FRANCE. It appears from the weekly account published by the Bank of France, that its stock of bullion has in creased within the week by 7,000,000 f. (280,000/.), whilst its notes in circulation have diminished to nearly an equal amount. The amount of the com mercial bills under protest has decreased by about 1,000,000 f. (40,0001.) And the balance to the credit of the Treasury has decreased by a sum of 3,000,000 f., or 120,000/. ROME. The following is the Pontifical edict which has restored tranquillity to the Romans : " The agitation which has seized upon the public mind in consequence of the different events which are taking place require us to make every effort to restore confidence, and with confidence calmness. The Mi nistry, which had for a long time past tendered its re signation, has this day requested to be allowed finally to withdraw. As things could not remain in this position, we have summoned to Rome Count Edward Fabbri, Pro- Legate of 'Urbino and Pesaro, who btu already arrived, and wbo will take office in the new Ministerial arrange meat. These cares on our part ought to awake confidence in the minds of all good people, which will be still further strengthened by the measures which the Government itself shall think fit to adopt. Meanwhile some complain that we have not made provision in consequence of the events which have occurred in the Ferrarese, and these complaints are uttered, although we lost no time in making known our sentiments, which were published 'by our Cardinal Secretary of State, and have been also repeated in. Vienna. We have also said, and we repeat, that it is our will that the confines of our State be de fended, and fur this purpose we had authorised our late Ministry to make suitabla arrangements. " For the rest it is but too true, that in all times and under all governments extreme dangers are put to profit by the enemies of order and public tranquillity to disturb the minds and hearts of their fellow-citizens, whom we have always desired, and desire particularly at the present time, to see united and at peace with one another. Almighty God, however, guards and watches over Italy, over the States of the Church, and commits the immediate keeping of it to the Great Pro tectress of Rome, Mary, ever blessed, and to the Princes of the Apostles ; and although more than one sacrilege has desolated the sapitul of the Catholic world, still our confidence does not tail, that the prayers of the Church will rise before God, and bring down blessings to confirm the good, and to recal His enemies to justice and honour. " G:ven at Rome, at St. Mary Major's, under the ring of the Fisherman, Aug. 2, ISIS, the third year of our Pun ti ficate. "PIUS, P.P. IX." CIIOI,EItA. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. A lecture was on Saturday delivered in the theatre of the Royal Polytechnic Institution, by the gentleman who has recently attracted a large share of the public attention by his investigations into the phenomena of thunder-clouds and the cause of lightning. The subject which elicited the scientific knowledge of Mr. Isham Baggs was one which recent occur recces have invested with an enthralling interest — we mean the devastating epidemic called the Asiatic cholera. A more absorbing theme could not by any possibility have been selected, and that theme could scarcely by any possibility have been treated in a man ner more daring or admirable. We say admirable in a twofold sense, admirable for the nervous energy of the lecturer, and admirable in a particular manner for the profound and philosophic sobriety which imparted weight to his many startling and extraordinary propositions. It would be impossible, however, to estimate properly tho general effect produced by the lecture just delivered in the Polytechnic Institution, without considering for a moment the position of events under which it was introduced, and the thrilling sound of the tidings which had already announced the ap proach of this dread visitatior. Last year the antici pated arrival of the Asiatic cholera, or the cholera morbus, as it is called by physicians, was spoken of fir a considerable time. The circumstance cannot be forgotten. Since then the winter of 1847-1848 has elapsed, and as yet no cholera has made its appearance. Time has flitted past, it is true, but the mysterious dis ease is nevertheless striding towards us rapidly. It has emerged from the pestilential swamps of central Asia, it, has passed the frontiers of Persia, it has moved over the • vast plains of Russia, it has progressed from Novgorod to Moscow, northwards to St. petersburgh, southwards to Ode ssa , it i s ravag i ng th e cities of Gallicia and the crowded porta of Egypt; it has spread from the remote tributaries of the Ganges and the Vistula, to the mouths and stag nant places of the Nile. In all the more western kingdoms of Europe, with scarcely another exception beyond Belgium, the Government officers are snaking preparations for the mitigation of the severity of the scourge. Even in England this movement is per ceptible, not only in the metropolis itself, but in se veral of our remote municipalities. At such a period, therefore, it becomes a matter of pe culiar importance to hear a theorem adduced of such an extraordinary character as the one propounded on Saturday by Mr. Bans. His theorem is nothing less than that tl , e cholera is produced by the peculiar condition of the atmosphere when charged with a superabundance of magnetic electricity. Nothing could be more cogent than the reasoning of the lecturer, illustrated as his deductions were by experiment, eluci dated by the graceful and comprehensive fluency of his delivery, and enforced by a multitude of arguments drawn from the storehouse of natural philosophy. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—To relieve the public mind from the anxiety which has been expressed on the subject of the late strike of the engine-drivers and firemen on this line, I am instructed to state that the directors have taken effectual measures to provide for the safe working of the trains whatever may be the course of proceeding of these misguided men. Many of them have withdrawn their notices, and others may be expected to follow the example. A sufficient number of new and practised enginensen, with unexceptionable testimonials from their former em ployers, have been taken into the service, and employed in working the trains during the last week. In addition to these resources, a number of men scientifically as well as practically conversant with the construction and management of the locomotive, have been supplied by the Gov e r nm ent d e part men t s . Notwithstanding, therefore, all that may have been said to the contrary, the Directors are enabled to repeat, with perfect confidence, that the trains will continue to be worked with perfect safety to the public. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, R. CREED, Secretary. Office, Euston -station, August 12, 1848. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. rORTSMOUTH,FRIDAY.—THE LATE CAPTAIN MAR• RYAT, C.B.—This celebrated nautical novelist's services in the navy are thus recorded by Allen, in the New Navy List :—" Midshipman of the Imperieuse, in co-operation with the Patriots, on the coast of Catalonia, under Lord Cochraae; served in the attack on the French fleet in Aix Roads, and in the Walcheren expedition in 1809; Lieutenant of the Newcastle, and in her barge cut out four vessels from Boston Bay, 1814; commanded the Larne in the Burmese war, being part of the time senior oaser. Gazette(' 1808." By his death a good service pension falls into the gift of the Admirelt,y. The Lightning steam-vessel embarked the Cabinet Ministers from Gosport this morning, at eleven o'clock, and conveyed them to Cowes, being called by her Ma jesty to a Council at Osborne. The Fairy, royal yacht, Commander Crispin, em barked the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Hohen lohe from the Clarence-yatd at a quarter to three o'clock this afternoon, under the usual ceremonies, and con veyed them to Cowes, where the Duchess of Kent has taken a residence for a short period. The Princess Ho henlohe, we believe, will be her Royal Highness's guest. The Dauntless, screw steam-frigate, of 1,496 tons and 580 horse-power, arrived from Glasgow to-day. She sailed from this port on the 27th of February, 1847, and has, consequently, been absent nearly 18 months. She is intended to carry either 22 or 24 heavy guns. Her speed is said to be very unsatisfactory, never exceeding 74 knots. On the measured mile in Stokes bay, on which she was tried this morning before coming into harbour, it was respectively, 7 mm. 40 sec. with the tide. and 10 min. 4 sec. against it. This gives an average of 9 minutes to the mile, or 6 2 3 knots per hour. The weather on this occasion was par ticularly favourable, being nearly a dead calm. She has on board about 500 tons of iron ballast to bring her to her supposed sea bearings, with guns and stores on board. Her draught of water, on coming into the harbour, was 17 feet 2 inches aft and 15 feet 1 inch forward, but it is said to have been nearly an even keel on leaving Glasgow, the difference being occasioned by the expenditure of coal and water. It is understood considerable alterations will bo made in her before she is finally commissioned; among other things, that the step of her mainmast will be moved for ward G feet. Her main fault appears to be her enor mons counters, which squat down in the water and im pede her movements, while they diminish the force of her screw and make her steer badly.

The Acorn, 16 guns, Commander John E. Bingha m , was paid off into ordinary on the Bth instant. Ord ers have since been received to bring this vessel forward for sea again as soon as possible. The Iris, 26 guns, a new ship launched at Pembroke, is ordered to be brought forward for service immediately. The Spy, 3 gun brigantine, was commissioned on the oth instant., by Lieutenant and Commander George Western. This vessel is to be got ready to take out the September mail to the coast of Africa. THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF FOR THE CAPE.—Rear- THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 14, 1848. Admiral Reynolds, C. 8., the newly-appointed flag officer to the Cape Station, has visited the Admiralty during the past week and had interviews with their Lordships. Orders have gone out to Vice-Admiral Dacres to return to Simon's Bay from the Mauritius. It is expected that the Southampton will leave England about the first week in September, and that she will arrive at the Cape by about the middle of October, by which time Vice-Admiral Dacres will be there to trans fer the command-in-chief to his successor, and will then return to Spithead, and his flag-ship the President, 50, Captain Stanley, will be paid off at Portsmouth. It is expected that the Southampton will be manned in a fortnight.—United Service Gazelle. Admiral Sir Thomas Bladen Capel, E.C.8., will suc ceed Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., as Commander in-Chief at Portsmouth, next month. Captain Charles Eden will be the flag captain, and Mr. Kent secretary.— Ibid. COXING TO THE " SCRATCH."—In consequence of the officers of the Southampton, 50, Captain N. Cory, fitting at Chatham as the flag-ship for the Cape, not having joined so promptly as the Admiralty desired, their Lord. ships sent down orders on Monday that they were to be informed that the appointment would be cancelled if they were not on board the ship on the 10th instant. Lieutenant Place and D'Arcy Preston, the Rev. Mr. Proctor, the chaplain, took up their commissions at Chatham on the 10th. We understand that Commander Houston Stewart will not be appointed to the Southamp ton.—lbid. THE MEDITERRANEAN SQUADRON. CASTELLAMARE, NAPLES, AUG 3. On Saturday, the 29th ult., the squadron, consisting of the Hibernia, 104, flsg ship of Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, Commander in-Chief; the Howe, 120; Queen, 110; Rodney, 92; Superb, 80; Vanguard, 80; Ven geance, 84; Thetis, 36; and the Bulldog and Hecate steamers, anchored off Naples between 5.30 and 8.30 P.M., much to the astonishment of the inhabitants, and particularly soof the King. Prior to the fleet anchoring the Thetis rind Bulldog had communicated with the Ad miral from Naples. The squadron left Palermo, on Sunday, the 23d of July, at daylight, in company with the French line-of battle ships Jupiter and Jena. At two P.M. the Howe, 120, joined company, eight days from Malta; had a trial of sailing, close hauled, for a taw hours, wind very light. The French ships forereached considerably, but the Queen, Superb, and Vangard clawed to windward very perceptibly. The French ships were light, having very little provisions on board. On the 26th, after saluting Sir W. Parker with fifteen guns each, they stood back to Palermo, whence report sent them to Sardinia for a supply of provisions. On Monday, the 31st, being the birthday of the Qaeen of Naples, the squadron dressed ship and fired 21 guns each. A court was held at the palace, which the admiral and captains attended. The Neapolitan steamers, in number about 19, anchored outside the mole, as aim% did two French war-steamers and the Dutch steamer-of-war Porcupine. On Tuesday, at eleven ♦.M., the squadron, with the exception of the Bulldog, weighed with the sea-breeze, and proceeded to the anchorage off Castellamare, where by four P.M. the whole were anchored in line, north and scuth nearly of each other. Yesterday there was a double-banked 60-gun frigate launched from the Royal Dockyard here. She appeared to be of about 1,300 tons. Admiral Parker and suite and several other officers were present. The squadron coming in at this time is quite a fortune to the Neapo litans, the seamen having just been paid advance and the officers having just got their bills cashed, so that some thousands of pounds will be in circulation ashore. It is said there are upwards of ICO bullocks killed daily to supply the squadron. To-day a court martial assembled 9n board the Queen to by Lieutenants Bedingfield and Hamilton, of the Hecate steam sloop on charges preferred by the Com mander (Moorman) of that vessel. The court assembled at the usual hour (9 A.m.), and adjourned at 6 P.M. A French war-steamer arrived this morning from Palermo, which the French squadron had left for Cag lionea Bay; prior to the steamer leaving Palermo a false report had got abroad'of 20,000,Neapolitan troops making good their landing at Syracuse, where the Sicilians in the neighbourhood rose en masse, and every one that had a musket marched to meet the supposed enemy. News arrived this morning that the Austrians had defeated the Italians at Rivoli. The Admiral and squadron remain here until after the court-martial, after which he, with two or three other ships will go to Naples, leaving the other portion of the squadron here. Further movements are at present un known, but it is not expected the fleet will return to Malta before October. The court-martial on the officers of the Hecate ap pears likely to last five or six days. The French Ad miral Baudin is at present at Jachia, taking the benefit of the baths ; he had been laid up for some time with disease of the knee. Everything appears quiet and peaceable here ; there aro numbers of English families here and at Serrante. The Sidon steamer frigate is ex pected hourly from Malta with dispatches. There ap pears no likelihood of the Rodney or Superb leaving the squadron for England for some tune. PORTSMOUTH, AUGUST 13.—We have much pleasure in announcing the promotion of Commander William Radcliffe, late of the Apollo troop ship, to the rank of captain. This is a most just act of the First Lord's. No promotion ho has made since in office has reflected more credit upon him. Commander Radcliffe entered the service in June, 1809, served all the war, was pro moted lieutenant in 1816, for his services in Algiers ; was promoted to commander in 1830 ; since which time, until his obtaining the command of the Apollo, he was unemployed. His meritorious services were given fully about twelve months since, when Commander Clifford was promoted. Commander Francis Scott, 1841, is also promoted to the rank of captain. Be shows no services in the New Navy List. Lieutenants C. J. F. Ewart (1841) and J. A. St. Leger (1841) are promoted to the rank of commander. The latter was mate of the Blenheim in 1841, at the taking of Amoy and Chinghae. The list gives no ser vices of the former. PRICES OF SHARES IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK.

(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLA.NQUE.) IN RE J. E. JONES. The bankrupt, an engineer, sculptor, and patent lamp manufacturer, of Upper Charlotte-street, came up to pass :his adjourned last examination, the case having been previously adjourned sine die, on the ground that the accounts were not satisfactory, and their truth not sufficiently vouched. He came up at his own expense. It appeared by the official assignee's report, that the balance-sheet commenced in 1838, when the bankrupt was insolvent,,and he now owed 5,9521., to meet which the assets were:—Cash at the bankers, 71; a debt due by the executers of Dwarkanauth Tagore, Calcutta, said to be good, 2001; a debt due by the King of Holland, 1501; a debt due by Sir J. S. Lillie, for the Bude light, considered doubtful, 8711.; and other doubtful debts. The property in the hands of creditors, con sists of plate and the King of the French's medal. The profits were 4,9521., including a small profit on the purchase and sale of railway shares, be- sides which, he had been presented with a gold medal by the King of the French, and plate by friends in Dublin. The expenses were 5,944/., exclusive of losses, to the extent of 3,0121, including the loss on the publication of the O'Connell medal and the O'Connell bust. Amongst the creditors were the Britannia Insurance Company and the National Loan Society. The bankrupt disputed his _ . liability of 2051. on account of the Belfast and County Down Railway Company, and included, amongst his debtors, Brown's Patent Pavement Company, and the Highgate Inclined Plane Company. He had alio mo delled the busts of several distinguished personages. Mr. Lawrence appeared for the bankrupt, and Mr. Depree for certain creditors, who prayed that the case be further adjourned, on the ground that the accounts were still unsatisfactory and unvouched. His Hosi)uß thought no good could result from an adjournment, and allowed the bankrupt to pass. he was in custody, he was heard to call out to the other men, who were in a separate cell, and ask them not to say anything about what they saw in the lime-kiln, and promised them half-a-crown if they (lid what he desired. The prisoner subsequently expressed great contrition for what he had done, and said that now his mother was dead, he would destroy himself the first orportunity that presented itself. Mr. ROBINSON addressed the jury at considerable length for the prisoner, and urged that the act had been committed in a moment of excitement, and that the of fence did not amount, at all events, to the crime of murder. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, the jury, after a very short deliberation, found the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter.—Sentence was deferred. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Devizes, August 12. The commission for the assizes in this place was opened this day by Mr. Justice Coleridge, who addressed the jury at some length. The calendar is more than usually heavy. Among the cases to be tried is that of the policeman of the Great Western Railway Company, who was on duty at the time of the late accident at Shrivenharn. The policeman is indicted on the charge of manslaughter, it being al leged that to his negligence was to be ascribed the acci dent which terminated in the death of a number of indi viduals. Two of the other servants of the company were, it will be remembered, tried on a similar charge at Abingdon, but acquitted. They are also to be tried again. The trials have been fixed to take place in this term, as one of the sufferers from the accident died in Wilts, while the others died in Berkshire. Another case is that of a medical practitioner in a village in Wilts, who is charged with manslaughter in consequence of having, it is alleged, administered medicines impro perly to a woman, and which medicines, it is said, caused her death. There is a third charge of manslaughter against three young men, of the respective ages of 18, 19, and 20, in connexion with the death of a man some what advanced in years. Another case which excites interest in the district, is that of a man charged with stealing 128 sheep. None of the important cases have come on to-day, the Court preferring to take the least important cases set down for trial first. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, Aug. 12. Henry Desbury, a foreigner, and described as a pro fessor of languages, was indicted for violently and felo niously assaulting his wife, Maria Margaret Desbury, at Ch el tenh am. In another count he was charged with intent to murder and do grievous bodily harm. Mr. Pigott and Mr. Skinner prosecuted. The prisoner undertook Ms own defence The case created more than ordinary interest, probably owing to the many interesting facts connected with prisoner's life. He said that he was originally a lieutenant in the Dutch Royal Navy, but being in Paris on leave in 1830, he took a part in the attack on the Tuilleries, had his left arm shot off, and received various other injuries. He left the Dutch service in conse quence, and soon after had equal rank conferred upon him by Louis Philippe, besides the cross of the Legion of Honour. The facts adduced in support of the prosecu tion were briefly these:— In the month of last June ho left London for Cheltenham, and in the latter place established him self as a teacher of languages. His wife, to whom he was married in January, was left in the metro polis, and she believing that he was cohabiting with another woman, proceeded to Cheltenham. She went to a house in St. Phillip's-terrace, and demanded to see her husband (Desbury) of the woman who opened the door. The woman refused, but at length gave way, and the wife rushed up stairs. When she had got within three steps of the top, the prisoner ran out of a bed room and struck her on the head with great violence with an earthenware vessel. She fell to the ground in sensible, blood flowing from the wounds. A medical gentleman described the fearful character of her injuries, and it was only after the lapse of several weeks, that she was deemed out of danger. On his way to the station house, the prisoner said she was not his wife, but on the marriage certificate being exhibited, he admitted such was the fact. The prisoner on being asked for his de fence, proceeded to address the Court in rather an ener getic style. He said, in broken English, " I have been told that it is my privilege, as a foreigner, to be tried by a jury composed of half Anglois and half foreigners. But, gentlemen, were the choice offered to me, I would contemn—l would despise it, and would choose a jury composed entirely of true Britons." He then alluded to the jealousy of his wife. He had no evil intention. He loved her dearly, and would rather die, than endanger her life. The jury fund him guilty of an assault, with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Mr. Baron PLATT then sentenced him to twelve months' imprisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE MANSION-HOUSE. Thomas Smith was charged with having represented himself to be the keeper of a lunatic asylum, under rather curious circumstances. A Mr. Booth stated, that as he was walking along the street ho saw a person, who had a situation in the Custom-house, at the door of a public-house, and stopped to ask him how he did. They had scarcely inter changed civilities, when the defendant started forward, and seizing the Custom-house officer, said to the wit ness, " I am his keeper," Knowing that the Custom house officer was not mad, and believing him not to be a thief, Mr. Booth asked why he was in custody ? "Because," replied the defendant, "he is a lunatic ; and I, as the keeper of a lunatic asylum, have him under my protection, and I shall and will take care of him." It happened that Mr. Booth knew very well that the defendant, who looked more like a coalheaver than one of the class to which he pretended to belong, was not a mad-house keeper, and also that the day on which ho came in collision with that individual was pay-day at the Custom-house, when certain moneys, which ought to be applied to the support of a family, were likely to be in danger. Under these cir cumstances, and suspecting that the defendant was en deavouring to make a victim, it was considered necessary to ask for proof of his alleged occupation, sad no satis factory-answer having been given, the interference of the police was required, and the matter submitted to the Lord Mayor. The defendant—My reply is, my Lord, that I am the keeper of this gentleman. The LORD MAYOR—Upon what authority? The defendant—Upon his own. He engaged me re gularly to take care of him, and I think it was necessary, to protect him from some people I could name. The complainant—He said he was the keeper of a lu natic asylum, and in that character he had the care of my acquaintance. I wish him to produce his proof that he is in that capacity. The defendant—My patient is present, and he can tell you fast enough that he engaged me to look after him. Here the patient walked up to the witness-box, and said, with a melancholy countenance, "It is true, I did engage him, and I shall pay him for the job." Defendant—l am an engineer, and I was going off to my Work when he stopped me, and told me he'd pay me to look well after him. I am often employed by men to watch them, and prevent them from doing what they like; and I can tell your Lordship that a man as em ploys himself that way has his work to do (Laughter.) The patient—You're right, Bill; and I say, old fellow, do you take proper care of me, and you shan't want for nothing. The LORD ALLYOR—I shall take care of you until you are able to take care of yourself; and I'll take care of your keeper, too, until I hear a little more about his qualifications. The patient and his keeper were then deposited in dif ferent cells in the asylum under the care of the gaoler for two or three hours, when a favourable accOunt hav ing arrived of the character of each, they Were dis charged. _ _ _ MARLBOROUGH- STREET Jehn Heley, butler i❑ the service of Count d'Avigdor, diplomatic agent to the King of Sardinia, No. 11, Here ford-street, was charged with using insulting language to his master. He was also charged on suspicion of being concerned in a recent robbery of plate and jewellery, valued at between 2,0001. and 3,000/., the prc perty of the Count. From the evidence, which was principally conducted in French, it appeared that on the 19th July the Count d'Avigdor deposited in an iron box a quantity of plate and jewellery, worth upwards of 2,0001. At half-past four the same afternoon the Count had oocasion to go to the box in question, when he discovered that it had been broken open and the plate and jewellery stolen. The prisoner was immediately suspected, and a watch eas placed on his movements. Smith, a detective con stable, was employed to investigate the case, but he had been able to find nothing suspicious against the pri soner until Friday last. Charles Grellier, linguist, No. 21, Broad-street, Golden-square, was employed by the Count to trace out the thief. From information he received, he went to a tavern in Oxford-street, and found the prisoner standing at the bar with several convicted thieves. Witness watched them, and heard prisoner call for a pot of ale. Witness also heard the prisoner say to his com panions, " It's all right, I've just given the police the slip, and I'll now have a drink out of the produce of the robbery." A woman came up to the prisoner and said something to him. Ho told her to " cut," and as soon as he got clear be would follow. The woman left the house, and the prisoner went after her shortly after wards. Witness followed, but the prisoner finding he watched, ran down a court and witness lost sight of him. Witness afterwards found the prisoner at his master's house in custody. The Count d'Avigdor told him that, on the previous night, about seven o'clock, he required the attendance of the prisoner, but the prisoner could nowhere be found. On going into his bedroom the pri soner was found lying on the bed i❑ a complete state of intoxication. Witness woke him up, when the prisoner ap plied several insulting epithets to him, and made use of equivocal expressions, that he immediately suspected the prisoner had been concerned in robbing him of the plate and jewellery, and ho immediatelygave the prisoner into custody. The prisoner strongly denied the charge of robbery. Since the robbery had happened he had led a very mi serable life from the knowledge that he was watched by the police. Mr. HARD - mem said the evidence in support of the charge of robbery was not sufficiently strong to warrant him in detaining the prisoner in custody. He should, therefore, order him to be discharged. He should in flict a fine of se. The money was paid. POOR-LAW DISTRICT SCROOL.--Yesterday was issued, as amended by the Committee, the Bill to amend the law for the formation of districts for the education of infant poor. By the Bill, us it now stands, the limi tation in the area of the school district, and of the ex pense of the building in certain cases, as well as to the amount of the expense, to one-fifth of the ayerage ex penditure, aro rernoyed. J . r NATIONAL LAND COMPANY:' Last night (Sunday) at seven o'clock, a special infet ing of the shareholders of this company was held at:the South London Chartist Hall, Webber-street, Black-- friars road, for the purpose of taking into consideretion •' the proposition of Mr. Feargus O'Connor, M.P., in re ference to the recommendation of the Select Committee " of the House of Commo ns , a pp o i n t e d to i nvest i gate the , affairs and the legality of the National Land Company. The chair was taken by Mr. Roberts, who having stated' minutely the objects of the meeting, it was stated that the National L an d C ompany had been in existence three years and three mouths, and it was shown, by • calculaticns, that the amount to be paid upon the number of shares taken was 273,0001., while not more than 90,000/. had been paid. The committee had dis approved of their plan upon the ground of illegality. Mr. argus O'Connor's proposition was, to bring the land plan within the protection of the law, and to secure a safer and more s p ee d y wor ki ng ; firstly, by substituting location by bonus instead of by ballot, and that the occupant so located is to purchase the land and house, but that he is to pay, according to his will, a certain amount for being located without the hrdlot. Secondly, the raising of the price of shares from 2!. 12s. 4d., to 5/.; and from 31. les. to 71. 10s.; and • from 5/ 4s. to 101. Thirdly, the requiring of payment of the aid money in half-yearly instalments for three years' occupation. Fourthly, substituting an aid fund for the expense, one at the rate of 2d. per week, for two acre allotments, and so in proportion, fee. Some discussion arose upon the propositions, in which Messrs. Snell, Jones, and Brown took part, but no spo• cific decision was come to. It was contended by Mr. Snell, that by saving the working one might in Limo have the same chance of raising the necessary sum for the bonus, as those who were already prepared with the - eapital—(Hear, hear)—although it was the prevailing opinion that the poor labourer would be precluded these advantages. _ _ The accounts of the company during the last threo months were audited and stated to be correct. The CHAIRMAN then read a letter, dated the 31st ult., from an allottee at Snigs-end, Gloucestershire, !speaking satisfactorily of his speculation. A discussion then arose as to the propriety of con tinuing or dissolving the company, and at length it was agreed to adjourn the meeting for further consideration of .the subject. Adjourned accordingly. BRAZILIAN FRIGATE ALFONZO. This fine war-ship, which some months ago was launched from the building-yard of Mr. Thomas Royden, vvas (as stated at the time) constructed for the Emperor of the Brazils, and is intended for his Majesty's own use, to navigate the coasts, creeks, and rivers of that country, as well as for the purpose of defence is time of need. She is built of the choicest timber, and is cer tainly one of the strongest vessels ever turned out of this or any other port. She is about 900 tons burden, and though calculated to carry heavy metal and munition of war upon a light draught of. water, and is therefore full below, she has a fine appearance as she now lies in the Coburg-dock. She was constructed under the superin tendence of Admiral Grenfell, of the Brazilian service, who will, we presume, take the command. The vessel has flush decks of great strength, and on the upper or gun-deck carries two long 64 pounders, on carriages working on circles —one forward and the other aft; also, four 62-pounders in the waist, working through side ports. These are ponderous yet elegant pieces of artillery. There are also a number of small arms of various kinds. There is a largo armoury and gun-room between decks; and the ship is fitted up in every way as an efficient vessel of war. On Saturday, through the kindness of Mr. Bawden, who had superintended the erection of the engines, we were favoured with a view of these fine pieces of me chanism. They were built by Messrs. Benjamin Hicks and Son, of Bolton, and are, together, of 350-horse power, but will work more with perfect safety. They are on a new principle, and with direct action. All the beams and all the frame- work are of wrought iron, and the appearan ce o f t h e w h o l e (including the brass, &c.) is like a huge and beautiful specimen of the finest polished clock-work. Cast iron would be double the weight, and not so secure. The same builders con structed the engines of the Fury ; but they have here introduced many improvements. A variety of brass work is introduced, including motion-wheels to speed or to reverse the engine with great ease and alacrity. The diameter of each cylinder is sixty-eight inches, and the stroke of piston five feet. The immense cranks are also of wrought iron, and weigh each 18 cwt. They were bored, turned, and planed. A great deal of the usual cast-iron work is substituted by copper and brass, and the whole is exceedingly compact, highly finished, and beautifully bright. The condensing appa ratus is novel in principle. The air-pumps and the mode of admitting the injection water are also quite new. The same may be said of the gearings, especially the eccen trics, which are curious and beautiful. Compared with another vessel of 350-horse power, on the usual principle (where cast iron is employed), the saving will be at least torte-third in weight, and the security will be one-half more. This, with general compactness, will more than compensate for the additional cost, which is considerable. The boilers are on the flue principle, with fires at both ends. In the lower after engine-room there is a "donkey," of one-horse power, for pumping, &c. There is' also in another part a tank for the distilled water from the tubes or steam pipes. On the whole these are the finest and most compact engines of the alas: we have yet seen.—Liverpool Standard. - - ---- - RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, AUG. 12.

Wind S. W. Moderate breezes and thick hazy weather, with small rain. A serious accident occurred on Saturday afternoon, about four o'clock, on the London and North-Western Railway, to James Littlemoro, one of the stokers em ployed for some time on the line. It appears that as the train, which leaves Birmingham at 12 A.M., arrived near Watford station, the attention of the engine•driver was suddenly called by the cries of the stoker, who, as he was standing on the side of the engine attending to some part of the machinery, accidentally got his foot entangled in a hole in the splash-board (the train being in motion), which came in contact with the fly-wheel of the engine. By this means he sustained a severe compound commi nuted fracture of the bones of the leg and foot. As soon as the engine was stopped he was extricated from this perilous situation by the driver, and conveyed to London by the same train, when he was taken to University Col lege Hospital, where the limb was amputated by Mr. Morton, under the influence of chloroform.

CommrssioN OF LUNACY.— On Saturday a com mission de lunatic° inquirendo was opened at the Guild hall, High Wycombe, Bucks, before Mr. Commissioner Winslow and sixteen special jurors, relative to the state of mind of John Brand, Esq., a resident of that town. The commission was taken out by a sister of Mr. Brand. In its support appeared Mr. A. W. Hogging as counsel, and Mr. J. S. Hubbard, of Queen -street-place, as so licitor; and from the evidence adduced, it appeared that the unfortunate gentleman bad, for several years, been affected in his mind, but over since the period of Mr. B. Disraeli's unsuccessful contest for the representation of High Wycombe, had become ewbued with peculiar de lusions relatiivo to that gentleman, from whom he imagined all good and evil was to come, and also that he lived in that gentleman's house, and was supported by him. He also believed that his attendant was Mr. Disraeli; in fact, the name of Mr. Disraeli was con- stantly in his mouth, while from the timo of the election alluded to, he had occasionally indulged in a propensity for smashing his own windows, as well as those of several tradesmen in the town.

CHELTENHAM. This Committee entered upon its labours on Satur day; Sir W. Clay in the chair. Mr. Edwin James and Mr. Phinn appeared for Mr. Craven Berkeley, the sitting Member, and Mr. Russell Gurney, Q.C., and Mr. Me rewether for the petitioner, Mr. J. A. Gardner, the unsuccessful candidate at the late election. The petition alleges that the sitting Member was, by his agents, guilty of bribery and treating, not only at the last election, but at the previous elec tion in 1847. At that election Mr. Craven Berke. ley and Sir Willoughby Jones were the candidates, but Mr. Berkeley was unsuccessful. On a petition, however, Sir' Willoughby Jones was unseated, and at the late election Mr. Berkeley was opposed by the pre sent petitioner, Mr. Gardner, who proposed to prove acts of bribery committed by Mr. Berkeley's agents. Mr. E. JAMES, on behalf of the sitting Member, took a preliminary objection to the petitioner being allowed to go into evidence of treating or bribery committed at the election of 1847; but the Committee after hearing the arguments, pro and con., decided the petitioner had a right to give such evidence. The return and other formal evidence were then ad duced, and the Committee immediately afterwards, with out going into the merits of the case, adjourned till Monday. HORSHAM. .The Committee appointed to try the merits of the pe tition presented against the return of Mr. Fitzgerald for the , borough of Horsham, met for the firs t time on Saturday; Mr. Bramston in the chair. Mr. Sergeant Kinglake, with whom was Mr. Power, appeared for the petitioners, and Mr. M.D. Hill and Mr. Calvert for the sitting Member. At the election, in 1847, Mr. Fitzgerald was success fully opposed by Mr. Jervis, son of the Attorney-General, but, upon a petition, Mr. Jervis was unseated, and at the recent election Mr. Fitzgerald again put up, and suc ceeded in obtaining his return. The present petition, however, alleges that the return was obtained by bribery and treating, and also alleges that Mr. Fitz gerald was not only guilty of bribery and treating at the the last but at the previous election. Mr. M. D. firm. took the same objection in this caso that was taken in the Cheltenham Committee, but it was overruled by the Committee.—Adjourned. MONEY ORDERS.—Pallasgreen, in the county of Limerick, having been constitut ed a p ost town, the post-office there will be opened for the issue and pay ment of money orders, on and after the 13th of August. BRISTOL SUGAR••MARICET, AUGUST 11. About 300 hogsheads of West India hare found buyers this week at easier rates ; in other descriptions there is very little doing. Th e refined market continues firm— Bristol Mercury. IN RE IV. CLUNES. The bankrupt, a pawnbroker, of Brydges-street, Co ♦ent-garden, came up to pass his last examination. His debts amount to 19,0001., and the assets are stated to be to the extent of 10,0001. His profits were 14,7441., the expenses being— trade expenses, 6.5731. ; personal, 5,455/. ; and interest and discount, 7,3751. The balance sheet showed a total of 34,000/. No opposition was offered, and the bankrupt was de clared to have passed his last examination. IN RE JAMES HUDSON. The bankrupt was a boarding-house-keeper, at Lark hall-lane, Clapham, and came up to pass his last exa mination. His HONOUR said that the bankrupt commenced with a deficiency, and having incurred debts to the extent of 1,0001. in eighteen months, came to this cout t with no thing for his creditors. No books had been kept, nor a trade assignee chosen, and therefore the case must be adjourned sine die, with leave to apply again. Protection was granted. CERTIFICATES GRANTED. C. E. Coils, of High-street, Poplar, draper, was granted without opposition; as also those of C. L Ed wards, Great Sutton street, Cierkenwell, currier, and Henry Shaw, Southampton-row, Russell square, and Chelsea, china and glass dealer. The other cases laid before his Honour were of no public importance, and the Court rose shortly before four o'clock. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Guildford, Aug. 11. CIVIL SIDE.--(Before the Loun CHIEF BARON and a Common Jury.) ALLCOCK V. BUTT. Mr. Chambers and Mr. Pearson wire for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant C. Jones for the defendun*. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, as one of the sureties to a loan society, rail the %Vest Marylebone Loan Society, to recover from the defendant, as his co surety, a sum of 231. 175., being the balance of a sum which he alleged he had been improperly called upon to pay, and was entitled to be reimbursed by the de(endant. The circumstances of the case appeared to be of rather a peculiar character. It seemed that William Butt, the brother of the defendant, was desirous of borrowing a sum of 501. from the loan society in question, and the plaintiff consented to sign a promissory note for the amount, in conjunction with the present defendant, Edward Butt, the understanding being, according to the case for the plaintiff, that he was to be held perfectly harmless in the transaction, and that the defendant and his brother were to be the really responsible parties for the repayment of the money. The loan was paid off pretty regularly, but at length it appeared that there was an arrear of 10/. due upon it, with 21. for fines and about this time William Butt destroyed himself. Very soon after wards it appeared that the note was handed to a person named Israel, but under what circumstances did not precisely appear, except that it was suggested it was the intention of the parties to place it in the hands of an attorney, who was a friend, in order that he might sue in a superior Court, and obtain the extra costa, and very shortly afterwards an application was made to Mr. All. cock by an attorney named Humphries, in Feather stone-buildings, who represented that the promissory note was in the possession of a person named Elizabeth Shaw, who had given consideration for it, and who bad instructed him to sue for the whole amount. Mr. All cock consulted his attorney, Mr. Wellborn, upon this application, and he made inquiries; but finding that it would be very difficult to obtain evidence of fraud, he advised the plaintiff to come to terms with the parties, and he agreed to pay twenty-one pounds for the debt, and 71. 17s. 6d. for the costs, it appearing perfectly clear that at this time no more than 101. was actually due upon the note. It was alleged on behalf of the plaintiff that the whole of the 28/. 17s. 6d. was paid by him according to the arrangement, and upon application being made to the defendant to repay the money, it was stated that he at once, in the presence of Mr. Wellborn, ad mitted that the plaintiff had only put his name to the note at his request, to accommodate his brother, and that he ought not to be a loser, and he promised to pay the money on the sth of June, and it was stated that he did pay 51. on account, thus reducing the claim to the amount now sought to be recovered. The case on the part of the defendant was that Allcock being hiAself in needy circumstances, had several times :been concerned with William Butt in loan transactions, and that this was ono of a similar character, and that he was perfectly well aware that only 101. were due upon. the note, and that, consequently, it was not likely he should have paid 28/. 17s. It was also positively sworn that when the plaintiff's attorney was making application to the de fendant, that Allcock admitted only 101. were due, and it was arranged that the defendant should pay 5/., and that Allcock should also pay 51., and so settle the matter, and it was alleged that the 51. paid by the defendant was in pursuance of that agreement, and that he also told All cock that if he allowed any legal proceedings to take place, he must pay the costs himself. The CHIEF Bartow, in the course of the case, ex pressed an opinion that the plaintiff could not recover in this action the amount that he had paid over the sum actually due upon the note; but that was a question between him and the loan society, and the defendant would only be liable upon the sum actually due upon the promissory note. Mr. CHAMBERS, in replying upon the whole case, urged that all the circumstances of the case showed the version of the transaction given on the part of the plaintiff was a correct one, and that he was entitled to a verdict. The CHIFF BARON, in summing up, said it was quite clear that there was deliberate falsehood either upon one side or the other, and he was very glad it was for the jury to decide the question upon which side the truth lay. It was suite clear that there had been some very gross fraud practised with regard to the note in ques tion, and that the secretary to the Loan Society bad enabled that fraud to be committed by passing the note. The Learned Judge then went through the evidence, and said, after explaining why, in law, in his opinion, the larger amount could not be recovered, that if they be lieved the defendant's witnesses they must return first a verdict for the plaintiff for 11., because that amount, ac• cording to their own showing, would still be due; but if they thought the plaintiff had made out his case they would then find a verdict for 61. The jury immediately returned a verdict for the plain tiff, damages 61. Mr. CHAMBERS then applied to his Lordship for a cer tificate that the cause was a proper one to be tried in a superior Court. The Cntnir BARON said he did not think he ought to grant a certificate. The costs of actions in the supe rior Courts were so enormous, and the County Courts were so beneficial, that ho was always inclined to let the law take its course where less than 201. was in volved, unless some question of right was involved in the inquiry. The costs of this action would probably bo 1001. or 120/., and it might just as well have been tried in the County Court, where the costs would not have been more than 101. or 151. Mr. CHAMBERS reminded the Court that there was a question of law involved in the inquiry. The CHIEF BARON said at present he was not inclined to grant the certificate, but he would consider the matter during the assizes. CROWN COURT.—AUGUST 12. (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) Willinm Harris, aged 27 years, was indicted for the wilful murder of his mother, Jane Harris, by beating her and casting her upon the ground. Mr. P. Taylor prosecuted; Mr. Robinson was for the defence. This case occupied the Court the greater part of the d a y, but the principal facts of the charge lay in a very small compass. It appeared that the deceased was a dissolute old woman, who got her living by begging, and her son, the prisoner, also led an idle vagabond life, and that they frequently quarrelled and exchanged blows with each other. On the night of the 25th March they were at Guildford, and it seemed that they made their way to a lime-kiln in the neighbourhood, where they in tended to pass the night. The next morning the de ceased was found in a shed close to the lime-kiln, very much beaten and bruised, and covered with blood, and it appeared that the injuries she received were of such a nature as to cause her death very shortly afterwards. Hollington, the inspector of police at Guildford, imme diately instituted the necessary inquiries, and he ascer tained that the prisoner and three other men, named Bignall, Wood, and Stevens, had passed the night in question in the lime-kiln along with the deceased, and ho caused them all to bo taken into custody. At first they denied having seen any violence made use of towards the deceased, but ultimately they ex pressed a desire to tell the truth, and they then stated that the prisoner had knocked his mother down by , a violent blow with his fist, and that' he then dragged her several times round the kiln, and afterwards lifted her up two or three times, and threw her with great force upon the ground, and that she was insensible from that time until daybreak, when they carried her out and placed her in the shed, where she was found in the state above de scribed. When the prisoner was first apprehended, and told the charge that was made against him, he denied having struck his mother, and declared that she had re ceived the injury by falling down a chalk pit, but while BIRTHS.
