FRAN CE. ,:he following address has been presented to Louis Napoleon from the Municipal Council of Festieux, in the department of the Aisne:— " The Municipal Council of the Commune of Festicux, zousidering that by the energetic act of the 2d Decem ber, 1851, of which you have had the courage to assume 'the initiative, you have overthrown the hydra of re volutions, annihilated the anarchical party, re-esta blished order and tranquillity amongst families, con fidence in the future, industry, and religion on Vl-ir ancient foundations; taking into considera tiYl all your good actions, and the unanimous accla mations you have received in a great part of France which you have visited: expresses a wish that, in order to give a long duration to the quiet and tranquillity which our country enjoys at present, you would accept the title of Emperor of the French, of which your uncle formerly made so noble a use by elevating the French nsrae to the highest degree of glory, which you aro still called to elevate again by causing us to enjoy the advan tages of that general peace which all France desires to preserve, without, however, fearing the consequence s which your proclamation to the title of Emperor might ex. - Ate arneriest foreign powers." M. de Mesouan, deputy from the Finistere, has ived the following address from the Mayor of inner, to be presented to Louis Napoleon: — Prince,—The Municipal Council of the town of Qeimper cannot better inaugurate its installation than by presenting the tribute of its gratitude and its entire do- Yetciness to your Imperial highness. Convinced more than ever that stability in the Government can alone se cere the prosperity and happ iness of France; persuaded that your firm hand will be able to defeat bad passions .21 destroy even the roots of those associations which ich descend to crime in order to produce anarchy Council forms wishes for the preservation of your life and the consolidation of the supreme power in your hands. Under other circumstances you anticipated public 4) inien ; you ought to follow it at present by recon structing the Empire, which must fix the destinies of Funce, and insure the tranquillity of the world." GERMANY. Mr. Roney, the Secretary to the Dublin Exhibition Committee, arrived in Berlin on the 31st in stant to secure the co-operation of the prin clue' manufacturers of Prussia and the Zollverein, In the object of the undertaking. They are very well disposed, from the experience of the London Exhibi tion, to contribute to that in Dublin also; the depart ment of the Zollverein in the palace in Hyde-park v,;11 probably be reproduced in Merrion-square ; and the application is just in time, for there is every rea son to fear that in 1854 the Verien, in its present ex tent, will nob exist. The chief contributions will come from the Rhine provinces, Berlin, and Dresden. The election of the Second Chamber took place the 3d throughout the kingdom. In Berlin, the Electoral College assembled in the four districts into which the city is divided, at an early hour this morn ing. In two districts a second voting and scrutiny was necessary; but the following is the final result: — In the first district, M. von Manteuffel, President of the Cabinet, M. Kuhne, retired General Director of Taxes, and M. Bock, were elected. If M. von Manteuffel should decline the nomination, another election will be taken. In the second district, M. Riedel and M. von Patow, both Opposition candidates, were returned. In the third district the former De puties, Colonel von Prittwitz and M. Pochammer, were re-elected. In the fourth district Dr. Noth and Kuhne were nominated ; the latter will have to Acide for which district he will take his seat. In Potsdam the Conservative candidates were de feated. __ _ The King of Hanover has appointed General Hal 1-zett, Lieut.-Colonel von Mahrenholz, and Colonel I'oten, as the deputation of the Hanoverian army in the funeral ceremony of the Duke of Wellington. :general Halkett served under the late Duke as Com mander of the German Legion, which defended the pest of La Hays Sainte at Waterloo. The other two officers above named served in the Peninsula. STATE OF TRADE. (Front the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.) LONDON WOOL MARKET.—The quantity of Wool Toported into London during the week ending Thursday was 5,747 bales, of which 1,200 were from Port Phillip, 565 from Sydney, 557 from Mogadore, 856 from Gclessa, 814 from the Cape of Good Hope, 429 from Alexandria, 490 from 13omhay, and the rest from Ger many, Italy, South Australia, &c. LEEDS, Nov. s.—Tho woollen cloth market has not neon so brisk this week. The season for the fall trade is nearly over, and we now anticipate less business for a short time to come. On Saturday there was a very foggy at‘d dark morning, and there was only a poor attend au,:e of merchants in the Coloured Cloth Hall, and a limited business was the consequence; but there was mere activity in the White Cloth Market, and on the whole about an ordinary trade was done. On Tuesday there was no change of any consequence. There has been also a quieter week in the warehouses. Tbo home trade will now be nearly supplied for the present season. So:no of the shipping houses are beginning to move, and we believe are pretty brisk. HUDDERSFIELD.—A fair amount of business WAS transacted in the Cloth-hall on this day. Several buyers from Leeds and Manchester attended the mar ket, and in seasonable goods purchased freely. A good business has been done in the warehouses during the Week. ItecriDALE FLANNEL.—The flannel market continues the same as it has been for some weeks past. The (I,•mand good, and prices rather improving. There is little or no changm in wool worth reporting. Prices Lave an upward tendency. RACING FIXTURES FOR 1853.

ROLLS COURT.—Nov. 6. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) CROUCH V. HOOPER. . His Honour gave judgment in this case , which came before the court previous to tho long vacation on ex ceptions to the Master's report. The subject matter in dispute was a sum of money in court, and another large sum which had been paid out of court, amounting in the whole .to 180,0001., the property of a person named Charles Crouch, who died, while of unsound mind, in 1830. The plaintiff claimed to he one of the next of kin of the deceased, and the Mester had reported that she was not one of the next of kin. Charles Crouch, the intestate, was the son of Charles Crouch, a planter of Antigua, who sent his son to England about the year 1770, consigning him to the care of Messrs. Bodd . ington, his correspondents in London. The father died in 1773, leaving all his property to his son. in 1794 Chas. Crouch became of unsound mind, and in 1801 a commission de lunation inquirendo was issued, which declared him to have been insane since 1794. The usual advertisements were issued for the next of kin, but none claimed, and nothing further took place till 1830, when Charles Crouch died. Some time afterwards, a suit, " Cox v. Cox," was instituted in this court by persona claiming to be the next of kin, ex materna, under which a large sum had been paid out of court to the claimants in that snit. In 1847 the present plaintiff tiled her bill, claim ing as next of kin, ex paterna, alleging that Charles Crouch, the father, was the son of Thomas and Eliza beth Crouch, who resided at Purbright, in Surrey, pre vious to 1728. 1 lis Honour then entered into a minute examination . of the evidence on which the claim was founded, which ho considered failed to prove that Charles Ccouch, of Antigua, was a son of Thomas Crouch. A copy of a letter, which it was alleged had been received from Antigua, and which had been relied on as proving the relationship, he considered as not being genuine, and was in fact a fabricated document. The exceptions must be therefore overruled, and the petitioners must pay the costs. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCII.—Nov. G. - - - TIIE BARONESS VON BECK ' S CASE.-CONSTANT DERRA DE MARODA v GEORGE DAWSON AND OTHERS.--RULE NISI FOR A NEW TRIAL. P It will be recollected that this action was tried at the last assizes at Warwick before Mr. Baron Alderson, and that a nonsuit was entered, under the direction of the judge, the learned Baron being of opinion that the evi dence against the defendants was insufficient. Mr. Serjeant Miller now applied to the court for a rule to show cause why the nonsuit should not be set aside and a new trial had. The learned gentleman went at great length through the facts proved at the trial, which have already appeared in the Daily News, showing the position of the Baroness von Beck in this country, and the manner in which she became acquainted with the plaintiff. He ; then explained the circumstances under which M. Derra, de Maroda and the Baroness were introduced to the four defendants, and went on to state that, from representations made to him, Mr. Dawson, became one of the subscribers to a new work by the baroness, then about to be published, giving an account of her adventures in connexion witk the movement of Kossuth and his party in Hungary, and that he paid the amount of his subscription 11. 4s. Subsequently Mr. Dawson and the other defendants suspected the baroness was not the party she represented herself to be, and acting on that suspicion, they severally made depositions before a magistrate in Birmingham, in consequence of which (as the plaintiff alleges), malicious prosecution he and the baroness were taken from the house of one of the defendants, and locked up in a ststion-house all night, in order to be carried before the magistrate next morn ing, With the unhappy death of Madame Ton Back the public already acquainted. When the plaintiff was placed before the magistrate, the four defendants were present, and counsel appeared and made a long statement against Monsieur Derra do Maroda, charg ing him with fraudulent misrepresentation, whereby the defendant Dawson was defrauded of the sum of 11. 4s. The charge was however dismissed, whereupon an action for malicious prosecution was brought by the plaintiff, and tried at Warwick, as before mentioned. At the trial the warrant by virtue of which the plaintiff was taken into custody was not produced; but th© depositions of the defendant upon which it was asserted a warrant was obtained, were before the Court. Tho manner in which these depositions were framed was so informal, that upon that ground, coupled with the non-production of the warrant Mr. Baron Alderson directed a nonsuit, considering there was not sufficient evidence to show that the defendant had sot the police court in motion. Mr Serjeant Miller, however, contended that, notwith standing the informality of the proceedings, there was sufficient to connect the defendants with the imprison ment which the plaintiff had suffered. He cited " Elsey v. Smith" (1 Dow. and Ity., 97) in support. Rule nisi granted. BAIL COURT.—Nov. 6. THE QUEEN v. THE JUDGE OF A COUNTY COURT. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. Hawkins applied on behalf of a defendant in a cai that came before too judge of a County Court. for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against the said judge for refusing to hoar the evi dence of the defendant in a cause which was tried in a County Court. It appeared that on the 2d Juno last a summons was ism(' by the judge against the present applicant and his wife, for the sum of 11/. 93. Id., the amount of a promissory note. The defendant appeared to prove that the promissory note wits made atter his marriage with his wife, and that therefore this action was erongly brought. The judge refused to hear this evidence, and made an order that the money should be paid by two instalments, one on the 12th of June, and the other on the 12th of July. The first instalment was not paid, and before the second was duo an applicatio❑ was made in the Common Pleas to the Lord Chief Jus tice for a summons calling upon the parties to show cause why a prohibition should not issue on the ground that the proceedings were irregular. On the 30th of June, before Mr. Justice Maule, the plaintiff undertook to strike out the name of the defendant's wife, and the defendant then consented to allow the order for the payment of the money to stand as against him. The in stalments were not paid, and a summons was issued nu der the 98th section of the act, calling on the defendant to attend and give a true account of his estate and effects. and to say if he could pay or not, or when he could pay. On attending upon this summons he was put into the defendant's box, and took an oath to answer truly all the questions which should bo put to him under the act. He was questioned as to whether he could then pay, and stated that he could not. Ho was going on to explain why he could not do so, when he was interrupted by the judge, who said that ho knew by his appearance and man ner that he could pay, and then he asked a female, who represented herself as the wife of the plaintiff (who was not iu court), whether she would have a commitment, The defendant did not catch her answer, but the judge said that the defendant should be committed to prison for one month, and that he should not leave the court. Mr. Justice Compton asked if Mr. Hawkins could show anything like corruption or bad motive? Mr. Hawkins begged to submit that the judge having summoned the defendant before him to show cause why he should not be committed to prison, was bound to hear the defendant explain why he had not paid the money, which explanation he (the judge) had refused to hear. Mr. Justice Crompton said they must not file criminal informations against the County Court judges to bring business to the higher courts. He would look at the affidavits. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Nov. a, GRIFFITHS V. L'ESPINASSE AND ANOTHER. The plaintiff in this case is a girl named Griffiths, 15 years of age, and by her next friend she sued the de fendants, as superiors of the Convent of Our Lady at Norwood, to recover damages in consequence of the loss of her eye, and also for general injuries to her health, alleged to have been occasioned by the ill-treatment, carelessness, and neglect of the defendants, to whose care she had been intrusted. The trial, it will be remem bered, took place at the last Surrey Assizes, whon the jury found a verdict for the defendants. Mr. Montage Chambers, Q.C., now appeared on the part of the plaintiff to move for a rule, calling upon the defendants to show cause why this verdict should not be set aside, and a now trial had upo n the g rounds—. first, that Chief Justice Jervis, who presided at the trial , had misdirected the jury; and, secondly, that the verdict was not warranted by the evidence. The declaration charged that the defendants being superiors of the con vent undertook the care of this child, but in broach of their duty they had overworked her, and set her tasks injurious to her health, and thus caused the injuries aho had sustained! The defendants pleaded not guilty, and also another plea traversing some allegations as to the mismanagement of the institution. In the year 1849 the plaintiff was placed by Cardinal Wiseman in this convent, and she continued there until January, 1852. When she went there she was in ill health, having just recovered from a fever, and being of a scrofulous habit. Until August, 1851, she was treated like the other children, and nothing particular occurred, but in that month she became seriously ill, and the medical attendant of the place, Mr. Chapman, was consulted about her , but she did not get better. Her only known relative was an aunt, and to her no communication was made of the state of the child until January, 1852, when she was acquainted with her illness, and took her to Dr. Alex- , ander. At this period she had lost the sight of one of her eyes, but after being under the ea 70 of Dr. Alex-', ander for three or four weeks, she got better, and the sight of the other eye was preserved. To enable the court to understand the case it might be necessary to state that two classes of children wore received into the institution—one class called boarders, who paid 301. a-year each ; and the other the orphanage class, for whom 121. each was paid, if their friends could afford it, and, if they could not afford it, nothing at all was paid. The learned counsel then referred to the early their lordship;' ..hours of the establishment and the bad quality of the food -, but he said that, as there was a cot,flict of evi tnadedence in thin e atn up e o . n , lh 3 e!e points, he would not pursue the mattir trial clay®, a n were gent, L. ra L li incise had unfortunately said that there Y , about 30 children ill. He would now call attention to the kind of punishments in- and to There was what was called a shieleanaceo.;.:ria.ayino in that , e poa l i a tio d n a p as , übjectea d the rigours of which class this child placed i n a room __ l '_'. : _child under this punishment was face to the wall, where she w ab a s s o c i ompe n_ ed ._ w e ttle her turn h u e te r fyo rhappeneddays in if she on th commence her task a - r the other, she was eohig l' d td days.

His view, in referring to these matters, was to s h ow the degree of mismanagement and reckless disre gard of all propriety which was shown in the conduct of the establishment, leading to the inference that the persons who had undertaken to perform these particular duties towards the children were incompetent or unwil lin,g• to do so. But, as ho had said, u p on these p oints there was a conflict of evidence, and so they might be within the proper province of the jury, and therefore he would leave this part of the case and come to an im portant point upon which there was no conflict of evi dence. It was admitted that from August, 1851, to January, 1552, this poor girl was in ill-health, and it therefore behoved the defendants to have seen that she got proper food and nourishment; but he submitted that, upon the evidence of Mr. Chapman, the medical man attending the establishment, and of the defendants, the plaintiff ought to have got the verdict, and that the judge misdirected the jury. Anethar point in the case was, that the child was stated to have thrown away her food, and if this were so, Mr. Chapman ought to have been informed of it. Ho submitted that upon this matter alone the defendants had not acted rightly, for the doctor ought to have been made acquainted with the fact. He had endeavoured in his address to the jury to show that the defendants, being aware of this malady, should have taken care not to have done anything to increase it. He had said to them, " this was a very important point, as regarded one of the issues, for if the defendants knew that she was weak and feeble, it was clearly their duty to take more cars of her, and not to do anything to in crease the malady." lie would now, however, leave the question of evidence, and consider the question which he submitted was still more clearly in his favour, the ques tion whether the Chief Justice had not misdirected the jury. He contended that ho had done so, and of this misdirection he complained The Chief Justice had told the jury " That if there had been merely an inno cent act of omitting to do something that might by pos sibility have been beneficial to the plaintiff in the con dition in which she was placed; that was not sufficient. There could be no doubt, he apprehended, that the un fortunate plaintiff was the subject of a most distressing malady in a very aggravated degree, and it was there fore very probable that what might appear for the benefit and advantage of other children might have a contrary effect on her, but the defendants were not liable for that." The jury had to try a formal and conclusive case of ill-treatment to this child, whom the defendants had undertaken to keep both in sickness and health, and to take duo and proper care of. If she had been a grown up parson of mature age, then the observations of the judge might have been correct as to her belonging to a particular creed. But he said that this child was en trusted to those persons, who were either ignorant or incompetent ; or persons who had from religious per suasions peculiar ideas. Such persons, he concluded, had no right to undertake to discharge such duties, and, whether they were ignorant or incompetent, or had pe culiar religious ideas, the same standard was to be ap plied to them as if they wore well-informed, competent, and had no peculiar ideas upon the matter. It had been said that these ladies were not like mothers possessed of tender sympathies ; but whether they did or did not possess the feelings of a mother, or whether they had tender sympathies, had nothing to do with the subject. They andertook to take proper ca re, in sickness and in health, of this child, but she became sick, and they did not do even the ordinary duties of secular persons who undertook the task for re ward. These ladies, it was said, had a higher reward than anything earthly ; but, however that might be, their duties were equally onerous, and if once their l or dships made a different rule with regard to this description of establish ments than that which applied to ordinary secular establishments, it was difficult to know how far that rule might be extended where the subject of it was a u p er of tender age, under tho care of pereons . who ought to know how to fulfil that care, and who, if they did not know, ought to bo equally responsible as if they did know. Upon the grounds, therefore, that the observa tions of the Learned Chi ef Justice tended to mislead the jury, and that good evidence of the maltreatment of this child existed whilst sho was in a sickly and dangerous state, such maltreatment leading to the loss of her eye, upon these grounds ho submitted that there ought to be a now trial. Mr. Justice Maul° said ho was of opinion that there ought to be no rule in this case. What the Chief Justice had told the jury was, not to lose sight of what was a very prominent feature of the case—that this was a reli gious establishment belonging to the Roman Catholics, and ho thought it was right that they should not lose sight of that. Persons who were not acquainted with places of this kind might say that it was absurd to have such rules as those that existed ; but if you found that what happened was iu accordance with the regular pro ccedings of the place , it did away with the imputation of any particular individual cruelty. The Chief Justice did not appear to have been laying down a rule of law to the jury, but only to be showing the bearing of a par ticular part of the evidence, namely, that this was a Roman Cathotic institution. In his opinion, there was no pretence for saying that there was any misdirection. The otkor Learned Judge concurred, and the rule was Re refused. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. M ANSION-1-1011SE.—John Gerard, who was some days since brought up before the Lord Mayor, upon the charge of having obtained iron to the amount of 3001. from tho agent of the Totnes Iron works proprietors, of Glasgow, wits finally examined upon that and other charges of a serious description. Mrs. Mary Ann Newton, housekeeper to Mr. Sizer, of Maidstone, said—The prisoner is the person who lived in u shop at Maidstone. He called at tho house and took it, and gave the name of 0. Watkins and Son. He did not go into it, but called two weeks running, and paid the rent of two weeks. A great many letters came from him, and I never saw any other Mr. Watkins there. The shop was not opened at all. One parcel came, which my master sent back to the owner. Mr. C. .L Andrews, agricultural implement maker, Reading, said, in consequenct , of the receipt of a letter signed" 0. Watkins and Son," I sent two chaff-machines, of the value of 11/. 10s. to the goods station, Paddington, to 0. Watkins and Son. Wo have never been paid for those goods. Sergeant Carpenter, of the Greenwich division of the Metropolitan Police, proved that Girard had once been tried and found guilty of picking a lady's pocket. Mr. John Goddard, foreman and book-keeper to Messrs. Whitehouse and Co., of Wednesbury, Stafford. shire, proved that in May and June last the firm re ceived letters from Maidstone, signed " 0. Watkins and Son," in consequence of which they sent goods to the amount of 881. 3s. Id., directed to them at Hamburgh Wharf. The goods conaisted of iron gas tubes and fittings. Payment had never been received. The prisoner was then committed for trial. BOW-STREET.—Mrs. Caroline Read. wife of Mr. James Read, tobacconist, of 2, Great Russell-street, Covent-garden, was charged with having attempted to administer poison to her husband. _ The prosecutor (11r. Read) stated that on Thursday evening, at about nine o'clock ho requested his wife to make him some broth, as he had been unwell for several weeks past. It N% ,kfl brought to him when ready, but ho found it extremely bitter anti unpalatable, and, conse quently, declined to take it. Owing to subsequent dis closures made to him by his servants, ho felt it his duty to bring his wife before a magistrate on the present charge. Cross-examined by Mr. Wontnor, who attended for the prisoner—We have had differences, caused by her intimacy with a Mr. Cooper, whom I have forbidden the hons©. Ho was a great friend of mind, and I admit having asked him repeatedly to take my wife to the theatre, which ho did. sta S te u d s , an th il at or o s n ell, T se u r e v s a a n a t y t i o as t t he sh p o ro s s a e w eu h to e r r m an i d str b el s s w (t i ti fe e , prisoner) put some laudanum into a black draught which ' her master had sent for from Mr. Hooper's , the chemist. She said to witness, that she was goi n g to do it in order to make master sloop better at night, and she then threw away about two spoonsful of:the draught, and dropped in the laudanum from a small phial containing about a penny-worth. Witness told Frederick Wright, a follow servant, what bis mistress had done, and she went to the druggist's to get another draught, which he changed for the bottle which Mrs. Read had put aside for her hus band. Witness had often hoard her mistress express a wish that Mr. Read was dead. The other day she said to witness, " He must bo as hard as iron, or ho would have been dead before this time." The prisoner—That must have been said, then, in reference to his drinking habits. This is a most cruel, wicked charge. The ease was postponed a short time to get the con tents of the bottle analyzed; but West, the Of re ported that he could not get it done, at King's Cullege, before Monday. At the resumed hearing of the case, Susan Horsell made some additions to her evidence. She stated that she had heard her mistress express a wish that she could " slow poison" her waster. Mr Wontner cross examined the witness with the view of showing that her additional evidence was an after thought. She denied that her master was given to drinking. Frederick Wright said that ho was in the service of Mr. Read. Owing to what Susan Horsoll told him about t h e f draught, or the o n eh which h w i e e n h t h a i nd sm p i u s t r r e e h s a s s h e ( e a i d t i t ) o u t t h o e, u r t h o dr h i s a changed it for the one which his mistresS had put out for his mis same which tor. He sealed the bottle, and it was thp had been given to the police. When master complained of the broth on Thursday evening, witne as told him not to touch it, and referred him to Susan for an e hadxplanation uent of what he meant. Mr and Mrs Read freq quarrels, and witness had often heard thss prisoner say " that she wished him dead," and that " she would give a good sum of money to any one that would bring her his corpse." The pliioner—lt is false to say she has often seen me sponge his bed to ra: ike it damp. Mr. Read—And I have constantly fort: havey sheets so. Susan says that damp, and am suffering from it now.

He said, "I have my reasons," but h 3 did not tell there. When he had gone off to business the, prisoner came into the shop and said to witness " What() vor will Mr. Cooper I think ? Read has written , to him to Wald him the house. I must go awl see him," and she went out appu reutly for that purpose. Mr. Henry--What beeca►e of the broth ? When you heard your master complain of its bitterness, did you not suggPst that it should be kept and ItrialystA. Witness—No. I did not. I know it was thrown away. Mr. Henry—lt is clear that no charge can be sustained in respect to the broth, because it was not tested. Ido not believe that a jury could convict the prisoner on this evidence. The expressions deposed to may have been used in anger, without a guilty intention ; and with re spect to the draught, although it had not been analysed, it was admitted on all hands that the quantity of lauda num put into it was very small. A long discussion then took place between the solici tors and the parties concerned, respecting the terms of a separation. Mr. Read proposed to allow his wife 15s. per week, and keep their only child himself ; but the wife said that his income was very good, and he could allow her more, He had 1501. per annum and perqui sites from a mercantile situation, besides the profits of his business, for the goodwill of which ho gave 200 guineas, and he had money in the bank. Mr. Henry considered the allowance sufficient, as she could do something for herself. The prisoner then demanded her own plate and jewel : lery, but the husband refused to deliver op anything, ex , cept her clothes and some bed-linen, With this wider ; standing, the case wits disposed of. SOUTHWARK —Robert Dunn, barrister-at-law, was brought up in custody, and placed in the felons' dock, charted with obtaining 71. from William Daley, a poor Irish tailor, residing at No. CI, Great Guildford-street, Southwark, under fraudulent and false pretences. Th e prosecutor said, that about two months ago the prisoner was recommended to him as a barrister-at-law, who was able to see to a case of his wife's in Chancery. The prisoner said he would look iato it, and he then handed him a sovereign to do so. He c ime to him afterwards and said—" Mr. Daley, the case is all right, and you have a legal claim on the property; if you hand me 5/, I will put the bill on the file, and you will soon be a rich man." Witness than borrowed 51., and gave it to him. Some time afterwards, be borrowed another so vereign, which made 7/. altogether. After that ho got him to put his name to a bill of exchange for 351., but fortunately Mr. Dunn spelt his name wrong, and ren dered the bill useless. ._ . vv Thomas Hart, 2, Downes-buildings, gardener, said he lent the prosecutor rd., and saw him hand it to Mr: Dann, on the 21st of September last. The latter promised to revive a bill of Mrs. Daley's father in Cnancory, and put it on the file on the 2d of November. Mr. Dunn hero wished to give an explanation of the whole transaction to the magistrate. He said that two months and a half ago he met Daley, Hart, and his bro ther in the street. The latter, whom ho know, told him that Daley was entitled to extensive property iu Chan. eery, and wanted him to carry it on. Ho told them ho could not speak to them in the street, but they must call upon him at his house. They accordingly called on him, when Mr. Daley told him his wife was heir-at-law to a Mr. Wood, who filed a hill in Chancery, in 1830, respecting some property in Cornwall and Devonshire. He examined the records, after considerable trouble and expense, when h o found that the son of Mrs. Daley's eldest brother was alive, and that she had no claim. As for the bill, he took that as security for the attorney ; but, finding Mr. Daley had no claim, be did not accept it. It was now useless. Mr. Corrie said that there could be no pretence for charging Mr. Dunn with a false pretence. It was clear he had done considerable labour for Daley, which entitled him to the money he had received. Nothing could be fairer than the manner in which Mr. Dunn had acted with the bill of exchange; therefore, under all the cir cumstances, ho should discharge him from custody. Mr. Dunn was then discharged, vowing that the pro• secutor was an honest man after all. Caledonia, and launched at Chatham in 1827. her burden in tons is 2,61 G.

Our correspondent says:—" The slave trade is entirely relinquished in the Bights, and is not likely to be renewed, if the simple precaution of sending consuls to reside in the countries with the chiefs of which we have treaties be adopted." Iler Majesty's steamer Prometheus has bad a number of cases of slight fever. The Admiral had dent her to St. Helena, and the officers and men are now quite well One of her lieutenants, Mr. A. R. Fox, died of apoplexy on the passage from that island to Ascension: he was buried at the lattqr place. The squadron was thus distributed at the date of our advices On the South-coast.--The Harlequin, 12, Commander Wilmot; Volcano, 5, steamsloop, Commander Coot(); Firefly, 3, steamvessel, Commander Seymour; Water witch, 8, Commander A.

AN UNSEAWORTHY SnlP.—The emigrant ship Heroine, of London, burden 800 tons, is now on White's Camber slip, in Portsmouth, undergoing a through overhaul. In her we have another illustration of the perils and dan gers which beset emigrants. She left London about a month ago, bound for Port Philip, Australia, with about twenty passengers on board, and laden with a general cargo, part of which was a large quaatity of bricks. She had not been long at sea before she was found to be leaky, and to such a degree that it was im. possible for her to continue her voyage in safety. She accordingly put in at Portsmouth, having at the time nine inches of water in tho hold, and making five and a-half inches more per hour. A survey was hold upon her by the surveyors to Lloyd's, the result of which was the discovery that her caulking had been done in a most in efficient manner, indeed, it may with considerable truth be averred, she had not been caulked at all. had this leaky state not well developed itself before the Heroine had got into mid-ocean, it is easy to imagine what would have been the consequence. A SAILORS' HOME AT CORK,—Wo understand that a sailors' home, en a liberal and extensive scale, is being established in Cork, a port that in point of consequence as one of call for orders from London, Liverpool, Glee gow, &c ,is fast growing into considerable extent. At this moment there are over 250 vessels at the anchorage, and we understand that nearly 50,000 British seamen entered that port within the year ending the Ist of last October. Wo are glad to learn that those noble institu- tion3 havo at length obtained the serious attention of Government, and aro shortly to bo submitted to both Llousea of Parliament. THE ARMY. Tho 21 battalion of the Royal Regiment, stationed in Cork, under command of Liout.-Colonol George 8011, has revolved a letter of readiness to prepare for embark ation ab'iut the end of next mouth—destination Corfu. The 3lst Regiment, stationed at Formoy undor Lieut.-Colonel George Staunton ; the (48th Regiment, stationed at Newport, S.W., undor Lieut.-Colonel llon. Alexander Dilzell ; the 57th Regiment, stationed in Cork, under Lieut.-Colonel Thomas Leigh Goldie, and the 71st Highland Regiment, stationed at Kilkenny, under Lieut.• Colonel William Denny, aro also under orders for the tame station.

The 31st returned from Bengal on the Gat of December, 1846; the 48th from Jamaica, in March, 1847 ; the 57th from Madras, on the 28th of September, 1846 ; and tho 71st from 13at badoes, on the 25th of January, 1847. PALL OF A RAILWAY EMBANKMENT. An neck dent occurred on Friday evening by the falling in of s portion of an embankment on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, by which three men have lost their lives. Their names aro Joseph Beesley, car politer; and William Rugg and John Camp, excavators. A large engine shed is in the course of erection on the side of the railway west of Sheffield, about three quarters of a mile from the station, and the men had been en gaged for the last few days in making the necessary preparations for laying the foundations of the wall which was to run along the side of the railway. The line at this point runs upon au embankment about 20 feet high; and to render the foundations quite secure, a trench has been dug in the side of the embankment to a depth of about 35 feet below the level of the rails. On Friday afternoon the sides of the excavation suddenly gave way soon after four o'clock, burying the three men above named, who were at work in it. A fourth man, named Sutton, had a narrow escape. A moment previous he observed the sides giving way, and after alarming his companions, was making his way out. He succeeded in getting so far out of the trench as to escape injury, but the other men who were below him, were overwhelmed by the falling earth ere they could escape. All idea of rescuing the men alive was deemed hopeless, as they wore buried under at least 20 feet depth of earth, any attempt to remove which, in the then state of the sup porters of the sides of the trench, would have brought t he whole of the embankment upon them. Since then, however, the supporters have been replaced, and the bodies of the men removed. ENCUMBERED ESTATES IN IRELAND.—On Friday in the Encumbered Estates Court, half a dozon proper ties were put sip for sale and rapidly disposed of, the gross sum realized by the day's sale being 50,145/. Be tween the 15th October, 1849, and the Ist July, 1852, no loss than 2,389 petitions had been lodged, being an average of 70 for e s ac ooW monof which th. The produce of th wore the e sales amou nted to 7,21,., ,318/. produce of private sales. The produce of sales distri buted among the different provinces amounted in Loin ster, to 1,969,0001.; in Munster, 2,493,0001.; in Ulster, 1,261,000/4 In Connaught, 1,491,000/., in round num bers. The gross annual rental of the lots sold was 520,000/ ; the number of acres. 1,293,573, of which 403,000 were bought by 114 English and Sootch pur chasers, being the contents of 95 different estates, sold in separate lots. The purchase money of those lots amounted to 1,100,000/. Of the 114 purchasers set down as English and Scotch, eight were Sootoh, the remaimler being Englishmen, with the exception of one America". A very interesting table is that which shows the amount of purchase money invested by each of the 2,455 purchasers. Of purchasers under 1,000/., there were 1,040, of whom 24 wore English or Scotch; from 1,000/, to 2,000/., 447 purchasers, of whom 18 wore Eng lish or Scotch; from 2,000/. to 5,000/., 549 purchasers, of whom 26 were English or Scotch; from 5,0001. to 10,000/, 314 purchasers, of whom 21 wore English or Scotch; from 10,0001. to 20,000/., 83 purchasers, of whom 13 were English or Scotch; at 20,0001. and up wards, 22 purchasers, of whom 12 were English or Scotch; showing an increase in the proportion of English and Scotch purchasers as the amount of purchase money increased. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE ISIS.— A distressing and fatal accident occurred on the Isis, on the afternoon of Friday last, by which a young gentle man, just in the prime of life, met with a watery grave. From the evidence adduced at the inquest before G. V. Cox, Esq., M.A., coroner for the University of Oxford, on Saturday morning, it appeared that three undergra duate members of Jesus College, Oxford, viz., Messrs William Llewellyn Howe, R. Kendall, and L. Morris, hired a boat called a " dingy," and rowed down the Isis to Abingdon; on their return, and just after passing Sandford, the wind began to freshen, when they resolved to hoist the sail, and while in the act of doing this Mr Howe overbalanced himself and fell in the water; th e sudden movement caused the dingy to sink, tied his two friends had to swim for their lives. The body of the deceased was found in about an hour afterwards, and conveyed to the public-house at Sandford, where the in quest was held, and in accordance with the evidence a v, rdict of " accidentally drowned" was returned. Th e deceased had been at college about twelvemonth. fh e was a native of Cardiff, and has left a widowed mother, childless, to lament his untimely end. EXPORTATION OF SPEClE. — ThoCustora-house account of the shipment of specie and bullion direct from the port G of London during the week ending,s Thursday last, is as follows :—Gold coin: to Hamburg h, oun c o cs ns. ; c ; St. Potorsburgb , 4,200 ounces; to Belgium, 850 ounces. Geld bars: to Hamburgh, 6,600 ounces. 4,000 5il ounces; to to Calais, 70,000 ounces; to to Belgium, 2,000 ounces. Silver Hamburgh,bars: to Calais, 12,000 ounces. This gives a tot a l of 40,270 ounces of gold, and 88,000 ounces of silver, of the aggregate value of about 178,0001. The other shipments include only 17,000/,, in half imperials, by the Ranger, for St. Peters burgh, and 19,1651. by the O r i noco , t or the West Indies. The total exports from the kingdom for the week are thus raised to about 214,0001., and there is, conseq uently, a balance of imports over exports of some 630,0001., being a very largo difference.
