NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 28.—Her Majesty and the Court are expected to arrive at the Clarence-yard, Gosport, to-morrow, at two rM. from Basingstoke, en rout , to Osborne. A guard of honour of the Royal Marines will attend to receive her Majesty. The Brilliant, 22, Captain R B. Watson, C. 8., arrived this morning from the Cape of Good Hope, St. Helena, and Ascension ; but her mails having been brought to England by the Inflexible, she had no news; she sailed this evening for Sheerness to be paid off. The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert rehoisted the ensign and pennant yesterday, and is quite ready for her Majesty. The Myrtle steam-tender, Master Commander Braddon, sailed this afternoon for Plymouth with supernumeraries. In Harbour—The Victory, Illustrious, Excellent, Blenheim, Encounter, Victoria and Albert, Black Eagle, Fairy, Elfin, Rolla, and Echo. At Spithead—The Superb and Sutlej Indiaman. In Dock—The Princess Charlotte, Fox, Actaeon, Dauntless, Devastation, and Contest. In the Bisin—The Rodney, Sphynx, Polyphemus, and Sprightly. In the Steam Basin—The Ajax, Sidon, Basilisk, Penelope, Scourge, Blazer, Argent, and Fire Queen. Wind—S.W., light breezes, and fine weather. CHATHAM, SEPT. 29.—The Calypso, 20 gunie paid off on the 24th inst., and which has been examinfel by the officers of the yard, is pronounced to be the cleanest ship which has been paid off at this port for many years. The Wolverine, 12 guns, which was commissioned on the 25th by Commander Maxwell Falcon, has com menced entering men. Six seamen riggers have vo lunteered for her from this yard, and Eeveral others would have done so could they have obtained their rating as petty officers ; but as that distinction could not be promised, they declined entering. This ship is almost completed. She must be taken into dock to have her bottom cleaned, which is extremely foul. The two lieutenants, master, surgeon, paymaster and purser, and most of the officers have joined. She is announced for the coast of Africa. The Ocean, 80 guns, Captain G. Elliot, stationary flag-ship at Sheerness.—Mr. Rumfrey, captain's clerk, committed suicide on Thursday morning, the 27th, by cutting his throat with a razor, which he borrowed from one of the ship's crew. PLYMOUTU, FRIDAY MORNING. Her Majesty's steamer Volcano, from Tangier, arrived here yester day, having in tow a brigantina which had lost her bowsprit and both masts. The brigantine is called tha Eliza, belo - ngs to Newport, and was from London, in ballast, bound to a port in the Bristol Channel. When off this harbour to the westward, yesterday at noon, wind north.west, weather very thick, she we.; hailed by the Volcano and desired to lay too, in ordar that the steamer might ascertain how the land bore. Captain Owe❑ compiled immediately with the request, and while lying too the Volcano fouled the brigantine andearried away all her spars and rigging. The Volcano then took the Eliza in tow, and in consequence of the inter-communication they were, on arrival here, both placed under 'quarantine, from which they were released last night, and are now gone tip Ilamoaze. Tier Atijesty'a steam-frigate Alrm will b? paid wages to-day, and sail to•morrcw for the West Indies. She, has for several days been lying in the Sound, where she was removed at an early period, in order to lessen communication with the shore, on account oF the prevailing sickness. Her M . ljysty's iron steamer Trident is ordered from the Irish station to this port, to be docked and examined, her bottom being much corroded. Hee Majesty's ship Clarence has been warped alongside the sheer hulk, when her masts were taken out, examined, and placed in store. Her Majesty's ship Hibernia has had her ballast taken out previous to going into dock. _ The. artisans of the dockyard will be mustered to m,,rrow (Saturday) commencing at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. On board her Majesty's steamer 'Hoch, in Hamoaze, three cases of sickness among her officers have re cently occurred. Mr. Webber, the clerk, died of cholera, at Devonport, on the 13th instant. Mr. Wilkinson, the surgeon, was taken sick on Tuesday and went ashore to the Royal Naval Hospital, Stonehouse, where he remains under treatment. Mr. Dryden, purser, was seized on Friday last, and went to his residence, Portland square, Plymouth, where he was on Saturday morning attacked violently with Asiatic cholera, and is yet but partially recovered. It is remarkable that all these officers were berthed in the larboard side of the ship, and that neither of the officers on the starboard side has been attacked. THE BOY JONES AGAIN.—Young Jones, the old visit,r of Buckingham Palace, has, to the surprise of the governor of Newgate, been discovered amongst the pre sent inmates of the gaol, to which he was about throe weeks ago introduced, in consequence of an unwelcome visit which he paid at the house of a gentleman at an unreasonable hour in the night. The mystery in which the early circumstances of the life of Junes have been involved seems to extend itself to his more recent trans actions. It was generally supposed that the Govern snent had taken care, after his last sudden appearance in the royal residence, that her Majesty should be secured from the chance of future intrusion from him. It was believed that by this time he was industriously engaged in one of our forsign settlements. How much then must a policeman, who had had kim in custody several times for such extraordinary violations of etiquette in her 'Majesty's Palace, been astonished at seeing him amongst the inmates of her Majesty's gaol! It is not more than three weeks since a young man named John Frost was committed to goal for robbing the house of Mr. David Williams Wire, at Lewisham in Kent, of plate, which was soon afterwards found in the posses sion of the accused, who was tried, convicted, and sentenced to transportation for ten years for having committed the offence. That John Frost is no other than the Boy Jones, who had such a remarkable knack of evading the vigilance of her Majesty's domestic ser vants and the police as to be able to secure a lodging in any room in the palace to which he might take a fancy. On Tuesday ltst it happened that an officer who had frequently taken the " boy" into custody went into one of the wards upon some business connected with his du ties. The moment his eye fell upon John Frost he said, " Hallo, how on earth did you coma here, young Jones? You haven't been to see her Majesty again, have you?" The prisoner, with great presence of mind, denied that he knew anything of young Jones, or the policeman, or the Queen, and requested not to he annoyed in his serious cogitations. It was in vain that the officer and several other policemen of the metropolitan force positively identified the prisoner as the young chircnev-sweeper who had made his bed under the ;:',fs or, which her Ma jesty had been sitting. Ile most resolutely declared that he was a stranger to every individual named, and that the only person of rank into whose house he had ever entered was that of the Under-Sheriff of London. TRADE OF NOTTIriGHAM.—LACE.—There is not any change to note in the state of this trade since our last. Plain goods ar e in fair demand, and good patterns in fancy goods miaae by machinery command a steady sale, whilst those, of an inferior description remain on hand. Yarns/are rather higher, as we told our readers some tism ago they would be. Hosiery—ln wrought cott o n there is a slight falling off in the demand ; on the other hand the cut-up branches were scarcely ever better. The drawer, pantaloon, and shirt trade is in a very healthy state, most of the shops being in full work. The cotton glove trade, owing to the season of the year, has become rather duller than it was some months since. The silk glove branch has not visibly amended, many of the hosiers making spun silk gloves to supersede those made of thrown silk. The bobbin net trade, now the orders of the Leipsic fair have been completed, is con sidered dull, whether for plain, figured, or black or white silk laces, but not so as to cause distress.—Nottingham Journal. The appearance of Cheltenham has greatly im proved within the last ten days, the influx of company having been very considerable, and the number of residents who, within the period, have also returned from their summer excursions being greater than had taken place for some weeks pre vious. The continued immunity of the town from the prevailing epidemic has no doubt operated favour ably in causing many families to determine upon an earlier return home than under other circumstances might have cccurred; and the same cause has also favoured the arrival of strangers. From these and other equally significant signs of the times we are led to anti cipat(t a good autumn season—the precursor of a winter which shall equal, at least, if it surpasses not, those of the last two or three years. It is, however, too early yet to predict anything with certainty as to what may be its general character, though there is, even at pre sent, every reasonable ground of hope.— Cheltenham Looker• on AWKWARD PREDICAMENT.—On Saturday evening last, as a lady was walking along High-street, Wisbech, • she was followed at a short distanco by two or three sailore, who observed the bustle belonging to the lady trailing along the ground, and holding only by one string ; one of the sailors took the liberty to put his foot on tie bustle; ho then stepped up to the lady, and politely informed her that she had lost an appendage; she at once told the good-hearted sailor not to insult her, saying it did not belong to her, and requested him to go abut his business. He in reply said, " Vcry well," and banded the bustle to an old lady close by, who de clared the beautiful silk on the article would make her a spit ndid bonnet. It is an ill wind that blows no one goo d,—Stamford Mercury. SUPERSTITION IN 1849.—There is in the neigh bourhood of Benton and its vicinity a population of e theth this different wonder. about 200, in which it is asser ted that there are 1 9 witches; and curious enoughitispitctoy e lida h ry tales of the people of the pranks ful class of beings. Some of the inhabitants sit up b y night, three or four together, for several nights follow ing, using some peculiar charm, instructed, they s a y, b y the vise man of the west. Th ere they sit praying t o themselves, they must not hear each other speak, that the witch may not any longer have power to scratch the children, as they do by some invisible means; and about midnight they generally bear some terrible un earthly noises. One person has even attempted suicide under fear; some, they say, are hag-ridden; others dream wonderful dreams, and have cramps, all of which arc attributed to the same cause. One person asserts that she actually, at night, saw one of those wonderful beings come into her room thrce times—Sherborne ;Tolimal. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY _ EVENING, SEPTEMBER 29, 1849. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 28. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF EDWARD NAIRNE. watched by the police. He should now cause him to be kept in Custody until the morning, and in the mean time he would consider what course should be taken in reference to the perjury which he had without doubt committed. _ _ Browne was accordingly locked up for the night, and this morning, upon his being brought up, The Learned JUDGE addressing him said, it was impossible to doubt but that all the time he was giving his evidence on the previous day, he was fully aware that he was committing gross perjury, neither did he himself entertain the slightest doubt that his " marine-store-shop " was a place where stolen arti tides were received and purchased. For the present, Browne might go about his business, but he must carry with him this intimation—that for the future his shop as well as his own proceedings would be closely watched by the police. He had now known what the confinement in a prison for a night was. Let that be a warning to him. The jury, as has been stated, found Payne Guilty. The Learned JUDGE said he should postpone the pasvjng sentence upon the prisoners in order that some further inquiries might be made about them. With regard to Payne, it was a singular fact that he was dis charged from prison just 19 months ago, whilst all the witnesses who had been called to speak in his be half had stated that they had known him about 18 months. The sentence upon Payne and Gage was then post poned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. David M'lntyre and Matthew _Eight (the first a fighting man, the second the keeper of a coffee-house in Blackfriars-road), were charged before the Lord Mayor under the following circumstances : Mr. Atkinson and Mr. Wontner appeared for the prisoners. A gentleman of the name of Watson said, on the 28:h of August, at half-past ten o'clock at night, as I was walking along Oxford-street, a woman addressed me and asked me to treat her. I declined to do so. It began to rain a little, and I took shelter in a shop doorway in Princes-street. The woman followed and spoke to me again, and a man came from the opposite side of the way as if he were coming into the shop door. I said to her, " Here is a man wants to come tn." He came up, and she gave him some thing, and he immediately said, " I want to go to St. George's-road, Westminster." I told him he was to go through Regent-street, towards Westminster, and the moment he was gone I missed from my trowlers pockets nine sovereigns wrapped up in a 20!. note. The woman disappeared when the man went. The note now produced, of which I knew the number, is that which I lost. Neither of the prisoners is the man who came up. Mr. C. R. Tatham, clerk in the accountants' office of the Bank of England, produced a banknote for 201., numbered 30,731, and dated 9th of April, 1849, and said it had been pid into the bank on the 17th of September, through Messrs. Itobart's house. _ _ _ " all goods could be paid for by weekly instalments of 25." I received a letter from the prisoner between the 14th and 16th of September, 1846, containing an order for certain goods to the amount of 9/. 2s. That description of goods I had not a sufficient quantity and only sent part, after which another letter arrived saying that if I had not sent all off; Messrs. Lloyd, Wood, and Co.'s cart would be in town on the Mon day, and would call for the rest. They were after wards forwarded to the direction given in Tottenham court-road, and since then I have seen nothing of the prisoner until yesterday at the Insolvent Debtors' Court. _ _ Alderman Ginns—Was there credit given ? Mr. Lee—Yes ; the bill was to be settled at the expiration of two months. Alderman GIBBS —Where is the false pretence ? Mr. Warrand—He obtained the goods under the representation that bis name was Wood, of the firm of Lloyd, Wood, and Co., whereas his real name is Quantock; and that he carried on business at North church, Berkhampstead, which is not the case, for he, in his schedule and when before the Commissioner at the Insolvent Court, made no mention of Mr. Lee's debt, or that he ever lived at Northchurch, thus so far establishing a case against him. Alderman GlBBs—Show that there was no such firm et Northchurch. Mr. Lee—After sending some letters down, and having them returned by post, marked that no such parties as Lloyd, Wood, and Co., could be found, I and my foreman went down and ascertained fur a cer tainty that no such firm ever existed there. And on making inquiries at the railway station we were told that seven sacks of flour came by rail directed to the same firm, but the owner fortunately seized them before arriving at their destination and catred them off. Mr. Spiller cross-examined Mr. Lee, but did not elicit anything favourable for his client. Alderman GIBBS—I should like proof that the letters from Northchurch, Berkbampstead, are in the prisoner's handwriting. Mr. Werrand said that could be easily proved, and called Lewis Levi, the foreman to Mr. Lee, who, after examing them, swore they were in the prisoner's handwriting, and also corroborated his employer's evidence respecting making inquiries at nearly all the houses in Northehurch, and being unable to find that such a firm ever existed. Cross•exarnined—l don't know such a place cs Whitchurch. Mr. Lee—There is no such pace. Prisoner—There is, of a quarter of a mile. It is a villsge, and joins Berkhampstead. Mr. IVarrand--There is no sulli place. Alderman Giuns—But your letters are dated from N orthchurch. Prisoner—l don't recollect which place it is. It's all a mistake.—(Laughter.) There is no post office there at Northchurch.—(Much laughter.) Chief Clerk—Then you know Northchurch well ? The pi isoner made no reply. Mr. Warrand asked for a remand, and said, that when full publicity was given to the case of such a man as the prisoner there was no doubt that other cases would be brought against him. Alderman GIBBS remanded him until Wednesday next. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY. CROWN-OFFICE, SEPT. 28, 1849. MEMBER RETURNED TO SERVE IN THIS PRESENT PAR- LIAMENT.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Sept. 28.) SUGAR.—To-day there was only a limited business concluded in the West India Sugar market, and rather lower rates were taken for both grocery and working kinds. The purchases to-day were 579, making for the week 2,360 hhda and trcs, and the decline in price for that time has been 6d to Is per cwt. The market for all sorts of Sugar closes with a quiet aspect. REFINED:—To-day sales to a fair extent were made in refined goods by home dealers, and former rates are well tupported. In bonded crushed Sugar the sales made are of little moment. MAURITIUS.--This afternoon the public sales of 4,800 bags Mauritius Sugar went off flatly, at barely former rates; brown sold at 33s to 353, yellow 35s 6d to 38s 6d, fine 393 to 40s, and grey 34s to 38s per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal Sugar submitted to public sale was extensive, and amounted to 8,800 bags. On the part of dealers not much desire was evinced to make purchases, and only about half sold at a further decline of 6d per cwt. Prices ruled as follows:—Yellow like Mauritius realised from 36s to 40s, low to fine white 38s 61 to 41s 6d, grainy brown 37s 6d to 38s 6d, yellow 39s to 44s 6d, and white 45s to 465. 1,175 casks Ceylon went at 32s to 34s for soft yellow. _ FonEIGN.L-To-day there was little passing by private treaty in Foreign Sugar; and at public sale 275 hhds Porto Rico sold at a further reduction ; low yellow at 363 6d to 375, and middling to good 37s Gd to 39s per t. MOLASSES.—There is still firmness on the patt of holders of West India, and full rates are asked; the supply at market is moderate. The demand has fallen off, all' only small parcels have been sold this week at from 153 5d to 18s 6d for low to fine quality. Bengal Treacle is not much in d« mane, and more desire is evinced to sell at 15s to 15s Gd. COCOA.—The inactivity in the market for West India has further increased, and supplies continue large, es pecially of inferior sorts. There are sellers rather under former rates, but few buyers are to be met with. At public sale 556 bags of Grenada were nearly all taken iu at 36s to 438, and 50 bags 25 barrels Trinidad at 37s to 40s for low to middling grey. The deliveries for home trade purposes are, however, still larger than the former year, but the stock is heavier. There aro few buyers of Foreign, and sellers are ready to accept the low rates of 25s to 27s per cwt. COFFEE.—To, day Coif.- e met with little attention for home-trade purposes or shipping, end former rates were barely obtained, although the supply was less than in the early part of the week. At public sale 172 casks 182 bags Planttition Ceylon were sold; middling at 57s to 58s, low middling 50i to 53-i, other sorts 39 s 6d to 49s 1, pea berry 48s to 635. There are not sellers of good ordinary Native under 39s per cw t. nA.-- Only a limited demand continues to exist for good and fine Congou, and sellers are willing to accept rather lower, rates, but ordinary and medium kinds continue in excellent request, and realised fully former terms ; there is also not a better supply. It is difficult to purchase c immon clean under 9id ,per lb. For Green the market has a quiet aspect, and most sorts can be purchased upon rather lower terms, as supplies continue to extend. Scented Teas cannot be quoted cheaper, but less (It mind exists. Rrcz.—Tc-day at public sale 3,212 bags of Bengal Rico were for the most past sold at stiffer rates; making the advance for the Week 6tl per cwt, good white realised 9, 61 to 103. The bankrupt Edward Nairne was described on the fiat as a stockbroker, who carried on business at No. 2, Warnford•court. This was the day fixed for the last examination. Mr. Hilleary, of Fenchurclnstreet, was solicitor for the assignees, and Mr. Plews appeared for the bankrupt. Mr. HILLEARY wished to call the attention of the Court to the facts of this most wicked case. The debts and liabilities were about 35,0001., whilst the assets were comparatively insignificant. The bankrupt had not surrendered, but was, he believed, at this moment enjoying himself at Boulogne on his wife's fortune, which amounted to 6001. a year. He would mention a few instances of the bankrupt's conduct. A gen tleman whose name it was at this stage of the pro ceedings useless to mention had, two months previ ously to the issue of the fiat, handed over to Nairne 4,500/. tbr the purchase of Great Western Railway shares. The bankrupt duly advised the gentleman that the shares had been purchased, but it turned out that not a single pound's worth was bought, and the money was wholly lost. A second case was where a clergyman residing in a rural district had forwarded 1 8001., with directions to Nairne how to invest it. The bankrupt wrote to say that the money had been invested, and actually paid the dividends from time to time, but it now appeared there had been no investment whatever. A third case was where a retired publican, named Spurgin, had sent him 1,6001. to be invested in Exchequer-bills. It seemed that Nairne did make the purchase. Spurgin having been so advised, wrote to Nairne to say that his residence was on Hounslow-heath—a lonesome unprotected place, and that, as he did not wish to keep such an amount of property there, he would feel ob liged by the bankrupt depositing it in the public chest in the Royal Exchange. In a day or two the bankrupt wrote to say that he had done so, snd Mr, Spurgin rested content that his money was safe. It was now clear that the bankrupt had converted thoee public securities into money for his own use, There was a fourth case still more grievous and distressing than any. A tradesman, residing in Isling ton, had placed in his hands 2,500/.—the hard earned savings of 3ears. The money had all disappeared. The whole of the assets to meet this heavy amount of debts and liabilities were 1,2001; 400/. of that sum was obtained from the sale of furni ture, and 8001. in this way :—At 11 o'clock in the day the petitioning creditor came to ask his (Mr. Ililleary's advice as to what steps he ought to take for the recovery of his claim. He (Mr. Hilleary) at once advised the issue of the fiat. At one o'clock the fiat was issued, and before closing hour at the banks 8001. at Nairne's banker's was impounded and placed in the hands of the official assignee. The bankrupt, having duped as many as he could, and done all the mischief in his power, set off to Boulogne, where he had since re mained, probably laughing at the credulity of his creditors, and making merry upon their honest gains. Vills such a person to go unpunished ? Was a petty larceny to be dealt with according to the rigour of the law while such transgressors as the bankrupt, by merely taking a passsge in a steam-boat and passing over to France, might laugh to scorn those whom they had so grosily defrauded ? But there was another incident in this case worthy of mention. The bankrupt had a clerk named Beaton. It appeared tliat a few days previously to the issue of the fiat the bankrupt had transferred 2,0001. to his account at a different banker's from that at which he (Nairne) transacted business. Beaton went several times to Boulogne, and finally the 2,0001. was disposed of in mere stock transactions on the Exchange—" differ ences" as they were called, for which there was no consideration, and in which no money passed. Was not the state of facts to which he had drawn theatten tion of the Court, and which he was prepared to sub stantiate by undoubted evidence, of a most grave and serious nature, and was such a person to be dealt with as an unfortunate and honest debtor ? It would be a disgrace to the law if there were not heavy and signal punishment for such misdeeds. There was one fact obvious. The bankrupt was entrusted with the money of others to deposit in a particular manner. He violated the trust and applied the money to his own private uses. There was another fact apparent also. The bankrupt owed between 30,000/. and 40,0001, and at present the assets were only adequate to the payment of 9d. in the pound. Nairne had set the law at defiance, for he had not surrendered to his fiat. Now, the main body of the creditors, whom he represented, were of opinion that this was a case which ought to be thoroughly sifted and exposed, and they were willing to forego their share of the assets in order to prosecute the bankrupt, and, by punishing him, deter others from pursuing so unworthy a course. He agreed with them, and asked his Honour to assist him to the utmost of his ability in bringing this offender to justice. Mr. PLEWS said he believed the bankrupt would surrender. The COMMISSIONER said it was the best course he could pursue. Mr. BLAXLAND, a solicitor, called his Honour's attention to the system which prevailed upon the Stock Exchange, and hoped this case, and the publi city it acquired, would show the public the necessity of exacting their accounts from stockbrokers upon the settling day, instead of allowing them to be " carried over," as had been done in this case. Had his client, the person to whom Mr. Hilteary had alluded, in sisted upon his scrip of Great 'Western shares on the settling day, he would not have been defrauded in the manner he had been. A proclamation of outlawry was made against the bankrupt, and a day was fixed for the further hearing of the case. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates.) __. Yesterday morning the Court sat at'the Westminster, in pursuance of the provisions of the Act of Parliament, for the purpose of disposing of what are denominated " Westminster " cases. Of these cases, however, there happened to be but one, and so the Court, in due course, then proceeded to try the cases from Clerkenwell which were still un disposed of. A marine store dealer of the name of Browne, whose shop is in New Montague street, in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel, was placed at the bar under the circumstances which are now detailed. On the previous day Joseph Gage and James Payne were indicted for having stolen a number of pewter pots. Gage pleaded Guilty, but Payne said Not guilty. The cases of theft were all clearly established against the prisoners by one of the police force, who stated that when he had apprehended Payne, a week subsequently, he found upon him 181 b. weight of pewter in a melted state. The man accounted for having such a large quantity of pewter in his posses sion by saying that it was the property of his master, Mr. Browne, of New Montague-atreet. The evidence for the prosecution having been brought to a conclusion, Mr. PAYNE, on behalf of the prisoner, said that the jury would find, supposing his instructions to be cor rect, that the police had made a mistake as to the man for whom he appeared, for he should call several wit nesses, all of whom would distinctly state that he was not near the public-houses from which the pots were alleged to have been stolen at the time alleged. The Learned Counsel then called Browne, who in the outset said that the pewter which had been found upon Payne, who was in his employ, was his, and not the man's. He had sent him out to sell it, as he wanted to make up a particular amount of money that evening. He had known the man for about eighteen months, and he could give him the best of characters as respected his honesty. By the COURT—The shop he kept was that of a general dealer. He sold all sorts of things. li e dealt in anything, indeed, by the purchase or sale of which he could gain a profit. He was a bookseller, and kept a novel library, but he called himself a general dealer. . _ . The Learned JUDGE- 1 shop, is it not ? Browne, with some hesitation—Yes; and amonly,s the articles he dealt in were old iron, nails, bones, rags old lead,--- A marine store-dealer's' The Learned JUDGE—And old pewter too, do you not ? Browne, with increased hesitation, admitted, that old pewter was one of the articles in which he usually dealt, if it came in his way. As to this particular pewter, he had bought it in the customary way, hut he did not buy it of Payne. Payne had worked for him something like 18 months, and he was a strictly honest man. The other witnesses having been examined, The Learned JUDGE left the case for the considera tion of the jury, who returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned JUDGE said he had not the least doubt but that the evidence the witness Browne had given had been one series of perjury. That witness either bad not known Payne for the time he had stated, or, if he had, he must have been well aware that he had been convicted of felony. Browne sAid he had 'never heard of the conviction before. The Learned JUDGE toll Browne he did not believe him. lie was not quite certain but that he ought to cause him to be prosecuted for perjury. He had not the slightest doubt that the man Payne had been in this man's service by selling to him, for trifling sums, old pewter and any other articles he might have possessed himself of. These marine store shops were great encouragers of thieving, for without their existence such men as the prisoner, as well as man y others, would have no means of disposing of the things they might steal. He should give directions that this shop which Browne kept, slaould be closely George Russell (34), of the city police, said, in consequence of information which I received from Watson, I went to the house of Kight, the British Coffee House, in Blackfriars-road. I told him a stolen 201. note ha 1 been traced to his possession, which he had paid to a Mr. Tu!loch, of 171, Shore ditch, grocer, on the 14th of September. He said he had done so, and I told him he need not answer any questions, but that I was a police officer, and would ask him where he got it from ? He said he had it from a person named David M'lntyre, a fighting man; that he had let M'lntyre have 2/. on the note, and that there was 45. besides. I asked him how he gave Mclntyre the 21. He said, that 30e. was a bet upon a fight, and 10s. was for attending at a police court to bail his wife out; 2s. Gd. he had lent him the night before, and ls. Gd. for re freshments, and that he owed M'lntyre 16s. on ac count of the change of the note; that M'lntyre went with him to his grocer's to get the note changed, but stopped outside, where he was seen and spoken to by the grocer's porter ; that M'lntyre stopped at a beer shop in the road, opposite the Eastern Counties Rail way ; that the name of " 'Watson" was on the note, and that M'lntyre had written some name on the left side of it; but that at first he was going to write underneath the name of Ilratson, but left off writing there and commenced writing at the left hand side of that name; and this morning Hugget, the officer, and I went again, and Kight took us to M'lntyre and pointed him out as the man who had given him the note. M'lntyre denied all knowledge of the note, and we took them both into custody. Kight said he had given the money he had received from Mr. Tulloch to I\l'lntyre. Mr. Wontner—Have you found in the course of your investigation into this matter that what Kight told you was correct ? Witness—Yes. Mr. J. R. Bushby, clerk to Messrs. Jones Loyd and Co., bankers, produced a 51. note of the Banbury Bank, which had been paid in by Messrs. Roberts and Co., at the counter, on the 26th of September. " Tuiloch, Shoreditch," was written upon it, and under that was the name of " David M'lntyre, Sep tember 14, 1849." Russell said, that another of the notes paid away by Mr. Tulloch, in change fur the 201., was traced from banking-house to banking house, till it was at last traced to Tattersell's. Mr. William Tulloch, of 171, Shoreditch, grocer, said, on the 14th of September Kight called and paid me an account of 3/. 2s. with a 201. note. This is the note, and this is my writing upon it. I gave him two il. Bank of England notes, and a Banbury Bank note for Si. I made Kight put his name to it, and I paid it into the London and Westminster Bank. Mr. Wontner—Do you not know that Mr. Kight is a very respectable man ? Witness—l have no reason to think otherwise. He has always settled his accounts with me punctually. The LORD MAYOR, remanded the case till Friday. His Lordship accepted bail for Kight, himself in a surety for 100/., and two sureties for 50/. each, but refused to take bail to any amount for M'lntyre. GUILDHALL. George Quantock was brought up on a warrant, charged with obtaining manufactured goods to the extent of 30/. 10s. 31, the property of Mr. Lee, to bacco manufacturer, under false pretences. Mr. Warrand, a solicitor, said that, perhaps before calling his witnesses it would be better to give a short statement of who and what the prisoner was. He was only the previous day discharged at the Insolvent Debtors Court, after suffering over two years' impri sonment; and the Commissioner, when releasing him, said that it was with great regret the Court had been imposed upon to grant any relief from the funds with which it was entrusted, to enable him to come up for his discharge, as there was no doubt but that he was nothing better than an itinerant swindler. In his schedule he was described as George Quantock laßatna Battle-bridge, e -übd e r di r de o gr 3 s ' ei don, eiKd g e i, a ns b . yr e o t os - sr7k a s ih k i in e r r een ; ; (commonly k nown as G eorge W ood), of St. John's geandSlaacllseo, Goat-street, Swansea, provision dealer • George Lock, grocer, Market-street, Romsey, liampshire; draG G pee e ro ore Lock, George Self, grocer and provision dealer, at Gains borough, Lincolnshire, and Hanley, in Staffordshire ; George Turner, of the firm of George and Jas. Turner, at Acton, in Middlesex, grocers and drapers ; George Quinn, candlefactor, and dealer in soap ; G. Slade, Haywood, near Manchester, grocer, draper, &c. , Lloyd, Wood, and Co., grocers, drapers, dealers in snuff; tobacco, toys, &c., of Whitchurch, in Hereford shire ; of Waterhouse-lane, Hull, Yorkshire, cabinet maker; again as grocer and dealer in almost every thing at Selby; and finally of 146, Old-street, St. Luke's, Middlesex, out of business and out of employ. It appeared that he had swindled persons to the amount of some thousands of pounds under seven different names, which be had changed again eleven times. He never stopped in one place more than six months, and never paid any rent, but disap peared suddenly, leaving debts to a large amount at every place which he visited. It would appear that in the present case the prisoner called on Mr. Lee, and made certain representations, besides giving two re ferences (one of them being the swindler Wright, who was lately tried at the Old Bailey and trans ported), which appeared to be satisfactory, and the goods were supplied ; but Mr. Lee, on making in quiries, found that there was no such firm as Lloyd, Wood, and Co., Northchurch, Berkhampstead, and he had never seen the prisoner until he met him in the Insolvent Debtors' Court the previous day, when, upon his discharge, he was taken into custody on the present warrant. Mr. Morris Lee, of 34, Holborn-hill, tobacco manufacturer, said in the latter part of the year 1846 the prisoner called at my warehouse, and stated that he had a grocery and drapery establishment at North church, Berkhampstead, and he was doing a large business in the cigar and tobacco line. He wanted a list of prices, which I gave him, and he then said he would not make a large purchase, as he had a partner to please as well as himself, but would take some 51. er 6/. worth of general assortments, and would write me from their place of business at Berkhampstead. About a fortnight after, the prisoner called again, and said he would buy a certain description of goods, and gave two references, o n e b e i ng i n some cour t o ff Fleet street, and the other being a Mr. Wright. Aldermaa GIBBS—Did you go to referees ? Mr. Lee—l applied to Mr. Wright, and from all appear ances everything seemed respectable. Alderman Gies—Where did Wright live ? Mr. Lee--I can't exactly recollect, it is so long ago, but I think it was in St. John's-wood. The prisoner called again, and gave me an order to the amount of 161. 17s, 3d. Alderman GIBDS—When the first order was given what directions did he give ? Mr. Lee —He told me they were to go by the carrier, Bell, Warwick-lane, addressed " Messrs. Lloyd, Wood, and Co., Berk hampton," and showed me a bill bearing the name of such a firm, at the bottom of which it stated that -. 1 1 CLERK ENWELL. Four powerful-looking Irishmen, who gave their names Shean, Kelly, Grogan, and Farrell, and said they were employed as miners on the Great Northern Railway, Llington, were charged with the following daring outrag:?. : On the previous night, about half-past nine o'clock, the prisoners, with two other Irishmen who had been at work in a tunnel forming on the London and York Railway, Copenhagen-fields, were leaving the works, when a gang of English navvies called out, " Hallo, Pat ! which way does the bull run ? There goes the b— Irish !" which exasperated the prisoners, and they made an attack upon the parties, and running in every direction they fought at, and knocked down, everybody indiscriminately, by which they were much injured. Mr. William Woods, a warden attached to the Model Prison, was walking arm in- arm with his wife, having a bundle under his arm, along the Chalk-road, when the prisoner Shean rushed at him, and felled him down in a state of insensibility, and an attempt was made to steal the bundle. Mrs. Woods proceeded to her husband's as sistance, whence she was knocked down and mal treated. The prisoners continued their violence on numerous unoffending passengers until the arrival of a body of policemen, headed by Walter, an active officer of the N division, who succeeded in apprehend ing the prisoners and locking them up, after consider able resistance and violence. Mr. Woods, whose face elibited marks of vio• lence, gave evidence as to the prisoners' wanton and brutal conduct, and identified Shean, Kelly, and Crogan as being the ringleaders, but Farrell was said to have interfered to prevent the violence upon Mr. and Mrs. Woods. M:s. Ellen Woods, the wife, gave confirmatory evidence, which was also corroborated by numerous witnesses. John Walter, 22 N, deposed that he received in formation that several persons had been nearly mur dered by some Irishmen in the Chalk-road, Islington. fie prcceeded there, and, with assistance, apprehended the prisoners. The prisoners, in their defence, said they were leaving their work peaceably, when some excavators insulted them and called them b Irish. They did not deny having retaliated, when they were pelted with brickbats and injured severely. They attacked Mr. and Mrs. Woods by mistake. Walter said that, when he apprehended the pri soners, Kelly said, " We were only having a lark, and trying our hand to clear the road, which we can can do if we like, and we made all fly before us." He (Walter) had received information that other persons had been dreadfully maltreated, and one gen tleman, residing at Mile-end, had been seriously at tacked and robbed, but he had not had time or op portunity to make inquiries or bring him forward. Mr. ARNOLD said, he never heard of a more vio lent and cowardly outrage. The prisoners might consider themselves exceedingly fortunate that the charge of attempting to steal Mr. Wood's bundle had ❑ot been sufficiently substantiated against them. As it was he should inflict the extreme penalty of the law upon the prisoners Kelly, Shean, and Crogan, against whom there was proof of assault. It was necessary that examples should be made, and this was an instance fit for such a course. There was not a sufficiency of evidence against the prisoner Farrell, and he should discharge him, but he would convict the other three prisoners in the extreme penalty of 51., and in default of payment, two months' impri sonment with hard labour in the House of Correction. The prisoners could not pay the penalties, and they were conveyed to prison. THAMES. Hugh Johnson, a mariner, was brought before Mr. Ingham, on remand, charged with feloniously utter ing a seaman's advanced note for the payment of 61., and an allotment note for the payment of 21. per month during his absence at sea, purporting to be signed by " Thomas Chapman," with intent to de fraud Sarah llesford, a sailor's boarding-house keeper, Of 24, Dean-street, Shadwell. Mr. INGHAM committed the prisoner for trial. SOUTH W AI?K. ' Michael Bryan, a tall, thin young man, was brought before Mr. Seeker, charged with attempting to plunder a vessel lying in the Thames. Thomas Hodder stated that he was master of the ship Vulcan, lying off Bermondsey-stairs, and that about one o'clock that morning he was awoke by hearing a noise on deck over the state room. He immediately got out of bed, and going on deck saw the prisoner, who, finding that he was observed, ascended the shrouds to avoid detection. He (corn • plainant) called out " Police 1" upon which a Thames galley, manned by an inspector and several police men, came alongside. The prisoner then descended from aloft, and, perceiving that he had no chance of escaping ashore, he jumped off the deck into the mud, which was upwards of five feet in depth alongside the vessel, and made towards the landing place. He, however, made but little way, but still struggled, and i n hi s e ff or t s t o esca p e f rom th e police he got completely immersed in the mud, his head and every part of bis body being under neath, and for some time it was supposed that his fate to be smothered was inevitable, the men in the galley being out of reach t o ass i st hi m , an d no one ven t ur i ng in after him, fearful of the consequences. At length, however, the prisoner, by a desperate effort, forced his way through the mud, and, from exhaustion, fell near the stairs, where he was secured and immediately conveyed to the nearest station-house, more dead than alive, and a medical man having been employed, and restoratives administered, the prisoners soon recovered. Inspector Falconer, of the Thames police, who was present on the occasion of the narrow escape from suffocation the prisoner had, said, that he had known him for a long time as a dishonest character, and that he had only been liberated from gaol three weeks ago after suffering three months' imprisonment. That the prisoner told him that morning that since his dis charge from the gaol he had been starving about, un able to obtain any kind of work, and he confessed that he had gone on board the Vulcan to steal what ever he could lay his hands upon. The inspector added that, in consequence of the prisoner's immersion in the mud, on being carried to the station-house he was seized with cramps a ll over hi s b o d y, an d t h at had not immediate steps been taken cholera would have set in, and probably terminated in death. The prisoner saint that ha bad no means of living, and that to send him to gaol would be an act of mercy to him. 1. 1 1;e MAGISTRATE then committed him to the House of Correction for three months. Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial-office, for the Governors of Canada, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland. 'BANKRUPTCIES SUPERSEDED.

ENLIGHTENED JUILYMEN.--A bout a week since, in a neighbouring village, an inquest was held upon the body.of a poor man. Now it often happens that after the business has been ended and the coroner left, the " gentlemen of the jury" discuss the " matters in ques tion," at the same time inhaling the contents of some three or four glasses of foreign spi r it s , an d metamor phosing a certain foreign weed into ashes. In this last state of unalloyed happiness sat these verdictorians— glorious sons of Bacch us--when w e en t ere d th e room; and having an interest in the cause of this man's death, we asked their verdict. One Jolly.faced man, very con tentedly puffing away at his long tube, asked ,his lef t hand friend if he recollected what " the krunner caw'd it," but he had forgotten. In succession eac h an d a ll were applied to, and in vain. But suddenly a light of inspiration seemed to suffu se the fa ce o f t h e j o ll y gentle man aforesaid, and he instantly replied, " Aii know neaw; it wur a Latin word the krunner caw'd it." T his satisfied all present, ourselves Inclusiv e . Afterwards we were passing through the village, and heard ono man ask another what the verdict was. " Whah," he says, " it's a quare word; ah think they cawn it crirn. con. or else sine die."—tViiian Times. APPLES.—In ICl"ormandy and Brittany th e a ppl es used for cider are in extraordinary abundance. In the memory of man the trees were never seen so abundant. The farmers have been obliged to fix props repeatedly under the branches to enable them to support the heavy weight of fruit that bends them to the earth. The cider crop will, in most places, be twice or three times more abundant than in ordinary years. Seiers.—To day at auction 21 cases of Clover were sold at Is 5d to is 9d for Penang; 14 hoXes of Cayenne Pepper 61 to 10id; 400 bees of Bengal Ginger, ship ping sort, 23s to 23s 64; and damaged 20s 6d to 225; 489 bags and 16 cases of rough Malabar 28s to 295; 730 bags Malabar Pepper 2id to 3 / 1d per lb.

Holders of Nitrate of Soda exhibit firmness, and sales to a fair extent have been made at 12i to 12s 64 per cwt. COCHINEAL.—AIthough the supply at market has beau large this week, still fall rates have been obtained, indeed the best sorts of silvers realised a small ad vance.

The market is quiet for Spanish, and a small parcel at public sale went at 3s 8d to 3s 104 for good fibres. SPIRITS.—A good business has been concluded in East India Rana this week, but at the moderate rate of Is 3d per gallon proof, and low quality at is 2id. Holders of Leeward Island went up to is 4d to Is sd, still only a moderate trade has been concluded, and there is a fair supply. For Demerara the market is in a quiet state,and sellers are ready to accept is 10d to 2s 2d ior2li to 40 over, and a further fall in the value is expected to take place. The business concluded in Jamaica has been small for all purposes, still holders are not dis posed to make any further concession in the value.

Beans, peas, and oats, short supply and slow sale, at late rates.

GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN.—The follow ing appears in the Corh Constitution:—" The works consequent on the boring of the tunnel from Spring- Line to the Glanmire-road are suspended, all the hands engaged on this portion of the works having been dis charged on Saturday evening. No further reason for this proceeding is given than that the directors are desiruus, for a couple of years, to test the traffic t ntering and leaving the city by the temporary station at Black pool, before they proceed further with the expensive works consequent on opening the tunnel, and erecting a permanent station on Penrose's-marsh, adjoining the river Lee. It is said that the line will be opened to Blackpool on the 15th of next month, when the direc tors propose giving a ball and supper at the Corn Ex change to fifteen hundred. It is understood that; his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant and the Countess of Clarendon will accompany the directors from Dublin on the occasion, and honour the ball with their pre sence." The Cork Reporter says:—"ln reference to the above paragraph, we regret to learn that the cause assigned by the Great Southern and Western It-ilway Company, for the stoppage of the works at the tunnel, is—what they term the vexatious opposition they have received at the hands of the Wide street Board, in claiming a roadway directly through the railway terminus. Surely some means of arranging t'ais matter could be arrived at by arbritration, so as not to have so many hundred individuals as were employed turned adrift, and the completion of the line, which will be of such importance l t lh o ree C ni o a r ro l e t r , tah p i r ai etpyypeyinntteotdh.announce T this ci tys that al s- during ghtaE m h s er n ip o na t Es a t vi c r e s .e— g k ed one p er d ay.
