AVMS I AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Vienna paper Lloyd has the following account of the late capital executions at Pesth " The tranquillity a nd the discontinuance of execu tions on the Holaplatz (the Tyburn of :Pesth) has already had its effects. Most people believed that justice would not in future stride over corpses, but that it would walk on the paths of forgiveness and grwee. Bat on a sudden a xamour was spread in the town of the executions which were to take place to-day (20th instant). This rumour found little credit, for people would not—nay they could not—be lieve it. But this morning, at six o'clock, a troop of horse, with bared swords, mgde its appearance in the Holzplatz, thus effectually dispelling all doubts as to the intentions of the military authorities. Shortly afterwards a battalion of foot appeared and formed a square, into the interior of which they led the men who were about to suffer death. The drums were beaten. Their hollow sound caused our hearts to quake. After the roll ofdrume the sentences were read. The reading was long, very long, and justly so, for the documents were neither more nor less than passports to eternity . At length the first or the victims was led forward. He mounted the scaffold. He was a handsome young man, of 25 years of age. I was informed that he had awaited his death with the fortitude of a martyr. When I saw him he was pale and cast down. It was the manner of his death, it was the execution by the cord, which drove the iron into Prince Woroniecki's soul. This young man was an Austrian officer when the Hungarian war commenced. He left the Em peror's service, and founded a Polish legion, of which he became the commander. Haynau's troops captured him at zureg, near Szegedin. " The second victim was M. Abanceurt, who, after the Polieh movement, had been condemned to 20 yens' imprisonment, and who joined the Hungarian insurrection, acting as adjutant of General Dembin ski. He was more collected than the Prince, and in deed he was able to address a few words to the public. The third and last sufferer was Giron ; he leaves three children behind him. He commanded the German Legion, assisted in the storming of Buda, and so great were his military latenti - and his zeal, that he was said to be appointed to the command of the garrison of Comorn. He was cap tured at Petetwardein. The dreadful scene closed with a prayer, in which the soldiers and the public joined." Letters from Hamburgh of the 26th inst. state that General Klapka intended on that day to leave Hamburgh for London. Respecting the late rumours of large sums of money which General Klapka is stated to have taken from Hungary we find the fol lowing protest in the Hamburgh papers : " The Deutsche Reform, of the 25th inst., publishes the following news from the Constitutionelle corre spondent:— " The fugitives from Hungary have not, it seems, entered on their expedition to America without funds. General Klapka has negotiated the sum of 200,000 dollars in this place (Berlin), and obtained bills of exchange on London for the same. " As this statement seems calculated to throw a suspicion on what I did in Hungary, I think I owe it to my own honour, and to that of my comrades in arms and exile, to publish a peremptory and unquali fied contradiction of the said statement. I and my comrades have scarcely saved enough to provide for the next few months. I was not moreover in Berlin in a condition to do as I liked, for it is notorious that during my short stay there I was attended and watched by a commissioner of the police. " KLAPKA.' The Journal de St. Petersburgh of the 18th of October states that Fuad Effendi had a private audience of the Emperor on the 16th, and was received in a manner due to his rank and the friendly relations existing between the two Sovereigns. The circumstances connected with his mission (the journal says) have given rise in the newspapers to the most extravagant rumours. Far from imply ing the refusal of the Imperial demands founded on the treaty of Kutschuk Kaimarje, with respect to the Polish rebels implicated in the Hungarian revolution, and who have sought a refuge in Turkey, his mission is prompted only by the wish of the Sultan to understand, in an amicable way, and without foreign interference, direct from the Emperor, the interpretation to be put upon the article of that treaty applicable on the indi viduals referred to. This direct application of an in timate ally to the friendly sentiments of the Emperor could not fail to be listened to, and the distinguished reception with which his Majesty has honoured the Ottoman representative does away with every false report. and justifies the hope that this affair will soon be settled to the mutual satisfaction of the two Courts. AUSTRIA. (From the Hull Advertiser.) The Empesor of Austria hasjust conferred the com mand of one of his women-flogging regiments of Dragoons upon his Imperial Protector, the Emperor of Russia. We find no fault with the Imperial regulation. Both the commander and the commanded are worthy of each other. Nicholas has occa sionally base as well as bloody work to do, and the butchers in cold blood of the brave Hungarians are just the men to undertake it. We would not venture to say that the men who assisted in butchering Count Louis Batthyany and the thirteen Hungarian Generals, who were murdered at the same time, under circumstances equally atrocious, would refuse to execute a similar sentence upon Francis Joseph, if ratified by their new Colonel, the Czar. There was a time, and that not far dis tant, when Austria was regarded as the natural ally of England; and when the English people listened with pride to the report of the occurrence of any diplomatic event which served to draw closer the bonds of friendship between the Cabinets of London and Vienna. But that time has passed away never to return. The atrocities of old Radetzky in Italy, and Haynau in Hungary— and the countenance given to the latter monster of treachery and cruelty by the Austrian Cabinet— have rendered Austria infamous in the eyes of civi lized Europe. There is not a liberal-minded man in the British dominions who does not regard the Go vernment of Austria with the deepest abhorrence. Indeed, so strong and so general is that sentiment, that we believe the rejoicing would be public were it an nounced the Emperor was a fugitive, and the Hunga riAns masters of every rood of Austria Proper. To the present rulers of Vienna this may appear an in different matter, but it is in reality far otherwise. The esteem and cnnfldence of the English people was a possession worth making many sacrifices to preserve and retain. It was only the fashion to regard Aus tria as our natural ally, just as France was looked upon as our natural enemy. But the atrocities recently committed by the Court of Vienna—and the proofs it has afforded us of the folly of trueting to the faith of monarchs —have extinguished in British breasts all sentiments but those of abhorrence for the perpetrators of such crimes. "Put not your trust in Princes," is a lesson which Austria has taught to the people of Europe. France, in the bloodiest days of her first Revolution, did not exceed the crimes committed by Austria within the last three months, without even the poor excuse of a political necessity. With all their reputed violence, revolutionists are less sanguinary and less faithless than the wearers of imperial crovs. Already men are beginning to have less dread of revolutions than of restorations. This will bell against monarchs in the long run. Hungary will not always have the armies of fhe Czar to encounter ; and if she take the field a second time, the slaughter of Count Louis Batthyany, and the thirteen Generals who fought under her banner, will not be forgotten by that fiercely warlike people. For our own part, we are not sorry that we bile got rid of the Austrian Alli ance, so far as that Alliance partook of the quality of a national sentiment. We are happily rid of Han over, and therefore no longer mixed up with the petty politics of German Principalities. The progress of steam by land and water has further served to destroy those old geographical positions, a regard to the maintenance of which was judged essential in the reign of Anne and the two first of the Georges, to the preservation of what was then called the "Ba lance of Power" in Europe. With the increase of railways and the abolition of the passport system on the Continent, very different alliances will be formed from those of which such volu minous records are kept in the cabinets of Foreign Ministers. Austria, by her corruptions and her crimes, has for ever separated herself from all kindly intercourse %S ith the Parliament and the people of this country. Under the Upas shade of Russian protection she breathes a poisoned atmosphere, within the deadly influence of which liberty cannot live, nor learning flourish, nor the arts develope their civilizing sway over the minds of a naturally humane and docile people. The Russian Alliance will eventually prove the bane of Austria. WET DOCKS-ALTERATION OF THE CORK AND PASSAGE RAILWAY. We are happy to p erceive that the nec essity for Wet Docks fa Cork, has bean thoroughly impressed upon the mind of the public; and that the Har bour Board, and the several railway companies, or their directors, have give n their serious attention to the furtherance of a measure of such practical utility, and such paramount importance to a sea port city which is so admirably circumstanced for trade and commerce, but which nevertheless, and in spite of its great natural advantages, cannot allow any odds to its enterprising and competitors. That Wet Docks will ere long fished in Cork, and in the very best situations, lnot be a rational doubt. It is now under .t two docks are decided on—one on the north Le river, and in immediate connexion with inus of the main trunk railway of Ireland, Southern and Western; the other, on the a of the river, in the Monerea Marsh, and in connexion with the Cork and Bandon Railway, and, we trust, the Cork, Blackrock, and Passage line. The importance of connecting floating docks with the termini of lines of railway in a country which im mensely exports and largely imports, must be obvious to the most superficial observer, and needs no words of ours to render it clear to a demonstration. The vessels in the Northern Dock would receive the enormous argricul tural produce of the many counties through which the Southern portion of Ireland's great trunk line runs, and land upon its trucks and waggons the various articles of foreign import destined for the consumption of those same counties ; while, on the other side, the Southern Dock would be of equal service to the far-lying west of the great county of Cork, whose vast resources must receive a new impetus from the completion of that important line of railway, the Cork and Bandon, which, we fully believe, is destined to effect immense benefit to the agricultural interests of the line of country through which it actually passes, and by which it will be fed. Speaking of the usefulness of the connexion of railway termini with floating docks, brings us to the consideration of a matter of very deep interest to the shareholders of the Cork, Blackrock, and Passage 'railway, and of no small interest to the public of this city—namely, the unfortunate distance of the present terminus from the heart of the city, and the absolute necessity for such a change as would render the line more available to the public, and less expen sive to its proprietary. The present terminus is at the east side of the Victoria-road, which is a distance of half a mile from Patrick street, and proportionately more distant from remoter parts of the city. To a short line, an inconvenient terminus, or one removed so far from the very centre of its traffic, would be positively ruinous, besides being most inconvenient to the public, for whose use and advantage all lines of communication are sup posed to be taken, in the first instance. The east end of the Southern Do ck will bound one side of the Victoria-road, or nearly so, while the terminus of the railway would bound the other side of the same road. Between. both, or nearly so, the entrance into the dock should be made; and even though two bridges were placed across this gut, or passage, annoyance and incon venience must necessarily ensue ,to the railway com pany and their passengers. And supposing the ne cessities of the shipping trade were such that an ex tension of the Southern Dock, in the Park, were de sirable or imperative, it would be almost hopeless to imagine that the one entrance into the two docks, or double dock, would be sufficient. The means of ob viating all this annoyance would be, to alter the pre sent line of the Cork, Blackrock, and Passage Rail way, by removing it over to the other side—the Blackrock side—of the Park, and, taking it back of the Gas Works, joining it with the Cork and Bandon line, which has its terminus near Anglesea Bridge, and in a most important part of the city. By this alteration and junction, a convenient and easily accessible terminus could be had, and the busi ness of the two companies, whose interests ought not, and are not, in the least opposed, could be worked by one staff. In fact, the Cork and Passage line would be a valuable feeder to the Cork and Bandon, and the Cork and Bandon of amazing benefit to the smaller line. The present terminus of the river line cannot answer ; its distance from the centre of the city would defeat the main object of its projectors, and the con templated advantage to the public, which is, quick transit between this city and Passage. Much time would be lost in getting to the railway, which no after expedition on the railway could by possibility make good. We are fully aware that intense jealousy did exist, and very naturally exist, between the one com pany and the other, for a long time; but we are delighted to know that such a feeling has entirely , died away, and given place to one of cordial in terest, and mutual good-will. Each directory can boast of men of intellect and sense ; and men who are likely to combine their strength for a mutually beneficial object, which the junction of the lines, and an amalgamation of their interests, would un doubtedly be. It would clearly be for the advantage of both that their expenses of working should be as small as possible ; and this happy result could be effected by a common terminus and a single staff. The matter, as we understand, is now engaging the serious consideration of the directors of both com panies, who are about to be put in possession of all the necessary details by Mr. Benson, an engineer of well-known ability and judgment.—Cork Examiner. so fortunate as to fall in with such a one while on the threshold of their investigations, it would have saved them much trouble, as well as have given them increased confidence in their system of philosophy. Only two or three simple experiments of a clair voyante kind were tried. They were the first we ever saw which succeeded, and, though not so strange as some which have been published, they are worthy of being stated. A watch was presented with the back towards her, and the dial-plate completely hidden, and she told the hour to a second. Five minutes after wards the watch was presented in the same way, and the same answer was given. Of course, we expected that the patient was wrong this time, but no, the watch, as soon as she had first taken it into her hands, had stopped, and the fingers pointed to half past twelve, just as they did before. We thought the watch had not been wound up, but found that it had been so, and that its stoppage must have been caused in some other way. Not expecting much from the request, we asked the patient to be kind enough to mend the watch and set it going, that we might know how the time was getting on, when she took it, removed the scales, applied the key as if to wind it up, and immediately tick, tick, tick went the watch 'again and has continued to do so up till the time we write. She was next asked to look at the Dumfries town clock, which was at least half a mile distant, and, we need scarcely say, totally out of sight to the bodily eye, and to tell the difference between the time as shown by it and by the watch, and, after looking for a moment in the proper direc tion, her reply was that the watch was five minutes slow, which must have been true, for three hours before they agreed, but as the latter hal stopped five minutes, it must have been to that extent behind. The patient was taken out of her strange sleep in the usual way, quite unconscious of the glimpse of the spirit world she had obtained herself, and the gleams of its glory she had radiated on the unsalved eyes of others. A GLIMPSE of the SPIRIT WORLD. (From the Dumfries Standard.) If animal magnetism and its cognate wonders be realities and not idle dreams, they afford strong de monstrative evidence of the existence of a power purely spiritual, which operates independently of, or at least dominant over, the earthly tabernacle in which it is enshrined. We have been privileged to witness extraordinary exhibitions of this nature which excited in our minds wonder, delight, and deep solemnity; and we cannot at all sympathise with those who talk lightly of such subjects, or who would sum marily dismiss the overpowering evidence which demands for them a place in the recognised phenomena of mind. The things which we have recently seen and heard in connexion with mesmerism are, we believe, in some respects peculiar, though they only form a part of that wonderful world which it opens up, and which every one almost has had an opportunity of more or less seeing for himself. Without asking or expecting the assent of such of our readers as have not had such opportunity, we proceed to state what came under our own observa tion a few nights ago, and which is so strange that it will scarcely be credited by any except those that are conversant with mesmeric revelations. The patient in this instance was a female, who fell into a state of coma by unconsciously fastening her gaze upon a particular object. She had never been in the state before, so far as is known; at any rate no attempt had been made till this time to elicit from her any manifestations of a magnetic or phreno-mesmeric kind. When the trial was now made it was com pletely successful. Benevolence, Cautiousness, Tune, Mirth, Order, Veneration, and other organs were in turns excited, and brought forth prompt and beautiful responses. Exhibitions of this kind, though marvel lous enough, the public have been long familiar with, and we certainly would not have recorded this case had it stopped here ; but, quite independently of the design of the operator, new and more wonderful performances were exhibited,: such as we believe have never before been witnessed. Ic so occurred that in exciting Benevolence the finger of the operator unwittingly touched Imitation, and it is supposed by those present, that the display which ensued was the result of the activity of this organ. From th at time, and during about half an hour afterwards, the patient became like a self-acting machine, operating with her own fingers on her own faculties, and bringing out the most extraordinary manifestations. Placing the tip of the finger on the top of the fore head, she with her left hand pulled out from her pocket a handful of money, and with expressions of pity gave it to the imaginary claimant upon her benevolence ; and this impulse was so strong, that it could not be abated till the finger was somewhat forcibly removed, and the faculty checked by the operator bringing that of Caution into play. The back part of Alimentiveness was then touched by the patient, without the slightest suggestion from any one, and an unmistakable expression of the features showed that water was wished for; when it was sup plied it was swallowed greedily. The finger, in this instance, had also to be removed, but no sooner was this done, than it was again placed near the same spot above the temple, and a loud cry for " plums " was the consequence. In order to satisfy this peremp tory demand, the key of a press was asked for, when the patient, as if to awaken her memory, transferred her finger from the inner part of Alimentiveness to Eventuality, and searched her pocket for the key re quired, and gave it to her servant. The next organ excited by herself was Locality, accompanied with the striking remark to the aforesaid domestic, " Oh, I have got a fine place for you." The centre of the right eye-brow (Colour) was next touched, and the appropriate exclamation made, "That gown of your's is not a nice brown, and you must get it dyed over again; and you should also get that light shawl made darker in colour." In a similar way Time and Tune and Mirth were excited ; and after that a display we had never before heard of, which, for want of a better phrase, we would call a manifestation of Despondency. It was produced by the patient placing her finger immediately above the right eye ball, and pressing it upwards against a part of the roof of the eye-brow nearly equidistant from Colour awl Locality. She had been laughing heartily a little before, but now was transformed into "a Niobe all tears," and in the expressive language of Scrip ture, " lifted up her voice and wept." What renders all this overpoweringly marvellous is the fact, ,for which we vouch, that the in dividual who thus exquisitely phreno mesmer ised herself, is in her waking state profoundly ignorant of phrenology, and could not, at the present moment, tell the position of one out of the ten or eleven organs which she called into activity by her spirit-guided touch. We may also state, as worthy of remark, that the only faculty which the ,operator asked her to excite, was one whose precise seat he had forgotten, namely,Acquisitiveness. quisitiveness. In bve obedience the to the request, h er was the promp tly busts a placed the position a in We indicated by have not th e smallest doubtpoitin of above theea r , organ.t the spot o t that o all the thirty-three faculties would h ave b een pointed out, if the experiment had been made ; a n d, even as it was, our previous acquaintance with phrenology, acquired after considerable reading and observation, received an exactitude it never possessed before, from the communications of this mesmeric patient—herself, when in a normal state, being, as we have said, totally ignorant of the science. It is scarcely too much to say that, if Gall and Spurzheim bad been CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice MAULE and Mr. Justice CRESS WELL.) Thomas Bunney Midge, a young man of respectable appearance, surrendered to receive the judgment of the Court. The defendant was convicted, in February last, of uttering forged orders for the delivery goods; but upon a point of law that was reserved, judgment was respited. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL, in passing sentence, said that the prisoner had been convicted of uttering forged tasting-orders for wine at the London Docks, his only object apparently being to obtain a small quantity of wine; and a question arose whether this was an obtaining of goods sufficient to satisfy the require ments of the statute, which question was reserved for the consideration of the Judges. That point had since been discussed in the Court of Appeal created by a:recent statute, and the Judges were unanimously of opinion that the conviction was a proper one, and that the offence came within the statute, and he quite con curred in that opinion. It now, therefore, became his duty to pass a judgment upon that conviction, but as the Dock Company did not wish to press the case vindictively, and were satisfied with having obtained the opinion of the Judges upon the point of law, the sentence would not be a severe one. The property taken was no doubt of small value, but still it was a very mischievous offence, so far as the Dock Company were concerned, and it was to be hoped that this conviction would have the effect of deterring others from repeating it in future. The defendant was then ordered to be imprisoned in Newgate for one month. William Harris, 30, clerk, was indicted for felo niously uttering a 51. forged note of the Bank of England, with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of that corporation. Mr. Clarkson and Sir J. Bayly prosecuted, and Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Huddleston defended the prisoner. This trial occupied the Court the whole day, but the facts lay in a very small compass, and the nature of the case will be better understood in the form of a narrative than if the evidence were to be given in detail. It appeared that on the 21st of August a person, alleged to be the prisoner, accosted a girl of the town, named Mary Anne Bird, in the Kingsland road, and after some conversation he accompanied her to her lodging in Essex-street, in that neighbourhood, where he sent out for some liquor, and gave a Si. note in payment. The liquor and hange were ob tained at a public-house in the same street, and the moment the man obtained the money he made some excuse and left the house, and the note soon after wards was discovered to be a forgery. In this case the girl stated that she had known the prisoner before, and she swore positively to his identity, and two other persons in the house confirmed her testimony ; and it appeared that the witness Bird, upon seeing the prisoner in the same neighbourhood a few days afterwards, immediately recognized him as the man who had given her the forged note, and gave him into custody. In order to show the guilty knowledge of the prisoner, evidence was adduced to prove that upon:four other occasions, and under ex actly similar circumstances, he d passed other forged notes, and in every case the parties swore positively to the identity of the prisoner, and ac cording to the evidence of the Bank Inspector the whole of the forged notes were struck from the same plate. It appeared that the prisoner, when he was apprehended, asserted that he was innocent, and said that with regard to one of the days that was men tioned as that on which one forged note had been uttered, he could show that he was at another place. The witnesses were all cross examined at considerable length by Mr. Ballantine, but they persisted in de claring their positive belief that the prisoner was the man who uttered the forged notes. Mr. BALLANTINE, on behalf of the prisoner, con tended that there had been a mistake as to his iden tity. He said that he was a highly respectable man, who had for many years been in the service of a most respectable firm in Throgmorton-street, and on this account alone, he said, would be a very unlikely person to commit such-an offence. His employer had so high an opinion of his integrity that he was willing to become bail for him to any amount before the magistrate, and, notwithstanding what had occur red, he would be ready again to take him into his service if he was discharged on the present occasion. He reminded the jury that the case for the prosecu tion merely rested upon the evidence of prostitutes and brothel-keepers, whose evidence ought at all events to be regarded with great suspicion, and he said that, to strengthen the doubt which this would reasonably occasion, he should produce evidence to show taat, at all events, so far as regarded one or two of the transactions, they were certainly mistaken as to the prisoner being the man who had passed the notes. Several highly respectable witnesses were then examined, ho made out a most satisfactory alibi with regard to the Bth and 21st of August, on which days the prisoner was alleged to have passed a forged note in the way described. The evidence appeared so conclusive that Mr. CLLRKSON rose and said, that after the testi mony that had been adduced he did not think that on the part of the Bank of England he ought to proceed with the case any further. At the same time he must remark that he was rather surprised that these wit nesses had not been produced before the magistrate. Mr. BALIANTINE said they were in attendance, but as the Bank brought forward a great many cases and the evidence only applied to two of them, it was thought advisable not to produce the evidence until the trial. Mr. Justice MACIA observed that he did not see any ground for supposing that the witnesses for the prosecution had committed perjury. It was evident there had been a mistake. The jury then returned a verdict of Not Guilty. There were four other indictments against the pri soner, but they were of course not proceeded with. NEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) James Mackey, 20, a sailor, was indicted for cutting and wounding Samuel Cotton with intent, &c. Mr. Mellor prosecuted. The prosecutor, a police-constable, stated that whilst on duty, on the 6th of October, in Ratcliffe highway, at about one o'clock in the morning, he saw the prisoner pursuing a man whom he had wounded in the face. He then had a drawn knife in his hand, and upon the officer following him he cut him most seriously in the arm, and it was not until after a most desperate resistance that he was secured. The medical evidence proved that had the wound been any deeper death must have followed. The jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to ten years' transportation. Lawrence was indicted for stealing a cart valued at 181. The evidence against the prisoner was, that on the 18th of July he went to a person named Bellen, at Shoreditch, and borrowed the cart, as he stated, for his uncle, a Mr. Rollins, in the Curtain-road. The cart, not being returned, was traced to Woolwich, where it had been sold for 51. The jury found him Guilty. There was a second indictment, for stealing a hand barrow, under similar circumstances. He was likewise convicted upon this charge, and sentenced to two years' imprisonment. Frederick Mills, who was convicted last week in this court of uttering forged checks, was brought up for sentence. The RECORDER sentenced him to six months' im prisonment and hard labour. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. BULLOCK.) Catherine Kinnes, 26, widow, was indicted for wil ful and corrupt perjury before Mr. Walesby, one of the justices of the peace for Middlesex. The prisoner pleaded Guilty. Mr. 13A.LLAIITINE, who appeared for the proecu- tion, said that the charge against the prisoner was of great poverty, being a widower left with a large fa an extraordinary kind, and had been instituted by the milt', and he wished to recommend him to mercy on churchwardens and guardians of the parish of St. that account. James, Westminster, to deter others from attempting Mr. BULLOCK then sentenced him to be imprisoned impositions of a similar character. The prisoner had three weeks in Newgate. presented herself at the workhouse and asked relief for three children, which she alleged she was unable longer to support, she being their aunt. The result was that the parish relieved the children, and sub3e quently removed them upon her oath. Suspicions, however, having been aroused, an inquiry was set on foot, and it then turned out that the children were her own, and that she w was living under circumstances of a disreputable nature, and was not in the state of poverty be represented. She was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. Mark Isaacs was indicted for assaulting John Courtoy and fracturing his jaw. Mr. Ryland prosecuted, and Mr. Parry defended. The facts of the case disclosed a very gross outrage on the prosecutor. It appeared . that a Mrs. Nathan, residing in Catherine-wheel-alley, had preferred a bill of indictment against the prisoner, the trial of which was to come on at the Guildhall Sessions, and the prosecutor had been subpmnaed as a witness, which so raised the anger of the prisoner that, meet ing him coming him out of a public-house with his wife, he struck him a blow that knocked him down ; he then kicked him about the head with such fearful violence that he broke his jaw, and the result was that he had been confined from that period (the 16th of August) down to the present time in the London Hos pital, and was in all probability injured for the rest of his life. What made the case worse was that the prosecutor's wife and family had been rendered quite destitute in consequence of the prisoner's brutality. The prisoner, after the act, seemed to glory in what he had done, and boasted of having sent one b— to the London Hospital with a broken jaw, and threatened to serve one of the witnesses in this case the same. The defence set up was, that the prosecutor was drunk, and that prisoner had been first assaulted. Several witnesses having been called, they dis tinctly proved that the prosecutor had pulled off his coat and first commenced fighting with the prisoner. Mr. RYLAND upon hearing this withdrew from the prosecution, and the prisoner was Acquitted. John Preston, 26, sailor, was indicted for unlaw fully assaulting Wm. Martin on the high seas. Mr. Parnell prosecuted, and Mr. O'Brien defended. The prosecutor, Martin, who is a harmless looking lad, stated that he was a seaman on board the barque Atlantic, and that on the 6th of last March, whilst lying off Malta, the prisoner, who was mate, came up on the deck and said he had been sleeping on his watch. Prosecutor told him he had not, but he imme diately took up a handspike from the windlass and struck him over the arm with such force that the limb immediately fell powerless. The prisoner said, "D— -you, you young rascal, I've caught you, have I?" The violence of the blow caused prosecutor to fall with much force against a chain cable, by which his face became very much bruised and injured. Pre viously to that, whilst at. Gibraltar, prisoner told him to fill a cistern, and because he did not do it quickly enough he took the bucket, a canvass one, from him, and beat him about the head with great force, until he fell down and much injured himself by the fall. Upon another occasion, when he did not get the water quick enough, prisoner took him by the left ear, and swung him by it with much violence on to the deck. Upon the occasion of one fall through the prisoner's violence prosecutor had his nose broken. The other evidence given was a corroboration of the above ' and also went to show that other acts of brutality had been practised on the poor lad. When the vessel came into dock the prisoner refused to let the !ad come ashore, but in consequence of some in formation that had been given police-constable 73, of the Tbames police, went on board, and there asked to see the lad, who came up, and then made the same statement he now did, when the constable asked why he had not come on shore and made his complaint to a magistrate. He said the prisoner had given him orders not to leave :the ship, saying it was the cap tain's command. The constable immediately ascer tained that this was an untruth, took the lad ashore and had him examined by a surgeon, who said that his arm had been broken at some period of his life, and that he had lost his hearing from the injury done to his ear. The evidence upon the point of the broken arm not being clear, The jury returned a verdict of Guilty upon the two other counts. There was another indictment against:the prisoner for kicking and beating John Brennan, another lad on board the Atlantic. To this the prisoner pleaded Guilty. The COURT ordered the prisoner to be imprisoned three weeks, in addition to that which he had already suffered. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET. John Bailey, a young man of respectable appear. ance, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hammill, charged with having, under fraudulent representa tions, obtained a quantity of manufactured goods, of the value of 201., from Mr. James Cousins, a currier in Luke-street, Finsbury. The prosecutor stated that in the month of May last the prisoner, with whom he had previously had some dealings to a trifling extent, and who at that time carried on business in Shoreditch, called at his warehouse and purchased goods to the amount above stated, in payment for which he proposed to give him a bill at three months' date, accepted by his mother in-law, whom he represented to be a widow lady residing at Dalston, and possessed of considerable freehold property in Yorkshire. He required time to consider the proposition ; and having in the in terim ascertained that the mother-in-law really lived where he had stated, and was reputed to be a person of respectability, he executed the order upon the terms he had offered, and paid away the bill in the course of business ; but, upon the expiration of the term for which it was drawn, it was returned to him dishonoured, and he immediately proceeded to the house of the acceptor, to whom he exhibited the bill, and on asking if the acceptance was in her hand writing, she returned an evasive answer, and told him she would see the prisoner and make it all right in a few days. Upon calling on her again, however, at the end of that period, she intimated that it vs as not her intention to take it up, as she was a married woman and not legally liable for the amount, and at the same time called forward a respectable looking person, who stated that she was his wife, and that tkey had been married for several years. The prisoner had in the meantime relinquished his busi ness, and removed into another neighbourhood, where he wa's followed by the witness, who demanded payment of the bill, which he promised to make in a few days, but he failed to fulfil his engagement, and witness therefore obtained the assistance of Evans, an active detective officer of the G division, who ulti mately took him into custody. Mr. John Alford, a master-carpenter and builder in Holly-street, Dalston, proved his marriage to the mother-in-law of the prisoner, the ostensible acceptor of the bill, at Stepney Church, about eight years since, and said, that if she had ever signed her name to any bill or other instrument, it was entirely without his knowledge or authority. The acceptance in question was handed to the witness, who stated that he did not believe it to be in the handwriting of his wife, hut, on inspecting a second bill, which it was alleged that the prisoner had passed to another trades man, he recognised the endorsement as her signature. Mr. Ashley, who attended for the defence, closely cross-examined the witnesses, but without eliciting anything favourable to his client ; and The prisoner was remanded for a week, but the Magistrate consented to accept substantial bail for his future appearance, which was shortly after found. The MAGISTRATE requested the reporter to acknow ledge his receipt of the undermentioned additional contributions for the benefit of William Jones, the gunsmith, whose case has been several times men , tioned in this paper :—Mr. T. H. Piper, of Exeter, a Post-office order for 1/. ; W. P., 53.; and M. E. M. in postage-stamps, 11. William Charles Hitchin, 23,'clerk, and Benjamin Henry :,11ayer were indicted for feloniously conspir ing together to defraud Robert Peacock Gloag and others of various goods and chattels. Mr. Payne prosecuted, and Mr. Parry and Mr. M'Mahon defended. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner Mayer, having taken a place at 11 A, Wellington street, Strand, called upon the prosecutor and ordered a quantity of things, which were sent to his lodgings, 17, Southampton-street. Upon obtaining the offices in Wellington•street circulars were issued announc ing the opening of the " Liberal Loan and Discount Society," and a painter sent for to do up the place. The whole firm consisted of the two prisoners, but it would seem that the painter having some suspicion that all was not right from the fact of never having seen any one else but the two prisoners, and having heard much talk about the firm, refused to finish the job he had commenced, and some information having reached the ears of the prosecutor in this case, inquiry was made, and it was found that the prisoner Mayer had run away from his lodgings in Southampton street, and had given up the offices and sent back the key by the Parcels' Delivery Company. The result was that Trew, the City officer, took them both in custody, and on the road to the police-court Ilitchin said to Mayer, " It is your tongue that has brought this on me. The defence was, that there was no evidence of acting in concert, and that, however improper their conduct might have been, still it would not support a charge of conspiracy. Mr. BULLOCK, in summing up, said, that was the only point for the jury's consideration. The jury acquitted the prisoners. Jane Sinclair, 46, widow, was indicted for con spiring, by false pretences, to obtain from John W. Webb and others various sums of money. Mr. Robinson prosecuted. The Learned Counsel stated the following case to the jury :—The prisoner went on the 29th of August to the shop of Mr. Clark, a pawnbroker, in Long acre, and there offered what to all appearance seemed a gold ring for a pledge, asking 2/. on it. Mr. Clarke tested the ring, and finding it to be only a thin plating of gold upon a metal body, and filled in with pewter, told her so, and also told her that if she attempted to pledge it anywhere else she would be liable to a pro secution. He then sent a man outside of the shop to follow and watch her movements, which he did, and the moment she came out he saw her joined by a man who was waiting outside, and they proceeded to four other pawnbrokers, into each of which the woman went, whilst the man waited outside. The pawnbroker's assistant having in each instance been into the shop before her, each of the rings which she had obtained fresh from the man were tested, and she was warned that they were not gold. The prisoner having ban to the shop of the prosecutor on a previous occasion, and again coming to attempt to pawn one of the rings, she was given into custody. She said she had re ceived the rings from her husband, but this turned out to be false, and from information obtained by the police it was ascertained that she formed one of a gang of notorious "duffers" who had been for years imposing upon the pawnbroking trade with spurious jewellery, and in some instances she had obtained as rings which intrinsically were not much as 11. upon rin worth 2s. 6d. The prisoner, who was undefended, did not offer any defence. The jury found her Guilty, and she was sentenced to one year's imprisonment and , hard labour. Robert Merston, WS attorneys clerk, was indicted for obtaining by false pretences the sum of 1/. ss. from Mr. J. G. Wenstone. Mr. Mahon prosecuted, and Mr. Prendergast de fended. The evidence of the witnesses went to prove that the prosecutor, who is a bootmaker living in the Waterloo-road, had the misfortune to have a son get into the hands of the police, in connexion with two other men, for stealing a glass. The prisoner is one of those pests that may always be found hanging about our courts, and who, under the guise of being solicitors' clerks, manage to swindle the friends of those who get into trouble out of money to conduct the defences of the prisoners. The prosecutor's son being committed for trial at the last month's sessions, at Clerkenwell, a person named Butcher mentioned the prisoner to the prosecutor as a man who would be able to undertake the defence, and the result Was that prosecutor had a conversation with him, and he said the fee for counsel would be 1/. 3s 6d., which, with his own fee, made up the sum men tioned in the indictment. This was paid upon the strength of the prisoner stating himself to be a solicitor. The prosecutor having occasion to leave town was surprised on his return to find that his son had been tried and convicted, and that not any counsel or attorney had moved in the matter ; all that had been done was, that the prisoner had men tioned to Mr. Mellor's clerk that he should want to retain him. Several witnesses were called, who gave him a pre vious good character. The jury found him Guilty, but recommended him to mercy.

MILITARY AT NOTTINGHAM. Yesterday (Monday) morning the district courts martial were resumed, and have continued sitting through the day, with the exception of about an hour in the forenoon, which interval was caused by the sudden appearance of Earl Cathcart. The Noble Earl said he had come expressly at the command of the Duke of Wellington, for the purpose of reading to the whole regiment a communication by the Commander-in• Chief on the subject of the recent disturbances. Every man within the barracks, officers and privates, including prisoners and officers' servants, were instantly summoned for foot parade, and in less than ten minutes all were upon the ground. They were passed through their ordinary evolutions, under the inspection of Earl Cathcart, who is Colonel of the regiment; after which the Noble Earl delivered a very energetic and feeling address. Having complimented the regiment on its appearance Lord Cathcart said he had been wont to look upon the 3d Dragoon Guards as patterns for every other regiment in the service, but unfortunately recent events had in some measure tarnished their fair fame, and cast a stigma upon both officers and men. On this subject he had had the honour to receive an autograph letter from his Grace the Duke of Wellington, which he would read. The letter was a somewhat lengthy communication, ad dressed to all in the regiment. In it the Noble Duke referred to the cause of the recent insubordination— confinement of the whole regiment to barracks for nearly a week on account of a few individual s h av i ng neglected their duty—which he described as an arbitrary act, and contrary to all military law. His Grace said it was wrong in every respect, and well calculated to provoke breaches of military discipline, for the lieutenant-colonel of a regiment to act as Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur had done. That there might be no mistake in future on this subject, the noble Commander-in-Chief quoted the regulations of the service relative thereto. But still a deviation from the proper course on the part of the com manding officer did not justify the men in adopt ing the line of conduct they had done. They should have taken a different course to remedy their grievances ; but having suffered themselves to be be trayed into acts of insubordination , t he y had become, unfortunately, amenable to military law, and must be tried and punished for their offences. After havin g read this letter and delivered his address, C o l one l Lord Cathcart dismissed the regiment, hoping when he saw them again it would be under happier circum stances. The above outline of the Duke of Welling ton's letter is collected from several hearers ; but it is hoped the document itself will he pla ce d i n th e h an d s of our reporter for publication in the course of a few days. Yesterday (Monday) Brevet-Major Splaine forbade the reporters publishing any portion of the proceedings in court until each case had been decided upon by Major General Thorn, commander of the north-eastern district, in which Nottingham is situated. It is expected that these courts will not be concluded until to-morrow, and then the general courts will be commenced, but hitherto no precise time for holding them has been named. Moffat, the man who escaped from the guard-house on Saturday morning, a few hours previous to his expected trial, has not yet been heard of, nor is he likely to be soon caught, for he is said to be one of the cleverest men in the regiment, and the day before his escape had received .5/. from some friends at a distance, which he took with him. The officers in command of the guard at the time of the prisoner's escape have been placed under arrest, and are expected to be tried in court. This trouble some affair is now taking another turn. About nine o'clock on Saturday night Private Broker, who w as not implicated in any way in the charge of. insubor dination, went up to policeman Gascoigne, whilst on duty at the top of Clamber-street. After looking at the policeman's number he exclaimed, " Oh, you are one of the -- that assisted in taking our men up a few days ago;" and having unbutt one d hi s j ac k et be gan to strike right and left at the policeman. The latter defended himself with a stick as long as he could, and, having charged some byst an d ers t o ass i s t, ultimately succeeded in conveying the soldier to the police office; but not until he had received a black eye and had his legs sadly cut by the prisoner, who kicked backwa-ds at him with his spurs as they were walking together along the street. The affair had very nearly caused a regular row, many people being collected during the conflict, some of whom arrayed themselves on the side of the soldier and others on that of the police, and showed a ready desire to make a disturbance. It will be recollected that policeman Gascoigne was the man who turned his light on the threefugitive soldiers concealed in the passage when they were pur sued by a picket on the night the first outbreak occurred. At the police-office yesterday (Monday) morning, it was stated in evidence that the prisoner had repeatedly threatened the police force with the vengeance of the whole regiment, and even on that morning he had said to two of the inspectors, that the 34 Dragoon Guards had unanimously determined before they left Nottingham, to give every policeman they could _meet a hearty g o od th ras hi ng . Th e case was remanded, on account of the proceedings at the barracks preventing the officers from being present to attest the case. Madame Sontag is continuing her triumphant career in the provinces. During the past week the concerts at Norwich, Portsmouth, Salisbury, and Win chester, in which she has participated, have been ex ceedingly successful, " Howe, sweet Home," Rode's Variations, and the recitative, " 0 Luce di quest' anima,' pro hieing the accustomed enthusiastic encores. Her musical progress is to embrace Brighton, Cheltenham, and Leamington, during the present week. L MBETH. John Hainilion, a sawyer, and who had been taken on a warrant while at wurk at the new lunatic asylum at Colney•hatch, was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of breaking the jaw of John Heath, a bricklayer. Solicitors were employed on both sides, and a good deal of the time of the magistrate was occupied in hearing the case, but the brief facts of the case were these :—On the evening of the 16th of the present month, a brother of the complainant and a brother of the defendant quarrelled and fought in the front of the Crown and Sceptre public-house, Peckham. The complainant stooped down to pick up his brother, who was on the ground, when the prisoner gave him a violent blow, which knocked him down, and when he was getting up, gave him a desperate kick on the jaw, which fractured it. Mr. ELLIOTT said the case was of too serious nature to be dealt with by him, and committed the prisoner for trial. THAMES. James Cowderoy, a cab-driver, of No. 4, Bluegate. street, Shadwell, was charged before Mr. Yardley with beating his wife, Mary Ann, in a very savage manner, and breaking her arm. The wife, a dissipated-looking woman, about 30 years of age, with a child in her arms, stated that on Sunday night she was in the Bull's Head public house, in High-street, Shadwell, with a female ac quaintance, and her husband came in there after her. lie was in a most fourious passion, and, after abusing tier and applying the most disgusting epithats towards her, he beat her severely with his fists about her hear] and face, and then knocked her down and kicked her on the side and chest until she was nearly disabled. He lastly seized her arm, wrenched it forcibly, and broke her wrist. The wretched woman, whose arm had been set in a splint in the London Hospital, added, that her husband had been convicted of assaulting her before ; that her life was in danger from his violence ; and that he had repeatedly threatened to murder her and held a knife over her. Robert Durrant, barman at the Bull's llead, con firmed the statement of the complainant as to the brutal outrage committed on her on Sunday night, and said he had great difficulty in pulling the pri soner away from his wife, and preventing him from sacrificing her cn the spot, which appeared to be his intention. The prisoner, in defence, said he had only been once convicted for beating his wife, and not three or four times, as she stated ; and that she wasted all the money he gave her for housekeeping in satisfying her propensities for gin and other strong drinks. She was in the frequent practice of getting drunk, and was so on Sunday night, when he found her in the Bull's Head. She began to abuse him, and provoked him to strike her. He came home several nights in succession, expecting to find a meal prepared for him, but his wife was from home at the public house. Potter, a police-constable, No. 212 K, said that he took the woman to the hospital, where her fractured limb was dressed, and that upon taking the prisoner into custody, he made use of the most repulsive ex pressions respecting his wife. Potter added that the wife kept a house of ill-fame, and the prisoner occu pied a room in it. Mr. YARDLEY expressed the greatest astonishment on hearing this statement, and asked how it was that such a fellow was licensed to drive a cab ? The prisoner said he had driven a cab for many years, and had never been " pulled up" in his life. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner was the greatest blackguard in the district; and when he (Roche) was in the police force, and stationed in Shadwell, he had to keep a constant watch on the prisoner, who was always a suspected person. Potter also said he knew the prisoner to be a sus • pected person, and that his mother-in law, an old woman named Hillman, who had been connected with many robberies, kept the worst brothel in the district. Mr. YARDLEY directed that the prisoner's badge, 2,813, should be taken from him, and delivered up to Inspector Bell, and that a statement relating to the prisoner and his conviction should be returned to the Registrar of Hackney Coaches and Cabs. He could not understand the system of licensing cab-drivers when such a ruffian as the one before him, who had been a suspected person for many years, and kept a brothel, was permitted to have a licence to drive a public conveyance. The licensing system was of no use at all if such persons were to have licences and badges. There was no doubt whatever that the wife was a most worthless woman ; but, if the prisoner was not restrained, he would commit a murder, and be hanged. If he were to allow the woman's misconduct, bad as it was, to be pleaded as an excuse for so much brutality, there would be no safety for her. lle,sen tenced the prisoner to pay a fine of 51. for the assault on his wife, and, in default of payment, committed him to the House of Correction for two months. If the prisoner was again licensed to drive a cab, or allowed to - have a badge any more, it would not be his (the magistrate's) fault. LORD BROUGHAM ON LIGHT.—At the meeting of the British Association for the Promotion of Science, recently held at Birmingham, a very interesting account was given, by Sir David Brewster, of Lord Brougham's experimental and mathematical inquiries respecting the properties of light. Sir David spoke in the highest terms of eulogy of his Lordship's fine apparatus, the work of M. Soleil, the celebrated instrument-maker at Paris. The delicacy and exactness of the philosophical instruments made by M. Soleil were warmly praised by Sir David Brewster, certainly one of the most qualfied judges of such matters in Europe. It is fortunate for science to have such servitors as DI. Soleil. Lord Brougham is now at his seat near Cannes, in the South of France, and it is believed that he has gone thither so early this autumn, for the express purpose of prosecuting his experiments beneith the clear sky and fine sun of that beautiful clime. Before he had reached tho age of twenty h© had communicated to the Royal Society, of London, some valuable papers on the flexion and reflexion of light. These were not only favourably noticed in foreign publicatons, but led to their author's being elected F.R.S., and were published in its Transactions. Thus early did his active and in quiring mind apply itself to mathematical and exact science. WEST INDIA STEAM-SHIP. — The Great Western, Captain Wolf, arrived at New York, from St. Thomas's, West Indies, Oct. 12, and sailed again for Bermuda at noon on Sunday, Oct. 14. The Royal Mail steamer Thames was going into Havannah on the Bth October, as the United States mail steamer Ohio was leaving for New York. THE BERMONDSEY MURDER. I THE COUNTI Since the conviction of the MAnnings a circum- The following is the official stance of very considerable importance has come to corn, &c„ received in the po light, which, if any doubt could possibly exist as to both Essex, inclusive : sei, from the 22d Oct., their guilt, would appear to be almost conclusive upon the subject. It will be remembered that, after the verdict had been pronounced agailst the prisoners the woman made a violent speech, in which she as serted her innocence, and appeared to make it a strong point in her favour that she loved the deceased, and could have been married to .him if she had pleased. It has, however, since been ascertained that for some time before the murder O'Connor had been paying his addresses to a young woman, and they were on the point of being married ; it is known that Manning and his wife were aware of the fact, and it is probable that, feeling the marriage would in all probability have the effect of breaking off all connexion between them, they determined upon the desperate measure of getting possession of his property of murder. Another curious fact has also come to light. The trial, as our readers are aware, lasted two days ' and the prisoners each day retired from th e cour t for a short time to take refreshment. Of course when the prisoners were first received at Newgate they were narruwly searched, and every instrument with which they might inflict injury, either upon themselves or others, taken away from them. Upon the second day of the trial, in consequence of something that came to the knowledge of the prison officials, it was considered prudent to search the female prisoner, and in her pocket there was found a large piece of broken glass, a most dangerous missile, well calculated to have in flicted very deadly injury upon any person who might have been struck with it. It was immediately taken from her, and thus, no doubt, from the violence sub sequently exhibited by the prisoner, some desperate mischief was prevented. How she obtained posses sion of this glass remains a mystery, and the only way in which it can be accounted for is by the sup position that it must have been given to her by some of the persons who were in the dock, a great many strangers having been, owing to the crowded state of the court, admitted into the dock during the latter part of the proceedings. It was understood yesterday that the counsel for Mrs. Manning have resolved, upon consideration, to abandon their application for a writ of error. The point, however, whether she stands in the position of an alien will still be submitted to the Criminal Court of Appeal, and as that Court must be composed of five Commissioners at the least, and the whole of the judges may attend if they please, it is quite clear that a more competent Court for the disposal of the ques tion which, after all, is one of a very simple character, could not be imagined. The next sitting of the Cri minal Court of Appeal will be on the 10th of Novem ber, and if the question should be sent before that tribunal it will, of course, be disposed of on that day. Manning has made some extraordinary disclosures relative to the murder and his former connexion with O'Connor, which will be made public after the exe cution. He persists in his statement which was handed to his Learned Counsel, Mr. Sergeant Wil kins—" That his wife shot O'Connor, and afterwards threatened to shoot him unless he helped her to bury the body." He seemed more composed yesterday after his interview with the chaplain, and several times wished to see his brother and his solicitor, Mr. Binns, to whom he wishes to make some communication. Mr. Binns has not been able to have an interview with him yet, as he must obtain a special order from the magistrates for that purpose. His brother called at the gaol last evening, and delivered a letter from his sister in the country. The letter was shortly afterwards delivered to him by the Governor, and the contents seemed to affect him in a great degree, as he wept• several times while reading it. His brother did not see him. Prior to the trial, and while his unhappy wife was confined in the gaol where she now remains, she wrote several indecent letters to her husband, couched in the most obscene language and written in broken English. In none of them, however, does she allude to the murder, but she defies him to get her gold watches. Copies of these letters were shown to Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Parry during the trial, likewise to the Attorney-General, but no attention was paid to them. She still con tinues in a very sullen mood, and speaks very little. Her only remarks are that she has been unjustly treated by England, and that she is innocent. COAL MARKE Baffle's W.
