T LO ND ON WEDNESDAY •p-7 .14 1 Tr E `°4l "N t 4 JANUARY 12 18:48 SU N A , • e - VHE.NEW GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA. As some account of the trip to Alexandria with : ',l 4 se Governor- General of India may not be unac !pptable to our readers, we subjoin the following ertract from the letter of a passenger on board her '4'..ajesty's steam-frigate Sidon, dated Malta, Dec. 27. " The passage from England to Malta was per rmed in about the average time, nothing of any .4aterest having occurred during the voyage. " We touched at Lisbon, Gibraltar, and stood well toyer to the African shore, thus affording his Excel iency an opportunity of seeing Algiers and that line .V coast. " On arriving at Malta we were much disappointed et finding the Admiral and fleet on a cruise off Naples. Having coaled ship here, we proceeded to Alexandria, where 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 expected, as our anchor had scarcely been dropped ere a galley put off, in which wore 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 make the necessary arrangements for the passage up to Cairo. At one o'clock his Excellency_ landed, 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 salute. " The next 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-General's arrival for ten days. We found her fitted 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 d&uner 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, and 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 him, accompanied him to the palace of Abbas Pacha, the Pacha's second son, which had been prepared for his use; the fine band of the regiment preceding the carriage, 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 (,'clock, his Ex cellency proceeded in one of Mehemet Ali's state car rias (drawn by six beautiful Arabians), accompa nied by the Countess, Captain Henderson (of the Sidon), and his suite, in full dress to pay his visit of ceremony 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 nnwiedly 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 escape, 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 bands playing, and everything arrange:l in the vsyest minner pos.Aih!e. We then alighted and were, tisheeed into a lin 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 Highness Mehemet Ali. "The room or divan in which he received us was a Spacious square apartment, with richly stained ghtss windows, which opened by a poste fenetre 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. "After 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— amber 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, rather unsuitable chibook. A few minutes having been 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 Nazby Ilanum, the Pltha'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 side, conducted her into her Royal Highness's august presence. Her visit was most interesting, and 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 East 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 Kamil 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 clarion, of the Sidon, proceeded to Suez. At Suez, the Moozuffer, Honourable Com p an y 's steamer, was in waiting, on board which his Excel leiteivana Suite immediately embarked. 4 e _ cannot speak too highly of the arrangements on board the Sidon for his Excellency's reception, nor of the assidn'tia and unwearied attention paid to his guests by Ca p tainaff ee e Henderson, whose urbanity of manner kin dness of of of disposition must insure him the respect and an pect and kin all who have the pleasure and, privilege of his acquaintance."

ON THE TARING OF PIIOTOG ItAm ' c BY NIEPCE ST. vie T IMAGES ON GLASS, IC Although my labours on this subject are quite in the rough, yet I h a s t en to make theirs known, such as t h e y a re, not doubting but that rapid b e made in this subject by hands morepreeoxplierrsitsTilidl than mine, and by persons who have the of working at it under much more favourable;ohnadivre d o ns than I have been able to obtain. "I will now indicate the means which hitherto employed, and which have given me th e most satisfactory results without being perfect; and as everything depends on the preparation of the glass plate, it will be better, first of all, to explain the mode of preparing the substances employed. "I take 5 grammes (11 drachms) of starch, which I mix with 5 grammes of water, and afterwards with 95 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 a llow 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 having wiped the under sid,l surface, perfectly horizontal,sueinl as possible.. After quickly as possible, in the place it on a level ,torb th ei a n t nits stove, o lt v a e y , in dr o y rde a r s to obtain a coating that will r il acked, that is to say, that the glass be not covered thancircles iner others those (a n parts where the coating is less thi w cl ie c t the s iodide of effect produced, I consider, bypotas sium).prheapvaer prepared above.in a The starch should alw a be porcelain vessel, and the' quantity I mentioned will be found enough t 7 coat a dozen plates of glass of a quarter size. )3 , this it will appear that it is easy to prepare a large number of plates at one time. Care must he taken not to allow any bubbles of air to remain, as they would produce small holes in the impression. " The plate of glass having been prepared in this manner, it will be sufficient, when you wish to ope rate, to apply the aceto-nitrate of silver by means of a piece of paper dipped several times in. that prepara tion, after which take a second piece of paper, moist 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. " I then expose the plate in the camera obscure 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 i n 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 i 3 to the use of this substance I shall give the preference. The following is the man ner in which I prepare my plates :—I 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 high a degree of perfection as the image on the plate of silver. " 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 must 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 bj neceisary, 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 so 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... NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.-- , 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 arid the shore at the back of the Isle of Wight last year, and they have proved themselves invaluable in innume rable other i:ivances; the means of launching them, therefore, should be upon the simplest . plan possible. But what is the ease at present? • They are a part and parcel of the paddle- I),x itself, for they are sa fittA as to render their being gut 'over the side r. matter of the greatest danger, instead of a certainty of succour in the hour of need. Notwithstanditig 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 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 he 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 be 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 which turned them out. Two anchors, respectively of 20 and 21cwt., 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. WooLwlcu, JAN. 11.—The Phcenix 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.

BENEFIT OF ADYEETISING.—Of all the facilities for business afforded by newspapers, the advertising columns afford the greatest. They put it into every man's powor 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 ho 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 then 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.—Adiertising Almanack. TUE RAILWAY PIONEER.—We learn that the case of Mr. Thomas Gray, whose claims to the early pro motion of the railway system have been asserted in a pamphlet written by Mr. J. Wilson, has been warmly espoused in Belgium, and that efforts are being made to raise a subscription for Mr. Gray, which may come in aid of his resources, and sustain him at the latter end of a useful life. We should be glad to find that some efforts were made in England to vindicate her from the reproaches of ingratitude towards one whose labours have in any degree led to the development of that noble system of communication, at the head of which this country staads prominent. Boxes have been set up at the stations of several Belgian lines for the reception of contributions towards the fund which, unhappily, the necessities of Mr. Gray render even more imperative than his meritorious exertion in the early days of rail way formation. We shall be glad to find the example adopted in other countres, where testimonials are so liberally, if not judiciously, obtruded upon public men. —Railway Timm . _ TLIB PRINCESS ROYAL.—The following little anec dote of the Princess Royal was lately current at 'Wind sor..Mr. Brown, the apothecary to the Castle, was in the habit of visiting the-Royal children every morning, and the Princess persisted in addressing him as "Brown." Her governess insisted that " Mr." should be prefixed, and threatened that if her tittle Royal Highness did not remember this on the next occasion, she should be sent to bed as a punishment. The morning after, when Mr. Brown appeared, the Princess addressing him, said, " Good morning, Brown—and good night too, fo r I tun just going to bed."—Family Joe Miller.

ROLLS' COURT, Jan. 11. This being the first day of term, the Court heard motions. THE ATTORNZT•GENERAL OF THE PRINCE OF WALES V. LAMBE. 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 la portion of the deedof 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. Mr. Turner and Mr. Elmsley were for the produc tion; and Mr. Kindersley and Mr. Follett for the defendant, contra. Lord LANGDALE said he would read over the pleadings, and give his opinion on Friday morning. ARCHES' COURT, Jan. 11. This being the first day of Hilary Term, the ses sions of the Ecclesiastical Courts were opened with prayers in the usual form. A clerk from Messrs. Garrard and Co.'s also gave evidence of this payment. Mr. Stock, a clerk in- Glyn and Co.'s bank, proved the payment of the 5001. note, together with another note for 3001., to the account of the Belfast and Ballymena Railway and the Limerick Railway, in the name of Charles Wheeler, a shareholder in each company, the payment being then made in respect of the shares held by him. Mr. Robinson produced a receipt handed to him by the prisoner, and relating to the above payment, which he admitted. Mr. Mullins now proposed to enter upon a charge against the same prisoner of embezzling 3451., the amount of a deficiency in his accounts, discovered on the l st of January instant. Mr. HENRY said the case could not assume the form of an embezzlement, unless it appeared that the prisoner had received and disposed of money of which he had made no entry in his books. Mr. Mullins said the• sums were duly entered in his cash books, but the amount was missing from the till. Mr. HENRY said that this was clearly, then, a case of felony, and the prisoner must be charged with stealing. Mr. Mullins said, under these circumstances, he must ask for a farther remand for a week, upon the evidence which would be given by Mr. Robinson upon this charge. Mr. Robinson then proved that, according to the prisoner's entries of his cash receipts and payments, he had to account to the bank for the sum o f 532 f. 145., the balance due from him on the 3] st of Decem ber. On the following morning, Jan. 1, on his till being examined, it was found to contain only 1871. 145., showing a deficiency of 3451. The prisoner, in reply to witness's inquiries upon the subject, stated that there was a deficiency to the amount named, and he was prepared to admit it. • Upon this evidence Mr. HENRY ordered the pri soner to be further remanded, BANKKUPTS.

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 dilly 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 poenam. 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 be still held both benefices, and received the profits and emoluments of the same. The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE and Dr. PHILLIMORE 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. JENNEa FusT was clearly of opinion that the articles had been sufficiently proved, and that the Court was bound to sig►n a sentvnce 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 th 4 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 usuPl 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, ha postponed the further argu ment in the case of " Geils v. Geils," which stood for this day, until Monday. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 11 , - HO US E. The Lord Mayor acknowledged the receipt of 101. 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 Trey,' (City policeman) at Nottingham, and taken into custody. Upon being told that he was wanted for a deficiency of 701., he said the amount did 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 1004 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 for seven days. . _ _ GUILDHALL. Mary Smith, Susan Reed, and Ann Robinson were brought up for further examination, charged with being concerned in robbing an old gentleman named Clare of two 51. 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. The prosecutor did not attend, and the prisoners were discharged. Sir JOHN 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 JOHN 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 not 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 Hon. 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. BOW-STREET: Charles Wheeler, banker's clerk, was brought up for further examination, charged with robbing his employers, the London Joint Stock Company, of 500/., and upwards. Mr. Alullins 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 500/. note, No. 66,704. George Fraser, a clerk in the same bank, pro duced a waste-book, to show the payment, on the 16th of July, of 20/. only to the account of Mr. Tucker. He also proved the payment into their hank, of the 500/. note, on the ltizh of July, by Messrs. Garrard and Co., silversmiths, of the Haymarket, being part of a sum then deposited and placed to the Account of that firm. WORSHIP-STREET. Sabah Hime and Susan Jones were charged with having feloniously received a gold watch, of the value of twelve guineas, and a-quantity of jewellery, the property of Mr. Ralph Hunt, a watch-implement manufacturer, in ITelmet:roW, St. Luke's. The prosecutor, who was so painfully affected that he was scarcely able to give his evidence, stated that, upon coming down stairs on the morning of Friday last, he was shocked at finding his son, a boy of four teen years, who had only recently returned from a country boarding-school, had absconded during the night, and it was almost simultaneously discovered that his mother's jewel-box, which was kept upon a chest of drawers in her bed-room, had been ran - sacked, and the most valuable part of its contents, consisting of a gold watch and several brooches, ear-rings,- and finger-rings, had been carri e d off. They were unable to obtain any tidings of their son until the evening of the following day, when he voluntarily returned home, and having been closely questioned respecting the missing property, made such disclosures as resulted in the apprehension of the prisoners. James Hunt, the prosecutor's son, after receiving an impressive caution from the magistrate, was allowed to be sworn, and stated that he had com mitted the robbery at the instigation of a lad named Henry Walker, whom he afterwards met by appoint ment in the street; and was informed by the latter that .he had made arrangements for the disposal of the booty in the Vinegar-ground, which is a noto rious locality, replete with houses , of the worst de scription, at the back of Old-street. He was then conducted by Walker to the house of the prisoner Rime, to whom they exhibited the watch, which she agreed to dispose of forthwith, and' left the room with it, but returned in a few :minutes, accompanied by the other prisoner, a third woman, and a man, the latter of whom, after examining the watch, put it into his pocket, and left the house with the intention of selling it. After he Shad left about one hour he returned, and said: that . he had sold the watch to a Jew for 2/. 15s. but - only handed two sovereigns to the witness, Who shared the money with the lad Walker, and the residue was given to the prisoner Hime for her services. Witness then produced his mother's jewellery, which was carefully inspected by the whole-party, and afterwards distributed amongst the women by their male confederate, who said that he should keep it "as his regulars," and refuse to make any allowance for it. Sergeant Brannan, of thd G division, stated that he accompanied the prosecutor and his son that morning to the house of the prisoner Rime, who. upon learn ing the object of his visit, stoutly denied all know ledge of - the transaction ; but as he was about to search the place, she made an abortive attempt to secrete a small packet, which he secured, and found it to contain a number of duplicates, one of which related to a portion of the stolen property. • The woman Hime was then conveyed to the station, and he proceeded to the house of the other prisoner, where he was refused admittance, and was compelled to force the door, up . on doing which, and accusing the prisoner,- whom he found in the company of a noto rious thief, she also denied all knowledge of the rob bery, but upon searching her pocket he found a silk handkerchief belonging to the boy's mother, and which the lad had also taken to carry away the pro perty. Mr. Henry Roberts, a pawnbroker, in Old- street, produced a pair of earrings, which were identified by the prosecutor's wife, and stated that they had been deposited at his shop on the 7th instant by the pri soner Hine, who afterwarda redeemed them, but pledged, them again upon the following day. When- called upon for their defence, both prisoners positively denied all knowledge of the watch, and said that the- other articles of jewellery had been freely given to,them - by the son of the prosecutor and his companion. Mr. HAMS ILt considered that the case had been fully established, but -ordered the prisoners to' be brought up again next week, to afford !the police an opportunity of tracing the remainder of the property. SOUTHIVARK. William Jackion, 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 101. 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 a and 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 convinced 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 be 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 'as 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. COTTINGIIAM 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 he took the prisoner to the station-house, he went to his lodgings, and found some valuable dogs, all of which he believed ►ere stolen. Mr. COTTINGHAM 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 the 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 ♦ery serious, offence. , The law relating to dog stealing had been altered, and the magistrates had the power to inflict very heavy penalties, with imprison ment, where the case was proved. It was quite clear that the prisoner was connected with a gang of dog stealers, and as he had been found in possession of a stolen dog, he should fine him 40s. or two months' imprisonment. 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 fathdr 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. This day being appointed for the examination of William Chandler and William James Laughton, alias Rippleside, on a chare of fraudulently obtaining from Captain Henry IQ S. Shrapnel, 'two bills of exchange for 2501. each, the court was much crowded. When the case was called on, a letter was handed to Mr. Norton, addressed to him by the accused Laughton, and dated from Horsemonger-lane gaol, in which the writer stated that on leaving this court, subsequent to the last examination, he was arrested by a sheriff's officer and taken to Horsemonger-lane prison, and that therefore he could not attend before his Worship agreeably to the recognizances he had entered into. To this document was attached the certificate of Mr. Keane, the governor of the gaol, of the fact of his having Laughton under his charge for debt. Mr. Binns, the solicitor who appeared on behalf of Captain Shrapnel, here stated that he had an applica tion to make to his Worship, which he had nb doubt would obviate the necessity of Laughton's upphrance. The fact, he said, was that his client, Captain Shrapnel, BIRTHS. On the 9th inst., at Church , street, Mold, the wife of W. Williams, Esq., M.D., of a daughter.

Mr. Games, on behalf of the accused Chandler, hoped his Worship would not insist on the personal attendance of his client in discharge of his recogni zances, particularly as the charge alleged against him had been withdrawn.. Mr. NORTON replied that, under the circumstances, he did not think the personal appearance of Chan dler absolutely necessary, and therefore should not insist upon it. Mr. Binns here applied for the restoration to his client, by the constables who took the prisoners, of one of the bills for 2501., accepted by Captain Shrap nel, and found on Chandler, and the application was granted. - At this moment Mr. Taylor, a solicitor, rose and requested Mr. Norton would oblige the prisoner Chandler to appear before him, as he had a charge to prefer against him and Laughton of having fraudu lently obtained two bills of exchange for 501. from a gentleman then present. Mr. Games opposed the application on the ground of it being out of time. Mr. Taylor said his client had seen by the news papers that the prisoners had been held to bail to appear there on that day, and had therefore attended to make his charge. Mr. Games replied that the prisoner was held to bail merely to attend and meet a particular charge, namely, that of Captain Shrapnel, and that having been disposed of, his client was not bound to attend. After some further argument on the point between the Learned Gentlemen, Mr. Norton determined on hearing a statement of the accusation in the absence of the prisoners. Mr. Preston, a tall, elderly gentleman, then stated that in, the early part of June last, a person named Morton, whose name had been mentioned in the course of this inquiry, introduced himself to him in the street, said he had seen him in the company of a gentle man, whose name he mentioned, and asked him if he was in want of money, for if so ha could procure it for him upon his bills. Some conversation and cor respondence took place between him, Mr. Preston, and Morton on the subject; and soon after Chandler called upon him, with a note which he (witness) had ad dressed to Morton, said he had called upon that per son, and requested h e wou ld g i ve hi s bill f or ,00 1 ., and he should have the cash for it. He (Mr. Preston) believing the parties to be honourable and respectable, gave Chandler his bill for 100/., arid he took it away. Some days after the man Laughton called upon him at the request, he said, of Chandler, • and said that if he gave two bills of 501. each in lieu of the 1001., they would be much more convenient, and the cash should be got for them. With this request he also complied, and though he had never received one farthing for either of his 501. bills, he was at present being sued for the amount of one of them by a person who described himself as a shipchandler, at Wapping. The second bill he had heard nothing whatever of. Mr. Games submitted that, if even Chandler and Laughton were present, and the statement just made fully proved in evidence, it would not amount to anything beyond a breach of trust. Mr. Taylor argued contra, but Mr. NORTON was of ,opinion that there would be no use to proceed with such a case, as a conviction would not follow. He considered it high time that a special enactment was passed to meet this class of cases, and hoped that the publicity given to the proceedings in the pr esen t case would tend to place persons on their guard against placing bills, to a considerable amount, in the hands of persons not worth a shilling. In the present case, duplicates were found on the parties charged for articles pledged - for small sums ; and this proved that they were persons in straitened means, and not likely to discount bills to a large amount. Jessey, and another officer who apprehended Chandler and Laughton, said they had in their pos session a number o f bills of exchange, which they found on ••them, and requested to know what they should do with them. Mr. Taylor requested that he might be allowed to examine the bills alluded to by the constables, as in all probability his client's might be amongst them. This permission was granted, when amongst the bundle produced was one of the 501., accepted by Mr. Preston ; and Mr. Taylor requested that it might be given up to his client. Mr. Games objected to this, but said he had no ob jection to . its being impounded in the Court, or kept in the hands of the officer, until he had an oppor tunity of seeing Mr. Chandler. Mr. NOItTON thpught this very fair, and observed, that die had received a communication from Captain Shrapnel, in reference to his case, in which that gentleman solemnly declared that Chandler, when treating with him on the subject of obtaining discount for his twe bills of2s9.each, was fully, aware of his previous insolvency, and requested that this might be publicly stated, as the impression that had gone abroad of his having intentionally concealed the fact from Chandler, was calculated to do him (Captain Shrapnel)'`a great injustice.
