They do not resume their avocations so willingly as we anticipated. Statesmanship may probably be more efficacious in completely restoring tran quillity than the military and the police. Let us have a general amnesty, and let the soldiery be removed. Let it be remembered, that if the working classes have inflicted, they have suffered many injuries. Forgiveness must come from them, as well as their superiors. Let wliat has passed, then, be forgotten as soon as possible, except its emphatic warning. What can possibly be got by substituting terror for kindness? An •organised military force, backed by a police, and supported by the gentry, must succeed, we admit, against an unarmed mob ; but what will be gained by success ? The gallows may have its victims, but incendiarism will not therefore be extinguished, nor will pro .perty be secure. The military may prevent an outbreak, but that will not be the restoration of prosperity. Our factories may be converted int o barracks, and our manufacturing cities into camps, and the nation may become a military population, ready, like the French, for want of useful peaceful occupations, to overflow on other countries; but will that promote the national greatness, or the happiness of the people ? Trade cannot thrive under the gleam of bayo nets, and there is an immense danger at hand in trying the scheme. Across the Atlantic is an independent and free people, speaking our lan guage, who open their arms to our artisans, ma chinists, and capitalists; who promise them pro tection, and ensure them the remunerative em ployment of providing for an ever-increasing po pulation. Other countries besides America are ready to invite our skilful workmen to enrich them by their labours. Hitherto internal peace and freedom—the power of the manufacturers to regulate their own concerns, which is not pos sessed in other countries—have given a pre-emi nence to Britain ; rob her of those advantages, convert her towns into camps, and her Govern ment into a centralized military despotism, and you will lay the axe to the root of her greatness. We believe that a military Government may succeed here as in France, and as in Russia, in subduing all individual independence under it ; but is it worthy of any British statesman to re duce his country to the level of Russia and France?; We rely, however, more on the public than on any individual; and we put it calmly but earnestly to all classes, what will they gain by converting England from a workshop into a bar rack ? COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, TUESDAY.—The Queen and Prince Albert walked to Adelaide Cottage this morning, and returned through the Home Park. The Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal have been taken their usual airings, accompanied by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton. The Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, attended by Baron de Gruben, went to town by the train which left Slough at twenty minutes before ten o'clock, and returned at half-past two o'clock. In the afternoon her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Duchess of Kent, and the Duke of Saxe Coburg, rode out in a carriage and four, followed by Lady Beauvale, the Duchess of Norfolk, and the Maids of Honour, in another carriage, and attended by the gentlemen on horseback! Sir Robert Peel, after having an audience of the Queen, returned to town shortly before four o'clock. The Marquis of Ormonde has arrived to succeed Lord Byron as the Lord in Waiting on her Majesty. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady i Charlotte Dundas, Sir George Couper, La Marquise de larcourMr. and Mrs. Harcourt (St. Leonard's), and Mr. G.T. and the Hon. Mrs. Anson, will join tloe Royal dinner circle at the Castle thi s even i ng . I The Prince of Leiningen, attended by Colonel i 4 George Couper, -Bart., left Frogmore yesterday morning, where his Royal Highness had been on a visit to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and proceeded by the Great Western Railway to town, to embark on board the Princess Victoria steam-packet for Antwerp. Sir George Couper re krned to Frogmore is the afternoon. The Lord 6hancellor had an interview with Sir J. Graham at the Home-office yesterday morning. His Lordship remained at the Office a considerable time. Lord Fitzroy Somerset had an interview with Sir James Graham in the afternoon. The Attorney-General attended at the Home office during the afternoon. Sir Robert Peel left his residence in Whitehall rdens at half-past one o'clock ye3terday, to have an aLdience of her Majesty at Windsor Castle. Baron de .Moncorvo, the Portuguese Minister, b ansacted business yesterday, at the Foreign-office. Lord Stanley arrived at Bromley, on Monday, from Nei herby. NAPOLEON CONQUERED UT A FEMALE.—Napoleon lived on f r i en dly t erms w i t h t h e f am i ly o f Mr. Bal combe- in St. Helena, at a small white house, called the Briars. Miss Balcombe was a great favourite with the Emperor. Sbe was very young, and Ntpo!eon used to condescend to romp with her. However, one day she drew his ay oil, and gc# him up in a corne7, laughing at him and preventing his escape. " Now," s a id she, with g l e e, " I have th e greatest man in the world at my mercy."

Petersburg, they say, was lost in astonishment at the unparalleled magnificence displayed on the occasion. The grandest fete, they say, was a great tournament. FRANKFORT, AUG. 13.—Well informed persons of this city, affirm that there is not a word of truth in all the reports which have been circulated respecting events at St. Petersburgh. People here are vexed that the Russian papers have not made mention of the festivities. The public curiosity' will, however, be soon gratified, for we learn that a competent Ger man writer will shortly publish a circumstantial de scription of these fetes. ST. PETERSBURGH, AUG. 19.—While the King of Prussia was here the fleet assembled in the roads of Cronstadt, consisting of 18 ships of the line and 20 fri gates, together with 2 Dutch frigates and 60 smaller vessels, which presented a very fine sight, which was heightened by innumerable steamers and merchantmen which at this time always fill the roads. An Imperial ukase of the 6th of July, respecting the building of the bridge over the Neva, declares that it being impossible to defray the expenses from the ordinary resources of the city, his Majesty finds it necessary to borrow the sum required from the banks of the empire ; for the reimbursement of this loan which is to be effected in 37 years, all foreign goods imported into St. Petersburgh shall pay, in addition to the present duties, 1i per cent. The levying of this additional duty shall commence from the Ist of January, 1843, and is to be extended to all articles of import which, up to the time fixed, remain in the warehouse of the Custom-house of St. Petersburgh. 'After several weeks' uninterrupted rain, we have had, for the last few days, hot and dry weather, which is very welcome to the farmers, who can now finish their hay making. BERLIN, AUG. 16.—For some weeks we have had oppressively hot weather, which being accompanied by a dry wind, has done much injury to the fruits of the earth, and been the cause of the leaves of the trees withering and fading off as in autumn. Though our city lies so low, the springs which supplylmany mills are already dried up, and this evil is stil more seriously felt in the neighbouring villages which are situated on higher ground, On account of the scar city of water the grand review will not take place. The garrison of Potsdam returns home to-morrow, and a change in the weather is much wished for. HAMBURGH, AUG, 19.—We, too, suffer from the extreme heat.

At the three great foci of the Chartists on the Middlesex side of the river, namely, Paddington green, with Cl er k enwe ll- green and Islington-green, there was but very slight demonstration of popular feeling during yesterday evening, owing to the strict prohibitory regulations of the police. At the bridge joining Westbourne-g, reen, Paddington, the people had collected in detached groups, and were discussing with much apparent vehemence the conduct of the police in connection with what they (the speakers) contended was only an exercise of the right of public discussion. Large bodies of workmen were engaged upon the numerous new buildings which are about being erected in the neighbourhood, but they took no notice of the idlers who were lounging about. At Islington-green up to nine o'clock there was no sign of any meeting being contemplated to be held there. A number of individuals, apparently belonging to the lowest class, thronged all the avenues leading to Clerkenwell-green, but the regulations of the police being to prevent them congregating in masses upon the green, they were compelled to move from place to place, and as many as possible were prevented from returning. As an indication of the animus of the people, we may state that in almost every instance all the placards issued by the police Magistrates and Commissioners which were posted along the New road were defaced. VICTORIA THEATRE. A new and effective drama has been this week pro duced at the Victoria, written by Mr. Fitzball, en titled, The Miller's Wife. The plot is simple, and turns upon the endeavour of two kinsmen of the Lord of the Isles to obtain possession of the Earl's child, who stands between them and the inheritance. The piece opens with brave Ronald of the Isles setting out to the wars. He gives his wife and child to the care of his kinsmen Cornock and Barvooden, who swear to protect both during his absence. Violating their troth, they, as soon as the Earl has departed, attempt the lives of their charges, and actually throw the Countess into a river, but she is miraculously saved. The child is saved by the adroitness and dexterity of the miller's wife, who conceals the boy in a violoncello case. The mother and child are conveyed to the mill, where they are again attacked by their two kinsmen, but at this juncture the Earl, as luck and the dramatist would have it, returns and saves his wife and child. The piece was received with much applause, which it deserved. The scenery is excellent, and the piece altogether is put upon the stage in a very creditable manner. THE WEATHER—FOREIGN CORN.—Of the weather we have only to say that it is all that can be wished, and if it continues thus but a little longer, of which there is every prospect, there are few districts of the country in which th e s i c kl e w ill not b e i n operat i on. In Limerick and Waterford the holders of foreign corn are paying the duty —in the latter, indeed, all that was in bond has been released. In our own city, too, the duty has been paying, though not in large quantities. The quantity entered during the week ended 6th Aug. was in round numbers 1,380 quarters ; week ended 13th August (Sa turday), 2,670 quarters. On Monday duty was paid on 1,142 quarters ; on Tuesday, on 930 quarters. The quantity now in warehouse is 30,000 quarters, the duty on which (amounting, at Bs. a quarter, to 12,0001.) will probably be paid by Saturday, or soon after.—Cork Paper. CURE OF CHOLERA BY LARGE DOSES OF CALOMEL. —On the 10th instant, a man, who had been only a few days in Whitecross-street prison, was taken alarmingly ill in the night with spasmodic cholera. He was attended by Mr. Wadd, the able surgeon of the building, who ad ministered large doses of calomel every hour with suc cess. On the fourth day the patient was out of danger. and he is now fast recovering his strength. Nearly one ounce of calomel was administered within the first 24 hours, after the plan of Mr. Charles Bennet at Bethnal green workhouse in 1831. Another case occurred in private practice immediately afterwards to Mr. Wadd with equal success. A collapse had taken place, and there appeared all the s y m pt o ms of approaching dissolu tion, but the calomel stopped the frightfnl Fogress of the disorder, and the patient is rapidly recovering. FIRE AT SALISBURY.--At eight o'clock on Satur day evening a very :alarming fire broke out in the ex tensive malting premises belonging to Messrs. Roe and Co., at Pain's-hill, in this city. Shortly after the flames gained a complete ascendancy of the'whole building. At twenty minutes past nine o'clock the roof of the entire building fell in, and illuminated the whole city. At this time great fears were entertained for the safety of the Dolphin Inn, which adjoins the scene of the con flagration. At one o'clock the scene was appalling, for at this time the burning element had ignited some back cellarage ; but shortly after the communication was cut off, and the roofs of three more houses fell in with a dreadful crash. The progress hence was happily stopped. Among the sufferers are Messrs. Roe and Co. ; the Merridew family; Cooper, a labourer ; Mr. Giddons, brewer ; Mr. Kitto, clerk to collector of excise ; Mr. Hiscocks, builder ; Mr. Coombs, cabinet maker ; Mr. Andrews, grocer ; Mr. Naish, corn-dealer; Mr. Conway, publican ; Mr. Wheeler, book-keeper ; Mr. Neate, and many others. It is very singular that this is the identical spot where the wretched woman Easter murdered her children on the 3d of August last. DUNDEE.—The people of Dundee, and more par ticularly the auehorities, have been in a very excited state this week, owing to the fearful nature of the ac counts received from England and some parts of Scot land, and the alarming prospect of matters in our own town. Summonses have been issued to a considerable number of individuals, to appear and be sworn in as special constables ; and a meeting of the Commissioners of Police was called by order of the Provost last night when they were directed to hold themselves in readi ness to summon out the constables at any time to a proper rendezvous, there to await the orders of the Ma gistrates. Danger is apprehended ; and than the pre sent Magistrates of Dundee we believe there are few in it worse qualified to avert the clanger.—Dundee Chronicle. OTTER HUNTING.—On Wednesday last, the Hon. Grantley Berkeley's otter-hounds met at the residence of Mr. HaHatt, at Philiols, near Wareham, and drew the adjacent streams for an otter. Three of these animals were quickly found, who afforded a great Crest to the lovers of sport in that vicinity, it being a chase now seldom to be witnessed, though of very ancient origin. The pack consisted of some fine old fox-hounds from Berkeley Castle, and some terriers, all of whom have been entered at the sport by Mr. Berkeley, whd hunts his hounds himself.. Two df the otters were killed by the hounds in the course of-the day, one of which held the pack in full pursuit - for nearly four hours, Mr. Ber keley sharing their work with them is the river as well as on the land. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 24, 1842. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Bristol, August 22. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN came into this city and opened the Commissions on Saturday. There are about 60 causes, which is a larger entry than usual for Bristol. Business commenced this morning, when 15 or 16 undefended causes were rapidly disposed of. ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GAR DENS. FIRE at the CASTLE of ST. ANGELO. Visitors are respectfully informed that there will be no ces sation of the usual amusements in consequence of the Con flagration of las: night. and the Girandola will be exhibited with even increased splendour to-morrow evening (Thursday). character assumed by M. TIM M. The Goverrment journals, and his own paper the Constitutionnel, de fend his change of politics on the ground of well-ma tured conviction, while the ultra-Liberal papers cha racterise it as a wilful and selfish desertion of his party. The Constitutionnel thus refers to the matter : M. Thiers has no idea of assuming power, and he is far from thinking of it either for himself or his friends. All who are acquainted with the present situation of affairs will understand this declaration. M. Thiers adopted his resolution from higher and deeper reasons ; for he well remembered that in the year 1830, when the question of the dynasty was agitated anew, he renewed his choice in favour of the constitutional monarchy, and rejected the counter-revolution and the republic. But we expected these interpretations and calumnies from the extreme parties ; for to ask them to recognise in M. Thiers a defender faithful, devoted, and convinced of the value. of the institutions of 1830—to expect the Legi timists to praise M. Thiers for having exerted his influ ence in consolidating the dynasty—or to think that the Radicals would congratulate him for preserving the minority of the young King from the dangers that might threaten it, would be to demand from both parties too much disinterestedness and self-denial. These bursts of anger, these accusations and violence on the part of the extreme parties, neither astonish nor irritate us. As to the Deputies of the Dynastic Left, who are to be reckoned among the 94 votes of Saturday's minority, God forbid that we should be unjust towards them. We believe them to be truly dynastic and constitutional. We conjure them, therefore, to stop short on the de clivity down which the extreme parties desire to draw them, and not to allow themselves to be guided by hos tile minorities, who require involuntary allies and pro tectors. By far the greater number of the Deputies have already left Paris. M. Thiers started on Monday evening for Switzerland, Baden, and Prussia. The following is the only intelligence of the slight est importance The Moniteur of the 22d of August, has no official part. The Chamber of Peers will meet to-day to receive the Regency Bill, which was passed on Saturday, by the Chamber of Deputies. The Duke of Nemours will be twenty-eight years of age on the 25th of October next. The Count de Paris, who has become the heir-ap parent to the throne, will enter into his fifth year on the 25th of thiM month. His mother was twenty-eight years of age, on the 24th of January last.—Le Constetutzonnet IMPORTANT NEWS FROM THE RIVER PLATA. Mr. Bellemare, delegate of the French of La Plata, has re ceived from Monte Video, news which he thinks it his duty immediately to make known. The great and im minent dangers which threaten the French inhabitants of that country, will doubtless excite, he says, the sym pathy of the country. Be hopes that the Chambers and the Ministry will not remain indifferent to so many sufferings. " MONTE VIDEO. JUNE 7, 1842.—The army, or rather the hordes of Row, are again advancing upon us. The invasion of our republic by sea and land is imminent. Our city has just been declared in a state of siege. Ali able-bodied men, from the age of 40 to 50 years, are or dered to take arms, and immediate banishruent is decreed against all those who shall evade this order, of which 1 send you an authentic copy. " Poreigners are at-milli. The English merchants take arms, and make their clerks do the same. They have already 150 volunteers. This morning there were al ready 2,000 Frenchmen entered on the list. Our new Consul, M. Pichon, has just received his exequator; but the following is a fact of the highest im portance. The Government has just transmitted a note to the Consular agents, to inform them that as soon as the invading army shall touch the territory of the republic, the Government will be obliged to destroy without distinction, all the establishments in the country,* in order to place a desert between the city and the enemy. " These events will paralyse commerce, and render all returns impossible. " The danger is immense to us Frenchmen, and I as sure you that we regret the part which France is made to act in this abominable work of destruction. May God protect us." M. Bellemare concludes his communication in the fol lowing terms : " I must refrain from all comments, and especially from all reproaches. I shall content myself with earnestly re peating the appeal which I lately made. to the Chambers in favour of the population of La Plata." We, who have no reason to keep silence, will remind our readers that the treaty with Roses, from which these consequences are derived, is one of the benefits of M. Thiers.—Le Commerce, Aug. 22. * The value of the property belonging to foreigners which is threatened by this decree is immense. ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.

ILLUMINATION of St. PETER'S at NINE precisely. frb cRP--. - , ,§int. iptronblibrition SUN OFFICE Three o'Clock The announcement of her MAJESTY'S intention to visit Scotland, has, we perceive, created the most enthusiastic feelings of delight throughout the length and breadth of that country. The Highland Chiefs are all on the alert, and in the metropolis and its environs, rejoicings are expected to take place on the most imposing scale. "In order the more effectually to manifest the universal national feelings on this happy and auspicious occasion," says the Caledonian Mercury, "it has been suggested, and is strongly re commended, that large fires be lighted, not only on the top of Arthur's Seat, but on other prominent hills within sight of Edinburgh, and also on some of the highest summits along the southern shore of Fife. Such a manifestation will mark the affection and cor diality with which her MAJESTY is universally wel comed in Scotland." This spectacle will doubtless be a magnificent one, but far more impressive will be the heart-felt, electrifying bursts of loyalty which will accompany the QUEEN at every step of her progress through her Scottish dominions. There will be no cold, forced homage —no showy parade of respect—no gew gaw, flaunting state-pageant s, to gratify—as on a former memorable occasion—a vain monarch's love of ex ternal pomp and splendour ; the national heart will prompt the national rejoicings, and where this is the case, gorgeous Court ceremonials may well be dis pensed with. When GEORGE the FOURTH visited Scotland, he did it, apparently, quite as much to gratify his own love of holiday display, as to receive the homage of his northern subjects, and accordingly everything was sacrificed to effect ; there were re views, levees, and public processions by day ; state balls, state-dinners, and state ceremonials of all sorts by night; the eye was dazzled, the head NNW bewildered, but the heart was not touched ; there. was more of the show 'of loyalty, than the thing itself; Scotland did her duty, but no more ; she may have reverenced the mo narch, but she could scarcely have entertained any strong affection for the man ; for the Scotch, gene rally speaking, are a moral, prudent, sagacious, and conscientious people, who have a quick eye to con duct, and respect the decencies of society; and it is hardly possible that their hearts could have warmed towards a man whose conduct throughout his career was marked by reckless selfishness and extra vagance; who violated all the proprieties of domestic life; who, devoid of principle himself, disbelieved its existence in others, and was influenced solely by the caprice of the moment; who was a bad son—a bad husbanda bad father—who abandoned in turn every friend that trusted him a word, who commenced his career as a riotous profligate, and terminated it as a sullen, secluded egotist. Scotland, we repeat, could scarcely have loved such a man ; it was to his kingly office, not to himself, that she paid the tribute of her respect ; but in the present in stance, it is the woman, not less than the QUEEN, that claims her love, reverence, and admiration. Ir reproachable in her conduct as a wife and mother, in dulgent and considerate as a mistress, and in her cha racter of Sovereign sincerely devoted to the welfare of her subjects, Queen 'VICTORIA deserves, and will receive,every mark of heart-felt affection and veneration that it is in the power of Scotland to bestow. And here, while alluding to the Royal Visit, we cannot but call to mind the memory of that great and good man, whose loss his country—and we may add, the whole empire—still deplores. If GEORGE the FOURTH'S visit to Edinburgh be yet remembered with interest, it is so, chiefly in consequence of Sir WALTER SCOTT'S connexion with it. How would this illustrious novelist have rejoiced in the opportunity of a second time wel coming his Sovereign to Scotland! Hundreds of his countrymen, remembering his enthusiasm on the former occasion, will miss him, when the QUEEN is receiving the congratulations of her subjects at Holy rood, and feel a momentary chill at their hearts, even in the midst of the general rejoicings. Several of the daily papers this morning, advert to the unwarrantable and dangerous conduct of the police at Kennington-common, on Monday. It appears that owing to the inc orrec t accounts pu bli s h ed in some of these journals, numerous communica tions have been forwarded to them, complaining of the unnecessary violence used by that body during the late disturbances, and stating facts which fell under the observation of the writers. One paper refuses to expose the excesses committed by that force, without the security of personal authen tication; a second acknowledges the receipt of nu merous letters on the subject, but regrets that the press of matter prevents their publication ; and a third, the Herald, very properly gives a well-written letter, de scribing the wanton and cruel attack made upon a peaceful and unarmed multitude. This letter is written by a Conservative correspondent, and, as it appears in a journal of the same character, it ought to make some impression on our Conservative Home Secretary. As for the Commissioners of Police, we put them entirely out of the question. Their lieutenants, or whatever other new-fangled names they may assume, would not have conducted themselves as they did during the late disgraceful scenes, unless they had good reason to believe that they would be backed by their superiors. The constitution of the force altogether is of a military character, one of the Commissioners holds the rank of Colonel in the army, many of those under him have, from long practice, ac quired military habits, and are, therefore, the most unfit persons in the world to act against a multitude without the directions of the civil authorities. The military cannot attack the people until the Riot Act is read, and distinct orders are given by a Justice of the Peace. What right, therefore, has this new force, in defiance of the principles of the Constitution, and armed as they are with deadly weapons, to attack a pro miscuous multitude, without similar precautions for the safety of human life ? We earnestly call the attention of Sir JAMES GRAHAM to this painful sub ject, and confidently trust that he will judge of the pro ceedings of Monday according to the real merits of each case, and not from the reports and insinuations of interested parties. We were told that strict in junctions had been issued from the Home-office, com manding the police to use every possible forbearance, and not to interfere unless a breach of the peace was seriously contemplated. Now, all accounts agree that there was no violence, nor any fear of violence, on the part of the people, and that if the speakers had been allowed to finish their harangues, the day would have passed over, as at the meeting in Clerkenwell-green, with out the slightest disturbance. We, therefore, leave the Home Secretary to judge whether his intentions have been faithfully carried out. Of this, however, he may rest certain, that if he wishes this new force to be useful, he must keep it under proper control, and not leave the ma nagement to military officers, always but too much inclined to treat the people with contempt. IVe are anxious to see order preserved and all acts of violence repressed, and for these very reasons we de nounce the late vi o l ent procee di ng s. We havejust received an account of an outrage committed at the Zoological Gardens last evening by one of the In spectors who figured on Kennington-common, but the attack appesis so mad and unjust:fmble, that we refrain from publishing the account till we have fully ascertained the particulars. We have received the Paris Papers of Monday, which are chiefly filled with _criticisms on the new CIVIL SIDE.-COLLINS V. TOGIIILL. This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant for the seduction of the plaintiff's daughter. Mr. Sergeant Bompas and Mr. J. Smith were for the plaintiff; Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Stone for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS opened the case, by stating that the defendant had commenced his solicitations of the plaintiff's daughter so far back as six years ago, when she was only fourteen years of age. She was then, it was said, a servant at Mrs. Hosier's, who kept a lodging-house, where the plaintiff and a lady that was called his wife came to live. Of this conduct on the part of the defendant, the daughter informed her parents, and she was then removed from Mrs. Hosier's. She afterwards went into other situations, then learnt the trade of shoe-binding, then went into service again, and for some time past had worked at the trade she had learned at her father's house, who is a journeyman shoe-maker, residing in this city. During all this time, the defendant was represented to have frequently met her, and solicited her to come to his counting-house, he being a merchant, and having a counting-house on the quay. To these soli citations she at length yielded, and then it was she sur rendered to the defendant's wishes. This intercourse was kept up for nearly three years, and the result was a child, which was born some time in the last month. Emma Collins, on being called, confirmed the state ment that had been made by the Learned Sergeant in opening the case. But upon cross-examination she admitted that the amount of the plaintiff's conduct to her at Mrs. Hosier's was that he kissed her two or three times, and told her to keep the change of the money that had been given her to purchase beer. She also admitted that the defendant had simply asked her when he had met her in the street to meet him, and there did not appear in the defendant's conduct to have been any arts made use of to induce the girl to comply with his wishes. But the most unfortunate admission for the plaintiff's case was that the defendant was not the first person whom she had known intimately. She admitted that a young man, under promise of mar riage, had gained possession of her six months before the defendant did. The father had also said, when he had seen the defendant after the birth of the child, that there was no ground to charge him with the seduction of his daughter. The defendant had offered to pay the expenses and keep the child. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN suggested, that as there could be no pretence in this case to charge the de fendant with the seduction of the girl, and as those terms had been offered, it would be better to agree upon what the expenses were, and take a verdict ac cordingly. The Learned Counsel, however, could not agree upon the terms, and the consequence was that Mr. Cockburn addressed the Jury for the defendant, who, after hearing the remarks of the Learned Judge upon the case, returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, 101. Twenty-three causes have been got rid of to-day, so that it is very probable that the whole of the cause list will be finished before the end ®f this week. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—York, August 22 CROWN SlDE—(Before Mr. Justice AIAuLE, Nicodemus Sharp was indicted for maliciously in , juring, with intent to render useless, a certain engine employed in the manufacture of cotton, and belong ing to a Mr. Greenwood at Horton, near Bradford. Mr. Wilkins, Mr. Pashley, and Mr. Pickering conducted the prosecution ; and Sir G. Lewin and Mr. Hall the defence. The prisoner had for some years been in the employ of the prosecutor, as tender of a steam-engine, at a salary of 28s. a week, and in consequence of some im• provement in the working of the engine suggested by him, his wages were raised to 325. a week. The power of the engine was let out to various persons. On Wednesday, the 27th of April, some of them com plained that the engine was not doing its work properly, on which the prosecutor went to the engine house, when he found that the prisoner had gone out for the day, leaving a lad to attend to thefires. The steam was found to be up to a sufficient pressure, but still the engine did not go properly on ; the regular rate being 19 strokes per minute, while it did not make more than 14 or 15. No cause of the defect could be found. The next day a regular engineer from the works of the engine builder attended, but during the whole day was unable to detect the cause. He continued his observations on Friday, and at length his attention was attracted by a loose stone in a wall near the floor, beneath which the condenser was placed; on removing it he found a piece of a gas pipe laid from the wall to the condenser, which had been bored through to introduce it. The other end extended through the wall and had a small valve opening in wards, by which means a small quantity of air was admitted at every stroke of the engine and the con densation rendered imperfect. On the pipe being closed the engine instantly resumed its usual rate of working. The prisoner did not return for some days, but was then taken into custody. On his way to prison he told the constable that in case he got over this job he would never belong to a union again. On the close of the case for the. prosecution several objections were taken to the indictment. It was de scribed as an engine used in the manufacture of wool len goods and cotton warps, when it turned out in proof that the mixture of cotton and wool in the ma nufacture was not of the kind described. Other ob- ' jections existed, but the Judge deeming that sufficient the others were not gone into, and the prisoner was acquitted. WOOLWICH-TUESDAY. HER MAJESTY'S EMBARKATION AT WOOLWICH.

Fuchs, made this year from the produce of his own vineyard ;it was very excellent. In general we expect that the vintage will be of a superior quality, for the weather which we have had for some weeks past has con tributed to the early ripening of the grape. We remem ber that in the remarkable year 1811, the first wine was tried a week later, and this was considered something very extraordinary. Frankfort, August 15.—The spe culators in our wine districts, expecting a very produc tive'year, flattered themselves that the meeting of the Deputies of the Customs' Union at Stutgard would com ply with their wishes expressed in a petition, and impose a very heavy duty on the importation of French wines. We learn, however, that this petition has not had the desired effect, the Deputies being resolved not to enter upon a course that might lead to prohibition and repri sals, the consequences of which would be very injurious. His Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen, Sir Augustus Clifford and family, Sir Francis Palgrave, Dr. Phillimore, Mr. Hilliard. United States' Charge d'Affaires at Brussels, and many other passengers, left the St. Katharine's Wharf, Tower, yesterday morning, by the Princess Victoria, steamer, for Antwerp and the Rhine. The same company's ship Bruges, arrived at the Wharf, yesterday, after a passage of only 13 hours. Prince Doria of Rome came passenger by her. FRAUDS IN THE CORN-TRADE.--Much attention has been of late directed to the numerous and palpable inaccuracies which have been apparent in the corn re turns transmitted to the Inspector at Mark-lane, where the trade has, it is well known, a great influence upon the markets throughout the kingdom. It appears that in London on the 4th ult., an advance of from ls. to 2s. per quarter took place in the prices of wheat, and the following average far the kingdom was 645. ld. The next market day an abatement of quite 2s. was sub mitted to in prices in almost the whole of our markets, and yet the weekly return was 655. Bd.! The following week quotations declined 3s. to 6s. per quarter, yet the declared average for Saturday, the 23d ult., was 655. 4d. Pursuing the inquiry a week further, we find that wheat fell on Monday, July 25, from ls. to 25., yet the average declared was 635. 9d. On this day se'nnight, wheat was is. to 3s. cheaper, and the last average was 61s. 3d. So that it will be seen, notwithstanding the actual prices have fallen 145., the average has only de clieed 4s. sd. per quarter. It may be said that an im provement in the condition of the secondary and inferior runs has been productive of this state of things ; but we have to state that the very reverse has been the case, more out-of-quality sorts having been brought forward than for some time past. It is satisfactory, however, to learn that these facts have been brought under the notice of the Government, who have expunged several of the returns made to them, and are using every means to punish the offending parties.—Newcastle Journal.

Under any circumstances such an event would have to be regretted, but more so in the present instance, when the relative situation of the parties is considered. These men, descendants of the original Dutch colo nists, feeling dissatisfied with our rule, removed and located themselves in another district, and set all au thority at defiance, claiming to be independent, upon the ground that having first settled upon the land, though British territory, they thereby obtained an exclusive right to it. Although every privilege was offered them, both by the home and colonial governments, they deter mined to act on the defensive; and now, in the first encounter, they have been successful. The improvement in commercial affairs which the intelligence during the last few months has noticed, still continued ; and as labourers became more nume rous, so it would appear the prospects of the colonists brightened. The Africans who had arrived were found to be extremely useful and willing, but the want of European emigrants was still ' much felt. The intelligence and superior - strength of these latter rendering them far more valuable assistants than the former, in consequence of its being unnecessary to teach them every thing, whereby much time was lost, by the necessity of a constant supervision.

(Before Lord ABINGER, Mr. Justice WILLIAMS, and Mr. Baron Ronra.) THE ALLEGED ROBBERY OF THE LATE MARQUIS OF HERTFORD BY HIS VALET.—Nicolas Suisse, 58, was indicted with stealing securities in the French funds to the amount of nearly 100,0001., the property of the late Marquis of Herttbrd, whose valet he had been for upwards of twenty years. There were four indictments against the prisoner, but the one on which he was first tried charged him with stealing, and appropriating to his own use, the proceeds of certain French coupons of the value of 1,300/. and upwards. Mr. Kelly, Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. Phillips were counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Chambers, and Mr. James defended the prisoner. The prisoner, who is a very gentlemanly-man in appearance, on being arraigned, answered in a firm voice that he was Nof guilty. Mr. KELLY then proceeded to address the Jury on behalf of the prosecution. He said that the present was one of several indictments which the executors of the late Marquis of 'Hertford had considered their duty to prefer against the prisoner at the bar, by which they charged him with having feloniously stolen a quantity of securities in the I rench funds of very considerable value. As there was reason to believe that the prisoner had possessed himself of those securities at different times, and as by law one offence only could be included in one indictment, it had become necessary to prefer four indictments. He should not feel it necessary on the present occasion to occupy the time of the Jury in preliminary observa tions. The case was one demanding particular atten tion from the Jury, and the necessity for that atten tion was increased by the fact that the prisoner at the bar was a foreigner. He would now, without further preface, state the circumstances of the case to the Jury. the prisoner at the bar, Nicolas Suisse, had been for up wards of twenty years the valet and principal personal attendant on the late Marquis of Hertford, who had passed the greater part of almost every year of his life since 1820, on the Continent ; and who had tra velled a good deal through France, Italy, and other countries. In those travels he had been constantly attended by the prisoner, who had been recommended to the late Marquis, by his son, the present one. The pris • oner had made himself extremely serviceable to the late Marquis, and by doing so had succeeded in gaining his entire confidence ; and for the last few years of his life had been almost his sole personal attendant, and had paid all the bills and expenses in curred by the Marquis. For doing this he had a salary from the Marquis of about 1201. a year, together with many perquisites, which rendered his situation a -very valuable one. In the year 1840, the Mar quis had an attack of paralysis, by which hi 3 health was considerably impaired, and from that time till his death he never enjoyed perfect health, and particularly during the last three months . of his life, when both his mental and bodily faculties were so impaired that he had great difficulty of utterance, and was totally incapable of attending to his own affairs or interests. In 1841 the Marquis returned from Paris to London, and resided in his house in Park-lane. For the last two months of his existence the prisoner had been constantly with him, and was present when he expired on the Ist of March. The prisoner remained in England some time after the Marquis's death, but towards the end of March he seemed to show an anxiety to go to the Continent, and on the 4th of April he went to Messrs. W ells, Capron, and Co., the solicitors to the executors of the late Marquis, stated that he had obtained his passport, and entreated them to prevail on the executors to let him go. As, however, the prisoner had been in the habit of disbursing a great deal of money for the late Mar quis, and as he had not made u p hi s accoun t s , and as he had received several thousand pounds, for which be had not accounted, the executors refused his re quest. At another interview with one of the firm of Wells and Cassam, he renewed his wish to go to the Continent, made certain repreeentations with mpect to large sums he had received, stated that he w ant ": money from the executors, and that he w as , fact then living on borrowed money , NS „II on the other hand it would be clearly proved he Ice s in possession of many thousand pounds. From the cumstances that had come to the knowledge of th a e executors, their suspicions were aroused that he he appropriated money belonging to the Marquis to his, own use. Inquiry was instituted ; papers were found. in the possession of the prisoner relating to c ertain French securities, which it was supposed belonged to the late Marquis ; they led to further inquiry ,the result of which showed that the late Marquis had bee; possessed of French securities amounting to upwalt,, 130,0001. and that of those securities only 30,0001. was forthcoming. The inquiry w as then prosecuted further, and in the result the executors felt satisfied that the prisoner at the bar had p ossessed himself of this immense amount, and being thus a non , vinced, they had instituted the present prosecutio He would now state the evidence it was in t e nded , to e bring before the Jury in order to bring home t;id charge to the prisoner • from that evidence it wattAe appear that the Marquis of Hertford tug various purchases in the French funds in the ye:trio 1836, 1837, and 1838, that during that time be P l „ ‘a purchases to the extent of 130,0001., and that to'" purchases consisted of Inscriptions of Rentes , or 101; nuities, and, as he had said before, of those karat% purchases only about 30,000/. was forthcoming. 'of was the habit of the late Marquis, who waste wt. immense fortune, and who, notwithstanding pie. immense in which he lived, was enabled to make t",; t i large purchases in the French funds, when he we,n,` money, to cut off one of the coupons Irv; the inscriptions from time to time, and send them 4 his bankers, either in London or Paris, wherever the might be, who cashed them for him, and placed thel to his credit. Being in possession of this larg e am obit of French stock, the late Marquis returned to Eoi; land in 1841, the last time he had received molV: ba t these coupons being at Paris in September 0 1 "6 0 1, year. Upon the death of the Marquis, only 30•° of the large amount he had adverted to could be discovered, that amount was placed in the 'ls of Messrs. Coutts and Co., and the exe cutors o r' ' , charged the prisoner with appropriating the remer o . der to his own use. The Learned Counsel tlien,Pid ceeded to give an outline of the evidence he s'i-n, bring forward, and concluded by expressing hi s cc :4 fident opinion that upon that evidence the Jury over;- think themselves justified in convicting the p ri ce but at the same time observing that if on that evidenri, they entertained any doubt as to the guilt of dil l. soner, they were bound to give him the benefit 'dress The Learned Gentleman having finished his a called the following witnesses : Mr. Charles Mallet examined by Mr. Bor.1“ 14 the am a banker in Paris.
