Stamps and Taxes, Sepwmber 23, 1848. - - 9,5513 1785 FRAN CE. [The following appeared in our Fourth Edition of yesterday]: — M. Stenio, an agent sent by the inhabitants of Pa lermo with a petition t 9 the National Assembly of France, has arrived in Paris, and requested an audi ence of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. " It appears," says the C'orsaire, " that there is really some talk of a mariage d'inclinaisou between the Right of the Assembly and the moderate Left. The conditions are said to be, first, the concession of two portfolios of Ambassador given to M. Leon de Malleville and to M. Drouyn de l'Huys ; these two representatives would have, it is said, to replace, one, M. Savoye, Ambassador at Frankfort, and the other, M. Emmanuel Arago, Charge d'Affaires at Berlin. In the second place, the Left side is, the report goes, to accept M. Thiers as Vice-President, and the Right to receive General Cavaignac as sole candidate for the office of President." The Journal du Havre of yesterday has the follow ing :—"M. Cabet arrived here this morning by the railroad, at the head of a column of forty or fifty Communists, who are to embark shortly for New Orleans, in the Bremen ship the Victoria, Captain Marlem. M. Cabet himself, whatever the Paris journals may say, is not yet disposed to take his, de parture for the Land of Promise, and is come to Havre only to superintend the arrangements for the passage of his disciples." The Journal du Havre says :—" We are assured that the negotiations of the Argentine Republic have resumed their course with the French Republic, by the intervention of M. Sarratea, Minister of the Argentine Republic, who never left Paris, notwith standing the situation of the affairs of La Plata. The mission is said to have been specially imposed on him by a veto, which Rosas charged him to remit to the French Government." THE CHARTIST TRIALS. CENT VAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. TRIAL OF CUFFEY, LACY, AND FAY. (Contime.d from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. BALLANTINE said—lt was true, Da\ is Caine before them in the guise of a respectable man. It was just possible that he was no more worthy of belief than Powell. Owing to the way in which he had been called, no notice having been given that he was to be put into the box, the prisoners had had no opportunity of making any inquiry about him. The same remark was appli cable to Tilden, who, it appeared, from his own statement, got Cuffey appointed a leader in his stead, as his pre tensions were modest. They found him endeavouring to entrap poor Cuffey into all kinds of violent expressions. No letter or document of any kind was found in the house of Cuffey or Lacy evincing the slightest scintilla of conspiracy. It was true a pike handle was found in the garret of the house in which Cuffey resided. Was it not remarkable that Tilden was in the habit of going constantly to Cuffey's, and that he went there after Cuffey had been taken into custody. Then they could have no doubt that the tri colour produced was made by Powell. The Learned Counsel, after an address of two hours and a half, con cluded by trusting the jury would acquit his clients. Mr. PARRY next addressed the jury on behalf of Fay. He said even the polluted lips of Powell were not guilty of charging the prisoners with aspersing the gentlewoman that filled the throne. Now he would show from witnesses that Powell had used the most in decent and disgusting expressions with respect to the Queen and her Consort. Having complained of the loss of the privileges taken away by this Act, he put it to the jury if they could fail to be of opinion that Davis was not one whit less polluted than Powell. He tells them he expected only compensation for loss of time. Was it likely that a person would destroy his character, and so get himself to be pointed at and to be shrunk from by his wife, his children, and his friends, without gain? Ile palmed a silly falsehood upon the jury, and he was sure they would not believe it. The Attorney- General said, with a thrill of ecstatic delight, end"shopkeeper."to become Respectable shopkeep ers spies. He agreed with the Attorney-General that Powell was" a bold bad man," thatdDida not vis was condaesc but Davis was a sneak. The thief that sneaked into an area was more despicable than the highway robber. Where are the ribbons which Powell said were distri buted on the 15th ? Not one was found when the pri soners were arrested, and the one produced was found under suspicious circumstances. Could they believe the truth of that, or of any portion of his story? Fay was taken at his father's shop, and no arms or ammunition were found upon him. After saying he should prove that Powell instigated the prisoners and others to act with violence, the Learned Counsel concluded an able and elaborate address on behalf of the prisoner Fay. The jury then retired for a short time. On their return, James Parris was called and examined by Mr. HUDDLESTONE—He said he had been employed as a carpenter for seven or eight years by Mr. Smith, the brother-in-law of Powell, a builder. He had known Powell eleven years. His character was not good. From his general character he could not believe him on his oath. Had heard him speak upon religious subjects sometimes, but could not recal to his mind what he said. Cross- examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—WouId not believe him, because he once came and said Lord J. Russell had cut his throat—(Laughter)—and on another occasion that he had seen a person steal a side of pork; that a Mr. Hudson, a neighbour, was dead. Saw Powell on Friday. Did not shake hands with him, but told him he was sorry for what he had done, on account of his children. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL— Are you a Chartist ? Witness—No, lam not. I don't know what it is. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—You don't know what Chartism is? Witness (in a broad Scotch dialect)— Naa; tell me what it is, and then I will answer you. — (Roars of laughter.) By the JUDGE—Never heard him called by his shop mates " Lying Tom." Thomas Osborne, another workman in the employ of Mr. Smith, deposed that he had known Powell for about three years and a half. Would not believe him on his oath, if it was uttered on his dyieg bed. Remembered his saying, about two months ago, that there was to be a Chartist rising. He said so to me alone. He asked witness and some of the other men to join it. This might be about three weeks after the Kennington-com mon meeting. He at the same time pointed out a person who could make him a pike. Cross-examined—Was not at the Kennington-com mon meeting. Was at Bishop Bonner's-fields on the afternoon of the day the police were attacked. Did not hear Ernest Jones speak. Attended a meeting at a public-house in the Birdcage-walk on a Sunday in April. Told Powell that he had joined the Chartist movement—that was not true—it was a lie. He would not believe Powell, because he had found him out in so many. Heard him say that Lord John Russell had cut his throat, and he charged him 2d. for a note which had been given him (Powell). Often attended meetings of Chartists after the 10th of April. Re-examined—Told Powell he had joined the Chartists because he was afraid of him. He was afraid to offend him, for he used to seek revenge on the tools months after. Richard Fennell, carpenter, employed by a Mr. Hill— Has known Powell for the last thirteen or fourteen years. From what he knew of him would not believe him on his oath. Had heard him called " Lying Tom" to his face in Mr. Smith's shop hun dreds of time. Had also heard him speak upon reli gious and political questions a number of times. Had heard him say that he would send the queen, the foreigner, her family, and Lord John Russell and Sir George Grey, to hell in no time. Had asked wit ness to join the Chartists at Cartwright's about ten days before the 10th of April. He told him (Powell), in answer to a question from him, that he was not a Chartist, and that the Chartists would not get that mea sure by the way they were going on. He said they would get it in a month. Also asked him (witness) to propose him as a delegate, after he (Powell) had proposed him as a member, saying at the same time that he could thereby get 2/. or 3/. a week, which would be better than working at old Smith's at carpentry. Told him (witness) that the Government was a weak and a ---- Government; also said " Look at the Queen spending her hundreds of thousands a year in idleness, and here are we obliged to work at the bench for a bit of bread." He said it he would come to his house he would show him mate rials enough to blow London to hell in halt an hour. Did not go. Went part of the way, but turned back, knowing the bad character of the man. Had threatened him if be did not join the Chartists that he would point out him and others, and that they would get a ball through their heads. lied showed him some Socialist tracts some years age. Cross-examined — W as dismissed by Mr. Smith, after some weeks' notice, on account of the badness of trade. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Why would you not be lieve Powell on his oath? Witness—ls it likely that I would believe a man when I have heard him swear times out of number that he would swear anything if he was paid for it. Had heard him read the Scrip tures, and when he came to the name of Christ or the disciples, tear the part out, and say of either, "Let us burn that the " disciples were the biggest scoun drels I ever heard of." — (Sensation.) When he came to the name of Judas, he heard him once say, " He was a capital fellow; he got well paid. I would have done it for half." He used to burn the leaves he thus tore out. He used these exclamations, he believed, in the presence of a person named Carr. Re-exarniued—Carr has several times heard the blas phemous language I have sworn to. By a Juror—He broke the name of the Saviour from the leaf several times, anti from several parts of the leaf. By Mr. Baron PLATT—I sometimes read the Scrip tures on Sunday, and on the working days read the newspaper. Alfred Carr, a carpenter, deposed that he knew Powell well for many years, and had worked with him three or lour years, and that he would not believe him on Oath. Cross-examined—As near as I can fix the time I last worked with Powell was in 1842. It was in the Fe bruary. This paper I hold in my hand is a date I had made to convince me I was right as to the period I last worked with him. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL requested the paper might be handed to him, which was done. Examination continued—Those dates were made out by some one in the shop. lam sure it is six years ago since I worked with Powell. That date of February refers to a period when Powell was charged with having attempted the murder of his father. The witness then went on to eorroborate the evidence of the last witness as to Powell blaspheming, and adding some relating to the Holy Trinity and the Virgin Mary, of a most gross and obscene nature. I have also seen him burn partions of the Genesis. I have known him to destroy the men's tools. I never destroyed any man's tools. I was a Chartist in 1838. Although Powell was then on good terms with me, I know he would have betrayed me if he could, and tried to do so. Re-examined —That date, February 9th, 1840, has only relation to the charge against Powell of attempting the murder of his father. By Mr. Baron PLATT—Powell used to take me to those meetings. I thought he meant to get me into trouble, because he used always to talk of ripping the policemen's bowels open. I was satisfied that he only meant to betray me, and that there was no good in it, and I left before he could lead me into it. lam not a Chartist, and on the 10th of April was out to preserve the peace. James Bennett examined—l know Powell, and first became acquainted with him four years ago, and used to mend his boots and shoes. Upon the 3d of April, in the present year, I met him at the National Hall, Holborn, and I walked part of the way home with him. On our road he asked me what I meant to do on the 10th of April. I said, "Go to the meeting." He then said, " How do you mean to go?" I asked him what he meant, and he said, "Do you not mean to go with arms?" I said I did not, and he said I was ab — fool if I did not. The rest of his 'ci eva ence merely went to prove that Powell used every endeavour to get the witness to arm himself. Cross•examined—l never had a gun, pike, sword, or pistol. I would not join or listen to any argument in favour of force. Re-examined—l am a moral force Chartist. By Mr. Baron PLATT—Orders had been given to the Chartist body not to go armed to the Kennington-com mon meeting. If they had been to the contrary , I s h ou l d not have obser ve d them or gone. Before I went to the meeting with Powell I searched his pockets, to see that he had nothing in them. That was at Cartwright's. He had spoken about hand-grenades or cartridges, and shad I found anything of the kind upon him, I should have thought him a dangerous character, and not accompanied John Westmoreland, a master tailor, living in Wat ling-street, was a moral force Chartist, and had been for forty years. Did not know anything of Powell until he came and forced his company upon him as he sat reading at Cartwright's. Powell then, upon more occasions than one; show( d him plans of organization, and did all in his power to obtain his acquiescence and assistance to join in the proposed outbreak. • George Thurston,' a moral force Chartist, swore that Powell was the first to speak to him about making one to take part in the proposed outbreak, but witness would not listen to him. He also told him that he had a pair of pistols for sale, which he wanted six shillings for, adding that if witness would buy them, he would give him a half-pound of powder into the bargain. Witness did not accede to any of his overtures. Nothing mate rial to affect the credibility of this witness could be eli cited in his cross•examination. The next witness called was Henry Green, but he, not being present during the cross-examination of Powell yesterday, when the witnesses for the defence were severally called into be identified, Powell was re called, and having seen Green, the latter was ordered out of court, Puwell was then re-examined, and said he would not deny having seen Green at a meeting in the fields, or that he had told him to arm, and that he was not worth a d—n if he did not. Neither would he deny that he went amongst the crowd that,was there and persuaded them to arm. Green was then called into court, and in his examina ion deposed to the admission made by Powell, adding hat he (Powell) told him he had no right to speak of the Charter if he would not arm. Cross-examined—On the night of the apprehension of the Chartists I was with Powell, and he showed me a sword, and said if I would tell him where I lived he would give me a dagger. On the night before he asked me if I was ready to fight for my rights. I said I had no arms, and he proposed that I should make one of the mob either at the Tower Hamlets or Seven -dials, as there would be plenty of gunsmiths in the district to be broken open, and I could arm myself. He tried all he could to ensnare me. On both nights he had been try ing. I went home and went to bed with my wife. I am a moral-force Chartist, and would much sooner be at home and in bed with my wife than out fighting in the streets.—(Laughter.) I have seen the prisoners, but I do not know them. Powell tried all he could to find out where I lived, but I would not tell him. He said if I would he would leave a dagger for me. Ho wanted to entrap me, but could not. Daniel Burn deposed to meeting Powell at Cart wright's, and at the Milton-street Tkeatre. Upon both occasions he talked of fighting, and offered to give wit ness a pistol. At the conclusion of this witness's evidence the jury begged their Lordships would adjourn the case, which was acceded to; and at the request of several of the jury men, who complained of illness, the A ttorney-General gave them permission to go out for a walk in custody of the officers before they resume their sittings this morn ing at ten. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE.) Robert Ashdouin was indicted for keeping a common gaming -house, in Castle-street, in the parish of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. Mr. Brierly appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson for the defence. It will be remembered that a person named Levy had been tried and convicted of keeping the house named, when he was sentenced to three months' im prisonment, and ordered to pay a fine of 1001. This sentence was, however, commuted, and ultimately he was liberated altogether. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. John Bond, the prosecutor, who described himself as a medical man, that he was in the habit of frequenting the house indicted. He referred particularly to the 30th and 31st of July, and the 16th of August, 1847, when he saw roulette and other games played. The de fendant and two other men, named Weeks and Levy, were there. Ashdown and Levy were bankers. The game varied from one shilling to 201. He presumed a player could bet up to that amount. He saw him self from one shilling to 4/. or 51. on the games. The witness was severely cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON, with a view of testing his character. Witness stated that he was a member of the College of Surgeons, and a member of the Apothecaries' Hall. The bills were found by the grand jury on his own evidence. No other witness was examined. He first was initiated in gambling 1$ years ago, but for an interval of 10 years subsequently had never entered a gaming-house. He knew a place called Nuneaton, in Warwickshire. Never gambled there. Never was charged with secreting two aces, whilst playing at cards, nor never was charged with inde cently assaulting his own female servant or any other person. He never received 30/. to compromise this prosecution, but he applied for a loan of 301. to a person named Lang ; wrote a letter for it ; did not threaten to give evidence of an unpleasant nature against him if he did not give it to him. He asked it as a loan, and promised to give his note of hand at 21 days for the loan, but he would be able to pay it before that time, as he expected some money in eight or nine days after the application. He never refused to give the warrant to the police officers. Gough, the police constable, never told him that if he had the warrant he could take the defendants. No one ever said so to him but Inspector Shackell. Gough had the warrant for a fortnight or three weeks, and he (witness) complained to the Police Commissioners of the circumstance. Here the witness burst into a terrific passion, and said that there was a conspiracy against him, and the police authorities were bribed in the whole pith of it. A Mr. Waddilove, and a Mr. Moses Abigal, were then called, but although both witnesses were in the house, and saw the defendant there, neither of them could say that he had taken an active part, or that he appeared to be the proprietor. Mr. CLARKSON then addressed the jury for the defence, dwelling chiefly upon the prosecutor's cha racter, which he severely criticised. The prosecutor being present, called upon the Court for protection, but Mr. Clarkson still continued, when the prosecu tor called him a --. The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE ordered the pro secutor into custody, but on making an apology, he was liberated. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE, in laying the case before the jury, said the only question for them to determine was, whether they considered the prosecutor was worthy of belief. The jury Acquitted the defendant. John Bullock and Moses Mart was then called upon to plead to a similar indictment, preferred by John Bond. Both prisoners pleaded—Not guilty. Bond was then examined, but his evidence on the point was similar to that which he before stated. Other witnesses were then called, but their evi dence did not in any way implicate the defendants. In fact, some of them had not been in the house for eight years previously, and those who had been there never saw the defendants play, nor ever saw a roulette table in the house. The defendants were acquitted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-MOOSE. A young man, named William Wynne, according to the station-house list, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having attempted to shoot William Cormick, City policeman No. 483. The prisoner, who appears to be about twenty years of age, and looks like a simple Irish country boy, was dressed in an exceedingly slovenly and shabby manner. The policeman said this morning, at about two o'clock, I saw the prisoner loitering about my beat in Thames-street, near Queenhithe, and I asked him what he was hanging about for ? He made no answer. A sergeant of the force then came up, and put the same question to him, but he made no reply, and walked away. The sergeant, who did not like his appearance, followed him, and spoke to the policeman on the next beat about him. I saw no more of him until a quarter before four o'clock, when I perceived him sitting. upon some bricks in Garlick-hill, near Thames-street, and I said to him, " What, are you here again loitering ? You must give some account of yourself. Where do ,t You --,-, I've got it in for you live ?' He said, you. I owe it to you for last night." I then made up to him to take him into custody, upon which he immediately pulled out a pistol, and Jointing it at me, said, " Here, take tha t, y ou -- , and attempted to fire. I was about a yard and a half from him at the time. The pistol flashed, but missed fire, and the prisoner immediately ran off. I instantly pursued him, and another policeman came to my assistance, and when we reached him he presented the pistol at us, and said, " The first that comes near me is a dead man." I watched him, and as soon as I saw him take his eyes off me I struck him with my staff and he ran, but fell opposite your Lordship's house in Queenhithe. lle dropped the pistol, which was found to be loaded with powder and two balls. The LORD MA YOR —H ave you ever seen him be fore, or do you kpow anything about him ? Police man—l know nothing about him, and never before saw him to my knowledge. 11. Davis (policeman 491)—As I was on duty on Brookes's wharf I heard a rattle, and I ran to the spot from which the noise issued, expecting it was caused by a fire. A s soon as 1 go t oppos it e Queen hithe Church I heard the prisoner say—the first man that comes near me is a deal man. When the pri soner saw me he turned round and presented the pistol to me and said—You —, keep off. I said — Wait a minute, don't be in such a hurry. He then retreated, with his back to the wall of the church, still presenting the pistol at me. I was closing on him fast, and he said—You —, keep off; still pay ing attention to me. The complainant then watched his opportunity, rushed upon the prisoner, struck him on the head with his staff, and stunned him. The pistol arm dropped, but he recovered, and endeavoured to escape. I was close at his heels, and when he got close to your Lordship's door, in Queenhithe, he fell to the ground, and threw the pistol with great force away from him, and it struck fire against the stones. I kept him on the ground, and the sergeant came up, and he was then conveyed to the station-house, where I searched and found upon him the percussion caps now produced, two shillings in silver, and fourpence in copper TlieLoan MAYoa—Mad he any more powder or balls? Witness—None at all. T. C. Everett :(acting sergeant at the Bow-lane station-house)-1 asked the prisoner before he was locked up what induced him to make such attempt, at the same time cautioning him that what he should answer would be produced in evidence before the magistrate. He said, that the cause of his so doing was because he was ill-used by the policeman. The complainant—l asked him why he aimed the pistol at me, but he said nothing. Inspector Waller produced the pistol and the con tents, and said, of the two balls with which it was loaded, one, which was smaller than the other, was wrapped in a piece of brown paper. I had the pri soner before me, and he said, in answer to my question, that he did not know where he lived, but it was somewhere about Tower-street; that he was about three weeks in this country and that he bought the pistol for six shillings, but he did not know where. I asked him how he came to fire at the policeman, and he replied, that last night the police man got pulling him about, and that he would shoot him. I could not ascertain where he resides. The LORD MAYOR—Prisoner, do you wish to ask any questions of these witnesses ? The prisoner—. No, sir. The LORD Mayou—Have you any explanation to make of this extraordinary conduct ? The prisoner —The reason I did it was what the policeman stated, your Honour. I was pulled and dragged about in the street. I might be mistaken in the policeman that did it, but if it was not him it was some other policeman. The LORD MAYOR—How long is it since you bought the pistol ? The prisoner—Fifteen days. The LORD MAYOR—Do you know where you bought it ? The prisoner —Not exactly where, but I bought it in London. The LORD MAYOR—From whence do you come ? The prisoner—From the county Roscommon. lam three weeks here. The LORD MAYOR—What induced you to come here ? The prisoner—l've got friends outside the City, in Gravesend. The LORD MAYOR—What are the names of your friendt? The prisoner—l'll not tell that, your Honour, for they little think that this misfortune has happened to me. Inspector Waller said that several of the City policemen had called to look at the prisoner, but not one of them had ever seen him before. The LORD MAYOR —I shall remand the prisoner till Tuesday, in order that strict inquiries may be made about him. At present there is a great deal of mystery in the affair. _ _ In the course of the investigation the prisoner stated to Inspector Waller, who sat near the bar, that his name was Bryan. A young woman, whose name appeared on the station-house list as Sarah Ann French, was brought up under the following remarkable circumstances : Mr. Walker, who resides in Liverpool-street, stated that his son informed him that morning that there was a young woman below stairs who had broken a window in the house, and he wished to know whether the offender should be given in charge to the police. Upon inquiry it was evident that the case was one with which a magistrate ought to deal. The young woman, finding that there was no disposi tion to prosecute her for the offence she had committed, declared that she was anxious to go to prison ; that she had been pursuing very abandoned courses, was in a desolate condition, and hoped in time and through the interference of the magistrate, to be restored to society. The LORD MAYOR—Is she known to our officers ? Spittle, an experienced officer, said he knew her well, and he was quite astonished to see her in the situation in which she stood at that moment, for she had been living splendidly for a considerable time, and was the associate of the most dashing housebreakers in the Metropolis. He had had her in custody in the year 1843, having apprehended her in possession of several housebreaking implements.' She was at that time sentenced to imprisonment in Bridewell for two months. About that time she was constantly in the company of and acting with gangs of thieves. The LORD MAYOR—What do you think of this avowal of her wish to leave the abandoned life she has been leading? Spittle—l believe her to be sincere. I do not think she would have thought of such a thing as this if she was not sincere. The LORD MAYOR to the defendant—What have you done with your former associates ? Have you left them, or have they left you ? The defendant — I have left them. I never wish to see or think of them more. Spittle said he had reason to believe that she had sold a splendid house and furniture, of which she had been possessed, and had of late lived upon the pro ceeds of the sale. It was not, however, so easy to get rid of the villanous associates whom she had been in the habit of assisting. The LORD MAYOR then fined the defendant, pro forma,, in order to be justified in sending her to prison, until more particular inquiry should be made into her circumstances and actual condition. GUILDHALL. Francis Shea, with Catherine, his wife, were placed at the bar for final examination on the charge of as saulting their landlord and landlady, with intent to murder them. Mr. Wontner appeared to defend the prisoners. The evidence taken on the previcus occasions was read by the chief clerk, and went to show that the prisoners, being in arrears of rent, a broker was employed to take possession of the room and furniture, but admission being refused, he could not do so; and on finding that to be the case, he gave Mrs. Cox, the landlady, the warrant duly filled up, and told her that when the door was opened she could walk in, and on producing the warrant, take possession. In the after noon she did so, when both prisoners created a disturbance, upon which Mr. Cox, who had just come home, ran upstairs to see what was going on, when he was knocked down by a blow of a hammer, given by the female prisoner ; after which he was dragged into the room, and the door was both locked and nailed up to prevent any parties entering, and it was not until the door was broken open with a sledge-hammer that the police were able to prevent murder. On their entrance into the room, they at once took the female into custody, as she was standing with a hammer in her hand which was covered with blood, and afterwards the husband. After lengthened proceedings, Alderman SIDNEY said the charge was of so serious a nature that he must commit them to Newgate for assault with intent to murder. Mr. Wontner applied that they should be allowed out on bail, but the application was refused. The depositions were made out, and they were conveyed to prison. CLERKEN WELL. John Johnson and John South were finally eaa• mined, charged by Mr. Charles Ellis, of the Carved Red Lion, Islington -green, with stealing a ham, under the following circumstances : It appeared from the evidence of Collins, 59, and Withers, 211 N, active officers, that on Friday last the former officer saw the prisoners in Holloway, when Johnson was carrying the ham. Suspecting that it was stolen property the officers proceeded to question them, whe❑ Johnson threw the ham away, and ran off with the other prisoner, who escaped. Whilst 'Withers took possession of the ham, Collins secured Johnson. They eventually succeeded in tracing and apprehending the prisoner South, and on making inquiries, they also traced the property to have been stolen from the house of the prosecutor on Friday last, on which day the prisoners were seen in the house. The prisoner Johnson, it was said, was well known by the peculiar appellation of " Happy Jack," in consequence of the contented and patient manner in which he bore his "troubles." The prisoners reserved their defence, and they were fully committed for trial. INQUEST ON ELIZA WILSON. Yesterday forenoon, at ten o'clock, the inquiry into the extraordinary circumstances connected with the death of Eliza Wilson was resumed before Mr. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey. In addition to the evidence already given, Mr. Chapman, the surgeon, who made _a post mortem examination of the body, deposed that he was quite satisfied that death was caused by the use some instrument or instruments used for the purpose of inducing a miscarriage. Mr. Kay, a surgeon, corroborated the evidence of Mr. Chapman. A great deal of evidence was then received, the larger portion of which is unfit for publication, but all of it tending to strengthen the case against the accused. The room was then cleared, and the jury left to deliberate upon their. verdict. After the lapse of upwards of an hour and a half the court was re-opened, and the jury returned a verdict against the woman Spencer to I t n h d e fi murder el d of Wilful Murder; and a g ains t Richard Orpin a n d Mary Ann Dryden , o f beingaccessories before the fact. Isfo verdict was returned in reference to William Lindfield, the reputed son of the woman Spencer Lindfield, - SOUTH SEA. HOUSE.—A half-yearly I Court of this company wzs held yesterday, in Threadneedle street, the Hon. Mr. Bouverie in the chair. The committee for the inspection of the bye-laws for the past year was re- elected. The secretary then stated that the amount of the bond debt still due by the company was 4,5001. The meeting then adjourned. N AVAL INTELLIGENCE. PorTsMouTu, unsDar.--The Fairy Royal yacht, Master-Commander Welch, came up from Cowes this afternoon, about ten minutes past three o'clock, under a salute from the platform only, with her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, the Princess of flo hen toe and her daughter the Princess Elizi, attended by Lord George Lenncx, Lord of the Bedcharabbr to his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, Lady Anna Maria Dawson, and Colonel Sir G. Couper, Bart., C. 8., K.H., her Royal Highness's Controller, and Principal Equerry, en route to Arundel Castle, the seat of the Duke of Norfolk, where the Royal Duchess and her distinguished relatives will sojourn a few days. Sir Charles Ogle, the Commander-in-Chief, attended by Flag-Lieutenant Cochran, went off in his barge, covered in on account of the rain, and tran shipped the Royal party, whom he landed at the King's-stairs, where Captain Yates, of the flag-ship Illustrious, was in waiting, with Prince Victor of Hohenloe (naval cadet of the Powerful), to receive the Duchess and train. Her Highness and her reit.. tives were conducted by Sir Charles Ogle, Lard Lennox, Sir George Couper, Captain Yates, and Prince Victor, to their carriages, and the Royal cortege left the yard for Arundel at twenty minutes past three o'clock. Rear-Admiral John M'Kerlie died at his residence, Corvisal, Wigtonshire, on the 12th instant , at an advanced age. He had ' seen much service, and was universally respected by a large circle of friends. The gallant deceased was one of what is termed the " yellow " admirals, having accepted r etirement in that rank under the order of October, 1 846 . He lest an arm, and was otherwise wounded, while a midship man on board the Indefatigable, at the destruction of the French 74 gun-ship Droits des Hommes, and was in the several actions fought by Sfr Edward Pel lew (Lord Exmouth) in that ship, and the Arethusa frigate ; assisted at the blowing up of the Insolente, in the Morbihan river, in 1800, and was Senor Lieu tenant of the Spartiate, 74, at Trafalgar. When Captain of the Calliope he was employed in command of a small squadron in the German rivers, in 1812 and 1811. He commanded the Vernon, 50 gun fricrate, on the Mediterranean station, in 1833, and two lowing years, during which service the Vernon had many trials with the Barham, 50, to ascertain the sailing qualities of the two ships, which occupied much public attention at the time. THE STEAM SQUADRON. The boilers of the Cyclops frigate, Captain the 000. G. Ilastings, are very defective. The air-pumps of the Driver sloop, Commander Johnson, are in a bad condition. Both these vessels have been surveyed to-day by the engineer department, and reported upon. The Rifleman schooner, Lieutenant-Command er Crofton, is ordered here to have new tubes in her boilers. The Phoenix screw-sloop is ordered a new spare screw 22 inches in length. The Ajax screw guard-ship was undocked to-dait and removed from the basin alongside of the Victo-. rieuse hulk, preparatory for trial in a day or two. The Termagant frigate was removed from the old basin to moorings off Gosport to-day, where she Will try her engines. The Hecate paddle-sloop was taken into the dock vacated by the Ajax, to be advanced. Wind N.N.E.; light breezes and hazy weather, with incessant rain. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 48.—Captain Varlo and Lieut. Roberts, with 70 non-commissioned officers and non of the Royal Marines, arrived at Woolwich yester day by railway, having returned from Ireland, where their services were not required.

NAVAL PATRONAGE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. Sir,—Whilst I fear there are many who are fated to feel disappointment at not obtaining that promo tion to which they consider their claims entitle them, I would have those who are thus suffering to look, by way of consolation, at the case of a near relative of the present First Lord of the Admiralty, and then, I am assured, they will at once admit the marked im partiality of the Earl of Auckland—an impartiality, as evinced on this occasion, of which I believe there is scarcely an instance to be found on record. The case I allude to is that of the son of one of our most distinguished admirals, and who is also the nephew of one of England's most renowned military commanders, who lost his valuable life whilst fighting the battle of his country on the plains of Corunna. This young officer, who is now in command of a sloop of war, has already, it is said, shown great tact and judgment in the m ention of certain duties that have been confided to him. He has been very nearly five years a conl• mander, and yet, though he is so closely related to the First Lord of the Admiralty, he has not ob tained that promotion which, but for this circum stance, I sincerely believe he would have received long since from any other First Lord in acknowledge ment of the distinguished services of his father and of his uncle. In truth, I feel convinced that had this promising young man been advanced to the rank of captain even three years ago, that there are not fife men in the navy who would have raised their voices against so just a reward having been bestowed on the descendant of Sir Graham and Sir John Moore. Ml' best hope is that this act of justice cannot be mu" longer delayed, notwithsta n di ng t h e n i ce sense °I , delicacy which always actuates the feelings of th e Noble Lord at the head of the Admiralty. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, ONE WHO HAD THE HAPPINESS OF SERVING UNDER THE LATE SIR GRAHAM MOORE' BADEN INSURRECTION. A letter from Bale of the 25th says—" The Republican movement of Struve in Baden was quite isolated, and only extended over a narrow circle. The circle of the lake, Oberland, and Unter land did not join in the movement. There was little enthusiasm on the scene of the insurrection. Struve, it is said, made the peasants give him money to avoid being obliged to follow him. On Saturday his head quarters were at Mullheim. The bourgmestre had been arrested, but released on payment of 1,000 florins. It was stated that General Hermann bad dispersed the greater part of the insurgents, and that Liewenfels had been made prisoner, but that Struve had escaped. Notwithstanding all this, a placard was stuck up at Loarrach, setting forth that the insurgents were already near Friburg, and con sisted of 15,000 men. This morning the Republican Government retired within the Swiss territory. Hopes are entertained that the Vorort will take measures to prevent the renewal of this game." The Carlsruhe Gazette of the 24th has the follow ing :—" The troops, which took their departure the day before yesterday, have arrived in Oberland with theintent of quelling the insurrection. The rebels had taken up part of the railroad to prevent the troops from arriving, but it was promptly re stored. We expect, this evening, three battalions of federal troops. One will halt at Offenburg and Appenweter, another at Achern, and the third will march on to Carlsruhe. To-morrow others will arrive, but proceed immediately into the Oberland. Troops at Limdau and Beigentz have received orders from the Vicar-General to move into the Circle of the Lake, whence they will be able to fall upon the rebels in their rear. PIEDMONT. The Risorgimento of the 23d publishes an address in English to the British nation, signed by Vicenzo Gioberti, President of the Central Committee for the Promotion of the Italian Confederacy. The atten tion of the British public is therein called upon the Italian question; and after enumerating the various arguments in favour of Italian independence, and calling upon England not to be led back to the policy of 1814, the conclusion is as follows:—" We are armed yet. We are gathered together, unbroken in spirits. One-half of our population homeless, hope less. Fire and sword have done their utmost. We have little more to fear. We are inured to evil. The world may , deny us justice; but we are sure of our vengeance. LOMBARD Y. The Augsburg Gazette of the 23d inst." publishes a letter, dated Vienna, 19th inst., which states that Baron DB WESSENDERG, the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs, cannot agree with the British or French Ministers on a single point with regard to the affairs of Italy. VENICE. Letters from Trieste of the 18th instant state that General Durando had landed at Venice with 2,200 men from Ancona. NAPLES AND SICILY. The Roman Gazette of the 18th, says--" Travellers from Naples have brought the intelligence that the Neapolitan Government has just ordered the arrest of many excellent and industrious citizens. The latest accounts from Messina are that General Nunziante has divided his army into three corps, one of which is destined against eatsnia, and the other against Palermo. THE REGISTRATIONS. CITY OF LONDON. Mr. M‘Christie resumed his sittings yesterday. The name of Charles Grenville Prideaux, described as of 2, Elm-court, and 4, Brick-court, Temple, was ob jected to by Mr. Smith on the ground that his qualifica tion was improperly stated. The qualification was for Brick-court, but he had not occupied the chambers a sufficient length of time to entitle him to vote, although he had continuous occupation in the parish, having pre viously rented chambers in Elm-court. Mr. SMITH stated that where the continuous occupa tion was made up by residing in two houses, it was re quired that both of them should be set out in the quali fication column. Mr. BROWN held that the Revising Barrister had power to rectify such an omission. Mr. IPCHRISTIE decided that the objection was tenable, and struck the name from the list. This being the day appointed for the election of Lord Mayor, Mr. M'Christie did not sit, but he will hold a court to• morrow, at ten o'clock, when it is expected that the revision will be completed. JENNY FIND.—DUBLIN, SEPT. 26.—Yesterday morning the box-office of the Theatre Royal was opened for the purpose of giving the public an opportunity of selecting places in the house in order to hear the " Swedish Nightingale." There was downright positive excitement manifested--nearly as much as if the " charmer" were present. We have not beheld the like for a long time. As early as ten o'clock carriages, cars, gi..,s, and other vehicles drove from all directions towards the Talbot Arcade, and not only Hawkin's street, but the square in front of the theatre soon became crowded. The arcade itself was thronged by human beings —young ladies—aye, and old ladies too—were prominent in the crowd. They did not complain in the least of the pushing and crushing which they endured. The fact is the scene could not be likened to anything we know of. Men came out of the box-office with smiling faces and torn coats (black frock and dress), not thinking of the garments at all, but looking with com placency on their tickets, and envied by their less for tunate neighbours, who could not get in to pay their several thirty shillings for as mmy box seats. Altogether it was laughable to witness the eagerness with which the crowd pressed forward to secure places. Some police men were present to keep order(?), and the party who procured a ticket or tickets had to retire through another door, and let his next neighbour take up a po sition before our old friend Mr. Barry, the box-keeper. The theatre has been measured from pit to top gallery, and eighteen inches allowed fur each seat. The seats have boa all numbered, and the persons procuring tickets receive corresponding numbers, so that no incon venience, annoyance, or disappointment can occur, as each ticket-holder will be shown to the seat correspond ing with the number. The side passages of the pit have been supplied with seats, and the exact number of seats will be disposed of, so that no crush will be experienced by the visitors who have paid for hearing the gifted vocalist, whose visit has caused a sensation amongst the play-going people of this city. LIE ARRIVAL OF THE lIEAD-QUARTERS OF TIIE 4TII (KING'S OWN).—CHATHAM, SEPT. 26.—The head quarters of this distinguished regiment arrived this after noon by railway from Gravesend, and at the Strood Terminus they embarked on board the Prince Edward steamer for Chatham, and disembarked at the Sun Pier, when they were welcomed by the excellent band of the 17th Regiment, sent specially by th e ir colonel ; the band playing " Home, sweet home." The strength of the head-quarters consist of 12 sergeants, 4 drummers, and 186 rank and file, with 18 women and 37 children, under the command of Major T.
