He was in plain clothes, and he called the female who was behind the bar on one side, and informed her who he was and that he should summon her. She replied he had seen nothing to make a case against the house, and that one of the men was a lodger, and the others his friends. The female in question who attended for the de fendant, denied there was ,any drinking, and said the measure and glasses on the counter were those that had been u3ed the previous night. Mr. Alderman Wire said he was bound to believe the oath of the policeman, and he found the defendant had been previously convicted. The defendant replied the conviction alluded to took place four years since, during the lifetime of Mrs. Leighton, and was the only complaint that had been brought against her during 55 years she resided in the house. Mr. Alderman Wire said he should in this case fine the defendant only in the costs, and his reason for doing so was not that he disbelieved his statement, but be. cause he disapproved of an officer going into a house in disguise. Mr. D. Morgan, of the Woolpack,"Half•moon-street, was summoned for a similar offence. Police serg,eaut 8 litat.:(l that about half-past eleven o'clock on Sunday morning last he found 20 persons in front of the defendant's bar (men and women) drinking. Pots and glasses were on the counter, which was wet. The defendant admitted the fact, but excused himself by stating tbat he was up-stairs at the time, where he had been confined for several days previous from illness. He was fined 10s. and costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) MANSION.FIOUSE. CHARGE OF LIBEL.—M. Roman ne tti, a French gentle man, residing at 75, Oxford-t errace , Hyde-park, w as charged before the Lord Mayor with libel, in writing and sending to Mr. Garratt an insulting, slanderous, and libellous letter, reflecting on the character of Mr. Cor- bett, his partner, and with also forwarding a similar letter to the latter gentleman. Mr. Parry appeared for the prosecution. The pri soner, who was unable to speak English, was unde fended, but had the assistance of a French gentleman, named Pinton, a French advocate, as his interpreter. Mr. Parry stated that Mr. Corbett and Mr. Garratt were partners, carrying on business as wine merchants, Old Jewry, and were gentlemen of the highest respe o . taiiility. In the early part of 1353 the defendant sepa. rated from his wife, and by the deed of separation, of which Mr. Corbett was one of the trustees, the wife, who was possessed of property to the amount of 2001. per annum in her own right, agreed to allow the defers. dant 301. per annum out of her property in this country, and 251., the rent of an estate belonging to her in Cor sica. The defendant bad received these amounts under the deed for two years, but in consequence of some dis agreement between himself and wife, and who had sued him in the Boulogne courts, the defendant repudiated the deed, and had subjected Mr. Corbett and also Mr. Lowe, the gentleman who prepared the deed, to much annoyance. On the 6th October Mr. Garratt received a letter signed by the prisoner, in which he charged Mr. Lowe and Mr. Corbett as "conspirators," "conspira tors to defraud him," " an association of robbers," c , a troup of conspiring robbers," in withholding his rents, &c., &c. The proceedings were instituted under 6 and 7 Vic., chap. 96, commonly called Lord Campbell's Libel Act. Evidence was given in support of the charge , from which it appeared the defendant's wife was an English lady. Mr. Corbett and his brother were the lady's trustees. In order to allow the defendant to obtain legal assist ance the case was adjourned for a week. the defendant entering into his own recognisances of 1001. GUILDHALL.

He and his witnesses gave a diffront account of the transac tion to that by the complainant, and said tae latter struck him first. A policeman was called in, but the complainant was reluctant to give the defendant into custody until he insisted on it. At the station the com plainant offered to settle the matter for ss.

AN UNGRATEFUL THIEF.—Eliza Neal, residing at 15, Fitzroy-place, Tottenham-court-road, was charged before Mr. Long with stealing a gown, and ether articles, the property of Emma Sims,, a married woman, living at No. 114, Grove-street, Camden-town. The complainant stated that some time since she knew the prisoner, who was in very good circumstances, and for whom she (complainant) was in the lialAt of charring. Complainant met her on Monday evening in the Hamp stead-road, when she was told by the prisoner that she was in great distress and was iu want of a lodging. Complainant had pity on her, and invited her to take a share of her bed,.and the next day gave her a breakfast and dinn-r. The prisoner and complainant left together, but while she (complainant) was at a neighhour's she was informed that there was a strange female in her room. She subsequently was informed that she bad obtained a key from some one in an adjoining house, with which she bad opened ber room door. Upon returning home complainant missed a gown, a neck tie, and some other articles. The prisoner had not been seen by complainant until taken into custody by a po liceman. The daughter of complainant in addition said that she saw the prisoner in her mother's room, and that she had a bundle in which was a gown, and some other articles that she was also about to take away. S 31, sergeant of police, stated that when he appre hended the prisoner the complainant was with him, and that upon her seeing the prisoner she said to her, " That is my neck-tie you have on." The prisoner asked the complainant to forgive her. Witness found that the pri soner had pawned a pair of shoes belonging to com plainant. He has not been able to discover any more of complainant's property. The prisoner was remanded. THAMES. ALLEGED FALSE IMPRISONMENT AT SEA. This morning Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, renewed an ap plication for an assault summons against Captain Henry Peachey, for falsely imprisoning John Doyle, a mariner on board the ship Clara, on her voyage from Southamp ton to Swan River, three years and a half ago. The man was imprisoned for 78 days, on board the Clara, in a place built for the purpose, which was only four feet square, and between decks. On the arrival of the man in the colony he was taken before a magistrate, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment ; but after he had been in prison a fortnight only the governor of the colony interfered, liberated him from durance vile, and gave him an appointment in the water police, which he filled for upwards of three years. The complainant alleged that he had committed no offence whatever, and that the imprisonment was illegal. Mr. Yardley doubted whether be had power to inter fere in the matter, and it was doubtful whether false im prisonment could be considered a constructive assault, but gave Mr. Smith liberty to renew his application. Mr. Smith now came armed with many authorities, and said he would begin with the weakest and close with the strongest argument. Archbold on Criminal Law gave the form of an indictment, which was the ordinary one always followed in an indictment for false imprisonment, where there was no actual assault or lay ing on of hands, and in the course of that form it said, "the prisoner did unlawfully mike an assault, and him, the said prisoner, did unlawfully and injuriously impri son the prosecutor. The evidence to sustain that indict ment," Archbold said, " was for the prosecutor to prove the false imprisonment." In all actions where there was no assault, but only imprisonment, it was always stated in the declaration there was an assault and imprison ment. Mr. Yardley said an action for false imprisonment was rather an action for trespass. Mr. Smith did not see how there Gould be a personal trespass without an assault ; but in addition to that, in Russell on Crimes, page 864, it was stated that unlawful imprisonment was also an assault for which the law de mands public vengeance, as a breach of the Ring's peace. The loss sustained by the confinement of one of the King's subjects was, by the same authority, stated to be an infringement of the good order of society; and then referred to Hawkin's Pleas of the Croton, cap. 60, sec. 7, and vol. iv. of Blackstone's Commentaries, page 218, and the precedents of actions and indictments for false imprisonment. He submitted he was entitled to the summons. Mr. Yardley said the last argument was quite suffi cient, and granted a summons against Captain Psachey for an assault on John Doyle: ROBBERY IN THE EAST AND WEST INDIA DOCKS. Cha,rles Dunnegan, a middle•aged man, having the ap pearance of a dock labourer, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing 211bs of copper nails, the property of some person unknown. William Charles Nicholson, a constable in the employ of the East and West India Dock Company, said he re oeived information last night that a man had gone through some broken palings into the Colliers' Dock. He went after him and found the prisoner close by Bass's ale stores, in the dock, and on searching him found a bag concealed beneath his clothes, which con tained 211bs of copper nails, such as were used in ship building. The bag was in front of his chest and reached down to his legs. He asked the prisoner where he ob tained the nails, and he replied that he gave a man 6d. for them. He inquired of the prisoner if hel'knew the man, and be said be did not. The nails were worth Bd. per lb., and were quite new. The prisoner, in defence, said he bargained with a man for the nails. A shilling was asked for the nails, and the man agreed to take 6d. for them. Mr. Yardley—And those nails are worth 14s. at least. The depositions having been completed, the prisoner was asked if he pleaded guilty or not guilty. The prisoner—l paid 6d. for the nails. Mr. Yardley—Do you plead guilty or not guilty? The prisoner—l am not guilty. The prisoner was committed for trial. SOUTHWARK. CONVICTION UNDER THE NEW CRIMINAL JUSTICE AM. — INCONVENIENCE TO WITNESSES.-11enry Copping' a young fellow, about 19 years of age, was brought before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with stealing three pair of boots from the shop of Mr. Robert Milne, boot and shoe maker, Christchurch. The proAecutor deposed that on the previous evening ho Pl•IV the prisoner loitering about his shop where tl:a e were several pairs of Wellington boots for sale. About 8 o'clock he missed three pair inside the doorway, a n d on looking out he saw the prima naming May fiat hp his legs would carry him with thy boots unfler his arm He pursued him, calling out " Stop thief," when he threw the boots into the mob and bolted up sl court, which fortunately had no thoroughfare. A constable being on the spot took him into cu‘tody. T'eis !Ring a case coming under the new Criminal Justice Act, 18 and 19 Vic., cat. 126, which empowers magistrates to summarily convict offenders 'pleading guilty, inetead of committing them to the sessions for trial, thereby en• tailing great expense on the rate-p:yers. Mr. A'Beckett .ordered the dericsitions to be taken and read over, when he asked the prisoner whether he wished to plead guilty before him or go to the sessions? The prisoner replied that he should plead guilky, throwing himself on the mercy of his Worship. Mr. A'Beckett accordingly committed him for three mouths to the House of Correction, with hard labour. Another young man was charged with stealingapair of hoots, the property of a fellow lodge: in Southwark. The prisoner was apprehended at Long Stratton, i n Norfolk, by one of the Norfolk constabulary, and brought to this police-court, when he pleaded guilty, and was committed for three months, under the New Act. The constable asked .for his expenses in bringing the prisoner to London, which Mr. A'Beckett allowed, and gave a certificate on the county treasurer, Mr. Kerrick. That gentleman, however, lived at Dorking, and had no officer in the neighbourhood of the metropolis. The constable said he had taken the certificate to the officer of the Clerk of the Peace, and there he was referred to Dorking. Great expense and inconvenience would re sult from his going there, and as he was expected to re turn to his duty he could not go to this place. What was he to do as he had no money to take him back to Norfolk ! Mr. A'neckett considered that some person ought to be authorised by the Treasurer of the county to pay such witnesses at the Metropolitan Police Courts, as they ought not to be put to any inconvenience. In the present instance the Clerk would advance the money on the certificate, but he hoped that the Treasurer would take immediate steps to remove the inconvenience. M.4RKIT NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

A politician of great acumen, who to-day spoke on the subject of the Danubian Principalities, :gave four good reasons why Austria should not desire to possess them. They were the following 1-1. The Austrian frontier towards Russia is already too long, as has very recently been seen. 2. As Austria is endeavouring to formthe numerous races inhabit ing the Empire into one great and Civilised nation, she would materially increase the difficulty of her undertaking if she had anything to do with Moldavia and "'Wallachia, whiCh are inh a bit e d by Romanen, &laves, Greeks, and Gypsies. 3. Vienna, the seat of Government, is at an enormous distance from Jassy and Bucharest. 4. If the Danu bian Principalities belonged to Austria she would always be obliged to keep a large army in them in order to secure herself against any attack on the part of Russia. A fifth reason which might have been given is, that Austria has enough to do with its Italian and Hungarian provinces, without having to look after a little army of Boyards, which would never cease te plot against her. HAY MARKETS. Swriarratn.—Meadow hay, 31 10s to GI ; cloves ditto, 3/ 15s to 6l lOs ; and straw, 11 8e Od to 1112 s Od per I.ossi A fair averago supply and a sluggish demand. CUMBERLAND.—Meadow hay, 3/ lss to 6/ 10s ; cloves do.. R/ 15s to 61 12s ; and straw, V 8s to 1 1 139 per loan. Both hay and straw mot a dull inquiry, on former terms.

MINES.— To the mere casual observer it may seem matter far surprise that, whilst the greatest depression exists in Government securities and in railway stocks, mining shares are not only well supported, but aro more sought after as means of investment, as well as of specu lation. Railway stocks, which for a time were the prime favourites with all who bad money to invest, and were the principal shares dealt in by by the Stock Exchange body, are in a manner "used up," and are declining as much in public estimation as in profitable returns for the money invested in them.—Mining Journal. AURORA BOREALIS.—On Tuesday night the north western quarter of the heavens was illuminated by a brilliant aurora, which extended from the visible hori zon several degrees towards the zenith, with here and there a more brilliant pencilling of rays, which corru-- cated more or less as they shot upwards. It was the first decided symbol of approaching winter we hay- had, and Mail. yesterday felt keen and frosty.—Glasgow Daily RAILWAY AND CANAL COMPETITION FOR THE NORTHERN AND MIDLAND TRAFFIC.—LEEDS, OCt. 11.— The railway companies or this district have just entered upon a contest with the Aire and Calder Navigation and the Water Carrying Companies, which is likely to prove a most costly proceeding to all parties. Already the rates of freight have been reduced considerably below what mast be the actual cost of carriage, especially by the water carrying companies, who appear determined, if possible, to sweep the traffic of the district. The rates of carriage between London and Leeds have been reduced 6s. Bd. per ton in most instances, whilst bale goods and the higher class of merchandise are carried between Leeds and Hull for exportation to any other part at 4s. 2d. per ton, including collection, delivery, and all other charges. Goods from Bradford, in the same way, are carried to Leeds by the light vans of the Aire and Calder Company, and forwarded by water at the nominal rate of ss. per ton. We understand that Halifax, Huddersfield, Manchester, Liverpool, and the whole district across the island, is likely to be competed for in a similar manner. The competition has extended to the traffic between Hull and Hamburgb, and freights between these two places are at merely fancy prices, neither company daring to advertise its charges, but each taking goods for exporta tion at nominal rates. Where this ruinous competition is to end we cannot imagine ; but we should advise the shareholders in the respective undertakings to take some I speedy steps towards terminating this costly experiment .

It is doubtful whether M. Bunsen will accept the nomi nation, as he had declined every request to become a candidate on account of ill health. The ludepen dance adds : " His election is not less significative, 'under present circumstances. Recollecting the motives that led to M. Bunsen's recall from the English Embassy in 1854, his nomination denotes a feeling favourable to the policy of the Western Powers." STATE OF TRADE. (From; the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, Sept. 12.—The intelligence from Lon don ye , terday that the Bank of England bad not fur ther advanced their rates of discount, afforded some re lief ; but the market is still very dull ; and whilst buyers evince an unwillingness to come under engage ment, sellers are beginning, in some cases, to feel the want of money, and rather pressing for sales. Long cloths, I' cloths, and domestics, though less de pressed than shirtinge, are l ower i n pr i ce, with much irregularity. Printing cloths have withstood the influ ences affecting the market better than an y ot h er fa b rics; but have not escaped without some depreciations in value. Yarns, generally, are dull of sale; but warps and cops have been more pressed on the market than other kinds of twist, and have, consequently, suffered most in price. LEEDS, Oct. 12.—Considering the unsettled state of the money market, and other disturbing causes, which are at present exercising considerable influence on.corn rnercial affairs, there is quite as much business doing in the woollen cloth trade as can reasonably be expected During the current week, there has only been a mode rate attendance of buyers in the town, and the business done has been of a quiet character, and principally in goods suitable for the winter trade. %HALIFAX, Oct. 12.—The wool market has ruled slacker this week, and prices incline in favour of the buyers. BARNSLEY.—We are glad to have to state that the fancy trade for the foreign roarket still continues to im prove. More bands are set on every day by the houses engaged in the manufacture of these fabrics. 1 ETTEK FROM . MR. LUCAS, M.P. The Freeman's Journal thus introduces the fol owing letter from Mr. Lucas : " We publish with a mehincholy satisfaction a letter addressed by Frederick Lucas to his friend, Father Tom O'Shea. It will be read by Irishmen with deep emotion, and many a manly heart will melt to tears as the eye rests on the words of joyous resignation with which a mail who never swerved from the path of honour and duty can contemplate the probable close of his eartbly career. Thank God, the last accounts from England are more cheering, and indicate a favourable change, which given us yet to hope that our friend may be spared to his family and his adopted country:— " Staines, Sept. 28. "My dear Father Tom—l don't know whether lam glad or sorry tbat your notion of my disorder is so mis taken. The truth is that it is pretty fairly spread over most of the organs of my body--that I am now suffering under enlarged heart, bronchitis, congested liver, inert kidneys, a stomach that re f uses f oo d , asthma that for bids sleep, and, to crown all, the dropsy, As Sidney Smith says in one of his letters, "I have seven or eight complaints, but in all otherrespects I am perfectly well." In plain and sober seriousness, my dear Father Tom, I have given up all hopes of life, havo received the last sacraments, and though, perhaps, not immediately to die—for this is in God's band, yet I have now no other business than to make the best preparation I can for the judgment-seat of the Almighty, and to request all the prayers of 'my friends to help me through this fearful passage, which I hope may be from death to life. " ' Thank God, I have no wiMh to live. 'I ask for no prayers for restoration to health. I have - never valued life'very much, and now less than ever. Dear Father Tom, it would be a great pleasurefor me to see you again before I die. We have fought many a battle together, at your imminent peril ; and I never found in you less than the courage of a hero, perfect unselfishnesiyzeal untiring, and a devotion to the cause of God and the poor which it will be difficult to surpass. Now, when per haps I am presently to stand face to face with my Crea tor and Redeemer, I esteem it an honour to have fought so often by your side ; and though I do not regret for a . moment that my exertions have tended to shorten my life, I do most bitterly regret that your nobleness and. heroism have brought on you so sad a persecution. How ever, my Father Tom, let me say to you, and to our friends of your diocese, not to be downcact or disheart ened. As sure as God is in heaven your cause is the cause of truth and honour ; and when your last lour comes, you will all feel what consolation it gives a man never to have flinched in the worst of times—as I may say of you—or given way iu the public service to selfish and personal considerations. " My dear Father Tom, I would give a little w orld to press your hand once more, and to receive your bles sing. Make my kindest adieus to all onr friends, parti cularly to Father Keefe, your good brother, the archdea con, Faultier Ayiward, our friends in Tipperary, and my most worthy and venerated friend, the Archdeacon of Rath k eale. " ' Your busiziesß, as far as it depends on my state. meats, is not yet quite complete. lam sorry for it, but I have done my Lest; and I have left such instructions as I hope will turn to the Lest account what I have been able to do. It I die you will hear through one of my friends how the matter sta►.ds ; At present I can add no more than that I am, my dear Father Tom, most affee• tionately yours, "F. LUCAS.'"
