The Sun. — London, England, 1841-12-01 00:00:00

Nathaniel Aleiander, Esq., examined—l reside at Clapham Common. I was formerly engaged as a mete I chant in Calcutta, and was present at the marriage of the plaintiff, which took place in May, 1828. I was on terms of intimacy with Captain Sewell cad his wife. He appeared to he, extremely kind, and devotedly fond of her. They hid . two Sons and two daughters. Mrs. Sewell" is 'a da'aightet of Colonel Hay: In the beginning of February, 1841, I was consulted regardiii some let ters that had been addressed to the plaintiff regarding the conduct of his wife. 'I then, in company, consulted a barrister ' a mutual friend, on the subject, and it was de termined to take immediate steps to ascertain the truth of the rumours. Colonel James Young, of 28, Albion-street, Hyde park, examined—l left India in January 1840, and ar rived in England in June following. I had been on terms of intimacy with plaintiff and his wife in India. At the rimiest of Captain Sewell, I called on Mrs. Sewell, and invited her' . to visit myself and daughter. She promised to do so, bat did not. I know that the plaintiff's income was about 1,2001. per year. I consider the allowance of 9001. per year to his wife was more than be could well afford. I remember the defendant corning to India, and I have witnessed the plaintiff's exceeding kindness to him when he met with the accident. Dr. James Ronald Martin, of 17, Dower Grosvenor street, examined—l attended Captain Sewell's family in India; and was on terms of intimacy with them. In 1838, Mrs. Sewell tient up the country, and caught the fever. I then considered her removal to this country absolutely necessary ; and Captain Sewell, acting upon my adVice, sent her with her two daughters to England. Thee. Kerr, of Oxtord-terace, examined—Mrs. Sewell came to my house on the sth of November, 1838, but only remained there until the 26th of the same month She removed to Blandford street, and denied me the op portunity of seeing her children. I have often observed that the window blinds were always down. I afterwards visited the children by the plaintiff's order. The letters produced are in Mrs. Sewell's handwriting. (Two let ters were here headed in.) Mr. James' Clark, of the firm of Messrs. Denny, Clark, and Co., East India merchants, Austin-friars, proved the annual payment of 900/. to Mrs. Sewell. Ann Woodhain examined.—My husband is clerk to a house agent, and I reside in Boston-place, Dorset-square. During the latter part of 1839, I was in Mrs. Sewell's service. Defendant was a constant visitor there. lle had two dinners daily, one at one o'clock, and the other at six o'clock. He used to come frequently to the six o'clock dinner, and remain as late as twelve, one, two, and three o'clock. The children used to be put to bed at seven o'clock. W hen the defendant was with Mrs. Sewell, she used to tell me to deny her to other visitors. They frequently went to the theatre together, and I have seen them both very intoxicated. This witness was pro ceeding to prove the adulterous intercourse, when The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said it was unneces sary, as the defendant had admitted his guilt, by suffer ing judgment to go by default. Examination resumed—The blinds of the house were studiously kept down. Sometimes the defendant and Mrs. Sewell quarrelled, and the latter was in the habit of repeatedly sending the former money. On one occa sion I knew she sent him x 101. note. Elizabeth Keene and other witnesses proved that the defendant and Mrs: Sewell had frequently slept together, and the following letters were then read " August 14, 1840. "MY DEAREST Tom—l have received your letter, dated June 8, via the Persian Gulf, and shall at once commence on money matters. I know not why, my dearest, you do not send me the 250/. I want. I would not dream of asking it, if it was not actually neces sar y. I You must recollect that have never been enabled to commence my year free, and have been obliged always to break into my quarter to pay old bills. This leaves me in debt and misery. I drew two or three days ago my allowance, 225/. ; 461.115. I. paid Miss Berry ; 21/. odd to Miss Black ; I have to pay the boys' tailor's bill, not less than 131. I bought them new hats, shoes, gloves, and fresh collars to their shirts, in short, I may say, almost a new refit. The difference in the house bills would astonish you, for they are all hearty eaters, and you cann o t stint them, pour things ; I can honestly affirm that the money goes in household expences, and on them. For myself I do - not suppose I eat two ounces during the day, neves, like Rebecca, feeling hungry ; and as for my dress, though genteel and lady-like, itis most plain, as! think i t a sin buying costly things t o lie in the drawer. I never go out, and if I was asked to a ball, would be obliged to get a dress for the occasion, so do not think that on myself it is spent, though, my dear old man, there was a time that if it had been you would hate gloried in it. You have no idea how dear everything is in the eating. way ; children must eat, so must servants, and though mine, I must do them the justice to say, are steady and ecomenical, still they must be fed. Washing is enor mous ; I have tried a dozen and they cannot do it on my terms. I tried by the piece, I tried by the dozen, all brought in the same bill. You may think 900/. a large sum, but Tom, you know not England ; for myself I never wish to hate anything to do with money, it frets me to death, and I am sure my health is not improved by it. I have been very far .from well ; I have had a return of my nervous fit and palpitation at the heart—it is mind I am sure is the cause, fur I fret to death about this quarter. I leave in November next, and the sums I shall have to pay for the breakage of furniture and crockery ware, those nasty servants did almost drive me mad. Oh Toni could yon but see my sleepless nights you would, if you have not lost all love, send me the money on receipt of this, it will be just in time to spare me much anxiety on leaving this house, and make me clear ere I ester another. Do not. send it to Denny— they seize hold of every thing for themselves. In one of your former letters you mentioned having remitted 40 N. I wrote to them about it, and they said it was to repay themselves for my allowance—always, my old man, see about tliis yourself, trust not to others—and now I shall say no more abOut money, knowing your love for your old woman will not let her pine in want—but send the money immediately on receipt of thiS, it will just be in time, and you shall have fond fond kisses in return when I see you. And now for our boys. I took thgn to school last Tuesday, and, with a sad sad heart, Ayou may imagine, even now I have not recovered my spirits. I miss their merry faces and laugh. The house just seems as if there was a death in it, all so still. They were very loth to go, for they had been so happy at 1 home they said. I took them once to Astley's, and three times to the play, for Mr. Farmer, one of these ' times, got a private box lent to him, and kindly gave it to us. I also took them to Greenwich, and showed them the Chapel and the Picture Gallery. They really were happy, for Henry loves any water trip. They also went to Gravesend one day, and you should have seen dear Henry. His eyes were nearly starting out of his head with delight at the shipping. I never saw a child • so happy, and just a sight of the salt water did us all good. Henry forgot his pencil, but on his re turn home drew one or two of the ships. He is very fond and has an eye for shipping, though he says he will be like papa, a soldier. Willy says he will be a sailor, because he intends to do nothing but fish and get whales and sharks. Yet, my dear Tom, you must sup pose that we did nothing but skylarking, as the boys call it, duringthe holidays; fur owing t o M r : F armer ' s great kindnes's,.and interest fOr' them, he used to call or an evening %Wuxi disengaged, and hear them their les- Henry's ' improvement in Latin; French; and sons. former, . , ----- _ . arithmetic was astonishing---the f owing, I sup pose to his • being . taught by a lady was awfully pro nounced, but was easily, as I suspect, rectified. French he has a taste for, and soon caught up the true accent. His sums would have gladdened you. - IVhen he came liwne, he was in simple addition, and during the holi days went through division, subtraction, multiplication, and got into compound division, that is summing, up of pounds, shillings, and pence. Willy, too, gets on fa mously. He read sadly, but Mr. F. seeing this turn, made him a present of a little book called the " Adven tures 'of a Donkey," and .‘ Essop's Fables." This was nuts to Willy ; any thing in the beast and bird way is his delight, and instead of being listless and indifferent, it used to be, Oh ! Mr. Farmer, do bear me first, I have such a funny story about • so and so, and the fits of laughter I used to and gape, &c., but was too thankful for the advantage to s ay one word ; he is still in tow n and at his de'Sk. Entre nous, I am a little surprised at his continuire , so long at it, as I "ou 1 d imagine it was not in his line, but the gentleman who put him in is trying for the direction, and should he ' succeed. will take Mr. Farmer by the hand. I have, no doubt, his niece is to be married this month, and after a trip on the Continent will reside in London ; th's will be a comfort for him.

I shall try and procure a small cottage a little way from town, but not far from the boys, it bill be cheaper and more healthy. I thank (lod, my dear old man, you keep your health —spirits yOu never fail in. I was indeed sorry to hear Rebecca had been ill, she orTht not to over exert herself, and a three-storied house is no joke. Tell her with my kind love that if she ever wishes to see me she must promise immediately on hearing I have sailed a Captain Trelawney's chair, and two sturdy bearers to hoist me np, or I shall break a blood vessel in mounting., I shall not be sorry to see her pale face again. Tell her she and I will often have a chat when you young folks are gaddi ng about. You will never get me t o b a ll s and parties--only a play, remember. I ant going down hill, and . time tell s more on woman than on man. You must not believe what that naughty Dutton says ; we took a mutual fancy f or eac h other,' and therefore she sees me all couleur du rose. I hav e no mock modesty about me, but I tell you candidly I am not likely to eclipse any married woman or spinster, though I do not think I shall be the worst looking. Do not forget to remember me to her. You say in your letter you are sorry to have cut the Kerrs. Why, dear Torn, you must have changed your mind, for every letter almost is teeming with wishes , for me to keep the boys from beyond her baneful influ ence, which I truly found it to be. I came to this con clusiim of cutting from mature deliberation, and not on impulse. I assure you had I told you half, you would alter your opinion. All I can eay is this, I should . never interfere with your visiting eftr branch of my fa mily that you please, though I solemnly declare I Will never speak or visit to the Kerrs again. The Rhodeses are too insignificant to speak about. Ido not go there, nor do I wish to put myself to the trouble of seeing her when she calls, but if I met her in the street should shake bands and speak. I have had quite enough of them ; •hate them too dearly. Many, many thanks, my dear Tom, for the curry paste, tooth-powder, and humps. Do not send me any more humps, I do not eat them, and our pets do not care about them. I inclose you a list of what I want you to send me yearly, alto a commission to get some muslin dresses worked for me, which put in hand immediately you get this. The beasts of Custom • house officers only left me two white dresses, and you cannot imagine the comfort and blessing they h ave b een to me this ht weather. You cannot get handsome worked dresses for love or money in this country. Have them hand somely worked according to my directions, and make your old Wife look smart. You know when I have a thing I like it to be good and very handsome- Send for Kinruw; he will understand my directions. Do this, old pet, imme diately on the receipt of this, for I really want them. Do not forget the China work you have. Send also my Berhampore silks. Did Captain Hawkins think of my shawls? They would be a godsend here. Kinrow will bring you lots of choose the patteins .. . yourself. I like it best, and Your taste is good. You cannot fail to understand my directions. Read them'taKinrow, and say like what the Mansahib had before. Tell him I shall write you if badly worked. Do this for me, my own dear husbanil, and put them in hand as soon as you get this.

Your dear girl sends many kisses, and if not overburthened with younger ones, accept as many as inclination leads you from " Your affectionate, attached wife, " Finished Aug. 15, 1840." "M. S. SEWELL." " Me DEAR TOM—In my last 1 think I mentioned having with Mr. Sutherland paid Bruce Castle a visit, I must endeavour, though briefly, as this is the last day, giving you an idea of what I saw. We went all over the grounds, which are extensive and prettily laid out. It is in a retired spot, and I should think very healthy, and the general appearance of the boys does not contra dict this. We also saw the different rooms set apart for the masters and their classes. There is also a laboratory and carpenter's shop, in which those whose tastes lie that way amuse themselves. The system of education Mr. S. asked much about, and appeared quite pleased. Deft that to him while I looked over the bed-rooms, which are clean and well arranged. The only thing that struck me as differ ent was order in the dining-room, they were all as sembled as we passed. and the style, first come first served, seemed to prevail. I saw one youth stooping over his plate, reading a book he had placed before his mug, at the same time filling his mouth to its utmost capability ; but this very likely was occasioned by the absence of one of the Masters, who was with us, and I have no doubt the boy thought it was no bad plan to give food for body and mind at the same time. I must own the gymnastics frightened me with regard to my poor thin boys ; but they say no accident has happened, so I must be content. I told Mr. Hill I could not give a decided answer until I heard from you, and that Michaelmas would be the earliest period that I could place him there. I have not at all compromised myself, and therefore if you have heard of another school that you prefer you can let me know. I went on Wednesday to Greenwich. Mr. Sutherland kindly remained at home to introduce me to Mrs. Cousins. With this school lam really pleased ; it is situated in the most healthy part of Greenwich, close to the Park ; the house is most comfortable, in short, more like a private dwelling than a school. I saw all the bed-rooms, and Maggie's bed, the school-room, the parlours where the masters give them music and singing lessons, and even the kitchen, for we passed through it to go to the garden. The lady was most anxious to let me see all, and pressed Maggie and myself to join the dinner-table, but I was afraid of disturbing them ; she said they all dined to gether—no separate dinners—and to judge from the bill of fare, which consisted of mackerel, roast mutton, beef-steak pie, and cold beef, they must live well. As Maggie is losing time, I decided to place her there at once, and I take her on the 17th ; she is to learn dancing by a master, music at present by a lady, and when more advanced the master, reading, writing, &c. It is my intention, should you approve of the school, sending Gussey at Midsummer, but these arrangements remain for your approval and decision. Miss Sutherland, the short time I had for judging, appears a nice quiet girl, with more command of manner than you would expect from one whose knowledge of the world can only be gained by school experience. Mr. S. dines with me on Sunday, and brings his daughter, he is an excellent good-hearted man, and I like him. About the 250 I can honestly affirm, I owe every sou s . C ou ld I save out of 900, I should not have allowed you to remit me that sum per annum. Once clear of all my debts, I have but too severe a lesson ever to exceed the sum you allow me. Maggie and Gussie send many kisses. My boys I hope to see on Thursday. Give my love to William Hickey. lam going next week to see dear 1)r. Martin with Mr. Sutherland. " Yours affectionately, " M. S. SEWELL." " 93, Albany-street, Regent's Park. "Mr DRAB SEWELL,—Your letter, dated 17th Decem ber, 1639, 1 received on my arrival in town from an en gagement at Brighton, where I had been playing what is called the leading business, i.e. the principal characters. The critics, and the (discerning part of the p u bli c , a bu se my tragedy actin g sa dly, but, like my light, comedy and old-men. I am now at a pause, gathering resolution to eschew tragedy for ever, and also, in obedience to my sister's wishes, trying to obtain sonic official situation in stead of seeking the means of living by the stage, but get nothing but kind assurances. I shall not be forgotten, the first opportunity that presents itself. I doubt whether a month or two may not see me hard at it again. I have got through the early difficulties tolerably well, having contracted no debts save one with Stockqueler and Co., who have kindly advanced me small sums of money when required ; this I calculate paying by my next benefit, or, if I can obtain an appointment, my sister has promised to start me clear. So John Peter Grant and his cheap Secretary contrived to burn the theatre. Bravo, bravissimo ! If you build another I advise you, as a friend, not to subscribe a rupee. If Mr. G. is to be in the management no gentlemen or respectable man will ever submit to his penny wise and pound foolish fan tasies, and such a one should be Secretary and House Manager, or vulgar and low people creep into the party, and drive gentlemen amateurs away, by which the drama gees to pot, and the sweet converse of the green room grows harsh. L. Clarke, though a troublesome man to the Committee..was the best manager ; he and I did one or two good things, we got up plays with profit, at a season when the rest said we were daft, and we fought the Italian clique, and finally beat them ; when the rest were pizzoni mad, our M.'s resigning. I felt James Young and the other fat men get the better of me, and from that time I never got a good benefit': Do You re- Member my Cabinet dinners, my friends the Came ronians, and the report of the Champagne corks? Sir, they were social outpourings - of the spirit. The next best things I enjoyed in Calcutta were your Sunday tiffins ; how we did drink the pale cool from the refrige rator, and argufy on the construction of the groat globe itself,•and whether 'inch were' made fram monkeys, or monkeys from men. What have you done with my chemicals ? pray send them when you have an opportu nity, and if you could pack' up d feW genuine manillas, certifying the same, say 250, I cannot afford to pay duty for more. Mrs. Sewell will tell you probably I have been of some little service to her. When I came to town she was annoyed with bad servants. I saw the necessity of their immediate dis Charge, but Mrs. Sewell has acquired a notion from the Kerrs and Rhodeses that all servants are alike, and'so She kept thein till'they com pelled her to send them away: Imegine Mrs. Sewell re-' turning home from a dinner party, accompanied by a young gentlemen of the name of White, and - being obliged to get the policeman to open the door. She took the- servant to the police-station at a late hour s but they would nut take the woman in charge, as the complaint amounted only in the eyes, rather ears of the police, to negligence. lam happy to say she has got two respect able servants at present, 'one with a character of three years, the other eighteen months. Your dear children are at present at home till ,Stinday. I 'have taken them twice to the theatre, to Astley's and - COv-ent Garden. Dear little Augusta went with us at Astley's, she laughed arid enjoyed it to the end. You would have been delighted to see her. The boys are much improved, and are in excellent hands for a year.

FARMER." " British Empire Life Assurance Company, • 5, Whitehall, London, July 4, 1840. " MY DEAR SEwELL—A friend of my sister's, Mr. Fraser, late partner in the house of Arbuthnot and Co., Madras, has placed me here, with the • promise of fur thering my interests, if I can settle down to regular and steady habits of business ; I have gone on well as yet, and feel every disposition to continue to give satisfaction, and thereby secure the patronage of a rich and influen tial man. Igo to office at ten and remain till five, and have seven hours' quil-]driving without intermission. My companions in office are old gentlemen, so that I do not feel any comptinciion at giving up my roving life. Your children came home for the holidays some days ago, and I examined them on their improvement generally. Henry has learned a portion of the Latin grammar, but does not pronounce, or rather accentuate it classically, which may be accounted for from his being taught by a female, who seldom learns the proper quantities, and conse qeently cannot teach them. You will be pleased to hear that he has an excellent idea of the French language, and has a taste for it, which I mean to encourage during the six weeks he remains at home. He does his sums well, writes and reads fairly, and surprises me in draw ing for the time he has learned. He is such an amiable intelligent boy,. that I feel much pleasure in giving. an hour or two, on evenings that I am disengaged, to his further improvement. He prefers into being altogether idle, and it affords me much satisfaction to have it in my power to improve his stock of learning materially. Mind I do this en amcilenr, which makes it much more accept able than from a regular hired master. William's powers of acquiring are weak, but I think he will tit; well yet, as there is more physical indolence in it than want of mental power. Margaret is a shrewd clever child, and would be better off at home with her mother, than with the stupid old drone she returns to. I mentioned this waste of money in a former letter. Miss Berry's bills for the half year are high, but upon the ivhole the money is well bestowed, as they cannot be better off for a year or so. They are all delighted to see me when I call which I do as frequently as I can. • " Mrs. Sewell appears to have cut the Rhodeses and the Kerrs, which is the best thing she could do, as they led her into all sorts of troubles and extravagances during the first year o f h er re t urn ; an d, if I h a d had your au thority for interference, or rather suggesting a more steady attention to expenditure, I would have felt much pleasure in doing so, as I know Mrs. Sewell, for auld ac quaintance sake, would listen to me, if directed by y ou to do so. I have n o t ti me to wr i te muc h at present, but will answer your letter, should you send me one. Let me know all the theatrical news; and what part you have played ; how gets on, &c.

" Do not forget to say, if you have done anything with the chemicals, and send me a few cheroots, genuine Manillas. Do you ride in the morning ? lam afraid I shall not have the pleasure of sitting in the stern-sheets again. My niece, Mary Forsyth, is about to marry a man learned in the law, a Mr. Howard Penny. She has cash, and he has 'ditto, and good prospects. I expect they will reside in town, which will be agreeable for me, and extend my connexion." Mr. Burr said that was the plaintiff's case. The Learned UNDER•SRERIFF, having carefully re viewed the evidence, observed, that, in all cases of this kind, it was very difficult to decide by what scale com pensation could be awarded for the loss of a wife. The course taken by the plaintiff was the only remedy left open to him at civil law ; and the Jury should recol lect, that, in coming to their verdict, they were not sitting there to punish the defendant, but to compensate as much as possible, the plaintiff for the loss he had sustained. The Jury almost immediately awarded the plaintiff Damages—Two Thousand Pounds. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD C01.1.117'. PIRACY.—Levi Thomas, aged 21, and Wm. MClive, aged 21, were indicted for stealing one boat, and other articles, the property of John Temperley, upon the high seas, within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of Eng land. Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution. The prisonsrs were seamen on board the ship Jane, which, some time in the month of May of the present year, was lying off the coast of Mexico. Whilst the ship was lying there the two prisoners, together with t,wo others of the crew not yet in custody, went up to the mate, who had charge of the vessel in the absence of the Captain, and threatened to mur der him if be did not 'go below. The prisoners then seized the boat, and, taking some other property with them, made off. Through the instrumentality of the English Consul-at Mexico, the prisoners and another man named Jackson were apprehended. Jackson, however, broke prison in Mexico and escaped. The mate's watch was found on the prisoner Thomas when he was appre hended. Thomas, in his defence said, that at the time the oc currence took place, he was lying in the boat drunk, and was rowed ashore in that state, and that when he arrived in Mexico, he informed the Consul what had occurred. This statement, however, was contradicted by the wit nesses for the prosecution, who swore distinctly that Thomas was quite sober, and was the man who had threatened the mate. The RECORDER summed up, and the Jury found the prisoners Guilty. The prosecutor recommended Thomas to mercy on account of his previous good character. The ItlicorthEß said that from the evidence it would appear that Thomas was the worst of the two. Jolot Curter, aged 50, a most respectable-looking man, described in the calendar as a brewer, was indicted for obtaining by false representation:, certain moneys, with intent to defraud Messrs. Gates. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. I - lorry conducted the prosecu tion ; and Mr. C. Phillips and Mr. Bodkin appeared for the defence. From the evidence for the prosecution, it appeared that the prisoner had been employed by the Messrs. Gates, brewers, of Horsham, us agent for the disposal of their ales in London. It was, however, expressly directed by the Messrs. Gates that the prisoner should not on any account collect any money. The agreement was entered into in the month of February last. On the Nth of June there was a settlement of accounts, when it was discovered from an inspection of the prisoner's books that he had been collecting money. At that time there was a balance of 11. 10s. due to the prisoner above what he had collected. Prisoner was again told that he was not to collect, and that if he wanted money he was to apply to Messrs. Gates for a banker's order. At the prisoner's own request he had been allowed to accompany Messrs. Gates' clerk, when he went to collect. On the 27th July Mr. John Gates, one of the partners, having previously written to announce his arrival to the prisoner, went to the stores, and there seeing the pri soner said to him " Come to book at once." The pri soner said "I shall do no such thing, you may do your best or your worst," and walked away. It was subse quently discovered that Carter had received various sums of money from different customers, and he was given into custody. When the prisoner and the clerk went together to collect, the prisoner received the money from the cus tomers, and handed it over to the clerk. This arrange ment had been made in order to keep up the credit of the prisoner with the customers. Ou the cross-examination of the witnesses for the pro secution, it appeared that the prisoner had taken the stores in London;„ that he was accountable for the rent of them; that his name was over the door; that in the books of Messrs. Gates the ales were debited to the pri soner's account; that on one occasion the prisoner had collected 61., and handed it over to the clerk, when the latter said to the prisoner there must be money collected from somewhere; as he wanted to 'go to Horsham, that the prisoner had been authorised by the firm, to allow 5 percent. discount to the customers, on all ready-money transactions, and that in the bills he was represented as Gates's agent. Mr. C. Plumes addressed the Jury for the prisoner, and contended that the Messrs. Gates had their remedy against the prisoner by civil action, but could not proceed against him criminally, inasmuch as he had been held out by the prosecutors to the public, as autho rised to receive -the money from the customers, and therefore he could not be said to have received the money under false pretences. - 'r ho REC)RDER thought the false pretence not - proved legally, and the Jury acquitted the prisoner. _Henry Morton, aged 18, was indicted for stealing six pence, the property of William Hart, his master. The prisoner entered into the service of the prosecu tor, who keeps the White Swan Tavern, Ray-street, Clerkenvvell; as barman, "on 30th October last. Ilis master suspected that the prisoner was robbing him from the day he entered his service and on the Ist Novem ber he saw the prisoner receive sixpence of a customer, put it into his mouth, and walk out into the yard. The prisoner received a good character. • The Jury found him Guilty, but recommended him to mercy, and he was sentenced to two months' imprison anent, with hard labour. CHARGE OF FORGEIM_William Armstrong, aged 23, was indicted for feloniously uttering a forged cheque fur 21, well knowing the same to be forged, with intent to defraud Henry Hogg. The prisoher pleaded not guilty. John Gilpin, shopman to Mr. H. Hogg, hosier, Meet street, proved that on the 15th November, the prisoner came to his master's shop, and purchased hosiery goods to the value of 2.55., for the payment of which he ten dered a cheque, purporting to be drawn by E. Montague, on Mastermans, the bankers, in favour of Mr. Jackson, which the prisoner stated was his name, and that he re sided in Henrietta-street, Covent Garden. Mr. Hogg, on being applied to, • refused to cash the cheque, and asked the prisoner if he had any money at home. The prisOner said he had, and witness, by his master's orders accompanied the :prisoner, taking the goods with him. When they arrived at Tavistock-street the prisoner asked witness to go to Henrietta-street and deliver the goods, while he (the prisoner) waited in Tavisto;k-street. • Witness refuscd, and th e pri s me r said he did no t li ve t h ere, t h at h e h ad no money, and a:.k e d wit ness to ta k e the goods b ack to his master.

Ann Rolpinson, 28, N.EIV COURT Was indicted for stealing a quantity of books, value -- , ,/ ~ the p ro p er t y o f S amue l Ewins. Daniel It appeared that the prisoner, who was respectably at tired, called at the shop of the prosecutor in Marylebone, and looked at a quantity of Bibles, and subsequently or dered thirty-six to be sent to her residence, when she said she would pay for them. The errand boy of the prosecutor was sent with the books to the address give► by the prisoner, and delivered them. The prisoner told him, on his asking for the money, that she had not suffi cient change, but she would call on his master next day, and pay him. Soon afterwards she sent a note to the prosecutor, wishing to see him ; on his arrival she coolly said she could not pay him, and he must therefore sue her, as her difficulties rendered it necessary that she should pass through the Insolvent Debtors' Court, and if he would do so the books he had sent her should be restored to him. The prosecutor then called in a police man, and gave the prisoner into - custody. This being the case, the prisoner was asked what she had to say in her defence, when she stated that she did not intend to defraud or rob the prosecutor. She ordered and received the books for, the purpose of being sued, in order that she might pass the Insolvent Debtors' Court, as she was in difficulties. She was a.widow, and obtained her livelihood by selling prayer-books, &c. She said she was well known to the= prosecutor; as-she had dealt with him for some time. The prosecutor said this was true, but she had always paid him ready money for the articles she received. The Learned SERGEANT, in summing up, said he could not see that there was any felonious intention on the part of the prisoner, and the Jury accordingly returned a ver dict - of Not Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Benjamin Lambert was charged with obstructing the police in the execution of their duty. Sergeant Arnold stated that about a quarter past 12 on Sunday night, he met the prisoner and a person named Hadley in Long-lane. They informed him that they had 1, ft a horse and cart at the door of the Portland Arms for a few minutes, and that some one had taken it away. He accompanied them in search of the policeman on the beat to make the necessary inquiries, and they ultimately met with that policeman (Creaton) with the horse and cart under his charge. Creaton said that finding the horse and cart without a driver, IA had taken it off to the station-house, and that the inspector (Wood mile) had ordered him to impound it in the Green yard. On this, Hadley, the owner of the horse and cart, said something about making it all right to the police ' man for his trouble, but Creaton said he must obey the inspector's order, and proceed to the green-yard. Ihd ley swore that the horse and cart should not go to the green-yard, and seized the reins. He (the Sergeant) suspecting that a rescue might be attempted, had pre viously called another policeman (Davis) to his assist ance, and on Hadley seizing. the reins he himself seized Hadley, and immediately received a severe blow on the l e ft temple from him. Hadley then in turn seized him, and Davis drew his truncheon and plied Hadley with it to make him lose his hold, and Davis received several heavy blows in—return. He (the Sergeant) Ordered Davis to spring his rattle, which brought a fourth po liceman (Heygate) to the spot, who, with Davis, took Hadley off to the station-house, while Creaton proceeded to the green-yard with the horse and cart. He then Min self looked atter Lambert, and took him to the station house, where he found Hadley bleeding profusely, and, by the order of the inspector, he at once removed him to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. ALDERMAN—What did the surgeon at the hospital say to the man's wounds ? The serjeant said that the sur geon did not seem to think much of them, but he had re ported the man as unable to appear for some days to come. Thomas Creaton, 31, corroborated the evidence of the serjeant as to the horse and cart being found in the street, and Hadley seizing the reins when he told him of the inspector's orders that the horse and cart should be taken to the green-yard. Hadley struck both the serjeant and Davis, and they both beat him with their truncheons. Mr. PAYNE—When you found the horse and cart standing against the door of the Portland Arms, did you inquire at the house whether the owner was there ? Creaton said he did not think his duty required him to do so. Mr. PAYNE—I3ut if you had a grain of common sense you would have done so. The ALDERMAN asked if there was any certificate from the hospital as to Hadley's condition ? Inspector 'sVoodruffe said that he bad received a report from the surgeon that the man was not in a fit state to be removed. Hadley's wife asked the Alderman if she might be permitted to speak, and on the Alderman desiring her to do so, she said that she had seen her husband in the hos pital, and he was in a desperate state. She did not ex pect that he would leave the hospital alive. The ALDERMAN said it would be a serious matter for the policemen if such should be the result. Mr. PAYNE.—It is quite shocking that out of such a trifling case so much mischief should occur, and all for the want of a little discretion in the policemen. When they found the owner of the horse and cart, they should have gone back and informed the inspector so, and he would no doubt have ordered the horse and cart to be given up. The ALDERMAN—I do not blame the sergeant so much as the policeman Creatou, for he is the author of all the mischief. He is not fit to be an officer at all. There is no case against the man at the bar ; indeed, the case at present is more against the policemen than any other party. :Lambert must therefore be discharged, and we will. see what further steps are to be taken iu the busi-. ness when we have learned more of the condition of the man in the hospital. MARLBOROUG H-STREET. Joseph Adams, a middle-aged individual of vary dash ing appearance, who described himself as a merchant, and who some time since resided at No. 5, Manton-square, Piccadilly, was br o u g ht u p from Southampton in the custody of Mr. William Terry, the inspector of the po lice there, and placed at the bar before Mr. MALTBY, charged with obtaining goods under false pretences. The doings of this worthy in the Isle of Wight, were fully described in The San of Monday, by our Corre spondent at Cowes. After a short examination, the In spectorof the Southampton police stated that he had ascertained that the prisoner had carried on this system of swindling to an incredible extent, and that hosts of charges would be preferred against him, if remanded. The prisoner said he wished to be remanded, to allow him time to obtain professional assistance. He was remanded accordingly. UNION-HALL. _ _ . On Monday the case of Jane Graham, who dahlia' a man named Beevor as her husband, and under that sup position had assailed that person and his wife in the public streets, came on for rehearing before Mr. Cot tingham, the woman Graham having on the last exami• nation undertaken to produce evidence of his identity. When the case was called on Mr. COTTINGHAM. ad dressing Jane Graham, asked her if she had any addi tional evidence to prove that Beevor was her husband. She replied in the affirmative. Several witnesses were called, all of whom expressed their belief that the prisoner was not Graham. They said Graham had marks of small-pox. Mrs. Graham said that a good deal of stress had been laid on the fact of Graham being a little pock-marked; how easy it was for a man to conceal it, and she believed that he had recourse to some expedient to do it, and she now wished to put him to the test. She here pulled a small stone bottle out of her pocket, and also a clean towel, and' requested that the Magistrate would give her permission to wash Jerry Graham's face. She then proceeded' to pour water out of the bottle on the towel, rubbin g the latter over with soap. " Now," said she, " come forward, Jerry, my dar ling, and let me wash your sweet face, and let me see if I won't get out sortie of those pock-marks, as you calls them." While she was making these preparations there was great laughter in Court, which was even increased when she advanced towards Beevor, who shrunk back, " ifyou shall touch my face with that towel; how chef know but that the bottle contains vitriol, end that she wants to scald the eyes out of my head,"— (Laughter.) Mr. COTTINGHAM—I dare say you would have no ob jection to stand the test she proposes, when it is aster tallied that there is nothing of a deletrious nature in the bottle, and that it is merely " aqua pura." " Try what it is," added the Magistrate to a policeman who was standing by. The poheemara took the towel from Mrs. Graham, and, having applied it to his nose, smelt it, and said that it was nothing but Water and soap, and that he would not be afraid to apply it. He then rubbed over his face with the towel. " Now, Jerry," exclaimed Mrs. Graham, " are you satisfied that I intended you no harm. Now will you let me wash your face?" Beevor declared that he would not permit her to touch him, but ; that he had no objection to any other person using the towel. Upon which the police man went up to him and commenced rubbing his face all over, Mrs. Graham during the time desiring that he would rub his nose well, for it was on that prominent part of the face that the witness said Jerry Graham had marks of the small-pox. When this operation was over, the Magistrate desired Mrs. Graham to examine Bee vor's face to convince herself that there were no marks of the description alluded to there, and it was highly amusing to witness th e m anne r in which he stretched out his neck fbr the purpose, while she was staring in his visage to detect the imposition, as she termed it. Beevor—.l have no marks of the small-pox about me, "and snrely,,, said he to Mrs. Graham, "you will be satisfied now, and let me alone from henceforth." Mrs. Graham—lndeed, Jerry, I'm not a bit satisfied after• all. Mr. COTTINGIIAM said that he thought the inquiry had been carried quite far enough ; that Beevor's face had been well rubbed, and he was willing to undergo any other ordeal to convince the woman that he was not the man for whom she t oo k hi m. It was qu i te ev id ent t h at Mrs. Graham was labouring under the delusion that Beevor was her husband, notwithstanding the evidence that was produced to negative such a supposition. How ever that man and his wile must be protected from such a system of tumoyance as had been pursued towards them, and he (the Magistrate) should, therefore, have some security that Mrs. Graham would not persevere in such conduct and that the sooner she disabused her mind on the subject the better, for it would be an ex ceedingly awkward dilemma for her if her husband re that she was perpetually turned one of those days from Swan River, and found claiming hint_ as her husband. The Magistrate then ad judged Mrs. Graham to enter into her own recognizance in the atm of 201,, and find two sureties of lei. each to annoying another man, and keep the peace. AWFUL ACCIDENT.—On Thursday, James Malone, the son of the respected Barrack-Sergeant of Ballineollig, whil e shooting in company with two lads, on the lands of Mr. Joshua-Sullivan, near Ballincollig, and in the act of drawing the gun up a hedge, was killed on the spot, leavi ng his afflicted parents and friends to lament the sudden bereavement of this fine and much loved youth. An inquest was held on Monday on the body by F. Baldwin, Esq., and a verdict returned by the Jury of " Accidental Death,"---Cork Southern Reporter. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

HONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. POST.—The new Spanish Minister, Senor Sancho, has, - we find, reached London, as was anticipated. The Commissioners charged with the Three per Cent. capitalisation of the coupons of the Active Debt may be looked Ibr almost immediately. The failure of the small, but respectable, bank ing -house of Messrs. Hector and Co, of Peters field, of which some mention was made in the City on Saturday, appears, unfortunately, to be confirmed. The liabilities of the concern are estimated at 30,0001. The effect of the failure of the Chichester Old Bank, recently made public, on the local interests of the neighbourhood, was, from all accounts, greatly mitigated by the seasonable interference of some members of the Lennox - family, and other influential residents of that part of the country ; but, although Messrs. Hector and Co. are said to be sanguine as to the payment of a good dividend, we do not hear that they have as yet been able to make any arrangement that can be attended with pre sent benefit or relief to the holders of their notes, and creditors generally. CHRONICLE.—The banking-house of Hop kins, Druid, and Co., of Arundel, has been com pelled to suspend payments. In these alarming times of monetary pres Sure and commercial dis tress, the fluctuations or contractions and expan sions that have taken place in the currency ne cessarily demand attention and inquiry. We have frequently traced back the serious contrac tions in the currency to the stringent operations which the Bank of England was compelled to adopt in self-defence, after the abstraction of 7,000,0001. of gold from her coffers in a few months of the year 1839, to pay for food to the people after the bad harvest of 1838, whereby the gold in the Bank coffers was pulled down from 9,600,000/. in December, 1838, to 2,500,0001. in August of 1839. We have shown repeatedly, by facts and figures, that from that time to the present the Bank has been labouring hard, and that with all her appliances of the screw the Di rectors have never got much over 5,000,0001. of specie in their coffers since that time, and at the present the stock of bullion does not exceed 4,500,000/., while it is threatened with a spring drain to pay for further importations. The cir culation of the Bank drooped from 20,249,409/. in July, 1838, to 15,823,000/., in December, 1839; and in December, 1840, it stood at 15,714,2001., while the 'bullion at the last-named period was only 3,942,000/. These are clear results from plain causes. VICTORIA THEATRE. A drama was produced on Monday night at this theatre entitled The Two Locksildths. It is a translation from the French, and contains a great deal of hatred and re venge, with a little repentance just at the end. The scene is laid in London, and the plot turns upon the fact of a rich banker having in his possession a will of his brother, long since dead, In this will are three legatees, the banker aforesaid, his sister, and his nephew. The banker of course is a villain of the first water, and therefore has kept the nephew out of his property, or the trifling fortune of fifty thousand pounds. It is needless, however, to give the plot or criticise the piece. It was not successful, but the audience, with great good nature, listened to it with calm resignation.—Mr. Paul, who is an excellent actor, takes his benefit this evening, which we hope will be equally gratifying to himself and a numerous audience. PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. The second Half-yearly General Meeting of the Pro prietors of this Company was held yesterday at the Office, No. 51, St. Mary Axe, for the purpose of declaring a dividend and receiving the Report from the Board o Directors, for the half-year ending the 30th of Sep tember. We are prevented from giving a report of th( proceedings, as our reporter, on applying at the office, was very uncourteously refused . admission. SE IZURE FOR CHURCH-RATES. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) WESTBURY, WILTS, Nov. 29.—Last week the houses of the Rev. S. S. Watson, and Messrs. Overbury, Wil kins, Clift, Gough, Clift, and Applegate, were entered by the constable and broker, with warrants granted by the Magistrates, to seize for what their instructions called "Church-rates duly assessed," and " justly due." On Saturday last the farce of a sale was performed on the property, at the Lopes Arms, in this borough. The bidders on the occusion were the Churchwarden, an ex- Churchwarden, and a poor man employed to do dirty work at elections. The lots were carried off—being sold and bought, or supposed to be sold and bought, or pretended to be sold anti bought—by the parties ; who, of course, thought themselves perfortning a religious duty, iu the support of a State Church. Most of the sufferers are conscientiously opposed to Church-rates ; but, in the present case, rested their re fusal on the illegality of the r a t e . Of course, th present state of things prevented their formally making the objection before the Bench; but the Magistrates were not left in ignorance on that point. Is this " executing justice ?" SCOTTISH riOSPITAL. The Annual General Court of the Governors and Sub scribers to the Scottish Hospital and Corporation, took place yesterday, at one o'clock, at their Hall, Crane-court, for the purpose of passing the accounts of the last year, the election of officers for the year ensuing, and other business connected with the Corporation. The Court was very fully attended, and the Chair was taken shortly after one o'clock by the Hon. Mr. FRASER, the brother of the Earl of Sal toun. The minutes of the last meeting were read and con firmed, as were also • the 'Reports of the Committees of Relief and the Sub-Committees. Upon the Report of the Standing Committee, approving of the election of a person named Wishart as the Beadle of the Corporation; beirg proposed for confirmation, fir. MORRIS moved as an amendment that the election of Beadle should be postponed for a month. He did so partly on the ground that the health of Wishart unfitted him for the 'situation, and also on account of his conduct to his opponent. He believed that the Secretary had most improperly interfered in the election of Wishart. DAvinsox seconded the motion for the postpone ment of the election of Beadle. He believed the manlier in which the advertisement was worded had precluded a great number of candidates from putting forth their claims. He thought the situation ought to be made pub lic to all who were competent. Mr. MAXWELL said that the Committee which had approved of the election of Wishart, had most care fully looked through all the certificates, had found them most favourable to him ; and he considered that they would be acting most unfairly if they now said Wishart was not an eligible candidate.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Haswell concluded by moving that the minutes of the Standing Committee should be confirmed. The Rev. Mr. CUMMING seconded the motion. He believed that Wishart was a person well qualified, in every respect, for the office of Beadle. The Rev. Dr. Bnows, of Swallow-street, thought there had been some slight degree of feeling mixed up with the election of Beadle.—(Cries • o f N o , no .") He thought the Court wou ld do well to set it down as a general principle that it was unwise and unreasonable for them to overhaul and re verse any decision that had been conscientiously come to by any of their Committees ; that was sound com mon sense—(Hear, hear)—because mill the gentlemen whom they entrusted with their confidence must be supposed to be men of honour, and such as would ex ercise the powers entrusted to them not for the good of any particular candidate, but for that of the C orporation at large.—(Hear, hear:) Under th ese circumstances he thought the appointment that had taken plac e s h ou l d be at however,As, some feelin g seemed to ed.--Ti(lt existrifi anion; Ie sole of the C ourt upon the subject, he thought it would be bett er t o rem i t the lr ;i ) matter to the consideration of a Committee, formed of gentlemen who were not on the previou .Committee, 6 DIVIDENDS.
