The Encumbered Estates Commissioners are giving great satisfaction to at least the practitioners in their Court and the petitioners, by the deference and attention which they pay to the convenience and reasonable wishes of the respective parties. Landed property to the amount of nearly 3,000,0091. (late estimate) has already come under the supervision of the Court ; but no sales have yet taken place. The Commission sat in the Prerogative Court to day, when an instance was given of the desire to oblige which has hitherto marked the proceedings. Absolute orders were pronounced in several mat ters in which counsel appeared to show cause ; and it appearing that in the majority of these cases the oppo sition to the making absolute of the conditional order arose from the desire of the party showing cause to have the carriage of t he proceedings, the Court took occasion to observe that the making absolute of an order for sale had nothing to do with the carriage of the proceedings. The Court would invariably grant the carriage to the party who it would be most desirable for the advantage of the estate should have it. Therefore it was not necessary for a person who wished to change the carriage cf the proceed ings, to come and oppose the making abso lute of the conditional order to effect that object, which could be much more conveniently effected by the presentation of a short petition, which the Com missioners would hear in Chamber. The profession should understand that the two matters were not to be mixed up, and that an order for sale would be pronounced when a proper case was made out, with out regard to who should have the carriage of the proceedings. The Court adjourned till Friday. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY, Nov. 28.—REDUCTION IN THE RATE OF DlSCOUNT.—Yesterday afternoon the Directors of the Bank of Ireland, following the ex ample of the Bank of England, reduced the rate of discount—on English bills from four to three and a half per cent. ; and on Irish bills from five to four per cent. These rates are higher than the Bank of Eng land ; but it appears to be the policy of our banks to maintain a larger percentage. The other Irish banks will, of course, follow the example of the Bank of Ireland. For a week or two past there has been a tendency to advance in Government securities, and also in the shares of well circumstanced companies ; and this reduction of discounts is calculated to render it still more decided. There has been, since August last, a steady increase in the issue of notes and bullion by the Irish banks, amounting in the aggregate to nearly a million sterling ; and there is no doubt that the next monthly return will show a further consider- 1 1 able augmentation. These are gratifying indication of improvement, after a long period of unexampled depression ands uffering. TIIE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD AND THE Pokciraus.—The Tipperary Vindicator contains the following curious statement :—" The Marquis of Waterford's keepers lately apprehended two men named Gaul and Kerns setting traps for game in the Curraghmore preserves, and brought them before his Lordship, who appeared incensed at the depredations continually made on his game, and threatened to have summary punishment inflicted on the offenders. They however took occasion to state their circumstances to the angered nobleman, and in the end expressed their desire to leave a country where employment could not be bad, and to go to America. The Marquis's resentment was disarmed, and he ordered a sum of 201. to be given to defray the costs of their passage." COLLECTION OF POOR RATES.—At a meeting of the Drogheda Board of Guardians, on Thursday, a co mmunication was read from the Commissioners, with reference to the inquiries respecting the mode of distraining property for non-payment of rate. The reply was, that the collector, in lieu of the con stabulary officer, can legally execute the warrant, and take with him such assistance as he may think necessary. The collector, after seizing cattle, in case there is no pound, is bound to support them, and de- 1 duct the expense of their keep out of the price pro duced by their sale. —Drogheda Argus. EMIGRANT PAUPER GIRLS.—From a COMMIDI - addressed from the " Australian Emigration" office to the Poor-law Commissioners, it is our pleasing duty to announce that the girls sent from' Tuam Union have given great satisfaction, both by their conduct en the voyage and after arrival. Every one of them has received comfortable situations and high wages.—Tuam Herald. ACCIDENT ON THE HOEYWOOD RAILWAY.—On Thursday morning, at an early hour, as one of the engines was proceeding to the watering place, a short distance from the terminus, it ran against a lorry, which, by some mistake, had been left, on the main line, and one of the navvies who was in it at the time was thrown out, and had one of his legs broken. The navvies engaged upon the line were assembled near the terminus awaiting the engine to carry them on to the Comber line, at which they are now engaged, and, observing the accident that bad happened to their comrade, they surrounded the engine for the purpose of maltreating the driver, and, in all probability, would have taken his life upon the spot, had he not jumped off and run to the station for protection. As it was, he received great abuse, one of the navvies having struck him with a spade over the right eye, thereby inflicting a very severe wound. The man who was thrown from the lorry was taken to the hospital, where his leg was "set." —.Northern Whig. MENDICANTS AND PAUPERS.—We have received so many complaints respecting the unfeeling condue . of relieving officers of the Limerick Union, in re. fusing tickets of admission to the workhouses b pitiable objects of distress, whose emaciated appear , ance displays almost the shadow of human beings, That we are compelled to direct the attention of the guardians to this grievance. Friday, a poor woman, with six children, who did obtain tickets of admission from a relieving officer, when arrested by the police as vagrants, were refused at the workhouse from which they had been previously famishing. Our streets swarm with beggars, and they all exclaim "we will not be taken into the workhouse."—Limerick Chronicle. THE POTATO Caor.—We are happy to be able to state that this valuable crop is this locality.—Tuam Herald. AUSTRIA. " It is a mistake," says a Vienna letter of the 23d, " that some German and French journals have an nounced that a reduction is to be made in the Austrian army. The truth is, that tle number of furloughs in the army of Hungary is to be restricte d, the lev y of recruits is continuing, and the volunteers, who had 1 only engaged themselves for the campaign , ar e de tained. The garrison of Pesth, moreover, is to be I increased to 16,000 men, and it is sail that that of ' Vienna is also to be augmented." The Austrian Lloyds of Vienna states that on the i 221 about 11,0001b5., silver and gold, were received by Messrs. Rothschild of that city from Paris. Prince Felix of I fohenlohe, President of the German i A.sociation for the Protection of a National Industry, `has written to the Ministry of Commerce of Austria, ! in its name, to express gratitude for the propositions made by Austria, of a Customs' union with Germany, and to declare that the association will co-operate by all means in its power of promoting the success of a scheme calculated to be so favourable to Ger many. On the other hand, the Manufacturing As sociation of Lower Austria has resolved to call on similar societies in Austrie, to join it in taping measures to prevent national industry from being injured, as is threatened by the Ministerial mea- sures. The Cologne Gazette publishes letters from a cor respondent, who has recently made an excursion into Hungary. He declares that lamentable misery and desolation reign in the land ; that only old men, women, and children are to be seen, and that they are in want of necessaries; and that fertile and cultivated lands have fallen to a lower price than that of the virgin forests of America. Count Szedchenyi, a Magyar magnate of high rank, attached to the household of the mother of the Emperor of Austria, and noted for his devotedness to his Imperial family, has just resigned. This (says the Entancipotion of Brussels) has created some sensation, as it is considered an indication of unfa vourable sentiments among the Conservative party of Hungary. The Austrian Constitution of the 41a March has just been promulgated in Transylvania. STATE OF TRADE. The Evenement states that MM. Pasquier, Mole, and Guizot, have offered their support t o the Presi dent of the Republic on certain conditions, the first of which is that an appeal should be made to the country in order to prolong the term of Louis Bona parte's power. The Committee on Transportation has rejected, by 19 votes to 5, the system of temporary transportation, proposed by one of its members as a middle term, to be adapted in place of that for life, proposed by the Government. The sub committee, charged to decide on the place to be selected to send persons to, has pronounced against the island Mayotte, on the ground that the official documents consulted on the point are unfavourable to the salubrity of the coutry. The Gazette des Tribunaux gives n the following details relative to the arrests in the Rue Rumfort : " For the last two months the police have had their eyes on a legitimist association, which had taken the title of the Legion de St. Huber, although at its origin it appeared to occupy itself with acts of bene volence rather than politics. The information, which was obtained by the authorities, clearly proving that the association had another object than that of charity, and that its real intention was to bring about a change of Government, the Prefect of Police did not hesitate to order measures to he taken for the arrest of the members. For that purpose, the agents of the public force went to the house of the President of the Legion, M. P. de .Campgnol, whLre the, meeting was held. At the moment when the Commissary of Police and his agents entered the place of meeting, forty-five persons and the President were - - MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—We have had another dull market for goods, and the prices offered by purchasers have generally been somewhat lower than those of last week, particularly in 36 to 40 inch shirtings, 9-Bth madapoilams, 6 4th low jacconets, and even printing cloths, of all descriptions. The depres sion continues in long cloths, T cloths, and domestics. Although, however, the buyers have made still lower offers than before, they certainly have made more of them. For the most part the producers have firmly declined to give way any further; otherwise the limited business of the day would have reached a larger amount. As regards the coarser, and also the stouter sorts of cloth, some promise of improvement to come is found in the fact that, little as they have been in request for some time back, the effect of a diminished, and still diminishing proluction, is becom ing perceptible in the reduced stocks held by manu facturers. It is notorious, too, that the home-trade houses are very scantily supplied with goods. Al though we have had a very quiet day in yarns, a slightly improved tone of feeling has yet, to some extent, been observable. The indications we have of the approaching frost appear to have somewhat hastened the execution of small orders, in the way of assort ment, for Holland and the north of Germany. Warps in No. 80's water, are wanted for immediate delivery. Some business is doing in common 40's mule for India, though at rather lower rates. In fine counts, whether for home consumption, or for the eastern markets, prices are fully supported. On the other hand, 20's water twist hangs a dead weight upon the market, and is again rather lower in price. In still coarser numbers, there is no further giving way, difficult as it is to effect sales ; for the spinners have, to a large extent, turned to the higher and better-paying kinds. It is a very favourable circum stance in reference to the future that, at the close of November, there should be so inconsiderable a stock of yarns in our market as there undoubtedly is; while, throughout Germany, the manufacturers are not more than moderately supplied; and, from Elber feldt, Naples, and Leghorn, we may ere long expect to hear of deficient stocks. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have not had! much change in the flannel market to-day from that of the preceding Monday. Flannels continue in very fair demand, notwithstanding it is that time of the year when business begins to slacken, and the shopkeepers have laid in their winter stocks. The wool market continues languid, with prices nearly stationary. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDA.T.—This market has been quiet, but this is to be expected at this season of the year. What has been principally done has been in low goods. There have been purchasers for light woollens and vestings, but such stock appears to be rather scarce. Wools continue firm, and the ap proaching sales are expected to realise prices equal to the last. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There is no perceptible change since our last report in the state of the worsted trade, the demand for goods, whether figured or plain, being much the same, and without alteration in prices. Neither is there any change in yarns, the export houses still buying freely at full rates. The sales of wool are considerable, and a slight advance has been realised. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—A fair business has been done to-day and on Saturday at the Cloth Halls. Many of the manufacturers are working to order, and stocks are low. No change in prices.--441anelivtcr ,o Guardian. .--... Da. LAYAILD'S EXCAVATIONS AT NINEVEII.— Letters 'have been received from Dr. Layard, dated Mosul, October 15, at which place he arrived en the last day of September. Dr. Layard intended to recom mence his excavations, on the scene of his former labours, as soon as he should be able to assemble his Nestorian diggers from the mountains. At present the country is in a very unsettled state, and it is scarcely safe to venture out of the city gates. At the date of his let ters he had about 60 workmen exploring the ruins; and many bas-reliefs—of which the store seems inexhaustible —were discovered. But all had suffered from the Effects of fire, and they will scarcely bear removal. Of these accurate drawings will be made by Mr. Cooper, the artist attached to the expedition. Amongst the bas reliefs most recently discovered by Dr. Layard is a representation of the removal of one of the gigantic bulls, showing that they were sometimes, if not always, moved to the palace after being carved. An immense number of men draw a sledge which runs upon rollers, impetus being given to it behind by an enormous lever worked by cords. A cast will be made of this very curious subject in the event of its being found impossible to remove it. It is probable that the fine pair of colossal lions still standing at Nimrod will be moved during the present expedition. Dr. Layard paid a second visit to the periodical festival of the Yezidis, or Devil worshippers, and was admitted to all their ceremonies. On this occasion he also saw the celebrAed Melek Teou, the breeze bird, the existence of which has been a matter of speculation to travellers, and which he describes as a very curious rile. Of these and other matters, we may, it is to be hoped, expect full particular 3 in a second series of " Nineveh and its Remains."—Athenceum. _ NEGRO WAY OF FIGIITING.—WO halted next at Ingersall, where there was a good inn, and then at Wheeler's Tavern, where a black man came forward and danced, and then offered, for a few pence, to run at a door and butt it wi h his bare head, like a ram; but he was not encouraged to practise this feat.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 29. COLLYHR U. 31A.YNE. -SEDUCTION. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) THE VERDICT. • At fivi2 minutes to six o'clock the jury returned into court, and delivered a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 150/. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 29. (Before Mr. Commissioner Honnoyn.) IN RE S. P. HEMMINGS. The bankrupt was the proprietor of the Flora Tea Gardens at Camberwell. This was a meeting for the proof of debts, and his last examination. The accounts htd not bem filed in consequence of the bankrupt's ill alate of health. Mr. BRAHAM, for the bankrupt, said that an ar rangement was about being entered into by which it was expected the creditors would receive 203. in the pound. Upon which a creditor sail he trusted the estate would be wound up under the inspection of that court. He complained of the bankrupt having done hint an injustice. Mr. Cox stated that a creditor, named Smith, wished to prove for a debt of 311., contracted in 1829, shortly :after which period the bankrupt took the benefit of the Insolvent Act. His HoNovi held that under the 7th of Geo. IV., this was no bar to the creditor's proving. In the case of ex parte Robinson a similar question arose, and which had been thus decided in favour of the right to prove. The statute of limitations did not apply in a case where a debt had been entered in an insolvent's schedule. Too case was adjourned to the 31st of January. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (More Mr. , Baron ALDERSON and Mr. Justice CuEsswELL ) MURDER AT MILBANK PENITENTIARY. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. BALLAIiTINE, en the return of thejury, addressed them on the part of the prisoner, observing that he was afrail, trader the circumstances, they could come to no other conclusion than that he inflicted the fatal blows upon the deceased Hall; but what he wished to submit to their consideration was, that at the time of the lament able occurrence he was not under the control of his reason, and was irresponsible for his actions. He had inherited lunacy from his family, and though he had lucid intervals, the disease, like paralysis or apoplexy, would return in a moment without the slightest nv,arning, arid was it not likely that, worked upon' long confinement and the ti rror of being sent to the Model Prison, a fit of madness might not have burst upon him when he struck his untortunate victim? lie should show that the prisoner two sisters, both of whom were lunatics, and also an aunt, who was afflicted with the same disease, and lock ing at the who'e evidencf , , ho thought they would con clude that he was a person more to ho pitted then con victed. At the conclusion of his address the Learned Counsel called the following witnesses: — Mr. Nathan Constadt, a surgeon, iu St. Marj Axe, said he had known the family of the prisoner for many years, and had attended them professionally. Knew his sitter Amelia, who died two or three years no. He knew her from her biith; she was mad two or thrie years before her death. The disease was hysterical madness. I know that his aunt is in confinement. The whole family are of weak minds. A cousin of the pri soner wtvmpted to c)mnait suicide by throwing herself into the river. Cross-examined by Mr. Bomar; —I know nothing o the aunt hut what I have beeu told. The sister was about 25 years old when she died. She was suffering crom hysterical monomania, and had to be confined, and was sometimes so bad as to be held down in her bed. She was at one time an inmate of the workhouse. She was some times ill for months together, and was never well. She died of insanity. Mr. Blyth, resident medical officer on board the hos pital-ship the Unity, at Woolwich, said, in March, 1846, the prisoner came on board, and I attended him, and both Mr. Bossey and myself were of opinion that he was insane. He laboured under a delusion that some one intended to hurt him, and at night he used to shout out that some one was murdering him. He remained several weeks insane, but gradually recovered. He was received on other occasions at the hospital when he was suffering from dyspepsia and an ulcerated sore, which he thought might turn into an abcess. Hereditary insanity is very seldom cured. Mr. BODKIN then called the following witnesses: — Dr. Sutherland, jun., said I am a physician, confining my practice and attention to diseases of the mind. By the direction of the governor, I visited the prisoner on two occasions in Newgate, when I had conversations with him. I formed an opinion en the state of his mind. I asked him if he recollected when the murder was com mitted, and he said he did. I spoke to him about his history, and he said he was out of his mind in 1846, and that the convicts said if it had not been fur the officers in the ship he would have thrown himself overboard. This he said he did not recollect. If the prisoner was insane, or really mad in 1646 from terror, I should think it very probable that the same cause would produce tem porary insanity again. Mr. M'Murdo, surgeon of Newgate, said he bad seen no symptoms of insanity exhibited by the prisoner while in the prison. If a person in the early part of 1846 was seized with temporary insanity from terror, and was sane for two years afterwards, but was subsequently atf, cted by terror, I think insanity might again return. Mr. BODKIN then made a few observations in reply, but was interrupted by Mr. Baron ALDERSON, who said there was really no question in the case, for although there could be no doubt about the guilt of the prisoner, it was equally clear, from the evidence which had been given, that ho was a person of weak intellect who had been once mad, and who at the time of the murder might have been seized with a return of his madness by circumstances acting upon his mind, and thus become a creature irre sponsible for his actions. If the jury thought he was sane they would find him guilty, and if not they would return a verdict of insanity. The jury, without leaving the box, returned a yerdict of Not Guilty, and found that he was insane. The prisoner was then removed. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. BULLOCK.) Richard Fidler, aged 30, was indicted for stealing a cheque for the payment of 351., a bank note of the value of 51., four sovereigns, and other moneys, the property of William Watson ; and William Wheeler, aged 42, was indicted for receiving the cheque, know ing it to have been stolen, Mr. O'Brien appeared for the prosecution ' • Mr. Prendergast defended the prisoner heeler, and Mr. Parnell appeared for Fidler. Mr. O'BRIEN, in stating the case to the jury, said it was one of a most important and singular nature, and would require more than an ordinary amount of their consideration to ascertain how far the case was pressed against the prisoner Wheeler, and whether the share he had taken in the transaction was sufficient to establish the guilt of his fellow-prisoner. The Learned Counsel then went on to detail the facts, which the following witnesses proved : Mr. Joseph Collard, superintendent of the police on the Great Western Railway, stated that at a late hour on the night of the 11th of October, after ho had retired to rest, he heard a great noise as of some one falling heavily on the pavement, and on going out he found a gentleman lying close to his house, bleeding profusely from some wound in his head, hiving just fallen from his horse, which stood close by hire. He immediately obtained the assistance of the prisoner Fidler, who was at the time a constable of the P division, and on duty near the spot, and had the gentleman, who remained quite insensible, re moved to a surgeon's close by, who attended to him, and advised his removal to the hospital. While at the surgeon's witness searched him and took possession of his property, which consisted of the cheque produced, two 51. notes, a sovereign, and 103. in silver, a watch , purs e, ring, pencilcase, handkerchief, and other articles, of which a list was then made by witness; and, having placed the injured gentleman, whose name they found to be Watson, in a cab, Fidler was dispatched with him to St. George's Hespital. At about half-past four o'clock in the morning the prisoner Fidler returned, and said that he had found out where the gentleman resided, at Putney, and would come in the morning with the gentleman's groom for the property.. Between seven and eight in the mor nin g Fidler, with a man in the dress of a groom, and whose button bore the same crest as the one on the ring taken from Mr. Watson's finger, called on witness. Fidler then said he had come for the property, Inspector Wiggins having sent him for it, and he pressed very hard to have the list made by witness handed over to him. Being some what tired from having been called up during the night, and thinking that, as he was a constable, all was right, he gave it up to him, and they then went away. By Mr. PARNELL—FidIer did not ask for a copy of the list, but pressed very hard to have the list itself. By Mr. PRENDERGAST—I havelcnown Wheeler for some years, and always thought him a honest, respect able man. James Jebb, groom to Mr. Watson, said, that at an early hour on Friday, the 12th, Fidler came and told him of the accident, and appointed to meet him a few hours later at Paddington, which he did, and they then went to Mr. Collard's and took the property, which Fidler put into a handkerchief and took care of. They then went and paid fur the cab that took his master to the hospital ; then they had some gin, at the request of Fidler, and then went to take the horse from the stables, and there he had some more gin ; from there they proceeded to the White Horse, at Knightsbridge, and put the horse that witness had come to town on and the other one up to bait. Fidler gave him some more drink, and they then went on to the hospital, where he saw his master, who was so much better that he recognised him, and asked after his property. Fidler showed it to him, but said his master was not in a fit state to receive it, but ultimately gave him his ring, and put the rest of the thif.tre j e t ) , poc ket, lels.

It was no torious that a number of forged notes were put into circulation in that district, and as it was of the utmost importance to the trading community that steps should be taken to apprehend the utterers, if possible, he should remand the prisoner until Saturday. The magistrate then directed that no pains should be spared in the endeavour to apprehend the man who, it was asserted, had given the note in question to the prisoner; and as it appeared a very accurate descrip tion had been given to the police of his person, it was probable he would be taken into custody and placed at the bar on the neat examination. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A smart well-dressed boy, named Henry Bentley, who appeared to be about 14 or 15 years of age, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having robbed several taverns and coffeehouses of silver spoons and forks. It was the plan of the prisoner to go into a coffee room and inquire for a Mr. Davis, stating to the waiter that a gentleman of that name, who was in the habit of dining in the house, had appointed to meet him there. As the boy was apparently a simple well conducted person, of whom suspicion was not likely to be entertained, he generally was asked to sit down and wait for the customer, and upon the first oppor tunity which presented itself he slipped all the plate he could get hold of into his pocket, and then stole out of the house unperceived by the waiters, who never missed him till they missed the property they RAILWAY tillAlik; MARKETS.

Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, attended to prosecute, and Mr. Kenealy, the barrister, defended the prisoner. The facts are shortly these :—The prisoner formerly carried on business at Enfield, in Swsex, but suddenly went away, leaving the place empty, and owing money to the amount of from 1,0001. to 1,5001. The creditors, on finding this out, had him declared a bankrupt, and it was only a few days ago he was met in London, and given into custody. The ordinary proof of the bankruptcy was made, and the officer (Joseph Hedington, of the detective force) deposed to the prisoner confessing he was the bankrupt. A long discussion took place on the objection of Mr. Kenealy that secondary evidence could not be received as to the service of the notice on the prisoner of his being declared a bankrupt, for he had never seen or heard of it. The objection was overruled, and it was then proved that the messenger of the Bankruptcy Court went to Enfield and left the original notice with Mr. Martin, the landlord of the White Hart, at Enfield, who was the agent to the landlord of the prisoner's house. That person, having the keys, went in and placed the notice on the counter, and therefore the service was sufficient, he having run away and ren dered himself liable to imprisonment for so doing. Alderman Hoorna committed him for trial, but remanded him until Saturday next for the depositions to be made out. WORSHIP-STREET. John Lees, a thickset, determined looking fellow, was charged with feloniously breaking into the pre mises'of Messrs. Winter and Co., proprietors of the North Green Sawmills, Finsbury, and stealing a large quantity of parts of machinery, and other pro perty. The prosecutors' premises, which are surrounded with a brick wall ten feet in height, were properly secured by their foreman George Ward, who slept there, at nine o'clock on the preceding night, but at five the next morning were found to have been entered by thieves, who, after scaling the outer wall, and cut ting out ono of the panes from the counting-house window, had next proceeded to break open the desks with a chisel or crowbar. From these the money usually kept there had been prudently removed, with the exception of two base metal pieces, and the burglar, therefore, to compensate himself for his hazard, carried off a great number of valuable portions of the machinery called " bearing brasses," a large quan tity of files and other articles, and, to complete his load, had finally stolen a heavy gutta percha belt, used by the firm in driving their machinery when in mo tion. The load was too much for the thief, how ever, who was obliged to relinquish a portion of the brasses and files on some timbers in the yard, to enable him to retreat over the walls, and about two o'clock the same morning, the burglary having been committed only about half an hour before, the pri soner was stopped in Tabernacle-walk with the driving belt on his shoulders, and upon being searched by the constable who took him, his pockets were found to be loaded with the property stolen .from the prosecutors' premises, together with the base coins, a heavy life preserver, chisel, and crowbar, the end of which latter instrument exactly fitted into the marks left by the burglar in Messrs. Winter's doors and desks. Alderman, the gaoler, identified the prisoner as having been twice or thrice previously convicted of similar offences, and the prisoner, who had been employed by the prosecutors four or five years ago, and had an intimate knowledge of their premises, having reserved his defence, was fully committed to Newgate for trial. Tug CHOLERA AT EYEMOUTH.—The village of Eyemouth for 24 days past has been tt.e scene of great distress and mourning. In that short time no less than 54 persons have fallen victims to cholera and fever, being at the rate of 4 per cent., or I in 25 of the population, which numbers about 1,400. On some days the number of deaths were as many as eight. A wife and four chil dren were cut off from their husband and father in four days. Its fatality was and is most alarming. Ac quaiutanc, s have been talked with in the morning in the streets, who ere the midnight hour were called to their account. One very striking case was that of a person who attended a funeral at mid-clay, and parted with few friends at seven o'clock in the evening, and before day break was numbered among the dead. Business of every kind has been totally paralyzed since the outbreak of the epidemic. The ministers of tho different denomi nations have jointly commenced a subscription in behalf of the poor and suffering, which we are glad to say has been liberally responded to—upwards of 601. having already been received. A soup kitchen has been opened for the distribution of soup three or four times a week, and warm clothing is being given to the poor and destitute. On Wednesday there were a few cases under treatment. From Sunday to Tuesday it seemed to be on the decline' and the cases were not so virulent, but on Wednesday the number increased. Upwards of 50 are now under treat .- ment.—Ber wick Advertiser. ROYAL MINT. —On Wednesday morning an !loci' dent of a most distressing character toile place at the Royal Tower-hill, whereby a man named John Voles, aged f irty-nine years, a mechanic, received such tearful injuries, by falling into a copper of boiling vitriol, that no hopes are entertained of his recoverf. It mite an that the unfortunate man was employed in ;he d .partmerit where tho coin is washed with being liquid, consisting of vitriol and other powerful aoides and whilst walking along the plank over the copper, he by some mettles slipped, and fell into it. His screams brought several of the workmen to his aid, but the poor fellow had crawled out of the hot liquor on to the top of the copper. He was in a sad condition, his legs end other parts of his body being most shockingly s calded; He was carried to a surgeon's, but the injury be bat' sustained was such that it was deemed necessary t° place him in a cab and convey him with all speed to the accident ward of Guy's Hospital, where be was seen by Mr. Edward Cock, the senior house-surgeon, who im mediately- anli,d the best remedies; but yesterday (Thursday) veening he was suffering seve rel y , and in precarious st rte.

Last evening, as the court was about to be closed, James Stephens, William ITDonnell, Anne Plummer, and Caroline Hill, the two former notorious thieves, and the two latter well-known thieves and prostitutes, were brought up in custody of Sergant Goff, 8 L, and other officers, and placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, on the following charge: — It appeared that the prisoners had drunk deeply at a public-house in Tower-street, Waterloo-road, and having treated and made the acquaintance of a young fellow named Clark, the latter became such an acquaintance that 11I'Donnell made a confidant of him and told him that they had been in luck, that he and Stephens had " cracked a drum" (i. e., broken into a house), and had got 241. in money and a watch, were giving their women a treat. Clark, on gleaning this information, started off to the police-station and gave information to Sergeant Goff of the sort of ens towers he had fallen in with. Guff, who had been previously watching the parties. suspecting from their appearance that all was not right, on receiving this additional testimony in corroboration of his previous suspicions, took a couple of officers with him and secured the whole of the prisoners.
