" 17 -77 7, - - z , r Naval and Military Intelligence• The Emperor, steam-transport No. 67, Capt. Brown, arrived at Spithead yesterday, from Portsmouth, from the East. She left Kamiesh on the 27th of October ; Constantinople, Nov. 1 ; Malta, 11 ; and Gibraltar, 17. She has brought home Major Boys, Capt. C. B. Roche, Paymaster of the 34th Regiment ; Lieutenant Boynton, 17th Lancers ; Mr. John, of the Purveying Department; Assistant-Sargeon W. T. Irwin m Lieutenant C. F. Barnett, 54th Regiment ; Mr. Armstrong, temporary clerk in the Commissariat Department; Captain Darke, late of the Talavera Transport Service, 7 servants, one hospital steward, ono assistant -storekeeper, two women, 1,213 barrels and cases of gunpowder and cartridges, and the body of the late Colo ne l th e H on. N . Maule (brother of Lord Panmure), in charge of Corporal Lynch, of the 41st. The ensign of the ship was suspended half-mast on the vessel's arrival at Spithead. The Emperor is a remarkably handsome ship, and has done good service in the transp or t service since she entered it in March, 1854, in the conveyance of troops, horses, baggage, and towage. Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., Com mander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, officially mustered the staff and crew of his flagship the Victory yesterday fore noon, supposed to be the farewell inspection before his striking his flag on giving up command of the station. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Valette, which arrived at Southampton yesterday morn ing with the Peninsular mails, brings intelligence from Gibraltar of the arrival of the British steam-transport Nicholas Wood, eight days from Portsmouth, with a cargo of rum, coffee, &c., for Balaklava, on the 15th inst. The steam-transport Durham, with condemned stores, from Malta for Spithead, put info Gibraltar on the night of the 15th. The British screw freight-ship Sardinian, six and a quarter days from London, laden with gun carriages and other stores for the Turkish Contingent, and 140 tons of ammunition and ball cartridge for B klava, arrived at Gibraltar on the 16th, and, after coal ing, sailed for her destination the same evening. The Orinoco, steam-transport at Plymouth, was or dered yesterday to be fitted immediately with an extra magazine, to contain 14 tons of gunpowder for transport to the East. The Urgent, steam-transport, Commander Phillips, R.N., was going out of Portsmouth harbour to Spithead yesterday morning, when a small vessel got in her way, and in trying to avoid her she ran foul of the schooner Hazard, 10i tons, Michelsen, master, from Malaga, laden with fruit, oil, and wine, bound for Copenhagen, and made her a complete wreck ; th e tid e ( e bb) t oo k her (the Urgent) on the port bow, and she ran bodily on to the Hazard, which was at moorings, with two anchors down, sweeping off her rigging and deck gear at one brush, leaving only the bare lower stump of her foremast above deck, tearing up one pump and damaging the other, staving in her bulwarks, and thrusting her mainmast through them. Water flowed into the vessel fast, and she could not make head against it, her pumps being ruined ; it is much feared that her cargo will be spoilt. The Urgent carried away her jibboom in the encounter, and returned to moorings instead of going to Spitheatl. The Salamander, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Mecharn, was officially mustered and inspected yesterday in Ports mouth harbour by Capt. G. T. Gordon, Flag Captain. She is admirably manned, and had to return five men to the flag-ship on the previous night as over her comple ment (135). She will go to the Coast of Africa on the 15th of December, and, it is said, to relieve the Scourge as the Commodore's ship on that occasion. The three-decker Britannia, fitted up as a floating hos pital for patients coming home from the seat of war, was yesterday towed into her position off Blockhouse Fort, in Portsmouth harbour, ready fur occupation. The Rhadamanthus, steam-transport, Master-Com mander Belaw ' arrived at Portsmouth y es t er d ay f rom t h e eastward, with machinery for the Shannon, &c., and the Dee, steam-transport, sailed thence on her return to the eastward. -The Weazel and Dapper gun-boats were taken out of dock, and into the engineer department yesterday. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander Win. Mould to the Colos sus ; Lieut. C. G. M`Gregor to the Transit ; John B. Johnson, Thomas E. Cocker, and Thomas H. Smith, master's assistants, to the Perseverance ' • A. Vim. Miller, master's assistant, to the Belleisle ; Augustus Bovill, master's assistant, to the Salamander ; G. VV. Burnett, Master's assistant, to the Polyphemus ; David Duncan, assistant-surgeon, to the Meander—confirmed. About 900 of the Land Transport Corps are about to proceed to join the British forces at the seat of war. A force of 600, with officers in proportion, will embark in a few days. The arrival of a convict transport ship on Thursday morning at Woolwich has apparently had the effect of urging the convicts there to resort to various means of escaping. Since the escape of the two mentioned in The Sun of yesterday, a third, named Aaron Hand, 25 years of age, has managed to avoid the vigilance of his guard, and while employed in the customary labour must have entered one of the numerous closets there. It is supposed that he had been provided with a suit of linen clothing, as his own convict dress was found there, and it was clear that he had made his exit from the back by ripping up the flooring. A. man was also seen in that di rection answering his description in linen clothes. A. new species of rifle gun, invented by a Mr. Arm strong, somewhat resembling the Minie rifle, but of an increased size, and mounted on a field-gun carriage, was yesterday morning proved at Woolwich-butt. It is pro vided with a screw, for the purpose of securing a wedge, so as to strenthen the breech. The internal portion of the tube is of wry ught steel, with a highly-polished out side covering of iron. The practice consisted in firing at a target, and was very successful. The charge was 16oz. of powder, and a leaden projectile, weighing 31b. Eight 10-inch 32cwt. guns were likewise proved at the butt, and are to be stored, with numerous others there of the same calibre, to meet contingencies. Dr. DJinege, Staff-Surgeon, first-class, recently re turned from the East, in bad health—an officer of great a ',Hi ty and much practical experience —has been ordered to River to organise the hospitals, and establish medie.d ar rangements fur the British Swiss Legion stationed there. Capt. R. G. Coles, of the Royal Regiment, having qualified at the school of musketry, llythe, has been ap pointe-1 instructor to the Provisional Battalion, Win chester. Staff Captain S. G. Banbury appeared at Fort Pitt yesterday with 58 Medical Staff Corps, under his charge for medical inspection. A draught of this corps having perfected themselves as stewards, cooks, and orderlies, are to be held in readiness for embarkation, part to Malta the remainder for Scutari Hospit a l. A ifeGehment of invalids, composed of different regi menta; arrived yesterday at Fort Pitt, from the eepot battalion, Preston, 13 of whom were taken into hospital. - An order from the Horse Guards was reieived at Chat ham yesterday, that all deserters sentenced to be marked with the letter 13, whom it is not intended to commit to a military prison, be marked at the head-quarters of their corps, before committal to their appointed place of imprisonment. A new kind of knapsack was inspected by the mili tary authorities at Chatham yesterday. It was tried by officers and men, and a favourable opinion was pro nounced upon it. A large number of naval volunteers of the first-class , a ere despatched from Liverpool to London on Thurdday night. — Mr. Clarkson's patent cork life-boat was again launched yesterday from Portsmouth dockyard, from a height of 15 feet to the water, in the presence of the port and dockyard admirals, and the officials of both estab lishments. Its properties, particularly that of righting itself when purposely upset, were further developed. THE MILITIA. The recruiting in Glamorganshi re for the ;naislirtia pro ceeds actively.

He submitted that the introduction of a question of right removed the case from the summary jurisdiction of this court. If the complainant chose to indict at the sessions, Mr. Usher would be fully pre pared to meet the case. He did not deny what was alleged as an assault, but it appeared to him that the magistrate could not go into it. Mr. Jardine observed that even if it appeared that he had no summary power, of which he was not convinced, he must at least hear the evidence before sending it to the sessions. Mr. G. Huggett, of 4, Beaufort-buildings, Strand, de posed—l am one of the inspectors of votes appointed by the parishioners to act at the election of vestrymen and auditors. On Thursday, the 15th inst., I saw Mr. Usher at the opening of the poll. He conducted himself very violently. (The witness was here interrupted by a loud burst of laughter from a group of persons in the body of the court, who, from the commencement of the proceed ings, bad kept up a running commentary.) The course adopted by myself and the other inspectors was to ques tion each voter as he presented himself at the balloting place as to his qualification—first as to the length of rating, and secondly as to whether any arrears were due. In each case I appealed to the collectors, who were present for that purpose. When Mr. Usher presented himself to vote, the collector stated that there was an arrear of church rate due for 1854. Upon that state ment I told Mr. - Usher that I could not receive his vote. Is I had done in previous cases, I kept my hand on the ballot box, so as to prevent any paper being inserted till I had obtained satisfactory information as to the quali fication. The defendant then looked at me in, I must -my- 7 _ _ Mr. Lewis—Never mind that. Another shout of laughter here burst from the same group who had before interrupted the witness. Mr. Jardine said that if there was the slightest further disturbance he would have the court cleared. The witness continued—Mr. Usher then placed his hands on the ballot-box, and looking at me in a very spiteful manner, asked if I refused to take his vote ! I said, "I do." He then, with much violence, forcibly removed my hand from the ballot-box, in spite of every effort on my part to keep it there. In so doing he struck my hand. He then endeavoured to insert his voting paper, in which he did not succeed, owing to the Assistance rendered me by Mr. Peters, my fellow in spector. He said nothing to me but "Do you refuse my vote 1" but he spoke so fiercely that I expected a blow upon any part of my person rather than upon my hand. (A laugh.) He remained within the barrier till some person brought a policeman, who took him to the station house. I charged him with the assault, but the sergeant refused to take the charge on the ground that the policeman had not witnessed the assault. Mr. Jardine inquired what was the nature of the ap plication to the Queen's Bench ? Mr. Isaacson said it was an application for a man lamus, commanding the churchwardens to call a meeting for the purpose of having a new election. Mr. Jardine observed that when a person who claimed to vote, and perhaps had a right to vote, forcibly took away the hand of the officer who had charge of the ballot box, he had the strongest possible opinion that such can duct could not be justified. Mr. Lewis said the inspector had no jurisdiction to touch the ballot box. His duty did not commence till the poll was closed, when he should examine the papers placed there during the day. Mr. Jardine said there must be some person to preside And keep order, and the inspectors had been directed by the churchwardens to perform that duty. It appeared to him that nothing could justify any one who thought he had a right to vote in putting his paper in the box by Force. If the inspector wrongly rejected a vote, he ren dered himself liable to a fine of 50/. Besides, a person whose vote was improperly rejected could overthrow the whole elation. However, as there was a question in dispute, and as the assault was not of a very serious ,;baracter, he would not decide upon it at present, but adjour❑ the case for three months, in order to await the result of the application to the Court of Queen's Bench. CLERKENWELL.—WiIIians Heath and Thomas Pope, boatmen, were re-examined on a charge of causing the death of a woman (name unknown), by towing her through the water in the tunnel of the Regent's Canal. Tile particulars of the case have appeared in ?ire Sun. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a novel and curious case, but ho should not feel justified in withdrawing it from the consideration of a jury. He should therefore send the prisoners for trial, hut he would accept bail. SOUTHWARK.—Lord Ernest Bruce attended to take out a summons against a cabman for overcharge, fait as he saw present an elderly tall man, with long g rey hair and singular expression of countenance, who had attempted to impose upon him a few days ago, he con sidered it his duty to mention the circumstance to Mr. Corn be. His lordship pointed out the party (whose name at present it would be advisable not to mention pub licly), who has been allowed by the magistrates for some time to attend trifling cases although he is not provided with his certificate. This indulgence was conceded be cause he had been an attorney many years, and was be lieved to be now in groat distress and poverty. Mr. Combe—l thick you ought to state the facts pub licly in court. Lord Ernest Bruce—l don't like to do so, as I shall not prosecute or charge the party, but as your worship asks me, I will briefly state what occurred between me and this man. A few days ago, just as I had left the Carlton Club, in Pall-mall, he came up to me and tapped me on the arm, making use of my name, and apologising for stopping me. I asked him who he was, when he said he was the brother of Sir John Ray Reid, who was ruined by Peel's acts, and thathe was reduced to great poverty by the same means. All his proparty in the Wet Indies was gone, and he was starving. I said, you are not the brother of my old friend Sir John Ray Reid, as ycu are not much like him. He said, "I am, and lam much al tered, owing to privations." I said, if that's the ca,e your brother must belong to the Carlton Club. He re plied " No, not to that, but another." He also said that he had daughters living at Chelsea, and he had not the means of getting them even a cup of tea. Mr. Combe—Are you quite sure that this is the man ? Lord Ernest Bruce—Quite positive, sir. He followed me, but I pushed him away. Besides, I noticed his person so well that I cannot be mistaken. Mr. Combe—Did you give him any money ? Lord Ernest Bruce—No, sir. But afterwards I have ascertained that Sir John Ray Reid's brother has been dead some months. This is a fearful case for me to state against a person whom I have just been told has been a lawyer in a respectable position, but such are the facts. Ho is the man. I identified him at the door as I was entering the court, and told him of it. _ _ Mr. bombe (addressing the party alluded to)—What explanation can you give about this affair ? Lord Ernest Bruce swears to you, and if he presses I can detain you. Lawyer—l deny it most emphatically. Ido not know his lordship, and I was not in Pall-mall on the day in question. _ - Lord Ernest Bruce—You were the party, and now you speak I clearly identify you. However, I shall not make any charge against you. Mr. Combe told the party that be bad been allowed to practise in that court as an attorney without his certi ficate, as be had stated that in a short time be shoul I be able to take it out. For the future, he should not allow him to attend there again, unless provided with his cer ficate. The party then quietly left the court, when his lord ship said he was sorry for the man's position, but he was positive as to his identity. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ASSAULT. Yesterday Mr. R. Shepherd, one of the lessees of the Surrey Theatre, appeared before Mr. Combs, at the Southwark Police-court, on a summons, to answer a charge of assault, preferred against him by Mr. John Henry Fitch, the attorney, of Union-street, Southwark, under very peculiar circumstances. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine for the defence. The court was crowded al most to suffocation by members of the theatrical profes sion, among whom were Mr. Creswick, the defendant's partner, Mr. H. Widdicomb, and Mr. Bruton. There were also a vast number of publicans and gentlemen connected with the parish of St. George's. Mr. Clarkson, in opening the case, said he appeared for a gentleman named Fitch, who wag well known in the legal profession for his respectability, and who had been assaulted in a very outrageous manner by the de fendant. The attack committed on his client was, he was instructed to say, designed and premeditated for some time, owing to an action brought by Mr. Fitch against Mr. Shepherd's brother at the latter end of last year, when a compromise took place on Mr. Shepherd paying the costs and a guinea to a charity. Since then Mr. Shepherd had threatened Mr. Fitch, and, meeting him at a chemist's shop in Saint George's-circus, he committed the gross assault complained of, and after hearing the whole of the evidence, he should call upon his worship to send the case to the sessions for trial. The learned counsel then called John Henry Fitch, who said—l am an attorney, car rying on business in Union-street. I know the defendant as one of the lessees of the Surrey Theatre. About the latter end of the last year I was employed by a client of mine to sue Mr. John Shepherd, the defendant's brother, and a compromise took place on paying my costs, and a guinea to the poor-box. After that I received inf mina tion from a friend of mine t!-:at the defendant contem plated au assault on me. Last Saturday afternoon, about half -past three o'clock, he called at the shop of Mr. B ° ll Y, chemist, St. George's•circas, Blackfriare road, to speak to a Mr. Emmet. I was canvacsin I fir the office of vestry clerk to the parish of St. George's, under Sir Benjamin Hall's new act. I saw Mr. Emmet there sitting in a chair, near the counter, and I gave him my card. Mr. Shepherd, the defendant, came in at the time, and went to the counter between me and Mr. Em met, and spoke to the chemist. He then turned round t i me and exclaimed, " n 11 , Mr. Fitch, I have long wanted to see you to tell you that you are a scoundrel, a con temptible humbug, and a ---- thief ; and if you will walk outside this shop I'll thrash you, plied, or smash you." Ire " Why venture to assail me in this manner 9" He Bec Y au ou se b y r o o u ug a h r l t e an action against him when his said, in thief, and a to nd hi r m ob , b , e , d lt ni ,s y fa p l o s o e : dead. d " ant then put his fist into ray face, and sa i d, ir--- you, call me a liar again, and I'll smash " I said to him, " Venture to lay hands on me, and it'sbrother,cvifea said,ivii‘ you. and bring an action, as you did I'll take proceedings against you." Defendant replied, offence ; why should you annoy me ." Defendant against " Yes ymoyll'iblrloatwhelnr„e", I told him, "1 never gave him any o said, " You brought an action against my brother, and I have made up my mind to serve you out. I w ill d o it now, and if you will stand up against me and let me strike you, and you promise not to law me, I'll give you another 101., the same as y ou robbed my brother ou t _ _ . of." I told him that I was not ab l e to stand up against him, as I had not sufficient health and strength to do so. Mr. Shepherd said, "No, because you are a cur and a coward !" He also said, "I was a thief, and thief." I made use of some words in reply, but I decline making use of them in this place. Mr. Ballantine (addressing his worship) —I demand the witness to tell the whole that occurred between the parties. Mr. Fitch—l decline stating the words I made use of; they were not sufficient to induce Mr. Shepherd to strike me. The language lasted more than half an hour. Tie called me a —, and other filthy words, using threats and saying, "Whenever you go out of that door, I'll smash you. If Ido not do it to-day, I'll do it some day or other. I'll watch an opportunity to do it, I will." It was then near 4 o'clock, and I said, "Now, Mr. Shepherd, I'm going ; venture to strike Me, and pro secute you." He said he did not care, he should only be fined, and he could pay that. I was then proceeding to wards the door, when Mr. Shepherd said," Poor begor ' " alluding to me. I said I was not so poor as those who bragged so much about their riches. He then said to me, "Bow did you get your money ?" I answered, "By my own exertions in part." Mr. Shepherd said, " Yes ; and the rest from your wife ?" I replied, "Yes, that's true, but I married a young woman and a lady, but you mar ried an old woman for athousand pounds." Defendant, then in a passion, said, es _ your eyes, I'll smash you." He then rushed at me and struck me on the face. Mr. Combe—What sort of a blow was it ? . - Mr. Fitch—lt was a heavy one, and on the right side of my face, with his double fists. I fell against the glass door of the shop and broke three squares of glass, and slipped off the step with one foot. While I was in that position I had no power to protect myself, and he then caught me by the head and struck M 9 several times. My hat was then off. Mr. Giinbe —Did he repeat the blows then ? Mr. Fitch.—Yes, sir ; and I put my hands up over my face to protect it from his blows. Finding he could not reach my face, he struck me on the back of the head six or seven times. I got away from him, and came im mediately to this court for a summons, when Mr. A'Beckett and the officers saw the marks of violence. I told the defendant I should prosecute him, when he exclaimed, " If you say that I'll serve you so again, and I'll serve you out whenever I meet you." Mr. Ballantine—Do you profess to tell the whole truth, which you are sworn to do ? Mr. Fitch—l think so, as far as necessary to my case. I have spoken all the truth, with one exception, and that I decline to state. Mr. Ballautine—?lave you stated all the provocation you gave to Mr. Shepherd ? Mr. Fitch—All that I think is necessary to the case. I did not provoke him sufficient to commit such an out rage on me. Mr. Ballantine—Did you not tell Mr. Shepherd that he was a receiver of stolen goods, and a thief ? Mr. Fitch—No, I did not. Mr. Blllantine—Now, did you not call him a receiver? Mr. Fitch—Not exsctly that. Mr. Ballantine—What did you say before Mr. Shep herd struck you ? Mr. Fitch—l decline to answer that question, as that took place 20 minutes before he struck me. I understand a civil action will be brought against me if I state the words imputed to me in this court. Mr. Ciarkson—l think that you had better state all that occurred between you, as it must be put in evidence. Mr. Ballantine—Now, Mr. Fitch, what were the aggravating words you made use of to Mr. Shepherd ? Mr. Fitch—He first called me a thief ; I answered, " I am not a thief, and I never bought stolen goods over the counter." Mr. Bal'antiue—Now, sir, what did you mean by th ►t ? Mr. Fitch—l don't give any meaning. I said to him, "If I am a thief, I never bought stolen goods across my counter." Mr. Ballantine—Did you mean to convey the mean ing that Mr. Shepherd bought stolen goods ? Mr. Fitch—l shall not say what I intended to convey. Mr. Cmnbe—You really should answer those ques tions diractly. lam sure Mr. Clarkson will agree with me on that point. Mr. Clarkson—Yes, sir. I advise him to answer the question simply and truly. Mr. Fitch, you had better state what your meaning was when you used those words. Mr. Fitch—Well ; he called me a thief, and I called him a receiver. It was mere abuse, without any par ticular meaning. Mr. Ballantine—And you really mean that Mr. Shep herd was a receiver of stolen goods ? Mr. Fitch—No, sir ; it was only words said in " chaff." Mr. Ballantine—Did you know Mr. Shepherd's wife ? Mr. Fitch—Yes, sir, for many years ; and I have a great respect for her. Mr. Ballantine—Then, why say anything about her age ? A gallant gentleman like you should not have made such an assertion, as that was likely to offend her husband. (Laughter.) Mr. Fitch—l do not mean any insult, and I regret very much calling Mr. Shepherd a receiver of stolen goods. • Mr. Ballantine—l think after that, your worship, that the case ought to end here ; aud, if Mr. Shepherd would take my advice, he will apologise to Mr. Fitch for the assault he committed upon him. He certainly was not justified in doing that, although he received great provocation. Mr: Combe—l should suggest an amicable arrange ment between the parties, and that Mr. Shepherd should find two sureties, besides entering into his own recogu . sance, to keep the peaca towards Mr. Fitch. Both parties had used provoking language, but Mr. Shepherd had been guilty of an assault. Mr. Ballantine (to complainant)—Did you not say that the watch about you was purchased by you of Mr. Shepherd, and that he bought it of a man he did not know ? Mr. Fitch—Yes ; I said something about that. Mr. Ballantine—When you said that, did you not convey a meaning that he had bought it knowing it to be stolen ? _ -- lir. ' , - Fitch—No I did not ; an d I s h ou ld b e sorry to say Mr. Shepherd bought stolen property. Mr. Ballantine (addressing the magistrate)—l really think, sir, that after what has fallen from Mr. Fitch, that this case ought to terminate at this stage of the proceedings. My client has acted foolishly, and he is ready to promise that he will neither use bad words or assault Mr. Fitch again. The words on both sides were abusive and irritating, and were th e cause o f the assau l t. When Mr. Fitch alluded to the lady being old, and that Mr. Shepherd had dealings in stolen goods, in the mo ment of irritation he was induced to strike, and now he was extremely sorry for it, and was willing to apologise. After a short consultation between the learned counsel and the solicitors on both sides, Mr. Clarkson said—l have known Mr. Fitch and his late father many years as highly respectable gentlemen, and I should recommend the arrangement to be entered into. It was very unfortunate that such words should be interchanged between them, and that Mr. Shepherd's temper should have got the better of his judgment. I, therefore, consent to stop the case, on Mr. Shepherd finding two sureties to keep the peace, and enter into his own recognisance not to annoy or assault Mr. Fitch again. Mr. Combs—l am very glad the matter is so arranged Is Mr. Shepherd prepared with bail ? Mr. Wethall, his solicitor, and Mr. Creswick, his part ner, here stepped forward, and were each bound over in the sum of 501.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 23. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. IN RE J. W. P. GRAHAM. The bankrupt, describing himself as an insurance broker, of King's-road, Chelsea, applied for his certificate. Mr. Pennell, the official assignee, in his report on the case stated that the bankrupt commenced his accounts in 1847, when he had no capital. He now owed 4,0921., without one penny in the shape of assets. His profits had been 3,180/. ; trade charges, 1,9731. ; personal ex penses, 4,907/. ; law costs, 651. ; losses, 4321. The bankrupt did not appear to have done any business since the early part of 1854, but he had been endeavouring to arrange with his creditors by offering them a trifling composition, and, having failed in that, he was compelled to seek the protection of the court. The trade and per sonal expenditure had exceeded the profits by 3,7001. The books had been well kept, and the balance struck at the end of each year. The annual balance-sheets not only showed that he had been insolvent since 1849, but that his deficiency had been always increasing. The ac counts now prepared for the court had been compiled from the books, and were corroborated thereby. Mr. Chidley, for the bankrupt, said the case was one in which he could only ask for a common certificate. His position had been seriously injured by the failure of the Sunderland Joint Stock Bank in 1851. His Honour observed that he had begun with nothing, and had ended 4,000/. worse than nothing. U❑der writers and stockbrokers were generally very reckless in their expenditure, being persons fond of ostenta tion and display. They had no stock to give up ; and it usually happened, as in this case, that they bad col lected all the debts that could be got in. Having done all this, the bankrupt now came and asked for his dis charge. He ought rather to have gone to the Insolvent Debtors' Court. There was no pretence that the failure had resulted from loss or misfortune. His expenses had just doubled his profit 3 ; and it was said that he had been " struggling on." The simple meaning of that much abused term was, that he went on contracting debts as long as he could find anybody to trust him. Had the bankrupt been opposed, his certificate would have been suspended for a lengthened period. As it was, having regard to the time he had been before the court, and the good book-keeping, the certificate must be sus pended for six months from the last examination (28th September lost) ; when granted to be of the lowest class. In the meantime he would have protection from arrest. LORD MAYOR'S COURT. (&fore the Recorder.) MALL V. WINBURN- COMMITMENT FOR PERJURY. This was au action to recover the amount of an attor ney's bill. In the course of the case defendant was called and swore positively he never received any bill, but on this point he was distinctly contradicted. The jury said they were perfectly satisfied, and the plaintiff's counsel need not address them, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff. His Lordship said that he had not the slightest doubt that the defendant had committed deliberate perjury, and he should therefore order him to be detained in cus tody. His Lordship observed that the new law gave the power for either the plaintiff or defendant to be examined as witnesses in their own cases, and if they ca me for ward and swore falsely, they must take the consequences MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (More Mr. Serjeaut Adams, the Assistaut.Judge, a the Guildhall, Westminster.) George Gray, 21, and James King, 21, labourers, pleaded guilty, and James Quin, not guilty, to an in dictment, charging them with stealing a live tame g an der and two live tame geese, value 205., the property of Henry Tarton. The robbery took place at Shepherd's-bush, and it was proved by the evidence that Gray got over a wall into the prosecutor's yard, and having picked up the geese, handed them to some persons outside, a female servant stating that she distinctly heard more than one voice on the outside of the gate. The whole of the pri soners were afterwards seen together at two public houses, and at one which Quin was in the habit of using after he had done managing the business of his mother, he went to sleep, being the worse for drink, on a bag containing one of the geese in question. The police hearing of the robbery, went and woke him up, and took from the bag in question a goose, which was quite warm, and which was distinctly sworn to be the property of the prosecutor. _ _ Mr. Itibton, for the prisoner, made a powerful address, and contended that his client must be acquitted, there being no count in the indictment for receiving, and the only offence that he seemed to have committed was, when in a state of intoxication, to have taken the feathers of the dead goose to lie upon. He concluded by calling witnesses for the prisoner, one of whom had known him as an honest man for ten years, and the other a warrant officer at llammersmith police court for eight years. The latter witness said all that he knew a g ainst the prisoner was that he sometimes got drunk, and that he had served two warrants upon him for bastard children. The Assistant-Judge having summed up at some length, left the case to the jury, who, after a few minutes consideration, found a verdict of Not Guilty. The Assistant-Judge said Mr. Ribton had a better knowledge of the jury than he had, and if they had taken a common sense view of the case, they must have found the prisoner guilty, for when before the magistrate, the other prisoners stated that Quin had been with them and had lent the knife to kill the geese with. The sentence of the court was that the other prisoners be kept in the House of Correction fur four calendar months, with hard labcur. Mr. Ribton—The verdict proves that an Euglish jury is the great palladium of British liberty. The Assistant-Judge—You have done your duty well, Mr. Ribton. Be content, and do not try to juitify the verdict. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Nov. 23. MANSION-HOUSE.—Mr. James Worthington Maude, and Mr. Edwin Whitby, appeared before the Lord Mayor upon a summons charging them with having unlawfully conspired together, by divers pre. tonces, to cheat and defraud Messrs. Kemp and Clay, bill broken! and bankers, of .Abchurch-lane, of sums of money amounting to nearly 8001. Mr. Parry appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Sleigh attended for Maude; Mr. Poland appeared for Whitby. There had been several examinations, and the sub joined is the substance of the evidence adduced. Mr. Parry, in opening the case for the prosecution, said he appeared on behalf of Messrs. Kemp and Ciay, who carried on a highly -respectable 'business as bill-brokers and bankers in the City, and the charge against the de fendants was that of having conspired together, by false representations, to induce the prosecutors to discount certain bills, stating that they were bona fide trade bills, and that the firm of the traders consisted of at least five or six partners, who would be jointly and severally liable to the prosecutors for the payment of the amount of the bills as they became due. It appeared that Maude was the last representative of the very highly respectable firm of Covington and Co., who, it was well' known, had formerly carried on an extensive and lucrative busi ness in the City. Maude had represented to the prose cutors" that the several members of that eminent firm were members of it at the time the bills were dis counted, which representation• gave to the bills an amount of credit which would not have been accorded had it been known that Maude alone was the represen tative of that firm. The learned counsel then charged the defendants with obtaining discounts to a large amount, and with conspiring, the one as master and the other as clerk, to give a false colour to the transactions by re presenting the bills in the nature of bona fide trade bills, whereas they were accommodation bills and of no value. By reason of these representations, Messrs. Kemp and Clay had sustained damage to the amount of between 7001. and 8001. It was highly essential in this great city that transactions of a mercantile character should be based upon the strictest honour and integrity, or there would be an end of all confidence in connection with dealings of a business nature. Yesterday Mr. Sleigh addressed Alderman Wire (who presided in the absence of the Lord Mayor), and at consid era bl e l engt h conten d e d that his client Maude became acquainted with the prosecutors in the legitimate tn v i e loe r y gcrh l o a au r r g ug e de way of business, who had discounted bills for him to a ex ofo t r e r n otb t h , tea a ie n nh d ian s rg u e bm o i f tt e d that there was not only y conspiracy, but also that entirely f4iled. The le g r ed one against Ma t ing it was quite apparent thaten by false pretences had counsel concluded by Bay ed prosecutors were yin e after receiving hun dredsof discount, in the r e ions would come for ward proceeding of pounds of hiin in the a ria : a therefore trusted that expectation that his wealthy by evidence to ward and settle their claim. accepted Maude would be at once discharg e d. Mr. Poland addressed the magistrate on he Whitby, who, he submitted, was shown b on behalf of have acted as the clerk of Maude, and that the bills for his master. No case had been proved against him, and be was therefore entitled to be dis charged. • Ald er man Wire—Upon the evidence as, it st an d , I q am clearly of opinion that no conspiracy h as been ' proved, and that no case against Whitby has b een made out. With regard to Maude, I think, upon the evi dence of Mr. Kemp, there is a case that I ought to Bend for further inquiry, for making representations and ob taining money with an intent to defraud. The summons against Whitby was then dismissed, and Maude was committed for trial, bail being taken for his appearance, himself in 2001. and one surety in 2001. BOW-STREET.—The court was yesterday by a concourse of gentleme n , t a ki ng an interes t ic:opwardisehd affairs, eager to h ear the resu lt o f a c harge pr eferred by Mr. George Hugget, of Beaufort-buildings, William -IJoher, of Clement's-lane, for assaulting_ n e t s. while acting as inspector of votes at the election of v trYmen and auditors under the Metropolis Improvement Act. upon n I against Mr... m The ease for the complairant having been stated by asaacte:ie7t; o V n e o s f tr r y igh C t l , erk of St. Clement Danes. Mr. Lewis submitted that the case, turning entirely 1 was altogether removed from the magistrat e ', j urisdiction. Complainant had rejected defendant's vote on the ground of an alleged arrear of church rates, though it was well known that the default was not of the kind contemplated by the act, 'the de -1 fendant' having a bona fide obj ec ti on to the rate, and the question being at present before the Ecclesiastical Court. A considerable number of voters having been excluded from exercising their electoral privilege on the sa me ground, and the candidates whom they supported having thus been defeated, an application had beg,, made to the Court of Queen's Bench for a , mandamus, or d er i ng the churchwardens to hold a fresh electio n . A rule nisi the whole question wou ld b e had been granted, and thus WAR-OFFICE, Nov. 23. 2d.

Country Markets. LIVERPOOL —Nov. 23. Only a small attendance to-day, and a very limited de. mand for wheat, although holders reduced their preten sions 2d to 3d per 701bs. Flour met a slow sale, and again the turn in favour of the buyer. Oats and oatmeal quite neglected, and ld per 451bs and 6d per load cheaper. Bar. ley, beans, and peas were held for full prices, but few sales could be made. Indian corn opened extremely dull with Belle's, at 46s to 46s 3d per qr. for mixed American, but, improving as the market went on, closed buyers at 433 6d per 480 lbs. WAKEFIELD—Nov. 23. The market was dull, and wheat sold slowly, fine sam- ples at a reduction of ls, and other kinds at 2s per quarter cheaper than last Friday. Barley also in limited demand, at a decline of ls.

BRISTOL SUGAR—Noy. 23. We are not aware of a single transaction this week, the trade declining to increase their stocks, and prices are of course purely nominal. In refi ners ' produce scarcely any business has been transacted, and to effect sales 2s to 3s per cwt. lower prices would have to be submitted to. In rum there is a steady business doing at firm rates. COAL MARKE' Prloes of Coal per ton at t' :T.—Nov. 23. ,he close of the market. s. d.
