erbirb `-Mbittion+ FRANCE. Bocher, administrator of the property of the Orleans family, having completed his term of one month's imprisonment, went to Brussels on Sunday last, and returned to Paris on the following day. We read in the Gazette de France—" Among the new provisions of the Bill on the butchery trade, the Government has, it is said, thrown that business completely open. The butchers will have no longer to furnish caution money. The right is reserved to the municipal authorities to make the necessary regulations to secure the sale of wholesome meat, but the municipal regulations cannot in any way restrict, even indirectly, the free trade proclaimed by the Bill. It is also in contemplation to suppress the power of fixing the price of meat. The intervention of the Caisse of Poissy will cease to be obligatory Tor sellers and buyers. The obligation imposed on the seller to reimburse to the butcher the price of the animal sold if it sh o uld di e a na t u ral death within nine days after the purchase, unless it is proved that the death has been caused by the fault of the butcher, will perhaps be maintain2d." Toe three streets, now called the Rues du Pot- . de- Fer, St. Germain-das-P163, and des Petits Augustms, are to henceforth form but one under the name of the Rue Bonaparte. ITALY. Letters from Chamb6ry of the 14th, in the Medi terraneo of Genoa s t a tes that the Arve has overfl owe d its banks, and laid the whole territory of F auc i gny under water, besides committing other ravages along its course. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 17th announces the arrival at Turin of M. Victor Bench:, Inspector- General of Agriculture in France. This gentleman is specially instructed to examine the nature of the malady called the grape blight, both in Piedmont and in other parts of Italy. The Giornale di Roma announces that four suspen sion-bridges are to be constructed over the Tiber, viz., at Ripetta, San Giovanni de' Fiorentini, Ponte Rotto, and Rips Grande. A company has undertaken the work, on condition of exacting a moderate toll. BATAVIA. A letter from Batavia, 221 of June, says — " The long-contempl ate d pro j ect of the Dutch Government to make a trial of the cultivation of Peruvian bark at Batavia will be now realised. The ship Prince Frederick of the Netherlands, from Vera Cruz, lately brought here a uumber o f plants, selected in Mexico by th a t experience d botanist, M. Professor of the Universi t y of Leyden, who arrived here by that vessel in order to superintend in per sonvolcano In the the cultivati Bth this valuable pl an t. morning of the 2of . May,the G edelo, a flames in the district of Tjandjoer, threw forth ffames and an immense quantity of ashes, which covered the ground to the distance of a league and a half round, and destroyed all th e vegetation. Stones o f from two to twelve feet in diameter were thrown up by the volcano, and when they fell on the houses they crushed in the roofs. Several persons were killed by these stones. A manlate h ly died in th e di s trict of Benjozmas in the n 6 year of hi s age. This is an unusu a l case of longevity c in this country. The deceased, who was a labouring man, had had four wives. He has left eight children, the eldest of whom _is i 2 and the young es t 16. He enjoyed a ll his faculties up to the last moment, and on th e d ay b efore his death walked a distance ' of two leagues to visit one of his grandchildren. In the estricts of Japara an d P a tt ie t h e w ild b oars h ave increased in a most frightful degree, and have done Much damage to the sugar plantations. Large re wards have been offered by the authorities for their destruction. In two days 5,395 were killed, prin cipally by the Chinese labourers, who are excellent sporiouien. The celebrated and hold female Ger man traveller, Madame Ida Pfeiffer, is now in Ba tavia ; she has lately been walking through the country, and generally performs about ten leagues a day. Madame Pfeiffer bas visited the Holy Land, Iceland, Sweden and Norway, Brazil, Chili, Tahiti, Canton, Singapore, Ceylon, Madras, Calcutta, Be flares, Allahabad, Agra, Delhi, Bombay, Bagdad, Mesopatamia, Hellah, Mossoul, Nineveh, Persia, Georgia, Armenia, Mingrelia, Russia in Europe , Kertcb, Odessa, Constantinople, Athens, Borneo, and a part of the island of Java. She intends very shortly to visit the mountains of Preanger in Java. Madame Pfeiffer is fifty-five years of age, but from her activity no one would take her for more than forty. She is capable of supporting the most extraordinary fatigue and privations, and has in the course of her travels passed two whole days without food, and without her health being in any way effected." MININ G INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of this day.) Business still remains inactive, with but few excep tions. There are inquiries for United Mines at 8501, while holders are firm in demanding from 9001. to 1,000/., from the improved prospects and abundance of ore raising from the new discovery. Botallacks have risen from 1 250/. to 26511 tt which sales have been effected, and prices now asking are from 2751. to 3001.

VAN DID EN'S LAND. Extract of a letter from an officer of the 99th Re giment, now quartered in Van Diemen's Land : " "Hobart T own Barracks, March 13, 1852. This is a delightful country, and as healthy as one could wish to be in, but it has one fault—being subject to hot winds, which blow frequently during the summer months, and make a person teel quite uncom fortable. ly e are very scarce of officers, having only five at head-quartere. I marched some men to Laun ceston a short time since ; it is a distance of 120 miles. We were six days marching, and all suffered a great deal. However lam amused myself shooting Posella p arrots, which abound along the roads in mil lions, also a species of beautiful bird called the bronze winged pigeon ; but this sort of amusement has its drawbacks, for the grass swarms with snakes of all descriptions, some of which are very beautiful, and others full of malignant poison. Whilst on the march, one morning, at six o'clock, I perceived an immense one, on whom I managed to steal, and succeeded in killing ; he measured six feet in length. One 'of our men brought him with him, wad at the next halt sold him for a ' nugget' of gold, valued at 21., to a digger who happened to be passing ; but nuggets are plenty here. You may call this a curious country. I know many gentlemen who have been obliged to sell their horses for want of grooms to mind them. You cannot get a coachman for even 2001. per annum. Lady Peddar told me yesterday that Sir John offered his coachman 2001. a year, and yet could not induce him to remain. Policemen are getting six shillings a day and their rations, and this will not coax them to stay ; and the governor has to employ as constables transported felons, taken out of the Penitentiary. All our soldiers who can go are going; in fact the awful state of things here is indescribable—every one leaving. As for tradesmen, you can get nothing done—no one can be got to stay. Boots are LOW 2/. 125., and those made by inferior hands; white trowsers, 11. Bs. per pair. You cannot get any sort of a coat for less than 71. or 81., and everything in the same ratio ; and the people here have become so purse-proud you dare not dictate to them. All say the diggins is very hard work, but for the diggers, as soon as they have made some money they all come back and spend it in a most extravagant manner. To give ycu some idea of things here, there is a very rich gentleman of my acquaintance who said to his butler, whom he heard was about to leave for the diggins, ' John, I will give you a half-crown a day more if you'll stay with me.' His answer was, 'l'll see you hanged first ; in a short time, when I return, I will give you more than that if you become servant to me.' We are very badly off for men. Captain B has gone to Mel bourne with a hundred pensioners, as we had no men to give. Gold has now been discovered at a place called Campbell Town, about fifty miles from here. I marched through it the other day, when they were prceapecting for it. I saw a lump of gold yesterday which a man found valued at 1,5001. Think of that. One young fellow, who was a clerk in the Australian Bank, at 1401 per annum, left for the diggins, and has since returned with an immense sum of money. In consequence of the extravagant price of everything here, I find it hard enough to rub it out. We have on an average, to pay 255. a month over our pay as contributions to our mess and band, and that without indulging in the slightest luxury whatever. Colonel Despard has written home to have our pay increased, as we cannot live on it. One poor fellow is ruined by it already. Lieutenant of curs, after seven years' service, threw up commis. sion and all, and went off to the diggins. lem afraid, if something is not done, the regiment will soon be without officers or men." THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. ESSEX —Some wheat that is reaped has become so thoroughly wetted that, unless the sheaves are un bound, but little chance exists of its being carted in a dry state. The effects of the milde w have been lost sight of since the greater calamity has overtaken us by the protracted wet weather, but the injury from that cause is much more extensive than was at first imagined. The barley is much sprouted b e f ore cut ting; on heavy pieces, much laid by th e ra i n, it will not be fit for malting purposes, and the quality will be generally inferior. Oats are good, and only require favourable weather to secure them. Peas are mostly harvested, but are only a moderate crop. The potatoes will be small, and below the average crop, as the bulbs have ceased growing since the blades have decayed, but we see no reason to apprehend that many will be lost by the disease ; indeed, so far as our own observation extends, fewer are found injured than have been found in any preceding year since the first ap pearance of the blight in 1846. The weather has now greater appearance of becoming settled than at any period for the last fortnight.—Chelmsford Chronicle. Oxrounsuram—Some little hay remains in the fields, but it is, from the continuous rains and heavy dews, little better than dung, and the forward samples of wheat are materially injured from the same cause ; while from the unexpected ripeness (not discovered , until the last few days, and probably premature from blight) much corn has shed both in reaping and re moval of sheaves in the brief interval of sunshine. The rain for several days was almost incessant, but yesterday (Wednesday) it was bright and sunshiny, are almost and should a continuance be vouchsafed to us, will soon atop, though probably not repair, the mischief.

We fear that in this locality 1 the potato crop will be a failure the stems in most fields being blighted.—N o ,. th Wales Chronicle. LIN COLLISHIRE. , -4SPALDIN%—previoUS to the storm of Tuesday night much of the corn had sprouted, and it is feared that material damage has been done to it. It is gratifying to learn that the vast corn district called the Marshes, extending along the coast from Spalding to Sutton Bridge, has not suffered materially from mildew or blight; the heavy fen lands have suffered most. No corn in the Holland division is yet housed, and there appears to have been a general scarcity of labourers throughout the dis trict. Prices for cutting, 12s. to 15s. per acre. KETTERING.—The crops of grain in the neighbour hood have arrived at maturity, and the harvest has commenced in earnest. It has, however, been re tarded by the late heavy rains, which came down so drenchingly that it was a l most thought Lord Maid stone's prophecy of the Deluge was about to be literally fulfilled. The temperature has also been warm, conse quently there are complaints of the grain sprouting to some extent. The wheat crops are heavy, but blight and mildew are spoken of as being somewhat extensive. The potatoes are much diseased, and the stench from the decaying stems in a morning is al most intolerable. GRANTHAM.--The harvest, which was proceeding with great vigour in this neighbourhood, was consi derably delayed by the unfavourable weather of Thursday and Friday in last week. Activity has again been resumed this week. The crops generally are ready for cutting, and are of fair quality And yi-ld, nothing likely to prove seriously detrimental being observable.—Stamford Mercury. YORKSBIRE.—The anxiety experienced in the course of last week as to the critical state of the weather, although partially relieved since that time, has not been entirely removed. The days have been generally fine, but much rain has fallen during the nights, consequently the progress of cutting has not been carried on with that rapidity which otherwise would have been the case. Hence also the corn already cut has remained in the field, in sheaf, longer than could be desired, arising from the fact that it was not in a fit state to be led home and housed. Yet many stacks have been secured in good con dition. But the unsettled state of the weather at this critical period, with the wind continually shift ing its quarters, and the atmosphere frequently disturbed, is far from promising. There is reason to believe that the sample, under these grievous but un avoidable circumstances, will not generally be of that excellent quality which, at one time, had been confi dently expected.—Doncaster Gazette.

NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN.) WEBSTER V. GARNETT. This was an acti on o f lib e l , b rought b y the plain tiff, who is lessee of the Haymarket Theatre, against the defendant, who is the proprietor of the Manchester Guardian newspaper. The defendant pleaded " Not guilty." Watson,Mr. W Q.C., M r. S ergeant Wilki ns, and Mr. Cowling app eare d for the plaintiff; and Mr. Hugh Hill, Q.C., and Mr. Aspland for the defendant. Mr. WATSON, in opening the case, said, the plain tiff' was the lessee of the Haymarket Theatre, and had l on g performed on th e stage with preat success. The defendant is the publisher of the Manchester Guar dian, and the plaintiff was compelled to come before them in consequence of the publication of a paragraph in that paper which was calculated to do him the greatest possible professi ona l i n j ury. Anything affecting the popularity of gentlemen in the plaintiff's profession was calculated t o b e a ser i ous i n j ury to t h em. T he present libel ar ose out of proceedings wh i ch took place in Manchever in June last, several gentlemen in that town havi ng reso l ve d to get up a ser i es o f dramatic R e rformanccs, the proceeds of which were to be applied to the charities of the town. The paragraph in question had cast an aspersion ea the character of Mr. Webster calculated to make him un popular at country towns, and to prevent his having engagements at country theatres. A new drama had just come out a t the Haymarket, and Mr. Webster was busily engag e d with it when he received, on the 17th of May, a letter from Mr. Worthington, the secretary of the local Charities Committee at Man chester, aski ng hi m if he could a ff ord assistance in carrying out a proposal of Mr. Knowles, the manager of the Manchester Theatre, to have a series of dra matic performances in aid of the charities of the town. Mr. Webster replied that he should be happy to afford su c h ass i stance as he was able, consisten t with the demands upon his time at his own theatre. On the 27th of May he wrote that he was so mucn engaged at his own theatre with the new drama of Mind Your Own Business, which had had a great run, that he could not come down, and could only spare some of hi s corps. A te l egrap hi c di spa t c h was sent to him u rg i ng him to come down, but he replied to this, offering to give up a day's performance to aid them, but he could do no more. In the Manchester Guardian of the 2d of June—a newspaper which had a large circulation—appeared the following pa ragraph : " Festival Performance in aid of the Local Charities. —(After a complimentary notice of the liberality of Mr. Knowles, the dramatist, it went on)—Oa Saturday we announced the programme for four out of the six nights, Wednesday and Thursday being left open because of the extraordinary neglect of Mr. Webster, lessee of the Hay market Theatre, who, after a letter of large professions, was written to thrice without deigning any answer, and when a pressing telegraphic message at length exhorted a reply, it was such as to determine the committee to make their arrangements without asking any aid from Mr. Webster." At first sight this might appear not to be a strong ob • servation regarding the plaintiff, but Mr. Webster felt that it would be destructive of his success should he ever afterwards be called upon to perform at Man chester, from the unpopularity it would raise against him, and the same effect would be produced in the smaller towns in which this paper circulated. Mr. Worthington, in answer to a letter from the plaintiff complaining of this paragraph, wrote to him that the paragraph ha complained of did not emanate from the Charities Committee. Mr. Webster then, by his attorney, called on the de fendant to retract the same, and make an apology for the injury which this paragraph was cal culated to i n fli c t u p on him. Th e d e f en d an t wrote in answer on June 12 :—" I beg to say, in reply, it is not my practice to make apologies, or to do anything else, under the pressure of threats." The letter went on to say it was the duty of every man of right feel ing in this country who had done an injury to retract it, and he would do so if the threats of proceedings were retracted. Mr. Webster, of course, could take no such step, and commenced the present action. Mr. Benjamin Webster examined—He was the ma nager of the Haymarket and Adelphi Theatres. En gagements in the provinces during the recess were highly important to him. He went as a " star" on those occasions, as an actor. He had performed at Manchester once. In May last he had brought out a new play entitled Mind Your Own Business, by Mr. Mark Lemon. It was important for the success of the new play that it should have a series of perform• ances. Witness and the main strength of the Haymarket company were engaged in that co medy. On the 17th cf May he received a letter from Mr. Worthington, the secretary of the Dramatic Festival Committee of Man chester, asking him to give his performance, and also that of some of his company, for one of six nights. He answered this on the 22d of May, offer ing his own and company's services as much as the demands of his own theatre would enable him. (The further correspondence opened by the Learned Coun sel was then put in and read, together with the libel.) The new play of Mind Your Own Business and a new farce of Keeley Worried by Buekstone at that ti me had a considerable run, and himself and most of his corps were engaged in performing in them, ren dering it impossibl e for him or them to go to Man chester. Notwithstanding his letter, he heard that to was announced to play at Manchester, and, in con sequence, he wrote to Mr. Worthington on the 3d of June offering to forego one of his performances in London, and come down to Manchester, rather than that the public should be disappointed. He first heard of the libel some days afterwards. On the 7th of June he received a letter from the Charities Commit tee, thanking him for his kind offer. He subsequently instructed his attorney to writs to the committee, complaining of the paragraph,and received an answer from Mr. Worthington that the paragraph did not, emanate from the committee. (These letters were pu t in.) Observations concern i ng ac t ors i n the pudic press had a very great effect on their success in their profession. (The letters to and from the defendant were then put in.) Thi s was the plaintiff's case. Mr. HILL, for the defendant, sincerely regretted that these steps had been taken. He was by no means insensible to the value of character, and of the neces p.reserving it f rom attacks ; but the paragraph sity of i n question gave no ground whatever for proceedings like this. Ho cast no aspersions whatever on Mr. Webster. But that gentleman occupied a position which brought him much before the public, and he mus t submit to the c omments and remar k s of the journals of the flay ; and, so long as those comments were not made for the purposo of private slander and a Mr. Webster h a d no r i g h t to comp l a i n. M r. c omplained th at the article in question WI'S w hu eb se s , ter a libel. Of that the jury would judge. They must not, however, forget the defendant, a gentleman equally res pectable w i t h M r. We b ster, an d b ound by his position to bring all matters of local interest before the public in his newspaper. The defendant was right in guar ding the success o f th e pu bli c c h ar iti es of the town where his newspaper was published. L oo ki ng, the duties and pos i t i on o f b o th t h ese gen. t here was n o p re t ence f or say i ng that the in question tra ns gressed th e b ounds of t t h ie e m n, eu a , t paragraph in The corres p o ndenc e w hi ch had been pi Mr. Webster of in the first his e instancesrvi ce s a very liberal offtar in from wasM —pre cisely what the p ara g r aph saide_en l full of professions." No doubt Mr. Webster, at the time he wrote this letter, intended to do what be professed, if able to do it. That offer was treated by . the co mmittee as a t liberal offer, and produced a corresponding im pressionmos on them, as appeared by their letter of the him any of three nights to 22d, offering perform and immediate answer, in order that their receivedarrangementsmg anti. the 29th of May, was, however, tsend their advertisements tyo' t a h nd they were obliged_ Mr. Webster's name announced e f news papers with M r. nces, which appeared the or two nights' performa very d ay received stating that h this letter was .

The attorney took care so to require an apology that h e would not lose his action. The defendant never felt any hostility t ow ards the P laintiff, and was quite e un conscious o f h a ving published _d any libel_ respe c ti ng him. If th e w h o le matter were fairly looked at he was satisfied th e jury would not be of opi n i on that this was a lib e l.

The jury retired to consider their verdict, a n d a f ter being absent about au hour, returned into court with a verdict for the defendant, WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Bristol, Aug. 19. (Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) LAVERTON V. THE BRISTOL WATERWORKS COMPANY. Mr. S'2rgeant Kinglake, Mr. Bintow, and Mr. M. Smith were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Butt, Mr. Rowe, and Mr. Stone for the defendants. The declaration in this case stated that, by an Act of Parliament under which this company was consti tuted, it became the duty of the defendants to lay down pipes, to affix water or fireplugs, and keep the mains charged, but that they neglected to do so, and did not keep the mains charged, in consequence whereof the plaintiff's premises were burnt down, and he sustained great loss. The defendants pleaded not guilty, and they also pleaded several other pleas, which, however, did not raise any particular question to be tried. It appeared that in 1846 an Act of Parliament was passed (9th and 10Lh of Victoria, c. 222) for the pure pose of supplying the inhabitants of the city of Bris tol with water. Several sections gave the company power to take lands, to take springs and other waters from a considerable distance, sand particul4ly from the river Chew, on the Mendip s ; t o lay down pipes, Sce. There was a proviso that all these works, &c., should be completed within five years from the passing of the Act. Other sections provided that the company should lay down mains and affix fireplugs for the supply of water for extinguishing fires, such fireplugs not to be more than 100 yards from each other; and it was enacted, that as soon as such fire plugs should have been completed, the company should deposit keys and affix public notices, to denote the situation of such fireplugs. By the 98th section it was declared that the company should at all times cause the mains to be fully charged, and that it should be lawful for all persons at all times to take and use the water of the company in extinguishing fires with out making compensation. The facts were simple. The plaintiff was a cabinet maker in large business in R e d c ross-street, in the city of Bristol. On th e 21 o f S ep t em b er , a b out two o'clock in the morning, his premises were discovered to be on fire. The al arm was g i ven, an d severa l enginesinstantly repaired to the spot ; but the efforts of the firemen were unavailable, as, al though there were mains and fireplugs in the street and neighbourhood, there was nos any water to be obtained, and it was nearly four o'clock before the engines could be got to work, and then the fire was extinguished in a comparatively short time. The supply of water to the city was upon the " pressure" system, so as to avoid the necessity of persons having cisterns ; the company, therefore, had the mains charged during the day, but stopped the supply during the night, in order to hus band the water. The company had refused to deposit keys, or to affix public notices, according to the pro visions of the Act. In consequence of there not being water in the mains on the night in question, the pre.. caises and goods of the plaintiff were destroyed, and he sustained damage to the amount of nearly 6001. As the company had refused to give any compensa tion to the plaintiff, he brought the present action to recover that which he alleged to be due to him in consequence of the negligence of the defendants in not having their mains charged with water in ac cordance with the provisions of their Act of Parlia meat. Upwards of 20 witnesses were examined to prove that there was a fire, that the mains were not charged, and the value of the property destroyed. The defence was that the defendants were not li able. By the Act of Parliament the company were empowered to take the water of the river Chew, 18 miles from Bristol, but they would not take the water of that river until they had formed three compensa tion reservoirs capable of holding a certain quantity of water, and had obtained a certificate to that effect from two magistrates. The company could not ob tain that certificate, and other circumstances delayed the progress of the works and prevented that state of things from existing at the time of the fire without which no obligation of any kind could have existed. The company had done all that was possible with a view of supplying the inhabitants with water. The public obligation only attached after the inhabitants were supplied. The great object of the Act of Par liament was to give the company power to supply the inhabitants with water for domestic purposes ; and, although the company had laid down mains and pipes, still they were not bound to find a supply of water for the extinguishing of fires until the domestic supply was complete ; and it was further contended that, by the Act, there was an exception in times of drought, &c., and it was said that at the time of the fire there had been a great drought, so that, in fact, the company bad not sufficient water for the purpose of extinguishing fires, or they could not on the follow ing day supply the inhabitants with the water they were entitled to. The company had done all they could under the incomplete state of their works. It was also submitted that, under this Act, no action was maintainable, but that the damage should be as sessed by a jury or determined by arbitration, because the obligation being imposed by Act of Parliament, the remedy pointed out by that Act of Parliament must be resorted to. The defendants proposed to show that at the time of the fire they had not completed their reservoirs under the Act, or obtained the magistrates' certificate that they were complete, but had entered into a money contract for the supply of water, and that the drought had prevented their finishing their reservoir+, and that had they not shut off the water from their mains on that night they would not have been able to supply the inhnbitants with water the next day. The Learned JUDGE decided that such evidence could not be received, and a bill of exceptions to that rule was tendered. Evidence was then given that the great damage was done before the arrival of the engines, but it was admitted that there was not any water for nearly an hour after their arrival, and it was then turned on by one of the turncocks. Some of the policemen who were called by the defendants stated that bad there been water some part of the premises might have been saved. It was clearly proved that during that night there was not any water at all in any main in the city of Bristol. .Ir. Baron PLATT, in summing up the case, ob served that there was a stipulation in th e Act of Par liament that the company should giv e p rotectio n to the public ; and, in case of fire, water was to be r eady to extinguish it. It was part of th eir bar g ai n that they should afford that benefit to the public as part of the service for which they were paid, and for the monopoly given them. It was the duty of the com pany to keep their mains full, and it was a serious dereliction of their duty to have neglected it. It was no answer to say that they could not have supplied their private customers with water had their mains been charged. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 5311. 18s. 7d. The case lasted nearly two days, and brought the Western Circuit to a close. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. THE TRIAL OF HENRY HARRISON FOR EXTORTING MONEY. In this case (which bad not concluded when our report left) the jury retired at 1 o'clock, and did not return into court until 6 o'clock, when they gave a verdict of Guilty, but recommended the prisoner strongly to mercy on account of the good character he had received. _ Mr. Justice TALFOURD, in passing sentence, said that the prisoner bad ben convicted of one of the most dreadful offences that could be committed by one man against another; and, if there had been any ground for supposing that he had been engaged in a system of extortion of this description, he would un doubtedly have been transported for life. The jury had recommended him to mercy, most probably on the ground that he had acted from some sudden temptation, and, as he concurred with them in that opinion, he would to a considerable extent give effect to their recommendation. It was utterly impossible, however, to pass over such an offence without a severe punishment, and he therefore felt it to be his duty to order hiin to be transported for 10 years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. James Newland, the young man who was charged at this court about 18 months ago with robbing his employer in Gutter-lane, and who made a statement on that occasion implicating a Jew of the name of Hart, who was subsequently acquitted, was yesterday brought up before Alderman Finnic, charged on sus picion of stealing a silver hunting watch. It appeared that the presecutrix, Louisa Jones, lodg e d in a house in Great Carter-lane, of which the prisoner's father was the landlord. The prisoner lived in the house to take care of it, while his parents, highly respectable persons, lodged elsewhere. The watch was safe in a drawer in prosecutrix's room on Thursday morning, and in the afternoon it was miss ing, the prisoner being the onl y p erson in the hous e besides herself during the interval. It will be remembere d that the p risoner was sen tenced to 12 months' im p risonment for robbin g his employer, and, while he was under g oin g the penalty of the law, he trumped u p a char g e of mi sconduct' o trace the ce most against one of the gaole rs of the prison, which w as inquired into, and the s tatement made b y the prisoner being proved to be utter l y without found ation, be was ordered to be fl egge d b y the common ha ngman. Since of f i e s the profligatel watcha r g em e h n a t vi hn and be hasbee abandoned discovered, associated isco v e character.edwithr m N e n o o ra ,the prisoner was remanded for further inquiry. Itn iNlrs . appeared Nlrbo sootlnfh.:t a M MARLBOROUGH-STREET George Peacock, jeweller and eilversmith ' Agar street, re street, Strand , wa s char ged with having in his posses sion a quantity of m 113 g iscellane o . property b e l o nging to Woolf is the w ife o f a person a co named J g r e s. neral dealer in Oxford-street , who was tried al: the Cen tral Criminal Court and sea. tented to transportation for having in his possession a quantity of silks, watches, &c, the produce of va rious burglaries and robberies. The prisoner had been employed by Jacobson, whose real name is Woalf, as foreman, and after the conviction of his employer he bad gone into business for himself. The property in question, which consisted of watches, rings, and other articles, was found in the prisoner's shop in Agar street, and identified by Mrs. Woolf as being part of the stock in one of her busbind's shops, which, as she alleged, had been surreptitiously re moved. The prisoner as?erted that the articles produced were his property. Some he had purchased, but the bulk had been given to him by way of payment for wages due at the time he left Jacobson's service. Mr. Austin, a solicitor, said he was in a condition to prove that only a clock had been given to the pri soner in part payment of his wages. Mr. Cross said he could produce a bill of parcels to show that the cases of some watches identified by Mrs. Woolf as her husband's property had been made for the prisoner. It must also be recollected that the articles said to be stolen had been found exposed pub licly in the shop for sale. Mr. llAttowick said the case must go to a jury. Mr. Crozss applied for leave to bail the prisoner. Mr. HaaDwicti would take time to decide upon the application. The prisoner wss then ordered to stand committed on the charge of stealing certain articles identified by Mrs. Woolf. MARYLEBONE. Michael Collins, Patrick Bryant, Joseph Cookley, James Sharman, azd Mary Sharman were placed at the bar before Mr. Bruugoton, charged with being concerned in illicit distillation. A great deal of evidence was gone into, from which it appeared that, i❑ consequence of information re ceived from Lockerby, au active officer, 180 S, Mr. Latton, a supervisor of the Excise, repaired with Mr. Richard Oliver, an officer in the same department, Lockerby and other police-constables, on the pre vious evening to a place called Fowler's-yard, run ning out of George-street, Euston-square. Latton and Oliver knocked several times, but, as no one came to the door, they forced their way in, having heard a great noise and confusion, when three of the prisoners tried to make their escape by a ladder through a hole which had been made in the roof. Tney, however, were prevented from making their egress that way by Mr. Minett, another Excise-officer, and a constable who had been prudently stationed in that elevated position, and on their satisfying themselves that they had no chance of getting clear off, es they expected, they retraced their steps and gave themselves up, as did also the other two prisoners. They were all taken into custody and conveyed to the station house, on the way to which neither offered any resistance whatever, some of them, at the period of their being captured, having exclaimed, " It's all over ; we are overpowered, and must give ourselves up." Mr. Latton described the illict distillery in question to have been more exten sive than any which had heretofore been brought under his notice as being carried on iu London. There were three large stills in full work, containing upwards of 1,000 gallons of molasses wash in a state of fermentation, together with more than 100 gallons of strong spirits is large carboys. The whole of the stills, tubs, carboys, &c,, were seized and conveyed away, and they completely filled two waggons and a cart. The system of illicit distillation upon the pre mises had no doubt been carried on to an extraordinary extent. The woman was discharged, and the other four pri soners were each fined 30/ , or three months' impri , sonment in the louse of Correction. WORSHIP-STREET. Samuel Williams and Joseph Percival, two dirty looking boys about 14 years old, were charged with felony. The prisoners, it appeared, had an unconquerable passion for witnessing theatrical performances, and, not possessing the pecuniary means for gratifying their propensities, resorted to the following bold device for accomplishing their object. Mr. Charles Busher is one of the money-takers at the Pavilion Theatre, Whitechapel, and was actively engaged in admitting the audience at one of the busiest hours in the evening a few nights since, when he suddenly saw a small arm dart through the aperture of his box, and the hand attached to it having grasped as many of the metal checks as it could possibly hold, they were both withdrawn with the booty. The witness dared not leave his seat, or he would certainly, in that classic neighbourhood, have lost all his money as well, and be was therefore obliged to sit passively still while the thief was escaping, aril trust to chance for detection upon a future occasion. The checks were all alike, and could not be stopped; but be fortunately caught a glance of the face of the thief as he rushed past him, and, as he naturally anticipated that the depredator would be sure to present some of them himself, that he might enjoy the benefit of his furtive dexterity, he kept a sharp look out for a second interview with him, and was not long in being gratified, as he again caught a glimpse of the same countenance at the same spot, and about the seine hour, on the preceding even ing, its owner evidently intending to rush past in the struggling crowd of dramatic admirers without pay ment, and obtain admission by presenting the stolen checks. This intention, however, was thwarted, for just as the two prisoners were exchanging two of the checks further on, they were pounced upon by a constable and one of the scene painters and secured. Williams was taken first, and Percival, on seeing the other one captured, started back and thrust two more checks into a crevice, but they would not sink far enough, and on their being recovered the second boy acknowledged that he had had six before. When called upon for their defence both boys can didly confessed their delinquency, Williams as the depredator, and Percival as part receiver, the former, however, pleading that he had only been able to se cure thirteen of the checks in the rapid grasp he was obliged to make at them - and Mr. D'Enscouter, on determining upon a summary conviction, sentenced each to a month's imprisonment in the House of Correction for being in illegal pos session of stolen property. LAMBETH. William Downes, who has been in custody for some weeks on a charge of " sharping" Mr. Thomas Hiller, a greengrocer, residing at 16, Princess-ter. race, Caledonian-road, Islington, out of 101, and also robbing him of 151, was again placed at the bar be fore the Hon. G. C. Norton. From the evidence adduced against the prisoner, it appeared that on Saturday, the 24th of last month, he, accompanied by two of his confederates, entered the prosecutor's shop and asked for some oysters, knowing very well that he did not deal in such an article; and, up,,n being told the fact, said he would not mind giving 51. for some, and that he would stand a pound's worth. The prisoner, who shammed drun kenness, began tossing with the others, who seemed sober, for money, but tie prosecutor objecting to it and saying be could not allow such a proceeding in his house, all three left, the prisoner neglecting (in tentionally, no do u bt) t o t a k e hi s can e with him med On , and the following Mond a y th e p r i so ner again el anxiously inquired if he had been there on Friday or Saturday, saying that he had been to s ome place where he had left his cane, and he did not mind giv ing Si or even 10/. for its restoration,ehad come up from as it belonged to his father. He Reading to receive said 2,oool,, which h , w hich his aunt had left him, and that he should O stop in town another week, and did not much care if he spent the Whole of that money, as he should g et seven times that amount when he got back. Just before,on the the prisoner's calling prosecutor, and a confederate "dropped in ' after asking various questions as to the rent of the houses in the neighbourhood, he inquired if he had go t a horse and cart. The prosecutor said he had, and he then asked if he could remove some pictures for him from " round the corner " to Finsbury, and said he should call back in a short time, when he re quested that the horse and cart might be ready. While the prisoner was in the shop speaking about the 2,000/. the other man returned, and said he was v ery sorry that he could not have the things moved on that day, and ultimately a ride to Copenhagen fields, to see a walki ng - ma t c h , was proposed and agreed upon. Before beaching that place they pulled up at two public-houses, and though the prosecutor had not drunk much he became perfectly stupid. After this they drove to several places, and, the third man having disappeared, the prisoner told the prose cutor that he was incapable of taking care of his money, and said he should keep it for him. The pro secutor then gave him some money, which the pri soner said was 151., an d h av i ng won f rom him besides 101. at skittl es , t h e pr i soner attempted to make his escape, but was secure d, Wh en t a k e n to the station ere and searched, 11 sovere i gns an dl43. 6d. in silver w found on hi m , b u t no no t e s. There were also found close to where he stood nine pieces—eight erel.an. counters resembling soverigns, and one half-sovereign. Walnut Tree `William Parsons, potman a.. the on the 24th of July public-house, Lambeth, the prisoner and prosecutsoaridedn thatte red the skittle-ground belonging to his master, a the first game the the pro prisoner rlilayed at skittles. In bet the prisoner five pounds to one, and won. In the next game, which was for Si. e ach, the prosecutor gave the prisoner two chalks out of five, and the latter won of Course. Sergeant Combes,'lo L, said he bad known the pri soner well for six or seven years, and during the whole of that time he was the constant companion of the members of the swell mob, and the most notorious thieves and skittle sharps. He had also seen him at various races, end had observed him in the betting ring at some of those places, with his betting-book and pencil in hand,offering to lay any atnount against the horses entered for the race.— (Laughter.) Combs mentioned the names of several of the thieves and bad characters in whose company he had observed the prisoner, and amongst them was the murderer of Mr. J3ellcharabers in Westmiw ter, The prisoner, who declined offering anythiog 1° defence, was fully ct natritted to take his trial at the Old. Bailey, on the double charge of conspiracy t° defraud and also robbinw the prosecutor of 1 51 .; bust it being expected that other charges will be brough t . against him, he was ordered to be broug ht UP " 4 till other day.
