MORNING SUN EXTENSIVE ROBBERY of PLATE, JEV7.ELL:IIY, &c, MYSTERIOUS CASE. MANrCIIESTER, OCT. 9.—This day, Mr. Richard Thel well, lately carrying on a most extensive business as a jeweller and silversmith, in St. Ann's- square, in this town, was brought before Messrs. Maude, Walker, and Armitage, on suspicion of being concerned in a very serious robbery, which was committed on his premises about seven weeks ago, when property to the amount of 9,0001. was stolen. A man named William Moobay was placed in the dock along with him, who had been employed as a porter in the establishment. Owing to the singular nature of the charge, and the amount of Property in question, the case excited the utmost inte rest, and the Court was crowded to excess. Mr. Thel well was some time ago made a bankrupt. and the rob bery had been committed at the time the assignees were in possession of the property, and when the bankrupt and his friends were in treaty for the purchase of it. Mr. Sat:enders, the Solicitor under the fiat, appeared in support of the charge. Mr. Thelwell was defended by Mr. Greene, Barrister-at-law. In stating the ease Mr. Saunders said the robbery had been committed on the 22d of August last. The as signees under the fiat were chosen on the 12th of May, when a parson named Horton, a jeweller in London, on behalf of himself and several others, applied to the assig nees not to proceed to the sale of the property forthwith, but to allow it to remain as it was, merely selling by private contract, to give the friends of Mr. Thelwell an opportunity of coming forward and purchasing it in one lot. The assignees, knowing that when the property was under Mr. Thelwell's control a previous robbers had been committed, two valuable communion services being stolen, felt that there was some danger from reeeated at tempts of the kind. and employed a watchman to remain on the premises all night, and afterwards all day on Sundays. He did so fur three weeks, and was then dis charged from further attendance on Sundays, by Mr. Thelwell's order, without the knowledge of the assignees. The robbery was committed on the third or fourth Sunday afterwards, when the man was absent. Sus picion attaching to Mr. Thelwell, it was found that on Saturday, the 21st of August, the day before the rob 'bery, he had taken his place by the P.M. train from Manchester to Parkside (the place of junction for the trains from Manchester, Liverpool, and Lancaster to London), not in his own name. Thence he had gone to Lancaster, also in a wrong name ; and on being asked to account for this circumstance, just said he had gone there to see a friend, 'a'nd then that he had gone to see a yourre woman. 'lle had left Lancaster on Sunday after noon by the train which arrived at Parkside in time to meet the 7 P. 31. train from Manchester to Birmingham, and by that train he had proceeded to London. In in vestigating the robbery, it had been found that a large heavy box had gone by that train from Manchester. On the morning of the robbery, during the hours of Divine Service, a woman saw two men carrying a boit along Half-moon-street (a retired street near Mr. Thel well's shop). They were traced into King-street, where they got into a coach that was waiting, and drove WOK place very near the house of the prisoner Moobay, in Hahne. The box could be traced no further than the railway station on Sunday evening. Superintendent Saw ley, of the Manchester police, proceeded to London, where, after some difficulty, he found Mr. Thelwell, on Tuesday evening, at the White Horse, Fetter-lane, in company with Mr. Horton, and ten persons who said they were from Birmingham. Sawley toll Mr. Thel wedl hie suepicione and advised him to go back to Man chester immediatefy, which he did. Nothing beyond a very strong suspicion was entertained until last night, when a letter was received from Mr.. O'Brien, a magis trateof the county accompanied` by a copy of de po:itiotts tken before him, from which it appeared that a .man named hit Rafferty bud been thei-e charged with stealing 70/. from a James Thelwell, the brother of the prisoner. Thelwell gave a very suspicions account of the way, in which he became possessed of the 701., and. R a ff er ty, whose sister had cohabited with James Thelwell, afterwards made a confession irnp!icating the two prisoners and James Thelwell (who had been employed as porter by his brother) in the robbery in St. Ann's-eepiare. He stated that the 701. had been handed over to him 3 his shore of the property, various portions : of which had bee.7 l sold in Derbyshire and other places, and a fruit spzw ia t een had. been there entered into by . himself and James Thelwell. A quantity of this fruit was traced to the possession of the prisoner .Moobay. On the premises being examined after the robbery, it was evident that no force had been Used except from the inside. It was pretended to be said that a box-lock had been broken open, but the box had' been regularly and carefully unscrewed ; not a bit of wood remained in the worms of the screw, which eeculd have been the case had it been forced off'. It was suspected that there were du plicate keys, and that the premises had been entered in that way. This was strenuously denied, but it ulti mately turned out that there were duplicate keys, which had been missed since the time the commu nion plate was stolen. Beyond all doubt the rob bery had been committed by parties well ac quainted with the premises, as was shown by their taking the valuable property and leaving the refuse. Superintendent Sawley was then sworn, and stated, that he was sent for on the night of Sunday, the 22d of i August, by Mr. Gillovr, who was in possession of the shop under the assignees. The outer yard door was un locked, and the door leading from the yard to the shop evae open. He had no doubt the lock of the box had been unscrewed inside. He made. inquiries, and on Alonda.y traced the box up to near the prisoner Moobay's house. He searched the house, but found nothing. Moo bay was mach alarmed. At the railway lie learned that the porters haJ placed a very heavy box on the luggage carriage of the seven le3l. Sunday train, but they did not know whether it was eassengers' luggage, and none of them remembered carryie e* it up stairs. He then went to London, and found Mr. Thelwell there on Tuesday ; he then knew all about the robbery, as he said, by a let ter from his son that morning. tieetad only arrived in London at six on Monday morning. It was supposed in Manchester that he had gone on the Thursday pre viously, and this led to the inquiry about his going to Parkside and Lancaster. The prisoner's brother James, Ratfertja - anctkis sister, who had lived with James Thel well, had for some time dealt in fruit up and down the country, but they suddenly disappeared soon after the robbery, and nothing was heard of theta till the com munication was received from the Magistrate in Ireland. ThmeaseLee stated that, he had been employed as a private watchauut.hn the premises, in the first instance by Mr. Thelwell himself, and afterwards by the assig nees. Ha was instructed to remain on the premises from seven at night till eight in the morning. He then re ceived orders to watch on Sundays, and did so for two Sundays ; on the third Sunday Mr. Henry Thelwell, Mr. Thelwell's son, told him his father said there was no oc casion to stay on Stindays, and he discontinued it. He then used to leave the premises between seven and eight on Sunday morning, and return at night. They had a large dog, which he always left in the yard on Sunday mornings., On the night the robbery was discovered they found the dog shut up in the cellar. It was a very ferocious dog, and would not have allowed a stranger to place it there. Mr. Gillow used to let wit ness in and out. He went with him to let him in on the night of the 22d of August. The witness then described the state i n w hi c h ti :e - doors were found. Cross-examined—Mr. Billow, the person employed by the assignees, k new th a t w it ness did no t wa t c h on Sun days b e f ore t h e ro bb ery, an d did not comp l o i n o f . was paid h a lf- a - crown extra, b y Mr. Thelwell, whets He ets he watched on a Sunday. Mr. Gilluw deposed that he was employed by the assignees to keep p oss e ss i on o f t h e property. When he first went a watchman was only employed in the - night ; b u t on - the ' 26th of June, Mr. WM tin,,re, one of the. assignees, gave instructions to Mr. Thelwell to put. . a watchman on on the Sun day.. Mr. Thelwekafterwards said to witness that it was very unnecessery,, as lie bad not been in the habit of keeping one either at niebts or in. Sundays. The watchman was put on on Sundays, and was paid by Mr. Thelwell, on behalf of the assignees. On the Saturday evening prior to the third Sunday of the watchman b e ing employed,. Mr. Thelwell said it was very un necessary—it was only incurri ng extra expense to the estate. Witness told him h e certa i nly ought to know best, but if the assigeees knew of the watclenan being discharged they would find great fault. He was after wards discharged from_ Sunday atten d ance unknown to the a ssignees. During the Sunday s h e watched, Mr. Thelwell or his sons let hint in and out, as they did until the 13th of August, w h en t h e assignees excluded them e re m the premises ; and witness then took posses sion of the keys and let the vvatchman' in and out . O n the morning of the robbery he was l et , out a little befcre half-pasts and the premises were left perfectly secure. The keys W • % % re en in witness's possession all day till h e went t o let the man in at night, and found the pre m i ses as described. e d. Did not inform- the assig nees of the wa discarded on a Sunday. Did not in rternenifren la h m ei i n n g e form Mr. Hobson, by whom he was immedi a t e l y em ployed, ployed, but concur re with owingto the experience he had ex pense on the estate. gThelwell,it anunnecessary d its t t h h init r i r. n had, n The reason was this—Mr. Thelwell had then every expectation of coming forward with secu rity to take the stock, which of for the benefit of the crditors than the assignees could the watchman on Sundays, possibly have done : and witness knew if he had told the assignees of the discharge of . . shop, and not they would immediately have closed the f orward 1 of coming given Mr. Thelwell another ch an ce with security. His reason for rt . Tbelwell. He told informing the assig nees was out of friendship to air. him it would not do to let the assignees know, other wise it would put a stop to the whole negotiation._ Did not think M r . Th e l we ll was act i ng incorrectl y. He as Hes.a.ac knowledged h e was rem i ss i n not i n f orm i ng th nese that t h e watchman had been discharge d on Sundays l immediately after Mr. Thelwell we's premises on th e 13 t h o f August. excluded from the Re-examined—Mr. Thelwell's negotiation with the assignees had not closed on the 13th of August ; one part of it was that M r . Th e l we ll would have to pay expense. The letter from' tl4 Irish NfaUistrate, and the deposi tions. taken by him, having been handed up to the bench, Mr. Saunders asked to have the prisoners remanded till the parties could be brought over from Irelend. Mr. Greene opposed the remand, as - far as Mr. Thel well was concerned. Mr. Thelwell had shown every disposition, at ail times, to give al the information in his power to the police, or to appear any time when the Court thought proper to call him before it. In point of fact, there was not the slightest evidence in the world against Mr. Thelwell. First of all, he was shown to be altogether absent from the place ; he went from Lancaster direct to L on d on. It was attempted to throw suspicion up on hi m, because a large heavy box left the Manchester station the same night, and crossed Mr. Thelwell on the way the supposition being that he had girt hold of that box: But heft was that to he, made out? The box undoubtedly left the •Matchester• station by the Manchester carriages, but the train from Lancaster consisted of different earriegee, which were attached to the other at Parkside. It had clearly been a passenger's box, otherwise it would have appeared in the bill ; there would have been carriage to hi paid on it at London, and it might have been kuo•.vn from the porters what had become of it. And, assuming that it contained all the stolen property, there was no connec tion shown between it and Mr. Thelwell. What had been Mr. Thelwell's conduct ? Had he not come down to Manchester immediately when desired to do so by Sawley ? Then, with regard to the discharge of the watchman from attendance on Sundays, it was evident that Mr. Gillow himself thought there was no necessity whatever for his continu ance. As to the duplicate keys, thero was no evidence in the world of any such existing, still less of Mr. Thel well being in any way connected with them. Mr. Thel well's brother, or Mr. Pat Rafferty might have had some thing to do with the robbery for aught that appeared, but there was no evidence affecting Mr. Thelwall. Mr. Saunders contended that there was a very strong case made out against Mr. Thelwell. After a conversation the Magistrates consulted, and then said, that without expressing, any opinion as to the probability of his being implicated, and thereby affecting his character, they felt bound to call on him to find two sureties in 1,0001. each for hi: appearance on that day week. Moobay was also required to find sureties fur his ap pearance on the same day, when the parties in Ireland, whose evidence has led to this disclosure, will be brought forward. PRICES OF FOOD AT HOME AND ABROAD. The price of white wheaten bread of the first quality, at Paris, is 70 centimes the loaf of 2 kilogrammes, which is scarcely equal to 6d. for the four pound loaf of Eng lish weight. Bread of the first quality is sold in Lon den at 10d. for the four pound loaf. The best descrip tion of bread is, therefore, 66 4-6ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. There is a second quality of wheaten bread made in Paris, of which the price at present is 54 centimes for the loaf of 2 kilogrammes, or 41d. for 4 pound loaf of English weight. The highest quotation of the best flour in Paris on the 4th instant, was 65E the 159 kilogrammes, which is equal to 40s. I Id., the sack of 280 pounds English weight. The highest price of flour at Mark-lane yester day was 625. the sack. Flour, therefore, is 511 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris, where a man can buy 281 b. of the finest flour for 4s. Id., whereas is London he can buy only 181 b. for the same money. The highest quotation of white wheat at Paris on the 4th instant was 35f. for the 14 hectolitre, which equals 535. 3d. the quarter. The highest quotation at Mark-lane on Monday was 80s. per quarter : wheat, therefore, is 49 2-3ds per cent. dearer in London than in Paris; or a man can buy in London only one bushel of the best wheat for ten shillings, while in Paris he can buy a bushel and a half for the same money. At Arras, on the 2d instant, the best wheat was sel ling at 23E the hectolitre, or 525. Bd. the quarter ; at Amiens, on the 3d instant, at 22E 50c. the hectolitre, or 51s. 6,1. the quarter ; at Dieppe, on the 3d instant, at 22f. the hectolitre, or 50s. 4d. the quarter ; at Nevers, on the 2d instant. at 20f. the hectolitre, or 455. 10d. the quarter ; at Nantes, on the 2d instant, at 181. the hec tolitre, or 41s. 3d. the quarter ; and at Tarascon, on the Ist instant, at 25f. the hectolitre, or 575. 3d. the quar ter. At Nantes, therefore, the port where the purchases of French wheat for the EngliTh market are most fre quently made, wheat is 91 per cent. cheaper than in London. At Danzig, on the 2d instant, the highest quotation for the best wheat was 535. per quarter, free on board. There were several English vessels in the port at that date ; but as it was known that the duty would be up again in England to a p ro hibit or y point, none of those vessels could obtain cargoes, though willing to accept of very low freights. At Konigsberg, on the Ist instant, the highest quota tion of wheat was 525. 6d. free on board. Cured India beef of the best quality is now selling at Hamburgh at 5/ 6s. the tierce of 3361 b. For the same quality Si. is charged in London. The best cured beef, therefore, is 50 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The best navy beef (the quality generally used for victualling the Royal Navy) is selling in Ham burgh at 4L 14s. the tierce of 3041 b. The British Go vernment, as we first stated this day week, lately made a contract fur 15,000 tierces, of the same quality for the use of the navy, and the average price at which the con tract was closed was 71. ss. 2d. a tierce. Government, therefore, paid 2L lls. 2d. more for each fierce of beet than the present current price at ll•smburgh ; conse quently the country has, on this contract for navy beef, been subjected to a loss of 38,3751, which may be looked upon as so much money taken from the tax-payers of the United Kingdom, and handed over to the landed aristocracy. At the same time, a contract was closed for 16,000 tierces of navy pork, at an average price of 71. 3s. Sd. the tierce. Pork of the same quality is now selling at Hamburgh at 4L 17s. 6d. the tierce ; on this part of the contract, therefore, the country has been mulcted in the. sum of 21. 6s. 2d. for each tierce, or in the gross amount of 36,9331. 6s. Upon the 31,000 tierces of beef and pork purchased this year for the use of the navy, the people of England hare been obliged to pay to their own aristocracy 75,308/. 6s. more than they would have had to pay had there been a free trade in foreign- provisions. The present fixed importation duty on cured meat is 12s. per cwt. The best fresh beef is retailed in Hamburgh at 4-id. per pound, in London at 9d. The best fresh mutton is retailed in Hamburgh at 4d., and in London at Bd., but it must not be forgotten that the mutton is of an in ferior quality in•Hamburgh, which is not. the case with beef. The best fresh pork is retailed in Hamburgh at 41d. a pound, and in London at 9d. The importation of fresh meat into England is totally prohibited. In New York the prices of fresh meat, though in ge neral somewhat higher than in Hamburgh, are consider ably lower than in London. The best beef at Now York costs 12 cents. or 6d. per pound, and the best mutton sd. Perk is retailed in New York at 6 cents. or 3d. per pound, which is less than is charged for it either in Lon don or in Hamburgh. An ox in London, fit for making into India beef, awl weighing about 700Ihs. without the offal, will cost about 25/.; the same description of ox, fattened in Holstein, would cost in Hamburgh about 121. in autumn, and about 151. in spring. The people of England, however, can derive no advantage from the comparative cheapness of cattle in Hamburgh ; for let the price in England be ever so high, the importation of live stock is, at all times and under all circumstances, positively prohibited. LAW INTELLIGENCE. SECONDARIES' COURT, Oct. 12. SINGER V. UPTON. This was a writ of elegit to inquire as t) the amount of property within the bailiwick of the Sheriff of Lon don, possessed by the defendant, a Mr. Thomas Upton, of Bow Church. Mr. ROGER s stated the case to the Jury, and said that this was a writ to ascertain what property the defendant was possessed of, in order that the plaintiff might obtain satis faction for a debt due to him from defendant of 1811. 75. 7d. The defendant was possessed of certain houses in Bow Church-yard, which he held under a lease of twenty-one years of the Rector and Churchwardens at the yearly rent of 4501. Some time ago the defend ant entered into an arrangement with his creditors, and at the meeting he stated to them that he had let this . property for 7951., leaving him a clear yearly income of 3451., and also that a part was unlet, which, when occupied, would bring him in 30a. more. Several witnesses were called to prove these facts, and an estate agent, who had valued the premises, being called, stated that part of the property was unoccupied ; he valued the property, now let to be about a clear yearly rental above-alleharges of 2001. The Learned UNDER SHERIFF having summed up, the Jury returned, a verdict, " that the defendant was possessed , of an interest in certain property within the bailiwick of tho Sheriff* of Landon of the clear yearly value of 200/. per annuli). • DOCKING V. MOON. This'was an action to recover the sum of 71. 6s. being the balance of an account. The plaintiff was a licensed victualler, and resided at Henfield Lock, New Eemonton, and his house was situated near to some Government works. The defendant 'was a labouring man, employed in those works. The defen dant, together with the other workmen, was in the habit oe dealing with the plaintiff, and he sup plied them with various articles of food and provisions: When the workmen applied to him for ar ticles he did not sell, he was in the habit of lending them money, which was put down to their account, and settled at the end of the month. This com menced in the year 1833, and several of the accounts having gone into arrear the plaintiff called a meeting of the workmen together, and they agreed to pay oil: their several accounts by instalments. The defendant was one of the parties to that agreement, and `The defendan paid his instalments up to 1837, since which the plaintiff could , get no more from him. secondly, the st: tu l3 t r e ea o d f u l d i m Witnesses fi it r a s t t ion th s. e several issues ; and, esaes were called to prove the facts of the decla ration, and the (Fury returned for the plaintiff for the full amount.

Policeman William Knox, No. 421, was brought before the Lord Mayor, by Sergeant Vale, No. 403, by the di rection of the City Police Commissioner, to answer for the offence described in the following evidence : Sergeant Vale stated that as he was passing along Cannon-street, at a quarter before twelve o'clock on the preceding night, he saw the defendant and another policeman in a public-house, and said to him when he came out, " You can't deny, now, that you were in a public-house." The defendant said that he had not been drinking, and offered to bet five shillings that it could not be proved that he had been drinking. Witneis re fused to lay any wager, and the defendant put himself in a boxing attitude, and, after using very provoking lan guage, struck him in the face three or four times, not with any degree of violence, but evidently for the pur dose of inducing him to strike. The LORD MAYOR (to the defendant)—What have you to say for having committed this folly ? The defendant said that he certainly did go into the public-house with another policeman, a gentlman hay idz given them two-pence a-piece to pay for something to drink, as the night was so bad. As, however, the other policeman was intoxicated, the pdblican refused to serve the man, and he (defendant) then refused to be served, and waliod out, when he was charged by the complainant with havi, - .;:: been drinking, which he Imme diately said was a falsehood. Provoked by the charge, lie did, he admitted, put himself into a boxing attitude before the complainant, but he sole:nnly denied having given a single blow. The LORD MAYOR—But why did you put y i ,;Jself in a boxing attitude ? Deendant—l was greatly irriti.:o at the charge ; but I did not touch him. _ . Sergeant Vale—lle struck me three or four times on the cheek with his shut fist, but he did not hurt me. His object was to excite me to strike him. I took him into custody. He has been reported before for fighting. Defendant—l have never been reported for drinking in my life, at any rate. The sergeant was himself in the house twenty minutes before. Sergeant Vale—Yes, but that was on business, as the publican is here to prove. The LORD MAYOR—I have nothing to do with that. I have merely to decide with regard to the assault. Defendant—l have a wife and two children, my Lord, and I hope you will take that into consideration. The Loan MAYOR—I fine you ten shillings for the assault. The Commissioner knows how to deal with you as to what does not come under my cognizance. The night was certainly a very severe one, and a man might be excused for looking for shelter an y where. Two young men named Sha w , a li as tl IL'iam Monks, and Watkins, alias George Dart ah, were brought up for final examination, on a charge of having uttered a base half-crown piece in the shop of Mrs. Abrahams, tobac conist, in Sun-street, Bishopsgate. The conduct of the prisoners, who are notorious dealers in bad money, hav ing been desperate, the Lord Mayor requested that Mr. Powell, of the office of the Solicitor to the Mint, would attend, to ascertain whether there might not be suffi cient evidence to justi"y a committal, although one of them had succeeded, by swallowing the base coin, in putting out of reach a part of the usual evidence con sidered necessary to establish a conviction. William noddy (policeman No. 652) stated that he saw the prisoners, whom he knew to be very bad cha racters, look into several shops in Sun-street, and at length enter, one after the other, into the shop of Mrs. Abrahams, who was alone. After they left the shop witness entered and soon learned that the poor woman had given them change for a bad lialkrown. He immedately pursued them, and with the assistance of a sergeant, apprehended, and brought them hack to the shop, where Mrs. Abrahams identified them. Witness then desired her to mark the half crown, and at the same moment Shaw cried our "gnash it," and Watkins, with great violence, grasped Mrs. Abr,i hams arm, snatched the bad money, put it in his mouth, and some persons having rushed in to the assistance of the prisoners, sue ceeded in swallowing it, after which he said to witness, " Its down." Mr. Powell regretted that the evidence was not suffi cient, for he had known the prisoners to be incorrigible smashers for a length of time. Mrs. Abrahams said that she could not guess how the policeman escaped serious injury, for a hundred people rushed into the shop and quite overwhelmed him. Sergeant Burrell (No. 602) corroborated this part of the policeman's conduct, which he witnessed in the shop, and secured one of the prisoners, lie found upon each a quantity of good money. The - LORD MAYOR asked whether either of the pri soners struck the policeman ? Policeman Hoddy said he could not say that he received a blow. The LORD MAYOR—Did the prisoners resist 'you ? Policeman Hoddy—Certainly they did. The LORD 31Avott—I consider that they have been guilty of a high misdemeanor in assaultinc , Mrs. Abra hams and resisting the police, and I shall commit them if they do not find good bail. Mrs. Abrahams said that she was very poor, and had been greatly plundered by persons like the prisoners. Mr. Nobler suggested the propriety of directing the City Solicitor to prosecute the prisoners, who were expe rienced hands, and knew how to get out of ordinary dif fieul ties. The LORD MAYOR immediately desired that in structions should be sent to the City Solicitor on the subject, and mentioned that he had been given to under stand that many cases of swallowing both good and bad money had proved fatal to those who got rid of prosecu tions in that way. Mr. Powell said that he was acquainted with various cases in which the swallowing 4_4' good as well as bad money had produced ulceration of th stomach, and ab cess of the intestines, which ended in death. One of the individuals he alluded to (Thomas Seeley) had swal lowed seven good half-crowns, and died in great agony of intestinal abcess. The prisoners seemed, by their countenances, to deny the efficiency of such a mode of getting rid of life. They did,not at all contradict anything that had. been uttered against them, but stood cautiously and steadily at the bar, and perfectly comprehended the whole of the proceedings. BOIV-STREET. Alfred French, a money-taker at the Olympic, was yesterday placed at the bar, charged by Mr. Wild, the lessee of that theatre. with having last night " bolted " with all the money:that he had taken at the pit door up to half-past nine o'clock. Mr. Wild stated that the prisoner had been recom- mended to him by Mr. Pearse, the coach-builder of Long.acre, for whom his father had worked for twenty years past. He had first been employed in the capacity' of a check-taker, and was last night, for the first time, promoted to the post of money-taker at the pit door. ' About half-past nine it was discovered that he had left • his post, and on examination it was found that he had taken with him all the money that had been received up to that time, which, according to the number (229) of checks which he - had passed, amounted to 11/. 9s. It happened, however, that he had been seen to puss an acquaintance into the gallery, and the officer of the theatre went up and told this person that if he did not tell them where he could find the prisoner, he should himself be taken into custody. The young- man said he believed he would find him at the White Hart, in Fetter-lane. The officer accordingly went to that house,; and found him drinking there in company with several other persons. Mr. Wild said he understood that the prisoner had, been led away by getting drunk with some of his compa 7 nions, and he wished him to be leniently dealt with. Mr. HALL said there was but one course to pursue, which was to send the prisoner for trial. He had no power to inflict a light punishment. People were too I ready in giving characters to persons without knowing whether they deserved them or not, as appoared in the present case. It was certainly a cheaper mode of re lieving a person, to get him employment by giving him a character, than to give him money. But it was a prac tice which could not be justified. The Magistrate asked the prisoner how he had been employed previously to going into Mr. Wild's service ? The prisoner (crying) —I was a lawyer's clerk for seven years and a-half, then a light porter, and subsequently a waiter at ft cook-shop. Mr. HALL —It i s a case which I must notice. ' The both t his prisone r , w h ose character I fear has been rather l oose, night runs off with money entr us t e d to hi s ca re the very first fore y mpl o o u y r e d s . a k eI and should fo r therec recommend me o n f d o y t yon, to follow it up.

The .Magistrate then directed the evidence to be taken, and said he should- sen d . the • ‘> to the Old Bailey for trial.prisoner The officer who took the prisoner in Fetter-lane, stated that on asking him what he had done with the money which he had taken at the pit door, he said, "Oh, it's in my pocket all right'enough ;" but on searching him he . found only 81. 19:.4.

WORSHIP-STREET. James Cooke, a well-dressed young man, was on Mon day brought before the magistrate from the police station, and charged with violently assaulting policeman White, 105 G. . The defendant, it appeared, had been at the Grecian Saloon, and he afterwards went to the shop of Mr. Phil lips, a tobacconist., in Bath -street, City-road, to get a cigar, which he wanted to smoke in the shop. That be ing objected to, he became exceedingly abusive, refused to quit the shop, and assaulted the occupier and a Mr. Letilla, who was there. The policeman was called in to eject him, in which he had great difficulty, and when outside the defendant knocked him down and cut iris head, and also tore his clothes. The policeman had evidently been exceedingly ;mal treated. The defendant said, by way of explanation of his con duct, that he went into the shop for a cigar, which he desired to smoke there, and words ensuring ho admitted that he did strike the parties, but he said he was very roughly treated by\the policeman. Inspector Shackell said he behaved very violently in the station-house, and declared that he would have run a knife into the constable if he had had one. Mr. BINGHAM sentenced him to pay 4 4 fine, or be imprisoned for the assault upon the policeman. The defendant sent to some friends for the money, and having paid it was discharged out of custody. HATTON-GARDEN. On Monday Charles Forrester, a portly-looking mit* aged 34, whose manners and appearance indicated de rangement of intellect, and who was described in the po lice sheet as a chemist, residing at No. 2, William street, Chalk-road, Islington, was placed at the bar, be fore Mr. GREENWOOD, charged by Fincombe, No. 111, N division, with having wilfully fired off a loaded pistol at him, whilst drunk, with intention to murder him. Mr. Flower, the solicitor of Hatton-garden, was re tained by the fricilds of the prisoner to conduct the de fence. Fincombe, 111 N, having been sworn, stated that on Saturday evening last, about half-past five o'clock, he was on duty in the Chalk-road, Islington, when his attention was attracted by a disturbance near the Sutton Arms public-house, and he observed the prisoner and another man in contact with each other, the prisoner having a tight hold of the man. Witness proceeded to the spot, and told the prisbuer to let the man go, or he (witness) would take him t6` the station-house. The prisoner would not let him go, and he said he would neither do so nor go to the station-house ; on which witness laid hold of the prisoner's collar and separated them. He pulled the prisoner along a short distance, when he let him go, and walked along, speaking mildly to him, and he walked with witness as far as William -street, but he refused to tell where he lived. A man came up and asked witness Why he was ill-using the prisoner, and told him to leave him alone. Witness said he should not. The prisoner was a great deal the worse for liquor. Whilst the man was speaking to witness the prisoner dragged kiinself away from witness, and pull ing a pistol from his right-hand-pocket, he exclaimed. " I)—n your eyes, I will give it to you," when he heard him cock the pistol, and as the prisoner was proceeding backwards he raised the pistol to present at him, when the witness rushed upon him and struck him on the breast and knocked him down, and as he was falling he pulled the trigger, and the pistol went ofF, but the contents missed witness, and passed near a man who was a short distance from the spot, who had a narrow escape with his life. The pistol went off very loud. The prisoner, after he had fired, got up from the ground, an d :: e said to witness, "You would have had it safe enough ham you not knocked me down." He then put his hand into . hi.; left-hand pocket, when witness rushed upon him, and 11..:ra — is;:al until assistance arrived, and on searching his left-band pQCl:et another pistol, now produced, was found, which, on examination, was dis covered to be loaded with two balls. Sergeant Scott. N division, sworn, stated that two pistols were brought to the station-house, and one of them contained two balls. The prisoner said, "If he (meaning Fincombe) had had tho contents of the pistol, it would - have served him out," Mr. nowna said thit the prisoner and his friends were highly respectable . ; but he (the prisoner) was of unsound mind, and he had a certificate to that eiFcct, which he now preduded to the bench. Dr. M'Cree, a medical gentleman, said that he did not consider the prisoner to be of sound mind. He was dan gerous to himself and to others. le had been in the habit of carrying prusske,acid about his person. Mr. G REENWOOD said lie would eventually commit the prisoner to take his trial, but he would now remand him, in order that the officers might produce further necessary evidence on the day of the next examination. The prisoner vvas'then taken from the bar in an excited state, and directionS were given that a strict watch should be kept upon him, and in the course of the day he was conveyed to prison. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. George Price, and John Price, two respectably dressed youths, brothers, were placed at the bar before Mr. Hardwick, the presiding Magistrate, charged with throwing logs of wood and stones among the trees in Kensington Gardens; for the purpose of knocking down chestnuts. At every throw they broke off or injured some of the young branches; and damage to such a consider able extent to the 'timber growing in the gardens, had been done during the summer, that his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, as head ranger, has issued orders that the keepers should take into custody whoever was found so offending. . . One of the gardeners employed in the grounds stated that a number of trees were every season completely destroyed ; the stones bruised the bark of the young branches, and the wet getting into the wood, rotted, and extended over the whole tree. Mr. llAnowicK said a stop must be put to such a mis chievous practice, and fined thg defendants ss. each, or, in default, seven days' imprisonment in Tothill-fields Bridewoll. SALE AT VAUXHALL. The dismantling.. of this. heretofore popular place of amusement was commenced yesterday by the sale of all the moveables, including . several valuable picture's painted by Hogarth for Mr., Tyers, who was proprietor and manager of the Gardens somewhat more than a century since, and to -whom we are indebted for the Vauxhall as it has' continued to our time. The cataloguing of these pictures exhibits some ludicrous specimens of 'Misapprehension- on the part of the worthy auctioneer; for instance, the picture re presenting Jobson Nell and the Conjuror is catalogued as " The Reproof of the Drunken Cobbler," the eata loguer having taken.a leaf out of the conjuror's own book, and transformed that worthy personage into a Reve rend President of some temperance society—a Protestant Father Mathew. The orchestra is not included in the sale as .being attached to the freehold ; it is the property of Mr. Foster;; but alas ! it is only reprieved for a short time. Mr. Foster has purchased the ground for building, and the days of the orchestra are numbered. Who could have imagined when • this orchestra was first erected, upwards of a een tury since, that it would have outlasted every theatre then standing in London, with the exception of Sadler's Wells ? Yet so it is, this wooden erection, which during o:ie half . the year has' been every night hung round e ith thousands of lamps, which for a century has been playing, as it were, with fire, has escaped un damaged. while Drury-lanes, and Covent-Gardens, and and Lyeeums, and Astleys, cum multis aliis, have been all destroyed. Weliope that an accurate drawing will laJ made of this orchestra, previous to its destruction. Its history is the history of English music for the last ' century. It has been the throne of every conductor of eminence, from Arne to Jullien, and it has witnessed the triumphs of Mars, and Billington, and Sto race, and Braliarn, .and Stephens, and Grisi. It is a classical building to every lover of music, and ()Tiered are we to know its destruction is inevitable. Vauxhall, this morning, bore- the appearance of " some banquet-hall- deserted ;" mirrors and pictures removed from their places, and going pell-mell with crockery ware, kitchen utensils, lamps, and knifes noted as having ,cut the thiuneie 'Slices of ham ever seen through. The `ir,oriiint'vittis'ait,'`and the attendance at the Gardens i . 'ery thin, constutiently everything was sold very cheap, the brokers haVtiig it all their own way.

De Lasaux, Esq., the CorOner for East Kent, to inquire into the cause of the death of a kentlernau" who had been found in a shrubbery near Kearsney Abbey, lying on his face in, _le - Witch, Mr. - Fector's gardener. From a passport'fotind on the person of the deceased, it ap peared that his name was Charles Adolphus Morris -13eester At. Breslau . , Germany, and by pro lfession a medical doctor. His native place is supposed , t4be Ausland. He , was 37 years of age, dark corn plexion, and stood five feet four inches German measure, .er about five feet eight inches English. H i s passport was dated ()steed, SePteinber 3, 1841, and he came to Dover by theoStearpacket. On his arrival he went to the PrOvidenCelnn;llid after staying a few days went to Canterbury, where 'be - remained a fortnight. He re turned to Doier on Saturday week. The last ti me he was seen alive on, Monday week , whe n he entered . into conversation ut 'considerable length with a gentle man,- to whom he stated that he had been out to look at Kearsney Abbey, and the village of River. He stated he came from Germany, being under great depression of spirits from unrequitted love ; he, howeve, h o said, intended to return in a few weeks. He was dressed in a black frock-coat, black silk waistcoat, and black trousers. He had also a gold watch and guard when he first landed at Dover, and, it is said, a considerable deal of money and other property; but there was no Money found on him when discovered by the gardener ; and- we have not heard that any one knows where his property is, save a travelling cloak, which is still at the Providence. The cause of death is still *mystery, alth oug h t h ere is too much reason to be lieve it was his ow voluntary act. T he Jur y , after con• siderable considtatio n , returne d a verdict of — " Found dead." He was interred yeste rda Y mornin g , in the a church-yard at River.--Dover Chronzele. The country is full 01 small-pox, the fruits of unprincipled venders of infection, who thereby profit by a horrid trade. We hope the police and the Poor-law officers will keep a strict look-out for those fellows, whose punishment, according to' the 3d and 4th Victoria, is there months' ireprisonraeut.—Enniskillen Reporter.

The policy to be pursued by the new expedition nearly us much the reverse as possible of that previously persisted in. The conditions primarily propounded are once more to be offared. ' These of course will be re fiiSed, and ulterior measures proceeded with. The strictest blockade along the southern and western coast will be immediately instituted. No ships will be per mitted to enter or to leave the river. Peace and war cane not co-exist ; and we have now for the first time to teach the Chinese that we are really in earnest; that we are not paltering with them in a double sense=-battering their forts, and more than paying for the damage we hive done by the enormous prices given in specie for their teas. Great care will be taken to avoid unnecessarily irritating the people of Canton, who are understood to be on the whole favourably disposed towards us. It is not with a help less populace but with an arrogant nation that we war. The expedition after this will sail northward, and oc cupy the beautiful island of Amoy, deeply embayed in the main land opposite the middle of the great island of Formosa. Front this a part ot the force will proceed in the direction of Chusan, which will not, however, we believe, be taken possession of till a good many months hence ; the sickness having been so prevalent last Sep tember and October that it is considered better to let these months pass over before we trust our troops into a locality where hist season so many of them found graves. Ning-po, however,. on the main land, opposite Chusan, will be occupied as a place where communication with the interior, and good • provisions may probably be se cured, and whence descent on Chusan can easily be made, whenever such a measure is considered expe dient. Here and at Amoy the expedition will re main fur six months—the delay at honie of making the new appointments after Admiral Elliot's re signation had been intimated, and his namesake's misconduct admitted, having cost us another year. So soon as the tempests blow over, and the Yel low Sea becomes again 'accessible, the Plenipotentiary will proceed in person to Pekin, accompanied by the greater part of the squadron as far as ships of such bur den can be navigated in safety, and will probably have his first interview with the Emperor under the 68-pounder batteries of the Nemesis, Phlegethon, Proserpine, and Pluto, iron steamers. Ulterior measures after this, of course, must as yet be matters of eoecture, but what has been just stat e d, s o f ar as it extends, may, we think, be relied on. The intention, of course, is to compel from the Ce lestials instant indemnification for all our public and private losses ; compensation for the expense of the expedition required to constrain their own in sanity, and to chastise their crimes ; with full and ample atonement for the insults which we have endured at their hands. These things refer alone to the past. The Plenipotentiary is authorised to insist on such commercial treaties as may ensure the maintenance of trade on an equitable footing for the future, so as to avoid the chance of such Misunderstandings and col lisions as those which have already occurred, or the necessity of such rough remedies as that just about to be applied to cure them. Of course, With a power which recognises no virtue in treaties—no obligation in the most sacred agreements longer than they are considered beneficial to itself ; which from the Emperor down wards to the meanest mandarin is not only false as the father of lies, but ostentatious and proud of falsehood ; no merely diplomatic document, however minute, can avail us ; and force or fear alone must compel observance, We cannot for ever keep our fleet in the' Chinese seas to protect us from tree. chery ; and, therefore, we are left no alternative but to seize and retain portions of territory adequate to prOtect ourselves against the practice of those principles of uni versal bad faith which the Chinese have chosen to pre scribe to themselves in all public arrangements, in con tradistinction to the rest of the human Imes throughout the earth. The views expressed by the mission which has just left us are those of men not to be trifled with ; and now, for the first time since Tartar arrogance ruled in China, will the fatal error into which we have so in variably fallen, be corrected, of fostering the belief that the Celestial empire is above and beyond the rules which regulate human conduct throughout the world, and that she is entitled to give law to, and spurn and abuse, at her pleasure, every member of the human race in turn.

TEA.—A series of public sales was brought forward to" day, consisting of 9,039 pkgs, which being the first since the arrival of the important news from China, attracted an unusually large assemblage of the trade and others interested in the article, and much anxiety was evinced as to the result. At the opening a much better feeling was manifested on the part of the trade to purchase Shan had previously been anticipated, which increased as the sales proceeded, and. as the importers mostly gave good support, higher prices were obtained for the lower qualities of Black Tea, the proportion of which in the sales was small ; the finer sorts of Black, together with most kinds of Green Tea were however a shade cheaper.
