fourtb 'ambition RAILWAY RECEIPTS. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under:- 1852. Great Western £18,187 North-Western South-Western 12,740 Arighton Midland South-Eastern 19,236 North Stafford 5,286 Caledonian Great Northern Lancashire and Yorkshire York and North Midland Newcastle and Berwick 1851. £26.445 59,338 16,446 15,423 24,346 ]9,785 5,276 9,096 14,260 17,389 10,487 15,816 FRANCE. The Government has received the following te. legraphio dispatch, dated— _ TOULON, SEPT. 28, 111 P.m. "His Highness leaves Toulon to-morrow morning to proceed to Aix. The Prince has assisted at a ball of fered to him by the city. It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm with which ho was received at his ar rival and at his departure. The rooms resounded con stantly with cries of Vive l'Empercuri' " The French Government has received a dispatch from Brussels, announcing that the Belgian Ministry had resigned, and that the Chambers were pro rogued until the 25th of October. This event is regarded as an immense victory by the French Mi nisters. An article of the Pays will find a responsive feeling in every well-disposed mind, as it is impossible not to utterly reprobate the violent language used against the Head of the French nation in some of the foreign journals. The Pays expresses itself on the subject as follows : " Assuredly the odious crime cannot be ascribed to any of the old parties who divided France. All these parties, itinaust be said to their honour, have been horrified at it. Some wretched remnants of the secret societies in which a social re-organization prepared by pillage and murder, yielding, perhaps, to the interested suggestions.of the men who feel despair at seeing the happiness of France—such, no doubt, will be the only elements which the hand of justice will find in the investigation of the baffisd plot. Who, however, dare affirm that certain pamphlets—some of them com posed abroad by writers calling themselves Frenchmen— that certain journals published in neighbouring countries, have been without influence on the minds of the conspi rators of Marseilles? Are the authors of a manifesto published a few days ago in a Belgian journal, and which contained these sanguinary words, men, do not discuss, do not vote against, crime — they atrke it !' tree trom all parti c ip a ti on in the crim e ? The journal which decorat es it se lf w i t h the title of La Nation Beige excieds all the others in violence. After having shamefully outraged the French people, the clergy, the magistracy, and the army, it does not shrink from a direct provocation to assassination. Here are some textual quotations from that journal:—' At Bourges and Nevers, the peasants who were brought i n were so drunk that they did not know what they cried. It is alleged that in their drunkenness they even forgot what they were told, and mos t of them yelled " Vivent lea Rouges !" instead of Vive I , Emperear ; " All honest people were disgusted at the ignoble spectacle.' On the 15 th S e ptember , the Nati on B e i ge published, besides, the following lines, which one would think traced with the point of the knife of Ravaillac:— ' We are all mutually responsible fur humanity; and on that account we cordially thank all men of generous heart who devote themselves to unmasking and striking despots wherever they may appear. Despots are the common enemy whom we are proud to combat by their a id e; and we are well convinced that they will not dis arm until the whole world shall be purged from the race of oppressors. Happy shall we be if a single voice re sponds to this appeal.' On the 24th September, the same journal publishes a long piece of verse, which con cluded with these lines:— En regardant passer Cesar et sa fortune, La France dans sea mains sent frenair le poignard!' No one is ignorant of the grave difficulties which arise for Governments from the liberty of the press; but at no period has liberty, even the most extreme, been con founded with the excesses, the orgies of license. Th ere are, in such a matter, bounds which the most vulgar morality, the most elementary notions of international law do not permit to be disregarded. Is it enough for a man to be the elect of a great people for him to be placed out of the pale of humanity? Is it for having saved Europe from menacing anarchy that he should be exposed to the most odious, the most revolting provo ostions?" ITALY. The Official Journal of the Two Sicilies publishes a Ministerial decree, directing that a grand exhibition of the produce of the manufactures of the kingdom shall take place, find be opened, on the 30th of May, 1853, in the edifice of Monteoliveto, at Naples. It is to last a week, unless further prolonged by Royal decree. Besides manufactured articles, raw materials produced in the country, and all the implements used in mining, agriculture, and other pursuits of the kind will be admitted. A letter from Rome of the 13th, in the Augsburg Gazette, states that the POPE his pardoned one BUSCEIETTA, a friend of the well-known CICERIIAC - ClllO, who took such an active part as a popular leader in the events of 1848 40 at Rome. This BIPCFIETTA had been coLdemn4d to fifteen years' hard labour for the part he took in the disturbances of that time; but has obtained his pardon through the iostruraentali!T of his c0:1 1 ,...,8y); who has declared him to be quite changed, and converted to the cause of order. We have already mentioned that his Holiness the POPS had taken a pleesure trip to sea from Porto d'Anzio. We find the following ridiculous motive attributed to this little voyage in the Official Savoy Gazette of the 27th, and we give it, rather for the entertainment of our readere, than as in the least worthy of credit : ‘. Aecordieg to a letter from Genoa, Pius IX. had actually attempted to make his escape from Porto d'Auzo, and was only prevented from effecting his de sign by the impossibility of getting out of the reach of Captain 011ivier's steamer, which accompanied him under the pretext of showing him respect. I will quote the facts, leaving it to your readers to make the proper deductions, and shall afterwards tell you what induces me to give it; some credence. On the 14,h General Cotte, the ':elarquis de Ture;ot, and Al. de Reyneval had waited upon the Pope Cast: l Gandolfo. According' to the letter in * question, General Cotte, aided by the, two diplomati s t s , h a d then fulfilled a deli cate mission, that of persuading the Holy Father to proceed to Paris in order to crown Prince Lou's Napoleon. The timid councillors of the Pope at once advised him to take to flight, as he had done in the winter of 1843-49. They showed him, looming in the future, en konourable detention at Fontainebleau, and the Roman States turned into an apanage for the future King of Rome, the issue of the marriage of Na poleon III.; in short, the repetiti on of what had hap pened under th e Empire. With his usual weakness, Pius IX. on the followire; day directed his steps to Porto d'Anzio, where-a Pontifie , l steamer was i n rea di ness to convey him to Naples. This resolution had only been taken in consequence of the difficulty of geeing, to Bologna, u n d er t h e pr o tection of Austria; for Castel Gandolfo is too far from Bologna; so that it was much easier to go to Naples. But at Porto d'Anzio it ap peared th a t anot h er steamer , w hi c h plies on the Tiber f or the service of the French division, and is commanded by Copt, 011ivier, had accompanied the Pontifical one. 13 0 ,„ came this ste amer , w hi c h oug h t t o h ave s tayed at Fiumi cino, its usual station, to be at Porto d'Aczio? It is sup posed that Count Hey uevel had some miegivings as to the Holy Father'; villeygiatura at Castel Gandolfh, and taken precautions i n consevence. The Pope and his suite embarked under pretence of taking a Deere trip, but the Preach steamer insisted upon accompanying the Holy Father, as an escort of honour. Hopes were entertained that she might be outstripped, so as to reach Gaeta cr Naplei in safety, but Captain 011ivier stack close to the Pontifical steamer, so that the idea of flight was given up. The only thing which makes me give some credence to this tale is the speech of the Prince Presi• dent at Lyons on the erection of the statue of the Em peror. On this solemn occasion Prince Louis Napoleon did not remain within the limits of mere official lan guage; his harangue is a masterpiece—it was evidently Fatditat A, and deeply too; there is nothing superfluous in it—everything has its signification. Now, in this noble speech the Prince assimilate& his elevation as much as p oss ibl e to that of his uncle. lie alludes to re ligious consecration by the chief of Christianity. It may, therefore, very well be, that General Cotte had re ceived such a mission, and that the counsellors of the Pope had advised him to take to flight." • CIRCASSIA. The St. Petersburgh Journal of the 18th contains the following : " The last accounts received from the Caucasus in form us that the winter campaign of the Russians con siderably diminished the influence of Shamyl in the Great Tschetschna, and forced him to place his par tisans in the village of Gurdali, at the foot of the Kstschkalikowski, and among the Argcunski who , tp. are the most bitt er cne mies of Russia, and constantly make incsions on its territory. Lie utenat-General Prince Bo r i a ti na ki i n consequence undertook an ex- 1 pedition against different points of the T6chetschna. For this purpose Colonel Prince WOrOIIZ iw, on th e 23d, occupied, with three battalions, four detach ments of Cossacks, and six pieces of artillery, the defiles of Misianski. At six o'clock in the morning Prince Boriatinaki arrived with a strong body of Cossacks; h e marched with all his columns as far as the defile s of • alinski, wh ere h e established a camp near Schawdon. e eneral Molden joined the principal column with five bat talions and six pieces of artillery. On the same day Gens. Molden, Bartzgowert, and Schandon took the direction of Bassa and Grementschouk; and Colonel Baklanski with four battalions, a body of Cossacks, and seven pieces of artillery occupied the mountain of K. 4schkalikowski, in order to destroy the villag e of Gurdali. The Cossacks, under Colonel Suchodolski, surrounded the place, while Baron Nickolay attacked and eventually entered it. After a sanguinary combat the Circassian a were all put to the sword, with the exception of 52, who gave up their arms. The cattle were all removed and the village set fire to. On the 24th Prince Boriatinaki alvanceci along the Black Mountains, but returned to Frosnau on the fol lowing day. The Circassian* have lost a great quan tity of hay and corn, and have had a number of men killed and 195 taken prisoners. The Russians have bail 2 officers and 45 soldiers killed, and 10 officers and 254 soldiers wounded. Prince Woronzow advanced towards the defiles of Argousk with a strong force o infantry and cavalry, and four pieces of artillery. In the night of the 26th he surprised and burnt three villages. The Circassians had 32 men killed and several wounded; the Russians 1 officer and 9 soldiers killed, and 6 officers and 51 soldiers wounded. SOMERSETSHIRE ARCHEOLOGICAL and NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. We yesterday gave a notice of the opening of the fourth session of the above society at Bath, and of the proceedings up to the close of the afternoon meeting. In the evening an ordinary was held at the York House Hotel, when about seventy ladies and gentle men sat down to a profuse repast, under the presidency of W. H. G. Langton, Esq., M.P., of Newton Park. Amongst the gentlemen present were W. Miles, Esq., M.P.; W. Pinney, Esq., M.P.; W. H. Langton, Esq., M.P. ; Hon. P. P. Bouverie; T. T. Knyfton, Esq. ; W. Long, Esq., Mayor of B.ith ; F. H. Dick enson, Esq. ; J. H. Markland, Esq., D.C.L., F.R.S. ; J. H. Smith Pigott, Esq.; J. Britton, Esq., F.S.A. ; W. R. Sheppard, Esq , of Frome; Dr. Falconer; Revs. F. Warre, C. Paul, H. M. Scarth, W. Re Crotch, &c. &c. Upon the removal of the cloth, the usual loyal toasts were drank, followed by the " Health of the Bishop and Clergy of the diocese." The Rev. F. WARRE, in responding, referred to the opportunities the clergy have for investigating archaeological subjects, and said that he hoped by their aid such materials would ere long be coll ec t e d and arranged as would enable the society to bring out a complete county history. The Rev. H. M. Scairra also suggested that of all arches°. clolgerigcaylmmeanusehrosucldomkeinepg underprivate n th o e te ir s attention—that each clergyman should collect all the historical docu ments of his parish , .and the traditions in the pos session lt was a holy rule inthe o ea rl y f th e c oldest uureh i t n a habin tat. e the ancient cus t oms , Inhabitants. and it waswithfragmrietfhlaeme .saw ire man many interesting relics said not only preserve passing away your ancient customs, but the ancient historical do cuments, and the reli cs of f ormer t i mes. He rejoiced to see in France a spirit reviving, which regarded ar chwologiealmatters in a proper l i ght, and from a s i m ilar spirit in Normandy many precious monuments had been preserved. In France, during the last 40 or 50 years, nearly all the early church edifices had been destroyed, and therefore the spirit now mani fested was the more encouraging as promising the preservation of the few ancient buildings that remain. No country in the world, however, could produce such parish churches as Great Britain, and therefore all, but especially the clergy, would do well to pre serve them, and let not a stone or a brick be injured. The health of the county Members was responded to by Mr. W. MILES. After which the " Health of the Mayor and Ma gistrates of Bath," the " Health of the Chairman," the " Mayor and Magistrates of Bristol," and several other toasts were drank and responded to, and the company then proceeded to the Assembly Rooms to the evening meeting for the reception of papers. Mr. W. BIKER. read a paper on the Williams Mu seum, recently purchased by the society. The paper gave a resume of the valuable contents of this exten sive and interesting collection, and stated that since it , came into the possession of the society many va luable collections of archaaological and natural his tory specimens have been deposited with the society. Amongst the collection comprising the Williams Museum are thousands of bones of animals from the caverns on the Mendip Hills. One of the bones ex hibited was larger than that of any mammoth bone in either of the London museums. As showing, also, the valuable character of the museum which has come into the possession of the society, it was stated that the authorities of the British Museum, the So ciety of Practical Geology, the Cambridge Society, and several private gentlemen, have applied to pur chase, and are most anxious to obtain, the duplicate specimens in the hands of this society. An interesting paper on the geology of the neigh bourhood of Ilminster was read by Mr. Moore, whose researches have been most successful in this branch of science,t as he has discovered a large number of new species of animals, fisb, vegetables, &c., amongst his antediluvian remains. A paper on the fungi of Somersetshire by C. E. Broome, Esq., was also read by the Rev. W. R. Crotch, who addressed the meeting in addition upon British fungi in general. Many persons were poi soned, he said, from mistaking some species of mush rooms, whilst many of the best, most nutritious, and desirable species of fungi were passed by as noxious, becau.e people were ignorant of their qualities. He urged, therefore, more general study of this subject, but advised his auditors not to eat fungi unless they were acquainted with the species; reminding them also that some sorts which are safe in France and Italy are destructive to life here. Yesterday (Wednesday) a meeting was again held for the reception of papers, at ten o'clock in the morn ing, when, in the absence of the President, the chair was taken by J. H. M Irkland, Esq., D.C.L., F.R.S. Mr. E. A. FREEMAN read a paper "Oa the perpen dicular style as exhibited in the churches of Somer set," which was illustrated by drawings of the whole of the sacred edifices treated of. A paper was also read by Mr. H. G. Tomtur.s3, being his " Remarks on some Cornish Hill Castles, as compared with the an cient fortress on Westorn Hill." Votes of thanks were then given to the authors of each paper, after which the meeting was adjourned. A party was then formed for an excursion to Hinton Abbey, Farleigh Chapel (where the Rev. Mr. JACK soN read a paper), and the church and the George Inn at Norton St. Philips. At Farleigh, an excellent collation was kindly provided for the visitors by the Rev. Mr. Clark ; and the excursion altogether was a very interesting one, and the weather favourable. RASCALITY OF THE RUSSIAN POLICE. A silver tablespoon was stolen out of my kitchen. I had my suspicions, stated the case to the police, and on the very same day the thief was discovered. It was a journeyman baker, who . brought us bread, who had taken the spoon and sold it to a stall-k ee p er on the Schukingdwor. The thief was dul' punished, the receiver's shop was closed, and my spoon was taken to the police-station. It was worth a ducat at most ; but it was a christening gift to my child, and on that account I valued it, and spared no pains to recover it. Pains it certainly cost me. I was referred from one person to another, and at last the commissary, in whose custody the spoon was, asked me frankly why I was so persevering about such a trifle. I had spent more money in coaches, he said, than the thing was worth, and I was likely to spend twice as much more before recovering it, for there were still many obstacles to its being given up. " To-day," replied I, "all those obstacles will be surmounted, and, to-morrow, I shall have the spoon." " The devil you will," quoth the guardian of public order and security. " May I beg to know how you propose to manage that ?" " Very easily," I replied; "and to show you how certain I am of what I advance, I now make you a present of the spoon, and am .v , eaen nevertheless persuaded that to-morrow you y our - i self w ill ca ll an d return i t to me. " The c vrice laughed till be was fain to h o ld hi s s id es . , Capital 1" he cried ; " before your complaint comes round to me, a f o rt n i g ht or more wi ll e l apse. " " Yes," I replied, also laughing, " were I such a fool as to make a complaint, which, moreover, I have now neright to do, having made you a present of the spoon. But it so happens that I dine to-day with Perowsky ; and over the dessert I will propose to the Minister this curious riddle, How, in St. Petersburgh, can one dispose pf one's property, when it lies in the hands of th e po li ce ?' T he solution him. Wh a t i s pre t ty cf the riddle, that one must m a k e a present of the property, will, perhaps, astoni s h certain, however, is, that, if y ou w i ll breakfast with me to morrow, you shall eat your soup with the spoon in question. Whether you br ea kf ast with me in uniform or out of uniform depend s upon the im pression which the solution of my r iddle may make upon Perowsky." Again the man in office laughed ; but this time the laughter was somewhat forced ; and his arms, which he had akimbo, fell by his s id es. " Well, well !" he said, with constra ined joviality, " the joke has lasted long enough. 11%r , e is your spoon. When shall I breakfast with you ? " When you bring me back my silver spoon. Until then, your most obedient servant." And I left him. I did not dine with Perowsky. I never saw that Minister in my life; but his name is a talisman of might against faithless officials, as it also is the terror of thieves and sharpers. By adapting it to a harmless stratagem, I recovered my property. Such is the Russian police.—Jerrmann' s Pictures from St. Petersburgh. EXTENSION OF ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH TO FORFAR. —For some days past a rumour has been current here that the British Telegraph Company have made arrangements with the Caledonian, Scottish Central, and Scottish Midland Railways, for continuing the telegraph w i res t o t h e ra il way terminus here. We are glad to understand that the rumour is correct, and that arrangements are in progress for a farther extension to Aberdeen and the principal stations on the Aberdeen Rail way.—Alontrosc Review. TH E HIGHGATE BURGLAR CONFLICT.—The house breaker Johnson, whose flight and subsequent c apt ure b y the policeman at Highgate on Saturday night last we have already fully detailed, has been remanded pro forma by a magistrate, and removed to the House of Detention Clerken well, until his antecedents are ascertained. The constable who so courageously effected his capture is named Henry Donkin, 233 S. The neighbourhood of Highgate is as proud of the affair as if he had performed a more military, though not more serviceable or courageous achievement.

CULLEN.—lmagine a railway hence to the sun. How many hours is the sun from us? Why, if we were to send a baby in a railway train, going incessantly one hundred miles an hour without making any stoppages, the baby would grow to be a bay—the boy be a m an — t h e man would grow old and die —without seeing to be the sun, f or it is distant more than a hun dwroediltdyh• grow o ea u r t s from us. But what is this compared with Neptune's distance? Had Adam and Eve started by a railway to go from Neptune to the Sun, at the rate of fifty miles an hour, they would not have got there yet, for Neptune is more than SIX thousand years from the centre of our system.

PRICES OF SHARES IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM . PANIES' STOCK. From the Official List. THE PAUPERS FROiTI ST. MARTIN'S— DISTURBANCES on BOARD the CALCUTTA. PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 29.—The Calcutta, 700 tons, belonging to Messrs. Fox, Sons, and Co., of Ply mouth, which left London last week, with a number of paupers from the parish of St. Martin for Australia, arrived in the Sound on Friday last; and on Monday one of the paupers, named !Adam Young, made a complaint to the Plymouth bench of magistrates against the master of the ship. Mr. Phillips (the magistrate's clerk) asked Young if he were the same man who was given into custody by the captain on Saturday ? Young said he was the same man; he was given into custody for something be knew nothing of. He merely went to the captain and asked his permission to go ashore, on which he said that as soon as he got on shore he would have him apprehended by the police. He then inquired of the captain his reasons for saying so; the reply to which was, " that if he stood there aggravating him he should get a brace of pistols and settle him at once." Mr. Phillips asked whether there was any person belonging to the ship present? Mr. Eleslop rose and said, the applicants and a number of other paupers were in this ship on their way to Australia. He wg - 4 an officer employed by the board of guardians of St. Martin's, who had sent out these paupers, and his duty ended when the ship sailed for her destination. He knew nothing of the disagreements which had take❑ place between the captain and the paupers, but he believed there were warrants issued for the apprehension of the applicant's brother, who was present, and another brother, who was on board. Mr. Phillips desired that one of the firm of Fox, Sons, and Co. should be sent for, these gentlemen being the owners of the vessel. The case was ordered to stand adjourned for a few minutes until the arrival of the agents ; but before a quarter of an hour had elapsed, Mr. Allen, the master, came in with two constables from Saltash, and they took Adam Young into custody. The Mayor then requested the captain to stand forward, and he, i❑ answer to his Worship, said that Adam Young had been guilty of gross mutinous con duct on board the ship, and that his two brothers, Charles and Henry, had been guilty of mutinous con duct in a secondary degree. The disturbances they had created amongst the passengers was of a most disgraceful description, and he was really afraid of his life. Henry Young said the Captain inquired on Satur• day, " Where are the Youngs ?" and when he came up it him, he asked him permission to go ashore. The captain replied, that as soon as he got on shore he should give him into custody. The Captain said his charge against the men was mutiny, by threatening to throw him overboard and set the ship on fire. Mr. Phillips said the bench could have dealt with the whole of the charges, but inasmuch as two of the cases were to be heard at Saltash, he thought they had better be all heard there. The Captain said that would be the best course to pursue. He thought it right, however, to tell their Worships that when he called these men aft, they said " they would b e if they would allow of their people (the paupers) to go aft to hear any - Mu tiny Act read." Henry Young said the whole of the disturbance had arisen in consequence of one of the ship's com pany breaking into the cargo, m a ki ng one o f th e single women drunk, &c. He (the captain), on hear ing it, brought up a brace of pistols before the young woman, and threatened to blow out the brains of the first person who interfered with him. The Mayor recommended the parties to proceed to Saltash, and have the case decided, on which they left the court. SALTASH PETTY SESSIONS—TUESDAY. (Before Mr. W. RUNDLE.) Charles, Adam, and Henry Young, the three emi grants removed from Plymouth on a charge of mutiny , on board the ship Calcutta, were brought up on war rants issued for their apprehension, to show cause why they should not be bound in recognizances to keep the peace towards Mr. Allen, the master. Mr. Edmonds appeared for the captain. It appeared that on the passage down the defendants had refused to wash decks, stating that they had not come on board to work their passages out to Australia. Subsequently, when they were in a berth by them- selves, one of them said that he would throw the cap tain overboard and then set fire to the ship. Adam Young joined in the conversation, but Charles raid nothing; he was, however, regarded as an aider and abettor. These things were made known to the cap tain, who on his arrivel here took the necessary steps to bring the parties to justice. The private passengers also complained of their insolent conduct to them. In defence, the defendants called some of the pas sengers who were in the hall, and when they were examined as to the defendants' characters on board, some of them attributed the origin of the disturbance to Adam, others to Henry, and some to Charles. The Chaplain of the ship said they were all per sonally indebted to the captain for the kindness he had displayed to them on the passage down Channel, and he expressed his regret that anything so unplea sant should have taken place. The BENCH said it was necessary that some security should be given the captain for the good behaviour of the defendants on their passage; and the judgment was that they should each be bound in their own re cognizances of 201., and find two responsiblele sure ties in 301. each for that purpose. The defendants, of course, were unable to get these, and they were ordered to be imprisoned for seven days. Upon this decision being pronounced "the three Mrs. Youngs " wept and screamed bitterly. Charles Young, toe, joined in the geceral harmony, and begged the captain's forgiveness for his misconduct. After some hesitation and some consultation, the captain said that inasmuch as Charles had not ren dered hinv,elf personally obnoxious to him he should look over the matter. This favoured defendant thanked him for the kindness be bad shown him, and then promised that he would not be guilty of any further misconduct on the passage. The captain stated that when the men were put on board the ship the guard' - ns of the p - rich to which they belonged said they were all brought up in the fear of God ; but he assured the Bench that when they got to sea they made use of the most vulger and abominable language. He also added that one of the guardians came down from London, whose expenses were no doubt paid by the parish, and that gentleman, directly be beard of their misconduct, went back again, and did not offer any security for them. The two defendants, committed to Bodmin gaol, were then removed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHWARK. John Andrews, a young man recently in the em ploy of Mr. John Winkles, a tradesman, of High street, Southwark, was placed at the bar before Mr. a'Beckett, charged with stealing 101. 103., the pro perty of his employer, and absconding with the money. night, b e t ween e l even an d t we l ve a o r 'o e ? o kept,n theck, b aoprecedingpoliceman,s observed red the t in passing throu g h a stable-y ar d in the vicinity of this court, w h ere empty omn ib uses e prisoner without coat, waist coat, or hat, asleep in one of the vehicles. On being aroused, an d asked what h e was d o i ng there, h e gave a very reasonable answer to the question, saying that he was destitute, having parted w i t h a ll his clothes thea lodging sheltergia of the omnibus. He g except his shirt and trousers, and th a t, b e i ng w ith out m that wet night, he had went availed n te on himselft o procure tosay h tefa t there wa s no use in disguising the fact any longer—that he had b een i n th e emp l oy of the complainant, bad robbed hi m o f ten gu i neas, and soon s quan d ere d away h b i a s u s c e h r e v e i y ce : and h e a d ded that he now into th e b ands of justice, rather than su ff er the tor a the bsc m on o d n e e d y f i r n om de ai anyn with the vo luntary confession of the prisoner, to o k hi m to the a w n i d s shed w t o e r r e t s h i g e a ohffi emnsoeel,f longer.

There was a purse containing V. 15s. on the dressing -room table, and in her husband's trousers pocket, whi c h were on a chair by the bedside, there were seven sovereigns and fifteen shillings. The following morn ing she and her husband were awoke by their son coming into the room for some change, and when desired to take what he required out of the purse on the table, it was then discovered that it was gone, es well as the bag containing the sovereigns and silver from her husband's trousers pocket. Although the prisoner retired to bed at the same hour the family did on the night in question, yet when he was sought after on the discovery of the robbery it was found that he had absconded, leaving the street-door ajar, so as not to disturb any of the inmates, and these circum stances gave rise to the suspicion that he must have been the thief; but he had managed to keep out of the way ever since July, and nothing was heard of him until he was found by the policeman asleep in the omnibus on the preceding night, as above described. The prisoner, who said nothing in answer to the charge, was committed, but will be brought up again in order to have the depositions completed. LAMBETH. R. Perry, who has been in custody since Saturday week on a charge of having caused the death of his wife Jane, by violence, was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott for final examination. The coroner's jury who had investigated the case ' returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased had died from accidental concussion of the brain from a fall while in a state of intoxication ; but Mr. Elliott, feeling that the evidence established a clear case of manslaughter against the accused, examined the wit nesses with considerable minuteness. The first witness called was George Mitchell, a tailor, residing at 22, Broad-street, Lambeth, who in his evidence on a former day said that between the hours of twelve and one o'clock on the night of Sa turday the 18th instant, he heard the prisoner and the deceased have some words in their room, which was just over that which witness and his wifa occu pied, and immediately after heard a heavy fall on the floor. A perfect silence continued for about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour, and then he heard the prisoner put on his shoes and come down stairs. On reaching the first landing, and just opposite his (witness's) room door, he heard the prisoner say, " Who is here," or " who the devil's here," and then return up stairs. He came back to the landing with a light, and witness then heard him say, " Oh, its you is it; drunk as usual." The priso ?,r then knocked at the door, and asked himy he was awake, and on answering him in the affirmative, he said, "My old woman doesn't seem to have any strength in her limbs." Witness then got up and assisted the deceased up stairs and placed her on the bed, when they found she was 'lead. Mr. ELLIOTT—What did the fall on the floor ap pear to you like ? Witness—Like a person falling on the floor, and I had no doubt that the deceased it was that fell. Mr. ELLIOTT—Had the deceased fallen down stairs to the landing where she was found, do you think you must have heard her ? Witness—Certainly I should your Worship. Mr. ELLIOTT—Had you heard any person come down stairs from the time of the fall until you were called by the prisoner but the prisoner himself ? Witness—l did not, Sir. Mr. ELLIOTT—Had any other person come down, do you think you must have beard them ? Witness —Certainly. Margaret Mitchell, the wife of the last witness said that on the night in question, while in bed with her husband, she heard the deceased, who was intoxi cated at the time, and the prisoner abuse each other, and making use of strong and vile language to one another. She particularly heard the deceased call the prisoner a " b—y thief" several times, and from their voices the witness judged that the prisoner was in bed at the time, and the deceased sitting at the fire. She next heard a noise as if some one was going across the room, and presently somethi ng f e ll heavily on the floor. She next heard deceased in a faint voice say, " Oh, Dick, I shan't be your nurse." A dead silence followed, and a feeling passed over her mind at the time that something serious had hap pened, and she expressed a hope to her husband that the prisoner had not done the deceased any mischief. The remaining part of the witness's testimony was:a mere corroboration of her husband's evidence. Sarah Deacon said she occupied a room on the ground-floor of the 'douse 22, Broad-street, and on the night in question heard a heavy fall, and had no doubt it was in the prisoner's room. Heard no thing more until she was called by Mrs. Mitchell, and then saw the deceased in her own room quite dead. Sarah Elizabeth Phillips said that on Sunday, the 19th inst., she was called in, and examined the body of the deceased. She found marks of bruises all down the back and over the right shoulder, and continued to the right ear. There were bruises also on the left shin and right instep. Mr. Thompson, the surgeon, in his examination, said that on opining the head of the deceased he found a considerable extravasation of blood beneath the in teguments corresponding with the external bruises, and he had no doubt the deceased died from concus sion of the brain produced by a blow or fall. The deceased had all the appearance of a habitual drunkard, and her system was altogether unhealthy. She was rather thin and tall, and from the external bruises on her head he wag of opinion that consider able violence had been used to her- The appearances, however, would have been produced by a fall as well as a blow. Sergeant Otley said that, on his way to the sta tion-house, the prisoner said that it was a hard thing to work all the week and the wife to spend the money. The prisoner, after receiving the usual caution, in reply to the charge, said that he found the deceased on the landing when going down stairs, and that it appeared to him that she had been sitting on the bottom stair and pitched forward. Oa going down stairs he kicked against her, and did not know what it was; but on getting a light he found it to be his wife. He tried to lift her up, but found that she had lost the use of her limbs, and then called to Mitchell for assistance. Mr. ELLIOTT told him he should send him before a jury to take his trial on a charge of manslaughter, and bound over the witnesses in the usual way to prosecute. perienced in that quarter to the progress of a sound and healthy improvement in the trade.—Aris's Bir mingham Gazeto. COURT OF ALDERMEN. Yesterday a Court was held, accorling to annual custom, for the purpose of participating with the Livery assembled in common-hall in the election of a Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. Upon the paper of business stood the following no tice of motion by Sir Peter Laurie : " To consider what steps are requisite to be taken by this Court in consequence of the lamented decease of the late Duke of Wellington." That question was, of course, allowed to take pre cedence of all others. Sir PETER LAURIE rose, be said, for the purpose of moving,— " That a committee of the whole Court be appointed to co-operate with that appointed at the last Court of Common Council, to consider and report upon the best means of testifying the respect of the Corporation of the city of London fur the memory of Field-Marshal the Duke of Wellington." Even if he considered himself qualified to delineate the character end stupendous career of the Duke of Wellington (and the publications of the day supplied inexhaustible materials for executing the task), he would not attempt to perform such a task, for the attempt would argua a doubt of that anxiety which he knew his brethren felt to record by some appro priate testimonial their sense of the loss the country had sustained. He would, however, venture to allude to some characteristics which might not unfitly be re ferred to by a bench of magistrates.—(Hear.) The Duke's great authority in the councils of the nation, his vast moral influence with foreign Cabinets, the veneration in which he was held by his countrymen, were owing not more to his success as a warrior and his talents as a statesman than to the uni versal belief in his inviolate faith, his unhesitating truthfulness, and his single-minded devotion to his country.—(Loud cheers.) Unlike the diplomatist Talleyrand, who laid and acted upon the belief that language was given to man to conceal his thoughts—an expression, by the by, borrowed from Oliver Goldsmith—truth and sincerity seemed to be instincts of his nature, and, while his guiding star was duty, that star led him only through the path of honour. These were great principles which all of us, in our various spheres, might struggle to imitate. He would add but one more observation, and that would be in noticing the Duke of Wellington's moderation in success, when, in the eloquent words of Mr. Ab bott, the Speaker of the House of Commons, " that ascendancy of character which, uniting the energies of jealous and rival nations, enabled him to wield at will the fate and fortunes of mighty empires."— (Cheers.) Never was he dazzled with success, nor, in days of gloom and doubt, were his calmness and enduring fortitude for a moment shaken. Through out that unexampled career no foreign historian had ever assailed the reputation of the Duke of Welling ton, while numberless eloquent tributes to his justice, his moderation, and his disinterestedness, flowed from their pens.—(Hear, hear.) With these few ob servations he would leave his motion in the hands of the Court, fully satisfied that the corporation would act worthily of themselves upon the occasion. Nothing that they could erect was needed to perpetuate the fame of Wellington, for his name alone was an im perishable monument; but he knew the corporation were anxious to do honour to themselves by honouring the memory of the greatest subject of the realm and the brightest name upon their freemen's roll.— (Cheers.) Sir Peter Laurie concluded by expressing his opinion that Nelson's funeral would be the prece dent, so far as the citizens of London were to be con cerned, for the last ceremony in honour of the illus trious warrior whom the nation lamented ; and hoping that both courts would cordially join in producing a , testimonial adapted to the high reputation of its object, of whom it might truly be said, " He was a man, take him for all in all, We shall not look upon his like again." Alderman FAREEROTHEE, in seconding the motion, said he perfectly acquiesced in the observations made by Sir P. Laurie in honour of the illustrious man who had just been taken away from a world in every part of which his great deeds and glorious character were sure to be commemorated.—(Cheers.) Sir P. Laurie had wisely abstained from enlarging upon the subject of the merits of the Duke of Wellington —a subject which haft already engaged the ablest pens in the empire. He would follow that example, and simply express his extreme sorrow at being obliged to second a motion announcing . so severe a nationa loss.—(Elear, bear.) The motion was then unanimously agreed to. TREATMENT OF EMIGRANTS. Alderman COPELAND said be had to entreat the at tention of the Court to a subject upon which one of his brethren (Sir H. Carden) had recently very much distinguished himself. He meant the fraudulent conduct of persons who acted as ship agents, and ob tained money from poor emigrants.—(Hear.) As the Court of Aldermen were in the habit of licensing brokers, he considered that they should take imme diate steps for the more effectual protection of un fortunate persons who wish to emigrate. Alderman SIDNEY called Alderman Copeland to order. There was, he said, no notice of motion on the paper, and if the Court were to go into the ques tion of frauds committed by brokers at such a time, the business on the paper must necessarily be ne glected. Alderman COPELAND said it was true there was no notice of motion upon the paper, but the subject was really of so pressing a nature that he thought the strict rule of the court might be relaxed. As he saw no disposition to indulge him with permission to sub mit a mction upon such an emergency, he would call upon the Lord Mayor to convene a special court upon the matter to which he referred. He could show that the most gross frauds were at the present mo ment being :perpetrated—that in fact the Court was not justified in the delay of a moment. (Alderman Copeland's motion stands for a future day.) THE NEW PRISON AT HOLLOWAY. Alderman CHALLIS (the Lord Mayor elect) brought up the report of the committee in relation to gaols, to whom it was referred to ascertain and re port on the number and salaries of the officers re- quired for the new prison at Holloway, and what officers now employed by the corporation are suitable to fill such situations, with power to fit up and pre pare the magistrates' room for their use, and the prison for the reception of prisoners. The following are the principal parts of the report : " We gave instructions for preparing and furnishing the magistrates' rooms for their immediate use, and re ferred it to a sub-committee to consider that part of the reference which related to the number and salaries of the officers, and the best course to be recommended for adoption as to tilling up the requisite appointments, and also with reference to fitting up the prison; and we also directed the City architect to procure and lay before us tenders for the fittings for the same, and the City solici tor to consider the several provisions of the Gaol Acts of Parliament, and to report to us what was requisite to be done with respect to opening the prison, and the nature of the prisoners to be con lined therein. "In consequence of our directions, on the 23d of July last tho sus-committee received various tenders, and entered into ageement with sundry parties for the per formance of the works required (under the superinten dence and directions of the City architect) for fitting up the said prison, which has been carried out to our sa tisfaction, and the said prison completed for the recep tion of prisoners. The sub-committee also in part pro ceeded to the consideration of the officers to be appointed thereto, and the salaries to be allowed them, and the better to enable them to form a correct judgment on this point had a return of the various ages, salaries, and allowances of the present subordinate officers of the Giltspur-street Compter, with two lists from Mr. Laurie, the clerk of the works at the new prison, of the number of officers that would be required there, and of the rooms or apartments provided tor their accommodation. In addition to which Mr. Town Clerk laid before them an abstract from the 15th report of the Inspectors of Prisons for the Home District in the year 1850, of the salaries paid to the keepers of prisons in the kingdom generally, commencing with 3001 per annum each and upwards, with their residences and allowances, and also. of the salaries paid to the chaplains and surgeons of these prisons. " The solicitor has subnquently reported to us the particulars requisite to be observed by this honourable Court on the removal of prsoners to the said gaol, and submitted to us the draft of an order to be passed by the Court with respect to the nature and description of pri soners to be confined there which we have caused to be hereunto annexed, and approving thereof recommend the same to this henourable Court for adoption, and that the same be notified to the several aldermen, justices of the said city, and advertised agreeably to the provisions of the Act of Parliament; and we also recommend the Court to direct the removal of the prisoners from the Giltspur street Compter to the said new prison from and after Wednesday the 6th of October next. We have not yet been enabled to go sufficiently into the reference with re-h speet to the requisite officers for Ithe said prison, and therefore recommend this honourable Court in the in terim to direct that all the subordinate officers from the Giltspur-street Compter be removed therefroei ( 3 ) ,.t . ,r eo said new prison to remain there for a periodretlylc"o'n_ months only, to give us nn opportunity of r"taliect and sidering all the points connected with that l t the charge of reporting all particulars for their consid eration a nd dis osn cretion. j a Mr. Wright, " And we are further of opinion t an© bo also, f o r the present Deputy-Governor of Ne w f ao tiOreof, subject to a period of three months, appointed said gaol, as Deputy-Governor similar arrangement, as a bove . ~ P.

He contended that all the present offices of the City pri sons were occupied, and he was anxious that the whole subject of the gaols should be taken into consi -604104 with the view Se Al; iturttgut divainut4on of the expenses. Tho City could easily, in his opinion, apply the superfluity to a more congenial purpose. The LORD M AYOR . ELECT said that if Alderms a Sidney had tiken the trouble to attend the committee, I which in feet he had never been seen to visit more s t p i c i e 'din an once or twice, he would have observed the very earnest dispositi on o f th e mem b ers to adopt a rigia economy. had adhered ln making the t e mporary arrangement' e the report, it would be found tbat the , to the same principle, and opened di. 0 newprsoni n tho u t additional expense. The future series of i a the Court gements would, of course, com e from itself, and there would be full opportunity of discussing their merits, if Alderman Sidney would but check his eloquence until the more convenient I. season should arrive. Alderman FAREEROTIIE R said there was this Lir portant matter for consideratio n in the changes %vote must take place with respect to those officers who a ' present occupied the principal situations in the city prisons. He could bear the strongest testimony, from an acquaintance of many years to the highly honour able and efficient conduct of Mr. Cope, the Governor , of Newgate.—(Hear, hear.) Ile also believed Dir. Wright, the Deputy-Governor, to be in every respect qualified to undertake the duties of the highest situs tions in our prisons; but how to dispose of others who had claims for long services had not been hinted at. The report was in that respect, in bis opiniov, defective. Alderman LAWRENCE confirmed the statement of Alderman Challis, that the committee bad been acting upon the principle of economy, and that they bad pro ceeded in such a manner as not to hamper or confuse the important subject. He admitted that the city prison establishments were expensive, but there were peculiarities in their condition which accounted for the apparent extravagance. Sometimes the gaol of Newgate wee crowded with prisoners, and sometimes it was almost empty. What then were they to do ? Were they to discharge the turnkeys and other offi cers whenever the gaol was cleared, and re-engage them when a glut came ? or were they to take them upon board wages ?—(Hear, hear.) He believed that • the governors of these prisons were paid at an extreme rate; but the case would be different with respect to any future governor. He covgratu lated his brother magistrates upon the completion of a new pr ison, in which employm en t—th e great preventativ e of crime —could be given to the inmates upon an extensive scale. With the understanding that an inquiry will take place into the subject of the merits of all the officers connected with the City pr i s ons the report was ag to, and it was r e f erre d back to the com mittee to be carried into execution. the ed Alderman CO PELAND gave notice of motions for next Court upon the following notices in the paper 01 the Court of Common Council:— " By Mr. J. Anderton. " That it be referred to the General Purposes Col? 1: mittee to examine es to the magisterial and oth er official , duties of the Lord Mayor and uldermen, attached . to and belonging to their offices; and whether it is desirable for the public service that they should. be relieved from any of their official duties by the appoint ment of assistant magistrates or otherwise." the patronage And " By Mr. H.

After Mr. Yardley had examined and attested fifty volunteers for the 21 Regiment of Tower Hamlets militia, several young mer, headed by an older one, sought redress from the magistrate for a violation of good faith on the part of those who had issued large placards calling upon her Majesty's subjects to enlist, and promising a reward of ss. to every person bring ing volunteers, for each man. The leader of the applicants said he had brought a volunteer to head-quarters, the Golden Eagle, Mile end, Stepney, and upon asking for the reward of ss. it was refused, and be was told to go about his business. A young man said he had been already sworn in as a militiaman, and had brought four volunteers, and was entitled to 203., which had been refused. A youth said be had j o i ne d th e T ower H am l e t s militia, and was the bringer of three volunteers, who had jest been sworn in by his worship, and the pro mised reward of 53. for each man was refused. Mr. YARDLEY directed Sergeant Walsh, one of the recruiting officers, who had just attended with the volunteers, and was transacting business with Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, in the adjoining office, to be called into the cour,, and, upon questioning him, be said be believed that .bringers were paid 63. for each man they brought the first two days, but since then they had not ben paid. The applicants—The bills say so, and the Earl of Wilton's name is upon them as the colonel. Sergeant Walsh could say nothing about it. Mr. YARDLEY—The posting bills were perhaps issued by order of the colonel ? Sergeant Walsh— Perhaps so. Mr. YARDLEY asked the applicants if they bad ap plied to the captain ? The applicants—Yes; and the adjutant, who was there, ordered us out of the room, and directed that we should be kicked down stairs. Mr. YARDLEY believed that an army could be ob tained by voluntary enlistment in England more easily than in any other nation in the world. He thought the reward of 53. was quite unnecessary. There was a martial spirit and love of country among Englishmen quite sufficient to raise the required number of militia in the different counties and cities without offering this bonus at all, but as the reward had been published and not recalled it ought to be paid. _ _ The applicants—lt hes been paid to all bringers in ,he city of London. Mr. YARDLEY—Very likely; it was paid from the funds of the Corporation of London. Sergeant Walsh asked the applicants if the names of those volunteers whom they had brought to head quarters had been written on a piece of paper, and some of them, it appeared, had not been so. One of the applicants said, when he applied for the rewards for his men, one of the recruiting sergeants said he had given him bread and cheese and beer ; on which the officer said, " Ob, he has bought your re cruits; I shall pay nothing." Mr. YARDLEY desired the sergeant not to let the absence of a mere matter of form stand in the way of doing what was right. If the men were induced, by the offer of the reward, to bring the recruits to the Golden Eagle, it was desirable that they should be paid. He directed the sergeant to bring the subject under the notice of the adjutant, which he promised to do, and the parties retired. THE IRON TRADE. SEPTEMBER 27.—Much excitement has prevailed in the iron trade throughout the last week, and it is with great difficulty that business can be transacted. Most of the large makers have yet orders on hand, taken at the low prices, that will consume a large portion of the ensuing quarter to work off; and manufacturers in general are so pressed by their customers at the 20s. advance already declared, and eten at higher figures, that they feel much hesitation in making sales. It is stated that circulars have been sent out by some houses quoting from 30s. to 40s. advance upon their last quarter's sales; while the more moderate are refusing to accept orders, unless subject to future operations. From London, Liverpool, and all the places of export, re port speaks of extraordinary activity, and doubtless there exists, both here and in all other iron districts, still a decided upward tendency; but we are not aware that any formal declaration of more than 20s. on the nominal price of iron will be proposed at the preliminary meeting to be held at Wolverhampton on Thursday next. The result of its deliberations is looked forward to with some anxiety; but it should be remembered, as we some time since stated, that to reach even the prices that would be so declared, a very much larger advance than 203, (in some cases full 405.) will have to be obtained, and to anything further we do not think purchasers would be at all inclined to submit. In the meantime meetings have been held in the different localities to arrange the amount of wages to be given to the various classes of workmen, and the time from which the advance shall be paid; and we trust that a better understanding has now been estab lished., and that no further interruptiou will be ex- .
