FRANCE. [The following appeared in our Third Edition ol Saturday] : The Committee of Justice has resolved, after an ani mated discussion, to recommend to the National As' sembly not to take into consideration the proposition of M. LEICHTENBERGER, that the state of siege should b€ taken off before the discussion on the Constitution. 11 CREMIEUX has been appointed reporter. M. DE LA➢IARTLVE has addressed the following letti to the editor of the Spectateur : " Sir,—You announce that several meetings of represent] tives have been kind enough to think of me for the Prey dency of the National Assembly. Whatever might be re gratitude for that honour, which I should receive from tt sole idea of my colleagues, be kind enough to inform thet through your journal, of the material impossibility for me I accept such high and difficult functions at this moment. should be sorry f my silence to cost the Assembly a bath lost on my name. 2 4teceive, &c." In publishing the above, the Bien Public intimates the the state of M. DE LAnARTINE'S health requires repos, LOMBARDY AND PIEDMONT. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 14th publishes an or der dated Vigevano, Aug. 10, by which the Piedmontese army is cantoned in various places of the vicinity. The chief head-quarters are at Alexandria. Further accounts of the 9th from Bologna state that the citizens took two pieces of cannon at the Moutagnola, and the curate of Borgo Panigale, at the head of 1,800 men, took two more. At twe P.m. the Austrians were retiring. Thp Duke of MODENA entered that city on the Bth; he hag published a proclamation, conceding a general amnesty, except against the chiefs and promoters, whom he allow to leave the state. The proclamation adds, that th • Duke is engaged in givi ng th ose concess i ons h e i nten d er, to grant before the commotion. ROME. Advices from Ferrara of the Bth at noon announce the arrival at that hour of an estafette from Rome to the Prolegate, with dispatches ordering him to intimate to the Austrians to evacuate the Pontifical States; arid to state that, in case of refusal, measures have been agreed to between the French and English Ambassadors to ob-J Lain the execution of the order. In the sitting of the Bth, of the Roman Chamber oft, Deputies, Cardinal SOGLIA read the following declara tion, signed by all the Ministers:— "Ills Holiness has firmly resolved to defend his States against the Austrian invasion, with all the means that the, State and the well-regulated enthusiasm of his people mar. furnish. His Holiness loudly denies, by our organ, the words/ of Marshal Welden, protesting against whatever sinister in-1 terpretation may have been given to his expressions, and de-1 daring that the conduct of Marshal Welden is considered by! his Holiness as hostile to the Holy See and to the Pontiff. who cannot intend, nor intends, to separate the cause of his people from his own, and considers every insult or damage done to the people as done to himself; and his Holiness has already declared this by solemn acts, and with all the autho rity of his supreme rank of Prince and Pontiff, as may also be proved from the following Aispatch. (Signed) " CARDINAL_SoarAA, President;; fABEEI ; "DE Rossi ; LAURI ; GUARI ; PERFETTI. The dispatch alluded to is dated the Bth, and ad dressed to Cardinal MARINI, Legate of Fedi, command ing him to proceed immediately, accompanied by Prince cosiNx, senator of Rome, and Prince SIDEONETTI, t Marshal WELDEN, and demand of him an explanation of his congmt, and intimate to him the immediate evacu ation orThe provinces ; or his HOLINESS will employ all the means in his power to repulse the unjust occu pation. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PRIZE MONEY FOR THE ACTXON. Mr. Chippendale has annpunced to Captain Mansel and the officers and company late of the Actwon, 26, that a dis tribution of the nett proceeds of the brigantine, name un known, captured on the 3d of April, 1846, will be made at the officef the agent, No. 10, John-street, Adelphi, on and after the Bth of September, 1848:-- Captain ... £9l 18 9 First class (lieutenants) ..• ... 20 19 7 Second class (surgeon, purser, master, and war rant-officers) ... 12 11 9i Third class (midshipmen, Ist class petty offioers, &c.) ... 6 510 Fourth class (2d class petty-officers) 4 3 11 ifth class (able and ordinary seamen) 2 1 Sixth class (landmen and marines) ... 1 711 Seventh class (boys) ... 013 11 This distribution is made under the old order in Council, which is much more fair and equitable than the new distri bution of prize money, a specimen of which we gave on Wednesday, in the announcement of prize money for the officers and men late of the Styx. Above it will be seen that the captain has one-eighth of the whole, and about 4} times more than the officer next in rank to him, the lieute nant, and about 30 times more than the able seaman ; whereas, according to the new allocation, the captain gets 7i times more than the lieutenant, and nearly 70 times more than ;the A.B. According to the old scale the lieutenant gets 1 2-3 times more than the surgeon, purser, mate, &c., and 10 times more than the A.B. ; but the new scale gives him twice as much as his subordinate officers. What indiced the Admiralty to "ame n d" th e o ld sca l e o f distribun of prize money, after this unjust and dispro portionate fashion. we cannot, at the present moment, divine. Commanders were plentiful enough for coast of Africa or any other service ; lieutenants, however, were, as they are now, certainly with good reason, very shy of the station. The alteration, indeed, in giving the commander 7 times more than the lieutenant, instead of 4 2-3 times more, which he was, under the old scale, entitled to receive, was certainly rather a novel method of inducing men of corn iisense to volunteer to serve on the most deadly station iirTaz world. The inconsistency here, however, is something more than ridiculous—it is, to use the mildest term, a posi tive injury, which we trust will soon be repaired by the pre sent Board of Admiralty.— Herald. PRWAOTIOIIII. Mates—Henry Anson Ford (1847), senior of the St. Vin cent, 120, and senior but two of the mates eligible for pro motion ; Rowley Lambert (1847), who has just passed ; and Arthur Bessell Hodgkinson, recently passed, have been pro moted to the rank of Lieutenant.

The Birkenhead, steam frigate, Commander Bayntun, had arrived at Cork, with ma rines, on the 15th. A correspondent at Killibegs writes, under date of August 15 :—" Her Majesty's steam-frigate Dragon, Captain M. IL Hall, anchored here on the 11th inst., having sailed from Dublin Bay the Bth. We understand that she touched at all the intermediate ports, including Belfast (where she took on board 170 tons of coal), Londonderry, Lough Swill , IPic. Yesterday, my brother magistrates accom panied me on board, with many of the respectable inha bitants of the neighbourhood, to witness firing at a mark placed under a cliff, at 1,300 yards distance. The mark was struck several times, and the shells burst close to it, to the astonishment of us on board and those on shore. It happened to be our cattle fair, aid hundreds of people were in town from distant parts of the country. The ma gistrates were all pleased, and declared it would do much .)ocl. They had heard of the Dragon's 84-pounders from Me north, and the report spread far and near. The Dragon leaves us this evening to join the squadron collecting in the river Shannon." The Fortitude, coal depot, at Chatham, is ordered to be re moved to Saltpan Reach, it being a more central position be tween Chatham and Sheet ness. The golKngwood, 80, is ;to be taken into dock to be re paired at Portsmouth which the Phoenix vacates.

Steele (May, 1845). The commander of the Race horse has fully availed himself of the very excellent Admi ralty regulations, with reference to the promotion of boys to vacant ratings. She has co me home, in consequence, above a score short of first and second class boys. She will doubt lesgle paid off at Devonpor t. The Fly, 18, Commander Oliver, arrived at Wellington, New Zealand, April 30, and has relieved the Racehorse. The Grecian, 16, Coalman der Tyndal, left Rio, June 17, for Monte Video.

The Ajax, 56, screw guurd-ship, was taken under the shears at Portsmouth on Friday morning, and her screw, fixed in the metal frame, was got on board and partly lowered into the well built to receive it; it was, however, found that the well was rather too small for the spread of the fans, and it would not go down in its place. It was conse quently hoisted on deck ag, tin, and a small part of the ex treme angle of the fans, abet rt an inch and a half, will have to be cat off. I t w ill b e ships 4.d on Monday.

Bolton, Esqs., borough magistrates, George Joseph Mantle, one of the principal Chartist leaders of this town was charged with having as• wilted one of the police in the execution of his duty. The magistrates ordered the prisoner to be remanded. George White, a Chartist leader, was charged w ith sedition. Mr. Harry Griffiths, solicitor, said lie was instructed, on the part of the Crown, to support an information against the prisoner, for having attended an unlawful meeting in that town, on the 6th inst., and used seditious language. Mr. Griffiths then adverted to the recent events which have taken place in France and Ireland, and said, in consequence of these events, particularly in Ireland, a number of persons in this country considered they had a right to join the insurrectionists in the sister country, and aid and assist them in carrying on war against the Queen. They had confede rated together for that purpose, and in many cases used im proper and seditious language. He should not detal the language used by the prisoner, but call witnesses, who would do so. William Donnery, a police-officer, proved that he was at a ra 'ating at the People's Hall on Sunday, the 6th instant, and there saw the prisoaer. He believed that there was a man there . of the name of Jenny. Dl r. Major Brindley examined.—l am a reporter in Bir• mingham. I attended the meeting at the People's Hall, on the 6th August. There were, I should suppose, about 500 or 600 persons present. The witness gave evidence as to the violent language used by the chairman and by the prisoner. The prisoner then proceeded to cross-examine the wit ness, who said he would not swear that his note-book con tained a full report of all the prisoner's speech, but he would swear that it contained a fair note of so much of his speech as he took down. lie attended the meeting to send a report of it to The Sun newspaper; but Mr. Stephens, the superintendent of police, told him he should require the notes transcribed, and he prepared them for him. The MAGISTRATES retired for a few minutes, and on their return said they had decided upon committing the prisoner, but they would admit him to bail—himself in 100/., and two sureties in 501. each, and twenty-four hours' notice to be given of the bail. Jenny and Ring, who were remanded yesterday, were to day placed at the dock, charged with sedition, when The MAGISTRATES ordered Jenny to be discharged, and Ring to be committed, subject to bail, the same as in the case of White. ELECTION COMMITTEES. (SATURDAY.) DUBLIN. The Committee were engaged the whole of to-day in re ceiving evidence of the sitting Member's qualification. CHELTENHAM. The rebutting evidence of the sitting Member was resumed to-day, and several witnesses spoke positively to the fact of Mr. Berkeley having publicly declared both at the last and the previous election that he would be no party to any pro posals for bribing or treating the voters. HORSHAM. The evidence in support of the petitioner's case was re sumed. One act of bribery was proved. The voter was promised 351. to poll for Mr. Fitzgerald. He received 101. down, and gave an 1.0. U. to Mr. Padwick, the party who adminstered the bribe, to give a colourable aspect to the transaction. The voter nevertheless supported the rival interest. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Guildford, August 19. (Before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury. KENNEDY V. CLARK. This was an action to recover the sum of 3,1501., as the alleged value of the celebrated race-horse Sir Tattoo Sykes. The form of the action was as for goods sold and delivered, to which the defendant pleaded payment. Sergeant Sbeo and Mr. Petersdorff were for the plaintiff; Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Bovell for the de fendant. Sergeant Shee said the plaintiff in this action, Mr. Robert Blair Kennedy, was a gentleman of fortune. He was twenty-three years old, and he had obtained that which he himself, no doubt, considered a source of great pleasure, but which he (the :Learned Sergeant) could not help looking upon as a very great misfortune for any young man—an early introduction to the turf. The de fendant, Mr. E. Rawson Clark, was a gentleman who had been long acquainted with the turf; he had been " on the turf " a very long time, aad he, as well as the plain tiff, was in the habit of attending all the principal race-courses in the kingdom. In 1847, the plaintiff became the owner of the celebrated race-horse Sir Tatton Sykes. At that time he had run second for the Derby, had won the 2,000 guineas at Newmarket, and had also won the St. Leger and some other races, and was a horse of celebrity, and the plaintiff gave 1,350/. for him. On the 7th of June, or about that time, the parties were at Ascot Races, where the horse was en tered for the Hunt Cup, and Mr. Clark, who was well acquainted with the horse previously, saw him run. Atter the races the plaintiff went to Windsor, and put up at the Castle Hotel ; he there met the defendant, and some conversation took place between them on the sub ject of the horse, when Mr. Kennedy said lie would sell him for 1,1001. The defendant entertained the proposal but mentioned certain terms, to which Mr. Kennedy de clined to accede, and nothing at all passed which could lead to a supposition that the horse had been disposed of by the plaintiff. A few days afterwards, however, the plaintiff was very much surprised to hear that his horse, which he supposed to beat his trainer's, was in reality in possession of the defendant, and that he had entered him to run at Hampton races as his own horse. The plaintiff was of course very much surprised at the circumstance, for although he had certainly offered to sell the horse upon certain conditions, yet nothing decisive was ar ranged, and the defendant had no right whatever to obtain possession of the animal. He, therefore, imme diately gave instructions :to his solicitor, and that gen tleman proceeded at once to Hampton Races, where he found the horse in the care of the defendant, who was leading him about the race-course preparatory to his starting for a race about to commence. The defendant was asked how the horse came into his possession, was told that he knew very well it belonged to Mr. Kennedy, 'and was called upon by the solicitor to account for having it, upon which the defendant said he had bought it for 8501., but he had not paid for it, and he offered to give a cheque for the amount. The solicitor declined to receive the cheque, and in sisted upon having the horse returned, or else be threatened to give Mr. Clark into custody. The defen dant was very angry upon this threat being made, and a police officer was called in, but on his hearing the na ture of the case he declined to interfere, but suggested that the matter should be referred to the stewards. The parties, accordingly went before Captain W. Peel, and Mr. Ricardo, the gentlemen who were acting in that capacity, and after the facts had been stated to them, they decided that the horse should start, and he did so, and afterwards remained in the possession of the de fendant. A Jew days afterwards the plaintiff's solicitor saw the defendant again at Tattersall's, when he served him with the writ in this action, and upon this occasion the defendant asserted that he had bought the horse, and paid for him, and that what had taken place between him and Mr. Kennedy amounted to a sale. These were the facts he should have to lay before them. He was not aware what defence was to be set up, but he believed an attempt would be made to establish some special contract, founded upon certain letters written by the plaintiff. He did not, however, believe that such an attempt would be successful, and in the result the jury would see that the plaintiff was, at all events, entitled to a verdict for 8501. Captain A. M. Alleyne was then called—He said I am acquainted with the plaintiff, and I was at Ascot races with him on the 7th of June, and saw his horse Sir Tatton Sykes, run on that day. On our return we stop ped at the Castle, at Windsor. The defendant was there, and I heard Mr. Kennedy offer to sell his horse Sir Tatton for 1,100/. There was some cavilling about the price, and at last a sum of 850/. was men tioned, but I don't know how it arose. The discussion, however, terminated, as I understood, without any sale being completed. I afterwards saw the defendant at Hampton races, when he told me he had become the purchaser of the horse, and he said he considered it a very good purchase. I saw him agai❑ at Newmarket races on the 4th July, when he told me that an action had been brought against him to recover the price of the horse, and he said he would be glad to give 100/. or 150/. to be off the bargain, and he wished ho bad never seen the horse. He likewise told rre that he had offered to pay 850/., which was the price agreed, upon; but this offer had not been accepted. I know the horse by sight, and should consider him to be worth 1,500/. By Mr. CHAMBERS—I have not been much on the turf myself, but my brother keeps two or three race horses, He is a friend of Mr. Kennedy, and I have also known him four or five years. He is on the turf. The CHIEF BARON—What is the meaning of the ex pression " on the turf?"—(A laugh.) Mr. CHAMBERS—My Lord, I can hardly tell you. The CHIEF BARON—Is every one who runs race-horses supposed to be " on the turf?" CIIAMBERS—I rather think not, my Lord. Cross-examination continued—l bet, and so does my brother. lam not a judge of race horses. I saw Sir Tattoo run at Hampton. Ile was beat. It was only for a small stake, and they were not first•class horses that run against him. I don't think my brother bought a bill stamp at Windsor, but a blank stamp was brought into the room, and, as I suppose, in connexion with the pro posed purchase of the horse. I think the amount of the bill was to be 1,1001., but I cannot speak with certainty. The defendant wanted Mr. Kennedy to warrant the horse, hut I don't recollect if he refused, but they said they would talk about it the next day. The letters (produced) are in Mr. Kennedy's handwriting. William Spernton said, I am groom to John Scott, the trainer. Sir Tatton Sykes was at our stables, at Leatherhead, in the early part of June in last year. He belonged to Mr. Kennedy. I took the horse to Ascot Races, and saw Mr. Kennedy there. The horse was rode by Frank Butler, in Mr. Kennedy's name, lie was beaten by a horse named Conyngham, and atter the race I took him back to Leatherhead, where he remained ua him til and took the llthof June, himw ay. I saw when George Sir D Tattoo win c k t e t r e ay appli e d for the Leger, and also the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket, and when he was second for the Derby. by Sykes G e o r b g e e i n i l c it Mr. J. Parsons, clerk of the course at Hampt on horse, and that he ran in his name. eRr en teredaa y c e , s b t, s t rau t i h dn e 7 d l e Hr f e ee n u i d we a ma n s t b e h e nr a t s eS s ri i er n d c e Tt o t a o tr l t d : nri m e that h e was h i s Mr. M. Newton said—l am the plaintiff's solicitor. I know the defendant. Ile has offices in Clifford-street, Bond-street, and acts as a bill agent, and he is also on the turf. In consequence of directions I received from the plaintiff, I went on the 15th June to Hampton races, where I saw the defendant leading the horse in question on the course. According to my instructions I asked him how he had obtained possession of Kennedy's horse, and he replied that he had bought it. I asked if he had paid for it, and he said he had not, but he would give me an undertaking to pay for it. I told him I was instructed that he had obtained possession of the horse from John Scott without Mr. Kennedy's knowledge or consent, and I said I should hand him over to the police. The defendant then offered to give me a cheque for 8501,, but I refused to take it, and laid hold of the horse's bridle, when the defendant threatened to knock me down if I did not I p o r o e s s e ent m , y hold, and also threatened D o m ck e e , ra b y u , t a his po t l r ic a e in i e n r s , pe w c h to o r %; n a .s terefered, and advised that an application should be made to the stewards, and we went to them, and I made a complaint that th e d e f endant had obtained the horse th w rou i r t es il : o ta t e aiostnmdohnlyhlrya.cdo paidKamefipetw complaint; minutesBn Kennedy ' s o s i asserted consent.for before it.eore he l i I hd that ea The defenda n t, in an swere eadh this o a boughtdfiercouldednto o pt t be y me, and I asked for a rece i pt, b ut none was produced.

I saw the defend ant on the 20th of June, at Tatte rsa ll' s, and served him tla with a writ of summons on this action, and at the same time told him he was very fortunate that Mr. Kennedy had only taken civil proceedings against him. He replied that he had bought the horse, and to satisfy me of the fact be pulled a letter from his pocket, and said he sup. posed I was acquainted with Kennedy's handwriting, and handed it to me to read; but when I was about to do so he took it from me, and said, " You ought not to fight against us men of the world, you ought to pro tectsupposesuinf dlacyananpdavyayyoluismoot/h. e n b o al w an an e d e, m th e a e t t mr. us .

I would no t acce pt th e o ff er, my writ being issued for 3,1501. as the price of the horse, and I had not instructions to take less. The defendant at tached to his proposition a condition that Mr. Kennedy should retract a letter he bad written to Bell's Life newspaper, which he said had got him in disgrace with the Jockey Club. This witness was cross-examined at some length as to ' the nature of some money transactions between him and the plaintiff, and the brother of Captain Alleyne, but they did not appear to have any reference to the matter in issue, and it will, therefore, be unnecessary to detail the particulars. Inspector Otway said, he was on duty at Hampton races, and heard the dispute about the horse, and heard Mr. Newton claim him, and say that ho had been ob tained from the stables by false pretences; and Mr. Clark replied, that he had bought the horse and paid for it. There was a good deal of confusion, and Mr. Newton was shoved away from the horse, and I told him I did not think it was a case in which I could interfere, and advised him to apply to the Stewards, and the parties went to them. During the conversation I heard some thing about 850/. as the price of the horse. Cross-examined—l did not hear Mr. Clark say any thing about a bill of exchange. Mr. Isaac Day said—l am a trainer of race-horses, and know Sir Tatton Sykes. I bought him in 1847 of William Scott for the brother of Captain Alleyne, and gave three thousand guineas for him. I remember the disturbance at Hampton races, and the defendant told me afterwards that he had given 850/. for the horse to Mr. Kennedy. It was difficult to get at the value of a race-horse, but Sir Tatton was a very fine horse, and I should say, as a stud horse, would be worth 1,5001. Cross-examined—When I bought him his character stood very high. He ran two or three times while he was i n my charge, and lost on every occasion. I believe he was sold to the plaintiff at Goodwood races, 1847. He has never won a race since. Mr. William Scott, the jockey, said—l bought Sir Tatton Sykes while he was a yearling. He is now five years old. I afterwards sold him, through Mr. Day, to Mr. Alleyne, for three thousand guineas. The money was paid all "clean and nice."—(A laugh.) The CHIEF BARON—What do you meals by being paid all clean and nice ? Witness—l mean, my Lord, there was no bill, or anything of that sort. The CHIEF BARON —Then you don't mean the money was paid H new notes, or gold ? I suppose very dirty notes you would consider to be a very clean, nice pay ment 2—(A laugh.) Witness—Exactly, my Lord. Sergeant SuEs---What would you say was the value of the horse at this time ? Witness—l consider him worth 2,000/. as a stud horse. He is no good as a race horse, but he is worth that sum for the stud. Mr. CHAMBERS—WouId you give 2,000 guineas for him ? Witness—Oh ! that is quite another question.— (A laugh.) I do n 't k eep race-horses. C Mr. HA.MBEBS—CouId you get 2,000/. for him ? Witness—ldon't know of a customer, but a horse that had won the Leger, the 2,000 guineas, and who was second for the Derby must always fetch a good deal of money. Lanercost was sold for 3,000/., and he did not run so many races. Sir Tattoo's legs are nearly gone, and he is not fit to run as a race-horse. Mr. CHAMBERS—You have talked about Lanercost. Do you remember Pyrrhus the First? Did not he win the Derby? Winess—He scrambled through it after getting a 70 yards' start.—(A laugh). Mr. Cus.sinEas—Oh, he scrambled through it, did he? —(Renewed laughter.) After this scramble was not be sold for 700/.? Witness—l have heard so. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. CHAMBERS then addressed the jury for the defen dant, and be commenced by stating that very few per sons were acquainted with the secrets of the turf, or the nature of many of the transactions that took place there between parties connected with it, but he said he should be able to satisfy them of the real character of this proceeding, and they would ; see that there was no ground for the present action. The claim for 3,150/., in the first place, was perfectly rid culous, because it was quite clear, from the plaintiff's evidence, that the only sum in question was 8501.; and he must observe, that if young men chose to be silly enough to go upon the turf, as it was termed, and mix with older and more experienced persons, they could hardly expect to do so without burning their fingers. The jury would see that the real point in dispute between the parties was whether the horse had been sold or not; and it would be important for them to remember in the outset that there was a negotiation between them at Windsor, for the sale and purchase, and that a bill- stamp was actually produced; and although, from some reason or other, the negotiation was broken off, yet it was proved that an arrangement was made that they should meet the next or some future day to have some further talk on the subject. He should show them that they did meet on the Bth June, and that it was arranged that the defendant should give a bill for 1,1001., at twelve months' date, for the horse, and t the sum of 850/. arose in this way. Mr. Kennedy was want of ready money, and it was arranged that the bill was to be discounted, and the sum in question was expected to be the result after the discount had been deducted; but he should show that, at all events, the plaintiff was willing to part with his horse for that sum, and he should prove that Mr. Kennedy gave his trainer, John Scott, autho rity to deliver the horse to the defendant. lie did not impute bad faith to the plaintiff in this transaction, but he believed that he was no real party to the present action, and that it was only brought by parties con nected with him for their own purposes. The acceptance was got ready, but Scott declined to receive it, but having the plaintiff's authority, he had no difficulty in giving the horse up to the defendant's trainer. The Learned Counsel then read a letter, which he said was received by the defendant from Mr. Kennedy, on the 13th of June, two days after the horse had been taken away. It was to the effect, that he was still of the same mind with regard to disposing of Sir Tatton Sykes, but that the proposition of the bill for 1,1001. for him could not be entertained unless Mr. Clark could get it discounted without having his (Ken nedy's) name upon it, and that it realised 850/. ready money, or he offered to take 7501. in ready money, and the defendant's bill at four months for 100/. The letter contained two other propositions, one of 750/. down with a promise of 150/, more upon his winning the first han dicap race in which he was entered; or a net sun of 8501.; and it concluded by the plaintiff expressing an opinion that the race.at Ascot could not have been Sir Tattoo's true running, and stating that if none of his propositions were agreed to, he should place the horse in the care of another trainer and give him a trial, and he said he had no doubt he should eventually make those persons who were continually " peppering" the horse, pay dearly for their temerity. The letter concluded by requesting an immediate answer. The Learned Coun sel went on to say that he could not understand what was the real object of this letter, for at the time the sale had been concluded, and the animal was actually re moved. He then referred to the other circumstances of t h e case, and said that it was a most improper proceed ing to make the charge against the defendant on a pub lic race-course, of having fraudulently obtained posses sion of the horse, and it was not at all surprising that he evinced some warmth on the occasion. He concluded by saying that the only question for the jury was whether there bad been a sale or not, and when they had heard the evidence he should adduce, he was of opinion they would think the defendant was entitled to a verdict. Mr. T. Fisk said, I know the plaintiff and the de fendant. I saw them together at Ascot on the Bth of June. This was after the meeting at Windsor. There was a discussion about the sale of Sir Tatton, and I heard the defendant ask if Mr. Kennedy would take his bill at twelve months for 1 ,1001., and give a guarantee of the horso's soundness. Mr. Kennedy said he would, and agreed to meet the defendant on the following day to receive the bill, and hand over the warranty of soundness to the defendant. Qeorge Dockeray said, I am a trainer of race-horses, and keep stables at Epsom, and train for the defendant. While I was at Ascot races, Mr. Clark came to me and said, in the presence of Mr. Kennedy, that ho had bought Sir Tatton Sykes. I replied, " What the devil did you buy such a ' rip as that for, with no legs?" The defendant said he was to give a bill at twelve months' date for 1,1001. for the horse, and I said ho must be mad to give so much money for a horse when he was good for nothing and had no legs. Mr. Clark replied, that he was warranted sound, and I said his legs looked very suspicious, and his joints were much enlarged. Mr. Kennedy then said, " Doc - keray, the horse is sound, and I warrant him sound." A bill of exchange for 1,1001. was shortly afterwards given to me for Mr. Kennedy, but I could not find him to give it him, and on the following Sunday, July 11, I fetched the horse away from John Scott's stables. I have had him ever since, and I would no: give 5001. for him. I wish he was out of my stable. He was beaten by a very bad horse at Hampton, and if he could not win such a thing as that he was no good at all as a race horse. Mr. J. Scott said, I am a trainer of race horses, and Sir Tatton was at my stable in Juue. At that time he belonged to the plaintiff. I saw Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Clark on the Bth June at Ascot, and the former said he had sold the horse to Mr. Clark for 1,1001. upon his bill. On the following Sunday Dockoray came and fetched the horse away. I have told Mr. Kennedy that the horse was quite useless to him in his racing stud, but that he might get a thousand pounds for him as a stud horse. Foreigners would sometimes give large sums for such horses, but the foreign trade was now quite stopped, and there was no demand for horses to go abroad. Sergeant SHEE then replied, and urged that the de fence which had been set up was not only inconsistent in itself but inconsistent with justice. It was purely fictional. The defendant did not deny that he had the horse, and he asked the jury whether it was likely that a valuable animal should be given up in the manner re presented. The letter of the plaintiff that had been pro duced, however, showed clearly that he never intended to give up the horse until he received the 8501., and the defendant himself' admitted that he would be called upon to pay that sum. At present, however, the plaintiff had neither horse, bill, nor money, and it appeared to be the object of the defendant to keep the horse, and to use it as his own, and to evade, if ho could, paying for it. The CHIEF BARON, in summing up, said it appeared to him that the only question for the jury was, whether the plaintiff consented to the removal of his horse or not. He did not think there was any ground for imputing any fraudulent intention to the defendant in removing the horse, but if he did so under a mistaken impression as to the effect of the arrangement between him and the plaintiff, the latter would be entitled to recover in this action. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 850/. NORTHERN CIRCUIT. —Liverpool, Au g . 18. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice CRESWELL.) The following prisoners, tried yesterday for offences relating t o co i n, were this morning sentenced:— Mary Mitchell and Alice Rourke to be transported for seven years. John Holden, the elder, to be imprisoned, with hard labour, eighteon months. --- '.p. Joseph Mills, Joseph Robinson, Thomas Collett, and Margaret Collett, respectively to be imprisoned, with hard labour, twelve months. James Stones, aged 19, pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter. He was driving a horse and cart, near Oldham, in April last, when the child, Charles Ellam, ran out of the house into the road, and the prisoner being a few yards behind the cart, the child was knocked down, and run over and killed. The prisoner now re ceived an excellent character from his toaster, and having been in prison from the Ist of May, his Lord ship sentenced him to be imprisoned three days. Anthony Carroll, aged 21, was indicted for stabbing and wounding John Fitzpatrick, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm, at Aughtore on the sth of May hist. The prosecutor and prisoner were Irishmen, working on the railway, where an altercation took place, and the prisoner took up a pickaxe, and struck the prosecutor on the back, and inflicted a wound an inch and a halt deep below the shoulder, penetrating to a rib, which stopped its penetrating the lungs. On his way to the station house, the prisoner said, Curly never would let him alone, and he would cut him or any other man to pieties that attempted to curve (tyrannize) over him, if trans ported next minute. A pick was shown him, and he said that was it ; he was going to strike with the flat side, and it turned in his hand, and the point entered prisoner's back about two inches. The Jury seemed to think that was probably so, and therefore found him guilty of an assault only. Sentence deterred. John Finneran, aged 35, was indicted for having, Ott Much Woolton, near this town, feloniously stabbbd Daniel Conner, on the 12th of July last. On that day they'and others, all Irishmen, had been at work for a farmer, carrying hay. The prosecutor had been on the rick, and the prisoner on the waggon, throwing up the hay, and the prosecutor had suffered the hay to fall back several times, which irritated the prisoner, and he threatened to go up and kick the pro secutor. Soon after they left work, and on their way to Liverpool, the prisoner told the prosecutor he was ready for him, and after some words he went and knocked the prosecutor down, who got up and knocked the prisoner down. He got up again and they closed, and both went down and struggled together for some time, when the prosecutor felt he was stabbed in the side, and became faint, and declared he would not fight any more, on which some of their fellows parted them. The prosecutor bled a good deal, and was obliged to be supported home by two men and put to bed, to which he was confined for a week, and was unable to work for more than a fortnight. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of the whole charge.—Sentence deferred. Jacob Stopherd, a stout hale man, who could not read, aged 31, was indicted for two burglaries in two adjoin ing dwelling-houses of Jno. and Wm. Wolfendem, and stealing therein various articles of clothing and food, on the night of the 7th of April last. Wm. Wolfendem said, that he was awoke by his wife about five o'clock on the morning of the Bth. He lis tened awhile, then got up and looked out of the window, and saw a man running away with a bundle. H e ra n out and after him. He was afterwards taken into custody, and the only question was the identity of the prisoner. The jury found him Guilty on the Ist indictment, so the 2d was not proceeded with. Sentence deferred. James Rooney, Edward Johnson, and Eve Tattersall, were indicted for a robbery, with violence, from the person of George Williams, at Manchester, on the 6th of July last. Mr. WHEELER appeared for the prosecution, and stated the case, and called witnesses, who proved as follows:—On the night in question the man Williams was on his way home about half-past ten o'clock, and that when in Dale-street, in Manchester, he saw two men and a woman, the prisoner:, standing together under a lamp. They followed him, and one of them (Johnson) struck him a violent blow, which caused him to stagger, but he did not fall. A second blow knocked him down, he falling on his back. The blow was struck by Johnson, who then knelt upon him, and held his hand on his mouth. The other man, Rooney, kept kicking him whilst he was down, and the third prisoner, the woman, rifled his pockets of the produce of his day's sale, two sovereigns and some silver. The prisoners were all convicted, and severally sen tenced to be transported for ten years. Benjamin Hill was indicted for a highway robbery at Todmorden. „Mr. Monk and Mr. Eastwood were for the prosecution. On Easter Monday, the 24th of April last, the prose cutor, John Fielden, had been drinking with the pri soner, and had paid for beer for prisoner. At midnight they both started to their respective homes. Before, however, the prosecutor had gone far, the prisoner came up to him and put his hand into prosecutor's waistcoat pocket where he had his money, amounting to 1/. 15s. The prisoner took the whole of it and then went away. The prisoner was apprehended on the following Friday, when it appeared that he had spent, in eating and drinking, almost the whole of what he had feloniously acquired. There was also a previous conviction for felony proved against theprisoner, whereby it appeared that he had only been discharged from prison about a fortnight be fore the present robbery. The jury found him Guilty, and the Court sentenced him to be transported for the term of seven years. CIVIL COURT. COPE v. THAMES HAVEN DOCK RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action to recover the sum of 1451. for services alleged to have been rendered at the latter end of 1846, in negotiations to lease the defendant's line and to get the share list filled up. Mr. Knowles and Mr. Monk appeared for the plain tiff; Mr. Martin and Mr. Apsland for the company. In support of the plaintiff's case, a witness was called, who stated that he, as agent of the company, had re tained the plaintiff, as a joint agent with himself, to perform the services in question, and that his conduct had been afterwards approved and ratified by the com pany. The defendants alleged that the plaintiff had been ex pressly informed, at the first interview with the direc • tors, that he was not to look to the company for remu neration, and suggested that the way in which the plaintiff was to be paid was by a share of the profits to be derived from the issuing, of a large number of shares in the company, which had been allotted to one Smith, and in which Smith, the plaintiff, and the plaintiff's wit ness, had, before the plaintiff's agency began, acquired a joint interest. Mr. Justice ERLE left the case to the jury as to which set of witnesses was more entitled to credit, and after some consideration they found their verdict for the plaintiff; but reducing the claim to 1001., leave being re served to the defendants to move to enter a verdict for them on a certain point of law—that is, whether the de fendants, being a corporation, could be liable on any con tract not under their corporate seal. August 19. The Civil Court has been occupied the greater part of the day in deciding the quality of an iron pan made for a distiller, and the jury at length found a verdict for the price. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) James Winterbottom, aged 27, Stephen Naylor, 23, and William White, 32, all having no education, pleaded guilty to an indictment for felony, setting fire to the barn and outhouse of James Bothwell, at Pemberton, on the 12th of June last. The prosecutor was a farmer at Pemberton, near Wigan. On the night mentioned the prisoners had gone, it was supposed, to steal fowls, in which they were disappointed, and so went into the barn, and having lucifer matches with them, which they had bought the previous day, set it on fire. The whole contents were consumed, nothing but the walls left. His LORDSHIP sentenced them to be transported for 15 years. Mr. J. Pollock for the prosecution. Stephen Marsden, aged 2S, of no education, was in dicted for stealing 611. 10s, .in the dwelling-house of Mary GrPenhalgh, at Darcy Lever, on the 4th of February last. _ _ Three of the prisoner's accomplices were convicted of this robbery at the last assizes, and transported, ono for ten years, and the other two for seven years, and the case then reported; it will, therefore, be sufficient to state that Mrs. Greenhalgh, who keeps a public-house, had, on the above-named day, placed lour 101 . notes, two 51. notes, and eleven and a halt sovereigns, in a purse, and in a drawer in her bed-room, which she locked. On going into the house two walked first, then Johnson, and then the other two, and as they passed the stairs Johnson slipped up, broke open the drawer, and stole the money. lie afterwards produced three 101. notes, two 5/. notes, ten sovereigns, and a gold and a silver watch, all which they divided among them. It appeared Johnson must have got out of a bed-room window upon a kitchen, then into the garden, and so back to the front of the house. The prisoner was convicted, and his Lordship sen tenced him to be transported for seven years. Thomas Cain, an Irishman, aged 19, was cha rge d w i th manslaughter in killing Peter Meadow, at Wigan, i n June last. There was a row it appeared; the p r i soner and the de ceased fought, and the latter was knocked down. while on the ground the prisoner kicked him savagely several times, once on the left side of the head, and Meadow a n d , moved afterwards, neveron being examined, was found dead, with a severe wound on the head. The prisoner was convicted.--. Sentence deferred. John Taylor, aged 26, was indicted for burglary in the house of Edmund Pickup, at Tottington-higher-end, and stealing therein 20/. 125., two yards of woollen cloth, one waistcoat piece, and one trousers piece, on the 19th of June last. The prosecutor was a saddler, 'the prisoner a railway labourer, residing near. The prosecutor's family retired for the night about eleven o'clock, leaving the house pro perly secured, and in his trousers pocket in his bedroom was the money above stated. About three o'clock the following morning he heard a noise, got up, looked out of the window, and saw several persons in the road, one of whom, the toll-bar-keeper, called out that the window in the room below was open. He went down, and found that the window had been broken, and thrown up.; His trousers were on the floor in the room below, but the money, purse, and a pocket-knife had been taken away. Out of his waistcoat pocket a pocket-book was taken, and some papers scattered on the flour, but two 5/. notes had escaped the observation of the thief. Eight yards of shirting, &c., were also stolen. Before the Magistrates the prisoner said he would tell how he came. b y t h e sh i rt i ng. Between B urn l ey and 4 .

(Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.) IN RE JULLIEN. Mr. Commisioner FANE gave judgment as follows : I have carefully considered the suggestion that I should grant Monsieur Jullien his certificate on condition of his setting apart a portion of the results of his future ex ertions towards the discharge of his present debts, but I shall not adept it. I have long thought that the Bank rupt Act was over harsh towards the unfortunate debtor, and absurdly lenient towards the dishonest one. The proper mode of dealing with the dishonest debtor, who has not accounted for his property, would be to with hold his certificate, restore each of his creditors to his original rights, and by subjecting all property found in the possession of uncertificated bankrupts to the law of reputed ownership, enabling each creditor to seize it as be could find it. Such a law would prevent conceal ments by effectually thwarting their object, which is future undisputed enjoyment. But though such may be the proper mode of dealing with the dishonest debtor, the proper mode of dealing with the honest bankrupt who bas delivered up everything, is to make him a new man, to enable him to re•enter the world of industry totally unshackled. If he has no property, he should, at all events, have no burdens. A contrary course is, in my opinion, equally unjust and impolitic; impolitic, be cause its probable effect must be to check future exertion, and thus to defeat its own object. It is difficult enough to get on in the struggles of life without capital, and with the discredit of former failure; I will not add to that difficulty the burden of old debts in a case like the present, where there is not the least reason for thinking there is any property concealed. True it is that Mons. Jullien produces nothing for his creditors; but why is this? Because the principle of the law is, that the cre ditors of an insolvent may scramble for his property, and the fortunate scramblers in this case were an attorney and a sheriff's officer, who between them have divided property worth nearly 5,0001. I hope that M. Jullien's future career may be more fortunate, and if he should hereafter be enabled to do anything fur his present cre ditors, and be should, in accordance with the honourable sentiments he has expressed, make any payments to them, I shall be happy to hear of it; but it shall be the result of a moral, not a legal obligation. He shall have the credit of having done voluntarily what the law would not compel him to do. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. In the course of the afternoon, IVillican Cuffey, of consi derable notoriety as a Chartist delegate and leader, and who described himself as a tailor, living at 11, Holies-street, War dour-street, was brought up on a warrant and placed before Dlr. Henry, charged with attending the meetings of the dele gates at the Lord Denman beer-shop, and taking part in the conspiracy to disturb the public peace, and commit certain outrages upon the metropolis. The appearance of the prisoner has been already described in our columns. He is extremely short, and has the face of a mulatto. Mr. Clarkson said he wished to have the prisoner re manded till the day fixed for the further examination of the other prisoners. Thomas Powell examined—l know the 'prisoner at the bar, and saw him at a mee ti ng o f Ch art i st d e l egate S at the Lord Denman beer-shop in Suffolk-street, on Tuesday even ing last. He was there when the proposition was made respecting the retirement of the deputation to arrange the course of proceeding by the organized Chartists, and also when Mullins, the chairman, stated that they must come armed, and that there must be no flinching. (The evidence given by the witness on Friday was here repeated. It re ferred to the appointment of the Chartist leaders.) Cuffey said to the chairman, " Make haste, because all my men are ready and waiting, and you know I take the western divi sion." Cuffey was also present at a meeting on the previous Monday evening, at the Orange Tree, in Orange-street, where he received one of the tri-coloured ribbons distributed by Brewster among the Chartist delegates. I omitted to state that at the meeting on Tuesday, held at the Lord Denman, and in the presence of the prisoner, some one called upon the chairman to propose a " pass-word" for those who were going to join Ritchie. The chairman called upon one of the delegates to propose one, upon which a person in the meeting suggested that it should be " Frost" or " Mit chel." Another delegate then rose and moved as an amend ment, that the pass-word should be " Justice." The amend ment was put and carried, it being arranged that when they applied to be admitted Ritchie should say to every man, " What do you want ?" and every one who did not reply, " Justice," was to be refused admission at the Orange Tree. Sergeant Thompson said that he apprehended Cuffey at his lodgings, on the third floor back, in Holles-street. He was in the room with his wife. An officer, who accompanied him, began searching the place, while witness explained the nature of the charge. The prisoner said, "Oh, I know all about it; I'm a Chartist ;" but seemed disposed to offer some resistance. Witness saw the prisoner opening a drawer, and fumbling for something inside of it, and presently he took out a small pistol. Witness immediately attempted to take it from him, and a scuffle ensued, during which the prisoner dropped the pistol on the floor in endeavouring to pass it to his wife. Witness took it up, and it was loaded with a bullet, and primed. (Thompson here unloaded the pistol in Court.) The blue flag produced, bearing the inscription" Westminster district," was taken from the room, but nothing else material was found there. The prisoner —That is the flag we had in the procession at Hertford, on the purchase of the first piece of land by the National Land Company. The place was called Har risgate, but has been since called O'Connorford, in honour to Feargus O'Connor. We also had the flag in Kennington common on the 10th of April, and at other Chartist pro cessions. This statement was added to the depositions. The prisoner said he had no questions to put. The wit nesses would make the most of it no doubt. He resisted the officer because he did not show his warrant. Mr. HENRY, after telling the prisoner that he might be taken without a warrant, the charge being one of felony, remanded him to the 31st inst. The prisoner, on leaving the Court, wished the gentlemen " Good day," and assumed the utmost indifference. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY. DIVIDENDS. At the Court, Basinghall-street. C. S.
