NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 2S.—lier ligajesty and the Court are expected to arrive at the Clarence-yard, Gosport, to-morrow, at two r It., from Basingstoke, en route to Osborne. A guard of honour of the Royal Marines will attend to receive her Majesty. The Brilliant, 22, Captain R B. Watson, C. 8., arrived this morning from the Cape of Good Hope, Belena, and cension ; but her mails havitig 13een brought to England by the Inflexible, she had ao news; she sailed this evening for Sheerness to be paid off. The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert rehoisted the nsign and pennant yesterday, and is quite ready for ner Majesty. The Myrtle steam-tender, Master Commander Braddan, sailed this afternoon for Plymouth with supernumeraries. In Harbour—The Victory, Illustrious, Excellent, Blenheim, Encounter, Victoria and Albert, Black Eagle, Fairy, Elfin, Rolla, and Echo. At Spithead—The Superb and Sutlej Indiaman. In Dock—The Princess Charlotte, Fox, Actaeon, Dauntless, Devastation, and Contest. In the Basin—The Rodney, Sphynx, Polyphemus, and Sprightly. In the Steam Basin—The Ajax, Sidon, Basilisk, l'enelope, Scourge, Blazer, Argent, and Fire Queen Wind—S.W., light breezes, and fine weather. CHATHAM, SEPT. 28.—The Calypso, 20 guns, paid off on the 24th inst., and which has been examined by the officers of the yard, is pronounced to be the cleanest ship which has been paid off at this port for many years. The Wolverine, 12 guns, which was commissioned on the 25th by Commander Maxwell Falcon, has com menced entering men. Six seamen riggers have vo lunteered for her from this yard, and eeveral others would have done so could they have obtained their rating as petty officers ; but as that distinction could not be promised, they declined entering. This ship is almost completed. She must be taken into dock to have her bottom cleaned, which is extremely foul. The two lieutenants, master, surgeon, .paymaster and purser, and most of the officers have joined. She is announced for the coast of Africa. The Ocean, 80 guns, Captain G. Elliot, stationary flag-ship at Sheerness.—Mr. Rumfrey, captain'l clerk, committed suicide on Thursday morning, the 27th, by cutting his throat with a razor, which he borro wed from one of the ship's crew. PLYMOUTH, FRIDAY MORNING. Her Majesty's steamer Volcano, from Tangier, arrived here yester day, having in tow a brigantine which had lost her bowsprit and both masts. The brigantine is called the Eliza, belongs to Newport, and was from London, in ballast, bound to a port in the Bristol Channel. When off this • harbour to the westward, yesterday at noon, wind north- west, weather very thick, she was hailed by the Volcano and desired to lay too, in order that the steamer might ascertain how the land bore. Captain Owen complied immediately with the request, and while lying too the Volcano fouled the brigantine and carried away all her spars and rigging. The Volcano then took the Eliza in tow, and in consequence of the inter-communication they were, on arrival here, both placed under quarantine, from which they were released last night, and are now gone up Hamoaze. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Alarm will be paid wages to-day, and sail to-morrow for the West Indies. She has for several days been lying in the Sound, where she was removed at an early period, in order to lessen communication with the shore, on account of the prevailing sickness. Her Majesty's iron steamer Trident is ordered from the Irish station to this port, to be docked and ex mined, her bottom being much corroded. Her Majesty's ship Clarence has been warped alongside the sheer hulk, when her masts were taken out, examined, and placed in store. Her Majesty's ship Hibernia has had her ballast taken out previous to going into dock. The artisans of the dockyard will be mustered to morrow (Saturday) commencing at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. On board her Majesty's steamer llecla, in Hamoaze, three cases of sickness among her officers have re cently occurred. Mr. Webber, the clerk, died of cholera, at Devonport, on the 13th instant. Mr. Wilkinson, the surgeon, was taken sick on Tuesday last, and went ashore to the Royal Naval Hospital, Stonehouse, where he remains under treatment. Mr. Dryden, purser, was seized on Friday last, and went to his residence, Portland•square, Plymouth, where he was on 'Saturday morning attacked violently with Asiatic cholera, and is yet but partially recovered. It is remarkable that all these officers were berthed in the larboard side of the ship, and that neither of the officers on the starboard side has been attacked. THE BOY JONES AGAIN.—Young Jones, the old visitor of Buckingham Palace, has, to the surprise of the governor of Newgate, been discovered amongst the pre sent inmates of the gaol, to which he was about three weeks ago introduced, in consequence of an unwelcome visit which he paid at the house of a gentleman at an unreasonable hour in the night. The myetery in which the early circumstances of the life of Jones have been involved seems to extend itself to his more recent trans actions. It was generally supposed that the Govern ment had taken care, after his list sadden appearance in the royal residence, that her Majesty should be secured from the chance of future intrnsion from him. It was believed that by this time ho was industriously engaged in one of our foreign settlements. [low much then must a policeman, who had had kim in custody several times for such extraordinary violations of etiquette in her Majesty's Palace, been astonished at seeing him amongst the inmates of her Majesty's gaol! It is not more than three weeks since a young man named John Frost was committed to goal for robbing the house of Mr. David Williams Wire; at Lewisham in Kent, of plate, which was soon afterwards found in the posses sion of the accused, who was tried, convicted, and sentenced to transportation for ten years for having committed the offence. That John Frost is no other than the Boy Jones, who hed such a remarkable knack of evading the vigilance of her Majesty's domestic ser vants and the police as to be able to secure a lodging in any room in the palace to which he might take a fancy. On Tuesday list it happened that an officer who had frequently taken the " boy" into custody went into one of the wards upon some business connected with his du ties. The moment his eye fell upon John Frost he said, " Hallo, how on earth did you come here, young Jones? You haven't been to see her Majesty again, have you?" The prisoner, with great presence of mind, denied that he knew anything of young Jones, or the policeman, or the Queen, and requested not to be annoyed in his serious cogitations. It was in vain that the oacer tend several other policemen of the metropolitan force positively identified the prisoner as the young chimney-sweeper who had made his bed under the sofa on which her Ma jesty had been sitting. Ile most resolutely declared that he was a stranger to every individual named, and that the only person of rank into whose house he had ever entered was that of the Under-Sheriff of London. TRADE or NOTTINGHAM.—LACE.—There is not any change to note in the state of this trade since our last. Plain goods are in fair demand, and good patterns in fancy goods made by machinery command a steady sale, whilst those of an inferior description remain on hand. Yarns are rather higher, as we told our readers some time ago they would be. hosiery—ln wrought cotton there is a slight falling off in the demand ; on the other hand the cut-up branches were scarcely ever better. The drawer, pantaloon, and shirt trade is in a very healthy state, most of the shops being in full work. The cotton glove trade, owing to the season of the year, has become rather duller than it was some months since. The silk glove branch has not visibly amended, many of the hosiers making spun silk gloves to supersede those made of thrown silk. The bolabin net trade, now the orders of the Leipsic fair have been completed, is con• sidered dull, whether for plain, figured, or black or white silk laces, but not so as to cause distress.-IVoltingham Journal. The appearance of Cheltenham has greatly im proved within the last ten days, the influx of company having been very considerable, and the number of residents who, within the periol, have also returned from their summer excursions being greater than had taken place for some weeks pre vious. The continued immunity of the town from the prevailing epidemic has no doubt operated favour ably in causing many families to determine upon an earlier return home than under other circumstances might have occurred; and the same cause has also favoured the arrival of strangers. From these and other equally significant signs of the times wo are led to anti cipato a good autumn season—the precursor of a winter which shall equal. at least, if it surpasses not, those of the lint two or three years. It is, however, too early yet to predict anything with certainty as to what may be its general character, though there is, even at pre s',?nt, every reasonable ground of hope.—Cheltenhamn Looker on AWKWARD PREDICAMENT.—On Saturday evening last, as a lady was walking along High-street, Wisbech, ahe was followed at a short distance by two or three sailors, who observed the hustle belonging to the lady trailing along the ground, and holding only by one string ; one of the sailors took the liberty to put his foot on the bustle; he then stepped up to the lady, and politely informed her that she had lost an appendage; she at once told the g , od-hearted sailor not to insult her, saying it did not belong to her, and requested hi:n to go about his business. Ile in reply sad, " Very well," and handed the bustle to an old lady close by, who de cl.kred the beautiful silk on the article would make her a splendid bonnet. It is an ill wind that blows no one good.—Stanzfoz d Mercury. SUPERSTITION IN 1649.—There is in the neigh borrhood ot flenton and its vicinity a population of relout 200, in which it is asserted that there are 19 witches; and curious enough it is to hear the different talcs of the people of the prinks pl ived by this wonder ful class of huings. Some of the inhabitants sit up by night, three or four together, for several nights follow ing, using some peculiar charm, instructed, they say, by the wise man ot the west. There they sit praying to themselves, they must not hear eich other speak, that the witch may not any longer have power to scratch the children, as they do by some invisible means; and about midnight they pe rson hear some terrible un earthly noises. One person has even attempted suicide under fear; some, they say, aro hag-ridden; others dream wonderful dreams, and have cramps, all of which are attributed to the same cause. One person asserts that she actually, at night, saw one of those wonderful beings come into her room three times.-.—.Sherborne Journal. LAW IN TELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 28. (Before Mr. Cainglissioner FoNnwiQuE.) IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF EDWARD NAIRNE. The bankrupt Edward Nairne was described on the fiat as a stockbroker, who carried on business at No. 2, Warnford•court. This was the day fixed for the last examination. Mr. Hilleary, of Fenchurch-street, was solicitor for the assignees, and Mr. Plews appeared for the bankrupt. Mr. HitexaitY wished to call the attention of the Court to the facts of this most wicked case. The debts and liabilities were about 35,0001., whilst the assets were comparatively insignificant. The bankrupt had not surrendered, but was, he believed, at this moment enjoying himself at Boulogne on his wife's fortune, which amounted to 6001. a year. He would mention a few instances of the bankrupt's conduct. A gen tleman whose name it was at this stage of the pro ceedings useless to mention had, two months previ ously to the issue of the fiat, handed over to Nairne 4,5001. for the purchase of Great Western Railway shares. The bankrupt duly advised the gentleman that the shares had been purchased, but it turned out that not a single pound's worth was bought, and the money was wholly lost. A second case was where a clergyman residing in a rural district had forwarded 1,8001., with directions to Nairne how to invest it. The bankrupt wrote to say that the money had been invested, and actually paid the dividends from time to time, but it now appeared there had been no investment whatever. A third case was where a retired publican, named Spurgin, had sent him 1,6001. to be invested in Exchequer-bills. It seemed that Nairne did make the purchase. Spurgin having been so advised, wrote to Nairne to say that his residence was on Hounslow-heath—a lonesome unprotected place, and that, as he did not wish to keep such an amount of property there, he would feel ob liged by the bankrupt depositing it in the public chest in the Royal Exchange. In a day or two the bankrupt wrote to say that he had done so, snd Mr, Spurgin rested content that his money was safe. It was now clear that the bankrupt had converted those public securities into money for his own use, There was a fourth case still more grievous and distressing than any. A tradesman, residing in Isling ton, had placed in his hands 2,5001.—the hard earned savings of years. The money had all disappeared. The whole of the assets to meet this heavy amount of debts and liabilities were 1,2001; 4001. of that sum was obtained from the sale of furni , tare, and 8001. in this way :—At 11 o'clock in the day the petitioning creditor came to ask his (Mr. Hilleary's advice as to what steps he ought to take for the recovery of his claim. He (Mr. Hilleary) at once advised the issue of the before fiat. At one o'clock the fiat was i s sued, and closing hour at the banks 800/. at Nairne's banker's was impounded and placed in the hands of the official assignee. The bankrupt, having duped as many as he could, and done all the mischief in his power, set off to 13oulogne, where he had since re mained, probably laughing at the credulity of his creditors, and making merry upon their honest gains. Was such a person to go unpunished ? Was a petty larceny to be dealt with according to the rigour of the law while such transgressors as the bankrupt, by merely taking a passage in a steam-boat and passing over to France, might laugh to scorn those whom they had so grossly defrauded ? But there was another incident in this case worthy of mention. The bankrupt had a clerk named Beaton. It appeared that a few days previously to the issue of the fiat the bankrupt had transferred 2,000/ to his account at a different banker's from that at which he (Nairne) transacted business. Beaton went several times to Boulogne, and finally the 2,0001. was disposed of in mere stock transactions on the Exchange—" differ ences" as they were called, for which there was no consideration, and in which no money passed. Was not the state of facts to which he had drawn the atten don of the Court, and which he was prepared to sub stantiate by undoubted evidence, of a most grave and serious nature, and was such a person to be dealt with as an unfortunate and honest debtor ? It would be a disgrace to the law if there were not heavy and signal punishment for such misdeeds. There was one fact obvious. The bankrupt was entrusted with the money of others to deposit in a particular manner. Ile violated the trust and applied the money to his own private uses. There was another fact apparent also. The bankrupt owed between 30,0001. and 40,0001., and at present the assets were only adequate to the payment of 9d. in the pound. Nairne had set the law at defiance, for he had not surrendered to his fiat. Now, the main body of the creditors, whom he represented, were of opinion that this was a case which ought to be thoroughly sifted and exposed, and they were willing to forego their share of the assets in order to prosecute the bankrupt, and, by punishing him, deter others from pursuing so unworthy a course. He agreed with them, and asked his Honour to assist him to the utmost of his ability in bringing this offender to justice. Mr. PLEws said he believed the bankrupt would surrender. The COMMISSIONER said it was the best course he coul I pursue. Mr. BLAxLAND, a solicitor, called his Honour's attention to the system which prevailed upon the Stock Exchange, and hop?d this case, and the publi city it acquired, would show the public the necessity of exacting their accounts from stockbrokers upon the settling day, instead of allowing them to be " carried over," ai had been done in this case. had his client, the person to whom Mr. Hilleary had alluded, in sisted upon his scrip of Great Western shares on the settling day, he would not have been defrauded in the manner he had been. A proclamation of outlawry wai made against the bankrupt, and a day was fixed for the further hearicg of the case. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates.) Yesterday morning the Court sat at the Guildhall, Westminster, in pursuance of the provisions of the Act of Parliament, for the purpose of disposing of what are denominated " Westminster " cases. Of these cases, however, there happened to be but one, and so the Court, in due course, then proceeded to try the cases from Clerkenwell which were still un disposed of. A. marine store dealer of the name of Browne, whose shop is in New Montague•stree+, in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel, was placed at the bar under the circumstances which are now detailed. On the previous day Joseph Gage and James Payne were indicted for having stolen a number of pewter pots. Gage pleaded Guilty, but Payne said Not guilty. The cases of theft were all clearly established against the prisoners by one of the police force, who stated that when he had apprehended Payne, a week subsequently, he found upon him 181 b. weight of pewter in a melted state. 'I he man accounted for having such a large quantity of pewter in his posses sion by saying that it was the property of his master, Mr. Browne, of New Montague-street. The evidence for the prosecution having been brought to a conclusion, Mr. PAYNE, on behalf of the prisoner, said that the jury would find, supposing his instructions to be cor rect, that the police had made a mistake as to the man fur whom he appeared, for he should call several wit nesses, all of whom would distinctly state that he was not near the public-houses from which the pots were alleged to have been stolen at the time alleged. The Learned Counsel then called Browne, who in the outset said that the pewter which had been found upon Payne, who was in his employ, was his, and not the man's. He bad sent him out to sell it, as he wanted to make up a particular amount of money that evening. lie had known the man for about eighteen months, and he could give him the best of characters as respected his honesty. By the COURT—The shop he kept was that of a general dealer. He sold all sorts of things. He dealt in anything, indeed, by the purchase or sale of which he could gain a profit. He was a bookseller, and kept a novel library, but he called himself a general dealer. The Learned JUDGE—" A marine store-dealer's" shop, is it not ? Browne, with some hesitation—Yes; and amongst the articles he dealt in were old iron, nails, bones, rags, old lead,-- _ _ _ The Learned JUDGE—And old pewter too, do you not ? Browne, with increased hesitation, admitted, that old pewter was one of the articles in which he usually dealt, if it came in his way. As to this particular pewter, he had bought it in the customary way, but he did not buy it of Payne. Payne had worked for him something like 18 months, and he was a strictly hone3t man. The other witnesses having been examined, The Learned JUDGE left; the case for the considera tion of the jury, who rAurnecl a verdict of Guilty. The Learned JUDGE said he had not the least doubt but that the evidence the witness Browne had given had been one series of perjury. That witness either had not known Payne for the time he had stated, or, if he had, he must have been well aware that he had been convicted of felony. Browne said he had never heard of the conviction before. The,Learned JUDGE told Browne he did not believe him. He was not quite certain but that he ought to cause him to be prosecuted for perjury. He had not the slightest doubt that the man Payne had been in this man's service by selling to him, for trifling sums, old pewter and any other articles he might have possessed himself of. These marine store shops were great encouragers of thieving, for without their existence such men as the prisoner, as well as many others, would have no means of disposing of the things they might steal. He should g i ve di rec ti ons that this sihop which Browne kept, should be closely watched by the police. He should now cause him to i be kept in custody until the morni eg , a nd in the mean time he 'would conAder what course should be taken in reference to the perju:y which he had without doubt committed. Browne was accordingly locked up for the night, l and this morning, upon his being brought up, The Learned JUDGE addressing him said, it was impossible to doubt but that all the time he was giving his evidence on the previous day, he was fully aware that he was committing gross perjury, neither did he himself entertain the slightest doubt that his " marine-store-shop " was a place where stolen arti ticks were received and purchased. For the present, Browne might go about his business, but he must carry with him this intimation—that for the future his shop as well as his own proceedings would be closely watched by the police. Fle had now known what the confinement in a prison for a night was. Let that be a warning to him. The jury, as has been stated, found Payne Guilty. The Learned JUDGE said he should postpone the pacing sentence upon the prisoners in order that some further inquiries might be made about them. With regard to Payne, it was a singular fact that he was dis charged from prison just 19 months ago, w hilst all the witnesses who had been called to speak in his be half had stated that they bad known him about 18 months. The sentence upon Payne and Gage was then post poned. POLICE INTEf.LIGENCE. MANS/ON-Ho S David M. Intyre and Matthew Right (the first a fighting man, the second the keeper of a coffee-house in Blackfriars-road) were charged before the Lord Mayor under the following circumstances : Mr. Atkinson and Mr. Wontner appeared for the prisoners. A gentleman of the name of Watson said, on the 28th of August, at half-past ten o'clock at night, as I was walking along Oxford-street, a woman addressed me and asked me to treat her. I declined to do so. It began to rain a little, and I took shelter in a shop doorway in Princes-street. The woman followed and spoke to me again, and a man came from the opposite side of the way as if he were coming into the shop door. I said to her, " Here is a man wants to come in." lie came up, and she gave him some thieg, and he immediately said, " I want to go to St. George's-road, Westminster." I told him he was to go through Regent-street, towards Westminster, and the moment he was gone I missed from my trowsers pockets nine sovereigns wrapped up ia a 201. note. The woman disappeared when the man went. The note now produced, of which I knew the number, is that which I lost. Neither of the prisoners is the man who came up. Mr. C. R. Tatham, clerk in the accountants' office of the Bank of England, produced a banknote for 20/., numbered 30,731, and dAted 9th of April, 1849, and said it had been paid into the bank on the 17th of September, through Messrs. Rubart's house. George Russell (34), of the city police, said, in consequence of information which I received from Mr. Watson, I went to the house of Kight, the British Coffee House, in Blackfriara-road. I told him a stolen 201 note had been traced to his possession, which he had paid to a Mr. Tulloch, of 171, Shore ditch, grocer, on the 14th of September. He said he had done so, and I told him he need not answer any questions, but that I was a police officer, and would ask him where he got it from ? He said he had it from a person named David M'lntyre, a fighting man; that he had let M'lntyre have 2/. on the note, and that there was 45. besides. I asked him how he gave M'lntyre the 2/. He said, that 30s. was a bet upon a fight, and 103. was for attending at a police court to bail his wife out; 2s. 61. he had lent him the night before, and is. 6d. for re freshments, and that he owed Mlntyre 16s. on ac count of the change of the note; that M'lntyre went with him to his grocer's to get the note changed, but stopped outside, where he was seen and spoken to by the grocer's porter; that M'lntyre stopped at a beer shop in the road, opposite the Eastern Counties Rail way ; that the name of Watson" was on the note, and that M'lntyre had written some name on the left side of it; but that at first he was going to write underneath the name of Watson, but left off writing there and commenced writing at the left hand side of that name; and this morning Hugget, the officer, and I went again, and Kight took us to M'lntyre and pointed him out as the man who had given him the note. M'lntyre denied all knowledge of the note, and we took them both into custody. Kight said he had given the money he had received from Mr. Tulloch to M'lntyre. • Mr. Wontner—Have you found in the course of your investigation into this matter that what Kight toll you was correct? Witness—Yes. Mr. J. R. Bushby, clerk to Messrs. Jones Loyd and Co., bankers, produced a 51. note of the Banbury Bank, which had been paid in by Messrs. Robarts and Co., at the counter, on the 2Gth of September. "Tulloch, Shoreditch," was written nFon it, and under that was the name of "David M'lntyre, Sep tember 14, 1849." Russell said, that another of the notes paid away by Mr. Tulloch, in change for the 201., was traced from banking-house to banking house, till it was at last traced to Tattersall's. Mr. William Tulloch, of 171, Shoreditch, grocer, said, on the 14th of September Kight called and paid me an account of 3/. 2s. with a 201. note. This is the note, and this is my writing upon it. I gave him two 6/. Bank of England notes, and a Banbury Bank note for 51. I made Kight put his name to it, and I paid it into the London and Westminster Bank. Mr. Wontner—Do you not know that Mr. Kight is a very respectable man ? Witness-1 have no reason to think otherwise. He has always settled his accounts with me punctually. The LORD MAYOR remanded the case till Friday. His Lordship accepted bail for Kight, himself in a surety fur 1001, and two sureties for 501. each, but refused to take bail to any amount for M'lntyre. " all go ods could be paid for by weekly instalments of 9.5." J . received a litter from the prisoner between the and 16th of September, 1846, containing t.en order .for certain goods to the amount of 91. 2-!. That desezipt ion of goods I had not a sufficient quantity and only sent part, after which another letter arrived saying t. hat if I had not sent all off, Messrs. Lloyd, Wood, an d Co.'s cart would be in town on the Mon day, and would call for the rest. They were after wards fc rm? arded to the direction given in Tottenham court-road; and since then I have seen nothing of the prison er until yesterday at the Insolvent Debtors' Court. Alderma n Gauns—Was there credit given ? Mr. Lee—Yes ; the bill was to be settled at the expiration of two montlim Alderman Glans—Where is the false pretence ? Mr. Warr:lnd—He obtained the goods under the representation that his name was Wood, of the firm of Lloyd, Wood, and Co., whereas his real name is (la an took ; and that he carried on business at North church, Berkhatnp stead, which is not the case, for he, in his schedule and when before the Commissioner at the Insolvent Court', made no mention of Mr. Lee's debt, or that he ever lived at Northchurch, thus so far establishing a case against him. Alderman Glans--Show that there was no such firm at Northchurcili Air. Lee—After rending some letters down, and having them returned by post, marked that no such parties ns Lloyd, Wood. and Co., could be found, I and my foreman went down and ascertained for a cer tainty that no such firm ever existed there. And on making inquiries at the railway station we were told that seven sacks of flour came by rail directed to the same film, but the owner fortunately seized them before arriving at their destination and cat red them off. Mr. Spiller cross-examined Mr. Lee, but did not elicit anything favourable for his client. Alderman GIBBS—I should like proof that the lettekqe from Northchurch, I3erkhampstead, are in the prisoner's handwriting. Mr. `Y errand said that could be easily proved, and called Lewis Levi, the foreman to Mr. Lee, who, after examing them, swore they were in the prisoner's handwriting, and also corroborated his employer's evidence respecting making inquiries at nearly all the houses in Northchurch, and being unable to find that such a firm ever existed. Cross-examined—l don't know such a place as Whitchurch. Mr. Lee—There is no such place. Prisoner—There is, of a quarter of a mile. It is a village, and joins Berkhampstead. Mr. kVarrand—There is no such place. Alderman GIBBS—But your letters are dated from Northchurch. Prisoner—l don't recollect which place it is. It's all a mistake.—(Laughter.) There is no post office there at Northchurch.—(Much laughter.) Chief Clerk—Then you know Northchurch well ? The prisoner made no reply. Mr. Warrand asked for a remand, and said, that when full publicity was given to the case of such a man as the prisoner there was no doubt that other cases would be brought against him. Alderman GIBBS remanded him until Wednesday neat. THE LONIjOI , SAT i FIRDA.Y EVENING, SEPTEMBER 29 1 1849. CLERKENWELL. Four powerful-looking Irishmen, who gave their names Skean, Kelly, Grogan, and Farrell, and said they were employed as miners on the Great Northern Railway, Islington, were charged with the following daring outrage : On the previous night, about half-past nine o'clock, the prisoners, with two other Irishmen who had been at work in a tunnel forming on the London and York Railway, Copenhagen-fit-Ads, were leaving the works, when a gang of English navvies called out, " Pat ! which way does the bull run ? There goes the b— Irish !" which exasperated the prisoners, and they made an attack upon the parties, and running in every direction they fought at, and knocked down, everybody indiscriminately, by which they were much injured. Mr. William Woods, a warden attached to the Model Prison, was walking arm in-ann with his wife, having a bundle under his arm, along the Chalk-road, when the prisoner Shean rushed at him, and felled him down in a state of insensibility, and an attempt was made to steal the bundle. Mrs. Woods proceeded to her husband's as sistance, whence she was knocked down and mal treated. The prisoners continued their violence on numerous unoflending passengers until the arrival of a body of policemen, headed by Walter, an active officer of the N division, who succeeded in apprehend. ing the prisoners and locking them up, after consider able resistance and violence. _ _ Mr. %%roods, whose face exhibited marks of vio• lence, gave evidence as to the prisoners' wanton and brutal conduct, and identified Shean, Kelly, and Crogan as being the ringleaders, but Farrell was said to have interfered to prevent the violence upon Mr. and Mrs. Woods. Mrs. Ellen Woods, the wife, gave confirmatory evidence, which was also corroborated by numerous witnesses. • Jan Walter, 22 N, depsed that he received in formation that several persons bad been nearly mur dered by some Irishmen in the Chalk-road, Islington. Ile pr,;ceeded there, and, with assistance, apprehended the prisoners. The prisoners, in their defence, said they were leaving their work peaceably, when some excavators insulted them and called them b- Irish. They did not deny having retaliated, when they were pelted with brickbats and injured severely. They attacked Mr. and Mrs. Woods by mistake. Walter said that, when he apprehended the pri soners, Kelly said, " We were only having a lark, and trying our hand to clear the road, which we can can do if we like, and we made all fly before us." He (Walter) had received information that other persons had been dreadfully maltreated, and one gen tleman, residing at Mile-end, had been seriously at tacked and robbed, but he had not had time or op portunity to make inquiries or bring him forward. Mr. ARNOLD said, he never heard of a more vio lent and cowardly outrage. The prisoners might consider themselves exceedingly fortunate that the charge of attempting to steal Mr. Wood's bundle had not been sufficiently substantiated against them. As it was he should inflict the extreme penalty of the law upon the prisoners Kelly, Shean, and Crogan, against whom there was proof of assault. It was necessary that examples should he made, and this was an instance fit for such a course. There was not a sufficiency of evidence against the prisoner Farrell, and he should discharge him, but he would convict the other three prisoners in the extreme penalty of 51., and in default of payment, two months' impri sonment with hard labour in the House of Correction. The prisoners could not pay the penalties, and they were conveyed to prison. THAMES. Hugh Johnson, a mariner, was brought before Mr. Ingham, on remand, charged with feloniously utter ing a seaman's advanced note for the payment of 6/., and an allotment note for the payment of 2/. per month during his absence at sea, purporting to be signed by " Thomas Chapman," with intent to de fraud Sarah Hestord, a sailor's boarding-house keeper, of 24, Dean-street, Shad well. Mr. INankst Committed the prisoner for trial. SOU7IIWARK. Michael Bryan, a tall, thin young man, was brought before Mr. Seeker, charged with attempting to plunder a vessel lying in the Thames. Thomas Hodder stated that he was master of the ship Vulcan, lying off Bermondsey-stairs, and that about one o'clock that morning he was awoke by hearing a noise on deck over the state room. He immediately got out of bed, and going on deck saw the prisoner, who, finding that he was observed, ascended the shrouds to avoid detection. lie (com plainant) called out " Police !" upon which a Thames galley, manned by an inspector and several police men, came alongside. The prisoner then descended from aloft, and, perceiving that he had no chance of escaping ashore, he jumped off the deck into the mud, which was upwards of five feet in depth alongside the vessel, and made towards the landing place. He, however, made but J.ittle way, but still struggled, and in his efforS' to escape from the police he got completely immersed in the mud, his head and every part of his body being under neath, and for some time it was supposed that his fate to be smothered was inevitable, the men in the galley being out of reach to assist him, and no one venturing in after him, fearful of the consequences. At length, however, the Prisoner, by a desperate effort, forced his way through the mud, and, from exhaustion, fell near the stairs, where he wes secured and immediately conveyed to the nearest station-house, more dead than alive, and a medical man having been employed, and restoratives administered, the prisoners soon recovered. Inspector Falconer, of the. Thames police, who was present on the occasion of the narrow escape from suffocation the prisoner had, said, that he had known him for a long ti me as a dishonest character, and that he had only been liberated from gaol three weeks ago after suffering three months' imprisonment. That the prisoner told him that morning that since his dis charge from the gaol he had been starving about, un able to obtain any kind of work, and he confessed that he had gone on board the Vulcan to steal what ever he could lay his hands upon. The inspector added that, in consequence of the prisoner's immersion in the mud, on being carried to the station house he was seized with cramps all over his body, and that Lad not iminediee steps been taken cholera would have set in, and probably terminated in death. The prisoner said that he had no means of living, and that to send him to gaol would be an act of mercy to him. The MAGISTRATE then committed him io the House of Correction for three months. Dispatches were sent (,if yest,rday evening from the Colonial-office, for the Govercora of Canada, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY. CROWN-OFFICE, SErr. 28, 1849.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Sept. 28.) SUGAR.—To-day there was only a limited business concluded in the West India Sugar market, and rather lower rates were taken fur both grocery a7:d working kinds. The purchaes to-day wer e 579, ma ki ng for t h e week 2,360 hhds and trcs, and the decline in price for that time has been 6d to is pernwt. The market for ell sorts of Sugar closes with a quiet aspect. REnNED.—To-day sale: to a fair extent were made in refined goods by hone dealers, and former rates are well supported. In bonded crushed Sugar the sales made are of little moment. MAITRITIITS.—ThiA afternoon the public sales of 4,800 bags Mauritius Sugar went off flatly, at barely former rates; brown sold at 33s to 355, yellow 35s 6d to•3Bs 6d, fine 393 to 40s, and grey 345 to 38s per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon. the quantity of Bengal Sugar submitted to ptiblic sale was extensive, and amounted to 8,800 bags. On the part of dealers not much desire was evinced to make purchases, and only about half sold at a further decline of 6.1 per cwt. Prices rued av follows:—Yellow like Mauritius realised from 36s to 40s, low to fine white 383 61 to 41s Gd. grainy brown 37s Gd to 3856 d, yellow 39s to 44s 6 J, and white 45s to 465. 1,175 casks Ceylon went at 32s to 34s for soft yellow. FonuoN.:—To-day there was little passing by private treaty in Foreign Sugar, and at public sale 275 hhds Porto Rico sold at a further reclueti ,, n ; low 3ellow at 36i 6d to 375, and middling to gOod 37s 6d to 39s per cwt. MOLASSEL—There is still firmness on the peat of luiders of West India, and full rates are askoo; the supply at market is moderate. The demand has fallen off, and only small parcels have been sold this week at from 15s 5d to 183 6d for low to flue quality. Bengal Treacle is not much in demand, and more desire is evinced to sell at 15s to 15s 6d. CocoA.—The inactiviiy in the market for West India Ihas further increased, and supplies continue large, re... pecielly of inferior sorts. There are sellers ratht r under former rates, but few buyers are to be met with. At public sale 556 bags of Grenada were nearly all taken in i at 363 to 435, and 50 bags 25 b a rr e l s T r i n id a d at 37 s t o 403 for low to middling grey. The deliveries for home trade purposes are, however, still larger than the former I year, but the stock is heavier. There are few buyers of Foreign, and sellers are ready.to accept the low rates of 25s to 27s per cwt. I CoPFEE.—Today Coffee met with little attention for , home-trade purposes or shipping, and former rates were Ibarely obtained, although the su pply was l ess t h an i n the early part of the week. At public sale 172 casks 182 bags Plantation Ceylon were sold; middling at 578 to 583, low middling 50s to 533, other sorts 39., 6d to 49s illi, pea berry 48s to 635. There are not sellers of good ordinary Native under 393 per cwt. 1 TEA.—Only a limited demand continues to exist for I good and fine Congou, and sellers are willing to accept rather lower rates, but ordinary and medium kinds continue in excellent request, and realised fully former terms ; there is also not a better supply. It is difficult to purchase c ,moron c;ean under 9id i per lb. For Green the market has a quiet aspect, I and most sorts can be purchased upon rather lower terms, las supplies continue to extend. Sc e nted T eas cannot b e 1 quoted cheaper, but less dt mend exists. ,IlicE.—Te-qay at public sale 3,212 bags of Bengal Rice were for the most part sold at stiffer rates; making the advance for the week 6d per cwt, good white realised 9s 61 to 103.

Holders of Nitrate of Soda exhibit firmness, and sales to a fair extent have been made at 12s . to 12s 6 i per cwt. _ CocHnEar.. - -Although the supply at market has been large this week, still full rates have been obtained, indeed the best sorts of silvers realised a small ad vance. There has been a 'good ccmand, especially for Russia, and at auction 550 begs of Hon duras silvers were -nearly all sold; ordinary went at 3s 61 to is Bd, middling and good middling 3s 9d to 4s, good 4s Id to 4; 3d, fine 43 41 to 4s 8c1; 37 b igs of black sold—low and mid at 3s 7d to 4s 3d, good 4s 5d to 4s l Id, fine 5s to 5s 2d; 40 bags Mexican silvers went at 3s 6d to 3s 8d for ord and mid, and 40 bags of black at 3s 91 to 3s lld per lb. Only small parcels have been imported this week. FRUlT.—Since our last a large business has been done at nu advance of is per cwt. The market is well sup plied with low and middling qualities. but the stock of fine Vostizza is reduced to about 30 butts, being the remainder of the cargo of the Earl of Leicester," which are held for 425.

INDIGO.--The quantity deelared for public competition on the 9,h October is 19,691 chests East India. Only small purchases have been made this week by shippers and home dealers, still the la‘t quarterly sale's rates are supported, but large parcels could not be disposed of upon those terms. The mat ket is quiet for Spanish, and a small parcel at public sale went at 3s 8d to 3s 10.1 for good fibres. SPIRITEL—A good business has been concluded in East India Bum this week, but at the moderate rate of Is 3d per gallon proof, and low quality at is 2id. Holders of Leeward Island went up to is 4d to is sd, still only a moderate trade has beon concluded, and there is a fair supply. For Demerara the marks t is in a quiet state,and sellers are ready to accept is 10d to 2s 2d kr 28 to 40 over, and a further fall in the value is expected to take place. The business concluded in Jamaica has been small for all purposes, still holders are not dis posed to make any further concession in the value. In the Brandy market there has again been much activity and prices keep on the advance. Sales of Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1848 have been made at 4s 8d to 4s 10d per gallon; for arrival large sales have been made at 4s 4d to 4s 6d. Geneva is not much in demand, and sellers are willing to accept Is 91 to is 10d for ord, and 21 3d to 3s 3d for fine. British made spirit is not cheaper, but the sales made have been of little moment. TALLow.—To• day prices were further depressed for Tallow, and not more than 36s 61 could be obtained on the spot for fine P. Y. C. in large parcels.

ENLIGHTENED JURTMEN.—About a week since, in a neighbouring village, an inquest was held upon the body of a poor man. Now it often happens that after the business has been ended and the coroncr left, the " gentlemen of the jury" discuss the " matters in ques tion," at the same time inhaling the contents of some three or four glasses of foreign spirits, and metamor phosing a certain foreign we d into ashes. In this last state of unalloyed happiness sat these verdictorians— glorious sons of Bacahus—when we entered the room; and having an interest in the cause of this man's death, we asked their verdict. One ji)lly•fa ce d man , very con tentedly puffing away at his long tube, asked his left hand friend if he recollected what " the krunner caw'd it," but he had forgotten. In succession each and all were applied to, and in vain. Bat suddenly a light of inspiration seemed to sullase the face of the jolly gentle man aforesaid, and he instantly replied, " All know neaw; it wur a Latin word the krunner caw'd it." This satisfied all present, ourselvos inclusive. Afterwards we were passing through the village, and heard one man ask another what the verdict was. " Whah," he says, "it's a quare word; ah think they cawn it mina. con. or else sine die,"— Wigan Times. Are 'gormandy and Brittany the apples used for cider are in extraordinary abundance. In the memory of man the trees were waver seen so abundant. The farmers have been obliged to Sx props repeatedly under the branches to enable them to support the heavy weight of fruit that bends them to the earth. The cider crop will, in most places, be twice or three thLea more abundant than in ordinary years. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. WAKEFIELD, SEPT. 28.—Our supply is pretty good this week; there is a large arrival of vessels at Guole.

The quantity of Wheat on offer to.day is only moderate, and principally composed of the new crop. The demand is rather slow, and late rates barely supported; some quantity remaining over unsold. Barley but little on offer; our maltsters not generally having commenced, the demand is very slow, and for malting but little inquiry, the finest malting being held at 28s to 30s per quarter. Beans, peas, and oats, short supply and slow sale, at late rates. LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 28.—With a continuance of unfa vourable winds our arrivals from Ireland and coastwise, as well as from abroad, are exceedingly light; our ex ports during the same time being equally restricted. The trade remains quiet, but in the few retail sales effected previous rates have been supported. Indian corn is held firmly at full prices. At this day's market there was a thin attendance of the trade. Wheat and flour met an exceedingly slow sa l e , a t p r i ces rather in favour of buyers. New Irish wheat neglected, although offered at a reduction of Id t o 2d per 701 b. Indian corn in slow request, and yellow must be quoted 6d per 48C1b lowtr, but fine white, being scarce, commanded rather more money. In other articles but few transactions took place, and prices remain without change. ItrroN, SEPT. 27.—We had an extensite supply at this day's market. Wheat a t a decline of 2s r quarter on last week's price and in other grain no alteration. White wheat 5s 9d to 6s 3d, red ditto 5s to 5.. 93, beans 4s 6d to 5s per bushel; barley 28s to 325; oats 17s to 23s per quarter. SCARBOROUGH, SEPT. 27..--We are liberally supplied with new wheat, and buyers try to purchase at loss money, but cannot succeed to any extent. New barley for malting finds buytrs; new oats are not offered in abuudanee, and, pima are well maintained. Salo for flour heavy, as buyers are holding back for lower prices. New wheat 53 9/1 to 64, old ditto 6; 31 per five &tones; malting barley 26a to 273, grinding barley 243 to 25s per qr of 32 stones ; new oats 8d to 9d, old ditto 9d to 101 per stone; superfine flour 373 to 38; seconds ditto 32 T 3 to 333 per suck of 20 st , ;nes. ' KNARESBOROUGH, SEPT. 26.—The market was mode rattly supplied with all kinds of grain, and priCes a .shade lower, with little business doing. Wheat 5s 61 to 94 3d, beans 4s 61 to 5s per bushel, barley 263 to 30s, oats 193 to 224 per squatter. EXETER, SEPT. 28.—Cattle Market.—There was an average supply of boasts, and a large one of sheep driven in. -Fat beef was rather less worth than last week; Inuf, of very good quality, sold at 83 per score, and 8a 61 was the highest price given for the best. ) Gocd fresh barreners were worth 6s 6d per score, but poor ones were a very drug sale at any price.

GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN. --The follow. ing appears in the Cork Constitutio3:—" The wcrks c ensequent on the boring of the tunnel from Spring lane to the Glenenire road are suspended, all the hands engaged on this portion of the works having been dis charged on Saturday evening. No further reason for this proceeding is given than that the directors are desir _ms, for a couple of years, to test the trsffic entering and leaving the city by the temporary station at Black pool, before they proceed further with the expeninve works consequent on opening the tunnel, and erecting a permanent station on Penrose's-marsh, adjoining the river Lee. It is said that the line will he opened to Blackpool on the 15th of next month, when the direc tors propose giving a ball and supper at the Corn Ex change to fifteen hundred. It is understood that his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant and the Countess of Clarendon will accompany the directors from Dublin on the occasion. and honour the ball with their pre sence." The Cork Reporter says:—"ln reference to the above paragraph, we regret to learn that the c.tuse assigned by the Great Southern and Western Il iilway Company, for the stoppage of the works at the tunnel, is—what they term the vexatious opposition they have received at the hands of the Wide. street Board, in claiming a roadway directly through the rail ss ay terminus. Surely some means of arranging this matter could be arrived at by arbritration, so as not to have so many hundred individuals as were employed turned adrift, and the completion of the line, which will be of such importance to Cork, prev.nted." THE EPIDEMIC.—We are happy to announce that during the past week the mortality in this city (Salis bury) has not averaged one per day. The trade of the ci y is reviving, and increased confidence is manifested by many timid persons, who took flight in the earlier stages of the disease, reappearing among us. In the neighbourhood things are also hems.; and it is confi dently hoped that in this district, at least, we have seen the worst, if not the last, of this terrible scourge.-- lisbury Herald.

George Quantock was brought up on a warrant, charged with obtaining manufactured goods to the extent of 301. 103. 31., the property of Mr. Lee, to bacco manufacturer, under false pretences. Mr. Warrand, a solicitor, said that, perhaps before calling his witnesses it would be better to give a short statement of who and what the prisoner was. He was only the previous day discharged at the Insolvent Debtors Court, after suffering over two years' impri sonment; and the Commissioner, when releasing him, said that it was with great regret the Court had been imposed upon to grant any relief from the funds with which it was entrusted, to enable him to come up for his discharge, as there was no doubt but that he was nothing better than an itinerant swindler. In his schedule he was described as George Quantock (commonly known as George Wood), of St. John's lane, Croydon, cabinet-maker ; George Lock, Battle-bridge, King's-cross, lintndraper ; and also at Huddersfield, in Yorkshire; George Slade, Goat-street, Swansea, provision dealer ; George Lock, grocer, Market-street, Romsey, Hampshire; George Self, grocer and pr ovi s ion .Turner,G dealer, at Gains bGoerooruggel , u L r i n n e c r o , l o n f s h i r e e fi , r a m n d o f H G a e n at Acton, in Middlesex, grocers and drap ers ; George oleryge in a Staffordshirendas Quinn, candlefactor, and dealer in soap ; G. Slade, Haywood, near Manchester, grocer, draper, &c. , Lloyd, Wood, and Co., grocers, drapers, dealers in snuff, tobacco, toys, &c., of Whitchurch, in Hereford shire; of Waterhouse-lane, Hull, Yorkshire, cabinet maker; again as grocer and dealer in almost every thing at Selby; and finally of 146, 'Old-street, St. Luke's, Middlesex, out of business and out of employ. It appeared that he had swindled persons to the amount of some thousands of pounds under seven different names, which he had changed again eleven times. He never stopped in one place more than six months, and never paid any rent, but disap peared suddenly, leaving debts to a large amount at every place which he visited. It would appear that in the present case the prisoner called on Mr. Lee, and made certain representations, besides giving two re ferences (one of them being the swindler Wright, who was lately tried at the Old Bailey and trans ported), which appeared to be satisfactory, and the goods were supplied; but Mr. Lee, on making in quiries, found that there was no such firm as Lloyd, Wood, and Co., Northchurch, Berkhampstead, and he had never seen the prisoner until he met him in the Insolvent Debtors' Court the previous day, when, upon his discharge, he was taken into custody on the present warrant. Mr. Morris Lee, of 34, Holborn-hill, tobacco manufacturer, said in the latter part of the year 1846 the prisoner called at my warehouse, and stated that he had a grocery and drapery establishment at North church, Berkhampstead, and he was doing a large business in the cigar and tobacco line. He wanted a list of prices, which I gave him, and he then said he would not make a large purchase, as he had a partner to please as well 23 himself, but would take some 51. or 61. worth of general assortments, and would write me from their place of business at Berkhampstead. About a fortnight after, the prisoner called again, and said he would buy a certain description of goods, and gave two references, one being in some court off Fleet street, and the other being a Mr. IV! ight.

Mr. Lee—l can't exactly recollect, it is so long ago, but I think it was in St. John's-wood. The prisoner called again, and gave me an order to the amount of 161. 17s 3d. Alderman GIBBS—When the first order was given what directions did he give ? Mr. Lee —lle told me they were to go by the carrier, Bell, Warwick-lane, addressed " Messrs.
