THE NE w GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA. As eurree account of the trip to Alexandria with the Governor-General of India may not be unac cee.te:ole to our readers, we subjoin the followirg ex , race from the letter of a passenger on board her Areeiesty's steeam-frigate Sidon, dated Malta, Dec. 27. " The passage from England to Malta was per formed in 'about the average time, nothing of any Interest leaving occurred during the voyage. et We touched at Lisbon, Gibraltar, and stood well orer to the African shore, thus affording his Excel lericy nn opportunity of seeing Algiers and that line of cotest. "'On arriving at Malta we were much disappointed at 'Ending the Admiral and fleet on a cruise off Naples. Ha ving coaled ship here, we proceeded to Alexandria, veleere we arrived on Saturday, the 4th of December. "It was evident from the excitement consequent on our arrival that the Sidon had been some time ez petted, as our anchor had scarcely been dropped ere a galley put off, in which wire the Pacha's Prime Minister, Artina Bey, and Mahomet Bey, the captain of the port. Shortly afterwards Captain Lyons, the East India Company's agent, came off to mike the necessary arrangements for the passage up to Cairo. At one o'clock his Excelleney lande d, under a salute of nineteen guns from the Egyptian batteries, which was returned by the Sidon, the Turk ish flag having previously received a royal sa lute. " The teext day (Sunday) his Excellency attended Divine service in the Consulate chapel, and then em barked in the Pacha's own steamer, on the Mahmoudie Canal, for passage to Atfeh, where the Pacha's steam yacht was in attendance to convey us up the Nile. This steamer, it appears, had been waiting the Go vernor-G-eneral's arrival for ten days. We found her Stted up in the most sumptuous style of luxury; the state cabins were lined with embroidered satin, and the ceiling covered with white brocaded silk, the floors being tesselated with the choicest woods, and highly polished. A. splendid d6euner was prepared, consisting of the rarest productions of the season and the choicest and finest wines, which were supplied with the Pacha's usual liberality, his own cook officiating, and his pri vate servants being in attendance. " Artim Bey accompanied his Excellency to Cairo, emel was most assiduous in his attention. On arriving opposite Shubra, about three miles from Cairo, we noticed the left bank of the river thronged with spectators, whose diversity of costume presented a novel scene to those accustomed to nought but European sights. "At Shubra his Excellency disembarked. A regiment of Egyptian Lancers drawn up to receive Yen, accompanied him to the palace of Abbas Pacha, the Paella's second son, which had been prepared for his use ; the fine band of the regiment preceding the carritge, playing several English airs in most excel lent style. As our arrival took place towards dark the palace was most brilliantly illuminated, and fitted in every way for the reception of its distinguished guest. "The next day (Tuesday), at two o'clock, his Ex cellency proceeded in one of Mehemet Ali's state car riages (drawn by six beautiful Arabians), accompa nied by the Countess, Captain llenderson (of the Sidon), and his suite, in full dress to pay his visit of onremony to his Highness. " Cairo appeared quite alive, the cortege as it passed everywhere creating quite a sensation, and attracting multitudes of anxious spectators, as the cracking of the running footmen's whips caused an opening in the crowd. And here it was net a little amusing to see the. nimble little Cairo donkey and the great unwiedly dromedary shuffling out of the way in double quick time, amid the shouts and uproar of their Arab drivers, who, had they not shown ,more than European dexterity in effecting their oseape, would have received (as some few did) rather an unceremonious lash of the whip across their ill-clad shoulders. Having arrived at the citadel, in the square of which the Pacha's palace is situated, we found the troops drawn out in martial array, the hands playing, and everything arranged in the gayest manner possible. We then alighted and were ushered into a fine hall, and passing through one or two long corridors, at the end of one a splendid curtain of crimson satin was withdrawn, and we found ourselves in the presence of his Highn?ss Mehemet Ali. "The room or divan in which he received us was a spacious square apartment, with richly stained glass windows, which opened by a torte femetre upon a beauteous pleasure-ground, fragrant with the orange blossom and the perfume of a thousand choice exotics. The floor of this room was covered with a Persian carpet of most costly price and of the most exquisite fabric. The ottoman which surrounded the room was sumptuously cushioned with cloth of velvet and satin interwoven of a dusky crimson colour, and slightly elevated in the right-hand corner ,of the room sat the object of our greatest interest, :Mehemet Ali himself. As Lord and Lady Dalhousie, &c., were presented he re mained seated in the Turkish style, with his legs crossed. The Hon. Mr. Murray, the Consul. General, introducing the party, and Artim Bey interpreting in French. " His Highness is certainly a most striking. looking personage ; his beard, which is of snowy whiteness, giving a most venerable effect to a face of more than ordinary penetration and intelligence. His forehead is high and broad, and his eye keen and restless, and during our visit it wandered from face to face with most amusing quickness and scrutiny. " Atter a conversation, which occupied some twenty minutes, and the subject of which we were unable to get hold of, pipes were called for, and such pipes— umber mouth-pieces of the size of an egg, covered with brilliants, the average value of each mouth-piece being 1001. ; and first the Countess was presented with one, and then his Excellency and suite; and it was not a little amusing to watch her Ladyship en deavouring to manage her novel, and we must say, xatber unsuitable chibook. A few minutes having teen devoted to the narcotic weed, coffee was brought in little china cups, resting in sockets of blue enamel, perfectly rough with diamonds. Coffee finished, we took our leave, highly delighted with a visit which amply fulfilled our most sanguine expectations. " Next day (Wednesday) Lady Dalhousie, paid a visit to her Highness Naaby Hanum, the Pacha's eldest daughter, at her harem near Rhoda, on the banks of the Nile. She was met at the gates of this residence by four of the royal eunuchs, who, two on each aide, conducted her into her Royal Highness's tiugust presence. Her visit was most interesting, end she was treated with great distinction. Every thing in the harem is on the most magnificent scale, and in the grand square or court-yard is the splendid :silver fountain presented to Mehemet Ali by the Last India Company, and which I was told he values very highly. " The day after visits of ceremony were paid to the 'members of the Pacha's family, then in Cairo, and her ladyship called upon Mehemet Ali's youngest daughter, who was lately married to Kara Pacha. " Thursday evening having been fixed upon for his Excellency's crossing the desert to Suez, a light chariot and six, with three ' transit vans,' were in attendance at the residence of the Consul-General, where his Excellency dined, and at half-past nine o'clock the party, amongst whom was Captain Hen demon, of the Sidon, proceeded to Suez. " At Suez, the Moozuffer, Honourable Company's ;steamer, was in waiting, on board which his Excel leelie,y_iind suite immediately embarked. onboard We cannot speak too highly of the arrangements the Sidon for his Excellency's reception, nor of the assiduous and unwearied attention paid to his guests by manner and Captain Henderson,.. whose urbanity of the respect and kindness of disposition must insure him ttFe !et-ion of all who have the pleasure and privilege of h is acquaintance."

" Although my labours subject are quite in the rough, yet I hasten to them mak e known, such as they are, not doubting but that rapid be made in this su b j ec t b y hands ore Progres s will experienced than mine, and by persons who have the opportunity o f working at it under much more fav o urable condi tons than I have been able to obtain. 4i I will now indicate the means which I have th hitherto employe d, and which have given me most satisfactory resu lts without bein g perfect; and e as everything depends on the preparation of the g l ass plate, it will be better, first of all, to explain th e mode of preparing the substances employed. "I take 5 grammes (11 drachms) of starch, w hi c h I mix with 5 grammes of water, and afterwards with DS grammes more of water ; to this I add 35 centi grammes (about 5 grains of iodine of potassium, dis solved in 5 grammes of water. I place this mixture over the fire, and when the starch is boiled I allow it to cool and throw it on a filter of linen, after which I run it on the plate of glass, taking care to cover the whole of the surface as equally as possible: After baying wiped the under • side, I place it on a level aurface, perfectly horizontal, that it may dry as quickly as possible, in the sun or i to obtain a coating th a t w ill not b n a stove, in order e cracked, that is to say, that the glass be n o t covered with circles in those parts where the coating is less thic k than others (an effect produced, I consider, b y the iod i de potas sium). The starch should always be of porcelain vessel, and the quantity i pr h epared in a have above. mentioned will be found enough to coat a doze n P lates of glass of a quarter size. By this it will a ppear that it is easy to prepare a la rge number of p ates at one time. Care must be taken not to allow any bubbles of air to remain, as they would produce =nail holes in the impression. "The plate of glass having been prepared in this 'T anner, it will be sufficient, when you wish to ope rnte, to apply the aceto-nitrate of silver by means of a piece of paper dipped several times in that prepara tion; tifteZ which take 4 aecowl piece of paper, moist. THE SUN, LOND ON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY l2, 1848 ened with distilled water, and pass it along the glass. Another method consists in moistening the layer of starch on the glass with distilled water, previous to the application of the acetro•nitrate of silver; in this case the image is much darker, but the exposure to the light should be a little longer than in the method first indicated. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY. r ICtlhEa,t ViscountJ.i.w . 11,1 Palmerston, B.l p B a . It is her Majesty's Prin ci pa l Secretar y of State for Fo. hereby notified, N °7ls reign Affairs, has received from Lord Cowley, her Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary at the Sublime Porte. a dispatch, dated the Ist of December last, inclosing an official communication from Aali Effendi, the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs, stat ing that the Porte has raised the blockade of the coast oeAlbania. The tenour of the official note from the Turkish Minister is as follovvs:— " I then expose the plate in the camera obscura about the same time as is required for paper ; I have obtained very dark impressions in 20 to 25 seconds in the sunshine, and one minute in the shade. (By heating the plate of glass a little, the operation is finished in less time.) The process. is then conducted in the same way as in operating on paper, that is to say, gallic acid is employed to bring out the design, and bromide of potassium to fix it. " Such is the first process which I employed, but the idea of using albumen having suggested itself to me, I have tried it, and obtained a remarkable supe riority in every respect over the other process ; and I am of opinion that it is to the use of this substance I shall give the preference. The following is the man ner in which I prepare my plates take the clearest part of fresh white of egg (a sort of albuminous water), in which I place the solution of iodide of po tassium ; then, after having run the preparation on the plates, I dry them at a moderate temperature (if the temperature be too high the albuminous coating cracks). When I wish to operate, I apply the aceto nitrate of silver, spreading it on the plate in such a manner as to cover the whole of the surface at one time, but it will be preferable to plunge it into this preparation, in order to obtain a completely uniform coating. " The aceto-nitrate of silver renders the albumen insoluble in water, and gives it great adherence to the glass. In using albumen, the plate must be ex posed a longer time to the light than in the case of the starch ; the action of the gallic acid should also be more prolonged, but by way of compensation a remarkable purity and fineness of stroke is obtained, and which I consider will one day obtain as kigh a degree of perfection as the image on the plate of silver. _ _ (Translation.) It was notified to you, M. le Ministre, by an official note, dated 21 Shaaban last (3d August), that the coasts of that part of Albania, called Toscalij, were blockaded, and that the blockade would continue until the acts of rebellion committed by certain seditious persons were repressed; now, according to the official intelligence ' which the Sublime Porte has just received from his Excellency Rechid Pacha, Mushir of the army of Roumelia, the rebels being unable to resist the Imperial troops have:been completely dispersed, and, thanks be to God, trouble and disorder have given place to safety and tranquillity; and I have in consequence the satisfaction to announce to you without delay, that the blockade in question is raised from the 18th of Ziloandi last (Octo ber 28th).

ADMIRALTY, JAN. 10. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty do hereby give notice to such Lieutenants in her Majesty's navy as are desirous of being recommended for the appointment of Naval Knight of Windsor, under the will of the late Samuel Travers, Esq., that they must apply at this office on or before the 11th day of February next, when they will be informed of the nature of the certificates and testimonials which are required to show that they come within the meaning of the said will, which expresses that " they aro to be superannuated or disabled lieutenants of English men of war," and shall be "single men, without children, inclined, to lead a virtuous, studious, and devout life, to be removed if they give occasion for scandal." H. G. WARD. " I have tried the gelatines ; they also give designs of great purity, especially if we take the precaution to filter them (which, in fact, it is essential to do in the use of all the substances employed), but they dissolve too readily in - water. If starch be employed, the finest mast be selected for this purpose. " It is by the use of the means I have now pointed out that we obtain the negative image in proof. As to the positive, not having as yet made any, I do not speak of them, but I presume that we can operate in the same way as for paper, at least by putting the substances in starch, but not in albumen, which latter cannot be mixed with the solution of salt. It will he necessary, in the use of albumen, to plunge the plate into a silver bath. " Should it be preferred to continue the use of paper, I will engage, by the use of one or two layers of starch or albumen, to produce the same purity of design as in the impressions I have taken with iodine, but I am of opinion that, for photographical pur poses, nothing will answer better than a hard polished body, covered with a delicate layer. " May we not hope that by these means we shall be able to take proofs on the lithographic stone ? Might this not be effected by pencilling the design 60 pro duced, if it could not be taken in ink ? I have ob tained very fine proofs on schist, covered with a layer of albumen. By this means the engravers on copper and on wood might obtain images which it would be very easy to reproduce."—Patent .Journal. the office of Mr. Belcher. King's Arms-yard, Moorgste- street. It.

This was a motion on behalf of the Prince of Wales as Duke of Cornwall for the production by the de fendant, Henry Lambe, with the Clerk of the Records and Writs, for the inspection on behalf of the in formant of a deed, dated the 2d of February, 1829, and of several other deeds and writings, admitted by the defendant's answer to be in his possession, with the maps and plans endorsed on them, &c. The bill set forth an Act of Parliament of 32 Henry VIII. respecting the manor of Treverbyn, in Cornwall, which had descended to two co-heiresses, and was divided into two manors, called Treverbyn Trevan nion and Treverbyn Courtney, and it appeared that a portion of the deedlof the 2d of February, 1829, had been set forth in the answer. It was argued that therefore the plain tiff had a right to see the whole of that deed.

BENEFIT OP ADYERTISING.—Of all the facilities for business afforded by newspapers, the advertising columns afford the greatest. They put it into every man's power to send his business card into houses and families; to make himself ever present, to speak for his own cause, whenever the discussion of a subject in teresting to himself comes up. If he is a dry goods dealer, and in the family sewing circle, the want of any article of clothing, or if any ornament is spoken of, the ready newspaper tells the story, and directs them where they may at once supply themselves. The stove dealer, the coal dealer, the milliner, tailor, shoemaker, grocer, baker, and, in fact, every tradesman or dealer, whose craft ministers to the comfort or necessaries of a family or individual, finds his best and surest friend in the newspaper. The dullest times are precisely those when a man should advertise the most. If the customer has little money to expend, he very naturally looks about him to see where that little can be disbursed to the most advantage. To roam about town and make inquiries cost more than it comes to; consequently, that trades man who publishes his terms and his wares is sure of ten times in all cases, and in many ten times one hundred, the amount of the sum invested.—Advertising Almantrek.

SOUTHWARK. William Jackson, a young lad, about 16 years of age, was placed at the bar before Mr. Cottingham, charged with stealing a valuable German poodle dog, the property of a gentleman named George Henry. Complainant stated, that about three months ago he lost a valuable dog, for which he would not have taken 10/. He offered a handsome reward for it, but still he could gain no tidings Of it until yesterday, when passing by , the Royal Exchange, he saw the prisoner and a man with two dogs in their possession, which they offered for sale. He instantly perceived that the dog which the . prisoner had in his arms was his property, and was convineed. when he called it by its name. The prisoner wanted 51. for it, but witness went with him to his house in Silver-street, Union street, when he called a policeman and gave the pri soner into custody. The dog was identified as Mr. Henry's property by two witnesses. Police-constable 194 M, said, that he was called to take the prisoner into custody. The dog in question made his escape from him, as well as the man who was with the prisoner, but to show that the dog be longed to Mr. Henry, it returned to his house directly, and was recognized by the servants. On examining the prisoner's house, he found ten dogs, the majority of them of a valuable. description. There were ter • riers ' spaniels, and one little valuable dog which could be placed in a pint pot. All of them he believed to have been stolen. Mr. COTTINGIMM asked, who was the man the pri soner was with ?—The police-constable replied that it was the father of the prisoner. He supplied vessels going abroad with dogs, and had every facility of disposing of stolen ones. After be took the prisoner to the station-house, he went to his lodgings, and found some valuable dogs, all of which he believed were stolen. Mr. COTTINGUAM said that he was of the same opinion, and he believed that if the press took notice of the case, that owners would come forward and own do animals. He should certainly advise the con stable to take charge of them for the present. As for the prisoner. he must tell him that he had been guilty of a very serion.,`.' offence. The law relating to dog stealing had been altek.".!d, and the magist .t r_ate . s had the power to inflict very heavy r enalties, was quite h imprison tclear ment, where the case was proven ' .

After the prisoner was removed from the dock, the Magistrate directed !the officer to take care of the other dogs, and apprehend the prisoner's father as soon as possible. The Magistrate begs to acknowledge the receipt of the sum of 101. from the Worshipful Company of Mercers, for the poor-box of the police-court. LAMBETH.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, 'Tuesnay.—The doubt which we expressed on Thursday respecting the fitting of the Avenger with paddle-box boats has been cleared up, the gallant inventor of those " life-preservers " hav ing informed us that she was supplied with them. That these boats are good appliances to steamers no one who has seen them made use of in a surf or roller can doubt ; they were the only means which could be relied on to work safely between the Sphynx and the shore at the back of the Isle of Wight last year, and •they have proved themselves invaluable in innume rable other instances; the means of launching them, therefore, should be upon the simplest plan possible. But what is the case at present ? They are a part and parcel of the paddle-box itself, for they are 'so fitted as to render their being got over the side a matter of the greatest danger, instead of a certainty of succour in the hour of need. Notwithstanding the intended universal adoption . of paddle-box boats to steamers by the Government, there is as yet no fixed system resolved upon as a good and safe one of launching them ; at the present moment there are three or four plans of davits, by a like number of inventors, for getting these boats into the water, not one of which, however, has been proved by trial superior to the other, nor has any committee or board been ordered to test the efficacy of the said plans. Thus whether a paddle box boat may be safely lowered to the assistance of drowning crews remains as yet a matter of uncer i tainty, especially in night casualties. The Avenger, it appears, by the very little we can deduce from Lieutenant Rooke's letter, fell on her beam-ends im mediately after striking, and the heavy spars on her deck fell upon and smashed the boats before they could get out. The order for "out boats" should have begun with those on the paddle-boxes, but such does not appear the system, and those on board are first attended to, whereas the top-hamper on the paddle-boxes being first removed would have consi derably lightened the vessel. Instead of the boats being fixtures to the 'paddle-box (as they, to a consi derable extent, are, under the present imperfect sys tem of davits), would it not be better to affix tackles to them connected with the spars aloft, so that they might, on the first alarm of danger, be the first got over the side ? And, as accidents of the nature of the melancholy one under consideration in nine cases out of ten happen in the night, would it not be a good plan, when the hammocks are piped down at sunset, also to pipe "Rig paddle-boat gear ?" We think it would and that it would offer a much more certain chance of such life boats being effectually brought into service than any that at present exists. The Avenger, it appears, went on her beam ends, and, therefore, we conclude, smashed one of the paddle boats at once ; the other then became a fixture, and was doubtlessly smashed in its turn from other causes and the want of a good and infallible mode of getting it into the water. We trust that after this dreadful warning a committee will he appointed to investigate, try, and report upon the plans now offered for adoption in the service with regard to the means of launching paddle box boats, so that their service may be more certainly relied on. The boats also should be made lighter; their weight is their destruction. The cast off boats of the Retribution were so heavy when fitted, that on an attempt to get them out, they straightened their davits (of massive iron of immense thickness) and could not be got in again. On the vessel's arrival here they were cast off, and remain at 'this moment in the dockyard, a disgrace to the establishment'Aich turned them out. Two anchors, respectively of 20 and 210vt., - on the -plan of Mr. Miller, superintending engineer Of Devonport 'dockyard, were tested to-day in : the testing-house of the establishment,. and failed to sus tain the usual proof tests which anchors of that weight, are subjected to before they can be considered fit and trustworthy for service. It is much to be regretted that all such experiments as the above are not super intended by a qualified committee to report upon the eligibility or non-eligibility of all such improvements, as we fear that many valuable suggestions are lost to the service for want of a better system than at present worked upon in these and other such important mat ters connected with the service ; thus, the anchor has remained for centuries unimproved in principle, whilst everything else around . has been benefited by scientific skill and individual enterprise. The Netley tender, with supernumeraries from Devonport, arrived to-day. Wind N.N.E., moderate breezes, and dark hazy weather. WOOLWICH, J.N. 1] .- The Phccnix steam-sloop, 260-horse power, is to be taken down from Lime house to-day by the Monkey steam vessel, to be im mediately brought forward for commission at Wool wich, and will have a crew of 120 men. The Pluto steam-vessel has been taken into dock, and will require about a week to have her defects made good; when she is taken out, the Virago steam sloop is to be taken in, preparatory to being brought forward for commission. This vessel will have a crew of 160 men. She is of 300-horse power, and of the same class as the Stromboli steam-sloop.

This being the first day of iiiiary Term, the ses sions of the Ecclesiastical Courts were opened with prayers in the usual form. THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY EURDOR AGAINST MAYOR. This was a proceeding against the Rev. John Mayor, perpetual curate of Forest-hill, in the diocese of Oxford, calling upon him to answer to certain articles, especially for that, being duly licensed and inducted into the perpetual curacy of Forest-hill, a living with cure of souls, he had permitted himself to be instituted and inducted into another living with cure of souls, namely, the rectory of Hadley, in Essex, in the diocese then of London, but now of Rochester (to which he had been presented by Lin coln College, Oxford), without any legal dispensation first had and obtained, contrary to a decree of the Council of Lateran (which is operative as a law in this country), whereby he had incurred the penalty of deprivation of the living of Forest-hill. No ap pearance having been given by the Rev. Defendant, the proceedings went on in pcenam. It appeared that Mr. Mayor had been inducted into the perpetual curacy of Forest-hill (the income of which was aug mented by the governors of Queen Anne's Bounty), in 1823, and had been instituted to the rectory of Hadley in 1825, and that he still held both benefices, and received the profits and emoluments of the same. The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE and Dr. PIIILLIMORE submitted that the articles had been fully proved, and that the Court must hold, under the decree of the Council of Lateran—which Gibson said had all the force of an Act of Parliament—that the living of Forest-hill was void. _ _ Sir 11. JENNER FUST was clearly of opinion that the articles had, been sufficiently proved, and that the Court was bound to sign a sentence declaring that the perpetual curacy of Forest-hill was void by the party's acceptance of another benefice with cure of souls. [During the argument in this case, Dr. Hampden, the Bishop elect of Hereford entered the hall, and proceeded to the dining-room, accompanied by the Vicar-General of the Archbishop (Dr. Burnaby), Dr. Lushington, and Sir John Dodson, attended by Mr. Dyke, the Registrar; the Proctors for the Dean and Chapter of Hereford, and other officials. The usual forms were there gone through, preparatory to the confirmation of the election. The proctor for the Dean and Chapter exhibited his proxy, and, present ing to the Bishop elect a certificate of his having been duly elected by the Dean and Chapter to the see of Hereford, " prayed and once and again earnestly re quested and entreated that his Lordship would be pleased to give his consent to the said election." The Lord Bishop elect having read the usual schedule of consent, and affixed his signature thereto, the Vicar- General and his assistants, with the Bishop elect, at tended by the officials, proceeded to Bow Church, where the ceremony of confirmation was to take place.] The Learned JUDGE found it necessary, soon after, to adjourn the Court until the conclusion of the pro ceedings at Bow Church; but, as they lasted longer than was anticipated, he postponed the further argu ment in the case of " Geils v. Geils," which stood for this day, until Monday. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. The Lord Mayor acknowledged the receipt of 10/. from the Mercers' Company, and 5/ from the Cloth workers' Company, through the hands of Alderman Musgrove, for the poor-box. George Prince, a person who was in the employ ment of Messrs. Toulmin, of Great St. Helen's, ship brokers, was charged with' having embezzled money which he had been authorised to receive for his employers. A porter to Mr. Thompson, of Cowper's-court, Cornhill, deposed that he had delivered 9/. 9s. for freight to the prisoner for Messrs. Toulmin. The prisoner's duty was to account to another clerk for all sums above 51. He disappeared some time ago, but was met by Trew (City policeman) at Nottingham, and taken into custody. Upon being told that he was wanted for a deficiency of 701., he said the amount di.l not exceed that sum. The pro secutors expressed it to be their intention to confine the prosecution to the single deficiency of the above• mentioned freight.—Committed for trial. Solomon Abardana, a schoolmaster in the neigh bourhood of Houndsditch, was charged with having criminally assaulted a little girl of very tender years. The prisoner was bailed by two sureties for 1001. each to appear at the next sessions at the Central Criminal Court. Susan Poplar was charged with having broken two panes of glass with two loaves, The prisoner, it appeared, went into a baker's shop and wanted to be supplied with bread at a cheaper rate than the owner could conveniently part with it for. Upon finding that she was not to have her way, she flung the bread at the boy who was serving in the shop, and, missing him, the loaves went through the window into the street. The prisoner said the loaves dropped out at the window through mere accident. Sentenced to confinement on bread and water fur seven days. GUILDHALL. illary Smith, Susan Reol, and Ann Robinson were brought up for further examination, charged with being concerned in robbing an old gentleman named Clare of two 61. notes, at a house in Reynold's-court, Ropemaker- street. Smith enticed him to the house, and the others, as owners and managers of the house, were presumed to be implicated. Thu prosecutor did not attend, and the prisoners were discharged. Sir Joust PIRIE called forward Mary Smith, who was evidently a well-educated young woman, and questioned her as to whether she was willing that he should intercede with her friends to take her home again, as he understood she had respectable con nexions, and she had followed her present courses only four months. She had already narrowly escaped transportation ; but, perhaps, only to die a most painful death in an hospital if she did not at once de termine to abandon her new associates. She said she could not bear to see her friends any more. She would never return home. Sir Jour; PIRIE said, her late master and mistress were in attendance, and were ready to afford her temporary shelter and care, if she would accept it. She said she could riot bear to see them. She was undeserving of their kindness. The ALDERMAN desired her to retire into the parlour with her master and mistress, and Roe, the officer ; and after reasoning with her for twenty minutes her obstinacy was overcome. She burst into a passionate fit of crying, and went home with her mistress. Her history, it appeared, was well known to the lion. G. Norton, the police magistrate, She left home and sold her stock of jewellery and apparel to procure a seaman's outfit, and engaged as a cabin boy on board a vessel that was going to carry her sweetheart, a private soldier, to India, but her sex was discovered and she was put on shore. In a fit of frantic desperation she suddenly left a comfortable home, and threw herself into the most profligate so ciety, without having been ensnared by any particu lar person, A donation of 51. to the poor-box was handed in by Mr. Alderman Musgrove, from the Master and Wardens of the Clothworkers' Company. 1301VtST.REET. eumths Wheacr, banker's clerk, was brought up -1-tnrc t ed with robbing his fGr further examination, n of employers, the Lonaul; oint Stock %.,„''! n .Pa 500/., and upwards. Mr. Mullins attended for the prosecution; and Mr. Blackmore appeared for the prisoner. Mr. H. Robinson, the manager of the western branch of the company, in Pall-mall, repeated his former evidence as to the defalcations discovered in the accounts kept by the prisoner, then a clerk in.the bank. On reference to his cash received book, there was found an entry, in the prisoner's handwriting, of an exchange of 201. for Mr. Tucker, of Kensington ; but in his cash paid book on the same date (July 16), there was an entry of an exchange payment of 5201. Mr. Tucker, including a 5001. note, No. 6(3,704. George Fraser, a clerk in the same bank, pro duced a waste-book, to show the payment, on the 16th of July, of 201. only to the account of Mr. Tucker. He also proved the payment into their bank, of the .5001. note, on the 10th of July, by Mes3rs. Garrard and Co., silversmiths, of the Haymarket, being part of a sum then deposited and placed to the account of that firm. '►~ j;y" VP I
