The other shipments, how ever, have been much heavier than usual. Large sums in silver and gold have been despatched to the Eastern markets and the week has been distinguished by a revival of the de mand for ccin for Australia. Amongst the sums despatched for our southern colonies are 60,0004 by the Koh-i-Noor and about 1,500/. in the hands of passengers by the Banshee, both for Port Philip ; 80,0001. by the Walvisch, for Adelaide; 15,000/. by the Panope, for Launceston • and 30,000/. by the Resolute, for Sydney. The Ripon has also taken out 271,078/. for Alexandria and the East; and La Plata, 7,455/. for the West Indies, besides 860/. worth of quicksilver. The aggre gate value of the exports from the kingdom for the week is thus raised according to our returns, to rather more than 45' ,009/, and thero is consequently a balance of some 60,0001, in favour of exports over imports. l s and Co lf,Blandy, and n. and Co rent, Boyd% THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 26, 1852. FRANCE. The S end= - Consulte of the 4th November is much discussed and much speculated upon in political circles. it appears certain that some members of that body desire that, ru order to avoid all discussion, one sole article to the following effect shall be sub mitted to the people : " The French Empire shall be hereditary,in the direct line, in the family cit Louis Napoleon. In the event of Louis Napoleon having no male issue ho ehall have the right to name his successor. Louis Napoleon shall be em powered to introduce is the Constitution the modifica tions he may think necessary, with the view of harmon izing the new powers of State with the new regime." Several new names will be shortly added to the Patres Conscripti. One general and one admiral are spoken of, but the hesitation is as to the choice of persons ; the other names are those that, with one ex ception, have been spoken of already several times—M. de St. Georges, director of the National Printing-office; M. Berger, Prefect of the Seine ; M. Moreau, Prefect of the Seine-et-Oise ; and M. de Suleau, of the Bouches-du-Rhone. A number of Senators have already arrived in rxig. It is believed that the important session of of the 4th will not last more than eight days. All the cocuments relative to the coronation of Kings, and of ihe Emperor Napoleon in particular, are being collected .Iri the national and other public libraries by the emp/ovis of the Ministry of the Interior. The Prince President, it would appear, has some intention of paying a visit to the northern and western departments of France previous to the pro clamation of the Empire. The Chamber of Commerce of Brest has presented an a,idress to the President, thanking him for the creatio:i of that establishment. It is e .cpected thet Ahd-el-Bader will pay a visit to Paris Cle moment he is allowed to quit the Chateau of Ambois&'. His joy is said to be extreme at his approaching ,liberation, and he has promise d to p a y another visit te, France in a year or two. It is be lieved that the Turkish Minister, Prince Callimaki, knew nothing whatever of the President's intention to release the Emir. It is stated that the reduction of the number of regiments of mounte,i chasseurs of the army to twelve, and that of the hussars to eight, has been decided on. The two regiments that will be suppressed, the 15th of the former and the 9th of the latter, will form the two regiments of guides to be created for the spnial service of the new Emperor. A letter front Marseilles of' the 20th inst. states that M. Durand, the commissary of police of that town, accompanied by another officer, had arrested 25 operatives, :forming a secret society. These me n had assembled the previous day in a lone house i n i the valley of Anderre, where they indulged n drinking to ervess. They had exhausted the demo cratic vocabulai •Iy in shouting such phrases as "Vice la Republique ,;i'ociale !" "Viva la guillotine !" "A bas les riches 1" ". Au feu les prates and these aspira tions were vari4 .d by couplets from the Carmagnole, and other favoi irites of the Montagnard musicians. They were but the prelude to a significant ceremony which followed the dessert. A representation of a gallows was raised by them, and hailed with cries of The gallows is erected ; the gallows for ever !" They next cart ied their fraternal theories into effect by plundering 'the neighbouring orchards and vine yards. ITALY. 580 The Piadm antese Gazette, of the 21st ins an nounces that g r and military manoeuvres, commanded by the Govern.) r-General of the division, were exe cuted at Sambu y, on the 20th, under the eyes of the King and of the Duke i,f Genoa. The Savoy Official Gazette, of the 23d inst., quotes a letter from Curia of the 20th, stating that the senators and del ,uties were returning by degrees to that city, althea igh it was rumoured that a proroga tion of the Chit; mbers would take place, some said to await the pro 31amation of the Empire in France, others, to give ime to Ministers to prepare the esti mates of their espective departments. It was be lieved that M. Cavour would re-enter the Cabinet. His former colle agues gave him a most flattering re ception, and hastened to visit him on his return. M. de Cavour waits i on the King to pay him his hom age shortly after his arrival. The French weekly paper, Le Journal de Turin, has suspended itt publication. The Opinion , of Turin, contains the following, dated Florence, :18th : " The intellige ace from Rome is rather important. Monsignor Char vaz, lately appointed Archbishop of Genoa, had been. instructed by your Government to adjust some differ' rnces pending between Sardinia and the Holy See. Such, we understand, was the substance of the prelate's insatructions. I am informed that in a recent secret Ca n3istory—not spoken of even in the Roman Journal— -a plan of campaign against Pied mont was agree4l upon, and that Monsignor Charvaz concurred in the views of the Consistory, by which it was recommendet I to oppose, by all possible means, the present instita tions of Sardinia, and to assist Count Solar della Margi ,arita in assuming the reins of Govern ment." _ _ —.. The Imperial :and Royal Commissioner of the dis trict of Milan had issued the following circular : " MILAN, OCT. 11 "The Emperor wishes that all the officers of the State should shave off their beards from the corner of the mouth downwards so as to leave the chin and lower part of the face uncover red. The authorities are desirous that the district officers and the emploges of charitable institu tions and of sohoc Is should conform to that rule. The first have already submitted to it. The latter are re quested to follow their example. Being obliged to draw up a report on the subject, the undersigned hopes that he may not have to notice any opposition to the desire above expressed. Thanks to the intervention of the chiefs of those establishments and institutions." NOTIONS AS TO SEPULCHRAL AND MONUMENTAL WORKS —A writer in the Builder suggests-1. That where we afford a permanent coffin or sarcophagus, it is better to place the body inside than outside the same. 2. That there iv no reason whatever (except jobbery), for separating 'the three functions of a coffin, tomb, and monument—to hold the remains, to mark their place, and to publish our respect; bat that all the noblest sepulchres, in the greatest times and places, have, in a single work, fulfilled all three ends. (And modern science makers this all the more easy, because the two pieces of a sarcophagus can be held together air-tight and inseparably by simply pouring ancontractible type metal into a p sir of dovetail grooves cut round the meet ing faces of the two stones.) 3. That in all epitaphs the name or n:smes of the deceased, be they one or tea thousand, foiex.s the most essential and only indispen sable part of 'the writing. 4. That a monument should es no larger than is absolutely required to hold and preserve the epitaph (and images, if any) of the de ceased, these being the solo objects of a monument. And it should have no work not conducive to these ends; for even decoratic n, observe, is highly conducive thereto; many monuments (the Eleanor crosses, to go no fur ther) having b ten preserved to us solely by their deco ration, which 13 as thus done what the strength of rocks could not in retAsting the spoiler. But a monument has no right to be e nlarged for ornament, i. e. made larger or costlier, to ho?at ornament to show architect's skill than it need be to held, show, and preserve as long as pos sible, as strong! y as possible, and as beautifully as pos sible, the epitap h and images, if any. In short, then, do as little as posui.ble, but stinting nothing that can ever so little improvt s it. Build as little as possible, but with rocks. Cut as .little as possible, but in adamant. Write as little as possible, but in lines of beauty. DOSING RACE IloesEs.—lt is a common excuse, and an everyday pfx Ise, to say that horses have been "dosed or poisoned,' when their public performances do not come up the exp ectations raised ; for my part I believe none of such in•ashy tales. That there are plenty of scoundrels insist ied with the good will to corrup t boys in stables. and that there are too many fooli s h leas ready to lie ten to roguish overtures th e r e can, I am sorry to say, oe little doubt; but of the ability to " dose" horses lay such means I am entirely sceptical. There are not three boys, out of the three hundred at Newmarket, that could in the first place give a dose of physic to a horse, even if they had the task set them by their masters ; mid what therimnst be the difficulty when they tire to administer "doses" (whatever such thi ngs !any be) clandosti nely ? In short, if trainers be properly attentive to their duties, all fear of what boys may do in the way of such injury to horses is set at naught.— regassus. " SPIRIT RA.I3PINGS" AT HULL.—A marvellous sensation has been created in our town within the last few days by the discovery that a ghost had taken up its quarters, evidently for the winter season, in a secluded dwelling on the liplaby-road, where it i s likel y to ob ta'n as great a noturiety as the celebra ted Cock-lane g host. The noise is not confined to any one place, but alter natly prevades different parts of the house. Sometimes it is a dull, heavy sound, and sometimes like a sort of scratch. Yesterday 2,000 or 3,000 persons visited the spot, many of whom lingered until nearly midnight, a detachment of police being present to preserve order. It is impossible to describe the sensation which has been created by the discovery of this affair, and credulity could hardly be carried further. The police declare that many would actually remain by the door of the house the whole of the night if they would only permit them. --Hull Packet SATISFACTORY.—It hss been announced that the liabilities ot thelTuuseToflir.ljl; lioO;les, an old arid resfectable establishment in the trade with Norway and Denmark, which suspended on the 23d of July last, will be paid forthwith in full.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—Ocr. 25. (Before Mr. Commissioner Gottlburn.) COSTS IN SUMMONS CASES. Mr. Kearsey applied for the plaintiff's costs in an un defended trader debtor summons, in which the defendant had signed the admission of the debt. Mr. Neale resisted the application. His Honour said the defendant having made no resist ance to the process of the court, and tho plaintiff having obtained what he sought for, he did not think the appli olden ought to be acceded to. The plaintiff, had now, so to speak insured himself. If the debtor, having signed the admission, did not pay, secure, or compound the debt to the satisfaction of the creditor within seven days, he committed an act of bankruptcy. The costs must be refused. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—Oct. 25. OLD COURT. CHARGE OF MANSLAI7GHTER. Richard Perry, 54, was indicted for the manslaughter of Jane Perry. Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution. It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses that the prisoner and the deceased, who was his wife, oc cupied a room in one of the houses in Broad-street, Lam beth, in which there were several other lodgers. The deceased woman was very mach addicted to habits of intemperance, and about 12 o'clock at night on the 18th September she came home very drunk, accompanied by the prisoner, who, it appeared, was sober, and very soon after they got into their own room a woman named Mit chell, who occupied a room with her husband directly under that of the prisoner and his wife, heard them quarreling and abusing each other, and very foul lan guage was made use of by both the deceased and the prisoner. After a short interval this witness heard a fall with great violence upon the floor of the prisoner's room, and after that, as she expressed herself, there was a "shocking" silence. Very soon afterwards the prisoner alarmed the lodgers in the house, and exclaimed that his wife was insensible, and upon a light being brought the unfortunate woman was found lying at the foot of the staircase leading from the prisoner's room quite dead. Mr. Thompson, a surgeon, who was called in upon the occasion, said that upon examining the body of the deceased he found a number of severe braises upon the face and other parts of the body. Tne immediate cause of death was concussion of the brain, which appeared to have resulted from a blow upon the forehead. The Recorder asked the surgeon whether he was able to express an opinion as to the injuries that appeared upon the body of the deceased having been occasioned by blows or falls. Mr. Thompson said he was unable to form any satis factoryw would u l easily accountedupon this for point;by and, fact of a indeed,h bound to say, that the bruises were all of a c h arac t er th a t d thedrunken k w e a rl s woman tumbling about. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence said that his wife was in the habit of taking his money while he was out hard at work, and getting drunk with it, and on the night the fatal affair happened, she came home very drunk. He denied having struck her, and declared that she received the injuries by falling down the stair case, owing to her drunken condition. The Recorder, on his summing up, told the jury that in this case there were two difficulties which must be got over before the prisoner could be convicted upon the charge of manslaughter. In the first place, it appeared to be very doubtful whether the injuries which caused the death of the deceased might not have been caused by herself, by falling about while drunk, and even suppos ing they were the result of blows, there was no evidence whatever to show that the prisoner had inflicted a single blow upon the deceased. The jury at once returned a verdict of Not Guilty. HOUSEBREAKING. William Rex was indicted fur feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mary Lltub, and stealing five coats and other articles, her property. The prosecutrix was a widow, and resided in a cot tage at Twickenham. In the evening of Sunday, the 17th inst., she went out, leaving no one in charge of her cottage, and upon her returning shortly afterwards, she was very much astonished at seeing a light in her bedroom. She gave an alarm to her neighbours, and some of them stationed themselves at the front door, and others at the back, and in a short time an attempt was made by some persons inside to open the front door. The people on the outside held the door fast, and an endeavour was made to force it open with a poker from the inside, and finding they could not succeed in doing so, there was a cry of "- your eyes, shoot, e . This had the effect of intimidating the persons on the outside, and they retreated a short distance, and two men, one of whom was the prisoner, then rushed out of the house. A man named Al'Cree laid hold of the pri soner, who immediately struck him on the arm with a crow-bar, and he succeeded in getting away a short distance, when be was secured, but his companion sue ceeded in affecting his escape . Upon going into the co tt ag e the bedroom of tne prosecutrix was found in a state of great disorder, all her drawers having been ransacked, and the contents strewed about, and several skeleton keys were picked up in different parts of the premises. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sen tenced to be transported for ten years. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Serjeant.) BIGAMY. William Henry Powey, 3 0, gardener, was indicted for liabell a G raham, h i s w if e b e i ng feloniously marrying then alive. The first marriage was proved to have taken place on the 30th of June, 1839, at St. M ary ' s, C raw f or d. street , Portman-square. Jane Sleaman, the wife of a ropemaker, residing in Gillespie-street, Edinburgh, stated that the prisoner was married on the 2 3 d o f Au gust, 18 51 (having been on a visit for three wee ks previously), to h er s i s t er , Miss Graham, and after staying a few days with them, and living together as man and wife, sailed for England. They were married by the Rev. Mr. Reed, minister of the United Presbyterian Congregation in the Lothian road. They were married in witneu's house: it is the custom in Scotland, and witness had heard that the banns had been proclaimed in the usual way. Cross-examined —I was married in a private house. It is the custom. The ban ns were proclaimed when I was married. My sister's was a regular marriage. I know the Rev. Mr. Reed to be a minister. I attend his church. The clerk to the magistrates o f Ed gowaro produced a copy of the reco rd of the m a r riage of the prisoner with the second wile. Mr. Parry asked him where he got it from. The witness said ho obtained it from the sessions clerk. Mr. Parry objected to the admission of the document, contending that it could not be admitted as evidence unless accompanied by a proper certificate of its being legal, and in conformity with the Scottish statutes. The Common Serjeaut said that he could not admit such a document as evidence of the marriage. The constable who took the prisoner said that when he told him w hat he wis charged with, p r i soner an swered, " I f u lly expected it." Mr. li,iarsly said that was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Parry then, at some length, argued that there was no proof whatever of a second marriage. The Common Serjeant said it was a case for the jury. He was found Guilty; sentence postponed. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—Oct. 25. The October adjourned Quarter Sessions commenced this morning at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell, bef ore Mr. Serjeant Adams, assistant judge, Mr. Witham, and Mr. Warner. There are 43 prisoners fur trial —34 charged with felony and 9 with misdemeanour. Thomas Nicholls, 20 , was indic ted for havin g stolen a silver inkstand, value 5 01 ., t he p ro p ert y Of Peter Brandon. It appeared that on the B th instant the p ris oner was seen on the top of the steps leading to the kitch en o f t h e prosecutor's house at Highgate. Immediately after wards a valuable silver inkstand was missed from the drawing room, and one of the servants seeing the priso ner leaving the house, :ollosved and pointed him out to policeman, who pursued, but lost sight of him. The prisoner was found concealed under a hedge, and th e inkstand was found about 30 yards . off. Mr. Metcalfe, who was for the prisoner, did not resist the evidence; and The jury found the prisoner Gui'ty. The Assistant Judge, said ha found from the returns that the prisoner was an old offender, and sentenced him to seven years' transportation. SURREY SESSIONS —Oct. 25. TIIE CASE OF THE PRISONER CANNON FOR ASSAULTING DWTER TUE POLICEMAN. Shortly after the retirement of the grand jury, Mr. Lund, the superintendent of the P division, by the advice of Mr Clark, the counsel employed to prosecute Cannon, the sweep, for the frightful assault on Dwyer, th© police-constable, w i t hd ro vr the prosecution from this court, and proceeded at once in a vehicla with the wit nesses for the prosecution to the Central Criminal Court, it being the intention of the Treasury to indict Cannon for attempting to murder Dwyer. The indictment at these sessions merely charges him " with having, at Cainb'rwoli, unlawfully end maliciously inflicted griev ous bodily harm upon Michael Dwyer, a police constable of the P division, while in the ex ecution of his duty ;" but since th e committal the prosecutor has been ascer tained to be so seriously injured ti s ; it was deemed ad visable to adopt the present cour , e, as this court has not the power to try him for the more serious off:ince—that of attempting to murder the constable; and Cannon hav ing boen no less than 20 times convicted for assaulting the police, for which he receiv , d long sentences, it is quite time that ho should be provented for a lorg time from hi s favourite pursuit. flo, will at the Central Criminal Court, on conviction, be liable to be transported for life.

MANSION HOUSE. —A. Campbell was charg,4l with having robbed Michael Thrry, n young Irish tailor, Of five shillings, the first money ever earned by the indus trious boy in this country, in which he has been a very recent importation. The prosecutor said—The prisoner, who is a tailor as well as myself, lodged in the same room, and befote I went to bed about three months ago, he pre,sed me to lend him the money I had, but as I wanted it myself I refused him, and I put it for safety under my head. In the morning I found that my money and my cap were gone, and that the prisoner, who bad never got into his bed at all, was off along with them. The landlord of the house in which the prosecutor and the Driioner lodged said—l heard the prisoner ask the lad for the loan of money, and as I knew the poor boy wished to keep his first earnings in England, for good luck, I told my wife to lend Mr. Campbell a shilling, which she did. In the morning we found that the rob bery had been committed, and I was told by the magis- trate to give the thief into custody whenever I saw him. We never laid eyes on him since till yesterday, and then he was charged, and had the impudence to deny that he was a rogue. _ The prisoner said there was not a word of truth ht the statement that he had either wanted to borrow or to ,steal, and that the whole charge was mere spite against him because he refused to stay in the noisy quarter in which he had lately resided. Alderman Hooper—And what did you do with the boy's cap ? The prisoner—That was not worth a bawboe. don't know what became of it. Alderman Hooper (to the prosecutor)—What was the cap worth ? The prosecutor—A shilling your honour. Alderman Hooper—We have the prisoner's own ac knowledgment that he stole the cap. The prisoner—No your lordship ; I only clapped it on my head for fear of catching cold, as I was leaving the room. (Laughter.) Alderman Hooper—There is no doubt at all that you robbed this poor lad, and if you do not return him the money and pay him for the cap, you shall go to prison fur seven days. The prisoner —It's very hard upon me to have to pay for what I did'nt ever receive. I've no objections to pay for the cap, but not the money. Alperman Hooper—Young man, I dare say he will procure the money you have lost ; and if so, it shall be sent to you, The prisoner was then locked up. MAR LBOROUGH-STREET.—ABoTTLE OF SMOSE. —Mr. Henry Lloyd, who described himself as a retired tradesman, of No. 11, Ship-street, Brighton, summoned Inspector Lister of the C division and two police-con stables before Mr. Broughton, and charged them with the following offences :—lnspector Lister was charged with having fraudulently kept back a sum of 301. from a sum of 5151. taken from Mr. Lloyd when brought to the station-house on a charge of drunkenness. Police-con stable C 133, was charged with perjury, and another constable, C 101, was charged with an assault. Mr. Herring appeared for the complainant, and a very long discussion took place as to the charges being enter tained by the Court. The circumstances which led to the present proceed ings were these:'-- A few days ago, Mr. Lloyd was found at an early hour in the morning in the company of several prostitutes, and apparently not sober. He was taken to the Vine-street station-house, and detained for some hours. Before being placed in the cell, ho gave into the inspector's hands all the money in his possession, which, on being counted up by the inspector, was stated to amount to 4851. in notes and 41. in gold. Mr. Lloyd was taken before Mr. Bingham, and on the evidence of police-constable C 133 and the inspector fined ss. for being drunk. His money was tendered to him as 4851.; he refused the amount, alleging that the sum in bank notes was 5151, and not 4851. Some short time after this, the whole sum of 515/. in notes, was handed over to him. Feeling himself aggrieved at the decision of the magistrate, as ho asserted that he was not intoxi cated, and at the conduct of the police, Mr. Lloyd laid magistrate, a series of c om pl a i nts b e f ore t h e C omm i ss i oners, who referred the case to thi s court , an d accor di ng l y t h e t h ree charges of att em pt e d f rau d , per j ury, and assault, were gistr, a brought forw a rd aga i nst the defendants. said,nd b witeh should respect t t b o er t e h f e or d e en r i e a f l o o se f in toxication,to that refer re d to a case already decided by re-open the evidenc e . anoMthr.er Broughtonate Mr. Herring then said, he would go on to the ease relating to the alleged fraudulent witholding of 30/. by the inspector. Mr. Lloyd had mentioned at the station house that he had over 5001. in his possession, and he had also declared in court that the sum was larger by 30/ than the amount named by the inspector as having been taken from him. The magistrate, Mr. Bingham, told him if he thought he was entitled to 301. more to go to the Comity Court. When he left the court the notes, stated to amount to 485/. were offered to him by the inspector, provided he gave a receipt in full. This ho refused to do, and after some further parleying a friend of the complainant's was requested to count the notes, which, having done, the sum of 515/., and not 4851., was found. As the constable Sayes had sworn that the sum taken from him at the station-houso was 4851., Mr. Lloyd had charged the constable with perjury ; and as the in spector had only given up the whole sum when he found Mr. Lloyd was determined to make a stir about the matter, Mr. Lloyd had telt himself justified in preferring the present charge. The Superintendent of the division (tfr. Otway) said a few words from the inspector in the way of explana tion would sot the whole matter right. Mr. Lloyd said he felt satisfied that bad he not for tunately taken the numbers of the notes, and given the neverinspector have seen to his understand 3 that he had done so, be should After a good deal of evidence as to what took place in court, and befora the magistrate, had been gone through, Inspector Lister said this was the explanation he had to offer. That Ithe notes were in two parcels, one of which appeared to be a parcel of twelve 5/. notes. Ile had reckoned this last parcel as 60/., but when the notes were counted by Mr. Lloyd's friend it was discovered that only six of the notes were 5/. notes, and the re maining six notes were 101. notes. It was the mis take on his part in counting notes as 51. which wore 101., that made the difference of 301. But the whole of the notes, 20 in number, had been tendered to Mr. Lloyd, in the belief that the total sum was 4851., instead of 5151. Mr. Broughton.—Than, although you would have been satisfied with a receipt for 4851. yet Mr. Lloyd would actually have received 5151. ? "'lnspector Lister. — Ye s, y our wor ship. The witness who had found out the mistake, and Mr. Herring, the complainant's solicitor, readily a d m it t a d that they were perfect l y satisfied at the time with the explanation of the inspector. Mr. Broughton said there was not the shadow o f a shade of imputation on . the inspector. The case was clearly one of miscounting, which might have happened to any one, and there was no pretence to charge the inspector with based. Tie dismissed the complaint, and the inspector would leave the Court without a stain upon his character. As for the charge of perjury, no• thing could be wore trumpery than the evidence to sus tain it. The constable had seen the notes counted, had heard the inspector name the sum, and had sworn to tile sum named by the inspector. Be dismissed the charge at once. The other charge of assault had refer ence to the charge decided by his coadjutor, a n d h e should therefore not entertain it. The charges were all dismissed. LAMBETH. --John Chamberlain, conductor of one of Balls' Norwood omnibuses, was charged with plundering 1 his master. Mr. Balls, jun., deposed that on the evening of that day week ho was at the Elephant and Castle when one of his omnibuses drove up from Gracechurch-street, and he noticed it was quite full. He knew this fact from a person applying to the prisoner for an inside seat, and his saying that it was quite full inside and out; the person so applying getting on the monkey board, while the prisoni-r himself stood on the back step; and t` is would make twenty-two passengers, the fares of whom would amount to at least 163. In the return made for this journey by the prisoner the passengers were made out at 93. 6d., and only this amount was paid to Mr. Balls, so that by this journey alone the prisoner must have pocketed at least es. In his cross examination Mr. Balls said that the pay ment to drivers in his employment was one guinea a week, and to conductors eighteen shillings. Besides this, however, they were allowed the boot and the par cola, which averaged from 33. to 4s. a day. Sergeant Somers declared that on taking the prisoner into custody on Saturday night he told him that it was for robbing his master of half-a-crown (that being the sum which Mr. Balls was in a condition to prove, be yond which he paid in.) The prisoner then cdmitted that he had taken ono Norwood passenger for which be had not accounted, but said it was his wife. Ho subse quently denied that the passenger was his wife, and said he unfortunately forgot to make a return for an addi tional shilling. The attorney who appeared for the defence admitted his fears that his client was driven in the moment of temptation to make free with his master's money. He then wont on to say that there was not an omnibus pro prietor is the metropolis who was not perfectly well aware that the paltry pittance which they allowed their conductors-18 shillings a-week—was not sufficient to keep themselves and families passably decent, end that therefore they were conscious they must make use of some of their money. Mr. Balls declared that he for one never entertained such an idea, and if he had, such conductor should not long he a servant of his. Mr. Balls also denied in a most emphatic manner that he ever winked at or countenanced the practice of the conductor, giving as much as two or three shillings a day out of the passenger money to the driver. Mr. Elliott remarked that if money had b een g i ven b y the conductors to their drivers, it must be f or t h e pur pose of shutting their mouths, and preventing their dis closing their dishonest practices. There could be no doubt whatever that the prisoner hai Leen carrying on a wholesale system of rubbery, and ho should therefore send him for trial. George Welk, another conductor in the serv:ce of Mr. Balls, was also charged with robbing his master. The prisoner acknowledged that he had omitted en tering a shilling on one of the up j ourneys on Wednes day last, but it was satisfactorily shown he had not only omitted ono, but several, and tho extent to which his robberies and those of the last prisoner were carried, must have been most ruinous to their employer. The defence in this case., as in the hit, was the small ness ut . wages, and the prisoner being obliged to give his coachman a certain allowance daily. Mr. Balls again denied his knowledge of any such practice, when the prisoner apnealEd to severed persona in the body of the court, and =lied if it war, not so. I Three or four voices were heard. One exchaixcd,'• I allowed my coachman, when I was in work, hal', a-crown a day ;"" And I," said another, "alloweJ mine t4iir o shil linns ;" while a third declared that his allowance to his driver averaged 3s. 63. a-day. At the reqneAt of the prisoner's so:icitor, the case was adj,:urEed for a week, and the prisoner remanded. QUARTZ CRUSHING IN CALIFORNIA. By the last advices from San Francisco, bearing date the 31st August, it appears that the most remarkable feature at present to be fonnd in the gold-producing interests of that country is the great and constantly in creasing use of quartz-crushing engines. So short a time has elapsed since gold was first discovered in such hitherto unknown quantities, that it is easy to recal to mind the various slow and progressive steps of science in aiding the unpractised efforts of the minor in these remote but fortunate regions. At first the roughest and most common implements were employed in the reduc tion of the rock ; afterwards came the use of quick silver ; then the amalgamator, wherein this metal was applied upon new principles ; and, lastly, great crushing-mills have been brought into operation ; which have considerably increased the yield of gold. Some of the largest of these are endowed with an energy which enables them to reduce to powder from 40 to 45 tons of rock per diem. Machines of this size commonly employ from 20 to 24 men. The largest to be mat with are about Nevada, in which region, when fortune is occasionally propitious, the amounts of gold extracted are almost incredible. On one occasion, after a 48 hours' trial, ono of these mills turned out an amount of gold equal in value to 6,400 dols. This re sult was said to have been a larger yield than the mill had before given, though it had been worked on the same spot over six weeks ; and it was partly due to the crushing power of the mill itself, and partly to the use of a new amalgamator, numbers of which have been in vented lately, and have attained a high pitch of per fection. It is impossible to read these accounts from California without feeling that even now we are only on the threshold of that mine of wealth which will presently be developed under further and more improved appearances of science. The quamity of rock crushed by the mills above described is defi nitely stated, but the number of horse-power employed in the operation is not named. We are only able to form is rough idea of the power from the context; and the fact that they are spoken of as " great" crushing mills, and that one of the " largest" reduces to powder from 40 to 45 tons of rock per diem, induces us to suppose them of no ordinary size, averaging, perhaps, from 20 to 60 horses. Such ponderous anti expensive machinery as this cannot long hold possession of the gold districts; they must soon give way before more portable and effec tive contrivance. In a trial made a few days since with one of Bagg's new patent steam-stamps (and upon the accuracy of our statement our readers may rely), no less than 40 tons of coarse metal were crushed by a small 4-horse engine in 12 hours, though the steam entering the cylinder was considerably less than the power of two horses; 26 tons out of this quantity were reduced to a fine powder, and carried at once to the calcining furnaces; the remaining 14 tons were broken by the engine into small pieces, the size of a walnut, and wero passed through a pair of rolls, in order to afford a com parison of effect. Although the rolls were work ing with a power of six horses, and that the metal was half crushed when delivered to them, they were unable to dispose of the 14 tons within the same period of time-12 hours ! These facts speak for themselves, and will, doubtless, have an effect upon those who are now expending large sums in the purchase of crushing machinery of a more antiquated and less effective cha racter. One of the principal gold companies. who have recently adopted the new patent stamps, will effect, ac cording to their own calculation, a saving of many thou sand pounos per annum, in dispensing entirely with the enormous amount of hand labour now required for re ducing the large blocks of quartz to a a!ze sufficiently smell for the ordinary stamp heads. We also observe that one of Mr. Begge's engines is advertised in another column for forthcoming exhibition in London; and the fact that it is to be erected and brought into practical operation at the now reduction works of Messrs. Johnson and Matthey, at Millwalf, would seem to afford proof of the estimation in which its capabilities and usefulness are regarded by men of the highest practical standing in the mining world. In addition to these improvements for reducing the rook to powder, we happen to bo ourselves cognizant of a new and most effective invention for the extracAon of the gold therefrom, the particulars of which will in due time be made pnbl c. What effect these advances in science will exercise upon the gold-producing districts of California and Australia it is no very difficult matter to prognosticate.—Mining Journal of Saturday. RAILWAY lIVTELLIGEIVCE. NEW RAILWAY PROJECTS. STROOD, CANTERBURY, AND DOVER.—This scheme is promoted by several landowners on the intended line, which is proposed to join the North Kent lice at Strood, and pass through Rochester, Chatham, Brompton, and Gillingham, and continue by Rainham and Newington to Milton and Sittingbourne, and thence by Faversham and Canterbury to Drier. Branches to Maidstone, Favershatn•quaye, and Chilham are proposed, and also running powers over the South-eastern lines from Lon don to Strood, from Canterbury to Ramsgate, Margate, and Deal, and from Chilhatn to Ashford. The length of the proposed lino from Strood to Dover would be 44 miles, and from Stroud to Maidstone 11 miles. The promoters state that it would effect a saving of 22 miles in the distance from Llndon to Canterbury, Ramsgate, Margate, and Deal, and of 14 miles to Dover and Maid stone. The total length of the proposed railway is about 60 miles. The estimated cost is 1 ,500,000/., or about 25,0001. per mile. MID-KENT AND LONDON AND SOUTH -WESTERN.— This proposed line is intended to commence by a junction with the London and South -Western Rail way at a point between the Niue Elms and Wandsworth stations, and to proceed by Clapham-rise, Brixton-hill, Herne-hlll, and Dulwich ; and after crossing the Brighton Railway near Sydenhana, to proceed direct to Bromley,'Farnberough, Chelsfield, Halstead, and Shore ham to Word, and thence by Wrothana, Mailing, and Allington to Maidstone, and by a branch from Orford to Riverhead, Sevenoaks, and Tunbridge. It is stated that this line would shorten the distance from London to Atleidstone by 21 miles, or from 56 miles to 35 miles ; and also shorten the distance from London to Hastings; Tnnbridge-wells, Canterbury, Ramsgate, Folkestone, and Dover by 12 miles. The length of the line is 45 miles, and the estimated cost 1,000,0001. The traffic is estimated at 156,4551. per annum, being calculated at the same rate per mile as the receipts on the South- Eastern Railway, and after deducting 45 per cent. for working expenses, the promoters state that it would give a dividend of 8.1 per cent on the proposed capital. STAINES ♦ND WORKINGMAN AND WOKING JUNC TION.—This projected line is intended to commence by a junction with the South-Western Railway at Staines, end pass through or near Egham, Virginia Water, Sunning hill, Bagsbot, Ascot-heath, and Wartield, ter minating at Wokingham by a junctio❑ with the Guild ford, Reading, and Reigate Railway, with a branch from the main line at Longcross to the Landon and South-Western at Woking. The estimated expense is 13,0001. per mile for a double line, or 300,0001. The traffic receipts are estimated at 56,305/. per annum, and the expenses at 50 per cent., leaving 26,6521., or about 9 per cent on the proposed capital. The traffic receipts are estimated by the promoters at 2,423/. per mile per annum. It is stated that the undertaking is supporte d by the principal landowners and inhabitants resident in the district through which the line is proposed to pass. CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.—Mr. Baird, M.P., has been elected chairman of the Caledonian Railway, in the room of Mr. Duncan, who lately retired. GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND RAlLWAY.—Arrange ments for cutting the first turf of the Great North Rail way line have been at length completed, and operatiots in this important undertaking will positively commence in about ten d.tys hence. A single line of rails from Aberdeen to Keith is all that is at first contemplate.i. CLAIM OF DAMAGES FOR DEPRECIATION OF PRO PERTY.—A case of this description was tried yesterday in the Outer House before Mr. Sheriff Gordon and a special jury. Mr. John Hay, farmer, Halihkell, in the parish of Borth wick, and county of Edinburgh, made a claim against the North British Railway Company for 574/. 19s. 6d , as the value of stock which had been clo stroyed by the opt - rations of the rail way company prior. to November, 1847. The claim formed part of a con joined action against the company on the part of Mr hay, and was considered before the Lords of the Inner House, who ordered the pursuer, on the 4th of June, 1852, to lodge a minute stating in what manner, and to what extent, the stock had been injured by the opera tions of the railway. The minute was lodged on the 18th June, 1852, and their lordships then allowed the claim to be tried by a special jury.
