VIENNA, MAY 17.—The Wiener Zeitung of this day states that, in consequence of the transport of military, the train on the Northern Railway irom Vienna to Presburg, and vice versa, will not run on that day (17th). The Wanderer of this day contains a pro clamation by his Majesty the Emperor to the Hungarians, dated Schonbrun, May 13, and countersigned by Prince Schwarzenburg. The pro clamation, after adverting to the lamentable fact, that a few lawless men had led away his faithful Hun garian subjects into open war against their Monarch, places before them the disastrous consequences of this crime, which visit not only the authors, but falls upon thousands and tens of thousands of guiltless heads. His Majesty then states that he has requested the assistance of his confederate ally the Emperor of Russia to restore legitimate order, and exhorts the Hungarians to regard the Russians, not as their foes, but irs th e f r i en d s o f t h e i r country, who will aid them in making common cause against their enemies, and deliver Hungary from the ignominious yoke of native and foreign miscreants. The Journal du Commerce sa y s th at t h e w h o l e o f the Imperial army i s now making a movement from the frontier of Moravia to oeden bur g , t o commence a new campaign with the aid of their Russian allies, Large bodies of the Russians have already arrived, and 25,000 of them will form the extreme lef: wing of the army of operation, which, advancing from every point at the same ti me , will surround th e Hungarian army in a semicircle, and will either beat or repel it. Bat unhappily it is not known exactly how the Hungarian army is at this moment disposed between Eperies and Barbfield.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The blockade of the Ger man ports, with the expected removal of which we have been so often mocked, still exists as a bar to the demand for yarn in this market; and the recent accounts from Germany, although in some respects rather more favour able than previous ones to the restoration of order, are yet far from being of a character to reassure the minds of merchants. There is, therefore, no improvement to notice in this department of our market; at the same time, however, no retrograde tendency is observable, except in 40's and 60's mule, which are hardly firm. In water twist, especially of the lower counts, a limited business is doing at last week's rates. Yarns for home manufac ture are without change. As regards goods, the dif ference betwixt light and heavy fabrics still characterises the market in much the same degree as before—the heavier the cloth the more depressed it is.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 22. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice DEDnuN, and Justices ParrEsoN, COLERIDGE, and ERLE.) THE QUEEN vm (---- PARTE CORBETT) V. THE KEEPER OF THE QUEEN'S PRISON. A writ of habeas corpus had issued directing the keeper of the Queen's Prison to bring up the body of William Cobbett, a prisoner there. The prisoner was accordingly brought up this day, and the cause of his imprisonment returned to this court. Upon which— Mr. Cobbett moved the Court that he might be dis charged from custody, on the ground that he bad been improperly removed to the class number one from the side of the prison where he had formerly been con findd. Be contended that he was now illegally con fined, inasmuch as the different classes formed so many different prisons, though disguised under the name of classes ; and his removal by the keeper from one class to another was a removal from one prison to another, and, having been made without warrant, was illegal, and entitled him to be discharged from custody altogether. The COURT decided that if the prisoner was pro perly in the custody of the keeper of the prison, the mere fact that he had been confined In a particular class, though improperly, would not entitle him to be discharged from custody. It appeared to the Court, however, that the applicant was properly confined in the first class, as directed by an Act passed in the last year, by which it was provided that the first class should consist, among others, of those who refused to file their schedule when ordered by fhe Insolvent Debtors' Court. The applicant was one of that class of persons, and there was, therefore, no ground for granting the present application. The prisoner was thereupon remanded. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAms . and a Bench of Ma gistrates.) These sessions commenced on Tuesday morning at Elicks's Hall, Clerkenwell-green, before the usual au thorities. The calendar contains a list of 68 cases for trial, of which 57 are indictments for felony. The Learned JUDGE, in addressieg the grand jury, said that the calendar for these sessions showed one of those remarkable features iu the history of crime which had hitherto puzzled all the ingenuity of those who had made the attempt to discover and to trace out its cause— s' characteristic which appeared and disappeared in a manner as regular as it was unaccountable. They were now in the summer months, and the number of male and female prisoners was nearly equal; whereas in the winter months the proportion of the female to the male prisoners was usually about 8 or 10 to 50. Well, that was the customary proportion in and about the month of January, but as the warmer months approached that proportion gradually increased in each succeeding ses sions, until about August, when the maximum had been attained; but from that time the number commenced its diminution, and so the proportion proceeded until Christ mas had arrived, and then the minimum of the proportion as between the male and female prisoners for trial ap peared. This was a singular progression in the history of crime. But so it was. W. Jennings,: one of the police force, having at the last sessions been convicted of the commission of an in decent assault upon a little girl of the name of Win• grove, was this morning brought up for judgment, which had been postponed at the time of the trial, to afford an opportunity for an inquiry to be made by the police as to the nature of the connexion which might have existed, if such connexion had existed, between the prisoner and a man of the name of James Lane, who had appeared as a witness on his behalf. That witness on the trial had sworn that he was a total stranger to the prisoner. From the evidence it seemed that this man had been close to the spot on which the child had sworn that the offence had been committed, and the witness accounted for his having been there by stating that he was on his return from paying a visit to his niece, who was residing in Wellington-place, Vic toria-grove, and that he had just asked the prisoner the way to his own place of abode. He therefore said that that was the way by which the prisoner must have dis covered where he lived. The Inspector of the N division now stated, that his inqUiries bad resulted in his ascertaining that the wit ness Lane had not visited his niece in Wellington-place for the last 10 months, and that the prisoner, who had been admitted to bail, was afterwards seen in the com pany of the witness Lane, both of them making an, exa - mination of the locality of Victoria-grove. In the course of this examination they were observed to measure a portion of the road. He had also discovered that Lane had been present at the police court during the inquiry before the magistrate, and, furthermore, that a very in timate acquaintance of the man Lane was a brother-in law of the prisoner, and had, in fact, come forward as one of his bail. The Learned JUDGE said the result of the inquiry was very much like what he had anticipated that it ttnhaeni H , would be. The witne ss it was now proved had commit ted gross and wilful p er j ury i n this case. Now, looking at this fact—that th e d e f endant at the time he had committed this ass au lt was one of the police force, and, moreover, that h e was a l so on duty, and that he had called a perjured w i tness to speak in his behalf, with the full knowled ge th at w h at t h at witness was about to swear was altog e th er f a l se, i t was impos sible, under such a state of circumsta nces , b ut t h at the Court should visit the defendant with a p un i s h ment o f some severity. The sentence upon hi m t h ere f ore was of Correction, and that b e f ore hi s lib eration he House ee imprisoned for the p er i o d o f three months in s ecurity for his future goo d b e h av i our. ltitli hdoe icon L angley, a well-known mem b er of the " swell mob," was indicted for having robbed a lady of the name of Webber, of a purse containing three sovereigns, a half-sovereign, and three half-crowns. It appeared that the prosecutrix and a female f r i en d were ood on wa lking in the neighbourhood of St. John's the evening of the 28th of April, and upon a t a lighter part of the arriving road than they John's wood had just been traversing, the former observed some thing glisten by her side. She looked round with quickness, when she saw her purse, which was worked with steel beads, in the hand of a person whom she fully believed was the prisoner at the bar. As soon as she turned round the man ran off, leaving the purse behind him; but he was pursued by her friend, and even tually the prisoner was overtaken and secured by a yo u ng man who joined in the pursuit. The identity of the prisoner was proved, and The jury th ereupon returne d a ver di c t o f G u ilty. The Lear ne d J UDGE , the pri soner was a we ll k nown i ncorr i g ibl e thi e f, an d in passing sentence, stated that was one of th ose w h ose practice it had been to lurk about dark c orners and avenues oa th e wa t c h for ladi e s. H e was very much too perfect, and too much accomplished in his avocation to be allowed to remain in this country, and therefore the sentence upon him was transportation for ten years. ------- POLICE IN iv, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. "z" itan Anstead, a person wearing mustachios, was brought bef ore dr. Bingham for final examination, charged with having altered a cheque for 3/. 134. into 631. 13 . 5., and rece i ved the mone y f r om the London and West ously. munter Bank. Mr. Vukins, coal-merchant, Wilton - road , Pimlico , said he knew the prisoner, who had an a ccoun t o f 81. 13 s. due agai nst h im for coa l s su ppli e d three years previ two tons of coa l s, w hich came to 21 . 14 5., and thus in- In November last the prisoner called and ordered creased the debt to 11/. 79. In payment of the whole amount the prisoner tendered a cheque for 18/. on Messrs. Cox and Greenwood, Charing-cross, signed "J. 11. Stevens on ," an d re quested witness to givo him the difference. Witness had nut sufficient change at hand, and he gave the prisoner a cheque on the London and Westminster Bank for 31. 135., with 3/. in money. Thi s same cheque was some time afterwards shown to wit ness, and then it was discovered that the cheque in body and figures had been altered from 3Z 13s. to 63/. I3s. The alterations were made without the knowledge or consent of witness. Witness presented the cheque for 181. to Messrs. Cox and Greenwood, but payment was refused. Frederick Bower, clerk in the London and Westmin ster Bank, St. James's square, stated that Mr. Vokins banked with the company. On the 22d November wit ness paid a cheque to a woman fur 631. 135., which pur ported to be drawn by Mr. Vokins for that amount. Witness paid the money in four 10/, notes, four St notes, and the rest in cash. Witness took an account of the number of the notes: Witness had no recollection of the person of the woman who presented the cheque. James Hooper, clerk to Messrs. Cox and Co., proved that no person of the name of J. H. Stevenson I t as au account wits the firm in ;imp*); IPA, Police-constable Thornton, A 26, said, on the 7th of May he took the prisoner and his wife into custody at 41, Mantiall street. Witness, among other things, found two duplicates, one relating to a coat pledged with a pawnbroker named Rochfor t, and the other for a carpet bag pledged %%ith a pawnbroker named Tinjay. John Thomas, shopman to Messrs. Michell and Co., tailors, Regent-street-0.1 the 23d of November witness was in the service of Mr. Sampson, tailor, Princes-street. On that morning the prisoner and a woman came into the shop and bought a great coat, and paid for it with a 101. note. The prisoner gave an order for another coat, and directed it to be sent to Lieutenant Anstead, of West bourne-villas, Westbourne-road. The coat was made and sent to the direction, but neither prisoner nor place could be discovered. The great coat now produced was the coat sold to the prisoner. The 101. note with which the coat was paid had the number on it of one of the 101. notes :paid at the Lon don and Westminster Bank in exchange for Mr. Vokin's check. A great coat, pledged at Mr, Rochfort's, was produced. It was the same sold to the prisoner by the witness Thomas. The coat was pledged in the name of Herdley, and a witness named James proved that the prisoner and his wife took lodgings at her house in Marshall-street under the name of Herdley. William Brewer, trunk-maker, Or,ford• street, proved that a woman purchased a carpet bag, and offered a 101. note in payment. Witness did not change the note, and the woman went out and returned with a 51. note, which witness changed. The note produced was one of the notes obtained from the London and Westminster Bank. The duplicate of the carpet bag was found at the prisoner's lodgings in Marshall-street. Police-sergeant Darter, A division, produced the record of a conviction for felony in 1848 against the prisoner. The prisoner was fully committed. WESTMINSTER. Moira Finch, a well dressed woman of the town, was charged with stealing a gold watch, value 20 guineas, from the person of Mr. C. J. Faulkner, a gentleman re siding in Wilton-street, Belgrave-square. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor, that he was walking along Piccadilly early on Sunday morn ing, after having spent the evening at the house of a friend, and took shelter from the rain, under a doorway, where he was joined by the prisoner, with whom he fell into conversation. The rain having abated, he pro ceeded towards his residence, accompanied by the pri soner; but in consequence of another shower they were again compelled to stand up. From the time at which the prosecutor had first conversed with the prisoner, a man continually walked up and down before them, evi dently with an intention of giving annoyance; and pro secutor having spoken to a constable, the man disap peared for a minute or two, but shortly returned, and having repeated his offensive conduct was given in charge. On their leaving the station the man, who was not detained, was in company with the constable, and the prosecutor having proceeded towards home, parted with the prisoner. On laying hold of his gold guard to lift the watch out of his waistcoat pocket, to his great astonishment he discovered that although the chain was perfect and the swivel at its end unopened, his watch had disappeared. He had looked at it on his way to the station, and it was safe at the time he was there, as could be proved by the inspector. The man who had been so trouble some went a different way, and had no chance of com mitting the robbery, and the prisoner must have stolen the watch, as she was the only person who could pos sibly have taken it. Although prosecutor had been staying late at the house of a friend,.he was not at all affected by liquor. Prisoner was taken into custody on Monday evening, but the watch was not found. The prisoner protested her innocence, and declared that the prisoner ought to be punished for giving her into custody. She added, " Although I'm an unfortu nate girl I'm not a thief ; and if you ask the gentlemen about St. James's -street they can prove it." Mr. BURRELL ordered her to be remanded till Friday. William Richardson, a man of genteel exterior, was brought up from Liverpo o l y es t er d ay, i n custody of Mr. Murphy, one of the Liverpool detective officers, and placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with having com mitted forgery. Mr. William Whittaker stated that he resided at West Beal, Lincolnshire, and was a general shopkeeper. In April, 1846, he completed the purchase of some laud at Bolingbroke, and left the deeds relating to it in the hands of Mr. Thimbleby, solicitor, at Spilsby. Witness never saw the prisoner before, and had had no transactions with him. On Wednesday last he came to London, and went to the office of the Tontine Assurance Company, in Pall-mall, in conse quence of an application made to him for payment of a note of 1001. Witness there saw a promissory note for 100/, purporting to bear his name, in favour of a Mr. Richardson. Witness could swear he never signed that note. The signature was certainly something like his. Witness also saw two memorandums of a deposit of deeds, purporting to be signed by him. They were not in his handwriting. Mr. Thomas Thimbleby deposed that he was a solici tor, and resided at Spilsby, Lincolnshire. In April, 1846, the prosecutor left some deeds with him, and, amongst them a conveyance of some laud at Boling broke. On the 7th inst. he looked for those deeds and could not find them. On Tuesday week witness came to London with the prosecutor, and went to the Tontine Assurance Office, in Pall-mall, where he saw two ab stracts of three or four documents, purporting to bear the signature of the prosecutor. They were forgeries, From information they subsequently received, they proceeded to Liverpool, where the prisoner was apprehended. Mr. Henry Murphy, detective officer, proved taking the prisoner into custody at Liverpool on Monday night. There not being any further evidence ready, the pri soner was remanded till Thursday (this day). THAMES. Henry Wood, a man about thirty years of age, of rough exterior, with his br* ast exposed, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with assaulting Richard Larncombe, a private in the 2d battalion of the Grena- dier Guards, and attempting to force his way into the Royal Mint. Stringer, a City policeman, 364, who took the pri soner into custody, said, the soldier who had been as saulted was not present, and that his sergeant, in the Tower, where the regiment to which he belonged was stationed, refused to allow him to appear; on which the magistrate said the case mast proceed without him, and that if his evidence was required he would soon enforce his attendance. John Brown, porter at the Royal Mint, was then sworn, and stated that the prisoner came to the gates that morning and wanted to obtain access to the interior of the building. lie asked him for what purpose; and the prisoner replied that there were persons in the Mint of a certain description, and he must see them, and the fact was that be had property there. The prisoner had first told the sentinel on duty at the gates that he was a labourer in the Mint, but the soldier did not believe him. Witness told the prisoner to leave the place, and with some difficulty removed him. About an hour afterwards the prisoner returned to the gates, and after vociferating aloud demanded admittance again, and said he was the principal witness in a smashing case. Wit ness told him he had better see the Mint Solicitor, and proceed to his office. The prisoner was driven away, and returned for the third time at twelve o'clock at noon, put his back against the principal entrance gate, and said he would push it open and force his way in. After some parleying with the sentinel, whom he assaulted, he was given into custody. The prisoner. on being called on for his defence, said in a low tone that he was accused of shooting the Queen, and the police took him into custody, and used him very badly ; and caused him to be tried for high treason. Mr. YARDLET—What is your name? Prisoner— Wood is my name, Sir. Mr. YARDLEY—When were you tried? Prisoner— This morning, Sir; and for shooting at the Queen. Mr. YARDLEY.—Where were you tried ?

He did not know how the prisoner had been living, or where he had been staying. Police-constable 33 II said the prisoner had been very recently in his custody on charge of passing base coin, but the case was not pressed. Another police-constable deposed that the prisoner was in custody a short time ago for very disorderly conduct, and' that he did not think he was of sane mind. Mr. YARDLEY said he had no doubt whatever the prisoner' was not a fit subject to be at large, and inquired in what parish the Royal Mint was situate ; and was informed it was in St. Botolph Without, Aid gate, on which the magistrate directed that the parish officers should be sent for immediately; and they were requested to take charge of the prisoner, who was ul timately sent to the workhouse.

INSTITUTE OF GAS ENGINEERS.—We understand that a new college or institute is about to be established, having for its objects the collection and promulgation of all data relative to the existing methods of manufacturing and distributing gas; an examination of the most sci entific and practical methods of increasing its purity and illuminating power; of making it in the most eco nomical manner; of getting rid of all noxious effluvium; and of so regulating the mode of supply that it can be conveyed to consumers at a cost much inferior to that which they are charged at present. Another important object is, the regular training and instruction of gas engineers, so as to reduce to one uniform system and science the diverse methods which at present prevail, leading as they do to extravagant and ill-directed expert. diture, and greatly enhanced cost of the article, equally to the injury of shareholders and consumers. When it is considered that not less than 15,000,0001. of British capital are invested in gas works, and that nothing can be more variable than the prices charged throughout the country, the importance of such an institute, which will assure to shareholders and the public an ascertained amount of scientific knowledge and practical skill on the part of those to whom the expenditure of this immense and increasing capital is entrusted will be readily ap preciated. The science of gas manufacture is, perhaps, yet in its infancy. Many improvements have certainly been made of late years, but owing to the expense of adapting old works to such improved methods, and other obvious personal reasons, these improvements have met with far from universal adoption. New alleged improve ments are also daily suggested, which require scientific investigation, so that the practically good may be separated from those which are merely speculative and theoretical, and which would lead to a waste of capital. The projectors of this new institute are, we understand, Mr. A. Angus Croll, Engineer of the Coventry and Tottenham Gas Works and of the Great Central Con sumers' Company, and Professor Wilson, of the Ander sonian Institution, who have already secured the warm co-operation of some of the most eminent gas engineers in the kingdom. A truly good memory is only forgetful of in itiries.—Bliza Cook's Journal *236 49 187 LOSS OF TWO HULL WHALERS The Hull vessels cent to Greenland this year luiss been very unfortunate in their fi.bing ; but thi; is un imprfaut contrasted with the intelligence we have t° convey ot the total los: of the William Ward and the. Pledge, of this port. The former was a barque of 295 tons, and a crew of 45 men; the latter a smack of 31 tons, and a crew of 19 men. A letter has been received by Mrs. Gravill, wife of Captain Gravill, of the William Ward, which contains the further details of the loss of that vessel. It is dated the 7th instant, on board the Dublin, of Peter head, lat. 60 deg. 0 min. N. The writer states that the loss of the William Ward occurred on the 24th March, in a tremendous gale from the N.E., atnnug 4 heavy ice, in lat. 47 deg. 30 min. N., and long. 10 deg' 0 min. W. " Every precaution," observes Captain Grtv vill, " had been used for her safety, having sent down topgallant-yards, and struck miztn-topmast, and clos e ' reefed the top-sails, on the morning of the above dui! white it was yet calm. The gale commenced about, three A.M. most terrific, for we had to s tow awl but the close-reefed maintopsails. The frost w ag very severe, with constant thick weather. T h i l Traveller, of Peterhead was in company. We ha all hands on deck attending to the b rac es, whic h we could scarcely haul through the blocks for the frost ; Many of the men's faces were frostbitt en , an d a lthough not above the deck, it was impossible to make the We ll , hear without the trumpet. The ship b e i n g among' heavy ice, with a tremendous sea, about three P . 3 1,; hove down upon the weather side of a heavy " s tream (ot ice), with no possibility of getting clear. We w ere therefore compelled to let her go int o it. H er larbos t side was soon stove fore and aft, a n d b e f ore we g et through the water was up to the hold beams. Our /il l !: ation was now most alarming, there being no shiP :- be seen; we had lost sight of the Trav e ll er s ome tiu le d before. Our condition was aggravated by the continu e , severity of the frost, and many of our men s ufferiun under its inflictions, but we got the ship's head to tihe eastward, and all hands were employed at both ptloP„, s. We cat away the mainmast to keep the vessel fro ': turning on her beam-ends. In this con dition I f ' continued until two days afterwards, when in the morn' ing there was a cry, fore and aft, • The ship's down head first.' I gave orders to cut away the Wed mast, which being done eased the ship greatly, u ll hn every exertion was made to keep her a bo ve wa ter, t"; men dropping off from the pumps daily through fatigUi and having their feet frostbitten; and so we remain e from the 24th until the 29th, constantly at the pulo„P g ,', and with the water someti mes i n t h e cabin. v: the morning of the 29th we could only muster twentl,, eight at the pumps out of forty-five hands; but throug.; the intervention of an ever-watchful P rov id ence a :ldP hove in sight, and with difficulty made us out to be u wreck, as we appeared to be a large heap of ic e ' but the mizen-mast being still standing, c uli o i vinced the other ship's crew that it w a s a N'eu s 'a in distress. They therefore bore down to us, an proved to be the Fairy of Dundee, Captai n R o bert 18- 1 : who with the feelings of a father and a fri en d, sent II" boats immediately to our relief, and took us all fro m the wreck. The weather (proved moderate morning, but, as the sea ran high, we w ere coraPeti,, e 4 to keep to the pumps up to the last mom e nt, until • boats got alongside for us. We then go t a ll the Il L i c up as well as as we could, amounting t o e i g h teen , at that time. Some we were obliged to carry on our backs ,11„,; the side and lower into the boats, their feet being Ye% much frost-bitten, and their legs wrapped up in Pie% of blankets. It took the greater p art o f t h e d a y to goa" us all out, and the Fairy had on ly ti me to save thr,, — „ boats after we were all on board. Th e s hip (t he William Ward) was filling fast, and a gale i nc reasing; before midnight the Fairy was obli ge d t o come Uw e ; a close-reefed maintop-sail and foresail, so that had ti not been taken off before that sto rm , I greatly dulinvf whether any of us would have b een l e f t , as t he P u 'a men were giving up every hour. Both myself eu„ the crew will never forget the ki n d ness to t he sic"; and the attention paid to us all, by CePt ul tier, and his ship's comp an y.

He is given up all hopes of ever getting out o f th e i ce , as it a heavy " pack," and there is no " young ice" to shelve them. Many ships are stove, and th ose t h a t 1 10 . • escaped consider it a miracle. The smac k Pledge 1 „ lost, but the crew saved. Some of th em are 0 " board the Dublin. I am afraid there is another eu s i se! lost, as I have been told of a main boom t i , ll :, was picked up. It appears to have been a brig. smack Turk, Brown, had about 400 seals, but she is nt°l 1 know very little about the H u ll s hip s , b u t bo l a they were all badly off. The Sarah and Elizabeth b ad 150 seals when I left her, but I hop e th ey w ill allu„ well.

A letter has also been received from the Pledge, and is we believe, the only communicatto., which has arrived from that vessel, The master l a still at Greenland. It is dated as the above, au, ! after briefly stating the loss of the Pledge on tf i : 28th Ult., contains the following particulars, a n , dressed to the owner :—" Sir—l have to inform you of the wreck of the Pledge, in Greenland. the 12th of April it was blowing a heavy gale, and 04 : were completely disabled, having no seam from ice-kneel mate of 91: down to keel, no main -boom, no mainsail (the nusiu s , l/ i ,; having blown to ribbons), and water by this time in the lower bed cabins, and gaining on us.
