• MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From, the Mining Journal.) The transactions which have taken place in the share market have not shown signs of any great im provement over those of last week ; still a moderately fair share of business has been done, and we can by no means say the market has been heavy. A few Devon Great Consols have been done at prices rather under our present quotations, and, al though buyers are to be found, still sellers maintain the quoted prices. Mary Ann, East Wheal Rose, South' Frances, South Basset, West Buller, and other leading and, promising mines have been in quired for, at limits rather under prices quoted. At the Wheal Comfort meeting a dividend of 21. 10s. per share was declared on the two months' work ing, leaving a balance of about 1701. in hand. Wheal Margaret is stated to have fine courses of tin in the 110, 120, 130, and 140 fm. levels; this is one of the best, if not the richest, tin mine in the county of Cornwall. Lelant Consols, which imme diately adjoins Wheal Margaret, on the east and south, has the above rich levels of the latter mine running towards this sett. Tamar Consols is represented to be looking re markably well, several of the deepest levels having much improved. In the 70 fm. level east, on the Kelly Bray lode, an improvement has taken place ; but the extent has not been officially made. Tincroft continues to improve, and some very im portant discoveries have been made. The res .rve of ore here, we understand, is greatly increa,ing, wait ing only for a better price. Among the improvements during the week, we may notice Caradon Wheal Hooper, where a die covery has been made in the 60 fm. level. Kingsett and Bedford lead lode has also improved to a great extent. Shares, in the following mines have chaneed hands since our last :—Devon Great Consols, Trelawny, South Bassett, Bedford United, Trehane, Mary Ann, Kirkcudbrightshire, Wheal Franco, Kingsett and Bedford, Wheal Anderton, Wheal Ash , East Tamar, Tavy Consols, Devon and Courtenay, Cwm Erfin, Eagair Lli, Tincroft, Tamar Consols, and Mendip Hi-ls. Heignston Down Consols held their meeting on the 10th. The balance-sheet showed a credit of 6401. 9s. 7d. in hand, with 1791. 15e calls unpaid. The prospects of the mine are represented to be im proving, particularly as regards the copper lode, of which the manager continues to anticipate the most sanguine results. The usual bi-monthly meetings of East and South Tamar was held on Thursday, but adjourned to Thursday, the 26th instant. At the South Wheal Josiah meeting the accounts showed a balance in favour of the mine of 101. Si. 10d., and a call of 10s. per share made. At the Lostwithiel Consols meeting the accounts showed a balance of 231. 2s. 11d. in favour of the wine, and a call of 1/. per share was made. At the Llwynmalees meeting, Mr. Murray's re port gave a satisfactory statement of the prospects of the mine, and it was stated that another call of 10s. would probably put the mine in profitable working. The monthly cost was 845/. 6s. 4d., leaving a balance in favour of the company of 3971. At Wheal Lawrence meeting, the agent's state ment gave great satisfaction. The meeting of the Mining Company of Ireland was held on the sth. Although the company had laboured under the pressure of extreme difficulties, connected chiefly with the local and general distress of the country, their prospects have been cheered by the advance in the standard for copper. Trifling as it may appear, an increase of 700/. has been added since the making up of the account for the meeting; and the demand for coal and culm had considerably , improved. Both the mines and colliery were repre sented to be in efficient working order. In the foreign mines the transactions in shares have not been extensive, although there has been bar gains in St. John del Rey, National Brazilian, Unite _I Mexican, Copiapo, and inquiries for Asturian, but at a considerable discount. At the Bolanos meeting resolutions were passel for the alteration of the Deed of Settlement, and another meeting will be held in about a fortnight. The meeting of the Santiago Mining Com?any was held on the I I th. The financial statement shows an expenditure of upwards of 1 2001. above the receipts. This excess ot outlay appears to have been principally occasioned by operations in developing new ground, with a view of effec:i9g di s coveries, which is expected will be found productive before long. The estimated value of machinery, buildings, materials, and other property on the wines, is given at 44,0001., and a re served fund ot 26 . 0001. in the hands of the directors, out of which they die not consider it advisable to de clare a dividend ; but, from present prospects, one may be anticipated at ti a next meeting. The long pend ing suit between this company and the Cobre had re sulted in an amicable arrangement THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette.) THE ROYAL t.:QUADRUN FAL THE ROYAL VISIT TO IRELAND.—Tne royal yachts are all ready, as La Hogue steam ship, Captain M.[)ougill, is ordered to be ready fur sea at Sheerness by tit.- 23 i instant. The Arr..gant, 46, steam-frigate, is expected at Portsmouth from the Mediterrary.an next week. The Stromboli, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Lard A. Beaueleik, is refitting at Sheerness, and will be complete by The 25th instant. The Vivid Dover steam-packer, Master Commander Smithett, is ordered to be ready for special service by the Ist of August, which " special service " is to accom pany the royal yachts. Orders have been issued through the Commander in-Chief at Cork for all the officers on leave belonging to the Ganges, 84, Captain Smith, C. 13., ' to join their ship by . that day, and the ship herself is to be kept ready for sea, and the Lucifer steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Lloyd, has received orders to return to Cork from the Isle of Man on the 25th instant, to be in readin'ss to attend on the royal squadron. THE SIEGE OPERATIONS AT CHATHA3I.—We are in a position to announce that Monday week, the 231 inst., has been fixed upon for the siege operations which have excited so lively an interelt, throughout Kent, Surrey, Middlesex, and Essex. Colonel Weare, the worthy commandant, is somewhat improving in health, suffi ciency so, at least, to be removed before the operations take place. The expectation of Prince Albert's pre sence at the display is no longer entertained. Major-General Jervois, who has so long and satis factorily filled the office of Master of the Ceremonias at Bath, contemplates, it is said, the resignation of that office. The emoluments of the office are considerable, but it is, we believe, anything but a sinecure. _ . _ FORTIFCATIONS AT SHEERNESS.—The Admiralty have call( d upon the . au,horities to state why the battery - or dered to be constructed to flank the Queen's embank ment has not been proceeded with according to in atruetions. INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.—The Admiralty have ordered the Woolvvich authorities to institute s ome ex -1 periments with pitch, from the pitch. lake sent home from Trinidad by Vice-Admiral the Earl of Dandonald, with the view of ascertaining whether it is .capable of being adopted as a cheap substitute for ordi nary paint. It is reported that Captain' W. H. Henderson, C. 8., 'is to have the command of the Ajax, 60, screw two :decker. CoMPANIONSHIP OF THE BATH.--We have authority for stning that there is no foundation for the following par-graph which appeared last week in a contemporary journal:—" It is reported that the Gainpanioriship or the Bath, vacant by the death of Slajor-General Adair, late Royal M,.rines, will be conferred on Colonel Wright, K.H., the late respected Commandant of the Clwham division: RAISING MEN FOR THE QUEEN.—Lieutenant R of her Alckje,.ty's ship Queen, fitting at Devonport, is at _Portstiviuth entering good seamen to fill up the coLnple meat of that ship. None are accepted but men of very good certLficates. TIIE RIVEI-tS .AND T t.; MOORS. (From the Inverness Courier) Tempted by the ready fine weather that has at length arrived, the anglers are now in numbers seek ing their favourite streams, which, we are happy to say, are-in excellent condition, and seem likely to re main so for some time, as the lochs from which they are fed for the most part are now brimful. Before noting • the gossip about our own rivers, we may remark, that the Dee, the Don, and the Tay have all been very prolific during the last week or two. The daily produce of the beach, between the mouths of the Dee and Don, has lately been about 400 salmon and grilse, and the Dee, below Aberdeen, has-yielded about 380, and the Don in proportion. The Tay has been equally productive; and the reports from the east coast state that all along the shores the fishermen have met with shoals of grilse, in excellent condition. The Ness was for a few days in spate, although it was scarcely noticed, the great flood of •January having considerably deepened the channel above and below the old wooden bridge. The stream was too strong for the nets, but the fishermen have no w resume d working, and average from twenty to thirty per day. The grilse run freely, are finely shaped, and in prime condition— and when this is the case so early,thes . rally proves a successf u l one . Much, season en owvegrheas not yet been done in the Ne ss , th e fi s h making for-the upper upper waters. On the Oi c h, Si r H . P arker and Mr. St. John, Captain Beauclerk and M r . C omyn, are now plying the rod, and have hitherto been successful. On the I.ochy, since the late rains, the anglers have had excellent sport. A. letter of the 9th tells us that Captain Crawshay, Spean Bridge, killed, in one day, seven fine fi , h. The number of salmon and grilse killed during the week by the gentlemen on the river (which is now exclusively reserved for a limited num ber of anglers), by the rod, was upwards of 70; and • the creels displayed, besides, many superior trouts. Mr. A. Smith, Kilichonate, killed forty trouts in an hour and a half, each weighing over two lbs. Large quantities of fish are now in L. , chiel, and daily - ascend the river. The nets at Corpach and Corran have been doing great execution ; and the curing house at Corpach, belonging to Mr. Muir (who ex• ports fish, packed in ice, to the West Indies), never was more crowded with flesh flab than at present. THE SUN, LONDON, On the Conan and Backwater, Seaforth and Captain Douglas have been doing some execution. In three days last week they killed fifteen salmon and grilse. Mr. J. M. E. Jones has returned from the Carron, having enjoyed several weeks of famous angling, and having basketed large numbers of salmon and grilse. Mr. Meredith passed through Inverness on Tuesday for the Sutherland streams and hills. The lochs are fall, and the weather has been favourable for trouting on them. We have little to say respecting the moors. We have seen a surveyor who has just returned from a trigonometrical survey on part of the Cairngorm range of mountains, and who states that the grouse are very numerous—the pouts strong and on the wing, occupying higher parts of the hills than they usually do at this season of the year. In the edges of the woods skirting the base of the hills the black cocks are likewise numerous. The only unfavour aNe report we have received is from Glengarry. Lord Ashburton has taken Glentruim moors. Captain Inge and his friends Captain Pearson and Mr. Graham, have passed through town on their way to Fasnakyle moors.

The brig Swallow, of Hull, Captain Lee, was on the 24th March last, driven into a pack of ice, the same which proved fatal to the William Ward, whose loss was recently recorded. It will be remembered that the survivors of the "William Ward were taken on board of various ships. The Swallow, it seems, had none to help her, and the way in which her whole crew were preserved in life (although some of them have been mutilated by the frost), while continuing at the pumps day and night for nine weeks, appears most remark able. On the 21 of July she got out of the ice, and her commander ran her on shore on Iceland, from whence the crew were taken to Belfast and thence to Liverpool, where those who had lost their toes were received into the Infirmary. The mate arrived here on Sunday last from Belfast, and was followed two days after by the master, Mr. Thomas Lee, jun., who had remained with the men to see them properly attended to. It was the 6th instant when they arrived in Belfast. All the crew were saved. The vessel is a total loss, and had it not been for the large number of men on board, including the Shetland men, by means of whom they were enabled to keep up relays of men at the pumps, the vessel could not have been saved from sinking. Captain Lee furnishes the following particulars from the log :—March 19, lat. by obi. 72 06 N., 21st and 22.1, sun obscured; 23d, sun still obscured ; saw a great number of old seals in the water heading to the W.S.W. Ship raching along a patch of ice to the N. Saturday, 24th, P.M moderate breezes, and thick snowy weather, ship retching to the southward along the ice, in search of seals. At four, A.M., a strong gale from the N.N.E. coming on, the topsails were close reefed and the foresail furled. The wind increased to . a complete hurri cane, with thick snow showers. The ship was put upon various tacks, but continued to bear down upon pack ice. At 9.30 there was a temponry cessation of the storm, the ship being pretty quiet, but at ten the swell broke in upon her, and she began to strike heavily against the ice ; her warps were or dered to be cut up for fenders, and this was imme diately done. The first damage sustained was the breaking of the rudder in two or three places, by which the ship became unmanageable. At 10.30 the ship was stove in on the starboard side, under the main chains, and the same blow broke two of her main beams; at eleven her star board bow was stove ,in, from her ice knees to the fore chains: the water came in rapidly, and gained upon the pumps very fast. A warp was got • out from the starboard bow to a heavy piece of ice, and the foresail was next set, and by the vessel forg ing a head, she wore round. It was most providen tial she did so, as had she not, she. would have been full of water in twenty minutes. The pumps were not sounded, but she must at this time have been half full ; we cut her booms up for " shores" (or fenders), and set them fore and aft on the larboard side, and larboard bow, by which means she stood the shocks much better ; both pumps were kept going, and the water was gaining upon her a little. The weather was severe, the ship like a floating iceberg, and many of the men severely frost-bitten. No observation had been taken since the 19th, but the latitude was supposed to be 74 30. On Sunday the 25th, at five P.M. (the nautical day begins at noon), the larboard bow was stove in, and the water gaining upon her much ; we therefore cut the masts away, and lost four quarters of fresh beef that were hung in the rigging; that the ship survived was a miracle. At nine she drove out of the stream of ice, and went into open water ; set the stunsail boom for a jury -mast, and a topmast stunsail upon it. The cutting of the masts away lightened the ship about a foot, but still there were many leaks under the water, besides a hole in her starboard bow, that we could do nothing w ith ; the water still gaining upon us, to preserve our lives, and keep her above water, we cut the anchors from the bows, and put the chain cables overboard, with the whale lines, the salt strakes, and every moveable thing we could lay hold of. Had not this precaution been taken she could not have survived twelve hours. At I,ur, A.M., got the pumps to suck. The decks were two feet thick with ice that had accumulated by pre vious pumpings, and many of the Shetlandmen had given in through being frost-bitten ; as many of the men as could be spares from the pumps were engaged in cle_.ring the ice from the decks. At 11 A.M. we drove into a heavy stream of ice, and all hands that could be spared from the pumps were attending the ship with fenders and ice poles; we had heavy gales and thick snowy weather to the end of /the day. 26th. The men exhibited extreme fatigue, having bad no rest for two days, but we kept the coppers going with plenty of but coffee and tea for them ; " we had no spirits on board (observes the captain), and I think they held out much better without it." The crew were ani- mated by the hope that they would soon fall in with some ship, the vessel not having a whole timber in her from the water line and upwards. At four r rd. we drove into another stream of ice, and were more quiet. The day closed with gales and thick snow. On the 27th the vessel lay close beset in the ice, but striking very heavy at times ; the noise of water running in veryfist being neard near the stern-post, the carpenter cut away part of the stern-frame, and patched the leak; he dare not cut any further, being afraid of weakening the vessel too much. What was done eased the pumps a little. On the 28th and 29th was similar weather. On the 30th three men—namely, Oila Grey, Gideon Anderson, and Peter Henderson were in a shocking state, their frost-bitten feet being quite dead and black. Oatmeal poultices were applied. The same day the holes in the vessel's sides were re paired, by thrusting in beef, and bags of barley and sawdust, and covering over with three thicknesses of canvass. From the 31st, for many days and nights, the pumps were constantly going, and the vessel close beset in the ice. On the sth April, the weather having moderated, sundry repairs were done to the ship. On the 6th, the rudder was repaired and " shipped." On the 28th of May the ice began to open, but closed again same day. [The entries as to pumping ship and " fodering" here are so constant that we omit them] This day saw the west land of Greenland, bearing by compass N.W. N., and sixty miles distant. 29th—East Water, beariug S.E. by S , distant four or five miles. 30th—In a stream of ice; all hands to the fenders. June Ist—lce again opened ; all hands warping the ship to S.E. 2d—Open water ; the watch set ; and the sails set for Iceland. 31—The vessel makes more water, and the sea is getting up. 4th—lceland seen, distant about fifty miles. sth—The water runs in through the holes under the cabin deck, and gains upon the ship. At eight P.M. were close in with the land, and the vessel being in a sinking state, we ran her ashore on a sandy beach ; there were a few houses at a short distance, but none of the natives could speak English. One of them was engaged to conduct the, mate to the Governor, whose residence at Isseford was about eight miles distant. The Governor and two other gentlemen came down, and on the receding of the tide surveyed the wreck, which was then delivered up to them, and all hands left for Isseford, from whence they were forwarded home, as above described.—Eastern Counties Herald. PURIFICATION OF THE THAMES BY DEEP TUNNEL-, SEWERAGE.—AII honour should b- given to Mr. John . Martin and others, who have been urging this point tor, its, importance. before the public mind was awakened to importance. The general idea is not a new one, and for, the purposes of the none the worse for that. In 1843 Mr. Tphuobmliacs is s itt published a short pamph let, state of t h e entitledßiverm h "Suggestionsa esand thepr a g for u e improving of the Lou, don," wherein, after pointing out the injury done by discharging the sewers into the Thames, he says, —" My idea is, that the best means of ob viating this evil would be to conduct the sewer, drainage at once from the west and north parrs of Lon don, by the shortest and straightest lines that can be found, to a place to the east of the town (and perhapa the low lands of Plaistow or Barking Level would be the best calculated for the purpose), and there, near to the river, to form one or more very large reservoirs to receive the discha-ge. Very deep sewers might be Made, of sufficient capacity to take a large quantity of water in the most direct way, and to receive the contents of all the sewers crossing the lines. For example : one great line might be made to comwence at Padr dington, going along the New-road by King's. cross (or Battle-bridge), and there taking the Fle4 ditch; from thence, running towards the east by Isliug l ton, passing under the new river and the canal, through Hackney and Bromley, and passing below the river Lea to its great receptacle. The distance from Paddingtop by this route would be only about twelve miles, being six miles less than the present course, which has to travel with the river, by all its windings and bendings, round th e I s l e o f D ogs , an d a ll o th er obstrue tions. Another great line might be carried along 04 - ford -street to the bottom of Holborn, where it coul l d be made sufficiently deep to take the contents Of that part of the Fleet Ditch, and which might be lowered from the r i ver t o run i n that direc tion ; then to continue across Smithfield, the grounds of the Charterhouse, along Old -street by Bethnal green, and so eastward, t o j o i n t h e great out l et. Thi s wouldgive an opportunity of draining many parts that are in a very crowded state, and at present without suffi cient means of drainage." For the south side of Lon don he proposed a similar deep sewer running towards the east, on the other side of the Thames.—Builder. FIRE AT MESSRS. CAPELL'S DISTILLERY.—On Saturday morning an alarming fire broke out on the premises belonging to Messrs. Capell and Co., the dis tillers, of Poplar. The stock in trade being. of so com bustible a nature, the flames spread in a very minutes to an immense extent. Several engines were on the spot in a very short time, and the large float engine from the Deptford Dockyard was also brought to bear upon the premises, but in spite of the exertions of the firemen, the flames could not be extingui.hed until the contents of two -icamense oil and tar tanks had been destroye'd, and the valuable steam machinery considerably damaged, The fire was caused by some of the men warming a tap to make the pitch run. Messrs. Capell, it is beliered, were not insured. GAS-LIGIELT AND CORE CO: Name of Company. British • • •• • • ••_••• • •• V Ditto rrovincial....

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, July 13. CROWN COUR I'.—(Before Mr. Justice Wietwrmarr.) I John Dale was charged with having, at Northallerton, on the 11th day of May last, feloniously uttered two forged 5/. Bank of England notes. Mr. Martin, Q.C.. and Mr. Adolphus, appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Overend defended the prisoner. ' It appeared that the prosecutor, Thomas Langstaff, of Yafforth, near Northallerton, took his cow to the fair at that place on the 11th of May. Not being able to sell her he was returning home, when he was followed by the prisoner, who demanded to know the price of the cow. The prosecutor asked 91. 103., but at length it was agreed that 91. should be taken, and the prisoner paid the money by two 51. notes, receiving a sovereign in change. and a shilling for " lack." The prisoner then drove the cow bsck to Northallerton, and the prosecutor proceeded to Yafforth, but in the afternoon he returned to Northallerton, and on trying to get the notes changed at two of the banks he found that they were forgeries. lie then informed a cattle dealer, named Rickaby, of what had occurred, who in the evening saw the prisoner at the Durham Ox public-house in Craike, and in the stable he saw the cow. Conceiving it to be the animal which the prosecutor had mentioned as having sold, he charged the prisoner with having bought her and paid for her with two forged notes; the prisoner admitted having bought the cow, bat denied that the notes were bad, and stated that he had received them from a man named Fewster (who, it appeared had suddenly decamped), but that he would take the notes back, and return the cow. name d Wightman, :had likewise met the pri driving the cow very fast, near N ''l° e ns w eard bo di r lhe o e Ug s h am , and dap a lsked him whether he had not bought the cow at Northallerton, to which the prisoner replied that be had not, but that he had bought her at Sutton under- Whitestonecliffe. Information having been given to the police, the prisoner was apprehended next morn ing at Easingwold. • Mr. OVEREND addressed the jury for the prisoner. Verdict Guilty. Sentence, ten years transportation. NISI PRIUS COURT. 7 (Before Mr. Justice PATrEsoN.) APPI:gYARI) V. ROSS. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Atherton appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Martin, Q.C., and Mr. Cowling, fur the defendant. This was an action for libel. It appeared that the plaintiff had been in the service of the defendant, who is a draper at Driffield, and had travelled for him fir twelve months, soliciting orders, at the end of which period the defendant wished the plaintiff to agree to serve him for three years longer, and to bind himself not to set up in business in the defendant's district. Not being able to agree, they separated, and the plain tiff shortly after commenced business on his own ac count, and then the defendant issued the following placard:— " Notice, to all whom it may concern, that William Ross, draper, Driffield, did, on the 15th of January last, discharge from his employ, John Appleyard, for im proper conduct, and finding that the said John Apple yard, having obtained a bundle of print patterns, S4e,-, is perambulating the district that he went over when in my employ, con rary to the express condition which he at first entered into with me, showing patterns and endea vouring to palm off goods in my name, I hereby warn all parties on whom he may try the imposition, after this date, from paying him any money, or entrusting him with any orders on my behalf on any pretext whatever. " WILLIAM Ross. " Dated Driffield, March sth, 1849." Mr. MARTIN having addressed the jury for the de fendant, in mitigation of damages, on the ground of the previous relative pOsition of the plaintiff and the de fendant, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, 501. BROWN V. THE YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY. This was an action on the case to recover from the defendants, as carriers, the sum of 281, the value of damage which goods of the plaintiff had sustained in their transit from 'Salford to Hull. The defendant pleaded Not Guilty; that they were not common carriers from Salford to Hull; that the good.; were not delivered to them as such carriers, to be carried from Salford to Hull; and that they were improperly packed when de livered. _ _ Mr. Knowles, Q C., and Mr. Grainger appeared for :he platntiff; Mr. Martin, Q.O , and Mr. Addison, for the defendant. The plaintiff is a linen-draper, and is in the habit of going to the different large towns in the country for the purpose of selling his goods. On the 28th of March, 1848, he was at Bolton, in Lancashire, and being about to proceed to Hull, he had his goods packed up in a hamper, a box, and a bale, and booked them by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, first to Salford, and then forward to Hull. The plaintiff went by another train, and on his ❑rrival he inquired for his goods, which, however, were not forthcoming for a day or two, and Then he found that some of them were damaged and some stolen. It had not been discovered where the damage had happened—whether on the Lancashire and York:hire Railway, or on the York and North Midland, which joins the former at Normanton. The goods had, however, been delivered to the Lancashire and York shire Railway, who had given a ree,ipt for them. His LORDSHIP being of opinion that the contract had been made with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, and not with the defendants, The plaintiff agreed to b nonsuitid, with leave to move to enter a verdict for 131. (the value of the articles d imaged and lost, which were not of a silken material, the defendants being' protected as to those by the Car riers Act), if the Court above should be of opinion that j the defendants were in law liable. July 14. CROWN COURT.--(BetiTre Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) DESTROYING A COAL MlNE.—.lohn Harrison Wa , in dicted for having, at Wath-upon-Dearnes, in the West Riding. on the 10th day of March last, feloniously filled up and obstructed a certain air-way belonging to a coal mine, the property. of John Dobson Charlesworth and others, with intent to destroy the said mine, and to hinder and delay the working thereof. Mr. Overend and Mr. Chsrleswcrth prosecuted; Mr. Joseph Pollack defended the prisoner. It appeared that on Saturday, the 10th of March last, the prisoner was working in the colliery in question, which is called the. Swinton Park Colliery and extends about 1,500 yards under the surface of the ground; in order to give proper air to the workmen, there are air pipes or passages which Convey pure air down to the pit, and others which convey the foul air away. These pipes are essential for the working of the mine. On the day in question, which was Saturday, the prisoner re • manned working in the colliery until all the workmen had left. On the Monday (as was the custom), the steward of the mine descended before the other worm men, to see that there WAS sufficient air in it, and that the pipes were clear. On descending with the Davy lamp, he found that it indicated foul air, and upon searching for the cause, it was found that the air-pipes were filled or stopped up With shale. Tile prisoner, not coming to his work at the usual hour on the Monday, was asked about the pipes, and he replied, " That be d—d! I did it while I got some wood." The prosecutors asserted that the prisoner had had a dispute. about his wages, and which accounted for his having maliciously filled up the pipes. Mr. JOSEPH POLLOCK, in addressing the jury for the prisoner, said ho thought the prisoner had shown great carelessness and recklessness, yet that there was not sufficient malice shown requisite to support the indict ment. Ills LORDSHIP summed up.—Verdict, Not Guilty. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Winchester, July 13. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WILitAMs.) George Newbury; was indicted for the manslaughter of Henry Johnson (a lad aged fifteen 3 ears), at Canis brook, in the Isle of Wight. Mr. Pouldec was couiasel for the prosecution; Mr. N. M. Cooke defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence that on the 7th of June the deceased was at the Bugle Inn, at Catisbrook. At about four o'clock in the afternoon the prisoner came into the inn yard, And accused the deceased of having thrown a stone .at his daughter, and also with having worried his. dog. The deceased denied this, and an al tercation took place between them. The prisoner then colimenced a viele4it assault on the deceased, and heat him over the head and on the thighs with a stick. On cross•examination it was elicited that subsequently the quarrel was made up, and the patios drank togeth , r. The deceased wet about his wozk as usual, and did not complain of anything for three days, when he became ill, and a'niedical wan attended him ; he lingered until the 11th of June, and then died. The surgeon, Mr. Waterworth, deposed to the cause of death being inflam mation of—the lungs, which he said might have been caused by the heating whish he had received. On cross examination, however, he stated that the inflammation might have arisen from severe cold. Upon this evidence the Learned JUDGE expressed his opinion that, the , charge.of manslaughter could not be supported, but directed the jury that they might find the prisoner guilty of. a common assault. This verdict was accordingly returned, and the pri soner was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice CRESS WELL.) Thomas Holloway was indicted for the manslaughter of his son, Wild= Holloway, a boy of ten years old. Mr. Sewell conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was undefended. This was a very distressing case from the near rela tionship between the prisoner and the deceased It appeared by the evidence that the prisoner was a labourer, living at Southampton. On the 26th of May last, went to work in the morning, and his wife also went to work at a house in the neighb •urhood, leaving a little girl and the boy who afterwards met with his death at home. On leaving home the prisoner told the boy to remember to fetch a pitcher or water by the time he came home to dinner, as he should want some coffee. At half past twelve the prisoner returned to his house to dinner; tho water had not been, tetched, nor was the boy there; and on inquiry, the father found that he was gone to etch crabs in the river with some other boys. In the evening, when the prisoner returned from his work, the boy was playing in the road; but on seeing his father he ran into the house; upon this the father said to a man named White, that he was going to give the buy a cut or two for not minding what he was told; he had a strap in his hand. He then heard him beating the boy with the strap. He then stopped, and was heard to ask the boy if he remembered what he had told him the day before, to which the child answered, " no father." He was then heard to strike the child twice, when a little sister of the boy cried out, " Oh don't father, don't; Billy will die." Mrs. White went into the room and met the prisoner coming out with the child in his arms, ap parently 'alarnied. He took the child into the air, and bathed his head and face. The child, however, died in a very few minutes. The strap was produced with which the prisoner had struck the b.)y, but it was a small one, not likely to inflict a serious injury, but had a buckle at one end. The medical man who examined the body of the child, deposed that ha found several bruises on the child's back and shoulders, such as might have been caused by blows of the strap, and a braise 13-hind the left ear,whieh he said was, in all probability, caused by a blow with the fist, and not by the strap. On opening th. skull h e found that a vessel on the brain hsol been ruptured, a, he believed, by this blow. An effusion of blood took p, lace which caused pressure on the brain and instant death. Ur. Justice CRESSWELL having summed up and ex plained to the jury the law applicable to the case, the jury found the prisoner guilty. The prisoner was thou sentenced to fifteen months' imprisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSIOIV-HOUSE. William Speak, who was on Thursday last charged be fore Sir J. Pixie with having attempted to utter a forged bill for 9SI. 103., purporting to be drawn upon Messrs. Davis, the extensive shoemakers of Gracechurch-street, was further examined. Mr. Mullens, of the firm of Bush and Muliens, solici tors to the Committee of Bankers, who attended for the prosecution, said, on the case being called, that the London bankers had received, since the prisoner's first examination, a telegraphic communication from a bank at Halifax, by which the bill in question had been discounted, to the of ct that the bill should be sent back. That had been done, end Messrs. Barclay lied received a letter from the Halifax bank, subse quently, requesting that the bill might be put down in honour of the firm, so that there evidently was no in tion of Prosecuting for the offence. Sir J. PIRIE —Here is a case of positive forgery, and cannot with such evidence before me, permit the ends of justice to be defeated so completely. I cannot con sent, although the instrument is no longer before me, to allow the prisoner to be at large. There can be no doubt as to the fact of the forgery. Mr. Mullens said he had written to the person in Staffordshire, who was alleged to be the drawer of the bill, and had received an answer, stating that there was a person of the name there, but that person knew no thing whatever of the bill, and would, if required, come to London to satisfy those upon whom the delusion had been attempted to be practised. The case was, however, out of the bands of Messrs. Barclay and Co., the bill being in the possession of the bankers at Halifax. Sir J. PIRIE—I certainly shall not discharge the pri soner, and the le:niters at Halifax must . be immediately written to to produce the forged instrument. The prisoner was then remanded till Wednesday next. GUILDHALL. Alai Blake, of No. 4i, Great George-street, Ber mondsey, butcher, and James West, of Fenton-place, East Greenwich, were placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Musgrove, charged with defrauding a Mrs. Cox of 71, nnder the following circumstancee:— Mrs. Lucy Cox, of Wheatsheat-yard, Farringdon street, said that on Friday, the 6th of June, she pur chased a mare in Smithfield market from the prisoner West, the man Blake being present. The price agreed upon was 101., but no; having that amount, nor wishing to go beyond 71. or 81, she intimated to them her posit tion, upon which West said they would give her time to pay the balance, and eventually it was arranged that she should pay down 71, and the other 3/.:.t the end of the week. West signed the receipt for the money. On the following morning (Saturday) she sent the horse and a cart to Mr. Eyke, of Milton -street, Cripplegate, for two quarters of oats, when it was instantly identified and de tained, as having been stolen from that person the pre vious day; in consequence of which the prisoners were taken into custody. Mr. John Ey ke, carman, of Milton-street, said that on the 6th of July, a person brought a letter from a Mr. Bartholomew, the brother of a person he well knew, requesting that he might be accommodated with a horse, at the same time representing that he was in the writer's service. He wrote a note back, and shortly alter the party returned with an answer in writing, in which it was stated that there was no objection to the paying 21s. per week for the hire, and that he might depend upon it the horse would be "kept well." On the fol lowing morning his people identified the horse, when sent by Mrs. Cox for two quarters of' corn. Alderman MUSGROVE —How long has Mrs. Cox dealt with you ? Mr. Eyko—For some years. Alderman MusneovE—At what time did you lend the horse ? Mr. Eyke—About ore o'clock. Alderman MUSGROVE—And when was it purchased ? Mrs. Cox—Abont two o'clock the same afternoon. Alderman Musonove—lt certainly is a remarkable circumstance that it should so soon return to the owner's hands. Mr. Eyke said he had the horse about three or four years, and its value was about 201. He had teen Mr. Bartholomew, who denied sending the letters or authorising any one to get him a horse. To provo the mare was his property, she was taken out of the cart and let loose, when she directly went to her own stall. William Woolmer, in the employ of Mr. Eyke, said that the man when he called the second time said that any horse would do, as he must take some goods down to Stratford that afternoon ; upon which witness said that he might have it for one night, but the mare must be returned the same evening, and the following morning he should have another horse in its stead. The man promised to be back at seven o'clock, but he did not make his appearance, nor was the horse seen until the following flay, when Mrs. Cox sent for the corn. Henry Webb, 258, said that on apprehending the pri soners he asked West where he got the horse from,when he replied that he and his master Blake met a man in St. John-street, leading the horse. They asked him if it was for sale, and he said yes, it was ; upon which they rent into Mr. Robinson's yard and concluded the bargain. Witness inquired if they had a receipt, and received a reply in the negative. He then aAked what price was given, upon which \Vest said he was not dis• posed to answer that question. All he knew was that the man gave him a name, and also the name of his master on a piece of paper. Thomas Bradley, 269, corroborated his brother offi cer's statement. A solicitor's clerk, who attended to defend the prisoners, cross•examintd the witness, but did not in the slightest degree alter the facts epoken to. He contended there was no case, for his clients fairly and openly purchased the horse. Alderman MUSGROVE said there was sufficient to jus-, tify a remand, for there might have been a conspiracy between the prisoners and the man not in custody to obtain the horse by means of forged letters. At any rate it looked suspicious that no receipt was taken, 'nor any inclination to tell what was given for the horse. He should remand them until Wednesday. Application was then made for Blake to be allowed out on bail, but the worthy Alderman declined doing so. CLERKEN WELL. Samuel Honour, an elderly man, fur many years past a respectable inhabitant of Ilighbury- vale, Islington. where he has carried on business as an undertaker and cabinet-maker, was charged with a robbery in the dwell • ing house of Mr. Barnes, a draper, of the Upper•road, in that parish, under very aggravated circumstances. The case excited considerable interest, and occupied the attention of the worthy Magistrate, Mr. Tyrwhitt, a considerable time. The followinc , are the short facts of the easet—On Friday night, between ten and eleven o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises occupied by the prosecutor, and the prisoner was one of the first on the spot after an alarm of the conflagration had been raised by the ser • vants of Mr. Barnes, who was not at home at the time. One of the shopmen, in a frantic manner, called for some one to secure the eash•box, and some title-deeds then in the counting house, and the prisoner helped himself to the former, and endeavoured to escape. He was met by Police-constables Woodrum and Harries, of the N divi sion, who had to take the box by force away from him; after which it was discovered that the contents, amount ing to 141. 9s , had disappeared. The accused was im mediately sought after, and being discovered in a crowd in front of the house, he was walked off to the police station, where the amount in question, for the possession of which he could not give a satisfactory account, was found upon him. Mr.TYRWHITT, in a feeling address, asked the prisoner if he wished to make any statement in reference to the serious charge?—The unfortunate man, who was most awfully dejected, faintly replied, "I have nothing at all to say, sir." He was remanded for the attendance of material wit nesses. Mary Ann Edwards, an old woman, was charged with decoying and enticing away James Laurence, a child four years of age. It appeared in evidence that on Friday evening, while the child was playing in front of its parents' residence, in Brick lane, St. Luke's, the prisoner, who had been seen watching it for more than an hour, took it up in her arms, promibing to buy it some cherries. She was fol. lowed by the mother at least half a mile, and her inten tion to do some wrong then becoming too evident, she was stopped and handed over to the charge of an officer, to whom she first stated that the child was her own, and afterwards that she bad only taken it up for an airing. The prisoner, in her defence, pleaded that she knew not what she was about. She was fully committed for trial. DEATIr ruom Caw,Eitt.—Mr. George Sorel], Royal Engineers, had only arrived from the continent a few hours on Tuesday last, the 10th inst., when he was seized by an attack of Asiatic cholera, pronounced to be of the most malignant kind. The , first symptoms were perceived between two and three o clock, up to which hour Captain Sorel( appeared to be in perfect health and spirits, b u t so rapid was the progress of the terrible disease, that in spite of every effort made to save him by Drs. Wilson and Latham, at ten o clock he had ceased to breathe. The unfortunate young officer thus prema turely cut off was only in his 28th year, and from hi s mild and gentlemanly manners and superior intelligence, was held in high e stimation in the gallant corps t o w hi ch he belonged. Th e deep distress into which a de a th so awfully sudden has p lun g ed his surviving relatives, in cluding two brothers in the 81st Regiment, can easily be imagined. A wire rope, 3,3- inches in diameter, 10 inche s in eircumterenc,, and 500 feet long , was di-puteh e d b y railway on Friday se'nnight, having been m anu f actured by blesse=sß. S. Newell and Co. It is, we believe, the largest wire rope that has ever been i made. Th e we i g h t is 901 b. per fathom. Its destination s India, where, it is supposed, it will be used in the e construction of a w i re rope bridge.—Newcastle Guard i an.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The report of the Committee en Smithfield market has just been printed by order of the House of Commons, and the subject of which it treats stands for immediate discussion. We congratulate the public on this report. It would, indeed, have been perfectly im possible for fiteen men of ,average honesty and intelli gence—not being salesmen or Newgate-market butchers —to have arrived at any other conclusion than that the holding of a cattle market for the supply of a metropo litan population of two millions in the very heart of the city they inhabit, must be an intolerable nuisance. It needs no examination of witnesses, no Parliamentary Committee, no huge blue books, no discussions of municipal or Parliamentary bodies to convince any reasonable man of so very obvious a truth. Goad droves of cattle through the crowded streets of a large town, and the:results must be terror, confusion, and accident to the passers by, and suffering to the animals themselves; crowd the wretched creatures on a ridiculously insufficient space when they have been driven into the market, and keep them standing there in torture for a long period of time, and the meat must needs be deteriorated in quality, and become less fitted to serve for wholesome nutriment; pollute one locality in the centre of a vast city with animal excrement and effluvia.; set the kennels a running with gore, garbage, and filth ; establish a system of knacker's yards, tainted sausage makers, slaughter-houses, tripe-dres sers, cats'-meat-boilers, cafgut•spinners, bone-houses, and other noxious trades in the very heart of Lon don, and you necessarily give encouragement to typhus fever, diarrhoea, dysentery, and cholera. Our quarrel is not only with Smithfield-market, but with Saiithfield-market and all its attendant nuisances. We now invite all who, living at a distanc e f rom the actual pollution and annoyance, may have en tertained a doubt as to the justice and reason of our constant remonstrances against their longer conti nuance to peruse for themselves the report of the Par _ liamentary Committee which has just appeared. If any justification be needed for the efforts so long made by the Times to abate dhis most disgraceful and intolerable nuisance, we would simply refer to this report, and by this we will be content to stand or fall. The conclusion arrived at by the Committee after a lengthened investi gation was as follows: " Resolved—That it is the opinion of this Committee that the continuance of a market for the sale of live stock in Smithfield is proved by experience to be at tended with very serious inconveniences and objections, and that it ought to be removed." The answer to this solemn decision of the Committee, on the part of the advocates of Smithfield-market, will, no doubt, be that the fifteen gentlemen of whom that body was composed were interested in the Islington enterprise, and availed themselves of their Parliamentary position to further their own pecuniary interests. Such is always the argument in list resort of the friends of the nui sance. Tile other resolutions—five in number—contain nothing against which we feel called upon to remonstrate. It is true enough that the Corporation of the city of London have endeavoured for a years past, in a little " pottering " way, to mitigate the annoyances caused by the presence of the cattle-market in the heart of the City; but, the Committee add, "so long as the market continu-s to be held in its present situation the inconveniences reerred to will not admit of prevention." They tell us in their third resolution that in providing market accommodation in substitution for Smithfield market we must not only provide for the present, but look forward to the future wants of the growing popu lation. Tnis is of course a judicious course of policy. In the opinion of the Cummitt,e the presence of a large open specs such as Smithfield in the heart of a thickly populated district muss he of great b..nefit to the ebb of the surrounding neighbourhood; and in the event of the removal of the market it is desirable that the greater portion of it may be retained free from buildings. No doubt such an arrangement would be very desirable. The firth resolution is a very important one, as it pro nounces autheriiatively upon a subject on which much difference of opinion existed. It is to the effect that only one great metropolitan cattle market can exist. "In the selection of its site, regard should he had to the position of the railway termini, the place of the disembarkation fur Scotch, Irish, and foreign cattle; the bridges, especially Blackfriars; and to the density of the population in the neighbour hood of such site." By their sixth and last resolution the Committee recommend the Government to take into their " early and serious consideration " the construction of abbatoirs, the establishment of an inspection of slaughter-houses, public as well as private; of an organ ization of a system of vigilant superintendence of the mar kets both of dead and live stock," to prevent the sale of meat unfit for human food;" of a shifting of the market day from Monday to Tuesday, and of erect• ing lairs with a suitable supply of food and water for the cattle that are brought to market. Such is the sub stance of the six important resolutions at which the Committee of the House of Commons have arrived, after hearing and digesting an immense mass of evidence. We may look back with some pride to the steadiness with which we have advocated the alterations and opinions proposed and expressed by the Committee in the teeth of much selfish and fatuous opposition. It may be too much to ask of the general reader to wade through four hundred pages of blue book, but if such an one will but turn over with his fingers the index to the report and its analysis, dipping from time to time into the body of the work, we shall be satisfied. He would there find ample proot of all the assertions we have from time to time put forth as to the insufficient area "of Smithfield-market—as to the cruelty practised by the drovers—as to the annoyance and danger caused by driving the cattle through the public streets—as to the unwholesomeness WS the meat—as to the diseases generated in cattle at Smithfield-market, and propagated by their means throughout the country—as to the itju ties Lamed up,,n the public health in consequence of the present position of Smithfield-market and its at. tendant nuisances. It is unfortunately impossible to crowd together in a single column a sufficiency of facts from the report to support our previeue as , iertions under all these heads; but there the blue book can be per chased by the curious for five shillings—read it who will. Not only is the case for the removal made out by competent witnesses, but in the report will be found all that can be said on the other side, and the namls and occupations of the men who say it. To us, the single testimony of an intelligent naln, such us rrofessor O. or Mr. Grainger, or Dr. Gavin, perfectly cis interesttd in the matter, and whose attention has been expressly called to the subject, far outweighs the interest, d evidence of a score of magnates of Newgate•market trembling for the security of their filthy and pestilential tens. While the cholera is raging amongst us, it is appalling to reflect that such prolific causes of the disease are allowed to remain a single day unchecked. Dr. Gavin says that the sanitary condition and sanitary regulations of a large town form a study by themselves. Public health is now a branch of medicine ; and we certainly prefer the dicta of those who have given especial attention to the subject. We dwell uput this considerati4 n just now rather than any of the other reasims for the removal of Smithfield twirliet, as the pre,ette atoongst us of the prevadnig epidemic gives it an unusual ferce. But even when the cholera is not going its rounds among us, as hat a fearful centre for the generation of pestilential diseases do we not po, - sess in Smithfield market and its attendant nui sances! Surely it Lewis not the pres nee of tan actual plague to tell us that an over-crowded cattle-market in the centre of this huge town, surrounded by filthy slaughterhouses and horrible dens, in which the pro cesses of the filthiest industry are cirried forward, must be a public calamity of the most serious nature.

BENTINCE. —On Saturday afternoon a meeting of the trustees 0' Cavendish-square assembled at the Court-house, Mary lebone, for the purpose of considering the plans and pro posal to erect a statue, as a testimonial to the memory of the late Lord George Bentinck, M.P., within the enclosure of the square. Viscount Barrington, M.P., presided. The statue is to b e o f b ronze, of very large dimensions, and it is underst oo d t h at t h e plan, as pro. posed by the testimonial committee, involved the removal of the statue of the Duke of Cumberland, erected in his honour in reference t o t h e b attle of Culloden, which now occupies the centre of the enclosure. This was objected to by the trustees, who ultimately passed the following resolution:—" That the trustees of Cavendish-square do not approve of the site marked out on the plan, as the same would materially interfere with the enclosure. The trustees willingly give their consent to the erection of the statue opening to Holies street, in a line with the iron railing within the gate, upon two new gates being furnished at the expense of the committee, one on each side of the statue, and all dilapidations made good by the committee."—" That Major Beresford be requested to communicate this decision to the committee." By this arrangement, if accepted by the committee, the statue will occupy a commanding position facing towards Oxford street, and in a similar position to the statue of Mr. Pitt, erected in Hanover-square. DISTRESSING SUICIDE OF A WAITER.—An inquest was held before Mr. W. Biker, at the Three Compasses, Dalston, on view of the body of John Ball, aged 59 years, who had been waiter for upwards of 40 years at Baker's Coffeehouse, Change-alley, Cornhill. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased had been in a vary de- spanding state for so me mont h s p ast , w hi c h was attri buted to the death of his young master, to whom he was much attached. On Saturday night last he was disco vered by police: constable Watts, No. 156 N, lying upon the f. ot path in the Middleten-road, Dalston, immediately opposite the house in which his young master had died. He was in a state of insensibility, and blood was flowing copiously from an extensive wound in his throat, which he had inflicted with a razor, which was found 1)111 by his side. He had divided the e , ,rotid artery, windpipe, and the wound extended to the vervbrse of the neck. lie was subsequently removed to the German Hospital, and lingered in great agony until Thursday morning last, when he expired. Verdict —" Temporary insanity." A cricket ball, measuring fourteen inches in cir cumference, was found in the stomach of a fine heifer lately slaughtered by a butcher at Rotherham, THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

Although the splendid weather experienced throughout the present week has caused a less animated feeling to pervade the trade, still the supplies of choice fresh made English flour have been on so limited a scale that a ready vend was found for such at full and improving prices. Stale and inferior parcels were, however, quite neg lected. Oatmeal ha& continued to meet a slow sale at about previous rates. At Liverpool the imports of 'oreign and Ca nadian grain, flour, and oatmeal, though less extensive than last week, are still to a fair amount; but with the exception of about 3.000 loads of malt coastwise, the arrivals of English and Irish produce are very light. At our market this morning the best descriptions of wheat were held for rather more money. Prime fresh flour commanded slightly enhanced terms; but for other kinds the demand , was languid at the currency of this (lay se'nnight. Oats fully supported their previous value; whist oatmeal, on the contrary, meeting a very limited in quiry, must be noted the turn cheaper.

GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, JULY 12.—The number of cattle brought forward at our market to-day were—oxen , 612 ; sheep, 1,066 ; lambs, 2,467. Owing to the sultry state of the weather, the market was inacti re, and sales were re' ther in favour of the buyer. Best beef, however, maintained former prices, viz., 50s per cwt, second quality realised front 42s to 45s per ditto, and inferior cow beef from 38s to 40s per ditto, sinking the offals. The demand for sheep was dull, and, owing to the scarcity of lambs, prices advanced is per head. Mutton ranged from 41d to sid per lb.

A steady consumptive demand is es . perienced for Indian Corn, which moves off in moderate Va l ," tities, at late prices, for the supply of the districts in the tenor. Wheat is firm, with an upward tendency, hold er. influenced by the improved tone of th e E ng li s h a d v i ces , beii!g disposed to look for higher rates, and being strengthened this feeling by the fact that the stocks of the article of Teal prime quality are very scarce here just now . A s a nnatl;a l ; consequence, it follows that we have more firmness in the fitL e trade, and we find that an advance of 6d per cwt upon r e flours is generally sought for, while some of our millers ref ers to sell except at the i m p rovemen t. A s , h owever , the ba sre. have not been obt a i n i ng pr i ces f or t h e i r b rea d sufficientlY wit munerative to admit o f th e i r pay i ng hi g h er rates for the material, a struggle is going on between the purchaser a.• seller, and the result is a not very active business in the ar ticle. We have but few foreign arrivals. Of home grain we ma, say none comes in. Holders of wheat are firm, and demised . higher rates, yet but little has changed hands. Of oats the same may be said, as though there have been some inquiries for the article, the pretens,ons of holder.; have checked hug' ness. On flour an advance of 6(1 per cwt is asked.
