GOOD NEWS POE.

Rut to speak plainly, in the rural districts they mty marry as s eon as they please —to young set tlers of fortune (in live stock) ; to the sons of comfort able farmers and Squatters, and to colonial servants, according to their rank. A. separate division is appro priatsd to the single 'women on board ship.—Sidney's Emigrant's Journal, FRANCE. Three thousand labourers assembled in the Champ de Mars on Tuesday morning, and from thence pro ceeded to the hotel of M. Vivien, the Minister of Public Works, to demand of him to be allowed to assist in the works at present being executed in the Champ de Mars. A delegation was received by M. Vivien, who explained to them how much he regretted that he: could not grant their requests, as the works in question were being executed by the Minister of War. The men then retired without manifesting any displeasure and separated peaceably. It is announced, that Admiral Baudin has pro ceeded to Tunis with two frigates, in consequence of the Bey of Tunis having refused to acknowledge the French Republic. _ _ _ M. Cabet, the Chief of the Icarian Communists, was sentenced by the Court of Correctional Police of Paris, on Wednesday, t o one mont h' s imprisonment, for having had in Isis possessi on 14 mus k e t s an d a quantity of ammunition. The commission appointed by th e N at i ona l As sembly to examine the decree defining the responsi bility of the President of the Republic and his Ministers has already held four meetings. The Com mission has resolved that " the President's responsi bility shall not be a vain word. Whoever shall be President the law will surround him with such a number of precautions and guarantees that the National Assembly cannot be deprived of any portion of the national sovereignty." The Commission has resolved to class any intervention, however inoffen sive, of the President of the Republic, or his Ministers at elections, amongst the crimes against the nation. The Commission has, more over, adopted measures to prevent and punish any attempt to exercise an influence by corruption amongst the members of the National Assembly. It has also introduced an i mprovement of vast im portance. Whilst it permits every citizen to bring an action against the First M ag i s t ra t e o f t h e Re public and his Ministers, the latter is to have a right to cite the plaintiff directly before the High Court of Justice as a calumiator. A jury shall be summoned to give a verdict at the same time on the original complaint and on the charge of calumny. By a decree, dated the 11th, the Chief of the Exe cutive Government nominates the following citizens to be members of the committee to superintend and direct the management of the Sinking Fund and the Caisse des Depots et Consinations—viz., MM. Gond chaux, Duclere, and Berryer, representatives of the people; De Gasq, President of the Court of Ac counts; D'Argout, Governor of the Bank of France; Legen til, President of the Chamber of Commerce ; Marchand and Lesseps, Councillors of State ; and Montanier, " Directeur Mouvement General des Fonds." FRANKFORT. In the sitting of the German Parliament on the 13th, the affairs of Berlin were the subject of discussion. No less than six motions and amendments were read, some calling upon the Central Executive to command the immediate suspension of the unconstitutional acts of the Crown ; this was the motion of the Left. On the ocher side an amendment was proposed to the effect that the Executive, in the performance of its duties, should " provide for the general welfare and safety of Germany, and see that the legal delibera tions of the B er li n A s sembly might recommence as soon as possible unhindered by dangers from above or from below. Before the reading of these motions and . amend ments, M. Sohmerling rose to give some explana tions upon the subject. The communications between Frankfort and Berlin, he said, had always been of the most important character. A great deal had been done to preserve a good understanding of both Powers by correspondence in writing. But the Cabinet of the Reichsverweser bad considered it better to dis patch M. Basserrnann, Under-Secretary of State, for the purpose of settling personally divers subjects connected with their mutual negotiations. For this object, and for none other, had M. Bassermann been sent to Berlin. M. Sohmerling denied that M. Bas sermann's advice had helped to produce the present acts of that Government. He could not, at present, make public the instructions given to the Under. Secretary of State; but he would be ready to show to any committee the House pleased to nominate those instructions, and the dispatch he had sent after him on Sunday to Berlin, as also M. Bassermann's first dispatch received late the previous night. M. Beseler moved, that, "considering the declara tions and offers of the Minister of the Interior, all propositions on the subject should be handed over to the Committee for M. Biedermann's motion (made on the 7th), and that a report of this Corn mittee be delivered by to-morrow morning." M. Beseler stated that it was desirable that the National Assembly should come to an unanimous vote on the subject. This motion of M. Beseler was carried, and the sitting was immediately brought to a close to give the Committee time to deliberate. ITALY. A letter from Rome of the 4th says :—" An im portant financial measure, which has long been in contemplation, is at last decided upon, and brought into action. The clergy offers to the Government a voluntary contribution of 4,000,000 piastres, about 26,000,000 francs, payable by fifteen annual instalments, viz., ten of 300,000 pi as t res , an d fi ve of 200,000 each. The temporal interest of the clergy dictated this concession, which at the same time is consistent with jus'ice and equity, as it is fitting that in a public crisis the church should give extraordinary support, as expressed by his Holiness, in his autograph rescript of the 28th ult., to Cardinal Orioli, signifying his acceptance of the gift. A Ministerial ordonnance, of the 29th April in the present year, gave warrant for the issue of Treasury Bonds to the amount of 2,500,000 piastres. There are bonds in circulation to the amount of 2,465,000 piastres, and the remaining 35,000 will be issued before the end of the year. These bonds, which have a forced currency, bear 31 per cent. interest, and are charged upon the church property at the pro rata of 2,000, piastres." LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 16. TIE ATTORNEY•GENERAL P. THE MAYOR AND CORPO RATION OF THE CITY OF LONDON. ?fr. TURNER (with whom was Mr. MAUL;), on behalf of the Attorney-General, asked leave to file exceptions to the answer of the defendants. A demurrer had been put in, and had been overruled, and the time for filing exceptions had expired. Mr. BETRELL (with whom was Mr. RANDELL) said that this was an application to the discretion of the Court. An answer had been put in, and no exceptions taken. As that had not been done it was too late to complain that the answer was insufficient. Lord LANGDALE said he did not wish to impute a liti gious objection to the defendants; the question was not whether he should grant an indulgence to the Attorney- General, but whether he should deprive him of his right. He considered this as an application of course, and must grant it. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 16. (Sittings in Banco.) WEE OF DRUNSWICIL V. GREGORY. In this case a rule had been obtained calling upon the defendant to show cause why the judgment roll should not be amended, by striking out the judgment as it stands, and inserting the judgment pronounced by the Court. An indictment for libel was preferred by the prosecutor against the defendant in the year 1145, upon which the defendant was convicted, and sentenced to be imprisoned for six months. The defendant underwent two months' imprisonment, and then put in bail, and as signed errors, which had been argued before the Court in error. The indictment against the defendant con tained several counts, some of which did not charge a publication which amounted to libel, but when the roll was drawn up the judgment was entered generally, in stead of being entered upon each count. Application was afterwards made to Mr. Justice Patteson, who tried the case, to amend the rule, but that Learned Judge considernd that he bad no power to do so, and re commended the motion upon which the rule nisi was granted. - Mr. CROWDER, Q.C., and Mr. PEACOCK now showed cause against th e ru l e , an d contended that the judgment having been pronounced and entered on the roll, it could not be altered, especially as it did not appear the Learned Judge had made any note of the way in which he pronounced judgment. To make the rule absolute would be in effect to pronounce a different sentence to that which it appeared from the roll had been pro nounced at the trial. Mr. SNow, in support of the rule, referred to a case in which an amendment had been made after argument in the court of error. The Learned Counsel also stated that the Master of the Crown-office had taken a minute of the judgment as actually delivered, and argued that the amendment might be made according to those minutes. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said there was an early case in which an amendment was made upon the recollection of the judge who pronounced the sentence. The minute of the judgment made by the Master of the Crown.office was then produced, when it appeared by it that judgment had been correctly pronounced "on each and every count of the indictment." Lord DENMAN-4 think the defect is now supplied. We now see that the sentence was "upon each and every count of the indictment." After the case of the " Queen v. O'Connell," Mr. Justice Patteson adopted on circuit the preient method of pronouncing judgment in order to remove objections, and we have always since done the same in respect of such indictments. This rule proves judgment was so pronounced in the present case. The roll must, therefore, be amended.—Rule absolute. BAIL COURT, Nov. 16. (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) TUE QUEEN b. BENNETT. Mr. HORNZ said he was instructed, in the case of "The Queen on the prosecution of the managers and trustees of the Margate Savings Bank v. Bennett," to move that the defendant be admitted to bail. The charge against him wag that of obtaining the sum of 32/. 13s. by false pretences. On being brought before the magistrates they remanded him; and under the authority of a recent statute they admitted him to bail pending such rerand. NEW TRIAL PIPER. STANDISH V. ROSS.—BANKRUPT LAWS. This action was tried at the Liverpool summer assizes, 1847, before Mr. Baron Rolfe, when the plaintiff was aonsuited, leave being reserved to him to move to have the verdict entered for him. A motion to that effect was made in Michaelmas 1847, when a rule nisi was granted, which came on fur argument to-day. The facts were theset—Ross, the defendant, bad obtained a judgment for 1591. against a trader in Manchester, named Hignett, and put the writ of execution, on Saturday, the 25th April, 1846, into the office of the plaintiff, who.was the High Sheriff of Lancashire, and who immediately gave it to an officer to execute. The officer went to Hignett's house that day about one o'clock, and found it shut ; but as it was not an unusual circumstance in that town for tradesmen to close their warehouse about one o'clock on Saturdays, to go into the country, his suspicions were not excited, and he came on the Monday, when he found the house again shut, and learned that Hignett had that very morning committed an act of bankruptcy. He then refrained from enforcing the execution, and informed the execu tion creditor, Ross, of the facts, who, however, insisted on the sheriff enforcing the execution. After some de mur on the part of the plaintiff, and threats by the de fendant's attorney if the execution were not enforced, the plaintiff sent the officer again on the 11th of May, who effect( d a seizure and sale, and levied the amount of the execution, which was handed over to Ross. Soon after a fiat was issued against Hignett, and his assignees in due time sued the plaintiff for the proceeds of the sale, on the ground that by the fiat being sued out within the time limited by law after the act of bankruptcy, and no tice of that act before the levying of the execution, the goods became theirs by relation. They recovered, and the plaintiff paid them, and then sued Ross for money had and received. At the trial it was contended that it was the duty of the bailiff to have executed the writ on the Saturday, and that all the subsequent proceedings and the defeat of the defendant's execution were owing to that officer's neglect or laches on that occasion ; and, that therefore the plaintiff ought not to make the defendant pay for what was substantially his own default. There was a nonsuit entered,as before stated, and now the question of the plaintiff's right to recover was argued for upwards of four hours, by Mr. Atherton and Mr. Unthank, for the defendant ; and Mr. Martin and Mr. Addison, for the plaintiff. For the defendant it was contended, as at the trial, that the plaintiff was guilty of laches in not break ing into the warehouse on the Saturday and levying, and that as the plaintiff had made a return that he had levied and satisfied the execution, so long as that return remained on the records of the court, his (the defend ant's) rightof proceeding spinet Hignett was suspended, and that the plaintiff should, therefore, before he sued the defendant, have replaced him in the position in which he was before the execution was levied, by applying to have the ret urn amen d ed. For the plainti ff it was re plied that the bailiff was not bound to break open the s w i d a r e e r h whatou s e h a e t OnCe should , a h n a d d t h a a treasonable e time e t o g u c i o l n t y of 'aches, the defendant should have sued the plaintiff for negligence, and not set it up as a defence to this action, and that the plaintiff's return on the writ did not prevent the defendant from suing out another writ of execution ; and, further, that as the defendant had notice of Hignett's act of bankruptcy, and by the eubse quent issuing of the fiat against that person his goods became by relation the goods of his assignees from the 27th of April, the defendant was bound to hand back the money which he so improperly received. The Court took time to con:rider. SHERIFFS' COURT, Nov. 16. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.) HOLMES V. THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. In this case, which had not concluded when our report left, the jury retired at four o'clock, and, after an ab sence of snore than an hour, returned into court with a •esdict for the plaintiff for the full amount, 61. lOs., on the ground that there were no specific fines in the rules. The Learned UNDER-SIIERIFF, on the suggestion of Mr. Helps, asked whethor, i❑ the opinion of the jury, the plaintiff had broken any of the rules. Several members of the jury said that they found that he had not brokea the rules; some others said the ques ion was not decided. The verdict was then recorded as given. The case occupied the Court until past fire o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Yesterday Mr. Charles Mayer, of 26, Mark-lane, merchant, was summoned before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, under the following circumstances:-- From the evidence of Mr. Lewis flermanny, of Ham burgh (through his 'interpreter, Mr. Charles Sturm, of St. Bennett's-place), it appeared that in the early part of September last the defendant entered into an arrange ment with the complainant to be supplied with gold chains, brooches, trinkets, and other things, to the amount of between 5001. and 600/. At the time it was agreed that he (the defendant) was to take half on his own responsibility, for which he gave two bills, of three and six months respectively, and the remainder were to be forwarded overland to Calcutta, and if not dis- posed of then they were to be returned at the end of twelve months. The articles were forwarded on the Bth of September, by the John Bull steamer, but shortly after, in consequence of the bills retur n i ng t o Hamburgh from London protested, he became anxious about his property, and at once eame to this country. When he called on Mr. Mayer he said he should like to have his property back, upon which the defendant said he could not have it as it had already been shipped on board the Colombo, Captain Ritchie, for Calcutta. The complainant then asked for something as a collateral security in case the bills were not taken up; when Mr. Mayer gave him a warrant for two cases of goods, which he represented were worth 1501., but on going to examine them afterwards they were found to contain nothing but bunting. The war rant was given to him on Monday last, and on Tuesday would pay his expenses, discovered the defendant said that as h e h a d b een at so much trouble theiv give goodshim and d t g coming n T oTer ue h sda ewld y were lying at Nicholson's Wharf, in the name of Brown, and that when they were 80 deposited a delivery warrant was given which would enable the parties to sell the goods in this country. Under those circumstances the defendant was summoned. Mr. Humphreys cross-examined Mr. Hermanny at some length, but did not succeed in materially altering the above facts. Alderman GIBIB asked Mr. Humphreys what defence he had to make? Mr. Humphreys said he contended that the goods were not obtained under false pretences, and even sup posing they had, the transaction took place at Ham burgh, which was not within the jurisdiction of the ma gistrates here. Whatever happened in London, or anywhere else, was not a false pretence if used after the goods had been obtained. If at the time of ob taining, a false representation had been made, then it would be very different; but there was no proof of that. If any proceedings were taken at all it should be at Elamburgh. He also wished further to impress on the mind of the Alderman, that according to the law of evi dence laid down in " Archbold's Criminal Proceedings," 'my false representation of what shall be done hereafter is not in law a false pretence, but a mere promise of Future conduct. To amount to false pretence, the misre presentation must relate to some existing or past fact. Alderman GIBBS intimated that it approached the 51st section of Peel's Act, which forbade an agent to appropriate to his own use the goods of a principal. B e should like to hear from the persons at Nicholson's Wharf all that had taken place with respect to these goods; and therefore the case stood remanded until to morrow (this day), but be should require Mr. Mayer to enter into his own recognizauce of 2001., and one surety of 100/., for his appearance. The required bail being given, the defendant was allowed to depart. BOW-STREET. ROBBERIES BY A SERVANT. — Yesterday a young fe male, named Anne London, who had been within the last few days in the service of Mr. John Cooke, of Cumber land grove-place, Camberwell, was brought up in the custody of Thompson, a serjeant of the F division, and placed at the bar, charged with th e f o ll ow i ng robberies:— Mrs. Fulley, landlady of the Salisbury Hotel and Coffee- hot's*, in St. Martin's-lane, stated that the pri soner came to lodge at her house on Monday week last, a4d left ou the Saturday following, without, however, giving any notice of her intention. There was no other lodger in her house at tho time, and in the afternoon she missed the time-piece produced, value 305., from a room in the upper part of the house. Henry Wood, pawnbroker, 64, High-street, B'oongs bury, said that the time-piece was pledged to him on the 11th instant for 3s. by the prisoner, who gave the name of Anne Smith, and said it was her property. serjeant Thompson proved that when he apprehended When, however, he appeared a second time before the same magistrates they committed him for trial at the they were afraid of the responsibility of doing so. The usual notice had been given to the attorney for the pro secution of this intended application, and a letter had been received from him since, stating that he had no in tention to oppose the application. At the suggestion of the COURT, a rule was granted for a certiorari to bring up the depositions, and a rule nisi to admit the defendant to bail. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 16. (Sittings in Banco.) BLACK V. HUIIFREYS. The plaintiff obtained, in the autumn of 1845, an, allotment of twenty shares in the Dorking, Brighton, and Arundel Atmospheric Railway Company, and before he paid his deposit received on the 25th November a letter from the secretary stating that the managing committee had undertaken to expend on preliminary expenses more tha❑ 7s. 6d. per share, without the previous sanction of a public meeting of the shareholders. The defendant thereupon paid a deposit of two guineas a share. He never applied for scrip nor received any, nor signed aay agreement, and the project having become abortive, be now sought in this action to recover from one of the managing committee 351. 103., the balance of his deposit minus the 7s. 6d. per share, which he admitted might have been applied to preliminary expenses. At the trial at the sittings during this term, before Mr. Baron Platt, it was submitted by the defendant's counsel that the case of "Clement v. Todd," 1 Exchequer Reports, 268, in which it was held that a person who received and acted on scrip stating " that the subscribers' agreement and Parliamentary contract had been signed by" the person to whom the certificate was issued, was in the same posi tion so far as regarded the company as if he had signed those instruments, applied to this case, and thereupon the Learned Judge directed a nonsuit, reserving leave to the plaintiff to have the verdict entered for him. Mr. KNOWLES now moved accordingly, pointing out the difference between the position of the plaintiff in this case and the plaintiff in that, and obtained a rule nisi. MARYLEBONE. STEALING A. CHEQUE.—Yesterday a young man named Alfred Cummins, the son of a master baker re siding at Hampstead, was placid at the bar before Mr. Long for final examination, charged with having stolen a cheque for Si. upon Straban and Co., bankers. From what transpired upon the former and present occasions, it appeared that on the 31st ult. Elizabeth Moody, cook to Captain Hamilton, Downshire-hill, Hampstead, received from her master for wages and other monies due to her a cheque for the above amount. She went to the house of the prisoner's father, who served the family, in order to get it cashed, when she saw Mrs. Cusramins, who was not able just then to ac commodate her. She left the house, when the prisoner whom she bad seen in the shop, followed her and having offered to obtain change for her she gave up the said cheque to him, but saw no more of him until he was taken into custody on Thursday, 9th instant, by a con stable of the S division, who found upon him several so vereigns and time silver. The cheque was produced, and it was shown that the prisoner had on the day he ob tained it received cash fur it from Mr. Avann, landlord of the King of Bohemia, Hampstead, and who had paid it in the course of business to a collector belonging to the firm of Barclay and Co., the brewers.—The prisoner was committed for trial. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—George Alexander Cooper was charged with having stolen paintings and other property of different descriptions to the amount of 401., belonging to Mr. Theodore Richards, residing at 5, Bowling-street, near this court.] The evidence, which was but briefly gone into, was to the effect that the prisoner had been employed at the house to do some paperhanging. &c., and that after he had completed his job, and left, the property in question was misral. He (prisoner) was ultimately captured, and in his possession was found a duplicate relating to a pipe, which prosecutor swore to as being his. In order to afford time for further inquiry the prisoner was remanded for a week. Daniel Gsey was further examined on a charge of having stolen a scarf, value 305., the property of a per son named Davis. It appeared that the prisoner, who had watched for a favourable opportunity, ran into the shop, No.l, Princess street, Portman-market, when he snatched up the article, which was at the lower end of the counter, and made off with it. He was pursued, and then got clear off, but was afterwards taken into custody while in the company of a number of well known thieves. The prisoner had upon a former °cession been convicted of felony. The Magistrate sent him to Newgate for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OF CONSPIRING TO DEFRAUD.—Mrs. Raba% off erwise Knight, of Arabella-row, Pimlico, and Jernsyn street, brush and sponge dealer, was brought before Mr. Biegham, to undergo another examination, on a charge of having derranded Mr. Mark Davis, sponge merchant, of Duke•street, Aldgate, of about 50/. worth of sponges. The charge was, in the first instance, attempted to be made one of forgery and felony; but as the evidence did not sustain it, the case yesterday was brought forward in the form of a charge of conspiracy. Mr. Huddlestone was for the prosecution, and Mr. Austin for the prisoner. Mr. BINGPIAM asked Mr. Huddlestone how he proposed to frame the indictment for conspiracy. Mr. Huddlestone said the indictment would run in this firm—that the prisoner, with other parties, by un due means and devices, conspired to defraud certain tradesmen of their goods, and among others the prose cutor Mark Davis. The prisoner had made two false representations in order to obtain goods. First, o.ihe re presented herselr to be Mrs. Knight, the ownellsf the two shops, whereas her former husband, Knig t, had been dead for some years, and she was married to a per son named Habett; next, that her daughter, a girl of about sixteen years of age, was her agent, placed in the shop in Jermyn-street by herself, and accountable to her. The plaintiff, Davis, believing that he was dealing with Mrs. Knight, the owner of the two shops, furnished goods to the amount of 501., and took a bill at four months' date, which bill was accepted by the daughter for her mother. The bill was dishonoured, and when proceedings were about to be taken plaintiff encoun tered this dilemma:—The daughter said, "If you sue me, I shall plead my minority;" and the mother said, "-It you proceed against me, I shall plead coverture." Mr. Austin said he had a sufficient answer to the charge if the magistrates would allow him to examine Mr. Davis as to the particulars of the transaction. Mr. Mark Davis said he called at the shop in Arabella row, where the name of Knight was over the door, and he showed the prisoner samples of his goods. The pri soner said she could take some, but could not pav cash down. Plaintiff said he did not mind giving three or four months' credit provided he had a satisfactory refer ence. The prisoner then gave him a card, with the name of Knight upon it, and referred him to Messrs. Howell and James, of Regent -street. Plaintiff called on Mr. Howell, and was so satisfied with the reference that he called again on the prisoner, and told her she might have goods on credit. The prisoner came to his warehouse, in Duke-street, and took away 501. worth of sponges. Plaintiff afterwards called on her, with a bill of exchange, and the prisoner sent him with it to her other shop, in Jermyn-street, with a message that her daughter there was to accept the bill for her. Plaintiff asked the meaning of this, and the prisoner said it was the way in which she usually did business; that she kept on the shop in Jermyn-street because it was so well known, and had been so long established. Plaintiff went to Jermyn-street, accompanied by a man whom he believed te be the shopman, and there saw the daughter who said it was all right, and that she would accept the bill for her mother. The daughter accepted the bill, and wrote the name of F. M. Knight. The bill was never paid. Plaintiff throughout was led to believe be was dealing with Mrs. Knight, the owner of the two shops. He would not have parted with his goods in the way he did to the daughter nor to the prisoner, had he known she was a married woman. Mr. BINGHAM asked the solicitor if he did not think he had extracted enough to show that the case ought to be submitted to a jury? Mr Austin said he owned the case, as stated by the plaintiff, did look like a fraud; but he had evidence to disprove what bad been stated. Mr. BINGHAM said it was not his province to try the case. It was enough for him if prima facie evidence of fraui was produced to send the case to a superior court. Mr. Austin said he could prove that the plaintiff was warned, if he took a bill accepted in the name of Knight, that it would not be paid. Nlr. BIN GHAM—And do you say that after this the plaintiff was venturesome enough to take it? Mr. Aus tin—Yes. Mr. BlNGHA M — Considering the plaintiff's persuasion and the ordinary habits of mercantile men, I am of opi nion that such a circumstance is so wholly out of the course of nature and probability, that I shall be doing right to send the case before a jury. The depositions were ordered to be taken on Monday next. There are a great number of similar cases against the prisoner. CLERKEIV WELL. A HEARTLESS VAQABOND.—John Barrymore„a felloW of Jewish appearance, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged by Mr. John Elliott, of No. 4, York Cottages, Downham-road, Islington, with the following heartless and impudent robbery:-- It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Elliott that he held a situation in the Accountant's office of Excise. On Wednesday morning, about eight o'clock, he pro ceeded thither in order to attend to his duties, when he observed the prisoner following him. About half-past ten o'clock, his brother-in-law and some friends drove up in a cabriolet to the Excise-office, tieing very much excited and alarmed, and inquired for him, and making his appearance, he shook bands with them, and was surprised at their sudden and unexpected visit, when his brother-in-law ex pressed his astonishment, and exclaimed, " Good Godl are you alive and well? We thought you were killed! Have you not been run over by an omnibus?" Witness manifested equal astonishment, and inquired the reason why they put such questions, assuring them that he was never better in all his life, and was free from accident. He was then informed that his wife and daughter were almost heart-broken at having received intelligence that he had been knocked down and run over by an omnibus in Bishopsgate•street, and his wife had accompanied them in the cabriolet. He instantlyjgot into the vehicle and . returned to his residence, when they arrivel just in time to meet the prisoner, who caused all this excitement and alarm, coming from the house with a large bundle of clothes, which he had ob tained from Miss Elliott, his daughter, under a false pretence, when he was given into custody and taken to the station-house. It appeared that after the prisoner had followed and watched Mr. Elliott to the Excise office he paid a visit to his house, and informed his wife and daughter that he bad been run over by an omnibus in Biehopsgate-street, and nearly killed, and he was a.nxious to see her (\lrs. Elliott) immediately. She ac cordingly started off instanter, having thauksd the pri soner for ha kindness and trouble. He subsequently called again at the house, and saw Miss Elliott, fourteen years of age, whom he told that her father had desired him to request her to send him a coat, waistcoat, trousers, and boots, which she was to wrap up in a silk handkerchief. She could not find a handkerchief', but she handed them to the prisoner, and he left the house with the property. She saw no more of him until her father came home with her uncle and her mother, when they met the prisoner who was recognised by her mother, who gave him into custody. Miss Louisa Margaret Elliott, the daughter,confirmed this evidence, and identified the prisoner. Mr. TYRWRITT said it was a most heartless transac tion, and he should commit the prisoner for trial; he cautioned him that he was not bound to say anything, if he did, it would be taken down in writing, and might be used for or against him at hii trial. The prisoner, who seemed rather chap-fallen, reserved his defence. the prisoner on Sunday evening, she said she had burned sevoral rnln}inn• t- , •-r 1 - ;': - Utlci her house on the 6th iustant, leaving her infant chil dren entirely helpless, she herself being absent from the house at the time, without giving her any notice, and she never saw her again until she was in custody. On look. ing over the house she missed silver table spoons, des sert spoons, tea spoons, a toast rack, forks, and, from the closet, a quantity of plated articles, with wearing app,rel from her drawers. The property was found pledged in York-street, Westminster, and High-street, Kensington. Thompson said the prisoner admitted having destroyed the duplicates relating to the property in question. In answer to the Court, Mrs. Cooke said that she had received a character from the prisoner's family, which is very respectable, in the neighbourhood. Thompson said the prisoner had been convicted of felony on a former occasion. The prisoner declined saying anything in her de. fence, and she was fully committed to Newgate on both charges. ,737 7,259 MEMORANDA. BY GEORGE OF J. 0. "Notes, notes, forsooth, and noting!" SHAILSPERE, " Nunc est libendum—nunc pods Libero pulsanda tellus." HAYDN. Like many men of ardent imagination and honourable ambition, Haydn was destined to await for many a weary day the time when his fame as a composer should be established, not only in a commercial point of view, but as an adequate return for his mental industry. One of his earliest bargains for the copyright of his compo sitions was made with Forster (ot the famous firm ot Croysaill and Forster), the violoncello maker. The agreement was drawn up and entered into on behalf of Haydn by Count von Sweiten, with John Ashley the elder on the part of Forster, and was couched in the fol lowing terms:—" Whereas Joseph Haydn of Vienna is about to sell certain musical compositions to William Forster of London, and as the said Joseph Haydn is a composer of no celebrity, he agrees to furnish the said William Forster with sonatas, quartetts, and sinfonias at hall the usual price that is demanded by authors of repute for such compositions!" We really do not know which to admire the most—the easy and quiet way in which Haydn endured the indignity of such an agree went, or the meansouled display of the two Englishmen —Arcades ambo—who could dictate to a man of intellect and genius so humiliating a proposal, though Haydn might well plead the same reason us the poor famished Apothecary— • " My poverty and not my will consents." FRENCH IDEAS OF ENGLISH MUSICAL TASTE. In La France Musicale (the leading musical organ in Paiis), some ten years agone, the satirical editor (M.

A. ROSSINI. The celebrated air in Tancredi " Di tanti palpiti" is called in Italy the aria di rizi, and this term originated thus:—Rossini—the great scene painter, as Beethoven allied him—bad composed for Tancredi a grand mor ceau d'entrie which Signora Malinotte, the prima donna, had rejected. The cantatrice having declared that she would not sing it only two days before the announced performance of the opera, the then young composer returned to his hotel in despair, but, nevertheless, set down at table to his repast with a but little lessened ap petite. At that time, as is well known it is now, most din ners commence with a dish of rice, which is but slightly cooked, so that only four minutes before it is ser►ed up the cook is accustomed to put the important question, "Bisognomettere i rizi?" The query was put to Rossini, the rice put to the fire, and before it was ready he had written this famous air. This is the Italian version of the story, and hence the nomenclature aria di rizi. But there is another anecdote in circulation among the Italian cognoscenti, which, if true, bruises on the heel of Rossini sorely, and destroys at once his claim to the authorship of this, ono of his most charming and most popular melodies. A composer, much esteemed at Flo rence during the first half of the eighteenth century, by name Barron', lost all at once, like our lamented, oar illustrious Beethoven, his hearing. All the physicians of the place were in turn consulted, but if we may credit the facetious Boileau, Florence was never celebrated for a successful cultivation of the Art of which Hippocrates may be considered the presiding genius, for he says somewhere, " Dans Florence jadis vivait un medecin Savant hilbleur, dit on, et célèbre assassin ;" which may admit of the following paraphrase: "In Florence, a physician once there lived Who more by killing than by saving thrived ;" and though Barroni came across many of these saran, the extreme unction was rendered unnecessary in his case, and in despair of meeting w ith a cure h e set out on a pilgrimage to Notre Dame de Misericorde at Loretti, a very fashionable procedure in those golden days. There, it is related, a miracle was wrought on his behalf, but whether from the effects of his pilgrimage I must leave in nubibus. Nevertheless he recovered, somehow or another, his sense of hearing, for which interposition on his behalf he composed a choral hymn in praise of the Holy Mother. This, under the title of " Litanie della Santa Casa," was performed on the 15th of August, 1737, for the first time. This litany is repeated annually at the feast of the Annunciation; and it is strenuously asserted by Rossini's detractors that he, when at the Notre Dame de Loretto was so powerfully struck by the beauty of the cantilena that he noted it down and intro duced it into his Tancredi. " When Greek meets Greek," &c., is well understood. So even let the Ros sinists and Anti-Rossinists urge and support their several arguments pro and con. as they best can. I think myself the air bears almost indisputable evidence of being the production of Rossini—though I must add, A MUSICIAN. ALLNIANN. No. 11. HANDEL. This immortal composer possessed hands of an ex traordinary size, so fat, indeed, were th e y th a t th e knuckles, ,which generally appear convex, were like those of a chubby child, dimpled, so as to be rendered concave; and yet his touch was so smooth that his fingers seemed—like the fabled Centaur was believed to have partaken as much of the nature of horse as man—a portion of the keys themselves, so gentle and yet bring ing out each note so distinctly and with such perfect aplomb. He was accustomed to wear a white wig of an enormous size, eclipsing by far Lablache's famous Don Pasquale peruke—and when all went on satisfactorily in the orchestra it had a certain vibration or nod, which manifested its wearer's inward satisfaction and approvaL It is said that the leader always kept an anxious look-out at this point d'attraction4and unless this gyratory move ment were visible, nice observers were always sure that his " inward man" was irritated. If all accounts are true, Handel had not a little of the bon vivant in his composition. An amusing anecdote is related of his love of good cheer both liquid and solid. During the oratorio season he used frequently to invite the principal performers engaged on his sublime crea tions to his house in Brook-street. One evening, being at dinner, it was observed the composer frequently ex claimed, " Och! I haf de taught!" Whenever this oc curred the company, out of deference to his genius, and naturally unwilling that, from civility or etiquette to them, the public should lose anything of so much value as his musical ideas, always begged that he would retire and commit them to paper. With this request, after a proper display of reluctance and hesitation on each oc casion, our composer so frequently complied, that the suspicions of some of them became at length aroused, and one of the most curious among them unluckily peeped through the keyhole into the adjoining room, wherein he perceived at once the object for which Handel had "de taught," and this was nothing less than a hamper of choice Burgundy which, as was subsequently dis covered, had been only just presented to him by his friend and patron, Lord Radnor; our bon vivant not being, we suppose, quite content with the " humble port" which he placed before his guests, was quaffing magnum after magnum of this more treasured beverage. And if not from the effects of his " potations pottle deep," quite plenus veteris Bacchi, was, nevertheless, suf ficiently so, to judge from his gyrations, to realise the lines of Ovid: LAMBEH. SAD REVERSEL—Amongst the applicants for assist ance to Mr. Norton was the once celebrated Miss Ducrow, who some years ago had charmed the hearts of half the play-going young men in the metropolis by her extraordinary feats in horsemanship at the theatre of her brother, the late Andrew Ducrow. From the statement of the poor creature it appeared that thirteen years ago she married Mr. Broadfoot, theta her brother's prompter, who treated her with kindness until the death of her brother; but since that time bia conduct towards her had been quite the reverse, and he ultimately left her to live with another woman. Owing to his desertion, and her being unable to obtain anything to do in her profession, she was reduced to such an extre— mity as to be obliged to go to Lambeth workhouse and be— come an inmate there for some time. She left the work— house in the hope that her mother would allow her to live in her apartments, or give her shelter, but this she refused to do. She then applied to Mr. Cope, one of the reliev— ing efficers of Lambeth parish, for relief, but he refused. to give her any, and she was at that moment in the greatest state of destitution. In reply to the questions of the MAGISTRATE, the ap plicant said her brother had died possessed of consider— able property, which he left to his wife, formerly Miss Woolford, and who since his decease again got married to Mr. Mayhew Andrews. He had, however, settled a• weekly stipend on his mother of 305., and the sum was paid to her every Monday morning. The last time the applicant heard of her husband he was stage manager at a theatre in Glasgow, where he no doubt had i. good salary. Mr. NORTON directed that 10s. be at once given to. the poor woman for her immediate relief, and that a. communication should be made to the husband, with the view of compelling him to provide for her maintenance.

London: Printed and Published by M uRDO YOUNG, of No. 112, Strand, Printer, at The Sun Offiee, No. 112, Strand, in the Precinct of the Say oy, is the ccunty of Middlesex., Friday, November 17, Ve•4B. Sergeant Gearing, 16 N, said that numerous robberies ii• CotC ot Islington, and he had no doubt, if the prisoner was remanded to a future day, he should be enabled to bring forward other charges against him. Mr. l i n:maul' remanded him accordingly. Charles Turner was charged with stealing several quart and pint pewter pots, the property of licensed victuallers of Islington and Stoke Newington. Sergeant Gearing, 16 N, stopped the prisoner in Ball's pond-road, Islington, with a bundle, when suspecting bim, he questioned him. He said the bundle contained turnery, but on examining it he found four pint and six quart pewter pots, belonging to Mr. Field, of Stoke New ington, and other licenseed victuallers of Islington, &c., when he took him to the station-house. Mr. Field and others identified the property. The prisoner said distress urged him to the robbery. He was fully committed for trial. Yesterday William Yarmouth SOUTHWARK was brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged with excessive cruelty to Sarah Manning, and striking her with a red hot poker. The complainant, a girl of 12 years of age, stated that she lived with her aunt, who was the prisoner's mother —that he was in the habit of using her very cruelly on any occasion on which he was displeased with her—that a few days ago he beat her severely with a cane, the marks of which were visible on her shoulders and arms. On the preceding night, owing to harhaving been longer in performing an errand than he thought she should be t he pulled the poker out of the fire and struck her with it on the bare neck. She now exhibited the wound in. flicted by the instrument, which was sore and inflamed. The prisoner said the girl was very bad tempered, anti that he had the permission of her mother to chastise her when she did wrong—that she was in the habit of loitering and playing when sent on errands, and that in order to break her of it he admitted that he had cor rected her. Mr. COTTINGHAM—Bat a red hot poker is not the proper instrument to correct a little girl; it shows that you must be a man of a most vicious disposition. Prisoner—l did not think the poker was hot at the time, or I should not have done it. Mr. COTTINGHAM advised the mother of the girl to take her away from the presence of a man, and that man a relative, who could act with such cruelty as to use a red hot poker iu correcting her for a trivial fault. The magistrate then inflicted a fine of 40s. on the prisoner, and in default committed him for twenty-one days. Patrick Shaughnessy, an Irish piper, was charged with being intoxicated sad knocking at people's doors at an unreasonable hour of the night. A policeman said, that on the previous night he saw the defendant lying on the pavement in High-street, and his bagpipes a dozen yards away from him on the ground; that he picked them both up, and the defendant, when he got his pipes began to play away, and when he finished he commenced knocking at all the doors round about, soliciting money. As he refused to go away and was drunk, he took him to the station-house. When the defendant was placed at the bar he had his bagpipes under his arms, and when asked by the magis trate what ho had to say in answer to the charge of in toxication, he replied, in a Munster brogue, " Why, then, your wurtchip, this is the first time that I have been drunk for the last eight years. I took the pledge, and by my soul I never broke it before until last night I met that thief Paddy Leary, and he tuk me into Ned HoulL's, where they made me play and drink until my bags were slit. And so, when they lost the music, we all left the house; and, by my troth, when I got into the street 1 did not know whether I was standing upon my head or my heels; but I will take care and not break the pledge again it your worship will let me off. I cam have a character from Father Mullins. He knows that I am a sober man, and the policeman on my bate knows it too." Mr. COTTINGHAM asked him what he meant by saying his " bag s were slit?" '1 he d efendant explained it by saying that his bag pipes, that he brought all the way fr,m Ballinafad, were broken, and that it would cost at least ss. to re pair them. The MAGISTRATE said that the defendant being locked up all ni g h t , b es id es having bad his " bags slit, ' as he called them, was ample punishment, and advised him to be more careful in future.
