The inquiries at Marlborough douse this morning; were very numerous, and the answer given was, ” The Queen Dowager i 3 quite well. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PIPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—A more careful examination of the evi dence adduced by the prosecutor on the trial of M'Leod, has resulted in a conviction that even that i evidence, though brought forward to make out the I charge in the indictment, is alone sufficient to justify the acquittal and discharge of the party accused. We do not here refer to the manifest weakness of the evi dence given in proof of his identity, which amounted only to " impression," " belief," and " consider it impossi ble I can be mistaken," all which forms of speech imply a suspicion in the mind of the witness using them that he is by no means satisfied of the correctness of his opinion ;—we do not t dwell on the impossibility of particularly observing the form and features of an individual eagaged with many others in such an attack, and in the midst of the confusion, terror, and alarm which it produced—made, as it was, in the midst of a winter night, and under cover of darkness— nor do we rest our opinion that the indictment against M‘Leod mut fail on the by no means unimportant fact, that the MUIII Durfee, for whose alleged murder he is called upon to answer, was seen alive upon the shore after the Caroline was set adrift and was actually burning—as is proved by the witnesses Emmons and Field, although the weakness of the proof of identity, and the fact—as admitted by the witnesses for the prosecution—that the party who attacked and destroyed the Caroline had retired, having effected their object, before the individual with whose murder M'Leod is charged was shut—leaving it to be inferred that his death was caused by some of his own party, and, in either case, M`Leod's acquittal would ensue. We take higher ground ; and out of the mouth of the owner of the Caroline—the man, of all others, best acquainted with the character of the vessel, and the nature of the ser vice in which she was engaged—we have the justifica tion of the party of Canadian loyalists who effected her destruction. On this ground—of all others the most satisfactory, if it be found sufficiently strong to bear the weight of the proposition we rest upon it—we place the vindication of the act, and the consequent justifica tion of our countryman. STANDARD.—ShouId the United Slates Attor i ney-General succeed in establishing the allegations I contained in his address (and we agree with the 1 Morning Herald in dissenting from the estimate which has been formed of the temper and animus of his speech by some of our Contemporaries), he bas no case on which an honest and intelligent Jury ought to convict. The various counts comprised in the indict ment differ, not merely in the description of the weapon employed in effecting the imputed murder, but in the especial identity of the presumed criminal. One recites that he was shot with a gun ; another with a pistol, discharged by Alexander M‘Lcod ; " whilst others affirm that the shot was fired by one John Mosier, and that M'Leod was aiding and abetting him." As our Contemporary has shown, by an extract from " Blackstoce," " a precise and sufficient certainty as to the identity of the person must be indicated by the indictment, which must set forth the Christian name, surname, and addi tion of the state, degree, registry, time or place, and the country of the offender, and all this to identify his person ;" an authority which ought to have the more weight with the Utica Jury, seeing that the whole argument of the counsel for the prose cution professes to be based upon British law. With regard to the temper and animus of the speech of the American Attorney-General, we confers we look in vain for the passages on which such qualities have been attributed to it. In the excited state of mind in which the American public has been kept, and after the flood of falsehood and misrepresenta tion which has been poured upon it, in reference to this case, there was surely no necessity for the Attorney-General to call upon the Jury, if he did not " press the cause with the vigour essential to the development of truth to redouble their own vigil ance, lest truth should be crushed by error." No reluc tance to see matters in the most unfavourable light need have been anticipated on such an occasion, nor was likely to avert such a verdict as the Learned Counsel thus significantly prayed for. He tells his auditors in effect to mistrust their own judgment, in the event of any inference favourable to the prisoner, and impute to his (the Attorney General's) weakness or misapprehension any impression which his statement of the case may lead them to entertain of his inno cence. Surely there is little either of generosity or justice in such an appeal. If, however, the allega tions contained in the address alluded to be not much more effectually supported than they were by the first three days' testimony for the prosecution, a legal conviction will be impossible. However this may be, it seems perfectly understood on all sides that the life of Mr. M'Leed is in no sort of jeopardy. If found guilty, the reversal of his sentence is certain, notwithstanding the exposition of . the law entered into w by his prosecutor. Wh e ther he as or was not a party to the death of Durfee is of comparatively trivial im portance. We were assured, however, a few days ago by a gentleman who assisted at the cutting out and de struction of the Caroline, that M'Leod was neither present at, nor aware of, the exploit, until the morning after its achievement. We presume that there will be no difficulty in satisfactorily establishing this face. COCRIEII.—The evidence adduced on M'Lcod's trial, which apreared in e.rlenso in yesterday's Courier, establishes beyond the reach of cavil or doubt, the pirati cal character of the Caroline and of its owner and crew. Irrelevant and forceless as it is regarding the question really at issue, namely, M' Leod's alleged share in the valorous and perfectly justifiable enterprise, which re sulted in the destruction of the " Navy Island steamer," it is irresistibly conclusive as to the predatory nature of the service in which it had been engaged. Upon this point, we believe, a controversy was kept up for a considerable time between the two Governments, and much ingenious casuistry expended, the American Go vernment insisting upon the lawfulness of the service in which the steam-boat was employed, and for which she had been " cut out of the ice" a day or two before, while the British authorities all along maintained that the Caroline had been in the employment of the rebellious and maurading horde that had invaded and taken possession of Navy Island, and, being so, richly deserved the fate she met with. This was the very first question raised between the two Governments—the American authorities having had the modest effrontery to demand compensation for the loss of the Caroline ! Well, we suppose after the admissions that have been wrung from its owner, on the subject of his steam-boat speculation, that the Federal Government will resort to no more offensive quibbling as to his having been engaged in regular and lawful traffic. As between the two nations the charac ter of the transaction has been irreversably established, the Caroline in being sent adrift down the Falls met only with its deserts ; the brave men who inflicted upon it so frightful a doom, having evinced th e utmost forbearance in allowing its freebooting owner and crew to escape a similar doom. From the fellow's own evidence we have it that he had been on the 26th of. December, just three days before the Caro line was sent adrift, with the rebels at Navy Island— had conveyed provisions and munitions of war, and had there entered into a compact to convey arms and men to them, they promising him a bond of indemnity—for what ? For the Caroline, of course. Here we have proof of undoubted, undeniable brigandism. And yet the fellow pretends that he expects to be indemnified by the American Government. NE WS by the FALMOUTH PACKET. FALMOUTH, OCT. 23.—The Montrose, Peninsular steamer. arrived to-day—from Gibraltar, 14th ; Cadiz, 13th ; Lisbon, 18th (got communicating with Oporto); and from Vigo, 20th. The transport Sovereign, Mr. 'l'. Pike, and Lieut. Donnetry, R.N., agent, with detach ments of the 42d, 47th, 39th, and Ist battalion of 60th Regiment on board, had put into Gibraltar, 30 days from Malta, for ‘Voolwich. The Great Liverpool steamer passed through the Gut on the Sth instant ; the Carysfort, Captain A. B. Martin, C. 8., sailed the bay ; thence on the 9th for England.

The Bill, abolishing the difference in duties, passed the Senate on the 14th instant. Algarve is still infested by factious bands. That which was captured in Castello Branco was to be sup ported, whenever it should penetrate into Spain, by a Spanish one which was said to have been organised on the Gata mountains. The plan, however, must have been frustrated, as none made its appearance is that direction. Sir Thomas Freemantle returned to town y'eS terday from his seat in Buckinghamshire•, and trans acted business at the Treasury. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London Mercantile Journal of October 26.) SUGAR.—The West India market has been very active during the week : large purchases have been made both by the grocers and refiners, and prices have further ad vanced 6d to is per cwt on brown and middling yellow kinds, and is to Is 6d on the better qualities, of which the market is now nearly cleared. The total transactions of the week are about 3200 hhds and tierces. The demand for West India was good to-day, and the public sales went off briskly at 6d to is advance for fine sorts ; other kinds realized fully the rates of Friday. 65 hhds tierces Barbadoes fetched 62s 6d to 72s 6d for low to fine yellow. 151 hhds 18 tierces and bris St Lucia went at 61s to 72s 6d for mid to very fine yellow, and good brown at 55s to 575. The private sales were about 500 hhds and trcs. ' l6 3l,tuarrius.—The public sales comprised 5900 bags 115 casks, the whole of which found buyers, and with good spirit, at a further advance of is in almost all cases, butchiefly on the colory sorts ; fine bright and strong yellow at 68s 6d to 695 6d, good ditto at GGs to 675, good middling ditto at 64s to 64s 6d, middling at 595, and strong low brown at 45s Gd per cwt. EAST INDlA.—Bengal continues in good request, and Is per cwt higher prices were again paid at the public sales for white qualities, while the inferior sorts went at easier rates ; the whole quantity put up was 3,177 bags, which sold with spirit as follows :—fine white 72s 6d to 74s 6d, good, ditto, 69s to 69s Gd, low to mid ditto, 62s to 68, brown 40s to 535. The market continues very dull, and the public sales which offered 4,211 bags Manilla and 1,026 mats Siam, established a fall of about is per cwt on late transac tions ; the former sold, middling and good yellow at 16s to 17s, damp yellow at 15s Gd to 16a low dry brown at 14s, and damp ditto at 13s 6d, a f ew iots at 14s ; the Siam was all damp white. and sold at 17s to 18s 6d for low quality. FOREIGN.—The market is dull, but at a public sale of 709 bags damaged white P.ernambuc) full prices were obtained and all sold ; finz white, soft at 23s 6d to 245, gocd ditto at 22s Gd, and in bad condition at 18s 6d to 19s per cwt. REFINED.—There is a steady demand for grocery goods to-day, and stiffer prices were paid ; 28s 6d is the value of standard lumpi. For export the enquiries are very limited, and 29s to 29s 2d is the price of crushed in bond. MokassEs.—At public sale 210 casks Sugar and Mo lasses from Mauritius were disposed of at 21s 6d to 295. 169 casks 60 brls Molasses also from Mauritius were sold at 17s to 22s 6d per cwt. COFFEE.—The market for home consumption sorts continues dull, but we have had little alteration in prices this week, owing to there being a small quantity only offering fur sale. The importers of West India have evinced less desire to realise, and most of the parcels on offer have been withdrawn from the market, consequently the little business that has been done pri vately has supported former rates. The only parcel brought to public sale consisted of 27 casks 28 barrels Jamaica, which partly sold at 57s to 67s for good or dinary. Unclean and inferior sorts are quite neglected. The demand to-day was steady for most sorts of Coffee, and the public sale went at full rates ; 483 bags Ceylon fetched 67s to 67s 6d for good ordinary ; 1,483 bags East India 35s to 35s 6d for Padang, and 33s for Sumatra ; 1,800 bags Rio from the Cape 39s to 40s 6d for good and fine ordinary. Privately more inquiry existed for Coffee of all sorts. COCOA.—The demand for Foreign is yet very limited, and 1,000 bags Guayaquil at public sale were bought in at 30s 6d for ordinary mixed with damaged. TEA.—Privately there has not been any animation in free trade descriptions, but a fair business has been done for bona fide consumption chiefly in the lower qualities, and steady prices have been obtained. The frequent public sales are the means of preventing large pur chases privately, and kept the market in a continued state of uncertainty ; however, all things considered, the market exhibits a more buoyant and healthy appear ance than could have been expected after the receipt of the advices representing so large a quantity of the leaf to have been shipped from China to England. The market was inactive to-day for free trade des criptions, but there were few parcels on offer, and no change in prices was apparent ; is “d is the lowest point of the market for sound Congou, and even at that fiigure the quality is very low. Cernpany's Congou was in limited request only, and the cash price remained at about is 10-id to is 101 d per lb. _ RICE.—The market continues firm, and 1,407 bags 390 sacks Bengal at public sale chiefly sold at lls Gd to 12s Gd for middling to good white. SAGO.—Easier prices are accepted for this article, and there is little business doing. 693 bags Peer! at public sale sold at 12s to 13s for low brownish pinky. 197 bags Sago Flour of good colour, but musty bought in at 12s per cwt, _ _ _ SP/lIITS.—The demand for Rum continues steady, but the preference is still given to the fine and strong qualities of Jamaica, which, produce former prices. No sales have been made in I)emeraa, and Leewardshave met with a partial demand only ; they, however, support :he previous value. The business of the week consists of about 500 puns Jamaica, 26 to 30 over proof at 4s 4d to 4s 10d, 32 to 34 over at 5s to 5s 3d, 36 to 38 over 5s 6d to 5s 9d, superior marks at 6s 2d to 6s 9d ; 150 puns Leewards, proof of ordinary quality at Is 10d, bright at is lld to 2s per gallon. 0/East India Rum 150 hhds Calcutta have been sold at is 6d per gallon. proof strength. Brandy is very firm in price, and the best qualities are in good d e m a nd. G eneva supports former rates; 2s to 2s ld is the nearest value for export sorts; fine quality suitable for the home trade brings 2s 6d to 2s 8d per gallon. British Corn Spirits in (re mand at lOs 4d per gallon. At public sale were offered 250 hhds of Bengal Ruin and bought in at is 7 1 ,(1 for l 7 11, per cent over proof, and at Is 91d f0r.291!, over proof. PDIESTO.—There is no further alteration in the value of this article, and the buyers having pretty well supplied themselves at the recent large public sales, there is little enquiry and the business is almost confined to a trifling parcel of 48 hags by public auction, middling even at 3Ad, and stalky at 24(1 per lb. NUTMEGS.—There is little business doing in this article privately, and only two cases sound have been sold by public auction, viz. one case fair rathe small Singapore brown Nuts at 4s 6d, and one case inferior ditto at 3s 9d per lb. PEPPER.—There are still only partial inquiries after Sumatra, but the holders remain firm, and few parcels are on offer-3d continues to be paid for com mon sbipping quality ; 357 bags ordinary at public sale sold at 3d per lb. Malabar is dull of sale, but not lower ; of 1,398 bags offered at public sale, a few lots only were sold atind to .Ik, the remainder was bought in at the latter price. White goes off steadily at pre vious rates-45 bags good ordinary brownish much mixed were sold in public sale at .51d to 6d, one lot at 6i per lb. CINNAMON—The quarterly public sales of this article took place yesterday, they went off with extreme heavi ness, and buyers could with difficulty be found even at reduced prices. As contrasted with the last sales, these prices are par to 3d lower for Ist sort, 2d to 4d per lb lower for second and third sort, and about 3d to 6d per lb. lower for broken and pieces. CASSIA LIGHEA.—FuII prices continue to be paid for this article, and the demand is good ; 200 chests offered by public auction found buyers, good thin quill at 100 s, fair middling at 93s 6d, and coarse at 86s Gd per cwt. GINGER.—There is still very little inquiry for East India, and prices are yet much depressed ; 601 bags Malabar were offered at public sale, when good clean scraped sold at 22s Gd to 255, wormy ditto at 18s, mid and good mid small of the usual import at Ils 6d to 14s, and inferior rather wormy at 8s to 10s, two single bag lots of fine like West India sold at 41s and 45s per cwt. TALLOW.—The recent failures in this trade have created very great distrust, and left the market in as dull a state as can be imagined ; business is carried on in the most cautious manner, and the buyers take barely sufficient to cover their necessities. The few transactions during the week have been at about 46s 9d to 47s on the spot, and for delivery up to the eud of the year there are sellers at 46s 6d per cwt. There are few inquiries for spring delivery, and the price asked, viz., 47s Gd per cwt., is considered, as quite no minal. At public sale on Friday 215 pipes, S hhds, 3 brls, South American were sold at 38s to 46s 6d ; 263 casks St. Petersburgh Tallow were also sold, first qua lity Siberia Soap at 46s 3d, and second quality Yellow Candle at 46s 9d to 47s per cwt. The market remain dull, and prices have a downward tendency. P.Y.C. was sold to-day at 46s 9d to 49s on the the spot. OILS.—The firmness that existed in the market for common Fish Oils is maintained, and holders generally demand higher prices, with a good demand, and upon the whole a large qusiness has been done, but without any apparent activity. Pale Seal has brought 371., and Southern Whale, of fine quality, 341. to 34/. los., with now few sellers thereat. Sperm Oil is in fair demand, at former prices. Linseed Oil is becoming very scarce, and the article being much wanted, the price on the spot has advanced to 355, at which a a good business has been done, and for further delivery 36s in the price demanded. Rape and Olive Oils very scarce and prices looking up.

The Master-General, Sir George Murray, G.C.B. and G.C.H., since his appointment as Colonel of the Royal Regiment of Artillery, has secured the affection and unqualified approbation of the officers of the corps by the impartial and considerate manner in which he has bestowed his patronage as a regard for meritorious ser vices. When it was made known to the friends of Sir John May that he intended to retire from active life after the long period of 46 years' service in the Royal Artillery, and not in the Royal Engineers, as was inad vertently stated, an officer possessing the greatest influ ence and excellent testimonials, and nearly related to one of the members of the present Government, waited upon Sir George Murray with all these recommenda tions to solicit the office of Inspector of the Royal Car riage Department in the Arsenal at Woolwich. The reply of the Master-General deserves the highest com mendation, as he observed to the applicant, " In the event of Sir John May retiring from the office of Inspec tor of the Royal Carriage Department, there is a worthy and meritorious officer, Colonel Lacy, now at Wool wich, and he shall have the appointment." In the course of a few days afterwards, when Sir John May tendered his resignation, it was with equal surprise and pleasure that Colonel Lacy received a notification that he had been selected to fill the office, which he never antici pated, as he had made no application. Sir John May was present at Quatre Bras and Waterloo, and his deco rations are a medal and three clasps. The following is a correct statement of the advantages now offered to those willing to enter the Royal Navy : ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, SHEERNESS, Oc'r. 1841.

FATAL EFFECTS OF QUACK MEDICINES...—.I have in the previous part of this chapter, hazarded a con jecture as to the annual amount of mortality in England, which may fairly be ascribed to the agency of medical empiricism. That it must be great, may safely enough be inferred from the fact that Government derive a yearly revenue from the sale of quack medicines of be tween 50,000/. and 60,0001. The sources of this revenue are the stamps, the duty on advertisements, licenses, patents, and the duty on the paper employed for wrap ping up the medicine. Such a quantity of deleterious medicine cannot be taken without producing disastrous results. Dr. Thornton made a calculation that some years ago several thousand children were annually killed by a quack medicine advertised as " Cakes for ' the Cure of Worms.'—Lights and Shadows of London Life. by the Author of " The Great Metropolis." UNION OF CHARTISTS AND CORN-LAW REPEALERS.-It is gratifying to observe, thanks to the able and conciliatory addresses of Colonel Thompson, ! that the Chartists, w i t h ou t a b an d on i ng t h e i r pr i ncip l es , are disposed to make common cause with the Corn-law repealers. At a meeting held at Carpenters' Hall, on Monday evening, which was attended by two thousand persons, Mr. Vincent moved a resolution that the Peo ple's Charter was sufficient for the removal of every abuse, and that the agitation for pbtaining it ought to be persevered in. A discussion afose in which the ab surdity of opposing the Anti-Corn-law movement was forcibly exposed, and the result was, that the following resolution was passed unanimously :—" That in the opinion of this meeting the Charter is just in principle and ought to be contended for ; and that the Corn-laws are unjust in principle, oppressive in their operations, and ought to be repealed."—Manchester Times. BRENTFORD PETTY SESSIONS. Yesterday Thomas Bulpit, a man of remarkably un prepossessing appearance, who, since the 28th of August last, has been several times remanded on a charge of cutting and wounding with intent to kill Mr. James Peto, about twenty-three years of age, the son of an opulent farmer at Sutton, in the parish of Heston, near Hounslow, was brought up for final examination on the charge. From the minutes of the previous proceedings, it ap peared that on the 18th of September, a medical certi ficate being laid before the Bench to the effect that Mr. Peto was apparently in a dying state, Mr. Baillie, the Chairman of the Bench, proceeded to that gentleman's house, and took the following deposition : " The said James Peto on his oath saith as follows: — On the last Friday in August I was out in the fields. The prisoner, Thomas Bulpit, had done his work con trary to my wish. I told him he must alter the sheaves before I, paid him. He told me if anything wanted doing I might do it myself, for he would not. I told him I should not think of paying him until he had al tered the sheaves. I then left him. In the evening, when I had returned home from the farm, not having seen the work, the prisoner came to me again, and I told him I should not pay him until I had seen the sheaves altered. He told me he would not leave without being paid first. I then closed the door, and he rapped at it violently, upon which I went out the second time and told the prisoner if he came down in the morning I would pay him if he had done his work pro perly. I then reasoned with his mate, who said he was satisfied, and was about leaving the court, when the prisoner said, why should you be afraid of such a b—y fool as that ?' I followed him to the gate, when he told me he would split my b—y skull, and swung a large hoe round over my head ; at which time I then went to him to take the hoe from him, when Mr. De Carle drew the hoe from his hand, after which time the prisoner struck me with the reaping hook he bad in his left hand, and then we both fell to• gether. While we were lying on the road, I told him to get up, but he would not. On my rising, I found my leg had been cat very severely. I felt the blow before I fell, but I did not know of what nature it was. I then felt my leg very much benumbed, and I said to the prisoner, ' You villain, you have cut my leg;' to, which he replied; ' Oh, it's only mud.' The prisoner then ran away. and I was taken in a chaise, by Mr. De Carle, to Mr. Frog ley,' a surgeon at Hounslow ; and on the way, meeting Hall, a policeman, told him. I told him to take the prisoner into custody. I have no doubt, the least in the world, that he struck me the blow with the hook • purposely. " JAMES PETO. " Sworn .before me this 18th day of September, 1841. , G. BAILLIE." , Mr. E. De Carle and James Kent, and Reuben Hall, policeman, gave evidence corroborative of the above de position. Mr. Frogley, surgeon, described the nature of the in juries suffered by Mr. Peto, which were of a very serious and alarming character. He could not name a period when Mr. Peto might be able to attend, and he enter tained very great doubt whether Mr. Peto would ever be able to attend. The BENCH said, in the absence of Mr. Peto, they did not see how they could commit the prisoner for trial, although they were very reluctant to again remand him. lie was then fully committed to Newgate for trial, and the witnesses bound over to prosecute. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A cabman, named John Fisher, was charged with hav ing stolen a sovereign. A bricklayer, engaged upon one of tho railroads, stated that he employed the prisoner to drive him to the City from a distant part of the town, and that upon getting out of the cab he was accused by the prisoner of an intention to bilk his fare. Witness was just going to pay the amount, when he heard the accusation, and after re - plying indignantly, three sovereigns, which he kept for the greater security in his mouth, fell upon the pave ment. He immediately picked up two of them, and he saw the prisoner stoop and pick up something (but what it was he could not then discern), and then go away. Witness was tipsy at the time. The prisoner was seen by another person to pick up the sovereign, and ran away saying that he had his fare. A policeman stated that he took the prisoner to the station-house, and suspecting that the man had the miss ing sovereign in his mouth, seized him by the throat and gave him a squeeze, which had the desired effect of mak ing the gold appear in an instant upon the floor. The prisoner, who it was said, was a respectable lad, declared that he had no defence to make, but that he la mented very much the occurrence, and was remanded. A young man, named George Hawkins, was charged with felony, under the following circumstances. A policeman stated that he took the prisoner into cus tody in Mark -lane, having seen him in a waggon there, to all appearance doing something wrong. Tic prisoner was pointed out to him by a person who had been ob serving the waggon for some time, and a box broken open was found close to him. John Cotes stated, that as he was going along Mark lane, he saw the prisoner in the waggon stooping down as if drink something, and suspected that all was not right. The prisoner seemed to him to be broaching a cask. Baker, a man in the employment of Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, carriers, stated, that as he and another man in the same employment, were proceeding to town from Camden-town with the waggon, they met the prisoner, who agreed to assist them, at the request of witness's follow-servant, in rolling off the, bales of goods. At Mark-lane, witness left the waggon to go fur sonic ship ping orders, leaving his comrade and the prisoner with the waggon, and upon his return he found every thing in the custody of the policeman. W. Mitchell, waggon-man to the prosecutor, stated that in consequence of illness he had requested the pri soner whom he had seen before, and believed to be an honest man, for he looked honest, to lend a hand. When they got to Mark-lane, Baker went tier the shipping orders, and witness, feeling very ill in the bowels, was obliged to leave the waggon in the care of the prisoner. The policeman produced a large gimlet which he found in the prisoner's inside waistcoat pocket, and with which, he had no doubt, the prisoner had forced out six nails with which the cover of the box had been fastened. There were some parcels of buttons in the box, and some under the prisoner in the waggon. A clerk of Messrs. Chaplin and Home stated that his employers were constantly obliged to pay for parcels which were stolen from their waggons, no doubt by fel lows employed by their own men to assist in the manner described. The men were under orders not on any ac count to leave the waggon. It was but the other day that Messrs. Chaplin and Home were obliged to pay 51. for a parcel which had been, as was supposed, securely packed. Mr. Nobler, jun., appeared for the prisoner, who was then remanded for further examination. GUILDHALL. Yesterday a very respectable-looking young person, named Henry Mason, was placed at the bar before the sitting Alderman on the charge of embezzling large sums of money belonging to the City of London Gas Company, Salisbury-square, Fleet-street. The investigation into the case had been entered upon some time. since, in which it appeared that the prisoner had been in the Company's employment as clerk, and in that capacity large sums of money passed through his hands on their account. When he was first employed he had procured two securities in the amount of 1,0001., and the defalcations since discovered in his accounts were considered to amount to a much larger sum ; but of this fact no decided statement could be made, as his accounts had not as yet been closed. Mr. Humphreys, who appeared for the prisoner, said his client was most anxious to afford every facility in his power to balance the accounts. He applied to have the further hearing of the case postponed. Mr. Tyrrell, who appeared on behalf of the Company, said it was his wish to allow the prisoner every fair means of defending himself. The Company entertained no hostile feeling towards him, but they felt bound for their own protection to prosecute in this case to prevent a repetition of such conduct. He should not object to the postponement. After some further consultation between the solicitors, the prisoner was ordered to be brought up again on this clay fortnight. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE PICCADILLY SALOON.-Mr. Beale, the proprietor of the Saloon in Piccadilly, was summoned by the police for " knowingly" permitting prostitutes to congregate at his house. The case was proved by Inspector Jarvis and police Sergeant Whall. They went into the saloon at night, and saw 20 or 30 women of loose character eating and drinking in the saloon. Some were alone, and others were with male companions. Mr. Wontner, who attended for the defence, asked the police how they proved that the women they saw in the saloon were common prostitutes ? The inspector answered that he could swear to having seen many of the women soliciting gentlemen in the public streets; in fact, that they regularly walked in the Quadrant at night. The men and women in the saloon were not conducting themselves in a disorderly manner, nor was there any appearance of drunkenness. Mr. Wontner said a summons had been decided before Mr. Long exactly similar in principle to the case before the Court. It had been held that the mere circumstance of women of the town entering a house for refreshment did not come within the meaning of" knowingly" har bouring improper characters. The occupation of these sort of women was sufficiently bad he admitted, but then they must sup as well as other people. Besides, it had not been satisfactorily proved that the women there were the loose characters described. • Mr. HARDWICK said it was useless to raise a clues ! doe on a matter that there could be no more doubt of than that St. Paul's was St. Paul's Ile wished to have the case put upon a broader basis than a mere technical objection or quibble. Mr. Wontner replied, he would then take his stand on the ground that no offence had been committed. There " Silverthorne v. the Worship -st ree t was a case in point, Magistrates," which was tried on appeal at the Middlesex Sessions, and the Magistrates judgment reversed. if three or four, or a dozen women of the town went into a public-house to obtain refreshment, that was not know ingly harbouring bad characters, as had been over and over again decided. Inspector Beresford said, if a publican allowed prosti tutes to congregate in his house in large numbers, he would be liable to a fine, and though the defendant was not a licensed victualler, yet his house was liable to the same rules and regulations as public-houses. Mr. Fitzpatrick, the chief clerk, said there was no penalty on publicans for serving prostitutes ; on the con trary they had a right to serve them. It had further been held at the sessions that common prostitutes were. not to be considered as " noteniously " bad characters. Mr. HARDWICK thought that the Legislature did not intend to prohibit women of immoral character from entering houses of public resort for the purpose of ob taining refreshment. A penalty was only to be imposed in cases where disorderly conduct was allowed, and where drunkenness was permitted. The evidence 01 'Pr police went to negative the inference of drunk mu st disorderly conduct, and, therefore, the summous mu De dismissed. Mr. Ilinnwzcx, addressing the Inspector, thought the police ought to confine t h em selves to ea l. in which th e y could prove drunkenness or disorderly con duct against the frequenters of the saloon• sa id be THE MARKETS PRICES OF SEEDS,.
