He say the complainant and his friend sitting in the - parlour drinking brandy and water, they were quite drunk, and called for the liquor, five glasses at a time. He denied the charge, and to show that he was innocent one of the prosecutor's friends actually _.anted him to let him go, 83 he could not substantiate the charge; the policeman heard that. Coombs, 94 L, said he heard a man wish the pro secutor to let him go, as he had lost nothing, and it would be a great trouble for him to attend at the police court; the parts never said he was innocent. Mr. SEC/ER said it was a case he should certainly send to the sessions, but as other evidence was neces. sary he should remand him for a week.

The Committee object to the Accountant placing 390,0001., the cost of renewing seventy-seven miles of permanent way, to revenue ac count, on the plea that the Engineer states " that the old rails were used to a great ext en t i n ma ki ng s idi ngs and minor branch lines. ' This explanation is highly indefinite and unsatisfactory, as the actual length laid down with the old rails might have been given, and the information afforded, if any, of the old sleepers, which I perceive eost 54 ,0001., or 7041. per mile, were made use of. From the Engineer's silence on the latter point, I infer the contrary, particularly after ob serving them scattered up and down the Birmingham and Bristol line during the last three years, in a half decayed state, It also appears from the Secretary's letter to the Committee that until the junction is completely formed between the Midland and the Leicester and Burton-on-Trent Branch, the latter, though opened throughout for passengers and goods on the Ist of last March, is not to be treated as productive, and consequently that the interest on the cost (4.58,0001.) is to be paid out of capital, although the revenue from Innis gone to swell the traffic returns for the last six months. This is not the way to inspire the Shareholders or the public with confi dence, and therefore I trust, even if the Directors are willing, that the Shareholders will not permit the liabilities of the Company to be So improperly burthened. _London, August 22, 1849.

Oft wilt thou go to that famed Mart, With Moses' name in front, Ere thy fair form, in any part, Grows lustreless or blunt.

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, er, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of ferfelture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipnlated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a small saving CAR secure through this Society. I. BENEFITS 11.

HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the Premiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured. or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As sqrance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to E cot iv iti o nu ß e L a p P p oli o cz w at l E a r bon a t re on g e ;a h n al ted f t . h w e h us e u re a b l y sa t c h ri assure for the first fiv e y ears a t li tt l e more than half the usual rate,fi s c e e c . urity an l d Y th llO d L is e of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNERSHIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. Ns Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of the assured life.

The barony and estate of Islay, comprising the island of Islay and small adjacent islands is in the same latitude as Edinburgh and Glasgow, and is one of the richest and most productive properties in the west of Scotland. It contains about 140,000 acres, of which 34,000 are arable, the rest being luxuriant pasture. The present rental of this magnificent property amounts at present to 20,0001.; but a Government grant of 30,0001. is now being ex pended in drainage anl improvements. The rents are periodically and legitimately increased as the leases fall in, and it is evident that such a properly must, under improved agriculture, afford a much larger return. The purchase, it is expected, will be effected for about 500,0001., and it is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose, and contingent expenses, of 600,0001., in 12,000 501. shares, each shareholder to nominate a life, and the whole body of nominees to be insured out of the rental, so as to secure the repayment of his subscription to every shareholder whose nominee lapses. The remainder of the accumulated rental is to be divided every ten years amongst the surviving shareholders, the last survivor to inherit the estate. On the basis of 12,000 policies, in respect of the 12,000 nominees, it is further• contemplated to ingraft the general business of a life assurance company, so as to secare an annual dividend of profits. Thus it will be seen that every person taking a share in the Ton tine, will, under any circumstances, receive back the amount of his investment out of the assurance fund, and will also, by way •f in terest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profits of the general life assurance department (and the basis and guarantee indicated cannot fail to make this branch most extensive and lucra tive) ; he will, moreover, participate, every ten years his nominee survives, in the accumulated and constantly improving rental ; aid, in the event of his nominee being the last survivor, will become the absolute owner, in fee simple, of the entire estate. It Is also to be observed that, as the nominees diminish in number, the marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en hanced. The principles of the proposed Tontine have been maturely con sidered by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq., the eminent actuary of the Me dical and Invalid Assurance Company, and recelv‘d his entire ap probation. The estete is to be vested in three trustees, resident in Scotland.

LONGEVITY OF SOLDIERS.—IrreSpeCtiVe Of the casualties of war and climate, soldiers appear to be rather a long-lived class, as there are no less than 500 claimants for medals for the battle of Maids, fought in 1806, APPREHENSION OF MARIA MANNING. The capture of Maria Manning (alias Rue), the female charged with having being concerned in this horrible crime, has been effected. Thanks to the energy and activity of our detective police force in the first instance, and secondly, the great invention of the age—the electric telegraph—the woman was arrested yesterday in the city of Edinburgh, with a large amount of property belonging to the deceased, Patrick O'Connor, in her possession. The circumstances under which the arrest took place may be thus briefly related :—Among the offi cers employed to trace the suspected murderers was Sergeant Shaw, of the detective force. From in quiries made in the neighbourhood of Manning's residence, this officer ascertained beyond a doubt that Maria Manning left Minver-place on the after noon of Monday, the lath instant, in a cab, taking with her three or four large boxes. To find out the driver of this vehicle was the next difficulty, and all the officer's efforts to accomplish this failed until Monday evening, when, in consequence of infor mation he obtained, Shaw sought out and disco• vered a man named Kirk, driver of the Hackney ca b, No. 1,186. Thi s m an , on being questioned, admitted that he had been called from the stand in Joiner street, Southwark, to take up a fare in the neigh bourhood of New Weston-street. He was unable to describe the exact spot, nor could be state any parti culars as to his fare, except that it was a female of very respectable exterior. On being taken to Min ver-place by the officer, Kirk at once recognised the house No. 3, as the place where he took up his fare, and he then detailed with great minuteness the route she was driven by himself. He said that when she left Minver-place she had with her three large boxes and a carpet bag:, She first directed him to drive to the London-bridge station of the South-Eastern Railway, but, just as he was turning into the road leading from the Borough to the terminus, she pulled the check-string and bade him draw up his cab at the door of Mr. Ash, stationer and printer, of No. 5, Wel lington-street, Borough. Having done so, the woman alighted and went into the shop, where, it has been ascertained, she puachased half a dozen plain white cards. A pen and ink having been handed to her at her request, she wrote directions on four of the cards. Upon one she wrote as follows :—" Mrs. Smith, passenger to Paris. To be left till called for." Upon another. " Mrs. Smith, passenger, to be left till called for ;" and upon the two other cards it is believed that only the words, " Mrs. Smith, passenger," were written. Having paid Mr. Ash for the cards, the woman re-entered the cab and desired Kirk to drive her to the South- Eastern station. Arrived here, she desired him to call a porter belonging to the railway, and upon one presenting himself, she requested him to obtain some tacks in order to fasten the direction cards upon her boxes. The porter presently did so, and on his return she alighted from the cab, and pointing out the two largest boxes desired the man to append the two directions first quoted, namely, " Mrs. Smith, pas senger to Paris, to be left till call for ;" and " Mrs. Smith, passenger, to be left till called for." This was done as directed, and the two boxes, by the woman's desire, were conveyed into the luggage-office, with directions that they were to be taken care of until called for. The woman then re-entered the cab, and was driven by Kirk to the London and North- Western Railway station, where she alighted about a quarter to six o'clock. Kirk saw her luggage, con sisting of one box and a carpet-bag, taken into the station, and having been paid his fare drove away, and saw no more of the woman. These circumstances having been communicated to Mr. Haynes, the superintendent of the detective police, that officer at an early hour yesterday morn ing proceeded to the terminus of the South-Eastern Railway, where he fortunately found the boxes exactly as described, no inquiry having been made for them since they were deposited on Monday week. The suspicions previously entertained by Mr. Haynes now ripened into certainties, and he at once sought an interview with G. S. Herbert, the secretary to the company, to whom he explained the whole matter, and expressed the necessity of examining the con tents of the boxes. Mr. Herbert conferred with two or three of the directors, who happened to be at the station, and the Commissioners of Police having backed Mr. Haynes's application by a request from themselves to the same effect, the boxes were con veyed into the secretary's office, and there forced open. The first glance at each disclosed a quan tity of female wearing apparel, which upon exami nation, proved to be marked with the name of Maria Effie, the maiden name of Mrs. Manning. A further examination discovered a quantity of ar ticles belonging to the deceased Patrick O'Connor, and several letters writen by him to the supposed murderess. Mr. Haynes now immediately proceeded to the London and North-Western station, with the view of tracing Maria Manning. His inquiries here were fortunately most successful—in brief, we may state, that he ascertained a female passenger, whose luggage was marked with the name of Smith, had left the Euston station on the morning of Tuesday, the 14th instant, by the 6.15 A.M. train, having booked her place through to Edinburgh. There could be no longer any doubt as to the direction the suspected party had taken, and Mr. Haynes, at ten minutes to one o'clock, telegraphed through to Edinburgh direct, addressing the superintendent of the city police, and informing him of the circumstances above detailed, with a full description of the suspected party. Mr. Haynes had scarcely arrived at Scotland-yard, on his return, when a messenger from the telegraph office reached there, bearing intelligence that Maria Manning had been arrested upon the information for warded by Mr. Haynes, by Mr. Moxey, the chief officer of the Edinburgh constabulary. The activity displayed by this officer may be judged of from the fact that scarcely an hour elapsed between the message having been sent, and the reply communicating the gratifying in telligence of the woman's arrest. At a later hour last evening another telegraphic message was received from Edinburgh, communicating the result of a search made of the prisoner's person and luggage, from which it appears that the following property was found upon her :—Seventy-three sovereigns, one 501. note, and six 101. notes, five of these latter bearing the numbers advertised yesterday as having been paid to Manning en Saturday, the 11th instant, on the presentation of one of the deceased's cheques. In addition to this money, there was also found in the woman's possession all the missing scrip of the Sambre and Meuse, and Boulogne and Amiens Rail ways, known to have been in the possession of the deceased, and some articles of wearing apparel belonging to him. In obedience to instruc tions sent down by telegraph, Mr. Moxey has left Edinburgh in company with his prisoner, and may be expected to arrive in town this morning. The accused will, upon her arrival, be placed in custody at the Gardner's-lane Police-sta tion, and brought up to the chief police-office for examination probably tomorrow morning. The boxes belonging to her have been brought from the South-Eastern Railway station to Scotland-yard, where their contents underwent a second examination last night. A great deal of excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood of Scotland-yard last evening, in consequence of a report that the accused had arrived in London, and a crowd of persons surrounded the station up to a late hour. Manning is still at large, and we fear we must add that no clue to his retreat has been discovered. There can be no doubt, however, that he has very little money in his possession ; and this circumstance, it is hoped, will have the effect of destroying all chance of his escape. telebgarcakphic an immediate LATEST PARTICULARS. message :—" Is Manning HALF-PAST ELEVEN P .M.— The police have just received anning t i h n e following custody—send an swer." It is inferred from this that the Edinburgh police have some clue to a person answering his description. (BY" ELECTRIC TELEGRA PH ,) EDINBURGH, T U ESDAT.—A person, who there is every, reason to believe is one of the parties concerned in the atrocious murder at Bermondsey, was appre hended in Edinburgh, on Tuesday, by M r .

On Mond a y even i ng M r. communication tele graph from Inspector liaynes, Strand, L on d on , an d in the course of his inquiries conse quen t th ereon h e got such information as induced him to call, along with a criminal officer, at a respect a bl e l o d g i ng- h ouse in Addington-place, Edinburgh, on Tuesday fore noon. Upon inquiry there for Mrs. Smith, the name which it was understood Mrs. Man n i ng h a d assumed, he was shown into a room, in which he found a well dressed woman reading a newspaper of the 20th inst., which gives an account of the murder and a descrip tion of the parties supposed to h ave comm i tte d i t. From the appearance of this person, Mr. Moxey at once concluded that lie. had found the party of whom he was in search—the . supp ose d mur d eress, Mary de Reux, or Manning. After some conversa tion, Mr. Moxey charged her as being the person of that name accused of the murder of Patrick O'Connor. This she denied; but Mr. Moxey having taken pos session of and searched her luggage, had his previ ous belief of her identity fully conf irme d b y fi nd i ng amongst her wearing apparel the whole of the scrip described in the advertisement regarding the murder.

Counsel,Apltil lasta a parish meeting was called of th e rate - payers of Burnley, for the purpose of electing the churchwardens and sidesmen for the parish. In the parish is a chapel of ease, at Habergham Eaves, and a difference had for some time existed between the Rev. Mr. Master and his parishioners as to the appoint ment of a churchwarden for Habergham Eaves, and on its being proposed to elect a churchwarden, a reso lution was moved by the plaintiff to the effect that the meeting should be adjourned to that day twelve months. This resolution the Rev. Mr. Master, who was in the chair, refused to put to the meeting, • : and disturbance ensued, a person named Emmott being proposed to the chair. This disturbance was put an end to by Mr. Mastercommencing Divine service, and the meeting adjourned to the churchyard. An ac count of these proceedings was published in the Blackburn Standard, which was copied by the Man chester Courier, and commented on by the editor, and it was of these comments that the plaintiff complained as libellous, and calculated to injure his character. The article complained of was as follows : " DISGRACEFUL PROCEEDINGS IN BURNLET CHURCH. " We have elsewhere copied from the Blackburn Standard a report of certain proceedings at the annual vestry held in Burnley Church on Easter Tuesday. For a detail of the circumstances that gave rise to the dis graceful scene we must refer our readers to the report itself, which bears internal evidence of having been drawn up carefully and accurately. The chief actor ap pears to have been a Mr. George Stansfield, a barrister, formerly connected with the northern circuit, and now a magistrate of the county, carrying on the business of a banker. A short extract from the report will show that the conduct of this Mr. Stansfield rivals in virulence the conduct of the most unscrupulous of Mr. Bright's fol lowers in the parish of Rochdale. A series of illegal propositions are made to the meeting by Mr. Stansfield, to which the Rev. R. M. Master, the excellent incum bent of Burnley, with manifest propriety, refuses to listen." The report then goes on to say : "On this Mr. Stansfield again proposed an amend ment, to the effect that as Mr. Master had not acted with impartiality in refusing to put the amendment to the meeting, he do now vacate the chair, and that a per son of the name of Emmett, a dissenter, do take it. Not withstanding Mr. Master declared immediately he should do no such thing as leave the chair, Mr. Stansfield put his amendment to the meeting, without giving any one time to make any remark, calling for a show of hands on his behalf, but never asking whether any one was opposed to it. This movement was received with acclamation by the Chartists, who immediately called upon Emmett to take Mr. Master's place (the steps around the font), se conding their words by acts illustrative of their political creed, forcing Emmett, nothing loth, up towards Mr. Master, and threatening to lay violent hands on the latter gentleman to dispossess him of his place, by such cries as Pull him down!" Throttle him!' Seize him by the legs!' &c. Mr. Master's friends immediately rushed to his support, and drove back his assailants. In the melee great uproar was made and several blows were struck. This continued for some time, during which the chairman sent for the police, and at the solicitation of his friends called for a show of hands on behalf of Messrs. W. and J. Smith. There being no abjection made, he declared them duly elected, and then dissolved the meeting. " During the greater part, if not the whole, of this riot, Mr. Stansfield stood by and never attempted either by word or deed to check it. He denounced the dissolution of the meeting as illegal, asserting that Mr. Master had lost his authority over it ; and when charged with advising the rioters not to leave the church, did not deny it, though it was then Stansfield time r for the thecommeninti m a t ed cementMr.of Maste r D thativie n he service. ap p r Mr. ovedof the police being sent for, but when they came he pre vented them from acting according to Mr. Master's wish in clearing the church. On this Mr. Master intimated that he should immediately commence Divine service, and that he should hold any one guilty of disturbance in the church amenable to the law. On his entering the reading desk Mr. Stansfield deliberated a few moments, and then walked quietly off, followed by the rioters. " Mr. Stansfield's position as a magistrate and a banker would bespeak his respectability. As for his degree of barrister-at-law, we suspect it was always honorary,' in every sense of the word, and that, although he was a member of this circuit, he was a' silent' member, being one of the ' briefless' fraternity. If our memory do not fail us, he is the person who, a few years ago, at Lancas ter, broke faith with Mr. Baron Alderson, and drew down the just rebuke of that high-minded and most able judge, by failing to bring into court a certain document which he had promised his Lordship to go for, and send ing instead a stupid note to the judge, full of ignorance, presumption, and disrespect. The circumstance must be well known to the bar of this circuit." The libel proceeded : " What are we to think of a well-dressed demagogue, professing to be a Churchman, who could not only coun tenance but counsel the brutality which was exhibited towards the Rev. Gentleman, who, we have good reason to know, conducted himself with remarkable temper and forbearance in the discharge of duties which the law compels him to perform, and who is esteemed by all classes, but the bad, in the neighbourhood in which his lot is cast." He did not complain of being termed a " briefless barrister"—that was no imputation upon any man ; but he did complain of being accused of having, as a magistrate and banker, broken his proinise to Mr. Baron Alderson, and, instead of sending to his Lord ship a document which he had promised to send, of having written to him " a stupid note, full of ignor ance, presumption, and disrespect." The facts of that imputation were these :—Two men were indicted at the Lancaster spring assizes for 1847 for having conspired to cheat the Yorkshire Insurance Com pany, by sending in a larger claim for compen sation for loss at a fire than they were entitled to. This policy had been deposited with Mr. Stansfield, as a banker, as a security. To prove the charge of conspiracy it was necessary to produce the policy of insurance. Mr. Stansfield was not subpoenaed to produce it, but some one said that he had it ; upon which Mr. Baron Alderson asked t w ra h t e e r , e s b h ox e him to be examined; and he then said that he i w n a t s h . e a H s s e i z w e a c s o u t r h t e , n asoitdtinbgis or dereditotrhdeshmipagis had the document in his possession, but he had been requested by the prisoner's attorney not to produce it, and not having received any subpoena he had not brought it ; but the policy was in Lancaster. Mr. Baron Alderson said to Mr. Stansfield in an angry manner, "Do you come here, sir, to defeat the ends of justice ?" Mr. Stansfield said, " Certainly not." Mr. Baron Alderson then said, "Then go and fetch it, sir." Mr. Stansfield then left the court under the impulse of the moment, but not being bound to pro duce the document, and irritated by Mr. Baron Alderson's manner and observations, he addressed to his Lordship the following note, which was the " stupid note—full of ignorance, presumption, and disrespect"—alluded to _ _ " Lancaster, Feb. 21, 1848. " My Lord,—Your Lordship is pleased to impute to me in open court a desire to defeat the ends of criminal justice, and to threaten me. I came, my Lord, to Lan caster without subpoena from anybody, as, I believe, to promote the ends of justice, not to defeat them; and it will not affect me one shilling whether the jury give a verdict in favour of one side or the other, neither directly or indirectly. I shall not submit, my Lord, to such treatment, or to your further imputations. I, therefore, beg leave to decline further attendance at the assizes. " I am, my Lord, your obedient servant, " GEORGE STANSFIELD. " The Hon. Mr. Baron Alderson," That note, the Learned Counsel for the plaintiff said, was a very proper note, and such a one as he would have himself written under the same circumstances. Mr. Baron Alderson had no right whatever to order him to produce the policy. If the policy were re quired there was a proper legal course to take, by serving Mr. Stansfield with a subpoena duces tecum to insure its production. On the publication of the libel complained of, Mr. Stansfield's attorney wrote to Mr. Sowler, requesting to know who the writer was. In answer to that Mr. Sowler offered to give equal publicity to Mr. Stansfield's account of the transac tion. This answer not being satisfactory, the present action was brought. On the part of the defendant, on cross-examinatio n of the witnesses called to prove the disturbance at the parish meeting and what took place in court at Lancaster, it appeared that several of the per sons p res ent at the parish meeting were Charti6ts, sad the His LORDSHIP having summed up, The jury retired, and after a short absence, found a verdict for the defendant. The case was not concluded until six o'clock, having occupied the whole day. CROWN COURT.—( Before Mr. Justice PATTESON) William Jabez Davies was indicted for having feloniously concealed and embezzled a part of his estate with intent to defraud his creditors and In violation of the bankrupt laws. Mr. Mond and Mr. Pollock conducted the prose cution; the prisoner was defended by Mr. fobbett. It appeared that the prisoner was formerly a plumber and glazier at Manchester and had peti titioned th e C our t o f B an k ruptcy in Manchester, and had been adjudged a bankrupt. He had afterwards concealed and embezzled some of his goods. The the prisone r had passed his exam i na ti on , nor t h at h e had ever been examined before the commissioner. For those omissions the Learned Counsel for the defence demurred to the indictments, relying on the case of " Rex s'. Walters," as, until the bankrupt had been examined before the Commissioner, and had had the opportunity of discovering his property, he could not be indicted for fraudulently concealing it. The Learned Counsel for the prosecution contended that the section of the statute sth and 6th Victoria, creating the offence, did not require that the bankrupt should have been examined, and that the offence was complete without it. the Crown on the demurrer. jud g ment upp or ted this for construction i H is iA °it o D su r ;h i e n s g ta i v t i u n t g e , and udg ngeanyte s The prisoner was then called on to plead over to the felony, and pleaded Guilty. Sentence was deferred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. William Isaac Fitch, a traveller in the service of Messrs. Morgan, Martyre, and Co., w h o l esa l e sta tioners, was plac e d at the bar charged before Sir Peter Laurie with embezzling various sums of money to the amount of 9 00/. and upwards. Mr. France, of Goaliman-street, solicitor, attended to prosecute, and stated that h. only intended to ad duce such evidence against the prisoner as would justify the Alderman in gra n ti ng a reman d. Th ey had fottod out defalcations to the amount of 2001, and there was little doubt that if time were given others to a still greater extent would be found. It would seem that the prisoner's practice was, that, having kept some moneys back, when he got other sums of money, he then paid up the old amounts. Mr. Frederick George, of the firm of Morgan, Martyre, and Co., No. 2, Farringd o n- s tr ee t, sa id th e prisoner has been eight years in the firm as a town traveller. It was his duty, as well as that of others, to enter daily into the cash-book all sums of money they received. Sir PETER LAURIE—Then no running account was allowed. For in all cases of embezzlement the pri soners attempt to make that their defence. Mr. George said such was not the case. They were bound to enter the amounts received in the cash-book every day. On Saturday last, in conse quence of a letter written to a Mr. Trimming, re specting his account, and requesting payment, as the arrears had been going on longer than usual, that gentleman called, and produced the receipts which he held in his hand. The first invoice for goods was dated Oct. 13, 1848, and ended Dec. 12, 1848. On the 17th of February, 1849, there is a receipt in the prisoner's handwriting for 201., signed W. Fitch. On the same paper, dated the sth of March, there is another receipt of "By cash 11/. 12s. 61, discount 165.; for Morgan, Martyre, and Co.; signed W. Fitch." The next invoice began Dec. the 26th, and ended 27th of February, 1849, and amounted, for goods delivered, to 301. 33. Upon that invoice there was a receipt also, in the following terms :—" By cash, for Morgan, Martyre, and Co., 301. 3s. W. Fitch." Sir P. LAURIE—Did he pay the money on those days? Mr. George—He did; but what he paid was to settle other quarters' accounts that ought to have been paid. Mr. France said, that if the case was adjourned there would be plenty of cases against the prisoner, for the firm had ascertained that morning that he had received no less a sum than 104/. on the 4th of Au gust, which he had not accounted for. He therefore hoped the Alderman would grant a remand. Sir P. LAURIE said the embezzlements appeared to be so extensive, that he should remand the prisoner for a week ; in the meantime perhaps the prosecutors I might make more important discoveries. The prisoner, who wept much while at the bar, declined saying anything, and was conveyed to the Compter. CLERKENWELL. John Davies, a ruffianly looking fellow, dressed as a navigator, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Combe, charged by Mary Stevens, a married woman, residing at No. 1, Dorset-street, Balls-pond, Islington, with having commited a brutal assault upon her. The prosecutrix, who was supported into court, in consequence of the injuries she received, exhibited a most frightful countenance, having her eyes dreadfully swollen and blackened, and her nose broken. With difficulty she stated that yesterday morning the pri soner met her, and challenged her with having robbed him on the previous night. She denied the charge, when he swore that she was the same person, and threatened that he would have her life, on which he struck her several violent blows on the head and face, and kicked her on the bead, legs, and body, until she was left for dead, and she knew no more of what hap penedttil she was attended by a surgeon at h er own residence. Mr. COMBE inquired whether she knew anything of the prisoner ?—Witness replied in the negative, with the exception that he lived in the same neigh bourhood as herself. Prisoner (sullenly)—l met her last night, and she robbed me of 7s. 6d. I work hard for my money. The prosecutrix positively denied this, and pro duced several witnesses to prove that she was at home with her family all the night before. Sergeant Judd, 44 N, said that he was bringing some prisoners to this court from the station-house at s l o s n li e n r g b to e n at y in e g st a e n rd d a fic m k o i zing her bead and dashed it against a wall. She fell ber% wen a h fter w be hie s h aw h e the s e p i z r e i d . senseless on the ground, and had it not been for the assistance of himself and other officers he felt satisfied that the woman would have been murdered. On being taken into custody he made a most desperate resistance, and it required six policemen to take him to the station-house. Mr. COMBE asked him how he got his living. Prisoner (gruffly)—l work on the railway. Mr. COMBE—You are a perfect brute. You had no right to ill-treat the poor woman in the way you have done, even if she did rob you, which is plainly disproved. I shall fine you 31., and in default of payment six weeks' imprisonment in the House of Correction. He could not pay the fine, and was conveyed to prison. SOUTHWARK. Lipman Levi was brought before Mr. Seeker, charged with attempting to steal a gold watch and chain from Mr. Cotton, a brassfounder in Union street, Borough-road, while in the Coal Hole public house, next the Surrey Theatre. The prosecutor, who had a massive gold chain round his neck, stated that about two o'clock on the previous morning he went into the Coal Hole to have a parting glass with a friend, they proceededtoa room at the back of th e h ouse , and partook of several glasses of brandy and water. While sitt i i n n to g t t h h e e r r e o , o th m e I and forced their company upon prisoner and two of his companions came The prisoner in c fr o ie n n v d er o sa f t w io i n t , ne a s n e d s m wba f su ro t m a taking it, at th e attempted l4'eht hehi h t stea l his wh watch,ii interfered and preventedebhei Witness then went to another part of the room an d same time telling him to mind what be was about. sat on the tabl e, when the p risoner again followed hi m and made a snatch at the chain ; but finding that he could not get it, he with his companions, suddenly left the room. Witness called the landlord and in formed him of what had occurred, when he found the house cleared and that the prisoner had gone. He then went outside and told the police, and a few minutes afterwards he caught the prisoner in the street nearly opposite the theatre, when he gave him into custody. A tradesman, residing in the same neighbourhood, said he was with the complainant, and saw the pri soner put his hands round his friend's waist and attempt to rob him of his watch. He warned him off, but twice afterwards he put his hand in Mr. Cot ton's pocket. He told the prisoner and his compa nions that if they robbed his friend he Should stick to them, In pursuance of a requisition dated the 16th inst. signed by Mr. Leslie, the lion. Frederick Byng, a n d', Mr. Bidwell, a special meeting of the Commissioners of Metropolitan Sewers was appointed to be helclyes terday, at ten o'clock in the forenoon. The objects 1 of the meeting were thus stated in the requisition : "For the purposes of ascertaining, from documentary and other evidence, whether there be any truth in the statements made by Mr. Chadwick, at the Public Court of Sewers, on the 2d instant, against the undersigned commissioners for obstructing and misrepresenting the very large economy' resulting from the present system of contract' for removing by flushing of the soil from the sewers at a cost of 6d. per cubic yard;' for removal of soil under the old Westminster Commission, the cost was is. per cubic yard; and the undersigned were approving members of such expenditure in that commis sion, thus exhibiting an alleged large economy ' in favour of the present system of 6s. 6d. per cubic yard, be ing a difference of 1,300 per cent. 4' To ascertain the exact amount in thousands of pounds of the money of the ratepayers already expended in the flushing department, entirely omitted by Mr. Chadwick in his statement of ' the very large economy' of the pre sent system of flushing the sewers by ' contract,' and to ascertain what in reality such ' contract' is. "To ascertain from the account book of Assistant- Surveyor Lovick (to whom, on the recommendation of The Committe e of Works,' the flushing department has been for many months exclusively entrusted) whether, during the 31 weeks of the present year to the 31st July, the yards lineal' of sewers flushed out in the Surrey and Kent districts do not make a total of 2141 miles, at a cost to the rate-payers of 101. 6s. 4d. per mile, independently of the district portions of the very large omissions of expenditure by Mr. Chadwick in his statements on the 2d inst. " To ascertain if, beyond these omissions by Mr. Chadwick, and beyond the 101. 6s. 4d. per mile shown in the account book of assistant-surveyor Lorick, the rate payers of the Surrey and Kent districts have not been charged in the account of the contractor with the court for those districts, Mr. Dethick, other large items of expense connected with flushing, among which are 2,400 loads of soil carted away, at 2s. 6d. per load for cartage only. " To ascertain the number of times the same length of sewer has been flushed out in the 31 weeks, each time of such flushing costing the rate-payers on the general average at the rate of 101. 6s. 4d. per mile. " To ascertain if any of the sewers in any district are flushed out three times a week. "To investigate the special contracts' at per yard lineal' entered into by Assistant-Surveyor Lovick and the labourers, and to ascertain if any of the sewers under such arrangements have had the soil washed into the adjoining sewers at an expense to the rate payers equal to 3s. per cubic yard. "And to take such immediate steps as the result of the evidence to be submitted at such special court may render necessary for the honour, character, and useful ness of the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers, and the best interests of the Metropolitan rate-payers, confided to the guardianship of the commission." At the time appointed, two of the requisitionists, Mr. Leslie and Mr. Bidwell, with Mr. Hume, M.P., and Sir John Burgoyne, assembled in the cour t- room . Mr. Byng, it was s t a t e d, was absent from town. In an adjoining room there was Mr. Chadwick, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Banfield, Dr. Southwood Smith, Mr Hawes, Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Bain, and Sir Henry de la Beebe, none of whom appeared disposed to enter the court-room, until a quorum, which is six, had been formed. The Severs Act of last session says that if a quorum be not formed at the expiration of one hour frotn the appointed time of meeting the court shall be adjourned. Accordingly, at eleven o'clock, Mr. Woolryche, the secretary, appeared at the door, and, after stating the names of the gentle uten who had attended in their places, announced that in consequence of there not being a quorum, the pro ceedings stood adjourned to Wednesday next. PASSENGER TRAFFIC WITH IRELAND. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAT.—A document has been issued by the Lords of the Privy Council, enforcing a new code of regulations in relation to the carriage of pas sengers between Ireland and the British shores. The communication is dated from the Council Chamber, Whitehall, August 7, and contains the following clauses : " 1. The number of deck passengers to be carried by a paddle steamer, having no cargo on deck, shall be one passenger to every ton of the builder's tonnage„ " 27 The number to be carried by a paddle steamer, having cargo on deck, but none of it stowed abaft the paddle-shaft, shall be one passenger to every regis tered ton. "3. The number to be carried when cargo (not live animals or poultry) is stowed abaft the paddle shaft, :_ball be three passengers to every two square yards of clear space abaft the paddle-shaft. " 4. The number to be carried when live animals or poultry are stowed abaft the paddle-shaft shall be fixed with reference to the arrangement of the vessel and cargo, so as to provide, as nearly as possible, two square yards for every three passengers, in a part of the vessel separate from the cattle and live stock. " 5. Screw steamers, in which the deck passengers are allowed to go below, and are accommodated with space on the lower deck for one-half their numbers, or on that on which the bulwarks are raised, and a spar deck constructed so as to afford protection to the passengers on deck, shall be licensed to carry the same number of passengers in each case as paddle steamers. " 6. Screw steamers in which these provisions are not made shall be licensed to carry only one passenger to every four tons of the registered tonnage. "7. The proportion of passengers to be carried in the months of November, December, January, Feb ruary, and March shall be two-thirds the number al lowed in the othQr months." Captain Denhatu has also addressed a memorandum to the owners of steamers employed in the convey ance of passengers, recommending additional regula tions, as follows : "Custom-house, Liverpool, Aug. 10. "I am commanded by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade to strongly impress upon the owners of steam-vessels employed in the convey ance of passengers the propriety of making some provision for the health and cleanliness of those on board, by furnishing them with a sufficient supply of tarpaulings to protect them from the weather, and from the washing of the sea, and also by providing water-closets for their use. "Although my Lords have not thought it neces sary to make these provisions compulsory, as they might do, by refusing certificates till they should be complied with, they nevertheless attach great im portance to them, and will bear the subject in mind with a view to future legislation, should they find, by experience, that a necessity exists for more stringent provisions to compel the adoption of these reasonable measures. " H. M. DENHAM, Captain R.N., " Steam Navigation Inspector." TUE PIRATES OF BORNEO AND SIR JAMES BROOKE.—Advices from Labuan to the 22d June are of the most gloomy nature, owing to the prevalence of fever, which was general. In the list of persons attacked and still suffering when the Nemesis quitted the island, were the officials, excepting the Lieutenant-Governor, the European non-official residents, and the natives em ployed in Government works or on the coal seam. Her Majesty's ship Royalist, acting as gnardship, had suf fered severely; the commander and three o fficers, and twenty of the crew were on the fever list, and one of the crew had died of the Labuan fever. The Governor, Sir James Brooke, had r eturned from his visit to th e island of Zulu, where h a had succeeded in m aking a treaty of amity and co mmerce with the Sult an.
