A WOMAN KILLED BY HER lIUSBAND. BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY EVENING.—An inquest was held this afternoon at the Minerva Tavern, Queen street, on the body of a woman, named li-efe, who died from injuries she received from her husbs-Id. At four o'clock the jury aqsembied, and, having viewed the body, they returned to the jury•room, where the husband of the deceived was brought up in custody before them. _ The CORONER, before going into the investigation, addressed the prisoner, and told him he was not bound to say anything whatever calculated to criminate him self, but if he wished to make any statement it would be reduced to writing. The prisoner then said he wished to state how the unfortunate affair happened. He then proceeded with the following detail of wretchedness and impropriety cf conduct which too frequently characterises many of our working population : " My name is Dennis Keefe, and I live at No. 9, Court, Colmore-street, and am a button-turner by trade. The deceased was my wife, about thirty-seven years of age, and the mother of six children, and I have been married to her sixteen years. On Saturday night I and my wife went to market, and we had two glasses of gin. We came home and bad two pints of ale and our supper, and went to bed. On Sunday morning deceased commenced drinking. I think it was gin she had, but I noticed her drunk at dinner-time. After dinner I went to lie on the bed, and left her drinking. At tea-time, I, my sister, and the deceased, had a quartern of rum be tween us. On the same evening I took my sister home, and on my return I found deceased much more drunk. I remonstrated with her, and asked her if she did not know when she had enough? to which deceased only gave me a coarse answer. She went out, and came home in about an hour after. On Monday I went to my work, and when I came to my dinner I saw her intoxicated. I took no dinner, but returned to my work till four o'clock, and then went and had some ale till about seven o'clock, and then I went to my club, discharged my business there, and I arrived home about eleven o'clock, but she was not at home. I called my little lad, and told him to put his things on and go and see where his mother was, and deceased came in directly after, bring ing with her half a pint of ale. She was then drunk. She tumbled into bed just as she was, leaving the candle lighted and the beer on the table. On Tuesday morning she got up, and I saw her take a black waistcoat and her old shawl. What in the name of God, she wanted with them I did not know. (The prisoner here became much affected.) She speedily returned with a quarters of gin and placed it on the table. I asked her if she was going to begin drinking again. I knew if I left the gin with her she would get drunk, so I took about half of it, and went to work, leaving her in the house. On my return I found her sitting at the fire, drunk, and no dinner for either me or my children. I recollected there was a ba,in of broth lying on the hob, which had been left from the preceding day, which I dividtd with the children and took a mouthful myself. I went to work, and returned about a quarter-past seven o'clock, and I found her drunk with a child in her lap. I saw the child likely to fall, so I told my little niece, Ann Clark, to take the child from the mother and put him to bed, but the de ceased would not give the child to the girl, so I took him from her and sent him t ) bed. I then laid hold of my wife by the wrists and waist,' nl pashed her towards the stairs, and succeeded in getting her up; at the same time she blackguarded me very much, and called me every bad name she could think cf. I told her to go to bed, but in a short time she came down stairs again and began to abuse me. I then took her in my arms, and tried to get her up stairs again. I got her a few steps up, when she became very violent; but I got her up, and she again came down. When I saw her coming down the third time, I was having my supper, and ran up. She either fell suddenly, or pitched herself to wards the bed, when my foot came in contact with her. Whether I kicked her or not, I do not know, God only knows. I felt my foot hit against some part of her; hut it was dark, and I came down stairs again. I must have stumbled against her in my hurry. I sent Ann Clark up stairs with the chill, aed she ran down and said her aunt was a bleeding. I immediately thought she had run her head against the bed-post. I ran and fetched a neighbour, who advised me to send for some medical gentleman; which I did. Two doctors came, and did what they could for her; and I stopped till she expired, about nine o'clock. I then went and gave you (the coroner) notice of the affair; came back and surrenderd myself to the police. I have suffered much this last six years. I never intends d to hurt my wife in the least. It would be the very remotest thing I should think of. I did net know that I kicked her." Alice Gibbs deposed that she resided in the next house to that where deceased lived. I could not hear what passed in their house. I know deceased was tipsy on Sunday and Monday, and very drunk on Tuesday. I was called into the deceasei's house by her husband, about half-past seven o'clock, who said, " Come in, Mrs. Gibbs, to my wife, for I think I have killed her. I gave her a kick with my foot." I then went into his house, when I found the deceased standing up in the bed-room. I saw a quantity of blood on the floor. Her husband was present. She said her husband kicked her as she was getting under the bed; and directly after she said, " Mrs. Gibbs, he has killed me. What will my little James do?" She (the deceased) then showed me where her husband had kicked her in the abdomen. I placed deceased in a chair, and her husband asked me who be should fetch. He seemed grieved, and most anxious to do all hecould for her. I recommended him to send for the wo man who attended his wife at her last confinement, and he did so, and he went away for that purpose, but on his return she was dead. Three medical geatlensen came, but she died ten minutes after their arrival. Cross-examined—When he called me to go to his wife, I thought from his appearance and his conduct that he did not intend to kick her, and if he did kick her it was by accident. Ann Clark examined I live in Weaman•street, and Dennis Keefe is my uncle. Oa Tuesday night last I was at his house. The deceased was very drunk. He got her up stairs twice, but she came down half way a third time, and commenced abusing him, when he ran up after her, and I heard her cry. Ho came down stairs and took a chair to have his supper, and I went up stairs to put the child to bed, when I saw the room covered with blood, and I ran down and told my uncle, who im mediately went up stairs again. The jury left sitting. THE MURDER in SPITALFIELDS on Thursday W. Baker, Esq., resume d and concluded an adjourned inquiry on the body of Daniel Crawley, who was stabbed by Ann Sinner, alius Huffy, in a cook shop, kept by her in Flower and Dean -street. George King, 27 H, stated that on the night in ques tion, Oct. 3, the woman Sinner and her landlady had a violent quarrel, and about ten minutes afterwards the deceased went into the shop, and in a few minutes came out, crying," I'm stabbed to the heart." He had his hands over the wound, and the blood was oozing from between his finger; and on being taken into the shop said Ruffy had done it. When the woman was charged at the station-house, she said her landlady had the man to break open her place; and when before the magistrate said he had taken indecent liberties with her. Mr. Wordsworth, house surgeon, at the London Hos pital, deposed to having seen the deceased while alive, and that a postmortem examination proved that the blow must have been given with great force; two of the car tilages of the ribs were divided, and the pericardium, or heart-bag, was penetrated, from inflammation of which the deceased died a week after his admission. Mr. Holman, dresser of the above hospital, corrobo rated the evidence of the former witness. Mr. BAKER then summed up the evidence, and pointed out the difference between murder and manslaughter ; after which the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against Anne Sinner alias Ruffy," and the wit nesses were bound over to appear at the next sessions to prosecute. A special naval court-martial, held at Brest on the Bth instant, under the presidency of Admiral Leblanc, the Maritime Prefect, condemned to death a convict named Yoret, for the murder of another convict, and attempts to murder two others. He confessed his crimes to the court, and declared that he committed them in revenge for the three men having given information against him to the chief officers of the hulks on various occcasions, and particularly on two escapes he hai made —one in 1842, and the other in 1845 . Mennen re CORNWALL.--A brutal murder has been committed on a man named Samuel Hockin, a cooper, at St. Mabyn, in C ornwa ll. H e was found on Saturday morning last, lying in the road near St. Mabyn, and on being lifted up, breathed once, and immediately expired. Upon being examined, it was discovered that he had been struck on the back part of the head by a heavy instrument, which had broken the skull, so that the brain protruded. Suspicion fell upon a woman named Ann Treverton, with whom the deceased had co- habited; and she has been taken into custody. A large stone has been discovered near where the deceased was found. An inquest was held on the body, before Joseph Hambly, Esq., coroner, on Saturday last, which was adjourned till Tuesday. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH AGAIN.—BIRMING HAM, THURSDAY EVENING.—At six o'clock this evening, owing to a communication received at the office of the Birmingham and Derby Railway Company, by means of the electric telegraph, that it was supposed a young woman, named Mary Ann Tipping, had left her home, taking with her a large sum of money, and that it was expected that she had come to Birmingham, in company with a man named William Davenport, a mes senger was dispatched to the police station, stating the nature of the information received, and Inspector Glos sop, of the detective police force, proceeded to the station, and succeeded in apprehending the fugitive, to gether with her companion, a man named William Davenport, who, it is stated, has been engaged latterly as a police officer at Tutbury, in Staffordshire, near to the spot where Mrs. Tipping resided. When appre hended Davenport had in his possession the sum of 16+1., which he stated, on being taken into custody, were th e savings o f some years, but from the fact of the sum cor - I usl )4 n4ing with th e amount l ost, b oth parties were locked p, and ) will be brought up for examination to-morrow morning.

LAW INTELLIGENCE COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Octuber 16. IN RE CLARKE. This bankrupt, who had carried on business as an ale and porter merchant at Kingston-on-Thames, came up to-day to pass his last examination. The ankrupt's liabilities amounted to 8,1081. ss. Bd., but in consequence of his balance-sheet not being cornet, no opinion could be formed of the assets. Mr. LAWRENCE, who appeared for the assignees, said they had agreed to - have the examination adjourned, be cause of the unsatisfactory state of the accounts ; and they wished to inquire into the goods consigned. One of the assignees had a claim on the estate for 2,500/. Mr. SWAN, who appeared fur a creditor, objected to the bankrupt passing, on the ground that he had traded and lived on the property of his creditors ; but if the appli• catio❑ was granted, it ought to be at the bankrupt's own expense. Mr. LAWRENCE trusted such a course would not be adopted; the assignees were anxious to see the consigned accounts, for at present they were not in a condition to say whether they were correct or not. His HONOUR said, that unless it was shown that the bankrupt had acted with wilful negligence and fraud, he should not make him bear the expense of the adjourn ment. The case must be very clear against him to jus tify that. As the adjournment was for the benefit of the estate, the costs must be paid out of the assets. Adjourned for six weeks. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before the AssISTANT-JUDGE.) Art l aur Keefe, David Moore, and Michael Murrane, three Irish labourers, were indicted fir violently assault ing Edward Kelly, on the night of the ith inst. 'the facts were marked by the usual peculiarities of an Irish row, and the prisoners having pleaded guilty and expressed their contrition, the Court sentenced Murrane to two months', and the other prisoners to five weeks' imprisonment each. Thomas Ryan and James Taplin, were indicted for stealing a quantity of potatoes, the property of their employer, Mr. Thomas Logan. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoners had been sent out with the prosecutor's waggon to deliver a load of potatoes to one of his customers, when Ryan re turned in a short time and said they had lost one of the sacks. This upon inquiry was found to be false, and the policeman discovered a quantity of pota►toes of a similar description at the prisoner's house. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE sentenced the prisoner to six week's imprisonment. In the case of Anguish Honor Augustus Durant, against whom a bench warrant was issued a few days before the last session closed, on the charge of having horsewhipped another gentleman in the streets, Mr. WYLDE applied to the Court to have the trial postponed until the next ses sion, on the grounds that when the case was adjourned from the last session it was with the understanding that the defendant would have a month or six weeks to pre pare his defence ; but such a short time having inter vened, he was now unprepared with his witnesses. Mr. CLARKSON, who appeared for the prosecution, said he should not oppose the application, because he was in hopes that in the meantime an opportunity would be afforded to the parties, who moved in a most respectable sphere of life, to settle the matter without bringing it before the public. The COURT then consented to allow the case to stand over to the next ses.7ions. Thomas Henry and James Smith were indicted for steal ing a coat, the property of John Andrews. The facts of the case were of the ordinary description. The prisoners entered the prosecutor's shop, and while one pretended to be looking over some articles for the purpose of purchasing them, the other managed to take down a coat, which hung near the door, with which he walked away, but was seen by a person in an opposite shop, and given into custody. The prisoners were both found Guilty, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A POLICEMAN STABBED BY HIS WlFE.—Elizabeth IVood, wife of Benjamin Wood, City police-constable 526, was brought before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, charged with stabbing her husband. City police-constable Davis stated that on Wednesday afternoon, about two o'clock, he heard that Wood had been dangerously stabbed, and had consequently been taken to St. Thomas's Hospital, and he accordingly went to Wood's house, in Talbot-court, Gracechurch street, and saw the prisoner, who said, " If you come up stairs I will tell you all about it ;" and she then said that she and her husband had had a quarrel while at dinner, and that her husband having threatened to knock her down, she threw a knife at him, which she had in her hand at the time. Her husband stooped down to pick up the knife, and she then saw a stream of blood flowing from the neck. She called out " Murder !" and her husband went to Mr. Smith, the surgeon. The knife was produced, a small pointed table knife. James Roots, police-constable 577, stated that while on duty in Gracechurch-street, about two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, he saw a cab at Mr. Smith's door, and a mob of people round. On ,going to ascertain the cause, he saw Wood, who was in uniform, get in, and observed blood flowing from a large wound in the left side of his throat. He got into the cab, and accom panied Wood to St. Thomas's Hospital, who held all the way a large lump of lint to the wound. He told the cabman to drive fast, as Mr. Smith told him to make all the haste he could, as the wound was likely to prove dangerous. Alderman GlBBS—Prisoner, would you like to say anything ? Prisoner (weeping bitterly)—No, I would rather not. Alderman GII3BS—I have here two certificates, which compel me to remand you for a week.—Remanded. GUILDHALL. CURIOUS CHARGE OF BIGAMY.—Mr. William Witt, described as a surgeon-dentist, was placed in front of the bar, having been out on his own bail since the last examination, charged with committing bigamy under the following extraordinary circumstances : It appeared, on the last examination, that in the year 1828 the prisoner married a female named Emma Ma tilda Murphy, with whom he had lived about two years. Mr. Witt got into difficulties, and was thrown into the Fleet Prison, and became acquainted with a person named Earle, who was likewise in difficulties. Mrs. Witt was likewise in the Fleet ; but, as it was asserted, in consequence of her and her husband not agreeing, she left him, and went off to Quebec with Earle, since which the prisoner had heard nothing of her until the present time. He again married, on the 19th of June, 1841, a female named Eliza Ann Hill, with whom he had about 500/., but she was also obliged to leave him about five months after, in consequence of similar ill-treatment to that which the first wife received. Mr. Earle had lately returned from New York, and having made some inquiries, at Mrs. Witt's request, as to whether her mother was alive, and it being ascertained that the prisoner had married again, and the knowledge having been received by the second wife's family that Mrs. Witt was still residing at New York, the present proceedings were taken by them. However, the case was adjourned until to-day, for the production of Mr. Earle, who was ill at the last exa mination. Mr. iluddlestone with Mr. nobler appeared on behalf of the prosecutor, and Mr. Ballantine with Mr. Wontner for the prisoner. The evidence taken at the examination was then read over by Mr. Teague, the chief clerk. William Earle, of New York, deposed to being pro prietor of tvio theatres in that city. He knew Mrs. some oi for America. Witt when in the F;eet, and afterwards, he supposed a th t e ot s it th a oyfeajru,nree,sl(Ble3d2,itnhey departed lodgings gs wi th O n e was alive on the 19th of June, 1841, the time defendant was married to his second wife. Ile was well known both in America and here, and if proper inquiries had been made, Mr. Witt would have ascertained whether his wife was alive or not. When he left New York on the 22d of July she was then alive. In 1831 or 1832 he was in trouble. Cross-examined—Had not come over to this country professionally, for the purpose of engaging actors or actresses. He was at Liverpool, but it was at the re quest of the Mayor of New York, for the purpose of consulting the Mayor of Liverpool, and other influential parties, for the purpose of establishing a mutual plan of protection, by est:.b:ishing r icart policemen at Liverpool, and English officers at New York, to carry out the principles of the international treaty. He was once tried at Newgate, in 1832, for stealing a 501. bill, and sentenced to be transported, but was immediately pardoned on its being discovered that he was the victim of a conspiracy. lie took Mrs. Witt from want and wretchedness. He also was instrumental in getting Mr. Witt released from the Fleet prison. He did not tell the Mayor of Liverpool, nor any one else, that he was come over on a visit to the Queen. He only brought over a petition for the purpose of constructing an asylum for poor people. While in London, Mr. Witt never made any attempt to induce his wife to go back to him, but, on the contrary, encouraged her. By Alderman WOOD—Was he aware that you were living with her? Witness—He was. I did not instigate any one to take these proceedings; on the contrary, I am an unwilling witness, and was subpcenaed here. Eliza Ann Hill, the second wife, deposed to being ill treated by the prisoner, who said he only married her for her motley. He also told her under what circum stances his wife had left him, and she declined marrying him until he had made the proper inquiries as to her being dead, which he pretended to do, and produced :the affidavits of two persons, who asserted that she died about six years since. About a fortnight or three weeks since she heard from the first wife's mother that she was still living, and her family instituted the present proceedings. Mr. Ballantine, in defence, animadverted in strong terms on the conduct of Mr. Earle, and left it to the Alderman to say whether the evidence adduced was o such a credible nature as to induce him to send the pri. saner for trial. _Alderman WOOD, after consulting with Mr. Teague, the chief clerk, said that in a case like the present, frataght with cruelty on the one side, and very (Nee. tion ible conduct on the other, be was unwilling to place implicit reliance on Mr. Earle's evidence. And then the question was, whether Witt had used sufficient diligence in trying to learn whether his wife was alive. lie bad beard the purport of an affidavit which had been made by Mr. Eccles, the son-in•law of Mr. Earle, to the effect chat she was dead, and under those circumstances he should adjourn the case until Saturday, for the pro- duction of that gentleman. Mr. Witt was then allowed out on his own recog- nisances, to appear on Saturday. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. TIIE CASE OF Mns. LOMAX.—A benevolent indivi dual who had seen the case of Mrs. Lomax in the daily papers on Thursday sent a letter to Mr. Hardwick, dated from Cheltenham, and signed, "A Friend to the Dis tressed," enclosing a 54 note for the use of Mrs. Lomax. The money was handed to Mrs. Lomax, t.‘ ho exprcased herself in grateful terms for this timely assistance. Mrs. LJrnax said she had seen same v. ry undeserved insinuations thrown out against her in a letter bearing the signature of her father-in-law, General Lomax, but, as she believed, really written by another person. The letter insinuated that she was not Captain Lomax's wife. To place the matter beyond all doubt, she begged the magistrate to inspect her marriage certificate. Mr. HARDwicK looked at the papers produced and fonnd them to be documents authenticating the marriage of the applicant with Henry Lomax, one of the eons of General Lomax. _ _ _ Mrs. Lomax said she had no disposition to conceal any one circumstance of her life. She readily ad-nitted that she had lived with Captain Lomax for some time before she was married to him. The marriage took place with the knowledge and approval of the General some time ago, and she had not only received presents herself from General Lomax, but the General had promised to assist in defraying the expenses of the education of her little girl. She had experienced nothing but kindness from General Lomax, and General Lomax had uniformly expressed himself well disposed towards her, as his letters to her would show. She had done nothing to forfeit General Lomax's good opinion, except the hard necessity which had driven her to make application for assistance to the parish in which she lived, and the publicity which this application obtained through the papers. Mr. HARDWICK thought the applicant could not fairly be blamed for having under strong pressure of actual distress taken the only step within her power—namely, that of applying for parish relief. Mrs. Lomax said she had written some letters to General Lomax, previously acquainting him with her distressed state, but these letters had never reached the General, they having, she feared, been intercepted. It was her belief that the General would hare done some thing for her, and would have allowed her a portion of the stipend he gave to his son, had it not been for the interference of her brother-in-law. As the General had refused to give her any assistance, and as she had no prospect of receiving any portion of the money allowed to her husband, she feared her only resource was the workhouse. . Mr. HARDwica said it was certainly a sad alternative for a person who had been accustomed to move in the better classes of society ; however, he would see, when the necessity absolutely arrived, whether it was not pos sible to persuade the parish authorities to make some rather more suitable arrangement in her case. Mrs. Lomax thanked the magistrate for the essential notice which he had bestowed on her case, and then left the Court. BANKRUPTS.

SUBSTITUTE FOR THE POTATO.—At this crisis any one who can succeed in recommending a substitute for the potato, under the destruction of the crops, de serves the thanks of the rich and the poor. Lieutenant Porter, of the navy, states that he brought from Chili, in 1824, a small green bulbous root, about the size of a marble, which he planted, and in two years it produced a fine blue-nosed potato, and this bulb is indigenous to Chili. Lieutenant Porter says that he has no doubt that the potato has actually run out, and unless the Chili plant is propagated, the potato will disappear. He re commends the cultivation of the ram, cassada, and tare, as substitutes, all of which can be easily and profitably cultivated.—New York Paper.

Professor Ifosking commenced his course at King's College, on Tuesday last , and Professor Donald son's will begin at the London University on Tuesday next.— The Builder. HOPS.—The change of opinion upon the duty is as remarkable as the vicissitudes of the weather. Last week we reported a small diminution in the amount. It is our duty this week to name a larger sum than we have yet announced. Who is in the right we are at an utter loss to guess, but a most extraordinary difference prevails. A high duty backer, who is a large dealer, sends us the following average :—Canterbury, 45,000/. ; Rochester, 66,0001. ; Sussex, 63,000/. ; Worcester, 30,000/. ; Farnham, 16,0001. ; Kingdom, 4,0001. Total, 224,0001.—Kenrsh Gazette. Loss OF THE BRIG CLIFTON, OF NEWCASTLE, WITH SIX OF HER CREW.-Mr. R. Moorhead, master of the brig Clifton, of Newcastle, of 263 tons register, ar rived at Penarth roads on Thursday morning in the barque Secret, and brought the mournful intelligence of the total loss of that vessel, as well as six of her crew. It appears that the Clifton tom! on board at Buctush a cargo of timber for London : and on the 9th of Septem ber proceeded on her intended voyage. On the 19th of the same month she encountered violent gales, ranging from S. to S.S.W., at which period the vessel became water-logged, and turned bottom upwards ; her masts then gave way, and she righted. Six men were drowned. After the survivors had spent three days and three nights in the main top, they were seen by Captain Gor a in, of the barque Secret, who took them on board. In this vessel they arrived at Penarth road 3 on Thursday morning.—Cardiff and Mertkur Guardian. REDUCTION OF RENTS.—Lord Rossworo, " tread ing in the footsteps" of the Earl of Erne, has just issued a circular, apprising his tenantry in the county of Mo naghan, of his Lordship's determination to return 15 per cent, on the year's rent now in the course of payment . THE WELLINGTON STATUE.—Yesterday, the upper portion of the scaffolding around the statue of the Duke of Wellington was so far removed, that it can be plainly seen from Grosvenor-place. The body of the statue to the horse is quite free from all scaffolding, while the in tricate portions have been taken away from the lower, so that a fair view of the horse may be had. WORSHIP-STREET. John Richards, a young man, about 19 years of age, was placed at the bar for final examination, charged with stealing a purse and a quantity of silver from the shop of Mr. Lord, a perfumer,in Church-street, Hackney. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor's wife that while seated in her parlour on the afternoon of Mon day, the sth inst., her attention was drawn to a suspi cious noise in the shop, and on looking up she saw the prisoner running out into the street. lie was instantly pursued by her shopman, who had almost overtaken him when he was suddenly stopped by a lad who told him that his mistress desired his immediate return, as she had lost nothing ; but on reaching the shop he found that the contents of the till and a purse of the value of lOs. had been stolen. Having accidentally heard that two lads named Flynn and Ricketts had been apprehended for committing a, similar robbery at Dalston, ho came to this Court on Monday last to see if he could identify them, and immediately recognised Ricketts as the person who had delivered to him the fabricated message which facilitated the escape of the prisoner. He had no sooner made the discovery, than the prisoner himself entered the Court, furnished with a written testimonal, setting forth the unimpeachable honesty and respectability of the prisoners then under examination, and witness in stantly seia2d him, and gave him into custody. The two thieves for whom he displayed such a lively interest had since been tried and convicted at the Old Bailey, and sentenced respectively to six months' imprisonment and seven years' transportation. The prisoner, who was recogtised by the police as an old offender, was fully committed for trial. CLERICENIVE L L. Richard Jones was charged with riotous and disor derly conduct in St. Andrew's workhouse, and with wilfully breaking a lamp over the workhouse door, of the value of 7s. It appeared from the statement of the officers of the workhouse, that at a late hour last night the prisoner applied fur admittance, and was admitted into the ward for the reception of casual paupers after be had been supplied with food. In the morning, at the usual hour for persons of the prisoner's description leaving the house, he received a piece of bread which he threw upon the floor, and swore he would not leave the house with out some money to carry him through :the day. The porter endeavoured to put him outside the door, but before he could do so the prisoner seized a billet of wood, with which he smashed the hall lamp to atoms. He was then handed over to the police. Mr. COMM said it was necessary that the officers of the workhouse, who had sometimes very arduous duties to perform, should be protected against such characters, and he should, therefore, send the prisoner to the House of Correction, to be kept to hard labour for seven days. LAMBETH. Mary Shepherd, a well-dressed spinster, was charged before the Hon. G. C. Norton with being drunk and in capable of taking care of herself. James Bradley, 42 L, deposed that between ten and eleven o'clock on the night before, he found the prisoner in the Waterloo-road, in such a state of intoxication that he was obliged to take her to the station-honse. Mr. NORTON—Did she make any disturbance? Wit ness—No, sir, she was pretty quiet, for that, Mr. NORTON (to the prisoner)—What are you; how do you get your livelihood? Prisoner—l'm a dress maker, your worship. Mr. NORTON—HOW came you to get so intoxicated as to be incapable of taking care of yourself? Prisoner — The fact is, your worship, that I had been taking my work home into the Strand, and my shoes being rather thin and unsuited to such a night, my feet got very wet, and fearing the consequences of a serious cold, and per haps being laid up, I took a couple of drops of gin, and it some way or other overcame me. Mr. NORTON—WeII, in my time, I have heard of various excuses for getting drunk, and I must say that this is not the worst.—(Laughter.) The night certainly was very damp, but I think you might have avoided taking so much of this gin as to reduce you to such a state of intoxication. I hope, however, that this, as you appear to be a decent person, will be a caution to you for the future. Prisoner—lndeed it shall, sir. Mr. NORTON--I sincerely hope so. You are now discharged. SOUTHWARK. J ames Byron, a marine-store dealer, in Kent-street, was charged, before Mr. Seeker, with having purchased stolen goods. A man named Regan stated that for some time past his children wero in the habit of robbing him of sheets, blankets, towels, napkins, and various other articles. He was at a loss to know how they disposed of the plunder, until at length be ascertained th a t they .ere in the habit of selling the various articles at Lie prisoner's shop. He (complainant) went there, an d f oun d a pair of overalls, which one of his children had only stolen a fewdays previously. He mentioned the fact to the prisoner, who, however, refused to de liver them up, and actually sold them to a woman for a sum treble that which he gave for them. Regan added that it was a hard case fora man to have his children encouraged by men such as the defendant, who with avidity purchased whatever property was brought to their shops, without the slightest inquiry as to how it was obtained, whether the produce of plunder or otherwise. The defendant said he was very p art i cu l ar, and denied that he was in the practice of buying stolen goods. He added, that a little boy came to his shoo with the over alls, and said ho was sent by his mother tg• sell them, and not doubting his word, he bought them. Mr. SECKER said he ought to have doubted the child, and in terms of severe reprobation denounced the con duct of persons who purchased articles—regardless whe ther they were stolen or not—from children such as those belonging to the complainant. The Magistrate then sen tenced the defendant to pay to the prosecutor the full value of the articles he had purchased of hi s c hild ren ; and directed that if he did not immediately comply, a warrant should be issued to seize his goods and chattels to cover the amount. THA ill E S. EXTENSIVE PLUNDER. —George Stollart, a young man about 24 years of age, was charged plundering his employer, Mr. David Le Bentiliin, to an extent at present unknown, but the property and moneys imme diately recovered amount to nearly 1401. The prisoner, being observed by the police carrying a box which they suspected to contain stolen property, was detained and examined, and a quantity of goods identified by his employer were found in the box. .Va rious sums of money were also foun d i n b ags belonging to the prisoner, as also a bank book of the East London Savings' Batik, with acknowledgments for 301. paid in up to August 23, 1845, and a letter to the prisoner from his wife, which, however, had no bearing upon the case. In answer to Mr. Pelham, who attended for the pro secutor, Mr. Le I3entillin said that the prisoner's salary last year was only 351. li e h a d b een a b ou t five years in his service, with an annually-increasing salary. Mr. Pelham said he would not carry the case further that day, an d t h e prisoner, who declined say i ng anything in his defence, was remanded for a week. In Sheffield there are stated to be 3,330 persons employed in the various processes of the manufacture of pocket-knivee. In this number are included 2,400 setters in; 430 pen blade grinders ; 150 pocket bl tile grinders ; 270 blade forgers; and 110 scale forgers. NumErtors ACCIDENTS. - Yesterday, the follow ing accidents we re a d m i tte d i nto t h e war d s or the Lon don Hospital :---The first case was that of William Webb, aged thirty years, who, whilst employed in load ing a cart with grains, at Abbott's brewery, Bow, East Middlesex, slipped, and fell therefrom, and the horses and the fore wh ee l s passed over his body, and he had received a severe lacerated scalp wound, one of his arms was broken, together with his shoulder bone, both jaws were broke, and several ribs fractured. Nut the slightest hopes could be entertained of recovery. The second case was that of John Warner, a carpenter, aged S 2 years. He was employed at the wharf of the Thorneley Coal Company, at Ratcliffe-cross, Lime house,.and was cutting a large piece of timber with an adze, when the axe glanced off and lodged itself between the nude and instep, nearly severing the foot. The third case was that of Charles Page, aged fifty years, who, when going along the Leytonstone-road, Essex, with a cart loaded with hay, was knocked down by another vehicle, and the wheels passed over and broke both his legs.

PROPOSED COLLEGE AT BRIGHTON.—We are in formed that a college of a superior kind is to be opened at Brighton shortly after Christmas, coal prising a lower school for younger boys, a higher department of a mote collegiate character for the elder pupils, and classes for occasional students in the highest branches of classical, scientific, and theo logical reading. The students will be fully prepared for the universities, and for the naval and military profes sions. The times require that places of sound educa tion should be multiplied in our land; that the advan tages of the old public schools should be retained and rendered more accessible, while their defects are avoided; and that the principles of an intelligent piety, and et), lightened attachment to the Church of England, should be more intimately and cordially blended with the gene ral plan of education. It seems scarcely possible to name a locality better adapted for such a design than Brighton, from its increasing population, residents as well as occasional, and from its acknowledged healthi ness. The names which stand at the head of the insti tution, and the high character and- classical and mathe matical attainments of its Principal and Vice-Principal are a guarantee to the public that it will fulfil what it professes. MARKET I'VE WS.-(YES TERDAY.) C ORN-EXCHANG E. Altbougb our statement of arrivals shows the receipt:of a full average supply of English Wheat, the number of samples of that grain on show was small. For most descriptions the demand was firm, at fully Mcnday'a quotations. There was more inquiry for free foreign Wheat, and, in some instances, selected parcels produced rather more money, the value of other kinds being readily supported. We were but moder ately supplied with Barley, the sale for which was very firm, at extreme currencies. There was a steady business doing in Malt, at very full prices.

West India Alu , covado was in excellent request for all purposes; holders obtained improved rates, and equal to those of this day week for all qualities -at auction 134 hhds 32 trcs . ,of Barbadoes were however chiefly taken in above the value. REFINED.-A stronger desire has been manifested by the home trade to purchase Refined Sugar this week, and the supply at present not being large, they have been compelled to pay rather higher rates for all descriptions. Wet lumps have been less in request, and prices declined to 598. The difference between fine yellow West India and standard lumps is only 9s per cwt. The consumption of Refined is yet very large, and prices are lower than they were at this time last year: Maustmos.-This afternoon the quantity offered at public sale was 6,402 bags; there was a stronger desire manifested to operate, and the whole sold at full prices, indeed in some cases the rates obtained- w ere rat h er higher: fine yellow fetched 525, good 48s Gd to 50s, good middling 47s 6d to 48s, middling 45s to 47s 9d, low 43s Gd to 44s 6d, fine brown 42s 6d to 435, good 40s to 41s, ordinary 37s to 37s Gd, grey low to middling 43s to 465, good to fine 47s to 495, washed 41s 6d to 45s 6d, and syrupy 368 to 433 6d.

COCOA.-There has been a strong desire manifested to operate in West India this week, and the parcels sold pri vately were at rather higher rates, good and fine red quality , being the most in request ; at public sale 111 bags Grenada 1 % sold at 40s to 41s for mid and good red, and at 46s 6d for fine I % bright. Foreign is not cheaper, but only a moderate business ts has been done ; 28 bags of red Bahia at public sale fetched 7% 4% 33s to 34s per cwt. 6s. RICE.-This afternoon 5,189 bags of Madras Rice were 11 4 offered at public sale, and the chief part sold, in consequence 4s. of merchants lowering their prices, Is to is Gd per cwt. os. SAGo.-A good demand has existed, but no further ad -6s l od vance in the value has taken place, although the supply at 4% market is not large; 614 b ag s a t auct i on were sold at 36s to o 878 6d for fine small pearl, and 34s to 36s for good. Sago 71i Flour however has risen in value, and 526 casks at auction sl4 3 were all disposed of. Of Tapioca the suppl y yet exceeds the demand, and prices continue to rule moderate. SPICES.-To-day at public sale 518 bags of Malabar Pepper were only in part sold at easier rates-half-heavy )14 light brown went at 2%d to i 3 Ad, heavy was taken in at 34 ; 2y B d to 3d ; two cases. Singapore Nutmegs fetched 2s 10d t o % 2s lid for middling brown, which is the full worth • 84 chests of Cassia Lignea sold at 55s 6d for low middling, being very full rates ; seven ceses Mace partly sold at 3s Id for middling; the remainder was taken in at 3s 6d; 204 barrels Jamaica Ginger only partly sold at 41s to 935, good and fine 129 s to 1503. - COCIIINEAL.-This afternoon at public sale 188 bags Hon duras were offered, but there was less demand and not above half sold at ld to 2d decline, low to good silvers at 4s Gd to 4s 9d, fine bold 5 s 4d to 5s 7d. - SrutiTs.--The principal feature in the Rum market this week has been the Government contract for 100,000 gallons of Rum, half East and half West India, the whole of which has been taken by Messrs. Lemon Hart and Co„ of London street, at 1-16th under 2s 2d per gallon proof strength, and which is a low price compared with the position of the market. There has been a goad demand for all descriptions of Jamaica Rum, and the rates paid have been rather above those previously current; 300 puns having been sold during the week 33 to 36 per cent over proof of fair and mid quality at 3s 4d to 3s 6d, good 3s 8d to 3s 10d ; 34 to 36 over fine 4s 4d to 4s 6d, 32 per cent. smoky quality 3s 3d.; fine 4s 4d to 4s 6d. For Leeward Island further advanced rates being asked ope rated against business, and the sales for the week are only , 100 puns at 2s 54 proof strength, and fine brown ditto 2s 6d. Calcutta has been in good demand, and prices are still on the advance; the quantity sold has been 150 puns at 2s to 2s Id proof with certificate. A fair business has been transacted in Demerara, and 3s 21 to 3s 4d paid for strong. Madras Rum of proof strength is worth Is 10%d to is 11d. INDIGO.-To-day during the progress of the sale 1,455 chests were withdrawn ; 629 chests have passed the sale. The very largo quantity withdrawn from the sale during the last four or five days ( which leaves only 2,567 chests to pas s the hammer) has had the effect on the biddings, which were brisk this day, and prices show an improvement on the,rates we have quoted lately of 2d to 3d per lb for Bengals. Madras, however, remains neglected at from the last sale's prices to 2d advance, while Kurpahs are in fair demand at from 2d to 3d advance. The quantity bought in is 150 chests. Of 16,119 chests which have now passed the sale, 8,693 have been with drawn, 2,573 bought in ; leaving 4,853 actually sold. SALTPETRE.-To-day there was a good demand for Rough, and the parcels offered at auction, amounting to 3,073 bags of Calcutta, were all sold at full former rates. OILS.-Although there are sellers of Linseed Oil at a re duction on former prices of 3d to Gd per cwt, still the home trade have operated with caution on the spot, and few parcels were taken for exportation ; 33s 3d to 24s 6d per cwt have been the rates accepted. For forward delivery there has been little passing, and prices have fallen to 24s 9d to 25s per cwt. The Crushers are evidently inclined to sell as the sup ply is large; the consumption, however, continues to be good, and greater than last year, whilst , the article is cheaper than at that time. Rape Seed Oil has been only in limited rtquest, and prices are not so firm. Olive has been in ex cellent request, and holders manifest firrentss. Cocoa Nut is still in short' supply, and, being much in request, prices are rising. Palm has been in excellent request, and is held firmly. The arrivals of Fish Oils have teen to a small ex tent only during the week, whereas the deliveries are still improving. Prices are lower than at this time last season by 40s or 503 for Cod, b u t hi g h er b y lOs to 303 for Seal. For) Southern they are much about the "same as that time, but are lower for Sperm. Southern is wanted, and previous advanced rates are fully supported. TALLow.-There is still a strong desire evinced I?Y the home trade to get supplied w i t h R ussian Tallow, the supply continuing to be small, and the deliveries increasing , fur ther advanced rates have b een compelled to be paid o* n the spot by chandlers and soap makers; indeed, the market has been nearly cl eare d , and 47s 9d to 48s per cwt are the prices p a id f or new Petersburgh Yellow Candle. Of old there i s scarcely any remaining unsold. For forward delivery large contracts have been entered into at advanced rates. Of Town Tallow there is not much to be had-it is greatly wanted at the advanced rates of 46s Gd to 47s nett cash; it is, however, still cheaper than any other sort, and the consumption the greatest. The parcels of other kinds of Tallow on o ff er have met with eager purchasers at further advanced rates. HON NOUEABLE FIRM. --DUDLEY OLD BANK.—The Inspectors of the affairs of Messrs. Dixon and Co. have been enabled to arrange for the payment of the last in stalment, making 20s. in the pound, on the debts due from the Dudley Old Bank ; and it is expected that a considerable surplus will be eventually realised for Mr. Dixon from the remaining assets. We understand that although no money has yet been provided by Mr. Dalton, debts of 212,000/. have been paid and satisfied in full, under the management of the inspectors and the praiseworthy aad unremitting exertions of Mr. Dixon.--Hereford Journal.
