FRANCE. The promotion of Jerome Bonaparte, the oldest general officer in the army, to the dignity of Marshal of France, is considered highly probable. The President of the Republic drove along the Boulevards on Sunday "morning, exactly at a quarter to nine o'clock, accompanied by the Minister of Public Works and his orderly officers, and attended by a troop of Cuirassiers, on his way to the Paris and Lyons Railroad station. He proceeds to inaugurate the section at Sens. He was received, as he passed along the Boulevards, with the greatest respect, the people of every class taking off their hats and sa luting him. Great preparations were made to receive him, and the town of Sens will entertain him at a banquet to which 150 persons have been invited. The Moniteur, in a communicated article, declares that it is false that the propositions of the French Government have been rejected at the conference of Gaeta, as some journals had stated. The Constitutionnel publishes a dispatch addressed by Count Nesselrode to the Russian Minister at Paris, as well as to all other Russian Ministers abroad, an nouncing that as the task of the Russian troops is concluded by the pacification of Hungary, they will be withdrawn from that territory and re-enter the Russian frontiers. The Archbishop of Toulouse has init . ilishe 1 the following letter in the Ami de la Religion, censuring severely M. Duguerry, cure of the Madeleine, for the part he took in the proceedings of the Peace Congress, and for the expressions he made use of in his speech, namely, that the Gospel was nothing more than human reason restored and extended : " Toulouse, Sept. 2. " Sir,—The proceedings in the Peace Congress at Paris, and the part acted on the occasion by members of the clergy, have deeply afflicted me. I believe my colleagues in the episcopacy must have experienced a similar feeling. But are we to confine ourselves to deploring that participation, and can we allow what was done and said there to pass over, without any protest ? Can we, for instance, help censuring the assertion put forward by one of the first parish priests of the capital, that the Gospel is only human reason restored and extended?' What is then to become of positive revealed facts? I appeal against such an assertion to all enlightened clergymen, to the whole episcopacy, and, in particular, to the Supreme Chief of the Catholic Church, the suc cessor of him to whom Jesus Christ said,—'Et to aliquando conversus confirms fratres tuos.' I re quest you, Sir, to insert this letter in the next number of the Ami de la Religion. I can have no rest until the publication of my protest; and it is in your journal it should naturally appear." HUNGARY: The late rumours of M. Kossuth having made his escape to Constantinople are confirmed by the last Germ an papers, which, however, do not give any particulars of the date and manner of his flight. From the news contained in the German papers, it appears that the garrison of Comoro are resolved to hold the fortress against the Austrian armies. That garrison amounts to 20,000 men, and further levies are still being pressed from the neighbouring districts. The fortress is victualled for many months. BAVARIA. It is expected that the Bavarian Chambers will be opened by the King in person. Most of the Deputies are already assembled at Munich, alth3ugh the day of meeting is not yet fixed. Tranquillity is so complete in this capital that the garrison has been reduced from 8,000 men to 5,000. RUSSIA. The Warsaw papers contain the following address of the Emperor of Russia to the army : " My children!—God has vouchsafed to bless your zeal, your manly bravery, and your untiring perse verance amidst the greatest difficulties. My children, you did your duty; and 10, the insurrection is quelled. Wherever the enemy dared to oppose you, you over came them, and following at the heels of the fugitives, you brought about an event of rare occurenco, viz., the enemy's whole army surrendered to you, and sub mitted, unconditionally, to our will. Within two months we have either captured or taken by surrender 150 standards and 400 pieces of artillery, while above 80,000 insurgents have laid down their arms. Honour and glory to you! Honour and glory to your victorious leader! You have again, as you always do, proved yourselves worthy of the name of the victorious army of all the Russias. My thanks to you all and each of you. lam satisfied with you! lam proud of you! " Warsaw, August 22." "NicoLAus. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LANCASTER AND PRESTON. The annual meeting of this company was held at Lancaster on Thursday, Mr. Bushell in the chair The secretary read the report, which stated that the differences with the canal company with reference to the lease were terminated. The main portion of the rent had been paid, and by the arrangement with the Lancaster and Carlisle Company the fair value of their property was secured. The balance from revenue applicable to dividends amounted to 19,619/. The chairman of this company had taken his seat at the board of the Lancaster and Carlisle Company The directors recommended the reduction previous to May next of the annuity of 4,8751., secured to the canal company. The capital account showed that 465,3311. had been expended on the undertaking. The revenue account to the Ist of August showed that 20,0291. had been re ce i ve d, and 4101. expen d e d , leav ing a balance of 19,6191. The CHAIRMAN said, on referring to the revenue account, they would find that there was an actual balance to their credit of 19,6191. 3s. This was the balance of revenue received ; but it appeared, on the other hand, that a final settlement had not been made with the canal company (the late lessees of the line). Some demands had been made upon them by the canal company, and some time would elapse before these demands could be adjusted. The di. rectors had thought it advisable in the present in stance to recommend a dividend of 3453. sd. on the whole shares, 235. 6d. on the three-quarter shares, and Vs. 4d. on the quarter shares. lie believed these figures constituted, as near as practicable, the proportion of their last dividend, and would, perhaps, give them a dividend at the same rate for the one year and two months. With regard to the capital account, they would find it was in debt. 149/. 7s. ld., which had been paid out of the revenue account, and would have to be reimbursed out of the sale of the coin pany's working stock, and then added to that account. With regard to the reduction of the annuity to the canal company, it was desirable this should be done while it could be effected on reasonable terms. Up to the month of May next the affair might be ar ranged for 5,000/. less than after that time. He should therefore advise the raising of the necessary amount for the reduction of that annuity.—(llear.) Ile concluded with moving that the report be received and adopted. Mr. HADDEN seconded the motion. Dr. COWAN believed the miscellaneous property the canal company received from them in 1842 was valued at 40,0001., and that it was agreed that at the end of the lease it should be revalued and the differ• ence made good, on whichever side it might be. He was anxious to call the attention of the directors to this point. The CHAIRMAN said the directors were quite cog nizant of the facts, and would not lose sight of them Dr. COWAN then adverted to the capital account, and gave it as his opinion that it ought to be closed at once, and that the 1,300 Carlisle shares sold by the directors should have been aided to the capital account. A sum of 47,0001. or 48,0001. would have to be raised to pay off the debt to the canal company:. Now, the best and easiest way of doing this, in his opinion, would be to call up 61. a shire on the three-quarter shares, and 21. a share on the whole shares. There would be a legal difficulty, he understood, in tho way, but this might be got over by going to Parliament before May. The CHAIRMAN entered into explanations to show that the difficulty of closing the capital account was owing to the disputed titles to some land purchased for the company's use, and the parties selling it hiving since deceased. He would not pledge himself t'a the shareholders that the capital account should not exceed 467,0001., but from what he knew of the out standing accounts he did not think that sum would be exceeded. As to calling up 61. on the three-quar ter shares, and 21. on the whole shares, Dr. Cowan was right in saying there would be a legal difficulty, and one which he (the chairman) was not certain could be got over by Act of Parliament. He did not think Parliament would allow them to call 61. on shares which were created for the payment of 30,000/. out of th e 150 , 0 00 1 . author i sed to be borrowed by the company under their original Acts. After some further conversation of no moment, the report was put in the usual form and carried by ac clamation. Mr. MAXSTED then moved that a dividend, in the ratio suggested by the directors, u be declared, and th e E. Moss, be White ous motion was second e d and passed s The CHAIRMAN proposed thiatslarilb.e side, banker, and Mr. W. appointed a u • ditors, at a salary of 51. a year each. Mr. .Mooltn seconded the motion.—Carried by acclamation. Mr. %VILLAIN' next moved a resolution for remune rating the directors. Eventually the sum of 200 guineas was agreed to be placed at the disposal of the board. Mr. Hodgson, M.Y. for Carlisle, was unanimously appointed a director in the place of Mr. Coulston. On the motion of Mr. HODGSON, 400/. was voted to Mr. Bushell, the chairman, and Mr. W. Jackson, the deputy-chairman, of the board, as a slight token of the esteem of the shareholders for their able extrica tion of the company from its difficulties. The proceedings terminated with a vote: of thanks 1 to the Chairman. COCKERMOUTH AND WORKINGTON. A special meeting of this company was held on Wednesday at Cockermeuth ; Mr. J. W. Fletcher in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the secretary would read the resolutions they had to submit to the meeting. Mr. JACOB read the resolutions, which were to the effect that it was expedient to raise 25,000/. by the issue of 3,761 preference shares of 61. 13s. 4d. each, with a guarantee of five per cent., the said shares to be offered, in the first instance, to the holders of the original sharer, and, if declined, to those who might be induced to take them up ; and authorizing i the di rectors to borrow 8,300/., on the best terms t could be obtained. The CHAIRMAN said that some of the shareholders were of opinion that the money might be got for less than five per cent., but on the whole the directors thought it better to offer five per cent. The money was wanted for the pursose of releasing the directors from their personal liabilities, entered into on behalf of the company. The Rev. S. SHERWEN expressed his dissatisfaction at the conduct of the directors, and the prospects of the company. They proposed making a branch to Bridgefoot for the private convenience of a certain coal proprietor, the chairman of the company. For his part he would never sanction such an objectionable measure. A SHAREHOLDER remarked, that as they were bor rowing money at 4 per cent., he thought they ought not to guarantee more than 41 per cent. Mr. STEEL said the directors of the Whitehaven Railway had guaranteed E per cent. The resolutions were then adopted. Mr. S. SHERWEN and other shareholders made strong objections to the construction of the branch to the Chairman's collieries at the expense of the com pany. They said if he wanted a branch to his colliery the least he could do , a as to make it at his own ex pense. - The CHAIRMAN said it could be made for 2,5001., but declined pledging himself to make it for that sum. Mr. SHERWEN reminded the chairman that the original estimate for constructing the main line was 80,0001., and for the dividend 8 per cent. per annum, and said that no confidence could be placed in their estimates. The CHAIRMAN said he felt satisfied that the Bridgefoot branch would be worth 10 per cent. to the main line. . Mr. Moitror thought the branch line ought not to be proceeded with, unless they had the written con sent of the majority of the shareholders. The Cluainmsx said that course was unusual, and therefore he would not pledge himself to adopt it. Mr. HARRIS said there was no occasion to consult the shareholders further than calling a meeting. After a sharp and personal discussion on the sub ject, the meeting separate 3. CALEDONIAN. —To day this company open their Clydesdale junction line for traffic, connecting it by the existing railways with Ayreshire and Greenock, and giving them a terminus on the south side of the Clyde. The line runs from Hamilton to Glasgow, and accommodates Rutherglen, Blantyre, and other places. - EAST LANCASHIRE.-1,000 men are employed with a view to the completion of this company's line into Preston. NAMUR AND LIEGE.—On Saturday the Chairman of this company, Mr. Andrew Spottiswoode, issued a reply to the proprietors, who, at the last half-yearly meeting, in July, passed a resolution requesting him to retire from the direction. The Chairman, in his reply, declines to do this, considering it would be a violation of the trust reposed in him by the Belgian Government. He states that the terms on which the larger portion of the loan of 500,0001. has been con tracted for on behalf of the company are ruinous to the shareholders; that the directors, as yet have only obtained 238,245/. ; and that for 207,977/. of the sum they have given debentures to the amount of 324,5201., being a premium of 116,5431., or upwards of 50 per cent. This, besides the loss of capital, increases the interest on the money borrowed to 8 per cent. per annum, and the result, supposing the debentures fall due at the end of five years, will be, that for the accommodation of 326,4071., at 8 per cent., the com pany will have to pay a bonus of 179,5931. WAKEFIELD, PONTEFRACT, AND GOOLE.--The Methley branch of the above line was not opened on Monday last, as it was announced it would be, in consequence of some misunderstanding between the Midland Company and the directors of the other line. ADMISSION TO A CATHOLIC CONVENT. On Saturday two young ladies went through the ceremony of what is termed " taking the veil," or entering upon their noviciate, previously to being professed as nuns, at the new convent of the Good Shepherd, the second Catholic institution of the kind in Hammersmith. One of the ladies, says a corre spondent, " whose name did not transpire, is from Guernsey, and entered as a lay-sister. The other, Miss Ryder, is highly connected, and as we were informed, is a convert to the Catholic faith. Amongst the friends who attended to witness her separation from the world, were the llon. Mrs. S. Murray, the Hon. Miss Frazer, and the Honourable Miss Methuen. Her brother and sisters were also present. Being assembled at one side of the chapel, adjoining the convent, and the nuns, about twelve in number, being ranged at the other both facing the altar, the young ladies proceeded to turn to the threshold of the sanc tuary, where prie dieu were prepared for them, and, kneeling down, a hymn was chaunted by a choir of girls from the cloisters to the Virgin Mary, whose nativity the Catholic Church that day celebrated. The Right. Rev. Dr. Wiseman (assisted by the Rev. Mr. Phillips, chaplain to the convent, the Rev. Mr. Searle, and the Rev. Mr. Guidez) then said a low mass, at which the two noviciates and the entire community received the sacrament, and afterwards, assuming his episcopal insignia, delivered a lengthened exhortation to them on the necessity of walking in the footsteps of the blessed Virgin, who, though the chosen of God, had to bear a life of trials and anxieties ending in fearful anguish. Bat such was the love she bore her son, that she would rather have suffered thus with him than have led a life of ease and happiness without him. So with them, whatever offices or duties they might have to discharge, what ever trials they might encounter by their own frailty, they must recollect that they were but the humble handmaids of God, who would sometimes perhaps withdraw from them even that very consolation they felt in loving him and receiving him within their breasts in order that they might love him for His sake alone, and look to no earthly reward for doing so. They would not have such scenes of sorrow and desolation to weep over as His Messed mother; but they must not at the same time expect to lead a life of unruffled tranquillity. They would have to carry out the commands of God in a manner wholly op posed to self-love and the weakness of our nature, and to yield that obedience to authority which formed the very essence of the life of the religious state. The Right Rev. Prelate's discourse (of which this is merely the spirit) was followed by prayers special to the occasion and the blessing of the robes, Bce. The ladies then withdrew to cast aside their worldly attire—Miss Ryder being dressed as a bride, with a rich lace veil suspended from her head (the lay sisters plainly), and returned in the garb of the order of the Good Shepherd, when they were in vested by the Bishop with the veil, as an emblem of modesty and purity, and to conceal them from the eyes of the world. They also received from his hands a rosary to remind them " that they were con secrated to the Blessed Virgin." More prayers being said and hymns sung, they kissed each of their " Sisters in Christ," and after bowing before the altar, left the sacred edifice. We lament to have to announce the death of Mr. Cash, of cholera. He died at Hastings on Wednesday evening, and is the second of the Brighton directors swept off by the prevailing fatal epidemic. Mr. Cash was the chairman of the late Eastern Counties Court of Inquiry. lITDROPHOBIA AT ARDSLEY.—In our last we (Leeds Mercury) gave exclusively the particulars of two distressing cases of hydrophobia at the village of Ardsley, where two promising young men had been sacrificed to the horrible madness occasioned by the bite of a dog in a rabid state. Wo are now enabled to furnish our readers with the particulars of the inquest hold upon the body of one of them, Frederick Arundale. The evidence adduced was that of William Arundale, who deposed that he was the father of the deceased, who was eighteen years old. That ten weeks ago he was bitten by a dog on the upper part of the left arm, and on the fore finger of the right hand. The dog afterwards bit two others before it was destroyed, and ono of the par ties had died mad a fortnight ago from the effects. His son did not begin to complain until the previous Monday ; before which time ho ' had been quite comingo tol well, the wounds haling healed. His son was g first seen by two a afraid doctors tha on rew thea sth som 'Tuesday, ein h him they were a rr on from the bite—they wished him to let Mr. Water do n to , send should t l d o hist n s o t r n y b o h s worse. remedyoradlio ff pooteis London for a doctor, at his own expense, to try it, if fr. of W a t t h e e rto l n V° h u witness and his friends were willing. His son was not agreeable at that time; he got worse, and on Wednesday Mr. Slatter saw him, but he died on the day following Sarah Arundale, the mother of deceased, stated that she went with him several times to a person named Dixon, a farrier at Wakefield, who told her he could cure him, and he gave him a red powder to take in some water and beer, and dressed his wounds until they were healed. Her son was so bad on the day of his death that it took from four to six men to hold him in bed. Verdict—" Deceased died from Hydrophobia." A LIsERAL Bartor.—The Society for the Pro motion of Christian Knowledge has promised the sum of 2,0001. towards the establishment of a theological insti tution in Colombo, for which purpose the Bishop of Ceylon has paid 2,000/. out of his own pocket for pur chasing a site for the building, and has also promised to devote 2001. a year from his income during his epis copate. SURREY ADJOURNED SESSIONS, Sept. 10. The adjourned sessions for the county of Surrey commenced this morning, at the Sessions House, Newington- causeway, before Thomas Puckle, Esq., and a full bench of magistrates. The calendar con tained 43 prisoners for trial, but very few of them were of any importance, excepting one or two rob beries in the street, which have lately become so fre quent in the neighbourhood of the court. The grand jury having been sworn, the Chairman remarked that the calendar was not very heavy, and he was ex tremely glad to say so, as at that time of the year they generally had a large number of prisoners for trial. Arc IMPUDENT .SMASHER.— WiIIiam Smith, 33, was indicted for uttering five half. crowns at the house of Joseph Rutter, the landlord of the Swan Inn, at Chertsey, with intent to defraud him. Mr. Robinson was retained for the prosecution. Mary Rutter, the wife of the prosecutor, said that on Monday, the 6th of August, the prisoner came to the bar window and asked for half a quartern of gin, for which he gave a new half crown, which she put into the till. Prior to that she had not taken any coin of that description. The prisoner left the house and returned twice, when he partook of two half-pints of beer, which he paid for with two similar coins, which she also put into the till. In the evening, when her husband came home, she emptied the till, and on looking at the half crowns she had some suspicion of them, and on showing them to her husband, they were all found t) be counterfeit. The barmaid of the prosecutor said that on the fol lowing morning the prisoner came into the tap-room and called for a quartern of gin, for which he gave a half-crown. She gave him the change and he went away. He came back in the evening and had some more beer, when he tendered another half-crown. Witness looked at it, and having some suspicion she called Mr. Rutter, who instantly discovered that it was a counterfeit. She told him from whom she received it, when the prosecutor entered the tap-room and gave the prisoner into custody. Mr. Powell, the inspector of coins for the Mint, proved that the whole of them were counterfeit, and cast in the same mould. In defence the prisoner said he had only one half crown when the prosecutor collared him, but after wards acknowledged having two. The jury found him Guilty, and the 'Cold sentenced him to twelve months at Brixton. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Yesterday John Basin, of 34, Montague-street, Brick-lane, was charged with stealing a hat in the Roman Catholic Chapel, Moorfields, under the follow ing circumstances : Bartholomew Higgins, of White-alley, Moorgate street, said that on Sunday morning he attended mass at Moorfields' Chapel at eight o'clock, and while he went up to receive the sacrament the prisoner took advantage of his absence and walked off with his bat, which cost him 123. Gd only a short time since. Patrick Vaughan, of Goodman's-buildings, Went worth-street, said that he attended the chepel at the hour named by the last witness, and saw him go towards the altar. No sooner did he leave the seat than the prisoner went and took the hat which Higgins had left behind him, and, as an exchange, placed his own old hat in lieu of it. Witness followed him out, and asked him whose hat he had got, and he replied his own. The policeman was called, and the prisoner given into custody. Alderman Cum .Lis asked if such tricks were of frequent occurrence ?—Vaughan replied that they were. Edward Knight, 2, said he received the prisoner in charge about nine o'clock, when near the chapel. He said that his own hat was in the chapel, and that he Lad been a long time out of employment. Alderman CHALLIS—Did he say he took it in mistake ? Knight—He did not. Alderman CHALLIS—Did what be said leave an impression on your mind that he took it for the pur pose of selling ? Knight— It did. The prisoner, in defence, said that he unfortunately got intoxicated last Lord Mayor's Day, lost his situa tion, and had ever since been out of employment. He hoped the Alderman would deal leniently with bin, and he would never be guilty of the like again. Alderman CHALLIS sent him to prison for one month. The prisoner thanked the Alderman, and was then removed. MARY LEB ONE. DONATION FOR THE POOR-BOX.—Yesterday Mr. Broughton requested the reporters to give publicity to the following : " Kenmore, N. 8., Sept. 7, 1849. " Sir,—l enclose a cheque for 5/. for your poor box, to be applied towards the relief of sufferers from cholera. You may make what use you think best of this note. Probably the insertion of it in the public prints will operate as a memento to those who, like myself, are taking their pleasure at a distance from the pestilence, to think of their poor neighbours whom they have left behind. " I have the honour to be Sir, your most obedient servant, "J. A. M." (The writer, who gave his name, requested that his initials only should be given.) CHOLERA.—A person, who stated that he resided in Edward-street, Cumberland-market, addressed the sitting magistrate, Mr. Broughton, in order to ascer tain from him how he should act under the following circumstances : Applicant set forth that, on the previous morning, a man died at his house of Asiatic cholera, leaving a wife and five children. There was no money left behind wherewith to bury the deceased, and appli cant had, since the death, sent three times to the parish authorities, in order that the body should be removed by them ; but as yet no notice had been taken of the matter. He considered that it was a case which should be promptly attended to, and he had therefore lost no time in soliciting his 'Worship's inter ference. The worthy MAGISTRATE directed one of the war rant officers (Crosswell) to proceed instanter in a cab to the St. Pancras workhouse with applicant, and there make knows what had transpired at this court. WESTMIIVS7'ER. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—James Summers, described as a butcher, living in Stockbridge terrace, Pimlico, was placed'at the bar, charged with stealing 1611., in sovereigns and half•sovereigns, from the residence of Mr. Richard James, of 8, Victoria-road, Pimlico, cheesemonger. Mr. Robinson attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Solomons for the prisoner. The circumstances of the case, as detailed by Mr. Robinson in his opening, and by the witnesses in their evidence, are briefly these :—The prisoner had been for a great length of time on terms of intimacy with the prosecutor, and was formerly in his service, but left three years ago, since which time be repeatedly visited at the house, and was treated a s a friend. Tll3 accused, who had had ample opportunities of observ ing where Mr. James kept his money, called at his house on the 16th ult., while the prosecutor was engaged in counting 3631. in gold, and inquired, in the course of conversation, what he was going to do with it, when the prosecutor replied that he was going to lay out 400/. in the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. Consols. Prisoner having intimated that he could not do so very advantageously atprescnt, inquired whether the prosecutor would step out and take some refreshment with him, and the prosecutor having put the gold away in its usual place went out with him. On his return the prosecutor separated 1631. from the remainder, the former of which he left on the cupboard-shel ves, in a bag, which where h? he h?udsueapollirited among some keptit,andthe residue papers, locking the whole in the cupboard. On the following day the prisoner again came to the house and stated thel object of his vi-it to be, to finish some work in the kitchen, he having some time previously undertaken to paint and whitewash it for the prose cutor. In the course of the afternoon Mr. James went down to see how the work progressed, but, to his surprise, discovered that nothing whatever had been done. On the same evening the prisoner came again with the same excuse for the visit, and likewise left without doing the required work. On the 27th ult. the prosecutor discovered that the 1611. in gold had been taken from the cupboard, the lock of which bore marks of having been forced ; and on the pri soner coming to the house that evening, the prose cutor informed him of his loss, when the prisoner recommended him to say nothing about his loss, as he couldn't identify any of the money, and as it would go forth to his tradesmen, and they would be afraid to send goods in. Prosecutor having replied that he had no fear on that score, as he owed nothing, the prisoner left. On Thurs day the 6th instant the prisoner again came to the shop, when, in the course of some general conversa tion, the prosecutor asked him for a sovereign h 9 owed him, to which prisoner replied that he could not pay him the whole, but would bring him a part, and in the course of the same afternoon the accused again presented himself at the shop, and handed pro secutor a half-sovereign, which he immediately iden tifiad as one of those forming a part of the 1611. stolen from the cupboard. He was enabled to identify it by some marks which he had made on it with his teeth, he having observed, while counting the gold up, that looked rather dull, and thought that it might be a counterfeit. The prosecutor made no observa tion to the prisoner when he received the half-sove reign from him, but immediately communicated with the police, who had been for some d a ys engaged in endeavouring to bring the offender to justice; and Sergeant Loom, 11 B, apprehended the prisoner on Saturday night, at a skittle-alley, where be had for some time previously kept an eye upon him, and observed that he was rather List' of gold. Loom, on the occasion of taking him into custody, told prisoner that he was aware of Mr. James's robbery, end asked him if he had any money about him, to which he replied, only sixpence ; but on the officer proceeding to search him at the station-house, he pulled out seventeen half-sovereigns of the Queen Victoria coinage, those stolen being neatly all of a correspon'ling description, and some silver. Ile then pretended that it was his mother's money, which upon inquiry, before he had time to make any communica tion, turned out to be false. Added to the above chain of circums!ances was the testimony of Matilda Franklin, the cook at Mr. James's, who deposed that on the occasion of the second visit of the prisoner, on the evening of the 17th ult., she saw him coming clown stairs on tiptoe, holding his pockets with his hands, and observed him go out the private way, which was contrary to his ger.eral habit. Mr. Robinson having asked for a remand for a few days, with a view, it possible, of obtaining further evidence, Mr. BRODER'? remanded the accusal, who made no defence, for a weak. Bail, on the application of prisoner's solicitor for his appearance, was refused. LAMBETH. DESECRATION Or THE SannaTH.—Yesterclay Mr. Norton received a letter calling his attention to the proceedings carried on during the Sunday in Batter sea-fields, and " New Point at Camber well," which the writer described as a gross desecration of the Sabbath. Having read the letter, Mr. Norton i n . quired if there was any one of the inspectors of police belonging to the Camberwell division present; and being informed that Mr. Robinson, the super intendent of the V, or Camberwell division, had just entered the clerk's room, lie requested to see him. On entering the court, Mr. Robinson was mule acquainted with the nature of the communication, and asked what he thought was m ean t b y t h e " N ew Point at Camberwell ? Ile replied, he had no doubt the place alluded to was a tea-garden of considerable extent, which had been recently fitted up, and to which a great number of persons were attracted, particularly on the Sunday afternoon and night. Mr. NORTON—Is this garden attached to a public house or tavern ? Mr. Robinson—No, sir, not to a public-house, but to a beer-house. Mr. NORTON — Are there entertainments of any sort given there ? Mr. Robinson—On the week-day evenings and nights there is music and dancing, but on Sundays I believe the only amusement is going through a maze; 61 is paid for entrance; but this, I understand, is allowed in the charge for refreshments. Mr. NORTON —What is the character of the per sons who frequent this place? Mr. Robinson—There are a great many prostitutes, and a numerous class of persons who live on them go there, as well as a number of servants, y oung men and women ; and I feel bound to say I entertain strong doubts whether it is a proper place for the resort of modest females. Mr. NORTON—Then what is the character of the person who keeps the place ? Mr. Rob:nson—He is or has been the proprietor of a number of brothels. He applied to the Commissioners for the assistance of the police, but his application was refused. Mr. NORTON—I should think so, indeed. In my opinion the very last thing that should be interfered with is the rational amusement of all classes ; but this is a place which must, if not pro perly conducted, be at once put down. The parish of Camberwell has been, in my ophdon, the best con ducted of any parish in the metropolis, and such a nuisance and ev il as th a t j us t es t a bli s h e d cannot be permitted to exist; and I therefore request, Mr. Robinson, as a complaint has reached this court of the proceedings there, you will cause inquiries to be made as to the management of the place, and mention the result to me on a future day. Mr. Robinson promis , Jl to comply with his Wor ship's request, and here the matter ended. THE POOR•IIOX,—Mr. Norton received from S. S. G. a communication enclosing the half of a .5/. note, and also a second communication with the remaining half of a W. note, No. 831,157, date July 14, 1849, fur the benefit of the sick poor. SOUTIIIVARK. HIGHWAY ROBBERY BY A FEMALE. — Jade TV kite, alias Evans, a tall masculine-looking, fashionably. dressed young woman, was brought before Mr. Seeker for further examination, charged with stealing a silver watch and pencil-case from the person of Mr. John Smith, a gentleman residing in Trinity- square, Southwark. Mr. Binns attended to defend the prisoner. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor that on the afternoon of the 21st of August he had been to Fulham to transact some business, and he returned to London-bri Ige in an omnibus about twelve at night, when he proceeded along High-street on his way home. Being rather thirsty after the fatigue of the day, he entered the Three Tuns tavern, and partook of a glass of stout, and as soon as he came out of the latter place he saw the prisoner pass him, followed by two men. He walked along, and turned up Trinity-street towards the square, and as he was crossing Swan-street the prisoner suddenly seized hold of him, and snatched his watch and pencil.case from his waistcoat pocket. Before he could recover himself, two men came up to him and struck him, and prevented him from makirg any alarm. They then all made their escape. He pur sued them fur some time, but was unable to find any trace of them. He instantly gave information to the police, and gave a description of the prisoner, which ultimately led to her apprehension. In cross-examination by Mr. Binns, witness said he was perfectly sober when he entered the Three Tuns, and he knew that his watch was safe then, as he looked at it to compare with the clock in the public house. Witness had said that he hoped she would get off, as he did not wish to be kept from business. He never said that he was mistaken as to the prisoner, fur he was sure she was the person who robbed him. Sergeant Blandford, 12 M, said that he received information of the robbery, with a description of the prisoner, on the 2d of August. Knowing her well, he kept a look-out for her, and on the evening of the sth instant he met her in the Borough, when he took her into custody. The prosecutor was immediately sent for, when he identified her. IVitness had seen her in the Borough on the night of the robbery with two men, whom he knew well as her associates. Mr. Binns contended that the prosecutor and the policemen werd both wrong, as he was instructed to say the prisoner was some distance from London on the night in question. He called William French, a general dealer at Norwood, who said that the prisoner had lived with him as his house keeper for six months. She remained with him until last Wednesday week, when she left to visit a friend f'n London. lle was certain that she was not in Lon don on the 21st, of August. Sergeant Blandford said that he not only saw her on Monday evening previous to the robbery, but she was seen on the same day by another policeman in a pawnbroker's shop. Wright, police-constable 63 IV, said that he had known the prisoner for some time in the Borough. Three weeks ago he saw her in Mr. Barnett's, the pawnbroker, in the Circus, Blackfriars-road, redeem ing some article. Mr. SECKER said that if such was the fact gross perjury had been committed by French, whom he should direct to be looked after. lie was determined to fully investigate the charge ; therefore he should remand the prisoner, to give the constable an opportu nity of making inquiries in other quarters. She was accordingly remanded. The police were directed to make every effort to find the men. CLERK EN WELL. Yesterday John Brown, a powerful looking young man, an ex policaman, was placed at the bar before Mr. Combe, charged with the following daring and violent outrage on the police : It appeared from the evidence that on Sunday morning, at 'ten o'clock, the prisoner was drunk and fighting with another man in Cromer street, Bruns- wick square, when Sergeant Graysmank, 8 E, inter fered, and the prisoner became exceedingly violent, and swore that no policeman should take him. He seized the sergeant by the throat, knocked him down, and attempted to choke him. Carter, 124 E, came to his assistance, and was obliged to use his staff to extricate him from the prisoner's grasp. The prisoner then fought, bit, and kicked at them like a madman, until Pratt, 136 E, arrived to their assistance, on which the prisoner gave him a violent kick in the stomach, which laid him prostrate in the greatest agony. He kept the officers at bay, swearing that he would serve them out, as he owed them a grudge. He succeeded i n knocking down Graysmank, whom he kicked about the head and body until be was nearly insensible. On his way to the station• house he resisted desperately, until several other po liceman arrived on the Tot, and it required the united efforts of eight officers to secure him in the station house. The whole of the officers attended, and exhi- bited severe wounds and bruises, especially Grays mank, Carter, and Pratt, who were stated to have been so much injured that they were rendered inca pable of performing their duty. Mr. ComBE asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge ? Prisoner—l was drunk, and I do not recollect anything that took place. Mr. ComnE—lt is very convenient, no doubt, for you, an ex - policeman, to nearly murder constables. You ought to know better ; if you do Rot, you must be taught. (To the officer)—What do you know of the prisoner's character? Graysmank said he was discharged from the dice force three years ago, and since then h e had be p en convicted of violent assaults on the police. He wa3 a desperate character. Mr. COMBS said he was a complete savage, and he sentenced him to on? month's imprisonment in the House of Correction with hard labour, for the assaults upon Graysmank, Carter, and Peatt, making the whole three months' imprisonment. Two thieves, named Costello and Green, were charged with pelting the police with stones. It appeared that when the above officers were taking the prisoner Brown to the station-house they were followed by an immense crowd, who pelted stones, hooted at them, an 3 called out fora ro:eue the prisoners were taken in the act at throwing I.irge stones. They were sentenced to fourteen days' imprison ment each. 'WORSHIP -STREET. UTTERING FORGED NOTES.— William Harris, young man of respectable appearance, described as a solicitor's clerk, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with having uttered a .5/. Bank of England note to Mrs. Martha Wilton, living in Essex street, Kingsland-road. A young woman, named Mary Bird, stated that Ole lodged at the house of Mrs. Wilton, and had been intimately acquainted with the prisoner for upwards of a twelvemonth. On the evening of the 21st ult., while passing down the Kingsland-road she met the prisoner, who invited her into a public house to take some refreshment, but she objected to do so, and proposed that he should accompany her home for that purpose. The prisoner accordingly repaired with her to her lodgings, where he sent out for half-a-pint of brandy, in payment of which he handed a .5/. note to her landlady, and requested her to bring him the change. The latter procured the liquor, and returned 4/ 18s. 6.1. to the prisoner, who left the house almost immediately, and they were subsequently apprised by the barman of the public house, who had given change for the note, that be had ascertained it to be a forgery. She saw nothing more of the prisoner until last Saturday evening, when she met him in the neighbourhood, and at once charged him with having passed a forged note to her landlady ; to which he made no direct reply, but seemed anxious to elude her, and turned hastily down an adjoining street. She followed him closely, however, and kept him in conversation till a policeman made his appear ance, and she was about to give him into custody when her intentions were anticipated by the prisoner, who gave her in charge for annoying him in the streets. On reaching the station house, however, she communicated all the circumstances to the inspector on duty, who ordered her immediate liberation, and detained the prisoner upon the present charge. Adelaide Doudney, a fellow lodger of the last wit ness, deposed positively to the prisoner being the person who uttered the note, which was produced in court, and identified by the landlady as the same she had received from him. William Williams, barman at the Carpenters' Arms, Kingsland-road, and three other witnesses, through whose hands the note had subsequently passed, were examined as to its identification ; the last of whom, a corn factor, named Johnson, proved having present_d it with other monies at the Bank of England, where he kept an account, on the 28th ult. Mr. James Barton, a clerk at the Bank of England, proved that the note in question was a forgery; and two other t?/. notes, produced by persons in court, and which formed the subject of further charges against the prisoner having been also handed to the witness for inspection, he pronounced them both to be forgeries. Sergeant Teakle, of the II division, produced six other forged 51. notes, which he stated had been ut tered to different tradesmen by a person whose de scription exactly answered that of the prisoner, and he fully expected that he should be able on a future day to establish numerous other cases against him. Mr. Vann, who appeared for the prisoner, ex pressed his intention to reserve the defence, but trusted the Magistrate would admit his client to bail, as he had been for many years in the set vice of an eminent professional firm in Throgmorton-street, the principals of which had always entertained the highest opinion of his integrity and general character. Mr. ARNOLD said that he must dreline to accept bail after the statement he had just heard from the officer, and he should order the prisoner to be re manded fur the production of other charges agtinst him. CORONERS' INQUESTS, DEATH OF MIS. THOMAS ',IOIINSON, LATE AL DERMAN OF ALDGATE WARD. —Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Baker, at the Brunswick Arms, Homerton, cm view of the body of Mr. Thomas Johnson, aged 86, late alderman of Aldgate Ward, who died of an attack of diarrhoea. Mr. T. Ewens, City visiting missionary, No. 4, Queen's-road, Homer ton, said that the deceased, whose residence was at the Charter-house, on Thursday last came on a visit to his family. He used to suffer from an affection of the chest, and on F r id ay , as h e f e l t pain there he took a pill. In the evening he was seized with diarrheee, for which, about twelve o'clock, he took some brandy and water. But he got no better. About six o'clock on Saturday morning he was seen by Mr. Howell, surgeon, who was unable to check the progress of the disease, and he died about three o'clock on the after noon of Saturday. At this time of the year the de ceased was in the habit of passing a month with his son and niece at Homerton. Verdict—" Natural death." Deceased twice attempted to be elected Lord Mayor. ADJOURNED INQUEST ON WILLIAMS, THE CHARTIST CONVlCT.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Longhorn, the deputy-coroner for Westminster, resumed and con cluded the inquiry which was commenced on Setur day, into the circumstances attendant upon the death of Joseph Williams, who died on Wednesday last, in the Westminster prison. Mr. F. Atkinson, the barrister, and Mr. Fitch, a solicitor, attended to watch the proceeding for the friends of the deceased ; and Captain Williams, one of the inspectors of prisons, was also in attendance. William Bates, a warder of the prison, stated that he received the deceased into his charge on the 14th of July; on the 28th of August he complained of illness—of constipation of the bowels. The prison surgeon saw him, and ordered him some gruel for dinner and supper, in addition to the bread-and-water diet on which he was then kept. Williams was, at that time, under solitary confinement, inflicted, as witness believed, for a breach of the prison rules, in refusing to work. Witness had him in charge up to the Ist of September. His solitary confinement was to extend over six days, and special directions were given by the magistrates that he should have bread and water for his diet. He did not fulfil the whole term of his sentence, his punishment being remitted as soon as he complained of illness, on the 28th. On the 29th he said he was better, and he was then re placed in solitary confinement, on a bread-and-water diet. On his cross-examination by Mr. Atki;lson, witness stated that the surgeon had ordered Williams extra diet long before he was placed in solitary confinement. Williams used to be permitted to occupy his own cell, and was exempt from labour, as his friends paid ss. a week for his exemption. That paym&nt was at length discontinued, and the prison rules were con sidered to be broken. The exemption from work on payment of ss. weekly was a privilege granted to political offenders. Mr. Thomas Crea, the deputy governor of the prison, stated that Williams refused to pick oakum when ordered to do so by the magistrates. On being questioned by Mr. Atkinson, Mr. Crea stated that on Monday, August 20, he was directed to give the prisoner a pound of oakum to pick, which he would not undertake to do. When Williams came to the prison he was very much at tenuated, but afterwards he increased in weight. The surgeon of the prison (Mr. Lavres) expressed his opinion that solitary confinement would not have the effect of producing looseness of the bowels ; it would rather tend to constipation. Williams died in a state of syncope, induced by an attack of Asiatic cholera. William 'Williams, the father of the deceased, said he saw his son on Wednesday, the sth inst. Ile ap• pearcd in a very low state, and said he was very ill through starvation. His exclamation was, "lam a dead Mall; it no cholera, but cold and starvation." The Conoska having directed the attention of the jury to the facts detailed in evidence, a deliberation of about half an hour took place. The jury returned as their verdict—" That the pri soner died whilst in a faint produced by cholera ; and they recommend that the infliction of a bread•and water diet for so long a period be for the present discontinued." Williams, it will be recollected, was convicted for a seditious speech on Clerkenwell-green, in conjunction with Fussell, Looney, Vernon, and other Chartists, about fourteen months since. THE ALLEGED BURYING ALIVE IN CAMDEN TOWN. —At an inquest held by Mr. 11. M. Wakley, in Camden Town, the worthy Coroner expressed a strong desire that a statement relative to a servant in the employ of Mr. Brown, cow-keeper, Camden-town, having been buried alive, which appeared in a report of an inquest held by him on a soldier in Regent's-park Barracks, and which was published in the daily journals, should be contradicted, as it created the greatest alarm and excitement amongst deceased's relatives and the inhabitants of Camden -town. At that inquest a person, who he imagined was a juror, but who it subsequently appeared was a sp?ctator, said that the man had been buried alive, that his widow had the grave and coffin opened, and that she found her husband on his face, his knuckles fright fully lacerated, and the coffin full of blood. Mazsrs. Bird and George, the medical attendants, and his widow, assured him that there was not the slightest foundation for the statement, and that as no doubt was entertained of deceased's death his grave was not opened. The man had eaten a quantity of oysters, which gave him cholera, of which he had died, and he was speedily buried. lie had no control over newspapers, and therefore was not accountable for their reports. The Coroner again expressed a hope that, in order to allay the excitement and pain created by the report, the daily journals would contradict it. The jury repeated a similar hope, and the conver sation dropped. A KEEPER MURDERED BY A MANIAC.—Last evening Mr. 11. M. Wakley held an adjourned in quest, in the Kensington Workhouse, on Maurice Pickett, a keeper over the lunatics in the workhouse, aged 62. On the 27th ult. WlllHri lunatic, was nduiicteet to the workhouzie. ;() desperate that the strongest jacket and leg bolts had to be put on. The following Friday morning John Holday, an assistant, was awoke by a noise in the lunatic ward, when he saw Wheeler armed with a blackthorn stick, and struggling with another lunatic. He instantly hurried to deceased's bed, whom he found insensible and covered with blood. He then called 'the watchman. The moment the latter en. tered, Wheeler rushed at him with his stick, but the watchman overpowered and secured him. Wheeler by some means got rid of his straight jacket and bolts. As soon as he was secured, deceased was removed to the infirmary, and attended by Mr. Runney, the house•surgeon ; but, although everything was done to save him, he died on Monday, the 3d inst. Wheeler was conveyed to the Peckham asylum, where he still remains in a most infuriated state, threatening de struction to all around him. .. The jury returned the following verdict :—" De ceased died of a fracture of the t,kull, but by whom caused there was no evidence to prove." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PLYMOUTH, SEPT. B.—The Penguin packet-brig ar rived this morning from Falmouth, and :sent up harbour to refit. The crew of the Linnet were paid wages at the office in the dockyard this morning, and the brig sailcd this afternoon for Falmouth. The Board of Ordnuce having granted the use of tents for cholera patients at Tavistock and Beer Afton, they were on the 6th inst. forwarded to those towns from the gun-wharf. The Brightman emigrant-ship, +of 600 tons burden, Captain C. G. Cowley, bound to Australia, having grounded at Wonhing, on her p assage from London to this port, was on Thursday, through the instrumentality of Messrs. Luscombe, Driscoll, and Co., I heed in charge of the dockyard authorities. The Spartan frigate was, in consequence hauled out of the north deck yesterday (Friday) morning, and the Brightmem hauled in. The Government artisans were employed a few extra hours, the water pumped out of the dock, and the bottom of the Brightman (which ship draws fifteen feet) was care fully examined, alien it was found that only a small portion of the copper of her false keel had been rubbed off. That trifling defect having been made good, the water was again admitted, and this morning the Sir Francis Drake steamer, Captain Sadler, towed the Brightman from the dockyard to her sailing moorings in the Sound.. By this judicious arrangement the emigrants were spared the great inconvenience of landicg and re embarking, the expense of unloading cargo has been saved, and the tedious and unpleasant delay caused by the other modes of examining a ship's bottom completely avoided. Wind—Easterly; smart braze and fine weather. WOOLWICH, .SEPT. 10.—Commodore Henry Eden has joined from leave, and hoisted his broad pendant on the Fisgard frigate. Mr. Richard Graves, shipwright at Woolwich dock yard, has been appointed carpenter to the expedition which sailed on Friday last from Bristol to survey the Lagoons in the Bight of Benin, under the charge of Mr. Ferdinand Struve. A large flat-bottomed boat has - been built and fitted out with every necessary convenience fo, the purposes of the expedition by Mr. Thompson, of Rotherhithe, and was forwarded by railway to Bristol. The Bosphorus, belonging to the General Screw-pro peller Shipping Company, arrived at Liwrpool from London on th 3 7th instant, after an excellent passage making the voyage to Liverpool from the Downs in three days and two hours. She left the Downs with moderate wind ahead, which continued till off' the Lie of Wight, when she had a fair wind to the Land's End, and her average rate of speed t, that poict was ten knots, having made 310 miles in rather less than thirty-one hours. At the Land's End she experienced a strong north-easterly wind, against which she steamed in gallant style. A very interesting trial of speed took place on the river on Thursday last, the 6th of September, between the Manchester and Sheffield steam vessels, having bows and Stern alike, and fitted up with excellent deck ac commodation, being intended to run between Hull and New Holland, to convey the passengers of the Manches ter, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway acrosi the Humber. Messrs. Robinson and Russell built the Man chester, and also fitted her with her engines. The length of keel of the Manchester is 167 feet, and her breadth of beam 22 feet, and she is fitted with oscil lating engines of 150 nominal horse power, the cylinders being 4 feet diameter, and the stroke 4 feet 6 inches. The Sheffield was built by Mr. Smith, of Gainsbo rough, and her length of keel is 150 feet, with a breadth of beam of 22 feet. Her engines were constructed by Messrs. George and Sir John R,.nnie, under the superia tendance of Mr. Humphries, now chief engineer at Woolwich Dockyard, and they are on the oscillating principle, of 156 horse-power, with cylinders 4 feet diameter, and 4 feet stroke. Both vessels arrived at Blackwell about twelve o'clock, when Mr. A. Robinson went on board the Sheffield, and requested that the race should commence from Erith instead of Blackwell, as was at first intended. This was agreed to, and the Manchester started, followed at about three boats' length by the Sheffield. When opposite Erith the Sheffield had to stop twice in consequence of craft in the river, and the steering becoming jammed in the sheave. When the Sheffield arrived at Erith the Manchester was about a mile ahead, and instead of stopping there for the former, as Mr. Robinson proposed, she went on straight ahead, and from Erith to the Nore light gained nearly another mile. When the Manchester rounded the light, Mr. Fowler, engineer to the railway company, and um-• pipe of the race, ordered the Sheffield to turn, which gave her a start of nearly two miles, and that distance was in. creased all the way to Blackwell, and she was three miles and a half a-head of the Manchester when she arrived at the Brunswick pier. Taking the race as com mencing at Erith, the Sheffield beat the Manchester by about a little more than half a mile, a very close race considering the distance run by the vessels. The engines of both worked well—those on the Sheffield making 35 revolutions per minute, with paddle-wheels 18 feet in diameter, and floats 11 feet by 11 feet. She had no hot bearings nor any accident whatever, and kept blowing oil steam both going and returning. The average speed at tained was nearly 16 miles an hour. The Manchester left the river for the Humber on Friday last, and the boats are highly creditable to their constructors.

INVASION or CUBA.—Armaments are in course of preparation in the United Statcs for the invasion of Cuba; anti they are still envying on, in defiance of the strong prohibition of the President. Various explanations of this strange movement are given. A ccor di ng to some, the United States merchants have large capital invested in Cuba and they are pr e p ar i ng for a revolution, by which the yoke of Spain shall be thrown off, and Cuba shall be attached to the great Republic. According to others, the people of the Southern Stave States wish to annex Cuba, to strengthen the slavery cause in Congress. According to others, the object is to command the Gulf of Mexico, and to aggrandize still further the vast Anglo- Saxon republic. It is said that the President is resolved to intercept the armament ere it reaches Cuba. Should it arrive there and succeed in revolutionizing the island, the United States will be awkwardly embroiled with Spain.—Leeds Mercury. fr pl . , The fo.iow•ing is the ot] corn, &c., received in th Essex, from the 3d Sei both inclusive : is; •—• I o*o I d '4 , A+ Colchester .
