Between five and six o'clock yesterday morning, Mr. Walker, tenant of the farm before named, was found by his grieve in bed with a napkin tied over his mouth, both his hands pinioned to his sides, and his legs fastened to the bed post. Mr. Walksr says he felt something restraining him in his sleep, but he has not the slightest conception haw or by whom he was thus so completely and deli berately bound. At a short distance from the dwelling house a desk belonging to Mr. Walker was found broken open, and, it is said, 801. abstracted from it. The ex planation of this extraordinary case, so far as we have been able to learn, is, that some person, by means of a ladder:had effected an entrance into the attic story of the house, and after descending to Mr. Walker's bed room, perpetrated the theft. However, from the state ments current yesterday as to the result of the partial investigation into the circumstances made by the autho rides, and which is alleged to be altogether of a contra dictory and mysterious character, it appears doubtful whether any burglary has in reality been committed. The matter, which has created great sensation in the neighbourhood, is, in the meantime, undergoing judicial investigation.-Edinburgh Advertiser, Oct. 26. WHEAT, &c., DUTY FREE.-A Parliamentary paper was published on Iv:Eon:lay, of twenty-four folio pages, showing the operation of the Act 5 and 6 Vice, c. 92, from the :oth of August, 1342, to the sth of January last. From the summary of the accounts given in the return, it appears that the wheat delivered from the warehouse or vessel, duty free, numbered 192,543 quarters and 7 bushels. Of the flour and biscuit de posited, 193,370 eve t. 3 qrs. 271 b. were fine wheat flour, 34,937 cwt. 2 qrs of captains' biscuits, 133,973 cwt. 6 qrs. lib of biscuit of the standard of that supplied to the nary, 376,790 cwt. 3 qrs. 3:b of common ship biscuit, and 14 cwt. 3 qrs. 141 b. of fancy biscuit. Of the flour and biscuit mentioned, only 8,983 cwt. 2 qrs. B.b. was retained for home consumption, and the remainder taken out for exportation, either us merchandise or as stores. The quantities remaining in warehouse, or in the course of removal, under bond, from port to port, on the sth of of January last, were 14,643 cwt. 2 qrs. 211 b. of fine wheat flour, 1,228 cwt. 3 qrs. 211 b. of captains' biscuit, 5,403 cwt. 2 qrs. 61b. of biscuit of the standard of that supplied to the navy, and 8,224 cwt. 3 qrs. 171 b. of com mon ship biscuit. DEGRADATION OF AN AUSTRIAN GENEE.A.L.-We give the following particulars of a recent affair which has scandalised society in Vienna :-Field Marshal Lieute nant Count de Tisch had betrothed his only daughter to the Baron de S--, a Lieutenant of Hussars, who re mitted to bine the sum of 6,000 florins (15,600 francs) in state securities by way of recurity for the fulfilment of his engagement to marry Mademoiselle de Tisch. Two months afterwards all parties amicably agreed to wave the marriage entirely. The Baron of course claithed his cash, or rather his securities, but M. de Tisch had the effrontery to deny having received them. An action was immediately instituted for the recovery of the pro perty, but, as the Baron could bring forward no positive proof of the deposit, the tribunal d,creed that in case Field Marshal Count de Tisch would affirm on oath that he had not received the bonds, the Baron de S should be cast, and condemned to pay the costs. This :oath was gulped by Count de Tisch without hesitation, and ho at the same time accused M. de S- before the Criminal Tribunal of defaming his reputation. The Court sentenced the poor Baron to pay a heavy fine, and to one year's imprison ment, which compelled the young officer to leave the service. His relatives, however, strained every nerve to obtain proofs of the deposit made with Count de Tisch, and they at length discovered that that officer had secretly sold the securities in question. They imme diately denounced the guilty reprobate to the Aulic Council of War, and the " worthy Count" having been clearly convicted of perjury and embezzlement, was con demned to be degraded as infamous, and sentenced, besides, to ten years' hard labour by way of appendix. The Emperor, however, considering that M. de Tisch bad been his preceptor, commuted the first penalty to that of simple degradatioa, and annulled the other en tirely. The sentence thus modified was executed on the 15th inst., at noonday, before the Aulic Council of War. The Field-Marshal Count de Tisch was led into the hall before the judges, general officers, and all the colonels at Vienna. The usher having read the sentence, the pro vost of the general staff approached M. de Ti sc h, t ore off his_ decorations, stripped him of. his Field-Marshal's uniform, and dragged him from the hall, this last act signifying his expulsion from the army. The sentence of the Baron de S- Ins since been quashed, and he has returned to his military duties.-Paris paper. AMERICAN PRODUCE.-The following are the latest arrivals of provisions and articles of general consumption from the United States of America into the ports of London and Liverpool, the enumeration of which in this especial manner at the present these cannot fail to prove interesting to the public generally, and of the highest importance to ail parties concerned. The line-of-packet ship Toronto brought from New York the large number of 2,848 boxes of American cheese, 150 barrels of pork, 100 of beef, 1,796 kegs of lard, 54 casks and 248,5701 b. weight in bulk of oilseed cake for feeding cattle, with a variety of other productions ; the Sheridan, from New York, 30 packages of apples, 1,678 barrels of flour, 1,912 of lard, 203 barrels of pork, 657 boxes of cheese, 7,000 bushels of corn, 9,000 bushels of wheat, 335 barrels of corn meal, and 3,400 bushels of Indian corn; the Wyoming, from Philadelphia, 1, 301 kegs of lard, 40 tierces of beef, 6,400 bushels of wheat, 100 barrels of flour, 563 barrels of corn meal, and the large quantity of 14,700 bushels of Indian corn, all the produce of the United States ; the ship Sea, from New York, brought 3,605 barrels of flour, 650 barrels and 76 tierces of lard, 81 firkins of butter, several barrels of hams and bacon, 21 packages of beef, 270 boxes of cheese, 4,603 bushels of wheat, and 4,115 bushels of Indian corn; the Southerner, from New Orleans, 3,033 barrels of flour, 9 packages of biscuit, 250 barrels and 22 tierces of beans, and 16,025 bushels of wheat and other produce ; the Henry Pratt, from New Orleans, 620 sacks of wheat, and a variety of other articles; the Washington Irving, from Boston, 1,89'2 barrels of flo u r, 100 boxes of onions, 660 barrels of pork, 14 pac k ages of hams, 161 packages a of beef, 3,099 kegs and 1,422 b arrels of lard, with variety of other productions ; and the Great Western steam-ship, from New York, brought an unusually large quantity of American cheese, comprising 4,969 boxes of the article, 730 barrels of apples, several packages of flour, 70 kegs of butter, 92 casks and other pack ages of hams, 28 of pork, 37 barrels of beef, and 82 barrels of biscuit, the whole the produce of the United States of America. The Henry Clay, subsequently arrived at the port of Liverpool from New York, has brought 2,856 barrels of flour, 532 barrels of apples, the large number of 2,794 boxes of cheese, 462 barrels of beef and pork, 40 barrels cf general provisions, 70 of biscuit, the large quantity of 80 firkins and 100 kegs of butter, 10 barrels of vinegar, 2,630 quarters of wheat, and other productions, which need not be more parti cularly mentioned, altogether forming a cargo of an ex tensive nature. This list includes the arrivals at the port of Liverpool up to the 27th, and the port of London to the 29th inst., inclusively, according to the latest official and current returns, and will doubtless be read with interest by the general pahlic, as they will form a subject of importance to the numerous parties concerned is the importation of provisions from foreign and distant parts of the world for consumption in this country. A LESSON FOR GOEMANDISEES.-On Friday morn ing a kingfisher was found dead on the banks of the pool :atcAllenraorp, near this city, with 'a perch about two itehe and a half l ong i n i ts t h roa t. Th e bi r d h a d at mpted to swallow the fish whole, but the dorsal fin of the latter appears to have alike prevented descent or fixed, return ; caused the de a th o consequently in th e gu llet, th e v i c ti m by suffocation. its The plumage beautif u l b u t vorac i ous d es t royer plumag e of the kingfisher is fur nished with a sort of metallic surface resplendent with the most brilliant hues-hence action of wat e r pro duces little ofd et upon it, and a manner in whi c h th e bird will dart beneath the surfsacreemarkal.vleer or stream and se;z..i its prey tran s v erse l y i to its position on a tree or bank, it comme.

Without losing its hold it g passes the fish between its manibles until it has a D , e a it f.irly by the tail, and then erds the struggles the prey, by beating its head against the place where it sits. The bird next reverses the position, and if it has no young to which to bear off the prize, swallows its prey, head-foremost. This appears to have been the case in the present instance, but the repast being too bountiful proved fatal. Mr. Baker, of Bye-street, has ingeniously stuffed the bird just as it was found, with the fish in its mouth.-1 - fen,ford Journal. DOCKS. \ Dividend 1 Amount same of Company. per i of Paid Annum.

Price, DEATH OF SIR GEO. WOMBWELL. This, the second baronet of his line, whose name in many respects may be familiar to the reader, expired on the 28th instant, at the ancient family seat, Wombwell, in Yorkshire, aged 70. For some months back the Right Hon. Baronet's health, owing entirely to his ad vanced age, bad been declining, awl the event now an nounced was not in consequence altogether unexpected, Sir George was born on the 14th of March, 1769, being the son of the first baronet, an extensive merchant and East India proprietor, and for a considerable period chairman of the East India Company, by Susanah, only daughter of Alderman Sir Thomas Rawlinson, Knight, of London. He had the misfortune to lose his father when not more than eleven years of age, and in conse quence the estates were held in trust for upwards of ten years. Tha deceased was twice married, viz. —first, on the 19th of July, 1791, to Lady Anne, daughter of the second Earl of Fanconberg (title now extinct), by Char lotte, sister to Deniston Lambe, first Viscount Mel bourne, and by that lady he had issue George Womb well, so well known in fashionable circles, born in 1792; Henry William, born in 1795, died in 1335 ; and Fre derick Richard, born 1797, died in 1807; and secondly, he was united to Eliza, daughter of T. E. Little, Esq., of Hampstead, by whom, who survives, he had, amongst other children, a son and daughter, both dead ; a son, Charles, born in 1813. The titles and estates are succeeded to by George, eldest son above mentioned, who married, in 1824, Georgiana, the youngest daughter of 0. Hunter, Esq., of Crowland Abbey, Lincolnshire ; and an elder sister of that lady is the wife of Charles Wombwell, E q., step brother to the present baronet. This family is of ancient and honourable extraction, and deduce their descent from Robert de Wombwell, who lived in the time of King Stephen, and who derived his surname from his place of residence, Wombwell, county of York. The estates were out of the possession of the family for some years, having been alienated by an heiress, but were purchased and brought back by the first baronet. ATROCIOUS CRUELTY.—LLANDILO. — This place was greatly enlivened on Friday last with the perform ances of a few of the crack shots of the place in killing a bull at the Half-moon slaughterhouse. The customer in hand being rather an ugly one to contend with, the usual method adopted at Llandilo of slaughtering beasts was abandoned, and the call was sounded for the cracks to turn out, when, in a very short time, a pretty fair sprinkling was in attendance. Preliminaries being ad justed, shot one stood forth, and let go—no visible effect on the beast, except a slight contemptuous toss of the head; 2to 4, ditto. No. 5 shot through the nostril— snuff-taking spoilt; 6 to 8, harmless. No 9 advanced, cautious, and, deliberately taking aim, bang smash goes the left eye of the bull. The animal, in his agony, made a lurch forward snapped the rope which was fastened to his horns, and passed through the bullring into the hands of certain gentlemen volunteers outside, who, in the ecstacy of the moment, and in admiration of the last feat, simul taneously threw their heels overhead. The bull, being now free, went into the yard behind the slaughter-house, and while there a stone of about 401bs. weight was thrown at hi m f rom the King ' s Head Inn gar den, which is divided from tae yard by a wall of twenty four feet high. The st one d ropp i ng on hi s head, he bellowed in the most hideous manner, and rushed back to the slaughter-house. The crowd outside, deeming prudence the best part of valour, although there was no danger, cut in two divisions, one down Bridge-street, and the other up, at that pace generally known by the name of " the devil take the hindmost." In a short time order was restored, when No. 10 (who ought to have 'oven there early) fired and knocked a piece of the hull's horn off; of course, the fault was that he never practised with a flint-gun, or the bull winked at him. No. 9 havirg spoilt his squinting, Nos. 11 to 17 hit all parts of the body but the riAht place. No. 18, John Richard, glorious John, finished his career. The bloody affray began at nine o'clock A M., and ended about ten minutes to twelve. The owner ran away on the fourth shot to a house about three hundred yards from the slaughter house, whence he sent boys to bring him news of the state of the game; and when he heard the bull was really dead, he jumped off his chair, and said, Thank cod, he is dead now; I thought they would never have killed him; but he always was a stubborn bull."— Welslanaa. The sham parcel impositon was played off on Friday night and Saturday morning upon two re.spect able firms i n Th r ead n e e dl e - s t ree t. A f e llow m the dress of a porter, called on Friday night at each office, and presented a parcel, with a printed bill, as if from Scorell's wharf, and by steam packet and railroad. The housekeepers at once paid the demand, and the trick hiving so easily succeeded on Friday, in walked a couple of parcels, as neatly bound up, and with all the usual forms, next morning. The thing was managed before any of the clerks arrived, and the principals had to pay between fifteen shillings and a pound for pieces of board and waste paper. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oetoher 31. THE TRING, READING, AND BASINGSTOKE RAILWAY COMPANY. The Court was much crowded during the investiga tion of this case by shareholders and creditors of the company. Mr, Lawrence appeared as the solicitor to the fiat of bankruptcy, Mr. James as counsel for the directors, to dispute various claims ; and Mr. Sergeant Allen for the shareholders, who contended that th directors had ex ceeded their authority, and varied from the terms of the subscription contract deed, and that they only were liable to the debts incurred. Mr. Blunt, their engineer, claimed a balance of 4501.; his examination was not finished when the Court rose. In one item he charged five guineas for attending the committee to receive 1001. on account. The case was adjourned to Friday next. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the LORD CHIEF BARON.) RAPE.—Charles Howard, aged 20, a labourer, was in dicted for committing a rape on the person of Clarissa Keyworth, a girl aged 18, and William Lewis and Wil liam Stewart were indicted for being present, aiding and abetting him in the committal of the crime. Mr. Huddlestone appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine defended the prisoner Stewart; and Mr. Parnell, though not engaged, volunteered to defend the other two prisoners. The facts of the case are totally unfit for publication. The jury, under the direction of the Lord Chief Baron, acquitted Stewart, and found the other two prisoners Guilty of an assault. Sentence deferred. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Benjamin Lampert, aged 23, a smith, and Robert Greeny, aged 20, also a smith, were indicted for stealing 91. 4s. from the person of Henry Clement, a toll-collector in the employ of Mr. James Levy, the contractor, on Wednesday, the 7th instant. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Parnell for the prisoner Greeny. Clements was sent by his employer, who resides at Kensington, to receive the tolls received during the day at the Stamford-gate, Fulham. He received the money from Gulliver, the toll-man. It consisted chiefly of silver, and was made up into two packets, which he placed in the breast pocket of a great coat he wore. He proceeded towards Kensington, aed when he had gone a short distance Lambert passed him. He had seen Lam bert two or three days before the day in question at the Honey-lane gate, on the Fulham-road. He inquired who was at the other gate, and thinking be had some thing to do with the collecting of the tolls, he replied he did not know. Whilst proceeding along Glou cester-road, the time being between six and seven in the evening, five men rushed upon him and threw him down ; one of them hell him tightly by the throat, to prevent him making any noise, and covered his eyes in order that he might not see his assailants. They then cut his pocket out, and, after kicking him severely on the head, hurried away. A constable, hearing the cry of police, ran to the spot and found Clements, much ex cited, bleeding from one of his ears and a large lump on his head. He swore that the two prisoners were of the party, as also did a young man, named Waite, who was familiar with their persons, who saw them near the " Golden Boots." His father gave evidence to the same effect, and added, that the prisoner Lambert was in ad vance of the party, who all proceeded up the Fulham road, towards the spot where the robbery was committed The constable, it appeared, also saw five men in the Gloucester-road, near the time the robbery took place, and identified the prisoners as two of them. Two pieces of paper similar to that which the money wt:s wrapped was found upon them. Lambert declarad his innocence, but did not deny that he was near the spot at the time of the robbery. Mr. PARNELL addressed the jury on behalf of Greeny, and contended that the evidence was insufficient to con vict him of the crime laid to his charge. • The jury found the prisoner guilty.—Greeny, it ap peared, was convicted of felony on the 3d of February last year, at the Surrey Sessions, and received 3 months' imprisonment. The LORD CHIEF BARON sentenced the prisoners to 15 years' transportation. FORGERY ON THE MARCHIONESS OF QUEENSBERRY.- Villiers Pearce and Bridget Sullivan who were con victed on Friday of forging and uttering forged cheques on Messrs. Coutts' bank, were called up for judgment. Pearce urged in mitigation of pu - tishment that he had held the post of midshipman in the navy, the chief clerkship in the Post-office of Sydney, and various other offices of trust and responsibility. He earnestly proclaimed his innocence, as also did the female, and each besought the mercy of the Court, on account of their large and young family. The prisoner's brother and sister, also, earnestly be sought the Court to temper its decision with mercy. The male prisoner appealed to the Court to postpone passing sentence for two hours, in order that several friends whom he had sent for might be in attendance t• speak to the way he had conducted himself in time past. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE saw no necessity for any further delay. He gave him all the credit he claimed ftn his conduct in the various situations he had filled, but he considered that this fact, coupled with his intelligence, did not give him so strong a claim to the mercy of the Court as if he were a poor ignorant man, but rather aggravated his offence. The offence he hadi committed was one of considerable enormity, inasmuch as he forged the name of Lady Queensberry, who had been his benefactress. The sentence of the Court, therefore, was, that he be transported for ten years ; and that Bridget Sullivan, whose case was vastly different, she having acted under his instructions—the sentence with respect to her was, that she be imprisoned and kept at hard labour for six mouths. The female, on hearing the sentence of the Court, clasped her hands, and was removed screaming " Oh my poor husband, speak to me, speak to me." A more affecting scene we never witnessed in a court of justice. NE TV COURT. (Before the C O MMON-SERGEANT and Mr. Alderman MooN.) Margaret Shelton was convicted of stealing a watch, the property of Daniel King, from his person, and sen tenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour William Mears, a botcher, and Robert Henderson, a currier, were convicted of stealing at Camberwell 190 cigars, the property of Thomas Payne. The COMMON-SERGEANT sentenced Henderson to three months imprisonment and hard labour, and Mears, whc had been twice before convicted, was sentenced to sever years' transportation. Edmund Eldrige, 25, a carpenter, was convicted of stealing 3 lbs. weight of nails and screws, the property of Thomas Joseph Ditchburn and others, his masters, and sentenced to six days' imprisonment in Newgate. William New, 21, an ostler, and George Ball, 26, a chairmaker, were convicted of stealing a watch, a purse, a half sovereign, four half-crowns, and other moneys, the property of Wm. Baker, from his person, and sen tenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE GUILDHALL. Mr. Ward, of the firm of Ward and Co., letter-press printers, Bear-alley, Farringdon- street, appeared to answer a complaint made by Edward Billing, a journey man in the press department, for refusing to pay him two weeks' wages, due under a hiring for eleven months certain, and not yet completed. Mr. Alderman Wood joined Mr. Alderman Hooper i the further hearing of the complaint. Mr. Wolfe supported the complaint, which was made by the order of the Trade s Union; and Mr. Wilkins, a solicitor, attended on behalf of Messrs. Ward, or rather a body of master printers. Several masters and jour neymen were present. Billing deposed that he entered the service of the de fendants nine months ago, and was employed on press work. In April an apprentice was taken, and a man named Plummer was appointed to instruct him. Plum mer absented himself after a month, and complainant was appointed to work with and instruct the boy. After working two or three weeks, he beard that his employers intended to place the boy under the tuition of an elder apprentice, named Cooke, and, as he would not be made a convenience of in this way, he immediatel sought as explanation from his employer in the counting-house. He asked how he was to consider him self to be engaged, for he had heard he was to be dis charged when the work was short, and Cooke was to be put over the boy. Mr. Ward said he had no idea of making such an alteration. Complainant understood stereotype work, and working wood engravings, and jobbing generally, and, so long as he attended to his time, and attended to the boy, he should continue for the rest of the twelve months. Witness immediately said, " And have the two guineas ? " Mr. Ward replied, "Yes, ex actly the same as Plummer." This satkfied him com pletely, and he went to work. He entered on this con tract on the 13th of May, and worked till the 10th of October. He had a fortnight's warning at the end of September. He remonstrate d on being so discharged, as contrary to the custom of the trade, which was, that a man who instructed a boy should be engaged for a whole year, at fixed weekly w a g es, and have two guineas at the end of the term. Mr. Ward said he intended to employ him again as soon as the work came in. He now claimed to be paid wages as being hired for a year. Ws wages were IL 12s. a week. Benjamin Price, the apprentice, proved that he was hound on the 7th of April; the complainant instructed him; and that he was now working with an elder appren tice, who received 245. a week. No journeyman had been taken in complainant's stead. There was only work for the one press which he worked. John Killingback, a master printer, the secretary to the Pressman's Union, deposed to the custom of the trade, which was, that when a boy Wai placed for instruc t= under a journeyman, it amounted to a tacit hiring for a year, at fixed weekly wages. It was forced by n.a.aters against the men to their annoyance. For in s.ar.ce, all the men at Norman's printing-office, in Kaiden-lane, struck fur some cause, but he forced one man to return back and do his work, because he had contracted to bring up an apprentice for one year, and to receive 21. 2 , a at the end of that time. Again, a clever hand desired to leave Mr. Whiting's, in Beaufort-build ing -a, in consequence of a dispute, but Mr. Whiting en forcA his return on the ground of having undertaken to teach an apprentice, and that being a hiring fur the y ear by the universal consent of the trade. The fact appeared to make a great impression on the mind of Mr. Alderman Hooper, who thought there should be a reciprocity of advantages as between masters and men. The foreman was called by the defendant to show that the complainant had spoiled some work, and from this the solicitor inferred Mr. Ward was at liberty to termi nate the hiring for incompetence. The solicitor for the defer tdant further denied that there was any such custom ; that if his client had assented to the contract the corn plain. ant proposed to him, or, that if there were such a cont; act, that it could not be enforced except by act i o lie proposed to call a number of masters to deny the custom. _ Mr. Wolfe proposed to call further evidence to prove the competence of his client to teach ; but Mr. Ward had employed Billing three months before he put him over the apprentice, and therefore knew beforehand that he was qualified. Mr. Alderman WOOD said he was not satisfied with the proof of the contract. It should have been reduced to writing, as it was of some importance, and then it could not have been alleged on one side and denied on the other. He thought he ought not to extend the Act to implied contracts and customs, especially where the custom was disputable. He regretted that the workmen continued to form unions which harassed the masters, and in the end produced no pecuniary advantage to the men, the expenses of maintaining the union counter vailing all the benefits. Free competition was the proper law to obtain the best recompense for labour. Mr. Alderman HooPza concurred in holding the proof of a contract to be insufficient, and the case was dis missed. BO W-STREET. The case of Mrs. H. H. Lomax, whose husband had been summoned by the parish-officers to show cause why he had refused to maintain his wife and child, was resumed before Mr. Henry. It will be remembered that the case had been ad journed from Saturday last to admit of inquiry being made as to the defendant's state of mind, and to enable Mr. James Lomax, the defendant's brother, to substan tiate his plea that his sister-in-law was an adultress, and had, therefore, no claim upon her husband, the evidence to this point submitted by him on the last occasion having been rejected by the magistrate as worthless. Mr. James Lomax, addressing the magistrate, said— Since the parties were last before the Court he had thought it better, to spare the family any further annoy ance, to advise his brother, the defendant, to allow his wife, for the support of herself and child, the sum of 6i. out of the allowance made to the husband, which sum he (Mr. James Lomax) had undertaken to pay monthly into the hands of Mr. Boswood, the relieving officer. Mr. Boswood—Mr. James Lomax waited on me, your worship, on Tuesday, and expressed his wish to settle the case if possible, intimating that he would allow ss. per week to be deducted from the husband's allowance for her sup port. I consequently submitted this proposal to Mrs. Lomax, who said it would be impossible to sustain her self and child during the winter months with less than 7s. 6d. per week. I then waited on Mr. James Lomax, at his residence, and he stated that he would withdraw all imputations upon her character, and admit her to be a respectable woman, if she would consent to his pro posed arrangement. Mr. HENRY (to Mrs. Lomax)—Have you heard any thing further respecting your claims since you were last here ? Mrs. Lomax—Yes, Sir. Yesterday two vulgar-look ing persons inquired for me at my apat tments, and on being admitted, asked me, in the most uncouth manner, if I would consent to take ss. per week or not? I askei whom they represented, and they at first said " General Lomax," then " Mr. James Louaax," and, lastly, they stated that they had been sent from the Strand Union. One of them wiLs very tipsy, and they both behaved in an insolent manner. I told them that their appearance was very much against them, and I declined to give tl,em any answer, remarking that the matter was now in the hands of the parochial authorities. In addition to this, I have been subject to every possible annoyance. I have been rudely stopped and insulted in the street, especially by one person, who met me returning from my mother's, in Regent-street, on Sunday evening last. Idu not know any of the parties by name, but should recognise them if saw them again. o f i Mr. HENRY—If y ou can asc ertain the name or address of any of them, I s h a ll b e ve ry happy to grant you a summons, to bring t h e m here. Mrs. Lomax s a id, that one person told her that he hearda houseMr.James fa t e max say that he had foilowtd her into Mr. James Lomax denied having ever said anything of the kind, and declared that he was not a party in any way to the annoyances which Mrs. Lomax had x perienced ; alihough, of course, he was not responsible for anything his brother (the defendant) might have done. Mr. HENRY —A s yet there has appeared no founda tion whatever, in the proceedings before me, for the charges made against her character. Indeed, I under stand from Mr. Boswood that the defendant's attorney has withdrawn every imputation of the kind, and admits her to be a respectable woman. Mr. James Lomax—Oh, I know nothing about her myself. I am willing to make my brother give her up five shillings per week; but I did not come here to de fend him. Mr. HENRY—I don't know whether you came here to derend him or not, but you said you appeared here as his attorney. Mr. J. Lomax—No, Sir ; I said I appeared to watch the case for the family. Mr. HENRY—Put I told you distinctly that you had no locus standi in that capacity, and must not take part in the proceedings; and you then said that you appeared as his attorney. Moreover, you stated that you could prove the charge of adultery against Mrs. Lomax, and you called two witnesses with that pretence, who failed to prove anything like it. Mr. J. Lomax—Why, I met a mart in the street to day _who said he could prove the fact. Mr. HENRY—You ought to know, Mr. Lomax, that this is not the way to impeach a woman's character. It is not right to insist upon so serious a charge from what some one has been merely heard to say. Mr. J. Lomax—l know nothing about it. I never in my lire imputed anything again:t her ; and as for the General, be has Bever seen her but once in his life. I'll do all I can to make my brother advance her ss. per week. My brother has only an allowance of IL per week, at d I think I have acted with the greatest liberality in m king him allow her ss. out of it. Mrs. Lom tx said her husband was allowed 255. per week duri ig the winter, and it was proved by the worr an at whose place he was living that his board and loeging only cost 13s. 6d. per week. She handed a letter to his Worship showing that her former allowance it as lOs. per week. Mr. J. Lomax said that the allowance had been re duced to IL, and that was all that would in future be paid. He thought it would be at once seen that, after paying }3s. 6d. out of it for his living, &c., and ss. to his wife, be would require at least Cie remainder for pens, ink, pcstage, and gloves, and other little articles of that kind. He begged to sl.ow the Court a letter, received from Mrs. Lomax some time back, in which she re quested him " not to let her husband know her address, as his violence would be the death of her." This, he submitted, was a clear proof that she left him, and not he her. Mrs. Lomax said, this was when her husband's state of mind compelled her to take shelter at her father's. Mr. HENRY remarked, that it was quite evident that " Fear" was the cause of her leaving him. He thought Mrs. Lomax was very much to be pitied, but her case was not free from difficulty. In the first place, there was a doubt as to her husband's being a sane man, which prevented his being sent to prison as a culprit. It also appeared that he had no means of living beyond that which his father allowed him, and which might be at any time stopped. But, on the other hand, the pa rish might proceed, under an old statute, against Gene ral Lomax for the support of his grandchild. He ad mitted that the sum of ss. was but a very trifling al lowance. His Worship inquired if the General was present ! Mr. Boswo —N° ' ' t you Sir think ; I Jr. J. Lomax — N o ; l am sure he will not. He has HENRY—lion been already so much vexed at having his name dragged cl 3. i 1 p r e . r week. ? before the public in this way by his son's wife, that I am confident he will do no more for her. Indeed, it has been a great trial for a man of his age, and he is quite ill ; and I myself have been extremely annoyed at this woman's going about and representing herself as Mrs. Lomax, knowing that my own lady is the only Mrs. Lo max recognised by the family. __• Mr HENRY—She represented herself here as Mrs. Henry Lomax, and surely her marriage has given her that right. lam quite prepared to send the husband to prison, if it can be proved that he is a sane man. Mrs. Lomax did not wish this course to be taken. She must try to make up a sufficiency for herself and chill Mr. Boswood—lt appeared to me, your worship, when in conversation with the General the other evening, that he was quite willing to pay the 1/. per week int) my hands, leaving the to divide it between the parties in the fairest manner for both. Mr. llENnv—Well, I think that is most desirable , and I should sugges t — Mr. J. Lomax—No, I am sure the General will not do that. Mr. HENRY—I must beg you, Sir , not to interfere at this stage of the proceedings. Pray sit down. I am glad to hear of this proposal, and am satisfied that it is the fairest for the wife; for then you will be enabled to pay her half the amount, or such sam as may be deemed satisfactory. If the General will give the parish officers liberty t o di v id e. the sum b etwee n the parties at their discretion, there will be no occasion to proceed further. Mr. Boswood—l think Mr. J. Lomax will bear me out in the accuracy of this statement respecting General Lomax. Mr. HE/my— There- is no occasion whatever for Mr. James Lomax to interfere, or be consulted about the matter. I will adjourn the summons until you have seen the General hi mse lf , an d you can take a summons re quiring his presence here, if necessary. I shall also re quire the defendant to be in attendance on the next occasion. The case was then. further adjourned to Saturday, to await the result of an application to General Lomax. THE CASE OF CAPTAIN LOMAX.—This case having been adjourned from Friday, in order to obtain the attendance of General Lomax, who was required to give evidence as to the allowance made by him to his son, came on again at two o'clack on Suturday afternoon. Mr. James Lomax again attended as attorney for his brother. Mr. Boxwood, the relieving officer, said that he had been unable to obtain an interview with General Lomax, but he believed he was unwell. Dr. Spurgier; the General's medical attendant, said that he was requested by him to attend professionally, and acquaint the magistrate with the state of his health. It was his opinion that it would not be safe for him to attend, as any excitement would now be very dangerous to him. Mr. HENRY was sorry to hear it ; but thoug h t the want of the G enera l' s evidence of no great importance in the case as it was already proved that the Captain had an allowance though the amount had not been proved. He thought, however, that some arrangement ought to be made to settle this matter without further litigation. The suggestion made by Mr. Boswood, that some allowance should be made by the General, and communicated through him, ought to be acted upon, and he hoped it would. If Dr. Spurgier (who said he Was, on infitruto terms with the General) would undertake to repr•-sent this to the General, and urge on him the propriety o' making some arrangemr nt, he (Mr. Hurey) would again adjourn the case in order to give him time. The Doctor agreed to this, and it was determined that the case should be adjourned till Monday. Mr. J. Lomax was about to say something here, but Mr. HENRY would not allow him. There could be no imputation on the character of Mrs. Lomax, and the attempt to make one on a former occasion had totally failed.—The parties then left the Court. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mrs. Brown, a married woman, living in Greece street, liathbone-place, applied for advice, under the following bald cireumstatces: —She said, a person called at her residence on Monday, with a child, giving the address of a neighbour who had referred to her as a nurse. The person left the child in the care of the applicant, and promised to allow her five shillings a week, and to return next morning with clothes. She wrote down her address on a piece of paper, but on going to the door she made a pretence of havin g left her handkerchief behind, and went back to get it. She then left, and has never been heard of since, and the address was missing immediately after her departure. Mr. HARDWICK sent an officer with her to St. Pancras Workhouse, that the parish officers might look into the matter. WORSHIP-STREET. William Weedham, who stated himself to be a working man, was charged by his wife Rebecca as follows : The wife of the prisoner said that her husband, who had twice before been committed from that office for his ill-usage to her, on Eriday afternoon called at her resi dence, No. 7, Fipp-street, Curtain-road, and where she had, for some time past, by industry and perseverance, managed to provide for her family, consisting of seven children, and without the slightest provocation on her part, he ran up stairs and with his fists broke ten panes of glass, being the whole of one window, with the ex ception of two panes. She had been separated from him for upwards of two years, but he had during that period several times not only annoyed her, but had threatened her life, and on one occasion he threw at her, through the window, a large stone, which struck her so violently in the stomach as to cause her to vomit blood. On another occasion he threatened to shoot her through the window, and on Fii 'ay, after having broken the win dow as above described, his hands being covered with blood, lie exclaimed to the witness with savage ferocity, Before this day month there will be a woful one for you." Witness asked if he meant to kill her? He re plied, " You will know it soon enough; I intend to im brue my hands in blood; and," added the witness, " un less something is done to prevent it, I feel assured that he will either murder me or do me some grievous bodily harm." Police-constable 331 G said that he came up near about the time stated, when he saw the prisoner, whrse hands were covered with blood, and who at once gave himself up. The prisoner, with inconceivable indifference, said that most of the representations of his wife were per- fectly true. Mr. BROUGHTON said that he should remand the pri soner for a few days, in order to give time for the pro duction of other witnesses, so that nothing may be wanting to make the case perfectly clear against him. A more barbarous and inhuman fellow perhaps did not Qxist. MARYLEBONE. Eliza Clarke, a very genteely dressed young woman, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long, charged with having, by means , of false and fraudulent representations, obtained goods from linendrapers, &c., and it is imagined that the prisoner has recently victimised tradesmen to a very considerable extent. At the station•house she stated to the inspector on duty that she was a dress maker, residing in the Strand. Mr. T. E. Erns, ;igh-strcet, Hampstead, deposed that on Wednesday afternoon last the prisoner came to his shop, stating that her mistress, Mrs. Collins, of Heath-street, required a shawl, and that she wished some to be sent for her to choose from. The (prisoner) selected four, remarking that she thought one of them would suit, and while he (prosecutor) was putting them up in paper he asked her how her master and mistress were, to which she replied that her master was always better in winter than at any other time of the year, and she also made some observa tions with respect to her mistress being a cross- tempered woman who could not bear to be contradicted. Believ ing that all was right, and having been in the habit of supplying Mrs. Collins with drapery, &c., he gave the prisoner the parcel containing the shawls, and she then went away, when, hearing nothing respecting The goods he had jparted with, he, after some time had elapsed, went to Mrs. Collins, from whom he ascertained that no one answering the description or the prisoner was in her service, neither had she authorised any person to call upon him for shawls or any other article on the day named. It further appeared that on Friday the prisoner also called at the shop of Mr. Naylor, in Hanby•street, Kentish Town, and asked for some plaid shawls for her mistress, a Mrs. Brown, of Hanby-place, to whom Mr, Naylor immediately applied, and, finding the statement was false, he followed the prisoner to Camden Town into the shop of a staymaker, and gave her into custody. The prisoner denied having been into either of the shops, and it being understood that other charges of a similar character would be brought forward against her, she was remanded until Thursday next. TRAM ES. PROSECUTION BY A LICENSED VICTUALLER.-ROber Clement, formerly an Excise officer, and lately a dock labourer, was charged by Mr. William Verey, Railway Tavern, Wellington-place, Commercial-road, with steal ing a suit of clothes. The prosecution was brought by the Poplar Licensed Victualler's Protection Society. The circumstances were as follows : The prisoner, who had been his customer for several months, called on him in August, saying he had ob tained a situation at Liverpool, and required the loan of 1/. 155., for which he offered to leave a suit of clothes as security. The temporary . accommodation was granted, and a . receipt given that they were to be retained till the money was repaid. Three months after the prisoner again called at his house, and, stating that he had a friend in the parlour who was ready to purchase the clothes, asked Mr. Verey to oblige him with them. Ho was afterwards discovered to have quitted the tavern with the clothes, which he pawned the same day for 18s. He was apprehended on the charge a week after. A discussion ensued between the counsel engaged as to whether the offence amounted to a larceny. Mr. Verey and his waiter were called, but they were both unable to say whether any one accompanied the prisoner or waited for him in the parlour. Mr. BRODERIP committed the prisoner for trial, re marking that Mr. Verey wished to proceed with the case as one of importance to licensed victuallers, and it was cne of that class of cases which it was best to I:ave to a judge to charge a jury, whether the prisoner took the clothes anima furandi or intentionally. DEATH OP THE REV. DR. TATTERSIIALL.—We regret to state that the Rev. Thomas Tattershail, D.D., the highly-respected and talented minister of St. Angus. tine's Church, Evertor], departed this life yesterday morning, after a severe illness of only four day. The Rey. Gentleman, much against the advice of his physi cian, preached, as announced, a sermon on Sunday morn ing last, in aid of the funds of the school connected with the church of which he was the minister, He was then suffering very much, and upon returning home was found to be labouring under a severe attack of inflammation of the kidneys. He retired to bed, and never rose from it again. Eminent as a scholar and divine, the deceased had also the good fortune to be eminently distinguished for his personal piety and private worth.—Liverpool Mercury, Oct. 30. CONSULTATION PER TELEGRAPH.—The services of the electric telegraph between Norwich and Shoreditch were put into requisition on Thursday in a novel man ner, being made the means of communication between a physician in London and his patient i❑ the former place. On Wednesday Dr. L--, a celebrated obstetric physi cian, was sent for from London to'attend a lady, lying there in a dangerous state on his return to town, leav ing instructions to the medical attendant to convey in. formation of the state of the patient the next morning by means of the telegraph. This was promptly done on Thursday morning, and the prescription was as promptly returned. This, it would appear, was repeated more than once, the services of the telegraph being continued for four hours. Unhappily the telegraph completed its communications by announcing the death of the lady. THE ATTEMPT TO MURDER MR. M'GILL.—We made inquiries yesterday morning as to the state of Mr. M‘Gill's health, and found that but little hope was then entertained of his recovery. At a late hour yesterday evening we caused further inquiries to be made, and were glad to hear that the report of the medical attend ant was more favourable. The answer we received at Mr. M‘Gill's house was, that he was very much better.— Manchester Times of Friday. _ —.— THE INUNDATIONS IN - FRANCE.—The administra tors of the Orleans and Bordeaux railroad have sent to the Paris journals an account of the injury occasioned to the road by the inundation of the Loire. The moment the destruction of the bridge of Vierzon became known, two of the directors, Baron Paul de Richemont and M. Barry, repaired to Tours, accompanied by Mr. Wood hou,e, the chief engineer of the line. The communica tion was still open ; but between Blois and Tours the river threatened to burst through its embankments, and, if that misfortune did not occur at Chousy and Ouzain, it was owing to the strenuous exertions of the inhabit ants, who, aided by the persons employed on the rail road, courageously laboured to strengthen them against the ravages of the inundation. Amboise is the place which suffered most. At ten o'clock, A.M., on the 22d, the small liver Cisse, which emptieth itself into the Loire below Vouvray, had already innndated the country between Vouvray and Amboise, and covered a portion of the line. A few hours afterwards, the Loire forced a passage through the embankment on a distance of 200 yards, rushed with fury against the road which runs under neath, destroyed the station-house of Amboise, and formed a lake of about 10 kilometres in extent. The road was there completely torn up ; the buildings and turning platforms were rendered unfit for use ; and the waggons carried to a great distance by the floods. The magnificent viaduct of Mont Louis, however, sustained no injury, and terminus at Tours, and the materiel con tained in the magazines of the company, escapt d without any damage. The administration had adopted measures to re-establish the communications as speedily as pos sible. They had not been interrupted between Orleans, Blois, and Ouzlin. From the 30th of October a regular service was to be organised as far as Limeray, whence steam-boats are to convey passengers and goods to Mont Louis. and the rest of the journey to Tours will be per formed by railroad. The administration expects to be able to repair the damage without being obliged to entail any new burden on the shareholders, the more so as it has a right to expect that the Government will consider itself bound to supply the funds for that object, in pre sence of so great a public amity.

THREE LIVES LOST. ASHTON-UNDER-LINE, OCT. 29.—0 n Thursday morn ing, a few minutes before six o'clock, this town was thrown into the greatest alarm, in consequence of the explosion of a steam-boiler at the cotton-mill of Messrs. Bayley and Dewhurst, Charlestown, which destroyed the whole of the adjoining perty, and caused the loss of three lives. So far as we have been able to ascertain, amidst the general confusion which this melancholy event has created, the following appears to be the facts : —The mill where this sad catastrophe has occurred, has, for a considerable length of time, been unoccupied, but was taken some months ago by Messrs. Bayley and Dewhurst, when considerable alterations were mace. and the mill was put into thorough repair. In addition to this was erected a strong fire-proof building, three stories high, which had been filled by machinery. and under which was the boiler which has caused such devastation. It seems that about five minutes to six o'clock, just as the engineer was on his way to start the engine, the boiler collapsed in that part which is over the fire, and caused an explosion which knocked down the entire building before referred to, and also partially destroyed several cottages both at the back and front of the factory. Such was the fore°, that the boiler, which is 26 feet long, and about 7 feet in dia meter, was completely capsized, being turned upon- its end, and falling the contrary way to its previous posi tion. Across the street opposite ,to where the boiler originally was, where a number of cottages which had been made into warehousing, for the purpose of storing the 'cotton, &c.; the windows in front of these buildings were forced in, and the embers from the fire - place being blown through, ignited the cotton and set fire to the buildings. The two fire-engines belonging to the town were quickly on the spot, and by dint of great exertion the fire was extinguished. In the mean time a number of men commenced to remove the fallen materials out of the street, when they found, opposite to where the boiler house stood, the dead bodies of a man named Abraham Fitton, a spinner, 42 years of age, and his daught er Emi line Fitton, a piecer, 13 years of age. These unfertunate creatures were passing in front of the boiler at the time the explosion took place, and were going to their work, being employed at the mill of Messrs. Knotts, which is in another part of the town. The bodies were dread fully crushed and scorched, the skin from the hands and arms hanging in tatters. They were taken Le the Nelson tavern, a public-house close by. On further search being made, the body of a female, named Islar garet Fitzgerald, eighteen years of age, who was tear ried three months ago, was found in the same woful plight, being quite dead. This woman was empiosed at the mill where the accident took place, and was about to enter the staircase when she was so suddenly deprived of life. The whole of the bodies presented a most shocking spectacle when taken out of the ruins. A re port was prevalent that there were several other p ersons missing, but after a careful search during the whole of the day, no other bodies were found. The hair-breadth escapes are innumerable. We may, however, mention one or two cases. The'first is that of a married woman, milled Milki Truin ; she had just got into the secon d room, over the boier, and when about to pull off her clothing to make ready for commencing work, the whole of tfico building was lifted by the boiler and fell in with a'tre mendous crash, the report being heard at the extreme ends of the town. Notwithstanding that this female fell along with the ponderous mass, and was buried for near an hour in the ruins, she was got out, having merely received a few bruises on her left side. The engineer, who was on his way to the engine -house at the tione-ot the occurrence, was partially screened from the failing materials by a portion of one of the floors having fell in a slanting direction under which he was. The cottages which surround this portion of the mill, to the number of four, were knocked down, and although in tw o o f them the inmates w e r e in bed, they escaped with but a few bruises, while the whole of their furniture, &c., was completely destroyed. In reference to the cause of this accident there are many opinions, but in the absence of any scientific investigation we forbear giving any defi nite state men t. Such waswthe feeling created when the report became known through the town that thousands of persons congregated, and it was found necessary to send for the military to guard the approaches to the place. The inquiry is fixed for Monday next, in order to give time for a scientific investigation of the whole affair. DEATH OF MR. J. F. WILLIAMS, R.S.A. We regret to announce the death of this distinguished land scape painter, which took place on the morning of Sa turday last, at the residence of a friend in Glasgow, where he had been on a casual visit. This event will 1. very generally regretted, both professionally and pri vately, especially among the literarycircles of the Scottish metropolis, where the deceased artist was well known and respected. Mr. Williams's reputation as a landscape painter rested chiefly on the beauty and truthfulness of his sea pieces, and his excellence in this respect was of so individual a character, and so generally acknow ledged, that we believe his death will leave a gap in Scottish art which it will nut be easy to supply. Ever since the establishment of the Royal Scottish Academy, his . ' pictures formed a conspicuous and at tractive feature in all its exhibitions at Edin burgh; and the fact of more than one of his productions having been purchased by the association no later than last year, showed that advancing age had not impaired his powers. Mr. Williams was, we believe, in early life, connected with the drama, both as an actor and a painter, and was contemporary with some distinguished orna ments of the stage. He was not more esteemed for his professional ability than for his private worth, and will long be remembered by an extensive and enlightened circle of friends, to whom his amiable manners and anecdotal powers rendered his society peculiarly inter estine and agreeable. Mr. Williams wa., we believe, in his 62d year.—Glasgow Herald.
