It will be recollected, that about a fortnight ago the prisoners were found by Crawford, a policeman of G division, in Bleeding hart-yard, Holborn, in a state of beastly intoxication, and on being_ searched at the station-house, prop er t y i n notes and gold, to the amount of between 700/. and 800/., and a silver watch, were found upon them, which they could nut satisfactorily account for, and the robbery at Mr. Hartley's was eventually discovered. Mr. Hartley being sworn, stated that some time ago he quitted his residence at Southampton, where he left plate, bank post bills, and other property, to a considerable amount, in an iron chest. A few weeks ago his house was entered by robbers, who forced open the chest and stole the whole of the property. He received information of the robbery, and the apprehension of the prisoners, whilst he was at Calais, and he immediately proceeded to London. Inspector Busain produced the whole of the bank post bills, Bank of England notes, and the watch, found upon the prisoners, which were identified by Mr. Hartley. Mr. LAING remanded the prisoners until Wednesday (this day), with orders that Inspector Busain should take them down to Southampton, heavily ironed and properly escorted, to be tried at the Assizes.

The sales at Liverpool last week were about 35,000 packages, at an average advance of id. per lb. ; the arrivals were about 29,000 bags. FRUlT.—There continues to be a good and extensive de mand for Currants, and Red Smyrna Raisins ; other descrip tions of Fruit are neglected. Hops.—Kent and Sussex pockets are 2s. higher, and a good deal of business doing. TOBACCO.—The only sales reported are small parcels of good Tobacco for Ireland. WooL.—The holders are very firm, and are asking higher prices, owing to the stock of Wool being so very low. SILK.—The Silk market is very inactive; some part of the cargo of the ship Bengal arrived from China last week, has been sold at 20s. for very good quality, which is about the market currency. SPICES.—There have been considerable sales of Pepper at full market prices, and also of Nutmegs; for the - latter, a par cel has been taken so high as 7s. 6d. per lb. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

SUGARS.—There is little doing in Sugars, owing to the holidays; the business in Muscovades has been an average of 500 hhds. and tierces each day when the market was opened which was only for two days last week on a careful inspection of the samples last week with the previous ones a fortnight ago, the fall in prices appears to be Is. per cwt., and in Sugars about 58s. rather more; we alter our quotations accordingly. This continues to be a close holiday in the Sugar market ; there is much interest excited respecting the opening of the trade after the holidays, and the supplies that may be expected : the first extensive arrivals of West India Sugars last season were about the 10th May, and this year they will be later, but it is wrong to say there will be a much lesser quantity ; the weekly deliveries from the warehouses continue larger than last year, and they will probably continue so as the country generally is in a healthy state; and the present prices arc at such a fair medium rate that promotes the extensive consump tion, leaving a fair remunerating price to the Planter, to the wholesale grocer, and retailer in the country. The stock of West India is now 11,832 hhds. and trs., being 4,611 more than fast year. The stock of Mauritius 108,455 bags, being 18,290 more than last year. The delivery of West India 1,839 hhds. and trs., being 218 more than last. year. The delivery of Mauritius 6,679 bags, being 4,025 less than the corresponding week of 1834. In Refined there is little alte ration to notice, there are few sales • the holders still ask 335. 6d., and the buyers offer 33 5. freely without purchasing; some sales reported at 335. 3d. MAURITIUS.—The Public Sales of Thursday last were nearly 8,200 bags; the quantity being so large, and the de mand so inconsiderable, that a considerable reduction was anti cipated ; but contrary to the general expectation, the sales went off freely, as the great proportion were strong Sugars fit for Refining, and they fully supported former prices, but all the other descriptions went off about 6d. lower. EAST INDlA.—There have been sales of Bengal and Java Sugars at former prices. FOREIGN.—The only sale of foreign sugar is a pareel of white Havannah at 335. This afternoon it is reported that two cargoes of yellow Havannah Sugar afloat have been sold at 28s. 6d., one for Antwerp, the other for Holland. Some more white, on the spot here, are also reported at. 332. 6d. and 345. Average prices of Sugar 1/. 10s. 41d. per cwt. WEST INDIA MOLASSES. —There are no sales of West India Molasses to report. COFFEE.—There is no alteration in Coffee this week; the Foreign and East India are dull at the late decline ; the Bri tish plantation descriptions fully support the late prices. There were no sales of Coffee this day. A very interesting document was presented ou the 9th inst. to the Lords of the Treasury, from the Coffee dealers in London, signed by sixty nine firms, praying that the duties on Coffee for the home consumption should be reduced one-third, that is West India Coffee to 4d. per lb., and East India to 6d. per lb.—referring to the former reduction having extended greatly the consump tion of this article in England, promoting the revenue by the reduction of the duty—and also benefitting the consumers by a wholesome beverage--referring also to the reduction of the prices of Tea, and that the further reduction would still more promote the welfare of all classes, and prevent the suspected mixture of Chicory, and other deleterious rubbish with Coffee. The answer to this memorial was transmitted last week ; it is rather unfavourable, but it was probably occasioned by the change in the Ministry. The following is the answer from the late Government of Sir Robert Peel : " Gentlemen,—l am commanded by the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury to acquaint you, in reply to the Memorial signed by the Traders of London, interested in the consumption of Coffee, that my Lords will give attention to their representations, but that they must decline expressing any opinion on the expediency of reducing the duty on Coffee.—l am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, (Signed) T. S. FREMANTLE. Treasury Chambers, April 14, 1835. TALLOW.—We have often adverted to the circulars and other publications respecting the future prices and the probable sup plies of Tallow to this country, demonstrating that they were issued by interested parties, and not to be believed ; the sup plies of 1835 are now estimated at 40,000 casks less than for merly, and they are still wide of the mark, but there are now extensive buyers at market for forward delivery, chiefly the large Russian houses, who are still extensive holders. They purchase about 385., and the quotations for parcels on the spot are about 365. 6d., with a healthy and firm market. Run, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The late sales of Rum are Leewards 6 over at 2s. 2d., rather higher, and strong Deme rara rather easier, 27 and 28 over at 2s. 9d., and 37 and 38 at 3s. Id. In Brandy or Geneva there is no alteration to report. SALTPETRE.—There are no purchases of Saltpetre. RICE.—The quotations of Rice must be considered nominal : the inserted prices could not be obtained. INDIGO.—There are no sales of Indigo to report. TEA.—The prices of Tea are completely nominal. The following are the deliveries last week, they are on a very con fined scale, showing that the dealers will not buy except for their immediate wants.—Week ending 19th April, +-chests 310, ? 2 -chests 39, and large 57. Total 302,3181b5. lalso PROVlSlONS.—Notwithstanding the actual consump tion of Bacon has been small during Lent, still the market ice of green has continued to improve, the shippe rs p ersist nrefusing offers at present prices, which will beyond doubt • further advance; 365. per cwt. on board being the shipping ss present, but as the manufacturers are giving 28s. 6d. for pigs, we 40s. on board will soon be obtained. Considerable business has been done : a ??utter during the last year, and there is every probability of tee stow(rui ning off. Our Stocks and Deliveries are estimated as follows : BUTTER. BACON.

JERUSALEM AND TIIE HOLY LAND.—We con gratulate the public on the announcement of a new and very cheap edition of the Viscount de Chateaubriand's celebrated Travels to Jerusalem and the Holy Land." This work forms an admirable companion to the Scriptures, for perhaps no tra veller has taken such pains to investigate and describe the scenes renowned in the inspired writings, and certainly no one has approached Chateaubriand in infusing into his narrative that fervid eloquence which so grand and sublime a theme is calculated to call forth. His account of the Holy City, in particular, is full of the deepest interest. " When the pilgrim of old," says our author, " had accomplished his journey to the Holy Land, he left behind his staff at Jerusalem, and re turned with that of a Palmer. I have not brought back to my country a similar mark of honour. For years I have de voted myself to study amid dangers and afflictions of every kind. Many of my pages were written beneath the tent, in deserts; and I have often held the pen without knowing whe ther my existence was likely to be prolonged for a few mo ments; these are claims to indulgence—not titles to glory." MODERN TURKISH REFORMS. —During. the reign of Mahmoud have been abolished the state and etiquette which were formerly the all-absorbing occupation of the Court and capital—all the useless charges of the seraglio have been swept away. An economy has been introduced in several de partments of the State, which, all things considered, is really surprising. The power of life and death has been withdrawn from the Paellas ; the Christians have been relieved from those burdens and prohibitions that galled them before ; the number of Pachas greatly diminished ; the revenue, notwithstanding the deficiencies caused by the loss of the contributions of Greece, Albania, Walachia, Moldavia, of Servia, for many years ; of Egypt, Syria, Candia, Bagdad, lately of Akhal zick, Kars, and Erzeroom , and, in consequence of the actual preparations against Mehemet Ali, of Sivas, Malatia, Marash, Chorum, Diarbekir, that is of full one half of the empire, is yet in a state to meet the increased demands of the new organiza tion. Political culprits and rebels are not merely pardoned but trusted, according to their political capacity. The prisons of Constantinople are empty ; there are no heads on the Se raglio gate. These are facts, and they do not cease to be so because not known in Europe. The empire has weathered these storms, has accomplished its internal reform, and the hands of the Governrxint have been strengthened, and the independence of the people increased. If the Sultan be re l. viith the want of intellirr ,, nce that Mehelact Ali lias shown in preparing and organizing a military force in propor tion to his empire, we answer, that if Mahmoud had shown that intelligence it is very probable that we should not now be recounting ameliorations that have taken place during his reign. Had he possessed a strong standing army he might have at tempted the same game as Mehemet Ali; and if he had, nei ther the character of Sultan, of Calif, or of Ottoman, could have saved him. His safeguard, the negative cause of the ameliorations that have taken place, may he found in his military weakuess,—Paniphlet on the Affairs of the .East S. tO S. PRIL 17 DING A Independent Paper.) It has fallen to our painful duty to record a few particu lars of a most savage and fatal assault upon an aged and in offensive female, and which too plainly exhibits some of the injurious and deplorable effects of intemperance. It appears, that on Thursday last, about half-past six in the evening, as Mrs. Bisson, a widow, of the advanced age of 89, was returning home from a visit to her daughter, Mrs. Lennard, at the Coie, St. Saviour's Road, she was, suddenly attacked, in a ferocious and brutal manner, by a party of young ruffians, in the garb of sailors. Two of the party walked a little in advance, while three others tripped up the heels of Mrs. Bisson, and dragged her some distance, at the same time :ling language of a most disgusting and indecent nature. It has since been ascertained that the two first mentioned took no active part in the assault, though they offered no opposition to the perpetration of a deed that would have disgraced savages. Mrs. Lennard had accompanied her mother a considerable distance on her way home, and wished to proceed further ; but having an infant crying in her arms, Mrs. Lennard gave way to the repeated entreaties of her parent , that she should return with the infant, and expressed no fears of her own safety. Mrs. L. was some distance on her way back, when perceiving a number of young men, much inebriated, and whose deportment augured no good inten tions to the peaceable and well-disposed ;she sent one of her little girls to overtake her grandmother, and conduct her safely to her own residence at Pied des Creux. The child soon overtook Mrs. Bisson, who was prostrate on the pave ment, and appeared in great agony. In endeavouring to raise herself, the aged sufferer said, pointing with her finger to some young fellows, (supposed to be the sailors noticed by Mrs. Lennard) who were running -away, " There they are, running." No one being at band to pursue the fellows, they effected their escape. Mrs. Bisson was then conveyed to the house of her daugh ter—four hours after which, she expired ! An inquest was held on the body on Friday evening last ; which, after the above particulars had been given in evi dence, adjourned to two o'clock the next day. The constable of St. Helier's used his utmost exertions to trace the offenders ; and on Saturday morning succeeded in apprehending Charles William Lempriere, James Powell, and George Durell. SATURDAY, Two o'CLocx.—At this hour, the inquest resumed its sitting, when, from the evidence of Doctors Dixon, Le Gros, and Francis, who had opened the head of the deceased, it appeared that her death was caused by a blow on the back part of her head, which produced a pres sure on the brain. Dr. Dixon distinctly stated, in answer to a question of a juror, that " fright had not produced her death." The prisoners were separately examined, and evidence of such a nature elicited from them, that the jury unanimously returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Charles Wil liam Lempriere, James Powell, and George Durell ; and severely censured the inhuman conduct of Henry Norman and Philip Gaudin, for not attempting to prevent the dia bolical conduct of their companions. Mrs. Bisson's funeral took place yesterday. at 3 o'clock, attended by about fifty of her relations and friends. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

THE R EGI S T ItY.—Upwards of eighty persons have been registered at the Thomastown Sessions—all stanch libe rals. Not a single Conservative, as we have learned, could effect a registry. — Kilkenny Journal. _ _ _ So heavy a fall of snow took place on Friday last in Paris, that the roofs of the houses were covered four or five inches thick. The thermometer of Reamur remained throughout the day at from three to four above zero. " Good instruction is better than riches" was the motto that William Penn, the illustrious founder of Pensyl vania, placed on the seal of a literary incorporation, granted by him 150 years ago. "In proportion as the structure of a Government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should bo enlightened," said Washington. " A well-instructed people alone can be a permanently free peo ple," said Madison. " Make a crusade against ignorance," said Jefferson. THROWING VITRIOL.—On Saturday night about eight o'clock a gentleman walking along Castle-street was ac costed by a woman who, we have heard, lived in his service, and who, for soma robbery committed while in it, had been tried, convicted, and imprisoned. She asked him for money. He said that he would give her some, if she would promise to change her way of life. He had scarcely spoken when the woman threw a quantity of vitriol, which she had in a cup, in his face. The vitriol caused temporary blindness and pain. He was immediately taken to Mr. Butler, the druggist's shop, where suitable remedies were applied, and which, in a short time, removed the pain and the smarting from his face and eyes. The woman was seized by a spectator of the assault, and conveyed in custody to BrideweLl—Liverpool Standard. EXPANSION OF GLASS BY HEAT.—Take a glass tube of about six millimetres in diameter, and from twelve to fifteen centimetres long, having a globe at the end about the size of an orange, and fill the globe and a part of the tube with coloured water (the latter being graduated), then plunge the globe into a vessel of nearly boiling water, and then sud denly withdraw it. When first immersed, the coloured water will suddenly descend in the tube, there being apparently a considerable decrease of the quantity contained ; but it will rise higher in the tube than it was at first when taken out of the hot water. The explanation of this phenomenon is, that the glass globe expands when put into the hot water, and its capacity becoming greater, the liquor, as a natural conse quence, descends in the tube. The liquor in the glass expands as well as the glass itself, but not in so great a degree. When withdrawn, however, from the hot water, by coming in contact with the cold air, it resumes its former dimensions again as it becomes cool. If the expansion of the globe were less than that of the liquid it contains, the latter would rise in the tube, as is exemplified in the thermometer. This sudden expansion of glass by the application of heat accounts for the cracking of tumblers, wine-glasses, and other glass vessels, so frequently broken in washing by servants and others ignorant of the phe nomena here explained. Porcelain and china are liable to the same effects from similar causes. John Williams, of Swallow -street, Piccadilly, was em ployed by the Stamp Office occasionally, and that on the 27th of February he purchased twelve copies of the Poli tical Register, late the London Police Gazette, at the de fendant's shop, for which he paid ls. 4d. On the 7th of March he purchased another dozen of the same publication at the same place. The defendant was in the shop, and sanctioned the sale. The papers contained news of various kinds, and were all of them unstamped. The witness pro duced a placard advertising the publication, which he also received with the numbers at each purchase, and which was posted outside the defendant's shop. Mr. Edmonds --Witness, do you often do business for the Stamp Office ? Witness—Yes, whenever there is any thing to do. Mr. Edmonds—Do you find the employment profitable? Witness—Yes, very. Mr. Edmonds—Do you think the sale of these publica tions injurious to the revenue or otherwise ? Witness—l consider it very injurious. Mr. Edmonds—Because some of the newspapers advo cate the abolition altogether of the tax upon publications as being likely to benefit the revenue ? Sir F. ROE—I must stop this course of cross-examina tion. Any questions as to facts lam willing to hear ; but I cannot take the witness's opinion either way. The defence was that Mr. Couzens had had nothing to do with the business since Christmas, and to prove this, Mr. Edward Stallwood, of No. 2, Springthorpe-place, Hammer smith, was called, anti stated that he had acted as pub lisher, on Mr. Couzens's premises, of the paper in ques tion, since Christmas, and that the latter took no part in it whatever. Sir F. ROE—What are you, Mr. Stanwood ? Mr. Stall wood—Why, Sir, I will tell you boldly at once that I am a vender of unstamped publications. Sir F. ROE—Where do you vend them ? At your own residence, or at any other place besides the defendant's shop ? Mr. Stallwood—l have always understood that a man is not bound to criminate himself.—(A laugh.) Sir F. ROE—Who acted at the defendant's shop besides yourself? Mr. Stallwood—Two boys. Sir F. ROE—And what was published there ? Mr. Stallwood—Unstamped and other publications. Sir F. ROE—Was Couzens there himself sometimes ? Mr. Stallwood—He was. Mr. Edmonds submitted that there was no case proved against the defendant personally. Sir F. ROE thought the evidence quite clear, and con victed the defendant in the penalty of 20/. and costs, and in default to be committed for six months to the House of Correction. The defendant said he should appeal. Mr. Fragnoit, another publisher, was convicted in the same penalty for vending the same publication, and he also gave notice of appeal. MAR YLEB ONE. Yesterday four men, named Pullen, Flower, Dow, and Bird, were placed at the bar, charged on suspicion of stealing a quantity of various descriptions of plants, value 101., from the garden belonging to Kilburn Lodge, Kilburn, the property of the Rev. R. Davis, who resides in Devon shire. Pullen was committed to hard labour in the House of Correction for two months, and the other prisoners dis charged with a caution. AfARLBOROUGH-STREET. An extraordinary-looking individual, in the dress of a countryman, with beard on his chin and upper lip, and holding in his hand a bill-sticker's wand, having a written placard on it, was yesterday brought before Mr. CONANT, charged by a policeman with having been just found in St. James's-square, holding forth opposite the residence of the Bishop of London. The policeman said the defendant persisted in causing a crowd by his anathemas against Popery and its champions, and he was, therefore, obliged to take charge of him. The placard was as follews : " Will you give anything for the sake of the Lord ? Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers, for what fellowship hath right with might ? What connection bath light with darkness ? What communion hath Christians with Belial ? In what hath the believer sympathy with the infidel, and what agreement is there in the temple of the Lord with idols ? For ye are the temple of the Lord, and the Lord hath said ye are his people.' Ever dwell and walk in his fear ; have no communion with Popery ; be ye sepa rate, and touch not the unclean thing. I, John Sketchley, bill-sticker, and champion of the Church, ready to fight against Popery. God save the King." On the other side was— " I command you to stick up for your rights and pay the King his dues." Mr. CONANT asked the defendant why he did not em ploy himself in bill sticking, rather than in carrying about such placards ? Defendant—The Lord has commanded me to do so. I came here in consequence of a " vision," and I must fulfil my mission. Mr. CHAMBERS—Why, your placard is a regular begging petition. It sets out with asking people to give you some thing. What do you say to that ? Defendant—l am commanded so to do by the Lord, Mr. CONANT—Have you ever been in confinement? Defendant—Yes. I was taken to Bow-street and sent to prison for a month for the same thing. Here the defendant suddenly broke forth into a rhapsody of Scriptural sentences, exactly in the style of the street preachers about the metropolis. The Magistrates finding that the defendant refused to give any promise that he would abstain from fulfilling " his mission" sent him to prison for fourteen days. In his pocket was a printed card, containing " J. Sketch ley, bill-sticker in all its branches. Orders punctually executed. May be seen at the Nag's Head public-house every day, from ten till four. Amen." TVORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday, James Smith, a young man, about 9.0 years of age, was charged before Mr. TWYFORD, with breaking into the dwelling-house of Mr. W. Huggins, at Haggerstone. The prisoner made no defence ; and Mr. TWYFORD fully committed him to Newgate for trial. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday John Williams, a disciple of St. Crispin, was brought before Messrs. BENNETT and Ron Ens, charged by Mary Parrock, a washerwoman, residing in Peter -street, Clerkenwell, with having stolen a skylark, under the fol lowing circumstances : Th prosecutrix being sworn, stated that she had the sky lark some time in her possession, and she was in the habit of keeping it in a cage, which she hung outside of her back window. A few mornings ago she was surprised at not hearing the notes of the bird as usual, and on looking out she missed the cage and the bird. She made every inquiry after it to no purpose, and on speaking to a policeman, he informed her that he had seen some person with a long pole reaching towards her window, and he had no doubt but those were the means used to deprive her of her property. Slie, however, frequently heard the singing of the bird, and at length she felt satisfied that the notes " so familiar to her ear" issued from the prisoner's apartment, which was adja cent to her own, and she accompanied the officer to his residence, where they found him hammering away on his lapstone and singing, while her favourite bird was accompa nying him in the most " lofty and melodious strains." He denied having stolen - the bird, and said that it had been given to him by a friend ; but he was given into custody. The policeman produced the bird in a cage, and corro borated the prosecutrix's evidence. Mr. BENNETT—Does the cage belong to you ? Prose cutrix—No, your Worship ; it is in a fresh cage. Mr. BENNETT—Then, how can you identify the bird ? Prosecutrix—lt has two white spots on each wing. Mr. BENNETT—And pray what is such a bird worth? Prosecutrix—lt is so valuable to me that my brother offered me one pound for it, which I refused to take. Mr. BENNETT (smiling) said it was ridiculous to set so high a value upon such a bird as a skylark ; it was a com mon bird, that could be procured for a shilling. • Mr. Rogers also sailed, and concurred with Mr. Bennett. Prosecutrix—That may be, Sir ; but you don't know the real value of that bird. I wouldn't part with it on any account. I've larnt it to sing tunes ; I've larnt it to dance ; I've larnt it to tumble, and to ape death and come to life again—(Laughter)—and to convince your Worships that that bird belongs to me, I'll order it to lay down before you, and it shall rise again the moment I tell it to do so. It shall sing when I order it, and do any thing else.—(Ex cessive laughter.) Mr. BENNETT.—If that is the case, it must be an extra ordinary bird, and must be undoubtodly your's. He how- LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday, three ruffianly-looking fellows, named Daniel M'Donald, Richard Regan, and Michael Harrington, were charged before Mr. WALKER and a county Magistrate, with the following outrage and assault : John Arnold, a waiter at Mr. Smith's, the Harrow, at Poplar, stated that shortly after seven o'clOck on that morn ing, the prisoners came into the tap-room of his master, and called for a pot of beer, with which they were served. They then called for another, but his master by this time perceiv ing that they were intoxicated, refused serving them any more liquor. On being made acquainted with this, they instantly became noisy, and expressed their determination to kick up a row. He requested them to go away peace ably from the house, but instead of doing so, one of them, Harrington, seized him by the throat, while the others struck at him violently, and he got severely used by them. Mr. Smith, jun., said, that on his going to the assistance of the last witness, he was instantly struck by Regan, and knocked down. On getting up, he kept them at bay as well as he could, but still he got most roughly handled by them, and his clothes torn to pieces from his back.—(Mr. Smith here exhibited a coat, which was nearly new, but which was literally torn to shreds.)—ln continuation, he said that the conduct of the prisoners was the most outra geous he had ever witnessed. They had even knocked down, in the most unmanly manner, two females who had been exerting themselves to pacify them ; and it was with considerable difficulty that they were removed from the house and taken to the station-house. The MAGISTRATES convicted them in the penalty of 20s. each, or in default of payment to a month's imprisonment. QUEEN SQUARE. Two Irishmen, named Ryan and Lines, were brought up in custody and placed at the bar, charged before Mr. Hos- KINS with stealing a quantity of branches of timber trees from Hyde-park. From the evidence of the Park-keeper, it appeared that several oak trees are being cut down near the Magazine in the Park, which are shortly to be disposed of by public auction, and the Commissioners of the Woods and Forests have been plundered to a considerable extent by persons taking away large quantities ofthe branches and other parts of the timber. Ryan had been employed upon the spot, and was detected by a police constable of the A division, in company with Lines, in taking away about eight feet ten inches of the timber. Both prisoners begged hard to be forgiven, protesting that they thought there was no harm in taking away the wood. Mr. HOSKINS told them he considered that they ought to be punished, and sent them for one month to the House of Correction. UNION-HALL. Yesterday the Magistrates of this Office were occupied a great portion of the day in the investigation of charges of assault, so prevalent on the South side of the Metropolis during Greenwich fair time. Some of the cases were of an aggravated nature, especially one in which a respectable looking man, named Dickies, a watchmaker, was charged with stabbing William Ansted, with a pen-knife, in the Kent-road. At the request of the complainant, the case was allowed to stand over until the extent of the injury was ascertained, the medical man not having probed the wound, owing to the degree of inflammation which existed. Henry Miller was charged with committing an assau lt on Joseph Osman, commonly known by the cognomen of " Jack Ketch's assistant," and who presented a petition some short time back to the Court of Aldermen, t o rein state him in the office of assistant executioner. Osman, on the afternoon afore, took his wife arid littl e uns for a walk along the railroad, and as they was a going along, his wife says, " Joe, let us stop at the Dun C ow , and have a drain, afore we go on to Deptford." Says Ito my wife, " I don't care if we does," and so in we goes, an d while we was making ourselves comfortable over a pot of beer and some saveloys, in walks Miller (that's the roan wot struck me), and guv'd me those here two black ey es. Well, your Worship, Mister Miller had no sooner cor m into the room, than he begins to throw out his hugly hint s about my calling ; and, not satisfied with that there, he attacks my wife on the score of her vartue, and said as how she was a konkybine afore she knowed me. That was nothing whatsumdever to him, as I told him at the time ; and I said that he was no man for so doing, and I no sooner said the words than he challenged me out to fight ; but I said that I wanted to have no rumpus with him about such consarns, and to show that I had no ani mosity against the man I axed him for to drink out of the wery pot as my wife and I was a drinking from. He says in answer to that there, " I'll go out of the room and ax myself a few questions afore I drinks with the likes on you." " Very well," says I, " do ;" and when he comes in again, a'ter axing himself the few questions, he says, " No, I'm blow'd if it shall be said that Harry Miller was ever the man that took a draught out of the same pot with a hang man. Well, your Worship, that there word was enough to wex any man having the feelins of a man about him, and I told him so ; and instead of saying as how he felt sorry for what he had said, he turns up his sleeves, and pitches into me right and left, and never left off until he made my face in the pickle your Worship now sees it." The com plainant's countenance was very much battered. " I do believe," added Osman, " had not the police come to my assistance I should not be here all alive to tell my story ; and what makes the thing worse, I have been prevented from executing a job that I had to do in the country." In reply to the Magistrate, Osman stated that the job he had on hand was not in the way of his " profession," but to try and get some money which was coming to him at St. Alban's. Osman's wife stood forward, and explained that the de fendent was her nephew, and that the quarrel first began between her husband and the latter about family affairs, during which she came in for her share of abuse. She said that although her husband was what he was, " Yet," said she, " he never was arraigned at the bar of the Old Bailey, or any bar for an offence, and as long as he did his duty • honourably and fearlessly, she did not see why he should not be respected as well as another man." Miller, the defendant, said that Osman was the aggressor in the first instance, and that he had been endeavouring to prejudice some of his relations against him. The Magistrates perceiving a spirit of conciliation in the parties towards each other, being relatives, they were per mitted to retire to settle their differences. CONVERSATION.—The first ingredient in conver sation is truth; the next, good sense; the third, good humour; the last, wit. On the 4th inst., eighteen horses were destroyed by fire at Clery in the Cote d'Or, and a woman and a child perished in the flames. The telegraph between Liverpool and Holyhead has, during the last week, been used for a purpose of which its pro jectors had certainly no idea—namely, for that of instructing horticulturists as to the best time for preparing their gardens and getting ready the seeds for their plants. It may, per haps, be remembered that both the wind and weather changel on Tuesday last week, the wind from east to south, and the weather from drought to rain. On the afternoon of Monday, when the dust was flying about in clouds, and there was every prospect of continued dry weather, a gentleman went into the shop of a seedsman in Liverpool, and, after buying a quantity of seeds, desired that they might be sent home directly, as he intended to sow them next day. The seedsman, thinking that they were not very likely to vegetate in such cold and dry weather, asked him if it would not be well to put off the sow ing until the weather changed. The purchaser replied that the reason why he ordered them to be sent immediately was, that the weather was sure to change next day, as he had just seen the telegraph news, which stated that it was bloviing south and raining at Holyhead, and the change was sure to reach Liverpool in 24 hourA. The result showed that the purchaser was right in his observation ; for the wind veered about early next morning, and before noon the ground was watered by a refreshing shower, which continued all the day, and has sinco changed the whole face of nature.
