(Before Mr. Commissioner FONELANQUE.) D. LOUIS MEI ER ROTHSCHILD'S BANK'AUPTCY. The bankrupt, who was one of The parties failing during the nuoscrot:s stoppages in he ieesellery trade ;est year, including Messrs. Esumaaei.s and other wealthy firma appeared to day before the Court on the question of certificate. He is - deeiribed as a diamond merchant, carrying on business in Great Qieen-street, Lincoln's Inn fields. Hie debts amount to nbout 8,000/., and his liabilities to about 7,0001., while his assets have realized about 3,500/. Mr. Sturgeon opposed for Mr. Jesse], one of the as signees, and Mr. Lawrence for reveral other creditors. Ur. Cooke supported the bankrupt. The ground of opposition pursued by Mr STURGEON chiefly referred to the suspicious nature of a transaction with a person now abroad, named Schlessinger, and ex cessive expenditure. Mr. Sturgeon also charged the bankrupt with having previously been unfortunate at. Copenhagen, and not trading under the same name as he was now known by in London. Mr. LAIVRANCE took up the question of stork, and ar gued when the bankrupt passed his last examination The Learned Gentleman contended that if the account of stock was correct the bankrupt's profits were over-rated, and did not warrant his expenditure, whilst such pur chases as those involved in the statement of 6,5001., which now produced little more than 3,0001., proved him a reckless trader. On the other hand, if the account of stock was incorrect, then there was good ground for believing that fraud had been committed. In either case, the bankrupt could not hope to get his certificate imme diately, seeing the doubtful and suspicious circumstance connected with his failure. The bankrupt was then examined. He still persevered in adhering to a statement he made at a private sitting, of having parted with a considerable amount of property under threat to Schlessinger, at the time of the " great panic" in the jewellery trade. Explaining the allegation of passing under an alias when in Denmark, he swore that his proper name was Rothschild, though he did not take it up till he came to England. His business in Copenhagen was carried on in the name of Meyer. He failed there as a linendraper, having originally been in a mercantile house. When he first came to London he purchased Manchester goods on commission, and after a little time began" to dabble" in precious stones. At first his dealings were very trifling. They afterwards in creased, and in progress of time he turned his attention selely to the trade. By Mr. Comm —His creditors in Copenhagen were quite satisfied with his conduct. His assets at first paid 12s. in the pound, and he had since discharged the other Bs. (A llamburgh paper was here produced, with an official notice on the subject, dated January, 1844.) It was a satisfaction to him to be able to state that his na tive creditors since his arrival in London had consti tuted him their agent. His present failure was owing to the general difficulties of the jewellery trade last, year, when Messrs. Emanuels and other houses sus pended payment. A question was mooted respecting certain moneys paid to two of the assignees shortly before the bankruptcy, and which was alleged to be the reason of their silence on the present occasion. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE said he was perfectly satisfied that those payments were correct, and the as sertion made no impression on his mind. After a lengthy and able address from Mr. CooKE, who went through the charges seriatim, characterising the opposition as vindictive in the extreme, and unsanc tioned by the body of the creditors. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE said, the most serious allegation made against the bankrupt rose from the ex traordinary discrepancy occurring in the amount which he stated he paid fur his stock and the value put upon it by competent persons. The bankrupt stated that his stoic cost him about 6,500/. Some particular cre ditors, to whom the stock was submitted, valued it at 4,800/. Another party, Mr. Blogg, who was represented to have extensive experience in the trade, thought that if it were brought to public sale the stock would not realise more than 3,600/., although, when examined, he admitted that 10 or 15 per cent. might be added to that amount. This extraordinary depreciation led to a sus picion that the stock was not actually the same as that bought, it being possible to conceive that with things of so great a value in a little space, it would be exceedingly easy to substitute oilier stones of' different value, colour, or fracture to make appearances favourable. The bank rupt had been subjected to severe examination in order to ascertain whether such substitution had or had not taken place, and he (the Learned Commissioner) felt bound to say, from Rhat had been elicited in evidence, that he believed no substitution had been made. So far he exonerated the bankrupt from that charge. But in coming to the conclusion that ro sub stitution had been made, and to account for the extrema. dinary difference in value which appeared in the stock, he (the Commissioner) was inclined to believe that the explanation given by one party during this inquiry had some weight in it, viz., that the bankrupt having the advantage of a large stock took out the best stones and sold them, so that the stock as it came into the hands of the assignees was not a fair sample of what it had been, but was merely the refuse of stock after the best had been parted with., It had been stated before the Court that, with the exception of a few articles, such as manu factured cameos and other jewels, which varied in value according to fashion, the several kinds of stones were not liable to great fluctuation. It therefore re sulted from that conclusion, that the statement of profit on the bankrupt's balance sheet was not a fair one, and insufficient to justify his expenditure. The next very important feature was the transaction with Schlessinger. This was a most singular affair, though it was corroborated 'in a measure by a party who had been examined. The bankrupt's wife, it must be re marked, had given her testimony on this subject with great firmness and propriety ; and, had corroborative evidence not been afforded in explanation, he (the Com missioner) should have regarded it as being one of those fabricated romantic tales of burglaries, omnibus rob beries, and highway losses, sometimes resorted to by bankrupts for balancing deficiencies or concealing pro• perty. The story told concerning Schlessinger was very obable, but still there were circumstances about the case which induced him (the Commissioner) to believe that the bankrupt had not forged it ; but, while acquit ting him of that crime, he must say the bankrupt had been very negligent and most culpably guilty in suffering a man to commit, according to his statement, all but felony, without seeking the aid of the police. That he should have parted with his property witheut at first t was n o t s i gne d, an d a l so covering fraud, it was ante dtha discoveringat et ' d , for :be tr t a h s te te h d a mostpturptheo c s eo rexceedingefeiP negligence on the part of the bankrupt, who knew at the time that he could not meet his creditors. The fact of the project of the 1,000/. being abandoned by the very transaction, and the loss of jewellery which he must have expected, if sold by Schlessinger in Pal is, would not be paid by him, but used by Schlessinger for his own purposes, must have ri Suchxh i exhibited i t e moss r s gave s and grave cul pable for rlegli suspicion; and thou g h h e (the Commissioner) convinced the bankrupt that hi s pos i tion could not be improved by er t c h e e a c s irczm circumstanc e s en e would not go to the extent of say i ng that he acted in cause collusion with Schlessinger, still it was approaching in nature a fraud, and for such negligence he (the Com missioner) would have severely punished the bankrupt, only he found that in his other conduct he had dealt very fairly. The majority of his creditors seemed in a manner to sympathise with his position. The few op • creditors had failed to make out a strong case posing . against him. He had delivered up what property he possessed; and it was tested by the certificate of a person who investigated the subject, that in all instances tried by way of experiment he did actually pay for his stock the price he named. His negligence, with the question of expenses and profit, were the only points he (the Commissioner) thought worth anything in conside r i ng the act of punishment. On these he should suspend his certificate for nine months from the time of the bank rupt's passing his last examination. Mr. Comm applied to his Honour for the bankrupt's protection. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE said he would allow 'he protection, as there was no fraud. The certificate was suspended on the ground); of culpable negligence in suffering the robbery (for it could be called little less) by Szchlessine ' .r to take pl ace , an d hi s expenses exceeding e what the Court consider, d his lair profits. DOMINIQUE 0. MORELL'S BANKRUPTCY. The bankrupt in this case was a surgeon-dentist, carrying on business in Larigharn-place. He also applied For his certificate. His debts (i nc l ud i ng those secured) are nearly 4,000/., but the assets are very small, and will scarcely pay the expenses of th e fi a t. He was oppos e d by Mr. Stafford, and supported by Mr. Cooke. The question involved was the conduct of the bank ropt in disposing of certain furniture to Mr. Wyan, of llighgate, consisting of a lady's wardrobe, and other articles necessary for a bed-room, in satisfaction of a dishonoured bill of 501, and also in deferring the pay ment of a small bill of 221., to a Mr. Lemale, when, ac cording to his banker's book, he had paid larger sums to other parties. These circumstances were laid before his Honour as substantiating charges of fraudulent prefer ence in contemplation of bankruptcy. The bankrupt's version of the affair, supported by the argument of Mr. Cooke was, that Mr. Wynn having taken a ladies school in the neighbourhood of Highgate, Mrs. Morell, being highly educated, undertook the ma nagement, and this furniture was reruoved for her ac commodation. Mr. Wyan having made some advances to the bankrupt, and the bill for 501. given for these Ad vances being dishonoured, the goods were accepted in satisfaction of that demand. The bankrupt declared the removal was not in contemplation of bankruptcy, for he was at the time negotiating the sale of his business, which, if it had been completed, would have satisfied all his creditors. With respect to the bill due to Mr. Lemale, the bankrupt slid he had offered 1 9 /. and paid the attor ney's costs ; b ut Mr. Lemale would hear of no arrange ment. A charge of extravagant expenditure was entered into; but Mr. Cooke, besides endeavouring to show that a variety of items were introduced which ought not strictly to have appeared under that head, claimed the indulgenc e o f t h e Court for a professional man's position when combating with difficulties in his pursuits. If Mr. Morel! was successful in business again, he would wil lingly pay the whole of his creditors. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE—DO you make that a condition in the receipt of your certificate? We COOKE—We will, certainly, to the extent of 10s. in the pound. Mr. Cotnnaissioner roeneANQUE—Yes, and I think you had better get back that furniture. You must do that before I take the certificate into consideration. I shall make it a rule in all cases where professional men come before me—whether surgeon-dentists, apothecaries, or attorneys —to import a condition into their certificates. In all those cases where capital is in the hands or in the brain it will he necessary to do so, because such persons, I find, are constantly failing, and as they carry their capital with them they are perfectly free, after they ob tain their certificate. It seema that the bankrupt, by - - out and 800 in. Mr. Hayward passes over the rail way about 85,000 tons a year, is one of twenty carriers working at the same station. The whole business of the railway i 3, perhaps, about ten times this amount Tne greater part of the teethe from this stati :ri is for the City. At ieast three. f o urths of the whole train .: is destieol for the City, the docks, and t lac, , s eastward of the station. The cost of cartage is dtp(, , ndtt.t upon the nature of the commodity conveyed. Iron goods are moved at a very low rate; from ss. to 6s. per ton. There is no charge less than ss. a ton. The Manchester pack and goods of that description are charged higher. Leicester goods being in small consignments arc charged 7s. per ton. If all goods were taken to Euston-square, instead of from Camden-town, a saving of from Is. to ls. 6d. per ton on cartage would be effected by the diminished distance. RAILWAYS AND THEIR MILITARY USES.—General Sir James Willoughby Gordon, Bart., G.C.B , G.C.H. and Major-General Sir John Fox Burgoyne, K.C.8., gave evidence on this subject. Sir J. W. Gordon gives his opinion generally upon the advantages to be derivf d, militarily speakin;s, from a connexion between the rail ways on the north bank of the Thames and those on the south bank of the Thames, and also as to the best means of connecting these railways for military purposes. The different metropolitan termini at pre sent executed are, he thinks, all well situated, and exceedingly well adapted for facilitating military movements. Does not see any advantage that would arise from a change. If anything like a central termi nus is intended, should ray it would be attended with inconvenience. The different termini now are all central, in a circle of somewhat large diameter, but still in a circle. If the circle be contracted, for military pur poses it might be attended with very serious incon venience. In assembling large bodies of troops with their necessary accompaniments, equipments, and bag gage of all kinds, women and children, it is difficult to put them in regular motion from any given place at any time ; but when these are all brought from different parts to one central place, and under different command. ing officers, can conceive nothing more calculated to create a very great confusion. Cannot see that the formation of a connecting line, or a railway joining all other lines in and round the metropolis, will facilitate military movements. The only inconvenience occasioned by the present termini is the time lost in moving bodies of troops from one station to another. It would be a saving, probably, of three or four hours between Nine Elms and Euston-square. To this extent connecting lines would undoubtedly be some convenience. The necessity, for military purposes, of a continuous con nexion between railways north and south of the Thames, altogether a question of time. In the last four years there have been moved by railways 250,000 people, of which about 12,000 have been women, and some 14,000 children ; and these have been moved with out an accident of any kind. Knows of no other conveyance which would show this result. Rail ways, therefore, are not only the more rapid, but also the more safe mode of conveyance. In the event of invasion or threatened invasion, it would doubt less be very desirable for the defence of the country to form a communication between the northern and southern lines of railway. An unbroken connexion be tween the northern and southern railways particu larly desirable for the purpose of moving cavalry and artillery. In moving troops generally, the more con tinuous the lino the better. Cavalry and artillery seldom removed by railway on account of the great expense at tending it. Whatever description of military force may be moved by railway, a continuous line always better than a broken one. Anything that requires to be taken from a railway at one point, and moved to another, is very inconvenient; and the more this can be avoided the better for the public service. In private life the incon venience and the risk in transporting horses is much greater than that of transporting human beings. The establishment of central stations in the metropolis, for the different railways, not necessary, and when so placed might be productive of great inconvenience. If large bodies of people are brought to one centre, there will be a confusion in getting them out of one place and into another; and if there were horse and artillery, the con fusion will be much greater. Can conceive nothing more convenient. Considers that the present termini are quite central enough. The less interrupted the line of movement is, the more convenient; whether the move ments be made on foot, or on horseback, or by railway, the principle is the same. Is at present using the railways for the purpose of moving troops. To the extent of 60,000 a year. Troops are usually moved by railways when the public service requires celerity of movement. Connecting Woolwich with Portsmouth by railway very desirable. Sir J. F. Bur goyne stated that he has turned his attention very much to the system of national defence, and the degree to which railways might contribute to it. Considers it of great importance to connect Woolwich with the southern and western parts of England by railway. The old mode of conveyance was chiefly by water, round the coast, and of course was subject to great interruption in time of war. That communication would be just as well afforded by railway for military purposes if it did not come nearer to London perhaps than two miles or thereabouts. It is not necessary to come through the heart of the metropolis to effect the object in view. Per haps it is better avoided, as in the case of the transport of ammunition, &c. The same would apply to a con nexion between Woolwich, or between the south of Eng land and the north ; it might be just as well carried round London as through it. Imagines that a few miles increased length would make very little difference in that respect, the great object is the continuity and non interruption of the intercourse. Thinks it very desir able to connect all the northern and southern lines for the purpose of perfecting a system of national de fence. The same railway carriages being available throughout the route of great importance in effecting a continuous line. 2,000 men require at least 100 car riages ; 2,000 men would be a small number for an emergency upon an invasion, or in any case of that kind, where it might be desirable to assemble a large number of troops. 100 carriages is a large number to carry on one line, therefore it would be of considerable import ance to make the carriages on one line available for any other. With the power that the railways ought to give to the Government, every soldier in Great Britain might be assembled on any one point in twenty-four hours, and even from any part of Ireland within a few hours more. But in bringing them by the different railways to Lon don, and moving them from London, unless all the car- ' riages can be made available, they will be taken down by driblets to the point of action. Without a continuous line, troops having arrived at Nine-elms for Portsmouth, from the Birmingham line, fur instance, would not find a sufficient number of carriages to take them on to Ports mouth. Any communication, though circuitous, that would enable all the carriages to be applicable, would meet the point alluded to. Sir J. W. Gordon suggest., with regard to all lines of road by which mili tary supplies of any kind are to be moved, that the Government should be consulted in tracing the line, and the proper military and civil authorities should report upon the line before it is made. This is par ticularly necessary, a 3 in case of military operations carried on in the country, the lines which were intended only for commercial purposes were found to interfere with those operations, either by impeding our own movements, or facilitating those of the enemy, the duty of the commanding officer would be to destroy them.— Sir J. F. Burgoyne conceives that the facility and ra pidity of steam navigation render the country very sus ceptible of being attacked on a sudden on the breaking out of a war, and it is very necessary to improve the means of defence. The only resources at command are the navy, fortifications, and the concentration of the troops. The navy might not be able to come in at par ticular periods. The fortifications have all yet to be made. Therefore it would be of still more importance to facilitate the concentration of troops. The forces might be concentrated faster than the enemy could land them; there is a great difficulty in landing a large num ber of troops; it takes a very long time. Witness attaches very great importance to a line being carried across the Thames to connect the northern and south ern railways; it is of very great importance, more par ticularly in London than in any part of Great Britain. PROGRESS OF FOREIGN LINES. MONTEREAU AND TROY ES.—ThO Council-general of the department of Haute-Marne have voted in favour of the continuation of this line. The Minister of Public Works has ordered that the continuation from Troyes, as far as Chaumont, should be the subject of a commis.>ion of inquiry. By this addition the Troyes line will meet that of St. Disler and Gray, and will become the shortest route from Paris towards the east of France, Northern Switzerland, and Germany. BORDEAUX AND CETTE.—lmmediately on the con firmation of the statutes of this company, a general ap pointment of the managing staff took place. M. tie Espeleta has been named president, and the Duke d'Albufera vice-president. In conformity with the ,statutes, two managing committees of five members each have been formed—one at Paris to superintend the finan cial operations, the other at Bordeaux, more particu larly to superintend the construction of the line. ROANNE.—The engineers of highways, who surveyed the lines between Moulins and Roanne, and Roanne to Quevillere, are continuing their operations as far as Saint Etienne and the Rohne, in order to establish be tween Nantes, Orleans, and Marseilles the shortest rail way communication, and the most favourable to meet the commercial wants of the valleys of the Loire and the Rhone. CREIL AND ST. QUENTIN.—The general council of the Department of the North, at a late sitting, came to the determination to carry this line as far as the frontier, touching the Erquelinnes and Charleroi Railway. By this means it will afford the most direct communication between Paris and the north of Germany, and diminish the distance between Paris and Cologne about 100 kilo metres (62 miles). It will also present the shortest route to Brussels, as soon as the Belgian section of the line from Erquelinnes to Mauberge is completed. M. Lour pop, auditor of the council, and member of the board of commissioners of the line, has visited the whole of the route, by order of the Minister of Public Works, to re port statistically on its merits, and there is little doubt that the vestion, with regard to a speedy concession, will receive an early decision. Tortts AND NANTES.—If the arrangements now being made by this Company are realised, there is every reason for fixing the opening of the portion between Tours and Angers by,the bLginning of Sep'ember, 1847.

MANSION-HO USE. Nacirnan Lazarus, a German, who pretended that he could not speak a word of English, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having attempted to pick the pockets of several gentlemen. Haydon, a City policeman, said that he had observed the prisoner, in Gracechurch-street, slip his hand into the pockets of three gentlemen. The prisoner, very shortly afterwards, tried the pocket of a fourth gentle man, who moved away from him, b.-ing evidently aware the attempt, and witness seeing that he was deter mined to do mischief, took him into custody. The prisoner interrupted the policeman frequently, by extravagant gestures, exclaiming that he knew nothing of what was said about him. One of the justice-room attendants said the man spoke the English language fluently, and had just been speak ing to one of his fellow-prisoners upon the subject of the charge. The prisoner—Not at all. I speak no English. Ino try to pick de pocket, and dis officer is a bad man. lam a good man. The LORD MAYOR—Why did you pretend that you did not understand anything that was said to you? The prisoner—l did not understand it.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—WeII then, I'll tell you exactly whatit was. The prisoner—No, no, me no understand nothing. Ah ha! look at dis. (Showing a passport, dated July, 1846.) Dis show I know nothing of picking pockets. Another policeman said he had taken the prisoner into custody about three weeks or a month ago, in Cheapside; but the complainant could not be found, and the prisoner's discharge was the consequence. The prisoner—Ah ha! I am in London only eleven days, so how could Ibe taken? 'Tis all false, my Lord. The prisoner then made a great noise in asserting his innocence, and, before he concluded, evinced a much better acquaintance with the language of which he said he was: utterly ignorant, than any specimen in the above account testified. The LORD MAYOR—I consider you to be a ♦ery bad fellow, prisoner. The prisoner —No, no. This is the bad fellow. He wants to make an innocent man guilty. The LORD MAYOR—You have acquired a very rapid ; knowledge of our language ! The prisoner—No, no, me no understand it at all. The LORD MAYOR—You shall go to Bridewell for 14 days, and hard labour and short allowance. The prisoner was then removed, and as he went he damned the officer in excellent English. James Murray, an elderly man, who generally appears in the streets with a basket 44' toys, was charged with having gone into a public-house in Bucklersbury and stolen a handkerchief and two aprons, which lay upon the seat, and belonged to a poor woman. The LORD MAYOR—What do you say to this, pri soner? The prisoner—Why, then, upon my soul, I never done such a thing before. The LORD MAYOR—Was the prisoner drunk ? The prisoner--Not I, faith. The LORD MAYOR—And why did you steal this poor woman's property ? The prisoner—Why, then, faith, I'll tell you how it was. I went into the house, and I had the misfortune to lay my hands upon the things, and I walked away with 'em.—(Laughter.) Committed for fourteen days' hard labour and shor allowance. WORSHIP-STREET. A middle-aged man, named John Lacy, was placed at he bar, before Mr. Broughton, charged with brutally assaulting his wife Ann Lacy, and also seriously injuring police-constable Townshend, of the K division, with a poker, whilst assisting in his apprehension. Townshend, who bore manifest marks of severe treat ment, stated that whilst on duty in Bethnal-green-road, about ten o'clock at night, the prisoner's wife ran up, bleeding profusely from a dreadful wound in her head, which she stated had been inflicted by her husband with a poker, and claimed his protection. The woman was in a fainting condition, and witness assisted her to the h ouse of a neighbouring surgeon, who pronounced the injury to be of a very serious description, and directed her removal to the hospital. Witness then procured the assistance of two other officers, and with them proceeded to the house, and was making his way up the stairs, when he was met by the prisoner on the landing, brandishing a poker, and threatening to destroy the first person who approached him. Witness and the other constables made a simultaneous rush upon him; but the witness, who was in advance of the others, was instantly struck by him a tremendous blow of the poker on the crown of his head, which sent the blood pouring down over his eyes, and brought him to the ground, and the prisoner still continued beating him with the weapon until he was dragged away by the other officers and carried to the street door. The witness added, that so desperately did the priscner lay about him with the poker, that the con stables were twice forced down the stairs by him, and that it was not until he had himself been injured and disabled with their truncheons in defending themselves, that he was at length overpowered, and conveyed to the station. The witness was positive that the prisoner was perfectly sober. Police-constable Riley, 304 K, generally corroborated the last witness, and stated that he had also been struck by the prisoner with the poker, and that on afterwards entering the man's room he found a large quantity of blood upon the floor, which had issued from the wound in the wife's head previous to her escape into the street. The prisoner admitted striking his . wife, but not in the desperate a moment m a n o r f i e rdep excitement, osed produced to, and sa ld by he aquarrel had u a done rrel so in be tween them. He expressed his regret, also, for his at tack upon the police, and acknowledged that he merited any punishment he might receive for it. The wife, a decent-looking woman, but evidently very ill and in a state of exhaustion, when called upon for her testimony, commenced an apology for her husband's ill usage, declaring that he had previously been a very good husband to her, and notwithstanding she was reminded I by the Magistrate of the brutal treatment she had re ceived at the prisoner's hands, which she admitted, said she freely forgave him for it, and positively refused to give evidence against him. Mr. BROUGHTON told her that, however forgiving and commendable her feelings might be towards her hus bind, her refusal would hot have the effect of shielding him wholly from punishment, as the attack upon the police had been proved to be of a most outrageous de scription, and totally indefensible, and he would cer tainly be punished for that offence, even if he escaped from the other ; but as the case, in its present stage, could not be concluded that day, he should order hi:n to be brought up again in a week, for the completion of the evidence against him. LAMBETH. A young man named William Durant, who held some subordinate situation at Addington Park, Surrey, the country residence of his Grace the Archbishop of Can terbury, was placed at the bar before Mr. Ellott on a charge of robbing his most reverend master. Mr. Roger, an inspector of the L division, deposed, that about ten o'clock on the night before, while he was on duty at the Tower-street station-house, the prisoner and a• woman named Sarah Wall came there, and the Lermer said he had been robbed of 55., at a house kept by the latter, in Buckle's-buildings, Waterloo-road. The woman expressed her doubt of his having been robbed, but said that on searching the room in which he had been she found seven duplicates, which she accord ingly delivered up to him. Witness asked the prisoner for a sight of the duplicates, and on examining them he observed that they referred to property similar to sense that had been stolen from Addington Park, the resi dence of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury. On making this discovery, witness told him he should detain him on a charge of stealing the property ; upon which the prisoner, after a few moments hesitation, exclaimed " Well, I did (13 it, and I don't care a d—n ; I may as well be transported as not." Mr. W. Humphrey, house steward to the Archbishop of Canterbury, deposed, that on Monday morning last it was discovered that in the course of the proceeding night the house had been broken open, and various arti cles o•f property carried off. Witness could identify the wort:box and other articles then produced as a part of the missing property. . Mr. Matthews, a pawnbroker in the Princess-road, Lambeth, produced two taper candlesticks, and a bronze image, which the prisoner pawned at his house on the Monday, representing them to be his own property. The prisoner also pawned his coat with witness on the same day. Mr. ELLIOTT here asked if there was any further evi dence, when Sergeant Goff replied in the affirmative, and put in the witness-box a woman named Keys, who keeps a coffee-house in Lambeth-walk. _ This witness deposed, that the prisoner had slept at her house on Monday night, and left there a bundle, containing a pair of silver Candlesticks and other articles: a workbox, and other things, then produced. The prisoner, who declined saying anything, was remanded. Vo- LORD NELSON'S LETTERS AND DISPATCDISPATC HE S, EunE Vll.—This volume forms the conclusion of this truly national work. for if any publication merit the name of " national," a complete biography of Nelson is deserving that title, Nelson bring, to use the words of Sir Harris Nicolas, the greatest of all the heroes th at adorn the naval history of Great Britain, and his career of . unprecedented triumphs, which was consumm a t e d b y his death in the arms of victory, renders him for ever a paramount object of national pride, gratitude, and affec tion. As we have before noticed, this history o f Nel son is comprised in his Letters and Dispatches, the nar rative being aided by notes from the editor. The letters show, in an eminent degree, the beautiful s i mp li c i ty and high integrity of Nelson's private character, which, with his public dispatches, present a truthful portrait of a public man—for what can produce a more faithful pic ture of a man in all tho relations of life than his own letters, written at all times and at all seasons, in which are contained . the simple exp ress i ons of his thoughts, conduct, and intentions. The editor has published the letters unmutilated, and the hero now appears for the first time in his own writings, a s h e hi mself did in his life-time, without concealment or disguise ; and the public will find in them N e l son ' s own generous and im • petuous spirit, free fro m th e alloy of editorial adultera tion, or editorial squeamishness. Such is the general character of a work whi c h should be found in every public and private library in the kingdom. With refer ence to the seventh volume, we perceive, in addition to the completion of the letters, that a variety of informa tion has been inserted which renders this volume the most interesting of the set.--Plymouth Herald. - - -- --- STATE OF TRADE. MANCITESTETt, TUESDAY, Ocr. 20.—A very small amount of business has been done at our market to-day. grinners and manufacturers have generally raised their prices, in consequence of the continued advance in cot ton, but purchasers have given an advance with great re luwance, and only to supply immediate and pressing wants. There seems now, however, to be a fair pros. pect of some considerable diminution of production. ‘Ve have seen a list, which we belive to be authentic, of twenty-six factories which have begun to work short time ; generally four days a-week. Of these, six are in Manchester and the immediate neighhourhood, five at Preston, five at Oldham, three at Bolton, three at Stockport, two at Bury, one at Heywood, and one at Burnley. In addition to these, a number of others are under notice to commence next week ; amongst them, we believe, all the remaining factories at Bolton, with the exception of two or three. Meetings have also been held of the spinners at Oldham, Ashton, and one cr two other places, to consider th e p ro p r i ety o f di m i n i shing the hours of labour ; but we believe that no decisive re sults were arrived at. ROCHDALE, MONDAY, OCTOBER 19.—There is no im provement to report in the flannel market, either as to prices or the quantity sold. In the wool market prices are stationary, and the dealers complain of having little to do. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20.—Our market is again flat, and not much doing in the Cloth Hall. There have been rather more buyers than for some weeks past, but they purchase with great caution. In the warehouses more business has been done ; and there is some movement in the fancy trade for winter patterns. Wools are much the same as last week—almost unsale able. In woollen yarns very little is doing, the demand being nearly over. A few small orders have been re ceived by the last vessel from America, but not to the extent of former years. LEEDS, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20.—We are sorry to say our this day's market does not present any tendency to improvement ; and that we are compelled to report in the same desponding tone which we have had to adopt for so many weeks past. Luckily the manufacturers are acting with great caution ; and, by reducing their pro duction, keep the stocks lower than they generally are at this time of the year.—Manchester Guardian. THE LATE SUSPICIOUS DROWN ING OF A FEMALE. On Tuesday an inquest was held before Mr. Baker, at the Sportsman, Margaret-street, Shoreditch, upon the body of Sarah Whithorn, aged 19, the circumstances of whose death have already appeared in The Sun. The inquest-room was crowded, and the greatest interest manifested throughout the inquiry. Ann Neal, deceased's mother, deposed that her daughter was married to Whithorn three weeks ago, against her father's consent. They resided with his mo ther at 23, Goring-street. Frequent quarrels ensued be tween deceased and accused's mother, whose harsh con duct compelled deceased to seek refuge with witness last Friday night, at Dave-row, Goldsmith's-place. At eight o'clock on Saturday night deceased went to Goring street, to obtain some money of Whithorn, who pro mised to call upon her at ten. He came at eleven, and witness, who was in bed, heard them quarrelling seriously. Whithorn swore violently, when deceased called him " a good for nothing vagabond," and said she would not be a burthen upon her family while he could support her. Whithorn replied that he had earned only 12s. during the week, and was unable to keep himself. Witness went down and appeased them. Deceased upbraided him with representing himself as a single man, and alleging that she was only a servant to his mother. Whithorn then said she had better make herself comfortable with witness, and he would leave and sleep at a coffee-shop, as on the Friday night, when a girl had robbed him. Deceased became still more incensed, and avowed her intention to follow him for assistance, and, after more high words, Whithorn left the house, pursued by de ceased, whom witness saw alive no more. By Coroner and jury —Never heard deceased com plain of unkindness on the part of Whithorn. His mother had applied opprobrious epithets to her. Deceased was only nineteen. Her marriage certificate represented her of full age. John Whiteman, lock-keeper, deposed to finding the deceased's body by a drag at the first throw. Her bonnet was found upon a post some feet from the water, and her shawl and handkerchief were picked up on the canal bank, seven or eight yards from the bonnet. After other evidence, the Coroner thought it useless to pursue the inquiry in the absence of direct evidence. There seemed no possibility of dealing with the case other than by a verdict of temporary derangement, or the more painful one of .felo dc se. The Court was cleared, and the inquiry adjourned. THE PENINSULAR and ORIENTAL COMPANY'S STEAM-SHIP RIPON. Another new iron steam-vessel, belonging to the fleet of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, arrived at the Motherbank, from the river Thames, on Sunday last. This ship is a sister vessel to the Pottinger, with engines of the same high character, on the oscillating principle, from the same eminent en gineers, and it must be admitted that it redounds highly to the credit of Messrs. Miller and Ravenhill that in this, the first trial of the machinery, the working of it was found to be so perfectly correct that without hesitation the Ripon was taken right off at once from the river. We believe that it was only intended that the trial should be one of the ordinary nature—a trip to Graves end and back; but the vessel having attained to full speed before she reached that place, making seventeen strokes per minute without the least stiffness or friction of any kind, with the concurrence of the Government engineers on board, they made the trial a part of the passage, and so proceeded. This is a❑ instance worthy of record, in so far as it relates to the present position of the mechanical arts of the country. The engines of the Pottinger and the Ripon are of the same size, 76-inch cylinders, with a seven feet stroke. They are, as we understand, entirely from new patterns, and, besides being the largest oscillating engines in use, they have some important novelties in their construction; yet, not withstanding these disadvantages, which might reason ably induce some doubt as to the success of a first trial, a few turns only of the engines having been made the night previously to the trip, she performed to the highest satisfaction the passage from London to Southampton. The measured mile in Long Reach was passed in 5 min. 39 sec., or at the rate of 12.30 miles an hour; but a greater speed than this was obtained subsequently, the vessel being remarkably steady, and free from the unpleasant vibration we too commonly find in fast vessels.

VICTORIA PAix.—Since the accession of Lord Morpeth to office as Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, some important changes have been made in the plans for the completion of the park. Amongst others, two portions of about twelve acres, at either end are to be appropriated as cricket-grounds, with which a gymnasium is to be connected. A plan for the erection of a museum is also under the consideration of the Com missioners. The utmost vigour is now shown in the pre parations for planting, which will, it is expected, be completed in the ensuing spring. 17,1i.4 ,,, e- ,- ..--... z- " 4 """ 241°16444° •..... - --- - . h . , a s, OA wongS b 7 BoBtia Z. 01/I,VERNYVA, NIP• ffl l One I..qii;litlg oaoll, by 4.!0t 014 and 01-114 460 1: LIT I 0 N SINGLE and it (An Original Med!cll History- CONTENTS: lit' 3lll' Analysis of the Aflco,tions—Early Conventional ReStall.,eernie direction—Marital Anticipations and IZetlitics—Laws 01 4 11 ,400 Maternal Influence—Yheuornena of Gestation —On 1n`%06.-IA Infertile Unions—lncong - ruous Alliances-Late Medical Matches—Curiosities of Twenty-three Years' Dieu.... - &c.&c. 2 On CHASTITY and Its .
