The Learned Counsel for the defendant said, that he was glad the case had been herd in that Court, and that the expense would only be a little different from what it would have been if judgment had gone by default, and the case had been heard before the Under Sheriff. He was afraid the Learned Gentle man's client would not find such to be the case, and he was desirous that it should not go forth to the public that persons were not doing themselves any injury by proceeding to trial in the superior Courts, when they had no grounds of defence to offer. He thought a Sheriff and a Sheriff's Jury would have done ample enough justice in the present case. The question now was, whether they thought the plaintiff entitled to any damages at all beyond those nominal damages which every person was entitled to in cases of this nature, where there was no justifi cation. The Jury retired to consider the verdict at one o'clock, and at half-past four o'clock returned a verdict for plaintiff—Damages, 40s. KENDILLON V. MA LTBY, ESQ. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who had been a police sergeant, against the defendant, the police Magistrate of the Marlborough-street Police Court, for slander. _ _ Mr. C. CLARK opened the proceedings. Mr. KELLY, in stating the case to the Jury, said, that the plaintiff, who had always borne an irre proachable character, held the situation of sergeant in the police force in the month of June, 1841, and that his beat was in the parish of St. George, Hanover-square. It appeared that at that time, a number of persons of abandoned cha racter resided in Woodstock-street, which was on the plaintiff's beat. The plaintiff had been very active in endeavouring to get these women of aban doned character out of that locality, and at length he had succeeded in clearing the street. On the 21st June, there was a disturbance in Shepherd-street, to which these women had removed from Woodstock street. The plaintiff in quelling the disturbance had been assaulted by a person named Woolridge, - who was charged before Mr. Maltby with the 'assault ; in fact he had given the plaintiff a very severe blow. Same of these abandoned women had been called by Woolridge, and Mr. Maltby had dismissed the complaint. On the 29th of June another disturbance had occurred at the same spot. Two gen tlemen, Sir Thomas Moncrieff and Captain Ormsby, had complained to the plaintiff that one of them had been robbed. The plaintiff made inquiries on the spot, and offered to take any one into custody whom they would charge as having robbed them. One of the gentlemen immediately afterwards found the arti cle of which he stated he had been robbed, and with drew the complaint. The women became very vio lent, and attacked the plaintiff, and Sir Thomas Mon crieff and Captain Ormsby took part with the women, and gave the plaintiff a blow. They were taken into custody-, and on being brought before the defend ant they denied the assault. Now, Captain Ormsby had not been in a state, at the time the transaction had taken place, to know anything about it. In fact, he was drunk—he had been fined by Maltby him self for drunkenness. The case was then adjourned to procure further evidence ; and on the 3d of July, when the case came on for final hearing, evidence having been given corroborating the evidence of the plaintiff, Mr. Maltby fined Captain Ormsby ss. for being drunk, and ss. for assaulting the plaintiff, and dismissed the case against Sir Thomas Moncrieff. At the conclusion of the case Mr. Maltby made use of the language which was the subject of the present action. The words made use of by defendant were, "I feel myself bound to say, with reference to this charge, and also to one before me a few days since, from the same spot, that I do not believe Sergeant Kendillon on his oath ? " This was said in the open Court, in the presence of men belonging to the Me tropolitan Police, and ofnewspaper reporters, who would report the words to the public. He would defy Mr. Maltby to prove the truth of the words he had uttered. The nature of the pleadings was such as to allow of a justification being put upon the record, but the de fendant had not attempted to justify. These words of the Magistrate had been communicated to the Commissioners of Police, who in consequence had dismissed the plaintiff. He had remained for some time out of a situation, but had at length been for tunate enough to obtain employment in the Surrey police. The Learned Counsel then called witnesses to prove the use of the words by defendant, and the dismissal of plaintiff by Mr. Mayne, the Police Commissioner. The case for the plaintiff having closed, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, for defendant, said that as no evidence had been given of malice on the part of Mr. Maltby, as the observations had been uttered by him on the Bench in the execution of his duty as a Magistrate, and as there was no evidence of special damage, for the evidence of Mr. Mayne did not go to that extent, he submitted to the Court that there was no ease to go to the Jury, for the observations had been made by him in his judicial capacity in giving judgment in a case before him, and he was entitled to the protection of the Act of Parliament. Mr. KELLY, in reply, contended that the expres sions themselves were sufficient to show malice from the manner in which they were used. It was neither decorous nor right in a Magistrate, because the per sons brought before him happened to move in the sphere of gentlemen, and denied the truth of the charge, to state that he did not believe a witness on his oath, when at the same time there was nothing whatever to impeach the veracity of the witness. Mr. CLARK followed on the same side. Lord DENMAN said that in his opinion no Judge was entitled to any protection for uttering slander, and if he uttered it either during a case or beside a case, he must be held responsible, but in this case it appeared to him that Mr. Maltby was acting in some measure both as judge and jury, and in the exercise of his discretion as a Magistrate, having to form an opinion of the conduct of the officers under him, it appeared to the Court that Mr. Maltby was bound to state, as his reason for dismissing the case, that he did not believe the officer on his oath, if such was really the case, and he was also bound to make that observa tion in the hearing of the superintendent, in order that information might be conveyed to the Commissioners. Under these circumstances, he thought plaintiff could not maintain his actio n without giving express proof of malice. None such had been given, and therefore there was no case to go to the Jury. Plaintiff nonsuited. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 9. CRII.I. CON.-ALLEN U. 'NICHOLSON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a baker, at lloxton, for criminal conversation, on the part of the defendant, with his wife. The damages were laid at 1,0001. Mr. Platt and Mr. Chambers appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Humphrey and Mr. James for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff carries on his business as a baker, at Agnes-terrace, Horton, an d th e de fendant is a corn-factor, residing at Dockhead. Th e parties were in the habit of transacting business with one another, and some intercourse consequently took place between them. The wife of the plaintiff was very assiduous in the shop of her husband, and the defendant had thus frequent opportunities of seeingher. An intimacy sprung up between them, which ended in criminal intercourse. The plaintiff, who had heard in the neighbourhood reports injurious to the character of his wife, had procured a promise on the part of the defendant that he should not visit her after the husband's suspicions had thus been awakened. The defendant, after having given this promise, was found with the wife of the plaintiff in a situation which left no doubt of their criminality. A witness, a young woman of the name of Horton, stated that she had acted as an assistant at the plain tiff's shop, and he and his wife lived together upon affectionate terms. This witness, however, admitted in cross-examination that Mrs. Allan had complained to her once of ill-treatment, and that her husband had kicked her. A witness'of the name of Carter deposed to having received a promise from the defendant that he should not visit the plaintiff's house. Witness had, however. seen him there afterwards. The foreman of Mr. Allen stated that the plaintiff and his wife had been married for the last twelve or thirteen years, and had three children, of whom the eldest girl was about eight years of age, and the youngest about four or five years old. They had lived happily together until within the last eight or nine months, when the plain tiff thought he had reason to complain of the visits of the defendant. Plaintiff once or t‘ vice remonstrated with his wife upon the subject, when a violent alterca tion took place between them. No further witnesses were called on the part of the plaintiff, as the criminal intercouse between his wife and the defendant was admitted on 'the pleadings. Mr. Humrimmt then addres2ed the Jury in miti gation of damages. The Learned - Gentleman alluded to the fact, that female witnesses ht d not been called who might prove that the plaintiff and his wife had always lived upon amicable terms.. It appeared on the contrary, that there had been disagreement be tween them, and he trusted that the Jury would con sider that very slight damages wipuld compensate the loss sustained by the plaintiff. Lord ABINGER, in addressing the 'Jury said, that, although no female relatives had been called who could prove the terms upon which the plaintiff and his wife lived, other witnesses were produced who de posed that they lived happily t og the last eight or n i ne montl is , when until within when the plaintiff thought he had reason to conyg lain of the visits of the defendant. It was to be expo ;ted that some differen ces would then take place o etween them. The fact of the criminal intercourse having taken place was jot denied by the defendant, -who suffered judgment to go by default. It woulel, th, n-efore, be for the Jury to .decide upon the fair :and emperate damages to which plaintiff was entitled in tile case. The Jury after deliberating- for a few minutes re turned a verdict for the plaint iff- -damages 3001. SECONDARIES' COURT, Dec. 9. BUGPITT V. MARCHAND. This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant for compensation in damages for the seduction of his daughter. The case did not go to the Jury, as the plaintiff suffered a verdict to go against him. Damages 12.01. None of the facts of the case were stated in Court. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 8. THE BANKRUPTCY OF LORD HUNIINOTOWER. At the close of the examination of Mr. Douglas in this case, on the 7th inst., Mr. James proposed to examine Lord Huntingtower as to certain bill trans actions in which he had been mixed up with Captain Byng, as the Noble Lord, in a part of his former examination, had made some statement which the friends of the Captain considered to reflect unjustly upon him. Mr. Nias objected to such an examination, as not being connected with the proceedings under this fiat ; but Mr. James persevered, and said that the evening before he had received a note from Lord Strafford, requesting him to put some questions to his Lordship in respect of his bill transactions with Captain Byng. Lord Huntingtower expressed his ready anxiety to answer any question which might be put to him, and stated that he had had bill transactions with Captain Byng to a very large amount, and when he formerly stated that the Captain had given him no proceeds of certain bills which passed between them, it arose from the circumstance that he (Lord Huntingtower) had been sued upon them, and he thought that the Cap tain would not have parted with them, without re ceiving some consideration. He had, however, been himself sued upon bills by which he received no con sideration, and he doubted not but that Captain Byng might have been treated in a similar manner, and, therefore, that he had not been guilty of the slightest breach of trust in his dealings with him (Lord Huntingtower) Mr. Nias having heard this explanation, expressed himself glad that it had been given, but added that it should not be entered upon these proceedings, and not reported with them. 3iir. James—We must take our chance for that. The further hearing was then adjourned. DECEMBER 9. IN RE JOHN GOODERED-THE PICCADILLY SALOON This day being appointed for the final examination of the bankrupt, who was the proprietor of the above notorious place of resort, the Court was crowded with creditors of the estate, and others anxious to hear the details of the case. The bankrupt having been sworn, was examined at great length concerning his connection with, and the profits arising out of, the play and betting rooms at Doncaster. He stated that he had been connected with them for thirteen years, and the profits, after in cidental expenses, amounted to between 4001. and 5001. a-year. Some years they exceeded 7001. or 8001. but latterly they had fallen off very much. Mr. Commissioner FONIILANQUE—That is but little to be wondered at, after the numerous exposures that have latterly taken place in the Law Courts. Goodered—l have had sometimes as many as thir teen Members of both Houses of Parliament there at the same time.—(Loud laughter.) The bankrupt having answered the usual questions, and rendered his accounts, was declared entitled to pass his examination. IN RE HANWAY V. THE MARYLEBONE BANK. The examination of this bankrupt, who was the principal Manager and Director of the Marylebone Bank, was again resumed this day. The subject of investigation was the general items in the balance sheet, in which there appeared no point of public in terest. At the adjournment the further hearing was fixed for to-morrow morning at 11 o'clock. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Dec. 9. IN RE WILLIAM STURGEON.-LOAN SOCIETIES. The insolvent was principal clerk to the Mendicity Institution. He had become security for a person, since dead, to several Loan Societies, amongst which the principal was the St. Pancras Equitable Joint stock Company. He attributed his insolvency to the fact of having incurred those liabilities and the con sequent law expenses. An affidavit was put in de posing that he derived no pecuniary benefit from the money thus raised. A In reply to the Learned Commissioner, he stated that in consideration of the length of his services the committee of the Mendicity Institution would allow him to retain his situation. The COMMISSIONER said although the insolvent's conduct was inexcusable in incurring those liabilities, yet as he rendered such a clear and straightforward statement, the Mendicity Institution might without violating their duty to the public, retain the insolvent in their employment. lie was then ordered to be discharged. IN RE HENRY JOSEPH TAUSIANT-DILL DISCOUNTING. In this case the insolvent, who appeared to be scarcely more than twenty years of age, applied on his petition to be discharged from bill debts to the amount of 1,3001. It appeared that, after having carried on business for some time, during which he contracted the above liabilities, he was taken into partnership by his father in-law, he being unacquainted with his circumstances. The insolvent then renewed the bills, and his father in-law, upon these facts coming to his knowledge, dis solved the partnership. He stated that all the money he received for accepting these bills was 1351. Mr. Commissioner HARats said he regretted ex tremely that none of the creditors in this case appeared in opposition. If they did the Court would most as suredly inflict the severest punishment allowed by the provisions of the 76th section of the Act, for the dis graceful recklessness with which he accepted those bills. charges of robbing Messrs. Y.:enzies and Bruce, of jewellery amounting in value to 551. • • The Secretary of the Friendly Brothers' Society, held in Seeker-street, Clerkenwell, applied for a war rant against one of their members for embezzlement. The Secretary stated that the funds of the Society, hv.ving been very low, the Committee emw• to it ;1;:- termination to take the Standard Theatre, City-road, for one night, and have a benefit in aid of their funds. The benefit was had, but a member embezzled the proceeds of it, and it was for this embezzlement he sought the warrant. Mr. CoMBE—Was it a musical or a theatrical per formance ? The Secretary replied, a theatrical one. Mr. COMBE—Then the Standard Theatre is not licensed for theatrical representations. You have acted illegally by engaging it for such a purpose, and, as you have done so, the Magistrate cannot assist you. The Secretary—We apply for the warrant under the 25th clause of the 10th of George IV., which imposes a penalty of 201. on any member embezzling any portion of the funds. Our law enables us to raise the funds by extraordinary means, when the usual ones fail. Mr. COMBE-But your rules will not empower you to pick pockets. When they are contrary to law, you cannot expect the law will enforce them, or that your complaints will be recognised. I cannot assist you, and I advise you to be very cautious about your benefits in future. John Blond was charged with stealing ten books, ;the property of Mr. Blanche, bookseller, in Theobald'B-road.—The prisoner was committed. WO R SHIP- STREET. EARLY DE/RAVlTY.—Margaret Herring, a little girl, not quite ten years old, was charged before Mr. Bingham with having stolen several small sums of money from different children. These charges were preferred against the girl by children under nine years of age, whom she had robbed by means of the following stratagem :—They had been severally sent by their parents to make trifl ing purchases in their respective neighbourhoods, and were intercepted on their way by the prisoner, who asked them to show her what money they had, as there was a woman lying in wait to rob and murder them if they had enough of money. The children, who were greatly alarmed, immediately complied with her request ; but they had no sooner exposed their money than the prisoner snatched it out of their hands and took to flight. It was stated that she had com mitted numerous depredations of the kind, and was the terror of the juvenile population of the district. Police constable Redmond apprised the Magistrate that the prisoner was taken into custody a few weeks ago, for stealing half-a-crown from a little girl under similar circumstances, but she was discharged on ac count of her extreme youth and apparent penitence. The prisoner's mother, an old Irishwoman, came forward, and bemoaned the wicked courses of the girl, which she said she had endeavoured to arrest by every means in her power, without success. Mr. BINGHAM observed that it was a most melan choly thing to see a child under ten years of age en gaged in such a systematic career of crime, and pur suing it with a degree of craft and hardihood equal to that exhibited by old and practised thieves. It was evident that she had fallen into bad hands, and, for her own sake, he should commit her for trial, when the Court would probably send her to the Isle of Wight, to allow her a chance of reclamation. The prisoner was committed on the three charges. TILE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 10, 1842. IN RE JOSEPII FLACK. The insolvent held a situation in the Ordnance De partment, at Norwich. He had been a bankrupt in 1829, and in 1839 passed through this Court. He stated that he had leave of absence for three months during the time he was in prison ; and that he would not be allowed again to resume his duties in the Ordnance-office, without passing the Medical Board. At the request of Mr. WOODRUFFE who appeared for the creditors, the Court awarded 151. a-year to be paid from the insolvent's salary, and ordered his dis charge forthwith. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday the Lord Mayor said it gave him sincere pleasure to state that he had received, through the office of the Times newspaper, the following letter containing a contribution of 51. for the Greville-street Free hospital, than which there could not be a more noble or useful institution in the country. It was with particular emphasis he called the attention of the benevolent public to the brief but comprehensive description of the nature and character, of the charity. "MY LORD,—As yourpredecessor wa.'s kind enough to bestow his aid in favour of the Greville-street Hos pital, permit me through you to offer my humble assistance to that excellent institution. " Is it possible to imagine a qualification more con sonant with true Christian charity than that which has been fix e d on b y the Governors of that truly philanthropic establishment ? They require no letters of recommendation, no signature by G testimonials by parochial functionaries, Governors, no fees ors, n admission. The simple qualificatioroto rf r helpless,admission a and that the applicant should be poor, afflicted. lam quite sure these terms, so necessary at this season, onlyrequire to be made known in order to secure the general support and assistance of Lord,the public for this hospital, and I beg to offer my con tribution of 51. in aid of the servant,funds —I am, your humble and obedient R. . state that in To Mr. i t i h o e bi ß e r i Right H gge o d n . t the o b Lorde alallowed n Ay , l e a d o to r .'' the performance of his duties, which were frequently most painful, in consequence of the fl 111_117C of poor, helpless, diseased creatures, without home or friend in the world, he had been put in possession of facts connected with the Greville-street Hospital, calculated to show that the letter his Lordship had just read, did not at all exaggerate the merits of the institution. He knew from the experience to which he alluded, a sort of testimony the sincerity of which admitted of not a shadow of doubt, that at periods of the greatest severity and distress, the destitute stranger, who required medical or surgical aid, was sure to re ceive at that hospital the most skilful and humane at tention. The LORD MAYOR said that the Committee had taken the large premises which formerly belonged to Messrs. Seddon and Co. in Gray's Inn-lane, in which, with the assistance of the public, the services rendered to our less fortunate fellow-creatures would be upon a most extensive scale. his Lordship then expressed a wish that the example which he had thus made public for the purpose of inviting imitation, would be followed by the crowd of excellent persons who were so well known to substitute benefactions for luxuries. Captain Henry Pratt, who had been appointed com mander of the Barbadoes, bound with emigrants for Prince Edward's Island, and who was, a fortnight ago, charged with bigamy, was brought up by Childs the constable for final examination. Childs stated that, according to his Lordship's di rections, he had written to the lady who was said to be the prisoner's second wife, and that she had come from the Cove of Cork for the purpose of giving evi dence against a man who had in so base a manner de serted her. The first wife of the prisoner, a young woman of very respectable appearance, who was married to him on the Ist of December, 1836, and whom, with his child, he abandoned upwards of two years ago, was present during the examination. Mr. Hill attended as solicitor to the prisoner. Maria Jackson (the prisoner's second wife), a very well educated young woman, stated that s h e was 28 years of age, and that she met the prisoner at the 1 Cove of Cork, and was married to him on the 4th of January last, by license, in St. Paul's parish, in the city of Cork, she being a widow, and he, according to his own account, being a bachelor. (She produced a copy of the marriage certificate from the rector.) The prisoner represented himself to her as a lieutenant in the navy.—(Here the prisoner laughed.) The LORD MAyoa—How long did you reside with him ? Witness—We lived together about three weeks. The LORD MAYOR—Which of you maintained the other ? Witness—Oh, he maintained me. I went with him in his schooner from Cork to Dublin the day after our marriage, and when we got to Dublin he told me the schooner was to be sold, and as I thought it might be expensive to him for me to remain in Dublin I left him there to procure a situation, and I returned to Cork. He went off to Liverpool when I went to Cork. The LORD MAYou—Had you any correspondence with him ? Witness—He wrote several letters to me, which I have here. The LORD MAYOR—And by what means did you hear that he was a married man ? Witness—l heard by accident from Captain Nun, of Harwich. I never communicated with him afterwards. It was in March I heard of the circumstance. The last letter I re ceived from him stated that he was still out of em ployment, and that he was going out as chief mate to the East Indies. Mary Ann Osborne, one of the bridesmaids of the prisoner's first wife, deposed that she was present when the prisoner married Fanny Josslyn, in the parish of Dovercourt. in the county of Essex, on the first day of December, 1836. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, prisoner, you told me some time ago that there was no truth in the state ment that you had two wives. What have you to say now ? The prisoner (smiling)—Why I have nothing at all to say, my Lord. The LORD MAYOR—I have good reason to believe that you have more wives, Captain Pratt. The pri soner—More ! No. Two are quite enough for one man. Mr. Hill—l advise you to hold your tongue. Childs—l have reason to think that he has another wife at Liverpool, my Lord. The prisoner —No such thing. The LORD MAyou—Well, I shall commit you for trial. The prisoner (laughing)—Thank your Lordship. BOW-STREET. A young man named Thomas Carter, who ap peared at the bar with a frightful gash in his head, was charged with assaulting a police-officer in the station-house. Wm. Bight, 87 F, stated that he: was on duty last night in the Strand, when he heard a loud noise, and on proceeding to the spot he fo un d th e p r i soner lying on the pavement, with his head cut and bleeding profusely. He conveyed him to the station-house, and a surgeon was sent for to dress his head. The prisoner then became so violent that five officers were taken from their duty to hold him. He turned round and seized wit ness by the arm with his mouth, and bit his arm com pletely through, nearly taking a piece out. He was ultimately conveyed to a separate cell. The prisoner in his defence said that he recol lected nothing that happened. He supposed he was drunk, and fell down, and cut his head. Mr. JARDINE ordered him to be put back, and he would consider in the course of the day what punish ment to inflict. MARYLEBONE. TVm. Wood, a wretched-looking man, whose rags searcely covered his person, was placed at the bar charged with begging at several houses in Cavendish square this morning. When asked where he belonged to he said that he had come up from Burton-upon-Trent in search of work, and had been in London about seven weeks ; he had a little money and a good stock of clothes when he came, but the first was soon expended, and he had parted with the others by piecemeal, and must now beg, steal, or starve. He only required a little as sistance to get back to his own place. Mr. LONG thought his a fit case for the attention of the Mendicity Society, and, giving him one of their relief tickets, said that they would examine into his statements, and, if true, relieve him. He then left, expressing his thanks to the Magis trate for his advice and assistance. Robert Harris, a country farmer, whose "fair round belly" was in striking contrast with the appearance of the last prisoner, was charged with b e i ng h e lpl ess ly drunk in the shrubberies of Cambridge-square yes terday evening. The worthy farmer admitted the truth of the state ment, saying that he had come up to see the cattlQ show, and, meeting there with other agriculturists, had adjourned to a tavern, and after drinking some time, and speaking of the prospects of the country, he had wandered out, and somehow got into the en closed part of the square. He was obliged to the police for the trouble they had taken, and would pay them anything in moderation for the same. He was fined 55., and seemed astonished that he had got off so easily. CLERKENWELL. Henry TVinktvorth Stanton, alias Doctor Stanhope, with a variety of other aliases, was brought up for final examination. The Court was crowded to excess. The prisoner is about 60 years of age. He was enveloped in a brown Taglioni, and had a lady's boa coiled round his neck. When placed in the dock he bowed to the Court, and then turned round and sneered at the spectators who pressed forward to catch a glimpse of him. A con densed epitome of the leading incidents of the latter part of the prisoner's life may not be uninteresting. He is a native of Ireland, and was educated for the medical profession. In 1824 he came to London,r_and was married in the same year to Miss Whilbourne, of Ripley, in Surrey, with wh om h e rece i ve d a f or t une of 8001. He deserted her in 1826, leaving her with one child in a very destitute condition. He went back to Ireland and contrived to introduce himself to a family named Wilkinson, of high re spectability, residing in the vicinity of Dublin. To Miss Wilkinson he paid his addresses, and having represented himself as a surgeon of considerable business and a handsome patrimo nial independence besides, was favourably received. He came to London at the close of the same year, with a letter of introduction from Mr. Wilkinson to a gentleman named Kenyon, residing in Islington. As Mr. Wilkinson stated that the prisoner was about to become his son-in-law, Mr. Kenyon made some in quiries about him, and found that he was a married man and a swindler. He communicated the discovery to the prisoner, who did not return to Dublin. He then took lodgings in Ashley-street, Northampton-square, and ran away in a month without paying anythi ng f or hi s b oar d or apartments. Mr. Kenyon chanced to meet him one day on the Commercial-road North. The prisoner spoke in as independent a manner as if nothing had happened, and took Mr. Kenyon to his lodgings in a coffee-shop then kept by a widow. About a month after he absconded from this place, leaving behind him a large trunk. His land lady at length sent for the broker, had it opened, and found it full of stones. All trace of him from 1826 to 1836 is lost. In the latter year he was committed for trial by the Magistrates at Union hall on six different charges of felony. He was tried on one of them at the Old Bailey, and had sentence of death pronounced against him. Through the inter cession of the Chancellor of the Exchequer his sen tence was commuted to two years' imprisonment. When he came out of the Penitentiary, in 18:58, he went to live with his wife, who was earning a decent livelihood by teaching. After plundering her of every farthing she possessed, even to her wedding ring, he again deserted her. In 1840, he made acquaintance with a respectable family in Vauxhall. He attempted h t hlcim o luui sse m aa realnin'niztntii etetydshc, witharacharacter trh affections ewfaasm o of family, discoveredl. adnadughhebt by decamped ea co gentleman me his pt el ed h r n o w s a t ni , t but ha ea- o with g nt lady'siesl efamily,rke j w e jewellery. . twrobbedo Duringgmolrd. acquaintance a f j t e h w e eI I y u , watches, value 351. Soon after this time, he in troduced himself to a young lady, who resided in Leicester-square. In Greenwich-park he robbed her of 251. and seduced her. He then became ac quainted with Miss Miller, an elderly lady, residing in Kennington, and promised her marriage. He in duced her to pawn the watches for him which he had stolen from Mr. Menzies. At this period be was co habiting alternately with two young women named Grant and Hillman, the former of whom appeared as witness against him, and whom he had seduced. At the close of 1840 he fraudulently obtained two pis tols, value 25 guineas, from Mr. Egg, gunmaker, Pall-mall, and two telescopes from Mr. Elliott, mathe matical instrument. , maker, Holborn. A few months after he took lodgings at Mrs. Lattet's, Prince's square, Kennington ; he feigned illness on a particular Sunday whilst there. Mrs. Lattet requested him to mind the house for her whilst she was at church, but on her return she found he had absconded and robbed her of 201. Whilst at Mrs. Lattet's he robbed a pawn broker at Walworth of a pair of pistols. In the be ginning of the present year he went to lodge at Mr. Bruce's, a jeweller, residing in Wakefield-street, Brunswick-square, and absconded with 201. worth of his property. It should have been stated that, in December, 1840, he went to lodge with a poor washerwoman, in St. Giles's, whom he robbed of 101., all she possessed, and seduced her daughter. This day Charles Hayward Hughes produced the record of a former conviction against the prisoner at the Old Bailey, on which he was transported for life. Witness deposed that he was present at the trial, and identified the prisoner, who was tried under the name of Stanton. Mr. Comm asked the prisoner had lie anything to say why he should not be committed for trial ?—The prisoner put to the witness some questions of an irre levant nature, which Mr. Combe told him he was not obliged to answer. He was then fully committed for trial on the NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. POIETSMOUTH.—The Thunderer, 84, Captain Pring, is ordered to proceed from the Downs to Plymouth, and, according to report, there to be equipped, to re inforce the squadron on the South American station. The Pique, 36, Captain the Hon. M. Stopford, is ready for sea at Spithead, waiting final orders. She is to proceed again to the North American and West India station.

The Lily, 18, Commander Allen, according to letters of the 12th September from the pap . of Good Hope, is expected to be in England by.Chnstmas, to be paid off. The Salamander steam-frigate, Commander A. S.

Lord John Hay, C. 8., returned to-day from Gibraltar, to which place she had conveyed his Excellency-General Sir Robt. Wilson, G.C.8., appointed Governor of that fortress, vice Alex. Woodford. The Rodney, 92, was the only ship of war left in th e B a y a t th e d e parture of the Warspite, the Cambridge, 78, having left for England, and may hourly be expected.

The Wasp, 18, Com mander Drew (distinguished for his gallantry during, the Canadian outbreak), still remains at Spithead, destined for the West Indies.—Brighton Gazette. A thick fog has enveloped Paris for the last three days. It commenced on Saturday about noon, and gradually increased toward the evening, when ob jects could scarcely be recognised at fifteen or twenty paces' distance. It entered the theatres so effectualtyN as to incommode the audience, and the omnibuses on certain lines were obliged to go at a walking pace. On Sunday it cleared up partially towards the middle of the day, but returned in the evening. Yesterday it continued all day, and in creased in the evening, particularly in the Champs- Elysees, where the lamps could be barely seen across the road.—Paris paper. MILDNESS OF THE SEASON.—We have received the following communication from a respectable corres pondent in Holywood :—" Having been informed, by several persons, that swallows were to be seen in the neighbourhood of Holywood, I was disposed to with hold credit from the report, until Friday lost, when I observed on the wing a pair of these birds, so rarely to be seen at this advanced season of the year, feed ing, as in summer, on the small insects, which are plentiful at present. I may also mention, that I heard a thrush singing, in Ballymenoch grounds, on Sunday se'nnight ; and that sparrows are daily seen carrying straws, &c., to their building places." As another proof of the temperature of the season, we may here observe, that on the Ist instant, there was left at our office a bouquet of full-blown primroses, which were gathered on the lands of Wm. Arthur, Esq., of Whiterock, at least 300 feet above the level of the sea.----Belfast Northern Whig. GERMAN RIMG.—As is the general practice on the Continent, they seem to ride rather for parade than pleasure. Their horsemanship is, in fact, the most uncomfortable thing in the world, and makes one's back ache to see it. They sit as erect as posts, and jolt along without springing in the saddle, in a way that must make every joint of their back-bones, as well of as their limbs, undergo the most cruel of martyr doms. They tell you that the English are the worst riders in the world, because in a sharp trot they lean forward and rise in the stirrups. But knowledge of anatomy and the common principles of mechanical philosophy might show them, that to sit perpendi cularly, as they do, converts all the bones in their bodies into pestles to pound each other to pieces , and make s their whole weight come b u mp, bump on their horses' backs, most painfull y an d d e trimentrally to them ; while the Englishman, on the contrary, throwing the pillar of his bones out of the perpendicular, brings his mus cles and tendo ns t o act as springs ; and by that gentle, and, in a good rider, almost imperceptible rising in the stirrups, he accords his motion harmoniously to that of his horse, and b o th go t oge ther at any speed with a delightful smoothness and elasticity, which give a spur to the animal spirits, and make rapid riding one of the most genuine luxuries of life.—Howitt's Rural and Dontestte Life of G ermany . CANTON AND VENlCE.—Captain B. Hall has no ticed a remarkable resemblance in many respects be tween the cities of Canton and Venice. There is an exact similitude between one of the canal bridges in the latter city and one in Canton. The streets in both places are paved, he says, in the same style ; they are of the same w idth ; have the same degree of light ; the shops are just of the same dimensions and forms ; the houses are equal in height. The only difference seems to be in the signs. In China each shop has a large, finely japanned board, six feet long, with gilt letters, hanging, not horizontally, like ours in Europe, but perpendicularly, and left loose to flap about with the wind on one side of the door. Neither in Venice nor in Canton are there any wheeled car riages or horses ; the same method of carrying loads at the end of poles across the shoulders being prac tised in both places, a c ircumstance that tends greatly t o heighten the u nexpec t e d resemblance between two places so remote from each other, and so differently circumstanced.

Although a very limited supply of English Wheat has come to hand this week, either coastwise or by land carriage, we had very heavy inquiry for that article to-day, and Monday's rates were with difficulty maintained. Scarcely any Foreign Wheat has come fresh to hand, yet so inanimate was the sale for it, that prices were next to nominal. Barley hung on hand, and the inferior parcels were somewhat cheaper. In Malt next to nothing was doing ; but some few qualities were sold at an abatement of ls. per quarter. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour, remained unaltered. ARRIVALS. Engliah 3 0 , at Flo 130 8 :ira. I 2,o7o u s r alls Irish - 2 310 Foreign 4,880 SMITHFIELD. In to-day's markets, the number of beasts offering were by no means larger for the time of year, bu by far more than adequate to meet the wants of the buyers ; hence the Beef trade was very dull at barely stationary prices. There were 12 Beasts from Spain, and 50 Scots, by sea, from Scotland, in fair condition, but the general quality of the Bullock supply was inferior. With Sheep we were scantily supplied, yet the demand for them was slow, at unaltered quotations. Calves were by no means numerous, while the inquiry for them was considerably re novated, at an improvement in prices of quite 2d per 81bs. In pigs, a fair amount of business was passing, at full prices. Milch Cows were a mere drug, and produced low figures, say from 16/ to 1915 s each, in cluding their small calf.

FOREIGN.—The demand for these descriptions has rather subsided; there are, however, no parcels press ing upon the market, and as holders remain ex tremely firm, purchases cannot be made at lower prices. • In the absence of public sales, no transac tions have taken place worth reporting.

The Ceylon found buyers at about former rates, viz.—at 63s to 67s 6d for good to fine ord quality. The inquiry fo the lower sorts of East India and Foreign has almos entirely subsided, and in the absence of public sales prices must be considered nomnal. SICOCOA.—The demand for this article continues very limited. Rum.-100 puns Jamaica have been sold at 3s 3d to 3s 6d for 32 to 36 per cent. ovenproof ; and 50 puns good brown Leeward Islands, at the- rate of Is 10d per gallon for proof strength, which are about former prices.

Some parcels of Nitrate of Soda have been, sold: privately at 18s 6d, which is a shade cheaper. 324 bags were offered by auction, which were taken in at 19s, being rather above the value. SPICES.—There has been no demand for Pepper, and of 3,211 bags brought to auction, the whole of the sound was taken in at 3d fbr good earthy Sumatra, being about the former value, but there were no pur chasers, even at a reduction of fully id to id.

To-day the market was in a dull state for West India Muscovadoes Sugar, both grocers and refiners operated with much caution, and the prices accepted were rather lower, snaking the decline for the week is per cwt, ex cepting for the best yellow sorts, which sustained the former currency ; the total sales for the week are 1,350 hhds and trcs.
