A military execution took place on Tuesday morn ing o n the Polygon at Vincennes, in presence of de tachments from all the regiments of the garrison of Paris and the adjacent forts, amounting to nearly 12,000 men. The crime of the prisoner, a private in the Sappers and Miners, was the murd e r o f hi s cor poral. Precisely at eight o'clock the prisoner arrived at the place of execution in a cellular van, escorted by a body of gendarmes, and accompanied by the almoner of the Military Prison. The vehicle drove up to the centre of the Polygon —an enclosed space on the large plain southeast ;of the Donjon— and the criminal descended, attended by his con fessor, and walked with a firm step towards the piquet of twelve men app o i n t e d t o ca rry the sen tenceinto execution. His condemnation having been read to him, he pressed the crucifix to his lip.", and took leave of his confessor, who immediately re tired with the officials in attendance. He then ad vanced to the front of the piquet, and when at a few paces distant knelt down. A bandage was placed over his eyes, and he himself gave the signal to fire by letting fall a handkerchief. A sharp volley in stantly followed, and he fell lifeless. The condemned conducted himself with perfect coolness, betraying neither the least apprehension of death nor unbecom ing display of bravado. The morning was gloomy and lowering, in perfect harmony with the melanch o ly scene, and the grave and serious demeanour of the troops as they marched past the extended body of the criminal showed a perfect sense of the solemn and painful spectacle they had been called upon to witness. Captain Ducrest de Villeneuve, co mman di ng t h e frigate the Forte, which is at present in the roadstead at Brest, was told three days ago that a sailor, noted for his bad conduct, had refused to obey an order given him by an officer on duty. The captain ordered the man to obey; but, instead of complying, the sailor seized a sword, and by a t remen d ous bl ow on the h ea d felled him to the d ec k. H e t h en s truck him several times. He was at length secured. The blow o n the head was lessened by the captain having his pocket-handkerchief in hi s cap, and the blows he re ceived when down were not serious.

The police then interfered ; the place was closed for a fortnight, and the performer imprisoned for twenty four hours, with an express injunction never to per form pantomimes again. TURKEY. Intelligence has just arrived from Constantinople that ALI PACHA is appointed Grand Vizier in place of RESCHID, who withdraws completely from affairs of the state. ACHMET FESHI also retires. It is be lieved that FITAD EFFENDI will be appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Journal de Constantinople of the 4th pub- lishes a letter from the French Ambassador, AI. DE LAVALETTE, to the Chancellor of the Consulate, placing at his disposal, for the relief of French resi dents who had suffered losses in the recent fire at Yen, the sum of 10,000 Turkish piastres, which he had intended to appropriate for the celebration of the fete of the 15th inst. The Ambassador says be is sure that the PRINCE PRESIDENT will approve of this change. EGYPT. Accounts from Cairo to the .sth have been received. The political situation continued to be very calm ; the only thing, indeed, which had occurred was some promotions in the upper administration—EDHEM PACHA to be Minister of Foreign Affairs, KHAIR EDDIN-PACHA to be Minister of Commerce, and ABDERRHAMAN BEY, formerly Abderrhaman Effendi, a Maltese by birth, to be Chief of the Police, under the nominal direction of SELIM PACHA. KHAIR EDDIN PACHA and ABDERRHAMAN BEY are noted for their attachment to England. The opening ate of the Kalidj, which always takes place when the rise of the Nile causes its waters to flow into the interior canal of the city, took place on the Ist. - ABBAS PACHA went from Bennah with a small squadron of steamers, and attended the ceremony without landing. He then returned to his favourite residence. The Envoy of the Porte had not arrived ; he was expected with some impatience by the friends of the Government. REALTII OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

The premier Peer of Scotland, the venerable Duke of Hamilton and Brandon, expired yesterday morning at his mansion in Portman-square. His Grace was one of the oldest, if not the very oldest member of the Peerage, having been born in the year 1767, and consequently he had attained the patriarchal age of 85. He succeeded his father, who was the ninth Duke, in 1819, taking his seat in the House of Lords by two titles—the Duke of Brandon and Baron Dut ton. His Grace never took any prominent part in politics. In the year 1810, when 43 years of age, he married the second daughter of Mr. William Beck ford, of Foothill Abbey, whose celebrity in art and literature will long be remembered. The issue of this marriage was one son and one daughter. His Grace is succeeded in his title and estates by his son, William Alexander Anthony Archibald, Mar quis of Douglas and Clydesdale, who was born in 1811, and who married in 1843 the Princess Mary Amelia Elizabeth Caroline, daughter of the late reigning Grand Duke of Baden, and first cousin to the President of the French Republic. The late Duke was a Privy Councillor, a Knight of the Garter, a Fellow of the Royal Society and of the Antiquarian Society, and President of the Royal Society of Scotland. By his demise, a blue riband is:placed at the disposal of the Earl of Derby. The family is one of great eminence and antiquity in the peerage of Scotland. The keepership of Holyrood House is hereditary in it. The second Earl of Arran, of this line, which title was created in 1503, was chosen Regent of Scotland in 1542, and was the next year declared heir presumptive to the Crown. He was created Duke of Chatelherault, by. Henry 11. of France, a dignity which he subsequently surrendered to the French Monarch. The first Duke was be headed, having been taken at the battle of Preston fighting under Charles I. The second Duke was slain at the battle of Worcester, in the service of Charles 11. Tae present Duke, who is the eleventh, has one son, born in 1845, who has hitherto borne the courtesy title of Earl of Angus and Arran, but who will now take that of Marquis of Douglas and Clydes dale. The Earldom of Angus was created in 1389. Many noble families are placed iu mourning by the decease of the venerable Duke. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO BELGIUM.' (From the Times ) If we were only to keep as sharp a lookout for enemies as we do for our friends, the shores of England would, indeed, be secure from invasion. We trust the public will have been greatly edified by the account of all the saluting and blazing at our gracious Sovereign, as she steamed to and from Belgium. It is difficult to imagine how the sense of dignity can be gratified by these ab surd displays. Had Queen Victoria been a pigeon let loose from a trap in Battersea-fields she could not have been more sedulously popped at than during her recent cruise up and down the channel. A rumour that the little squadron was in sight was sufficient signal for com mencing the display of this sulphurous loyalty. We are at a loss to conceive what gratification could have re sulted to her Majesty from so silly a demonstration. Of positive results, indeed, we know but two—the waste of an enormous quantity of gunpowder and the mutilation of a wretched seaman in the Scheldt. Were any argument necessary beyond the patent ab surdity of the existing custom to recommend so whole some a change, it might be found in the fact that, while our war ships and batteries are giving her Majesty a series of headaches by the discharge of blank cartridges, the supply of powder allowed for practising gunnery is notoriously insufficient. We teach our sailors to fire at their Queen, but we deny them the instruction which would enable them to fire with effect upon the Queen's enemies. We cannot forget that not many years since a French ship of war steamed into Sheerness without being sa luted :at all, and that when at last the attention of the authorities in that martial port was aroused to the presence of their unexpected guests, they had some considerable difficulty in carrying out the noisy cere monial vcith any decency. Surely it would he better to expend our powder in the instruction of our sailors than to waste it in so scandalous and useless a manner. Busides, the custom must be as great a nuisance to those illustrious personages to whom honour is intended as it is to the inhzbiLants of those ports which are se lected as their usual points of embarkation or return.

BILLINGSGATE MARKET. FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) When any great public building, public market, or public thoroughfare, &c., is to be raised to the foun dation for re-construction, it is invariably the custom that most of the material m f a o tdh r teee m t wn h opiol e tdothr b e satte e rhry w euh places iul buildin g de a r ewc e re ets db T ; a withht a e un s i o e either already prepared , or easil y accessible , befor e previous commencing to preparations pull a r asun der e t i me might be lost in the re-construction of the build ing, necessitiestbat public to transactbusinessi might t in n where reethfoercyoneasrtraucto looktionis thatbeing t that part ew ed o f ma t h w ye not tbne allowed like a wilderness of ruins with scaffoldings, &c. Billingsgate, as a public mark e t, it appears, must t b a b e oaunt three and he three-quartersgeneral a It s just year since now the demolition of old Billingsgate market and the re construction Lower T ham oe Thames - street, s t t h r e e new et, i t one mayye on i ts s s i e t e e n co th rn a m t a commenced; and at the present d a y, on viewing the market from deal of work h as t o b e performed be before its final com pletion. It becomes rather an awkward affair at times to lay aside an old machine, and wait until the materials for the re-construction of a new one are manufac tured. An Irishman, who depended pretty much been the ready use of a good musket, seems to h ave been aware of that fact. When Pat wanted his musket renewed, he went to a gun.smith and said, in accents as broad as his countrymen are famed for— " Arrah, my honey, this musket of mine requires a new stock, a new lock, and a new barrel ; but I must have them almost immediately." The gunsmith having plenty of the material on hand already manu factured, of course was very soon able to supply Paddy with an entire new musket. There was a Scotchman, too, who could not get on without a sharp-edged instrument; he went to a cutler and said, " Please, sir, this knife of mine requires a new handle and a fresh blade ; but as I can't well do without a knife I will just keep this one by me until you have completed one exactly similar to it, or you may im prove upon it if you can." Billingsgate-market may be assimilated to an old boot, that bad been given to a cobbler with directions to put on it a new top, new front, new heel, and new sole; but the artist has not yet been enabled to finish more than the top, heel, and sole—the front building next to Thames -street has yet to be erected. The reasons for the market not being in a more forward state after such a lapse of time, it is difficult to conjecture; but there are other public grievences and eyesores in and about the market that ought to be exposed. That part of the building facing the river has been finished now upwards of nine months, but the rudely constructed, unsightly gangway at the middle of the quay is still there, thus preventing the vessels from being properly berthed and arranged along the quay, and thereby prevent confusion. The old grievance that the oyster sm acks lay in one tier alongside of each other, stretc hin g right out into the middle of the river, obstructing a passage for barges, &c., is this day as prominent as it was three years ago. Another grievance that should be exposed is the unwarrantable filthy state the market has been kept s in ta o te f d la t t o e. be in the shellfish-market, is not yet en iginiea, situate below Ttbhoe 16-horse reason ass i gne d for this n e g lect is fair working order. When it is so it will heave up a stream of water through the fountain that will fill the large basin which stands in the middle of the market in about ten minutes, besides driving a large fanner which is to ventilate the shellfish-market. The ex pense of keeping up this engine it is supposed will be about 1,0001. per annum. As regards the reason as signed about the engine not yet being in working order, it is correct enough, it having been inquired into • but that is no su ffi cient reason why the market is all owed ' to remain unscrubbed and unwashed for several days together during s ummer weather; w a t er might be carried from the river in buckets, if no other method is conveniently at hand. Another eyesore that seems to puzzle a good many visitors to Billingsgate is the row of houses that stand betwixt Darkhouse-lane and the market, and which it was supposed would be pulled down, and thus leave an open space for carts a nd waggons to stand, and prevent the overcrowding of Thames-street. It would seem that instead of those houses coming down, they are making erections and building about them, which has all the appearance of an intention that those houses are to remain as they are for a number of years at least. After all the expense that will have been incurred in reconstructing Billings gate-market, unless the whole of those houses which stand betwixt Darkhouse-lane and it aresweps,e„ thetaway, and an open space left for carts, waggons, market itself will be but a very poor looking affair to the eye, nor will the inhabitants along Lower Thames-street be relieved in the smallest degree from their present grievance, an overcrowded state of the street in the !lamming and great confusion.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE• NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 18. CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord Chief Justice CAMPBELL.) Alice Shaw, aged 23, was indicted for the wilful murder of her new born child, at Liverpool, on the 25th of March last. Mr. Preston prosecuted, and Mr. Monk defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner had been housemaid in the family of a gentleman named Ripley, residing in Abercrombie.square, for about five years. No sus picion was excited that she was in the familyway. On the morning of the 25th of March she was at breakfast as usual, and went upstairs to attend to her duties. When the servants called her down to din ner they received no answer, and on going up stairs they discovered the prisoner lying on the floor of one of the rooms insensible. Mr. Nottidge, a surgeon, was immediately ca led in, and discovered that she had been recently delivered of a child. In an adjoin ing bedroom the newly-born body of a female child, with a flannel handkerchief wrapped round its neck and the tongue protruding, was found in a wash basin. Oa a post mortem examination of the child the lungs were found to be congested. In the opinion of the surgeon the child had been born alive, and had died from drowning. Mr. MONK, for the defence, contended that the test of the child having been born alive—that its lungs floated, was now expl c d e d, an d th ere wa s no satisf,:c tory evidence to show that the child had ever lived. Assuming it to have been born alive, there was no satis factory evidence that the prisoner had caused its death, as she mi g ht h ave b ecome i nsens ibl e w hil e at tempting to clean th e c hild. His LORDSHIP summed up, directing the jury that if they were not satisfied that the evidence was con clusive as to the main charge they must acquit her, as there was no evidence to support a verdict of con cealing the birth. The jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. James Ill'Donald, aged 18, and John Man nor, aged , 18, were i n d icte d f or a garot t e ro bb er y on James M` l "wne, at Liverpool, on the 23d of April last. Mr. Simon prosecuted ; the prisoners were un defended. It appeared the prosecutor was a pig and cattle dealer, and about 12 o'clock on the night of Friday, the 23d of April, he was proceeding towards his lodg ings in Upper Milk-street, when he was attacked near there by five men, who seized him by the throat and pinioned him. Having prevented him from ranking any resistance, they robbed him of 1451. in gold and notes, upwards of 1001. pound of it being in sove reigns, after which they made off. The prosecutor, who is an Irishman, knew the men, who were also Irish, by sight, and afterwards identi fied the two prisoners, who were apprehended at Ormskirk, haying changed there one of the Si. notes, which was proved to have been paid to the prosecutor by a man in Birmingham a few days before in a pur chase of some pigs. The prisoners, in defence, said they found the pro secutor lying drunk under a lamp-post, and his money lying beside him. The jury found the prisoners Guilty. His LORDSHIP ' in passing sentence, said it was shockin g t o think how prevalent the crime of which the prisoners had been found guilty had become in this part of the country, and it was necessary to make an example of them. The sentence of the Court was that they be transported for fifteen years. John Dowd was indicted for having, at Liverpool, on the sth of April, murdered Thomas Conway. Mr. T. Atkinson and Mr. Hibbert prosecuted, and Mr. M'Oubray defended the prisoner. It appeared, that on Saturday night, or early on Sunday morning, the sth of April, the prisoner and the deceased had a quarrel in Albert-street, Toxteth park, the orign of the quarrel not being clearly known. Both were drunk, and began to fight. After having fought three or four rounds fairly, as described by several witnesses who were present, the prisoner was seen to pull a claspknife out of his pocket, open it, and then return it into his pocket. He then again challenged the deceased to renew the fight, and two or three more rounds were fought. A woman named Mary Holland interfered, and per suaded the deceased to fight no more. The deceased then walked towards his home a few yards, when he was followed by the prisoner and stabbed in the side. The prisoner then walked sharply off, but was followed and taken into custody by a policeman. When apprehended he denied all knowledge of the matter. The deceased was immediately taken to the Southern Hospital, where he died shortly after wards of acute inflammation produced by the wound. His dying declaration was taken, which in substance stated that he and the prisoner went into a whiskey shop, had some drink together, and quarrelled ; that they then went out and began to fight, and fought several rounds, when be refused to fight any more, and the prisoner stabbed him as he was going away. They were both drunk at the time. On the case being closed for the prosecution, His LORDSHIP asked whether the counsel for the prosecution, after this evidence, could contend that the facts amounted to more than evidence of the crime of manslaughter, which he thought could not be denied by the Learned Counsel for the prisoners. Both Counsel having assented to this view, by the direction of his Lordship, the jury found the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter. He was sentenced to be imprisoned for two years with hard labour. Sabrina Mooney, aged 22, and Mary Mooney, her mo ther, aged 60, wer e i n di cte d f or t h e mur d e r of the female infant child of the younger prisoner at War rington on the 9th of July last. Mr. Monk appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. John Cro ss, assigned by the Court, defended the prisoners. i t a ppeared that the two prisoners lived in a court court, at 'Warrington, and that for called Grimes• some weeks prior to the 9th of July last the younger prisoner was observed to be stouter than usual. On the night of the 9th of July, about eight o'clock, the younger prisoner was observed to go into the privy in the yard, she having previously been brought home in a cart ill. A short time afterwards cries of a mother, mother," wers beard to proceed from the privy, a nd a neighbour bearing them told the elder prisoner that her daughter was crying out for her. The m other went into the privy, and was seen after wards leading her daughter away. She consulted a neighbour about her, telling her that her daughter had been taken with a violent haemorrhage for the first time for nine months, in consequence of a cold she then got. The prisoner was put to bed, but, suspi cion arising, the privy was afterwards searched, and in the eon, deeply i m b e dd e d , a newly -b orn i n f an t child w as found. On examination, the umbilical cord w as found to have been broken, and the lungs ap peared to have been inflated, and from other appear ances the surgeons called in were of opinion that the c hild lead been born alive. Th e l u ngs crepitated and floated, a nd part of the roil was f oun d in the bron c hi a l tubes. Mr. Caoss, for the defence, urged that the elder prisoner had evidently gone on ly to assi s t h er daughter, and that the daughter had been take n i n labour in the privy, and the child had fallen into th e soil. As to the daughter, however she might be liable to the charge of endeavouring to conceal th e birth of bey child, she was not on the evidence guilty o f the charge imputed to her. His Low:Lem'. summed up, and The j ur y found the younger prisoner Guilty of concealmen t of birth, and Acquitted,the elder prisoner.

[N signifies that the mails are sent front the General Post-office by the night—and BS by the morning--etispateh.] EVENING, AUGUST It appeared that the prisoner lived at Barking, in Essex, and, upon the day in question, a dead horse having to be fetched some few miles from the town, he went for it, taking with him a little boy and a girl for a ride. When he got to the place where the horse was, although then somewhat " fresh," he had more beer, and was, when he started to return, very nearly drunk, and flogged the horse into a furious gallop, and, upon turning a place called Bull-corner at Barking, the cart upset, and threw him, the two children, and dead horse out. The little boy f e ll under the cart, and received such a fearful fracture of the skull that his brains came out, and he died in a few minutes, the prisoner himself receiving such seri ous injuries that for some time he was an inmate of the London Hospital. The several witnesses who were examined all gave the prisoner a good character for humanity and stea diness of conduct. The jury found him Guilty. The RECORDER asked how long the prisoner had been in prison ? The prisoner said he had been ten days in the hos pital, and one month in gaol. The RECORDER, in passing sentence, said that where persons having the command cf horses urged them to a furious speed, and any accident resulted from it, he should, if the case came before him, punish them most severely, as he did not know any class of offence that evinced more recklessness as to results, and most especially in the case of omnibus and other public drivers. There was some difference in this instance, and, considering what the prisoner had already suffered, and the character he bad borne, he should order him to be further imprisoned for one month in Newgate. Upon this case being called in the turn it stood upon the paper, it had to be postponed until later in the day, one of the Learned Counsel retained in it being then engaged in one at the Middlesex Sessions. His LORDSHIP said that the inconvenience caused by the Middlesex magistrates fixing the same days for trials as this Court was very great, and there ought to be some alteration in the system. It was most improper, quite unnecessary, and very unjust to the bar. Several gentlemen of the bar said they felt the in convenience very much, and hoped that there would soon be some alteration. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. RUSSELL GURNEY, Q.C.) Charles Collins, 62, publisher, a respectable look ing old man, was indicted for stealing a case of four portraits, valued at 101, the property of Antonio Claudet. Mr. W. Cooper prosecuted, and Mr. Robinson defended. . The prisoner in this case had gone to the'prosecu tor, who is the well-known daguerreotype artist of . Regent-street , and, under pretence that he was pub lishing a portrait gallery of the aristocracy and others, borrowed the case of likenesses, which were never returned, and subsequently found to have been pawned. The evidence failing to prove that the pictures had been given to the prisoner in the first instance, his Lordship directed an acquittal. He was then indicted for stealing a daguerreotype portrait, the property of Robert Hogg. The prosecutor, who was the American daguerreo type artist, and proprietor of the miniature gallery, 432, West Strand, proved that the prisoner came to him with a similar tale, and after having some busi ness transactions, one of which was getting him to take the likeness of Mr. Charles Salisbury Butler, he obtained the portrait in question, which was also pawned. In cross-examination this witness said he did not know whether he gave the portrait to the prisoner or his son. The prisoner was Acquitted. A third indictment was then gone into for stealing a portrait valued at 51., the property of Lord Sandys. This case was also enveloped in the same mystery. An application for the same purpose as above stated was made, the prisoner introducing hi mself b y letter ; this was last year; and when the prisoner was taken into custody, among the duplicates found on him was one relating to the portrait (an oil pai ntin g) in ques tion ; but how it had found its way from his Lord ship's mansion in Curxon-street, May-fair, to the pawnbroksr's could not be unravelled, no one recol lecting its being given to the prisoner. An Acquittal was taken in this case. Inspector A Cumming said there were about fifty more cases against him if the parties would have pro. secuted. The prisoner had carried on the game for some yeas in all parts of the country, and had de frauded hundreds, the value of the portraits being some thousands, and persons so defrauded had sent up money to redeem their portraits. William Worley, 39, tinplateworker, was indicted for feloniously wounding Nathan Defries, with in tent, &c. Mr. Ballantine prosecuted, and Mr. Charnock de fended. The prosecutor, a gas engineer and dry meter maker, stated that in June last prisoner worked for two days in his shop, for which he demanded pay ment. Prosecutor referred him to his cashier, telling him that his payday was Friday. On Tuesday, the 6th of July, prisoner went to the counting-house of the factory in Diana-place, and said he had come for his money. Witness said that he knew nothing of it, and rang the bell for his foreman, whom he asked if anything was due. The foreman said there was not, but by their rules the prisoner owed them money for spoiling some work. The foreman then went away, leaving prisoner, who said, " You don't mean to pay me? Then, I'll pay you," and immediately took a wallet from his side pocket, and, brandishing it to take a sure aim, struck him with all his force on the head and ran away. Witness called " Murder, and tried to follow, but the blood spirted like a fountain from the wound, a fearful one just above the left ear, and prosecutor fainted. When he recovered he was at the doctor's, and the prisoner was in the hands of the police. It further appeared that the same morning the pri soner had threatened to do for the pr osecutor if he did not pay him. The foreman ha d heard his mas ter's cries, and ran after the prisoner, who was running away as fast as he could. When in the hands of the police he said he was sorry for what he had done. m, and On behalf of the prisoner it was statedan that he had hada always been a quiet, well-behaved wife and family. The jury found him Guilty, recommending him to mercy. He was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment and hard labour. In the course of the day true bills were found against Lord Frankfort and Mary Taylor for . misde meanour, and, upon the application of Mr. Giffard,a warrant was issued for the woman, who it was said had absconded. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION -HOUSE. Mr. H. Sewell, of the Mansion-house, who on Sunday last, in consequence of instructions which he hed received from the Lord Mayor and Alderman Finnis, accompanied to Liverpool the emigrants who complained of the delay in the sailing of the City of Lincoln, bound for Port Philip, for the purpose of making satisfactory arrangements for their departure, reported to his Lordship upon the subject. He had, be said, the satisfaction to state that the vessel had, since the reported insolvency of the former holder, fallen into the hands of Mr. Bates, a man of respect ability, who not only released her from her embar rassments, but paid the greatest attention to the com forts of the poor passengers; and that Lieutenant Pryor, of the Government Emigration Office of Li verpool, had testified to the excellent condition of the articles of food which came under his supervision officially in the ship. He had promised to convey to his Lordship the emigrants warm expression of gra titude for the prompt and effective measures adopted by the Lord Mayor and Alderman Finnis to obtain for them reparation for the delay, and security as to their proper accommodation during their voyage. They had given three cheers for the City magistrates when he was leaving the vessel, which was to sail at twelve o'clock on Wednesday (yesterday). Mr. Sewell also said he was gratified in stating that the Prince Alfred emigrant vessel, concerning the delay of which complaint had been also made at the Man sion-house, had gone through the Downs, and that all the passengers on board had been amply accommo dated and provided for. The LORD MAYOR said that he and his brother alderman felt the most sincere gratification in car rying out the object of the Emigration Commission ers to the fullest extent. The claims upon the ener getic exertions of the magistracy had increased in proportion to the numerous departures to foreign countries, and the public might rely upon the strictly impartial performance of the duties of the alderman at a time when more than usual vigilance was ne cessary. Edward Wilson , a well-dressed fellow, was charged with stealing t hree tumblers, a salt cell ar , and a spoon, in an eating -house in Bow-lane. The prisoner dined in t he house, and after having remained there between two and three hours, was walking out, when the waitress, who had recollected him from a former visit which proved unprofitable to her, stopped him, and asked him to lighten his burden, which he did in a moment, at the same time beggi ng pardon for the mistak e. The p risoner had i n his pocket a couple of shoe-brush es, which he h ad in the morn ingset2wleans fromforth forthwith rnthoonuoseed to impriso nmen t an d . ll hard labour for two months. i h, could a not s i t related l a announced to u n a c e r d e reformed r a ed m butter criminal, plac e The LORD MAYO R said he had received a commu nication from the cha p lain to the Giltspur-street he thought Cornpte r c than the justice-room from Whi c h the reclaimed per- 19, 1852. son had been sent to the extreme tribunal. In his Lordship's opinion the chaplain's humanity had fixed upon a case possessing strong claims upon those who had power as well as will to do good. Ir.was as fol lows :—The mother of a reformed criminal was anxious to get out to America to join her son. , The boy was trained to crime by his own father, wno Nvas i convicted in the same case. At the close of his m prisonment the unfortunate boy was sent to a refuge, and after some months probation sent out to America by Lord Shaftesbury, assisted by the Sheriff's fund. That took place in April, 1850. Since that time he has gone well, and is now, to use the chaplain's lan guage, " I believe an upright and conscientious man. He has written to say that, if his mother can be sent out, and also a brother who is imbecile and unable to earn a living, he will provide for them both. His mother has herself always been a respectable woman, but now is reduced t o earn a precar i ous su b s i s tence by waistcoat making, and is a widow in her 58th year, her husband having died in prison." To the correctness of the statement the chaplain expressed his great willingness to bear testimony, upon application at the Giltspur-street Compeer or the Mansion-house. BOW-STREET. lliarn Avis, of High-street, St. Giles's, under taker, appeared to an adjourned summons, charging him with having buried an infant, " for which no certificate had been duly made and delivered" to the registrar, as required by the 6th and 7th William IV., chap. 86, sec. 27. The facts proved at the former examination were —the birth of the infant on the 2d of June, and its death on the sli ; the delivery of the corpse to the defendant, wbo undertook to supply a coffin and bury it for 3;., which was paid to him for that purpose by the grandmother (who also stated that she supplied him with the requisite medical certificate) ; and finally, the discovery that the child had never been buried at all, which was the defendant's answer to the charge. The case was adjourned for the attendance of the medical gentleman who was said to have furnished the certificate, and notice was given to the defendant in the meantime to produce it. Mr. F. Hatton, solicitor, now appeared for the re gistrar, to support the charge. Mr. G. W. New, assistant surgeon to St. Giles's workhouse, deposed to having attended the infant's mother during her confinement. After the death of the child, which only lived two deys, witness gave the grandmother a proper certificate for delivery to the district registrar, and he believed it was taken by her to the defendant. Mr. Duncombe, the defendant's solicitor, on being asked if he produced the certificate, declined to admit the service of the notice to produce. Formal proof was then given of the service of the notice by Mr. Hatton's clerk, the previous evening. Mr. Duncombe—We don't produce it. The grandmother was then reexamined. She stated that she delivered the certificate to the de fendant's daughter, who was acting as agent for him in the shop. The age of the child, the cause of its death, with the name and address of the parents, were inserted in the certificate. On every occasion when witness had called on the defendant respecting the baby she was assured that " it was all right." Mr. Duncombe—Am Ito answer the charge set forth in the summons ? Mr. HENRY—Yes, certainly. Mr. buncombe--We are charged in the words of the Act with incurring certain penalties by burying a child without a certificate. You have it in evidence that it has never been buried at all. Mr. HENRY—I have well considered this cese since it was adjourned last week, and I am now of opinion that the defendant is liable to be convicted under the Act. I certainly had a different impression at one time, but everything turns upon the meaning which is to be attached to the word " bury." If we regard it exclusively as implying an interment, doubtless there would be some difficulty in showing the lia bility of the defendant, but the word admits of a wider definition. If you look to Dr. Johnson's dic tionary you will see that the word "bury" is de scribed as signifying "to put in a grave, to hide, or to conceal." Now, it is quite clear to my mind that there was in this case a concealment of the body from the 7th of June, when it was delivered to the de fendant, to be buried, until the 10th of August, when the officers found the body in the coal vault of Mr. Avis's house. Mr. Duncombe, interrupting his Worship, hoped he should be permitted to argue this point. Mr. HENRY—That is quite irregular. Mr. Duncombe having contended that no opportu nity had been given him to discuss the point, was allowed to proceed. He was quite sure thaS the Legisla ture never contemplated a question of this kind. The Act says—" any person who shall bury, or perform any funeral or religious service for the burial of any dead body for which no certificate shall have been duly made and delivered," &c., shall be liable to cer tain penalties. Now, admitting his Worship's inter pretation of the word " bury," where could the line, of demarcation be drawn ? One moment's conceal ment of a body in any shop, charnel-house, or hospi tal, would make the parties liable ; and it was a com mon thing to have bodies sent to undertakers or other people's houses to be kept a few days beforeinter ment. The word " concealment" was never used in the Act; but even if it had been contemplated, what concealment was there in this case ? The defendant never hid or secreted the body. It was well known to all , his establishment and to others that the child was in his cellar, which had never been kept locked, but was accessible to all. The fact was, the grand mother had g i ven M r. A v i s to un d er stand that it was a stillborn child. Otherwise the burial would have cost at le as t 12 s. Th en, as to t h e cer tifi c ate, he de nied. having received it, and there was no proof of its delivery to him, although the grandmother stated that she had left it at the shop in the hands of the de fendant's daughter —a mere child. He had no certi ficate, and he did not know the address of the parents : and even if he h a d k n o w n where to find them, it was not incumb en t on hi m to hunt for the certificate, which, according to the Act, ought to have been delive re d t o hi m . Th e c hild h a d n ot been un fairly disposed of, or spirited away, or concealed; and the conduct of M r . Avis was praiseworthy in compa rison with the obvious neglect of the registrar, who had never registered its birth even, but now came into court f or h a lf the penalties, to which the Act entitled him. Mr. HENRY—He is not allowed any portion of the penalty under the Police Act, whic h overrides the other. Mr. Duncombe hoped if his Worship still adhered to his opinion, that he would give the defendant an op portnnity of appealing against the decision. Mr. HENRY repeated that there had been a sufficient " burying" in the meaning given to the word by Dr. Johnson, who quoted gery good authority for his opinion. Besides, it was common to use the word in that sense. When we say " buried in oblivion," we do not think of interments. However, ,this was the first time the question had been raised under the Act, and therefore he should b e very g l a d to h ave i t f u ll y discussed at Qaarter Sessions. If his view was not supported, he could only sa y th a t a ll t h e ev il s w hi c h it was the design of the Act to remedy must go unpunished. His Worship then inflicted a penalty of 6/. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA. COWES, AuG. 18.—The race for her Majesty's Cup had not concluded at the time of my last communication being dispatched, but, as was anticipated by several per sons at, an early period of the race, the Arrow succeeded in recovering the position she appeared temporarily to have lost on going towards Ryde, for she passed the station-vessel at Cowes as under : h, m.

The great difference in the time of the arrival of the two last vessels, it is stated, is ac count'd for in this way. Oa going down towards the Nab Light, the Arrow throughout kept to the north ward, whilst the Aurora and Lavrnck were close under the island. When abreast of St. Helen's, with a breeze flowing strong from the north-east, she caught it UP, made a long reach, and rounded the Nab, whilst the two others, being under the island, went fast to the leeward. This difference of position will, therefore, °mount for the disparity between the arrival of the Arrow, and the Aurora and Lavrock.

The St. Mary's river is the ou tor the waters of Lake Superior, and conn ec t s that with the great chain of lakes which feral the northeiu boundary of our country. The river is navigable to the rapids, which extend for a distance of half a mile cell. e all These rapids interrupt navigation, and in consequenc the supplies for the Lake Superior r e g ion, as well as the orte products of that region, must be unlad en, transpd around the rapids, and re-sbippoil, of course at mucli e xpense and great inconvenience. I t is to do awa y wit° this evil, and to make the navigation continuous, thatf aid is asked of the Government . The topograPbY ° the country is favourable for the construction of a s ishiP canal, which need not exceed one m ile in length. It believed that the tolls derived from the canal would f o r the ultimately amply compensate the Government outlay which would be required. This has proved to . be the c?.se with the Louisville canal, and, although in°, navigation through the proposed canal would not lc' course b 3 so great as on the Ohio, it must of necessi X. ultimately become very large. The mineral resources 0 Lake Superior are rich in the extr eme. Thep r,oduction of copper is only limited by the m eans of transportation,• and iron and other minerals are found in abuticlaohceen The copper ore is of the richest quality, yieldi n g,' w Tha smelted, from 60 to 70 per cent. of the pure meta'. . a iron ore is also of the best quality, and the production is much greater than has been generally suPli n ' ed 'y to would be good policy on the part of the Governine,n will aid in developing the resources of a region which bin add so much to the wealth of the country. 11 L s .„i', canal around the St. Mary's is an undertaking i n vv ,... ! 1. 0 the whole country is more or less interested. Itilswe public improvement of a national character, a s h hav e trust will be so viewed by Congress. Mea su a lid been taken to lay the subject before Congrev, an 100 to be hoped that an appropriation will be granted at ~, present session towards the construction of this gre"' work.—Boston Journal. lON A CRYSTAL PALACE IN BATH. crystal project . has been started for the erection of a ~,.. Palace in Bath. An elevation and sections of the butte i t ng were exhibited at the last meetieg ural Society; and we have since been favoured with b : private e inspection of them by the originator, Air. _ l l ° 4 is P Sydney Gardens; the eastern side of the open °P e preseru4 has been chosen with the especial view of like t h e orr the noble central avenue. The building, ginal Crystal Palace, consists of a nave and travoelT the nave is 144 feet long and 48 feet wide, and of the Sortical the tf,7; Sept is 96 feet long, 48 feet wide, and 70 feet high. j '_,l outside is supported by ornamental iron buttresses, ao: several improvements are introduced in the oonstruvt 0 grea t addition Such a building would undoubtedly be to the amusements of the city, f wing , ars it or might in the summer, the scene of horticultural and other exhibitions, and in winter a promenade and " 3 ; , den. We need scarcely add, that the formation ..,,., winter garden is a desideratum in a city which ie tithe re., sort of valetudinarians. The cost of the building ; estimated at 6,0001 ; and it is proposed to form .7 5 , e Polly, and to raise the amount in 1,200 shares it ach • There is this recommendation of the di/ t o speculation, h that if the returns from the building 0 , cl . n d ot be remunerative, it might easily be removeti,,:od w e no derLa' sold for a palm house or other purpose. that Messrs. Fox and Henderson have a the building, an d ren d er it fit for use , i n twelve weev,o from the day of its commencement; and be believe may add that there is much probability of the 'dese%i being accomplished. Mr. Peacock contemplates sev_rree., works in connexion with the building. such as the ..vro. tion of fountains in front of Sydney hotel; the fl` d be greed to erect lion of a museum, to which the Gothic Llall co° n . ar .. appropriated, and generally the renovation of the! te d dens.
