At Union-hall yesterday, Edward Hay wood, a clerk in the Custom-house, was charged with, inter marrying with Mary Ann Bush, his form ar wife, Eliza, being still alive. He was ordered to eider into 11 4 own recognizances, in the sum of 2001., to, appear to answer the charge on that day week. Walter LITERARY AND SCIENTXPIC. Hawkins, Esq. has a third time endea voured to obtain for the London Electrical Sco.iiety a l ive ;specimen of the gymnotus, but has failed, the animal not surviving the voyage. The private correspondence of the late Sir Alex ander Burnes reached England by the last overland mail, and will be published with as much dispatch as Possible. The action in this case was brought for the re covery of 281. 10s., for money lent and goods fur nished. The plaintiff is a tailor, residing in Feather stone-buildings, and the defendant was a customer of his. From the evidence adduced it appeared that the plaintiff had lent the defendant 201., and had furnished him with clothes to the amount of 81. 10s. The Jury gave a verdict for the full amount. WILLIS AND OTHERS V. BRYDGES. The plaintiffs in this case were the proprietors of the extensive vinegar yard, in Old-street, St. Luke's, and the defendant carries on business at Twickenham. The action was brought for the recovery of the sum of 71., for vinegar furnished to the defendant. Mr. Pearce, one of the travellers of Messrs. Willis, stated that he had called repeatedly on the defendant for the amount of his account, and had been put off by promising to pay from time to time.

CORN EXCHANGE. This week's arrivals' have been small of English Grain, good of Irish Oats, and fair of Foreign Wheat. The trade was extremely dull for Wheat. In other Grains the transactions were few, at former terms. F lour unvaried. SMITHFIELD. The number of cattle offered for sale was plentiful, but the demand was not brisk, the prime quality only being in demand. The best qualities of Mutton, Veal, and Pork met a ready sale at an advance of from 2d. to 4d. per stone. Beasts, 573 ; Sheep and Lambs, 4,750 ; Calves, 215 ; Pigs, 539. Beef, 3s. to 4s. 4d. ; Mutton, 3s. to 4s. 6d.; Veal, 33. 4d. to 4s. 10(1. ; Pork, 3s. 4(1. to 4s. Bd. COLONIAL MARKETS. There has been more disposition shown to purchase British Plantation Sugar, and the market generally has assumed more firmness. The business done amounts to about 2,000 hhds. Small parcels of Dominica Mo lasses have been sold at 28s. 6d. to 295., being barely previous prices. Mauritius went off much better than was anticipated, low greyish to fine yellow sold at 565. to 675., and very low to good brown at 435. 6d. to 555. 6d. Bengal went off at rather lower:rates for inferior sorts, but good white Benares brought 60s. to 68s. 6d., low greyish to fine yellow 575. to 625., low to good brown Khaur were taken in at 465.6 d. to 51s. Ceylon Coffee 645. 6d. to 655. for very good ordinary quality, being rather dearer; the remainder were taken in above the value, viz., at 665. ; Batavia, and good ordinary brown Singapore and Java, at 395. to 395. 6d. Few transactions have taken place in Cocoa, and consequently no alteration can be quoted in value. A fair business continues to be done in Rum, at prices a shade under those of last week ; the transactions consist of 450 puns. Jamaica, at 2s. 10d. to 2s. 6d. for 28 to 36 per cent. overproof, fine quality, 3s. Bd. to 4s. 4d. ; 50 puns. Demerara, 38 per cent. over, at 4s. 4d., and 250 puni.

Spices -2,500 bags Pepper (chiefly Penang), and 398 bags, 10 casks Pimento have been brought to auction; the former were mostly taken in at 2d. to 20. (except ing about 500 bags, which sold at 2d. for mid. quality) for mid. to good earthy, being a shade cheaper. TEA MARKET: Tea much the same as at the recent public sales, and a moderate business was done. The deliveries continue large, and the stock heavy. TALLOW MARKET. The demand for Tallow was steady, and prices were firmly sustained ; 48s. 6d. paid for Yellow Can dle on the spot, and 48s. 9d. for delivery in the first two months of next year. The importations fall short of last year. CURE OF CONSUMPTION AND ASTTIMA.--SeVeral medical gentlemen, interested in the successful treat ment for Asthma and Consumption, have frequently, within the last fortnight, witnessed, at 9, Craven street, Strand, the application of Mr. Cronin's new discovery for the cure of the above diseases, and heard the different patients express their sense of the immediate relief afforded by his treatment. Venables, Physician to the London Dispensary, and Lecturer on Chemistry ; Dr. Eagan, Mr. Pant, Mr. Forsyth, and other medical gentlemen who were present, seemed to take particular interest in the suc cess of this discovery, and examined with considerable attention the different patients, both before and after the operation. The cases which attracted most surprise from decided improvement manifested, were Mrs. Young, confirmed consumption, 87, Dean-str ee t, Soho ; Mr. Cartwright, confirmed consumption, Na vigation and Sloop-office, Customs ; Sinclair, mes senger, General Post-office, consumption ; Mr. Gering, at Mr. Smith's, 25, Strand, distressing asthma; Mrs. Lyon, consumption ; Thomas Potter, distressing asthma, &c. THE MURDER AND BURGLARY AT DERBY.—Holmes, the sweep, who with Bonsall and Bland, was con cerned in the late murder and burglary in the Misses Goddard's house at Stanley, after 501. had been offered for his detection, was captured by Keetes, the Leek constable, on Friday last. On the following morn ing, according to his own wish, he was taken before a Magistrate, and made a full confession. He excul pates himself completely : states Bonsall to have been the murderer of Miss Goddard, and points out a per son of the name of "Phil Donagan" as having parti cipated in the two former robberies at the house. The prisoners were to be finally examined on Satur day. The two persons, named Keeling and Green, who were taken into custody on suspicion, have been set at liberty. Last week's Derby Reporter contained notices of nineteen burglaries and robberies, several attempts at burglary, and one attempt at highway robbery, in and around Derby. This week we have five more to add to the catalogue ; the most serious of which is one, in which Mr. I owke, farmer, was way laid by four men about two miles from Derby, and robbed of bank notes to the amount of 2791. The miscreants have as yet escaped. 'MARRIAGE OF HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRIN CESS AUGUSTA OF CAMBRIDGE.--The preliminaries for the marriage of her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta of Cambridge (the eldest daughter of her Ma jesty's illustrious uncle) have been finally arranged, and the nuptial ceremony will take place at no very distant period. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived at Windsor on Wednesday last, for the purpose of communicating this interesting fact to her Majesty. The future husband of the Princess is his Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz, the eldest son of the reigning Duke, George V. The Queen's Royal and illustrious uncle, after partaking of luncheon with her Majesty, left Windsor Castle in the afternoon for Kew. It is expected that the ceremony will take place on the Continent. The bridegroom elect was born on the 17th of October, 1819, 'consequently his Royal High ness has just entered his twenty-fourth year. The Princess Augusta of Cambridge is in her twenty first year. MEDAL OF SIR I. M. BRUNEL.--The completion of that truly great and national work, the Thames Tun nel, has just been appropriately commemorated by the striking of a medal of its ingenious and indefatigable projector, Sir I. M. Brunel, executed by W. J. Tay. lor, from a design by Warrington. The profile of this eminent engineer is given in high relief, and, with a finished and delicate accuracy of detail, exhibits all those characteristics of deep thought, accurate observation, and indomitable perseverance, by which alone an undertaking of this novelty, magnitude, and danger could have been success fully accomplished. Whilst the arts are too habitually prostituted in the commemoration of achievements hostile to the peace of mankind and the dictates of humanity, let us, as good citizens of the world, grate fully hail this one happy effort of their resources, in honour of a work of great domestic usefulness, the memory and merit of which must endure as long as the river flows which it undermines. The obverse of the medal has the inscription. " Sir ISAM BERT MARX BRUNEL, F.R.S. ;" and the reverse, " Thames Tunnel from Rotherhithe to Wapping-, 1,200 feet. Commenced January, 1826, progressed 600 feet January, 1828 ; 180,0001. subscribed by pro prietors ; recommenced 1836 by Parliamentary grant, 270,000/. ; and completed 1842." DEATH OF THE HON. AND REV. GEORGE RUSH. OUT BOWLES, AI.A.—We have to record the demise on the 17th inst., at Barford House ' of the Hon. an d Rev. Geo rge R us h out Bowles, M.A., rector of Bar ford, broth er an d h e i r apparent to Lord Northwick, of Northwick Park, in the county of Worcester. The deceased was in his 71st year, having been born. July 30, 1772. He was admitted to holy orders in 1799, and married in 1803, Caroline, daughter of John, se venth Earl of Galloway, aunt of the present Earl, and likewise of Jane, present Duchess of Marlborough. 40 RTING — ji s----Ti"--------'ELLIGENCE.

BRAZ/LTAN TARIFF. We Subjoitill translation of the instructions issued by the Brazilian Government to the Commissioners appointed to prepare the new tariff on goods imported to that country. The Report of the Commissioners wotild be presented to the Brazilian Chambers, at their meeting, on the Ist of Ja.naary, which shows that it is not intended to make any change in the existing import duties before that time : BRAZILIAN TARIFF. —Th e instructions given by the Minister of Finance, Viscount, de Abrantes, to the Commissioners (45 in number, divided into nine sections) assigns to each section a different descrip tion of goods, wares, or merchandise, and are expressed as follows, viz.:— " Art. I. The Commissioners altogether, or divided into sections, shall hold their conferences or meetings in one of the offices at the C us t om -h ouse , at such times as the Chairman of the Commission shall ap point. And the Collector of the Customs shall render every assistance in his power to forward the labours of the Commission, when requested to do so by the Chairman. " 11. Any member not being able to continue his attendance shall intimate the same to the Chairman, who shall report to the Treasury, pointing out at the same time a proper person to fill the situation. " 111. In settling the new tariff, the respective sec tions shall describe as accurately as possible, and classify all the productions and merchandise, general objects of commerce. " IV. The Commission shall arrange in alphabetical order the names of all goods, wares, and merchandise, according to their respective classes, and prepare an index specifying the page where they are to be found in the tables of the tariff. " V. The amount of duty (not being less than 2 per cent., nor more than 60) shall be stated opposite each article of produce or merchandise described and classified in the said tables. " VI. The duties to which the produce and mer chandise to be imported for home consumption, re exported, or transhipped, shall be subject, shall be calculated (with such exceptions only as may be found 4pedient) according to the weight of solids to the contents of liquids, and to the number of such as can be readily counted. " VII. A table shall be annexed to the tariff of the tares to be allowed on all goods, &c., which cannot or ought not to be weighed separate from the packages or casks in which they are contained. " VIII. That in apportioning the duties the Com missioners must attend, " 1.. To their being articles of greater or less ne cessity :to the community atlarge, or to the com• fort of certain classes of the consumers. " 2. To the facility or difficulty of smuggling the same. 3. To the propriety of encouraging articles the produce of the country, or manufactured in it, or even of such as may in time become a substitute for those coming from abroad. " 4. To the utmost facility in calculating the res pective duties, so as not to impede the clearing the same through the different departments of the Custom-house. " IX. The Commissioners are required to lay down rules, by which the officers employed in the Custom house ought to be governed in the following cases : " 1. If the article or merchandise should be omitted in the tariff. "2. If any dispute should arise between the Cus tom-house officers and the proprietors or con signees of any gocds, as to their classification or amount of duties they ought to pay. " X. The Commissioners are equally required to propose any other measures which they may consider necessary or expedient for the more efficacious and ready collection of his Imperial Majesty's revenue of customs, and at the same time calculated to promote the natural course of commercial improvement and augmentation." The two chief articles in the above are Nos. V. and VIII. By No. V. it is shown that no differential du ties are contemplated in favour of or against any country. By the subdivisions of No. VIII. it is shown, however, that some intentions exist of levying pro tective duties for the encouragement of the home manufactures.. The effect which the mission of Mr. Ellis may produce in that respect will probably de pend on the concessions he may be authorised to make regarding the admission of Brazil sugars to British ports. MONEY MARKET and CI T Y NEWS, FROM THIS MORNING PAM. OF THIS DAY. ; CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The English funds have exhibited a good deal of activity to-day, and prices in general have advanced. The symptoms of a rise for the last two days have shown themselves, but now they ap pear in the most evident manner. Purchases for the public increased to-day, and the result of this is the improvement of Consols fpr Money to 93# to i, and for the Account to 934 to i. The market for the Reduced Stocks is supposed to have been favourably influenced by the conclusion of a large bargain en tered into a few days ago, which now, by the delivery of stock increasing the scarcity, has sent up quotations to the point at present held.

The answer is, that so far as the capital oes or the effect of g legal proceedings can be brought to or upon them, the shareholders alone are the sufferers ; but instances have occurred, in which, after exhausting these re sources, assets could not be found to meet the claims of the depositors and other creditors, who have con sequently become partakers of the general loss, though not to the same extent as the shareholders, who in such cases lose everything. • It should be stated, however, in the case of the Bank of Manches ter, that it has not stopped payment. Depositors con tinue to be paid as usual, an d from the statements cir culated, can be in no sort o f j eopardy. The share holders are coolly apprised of a loss, in round m them in the shape of call s t o make good deficiencies, and there,ers o withf 800 r , e O sp o t to th em of a further claim upon them, the matter ends.

The item of 800,000/. lost in two or three years by the Bank of Manchester would form a very good beginning of .the account. The Shareholders of the Bank of Ceylon held their first annual meeting to-day, at which was declared a dividend of 6 per cent, for the years operation of the Company. The Report of the Directors, and the ad dress from the Chair, represented the prospects of the undertaking as highly promising, and the assistance which the Government is affording i s regarded as satisfactory evidence of the good favour in which they stand. On a capital already subscribed of 73,875/., the nett p ro fi ts are sta t e d at 6,653/. T he English hareholde rs have paid 68,730 L, and the Colombo Shareholders 5,145/. • A branch bank has been opened at Candy, and from the universal support the present establishment has received at the hands of the mer chants, every success is anticipated. The following communication relative to the Spanish Treasury Bonds has been received from the Foreign office, by Mr. Tasker, Chairman of the Committee :___ "Foreign-office, Oct. 19, 1842. -. " Sir,--I am directed by the Earl of Aberdeen to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th inst.; containing a further exposition of the grievances to which the British holders of the Spanish Treasury Bonds of 1836 have been subjected by the failure of the Spanish Government to discharge the pecuniary obligations which it had contracted towards them ; and I am to acquaint you in reply, that Lord Aber- MURDEROUS ASSAULT AT DUNDEE. We glean the following particulars of the horrid affair from the Dundee papers of Tuesday, and other sources : James Duff, the unfortunate sufferer in the melan choly affair, rents the farm of Whitefield, in the parish of Kirkmichael ;. and Alexander M'Kenzie, the sup posed perpetrator of the horrid deed, rents the farm of Drumhead, in the parish of Glenisla, both in For farshire. Both appear to be extensive cattle-dealers, and in that capacity M'Kenzie purchased lately from Duff cattle and sheep to the value of 1,1801., which were to have been paid for on delivery. This, how ever, M'Kenzie did not do, but set off to the late Fal kirk Tryst for the purpose of selling them. Duff having some suspicion that the money would not he forthcoming, proceeded after M'Kenzie to Falkirk, where he learned that some of the stock had been sold by M'Kenzie at a less price than he _promised to pay for them. , The parties met, and Duff de• manded his money; M'Kenzie, however, on tvarious pretexts, evaded payment, and promised topay Duffon reaching Edinburgh. The parties left Edinburgh on Thursday morning, and arrived at Dundee at four o'clock p.m., when they went to the house of Mrs. Wallace, corner of Barrack-street, where tea was or dered. Before tea M'Kenzie went out, leaving Duff alone. On Setting to the foot of the stair in Barrack street, M'lt.enzie desired Duff to wait till he (M'Kenzie) went back for something; and Duff, seeing a man smoking, went forward to get a light of his pipe. .On being rejoined by M'Kenzie, they pro ceeded up Barrack-street, up the Constitution-road, thence by the side of the Newtyle Railway, and crossed the hill . by the east side of the Law. They then proceeded through several parks, till M'Kenzie entered the stripe of wood, and requested Duff to follow him. It was nearly half-past six'o'Clock in the evening. Duff was extremely anxious to keep out of the wood, but at last consented to follow Al%enzi P N and enter it. They wa lk e d along through the wood on a green rid e l a t e l y formed • to the westward. M'Kenzie then asked Duff to st e p before him, and he had no sooner done so than he heard the report of a pistol, and felt the contents lodged within him. On receiving the murderous shot, which entered the back between the left shoulder and spine, Duff sniggered f orwar d a f ew paces, and then looked over his shoulder, when he saw M'Kenzie standing still. Apprehensive that 111%€nzie would fire a second time, or come up and despatch him, Duff exerted every energy to push his way, till by the most extraordinary exertions, he reaches the house of James White, farm servant to Mr. Patullo, at Baldragon. On ar riving at the cottage he was unable to speak for some time, but on recovering explained to the inmates of the cottage, as correctly as he could, what had hap pened. Mr. Patullo immediately dispatched a mes senger on horseback into Dundee, for Dr. Cocks. The medical gentleman found a small wound betwixt the left shoulder and spine, which exhibited the appear ance of one caused by a shot from a gun or a smaller weapon. During the night a deposition from Duff of the facts of the case was taken down by James Thorns, Esq., J.P., and information was conveyed to Dundee, by Dr. Davidson. As to M'Kenzie, it appears that, supposing Duff to be dead, he ran off towards Dundee. He returned to Mrs. Wallace's within a few minutes of eight o'clock, to sleep 411 night. He stood at the door and inquired of the servant if Mrs. Wallace was at home. Having received an answer that she was expected to be in shortly, he went away, and returned in less than an hour, bringing a young man, a nephew, along with him, who is apprenticed with an ironmon ger in town. The young man slept with M'Kenzie all night. Information regarding the horrid event was also sent to the police between eleven and twelve that night; and CaptainMackison, with his usual vigilance, lostno time in endeavouring to find out the murderer. Guards were placed at the railway stations, and at the steam-boats. Amons others, an officer was sent to the railway a few minutes before' the starting train, and, communicating to the guard the carriage, e o s fc r the h p e e tion of the person he wanted, the guard immediately The officer told him pointed to M'Kenzie, who was se ted and said, " There's your Man." that he must come out and go along with him. lie e out and walked made no resistance, but instantoleytcham n e A o i a e ffi c k e i s r obny for the ay to the police-office, inquiring if anything had come over Duff office, he was informed by Caplitat: On arriving at the crime he had been taken u His former firmness and hat indifference then left 13. • him; he got much agitated, and cried severely. hi m , and deposit receipts for oOfn2sesarching his person, bank notes to the amount $. 71/. 12s. sd. were got on riemuir, 721.

Mr. Baker starts in business 'as a Urn Exchange speculator on a capital of 5,9741. 9s. 3d., and, with this bagatelle, he con trives to run into debt to the extent of little short of half a million. The debit side of the account is made chargeable with the sum of 34,3641. 16s. 10d., as due to "creditors," and with 386,2011. 3s. 3d., as the sum for which the bankrupt has come under acceptance. There is, moreover, the large amount of 103,9441. 17s. 7d. entered on both sides of the balance sheet as "liabilities." Mr. Baker's " pro fits" are put down at 58,237/. ss, Ild., against which there is an item of " depreciation in property" esti mated at 147,5601. 17s. 10d., and "losses" ascer tained, of 35,881/. 17s. Bd. The interest account presents a sum of 15,361/. 3s. 6d., to which may be added, in the shape of expenditure, for charges in trade, 4,6381. 7s. 7d., and for personals from April 1, 1840, to Sept. 6,1842, 1,9891. 65. 2d. For debts due to the estate, and " property consigned abroad," the creditors have the aggregate of 5,2p41. 9s. 9d. to look to in reduction of their claims on Mr. Baker, and property held by them amounting to 266,037/. 13s. Ild. Such is our brief analysis of the abridged balance-sheet of one of the individuals who had been operating so extensively for " the rise " in corn. SUN.—The English Funds retained their elasticity up to the close of business, and there was a fair demand for investment. Consols left off at 931 to 931 for Money, and 931 to 938 for Time. Exchequer Bills were 575. prem., and India Bonds 475. to 495. prem. New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. touched 1011. The statement of the Times relative to the suspen sion of two of the Surveyors-General of the Customs' Department, is at least premature, no such occur rence, as we are credibly informed, ,having yet taken place, as both parties were on dnty to-day. The Foreign market retains its dull appearance, except as regards Portuguese Stock, which, for some unaccountable reason or otter, has been rather sought after at a rise of nearly a half per cent. It cannot be conceded that the prospects of Portugal are at all bright, but the facility offered for the transaction of business, by the allowanceof dealings in the converted stock, partly account for the advance. The New Five per Cents. brought 34 to 38*, the Converted ranged from 32 up to 33, and the Three per Cents. were at 22/. Chilian Bonds were worth 89 to 83, and Brazilian 64, lceing steady. Spanish Actives were marked 16 to IQ, and the Three per Cents. 211. Dutch Two-and- a-Half per Cents. touched 52i to 52:1, and the Five per C en t s . rema i ne d at 1001 to 100 i.

ENORMOUS EEL.-- On Saturday afternoon one of the largest, if not the largest, eels ever found in the Tay , was captured at Inchyra. This monster of its. species weighs 36ilbs., measures 5 feet 7 inches in length, and 20 inches in girth at the thickest part. It had with the flowing of the tide, in its perambulations, landed behind a mud bank, where it so seemed to enjoy itself by floundering about, as to forget the likelihood of its return to the river being stopped by the ebbing of the tide. Several persons connected with the river police, who had observed it, watched upon the beach until they saw escape impossible, when they immediately attacked it with sticks anal other weapons, and, after considerable labour, over came this great giant of his tribe. They sent him t o Perth, where he. has since been visited by crowds of people at Mr. Buist's yard, Watergate.— Tyne Mer cury. s Been has spoken to the .

THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR.---This day being the anniversary of the victory obtained by the immor tal Nelson over the combined •fleets o f F rance and Spain, off Cape Trafalgar, on the 21st of October, 1805, the Victory, lying in Portsmouth Harbour as the ordinary guard-ship, exhibits annually, upon the occasion, a scene of extreme interest. The vessel is decked throughout with flags andother naval insignia, and a profusion of laurels and evergreens, which im part to her a very imposing appearance. A grand dinner is given on board, at which the Ad miral presides in person, and,lif circumstances will admit of it, the muster of that officer is held on that especial day. A general invitation to dinner also is issued to all the officers of the ships in commission in the harbour. The animation that pervades the crew upon the occasion, and the enthusiasm manifested by the very few who fought by Nelson's side when he so gloriously fell in the arms of victory, are well worthy a description from the pen of some .naval historian. There are still surviving on board the Victory two of the brave fellows who shared in the glories of which to day is the anniversary. William Booth, the boat swain's mate, who at the battle of Trafalgar was one of Nelson's boys in the ward-room, and Philip Bar row, who fought by the ninth gun on the main deck, are still old seamen on board. There are also several others, who have since been appointed to the Victory from the Royal Sovereign and other ships, which were engaged in the above memorable action. Among them is Mr. Hughes, the gunner, and Mr. Cator, the additional acting -master. All the men who stood the brunt on the.2lst October, 1805, belonging to the dif ferent ships in the harbour, dine on board the Victory on this celebrated day, and are allowed grog cit/ libi tum to keep alive those patriotic feelings which the - immortal hero of the Nile, Copenhagen, and Trafal gar inspired his men with on the day of his deat h, 1p Inspector r s ' of *Pal and which are still recorded in the memorable wards which he signalled throughout the British fleet upon that occasion, and which are stamped upon rtp t r hepop, the Captain's state-rooms, and . upon ,,j a ,,n ga ian _ expects imme diately below the figure-head, VIZ.— 4 g d that every man will do his ditty."

The fore topsail of - the brig caught the well-known lion figure head of the Dreadnought, forced him off his legs, and capsized him overboard into the stream, leavirq his tail behind. The .

John Parker, an extremely fine handsome young man, a private in the Ist Regiment of Life Guards, and Thomas Harris, a civilian, were charged with violently assaulting police-officer Phillips, whilst in the execution of his duty, and also with assaulting a person whose name did not transpire. The officer stated that he was on duty at two o'clock this morning in Great Russell-street, when he heard a disturbance. lie came to the spot, and found the prisoners quarrelling, and in altercation with a gen tleman. The prisoners became very violent, and ha attempted to take them into custody ; they resisted, and witness called on a gentleman who was passing to assist him. The soldier then tripped him up, and kicked witness, and ran away. The gentleman whom the witness had called to assist him pursued him, and he was knocked down. The witness pursued the pri soners, and after a violent struggle they were both taken to the station-house. The prisoners, in their defence, merely said they were sorry for what they had done. Mr. TWYFORD said he should fine the prisoner Harris ten shillings, but with the soldier he should not be so lenient; he must be committed for seven days, without a fine. A Corporal of the regiment stepped forward and said he hoped the Magistrate would mitigate the punishment with respect to the soldier, as he was a very good man, and the effect of his being sent to prison would be that he would be discharged from the regiment, it being a rule at the Horse Guards that any man in this regiment being committed to prison would be discharged. Mr. TWYFORD, after consulting with Mr. Barnaby, said he would not commit the prisoner to prison, but fine him 40s. for the assault; The money was paid. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) William Ashley and Samuel Wank, two mere lads, chimney-sweepers, just , out of their apprenticeship, but who have been repeatedly in custody on different charges of felony, were placed at the bar, charged on suspicion of stealing a silver salt-spoon and a silver tea-spoon from the Erictheum Club-house, in St. James's-square. It appeared that, yesterday morning, the hall porter found the prisoners with their soot bags, &c., in the kitchen; and on inquiring what was their business, the first named prisoner replied that they were sent from Mr. Andtew's, in Crown-court, St. James's, chimney sweeper, who did that business for the establishment. In consequence of this repre sentation they were allowed to pass on—but suspicion as to the truth of their statements being excited they were watched, and the prisoner Wank was seen at tempting to break open a cheque box in the kitchen, with a pair of scissors, he found lying beside it—no doubt concluding that there was money in it, which happened not to be the case. Nearly at the same time the elderprisonerAshley, was seen coming out of the breakfast hall, where he had no right to have entered, and by some means they left the house un noticed, but within ten minutes afterwards the plate in question was missed from the breakfast-room. In formation was given to the police of the C division, in consequence of which the prisoners were traced out and apprehended by Inspector Plume, of the C divi sion, in the purlieus of Westminster. There being no chance of tracing the stolen pro perty, the prisoners were committed for three months for being found on the premises with intent to com mit felony. MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.) In consequence of an application made yesterday morn*s. to Mr. Long, the sitting Magistrate, by Mrs. Dino*, for his advice and assistance, she stating that her husband wished her to return to her former lodg ings, in Adam-street, Manehe'ster-square, and ex pressing her determination not to do so, as the house bore an infamous character, The Rev. Mr. Dillon appeared in Court to-day, and requested Mr. Long to listen to his explanation, as, if uncontradicted, his wife's statement might do him considerable injury. He said that he had taken the lodgings in Adam-street, in June last, and with his wife lived there for two months, but differences arising, from the violence of her character, he re moved to other lodgings, where he lived for six weeks. These, also, they wer e obliged to leave, till at l ast t i red of changing he refused to go to new lodgings, and went to Mrs. Harris in Adam-street, who knew well his unhappy family circumstances, to request her permission to return again to her house. She hesitated on account of Mrs. Dillon's violent conduct and ungovernable temper, but at last consented, and, (concluded the liev. Gentle man,) Mr. and Mrs. Harris have kept the same house for the last seventeen years. if the house was of the description represented by my wife, I as a clergy man would be the last to countenance it, but I am ready to make oath before God that it is in every way highly respectable. Mr. LONG asked if the house was known to the police ? when Inspector Tedman said that he knew the house well, and it was notorious for harbouring prostitutes of the worst character, many of whom had been tried at Newgate. Mrs. Harris, who was in Court, denied the state ment, and appealed to the Rev. Gentleman for con firmation, but he had bolted instanter. UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.) Mary Lonstock Strutly was charged with deserting her infant child, aged six months, by leaving it un protected in a passage in one of the neighbouring streets. It appeared that the primmer's husband was transported a few years ago, since which period she formed an intimacy with another man, by whom she had a child, which was born in Christchurch work house. This child she left in a passage a few nights ago wrapped up in flannel, and in such a situation that it was only astonishing it was not trodden upon and killed. A. policeman, in going up this passage, found the infant as above described and having conveyed it to the statio n h ouse, the mother was subsequently taken into custody. Having admitted the charge, The MA GISTRATE said, the punishment Magistrates had the power of inflicting for such offences was not at all adequate, and he should therefore recommend the Guardians to indict her at the sessions. The action in this case was brought by the plain ' tiff, a grocer, cheesemonger, and oilman, carrying .on business at Blackheath, against the defendant, who is a gentleman residing in that neighbourhood, for the sum of 171. ss. 7d. for goods furnished to him. The defendant having allowed judgment to go by default, the Jury gave a verdict for the full amount claimed. The Court having disposed of several other actions upon bills of exchange, lose at an early hour. IN RE JOHN RICHMOND. ' This day was fixed for the final examination of the bankrupt, who carried on business as a merchant in Lime-street. A solicitor made the following application on be half of a gentleman named Stuart. It appeared that, in January, 1839, Mr. Stuart entered into partner ship with the bankrupt, which was dissolved at the latter end of the same year. At the dissolution, a sum of 5,099/. 9s. 3d. was found to be in the hands of Messrs. Stone, bankers, on the partnership account, and eventu ally it was determined that it should be referred to arbi tration to decide what portion of this was to be paid over to Mr. Stuart as his share, after the winding up of accounts. The arbitrators met about six weeks ago and their award was, that he was entitled to the sum of 4,6711. 2s. sd. as principal, and a further sum of 4081. 16s. 9d. for interest on the advance, and that the bankrupt was to be entitled to 15/. 195., thus making up the sum in the bankers' hands—the bankrupt :to be required to sign the joint cheque for the amount of the above award. The application, therefore, was that the bankrupt be required, with the concurrence of the Court and the official and trade assignees, to sign a cheque upon Messrs. Stone for Mr. Stuart's dividend as awarded by the arbitrators. Mr. Commissioner EVANS said, for the satisfaction of the creditors it was proper that this matter should come before the Court as publicly as possible. He thought it was the duty of the bankrupt to sign the cheque if the validity of the award was not impugned. After some further discussion, the accounts not being deemed sufficiently perspicuous, the examina tion was adjourned to the 22d December next. 1 ' i! tp3pleals L dlceei d o swe r Lord velo,rhee D terhrietr t n r ao n g i i n tu , ou:cful t ,:.4sa v i)t l h t: ::,the has v i It, d i lc o uh n e e l:. a c il v:Tr ,: t i l ne h dri i znnige::sirti arelil t-ratruganizuth:atceamsea, n su s c a cr...;:d h ec e l. y: t st s e c :l i a n : t .

SCARBOROUGH, OCT. 19.—An occurrence of an awful descriptic,n took place at Middlesbort mgh yes terday (Tuesday, I8th) morning, at a quarter past nine o'clock, the steam-boiler belonging to the iron manufactory (principally used for making rails for railroads) of Messrs. Bulcho and Co. explothrg, which blew the roof of the building up, and, sad to relate, the principal part fell upon the men at work, where they had just arrived from breakfast. About 100 men are employed, but to my latett in formation it could not be - stated how many were on the premises at the moment ; two hours, however, after the accident I had some converaation with a re spectable gentleman (resident in the town) wh o had then left the ruins, and had seen about fourteen bodies taken out most sadly mutilated and scalded, of course quite dead. All the particulars I could collect in my route from Stockton to this place I forward, thinking it will be the earliest. What is above stated may be relied upon; other exaggerated accounts were in circulation, but I proved them from conversation with various parties to be er roneous. I have handed you nothing more than I consider will be found correct. The same manue tory had an explosion about six months sink, when one life only was lost; what it may be now, time will shortly show. It is the general opinion that the en gine was working beyond its power, which caused the boiler to explode. Middlesborough is a town on the south bank of the river Tees, about four miles from Stockton ; the Viso towns are connected by railway. BOROUGH OF WEIGHMOUTH AND DIELCOMBE REGIS.
