fourtbWilition FRANCE. (FROM OUR. CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. There is not an honest Frenchman in the land whose cheeks are not burning with shame at the infamy of tho National Assembly declaring, by solemn votes on Saturday, that the Pepe shall have carte blanche to murder, imprison, exile, confiscate, and oppress, under protection of the French legions sent to Rome on the lying pretence of defending Roman liberty. And no wonder that Frenchmen hang the head with humiliatiois, fur never, never did legisla ture of any nation give such an audacious disavowal of its own previous acts, cast such a stain on the country's honour, or commit such monstrous iniquity towards a friendly people. In this deplorable business, however, President Bonaparte figures most pitiably. He is personally insulted and disgraced ; branded as a foolish mad cap.l whose solemn acts are treated as of no account ; scoffed, jeered, kicked ,humiliated , a s not onl y no Prime Minister of a great nation, but no ma n with the slightest sense of his own dignity was before submitted to. Oh ! how the shadow of the Napoleon which haunts the Invalides must have started with astonishment, and his eyes have gleamed fierce with wrath at seeing his degenerate nephew, the unworthy bearer of his own great name, submit to have France so humiliated, and he himself so dishonoured ! But " out of evil cometh good ;" and whilst we weep with the oppressed and betrayed Romans, and express indignation at the atrocity of the French Govern ment, we have at least the satisfaction of knowing that Prince Bonaparte has henceforward rendered himself perfectly harmless in the land, and sunk himself to the contemptible position of the baffled and ridiculous conspirator of Strasburg and Boulogne, from which his election to the Presidency drew him. In consenting to allow Thiers to treat with contumely his letter to the Aide-de camp; Ney, and in permitting his Mi nisters to advocate from the tribune a policy of which he notoriously disapproved, he has voluntarily stripped himself of the prestige whi ch his name, and his almost miraculous election , gave him in the eyes of the gullible multitude. He is no longer an object of dread to the Republicans. His schemes of esta blishing an empire are no longer to be feared. Any prolongation even of his Presidency need no longer to b 3 apprehended. He is henceforth a stick in the hankie of his Ministers and the majority of the As sembly—a dog to fetch and carry, and be spurned and kicked at will. Nay more ; he cannot even boast of being President of the Republic in aught but in name, as the power which the Constitution confides to him, and for the exercise of which it makes him responsible in liberty, fortune, and life, has been audaciously, and in the presence of all, taken away. The man in truth is now politically a nonentity—he is politically dead. Although the majority of the Assembly appear by its recent vote to be as compact as heretofore, the truth is that it has received a shock from which it can never recover ; and it is certain that it will very shortly fall to pieces. Its dissolution will be a bless ing to the country, inasmuch as it may probably avert a sanguinary insurrection. A more abominable and unnatural coalition never existed ; it consists of parties whose principles are as wide as the poles asunder, and destructive of each other, and has no other object than that of securing to itself place, power, privilege, and of maintaining a system of taxa tion so iniquitously devised as to cast nearly the whole burden on the toiling people. I hope that in England you place no confidence in France with respect to the Turkish question. If so, you are doomed to grievous disappointment. Beyond a milk and watery note, and perhaps the sending of a few ships to share in any demonstration which may be made by the English fLet, expect not France to go. Iler Government is too selfish, too timid, too traitorous to the Republic and to the people, even to think of assuming a bold and becoming attitude to wards the Russian Autocrat. As for engaging in war, should one ensue, you might as well expect her to fight fur the moon. It is rot under a Louis Bona• parte, a Barret, and a Thiers, that she will consent to fire a shot or spend a sous for a cause of chivalry and generosity. Has not her Government need of almost every man of her vast army to overawe the population at home ? And are not the few troops she sends abroad destined to slaughter nascent Republics, and end in extinguish ing the liberty of foreign nations ? The clouds which have so long hung over the political horizon have not cleared up; they seem, on the contrary, to become blacker and heavier every day. The present state of things cannot last—it can net. It is wearing away the vital forces of the nation as consumption wears away the human frame. It is filling every heart with hatred, every mind with desp :cadency. All wish to see it overthrown; but, strange to say, scarcely any flare to :hasten it down fal, as it is feared that its destruction, though ine iitcible, will be the signal fur the unloosing of all r e passions of faction—perhaps for the drawing of the sword of civil war. Ali ! tremendous is the responsibility which weighs on the moo who have brought things to the crisis in which they stand; who have Ferrevedirhe pure and holy Revolution of February; who have poisoned the stream that was declared to give life and hope to the 11.1 f starving my/lids of this wreteLed land ; who have :nade another revolution inevitable, and done uttnr.t to render it implacable and as sangui n,ry as the terrible '93 : vast is their responsibility, but let them bear it, and let all its consequences fall on them. Rumours of a change of Ministry continue to prevail. It is morally certain that the Cabinet, as at present constituted, cannot possibly hold together long, and the probability is that it will be replaced by one in which Theirs and Mole, and their set will be predominant. Tant mieux, a few months rule of such men would bring things to a crisis, and, if I mistake net, so disgust the population with their faction and their doctrines as to win uni versal favour to the Republic, the only form of government henceforth possible in France. In financial circles there is a talk of a loan being shorty rui,ed by the Government. I entreat your readers to have nothing to do with anything of the kind. It would be treason to liberty to lend money to the present Government of France ; and it would be folly besides, for the financial embarrassments are so fearfully great that it will require nothing short of a mirc!e to avoid national bankruptcy. BLEU-BLANC-ROUGE. Count. Charles Berando de Pralormo presented to the President of the Republic, yesterday, letters from his Sovereign, accrediting him as Envoy Extraor dinary aid Minister-Plenipotentiary of Sardinia in Fra.xe. Ou Sunday Mr. Richard Rush delivered to the President of the Republic letters from his Government, terminating the mission he filled in France as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni potentiary of the United States of America. SPAIN. MADRID, OCT. 18.—It appears to be decided that at the opening of the Cortes there will neither be a royal sitting nor a Speech from the Throne. This resolution has been adopted with the double object of saving the time usually spent in discussions on the Address in answer to the Speech, and of avoiding touching upon the very delicate and difficult question of the state of the relations with England, the renewal of those relations not having yet taken place, notwith rat:ding the anxious desire of the Government to re est.:Wish them on their former footing with the Government of Queen Victoria. AUSTRIA. Sixty thousand Honveds have been incorporated in those r9giments of infantry which have remained faithful to the Emperor. The Austrian army of war is to amount to 450,000 men, well equipped and thoroughly trained for war. The Vienna papers announce the arrival of General Haynau at Gratz. No executions have taken place in Hongary since that officer left the country. But the Wiener Zeitung publishes a sentence condemning one Paul Sontag to be imprisoned for two years, for having in Oa. last assisted General Bern in escaping from Vienna. Several changes in the various depart ments of military Government are mentioned by the Austrian papers. Count Gyulay, the present Secre tary -at-War, is to vacate his post and enter upon a military Government in Italy ; General Dahlen is appointed to the War-office ; Count Schlick is to have the government of Hungary, and General d'Aspre is to command at Cora. The Barons Kilbeck and SchOntals are mentioned as members of the German Central Commission.

THE SUN, COPENHAGEN, OCT. 18.—Fadrelandet says that the Denmark negotiator, M. Von Pechlin, has had an interview with the Prussian Minister for Foreign Affairs, in which the Ambassador Extraordinary at the Danish Court, W. Von Werther, who had just returned from Copenhagen, took a part.—Hansburgh Borsenhalle, Oct. 20. THE NETERLANDS. On Saturday evening and Sunday morning the Ling had long conferences with the Councillor of State, Chief of the Cabinet. On Monday, at two o'clock, his Majesty held a Council, at which Prince Frederick and Prince Henry were present. In the evening a Council of Ministers assembled. It is con chided from these conferences that the Ministerial crisis approaches its termination. at full rates. Considerable sales of wool have taken place, but without any change in the quotations. LEEDS, TUESDAY. —Rather dull market, and less doing in the woollen trade generally. lhe fineness of the weather has checked, in some ddgree, the sale of heavy goods ; and there is not much doing among the shippers. Prices, however, keep steady, and stocks low. THE FOOD OF A LIFETIME. Take seventy years of the life of an epicure, beyond which age many of that class of bon vivants arrive, and even above eighty, still in the full enjoyment of degustation, &c. (For example, Talleyrand, Camba ceres,:Lord Septon, &c.) If the first of the said epicures, when entering on the tenth spring of his extraordinary career, had been placed on an eminence—say, the top of Primrose-hill, and had had exhibited before his infantine eyes the enormous quantity of food his then insignificant person would destroy before he attained his seventy-first year—first, he would believe it must be a delusion ; then, secondly, he would inquire where the money could come from to purchase so much luxurious extravagance ? 13ut here I shall leave the pecuniary expenses on one side, which a man of wealth can easily surmount when required. So now, dearest, for the extraordinary fact; imagine on the top of the above-mentioned hill a rush-light of a boy just entering his tenth -yea!, surrounded with the recherché provision and deli cacies claimed by his rank and wealth, taking merely the medium consumption of his daily meals. By closely calculating he would be surrounded and gazed at by the following number of quad rupeds, birds, fishes, &c.—by no less than 30 oxen, 200 sheep, 100 calves, 200 lambs, 50 pigs; in poultry, 1,200 fowls, 300 turkeys, 150 geese, 400 ducklings, 263 pigeons, 1,400 partridges, pheasants, and grouse.; 600 woodcocks and snipes ; 600 wild ducks, widgeon and teal ; 450 plovers, ruffes, and reeves ; 800 quails, ortolans, and dotterels, and a few guillemots and other foreign birds; also 500 hares and rabbits, 43 deer, 120 Guinea fowl, 10 peacocks, and 360 wild fowl. In the way of fish, 120 turbot, 140 sal~xo.n, 120 cod, 260 t rou t, 400 mac k ere l, 300 whitings, 800 soles and slips, 400 flounders, 400 red mullet, 200 eels, 150 haddocks, 400 herrings, 5,000 smelts, and some hundred thousand of those delicious silvery white-bait, besides a few hundred species of fresh-water fishes. In shell-fish, 20 turtle, 30,000 oysters,l,soo lobsters or crabs, 300,000 prawns, shrimps, sardines, and anchovies. In the way of fruit, about 5001bs. of grapes, 3501b5. of pineapples, 600 peaches, 1,400 apricots, 240 melons, and some hundred thou sand plums, greengages, apples, pears; and some millions of cherries, strawberries, raspberries, cur rants, mulberries, and an abundance of other small fruit, viz., walnuts, chestnuts, dry figs, and plums. In vegetables of all kind 5,5,475 pounds weight, and about 2,4341 pounds of butter, 684 pounds of cheese, 21,000 eggs, 180 ditto plovers. Of bread, 41 tons, half a ton of salt and pepper, near 2f tons of sugar; and, if he had happened to be a covetous boy, he could have formed a fortification or moat round the said hill with the liquids he would have to par take of to facilitate the digestion of the above-named provisions, which would amount to no less than 11,6781 gallons, which may be taken as follows :- 49 hogsheads of wine, 1,3681 gallons of beer, 584 gallons of spirits, 342 liquor, 2,3941 gallons of coffee, cocoa, tea, &c., and 304 gallons of milk, 2,736 gallons of water, all of which would actually protect him and his anticipated property from any young thief or fellow-schoolboy, like Alexandre Dumas had protested Dante and his immense treasure from the pirates in his island of Monte Christo. You now, dearest, fancy I am exaggerating in every way ; but, to convince you, and to prevent you puzzling your brain to no purpose, I also: enclose you a medium scale of the regular meals of the day, from which I have taken my basis, and in sixty years it amounts to no less than 33 tons weight of meat, farinaceous food and vegetables, &c., out of which I have named in detail the probable delicacies that would be selected by an epicure through life.—Seyer's Modern Housewife. -- - TERMINATION OF TUB LONG VACATION.—To day (Wednesday) the long vacation terminates, when the several law offices will be opened for filing declarations and other matters in actions brought in the superior courts. From the 10th of August to the 24th of October there is a cessation of law proceedings, save the issuing of writs of summons at the commencement of a cause and executions on judgment signed. Term begins on Friday week. The retirement of Lord Denman on account of ill-health is again rumoured in the profession. COMMERCIAL BANK OF LONDON. A special meeting of this company was held at the offices, in Lothbury, yesterday, when Mr. Hunter was added to the direction. The power of awakening and keeping alive a general interest is ono talent among many which may be envied. Every richly-gifted person has received with his rare gifts the obligation to make them effective in the widest possible circle. If he does not do so he is hoard ing up his treasure, whether it bo gold or talents.— Eliza Cook' Journal. LAW IN TEL LIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 23. (Before Mr. Commissioner EVANS ) An application was made under the new Act on a petition for adjudication (which is now substituted for a fiat) against a trader who had been in business for four months only. The solicitor for the petitioning creditor called the attention of the Court to the 55th clause, by which the persons therein enumerated are to be deemed traders, liable to become bankrupt, and in which there is no restriction as respects the period of their carry ing on business. The 89th section, however, enacts that the petition shall be in the form mentioned in the schedule M, supported by affidavits ; and in reference to the form, it will be found to apply only to traders who have resided or carried on business for six months imme diately preceding the date of the petition within the district of the court in which the petition is presented. In the case before the Court the trader had only been in business for four months. The COMMISSIONER inquired whether the trader had resided within the district for six months preced ing the petition, and being answered in the affirma tive, he directed the petition to be altered by the in sertion of that fact, and the omission of the statement as to carrying on business. The SOLICITOR stated it was important to know whether his Honour would have adjudicated in case the bankrupt had not resided or carried on business for the six months within the district. The COMMISSIONER refused, however, to give any opinion, saying he would not take upon himself to decide more than he was compelled under the Act. The alteration was accordingly made, without any decision of this important question. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT OLD COURT. THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.—In the course of yes terday the foreman of the grand jury, accompanied by several of his brother jurors, entered the court and applied to the Recorder to be permitted to avail themselves of the services of the Solicitor to the Trea sury, as they were about to enter upon an investiga tion of this unfortunate case. They conceived that he would facilitate their labours. The RECORDER immediately acquiesced, and in order that the fact should be put upon record, directed that Mr. Hayward, who attended from the office of the Solicitor of the Treasury, should be sworn as a witness, and his name placed on the back of the indictment. Being familiar with the evidence Mr. Hayward would doubtless be able to marshal it in such a way as to save much time, and yet lead to the fullest inquiry. lie must not, however, inter fere with the course of investigation which the grand jury might think proper to pursue. The Foreman thanked his Lordship, and withdrew with Mr. Hayward. The trial of the accused is expected to commence on Thursday, and not to terminate before Saturday. e e c e ta o b f ly in d sp re e s e s t e o d r POLICE INTELLIGENCE. man, 6 M 9 on years day o f W i ll ia m age, holdings, arvz' CLERKENWELL. t a he re o s ffi p of nuisances, &c., for the parish of St. Pancras, was placed at the bar before Mr. yrw T h . t , charged by Jane Williamson Collins, a girl between eighteen and nineteen years of age, w i th having violated her person. The prosecutrix, who was much excited, said that her parents were in respectable business in the country. They had sent her to L on d on, w h ere she had been in the service of a Mrs. Anderson, of Judd street, Brunswick-square, whom she had served for upwards of twelve months, and left with a good character. She was then living under the protection of Mrs. Kidner, her godmother, of No. 17, Bruns wick-grove, Camden-town. On Thursday morning last, between ten and eleven o'clock, she was at her godmother's house, when the prisoner came there, in order, as he said, to examine the sewers, which were out of repair. He inquired of witness whether she had a situation. She said she had not. He then said that his housekeeper was very ill in the hospital, and he required some one to take care of his place; and would she ( witness) undertake the situation, and come that evening ? She told him she would consult with her godmother, and he left the place. She informed her godmother, who said she had better not go that evening, and on the following day her godmother's landlord was spoken to on the subject, and was asked if he knew the pri soner to be a respectable man. The landlord said he had no doubt as to his respectability, or he would not have been appointed to a responsible situation in the parish. The prisoner called again and asked why she did not come on the night before. She replied that she would come that evening at six o'clock. She went at seven o'clock, when he complained that she was very late. He occupied two rooms in the upper part of an unfinished house in Hamilton-street, Camden town. lime were beds and bedsteads in ITALY. The Messaggere of Turin having been prosecuted by the Apostolic Nuncio for an article representing Pius IX. as " affecting a hypocritical mildness, pass ing his time at Gaeta in saying mass and having his feet kissed by Sovereigns, who are still more cor rupted and treacherous than he," the jury found him guilty, but his counsel having pleaded prescription, as three months had passed since the publication of the articles, the plea was held to be good, and the Messaggere acquitted. THE ATTEMPTED PARRICIDE AT CHISWICK. HAMMERSMITH POLICE COURT—(THIS DAY). Our readers will doubtlet s recollect the unfor tunate young sailor, Henry Bathurst Monkhouse, who is charged with attempting to murder his father, and who has been twice remanded from this office in consequence of the dangerous state in which his father has been placed from the wounds he received. This being the day appointed by Mr. Beadon, the magistrate of this district, for the bringing up again of the prisoner, s ome anxiety was manifested i n the ne i g hbourhood of the police-court, and a crowd was collected in the neighbourhood of its precincts long before the time appointed for the examination. In consequence of the lamented indisposition of Mr. Beadon, Mr. Paynter presided, and upon that gentleman taking his seat at half past two o'clock, the prisoner was placed at the bar. He bore the same dogged appearance that he did on his being brought before the magistrate on Wednes day last. He looked round the court, apparently for the purpose of endeavouring to recognise some face with which he was familiar, and upon discovering his brother John, who had been in court some time previous to the prisoner being placed at the bar, he instantly turned his head away from . him, and ap peared anxious to avoid his notice. Upon the prisoner being placed at the bar, Mr. Inspector Jealok stated that he had received a certificate from the medical gentlemen who were attending Mr. Monkhouse, the father of the prisoner, Mr. Halford and Mr. Bowling, and that certificate was to the following effect : "We hereby certify that the wound in Mr. Monk house's throat is healing, and his general health im proving, but he is not nearly sufficiently recovered to appear at the police-court. Signed, "J. BOWLING. " EDWD. HALFORD. "Hammersmith, Oct. 24th, 1849." I • Mr. PATISTER, after reading the certificate, observed hat there was an erroneous opinion very generally prevailing in the neighbourhood of Hammersmith and Chiswick, that Mr. Monkhouse, the father of the prisoner, could, if he thought proper, refuse to appear to prosecute his son, such a notion being totally without foundation, and it must be understood.that in a case like the present the law was imperative, and would compel the attendance of Mr. Monkhouse, sea., at that Court when he was sufficiently recovered. The prisoner was then remanded to Wednesday next, and upon the application of Mr. John Monk house, the brother of the accused, the Magistrate gave him permission to have an interview with his unfortunate brother. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY PRCCEEDINGS AGAINST THE COUNTESS OF LANDS• FELT'S (LOLA MONTES) BAlL.—This afternoon, Messrs. Davies, father and son, attorneys of Warwick-street, Regent•street, against whom summonses were issued a few weeks ago, calling upon them to show cause why they should not pay over to the Crown the sum of 5001. each, being the amount of their recognizance for the appearance of Mrs. Heald, Countess of Lansfeldt, to answer a charge of bigamy, preferred against her in August last, were in attendance to answer the case against them. Mr. Bodkin, who :appeared for the Messrs. Davies, said he applied here to-day on behalf of the two gentle men who, some time ago, became surety for the attend ance of Mrs. Heald, Countess of Lansfeldt, to meet a charge of bigamy. In consequence of her failing to appear the recognizAnces were directed ,to be estreated. His object now was to have the case go to the Quarter Sessi ,ns, and he thought it wouli be acting quite ministerial of the magistrate if he directed a distress warrant to be issued against the defendants, not that they were dezirous of evading the payment of the 1,0001, but rather that they should have time to appeal against any dtcision that might be given against them. After some further remarks of not the least interest or importance, Mr. BINGHAM directed an order to be issued, and as the amount of bail was over the sum stated in the Act, they wculd have the power to appeal at the Quarter Sessions. Notice, of appeal was then given, and the parties le: ,he court. IRELAND. THE KILLOUGHY TRAGEDY. - INQUEST ON THE SECOND POLICEMAN. (From the Leinster Express.) In consequence of the death of Sub constable James Gleeson of wounds received in the affray at Killoughy, on Sunday week, an inquest was held on view of the body at the Court-house, Tullatnore, on Monday, before James Dillon, Esq., senior coroner of the King's County. After the examination of several witnesses, The CORONER addressed the jury, when they re tired for about fifteen minutes, and returned the following verdict:— " We'find that on the 14th day of October Sub Con stable James Gleeson, while in the execution of his duty, was wilfully, feloniously, and maliciously fired at by an armed party, to jurors unknown, whereby he received a fracture, and a mortal gun-shot wound, of which he languished; and from the effect of the aforesaid gun shot wound died in the King's County Infirmary, Tullamore, on the 19th of October inst. We further sew, that John and Joseph Keyes, then and there, were feloniously aiding, assisting, and abetting, while the said James Gleeson was being killed and mur dered." Corrstable Balfour is not expected to recover. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The arrival of the Cambria, in the middle of last week, seemed to take a little of the breath out of our market. Since Friday, however, the spinners and manufacturers have gathered up their courage again, and are now demanding higher prices than those of a week ago. The buyers of yarns, however, whether for ship ping or for home consumption, are not inclined to operate on the required terms : some of the merchants, indeed, prefer to resell their stocks rather than export them; and transactions of this nature are taking place. On the whole, extremely little business has been done_ In goods, also, the transactions of the day have been exceedingly limited The home houses are still doing little. The India merchants have hardly been in the market at all in consequence of this being post-day ' and of their mail being daily expecte d ; and the purchases for other foreign markets have been of small amount. The rise in prices is the principal cause of this want of activity. The backward ness of buyers is, however, met with firmness and independence on the part of producers, who, in light articles, are almost without stocks, and in heavy ones are so low in price as to have no fear of any further decline. Although, since the commencement of the present rise, yarns and goods have kept ahead of cotton, yet the position of producers is actually more unfavourable than it was six weeks ago; for, prior to the .sth inst. yarns and goods had been seriously falling in value during some weeks, while, in the same period cotton remained nearly stationary. ROCHDALII, MONDAY.—The flannel market con tinues much the same as it has been for two or three weeks back. The hands are in full employment, and the manufacturers have no stocks on hand. There is very little change in wool, either in price or demand. The manufacturers continue to buy only for immediate use. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The throwing trade of this town is much in the same state as we last reported it, the mills continuing to work full time. In the ma nufacturing department a decided flatness is percepti ble, which is now being felt by the weavers, who find diminished employment for the present. This, however, is nothing unusual at this period of the year. We hear, on the contrary, from Lyons, and the silk circles of Eiberfeld and Crefeld, on the Rhine, that the silk manufacturing trade is very lively. The raw silk market is reported very firm, both here and on the continent. buyers has b een rattle; S numerous, attendance of HUD DERSFIELD, Til mint is erous, but we have not heard of any h eavy sales. the season when we do not expect mu c h t o b e done in wools the re i s a slight declince, and it is acknowledged that the re sults of the sales may be considered to show a lower tendency. HALirAx, SATURDAY.—There has been but a slack attendance in our Piece Hall to-day, and but a few goods were sold. There is, however, a fair mount of business doing to order, and in the warehouses. Prices remain statiouory. Tile yarn trade continues bzisk, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING OCTOBER 24 each room. At half-past nine o'clock she sat down and ate supper with the prisoner, She asked him which room she was to sleep in ? He replied, "In the front room," and said, " there is a turn-up bedstead for you ;" and told her not to lock the door of her t bedroom, as she would be perfectly safe. She, however, did lock the door prior to going to bed. On the following morning she got up early and dressed herself, when she beard somebody at her bedroom-door, which was shaken violently, when she heard the prisoner exclaim, " You d—d suspicious b—h, why did you lock the door ? Get up and prepare breakfast." She opened the door and got breakfast ready. Mr. TYRWIIITT—In spite of what he said to you ? Witness—Yes, sir. He told her to go and order some coke, and fetch a pail of water, and during her absence the prisoner placed and arranged several articles on the table, and when the man brought the coke the prisoner told him that she 'had intended to rob him of the articles on the table, and he persisted in saying that he had found one of his blankets wrapped round her person under her clothes. Mr. TYRWHITT—Wbat were the articles he charged you with attempting to rob him of ? Witness— I.'wo old spoons, two rusty knives, a little tobacco, some sugar, and the blanket. He threatened to 'send for an officer, and to give her into custody, which frightened her very much. When the man had left the house the prisoner seized her by the shoulders, and with violence forced her into his bedroom. She screamed loudly, and resisted him as well as she could, but she became quite faint and helpless, and the prisoner effected his purpose. She added, that she left the prisoner's place, and proceeded to her god mother's house, and communicated all and everything that bad taken place to her, and she (the godmother) called on the prisoner in Hamilton-street, and on Saturday gave him into custody. By Mr. TYRWHITT—I pushed him from me when he seized me. I became insensible. The prisoner said, " You need not be afraid ; I'll not send a policeman after you." I put on my bonnet to leave, and he asked me if I would call and see him on the following night. I swear positively that I never en tertained the least idea or intention to rob the prisoner, and that it is a false charge against me. When leaving the, house all I had in my bag was my comb and brush and my nightgown. Prisoner—Did I not feel under your clothes for the , blanket ? Was not that the reason I felt under your clothes? Witness—You placed the blanket on the table. I never had it. that he would bring her back in an hour, and also, that Mrs. Sanders had been locked up in his house by Mr. Pershence, contrary to her will. The other was the complainant's barmaid, who also swore that the prisoner was detained contrary to her wishes, and she, in consequence, gave her, through a skylight over door, a key that released her. Mr. ELLIOTT here recalled the complainant, who swore positively that the sovereigns had been taken out of the drawer by the prisoner, upon which Mr. Elliott remarked that, without offering any opinion whatever on the case he should send it before a jury, but should take bail, in 401. each, for her appearance at the sessions. The solicitor asked if the bail of the hus band, who was then present, and who was a man of large property, would be taken ? Mr. ELLIOTT replied that he should have no ob jection to take the husband's bail. A new piece of evidence presented itself. The complainant had, according to the evidence of two witnesses, stated when giving the charge, that the fuur sovereigns were the moneys that had been re ceived in the business after Mrs. Sanders had left, whereas, by the book, in which all the moneys re ceived were entered, not more than half that sum could have been so. The complainant denied having made use of such an assertion, but The MAGISTRATE was of opinion he did, and thought that it would be useless to send such a case for trial. There was no chance, he thought, of a conviction, and therefore Mr. Elliott discharged the prisoner. The complainant seemed very much mortified at the result, and declared he should indict the prisoner at the sessions for the felony. The prisoner, upon being discharged, joined her husband, who had been present during the investiga• tion, and who frequently rose from the solicitor's table and held friendly converse with his wife and her friends. The prisoner questioned her, but she adhered to her evidence, which was not at all shaken. Mrs. Mary Kidner, the godmother, confirmed the prosecutrix's evidence. She told her what had hap pened so as to satisfy her mind that an outrage had been perpetrated. She called upon the prisoner with the prosecutrix, when he threatened to give them both into custody on a charge of robbery. Prisoner—Pray, did not the girl threaten that she would cut her throat after she returned to your house ? W itness—Yes ; she was very much excited and frightened at your having threatened to give her into custody on a charge of robbery. The girl bore an excellent character, M. H. Davis, surgeon, of No. 14, Clarendon square, gave evidence to prove that violence had been used towards the prosecutrix, and that a rape had been effected. The investigation, which was commenced just before Mr. Tyrwhitt was about to leave the bench, lasted until a late hour. Considerable interest was manifested, and some of the parish officers were present• Mr. TYRWIIITT, under the circumstances, remanded the prisoner until yesterday, for the production of further evidence, and he was conveyed to prison in the police-van. At about three o'clock yesterday afternoon the prisoner was again placed at the bar, when a solicitor appeared for him, and he was again remanded for a week. 1849.

COCOA.—There is much dulness in the market for West India, and the parcels offered at public sale were nearly all taken in at barely the former value. Orders for foreign come in slowly, and a desire is evinced to sell at 26s to 28s per cwt; there is also a further increase of supply. TEA.—The amount of business concluded in black has been of little moment, and there are sellers upon rather lower terms ; theje is also a further increase of supply.

Pekoe Teas offered at rather lower rates, yet dealers continue to operate with caution. At auction last week 26,000 pkgs of Tea were offered, and the small proportion of only 8,800 found buyers.

Former advanced rates are well supported, and rule from last sale to 3d advance, whilst the chief portion passed has be en actually sold; good and fine sorts above 4s 61 continue to be dealt in with caution, and in some cases the rates obtained are a shade under July. Madras sold freely at a rise on last sales rates of 3d for good and fine, and at the terms of that period for mid and ord. liurpah has been in lively demand, and realised an advance on July rates of 2d to 3d; low sorts have not generally sold above the rates of that time. To-day of 2,250 passed the sale 1,350 were withdrawn, 110 taken in, and 790 sold. Of the total quantity now passed the sale, amounting to 19,033 chts, 8,560 have been withdrawn, and 1,1504 taken in; the actual quantity sold, including some parcels previously taken in and re sold, now amounts to 10,700 chts.

PARKS FOR THE PEorne.—lt is to be hoped that if Smithfield Market be removed, that the space will be immediately converted into a City green. What was formerly necessary when London was much smaller, and from its hitherto long form and narrow width, more healthy in its internal parts than it can be in future (unless care be taken, whilst there is yet time and oppor tunity), is much more necessary now, and the con sequences will show themselves, if precautions be aeglected. One grand benefit to London will be to pre serve an opening into the sides of it, both north and south; and the effects of this will be manifest: it will cause a current of comparatively pure air into the very centre of the metropolis, and also be the means of 0 , pleasant, safe, and short access to open ground, green fields, or walks, parks, or broadways (as may be pro• vided), for the benefit of health and morals of thousands of individuals who otherwise must be deprived of one of the greatest blessings of heaven. On the north side of London the opening that would be beneficial is from Holborn to King's-cross, via Gray's-inn-road, by certain improvements and widenings in sundry places, as oppor tunity would permit, with wide and safe footpaths; thence to Highgate, or so far as might be obtainable , either in progress thereto, or in extent of space as public ground, terminating at nearer distance from King's-cross. The ground from King's-cross to Highgate, by way Of Maiden-lane and Chalk-road, affords facility for the purposes desired, and ten acres of ground eb' tamed hero are more valuable, as a general s.er• vice to the inhabitants of the middle portion of Lon don, than 100 acres at the extreme ends. The high ground about Copenhagen is an invaluable spot for the formation of a reservoir of air, both for the su pply of the centre of London and for the access thereto of the inhabitants. If the opportunity be neglected now, whe,n, small comparative expense will effect it, the time wil l come when the most ext.( naive demolition must be effected in order to air London, and give space for its inhabitants; fever and plague will not be stayed till thousands tire thousands be expended in this manner, and the veil spots now uncovered will be then again laid bare for ob• vious purposes of general need.—Builder. DANISH CATTLE.—It will not be considered de' void of interest or importance to remark that th e continued importations of horned stock from Pe ll ' mark, and also from the Ilanseatic port of Bremen , fully corroborate our recent particular reference to them, on account of their unequalled ex' tent and importance. The following large arrivals hale simultaneously taken place from Denmark, the produc e of that European state :—The steam-ship Wilberfor ce, from Tonniegen, has brought 200 head of horned cat tle, forming the entire cargo; the Free Trade, from Tonnhl: gen, 109 oxen wad cows ; and the Eider, from the stim u , port, 142 oxen and cows and 77 sheep, the produce Denmark ; the Neptune, arrived from Bremen, bps brought 179 oxen, in addition to a large ge ner a l cargo of Hanseatic produce. These supplies of he rn io cattle far exceed in number the importations of 1,,f kind from any other of the continental states u'e Europe. The large arrivals from Denmark during s"„f past two weeks have trebled the ordinary number 'O, horned cattle usually brought from all parts of the tinent, and their continuance gives an earnest of a co; sequent increase in the ordinary supplies from a broad a very important extent. Mr. Green, official assignee in Itlr. Commissionerr Goulburn's Court, died on Monday morning last, e, eft a short illness. He was struck with paralysis ¢ cis days ago, and subsequently afflicted with a violent stt! ac of diarrhce 1, which ended in death.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. A MIDSHIPMAN OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIP BEL LEROPHON AND NINE OTHERS DROWNED.—On the afternoon of the 12th instant, Mr. Kemp, a midship man of her Majesty's ship Bellerophon, 78, Captain Baynes, C. 8., lying off Leghorn, was sent ashore in charge of the cutter to bring off some men who were on leave. He reached the shore, embarked his men, and left to return to his chip. In the meantime, however, the breeze, which was little or nothing on leaving the Bellerophon, had freshened considerably, and it appears the cutter had proceeded one-third of the distance from the shore to the ship, when, in consequence of shipping a great deal of water, Mr. Kemp bore up for the purpose of returning to the land, the boat at the same time carry ing a press of sail. More water was shipped in the act of bearing up, which was kept under by baling ; but, unfortunately, the sail having been lowered, and the boat having nothing to force her through the water, she became almost waterlogged, and ship ping water on both sides, she filled, and shortly afterwards turned bottom up. This fatal catastrophe having been seen, both from the Bellerophon and her Majesty's steam-vessel, Porcupine, boats were in stantly lowered from those vessels and dispatched to the assistance of the cutter ; but before they could reach the spot the following poor fellows had disap peared and were drowned : Mr. Kemp, midshipman. Matthew Odgers, coxswain of the cutter. Jeremiah M'Carthy, able seaman. Jones Gray, ditto. William Deaken, landsman. John Winnister, ditto. William Short, first-class boy. James Wheat, private marine. John Rayner, ditto. George Watt, ditto. William Harvey, ditto. John Williams, ditto. Mr. Kemp, is the son of the late Lieut. Kemp, R.N. He was very steady in his duties, was con sidered to be very competent in managing boats, and was altogether a very promising young officer. Rear-ta dmiral Prescott, superintendent of Ports mouth dockyard, visited the Admiralty yesterday. The Amphion screw-frigate was towed from the west shore in Sheerness harbour into the basin on Monday, to be brought forward for service. The Vulture steam-frigate, at Sheerness, is in the basin taking in coals. Her yards are across, and it is expected she will be sent in a few days to Portsmouth to be put in commission there. The Revenge, 76, is nearly broken up at Sheerness. By the end of this week the dock will be cleared of her timbers. The men employed on this work are to have ss. 6d. per ton for the job. It is rumoured at Sheerness that the Wellington, 72, depot ship of the ordinary in that harbour, is to be sent to Queenstown as flag ship for the admiral com manding on that station. A timber laden merchantman arrived at the line on Monday, with military invalids from the Cape colony. They are detachments of the Rifles, Royal Artillery, the 20th Foot, &c., about 150 in all. The steam tug African took them out of the ship, and conveyed them to the invalid depot at Chatham. THE ROYAL YACHTS.—Her Majesty's steam yachts Fairy, Commander Crispin, and the Elfin, Master Commander . A. Balliston, arrived in the river last evening from Portsmouth, to be in readiness to attend at the opening of the New Coal Exchange on the '3oth. The royal barges to be used in the pro cession have since arrived in the Portsmouth steam tug Echo. The steam-sloop Stromboli, Commander Lord Amelius Beauclerk, arrived at Portsmouth from the river on Sunday morning, after taking the shore and firing guns of distress on working in to the anchor age. She sailed on Monday morning for Plymouth, with supernumerary seamen, &c. CHATHAM, OCT. 23.—The Raleigh, 50 guns, Corn modore Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8., Captain the Hon. G. Hope, from the south-east coast of America (relieved by the Southampton, 50 guns), is ordered to this port to be paid off without any f her bulk heads being disturbed. The Magicienne steam ship, built at Pembroke, is now getting her engines on board, from the engineers, Messrs. Penn, of Greenwich ; when completed, she proceeds to Chatham, to be fitted for commission. A general court-martial assembles on Wednesday, the 24th inst., on board the Ocean, stationary flag ship, at Sheerness for the trial of Daniel Donovan, a gunner on board the Latona, 42 guns, for drunken ness. He was found drunk on the sth inst. by Lieutenant Carter, and from that day the prisoner has been confined on board the Poictiers; the pri soner has twenty years' service as a gunner in the Royal Navy. WooLwlcu, OCT. 23.—The Firebrand steam frigate, Captain T. 0. Knox, is under orders to leave Woolwich on Thursday for Portsmouth, where she will receive further orders. The Styx steam-sloop had her steam up to-day to try the evaporation of her boilers, and it was found that B,ooolbs of water was evaporated in her boilers in 22 minutes, with the exception of 41bs. in the midships, and 31bs. in each of the wings. A series of experiments have been commenced at the west end of the factory department by Mr. Coad, with a boiler having three furnaces, to test his plan of building a brick arch round the sides and roofs of the furnaces. The bricks are mostly placed endways next the fire, with a space of nearly three inches betwixt each other in the tiers, to create a greater draught, and admit the heat to the boilers. The fires burned remarkably bright, and if bricks can be ob tained that will resist the intense heat to which they will be subjected, the plan will answer very well. The evaporating power, and the quantity of coals and time occupied, will be given when the experiments are completed. • IMPRISONMENT FOR CHURCH RATES.—By a recent Act of Parliament (12th Victoria, chap 14) a limit is fixed for the first time to imprisonment for nonpayment of church-rates. The ninth section of the statute de clares, " And whereas it is desirable to limit the time within which a person assessed to a church-rate may be imprisoned for non-payment of the same, be it enacted that every person now undergoing any such imprison ment shall be discharged from such imprisonment as soon as he or she shall have been imprisoned for three calendar months, or shall sooner pay the sum or sums with which he or she is charged; and that hereafter no person shall be imprisoned for non-payment of any church-rate for any time exceeding three calendar months." Until this Act was passed persons were kept in custody for indefinite periods. BATHS AND WASHHOUSES.—Yesterday, at a vestry meeting of the ratepayers of Lambeth, held in the vestry-room (the Rev. C. B.,Dalton, the Rector, in the chair), a resolution was proposed in favour of the esta blishment of baths and washhouses under the Act 9 and 10 Victoria. The resolution, the adoption of which was forcibly urged on the ground that the poorer inhabit ants in many parts of the parish are in want of the necessary means of cleanliness, and that, therefore, it is the duty of all connected with the locality, by providing those means, to guard as far as possible against the re currence of an epidemic such as that which had recently been so severely felt in Lambeth, was, after a short dis cus•ion, carried on a show of hands without a dissen tient, amidst loud cheers. MARC RESTER.— STATE OF TRADE, TUESDAF.^— The market has not been active to-day tor either cloth or yarn, but rates obtained have been fully equal to those of last week where parties have been willing to sell. In general there has been more of a disposition to hold than to enter into contract, unless, indeed, at rates with which buyers are not prepared to comply. Upon the whole the feeling is healthy. The mills are in fuller work than a short time age, and if the present rage for cotton speculation could only be suppressed, the manufacturing districts would continue to increase their trade. The prices of cotton quoted yesterday were id. advance since Saturday. Not until he is at the verge of the grave, when he is about to enter into the realm of unknown beings, does man fully feel how much he loves such as are already known to him, who suffer like himself, who die as he does,-41ixa Cook's Journal LAMBETH. Mrs. Sarah Sanders, a well-dressed middle-aged woman, the wife of a retired tradesman, worth, was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliot on a charge of stealing four sovereigns, the moneys of Mr. William Pershence. _ The complainant, a stout man, who described him self as a farmer at Charlton, in Kent, and also as the proprietor of the Duchess of Kent beer-house in Lansdowne-road, Camberwell, deposed that the pri soner, who lived with him for about fifteen months, and had charge of his house in Lansdowne-road, and also the management of the business, absconded on that day week, taking with her property belonging to him of the value of over 1001. From that time until the Friday following he could not learn where she was; but on that day he discovered that she was living with a Mrs Elliott, the sister of his potman, in liill-street, Peckham. Mr. ELLIOTT—What is it you mean to charge the prisoner with—stealing the 1001. worth of property, or what ? Prosecutor—My present charge against her is that of stealing four sovereigns last evening. Mr. ELLIOTT—If ell, go on with your statement. The prosecutor, in continuation, said, that on the evening before he went to the house of Mrs. Elliott, and seeing the prisoner there, he begged she would accompany him as far as the house of Mr. Walters, in the Wandsworth-road, where he had some busi ness to transact which he could not well do without her, and she consented. They went together to the house of Mr. Waiters, but, not finding that gentleman at home, they were returning to Mrs. Elliott's when the prisoner said she was very sorry for what she had done ; that she had been persuaded to leave him, but hoped he would take her back to his house. He did so, and after being together for some time the pri soner requested he would lock her into the bedroom they then were in, and not let any person approach her, as she required some rest. He did as requested, and took the key of the bedroom with him ; but soon after visited her, when she appeared to be sleeping Soon after thi s M rs . Elli o tt came to the soundly. S house and requested to see the prisoner, but he re fused to allow her unless in his presence, and an in terview took place. In about half an hour after he discovered that the prisoner had escaped from bis house, taking with her four sovereigns which were in a drawer in the bedroom. On making this discovery he took a cab and hastened to the house of Mrs. El liott, and on seeing the prisoner he charged her with robbing him. At this moment, to his (witness's) great surprise, the prisoner's husband made his ap pearance, and Mrs. Elliott gave w it ness i n t o cus t o dy for making a disturbance. He, however, persisted in giving charge of the prisoner, and after being allowed to remain inside for some minutes the prisoner was taken to the station house, as well as himself, and both charges were taken. A solicitor, who attended on behalf of the prisoner, here rose to cross-examine the complainant, but the latter refused to answer any questions, on the ground that some time ago he commenced an action against him (complainant) in the name of a person whose existence he could not discover, and he understood at that time that the person's name had been removed from the list of attorneys. Mr. ELLIOTT ruled that, as the name of the solici tor at present appeared in the Law List, he was bound to answer his questions. The complainant then said, that be had in the first instance seen the prisoner at Charlton, but subse quently visited her at a tavern in the Borough as the friend of her husband, who kept the house at the time. Solicitor—Now, sir, on your oath, were you not received by Mr. and Mrs. Sanders as a mutual friend, arid did you not carry away Mrs. Sanders from under the roof of her husband? Mr. Pershence—No, I did not. She left her home through the alleged cruelty of her hushand, and sought my protection, and I afforded it to her. Solicitor—Did you not leave your trunks in the house to enable her to get away her wearing ap parel, and had you not a cab at the end of the street to take her away ? Witness—l deny it. We went to live together in Stamford-street, and at my inter position she went back to her husband twice, and subsequently returned to me of her own accord. While the prisoner lived with me she received 100/. from Mr. Walter, but this she entirely expended on herself in the purchase of jewellery and finery of different descriptions. He (witness) had: been a bankrupt two years ago, but got his certificate on his first asking for it, and had been enabled to get into business by an advance of 5001. from his mother. Is a married man, and his wife is living in the vicinity of his residence at Charlton. Solicitor—On your oath, has not the prisoner pledged valuable articles belonging to her to support you and your house ? Witness—Certainly not. Solicitor—Not a valuable shawl purchased for her by her husband ? Witness—The shawl you speak of I gave twenty-five guineas for myself, and therefore it'a my property. Solicitor—Well, a valuable brooch ? Witness— That brooch was mine also. I gave sixty guineas for it Solicitor—Have you ever burned a bonnet belong ing to the prisoner ? Witness—l did, but I bought her another. Solicitor—Did you not burn the bonnet to prevent the prisoner from leaving you and going to her friends ? Witness—No, I did not do it for that pur pose. In conclusion, the witness swore distinctly that the four sovereigns were safe in the drawer when he left the prisoner in the bedroom. The solicitor addressed the magistrate at some length in reply to the charge, which he said had no foundation in fact, but had been got up from a vin dictive feeling because the unfortunate woman at the bar had been induced, by the advice of her friends, to abandon the complainant and return to her husband and children. Two witnesses were called on the part of the pri soner; one was Mrs. Elliott, who deposed that the complainant, on taking Mrs. Sanders from her home cn the evening before, had passed his word of honour THE COUNTRY MARKETS. LEEDS, OCT. 23.—We had a large arrival of wheat to day, and a very great number of samples, in addition, have been brought by captains of corn-trading vessels. We had, consequently, a very dull market, and wheat must be called is to 2s per quarter lower than last Tuesday, and it is difficult to effect sales to any extent at this decline. Barley is is per quarter lower. Beans and oats maintain late prices. LIVERPOOL, 23.—At this day's market there was a good attendance of millers and dealers, but the weather was so wet and gloomy that for some time samples could not be fairly seen. Tho demand for old wheat was very limited, and prices gave way Id to 2d per bushel; and Irish now was nearly unsaleable, although pressed at a greater decline. Some superior Canadian and Ohio flour brought 25s to 25s 6,1 per barrel, notwith standing which the general trade was very dull, and middling qualities and all kinds of Irish were easier to purchase. There was no material change in the value of prime oats or oatmeal, 2s 6d to 2s 63-d per 451 b., and 22s per 2401 b. being realised for prime samples of new. Barley, beans, and peas, remained as last quoted; and Indian corn was steady, without much business passing. IPSWICH, OCT. 23. We had a heavy market today for most grain.
