CAPTURE OF Two MORE OF THE GANG.—During the past week two more of the parties connected with this gang hair° been apprehended under the following circumstances :—On Tuesday last an inquiry of a private character took place before some of the magis trates of the Witham division, touching these rob beries, when, from the particulars which transpired, it was considered necessaryto institute some inquiries in the neighbourhood of Fordham, near Colchester. The result of these inquiries was, that a letter was brought to light which put the police upon the right scent to some parties who had rather suddenly diappeared from Coggeshall. A special warrant was therefore obtained from the Rev. Henry Du Cane, at Witham, and placed in the bands of a police-constable, Francis Livermore, No. 150, who left Witham by the mail train at two o'clock on Wednesday morning, and proceeded direct to Liverpool, where he arrived about three o'clock the same afternoon, and having o bt a i ne d t h e assistance of two police-Officers there, he proceeded to make inquiries for the Colonist sailing-vessel, which had been lying in port there, but found that she had sailed the previous night, and was supposed to be lying about four miles down the river. He there upon procured a sailing boat and went down the river, and about six o'clock came in sight of the vessel. He at 2nce, on reaching the side of the ship got on board, and there apprehended William Payne and Thomas Whittaker, two parties well known to him, and for whom the warrant had been made out. They made no resistance on the appearance of the officer, and were at once ironed and taken back to Liverpool, where they stayed that night, and the next day were brought safely is custody to London, and from thence to Witham, were they arrived by the mail train in the evening. On the following day they were brought up for examination, before Sir John Page Wood, Bart., and the Rev. Henry Du Cane, but, in order to give time for getting up the evidence, they were remanded until to-morrow week. The principal charge standing against the prisoners now is, of being concerned in the robbery at the residence of Mr. Charles Skingley, at Coggeshall, several years since, but it is expected that several further charges will be brought against them. We need hardly state that the apprehension of these parties, under the circumstances Just named, has created quite a sensation in the neighbourhood of Witham and Coggeshall, and much credit is given, both by the magistrates and the public, to Police constable Livermore, for the zeal and activity he displayed in capturing these fugitives in the manner he had, when they must have considered themselves beyond apprehension, for the ship was only waiting the going out of the tide to set sail to New York ; whence the parties were booked, and had paid their fare; and we have no doubt that, when an opportunity for promotion occurs in the force, he will not be forgotten.—lpswich Express. 81,321 4,639 9,970 4,823 5,253 8,199 5,355 $,299 THE IRON TRADE. The last three weeks of delightfully seasonable weather have dispelled all anxiety as to the result of the harvest, and afforded an opportunity to secure a good and pletiful supply of provisions for the winter season. The iron trade has partaken of the conse quent improvement in the general tone of feeling, and a marked impression is prevalent that no necessity can exist for much longer submitting to the present unremunerative prices ; although the scarcity of money, arising from an unwillingness on the part of capitalists to entertain anything like speculative pro jects, still cramps the operations of every trade. We are glad to learn that the steady home demand for manufacturing purposes continues unabated, and that within the last fortnight it has been deemed ad visable, in one instance, to declare an advance of ten shillings per ton upon nail-rods, by a house of the first standing, in order to prevent too great an accumulation of orders; since the nail ironmongers of the district, after having been induced to abandon an attempt at reducing the wages of their men, are now rather freely endeavouring to supply themselves with rods. It appears, also, that very con siderable orders have lately arrived from various parts of the Continent, where the novelty of military car nage and devastation seems to be losing its charms under a practical comparison between the results of civil convulsion and commercial industry, and it is likely that in a short time our business transactions there, which have been suspended during these dis turbances, will be again resumed to their full pre vious extent. In the pig trade prices are also well supported, and a brisk demand prevails. Several small lots have been taken at rather higher rates, and a great amount of business might have been done had the makers bees willing to sell. In the Scotch and Welch markets also a decided improvement has taken place, and the demand is so much more lively that some of the furnaces that were standing have been again put into blast. It is, however, to be hoped that this example will not be incautiously followed to any extent, as the prospects and gradual progress of amendment may be easily blighted by over-produc tion. A cheering trait also may be noticed in the number of advertisements for large contracts of iron of different denominations that have lately begun to make their appearance in the newspapers; and we are happy to observe that many of the new branches of railway, where operations for a time have been suspended, are again exhibiting indications of rene Ned progression. Upon the whole we think that the trade is now gradually assuming a healthy position; and rational grounds exist for the uni versal opinion that an advance of 10.. at least miy without hazard be proposed at the coming quarter-day. In this case the workmen will doubt less partake of the benefit; and notwithstanding the colliers and miners on Saturday last gave notice for 3d. and 6d. a day advance—with the prospect re ferred to so near at hand—their own good sense and feeling towards their employers. just emerging from so severe an ordeal, must point out to them the pro priety of deferring a Premature application. Indeed, we do not learn that the notice was the result of any unanimous expression of feeling among the men themselves, or that it was universally given —but it seems to have arisen in most instances from anony mous handbills, industriously circulated by some ill-designing persons, calling upon them to take such a step. A fruitful source of complaint, however, exists among the thick-coal colliers, in the fact that different rates of wages are now given in different localities of the South Staffordshire district, and this has not generally been the case.—Birmingham Gazette. 6,586 1,302 7,492 7,110 7,050 6,084 20,173 2,496 42,192 20,679 3,864 ,390 26,533 53,508 5,429 3,033 8,623 0,99 5,378 10,316 6,944 9,123 THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1040.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 21. (Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs) :HENRY SMITH'S BANKRUPTCY. This bankrupt, described as of East Mailing, Kent, paper manufacturer, came up on the question of certi ficate, supported by Mr. Lawrence. The ban krupt was opposed on a former application - for his certificate, on the ground of an alleged fraudulent preference in favour of a relative, and the further consideration of the ease stood adjourned pending the issue of an ac tion. The balance-sheet sets down creditors at 8,2991, and those holding security at 11,4841. The available asserts are stated to amount to 3,8221. The assignees offered no opposition, and the bankrupt's certificate was allowed. HENRY KNAPP'S BANKRUPTCY. Mr. LAWRANCE, who appeared on behalf of the bankrupt, a banker at Abingdon, said his client's ex amination had been adjourned from the month of June last, in order that he might furnish certain accounts as explanatory of his Stock-Exchange trans actions. These statements had only been filed ten or twelve days, and the official assignee (Mr. Johnson) required a month to examine them. If anythhig arose within that time needing explanation the bankrupt would be happy to render all the assistance in his power, but would decidedly oppose any further post ponement. Mr. llAwsuNs, as counsel for the assignees, was not instructed to object to the present arrangement. The bankrupt's accounts had occupied ten months in their preparation. Mr. LAWRANCE remarked that the bankrupt was only anxious to relieve himself and his family from the imputation of having concealed any portion of the creditors' money. Ultimately Thursday, Oct. 26, was appointed for the bankrupt's adjourned examination. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 21. (Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.) IN RE WILLIAM WHITE. This insolvent had :petitioned under the Protection Act, and now sought to be dischorged from custody until the day appointed for his first hearing. Mr. COOKE opposed upon the ground that the in solvent had falsely described himself as a non-trader, and called a witness named Samuel Snook, who de posed that he had worked for the insolvent (a builder) prior to his bankruptcy in 1847, and also subsequently. Mr. NicuoLs, who appeared for the insolvent, re commended his client, after this evidence, to give up the present petition and apply under the Ist and 2d Victoria, c. 110. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that was un doubtedly the proper course to be pursued, and there fore he should dismiss the present petition. (Before Mr. Commissioner HARRIS.) IN RE J. G. STEWART. This insolvent, a lieutenant in the Ist West India Regiment, was opposed on petition to be discharged by Mr. Nichols, on behalf of a creditor named Fumes, by Mr. Sturgeon for Mr. Joel, and by two creditors in person. Mr. Cooke supported. Mr. Joel being a creditor on a bill of exchange, the Court required the production of that document, but it could not be found. Mr. STURGEON submitted that, as an action had been brought and a judgment recovered upon this bill, there could be no doubt of Mr. Joel's right to oppose. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said he intended to re quire the production of a bill of exchange in all cases where it formed the foundation of a debt. Mr. Joel's opposition was then refused. Mr. Morland, army tailor, Jermyn-street, com plained that the insolvent gave them a bill for 160/. in May last to cover a debt of 69/. due by himself, and 94/. from his brother who had gone out to India. The insolvent had stated that he expected to have a large sum of money paid into Cox's to his account. The insolvent, upon being examined, said the money he expected was a sum of 1,3001., which he had a power of attorney from his father to receive. He had paid 401. on account of the dishonoured bill. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said he saw nothing in Mr. Morland's complaint to prevent the insolvent being discharged. Mr. NicuoLs prayed the Court to:adjourn the case for a few days, as Mr. Fumes, who was a material witness, was at present prevented from attending by reason of illness. After some discussion, the case was adjourned until Thursday next. IN RE GEORGE SUTHERLAND. This insolvent was opposed by Mr. Cooke, and was supported by Mr. Dowse. The opposition was twofold, on account of :a vexa tious defence whereby the creditors had been put to 401. law costs, and on account of a making away of property by giving a bill of sale to a Mr. Moir shortly before his arrest. The COURT considered the complaints proved, and remanded the insolvent for a period of 12 calendar months from the date of his vesting order. EXTRAORDINARY CROP OF POTATOES.—A gentle man in Banff having in the spring received a few potatoes, part of a small quantity procured from Rotter dam, planted them in his garden ill the Seatown, having cut the seed as usual. The plants very soon appeared, and through the summer continued to grow most luxu riantly, so much so that all who saw them predicted that there would be nothing hut shawl.

Tim AFFONSO STEAM FRIGATE. —This fine vessel, the crew of which have earned an European fame for their humane and disinterested conduct, sailed from Liverpool on Tuesday for Lisbon an d Rio de Janerio. DEATH BY AMMONIA.--On Saturday evening a journeyman hatter in the employment of a firm in the Canongate went into a closet on the premises, and lift • ing up a phial, containing tionnonia, took a mouthful or two of this powerful t xeoriative, the consequence of which was that he died within an hour, his mouth, tongue, and throat having swelled to such an extent as to produce suffocation. The case is under medical in vestigation, and us yet it is not known whether the de ceased partook of the ammonia from a suicidal intention, or mistook it for spirit of wine, of which he had been in the habit of tasting freely and with impunity, he having been greatly addicted to intoxicating liquors.—Caledo nian Mercury. THEFT AND RECOVERY OF THE PROPERTY.—OH Wednesday a lady, while attending a sale of furni ture, discovered that her purse had been taken from her pocket. On mentioning the circumstance to some par ties in the room the company were desired to remain, and in the meantime the police were sent for. On their arrival a search was made, but unfortunately they were unsuccessful in discovering the thief. All hopes of ever again seeing the purse and its contents having been given up by the lady, she returned home. In the course of the evening, however, she was not a little surprised to hear of its discovery; for about six o'clock in the even. ing she received from the auctioneer intimation to that effect. It appears that a respectable gentleman, who had also been attending the sale, after dinner had put his hand into his pocket for his handkerchief, drew out the missing purse. He immediately delivered it over to the auctioneer, with its contents all safe. There cannot be a named doubt that th e thi e f , f ear i ng detection, had slipped it into Bagshaw, accompanied by her three child ren , that gentlem an ' s pocket.—Glasgow Chronicle. CHILD••STBALING--E. ar y in May last, a Wom an came to M anc h ester from Sheffield, in search of her , hus band. Not finding him she went to the workhouse for relief, and there raet another woman named Lloyd, who had come to Manchester on a similar errand, and had been also obliged to apply for parochial assistance. until While waitin g at the workhouse Lloyd seemed to take much noti ce of Bagshaw's youngest child, which was rather more th an a twelvemonth old, and after playing with it for several minutes, sat down with it i n h er arms on the door- step. Shortly afterwards Bagsh aw l oo k e d about for her child, and fo u nd that both i t an d Lloyd vanished. She immediately went to the p o li ce - o ffi ce, and gave inf ormation of the theft, and a description of o t the woman.ethe child Ntiolthing however, was heard gshw, o a eitherf , who her was Saturday last,when Ba at Kirkdale to witness an execution, saw Lloyd walking through the streets with the child in her arms. She at once rushed up to her, and having taken the child from her, gave the woman into custody. The prisoner was conveyed to Manchester In the evening, and on Monday morning brought up at the Borough Court, where she admitted the offence. The magistrates com mitted the prisoner for • lat the sessions,— Manchester trill CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Before Mr. Justice ERLE and,,Mr. Justice WIL- LiAms.) Theodore Piedfort, the Frenchman who was con victed on Wednesday of a felonious assault upon a woman, was brought up for judgment. The prisoner addressed the Court in French, and prayed their Lordships to have mercy upon him for the sake of his wife and children. He declared to God that he was innocent of the crime. Mr. Justice ERLE said the jury had paid great attention to the case, and had considered it most carefully, and they had come to the conclusion that he was guilty of the offence imputed to him, and it appeared to him that it was of an aggravated cha racter. He had deliberately taken advantage of the defenceless position of the prosecutrix to commit the crime, and he (the Learned Judge) considered that he should be neglecting his duty if he did not pass a severe sentence. A very short time back the offence was a capital one, and at present any person con victed of it was liable to be transported for life. He should not go to that extent, but taking into con sideration the character of the offence, he felt called upon to sentence him to be transported for twenty years. William Stennett, the postman who yesterday pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a letter con taining money, was also brought up for judgment, and he was sentenced to be transported for ten years. ) Mary Ann West, 27, a married woman, was in dieted for the manslaughter of her mother, Elizabeth Shields, by striking her on the head with a brick, and by beating her, and casting her upon the ground. Mr. O'Brien prosecuted, and Mr. Prendergast ap peared for the prisoner. Martha Foster, a little girl nine years old, deposed that she lived at No. 10, Lower Marsh, Lambeth, and the prisoner lodged in the same house. The deceased lodged next door, and on the afternoon of the 30th of August she was in the back yard of her house, and the prisoner was in the garden of No. 10. They were quarrelling, and after they had talked some time, the prisoner picked up a brick and threw it at her mother, and it struck her on the back part of the head. The deceased picked up an oyster-shell and threw it at her daughter, and then went into the house. The prisoner followed her, and then there was a great noise i n th e passage , an d wi tn ess went into the house and saw t h e d ecease d, an d at that time her head was covered with blood. Cross-examined—The old lady called her daughter a very bad name, and said that she bad robbed her of 101. Mr. R. Hemmings deposed, that he occupied the house No. 11, Lower Marsh, and the deceased lived in his back parlour. She was of very intemperate habits, and was continually drunk. Upon the after noon in question he heard a noise in the passage of his house, and on going down he found the prisoner and deceased struggling together, and the latter had her hand fast clenched in her daughter's hair. The prisoner appeared to be struggling to get away, and at length the deceased fell down heavily backwards, and her head struck against a step in the passage, the prisoner being dragged down on the top of her by her hair. He endeavoured to separate them, but w t e h r e e found it impossible to do so, and he sent for a police man, and when the deceased got up he saw that her for swolle n,walkedand sah )udti and e datshoanut usual eri Thursdayeuynetsil cap was completely saturated . with blood. He saw e the deceased the next morning, and observed that her following Sunday, when she was put to; bed and a afterwards. surgeonfa blackened. cewas w v air very emuchShent Cross-examined—Whe n he first saw the prisoner and the deceased the former appeared to be trying to get away, but her mother held her fast by the hair, and dragged her down with her, and the prisoner repeatedly begged her to loose her hold. The de ceased was quite drunk at the time, and in fact she was constantly drunk during the period she had lodged with him. She was frequently quite drunk so early as six o'clock in the morning, and she would then stop in her rooms a short time, and when she got better she would go out and get drunk a second time. 'When she was in that state she would always aggra vate her daughter and call her bad names, and also charge her with robbing her. Norman, the police-constable who was called in, deposed that the deceased gave her daughter into custody for assaulting and robbing her, and upon in quiry before the magistrate, the prisoner was ordered to find bail to keep the peace towards her mother. Mrs. Humphreys, the wife of the former witness, deposed that she never saw deceased sober, and that she was in the habit of falling down frequently, and she h ear d s h e h ad had a severe fall about a week be fore this affair happened. Mr. O'Shee, a surgeon, who saw the deceased on the Sunday after the occurrence, proved that her death was immediately caused by erysipelas. lie observed marks of injuries upon the back of the head CAPTURE OP A GOLDEN EAGLE.—A very fine male specimen of this rare bird was shot a few days ago in Gaick Forest, by William G r i n dl e y, servant to Viscount Maidstone. Th e eagle was first observed from the top of Msluygb, a high and rugge d hill i n th e centre of th e Grampian range, pursuing a covey of grouse. On being brought to the ground by a slight wound in the wing, a fight took place between it and Grindley and another man, in which the animal defended itself with bill and s c t l r a e w e ifo o r f u this pwards of half an hour, after which it was secured. It is now being stuffed by Mr. Fenton, George where it may be seen. When fully spread, the wings measure six feet between the extremi• ties, the length of the animal from the bill to the tip of the tail being thirty-three inches. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 20.—The whole of the gentle men cadets of the Upper Royal Military Academy marched into the country yesterday armed with carbines,, and wearing their accoutrements, and returned by the lower Greenwich road, past the Dockyard and Royal Marine Barracks, entering the Artillery-ground at the north-west - gate, and so across the common to their barracks, headed by Lieutenant M. S. Biddulph, and ac companied by the sergeant-major, the drill -sergeants, and bugler. The gentlemen cadets bad advanced and rear guards thrown out during the march, similar to those in line regiments. and face, but they were not sufficient to cause death in themselves; the death was occasioned by erysi pelas, acting upon a debilitated frame and broken constitution. The erysipelas, he had no doubt, was the result of the injury that appeared upon the face of the deceased. In answer to a question put by the Learned JUDGE, the witness said, that drunken and intem perate habits might in themselves produce erysipelas in the system, and in such a case violence would ac celerate its appearance. Mr. PRENDERGAST, in addressing the jury for the prisoner, expressed his opinion that they would hardly convict her of this offence upon the evidence that had been adduced. It was quite clear that the deceased was a drunken, violent person, and that she was constantly in the habit of aggravating her daugh ter, and although on this occasion there had been a struggle between them, all that the prisoner ap peared to be proved to have done was, to endeavour to get away from her mother : and the injuries upon the head of the deceased might have been the result of her own violence on this occasion or of her drunken habits. A witness was called who gave the prisoner a good character for humane conduct, and who also stated that during the illness of the deceased she waited upon her with the utmost kindness and attention. It like wise appeared that the deceased had frequently fallen down when drunk, and about three weeks before the occurrence in question she fell down stairs, when in that state, and hurt her head. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS having summed up, The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. FORGERY.—A young man, named Waddy, was in dicted for uttering a forged cheque for 10/. upon the London Joint-Stock Bank, in the City. Frederick Roundtree, a publican, stated that the pri soner, on Saturday, the 21st of August, came to his house, and asked him to advance him some money upon a cheque until Monday morning, as the bank was shut up, and said, if he would do so he would pay off a- por tion of an old debt he owed. He said the 101. was his share of some property belonging to his deceased aunt, and that in a month he expected to receive some more. Witness advanced him 21. The cheque purported to be drawn by E. Mealy, of Elm-court, Temple, but the bank refused to cash it on its being taken on Monday morning, and the forgery was discovered. Cross- examined by Mr. CLARKSON—The prisoner was not in a state of intoxication when he gave him the cheque. Several other witnesses having been called, Mr. CLARKSON addressed the jury for the defence, and called witnesses to character. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to seven years' transportation. The trial of Ann Trinham, the unfortunate woman who stands accused of murdering her child by leaping from a steam-boat in the river, was postponed until next session. NEW COURT. • (Before the RECORDER.) Thomas Pyle, aged 42, a smith, was indicted for stealing a quantity of tools, valued at 71., the property of Thomas Jackson. Mr. Robinson defended the prisoner. Mr. PARNELL stated the following case to the jury:— The prisoner was foreman to the smiths in the employ of the prosecutor, who is the well-known builder and railway contractor, residing at Pimlico. In conse quence of the slackness of trade the prisoner had been for some months past engaged in making tools, and, upon his receiving notice to quit the service, he was requested to give up the tools named in the indict ment, which, not being forthcoming, his lodgings were searched, and the things found. The prisoner then said that he was about to leave, he had taken the things to assist him when he set up in business. The prisoner gave up the whole of the property voluntarily, none of which had been defaced or made away witb, and could not have been identified by the prosecu tors, but for his stating that it was their property. Mr. ROBINSON denied any felonious intention on the part of his client, and called a number of witnesses who gave him a high character for honesty for a great number of years. The RECORDER, in summing up, said the prosecu tors were quite right in sending the case for trial, but that however irregularly the prisoner had behaved, his subsequent conduct went a long way to negative the supposition that his intention was felonious, and as the tools wer e un fi n i s h e d and the prisoner had a right to:keep them in his custody, he did not consider the charge could be sustained from the simple fact of the things being removed to his lodgings, especially as the term of his service had not expired. The jury, after a short consultation, Acquitted the prisoner. Henry Curzon, aged 24, a labourer, was indicted for stealing nine sovereigns, the property of William Bennett, in his dwelling-house. Mr. Parnell prosecuted, and Mr. Payne defended the prisoner. Mrs. Matilda Bennett, the wife of the prosecutor, stated, that they lived at No. 3, Queen-street, Horse- lydown, and her husband is the owner of the Clemen tina, a vessel trading between England and Ireland, The prisoner is their cousin by marriage, and lodged ' with them ; and upon the 10th of July witness gave to prisoner the money named in the indictment for the purpose of paying some rent that was due, she being about to accompany her husband upon his journey. They returned upon the 16th of August, and when witness got home the prisoner was absent. He returned in the course of the afternoon, and then said that he was going out, and should be detained late, and wished to have the street-door key, which witness refused to let him have, and said her sister should sit up for him. She retired to rest early, and about 11 o'clock the prisoner came home, and made a statement to her sister which caused her to go down stairs ; and she then learnt from the pri soner that he had seen two men leap from the top of the street door, and that he had found they had been into the room he occupied and broke open his box. On the next murning he gave him notice to leave the house, and he theWld her that he had not paid the rent, and that the money which had been left for that purpose had been stolen on the previous night. Miss Curtis, sister to the last witness, corroborated her statement, adding that no one could have entered the house as alluded to by the prisoner; and that two policemen (whom he fetched in to see the place that had been broken into) said no one had ever been in the place, and that the story was a fabri cation. The 'other evidence went to prove that when the landlord's agent called for the rent, the prisoner made a variety of excuses for not paying him, and that on the day previously to the prosecutor's return he had made La similar statement about a robbery having taken place by which he had lost the money. Mr. PAYNE contended that the money having been voluntarily given to the prisoner, who was in the capacity of a servant, the fact of his having appro priated it to his own purposes would not constitute a felony. After some argument, the RECORDER left it for the jury to say whether the prisoner took the money with an intention of . depri v i ng t h e prosecutor of it, or whether he only Intended to appropriate it to his own purpose for a time, and whether they believed the prisoner had been robbed, as he stated. Eventually the jury returned a verdict, that they did not believe the story of the robbery, and that they thought, having appropriated a portion of the money to his own use, he was unable to make good the whole payment. The RECORDER saki that, under these circum stances, a charge of larceny could not be s us t a i ne d , and directed hi s acquittal. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Yesterday William Nash was brought up for final examination on the charge of stealing a horse and gig, the property of Mr. Stapleton. A fresh case was entered into where the prisoner hired a one-horse britzska for the purpose of taking a drive into the country. The coachman drove him to the Eagle at Snaresbrook, as he wished to enjoy a dinner in the country. The dinner was ordered, and partaken of both by the prisoner and the coachman ; after which the former, as usual, said h e was g oing to take a wa lk , and ordered tea to be ready, at the same time very considerately telling the landlord to let hi s servant have whatever he wanted. Betore leavin g , h owever, he went to the coachmhane and borrowed 2 5 ., p rom i s i ng to repay h i m when paid his bill. Mr. R. T. Peters, the landlord of the Blue Bcar, Holborn, deposed to the fact of the prisoner entering his service about four or five months back under the none of Selvey. He was discharged about a month ago for irregularity. Alderman LAWRENCE said he should send him for trial to the Central Criminal Court. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. -- - Alphonse Pillon and Josephine Raoul were brought before Mr. Bingham for final examination, charged with being concerned in a robbery of 57 yards of silk, value 161., from the shop of Mr. IV. Pugh, silk mercer, No. 163, Regent-street. The woman Raoul has been long known to the police. It appeared that she was one of three French persons who went into the prosecutor's shop to make a purchase of silk. After the three F rench women had left the shop the silk in question was . missed. Pillon was found to have pledged some portions of the silk, and he v‘as taken into custody, evidence as induced the police n e gave such custody.

Mr. Elizabeth Baker, the wife of a baker, her e i g n o r t into the witness-box and stated she resided next d o o r to the house of Mrs. Linfield; that she had see n . 0 " number of women brought to the prisoner's house in the family -way, and all, or at least the great wilie r ? of them, left in about a fortnight. They g'eneral came in cabs, and were taken away in similar vehicles ; some of them by gentlemen. Mr. NORTON—Have you noticed that some of the females we re more advanced in pregnancy than ti" others ? ,Witness—l have, Sir. Mr. NOR TON —A n d yet you say that all left there in about a fortnight ? Witness—Yes, Sir, that w as about the time. Mr. NO RTON —H ave you not i ced that i n f an t s have been taken from there ? liritness—No, Sir, I never saw a single baby removed from the house. (This answer produced a considerable sensation amongst the crowd in the court.) Mr. NORTON—Did you not observe any of thae numerous women take away their infants with them r Witness—Not one of them, Sir. As I have said before, I never saw a baby removed from Mrs. Linfield's. In her cross•examination by Mr. Game, the wit• ness acknowledged that s h e h a d known Linfield for many years, and that she had once attended herself in her confinement, when she acquitted herself with skill and judgment. She (witness) was not aware that Mrs. Linfield was a parish midwife, but believed she was engaged as such by some charitable institu tion. She did not think it likely that women who wentto the house t o b e con fi ne d pr i vately and concea l the!.... r shame from th e i r f r i en d s were lik ely to take the i r of! , spring home w ith th em, nor di d she sit up al l n ight to see wheth er th e i n f ants were removed then or 110". In conclusion the witness said, that she was not sividu; lar in h er remar k s, f or that many of her neighh".. r thought it s t range an d suspicious while women wer' evidently confined there, no infants should be seen. Mr. J. Clark, a tea-dealer, also r es idi n g next doo r to the prisoner Linfield, corroborat e d the testimony of the last witness as to having frequently seen w l; men in a state o f p regnancy brought to the prisone r house, end leave th ere i n a few weeks but he di d not c l take particular not i ce as to time. H e had chservf, women at the back w i n d ows of the house while was in his garden, but had never seen any infa nts ' If heard their cri es . F or some considerable time himself and his family were annoyed by a nuisance of an in tolerable description, and having strong suspieic us as to the cause, h e h a d a drain which led from the cestr pool in th e p r i soner ' s garden, and passed under his kitchen, op ene d , expecting to find so mething jilt proper there, but did not find anything of the deort tion he anticipated. He had a grating placed in drain so as to prevent any substance it, and since then the stench, as of putrid matter, was not so bad. the Another neighbour, a cow-keeper, described _ A effluvium arising from Mrs. Linfield's premises, 3 . 7 which he said was not of ,an ordinary description' but appeared to him to be occasioned by the de ooll '._ . passing through position of some putrid matter, and was most intole rable. The next and last witness was the brother of the unfortunate girl, who said that he took a letter from his sister t o Linfield on th a t d a y wee k, when th at _ person told hi m s h e was merely treating h i s s i s t e r for a liver complaint. The prisOner, who declined saying anything, w as again remanded, and Mr. NORTON gave particular directions that th e h ouse, garden, and prom i s ee of Linfield should be strictly examined. Mr. Robins, in reply to a question from Mr. NO ) " TON, said he had placed the instruments found at the house of Linfield before Mr. Flower, the divisional surgeon, and that gentleman informed him that they were such as might found with a midwife; but still, that in unskilful or improper hands a very dangerous and fatal use might be made of thaw HAMBURGII GRAPES.—Yesterday, the Ocean ar riv. d in the river, from llamburgh, with 8,000 baskets of black grapes, the produce of the vineyards in the vicinity of that town.
