APPREHENSION OF ANOTHER OF THE BROTHERS HACKETT.—Robert Sackett, a young fellow of 20 years of age, who described himself as a waiter, and who is on • of the notorious family of the Hacketse, was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of being con nected with his brother John, at present under remand, and another person, not in custody, in stealing a bale of valuable property, belonging to the officers of the 31st Regiment, while on its transit to Malta. Police-con stable Lorne, 40 L, deposed that, on the night of Friday, the 17th inst., whilst on duty in Upper Kennington lane, he saw two men remove a bale of goods from the tail of a waggon and put it into a light cart, in which the prisoner was standing. Mr. Elliott—Are you sure the - prisoner is,the person you saw in the cart z Wit resS---Quite "certain, your' worship. I apprehended him this morning in tha Borough-road. Hackett declined saying anything to the charge, and was ordered to be brought up again with the other two prisoners on a future day. SOPTHWARK. ROBBING A SAlLOR.—Thomas Sullivan, an ill-looking fellow, and Joseph aily, were charged this morning be fore Mr. Coombe with robbing a sailor of Ilia watch and 221. in sovereigns. Charles Mason stated thet he was a sailor, connected with vessels trading into Yorkshire. Yesterday after noon he received from the Bank 221. and upwards in sovereigns, and after doing so he went to several public houses and got intoxicated, and found himself at four o'clock this morning in the Yorkshire Grey public-house, in the Borough Market, where he had gone to sleep, and upon his being woke up he discovered that his money, which he had in a cotton bag in the inner pocket of his coat, wa' gone, together with his watch and silver chain. Two railway porters stated that they went into the Yorkshire Grey public-house about half-past three this morning to get refreshment, and they had not been long there before the prisoner Daily came in and called for a half pint of porter. Shortly afterwards, the prosecu • for and the prisoner Sullivan entered together, the pi osecutor being considerably the worse for liquor. Shortly afterwards, the prosecutor laid down on the bench and went to sleep ; and during that time they, both of them, saw the prisoner Sullivan take the watch de liberately out of the prosecutor's.pocket and put it in his own, at, the time observing that the prosecutor was his brother-in-law, and that as he was the worse for liquor he would take care of his property for him. Upon being questioned by the magistrate, Daily said he knew nothing of Sullivan, as he (Daily) had acci dentally entered the public-house in consequence of being locked out of his lodgings. Sullivan said he had been requested by the prosecutor to take charge of his pro perty. Mr. Coombe sentenced Sullivan to two months' in. prisonment, and discharged Daily with a caution. THELATE ATTACK ON THE TCHERNAY A. The Paris Correspondent of the Times in his letter dated yesterday, 6 p.m., says : . " I find that the conduct of General Pelissier, whose despatch of the battle of the Tchernaya appeared in the Moniteur, is not so unanimously approved of by strategists as one would suppose. It is certain that the Russians were completely foiled in the attack on the positions of the Allies, ani with enormous loss ; but it is thought that the French General did not profit as he might have done by the chances in his favour. I was known for two or three days before that the Russian& were to advance in great force ; and on the evening before it took place he was informed by General d'Allonville that he expected to be attacked during the night or early in the morning to a certainty. Under such circum stances it is thought he should have massed his troops in greater force, brought up his reserves, and have made an effort to destroy completely the Russian army, which he could not do with from 6,000 to 7,000 men, who were actually engaged. It is also said that the General•ir,-Chief made his appearance on the ground at a late hour. What truth there is in this I am unable to state, or how far the criticism of persons so distant from the scene of action is weli founded. It is certain, however, that the matter is so judged by some people of no mean authority in such matters." BRITISH AND IRISH - PRODUCE. A return has just. been issued by the Board of Trade of the declared values of British and Irish produce and manufactures exported from the United Kingdom in the year 1854, specifying the amount to each country and colony. From this document the following list has been compiled, showing the order in which the various commu nities of the world rank as our customers. The remarkable fact is still observable, that our own possessions take more than one-third of the whole amount, the aggregate of our colonial shipments having been 33,898,3131., against 33,382,2021. in 1853. This steadiness has been maintained in the face cf a falling off of 2,512,348/. in the total to Australia, the East Indies presenting an increase of 1,840,274/., and British America au in crease of 1,082,3321. The United States figure for a decrease of 2,248,0581., but this is a moderate re action, since in the previous year of unlimited spe culation there had been an augmentation of more than 7,000,0001. The amount to Germany was greater by 419,7461. than in 1853, owing to the overland transit trade to Russia. France likewise shows an increase of 538,9601., which may be partly attributed to materials purchased in this country for the war. To Turkey the increase from similar causes hai been 729,300/. Russia figures for con signments to the value of 54,3011., despatched be fore the declaration of war, against 1,228,4041. in 1853. With regard to other countries, those which exhibit the greatest comparative increaseareßuenos Ayres and Egypt. Holland, Portugal, Chili, Bel gium, Denmark, and Sweden are also on the fa vourable side. Those which show the largest de crease are China; Mexico, - Peru, and New Granada, all of which were in a state of actual or threatened insurrection. Italy, Brazil, Spain, and Cuba pre sent a diminution, but not to so great an extent :- 1.

Johnston presiding, a dividend was declared at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, and the report and accounts were adopted. It was stated that the caution exercised in rnanagemeat, although it may have temporarily checked business, has prevented loss, the desire of the directors having been to avoid any great increase of transactions during the Australian crisis. The latest accounts men tion a general improvement in the prospects of trade, and, under these circumstances, a more extensive range of operations is anticipated. Suggestions that the ac counts should in future be made to distinguish the Lou: don from the colonial expenditure, and the reporteshoutldo he issued previously to each meeting , were promised be taken into consideration.

The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held this afternoon, at the Bridge-house Hotel, London bridge, Mr. James Byng, deputy-chairman presiding. The meeting was also ma-le special to reQolve "if the meeting should so think fit and determine, under the authority of an act paqsed in the present session of Par• liament, that the borrowed monies of the company, or a portion thereof, secured by mortgages or bonds, not ex ceeding two millions sterling, may be coverted into stock of the company of the like amount, either by agreement with the holders of such mortgages or bonds respectively before the same respectively become due, or by paying off the same respectively when due, and issuing stock of a corresponding amount instead of re-borrowing the sum so paid off, and to attach to any stock ■o created a fixed and perpetual redeemable or irredeemable yearly dividend or interest at any rate not exceeding the rate of four pounds for every one hundred pounds thereof, payable in equal half-yearly portions as may also be thought fit and be then determined or authorised." The report and accounts were taken as read. The CHAIRMAN having read a letter received by him from Mr. Rich, resigning the chairmanship of the company, which, he said, accounted for him taking the chair on the occasion, said the accounts for the half•year were encouraging, and if they approved of the amount of dividend ❑awed in the report, the warrants should be issued immediately. Notwithstanding the extra expenses during the half-year for coke, &c., there had been au increase of receipts. The directors contemplate no further extensions or branches—(hear)—and he was of opinion they would best promi.te the interests of the company by giving their best attention to the extension of the traffic on the present constructed lines. He moved the reception and adoption of the report. Mr. TxuLoN seconded the motion. Mr. BARROW drew the attention of the meeting to the manner which railway property had been treated by the Legislature, remarking that the South-Eastern Railway bad been unwarrantably a.sailed and- shamefully treated by the Legislature. If the Legislature gave railways its fostering care instead of opposition, railway property would be improved and the public benefitted by a reduction of fares and rates of carriage. It was impossible for the officers of the company to pay due attention to the in terests of the company free having so continually to appear before the Legislattre, and moved a resolution that this meeting views with the utmost alarm the action of Parliament.on the railwaypruperty of the country, espe cially towards the South•tasteru Railway, the effect of which was to bear u►ijusty and depreciate railway pro perty without a corresponting benefit to the shareholders or the public, and that the directors use all constitu tional means to obtain that, redress for railway property it was entitled to. The CHAIRMAN suugested the report should be ap proved of first, and then the hon. shareholder's resolu tion could be put to the ranting. Mr. HOGES called attention to a remark in the report stating, "That on the whole the working of the line for the last half-year may be regarded as satisfactory." Although he must admit there was an improvement in the working of the line, be dii not think it sufficient to warrant so strong an expression as that contained in the report. Mr. G. SMIrI called attention to the falling off of the traffic on the Greenwich line, amounting to 1,7581. com pared with 1854. He also adverted to the expenses under the head of omnibus. [We will give the conclusion in our next edition.] POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.) MANSION•HOUSE. Frederick Vane Cooper, the man who was remanded from Monday, charged with attempting to obtain 133. 6d. from Mr. Cooper, artist, London-bridge, was again placed at the bar, before the Lord Mayor. The prisoner, it will be recollected, represented himself to Mrs. Cooper as a reporter, arid deor.A..l 13s. 6d. from her to keep nut of the newspapers a charge that he said had been preferred the day before at one of the po lice courts against her husband, the publication of which would much disgrace bim. His conduct on the former examination was so strange that he was remanded, to entble the prison surgeon to examine him as to the state )f his mind. When planed at the bar thi► morning he bahaved in the same incoherent manner ai co the former occasion, and stated he had written t a M.P. ralattve to the charge but bad received no answer. His Lordship said he had received the following cer tificate from the prison surgeon relative to the prisoner's state of mind :- - " I hereoy certify that I rave seen and conversed with Frederick Vane Cooper six times since his admission into the gaol of Newgate, aid it is illy opinion that hs. is of unsound mind. "JOHN ROWLAND GIBSON, " August 30, 1855." Surgeon. The prisoner was again remanded. Several men, women, anC children were fined in small sums, or two days' imprisonment each, for obstructing the public thoroughfares .n the crowded parts of the city, by selling fruit, &c. ROBBERT.—Hannah Fitzpatrick and Mary Murray were charged with steali n g 10/. from a sailor, named James ThompQon. About three weeks since the pri soner were seen changing rioney in Seething-lane, and afterwards toithrow a purse down the area of one of the houses in the lane. The parse had since been recovered.

They were remanded till Saturday for the attendance of the prosecutor. BOW-ETREET. EMBEZIMENT.— A respectably-dressed young man, named George Pamphilon, aged 21, lately in the employ. ment of Mr. Maple, the er,ensive upholsterer and furni. ture dealer, of Tottenham-court-road, was placed at the bar this morning, charged with e mbezzlement. From the evidence of a boy, named Payne, who acted as the cashier, it appeared that the prisoner was lately in the employ of Mr. Maples, in the capacity of porter, at a weekly salary of es., and that on Tuesday last, the 28th, he was entrusted with a parcel, containing a pair of blankets, a bolster, and several other articles, which had just been purchased by a lady named Ander son, residing at 42, Upper Gower-street, for delivery. The goods arrived safe at the residence of Mr. Ander son, and the bill, amounting to 1/. 16s. 4d., was handed over to the prisoner, who gave a receipt for the amount. Instead of proceeding home, as he ought to have done, with the money, he absconded with it, and he had noc been bearl of until he was taken into custody. It was a rule in their e.tablishment that any person receiving /T oney in payment for goods was td immediately hand itover to him as cashier. He was not empowered to R ive the prisoner credit for the amount, neither did he do so. Mr. Hall—Where is Airs , Anderson? It is stated that she p.tid the prisoner the amount with which he afterwards absconded. The detective officer who apprehended the prisoner stated that he had been to her residence this morning, and she declined to OW forward unless compelled to do rape! the lady to attend. I shall SO. Mr. must 05 direct a warrant to issue to that effect, and in the mean• time the prisoner must be remanded till Monday next. ATTACK UPON A PASTRYCOOK'S SllO/I.—A little ragged urchin, whose bead scarcely reached above the bar, was charged with stealing so me tarts, awl other articles, the property of Mr. Bucklan d, a pastr y -cook, residin g at the corner of Wellington.str eet North. A beadle attached to Covent Garden M ar k e t s t a t e d, that last evening, about 6 o'clock, be saw a crowd of little boys of a similar description to the one now at the bar, at the corner of Brydges-street, and from their man ner and conversation he thought Covent Garden Market was the point of attack, and be watched them. The whole body then in a short time started off, and darted into the pastrpoook's shop, and each one seized the first thing that came to hand. He had only time to secure the primer, who upon being taken into custody threw the dainties away. Mr. Buckland stated that he was continually being robbed in the manner described. The boys watched the . shop and immediately it was empty they darted in, and _ made off w ith the first thing they could lay hold of. la answer to gr. 1141, .the boy_said hedidpt know all all all 11,1,4) lli I 73 128 i 57A 7 83 i 3 851 4i i 30 20 1 1 5 St. 25 trp 653 xd QUEEN VICTORIA AT BOULOGNE. The following letter from Boulogne gives some details of Queen Victoria's arrival there, subse quent proceedings, and final departure :-- " Immediately on the train arriving at five 'Mi nutes past five, the Queen stepped from the Royal carriage on to the platform, waited to see the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal step on the platform, when, taking the Emperor's arm she bowed to the authorities, walked through the sale d'atteute to her carriage, into which she was fol lowed by the Princess Royal, the Prince of Wales, And the Marchioness of Ely. &short delay now took place, whilst Prince Albert, the Emperor, and their suites mounted their horses, as also by an acci dent to one of the Cent. Gardes, whose horse fell on the pavement and threw his rider, who, very com placently delayed the party while the dirt was brushed from his garments. This interval was eagerly enjoyed by the ladi es t o sa ti a t e th e i r cu riosity in having a full view of the Queen and the Royal party. Her Majesty, looked remarkably well ; the Emperor and Prince Albert with Mar shal Baraguay Colonel Fleury, &c., rode at the side and after the Qu een ' s carr i age ; the road from the station to the hotel was densely thronged by the populace, rich and poor, the whole way be garnished by troops of the Line and Lancers. The cannon thundered its welcome ; the soldiers, as the numerous carriages passed, closed in and foll Owed the cortege, the crowds in two streams poured after them, and in a few minutes a most animating sight presented itself in upwards of 30,000 troops from Honvault, Wimereux, Am bleteuse and Equihen being drawn up in a long parallelogram on the sands extending from the eastern jetty to the end of the Imperial road where it mounts the cliff. The crowds formed a back ground on the sands and in the road and covered the sides of the high cliffs, lining for a mile the whole of the top. " Her Majesty did not remain long in the hotel, but entering her carriage with the Marchioness of Ely, and escorted by the Emperor, the Prince, and their billiant staff hastened to the sands, passed slowly along the whole line, and honoured with her presence the distribution of Crosses and Medals to several officers and soldiers whom the Emperor decorated. After this interesting ceremony, the carriage removed to a favourable position, the Em peror and Prince Albert a little to the right of the Queen, when the whole of the troops, massed in battalions, marched in quick time passed the Imperial party. This part of the ceremony occupied upwards of an hour, at the conclu sion, the whole cortege drove to the Camp at Flonvault, where her Majesty inspected several nuts, a trial was made of some rockets, and the Imperial party returned to dinner a little before eight. Forty covers were laid for the Imperial and Royal party in the large dining-room, which was brilliantly lighted up. A dinner for 70 was served in another part of the hotel. At night the town was illuminated. At half-past sten the Victoria and Albert entered the harbour. She was at last alongside the quay, and shortly after the Imperial carriages drove down, and the Queen embarked. At this moment the harbour of Boulogne wore more the aspect of the last scene of a pantomime than a real pageant. There were, as the Imperial party reached the quay, nine or ten steamers in the harbour preparing to depart for Folkestone, Dover, London, and to attend upon her Majesty. On the other side of the harbour were the yachts and two Folkestone steamers. The smoke from the steamers and from the cannon, which poured forth their stentorian adieu, hung heavily over the harbour, or lazily and slowly rolled seaward. At the same moment from the Royal yachts, steamers, yachts, and along the western Jetty rose up a bright flame which put an extinguisher on the moon's beams ; the sailors of the Royal yacht, in their bright white vests, burnt an intense whitish blue light, which showed admirably the whole outline of the Royal steamer. From all the other vessels rose green, blue, purple, and I scarlet lights, which, casting their colours on the clouds of smoke, gave them a most enchanting ap pearance, which was received with cheers. Loud cheers rent the air, still the Royal yacht moved not ; every body was surprised ; the imperial and Royal friends were loth to part, ten days' intimacy had wound the chain of friendship and unity toge ther too hard to be severed, they would not part yet, the Emperor resolved to depart with her Ma jesty and enjoy fora couple of hours on the sea the delicious freshness of the night. I was given this reason, though for ourselves we should say it was the last touch of the pencil to the attentions of the week, the last act o French politeness. The yacht left the harbour ; 101 cannon were fired from the heights, the vessels in the offing returned the salute ; and when the clouds of smoke had rolled away, they were discovered to be illuminated, every yard displaying its line of light, and rockets shooting their train of fires from every vessel. The steamer that accompanied the Royal Yacht to bring back the Emperor did not return till two in the morning, till when, many continued to circulate through the town and enjoy the delicious cool air, and the authorities to receive his Majesty remained on the place Danou. Thus terminated the Queen's visit to France, a visit, we trust, to be long re membered with blessings by the inhabitants of both countries." HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO FRANCE. (From the Moniteur of yesterday.) The Queen of England quits our hospitable shores. Her visit will remain as one of the grand est events of this epoch, so abundant in new and memorable facts. Let us salute for a last time this august Princess, the messenger of concord and peace. Let us salute her with her young family, the hope of three kingdoms ; with her royal spouse, who has so well comprehended the genius, the manners, and the arts of France. This is not the first time that crowned heads have visited our country. Peter the First came here to study civilisation, to take advantage of it against civilisation itself ; Joseph 11. exhibited himself as a phililosopherand as a critic, rather than a monarch. The one and the other excited curiosity, but not national sympathies, and the nation remained in different in the presence of these two travellers, who were not guests, The presence of Queen Vic toria, ou the contrary, has excited the French peo ple ; from Boulogne even to the capital, and after , wards from the capital to Boulogne, she has re ceived from 'this olectricised people a veritable triumph. This arises from its not being a mere simple personal gratification which has brought among us this illustrious sovereign. She arrived to close at last seven ages of disastrous rivalries, and to cement upon its basis the alliance of the two greatest nations of the west. France and England, since circumstances have allowed of their studying each other more closely, feel wondrously that they cannot dispense with one another, and that they are nearer neighbours still by the common stock of liberal civilisation than by their coasts. And never theless their sentiments had not overpast till now the bounds of a reciprocal esteem ; they were never intermingled either in the same policy or in the enthusiasm of t warm friendship. reserved It was for the Emperor to operate a more intimate approxi mation. When the chiof of the Napoleon dynasty was placed by the public voice at the head of the country, he found the national hates, which bad preceded him, obstinate conflicts, in which he was not concerned, inveterate passions which were directed against him only because he was the highest personification of the principles of 'B9, then ill comprehended. To-day these immortal prin ciples have triumphed over the opposition of Europe, and liberal England has acknowledged their legitimacy. The heir of the name of Napo leon had then no other reason for preferring another rOle to that of pacificator, more conformable with the greatness of his soul, with the actual in terests of his country, and the ideas of his age ; and, as the Emperor had admirably comprehended that 'thi - diiiiibTe and cordial concert of France and Eng land consitutes the greatest force of modern times placed at the service of the progress of the world, he has held out a friendly hand to the English People and ifs Government. The enthusiasm of England has answered this appeal. She has warmly grasped that loyal hand in hers, , because it was that of France herself, thrice personified in the Empe ror, and her well beloved Queen has crossed th e Channel to bring us the expression of . the confi deuce of a great nation with the seducti.vt:lest accom paniment of goodness, grace, and the Ma jesty. This was a moment awaited .. by Francs e uough show forth her enthusiatm ; for, it is not ; there for the policy of princes to prepare f I :rated by the are none in truth which are not ?that St. Cloud ranee to R o yal hospitality people.

The Journal, do Se. Pttothourg of. Aug. 21 pub lishes the letter addressed by. Admiral Dundas on the 16th of last month to Prince Dolgorouky, the Russian Minister of War, protesting against the retention of the survivors of the crew of the Cos sack ; and also the Russian Minister's reply. The former document has been laid before the Houses of Parliament, but the latter is now for the first time published. It is as follows :-- "PRINCE DOLGOBOTACT TO ,LDICIBLL DIINDAS. " Monsieur l'Amiral,—l had the honour to restive your letter of July 16. The explanations it contains upon the affair of Hango-Udd far from modifying oar opinion, serve to confirm the evidence of the principal fret necessary to be established, for they grant, in effect, that Lieutenant Geneste, of thp royal Navy, laded without waiting f or hi s character - the bearer of a flag of truce to be legally admitted and recognised by our authorities. •ro "This fact is establiehealniCfrianner which renders all further discussion on the point superfluous. I regard it as closed between us, and this especially from the fact that more detailed accounts' of the affair have bees brought to the knowledge of her Britannic Majesty's Government by the Legation of Denmark, whose inter position was sought by the English Cabinet itself. "As to that which concerns Lieut. Geneste personally, permit me to observe that . a more attentive perusal of my communication of July 12 will satisfy you, M. l'Amiral, that it contains no reflection in the least degree injurious to his honour. "The conduct of our officers is judged by the autho rity to which they are suberdinate ; the confidence which we place in their veracity is equal to that which you grant to yours. With this remark I believe it my duty to terminate our correspondence. I once more seize the occasion to offer you, M. l'Amiral, the assurance, &c. (Signed) "PRINCE DOLGOROURT.

NORTH DEVON. The half•yearly meeting of the proprietors of the above company was held yesterday at the London Tavern ; Mr. Tite, M.P., was in the chair. The report states, " That the revenue account shows a balance of 2,9641. Be. 1.d., after payment of the interest on debentures and temporary loans, and that this aunt is applicable to the payment of a dividend.

D. Louden in the chair. The report was adopted, and the meeting was made special for the purpose of considering what was to be done with the surplus land of the company. The CHAIRMAN said that the land (about 115 acres) had been offered to the Eastern Counties Company and to the Tilbury Company, and that both had declined it, neither having the power to raise capital to make docks. A portion of the ground might be sold by public auction, hut the remainder would remain a drug on the hands of the company. Under these circumstances the directors thought the best course would be to apply to Parliament to revive their powers to enable them to construct a dock and the necessary works, The directors now pro posed to make a call of ss. per share to defray the ex penses of obtaining the act of Parliament, and in case of failure they guaranteed to return 2s. per share of the money. They were induced to take this course from a conviction that a dock was urgently required at Thames Haven, mad that if any one was to make it, the Thames Haven Company were the parties to do so. A long and very inharmonious debate ensued, several of the shareholders expressing themselves in favour of selling the land fur anything it would produce, and others urging time to consider the proposition. After one or two amendments had been proposed and withdrawn, it was ultimately arranged that the meeting should be ad journed until next Wednesday, in order to giv e the shareholders further time to consider the proposition.
