(Before the LORD CHANCELLOR, at his private residence.) IN RE EDWARD VICARS, AN ALLEGED LUNATIC. This was a petition of Hannah Vicars, of Liverpool, s pinster, a sister and one of the next kin of Mr. Edward Vic irs (the alleged lunatic), setting forth that the said E lward Vicars, ofiLiverpool, wine and spirit merchant, now is, and for some time past has been, so far deprived of bis reason and understanding that he is rendered al. to:.;ether unfit and unable to govern himself, or manage his utlairs; and praying that a Commission in the nature of a writ LunAico lnquirendo might issue to inquire of the alleged lunacy of the said Edward Vicars. Mr. Bolt, Q.(1., and Mr. Renshaw appe,;red J o behalf of the petitioner; and Mr. Malin s, Q.C., and Mr. ilitie represented the alleged lunatic. Mr. Edward Vicars, the alleged lunatic, is 46 years of age, and the sou of a small farmer and cloth manufac turer in Eskdale, near Whit,haven, who recently died at the advanced age of 80 and upwards. The alleged lunatic served an apprenticeship to a spirit dealer at Broughton-on-Earn Sc, in the county of Larcaster; and eveatu lly, in the month of January,lB3s, went in' o partnership with his blether, Mr. Matthew Vicars, and Mr. Jahn Newby Mecre, as soda- water menu factu:ers, distillers, and wile-merchants, at Liver lino!. This partaership continued un'il 1845, dur ing the whole of w hich time Mr. Edward Vic as ac:e I as, traveller for the firm. In 1844, from the ex• citing life be had ben leading for sornt , years, which comp:lied him to live somewhat freely - , his health gave way; he WAS seized with delirium tremens, and having also had some domestic diff,rences with his wi'e, he withdrew from the active part he had taken in the buil nest of the firm, and retired into the country, at a place called Holken Ground,:near Bzotti., , htor,- ,n-Furnes-, a:few miles from his father's house, where, in the latterend cif 1816, ho had another att , iek of delirium tremens, from which, however, he shortly recovered. In February, 1847, he bad ngain a still mei e st va:e attatkiwhich r. as ot 1 )nger duration, and as he was then much excited and suffered under certain delusions, he was, under the advice of a Mr. Atkinson, his medical attendant, removed to the Walton Lodge Lunatic Asylum, near Liverpool, whence he con trived to escape on the 19th of March last, and has con- tinued at large ever since. Mr. ROLT, in support of the petition, read the affi davit of Mr. Joseph Churton, a surgeon of Liverpool, who deposed that he had known the alleged lunatic for fifteen) }ears, end had bean his medical attendant. On the 25th of February, 1847 be, at the request of Mr. Matthew Vicars, his brother and partner, visited Mr. Edward Vicars, for the urpose of inquiring into the state of his mind, and found him labouring under strong mental delusions, amongst others, that he (the alleged lunatic) had no stomach or intestines. Mr. Churton then certified that he was of unsound mind, and upon that certificate he was taken and incarcerated in the Walton Lodge Lunatic Asylum, conducted by Dr. Lich field. On the 17th of January last Mr. Churton was again called in to visit the al!eged lunatic, and found him labouring under mental delusions, the most conspicuous of which was, that electricity was a powerful agent in the production of insanity, that such agency was exercised upon himself by the magistrates and other design ing people without the asylum, aided by those within, for the purpose of keeping him in state of lunacy, so as to justity his deten tion in the asylum. A great number of affidavits to the same effict wero read by Mr. Rolt, from which he contended that, in February, 1847, when he was taken to the lunatic asylum, the alleged lunatic was not of sound mind. Mr. MALINs said he shou!d not dispu`e that. Mr. ROLT said, undoubtedly the delusions, such as they were, of the alleged lunatic, had been very much modified by the treatment of Dr. Lichfield, but still they continued to some extant, and to such ex tent that his partners could not deal with him in reference to the affairs of the partnership, or to its dissolution, and that he could not be entrusted with the management of his own fortune, now very considerable, arising out of the prosperous state of the firm of which he was a member. The partners of the alleged lunatic had offered that if he could produce cer tificates of his sanity by two eminent physicians, be tween whom there was no concert, they'would at once treat with him with a view to dissolve partnership, and divide with him the capital and profit of the concern. Mr. Bassieusw followed on the same side. He con tended that the affidavits showed a very strong animus on the part of tho alleged lunatic towards lunatic asy lums, and that it was impossible to say what that delu sion might drive him to do. The assassin, M‘Naughten, believing that the Government of the country bad per . scented hire in some way, was driven to take away the life of Mr. Drummond, whom he mistook for the Prime Minister. It was idle to say that the alleged lunatic, Mr. Edward Vicars, was now a perfectly >oii!d and sane man. kii•Naghtan was remarkably mild at home, in the bosom of his family, who had no idea that he laboured under any delusion, and see the awful catastrophe which resulted from his going at large. The business in which Mr. Vicars, the alleged lunatic, was a partn• r, began in 1835, when each of the three partners subscribed a capital of 1,0001. That business had been eminently prosperous, and was now worth 16,000/. Ought a man, subject to a delusion such as had been described, to have the entire control of his' property ? lie submitted that under all the circum stances the case was one which called for inquiry by a jury. The affidavit of Dr. Southey was read, who deposed that he had visited the alleged lunatic so recently as in July lest, and that on all ordinary subjects be was sane and capable of managing bis own affairs; but re specting electricity, and its powers of being applied in such a manner as to enable the keepers of madhouses to render their patients insane and to keep them in that state, he laboured under a delusion. The affidavit of Dr. Southey concluded in these words—"Now,although I am convinced that in his present state of mind it would be an act of cruelty to place Mr. Edward Vicars in any asylum, or, indeed, to interfere with his free agency, yet I am sorry to say that I would not assert my belief that ho is of perfectly sound mind, in consequence of the above stated delusion re specting electricity." The LORD CHANCELLOR said it would seem from Dr. Southey that a person may be of unsound mind, but yet capable of managing his own affairs. MALINS said he appeared for Mr. Edward Vicars, the alleged lunatic. In the early part of 1847 Mr. Vicars was undoubtedly of unsound mind. That was the result of excessive drinking, induced by his habits of life, he being the travelling partner of his firm—that of wine and spirit merchants, and compelled to drink with their customers. Though, in the first instance, he was p3rhaps properly enoue,ti confined in a lunatic asylum, yet his delusion speedily assumed so modified and harm less a form under the treatment he received there, that it amounted to a grievous and intolerable cruelty and wrong to keep him incarcerated there for a period of two y ears. In that place he was never visited by his friends or partners; they, on the contrary, stood care fully and coldly aloof, and never took any steps to ascertain .shat modifications his malady had undergone, or to procure his release from a place which be loathed and abhorred, and so to restore him to the bosom of his family and the world. This treatment, added to his on consciousness that he was perfectly able to ma nage his own affairs so excited and irritated his feelings as to induce a d egr e e of violence, i n which his original delusion was to some extent h merged and forgotten. It was under those feelings a,he had effected his escape from the asylum in l ar c h t th last; than h. and no sooner had he recovered his liberty deportment and vio lence left him, and his whole "' b retraent assumed that mildness and intell!genee c haracterized aforetime. The Lea - rnert e h r heol read s a voluminous mass of affidavits to prove e alleged lunatic's sanity since his release, into which our limits will not alkkm us to enter. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, independently of the question, vi leather the alleged lunatic was of unsound mind or not, there was the position in which he stood with regard to his property. Mr. MALINS said be understood the issue which the other side raised was that there should be two indifferent medical men to report on the state of his mind. The LORD CHANCELLOR was much disposed to nomi nate two indifferent medical men, but he did not bind the parties to it. It seemed to him that it would be much better for the alleged lunet;c if the partnership were put an end to. The delusions of the party had certainly been very coueh reduced , Ile (the Lord Chancellcr) had seen proof of_ a very great improvement ; that was borne out by all the medical men, except one. The weight, however, of THE SUN, LONDON, the medical testimony was, as to the degree of recovery, but as to there not being an entire re -1 covery, the evidence was very conclusive. Under all the circumstances, his Lordship directed a com mission to issue, and within a week, it the partics could prepare themselves. His Lordship also directed that the sum of 2001. was to be advanced out of the partnership estate to Mr. Bolden, the alleged lunatic's solicitor, to enable him to prepare and conduct his case on the forthcoming inquiry, Mr. Bolden undertaking to account for that sum in such way as the Lord Chancellor shall direct. AUSTRIA. Private letters from Hungary state that General Georgey entered Kashau on the 22d ultimo, after defeating General Sass at Jasso. General Paskie witch had experienced a check between Gy iingyos and Erlau, and been obliged to retire. The Hungarians found in Kashau 30,000 articles of military equipment. The corps of General Dem binski and Georgey were in communication, and the two Russian armies were cut off from their base of operation. The cholera was making frightful ravages in the ranks of the belligerents, and the Russians suffered greatly from the heat. It is now admitted by the Imperialists themselves that Paskiewitch has been completely out- generalled by Georgey, and that the opportune advance of Dem binski did not only prevent the Prince Paskiewitch from sending the bulk of his army in pursuit cf Georgey, but that General Haynau, ton, will be detained in the vicinity of Szegedin rnuch lon ger than is good for the success of the Imperialist arms; indeed, unless the Austrian commander Hay nau should happen to be reinforced by part of the great Russian army, that General is sure to find himself in a position still more perilous than that of Baron Jellachich. The Kolner Zeitung states that the fortress of Temesvar has surrendered to the Hungarians, who have like wise entered Semlin, the possession of which town makes them masters of the line of the Danube from Essegg to Orshol a, thus facilitating their commu nications with the Turkish empire and the city of Belgrade. Another report which is contained in the Kiilner Zeitung is that Prince Paskiewitch has been defeated by Dembinski's army at G3ortg3 os. No details whatever are given of the affair. The city of Molhatsh has been taken by the Hun garians. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. We have received accounts from Hamburgh to the 31st ult.

The .Rifornza of Lucca, of the 26th ult., publishes the reply of the Grand Duke to the addrea of the Deputies of Lucca. It was as follows: " I receive with satisfaction and gratitude the ex pression of the sentiments and loyalty of the population of Lucca, which certainly was not the last among the cities of Tuscany to co oprate in restoring the Constitutional Monarchy. The wishes you have expressed are in harm , my with mine, and I desire nothing more ar3ently than their realisation and the attainment of the end to which our common endeavours tend, namely, the interests, dignity, and the well-understood welfare and real advantage of our beloved Tuscany." The Genoa Gazette of the 28th ult. quotes the following letter from Arezzo, of the 25th : " A second column of Austrian troops, commanded by Gcneral Stadion, has just entered our town. List night the other column left in pursuit of Garibaldi, a portion of whose force has penetrated into the Pontifical States in the direction of Citerna. Garibaldi levied a contri bution of 1,000 scudi at Castiglione. He is now en camped on the hill of the Capuchins of Citerna, in Ro magna. His intention is to pr:,c;t>cd to Rimini."

BEES.—A correspondent of the Dumfries Courier says :—The present has not been what is called a great swarming season; but the probable quantity of honey, nevertheless, is all guess•wcrk. We have rarely seen a greater abundance of white clover in Borgne (par creel knee, the Hybla of Scotland); the recent mild but cloudy weather retards its withering. The bee•men of great experience say that in propitious seasons the finest of the honey i 3 gathered frem the middle of July to the begin nine of September. Early in the season honey is nearly as elk tx as spring water, bu', £uss( qlenly, by some in comprchen•ii,l2, ulchtml of industrious insect, it ac quires, not only a delicious iLvour, but the truly beau tiful sea-green hue. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ARCHES' COURT, Aug. 2. (Before Sir HEY.BERT JENNER FUST.) GORHAM V. THE BISHOP OF EXETER. The arguments in this case were concluded in the Easter term, and judgment was given to-day. The Learned JUDGE stated that this question con cerned the religion of the Church, and had excited therefore more than ordinary interest in the public mind, besides imposing great responsibility upon him (Sir H. J. Fut). The case had been claiiiorately argued, and it was deeply to be regretted that any misunderstanding between a clergyman and his diocesan should ever occur. Toe facts of the case were—that Mr. Gorham had been presented by the Lord Chancellor to the living of Sc. Just in January, 1340, and in cont , equence of the testimonials of which Mr. Gorham was possessed, the Bishop did not think it necessary to examine him. Subsequently Mr. Gorham was presented by the Lord Chancellor to the living of Bampton Spoake, in the county of Devon. This was in November, 1847. Mr. Gorham wrote to the Bishop, and several letters passed bete eun him and Mr. Barnes, the secretary of the Bishop. Whether rightly or wrongly the Bishop sus pected that Mr. Gorlieon did not entertain sound doc trines on the subject of baptism; and after an exinnina lion of Mr. Gorham hid taken piste, the Bishop was of opinion that be did not entertain sound doetrines on the subject of bsptism. Upon his translatien to it e living of 13arnptor. Speaks, three bilet-lei - A clergy men certified to the Lord Chancellor that Mr. Gor ham entertained sound doctrines; and the testimonials of these three clergymen were forwarded to the Bishop, wh e after the examination of Mr. Gorham, etitlensed upon the testimonials that he was of opinion that Mr. Gorham did not entertain sound doctrines. Tee testi monisls were then forwarded to Mr. Gorham, and the Bishop communicated the circumstance to the Lord Chancellor, and his Lordship wrote to Mr. Gorham, sitting that he would still sign the fiat for the presenta tion, notwithstendirog what had been written by the Bishop, because he could riot take upon himself to give any opinion as to the doctrine of Mr. Gorham, and in doing so the Lord Chancellor had acted with pro priety, and upon that there could be no doubt whatever. Whether the Bishop exceeded his authority or exercised his discretion soundly, eas not fur the Court at present to enter into. It may be doubted whether he did net go somewhat farther than was usual, but be that es it might, Mr. Gorham wes subsequently examined on several days for a considerable period, and on the 20th of March, 1648, the Bishop delivered a ct rtificate to Mr. Gorham of unsoundet ss of doctrine, and the matter rested until June, 1848, when Mr. Gorham stated that he was willing to tnh.icribe the three articles rrqitired by the 36th canon, and a monition to that etre , :t was presented to the Court, and requiring the Court to admit Mr. Contain to the; living. The Bishop appeared by his Proctor te that monition, and both parties having been hoard by the Court, it now stood for its decision. As the case CAD , ' before the Court it was impossible for the Cous t to offer an opinion as to the manner in which the ex.:ruination of Mr. Gor- I ham had been conducted, or to decide whe'h•ir or not the doctrines he entertained were according to the doe trineA of the Church of England. On the part of the Bishop a book was laid before the Court whieticontained the doctrines of Mr. Gorham; that was a most iecoave nieut course, and left the Court to find its way through the book as it best could. The proceeding should have been by plea and proof instead of the course which had been adopted by the Bishop, and the same irregularity had been followed on the part of Mr. Gorham. In the petition of the Bishop the averments were loose and vague. In tie course of the discussion a question had been raised as to who was to be considered the originator of the proceedings, and on whom the enus prohandi Now, although Mr. Gorham was nominally the origi- Da' or, still Mr. Gorham had made out a prima facie case, which the Bishop was bound to answer; and the onus prohandi therefore lay upon the Pi , shop. Upon exami nation it appeared to the Bishop that Mr. Gorham held unsound duetrinea on the point of baptism, which I e did not consider to confer regetieratien, and the Bishop, therefore, refused to institute hien rind he had already decided that that was a ground of refusal to admit Mr. Gorham. Now in tie proceeding* the Court had not pointed out to it what the doctrines of the Church of England on that point were, and the Court was left to gather them for itself. Mr. Gorham stated that he had been a member of the University for eighteen years, and a priest of the Church since 1312, and had held livings in six several dioceses, and that was a prima facie case of qualification. The B:sbop maintained that in the c xa mination of Mr. Gorbera drat gentleman held unsound doctrines on the subject of baptism, and Mr. Gorham, on the ether hand, contended that he did rot do so—and en that point they were at issue. Both the charge and de • rail were, however, loose and vague. The particular doctrines which were unsound should have been specifi cally stated, and the answer would then have been spe cific also. He thought the Court had a right to com plain that the case had not been so specifically laid be fore it. The arguments of counsel had, however, thrown considerable light upon the points between the parties, and great learning and ability had boen displayed by the learned counsel on both sides. A good deal was said upon the conduct of the Bishop in requiring an examination at all; and it certainly was not a common course to pursue with respect to a gen tleman who was removed from one living to another in the same diocese, but such a course might be necessary, and instances of it had occurred. Mr. Gorham denied that the Bishop had the right to make the examination, and complained of the mode iu which it had been con ducted; but that was a matter in the discretion of the Bishop, and upon which the Court was not called upon to give any opinion, nor was it for the Court to deter mine whether there was a greater or lesser degree of courtesy shown on the one side or the other in the course of the examination. It was riot for the Court to give any opinion upon en expression attributed to Mr. Gor ham, as to whether or not the Church was the National Church, nor to expressions attributed to the Bishop with respect to Tractarianism in the course of his charge. The real question was as to the efficacy of baptism in the case of infants only, and had no relation to the question of the efficacy of baptism generally, or in the case of adults. But although that was the real point, still, in the examination the efficacy of baptism in the case of infants and in the case •of adults, had been so much mixed up, that it was difficult to separate them. He was not going to give an opinion upon the theological question, since that was not the duty of the Court—the duty of the Court was to ascertain what the Church had decided upon the point, and to be guided by that decision. The first question, therefore, was, whether or not the Church had pronounced any opinion upon the point? And that gave rise to a second ques tion, which was, how that was to be ascertained? Mr. Gorham founded himself upon the articles of the Church, and beyond that he would not go. L pon that, and that alone, he took his stand. The Learned Judge com mented at gnat length upon the questions put to and and answered by Mr. Gorham. The Bishop asks, " Doss our Church hold, and do you hold, that every infant baptised, by a lawful minister with water in the name of the F. , ther, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is made by God in such baptism a member of Christ, and an inheritor of the kingdom of Heaven?" " Does our Church hold, and do you hold, that such children, by the laver of regeneration in baptism are received into the number of the children of God, and heirs of everlasting life?" "Does our Church hold, and do you hold, that all infants so baptised are born again of water and the Holy Ghost?" To these questions Mr. Gorham did not give a direct answer, but refers to the thirty-nine Articles; and it was used in argument, that this was sufficient with the services performed. Mr. Gorham says:—" In reply to these propositions, being stated in the precise words of the Ritual Services, or of Catechism, undoubtedly must be held by every honest member of the Church • to con tain in these nothing contrary to the Word of God, or to sound doctrine, or which a godly man may not with a good conscience use and submit unto, or which is not fairly defensible--if it shall be allowed such just and favourable construction as is common equity ought to be allowed to all human writings, especially such as are set forth by authority ; " and said that the first impor tant point which was raised was, that Mr. Gorham was of opinion that in placing a construction upon the articles and formularies of the Church it was necessary to consider their meaning with reference to the °pillions of the Reformers by whom they were framed. Now all the writers who had been quoted went to say that the doctrines of the Church were to be found in the Thirty nine Articles alone; but if they were silent upon any point then they were to inquire to what authority they were to refer, end he found that Bishop Burnett laid it down that they were to refer to the formularies of the Church and the officers of the Church. Several other writers laid down the same doctrine. He thought that doctrine was the doctrine of common sense, and it was the doctrine laid down in a decision of Lord Brougham's in the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council ; they were not therefore to lay any stress or weight upon the opinion of any private individual, however eminent. He thought that by the 25th article no one could receive baptism efficaciously who had it not by worthy reception; and then they had to consider wh a t worthy rece pti on was, and the article said in was by faith and repentance; but young children could have neither faith nor repen tance at the time, although they might have them after wards. Mr. Gorham admits that children who die before they commit actual sin may be saved, but they must be regenerated by a prevenient :act of grace ; he denies that the regeneration is conferred by the act of baptism. After going through the whole of the service of bap tism, the Learned Judge said that what the child was to receive by it was spiritual regeneration according to the plain construction of the language used. He was of opinion, therefore, that Mr. Gorham was wrong in dis puting that regeneration was effected in and by baptism. Has then the Bishop shown sufficient cause for not in stituting him in the living of the Church. He (the Learned Judge) considered the Bishop had, and in consequence was entitled to be dismissed with costs. Notice of appeal was then given. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Inspector Mitchell, of the City Police, was summoned before Alderman Gibbs to show cause why he cbitained in his possession a gold watch, the property of Mr. John Inman. The circumstances were remarkable. Mr. De Jersey, who attended as solicitor to the com plainant, briefly stated the case, which was borne out by the following evidence: — Mr. John Inman, of No. 40, Cloth- far, said—On the 19th of July I purchased for 101. a gold watch, which was made by Messrs. Widenham and Adams, at the auction rooms of Messrs. Debenham and S!orr, in York • street, Covent-garden, to whom it appeared to have been sent as an unredeemd pledge, and I took it on the same day to the makers, in Lombard-street, to be repaired. I told Mr. Widenham that I should call again on Tuesday, and I accordh:gly d'd call, 7,11 d paid him 12s. for the repairs. 1; hen he handed me the watch, I asked him the value of it, and he said it had cost 35 pounds or guineas there. I ob served that at that rate I should not be a loser by it. He smiled, and I was on the paint of departing, when a • policeman (Storey) stood by my side antraeked me 1 where I got the watch. I told him where I had pur chased it, and what amount I had paid for it, and he then • informed me that it was stolen property and that I must accompany hire to the station-house. I went with him, considering myself to be in custody, and the charge was regularly enteted into. The watch was taken from me by Storey, and it was given by him to Inspector in whose possession it still remains, for it was never re turned to me. I had to go with him to Covent-garden, to Messrs. D.-benham and Stores, whence he took me to the shop of Mr. Attembarough, the pawnbroker, in Pim. lice. We then went to the house of Mr. Cubitt, in Bed ford-square, and then returned to the station-house in Bow-lehe, where I was diechaezed and told that I should hear from the police the following dey. lespnttor Mitchell here handed to Aldermen Gibbs the wetch which Storey bad taken from Mr. Inman, and plated in his possession in the course of his duty. Mr. Widiam B. S.'torr, cf the house of Debenhatn and Storr, auctioneers, of York street, Covent garden, said, —On the 19. h of July we sold a watch (lot 131) by public sale. It was a gold lever watch, made by Widen ham and Adams, and we received for it the sem of 101. It was the fourth day's sale of valuable forfeited and other property, as expressed in the catalogue. The watch care.' into our possession from Mr. Attenhorough, of Pimlico, as an unredeemed pledge, and we put the 10/. down to the credit of his account, In answer to questions from Mr. De Jersey, Mr. Store. said, " The money has not been paid to Mr. Atten boreugh. We cot inquire whether property is an un redeemed pledge or net. No ticket was produced. We have a list of the goods furaished by the pawabre her for sole—the original manuscript of the catalogue. Ido not know the watch. It irs marked es sold fur money, not by name and Mr. Debenleem sold it." George Lawes am in the employment of Mr. James Attenborough, pawnbroker, of Pimlico. I bought a watch of a lady on the 25_i of 11Lreh. I believe it to be the watch produced. It seas very much like this wand). Ido not like to swear :hat it is the same, but I believe it is. It was given over to the auctioneers in my presence. Mr. Atte nborough has it entered as pur chased for 71. He entered it, I having bought it for that sum. Sometimes I enter things in the bock. Mr. Attcnborcugh eves out at the time I made the purchase. Alderman GIBBS—Do you frequently purchase things in this way ? Witness—No, not frequently. We some times do. The catch was given to Mr. I)ebenham by Mr. Attenborough to be sold. _I should not think it wss given as an unreacemed pledge. It was given along with others which were unredeemed pleeges to be sold. They all go together inns catalogue headea " Forfeited goods, and other effects." lam n A aware that there was a re served price. Aldermen GIBBS—F, Om whom do you say you pur chased the watch ? Witmss—From a lady. Alderman GIBBS—New take care what you say. Have you seen any one sit ce about his watch? Wit ness—l have seen Mr. Cubitr's female servant since the inquiry was instituted. The inspector teok me to Mr. Cubist's house in Bedioid-squaro, and I there saw that gentleman and the servant girl. Alderman GIBBS—Ihd you seen that woman before? 'Witness—l firmly believe that I never saw her before. Never to my knowledge. Alderman Gezns—Was she the lady who sold you the watch ? Witness—No ; she certaicly was not. She was is perfect stranger to me. Alderman GIBBS—What were tie name and address of the ;ady who sold you the watch? Witness—She told me that her name was Courtney, and that she wanted to sell the watch for a friend of here, her late governess, Mademoiselle Charton, who was in distress, and she said her friend resided in "Lee River-lene," in Paris. Alderman GIBBS—What was the address of the lady herself ? Witness—She did not like to give her address, but she said she was a perfect lady. Aldermen GIBBS —Was there anything attached to the watch ? Witncss—Yes ;I believe there was a gold guard .chain attached to it. Alderman GIBBS—What became of that gold chain ? Witness—lt was sold with a miscellaneous lut of jewel lery to a jc.v. Alderman GIBBS—And the gold chain was included with the watch in the price of 71. ? Witness—Yes ; but I am not sure it was gold. Alderman GIBBS—Did you give the lady any ticket ? Witness—No. Mr. Lewis Cubitt, of Balford-square, brother to Mr. Cubbit!, M.P. for Andover, said, this watch belonged to my daughter Agnes. On the 26th of March she missed it, and we supposed it was lost, and I went on the fol lowing day to the watchmaker in Lombard-street, got an accurate description of it, and offered a reward of 5/. for its restoration. (Mr. Cubitt here real the descrip • lion, which agreed in every respect with the watch ) About five years ago it was purclia)efl 'by my brother, and presented by him to my daughter. I more particu larly identify it by the dial, which, being silver, became black, to alter which I got it gilt. We have had reason to suppose, since the witch was missed, that it was not dropped in the street, as was at first conjectured, for two or three thirg have been missed since. There was, at the time it was lost, a gold chain, about two yards in length, to which was appended a small chain, with a seal, for which I had. pai:l 8/. 17s. in Cornhill. Alderman GMBS—My impression is, that the conduct of Mr. Attenburough's assistant was anything but what it ought to have been, and that therefore Mr. Attenbo rough ought to sustain the loss; that the watch should be returned to Mr. Cubitt, and that Mr. Debeaham is bound to give up the ten pounds he received from Mr. Inman. I advise the parties to abide by that opi nion. It is my view of the question; but if those who are interested do not submit to such an arrangement, another course must be adopted. The solicitor who attended to watch the case for Mr. Attenborough declined, upon the part of his client, to Lccecle to such terms. Alderman GIBBS —Then I trust the case will be car ried as far as possible; and I shall grant any summonses which Mr. Cubitt may require for further investigation. Mr. De Jersey and a professional gentleman who at tended for Mr. Cubitt said that nothing could be more equitable than the view which the Alderman had taken of the whole transaction. Mr. Cubitt said, that when the officer (who had made extraordinary exertions in the investigation) brought Mr. Attenborough's assistant to his house in Bedford square, there was something very remarkable in the con duct of the latter. When brought into the room in which the suspected women was he held his hand before his face, and would not look towards her; and, upon being spoken to on the subject of her identity, he said that he bad instructions not to say a word unless Mr. Attenborough was indemnified from any loss. The idea of indemnification in such a case was, as a matter of course, altogether rejected; and the young man sidled cut of the room without once looking at the woman. Inspector Mitchell—Mr. Attenborough's assistant re fused to give us any name or any information we con sidered sit cessary. Alderman GIBBS—I agaia repeat that my advice to Mr. Attenborough ought to be taken by him. No answer baying been given to the Alderman, sum mouses vstre ordered to be issued, at the desire of Mr. Cubitt, requiring the attendance of Mr. Attenborough and other persons to give evidt.nce, and private direc tions were given to the inspector, in whose hands the watch is to be kept until the inquiry shall have assumed a still more serious complexion. LAMBETH. Henry William Dewhurst alias the Rev. Dr. Dewhurst, who was stated to be a clergyman of the Church of Eng land, was brought before the Hon. G. C. Norton for final examination, charged with stealing two blankets, two tumblers, and other articles, the property of Thomas Beavan, residing in the Lower Marsh, Lambeth, at whose house he lately lodged. He was also charged with obtaining money from a vast number of individuals all over the country by means of begging letters. Captain Hood, R.N., Secretary, and Mr. Parsons, Assistant Secretary to the Mendicity Society, were in attendance to watch the case, and Mr. Solomons de fended the prisoner. Mr. NORTON inquired of Romaine whether ho had any further evidence to offer besides that already taken down? Romaine replied in the negative. Since the last exa mination he had been to a number of places where the prisoner had lodged, and ascertained that be had robbed them all, but the persons declined to come forward. One woman who had promised to come forward had been robbed of a looking-glass, which the prisoner pledged for 28s. It had since been redeemed, and returned to her, and the Rev. Mr. Geary, of Salem Chapel, had engaged to pay that sum for the prisoner. The woman, conse quently. refused to appear. Mr NORTON remarked that since the last examination he had received an immense number of letters from all parts of the kingdom, which showed that he had carried on a great game, and had robbed everybody: The prisoner, (with some vehemence)—lt is all false. Mr. NORTON (holding up a large bundle of letters) — Do you mean to say these are all false? I have a letter from a banker at Wakefield, from whom you have ex torted money, and attempted to get more. Your letters to him were that you had published a religious work, and would forward it on receipt of the money. You have never kept your promise. The prisoner—l sent it, and if he did not get it, it is not my fault.: Mr. NORTON—They are principally clergymen from whom you have extorted money by your begging letters. You stated ip your communications that your wife was lying dead, and that you were suffering from ill-health, and that you merely wanted to raise a few pounds to purchase desks, stools, &c., to enable you to open a boys' school. Such is all a tissue of falsehood:, and made use of to carry on your nefarious system of plunder, under the assumed garb of religion. Prisoner—l am really suffering very acute pain from disease. Mr. NORTON—Yes, I have no doubt you are suffering from a swindling complaint.—(Laughter.) Prisoner (rather sharply)—That may be your opinion. Mr. NORTOV—I want to hold no conversation with you, as I have many letters before me that lam en tirely disgusted with your villanous conduct. The hanker whom I have alluded to have forwarded me three letters, supposed to be rent by your sons to his family. Now, I have no doubt they were written by yourself. I ha ve received a letter also from a solicitor in Bedford•square, attempting to extort money. Another letter had been sent to his mother, and whin he arrived at his office he feu; d two other letters, addressed to his partners, mak ing four beggine - letters to one family. Th ere was no end of lettere from all pens of the country since the ease had been reported in the newspapers, many complaining of books not being sent after forwarding to him the cash; and what disgusted them more than anything was the supsrscriprien being marked " private" and " tied nnpeid letters. Mr. Ferguson, of the Me.ndicity Society, it;ferna-d the magistrate that they had received u pwares of 200 letters from the country respecting the prisoner, and exposing his nefarious system. Mr. &lemons said that the letters had nothing to do wi , ll the present charge. The prisoner had acknow ledged pledging the articles, and had stated his intention of redeeming them. There was nothing to show false pretence, as many had received their books. __ _ Mr. NORTON--But a vast many have not, which you see by the huge pile of letters before me. lam really sorry I cannot punish him for the latter, although he has swindled a number of people all over the country. I have no doubt his hitherto thriving trade is now put an end to by the publicity given by the press. Mr. Solomons—l don't think it very thriving. Mr. NORTON-But I do. This week, since ho has been in custody, a sovereign has been sent to his lodg ings. Li the woman Mrs. Meavan in attendance, as I can punish him for robbing her? Romaine—She has been taken vtry ill with the cholera, end is not able to be examined. I have therefore sent her home in a cab. Mr. l'ConToN said that, as such was unfortuuately the case, he shouid not send him for trial, although he so richly deserved it. He could punish him uuder the P.twabrolters' Act by iiflicting a fine fur unlawfully pledging the prosecutor's property, but he would pay that: and be immediately set at liberty to carry on his begging system with impunity. He should, therefore, t,:ke advantage of the Police Act, by committing him to prison, with hard labour, for two months. 9 0 0 4 0 0 THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
