MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. On Thursday there was a numerous meeting of the magistrates for the county of Middlesex at Hicks's Hall, Clerkenwell-green, for the disposal of certain matters of business connected with the county.—Mr. C. Devan took the chair. Mr. H. Pownall was then re-elected chairman of the sessions for the ensuing year, accompanied by many eulogistic observations upon the conduct of the Hon. Gentleman during the past year, and the very able manner in which he discharged the onerous duties which were attached to that office. Mr. Powsum. was then introduced into the court, and on re-assuming his former position as Chairman, re turned his thanks for the re- election. THE CORONERS' ACCOUNTS. The Denufv-Clerk of the Peace having read the report of the " Conakeittee for Accounts and General Purposes," Captain COTTERELL rose and said, he was reluctantly called upon to direct the attention of the Court to one of the items in the account of :dr. Waltley, the coroner, which was a charge for the expenses attendant upon an inquest said to have been held within his district. He had some personal knowledge of this particular case, and in consequence of the circumstances which had reached him hi reference to it, he could not but say that it was too bad that the funds of the county should be voted away without what he considered a suffi cient inquiry. There were so many of these cases that, in his opinion, the Court was bound co look more closely into them. The case to which he was anxious par ticularly to allude was that of George Plummer, a little boy who had been suffocated on the 21st of June last, by falling into a cesspool at Barnet. The day the accident had occurred nutice of the event had been forwarded to Mr. Wakley, but as the friends did not hear anything from that gentlemen as to the in quest, on the second day afterwards they determined, .as the body had become very much decomposed, to put it into the coffin and have it screwed down. On the fifth day the deputy-coroner, Mr. Mills, came down, but then the child's friends were opposed to the coffin being opened, upon the ground that they wished to be spared the pain of seeing the child in such a condition of further decomposition as the addi tionel lapse of time must have produced. Upon this Mr. Mills said, that if the friends would bring the man before him who had screwed down the coffin lid, he would, to meet the wishes of the family, dis pense with the " view " of the body, and at once take the evidence as though the " view " had taken place. Tho friends at once assented to this ar rangement, and the inquest, such as it was, was held. Now, for that inquest he found Mr. Wakley had charged 16s. To that item, therefore, under the circumstances, he should object. Mr. A RMSTP.ONG considered that for the sake of so sm -11 a sum as 16-. it was scarcely worth while to alter th. .ceotint. Mr. Sergeant ADAMS said, that, in truth, there had not been amv inquest, because there had been no" view" of the bode. and therefoz.e, in his opinion, the county could not to called upon to pay. Captain COTTELLELL observed, that his objection was not to the vat/mint, but to the principle. After some further discussion the item was ordered to be struck out of the account. The report was then received. STATE or THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION. The report or the visiting justices of the House of Correction stated, that there were at the date of the re port as many as 1,206 prisoners in confinement within • its wali . This report also set forth, in official terms, the recent murder of one of the officers of that prison, named Woodhouse, by a prisoner of the name of llew son, who had since been convicted and condemned to death at the Central Criminal Court. It likewise an nounced that the county solicitors had been instructed to defend an action which had been commenced against Colonel Chesterton, the governor of the prison, by a • person of the name of Pollett, who had been com mitted to that gaol by the judge of the county court at Whitcclmpel. The report then went on to say, that a memorial had been received by the visiting . justices from the widow of Woodhouse, praying for pe• cuniary assistance, and that as the committee had no funds at their disposal for such a purpose, they had trans ferred the appeal to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with the hope that as the Government had been 'vet the expense of the prosecution, they would, if possible, afford the poor woman some aid. The` report was received and adopted. THE WESTMINSTER EftIDEWELL. The report of the visiting justices for this prison re comtnended that there should be an additional chaplain appointed to the prison, at a salary of 2001. a year. (This reeommendation was, after the report had been read, turned into a notice of motion for the next county day.) The report was received and adopted. THE ROUSE OF DETENTION. The report of the visiting justices of the House of Detention, Clerkenwell, was next read, when it appeared that it contained 106 prisoners, of whom 77 were males, and 29 were females. This report also alluded to the suicide of one of the prisoners. The report was received and adopted. HOUSES OF INDUSTRY. Mr. ARMSTRONG, pursuant to his notice on this subject on the last county day, now rose to move— " That as great numbers of the male and female pri soners discharged from the prisons of this county, from being totally ignorant of any trade or business, and for ' want of au honest calling, have no means of obtaining a livelihood, and are consequently, tempted again to the immediate commission of crime, whereby they again and again incur the penalty of the law, to the great injury of society rind heavy expense to the ratepayers of the county, it is expedient that this Court sanction the establishment of a voluntary House of Industry to which such discharged prisoners may resort for in struction in some useful employment, handicraft, or trade, by the industrious exercise of which they may be rescued from the temptations incident to ignorance, idrenees. and vice, and be no longer a disgrace to the community and a burden on the public ; and that a committee be appointed to consider and report to this Court ou the best mode of establishing the same, and to • What extent." Mr.- J. Wessex must object to this motion being proceeded 'MU), especially as the Court were without any power to vote away money to carry out such an ob ject as was Wight by his Hon. Friend to be carried out. Mr. Wieees fully concurred in the observations of the last Holt Member of that bench. The course the Hon. Gentleman on the other side of the court (Mr. Arm strong) should adopt was to give notice of a motion to petition both Houses of Parliament for powers to apply funds to this particular object. The CHAIRMAN considered that-this motion could not be entertained by the Court in its present form. Eventually Mr. ARMSTRONG withdrew his motion, and gave notice that on the next county day he would bring the matter forward in its amended form. sk variety of other business having been disposed of, the -meeting separated. ELECTION COMMITTEE. DUBLIN. The Committee were occupied the whole of Saturday in hearing counsel argue pro and con. as to the validity of the grand jury cess rate. At the termination of the argument the room was cleared, and the Committee, after a short deliberation, decided that the cess was not legally due at the time the election took place. The rumour is revived that Lord Hardinge is to succeed Lord Clarendon as Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. It has been thoug'at that the appointment of a military Governor would have the effe c t of irritating the already sufficiently irritable Irish, and so the change has been postponed until the country is comparatively tranquil, and free felons upon paper have become incarcerated felons on bread and water.—United Service Gazette, INVALID DEPOT, CDATRAM.-1,702 invalids, wait ing their final discharge from their respective regiments, are now at this place, where their cases will be decided on by the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital, for the purpose of being placed on the pension list. Th at b o ard granted pensions to near 5,000 men daring th e year 1847.—Ibid. Captain Robert Fitzßoy (1834), late Governor of New Zealand, and who commanded the Rhadamanth a , steam-vessel on her first being fitted, it is confidently reported will have the command of the new 46-g un frigate Arrogant, when she has her screw propeller m a . chinery fitted.—/bid. HER MAJESTY'S DOCKYARDS.-0a making a p ro .. motion recently of an officer who had shown great supe riority over his competitors, the Board of Admiralty, i n a public minute, expressed on anxious desire that the artificers of her Majesty's dockyards should be thoroughly satisfied that merit alone is considered in the selection of men for advancement; and that by perse verance and ability they may obtain the highest honours and the highest position in their department. Their Lordships desired to impress upon the dockyard men that their patronage is distributed with the strictest im .partislity. We recommend the Admiralty not only to avow but to practise the same impartiality in the selec tion of officers for promotions and appointments in the navy !—lbid. A greater proof cannot be afforded of the ex cessive poverty of the island of St. Vincent than is fur nished by the account of a conference between the mem bers of the Assembly and the Lieutenant-Governor of the colony. It appears that a supply of rifles was ap plied for some months since, " when the colony vral in a position to defray the cost thereof," but now that they have arrived —some time having intervened since they were ordered—the colony is too impoverished to pay for them. It is, therefore, asked that the rifles be made a grant to the colony.—lbid. THE IRISH " FELox."—The back of rebellion was fairly broken in Ireland by the arrest, trial, and de parture of Mitchel. Since then, Lord Cl aren d on h as placed it on the rack, and joi n t by joint he dislocated the monster. Duffy has been stopped—Meagher is in thi, bands of the law; nod now Messrs. M'Gee and Hollywood have been arrested. Bat little sympathy is manifested by the people. They appear heartily tired of se dition, and its effects upon the general prosperity of the country.—lbid. THE MURDER AT LIVERPOOL.—The inquest on the body of the woman Gallagher has resulted in the committal of her husteind fur the capital offence. The other man was discharged. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JULY 14.—A large b.i.in,iss has been transacted this week both in Bri tish plantation and foreign descriptions, at stea dy pr ices. Xor ruin we are still without inquiry.—Br i sto l Mercury. RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday morning, one of the guards on the Caledonian Railway lost his balance by his head coming in contact with a bridge while leaning over a carriage to look at a wheel sup posed to be on fire, and falling off the train he was killed on the spot.

Of Fish Oils arrivals are upon an enlarged scale, and in consequence of a falling off in the demand, sellers are willing to accept reduced rates for all descriptions. None, however, has been submitted to public sale this week. Pale Seal can be obtained at 241., yet the purchases made have been immaterial. For other sorts the market has a dull aspect. Southern is not much required, and prices 'are on the decline. Holders of Cod are willing to make a further concession in the value, yet the amount-of business concluded has been small at 241 to 24155. Sperm met with little atten tion, and there are sellers of good and fine quality at 74/ to 761. The supply yet exceeds the wants of the trade, and prices tend downwards. Lard Oil has been dealt in with caution, at 42s to 465, whilst Ground Nut Oil is dull of sale, at 37s to 37s 6d per cwt. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Hertford, July 14. CROWN SlDE—(Before Mr. Justice Coirarear). John Hayes, 21, was indicted for feloniously setting fire to an outhouse, the property of Joseph Gear, with intent to injure him. Mr. Ryland prosecuted. The prisoner was defended by Mr. I'. Chambers. The circumstances under which this charge was pre ferred were of rather an extraordinary character, for, although the prisoner was only arraigned upon one charge of arson, it came out in evidence that he must have been the author of three, incendiary fires almost simultaneously. A great number of witnesses were examined for the prosecution, the evidence being, as is usual in such cases, entirely circumstantial, but their concurrent testimony left no doubt of the guilt of the prisoner. It appeared that between seven and eight o'clock on Sunday evening, the 18th of June, just about the time when the inhabitants were returning from their different places of worship, the neighbourhood of Water ford, a village a short distance from Hertford, was alarmed by the sudden outbreak of three fires, one at an outhouse belonging to the prosecutor, a second at Waterford Mill, occupied by a Mr. Squire, and a third at Waterford Hall, in the occupation of a gentleman named Dorrington. Speedy means were, of course, taken to allay the conflagration; but this was not effected until a considerable amount of damage had been done. The evidence against the prisoner went to show that just before the fire broke out he was met by a labourer named Parish close to Gear's cottage, and he lost sight of him for a moment, and he observed him again very shortly, apparently coming from the out house in question, and Parish had not got more than a quarter of a mile from the spot when he heard the alarm of fire, and saw the place burning. The prisoner was then traced for some distance by several witnesses, till he arrived at Mr. Squire's, where a cow-house was fired, and here, as in the first case, immediately upon the dis covery of the tire the prisoner was seen creeping stealthily under a railing away from the spot. Not con tent with the mischief he had already effected, it wou ld seem that the prisoner proceeded directly to Waterford hall, where he set fire to the back of the premises, but the fire was fortunately extinguished without any serious injury being done by it. The prisoner then, it ap peared, retraced his steps by a circuitous route; but the hue and cry being raised, he was pursued and taken into custody, and conveyed by Inspector Dunn, of the Hertford police, to the lock-up in that town, and, on his being told that he was charged with causing three fires, and among them that one at Gear's, he replied, that was all right. It transpired in the course of the evidence, that the person who had fired Mr. Squire's premises must have passed through the backwater of the mill stream, and on the priioner's person being exa mined, it was found that his shoes and stockings were completely saturated with water, and the foot prints close to the fire also tallied exactly with the shoes worn by the prisoner at the time of his apprehen sion. These facts, and some other minor circum stances, left no doubt whatever of the guilt of the prisoner ; but the most singular part of the transac tion appeared to be, that it was not suggested that the prisoner had any motive for committing such acts as those imputed to him, and that there was not the least between him and the parties whose pre mises he had fired, except in the case of Gear, with whom he had only had a slight quarrel two years be. fore. It likewise appeared that the prisoner was in regular work, and bore a good 'character in the neigh bourhood. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. RYLAND said there were two other indictments for arson against the prisoner, but The COURT intimated that it would bo unnecessary to proceed with them. The Learned JUDGE then addressed the prisoner, and said ho had been convicted of an offence which was un happily of very frequent occurrence, and which called for exemplary punishment. If he had been charged with setting fire to a dwelling-house he should certainly have transported him fbr life, but as it was, he must expect a severe sentence. He then ordered him to be transported for fifteen years, OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Abingdon, July 15. James Weybury, Aged 33, was indicted for the man slaughter of Edwin Wiltshire, Y4let to General Sir Alexander Mackenzie. The catastrophe out of which the around of indict ment arose occurred at tho Shrivenhana station of the Great Western Railway, on the afternoon of the 10th of May, when the up express train erne into fearful colli sion with a horse box and cattle truck, which had been put on to the main line from a sliding at the above mentioned place. Eight passengers were killed, amongst whom were Captain flair, the inspecting com mander of the Coast Guard at Penzance, Rev. Mr. Phillips, and Rev. Mr. Sandys, Mr. Carrington ' with Mr. Skinner, conducted th e pro secution, and Mr. Williams defended. The whole facts having been so recent ly before the public it is not necessary to repeat the ua. We may state, however, that Weybury, with Willoughby, a labourer, placed the horse box and cattle truck partly on the main line, is order to get another t .ruck under a price EVF'NING- 3 JUIY4 luntarily given without any threats whatever having been held out on either occasion. Mr. ARNOLD 'considered that a prima facie case of gross extortion: had been clearly established against the prisoner, and he should order him to bu remanded for a week. crane, in order to unload it. Whilst so employed, the express train, which was twenty-one minutes behind its time, came up, and the station signal being all clear, it went on to the station, and came in fearful eollison with the obstruction. The train was travelling at sixty miles an hour, and some idea may therefore he formed of the violence of the shock. Weybury had been eight years in the service of the company. It was shown that he was perfectly aware of the signals, and that he ought not to have placed the trucks on the line when the signal indicated all clear, or, at least, he should have communicated with the signal-keeper (a policeman) to have put it on. On the other hand, it was stated that the policeman could have seen the obstruction, and ought to have put on the signal. In the course of a quarter of an hour another trai❑ would have followed the express. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against. Weybury and Willoughby, but the grand jury ignored the bill as regards the latter, consequently Weybury was tried alone. Mr. Williams then made a powerful address to the jury on behalf of the prisoner. To convict him it must be proved that he had exhibited a felonious amount of neglect. They hid heard that the express was twenty one minutes late. The prisoner believed that it had passed, and knowing that another train would follow it in the course of a quarter of an hour considered that the signet " clear" had reference to the letter train, and knowing that he would have time to move the trucks, proceeded to do so when the lamentable event took place. That was the answer, and he anxionsly.looked for an acquittal. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, the jury re turned a verdict of—Not Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Drury L. Wake, an individual who formerly held a commission in the 48th Native Bengal Infantry, was brought up for further examination on a charge of having attempted to commit an extensive fraud on Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, silversmiths, Bond-street, by means of a forged accept ance f or 12,500 ru pe es . The prisoner was also charged with having uttered several other forged East India bills, to other tradesmen, in payment of ;goods and as' security for advances of money. • Mr. Huniphreys appeared for the prosecution, and gave a short cutline of the nature of the charge against the prisoner. From . informati on pl ace d i n hi s h an d s it appeared that the prisoner :actually held a commission in the 48th Regiment of Native Infantry, and was ac quainted with the officers of that regiment and with their handwriting. For some reason; which he must omit to state, the prisoner left the East India Corm any's ser• vice. The prisoner had since been telring advantage of his former connexion withthe 48th Regiment,-and he had pasted a bill of exchange in England for 12,530 rupees, the bill purpOrting to bear the signature of Colitis, Troup, Frazer, and President of the Mesi Committee. The pri sonern,nglditeiciehoo.ot:untliadvilbseerebadiblllepttilloaetpeprortvioL,nwtehracslwa,e.ol:ct)tritgeoe r nm y t. . p9sos O or also produced a letter which he said was a letter of advice from Major Tamp, and advising him of the bill. T n h h u e e n strength e a l H 1. for the Mess Committee, and producing tlti letter and the bill, showed' the former to the cashier; end so far succeeded its n satisfying the party, that the prisoner was told if the references were co: rest the balance should be paid over to the prisoter. The prisaner se lected some studs and buttons, worth 101. and left the shop. It was afterwards found that the letter and bill were forgeriee. The Learned Gentleman then called, as witness, Lieutenant-Colonel James'Oram Clarkson, of the 48th Bengal Native Infantry, who stated that he was well ac quainted with Major Cohn Troup. The signature to the bill produced, dated 9th of April, 1848, for 12 ; 500 rupees, was not in Major Teoup's handwriting, and was a forgery. • The letter produced, bearing the same date and signature, was also a forgery. Cross-examined by Mr. W ontner—The last time he received a letter from Major Troup was in 1846. Was well acquainted with his handwriting. Witness was pre sident of the district court-martial, and in that capacity frequently received letters from Major Troup on official business. Major Troup always wrote in a bold and sharp style, whereas the handwriting in the letter pro. duced is small and cramped. Mr. Humphreys said he should not enter any farther into the case at present, as he must beg for remand, in order to be enabled to produce the witnesses in another case, where the prisoner had obtained upwards of 1401. from the Peninsular and Oriental .Steam-packet Com pany, upon a bill for 4,500 rupees. This bill had been sent out to India, and a notice had been received by the company of its dishonour. The bill was expected to arrive in a'few days, when he should be in a position to prove that it was a forgery. The prisoner was then remanded until Saturday next. Mr. Roberts, a tailor in Holborn, applied to Mr. Bing,- ham to allow the prisoner to deliver to him a quantity of new clothes, which, he had not paid for, Mr. BINGLIAIi desired the officer to give them up to applicant. Several other victims, amongst whom was the pri soner's laundress, applied to have their bills paid out of the money found upon the prisoners Mr. Humphreys said lee had not tbo least objection, providing the claims were authentic. The bills were then paid, and the parties left the Court. John Frederick Young, a waiter in the employ of Mr. Benjamin Caunt, landlord of the Coach and Horses, St. Martin's-lane, was placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with having„stolen several bottles of stout, soda-water, and a quantity of cigars. The prosecutor said the prisoner was employed by him as parlour-waiter, and to attend to the cellar-work. On Wednesday last the prisoner went into the cellar for some sand, and from information witness had previously received from_Mrs. Gaunt, he was induced to watch the prisoner's movements, The prisoner, after being in the cellar for a few minutes, came upstairs with a basket of sand, which he deposited in a cupboard near the par lour-door, and went away. During the prisoner's absence witness - examined the basket of sand, and found concealed therein four bottles of stout and a bottle of soda-water. Just at this moment the parlour bell rang, and the prisoner answered it, and received an order from a gentleman for a bottle of stout. Instead of coming to the bar, as he ought to hare done, the prisoner went to the basket of sand, took out a bottle of stout, and carried it to the gentleman, and received a shilling in payment for it. 'The prisoner was about disposing -of another in a similar manner, when witness collared him, and gave him in charge. On searching him, witness found several cigars, which he identified as part of his stock. Witness had since looked over his wine -cellar, and discovered that several bottles of wine had been abstracted, but he could not swear that the prisoner took them. The prosecutor added that the prisoner had been in prison since Thurs day last, and as he had a wife and young family depend ing on him for support, he would not press the charge further. Mr. BINGIZAM said the prisoner had had a narrow escape. If the prosecutor had not interceded for him in such a kind manner, he certainly should have sent him for trial. He now discharged him, trusting that this would be a warning to him to act honestly for the future. WORSHIP-STREET A:young man, named Frederick Augustine Moore, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Arnold, charged with having extorted various sums of money from Mr. Tho mas Phillips, a gentleman of property, residing at East side, Bethnal-green, under a threat that he would accuse him of conduct of an infamous description. Mr. Jarman attended, from the office of Mr. Hum phreys, the solicitor, to conduct the prosecution. The prosecutor, • an infirm and elderly gentleman , stated that the father of the prisoner was formerly the proprietor of some baths in Tabernacle-square, Finsbury, which he had been occasionally in the habit of visiting, and at which a younger brother of the accused was one of the attendants. Hs discontinued his visits to the es tablishment some years since, and saw no more of the prisoner until the 14th of November, 1846, when the latter accosted him as he was passing down the Hack ney-road, and:told him that he had been informed he had acted in an abominable manner towards his younger brother, and unless he gave him some money he would expose his conduct to the world. Witness indignantly denied the accusation, but was so greatly alarmed by the threats which the prisoner held out to him ; that he gave him two sovereigns , upon an assurance that he should never again be molested. Only a few weeks had a !apsed, however, when he was waylaid a second time by the prisoner, who imperatively demanded the sum of si, which he banded over to him under the threat that he would communicate the alleged transaction to his wife in the event of his refusal. On the Ist of March follow ing he was again stopped in the street by the prisoner and one of his brothers, who told him they must have p where he handed them another some more m one y, and enforced their demand with such menaces that he was induced to accompa n y them t o an adjoining public-house, 51. note, and t h e y gave a joint receipt for the money. Only nine his way to hi s r e sidence while he was seated at days after this transaction t he p risoner found dinner with some friends, and having requested to see him, w as s h own into the drawing - room , where the wife of witness, w ho had been partially made acquainted w ith th e object of his visit, immediate l y went to ing language and behaviour that she handed him him, and was so terrified b y his threaten five sovereigns, and he left the house with a promise that they should never again hear from him. The pri soner kept his word until the commencement of the present month, when the prisoner tapped him on the shoulder as he was leaving an omnibus, and again impor tuned him for money, which he positively refused to furnish him with, and hastily left, but had no sooner reached hom e than he received a perempt or y e p istle, stating that his brother, Ri c kthan, had just joine d him, and that they both intended shortly t o visit him to gether. On the following morning they accordingly presented themselves at his house , a nd the p risoner's brother having assured him that he was about starting for Australia, witness gave them 101., receiving a memorandum acknowledging the recept of that and the previous sums, and declaring that they would never again annoy or extort any more money from biro upon any pretence whatever, and that they al together disavowed any accusation they had previously made prejudicial to his characte r. A few days after he re ceived a letter, stating that th e p risoner required 231. more to enable him to leave th e countr y , and that he would call at his house to receive the money. On Fri day evening the prisoner came to his door, and after ringing' violently at the bell, until the handle came off in his hand, he commenced batterin g the door with a large stone which he brough t from the road, and con tinued his violent behaviour u ntil the p olice came up and took him into custody. Upon being called upon for his defence, the prisoner declared that at the time he accused prosecutor for of the im proprieties with his brother, he exclaimed, " sa ke, say nothing about it, and I shall alwa y s furnish God's you with any money you may require," and that the different sums which he subsequently received, were voT 11,' 1848 —W.

Bearing her make some observations respecting Buckinghamshire, they got into conversation, and partook of some stout and gin together. A little before tivelve o'clock he left the house, followed .by Courtney, who told him she was a married woman, and lived in Ewer-street, and that if, he would accompany her home she would introduce him to her bus bane. Believing from her statement that she was a respectable mechanic's wife, and that he might .know something of her husband, he went, with her, but ,as soon as they _entered she ran out and in a few minutes returned with the male 'prisoner, who came up to him and in the most insolent manner demanded what business he had in his house, and before he could return an answer he was knocked down by him, and kicked most violently in the face. The other female then came out of an adjoining room, and assisted in ill treating him, and whilo on the ground the prisoner Courtney took 1448. from his pocket and ran away. The other prisoner brutally kicked him, and exclaimed, "Lees murder the at. the same time he was thrown with great violence into the middle of the street. -His cries brought some persons to the spot, when he was taken to the hospital. He was certain that the priso ners were the persons who so brntally attacked him and robbed him. . Police-constable 44 M, said that on the night in ques-' tion he was informed that a murder had been committed 4n Ewer-street, and on hastening to the spot be found the complainant lying in the middle of the, street in tt . pool of blood. He procured assistance, and had him conveyed :to the hospital, after which he traced the blood to the house occupied by White, and on entering he found blood scattered about the floor, but he could not find anybody there, or gain any information respecting the parties who had committed the outrage. until the complainant reco vered, when complainant called at the .police-station, and gave the names of the priscnere. Witness bed been on the look-out for them ever since, but they eluded pursuit until the previous day, when they were apprehended in their " old haunt." In answer to the charge, the male prisoner said, that, he knew nothing whatever of Courtnay, but the other female was his wife. On the night of the first of July,. -he returned home a little before twelve o'clock, and on opening the door was much surprised at seeing the pro secutor sitting on his hel lie demanded his busil:eas there, and requested him to leave, and on his refusing to do so he took hold of him and carried him int., the, • street. He denies using any furdier violence . or any knowledge of the robbery. He had seen the protJ'eutor since then, when he told i.isl that he Would have acted in the same way had he been placed in his situation. He never intimated any intention of giving him in charge then. Complainant said it was true he had seen the man, but be had been advised not to give him into custody until he found Courtnay. • The latter prisoner denied the robbery, but said no • thing about taking the complainant to White's house. AL% said that be had no doubt they would have murdered the man bad they not so easily succeeded in robbing him et his money. It was quite clear . <they were all implicated in the„affair, therefore he should feel it his duty to, commit them all ;or trial at the ensuing summer assizes at Guild;ord.

Oa Friday last, Mr. Williiai i rayne, the City Coroner, held au inquest at thee, Welin Harp, Eisi•x- Whitelriars ' on the reiriairs of two persons found : in a cellar under the following e: ztraordinary - drown- stances:— Patrick Eadon, of .9, Angel- court, King-street, St. James's, said that on Wednesda y. afternoon last he was at woilz in the Cellar of No. 7, leydell-street, White frius, and whilst digging under, the stairs for the Par poso of forming a sewer, he ' found, about a foot berv.atti the surface of the grovis d, a great number of human bones. The bones were lying close to each other, and they appeared the perfect ckeletons of two persons. The earth where the .rs mains was found was about two or three inches lower than any other part of the cellar, which induced witme ss to believe that the flesh on the bodies had decayed, s.nd the earth a'.terwards fell in. Mr. George Cooper, surgeon, (,f Fleet street, sail that he had seen the bones. They appeared to have been those of two skeletons. The gr eater portion evidently belong to a female. He could siieak on that point from the bone of the pelvis. The thigh and leg bones belonged to a male, apparently about 25 co' 30 years of age. The female was alio a young person. It wpuld be impossible to tell how long they had been the place where th6T were found. Being only a foot:, below the surf:ice of the earth the, atmosphere would he able to act upon them and cause decomposition much *loner than if they were buried deeper. In answer to a question fro 11 the Coroner, the wit ness said that he had no doubt -when the b . 'mes were de posited in the celler they had tile flesh on them. Had they been used for anatomical purposes no one would have taken the' trouble to have kiuried them there. Ske letons used by the faculty have fle bones,wired together, but such was not the casein the present instance. — The CORONER read the paw s of the occupiers of the house since 1791, from which appeared that in 1830 it was a notorious house of me. Verdict—" That the bones find in the cellar of No. 7 are the remains of two human b eings, male and female, but under what circumstances! they were placed there there is not sufficient evidence tai show." MURDER OF A FATHER BY HIS TWO DAUG . B TERS. The inhabitants of this town NI ere at noon on Satur day, thrown into a state of um 16 ual excitement, by the reported murder of an old man.., named Joseph Stubbs, by his daughters, Sarah and A'oi . gail Stubbs. On has tening to the spot, we were shi ked to realise the truth of the rumour. The following are the particulars gleaned from Mrs. Stubbs, wid , )w of the deceased; and as we do not design to exagger ate the real facts of .the case, whatever they may be, we• ;shall give her statement to us. Mrs. Stubbs says—"Mr two. daughters, Sarah and Abigail, who live with me, had been doing some wash ing, which came to a few chillings and I gave each of them a shilling as their share. (lid not appear to satisfy them, for they commence -I abusing mo in a most shameful manner. Their fath sx , who was present, in terfered and took my part, whefi. I told my husband to put their boxes in the street at d to let them go after them. On hearing this, Sarna and Abigail went up aairs, and 'my husband folio tr xl them, but he had scarcely reached the top -of tl le stairs, when he was hurled down, and fell violently (Art his right ternple. I was just turning in at the door from the street, when : it took place, and hastened to my husband, who died in a few minutes. I was much corOased at the time, and hardly know what took place. My husband was very kind to me, and we scarcely ever:.had an ill word." The foregoing is-Mrs. Stubbs' account, who may haVe spoken to the best of .her knowledge ; but as she was almost deprived of all consciousness at the time, and as other statements are put forth, we are bound to say the general opinion is that great vi(4.mce was used by the daughters after the old man fell. The word of a per son, who, if he was not present, he d the means of gain ing every information, confirms several statements made to us, but for the accuracy of which we cannot pretend to answer—that the old man wns, while lying at the bottom of the stairs, kicked and eaten with a poker, or some such instrument. The two daughters generally bear a bad character, and have done so for some tune past. Their co►jduct to their parents has been uniformly bad, and those who have any knowledge of them are barely surprised at this dreadful act, which, though, perhaps, not premeditated, displays an amount of hardened feeling such as we have seldom met with. The unfortunate deceased was about sixty years of age, and earned a livelihood by letting out donkey and mule carriages. The accused have, been taken into cus tody by Inspector Young, and an inquest is expected to be held on Monday.—Harrogate AClVCitiStr. NAVAL IN TELLIGENCE. SAILING OF RE AR-AD =lt AL RAPIER'S SQUADRON. The Earl of Auckland, accompanied by Captain Milne, arrived at Portsmouth Dockyard on Friday evening, and dined with the Port Admiral Sir Charles 0r41, , . Rear- Admiral Sir Charles Napier, the Lord D J .: lies, Mr. Finchaus, and some of the captains of the fleet, formed the dinner-party. _ On Satuiday - morning Lord Auckland and Captain Milne were early in the field; and, attended by Mr. Fincham, went through the dockyard. At nine o'clock, his Lordship, Captain Milne, Lord De Ros, with several other persons, embarked from the new landing-place on board the Lightning steam-yacht, and proceeded to Spit head and on board the St. Vincent, where the Rear- Admiral and Captain Dacres received them. The Lightning then returned in time to receive Rear-Admi ral Deans Dundas, Captain M. F. Berkeley, the Hon. Mr. Cowper, Mr. Ward, the principal Secretary of the Admiralty, and about thirty other persons, their friends, including several ladies, who arrived from London by the express half-past ten train. Rear-Ad miral Prescott, with the barges of the Victory and Illustrious, conveyed the party to the Lightning, and she immediately proceeded to Spithead, and on her arrival there Lord Auckland and Captain Milne joined them. The Admiralty flag was now hoisted in the Lightning, and was saluted by the Victory with nineteen guns. Breakfast had been provided on board tho steamer for all the party, and as soon as it was over the Lightning proceeded to the Prince Regent, 92; the Admiralty and nearly all the party paid that splendid ship a long visit. Early in the morning the ships of the squadron had made preparations for sea. At four o'clock they MP' moored, and afterwards hove short. At eight crossed topgallant and royal-yards. Rear-Admiral Napier, with his secretary, Mr. Ozzard, embarked at nine o'clock, and the boats were all hoisted up and secured, excepting one belonging to the St. Vincent , that was by some circumstance detained on shore until the signal was made and enforced with two guns. At eleven the signal was made for steamers to g et u p s t eam, when the Blenheim, Amphion, and Sharpshooter lighted their fires. At 1.30 the St. Vincent made the signal to weigh and make sail, and cast to starboard; the St. Vincent took the lead, and had her sails set first; she was soon fol lowed by the Bellerophon, Tweed, and the whole squad ron, excepting the Prince Regent, who did not tollow this manoeuvre on account of the Admiralty being then on board of her; but they soon after left, when she also made sail and prepared to weigh. The wind was very favourable for the ships to get away; it blew a moderate breeze from the eastward, but like all easterly breezes was fitful, sometimes blowing a good breeze and sometimes a light wind. The ships set single-reefed, topsails, gallantsails, jib and spanker and fore and main -course, when required. The Amphion, the Prince Regent, Pilot, H e l ena, T weed, being the easternmost ships o the squadron, got their anchors first, but all the ships, except the Bellerophon, en account of the tide making to the eastward, cast to port instead of to starboard, and were in censequence obliged to wear round to port tack. As soon as sail was made the Bolrd of Admiralty and their friends proceeded on board the St. Vincent, in which vessel they remained during the day; but the Admiralty flag was struck in the Lightning, an,i riot hoisted on board her. consequently Sir Charles Napier was Commander-in-Chief. Amphion was the first outside the Nab. She ap• poured to distance all the other vessels of the squadron, and went round the light• vessel without having to make a tack. She was followed by the Pilot, Twe.d, Helena, and Sharpshooter; but the latter vessel had to tack, and by some accident the Sharpshooter and the Pilut (we believe) got foul of each other, when- the Sharpshooter lost her jib-boom, and received some damage; hat she proceeded. The Prince Regent followed the Amphion and small craft, and worked out under topsails, topgallantsails, jib, and spanker, under which sail she stayed remarkaoly well. She alao_got outside the Nab in a short time. The Sr. Vincent, the Bellerophon, the Blenheim., and the Frolic, worked out together in almost close order of sailing—the St. Vincent and Blenheim setting their royals and flying jibs, the Bellerophon sparing them these sails, and also her mainsail. The wind rat this time drawing in from the south-east, these ships i ad to make revere' tacks. They were all perfectly wel 1 han dled. These evolutions, with the occasional ned issary making and shortening of sails to keep the ships i n sta tion, with the numberless signals (tor there was nt lack of bunting) made by the flab -ship, and which were promptly answered and ob e y e d by the several vess els of the squadron, altogether rendered the spectacle h ighly interesting; besides which, a myriad of vessels, of a 11 de ' scriptions of rig, held their course with the aqua dron. The Rolla, 10, tender to the Victory, indeed might well be considered as one of the squadron, as she got t order weigh with, and performed all the evolutions wit h the larger ships. The royal yacht, the Fairy, was also :s7team ing amongst them (Capt.Criipin taking the opportu v ity of • the sailing of the fleet to test the engines and verse 4 after repair). The Commander-in-Chief, in his yach I, the Fanny,.with a party on board, including the Rie r. Ogle and family, Rear-Admiral Prescott and fami IY, ,in his yacht tha Portsmouth, with a very large party ; , in cluding Admirtil Sir John Ommanney and fl lily, Ladies Locke and Stirling, and the Very Rea the L ean of Exeter, &c., a whole fleet of vessels belonging to the Royal Yacht squadron, amongst whichvesselswere sit any beautifulschooners and cutters, the Gem, the Anacca da, Camilla, Maud; Gipsy (peen, Marriage ' Osprey, Me Meat lin &e.; all these vessels accompanied the fleet into the 4: ing, and did not return until sunset. When the squadron got outside the Nab the or der for sailing was formed, the Amphion leading, t fol lowed by the Prince Regent, the St. Vincent, : the Bellerophon, and Blenheim. The Blenheim seen ‘ed .the worst sailer .; she could not hold way with I he other ships with all sail set, nor did the St. v in cent appear to move much faster. The Amphion, B el lerophon, and Prince Regent appeared to sail well, a nd had to take in royals, mainsail, and occcasionally p gullantwasts, to keep their proper position in line. 'r he fleet continued to. manamvre iu the offing about tlir ee miles outside the Nab until late in the evening, the B le n beim occasionally furling all her sails and using h er stream. At:a little before sunset, about half-past suv en o'clock, the squaArcn, hone to, and Lizficl Auckland at id his colleagues having partaken of an early dinner with the gallant admiral, Sir Charles Napier, now bid Win. adieu, and, having returned to the Lightning, where di e Admiralty flag was again hoisted, the St. Vincent fire 1 a parting salute of 19 guns, and made all sail dove a Channel with a light breeze from the E.S.E. Tb e Lightning returned into Portsmouth Harbour, wile a Admiral Dundee and Captain Milne landed at Ports - mouth. Lord Auckland and the rest of the Admiralty party proceeded at nine o'clock by the special train which had been previously ordered, for London. The Sharpshooter returned with the Rolla to Spithe ad on account of her accident. She came into harbour , on Sunday morning. The Rifleman was not able to get ready to join the squadron, although every attempt to. get her ready was made. It is supposed that both tap Rifleman and sharpshooter will proceed after t 134 squadron on Tuesday, and in about a week the Dragcti will also follow.

Some time ago'the farmer of the above ball had a very unruly bull, which, fo: the sake of security, he kept in a well-walled coppico or inclosnre, at an angle of which stands the neat white cottage aforesaid, wherein resides the elcrk of Ranipside chapel. One morning just after the pious clerk had left his domicile for his usual occupation in the fields, the aforesaid bull,"on seeing some of his Sisterhood pass on to the other side of the fence, took it into his head to join their com pany, but found he had no chance of exit except right over the low thatehid cottage, and, at a s i ng l e spring, he bo un d e d u p on th Too e, when, much to his consternation, down went his legs through the thatch, directly over a bed, where four or five little urchins were wrapt in repose, but who ,were instantly roused from their slumbers by this untoward intruder. Imagination can hardly depict to itself the shrieks and yells of the juvenile tribe below with the bull's massive body suspended on the rafters, and his legs waltzing over the bed like a most energetic dancing master! In an instant the alarm spread like wildfire, when all the wom en o f t h e v ill age, o l d and young, rushed to the scene of disaster, armed with mops, broom sticks, and every available weapon, in order to repel the invader, but without effect, when fortunately for the inmates, the bull, finding further progress impossible, tried a retrograde manoeuvre, and threw a back somer set in first-rate style, but not without coming down upon and demolishing, at one fell swoop, a pig -sty belonging to ono of the officers of her Majesty's Customs, as much to the consternation of its occupant and its owner as the former part of the tragedy was to the whole village,—.
