(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. William Flynn, an officer in the Customs, said the deceased was a relative of his, and that he had known him for nine years. He was a second cousin. He was shown a body at 3, Minver-place, on the 17th of August, upon which an in quisition was holding at the time, and it was that of Patrick O'Connor. He bad not the slightest doubt about it being the body of that person The witness stated, when he called at Minter-place to ask for O'Connor, Mrs. Manning looked pale and rather flurried. Cross-examined by Mr. Binns—l knew that the deceased had false teeth, because I have seen him without them at his lodgings, at his office, and at my own house. I saw him last two months before his death. I observed by accident that he had fah& teeth. He did not tell me that he had them. I made no observation to him upon making the discovery. Anne Armes, Mr. O'Connor's landlady, was the next witness, and went over the heads of her former evidence. On being asked if she knew Manning, she said she did not recollect him. She knew Mrs. Manning perfectly. She used to visit Mr. O'Connor frequently alone ; sometimes Manning came with her. Her sister usually opened the door. She was on friendly terms, and so was the person that came with her, whom she understood to be her husband. She deposed to Mrs. Manning coming to the deceased's lodgings and taking away the property deposed to have been stolen. Mr. Binns said there was no evidence to show that the male prisoner had ever called at the lodgings of the deceased. The identity was not made out. Mr. Bodkin said he could prove it by the sister of the last witness. Emily Armes was then sworn—She said she lived with her sister. She said she generally admitted the female prisoner. Did Mr. Manning ever come with her ?—He did. Look round the court, and see if you can point him out. The witness (pointing to Manning)— That is Mr. Manning. Mrs. Armes was here re-called—She remembered Mrs. Manning and the person who passed as her hus band dining with Mr. O'Connor, and she was in the habit of waiting at the table. About twelve months back sbe heard a conversation between them about borrowing money, and she also heard a conversation on money matters. Mr. Binns and Mr. Solomons asked some ques tions, but the only thing at all material was that Mr. O'Connor had told her not to let Mrs. Manning in any more. Had seen Mrs. Manning and Mr. O'Connor in the bed-room together. Did not know anything about whether they were intimate or not. On her oath she did not believe that they were on terms of the closest intimacy. Emily Armes was recalled—Recollected Mrs. Man ning being at her sister's on the Friday before Mr. O'Connor's death. The cash box was on the table. Mrs. Manning said she should like to buy soma rail way shares. He said " You had better buy so and so." She could not recollect the name of the line. Recollected Mrs. Manning coming in on the Thurs day at the private door. She came again on the Friday. The time was a quarter to six. She noticed the clock, because she had to send the boy out ai that time. She asked if Mr. O'Connor was in. She said he was not. She went out through the shop at a quarter past seven, having bought some cakes. She looked pale and agitated. By Mr. Solomons—llad known the female pri soner about a year and a half, during which time she came frequently to Mr. O'Connor's lodgings. Mr!, O'Connor was showing her some railway shares whilst they were talking on the day she mentioned She was not bound to go through the shop, she might have gone out by the private door if she had thought proper. Mrs. Manning and Mr. O'Connor were on friendly terms. She has often taken tea with hint alone. Re-examined—Mrs. Manning told Mr. O'Connor that she wished to be instructed how to purchase some rail way shares. By the MAGISTRATE—Knew Mrs. Manning went into the bed-room, because she used to push up the window and water the flowers. Mr. William Massey, the medical student who lodged in Manning's house, was then called and sworn. He repeated his evidence as to the conversa tion with Manning, when he asked him what drug would produce stupefaction or partial intoxication, in order to induce a person to put his hand to a promissory note for 5001., and also as to other con versations both with the male and female prisoners. His (witness's) reply to the question whether lauda num or chloroform would produce stupefaction was, that he believed those drugs had been used for bad purposes. On another occasion Manning asked which was the most dangerous part of the head to hit? and he replied, under the ear; and also when he was talking about Rush, whether he thought a murderer would go to heaven ? Manning observed, at the same time, that he thought he would go to Madame Tassaud's and see the figure of that murderer. Another question was asked about the noise made by an air gun. Witness thought that these questions were asked with the view of getting him to become a party to their acts. Cross-examined by Mr. Binns—l wrote two or three letters to O'Connor, by the direction of the Mannings, inviting him to dinner. Ido not know when the first letter was written ; the second, I think, was written in the middle of July. Mr. O'Connor came to Manning's house after the second or third letter was written. I cannot swear whether he was there three times, but I think he was there three times. I don't believe I saw him after the last letter. I went into the country on Monday, the sth August, and I wrote the last letter to O'Connor very nearly a fortnight before then. To the best of my recollection, it might be a week or more before the sth. I put my name to that letter. The male prisoner and I were not on bad terms before I left London. There was some dispute about money ; he claimed 131. and I found that he afterwards sent a bill into the country for 151. Re-examined—l once had a quarrel with him in the presence of some medical students about a bet. We left on tolerable terms. I lodged with the pri soners altogether nine or ten weeks. Mr. Coleman, the owner of 3, Minver-place, gave a repetition of his former evidence. At the conclusion of his examination, Mr. Bodkin said he understood it was the intention of one of the legal advisers of the prisoners to apply for the postponement of their trial at the Old Bailey until the session after next, and if such were the case, he trusted that both of those gentlemen would concur in making an application to the magistrate, so as to avoid the enormous and needless expense of keeping the wit nesses in attendance next session upon the grand jury. lie (Mr. Bodkin) would be prepared to state to-morrow morning whether he could consent to the application on the part of the Crown. Mr. Solomons said his client (Mrs. Manning) de sired him to state that she wished the fullest and most ample inquiry into the matter concerning the death of the deceased, and he had no objection to the course proposed by Mr. Bodkin. It was understood that Mr. Binns coincided in the suggestion, and at a quarter past four the magistrate adjourned the further hearing of the evidence until twelve o'clock to-morrow, when Mr. Bodkin will give a reply. The court was nearly cleared before the pri soners were removed from the dock. Manning did not once move from the position he firkt took on the side of the dock, and he only spoke once to his solicitor during the exa mination, to which he gave great attention. He looked pale, but appeared quite at his ease. Mrs. Manning, on the contrary, several times turned round in the course of the evidence, and consulted with Mr. Solomons. Towards the close of the proceedings she looked very fatigued. More than once she was noticed to turn slightly round and give a searching glance into her husband's face, but when he observed her, he hung down his head. At a Special Meeting of the Board of Congrega tional Ministers in London, held this morning, it was resolved to recommend that Wednesday next be set apart by the Churches of the Congregational Order, in London and the country, as . a day of humiliation and rayer,ia!)e3rtn3a t o the prevailing epidemic,--Patriot, WEST LONDON RAILWAY. The usual half-yearly meeting of this company took place yesterday at the London Tavern. H. H. Grounds, Esq, the chairman of the company, took the chair shortly after one o'clock ; and the usual preliminary proceedings having been gone through, W. Tuomsorf, Esq., the secretary of the company, read the following report : " In conformity with the expressed wishes of the proprietors, the directors, since the last meeting, have endeavoured, by continued negotiation, to prevail upon the London and North-Western Company to fulfil the engagements they . have entered into with this company, and at once to bring the line into full operation for the conveyance both of passengers and goods. " The further correspondence on this subject having led to no beneficial results, the directors determined to obtain an interview with the directors of the London and North-Western Company, believing that if an op portunity were afforded for personal explanations, it might lead to a better understanding, and that some satisfactory arrangement might be come to. " A meeting accordingly took place on the 15th ult. between the directors of this company and a committee of the directors of the London and North-Western Com pany, when, after considerable discussion, the West Lon don directors were informed that the London and North- Western Company will not work the line for p assengers, as they are convinced there would be no passenger-traffic upon it, and that they will not stop any o f th e i r through trains, for the accommodation of passengers, at the junction of the two lines—that the goods traffic increasing ; an d th at every upon the line is rapidly facility and encouragement will be given for the further increase of that traffic; that they have no present inten tion of making the extension line to the Thames, as they have ascertained it would not pay them for the outlay ; and they have reason to believe the Great Western Company have arrived at the same con clusion respecting it—that they will not pay any com pensation to this company, as they do not admit they have been guilty of any breach of covenant. " The London and North-Western Company have hitherto declined to work the line for passenger traffic, on the ground that they could not do so with profit to themselves, until the extension line to the Thames was formed, but as their declarations to this effect were always accompanied by an assurance that no delay s hould take place in carry i ng t h e extension lineinto effect, the directors were content to let the matter rest upon that understanding, at the same time reserving tilt right of this company to claim com pensation for the delay. It now, however, appears that the London and North-Western Company have not only abandoned all intention of making the extension line, but that they positively refuse to work the existing line at all for passenger traffic. " This is a subject which vitally affects the interests of this company, the passenger traffic upon the line having always been considered by the proprietors as one of their chief sources of income. To show how completely erroneous is the opinion expressed by the London and North-Western directors at the late conference, that no passengers would use the line, even if trains were placed upon it for their accom modation, it is only necessary to call attention to the tact of the very large and increasing population of the districts the line was intended to accommodate; and taking into account the character, as well as the great extent of this population, there would necessarily be, i‘ proper faciliti es an d accommo d a ti o n w ere a ff or d e d, a very large passenger traffic upon the line; but no mea sures have yet been taken t.) test and develop this traffic, and it is therefore somewhat unreasonable to assume that none would exist. With respect to the formation of the Thames ex tension line, the directors admit that the London and North-Western Company are under no legal obligation to this company, but as regards the working of the ex isting line for passenger traffic, the directors are advised that the lessees are bound, legally and equitably, to work it as well for passengers as for goods; and that this obligation extends not only to the traffic to and from ho London and North-Western Railway, but to and from the Great Western Railway also. " The directors regret exceedingly the determination which has been come to by the London and North- Western Company ; and they find the difficulties of their own position very much increased by it. In the altered circumstances they thought it advisable to consult the principal shareholders in the company as to the proper course to be pursued, and a meeting was held for the purpose ; but they found so great a difference of opinice existing amongst them, that they have considered it best to leave the subject to the decision of a general meeting. " The goods traffic on the railway appears to be slowly and steadily increasing, and no doubt can be entertainer: that if proper facilities are given by the lessees for the further increase of this traffic, it will become of consi derable importance; at present, however, it is quirt, insignificant as a source of income. " The increase in the traffic upon the railway has pro duced a corresponding increase in the traffic upon tilt Kensington Canal ; the increased traffic has, however, been principally in one direction, viz , from the canal to the railway, and not as might have been expected from the railway to the canal, the respective quantities conveyed :luring the last half-year having been in the former direction 10,067 tons, and in the latter 1,905 tons. thereby showing that the canal has been rather a feeder to the railway, than the railway to the canal, which wonlo scarcely have been the case if proper facilities had beet, afforded by the lessees for the conveyance of goods by the West London line to the river. The tonnage on th, canal for the half-year ending the 30th of June last, %as is the aggregate 31 500 tons, the gross receipts from which amounted to 3601. 0,7. 2d." From a statement of the receipts and disbursements of the company, it appeared that the present assets of the company were 5,0881. lls. 7d., that their liabilities were 3,1501., and that the available balance was 1,164/. 6s. Bd. The CHAIRMAN then rose to move the adoption of the report. He said—Most of the gentlemen present are, I believe, already acquainted with nearly every thing that has occurred since our last general meet ing, and it will therefore be unnecessary for me to trouble you at any length. You have heard from the report which has been read that, after trying in vain every other means to induce the London and North- Western Company to fulfil their engagements to us, we determined to have a personal conference with their directors, a course which was suggested by yourselves at the last meeting. The conference was neld, and its result seriously disappointed us. We were met with great courtesy, but a firm refusal was given to all our applications. We called upon them to carry out their contract with us fully and fairly, according to their original intention, and to the un derstanding of all parties at the time it was entered into. We told them that understanding clearly and undoubtedly was, that they were immediately to work the line for passengers and goods in such manner as to make it productive of income to all classes of shareholders in this company ; and that they were to make the extension line to the Thames as soon as Parliamentary powers could be obtained for the pur pose. We reminded them of the repeated promises which had been made to us that the whole of this should be done, and we called upon them, as a matter of common justice to us, to carry into effect their original intentions. We were, however, unable to obtain from them any assurance that they would do so; on the contrary, they told us, as you have heard, that the extension line would not be made, and that under no circumstances would they work the line for passenger traffic, or stop any of their through trains at the point of junction of the two lines. With respect to the extension line, they told us circumstances had changed, that they had re-considered the subject, and on making fresh calculations they found it would not repay them for its cost, if made. We regret this determination, entertaining as we do a very different opinion of the value and importance of the extension line ; and we think if the London and North-Western Company did not intend to carry it into effect, it would have been much better if they had not taken the measure out of the hands of our proprietors, who had at the time subscribed the full amount of capital re, quired to make it. As regards passenger traffic we are still firmly of opinion that it would be very large if the line were properly worked. The population in its immediate vicinity is immense, and is besides essen tially a travelling population, but why don't they try by actual experiment whether there would be any passenger traffic or not; it might very easily be done, but they have never yet placed a passenger carriage on the line, and therefore it is mere matter of opinion on their parts. Suppose Kensington or Hammer smith were placed at the other end of the line instead of where they now are, do you think they would not then stop their trains at the junction ? Why, they would be but too glad, in that case, to make it a fi rs t- c l a ss station, and atop every one of their trains at it. Why, then, should they not stop their trains at the junction now ? It is not only Kensington and Ham mersmith that would be accommodated, but other equally important districts. This, gentlemen, is not a question affecting ourselves only, but the public residing in the districts I have referred to have great cause to complain of not having that accommodation given to them which the line was intended to afford; and we are somewhat surprised that they have not already taken some decided steps in the matter. It was asserted by Captain Huish, at the late conference, that every encouragement has been given to the in crease of the goods traffic upon the line ; but we are unable to discover in what way this has been done. It was admitted by Captain Huish that a saving of more than 2s. a ton is effected to the London and North-Western Company by every ton of goods sent over the West London Railway, and intended for the river,—why then are a larger amount of goods not sent by that route ? The North-Western Com pany are the sole carriers upon their own line, and can send the goods by whatever route they please—at all events the small quantity of 1,905 tons having been sent over the line, from the North-Western Railway during the last half-year, does not look much like encouragement. Mr. LovEness, in seconding the adoption of the re port, addressed the meeting at considerable length, and after adverting to the negotiations that had taken place between the company and the London and North-Western Company, deprecated in strong terms the course that had been adopted by the latter company. After some discussion the report was received and adopted, and ordered to be printed and circulated among the proprietary. . . A. resolution was then moved and adopted requesting the directors to call a special meeting, for the purpose of con'idering the terms of the lease with the North- Western Railway Company, with a view to obtain a performance of the covenants of it. There was also a resolution that in future the accounts should be printed, and circulated among the proprietors,. ten days before the half-yearly meeting. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman and direc tors, and the meeting adjourned at a late hour. FRANCE. Tne Reforme says—" On Saturday all the pri soners detained at St. Pelagic, who are to be tried by the High Court, [received at six o'clock the order to be ready to leave in half an hour. They were placed in cellular vehicles, like foNats, without having been able to take any of the measures necessary under such circumstances. On arriving at the Conciergerie, each of them was placed in a cell of the narrowest dimensions, and, what is difficult to be conceived, they have up to this day been refused, in spite of their demands, a table and I chair. Thus, then, there are six men who are threatened with one of the severest condemnations, out who cannot even take a note to prepare their defence. The six prisoners are citizens Napoleon Lebon, A. Baune, Paya, Fraboulet. Dufelix, and Lemaitre." M. Proudhon has addressed the following letter, from the Conciergerie, to the editor of the Temps : " Sir,—"You have guessed rightly. The letter which you have given in your number from the Progres de r Aube was not written by me. I neither wrote to the Congress of Peace Dor its Hon. President. I do not, thank God, believe in the niaiseries of the Abbe de Saint Pierre; and if I believe that war must be one day abolished between men, I expect that result fro m causes more profound than the mystical toleration of which MM. Deguerry and Coquerel gave euch an .difying example, and from free trade supported by Cobden. Universal peace is like universal riches ; it • will exist when there will be neither op pressed nor erploites, but that is what the Pope, and his beloved sons the Kings have taken good care to prevent. The Congress of Peace, in my opinion, is ally the commencement of a doctrinaire and jesuitical noly alliance against the invasion of democratic and aocialist ideas, a piece of Malthusian juggling. On this account you may be certain, sir, that I reserve it some thing else than compliments. Salutation and Fraternity." We read in the Constitutionnel " The cholera which has now been raging in Paris for nearly six months, has not diminished during the last fortnight, but without, as some persons believe, ac quiring any fresh intensity. The daily number of deaths in the hospttals continue to be about 20, and in private practice about the same or rather more. 10,195 deaths in private practice, and 8,406 in the hospitals, form the total of 18,611, which was stated on the 31st ult.; that is to say, the mortality from cholera since its first appearance exceeds by about 200 that of 1832; it is true that the population of Paris in the seventeen years has increased about 300,000; io that the proportion furnished by the first invasion has not been reached by the second; but even this similarity in the mortality of the two periods, the time which has expired since its appearance, and the Approach of a new season, may lead to the hope that the scourge will be soon removed. Vienna, Berlin, and London, are at the present time suffering more than e'aris; at Berlin, the deaths are more than 40 a day, eith a population three times less than ours; in London, the daily average is 200. The disease is also 'aging in Lombardy; at Brescia, the deaths from the .oth to the 18th ult. were 182. The statistics of the _holera, made up in different countries, and in several if our departments, show that the mortality in certain small localities, where attention of all kind is often Nanting, is more considerable than in large towns. One 'tact stated by M. Contour,, in an interesting work on_ the cholera in Russia, replies to those sceptics, who accuse the faculty of complete want of power to arrest the tisease. Among the numerous and various religious sects which exist in Russia, there are seine who impose it as a duty on their followers to refuse all assistance or ,he use of any remedies ; among these fatalists the lisease therefore, makes great ravages ; almost all cases prove fatal, whilst at Moscow, the mortality in the hos intals had varied trout sixty-two to thirty-six per cent." POLICE INTELLIGENCE itrANSIOA-HOUSE. Isidore Yurbiowsky, a G-errivan Jew, was brought before the Lord Mayor for final examination, upon the charge of having attempted to violate a little girl who worked for him for miserable pay. Mr. Brown, a surgeon, deposed that the attempt had been made, hut had not been successful. the officer who apprehended the prisoner, said, the prisoner confessed that he had made the at tempt, and that the confession had been made in English, although he pretended at the first examina tion not to he able to speak a word of the language. The LORD MAYOR asked the child what pay she received from the prisoner? to which she replied, that all she got tor her week's labour was three-halfpence, and that her mother had determined not to let her work for him any more. _ _ The LORD MAYOR--I commit the prisoner for trial. Mr. Goodman (the chief clerk) said, there was a casus OntiSSUS in the Act which prevented, in a case of misdemeanour, the expenses of the prosecution from being paid, and the parents of the child, who was under twelve years of age, were very poor in deed, and could not afford to pay anything whatever. The LORD MAyou said, it would be monstrous to allow a case of such a nature to fall to the ground from a defect in an Act of Parliament when the pa rents were too poor to prosecute. When female children, to eke out the scanty income of their indi gent parents, were driven to go out to work, they were placed in the power of their employers, and the law was bound to throw its protection around them. He should direct the City Solicitor to pro secute, The child's father begged to say a word. The parents of the prisoner were, he believed, in a state of great poverty, and the prisoner was the only sup port of them and some brothers and sisters. They had implored him to ask for his Lordship's merciful consideration. The 14( M 'd 11(2 JORD .ATOR sau le could not attend to any such suggestion. He placed the case in the hands of the City Solicitor to prosecute. Cummitttd for trial. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, SEPT. I.—Comorn and Peterwardein still continue to hold out, although the rumour of the surrender of the former is circulated here to-day. The officers sent to Georgey from the fortress of Comorn, via., Count Paul Esterhazy and Otto Zichy, lid not return thither ; but an Imperial officer was lispatched to Comorn to announce an extension of the tmnesty, including the officers formerly in the Austrian service. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the Ist Sept. says : •` Kossuth with his wife, Bem, Dembinsky, Messaros; And Szemere, arrived in New Orsova, and continued their journey to Nikopoli, under an escort of Turkish soldiers. It was reported in Vienna, on the Ist, that a full pardon has been granted to Georgey, and that he will set out for Styria. FOREIGN FUNDS. HAMBURGII FUNDS, Ago. 31. Bills. Money.

Langbam, deputy coroner for Westminster, held inquests in Milibank prison on the bodies of four convicts, who h a d di e d i n the prison of cholera during that and the previous day. The names of the deceased were Mary Ridler, aged 18, a convict under sentence of seven years' transportation; Mary Ann Alder, 23 ; Frances Poynter, 43; and Guildford Hyde Watts, 24. The evidence adduced in all the cases was of a similar character ; and that given by Dr. Baily, resident physician, was most important, as pointing out the source of the disease. He attributed it to the stench arising from the bone boiling on the opposite side of the river. On Saturday last the wind changed, so as to blow from the south, and since then the stench had been frightful. A juryman stated from his own knowledge that when the wind was from the south the stench was so dreadful as to compel steam boat passengers on the river to put their handkerchiefs to their noses. On Monday the effluvium was so dread ful that two persons passing over Vauxhall-bridge were suddenly attacked with cholera. Dr. Baily observed that Government was determined, if possible, to stop the nuisance, and that orders had been given to the Treasury solicitor to prosecute the whole of the bone-boilers. The jury in each case returned a verdict of " Death from Asiatic cholera." HEALTH OF THE TROOPS AT PORTSDIOUTH.—As a proof of the purity of the air of this locality, we have to mention, with much satisfaction, that by the returns of the health of the troops in this garrison, for the week ending the 4th instant, out of 2,302 men in the regi ments quartered here, only 75 are on the doctors' lists, from colds and other diseases, being only about 3k per cent —Hampshire Guardian. THE C&NVICT MITCHEL.--Our advices from Liverpool report that the Neptune, from Bermuda, had arrived at Pernambuco en route for the Cape of Good Hope, having on board John Mitchel; no Jetails are given relative to the prisoner, lIIIINUIEB. GUILDHALL. William Jordan, of 89, Waterloo road, who had his arm broken, was charged before Alderman Law rence with being drunk, and incapable of driving his horse and cart. Robert Allen, 321, stated that about nine o'clock the provious evening he saw the prisoner (who had been bailed out) driving a light spring cart down Ludgate-hill, and when opposite St. Martin's Church the horse fell, and Jordan, another man, and a female, were thrown out of the cart. The woman was taken to a surgeon's in the neighbourhood in an insensible state, and it was found that one of her thumbs had been fractured. The other man had his wrist broken. Witness took the prisoner, who was very much in toxicated, to the station, and charged him with being drunk and incapable of driving his horse, upon which he was locked up. About two o'clock in the morning the prisoner complained of a great pain in his arm, upon which he was taken to the hospital, and on exa mination it was found that he had broken his arm ist two places, although he had not given the slightest intimation previously of having received any in jury. His arm was set and he was afterwards bailed out. Alderman LAWRENCE asked the prisoner what he was ?—Jordan replied that he was a butcher by trade, and certainly was tipsy when the. accident occurred. He and his friends had suffered severely through his folly. _ Alderman LAWRENCE—WeII, you have paid dearly for your indiscretion in getting intoxicated, and I hope it will be a warning for you in future. You are discharged. Jordan thanked the Alderman, and then left the court. Sir PETER LAURIE took the opportunity of stating publicly that there was no want of hospital room in the City for cholera patients. He bad been to St. Thoma.,'s Hospital, and had ascertained that due pro vision had been made at that noble institution for the emergency of the times ; that hitherto no cholera patient had been refused admission ; and that there was ample preparation should such patients be brought in. He had also been to St. Bartholomew': Hospital that day, and he was gratified to find that ample accommodation had been also provided there, and that there were at. that house several vacant beds. MARLBOROUGH-Si BEET. An elderly woman made the following statement to Mr. Hardwick :—One of her daughters was mar ried to a bricklayer named Thomas Read. About four years ago her daughter was confined, and another of her daughters went to nurse her. The husband took advantage of the circumstance to seduce his wife's sister, and the result of the intercourse was a little boy, now about three years old, by whom she was accompanied. The child had been sworn to the father, and an order to pay a stated sum per week made on him. The child was given into her care by her daughter, and she continued to maintain it, with what she could get from the father and her own labour, up to the present time. For some time past, however, the father had refused to contribute to the support of his offspring. The mother of the child had totally abandoned it by going off with a man to Aus tralia. Now, as the whole burden of the child's maintenance was thrown upon her, and as she was a woman who worked for her living, and far advanced in years, she was totally unable to keep the child, and she wished, therefore, to know if the Magistrate would assist her to get the child into Marylebone workhouse, as that was the child's parish. Mr. HARDWICK having procured the attendance of Mr. Carter, one of the overseers of Marylebone, in quired if the parish objected to take the child into the workhouse, under the peculiar circumstances of the case ? Mr. Carter was quite willing to do what the law required, but he apprehended the law did not reach the present case. The parish could only act against the tether through the instrumentality of the mother, except in certain specified cases, and this was not one of them. Mr. HARDWICK said the parish was empowered to act against the father where the mother was either dead, insane, in prison, or transported. In a case like the present, where the mother had gone to a colony of her own accord, the law make no provision to enable the parish to act; still, if the parish was willing to try the question, he would have no objec tion to issue his summons against the putative father. Mr. Carter said he was always unwilling to com mence proceedings in cases where he felt any doubt of being able to carry them on to a successful issue. It was astonishing how well the defects and omissiot a of the Bastardy Act were understood by persons who came within its operation, and how eager they were to shelter themselves from the penalty by laying hold of any legal flaw or difficulty. However, he would do what he could in the present instance, and he would lay the case before the board to-morrow (this day). ale grandmother was ordered to attend with the deserted little child before the Marylebone board et twelve o'clock. MARYLEBONE. James Minchin was placed at the bar before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Long, on the charge of having wilfully set fire to a hayrick, the property of Mr. Robert Young, Brent-street, Hendon, and thereby caused damage to the amount of upwards of 601. Police-constable Field, 300 S, said—Yesterday evening, as I was on duty in the New Finchley road, by Golder's-green, I saw a hayrick on fire, and on repairing to the spot I observed that the rick had been lighted at the bottom. On looking round I observed, at a distance of 20 yards, the heel of a shoe protruding from a heap of rubbish, and on my laying hold of it I drew forth the prisoner. I asked him if he knew anything of the fire, and he replied that he did not. I told him that I should take him into custody upon suspicion of having fired the rick, and on my searching his pockets I found in one of th em six lucifer-matches, which he said he carried for the purpose of lighting his pipe. He had neither pipe nor tobacco in his possession. The prisoner declined to put any questions to the witness. Other evidence was gone into, from which it mai shown that the loss sustained by Mr. Young was no less than 651. The prisoner, who had nothing to say, was committed for trial. The inspector mentioned to the Magistrate the singular and painful fact that one of his constables, named Sibley, who was at the scene of conflagration, and who for some time past had been suffering from a disease of the heart, died at three o'clock that (yesterday) morning, his death having, in all proba bility, been accelerated by the excitement into which he had, under the peculiar circumstances, been thrown. Margaret Keefe, an Irishwoman, living at 2, Little Park-street, was charged with having violently as saulted Mr. Kirby, one of the keepers of the poor, at the Mary lebone workhouse. Complainant's evidence was, that on the same morning he received a medical certificate of the death of one of defendant's children by cholera, and the document set forth that the body should be instantly removed. Complainant accordingly repaired to the place, and on his demanding that the body should be delivered up, and deposited in the dead-house until the burial should take place, de fendant abused him most grossly, and struck him several times. He said he had no wish to press harshly against the prisoner, ns regarded the assault upon him. He did not succeed in hi.; attempt to bring the child away, and he wished to call his Worship's attention to the fact that in the room where the dead child was lying, there were six other children living with the father and mother. Every room in the house had a family in it, and the place altogether was most unhealthy and likely to engender cholera. The MAGISTRATE (Mr. Long) impressed upon the defendant the necessity of her suffering the child to be removed by the parish officers, who were quite I willing to let her bury it in her own way and at her own expense. The prisoner we s discharged. IVEST,:jIVS7'EII. Richard Mahoney end Jahn Blake were charged with misconduct at the house of Richard Harrison, grocer, Coleshiil street, Pimlico; and John Thorn with attempting to rescue the prisoner Mahoney. Beckerson, en inspector of the A division, before the charges were proceeded with, infOrmed the magistrate that the complainant in this instance Was the person who, with his wife, was held to bail about a foienight ago at this court, to answer the charge of cruelty to their child et the next Middlesex sessienst sad ever since their appearance before the magistrate, there lied been continually a large crowd of persons opposite their shop, the presence of three or four con stables at a time being necessary to preserve order. The evidence went to show that the moment Bar' rison put his head out of the door to close his shop shutters, a number of mi-siles were discharged at him by the mob, and he was suddenly justied into the shutter box, and struck on the head. The b Mahoney was seen to throw a handful of something at Harrison, and the latter appeared to entertain $ strong opinion that Blake was oee of those who thrust him into the shutter-box , while the police clearly proved that Thorn laid held of Mahoney, ender' voured to pull him away from the constable, and said be should not be taken. Alahoney admitted he threW a bundle of small sticks at complainant; but Blake denied in the 1 11 ° 5t positive terms that he had touched the complainant, and Thorn said he meant no harm. Mr. BURRELL fined Mahoney and Thorn 100. each, or, in default, 10 days; but as there appeared to be some doubt with respect to Blake, he would giv ° him the benefit of it and discharge him. The worthl, Magistrate ob serve d, th a t if any more o f thi s sort ot conduct took place he should feel it his duty to punish it with the utmost severity. WORSHIP-STREET. A donation of 10/. was received by the magistrates from " A Lady at Merton," who desired that th e amount might be applied to the relief of the numerous poor families in Bethnal-green and Shoreditch wh o had been placed in a state of destitution from the ra: vages of the prevailing epidemic. The half of a 5 ; note (No. 69,436, 14th July, 1849) was also received from an anonymous correspondent, who promised t° transmit the remaining moiety upon seeing the 0 1 acknowledged in the daily papers. Mary Ann Darla, an elderly woman of repull aspect, who was well known t o th e p o li ce , was place, at the bar, before Mr. Arnold, charged on suspicion t$ having administered some stupifying ingredients to $, young orphan girl, nam e d S ara h Hunt, 14 years 0 ' age, and with having subsequently robbed her of th . greater part of her clothing. Mr. ARNOLD said that it was a very serious chal ; g7 and as the positive testimony of the complaina n t which he saw no reason to dis c r e dit, was co rroborate', to some extent by the evidence of other itnPe rti ' i witnesses, he should order th e p r i soner t o b e reinantie d until Tuesday next.

BARNET CATTLE FAlR.—This extensive fair 05 mtiated sterday afternoon much to the satisfacti on the graziers, salesmen, and breeders of cattle, who °c, c o ceeded in disposing of almost the whole of their 11 4 stock. The above fair is held chiefly for the exposure 7, store beasts to be laid down in the grazing counties I°' tuture purposes, when they are transferred into the ser ral markets both in London and th e p rov i nc es J c)r slaughtering. This fair is not very attractive to ttie butchers in and around the metropolis, although the% was a good show or fat beasts. For Welsh younglid,,i there was a current call during th e l as t two days, r"-. more than 2,000 being left to be sent on to Harlow O h ; in Essex. The fair upon the re cen t occas i on msY regarded as one of the best, both for stock and for tra"4 which has ,ccurred in Barnet for some years past; 7 the proprietors of the numerous ions have reape%, beneficial harvest during the three days of its 01)" tintiance. RAILWAY ROBBERIES.—A somewhat novel descrig: tion of fraud has just been discovered through th e oo vity of the police. It c ons i sts i n t h e rem oval of to legitimate tickets of di rect i on f rom parce l s of gnetd,ilete be transf rred by r a il wa y, and substituting other t i c bee directed to a person wh o ac t s as rece i ver i n some dea. town than that for which the goods were really int ° o e This alteration is ell cted after the goods have bees etbe tered, and immediately before they are place d ill Of vans, and it can only b e d one th roug h t h e connivanc e as till company's serva n t s , or by th e exerc i se o f very q rat dexterity on the part of the fraudulent parties. A re . in Huddersfield, woollen cloth manufacturers, ha ve , cently been robbed in this way to a c o ns iderable el t w to the tickets of consignments which they bad ola cle i o g London having been removed, and the goods ha ° o 4, found their way to Manchester, to a ma n named ",.s• the receiver of the gang, who, howev e r, is DOW in r e. tody. Two men, we believe, have also been tP e r r y headed in Huddersfield, who were concerned in t u o b. moval of the real directions from the g oods and in 5 stituting fraudulent ones. 1 self ROYAL ARSENAL.—The Marquis of MO t o Master-General of the Ordnance, has not f o rgotte o s er • service rendered to him on the field of Waterloo by 5 0 9 1 gesnt-Major Jones Stride, of t. , :e 23d Light Drep - oi who dismounted terld gave his horse to the Field- Ma r ja when the gallant Marepis's own horse was stuck fa ' t of the mud and could not bt,: extricated in a enoal e .",, te d great danger. The Sergeant- Major has been apP c ,° l re • within the last week to be a foreman in the DI - t o keeper's department at tke Royal Arsenal, and will en to the situation ..n his p4s,ang the Medical Board. It / at • be recollected that the Marquis lost s i g h t o f Sergel i v i o e Major Stride from the period of th e b att l e o f Vi r st e o , until Major Forbes, commanding the Woolwich diti s ' - o f introduced him to the Fi id-Marshal at the last review Ar the Chelsea Pensioners in Hy par , when de- ,kth e fl medals were presented to them. rADVERT • • - I A L ISLAIIINT.
