FRANCE. It is stated that General Lamoriciere is on his road from St. Petersburgh to Paris. The Synod of the Catholic Church held its last I sitting on Friday. The ceremony commenced with the usual religious rites. The stalls of the chapel were occupie by ten bishops in full costume. Amongst them were the Apostolic Nuncio and Mon signor Nakar, Archbishop of Naby and Kerintime (ktount Lebanon), and Father Regis, Superior of the Trappists of Staonelli, was also present. After chanting the Veni Creator, the decrees were pro mulgated in the following order :-1, the diocesan synods; 2, the errors which attack the groundwork of religion. The errors condemned are :—On the nature of God ; on supernatural order ; on the holy book ; on the Holy Trinity ; 3, on the new sect called the Euvre de la Misericorde ; on the non-re cognized miracles and prochecies ; 5, on holy images, on the respect due to them, and on the errors to be avoided with regard to them ; 6, on the errors, which destroy the foundation of justice and of charity ; 7, on the ecclesiastical tribunals ; 8, on the residence ; 9, on the sanctification of Sundays and fete days ; 10, on the preaching of the Word of God, and on the baptism of children ; 11, on observing dignity in religious ceremonies ; l2, on the visit and care of the sick ; 13, on the duties of the clergy , during times of epidemy; 14, on the exe cution of pious foundations; 15, on charitable offerings ; 16, on the conduct of the clergy in political affairs ; 17, on the intervention of the press in religious questions ; 18, on the relations of Cathcns with those of other creeds ; 19, on eccle siastical studies, on theological grades, and the examination of young priests ; 20, on the execution of decrees. The reading of the above decrees occu pied nearly two hours, after which all the bishops present affixed their signatures to them. The Arch bishop of Paris then addressed the Synod in a very impressive speech, and concluded by requesting the Apostolic N uncio to present to the Sovereign Pontiff the homage and wishes of the Synod. The ceremony concluded with chanting the Te Deum. . . . General Melchior Pacheco y Obes, Minister Pleni pot?ntiary of the Republic of Uruguay, charged with a special mission to the French Government, has had an audience of the President of the Republic, whom he addressed as follows : " Monsieur lo President,—The Government of the Republic of Uruguay has done me the honour to accre dit me to the Government of France, over which you so worthily preside, in order to claim that justice which the convention recently entered into with its enemies re fuses to my country. My country, as well as its Go vernment, have not for a moment doubted the obtaining of that justice, b= cause they know that France is a great a stion, and that a name appears at the heal of its Government which is incompatible with anything which would not be for the grandeur, the justice, and the honour of France." The President of the Republic received the new Envoy of Monte Video with the greatest courtesy arid kindness, and terminated the interview by saying— " I have no ether interest than that of the French in whatever part of the world they may be, and I will do everything that dependi on me to maintain the honour ar.d dignity of France." SWITZERLAND. A letter from Geneva states that a duel has taken place near Lausanne, between Sergeant Boichot, the Socialist representative for Paris, and a Spanish officer of the Regiment of Isabella Segunda. It ap pears, that whilst on board a steamboat between Nyon and Lausanne, Sergeant Boichot spoke in dis respectful terms of the young Queen of Spain and Donna Maria of Portugal. Count Moreno, of the above•mentioael regiment, contradicted in strong terms what was stated by Boichot. The latter repeated what he had said, and added, " I hope that the Spaniards will some day prostrate them selves before Lola Montes and choose her for Queen." The Count instantly demanded satis faction for this language. A meeting was arranged for the same evening in the wood of Greni, on the 1 brink of the lake. Tha Count was attended by an i ollict-r of Dragoons, and a colonel in the service of I the King of Wurtemberg. Sergeant Boichot had as seconds N. Felix Pyat and Dr. Perrin, of Mont toui. They fought with pistols at a distance of twenty pacts. No injury was done at the first shots. On tlle second fire the Count was severely wounded in the shoulder and neck, and at the same moment Sergeant Boichot received a ball between the ribs of the left side. He was so severely wounded that it became necessary to carry hiaa from the ground on a mattress. NAPLES AND SICILY. The following notes hare passed between Mr. T(niple, the British Minister at Naples, and M. For tunate, the _Neapolitan Minister for Foreign Affairs : ' TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE CHEVALIER YoRTIINA.TO. Naples, Sept 16. " The undersigned, her Britannic Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, has the honour to inform his Excellency the Chevalier Fortu nato, linist r, Secretary of State, President of the ch irgA with the Portfolio of Foreign Affsirs, that he has been iostructed by his Government to state to his Excellency, that the part which the British Go vernmeot has, by various circumstances, and by the repeated invitation of the Neapolitan Crown, and in more recent times, taken in the affairs of Sicily, and the sincere interest which her Majesty's Government feels in the iveVare and prosperity of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, induce her Majesty's Government to address the Government of Naples on the present occasion, in the full c )ofidence that his Sicilian Majesty and his Govern ment will do justice to the friendly feelings by which this communication is dictated. " The diplomatic agents of the British Crown were urgently invited last vear by his Sicilian Majesty to employ their good offices, as reprensentatives of the British Government, for the purpose of endeavouring to bring about an amicable adjustment of the differences which unhappily prevailed between his Majesty's Go vernment and his Sicilian subjcts, and the British agents were authorised by her Majesty's Government to comply with his Sicilian Majesty's request. But the British agents and her Majesty's Government well knew that the discontent among the Sicilians, which had given rho to the disturbances which had then broken out in Sicily, was deeply rooted, general, and of long standing, and that it had been occasioned by the prevalence for a long course of years of many practical abuses, which owed their existence, and their continuance, to the sus pension of the ancient Constitution of Sicily us it had been modified and revised in 1812, under the auspices of the British Government, and with the Royal sanction and VC.' ptanc?; and, therefore, the British diplomatic agents d, c!ined to employ their good offices as requested by his Sicilian Majesty, unless they were empowered to assure the Sicilians that the Constitution of Sicily, as revised in 1312, with certain prescribed modifications, s'riould be put again into action, because they well knew that unless this was done, the well-founded discontent which had occasioned the disturbances could never be expected to cease. " A variety of circumstances, well known to the Neapolitan Government, rendered useless the efforts by which at diff,rent periods, in 1848 and 1849, the British Government sought to effect, upon the bases above men tioned, a reconciliation between his Sicilian Majesty and his Sicilian subjects. &Ace it to say, that upon the last occasion, in March last, her Majesty's Government, in conjunction ivith the Government of France, recom mended the Sicilians to agree to the conditions offered to them by the King in his proclamation at Gaeta of the 28:h of February last, although her Majesty's Go vernment could not but acknowledge that the arrange ments described in that proclamation fell short of the provisions contained in the Constitution of 1812, to which the sanction and assent of the Crown of Naples had lesson solemnly given. Unfortunately at that mo ment the exasperation produced by the events which had taken place at Messina in the preceding September still prevailed in the minds of those who had the conduct of affairs at Palermo, the arrangements proposed by the proclamation of Gaeta were refused, and preparations were made fur &fending Palermo to the last extremity. It is a great satisfaction to her Majesty's Government to know that the effusion of blood and loss of life which the attack and defence of Palermo would have occasioned, both to the King's troops and 'the people of Palermo, and the grievous calamities which such a conflict would most probably have brought down upon all the inhabitants of the city, were averted by the friendly interposition of a British subject, and of her Majesty's civil and naval officers, and that by their means the authority of the King was re established at Palermo peaceably and without the shedding of a single drop of blood. But the people of Palermo submitted thus peaceably to the authority of the King beca use th e y wer e assured that the King would faithfully observe the promise which on his Royal word he bad made, that a general amnesty should be granted to Ms Sicilian subjects ; and, considering the share which British officers had in bringing about this peaceful arrangement, her Majesty's Government thinks itself entitled to express its confident hope that the Royal pro mise will not be broken, and that the amnesty on the faith of which the Palernaitana submitted will be ob served by the Government of his Sicilian Majesty . "Her Her Majesty's Govern ment, moreov er , to tae . . remembering the part which Great Britain was called remodelling of the Sicilian Co ns ti tut i on of 1812, c an not the o refrain from submitting to the consideration' hist Sicilian Majesty, and of his Government, that th e Sicilian people cannot be justly deemed to have forfeited their ancient and acknowledged right to that Constitu tion by reason of the efforts which they have made to recover'the practical enjoyment of it; and her Majesty's Goverrinleat would further beg to represent that a continued suspension of those ancient and indisputable rights of the Sicilian people would necessarily perpe tuate and arravate that evident discontent which has of late made'Sieily the theatre of such calamitous con flicts, and that thus the connexion between Sicily and Naples would be liable to be severed bj , contingencies, either domestic or foreign, the possibility of which the sagacity of the Neapolitan Government must render I it eenecessary for her Majesty's Government to point out. The undersigned avails himself of this opportunity to rc-new to his Ext.:4?Honey the assurance of his most distirgaiihecl consideration. WILLIAM TEMPLE." received the note has dune me the the performince " Naples, Sept. 20. of the 16th inst. which honour to address to Of my duty, submitted it to the consideration of my august Sovereign. His ► Majesty has charged me to recut to the memory of your Excellency, in a brief resume, the circumstances which have produced the actual state of things. " So far as regards the good offices of the Engli,h diplomacy, employed for the purpose of terminating the rebellion in Sicily, as well as for procuring changes in the Government founded on the Constitution of 1812, I have the honour to state to your Excellency, that this subject, and everything connected with it, have been already discussed at great length, fully argued, and finally recognised to have no weight or value ; and at the same time, I must be permitted to remind you, that the generous concessions made by his Majesty in his sovereign act dated at Gaeta, the 28th of February, were wound up by the following conditions:— " ' All such concessions must be considered as not promised, nor made, in case Sicily does not imme diately submit to the authority of its legitimate Sove reign; and that in case the royal army shall be com pelled to act in a military manner for the purpose of re occupying that part of the royal dominions, the island shall suffer all the consequences of war, and forfeit the advantages offered to it iu the present act of concession.' " Your Excellency cannot be ignorant of the unpro ductive steps taken by the two Admirals—Parker and Baudin—in Sicily, nor leave out of consideration the exertions, which immediately followed, of your Excel lency and of the • Count de Rayneval, when you both went to Palermo for the purpose of persuading the in surgents to accept the benevolent concessions and gene rous pardon of their Sovereign. " Neither can your Excellency cease to remember the insolent ensile rs, and the cries of war with which you and those distinguished persons were persecuted, raised ' by a few hundred men, paid for that purpose by those who had so long disturbed the peace of unfortunate Si cily; and you cannot attach any value to those expres sions, save as the best evidence that can now be offered of an erroneous impression which produced so many illegal and ill-advised proceedings. Indeed, your Excellency and the Count de Rayneval, full of sorrow at the non- success of your joint efforts to bring about the pacifica tion of Sicily, did, the one on the 28th, and the other on the 30th of March last, convey in writing to the Go vernment of his Majesty, your heartfelt regrets that your exertions had proved fruitless and of no avail. " Finally, your Excellency, so wise and enlightened, cannot doubt that, according to the principles established by all Governments of the world, the Government of his Majesty, an independent Sovereign, has the right to regulate the internal administration of its own country according to the inspiration of itsjustice, without creating any prejudice to other nations. " In fine, after having had the honour to establish the principles which regulate the condition of all nations, and shown that the efforts of the Sicilian insurgents yielded before the victorious arms of my august Sovereign, and the loyalty of the majority of the population, I have the satisfaction to add that his Majesty is still well disposed of his own free will to establish su•h forms of administration as are suitable to that part of the kingdom, and are desired by the inhabitants themselves. Alt the measures taken by the wisdom of Prince Satriano since the submission of Palermo have had always in view the spirit of humanity and a complete oblivion of the past. No idea of vengeance has occupied the mind of the Go vernment of his Majesty in the island, and your Excel lency must be informed that up to this hour no execu tion has taken place for political offences, and that the severity of the law has been used alone against assassins and disturbers of public order. " Although his Majesty insists fully on the principle that no foreign Government has a right to interfere in the internal administration of other countries, I cannot deprive myself of the pleasure of explaining to the Govern ment of an allied and friendly power that Sicily at this moment enjoys perfect tranquillity, that the inhabitants are happy in being restored to the protection of their legitimate Sovereign, and if no foreign agent attempts to disturb the peace now actually prevailing in the island, his Majesty is certain that all his subjects will be united in an indissoluble bond of love and loyalty to their legitimate Sovereign.—l have the honour, &c., " FORTUNATO." From private information with which we have been favoured, we learn that the arrangements for raising the gigantic Britannia Tube are now again complete. The large new hydraulic press is ready; and on Saturday it was tested with the required pressure preparatory to being employed in the great work which it will be re quired to perform.—Liverpool Albion. ALLEGED MURDE R.—PRESTON, SAT URDA r.—Yes terday, Henry Glover, son of a respectable farmer, of Lea House, Lea, near Leagate Railway Station, was charged before the Mayor and several other Magis:ratrs sitting in the Council Chamber of the Town Hall, with the wilful murder of Edward La tham, a gardener, employed by Mrs. Podder, at Ashton Lodge, in this parish. The deceased was found on Monday last, by the police-constable Hindle, lying under one of the arches of the Wyre Railway. Life was extinct, but the body was quite warm, blood was flowing from his nose and ears. The body was forth with removed to the Rawstone Arms public-house. Mr. R. Palmer, the district coroner, having been apprised of he finding of the body, held an inquest on the same, when it appeared that the prisoner and the deceased left the Water Trough public house on the previous Sunday night in company with other men; the latter left them, and shortly after a person named Charles Billington saw the prisoner standing up and the deceased on the ground, when the former said " Rest thou had enough?" Wit ness went towards the one on the ground, when the first one run away a few paces, but returned directly, and seeing wi , ness, he said, " Holloa, Chat ley, is that thou?" Ha proceeded along the road in company of the pri soner, when the prisoner said " Shall I turn back and finish him?" Witness replied " No." He afterwards said it was a bad job, and witness must not mention what he had done. The case assuming such a serious complexion against the prisoner, he declined say ing anything in his defence, and he was remanded. NOVEL MODE OF CHEATING THE RAILWAY.— A few days ago a woman got into a second-class rail way carriage attached to a down train for Nottingham. In her arms she carriedaponderous-looking babe, dressed in long clothes, and with its head entirely concealed be neath her shawl. Several times during her journey the half-smothered child made a noise very much like the barking of a dog. The repetition of these unnatural soundiarousedthe sympathy of an old lady travelling in the same carriage, who remarked, " What a dreadful cold that child's got, to be sure." The distressed baby's nurse replied that the poor thing had got a severe attack of the influenza, and she was afraid it would turn to the hooping cough. When they arrived at Nottingham, the active ticket collector opened the door of the carriage, and exclaimed rather abruptly, "Tickets, please." This awakened the slumbering object in the woman's arms, and an angry, but this time unmistakeable bark burst forth, to the astonishment of the official, who, however, lifted up the woman's shawl, and exposed the head of one of the canine species, ludicrously wrapped in an infant's long dress. Extra fare was immediately de manded, which the woman reluctantly paid, amidst the jeers and laughter of the passengers.—Nottingham Guardian. SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF BODIES SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN MURDERED. —Throughout Friday and Saturday great sensation prevailed in the vicinity of high-street, Borough, in consequence of the following discovery. Sara,) children who were playing in the lofts of the Old White ILrt Inu (celebrated by Dickens in the " Pickwick Papers," but which is now chidly let out in lodgings), threw down into the yard what proved to be a human skull. This led to inquiry, and by the aid of the police and Mr. Thwaits, churchwarden of St. Saviour's, search was made, when various bones, form ing three perfect skeletons were found, one that of a young female, and evidently deposited there very re cently. In the same portion of the loft was discovered a heap of arsenic, which had fallen from a rotten paper bag. In an upper loft, ccmmunicating with the former . . . 1 by a hole in the ceiling, were found Three stockings, a female's cap, and part of a chemise, a portion of a man's shirt, a leather glove, and a cotton cravat, apparently saturated with blood. The White Hart Inn is situated not more than a quarter of a mile from Minver-place, the scene of the recent Bermondsey murder, which cir cumstance has not a little tended to increase the excite. ment. By the direction of Mr. Thwaits, the beadle of St. Saviour's has taken charge of the premises and con tents, and a communication has been forwarded to Mr. Payne, the City coroner, who has appointed Monday for holding the inquest thereon.—Sunday Paper. OPENING OF THE RAILWAY FROM CILLI TO LAI BAOH.—A letter from Laibach, of the 17th instant, announces the opening of the line of railway from Cilli to Laibach with great ceremony.

(Before Mr. Commissioner HARRIS.) IN RE JAMES GREEN PEACOCK. This insolvent, who had figured some years in the same character, and had likewise been a bankrupt, was opposed by Mr. Caarten, for a creditor named Everett. Mr. Cooke supported. The point was a vexatious defence on a bill of exchange for 1001. The costs were 491., and would have been under 121. bad there been no plea. The Learned Judge who tried the cause certified for speedy execution. The insolvent bad paid 101. Mr. Commissioner HARMS held that the certificate for speedy execution showed the character of the defence, and adjudged the insolvent to three months' imprisonment from the vesting order for a vexatious defence. Tile reply : "Sir,—l have your Exedleuey ine, and have, in THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2 1849 twice before that, when the female prisoner M'Donald came and took him away from her. On Monday he received a letter telling him to go to the French Ambassador's, and about six or seven in the evening she inquired how he got on, when he replied he had good news to communicate ; he had got his money and signed the books for some trunks belonging to him, which he had not yet brought away, but which he was going for on the following day. She next saw him at about seven on the following morning, running with a girl in search of Mrs. M'Donald.: He complained of her having robbed him, and the girl wss with him in order to find her. After that he came home and laid down for a short time, and at about two on that afternoon left the house hastily, and she had not seen him since. Catherine Conway, a very decent-looking woman, living in William street, Chelsea, said she met Mr. M‘Guire about eight last Monday evening, near Bolton's-gardens, when he invited her to take some refreshment, and she accompanied him to the Royal Hospital, and subsequently to the Snow Shoes, public-houses in Royal Hospital row. He showed her while at the Hospital his purse full of gold, told her of his good fortune, and said he was going the next day for his boxes. After this, while at the Snow Shoes, the male prisoner, M'Donald, came in, when M'Guire observed that he was a bad man because he was jeslous. The two female prisoners and another man and woman were also present, when some trifling words occurring, M•Guire said he would make them comfortable and would pay for anything they liked to drink. When they left the public house, Mrs. M'Donald took M'Guire home with her ; she was so fond of him that she would not let him go from her. After providing themselves with some rum and beer, the witness, Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgerald, Mr. M'Guire, and the three prisoners, went to M'Donald's house, where, after remaining a short time, the male prisoner turned witness and the Fitzgeralds out, M'Guire remaining in their room, but witness re turned in a few minutes afterwards, in order to take M'Guire home. He was then sick, and was about to quit the house, when she inquired why he was going away from her, adding that he should not leave her, and that if he went to the devil she would follow him. bl‘Guire, however, started from the house, accom• panied by the female, M'Donald, and near the Col lege-walk she clung round him, and swore she would not part with him. Witness was leaving them, when M'Guire called out to her to take him away from Mrs. M'Donald ; but, as the police came up at that moment, and as she (witness) supposed they would safely see him home, - she did not turn back, but left them. The prisoner Fox struck witness while she was in the scuffle at M'Donald's, trying to get M'Guire away. She in the course of the evening told Mrs. M'Donald, that from her knowledge of her, she believed she wanted to rob the man (M'Guire). Elizabeth Berry, of 20, Queen-street West, Chel sea, keeper of a chandler shop, proved that on Monday night, the female prisoner, M'Donald, came into her shop and said how unfortunate it was that M`Guire had left her house, as he had now got his money, and as she had supported him for a great length of time ; adding at the same time that she was going in search of him, as she heard he was at the Royal Hospital public-house. In the night she was awoke by a noise in the street, and saw the prisoner M'Donald with her arms round Mr. M'Guire 's neck, and heard him ask to be taken away from her. The police loosed her arms from his person, and he went across the road, but shortly afterwards stumbled, when she again went up, caught hold of him, and wished him to come home with her. Al'Guire, Mrs. M'Donald, and Fox then returned down the court to the pri soner M.Donald's, and shortly afterwards she heard a desperate quarrel and fight. About eight o'clock that morning Mrs. M'Donald came to her shop and left six sovereigns for her to take care of, and to take a score she owed of Bs. 90. out of it. She also threw about thirty sovereigns, all new, upon the counter. She said M'Guire had given her the money to pay her way, but told her (witness) not to talk about, or tell him or any one about it. She had a good many sovereigns in a purse besides the others witness had spoken of. Charles Chinn, 255 A, after stating that he had made some inquiries by direction of the superintend ent, stated that on apprehending the prisoner Millonald on Saturday night, and telling them it was for stealing a quantity of gold and two watches from Mr. M'Guire, the female replied she knew nothing about it, and declared that she had no money at all. The male prisoner made the same reply as his wife, and the latter, upon being requested to produce the money she had, turned out 1 Is.; she was subse- quently thoroughly searched at the station. Mark Loom, sergeant 11 B, produced a quantity of new male clothing, including a waistcoat found upon M'Donald, which had been recently purchased, and which he found in the possession of the M'Donalds. The female M'Donald told him at the station that M.‘Guire—hiui &mem her sixteen sovereigns on Tues day, and that she had swallo-TroA three of the ball sovereigns cn Friday. She subsequently altered her story, and declared he gave her fifty-five sovereigns. She informed him that she was to have met him on Monday (yesterday) at the Foreign office, and that she was to have gone off with him to France. Evidence was given to show that the female M'Donald had undergone a proper search at the station when first taken there, by a female searcher; but there still being reason to believe from some thing that money would be found, the females who were locked up with her in the cell were all directed to be searched yesterday, when a girl named Tapson, detained upon another charge, produced a purse, con taining thirty-four sovereigns, which the prisoner M'Donald had given her, to pass money unobserved, if possible, to her husband. Catherine Conway was recalled, and said the purse resembled the one she had seen in the missing man's possession. The whole of the prisoners said they were inno cent, Mrs. M'Donald stating that M'Guire, who never liked to see her husband in the place, but was very partial to her, had given her from fifty to sixty sovereigns as a recompense for having kept him a great length of time. Mr. B2ODERIP said he should remand the prisoners upon this very serious charge for a week, by which time he hoped something might occur to throw a light upon this most mysterious affair. The missing gentleman, whose name is Thomas M'Gauran, or MiGorham, although he appears to have been known by that of M'Guire, at Chelsea, is fifty-five years of age, about five feet four high, grey hair, round full face, fair complexion, dressed in a brown overcoat with pockets at the side, black cloth trowsers, blue or black waistcoat, black hat, and cloth boots. He was so much endeared to many poor per sons at Chelsea, by his extreme kindness of disposi tion, that he had acquired for himself in the hour of his adversity the general appellation of " Father." So UTHWARK. Yesterday James Perkins, an athletic young man, was charged with a daring highway robbery, attended with violence. Mr. Robert Barnett stated that he was a brass finisher, carrying on business at No. 184, Union street, Southwark ; that between one and two o'clock that morning, he arrived at his house in a cab, with his wife and two children. On alighting from the vehicle he knocked at his door, and white standing there he took out his purse in order to pay the cab man his fare. He, however, had scarcely time to draw out the money when he received a violent blow on the side of the head from an unseen hand, which knocked him down, but he quickly recovered himselt and sprang upon his feet, when he observed the pri soner at a short distance running in the direction of High-street. He immediately pursued his assailant, and having seized him by the collar, a violent struggle ensued, during which they both fell down, and in the prisoner's efforts to escape he struck him right and left on the ground, but he held him firmly until a policeman came up, and on missing his purse, which contained some silver, he gave him into custody. Policeman Gordon, 87 M, stated that at the hour mentioned he was passing Union-street, and saw the complainant and his children alight from the cab and knock at the door of the house. He (policeman) walked on, but had not proceeded further than about 200 yards when he heard the cries of the children, which induced him to return to see what was the matter. When he got back to the spot he saw the complainant and the prisoner struggling together on the ground, the latter making the most vigorous efforts to escape, while the former called out that he had been robbed and assaulted. He (policeman) se cured the prisoner, who denied the charge, and as serted that he had been struck and knocked down in the first instance, and when they arrived at the station-house, be (the policeman) saw the sergeant on duty take a purse from the prisoner, who affected to be quite astonished at .the circumstance, at the same time saying that it mus t h ave b een de signedly placed where it was found, in order to get him into trouble. Sergeant Baker, 18 A, stated that when the par ties arrived at the station-house, and while he was engaged in making an entry of the charge, he ob served something projecting out from the breast of the prisoner's coat, which wus buttoned up in front to the top. lie (the sergeant) immediately rose from his seat, and, seizing it, found it to be a purse with money in it, which was claimed and identified by the prosecutor as the one which had been forcibly taken from him by the prisoner. The purse and its contents was produced before the magistrate, who, having warned the prisoner in the usual way, asked him if he wished to say anything in answer to :the charge. The prisoner, however, said that at preSent he should decline making any defence, but that on a future occasion, if it was deemed necessary to send the case before a jury, he should be enabled to establish his innocence of having intentionally robbed the com— plainant. . • Mr. A. BECKET said that the prisoner should hare the opportunity-if 'wives a condition •to do so, and committed him for trial to the Central Criminal Court. A GROSS FRAUD. A young man, named John Cowderoy, who had been a grocer and tea-dealer, in Grafton street, Soho, was opposed by Mr. Sargood, for Mr. Godwin, auc tioneer, and by Mr. Caarten, for Mr. Smith, a tea desler. lie defended himself. From Mr. Godwin the insolvent obtained 291, and three subsequent sums of small amount, by employ ing him to sell his freehold houses, and as usual obtained the advances, giving him a letter on his solicitor to hold the title deeds as security. An ap pointment was made at an attorney's office, the sale having been effected by private contract, when Mr. Godwin expected to receive the money, as also the charges, making 1081. The property was sold for upwards of 500/. The insolvent's attorney deducted 1201. as his charges; Mr. Godwin asked for his money, and whilst he was looking on the floor for half a sovereign which the insolvent said he had dropped, the latter gathered up the cash from the table and refused payment, saying, on being asked for the money, that he " meant to call his creditors toge ther." He soon afterwards went out of the room to speak to his father, who attended to be paid, and made away with the money in his pocket. His account for the money was that he had paid his cousin what he owed him, and his father 1691. Altogether he had paid his cousin 3751. He owed Mr. Smith 501. for goods, and that creditor had not sued him, because he promised to pay him out of the proceeds of the sale of the freehold property. He had attended at the attorney's to be paid, but an excuse was made by the insolvent. Mr. CAARTEN urged that there had been a frau dulent forbearance of the debt. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS :considered that the section referred to was a very difficult one. It bad not been enforced for twenty-four years. The insolvent's own account of himself was that he had expended 1601. in travelling expenses for his health. He admitted that he had been to races in his travels, and by batting had lost 1001. He paid his relations because it was money borrowed. His HoNouß told the insolvent, who had conducted himself with great levity during the examination, taking notes, and assuming an air of importance, that one would imagine by his demeanour that hewas the in jured party, and not the two creditors who had opposed. It was a gross case of fraud—gross as to the manner in which Mr. Godwin had been defrauded, and also in the preference given to his relations. For the making away of property he would be remanded for eighteen months, and for the fraud on Mr. Godwin for a like period of eighteen months. The judgments are concurrent from the vesting order made a month hack. IN RE CHARLOTTE KOPSCIL In this case Mr. Duncan opposed, and Mr. Cooke supported. The question was, what was the insolvent's real name. Iler maiden name was Mundell. She married a Captain Shaw, and was divorced. She had an annuity of 2001. from the Duke of Brunswick when she married. She bad married a Mr. Gray, but he left the country the day after, and in 1847 she married a person named Kopsch, now in Whitecross-street Prison, where she was confined. She had become liable for his debts after the marriage. There had been some proceedings in Chancery between herself and the Duke of Brunswick about the annuity. Mr. Commissioner ITARais dismissed the schedule, and advised the insolvent to apply in her right name, setting forth the particulars about the annuity in question. The case was adjourned sine die. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Joseph Dowell was brought before Alderman Car den, charged with having robbed his employers, Messrs. Elliott, of Goldsmith street, Cheapside, of a cash-box containing 431. 103. It was the duty of the prisoner to clean out the warehouse every morning, in conjunction with another porter, and the key of the warehouse, to which was attached another key s was left for him every roornl.ls. On Friday morning the prisoner arrived at the ware house at an earlier hour than usual, and disappeared soon afterwards, and one of the clerks discovered that the lock of the drawer of the iron safe in which the cash-box was generally kept had been picked, and the cash-box containing the money stolen. The firm, however, very soon afterwards received the cash-box from a relative of the prisoner, who had decamped with the property, and had no doubt been conscience struck at the iniquity as soon as it was perpetrated. If there had occurred any deficiency in the contents it could not have extended beyond a few shillings. The relations of the prisoner hoped that as the pro perty had been restored to the owner the prosecutor would be merciful. Alderman CARDEN said a vigilant examination of the particulars of such a case must take place for the sake of the public, for the charge was one of a most serious nature. The prisoner was remanded for further examination , WESTMINSTER. EXTRAORDINARY AND MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.— Yesterday, Thomas APDonald, a tall, powerful Irish labourer, out of employment, the keeper of a low lodging-house in Bolton's-gardens, Chelsea, Mary, his wife, and Mary Fox, two women who hawk lace and lucifers about the streets, were charged on suspicion of stealing seventy sovereigns and two watches. Mr. Russell, the superintendent of the B conducted the prosecution, and, upon the accused being placed in the felon's dock, addressing the Magistrate, observed that the case was one of a very extraordinary description, in which the police had deemed it their duty to apprehend the prisoners upon suspicion of robbing a person who had suddenly dis appeared, and of whom, notwithstanding the most diligent search and inquiry, no trace could be disco • vered. There were also some peculiarities in the matter which he would explain. It appeared that an Irish gentleman, named M'Gowran, or M‘Guire, had resided many years at Lyons, and received an income exceeding 1601. per annum, as a schoolmaster and teacher of languages there, but upon the disturbances breaking out there a short time ago, he was accused by some person before the Commissary of Police of having taken part in them, had his effects seized, was arrested, and placed in confinement. He subse• qaently made his way to this country, and arrived in the neighbourhood of Chelsea in a penniless and wretched condition, where he gained a miserable subsistence by vending, as he (the superintendent) had learned, Weiler matches and other such articles. A short time since he memorialised Viscount Pal merston, who immediately interceded with the French authorities for the restoration of his property, and on Monday last the memorialist received the following communication : "Foreign•office, Sept. 23. " Sir,—With reference to my letter of the 17th, respecting the detention of your money and effects by the police at Lyons, I am directed by Viscount Palmerston to state that her Majesty's Ambassador at Paris has received a letter from the French Mi nister for Foreign Affairs, informing me that y our money and effects were forwarded on the 18th of August, free of all charges, to the address of the French Embassy in London. " I am, Sir, your very obedient humble servant, " H. U. ADDINGTON. " Mr. M‘Gowran: Mr. Russell observed that it was evident that on the receipt of this letter the gentleman to whom it was addressed lost no time in . presenting himself for his property, as on the back of the letter now in charge of the Embassy was the following memorandum : "I have received from the French Embassy tho par cels, containing seventy sover e i gns an d two watches. "Sept.ept. 24. "JOHN MiGowas.x. Mr. Russell observed that the result of the most diligent inquiries had placed him in a condition to show that Mr. M'Gowran, or M'Guire, by which latter same he appeared to be known in London, was seen in possession of the money at Chelsea on the evening of the day that he received it ; that he was heard to complain, after having been last seen, under circumstances of a peculiar nature, in company with the prisoners, that he had been robbed, and was then in quest of the female M'Donald, whom he accused, and that from an hour of that time, when he was seen in the street, wringing his hands, and bewailing his loss, he had suddenly and most mysteriously dis appeared.ciwrca u s a fi t r e s d t co mmunat T e d h e t fact h o e f p h o i ce s b , ein a g n and mis si n g was of dil igent inquiry, i t when, from the result by routes at the various police police stations ; but was ascertained that be had been robbed, increased exertions were made, with a view of alth duigscire hospitals, and every likely place had been inquired although the ita ls unfortunate gentleman; an d , I at, up to that moment not the slightest information had been received respecting him. He (vr . Russell) was in a position to lay before the magistrate such evidence as, in his opinion, would justify a remand of the prisoners. Mary Hogan, a respectable•looking, hard-working woman, living at 5, White Lion•street, Chelsea, stated that Mr. M‘Guire had lodged in her house a fortnight previous to his sudden disappearance, and WORSHIP-STREET. THE PALACE COURT AND LOIN SOCIETITS.—A very decent-looking young man, named William Jones, a gun-maker by trade, appeared before Mr. Arnold, the magistrate, a few days since, in a very dejected condition, having been sud(renly reduced to a state of comparative destitution under circumstances which he related to the following effect :—A friend of his had obtained from a loan society in the neigh bourhood of Arbour-square a loan to the nominal amount of 62, the cash actually advanced, however, being little more than two-thirds of that sum, and the applicant was induced to become joint surety for its repayment, he being then very respectably situated with a houseful of good furniture, in Hawkin's-street, Rile end. Part of the loan, however, being unpaid, an action was commenced in the Palace Court on the part of the society, and a copy of a writ was served upon the applicant, who, in a state of dismay, waited upon the secretary of the loan society, and the latter, as he stated, promised that upon payment of costs, which were already in curred to the amount of 305., a stop should be put to the proceedings at law. lie was unable at that time to pay more than one pound, which he handed over to the secretary, but some time elapsed before he paid the remainder, but he did then pay 13s. to the secre tary, 10s. as the remainder of the expenses, and 33. in part payment of the original loan and actual debt for which the action had been commenced, and having done so he of course thought himself safe from the threatened action. Only a day or two after the pay ment of that money, however, an officer of the Palace Court came with demand for the immediate pay ment of debt and costs, to the amount of 91. ls. ld , and left a broker's man in possession. The man remained there four days, for which a subsequent charge was made of 3s. 6d. a day, and the required amount being then unpaid, they cleared his house of 501., worth of furniture, which was carried off to the premises of a Mr. Knowles, a broker and auctioneer, to be there sold by auction. The applicant himself attended the sale when it took place, and obtained a printed catalogue of the effects, which he produced, but from this some of the ar ticles actually seized had been omitted; for in stance a good carpet, which, upon his making the fact known, was afterwards restored to him ; and he alleged that, instead of his own feather bed, worth eight or ten guineas, a very inferior article, not belonging to him, was put up, and sold for 1/.163. He said he pointed out the difference at the time, and received a promise that his bed should be found and the matter made all right, but was afterwards put off and told that the party who had it could not be traced. With all these drawbacks and substitutions, however, the proceeds of the sale amounted to 141. 155., and the seizure having been made for 91. odd, he expected of course that the difference was to be paid over to him ; but, upon inquiry, he said he was told that there was nothing to be returned, the expenses having so accu mulated as to absorb the whole. In the course of these transactions he had been to the secretary of the loan society, to whom he pail the 1/. 135., in expec tation of thereby putting an end to the Palace Court proceedings, but that person, he said, would have nothing to say to him, and told him that he might "take the law," if he liked. The affair had altogether been quite ruinous to him, for he had not only lost a houseful of good furniture, but had lost so much time, and been so distracted in mind, as to be unable to attend properly to his work, and had, in consequence, lost his employment, and had for several weeks been without the means of properly supporting his wife and children. His chief anxiety now, how ever, was to trace and recover his bed, if possible, for the sake of his wife, who was on the eve of her accoucheenent, and was terribly distressed by the want of it. Mr. A RNOLD directed Holland, a warrant• officer, to render what assistance he could to the applicant, and Mr. Knowles, the auctioneer, being sent for denied all knowledge of any unfair dealing, and said the goods entrusted to him had been regularly catalogued and sold. He promised, however, to assist in tracing if he could the party who had bought the bed. The poor man said he had been to the Palace Court, and was desired to attend there on Saturday last, which he accordingly did, and was told that there ought to be a trifle returnable to him out of the pro ceeds of the sale ; and a promise was given that in quiry should be made ai to the facts he had mentioned, and the result communicated to him a week hence. COURT-MARTIAL IN INDIA. GENERAL ORDERS BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE COM MANDER• IN• CHIEF. Head quarters, Simlah, 14th July, 1849. At the General Court-martial assembled at Luck now, on Wednesday, the 27th day of June, 1849, Ensign William Henry Hankey, of the 38th Regi ment Light Infantry, was arraigned on the following charge, viz.:— Fur highly unbecoming conduct. First—ln having, at Lucknow, on or about the 28th of February, 1849, retained and fraudulently appropriated to his own u'e the sum of 21 rupee:, sent by Captain W. J. B. Knyvett, of the same regi ment, to Lieutenant J. J. Hockley, of the 66th Re giment Native Infantry, with a note addressed to that officer, which money and note had been taken by mistake to him, Ensign Hankey, he being well aware at the time that he had no such money to re ceive from Captain Knyvett; and secondly—in having, a few days subsequently, addressed to Cap tain Knyvett a receipt for the money, which he frau dulently signed " Hockley," without initials, and with some of the letters of the name written over to make it bear some resemblance to his own name, but so as to deceive Captain Knyvett into the belief that the money had duly reached its destination, and with intent so to deceive him. Finding—The Court, upon the evidence before them, are of opinion that the prisoner, Ensign William Henry Hankey, 38th Regiment Light In fantry, is On the first instance of the charge—Guilty. On the second instance of the charge—Guilty. The Court are further of opinion, that the con duct of which they found the prisoner guilty is highly unbecoming, as set forth in the preamble to the charge. Senten — ce—The Court sentences the prisoner, En sign William Henry Hankey, 38th Regiment Light Infantry, to be dismissed the service. Approved and confirmed, (Signed) C. J. NAPIER, General, Commander-in-Chief. Head quarters, 9th July, 1849. RECOMMENDATION. The Court having performed a painful duty in awarding the only sentence in their estimation com mensurate with the offence committed, beg to recom mend the prisoner to the merciful consideration of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, as they think, from his extreme youth and inexperience, he mad► have been unaware of the serious nature of the offence, and in the hope that clemency may have a beneficial effect on his future condUet. REkARKS. On the 21st ultimo, I wrote some remarks on the recommendation to mercy made by a General Court martial which tried Diarem Opediah, a Jemadar in the 21 Grenadiers. To these remarks I now refer the officers who have recommended Ensign Hankey to mercy, a proceeding which does so little credit to the Court, that I cannot believe it to have been unanimously voted. What ! pardon and turn back among the officers of the Indian army, a man con victed of felony ! On what grounds, does the ma jority of this Court cast upon the Commander-in- Chief the pain of refusing pardon ? On the grounds of youth ! Has he not been nearly.a year and a half in the army ? Has he not a commission ? Is he not, by the rules of the service, deemed old enough to sit, and has he not sat, as an officer, in judgment, and as a magistrate, to try and punish others ? Is he not old enough to be entrusted, and has he not been entrusted with the command of men ? With a subaltern's com mand in peace and in war ? and when men's lives and safety depend upon the conduct of a subaltern ? Has not the glorious uniform which he has dis graced by two infamous actions, sufficed, by its re cognised honour, to introduce him into the best society, even into the presence of the Sovereign ? and would the majority of the Court wish me to leave it on the back of such a man as the prisoner? Has he been tempted by misfortune and distress? No ! He avows his wealth, he has had the education of a gentleman ; his conduct seems to be the result of innate moral turpitude ! Had the prisoner been horror-struck at the enormity of his guilt, avowed his crime, and cast himself, repentant and conscience-smitten, upon the mercy of the Court, I could have understood the feelings of those who re commended him to mercy. But such is not the case. On the contrary, while conscious of his guilt, he de liberately adds to his crime, by the effrontery, the sophistry, and the falsehood of his defence ! To pardon such an offender would be an insult to the army, and I will not do it. (Signed) C. J. NAPIER, General, Commander-in-Chief. The name of Ensign W. H. Hankey will cease to be borne on the returns of the 38th Regiment N. L. 1., from the date on which this order may be published at Lucknow, of which a report is to be made to the Adjutant-General of the army, and the Assistant Ad jutant-General of the Presidency. By order of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, PAT. GRANT, Lieutenant-Colonel, Adjutant-General of the Army. PRO , VESSOII WILSON'S ESTATE IN WESTMORELAND. —The Elleray estate, on the banks of Windermere, a beautiful little domain, whose natural charms have been rendered doubly famous by the reputation of its pro prietor. Professor Wilson, was put up to auction on Thursday week, at the Royal lintel, Bowness, by Mr. E. Barton. A sale was declared to be at 8,000/., but as the bidding did not reach this amount no sale was effected,— Car/isle Journal. Er.iri Grey arrived at his residence in Belgravc-square last evening. CRICKET. ST. JAMES'S CRICKET CLUB V. KINGSTON. These clubs played their cong;efing at King ston on Friday, u hich ended in tavour of the James's by nine runs on the first inningP, there not bei , g suffi cient time to play it out. The smallness of the scores are only to be accounted for by the superiority of the bawling and fielding on both sides. On the side of the St. James's the batting of Barr was much admired, ob taining his runs in a style that would hare done credit to a more older practitioner. The bowling of Payne and Bentley was excellent, and the wicket-keeping of Mason beyond all praise, taking three of the finest catches imaginable. The long-stopping of Adams (who was not put on until late in the game), was vary good On the side of the Kingston, Chester, a ho was unfortunate with his hat (being caught by Mason at the wicket by what could scarcely be termed a chance) obtained eight runs in his usual style, and his bowling and fielding elicited the praise and admiration of every one present. Jones also bowled exuedingly well. The following is the score: -- ST. JAMES'S -FIRST INNINGS.

I.—The Firebrand steam frigate was taken out of the basin to day, and will be tried down the river to-morrow, and, in the event of being found in good working order in her engines, will proceed to Sheerness, where she will be stationed as one of the advanced war-steamers. The Archer steam-sloop is ordered to be made ready for another trial down the liver on Wednesday. She will be taken out of the basin to-morrow, and the Terrible and Inftxible taken in. The officers, noncommissioned officers, and men of the Royal Marines belonging to the two latter, paid off list week, have proceeded by railway to join the respec tive divisions of that corps to which they belonged. There were only a few supernumeraries amongst them belonging to the Woolwich divi,ion. The Drea - dnought hospital ship is now nearly ready to be taken out of dock here, and removed to her former station at Greenwich. PLYMOUTH, SECT. 30.—Her Majesty's steam vessel Hecla went this morning from Hamoaze into Barnpool, where her compa.ses will be adjusted. She will be paid wages on Monday, prior to sailing with the mails for Madeira and the coast of Africa.

HOP INTELLIGENCE. MAIDSTONE.--We can only corroborate our last week's report that the hops have everywhere come down short of expectation, although the samples are mostly of very superior quality. We hare only heard of a single exception to this rule, in which the plan ter set his crop at three bags, when everybody else set them at six, to avoid the error of the man who, after killing his pig, remarked to a neighbour, " My pig did not weigh near so much as I expected-1 always thought it wouldn't." HORSMONDEN.—The picking in our parish is, with one or two exceptions, brought to a close. The qua• lity of our hops is very fine, but the quantity is much less than was expected. We believe the average for the parish will be about .5i cwts. to the acre. MEREWORTII, NETTLESTEAD, WATERINGBURY, AND TESTON.—The picking is nearly drawn to a conclusion in these parishes, and the result will show that the crop is far short of what was expected a month since. Most of the growers complain as to the crop they have got, but feel pleased as to the probable prices, as many betters upon the duty do not appear ready to back the duty at 80,0001. ; some speculators say 70,000/. EAST MALLlNG.—Picking is now completed, and most of the hops have passed the excise scale. It is now quite certain that the crop will fall nearly or quite half short of the expectations of the planters before picking. Most of the hops are good in colour and quality. Last year there were put up in this parish about 700 bags, this year 30. YALDING AND HUNTON.—Picking has come to a close, except by one or two growers. Almost every where they come short in quanity. HURSTGREEN.—The hops are nearly all picked, and will produce about one-fourth of last year's growth, or about three cwt. to the acre. They are, however, of excellent quality, and cannot fail to obtain a fair share of attention in the market. ROTHERFIELD (SUSSEX). —Our hopping is brought to a close. We had some gardens that promised well, but came down at least one-third short, and some nearly one half of what they were set at. Bux ted is worse than Rotherfield, and some gardens on Northiam have not had a bin in them. VINE HALE (SussEx).—Tilden Smith Esq.'s Golding hops were sold in the Borough last week, at 101. 103. per cwt. The quality was fully equal to any that hare appeared at market. FARNHAM, ALTON, AND COUNTRY DISTRICTS, OCT. I.—ln handing you our last report for the season, we have only to observe, that picking is , completed, and the quantity falls short of the planters expectations The old duty for the district we ima gine will be about 5,5001. —Maidstone Gazette of this day.

The Rev. D. Wilson, M.A. the vicar, took th e c h a i r at 7 o ' clock. Upon the platform were nearly the whole of the local clergy, churchwar dens, and other parochial officers. The body of the sptelous building was filled to inconvenience with the residents of the parish, and some hundreds of parties were obliged to go away, unable to gain admittance. The meeting was addressed by Mr. Woodworth (a magistrate), the Rev. Dr. Henderson, the Rev. Joseph Wilson (of Clapham), the Rev. Mr. Mckenzie, and the Rev. Mr. Hamilton. Resolutions were passed, express ing the concern of the assemblage at hearing that the Post-office authorities had it in contemplation to open that national establishment on the Lord's-day, and to increase very c.insiderably the Sunday duty, and recom mending that a memorial should be presented to Lord John Russell against the measure. SIR JAMES ALEXANDER'S " L'ACADIE."—A new work has just appeared Irom the pen of Sir James Alex ander, K L.S., on the Staff of the Commander of the Forces in Canada, which will doubtless receive a hearty welcome from his military brethren and the reading public in gen , ral. I:, is entitled " L'Acadic,• or Seven Years' Explorations in British America; with Sketches of its Natural History, Social and Sporting Scenes, &c." The work embraces excursions and adventures of every kind in British America and the United States, from New Brunswick to New York. The writer sees every thing that is to b.:4 seen from the Falls of Niagara to St. John's City. Now he is on a tour, now deer. stalking in the woods, now exploring in the wilderness. He visits Auduban and Mac Nab, chats with Dickens at a Canadian soirée, and shakes hands with Bryant the American poet. Volunteering to survey for a military road through Canada and New Brunswick, he cuts his way with an axe, on foot, through the pathless forests, acquiring a great deal of useful information, which he has imparted in a way likely to render his narrative most valuable for intending emigrants. rADVERTISEMENT.:I—THE EARL OP ALDBOROUGH AND HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—An astounding cure by this miraculous medicine, alter every other means had failed.
