trb 'Ttittion CRIMINAL CO!)RT. = (THIS DAY.) oLD COURt. Thomas Reynolds, Eliza ;Storey, and Mary Glennill, were charged v‘ith conspiring together to prefer a charge of assault against Mr. 'William Storey, a tailor, residing in Fieet-street, without foundation. Mr. Parry, with Mr. Parnell, appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Clarkson defended Reynolds, and Storey and, Giannill were defended by Mr. Huddle atone and Mr. Ballentine. Mr. PARRY, in opening the case for the prosecution, stated that Mr. Reynolds, having been formerly in the employ of Mr. Storey, had every opportunity of know. ing the temper of Mrs. Storey, with whom he had con spired not only to bring forward a false charge but also to entirely ruin him. The 25th of March was the day on which the assault was alleged to have been committed, and Mr. Storey would, on his oath, tell the jury that he had committed no; such an offence. He would call in every person who was in the house at the time of the assault. It was said to have been committed in the dining-room, and he would produce a person who was underneath the room at the time, and would posi tively state that no such assault could have been committed. As regarded the defendant Reynolds, he would prove thac Mrs. Storey was in the constant habit of attending the shop of Mr. Reynolds, who carried on business as a tailor, and also lived in Fleet street ; when there she was always closeted with Reynolds, and was also frequently seen to carry large bundles with her from her husband's to the shop of defendant. He would also prove that Rey nolds had frequently expressed a malicious feeling against Mr. Storey, and his determination to harm him. The case had not proceeded further when our re. port left. FRANCE. La Patrie observes that the intelligence communi cated. in the Constitutionnel, of full satisfaction having been given by the Emperor of Morocco on the de rr.and of the French Consul at Tangiers, was prema ture, though no doubt is entertained that such will be the case. A letter from Toulon announces the sailing of the expedition to Morocco from that port on the 11 th inst. The fleet consisted of ten ships of the line—the Friedland, Jena, Hercule, and Inflex ible; the frigate Psyche; the steam-frigates Moga dor, Cacique, Christopher, Colombe, and Descartes ; and the steam corvettes Tartan and Dauphin, under the command of Admiral Parceval Deschenes, who, it was said, had received orders to act with energy unless the satisfaction required was given.

D'ARG OUT ITALY. A letter from Turin of the 11th inst. contradicts a report that the Ministers ha I resigned in consequence of the vote of the Chamber of Deputies disapproving of the imprisonment of Garibaldi. A letter from Genoa of the 11th inst. states that Garibaldi had been placed on board the frigate Saint Michael, to be conveyed to Nice, his native place. The 2Vazionale of Florence of the 8:h instant, publishes the following letter from Rome :-- " I have politico-theatricll news to give you. The singer, Madame Rebussini, had been loudly applauded for some time by the French who crowd the Argentina Theatre. The rondeau of Marino Fuliero one evening excited the most enthusiastic applause, in the midst of which a French captain threw a bouquet on the stage from his box. The singer did not pick it up, but as soon as she had retired behind the scenes she sent a servant to pick it up; she re-appeared afterwards, but without the bouquet. The French officers were off«•nded at this, and resolved upon revenge for the affront. The next evening the theatre woe nearly full of French; there were only about 100 Romans in the pit, and ♦ery few in the boxes, which had almost all been taken by the French. After the ron deau the bouquet as before fell before the feet of the singer, who made her exit without picking it up. Ina mediatelT the French drew whistles from their pockets, and commenced a most terrific concert, mingled with cries of Take the bouquet!' All the Romans who were in the theatre, on the contrary, applauded and criQd, Bravo! bravo! no! no! Show them our sym pithy !' At last the Romans, seeing that the French officers persisted, left the theatre; the French desisted, and the act of Columellu began. About 50 Romans then re-entered, when the French recom- menced their clamours; a Roman then exclaimed, Let all Italians leave the place!' But instructions had been . given to the gendarmes who were at the door, and who prevented the Romans from leaving. Meanwhile some French officers having taken the stage by assault, forced the singer to appear with the bouquet, the cause of so much tumult. Madame Rebussint appeared pale and dishevelled, with tears in her eyes; she held the bouquet in her left hand. The French then loudly applauded, in the midst of the whistles of the Romans, and of the violent apostrophes they had addressed to the singer, who had been weak enough to give way. This little history, for the present, has had no further conse quences." BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE AD VANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY.—After the dispatch of our parcel last evening, the annual dinner of the members of the association took place in the Town hall. There were between four and five hundred present. The side and great galleries were filled with ladies. Mr. StirnFson presided at the organ, and Mr. Stevens conducted the choir, which throughout the evening delighted the company with a variety of classical and popular music. At half-past five o'clock Professor Robinson took his place at the head of the cross-table. He was sup ported on his right and left by the Marquis of Northampton, Lord Lyttelton, Lord Stafford, Vis count Adare, Lord Wrottesley, the Bishop of Wor cester, the Bishop of Oxford, the Bishop of Manches ter, the Dean of Westminster, the Dean of Ely, the Prince of Canino, M. Drouyn de l'Huys, the French Ambassador ; Chevalier Bunsen, Prussian Ambassa dor; Sir R. Inglis, Sir Charles Lyell, Sir R. Mur cbi.on, C. B. Adderley, Esq., M.P. James Ileyworth ,Esq., M.P., C . N. Newdegate Esq.. M.P. R. Ste. ' phtlon, Es q ., M.P ., Professor' B. Rogers, ' Professor Willis, Profess or Philli ps, Professor Power, General Palley, Colonel S a bi ne, Professor Faraday, &c. SAMUEL f L IORNTON, Esq., Mayor, officiated as Vice- Chairman. After the cloth had been removed, and the Non Nobis Domini sung— The CHAIRMAN proposed, in an appropriate address, the health of the Queen. He alluded in graceful terms to the late visit of her Majesty to Ireland—a visit vi,hich had revived hope, rekindled the elements of prosperity, and had given the hope and promise of returning life to that poor land. He should gi ve , with all his heart, the toast " The Queen, may God bless and preserve her. After the lapse of a short time — The CHAIRMAN gave, " Prince Albert, Albert, Prince of Wales, the Queen Dowager, and all the Royal Family." Th e toast was rece ived with ap plause, and duly honoured. The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The healths of the French Ambassador, the Prussian Minister, and the other distinguished foreigners who had honoured `',~. THE SUN, them with their presence."—(Cheers.) Welcome they had always been, and welcome they always would be; but far more welcome were they when, as in this in stance, they brought with them such intellectual power, and such rich stores of valuable information. M. DROUYN DE L'HUYS rose to respond to the toast, and said if gratitude could express itself by proxy, he would entrust to his Hon. Colleague the pleasure and the honour of addressing them. He felt personally obliged to show his hearty gratitude for the high honour e which they bad conferred upon him. If it had been his fortune as a Frenchman to visit the great town of Birmingham 40 years ago, he would have found it teeming with instruments of warfare, all busily and eagerly employed in preparing the weapons ofdeadly combat against a neighbouring n ation. Now,happily, the scene was changed. As a private individual he was conscious of his inability and unworthiness to speak before the illustrious representatives of the different branches of learning in the world ; but in his public character he personified a nation that had always been, and was now, a worshipper of science. He was, as it were, the living proof of the recognition of France in England—of the great truth that having been long, too long, engaged in the struggles of battle, they now agreed on the advantages of the peaceful intercourse of trade and science. in con clusion he begged leave to propose, " The promotion of friendly relations between France and England." Chevalier BUNSEN rose to address the company, and was well received. He said his worthy colleague, the Ambassador of Frarce, had so well expressed all he could say that nothing remained for him but to concur in all that he had said. He could E nter into the hope that the emblem of science of which that so- ciety was the representative, might also be the em blem of universal peace. It was now about 140 years since one of the greatest men, Leibnitz, the contemporary of the illustrious Newton, conceived the idea of forwarding the interests of science by association. Amidst the light that was shin ing around them there was that of Berlin, which the illustrious Savan he (the Chevalier) had named, had himself founded. He hailed with pleasure the grand idea that men who had de voted their whole lives to science and the acquisition of knowledge, should publish to the world all they knew, to make it richer and better. Germany and France had many advantages in their academies, such as those of Berlin and Munich in particular, and England had come to be proud of its Royal Society in the same way. After a few remarks on the bene fits of associations similar to the one which they were members of; the Hon. Gentleman, in conclusion, said he entirely concurred in what had been said by his Honourable Colleague of France, and he echoed the hope that swords would speedily be beaten into ploughshares, and universal peace reign over the globe. lie proposed with much pleasure, " The British Association for the Advancement of Science." . . The toast was drunk with loud and continued cheering ; after which The CHAIRMAN, in a neat speech, responded to the toast. In the course of his observations, after alluding, in complimentary terms, to the two Ambassadors who had honoured them with their company, he said he ventured to prognosticate that that meeting would not be inferior to the last; and already the two first days' proceedings of their sections had proved that he was not wrong. In each had been obtained results which left the happiest promise of the termination of the meeting. That they should continue to advance, that their alliance should continue to be useful to mankind, he felt well assured. If they asked what manufactures they had improved, what processes they had invented, he answered, they had done more, they had invented the principle which would give them manufactures and processes enough—they had increased all the powers which invigorated their intellect and directed their labours. In conclusion, he trusted that the second return of the association to Birmingham would be an epoch in its course—the recurrence of a new style, and as they saw here, since they. were last honoured by an invitation to this town, the material development of its intellect, showing that they had kept pace in the principles of improve ment during their absence ; so, when they return, for the third time, they should find that they had made a progress far surpassing what had as yet crowned their efforts. After the lapse of a short time, the President pro posed in a suitable address, " The Universities of the Kingdom." The toast was received with applause. The Bishop of OXFORD, in an eloquent speech, re sponded to this toast, after which other toasts were proposed, and duly honoured, and the company sepa rated at an early hour. EXCURSION TO DUDLEY, WARWICK, &c. DUDLEY, SATURDAY NIGRT.—To-day, pursuant to arrangements with the local committee of Bir mingham, extensive preparations were made in this town for the reception of the members of the British Association. Lord Ward having kindly consented to throw open his caverns and grounds for the inspection of the members, his agent, Richard Smith, Esq , had the grounds put in perfect order, and the immense caverns were lighted up. Some idea may be formed of the extent of these immense subter raneous caves, from the fact of their requiring several thousand candles to enable the visitors to effect a passage through them. The effect was brilliant in the extreme, and must be inspected to be duly appreciated. At about one o'clock about 500 of the members of the Association arrived here in the Swift Packet Company's boats, and were received by the local committee, who were distinguLhed by wearing a blue ribbon on the button •hole, and conducted by them to the Limestone Caverns. Sir Roger Murchison, C., L. Bonaparte, Prince of Canino, the French Ambas sador, and many other distinguished foreigners, were amongst the party, who, with the others, were con ducted to the caverns. Owing to a desire of indulging the curiosity of as many persons as possible, a great number of the inhabitants of the town were admitted, and considerable inconvenience was experienced for some time, owing to the immense pressure of the crowd. utter the lapse of a short time, however, perfect order was restored amongst the party, and Sir R. Murchison, availing himself of the aid of a speaking trumpet, de livered a brief but appropriate lecture on the extra ordinary geological phenomena by which they were surrounded, and in the course of his address took occasion to compliment the foreign ambassadors, and congratulated them upon their visit to the ancient and extraordinary caverns in which they were as sembled. The French Ambassador briefly replied, thanking the worthy Baronet for the compliment which had been paid him, and expressing the great delight which he felt in having had an oppor tunity of witnessing such stupendous works. The party then retired from the caverns, and were con ducted to Messrs. Cresswell's open works, in the thick or ten-yard coal, and afterwards to Lord Ward's Clay Croft open works. They then returned to Dudley on the western side of the Wren's Nest• hill, where the limestone caverns and workings were inspected. In visiting these places about three miles of ground had to be walked, but; as the walks were highly interesting, they were not omitted by any to whom distance was not a matter of importance. The Geological Society's Museum was next visited, after which the party proceeded to the Russell's Hall iron furnaces, where the progress of smelting was inspected. At a quarter before two precisely the casting from the furnaces commenced, and after wit nessing the process of manufacture, the party repaired to the national school room, where a cold collation was laid out, and in the evening the company left for Birmingham in the conveyances by which they had arrived. I omitted to mention that while in the cavern Lord Ward's kindness in admitting the com• pany was adverted to, and called forth the unbounded applause of the company. EXCURSION TO W ARWICK, KENILWORTH, &c. WARWICK, SATURDAY.—This morning, at ten o'clock, about 150 members of the association arrived here per railway, and were conveyed in omnibuses to 'Warwick Castle and grounds, where, in the absence of the noble owner, they were received by his Lord ship's agent. After inspecting the beautiful grounds, and the truly picturesque scenery west of the splendid mansion, the party were conducted through the Castle. Amongst the various objects of interest within this ancient pile, Ruben's celebrated painting of Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the order of the Jesuits, attracted particular attention : it is universally admitted to be the master-piece of the great artist. The great hall, the armoury, the select picture gallery, the ancient curiosities (including the bedstead of Queen Anne), were all inspected by the company. The extraordinary vase was a l so an o bj ect of curiosity. The party, on leavi ng th e C as tl e, pro ceeded to Guy's Cliff House, the ancient residence of the Hon. B. Percey. Here they were received most courteously, and, after perambulating th e exten sive and elegantly laid out grounds, including the magnificent avenue fronting the building, they were shown through this delightful residence ; after, which, the Beauchamp Chapel, Wilcox's works for carved furniture, and Refern's collection of articles of vertu, were inspected. At half-past two o'clock the party proceeded per railway to Kenilworth, for the purpose of visiting the ancient ruins, and having closed the day's enjoyment by a dinner at the King's Arms (Dr. Robinson in the chair), the party returned in the evening, highly delighted with the day's ex cursion.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - -.- SlE,—Napoleon chose successful in preference to talented men; on this principle I venture to make known the result of a mode of treatment which in the years 1832 and 1833 was most successful, and which I have adopted during the last ten days, in more than 300 of these cases, full one-half of which got well within twelve hours, and in no instance did the malady run into the second or collapsed stage, or continue beyond eight-and-forty hours. Ido not lay claim to greater attainments than my professional brethren, but having had nearly 30 years' most active service, and devoted great attention to this destruc tive disease when it first appeared in this country, and during the present year, I trust you will not consider these few lines unworthy a place in your extensively read journal. _ It will Se recollected that in January last 154 chil dren were, at an hour's notice, removed from Drouet's pauper establshment at Tooting to the Royal Free Hospital, the greater number of whom were in a most wretched and diseased state; they were treated after the plan I now recommend, and I can add that not one case was lost after its adoption. Were it necessary to urge any additional reasons for intruding on your columns, they would be found in the very great alarm that pervades the public mind, and in the report of the Board of Health, to the effect that nearly all the fatal cases are neglected ones of Diarrhoea. The remedies are simple and safe, and within the reach of every one; they are as follow :—Calo mel, six grains ; rhubarb, fifteen grains, made with water into a soft bolus, or three pills ; all to be taken on the first evidence of any disorder, of either stomach or bowels ; the patient to go imme diately to bed, and four hours after to commence with the following mixture : Tincture of opium, 30 drops, by measure. Compound tincture of cardamums, 2 ounces. Camphor mixture, 6 ounces.—Mix. Two table-spoonsful to be taken every two hours. After four doses the period to be extended to every four or six hours, and to be continued so long as any relaxation of the bowels remains. Should the bowels become much confined within two or three days from the first attack, the following aperient draught may be taken : —Castor-oil and tincture of rhubarb, of each three-quarters of an ounce, mixed together. All saline aperients must be strictly avoided. Diet for the first twenty-four hours to consist of good beef tea, mutton broth, well peppered, with rice and batter pudding in small quantities at a time. Common tea or coffee must not be taken. Afterwards roast beef or mutton, rice pudding, and port wine and water may be taken till the patient is quite restored. The above remedies I strongly recommend to be kept in readiness by every adult person, and for children precisely the same treatment, in proportion ably diminished doses. Remaining, Sir, yours obediently, WILLIAM 11 ARSDEN, M.D. Senior Surgeon of the Royal Free Hospital. Sept. 14, 1849. THE CHOLERA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. RESPECTED FRIEND,—I have the satisfaction in believing that I have been the means of saving more than one life from the fatal effects of the cholera, by the party adopting Dr. Thompson's advice, via., by taking a full dose of castor-oil, abstaining from food of an acid or irritating nature, or liquids of an inflammatory description. Among others, I believe a decided case of cholera occurred in the neighbour hood of St. James-street, the day before yesterday ; the party informed me last evening, so severely were they suffering the night before, that they felt confi dent, but for the oil, they must have died before morning. Now, if this is, as Dr. Thompson, of Edinburgh, asserted, a certain preventative, surely it cannot be too universally known. The Doctor assured me that he did not lose one patient out of a very considerable number that came under care where the party applied to him in time ; and it may be reasonably inferred that the efficacy of oil is confirmed by the eminent Spanish physician who administered with complete success olive oil. Yours respectfully, S tangate, Lambeth, 9 mon. 13, 1849. THOMAS MOTLEY. P.S.--As castor oil is well known for its mild and soothing nature, there can scarcely be any danger to the most delicate constitution adopting it. THE CHILDERS AND HER LATE COMMANDER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. read the recent article in The Sun on the then pending court-martial with all but unalloyed feelings of delight. My only apprehension was, that the results, owing to the absurd constitution of the court, might have proved you prophetically false. Although the prosecutors' punishment has not been added to his own, I am still disposed to think that if the prisoner has had enough, they hare, after what we have seen, something too much. In addition to their sentence they have yet another yoke to bear, though not the " Pitman necklace," still heavy enough to men in their unfortunate circumstances. Shall a country, whose purse is ever open to cries of distress from abroad, refuse to lend a helping hand to officers, cruelly driven from her service, who, in spite of all that may be said against them, have at least (and this is no mean achievement) ridded the navy of a tyrant, and the country of a monster in British uniform. The expenses of the court-martial are doubtless heavy. We cannot better follow up your late article than by inviting subscriptions to defray them. I understand they have already commenced in the country.—Yours, HOMO. RAISING OF THE BRITANNIA TUBES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. have perused, with no little interest, the several communications made by your correspondents relative to the operations at the Menai Straits, for the purpose of raising the monster tube, and much regret the position of affairs there at the present moment, which, however, I beg to remark, would have as sumed a very different aspect bad the eminent engineers employed by Mr. Stephenson to raise these monsters condescended to consult those parties, whose every-day experience in the working of hydraulic presses has taught them the proper use of these ma chines, when required to exert such an enormous force as 2,000 tons. Had they done this, I do not hesitate to say, the diffictilties encountered in raising the tubes, both at Conway and the Menai Straits would be trifling as compared with what they have already been, and yet will be ; and, further, that the cost would bear a somewhat similar proportion. The mistake that engineers in general commit in reference to the hydraulic press is this, that they trust too much to theory and calculation, and too little to practical experience—hence the reason of so many breakages and vexatious disappointments in the use of them. It has been found in practice that parti cular attention to the formation and construction of the different parts of the press is not only desirable, but actually necessary, when it is required to exert an excessive power; and I have no hesitation in con demning the presses in use for raising the tubes as being badly contrived, ill proportioned, and egre giously misapplied; and have little doubt, before the four tubes at the Menai reach their permanent restiug place, I shall be fully borne out in what I have said. In conclusion, allow me to subscribe myself A PRACTICAL MECHANIC, and One who has worked at a Press exerting a power of 2,000 tons and upwards. Sept. 14, 1849. AEROSTATION.—An aeronaut, named Arban, as cended in a balloon at Marseilles on the 2J instant. He descended the following day at Stupini, near Turin. THE SWORD CONQUERED BY SLEEP.—On Friday night a person named Hunter, residing in Castle Gate, went to bed, having seen all the doors secured. By the side of his bed he kept a sword, and under his pillow he put his trousers, in the pocket of which was bis purse, containing 61. On awaking in the morning, he found his trousers lying on the top of his sword, his money gone, and all the doors of the house open. He heard no noise during the night.—Nottingham Journal. MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER IY, 1840. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. TEM BOMNAY STEAMER AGAIN.—OR Saturday, a miserable-looking min, apparently in the last stage of cousemption, with hardly a shoe to his foot, applied to the Lord Mayor under the following circumstances:— Applicant stated he had been engaged by the Prince Castelcicala (the Neapolitan Minister) to procure evi dence to condemn the Bombay steamer; that the Prince agreed to give him 11. per week fur his services, and that he had been actively employed for upwards of 22 weeks, when his claim amounted to 221. les.; that on this claim he had received 101. on account, having a balance of 121. 10s. unpaid ; that he had for months been en deavouring to obtain . payment, but that the P r i nce re fused to pay him until he had received instructions from the King, his master. Applicant further said, that hearing the Minister was about to leave England for Siberia, and being unable to summon his Excellency before the Court of Requests, he being protected as a Minister, he had ventured to apply to his Lordship for advice, as he was actually starving in the streets. lie further stated that-his name was Cato. He was a native of Amsterdam, in Holland, and had been in England twelve years; but as he spoke English very imperfectly he had made out a written statement of his case, which he bad addressed to his Lordship. The LORD MAYOR, having perused the statement, said it was certainly a hard case, but regretted he had no jurisdiction to interfere, as Prince Castelcicala did not reside in the City, but in Princes-street, Cavendish square. The applicant then left the court, loudly expressing his determination to bring the case before the public, and to expose the Prince in every possible manner. GUILDHALL. _ On Saturday Mr. Alderman COPELAND entered the court, and taking his seat on the bench, addressed S.r Peter Laurie, stating that Mr. Herring the celebrated animal painter, had applied to him for advice under rather peculiar circumstances, which he considered of such im portance, not only to Mr. Herring, but to the public at large, that he thought it would be better it should be mentioned publicly. It appeared that Mr. Herring had discovered that some parties had been disposing of copies of his paintings for large sums o f money, represent i ng that they were original ones, and bearing his name. Under those circumstances that gentleman wanted to know what course he ought to take, particularly as his name had been forged to these spurious paintings, some of which he could lay his hands on, from information he had received. The Chief Clerk asked if tho handwriting could be proved ? - Mr. Herring said it could not. He had been in formed that two copies of his paintings were sold as originals for 1001. each. Another person asked him whether a certain work was his painting, and he in stantly informed the party that it was not, as he always had his canvas from a house in Long-acre, whereas the canvas which he inspected came from Rathbone-place, Oxford -street. Again, a gentleman named Turner, re siding in Gloucester, had given a large sum for one of these sham originals, and, therefore, he considered some stop should be put to such a system of deception. Sir P. LAURIE said it would be most desirable that frauds of this description should be put an end to. Alderman COPELAND said that the complaint did not apply to Mr. Herring alone. It applied to both Mr. Landseer and Mr. Stansfield, copies of whose works are sold to an enormous extent as originals. Mr. Herring said, that a gentleman going to America purchased what he supposed to be an original painting by Mr. Stansfield, and mentioned the circumstance to Mr. Macready, who doubted its genuineness, and a letter being written Mr. Stansfield said it was not his work. The Chief Clerk observed, that he recollected an instance where a picture of General Lord Heathfield, by Sir Joshua Reynolds, belonging to the Corporation, was lent to be copied. The artist returned the copy, which was excel lent, but nothing whatever had been seen of the original since, and the painting now remained hung up, with the words not "by Sir Joshua Reynolds," but " after Sir Joshua Reynolds." Sir P. LAURIE consulted the Chief Clerk as to what course could be adopted, and the Chief Clerk said, that with respect to Mr. Turner, the party who sold the paint ing could be prosecuted for obtaining money by false pretences, but he was of opinion that a charge of forgery could not be established, there being a decision that a signature on linen to a deed was not binding. Alderman COPELAND said, he had no doubt the public would now be upon their guard, when making what they considered purchases of original paintings. Sir P. LAURIE had no doubt the public would be thenkful for the pains Alderman Copeland had taken in bringing Mr. Herring to the court, and placing the com munity at large on their guard. Mr. Herring thanked Sir Peter Laurie, Alderman Copeland, and the Chief Clerk for their advice, and then retired. BO TV-STREET. Henry SoMick, a conductor in the service of the Ful ham Omnibus Association, was summoned before Mr. Jardine for having violently assaulted a lady named May, residing in Sloane-street. It appeared that the complainant , who was in very delicate health, about twelve o'clock on the sth instant, was in the Strand, when seeing three omnibuses coming along she put up her parasol to hail the first, but the next one having driven up rapidly at the mo ment, she was seized by the conductors of each, one laying hold of her round the waist, and the other ound her neck, and kept fighting across her face with such violence that her dress was torn, and being thrown on the footway sho was much bruised, and could not recollect anything more. Subsequently she found herself in the shop of Mr. Ackermann, the publisher, where every kindess was shown to her, she having been quite exhausted and in a fainting condition from the rougif usage she had received. Mr. Adolphus Ackermann proved seeing the com plainant knocked down twice, and her chin having bit against the kerbstone, but the confusion was so great Sat he could not speak to the defendant's identity. Mr. J. B. Proctor, landlord of the Woolpack public house, Gravel-lane, however, swore to the defendant being the person who followed the complainant into Mr. Ackermann's shop, and said, " You recollect you hailed me first." Air. JARDINE said, much as he was accustomed to hear complaints against conductors, he had never met with a more atrocious outrage upon a woman in one of the most frequented ,thoroughfares of the metropolis. He should commit the prisoner for six weeks, with hard labour, and suspend his licence for three months., MARLBOROUGH -STREET. THE CHARGE or ATTEMPTING TO EXTORT 5001.—The gentleman, and a lady whom be represented to be his daughter; who were charged at this court , on Saturday last, with attempting to extort the sum of 5001. from Messrs. Harries, Farquhar, and Co., bankers, St. James's street, Pall-mall, and who refused to give either their names or addresses, were again brou g ht b e f ore Mr. Broughton (who sat in the afternoon for Mr. Hardwick), in order to have the depositions taken on the last exami nation read to them. A lengthened report of the former proceedings has al ready appeared in this journal of Monday last, and it will be in the recollection of our readers that the case was adjourned till to-day, in order to allow time for the depo sitions to be completed, and also for the officers who had the case in band to make inquiries as to who and what the prisoners were. Smith and Shaw, the detective officers employed in the case, now stated that they be lieved the male prisoner's name to be Pym, but that he had gone by at least twenty other names. The female prisoner was not his daughter, as was alleged, but merely a woman of loose character with whom he was living. The depositions were then read, and the prisoners fully committed for trial. THE RECENT CONCEALMENT Or BIRTH AT HOR nuRY.—On Monday last Mr. Craven, the reputed father of the young female who was delivered of a child at Hor bury recently, the discovery of whose remains attracted so large a share of public attention, delivered himself up to the Wakefield authorities. He was examined in pri vate, together with the several witnesses, and his exa mination resulted in his committal to York for trial at the next assizes. Bail was accepted for his appearance, and some circumstances were alleged in his defence which raised a doubt as to the truth of the grave charge _ . or immorality involved in the supposition of his behig , the father of the child. It was alleged that Miss Craven had been receiving the addresses of a clergyman and others, and the inference drawn from the allegations was, that some one of her suitors was the probable parent. The case drew together a considerable number of per sons. Miss Craven is still at large.—Leeds Mercury. THE BOARD OF HEALTIL—The prevailing epide mic has been much felt at Westminster, where persons in high places have been attacked. Many persons in Government offices have suffered severely. A very large proportion of the staff of the Board of Health have been amongst the sufferers, from the fatigue and anxiety to which they have been subjected, owing to the great in crease of their labours and responsibilities. Mr. Chad wick was obliged to be absent for two days on account of a very serious attack, and Dr. Southwood Smith for more than a week. Mr. Austin, the secretary of the board, was also absent for a week and seriously ill, as was the chief clerk, Mr. Edwards, for three days One of the inspectors and the chief office-keeper at Gwydyr house have been confined by fever, and another has lost his wife by an attack of cholera. During the vacation Lord Ashley has been most anxious and unremitting in his attention to his duties as chairman of the Board of Health. He was relieved by the Earl of Carlisle, who took his seat as president of the board on Friday and on Saturday. Many deputations have been received, and scientific persons, native and foreign, constantly con sulted. The duties altogether have been of a most ha rassing and laborious nature. ALIVE ! ALL ALIVE OI—A clergyman at Oxford who was very nervous and absent, going to read prayers at St. Mary's, heard a showman in High-street, who had an exhibition of wild beasts, repeat often, " Walk in, walk in, ladies and gentlemen! All alive, all alive, 0!" The sound struck the absent man, and ran in his head so much, that when he began to read the service, and came to the words " and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive! (the clergyman then called out with a louder voice) shall save his soul alive! all alive! alive Or —Horace Walpole, RAILWAY PARES.—It is pretty extensively under stood that a combined move will be made next session by the great railway interests, in part to repair the madness of 1845 and 1846, by getting powers to charge higher fares. The Government is considered not to be averse, provided reductions are made in the charges for the conveyance of the mails.—Herepath's Journal. DEAL, SEPT. 15.—Wind W. to W.N.W.-IGth. N.E. —Arrd.

On Sunday the Lord Mryor sent for the City Solicitor in order to ascertain what had been done by the committee on health subsequently to the meeting on Thursday, and the following ad3reas from that body to the inhabitants was laid before his Lordship for his approval preparatory to its circulation through the City. The Lord Mayor said he entirely concurred in the sentiments expressed in the address. He thought such a document was calculated to allay, and not to excite, alarm in the minds of the citizens. The state ment that the disease was on the decline might be even more strongly expressed, but that circumstance would not warrant the committee in relaxing their efforts. The capricious character of the disease was one of its peculiarities, and it appeared to him that while the various authorities took advantage of the duration of the calamity to tranquillize the public mind it became their peculiar duty to adopt every measure which prudence suggested to avert its progress and mitigate its force. " DUKE, MAYOR. " The Committee of Health of the City of London respectfully but earnestly invite their fcllow- citizens to peruse, and consider in a spirit of candour and confidence., the following brief remarks upon a subject of eqoal im portance and interest to all. " This committee was appointed by the Court of Com mon Council to watch over the sanitary state of the city during the visitation of the cholera, and it received authority to employ the influence and resources of the corporation in cases of emergency, to aid the efforts of the local authorities, who, under the superinteradence of the Government Board of Health, were empowered to make all requisite preparations. " The committee have endeavoured from the date of their appointment quietly to discharge the primary duties that had been devolved upon them, and they had hoped that the calamity would have passed away without the necessity of calling into action any of the other powers vested in them by the Court; but this is not now the case. " On Wednesday last the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor received through the city officer of health au offi.dal in timation from the Government Board, that their expe rience in the provinces, and in some of the districts of the metropolis where the epidemic most prevailed, had demonstrated the fact, that frequent visitation by medical officers from house to house to detect, and subject to im mediate treatment, incipient cases of cholera and diarr hcea—cases which, if neglected, would lapse into that disease—afforded the only means of checking that calamity, and had been rendered instrumental, under the blessing of the Almighty, in saving a vast amount of human life which might have been sacrificed if aban doned to thoughtless carelessness and neglect. " This communication from the Government Board of Health was accompanied by a strong statement that the local boards who had been required by them to carry this system into execution in the city had partially omitted, or entirely declined, to comply with their re quirement. " In this emergency the committee, under the sanction of the Lord Mayor, and in concurrence with the recom mendation of the officer of health for the city, have au thorised that gentleman to obtain the services of an adequate number of medical practitioners to carry out the proposed system in conjunction with the medical officers of the three city unions, and the committee pre sent this appeal to the good feelings of the inhabitants of the city of all orders and degrees to give them their sanction and co-operation in the prosecution of this un dertaking. The committee are acqu doted with the spprehen sinus expressed by some persons (whose opinions are entitled to consideration) that the system of house-to house visitation by medical men, perhaps strangers to the neighbourhood, is calculatei to do mischief, by creating unnecessary alarm, and by abating the zealous exertions which are put forth in every quarter by the medical practitioners within their localities. " The committee are of opinion that these objections to medical visitation, when fairly looked in the face, will pass at once from the judgment of the intelligent, and will not be allowed a place even in the minds of the less-educated part of the community. " It is not proposed that the suggested medical visita tion shall supersede, but only act as auxiliary to the in estimable services which have been constantly reneered by night and by day by the professional men of the city, as well to the poor as to the rich, during the pre valence of this calamity. The medical gentlemen to be appointed for the intended service will co-operate with the medical officers in their several districts; and at a meeting of those gentlemen. which has been recently held they have expressed their entire satisfaction with the suggested arrangement; and this committee rely with confidence on the enlightened views and feelings of the members of a liberal profession, whether in official or in private practice, to give their generous co-operation to the proposed plan. " That accompanied by these explanations, the pro posed system of domestic visitation will excite no un founded alarm the committee feel confident. They are assured by the officer of health that the disease is on the decrease, and that, judging from its course in other countries and the period of its departure from this coun try in 1832, there is reasonable ground for hoping that the approach of the cold weather will terminate the pre sent visitation; but whether the Almighty Disposer of events shall allow a longer or a shorter duration to the calamity, the committee are assured that a calm and humble confidence in Him who holds in his hands the issues of life will not be weakened by the adoption of measures which prudence and experieuce may suggest. " By order of the Committee,. THOMAS BARKLEY, Chairman." Twenty thousand copies of the appeal have been ordered to be circulated in the City this day. A similar address, which was issued from the City Board of Health, appointed by the Corporation in 1832, had the effect of removing all apprehension from the minds of all classes, and the house to-house visitation, which was prosecuted with great vigour, inspired the afflicted with singular comfort and confidence at that period of calamity. Mr. Barnard, a member of .the City Committee of Health, ascertained that from the 17th of June to the 13th of September there were received into St. Bartholomew's Hospital 404 persons afflicted with cholera, of whom 160 died ; of the remaining 244 the great majority have been cured, and the rest are under treatment; that 48 have been buried at the expense of the hospital, and 112 by the various parishes and friends of the deceased; and that since the 23d of August no cave of cholera had been interred in the ground belonging to the hospital, the authorities having determined to send the dead to cemeteries. It must be understood that most of the fatal cases were brought to the hospital in such a state of disease as to defy the ordinary remedies administered there ; and the opinion of the medical officers is, that if they had been prescribed for at the commencement of the disorder, in all probability there would have been very few victims. The reports made to the Lord Mayor of the state of the city prisons as to the health of ate inmates is very satisfactory. Mr. Burden, the Governor of Whitecross-street Prison, states that he never recol lects a period in which the debtors' gaol was more free from disease ; that not a single case of cholera has occurred, and that the few cases of diarrhea which have taken place yielded in a very short time to the skilful and prompt treatment of Mr. Wadd, the medical officer of that establishment. Mr. Cope, the Governor of Newgate, describes the condition of that prison to be no less favourable ; and Giltspur-street Prison, although the most incommodious and crowded place of confinement in the metropolis, enjoys like exemption from the inroads of the fatal malady. Mr. Childs, the medical officer to the city police force, has not lost a single patient, although the men have been constantly day and night doing duty in the most unwholesome neighbourhoods in the city districts. We understand the course uniformly adopted by him is to attack an incipient disorder with doses of ether and laudanum, a mixture which he seems to consider to be a specific in cases of diarrhea. At the same time that intelligence of the favourable state of the health of the city districts reached his Lordship, it was intimated that there was not one Jew case in Petticoat-lane or its filthy neighbourhood. nig CONSUMPTION or BaANDT.—In the Board of Trade Tables, which we publish this day, there is a striking evidence of the rapid increase in the consump tion of brandy during the month ending the sth of August, and which we have no doubt will be even more perceptible in the month ending the sth of September, when the accounts are published. In the single month ending the sth of August, the quantity of brandy duty paid for consumption was 205,968 gallons, against 136,379 gallons in the same month last year, thus show ing an increase of no less than 69,589 gallons in the month; so that the additional duty derived from brandy for the single month was no less than 52,191/. In the quantity imported the increase is even more striking. In the same month it amounted to 552,178 gallons in the present year, against 57,325 gallons in the cor responding month of last year. The quantity imported in the first seven months of the year amounts to no less than 2,407,117 gallons, against only 1,623,096 gallons in the same period in 1848. The effects of the prevail ing epidemic are here most strikingly seen by the in creased consumption of this spirit.—Economist. The new novel, by Mrs. Trollope, entitled " The Old World and the New," in 3 vols., is published this day by Mr. Colburn, and may be had at all the Libraries. Also, just published-2.

STAMP ALLOWANCES.—On the 10th of October the present stamp allowances on the purchase of stamps of "7i per cent." will be discontinued, and "1 per cent." substituted. In the year ending the sth of January last the allowances amounted to 43 ; 5681. 10s. 3d., which have been considered excessive, and hence the alt,ration. Supposing as many stamps to be purchased under the new regulation, Goverrnre nt will obtain a large annual sum by the diminution in the rate of alio Nances under the new Act, which will come into force from and after the 10th proximo. A RICH VAGRANT.—On Wednesday morning, an itinerant organ player, who had been sleeping on the public green, discovered that ho had been robbed during the night, while asleep, of no less than 17 xovereigns, a half-crown, and some coppers.—.Norih British Daily IVeziss. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.--The Inflexible steam-sloop, Commander Hoseason, arrived yesterday from the East India station. Her dates of sailing are—from Hong Kong, May 25 ; Singapore, June 2 ; Point de Galle, 13q1; Bombay, July 4; Mauritius, 22 ; St. Helena, August 18 ; Ascension, 21 ; Madeira, Sept. 8. She did not put in at the Cape of-Good Hope, but found the Brilliant from that station at St. He lena, with dates down to the 4th of August, being 25 days later than those in The Sun of Saturday, by which we learn that the colonists have assumed an attitude of determined hostility to the convict impor tation. So universal and threatening in appearance was the manifestation upon the subject that Sir Harry Smith, the Governor, had made arrangements on the arrival of the Neptune for 'her convicts to be turned over to her Miijesty's receiving hulk Seringapatam, in Simon's thy, to await further instructions from the Home Government. The colonists, however, insisted that they should be sent away the moment they arrived. The S-Juthampton, 50, Rear-Admiral Reynolds, C. 8., the Geyser and Dee steam sloops, and the Seringapatam depot ship, were in Simon's Bay on the 2d of August. The Eurydice, 26, was at Mauritius when the Inflexible touched there, and the Orestes, 14, was in the Mozambique Channel. Admiral Reynolds was daily expecting the arrival of the Castor, with Commodore Wyvill, to relieve him in the command at the Cape, when he would proceed to Rio and relieve Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert, R.C.B. The Randolph convict-ship put into Simon's Bay in the middle ofJuly for medical assistance, in consequence of her late surgeon superintendent having committed suicide by jumping overboard at sea while labouring under temporary derangement, caused by erysipelas in the head. Mr. Lawrence, senior assistant-surgeon of the Southampton, 50, was appointed by the Admiral to fill the vacancy when the Randolph proceeded to Australia. The Calypso's freight, amounting to about 2 ; 700,000 dollars, in specie and Californiaa unrefined gold, was conveyed to the Bank on Saturday by special train on the South Coast Railway, in charge of Mr. Super intendent Sutton. The Calypso sailed on the previous evening for Chatham to be paid off. The Arrogant, 46, Captain Fitzroy, sailed yester day for a cruise at the back of the Wight to try her machinery, &c. The Philomel, Commander Wood, sailed at sunrise on Saturday morning for Plymouth, to be paid off. The Commander- in• Chief returned from leave last evening, and re-hoisted his flag on board the Victory, Captain B The Vernon, Blenheim, and Gloriana, three splendid specimens of naval architecture of the 50-gun frigate class, arrived at Spithead yesterday, and are preparing to sail for the East Indies. The Vernon is already under weigh. Mr. Edward Waller, R.N., late secretary to Rear- Admiral Reynolds at the Cape, has been compelled, from ill health, to resign his appointment, and come home passenger in the Inflexible. Wind S., light airs and cloudy. LOVE AND ASSASSINATION.—A dismal tragedy was enacted at Orleans, in the Rue de l'Aiguil lerie, on Sunday last. M. Desbordes, a young man, 20 years of age, residing with his mother in the rue Na tionale, was desirous of marrying Mdlle. Estelle Hareem, a youthful workwoman, of that city. Some time ago he addressed to her a love-letter declaratory of his affection and his honourable intentions; the young girl asked " time for reflection," knowing well that to wed in haste was to court unhappiness for life. At length, in spite of the ardent appeals and passionate intreaties of the gal lant lover, Mdlle. Estelle decided adversely to his suite, on the ground that she aas too young to marry. On Sunday morning the distracted youth presented himself to the father of whom he still called his betrothed, and asked to see her. lie was told that she was working at her atelier, in the rue de l'Aiguillerie, and immediately repaired thither. He asked permission to speak to the young girl, and was allowed to retire with her to an ad joining epartment. M. Desbordes forthwith locked the door, put the key in his pocket, and asked Estelle to re turn him his first letter, declaratory of his flame. She replied that it was at home, but that she would return it at her earliest convenience. Tlfb lover, pale and dis tracted, hereupon exclaimed, " AEI! Mademoiselle, you know that I love you dearly, and the love of a man is not to be trifled with. You must die!" Suiting the action to the word, Desbordes seized the unhappy girl by the head, drew forth a pistol, and fired at her twice. lie then retired to the other end of the room, took from his pocket two other pistols, and administered the same deadly discharge to his own person. The report of the firearms alarmed the neighbours; they rushed in, and, seizing Desbordes, conducted him to the mairie, whence he was remanded to prison. The young girl was but slightly wounded by one of the balls, but the other pe netrated to some depth into the nape of the neck. Des bordes fired into his mouth and temples. Estelle was promptly attended to and is now out of dang..r. It. is even hoped that the wounds of Desbordes are not mortal. Estelle Hareau is a girl 19 years of age, and of remark able beauty. FUNERAL OF WILLIAMS, THE CHARTIST CONVICT. —Yesterday the remains of Joseph Williams, the Chartist convict, were conveyed to their last resting place in the Victoria Cemetery, Bethnal green. A mourning coach followed the hearse, containing his father, mother, and other relatives. There were several private cabs in the rear, which were followed to the cemetery by upwards of 10,000 persons, the twen tieth part of whom were carrying the Chartist staffs of office. In accordance with the wish of the convention, Williams was interred in the same grave with the young weaver, who was killed on Sunday, June 4.1848, wLen attending ti - e , Chartist meeting held in Bishop Bonner's Fields. The usual religious ceremonies over the de ceased being gone through, the concourse left the ground, contributing liberally as they departed to a fund being raised for the ben , fit of Widow Williams and' her six children. The boxes for the subscription were held by females, and had inscribed on them " The Liberty and Victim Fund." There were a strong body of police present, but their services were not required. DEATH FROM CHOLERA OF ANOTHER CHARTIST CONVICT.—On Saturday morning, at six o'clock, James Sharpe, who was tried for sedition at the Central Cri minal Court with Ernest Jones and others, and sentenced to two years' imprisonment, died in the Westminster House of Correction, Tothill.fields, from an attack of Asiatic cholera. Mr. Langham, the deputy coroner, has fixed this day for holding an inquest on the body of the unfortunate men.— Wee/try Chremiele. THE SPECIAL FORM or PRAYER.—Yesterday being the day appointed for the offering up of a special suppli cation to the Almighty to remove from this country the pestilence which at present rages in it, the different churches in the metropolis were densely thronged, and in all of them a more than usual solemnity was observed. The visitation has in itself been so severe as to leave comparatively few who have not suffered directly or indirectly. It was probably owing to this circumstance that the recital of the form of prayer seemed, iu many of the churches, to excite an unusual feeling of devotion. The sermons, either of the morning or evening services, and in some cases both, had especial reference to the existence of the plague, and contained innumerable examples of the visitation of sin by the Divine ven geance, and of the efficacy of prayer, repentance, and humiliation as a means of removing the wrath of the Almighty and the suffering consequent upon it. TOWER HAMLETS REGISTRATION.—On Saturday Mr. Thomas Young M'Christie held a court at the Court-house, Wellclose-square, for the purpose of re vising the lists of voters for Members to serve in Parlia ment for the borough of the Tower Hamlets. Neither the Conservative nor the Liberal party was represented by an agent. There were forty-eight claims made, thirty of which were allowed, and eighteen rejected. Only one objection was taken, and it was sustained. In the course of the revision Mr. M`Christie remarked upon the charges made by the overseers for cab hire, &c., which in some instances amounted to four and five guineas, and he reduced the sum in each case to 53. ANTIQUITIES FOR T HE BRITISH M usEma.—A vessel which has arrived at Chatham from Bansbay hiss brought twenty tons weight of antiquities from Nineveh, which are intended to be forwarded to the British Museum for deposit in that national establishment. The authorities of the Treasury have given the necessary directions for the unshipment and tree delivery of the antiquities to the Museum, and arrangements have been made for the packages containing these valuable relics to be forwarded direct to the Museum without being previously disturbed, and there opened and examined by the proper authorities, in order that every care may be taken that no damage should be sustained by them. DEATH or ONE OF NELSON'S FAVOURITE OFTICERS.—Died, August 27, at Little Hampton, Sussex, Augustus B. P. P. Hamilton, Esq., second son of the late Admiral Charles Powell Hamilton, of Fir Hill, in the county of Hants, and grandson of Lord Ann Hamil ton. The deceased, who was father of Alfred Hamil ton, Esq., of Gidea Hall, in this county, was born in the year 1781 ; he was one of Lord Nelson's favourite officers, and served under that great commander with much gallantry and distinction in the late war, during which he was frequently and severely wounded. For his intrepid conduct in one of those actions he received a medal. Nursed in the cradle of war, when peace was re-established the service had few attractions left for the deceased, and he withdrew into private life, where he lived and died admired and beloved by all who knew him. He has left a widow and large family to deplore their loss.—Essex Standard. TESTIMONIAL TO A CLERGYMAN.--The congrega tion assembling at St. John's Chapel, Broad court, Long acre, presented to their minister, the Rev. Henry Anders, on Saturday last, a very handsome silver pocket Com munion Service, together with a Book of Offices, beauti fully bound. The inscription expressed that the testi monial was presented by the subscribers "as a mark of their affectionate regard." AUOLITION or OATHS.—There is a clause in the New Bankruptcy Act abolishing oaths, so far as a bank rupt and his wife may be concerned. By the 246 sec. tion, it is provided, " That all persons who are now, or shall hereafter be declared bankrupts under any fiat or petition for adjudication, and the wives of such persons respectively, shall and may be examined before the Court, after making and signing the declaration contained in the schedule to this Act annexed, without being sworn ' on oath.'" The Baron and Baroness Nahays, and Sir Henry and Lady Willock, embarked at Blackwell o❑ Saturday morning, on board the General Steam Navigation Com pany's mail steam ship Columbine, for Rotterdam, en route to Bonn, on the Rhine.

CORK, SEPT. 14.—The trade during the week 11 4 been characterised by great inactivity a nd dulness. Iv accounts from the English sid e , as we ll as th e ve ry larg o arrivals of foreign grain here, having had a most df" pres,ing effect upon this market. The supplies of bora° grain are not on so liberal a scale, the receipts for the week, owing to our farmers being busily employed with harvest work, amounting only to:—Wheat. 2,281 bar' refs, at 16s to 20, 9.1 per bar , el ; barley, 637 barrels, II 9s to Its per barrel ; oats, 6,471 b arre l s , at 7 s t o 9s 6° per barrel. So very little barley has yet appeared at market that it is difficult to pr e di ca t e o f p r i ces . As Yec they have ruled low, but our brewers not having coo! into the market, we must regard the present quotation: as being quite nominal.
