The Turkish authorities only interfered to put him and his comrade in prison, where they were detained in spite of the energetic remonstrances of our consular agent. Such manifest violation of the law of nations could not be tolerated. On the 27th ult. the French squadron lets Toulon for Tripoli with orders to have tue two prisoners given up, or to de stroy the town. On the 28th the squadron an chored before the piece, and a communication took place between the admiral and the coneul general. The Pacha left for the interior at the very commencement of the affair. A summons was immediately sent to the mudir commanding the place to give up the prisoners by sunrise the following day at the latest. At seven o'clock in the morning of the 29th no answer having been returned, the consu general struck his flag and went on board the admi ral's sip, followed by several Christian families of different nations, who were received on board the vessels of the squadron. The merchant vessels at anchor in the port hauled out of the range of shot. The squadron was about to open its fire after sending a second summons to the mudir, when at nine o'clock the admiral was informed that the two deserters were about to be given up, and at four o'clock an agent of the mudir brought them on board the admiral's ship. On the morning of the 30th the squadron put to sea. If the Regency of Tripoli had not immediately given the satisfaction demanded, our squadron would have maintained the legitimate claims of France by force."

(Feom the M e lbourne Argus of April 3,) Yesterday morning (April '2), at an early hour, two boats, with muffled oars, containing twenty-two men, armed to the teeth, proceeded from the beach at Sendridge to the barque Nelson, lying off the light hoese at Williams Town. This vessel, which has recently arrived from Geelong, en route to London, had on board 8,183 ounces of gold. Not withstanding so large an amount of treasure was deposited in her, no watch was kept, and the pirates succeeded in boarding her, and securing two men and a boy, who were in the forecastl a e, before they c o u ld raise an y alarm. Having di.. parsed themselves over the vessel, some- went aft and seized the chief officer and a friend, together with the carpenter, who were asleep in the cabin, whilst others employed themselves in throwing over board all the small arms within their reach, as well as the swivel-guns mounted on the poop deck. Mr. Draper, the chief officer, received a slight wound in the thigh, from a shot fired by one of the robbers, before they succeeded in overpowering him and his companions, which they soon did, and having lashed their hands together, they cone ' menced plundering the lazarette, of the position of which they appeared to be well acquainted. shore Cap n d Wright, the commander of the v essel, was aan seven only of the crew remained on board. Having secured the treasure of which they were in search, and deposited it in the boats, they took the precaution before quitting the vessel of imprisoning all hands in the lazarette, where it is difficult to conjecture how long they m i g ht have remained had they not been seama n, who, in the early part of the fray, released during the confusion which ensued, succeeded i n secreting himself, and who emer g ed from his urbinyga ' hiding place when well assured of the departure of the assailants. So soon as the chief officer was liberated from his confinement b e proceeded to Williams Town, and gave informa tion to the proper authorities of what had occurred. The harbour master's and water police boats were immediately manned and proceeded to sea, in the hope of overtaking the plunderers, but they could discover nothing until dayli g ht, when they found one of the boats half a mile from the beach towards S.. Kilda, broadside on the sand, together with the tracks of dray wheels brought there to convey away the plunder. Another boat was found on the beach at Williams Town. Upon the arrival of Mr. Level, the inspector of water police, in town yesterday morning, with in telligence of the occurrence, Captain Sturt started off with a body of the mounted police, and scoured the country, with the view of discovering what direction the dray had taken after leaving the beach. Up to the time of going to press last night, we regret to say, no tidings had been heard of them; but it is expected that, in the event of their capture, some of their num ber could be recognised, though many of them had the lower part of their faces disguised in black hand kerchiefs, with caps over their eyes. (From the Argus of April 6.) There is little to add in reference to the daring act of piracy committed on board the Nelson. Yesterday morning as a compositor in our employment, named Mr. Masters, was proceeding to the beach, within half a mile of the hotel, at a short distance from the land, he stumbled over the empty boxes which had contained the gold, and which were concealed in the tea-tree scrub. They are now lying at the watchhouse. A fa nc y pipe was also found close by, as well as a blue shirt, which perhaps m ay afford some clue to the perpetrators of this daring deed. In the hurried division of the spoil, some of the gold had been spilt about the place, and several people were employed yesterday after wash in carrying away the sand for the purpose of ing it. A bag of gold dust was found on Satur day morning, which is believed to have formed a portion of the plunder. The following is an extract from a private letter, dated Melbourne, the 19th April:— "Several persons have since been apprehended on suspicion of the robbery of the Nelson, and one man has been committed for trial." RACING FIXTU POLAND - A letter from Warsaw states that the cholera is making great ravages at Sieradz. The deat4s are very numerous. In the kingdom of Poland there exists an ordinance which enacts that men shall not wear beards w ith ou t permission of the a uthoritis, and without p ay i ng a duty. At the last fair at Korieglow several persons with beards were summoned before the Mayor to pro duce their permissions. Those who could not do so were placed in the hands of a barber, and the beards were shaved off. RES FOR 1852. UST.

This wil be the first railway in Greece. • EXPERIMENTAL TRIP TO PARIS. On Saturday last an interesting trip took place for the purpose of ascertaining the practicability of effect ing an improved system of communication between London and Paris by way of Dieppe. On the map this route is evidently the shortest, forming nearly a straight line, through Newhaven, Dieppe, and Rouen, from the one metropolis to the other. Hi , therto this route has been little used, mainly on account of insufficient steamboat accommodation across the Channel, and incomplete arrangements for connecting the Landon and Brighton Railway on one side, with the Paris, Rouen, and Dieppe line on the other. During the greatly increased traffic of 1851 the di rectness of this route, and its cheapness, attracted crowds of passengers, but the steamboat and harbour arrangements were found to be such as called for decided improvement, in order to render it perma nently a favourite with the public. Since that time the attention of practical men has been a good deal directed to the subject, and efforts are now being made to place the communication on a better footing, On Saturday morning the chairman, directors, and officers of the Paris, Rouen, and Dieppe Railway left Paris by an express train, and reached Dieppe in three hours and a half; and on the same morning the chairman and officers of the London and Brighton ' Railway left London to meet them by an express ' train, with which they reached Newhaven in less than an hour and a half, the total railway distance being thus got over in five hours, excluding, of course, the sea voyage, which is the chief difficulty of the route. For the purpose of rendering this as perfect as pos sible, a new description of vessel was tried, possess ing qualities and arrangements of an unusual kind. Instead of the close cabins down in the hold of the ship, where passengers are usually con fined, the vessel carries her first-class passengers on deck in a large and luxurious saloon, surrounded with plate glass windows, where they are thoroughly protected from the wind and waves, and yet enjoy an extensive view, having abundance of light and the most perfect ventilation. 0 wing to the peculiar construction of the vessel the motion of the sea is much less felt than in steamers generally, a result which has been accomplished by making her of un usual length, so as to prevent pitching, and by a • proportion of beam and height which diminishes the • rolling, With this vessel, called the Wave Queen, the Chairman of the Brighton Railway, Mr. Laing, M.P., and several other gentlemen made the passage • from Newhaven to Dieppe, with a strong south • westerly breeze and a considerable sea, directly on the beam—circumstances regarded as exceedingly . unfavourable for the voyage—in 51 hours. It is believed, therefore, that the whole route from London to P ar i s may be accomplished in from 91 to 101 hours, excluding stoppages, and that, allowing time on each side for embarcation and dabarcation, it may, wide good irrangerneats, be completed in from 10 to 11 hours.

On Thursday we gave the details of a most me lancholy accident which occurred in the Bristol Channel off Clevedon, and which resulted in the deaths of four young men, three of whom were the sons of respectable tradesmen residing at this fashion able watering place, and the fourth had recently come to live there. One of the bodies has been recovered, and en inquest has since been held on it by Mr. T. L. Whitmore, the deputy-coroner for the district, when, in addition to the facts already g iven, it was shown that on Ss'urday, the 31st ult., thr ee of the deceased were engaged about some ne w build ings in the process of erection at Clevedon. It was then agreed on to make up a boating party to go to Weston-super-Mare the following day, to hich altogether five persons consented—namely, the w four deceased men, George Hurdle, mason, aged 28 ; William Laurie, 22, a carpen , er ; Samuel Fripp, 29, lime burner; James Davis, 23, baker; and also another young man awned Charles Merchant, a mason Hurdle undertook to steer the boat. T he y started early in the morning, and after about three hours' sailing they arrived safely at Weston, where they spent the day. In the afternoon they all re-em barked, except Merchant, who expressed his inten tion of remaining at Weston all night, and returning to Clevedon by the first train the next morning. The four deceased were never again seen alive. The body of Davis was discovered the next day on the sands at a place called Woodspring, in the parish of Caew k stoke, about four miles from Clevedon, and the boat itself was found upset near Kingston Wharf. The body of Davis presented a shocking sight, having been much eaten about the face and neck by crabs, several of which were hanging about it when it was recovered. The boat, it was stated, was a very small one, and by no means fit to venture to sea in. It is supposed to have capsized off a very dangerous point, known as Fiddler's-point, or to have struck a sand bank inamediately the ni beyond and turned over. It seems thatght was very gusty, and the wind rose consider ablypkeeper at after 4 o'clock, the time the party started from Weston. It is said that the unfortunate deceased venturing rfully acrossw arn warned of dangeroust he danger B part t y aian Fiddler's point, r d r d e l d e r b ,s y . point, where there is a strong current and two tides meet. All four of the deceased were much respected at Clevedon. The jury returned a verdict of a ea ie dental death. One of the young men has left a widowed mother, who is a respectable silo Clevedon, to deplore the loss of an only son. Tutm Blllinrobe ...... 3l :31BER.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, Aug. 7. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice CEESSWELL.) MASTERS V. JOHNSON. Mr. WhatelPy, QC., and Mr. Phipson appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Keating, Q.C., and Mr. Gray for the defendant. The plaintiff was a commercial traveller, and the defendant a wholesale draper at Birmingham, and the action was for 1661., the balance of a thre?-quarters of a years' salary at 2501. a year. The chief question in the case was, whether the plaintiff was engaged by the week at 41. 101., or by the year at 2501. Both plaintiff and defendant were examined, and they swore point blank against each other, the plaintiff swearing that it was a yearly hiring at 2501., and the defendant swearing that it was only a weekly hiring at 41. 103. Each was corroborated to a certain extent by other witnessee and evidence. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, expressly told the jury that, whatever way they might decide, it would be impossible to arrive at any other conclusion than that either the plaintiff or the defendant came into the witness-box with a deliberate intention to forswear himself and deceive them. The case commenced about two o'clock yeaterday, and did not close till ten o'clock to-day, when The jury, after a few minutes' consultation, found a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. The fallowing case was tried before a special jury : C lIESS HY RE 'V. NORMAN.-LIBEL. had so outraged the law must undoubtedly be punished. In coceidering the cases of rioting which would be laid before them, the grand jury would ascertain how far the prisoners had g.:ne in piPling down and demolishing any places ch!. worship. With the view of guarding the religious rights of the Roman Catholics, the statutes to which he bad re ferred were in force for the purpose of protecting their religious places of worship. Now, if they should find that any of the prisoners charged proceeded so far in their rioting as to begin to destroy and demolish the chapels of the Roman Catholics then they would come within the statue, but they must be satisfied th It there had been en intention to demolish, either by fire or some other mode. It was not necessary that the Places of worship should actually have been de molished, because it might be that the presence of the police had prevented the demolition being com pleted. The intentional beginning of the work cf demolition was sufficient to bring the prisoners within the meaning of the statute. In the year 1780 they all know what dreadful excesses took place by in furiated mobs pulling down houses and chapels, and it was frightful to contemhlate such lawless proceed ings taking place in the present day. For the pro tection of society, no less than for the honour of the country, such disgraceful outrages must be checked, and the authors of them severely punished. These proceedings at Stockport appeared to him to be no less an outrageous violation of the laws than the riots which took place in the time of the late Lord George Gordon, and he repeated that it was of the greatest importnce that such outrages should be effectually put down. He did not wish to address them on the question of religious differences and animosi ties, neither did he wish to allude to the acrimonious feelings which he feared existed to too great an extent between certhin classes of Englishmen and Irishmen who might be residing in such places es Stockport ; but he must remind them that as Ireland was a portion of the United Kingdom, the Irish had as great a right to take up their resi dence in Stockport as any of the gentlemen before him had to reside in the county of Chester. With regard to the charge of homicide which had arisen out of these charges, the coroner's jury had returned a verdict of wilful murder against the prisoner. It would he their duty to see whether the charge of murder was fatly brought home to the prisoner. The depositions in this case were very long and very con fused. It would appear that the prisoner struck the deceased with a pekyr. Now, should they be of opi nion that the blow with the poker was deliberately inflicted, then it would be a case of murder. If, however, they should be of opinion that the blow was struck in the heat of the moment the offence would be reduced to manslaughter. After some further general remarks his Lordship dismissed the grand jury to their duties. Mr. Alexander, Q.C., Mr. Keating, Q.C., and Mr. Fallon appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Whateley, Q.C., and Mr. Pigott for the defendant. This was an action against the publisher of the Cheltenham Examiner, for a libel on a Cheltenham attorney. The libel appeared as an advertisement, in the shape of a letter from " A Looker-on" to the editor. After alluding to two cases of alleged ob struction and assault, brought by a Mr. Blagdon, a county magistrate, and the Rev. Mr. ShuPe, against a man named Hill, and heard before two magistrates at petty sessions at Cheltenham, when plaintiff ape peered as Hill's attorney, the libel stated that he, " after most unnecessarily having attempted to brow beat Mr. Shute, and seeing that the case was evi dently against his client, got up, and instead of making a defence, commenced a most bitter and un provoked attack upon the character of Mr. Blagdon —assailed him with the vilest epithets, and charged him with the meanest motives, by no means re straining his observations to the truth or the evi dence before him. This conduct, though extremely bad as disgraceful in itself, I do not so much find fault with, and doubtless Mr. Chesshyre thought it was his proper line of business ; and, not pretending to be a gentleman, of course he cannot be supposed to have any respect for the feelings of a gentleman. So this point I dismiss. But really, Sir, I think any right minded man must feel exceedingly indignant that the presiding magistrate could allow an attorney to vilify and asperse the character of a country gentleman, a member of the bench on which he was sitting, and, I may add, who has been a member of that bench for a number of years—that be permitted such slanderous and disgraceful language is most lamentable. Such violent language as Mr. Chesshyre used ought to have been checked at the outset; or, is it come to this, that a gentleman cannot appear as a witness in a case with out being insulted to his face by an insignificant at torney who may be entrusted with a vagabond's de fence. The presiding magistrate's duty was plain. No such language should have been permitted; if such infamous conduct were universal our courts of justice would soon be converted into bear-gardens, and any gentleman who might happen to thwart the views of paltry attorney might be called upon to listen to lan guage which, according to the established rules of society, be evidently could not resent. In conclusion, I am sure you will agree with me when I say that it augurs badly for our town, when a bench of magi strates will listen to the insulting tirade of a vulgar demagogue, who would court popular favour at the expense of truth and justice. As Mr. Blagdon very wisely remarked, such conduct as Mr. Chesshyre displayed may win the applause of the mobility. But, Sir, is the bench to be mobbed ? are our laws to be hoodwinked ? are the ends of justice to be defeated by impudent blueterers ?" Immediately on the appear ance of this thicument the plaintiff desired that the author should be given up ; but the defendant de clined to do so, and said he should be legally respon sible for it. Thereupon this action vs as commenced. The defendant pleaded not guilty, and a justification to the effect that Mr. Chesshyre's conduct at the petty sessions warranted the description given of it. The evidence of the two magistrates who presided on that occasion completely disproved this justification, and showed that the plaintiff's conduct was most pro per and becoming, and that the utmost that could be said against him was, that he was irritated as well as Mr. Blagdon, and that he did say that the charge was a trumpery one, and that he used the word partisan in reference to lr. Blagdon. Mr. WHATELEY, in addressing the jury in mitiga tion of damages, urged that the libel was an excellent advertisement of the plaintiff, for which be ought to be thankful ; that to publish of him that be browbeat a county magistrate was very likely to make his for , tune ; that he must feel so in his heart, and that he would never have thought of bringing the action if it were not for the temptation of costs. The jury, after a short consultation, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 403. His LORDSHIP granted a certificate for the costs of a special jury. The bills in the Stockport case were before the grand jury when our report left. The case excites the most intense interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. John Thomas Parry, a compositor, was brought up by Ware, the piernian, at Blackfriars-bridge, on a charge of attempting to commit suicide. John William Ware said, at about 5 o'clock in the morning his attention was called to the prisoner in the water, and on rowing to the spot indicated, he saw the prisoner roll over into deep water. Witness, however, succeeded in rescuing him, and having taken him to the receiving house ashore, searched him, and found only a farthing 'and some trifling articles of little or no value. Prisoner told him he had been driven to desperation by poverty. Alderman FINNIS asked if the officer had made any inquiry at the prisoner's place of abode ? The officer said he had done so, and the'prisonn°6 wife and other friends were in cour✓. The wife then stood forward, and in answer to in terrogatories from the Alderman stated that her hus band had had very little work to do lately, and some times did not earn ss. in the week. She had ten children, and eight of them were young and at home with her, and in great distress. Her husband left home on Friday morning to seek for work, and find ing he did not return on Saturday, she applied to the West London Union for relief, when she was told to send her husband. Aldermen FINNI3 inquired whom she saw at the West London Union?—The wife said she saw the relieving officer and the overseer. Alderman FINN'S then asked if she stated her chil dren were actuelly without bread, and on receiving a reply in the afßrmative he commented with some warmtn upon the cruel neglect in leaving the children to starve until the husband could be found to make a personal application for relief. He would remand the case, in order that the relieving officer and overseer might attend and explain vs by they omitted to relieve the distressed family and the prisoner. The prisoner, on being asked what induced him to contemplate committing such a fearful act as self destruction, said that not being able to obtain work on Friday, and having no money to take home, he could not return to see his children wanting bread. He had no means to get a lodging elsewhere, and at last he was reduced to such a distressed state of mind that he scarcely knew what he:did. The prisoner was remanded. BOW-STREET. James Donaldson, who has been two or three times in custody for "smashing," although never convicted, was charged before Mr. Hall with passing two coun terfeit half-crowns at the St. Clement-Danes' Savings Bank, in Norfolk -street, Strand. Mr. Bellamy, a clerk from the office of the Solicitor to the Mint, begged to inform the magistrate that the charge could not be substantiated; but as the gentle man who attended from the bank appeared anxious to have the case gone into, it might be more satisfactory to The with the examination. _pie prosecutor, a gentleman connected with the savings bank, stated that a short time back the pri soner applied at the office for a copy of the rules and regulations, which ere supplied at 2d. each. He ten dered half-a-crown in payment and received the change from a gentleman who was acting at the time as manager, and who placed the coin in the drawer with about 101. worth of silver. It was afterwards found to be a bad one, and was consequently put aside, in case the prisoner, who was immediately remembered and suspected, should present himself at the bank again. Last week the prisoner made another application for the same book, and again tendered a bad half crown in payment. He was at onceidentified by witness, who produced the former coin and placed it on the counter, et the same time taxing the prisoner with having passed it, and stating that he should send for a constable. The prisoner, without saying a word, took up the halfcrown and swallowed it ; but the counterfeit piece which he tendered on the second occasion was retained. SOUTH WALES ClRCUlT—Chester, Aug. 9. CROWN COURT.—(BeforeMr.Justice CROMPTON.) The assizes for the county of Chester commenced to-day. Mr. Justice Crompton presided in the Crown Court, and Mr. Justice Taifourd at Nisi Prius. Numerically the calendar was lighter than usual, but several of the cases, including the Stockport rioters, were of a serious character. The grand jury having been sworn, Mr. Justice CROMPTON proceeded to deliver his charge. He said be was afraid that he could not congratulate them as he had had the pleasure of doing the grand juries all around the Welsh Circuit, as to the state of crime in this county. Although there were not so many oases in the calendar as there had been on former occasions, yet it contained a con siderable number, and many of them were cases of a serious description. Among them he found that there was a very frightful case of the murder of a mother by her son, which would very likely involve the state of mind of the individual charged with the offence. After alluding to some of the genera l cases in the ca. lender, his Lordship dwelt at considerable length . on the charges arising out of the Stockport riots. He lamented extremely the disturbanc es which had re cently taken place in the large manufacturing town of Stockport. religious stnimosittos seemed to have arisen between the Roman Catholics and her M a . jeety's Protestant subjects in that town, and in some measure also a feeling of hostility between the Eeelish and the Irish existed. It was very much to be lamented that these dissen sions should occur, but it would be for the grand jury minutely to inquire into the charges preferred, to see if the law of the land had been violated and the Queen's peace broken. Probably they might find that the law had been violated on both sides, and that both these parties had brought themselves within the terms of the:statute bearing on the offence. He should not think of reminding gen tlemen like themselves that they must look at each individual case in order to see how it was made out against the respective prisoners, without any regard to what might be the individual feelings of each. Should they find the charges brought home to any of the prisoners the law must be vindicated, and the parties must be taught that we could not yield to those outrageous mobs which the laws of England so strongly deprecated. One of our late Judges had said " he thought it right to show the abhorrence with which the laws of England viewed the riotous assemblages of the people." If any portion of the community feared that their religious rights were interfered with they must be protected. The law protected them in their persons and property and in the exercise of those religious rights which were, perhaps, dearer to them than their lives—the right to worship their Maker in the form they had inherited from their fathers. In this respect the law of England placed the Roman Catholic on the same footing as the Protestant, and protected their places of religious worship. There were statutes in force particularly bearing upon their religious places of worship, and it was of importance that they should have every confidence in the just administration of the law with regard to themselves. The Roman Catholics should have confidence that the Govern ment would not interfere with them in the exercise of their religious services, and, indeed, there was the pledge of the Crown to that effect, for, on a recent occasion, warning the Roman Catholics against the violation of some particular statute, the Queen was advised to say, " Wo are resolved to protect our Roman Catholic subjects in the exercise of their reli gious rights." While they kept within the law the rights of the Roman Catholics would he as much re spected as the rights of Protestants themselves. In these cases their duty ;,would simply he to inqui re whether there had bee n a violation of any particular ) law, either on the one side or the other. The Learned Judge, in continuation, proceeded to point out the bearing of the law upon the subject. They were, perhaps, all aware that where tw o or three persons were assembled together, an d a riot took place, the law was violated, and such ap peared to have been the case as regarded the charges in question. He had not had an opp or t un it y o f re e king himself acquainted with a ll the dot ils of these alleged outrag es, end , indeed, had he done so, he should not have considered it n ecessary t o d we ll upon them before t he grand jury. If they found, as was alleged, that the persons charged had been en gaged i n pulling down . and dem o li s hi ng p l aces of re ligious worship, then In that case the persons who Mr. HALL thought that this appeared a proper case to Fend to a jury. Mr. Bellamy - bEgged his worship to bear in mind that there w_.s no evidence of the first halfcrown being the same that the pri-oner tendered. It was not marked at the time, but placed in the till among other change—not by the witness, but one of the managers of the bank. Mr. HALL—If that is so, then the prosecution cer tainly fails. The prosecutor—But if that fails with respect to the first halfcrowe, surely there is evidence enough to conlitt him of tendering the second; for the coinwas retained on the spot, and the prisoner giveninto custody. Mr. Bellamy contended that tbe prosecution in the second case could not, be supported because there was not the requisite evidence of a previous tendering or of the prisoner's having other bad money in his pos session. The prosecutor —Why, I understand he has been repeatedly in custody at this court for the same offence. Mr. HALL—Very likely, bat we cannot place that fact upon the depositions. It might be stated to the judge after the trial, but no one would be allowed to go into the witness-box and tell the jury of these cir cumstances. You see, you are compelling us to let the prisoner know the secrets of these things. The prosecutor—l am a f ra id , Sir, that the " se crets" are already known too well from the facility wbich they seem to afford for the commission of this class of offences. Mr. HALL—I cannot detain the prisoner on this evidence. The prosecutor—Then what is the use of giving a man into custody for passing bad money? Mr. HALL—The prisoner is discharged. MAR YL E II ONE. John Bollingched was charged with having stolen a quantity of saver plate, value 130/,, the property of his master, Mr. James Tilyer Blunt, of 3, Dorset square. Prosecutor, on being sworn, said—The prisoner has lived with me as footman, and as I was about to leave town I was anxious to look over the plate, and proposed that I should do so last Thursday. At the prisoner's request I postponed it until going home, I tilSaturday,on the afternoon of which day, upon my ascertained that the prisoner had absconded. I imme diately went to the plate chest and missed therefrom a great deal of the valuable property which it had contained, and upon making the discovery of my loss I gave information to the police. Mr. BROUGHTON (to the prisoner)—Have you any question to put to your master ? Prisoner—l hope he will forgive me as far as he can. I intended to have got the articles our again as soon as I could. Sergeant Kelly, 8 T—At six yesterday evening I was on duty at Brook-green, Hammersmith, when the prisoner told me that he wanted to give himself up for pledging Mr. Blunt's plate, at the same time alleging that he was very sorry for what he had done. He had with him a woman whom he said was his wife. I told him that the plate was valued at 1301. He made no observation upon my mentioning that, and I conveyed him in a cab to the Molyneux station (D nivi6ion), where he was locked up. Sergoaut Bushell, 9 D, produced no f,wor t h an 43 duplicates relating to the property which had been pledged. nli- Mr. BROUGHTON—Where did 7311 get these cater; from ? Witnesz:—From Mr. Blunt, your ship. Mr. BROUGH TON (to M. Blunt)—HONV did they . , come into your po ssess ion, sir ? Mr. Blunt — them in a drawer in the pantry. Fourteen pawnbrokers were in attendance , bringia i with them the valuable articles upon whic h they be' advanced money. The property consisted of spoon le o f , forks, ladles, candlesticks, waiters, &c. , the who which was identified be the prosecu t o r as being hi° property and that which had been stolen from his Pr e ' wises. The prisoner, on being asked if he had anythieg t° say, replied that he much regretted what h e bad beet; and that he should be able to produce money i 0 short, we time so that he might take the thi n g s out. r Mr. BROUGHTON told him that he would be COcg; mitted for trial for the robbery, but he 17th brought up again on Tuesday next, the 17tb ~l' when the whole of the depositions would be read over. tears The prisoner's wife, who was in court , was ie during the inquiry.

STOCK EXCHANGIL—The market was somewhat firmer to-day, but there was little business doing. Great Westerns were done at 99. LIVERPOOL, AUG. 9. STOCK EXCHANGE. - Our share market appears to-day'to have recovered from the depression of Friday and Saturday, but still is not strong. The unfavourable half-yearly state ments and diminished dividends of the leading railways have given a shock to public confidence, which has a depressing effect upon prices. The transactions were as follow:—East Lancashire, 1734—Lancashire and Yorkshire, 8 1 1 4 —Ditto, Preference, 6 per cent., 15 1 / B —London and North-Western, 125 1 / 2 —Ditto, New Quarters, 31y8—Ditto, Fifths, 4y 2 Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolishire, 32 V 8 —Midland, 73% —South-Eastern and Dover, 20 3 4. MANCHESTER, Aua. 9. _ STOCK EXCHANGE.—The share market opened well this morning, but declined in a slight degree towards its close. The transactions reported were—Leeds, 80%—Sheffields, 333/4—Midlands, 73%—East Lancashire, 17 1 4—Ditto, Pre frence, Quarters, 9y4--Eastern Counties, I.o%—Caledonians, 20 ii—Leeds, Fifths, 43 1 8 dis.— Uanchester and Birming ham (C).

The inconvenience from the di isturbance in the copper-market is still felt, but in all other branches of manu facture there is full employment. The constant appearance o f articles of new des i g n is stated as one of the consequences of the Exhibit ion of 1851. In the woollen districtsseciences u the transactions have been numerous,not quite although • te to the same extent as in the preceding week, and prices are firm. The export trade is considerable, and the American orders At larger than usual. Nottingham there has been no par ticular alteration, but the Australian shipments create stea diness. The Irish linen market has been rather dull. THE AMERICAN WHEAT HAEXEST.—The harvest is in great part gathered even as far north as Wisconsin ; and in quantity and qua lity the wheat generally exceeds the yield of average yars. Exceptions to this fact are merely local, and in the estimate of the aggregate crop hardly worth considering.--New York Journal of Commerce, r - • - " A 4 NOVE:
