A s miff ABOUT BATTY, THE EQUESTRIAN. We have mentioned elsewhere the arrival, per the Achilles, of two camels from Smyrna. These were purchased through the agency of Mr. Hall, of the Oriental Company's office, for Mr.. W. Batty, the spirited proprietor of the Amphitheatre erected by him, at an expense of 30,0001., on the site of the building, formerly Astley's, destroyed by fire five years ago. Mr. Iran has a commission to purchase six more camels, and two elephants, for Mr. Batty, to take part in some of the Oriental specta cles got up at the Amphitheatre. The two brought home by the Achilles are Syrian camels, four years old, the female being in foal. They ara of moderate height, not reaching the full size till eight years old, and these being much less than the Arabian Proper, and much more so than the native Indian camel. The latterwill rise from the ground with a ton weight on his back! The cost of the Syrian camel is not more than 30/., but that becomes 1001. when freight and all charges are paid. They are collected in Syria, much in the same manner as horses in England, from breeders in particular localities, and are purchased from them at 101, or even less; but, of course, increase in charge according to breed and distance to he conveyed. Mr. Batty came down to Southampton to superintend the landing of the camels, and as his friend bugler has his circus in the town, he lent them for his public procession and for an evening's exhibition in the circle. The procession was rendered very imposing. A gaily-painted caravan, drawn by splendid co loured horses, contained a fine band, followed by lady and gentlemen equestrians on very fine horses, and the rear brought up by the camels, which were certainly the only symmetrical and elegant-looking animals of their species we ever saw, owing to their slender legs and beautifully curved necks ; the hump was not particularly protrube rant, and the body not dissimilar to a large red-deer. The colour was a pure fawn. Their attendants, being a couple of heavy Hampshire stable fellows, dressed in bed-curtain costume intended for Eastern, caused much fun. Finally, there followed two poneys, one of which was the smallest we ever beheld, about the size of an ordinary Newfoundland pup. We have mentioned above that Mr. Batty built his Amphitheatre at a cost of 30,0001. Of that sum he laid down 24,000/. cash of his own, and paid off the other 6,000/. very soon after wards. Besides that large sum in ready money, his stud and properties were very valuable. Yet Mr. Batty be gat business on his own account, not above twenty years ' sgn, with but 51, the hard savings of an apprentice to a riding-master in a travelling circus. his first decided advance from mountebanking (selling cloth and other goods by a species of lottery, the company being at tracted by the performance of a single horse in a circle in a field, now exploded) was in Southampton, where he " picked up " very considerably. One of his best bar gains for a horse at that time was with a late proprietor esf Bevois Mount. Even at that early time, when shil lings were of more account to Batty than pounds are, or at least need be to him, now, he conceived the idea of breeding for himself, and that a new patterned horse. He observed that the piebalds, and blotched, and be daubed horses were common, and with great judgment and good taste he selected the mare and sire of almost all his present stud, whose beautiful spots on a grey ground are as handsome as those of the leopard. The cost and privation in business which the acquisition of this stock caused for s.)nie years was very great, but the return has been enormous. We mention this fact as in dicative of Batty's foresight. We may add to this no tice, that ho set out in life with a determination to com pel people to respect him. Unlike many other travelling exhibitions, his accounts were always settled before he left the town, and those of his people also. He was, therefore, always welcomed back again. In his instance, as in many others of successful adventure in a precari ous profession, it will be found, on inquiry, that recta -Jude and perseverance have overcome every disadvantage oke original position.—H.mpshire Advertiser.

The fifty-fifth anniversary dinner of the Royal Mari time Institution, for relief of decayed master mariners, took place Wednesday evening at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. J. Thomson Hankey, jun., Esq., presided. The table was furnished with all the deli cacies of the season, and the wines were of the choicest vintage. Mr. Toole, jun., acted as toastmaster, and the hilarity of the evening was much promoted by the ex cellent glee-singing of Messrs. Hobbs, Hawkins, and Machin. The guests numbered about one hu ndred. The cloth having been drawn, and Non Noble Domine sung, The CHAIRMAN proposed the "Health of her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen," observing that he was sure the toast would meet with an enthusiastic reception in such a company as the present; for if there was any class of men who—without meaning offence to any other portion of the community—were pre-eminently distin guished for their loyalty to their Sovereign, it was the mariners of Great Britain.—(Hear, hear.) The toast was drunk with every demonstration of respect. The other loyal toasts usual on such occasions having been duly honoured, The CHaramax. proposed, " The Army and Navy," prefacing the toast with a few suitable observations, in the course of which he called attention to the fact of the day selected for that festive gathering being the ever glorious anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar.—(Hear, hear.) The day had been purposely selected out of com pliment to the seamen connected with the merchant service, who on that memorable occasion, now forty-ene years since, had discharged their duty quite as admirably and quite as effectively as the mariners serving in the royal navy.—(Cheers.) Lieutenant RODGERS, R.N., returned thanks. He had received the rudiments of his naval education in the merchant service, and owed his promotion in the royal navy, at an unusually early age, to that fact. He hoped that the mariners of both services would ever keep in mind Nelson's memorable exhortation on Trafalgar day, " England expects that every . man will do his duty." Amongst the duties of mariners he classed the obligation of contributing, as far as in them lay, to promote the interests of such institutions as the pre sent.—(Cheers.) Song by Mr. Machin—" The flag that braved a thou sand years." The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the London Maritime Institution," took occasion to allude briefly to the past history and future prospects of the charity. The institution had been founded so far back as the year 1792, and was princi pally indebted for its existence to merchants connected with the West India interest—an interest which, al though now comparatively insignificant, was then inti mately and extensively connected with our colonial rela tions, and indeed with our shipping interests generally, for almost every West India merchant was then a ship owner. The charity had been productive of the most beneficial results to many parties, and on referring to its books and records he was surprised to find how uumerous were the instances of men who had been themselves original subscribers being necessitated by the pressure of unforeseen adversity to appeal to its funds for relief in their hour of distress.—(Hear, hear.) He deeply re gretted to perceive how small was the number of perma nent annual subscribers. It was really lamentable to think that so few of those master mariners who traded regularly to the port of London should have entered their names on the subscription list; but he attributed it to th. fact of the existence of the society not being as generally known as it deserved to be.—(Bear.) He wc.3 sure the if it was generally known it would be generally patro nised, especially by seamen of the merchant service, fo' they were the cla-s whose interests would be &nest pro• muted by its prosperity. Ile could not mlti-stand ;los , any master mariner, of provident habits, who had any iiffect'on for his wife and family, could withhold 11;s sup port from such an institutior, and he hoped that when they became better acquainted with its merits, and were made more fully sensible of its claims upon their favour able consideration, they would be found more anxious ti. contribute to its welfare.—(hear, hear.) lie was in clined to think that some modification in the rules aim regulations of the institution, whereby the rate of sub scriptions and donations would he 1-osered,might perhaps Le desirable, hut this he only threw out as a hint to the cornmitte-e.—(Hear, hear.) Iu conclusion, he had onl. to say that the institution was one in which he felt, the liveliest interest, and he would always consider it i; duty inctitnhAit on him to promote its welfare as far in him lay.—(Cheers.) Mr. GEORGE F. YOUNG proposed the health of Li.. Chairman, to whose ex, rtions in behalf of the instil u;iue be alluded in terms of high eulogy. The toast was very cordially received. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks in appropriate terms. Mr. MOULDS proposed " Prosperity to the &idyl) Colonies."—(Cheers.) Mc. J. ALEX UNDER HANKET proposed the health of " The Elder Brethren of the Honourable Curoporation of Trinity House," coupling; the with toast the name of Captain Proben.—(Loud cheers.) Captein PaGPEN acknowledged the compliment, and observed that there was scarcely a member of the corpo ration who was not also an honorary member of the Ma ritime Institution.—(Cheers.) Tile corporation took the deepest interest in the prosperity of the institution. and would leave nothing undone that was at all practicable to ensure the stability of so intwresting and valuable a charity.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN proposed " The Shipping Interests of Great Britain." Mr. LYALL returned thanks. The health of the Stewards having been proposed and duly honoured, the company separated at eleven o'clock. In the course of the evening the Secretary (Mr. Wat son) announced that subscriptions for the year just Gntered on had been received to the amount of about 350/. Amongst the subscribers were the following : The Hon. Trinity Corporation, 105/. ; the Chairman, 10!. 10s.; a Friend of the Chairman, 10/. 103 ; J. Alex ander Hankey, 101. 103. ; Charles M`Gerrold, 51. ; S. Anderson, 5L ss. ; Captain J.

Crewkerne, of Trinity College, Dublin, a gentleman of high Church principles, has been appointed Vicar of this parish, in place of the Rev. G. Woodhouse, deceased. FIRE IN ROTIIERIIITIIE.—A fire broke out on Wed nesday morning, between 8 and 9 o'clock, in Rother hithe- street, which was likely to lead to serious conse quences. It took place at Gaston's turpentine establish ment, in the camphine house, by the bursting of one of the discharge pipes. The flames proceeded with such fearful rapidity as to annihilate everything in their pro gress. It was, however, happily arrested by the active and energetic assistance of the people in the neighbour hood, who bravely plied the engines of the Commercial Dock Company. Much injury had not beers sustained. SINGULAR AND FATAL ACClDENT.—Wednesday an inquest was taken by William Carter, Esq., at the. Farm House, Stumble Hole Common, Horley, Surrey. on the body of Benjamin Harman, aged 14 years. The deceased was a servant in the employ of Mr. Oxley, of Dean Hope Farm, Horley. On Monday last the deceased had been to a distant meadow to fetch a drove of sheep back to the farm house, and on the way home he had to pa- s a bridge across Dean Hope Brook, at the foot of which was a pond of water which covered the roadway, caused by the recent heavy rains. The deceased, on reaching this spot, found that the sheep refused to pass through the water. The deceased, after a few minutes' con sideration, seized one of the sheep, with the view of dragging the poor animal through the pond, which was only a few inches in depth, thinking the others would follow it, and, whilst struggling with the sheep, he fell over the end of the bridge into the brook. His brother, who was standing by, raised an alarm, and endeavoured to save him, but the current was so strong, that it carried him some distance down the brook, where he disappeared. Search was made for the body, but it was not found for upwards of two hours. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." THE JOCKEY' CLUB AND THE NEWMARKET AND CHESTERFORD BAlLWAL—Wednesday a vary full meet ing of the members of the Jockey Club took place, at which the following resolutions were passed :—" The directors of the Newmarket and Chesterford Railway Company having at a special meeting, convened for the purpose on the 18th day of October, 1846, laid before the stewards and members of the Jockey Club, the plans and sections of the proposed extensions from Newmarket to Thetford, and from Newmarket to Bury, with a branch to Ely, and the same having been duly examined and considered, it was resolved unanimously that the plans and sections of the railway from the Newmarket station eastward are very preferable to any that were submitted to the Jockey Club last year, and are ap proved accordingly. That the Newmarket and Chester ford Railway Company are entitled to, and will receive, the support of the Jockey Club in proceeding to Parlia ment for the above extensions, in preference to any other company, both because the Newmarket and Ches terford Company have most satisfactorily carried on and are prepared to further carry out the views of the club in obtaining the Act for the lines from Chesterford to Cambridge and Newmarket ; and because, as it appears to this meeting, there is no other company having so legitimate a claim to the extension, or in whose hands they could be so safely and beneficially entrusted." SALE OF AN ESTATE IN SURRST.-- On Tuesday was disposed of by auction, at the Auction Mart, by Messrs. Winstanley and Co., a freehold estate situated in the parishes of Crainhurst and Tandridge, Surrey. It was about twenty-four miles from London, and com prised the mansion, with several farms, and 47.5 acres of meadow pasture, arable and wood land, realising an in come of about 630/, per annum. There was also a corn tnuted rent charge inclu led, from nearly the whole re inainder of the parish of above 1,400 acres. It produced, after an active competition, 16,750/. MATENC E.—RELIGIOUS TOLERATION.—We learn from the Univers Israelite, that the Israelites of that city have just sustained a heavy loss in the death of Rabbi Leo Olinger. The deceased rabbi, a man of the old school, was beloved by ill the members of the commu nity ; and by his amiableness, his influei ce, and his se:Jacity, he prevented the ard,nt conflicts which, et!mer towns of Gerinsey, separate thLi orthodox from the refomi party. The funeral of the deceased rabbi furnished a rare example of religious tolerance. Among the pro cession following the venerable Jewish ecclesiastic to the grave ; were the heads of the Catholic and ProteAant clergy ; Bishop Kaiser, of the former, and Dr. None 4 , weiler, Archdeacon of the latter. RUSSIAN AMMUNITION.—We have on previous oc casions mentioned tho arrival of shots and shells from the Russian Ports of Odessa into this country. Another arrival of this kind has just taken place, consigned to a private individual, by the vessel named the Mary Isabella, which has mitered the London Docks, also from Odessa, having 3,419 shells and shot on board. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, October 21. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) B. LOUIS MEYER ROTHSCHILD'S BANKRUPTCY. The bankrupt, who was one of the parties failing during the numerous stoppages in the jewellery trade last year, including Messrs. Emanuels and other wealthy firms, appeared to-day before the Court on the question of certificate. He is described as a diamond merchant, carrying on business in Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn- fields. His debts amount to about 8,0001., and his liabilities to about 7,0001., while his assets have realised about 3,5001. Mr. Sturgeon opposed for Mr. Jessel, one of the as signees, and Mr. Lawrance for several other creditors. Mr. Cooke supported the bankrupt. The ground of opposition pursued by Mr STURGEON chiefly referred to the suspicious nature of a transaction with a person now abroad, named Schlessinger, and ex cessive expenditure. Mr. Sturgeon also charged the bankrupt with having previously been unfortunate at Copenhagen, and not trading under the same name as he was now known by in London. Mr. LAWRANCE took up the question of stock, and ar gued when the bankrupt passed his last examination. The Learned Gentleman contended that if the account of stock was correct the bankrupt's profits were over-rated, and did not warrant his expenditure, whilst such pur chases as those involved in the statement of 6,5001., which now prodnced little more than 3,0001., proved him a reckless trader. On the other hand, if the account of stock was incorrect, then there was good ground for believing that fraud had been committed. In either case, the bankrupt could not hope to get his certificate imme diately, seeing the doubtful and suspicious circumstance connected with his failure. The bankrupt was then examined. He still persevered in adhering to a statement he made at a private sitting, of having parted with a considerable amount of property under threat to Schlessinger, at the time of the " great panic" in the jewellery trade. Explaining the allegation of passing under an alias when in Denmark, he swore that his proper name was Rothschild, though he did not take it up till he came to England. His business in Copenhagen was carried on in the name of Meyer. He failed there as a linendraper, having originally been in a mercantile house. When he first came to London he purchased Manchester goods on commission, and after a little time began" to dabble" in precious stones. At first his dealings were very trifling. They afterwards in creased, and in progress of time he turned his attention selely to the trade. By Mr. CoonE—His creditors in Copenhagen were quite satisfied with his conduct. His assets at first paid 12s. in the pound, and he had since discharged the other Bs. (A Hainburgh paper was here produced, with an official notice on the subject, dated January, 1844.) It was a satisfaction to him to be able to state that his na tive creditors since his arrival in London had consti tuted him their agent. his present failure was owing to the general difficulties of the jewellery trade last year, when Messrs. Emanuels and other houses sus pended payment. A question was mooted respecting certain moneys paid to two of the assignees shortly before the bAnkruotcy, and which was alleged to be the reason of their sikne( in the present occasion. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE said he was perfectly sarisfi-d that those payments were correct, and the as sertion made no impression on his mind. Atter a lengthy and able address from Mr. Cooxr, who went through the charges seriatim, characterising the ipposition as ♦indictive in the extreme, and unsanc iioned by the body of the creditors. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE said, the most serious dlegation made against the hmikrupt rose from the ex raordinary discrepancy occurring in the amount which 'le stated he paid fur his stock and the value put upon tby c..mptent persons. The bankrupt stated that his .to k cost him about 6.5001. Some pArticular cre dtors, to whom the stock was submi'ted, valued it at 1,8001. Arothe - :" party, Mr. fllogg, who was represente.l o have exterviin exprit nee in the trade, th6nght that :fit were brought to public sale the stock would not .ealise more that'. 3.60 a, although, when examined, hu n'haitted that lfJ or 15 per cent. might be added to that imount. This extraordinary depreciation led to a sus• icion that the rtock was not actually the same as that 'knight, it being possible to conceive that with things of so great a value in a little space, it would be exceedingly ~isy to substitute other stones of different value, colour, fracture to mske appearanc,s favourable. The bank .upt had ben subjectid to severe examination in ord,r o ascertain whether such substitution had or had not :alcen pl-ice, and he (the Learned Commissioner) rlt hotn.d to sa', from %hat had been elicited it violence, that ho believed no substitution had been nade. So far La exonerated the bankrupt from that _:ilarge. But in -_owing to the conclusion that t o sub ,iitution had be*:7. made, and to account for the extraor Ituary diff :relief; in value which appeared in the stock, he (the Commissioner) was inclined to believe that the -xplanation given by one party during this inquiry had erne weight in it., viz , that the bankrupt having the elvantage of a largo stock took out the best stones and eild them, so that the stock as it came into tho hands of she assignees war not a fair sample of what it had been, but was merely the refuse of stock after the best had been parted with. It had been stated before the Court hat, with the exception of a few articles, such as manu . lictured cameos arid other jewels, which varied in value according to fashion, the several kinds of stone. Arero not liable to great fluctuation. It therefore re ,ulted from that conclusion, that the statement or profit m the bankrupt's balance sheet was not a fair one. ind insutii.iieni to jastify his expenditure. The next very important feature was the transaction with .i.:l;lessinger. This was a most sin;ular affair, though 't was corroborated in a measure by a party who had ix , en examined. The bankrupt's wife, it must be re .narked, had given her testimony on this subject with !;r*at firmness and propriety ; and, had corroborative ,vidence not been aft ,rd,ml in explanation, he (the Com missioner) should have regarded it as being one of these 'abrieated romantic tales of burglaries, omnibus rob treries, and highway losses, sometimes resorted to by bankrupts for balancing deficiencies or concealing pro party. The story told concerning Schlessinger was very iinrobable, but still there were circumstances about the ease which induced him (the Commissioner) to believe that the bankrupt had not forged it ; but, while acquit ting him of that crime, he must say the bankrupt had been very negligent and most culpably guilty in suffering -s man to commit, according to his statement, all but felony, without seeking the aid of the police. That he should have parted with his property without at first discovering that the receipt was not signed, and also That, for the purpose of covering fraud, it was ante dated, betrayed most exceeding negligence on the part of the bankrupt, who knew at the time that he could not meet his creditors. The fact of the project of the 1,0001. being abandoned by the very transaction, and the logs of jewellery which he must have expected, if sold by Schlessinger in Paris, would not be paid by him, but used by Schlessinger for his own purposes, must have convinced the bankrupt that his position could not be improved by the circumstance. Such gross and cul pable negligerce as was herein exhibited gave grave cause for suspicion; and though he (the Commissioner) would not go to the extent of saying that he acted in collusion with Schlessinger, still it was approaching in ' nature a fraud, and for such negligence he (the Com missioner) would have severely punished the bankrupt, only he found that in his other conduct he had dealt very fairly. The majority of his creditors seemed in a manner to sympathise with his position. The few op posing creditors had failed to make out a strong case against him. lie had delivered up what property he possessed; and it was tested by the certificate of a person who investigated the subject, that in all instances tried by way of experiment he did actually pay for his stock the price ho named. His negligence, with the question of expenses and profit, were the only points he (the Commissioner) thought worth anything in considering the act of punishment. On these he should suspend his certificate for nine months from the time of the bank rupt's passing his last examination. .Mr..Cooxi . applied to his Honour for the bankrupt's protection. Mr. Commissioner FONIILANQUE said he would allow the protection, as there was no fraud. The certificate was suspended on the grounds of culpable negligence in suffering the robbery (for it could be called little less) by Schlessinger to take place, and his expenses exceeding what the Court considered his fair profits. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 23, 1846 DOMINIQUE 0. MORELL'S BANKRUPTCY. The bankrupt in this case was a surgeon-dentist, carrying on business in Langham-place. He also applied for his certificate. His debts (including those secured) are nearly 4,0001., but the assets arc very small, and will scarcely pay the expenses of the fiat. He was opposed by Mr. Stafford, and supported by Mr. Cooke. The question involved was the conduct of the bank rupt in disposing of certain furniture to Mr. Wyan, of Highgate, consisting of a lady's ,wardrobe, and other articles necessary for a bed-room, in satisfaction of a dishonoured bill of 501., and also in deferring the pay ment of a small bill of 221., to a Mr. Lemale, when, ac cording to his banker's book, he had paid larger sums to other parties. These circumstances were laid before his Honour as substantiating charges of fraudulent prefer ence in contemplation of bankruptcy. The bankrupt's version of the affair, supported by the argument of Mr. Cooke was, that Mr. Wyan having taken a ladies' school in the neighbourhood of Highgate, Mrs. Morell, being highly educated, undertook the ma nagement, and this furniture was removed for her ac commodation. Mr. Wyan having made some advances to the bankrupt, and the bill for 501. given for these ad vances being dishonoured, the goods were accepted in satisfaction of that demand. The bankrupt declared the removal was not in contemplation of bankruptcy, for he was at the time negotiating the sale of his business, which, if it had been completed, would have satisfied all his creditors. With respect to the bill due to Mr. Lernale, the bankrupt said he had offered 121. and paid the attor ney's costs; but Mr. Lemale would hear of no arrange ment. A charge of extravagant expenditure was entered int 6; but Mr. Cooke, besides endeavouring to show that a variety of items were introduced which ought not strictly to have appeared under that head, claimed the iadul . 4ence of the Court for a professional man's position wki(.n combating with difficulties in his pursuits. If Mr. Morell was socr•essful in business again, he would wit- I;ngly pay the whole of his creditors. Mr. C FONTBLANQUE —l/1 you make that a condition in the reu-ipt of your certificate? We COOKE—We will, certainly, to the extent of 10s. in the pound. Mr. Commissioner. ForinnANQuE—Yes, and I think you kid better get back that furniture. You must do that before I take the certificate into consideration. I shall make it a rule in all eases where Professional men come 'before me—whether rtirgeon-dentists, apothecaries, or attorneys—to import a condition into their certificates. In all those cases where capitol is in the hands or in the brain it will be necessary to d'.) so, because such persons, I find, are constantly failing, and as they carry their capital with them they are perfectly free, after they ob tain their certificate. It seems that the bankrupt, by his banker's book, did pay a larger sum to another cre ditor at the time Mr. Letnale's bill was due. An explanation was about to be given on this subject, but Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE said he should not pronounce judgment at present, but would allow the bankrupt a fortnight to see what he would really propose. both with respect to the furniture and provision for his creditors. SHERIFFS' COURT, October 22. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCUELL.) CANNON V. MYERS. The plaintiff in this action is the landlady of the White Horse, Ray-street, Clerkenwell, and the defendant is a rag merchant and Government contractor. The action was brought to recover the sum of 3L Os. Bd. for ale, beer, &c., alleged to have been supplied by the order of the defendant. The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted. Mr. WAKELnici stated the plaintiff's case, from which it appeared that in April last, the defendant had an ap peal at the Middlesex Sessions, and had a great maay witnesses on his behalf. On that occasion defendant went to the plaintiff's house, and asked whether a room had not been engaged by persons of the name of Nathan and Lazarus for his (defendant's) witnesses? and on being answered in the affirmative, he said his witnesses were to have what they required, for which he would settle. Miss Ellen Cannon was called, and gave evidence as to the supply of the articles, and that defendant distinctly gave the orders. There were between thirty and forty witnesses. After the case was over, defendant went and " stopped the supplies." On the bill being given, he said he did not believe so much had been supplied, and he would not believe it if Mrs. Cannon swore till she was black in the face, but he would go round to the witnesses, and if their account agreed with it he would pay, but he had never done so. Frederick Miller was called, and also deposed to the defendant having stopped the supply after the appeal, and that he said he would call in a day or two and pay. Mr. SIDNEY for the defendant, contended that it was highly improbable such an unlimited order would have been given, and said that Nathan and Lazarus ought to have been called if they were clerks or agents of the defendants. _ . Siviers, wine and commission agent, Stepney, was called, and swore that he went with defendant after the appeal was over and saw Lazarus behind the bar, and defendant was told that he had ordered what had been supplied. Defendant said that Lazarus might pay, he would pay what he had then, and they had refreshment to the amount of 7s. The bill was tendered to de fendant, but he would not pay. Other witnesses were called, but, . . The UNDER-SHERIFF said, all the witnesses went to prove the plaintiff's case, and asked whether Mr. Sidney intended to call Lazarus? Mr. SIDNEY replied in the negative. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF asked the jury whether they entertained any doubt; if not, it would be. unneces sary for the plaintiff to reply? The jury said they had not, and returned a verdict for the amount claimed. There were only four cases in the list, and the others were not of the slightest interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Maria Donald was placed at the bar charged with stealing a purse containing 19s. and some trinkets from a gentleman named Gooiyer, in Farringdon-street, on Monday evening. When the case was called on the prosecutor was not in attendance, and the Alderman, Sir Peter Laurie, having ascertained that the prisoner was not known to the police. and certainly was not one of the females who infest the streets of the City, strongly censured the con duct of the prosecutor in omitting to come forward to substantiate the charge, said, that in consequence of the statement of the police, he was disposed to think that the prosecutor was mistaken. Whilst the magistrate was speaking, Mr. Goodyer came into Court, and having apologised for his un avoidable delay, and declared that he had no intention of abandoning the charge, of the truth of which he was perfectly convinced, he said that on Monday evening, at seven o'clock, as he was passing through Farringdon street, the prisoner accowed him, and asked him the way to Bride-lane. As he was giving her an answer le was hustled by two "gentlemen" so violently that his " breath was taken away," and in the meantime the pri scaler abstracted his purse fro►n his great coat pocket, and ran off. Ou Wednesday evening he met . her on Blackfriars-bridge, and gave her into custody. The prisoner denied the charge, and referred for her character to the person. with whom she resided, and to the tradesmen for whom she worked. After hearing the inspector of police and other con stables, as well as the friends of the prisoner, the magis trate dismissed the case. BOW-STREET. A cabman named Sidney Kersey, was charged before Mr. Hall with being concerned in stealing a watch and chain from the person of a gentleman, whose name we did not hear. The prosecutor said that on Wednesday night he was at a public-house in Long-acre, and seeing the prisoner with his cab opposite the door, he offered to hire him, but the prisoner said he would not take him, as he was en gaged. Witness then went away, but had not got far from the shop when he was met by some women, who laid hold of biro, and attempted to seize his watch. Witness pushed them away, but the prisoner, who had followed him from the cab, caught him by the arm and held him while the women robbed him of his watch and chain. Witness was not quite sober, but he was per fectly collected, and able to know what passed. The prisoner called in his defence a witness, who said that he and a friend took the cab in Barbican, to drive to L mg-acre, when they stopped at the public-house to get change, and give the prisoner his fare and some thing to drink. The prosecutor was there, very drunk, and was twice turned out by the landlord, and he offered to take the prisoner's cab, but the prisoner refused to drive him. The prosecutor went away, and the prisoner returned with witness and his friend to the public-house, where he remained for some time. The prosecutor, after some time, again came into the public-house, and charged the prisoner with stealing his watch. Witness told him he must be mad to make such a charge against a man who had been in the public-house ever since he himself left it, and was there at the time he said he was robbed. The prosecutor, however, insisted on giving the prisoner in charge. The other witness corroborated this statement. Policeman F 53, who took the prisoner into custody, said that he and his witnesses were sober, but the pro secutor was drunk. Mr. Ham. said there was no foundation for the charge, it ought not to have been made, and the prisoner ought not to have been taken into custody. If the prisoner chose to bring an action for false imprisonment he would be pretty sure to get heavy damages. UGdf boy , - -S f T o ß m w as a gig, The prisoner said he would do so, for it was a ver y hard case. MARLBORO EET. John charged this morning and a pair ofleather soles. said he drove up on Wednesday night about a q uar t er be fore seven o'clock to a house in Jerreyn-street.

James Macmillan, 104, Gerard - street, said th e d e • fendant, his errand-boy, had been sent up to C arna b y - street, on business, some hours before this took pl ace . 4rr, great : t coat Edward.squa re , K ens i ngton, n The pair of leather soles found on the boy, he said, were his property, and had not been given him. Just before leaving the boy made a pretence of going down to wash his hands in the cellar, where the soles could be found, and no doubt had taken them then. The prisoner said he knew nothing of the coat what ever ; but as to the soles, he said they were his master's, which he had been induced to take by one of the work. men, who meant to put them on his own boots. Mr. Mummt said, as the coat had not been dis covered he would remand the boy till this day week. MARYLEBONE. The lad Callaghan, whose case was remanded on a charge of pigeon stealing, was again brought before Mr. Long. Mr. Courtney, of No. 9, Finchley-road, was satisfied that the birds in the possession of police-constable Grant, 63 S, were his property, and Martha Ballenger, residing at 3, Finchley-road, de posed to havi ing to M r . c t , • dtake each a pigeon our nay s premise y s, an ng see n f our b os go over the wall belong from a coop. The boy having confessed to the robbery was com mitted for trial. of his emp l oyers. SOUTHWARK. pro .i p a e m r , ;8 Si mmons, a p orter i n t h e employ of Messrs. Turner, hair de a l ers, L eadenhall-street , City, was placed at the bar, char ge d w i th stealing a quan tity o f hair, the Burton, a consta b le of the M division, sa id t h a t on th e previous evening he was on duty in Bermondsey-street, when h e saw the prisoner enter a marine store dealer's with a bundle under his arm. He followed him in, and saw him produ ce f rom the bundle a quant ity o f h air, which he offered for sale; but the shopkeeper refused to make any purchases. Suspecting the property to be stolen, he (the officer) questioned him respecting it, when IT ascertained i t h ad been stolen from t h e ware h ouse o f his frnployers. He accordingly took him into custody. The hair was identified by o ne of the complainant's men, who had c li pped it from various heads. A clerk in th e same employ said, the prisoner had bout three years, and the utmost confidence was r eposed in him. His employers, how been in their serv i ce ever, had no wi s h to press the charge as the prisoner had a wife and family dependent u pon his exertions. Mr. SECKE R sa i d he could not overlook the prisoner's con luct. Ile had been guilty of a serious crime, which would have caused him to have been transported had the prosecutor desir e d hi m to commit him for trial. lie 1 sheuld, under the circumstances, s entence him to three months' imp r i sonment. W 0 RSI-HP-S T RE R7'. A middle-ag e d man, named John Lacy, was placed at the bar, before M r. Broughton, charged with b ruta ll y asstuiLl ' g his wife Ann L acy , an d a l so se riously injuring police-constable Townshend, of the K division, with a poker, ‘ whilst ass i st i ng in his apprehension. Townshend, who bore manifest marks of severe treat ment, stated that whilst on duty in Bethnal-green-road, about ten o'clock at night, the prisoner's wife ran up , ll bo ce i d it ing prof use l y from adreadful wound in her head, which she stated had been inflicted by her husband with a poker, and c l a i med his protection. The woman was in a fainting condition, and witness assisted her to the house of a neighbou r i ng surgeon, who pronounced the injury to be of a very ser i ous description, and d i rected her removal to the hospital. Witness then procur“l the assistance of two other offictrs, and with them proceeded to the house, and was making his way up the stairs, when he was met by the prisoner on the landing, brandishing a poker, and threatening to destroy the first person who approached him. Witness and the other constables made a simultaneous rush upon him; but the witness, who was in advance of the others, was instantly struck by him a tremendous blow of the poker on the crown of his head, which sent the blood pouring down over his eyes, and brought him to the ground, and the prisoner still continued beating him with the weapon until he was dragged away by the other officers and carried to the street door. The witness added, that so desperately did the prisoner lay about him with the poker, that the con stables were twice forced down the stairs by him, and that it was not until he had himself been injured and disabled with their truncheons in defending themselves, that he was at length overpowered, and conveyed to the station. The witness was positive that the prisoner was perfectly sober. Police-constable Riley, 304 K, generally corroborated the last witness, and stated that he had also been struck by the prisoner witk the poker, and that on afterwards entering the man's room he found a large quantity of blood upon the floor, which had issued from the wound in the wife's head previous to her escape into the street. The prisoner admitted striking his wife, but not in the desperate manner deposed to, and said he had done so in a moment of excitement, produced by a quarrel be tween them. Fie expressed his regret, also, for his at tack upon the police, and acknowledged that he merited any punishment he might receive for it. The wife, a decent-looking woman, but evidently very ill and in a state of exhaustion, when called upon for her testimony, commenced an apology for her husband's ill usage, declaring that he had previously been a very good husband to her, and notwithstanding she was reminded by the Magistrate of the brutal treatment she had re ceived at the prisoner's hands, which she admitted, said she freely forgave him for it, and positively refused to give evidence against him. Mr. BROUGHTON told her that, however forgiving and commendable her feelings might be towards her hus band, her refusal would not have the effect of shielding him wholly from punishment, as the attack upon the police had been proved to be of a most outrageous de scription, and totally indefensible, and he would cer tainly be punished for that offence, even if lie escaped from the other ; but as the case, in its present stage, could not be concluded that day, he should order him to be brought up again in a week, for the completion of the evidence against him. Joseph Davis wss brought before Mr. Bingham, the sitting magistrate, charged with attempting to commit self-destruction. Police-constable 323 N, stated that at about 10 o'clock on Wednesday night he was on duty in the district near the Regent's Canal, when he observed the defendant deli berately mount the parapet of the bridge, and•precipitate himself therefrom into the water, before witness could possibly reach him. The drags were obtained, and the defendant was got out alive. Medical aid was al'o speedily obtained, and proper nourishment having been administered to the defendant, he was cot veyed to the station-house. Witness added that ho had since seen a brother of the defendant, who is in good circumstances, and who appeared well disposed towards the latter. Mr. BINGHAM enquired whether the brother was will ing to receive the detendant ?—Defendant replied that he had no doubt of it. Mr. BINGHAM, in an animatud but feeling wanner, animadverted upon the awful situation from which he had so providentially escaped plunging himself into. He should detain him until the arrival of some of his family. LAMBETH. A young man named William Durant, who held some subordinate situation at Addington Park, Surrey, the country residence of his Grace the Archbishop of Can terbury, was placed at the bar before Mr. Ellott on a charge of robbing his most reverend master. Mr. Roger, an inspector of the L division, deposed, that about ten o'clock on the night before, while he was on duty at the Tower-street station-house, the prisoner and a woman ❑amed Sarah Wall came there, and Cie former said he had been robbed of 55., at a house kept by the latter, in Buckle's-buildings, Waterloo-road. The woman expressed her doubt of his having been robbed, but said that on searching the room in which he had been she found seven duplicates, which she accord ingly delivered up to him. Witness asked the prisoner for a sight of the duplicates, and on examining them he observed that they referred to property similar to sonic that had been stolen from Addington Park, the resi dence of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury. On making this discovery, witness told him he should detain him on a charge of stealing the property ; upon which the prisoner, after a few moments' hesitation, exclaimed Well, I did (I.) it, and I don't care a d—n ; I may as well be transported as not." Mr. W. Humphrey, house steward to the Archbishop of Canterbury, deposed, that on Monday morning last it was discovered that in the course of the preceeding night the house had been broken open, and various arti cles of property carried off. Witness could identify the workbox and other articles then produced as a part of the missing property. Mr. Matthews, a pawnbroker in the Princess-road, Lambeth, produced two taper candlesticks, and a bronze image, which the prisoner pawned at his house on the Monday, representing them to be his own property. The prisoner also pawned his coat with witness on the same day. Mr. ELLIOTT here asked if there was any further evi dence, when Sergeant Goff replied in the affirmative, and put in the witness-box a woman named Keys, who keeps a coffee-house in Lambeth-walk. This witness deposed, that the prisoner had slept at her house on Monday night, and left there a bundle, containing a pair of silver candlesticks and other articles, a workbox, and other things, then produced. The prisoner, who declined saying anything, was remanded. SINGULAR AND EXTENSIVE W)BBERT. ABINGDON, BERKL—An investigation has been going on for the last week into one of the most extraordinary wholesale thefts that can have drawn the attention of the public at any time ; and the peculiar circumstances of the case altogether, in the number of persons impli cated and great extent of property stolen, as well as the long period in which the system has successfully operated, is the theme of wonder throughout the county. By an accidental circumstance occurring during the transit of some of the stolen goods through the farm of Mr. John Badcock, near Abingdon, the suspicions of the local authorities were aroused, and an inquiry was set on foot which has led to the impeachment and con sequent incarceration of no less than seventeen persons who are stated to have been more or less concerned in the matter. During the last two years, as appears by the confes sion of one of the prisoners, upwards of one hunched quarters of malt have been stolen from various malt houses and warehouses in the town, together with a large quantity of hops, amounting to many pockets; and the precautions taken by the thieves have been so well concerted and carried out that no loss of any conse quence appears to have been discovered. On Saturday, the 11th, the mayor, Mr. E. J. Trendell, with the magistrates for the borough, Mr. W. D. Bel cher, Mr. John Hyde, and Mr. J. Tomkins, were occu pied the whole of the day in hearing evidence, and have since then been engaged no less than four days, with Mr. Frankum, the clerk, in thoroughly investigating the facts, and their exertions throughout have been most in defatigable. The inquiry is still going on, and so varied are the details—that is, so many separate thefts have to be spoken to—that it remains now problematical as to when final committal will terminate the proceedings be fore trial. The question that may naturally suggest itself as to the vigilance of the local police is easily set at rest by the assertion that almost all the malt, hops, or corn have been transported by water, the river runn in g round the very buildings of the town. The confession of the principal offender is most volu minous as well as astounding in character, involving the disclosure of robberies to a vast amount of money. In the present state of the investigation it is impossible to arrive accurately at the quantity of malt , &c., as further disclosures will doubtless lead to other quan tities being discovered. Miss Spenlove, brewer, has been the principal loser of the malt and hops, but others in- the town are sufferers from the robberies. Three or four hundred separate cases of felony have been admitted by three of the prisoners. THE CITY BLOCKADE.—Wedn@sday, the Commis sioners of Sewers gave notice that the thoroughfare of Newgate-street would be stopped during the repaving that street, immediately on the completion of the paving in Cheapside. At the Essex Quarter Sessions at Chelmsford on Wednesday, W. Clare and P. Quinlan, the engine driver and stoker of the Firefly engine, which caused the serious and fatal accident at the Stratford station of the Eastern Counties Railway in July last, surrendered, in pursuance of their recognisances, to take their trial for the misdemeanour under Lord Seymour's Act. The grand jury having returned a true bill against them, Mr. Parry, their counsel, applied for a postponement of the trial till next sessions. The application was ordered to stand over for further consideration. ACCIDENTS YESTERDAY MORNING.—At about half past nine yesterday morning, Mary Evans, a servant-girl in the employment of a family, residing in Stamford street, Blackfriars-road, met with a frightful accident. It appears that she had been directed to clean the windows of one of the upper rooms of the house, and whilst doing so she overbalanced herself and fell below with a fearful crash. A surgeon was immediately in attendance, but for some time every effort to restore the poor creature was without success ; ultimately, however, his exertions had the desired effect. She is at present in a very dan gerous condition, and is scarcely expected to survive the occurrence. Henry Jones, a lad about twelve or fourteen years of age, early yesterday morning was run over by a cab proceeding at a rapid pace along the Strand towards Charing-cross. He was picked up immediately, and it was found the wheel of the vehicle (the patent Hansom, No. 372) had passed over the thighs of the unfortunate youth, but the chief wound was a fracture at the back part of the head, inflicted in the violent fall. The acci dent happened immediately opposite the Lowther Bazaar. An occurrence of a similar nature, but hap pily of less dangerous consequences, oecurred to a child named Watson, in the Waterloo-road, near the bridge, shortly afterwards. Great blame being attached to the driver of the cab, he was stooped and his !mintier taken. Yesterday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, as a respectably-attired person was seated at the extreme point of one of the Watermen (late Greenwich) steam boats, he fell overboard, and but for the promptness and praiseworty exertions of the captain, would most un questionably have been drowned. The accident oc curred almost immediately under Hungerford Suspension bridge. MARKET NEWS-(YESTERDAY.) 11 .CLY MA.72ILETB.

HAVERHILL, WEDNESDAY.—After the report of yes terday's proceedings were dispatched, the assistant coin. missioner, Sir John Walsham, Bart., continued the in• quiry until a late hour. Edmund Basham, of Haverhill, labourer, sworn—De posed that he had been an inmate of the infirmary eighteen weeks. A man by the name of Turner was in at the time, to whom Slater was very cruel. He used to bump Turner upon the stool in the room. Turner often cried in consequence of such treatment. Charles Honeyball deposed to several acts of violence by Slater. When witness was in the union as an inmate, he saw Slater take up a pauper, named Smith, of Stoke, and throw him on the bed. Another time he said," Ah, daddy, you want a little of nay slow physic that will carry you off gently." Mr. Law was governor then. If he had told the governor those remarks he feared he should have had his dinner stopped, which was generally the case if any one did anything to displease the master. John Forge stated that when he was in the union a pauper by the name of Reynolds died there. At the time of his death Webb sat by the fire, and on Slater coming in he said, " you, if I can once get you to bed I'll soon do for you."—(Much sensation.) Slater was in the habit of " spanking" old Master Webb. Slater spanked him (Webb) over the body. It was as much as ever the poor old- man (Webb) could do to get across the room at that time. He was very childish. Thomas Brett, a❑ inmate of the union, said he knew the nurse Slater. A poor olds. man by the name of Poulter was in the workhouse with a bad cough. Slater on one occasion threw the old man on the floor, and then upon the bed. Once witness was ill, and Slater was his nurse; rice was ordered him, but Slater took out the rice and gave him the water. A man of the name of Ling, who could not help himself, was tied down in the bed by Slater. Ling was exceedingly infirm at the time. He did not know whether the doctor knew when the man was tied down in the bed. Sarah Basham deposed to the fact that the deceased had been injured by a rope being drawn round his wrists, from the effects of which the blood proceeded. She told Mrs. Arnup, the matron, at the time of the circumstance, and she told witness to mind her own business, and not meddle with the affairs of Slater. The evidence being concluded, The A sSISTANT COMMISSIONER said it was, he believed, from all he had heard that day, too true that the man Shaer had acted very improperly to the men placed in the infirmary in his charge. lie believed that the man Slater was guilty of a misdemeanour, and that it was the duty of the board of guardians, as protectors of the poor, to bring the matter before the magistrates at their next sitting, so that this party, if considered innocent, might be relieved from blame; and if not, that he might be punished according to the law. He would submit the case to the board of guardians, and if they would not proceed against Slater, he should feel it his duty to do so himself. The investigation then closed. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.
