Already is our prediction as to the downfal of the present system of courts-martial beginning to be verified. Commander PITMAN has been dismissed her MAJESTY'S service. That ignominious sentence, which was yesterday pronounced on the petty despot of the Childers—that sentence, which will rejoice the heart of every true man in these wide dominions—is the inevitable antecedent of the reversal of the unjust, because excessive, punishment recently inflicted upon Lieutenant GRAHAM and his companion. The dis grace and degradation of the person whose systematic cruelties, while wearing the uniform of the Royal Navy, drove two gallant and excellent officers to desert from actual desperation, form a glaring testi• mony of the want of some impartial and duly-qualified tribunal to adjudicate upon all such casualties. Here was a miserable tyrant casting a slur upon the noblest, because the most national, of all our noble and national professions—maltreating so bitterly those who had the misfortune to be subordinate to him in rank, that two or possibly three were goaded to the commission of suicide, and that two others were maddened so as actually to subside into a state of insanity—and yet while the infamy of these proceed ings is revolting the whole soul of England, and making the islands echo with the voice of popular indignation, two of ire victims of this little CALI GULA. of the Ocean are subjected to the additional harshness of an unmerited dismissal. Far are we from any inclination to number ourselves among the apologists of desertion, regarding, as we do, the crime of desertion to be one of the most heinous that can be committed by any one wearing the sword of fealty either in the military or the maritime profession. Yet this we are bold to aver, that extenuating facts are admissible in regard to the offence of desertion as in regard to any other infraction of codes moral or material, human or divine. And of all circumstances that could by any possibility be advanced in extenuation of the act of a deserter, none could be more fully entitled to consideration than those, the reality of which were yesterday determined at Plymouth. If this man was the ruthless and relentless persecutor he is declared to have been, especially during the period of his authority on board the Childers—if his brutality pro duced, as the fruits of his command, not subordi nation, or good seamanship, or a cordial and unanimous aachment, but insanity, suicide, and desertion — then was the otherwise culpable act of Lieutenant GRAIIAM not culpable, but justifiable, one migh t almost say commendable. For the generous and gallant heart of a J3ritish seaman, whether an officer or a man-before-the mast would naturally prefer any course rather than that of submission to the fury of an ignoble and vindictive temperament. 'With such tartars as this arch-tartar of the Childers commanding the war ships of her Britannic MAJESTY, it would have been scarcely possible for NAPOLEON, on the field of Austerlitz, to remark that this country could afford to lose the victor of Trafalgar, seeing that all the sailors of England were Nelsons. _ • So execrable, in our estimation, is the conduct of such wretched offenders as Commander PITMAN, that if such were rendered the alternative, we would rather have seen Lieutenant GRAHAM promoted to the rank of Commodore than dismissed the service, for an act in which he vindicated the independence of spirit most honourable in his profession. But Commander PITMAN has been dis missed the service ; and his name will hence forth be only borne in recollection as that of one who endeavoured to cast a slur upon a flag which had hitherto fluttered over the brave and the gentle, over officers and over gentlemen. It was the beautiful exclamation of the philanthropist HOWARD, when lying on his death• bed—" Bury me under the grass ; place a sundial over my grave ; and let me be forgotten." Happily for the human race, neither the deeds of the persecutor nor those of the benefactor are so speedily obliterated from remembrance . One memory is preserved as an example, the other as $ warning ! One as a noble prototype worthy of imita tion, the other as a detestable monstrosity, ca pable only of exciting abhorrence. Let the late Commander of the Childers find a bitter consolation in the knowledge that the horror excited by his cruelties is even now exercising a wholesome influence over the community. So far his otherwise pernicious career will prove in the end beneficial. Through the miseries of his victims the next generation will obtain a salutary exemption from excessive severity. And among the other advantages which will accrue from these hitherto baneful proceedings, will be one little intended by the man who has experienced that degradation and punishment which, in the estimation of all England, he has so sichly merited. The case—ae showing the extreme injustice of the recent treatment of Lieutenant GRAHAM and his comrade—will, as we have before intimated, conduce to the more rapid dis solution of what was already perishing ; we mean the existing system of courts-martial. Now that the Commander of the Childers has been abruptly and peremptorily dismissed the service, Mr. GRAHAM and his brother officer will necessarily, and as a matter of course, he reinstated. So far, a case in point will have been afforded to those who clamour for this reform in the general management of naval courts-martial. A n other and equally glaring exam ple, corroborative of the arguments advanced against the present system of conducting, military courts martial, has been afforded within the last few months by an instance of injustice so glaring and undeniable, that it has become already more notorious than any other court-martial petkaps upon record. Of course, we allude to the atrocious en tence pronounced by a supercilious and incompetent tribunal upon Captain GEORGE DOUGLAS, late of the 16th Regiment. The indignation ex pressed by all the organs of opinion which have yet broken silence upon the matter is something almost wholly unexampled. Journals advocating the opinions entertained by all political parties—every one of the organs of the law, and with these the several organs of the military and naval professions—all have coin cided in the opinion which we were the first to express publicly, namely, that if this officer has not been most cruelly ill-judged, then has no man ever groaned under ill-treatment since the subsidence of the Deluge or the dawn of Creation. Thanks, however, to that right noble sentiment which is harboured in the bosoms of our popular and hereditary representatives, the subject will at the very commencement of the next session be brought before a higher tribunal than that of either a naval or military court-martial, aye, before a higher tribunal than that of the Horse Guards or the Admi ralty, before the double tribunal of the two Houses of the Imperial Parliament. Then my Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty, then my Lord Duke the Commander-in-Chief, with all his congenial colleagues, will have to abide by the decision of those who are most competent in the wide realms of her Britannic MAJESTY'S dominions to decide what is in truth and in deed conduct becoming an officer and a gentleman. Of the result of this supreme investigation we have not one moment's doubt. We have not a doubt that a subject so plain and visible in its legality— a subject conducted, moreover, by the most formidable as well as the most brilliant members of the Lords and of the Commons—will receive that scrutiny which has be come requisite for the maintenance of the purity, the dignity, the nobility, the gallantry, and the elevated patriotism which are essential to, and have heretofore characterised, the leaders of our soldiers and of our sailors. Then will the existing system of courts martial not only be doomed, but destroyed—and in the abrogation of the present laws the national repu tation will be vindicated. There is a general and growing feeling throughout the country that no great or comprehensive legal re forms can be hoped for until the system of legislation is materially altered. This feeling h a s acquired ad ditional strength from the admirable letter of Lord B ROUG HAM to Sir JAMES GRAHAM, " on the making and digesting of the law," to which we have already referred. His Lordship has clearly and distinctly shown that there is a fundamental imperfection in our whole course of legislation, by which the most valuable and best digested measures are deprived of their efficacy and rendered comparatively useless, that leads to a looseness of language and contradiction of terms, which has so frequently been deplored by some of our most eminent judges, when compelled to frustrate the intentions of the Legislature by a too strict ad herence to the wording of new enactments. This imperfection is ascribable to defects in the machinery rather than in the principles of legis lation. The different statutes are the result of isolated and unconnected labours. The various measures are prepared by individual members or by parties connected with the Govern ment, but there is no communication between the framers of the several enactments. The " unity of design " that is so essential is completely wanting. One provision will be found to be perfectly incon sistent with another ; nay, portions of the very same clause or sentence will be conflicting. Each person has a particular object in view, and to attain that object everything else is disregarded. General prin ciples and former enactments are alike forgotten, and Bills are introduced in both Houses which, if suffered to pass in their original form, would occasion the utmost difficulty and confusion. But how could it be otherwise ? In every other science a long course of attentive study is considered necessary to qualify persons to form sound opinions, or to practise any art. But every man seems to con sider that he is born a legislator, competent to frame the most complicated enactments with the utmost facility. Under such circumstances grave mistakes in the drafting of Bills are looked upon as mere matters of course, that do not subject the introducers to any censure or reproach. There is, in fact, no responsibility anywhere. No individual or body can justly be called to account for any errors, however It is scarcely better after the contemplated measure is brought before Parliament. Alterations will be made in both Houses without the slightest reference to the remainder of the Bill—new matter will be in troduced wholly at variance with former clauses, which are suffered to remain unchanged notwithstand ing subsequent so-called amendments. The sim plest rules are disregarded—the same words are used in different senses, the same points enacted in lifferent language. This laxity of expression neces sarily exposes the judicial interpreters of the law to the greatest embarrassment and difficulty, and occasions a vast quantity of expensive litigation, unnecessarily consuming the public time, and abso lutely ruinous to the parties engaged therein. But all this mischief results from the want of co-opera tion and communication between the legislators by whom the various Acts are framed and carried through Parliament. The country has dis covered to its cost the heavy expenditure to which it has been subjected in consequence of a similar want of co-operation between the designers of our steam-vessels and of the machinery by which these vessels are to be worked. The loss there is easily to be ascertained—the pounds, shillings, and pence that have been absolutely wasted form heavy items in the national balance sheet. But the losses not only to the national Exchequer but to pri vate individuals, the consequences of grave defects, by which criminals escape the punishment due to their crimes, and the grossest injustice is perpetrated under the name of law, can never be sufficiently appre ciated. They are of infinitely greater importance than any merely pecuniary considerations or any public outlay, however enormous and unavailing. We have already alluded to the mode in which Lord BROUGHAM proposes to improve the system of legislation—viz., by the " appointment of a board or court of five members, irremovable without address of both Houses, to which either House might refer any Bill, and whose opinion might be taken upon the draft of any Bill before its introduction." This would undoubtedly be a great amelioration, which would remove the chief objections : this board would, we suppose, consist of Members of both Houses, and be framed in accordance with the plan (alluded to in the postscript of Lord BROUGHAM'S letter) originally pro pounded in 1834, for the " appointment of a joint Committee of the two Houses, five Lords and seven Commons, sitting under a judge, examining the whole disputed facts of a Bill, and returning a verdict to be binding, in point of fact, on both Houses." The mutual jealousy, however of the here ditary and representative legislators prevented this admirable suggestion from being carried into execu tion. Neither would consent to abandon any portion of their independent action, although they had several competent representatives on the General Committee. Most sincerely do we hope that this absurd distrust may terminate, and that a proposition may be adopted which would secure the most valuable results without in any degree trenching on the recognized privileges of either House. The Emperor of Russu is so overjoyed by— the triumph of his arms we cannot call it—the result of his intervention in Hungary, that he can hardly find adequate means to give vent to his satisfaction. To hear of the honours he has decreed to Prince PASKEWITCII, and to read his proclamations to the army, it might reasonably be imagined that a new Pultowa had covered the Russian arms with glory, or that another French host had retreated from the flames of Moscow. " My children," writes this most fraternal EMPEROR, " GOD has vouchsafed to bless your zeal, your manly bravery, and your un tiring perseverance amidst the greatest difficulties." 'low complimentary is this to the Hungarians, if literally understood. The small forces of a weak and struggling state were enabled to present the "greatest difficulties" to the invading hosts of Russia and Austria combined, so much so that, notwithstanding the "manly bravery" so conspicuously displayed by the valiant troops, it was rot until bribery had come to the assistance of bravery, on the one hand, and treachery had undermined the difficulties, on the other, that the victory (?), the cause of so much gra tulation, was achieved. " My children," continues the EMPEROR, " you did your duty, and the insurrection is quelled." Then, after a triumphant allusion to the fact of the enemy having surrendered to Russia alone a side-thrust at the dearly beloved Austrian ally the proclamation con cludes with the following passionate outburst : " Honour and glory to you! Honour and glory to your victorious leader ! You have again, as you always do, proved yourselves worthy of the name of the victorious army of all the Russias. My thanks to all and each of you! I am satisfied with you ! ! I am proud of you! ! !" Having thus exhausted all the eulogistic epithets at his command, the EMPEROR affixes his imperial signa ture to the document. They say that a royal speech is generally remarkable for its small amount of truth fulness ; but rarely, if ever, has a royal or imperial discourse or document equalled in the absurdity of its untruthfulness the last proclamation of NICHOLAS. It is, in fact, a sarcasm more cutting than any oppo nent could have contrived upon the result of the Hungarian campaign. If the valour of the Russian arms alone had really and indeed effected the subju gation of Hungary, however much we might lament the catastrophe, we could pardon the self-gratulations of the victors; but, as it is!—as it is ! when we know that other influences than the sword and the bayonet have thinned the patriot ranks, the boastful exultation of the EMPEROR, appears positively ridiculous. The conduct of the absolute Prince has recently been sufficiently characterised by its audacity and unrea ionableness, but this last act gives it the finishing touch. To congratulate soldiers on the " manly bravery " exhibited in an enterprise achieved by cor ruption and treachery ! DELAY OF THE FOREIGN MAILS. In consequence of the stormy weather which pre vailed last night throughout the channel, our Paris journals and other foreign intelligence have been unexpectedly delayed. This must account for the meagre and abreviated character of the subjoined in formation relating to the countries of the European Continent. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. Very shortly before going to press we received the Paris journals of yesterday. Consequently, our glean. ings from their contents must be unusually brief, be cause unusually rapid and cursory. At the Council held on Tuesday, where it was de cided that there was no necessity for an early convo cation of the Assembly, the Ministers prevailed on the PRESIDENT to abandon his intention of returning to St. Cloud, where he has been for some time re-' siding. As to the prospect of the Empire in lieu of the Republic, the following paragraph will show what are the feelings of M. TUIERS " The President," says the Constitutionnel, " was re ceived at Fontainbleau with demonstrations, if possible, more warm. Not only cries of Vive l'Empereur,' were heard, but cries of Vive la Famille Imperiale.' Fon tainbleau is, in fact, full of Imperial souvenirs. Everybody knows how Napoleon loved this place. To him the Chateau owes its principal em• bellishments. It was there he took refuge after his defeat; there may be seen the table on which he signed his abdication; there the flight of steps from which he bade adieu to his old soldiers. The acclama tions which followed tho President proved that the in habitants of Fontainbleau possess heart and memory, and that they envelope the uncle and the nephew in the same sentiments of gratitude and respect." It was currently reported that the French Govern • ment had addressed a most determined note to the Camarilla at Gaeta. The Commission of Cardinals had threatened to quit Rome, and it was even said that Cardinal ALTIERI had left. Seven Socialists, who were arrested on Monday, the 27th ult., at an eating-house established by the Association of Cooks, were released from confinement on Tuesday. La Patric confirms the report of the nomination of General RANDOM to the command of the army in Rome. An absurd report that an offer of mediation had been made to the POPE by the Russian EMPEROR was afloat in Paris, but contradicted. The Three Or Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Wednesday at 55g.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. Peterwardein is said to have yielded. General SANDAR, at the head of 15,000 men and 36 guns, has surrendered in Transylvania. The rumour is still prevalent that FRANCIS JOSEPH is about to espouse a Princess of Saxony. The General of the cavalry, PUCHNER, has been appointed second captain of the Imperial body-guard, as a mark of acknowledgment for his services in Transylvania. PRUSSIA. News from Berlin is to the 10th instant. The KING had returned from Toplitz, where he had paid a visit to the Emperor of -AUSTRIA. The KING was not accompanied during his journey by any of the Ministers. Letters from Leipsic stated there was every pros pect of the great fair being a good one, from the early influx of purchasers from foreign countries. THE HAGUE. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Sweden paid a farewell visit to their MAJESTIES, and also to Prince FREDERICK, on the 11th instant. His Royal Highness afterwards left the Hague for Rotterdam; thence he will proceed to Antwerp, and go, by steamer, to Stockholm. His Royal Highness ex. pressed himself greatly delighted with his visit to the Hague. The French Minister for the Home Department has arrived here, and has had a long conference with our Minister for Foreign Affairs. Sir M. SHEE, the English Ambassador at the Court of Sweden, has also arrived here. We hear that his MAJESTY has given orders for the establishment of a free school at Harderwyk, in Guelderland on the Zuyder Zee, for the board and instruction of young men, who are to be trained as sub officers in the Indian service. No youth will be allowed to sail for India who has not served two years as a subaltern at Harderwyk, and given evidence of his ability. Th e subalterns who shall be placed in this school, and leave it for India, shall continue their studies there, and after two years shall be appointed to the rank of officers. Thus every youth who is admitted into the institution at Harderwyk will have the privilege of entering the East India service as officer within four years.—Dutch Papers, Sept. 12. SWITZERLAND. Letters from Basle, of the 7th instant, state that the cholera has broken out in that town, and that the old system of the quarantine is revived to prevent the disease from spreading. RUSSIA. Official advices from Warsaw, of the 4th, announce the capitulation of the fort Munkacs to the Russians. 'this occurred on the 27th of August. The garrison surrendered at discretion to Lieutenant-General KARLOWITZ : 32 officers and 329 soldiers of the 91st Honved battalion have laid dowk their arms. In the castle were found 21 pi eces of annon, 520 muskets, ammunition, and stores of provender. ITALY. According to a later from Bologna, the Italian officers had broken their swords rather than sur render them. Thee Swiss alone had given up their arms. The Arazionale of Turin states from Rome, 31 inst., that a rumour was current of matters having been amicably tettled between Gaeta, Rome, and Paris. A Consulta, a lay Ministry, and lay func tionaries in the chief offices of the State, had been consented to, with a reserve respecting the latter in favour of any prelate having the requisite qualities. A general amnesty, excepting only the members of the Constituent Assembly, the Triumvirs, the chiefs of clubs, all prefects, several other chief, &c., had also been agreed upon. The army was to be in creased to 24,000 men. _ _ A letter from Chioggia of the sth inst. announces, that a solemn mass was celebrated there to return thanks to the ALMIGHTY for having put an end to the calamities which oppressed Venice; the Bishop FEOETTI officiated. A letter from Florence of the sth inst. states that the Austrian army is to continue to occupy TuEcany for a long time to come. A contract has been con cluded for supplying the Imperial troops Nt it h beds and blankets. I'he writer adds, that a severe law regulating the press is being prepared by the Govern ment. THE WEST INDIES. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY MORNING —The Royal Mail Steam-packet Company's ship Reindeer, Captain Onslow, arrived here this morning from the West Indies, vid St. Thomas, Bermuda, and Fayal. She brings no mails, passengers, cargo, or specie, and no later intelligence of importance than that received by the Dee. On the 24th of August the Reindeer spoke the French barque Prosper, from Porto Rico to Fal mouth ; on the 31st the Lancashire Witch ; and on the 11th passed the Bangalore in distress, with loss of rudder. _ _ The Royal Mail steamer Severn, with the mans of the 2d of August, arrived at Bermuda on the 18th ult., akid proceeded to the Gulf of Mexico. THE CHOLERA. FORM OF PRAYER. The following is a Special Form of Prayer to be used in all churches and chapels throughout those parts of the United Kingdom ca ll e d E ng l an d an d Ireland, instead of the Prayer used during any time of common plague;or sickness, on Sunday, the 16th of September; and to be continued during the pre valence of the Cholera in this country ; for obtaining pardon of our sins ; and, particularly, for beseeching God to remove from us that grievous disease with which many places in this kingdom are now visited : " 0 Almighty God and Father, whose power no creature is able to resist, and in whose hand are the issues of life and death : look down, we beseech thee, from Heaven, thy dwelling-place, upon us thine un worthy servants, who turn to thee, their only refuge, in this season of sickness and great mortality. 'We confess, 0 Lord, that we have not deserved to be free from that visitation of thy wrath, which has afflicted other nations of the earth. 'We acknowledge with shame and contrition that we have shown ourselves unthankful for many special mercies vouchsafed to us, and have not made that return fur our national bles sings, which thou mighest justly require at our hands. We have departed from thy commandments ; we have followed . too much the things of this present world; and in our prosperity we have not sufficiently honoured Thee, the Author and Giver of it all. If thou wert to deal with us after our sins, or reward us accord ing to our iniquities, we could not stand in Thy sight. " But Thou bast revealed Thyself unto us as a God of mercy and forgiveness, 'towards those who confess their unworthiness, and turn to Thee in repentance and prayer. When Israel had provoked Thee to wrath, an d th ousan d s f e ll by th e d es t ro yi ng pestilence, Thou didst stay the sword of the avenging angel, when the purpose of Thy judgment was fulfilled. When the men of Nineveh repented of their iniquity, thou didst lay aside the fierceness of thine anger, and sparedst the guilty city, when thou sawest that they turned from their evil way. " And now, 0 Lord, we entreat thee after thy rich mercy to grant unto us thine afflicted servants the like spirit of repent ance , th a t th ou mayest withdraw thy chastisements from our land, and stay the plague and grievous sickness which is abroad, making many deso• late. May th e j u d gments w hi c h th ou h as sen t, w o r k in us a more lively faith, a more entire obedience, a more earnest endeavour to confcrm to thy will, and to advance thy glory. Make us duly sensible of thy goodness, in maintaining the domestic tranquillity of our land, in preserving us from intestine commotions, and in granting a plentiful return to the labours of our husbandmen. Teach us to show our thankfulness for these mercies, by an increasing desire to relieve distress, to remove all occasions of discontent and murmurings, and to promote goodwill and concord amongst our selves. And may the frequent instances of mortality which we have beheld, remind us all of the nearness of death, and dispose us so to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom ; that, whether living or dying, we may be found faithful disciples of Him who has taken away the sting of death, and opened the gate of everlasting life to all believers. " Hear us, 0 Lord, for Thy . goodness is great ; and according to the multitude of Thy mercies receive these our petitions, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCIIELL.) HARRISON V. MARRIOTT. This was an action to recover the sum of 181. 15s. 6d. for board, lodging, &c., of defendant's brother. George Harrison, the father of the plaintiff, was called arid proved that defendant's brother boarded and lodged with plaintiff, for which 15s. per week was charged. Letters were put in showing that the defendant wished plaintiff to take his brother to teach him the trade of a cooper, but nothing was arranged as to the apprentice ship, as the brother was 17 years of age. A verdict as given for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. THE BRITISH EMPIRE MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE CON PANY V. PELLEY AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs to recover certain instalments due on an annuity deed granted by defendant, Pelley, andfor,which the other bankrupts had become security. There was a further claire as damages for breach of contract in not keeping up a policy on the life of Peliey. Mr. Guyer, the actuary of' the company, was called, and proved that defendant Pelley granted the annuity to the company for money advanced, and that the two other defendants became security for the payment of the instalments, and the premium on a policy of insurance effe-cted by Pelley for 200/. The instalments due on the annuity amount to 81. 155., and the damages through allowing the policy to lapse were estimated at 211. 6s. 41. The UNDER SHERIFF asked what would have been the net profit to the company. Mr. Gover said they calculated on an average of lives and deaths extending over the eight years for which the assurance was effected, and the calculation was on the profits of the premiums, and that was the sum he stated. The UNDER-SHERIFF—But if he (Pelley) had died the company would have been the losers. Mr. Gover—Certainly, they would have had to pay 2001. The plaintiff's ATTORNEY said that they had lost their security by the premium not being paid and the insurance lapsing. The UNDER SHERIFF said that there could be no doubt as to the instalment on the annuity, but the amount of damage was a question for the jury. After a short consultation the jury gave a verdict for the full amount claimed. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Be fore Mr. WITHAM, Chairman.) Martha Martin was indicted for stealing a 51. note and two sovereigns of James Langley. The prosecutor, a seafaring man, bad gone abroad with his ship since the prisoner was committed, and was still absent, and the evidence against the prisoner was that of one of the servants in a lodging-house in Stepney, where the alleged robbery took place. She stated that on the 31st of August, Mr. Langley was asleep in a chair in the kitchen, having been drinking the night before, when the prisoner put her hands into his breast pocket, and took out of it a note-case, which she opened and extracted the .51. note, and also took the two sovereigns from another pocket. She then went out, and the wit ness awoke the prosecutor, and informed him of what had occurred. i The prisoner's defence was that the prosecution was nstigated by " Black Bet" through spite, because she (the prisoner) would not divide the money with her. Mr. Langley had desired her to take the money, for the service she had rendered him in the t o days previous, in going round with him to several places in London and Greenwich. Ile had give her two sovereigns, and told her to take the note out of his pocket-book. The Learned CHAIRMAN thought that in the absence of the prosecutor it would scarcely be safe to convict the prisoner upon'the unsupported evidence of the other woman, as there might be some truth in the prisoner's statement. The jury accordingly acquitted her. SURREY SESSIONS.—(THIS DAY.) (Before T. PUCKLE, Esq., and a Bench of Magistrates.) ROBBERY BY A PROSTITUTE.—Ann Smith, a good looking young girl, was indicted for stealing the sum of 41., from the parson of Henry Noakes, in St. George's, Southwark. The prosecutordeposed that he was a market-gardener, residing at Croydon, and on the 24th of August he came to the Borough-market, to dispose of some property. In the evening he enjoyed a few hours with some friends, and at ten o'clock left them to go home. When he got to the railway station he found the last train gone, and he was about to return to his friend's house when he met the prisoner. She asked him to treat her with some brandy, and he accompanied her to the White Hart public-house. While in her company he suddenly fell asleep, and on his waking up he discovered that the prisoner had decamped with all his money except a few shillie P- lie made inquiries of the landlady of the house, and ascertained that she ran out of the house an hour after they entered. Information was given to the police, and it was found that the prisoner Lad changed two sovereigns on the day after the robbery, and that she had exhibited two others. In defence the prisoner said the prosecutor was drunk, and had bee❑ with other women prior to his going with her. Verdict, Guilty. Sentence, twelve months at Brixton. THE WEATHE R IN BIRMINGITAIII. — WEDNESDAY EVENlNG.—Yest e rd a y it commenced raining, and has continued with out intermission, but without any injurious effects upon the health of the town. We find so many deaths returned in the London list from diarrhce.t in Birmingham, but we cannot hear who they are that have been carried off. The surgeons and physicians generally do not know of any such mortality. MONEY arni COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. Tho sal=t of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about 5,000 bales, including 4,000 American and 300 Pernam t.nd Yarnham, at 51d. to ad.; 100 Bahia at ad. to 5P.; 200 Eg:,i,tian at Gel. to 7, d.; 250 Surate at 4d. to 4: 1 1d.; and 100 Sea Island at 10id. to is. 2d. per lb. The itkports since Friday last were 10,000 bales. The market closed tamely, and in prices there was but little change.— ItAilway shares WE ra dull, and generally at lower prices. The official returns of the sales of grain made in the markets which regulate the duties show a slight in crease. We are still without any news of the Hibernia steamer, from the United States, land much interest is felt for her arrival. The reports of the different stock markets abroad have been received in due course. At Berlin, on the 10th instant, the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds were quo ted 87k. The market was rather unsteady, and foreign securitits were heavy. At Frankfort, cn the 10th instant, there was a moderate demand for the Metallics at 88i. The Amsterdam market was very firm, though not animated, and the Two and a-Half per Cent. Dutch Stock was quoted 54. The shares of the Society of Commerce were still in great favour, and Peruvian and Austrian Bonds were in demand. The Funds at Paris declined yesterday morning, but rallied afterwards, and left off at 88f. 40e. for the Five per Cents., and at 55f. 50c. fur the Three per Cents. At Vienna on the Bth inst. the Me tallies were 98k. Accounts from Venice give a desponding statement of the condition of that town. Its marine school is to be removed, and also the chief military command of •the district will be taken to Trieste, but the naval com mand-in-chief is to be left. Since the termination of hostilities, no less than 50,000 passports are said to have been granted. We may take the opportunity, now the approach of the winter season reminds us of the icy chain which will cut off the navigation of the St. Lawrence, to advert again to the many advantages of a railway through British America, and although unfortunately the exist ing political excitement will operate as a check upon the carrying out of such an undertaking, it must ere long be executed, The official investiga tion upon this subject has proved that a railway from Shediac to the Port of St. John, which is open at all seasons of the year, would enable the various products of the, fisheries to reach a port of ship. ment in four hours, and the necessity for the long voyage around Nova Scotia would be obviated. The fishing vessels could winter at any of the ports on the Gulf shore which they found most convenient; their stores and outfit could be sent up by railway, and they would, in such case, enjoy the advantage of being on the fishing grounds at the earliest moment in spring, and the tiaharman could protract his labours until the winter again had fairly set in. The fresh salmon packed in ice which were sent last season from St. John's to Boston by the steamers, owing to the facilities of transport in the United States, in two days after they left St. John's, apps aced at table in prime condition at Albany, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, New York, and Philadelphia. If the salmon of the northern rivers could be transported by railway to St. John's, they would find a ready market in the Numerous towns and villages of the United States, and the salmon fisheries alone would prove a perfect mine of wealth to the northern part of the province. Aided by railways the fisheries of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, now of so little importance, and such limited value, would take rank as one of the highest privileges of New Brunswick, its unfailing source t of wealth for ever hereafter. And while the efforts of the people were successfully directed towards securing these bounties of Providence, lavished with such unsparing hand, they would rejoice in the goodness of an all-wise Creator. The French exercise an almost exclusive right of fish ing upon the western coast of Newfoundland, the ferti lity and great mineral wealth of which have only recently become known, and are not yet fully appreciated. From seven hundred to eight hundred sail of American fishing vessels enter the Gulf of Saint L.iwrenco annually, and scattering over the whole of its wide extent, with little heed of the limitts to which they are restricted by treaty, pursue their business unmelested, and but rarely leave their stations without full and valuable fares. There has been a very flat market for Public Securities this morning, and yet it is difficult to assign any new and special cause beyond the heavy tone of the Paris Bourse, and the fact that the Consul account has been arranged, and the Bulls having lost money, are in disposed just now to renew operations. Many have left town, others look with apprehension to foreign loans, a Neapolitan contract having been already taken, as is said, and the prospect of greater activity in trade induces the belief in some quarters that the Funds will rule very little above, if not under, the current prices for some time to come. We can scarcely form a conclusion at present, and may more reasonably await the dividend payments. Consols have been 921 t, and are now 92,1 1 for Transfer, while time bargains have beea effected at 92-a and since at 921 The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. have been 93:1 to 94.

Railway Shares are all worse again,'the old and new lines being equally affected. Caledonian, North- Western, Llidland, Great Western, and South- Eastern, are decidedly lower.
