oatmeal, is their food. It is true, there are small trouts, or something like them, in some of the little rivers, which continue in holes among the rockswhich are always full of water when the stream has quite ceased for want of rain; these might be a help to them in this starving season ; but I have had so littla notion in all my journeys that they made those fish a part of their diet, that I never once thought of them as such till this moment. It is likely they cannot catch them for want of proper tackle, but I am sure they cannot be without them for want of leisure. What may seem strange is, that they do not Introduce roots among them (as potatoes, for the pur pose) ; but the land they occupy is so very little, they think they cannot spare any part of it from their corn, and the landlord's demand of rent in kind is another ob jection. You will perceive lam speaking only of the poor people in the interior parts of the mountains ; for near the coast, all around them, there are few confined to such diminutive farms, and the most necessitous of all may share, upon occasion, the benefit of various kinds of shell-fish, only for seeking and fetching. " Their cattle are much weakened by want of sufficient food in the preceding winter, and this immoderate bleed ing reduces them to so low a plight that in the morning they cannot rise from the ground, and several of the inhabitants join together to help up each other's cows, &c. " In summer the people remove to the hills, and dwell in much worse huts than those they leave below ; these are near the spots of grazing, and are called shealings, scattered from one another as occasion requires. Every one has his particular space of pasture, for which, if it be not a part of his farm, he pays. " When the grazing fails, the Highlanders return to their former habitations, and the cattle to pick up their sustenance among the heath as before. At other times the children share the milk with the calves, lambs, and kids; for they milk the dams of them all, which keeps their young so lean that when sold in the low-country they are chiefly used, as they tell me, to make soups withal; and when a side of one of these kinds hangs up in our market of Inverness the least disagreeable sight is the trasparency of the ribs. " About the latter end of August, or the beginning of September, the cattle are brought into good order by their summer feed, and the beef is extremely sweet and succulent, which, I suppose, is owing, in good part, to their being reduced to such poverty in the spring, and made up again with new flesh. Now, the drovers col lect their herds, and drive them to fairs and markets on the borders of the Lowlands, and sometimes to the north of England ; and in their passage they pay a cer tain tribute, proportionable to the number of cattle, to the owner of the territory they pass through, which is in lieu of all reckoning for grazing. " But nothing is more deplorable than the state of these people in time of winter. They are in that season often confined to their glens by swollen rivers, snow, or ice in the paths on the sides of the hills, which is accu mulated by drippings from the springs above, and so by little and little, formed into knobs like a stick of sugar candy, only the parts are not angular like those, but so uneven and slippery that no foot can pass. They have no diversions to amuse them, but sit brooding in the smoke over the fire till their legs and thighs are scorched to an extraordinary degree, and many have sore eyes, and some are quite blind. This long continuance in the smoke makes them almost as black as chimney sweepers ; and when the huts are not watertight, which ' is often the case, the rain that comes through the roof and mixes with the sootiness of the inside, where all the sticks look like charcoal, falls in drops like ink." There is a touch of the fastidious Englishman—nay, of the Cockney—in this picture of the horrors of winter. Much comfort has been enjoyed in a Highland bothy even in the depth of a snow-fall or the severity of a black-frost. The little township had its occasional days of merriment and nights of festivity, when the scattered groups were collected together from the different huts, and rejoiced over the simpl e cheer of the glen, inter mixed with song and legend. The painting, however, in its general features, is too true, and it still holds good of a large portion of the crofters. " Still, they tread the same rough way, The present's still a cloudy day." THE HIGHLANDS BEFORE THE ERA OF POTATOES. (From the Inverness Courier). The most correct, and certainly the most lively and interesting account of the Highlands, prior to the re bellion of 1745, is contained in the " Letters from the North of Scotland," understood to be written by Cap tain Burt, an English officer of engineers, who was sent to Inverness in 1726, and resided here for some years as a superintendent or contractor in the formationhis regret of the military roads. This gentleman expresses that the potato had not been introduced to the north. Desirous to know the probable period of its introduction and the general condition of the people before it was known amongst them, we have his co nsulted our old towns man, John Maclean, now i n hundredth year. John was a tailor, often employed in town and country, in working for families at sixp ence a da y ; and the infor mationwhich, in his youth, he could not fail to acquire, his tenacious memory still retains. Tailors, according to Charles Lamb's humourous essay on the profession, seldom take that light and cheerful every day-interest in the affairs and goings-on of the world which makes the barber such delightful company. The country tailor, however, must be considered an exception from his sedentary brethern in the town, especially when he was wont to perform his circuit round the country-side, and gather news in hall and cottage. Like most old men, our venerable chronicler thinks the present race has sadly degenerated. The people, he says, lived much better, were healthier, and attained to a greater age in former times than they do now. Sea sons of famine and suffering no doubt sometimes oc curred, and were very severe ; but in ordinary years the people had more command of the necessaries of life, and, in their homely way, were more comfortable and contented. Potatoes, John says, were first planted and raised here about the year 1756, by " William and San ders Dawson, the gardeners." They did well in the orchard grounds, and some of the neighbours (John Maclean's father amongst the rest) began to plant a few. It was long, however, before the potato became general. "We did not plant many," said John; "it was a rare thing to have the last of them for dinner on Christmas day • and before that only one or two diets of them would fee taken in the week. They were mostly kept in a corner of the Muckle hist, and when they were done the people seemed nowise disappointed." The daily food of the common people consisted of oat meal porridge, with milk or beer, for breakfast. For dinner they had sowens (which we may inform our English friends is a sort of pudding, very palatable, made of the fine flour remaining among the seeds of oatmeal) or kail, with bannocks of barley end peasemeal, and sometimes fish. The supper was always formed of porridge and milk. On Sundays there was generally something extra ; butcher-meat was then cheap, and seldom sold by weight as it is now. The "big pot" with the broth was put on the fire in good time on Sa turday. as all manner of cooking was strictly avoided on the Sabbath. A bare or black-cock could always be had in winter. Nothing was sent out of the country but the cattle which the drovers took south. Everything was cheap. " How could it be otherwise, "said John, " when Donald Cameron and his wife, one Friday forenoon, at the market, bought a leg of mutton, a peck of meal, and a cart of peats, all for elevenpence, and to make up the shilling he and the euidwife had a gill of Hollands for the other penny." Salmon was generally plentiful in the season, and could be had at about a penny a-pound. A similar statement is made by Captain Burt, who men tions that he had often seen above a hundred large salmon taken out of the Ness at one haul. He adds— " The meanest servants, who are not at boord-wages, will not make a meal upon salmon if they can get any thing else to eat. I have been told it here, as a very good jest, that a Highland gentleman, who went to London by sea, soon after his landing, passed by a tavern where the larder appeared to the street, and operated so strongly upon his appetite that he went in—that there were among other things a rump of beef and some sal mon : of the beef he ordered a steak for himself, ' but," says !"-- ` ?et Duncan have some salmon.' To be short, the cook Ntl: , attended him humoured the jest, and the me ster's eating was eightpence, and Duncan's came to almost as many shillings." Jobe Maclean states that little or no whisky was in his early days drank by the townspeople, who preferred good ale, which they had at threepence the Scotch pint. The usquebaugh would appear. however, to have been common in the country ; for Burt mentions that some of the Highland gentlemen—the tacksmen or duinhe wassals—drank it to excess. Old John recollects dis tinctly the first time that he participated in the luxury of drinking tea. The Magistrates were much against the introduction of tea, as they derived a revenue from the sale of ale in. the burgh ; but the forbidden beve rage crept into use among the ladies, and from them descended to the common people. John was invited to a rustic party, at which a number of women were as sembled. They sat round the ingle, and handed about the tea in a wooden coy, and the " tailor laddie " on the " creepy stool " got his share of the rare drink, though he was far from relishing it. "It had a wild, harsh taste," he says, " for it was just boiled in a pot, the same as hail or other herbs ; there was not a kettle in the whole neighbourhood, excepting one that Mrs. Ogil vie had." The towns-people of that day acted strictly on the maxim of " early to bed and early to rise."

To yield 190,000 tons of iron, which is the estimated annual product of the state, requires 506,666 tons of iron ore. The largest amount of iron produced is in the counties of Northampton, Lehigh, Berks, Lancaster, York, Cum berland, Franklin, Bedford, Huntingdon, Centre, Co lumbia, Armstrong, Clarion, and Venango ' although, in other counties, a considerable quantity of this metal is yielded from furnace and forges. There are air and cupola furnaces, rolling mills, steam engine factories, nail factories, scythe and sickle factories, axe and edge tool factories, cutlery factories, factories for shovels, spades, and forks; gun factories, car, carriage, and wag gon factories, plough factories, and sheet iron factories. According to the census taken in 1840, Pennsylvania had 213 furnaces for the manufacture of pig iron and castings, which produced 100,000 tons; 169 forges, bloomeries, and rolling mills, which annually manufac tured 87,254 tons of bar, rod, sheet, and boiler iron, and nail plates. The capital invested in iron works is about eight millions, employing 12,000 persons, who, with their families, would number about 100,000. It will thus be seen that Pennsylvania possesses within itself a fund of mineral wealth nearly as great as that of the whole of Europe: which time, capital and enterprise will in all probability speedily develope. But mining operations are not confined to the state of Pennsylvania alone. Last year there were 13,000 tons of bar iron made in the state of New York,* chiefly in Essex and Clinton counties. Near Baltimore city, 20 furnaces are in operation, giving 20,000 tons per annum; and so great has been the impetus given to the iron trade, that in every direction new furnaces are being constructed. In the vicinity of Danville 40,000 or 50,000 tons of coal have illumined the hearths of the furnaces in that region last year. The Montour Iron Company have three of the largest furnaces in the country, the product of which is about 4,000 tons, each, per annum. In Massachusetts, manufactures in iron are carried on to a considerable extent, as will be seen from the follow ing abstract of a statistical statement prepared for the Legislature, showing the manufacturing position of the State in 1845 : Articles.

In other manufactures, such as lamps, stoves, balances, umbrellas, &c., the State of Massachu setts is making rapid advances. Hats and caps give work to more than 1,000 persons ; boots and shoes to 45,877 ; and many of the other branches of industry, common to all countries, in similar proportions. Glass also forms a prominent feature in their manufactures, the capital invested in this branch alone, in this State, being upwards of 700,200 dollars, employing nearly 700 hands. It may be interesting to mention here that in the United States there are 19 glass manufactories, hav ing a capital of 2,000,000 dollars, and giving employ ment to several thousand workpeople. In Virginia, valuable mines of coal and iron are found, many of which are regularly worked. The coal fields stretch over an extent of land, with short intervals, for more than thirty-five miles, and in some places the seam is upwards of forty feet in thickness. In Spottsylvania, in this state, there are seven iron mines in full operation, with the necessary furnaces, &c., and others are being erected to develope more fully the mineral treasures which lie near the surface, and are easily attainable, al though generally at some distance from the coal. There are many of the districts in the United States teeming with mineral productions, which the enterprise of the capitalist has not yet reached, but which could be readily made available. These, therefore, possess but a minor degree of interest, although ultimately, when that system of internal communication by railroad and canal, which is at the present moment being carried out by the Government, as well as by individual exertion, shall be perfected, these districts will form no insignificant rivals to their older but not more fertile competitors in the more favoured States. From all the information we can obtain, we believe the following to be nearly a correct statement of the whole product of the United States :-540 blast furnaces, yielding 486,000 tons pig iron ; 954 bloomeries, forges, rolling and slitting mills, &c., yielding 291,600 tons bar, hoop, and sheet, boiler, and other wrought iron ; 30,000 tons blooms, and 121,500 tons castings, such as machinery and stove plates, hollow wares, &e. The consumption of iron in nearly a crude state, including that imported, which on an average of five years is about 100,000 tons, approximate to 42,000,000 dollars per annum—an immense quantity, when it is remembered that the Continental manufacturers, including those of France, Russia, and Sweden, produce no more than 700,000 tons per annum. The poverty, the smoky huts, the want of cleanliness and steady industry, and the suffering of the spring season, in too many instances, yet remain. The intro duction of the potato effected no real improvement. It increased the amount of available food, but being so easily produced, it discouraged industry, and the popula tion multiplying still more rapidly, the general mass was reduced to that state in which they depended solely on potatoes for subsistence. The conversion of large tracts of land into sheep-walks also contracted the demand for labour and the means of support, so that, although above sixty thousand persons, of the crofter and cotter classes, have emigrated from the Highlands since the period of the American war, the population is still felt $o be too numerous. The remedy is—cultivate the waste lands, drain, trench, and improve, and thus create both food and labour. We have already made vast progress in render ing the land productive and the bills valuable, but we have been indifferent as to the condition of the people. Let the upper classes now bestir themselves, and make what seems a great calamity in the rural calendar of the north, a landmark from which we may date a new course of advancement. THE SUN, LONAION, TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 1, 1846 LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BEIVCII, Nov. 28. THE QUEEN V. LONG. In this case a mandamus had been obtained calling upon the defendant, one of the magistrates of Maryle bone Police-court, to issue a distress warrant on the property of a person named Bird, who is the owner of several houses in Southampton-terrace, Kentish Town, at the instance of the Kentish Town Paving Commissioners, for paving-rates of the amount of 31. 9s. 10d. The defendant, in his return to the writ, stated that Bird denied the right of the Commissioners to levy the rate, and therefore the question now came before the Court for trial on the issue. One of the houses, No. 15, projected some feet from the others, and of course pre vented the carrying of a pavement on a line with the other fourteen houses, which were railed in, the outline of the rails being on a level with the projecting house. A public footway had existed along the road for many years, which had been repaired from time to time by those who had occasion to use it. Shortly after the Commis sioners obtained their Act they laid a pavement alone the road, and immediately outside the railings. Bird denied their right to sue him, on the ground that the pavement was a portion of the carriage-way. The right of the Commissioners to leery rates for pavements constructed in accordance with their Act was clearly made out, as also was the existence of a footway; but there was a great difference of opinion as to its exact position, some saying that it was in the position where the pavement was laid, and others that Bird had enclosed it. The question for the jury to decide was, whether there was a foot-way, and if there was, whether it was distinct from the carriage-way, or merely a segregation from it —the Learned Judge telling them that, in the one case they should find for the plaintiff, and in the other for the defendant. _ _ _ the attack, Pearson was on one side of him and Smith on the other. _ The jury considered that there was a footway, and accordingly found for the plaintiff. After hearing the evidence of another witness, The, ury returned a verdict of Guilty. Previous convictions against both of them were proved, and Tke RECORDER sentenced each of the prisoners to be transported for twenty years. Elvina Cheetham, who had been tried with Elvina Bentley, her daughter, and convicted of stealing two silver candlesticks, from her master, Mr. Boughey Hep worth, after having been twenty- five years in his ser vice, was brought up for sentence, but as the prosecutor was not in attendance, it was deferred till the next sessions. _ _ This closed the business of the sessions, and the jury were dismissed with the thanks of the Court. NEW COURT. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, Nov. 30. (THIS DAY.) BREACH OF PRIVILEGE—HOWARD V. GOSSETT. The judgment in the Court of Queen's Bench, given for the plaintiff, some time since, came before their Lordships on a writ of error. Mr. PETERSDORFF was heard on behalf of the plaintiff. His arguments were not brought to a conclusion at the rising of the Court, having occupied the attention of the 1 Court during the whole of the day. BURGLARY.—WiIIiam Edwa-ds and William Baker were indicted with burglariously entering the dwelling house of Mr. Thomas Morris, in Turner-street, Bethnal green, and stealing therefrom various articles of wear ing apparel, and other property. It appeared that on Sunday, the 15th of the present month, the prosecutor and his wife went out about three o'clock P.M., leaving an elderly lady, named West. and her daughter, who were lodgers, in the house ; Mrs. West and her daughter also left shortly afterwards. On the prosecutor's return, about six o'clock, upon endeavour ing to open the door he discovered that it was bolted inside, and upon going round to the back part of the house he discovered the prisoner Baker getting over the wall and Edwards below. The property stolen was on the ground outside the wall, in a bag. The prisoner Baker was immediately taken into custody, and Ed wards was secured after a short chase. _ COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 28. CUSTOMS' FRAUDS.--ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. SCRINES. This was an information filed by the Attorney-Gene ral against the defendant, an officer in the Customs, for having participated and connived at the perpetration of a fraud on the Customs, by the falsification of a delivery order. The Attorney• General, the Solicitor General, Mr. Watson, and Mr. Wilde appeared for the Crown; Mr. Wordsworth for the defendant. Mr. Huddlestone conducted the case for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Payne and Mr. Ellis were counsel for the prisoners. The, ury found both prisoners Guilty, and Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK sentenced Edwards to ten years' transportation and Baker to seven years. The evidence brought forward in support of the case for the Crown related chiefly to the practice of passing goods upon entry, which had been pursued in the pre sent case. As concerned the warrant itself, it apFeared that a large quantity of pepper had been imported by a merchant of the name of Fennell, and that, on the 31st of July, 1845, a warrant and two duplicates were sent through the departments of the long-room of the Custom-house in the usual manner, and that in pass ing through the various stages between the warrant and the delivery, in which the defendant had been employed, his duties lay in the transaction of business between these stages. The witness set forth that 761 pounds of pepper, upon which the duty payable was at the rate of 6d. per pound, and was computed at 191. I9s. 6d., which sum was paid by the importer. The delivery order pre sented at the docks, however, contained an order for the liberation, not of 761 pounds of pepper, but of 3,761, and purported that an. amount of duty had been paid, not is the sum of 191. 195. 6d., but of 791. 19s. 6d. If the quantity of pepper had been correct, even then the duty would have come to as much as 981. 'l4s. 6d. In the register-book of the Customs' offices an alteration had been made in one of the entries relating to the quan tity of pepper, the subject of the present information. The numbers upon the dock warrant and delivery order, which should correspond to the same number in the ledgers of the office, instead of doing so, had refer ence to another vessel altogether, from Algoa Bay, the cargo of which, instead of being pepper, was goat skins. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Edward O'Brien was placed at the bar, charged with being found on the premises of Mr. Wilcox, for the pur pose of committing a felony. Thomas Wilcox, licensed victualler, Bear-street, Lei cester-square, said the lodger next door came into his house about half-past eleven o'clock on Saturday night, and said he heard the cries of some men on his premises, as if calling out for help, and he supposed he must be in complainant's chimney. Complainant got out on the leads, and looked down one of the flues, and there cer tainly he saw the man at the bar, who had evidently dropped in, with his hands helplessly extended above his head, and in that position he had sunk till he could get no further. The prisoner said he had been drinking and was tipsy, and fell into the flue. Police-constable 52 C said he went to the top of the house and took the prisoner out of the flue. He was not drunk at the time, nor did he appear to have been drinking. Police constable 27 C knew the prisoner as the asso ciate of thieves. He had been committed for two months to prison for stealing a copper. Mr. HARDWICK committed the prisoner for two months to the House of Correction, for being on the premises for an unlawful purpose. CLERKENWELL. A very respectable-looking young man, named Thomas Joyce, was charged with indecently assaulting Ellen Vinell, under the following circumstances :—The prisoner and two companions were walking along the old St. Pancras-road, when they overtook the com plainant and three other females, with whom they en deavoured to enter into conversation, but were repulsed, and at a lonely part of the road the prisoner laid hold of Miss Vinell's arms, and committed the assault com plained of. The prosecutrix called a policeman, but the prisoner being determined to have the advantage of making the first accusation, made a charge against her of having attempted to pick his pocket. Mr. GREENWOOD, after hearing all the evidence which occupied nearly two hours, said he considered the charge to be fully established, and that the mode taken by the prisoner to rebut it was disgraceful. He should fine him 51., and in default, ordered him to be committed for two months to the House of Correction, with bard labour. Mr. WORDOWORTII, on the part of the defendant, con tended that there was no evidence to fix his client. I was quite true that some fraud had been committed, but it was quite another question to say that the defendant had been guilty of those frauds. The period at which the fraud was committed was an unusually busy period, in consequence of a resolution of the House of Commons during the passage of the New Tariff Bills to admit coffee and other articles at the reduced rate of duty contemplated by the Act, and the deli very order might have been filled up by a mere error, in consequence of the press of business; then this order was countersigned by the defendant, but his name was nearly, if not the last which was affixed to the document. The defendant, therefore, had not been proved to be the person who committed the fraud, and it was the duty of the Crown to have brought forward some evidence rela tive to the earlier history of the transaction. Mr. Fennell, the owner of the pepper, should have been called, and some other officers who had been dismissed lately for misconduct. The Crown had failed to make out the case, for the issue to be made out was clearly whether or not the defendant had committed the fraud in:question. In conclusion, he stated that, although the name of the defendant had been mixed up with former prosecutions, and he had been suspended from his office, still that fact should not be allowed to operate against him in the present case. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied at some length. The LORD CHIEF BARON Slimmed up, and the jury returned a verdict for the Crown—Damages, 202/.lBs. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 28. VARNEY V. HICKMAN-A WAGER CASE. This was an action brought to recover Hick man, licensed victualler, in Cl?rkenwell, a sum o f 201. which had been deposited in his hands by the plaintiff, to abide the result of a race. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. Phinn appeared for the - plaintiff, Mr. Parry and Mr. Joyce appeared for the defence. From the statement of the case it appeared, that on the 18th of April last, a cab -contractor was at the house of the defendant, where be met with a Jew of the name of Isaacs, a dust-contractor. A w ager was ma d e be tween them of the following character ; namely, that the calf-proprietor should ruin one of his horses with a light chaise-cart attached to it, against a horse of the defendant's, harnessed in a dust cart, each to carry ten cwt. The stakes, 401. were handed t o th e l an dl or d to abide the issue of this novel race, but on the day of trial it appeared that the cabman was non est inventus, and the dust-contractor had the field to himself. In consequence Isaacs claimed the . stakes from M r . Hick man, and, after some hes i tat ion on the part of the latter, ho delivered the money over on receiving an indemUity. The result was the bringing of the present action to recover the 201. depo sited by Varney on the ground that the wager was conflicting g character, one side the money was given tb the defendant be f ore he paid it over to Isaacs, illegal and void, and that he had served a notice on Hickman not to deliver up the money to Isaacs before the time that the former bad paid it over. The evi dence proving adduced that verywtahseonfotleeto w ithhold the other side that it was after. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed u p i n f avour of the plainti ff , and the jury immediately returned a verdict for the whole amount claimed. FA.DIJEIHLE V. HOLROYD.--GAMING DEBTS. This was an action brought by Mr. Fadeuihle, a wine merchant, doing business in the City, against Mr. Hol royd, a cloth worker, of Leeds, the indorser of a note, accepted by Mr. Hanks, of London, formerly a grocer, but now a bankrupt. The defendant pleaded that the bill was given without legal consideration, having been passed to plaintiff for a gaming debt contracted on the last Derby day. Mr Sergeant Wilkins and Mr; James appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Matthews for the defence. The promissory note was drawn by the defend ant, and endorsed to Mr. Hanks. It appeared that, on the last Derby day, Mr. Fadeuihle had a party at his house who had been with him at the races, composed of Mr. Hanks and two gentlemen from Yorkshire, and, after dinner, they proceeded to play at whist. In the course of the evening Hanks lost 281. to the plaintiff, for which he gave an I 0 U, on the understanding that it should be given up when the money was paid. Subse quently the bill in question was endorsed by Hanks, and paid to the plaintiff, receiving the balance, in cash, which, it appeared, was also lost in gaming. Hanks about this time became a bankrupt, and hence the present action. At the time the bill was given to the plaintiff it was alleged, on behalf of the latter, that the defendant owed a debt for wine, and that the bill was given not for the gaming debt, but for that. This was denied by Hanks, who declared positively that the bill was given for the gaming debt alone, and had nothing whatever to do with the wine. After the examination of a number of witnesses on both sides, the evidence of which was strongly in favour of the defence, The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) William Smith, aged 20, carrier, and George Pearson, aged 24, fender maker, were indicted fur stealing a hat and other articles, worth 10s., and the sum of 30s. in money, from William Turner, on the night of the Bth November last, and doing him serious bodily harm. Pulice-constable 164 M apprehended the prisoner Pearson at the time the circumstance occurred. Watkins, another police-constable, who had appre hended Smith, produc e d a h at , w hi c h the prosecutor said he believed to be hi s , t h oug h h e c ould not swear to it. Thomas Shepherd, one of the detective force ' stated that he had seen th e p r i soner at th e public-house in Blackman-street, in the Borough, on the night in ques tion after the robbery, when he held a hat in his hand, whereas an hour before he had seen him with a cap in his hand. The prosecutor said that about twelve o'clock on the night of the Bth he was in Blackman-street, when, at a certain part of the street, he saw about fourteen or fifteen persons on the pavement, who, as he approached then opened a lane for him, as h© thought, to pass. He had not gone far, however, before his hands were seized and held behind him, and immediately afterwards he had all his money taken from his pockets. He called out for the police, and was directly struck on the side of the head two or three times. The blows, how ever. did not stun him, and he still continued to call out. At the same time he was struck on the face, and his lip was laid open. He was confident, that at the time of WORSHIP-STREET. Henry and Elizabeth Gobey were charged with having in their possession a variety of articles, the alleged pro perty of Mr. Atkinson Morley, proprietor of the hotel bearing his name in Old Burlington-street, Bond-street. Police-sergeant Price said that in consequence of information he had received, he proceeded to Mr. Morley, who accompanied him to the prisoners' lodgings in George-street, Shoreditch. They were both at home. On a table in their room were perceived three decanters and soma wine•glasses, which Mr. Morley identified at once as his property. The female prisoner said that one of the decanters she had found in a dust-hole at Mr. Morley's, whilst she was a servant at the hotel; that the others were his (Mr. Morley's) property, as well as the glasses, but that she did not take them. During this search, the male prisoner kicked against one of the de canters, which was lying upon the floor under the bed, and broke it. Witness then sent for another constable, and the male prisoner was conveyed to the station-house. Witness continued his search, and in a box found some linen articles, bed-furniture, carpeting. and a hearth rug, &c. &c.; some of these the female prisoner said she had found, and others she had purchased whilst in Mr. Morley's employ. The articles were now produced, and Mr. Morley identified some of them. The female prisoner was house or chambermaid in his employment about a year and a half ago. He did not believe that the male prisoner had any knowledge of the robbery. Mr. COO MBE said he should admit the male prisoner to bail in two sureties of 20/. each, for his appearance on Saturday, but that the wife should be remanded until that day. LEEDS DISTRICT COURT OF BANK RUPTCY, Nov. 21. (Before Mr. Commissioner Buncs.) IN RE EARL IsIEXBOROUGH. On Thursday week, a fiat in bankruptcy came down to this Court against John Savile, Earl Mexborough, of Methley Park, and describing his Lordship as a share broker, jobber, dealer and chapman. The solicitor to the fiat was Mr. John Smith, of Bir mingham, and the petitioning creditor a Mr. Joseph Joel, of London, a JQw money-lender. On Saturday, the case was first mentioned to his Honour, on an application to open the fiat, when several witnesses, chiefly from London (including the Honour able Frederick Savile), who had been summoncd, were in attendance. Mr. Dyson, of Halifax, and Mr. Courtenay, of Leeds, attended on behalf of Lord Mexborough. One of the witnesses was to produce a deed by which the solicitor to the fiat intended to prove an act of bank ruptcy, but being unable to prove the trading of the alleged bankrupt, his Honour refused to order the pro duction of the deed until the preliminary question was settled.inamely, whether the party was a trader. It was stated that Mr. T. M. Lee, of Leeds, solicitor, was in a condition to prove the trading, but , his attendance was required in London under subpoena from the superior courts, and he would not be able to 'ilia to Leeds be fore Saturday night. Under the cirettmstances, Mr. SMITH applied for an adjournment'untirMonday. During the sitting of the Court the petitioning cre ditor proved. his debt for 2501. on a bill drawn at four months. His Horroun gave liberty to Mr. Courtenay to appear for Lord Mexborough during the future proceedings re specting the fiat. THE GREAT BRITAIN.—BRISTOL, Nov. 2S. — There seems to be now no hope, from the intelligence which reached this city last night, of the Great Britain being got off from her present position on the sands in Dundrum Bay. It was stated in the Commercial Rooms that a letter from the enineer, whose plan for getting her off had been approved, represents that the late gales have so far strained and damaged her, that she will not repay the cost which would necessarily be incurred in the . attempt. LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—The open ing of this railway has been delayed in consequence of unforeseen circumstances. It will probably be inspected in the course of eight or ten days, and will immediately afterwards be publicly opened. The general feeling is in favour of a holiday upon the occasion, in order to celebrate the important event with all due ceremony and rejoicing, and to accomplish this, we hope the directors will give sufficient notice of the time to enable trades men to make the necessary arrangements. — Carlisle Journal. THREE MEN BURIED ALIVE.—On Friday, the 13th inst., at Sewell, in the parish of lloughton Regis, three labourers employed in moving earth for the new branch railway from the London and North-Western line i to Dunstable, were buried alive by the falling in of a considerable body of earth. Their fellow-labourers, however, succeeded in digging them out in about ten minutes, unhurt, with the exception of some bruises.— Hertford County News.

ROYAL ARTILLERY. WOOLWICH, Nov. 29. DEATH OF LIEUTENANT-COLONEL HORNSBY.—lntel ligence has been received at Woolwich of the death of Lieutenant-Colonel John Romaine Hornsby, of the Royal Artillery, who expired at St. Helena on the 10th of October. The deceased officer was created Lieutenant- Colonel by the late brevet of the 9th instant, and the in telligence of his death had consequently not rcached Woolwich at that time. Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Blackley, of the Royal Horse Artillery, having been ordered to Ireland to relive Colonel T. Dyneley in the command of the Royal Hore Artillery at Portobello, Dublin, has sent in his resignation, and received permis sion from the Master-General to retire on full pay, hav ing been in the service 43 years. In consequence of his retirement the following officers will be promoted : Captain and Brevet Major R. Clark to be Lieutenant- Colonel ; Second Captain G. V. Cockburn to be Cap tain ; First Lieutenant C. W. Younghusband to be Second Captatn ; and Second Lieutenant A. M. Calvert to be First Lieutenant. The command of the Royal Artillery at Portebello will devolve upon Lieutenant- Colonel M. Louis, as the senior officer of the Royal Horse Artillery. Lieutenant. Colonel T. Gordon Hig gins will be appointed to succeed Lieutenant-Colonel Blackley in the Royal Horse Artillery. • The extensive demand for iron both in Europe and in this country, not only for railroads and ships, but an innu merable variety of pulposes, has stimulated the inventive genius of some American, and the result is as important as it is gratifying. Experiments have been made by Mr. W. C. Green, of New Jersey, at the Boston Iron-works of Sherman and Atwater, of the City of New York, whose extensive iron foundries are in New Jersey. Mr. Green's improvement is in the process of puddling the iron from the pig to the bar. In stead of using the pig iron, which costs about 35 dollars per ton, he is enabled to use a large portion of the ore, which costs but 2 dollars 50 cents. per ton, by which he effects, in labour and material, a saving of more than 33 per cent.,and he gives a far better quality of iron than that which is obtained from the pig; as much better in appearance as China is better than earthenware. We have seen and compared, says the Ex press, the new specimen with iron made in the old way, and have marked the contrast as very great. Mr. Green's secret consists chiefly in mixing a composition with his ore and white in a molten state, by which the carbon is more rapidly ex hausted than it is under the old process, and the iron is thus, in half the time, left tougher and finer. • There is an axe factory at Collinsville, near Hartford, Connecticut, in which 45 men turn out 800 axes every day. The axes sell for 13 dollars per dozen upon an average. The demand for them is almost illimitable. They labour in seven shops. The sixth shop is sacred—" no admittance" is written upon the door posts. The reason for this is, that a new pro cess for tempering the axes has been discovered—a process by which a hundred can be tempered at once ; and that, too, after they have been graund. It is certainly a most important discovery. STATISTICS OF THE STEAM NAVY.—A Corre spondent of the limes, in defending the Government for raising the status of the first-class naval engineers by making them ward-room officers, furnishes the following statistics of the steam navy of this country. The steam engines employed in the navy amount to 38,938 horse power, which, at 50.. per horse, costs 1,946,4001.; and the spare gear for ditto, at 5 per cent., 97,345/.; making a total of 2,044,245/. for the value of our steam machinery afloat. To work this machinery we should, at the rate of 101 b, of coals per horse-power per hour, consume 4,172 tons of coals per day; take the average price in the different parts of the world in which they would be used at 30s. per ton, and we find we consume 6,2581. wen th per say. Allow the whole fleet to be employed uEe third of the year at the same rate, and we incur an ex pense of 763,4761. for coals ; say for tallow, oil, &c., 38,5241.; and for replacing and repairing machinery (per naval estimate), 450,0001.; and we find our annual ex pense for working this machinery amounts to 1,252,0004 ABBY FOLSOM DISSATISFIED WITH AN EAST VICTORY.—On Saturday Mrs. Abigail Folsom appeared in the justices' court to answer to a writ of ejectment brought by Mr. Whithridge, her landlord; but as he did not appear to assert his right to turn Abby out of doors, the court ordered him to be defaulted, and gave judg ment in Abby's favour. As this peaceable settlement of the case cut Abby off from her intended speeoh, she ex pressed great dissatisfaction, and insisted upon appeal ing. It was in vain that she was told she could not appeal, as the judgment was in her favour. Failing to carry her point in that court, she mounted up to the common pleas room, walked into the chief justice's crimson-bound sanctum, called his attention to her by tapping him on the shoulder, stated her grievance to him, and insisted that he should receive her appeal. The chief justice, as soon as he had recovered from his sur prise, ordered officer G. Andrews to remove the lady from the bench and the court-room. It was not without the use of some physical force that the officer ejected Abby.—Boston Post. A HORSE'S REVENGE.—Two days ago the owner of a horse, at the time standing in Mr. Lamontagne's stable at Point Levi, while in a state of intoxication, entered the animal's stall, and it is supposed began to tease him, when tho horse threw him down, and falling upon his knees, worried him like a dog would. The groans of the man brought the ostler and one or two other persons to his assistance. When these entered the stable, they found the horse kneeling and the man lying on his back. The brute had his arm firmly wedged be tween his teeth, and it ss as with much difficulty he was made to loosen his hold. The poor man had both his arms broken by the furious bites of the horse, and the bone of one, the left, was so ground to pieces, and the flesh so lacerated, that amputation had to be resorted to. his face is torn, and his body severely bruised in several places. lie is now under Dr. Itacey's care, and likely to do well. The horse (a stallion) is said to be ex tremely vicious, and only manageable by his owner, who is known to have severely punished hark on frequent occasions, to reduce him to obedience.—Quebec Mer cury, Oct. 15. THE RAZOR-STROF MAN.—The liberality with which this celebrated individual gives for charitable purposes is well known. An instance occurred on Tues day last at Canandaigna. He left the cars at Blossom , a Refreshment-house, and taking his stand before the building soon drew the crowd from the tables to listen to his peculiar eloquence. During the "ten minutes" he had sold nine strop s , and just as the bell began to sing, he espied in the crowd a poor old man who was peddling pea-nuts and candy. Instantly the razor-strop man threw 18s., the proceeds of his sale, into the old man's basket, and stepped on board the cars, leaving the object of his benefaction astonished at so sudden. and welcome an exercise of bounty.—Rochester Americam. MARKET NEWS-(YESTERDAY.) CORN-EXCHANCFE. The arrivals of English Wheat up to our market last wet were considerably on the increase, and of superior quality , Of all other Garin of home produce the receipts were mo derate. From Scotland very little came to hand; but from Ireland upwards of 10,000 quarters of Oats reached us. The imports of Foreign Corn and Flour were only to a moderate extent. Fresh up a full average quantity of Wheat of home produce was received coastwise, principally from Essex and Kent, consequently the stands were well filled with samples of both Red and White, the principal portion of which were those left over from last week. The supply being more than adequate to meet the wants of the dealers, whose attendance was comparatively small, the de mand was in a slugglish state. Still, however, a full amount of business was transacted at, in some instances, a decline in the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight of is per quarter, but, as that depression was riot general, we can make no al teration in our prices. At the close of the market a clearance had not been effected. With free Foreign we were well sup plied. That article met a very slow inquiry, and the quota tions had a downward tendency, without much progress being made in sales. In Grain under lock next to nothing was doing, either for shipment or speculation in the home market. Prices was, therefore, almost nominal The supply of Barley was comparatively small. Selected parcels of malting moved off steadily, at full prices; hut grinding and distilling sorts commanded very little attention, at late rates Although the quantity of Malt on show was small, that article, arising from the nue illingnetisof the large brewers to get into stock at the present high rates, was in a very inactive state, at last week's currencies. The actual, supply of Oats was small. Sound Corn was quite as dear but ell other kinds were much neglected, though we cannot call them cheaper. In Beaus a moderate business was doing, at previous rates. The sale for Peas was by no maans active, at lust week's figures. Flour dull, at our quotations.

The weather being favourable to slaughtering, and the attendance of buyers good, the Beef trade was firm, at an advance in the currencies obtained on Mondry last of 2d per 81bs, and at which a good clearance was effected. The droves from the northern counties were composed of nearly 2,000 short horns ; from the western and u.idland districts, 900 Herefords, Runts, Devons, tsc. •, and from other parts of England, SOO of various breeds. With Sheep we were moderately supplied, while the Mutton trade was steady, and last week's prices were well supported. Calves moved off slowly, at late rates, but Pigs were quite as dear.

DARING BURGLARY AT YORK.--On Wednesday morning last, at one o'clock, four men entered the house of Mr. Wilson, of West Cottage, which is situated about a mile and a half from this city, on the Boroughbridge road, by taking out a window at the back of the pre mises. The thieves went up stairs, covered the inmates overhead with the bedclothes, and threatened that if they afterwards said anything about the matter they should all be murdered. After the robbers had remained about an hour in the house, they decamped, taking away with them a quantity of wearing apparel, a sovereign, and 9a. in silver.—Yorhshireman.
