhwers: they are but mockeries of enjoyments, waste of hours, through fear of tyrant Custom and desire to be thought " genteel." Mr. Walker, of " The Original," truly says, " Anybody can dine, but very few know how to dine so as to insure the greatest amount of health and enjoyment." Those who will help society to this knowledge, strangle foolish forms, and substitute for wasteful expenditure good taste, good sense, and good humour, should be regarded as its benefee:ora.—Builder.

DEAD BODY FOUND BY A Dna.—On Saturday in formation was received, that on Friday, as a man, named East, was proceeding from West Ham to Stratford, in passing over Forest-hill, his dog made its way into a field, and corn. menced h o wling most piteously, refusing to follow its master. On East proceeding to ascertain what attracted the animal, he found the dead body of a man extended on and completely hid behind the high grass. Information was given at the ii police-station, and the body was removed to the West Ham Union. It is that of a man about GO, clad in a light shoot ing coat, grey vest, and black trousers.

GAROTTE ROBLIERY.— Charles Coughlan, 25, a tall, powerful looking man, was indicted for having stolen a watch, the property of Charles hut, from his person. M r . Payne appeared for the prisoner. It appeared that on the evening of Sunday, the 22d of August, the prosecutor, a steam-boat engineer, was drinking with some friends, amongst whom was the prisoner's father, at a public-house called the Sa lisbury Arms, at Limehouse. During the time they were together the prisoner joined them and asked his father for some money, which he refused to give, and the prosecutor treated the prisoner to some beer. Soon afterwards they went to another public-house called the Cape of Good Hope, and had some more drink ; but the pro secutor was so i ntox i cate d w hil e at the Salisbury Arms that he recollected nothing that occurred after going into the second house until the following morning, when he found that he had been robbed, and that his limbs were stiff and sore. In addition to thin his tongue felt as if it had been bit ten, and there was a considerable degree of soreness about his chin and throat. A carpenter named Re naldeon, living in D u ff- street, Li mehouse, was cros i ng Abbott's-flelde, which are distant about a quarter of a mile from the Cape of Good Hope public-house, about 6 on the evening n in te ground,ghinciues question, in a state of , parently when he saw the prosecu tot. ;g help less intoxication, and th e p r i soner k nee li ng by hi s side. On his coming up t o th e m th e p r i sone r move d away, and he then saw that the prosecutor was black in the his to ngue protru d e d , an d hi s h ea d was resting fe'gaocnhis right shoulder, and on stooping down to ascertain what really was the matter with him, he found that a handkerchief and a brace were twisted as as possibl e roun d hi s nec k, an d th a t i n f ac t the tig em h a t u ly was in a state of strangulation. Fearing that he would be suffocated, Ronaldson knelt down and endeavoured to loosen the handkerchief and brace; but he hal great difficulty in doing so, as one of his thumbs had been injured, so he managed as well as be could with one hand and using his teeth. Ob serving that the prisoner was about to go away Ro naldson asked him to stop a few minutes, so that they might see what was the matter with the man, and in quired whether he knew him? He answered that he did, and when asked if he knew where he lived he said at " Blackwell." After a moment's consideration he said, "No, its Bow-common," and then went on to say that h e was a f ore i gner, an d h av i ng h a d a quarre l with his wif e, he had come out to drown himself, but bad instead been drinking. Ronaldson then expressed some doubt as to whether he knew him at all, and remarked that it was a strange place for a man to go to drown himself; and having by that time removed the handkerchief and brace from the prose cutor's throat, he asked the prisoner to lend him a hand in getting him up. To that the prisoner replied that he bad already carried him far enough, and should carry him no further, and walked away to a fence for a particular purpose, as Ronaldson thought, but in reality to conceal the prosecutor's watch, for shortly afterwards it was found close to where he had stood by a labouring man, named Waters, who handed it to the police. He was seen to secrete the watch by that individual and a boy ; and on his person was found some money which appeared to have been in the prosecutor's possession, for it was covered with whiting —a quantity of which was contained in his pockets. A policeman having arrived at the spot, and heard from Ronaldson what he had observed, he went to the prisoner and took him into custody. On the way to the s t a ti on , h e sa id, " What h ave y o u go t me for ?" The officer replied, " I'll tell you at the sta tion ;" and then the prisoner said, with an oath, " You are wrong, as wrong as ever you were right. I've not got it." " Got what ?" asked the officer; but the prisoner returned no answer. The prosecutor remained insensible and apparently lifelees for half an hour afterwards. Mr. PAYNE addressed the jury. Mr. WITHAM was about to sum up, when The Foreman said they were satisfied. They found the prisoner Guilty of robbery, with violence. A previous conviction was proved. Mr. WITHA M said the utmost severity would be resorted to in all cases where this horrible system of Thuggism was practised. The sentence was that the prisoner be transported beyond the seas for the term of fifteen years. The prosecutor appealed for mercy, on account of the prisoner's aged parents. Mr. WITHA M said he could not listen to that ap peal, which was creditable to the prosecutor. A man who tried to strangle another, for the purpose of plunder, could not be mercifully dealt with. William Calder, 18, pleaded guilty to having stolen eleven pieces of calico, value 1/. 7s. 6d., the property of Walter Rowsell. He was shown to be an old offender, and Mr. Witham sentenced him to be trans ported for seven years. SECOND COURT.—(Before Mr. TURNER.) William Murry, 21, and Frederick Poole, 21, were indicted for having stolen a gold watch, value 161., from the person of John Cottrell. The prosecutor stated that he is a brass-founder, residing in Banner-street, St. Luke's, and on the evening of the 30th of August, about seven o'clock, he alighted from an omnibus at the corner of Bath-street, in the City-road, where a large crowd was assembled to witness the ascent of a balloon from the Eagle Tavern. He attempted to make his way through the crowd, but he was immediately surrounded by several persons, and near him he noticed the prisoner Murry. A minute had scarcely elapsed when he felt a pull at his guard chain, and on casting his eyes towards his waistcoat pocket, he saw his watch, which had been separated from the guard, in Murry'a hand, with which he immediately escaped. IVith some difficulty prosecutor at length got out of the crowd, and went to the s tation-house, for the purpose of giving infor mation 0f the he a b here he found the prisoner Murry already i n t he Hit e watchi stody of Evans, the officer. enfied. w prod uce d, w hi c h he at once His watch, whi c h was wort h 161., h e was sure was safe in his possession when he entered the crowd. t Thomas Evans, police rs° thereb ery Where -constable, said, on the even ing in question he was on duty in the City-road, where a crowd w as assembled for the purpose of watching the as cent of a balloon. He saw both the prisoners go into the crowd, and afterwaada they hurriedly came out of it together. Soon after he heard that a gentleman had been robbed of his watch, upon which be immediately followed the prisoners. At some distance from the place he stopped Murry, and asked him if he had got any thing about him, and he replied that he had not, but not being satisfied he took hold of him, and found the watch produced in his waistcoat pocket. lie was sure the other pri soner went into the crowd with Murry. He took Poole iuto custody two days, afterwards, telling him that he was c harged with another man with stealing a watch, when he at first said he knew nothing about it, but afterwards on his way to the station-house he said that he hoped witness would be as light with him as he could. William Kinnerley gave corroborative evidence of the two prisoners and another pers on surroundiog th e prosecu t o r, and saw_ his watch s na t c h e d from hi m . Both prisoners denied the robbery. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Evidence wa s then given of a former conviction a t the Old B a il ey , an d b o th the ' against Murry pri soners were recognised as well-known thieves. Mr. TURNER said they were evidently hardened thieves, and sentenced each of them to be transported for ten years. alias Jeremia h M'Grath John Rogers ,4o , and Eliza Williams, 21, were indicted for having stolen moneys of W oo lf Pleinser, f r om his sovereigns, the TOM a second incl . his person.

Shortly afterwards she unlocked the door and called out, w h e n two men entered the ro om , one of them being the prisoner. Without the sli g h test provocation he struck t he prosecutor a viole n t bl ow in female put her hand into his pocket, the face, when the it to the rison took out his purse, and Cave bbe r , cried p out out" Wit ness,Murder on discovering the r obbery, Murder !" when y the prison as lustily as he could, e r Rogers put his hand over his mouth. Theymou subsequently took hold o f him and threw him into the yard, anti him to a cellar, veher afterwards they carriede they left him. After the lapse of some considerable time he got out, an d ma d e his way back to the room from which he had been so summarily ejected, but found no person there. He thereupon raised the cry of " Murder" an d " Police," w hen the priso ners and the other man came into the room, and, after beating him, they thrust him into the street. He then in formed a policeman of the treatment be had received, and the woman was taken into custody the same night. On the day he appeared against her at the police-office he was taken to the cell where R ogers and five or six other persons were in custody, w h en he immediately recognised him, and pointed him out to the gaolers. He would have known him again amongst five hundred, and he could safely say that he is the same man who received the purse from Wil liams, and the same man who assisted in putting him info the yard and cellar. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against both the prisoners. The male prisoner was then arraigned, charged wi'h having stolen a silver watch, value 505., the pro perty of Samuel Smith, from his person. From the evidence of the prosecutor, a printer, residing at Kingsland, it appeared that on the night of the 21st ult. he was in Shoreditch on his way home, when he was surrounded by several men, and th ey , pushed him up againat the wall. The prisoner was one of the men by whom he was eurtowaded, who put his arm round prosecutor's waist, and took his watch out of his right hand pocket. Finding tile attempt was robbery, he caught the prisoner's arm, he having at the time the watch in his hand, and held him by the neckcloth for a long time. Prisoner then struck the prosecutor a violent blow, which compelled him to loosen his hold, when he started " off like a race. horse ;" but he was followed, and at length cap tured, and handed over to a police-constable, but nothing was found upon him. John Wilkinson proved that he was passing along Shoreditch on the night in question, and saw the prosecutor struggling together, and while this was going on he observed a silver watch fall from the dress of the prisoner. He followed is pursuit, and never lost sight of the prisoner until he was taken into custody. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery, and said that he had a tobacco-box in the form of a watch, which bad led to the belief that the watch was in his possession. The jury found him Guilty. Mr. TURNEB sentenced him to be transported for ten years, and ordered the other prisoner to be re manded until the next session for inquiries to be made. It appeared that Sergeant Tolley, 4 H who apprehended Williams, has since then been way laid by the companions of the prisoners, and so se verely bitten by one of them in the hand that he is still an inmate of St. Thomas's Hospital. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Sambo Embo and Josh Tooferman, a couple of Lascar seamen, were charged with obtaining money under false pretences. John James Roe, an alehouse keeper, of 47, Fetter lane, stated that the prisoners came to him on Thurs day last, and represented that they had left their ship at Liverpool, and came to London by rail, by which means they had missed the gentleman who held their papers, and they had therefore neither money nor luggage. He gave them is. each to get a lodging with, and Sambo then called him aside, and, kissing his hand in gratitude for the money, said he had a young Scotch wife and two piccaninies in Australia, where he had come from, and a large house and plenty of money. He said he had deposited a quantity of gold dust in the Bank of England, and that he should have plenty of money on the following day. He also said he had letters from gentlemen in Australia, authorising him to pay large sums of money, with which he had been entrusted, in Lon don. To confirm the truth of this statement he showed prosecutor a slip of paper containing the words "Bullion-office, Bank of England." Upon these representations he advanced them 284., and sup plied them with food—a fish dinner on Friday, be cause they were Catholics, and on Saturday they ordered a sucking pig. Oa making inquiries prose cutor found that they had not left any gold at the Bank, and so far from having arrived at Liverpool as passengers, they came from a ship in the London Docks, where Sambo was the ship's cook, and Josh one of the crew of another ship. Alderman SIDNEY—How came you to lend them money without knowing anything of them ? Prose cutor--I saw a person of the name of Sergeant in their company, and he told me that it was all right. In addition to which Sambo turned up the whites of his eyes so imploringly that I could not doubt his sincerity. Alderman SIDNEY—Did you trust him, then, on the strength of the whites of his eyes only ?-- (Laughter.) Prosecutor—No, Sir, but he shed tears also. _ Alderman SIDNEY—I have frequently examined a man's face well before I trusted him, but I never placed much reliance upon the whites of any one's eyes.—(Laughter.) Several other witnesses were then called, and the the prisoners were remanded for further inquiry. WESTMINSTER. It having been communicated to the whole of the parties concerned that Mr. Arnold intended to give his decision yesterday in the case of ballooning with ponies, which was detailed at length in our im pression of Wednesday last, they attended to bear his judgment. Mr. ARNOLD said—Five summonses came on for hearing on Tuesday last against M. and Madame Poitevin, for having cruelly ill-treated, abused, and tortured two horses, and against Mr Simpson for causing them to be so ill-treated, abused, and tor tured. It was agreed that one case only should be heard—'.hat against Mr. Simpson, fcr an offence al leged to have been committed on the 23d, and that the result of one case should determine the whole. It is not necessary to recapitulate the whole of the evidence; but it appeared that on that occasion a balloon ascent took place from Cremorne-gardens, when a pony having been attached by slings to the car of the balloon it ascended with M. Poitevin on its back, dancing during its ascent. Mr. Simp son was present at, and superiutended the ascent. It was alleged that the manner in which the animal was attached on slings to the bal loon was such as necessarily to inflict great pain, and it was proved by a witness who was present when the balloon descended at Wimbledon that the horse was very hot, and that perspiration was dripping down its shoulders; and he further stated that its eyes appeared very wild, like those of a horse who had run away, but that it stood perfectly quiet, and was afterwards ridden away by a gentleman. In reply to the charge, it was contended for the defence, that there was no cruelty, either positive or constructive, practised upon the animal, that there was no pain inflicted upon it, and that it suffered in no way from fear or terror ; that animals, and horses in particular, were constantly slung or suspended in a less scientific manner than on the present occasion for surgical purposes, or with the object of putting them on board ship. It was proved by M. Poitevin that before animals were taken up ex periments had been made in France before a commis sion of scientific gentlemen, when a horse had been suspended from 15 to 20 hours, and that he took his food during the time he was so suspended ; and he further stated that he had ascended with the identical horso 150 times, and that it never exhibited any agita tion, either while being attached to the balloon, during its ascent, or after its descent, but, on the contrary, that if the balloon happened to descend in a field the animal immediately began to graze, and that it never appeared to suffer on any occasion except once, when it bled slightly from the n o s e, owing to the balloon having attained an u nusua lly great altitude. I may say in the outs e t th a t I mus t reject all these argu ments drawn from th e f a ct of slinging ani m a ls either for surgi ca l purposes or for being put on board shi p . In the for mer case t h e an imal is slung for the purpose o f relieving it from pain, or of p reventin g it from in juring itself ; even if pain is inflicted, it is done with a view of preventing greater pain. In the other case, when a horse is put on board ship, whatever is done is done for what may fairly be termed the legitimate use of the animal, to transport it from one place to another, for the use of man. On such occasions no humane persons would inflict any unnecessary or su perfluous pain. But there is a wide and obvious dis tinction between inflicting pain on such occasions, where it may be necessary to do so, and doing it without necessity, and for the purpose only of an exhibition with the object of making money. All arguments, therefore, deduced from such facts are wholly beside the present question. It certainly appears from the evidence that the mode of sling ing adopted by M. Poitevin is superior to that ordi narily employed, and that every endeavour is made to avoid giving pain to the animal ; but the question is, was there in fact any pain inflicted on the horse, or was it placed under the influence of terror on the day mentioned in the summons, the 23d of August. No other act of cruelty committed, if at all, at other times, or connected with the training of the horse, would have been admissible upon this charge, nor were any in point of fact tendered in evidence. Upon the question of pain there were contradictory and con flicting opinions. One veterinary surgeon said that from the manner in which the horse was suspended it must have suffered greatly, and have been severely injured; two others gave it as their opinion that the animal could not have suffered the least; and as suredly the facts in the case bore out this latter opinion, as after 150 ascents the horse is in perfect health and condition. As to the influence of fear, the evidence is more doubtful. The sweat and the wildness of the horse, spoken to by one witness would seem to show that he was under the influence of great nervous excitement; but the wildness was not noticed by another witness who saw the descent, and the sweat seems to be explained by the fact stated, that it was an unusually close evening, one of the witnesses, a veterinary surgeon, stating that on that evening several horses in his stable had broken into a sweat without any other cause that the sultri ness of the weather. I am bound to say, therefore, that it does not appear to me that the animal suffered from either fear or pain on this occasion. I su gg ested, indeed, a t the close of the case, whether the placing an animal, without any paramou nt necessit y , in a situation of risk, where, in case of accident, it could no t assist its e lf, was not an act of cruelt y . To thi s it was answered—first, that it was analagous to the slinging bcxes of cn horses railways alreadyfic a rgument m entioned, consider or I hav e placing them in already disposed of ; and secondly , t h at it could not be cruelty if no accident happened. But this is founded upon a misapprehension of the point sug gested ; for the question is, whether the p u tti ng an animal to the risk of an accident is not an act of cruelty ? I have no doubt myself but that such an act is one of the most wanton cruelty, but I must also say that I do not think it is such an act of cruelty as is within the intention of the Act of Parliament. The words of the Act are, " If any person shall cruelly best, ill-treat, overd-rive, abuse, or torture any animal," he shall be liable to a certain penalty ; and these words, I think, contemplate acts of cruelty of a different character from the one I have just mentioned. I can not, however, refrain from expressing my opinion, an ( opinion that would be of little value if it were not, P I believe it to be, that of all refLcting men, that such exhibition; as the one undue disc:wion are highly in. expedient, and any thing but creditable either to those who for the sake of lucre make them public, or to those who find pleasure in witnessing them. Tnere cannot but be great risk attending them without any corresponding good resulting from them, and it is not creditable to any party to seek either profit or pleasure from exhibitions attended with such risk. Numbers of persons would also feel alarm and dis tress of mind at hearing or reading of such perilous risks, even though they may not witness them; and for that reason, also, they ought not to be counte nanced. But however repreh,nsible I may consider such proceedings, I am bound to deal with this ques tion upon other considerations. lam bound to deal with it according to law, and the evidence adduced before me, not to travel out of the facts that have been proved, to interpret the law strictly and impar tially as I am best able to understand it, and to decide whether in my opinion the defendants have committed the offence with which they are charged. I have come, not, I will own without reluctance, to the con clusion that they have nut, and the summonses must therefore be dismissed. " THE GREAT UNP TYRAANY. IMPORTANT TO PUBLICANS —EXTRAORDINARY PRO CEEDING.—MrS. Celle rine Hull, innkeeper, of In goldsey, was summoned before the Spittlegate (Grant ham) Bench of Magistrates on Friday last, on the information of a servant of the Rev. Jas. Ilildyard, Rector of that parish, to answer a charge of allowing disorderly conduct in her house at noon on the Ist inst. The latter gentleman declined to sit on the case, and appeared as witness in support of the informed. in. The Rev. Gentleman stated that it had been usual on the occasion of lagoldsby feast to keep the festival on the Monday and Tuesday; that he had allowed all parties to do so this year, but finding on riding through the village on Wednesday morning that the dancing booths and stalls were not removed, ho ordered them to pack up and quit the village forthwith. On proceed ing past defendant's house be heard singing, and noises as of persons stamping with their feet and nesting with their hands on the table, &c. Eutering the house he found fifteen or sixteen persons, who appeared to be drunk and very noisy and disorderly. It was then ten minutes past twelve at noun, and he directed d-fendant to clear her house, informing her that if she did so im mediately be would not issue a summons against her; but as it was two hours before the house was cleared, he • caused a summons to be served upon her by William Pehmer, tee constable. The latter stated that he accompanied Mr. LI. to the house ; that there were one or two persons tipsy, and that there were five or six persons—perhaps there mieht be six or seven—pretest. Mrs. Hall said she had been an innkeeper for more than twenty years, ano that was the first time an information had been laid against her house; that the only person making a noise or singing was a fiddler whom Mr. H. had driven from the dancing booth, and who bad taken refuge there; thst she was not aware her licence required h r to close her house in the middle of the day; that the reason she had not obeyed in clearing it was because her company WAS respectable, no labouring men being among them and also because Mr. Houghton, a most respectable farmer, of Seisby, who seldom omitted calling on a Wednesday morning to read Bell's Weekly Messenger, had entered the house just previous to Mr. H. calling, and said he had come to spend a quiet halt' hour and would not be interrupted by Mr. 1111d yard or any other person. Mrs. Hall added that Mr. Houghton was present in court to answer for himself - , and also as to the character and respecta bility of hereolf and her house. Their Worships said they did not deem it necessary to call Mr. Houghton: she had committed au offence against the terms of her licence, but they would not this time convict. Defen dant was therefore reprimanded, and ordered to pay 10s. 6d. costa !—[We have received three communica tions relative to this strange roceeding against a woman who is said to bear a character of the highest respecta bility—one of them expressing a hope that the matter will not be allowed to drop without further inquiry, and another stating that. the presiding magistrates (Messrs. Otley, Turner, and Brown) considered the case so paltry that they at once dismissed it; if the latter assertion be correct, on what geound was Mrs. Hall called upon to pay costs?] —Stamford Mercury.
