CHERUBINI Was accustomed to compose frequently when surrounded by friends. If his ideas did not flow quite so freely as he could wish, he would borrow a pack of cards from any one who chanced to possess it, and draw caricatures of faces and heads within the pips which were redolent of all kinds of humorous devices, for ho was quite as facile with his pencil as his pen, though history has now emblazoned his name as enrolled among the " honoured few" in that art in which he so pre eminently shone. He would then indulge in sometimes quiet and subdued smiles, at others in boisterous and merry peals of laughter, which rarely failed to bestow on his mind the imagination necessary to accomplish the design on which he was engaged. Imagination was indeed all that was needful to this great musician, for he was one of the greatest theorists and contrapuntists the cause of music ever boasted. DOMENICO SCARLATTI. It is well known that Thomas Roseingrave first in troduced to a British public the works of the great pianofore writer Scarlatti. Roseingrave was very ec centric, and was the organist of St. George's, Hanover square. His father was Daniel Roseingrave, the organist of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin. His description of the emotion he experienced on first hearing Domenico Scarlatti perform on the harpsichord is as curious and interesting as his mode of relating it was amusing. Making a short stay at Venice on his way to Rome, be received an invitation as a stranger and a cognoscen to, to a concert at the palazzo of a noble. In due time he was invited to sit down at the harpsichord and oblige the company with an extemporaneous performance as a specimen della virtu of his musical abilities. " Feeling," as he afterwards said, " rather in better courage and finger than usual, I exerted myself, and imagined by the applause I received, that my performance had made some impression on the company." The guests were then treated to a cantata which was sung by a pupil of Gasparini, and after that a solemn and grave-looking young man, dressed "in robes of midnight hue," with a sable wig to match, and who had stood silently in one corner of the room, very quietly and attentive, when Roseingrave pl a y e d, was i nvite d to s i t d own to the harp sichord. When the stranger began to play Roseingrave used to narrate in a manner so comic as scarcely to be described,—" I thought at least ten hundred devils had been at the instrument, for I had never heard such pas sages of execution or such novel effects before. His per formance so far surpassed mine, and every degree of perfection at which I had thought it possible I should ever arrive, that if I had been within reach of any in strument with which I could have committed the deed, I verily believe I should have cut off my fingers." To his inquiry as to the name of this miraculous performer, (for his time, let it be understood, however,) he received the reply, " Domenico Scarlatti." He was the son of the celebrated Scarlatti; and Roseingrave was wont to asse verate that he did not after this display tau& his instru ment for a month. • JARNO WICK Being on one occasion in the bureau of Bailleux, the music seller, or as the foolish Parisians lay, t Editeur de Musique," accidentally broke a pane of gess. The keen, avaricious eyes of Bailleux twinkled in a moment, pro ducing a corresponding twitch on both sides of his mouth. " Those who break windows must pay for them 1" exclaimed he.. "Right !" replied Jarnowick, " right ! What is the damage?" " Thirty sous 1" " Well then ! there's a three-franc piece." " I have no change, Monsieur ! "Oh never mind," rejoined the imperturbable Jarnowick, at the same time dashing his cane through a second square, " there now, we are quits,' MUSIC OF NATURE. Among the Javanese there exists a tradition which relates, that their first idea of music arose from the cir cumstance of one of their ancestors having heard the air make a melodial sound as it passed through the hollow of a bamboo, tube which happened to be hanging acciden tally from a tree. It induced him to imitate it. Thus, perhaps, may be derived the fable that music descended from heaven. They have a very curious species of mlian instrument formed of bamboo, very common to some of the Australasian isles, which emits as well some very fine tones as elicits some most discordant notes. HANDEL'S RIVAL. Sarah Duchess of Marlborough (vide . her Private Cor respondence, published in 1838) made in her private jour nal the following entry: " 1737—1 am in pursuit of get ting the finest piece of music that ever was heard ; it is a thing that will play eight tunes. Handel and all the great musicians say it is beyond anything they can do, and this may be performed by the most ignorant person. And when you are weary of those eight tunes, you may have them changed for any other you like. This I think much better than going to an Italian opera or to an assembly. This performance has been lately put into a lottery, and all the Royal Family chose to have a great many tickets rather than to buy it, the price being, I think, ONE THOUSAND POUNDS, infinitely less than some bishoprics have been sold fur (1:), and a gentleman won it who, I am in hopes, will sell it, and if he will I will buy it., for I cannot live to have another made, and I will carry it into the country with me." In honest faith the grinder of this delectable instrument, " which plays eight tunes," might have been in time no unformidablo rival of the " modern Briareus," as Pope called him—Handel!— if the hydra headed monster Fashion had folloried in the same wake as Sarah Duchess of Marlborough. HAYDN IA short time subsequent to his return to Vienna met Prince Lobkowitz, the❑ as well recognized as a great protector of music and patron of its votaries, as a theo retician and practical virtuo,o of no mean order. " Why have you never written an instrumental quintett?" he in quired of Haydn. To this the.great-souled German re • plied that he had never fur one instant dreamed of such a thing till he had heard Mozart's celebrated quintetts, and that he found those so sublime and perfect that he could not presume to put himself, as it were, in competi tion with so illustrious a composer. " Well, then," re turned the Prince, " do not think of that; write me one, and you shall have no cause of which to complain!" Urged in this manner, Haydn set strenuously to work, and in a short time laid his manuscript before the Prince. Running his eye over the first page, he beheld a score of five lines, but of which the fourth was vacant of notes. He took no notice of this at first, imagining that Haydn, in common with some other composers, had commenced the quintett in four parts, intending to add the fifth at some other time; but no! on inspecting the whole mane• script he found the same line empty throughout. Turn ing to the smiling composer be exclaimed," How is this, my dear Haydn? You appear to have forgotten the fifth part." "Oh no! your Highness," was the reply of Haydn, " I have left it for you to fill up; you will do it better than I can." As cunning and eourtierlike a reply as ever emanated from the soldiotlike flattery of a Richelieu or the more delicate and subtle brain of a Machiavelli. In the Hull Packet of last week, there is a report of a case tried at the C 'Linty Courts, Hull, on the 2 tat of October, in which Thomas Dixon, cook and seaman, sought to recover 9/. 3 from Mr. William Brown, being wages due to him had he been allowed to go the voyage in the St - enter. The plaintiff detailed ull the circum stances connected with the putting back of the ship into Grimsby Roads, and swore most distinctly that he offered to the master to proceed with the ship, provided he would have her properly repaired and surveyed, so that it might be proved that she was in a seaworthy condi tion. o,her seamen were called in corroboration. After a brief absence, the jury came into court, having made a calculation of what was due to the plaintiff, but before giving in the verdict they asked the Judge if they re turned a verdict for the plaintiff, whether or not it would affect the sea-worthiness of the vessel ? On being told that it would, the foreman said they would return a ver dict for the defendant, but, at the same time recommended him to make some allowance to the plaintiff for the time he had been employed on board the vessel. Was this jury composed o' Irish, and of the proscribed creed? IRISH FISHERIES.—BENEFIT S OF CURING STA TIONS.—We have heard from one of the curing stations, Killyberrs, where they have a considerable quantity of dried fish cured in the most superior style—that the prospects are most cheering. In one week of the early part of last month 300 barrels of fish were cured; and during the last week 30,000 fish were caught and cured at this one station. What a proof this is of what may be done by perseverance. These fish-curing stations are admirable model schools for the neighbouring fishermen. The Parliamentary reports now before us show how pro fitably these curing establishments have been conducted. There really is no more legitimate —no more safe field for speculation in Ireland; and we are truly gratified to learn that the efforts of the Board of Works, as fishery commissioners, have induced enterprising individuals to enter into this most profitable trade.—The Advocate (a new Dublin paper). _ PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.—On Wednesday morning the guards upon the nine o'clock train observed, on run ning up the platform to the North-Western station at Eu,ton-square, a man walking up the line, and imme diately put on the breaks with great force, so as mate rially to reduce the speed of the train. The first carriage, however, struck the man violently across the loins, and hurled him sixteen feet from the spot. He fell between the rails, and the train passed over him; but, beyond some severe bruises, he was unhurt. The man, whose name is Hebert, says he was quite aware of his dreadful position the moment he fell; and that he knew if he escaped death by the carriages that he should be safe, unless the train were propelled by an engine in the rear; e t nd in this horrible uncertainty he lay crouched up, awaiting his fate, till aroused to a knowledge of his safety by the astonished bystanders. SUICIDE FROM THE DAHLIA, RIVER STEAM-BOAT.— Mr. Bedford held an inquest on Wednesday, at the West minster Hospital, on the body of Jane Brett, aged 64, of No. 14, Red Lion-street. The deceased, it appeared, had for some time been out of hor mind, and having attempted to hang herself a short time ago, her family othwater. twice closely watched her.

The following appeared in the Moniteur : " Subsequently to th e ques ti ons a dd resse d t o t h e Cabinet, relative to the banquet of Toulouse, two in quiries had been ordered, one of an administrative na tare, confided to a cou nc ill or o f t h e pre f ecture, and the other of a judicial character, conducted by a judge of instruction. 131 witnesses were examined in the first, and 5 . 7in th e secon d. Th ose i nqu i r i es gave the following results :—The democratic ban quet of the 22d September had been originally organized with a violent and culpable intention, which appeared to have been modified when the authorities consented to be present at it. It would be wrong, moreover, to suppose that the ideas of the founders were shared b y a ll t h e guests. In accepting the invitation made to him, the prefect expected that his presence would re s t ra i n t h e malcontents and pre vent the disorder he apprehended. Th e decorations of the enclosure in which the banquet took place had been greatly exaggerated. The badges of the stewards were ma de of red wor s t e d ; t h e p ill ars were covered with red paper. Some of the guests wore red dahlias in their hats, but a greater number wore the tri-col oure d coc k a d e , an d all the flags, which surrounded the bust of liberty, and waved at the extremity of the pillars, bore the national colours. The two toasts to the National Assembly and to the Chief of the Executive Power were interrupted by insulting murmurs and cries, proceeding from one p o i n t o f t h e h all, but which were immediately repressed. The authorities were saluted with respect when they retired. They were absent, when a column of about 1,000 persons, w h o had not all participated in the banquet, began to tra verse the streets of Toulouse, preceded by the sappers and drummers of the National Guard. During the to mult uhus promenade,violent cri es di rec t e d aga i nst a por tion of the population of Toulouse were uttered. A few infamous cries were also heard. It is to be wondered that no attempt was made by the authorities to arrest the progress of those manifestations, w hi c h t erm i na t e d of themselves. It is exceedingly regrettable that the representatives of the Government should have taken part in a reunion from which they could not abso lutely exclude the spirit of disorder, and thus have placed themselves in the impossibility of preventing the tumultuous scenes of the evening. The difference which subsequently arose between the prefect and the Council General of Upper Garonne was the conse quence of it. The good intentions of the prefect cannot be questioned ; but it was to be feared that he could not retain in the department the high i n fl uence and the moral authority of which the Government stands in more need than ever. Those reasons h ave induced the Government to utilize elsewhere the tried zeal o f th a t functionary and his incontestable devotedne s s t o th e Republic, by removing him to the prefecture of the Vendee. The .7lfoniteur publishes the returns of the corn trade, in th e diff eren t markets of France, during the two first weeks o f October, from which it appears that the hectolitre of wheat sold o n an aver age at Toulouse, Gr a y, Lyons, and Marseilles, for 17f. 7c. ; at Marans and Bordeaux, 15f. 18c. ; at St. Laurent and Le Grand Lemps, 16f. 40c. ; at Mulhausen and Strasburg, 16f. 12c. ; at Bergues, Arras, Roye, Suissons, Paris, and Rouen, 15f. 99c. ; at Saumur and Nantes, 14f. 47c ; at Metz, Verdun, and Char leville, 13f. 39c.; at St. Lo, Paimpol, Quimper, and Hennehon ' 15f. 85c. A popular banquet at 11. 50c. a head, at which AI. Pierre Leroux presided, took place at Batignolles• Monceaux, under the walls of Paris, on Tuesday afternoon. It was attended by at least 1,000 opera tives, the greater number of whom reside in the neighbouring villages. Several of the National Re presentatives had been invited, but only two, MM. Pierre Leroux and Grappo, attended. The assem blage separated without the slightest confusion or disturbance. • dowed four lectureships with the profits arising from certain shares in the Oxford Canal Company, and by a deed of covenant it was provided that after the expiration of certain interests in the shares be longing to Mr. Wykeham, those shares should be transferred to the corporation of Oxford for the purposes of the endowment. IA gentleman named Ryder, who had an interest in these shares, died in 1803. His daughter and her husband, who had succeeded to his interest, died recently, and the present Earl of Har rowby, upon their deaths, having become the proper per son to make the transfer, it had been made by him pur suant to the provision of the deed; but the clerk of the canal company had refused to register it. An applica tion on the subject was then made to the Bail Court, and there being some irregularity in the transfer Mr. Justice Coleridge had advised that,the shares should be returned to the Earl of Harrowby, and that he should agai❑ transfer them to the corporation. This had accordingly been done, but the clerk of the canal company having again refused to register the transfer, on the ground that the matter had been asleep so long that it required the interference of the Court of Chancery, the present ap lication had become necessary. Lord DENMAN—What has been done with the divi dends? Mr. Sergeant MANNING —They have been paid regu. larly.—Rule granted. BAIL COURT, Nov. 2. (Sittings in Banco.) Mr. Justice Pattison took his seat on the Bench about a quarter before two e'clock,;when he disposed of several motions of an ordinary and uninteresting character. THE QUEEN •. THE LONDON AND SOUTH - WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. M. D. Hill moved for a rule to show cause why the rule obtained by the prosecutor in this case on the 11th of May should not be discharged —why the writ of mandamus issued in pursuance thereof, dated the 12th of June, should not be quashed—and why all further pro ceedings thereon should not be stayed. It appeared that a partnership existed between three persons of the names of Browne, Ward, and Dunne. They wore the lessees of certain premises included in a schedule of an Act of Parliament obtained by the London and South-Western Railway Company, who gave them the usual notice requiring possession of such premises, The partners were at first desirous that the question should be determined by arbitration, as was au thorised by the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, and accordingly served a notice upon the railway company to appoint an arbitrator without delay. Subsequently the attorney to two of the partners, Messrs. Browne and Warde, served the company with the usual notice requiring them to cause the sheriff to issue his precept for the summoning of a jury to determine the value of the property in question. The company having omitted to comply with this notice, submitted to the writ of man damus being made absolute from the b lief that the at torney had been instructed by the whole of the partner ship. The writ accordingly issued, and the company would be in contempt this day if they did not make a return to it, or obtain the rule now sought for. The facts stated in the affidavit upon which the, present ap ph,-..,ation was made, were to the effect that Mr. Dunne, one of the partners, had been kept in perfect ignorance of this transaction, and was not a party to the proceed ings taken by the other members of the firm; that he kept a solicitor to transact his own special busine,s; and that he was always desirous that this matter should be settled by arbitration. He therefore served a notice upon the company that he was no consenting party to any proceeding for the summoning of a jury, as was re quired of them by the former no:ice. tinier these cir cumstances, the company were prevented from comply ing with the writ of mandamus, inasmuch as the jury would have no power to entertain the question unless each member of the firm was a consenting party, the property in question being partnership property. Application granted. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 2. i r Lord Chief Baron Pollock, Mr. Baron Park, Mr. Baron Alderson, and Mr. Baron Rolfe took their seats upon the bench at quarter to two o'clock. REEDY V. THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. This action, which was brought to recover compensa tion for loss of life occasioned by an accident on the Leeds and Dewsbury line, was tried before Mr. Justice Cresswell at the last Yorkshire assizes, and a verdict found for the plaintiff. Mr. KNOWLES, with the leave of the Learned Judge who tried the case, moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be entered for the defendant, or why a nonsuit should not be entered, on the grouad that the company were not the responsible parties for the injury sustained by the accident. The COURT granted a rule. BOOMIET V. PURDAY. This was an action for an alleged infringement of the copyright of ten airs in La Sonnambula, which was tried before the Lord Chief Baron at the last Middlesex Sit tings. The plaintiff was the assignee of the composer of the airs, who was a foreigner. This Court decided lately in a case of " Chappell v. Purdy," that a foreigner who publishes a work abroad before he publishes it here can have no copyright here. One of the airs in question was published contemporaneously in London and Paris. The other nine were published in Milan a few hours be fore they were published here. The question then was, could the plaintiff maintain his action in respect of either? The Lord Chief Baron ruled against the plaintiff at the trial. The Court, thinking that the question, whether the lapse of a few hours between the publication at Milan and the publication in London brought the case strictly within the principle of their recent decision, was one worthy of consideration, granted a rule nisi. ARCHES' COURT, Nov. 2. (Before Sir 11. JENNER FusT.) This being the first day of term, the civilians and proctors, with the Court, according to usual custom, heard prayers before the opening of the Court. SIMMONS U. SIM3IONS. This was an appeal from the Consistory C curt. Dr. Lushington, in the Easter Term, 1547, gave an elaborate judgment, and decided that neither cruelty nor adultery had been legally proved; that therefore the wire must return to cohabit with her husband, and that each party must pay their own costs. The wife now appealed to this Court against the judg ment of the Consistory Court. Dr. ADDAMS was heard at great length in favour of the husband, contending that neither cruelty nor adultery had been committed. Dr. PHILLIMORE addressed the Court in reply, in be half of Mrs. Simmons. He contended on this, as on the former occasion, that adultery had been proved against the husband, and that the wile was, therefore, entitled to the relief she sought for at the hands of the Court. The case was adjourned to a future day. Dr. Bayford remains to be heard. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. _ _ _ Yesterday Prince Christophe and his companion Mare-a-Seymour, were again brought up on the charge V obtaining apartments and refreshments under false pretences. The prisoner Christophe was a short since sentenced to two months impisonment for a similar offerice,but at the expiration of that time he commenced his tricks again, and on Sunday last hired apartments at the George and Vulture, in George-yard, Lombard-street, where he and his friend Seymour , with the wife and child of the first prisoner, ran up a bill in the course of a very short time, to the amount of 44 odd. From some information Mr. Whitmarsh (the landlord of the George and Vulture Tavern) received, he made a f ew inqu i r i es which induced him to present his bill for payment, and the money not being forthcoming, he gave both of them in custody. The case was adjourned to give an opportun'ty to others who might have been victimised to come forward and prefer their charges. Sir PETER LAURIE asked if there were any other cases ? Mr. Whitmarsh said that since the last exami. nation he had made inquiries, and there were other par. ties present who had been taken in after the same fashion, Mr. Henry Needham, of the Saracen's Head, Snow hill, said, about the latter end of last August the pri soner came to the Saracen's Head and represented him self as being Prince Henry Christophe, brother to the King of Hayti, and th a t hi s l uggage was to follow. He and his wife and child remained three or four days, and ran up a bill to the amount of 41. odd. At the time he asserted that he had plenty of money in the funds, which he expected to receive, and would then pay, but his statement turned out to be entirely false. Sir PETER LAURIE asked:Mr. Whitmarsh what had become of the wife of Henry Christophe? Mr. Whit marsh replied, that after he gave her husband into cus tody, she left his house, but that he had seen her outside the court. Sir PETER LAURIE ordered her to bo brought in, upon which Henry Christophe pretended to bo in great trouble, and tried very hard to shed a few tears. On his wife (a good-looking black woman) entering the court, he at once addressed her in French, telling her ske did not know the English language. Sir PETER LAURIE (to the prisoner)—Do you under.. stand the English language?—Christophe (with great vehemence)—No, no! I do not.—(Great laughter). Sir PETER LAURIE —Can the wife speak English? Mr. Whitmarsh—They all can, as well as you or I, Sir Peter. Sir PETER LAURIE (to the male prisoner)—so, you want your wife not to speak the truth? Christophe— No, no.—(Laughter). Sir PETER LAURlE—Before proceeding further, he should like to know from the wife how long it was since they put up at an hotel in Jermyn-street, at the West end?—The wife, in very fair English, said they put up at many hotels, but did not keep their names. Sir PETER LAURIE—I dare say not. It would not be convenient. William Tracey, from the Hotel of Strangers, in Sherrard-street, said the prisoner came to h im on the 21st of October, and remained with him until the 26th. Christophe said he had just come from the St. Katha rine's Docks, and that Ins luggage was on board the ship, which could not then get in ; and also added that he was a prince, and had plenty of money in the bank, the whole of which story turned out to be a fabrication. The prisoner Seymour was often th ere w i th him. Sir P. LA.IIRIE—What bill did they run up at your place ? Witness—To the amount of 41. 103. The other prisoner, Seymour, wanted to tak e apartments, hut he - v,•iss ofreused unlesshe paid daily. A n offer was made to s , nd porter for his luggage, but he made various ex cuses, and at last he and his vvife and child were turned out. Sir P. LAURIE here asked another question of the wife, when the prisoner Christophe vehemently said to h - er in nee goyouod English, " H o ld your tongue—they will nt." George R9.!W , r11, waiter at Gerard's ILII, deposed to the prisoner hiring th e ', est b ed and sitting rooms in the house, and saying that his luggage was at the Custom-house. They remained a few days, and ran up a bill to the extent of between 61. and 74 Sir PETER LAURIE—How did they live? Witness— On the best of everything. The wine and all they called for was of first-rate quality. On one occasion. they brought another gentleman and his lady, when their chief drink was wine, and after dinner they enjoyed themselves with a first-rate dessert. Christophe—Ah, I recollect. We did not have the best wine. The 'Wife—We only called for the best ale, not for wine. Sir PETER LAURIE—Are there any more unfortunate innkeepers who have been swindled? Mr. Whitnaarsh said he believed not, although he had been round to many. Sir PETER LAURIE—I . suppose they are ashamed to come forward? Mr. Whitmarsh thought it most pro bable, as they had been so completely done. Sir PETER LAURIE observed that he was much as tonished that so many persons should suffer themselves to be so imposed upon. The Wife—We do not wish to stay in this country, only it is the money that detains us. Seymour is our ,countryman, and only arrived about three weeks ago. Sir PETE' LAURIE—WeII, we will settle that ques tion, fur here is a gentleman who will give some infor mation so as to place the public on its guard against your systematic impositions. Mr. James Dingwell Fordyce, of the firm of Reid, Irving, and Co., said that he knew nothing of the pri soner beyond what he intended stating, which was, that about twenty-five years ago, Christophe, King of Hayti, entered into a correspondence with one of their houses, and invested a large sum of money. He died a few years after, and his widow and her two daughters came came to England, and the former having taken out let ters of administration in due fbrm, the money was paid to her. Shortly after the prisoner Christophe called at the bank, when he was informed of what had been done, whereupon he became most abusive, and was eventually , turned out of the bank. He still continued his annoy ance, and at last threatened to shoot Sir John Reid, when he was given into custody; but that gentleman did not appear against him, and he was discharged. A few months after he was sent for by Alderman Gibbs, in consequence of more complaints, when ho showed him the letters of administration, and explained to him that he had no claim. The Chief Clerk said he perfectly recollected the cir cumstance of the widow of the King of Hayti coming here to take out letters of administration, as she and her daughters were introduced to him by Mr. Allen, the phi lanthropist, and it was by his advice she pursui d the course she did, and the money was paid to her in his presence. Since the prisoner was remanded, a gentle • man, who held for many years an official situation in Hayti, had called and obtained an order for seeing him at the Compter. After conversing with him that gen tleman returned and informed him (the Chief Clerk) that the King of Hayti never had a. brother, and that the prisoner himself had never been at Hayti. The fact was that the King had two sons, one whom was killed in battle, and the other died of fever. The wife here said that there wero papers at a solici tor', which would put all to rights. Mr. Whitmarsh said he had been to the party, who admitted having some papers, but was most anxious that they should be out of his possession, in consequence of the annoyance he was subjected to by the numerous n - ference to his offices. Sir PETER LAURIE said that, as that was the case, he should remand the prisoners for the production of those d.)curnents, as they might throw :some light on the matter. Christophe—Ah! the_papers—they will show who I am. Sir PETER LAURIE—You do not understand I see, (Much laughter, in which both prisoners joined.) Sir PETER LAURIE to ChriStophe—There is no doubt you are a very designing man, and this system of swindling must be put a stop to. I hope that the publi city of this case will also make innkeepers more cautious as to whom they take in, particularly after the exposure of to-day.—Remanded accordingly. BOW-STREET, EXTZNSIVIII ROBBERY OF PlCTURES.—Yesterday Susan Cook, a servant, was placed at the bar for final examination, charged with stealing about 150 pictures, the property of Mr. Richard Gale, picture-dealer, 47, High Holborn, her master, and Momas Miers, a Ger man Jew, with receiving, them, well knowing them to have been stolen. A man named Joseph Roland, carrying on business as a picture-dealer in St. Mary-axe, who attended to produce a portion of the property, and to give evidence, was also placed at the bar, charged with having pur chased pictures from the male prisoner for much less than their value. It appeared ;from the evidence, which occupied the court a considerable time, that the prisoner Miers con tracted an acquaintance with the female prisoner when she was only a short time in the prosecutor's service, and was frequently observed by the neighbours loitering about the door, and leaving the house befor e th e s h op was open for business in the morning. The prosecutor kept a picture gallery on his second floor, to which there was an entrance from the rear of the house, to which cook had always access, from which he had no reason to suspect any property had been removed, until he saw two pictures exhibited at the door of a cigar shop for sale, which induced him to inquire how they had been obtained ; and having ascertained that they had been purchased from Mien at a fair price, the stock was looked over, and the remainder of the property was missed. Information was immediately given to the po lice, and on the prosecutor accompanying the officer to the shop in St. Mary-axe, a vast quantity of pictures were discovered, respecting which the prisoner Roland gave a very equivocating account, declining to give the name of the person from whom he had obtained them, and pretending that he did not know his address, although he had dealt with him several times. The prosecutor informed him that a great number of pictures in his possession had been stolen from him, and gave him notice that he would he required to give evidence, there being persons in custody for the robbery; and on a subsequent visit he paid, the greater number of pictures had been stripped of th e frames, at the same time he admitted that he had pur chased 50 pictures at various times from Miers, (only 22 being produced), which was very different from the au. count he gave on the first occasion. Mr. HENRY having ascertained that other Portions of the property had been disposed of in other parts of t!,e town and at Birmingham, upon the appli:aition of the prosecutor, consented t) remand the prisoners, and to hold the prisoner Roland to bail, himself in the sum of 80/., and two sureties in 401. each, to answer the charge at a future clay. MARYLEBONE. ARTFUL AND EXTENSIVE SYSTE)I OF ROBBERY AT TM HOUSES OF MEDICAL GENTLEXEN.—CAUTION TO SEnTeeiTs.—Yesterday a well-dressecl young man, who gave his name Charles Copeland, was placer a t the bar before Mr. Long, charged with having stolen serious articles of plate, the property of Dr. Henry Savag e , 34, Dorset-place, Dor se t square. Sarah Ruth, tho servant, deposed that on the same morreng, between seven and eight o ' c l oc k , the prisoner came t9t'te house and inquired f or Dr. Savage. She asked him the natur e o f hi s business, telling him at the same time that her master was in bed, upon which he said that he was desirous of ascertaining it the doctor attended a Judy name d Jackson, in Portman -street, and that if he did so, she (Mrs. Jackson) was anxious to; seo him as early as poss i ble. Witness went up stairs, leaving him sitting upon a form in the hall, and on her returning through the dining-room to speak to him, agreeably to the directions of her master, wh, felt satisfied that there was something wrong, she missed from the table therein four silver spoons and a pair of silver sugar -tongs. Upon seeing the pri soner, who had removed from the form to the hall door, she immediately locked the same, taking out the key, and told him he had something in his pocket which he had stolen, when he at length produced the spoons and tongs, saying that ho was a very unfortunate man. Dr. Savage speedily came down stairs, and having sent for a policeman, the prisoner was conveyed to the station house. 1 Sanders, 221 D, brought forward the articles of plate, and they were identified as belonging to the prosecutor. The prisoner, on being asked what he had to say, admitted having had the plate in his possession, but denied that he intended to take it away. Inspector Porter said that a great number of rob beries of a similar nature, effected at the dwellings of medical gentlemen, had recently been reported at the stations of the Metropolitan Police, and he was of opinion that if a little tune were allowed,. he should b e able to get up o th er cases aga i nst the prisoner. The prison er was comm i tte d on D r . Savage's charge for trial, but will be brought up again on Thursday .. next. MARLBOROUGH-STREE F. Seserneous CHEQUES.— William Woodward . Miller, of St. Albans,. was brought up for final examination, charged with defrauding various tradesmen and publicans by means of spurious cheques. John Howard, collector to Mr. Robert Dixon, of Pro vidence-wharf Belvidere-road, said the prisoner called at the counting-house on the 11th of October, and said he was well acquainted with Mr. Dixon. He said he wanted change for a cheque of 41., and witness, be lieving his story from his respectable appearance, gave hire 41, and received a cheque which he ascertained subsequently was spurious. A clerk from the London and Westminster Bank, on which the cheque was drawn, proved that the prisoner never had any account at the bank. The prisoner declined to make any defence. Mary Ann Phillips, baker, 12, Archway-place, Hol loway, said she cashed a 5/. cheque for the prisoner on the 22d of Jaly. The cheque was spurious. William Chaplin, licensed victualler, Wells-street, Oxford -street, said, on the 21st of October the prisoner came to his bar, and said he had been requested by Mrs. Harrison, a neighbour, to ask him to cash a small cheque. The prisoner said his name was Woodward,. a miller, at St. Alban's, and h e a dd e d t h at Mr. Harrison had been working at the mill for some days. The pri soner further observed, that he had given more for a horse th an h e expecte d , an d that this had obliged him to get the small cheque cashed. The prisoner pulled out a cheque on the London and Westminster Bank, and gave it to witn ess , w i t h t h e remar k that i t was all right, and he co u ld re f er f or hi s respecta b ility to Mr. Pitt, of Great Portland -street, who was his uncle. Witness gave the prisoner 4/., and on presenting the cheque the next day he found it was spurious. He met the prisoner soon afterwards in Villiers-street, and gave him into custody. The prisoner made no defence, awl was committed I fully on all the charges. WORSHIP-STREET. ALLEGED ROBBERY BY A PORTUGUESE BARONESS.-- An elderly lady, named Mary Carlota Alves Cabral, who was stated to be a Portuguese baroness, and Maria Rosa, her servant, were placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged on suspicion of having stolen a gold w a t c h an d appendages, a silver watch, and a variety of other pro. perty, belouging to Mrs. Hester Pitman, the proprietress of a boarding establishment for distinguished foreiguers, in Filiibtu7-04Pitre, PRUSSIA. In its sitting on the 28th ult., the Assembly o f Prussia elected M. Unruh President, in the room of M. de Grabaw, resigned, by 177 votes against 170 given to M. Philipps. M. Unruh is chief of the moderate Liberal party; M. Philipps belongs to a more advanced party. M. Waldeck was elected a Vice-Presid en t, d e f e ating M. Auerswald, formerly Minister of the Interior. A letter from Berlin, of the 28th ult., says that, in the meeting of the Democratic Congress on the pre vious day, reports were presented on the progress of democracy in different parts of Germany. At Hano ver, it was stated there is only one Republican club and there are few in Hamburgh, Bremen, Holstein, and the Grand Duchy of Oldenburgh. All ti, speakers distinctly declared that the object of the clubs was the establishment of the Republic, and some added the lied Republic, which excited great applause. A deputy of Electoral Hesse said— " Citizens ! We shall have no repose until all the German Princes-shall be driven from their thrones! " This drew forth tremendous shouts of approbation. The Congress has resolved to nominate a centre c9ramittife for Republican propagandism in Ger many, and other committees charged to report on matters affecting the Republican cause. The discus sions of the Radical Members of different Parliament of Germany had commenced. A congress of National Guards is to be held at B er li n towards the middle of the present month. AUSTRIA The Vienna Gazette of the 24th ult., and the Augsburg Gazette, announce that Prince Win (Usch:,;ratz has been summoned to join the Em peror at Olmutz. The latter journal adds that an armistice had been concluded till Friday, the 27th ultimo ; but this is not credited. The aqueduct of Nussdorf at Vienna had been destroyed by the troops, andwater had failed in severa l faubourgs. Some Journals pretend that a violent discussion had arisen between Windischgratz and Jellachich, owing to the latter refusing to submit to the former's orders. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURTS, Nov. 2. (Before Sir L. SUADWELL This being the first day of Michrelmas Term, his Hcnour took hi..; seat at half past one o'clock. SITTINGS OF THE COURT. His HONOUR said he had seen the Lord Chancellor, and his Lordship hod intimated his desire that in future, whenever the House of Lords was sitting, the Courts should hold their sittin gs at Westminster; at other times at Lincoln's Inn, as usual. This announcement was received with consternation by the gentlemen of the utter bar, who had petitioned that the courts should sit at Lincoln's Inn. Mr. STUART, at the instance of a gentleman of the utter bar, inquired whether his Lordship meant that the sittings after term should be held at Westminster, while the House of Lords was sitting, His HoNorrn replied that such was his Lordship's wish. As soon ai this was generally understood to be his Lordship's decision marked signs of disapprobation were shown by the juniors, and several voices were heard to exclaim —" Why, we are worse off than before." A meeting, in the Old Hall, Lincoln's Inn, was imme diately agreed en for Saturday next, at half-past three o'clock, in order to consider the best course to be pursued. A similar announcement was made in all the courts. . Vice-Chancellor Bruce was p revente d f rom sitting from o i day. It was st a t e d th at hi s H onour was su ff er i ng f m i a cold. (Before Sir J. WIGnAM.) His Honour took his seat in the court at Westminster between one and two o'clock. There were but a few motions, turning on point of practice, which were speedily disposed of. The list of causes was called through, but none of them being ready for argument, the Court rose early. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 2. This being the first day of Michaelmas term, Lord Chid Justice Denman, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Jus tice Wightman, and Mr. Justice Erie took their seats upon the bench shortly before two o'clock. Their Lord ships were in full dress. Their Lordships immediately proceeded to hear motions. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice DENMAN, and Justices COLERIDGE, WIGHTMAN, and ERLE.) THE QUEEN V. THE MAGISTRATES OF HARWICH AND OTHERS. —THE CUSTOMS REGULATION ACT. The ATTORNEY•GENERAL moved for a rule calling upon the magistrates of the borough of Harwich and two other persons to show cause why the magistrates should not adjudicate upon an information which had been exhibited before them against the two other per sons, for not registering the arrival of vessels at the port of Harwich, pursuant to the provisions of the Bth and 9th Victoria, c. 86, called the Customs normlation Act. It appeared that two persons having neglected to register the arrival of their vessels at Harwich, infor mations wore laid against them on the 13th of July, under the Customs Regulation Act, which provides that " all penalties and forfeitures under the Act shall be sued for and recovered by action of debt, or in the name of an officer of the Customs, by information before any two justices of the peace ;" but, inasmuch as the in formations were laid before one justice only, the ma gistrates, when the parties appeared, refused to adjudi cate in the matter, on the ground that the Act provided the penalties should be recoverable only before two jus tices, and, consequently, that the informations had not been properly exhibited. The question, therefore, was, whether the provisions cited related to the hearing as well as to exhibiting the information, since the 83d sec tion of the Act merely provided that a summons should issue for the party against whom the information was exhibited to appear before two justices. He (the At torney-General) contended that the meaning of the Act was, that one magistrate could receive the information and issue the summons, and that when the party ap peared then the case must be adjudicated on by two ma gistrates. The present application was made under tho recent statute, 11th and 12th Vict., c. 44, sec. 5. The COURT granted the application. TRANSFER OF MARES—Tim QUEEN v. THE CLERK OF TIIE OXFORD CANAL COMPANY. Mr. Sergeant MANNING moved for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue to the clerk of the Oxford Canal Company, requiring him to regitltcr iu he books of the company the transfer of certain shares under the following circumstances:—ln 1778 the corpo ration of Oxford and a gentleman named Wykeham, The purport of the evidence adduced by the wit nesses was explained to the prisoners through the medium of an interpreter, who afterwards intimated to the magistrate that the friends of the lady having offered flint morning to indemnify Mrs. Yuman the full amount of her losses, it was her most anxious wish that she might be premitted to abandon the pro- secution. Mr. ARNOLD said that he could not for a moment entertain such a proposition, so the case must be pre ceeded with in the same course as any ordinary one of the like dezeription. He should order the prisoners to be remanded fur a reek, but had no abjection to accept sub stantial bail for their future appearance. The prisoners, both of whom appeared to be painfully excited, were then removed to the cells; but in the course of the afternoon the consul general of Portugal, le Commandeur Fransisco Ignacio Van Zeller, entered the court, and having tendered himself as their i•urety, his recognisance was taken in the amount of 100/. for their appearance, and they were both released from custody. SOUTHWARK. John Mahony, an Irish labourer, was brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged on suspicion with having mur dered Mary Riordan, in the parish of Halstead, Kent, Inspector Yates, M division, described that a woman eas found murdered in the parish of Halstead, Kent, in a field upon the London and Hastings road, on Wednes day, the 18th ult. She was apparently about 40 years of age, and had all the appearance of having been pre viously engaged in hop-picking. Her body was lying near the side of a ditch; and, on examination, her head, face, and shoulders exhibited one mass of bruises, the blood from which had completely saturated her clothing, and here and there on the ground were pools of blood, which, coupled with the strong fact that the turf and ground about the spot were trodden down, bore a conclusive proof that the wretched creature had had a deadly encounter with one or more parties. Close to her feet was a bundle, which was found to contain a handkerchief, a man's dirty cotton shirt with linen front, a black-handled table-knife worn down at the blade, and an old tobacco-box filled with tobacco. A large flint stone was found underneath her right arm, and from the marks thereon it is supposed that it was used by the murderer. The inspector then proceeded to detail the circumstances which gave rise to the supposition that the prisoner was the man who had perpetrated the deed, by stating that a woman, named Ann Riordan, living at No. 6, King's-row, Horselydown, had within the last few days given such information at the station-house of the R division as to lead to the be lief that the murdered woman was her own sister. Her statement with reference to that impression arose from the fact of her having read in the flue and Cry a short account of the circumstances of the murder, toge ther with a description of the deceased, and that it cor responded with her sister, who had lost some front teeth, and who left London about four months ago in company with the prisoner Mabony, and that he re turned a few days since without her, and en being ques tioned on the subject he gave such an unsatisfactory ac count about her that it was considered advisable to take him into custody. Inspector Yates added that the sup posed murdered woman's sister was then in attendance. Ann Riordan was then called forward, and, on being sworn, her statement +a as to the effect that her sister and the prisoner had been living together for some length of time, and that about four months ago they left London together, for the purpose of seeking harvest work in Kent. That since that period she (witness) had never heard from either of them, and that at the beginning of last week she happened to see an account of the murder of a woman near the village of ILlstead, in Kent, and that the description of the deceased so closely resembled that of her sister, bath in point of features and dress, that she was fully impressed with the conviction that was the murdered person. That she (witness) immediately set about making inquiries relative to the prisoner, to ascer tain whether he had been seen in town by any of his acquaintances, but found they were all equally ignorant as herself as to where either ho or her sister were; the only fact known respecting them being that they left them four weeks ago, and had not since returned. Yes terday morning, however, as the witness was walking along Tooley-street, she met the prisoner, who endea voured to avoid her; but she went up to him, and inquired whether her sister was in Loneon. He replied to the ques tion in a surly tone, saying that she was not with him. The next q estion a as, " Where did you leave her when you went into the country together!" His answer was that she left him at Croydon, three days after they quitted town together, and that he did not know where she was. In reply to further interrogations on the sub ject, the prisoner said that it was not likely witness would see her sister the next Sunday, or the next after that; and added that, in fact, he did not know where it was likely she would be seen in London again. The witness added, that the prisoner then left her; and after hearing the very unsatisfactory account he,had given of her sister, she was more than ever impressed with the belief that the unfortunate woman found murdered near Hal stead, in Kent, was her sister; and she, therefore, pro ceeded to the .station-house, and having mentioned the grounds of her suspicions against the accused, he was accordingly taken into custody. She further said, that being very poor she was not in circumstances to go down to Halstead, otherwise she would have proceeded there to identify the body of her sister, if it was she that had been murdered. A police -sergeant of the R division stated, that ho saw the body of the murdered woman the day after it was found, and thst he had an opportunity of witnessing her features, which very much resembled those of the woman who had just given her evidence. Mr. CoTTifidhAM inquired if any of the unfortunate woman's clothes were in court, as upon their production the witness Riordan would be enabled to identify them, it they belonged to her sister? Inspector Yates replied that all the murdered wonsan's garments were in the possession of the constable at Halstead. The inspector added that he considered it important to mention that when the prisoner was taken into custody, he was fol lowed by a countryman of h a own, and that on the way to the station-house, addressing the latter, the prisoner asked him in the Irish language whether Mary Riordan was buried yet or not. The policeman who had charge of the prisoner, being an Irishman himself, understood the nature of the question, and he therefore communi cated the fact to him (the inspector) when he arrived at the station-house. Mr. COTTINGLiAM, addressing the prisoner, said that at the present stage of the examination he was not called upon to say anything in reference to the charge, as the body of the woman found mur dered had not yet been identified. That the woman Riordan's description of her sister resembled that of the female who was discovered murdered in a most brutal manner in a field near Halstead, and the circum stance of her sister having left London for Kent with the prisoner, his coming back without her, and the ex traordinary account he had given when spoken to on the subject, altogether threw such a degree of suspicion upon the prisoner as to justify his being taken into custody. The prisoner, who manifested no eoncern while at the bar, said that he had nothing further to say than that he knew nothing. of a murder at Halstead until he heard it spoken of. That with respect to the woman with whom he left town to go harvesting, they parted with one another at Croydon three days after they left London, and that he had never heard of her since, but supposed she would be making her appearance again one of these days. Mr. COTTINGITAM said that he should remand the pri soner, and he at the same time directed that the clothes found upon the person of the murdered woman might be sent down for to Halstead, in order to be produced in court for the inspection of the witness (Ann Riordan), who would be iu a condition to identify them if they be longed to her sister.

Tho prosecutrix stated that the elder prisoner, who was closely connected with a noble Portuguese family, had resided in her house with her servant for the last four months, and during that period she had repeatedly missed ringo, trinkets, and other valuable property. On the preceding day she discovered that her gold watch, which she had left upon the mantelpiece in the back par lour, to which the accused lady and her servant had ac cesq, had also disappeared, and she accordingly obtained the assistance of the police, who set on foot an immediate investigation, which resulted in the apprehension of the prisoners. - Sergeant Brannan, of the U division, stated, that in consequence of information he had received, he repaired that morning to the house of the prosecutrix, and having, through an interpreter, made the prisoners acquainted with the suspicions against them, he proceeded to search their apartments. He first examined the bed-room oc cupied by the girl Ifoza, and on turning down the bed clothes discovered beneath them several pairs of stock ings, towels, and remnants of torn sheets, the whole cf which were recognised by the prosecutrix as her pro perty. He then proceeded to the sleeping apartment of the elder prisoner, and having observed her, as he en tered, in the act of secreting something under her dress, he mentioned the circumstance to Mrs. Pitman, who re quested to search her, and took from her bosom a pair of stockings, a towel. and a small pair of scissors, the first of which articles she identified as her own, and the latter was claimed by one of her servants. Witness at the same time observed so me thi ng g li tter i ng i n the prisoner's hand, and laving taken it from her, it was found to be the silver brooch, which formed part of the missing property. The prisoner, who was greatly agitated, accounted for the possession of the brooch by stating that she understood it had been picked up by her servant, from whom she had received it. The whole of the articles produced were then secured, and conveyed, with the prisoners, to the station house.
