The minute of'the Governor of the'so.l of May proved the attempt of the litija'tO intrigue ',with the Govermnent of Goa. " Oh, - hilt," said the flon.Gentlernan, " that had beri "discovered seven - years ago: Colonel Briggs had, spoken of , Mr. GEORGE bad. not referred to Colonel Briggs. .r , Mr. WEEDING—Then the Hon. Gentleman referred to some other of the residents at the Raja's Court on the subject. Sir 'Mines Carnac's remarks on the - cor respondence with Goa, set that question at rest; and they had the uniform consent of witnesses, fifty-one in mem ber, with regard to the attempt to correspond with the Governor of Goa. It might be a silly attempt, but it had been proved, and had been adverted to by Colonel Lowrey, to whom he had meant to allude when he men tioned the mune of Colonel Briggs. With regard to the second charge of carrying on a correspondence with the ex-Raja of Nagpoor, Sir Robert Grant's minute of the 24th May proved that charge to demonstration, It s stood upon record that the ex - Raja had attempted to corrupt the fidelity of the native troops. Now, why should he (Mr. Weeding) take the opinion of the Hon. mover of the present question, in preference to the con viction of the lion. Court of Directors, of Lord Auck land, of Mr. Robertson of Mr. IVilberforce Bird, of Col. Morrison, of Sird; Canine, of Sir R.G rant, of the members of the Bombay Government, and against the absolutely recorded signatureef Col. Lodwick 3 fur Col. Lodwick had, by his signature' to the Report of the Commission ers, testified Ins belief in the guilt of the-Raja, and be cause now, three years afterwards, he came for yard and said that that was ono act of his life which he was sorry ho had committed, were they to say they would not take his evidence . ? He lamented to see the pamphlet w hi c h that officer bad recently published. The publication of those papers was a breach of his duty.—(llear, hear.) All his Sattara correspondence. was confidential, and he had no right to publish it.-a-(Hear, hear.) If he had been wronged, thlit . Conat was the tribunal to.which he should have appealed.-(hear, hear.) Had he done so he would have beeti heard impartially. He had no right to commit his employers and himself by the publication of that correspondenee. It was- . the first instance of the sort, and he hoped it would be the last on record. But they were not content :with accusing the authorities of injustice in deposing the ex-Raja, but they endeavoured to make it appear,' that the Government had ap pointed- as his successor a man not fit to govern. Let theta read what Colonel Ovans said on that subject (Hear, hear)—aud lie Considered him as good an au thority ns any peon in that Court.—(Hear, hear.) The press had been at weak. • The Bombay Gazette had en deavoured-to keep alive theseproceedings,and large sums of money bad been expended by the ex-Raja to give ef fect to these endeaaosirs. As a. proof of this he would refer to page 45 of the papers. section i : " In a letter dated the 23dultimo, the Resident called our attention to- a gross libel published in • the Bombay Gazette of the 20th ultimo, against the present Raja of &Ultra,' to the effect that, on the day of his installation, he was so drunk as to require being • carried on a board to his Palace by four men. We solicit the attention of your Hon. Committee to this communication, and to the remarks Of Lieut.-Col. Ovens on this calumnious state ment, for which there is not the slightest foundation." Here was a proof of the length to which persons would g o who had a bad cause to sustain. He was sorry that a gentleman who usually took their eccle siastical affairs under his cognizance was not present, to express his opinion as to the conduct of the Raja in the particular to which.he was about to allude. He (Mr. Weeding) had been the coadjutor of that gentleman in his endeavours to induce that Courts to put an end to the practice of suttee. They had been all anxious for it, and at length it had been accomplished, and the Board had come to the conclusion that it would tend to sustain the morality of the British subjects—lndia was not likely to shake their allegiance. : For testimony to the humane character of the present Raja, he would refer to page 45, section 12, of the printed papers : • • The abolition of suttee within the limits of the Sat tarn Sisste, in which heretofore it has been so painfully prevalent, will be hailed with satisfaction by your Hon. Committee and by every friend of humanity. We en tertain no doubt that the Raja resolved on this measure, from the knowledge which he possesses of the abhorrence with which the inhuman rite of suttee is held by the British Government but it will be- as satisfactory to your Honourable Committee as it has been to us, to be Informed that the act was entirely spontaneous on the Raja's part, and consequently reflects the greater credit on him. On this subject the Resident reports as fol lows justice to the Raja, I deem it incumbent on trie - to state, that the abolition of the rite of suttee was entirely voluntary on the part of his Highness. After stating to me personally, that he was aware of the light in which this rite was viewed by the British Govern ment, and the fruitless attempts hitherto made to sup press it here, he declared it to be his intention to follow ate example of the British. Government in suppressing it, and this declaration he has now fulfilled by public proclamation. After witnessing the harrowing scenes which I have done here, and seeing with my own eyes these miserable victims led down to Mahowlee to be sacrificed, and passing the gates of the British Resi dency without the power of interfering, I may, I trust, be permitted to express my.heartfelt gratification at this eamplete abolition of this horrible rite throughout the whole of this country; " Well, if that were the act of a drunkard, he should have no objection to see more of the native Princes of India, indulging in a few glasses of wine. Instead of the guilty wretch he had been.represented to be here, he was exhibiting the milk of human kindness itself. Now without any disparagement to other persons, he considered the testimony of Colonel Ovans on this point to be con elusive, and as one example was worth more than all the speeches in the World, he considered that the present lqa of Sattara had done more to abolish the suttee, than the most eloquent orator 'that had ever addressed that r,ourt, and he for one 'honoured Appa Sahib for what he bad done. He would take that opportunity of alluding to those who had called him drunkard. He believed young men might be found in society who might sometimes have exceeded the bounds of temperance. but they were not therefore called drunkards. On the whole, therefore, he considered that the offence of the ex-Raja of Sattara amounted to sedition in the first instance, and to treason in the next, and that Sir J.Carnae h ad acted wisely in removing him from his government, as an example to all who might attempt to revolutionize the country. Let them consider the great misery which must result from any attempts of that nature : how of necessity it must put an end to those merciful institutions which would ultimately raise India to a state of European civilization, and to the introduction of that religion which would put an end to idolatry. Fur these reasons he fully concurred in all the‘ proceedings which had led to the deposition of the Raja oe Sattatra. Mr. S .l.Lo3tors suggested the expediency of adjourn ing the debate, but was met with loud cries of " No." General LODWICH. would not have addressed the Court on the subject when the qUestion had been so ably treated by others, had he not. felt it was in his power to offer them some information, more particularly on one portion of the sub s ect. When ho came to, this country he came with a g-rlevance. Ile. lied written a memorial to the Court on the subject .before lie left India, and lie had riven that memorial to Sir Robert Grant before he. sailed, in order that he might, detain him in India if lie thought proper.—(hoar, hear.) On, his voyage home he had written another memoilal on the sehject. Th ose rae ,„ morials had been presented to the Chairman and the Deputy-Chairman, but they had never taken notice of them until lung afterwards, and he had been treated with contempt by all. He had called on the Chairman and Deputy-Chairman, anti had told them that he could do pose to important circumstances in refe ,i r l e o D nee ep oLt y h - e c C hair oih: se i s sion, lie tim e t o tell the troth. i Dian had treated hi m occasionally with civility, an d oc cos-ion:Illy not even with common courtesy.

He would appeal to those present if it had not been the custom for the Residents to treat the Raja with the greatest respect. But this esistona was now deviated from, and why ? Because the lioja was considered as already guilty.. With respect to this Commission they met and called officers before them who deposed to facts which seemed to be impos sible. There were numerous discrepancies in their tes tiniony, and he (General Lodwick) 'insisted on their being 'submitted to cross-examination:" After some difficulty he obtained permission that - they should be cress-examined on the last day, and these were the facts attending the cross-examination. The senior Soobadar was brought in and stood before them. fie (Genera? Lodwick) put a question to him just as he ishould have put before a. Court-martial. s He had sat on many Courts-martial, and kneW what were proper gime tions to be put, as Well as his colleagues. Both of them, however, started up and declared that he was bullying "the evidence. The Soobadar looked confused, and his countenance sank, but both of the other memboes of the Commission started up and said there should be no cross. examination. Another native officer during his exami nation sat in his chair with all the appearance of a dead /pan. It came out that he had kept a journal. This Saurnal he suggested:should be seized, and it was so, and brought to the Court, and the discrepancies were very great between that journal and the evidence he had given.. The cross-examination of that witness also was not allowed.

The difficulty in which they whether he should resiem or not.

He had re- be lost, the amendment suggested by the Hon.

The Court then adjourned to twelve o'clock to-morrow During that nine months he had thought that the Go- (this day). vernment had become ashamed of their proceedings. At last a report came up that he was to be removed. He was astonished - at that report, and when he came to in quire the cause of his removal, he found that it was on account of his conduct on the Commission, because he had suggested that a raked or advocate should be admitted for the accused. With regard to the ulterior proceed ings the Government had adopted no means of in dicating their intentions to him. During the time the Commission was sitting, he had stated to those about him his desire of collecting information, if information could be had. But no informers came forward ; and why ? Clearly because it was thought that justice, and justice only, was the object of the Government. When the Raja had sent the present it was by his (General Lod wick's) advice. If the Raja had neglected that advice it would have been a breach of the treaty. When the Resident was removed that was positive proof of the animus of the Government against the Raja, because ' everybody knew that'he was the friend of the Raja. Whatever he (Colonel Lodwick) had done had been by the orders of the Bombay Government. The persons who had been seized had been seized under the direc tions of the Government, and no person had been seized without the directions of the Government. They all had heard of the character of Ballajee Punt. Two days after his removal had been notified to him a letter had arrived from the Chief Secretary to the Governor of Bombay, directed to Ballajee Punt, desiring him to go and assist the new Resident. Now, let them see the result of that. Every body knew the in timacy of Ballajee with the Raja's brother, —in fact he was now Prime Minister of Sattara, and everybody knew that he was inimical to the Raja, and every vakeel before he (General Lodwick) left, told him that it was mentioned as a matter of course that the Raja was to be deposed. The people of Sattara then, plainly perceived the animus by which the Bombay Go vernment was actuated, and that accounted for the swarms of informers that then came forward. All who remained faithful to the Raja became suspected. Infor mations were laid against his friends • they were seized and confined, and all who could be of any use to the Raja were removedsfrom 'him. It had been said that he had been entering into treasonable correspondence, with Meersag. Now if the Bombay Government had any information-that this treasonable correspondence had been carrying on, why did they not seize the papers of Meersag or .take his deposition ? That would have been the natural course. He did not wish to give his opinion on the subject. He did not believe that the charges had been proved, Every one must admit that it was an ex parte case, and that the Raja had never been heard. He would fain, if possible, draw a veil over the proceed ing, which he must designate as seething the kid in the niobher's milk. • He alluded to the seizing and shutting up of an unfortunate individual, and then taking his evidence. He might have been told that his mother was dying, and propositions might have .been made to him, that if he did so and so. he would be released. Such things might be possible. With regard to the question of the Jagheerdars, that was a difficult question, and Lord Clare had been quoted, among others, as deciding against the claims of the Raja. But what said the Raja on that subject ? He said that if Mr. Elphinstone de cided he had no claim, he would persist in it that he would abide by the opinion of Mr. Elphinstone, who must know the nature of the treaty, because he had made it. Had they attempted to obtain the opinion of Mr. Elphinstone ?—(Hear, hear.) With regard to Lord Clare his Lordship had expressed himself subse quently, on regretting the decision to which he had come. His Lordship had said to him (General Lod wick), " I was wrong, and the Raja was right—we were all wrong, and, if necessary for the ends of jus tice, do not spare me." After that, he hoped they would hear no more of the authority of Lord Clare being quoted as against the claims of the Raja. They might all be in error at times, but when they had been so it was right to confess it.—(Hear, Shear.) The Deputy- Chairman had thought proper to deprecate these discus sions, as tending to no good purpose. Sir J. L. LUSIIINGTON rose to explain. He had not said anything that could be construed into a denial of the competency of the Court to entertain those ques tions ; on the contrary, he expressly admitted it ; but he had stated that they possessed no power to alter a reso lution of the Board of Directors after that resolulion had been confirmed by the Board' of Control. He had stated that he considered the power of the Court of Proprietors to discuss those questions was most valuable ; ' and that he could conceive a case in which the Court of Directors might hen.- forward such subject before a Court 'of Directors for discussion, but ho ex pressed his fear that if the Court of Proprietors was made an instrument for the useless agitation of such subjects, they might, by some stringent enactment, be deprived of this valuable privilege. After a few words from Mr. Lmwis in explanation, General LODWICK proceeded—This was a question proper to be discussed in that Court. It was whether the Court would sanction an injustice, and the privileges of that Court could never be endangered by public dis cussion and an appeal to public opinion. --(Hear, 'hear.) With regard to the question of suttee, it was true that -the late Raja — had not absolutely prohibited it, but he was so far estranged from the Brahmins thathehad,before giving his consent to any suttee taking place, always had the victims before him, and offered to settle a pen sion on th'am if they would not perform it. He (General Lodwick) had not asked the Raja to prohibit suttees, because he had no instructions from his Government to do so, but he had no doubt that, if it had been wished, the Raja would have prohibited them.—(Hear.) General BRIGGS said that he had been four years a resident at the Court of Sattara, and during that tinge, having had opportunities of becoming acquainted with the disposition of the Raja, he had thought it his duty, before leaving Bombay, to put the Government in possession, in the secret department, of his opinion of his Highness the Raja of Sattara. It was not for him to ask for the production of the whole of that letter. It was communicated confidentially. He had dono his duty when he had sent it to the Govern ment • and he thought he had no business to refer to or publish that letter.—(Hear, hear.) It had passed a strong eulogium on the Government of the Raja, but it also passed severe censure on several of his acts, and severe censure on several of his propensities. Consider able misapprehension existed with regard to the position of the Raja of Sattara, and particularly as to the origin of his Government. (Hear, hear, hear.) It was true that the Government of the Rajas of Sattara had been usurped by the Peishwa in the same way that the Government of the Raja of Mysore had been usurped hy the Mohammedan Dynasty. On the destruction of the Mohammedan dynasty in 1799, it had been thought politically expedient to restore to the Rajas the Govern ment of Mysore. They had restored to them all the country over which they had formerly ruled, the con querors reserving to themselves only those portions of territory which had been added to the Raja of Mysore during the usurpation of the Mohammedans. Now, it was a remarkable circumstance in the case of the Rajas of Sattara, that the Peishwas always treated them . with a deference and respect which would astonish some of the members of the Court. A sum of money had been given on the occasion of the marriage of the daughter of the Raja of Sattara to celebrate the nup tials. That sum was limited to 50,000 rupees, or about 5,000/. sterling, and that was at the time the Raja was imprisoned. Now 5,0001. seemed alasge sum to expend nn themarriage of a state prisoner's daughter. Even in the time of the late Peishwa, he used to apply to the Raja to confirm his -appointments, and even for permis sion to engage in war he always solicited the Baja of Sattara. No honours were conferred by the Peishwa, but by the Raja of Sattara. Individuals were brought to Sattara; a sort of mock ceremony was gone through; the Raja was supplied with money necessary for the pur pose, butall honours were conferred by the Raja of Sattara. It was a curious fact, that when the late Peishwa of Agra Came to the determination of making war with the British he asked permission of the Raja of Sattara, though this P r i nce was at t h e t i me hi s p r i so ner.—(Hear, hear, hear.) . „He (General Briggs) heard this from the llaja hwa hn h se t les:-:(Hear. hems) And when he asked the answer did he give, the Raja burst into laughter, and exclaimed, " What could I do ?" — (Hear, and a laugh.) The education of the ex-Raja was left to the superintendence of his mother, a talented and am feaaersheifyulplyridinestainll(eidaimnbtoitihoins w n h ii i n e e n l s b a the rn itio e u " n •o ti m m a e n n'ts w o h f o father entertained, There was in that family an in tense hatred of the Is sa a m i ns, on son, and his which,ther which descended from exhibited uot be ing t ni se i l t f ig l a n " mu b t y u a t l he an in t mo sities between him and the ord er w b -- en be was sfatrtubcetir to n re stored by the British Power.

He could only add, that since the Raja was released from the superintendence of Cap tain Grant, he had religiously showed the conditions of the t rea ty. One. of them was, that he shoul d not Weirs fere 'witthe religious feelings of the people. To this he adhered so scrupulously, that even when he was ap pointed by two oataaling . ties, to decide between them on a question which involved some considerations of relieion, he positively refused to do so, until he (General 13,) suggested that the whole case might be made a matter of owll jrisdiction, if the parties were desirous that it should be determined by the Raja. The suitors acted union that suggestion, and the affair lags satisfactorily settled. 'Whereupon the Rajawept b. with of joy, that he had satisfi ed the wishes ro_and his su l e j e s c a t i s d without infringing on the tEgaty (Ch e "If I had even violated one Clanditii" even in a little, I could not know to what it mi g ht loads'' --4aboers,) Tke Hon. and Gallant Propriet or then went Into a states ment . of the Raja's revenue and expenditure, to show that he had conalacted the finances of his state with nomy, and at the same tign3 with libe ralit y —es p ecially in respect to public and cheers.

Ile had SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The Chronicle, in adding some farther quo tations from agricultural writers to those which we made yesterday from Arthur Young, obseries, "We are not aware that any one agricultural writer of eminence has ever advocated the Corn-laws." They are forced upon the farmers by needy and grasping landowners, and are defended by men who in general know nothing of agri culture." The Tories protect agriculture by Corn laws, as they protected religion by Test Acts, and Roman Catholic disabilities. In the former, as in the present instance, they proceeded against all the autho rities which carried any weight with them—even those of their own party. There is not a single name of those (excepting Lord Eldon) whom the Tories affect to claim and commemorate as the past champions of their principles—there is not one ac knowledged really great Conservative name, from Burke to Canning, which affords authority for religious ex clusion any more than commercial restriction. Yet intolerance was the bond of union which kept the Tory party together. Monopoly is the bond of union which holds it together now. What shall we say of a party, which can only name its great men, without quoting them ; and, if it quoted them, would only prove that, in naming, it takes their names in rain I And what Shall we say of reasoners on corn legisla tion, who are capable of making a continual bugbear (as Sir R. Peel, Lord Stanley, and all their organs have been doing ad nauseam) of a single passage in the speech of Lord Charles Russell, in which that scion of the house of Bedford expressed apprehensions lest repeal of. the Corn-laws should throw two millions of acres out of corn cultivation. ,Why, take Lord Charles's bull by the horns. For the sake of argument—suppose it should. Suppose a repeal of the Corn-laws Should throw two mil lions of acres out of corn culture I Is that a considera tion so momentous as to outweigh all others ? -Is the retention in arable of the two million acres most unfit for that purpose in England, compensation in full for compromising the fate of our greatest masses of work people, and our most important branches of external trade ? COURIER—The present election has taught the Conservatives the most valuable lesson ever yet read to a great party—to know its own strength—and under the guidance of that lesson will their future movements be directed. We are fully aware of what the journals in the confidence of Ministers would fain insinuate, but what is too gross for them openly to assert ; we know what they are driving at in their dark inuendoes with re gard to the probability of another dissolution early next year; but we also know that there exists not the shadow of a shade of foundation for anticipating such a con tingency. Sir Robert Peel's majority in the new Parliament will be too powerful, too irresistible, to re quire that he should adopt any mode of strengthening himself beyond what will accrue to him from the gradual development of his policy: and so fatal has been the issue of the experiment of a dissolution to the Whig party, that even had they the means or the opportu nity.' to try their chances a second time, they would shrink from it with that instinctive dread with which a " burned child" regards the fire. Another disso lution would altogether annihilate them ; the allu sions to it as a means of recruiting their shattered forces, in which the Whig journals have been lately indulging, were intended only to alleviate their sense of defeat or soothe their wounded pride. The coun try has proved itself to be too essentially Conserva tive in spirit, that a second appeal should be required, and it was too powerfully impressed with the sense of the danger inseparable from Whig rule, to relapse again into its former inactive state. Had the Whigs not shown themselves so openly and undisguisedly in the true co lour of destructives—had their desperation not driven them to assail with such virulent hostility the greatest interests of the empire, their case would not altogether have been so utterly hopeless as it is ; but detected, con victed, and punished as they have been, they are doomed for life to the cold and cheerless regions of a feeble and fruitless opposition. Their fall has been too great to admit of any hopes of their re-ascent. A loss of over forty members cannot speedily or easily be replace& a loss not confined to English counties or even English bo roughs, but spread over Ireland and Scotland. STANDARD.—We have to-day to announce the ra tification of the dismissal of Mr. Handley from South Lincoln, and Mr. Wilbrham Irma South Cheshire, with the almost certainty of three more Conservative gains in Ireland—namely, two in the metropolitan county, and one in the adjacent county of Wicklow. The whole Conservative gain in Ireland will probably amount to at least ten votes; it already amounts to six—viz., Dublin City. two; Waterford City, two, Queen's County, one ; Athlone borough, one—to these, as we have said, Dublin County, two ; and Wicklow one, may be added with almost certainty, making nine gained. Long ford County will most probably afford' the tenth, while it is scarcely possible but that some must be gained in the otheecontests approaching or in progress, in Clare, Cork, Louth, Tipperary, Wexford, while it is evi dent that nothing can be lost, as the five counties have been hitherto represented by Whig-Radicals. One Con servative seat has been lost pro tem. at Kinsale, and one is threatened in each of the counties of arlow and Kerry, but we think not seriously. In Carlow, indeed, a gain. may be expected ; but, admitting against appearances the possibility of the loss of these two seats, the balance of Conservative gain on the whole of the Irish elections will hardly be less than ten seats—a respectable addition to the British ma jority, but infinitely more valuable as proof of the Con servative re-action in that part of the United Kingdom where it has been thought least energetical, and where it questionless has had the greatest difficulties. The Sovereign, the people, and they who may be called to her Majesty's Councils, must learn from the re sult of the Irish elections that there really is such a class as the Conservative Protestants of Ireland possessed of power to claim respect and considera tion—that they are not the "miserable minority" they have been described, but the possessors of what ever legitimate influence exists in the island. They have beaten the Queen's Ministers, they have beaten the Romanist priesthood and the Radical agitators. They who have done this can be no longer treated with the contempt which has been too much their portion. Two of the greatest victories gained through the whole of this glorious struggle are undoubtedly those won in the cities of Dublin and Waterford—and, as units in the Conserva tive democracy, we cannot but rejoice that they have been won by the people alone, without aid of any kind from the higher class of Conservatives. Dublin sends to Parliament two professio'nal gentlemen, undistinguished in any way except by their talents, their honourable private character, and their fidelity to Protestant prin ciples ; and the case of Waterford is, if possible, still more striking. sT'lktr, LONDON.

'I he bankrupt is described as a " merchant," but his thalings were principally in Cornwall mining shares, and it appears he was connected with the mines called Trevarthen Downs, Wheal Fortune, Rospeath, Wheal Friendship, Owen Vean, and Wheal Prosper. The first subject brought under the consideration of the Court was the taking of the proofs of parties who had advanced na , meys to the bankrupt to carry on his mining operations. Mr. Romilly appeared as counsel on behalf of the Rev. James Ellice to prove for 15,0001. upon a bond for moneys advanced to the bankrupt. After a short inquiry the proof was then allowed. The claim of Colonel Rushbrooke, M.P., for nearly 36,00 a, was then brought forward by Mr. Romilly. Ile said he also understood that this was to be opposed on the same grounds as the other proof ; but he thought he should state such a clear case to the Court, that there could not be a doubt as'to the right of the gallant Colonel to prove for the sum stated. To show how the connexion arose between Col. Rushbrooke and the bankrupt he read a letter, the precise date of which was not named, but it was within the year 1838. It began by the bankrupt addressing the Colonel as " My dear Colonel," and proceeded to state that each of his mines was a distinct, separate interest, that their productive ness could net fail to ensure large profits to the shareholders, and that it was with a view to benefit his immediate friends that he kept the shares within a " select circle," and out of the reach of all stock-jobbing adventurers. It also stated that it was a curious fact that the product of copper never equalled the demand (we suppose in allusion to some of the mines), and concluded by stating that it ought also to be borne in mind that while they were enriching themselves out of the bowels of " mother earth," they were by the exercise of their capital and works giving employment to thousands of their fellow-creatures, who would otherwise be in the greatest possible distress and wretchedness. (This letter excited a great deal of laughter. ) Mr. Anderton said he believed that it was not imputed that the bankrupt had acted dishonestly or fraudulently, bnt that, on the contrary, he could give an account of every penny he had received in respect to these transactions. His views as to the results had unfortunately proved erroneous. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS did not know how it would turn. All he could say was, it appeared that the bankrupt had raised 366,0001. through these mines. Mr. Romilly, in continuation, said that Col. Rushbrooke did not seek to prove for 40,000/. in respect of shares which he held, but confined his proof to three sums, which were ad vanced for the bankrupt, and composed the 36,000/. before stated. Each of these sums were advanced for a particular purpose, and might he briefly stated as follows :—ln the first case, the demands which the Reverend Mr. Ellice made upon the bankrupt to repay part of his advances were stated by the bankrupt to Colonel Rushbrooke to have thrown him into temporary difficulties, and he asked the Colonel to enter into a bond jointly and severally to pay Mr. Ellice 10,000/., which he (the Colonel) did, and which he had subsequently to pay ; that was the first sum. The second was for another 10,0001., and arose out of these circumstances :—The bankrupt's private bankers were Messrs. Stone, Martin, and Stone, of Lombard-street, and he owed them about this time a balance of 13,000/., which they required him to pay. He could not do it, and Colonel Rus brooke gave a bond to Messrs. Stone and Martin, to pay the sum of upwards of 10,0001., which he did. The third sum was composed of four bills of exchange, which Colonel Rushbrooke had accepted for the bankrupt, one of which was not at pre sent in court, but would be forthcoming when required; two were for 2,5001. each, and two for 5,0001. each. These the Colonel had to take up, the bankrupt forfeiting his word, that he would be ready to meet them when they came due. These facts were, he (Mr. Romilly) thought, sufficiently clear to entitle Colonel Rushbrooke to prove. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS thought so too. Proof was admitted for principal and interest. Mr. Anderton said, he was sorry to hear that one of the best of the mines, in consequences of the little confidence of the shareholders, had been sold for a few thousands, and was now worth eight or ten times that sum. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS said, it had certainly gone from the creditors. It was the " Godolphin" mine. There was, how ever, to be a private sitting to investigate that affair, not that it was to be supposed that it was such a mine of wealth that the proceeds would pay off the national debt. With respect to mines in general, he had had a good deal of experience en the western circuit, and he was told that if the whole mines of Cornwall were consolidated they would not pay 5 per cent. Mr. Anderton said, that there was unfortunately a great deal lost in them, but some of them " turned up trumps." He knew a highly respectable physician who placed confidence in these undertakings. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS said, some paid a profit for a time, but the shareholders were ultimately involved. A bill of exchange for 5,0001. was then tendered for proof by two parties who had discounted it for 4,5001. It was ac cepted by the bankrupt and a person named Dl•Donald, and endorsed by a Mr. Hassey. The proof was admitted. The debts proved, besides those enumerated, were not for any large amount. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Hertford, July 15. CROWN COURT. Mr. Sergeant TAnDY, in consequence of the indisposition of Mr. Justice BOSANQUE?, took his mat on the bench in this Court. The Grand Jury having been sworn, and Lord Grimston being appointed foreman, the Learned Sergeant briefly ad dressed them, and said, that there was only one case on the calendar that would require any observations from him. That case was a charge of rape, and in reference to that charge it would be as well to state that during the last session of Parlia ment the punishment for that offence had been most materially altered after very grave deliberation, and the capital punish ment would be abolished after next October. The Learned Sergeant then proceeded to allude to the circumstances of the alleged offence, and said that it was a charge which at all times required the most grave and attentive consideration. CIVIL SIDE. The following was the only case of interest tried this day COURTNALL THE YOUNGER. V. COVENET. SEDUCTION.—This was an action to recover compensation •r damages for the loss of the services of the plaintiff's sister, in consequence of her seduction by the defendant. Mr. '1 hesiger and Mr. Ogle were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Platt and Mr. Peacock for the defendant. Mr. TRESIGER addressed the Jury, and said that the pre sent action was brought by the plaintiff, who was the brother of the unfortunate subject of the inquiry, in the form of a master claiming compensation for the loss of the services of his servant, his sister acting, at the time the transaction took place, in that capacity, and being under his charge. That was the only form in which the action could be brought before the Jury. The Learned Counsel then went on to state that the defendant was a young man, the son of a wealthy farmer, residing near Sittingbourne, in Kent, and who, having been apprenticed to the plaintiff, who carried on the business of a linen-draper at Hadley, and who was assisted by his sister in his business, took that opportunity of gaining her affections and effecting her ruin. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to detail the circumstances, as they afterwards appeared in evidence, and he concluded by calling upon the Jury to give exemplary damages to mark their sense of the offence which the defendant had committed, and as some recompence for the outraged feelings of her friends. The Learned Counsel called the following witnesses : Hannah Courtnall deposed that she was twenty-one years of age ; her father resided at Barnet. In the year 1836 she went to assist her brother, who carried on the business of a linendraper at Hadley, and she was engaged to serve in the shop, and hoarded with the family of her brother. She re membered the defendant Daniel Coveney coming to her bro ther's, which was about a rear and a half after she first went, and he subsequently became her brother's apprentice. He paid her attentions which witness returned, and she considered their attachment mutual, and after their intimacy had continued a short time he made her an offer of marriage. In June, 1833, witness went to see a relation in London, and she informed her of the offer the defendant had made, and he was in conse quence invited there to dinner, and they walked out together with the consent of her relation. While she was in London she received letters from the defendant, but she had destroyed the whole of them. During their intercourse she ascertained that the defendant was holding some intercourse with a young lady named Bird, and she spoke to him about it, and he said he would break off that connexion en her account. In 1839 their mutual attachment appeared still to continue, and in the course of that year she yielded to his wishes. Their intercourse continued after this until the month of June, when she went to London to spend some time, and during the whole of the period she was there, although the defendant used to write to her constantly before, she never received a single letter from him. Soon after this time she was about to accompany her father to Beccles, in Suffolk, and she asked the defendant whether he intended to write to her, and he said if she did not hear from him by the following Wednesday she might consider the acquaintance broken off. He said, however, that he would certainty write, but she slid not receive any letter. Vk !Ale at Beccles a tradesman named Boreham paid her attentions, and offered her marriage, and her father consented that it should take place. Soon after her return from Beccles she saw the defendant, and he asked whether it was true that she was going to be married to Mr. Boreham, and she said it was, and that it was on account of his not writing to her., The next day she received a letter from Mr. Boreham, and she showed it to the defendant, and he ,did not appear very. well pleased at it; and the next day he said, in the presence of a relative, that ho was still the saine, and that no one else should marry her, and he wished her to break off with Mr. Boreham and he said if she did th a t h e would break off with Miss Bird. In the month of September the defendantwrote to her a letter, in which he again requested that she should break off with Mr. Boreham, and declaring that he, and no one else, should have her, and she, in consequence, declined to have any further conversation with him, Witness was confined with a little girl, on the 4th of March last. When she first ascertained that she was in the family way she informed the defendant of it, and he said he was glad of it, for she must have him as that was the case, Cross-examined—She went to her sister's in London in June, and remained there about a month, and she was in the habit of going out every day, and her sister was commonly her companion; but she frequently went by herself. She did not always walk the same way. She had crossed the different bridges while she was in London for the purpose of visiting some friends of her brother. She only meant to take a walk, and occasionally she went out over one bridge and returned by another. Mr. Boreham was not in town during any part of this time. She was not invited to Beetles by Mr. Boreham. but she aecompapied her father there, and they lodged in that place at the house of a person named Smith. 11r. Borehain did not visit them much before he proposed marriage to her. He might have seen her a dozen times. She went to visit Mr. Boreham wi'hout her father, but she did not do so many times. While she was at her brother's she served in the shop, and it was the custom after supper for the apprentices, witness, and the maid, to go down in the kitchen, and her brother had complained of their frolicking and making so much noise together. Her brother had left her with the ap prentices, and they had walked to:ether at night in the orchard. There was another apprentice named Smith., and a maid -servant, and they were frequently together in the orchard at night. The defendant was seventeen years old when he first came to her brother's, and the improper inter course did not take place between them for a year and a half afterwards. She did not recollect whether the first intercourse took place in or out of doors. She now remembered it took place in a house. (The witness being pressed, at length said it was in the shop that the intercourse took place.) Did not know whether the fellow .apprentice was in the kitchen with the maid at the time it took place. While this was going on her brother was sitting up with his wife. She knew a gentle man named Wood, who was frequently at Barnet, but she did not know where he resided. His father was a clergyman, and he lived at Barnet. Young Mr. Wood was about one or two and twenty years old, and on one occasion he overtook her and another young lady in Hadley Wood, and he conversed with them about ten minutes, and this was the only occasion he spoke to her. Believed Mr. Wood was called " Bright -eyes," but she never called him by that name. Remembered a po liceman being at Barnet. She never walked with him, cr Called 1401 the nubolled lobster. Her brother had, on some THE WILLIAM BROWN. The Post of this morning contains the statement of John Messer, one of the seamen of the William Brown, who was saved in the long-boat. his description of the horrible scene enacted in the boat does not tend to re lieve the mate from any of the odium which public opinion has placed upon him for his barbarous treat ment of the unfortunate passengers. After describing the loss of the ship, &e., and the embarkation of a por tion of the passengers, he goes on as follows '— Before leaving us, the captain addressed the boat's crew encouragingly, desired us to keep our hearts up, not to quarrel or fight among ourselves, but to be ad vised by the mate, and to do what he should desire us. He then bid us good bye, and in fifteen minutes or so *as out of sight. During the whole of the day the weather was ex tremely cold, and tile sea very rough. We rigged a drag with our oars in order to keep the boat's head to the sea, and to break the force of the waves. Towards night-fall the mate consulted in a low voice, with several of the crew, about lightening the boat. I was , aft at the time, with my back against the stern. 'At last he said to me and another man, who was near me, " Well, I I suppose you have no objections to lending us a hand to lighten the boat?" I inquired how he intended to do so? and while I was speaking I heard a splash alongside, and the whole boat was in an uproar—the work of death had commenced. The other man and myself both remon strated against such cold-blooded proceedings, and said If we are to die, let us die fair—let us cast lots." " Very well," said the mate, " they will throw you overboard next." I then drew my sheath knife, and swore that whoever should lay a hand on me should share my fate. The mate then called a tall negro, one of the crew, aft, to toss me overboard, but when he saw my knife, he went forward again and lent the others a hand. My companion stuck close to me during the whole of the heartrending scene, determined to defend himself to the last. • One old man, a native of Ireland, when about to be seized, fell upon his knees and entreated them to spare his life, and he would give them all he had. He then drew from his purse a numb er of sovereigns, and offered them to the crew, but they were thrown aside and himself thrown overboard, lad about 18 years of age requgsted time to say his prayers, and when he concluded, he said 44 lam now prepared —l do not wish you to throw me overboard—l will go myself," and he stepped off the gunwale of the boat into the sea. Of all who wore thrown overboard, not one, to my know ledge, succeeded in getting on board again. There were no hands cut off nor any blood spilt ; neither did any one, except the young man already mentioned, jump overboard voluntarily. Thu R040111;0 passengers offered no 1 resistance — prayers and entreaties were all they used. " Oh, spare me ! spare me !" several of them cried, even while they were half overboard. I will not attempt a description of this awful scene—it would melt a heart of stone. I bellove there were sixteen thrown overboard. The boat was baled out a f ter s h e h a d been lightened ; she then rod e very we ll , an d ma d e b ut li t tl e water.

Upon our arrival at Havre in the Ville de Lyon, the A •MODERN SIREN, OR LIVING _ MERMAID. EXTRAORDINARY STORY OP CRUELTY. (From L' Audience—Paris Journal.) The following " cock and bull" story, which, as the Americans say, is " extraordinary if true," appears in in one of the Parisian Journals : _ _ _ The Sirens, those supernatural creations—half woman and half fish—owe their existence to that fruitful source of wonders, fabulous history. They were, according to this authority, thc daughters of the river Achelons and the muse Calliope ; their names were Parthenope, Leu cothce, and Ligeia. These beautiful divinities, having in their pride dared to defy the Goddesses of Olympus and the Muses of Parnassus, lost their wings as a punish ment; and retired into the deserts of Sicily and Campania. Those who have chosen to moralise upon this fable, assert that the Sirens were nothing better than courtezans, who dwelt near the sea-shore in Sicily, and who, by their volup tuous attractions, so fascinated all who passed, that they utterly forgot their occupations and lost their way. They add, moreover, that the names and number of the three Sirens were founded upon the triple pleasure of the senses-,-music, love, and wine. From this idea they have derived the etymology of the word Siren—namely, from the Greek word seira, a chain—by which it is sig nified that their charms were as a chain about those who came within their influence. The last great occasion on which the Sirens appeared on the scene was when the sage Ulysses made his escape from them—thanks to the counsels of Ciroe. The Sirens, seeing the learned warrior escape them, were so chagrined that they plunged into the ocean and were never seen more--such is the assertion of the mytholo gical writers. But it now appears that this is a mistake: they have once more appeared. M. Amedie Pichot, the learned editor of the Revue Britannique, has published an article upon the Sirens, which would alone suffice to re-establish the fact of their existence and their powers in our own days. The story it contains is as follows Towards the end of the month of February last, an Englishman, named Hudson, took up his residence at Rome, near the Porta del Popolo, and announced in the Diario di Roma, the Gazette of the Holy City, that he had a most extraordinary object for public exhibition, in a word, no less rare an object than a Siren On the appearance of this announcement all the savuns of Rome hastened to visit the rooms of Mr. Hudson, and, surpri prising as it may seem, every one came away with a full conviction of the bona fide character of the exhibition, a most charming creature, half woman half fish, was found reclining in an immense bath ; her head was adorned with long black locks, among which marine plants ap peared to grow ; her face was charming, and the features perfectly regular ; but in the place of a neck she ap peared to have a sort of collar of scales, and the " crea ture" terminated in an immense fish-tail, which floated in the water with all the vitality of a real natural fish But cette bizarre creature spoke not a word—ever and anon she would open her mouth as if about to speak, and then instantly plunge into the water. It will readily be conceived that such an exhibition excited a lively cu riosity among all the wonder-loving world. The Prince Borghese, the Duc de Bordeaux, Count Briggeis, and Don Sebasiano d'Alvar, of Spain, were among those who satisfied themselves that " it" was alive and en bonne sante. The people shared the curiosity of the great, and manifested even a larger share of enthusiasm, as well as a strong desire to penetrate into the mysteries of the existence of Zevelar (the name which Hudsor had given to his monster), and one of the servants of the hotel glided unperceived into the principal room occu pied by him, concealed himself in the fire-place, and waited the result of his voyage of discovery. He had not been there long when he saw Hudson come into the room, dragging after him by the hair of the head the poor Zevelar. The poor Siren was drripping wet, and the big tears rolled from her sorrowful eyes ; she walked upright, and the fish's skin which formed the lower ex tremity dragged along the ground. She threw herself on the floor, and cried out in perfectly intelligible English, " Oh, pity ! for mercy's sake, pity ! pity ' The ser vant, who did not understand the English language, thought she spoke in her "langue maritime." The fel low then began to beat her, upon which she exclaimed, " Spare my life, oh God ! and I obey ! " No longer able to bear the frightful spectacle, the servant seized the first opportunity to steal away, and recounted all he had seen. His story was the means of awakening the attention of the authorities, and Doctor Amarati was sent to visit the pretended divinity of the waters. The Doctor soon discovered that the Siren was, in point of fact, none other than a young woman of afoot twenty years of age, whose mind had given way under the cruel treatment which she bad experienced at the hands of her inhuman master ; and he found that the fish tail and the scaly neckpiece were artfully fastened on with flesh coloured silk. On her body he discovered the blood stained marks of punishment which she had received from "farouche Hudson." He was immediately arrested and thrown into prison, and before the tribunal he con fessed that he had taken "his Siren" on the banks of the Thames ; that it was, in fact, a young woman, whom he had fitted with a tail and exhibited merely for the sake of • making money. The young woman, whose real name turned out to be Jane Soane, was introduced, and described her suffer ings from the immersion. She suffered greatly from the cold, and all her teeth, she said, had fallen out from its effects. President—How was it that you did not, when per sons came to see you, make known the cruelties which were practised on you ? Jane Soane—Oh, no, I dared not. If I opened my mouth, he pulled the cord immediately. President—What cord ? .a. • • - Jane Soame (pointing to her neck)—lt was fastened here, under the scales. If I attempted to speak. he pulled the cord, and I was plunged under water in an in stant.—(Expressions of indignation.) The Court sentenced Hudson to imprisonment for life. He heard his sentence with a smile, and said, " Qui vivra verra 1" and was led out whistling an Irish air. BATHING AT THE AZORES. As early in the morning as five o'clock the operations of bathing begin, and they continue until nine, ten, and eleven o'clock. A company of four or five persons from Ponta Delgada, who have taken lodgings or own houses in the valley, assemble at their doors wrapped in cloaks and provided with umbrellas, under the ample shadow of which they saunter down to the baths followed by the bare-footed or liveried servant with his gaudy bag of towels. Another set of Villa Franca similarly dressed, or wearing strange-fashioned hats and bonnets, such as ;now are only to be seen in the Ladies' Magagine, (of the date of steel-buckled hats and tall crowns), may choose to ride on asses ; and these, accompanied by their noisy driver, splash through the ford and hurry and scuffle in the same direction. A pale soldier and his young wife who cannot afford to ride ; obese shopkeepers from Al lagoa, abdomina tardi ; merry children piled two and three upon one ass ; a helpless paralytic in his palan quin ; a wasted invalid whose heavy cloak hangs about him as if he were merely bones ; an aged countryman buried in his carapuca ; a sad woman and a melancholy boy, both afflicted with leprosy ; the handsome, well-fed, sleek mistress of the Governor, with her array of gaily dressed servants ; a pot-bellied morgado ; a good-tem pered and well-favoured Nun fro m Villa Franca, and her many friends and single attendant ; an amaurotic man, led by his mother, and staring at the morning sun ; waddling priests from the same place • meagre, yellow young men, with short linen ja c k e ts and recent English trowsers ; fat lads in blouses, and weakly village girls in blue cloaks and full grey petticoats, may all7be met with, on one day or another; wending their way from the village to the Caldeiras in quest of their one thing needful—health. Having arrived at the springs, they either take their bath at once, or, if the bathing-houses are occupied, sit in the small verandas in front of them, or lounge about the boilers, take snuff ; smoke, and gossip according as they may feet inclined. The choice of baths at the springs lies between sulphur, iron, and the mixture of both, There are four bathing-houses ; one belonging to the Baron de Laranjeiros, which is the 13( st; another open to the public, which is the worst ; third, the property of the American Vice-Consul .Mr. Hickling ; and a fourth, which contains the iron and sulphur waters mixed, or the cold iron-water alone, and called the Misturas, the property of I know not whom. In each bathing-house there is a reclining board ; and the custom of many of the Azortians is to take their p b e a r th sp i ir a a t tin a n, high temperature n , sel t v o es get in ii n ito hi a lg p e ro e f ln u t s i e l varying fl•om a quarter of an hour to a whole one : after this, to envelope their mouths and neck, and occasionally the entire head, in a pocket-handkerchief or napkin, that they may, imbibe no breath of cold air on their way home; and sometimes on their arrival there to lie down once more and. perspire again. But in neither of these have we followed them in our daily baths. The most agreeable temperature for the sulphur baths is from 92 deg. to 95 deg, Fahrenheit ; hotter than this they are debilitating, and much cooler, chilly. The mixture of sulphur and iron, as it is more stimulating, may be made somewhat cooler ; but a temperature between 90 deg. to 95 deg. is the most pleasant. Never has it been my good fortune to bathe in so luxurious a bath as the un mixed sulphur -water. If anything could possibly be found to reconcile one to earthquake, it is assuredly to be found in the baths of the Pumas. Here they are whenever you may choose to enjoy them, by night and by day, in the cold and in heat, summer and winter, al ways the same, welling from their source in never-failing abundance; open at: all hours, free to all, and free of cost. But let it not be supposed that we are in a Bath pump room, with its marble luxuries. Nothing can be less in viting than the appearance ofthese bathing-houses, which, for the most part, have a subterranean aspect; but, ex cept to the fastidious, they are all-sufficient for the one purpose for wnich they have been built,—that of amply enjoying the waters. And let a rheumatic and sour-tempered Englishman, exercising his national privilege of grumbling, to its fullest extent, and whose every word and work, complexion, gait, and temper, —whose very clothes, hanging on the pegs of the bath room, indicate bile, a f ter d espi sing the appearance of these rooms, slpwly, quietly, otter-Ulte, subside into a sulphur-bath, tempered by ald John Quiet, to the mode rate warmth of 95 deg. ; and then let him confess whe ther he be not at once a wiser and a better man, whether his discontent has not lessened, his lust for purple and . fine linen vanished, and his care for marble and pump. rooms faded away.-711milare Winter in the Await • occasiomt, complained of her inattention to husiner, but not of her laugling and joking with the apprentices. Site was rot discharged from her brother's service. W.-examined—The gentleman wlv) had been mentioned, Mr. Wood, never took tee least impruper liberty with her, o ,:ther did :11r. Boreham, and no person had done so but the defendant. Mr. James Courtnall, father of the last witness, proved the fact of her having been placed in the service of her brother, and he also ccrroborated her evidence in reverence to the other cif cumstances of her journey to Ileceles, Ice. lie could not tell the precise time when he was first informed of the misfor tune that had befallen his daughter; in consequence of what was told him, he had an interview with the defendant, and told him what he had heard, and he said it was no use to deny it, and he attempted to cast some insinuations upon her character, and witness told him he was making it worse. Witness asked him what he proposed to do, and he said he should do nothing, and witness then said he must adopt some other course. Witness afterwards saw the defendant in the presence of his mother, and he suggested to the latter that the young people should be married ; but she would not consent to it, and said she should not control her son's inclinations, and that he was engaged to another young lady. Finding that they would not consent to the marriage, he proposed that some mutual friends should be called in to arrange the matter, but this pro position was also refused. Cross-examined—He had been put to an expense of 221., and there were various expenses to be paid. He certainly expected some compensation for the injury his daughter had sustained. _ _ Mr. PLATT then addressed the jury for the defendant, and Chief Justice TINDAI, having summed up, the jury delibe rated for a few minutes, and then returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 401. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. Several men have within the last week made complaint at the Justice-room of breaeh of contract upon the part of Messrs. Ackerman, Morgan, and Co., Bristol, engineers ; and Alder man Wilson, upon hearing the nature of the cause of dis agreement, directed that Mr. Arthur Bell, the agent to the firm, which is one of the highest respectability, should attend to give an explanation or defence of the conduct of the principals. Arthur Grei3 stated that he was an engineer, and resided at Deptford-green. That having seen an advertisement in the newspapers for a number of engineers, and the reference to Mr. Pall, the agent to the Bristol Company, he applied ac cordingly. and was informed by that gentleman that the wages to be paid to the men was to be 325. and 345. ; that he said he was satisfied to go if he was to receive 345. a-week ; and that Mr. Ball consented, and wrote upon a card, " Pay An drew Greig 345. a-week ;" and mentioned that witness should, after a little, have his expenses to Bristol defrayed. The business for which witness, and five other men who were present, were engaged, was to make new engines for steam vessels. He wrought for three weeks, and, in the middle of the last week, be was at work. The foreman told him that his pair was to be reduced to 265. a-week. Upon hearing which, he expos tulated with Mr. Morgan upon such an unreasonable chance, and was informed by that gentleman that there was a mistake upon the part of his communicant. Having, however, ascer tained that the reduction was to take place, notwithstanding the positive agreement with the Company's agent, he left the concern, and he had not received the price of his journey up and down, although it was perfectly well understood that the expenses we.c to' be defrayed. Under all the circumstances, he and .everal other men had found it necessary, in conse quence of the reduction, to quit the work, to their serious in jury and inconvenience. He defied any skilful person to find fault with his work, and he considered that the conduct of the Managers of the Company was reprehensible in the extreme. Another engineer stated that upon hearing of the report of the reduction of their wages he went to a;k whether there was any complaint of his work, and was told that there was not. One of the clerks, however, mentioned that he (wit ness) was picked out as not fit, although he had worked for the same concern for a period of seven months, on a former engagement, at the highest wages, which were then 365. per week. Twenty-two hands left the Company in the first week. He was to be reduced to 30s. a week, and he gave up the work in consequence. Alderman Witsow—Have any of the men remained? Wit ness—Yes. There are three now receiving 345. per week. Mr. Ball said that he had received his instructions by letter from the British Company, whose liberality was proverbial, and the reason their wages were reduced was that the men were really not worth the money they received. He had cau tioned them all not to go to Bristol if they were, not worth the full wages, as they would, if they proved deficient, most as suredly be reduced. Upon being put to the test they were found to be wanting, and then the managers had no alternative but to reduce or to dismiss. Alderman Wacsow said that he could not render any as sistance to the complainants, as they had no written contract; but he could not help saying that he considered them exceed ingly ill-treated, and ho hoped that at least their expenses to and from Bristol would be defrayed. The complainants said that the Company would find it rather difficult to get men in London to throw up their work on a future occasion and go down to Bristol. Mr. Ball declared that nothing could exceed the kindness and liberality of Mr. Morgan to the men employed by the Com pany, and that there was a most intolerable spirit of combination amongst those men. Alderman WILSON—I understand that some of the men who attend here to complain followed my advice, and summoned the agent to the Court c•f Requests for the amount of their passage to and from Bristol, and that they succeeded. Now I advised all the rest to do the like, and I have no doubt as to the result. A simple country girl, named Eliza Walker, was brought before the Lord Mayor by a good natured City policeman, named William Edmonds (No. 526), who saved her the night before from destruction. The policeman said that he observed the young woman, who appeared to be a stranger in London, in the neighbour hood of the Custom-house in conversation with a female whose exterior was not very prepossessing. Suspecting that all was not right he went up to the girl, and the woman took the op portunity to decamp upon observing that he was making some inquiry. The girl told him that she had just arrived in town from Lincolnshire, where her father was a farmer in a good line of business, and that as she and her step-mother could not agree she left her home in the bustle of the election, deter mined to go and seek her fortune in Australia. Witness asked her who the woman was to whom she had been speaking, and from her answer concluded that the former was one of those wretches who are ever on the look-out for inexperienced country girls with whom to make an iniquitous market. The girl said that the woman walked up to her and get into conversa tion with her, by advising her not to go too near the water, and showing other anxiety about her welfare. These questions were followed up by a request of the loan of five shillings, which, although all the money the poor young creature had was five and sixpence, she, without hesitation, parted with, so that all that remained to her was the sixpence. The wo man who had thus ingratiated herself in the good graces of the poor girl, endez.voured to prevail upon her to drink, took her in a boat over to one of the steam-vessels in the river, and in vited her into the cabin amongst the seamen, whom an instinc tive apprehension, however, induced her to avoid. The woman subsequently proposed to take her to a house where there would he a great deal of fiddling and dancing amongst sailors and other jolly fellows, but to that place also she was afraid to go. The Loan AIATOR asked tha girl what she proposed to do? —She replied that she had seen enough of London, and would go back to her father, if she had the means. The policeman stated that the girl, who appeared to be the mere child of simplicity, had told him in confidence that she had been born with something upon her face, and that she sup posed that she would one day make away with herself. He was alarmed at her defenceless condition, and resolved to take her to the station-house; and she wept bitterly at her de plorable lot. The LORD MAYOR said that the policeman had proved him self to be a young man of excellent feeling, and deserved the kind notice of the Commissioner, for the genuine humanity which he displayed. His Lordship then directed the policeman to pay for the poor girl's passage to Hull, and to supply her with the means of reaching het-father's house. (2 UEEiV-SQUARE. ASSAULT UPON THE POLlCE.—Francis Blaisden, an old blind man, was charged with being drunk ; and James 211•Carthy, his leader, a sturdy-looking youth, about 17 years of age, was charged with a most violent assault upon a policeman. Police Constable NI hitwell, 164 B, stated that about a quar ter to two o'clock that morning he was on duty in Westbourne street, Pimlico, when he saw the defendants lying in the middle of the road drunk. He went to endeavour to get them on to their legs, when M'Carthy hit him, and kicked him in such a manner as to entirely disable him : assistance, how ever, came up, and defendants were taken to the station-hou'e. The policeman added, that the injuries he bad received were so severe, that he had been obliged to be bled, and the surgeon had said it would he necessary to cup him on the ensuing day. The excuse of both defendants was that they were drunk. Mr. BURRELL fined the defendant M'Carthy 51., or two months' imprisonment, and the other defendant, ss. THAMES-OFFICE. Yesterday, William Colville, the chief mate of the ship Chieftain, now lying in the river, appeared before Mr. BAL LANTINE. to answer a charge of severely beating James Jepp, rated as ordinary seaman on board, who its-only 18 years old. Mr. Pelham appealed for the defendant. It appeared from the evidence of Jepp, that on the 28th of January last. when the ship was at Macao, he had been ashore with the captain, and on hit return in the boat belonging to the ship Scotland, with the master of that vessel, the defendant, and others, he was attacked with ill ness, which compelled him to run upon deck before the cap tain or any one else had ascended, and he ran straightway to the head of the vessel. The captain used some very gross language towards him, and called out to the mate. " Why don't you knock that d-d son a- overboard ? " The mate also abused him, and on the following morning, while he was washing the deck, he came towards him and said, " I have a crow to pick with you," and immediately struck him a violent blow with his clenched fist, which knocked him down. The mate then fell upon him and hit him three or four severe blows. Jepp got up, and the mate chased him. and seizing a 31-inch strap, or heel-lashing for the jibboom, beat him most dread fully with it over the head and body. The cLmplainant got away from him and was again pursued by the mate, who took up a billet of wood and struck him with that. Jepp sung out for mercy, and told the mate he must be a rascal to use any boy in such a manner. The mate then got the shank painter, and beat him on the back with that: The parties then strug gled and closed with each other, and the mate continuing to use the lad with great violence, he took up a marlin-spike and struck the mate on the head with it, by which he released himself. Robert Marquis, a seaman, who had kept a log of every thing that occurred, including, as he said, a geed deal of bad treatment from the captain, confirmed the statement of Jepp in every particular. In cross-examination he admitted that he had been fined 1/. 2s. 6d. for an assault on the captain in Swan River, and that he and all the hands had been in gaol. The captain complained that the crew were mutinous, and said he would resist payment of their wages; but he and all the crew had to complain of very bad treatment on the part of the captain. Mr. BALLANTINE said the mate had no right to beat the boy at all, and it appeared that he had used him with cruelty, first knocking him down with his fists, and then chasing him round the deck, striking him with a billet of wood, after wards with a rope, or anything else he could lay hands on. and if a man were beaten in that way, and driven into a corner, the law allowed him to resist it. The case must go before a Jury, and he would take the recognizances of the captain and mate in the sum of 20/. each, for the appearance of the latter at the next Sessions of the Central Criminal Court, there to abide his trial.

It appeared in evidence that the deceasedhadr - ,er , walk on Friday evening, attended by her femal e want, Having returned to her residence in Briw7 i fig; square, she took tea about nine o'clock, shordi,.ol which she complained of giddiness in her head, an . 7 14 09 no doubt have fallen to the ground but for the assis"" of a servant. She was removed into another roo m ' the unpleasant symptoms abated a little. At her ret o o medical aid was procured, and Mr. C. Shelton, su r b„ .o o of this city, promptly attended. At first be had nor` ,'711,1 to consider that the seizure would be attended fatal consequences, but the symptons increasing i tensity, he was induced to send for Dr. Ilasti"g l 'o4 fore whose arrival the young lady breathed he r i n g, about half-past ten o'clock on the same eveinole- Under all the circumstances the Coroner thought_ie to sirable that a post mortem examination should be In 7 d by ascertain the cause of death. This was perforlield thss Mr. H. D. Carden, by whose evidence it aPPe ttr ,i r aate congestion of the vessels of the brain was the P r t, it ls o cause of the melancholy catastrophe.
