GOODWOOD RACES, The most brilliant on the records of the turf, were brought to a close on Friday. The fine weather of the preceding day was - succeeded 1 - 7 a cloudy atmosphere and chilling breezes, and in the attendance of visitors there was a marked falling off. We subjoin further par ticulars of the races, sent from the course. . . Nassau Stakes.—Lord Exeter's filly went off' with the lead, followed by The Witch of Whorled Hill and Australia, the latter having the Nonsense filly by her side, to the distance, where Australia went up to the Greenmantle filly, and at the stand challenged her, but was defeated, after a smart race home, by half a length. The Nonsense filly a respectable third, and beat the Witch cleverly; Delusive beaten off. The Produce Stakes.—Prince Caradoc was firstoff, but was soon headed by Buffalo, who went on at a true pace, followed by The Prince and Mr. Rush's colt, Ralph, and Abydos, together with Eringo and Marshal Soult behind them. These positions were maintained to the turn into the straight running, where Mr. Rush's colt was beaten off, and Ralph closed with his horses. Prince Caradoc then went to Buffalo, and ran with him to the distance; here the latter fell off, and Eringo and Abydos joined the front rank. Prince Caradoc went on with the lead to the stand, where Eringo went up close to the lower rails, Ralph making his rush at the same moment on the other side, Abydos lying between him and PrincA Caradoc. A fine race ensued 'between the four, and ended in favour of Ralph, who bore upon the Prince and Abydos by a head; Eringo, by Ralph's swerving, getting the second place, and beating Caradoc by about half a length. Abydos was close to the latter at the finish, Buffalo some lengths behind this lot, Marshal Soult sixth, and Mr. Rush's last. Chesterfield. Cup.—Mus made the running, followed by a rush of horses to the distance, where Maroon Dr. Caius, and Garry Owen joined him, and they ran nearly abreast to within a few strides of home, when the Dr. headed the lot, and won by half a length. The Corsair and Perseus were well up with Garry Owen. This is the third year in succession that Lord Eglinton has won this cup. First Class of the March Stakes. —Sherbet took the lead, followed by Capote, with the Busk filly in waiting. Half wa y between the tu rn and the distance Amnia . ma de a push for the front, but failed, and at the distance fell behind in company with Sherbet. Capote went on with the running, the Busk filly to the post, where he made a rush and wor by indifferent third , and the half others • length ; Sherbet was an an beaten off. Second Class.—The favourite had it all his own way, and won by three lengths. THE ORLEANS CUP. This race was one of the slowest ever run, and, as far followed b y Hyllus was concerned, was run undei-ver)- suspicions circumstances. Aspatria went off in front Mus, Hyllus third, and Mustapha last. At the turn out Mus, passed the filly, but with so little improvement in the speed, that on reaching 'the Craven startt n i g r ; post nearly four minutes had elapsed. It contina_ d c.: the saline way round the clump,' but mended slibhtly. in rising the hill for the last turn, the positions remaining as before. Aspatria was beaten at the distance,and Buckle (to whom no blame whatever attaches), who was , onli k yllus, became second ; immediately after he endea- Aoured to obtain the lead, but had no chance against Alas, whose superior speed enabled him to maintain his :position to the end, and won cleverly by a length. The .time taken to run the distance was six minutes and thirty two seconds, being about a minute and a half more than the Cup was run in on Thursday. It is no torious that Hyllus is slow, and that, without having any pretensions to speed, the orders to the jockey should have been to force the running, not to wait, yet Buckle was instructed, and of course obeyed. We •will not adopt the terms in which the transaction was re probated, but simply observe that it excited a very strong feeling of indignation, and that one of the members or the Jockey Club, recently one of its stewards, declared that should any, horse from the same stable be named for a handicap submitted to him, he should assuredly put thirteen stone on him. We should add that Pocahontas was in the same stable as Hyllus, and on her being stripped for saddling for the Cup on Thursday, her owner was so struegly impressed with the tiler. she had not un dergone the necessary preparation, t'..at 11‘; immediately laid 100 1 . to half-a-crown against he: in the presence of her trainer, and after the race, remove-1 her to Brown's sta.:ile. Ile• has since sold her to Mr. Theobald for 5001 Challen , ve for the March 5 soya. forfeits, &c. This came off after our express left, as follows : Arrl - Biiiith's Maid,' 4 yrs, lOst 91b (Capt..

The subscribor , to the Stakes already amount to 140, and there are 40 for the Cup. RIOTS AT TOULOUSE. The riots at Toulouse still fill the public mind in France, and the columns of the Journals. The Moititeur of Wednesday declares that the legal inquest goes on with activity. The end of this inquest will be, probably, the prosecution of M. Arzac, the provisional mayor, and one of the writers in the Republican Journal, the Utili taire. As the quarrel is thus likely to be kept open, to agitate the public mind, and perhaps more than the public mind, we will give the following relation of facts, given by the municipality of Toulouse : " JULY 13.—MONSIEUR LE MINISTRE—The serious events which have taken place demand a succinct report to be made of them, in order to give you due informa tion, until a more detailed report of occurrences day by day may be prepared. " It was on Saturday, the 3d, that the ordonnance ap pointing M. Mahul to be Prefect, in the room of M. Floret, was known at Toulouse by a Ministerial letter. The cause of this dismissal, and the name of the new Prefect, determined the Municipal Council to resign, but it consented to continue its functions during a certain time, in order to give the Prefect time to form another municipality. But on the sth the Prefect wrote to the Mayor, during the sitting of the Municipal Council at nine in the evening, a letter, of which the terms, aggra vating for the responsibility of the administration, were such, that the municipality resigned altogether and im mediately. On the 6th a Provisional Municipality was formed, according to the law of 1831, and three of the councillors consented to accept the painful mission. Im mediately the Commander put his force at the disposal of the civil authorities, and measures of precau tion wore taken, there being no doubt that crowds would collect before the Prefecture with demonstrations of opposition, which hitherto had proceeded no farther than a malicious serenade. These provisions were jus tified: The crowd was immense. Yet the Prefecture was protected. There were hissings, hootings, and cries against the Prefect, but without menace or aught of serious hostility. The provisional Magistrates were on the place to direct the employment of the armed force. There was difference of opinion between it and the Prefect. The latter thought the crowd and cries to be insulting to his office, and wanted to have the crowd dispersed. The Provisional Magistracy, on the contrary, thought that the crowd should be per suaded to withdraw without violence, and it objected to any legal summons to withdraw, as indicating the immediate employment of force. At eleven o'clock the crowd dispersed, and without accident. The same day died General Cassagne, an old Municipal Councillor and ex-Colonel of the National Guard. At the demand of the Colonel of the National Guard, the Provisional Mayor summoned the National Guard to at • tend the fueeral on the evening of the next day, the 7th. At two o'clock on the 7th the Prefect wrote to the Pro visional Mayor. forbidding him to take any engagement for convoking the Guards, because he had learned that the Guards after the funeral, intended coming to him, the Prefect, with offers of support for the evening. At five o'clock the Prefect having read in the papers the convocation of the National Guards for the funeral, wrote a second letter to the Mayor, formally prohibiting the convocation of the Guards, and saying that he had been deceived. The Mayor replied imme diately to the two letters, explaining the simple reason of the convocation, and defending its legality, at the same time alleging that it was - Wrong to suspect the National Guards, as well as to address the provi sional Magistrates in terms so unwontedly impolite. The Prefect insisted on the convocation of the National Guard being instantly counter-ordered. It was too late to do this by letter, but one of the Provisional Council went round, and gave notice and explanation of the counter order. This, of course, increased the obloquy of the Pre fect and the exasperation against him. At seven in the evening of the 7th the troops were stationed in the Place of the Prefecture. The crowd was immense. Cries of ' Down with Mahul !' were frequent and loud. The soldiers advanced to remove the crowd, when stones were flung, and it became difficult for the troops to overcome the resistance. The lamps were broken, and the crowd, driven back, repaired to the Hotel of the Procnreur-General. There, too, pre cautions of defence had been made. The troops were then obliged to be employed on different points, and there ensued some isolated instances of collisions. But the mass of the citizens did not fling stones, and the great body of the troops remained tranquil. In the hinder ranks alone the soldiers received blows and returned them. The crowd dispersed at midnight, and the provisional Magistrates published a proclamation next morning. On the Bth the Prefect also published a proclamation in which he attributed the disorders to an error in the execution of the law, an error by which the disaffected profited, but added that in his hands still re posed the tranquillity of the city. This proclamation produced a bad effect. It attributed the troubles to a wrong motive, displayed the dissidence between Pre fect and Municipality, and arrogated to the former the preservation of tranquillity, which belonged by right to the Municipality. The Municipal Councillor went to the Prefecture and asked the Prefect to convoke and unite them in assembling. He explained their reasons in a letter. The Prefect replied by a verbal refusal. The discontent continued, and the crowds gathered again. A barricade was erected at the gate of St. Etienne, but was easily occupied and destroyed by the troops. It was. said that the latter entered several houses and made some arrests. This was denied by the police. On the 9th the Prefect published another proclamation, announcing that the last evening was more tranquil than former ones. It stigmatised the last resistance as a revolt against the law. The provi sional magistracy also published a proclamation. Rain prevented any crowds on that night. The press, of course, gave accounts of all these events, and mentioned the acts of violence attributed to the military, near the gate of St. Etienne. Some officers of artillery went to the office of the paper, and menaced to beat the editors. The Prefect wrote to the Mayor, with the copy of an anonymous letter, announcing that a movement was preparing' in the interior of St. Etienne, and that the National Guard were disposed to take arms. At eight o'clock on the same evening, the Prefect announced that the head-quarters of the troops had been transferred to the Prefecture. Against this the Provisional Magis trates protested. The Press made all this known on the next day, and the irritation of the citizens increased. They returned to the General, who promised that no fur ther provocation should come from the military. The 11th passed quietly. But on the 12th it was easy to per ceive that an emeute was at hand. The artisan quitted work, and from other symptoms the municipality warned the troops. The shops shut, the streets filled. Barricades were erected, and stones flung against the Prefecture. The officers of the National Guard, but not in uniform, went to the Prefect and asked him to convoke the guard. He assented, and at sun-set the National Guard mus tered in the place and occupied the posts in conjunction with the line. Groups then surrounded the prison where those arrested on the previous days were confined. Their liberty was demanded, but the detachment of the National Guard refused. Reinforcements were sent in, and for a time the people de s ist e d. B u t towards half-past eleven the post was forced, and the door of the prison assailed with a lever. The pro visional Mayor instantly repaired thither with a stong escort, just as the door was breaking open, and he prevailed on the assailants to desist. This was the last act of violence of the evening, a man having been previously killed on the Place St. Etienne. On the morning of the 13th the crowd was greater than ever, and more menacing. The whole population, male and female, was on foot. New barricades arose, and the general cry was against Mahul. His departure could alone restore tranquillity. The telegraphic line was in terrupted. M. Mahul at length declared to the general that he would withdraw. This was announced by pro clamation. M. Mahal departed. The National Guard was under arms. Its intervention has definitively re stored calm. M. Plougoulm also determined to quit Toulouse. There was not a single cry throughout either against the King or the Government."

A nimble gave chase, but 'he could not come up to her before eferunner arrived in that village, where she was oblig e d to she give in from exhaustion. The speed with which sh o e tra velled over the groun d is almost incredible. The man who pursued her is considered an excellent run ner ; but it appears prob able that had it not been for his superior strength to undergo the chase, he could scarcely have hoped to gain his object. The result of her capture was, that she was restored to her relativ es , but she persisted in refusing to return home with them, and they were compelled to leave her in clivrge of some persons in this city, though not without experiencing ' the most poignant grief. No cause can be assigned for her leaving home, excepting that she is subjeet to mental aberrations. It is fortunate that her friends so soon gained tidings of her concealment, or she might have fallen into the haunts of infamy, especially as she was totally desti tute of pecuniary resources, and an entire stranger to this part. It does not appear that she has formed any acquaintance, since she left home, beyond that of the people in whose house she had an sought asylum.— Kentish Observer. MARGATE.—Notwithstanding the very un favourable weather which has prevailed of late, we be lieve the town never was better filled at this period of the season than at present. Judging from the numbers already here, we have no doubt of an abundant increase when the weather is more settled, partienlarly, as. the fares are much reduced,- Owing- to the cOmpetitiord of the steam vessels. The arrivals on Saturday in six steam boats, were about 800, exceeding the corresponding week of last season by 200.—Dover Chronicle. THE SUN, SECOND EDITION THE FUNDS-(CLOSING PRICES.)

GLOBE.—In the present position of parties, we are not surprised that the Tory organs indulge in copious abuse of the Liberal Ministry, the succession to whose office they are anxiously expecting. Such conduct, though far from generous, is consonant enough with the ordinary tactics of party in the exultation of victory. In this general assault the foreign policy of the Cabinet (which, from the complexity of external relations, pre sents a wider front to the attacks of opponents than any other branch of administration) bears in a considerable degree the brunt of the fray. Nothing is more easy than to find instances of affairs abroad going counter to the views of politicians at home, and to supply the con necting link of British influence, flattering as the sup position even of its misdirection is to national vanity, to make out the connection of cause and effect. In these tirades of the Tory press, we find the same writers who allege one day that the councils of the Liberal go vernment have brought the country to the verge of ruin, are ready to arrogate for England,-on the next, the most absurdly extended influence in the affairs of far-distant nations. The Times and Herald have, during the last week, been signalising themselves in this warfare ; the former confines itself chiefly to the relations between France and this country, and the affairs of Turkey arising out of the interminable Eastern question, which some of our writers, and the French, have decided shall not be extinct, in spite of the declaration of the Five Powers in the recent Convention ; the latter excurses into Central Asia, and gives us a list of the misdoings of our Minis ter for Foreign Affairs, in Persia, Affghanistan, and the Indian Archipelago. In the ardour of controversy, the Times turns round in no small degree on its articles of last year, laudatory of Lord Palmerston's firm attitude in his resistance to French encroachment relative to the Eastern Question. It now selects the policy of England, and its results for especial animadversion. STANDARD.—We are told that the condemned budget is to be once more presented ; and this is the apology for the Ministers, convicted of a violation of the spirit of the Constitution, and duly - sentenced to dis missal, presuming to meet the new Parliament. It is unnecessary to repeat what we have more than once before said of the total insufficiency of such an excuse ; it is as if a culprit, after a verdict of guilty had passed against him, and the judg ment had been formally recorded, should insist upon an opportunity of repeating his offence in order to have occasion of arguing anew the legality of his previous conviction. The advancement of such a demand is an insult and a crime—not to be reasoned with, but to be resented and punished. However, we are gravely assured that the demand will be advanced, and that, by a rather violent strain of the prerogative, the opportunity for advancing it is to be secured. Row Parliament will deal with such an insult and such a crime must depend upon the greater or less amount of courage and patriotism possessed by the majority. As we have already said, it is a case for impeachment, but we fear that the day for impeachments and for the punishment of the greatest criminals has gone by. Justice now reserves all her ter -1 rors for poor petty larceny knaves, or at the highest for weak-minded Chartists. O'Connell is unhanged but O'Connor occupies a felon's cell. The condemned budget will then be reproduced by its convicted authors, probably without incurring any more serious punishment for the of fenders than a second failure—a punishment, if it is to be called one, amply salved beforehand by three months of sa lary and patronage fraudulently obtained. As we are to I have this budget again, it may be well for the people to inform themselves of its grounds and merits ; with this view we recommend to particular attentive—what ? a Conservative pamphlet or a Conservative essay? Nothing of the kind—we recommend to all who would appreciate the total futility of the reasons offered for the notable scheme, and the transparent falsehood of Lord John Russell's pretence that it was advisedly brought forward by the " deficits"—to all such we recommend the apology for the budget in the last number of the Edixburgh Review. The name of the review gives war rant that a curious defence is intended ; gives warrant, too, that the case of the Ministers does not suffer by de fect of zeal or talent in its advocates. Still, we say, if any one wants to be thoroughly impressed with the atro cious injustice of the Ministerial propositions, and with the profligate contempt of truth manifested by Ministers in pretending that the propositions were not the last re source of despair, let him read the sixty pages of apology in the review. RINGWOOD.—An inquest was held on Wed nesday last by Charles Castleman, Esq., at Bistern, on view of the body of Mary Johnson, a young married female, residing in this town, the circumstances at tending whose death have created a considerable sen sation here : the investigation before an intelligent and respectable jury occupied nine hours. From the evi dence adduced, it appears that the deceased, accompa nied by her brother, a little boy ten years of age, and a young woman named Tilley, were returning from Avon to Ringwood, on Monday afternoon, when two waggons or trucks loaded with stone passed them ; one of the carters asked them to ride, which they at first refused, 'but afterwards got up on the hinder waggon, when the man who was driving called out to his companion driving the foremost team to come back, telling him that he had got a young woman for him. This man accordingly left his teem, came back, and seated him self on the shafts of the waggon on which the females were riding ; he then began taking improper liberties with the deceased, who remonstrated with him and told him she was a married woman • notwithstanding which, he continued his di sgus ti n g behaviour, and she requested them to stop the horses, as she wished to get down, but this they refused to do. She again en treated them, but they persisted in driving on, when she declared she would jump off. The man then got off the shafts, and the deceased (in order it is sup posed to avoid a repetition of insult) immediately sprang from the waggon and fell underneath the wheels. which, with their ponderous weight of four tons, passed over her body, crushing and lacerating it in a most horrible manner. A labouring man in an adjoining field, who witnessed the catastrophe,. lifted her from the ground ; and the only words she uttered were, "Oh dear, I am crushed to pieces." She . died in about two - hours afterwards. The Jury, after some deliberation, returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against James Ingram and Charles Crauter, the two waggoners. It will scarcely be credited that such was the brutal indifference of these men, that instead of stopping their horses when the accident occurred, and rendering assistance to the unfortunate deceased, they proceeded on their journey ; and the companions of the deceased were obliged to jump off the waggon as it was going along.—Hampshire Independent. STATE OF TRADE.—The market has been gloomy during the whole week. The extensive failures in Paisley, and the reported danger of similar occur rences in Glasgow, have acted prejudicially upon that portion of business transacted with Scotch connexions. The deranged state of monetary affairs on the Continent has caused the twist buyers to be very careful in their operations, and to confine their purchases to their most . urgent wants, or to those offers of yarns which might be caused by immediate want of money on the part of the spinner; inner • which, in consequence, might be sold at a sacrificing price. Most of the mills which went on to full time a few weeks ago, have it in contemplation to resort again to short time. The stock of goods and yarns is large, but not so extensive as might be imagined from the lowness of price. The majority of the spinners and manufacturers, from the long period during which they have worked to a loss, and the diminishing accom modation of the banks, cannot hold. The result is, that goods are sold as they come round, in many cases at any price. We understand that some of the larger houses show a disposition to stock themselves, provided goods can be obtained at extremely low rates, in anticipation of a slight stir in the market, by which prices will be raised. In fact, both goods and yarns, in needy quarters espe cially,'are so remarkably low, as to afford a fair guaran tee of profit to the speculator by holding a few weeks or months.—Manchester Times. FATAL ACCIDENT;--A melancholy accident happened at the West Half-way House on the Dundee Load last Thursday. A man, named James Serimgeour, lately residing at the Horse Cross here; awl who entered into poSSession of the 'above-mentioned premises at last Whitsunday, got upon the top of a laden cart at his own door for the purpose of tightening a rope.

ONDON, MONDAY, AEG US's' 2, 1841. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A German jewel commission agent, named Schmal calder, who was some time ago charged with having robbed Mr. Lyon Same:ls, an extensive diamond-mer chant, of diamonds of considerable value, was brought up for final examination. He hid been remanded from time to time since the 19th of June, at his own request, in order that he might have opportunities of settling the business, either by restoring the diamonds to the owner, or making restitution in some other way. It will be recollected that the prisoner, with whom the prosecutor bad some slight dealings, underwent a rigorous examination by Sir PETER LAURIE, who sat when he was first brought up in custody, and that it was stated upon that occasion by the prosecutor that the prisoner called upon him, and said he wanted some diamonds to take to Messrs. Knock and William's of Frith-street, Soho, from whom he had an order for a supply ; that the prosecutor gave the prisoner an order upon Messrs. Blogg and Aston, diamond-brokers, for the deli,rery of several diamonds which they had in their possession, his property ; that the pr:soner, instead of returning, sent a letter to the prosecutor by a boy (who upon deli vering it ran away), stating that the diamonds were lost, and that the prisoner was apprehended at a late hour in the morning, when no doubt he was about to leave Lon don entirely. The LORD MAYOR asked whether the accusation was to go on ? Mr. Norton, the attorney for the prosecu tion, said that the case must proceed, as the prisoner, who had been remanded from time to time at his own de sire, had made no arrangement. Mr. Samuels, having repeated his evidence, stated, upon cross-examination, that he never entrusted the pri soner with goods otherwise than as a commission agent, and would not have given him credit. Mr. George Blogg, of Bucklersbury, diamond-broker, proved having delivered a parcel of diamonds to the pri soner. who had with him a paper box, which did not appear to be broken, Mr. Mann, clerk to Messrs. Knock, jewellers, stated he never saw the prisoner before, and had received no directions from his employers about the diamonds. The prisoner's solicitor admitted that his client did not know the firm. When the prisoner was taken into charge, a letter was found in his possession, the copy of that which the pri soner had sent by the boy to the prosecutor, as to the loss of the diamonds, and concluded with imploring the prosecutor's compassion, and was subscribed his " unfor tunate but honest servant," at which there was loud laughter. Tne LORD MAYOR thought there was no occasion for further comment. He should send the case to a Jury. The Solicitor begged that bail might be admitted, as the charge only amounted to a misdemeanour. Mr. Norton—lt amounts to constructive felony, but, to please you, I will indict both for felony and misde= meanour, so that we shall have him one way or the other. The LORD MAYOR refused bail, and the prisoner was committed for trial. quantity of which made strong men drunk and insane, and impaired their constitutions. Mr. Valentine said he could confirm the statement of the Magistrate as far as his knowledge went, that power ful men, who were accustomed to drink considerable quantities of good beer and spirits without being incon venienced by them, often had their strength prostrated in a few minutes by the deleterious mixtures sold at some of the low public-houses and gin-shops. He would com municate the sentiments of his Worship to the Police Commissioners immediately. Mr. BALLANTINE—And keep your eye on those houses where they sell bad liquors. BOW-STREET. Frederick Hull was summoned to show cause why he refused to pay the sum of 91. 12s. Bd., being the balance of 101. obtained from the Joint Stock Loan Society in 1839. J. Popplewell, Secretary to the society, proved the defendant's signature to a promissory note of payment, as well as those of his two sureties, one of whom has since hung himself, and the other absconded. An attorney's clerk attended for the defendant, and said his (defendant's) reason for refusing payment was, that when he obtained the loan he was a minor, and consequently any contract entered into by him could not hold good. Mr. TWYFORD said, that if he could prove his minority it would be a good ground for defence. A certificate of the defendant's baptism at Hadfield Church was then put in, .but Mr. Twyford refused to take it in evidence, as, he said, the child might have been five or six years old when baptised, for aught he knew. He should therefore require the attendance of some person who was present at the birth. The attorney's clerk said that the only person now alive who was present on that occasion was defendant's half sister, who was only put to bed yesterday. If, how ever, the case could be postponed for a month, she could come forward. The Secretary stated that he was afraid this was only an excuse to gain time for the defendant to get out of the way, as he, had obtained money from at least twenty different Societies, and endeavoured to evade payment under a similar plea, and by reason of the disappearance of one surety, and the death of the other, none of them could get their money. Mr. TWYFORD eventually ordered the case to stand adjourned until Wednesday, the Ist of September. Another case against the defendant, of the same cha racter, was also postponed. HATTON-GARDEN. Mnrgaret Burton, a middle-aged respectable-looking female, and Mary Ann, her daughter, a very fine girl 18 or 19, were charged by Mr. George Corbett, of No. 1, Hatton-garden, with creating a disturbance and annoying him in his house. It appeared from the evidence of the elder female, that having discovered her daughter was pregnant, she went with her to the house of the de fendant, in whose family she had lived for some time, and who had effected her ruin. He admitted he was the cause of the pregnancy, and offered 5/. towards the ex penses of the lying-in, and to take the babe soon after it was born. She waited on him a second time, when he behaved most brutally, and gave them in charge. The complainant now denied having had intimacy with the daughter, and said there was no proof of his offering 51. Mr. Comm (to the complainant)—l am inclined to to think that an action might be maintained against you for false imprisonment, and I am further inclined to be lieve you have seduced the girl, and are the father of the child she is pregnant with. I also believe you offered the 51., since you do not deny it, but say she has no wit ness to prove it. Such an answer I consider an evidence of guilt ; it is unfortunate the law is so strict that she must have corroborative proof of your being the father. If you are so, you are morally, if not legally, bound to take care of it—no man would shrink from such a re sponsibility. The defendants are discharged. WORSHIP• STREET. Sarah Le Sage was charged with maliciously breaking an enormous quantity of window-glass at the house of her master and his neighbours. She had been for some time in the service of Mr. Madding, a tradesman resid ing in Penley - -street, Bethnal-green, who had suffered by the breakage of his windows during the last six weeks, as had also several_ persons his immediate neigh. bours, by stones and pieces of brick thrown through the glasi. Repeated complaints were made to the police, but the perpetrator remained undiscovered, though 30 or 40 people were on the look-out. While they were all there the window-breaking still increased ; one person had no less than thirty squares broken, another twenty, besides other sufferers. The prisoner had shown great anxiety to discover the offender, and had passed unnoticed. At length it was observed that stones were thrown through the glass from the inside of a room in Mr. Madding's house, and a person named Miller, who had gone into the house with a view to the discovery, was himself sus pected, and such an outcry raised against him that he was afraid to leave the place. He, however, from the prisoner's demeanour, suspected her ; and she being searched, a number of pieces of brick and stone were found in her pockets. She said she had picked th2m up when thrown in through the window, but at last con fessed her guilt. Upon being questioned by Mr. Broughton, she said she had no motive, and could not tell why she had done it. She had no complaint to make of her master and mis tress, who gave her a good character as to her former conduct. The MAGISTRATE put a variety of questions, from the replies to which it appeared that the girl had never re ceived any religious or moral instruction, but was in a state of the. darkest ignorance. He committed her for two months to the House of Correction, where he told her she should be visited by the chaplain, and be taught the difference between right and wrong. THAMES-OFFICE. ADULTERATION OF BEER AND Li+Vons.—On Satur day, after the disposal of the night charges, Mr. Ballan tine, the presiding Magistrate, called the attinitiOn of Mr. Valentine, the inspector of the 11 division, to a sub ject of great importance—the gross adulteration of beer, ale, and liquors by publicans, to the detriment, the worthy Magistrate said, of the health and morals of the people. He wished that the observations he *At AMA to Matte should go forth to the public, and be reported to the Po lice Commissioners. He sat at that Court day after day, and had done so for upwards of 20 years and iiihnarroils cases had been under his notice where persons went into public houses sober, and after drinking one glass of spi rits, beer, or ale, became insensibly drank, not *OM the quantity, but the quality, of the beverage served to them. It was well known that a person who was skilful in compounding noxious ingredients: for the adultera tion of ale, beer, and spirits, was considered hi the trade as best qualified for the duties of eellarman and barman, and indeed there was little secret made about the matter. There were a few, and but few, houses where the getitline article was sold as it was received by the publican from the brewer or distiller. That morning he had asked a man. found by the police in the street in a state of insensibi lity, how he came to get intoxicated, and he said, with an air of truth, that he had only taken one glass of spirits and became stupid directly, losing all conscious ness. The same answer had been given to his queries on repeated occasions ; and from inquiries he had made, and the circumstances of particular cases where strong men had suffered by a small quantity of drugged and adulterated gin or beer, which disordered the stomach and produced nausea, and in many instances produced great suffering to the parties for several days afterwards, he was satisfied that the system must be carried to a most alarming extent. Seamen and others were often inveigled into brothels, and liquor or ale was sent for, adulterated with noxious drugs for the purpose of stupi fying them, and while in that state they were robbed and turned out penniless. He expressed himself thus openly that the public might be aware of a great evil, and that the CommisSioners of Police might be enabled to pro tect the people against the consumption of spurious liquors, and have the stuff analysed," and proceed against the parties vending it. It was against the tenour of a p u bli can ' s li cence to adulterate hi s beer and li quors, an d if a c ase were ma d e out before him he would convict in heavy pe nalties. There were houses kept open in that 'district and iii other parts of - the metropolis - during the night, and the b eer , ale, and spirits disposed of to night walkers out at unseasonable hours, were not only adul terated and of a most nauseous description, but a larger price was demanded for these than the good beer and liquors sold during the day. He was speaking before persons who must kn o w th e s e thi ngs swell as - himself. Ile would do all the law enabled him to do, but it was the bounden duty of the police, on the part of the pub lic, to look after those person who sold liquors, a small CORONERS' INQUESTS._ On Saturday evening an inquest was held in the Board-room of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, before Mr. Payne, on the body of a boy, aged 10 years, named John William Wicks, who died in the institution from a severe injury he received in falling from a swing at the residence of his parents. Much interest was excited in consequence of the discovery of a system of unheard:of cruelty practised towards the child by the sister of the ward in which he was placed, and which, it was alleged, was in some measure sanctioned by the house-surgeon, who attended the boy. - Mr. Bostock, the house-surgeon, said the deceased had received a compound fracture of the arm and a disloca tion of the elbow joint. He died from the injuries. The mother of the deceased here stated that whilst her child was in the hospital he had been treated in the most brutal manner during his sufferings from the inju ries he had received ; he had been strapped down to the bedstead ; he had been carried more than once to the water-closet in the ward by the nurse and sister, and threatened to be thrown down the place if he did not be have himself ; he was also flogged with a birch rod se veral times, and the sister of the ward had carried her brutality so far as to place a large plaister over his mouth to prevent his crying ; that he had called out, " Oh, you brute, I'll tell my mother." He had repeatedly cried " Murder!" but the treatment was repeated more than once immediately before the death of the child. The plaister used was larger than a man's hand, and of a most adhesive quality. Much astonishment and indig nation was expressed at the statement of the mother of the shameful treatment used. Rebecca Spiggott, nurse in the accident ward, was then examined. She stated that the child had been very violent and refractory. She acknowledged that the sister had resorted to the means stated for the purpose of quieting the child, and said it was not uncommon to threaten and also to punish refractory children to pre vent their disturbing the other inmates of the ward. Mr. Bostock was re-called, when he denied in any way sanctioning the conduct used towards the child, and said he did not think the treatment hastened his death ; but it was most injudicious, tending to irritate the symptoms. Sophia Cawston, the sister, was then brought into Court by the beadle ; but was not sworn, as she was placed in so critical a position. She admitted having laid the plaister on the child's mouth, and also having flogged him with her hand, but said she had only used the birch over the bed-clothes, and that she was com pelled to adopt these methods owing to his being so re fractory. The CORONER—This investigation must necessarily lead to one by the Governors of the Institution to in quire into the conduct of the parties who have acted so shamefully. The nurse, in answer to further questions, said that the house-surgeon had suggested the mode of frightening the children by the application of threats and the birch. The CORONER, in summing up, expressed his regret that such proceedings should go forth to the public, who considered the Institution of the highest possible im portance. Instead of these harsh measures nothing but kindness and sympathy should have been exercised. He hoped no ether instance of such a kind would ever occur. The Jury, after consulting about ten minutes, re turned a verdict of " Accidental death," accompanied by a severe censure upon Sophia Cawston, whose conduct, ' they hoped, would be properly investigated by the Go vernors of the Institution. DEATH OF DR. KING, CHIEF EXAMINER OF THE APOTHECARIES' COMPANY.-At a late hour on Friday evening, an inquest was held before Mr. Payne, at the Cathedral Coffee-House, St. Paul's Church-yard, on the body of Dr. Richard King, aged 56, who died suddenly during the previous night. Mr. John Mountain, proprietor of the hotel, stated that for the last three or four years the deceased, who resided at Brighton, took up his abode at his house when he came to town, which was generally about once a fort night. .He arrived at four o'clock on Thursday, and after taking some refreshments, went out, saying that he would take his usual supper, stewed cheese and a pint bottle of ale, on his return in the evening. He returned at about eleven o'clock, had his supper, and went to bed. Mary Ann Archer, the chambermaid, deposed that at night the deceased appeared to be in good health and spirits ; that at ten o'clock on that morning, as he had not risen, his usual hour being half-past eight, she knocked at his door, and receiving no answer, she went in, when she saw him lying dead upon the bed. She raised an alarm, and Dr. Randall, of Finsbury-square, and Mr. Hunter, of Tower-street, personal friends of the deceased, were sent for. Both quickly arrived, and Dr. Randall, she believed, offered an opinion that he had died of some disease of the heart. No phial or suspici ous matter was found in the room, and the contents of his carpet bag, which had been examined by Captain King, of Mortlake, brother of the deceased, consisted only of the usual articles. It was the custom of the de ceased to fasten his door, but on this occasion he had nut done so. _ _ _ The Jury desired to have the evidence of Dr. Randall or Mr. Hunter, and both gentlemen were sent for, but it was ascertained that they, with the other examiners of Apothecaries' Hall, were dining at Blackwall, and in preference to an adjournment it was determined to return a verdict of "Found Dead." ALARMING CONDITION OF THE COUNTRY. We have been told that Lord Francis Egerton is about to raise a yeomanry corps from amongst his numerous tenants. Should this be true, and we have no reason to doubt the truth of our interment, it will show that his Lordship is resolved to be prepared against any emeute in his own neighbourhood. The example will probably be followed by all the Tory aristocracy, and thus a new military force will be created, auxiliary to the Tory Go vernMent, and for the suppression of any disturbances that may arise from the continuance of the corn mo nopoly. There is too much reason for alarm. We have been close observers of the state of the manufacturing dis tricts for the last quarter of a century, and we venture to affirm that there never was, during all that period, so intense and wide-spread distress as that which is now ex perienced. We have had sudden depressions, which oc casioned great suffering, but they were of comparatively Short endurance but there has been a gradual progress downwards for the last two or three years, till the profits of business and the reward of labour have fallen below what we ever remember them to have been, and this, too, without any reasonable prospect of amendment. The census shows that fully Oile , tentli of the houses in the manufacturing towns of Lancashire ere Untenanted ; and we have good grounds for belief that the omit= piers of another tenth are totally unable to pay rent. This shows an enormous diminution of the means of subsistence, even with those who are partially employed; and we know that a great number of persons are without employment at all. One half of the hand-loom weavers in :Manchester are without work ; and a great proportion of them are Irish, who have no claim to parochial as sistance. We saw four of these men yesterday—men of good character, as their late employer testified — endeavouring to raise amongst the benevolent a few shillings to save their families from starvation, and their story was heart-rending. One of them said 1 "What are we to do ? We cannot get work ; we are not en• titled to parish relief ; we have no other choice but to lie down and die, or put out our hand and steal." No country can be tranquil while this is the condition of a great portion of the people. It cannot be expected that men will peaceably lay themselves down to die. We cannot expect that, on the verge of starvation, they will forget that they have been thus reduced by bad laws,' that they will exercise forbearing thoughts towards the men who support those laws. There is, in truth, much cause for tear. The elements of combustion are laid. A spark may ignite the whole in a moment. Take, for ex ample, Paisley, where the manufacturers, with two or three exceptions ; are involved in one common ruin. There is the whole populaCon of a large town unemployed. Let thee° be but an extensive bank failure in Lancashire, and we should have whole towns here in the same de plorable quitclaim And all this without the hope of amendment Will the raising of bands of yeomanry be instrumental in preVetithig ail etplasitin On the contrary, it would add to the existing, causes of discontent.

OPERATIONS AGAINST THE WRECK OF THE ROYAL GEORGE.—The explosion of 6501b5. of powder, an nounced in our last number, took place on Wednesday, the 28th instant, at the hour stated, 1 P.M., in spite of a strong gale of wind from the westward, which, as the tide ran in the same direction at the time, rendered it im possible forLietst. Hutchinson to go from No. 5 1, the place from whence the charge was let down, to No. 4, in which the voltaic battery was placed, the latter being to wind ward ; so that he was obliged to forego his intention of firing it himself, and the circuit was completed by Ser jeant-Major Jones. Being fired about the time of low water, this charge produced a similar effect in miniature to those of the great explosions of last year, as it threw up a column of clear water, beautifully sparkling in the sun, to the height of 12 feet, followed by a small eruption of water blackened by mud from the bottom. Not withstanding the violence of the gale, several yachts and small sailing vessels came out to witness this explosion, which disengaged a piece of mast from the mud, about four or five feet long, that floated to the surface and drifted to the eastward with the wind and tide. A boat ordered to secure it by Colonel Pasley, failed in the attempt, as the tow-line broke twice and the men were obliged to abandon it, in order to save their passage to the Success httni f which was to leeward of them ; for at that time no boat cook' stem the united action of the wind and tide. Next day, though it still blew a gale and the lumps pitched violently, five divers were em ployed as usual, and a good cargo of wreck has been stowed away in the hold of the Drake sailing lighter. Thus the skill acquired by experience, has enabled the executive officer and the men employed to work to ad vantage in weather which at first would have put an en tire stop to such operations.

ITALIAN REVENGE; A shocking occurrence took phwe on Tue6.lav worn ing week, at the house of Luigi Gincchio, an Italian, rca siding in Circus-street, in this town• it appears _ there lodged with Ginochio two other Italians, Geronit Capello and Antoni Tuscano, street organists, who ski* together in the same bed. 'These two had recently at*. dispute together about some money, but we have no been able to learn the particulars. On the night of Mon day, the 12th inst.. Tuscan() we nt to bed about eleven o'clock. He felt his bed - fellow lie down beside him to ns. some time after, and he then fell asleep. It wolild, n r pear that about three, 0.: between that a' o'clock, Geronimo Capello arose , procured a the y jc e lLsa tity of boiling water, and thre w it over poor and breast of his sleeping countryman. The low was dreadfully scalded. He was carried t o the TO: firmary, where but faint hopes were entertained n of bl_s . recovery. On Saturday week he was considered i sit imminent danger that it was deeme d necessary to si te his deposition, as that of a man sen sible that he wes !! the extremity of danger. His deposition, chatwhi n given through the medium of Mr. _Dowling, as interpreter, was delivered in nearly the followinp terms :—" I lodged at the house of Luigi Ginonhio, PI Circus .street. Geronimo Capello lodged in the `l i m e ' house, - and slept in the same bed with me. On Moun i T night, the 12th instant, I went to bed at eleven o' c- Capello was at that time in the room below. I t it asleep, and awoke when Capello came to bed. V II ,. him but I did not see him. fell asleep a gain. CuP e wh e: must have got up about three o'clock., The first th in g I felt was hot water thrown over me. I started uP followed the man who threw it down stairs- He was in - 1 his shirt. I followed him down to the parlour, wb'[. felt as if I was dying, and could go no further. a • was pursuing him I saw him throw away a knife of r dagger. As I went I said, ' What for have you uul dered me this way for nothing ?' He made u°,., re „ P gr. •We had a dispute lately about some money.”--"r-,00 was brought up again on Saturday last. T he report from was dap () the Infirmary was, that Tuscan was still in ger. The prisoner was further remand ed. fro se3 i ll died on Monday in the Infirmary in consequence of tile d juries he had received. An inquest was held the stol e before P. F. Curry, Esq. Several witnesses were ,e inked, but their testimony did not throw much a ddio r light on the affair. Mr. Thomas Brandreth, 110050 ttt eon of the Infirmary, said the deceased wa s broob Ata there on the 13th instant. He, was severely scalded ortl, 5 face, ,neck, breast, arms, abdomen, and thighs. Evert:lee, tend eon was paid to him. He, died yesterday about di' 01 o'clock. I was present; the deposition of the deenet was taken. Deceased was then under the impressiePho he was dying. Joseph Liardi said lam a teacher of 1 . 0 . guages, in Scarletpstreet, Mansfield-street. I was saisar ed with the deceased. I saw hi m several times at the '''s:4;ll mary. He told me had been sc alded alive all over ' be tl porridge by Capello. He said that he was„ with his face towards the wall, when Cape e ye 4 , - •ed) and stripped off the blankets, on which he (de ce- i v e asked him what he was going to do; Capello ag e d a fr bucket of hot porridge over him ; that he itunr € l . o o and ran after him, and saw a dagger in his (CeP,eAjed hand. About a fortnight before deceased was sc a 7 s ,. of met him in Bedford-street ; and he then,-ill c ° ' l l- Cr conversation, said that he was ruined on account 0 to , pello declining to fulfil a barga in made between livhels relative to a partnership in musical instruments. ,4as the deceased made this statement to me, .),'" e sa id under the impression that he was dying He 0 01 1 he had reconciled himself to death, and knew HLee pri not recover.
