The thousands of in dividuals who for upwards of twenty ye ars have used this eelebrate d liquid, pronounce it to be the only article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or trey I , , i. "ad', whiskers, mousta ches, ecc., to a dark brown or black, wit"( ~out trouble (by simply co mbing it through the hair), and pro daces by one application a pleasing and permanent change. whil e thi, other dyes destroy the hair by their pernicious properties, pp liquid promotes its growth, nourishing the roots to the latest , v - god of life. Pe-sons who have been deceived by preparations la h have a horrible stench (dangerous to the head), troublesome s p (heir application, and unsatisfactory in their colour, will find er e-ee l's Chinese Liquid Hair Dye a distinct article, agreeable , in acerT 4,, respect , and that " none but itself can be its paral.el.'

It It A E. gr, p i xstits o l . l : em halfthe married, worad are nay desolatelyco contented, sing le,ted. and Diffidence,the o otter a rise of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em ,tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea Of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un eosaprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, Mt broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form au item In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CTILVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is. each' (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively reined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor he hindered by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but or the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom hey aro offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on he above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price ls. met, by Post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely lamohlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the Deere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob.. servan.:a of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the " sunny side of the way."

This was an action to recover 951. 10s. for work and labour done by the plaintiff, a civil engineer, for the Warwick and Worcester Railway Company, of which the defendant, who is ihe late member for Sheffeld, and the h aaim present ra C n h . Chief Commissioner of the lonian Is l a nds, was Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and another barrister, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Bram well were for the defendant. Several witnesses were called to support the plaintiff's case, and among others, Mr. Cole, a surveyor, who, in the course of his evi dence, stated that he had brought an action against one of the members of the Provisional Committee of the Warwick and Worcester Railway Company, in which action he had recovered 501., of which Mr. Ged4Y, a clerk to Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, who are concerned for the defendant, had received 51. pursuant to agreement. Shortly after this evidence had, been given, Mr. Cole came into. Court and said that he bad been struck by Mr. Geddy, The CHIEF JUSTICE directed that he should be sworn, and asked him what he had to say? Mr. Cole—l was g oi ng ou t o f cour t when the counsel for the defendant was going to speak, and Mr. Geddy was outside, and I said to him the 5/. won't do now, Mr. Geddy, and he then struck me and my hat fell off. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—What do you mean by saying the 5/. won't do? Mr. Cole—When I recovered 50/. he, had 51. out of it. He was clerk to Messrs; Elmslie and Preston, who were concerned Dr the com pany, and witness agreed to give him 201. per cent. if 'he coul4 get the whole of witness's claim allowed. The CHIEF JUSTICE then inquired.of , -Mr: Geddy what he had to say in the matter? Mr. Geddy said that the complainant had committed an offence which he (Mr. Geddy) ought to have taken instant cognizance of, and asked for the protection of his Lordship. He was standing outside the court when Mr. Cole said to him, " I have done for you and the 51." He made answer, and said, " But I shall go into the witness-boa you will find;" when Cole said, " You dare not." He (Mr. Geddy) said, " You recollect pretty well how you were aerved at the County Court when the Judge ordered you out of Court. Mr. Cole instantly said, " You're a liar;" and ran up the steps and endeavoured to make an assault upon him, and kicked at his legs, on which he (Mr. Geddy) endeavoured to defend himself, but instantly recollecting that he would be committing an offence against his Lordship and that Hon. Court, he refrained, arid left bim to pursue his way. Not being satisfied with this, he came back again and braved him, and tried to make him strike him, that he might have something like a case, but he (Mr. Geddy) refrained from doing anything further. There were two or three gentlemen present when this occurred. and he instantly came into court and mentioned the matter to Mr. Bramwell, and wished him to ask for the protec• lion of the Court. Mr. Merrick Burcham, an attorney, who witnessed the affair, was then sworn, by the direction of his Lord ship, and stated that he was standing outside the door of the court when Mr. Cole came out, and said, " Mr. Geddy, I have done for you about the 51. swindle." Geddy said, "I shall get into the box presently." Wit ness did not pay particular attention to what passed, but Mr. Geddy asked Mr. Cole about something that passed in the County Court, when the Judge ordered him out of the court for stating that which was not the fact. Shortly after this Cole came up to Geddy, who struck him, and then Cole Kicked Geddy, and there was an end of it. Three other witnesses were called who ;gave similar testimony, after which The CHIEF JUSTICE asked Mr. Cole if he had any thing to say ? Mr. Cole said, Yes; Mr. Geddy had al wa) s had a ;` bickering" against him. The CHIEF JUSTICE—Never mind that ; we want to know what passed out of Court. Mr. Cole—l think it was done for the purpose of pre venting me giving evidence in the case of Sir John M'Neai v. Ward. The CHIEF JUSTICE—Do you wish to say anything, Mr. Geddy Mr. Geddj—What bad been stated was very untrue. He was taken by surprise, and he thought that Mr. Cole's hat was knocked off in consequence o► his rushing at him. He had called several witnesses, who had given their evidence, and he claimed at his Lordship's hands that justice which his Lordship always gave. The CHIEF JUSTICE said, they had both committed an outrage agi,inst the Court, in gross contempt of the Court, of a character which must tend very much to disturb the administration of justice, and degrade the Court. Witnesses should be told that they were not to make that place a scene for quarrelliag, much less during the time of a trial. Mr. Cole had gone up to Mr. Geddy, and alter reproaching him with what had occurred at a former trial, had called him a liar. Such conduct as that could not be palliated or justified, and no man bad a mot to act in sac. s, tie snould, therefore, fine Mr. Cole 5/. He also regretted to say that Mr. Geddy had likewise committed a contempt of the Court, and therefore be fined him 2L for the blow that he had struck. Mr. Bergeatit BYLES then addressed the jury for the defendant, and called witnesses with the view of chow ing that the plaintiff had not been employed. While the jury were about considering their verdict— Mr. Cole addressed his Lordship, and said that he re grev,ed what had occurred. He had no desire to act i❑ contempt of the Court, and hoped the penalty would not be enforced. The CHIEF JUSTICE said nothing could be more im pr,•per than what had taken place, and it' such conduct were not punished the Court would have every day to determine cases of this kind, lie doubted whether he could lessen the fine. Mr. Cole said he was not prepared to pay the money, The CHIEF JUSTICE was very sorry for it, but the dignity of the Court must be upheld. lie, however, would allow the fine to be estreated, that was, that he (Mr. Cole) would have time to pay. Mr. Geddy asked for the same indulgence. The CHIEF JUSTICE—You have paid your fine. If men could not restrain themselves they must be punished. Mr. Geddy said he had received great provocation, and his Lordship's opinion expressed by the difference in the amount of the tines was that Cole's conduct was the worst. It he was sure that the fine would be enforced against Mr.. Cole he should be satisfied, for he was really the offending party. The CHIEF JUSTICE said he might rest satisfied of that. The tine would be estreated into the Exchequer, and if not paid process would issue for it. , The jury, after a short absence from Court, found a verdict for the plaintiff for - 951. 10. The cause list for the sitting contains 33 remanets and 43 new cases, and the number of special jury cases is 29. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, June 13. (11, , fore Mr. Commissioner FoNBLANQUE.) IN RE J. DE MONTE ARBUTHNOT. The bankrupt:a adjourned application for his certificate was again supported by Mr. Lewis, and opposed by Mr. Steele. After a protracted hearing, in which scarcely a new argument was advanced, The Learned C;ONSIISSIONER gave judgment. He said that this was the most melancholy case that had ever come before that Court. It.was the case of a young man, who on coming into the possession of a nandsome fortune, had more than dishipated it in the course of two years, by gambling and horse-racing, and the most extravagant expenditure. His balance. sheet showed .that his losses by horse-racing alone exceeded 5,0001., and his personal extravagance was of a similar reckless character. It appeared that he had Nile:, into e xceedingly bad hands. On one occasion he had lost with two associates—he would not say accomplices —a s um o f 1 , 0001. in trio days at the game of - billiards. Anything - more dis gusting seldom came before a criminal court, and he wished .it had been before a criminal court ou the present occasion, not so much on account of the bankrupt's part in the transaction, but on account of the part taken by others. His Honour next pro ceeded to state. the, reasons why he considered the case before him came under the statute of the sth and 6th Victoria, against a to gainit grant the gambliilgby traders, and that he had bankrupt his certificate. Wore there no such law in being , he mi g ht seriousl y call in question his sight to grant a certificate to a person who had lost money in the manner the bankrupt bad, as a person w ho was again looking to enter upon trade, or a person into whose hands the money or property of fu turewagering, his view of the operation cre ditors ought to be perilled. With respect to the severe penalty which the law im p osed u p on traders who it was a wholesome remedy, and i n eases w ere the h lois should c ommunity. Althou gh the p o l h o f ei s gn t t h h a t il e h yt y e s it beneficial e t a m u nse t o e fio n .nc w e i i y a a was, wagering, y r at t ohpaottshe c e amount to 201. in one day, or 2604 in one year, 4 , G ame not at all " should be the plan of every trader. His Honour next' referred generally to the statutes 5 and 6 Vic., 6th George IV., and sth and 6th George 11., and distinctly stated, that the last Act on the subject con templated every ease where the chances. of a wager of os 'favourably .although T oThis s pr withe the ma r k t h loss e any kind were incurred, and the loss amounted to the specified sum. In the present case, it was clear the l b a u w r n e , o t n h t a e t m p thelcontemplated ed Act denting.included hmai his bankrupt had lost 2001. within one year, and he fully concurred in the opinion of Mr. Commissioner Goul wdhoidon not, added to eo g vf a e m rth b sa l i lp n op g sli t hwteiotihm themprro. casene improper e Benjamin mrorione might not have been paid. He did , not think that the dis honest part of not paying bt dishonestyeni Court.rup ryelol Greea and Mr. Stebbings, the bankrupt did give to Mr. Greets a bond, upon which he bad obtained judgment. The bankrupt was, he considered, on almost every ground, a person who was not entitled to have his certi flew e, but as he had some doubt upon one or two points, and be could not but take into his consideration, Ist, the extreme youth at which he entered upon his fortune; 2d, the exceedingly bad hands into which he had fallen; and 3d, the frankness and sincerity which he had shown in answering all questions put to him, he would not go so far as to pronounce judgment at that time, and de prive him of his certificate altogether, but would adjourn the further consideration of the case for three years.

CENTRAL CitILVIINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) • Mark Jeffrey, 24 a tall powerful looking man, attired in the convict garb, was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Joseph Robert Allen, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clerk conducted the prosecution on behalf of the Treasury. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor and other witnesses, that the prisoner had been convicted at Cambridge of the offence of burglary, and sentenced to be transported for fifteen years. He was removed on board the warrior hulk, at Woolwich, in January last, and it would seem that he had several times exhibited insubordination. On the 15th of May he was sent into the dockyard to work with a gang of convicts, and they returned to the hulk at twelve o'clock to have dinner, and when the meal was finished the prisoner wished to accompany a different gang to the one he had before been working with, because it appeared he expected that they would be allowed a small quantity of beer. The prosecutor, who was at the time engaged in the capacity of second mate to the, hulk, refused to allow the prisoner to go with this gang, and he was ordered off to continue the same work he had been before engaged in, but shortly afterwards he was brought back in the custody of a sentry, who charged him with refusing to work. Mr. Masterman, the overseer of the hulk; was then sent for, and the prisoner made some complaint of the insuffi ciency of food that was allowed him. He was told that he received the allowance sanctioned by Government, and the same that was given to all the other convicts, and he was ordered to return to his work, being told at the same time that he should be locked up if he refused. Immediately upon this being said, the prisoner, who it appeared, during the time he bad been in the dockyard, had contrived to secrete an instrument called a " tree nail" of a very formidable description, about his person, suddenly drew it from under his coat, and struck Allen a tremendous blow on the back of the head with it, dividing the scalp, and inflicting very serious injury upon him. Tho prisoner, not satisfied with this act of vio lence, attempted to rush upon the overseer of the hulk, and made a blow at him with the same weapon, and the sentry was obliged to charge him with his bayonet before he could be secured. When this had been effected the prisoner expressed a hope that he had killed the prose cutor, and at the same time said that if it had noc been for the sentry he would have cleared the kitchen of the Whole of them. Mr. Dobbs, the surgeon of the_ hulk, was called to speak to the severe character of the injury received by the prosecutor, and he also said that upon;the day in ques. tion the prisioner appeared in robust health, and was quite capable of performing the task assigned to him in the dockyard. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, made a long rambling statement, complaining of the treatment he had received on board the Warrior, and particularly of the quantity of food, which he said was quite in sufficient to keep a man in health, and enable him to work. He said that he had frequently complained to the prosecutor, and also to the overseer, but he could not get any redress, and on the day in question, being very much aggravated at the conduct of the prosecutor, he admitted that he gave him a "crack" on tbr head. The surgeon to the hulk, in answer, to questions put to him by the Court, said that t h. p risoner received the same allowance of fug,/ as tt e other convicts, and he considered it quite sufficient. The men were ~.oust and healthy, and if any increase in generallyas considered by him to be necessary, he the diet had fio/ power to order it. file pcisoner, in an insolent tone, repeated his com plaint of the insufficiency of food, awl added, that the witness was no mure fit to be a doctor than he was to be a king. Mr. Justice PATTESON inquired if the prisoner had re pro....nted that he was in an unfit state to go to work upon the day in question? The Surgeon replied that he did do so, and he ex amined him, and finding that his arms were very mus cular, and that he appeared in good health, he ordered him to go to work. He added, that the convicts conti nually pestered him with trifling complaints, in order that tilt y might not be sent to work. The Learned JUDGE having sumtned.up, The jury found the prisoner Guilty of the whole charge contained in the indictment. His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, told the prisoner that he had been convicted of a very serious offence. He was already under a sentence of transportation for 15 years, and upon some apparently unfounded complaint as to the sufficiency of the food, he had not scrupled to make a most violent assault upon one of the officers in *hose custody . he had been placed. It was absolutely necessary that the discipline of such places as the hulk a should be kept up, and therefore, as an example to other prisoners in a similar position to the prisoner, he felt it his duty to pass a severe sentence, which was,,that he be transported tor life. When the sentence was pronounced, the prisoner ex claimed in a violent manner that justice had not- been done to him. lie said that they might transport him for life, or give him the " bell devil" it they liked; but as they had not given him justice, he should take it himself the first opportunity that offered. James Impey, 22, was indicted for cutting and wound ing James Brackett Atkinson, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. This case is a a similar character to the last. The prosecutor is one of the warders at the Mil,bank Peni tentiary, and the prisoner, at the time of the occurrence, was confined in that establishment, under a sentence of seven years' transportation. It appeared that the pri soner entertained an impression that Atkinson intended to report him for some breach of the regulations'of the prison, and was exasperated against him on that ac count, and upon the latter opening the door of his cell on the morning mentioned in the indictment, the pi soner struck him a vi.lent blow on the bead with a stone, which he had tied up in the corner of his hand kerchief. The jury in this case also found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to be transported for 15 years. William John Ward, 21, was indicted for feloniously having in his possession two pieces of paper, upon which were engraved portions of a promissory note, for the payment of money, with intent to defraud William Lid dell and others. Mr. Huddlestone prosecuted, Mr. Payne defended the prisoner. The prosecutors in this case were Messrs. Liddell and Co., of the Beverley Bank. It appeared that these gen tlemen were in the habit of employing an engraver in Shoe lane, named Lake, to engrave their notes, and it seemed that it was his custom to have any faulty im pressions that might be made brought to him, for the purpose of being destroyed ; but instead •of this course being uniformly adopted, it appeared that a person named Burt, who was in the service of Mr. Lake, took home to his own lodgings one of these faulty impres sions, without the knowledge of his master, and the prisoner, who lodged in the same house, bad, it ap peared, got possession of this impression, and had filled it up, with the intention of putting the note into cir culation. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy, and at the same time expressed an opinion that there had been a great want of care and attention an the pars of the printer and engraver, in suffering documents of such value to be treated so carelessly. Mr. Justice PATTESON remarked that it was quite clear that the witness Burt had no right to take home the faulty impression, and if he had not done so the prisoner would not have been able to obtain possession of it. Mr. HIIDDLESTONE said he was instructed by the pro secutors to jolt' in the recommendation of the jury. He believed the prisoner was respectably connected, and that there had been no imputation upon his character prior to this transaction. Sentence was deferred. John Standen, 35, was i ndicted for sacrilegiously steal ing from the parish ch urc h of Kew an iron chest, a tin box, and other articles, the property of the church wardens and others. Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr. O'Brien defended the prisoner. The robbery in question was committed so far back as the month of February, 1845. The church it appeared was entered by false keys, did a large iron chest, con taining a quantity of marriage and burial registers, and other important documents, but, as it happened, no pro • perty of any intrinsic value, was stolen. This chest also contained a small tin box, and the evidence against the prisoner was, that shortly after the robbery he had given that tin box to a person named Tilby, who represented that he at the same time told him that he had got it from Kew Church. None of the other property had been discovered, and it appeared that Tilby bad not given any statement as to the manner in which he became possessed of the tin box, until after he himself had been in custody for several days, and there was not the slightest corroboration of his testimony. The jury, without hearing Mr. Mr. O'Brien for the prisoner, at once returned COURT. a verdict of Not guilty. PIE W (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) William George Arnold, aged 17, a clerk, was indicted for stealing a half-crown, three shillings, and one four penny-piece, the property of Joseph Rudd. Mr. Robinson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. 330,11autio fin the Mem. [PRICE OD• The details of the case recently appeared under the head of police. The prisoner said he was innocent. The CommoN SERGEANT sentenced him - to six months' imprisonment.:_ Mary Ann Margaret Langham, aged 25, described as married, was convicted of stealing a pair of stays, valued ..tt ten shillings, the property of Mary Ann Bridgeman, a stayrnaker, living, at Woolwich. There was also an other indictment for stealing 20 handkerchiefs from an other shop i❑ the same town. The prisoner, a respectable-looking young country woman, who had an infant in her arms. banded in a written statement, in which she stated that distress had driven her to the act, and that an officer in the army was the father of her child. In answer to the Court, the officer said the prisoner was a known character; she had been apprehended with the property on her. Shortly after _taking it, on her road to the station, she was taken with the pains of la bour, and delivered of the child she then bad in her arms as soon as she got there. She was sentenced to six mouths' imprisonment. Samuel Brown, aged 27, a servant, was indicted for stealing a quantity of plate, valued at 1302, the property of Mary Buchanan Mansfield, his mistress, from her dwelling-house. Mr. Prendergast prosecuted, and Mr. William Cooper defended. Mr. Horatian Mansfield, a student at law, living with his mother at 51, Grosvenor-street, said that the prisoner *as their butler, having been so five months, and on the 17th of May be received notice to leave the house and and give up the plate, upon which he left the house and sent two letters, when it was discovered that the plate had been pawned. • Inspector Gray said that when he apprehended the prisoner, and told him the charge ' he replied, " It is quite right. I have only borrowed it, and mean to re turn it." The pawnbrokers who had taken in the property said that the prisoner used to come to them either on horse back or in a dog cart, with a livery servant . by his side, and upon one occasion,• when redeeming some knives, ~aid he wanted them, as he was about giving a dinner party. Mr. Cooper said, that however wrongly the prisoner had acted, still there was not any evidence that the pri soner at the time of taking the plate did not honestly in tend to redeem it, and if they thought so they must acquit him of a felony; but whatever speculation he might have engaged in must, at a subsequent period, have prevented him carrying out his original intention. The COMMON SERGEANT said he had thought the old theory that counsel put to juries about servants when found out talking of redeeming property, was exploded, but now found otherwise; therefore he must tell the jury that the very moment a servant removed an em ployer's property for the purpose of parting with it, that moment was the larceny complete, otherwise no employer would be safe, for any servant might speculate in rail. way shares, &c., on his master's property, which, if successful, would be returned, and if not, the muster would be told it was intended to be redeemed and then all redress would be gone. The jury found him Guilty. The COMMON SERGEANT said there were two other cases against him. Gray said he had robbed Lady Capel, with whom he had lived, under similar circumstances; but she forgave him. He had obtained his situation with prosecutrix by means of a false character, and there was also a case of forgery against him. He was ordered to be transported for ten years. The COM n MON SERGEANT said no blame attached to the pawnbrokers, and it was therefore hard on them; but they' must give up the property in all the cases, amounting to consid”rably above 1001. lent. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. James Ross was brought before the Lord Mayor upon the charge of embezzling money, the property of Mr. ro.ecution, stated that the Abrahams, of Eastcheap, what.....te grocer. pri soner'his clients employment 15 or 16 r . R o d b I er, been tb r the r months ur- , a a salary of 3/, p per week, and had hcn au thori..ed to receive money for the house as well as to do , general business ; that the prisoner had received the sum of 131. I Is. 6d. from a Mr. Scales for goods sold and delivered, and never accounted for it; and called Mr. Scales as a witness to the fact. Upon his cross-examination by Mr. Pelham, who de fended the prisoner, Mr. Scales said, he had never been given to understand that the prisoner was a partner in the firm, that the invoice was sent by the carman who brought the goods, and that the money was paid, as ap peared from the receipt, to the prisoner, who had nothing to do with the establishment except as a mere clerk. Mr. Pelham said he was instructed that defendant was a partner in the house, and that he supplied brains and knowledge, while Mr. Abrahams was bound to furnish the neee.sary cash to carry on the business. Under these circumstances the defendant was justified in re ceiving the amount without bring obliged to account for its disposal, as would be the duty of an ordinary clerk. The LORD MAYOR—But Mr. Abrahams denies that there was any partnership connexion. Mr. Nobler—Certainly; the statement to that effect is the result of a complete misconstruction. Mr. Abrahams—He never had any share in my busi ness, but was a mere servant. Mr. Hobler called Mr. Scales again, and asked him whether he considered the prisoner to be a partner in the house ? Mr. Scales—No. I never knew anybody as a principal in the house but Mr. Abrahams. Tne prisoner —Did I not sign the warrants? Mr. Nobler—Everyone knows that the Mincing-lane business is constantly done in that way. The LORD MAYOR—Did Mr. Scales send the amount of the invoice to the house or take it himself to the pri soner? Mr. Scales—l paid the prisoner myself. The LORD MAYOR could not suppose, in the teeth of such evidence as had been brought forward, that the prisoner was a partner, and observed that it would be a most mischievous course to presume such a connexion in answer to the charge of defalcation upon the part of a responsible servant. The prisoner, for whose appearance his Lordship re fused to take bail, was then remanded. WORSHIP-STREET. Joeeph Johnson Colvetel, alias Smith, and William Hall Brown, alias Clarke, alias hill, wore placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with having uttered two forged bills of exchange for 221 . Bs. and 211. 75., with in tent to defraud Mr. Henry Dymond, wholesala gutta percha hoot and shoe manufacturer, in Regent -street. City road ; and, also, with having obtained goods under false pretences, from the same prosecutor, to the amount of 1121. tBs. ' Mr. Vann, who attended for the prisoners, said that he should reserve the derence, as he presumed that it was the magistrate's intention to remand thorn, but trusted that he would accept bail for their future ap pearance. ' Mr. ARNOLD, however, refused to accede to the ap plication, and ordered the prisoners to he remanded for a week. L.4IIIBETH. Frederick Collins, Michael Fenton, - and John' Murphy, were again placed at the bar for further examination, on a charge of buralariously breaking into the dwelling house of Mr. Weir, a draper in the London-road, and stealing therefrom property to the amount of nearly 2001. Sergeant Guff, 8 L, who at the recommendation of the magistrate has taken up the case, for the purpose of bringing it to maturity, requested another weeks re mand, and this was ultimately granted. George Hartley Green, a well-dressed young man, who described himself as a merchant's • clerk; was charged with hating been guilty of the most beastly cruelty to a cow. Mr. NORTON observed that during the whole of his experience as a magistrate a more abominable case had not been brought under his cognizance. It was, in fact, of such an unheard-of description that he could not find in the books any enactment to reach the offence, or pu ni>h it as it deserved. He (Mr. Norton) should take it, therefore, as a case of cruelty to the animal, and fine him the highest penalty, which was 405., but this would not protect him from an action at law to the owner of the CAPT. MAREYATT'S NEW NovEL, " VALERIE."— This work is of an entirely different stamp .to any of the gallaut author's previous productions, except that it is told in the same characteristic, forcible, and felicitous style. It purports to be the adventures of a young and lovely girl, related by herself. The illusion of an auto- J biography is admirably sustained, and the heroine's trials and vicissitudes are portrayed with great skill and power. The character of Valerie is beautifully and most truth fully developed, From the moment that we behold her r cast on the world, dependent for subsistence onhe daily exertions, continually encountering fresh iee. difficul ties, and acquiring more and more experience of h her eventful history, we see . her always ashness and heartlessness of mankind,utphotosathmeeclooosheloef, moderation example in misfortune, fortitude under reverses , high minded woman, teaching by heex:lrd iu prosperity. C uommA.—This terrible disorder has broken out with great severity among the workmen employed in the Woodhead tunnel, near Manchester, on the Sheffield line of railway. Many of the men had been indulging in heavy drinking and dissipation for several days, and, on their return to work, probably from want of proper nourishment, and from drinking the water that flows through the soil and rock, they were seized with dysen tery, which soon assumed the severe form of cholera, and, before medical assistance could be procured, several deaths occurred. The best professional aid that could be had in Manchester was procured on Monday; but, up to Tuesday, nine of the cases proved fatal, and further deaths were expected. The appearance of the disease had caused a panic among the rest of the workmen, most of whom, several hundreds in number, bad fled irom the neighbourhood from fear of being involved in the calamity. Colonel Humfrey, secretary of the rail way company, is now on the spot, attending, with medi. cal men, to the various cases—upwards of twenty in number. Woodhead is situated in an upland part of the country ; a abort distance from Glosiop, where the Duke of Norfolk has extensive property. It is, perhaps, from its healthy situation, one of the last places in the kingdom where cholera, or any epidemic, might have I been expected t 9 Appear. THE COAST. PORTSMOUTH, WED; Grappler iron steam-vessel, Commander Lysaght, whose arrival we announced. yesterday, left this afternoon at four o'clock for Woolwich to - be paid off. She lett Lnando on-the Ist of April, and Ascension on the 20th, and brought 80 supernumeraries from that place. She arrived at Sierra Leone on the 29th of April,.finding the Sealark, 8, Com matder Monypenny, and the Pluto steamsvesael, Lieu.. tenant-Commander Joliffe, there. Shortly before there had been an engagement up one of th e r i vers near Sierra Leone with the natives ; the engagement was led by . . Commander Monypermy. - There WS3-some rough skir mishing, in which the Pluto had one officer (Mr. Moor man, mate) and five men wounded. ,The Grappler left Sierra Leone on the 3,1 of May. and arrived at Bathurst (River Gambia) on the .7th. The Governor Macdonald had left, with all his forces, on board, the Dover and Albert steam vessels to settle a " war palaver " up the river with his chiefs, who had some time before attacked and assaulted his — Excellency and his secretary; he was now going to seek satisfaction and make terms. The residents requested that the Grappler might be allowed to remain to pro tect the colonists, but her commander declined, hav ing so great a number of supernumeraries on board. and the smallpox being very prevalent ashore, added to which the occasion did not seem to warrant the hazard of the probable consequences. She accordingly sailed from Bathurst on the Bth, and anchored at Goree on the 9th, where she found the French Commodore and two French corvettes, a brig, and a steam-sloop 1) ie , g; took in coals and left on the 12th; went into Gomora bn the 22d, being short of coal, having, indeed, exhausted her stock and been reduced to the expedient of burning the coal-sacks, spars, and other woods, to keep the fires in and steam up, which was a vital necessity, a large leak having sprung in her bottom, from the fact of the mouth of the hose, which is of copper, having corroded through the iron bottom of the ship; she made a great deal of water, so much as on one, night to have forced up the hatches. She was compelled to send a schooner to Te neriffe for coals, a supply of which arrived from the Consul of that place on the 27th. She got away imme-, .diately, and anchored next morning at Teneriffe, where she replenished again, and left on the 30th; arrived at Madeira on the Ist of June. At Madeira the mercantile residents were suffering great hardships from the long and highly detrimental quarantine regulations, which had but just been taken off; the Grappler replenished eoill again, and left Madeira on the 2d for England. - Commodore Fanshawe,C.B., in the Centaur steam frigate, was at Ascension when the Grappler left, and was about going to the Bights and south coast, to finish the introductory inspection of the station. ' We regret to state that there was every probability of I a very unhealthy season on the coast, from the threaten ing way in which the tornados were coming on. The slave-trade was as brisk as ever. The Telmer steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Selwyn, had taken a large full prize, but she had got ashore upon the mid dle ground at Sierra Leone. The prize was, however, hove off by the Sealark, and the slaves saved. Commander Dunlap, in the Alert, 6, was going to take the command on the south coast as senior officer. Mr. Boulton, Master in command of the Dover steam. vessel, lent to the Colonial Government of the Gambia, invalided at Ascension, and died at sea, on his passage home, in the Grappler. Lieutenant Harward, of the Alert, had been given the command of the Dover. The following officers came home passengers in the Grappler:—The Rev. William Bell, 8.A., late Chaplain of the Tortoise, to join the Superb, 80; Mr. Wickham, Paymaster and Purser, late of the Tortoise, term of ap pointment expired ; Mr. Morgan, Assistant-Surgeon, invalided ; Mr. Legh, mate of the Pluto; Mr. Norman, First Lieutenant of the Alert ; Lieutenant Morris, of the Tortoise, to join the Favourite (paid off); and Mr. Raymond, Second Master, late in command of the Snap tender. The Contest, 12, Commander M'Murdo, will be the next ship home from the coast. The Rattler screw-sloop. Commander Cumming, ar rived at Ascension, from England, on the 6th of April. The Cyclops steam-frigate, Captain the Hon. G. F. Hastings, arrived at Ascension f rom t h e Bi g h ts as th e Grappler was leaving. She had taken two slavers. The Firefly steam-sloop, Commander Tudor, had taken two full slavers since the last accounts. The Grappler took one on her way up to Ascension, making thirteen total as her e ‘ssaton of captures, by which she bad liberated up e-ards of 2,000 slaves. A court-martial assembled this morning on board the Victory (Rear Admiral Prescott, C. 8., President), to try Mr. John Rattray, gunner of the Blenheim steam guardship, acting Captain J. R. Stevens, for having on the Ist instant been found so drunk as to be incapable of performing his duty on board the said ship. The Court having heard the case for the prosecution, and what the prisoner had to allege in defence. f ieo.r.,l .t„, fully proved, but in consequence of his previous good conduct did not dismiss him the service, but adjudged him to be dismissed his present appointment, and reduced from the first to the third class of gunners in the Royal Navy. Wind—S. by W. (very variable), light airs, and cloudy weather. PLYMOUTH, JUNE 12.—Early this morning her Ma jesty's flat-ship Hibernia, 104, Captain Charles Wise, hove in sight to the westward, under all plain canvass. Inside Penlee she clewed up royals, and entered the Sound under her topgallant sails, at 5 o'clock. Inside the Breakwater she saluted the Port Admiral, and took her mooring ground to the eastward of the Camber. She left Malta on the 26th of April, arrived at Gibraltar on -the 17th of May, sailed on the 18th, and experienced light northerly and north-easterly winds during the passage home. Her Majesty's steam-vessel Janus, 2, Lieutenant- Commander It. W. Powell, was at Gibraltar, having on board the daughters of Admiral Parker. Her Majesty's frigate Spartan, 26, Captain Thomas M. C. Symonds, was this morning reported off the har bour, near the Eddystone. The trial steamers Niger, screw, 12, and Basilisk, paddle, 6, returned on Saturday evening, at 8 o'clock. The competition is said to have been in favour of the screw, especially the first day, when she was able to get full power out of her machinery. On the second day, in consequence of defective power, her fires were let out, and some ashes were discovered in the tubes of the boilers. Under canvass only, where the B i sib s k went two miles to windward the Niger went three. While in harbour both ships' boilers are to bo filled with water, the fires lit, and the time taken in eva poration is to be carefully re corded. On the next trial neither machine is to work at a higher pressure than four, that being a point which the Niger's engines can at all times obtain. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Plumper. 8, Commander M.. S. Noloth, sailed on Sunday for the West Indies. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Sphynx, 6, called on Satur day and sailed again on a cruise. The steam-vessel Shearwater, Lieutenant-Commander Edmund E. Tumour, arrived on Sunday from Ireland, and sailed on Monday for Portsmouth. The Cleopatra was paid wages yesterday. THE PACKET-SHIP AMERICAN EAGLE. Yesterday the steam-vessel Contiance towed the store ship Andromeda, 44. from Ilamcaze into the Sound, where she is to receive the stores of the packet, and all the healthy and convalescent passengers and crew of the Am- rican E ogle from her, and from her Majesty's ship Tyne. l'ao deaths have occurred since Thursday last. This day's report from the sue goons, Messrs. Francis Fox and W. Brown, says,—" Diarrbce 4, subsiding; the two severe cases first reported convalescent. The case of the German, reported on the 10th, will most probably prove fatal. The two remaining cases (one that of the man nurse from the shore, attacked yesterday afternoon) in some respects better." The merchant barque Colonist, Captain Headley, from Van Diemen's Land, 9th February, with oil, wool, potatoes, and grain, for London, was off this port, and landed a mail yesterday. The schooner Majestic, Reeves, from Palermo,- for London, was outside this morning; all well. THE ROYAL WILLIAM VICTUALLING YARD. The men in this establishment have recerply been em ployed in packing the sacks which were used for the re lief of the Irish. 200,000 are to go to Deptford, where they will be sold, and 20,000 are to be sent to the gun wnarf at Devonport for the use as forage sacks.
