FRANCE. The Constitutionnel says :—"Already M. Bineau, Minister of Fi nance, and M. de Persigny, Minister of the Interior, are absent on leave. M. F o uld, w h o h as been named president of the council-general of the Nantes-Pyrenees, is about to leava for Tarbes. M. Fortoul also is about to proceed to Digne, to preside ove r the council - general of the Basses Alpes. Other Ministers must also leave, if those appointed to preside over councils-general are to perform that duty : M. ABbatucci to Orleans, General de St. Arnaud to Bor deaux, M. Magne to Perigueux, and M. de Maupas to Troyes. In that case there would only remain at F ar i s M. Drouyn de Lhuy s a n d M. D ucos . ' We read in the Constitutionnel—" The Union says—' Since the return of M. Achille Fould to power, the Minister of State takes the pas of his colleagues on every occasion.' There is nothing in that calcu lated to excite surprise ; it is the result of the classi fication of the Ministerial departments as given in the Almanach National and the budget." Toe President of the Republic has conferred the decoration of the order of the Legion of Honour on Mme. Abicot de Regis, wife of the Mayor of the commune of Olzin (Cner), for her courageous conduct in December last, in preserving the archives of the commune, when three insurgents entered her house to burn them, and on which occasion she was seriously wounded by a stab from a poignard. The Archbishop of Paris arrived on the 18th at Strasburg, and was received at the railway station by the Bishop of Strasburg. He proceeded on his journey the next day to visit Munich, Vienna, and Berlin. GERMANY. The German Journal of Frankfort, under date of Vienna, 13th, says :—" The general subject of con versation here is an episode in the journey of the Em peror in Hungary. His Majesty having enter e d th e Palace of the Bishop of. Gran, perceived the portrait of the celebrated Cardinal Puzman. The Emperor exclaimed He also was a Jesuit, it is from the Jesuits that I principally expect the Catholic edu cation of the youth of the country. Th a t i s w hy I have re-establ ished the order.' The Primate of Gran was surprised at hearing these words, for he had for some time wished to establish a College of Jesuits at Tym an. He;therefore, requested the Em peror to permit him to bring two other Jesuits to that place. The Emperor replied :-4Two is not enough, the Jesuits must direct two or three schools, and they should undertake missions.' " " The mission of Prince ilohenlobe," says a letter from Vienna of the 16th, in the German .Journal of Frankfort, "may be considered as terminated, and our Government has declared its opinion agreeably . to the views of the Pontifical Government. The foreign troops will evacuate the Papal States on the Ist Ja nuary next, and the Fren ch garrison will quit Rome. The Pontifical Government expressed a wish that the French troops should leave sooner, but as it could not refute the objection made by General Gemeau that the organization of the P apal army was not suffi ciently advance d, the desire of the F rench . Govern. men t was accede d to.. The re - organ iz ation go es on army is not s l ow ly, and the e . nthusiasm to enter the hoped that it will be very great. It is, however, that the occupa completed French lst . January, an d tion by the will be then no longer necessary." T HE GREAT INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION (IRELAND). The following letter has; been very extensively circu ated among persons in the United Kingdom, who are s upposed to be favourable to this great national undertaking:—'• Sir,—l an desired by the Com mittee of the Great Industrial Exhibition of 1853, to inform you that Mr. William Dargan being desirous to give a more than usual prominence to the Triennial Exhibition of Arts and Manufactures of the Royal Dahlia Society, has placed the sum of 20,0001. in the hands of a special committee, for the purpose of carrying out this important object. The plan of Mr. Joan Bmson, C.E , for the building has been selected, and the exhibition will be opened on .Thurs day, the s:h of May next. I am also instructed to call your attention to the practical advantages which are likely to flaw from such an Exhibition being hold in Ire land. Cheap and facile transit in England afforded op portunities to her working classes to visit the Great Exhibition of 1851, end profit by an examination of that wondrous collection of human industry and human skill. These advantages net having been available to Irishmen of similar classes to the same extent, it forms part of the design of Mr. Dargan to obtain pe culiar facilities for his humble countrymen to witness, in the Irish metropolis, the products of the skill and inge nuity of th- United Kingdom and of other countries. A letter soliciting articles for exhibition has been ad dressed to every exhibitor whose name appears in the effiAal descriptive catalogue of the Great Exhibition of 1851, and the co. op9ration of the mayor or other chief magistrate or each corporate town in the United King dom has also been invited. Numerous and most grati fying promises of support have been received in reply, and I am now instructed to express the hope of the • committee that you will be so good as to forward their effarta to promote the success of Air. Dar4au's generous proposal by giving it publicity, and also by enlisting the sympathy of manufacturcra and exhibaors with whom you have ihflavnee, in its favour. Permit me 'to Lib, that c:mtributions in money are not sought for and cannot be recyived, as it is Mr. D tr,gark's decistm that the whole of the necessary funds for the Exhibition be provided by hico,:ielf only.

The public insuguratioa ot the statue of the late Sir Robert red took place on Friday last at noon, in the presence of an immense assemblage of people, numbering, probably, not less than forty thousand.

Near; THE SUN, LONDON, the highest point of our course, small star-shaped crystals of snow of perhaps 1-25th or 1-30th of an inch diameter were seen falling (possibly their appa rent fall was due to the rise of the balloon). Ob servations of the thermometer, hygrometer, and barometer, were taken at very short intervals during the ascent, and during the first portion of the de scent, until it became necessary to provide for the safety of the instruments. Specimens of the air at different elevations were taken for analysis. The descent was accomplished with much ease, at about twenty-five minutes past five P.M.; and the balloon was secured with little trouble near the village of Swavesey, in Cambridgeshire, about 60 miles north of London. This distance was passed over in about an hour and a half, showing that an immense mass of air was moving rapidly from the south. Accounts received from various stations seem to show that this strong south wind was prevalent over a large portion of country. The thunder-storm which broke out on Tuesday evening had not commenced during our voyage, nor was any indication of it visible except a shower at some distance. The sun was obscured dur ing almost the whole period. At the elevation to which we attained no personal ionncloynvenie perceivednce o a f a an y moment wa s experienced ; slightl temples—but no difficul ling perceived, besides, a very slig ht difficult y in t o y p p i r n e s b s i r o e n a t a h b i n o g u t . the m e r . a r s s i a e and breathing before reaching the greatest height, but the feeling went quickly off, even before we began to descend. So light was any inconvenience which we experienced from the rarity of the air, that it did not in the least interfere with our regular work of observing and recording. The cold would, of c ourse, have become disagreeable had we continued long in it. The first voyage should be considered chiefly as a preliminary and educational one; neither th e ma naging committee n or the observers .e having had any prev i ous experience whatever aerostation. It will no t be surprising , therefore, if tb ga thered from the ascent of Tuesday should lead to considerable alterations in the instruments and mode of observing in future experiments of this nature. first are in att h e o m p p es t th ar s e d o ubtless of much value; t Th e results obtained from bu t t h w is e by some alterations in our mode of procedure a greater amount of instruction may be derived from subsequent voyages. The Kew committee have been peculiarly fortunate in obtaining the zealous co-operation of Mr. Green. His great experience and well-known ability and caution afford a guarantee that the risks attending these expediti ons w ill b e reduced to a minimum. The confidence which his dexterous management of the immense but beautiful instrument cannot fail to in spire, will contribute much to that calmness in the observer which is so necessary in the presence of un usual phenomena.--I am, &c., Kew Observatory, Aug. 19. JOHN IVELSH. THE MONEY MARKET. (From the Derbyshire Courier.) The depression of every description of securities which has occurred during the past week, forms a noticeable comment on the unsettled state of monetary affairs, and on the principles to which such fluctu ations may be traced, and which have been so repeat edly brought before our readers. If we were to credit certain writers, the state of this country is rapidly advancing towards unexampled prosperity. We have had the advantage of being long secure from the social and political disturbances which have so inju riously affected our continental neighbours; the great masses of our population are rendered contented and peaceful by the cheapness of all the necessaries of life, emigration is drawing off in a continuous stream the unemployed portion of our own people, and fast emptying Ireland of a race apparently uoi m . provable under the circumstances with which they are surrounded in their own country ; wo have en active trade, and agriculture itself is recovering, in some of its branches at least, from the depths of its depression. Now under these auspicious appearances a most unexpected and powerful auxiliary has presented itself in the dis covery of large amounts of that precious metal which, in the eyes of many political economists, seems to be regarded as the great arbiter of the wealth of nations. Not in California alone, but in our own colony of Australia we have the promise of a return of the golden age. It is true that few attempt to explain to us bow the discovery of a certain yellow metal is to be fraught with the predicted wonderful advantages, but that such will be the case is very generally believed. Low comes it then that nothing appears too incon siderable to shake the public confidence ? In such a nation as ours there is, as a matter of course, no period without some cause of public anxiety. Just now we have the Kafir War and the dispute about the American Fisheries both subjects deserving of attention, but certainly neither of them destined to exercise a very powerful effect on the nation's prosperity. But there is another cause which during the last week has been depressing the mercury in the money market. Recent reports speak much less favourably of the coming harvest than did former accounts. We have had also a few showery days ; the men of corn immediately begin to ask for a rise in wheat, and the men of money simultan eous ly a u g ur a fall in the funds. Now, can it be supposed that all our vaunted prosperity is of so flimsy a character, and that England is a country livin g so very near its means that a deficiency in the cereal crop to the value of a few millions of money, should excite serious apprehension as to the con tinuance of the nation's prosperous condition ? Yes : the philosophers of the Stock Exchange have reason and experience on their side. What have the gold discoveries so far really done for us ? They have done this. They have enabled the Bank of England to get out and keep out an amount of paper circulating medium greater by two or three millions than has tor a considerable time been in the hands, of the public. The effects of an increased circula tion have been witnessed again and again in this country during the last half c e nt ur y. 'Whenever it has occurred, the money finding its way from the Bank of England through private bankers, into the bands of traders, is empl oye d b y those traders in enlarging their transa c ti ons, carrying on their affairs with more spirit, employing more hands, increasing production, and thus stimulating consumption. With an abundance of money every branch of industry thus improves, and the improve ment of each branch acts upon and increases that of every other trade. The poor man finds a readier market for his labour, the clever and intelligent find a more active demand for their abilities. The nation is pronounced to be "prosperous." But, as we :said, the &lions of Change.alley know how soon all this may be reversed. A bad harvest comes ; a few millions of quarters of wheat come into the country. A few millions of gold are withdrawn from the Bank. Then the Bank reduces its issues. money becomes scarcer. The L , ndon and provincial bankers are less ready to accommodate traders. Every kind of industrial pursuit receives a check. The evil tendency of a restricted circulation makes itself felt from one end of the country to the other. The depression of one kind of trade injures another. Things get worse till a commercial panic ensues. Now a ll t hi s i s well known in the money market. And in spite of all favourable appearances, as it is evident that if we have to buy corn, gold may go ' 3 :lt faster than it can find its way into the coun ty„ and that if thegoldout, our circulati ng medium goes will be be diminished, and the:, if our circu lating medium be diminished distress and ruin will le`-therefore, mere whisper of mildew, and e a ff t e h e u t :d o e n r thunder-storm rm m o i n n ey-m harvest, ark e t p produce u the c e their singdepree metropolis.

NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 23. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice WiGuTmert.) CRUICICSHANK. V. FOSTER. This case, which was not finished on Saturday, was commenced to-day. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Addison appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Mr. Ma nisty for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff resided on his pro perty at Radcliffe, and that the defendant was a corn and flour dealer, carrying on business in Hulme, Manchester. In 1847 the plaintiff purchased a pro perty in Radnor-street, Hulme, and the defendant in 1851 purchased a plot of ground in Walnut-street, and erected a large baking concern, which extended before the houses in Itallnor-street. With the baking were connected eight tall chimneys and twenty ovens, and there were a l so t wenty - e i g h t sma ll win dowsin the building, from which the steam was allowed to escape. Large quantities of coal were used instead of coke, and the plaintiff complained of the stench, filth, and soot, which, he alleged, made it intolerable to reside in the neighbourhood. Before tha establishiner,t of the bakery all the houses were occupied at rents of 201. per annum, while, after its erection, they were almost untenanted, although the rents had been reduced to 161. per annum. A number of witnesses were called on both sides. His LORDSHIP having summed up, The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 401. This case concluded the civil business of the Northern Circuit, with the exception of two cases which are likely to be settled. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Aug. 23. The sittings of the Court for the August adjourned general session were resumed this morning at Clerkenwell, instead of at Westminster, before Mr. WITHAM (who presided for the Assistant Judge), Mr. Turner, Mr. Warner, and other magistrates. There are 109 prisoners for trial-99 for felony, and 10 for misdemeanour. Mr. WITHAM explained to the grand jury that the reason of the Court sitting at Clerkenwell instead of Westminster was, that the Sessions House at the latter place was under repair, and had been so recently painted that it would have been very unpleasant for the Court to have at there this session. George Doubleday, 16, was indicted for having stolen 151. the moneys of Christopher Lamb, his master. He pleaded guilty. Mr. SPICER said he appeared for the prisoner, and it was by his advice that he had pleaded guilty. The evidence clearly made out the charge, but the offence was committed, according to his instructions, under these circumstances :—The prosecutor had threatened to discharge the prison©r without a character, and in consequence the latter made up his mind to go to Australia, and having no money of his own, he bad at various times stolen small sums from his master, which he regularly deposited in a savings bank to form a fund to carry him to the gold diggings) of which such almost fabulous accounts had b ee n re ceived. He hoped the Court might see occasion to deal mercifully with the prisoner. Mr. PAnne said the prosecutor was a paw nbroker in Sloane-street, and the prisoner had committe d the thefts with great art a n d cunn i ng , having by destroy ing some tickets and keeping back ot h ers , screened himself from detection. There was the sum of 51. in a savings bank, which the prisoner acknow led g ed he heft stolen from hi s mas t er , and which Wou ld, if the Court made an ord e r to that effect, b e given up to Mr. Lamb. Mr. WITHAM then sentenced-the • prisoner to be kept to bard labour for six months, and ordered the money to be given up to the prosecutor. Joseph Smith, 22, was indicted for having stolen I,Boof. belonging to Maximilian Lamiot. Mr. W. Cooper prosecuted ; Mr. Parry and Mr. Metcalfe were for the prisoner. It appeared that the prosecutor, who is a French man, became acquainted with the, prisoner through staying at the same hotel, and eventually they took a lodging jointly, in a house kept by a Frenchman in Frith•street, Soho. Oa the 2d of August, he went out, telling the prisoner that between ten and eleven , o'clock at night, he should be at M . Poitien 8, a mutual friend of theirs, and about that hour the pro secutor went to Poitier's expecting to meet the pri soner there. Shortly afterwards the prisoner returned to the house, and inquired if M. Lamiot was absent, and he received an answer in the affirmative from one of the servants. He then went up to the room and remained for about ten minutes, after which he again left the house and repaired to Poitier's, where he ar rived about half-past eleven. He found the prose cutor there, and they walked home together, and on entering their room, it was found that the prosecu tor's trunk had been ransacked, and I,Boof. in notes of the Bank of France had been stolen from a hand kerchief, in which they had been tied. The prisoner was given into custody, and a policeman examined the trunk and a box belonging to the prisoner, which also bed been opened, and he came to the conclusion that the latter had been opened by a key, whilst the prosecutor's had been wrenched open. The prisoner said thas eleven sovereigns had been stolen from his box, and in conversation with the prosecutor, at the police station, he said that, rather then be subjected t.) the disgrace of being taken before the magistrate, he had no doubt his friends would pay the amount that bad been lose. The prosecutor was a baker, and about to sail to Australia, where he intended to start in that line of business. It appeared that all persons in the house had access to the room. None of the money had been found. b e ad Mr. PARRY addressed the jury for the pri soner , stated been educated a t h e i d s client contending that the facts were perfectly re conc il ea bl e wi t h the e say prisonersnun innocence.lrishman,who He on the continent, and had most wealthy and ble connexions. A number of witnesses, including Mr. R. F. Max well Fox, .M.P., county Longford, were examined as to the character of the prisoner; but most of them ere acquainted only with the family to which he be longed. It appeared that he arrived in London on the 7'..h of July, and that for the past two years and a half he bad been a student for the Church at a semi nary at Paris. Whatever money he had required his Eiends would have supplied. The jury pronounced th 3 prisoner Not Guilty. (Before Mr. TURNER.) William Rose, 68, was placed at the bar to receive ludgment. _ _ _ The prisoner was convicted last week of committing frauds by representing that he was an officer of the °curt of Chancery, and that the persons he defrauded were entitled to property which he could recover for them. Mr. TURNER slid the prisoner had been remanded in order that inquiries might be made, and those inquiries led him to the conclusion that it was full time a stop was put to his career in this country. The sentence was that he be transported for seven years. Eliza Price was indicted for stealing a travelling. b eg, value 243., the property of William Day and another ; and Charles Edwards was indicted for having feloniously received the same. The prosecutors are portmanteau-makers in the Strand, and the female prisoner was in their service as a domestic. In consequence of a considerable quantity of property having been missed, a watch was set, and on the morning of the 7th iost. police constable 142 F detected the female in the act of han3ing a travelling•bsg to the other prisoner. The constable followed, and took him into custody, and found on his person at the police-station 49 duplicates, of which 15 related to property identified as belong ingto the prosecutors. _ _ _ The prisoners were found Guilty, and sentenced each to six months' hard labour. Mr. Birnie was for the defence. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. William Thomas Ingram, an elderly man, who re sides at West Ham, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having defrauded Mr. Thomas Hall, of No. 103, Bishopsgate-street, linendraper and haberdasher, of goods to the amount of 58/. 103. 41d. Mr. Lloyd, the solicitor• to the prosecutor, in brie fly stating the circumstances, which were borne the Boardinonfl out n by evidence, represented hat the property had a D on obtained under the false pretence that the pri was a contractor and a creditor to the Govern ment,er, and that he was about to receive the immediate P a yment of a large sum of money due to him from received from th e in . o n rdnance, there being no pretence what ever for at his consequence of a letter which I was Prisoner on the 22d of June, stat paper house Mr. Halislil such a statement. account he Would going to Australia, on which called upon himonrequire a number of articles, I at West Ham.

He brought me at the same ti one of th e s p onges w hich he had engag ed to supp me ly, and I agreed to send the goods to him. The LOUD MAYOD—Did you, upon the faith of the statement that there was a large sum of money due to him by the Government for gun-sponges, supply him with the goods be ordered ? Witness—l did. The goods consisted of hosiery and haberdashery.

O n the 29th July I:saw him at his house at West Ham, and he then said be tald been put off by the Ordnance, but he EVENING, TUESDAY would go with me that afternoon to the Ordnance office and I should receive it there and then. He at that time said that he had 600/. or 7001. to receive, and he bad a further order to the amount of 3001. to execute for the sam e d epartment. H a lf- past two o'clock was the time appointed for our meeting at my house, from which I was to accompany him to the Ordnance-office to receive the money. He never came, but my solicitor received a letter from him next day, dated 30th July. I never received the money. The LORD MAYOR—Pris oner , this is a charge of a s erious nature.

Hell—l saw the prisoner on the 24 of July, and he told me he had received the goods on the day before, and he was very much pleased with them. The prisoner, who said he would show the matter in quite a different light, was then remanded., It appeared, from correspondence found in the pos session of the prisoner, that his wife and family had sailed for Australia, and that he was to remain be hind to make some arrangements. Patrick Higgins, Owen Biggins, Peter Beswick, and John Fi(lis, men in the employment of Messrs. pebble and Co., of All Hallows-lane, Thames-street, lead-merchants, were charged with having stolen a quantity of old iron, the property of the firm, in whose service Patrick Higgins had been engaged a great many years. A policeman had, in consequence of information) watched the premises, and he ascer tained that at seven o'clock in the evening, when the regular business of the establishment was finished for the day, the prisonera brought down a marine-store dealer named Beale, who lived in the immediate neighbourhood of the warehouse, and sold to him 4 cwt. lqr. 241 b. of old iron, which lay in the place, for 4s. sd. Beale said that one of the prisoners called at his shop, and asked him whether he bought old iron ? He said ye s , and he went, by invitation, down to Mr. Kebble's ware h ouse, where he was told the iron lay, weighed it in Mr. Kebble's scales, and paid for it to the prisoners, at the rate of ls. per cwt. John Thompson, a person in the employment of Messrs. Kebble and Co., proved that the iron had been on the premises on the previous morning, and was worth about 10s. Patrick Higgins said that neither he nor any of the other men had any idea of stealing. The fact was, the old iron had been knocking about for 14 or 15 years, and some of it had been actually on the pre mises of his employers for 26 years, and he had looked upon it as his perquisite for a great length of time. One of the other men said to him that the old iron would fetch some beer, as they might get a farthing a pound for it ; and he said they might take it. He had no thought, after being in the employment for so many years, of acting dishonestly. The prisoners were committed for trial. GUILD.HALL. M. Jaques Anne, Marie Salamon do Gaeton, a French gentleman residing at 103, Mount-street, Grosvenor -square, was placed at the bar, before Sir James Duke, charged with stealing a large quantity of shares belonging to the Le Mineur Anglo-Franco- Californian Gold Mining Company, from the office of their branch establishment, in King's Arms-yard, Moorgate-street. Mr. Clarkson, instructed by Mr. Nobler, appeared on l?ehalf of the French company, for the prosecution ; and Mr. Dearsley, of the bar, defended the prisoner. Mr. Clarkson said the charge against the prisoner was one of taking from the office of the branch of Le Miami., a French joint-stock company for working the gold mines in California, a great many shares, and other things belonging to the company. About 50,0001. in English money had been subscribed in France, with which to establish a branch company in London, and the prisoner was appointed the servant of the directors to carry out their object, which was to facilitate the disposal of the shares. M. Vachon, the managing director, gave the prisoner his instruc tions, and shares to the amount of 70,0001. to nego tiate in London, together a with nearly 1,0001. to defray all preliminary expenses. The prisoner accordingly came over and took offices in King's Arms-yard, Moorgate-street ; and having disposed of both mo ney and shares, the company, not receiving any ac count fiom the prisoner, sent over M. Vachon, the ma nager, who, on inquiry, found prisoner had taken apart ments in Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, in conjunc tion with a woman, to which place he had ascertained the prisoner had conveyed the shares and other pro perty from the offices in the City. In consequence of this information the prisoner was given into custody, and on searching his apartments shares to the value of 25,0001. were found concealed within the stuffing of the sofa and beneath the flooring of a bed-room in the same house. The Learned Counsel then vient on to say that he would prove that it was the prisoner's duty, as the servant of the company, to keep posses sion of their property, but only at their offices in Moorgate-street ; that he was seen removing these shares, a nd that they wore afterwards found concealed in apartments occupied by him end a woman with whom h e was given to understand the prisoner co habited. Mr. Dearsley wished that his Learned Friend would go into the evidence to prove what he had alleged he should be abl e , as h e (Mr. Dears l ey ) con tended that the prisoner was not the servant of the co mpany, but a partn er; and i n fact, as far as t h e compan y in England was concerned, the company itself. ne. Jean Louis Mathurin Sebastian Napoleon Vachon, jun., was then sworn, and with the assistance of Mr. Catty, who kindly acted as interpreter, the following evi dence was elicit e d : —I li ve at 2 3, Ben tinck-street, Manchester -square, and came to London on the 7th of the present month. lam the managing director ofthe comp any " yin France called Le Mineur,” es tablished th ere under the laws of France, and enrolled on the 27th of April, 1850. It was established i n the names of Messrs. V ac h on, j un ., Xavier Van d e Castelli and Co. The proprietary of shares es t a blished in F rance was about 50,0001. English. The branch company in London was formed eight months ago, and the prisoner was recommended to me, not as an officer of the company, but as the agent only in London. H e was appointed by me verbally en d in writing. H e i s not the propr i etor of any shares. This is the deed of agreement between the prisoner and myself on the part of the company. Mr. Dearsley objected to the deed being received as evidence, unless it was proved in the proper form, as the law of France required not only that the deed should be stamped, but that it should also be re gistered. Sir JAltkEs DUKE said the deed appeared to be and he should not, therefore , at this stag e o f stamped, the proceedings object to receive the document as evidence. continued--The com p an y is re g i s t ered Witness c , as is alio the deed of agreement, although, according t o the French laws, such is not absolutely necessary.

Thi s was the sixth clause of theld prove the agreement, and on e o f several that would prisoner was a participator in the property of th e company. Witness continued—lt wa a t the end of s 1 arranged that in case , t six months, the comp any did not go on extent, its losses were to b e me t, to a certain v b y the prisoner repaying half of the a mount advanced the company in the first instance, that is to say, of the " . if the on there would be no losses at all. but , company two sum s o f 3501. an d 400/. , s.he prisoner was I AUGUST 24, not responsible in any way for the success of the company or its losses. Cross-examined by Mr. Dearsley—The prisoner was to account to me or the company in France. I had no authority to dispose of any portion of the 40,000 shares delivered to the prisoner, and the 20,000 shares disposed of to M. Damberger were a new issue that were sent to England to receive the English stamp, and were then returned to France and handed over to M. Damberger. The company in France and the branch in England are not totally distinct compa nies. The title of the French company is "Le Mineur," and that of the branch in London, "le Mineur de France et Anglice." The prisoner was not the director of the latter, but merely an agent to construct the branch for the French company. The prisoner has signed shares when I have been ill, but they have been countersigned by me. I attached the balance now lying at the bankers in the name of Messre. Vachon, jun., X. Van de Castelli and Co. Sir James DUKE asked if the prisoner was not meant to ba included in the ward "Company." Wi'ness, after much difficulty in giving a straight forward answer, said he was not. Richard Turner, 188 C of the metropolitan police, said—On Saturday night last I went to 103, Mount street, Grosvenor-square, and after waiting three hours I saw the prisoner drive up in a cab. This was about half-past eight o'clock. I took him into cus tody, and then examined the house. In the third floor front bedroom I removed the carpet and raised three of the floor boards, and found concealed beneath 41 packages of shares, and one package containing a banker's account-book, in the pocket of which some cheques, drawn by the prisoner i n his own name on b e h a lf o f t h e company,were discovered. I then proceeded to the front draw ing -room on the first floor, when I found secreted between the spring stuffing and the webbing of the sofa 17 other package s o f s h ares, w hi c h I too k pos session of as soon as I had lodged the prisoner in the station. , I went ag a i n on S un d ay morn i ng, a b out eleven o and found about 800 shares in two packages an the drawing-room chimney, five share covers in a rubbish basket in the kitchen passage, and two loose shares in a drawer in Madame Delour's room. Madame Delour left the house on Saturday morning, and I was told she was the woman the pri soner was living with. Cross-examined—M. Vachon, jun., and another gentleman were with me when I went to the prisoner's house on Saturday. I received my instructions from the acting inspector on the same afternoon. The prisoner was not present when the property was found. Mr. Clarkson said the Alderman had the evidence before him as to the shares, which for the sake of this prosecution he should call so many pieces of paper, having been stealthily removed from the offices and concealed in the prisoner's apartments, he having been the agent of the company, and refusing to give any account of his transactions previously. It would, therefore, rest with the Alderman to say whether a prima facie case had been made out for a remand. Mr. Dearsley said this was a most serious case as far as the prisoner was concerned. It was a well-known principle in law that no person could be charged with felony where there was a supposed right on the part of the eccused to detain property alleged to have been stolen. There were documents in the possession of the parties for the prosecution, which if they had put in would have shown the real position of the prisoner with regard to the company. However, it was enough for his purpose to know that nocasehad been made out to enable the magistrate to remand the prisoner, who, knowing the character of M. Vachon, and that he would take possession of this property by force, as a matter of security removed it to his own house, where he concealed it. He had no intention of denying that fact ; but he thought the proceedings here were un necessary and harsh, as the prisoner had already been summoned to appear at the Mansion House, and was fully prepared to meet the case there in its proper form. Sir JAMES DUKE said there was nothing at all against the prisoner as yet ; but he considered a prima facie case had been made out to enable him to adjourn the inquiry, but not to detain the prisoner in custody. He would therefore take his own recognizances in 501. to appear at the next examination. The prisoner requested permission to explain one or two circumstances omitted in his counsel's instruc tions, in the course of which we understood him to assert that the English branch of Le Mineur was established with the view of its ultimately advancing a loan of 40,0001. to the parent company in Paris. Sir JAMES DUKE said that one good would cer tainly result from this investigation—the public would benefit by it if no one else did. The prisoner quite concurred with the alderman in his last remark; and the shares, money, books, and memorandums having been ordered to be detained in the custody of the officer, the prisoner's racognizances were then taken, and he was liberated, having been locked up in the station cell from Saturday night till Monday morning. THAMES. ALLEGED HOCUSSING, ROBBERY, AND ATTEMPT TO MURDER.—Charles Goghlan, a powerful, but ill looking young fellow, 25 years of age, described in the sheet as a ropemaker, whose antecedents were of the very worst character, was brought up by Cox, 264 K, under the following circumstances;— Between six and seven o'clock on Sunday evening, a witness named Roualdson, whilst passing through Abbot's-fields, Poplar, perceived two men lying on the grass in an apparently helpless state. On ap proaching them the prisoner, who was one of the par ties, started to his feet, and was moving away, when Mr. Ronaldson asked him to stay until some inquiry was made into the matter. On examining the pros trate man, witness discovered that a trousers brace had been fastened tightly round his throat, outside his handkerchief, and the process of strangulation was proceeding rapidly, his face was swollen, and begin ning to become black, and bis tongue protruded from his mouth to more than an inch in extent. The cir cumstances looked so suspicious that a constable was sent for, and the prisoner taken into custody. Charles Feu!, a driller, of No. 1, William-street, Poplar, who appeared very much exhausted, said that he had been drinking with the prisoner's father, and others, at the Salisbury Arms, on Sunday afternoon. While there the prisoner came in, and asked his father for 4d,, which the litter refused to let him have. Witness gave him some beer, and after a little while, at the proposal of the prisoner, adjourned to the Cape of Good Hope, public-house, which was nearer to his (witness's) home. He was confident he must have been drugged there, as on entering the place, though a little in liquor, he knew well what he was about, and was aware that he had his watch in his pocket. From that time he lost all recollections of what had occurred until ho found himself in bed next morning, suffering severe pain from bruises on various parts of the body, particularly on the knees and the elbow. His chin also pained him much, and his finger was considerably lacerated ; but he might have done that with his own teeth whilst under the severe compres sion. James Walters, of Rich-street, Limehouse, on going to look for his little girls in the fields, which were not a quarter of a mile from the Cape of Good Hope, saw the prosecutor and the prisoner lying on the ground, the former being apparently in a state of insensibility. On his return he found him still insensible, and watched till he came to, when he complained of having lost 'his watch and some money. Being told by a, boy named Thomas Burgess, who also gave evidence, that he (I3urgess) saw the prisoner go to a wall, and, whilst pretending to look over it, placed something on the ground, which he covered loosely with bricks. Witness went to the spot and discovered a watch, identified as. his by the prosecutor, and following the constable, handed it over to him. Cox, the constable, stated that from information he had received he pro ceeded towards the place, and met the prisoner hastening from it. Recognising him from the de scription previously given, he said " Halloo, where are you going, and who is that man lying on the grass ?" The prisoner said, " I know nothing about him." To which the constable replied, " You must come there with me." The prisoner refused, but the constable compelled him ; and on coming up witness found the prosecutor lying insensible, with his pockets open, and a tobacco box, a knife, and a key lying on the grass immediately near him. Whilst witness was trying to restore the prosecutor to his senses the pri soner went towards a fence which was near, and on his return Cox, with the assistance of another constable, conveyed him to the station-house. On the way there he asked what he was in custody for. On which Cox told him he should know when the charge was preferred. To which the prisoner replied, " You are as wrong, old cock, now as ever you were right; for I have not got it." " Got what? " said the constable. To which the prisoner made no reply. When searched at the station-house a shilling in silver and thirteen pence in coppers were found upon him, though it will be re membered that he asked his father for the loan of 4d. at the Salisbury Arms. Another corroborative fact proved was that the coppers were marked with chalk, a piece of which the prosecutor was in the habit of carrying in his pocket. The prisoner (through the Magistrate) asked the boy Burgess why, if he saw him hide anything, he did not tell it at once, to the constable? To which th e lad, w h o ev id en tly gave his testimony under great trepidation, replied that he wa s afraid t o meddle in it. Mr. Ronaldson, on the dep osition s being taken, added to his evidence that w hen he fi r s t came up he saw B streak of blood on t he p risoner's f ace, which h e wiped off with his handkerchief, and asked him how it came there, but the latter made no reply. The prisoner, in bis defence, said that having been refused to be served a t the Ca p e of Good hope, they went to a beer-house and had some a l e. the Cape Mr. ai oguL Paul fell down, and I,l on leaving v-an) remem bered no more. in evidence that th It was shown e prisoner was 1852. previously convicted of manslaughter, and had also had six months for robbing a servant girl of a sovereign. The depositicns being taken at length, the prisoner was committed for trial. IRELAND. THE SIX MILE-BRIDGE CONFLICT. DUBLIN, MONDAY.-00. Saturday morning Mr. Delinege, J. P., surrendered himself to the authori ties in the county Clare. As soon as he became aware that the coroner had. issued a warrant fo? his arrest on a charge of murder, he sent an intimation to that functionary that he was prepared to yield himself up whin required. A chief constable of po lice, attended by a strong escort of the 3d Dragoons, executed the warrant. There is a party of the 47th Regiment stationed in the gaol of Enuis for the pro tection of Mr. Delmege and the eight soldiers of the 31st Regiment confined there in pursuance of the verdict returned at Six-mile-bridge. An application will be made to-morrow or next day to Mr. Justice Crampton, in chambers, to dis charge Mr. Delmege on bail. The motion will be grounded on affidavits, in which (it is understood) it will be sworn that according to the firm belief of the deponents, the prisoner is in no way answerable for the unhappy affray, for the firing of the soldiers or the death of the rioters. Notice of the application will be given to the law advisers of the friends of the deceased. A similar motion will be made on behalf of the soldiers, and there is little doubt but the Learned Judge will grant both. DONNYBROOK FAIR. This once notoriously celebrated annual saturnalia is clearly dying out. The following description of the opening day is given in Saunders this morning : " Yesterday being what is called The Walking Sun day' of Donnybrook Fair, The Green' was visited by a good many of our citizens, and a huge swarm of the gamins' of the metropolis; but there was an evident lack of the interest which used to prevail in the olden time.' Tho roofless tents and the penny shows were few in point of number, and of a character the reverse of prepossessing. They presented a beggarly account of empty boxes,' and so far, therefore, as these are con cerned, the fair promises to be ' poor indeed.' Bo the cause what it may, be it the influence of the temperance movement,' and the improved morals resulting there from, or be it the stringent regulations of the pullet) for the preservation of sobriety and order, it is plain that the Donnybrook of the past and that of the present time are as far asunder as the poles.' Tempora mutantur, et nos mutamur in illi s,' seems to be au adage likely to be realised this year at Donnybrook." KEEPING U? TUE STEAM. The " Lord Bishop" of Killaloe (Dr. Vaughan) has hit upon an ingenious device to keep alive the smouldering embers of popular excitement against the Queen's troops by causing a solemn high mass to be celebrated for the repose of the souls of the ill fated men who lost their lives in the riots at Six-mile bridge. The ceremony is thus briefly described in the Limerick Examiner : " Thursday last being the day named by the vene rated Bishop of the diocese of lidlalce for the celebra tion of an office and high mass for the repose of the souls of the deceased victims of landlord oppression and military violence, Six-mile-bridge was the theatre of solemn proceedings. There was a large body of the Catholic clergy in attendance. Many lay gentlemen took part in the proceedings,!and the friends of the de ceased gave vent to the pent-up f&lings which the cir cumstances under which their relatives fell had neces sarily excited. The congregation wo have heard est - mated at 4,000, many of whom came from distant parts of Clare, Limerick, and Tipperary." No less than thirty priests were present to give eclat to this studied piece of fanaticism, and among the group were to be found the now historic names of Fathers Burke and Clune. The Examiner further states that— " After the religious ceremonies were concluded, a meeting was hold in the sacristy of the Catholic church to make arrangements for promoting a subscription for the families of the deceased at the bridge. Mr. D. J. Wilson, who has so humanely exerted himself to aid the bereaved families of the deceased, was called to the chair. The whole of the clergymen who had attended the ceremony were present, and each and all, with una nimous accord, pledged themselves to aid the benevo lent object for which they were congregated. The Rev. Mr. Mahoney, on the part of the Bishop, Dr. Vaughan, handed in his Lordship's contribution of .51., and the Rev. Gentleman stated that the venerable prelate would promote the collection by every means in his power. It was suggested that the Bishop of Limerick should be also called upon to pray his Lordship's co-operation. Mr. I). J. Wilson, and the Rev. Messrs. Quaid and Chine, were named a deputation for that purpose. Ap plication, it was also stated, would be made to the Very Reverend Dr. Sheehan, V. C., Kilmacduagh, and Dean Kenny promised, on his behalf, that be would support their endeavours. Collectors' books were also distributed in which to record subscriptions in every district. Mr. M. Talbot is treasurer for Eanis; and it was announced that Dr. M'klalo and other prelates would subscribe." With respect to ulterior proceedings as regards the military, the _Examiner supplies the following infor mation : " First, then, it is said that Mr. Keogh, Q.C., and M.P., will be retained specially to conduct the prosecu tion at the ensuing assizes. The whole of the prisoners may be admitted to bail before trial. This can be done by application to one of the justices of the Queen's Bench, Val out of term s it s from week to week in cham ber to hear applications of this nature. The judge will fix the amountof bail, which issneasured by the circum stances of the party nod the nature of the crime. The Crown may at the assizes assume the direction of the prosocution, with or without the consent of th ) friends of the deceaeed. B ut the latter have a r i ght to emp l oy i n aid of the Crown both counsel and attorney, who will have, of course, the right to take part in the prosecu tion, so that justice may be done. In this case, where no appeal is 'snide to the Crown for funds, it would seem that Lisa Crown oug h t not to i nterfere with the proceed i▪ ngs in the future stager. At the assizes, bills, founded upon the depositions, will probably be sent before the grand jury. It is very confidently stated that thee body will throw out those bills; and, in deed, this anticipated rejection is made a boast of. We have mo re re l iance upon the respect of Clare grand j▪ urors for their solemn obligation. But, should they do so, the parties c h arge d wou ld. , nevert h e l ess, b e put u p on t heir trial; for although it is customary in cases where coroners' inquisitions ere held and verdicts returned at them to send bill s b e f ore gran d j urors , s till if the bills are rejected the accused may be indicted upon the find ing of the coroner's jury. Thus, in any case, there must be a trial at the assizes." The Freeman of this morning furnishes the sub joined glowing account of the committal of Mr. Delmege : "Ennis, Saturday, Half•past Eleven o'Clock. " Mr. C. Delmer, J.P., against whom a verdict of Wilful Murder' was found by the Coroner's jury at Six-mile-bridge, on Wednesday last, has this moment arrived under al strong escort of the 3d Dragoon Guards, and been lodged in the county gaol. Though the an nouncement of his expected coming had been made but half an hour previously, immense crowds assembled to get a glance at one against whom so much of po pular feeling has been aroused, and whose name, whatever be the final issue of the proceedings insti tuted, will remain for ever linked with the deplorable tragedy of the 22d of July. Old and young —men, women, and children—were to ho seen rushing with headlong impetuosity in the direction of the prison, and some, more anxious than others to behold a justice of the peace a prisoner under a charge of wilful murder on poor and helpless peasantry, proceeded a considerable distance on the Clare•roed to await his arrival. On ap proaching Ennis the walls at either side of the road were crowded; the outer walls and gate of the prison, as well as the approaches thereto, were completely filled and blocked up - , and, as the cortege passed, the groaning and hooting were loud and continuous. Mr. Delmege, with the police-officer in charge, was in a covered car, and, on emerging therefrom in the outer yard, the groaning was renewed with increased vigour, and mixed up with such epithets as A speedy uprise to you from the ground to the gallows!' High hanging to the Six mile-bridge murderer,' &c. Mr. Delmege, who looked very pale and downcast, was then received by the officer of the prison; and the crowds separated with marked manifestations of joy at the event they had just witnessed. As a proof of the feeling of the people I may mention, that it having been ascertained that the driver of the covered car was one of the witnesses for:the military at Six-mile-bridge, all attempts made by him to provide stabling in Ennis wore ineffectual. I have not been able to ascertain what special accommodation, if any, has been prepared for Mr. Delmege; but the sol diers of the 31st occupy the ordinary cells, with a yard, apart from the other prisoners. They are allowed to procure the i r own diet, but m a lt an d sp i r i tuous li q uors aro not permitted. Captain Eager, of the 31st, arrivedt , here from Limerick yesterday, and visited his brave men' in prison. There aro forty men of the 47th sta tioned within the prison for the protection' of the ac cused soldiers." BTATE OF TRADE.
