AMERICA. The case of Thomas Seine, the Irish criminal, eame before the Court on the 26th, but was again adjourned to the 28th, on the appl i cat i on of the pri soner's counsel. A fter the adjournment of the case a very turbulent scene occurred outside the court. As each person came out he was assailed with groans or c heers, according to his participation in the matter. MT. Edwards, counsel for the Bri tish G r overnment, was groaned at, hooted, and as sailtd with various expressions, such as " you can't hang him." "Look at the British hangman." The counsel for the prisoner then addressed the mob, and endeavoured to calm the excitement, but without success. On the prisoner being brought out of court a serious riot ensued, in which police and po pulace received severe injuries. We extract the following account of the riot from the New York Herald:— " At a little after one o'clock the chief of police, and Mr. Tallmadge, the United States' Marshal, entered the court-room where the prisoner Koine was kept in cus tody by Deputy-Marshal D'Angelis, assisted by officers Bowyer, Walling, and Keefe, of the chief's bureau. A brief consultation then took place between the Marshal and Mr. Matsell, and it was decided upon to walk the prisoner back to the Tombs under a guard of policemen instead of conveying him back in a car riage. Preparations were accordingly made. Captains Leonard, Ditchett, Hopkins, Brennan, Turnbull, Car penter, Lovett, Scatliff, Voorhies, Stevenson, and Hart received their orders from the chief. Each having their respective men under their command a line was termed by the police from the rear entrance of the court-room to Chambers-street, and there awaited further orders. The friends of Kaine by this time became satis fied that the police intended to bring him out on that side of the park, consequently the crowd began to muster rapidly; and before the prisoner made his ap pearance there must have been at least 3,000 people, mostly Irish labourers, who, as it seems, had ex pressly loft their work to engage in the attempt at rescue. At half-past 1 o'clock the prisoner, who was not ironed in any way, w as escorted by the arm by Deputy-Marshal D'Angelis and officer Bowyer, sur rounded by other mem bers of the police. Chief Matsell, Marshal Talmadge, Deputy - Marshal Thompson, and others, marched from the court-room into Chambere-street, but the moment they ap peared in the court-yard a diminutive-looking Irishman, with a short umbrella, which he brandished in his hand as ha stood on the grassplat, exclaimed to the prisoner as he passed, Ah! Tommy, are you there?' The pri soner recognised him, and laughed. The little comical looking personage then gave a yell, sprang from the ground, and flourished the umbrella, which denoted the approach of Kane which signal was respon ded to deys the multitude ; and' b a general rush was made townarer the spot where the prisoner was seen to be coma g bilt with the strong force of the police kept them b3e c k hief of the much difficulty ins it accomplieheat 'r li h e police formed a square with th e the an met-- p od m n din the centre placed the prisoner nee : strong force shals, guarefed in the rear he have been two posiib!y, altogether, there hundred policemen.

Here the first violence commenced. Stones, of large e eswallas smell dimensions, were hurled in among t h e police-onicerl, inflecting much injury. One stone passed close by the head of the msesha!, and struck officer Pell, of the Ninth-ward, a violent blow on the back of the head, knocking him senseless in the street. The stones now began to fly in all directions in quick succession. Mr. Busteed, the prisoner's counsel, took the chief of police by the arm, having followed with the prisoner from the court-room, with a view of accompany ing them to the Tombs, but the paving stones seemed to inereese in their flight, and, as Mr. Busteed wished to retain his intellect Jr the benefit of his client, on Wednesday next, he exclaimed, at the top pitch of his voice, to the mob—' Stop, boys! stop from throwing them stones; lam here.' Just then, whang-bang came several stones, not paying the least respect for person or parties, one striking the chief on the back, another on the cap; a third passing close by the nose of the coun sel, who by this time thought that the better part of valour was to leave as soon as possible, and accordingly he quitted suddenly, believing that the police could fight the battle just as well without him. Arriving at the corner of Chambers-street and Centre, the missiles thickened, no doubt with a view to break up the ranks of the police, and, es soon as they wore in disorder, the chance of reectilng Koine would be censidered compara tively easy. At this point the police somewhat in creased their force, and, in so doing, came more sud denly upon some of the assailants, who had gone ahead. One strapping Irishman, who was stooping in the act of picking up a stone in each hand, was capsized by a po liceman's club, while another member of the police clubbed him on the rear of his person until he scram bled upon his feet, leaving both the stones behind him. Coming to the corner of Beade-street and Centre, a des perate attempt was made by the rioters to break up the police. A renewed force rushed from Reede street, and a desperate contest took place. A platoon of police, headed by the chief, made a charge on the assailants, and in a few seconds they had felled to the ground with their clubs some thirty or forty. No time, however, could be allowed to make prisoners, as the whole force was neces sary to protect the marshal. This was done merely to get rid of some of the r:ngleaders who obstructed the street. The fighting was continued at intervals up Centre-street to the Tombs, where another force was in waiting. By this time there must have been, at the lowest calculation, a crowd of some 4,000 persons. The assault with brickbats and stones was kept up until after Koine was safely lodged in the prison. The captured prisoners charged with the riot and attempt to rescue a prisoner charged with felony, were conveyed into the prisonyard, and, certainly, a bloody sight they exhibited. The ininzies principally were scalp wounds, made by the policemen's clubs." SUPPOSED CHILD MURDER. NOTTINGHAM, MoNDAY. — Considerablesonsation was created yesterday in the neighbourhood of the Castle, in consequence of the body of another child being found in a dyke near the river Leen. _ A short time ago Mr. Oswald Garratt, a joiner, ob-,. set Ted near the same place a dark - coloured bag, in pos session of a man who was w a al s k t i o n n g . that way in company with a boy.

From the continental houses the spinners find rather more inquiry. But still the operations of the day, though of fair, are not of great aggregate extent. For domestics the demand is growing, especially from the home buyers, who are also found by the makers of shirtings and good printing cloths to be doing a not inconsiderable amount of business in those fabrics. ROCHDALE, 1 - 10 - .;DA Y.- - We have had a very fair demand for low priced goods, but pieces of finer quality have not met with so ready a sale. Upon the whole there has been an average amount of bu siness transacted at former prices. The wool dealers have light stocks on hand, and say they cannot re place those stocks to sell at the present price. _MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The demand for silk manufactured goods is somewhat irregular; but, on the whole, the market appears to be in a more healthy state than it has been for some time past. The thrown silk market continues healthy, and trans actions of the past week have been to a fair extent, both for home and continental purposes.—Raw silk market : We have no particular feature to notice. Prices are reported without any alteration.—The Macclesfield weavers are now without any trade re gulation as to prices paid, which are left to the natural influences of supply and demand. Two attempts have been made to call meetings on the sub ject, but they have been treated with indifference by the weavers generally. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—OHT Piece Hall has been but thinly attended by buyers. The manufacturers are asking higher prices, to meet the adva nce u p on yarn ; but they are not generally able to obtain them. The tone of the yarn market is improving. The spinners are full of orders, and the quotations are a shade better. Wool is scarcely so active, and prices remain as they were. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY. - -There has been a moderate attendance of buyers in the town to-day, but their transactions have not been very heavy. On the whole, a pretty even market, but not so good as is generally expected in August, that should be one of the busiest months in the year. There are a good many manufacturers working to order, and conse quently deliver all their new patterns direct, so that they do not get into the markets. T d SUN, IRELAND.

THE BERESFORD BRIBERY CASE. _ _ --- DERBY, MONDAY.—The legal gentlemen engaged in preliminarily investigating the charge of bribery at the late election in this borough have, it is said, obtained a great deal of important evidence —among other things a number of letters from the Secre tary at War, in addition to the one already before the public, intimately connecting him with the recent corruptions, and evidencing a very close intimacy be tween himself and Frail of Shre7sb Shrewsbury. The evidenc e to be adduced before a commission of i nquiry will unfold many interesting facts, not i the least interest ing of which will be the manner n which the doi ngs of the corruptionists were brought to light. To show that no effirts calculated to frustrate the "knavish tricks" of their opponen ts were spared by the Libe rals, we may observe that det ective s from Lon don, ob. tained at their instigation, w ere in the town, b o th during the election and for a week previous, disguised as commercial travellers, an d were locat ed at the quarters by the To r y party. hotels selected as head quarters of the men employed in bribing .the electors were strangers from Nottingham and . Liverpool, but chiefly from the town last named, where it is believ e d t h ey had been practising their nefarious arts for som e d ays pre viously in favour of Messrs. Tu r n e r and Mackenzie. Mr. Foreshaw, Mr. Horsfall's sol i citor , has for some days been at the King's Head Hotel in Derby, en deavouring to get up a counter case, b ut w i t h out success, the Liberal party having throughout stea dily abstained from illegal methods of obtaining votes. As soon as Sharrack, . the man who impea c h e d the Tory agents for having bribed him with tw o sove reigns, had finished giving his evidence, he was served with the notice required before recovering the penalty imposed by the recent Act upon parties receiving bribes, and . it is belie ve d this foolish proceeding is likely to be earned on, regardless of the fact that the plaintiffs in the ea!_e are ex p os i ng man y of their own friends to the cer tainty of having to contend with similar actions in re taliation.

NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) This morning, an action of trespass of no interest having been disposed of, and another cause referred, the civil business of the assize was concluded. His Lordship then disposed of several criminal cases. 7 homas Marsden, aged 20, and Robert Ainscough, aged 29, were indicted for night poaching at Bre therton,on the 6th of August instant. Mr. John Cross conducted the prosecution ; the prisoners were undefended. It appeared that on the night in question a game keeper to Mr. Leigh Keck, named John Ainsworth, was out watching his master's preserves at Brether ton, along with another watcher, named Moss, when he suddenly put his foot into a gin. This induced him and the watcher to conchal themselves near, ex pecting those who bad set the gin to come for it. They watched about an hour, when they saw h the prisoners at the bar. One of these men went straight rs to n the e('m gin up, ad two took of it w up, when the witness and his compan i on rus h e d ou t of teme their hiding-place to sei ze hi m. H e , h owever , imme diately werehen Douglas, across which he s wam , and escaped. The witness A took s Ainsworth t h flight, an d j umpe d i n t o th e r i ve r and Moss then seized the two pri soners. Marsden told them to stand off, and, raising the barrel of a gun with which he was armed, swore he would cut Ainsworth in two with it ; he was about striking him with it, when the witness Moss caught hold of it behind him as he raised it, and twisted it out of his hands. Marsden was seen shortly before to pull out of his pocket and throw away twenty snares, which were afterwards found. The prisoners, in defence, said they were out fishing and duck shooting. His LORDSHIP having summed up, The jury found both prisoners Guilty. His LORDSHIP sentenced the prisoner Marsden to be imprisoned twelve calendar months, and Ains cough nine calendar months, with hard labour.

Mark Warburton, aged 27, and Aaron .Neville, aged 26, were indicted for the wilful murder of Betty Croston, at Livesey, on the 10th of April last. , Mr. Whigha m and Mr. MacOu b rey appeare d for the prosecution ; M r. B la i r defen d e d t h e pr i sone r Ne ville, and Mr. M onk the other prisoner. The deceased bourer, who li ve d a b out two miles from Bl ac kb urn , it appeared, was the wife of a la and was fifty-two years of ego. She waa returning from Blackburn market in the evening of the 10th of April, when she went into a public-house, called the Weaver's Arms, at Darwen, and, after remaining there some time, she and four women, neighbours, and a man named Cowgill, proceeded towards Far mers'-row, where she lived, and in going there had to cross a bridge, called Nova Scotia-bridge, over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The deceased went over the bridge, and along the towing path, the rest of the party going by the turnpike-road. The women told Cowgill to go with the deceased as she was the worse for drink, and he accordingly followed her. After walking some way with her, the two prisoners came up, and proceeded to take liberties with the deceased, and to pull her about indecently, Cowgill begging them to let her alone as she was his old mother. The prisoners then attacked and struck him, and drove him away, running after him for some distance. Shortly after the women on the turnpike-read heard the deceased cry out, " John, John ! I'll warm you for this ; I'll mark you for this." Cowgill went home, and, the deceased being missing, the canal was searcieed and drags were obtained, and about a quarter of a mile from the place where the prisoners had scuffled with Cowgill, the body of the deceased was found drowned. The prisoners were identified by a witness named Lawen, who met them following Cowgill and the old woman, and the witness stated that they said t o hi m , " Th e old man could not do the job, and they wou ld de it for him." Another witness also identifi e d th e m, who met them going after Cowgill. A man named Howarth stated that he heard a cry from the canal of "Help me out, helf me out !" but it was dark, and be could see nothing. He saw two men run across a field 30 or 40 yards off, and he called to them to come and help, but they made no answer. Another witness spoke to hearing the noise in the canal, and on seeing the prisoner Neville walk up along the towing-path and ask, " What's up?" Witness replied that there was a woman drownin g in the canal. They then heard the woman cry, 44 John, John !" and heard a " blobble" in the water, and witness said, "If it's her she's drowned now." The prisoner Warburton then came up and said, "It's John Croston's wife drowning." When searching for the body one of the prisoners said to a watchman named Booth that they had leathered the chap who was with John Croston's wife, thinking he was going to do some thing wrong to her. Both prisoners, on being taken into custody, protested their innocence of the charge, but Warburton's hands and face were scratched as if by finger nails. The body of the deceased, when found, had several slight braises and scratches upon it. At the close of the case for the prosecution his Lonnsuir thought the evidence insufficient to sub stantiate jury Acquitted the pri soners. His Louusurr expressed a strong feeling of abhor the charge, and the rence at the drunkenness, coarseness, and brutality, w ho had been brou g ht b e f ore hi m i n t h e cases ex hibited by the lower class o f th e popu l at i on o f thi s The prisoners were afterward s t r i e d f o r an assault on Cowgill, and fo u n d Guilty.

Bird was also con victed of a burglary and sentenced to be transported. In the course of the of JJ.2 evening Al 0IA A RV all the pri soners bad irons put on both legs, and 14 of them were put into one room to sleep. There was sacking su spended as hammocks, on which the pri soners slept in their cloth es , as there was neither bed nor covering. At ten o'clock at ' night the governor of the S o merset county gaol went into the wards and saw that all was right. At twelve o'clock at night the governor sent a guard to see whether all a nd he reported was quiet, that all was well. The turnkeys and guards had no other accommodation than a form in a passage into which the doors of the different wards opened. At the corner of this parti cular room, o pposite the entrance door, was a door, leading into a long passage, at the end of which was a watercloset for the use of the prisoners in that room. About four o'clock this morning one of the prisoners in that room knocked at the door, and told the turn keys that Sparrow and Bird were off. The officers of course instantly went into the room, and found that a hole had been made through the wall, immediately over the seat of the watercloset, and upon searching about part of a pair of ton gs, ab ou t a f oo t i n l ength, and which had been c h a i ned to a fireplace which was in the room, was discovered to have been broken from the chain, and evidently was the instrument with which the hole bad _ been made. Th e pr i soners were both heavily ironed on both l egs . Th e fi rst man must have got out legs first, and then dropped about nine or ten feet into a shallow stream of water. He could then easily have helped hi s f ellow pr i soner out. Having got out of the water, they were in the yard of an inn which was shut up by high gates, and there were the traces of the irons on the paint, made as the men were getting over the gates. They were then in the open country with thick w oo d s and standing corn and beans. The go vernor of the county prison (Mr. Oakley) was immediately in formed of these facts, an d he took such measures as circumstances permitted. He sent out the city po_ lice, all the javelin men who remained in the city, and had several special constables sworn, and all had instructions to make the most diligent search throu g h_ out the woods and fields, but it is known that Spar row has on a former occasion remained concealed i n a wood for a month. The greatest difficulty the Con victs will have will be the removal of their irons, as they are steel hardened ; at the same time, with such a man as Sparrow, it may well be supposed that he had some friends ready to assist him. He had for some time been cohabiting with the daughter of Magg3, who was tried with him for the Frome murder, and Miss Magge has a considerable sum of money in her possession. Mr. Oakley states that from the weight of the irons it would be impossible for them to go faster than two miles an hour. It fortunately happens that, in the co urse of tho week Mr. Oakley had written to the g ran d jury, end had spoken to the judge upon the insecure and inefficient state of this gaol, and the judge had sent to the town clerk, and, as was understood, had Suggested to him that something should be done, a n d after this escape the judge and the high sheriff visited the spot, and, as we have been told, completely exo nerated the officers of the prison from all blame. Over .and over again have observations appeared complain.. mg of the abominable arrangements of this Wells prison.

TuRNPIIKE TEUSTS.—The fourth number of the county reports of the Secretary of State, under the 3d and 4th William IV., c. 80, relat ive to the count y of H ampshire ha s b een printed. After tracing the formation of the roads' in the county from the earliest periods, the report points out the alterations made in the expenditure, and, other particu lars, since the passing of the Turnpi ke Trusts Act in 1833 , and the General Highway Act of 1E35. The total income in 1834 Was 28,0351. 03. 9d. ; in 1850 it was 19,504/. 163. 84. The total e XP u nditUre in 18 1 4 v 4 , 3 11 26,6651' 9s. sd.

We visited the room in which these 14 prisoners had been confined, and a more disgust.. ing place could not be imagined—a dirty stable would have been far preferable. BRISTOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING. A letter has just been received from the governor, stating that Sparrow and Bird have been captured, and safely lodged in Shepton Mallet gaol, but we have not yet been furnished with any particulars. The Commission for holding the assizes for the city of Bristol was opened here yesterdcy afternoon by Mr. Baron Platt. For the first time the clerk of assize and associate, regularly belonging to the Western Circuit, have taken their proper seats in this court, the local associates having been removed. This augurs well, and we may hope yet to see Bristol placed in its proper position, having the assizes twice a year, and a gaol delivery before the judges of assize on the Western Circuit. There are 19 causes for trial, four of which are marked for special juries. The bad ventilation and inconvenience of the court still continue. GOODMAN V. HEMMETT. Mr. Butt and Mr. Barstow were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Kinglake and Mr. Smith for the defendant. This was an action for the recovery of 901. under the following circumstances :—The plaintiff had been a straw plait manufacturer at Dunstable in Bedford shire, and the defendant was a shipowner in this city. The defendant had advertised the ship Deborah to sail for Australia, to proceed to the gold diggings. The plaintiff was desirous of trying his fortune in those regions, and he went to Mr. Dobbins, the ship's agent, and secured two of the best berths in the ves sel for himself and wife, at the sum of 901., which sum he paid; but as the plaintiff was anxious that imper tinent inquiries should not be made by his creditors, he transacted this part of the business in the name of Buckingham ; and be had determined, in order to ensure his future success, to procure as many pack ages as he could. The creditors, however, became' suspicious, and understanding goods had been sent to Mr. Dobbins, they telegraphed that gentleman, who, knowing nothing of Mr. Goodman, telegraphed back that he had not received any such goods. However, it was subsequently discovered that the goods had reall been sent by the plaintiff, and a writ of capias was issued, and it was believed by the creditors that the plaintiff's travelling name was Goodwin. The vessel had gone out to Kingroad, and the officers to whom the writ was given proceeded to Lamplighter's-hall and inn, near Kingroad, with the view of going -on board the De borah at daylight, believing the plaintiff to be in the ship. The officers got into conversation with the landlord, and asked him if he had any one in the house of the name of Goodwin who was about to pro ceed to Australia. The landlord replied that he had no one in the house of that name, but there were Mr. and Mrs. Buckingham. It would seem that, al though this was in the middle of the night, the plain tiff heard some inquiries, and thinking that, as the best way to pay his creditors would be to proceed to the gold diggings, and that if he went on board at once there might be a sudden chance of wind, to the " ultimate" benefit of the creditors, he called out to the landlord that he desired to leave the house di rectly. A person was in company with the officer who perfectly well knew, not only the person, but the voice of the plaintiff, and he directly said, " That is our bird come into our net." They . proceeded up stairs and took possession of their prize. Mr. Dob bins, finding the plaintiff could not go on board, let the berths to a second class pa , senger, who was on board, and the ship sailed. The cred itors then claimed a return of the 901., and the defendant, who was the owner of the ship, refusing to pay it, the present ac tion was brought for the benefit of the creditors. The legal proof in the - case, according to the opi nion of the Learned Baron, failing as to the contract. Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE addressed the jury upon the breach of it by the defendant, contending that there was no proof of the berths having been let to any one else, or that the plaintiff ever claimed them. The Learned BARON, in summing up, observed that the plaintiff had never presented himself at any time to take possession of his berths, and, there fore, until he did so, there could be no breach, and there was no evidence of the berths having been let to any one else. The verdict was therefore entered for the defendant. A bill of exceptions to the ruling of the Learned Judge was tendered. CHESTER, Wednesday, Aug. 11. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice CROMPTON.) Ellen Roberts, aged 24, was charged with the wil ful murder of her illegitimate child on the 7th of May last. The prisoner pleaded "Not Guilty," Mr. Davison appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. M'lntyre defended the prisoner. From the statement of the case by the Learned Counsel for the prosecution it appeared that on the 26th of April last, the prisoner, who was then residing as a domestic servant in the house of Mr. Hughes, at Liverpool, was delivered of a male child, and that on the Bth of May she took the child away from lodgings in which it had been placed, and, under the pretence of taking it out to nurse, conveyed it from Liver pool across the Mersey, to Bidston-marsh, where she left it. The child was found the same afternoon, about 5 o'clock. It was taken to the house of the overseer of Bidston, where it died at 6 o'clock the following morning. The Learned Counsel hav ing detailed all the facts of the case, called several witnesses. The principal evidence was that of Rose Ann Smith, who stated that she was a char wonian in the house of Mr. Hughes, builder, of Park street, Liverpool. After deposing to the birth of the child on the 26th of April, she said that on that day, in the course of a conversation between Mrs. Hughes, the prisoner, and witness, the prisoner said , sp eakin g of the child, " I will never give it suck or pull my self down by it. I will soon get something to banish suck from me." Mrs. Hughes then said to witness, " Well, Mrs. Smith, if she will not take to the child, you take it home and take particular care of it." Witness then took the child to her house, a nd it re mained there 12 days. On the 7tla of, May, wit ness went to the lodgings of the prisoner, who had in the mean time left the service of Mr. Hughes. Pri soner asked witness to let her have the child, as she wanted r to take it out to Bootle to nurse for 3s. a week. On the following day witness met the pri soner by appointment and gave her the child. The next morning witness again saw the prisoner, who told her that she had left the child very comfortable with a good nurse at Bootle, and paid her for a quarter in hand, at the rate of 3s. a week. On the Saturday week following, seeing an account in the Liverpool Courier of an inquest which had been held upon a child found on Bidston-marsh on the same day on which witness gave the deceased child to the prisoner, with a description of the clothes worn by the child so found on Bidston•marsh, curiosity led her to go to the authorities, who were in possession of the clothes, when she identified the clothes as the same which the prisoner's child had on when witness gave the child to her. Upon this, witness gave in formation, and the prisoner was taken into custody at her lodgings in Liverpool. In the presence of the policeman who took her into custody, witness asked the prisoner what she had done with the child, when she replied, " I never had a child." In cross-examination the witness said she under stood that Mr. Hughes's son was the father of the child. Several other witnesses were called, one of whom was a labourer employed on Bidston-marsh on the Bth of May. He said he saw the prisoner on Bid ston-marsh on the Bth, with something in her arms which he thought was a child. Other witnesses de posed to seeing her on Bidston-marsh and in the neighbourhood on the afternoon of that day. The surgeon, in his evidence, stated that the child found on the marsh died from exposure and want of nourish ment. _ _ Mr. M'INTYRE then addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner in an eloquent and ingenious speech, contending that the capital charge could not be sus tained. He admitted that the prisoner had at least been guilty of great negligence to her offspring, but he thought the jury must stop there, and decline to find her guilty of a murder. His LORDSHIP summed up, and pointed out to the jury the law as it applied to the case before them, showing the distinction drawn between what consti tuted murder and what formed manslaughter. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of man slaughter, and she was sentenced to seven years' transportation. William Thomas, aged 23, was placed at the bar, charged with the wilful murder of his mother, Eliza beth Thomas, at Prenton, near Birkenhead, on the 31st of July last. The prisoner pleaded "Not guilty," and on being placed at the bar his countenance did not indicate any of those symptoms of insanity which have been im puted to him. He maintained a stoical indifference to his situation as the trial proceeded, but occasionally looked frowningly on the different witnesses, and several times cast expressive glances at the Learned Counsel and the witnesses when particular questions were asked, as if taking especial interest in them. Mr. DAVISON stated the case on behalf of the pro secution. the court being unusually crowded at the time. He said that the prisoner at the bar was in dicted for the wilful murder of Elizabeth Thomas, and it was his painful duty to tell the jury that the deceased Elizabeth Tho mas was his own mother. It was right, however , t o relieve their minds f rom th e painful feeling which the bare mention of such a crime was calculated to excite by tolling them that neither h i mse lf (the!, Learned C ounse l) nor any other o bj ec t in those who instru c t ed him Had view than to layh cas.7 IJr the Prosecution fairly before tlicui.

Captain Ackerley was summoned before Mr. Bingham to show cause why he detained certain papers belonging to Pierre Basquet, an Indian chief. The complainant, on previous application at this court, explained to the magistrate that he had certain claims upon, or representations to make to, the Colo nial-office on behalf of himself and tribe, relative to certain lands of which they bad been dispossessed; that he had come to England about thirteen months ago to prosecute those claims; that, unluckily, he was seen in the s t reet on h i s way to the Colonial office by Captain Ackerley ; that he was induced to place himself and papers in the hands of Captain Ackerley, who undertook to use his influence with Government to get justice done to himself and people ; that he had discovered, after some months' delay, he had made a mistake in allowing Captain Ackerley to have anything to do with his business ; and that, being now desirous of returning home, he bad applied, but in vain, for the restoration of his papers, some of which were official. Captain Ackerley came to the court at an early hour, and obtained summonses against several gentle men connected with the Colonial and Government offices. The only summons which Police-constable Robarts could serve was a summons addressed to a gentleman named Elliott. At three o'clock, Captain Ackerley having made his appearance with a considerable number of papers, Mr. BINGHAM requested he would tell him shortly why he detained the papers?—Captain Ackerley proceeded to say that in 1851 he met the man Pierre Basquet in the street, and bearing in mind that in 1820 be had been sworn in sponsor for the Indians ; that on the occasion of taking an Indian to the Bay of Exploits he had been told to pull off his uniform, and to perform service as a clergyman, that he had so performed service for some time, but in consequence of the Indian being turned cut into the open air, death ensued; and having sent a report to Lord Dal• bousie, and afterwards received his commission as lieutenant, he came to England, and was put into the rules of the peace for Middlesex and Worcester. At this point of the story Mr. Vaughan interposed, and reminded the Captain it would be advisable to come to the case of Pierre Basquet without further delay. Captain Ackerley said, he saw Pierre Basquet in the street, and, being of opinion his duties as Indian sponsor came into requisition, he took charge of the applicant's business. He corresponded with the Co lonial-office, and ascertained that Earl Grey had re cognised the position of the applicant, giving him the medal he then wore, and a union-jack to hold as his emblem of authority, connected with the fisheries. Being desirous that the correspondence should be con ducted in a regular way he had taken charge of it. Some of the correspondence was regular, and some irregular. In some of the letters the applicant was described as " Bosquet," and in others as Basquet." The consequence of this was that the American Go vernment would not recognise him at all, and refused to defray about 2001. expenses, to which he (Captain Ackerley) had been put for the maintenance of the applicant, and for the proper prosecution of was,his cl aim s . however, desirous of carrying conscienti ouslyout w the trust confided to him,ando e nly papers, waited aid as for he the magistrate's orders to give up the was anxious to prevent an impression from going abroad that he had thrown the man off, and had acted unfairly towards him. Mr. BINGFIAM—You do not approach the point I have to decide. You detain the papers of Pierre Banquet, and you must show me some reason why you do so. I presumed the reason you would offer would be that you had done some meritorious services, and that you detained the papers until you were paid. Captain Ackerley—That is the real meaning of the thing. Mr. BINGHAM—WeII, then, as I have correctly surmised the truth, there is an end of the matter. No person has a right to detain papers fur expenses in curred except an attorney for expense in a suit of law, and you are not an attorney. Captain Ackerley—Oh, but I am an attorney. Mr. BINGHAM—Not an attorney such as the law contemplates. If you have any claim for expenses you must proceed in a civil court. You cannot de tain the papers on that ground. Captain Ackerley—l, have no claim against you give man. My claim is against G overnment for mi leage. up M th r e . B pa lN pe Gi r li s A . You —T I have l imy y shown deei n s i on o sri th ght to them, and it is not disputed they belong to the applicant. Captain Ackerley immediately restored the papers and then asked if he was still bound to maintain the applicant ? Mr. BINGHAM said the applicant had no claim upon Captain Ackerley for maintenance. The course for Captain Ackerley to take was to deliver the applicant to the relieving-officer, who would no doubt do his duTtyh.e chief having expressed no re l uctance to accede to this proposition, Captain Ackerley left the tour with him.

A well-dressed youn g o- man, a foreigner, who gave hi s name Ferdinand Jus and said that he was a Swede, was placed at the Se b n a ' r before Mr. Broughton, charged with having stolen a valuable gold watch, the property of Mr. Cornelius Heseltine, residing at No. 12, Nfur from fo r d- h p a l aee more futur ' e serious Edgeware-road ; and it will be seen m w p q r u i i s r o y n , etrhuant aa what transpired in the course of the in daloy.ai charge with regard to for gery will, in all probability, be brought against the The prosecutor, on being sworn, said—The pri soner came to my house last Thursday, and I agreed for him to board and h lode with l me.
