After the royal assent had bean gi•eu to the abav,. , Bill, The LORD CHANCELLOR then in a clear voice read the speech from her Majesty, as follows: " Mx LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " We are commanded by her Majesty to express to you the warm acknowledgments of her Majesty for public spirit you have evinced in the discharge of your laborious duties during an anxious and pro tracted session. " Her 'Majesty trusts that you mill be rewarded by e vial re3ults of the measures which :zing the I] czi sanctioned by her Majesty for the present .ion and ultimate repeal of protective duties ou corn and sugar. " her Majesty entertains a confident hope that the more free admission of the produce of foreign coun tries into the home market will increase the comforts and better the condition of the great body of the people. " Her Majesty feels the greatest satisfaction in re flecting that her Majesty's efforts to settle, in a mann(r consistent with national honour, the conflicting claims of Great Britain and the United States, with respect to the territory on the North West Coast of America, have been completely successful. " Her Majesty continues to receive from all Foreign Powers the strongest assurances of their desire to cultivate friendly relations with this country. " Her Majesty commands us to congratulate you on the, victorious course and holey eflnclu.ion of the 'war in India, and her .Majesty I n',.11 ;ratification in announcing to you that perfect tranquillity pre vails throughout the whole of the British possessions in that quarter of the world. " GENTLEMEN OF TUE HOUSE OF COMMONS, "her Majesty has observed with satisfaction the care you have taken to prevent permanent loss to the revenue, and to maintain the public faith. "Her Majesty has commanded us to acknowledge the zeal and unanimity with which you assented to the increase in the naval and military estimates which a regard to the exigencies of the public service induced her Majesty to propose for your consideration. " MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " Her Majesty has to lament that the recurrence of a failure in the potato crop, in an aggravated degree, will cause a serious deficiency in the quantity of a material article of food. • " Her Majesty has given her cordial assent to by which this calamity may be mitigated in that part of the United Kingdom where the cultica• tion of the potato has hitherto afforded the chief supply for the subsistence of the people. " Her Majesty has seen with pleasure that a con siderable diminution of crime and outrage has taken place in those counties of Ireland which had been most disturbed. " Her Majesty is confident that on your return to your several counties, you will find a spirit of loyalty generally prevalent. The extension of works of improvement has increased the demand for lab Dur, and the tranquillity of the country has favoured the pursuits of industry in all its branches. " lier Majesty trusts that by a combination of prudence with enterprise, and of a willing obedience to law with a desire for social progress, her people will, through the Divine blessi4 f enjoy the full ad vantages of peace." The NOBLE and LEARNED LORD then, in her Majesty's name, and by her Majesty's cOMinand, declared the Parliament prorogued to Wednesdlly, the 4th of No vember. It may not be amiss to state that during the present session the Royal Assent has been given to no less than 570 Bills. Several of the Foreign Ministers were present and the ceremony was graced by many of the fair sex. Thus has ended a session unparalleled in the extent of its ex istence, and only equalled in its importance by that which passed the Reform Bill. HOUSE OF COMMONS, August 28.

He (Mr. Wakley) thought that some protection ought to be afforded to those witnesses. Sir GEORGE GREY said that he had had no time that day to look at the letter in question, hut he woal dirr3 his attention to it at a future opportunity. He did Tilt; however, know if he had any power to interfere in the matter referred to. The Usher of the Bllek Rod here made his appear ance to summon the House to hear the Royal Assent ,given to several Bills, and to hear her Majesty's most gracious Sipeech upon the prorogation of Parliament. On the Speaker's return he took his seat at the table, and read her Majesty's speech, and the 119100 then separated. THE SUN, LONDON, SA_Tr:RDAY EVENING-, AUGUST 29, 1846, ARMAGH, COLERAINE, AND PORTRUSFI RAILWAY. A numerous and respectable meeting of sharehold ers of this Company was held yesterday, at the Loudon Tavern, for the purpose of considering the propriety ef an amalgamation with the Dublin and Belfast Junc. tion Railway Company. In the absence of the Right Hon. George Dawson, the chairman, Mr. Fox was called to the chair. The SECRETARY having read the notice convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said, that having heard the advertise ment they were aware that they were called together for the purpose of taking the sense of the shareholders on the proposed amalgamation. They, the directors, thought it would he desirable to effect that amalgama tion. Their line, as they were aware, went through some of the richest parts of the cuuatry in all the featurea that would enrich a railway proprietary. The railway would pass through Loughrea. The property here traversed belonged to the Irish Society, who were the best landlords in Ireland. The competing line started about the same time, and when such was the case it must be evident that it was a desirable project. The Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine line differed in one or two particulars from their line. They intended to connect Stewardstown and I'ortadown with the Ulster Railway, while the other company took a slightly different direction. The expense of a contest would have been very great, and, therefore, it was resolved by both parties to refer it to that eminent engineer Mr. Rastrick. The reference was before him for a consider able time, and it appeared desirable for both parties to abide by the award which be made, the particulars of which ivere contained in the report that would be sub matfaitto them. In fact, it would be seen that they suf feretrtid disadvantage from the alterations suggested by Mr. Rastrick, and that the line of the competing Com pany was, in reality more their (the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush's) than their former rival's. It would be seen, from the report, that the other Company, -having agreed to amalgamate, had placed on the board eight of their directors, ar.d eight of their own. This joint d had all sat together. working harmoniously for :he intereAls that were now i.leetified7 He did not think it was necessary to advert to any other topic in the report.—(Hear, hear.) The Chairman concluded by proposing a resolution to the effect that the proposed amalgamation should be agreed to. A long and desultory discussion here ensued as to whether a protest which bad been handed to the Chair man should be read, and which not only dissented to the proposed amalgamation, but characterised the present meeting as illegal ! The CHAIRMAN said he thought they should confine thcmsdves to thc- specific object for which the meeting had been convczt'd. _ _ It vita then putt to the meeting whether the protest should be read, and the n - iotion-wai negatived. Mr. MAxwELL and Mr. Rienaansosr addressed the meeting against the proposed amalgamation, which they denounced as wholly illegal. The Secretary then read the following report:— "The directors have convened this meeting of the shareholders in the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush Railway Company, to lay before them the terms of the amalgamation which have been entered into by them on the part of this Company with the directors of the Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine Junction Company; and also to give a brief statement of the reasons which in duced them to form what they conceived to be a most desirable junction with what was once a powerful oppo sition company. "It will be remembered that the project for construct ing a line of railway from Armagh to Portrush origi nated in the latter part of the year 1844, when every endeavour was made to ascertain the statistics of the company, and the particular information necessary for so important an undertaking. In the spring of 1845 the company was established. The Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine Junction Company, with which, as before stated, an amalgamation has taken place, was formed about the same period. The object was nearly the same, being only characterised with some few distinctions as to the precise country that it should serve in the direc tion of the line, not material to be noticed here. It was impossible to deny but that there were features in both schemes that were deserving of great public support ; and the two companies for a considerable time disputed the ground with each other without it appear. ing very probable that either would recede, or that any particular advantage would result to the shareholders of Either scheme. The directors, under these circum stances, felt that it was worse than useless to continue a fruitless opposition, and they considered themselves bound, upon every principle of justice to the share holders, to effect a cessation of hostilities if possible, provided they could ultimately obtain their object, which was to make the line of railway from Armagh to Portrush. They are happy to say that a correspond ing disposition was evinced on the part of the directors of the Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine Junction Railway. Overtures for a treaty were therefore made, and in the month of November last the deputations from each company met and arranged that, as the two lines were nearly identical, together with the branches, the selec tion of the line to go forward in Parliament should be left to Mr. Restrick, and that the solicitors of each company—Mr. Ogle and Mr. Sutton —should attend him, accompanied by the engineers, for that purpose. It is proper to remark here that the line projected by the Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine Junction Company was intended to pass through the estates of the Mercers Company, and that that powerful body were, therefore, disposed to support them in Parliament, and, on the other hand, to afford every practical op position to the proposed lice of this company, which was not so well calculated to benefit thzir estates. After a number of successive meetiags Mr. Rastrick, by consent of the parties, selected the Dublin and Belfast Junction line with certain modi fications, availirg himself of those features in the Armagh, Colcraine, and Portrush line, which he con sidered of great importance to the perfection of the scheme. The following is an extract from Mr. Ras trick's award : " Ist. That part of the main line of the Dublin, Bel fast, and Coleraine Junction from Portadown to Stewarts town to be entirely abandoned. " '2l. The branch from Stewartstown to Armagh to be adopted as a portion of the main line. " S ' 3d..iThe }ranch from Dung6;nnon, crossing the main line at liillyraau, and going direct to Ilortadown, to be substituted instead of the line betw;en Stewarts town and Portaclown. ‘, t 4th.! The branch from Castle Dawson, at Randals town, as laid down on the plan of the Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine Junction Railway to be the line adopted.'" Upon this award being made an amalgamation - of the two companies took place ; the substance of which was, that a joint board was to be formed, consisting of eight members of each committee; that , the funds of the two companies be placed at the disposal of the united board ; that the line to be so constructed should be called "The DUblin, Belfast, and Coleraine Junction;" that the share holders should reciprocate equally in the benefits, and that the expences heretofore incurred, as well as the future, should be pail out of the joint funds, and, lastly, that the shareholders • of the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush Extension Company should be admitted shareholders in the united company upon equal terms as the subscribers to the original scheme. It may be observed, that the Dublin, Belfast., and Coleraine Junction shares, which were originally 501. shares, were reduced, 'under the provisions of the Act just 'obtained, to 251. shares, foe the purpose of meeting the convenience of the shareholders in this Company, whose shares were only 251., and that a shareholder in the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush Company, and the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush Extension Company, will therefore be entitled for every share he holds in either of the above companies to have one in the Dublin, Bel fast, and Coleraine Junction Company. " The directors having made these arrangements, immediately announced by advertisement, for the infor mation of the shareholders, that the amalgamation had taken place, and they have only waited for the royal assent being given to the Bill before they called togo.her the subscribers to submit the particulars F- !h: it proceedings, and, as they hope, to receive froin thee' their sanction and approval. The directors, ;11:: ee'tedon, woul4 only remind the shareholders that, adopting these measure=, they have saved a very corniithintble expendhire of money, and secured, by the co. operation of rho two to lies, Cie safety of a Bill for car rvin..;; out the prhjoet. ,The object originally con p'tem latetl hasbeen attained, the opposit'on which one:' ex sted converted into a friendly alliance, and the inters sts the ‘harehoiders preset-v.. 4 and prot cted to the utmost." The CHAIRMAN thon WOVt d the adol.tion of the re port, which %vas seconded. An amentltnent was proposed and f, e , ,on d• d, to the effect i hat theaulaigamatioti should not take place, and that the money to which the shareholders were entitled should be refunded. and the Company dissolved. Mr. WILSON said he thought it would be consulting Cie lysst iit,:ercsti: of .the company if they proceeded with tly3 privosed atalganrition. Several ot h er sharehokkrs expressed thentielves to the same eftcet. SPrutineers having hc,c7i anDolll l Thl, Ten of the shareholdcrs left the room, an from the statement of the scrutineers, it appeared that the amend ment was negatived, and the original resolution carried; th.Wnumbers being ;a acTor the amalgamation 7,595 7 . lr Against it B7O those holding scrip were permitted to vote, and there appeared to be the strongest desire on the part of the chairman to give all parties fair play.

E6q., of Milton House, near Rayborough, and a party of poachers. It ap pears that information had been conveyed to the keepers, that two men belonging to the neighbourhood, well-known poachers, intended trying certain open lands, abounding with partridges, with a description of net generally used upon such occasions, and the keepers were accordingly on the look-out. At a late hour. five men made their appear ance and commenced operations, but were speedily inter rupted by the keepers, when a fight took place. Neither party carried fire-arms, but a desperate struggle was main tained with stout sticks, during which, one of the keepers was struck down senseless by a blow on the head, and his companions. finding the poachers too much for them, were obliged to retreat. The poachers having decamped, the keepers returned to the spot where the affray took place, and carried off their wounded com p anion. On exa mination , the man's skull was found to be dangerously fractured. On the following morning two of the gang, who had been recognised by tl4O keepers, were taken into custody. PROTESTS AGAINST THE SUGAR DUTIES ACT. LORD STANHOPE'S PROTEST. DISSENTIENT, 1. Because the importation into the United Kingdom of sugar which is produccd by the labour of slaves tends to promote the slave trade, with all its atrocities, and is quite inconsistent with the principle upon which this country has so long acted, and for which it has made, and still continues to make enormous sacrifices. 2. Because there is no reason to apprehend a deficiency in the supply of sugar from other sources, as the quan tity which is produced in the East Indies and in other British possessions is rapidly increasing, which would also be the case with the British colonies in the West Indies if they received due protection and encouragement. 3. Because the proposed measure would be most un just to those colonies, and would be ruinous to their in terests, which have already been grievously injured by reducing the price of their produce without a cor responding reduction of the taxation to which it is sub • ject, and by the want of sufficient labourers for their cultivation. 4. Because the consequences of the proposed measure might be very calamitous, and might occasion such dis tress and discontent as would ultimately lead to the separation of those very important colonies, which, when deprived of the protection that is justly due to them, might also lose their allegiance. STANHOPE. LOVELL and HOLLAND. GAGE. DENMAN, for the first reason. Aug. 10, 1846. S. OXON, for the first reason. LORD BEXLEY'S PROTEST. DISSENTIENT. 1. Because the theories by which this Bill is defended, if true, ought to have been long ago laid before the public, in order to their being fully and impartially con sidered ; whereas this Bill, which assumes their truth without adequate discussion, has been passed with such haste and in such a crisis of affairs as to preclude inquiry. 2. Because the slave trade carried on from the coats of Africa has long been acknowledged by the Legisla• time of thi, country, and by the general consent of civilised nations, to be the greatest practical and moral evil now existing upon earth, and this country has, under this conviction, for many years attempted to sup press it at a great expenditure, not only of money, but of the lives of her people. 3. Because this trade is now almost wholly confined to the export of slaves from Africa to Brazil, and to the Spanish colonies in the West Indies, for the purpose of the cultivation of sugar; and on that account the con sun4ion of sugar produced in those countries has been subjected to heavy di..:criminating duties. 4. Because this Bill, by opening the British market to sugar the production of Brazil and the Spanish colonies on equal terms with that of countries in which no slave trade has been carried on for many years, and even with the colonies and dominions of Britain, must give a great and immediate encouragement to that unchristian and inhuman traffic. 5. Because to give any encouragement to such a traffic for the sake of any expected fiscal or commercial advantages would cover this country with indelible dis grace, as an infamous barter of our religious and moral duties for mere lucre. 6. Because this Bill inflicts a grievous injury on the British colonists by exposing their produce to the un restricted competition of foreign countries,;which con tinue to be supplied with the labour of African slaves. BEXLEY. S. OXON, for reasons 1,2, 3,4, and 5. DENMAN. Aug. 13, 1846, LORD ELLENBOROUGA'S PROTEST. DISSENTIENT, 1. Because the Bill, by increasing the consumption of sugar the produce of Brazil and Cuba, will increase the demand for the slave labour by which that sugar is pro duced, and thus tend to stimulate the slave trade, through which that labour is supplied. 2. Because the Government of this country has been engaged for more than 30 years in endeavouring to in duce all foreign states to prohibit and prevent the slave trade ; and has recently concluded a treaty with France for the conjoint application of a large naval force to its suppression, while Parliament has passed enactments of an unusual and striagent character to facilitate the ac complishment of that object. 3. Because, to establish relations which tend, by en couraging the slave-trade, to counteract the measures so adopted for its suppression, is inconsistent with good faith towards France, our ally, and dispareging to the policy and to the reputation of this country. 4. Because the immediate reduction of the discrimi nating duties on British and foreign sugar, in the man ner proposed, and the gradual assimilation of those duties as it is to be effected by the Bill, are measures for which India and the colonies are in their present condition not sufficiently prepared, the West Indian colonies especially still suffering under the effect of the various conflicting enactments which Parliament—first, in its unscrupulous cupidity, and since in its late re pentent morality—has passed with respect to them, and India having been only recently enabled, by a tardy act of common justice, to compete on equal terms with the other sugar-producing dominions of the Crown. 5. Because the projected scheme for facilitating the in troduction of labourers from Africa into the West India colonies is not yet in detail before Parliament, although proposed as a means of enabling those colonies to meet on more favourable terms the foreign competition to be created by the Bill; and there is but too much reason to apprehend (the condition of Africa being considered) that this projected s'etne of relief, cannot be effectual without practical-; reviving the sieve trade in British vessels, under the specious disguise of immigration. 6. Because the whole measure is of a nature to convey the impression that the people of this country are become tired of the honourable but costly character they had as sumed, of the moral instructors of nations; that they are now resolved to seek compensation for the charge they are bound by treaty to incur, in endeavouring to suppress the slave trade, from the increased revenue to be &rived from regulations tending to its encourage ment; and that they no longer acknowledge the claim of Indite and the colonies to have their interests vie:lly r considercd, athongli unrepresented in Parliament. ELLE NIAOROI.A3 S. OXON, for the Ist, 2d, 3d, and 6 h reason:3. BEXLEY. BROUGHAM. Aug. 13, 1846. THE r OST-OFFICE ORDER FORGERY. William 'Waldron, who stands charged with fraudu lently obtaining a Post-office order, by forged letters to the secretary of the General Post-office, who was appre hended a few days since at Berkhampstead, has been finally examined by the Mayor of Banbury. I►ir. Phillips, from the solicitor's office, Post-office, at tended to conduct the prosecution, but said that, under the circumstances, the Postmaster-General did not press the charge, but left it with the magistrates to deal with it according to their judgment. The facts stated at the previous examination were, that so long back as January last a Post-office order was obtained by a Mr. Palmer, of Gravesend, and en closed in a letter directed to a Mr. Davis, a theatrical rrformer, then at the Daventry Theatre; but it after wards appeared that he never received the letter, but that some other person had written from Banbury, re questing the Secretary of the General Post•office to allow the town of payment to be altered from Daventry to Banbury; the letters were written in the name of Davis, and the request was complied with. Mr. Peale, the officer of the establishment, however, traced the prisoner, and apprehended him. Pafrner, clerk to Messrs. Matthews and Co., solicitors, at Gravesend, deposed that on the 17th of January last he obtained an order in favour of Davis, payable at Daventry, and never heard any more of it till May last, when he was surprised by Davis stating he had not re ceived it. Davis deposed that he was a performer in Jackerman's compiny, and that ho lodged with the prisoner, who was a!so a performer. Prisoner knew that be had ,vritvn for money. Witness left Daventry two days o,forc the e.mpany, and came to London ; the company went on to Banbury. Vituess never gave any sanction to prisoner to take the letters, receive the money. or to write to the Post-office authorities on the subject of having the order transferred, fhe handnriting of the letters he believed to bo that of the prisoner. The post ~istress at Banbury deposed that the pri soner, representing himself as Davis ' took the order, and askei how he was to proceed in the matter to have it altered to Banbury, and she Suggested the applica tion to the secretary. About a fortnight after, a Miss Capron, of Banbury, presented the order, and on her ,tatement that Davis was ill she paid the amount. Miss. Capron deposed that she presented the order it tree request of the prisoner, who lodged with her father, and paid the money to him. The prisoner tultnithal that he had written the letters to the secretary," and intelOed bstse niaele up LLe The MAYott said that, iu order to protect the public, he had no other alternative than to commit the prisoner for trial at the next assizes, and bound over the post office constable to prosecute. Bail could not be accepted under the circumstances. SLAVE TRADE.—It appears from returns just laid before Parliament, that in the year 1845, there were 56 ships of war (of 886 guns, and 9,289 men) employed for the sup pression of the slave trade. Of these, 13 were steam vessels, and 28 sloops; and 27 ships with 282 guns, and 3,334 wen were employed on the, west coast of Mic a st a tion. 1;1 tote year ; 1845, the c3.,t of the vessels on the we: I; east Africa, wns 291,5011 ; and of vesseli not exclu,ively used o:f the coa , t ' 414,953/., making a total . of 706,4541. There were 168 deaths on the west coast of Africa in the year, officers and men; and 93 in the vessels employed elsewhere, making a total of 259 deaths; more over, there were 271 officers and men invalided-104 in the vessels on the west coast of Africa. VESSEL PICKED Up.---On Friday, as the Waterloo, of London, was passing St. Abb's Head, she spied at a dis tance the hull of a vessel buffeted about by the wind and waves as if no person was on board. She made up to her, and on boarding found her to be the Alexandre, a fishing lugger, of Graveliues, apparently about 60 tons burthen. There was no person on board, and the masts were cut away as if eith a hatchet, the mainmast about two feet and the foremast about seven feet from the deck. Not a rope or block was to be found. The cabin companion was carried away and the hatches were broken up. No provisions were found except a cask of biscuit and a small quantity of potatoes. Not the least appearance of the men's chests or bedding . were to be seen. She was laden with herring barrels, a few of them filled with salt, the rest empty. The vessel was brought up on Saturday by the Waterloo as far as Broughty Castle, and afterwards towed to the harbour by one of her boats, where she m y n s o t wery._Dnd lies, What ilace thasb r e t c isc om r. e of the crew. remains IL, yet a LATEST PRICES OF SHARES,' IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK. • From eze Ofik PUBLISHED EVERY TUESDAY .

NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpaol, Aug. 27. (Before Mr. Justice CnEsswELL.) _ _ The Court Was engaged nearly the whole day with two special jury cases, one respecting a watercourse, and another for a nuisance, the details of which were of no interest but to the parties. (Before Mr. Justice WIGIFITMAN.) David 'lurhington was indicted for having, on the high seas, stolen 40 sovereigns, the property of Patrick Lynch. The prisoner, it appeared, was an Irishman, who had for some time carried on business as a cabinet-maker at New Orleans, and was a fellow-passenger with the pro- Aecutor, on heard the Crelnone e frone that, pert 'to Liver p)ol. tie and his wife - slept in a sreall - hOti , ,e - On . the deck, whiph was also ocinipied by the peesecutor. The :latter described himself as having been a soldier in the United States army ,for ,five .years, and on . his disc'ertrge received a sum of upwards of ilia. for ' arrears of pay, and for work of various kincls which he had performed. Of this money he, some time after he left New Orleans, sewed 40 soverCign-ein a heir, and put theyernainder in a purse. These he some . time after, deposited ins hiS trunk, which was'in the small house on deck already mentioned. On Easter Sunday he saw his money safe, but on the folloWing Tuesday it was' gone. Inquiries were ; made on board the ship, and the passengers were required to show what money they had got.about them.. -The prisoner produced a purse with about 30s. in it, which he declared was all ti:: money he had in the world. The . search was unsuccessful. • During the voyage,•the prisoner asked the prosecutor whether the money he had lost was marked, and hearing it was nor, he seemed arixious, several . times, to impress on the mind of the prosecutor that, in that case, there was no use in trying to press it any further, and that when he got to Liverpool any attempt to recover it would be in vain. The prisoner was observed, previous to the arrival of the vessel at Liverpool, planing a small piece of wood, and at another time busily engaged in doing something to the stock of his gun. On approaching Liverpool, the prosecutor went ashore, and came back with a policeman. The prisoner's gun was examined, and behind the metal plate on the stock was found . to be scooped a small cavity, in which were a number of half-dollars, which, however, formed no part of the property lest. On a further search, in a large box ho kept for his tools, a small hole was found behind the lock, in which was a sovereign. He said he hail no more money. However, in anot her smaller box, placed behind a, small bar of wood which ran across the lid to strengthen it, and which was similar to the bar he kid been seen planing, were found l 4 sovereigns. The prisoner, it appears, had several times during the voyage represented himself as haying, no money, and bud repeatedly attempted to sell his watch to obtsiu the means of genie. home to Ireland. He was taken before the magistrate and discharged, but was •VArbsequently apprelaeirled and .conatnitted for trial.. In In the sole of his. boot ,several pieces of g old -were found to -he hidden, he having, been seen, it WftS said, during the voyage,' doing something to the boot in question. Mr. Sergeant WeeierNs addressed the jury for the de fence, contending that there was no evidence to show the prisoner had committed the robbery-supposing the prosecutor ha l ever been robbed at all. His denial of being possessed .of money Was only in accordance with the practice of his cottn6ryinen in that class of life, who, when travelling, :were wont, in some degree for security, and in some degree to stimulate the kaidness and charity of those am , )ng whom they were, to assume a poverty which sometimes was not real. Verdict, Not Guilty. 'Villain Crawley was tried, on two successive indict ments,• -for cutting and wounding Mary Lawton and Catherine Riley. Mr. James appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner was not defended by counsel. It appeared from the statement of Mary Lawton that she, being in company with another girl, met the pri sener, a sailor, at a public house called Storey's, in this town. The prisoner asked the girl, the prosccutrix's companion, to ro out with him, which she declined, and shortly actor, w hile he was sitting beside the prosecu trix, lie; without apparently:any provocation, struck her with his sheath knife en the loge. He then wen t out, end the proaecutrix found herself wounded, the knife havinglo.ssed thr.iugh her clothe and inflicted a wound, but not of any serious nature. He very shortly after, as ;Appeared on the ecoud indictment, went to the house where Riley lived with her- mother, and, according to Riley's statement, without any provocation whatever, broke his pipe across her face. She had known the pri soner before. Oe her going into the house he followed her, and went up stairs, where without, as the witness declared, anything further occurring, he kicked a young woman of the name of Toole, who was in the prosecu trix's company, and stabbed Riley herself in the cheek, and was malting a second blow, when she put up her nand and was wounded in one of the fingers. At the desire of the prisoner, the prosecutrix's mother was called. She said that.she had been up in the room above where this was ails ged to hare taken place, and that there were many per,:ons, men and women, assailing 'lie prisoner there. His own story corresponded with this statement, and he declared that the wounds received by the prosecutrix must have taken place accidentally, when' she wasestrug;li e; on the ground to get the knife from hini, he: baying been obliged to draw it in self defence. Verdict on each indictment, Guilty of a common assault. To be imprisoned ten months on each indictment. James Lyon, a dissipated drunken-looking man, was indicted under the statute for stealing a lease, being evi dence of the title of John Maallade to a . certain dwell ing-house. Mr. Blair conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Blackburn. It appeared that about a year anal a half ago the prose cutor took from the prisoner a lease for twenty-one years of the dwelling-house in question. The prisoner was in embarrassed circumstances, and the prosecutor several times advanced him money. On the evening whyn:the circumstances occurred which resulted in the presA'lt indictment, the prisoner went to the house, and after haying some lea with the prosecutor,. the. subject of money matters was introduced. The file of receipts fo . r, moneys advanced by the prosecutor was produced , WI, with respect to one of these, which had been receive" from the prisoner's attorney, who drew up the lease, and who is since dead, a question arose; The prisoner sail it was not in the same handwriting as the le,s e i . and accordingly that instrument was produced. ulh e rmeipt was compared with it, and the prisoner then I L mif ted that the former was a genuine instrument. 11w. prosecutor laid down the lease on the table, and t urned round to look at his day-book. The prisoner, it wo appear, took this opportunity of snatching up the le n and running away with it. The prosecutor atteolP , r; to detain him, but in vain. He was apprehended to_ same night about ten o'clock, and on being taken int° custody by the officer, he said to the prosecoti/r1 " Mac Glade, I have you now, and I give:you warning tu leave at this time twelvemonth." • Verdict—Guilty.
