FRANCE La Patrie observes that the intelligence communi cated in the Constitutionnel, of full satisfaction having been given by the Emperor of Morocco on the de mand of the French Consul at Tangiers, was prema ture, though no doubt is entertained that such will be the case. A letter from Toulon announces the sailing of the expediti on t o M orocco from that port on the 11th inst. The fleet consisted of ten ships of the line—the Friedland, Jena, Hercule, and Inflex ible; the frigate Psyche ; the steam-frigates Moga dor, Cacique, Christopher, Colombe, and Descartes ; and the steam-corvettes Tartan and Dauphin, under the command of Admiral Parceval Desehenes, who, it was said, had received orders to act with energy unless the satisfaction requirad was given.

A letter from Turin of the 1I th inst. contradicts a report that the Ministers had resigned in consequence of the vote of the Chamber of Deputies disapproving of the imprisonment of Garibaldi. A letter from Genoa of the 11th inst. states that Garibaldi had been placed on board the frigate Saint Michael, to be conveyed to Nice, his native place. The Nazionale of Florence of the Bth instant, publishes the following letter from Rome "I have politico-theatrical news to give you. The 'singer, Madame Rebussini, had been loudly applauded for some time by the French who crowd the Argentina Theatre. The rondeau of Marino Faliero one evening excited the most enthusiastic applause, in the midst of which a French captain threw a bouquet on the stage .from Lis box. The singer did rot pick it up, but as soon as she had retired behind the scenes she sent a servant to pick it up; she re-appeared afterwards, but without the bouquet. The French officers were offended at this, and resolved upon revenge for the affront. The next evening the theatre was nearly full of French; there were only about 100 Romans in the pit, and very few in the boxes, which had almost all been taken by the French. After the ron deau the bouquet as before fell before the feet of the singer, who made her exit without picking it up. Im mediately the French drew whistles from their pockets, and commenced a most terrific concert, mingled with ,cries of Take the bouquet!' All the Romans who were in the theatre, on the contrary, applauded and cried, Bravo! brave! no! no! Show them our sym p tthy!' At last the Romans, seeing that the French officers persisted, left the theatre; the French desisted, and the act of Coluu,ella began. About 50 Romans then re-entered, when the French recom mrnced their clamours; a Roman then exclaimed, Let all Italians leave the place!' But instructions had been given to the gendarmes who were at the door, and who prevented the Romans from leaving. Meanwhile some 'French officers having taken the stage by assault, forced the singer to appear with the bouquet, the cause of so much tumult. Madame Rebussini appeared pale and dishevelled, with tears in her eyes; she held the bouquet in her left hand. The French then loudly applauded, in the midst of the whistles of the Romans, and of the violent apostrophes they had addressed to the singer, who had been weak enough to give way. This little history, for the present, has had no further conse quences." • BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE AD. VANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY.—After the dispatch of ,nur parcel last evening, the annual dinner of the members of the association took place in the Town hall, Thera were between four and five hundred present. The side and great galleries were filled with ladies. Mr. Simpson presided at the organ, and Mr. Stevens conducted the choir, which throughout : the evening delighted the company with a variety of classical and popular music. At half-past five o'clock Professor Robinson took his place at the head of the cross-table. He was sup ported on his right and left by the Marquis of Northampton ' Lord Lyttelton, Lord Stafford, Vis count Adare, Lord Wrottesley, the Bishop of Wor ' tester, the Bishop of Oxford, the Bishop of Manches . ter, the Dean of Westminster, the Dean of' Ely, the Prince of Canino, M. Drouyn de l'lluys, the French Ambassador ; Chevalier Bunsen, rrussian Ambassa dor; Sir R. Inglis, Sir Charles Lyell, Sir R. Mur chison, C. B. Adderley, Esq., M.P., James hey worth, Esq., M.P., C. N. Newdegate, Esq., M.l'., R. Ste - phenson, Esq., M.P. Professor B. Rogers, Professor Willis, Professor Phillips, Professor Power, General • Pasley, Colonel Sabine, Professor Faraday, &c. SAMUEL THORNTON, Esq., Mayor, officiated as Vice- Chairman. After the cloth had been removed, and the Non Nobis Domini sung— The CHAIRMAN proposed, in an appropriate address, the health of the Queen. He alluded in graceful terms to the late visit of her Majesty to Ireland—a visit which had revived hope, rekindled the elements of prosperity, and had given the hope and promise of returning life to that poor land. He should give, - with all his heart, the toast " The Queen, may God bless and preserve her."—(Cheers.) After the lapse of a short time— The CHAIRMAN gave, " Prince Albert, Albert, Prince of Wales, the Queen Dowager, and all the Royal Family." The toast was received with ap plause, and duly honoured. The CRAIRMAN next proposed " The healths of the French Ambassador, the Prussian Minister, and the other distinguished foreigners who had honoured them with their presence. —(Cheers.) Welcome they had always been, and welcome they always would be but far more welcome were they when, as in this in stance, they brought with them such intellectual power, and such rich stores of valuable information. M. DROUYN DE L'Hurs rose to respond to the toast, and said if gratitude could express itself by proxy, he would entrust to his Hon. Colleague the pleasure and the honour of addressing them. He felt personally obliged to show his hearty gratitude for the high honour which they had conferred upon him. If it had been his fortune as a Frenchman to visit the great town of Birmingham 40 years ago, he would have fout.d it teeming with instruments of warfare, all busily and eagerly employed in preparing the weapons ofdeadly combat against a neighbouring nation. Now,happily, the scene was changed. As a private individual he was conscious of his inability and unworthiness to speak before the illustrious representatives of the different branches of learning in the world ; but in his public character he personified a nation that had always been, and was now, a worshipper of science He was, as it were, th e li v i ng proof of the recognition of France in England —of the g engaged in reattruth that having been long, too lon g , the struggles of battle, they now agreei on the ad vantages of the peaceful intercourse of trade and science. In con clusion he begged leave to propose, "The *promotionof friendly relations between France and En la d."

OF THE SUN. have perused, with no little interest, the several communications made by your correspondents relative to the operations at the Menai Straits. for the purpose of raising the monster tube, and much regret the position of affairs there at the present moment, which, however, I beg to remark, would have as sumed a very different aspect had the eminent engineers employed by Mr. Stephenson to raise these monsters condescended to consult those parties, whose every-day experience in the working of hydraulic presses has taught them the proper use of these ma chines, when required to exert such an enormous force as 2,000 tons. Had they done this, I do not hesitate to say, the difficulties encountered in raising the tubes, both at Conway and the Menai Straits would be trifling as compared with what they have already been, and yet will be ; and, further, that the cost would bear a somewhat similar proportion. The mistake that engineers in general commit in reference to the hydraulic press is this, that they trust too much to theory and calculation, and too little to practical experience —hence the reason of so many breakages and vexatious disappointments in the use of them. It has been found in practice that parti cular attention to the formation and construction of the different parts of the press is not only desirable, but actually necessary, when it is required to exert an excessive power; and I have no hesitation in con demning the presses in use for raising the tubes as being badly contrived, ill proportioned, and egre giously misapplied ; and have little d ou bt, b e f ore t h e four tubes at the Menai reach their permanent resting place, I shall be fully borne out in what I have said. In conclusion, allow me to subscribe myself A PRACTICAL MECHANIC, and One who has worked at a Press exerting a power of 2,000 tons and upwards. Sept. 14, 1849. THE SUN, LONDON, with pleasure the grand idea that men who had de voted their whole lives to science and the acquisition of knowledge, should publish to the world all they knew, to make it richer and better. Germany and France had many advantages in their academies, such es those of Berlin and Munich in particular, and England had come to be proud of its Royal Society in the same way. After a few remarks on the bene fits of associations similar to the one which they were members of, the Hon. Gentleman, in conclusion, said he entirely concurred in what had been said by his Honourable Colleague of France, and he echoed the into ploughshares, that swords would speedily be beaten ploughshares, and universal peace reign over the globe. lie proposed with much pleasure, " The British Association for the Advancement of Science. The toast was drunk with loud and continued cheering ; after which The CHAIRMAN, in a neat speech, responded to the toast. In the course of his observations, after alluding, in complimentary terms, to the two Ambassadors who had honoured them with their company, he said he ventured to prognosticate that that meeting would not be inferior to the last; and already the two first days' proceedings of their sections had proved that he was not wrong-. In each had been obtained results which left the happiest promise of the termination of the meeting. That they should continue to advance, that their alliance should continue to be useful to mankind, he felt well assufed. If they asked what manufactures they had improved, what processes they had invented, he answered, they had done more, they had invented the principle which would give them manufactures and processes enough—they h a d i ncrease d a ll t h e powers which invigorated their intellect and directed their labours. In conclusion, he trusted that the second return of the association to Birmingham would be an epoch in its course—the recurrence of a new style, and as they saw here, since they were last honoured by an invitation to this town, the material development of its intellect, showing that they had kept pace in the principles of improve ment during their absence ; so, when they return, for the third time, they should find that they had made a progress far surpassing what had as yet crowned their efforts. After the lapse of a short time, the President pro posed in a suitable address, " The Universities 'of the Kingdom." The toast was received with applause. The Bishop of OXFORD, in an eloquent speech, re sponded to this toast, after which other toasts were proposed, and duly honoured, and the company sepa rated at an early hour. EXCURSION TO DUDLEY, WARWICK, &c. DUDLEY, SATURDAY NIGHT.—To-day, pursuant to arrangements with the local committee of Bir mingham, extensive preparations were made in t i: town for the reception of the members of the British Association. Lord Ward having grounds nicard consented to throw for the inspection of the members, openhiscavheirsnasgaenldt, a Smith, Esq , had the grounds put in p erfe ct order , the immense caverns were lighted up. Some idea may be formed of the extent of these immense subter raneous caves, from the fact of their requiring several thousand candles to enable the visitors to effect a passage through them. The effect was brilliant in the extreme, and must be inspected to be duly appreciated. At about one o'clock about 500 of the members of the Association arrived here in the Swift Packet Company's boat; and were received by the local committee, who were distinguished by wearing a blue ribbon on the buttonhole, and conducted by them to the Limestone Caverns. Sir Roger Murchison, C. L. Bonaparte, Prince of Canino, the French Ambas sador, and many other distinguished foreigners, were amongst the party, who, with the others, were con ducted to the caverns. Owing to a desire of indulging the curiosity of as many persons as possible, a great number of the inhabitants of the town were admitted, and considerable inconvenience was experienced for some time, owing to the immense pressure of the crowd. After the lapse of a short time, however, perfect order was restored amongst the party, and Sir R. Murchison, availing himself of the aid of a speaking trumpet, de livered a brief but appropriate lecture on the extra ordinary geolo g ical phenomena by which they were surrounded, and in the course of his address took occasion to compliment the foreign ambassadors, and congratulated them upon their visit to the ancient and extraordinary caverns in which they were as sembled. The French Ambassador briefly replied, thanking the worthy Baronet for the compliment which had been paid him, and expressing the great delight which he felt in having had an oppor tunity of witnessing such stupendous works. The party then retired from the caverns, and were con ducted to Messrs. Cress well's open works, in the thick or ten-yard coal, and afterwards to Lord Ward's Clay Croft open works. They then returned to Dudley on the western side of the Wren's Nes hill, where the limestone caverns and workings were inspected. In visiting these places about three miles of ground had to be walked, but, as the walks were highly interesting, they were not omitted by any to whom distance was not a matter of importance. The Geological Society's Museum was next visited, after which the party proceeded to the Russell's Hall iron furnaces, where the progress of smelting was inspected. At a quarter before two precisely the casting from the furnaces commenced, and after wit nessing the process of manufacture, the party repaired to the national school-room, where a cold collation was laid out, and in the evening the company left for Birmingham in the conveyances by which they had arrived. I omitted to mention that while in the cavern Lord Ward's kindness in admitting the com pany was adverted to, and called forth the unbounded applause of the company. EXCURSION TO WARWICK, KENILWORTH, WARWICK, SATURDAY.—This morning, at ten o'clock, about 150 members of the association arrived here per railway, and were conveyed in omnibuses to Warwick Castle and grounds, where, in the absence of the noble owner, they were received by his Lord ship's agent. After inspecting the beautiful grounds, and the truly picturesque scenery west of the splendid mansion, the party were conducted through the Castle. Amongst the various objects of interest within this ancient pile, Ruben's celebrated painting of Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the order of the Jesuits, attracted particular attention : it is universally admitted to be the master-piece of the great artist. The great hall, the armoury, the select picture gallery, the ancient curiosities (including the bedstead of Queen Anne), were all inspected by the company. The extraordinary vase was also an object of curiosity. The party, on leaving the Castle, pro ceeded to Guy's Cliff House, the ancient residence of the Hon. B. Percey. Here they were received most courteously, and, after perambulating the exten sive and elegantly laid out grounds, including the magnificent avenue fronting the building, they were shown through this delightful residence ; after which, the Beauchamp Chapel, Wilcox's works for carved furniture, and Refern's collection of articles of vertu, were inspected. At half-past two o'clock the party proceeded per railway to Kenilworth, for the purpose of visiting the ancient ruins, and having closed the day's enjoyment by a dinner at the King's Arms (Dr. Robinson in the chair), the party returned in the evening, highly delighted with the day's ex cursion. DIARRHEA AND CHOLERA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—.Napoleon chose successful in preference to talented men ; on this principle I venture to make known the result of a mode of treatment which in the years 1832 and 1833 was most successful, and which I have adopted during the last ten days, in more than 300 of th ese cases , f u ll cne -h a lf of which got well within twelve hours, and in no instance did the malady run into the second or collapsed stage, or continue beyond eight-and-forty hours. Ido not lay claim to greater attainments than my professional brethren, but having had nearly 30 years' most active service, and devoted great attention to this destruc tive disease when it first appeared in this country, and during the present year, I trust you will not consider these few lines unworthy a place in your extensively read journal. It will be recollected that in January last 154 chil dren were, at an hour's notice, removed from Drouet's pauper establishment at Tooting to the Royal Free Hospital, the greater number of whom were in a most wretched and diseased state ; they were treated after the plan I now recommend, and I can add that not one case was lost after its adoption. Were it necessary to urge any additional reasons for intruding on your columns, theylwould be found in the very great alarm that pervades the public mind, and in the report of the Board of Health, to the effect that nearly all the fatal cases are neglected ones of Diarrhoea. The remedies are simple and safe, and within the reach of every one; they are as follow :—Calo mel, six grains ; rhubarb, fifteen grains, made with water into a soft bolus, or three pills ; all to be taken on the first evidence of any disorder, of either stomach or bowels ; the patient to go imme diately to bed, and four hours after to commence with the following mixture : Tincture of opium, 30 drops, by measure. Compound tincture of cardamums, 2 ounces. Camphor mixture, 6 ounces.—Mix. Two table.spoonsful to be taken every two hours. After four doses the period to be extended to every four or six hours, and to be continued so long as any relaxation of the bowels remains. Should the bowels become much confined within two or three days from the first attack, the following aperient draught may be taken : —Castor-oil and tincture of rhubarb, of each three sa in% quarters aperients of m u a s n t bounce, strictlymi x a e v d o de d . together . Diet All the first twenty-four hours to consist of good beef tea, mutton broth, well peppered, with rice and batter pudding in small quantities at a time. Common tea or coffee must not be taken. Afterwards roast beef or mutton, rice pudding, and port wine and water may be taken till the patient is quite restored. The above remedies I strongly recommend to be kept in readiness by every adult person, and for children precisely the same treatment, in proportion ably diminished doses. Remaining, Sir, yours obediently, WILLIAM M A RSDEN, M.D. Senior Surgeon of the Royal Free Hospital, Sept. 14, 1849. THE CHOLERA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUA: RESPECTED FRIEND,-1 have the satisfaction in believing that I have been the means of saving more than one life from the fatal effects of the cholera, by the party adopting Dr. Thompson's advice, viz., by taking a full dose of castor-oil, abstaining from food of an acid or irritating nature, or liquids of nn inflammatory description. AmOng others, I believes a decided case of cholera occurred in the neighbour hood of St. James-street, the day before yesterday ; the party informed me last evening, so severely were they suffering the night Wore, that they felt ccnfi• dent, but for the eil, they must have died before morning. Nuw, if this is, as Dr. Thompson, of Edinburgh, asserted, a certain preventative, surely it cannot be too universally known. The Doctor assured me that he did not lose one patient out of a very considerable number that came under his care where the party applied to him in time; and it tn.ay be reasonably inferred that the efficacy of oil is confirmed by the eminent Spanish physician who administered with complete success olive oil. Yours respectfully, THOMAS MOTLEY. S tangate Lambeth 9 mon. 13, 1849. P.S.—As castor oil is well known for its mild and soothing nature, there can scarcely be any danger to the most delicate constitution adopting it. THE CHILDERS AND HER LATE COMMANDER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE VIE: read the recent article in The Sun on the then pending court-martial with all but unalloyed feelings of delight. My only apprehension was, that the results, owing to the absurd constitution of the court, might have proved you prophetically false, Although the prosecutors' punishment has not been added to his own, I am still disposed to think that if the prisoner has had enough, they have, after what wa have seen, something too much. In addition to their sentence they have yet another yoke to bear, though not the " Pitman necklace," still heavy enough to men in their unfortunate circumstances. Shall a country, whose purse is ever open to cries of distress from abroad, refuse to lend a helping hand to officers, cruelly driven from her service, who, in spite of all that may be said against them, have at least (and this is no mean achievement) ridded the navy of a tyrant, and the country of a monster in British uniform. The expenses of the court-martial are doubtless heavy. We cannot better follow up your late article than by inviting subscriptions to defray them. I understand they have already commenced in the country.—Yours, HOMO. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Thomas Reynolds, Elizabeth Storey, and Mary Glennill, were charged with conspiring together to prefer a charge of assault against Mr. William Storey, a tailor, residing in Fleet-street, without foundation. Mr. Parry, with Mr. Parnell, appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Clarkson defended Reynolds, and Storey and Glennill were defended by Mr. Huddle stone and Mr. Ballantine. Mr. PARRY, in opening the case for the prosecution, stated that Mr. Reynolds, having been formerly in the employ of Mr. Storey, had every opportunity of know. ing the temper of Mrs. Storey, with whom he had con spired not only to bring forward a false charge but also to entirely ruin him. The 25th of March was the day on which the assault was alleged to have been committed, and Mr. Storey would, on his oath, tell the jury that he had committed no, such an offence. lie would call in every person who was in the house at the time of the assault. It was said to have been committed in the dining-room, and he would produce a person who was underneath the room at the time, and would posi tively state that no such assault could have been committed. As regarded the defendant Reynolds, he would prove that Mrs. Storey was in the constant habit of attending the shop of Mr. Reynolds, who carried on business as a tailor, and also lived in Fleet street; when there she was always closeted with Reynolds, and was also frequently seen to carry large bundles with her from her husband's to the shop of defendant. He would also prove that Rey nolds had frequently expressed a malicious feeling against Mr. Storey, and his determination to harm him. The REcoßDErt,after the case had proceeded to some length, expressed an opinion that the indictment was not supported by the evidence, and Mr. PARRY said that he should at once bow to the opinion thus expressed by the Court, but his in structions were peremptory to call all the witnesses. Some further evidence was then gone into, but the case for the prosecution was not in any material re spect strengthened by it, and the Learned Counsel at length mid he did not feel that, under the circum stances, he should be justified in occupying any more of the public time. The jury accordingly, under his Lordship's direc tion, returned a verdict o f N o t gu il ty. There were two other indictments against the de fendants, arising out of the same transaction, but Mr. PARRY said that after what had taken place he should not proceed with them. Mr. CLARKSON said there was not the slightest foundation for the charges that had been preferred. The defendants were then discharged. Stephen Cummins alias Charles Deer, aged 31, painter, was indicted for bigamy. The prisoner pleaded Guilty. Louisa Webber, the female with whom the cere mony of marriage was gone through on the second occasion, stated, in answer to questions put by the Court, that she was thirty-three years old, and had been a widow three years and a half when she became acquainted with the prisoner. He described himself to her as a single man with no incumbrance, and they were married at Hampton on the 30th of July last. She soon afterwards discovered that the prisoner was a married man, and that his wife was living. The prisoner, it appeared, did not derive any property from the marriage. The prisoner said that he and his first wife parted by mutual consent, and he had not seen her for fifteen months. Before they parted his wife wrote to him to ask him to give her her liberty. The REcoarEa—What do you mean by giving her her liberty ? Defendant—Why, that we might not live together. I gave her her liberty as she wished, and she gave me mine : she told me she was going to be married, and I gave her leave to do so, and she said I might do the same. I then married this woman, as I con sidered myself a single man. The RECORDER here handed to the second wife the following document, which was taken from the pri soner, and asked her if she had ever seen it before : TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 18 3 1849 She replied that when she discovered the prisoner was a married man, and taxed him with it, he pro duce l the paper in question, as he said, to satisfy her that their marriage was legal, and he at the same time told her that it was signed by his first wife. The paper was as follows : " This paper certifies that Stephen Deer sold his lawful wife for five shillings for the term of his na tural life, and all parties agrees to the following words To pay five shillings and one shilling to drink health'." Several signatures were appended to this precious document, and among them one purporting to be that of the prisoner's first wife. The RECORDER, in passing sentence, said it was a great aggravation of the offence that had been com mitted by the prisoner that he had induced his wife to be a party to such a profligate and disgraceful proceeding as the alleged sale, and to induce her to believe that the solemn contract which they had origi nally entered into could b e broken by any suc h act. Under any circumstances it was a great public offence for a man to go through the ceremony of marriage with another woman while his wife was living; and in this case, as he before stated, the act had been aggravated by the profligate conduct of the prisoner with reference to the alleged sale of his wife. lie then ordered the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for one year. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Yesterday William St. Leger, who refused his addrfes, but who belongs to that class of persons called "duffers," and is well known, was charged w ith stealing four pieces of cloth, value 2/. 103., from Messrs. Pullen and Co., of 59, Aldermanbury, under the following circumstances:— Robert Packman, 133, said, in consequence of in formation I received on Friday evening last, from a porter in the employ of Mr. Pullen, of 59, Alder manbury, I went there in company with Bull, 127, on Saturday morning, about six o'clock, and secreted myself in the warehouse, Bull also being likewise bid. About five minutes to eight o'clock the prisoner came into the warehouse when the porter was sweep ing it. The prisoner said " Good morning" to the porter, and added, " You have have got a fine stock of cloth here," and walked down among the piles of cloth, when he continued, "and very good cloths they are too." He put his hand on a piece and said to the porter, " Can't you let me have a piece this morning ?" The porter said "No, I am afraid," knowing that I and Bull were concealed. The prisoner said "It's all right ; have you got any broad cloths ?" and the porter again replied in the negative. The prisoner then picked out a piece of cloth, brought it close to where I was, and laid it on the ccunter, saying to the porter, " Can't you let me have two y ar d s an d a half of this ?" The latter said, "No, I'd rather not; I am afraid it will be mused;" upon which St. Leger replied, "You fool, it will be all right ; they won't know it." The porter then said, " I have got some trouser pire - ...es here," and the prisoner asked if they were cut off. The porter replied that they were, and the prisoner atked to look at them. They were brought from another part of the warehouse, and the prisoner, having looked at them, laid them on the counter, at the same time saying, "Haven't you any better stuff than this ? this is poor stuff;" to which the porter replied, " No, I have not." After this the prisoner asked for the yard measure, saying that he would take two and a half yards of that, which he accordingly cut off; and then asked if there was any more, to which the porter replied that he could not have any more, as he was frightened. St. Leger then replied, "If you'll show me, I'll tell you which is right, and they won't miss it." The porter declined, but let him have a piece of paper and some string at the prisoner a request, and he tied the cloth that had been cut off and three pieces of trousering. The porter said, "I h ope this will not get where my master will see." The prisoner made use of a bad expression, and said, "Do you think lam a fool ?" He then asked the porter for two sheets of paper to put the pieces in, and went away. In about seven or eight minutes he returned, and took the cloth away, saying to the porter, " I shall see you at the Weavers' Arms at twelve o'clock." I then got from my hiding place, went out, and saw him in custody of Bull in Alder manbury, with the property in his possession. Ishmael Edwards was then sworn, and said, I am a porter to Mr. Pullen and know the prisoner. More than twelve months ago the prisoner met me in Shore ditch, and asked me to take beer with him, which I d:d, he having been in the warehouse before. The prisoner asked me if I could get any goods for him, and I told him I was rather afraid, and he said all other porters did so, I left him and went home and told my master. A few mornings after I saw him in Fore-street, He asked me to buy some gold chains and a watch, and several things in that way, and I told him I did not want them. Since then he met me and asked how I cut the cloths, whether in lengths or not, and on my saying " Yes," the prisoner said "That's the dodge," and that I ought to make Si. every week. I told him I did not know how to cut or make them up, and he replied " I'll do that. I'll make them up and make it all right." The ALDERMAN asked the witness if he told his master all these circumstance ? Edwards said that he did. Mr. Pullen observed that it was in consequence of this informatio❑ that the trap was laid for the pri soner, for the purpose, if possible, of stopping such a system of inveigling servants to rob their employers. Edwards, in continuation, said—During the last week the prisoner met me several times and asked me whether I coul not get him any cloth, and by the direction of my master I made the appointment for him to be there on Saturday morning, and what the officer stated is correct. The ALDERMAN.—And the prisoner cut off the 2f yards ? Edwards—He did. The prisoner, in the first instance, wished to impeach the porter's honesty by cross-examining, to show that he had made numerous purchases from him, but Edwards denied that he ever let him have any thing in his life. Ultimately a solicitor attended for the prisoner, but by his advice St. Leger reserved his defence, and he was fully committed to Newgate for trial. BOW-STREET. Thomas Erskine Grant, a respectably attired middle-aged man, was placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine charged with indecency. Richard Wood, a lighterman, of 21, George-street, 'Adelphi, deposed to having see n th e pr i soner w i t h two little girls under twelve years of age in the dark arches of the Adelphi, on Sunday afternoon, about four o'clock. His conduct excited the suspicions of witness, who watched him for half an hour and up wards. The children accompanied him to a recess leading to the terrace, and accessible by folding doors, through which he distinctly saw the prisoner with his back against the wall, beckoning to the children. The witness described the state of the prisoner's dress at the time, and other particulars, Cross-examined by Mr. Hope, a solicitor—l am a candidate for the office of beadle in the district. That circuinstance has not influenced me to bring the pre• sent charge. I have done so as a duty I owe to the public. The evidence of Wood was partly confirmed by a porter at the Adelphi Pier and a policeman, both of whom he had called to witness the prisoner's conduct. Mary Ann Rollings, a child about twelve years old, stated that she was out walking with her younger sister on Sunday afternoon, when the prisoner met them in Salisbury-street, Strand, and purchased some walnuts, giving a halfpenny worth to each. He fol lowed them to the arches, and there bought some apples for them. He remained with them some time, and when they went up the terrace steps he followed them and exposed himself, beckoning them to go to him, which they refused to do. The sister, a little girl seven years of age, also described the condition of the prisoner's dress, and confirmed her sister's statement generally. The eldest girl had an infant in her arms at the time. Mr. Hope, addressing his Worship in answer to the charge, stated that he was the personal friend rather than the professional adviser of Mr. Grant, who was a gentleman highly respected and well known in the neighbourhood, and hitherto without an imputation upon his moral character. His kind ness and general attachment to children (having none of his own) were proverbial among his friends. He Ive.s married to a young and amiable wife, to whom ne was affectionately attached, and whom be had only left for a few moments on Sunday afternoon to take a short walk before dinner—circumstances which were all inconsistent with the supposition that such an offence was ever intended by him. His only ob j,-ct in entering the recess was one of an ordinary kind, and he did not even know the children had gone there. The prisoner also addressed the Court, stating that he suffered from a complaint which made his visit to the recess imperative. In giving the children walnuts and apples he had merely done that which be was accustomed to do very frequently when he met chil dren in the streets. The inspector of police then present would bear him out in this statement, as he had often given his (the inspector's) children pence for a similar purpose. Inspector Page stated that his family lived opposite a public house occasionally used by the prisoner, and he believed the prisoner had given his children pence sometimes when they were at play in front of the how:. He knew nothing more about him. Several respectable witnesses gave the prisoner a good character for kind, humane, and strictly moral conduct, believing him to be incapable of the crime imputed to him. They stated that be had lodged at 1, Salisbury-street for tw o o r thre e y ears . 111 r. JARDINE was quite sensible of the painful nature of the charge, and still more so because he believed it had been satisfactorily proved. There was no reason to attribute improper motives to Wood, even if his statements had not been so abundantly confirmed by other witnesses, two of whom he bad called to the spot to watch the prisoner also—a course which men wishing to extort money by preferring such charges were not very likely to adopt. T4king this view of the case, he felt bound to inflict the se verest penalty in his power--namely, three naunthe imprisonment, with hard labour. MAR YLEBONI7. Henry Livermore and George Gilpin were brought up in custody, on the chttrge of having been con cerned in stealing an hydrometer, value four gu i neas , the property of Mr. John Earle Lawford of the Castle Tavern, Kentish-town. A great deal of evidence was gone into, and the inquiry occupied the attention of the Court upwards of an hour. Gilpin was dismissed, and Livermore remanded till Monday next. Mr. - Thomas Ashton Cochayne, master of a gram mar shcol at Bronipton, and who was liberated upon bail on Monday, the 10th inst., was re-examined be fore the sitting magistrate, Mr. Broughton, on the charge of having committed an indecent assault upon police•constable Angell, 255 S. Mr. Steele attended as solicitor for the defendant, for whom he acted upon the first inquiry, and he cross examined the complainant at some length with regard to his conduct while living at Melkshatn, which, according to a letter received by him from the magistrate's clerk there, was of anything but a favourable nature. The investigation lasted nearly two hours, and the magistrate, at length, came to the conclusion that he was bound to send the case for the consideration of a jury. The accused, who denied the truth of the allega tion made by the officer as to the grossly-indecent assault upon which he had been brought up, was bailed, as in the first inst. , nce, by highly respectable friends, in the sum of 2001. each, in addition to his own recognisance in 3001. for his being forthcoming to take his trial. Mr. SECKER asked when he expected to get further evidence, as he could not remand him for more than eight days. He (Air. Binns) must, however, give him some proof that the prisoner was the man before he could acquiesce in his demand. Mr. lithos said he could prove it by the prisoner's admission. A letter was found upon him to that effect, which he could produce, but he would rather not make public the whole of the contents at present, as the ends of justice might be defeated. Mr. SECECER_said that if he wanted the prisoner to be detained he must produce some grounds. He had better read some portion of the letter which related to the marriage. Mr. Binns then read the following passage from the letter :—" I was determined to marry her (Miss Lucas), which I did in the name of Richardson, at Christ Church, Blackfri.irs-road." The letter was signed " John Chilcutt Purnell." Alfred Aylett, 51 M, said he took the letter from the prisoner. He acknowledged it to be in his hand writing, and that he had married a second wife. He found on the prisoner a number of pawnbrokers' duplicates relative to female wearing apparel, and some documents belonging to his second wite Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk, asked the prisoner whether he had anything to say why he should not be remanded ?—Prisoner replied that he had nothing to say at present. He should reserve his defence until a future day. Mr. SECIEER said he should remand him for a week, which would give the officer an opportunity of proceeding to Bristol to obtain evidence of the first marriage. _ He was accordingly retnand.d for a week. THAMES. ALLEGED EXTENSIVE SYSTEM OF ROBBERY.—Yes terday Joseph Hadley Riddell, a well-dressed 'nap, about 34 years of age, late confidential manager of the extensive chemical and white lead works of Messrs. Pontifex and Co., of Mill-wall, Poplar, was charged with embezzling and stealing property to a large amount belonging to his employers. 't he charges were more of a general than of a definite nature, and extended over a considerable period. The prisoner had been in the employ of Messrs. Pontifex for seven years, first at a salary of 5001. per annum, which, in consequence of the busi ness not turning out so profitable as was anticipated, was afterwards reduced to 2501. It was alleged that the prisoner 'had long systematically defrauded his employers by appropriating their materials, and em ploying their workmen in private business. No case was made out at present against the prisoner to war rant his committal, but he was remanded for a week, Mr. Yardley expressing his willingness to accept bail. NAVAL 110 ThLLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 17. The Hecate steam-sloop, 816 tons, 240 horse power, was put in special com mission this morning by electric orders from the Admiralty, to carry dispatches to the Cape of Good Hope.

Her dispatches are expected down by the mail train this evening, and she will sail to-morrow. The Terrible steam-frigate, Captain Ramsay, arrived this morning from Malta and Gibraltar. She brought a few invalids from the Mediterranean squadron, but no news. She is coming into this har bour to coal, and will then proceed to Woolwich to be paid off. The Arrogant steam-frigate, Captain Fitzroy, returned to Spithead last night at seven o'clock, to await sailing orders.

Her Majesty's steam-vessel Salamander arrived from Pembroke on Wednesday. In consequence of an arrangement between the civil and clerical functionaries yesterday was ap pointed a day for a public fast here; and the dock yard, victualling yard, and other Government establishments were closed. All the churches and chapels of the three towns of Plymouth, Devon port, and Stonehouse were thrown open, and ser mons were preached in the market place. Perhaps there never was a day in this locality when so many persons paid regard and attended in such large numbers to their religious duties as on this occasion. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 17.—The Firebrand, the Styx, and the Archer steam vessels have been ordered to be brought forward at this port for commission, and riggers have commenced to-day to put up the rigging of the Firebrand, that vessel being in an ad vanced state. WOOLWICH ROYAL DOCKYARD BATTALION.— The whole of the companies of this dockyard bri gade assembled in the dockyard, at two o'clock on Saturday ; the artillery companies consisting of 9 sergeants, 9 corporals, and 287 men; the boat brigade consisting of 8 sergeants, 8 corporals, and 200 men, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Bellamy; and the infantry companies consisting of 10 sergeants, 11 corporals, and 262 men, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Lang; making a total of 27 sergeants, 28 corporals, and 749 men. They marched through the town headed by their brass band until opposite the Royal Arsenal, where the infantry companies were detached, and proceeded to the butt for practice with their small arms. The artillery companies and the boat brigade held on to the marshes for practice with shot ; the artillery companie, with 6-pounder field battery guns, and the boat brigade with 18 -pounders, 24-pounders, and 32-pounders, mounted on ship carriages. The prac tice of the infantry companies was excellent, 10 rounds having been served to each man, one-half to be fired at 60, and the other half at 100 yards' range. The first company, consisting of forty-eight men, fired 230 balls out of the 480 supplied to them into the sail-cloth of which the target was formed, 10 of the balls entering the bull's-eye, and the others into the other circles and square of the target. Com modore Henry Eden, Colonel-Commandant of the battalion, arrived at the butt to witness the practice, and showed that he was a good marksman by taking a gun from one of the men and sending the ball through the target. The artillery companies prac tised with their 6-pounder guns at 600 yards' range, and out of the 55 shot fired four entered the target, and all the others passed near to it. The boat bri gade fired at 950 yards' range , and out of the 3 6 rounds six entered the ta rge t, and the others were so close to it th a t on l y th ree s h ots wou ld h ave missed a frigate's pi nnace , h a d t h ey b een di rec t e d against an object of that dimensions. On Friday Mr. H. M. Wakley concluded aaci journed inquest at the King's Head, Highstreet, Isling ton, on Adelaide, the daught( r of Mr. Stur o mer cd ,_g ba un d smith, West street, Llington, aged 18. pe as formed an unfortunate liaison w ith a married man; her family did all in their power, but in vain, to break off the connexion. On Sunday night the man's wife visited Mr. Sturmer's house, where the saw deceased, w ith whom she had very high words. Soon afterwards de. ceased escaped from her father's hou m set nn hirtgnsghle was i the window. Until one o'cloc k the following morning seen wandering about the neighbourhood in a state of phr. iv. That day her bonnet was found on the batiks of the New River, near Northampton-strtet, and upon further search her body was found close by in the river. The body was in such a decomposed state that the fur goon with difficulty male a post nun tem examination, when he detected in the stomach corrosive sublimate, which, in his opinion, was administered to cause abor tion, but could not say whether there was a sufficient quantity to produce death—Verdict, "hound drowned." AEBOSTATION. — An aeronaut, named Arban, as cended in a balloon at Marseilles on the 21 instant. He descended ton following day at Stupini, near Turin. with intermarrying with Mary Elizabeth Lucas, his former wife being then and now alive. Mr. Joseph Goldsmith Lucas, a respectable farmer, at Ticehurst, near Reading was called by Mr. Binns, who was retained for the prosecution. Witness stated that the prisoner introduced himself into the family while living at Reading, and, from the re spectable situation which he held and his plausible statements about his property, he was allowed to pay his attentions to his sister. Knowing that she had considerable property besides money in the funds, from letters which he intercepted, he induced her to leave home clandestinely and dispose of her property, and on the 12th of July last he married her in the name of James Richardson, at Christchurch, Black friars road. Having obtained all her property from her, he deserted her, and witness ascertained that he had another wife living at Bristol. • Mr. SECKER asked whether he was possessed of proof of the first marriage ? Mr. Binns replied'that he had the certificates of both the marriages. The second one was found on the prisoner when taken into custody. He asked for a remand for the purpose of obtaining further evidence. THE .

The officer who took the prisoner into custody said that during the whole of Sunday and for some days past the neighbourhood of Charles-street and its vici nity were in a state of riot and confusion, in conse quence of a warfare which was carried on by two factions of Irish boys and lads connected with Saffron hill and Gray's Inn-Line. They met together armed with bludgeons and other weapons, and fought despe rately against each other, and injuries were inflicted on Loth sides, but their activity eluded the police. The prisoner, in his defence, said that himself and family had been annoyed most egregiously by the violent conduct of the parties alluded to, and his children had been violently attacked and injured. On Sunday last upwards of one hundred of the lowest description of boys assembled in Charles-street with sticks such as are used by drovers. They commencing fighting and making a great noise, and hearing that his children, who were playing near his house, were hurt in the crowd, and feeling indignant, he left the house, and seeing the prosecutor acting violently he took the stick from him, and rushing into the crowd he certainly did strike in every direction, but he was not aware of having struck the prosecutor, Mr. COMEE—Then you don't know whether you struck him or not? You did not know or care who you struck ? Prisoner—That is true, but the nuisance was disgraceful. They broke my windows, shutters, and doors by throwing stones ; there are large holes through the street-door in consequence of their ex treme violence. Mr. COMBS asked the prosecutor whether he bad the stick, or did he use any violence ? He said he had no stick, and he did nothing to offend. The constable said he vti as connected with the Gray's Inn-lane gang or faction, and was one of the most desperate, and he had seen him with a stick like the one produced. Dlr. COMBS reprimanded the boy, and said he had brought it all upon himself by his own misconduct. He cautioned him as to his future conduct, discharged Mr. Long, and directed the attention of the police to the future proceedings of such young ruffians. Mr. Long thanked his Worship and left the court. " WHICHEVER NAME YOU PLEASE." William Grindley, alias William Grice, alias William Edward', who represented himself as being the sun of Captain Grindley, of the 43d Light Infantry, was charged by Mr. Isaac Jacobson, jewelle r , of Oxford street, with stealing a valuable dressing-case. The particulars of the case have been already detailed in the newspapers. The prisoner, on being placed at the bar, blubbered like a child, as at his former examination Some further additional evidence being taken, Mr. COMBE asked the prisoner if he had ever gone by the name of Grice ? Prisoner—Never ! oh, never ! Mr. CoMBE—I have got the certificate of your baptism here. You were christened William Grice. You gave your name William Grindley and William Edwards. Which name will you go by ? Prisoner-- I don't care which ; any name you like. Mr. COMBE—It is immaterial. Your father's name was John Grice. Prisoner—l know nothing of that.

Yesterday a young woman, named Jane Murray, was brought before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Elliott, charged with attempting self-destruction. It appeared from the evidence of police-constable Fraser, 87 L, that on Friday evening last he was called into a public-house in the Westminster-road, and the prisoner was pointed out to him as suffering under the effects of poison. He saw that such was the case, and forthwith procured medial aid; an eme tic was administered to the prisoner by the assistant of Mr. Dodd, a surgeon, and the result was the re moval from the stomach of the prisoner of a large quantity of oxalic acid. The prisoner admitted that she had taken the poison owing to the troubles she had suffered. She was removed to the workhouse in a very weak state, and thence she had now been brought before the Court. When called upon now to say what answer she bad to give to the charge, the prisoner said that when she took the poison she aid not know what sho was about. A young man with whom she had kept company for two years had left her and had married another. He met her on Friday, and after giving her something to drink had communicated the fact to her, and she, on parting with him, had purchased the oxalic acid, which she had obtained under the pretence that she required it to clean a straw bonnet. She added that she should not have taken the poison if she bad been in her right senses at the time. The magistrate ordered her to be remanded for a week, and to be taken care of in the infirmary of the prison. On Saturday last the magistrates of this court re ceived the following note, with its enclosure, for the use of the poor-box. " Fleetwood, 17th September, 1849.
