THE WIZARD OF THE NORTH AT BALMORAL. The following account of the performance of Mr. J. H. Anderson, the " Wizard of the North," before her Majesty, on the occasion of the great fête given there last week, in honour of Prince Albert's birth• day, is furnished by a correspondent of the Elgin Courant:—At five o'clock a rush was made towards the pavilion, where the Magic Temple of the Wizard was erected. To account in some measure for the anxiety of the Highlanders to witness the performance of the professor, we were informed that he was a native of the adjoining parish of Kincardine O'Neil, and, consequently was looked upon as one of their own " kith and kin." Tne Queen, Prince Albert, and the Royal children, followed by Lord J. Russell, and the small Court assembled, having taken their places, the tenantry and domestics were also per mitted to enter, and soon after the professor made his appearance and commenced his conjurations. The dif ferent astonishing feats were highly applauded, her Majesty graciously taking the lead in testifying her pleasure, while the royal children, in uncontrolled al ternations oc astonishment and mirth, gave free ex pression to their sentiments, the professor being freely permitted to "cut, burn, and destroy" her own and Prince Albert's handkerchiefs (on condition of future restoration), to the amazement of the Prince of Wales, whose displeasure was expressed at the mutilation of " papa's pretty hand kerchief." The magic coffee was pronounced excellent by her Majesty, who notwithstand ing its diabolical concoction, did not hesitate to taste it. The production by the wizard of his son, Master Anderson, as a Highland chieftain, from the magic scrap-book, excited no little astonishment in the royal mind ; and on the Honourable Mr. Anson s hat being made to produce a cart-load of toys, bouquets, cups, feathers, &c., a sharp-witted High lander suggested that the " privy purse" should next be got from it, and a few " bawbees" scattered amongst them, a suggested interference with his custodial duties which the Hon. Gentleman seemed disposed to decline. Much mirth was excited in the Royal circle by the usage to which Gibbs, one of the footmen of the household, was forced by Ar. Ander son to submit ; and on the Royal watches being made to pass through him, and appear under his chair, numerous inquiries were made as to whether he was hurt. The inexhautible bottle having been intro duced, to the evident delight of the tenantry and do mestics, the Lochnagar whisky of Mr. Begg was pro nounced the favourite; and this gentleman being present at the feast, anxious queries as to whether " ony mair might be got up by at the destel'ry after a' that bad been used the nicht ?" were put to him. The Queen and Prince having noticed this partiality of the guests, determined to test the nature of the bottle; and commanded, after all had been most amply supplied, that they also might have an opportunity of satisfying themselves as to the correctness of this in exhaustibility of the bottle. The whisky being immediately poured out, it was pronounced genuine " Begg and Byres." Lord John Russell evinced his remembrance of his colonial functions by calling for rum, which, of course, was instantly - produced. We are happy to find that besides the personal ex pressions of her Majesty, Mr. Anderson received other and more substantial marks of his success. The Royal party having retired for dinner, one of the Highlanders, deputed by many of his friends, relieved his and their doubts respecting the professor's humanity by requesting an inspection of his feet, and, being permitted to do so, rather incredulously ad mitted their genuineness. A trifling incident occurred to interrupt the performances, which was speedily terminated by the Qu een ' s interference. At the door of the pavilion a loud altercation was heard between a policeman and one of the younger female servants, who, being denied admission by the func tionary, exclaimed, " If the Queen kent that I was here she wad sune let me in to see the deevilries." Her Majesty seeing the annoyance it caused soon inquired for the reason, and ordered the girl to be admitted. PRINTERS' ALMSHOUSES. Last night the annual meeting of the subscribers to this excellent institution w . asleld at the Mechanics' Institution, Southampton-buildings, for the purpose of receiving the report of the committee, and for other business. Alr. Lawrence Thompson presided. A letter was read from Mr. Elihu Burritt, apologising for his absence ; and apologies were also received from Mr. Richard Taylor, &c. Mr. DARICIN, the secretary, read the repor,t of the committee. It commenced by congratulating the meeting on the fact that, during the last year, the great object had been accomplished of laying the foundation-stone of the institution ; and that although only three months had elapsed since the first stone was laid by Lord Mahon, they had the pleasure of inform ing them that great progress had been made with the building, and that the erection was going on in the most substantial manner. The report then went on to state the anxiety of the committee that the meeting would decide upon the necessary qualifications of candidates for the asylum, and concluded by calling attention to the financial statement. The details of this part of the report having been read, the Secretary said that although the accounts had not been fully made up, he could state that the gross amount of the donations and subscriptions received would reach to about 2,6201., and that the various expenses and charges in curred for the building amounted to 2,1121, leaving about 500/. of a balance to meet the engagements which they had to discharge. The report concluded by appealing Strongly to the friends of the institution for their continued support. Mr. DREW moved the adoption of the report, ob serving that the almshouses would not be of much use unless they were endowed, and in order to effect that important object all their exertions should be now directed. Mr. MURRAY had great pleasure in seconding the motion, which was then agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then called attention to the rules fur regulating the admission of candidates to the almshouses, which had been proposed by the Com mittee. After some alterations they were agreed to. The business then terminated. SIR ROBERT PEEL'S PORTRAIT GALLERY, DRAY TON ArANOR.--It is about twenty years since Sir Robert Peel took down the old house at Drayton Manor, occu pied by his father, and built the present mansion, from the designs of Sir Robert Smirke, on a sire closely adjoining the previous building. It is a Tisdrangular stone mansion, in the Elizabethan style, of very considerable extent, but without an ostentatious display of architecture, either internally or externally. The taste and fondness for the fine arts, which form so marked and agreeable a feature in Sir , bert's character, exhibit themselves plainly at this residence. A large corridor, or gallery, in the centre of the building, has its walls entirely covered with fine , works of art, as well as almost every avail able space on the staircase and elsewhere ; and to his high credit be it said, that almost every plc lure at Drayton Manor is by some artist of the pre sent day. Sir Robert's collection of pictures having far outgrown the means at his disposal for suitably hanging them, a gallery was erected in 1846, from the de signs and under the able direction of Mr. Sydney Smirke, A.K.A. It forms a wing appended to the north-west angle of the mansion, and extends west ward about 100 feet. It is built of a fine grained mag nesian limestone, and is designed in the style of English Renaissance, so as to harmonise with the rest of the building. The exterior is embellished with colossal statues of Rubens, Vandyke, Sir Joshua Reynolds, and Sir T. Lawrence. The gallery within is 90 feet long by 22 feet wide, and 21 feet high, being subdivided into three compartments by columns and pilasters of Italian and German marbles. The parque flooring and all the wood fittings are of wainscot and walnut tree. The walls aro painted of a strong neutral green colour. The ceiling is coved, and elaborately ornamented with corbels and pendants, &c. The pic tures are lighted by skylights in the flat central part of the ceiling. It does not come within the scope of these pages to enter into any description of the pictures which enrich the walls of this unique gallery ; suf fice 'it to say that they almost entirely consist or portraits of Sir Robert's contemporaries, eminent either as statesmen or as ram of science or litera ture, and comprise some of the chefs d'auvre of Reynolds and Lawrence. When we take into consideration the high merit of these pictures as works of art, the distin guished eminence of the persons they represent, and the brilliant character of the individual who has taken delight in paying this homage to contemporary genius, we cannot but regard the gallery at Drayton Manor with the deepest interest.—Buildings and Monuments. On Tuesday last, the children attending the Lan casterian Schools, accompanied by their parents and friends, had their annual railway excursion. For several years the teachers have annually invited the parents and friends of the children to spend a day with them in the Country. On previous o ccas i ons th e t r ip h as b e en to Wentworth, Wortley, or Wharncliffe ; this year to Work sop. The special train, consisting of nearly 40 carriages I drawn by three engines, and containing about 1,500 pas • stingers, left the station at Sheffield about ten o'clock in the morning, a n d reached Arrivedithaut accident, its destina tion in about an h our. at enjoy Worksop, the party soon spread themsel ves in v directions. The chil dren had permissio n to themselves in the Manor number Park, but by far the great e rspent the day in visiting the mansions and pa r k a. in theneighbourhood. The day was one of almost unalloyed enom e e m n o t r; the lowering clouds which hung threatening i h bad speedily been dispelled, and 8,01 i n a ll hi s power n a ln 4 majesty flung a glory o'er the f age ur nature, and though we heard many expr, ssions of fittigue as we returned, we do nut remember ;.:wring one of dissatisfaction at having spent the day in the "garden of Nottingham. shire." The arrangements on the part of the railway company were admirable, and the kindness, care, and solicitude for the Al e rofort of the passengers on the part of Mr. Binney, the superintendent of the Sheffield,sta. tion, deserve special and grateful .mention.—Shegield Times. BELGIAN HOSISES.—A vessel has arrived at the Branswick-whart, Blackwell, from the port of Ostend, having a cargo consisting entirely of horses, of Belgian produce. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 11. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) IN RE DAVID ALLAN. The bankrupt, described as of Coleman-street, . linen-merchant, and who was connected with the General Maritime Assurance Company, came up to pass his last examination, supported by Mr. Lowrance, and unopposed.

Bd. ;The bankrupt had lost 261. upon the purchase and re sale of twenty-five shares in -the Oxford and Wor cester Railway ; 201. on forty Direct London and Manchester Railway Shares; and 260/. upon twenty shares in the General Maratime Assurance Company. After the usual interrogatories had been gone through, the bankrupt was declared to have passed his last examination. SURREY ADJOURNED SESSIONS, Sept. (Before THOMAS PUCKLE, Esq., and a Bench of Ma gistrates.) THE FRAIL FAIR ONE AND THE BENEDICT.— Ann Scott, 25, a fashionably-dressed young woman, was indicted for stealing a silver watch and chain from the person of William Truscott. Mr. Charnock defended the prisoner. The proaecutor, a dapper little man of rather conseqllential appearance, said tbat he lived at No. 4, Dean-street, Tooley-street, Southwark, and that about two o'clock on the morning of the 14th of August, he was proceeding along the Bo rough towards home, a little the worse for liquor, and as he was passing S n t d - George s Church, the prisoner accosted m asked him to treat her. He refused to do s o , hold of her he was going home, when she took of Mermaid-court she sudden l y snatched arm and walked with him some di his When from near him and ran away. He immediately pursued her, and called out "Stop thief," and as she was running away a policeman caught hold of her and found the watch in her right hand. In cross-examination, witness said he had a wife and six children, and he told the former he had been robbed, but did not say by a female. Alfred West, police-constable 60 M, said that he saw the prisoner and the prosecutor walking together for some time. He was drunk, and suspecting that something was intended, he watched them into Mer maid.court. The prisoner suddenly ran out, and hearing "Stop thief;" he stopped her, and Sergeant Brandtord came up and took the watch from her right hand. She said that / the watch was her pro• perty. In defence, Mr. CHARNOCE addressed the bench. The CHAIRMAN summed up, and the jury found her Guilty. • The COuur said that such robberies had become so frequent that some example must be made; he should therefore sentence her to twelve months' hard labour at Brixton. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. George Stanley Mann, the keeper of one of the numerous eating-houses in Bucklersbury, was sum moned before the Lord Mayor, by Mr. Price, clerk to a stockbroker, under the following circum• stances:— . Mr. Charles Price, who is a young man of gentle manlike appearance and address, made a statement, of which the following is the substance : The complainant, on the sth of September, dined at the defendant's house, and received amongst change for a half-sovereign a bad sixpence from him. Tne complainant pointed out the spurious money to the defendant, who, however, thought proper merely to it, and walk away. The complainant then bent the sixpence, and again called the attention of the landlord to it, whereupon the latter threw down another sixpence, and began to curse and abuse his customer without measure. The complainant walked out of the house, spoke to a policeman, who accom panied him back and asked the defendant to make an apology for such gross language in the presence of the officer. So reasonable a demand, instead of being complied with, had the effect of provoking the land lord not only to the use of worse language, but to the • exercise of personal violence. To the astonishment of gentlemen who were in the other parts of the room the defendant struck Mr. Price with his double fist on the back of the neck, and pushed him out of the house. Mr Joseph Hare, a merchant, who was at a distant part of the dining•room when this remarkable scene took place, described the surprise and confusion caused by the brutal violence of the pepon charged ; and the policeman who accompanied the complainant into the house, when the latter sought the satisfaction of an apology, stated that the gentleman did not retaliate a word of the insolent abuse which had been heaped upon him. The defendant, who employed a solicitor upon the occasion, denied that he had struck the defendant, and stated that he had been exasperated by what he con sidered to be an imputation upon his character by the complainant, as if he were capable of the offence of uttering bad money. The LORD MAYOR—I certainly consider the case a very gross one, which it is impossible not to take serious notice of. The defendant here begged leave to apologise to the complainant, and implored that allowance might be made for such a departure from his usual course of conduct. The LORD Mivon—My decided impression is that I ought to send the case to the sessions. The defendant most earnestly entreated that his Lordship would adjudicate upon the question, and said he was ready to pay any penalty which the Bench might be disposed to inflict. The LORD MAYOR (the complainant having made no objection to the proposal for a prompt adjudication) said—Well, as I perceive that you are really sorry for your conduct, and as you make an apology, which the gentleman seems willing to accept, I fine you the sum df 21. and costs. The defendant paid the penalty and departed, appa rently well satisfied with the result. GUILDHALL. Yesterday, a carman, named Mark Grover, of No. 4, Valentine place, Blackfriars-road, was charged before Mr. Alderman Lawrence with having violently assaulted two men under the following circum stances : Lewis Hammond, of No, 4, William-street, Ken nington, said that about two o'clock the previous afternoon he was driving his omnibus in Bridge street, Blackfriars, and was about passing the defendant, who was driving a horse and cart between him and the rank of cabs, but in consequence of one of them being rather out of the line, he saw there was not room, and therefore called to the driver of the cart to pull his horse nearer to the pavement. Instead of doing so, he caught hold of the horse's head, and pushed him against the omnibus, evidently with the intention of causing a collision, but he did not succeed. On passing he gave the cart-horse a slight touch with the whip, to make it move on one side, when th e pri soner commenced giving him a severe horsewhipping. He leaped off the omnibus, and was savagely attacked by the prisoner, who, using the butt-end of his whip, gave him a tremendous blow over the head, which felled him to the ground, and he was conveyed in an insensible state to the nearest surgeon's, where he had his wounds dressed. Alderman LAWRENCE—How far was the prisoner from the edge of the pavement ? Hammond—From two to three feet. Alderman LAWRENCE asked for the medical cer tificate. Samuel Kelt, the officer, here handed it up. It was as follows : " I hereby certify that Lewis Hammond is seriously injured, the scalp bruised and cut, and the temporal artery divided. " CHARLES HOLDENS, Surgeon. " 13, New Bridge-street, Sept. 11, 1849." Nicholas Curass, the conductor, corroborated the above evidence, and added that on his attempting to interfere, the prisoner gave him a very heavy blow, cutting through his hat and inflicting a severe wound on the crown of his head. A letter was handed to the Alderman from the pri soner's master, Mr. P. Wood, of the Surrey saw-mills, wha gave him an excellent character. Alderman LAWRENCE —Well, prisoner, what have you to say in defence ? Grover—Why I was not more than half a foot from the kerbstone. When the complainant called out I ' pulled the horse on the pavement, and as soon as he had got a little way passed he whipped my horse and I whipped him. Alderman LA WRENCE-But what do You say tc, using butt - end - of the whip? I Groyer—why he was coming to strike me, and I used the whip as I did to prevent him. _ Alderman LAWRENCE said that whatever the omni. bus driver did to the prisoner's horse, nothing could justify him in using the butt-end of his whip, an d breaking the heads of two men. He should, there. fore, fine him 40s. for the assaults, or one month's imprisonment, and he hoped it would be a caution to him in future. The money not being forthcoming, he was con veyed to prison; but at a later period of the day his wife appeared with it, and she was directed to take it to the Giltspur-street Compter, where her husband was. _ _ THE BITER BIT. A well-known young thief, named John Wheeler, was charged with attempting to steal a pocket•handkerchief. It appeared from the statement of Mr. George Spooner, of 28, King-street, Smithfield, that he had lost several pocket-handkerchiefs lately, and he there fore made up his mind to see if he could not detect the depredator on his pocket. He accordingly took the precaution of pinning his handkerchief to his pocket, and on coming out of the Red Lion public house he waited for an instant at the door, when he suddenly felt a tug at his pocket, and on turning sharply round he saw the prisoner with the handker chief in his hand, although it was still pinned to the pocket. He then gave the prisoner into custody. Wheeler, in defence, said he knew nothing of the handkerchief. He merely pushed against the gen tleman, and was given into custody. Alderman LAWRENCE, not believing him, sentenced him to three months' hard labour in the House of Correction. '- .~ _ MARYLEBONE. BURGLARY AND ROBBERY.—POLICE VIGILANCE. —Yesterday Edward Austin and Alfred Bailey were placed at the bar before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Broughton, charged with having burglariously entered the dwelling-house of Mr. Brandard, an artist, resid ing at No. 41, Ampthill-square, Hampstead .road, and stolen therefrom property to a considerable amount. Prosecutor gave evidence to the effect that on the same moring, about five o'clock, he was aroused from his sleep by a constable, who told him that he had found his front door open. He hastily arose from his bed, and dressed himself, and on going down stairs he ascertained that his drawers had been plundered of wearing apparel and many articles of jewellery. It further appeared that when Lockerby, 180 S, went to examine the premises, he saw upon a chair in the parlour the impression of a foot, and he felt satisfied that it was that of the prisoner Bailey. A sharp look-out was kept for the'parties by him (Lockerby) and Mason, also of the S division. The prisoners were both taken into custody at ten in the morning, as they were walking down Wilsted-street, Somers town. Each had upon him a shirt belonging to the prosecutor, and a silk handkerchief also. This was taken from the neck of one of the prisoners. The officers, in reply to the Magistrate, said that the entry into the house had been through the parlour window. Some Weiler matches, which had been picked up by the police, had been strewed about in different apartments. One of the prisoners had, upon a former occasion, been convicted, and the other was a well-known associate of notorious thieves. The prisoners, who had nothing to say, were re. Landed till Tuesday next. EMBEZZLEMENT.—.Richard Glenister was placed at the bar for re-examination, on the charge of having embezzled money received by him for and on account of his master, Mr. Hood, a haker, carrying on busi ness at 28, Park terrace. The cases were clearly made out against the priso ner, and upon them he was committed for trial. LAMBETH. Yesterday John Perry Hening, Henry Roberts, and Thomas Croton, who have undergone several ex aminations on charges of defrauding the public, by representing themselves as belonging to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which society was not in existence, were again placed at the bar, before the Hon. G. C. Norton. Mr. Ferguson, the chief clerk to the Mendicity Society, the members of which are the prosecutors in the present case, informed the magistrate that amongst the papers found in the possession of the prisoner Hening was a document, stating that a meeting of the committee of the Animals' Friend Society had been held at the Duke of Clarence public house, in the London-road, and that the financial portion of the business could not be proceeded with, as there were not a sufficient number of persons pre sent to form a quorum. To contradict such a state ment, he (Mr. Ferguson) should call and put into the witness-box Mr. Fisher, the landlord of the house in question, who would prove that no such meeting took place at his house. Mr. Fisher was here sworn, and deposed that an application had been made to him some time since to let his room to certain persons, but he understood they were a society of Odd Fellows. He did not, however, let the room, and consequently there had been no meeting at his house, nor had he ever seen any of the prisoners, to his knowledge. The prisoner Hening here remarked that it was possible the circumstance might have escaped the re collection of Mr. Fisher, but true it was that there had been a meeting of the committee at the Duke of Clarence about twelve months ago. This Mr. Fisner denied, and said that about that time, three private societies of a certain description were held, and he could safely swear that he had no let a room of his for the use of any committee or so ciety, as he should not, on any account, let any com mittee sit in a room in his house without knowing what the business and objects of such committee were. Mr. Ferguson here informed the magistrate that since the last examination he had received from Mr. Frederick Stockdale, whose name appeared in the printed books as the treasurer to this "Animals' Friend Society," a letter, to which he wished to direct his Worship's attention. Mr. NORTON replied that he had also received a letter from Mr. Stockdale, .which he should read. His Worship here read the following letter : " Sheldon, Teignmouth, Sept. 10, 1848. " Sir,—lt is impossible to describe the nature of my surprise and the indignation I feel by finding any name introduced on the examination of three indivi duals at the Lambeth Police.court. Now, Sir, I beg most distinctly to state that I never authorised any person to add my name as treasurer to this apparent fic titious Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, neither have I ever received, either directly orindirectly, know nothing whatever of the parties implicated, any sums of money on account of such society. I excepting Hening, who I accidentally met some years since in Exeter. I accidentally met him a second time, on leaving my late residence, two years since , when he said he was collecting subscriptions; but I told him it was not in my power to become a subscriber. Some months since a person called at my residence, and I was not a little surprised to find that my name had been used clandestinely, and not knowing the party I sent a friend to expostulate on the impropriety of his conduct; and isagfoorosn: rai. luweffi upon lirnnordohs opportunity pnci s efoch o reol Tuesday'set annua m l es mynne respectsealtt y ysthaes rr ofyn,mdeclarewriting, mamrniesltedsui moment tahe h gana 'a ; inde t taieollohnl nefa rious ea a abxv m nee ga e ph c m u ra c e i p b ot sp e s u r y a n m i c ntt t e y r o d oaaf cf n t s eo h st e a m ta e l cht ien et e i re main, Sir, your very obedient servant, " FREDERICK W. L. STOCKDALB. " To the Hon. G. C. Norton, Lambeth Police Court." Mr. NORTON, after reading the above letter, re marked that he thought that Mr. Stockdale would be a most important witness on the trial of the prisoners, and recommended Mr. Fergusson to have him in attendance. Hening hoped he would attend, when he had no doubt he would give a very different version of the affair. It was natural to expect that Mr. Stockdale, after the ex arte statements that had gone forth to t t o h e m p e u n b t i o c n , s i he l (Hen i ng)society, but ha d h he s pe nt fo rg ot a Sunday with him just as he was about to leave town, when the whole of the conversation related to the business of the society.

Yesterday William Grindley, Et respectably-dressed young man, who said he was the son of Captain Grindley, of the 43d Light Infantry, was placed at the bar before Mr. Combe, charged by Mr. Isaac Jacobson, jeweller, of Oxford street, with stealing a valuable dressing-case under the following circum stances:— It appeared from the evidence that on Monday morning, about a quarter to ten o'clock, the prisoner entered the shop of the prosecutor and requested the shopman to show him a dressing-case. He produced several, which the prisoner carefully inspected, when he said they were inferior in quality. The shopman then told him that he had some silver dressing cases, and produced one; on examining which the prisoner said it would exactly suit, representing that he was a dealer, and he was anxious to show it to a gentleman on approbation, and he would be allowed something for his trouble. Mr. Jacobson, jun., entered the shop at the time, and on the circumstance being explained to him, he consented to let the prisoner take it with him, conditionally that the shopman should accom pany him. The prisoner said that the gentleman re sided at North Bank, and willingly assented to the shopman going -with him. They crossed the Re gent's Park together, until they arrived at North Bank, where a board was stuck up at No. 35, North Bank, with an inscription that the house was " to let." The prisoner then told the shopman that the gentleman who had deputed him to procure him the dressing-case was going to the continent, and was about to let the house, and requested him (the shopman) to let him have the desk to show, and to wait outside, whilst he (the prisoner) took it to show the 'gentleman. The shopman unsuspectingly parted with the dressing-case, and the prisoner rang the bell, and the door having been opened by a fe male servant, he entered with the property. The shopman waited for a short time, and on peeping into the parlour window, he found the place destitute of furniture, and his suspicions being aroused he rang the bell, which was answered by an elderly woman, and on making inquiries he was informed that a man had entered the huuse to request permis sion to get over the wall at the back part of the house, saying that he had lost a key belonging to a desk which he had in his possession. Witness saw no more of the prisoner or the property until he was in custody. On the same forenoon, between eleven and twelve o'clock, the prisoner offered the desk in pledge at Mr. Redpath's, pawnbroker, in Seymour-street, Euston-square, for 51., but .being suspected he wa'. questioned as to whether it was his own property. He said he had been sent with it by Mr. George Fletcher, cheese-merchant, of Goodge street, Tottenham-court road. The shopman to the pawnbroker spoke to a policeman, and said he would go with the prisoner to Mr. Fletcher, but on the road he called the police. man, whom he saw following them, and gave himself into his custody, and in the station-house he gave his name Wm. Edwards, but when at the bar of this court, William Grindley. The prisoner was asked what he had to say ? The prisoner denied any dishonest intention, begging of Mr. Combe not to send him to prison. He was the son of Captain Grindley, who served in the 40th Light Infantry with Colonel Chesterton, the governor of the House of Correction, with whom he was. on intimate and visiting terms. He was also the friend Lieutenant Tracey, the governor of Tothill-fields prison, the governor of the House of Detention, and many persons of distinction ; and he did not wish to be disgraced by being incarcerated in prison on a charge of felony. Mr. COMBE, however, remanded him until the pawnbroker and other necessary evidence could be produced, and on being placed at the bar yesterday he affected to be very much perturbed in mind, paced the bar backwards and forwards, bellowing loudly whilst holding his handkerchief to his eyes and his hand on the top of his head. • • Henry Hall, 264 S, said he had made inquiries about the prisoner, and ascertained that he had been twice convictedtof felony. Mr. COMBS told the prisoner that all his acting and bellowing nonsense would not suit there. It was all assumed stuff. Prisoner—l know lam guilty. I have acted dis honestly and disgraced myself. May I send for my friends ? Mr COMBS—You would not send for your friends yesterday. You then claimed acquaintanceship with Colonel Chesterton, of the House of Correction, say ing your father was with him in the 40th Light in fantry. You may now send to your friend, Colonel Chesterton, if you like ; and also to Lieutenant Tracey, of Tothill-fields. Prisoner—l can assure your Worship that what I have said is true ; I have been on friendly terms with Colonel Chesterton; I have . visited and dined with him in the prison ; and was 'on a, visit to him at the time that Medhurst, the murderer. of his'schoolfellow, was confined in the House of. Correction ; but I was never in the prison as a convict. Mr. ComnE—You may say what you like, but I shall not believe you after the many lies you told me yesterday. Prisoner—lf I did tell lies yesterday, it was only to clear myself of the charge against me. I can assure you I would not tell* a gratuitous lie. Cir cumstances caused me to do what I have done. Mr. COMBE—Were you ever charged at Maryle bone Police -court ? Prisoner—Yes, but it was a false charge. Mr. COMBS—Were you charged there more than once ? Prisoner—Yes, twice; I borrowed a glazier's knife to put in a pane of glass, and they said I stole the knife. Officer—Yes, and a hammer too.—(A laugh.) Do you remember being charged with stealing a sove reign ? The prisoner hung down his head and said nothing to this. _ .Mr.Comue—Do you remember t hat ? Prisoner (hesitatingly, and in an under tone)—Yes, I do. Mr. COMBE-Why, I never met with a more impudent thief in all my life. • The prisoner was about to say something else, when Mr. Mallet, the clerk, told him that nothing he could say here in reference to the charge would serve him. The several witnesses were examined in confirma tion of the evidence, arid the property was identified. The prisoner entreated Mr. Combe by name not to remand him to prison. Mr. ComBE—.L shall fully commit you for trial on the charge. Prisoner—Oh, pray, do let me send for my friends. Mr. COMBE said he would eventually be committed to Newgate for trial ; but he would remard him, to allow him an opportunity to send for or communicate with his friends. CHARITY.—Our reporter has been requested to state that 2/. have been forwarded to the poor-box of this Court by " E. F.," soliciting an acknowledgement in the newspapers. THAMES. J. B. Cutler, proprietor of the Red Lion public house, Batty-street, Commercial-road East, was charged with keeping his house open for the sale of beer and spirits within the prohibited hours on Sunday week. Mr. Childe, of the firm of Wire and Childe, attended for the defence. Dunimore, 127 H, proved that he saw several per sons enter and leave the house from nine to ten o'clock on Sunday, the 2d instant. Amongst them was a woman who brought out a half-pint of gin, which witness ascertained to be such. After this discovery, a child was leaving the house with a vessel in her hand, but defendant, on seeing witness, snatched it from her, and hastily closed the door. Witness then knocked, and the door was opened, but the defendant, when charged with Sunday trading, said he had served nothing that morning. Mr. Childe for the defence, called W m . Wilki nson, a retired publican, who swore that he was in the Red Lidn all the morning, and during the time no one came into the house. Mary Ward, a servant girl in the defendant's em ployment, swore that she went out several times from nine until half-past ten in the morning alluded to, and she was positive no female was served with beer or spirits during that period. Mr. YARDLEY observed that the solicitor would have exercised a wiser discretion had he abstained from calling witnesses. It was shocking and disgraceful in the last degree to bring persons forward to forswear themselves in so gross and reckless a manner. There could be no doubt that the defendant had violated the law, and tie must pay a fine of 51. The fine was instantly paid. A publican, named Schooley, proprietor of the Rain bow, in Burn • street, North-street, St. George-in-the- East, was summoned for a similar offence on the same day. Three constables of the H division distinctly proved the Sunday trading. • A man named Tate, who said he lodged two years in the house, was called for the defence. He said he was in and out collecting the pots four or five times, and could swear that no person had been served during the morning. Another witness, named Summers, deposed to the same effect. Mr. YARDLEY observed that the line of defence in these cases exhibited a terrible relaxed state of moral feeling. One man, who, by his own admission, had been in and out four or five times, swure that nobody had been served. He could not put such testimony against the evidence of three police-constables, who had no interest in the question. The case was a shocking one. The defendant was charged with a minor offence, and, to avoid the penalty, he suborned witnesses to perjure themselves. The defendant was then fined 51. and costs ; but on pleading inability, he was allowed a fortnight for the payment. ROBBERY IN THE LONDON DOCKS.—Willianterohn Williams, a carman, out of employ, was charged with having, in conjunction with another unemployed car man, named Sims, been concerned in stealing a bottle of quicksilver from one of the warehouses in the London Docks. Sims has, already been committed on the charge. The felony was rather ingeniously contrived, and would seem to imply connivance on the part of others not in custody. It appeared that on the 21st ult. a cart was sent to the dock to take some cochineal from one of the warehouses to Butt street, Spitalfields. After it was loaded, the prisoner took the nose-bag froni off the horses' head, and emptied half the contents into the waggon. Sims, the man previously sent for trial, then brought out a bottle of quicksilver from one of the warehouses, which he handed to the prisoner, who placed it in the nose-bag, which he again slung over the horse's head. The action was observed by some of the men at work in the adjoining warehouses, who gave information to Mr. Sayer, the dock constable; he instantly took Sims into custody. The prisoner Williams was taken into custody on Monday evening. Thee—evidence was perfectly conclusive, and he too was committed for trial. PARTRIDGE KILLING EXTRAORDINART.—We have been informed that Mr. Clift, butcher, on Sunday morn leg last, about four o'clock, while standing in an orchard adjoining the railway between Gloucester and Bristol, and about seven miles from Gloucester, observed a par tridge rise just before the down mail train, and it ap peared as if directly struck down by the engine, which was at full speed. Mr. Clift proceeded to the line, and there found a covey of five partridges lying dead. What is the strangest part of the matter is, that only one of the birds seems to have been touched by the train; the others seem to have be en frighte ne d to death.-43ristq Mirror.

(From the London New Price Current, Sept. 11.) SUGAR,—To-day the West India Sugar market pre sented a firm appearance, and the rates of Friday were obtained for all sorts. There was a much better demand for refining purposes, and grocers were buyers to a fair extent. The pur chases amounted to 700 hhds, &c., including a public sale of 105 hhds Bzrbadoes, which went at steady rates; fine yellow at 39s 6d to 40s 6d, and mid dling to good at 37s 6d to 393 per cwt. The quantity of Sugar on offer to-day was less than for some time past, and holders have more confidence. REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was dealt in with caution for home trade purposes, and rather lower rates were accepted. Sales of brown Lumps were made at 47,, 6,1 to 48s, and fair grocery 48s 6d to 495. Bonded Crushed Sugar met with a brisker sale at 29s to 30s per cwt. _ _ MAURITIUS —This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was dealt in with more freedom by private treaty at former rates, and none was offered at public sale. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was more activity in the market for Bengal Sugar; 3,744 bags at auction all sold—good yellow, like Mauritius 38s 6d to 395, fine 39s 6d to 40s 6d, middling 37s 6d to 38; fine strong yellow 41s 6d to 42s 6d, mid soft yellow 35s to 3is, good .376 to 38s, fine grainy 43s 6d to 44s 6d. Madras met with a better aale by private treaty, and full rates were paid. FOREIGN —To-day there was no public sale of Foreign Sugar, and by private treaty little business was con eluded; there are also free sellers at former rates. MOLASSE , .--Only a limited business has been con cluded in West India, and a desire is evinced to sell at from 16s to 183 6d fur low to fine quality. East India Treacle has been dealt in with caution, and sellers are read, to ace.pt 153 to 15s 6d per cwt: there is a fair amount on off.r. COFFEE.—rnis afternoon a public sale of 503 cases of CoffeP, at 4d duty, went at stiff rates, fine fine ordinary at 59s to 59s 6d, fine ord 56s to 58s, good ord 48s to 50s, in.erior 42s 6d to 445, and pea berry 61s to 64s 6d. Native Ceylon met with less attention, but holders were firm, and 2,040 bags at auction partly sold at full rates, good ordinary at 39s 6d to 40s, real good ordinary 40s 6.1 to 41s, and damaged 34s to 395. Of Plantation 140 casks 446 bags were offered and all disposed of at about former rates—fine fine ord at 503 to 54s 6d, good and fine ord 41s 6.1 to 49-4, and pea- Vrry 56s to 58s 6d, but sales went less brisk. 162 nags Madras sold at 363 61 to 38s for low good ordinary nixed. COCOA.— Foreign continues to meet with little atten tion, although there are sellers at the moderate rates of 261 to 28s per cwt, and the stock does not get smaller. Fab: red West India is still in scanty sup • ply, and is wanted at late rates, but inferior is plentiful, and as there is not many buyers prices are on the decline ; there is, however, still a greater consumption than in the former year, but the stock is heavier. For grey Trinidad the value is from 38s to 425, and red 40s to 50s per cwt. From present rates little variation is expected to take place, as there is no prospect of a falling off taking place in the consumption. TEA.—There is no variation to record in the value of Black, and the market has a firm aspect, but only a limited business has been concluded during the last few days. The value of common and good ord sound Congou is 9d to 10d, and only a limited quantity is on offer. Full rates are asked for Green, yet only a limited trade has been done since our last report. Scented Caper and Orange Pekoe have been in good demand, and stiff rates are paid. Public sales of Tea are advertised for Tuesday next; at present 10,000 pkgs are declared. RlCE.—Holders of white Bengal are desirous to realise, and submitted to a reduction on former rates of 6d per cwt. At auction 3,500 bags went from 9s to lOs for mid and good white, and at 7s 61 to 8s for low broken. Other sorts of East India are not much wanted, and must be quoted rather cheaper. At auction 860 bags of pinky white Madras were sold at 8s to 8s 6d. The value of cargo is 7s 3d to 7s 6tl, and pearl barley 8s to 8: 6d per cwt, but the supply consists chiefly of white Rice of the better sorts. Cleaned Rice continues in ex cellent request; town dressed Carolina at 23s to 28s, and Patna of low to fine quality at 12s to 20s per cwt. Sago Flour is worth 23s to 245. Tapioca is scarce. For Arrowroot rather lower rates have been acceded to. SPIRITS.—The sales made in East India Rum have been small, and there is a desire to sell proof at Is 3d to ls 30. Of Leeward Island only small parcels have been sold at Is 40 to is sd. Demerara has been operated in with caution, and can be obtained at is 10d to 2s 2d for 28 to 40 per cent, over proof. For Jamaica the market is still in a quiet state, shippers and home dealers purchasing with caution, and the market is well supplied with low and good mid, but fine is in small supply. There are sellers of 20 to 29 per cent over proof at 2s 2d to 2s 6d; 30 to 29 over 2s 7d to 35., and favorite marks 3s 3d to 4s. Brandy continues in ex cellent demand, and an impression exists that prices will rule higher. The value of Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1843 is 4s to 4s 2d, 1847 ditto 4s 6d to 5s Bd, 1846 ditto 5s 8d to 5s 10d, 1845 ditto .5s 10d to 6s, inferior marks 2s 6d to 3s 10d, and B ,rceaux 2s 2d to 2s 3d. Geneva has been in fair demand at Is 9d to Is 10d fur exportation sort, and fine at 2s 3i4 to 3s 3d. For British made Spirit the market is still firm at 9s Bd, for fine at 9s Bd, and for Gin at 8s to 8s 6d for 17 and 22 per cent under proof. SPICES.—Fur Black Pepper the demand has been limited by private treaty, both for home use or exporta tion. Pod is cheaper, and a public sale of 400 bags went at from 34s ed to 38s for low to middling, but the whole sold. For white a fair sale exists at 4d to Sd. A good trade exists for Nutmegs, and full rates are paid. A public sale of 30 cases went at from 2: 10d to 3s for mid and good mid brown. Ginger is still in fair demand by some dealers, the rates paid are fully equal to this day week. At auction 100 cases Cochin were sold at 83s to 108 s for mid to good bold, and 180 packages of Ja maica at 3113 s to 515 s for ord to good mid. 350 poekete of Bengal went at 21s to 22s 6d for shipping sort. Pimento is still in small supply, and much wanted at 4d to 4id. The rates paid for Cloves are fully equal to this day week. SALTPETRE.—To-day full rates were asked for Salt petre, but less business was concluded by private treaty. At auction 297 bags Calcutta were taken in at 27s 6d fur 6 per cent. refraction. Faurr.—To-day the price of New Valencia Raisins opened at 465. A vessel has arrived with about 60 tons. INDIGo.—East India continues to be operated in with caution for home trade purposes, but there exists a fair demand for export, and last sales rates are supported, but good and fine qualities from 4s 3d to 43 10d per lb have been the most in request. Of Madras a fair quantity has been disposed of at the previous value. The quantity declared fur public competition on the 9th of October is 17,965 chests. further reduction has taken place for Russian, and home dealers continue to operate with cauT tion. There are sellers of fine P.Y.C. at 38s 3d to 38s ad per cwt. Poly a limited business has been concluded for delivery in the last three months of the Jeer, and sales can be made at 37s 6d to 38s. Other sorts of Tallow have been further reduced in value, as the supply continues to exceed home dealers' wants. At auction 440 casks of Sydney were only in part sold at 333 to 373 9d for low to fine quality ; 316 casks and 284 boxes South American 34s to 46s 3d; 4 casks of Gibraltar 40s, and 3 casks Oporto at 35s 6d. For auction on Friday 1,600 casks of Tallow are declared nearly all South American. Fat is 23 lid per stone. OILS.—An extensive demand has been experienced for Linseed Oil for home trade purposes, and the latest rates paid have been 27s to 27s 3d per cwt. For forward delivery several contracts have been entered into ; the market has a firm tone, and there is also still a large consumption. Rapeseed Oil is still in good request, and the market is firm: pale at 39s to 40s, and brown at 38s to 38s 6il. Cocoa Nut continues to meet with little attention, and sellers are wil- ling to accept 32s to 35s for fair to fine quality,and several parcels are on offer. The market for Olive is firm, and there continues to be a good sale ; Gallipoli at 431 t o 44/, and other sorts 421 to 43/. Palm is only in limited request, still consumption does not fall off, and 303 6d to 31s per cwt is the value of first sort, whilst the sup ply is moderate. Seal met with a good home trade demand, and there is firmness in the market. Sales of pale have been made at 331 to 341, straw and tinged 311 to 321105, yellow and brown 281 to 301. Purchases to a fair extent have been made in Cod at 271 5s to 271 10s, and the market is firm. For Southern sales of low and mid quality have been made at 28/ lOs to 29/ lOs for low and mid, and at 301 to 31l for good to fine. Holders of Sperm have confidence, and more has been offered at auction, whereas a fair business has been concluded by private treaty, and for fine Colonial the rates paid aro 801 to 811 per tun. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. IPSWICH, SEPT. 11. Our market was very well supplied with wheat to• day ; the quality very fine. Salps were heavy, and prices 2s per quarter lower. Barley and oats Is cheaper.

Taylor and Bright's circular states—We have a large arrival of all descriptions of grain during the past week, the prevalence of easterly winds having brought in the Baltic fleet all at once, some vessels having even beat th e ad v i ce o f their clearance at the Sound. A good deal of the wheat is for inland account, and does not come on this market; and a further pro portion being of inferior, and for the moment wholly unsaleable, quality, the amount of really fresh useful wheat is by no means large; still the trade must be re. ported as dull in the extreme, and concession even upon the low rates of last Tuesday has been necessary to effect sales. The weather has been favourable, and harvest progresses rapidly. We bad again a small attendance of tarmers at to-day's market, and the little old wheat shown was taken off at about last week's prices. More now wheat offering, the quality various, not much fine, but the condition improved, and yield reported to be satisfactory. We cannot quote the best runs of foreign red any lower, indeed they are rather worse to buy, but the sale of any other description is difficult in the extreme. There is less pressure on the barley market than so large an arrival would have led us to an ticipate, and consumptive demand is good for useful grinding qualities. Making is not good to sell, so few maltstera having begun work. Beans of first quality are saleable at our currency. Peas, except interior for grinding, are difficult of sale, as is also the case with oats, for which the demand is very limited. With moderate arrivals of linseed, and an improved demand for oil, the market must be written is to 2s per quarter dearer for all descriptions. Cakes on the contrary i : m a a r l e l easier to buy. There is no rapeseed, ex ce p t cotchels of new English on the market; rape cakes are worth fully 85s for best quality. Somewhat more l in quiry, on speculation, for bones, and a n advance on Into safes is obtainable. The following are the present prices of grain:— s. 5.

The exports in the same time are light. The weather was fine up to Sunday night, but we have since had a good deal of rain. There has been a fair consumptive demand for wheat and flour at last Tuesday's prices; fine brands of the latter brought 23s to 235 6d per 1961 b, but inferior qualities of new could be obtained at 18s to 19: per 1961 b. Oats and oatmeal slow sale, at prices rather in favour of buyers. Sack flour met with a moderate retail inquiry at late rates.

All young chickens, ducks, and turkeys, should be kept under cover, out of the weather, during rainf seasons. 2. Twice or thrice a week pepper, shallots, shivest or garlic, should be mixed up with their food. 3. A small lump of assafcetida should be placed is the pan in which their water is given them to drink. 4. Whenever they manifest disease by the drooping of the wings or any other outward sign of ill-health, little assfcetida, broken into small lumps, should ba mixed with their food. 5. Chickens which are kept from the dunghill while young seldom have the gapes ; therefore it should be the object of those who ha►•e the charge of them so to confine the hens as to preclude their young from the range of barn or stable-yards. 6. Should any of the chickens have the gapes cni% up small portions of assafcetida, rhubarb, and peppery in fresh butter, and give each chicken as much of the mixture as will lie upon one-half the bowl of a small teaspoon. 7: For the pip the following treatment is judicious Take off the indurated covering on the point of the tongue, and give twice a day, for two or three day" a piece of garlic the size of a pea. If garlic cannot be obtained onion, shallot, or shives will answer ; bu t if neither of these be convenient, two grains of Ws"' pepper to be given in fresh butter will answer. 8. For the snuffles the same remedies as for the gapes will be found highly curative, but in addition to them it will be necessary to melt a little assaftetidn in fresh butter, and rub the chicken about the nostrils. taking care to clean them out. 9. — Grown up ducks are sometimes taken off rapidly by convulsions; in such cases four drops of rhubarb and four grains of cayenne pepper, mixed in fresh butter, should be administered. Last year we lost several by this disease, and this year the same syrer toms manifested themselves among them ; but we arrested the malady without losing a single duck, by a dose of the above medicine, to such as were ill. One of the ducks was at the time paralysed, but was thus saved.—Canterbury Journal. RAILWAY z•-HARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, SEPT. 11.

COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.—MILFORD, SEPT. S' —lntelligence has just been received here of a VI serious collision having occurred in the Channel betwee n her Majesty's steamer Salamander and a coasting sl°,?, called the Lamb, M r . J ones master, which ended i n the latter immediately foundering, and the somewhat mire" culous escape of all on board. It appears that in the course of Thursday the Salamander left Plymouth for Pembroke, in charge of Mr. Davey, supernumerary master of the Impregnable, with Mr. Henderson, rna s i r-attendant i)evonport Dockyard, an d a party o f riggers on board, for the purpose of navigating the Oe" tavia round to Plymouth or Portsmoth. About three o'clock in the afternoon, however, the Black Head, near Falmouth, bearing N.E. by N., eight miles distant , and the Lizard N.W. by W., the sloop was seen standing on a starboard tack towards shore, beating to windward. There was a stiff breeze blowing -E• by N., and a heavy sea on. The crew of the sloop say they saw the steamer approaching, and anticipating mischief from her course, they hallooed to her as she neared to alter her helm. Whether their cries were heard has not transpired. Suffice it to say, however, that the Salamander continued her course and spee d ' and came in fearful collision with the Lamb on the star" board bow, cutting her down below the water's edge. With such a terrible injury not a moment was to be lost in getting clear of the wreck and rescuing the bands o n board. Ropes wer e l owere d d own the sides of the steamer for the crew to seize hold of, and after some dif ficulty all the poor fellows were rescued. In a few 1:0° - merits the vessel having filled heeled over and went down in deep water, the crew losing everything but the dress they had on. The Lamb, we understand, belonged to Portmadoe, and was on a voyage to Portsmouth froth Portdinorwick. The unfortunate event will, of course , form the subject of strict inquiry. THE OTONNELLS.—On Tuesday Mr. Maurice O'Connell, the fir s t-b orn o f t h e late Liberator, arrived in his yacht in the Suir. He was accompanied by hi s bre -her "Dan." They promenaded our quays for some time on Tuesday, accompanied by a young gentleman , probably a nephew or relative, and passed along without a cheer or scarcely a reef gnition by any of the serfs whO kissed the dust at the footsto,l, of their father.— Water ford Mail. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —A Liver and Stomach Com plaint of long standing cured by Holloway's Pills.—Sergeant Wilton, late of the Honourable East India Company's service, and for nearly 25 years employed on the Bengal establishment, suffered most intensely from an affection of the liver, indiges tion, and sickness of the stomach, which appeared to be rapidly uneersnining his constitution, notwithstanding the treatment of some of the most eminent of the medical profession. On his return to this country he was advised to try Holloway's Pills, and this superior medicine has effected such a perfect cure that it has astonished all that were aware of his apparently hopeless case. - Sold by all Vendors of Medicine throughout the civi lized world, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
