By accounts brought from America by the Colum bia steamer, we learn that Sir Charles Bagot has.pro rogued the Provincial Parliament of Canada to the 18th November, and that Mexico had recommenced war against Texas. Dr. Lardner was lecturing in Philadelphia, on the subject of the French Revolution.—A reward of two hundred dollars has been offered by the Governor of Illinois, for the apprehension of the celebrated Mormon prophet, Joe Smith, the blacksmith. All the Paris papers have been received but their contents are not important. The City of Rouen has expressed, through its legal representatives, its opinion on thegreat question which at present agitates French industry. The Chamber of Commerce has decided on a course by which it pro nounces unanimously against the project of a Cus toms' Union with Belgium. Count d'Arnim, the Prussian Minister, had an au dience on ThurSday of the King at St. Cloud, at which he presented to his Majesty.. letters from his Soveieign, announcing the marriage( of the Princess Maria, daughter of Prince 'William of Prussia, with the Prince Royal of Bavaria. A letter from the King of Bavaria to his Majesty Louis Philippe, on the same occasion, has been delivered by the Bavarian Charge d'Affaires to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. In a report made to the Governor-General from General de Lamm iciere, dated from the bivouac'of -Teneda, Oct. 13, the General relates a series of unimportant affairs, all of which, however, were of a nature to command the submisSion of the tribes which had resisted, and he annpunces the capture of a very large quantity of grain, not less, he says, that 40,000 quintals. Dwarkanauth Tagore was received by the King of the French on Friday.

The :King during the evening conversed very fully on the condition of India and the present state of Indian affairs, during which his Majesty displayed so intimate. an acquaintance with the subject as to excite the Bahoo's admiration. . . A. letter from ~ Madrid, Oct. 22, states that Don Francis de Paula has requested to be allowed to re turn to Madrid, but his request has not been Complied with. Weyse, a, celebrated musical composer, died re cently at Copenhagen, aged 70. PUBLIC OPXNION. The Timm, speaking of the recommendation of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to suppress the Welsh diocese of St. Asaph, says :--" We have been assured 'by benificed clergymen of the diocese of St. Asaph, that if anything at all is to be done in the pre sent condition of the diocese towards restor ing, throughout the people, the true principles and practice of the Church,—or; in the words of the Com missioners, towards promoting her efficiency, —it must and can be done only by the Bishops. The Welch poor, and among them even the most violent Dissenters, entertain less prejudice against the office and intervention &:aßishop, as being a scriptural office, than they do against any other point of Church prac • tice ; and when we see what has been effected, and in how short a time, by the ability, the diligence, and the zeal of Bishop Thirwall, we can well believe that the episcopal office, in every point of view and in ever y plate important, is in Wales the great instru ment by which the .efficiency of the Church is to be promoted and restored—the last and sole support of truth and unity." We quote the following from the Chronicle : " Heartily do we wish that we could induce our fel low-subjects of every grade, condition, and distinc tion in politics to drop for a brief space their party views and party predilections, and to look ' with a single eye' on that now really appalling question— the condition of the country. For assuredly the con dition of the country is peculiar : it is more, it is really alarming. The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.' The new Corn-law has done its worst, as well as its best, for this season. The new tariff is at work, doing more damage to minor tradesmen than good to the great bulk of the consumers, the cause of which is its main and mani fest omissions. The importers of foreign cattle are not gaining what our home graziers are losing. And though wheat has fallen so greatly in price, bread has not yet so diminished in price as to prove a, general boon to the community. Trade is paralysed, yet money is abundant. There is little speculation, yet the means of forcing speculation are said to be a drug in the market. The Post says :—" The address which has just been published from the Afagistrates of Tipperary to their Lord Lieutenant proves the gratifying fact that one year of firm Conservative Government—of a Govern ment whose object was not to conciliate a faction, but to administer the law to a nation—has effected what ten years of timid Whiggery, with all its flattery of the worst propensities of the rabble, all its tacit con nivance at treasonable projects, all its misapplication of patronage, and its general gaol deliveries could not accomplish, namely, the tranquillization of that county whose turbulence has been until now a stanoing re proach to the inefficiency of the law, and a corroding ulcer in the side of the sister country." MONEY-TRIIDE-COMIKERCE. At Bradford, Rochdale, and Wigan, trade during the past week has been brisk : at Halifax and ,Leeds there has been no improvement: at Nottingham busi ness is greatly depressed: and at Manchester the cloth market is lower than at any other period during the last four years. The schooner Friends, of Carlisle, with four hands on board, was wrecked and totally lost, with all its crew in the Solway Frith on the 21st. • 'ECCLESIASTICAL. The n'ew Bishop of Meath, Dr. Edward Stopford, is the third of the bishops of his family, who during its last three generations, have successively held the Bishopric of Cloyne. He is grandson to the Dr". James Stopford of whom such honourable mention is made in the letters of Pulteney, Swift, Gay, and Lord Bolingbroke. The amount already subscribed to defray the ex pense of restoring York Minster exceeds 5,500/. Lord Hotham, M.P., has transmitted a subscription of 1001. NAVAL AND VIIMXTARY. The last wreck of the Niger expedition has been extricated from the fatal river, and the people at the Model Farm, with the relics of the property, were brought to Fernando Po. LAW AND POLICE, From a Parliamentary return, showing the decrease of executions of late years, it appears that from 1828- 30 there were executed 52 criminals; from 1831-33, 12 ; from 1834.36, none. The first Commission of Lunacy, under the new statute, was held at the York-house Hotel, Bath, on Friday last, to inquire into the state of mind of Miss Isabella Cottrel, a lady many years resident in that city. A variety of aberrations of intellect were de posed to, and the Jury returned a verdict of " un sound mind since December 1841." :LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. The Rev. J. B. Morris, M.A.., of Oxford, has had adjudicated to him the prize of 2001., bequeathed by an unknown benefactor through the Bishop of Calcutta for the best essay in refutation of Hinduism. sr WELTING.

TUE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENIN.G, OCTOi3ER 31, 1842. CRIMINAL COURT.—(TBIS DAY.), OLD - COtil/Tr. (Before Mr. Justice Eitilifi4V TRIAL OF ALICE LOS E. As it was understood that the trial of this young woman, whose ease Ints attracted it-H.IA of public atteritiOn, Would positively take place this morning, the Old Court, Old Bailey, was crowded at an early hour, and amongst the earliest arrivals were several parties of ladies, of whom some (who were accom panied by their mothers) were of an age when modesty might be supposed to repress curiosity, by the nature of the disclosures to be expected. The prisoner, who was very much altered since her appearance in Marylebone police-office, and pow looked not less than twentyfive years of age, was placed at the bar at ten o'clock. She W2S described . in the calendar as follows :—" Alice Lowe, aged 19, spinster, charged with stealing two gold boxes, one watch-hook and pendant, two miniatures, &c., the property of Lord Frankfort, in his dwelling-house." Mr. CLARKSON (with whom was Mr. Bodkin) stated the case for the prosecution. The indictment was preferred against the young woman at the bar under circumstances which rendered his duty pecu liarly difficult, as they had brought forth upon Lord Frankfort remarks which he was sure the Jury would be convinced his Lordship did not deserve. It would be the privilege of his friend (Mr. Adolphus), who appeared for the prisoner, to do as he had done elsewhere, and to present to them Lord Frankfort as a person who deserved but little consideration. But if the Jury were satisfied that the Noble Lord when he was called before them .was speaking the truth (and he almost thought he should apologize for the suggestion), then they were bound patiently and dis passionately to discharge their duty, without any re ference whatever to the imprudence of the prosecutor, except in the matter which brought them together this day. He (Mr. Clarkson) should not condescend to address them on the character of the person who stood at the bar, but for what had been said of her in connexion with the prosecutor, and which rendered it necessary that the Jury should not be allowed to think that Lord Frankfort had added to his impru dence the abomination of having seduced an innocent girl from the paths of virtue: He knew that those who made those representations made them in error — Mr. ArioLruus—l see the scope of this. It is the intention of my Learned Friend to enter into some statement to repel something that has been said in the newspapers. But we are not met here to discuss what is said in newspapers, or in anything else, about the prosecutor or the prisoner, or about her previous life. Mr. Justice EasiiiNri--lf you suppose, Mr. Clark son, that anything which has appeared elsewhere is likely to make an improper impression here, there will be an opportunity to prevent that. But I did not understand you to make any reflections upon the prisoner's previous conduct. (A very unseemly noise of persons pushing and talking in the Court rendered a great part of what was said inaudible.) Mr. CLARKSON was obliged to his friend for the interruption. He would be the last person in the world to introduce observations prejudicial to the ac cused and irrelevant to the question before the Jury, and he would at once give way to the suggestion of the Court. But his friend would forgive him for putting the matter before the Jury in this way—that the young woman at the bar had been for some years past leading a life which was popularly called that of a gay lad DOy. M.r. A LPIIUS—Really this is not to be allowed. Mr. Justice ERSKINE—Mr. Clarkson, you know you cannot go on this way. We cannot take cogni zance of what may have been said out of Court. opal box, on which he could set no price whatever. It, was matchless.

He made her several presents whilst she was with him ; and supplied her with clothes. She did not leave the house with his knowledge the whole time. - Cross-examined by Mr. Abottittia—i am a mar ried man. I was married in 1835 ; that is, I havebeen married seven years, and have been separated from Lady Frankfort four years. She lives in Chapel street, Grosvenor-square. The house in which I lived at this time was not quite furnishes when the prisoner was there, but it now is. Three rooms were at that time furnished—the bed-room, dres sing-room, and drawing-room. My family consists of two servants—a house-maid and a boy. The boy is what is called a tiger, if you like, and the housemaid is cook and housekeeper as well—if you please, you may call her maid of all work. I have parted with them both since this affair occurred —about three weeks after Alice went away. I have not brought them here to-day. Ihave not brought here the girl Mitchell who was with the prisoner the first time she came to me. I understood you had brought her. The prisoner never left the - house during the time, nearly two months, she was with me. Two friends used to. visit her, who were, she said, her sister and niece. No man came to see her, excapt the hair-dresser, Mitchell, who came at her request to dress her hair. I last saw the things which are contained in the in ventory in the drawer of the wardrobe. The things purchased for this young woman were not kept in the same drawer. There were a few of her things there, such as hair-brushes and bottles. She had access to that drawer only when I was in the room. Mr. AnaLruns7—What, and did you lock up her hair-brushes and bottles in the drawer? Witness—l always locked the drawer when I left 'the room. Miad some friends to call on me • whilst she was in the house. I cannot say who they were. I rememlier two, Mr. Borodaile and. Mr. Malley. They were both attorneys. They did not come ou my . ‘ , business, but on that •of other persons. They never saw the prisoner. Her own friends came three or four or five times a week to visit her. When Mitchell brought her the first night, her name was not mentioned, nor was there a word said about her. The Counr —Tell all that passed. Miss Mitchell brought me tickets for her benefit, and I took some to circulate. She did not remain ten minutes at the most. I have not been in the habit of circulating tickets for the benefit of players. I have done so for Miss Mitchell three or four times. Mr. ADOLPHUS—How came you to be so intimate with her ? Witness—She had been in America, and she brought me a letter from a person who knew me, requesting that I would assist her if I could, and I did so. This was' about a year ago. Mr. Anosaqius-,-And did she have four benefits in one year ? Witnesss— Yes ; when the prisoner came to me I did not ask her where she came from, or who she was. She introduced herself so suddenly that I had not time. Mr. ADOLPHUS—Are we then to understand that a stranger, without introduction, was received into a nobleman's house at nine or ten o'clock at night, and was permitted to stop there nearly two months with out being asked who she was, or where she came from ? Witness--I never ask where people come from. I did not ask her all the time she stopped. I told her if she liked to stop she must not be running about the ' streets, and if she chose to go she must stay away. I never had any other woman living with me in this way before. I haVe children, both in marriage and otherwise. The woman by whom I have children, out of marriage, lived with me seven years, and did just as she liked. The prisoner went away about nine o'clock, on the 22d of July, and about ten o'clock I missed the things. I sent the man servant to Richmond-buildings, where prisoner said her sister lived, and no such person lived, there. I then sent to Mr. Wooller, my solicitor. 1 cannot say how long he has been my solicitor. I have applied to him when I wanted to send to the police-office or the like. lam not in the habit of having business at the police-offices. Mr. W. advertised the things which were missing, and circulated hand-bills. I never appeared at a police-ofticeexcept in this transaction. I remember the case of an Italian boy. I did not go to the police office then, but I was fined. I have employed Mr. Wooller to go for me to the police-office about the organs and nuisances of that sort. When I was fined about the Italian boy, Mr. Lewis was my solicitor, and attended'for me. I used to dine at home every day whilst the girl at the bar was there. I have seen her wear the ear-rings and also one of the miniatures. They were all kept in the same drawer, and all in their Own cases. Mr. ADOL PHUS--Yiiirsay thlt she - was isr - want of: clothes when she came to you, and that you supplied her. How did they come to her ? "Witness — l wrote by post to the dress-makers, at her request, and they came to her. Mr. ADOLPHUS—Why, have you not told me be fore that you went yourself to Mrs. Deacon's, in Re gent-street, and ordered the things ? Witness—l did not. Mr. CLARKSON objected to this mode of examination. Mr. AnoLraus- s -Why the answer is in the depo sitions. 'Witness— Perhaps so but I never said it. Mitchell was an actress when I first knew her. It never happened that any other young lady besides this came in her company. As soon as I missed the things I inquired and sent to Mr. Wooler. I received two letters from prisoner a fortnight or three weeks after she left me. The post-mark on one is July 29. This was a week after she left me. It is the first letter. The second letter is dated August 3, and about that time I received it. I sent the letters to Mr. Wooler. Patterns of her dress?s were sent to-my house in a basket, and she fitted them on. I never gave Miss Mitchell any dresses. Mr. ADOLPHUS—Neither male nor female ? Lord Frankfort—She was going to act in a uniform dress—she did not know what - coat to wear, and I gave her a pattern—a little pattern—which she took to her tailors. By the COURT—It was about nine when the pri soner went away. I was in the library over the bed-room I had left the drawer locked, and when I came down I found it locked. I opened it. I saw several of the cases there ; I examined them, and found them empty. Arthur James Jones—l was in the service of Mr. Vaughan, pawnbroker, Strand, in July, August, and September last. I produce a miniature ; I received it in pledge on 6th July. I have had it ever since. I cannot say for certain - which of those persons I re ceived it of. I know the prisoner as a customer, and another who passes as her sister, and another, who passes as her niece. It was to one of them I advanced 30s. on it. I produce a gold snuff-box, pledged 30th September by the prisoner. It is an antique gold box. I advanced 71. ss. on it. I have another box, pledged 30th July by prisoner, with another box for 51. This is of Dresden china; it is old, and very va luable. I have the other at home, and will send for it. I produce a watch. hook of gold and enamel. It was pledged 30th September by . prisoner. I did not find any duplicates for the articles left on 30th September. I advanced 36/. 10s. on them. Prisoner said she would call in the afternoon for the duplicates. I re ceived the opal box I produce on 30th September. I received two knives also, which I do not produce, but I will send for them ; they were pledged on the same day as the other things, and by the prisoner. I pro duce a gold-mounted smelling-bottle, in a gold case, received on 7th June. I am not certain which of them brought that. I have another smelling-bottle of china, received on 9th July from the prisoner. I advances on the two smelling-bottles 8/. 10s., and on the china smelling-bottle and tablets, 31. 10s. I pro duce an etui case, with cornelian snap, received on the 7th of July. All these things, had been pledged pre ' viously, and redeemed and pledged again. The whole had been redeemed on the 30th of August. The whole had been previously s e p arat ely pledged. T he etui case had been previous l y p le dged , on the 7 th of July, for 51., redeemed,Aug. 30, and again pledged on the 30th of September. I have not brought the counter duplicates. The whole of the things were pledged in the name of Chester, the only name by which I knew the prisoner. I produce the duplicates, which I returned myself. On the 7th of June the smelling-bottle and the gold case was pledged in the name of Miss Chester, King-street. On 9th July the gold scent-box and gold-mounted tablets, in the name of Miss Chester, Craven-street. On 26th July the miniature, in the name of Miss Chester, 38, Craven-street. On 80th Jul} the two snuff-boxes, in the name of M is s Chester, Leicester place. On 29th September the snuff-box I have left behind, in 'the name of Miss C h ester , Gerard- street ; and also the gold etui case in the same name and address; and the remaining articles on 30th Septem ber, in the same name, and with the same address. I likewise produce a toothpick case of Dresden china, on which I advanced 1/. It was pledged 30th Sep tember by, the prisoner. It had not been pledged before. Som,e were in leather cases, and some without any cases. - Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—I knew pri soner very well as a customer; knew she was living with some nobleman, but knew nothing snore, I never saw any hand-bill circulated among the trade relating to these articles. Bills of that description are generally stuck up in shops. I saw no such bill. If any of those goods had been advertised as having been stolen in the month of July, I would not have advanced money on them in September. There was no recommendation to secrecy or concealment when they were pledged. They were offered with a dmi- The prisoner ltre fainted, and it was a considerable time before she was sufficiently recovered to be again placed at the bar, when she was of an ashy paleness, and seemed every, moment about to faint again. Mr. CLARKSON said he had made the observations to which his friend had objected only on account of what had taken place on the cross-examination of the prosecutor at the police-office. Mr. Justice ERSKINE—I think you will see that you cannot proceed in this way. Mr. CLARKSON readily submitted to the Court. He should, however, state to the Jury that Lord Frank fort was a married man, but had been for some time separated from his wife ; since which he had led a more secluded life than before. It appeared that he first became acquainted with the prisoner on the 26th of May last, when she came to his house in the com pany of another person. But on that occasion no in troduction took place. On the 28th she came to him again, and that time she was unaccompanied. She remained with his Lordship until the 22d of July, and during that time he presented her with a valuable brooch and other ornaments; and she was in the habit also of wearing diamond earrings, a diamond pin, and other jewellery, to which she had access, but which she put on without the prosecutor's knowledge, although he afterwards permitted her to wear the rings and the pin. These things were usu ally kept in the room in which his Lordship slept, and to which the prisoner, whilst living with him had access. On one occasion his_Lordship found that she had removed the diamond pin from the case, and upon his inquiring what had become of it, she told him that she had given it to one of her relations for the purpose of borrowing money on it at a pawnbroker's. He was very touch vexed at this, but he gave her a check for 251., and the pin was restored. On the 22d July, the prisoner left Lord Frankfort's house, without any quarrel, without any intimation, or any thing occurring which could lead him to think that she Intended to go. Soon after her going he missed the valuable property which she had taken, and he immediately made Inquiry for her amongst those whom she had represented to be her relations. He now found that he had been altogether imposed upon, and made a dupe of, and he learned her real character. During the short time that she lived with him he had expended nealy 3001. upon her, for when she came to him she was poorly provided with clothes. On fur ther inquiry he heard that she was at a house in Soho; and on going there he found a woman, whom she had represented to be her sister, and introduced to him as such at his house. He did not find the prisoner there, but the pawnbrokers' duplicates of his property, of considerable value, were found there. On the 30th July the prisoner was found in Chancery-lane ; and it would be proved that she had pawned, or rather that she had deposited as • security for money with a pawnbroker, property of considerable value, upon which she had: just raised the sum of 26/. For that property she had received no duplicates, but the dupli cates of the rest of the property taken from his Lord ship were found in the house of the person called her sister. All these things had been within her reach. She had access to them. She had been in the habit of looking at them, and admiring them. One of the articles which she took away had, undoubtedly, been given to her ; and another she had, as he had stated, taken the liberty to pawn. If, from these facts, the Jury were satisfied that the prisoner stole from his Lordship's house the property laid in the indictment, to which she had access, and which were thus traced to her possession, it would be their duty to find her guilty. They were :aware that, by an Act which had lately passed the Legislature, his friend (Mr. Adolphus) would have the privilege of addressing them on the part of the prisoner. He (Mr. Clarkson) would not anticipate the course which his friend might think proper to adopt in the defence of his client. He would, therefore, conclude with these ob servations; his friend was aware that if he called wit nesses for the defence, he (Mr. Clarhson) would be in a condition to address the Jury again, and would have no reason to regret that he did not now occupy their time longer, by attempting to anticipate the defence. Lord Frankfort (who seems to be about 35 years old, of a tall and portly figure, with strongly marked features, and copious dark hair and whiskers) was then called and examined by Mr. BODKIN—His name is George Raymond. he is an Irish Peer, Viscount Frankfort de Montmorenci. At the time of this transaction resided in Southwick-terrace, Paddington. Had been living there since October or November of last year. Had been for some time sepa rated from Lady Frankfort. First saw the prisoner on the 26th May. She came to his house in company with a person of the name of Mitchell. That was about nine o'clock in the evening. When they came he was about to retire to bed. Had some conversation with Mitchell in the drawing-room and in the hall. Prisoner was present, but he did not speak to her, nor she to him, the whole time. they remained no more that six or seven minutes. They went away together. He had not expected the visit that evening, nor had he to his knowledge ever seen the prisoner before. He saw her again two days after. She came to his house in a cab. She was alone. It was about the same hour in the evening, about nine o'clock. He was above stairs when she came, and he met her on the landing-place. There was a light on the stairs and in the hall. He asked her what she came for ? She said she came to see him and to stop with him. This was in the drawing-room. He told her she had better not; she had friends who would be uneasy about her, and she had better go home to them. After she had stopped with him near an hour, and he saw that she would not go away, I e went to the door And dismissed the cab. •She stopped from that time to the 22d of July. When she went he had no reason to suppose she was going. There had not been the slightest quarrel. Whilst she was with him, he had in his possession two miniatures, one of which cost him 101., and the other 16/. He had also three china snuff boxes —very rare—it would be impossible to match them, and no price could be put on them. They were pawned for 201. each. He had bought them with other valuables in a mass, and he could not say what they cost him, nor could he put any price on them. There was also a gold tooth pick and case. They were very valuable, but he could not say what they cost. He was in the habit of collecting such things, when they were curious, and he bought them in quantities. There was a gold snuff-box, worth 91., and a watch-hook and pendant, which cost him 60/, There was also an neering manner. I told her that I must make some inquiries, as they were unusual things for me to see ; and she satisfied me at once by saying they were presents. Re-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—I should not be satisfied with such an answer, unless from a person I knew, I have known prisoner four in- five years. I first knew she was living with a nobleman in the early part of June. I have frequently known her in similar circumstances. 'I did not know she was living in that way from her own account, but only from supposition and hearsay. Mr. Justice ERSKINE—Then - you can carry that no further. William Round examined by Mr. BODKIN—I am an assistant to Mr. Rochford, a pawnbroker in Brewer-street, Golden-square. The miniature pro duced was pledged on the 26th of July by prisoner, in the name of Mrs. Linsdale, 18, Craven-street, Strand. I lent 3/. 10s. on it. It is in a gold case. I never saw her before. • Inspector Ames, A division—l searched for pri soner on 29th September last. I went to 46, Gerard street, Soho, found 12 pawnbrokers' duplicates there I gave up six to the prisoner's sister as not having any reference to this charge. The others are July 30, for two snuff-boxes pledged _at Vaughan's, No. 39, Strand, for 51. Os. 4d:, in the name of Miss Chester, Leicester-place ; July 26, same place, miniature .1/. 10s., by Miss Chester, 36, Craven-street; July 9, at the same place; a gold and china'seent-box, and a gold mounted tooth-pick, 31. 10s. •(The witness proceeded to read the remaining duplicates, which were those given to the prisoner by the two preceding witnesses, and spoken to by them.) The duplicates were in the lid of a work-box. I went to the house on the 30th and did not find the prisoner there. I inquired for her. She had been taken in the mean time. Cross-examined .by Mr. A D OLPHUS—I had been informed by Mr. Lewis of what had occurred some time before. I was employed on t he 29th, and she was in custody on the 30th. I made inquiries as to where she was, and traced her to•the house s question. Lord Frankfort recalled---,ldentified the articles produced as his property. Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—i think I re'd collect Miss Mitchell coming twice while the prisoner . was there. Prisoner once offered heia small etui case. Ido not see it here. Prisoner had been with me three days. I forbad her to give it away. She took it up from the table. I said "I do not allow any person to give that away." I was in the army. I left tii n 1827. I was in the 10th Hussars. I left the ary on coming of age. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. ADOLPHUS then proceeded to address the Jury for the defence. The Learned Gentleman said that during the course of a long professional experience, he had never met with a case more painful than the present. He stood there as the advocate of a young woman oppressed by a prosecution by a Noble Lord, who, after lying for two months on her bosom, was now seeking to prosecute her to banishment. *hen a crime was easily alleged, but difficult of disproof, if the accuser neglected to produce all the witnesses which might be produced to corroborate his story, the story dismissed itself as disproved. Suppose that the prisoner had charged his . Lordship with rape, and had neglected to produce the persons in the • house to cor roborate her story, would they have believed her ? Why, then, should they believe his Lordship's story, thuS uncorroborated and unsupported ? Her defence was, as it always had been, that she had received these articles in a mass as a present, and as the price of her pros titution. His Lordship now thought he had pur chased his pleasures too dearly, and wished to get his jewellery back again. It had been made a subject of complaint by the prosecution that the-Press had taken up the matter in a manner hurtful to his Lordship's feelings. He (Mr. Adolphus) .saw little of the daily papers, but in an enlightened and inquiring com munity, if' a person chose to make himself con spicuous by voluntarily instituting a prosecution which could do no man alive any honour, he must not be surprised if persons who had a proper sense of propriety should make comments upon his conduct. His Lordship, in this prosecution against the unfor tunate prisoner, was actuated solely by a desire to get back the jewellery which he had given the prisoner If she were convicted they must be restored, and pro vided he got them back he cared not for the prisoner, who, for two months, had lived with him. Like Shylock, his Lordship was ready to exclaim, " Would she were dead, so that the jewels were in her coffin, — would she were dead, so that my diamonds were in her ear." That alone seemed to be the object of the prosecution. He could not believe that after reposing, night after night, o n the bosom of this unfortunate creature, for two months, his Lordship would seek to drive her into banishment for revenge. No ! his Lord ship's only object was gain. Let them look at Lord Frankfort's statement. Could they believe the state ment that he told of his first introduction to the prisoner ? Could they believe that Miss Mitchell had called on him, as he represented, at a late hour of the night with the girl, that nothing passed between them, that the girl went away, re turned again two nights after, saidilere I am, and that then, without any preliminary conversation, or any of those fendnesses by which connections Of this sort are usually preceded, the girl remained with his Lord ship, and consented to be shut-up for two whole months? What could they believe but that this jewellery was the price of that imprisonment ? The counsel for the prosecution had asked him to produce the sister and niece of the prisoner who had visited him. He should do no such thing. It was for the prosecutor to do that. Lord Frankfort had sought his client, not his client Lord Frankfort. Lord Frankfort had taken her into keeping, not she Lord Frankfort; therefore it was for his Lordship to produce them if he wanted them. How had he acted when she had proposed to give away the etui case in his presence ? IVhy he had not said I am astonished at your imper tinence in daring to give away these things. No, he had quietly desired her not to give it away, as he might have asked her not to dispose of any other present he might have given her. If the days of Jo nathan Wild had come back again, could they, in the most common thief-taking case, convict a person on such evidence as that of his Lordship ? With regard to calling witnesses to character, how could he, do so ? the prisoner's character had been de stroyed by his Lordship. She had lived two months with him • how could she have any character after that ? Fortunately, this was not a question in which they were bound to disbelieve either the girl or his Lord ship. They all knew the effects which a good dinner and a bottle of wine produced on persons of his Lord ship's temperament, and he put to them whe ther all the circumstances of the case did not show that in a moment of fondness, after taking his wine, his Lordship had given the prisoner those things in a mass, and had afterwards forgotten it ? Did not the circumstances under which they were pawned bear out the supposition? They were all pawned se parately, sometimes by the prisoner, sometimes by her sister or her niece—were redeemed, pledged again, and all this was done openly without any attempt at concealment. When she left his Lordship she showed herself in public. She was easily traced. She wrote to his Lordship, who never answered her letters, and after a lapse of two months, she was taken into custody on this charge. These articles were missed in July, and yet no inquiry is made about them until September. With regard to the story of the handbill could they believe that any such handbill had been circulated ? There was no bill pro duced, Mr. Wooller was not produced, the printer was not produced, and the pawnbroker had heard no thing of these bills; could they doubt, then, but that these things had been given to the prisoner as a pre sent, and that she was entitled to a verdict of acquittal at their hands ? (The Learned Gentleman throughout his address spoke in a very low tone, and was at times quite inaudible in the Reporters box.) Mr. Justice ERSKINE—I think the prosecution must elect upon which of the articles produced they will proceed, or upon what data they will rely. They must fix some day on which they charge the offence to have been committed. Mr. BODKIN—We will* elect to proceed on the articles pledged on the 30th of September. ' Mr. Justice ERSKINE—AII the articles pledged on 30th September had been pledged before—that was a re-pledging. You cannot lay that as a stealing in a dwelling-house. Mr. BODKIN—Then we will take the 22d July, the day she left the house: Mr. Justice ERSKINE—That excludes all the arti ties pledged on the 7th June. • Mr. BODKIN—It excludes the gold smelling-bottle, the gold key, the etui case, and the china smelling bottle. Mr. Justice ERSKINE, in summing up, said, that it was impossible for any person to have heard the evi dence in this case, without entertaining the greatest feeling of compassion for the unfortunate woman at the bar, and an anxious desire that the Jury should, if they could consistently with the evidence and with the oaths they had taken, acquit her oribe offence with which she was charged. At the same time they must not suffer themselves to be influenced by such feelings if they were satisfied from the evidence that she was really guilty of the charge laid in the indict ment. If, however, they had any doubt on the sub ject they would no doubt gladly give the. prisoner the benefit of that doubt, and return a verdict of acquittal. It had been suggested for the defence that Lord Frankfort had given her the articles in question, that he • hod • afterwards repented of what he had done, and had instituted the prosecution to get then back again. This was a terrible imputation io make agains t an y man, m_ pre especially against a man occupying the station of Lord Frank fort. He found nothing in the evidence to show that Lord Frankfort could be so base as first of all to make a present to this unfortunate young woman, and after that to attempt to withdraw it by accusing her of felony. That, however,. was a question which they were t o .d ec id e , mother surPo4tion offered . for the defence was, that his Lordship might have - made the present while in a state of intoxication, and may have subsequently lost all recollection of what he had done. That conveyed an imputation of a much less ter rible nature, and it was for them to judge of its pro bability. But there was another supposition, which was this, that although be may not have actually given her the things, he may have so dealt with them and with the prisoner as to induce her to believe that the things had really been given to her, and that they were her own. In support ofthis supposition it had been elicited from his Lordship's cross-examination, that he had suffered the prisoner to wear the minia ture without rebuke or remonstrance. That she was in the habit of keeping her hair-brushes in the same drawer with some of his Lordship's things, and cer tainly some of the things were of such a nature that a woman might naturally suppose they were intended for her. The Learned Judge then went through the evidence at length, observing on the fact of the prisoner's leaving the house, that that did not argue a felonious intent, because she knew that if she men tioned the fact of her being about to leave she would - have been prevented. If, therefore, in leaving she took only those things which she really and honestly thought were her own, that could not be considered steal ing in a dwelling-house, as charged in the indictment. It was for the prosecutor to satisfy them of the guilt of the prisoner by the evidence, and if that evidence did not satisfy them—if they had any fair and rea sonable doubt on the subject, they would give the prisoner the benefit of that doubt, and return their verdict accordingly. While the Jury were deliberating on their verdict, the prisoner appeared to be suffering from the most intense mental anguish, and wept bitterly. The ex citement in the Court also was extreme. After deli berating a short time, the Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The verdict was received with loud applause, which was instantly checked by the officers of the Court. The prisoner,: who was held up to the bar to hear the verdict, dropped, fainting back into a chair, the in stant it was announced, and remained some time in a state of insensibility. On the verdict being an nounced to the crowd assembled outside the Sessions house they gave three most vociferous Cheers, which were distinctly heard in Court. Mr. BODKIN said there were several indictments against the visoner, but as they were all supported by the same evidence as the one on which the prisoner had been just acquitted, he should not offer any evi dence on them. The prisoner who was supported to the bar was then given in charge to the Jury on the other indict ments, and no evidence being tendered in support of them, she was instantly acquitted. She was then assisted out of the dock. _ This case appears to have created the most intense excitement in the public mind. The gallery was even more crowded than it was on the occasion of Good's trial, and there wore a great number of well-dressed females present. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) At the sitting of the Court this morning, between forty and fifty prisoners were arraigned, several of whom pleaded guilty, and were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment. H e nry Jackson, a countryman, was convicted of stealing a turkey, of the value of 55., the property of Mary Gould, And sentenced to four months' imprison ment and hard labour. Although this was a petty charge, no less than three counsel were employed, namely, Messrs. Clark son and Espinasse for the prosecution, and Mr. Horry for the prisoner. James Toole!' was convicted of stealing four bushels of eats, the property of Sarah Ellis, his mistress, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. John Connell, a young urchin, was convicted of stealing from the person of George Woodfall, 14, Dean-yard, a pocket handkerchief, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. 'Catherine Fleming was convicted of stealing a neck lace, value Gs. 6d., the property of Lipman Davidson, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. BIGANIY.— John William Gower, described in the calendar as a labourer, was indicted for intermarrying with Sarah Bridge, his wife Mary being alive. The previous marriage of the prisoner was clearly proved, and it appearing that he had been previously convicted of assaulting a child, and sentenced to im prisonment in the Penitentiary, the Court sentenced him to seven years' transportation. POLICE THROUGHOUT THE 00UNTRY.—It WOll seem to be the intention of the Tories—Which may be collected from the recent Act taking the power of appointing constables from Courts Leet and investing it in the Magistrates—indirectly and gradually to effect an establishment of a police force throughout the whole kingdom. Such is manifestly and in sidiously the object of the Act which gives vestries the power to remunerate constables, and declares that where pay is given none others shall be employed. — Durham Chronicle. DISTRESS IN THE PR TINE BUSINESS.-011 SatUF day morning a meeting, numerously attended, was held at the Three Herrings, Bell-yard, Temple-bar, take into consideration ie best means to be adopted to alleviate the distress at present existing in the above line, in consequence of the dearth of employment. Mr. Lambert being called to the Chair gave many painful proofs of the necessity of such meeting, and deprecated in strong terms the present system of apprenticeship, as being the main cause of the existing laxity of employment. Mr. Burdon proposed the first resolution :—" That much and severe distress was at present existing, and that a Committee should be no minated to Confer with the Trade Council upon the best course to be adopted for its alleviation."—Carried unanimously. Several other resolutions were then passed and a Committee appointed to confer with the Trade Council, and make their report to the adjourned meeting, to be held on Wednesday next. LAW CHANGES IN IRELAND.—OH Wednesday next there will be a new Master of the Rolls, a new Puisne Judge of the Common:Pleas, a new Attorney and Solicitor-General, a new Master in Chancery, and a new Sergeant introduced to the Courts. Mr. Litton is to be sworn into office on Monday next, as Master in Chancery. Mr. C. P. Leslie, the popular and Conservative candidate for Monaghan, has been on a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Ely, at Ely Lodge. EXETER.—THE INCOME-TAX.—It is stated that the returns in this Cathedral city are so glaringly untrue, that the Local Commissioners have forwarded them to London.— Western Times. We announce with sincere regret the death of the Right Hon. Berkeley Paget, .brother to the Marquis of Anglesey, and formerly Aide-de -Camp to the Duke of York, in which capacity he was the medium of many of those acts of generosity which procured for the Duke his well-merited sobriquet of the "soldiers' friend." We have long enjoyed the pleasure of Mr. Paget's acquaintance, and are much indebted to his zealous kindness in promoting the interests of the United Service Gazette, whenever he had an opportu nity of doing so. One of his latest courtesies was to procure for us a certain description of information from our Conservative authorities, which, not having the good luck to be either Whigs, Papists, or Rebels, we had repeatedly applied for in vain. Mr. Berkeley Paget is the father of Miss Paget, Maid of Honour to her Majesty, and has resided for many years in Hamp ton Court Palace, in which neighbourhood, as wher ever else he has lived, he was universally esteemed and beloved.—United Service Gazette. DEATH OF THOMAS SADLEIR, ESQ.--It iS with feelings of the most painful regret that we announce the death of this lamented gentleman, which melan choly event took place on the Vd instant, at Cloninel, in the 68th year of his age. He was elder and only brother to the Rev. the Provost of Trinity College, and was the head of one of the oldest and most re sspectable families of English Spttlers in Ireland, as appears from the genealogy of the family, published by Sir Walter Scott, Bart. His eldest son, Thomas Sadleir, Esq., of Ballinderry, succeeds to the family estate of Castletown, county of Tipperary.--Nenagh Guardian. A letter has been received from William Geach, who was transported about twelve months since for forgery, in which he gives an awful description of his sufferings there, and begs of his friends to obtain a mi tigation of them, as death would be much more accept able than life under such circumstances. He is step son of the unfortunate Chartist John Frost, who is also undergoing similar punishment in the same co lony.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. Last week's arrivals were small of English Grain, considerable of Irish Oats, and good of Foreign Wheat. This morning's fresh supply was fair of Wheat and Barley, and small of other Corn. English Wheat sold slowly at its - former value. Foreign was held firmly. Barley met a slack sale at last quotations. Beans and Peas were without alteration. Irish Oats ls. per lower than this day se'nnight, with a good de mand. Flour as last week. PRICES oN BOARD OF SVIF.

I n l Nothwithstandi ng th e i m p or t s o f s t oc k f rom a b roa d, abtee Hull; considerably Southampton, oi the increase, since tthis numbersse'n n i gh t, brought haye hither in that period have been by no means extensive, and a great falling off has been observed in their qua lity. This deficiency in the arrivals for this market is owing to the inestimably low rates at which home-fed beasts and sheep, including calves, are selling here, and to those in ..some of the provincial markets, such as Devonport, and others, situate along the western-coast, proving more advantageous to the importers. On Friday last, only 15 Spanish beasts out of those on offer found.purchasers, and the re mainder of the arrival, or 30, was the only foreign stock here to-day. These beasts were so extremely inferior, that some of them were actually disposed of at no more than from 2s 6d to 2s 8d per 281b5., which must have entailed a loss to the Company whose property they were, of from 1/ to 2/ per head. The new Tariff seems to have produced some attention in Ireland, we having received from Cork, 12 calves, 23 beasts and cows, and 203 pigs for sale here, but which, from their bad condition, have met with few buyers, even at extremely low figures. Although prices are very unremunerative, our advices from Hamburgh, Rotter dam, &c., &c., state that preparations arc in progress to send us increased supplies of beasts. In the following statement will be found an ac count of the arrivals of stock, during the week, ending on the 29th Inst., together with the importations pre viously this year under the present measure. From Germany. during the week, ending Oct. 29, 789 beasts, 276 cows, 254 sheep, 48 pigs. From Holland, 458 beasts, 154 cows, 622 pigs. From Spain, 166 beasts, 9 cows, 50 sheep. From France, 217 beasts, 140 sheep. From the above return it will be perceived that the imports are considerably exceeding the expectations of some of the graziers. The supplies of Beasts re ceived fresh up to-day from our own grazing districts were the largest recollected at the corresponding period during the last ten years, they considerably exceeding four thousand head. The quality of the arri vals was, it is true, inferior, yet the effect produced upon the trade was that of extreme heaviness ; and, in order to effect sales, an abatement of from 2d. to 4d. per. 81bs. was submitted to, and nearly 700 of various breeds were'turned out unsold at the close of the market. We had another large supply of Sheep, which were excessively dull in sale, and the rates gave way quite 2d. per Blbs., the highest price obtained for the best old Downs not exceeding 4s. 4d. per Blbs., while a clearance was not effected. The Veal trade was very dull, and the quotations were 2d. per 81bs. lower than on Monday last. In Pigs next to nothing was doing, yet the currencies were maitititined. Froth Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, &c., we received 3,200 short-horns and runts, 200 Scots, homebreds, &c., from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire ; 300 Herefords, Devons, and runts, from our Western and Mid land districts ; 350 of various breeds, from Ireland ; and 10 by sea, from Scotland.

The receipts of slaughtered Meat to these markets from Scotland, Yorkskre, Norfolk, and the West of England, since this day se'nnight, have been on an extensive scale,.even the time of year considered, while, comparatively speaking, the supples have come to hand ill good saleable. condition. Of foreign Beef we have viewed about .five carcases, which have met a slow inquiry, at very low figures, or from 2s. 10 d. to 3s. per 81bs. Notwithstanding the quantities of London-killed meat have proved large, the primest Beef, Mutton, and Pork have, owing to their scarcity, sold freely, at full rates of currency ; but all other kinds have hung heavily on hand, and clearances have been with difficulty effected by the salesmen. The importance of the subject induces us to give the fol lowing detail of the number of carcasses of meat which has arrived within the last seven days. Arrivals during the week :-116 beasts: 1,867 sheep; 155 calves ; 1,725 pigs. The arrivals during the correspond ing week in 1841 were as follows :-39 carcases of beef; 412 ditto of mutton ; 590 ditto of veal ; and 412 ditto of pork. In comparing the annual weekly statements of figures, we find that the rates at present obtained are materially lower than at the same time last year. TALLOW. Since our last statement prices have remained sta tionary. Fine Y. Candle is selling at 48s 9d, and last year's Y. C. 48s to 48s 3d, as in quality, with a s t ea dy business doing for consumption. Town Tallow is 48s net cash. The last letters received from St. Petersburgh are up to the 18th of October. There were then 97,499 casks shipped off, against 118,630 casks at the same period last year. Prices were steady, a fair number of ships, and the weather mild. Some letters state that little business was doing, but that the Russians were anxious to sell. There are now about 9,000 casks between here and St. Peters burgh. BOROUGH. The supply of hops in this market of the present year's growth, is very large. The finest qualities of Mid 'and East Kent mostly support their previous value ; but Sussex and Weald of Kent are again lower. Yearling and old hops are mending. The duty is called from 155,0001. to 160,0001. New Sussex Pockets, 75s to 92s ; do. Kent do., 87s to 955.; do. do., choice; 120 s to 1355; do. East Kent Pockets, 130 s to 148 s ; do. do. bags, 100 s to 130 s; Yearlings, 90s to 115 s. POTATO. Up to the Borough and Spitalfields markets, the arrivals of potatoes from all parts have been liberal since this day se'nnight, they having amounted to about 2,200 tons, chiefly from Scotland, Yorkshire, and the Channel islands. Owing to the supplies of green vegetables on offer being large for tbe time of year, the demand is, on the whole, dull. WOOL. During the week the 'imports of Wool have from con sisted of - 276 bales from Adelaide, 1,078 d di it tto from to Launceston, 1,90 8 ditto from Sydney, 1,014 Calcutta, 151 ditto from Hamburgh, and 50 ditto from Mogadore, forming a total of 4,467 packages. Both British and Foreign Wools are yeti dull in sale, and the prices are with difficulty supported._ SOUTHAMPTON", OCT. 30.—Arrived, at half-past eight o'clock yesterday morning, the Peninsular Com pany's steam-packet the Tagus.
