NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, 3fONDAIY.--T ;0u rrt-rm;tllar, compris ing Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., president ' • Cap tains John Pasco, of th e Vi c t ory •, Sir Baldwin Wake Walker, of the Constance ; Woodford I Williams, of the Avenger ; Commander Willcox, of the Victory ; and Mr. George Lamburn Greetham, Deputy Judge Advocate of the Fleet, assembled this morning, on board the Victory, to try Mr. William Ellis, supernu merary carpenter of the Victory, on the following charge : " For that he, the said Mr. William Ellis, then being a supernumerary carpenter of her Majesty's ship Vic tory, did, on the 13th of June, 1846, embezzle and im properly take away from her Majesty's ship Trinco malee, in Portsmouth Dockyard, four pounds of paint composition, and five ounces of nails and brads." Sergeant Catling, of the dockyard police, proved he saw the prisoner coming out of the blacksmith's shop in this dockyard, about half-past one P.m., on the day stated in the charge, and he appeared to have something weighty in his coat pockets ; that on the prisoner's coming out of the dockyard he (witness) searched him, and found in his coat pocket a small wooden box, with a tin cover, which box was full of mixed paint. In his hat was found a tin canister or pot, also filled with mixed paint. While being searched the prisoner took out of his trousers pocket, and delivered to witness, some iron nails, also Queen's stores, and marked with the broad' arrow, which, together with the paint, he acknowledged to having abstracted from the Trincomalee corvette under his charge. Lieutenant Henry Watson Hall, director of the dock yard police, proved the prisoner's acknowledgment of having taken the stores from the Trincomalee. Mr. James Horsey, clerk to the storekeeper of Ports mouth Dockyard, proved Sergeant Catling's delivery to him of the stores found upon the person of the pri soner ; the value of the paint, nails, and brads was about Is. 3d. This was the case for the prosecution, which being closed, Mr. C. H. Binsteed, of Portsmouth, the prisoner's solicitor, applied for time to make out the defence, alleg ing he should be able to prove his client was of unsound mind, and not consequently answerable for the commis sion of the act set forth in the charge. The Court allowed until to-morrow at nine o'clock, A.M., and then adjourned. TUESDAY.—The Court met this morning at nine, but immediately after adjourned until nine to-morrow morn ing, to await instructions from the Admiralty, the Pre sident having doubts as to the legality of trying the prisoner by a court-martial for the offence with which he stood charged. WEDNESDAY.—The usual signal gun was fired at eight o'clock this morning, and at nine the members of the Court were all re-assembled, when Rear-Admiral Parker stated that, having consulted the law officers of the Crown upon the case, he had come to the conclusion that the prisoner could not be legally tried by a court-martial. He thereupon committed him to the custody of the civil power, and the accused will take his trial at the next general quarter sessions for the borough. The Court was then dissolved. Extract of a private letter, dated Cork, July 11,1846 : —" I have just time to send you a line to inform you that to-day, rather suddenly, a signal was made to land field pieces, and man and arm boats, &c. About 1,300 ma rines were landed, and 14 field-pieces, at a place called Cork Bay. There was some little difficulty in landing the cannon, owing to its being low water. Everything else went on well. There was no firing, it being intended as a prelude to Monday next, when a regular field day, with firing, is to take place. The field-pieces were manned by the seamen, who went through the exercise with much spirit and good will. The whole was under the command of Captain Willes, of the Vanguard." The Avenger, steam-frigate, Captain W. J. Williams, although far from complete, being still in the hands of the joiners and painters, went out of harbour to-day, being required for the service of his Highness Ibrahim Pacha and his suite to-morrow. The royal yacht will be reported ready for the use of her Majesty to-night. All the workmen aro to be out of her this evening. It is understood that her Majesty, with the Prince and Royal Family, will embark in her to-morrow, should the weather prove favourable, and take a short excursion, accompanying Ibrahim Pacba, in the Avenger, outside the Isle of Wight, as a parting com pliment to the illustrious stranger. The Raven cutter, Lieutenant Commander Stephen, arrived from Sheerness last evening, bringing the marines belonging to this division paid off from the Albatross, and supernumeraries. She sails to-morrow morning for North Yarmouth with naval stores. No. 16,795. LON DON, SATURDAY EVE NI N G S N 9 JULY 18, 1846. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON. The attention of the Equitable Policy Holders i. particularly called to the Half Credit Scales of Premium of this ComFany, by which Table the Bonus to be declared at the next investigation, in January, 1850, may be secured at a present Annual Payment Of one half the rates charged by other Companies. In the event of death, the sum insured will be paid, less the amount of Premiums on Credit. Should the life insured survive the declaration of the Bonus, the Policy may be allowed to lapse, and the Company will renounced I claim for the Half Premiums which may be due thereon ; or, in the event of the party being at that time in bad health, the Policy can be kept up by commencing to pay the full Premium of the age as , when first accepted. The above plan, originating with this Company, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last Equitable Division in 1840, when it was largely adopted, and many of the Policies then effected are still in force, and large Bonuses have been added to them on the scale of the following Table:— Sum Assured.

UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. No. 8, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON. THE SIXTH GENERAL MEETING OF PROPRIETORS. The Meeting of the Shareholders was held in the office of the Company, No. 8, Waterloo-place, London, on FRIDAY, July 10, 1846. JAMES STUART, Esq., Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the Chair. The annual report of the receipts and disbursements of the Com pany, to the 31st of December, 1845, and of the amount of their funds, and also the report prepared by the auditors of the Company of the accounts of the Company, having been, in terms of the deed of settlement, laid before the meeting and read, they proceeded, as re • quired by that deed, to the election of four Directors and one Auditor, in the room of those retiring at the annual meeting. The Chairman then expressed the satisfaction which the Board of Directors had in meeting the Proprietors of the Comptmy, aid hasilfig an opportunity of making them acquainted with the state of their affairs for another year. There is now laid on the table a detailed statement of their accounts, framed by their Secretary and Ac countant, from the formation of the Company, twelve years ago, to the 31st of December, 1845, which contains well -arranged informa tion, amply sufficient to explain to the Proprietors the continued suc cessful progress of the Company in the amount of insurances, of premiums, of their funds, and annual income. 1. The amount of assurances effected in the year, from the Ist of January to the 31st of December, 1845, is 4 05,6341.—a sum greater by 62,510/. than in the year 1844. The regularly and almost un interruptedly progressive increase of the business of the Company cannot be more convincingly proved than by reference to the amount of sums annually assured by the Companysince its formation in 1834. For the first seven years they averaged above 200,0001. a year. Their amount in round numbers was : In 1841 1842 .... •• • ...... 284,000 And in 1845 ...... • 405,634 1843 ••••••• • . • • • • 350,000 It may be proper to notice, that had all the proposals for insurance offered to the Directors during the year been accepted the amount would have been 623,9891. 2. The amount of premiums had of course progressively increased, being— In 1841.. ••.• . • • • £42,000 In 1844 .• ......... . • £63,000 1842....... 48,000 And in 1845 .. •• • ...... • 72,000 1843 • • in 1844. 3. The annual income of the Company to the 30th of June, 1846 is, as nearly as it can be ascertained, 84,838/. 6s. Id., greater by 2,7371. Bs. 3d. than at the 30th of June, 1845. It is to be observed that the amount of disbursements has been much increased, and of income diminished during the last year, by the large expenditure in the purchase of the premises, Nos. 8 and 9, Waterloo-place, inclu ding the houses formerly occupied by this Company and by the London and Westminster Bank, and in the alterations and improve ments necessary to render them available for the purposes of the Company. The agencies of the Company, especially at Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle-on-Tyne, and Dublin, are in a flourishing state. The amount of sums annually assured by the agent at Glasgow in the three last years has varied from 50,000/. to 96,000/. The premiums received from Glasgow during the last year, 1845, amounted to 5,250/. The Proprietors are of course aware that, in terms of the deed of settlement, divisions of the profits of the business of the Company must be made at intervals of not less than five and not more than seven years, so that the first division having been made up to the Ist January, 1841, a division might have been made up to Ist January, 1846. On giving due consideration to the reports and calculations of their actuary, Mr. King, who had bestowed great attention on the Subject, and has had several meetings with them, it appeared in the end to all the Directors, some of them being at first of different senti ments, that it was more for the Interest of the Company, and of codise more expedient, te' delay the next division of profits to Ist January, 1848. It only remained for him to congratulate the proprietors on their now, for the first time, assembling in a house and offices in point of situation, accommodation, and in all respects so admirably suited for their extensive establishment. Ther had only one cause of regret, that the active and zealous manager of the Company's concerns from the outset, the resident director, Mr. Boyd, was prevented, by continued indisposition, from having the enjoyment so fully as he otherwise would have had, of the superior accommodation which the improvements made in the house afforded. He was sorry to observe Mr. Boyd's presence in the meeting, because he knew that it was at the risk of his health. Indeed, notwithstanding his long•continued indisposi tion, he had very regularly attended the meetings of the board, evincing the same zeal and interest for the welfare of the Company as at any previous period. Mr. De Castro conceived that, after the lucid explanation of the Company's affairs given by their respected chairman, Mr. Stuart, very little was necessary on his part to add to that satisfactory statement; but he took this opportunity, in rising to return the proprietors thanks for the renewed confidence they had just conferred on him by his re-election as a director, to answer the inquiries made by some of the proprietors as to the present ap plication of their funds. Besides their paid-up capital, a large investment had lately been made in Government securities; upwards of 171,000/. is due to the Company on loans, rever sions, &c.; and sums of considerable amount are in the hands of their blinkers, and have been applied in the purchase of their valua ble premises in Waterloo-place. Their property had been uniformly so securely applied, that their whole loss by bad debts in the course of twelve years only amounted to 6001. It was proposed by John Connell, Esq., seconded by M. D. Lindo, Esq., and resolved unanimously—That the report be received and approved. Thanks of the meeting were then moved by A. H. Macdougall, Esq., seconded by D. Q. Henriques, Esq., and resolved unanimously, to the Chairman, Deputy-Chairman, an Directors, for the attention and ability continued to be shown by them in the arrangement of the affairs of the Company. M., D. Linde, Esq., said, that he took upon himself to propose, in dependent of the foregoing resolution, a special vote of thanks to Ed ward Boyd, Esq., the resident Director, and founder of the Company, for his indefatigable zeal in bringing it to its present state of prospe rity; which was seconded by John Mitchell, Esq., and carried una nimously. JAS. STURT, Chairman. The most cordial thanks of the meeting were then voted to James Stuart, Esq., the Chairman, for his able and courteous conduct in the chair.

These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to underitand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened time", except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in theiroevers.l healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.

ASSIZE IN TELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Chelmsford, July 17. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) U 25 " k George Hyams, ..,, was indicted for burglariously brea. ing and entering the dwelling-house of William Farrer Ste yens, at Bulphan, and stealing a gun and other articles, his property. Mr. T. Chambers conducted the prosecution. The circumstances under which this offence was committed appeared by the evidence to be of a very outrageous charac ter. The prosecutor is a farmer, residing near Romford, and on the night of the 18th of December he was awoke by hear ing a noise in the lower part of his house, when he dressed himself, took a pair of pistols, and jumped out of the window, and he immediately saw a man, who presented a pistol at him, and with an oath said, " You you are dead," at the same instant discharging . the pistol, and he was slightly wounded in the head. He tried to discharge ene of his own pistols, but it missed fire, and he then ran away to obtain as sistance, and as he was doing so, the man fired a second pis tol at him which fortunately missed him. On his return to the house shortly afterwards he discovered that entrance had been obtained by forcibly breaking down a door on the ground floor, which had been bone apparently with a bricklayer's hammer, which was found on the premises, and a valuable gun and some other articles had been stolen. The prose tutor could not identify the man who fired at him as his face was blackened, but the case was clearly made out by the evidence of an accomplice named George Freeman, who was one of the party concerned in the outrage. This man stated, that on the day in question he started with the prisoner and a man named Scovell from London, and they arrived at the prosecutor's house about twelve at night, and that Scovell then said he would not go any further Rithout getting some money, and he then produced a pair of pistols and a bricklayer's hammer, and he (the witness) kept watch while the other two men broke into the house, and he soon afterwards heard the reports of two pistols. He likewise stated that Scovell and the prisoner blacked their faces and took off their shoes before they went into the house, and that after the pistols had been fired Scovell came out and said they must be off, and they all three went away and slept under a hedge, and next day Scovell and the prisoner went back to London. - -- The prisoner, who appeared to be a hardened desperate fellow, cross-examined the witness Freeman at considerable length, and asked him whether he was not the ringleader, and whether he did not take them down to commit the rob bery, and tell them he knew the house, as he had formerly been in Mr. Stevens's employ. The witness denied that this was the case, and said that he should not have watched while the robbery was being com mitted if Scovell had not threatened to shoot him if he did not do so, and he was frightened he would kill him. The prisoner here exclaimed, " Ah, that's very likely. You are a pretty fellow to be frightened." Baron PARKE asked the prisoner whether he wished to put any other questions to the witness ? Prisoner (in an impudentlone)—No, I shan't ask him any . thing more it's no use. Some other evidence was then adduced, corroborating in several important particulars the statement of the witness Freeman. The prisoner, on being called upon for his defence, merely repeated his former statement, that the witness Freeman was the man who planned the robbery. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, The jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Baron PARKE then sentenced the prisoner to be trans ported for 15 years, and he ordered that a reward of 10/. should be paid to Smith, an inspector of the Essex•constabu lary, and another officer of the same force, for their activity and zeal in tracing out the case and apprehending the prisoner. The other man, Scovel, was convicted at a former assize, and sentenced to be transported for fifteen years. Patrick Connor, 30, was indicted for feloniously and Maliciously setting fire to the common gaol of Romford, the said building being said to be the property of the High- Steward of that place. • Mr. Marsh conducted the prosecution. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner, who was in cus tody upon a charge of deserting from the 18th Regiment, was taken on the 4th of July from Ilford Gaol under a mili tary escort, to be conveyed to the head-quarters of the regi ment, and he was placed in Romford Gaol at night for secu rity, there being no other prisoner at the time in the establishment. Very soon afterwards the place where the prisoner was confined was discovered to be in flames, and on the door being opened he was taken out nearly suffocated, and it was ascertained that the straw in the prisoner's bed had been entirely consumed, and the building was burnt in several places. Mr. Anderson, the governor of Ilford Gaol, also deposed that while the prisoner was in his custody he admitted that he had wilfully fired the place, and also stated that he had been ill used in his regiment, and he would rather be transported than go back t o o it. The prisoner in his defence said, that on the way to Rom ford he had purchased a box of lucifer matches, and that after he was , locked up he lighted his pipe and fell asleep on the bed and it accidentally took fire. He said he had served ten years abroad, and was engaged in the war in China and other places, and it was not very likely he should wilfully have set fire to the place when he might have lost his own life. _ _ Mr. Baron PARKE having synmed up, the jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, July 16. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mv, Justice CsEi'swEtr.) Martha Duck, a woman aged 29, late of Scarborough, Was indicted for having, on the 11th of May last, at Newby, un • lawfully exposed to the cold her infant male bastard child, with intent to kill and murder the said child. Mr. Bliss and Mr. Travers conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was not defeneded by counsel. Wm. Wilson, assistant to Mr. Spink, butcher, of Scarbo rough; stated that on the llth 'of - May be• was in a field of his master's, near the road leading from Scarborough to Whitby. From that he could see into a field belonging to a Mr. Watson, and there he pdrceived the prisoner walking about. Watched her for some time, and saw her go into a barn which stands in the field. She shortly after left the barn again, and went near to a hedge. Saw her there squat down close by the hedge, and, on rising, leave something like a cloth, which she put on a bush. Afterwards she walked about for some time, looking around her, and after that she lay down for a time in a field belongifig to one Hopper. Watched her further, the witness being under a cliff, but the prisoner, getting on higher ground, perceived him. He then went up to her, and spoke to her. She appeared to bs large in the family way. This occurred at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Henry Richmond, another witness, said that he was in Watson's field at about six o'clock' the same evening, and there heard a noise as of the cry of a child, whichiproceedei from the hedge bottom. A boy who was there and the wit ness went and found a male child under the hedge. It was covered with leaves and grass, and there was some blood upon it. the boy picked it up, and put it into the hand kerchief of witness, who took it to a Mrs. Ireland, living at a short distance off. • The witness stated to the Judge that there was no regu lar footpath by where the child was fourid. It was found at about 200 yards from the barn. Saw no people at work near the spot. Mrs. Ireland said that she received the child from the last witness, and observed that it was newly born, and that the navel-strieg was not tied. She gave it a little gin and water, and then delivered the child to another woman, by whom it was suckled, and it was subsequently taken to the Scarborough union workhouse, Newby township, being within that union. • Mr. Thomas Dunkerley, the master of the workhouse, said that the child was brought there by Anne-Pexton, Mrs. Ire land's niece,' and Smallwood, • the overseer of the township. The infant had severe fits for some days after it came, but it was still living. Richard Roberts, superintendent okthe • Scarborough police, had taken the prisoner.opa the-14th of May. Told her what for. She told him that she bad not had a child for 10 or 11 years. Mr. William Henry Wilson, medical officer of the union, examined the prisoner after her apprehension. She had then been delivered of a child about a week. Mr. Cross, the surgeon, saw her, and told her he was grieved to see her in that situation, and then she said that the child was hers. Witness asked her where the after-birth was, and she an swered that it was in the field, and said that she had severed the navel-string of the child by tearing it with her lingers. Mr. Richard Cross, surgeon, deposed that the prisoner told him she was on her way to Suffield, a village about six miles from Scarborough, at the time it occurred to her. Her regular residence was at Suffield. The field in which she was seen, and where the child was found, was not the nearest way from Scarborough to Suffield. It would be a great dis tance round to go that way. Witness had before attended prisoner, and in October last she was in a state of pregnancy. The prisoner was convicted.—Sentence deferred. Jane Briggs, a handsome and re.speetable-looking young woman, was tried upon an indictnient charging her with having, on the 3d of April last, at Eastrington, in the East Riding, endeavoured to conceal the birth of her infant female child, by putting the dead body of the said child into a pond, and thereby secretly disposing of it. Another bill of indictment had been preferred against the prisoner, charging her with the murder of the same child, but that bill the grand jury ignored. Mr. Temple, with Mr. Dearsley, appeared to conduct the prosecution, and Mr. Bliss to defend the prisoner. The prisoner, it appeared, was a daughter of a fan.ner at Eastrington. She was married about five years ago, but about three years back her husband left her to go to America. On the 12th of May, in the forenoon, awitness, Ann Jackson, was crossing the foot-path which leads through a field called Samuel Hill's close, in Blacktoft, which field lies near the prisoner's father's house, and had formerly been in his occupation. The witness saw a bundle in the pond, which, having taken it out, proved to be the body of a female infant, wrapped and sewed up in a piece of cloth or blanket. At tached to the bundle there was a brick, fastened with a piece of cord. There was also the piece of a bedgown, and an old silk apron, forming part of the wrapping round the body. The body, with the clothes, were given to Mr. Raines, surgeon, of Newport, and by him to Thomas Rennison, a farmer, of Blacktoft, who placed them in a stable, where they were locked up for safety. Mr. Raines stated that the appearances of the child, though the body bad become decomposed, were healthy. It was a fine child; the lungs floated, and the stomach was empty, but healthy. Es was of opinion that the child had not died a natural death. There was extravasation of blood externally on the chest, and he considered that to have been caused by some blunt instrument during life—by a blow, and not by pressure. Mr. Hill, of South Cave, surgeon, agreed in the views ex pressed by Mr. Raines. The prisoner had been examined by the latter gentleman ' on the 15th of April, when he ascer tained that sho had had a child within a month or six weeks. She told him tb,lt it was a still-born child, but she did not know when, and had thrown it into the pond naked, and with nothing attadled to it. She then mentioned no per son's name to him. Matthew Maguire, su perintendent of police, stated that 15th. He found her in an he took the prisoner on tilt: un occupied house at Eastrington, along with two other women (Ann Norwood and Mrs. Huddit;stone), where she was at work, assisting the other two to deal: the ho4e. When he told her he wanted her, she ran to the trout door and pulled two cloths from her breast, and threw th,em down. Being told the charge, she first said that she hat. A had no child, and afterwards that the child was still-born, and that she had had it by :the pond in Sam Hill's close. The body she had put into the pond she said. Witness found in the house a piece of blanket, which appeared to be a part of that found with the child's body. Took the prisoner to the, Howden-station, and there cautioned her that she had better not say any more to him about the matter; but she would speak, observing to him that she was in the habit of talkibg, • even to herself, and could not help it. She then went on to contradict - her first statement, saying that her reason for having made it was, that the child being John Norwood's, she did not want to bring him into trouble, as she loved him as well as her husband. The 'child, she then added, was born in her father's house on the 3d of May, and John Norwood came to the house and into the room soon afterwards. He took the child to the window to look at it; and then told her it was dead, and that he would take it away, and asked her if she had anything in the drawer to lay it in. She told him there was some in the drawer. He then wrapped the child up and took it away under his coat, saying that she might trust to him; that he would have it buried, and that it was all right. The man John Norwood had afterwards been apprehended, but was discharged. Ann Norwood, sister of the man abovementioned, con firmed the constable's evidence as to the conduct of the pri soner at the house where she was apprehended. The piece of blanket found at that house had been brought there by the prisoner. The witness lives with her brothers, John and William Norwood. John was at home on the 3d of May. He went to bed at ten o'clock that night, and did not again go out. Margaret Ward, dressmaker, of Eastrington, stated that she lives in a house near that of prisoner's father. On the 3d of May, between • six and seven o'clock in the evening, saw the prisoneE,ppAs by her house, which is on the road from Eastrington to Sandholme, wearing a silk cloak, and carrying a basket. : She went in the direction of the pond in question, which is but a short distance out of the road. The defence offered by Mr. Buss upon these facts was foundad on the supposition that all the prisoner had said in her second statement might really have been the truth, and if so, the Learned Gentleman contended there was no evi dence in the rest of the case to convict her. The prisoner was convicted.—Sentence deferred. The causes tried on the civil side have hitherto been of little public interest, but there are more than the usual-num ber of special juries to come. Many of the common jury cases have been struck out of the list, owing to the absence of attorneys or witnesses. Mr. Justice Wightman, in the absence of other business to go on with, was engaged this afternoon in trying prisoners. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday a man named William Slater , clerk in the house of Keen, T e bb u tt, an d Ki pp i n, of 122, Wood street, warehousemen, was brought before Alderman Gibbs, upon the charge of having embezzled sums of money which he was instructed to collect from customers to the firm. Mr. R. Hughes, of Nos. 70 and 71, Chiswell-street, Finsbury, stated that on.the 10th instant, the prisoner received, on account of the above firm, the sum of 281. ls. 6d., from him, and signed his name in the book for the amount, the signature answering as a receipt for the money. _ _ Mr: J. D. Anderson, also a shopkeeper in Finsbury, stated that on the same day the prisoner received from him the sum of 12L, on account of Messrs. Keen, Teb butt, and Co., and signed his name for the amount, as a receipt. The prisoner, who it was stated had embezzled a larger sum, which was paid to him by another concern, was then remanded till Saturday week. John Lye was brought up charged with stealing a cloak, a shawl, and a coat. The prisoner was seen in company with an accom plice, ooking about for something so snatch at. A gen tleman's carriage, which stood near Cripplegate Church, presented an opportunity. The companion of the man at the bar whipped the three above-mentioned articles out of it, handed them to the prisoner, and away they both ran down Cammomile-street. The sudden and dis heartening cry of" stop thief" had the effect of checking and separating them. The prisoner dropped the pro perty, but was apprehended in his attempt to cut through a lane. The prisoner said he was as honest a man as it was easy to find, but unfortunately for the reputation he was entitled to he was poor, and while he was looking about him for employment, a man who was running threw the articles across his arm, and in his confusion he thought it was his business to run after the person who had given him the job, so after that man he certainly did go. —(A laugh.) It was stated that the prisoner dropped the articles the moment the pursuit was commenced. The prisoner —Yes, I certainly. did. I knew nothing of the party that threw them over my arm, and how could I tell'whether he came honestly by them or not ? —(Laughter.) I wasn't going to take away things by chance in that sort of a way. Committed for trial. • LOSS OF THE MAIDEN CITY STEAMER. STRANRAER, TUESDAY NlGHT.—Considerable alarm was created this morning by the receipt of a communication from the coast-guard station at East Tarbert, distant about fifteen miles from this port, announcing the wreck of one of the Irish packet steam-ships off that coast, with 110 passengers on board. Immediately Lloyd's agent and other persons con nected with shipping proceeded to Tarbert, and on arriving ascertained the report to be only too well founded. The ill fated vessel they found to be the Maiden City, a three masted steamer, Captain Richard Crompton commander, and that she had that morning driven ashore on the rocks under the part of the coast called the Mull of Galloway. The vessel, it appears, had for some time been running between Liverpool, Portrush, and Londonderry, with passengers, &c. She left Liverpool yesterday (Monday) at one o'clock, P.M., having upwards of one hundred passengers on board. The weather was as fine as could be anticipated, and so continued till near eleven o'clock, when the atmosphere became hazy. The course of the steamer was then, as we are informed, N.N.W., approaching the coast of Wigton, on the extreme south-western part of Scotland, between 120 and 140 miles from Liverpool. It appears almost certain that she was out of her track—whether from neglect or the force of currents it is impossible at present to state. Notwithstanding the dense state of the atmosphere, tht engines were kept going, as it is alleged, at full speed, when about one o'clock she struck violently the rocks before mentioned. A scene of the most painful character ensued amongst the pas sengers. Such was the force of the shock as to carry away part of her keel and hull, and the sea rapidly washing into her, compelled the passengers who were below to come on deck—many females, it is stated, being nearly drowned in' their berths. The captain perceiving the perilous condition of his vessel, and that she was fast sinking, kept her engines going at full speed, and succeeded in running her nearer the coast. Had the distance been much farther, in all probabi lity she must have foundered, and a fearful loss of life been the result. Another fortunate circumstance was the mild state of the weather—there being very little sea on. Signal guns having been fired, assistance was obtained, and the ter rified passengers were all landed in safety. On the dispatch of the last accounts from the spot it was expected the vessel would become a total wreck. PUBLICATIONS. Just published, price 6d.

At night, or in thick weather, it is not advisable to make Bermuda to the northward of 38 deg. 8 min. north lat., until the light of the land is seen. In coming from the westward, the light should not be ap proached nearer than twelve miles, unless brought to bear to the northward of N.E. by E. A vessel making the light to the southward should haul off immediately, as reefs extend from it to a distance of sixteen miles to the northward. Considerable stir has been created by the announce ment that the Rev. John George Wenham, 8.A., demy of Magdalen College, Oxford, has become a Roman Catholic. Mr. Wenham was taken out last year by Dr. Chapman, the first Protestant Bishop of Columbo, in order to superintend clerical education in the diocese, and to act as the Bishop's examining chaplain. It is feared that this secession will pre vent the appointment of further Colonial Bishops, who for the most part have been taken from the high-church party. —Cambridge Advertiser. The prospects of the wheat harvests are everywhere most promising, and reaping has commenced in somee dis tricts of this county. American flour is now offered in this market at about ss. per sack below the current price of Eng lish, and is considered equal in quality to our own growth.— Worcester Journal. DEATH or JOHN CLAUDIUS BERESFORD, ESQ. The name of Mr. Beresford is identified with the mer cantile, political, municipal, and social history of Ire land. He is no more; and at his death was nearly the last specimen of a class now fast passing away into ano ther world. Mr. Beresford was senior partner in one of the greatest banking-houses ever established in this country; he represented the metropolis at, and for many years previous to the union; and was one of the first members after that event, selected for the Imperial Parliament • he was an Alderman, and served the office of Lord Mayor for the city of Dublin with princely hospitality; and in his habits and intercour se with his fellows he wasoyous, frank, and entertaining. A j man with a kinder heart or more benevolent dispos i t ion never liveld, or a truer-hearted erex f i r s i te en d d . or A more theee gpeernieerdo.eust. individualnev the union, and when the Beresford , family were omnipo tent in this country, and the source from whence power, and patronage, and promotion flowed, he was the only man of his name—resisting all influence, and re jecting every entreaty—who stood forward the firm-and consistent opponent of the measure, and the Irish House of Commons did' not contain a more fierce or decided anti-unionist than John Claudius Beresford. In the terrible times of '9B, as Commandant of the Merchants' corps of yeomanry, a severe and distressing duty was committed to its captain.:' The exigency of the times, and the very nature of the functions to be admi nistered, heart, resolute of_pur pneisstee,rgedulekre ocifilicredencepultiaon firmn ,and rapid in execution. 'The very occupancy of such a position, under such circum stances, and at such a crisis, of course brought upon whose schemes w h e i whose e him the malignant vituperation of th e re b e lli ous an d w p as let h s is it b w us a in s es h s is to d e u x ty po te se a d n is d loy f al ru , st te, and detect and defeat; and hence it was that a charac ter was drawn of him—one which no man ever did less to earn. But let us draw a veil over these terrible times, and let us bury in oblivion the transactions of half a century in time. Long and many a year ago, Mr. Beresford, in the true spirit of a Christian, forgave his enemies, persecutors, and slanderers—departing this life at peace with all the world. He had attained his eightieth year, and died without enduring sickness, or suffering pain ; and so very tranquil were his last mo ments, that those around his death-bed were unable to pronounce the precise period at which the vital spark became extinguished.—Dublin Evening Mail. A most comical mistake occurred in the transmission of the new Irish Chancellor's appointment. As Sir Frederick Pollock sat after dinner ruminating on the sad - mutability of parties and the glorious ha-mutability of the bench, thank ing God that he was not, like other Sir Fredericks, doomed to stand afar off in penitent despondency, a letter on her Majesty's service was brought to him, which conveyed the startling intimation that my Lord Chief Baron was to con sider himself henceforth Lord Chancellor of Ireland. In the haste of initiatory proceedings the envelope had been ad dressed in error, and the Chief of the English Exchequer was thus subjected to the torturing tantalhation of a mo mentary clutch of the Irish seals. —Dublin Freeman.

The mowing of barley has already begun, ana.a.pl4o3l tiful supply is the produce.—Kentish Observer. Potatoes, except those planted late in May, are look ing exceedingly well everywhere. The late planted ones have come up irregularly, on account of hot, dry weather; but the plants in those fields which have come up since the rain fell are looking healthy and strong.

Accordingly, on the Ist of this month, at half-past six in the morning, his Majesty, accompanied by the King of Saxony, Prince Frederick of the Netherlands, Prince and Princess Charles of Prussia, and the Princesses their daughters, and a suite, consisting of M. Von Thile, Ministers of State, Baron Alexander Von Humboldt, the Saxon Ambassador at this Court, M. Von Minkovitz, and M. Von Fabriel, Master of the Horse to the King of Saxo n y, l e f t thi s c ityiby the:railway to Stettin, where they went on board the Queen Eliza beth steamer, and landed at half-past eight in the even ing, at Putbus. The King and the Prince of the Netherlands alighted at the seat of Prince Putbus, and Prince Charles and his family at the apartments engaged for them' for some weeks. Intelligence was there re ceived that his Majesty the King of Sweden was ex pected the following morning, being on an excur sion In the province of Scania, and gladly embraced this opportunity to give his daughter the Princess Eugenia the pleasure of again seeing the Princess Louisa of Prussia, youngest daughter of Prince Charles, with whom she had contracted a youthful friendship in 1843, It was therefore resolved to defer till the next morning an intended visit to the Stubbenkammer. The Swedish royal family arrived on the 2d, and rather unexpectedly, accompanied by the Crown Prince, who had just finished a tour of inspection in Scania. The King gave a dejeuner to his illustrious guests, and then went to the Stubbenkammer, where they passed the night. The Crown Prince and Prince Charles returned direct to Putburg, the rest of the com pany went in the steamer to Arcona, and thence round the east coast of the island to Putburg. After having dined at the residence of the Prince, the King went to compliment the Queen of Sweden on the birth-day of her Royal Consort, which fell on the following day, and with his illustrious guests visited the theatre. The King passed the night on board the steamer, and, accompanied by the Prince of the Netherlands, set out for Sans Souci on the following morning, the 4th, and arrived at nine o'clock the same evening. Princess Charles and her daughter remained at Put bus for sea bathing. The members of the Royal Family of Sweden stopped till the sth, and Prince Charles ar rived here on the 7th. This intended visit of the King to the island of Rugen gave occasion to the unfounded report of a marriage between the Crown Prince Charles of Sweden and the Princess Louisa of Prussia. BRUNSWICK, JULY 10. —His Royal Highness the Duke returned yesterday evening in good health from his journey to Venice. MALiaO, JULY 7.—Yesterday afternoon, about six o'clock, her Majesty the Queen arrived here with the Crown Prince, Prince Augustus, and the Princesses, three hours after the King arrived with Prince Gustavus. To-day we expect the Danish Ambassador, Co'int Von Moltke, with an invitation to visit the Danish Court, which they will accept, and pass two or three days at Copenhagen. The Queen and Princess will afterwards pass at least three weeks at the baths of Helsingbord. BERLIN, JULY B,—The presence of so eminent a statesman as Mr. Ducazes gives good reason to Con clude that political questions are in agitation. It is said that the increase of railway communication in Belgium and France has given such an impulse to commercial intercourse in various directions. that it appears to• French statesmen to be desirable to approximate to Prussia and the Zollverein, and that the Duke Ducazes is here on a mission to that end. NUTRIMENT IN SUGAR. — T he nutritive properties of sugar are much underrated in this country. As an aliment, Dr. Rush, of Philadelphia, maintains that sugar affords the greatest quantity of nourishment, in a given quantity of mat ter, of any subject in nature. Horses and cattle were fed wholly on it at St. Domingo for some months, when the ex portation of sugar and importation of grain were prevented from want of ships. During the crop time in the West Indies all appear fat and flourishing. The cattle fed on the cane tops become sleek and in fine condition. The negroes drink freely of the juice, and become fat and healthy.
