THE ARMY. Major• General Sutherland arrived at the Mauritius on the 27th June, and immediately assumed the command of the troops stationed in that coluny. We are happy to find that the troops in London have been ordered to take their cloth trowsers into wear, a precaution by no means unnecessary at the present moment, and we hope this will be extended to the military in all parts ofthe country, as nothing can tend more to their comfort at this changeable season, particularly during the existence of .the epidemic.

Wind—Easterly, smart breeze. CHATHAM, SEPT. 18.—The Calypso, 20 guns, Captain Henry J. W or th, sa il e d from the Nore up the river Medway on Monday morning, the 17th, and arrived opposite the dockyard at twelve A.M. She took her moorings alongside the Hussar hulk. Her general appearance is such that she looks more like a ship just fitted out than one that has completed a service of nearly four years. She commences the discharge of her stores this day, and the dismant ling of her rigging, preparatory to being paid off. It is stated that much sickness prevailed on board when off Mexico, and that the fever was fatal to about one in three. The Wolverine, 16-gun sloop, was taken on Saturday last under the spurs, when she was masted, and the riggers have commenced setting up her rig ging. She is expected shortly to be put into com mission. _ _ The Duck naval lighter, J. Savage master, arrived here on the 17th, from Portsmouth, with stores for this yard; and the Goodwill, Pledge master, arrived on the 16th with stores from Woolwich. Both these vessels are alongside the dockyard, discharging their cargoes. WOOLWICET, SEPT. 18.—The Archer, steam-vessel, went down the river on an experimental trial on Saturday, having on hoard a number of naval officers studying at the factory, and several other gentlemen connected with the steam department. The vessel is of 973 tons burden, and fitted with engines of 200 horse power taken out of the Rifleman, a vessel of only 484 horsP• power. The diameter of the screw used in the Rifleman was 8 feet, with a pitch of 8 feet, and in that vessel the engines made 46 to 48 revolutions per minute, hut the greatest number they made in the rcher, with a screw of 12 feet 6 inches, was 23.3 per minute on Saturday, and when the vessel was tr ied again, after having 12 inches taken off the diameter of the screw, it was 23.95 revolutions per minute. The average speed at , ained by the Archer la three runs, twice down and once up the measured mile in LT:ll;4' Reach, was 6 391 knots per hour, and the average of .six runs yesterday was 6.151 knots per hour, the vessel drawing 13 feet 3 inches forward, and 14 feet 10 inches aft. VISIT OF A RUSSIAN WAR-STEAMER TO SOUTH- A3trroN.—The Russian war-steamer, Kamschatka, left S , uthempton on Sunday. She called at that port both on her voyage to and from Madeira, to which place she conveyed the Duke of Reichstadt. Russian money of the value of 10,0001. sterling was spent in Southampton during the two visits of the Kamschatka. A large quan tity of ship's stores was taken in there, and some portion of the crew were traversing tho town from morning until night, purchasing wearing apparel, domestic utensils, cutlery, and other things. It is very evident thut Dutch manufactures of all kinds are highly esteemed by ti e Russians from the eagerness with which the Kamschatka sailors took advantage of their visit to ti uthampton to spend their money on them. It was curious to see parties of these sailors, most of them pos sessing the Tartar head and features, visiting almost every shop of the town. Their appearance and manners were the opposite of the reckless and jovial jack-tars of this country. The Russian officers politely allowed the inhabitants of S iuthempton to visit and inspect their ship. It certainly is a very fine one, but cleanliness is not considered on board' ono of the cardinal virtues, as it is on board an E ng li s h man o f -war. What astonished a visitor most was the mode of feeding the common sailors. A large wooden trough was filled with a sort of porridge made of ground beans and some fatty matter. Two men stirred it with rakes so as to make the admixture perfect. This was served out to the sea men in basins, and the men, squatting on their haunches, ate it by means of wooden spoons with evident gusto. The commander of the Kamschatka spoke English fluently, and one evenisig during his stay in Southemp ton ho went into the Sun tavern, where the merchants and tradeamen assemble, and pretending to be an American, he introduced the subject of Russia, and heard some curious and unflattering opinions respecting the Emperor of all the Russias, and his c induct towards llungary. The Russian money which the crew of the Kamschatka spent consisted of the ducat, worth 95., and the rouble, worth 16 s. The former was a very beauti ful coin. The money changers stated that both coins were of a very pure quality. Prince Canino (Lucien Bonaparte), the late Presi dent of the Roman Republic, is to he entertained at a soirée at the Town-hall, at Birmingham, on Monday evening next.

WHISTON AND THE ROCHESTER CHAPTER.— Yesterday the Dean and Chapter of Rochester met, pur suant to adjournment, to decide on Mr. Whiston's case. They assembled at twelve o'clock with closed doors. At h-if past tour they had not summoned Mr. Whieton to their presence, nor apparently decided in any way upon their course proceeding. DR. THOMAS PRICE AND THE ECLECTIC REVIEW. —The Dissenting public will learn with great regret that Dr. Thomas Price has been pronounced, by medical authority, in such a state of health as forbids any further active participation in public engagements. It has been, discovered that he labours under such a diseased affec tion of the heart as requires perfect tranquillity of mind and body. One consequence of this melancholy dis covery is, that the Doctor will be unable to prosecute his literary labours in connexion with the Eclectic Review, which, for 12 years, he has edited with so much effi ciency. His retirement from that post of usefulness will in itself be a great loss to the cause of civil and reli gious liberty, which has never had a more zealous, and but seldom so able an advocate.—Patriot. FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday an inquest was held at the Caledonian Arms, Caledonian-road, Islington, before Mr. Wakley, on the body of Thomas Perkins, aged 32, a miner, employed in the Copenhagen Tunnel, of the Great Northern Railway, Islington. It appeared that at five o'clock on Monday evening the deceased was engaged with other miners forming part of the Tunnel Shaft, No. 2, and when at a depth of ten feet, about five tons weight of clay gave way, and fell upon the unfor tunate man, who was completely buried. Nine other men had been at work on the spot with the deceased just before the accident happened, and they narrowly escaped the same fate. Numerous labourers commenced digging after the deceased, and in about half an hour they got hi m out. Medical aid was cal led in, but to no purpose, as life was quite extinct. There was np blame attributable to any party, and the j ury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death" The deceased was a single man. MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL.

ADVERTISEMENT.]---A Cure Of a severe Skin Disease by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—James Jenkins, an agricultural labourer residing on a farm near Newtown, suf fered dreadfully from a most fearful disease of the skin, which broke out in blo ches in various parts of his body ; the com plaint was gradually impairing his constitution, he had become low-spirited and nervous. He had tried to obtain relief by medicines from two or three medical men, but their remedies proved useless. He then commenced ta , ing Holloway's Pills, and rubbing the Ointment well into the affected parts, and by these means he is now restored to perfect health and his skits freed from all impurities.— Sold by all Druggists, and at Pro fessor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.; CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) William Isaac Fitch, 37, pleaded guilty to two in dictments charging him with embezzling money to a considerable amount, the property of Messrs. Morgan, Martyr, and Co., his employers. To a third indict ment of a similar description the prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. PARNELL, who was for the prosecution, said e that the prosecutor s o f thi s i n di c tment carried aon businessd the prisoner wholesale had statione rsbeen in theirin ar ri n employment gdon - str et foret, n of this nearly twenty years, and up to the fh time hadrit . availed There trans actionwa si theyo doubt ha , d a however, h i h opinion tha t o the prisoner is hiintegrity. himselfofhhie own ispo use;sition and, with regardtoappropriate to h large in dictmentstumesof money to to which he had pleaded not guilty, he believed the fact was, that the sums which that in dictment alleged him to have misappropriated, had, in point of fact, been repaid by the produce of other acts of embezzlement. The prosecutors, however, had no vindictive feeling against the prisoner, and they had no desire to proceed upon this indictment, but would merely rely on the two charges to which the prisoner had pleaded guilty. The RECORDER inquired what salary the prisoner received. Mr. PARNELL said his salary was 1601. per year. He at the same time informed the Court that the prisoner had a wife and four children. The RECORDER asked what was the amount of the prisoner's defalcations ? A gentleman connected with the prosecutors' firm said that the prisoner was ascertained to have received nearly 600/, for which he had not accounted. Mr. O'BRIEN, who was instructed fur the prisoner, said he was requested to ask the Court to look at a letter written by the senior partner in the firm, but who had now retired from business, and which would give the Court information with regard to the former character and conduct of the prisoner in confirmation of what had been already stated upon that point. He was also instructed to inform the Court that the pri soner had been placed in his present position by having unfortunately mixed himself up with railway specu lations. The RECORDER said it was no excuse for a man to commit a robbery in order that it might enable him to indulge in speculations of any description. His Lordship then addressed the prisoner, and after ob serving that there was no doubt he had been carrying on a most extensive system of plunder upon his em• ployers, said that the Court could not allow any feel ing of sympathy for any person to interfere with what was clearly their duty in such a case, which was to pass a sentence which would be likely to operate as an example to deter others in a similar position from acting in the same manner. The prisoner was then sentenced to be transported for seven years. Robert Dailey, an aged man, surrendered to take his trial for wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. IVilde were for the prose, cution, and Mr. W. Cooper was counsel for the de fendant. The prosecutor of this indictment was a person named Bennett, who carries on the business of a soda-water manufacturer at Brixton. It appeared that the defendant went into his service in March last, and he was engaged as bottler, and continucd in that employment until the 30th of June, when, in consequence of some misconduct, the prosecutor dis charged him, and at the same time paid him the whole of his wages. A very few days afterwards the defendant caused a writ to be issued against the prosecutor for 271. 3s. 4d., alleging that this amount was due to him for arrears of wages and for lent money, and on the 10th of July the defendant went before Mr. Justice Patteson at chambers, and delibe • rately made an affidavit that he had been informed by a person named John Redding, who was in the ser vice of the prosecutor, that he was about t o l eave t h e country, and that h e had; disposed of his business, and had sent a number of trunks, containing his wearing apparel and other property, to a person named Raw lins, who resided near the Bank of England, to be sent on board a vessel bound for Australia, and which was expected to sail on the 12th of July; and also, that the prosecutor intended to take his departure in her. The effect of this affidavit was to justify the Learned Judge in issuing a warrant authorising the apprehension of the prosecutor, and his det en ti on i n custody until he should find b a il to the amount of the debt and costs The present prosecution was founded upon this affidavit, and the evidence clearly established thet there was not a particle of truth in the statements that were made by the defendant. The prosecutor swore positively that he never had any intention to go to Australia; that he did not owe the defendant a farthing; and also that no person named John Red ding had ever b,-en in his service ; and all the other allegations made in the defendant's affidavit were ne gatived in an equally distinct manner. Mr. COOPER addressed the jury for the defendant, and called their attention particularly to the fact that he had only said that " he had been informed" of the statements to the truth of which he had been sworn, and he urged that it was possible he might have re• ceived the information from some person or other, and that, in his anxiety to recover his claim upon the prosecutor, he had made use of the information he had J so acquired in the manner stated. Th e L earne d Counsel also urged upon the jury the age of the pri soner, and on that account called upon them to give his conduct a favourable consideration. The RECORDER having summed up the case, The jury, after a short deliberation, found the de fendant Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of his age. The Learned JUDGE, in sentencing the defendant, commented upon the very serious nature of the offence of which be had been convicted, anti observed, that but for the recommendation of the jury and the fact upon which it was founded, he should certainly have felt it his duty to pass a sentence of transportation upon him. He then ordered the defendant to be im prisoned and kept to hard labour for 15 months. Isidore Yarblouski, 17, a Polish Jew, was indicted for a felonious assault upon Leah Isaacs, a girl under 12 years of age. Mr. Laurie conducted the prosecution on behalf of the corporation of London ; Mr. Repton was for the defendant. The charge was clearly established, but the details were, of course, unfit for publication. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the Recorder sentenced the defendant to nine months' imprisonment and hard labour. The defendant wished to know) through the inter preter who had been engaged in the cause, what he was to do with regard to his victuals while he was in gaolf The RECORDER asked what he meant? The in terpreter said that, being a Jew, he wished to know whether he could comply with his religious instruc tions with regard to his food while he was in prison. The RECORDER said he had no power to make any order upon the subject. The defendant should have thought of that before he attempted to debauch a child under 12 years of age. If his religion had kept him from committing such an act he would not have been placed in his present position; but as it had 'not, he must conform hi mse lf to the regulations of the prison in which he would be confined. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) Frederick Brittle, aged 17, described as a painter, was indicted for forging and uttering orders for the receipt of goods, and James Hoare, 39, carpenter, and Edward Downer, 53, a dealer, were indicted for receiving the goods, well knowing them to have been obtained by fraudulent pretences. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Parnell appeared for the prosecution ; and. Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Parry de fended the two elder prisoners. The prisoner Brittle, a somewhat simple, half starved ilookilig lad, dressed in the prison clothes, It then transpired that he had been twice before convicted of swindling, and had been imprisoned for two years and for six months. Tne COMMON SERGEANT sentenced him to two years' imprisonment without hard labour. Upon the lad Brittle being brought up for judg ment, an officer said that he was Thompson's own son, and that he had brought up another son who was used by the gang. The COMMON SERGEANT said it was a very shock ing affair, and if the law had allowed him he would have transported Thompson, but the indictment he pleaded guilty to did not give him the power. The lad was to be pitied, and the sentence would be three months' imprisonment. POLICE IN TELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Sir P. LAURIE called at the Justice-room, and said that he had received the following letter respecting the imaginary Liverpool firm, a report of which ap peared in the newspapers last week. The letter was to the following effect : "Liverpool Guardian Society for the Protection of Trade, Lord -street, Liverpool, Sept. 15. " Sir,—l observe by the police report in the Times newspaper of yesterday, your very laudable desire to expose the doings of that notorious schemer, Thomas Parr Gilmour. In my capacity of secretary to the Liver pool Guardian Society for the Protection of Trade, the practices of this man have frequently been brought under my notice, and as he appears to be renewing his attempts upon the London tradesmen, I beg leave, with the view to put them on their guard, to annex a list of the various names he has used in giving his orders since the year 1840. " I may state that Gilmour has no office or place of busineas in this town, but that he is continually moving from place to place, and sending off his orders in any name that his prolific imagination may suggest, trusting to the chapter of accidents to net a parcel of goods oc casionally from the unwary. At present he is residing in Douglas, Lie of Man, and has very latterly sent or ders to Liverpool in the name of Gilmour and Co., and James Sloan and Co., simultaneously. I posses% nearly 400 of his letters in the various names enumerated. With many thanks for your interesting zeal in gutting down the swindling fraternity, I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient servant, " AMES " To Alderman Si r P eter Laurie, lin J t., READ. Police-offile, Guildhall." " P.S.—The following are the names:—T. P. Gilmour and Co., T. C, Gilmour and Co, John Gilmour and Co., Thomas Gilmour and Co., Messrs. Gilmour and Co., Tomlinson and Co., Clarkson and Co., H. Wilson and Co., Corse and Co., Parr and Co., Mr. Thorne, Mr. Parr, Mr. T. G. Parr, Mr. Corlett, Cross and Co., Fairbrother and Co., Thomas and Co., Trowsdale and Co., and Haw. thorne and Co." Sir P. LAURIE said that he thought by'eving pub licity to the communication he had received it would have a most beneficial effect in protecting tradesmen from being robbed by such a man. On Saturday last a gentleman connected with a Trades Protection cir cular in London, mentioned to him that the party who sent the order to the firm already alluded to was an impostor who had been for years pursuing the same course, and generally went about with a long beard banging down in front of his chest. The Chief Clerk observed that the Trades Protec tion circulars were being established all over the kingdom, and were doing an immense deal of good. Sir P. LAURIE said he had no doubt of that; but the information was confined to the subscribers, as to the real character of the persons, because the news papers very often refrained from giving the indivi dual's name. In the present instance he saw nothing to prevent them doing so, and hoped, by means of the press, that Mr. Gilmour's career of deception would be put an end to. Mr. Alderman FAREBROTEIER (who sat) begged to acknowledge, the receipt of ss. in postage stamps to alleviate the distress from cholera. MARLBORO UGH-S 77? E ET. Frederick William Nicholl Crouch, of Surrey house, Surrey-lane, Battersea, musical com p oser, was summoned before r. Hardwick for having deserted and made no provision for two illegimate children of which he was the father. Mr. Chubb, solicitor, of Verulam-buildings, ap peared for the complainant, and said the case was one of a most painful nature. His client had been seduced from a comfortable home, and was at the time in the service of the late Sir Francis Burdett, as lady's-maid to Lady Burdett, and under promise of marriage; indeed, some form of marriage had been gone through with the defendant, who represented himself as a single man. She had borne the defendant two children, and, at the end of July last, she and her children had been suddenly deserted and left in a totally destitute condition. The defendant could nowhere be found, but it was well known he had ab sconded with a female pupil with whom he was now cohabiting. The defendant was in circumstances of sufficient affluence to enable him to support his off spring. He was a concert singer of some note, and known as the author of "Kathleen Mavourneen," " Dermot Astore," and other Irish songs. P olice -constable Scott proved that he had served two summonses personally on the defendant, at Bat tersea. THE StT LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 18. (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF G. P. HILL. This was the day appointed fir the last examine• tion of the bankrupt, who is described as of Fleet street, carrier. He was also a director in the Parcels Post Company, and was connected with several lines of railway. The balance-sheet has not been filed, and as a reason for this neglect it was stated that the bankrupt was prevented from having access to his accounts and papers. The COMMISSIONER ordered an adjournment for three months. _ ______ ....,........ Several proofs of debt tendered by the creditors of the Parcels Post Company were deferred for further consideration. _ . There were no claims made to-day in respect of any debts resulting from the bankrupt's connexion with railway companies. Messrs. Lawrence and Plews are solicitors to the assignee, Mr. Wryghte (the accountant), who at tended in person to watch the proceedings. IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF WILLIAM JERDAN. This bankrupt, a newspaper proprietor, publisher, and bookseller, of Beauroy•terrace, Gravesend, came up for final examination. Upon the suggestion of Mr. Flews, solicitor to the assignees, an adjournment was decided on, in order that the bankrupt might furnish certain explanations particularly as regarded an alleged partnership. The balance-sheet now filed, which embraces a space of two years, exhibits the following amongst other items:—" Unsecured creditors, 5,790/. ; secured ditto, 5,378/.; profit, about 3,1671.; credit side, debtors, 351/.; bad debts, 100/. ; house expenses, 1,184/. • law charges, 2371. ; es ti ma t e d va lu e o f pro perty held by creditors, 3,0601.; payment of annui ties, &c., 6021.; balance against me on July 2, 1847, 6,1044" pleaded guilty to four indictments charging him, by means of the forged orders, with obtaining a quan tity of turpentine, white lead, vermilion, oil, and other goods, the property of Messrs. Blundell, Spence, and Co. The evidence adduced in support of the indictment proved the following facts :—The prosecutors, who are large oil and colour-merchants, carrying on busi ness at Anchor-wharf, Thames-street, had amongst other numerous customers a person named Brush field, and on the 3d of last month one of the partners in the firm found in their letter-box an order, pur porting to come from that customer, for a cask of white lead, which he gave orders to be supplied, and on the following day the lad Brittle came with a truck and asked for the goods, and, no suspicion being entertained, the order was supplied to him and he took the cask away on a truck. On the 6th the boy came again, and by means of another forged order obtained a carboy of turpentine, a barrel of boiled oil, and 71b. weight of vermilion, and on the 9th came again for a cask of white lead. The orders previously to these being found to have been forged, an officer of the City police was fetched, and, the lad having had the lead given to him, he took it away, followed by the officer, who traced him to 44, Comp ton•street, Clerkenw ell, where he saw him unload it, assisted by Hoare, whose name, as a metal and ma rine store dealer, was over the door. Another officer having been set to watch the house, the boy, who left directly he had unloaded the lead, was followed as far as St. Luke's Church, where the officer stopped him, and, having had some communication, at once took him into custody. The officers then returned to the shop, when Downer entered it from a cellar, and, in answer to their inquiries, said he was the master of the shop. They told him who they were, and he then retracted what he had stated, and said he was not the master of the shop, and Hoare coming into the shop said that he had lent a man named Johnson, or Thompson, some money on the lead, which had just been brought in, as well as the rest of the goods ob tained, which were found in another part of the shop. Upon their being taken into custody, Hoare's wife who the forged r wasge d o g f a v a e o a m a e information n amedThompson,h t a led to twh who it the t roed apprehension soht w a othrdeeprearasoond had d o sohladdtheseanrttictlhees to o w ar it e h , clearly proved was aware how the goods were ob tained. For the defence of Downer it was contended that beyond stating that he was the master of the shop lie was not shown to be taking part in the purchases, and, being father of Hoare's wife, might have thought he had a right to answer the police as he did in the : first instance. The COMMON SERGEANT in summing up said he thought the case against Downer very slight. The jury having consulted some time without being able to come to a decision, retired, and a fresh jury was empanelled. William Thompson aged 55, a painter, was then indicted with the other three prisoners, Brittle, Hoare, and Downer, for conspiring to defraud divers persons. The prisoner pleaded " Guilty." Hoare and Downer were then indicted for re ceiving a quantity of tools, principally carpenters', knowing them to have been stolen. Mr. Ryland prosecuted, and Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Parry defended. In this case it appeared that when the police searched the house of Hoare they found hidden in the garret a large quantity :of excellent carpenters' tools, and upon asking the prisoners about them they said that they had bought them at a sale many years ago. Downer stated that he had made the purchase himself, buying them for his son. The police, believing them to be stolen, made inquiries, and found that on the 16th of June a carpenter's shop at some new buildings on Westbourne-terrace was burglariously entered, and all the workmen's tools stolen, and that those found proved beyond doubt to be the same. Elizabeth George, of No. 2, Fitzroy-street, the mother, was examined—She had lived with th 3 de fendant as his wife for some time. She had been taught at first to believe that the defendant, who then lived at Portland-chambers, Great Titehfield-street, was a single man, but she had since found out he had a wife and family living. The marriage ceremony of the Roman Catholics had taken place between them. The defendant had deserted her since July, and had done nothing towards the support of her children. The defendant had robbed her of the little property she had saved, and of her furniture, and had left her totally destitute. swer. You asked her, " Did I ill-use you ?" She made no answer. She said nothing. The prisoner and the deceased's sister were pulling the deceased up roughly, when witness sail to the prisoner, " Fellow, what do you mean ?" being afraid she would die through being moved. On saying thi s th e y l a id her down agai n on t h e b ed ; and he (witness) left her alive. He saw her again on Saturday morning, when she was rapidly sinking, and she was in a very filthy state, with vermin crawling over her. The body ap peared plump and in good condition. He opeeed the body, on doing which he discovered a very extensive bruise on the left breast, extending to the ribs. There was an extravasation of blood under the mammary glands. There were also several minor bruises on the legs and arms. The viscera and the abdomen were slightly congested, and presented the appearance of a person having died of the cholera. The brain was unhealthy, and had evidently been diseased for some time. There was a very extensive bruise on the right side of the head and neck, and over the parietal bone, and another bruise, underneath which the brain was internally injured. There was another extensive bruise on the right shoulder. Her upper lip was very much swollen and bruised, and she exhibited other marks of violence. The incised wound in the arm was three-quarters of an inch long, and had penetrated the skin. The immediate cause of her death was cholera supervening the confinement of the deceased. Witness was of opinion that the premature labour of the deceased had been brought on by bodily violence. Anything tending to reduce the health of a person might produce cholera. Mr. Mallett (the clerk)--How recent was it, in your opinion, that the violence towards deceased took place prior to her death ? Mr. Popham—Four or five days, judging from the appearance of the bruises. He thought that sufficient violence had been applied on the deceased's brain to cause death, independent of the cholera —that is, if cholera had not first come on. Mary Casey, an inmate of St. Pancras workhouse, deposed that at a quarter to twelve o'clock on Thurs day morning last she was sent by the parish officers to nurse the deceased at her lodgings, No. 3, Hertford place, St. Pancras. The deceased was in bed, and had been delivered three days before. The child at that time was lying dead in the room. Before wit ness entered the house there was a crowd of persons outside, who informed her that the woman had been very much ill-treated by her husband. Witness found her covered with bruises. She died on the Friday morning following. The prisoner came home about two o'clock in the morning and kissed the deceased. She anicl, Proy, Geor c m don't kill me entirely." He then left the place, and shortly after returned, and again kissed her, when he said, " Pray, deary, will you tell nurse did I beat you or not ?" She made no answer, and nothing more was then said. He went out again, and on his return he re mained at home all night, but nothing particular transpired between him and the deceased. The pri soner was present when she died. The prisoner wished the deceased to tell her sister that he had not beat her, but she made no reply. Elizabeth Fasker, of No, 15, Hertford place, St. Pancras, was s t an di ng a t h er w i ndow, opposite where the prisoner lived, on Sunday week, in the afternoon between four and five o'clock, when she saw the pri soner beating his wife in a brutal manner, holding her down with one hand by the hair of the head on the bed while he beat her with the other. Witness ran into the street, and saw the prisoner strike her violently six or seven blows with his clenched fist. She heard the deceased scream. The prisoner sub sequently came out of the house with his son, and they went away together. Witness afterwards saw the deceased with her face and head dreadfully cut and bruised. She came from her own house, and went into No. 5, Hertford-place. Mr. COMBE—Were they heavy blows. Witness— Very heavy, indeed, your Worship. Mrs. Matilda Meadows, of No. 5, Hertford.place, proved that at five o'clock the same day the deceased came into her house with her upper lip very much cut and swollen, her left ear was also cut and swollen, and her head covered with lumps. She was in great pain. She showed her a stab in her arm, and said her husband did it; the blood was rather dry on her head. She was far advanced in pregnancy. Mary Harris gave confirmatory evidence, and added that the deceased showed her her bruises and the stab, and said, "Oh ! see what the wretch has done," meaning the prisoner. Mrs. Amelia Pearson, wife of Mr. 'William Pearson, master tailor, of No. 7, Weston street, St. Pancras, said she carried on the business of a chandler. Last Sunday week she saw the deceased crying bitterly. She showed witness her bruises ; one rather above her breast, another on her mouth, which made her lip protrude on a level with her nose. The side of her head was dreadfully bruised, and she complained very much about her body, and appeared to be in great danger ; her ear was swollen as big as a man's fist, and the bruises were all fresh. Sergeant J. Wilke, 43 S, proved the apprehension of the prisoner. The solicitor put in the following letters to prove the relation in which the complainant and defendant stood towards each other : Mnday F. "Beloved wife, and each day" mor o e beloved orenoon because abser.ce makes hearts grow fonder,—When the hope nearest our soul's desire is deferred we cling to it more and more, and though fate may want an extra share of patience, still fragrant hope bears us up against time's weary march, because our desires cannot be fulfilled. I am one of those beings who never found a difficulty I did not conquer, or any misfortune I did not recover from. I have set my heart on your happiness, and my life in your keeping. Thou bast sem more of the being that Providence has given you lately, and can better judge of its worth. Of thy good qualities I have been a silent, but quick observer, and that which I feel within is batter told by actions than by words, for there aro certain feelings words cannot define. In all my studies at home or abroad, thou art the shadow that lights my path, and as business will prevent my seeing you most of the week, I pen these hasty lines to say that instead of going to my father's this evening you must come and make tea for your husband, and spend the evening in his society, for up to Saturday next I have no evening to myself, unless I come in the day time; I therefore must have recourse to the pen to explain the nature of my sentiments to you, which otherwise I should experience in your arms. Re member from six to half-past six o'clock this evening. No denial. Till that time my hours are occupied for the continual benefit and education of our affectionate children. God bless you, dearest Bessy, and in that holy desire accept all an affectionate, Boating husband has to offer—his unqualified love and devotion to yourself. - "FRED." The second letter-commenced " My beloved Bess," and went on in a similar style to the first, detailing the writer's pecuniary difficulties. This last letter was signed "F. N. Crouch," and addressed to the com plainant as "Mrs. Crouch, Bridge-street, Hereford." Mr. Hennwicri wished to know if there was any other pruor or the comploinant and defendant having lived together as man and wife ? A gentleman named Williams came forward and said he knew that the complainant and Mr. Crouch had lived together as man and wife for a considerable period. Mr. Crouch always recognised the com plainant as his wife, and witness had often heard him call the two children his own. On one occasion, when living in Great Portland-street, the defendant Crouch had told him he wished, in case anything should happen to him, to make a settlement on Bessy, and wished to know if he would act as trustee. Wit ness consented to do so. The defendant said Bessy was his wife in the sight of God and man, and he added something about a marriage having taken place which witness could nut now recollect. Mr. HARDWICK said the evidence was sufficient to justify him in making an order on the defendant, but he could not go beyond the limit fixed by law, which was half a-crown per week for each child. An order was made at once on the absent de fendant. thet buswopr7rg,rrorel Prosecutor MARYLEBONE.

The prisoner was a journeyman carpenter, and was engaged by him on Wednesday last to mend some flooring, and he had also employed his wife as a charwoman. An attempt had been made to break open the door of the back room adjoining the one alluded to, and he found the blade of a chisel close to it, the handle of which had broken off in the endeavour to effect a forcible entry ; in that apartment a much larger sum than that which he had lost was deposited. The chisel was produced, but no one was able to identify it as belonging to the prisoner. Mason and Lockerby, police-constables of the S division, and another witness, were examined, and the evidence given by them afforded a strong presump tion that the prisoner and another person not yet in custody were the persons by whom the property was stolen. Whilst the jury were consulting in this case, • The jury who had retired returned into court, and found Hoare Guilty, but Acquitted Downer. The second jury, having consulted a short time, returned a verdict of Guilty against both the pri soners. The COMMON SERGEANT, in passing sentence, said it was evident their house was a regular nest for stolen goods. They did not live there, nor had they called any one to show who they were; and it was evident from the manner in which they were defended that there was no lack of money, and it was pretty certain they belonged to a gang. He should therefore sen tence Hoare to twelve, and Downer to ten years' transportation. Thompson, when called on for judgment, put in a long written statement, alleging that poverty and disease had driven him to act as he had, and asking mercy for the boy, whom, be said, he had seduced into the matter, having first met him in the work house.

Knowles, Great Bolton, Lanca shire, collier, Oct, 10, at eleven, at the 'Court, Man chester. Mr, BRODERIP observed, that they might have been kept all the years mentioned too long, and said, that it it could even be shown that pigs were the most elegant and fascinating animals that ever graced a neighbourhood, the law declared that they should not be kept within a certain distance of a public street or place. In his opinion, pigs were a great nuisance, and ought not to be kept in the heart of a crowded neighbourhood in this great metropolis, and he really wondered, that in the present state of fearful mer tality, any persons, from motives of private gain, could be so lost to a sense of,,duty to their neighboars as to continue to do that which was calculated to affect the public health. Mr. Gilliam having failed in showing that the pig geries were not within the prohibited distance, Mr. Rogers intimated that in the event of convic tion the pigs became forfeited, and added, that under the local Act of the trust, the defendants incurred a penalty of 51. per day for keeping pigs anywhere within its limits. This case, as well as the others, was brought to a close by the somewhat anomalous proceeding of the defendants undertaking to get rid of the pigs to " save their bacon." The summonse s were suspen d e d till S a t ur d ay, i n order to gi ve th e parish an opportunity of pro• ceeding fu r th er, removed, if the whole of the swine were not CLERKENIVEL L. George P or t er, a mean l oo ki ng f e ll ow, w h o was described in the police-sheet as a whitesmith, was charged with having violently assaulted and stabbed Mary Ann Porter, his wife, aged 34, with intent to do her some grievous bodily harm. The case excited great interest in consequence of a report which was industri ous l y c i rculated in the neighbourhood that the pris oner h ad murdered his wife, and the court was crowded to excess. Prior to the case being entered into Sergeant Wilks, 43 S, communicated that a coroner ' s i nquest had been held, an d t h e j ury re t urne d a ver di ct, "Died of c h o l era, which was acce l erated by acts of violence." Mr. It Popham, surgeon, of No. 9, Tonbridge- I Place, New-road, St. Pancras, having been sworn, deposed that on Wednesday night, the 12th inst., he saw the deceased, Mrs. Porter, twice in company of Mr. Escott, another surgeon. She was then labour ing under the effects of cholera, and had been recently confined with a child. Witness saw several bruises about various parts of her body ; the bruises were about her head, breast, and shoulder, and a stab or incised wound was on her arm. It was then healing. She said it was inflicted by her husband. She was in an extremely alive ; low state. The infant was then and he considered that the deceased's labour had been prematurely brought on. The prisoner was not present at this time. The next evening, at seven o'clock, witness was sent for, and was informed that Mrs. Porter was dy ing. lie went to her resi dence, No. a TT he found h er " - ..ettford-place, , Somers-town, where z i The prisoner ible, unable to speak. and d t h edeceased's nsensi sister were then pre sent, When witness entered the room the prisoner and the deceased's sister pulled her up on the bed by the arms, to endeavour to make her contradict reports that had been circulated in the neighbourhood that /19 had ill-treated her. She made no answer. Priso ner . —She did; she said " No. " . ILL '' Pol. i --Slav decidedly did nut make any ha 7 1 4al • The prisoner, who declared that he was innocent of the robbery, was, in order to afford time for the offi cers to inquire more into the matter, remanded till Tuesday next. WESTMINSTER. A number of pig-jobbers, living in the neighbour hood of this court, appeared to summonses obtained against them by direction of the palish authorities of St. John's, under Michael Angelo Taylor's Act, for keeping swine within 40 yards of a public thorough fare or place. Mr. James Rogers, the vestry-clerk and solicitor of St. Margaret's and St. John's, 'Westminster, attended to conduct the prosecutions, and Mr. Gilham appeared on behalf of the defendants. It having been clearly proved by Richard Gamble, inspector of nuisances for the rothill•fields trustees, in the case of a man named Taylor, which was first called on, that there were 35 pigs kept in his yard within the prohibited distance, Mr. Gilham complained, that a summons having been taken out against one of his present clients, under the Nuisances Removal Act, in which Mr. Burrell, after a personal inspection of the premises, dismissed the complaint, it being his opinion that no nuisance existed, fresh proceedings should have been taken under another Act of Parliament, against the same person and others, with a view of removing the pigs. Mr. BRODERIP said, that that case was quite dis tinct from the present complaint, which was to en force the sanitary provision s of an Act of Parliament prohibiting any person from keeping pigs within 40 yards of any thoroughfare or public place. Mr. Gilham submitted that pigs had been kept in the places now complained of for a great many years and assured the magistrate that they were in an ex tremely clean condition. INSOLVENT PETITIONERS.

It appears that Mr. Habgood had visited the neighbourhood of Lechdale on Thursday last, and was returning home between ten and eleven o'clock in the evening, in a gig, when he was e accosted by a man on the r o ad, ab ou t a mil© from t he tb town of Highworth, who requested a lift to Swindon.

Mr. COMBS told him he would be remanded, and he had better reserve what he had to say. He would be eventually committed for trial. The prisoner said his wife fell down stairs from top to bottom and pulled him after her, and that was the way she got her bruises. Mr. COMM then remanded the prisoner, with in structions to Sergeant Wilks to produce all the neces sary evidence by the next examination. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY.
