He was quite satisfied the prisoner had committed a most savage and dastardly outrage on his sister, and the surgeon's certificate stated that the wounds were inflicted with a sharp instrument. His only doubt was whether he ought not to commit the prisoner for trial. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned, and kept to hard labour for six calendar months. This bankrupt was described as of Orchard-street, merchant, and to-day was appointed for his last examina tion. The balance-sheet, prepared by Mr. J. D.

Charles Johnson, a Thames police officer, deposed that this (Wednesday) morning, about 8 o'clock, he was on duty on the river off Horselydown. He saw the pri soner and other men leave the Kielmansegge steamer, which had arrived from Hamburg. He suspected them, and on nearing the small boat witness saw the prisoner stoop down, and place something under the stern boards in front of him. Witness rowed up to the boat, and on searching the bottom part of the vessel ho found a bag of cloves. Witness subsequently made inquiry on board the steam-vessel, and ascertained that last even ing there were 10 largo bags of the same description of spice safely stowed away on board the Kielman segge, and that one of them had been broken open and a large quantity of the cloves had been removed. The prisoner bad been engaged on the vessel as a labourer in carrying goods ashore. Captain Horsemann said be had no doubt that the cloves bad been extracted from the bag. The prisoner, in answer, said he was not the man who had stolen the spice. The prisoner was committed to prison for one month, with bard labour. POSTAL AND PASSENGERS COMMUNICATION WITH THE NORTH OP IRELAND. We desire to draw attention to the following Treasury minute. The subject is important, and we shall have something to say about it hereafter : " Copy of Treasury Minute of Aug. 15, 1856. " My lords have under their consideration several memorials, signed by persons interested in the commu nication between the north of Ireland and Scotland, and praying that their lordships will take measures to de termine the ports best adapted for the establishment of a short sea passage between the two countries, with a view to promote the quickest postal and pas senger communication. One of these memoriols prays for a public loan to the County Down Railway Com pany, in order to enable them to complete their line to Donaghadee. Fully recoguising the great advantages which would be derived by the extensive manufacturing districts in the north of Ireland, in the west of Scotland, and in the north of England, by establishing a communi cation between the two ports which should reduce the sea passage to the shortest possible time, and in connexion with a system of railroads on both sides, which, to a certain extent, already exists, and the completion of which, my lords understand, is in contemplation, by which a direct communication will be opened between all the above impertant districts, my lords referred the subject to the Admiralty for their Lordships' opinion upon the nautical question raised in the memorial. Their lordships have now before them the reply of the Admiralty, in which the Lords Commissioners report that the most favourable ports for the establishment of a short sea passage are those of Portpatrick land Donaghadee, and they suggest that instructions should be given to them to institute an inquiry as to the best and cheapest manner in which these ports may be made suitable for the purpose. These instructions my lords have al ready issued. Before any expense, however, is incurred, it becomes necessary that my lords should clearly state their views upon the subject, for the information of all the parties who have appeared before them, either by memorial or personal application, and others who take an interest in it. It has been represented to my lords that—in the event of the Government deciding upon the best ports for the pa sage referred to, and especially in the case of Portpatrick and Donaghadee being adopted, and provided the Government was willing to use it as a mail communication—iu the first place a steamboat service, suited both for passengers and mails, would be established by a private company, without any aid from the government, except a fair price for carrying the mails ; and, in the second place, that the rail., aye, on each side of the channel, would be cernpleted, so as to connect Donaghadee, on the one side, with Belfast and the main line, and Portpatrick, on the o! her side, with Glasgow to the south, arid Niith laismfries to the east, by which all the important''' . parts in view would be fully attained. All this, it has been understood, will be performed by private enterprise, if only the government, on its part, will g elst, Determine the ports most t citable for the service: 2. Adopt it as a mail passage. 3. Make such improvements in,the ports as shall best fit them for the purpose. These conditions my h rds are prepared to adopt. They have already, upon the advice of the Ad miralty, decided that the best ports will he Portpatrick and Donaghadee, and have instructed the Lords Com missioners to report upon the improvements and altera• tions required, to render them suitable for the service ; and, when a et am service shall Le established, suitable for carrying the mails, they will he prepared to use it for that purpose, upon fair and reasonable teress. But, before my lords proceed aetually to incur any ex pense upon the ports named, for their improvement, in pursuance of any report that might be made by the Ad miralty, it will be quite necessary that they should be well satisfied that all the arrangements herein referred to, and which would be necessary to give public utility to the scheme, will be completed. With regard to the memorials for aid in completing the railways by a public loan, there is no fund disposable for such a purpose, except that annually voted by Parliament for public works, and administered under the Board of Commis sioners appointed for the purpose. It will, therefore, be necessary for those requiring such a loan to apply to the Public Commissioners, with whom rests the responsibility of judging of the security to be accepted in such cases, and who alone can determine how far the other demands on the fund at their disposal will enable them to entertain the request." LETTERS FOR THE COLONY OF NATAL. The following official notice has been issued : Letters for Natal, when not addressed to be sent by some vessel proceeding direct to that colony, will in future be forwarded by way of the Cape of Good Hope, and will be subject in this cauLtry to the same charge as letters addressed to the Cape of Good Hope, which charge must be paid in advance. For their conveyance from the Cape to Natal they will be liable to an extra charge on delivery ; but letters forwarded from England, by direct ship, will be subject to the ordinary charge of ship letters, and no more. Upon these letters the ship letter rate of 3d. per half ounce must be paid in advance. RETURN OF THE QUEEN AND ROYAL FAMILY TO LONDOiV.

Scarcely any English wheat was on sale in to-day's mar ket ; nevertheless, the demand for all kinds ruled less active than on Monday. In the few transactions re ported no change took place in value. We were well, but not to say heavily, supplied with foreign wheat. Importers were very firm, but the amount of business doing was very moderato, at Monday's cur rency. Floating cargoes were hold at the late advance. The arrivals are but moderate. Barley sold to a fair extent at extreme quotations, and malt was rather firmer. We bad a good consumptive demand for oats at full prices. Bems, peas, and flour were steady, but not dearer. ARRIVALS TB'S WISIIIL Wheat. I Barley. I Malt.

This bankrupt was described as of York-buildings, Adelphi, commission agent, and to-day was appointed for his last examination. Mr. Linklater !Applied for an adjournment, on the ground that the bankrupt had not been able to prepare hie balance•sheet. Mr. Chidley consented on the part of the assignees.

POST-OF/WE ROBBERY. —James Brown was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a letter containing money, the property of tier Majesty's Postmaster-General. Mr. Sculthope, one &.f the comptrollers of the Port office, stated that the prisoner war a letter-carrier in the London district department, and was engaged at Bays water. It was his duty to collect the letters received in that neighbourhood. In consequence of the numerous .robberies of letters in the Bayswater district, he was directed by the Postmaster-Gener a l to test the honesty of servants employed there, and on the 26th of this month he made up a letter and addressed it to " Mrs. White, Jedburgh, near the Chapel of Ease, Scotland," and enclosed therein half a sovereign, a six pence, and six penny postage stamps, all of which he had previously marked. The letter was fastened with adhesive gum, and was given to Bingham, with instruc tions to post it at Mr. Giles's receiving house, Bays' water. If the letter had been posted according to his direction, it would have arrived at the General Post office at about six o'clock in the evening, with the rest of the Bayswater letters. The letter bag arrived in due course, but it did not contain the made-up letter. He then proceeded to the sorting office, at Bayswater, in company with Cole and Bingham, the officer, and met the prisoner as he was leaving the office. He asked him his name, and he said it was Brown ; and in answer to a question he said he collected the Bayswater office at five o'clock. He then told him there was a money letter missing, and he (Brown) must be searched. Smee, the officer, did so, and handed a purse to Cole, in which the marked sixpence was found. On the sixpence being identified the prisoner said the money was his, and he had taken it in change. He said he had not seen the missing balf•sovereign. He was then given into custody. The sixpence produced by Since was the same one as he enclosed in the letter. Henry Bingham, police cot/stable attached to the Post office, stated that he posted the letter given to him by Mr. Scultherp, and directed to Mr. Giles, Bays water, at about five minutes past 4 yesterday afternoon, in the same state as he had received it. Mr. Rowe, the son-in-law of Mr. Giles, who avvisted in the sorting of the letters, stated that he saw a letter directed as described by Mr. Sculthorp. It was stamped and put with the other letters, and the prisoner called and tied them up, and, at a few minutes after five, he left the office with'the letter in question. Cole, the officer, said the prisoner admitted having the half sovereign, and said that he had changed it at the Prince Albert public-house, in the Portobello-road, for half a quartern of gin. The officer went to the house and there found the money. The prisoner, who declined saying anything, was fully committed for trial. THE LATE AITRAY IN BARLEY-COI:MT.—It will be re collected that at the termination of the hearing of this charge before Mr. Henry yesterday, the two women, TeMple and Sweeny, were ordered to be conveyed to the hosplal, in order that the injuries they had received might receive proper attention. This morning the inspector having charge of the case attended before Mr. Henry, and stated that the surgeon of the hospital had given him a certificate stating that Temple bad received Such severe injury that it would be impossible for her to attend to-day. He had brought Sweeny, whom the surgeon thought had recovered sufficiently to leave the institution. On the old woman entering the office she appeared still to be suffering very much. Mr. Henry said, as the other woman was not able to attend, the further hearing of the case must be post poned until a future day. M ARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTENSIVE FRAUD. --Henry Bray, a waiter out of a situation, was brought before Mr. Beadon, for re- examina tion, charged with having obtained from Mr. Peter Plant, hosier, No. 4, Waterloo-place, several pairs of silk hose, and other articles, of the value of 291. 145., by false and fraudulent representations. William John Salmon said he was assistant to the prosecutor. On last Saturday week, about two o'clock in the afternoon, the prisoner came into his shop, and said his master, Mr. Greaves, a customer of theirs, who was staying at Farr.tnce's Hotel, wanted some silk hose and linen shirts. Believing the prisoner's statement, witness let him have six pairs of silk hose and four linen shirts. On the following Monday prisoner came again and requested him to send Mr. Greaves eight more shirts, twelve pairs of white silk hose, twelve pairs of speckled hose, and a dozen pocket handker chiefs. Witness made out the invoice, amounting to 2W. 145., for the whole of the goods, which he handed to the prisoner, who left the shop. Witness's suspicions were subsequently excited, and he went to Farrance's Hotel and saw Mr. Greaves, who denied having sent for the goods, or all knowledge of the prisoner. On the following Tuesday the prisoner favoured him with an other call, and requested to have the cambric handker chiefs for silk ones. Witness detained him while he sent for a police constable, upon whose arrival prisoner was given into custody. The prisoner, who admitted the olaarge, pleaded poverty as the cause of his being placed in his present position. Committed for trial. THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT.--John Prendergast, an Irish man about 40 years of age, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with assaulting and wounding Mary Welch, his sister, who appeared to have been brutally beaten about the head and face. She had also received a wound of some extent on the nose, herlips were cut, and she had lost three of her teeth from the brutal violence of her brother. The complainant said that her brother came to her dwelling No. 7, Stepney Causeway, yesterday morning, and after pushing the door in asked if the murderer wag there, and called her a murdering b w and other bad names. She begged of him to go away and let her be at peace, on which he attacked her with great fury, and then beat her about the head, face, and body with his flit, and also dislodged three of her teeth from her mouth. He also struck her with a sharp instrument and wounded her on the nose, and when she fell he kicked her. She had been under medical treatment all night, and was very weak from loss of blood. In answer to Mr. Selfe, the complainant said her brother wanted her to make a false representation to a loan society, to enable him to borrow a loan, which she refused to do, and that was the cause of his hostility towards her. He made a disturbance at her d welling five weeks ago, and he then beat her. She was Lreised all over her body. She had kept her bro ther three months w hen he left Ireland, and had been a good sigter to him. This was the way he requited her kindness. Michael Carey cot firmed the evidence of Mrs. Welsh, and said that he was knocked down by the prisoner when he went to bar protection. The prisoner put in a long written statement, and told a long and inoob erent story, the substance of which was that his sister had murdered his wife three months ago by frightening :her, turning her blood into water, 20,i 1.00 100 100 WO 20 20 20 33! 100 50 100 100 100 20 50 100 v.ll all all all 12 50 all all 1 12/ i 13 104 1 4 121 49. i 331 2 G3i 1 Sportiag RADCLIFFE RACES.—Aug. 25.

Yesterday afternoon a special meeting of the directors of the poor of St. Pancras was held in the board-room of the vestry-hall, for the purpose of considering what steps should be taken in resistance to the Poor-law Board, in their attempt to assume control over the affairs' of the parish of St. Pancras. Mr. Churchwarden Streeten occupied the chair, and the letter received on the previous week having been read, announcing the determination of the Poor-law Board to issue rules, orders, and regulations for the management of St. Pancras Workhouse. The CHAIRMAN also announced, amidst great astonish ment and excitement, that the Poor-law Board had that day issued their orders under their official seal, to the master, the matron, the chaplain, the overseer, and all other officers connected with the poor department. They had also forwarded these orders and regulations to the directors and vestry, with the following communi cation : " Poor-law Board, Whitehall, August 25, 1856. " ST. PANCRAS PARIS H - ADMINISTRATION OF RELIEF. " Sir,—l am directed by the Poor-law Board to acknow ledge the receipt of your letter of the 19th instant, and to inform you that, in accordance with their intention, al ready communicated to you, they have issued the follow ing orders, namely— " An order fixing the maximum accommodation of the workhouse of the parish of St. Pancras and of its several wards respectively ; an older respecting the management of the workhouse, and prescribing the duties of its officers; an order prescribing the rules for the administration of out relief in the parish : and an order directing the vestry of the parish to appoint an auditor to audit their accounts. The board herewith transmit to you six copies of the first mentioned order, two copies of the last-mentioned order, and 20 copies of each of the two other orders.—J am, sir, your obedient, servant, " R. W. GREY, Secretary." Mr. TURNER then moved the resolutions, to the effect that "the directors of the poor of St. Pancras had never acknowledged, and still denied, the right and legal au thority of the Poor•law Baard to issue orders or instruo- tions to the directors, and that they will continue to manage the poor irrespective of the orders of the Poor law Board." Mr. Turner proceeded to contend that the local act of St. Pancras precluded the right of the Poor law Board to interfere with that parish. Mr. STOCKTON seconded the motion, and asked whe ther Sir B. Hall's Local Management Act of last ses sion, a hich was to extend local self-government with a awn or not ? If the Poor-law Board were permitted to have. this power, that board would be reduced to a erfect s et of nonei.tities. Mr. Churchwarden WYATT moved an amendment to appoint a committee to consider the jurisdiction the Poor-law Board had, if any, over the affairs of that parish, with power to take the advice of counsel. H e was as determined to oppose the entrance of the Poor•law Board as any man there, but thought this the wiser course. Mr. Oils seconded the amendment. Mr. Turner's motion was carried by a majority of 17 to 4. The officers were ordered to take no notice of the orders, which were referred to a special meeting of the vestry. -.~..~ rbtrD Utlittort (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) MAGNA. CHARTA. STAKES.

The noble science of the herald and the marshal is somewhat out of vogue in England. Rules of precedence which were strictly obeyed even in the last generation have now fallen into desuetude ; people are apt to take what arms they like, and there is no officer empowered by the Heralds' Col- lege to deface their Plate or their carriage panels. Even Royal christenings and civic processions are unable to restore a taste which has passed away ; but if the numerous English wile have flocked to Moscow for the coronation of his Majesty Alex ander IL do not bring - back an enthusiasm for pomps and pageants it will not be the fault of the Russian ceremonialists. Nothing that Rheims or Westminster has ever been able to boast can equal in grandeur, richness, and tediousness what is pre paring for the sightseers at Moscow on the present occasion. It will require no mean powers of gene ralship to organise the multitudinous processions, to ,get the hundreds of officials into the Cathedral and out cf it again, and even, it would seem, to feed and lodge, with due attention to each, so many personages of such strictly graduated im portance. As for the saluting, it appears as if no small part of the Imperial: artillery will be re quisite for the incessant cannonading.- • The begin ing of the proceedings will be the "solemn entry 7 of his Majesty into the city. • "At the signal of nine-guns, -fired from a battery oppositelhlCOU- . vent of Tchoudow, the bells of the Cathedral of the Assumption indicate to the cb urehes of Mos: cow the moment to ring their " When all the persons have occupied the pla.ces assigned tr.., them"—a process which, without rehearsal, will be somewhat difficult—the procession sets out. We need not say that the whole order of this impres sive cavalcade is given in the " ceremonial con firmed by his Majesty," and that we can give no idea of it to ourselves. Gendarmes on foot and gendarmes on horseback, Cossacks from the Black Sea, the representatives of the high nobility, of the Asiatic tribes, foot valets and chamber valets, " negroes of the Court in grand livery," the Grand. Master of the Ceremonies, Chamberlains, and Gen tlemen of the Chamber, precede Ow Emperor and the Princes and the Princesses of the blood. On his Majesty's arrival he is greeted by a salvo of 71. - guns, the usual receptions take place, and the usual loyal speechez are uttered. The proclamation which announces the day of coronation needs no notice, but chapter 3 of the " ceremonial" ordains the decoration of the Cathe dral with a minuteness worthy of study. The canopy, the thrones, and their respective ornaments, are described in the m os t el eva t e d l anguage of the upholsterer. The coronation itself bewilders the intellect by the multitude and elaborateness of its ceremonies. Where and when his Majesty is to sit, where the heir-apparent is to be placed, how the ladies of honour and the maids of honour are to follow, are duly registered. " The canopy is carried by eight functionaries of the fourth class ; the cords are hold by eight functionaries of the third class." And so the whole proceeding is re gulated, no doubt, in strict conformity with pre cedent and the manners of the empire. It is so long since suoh a ceremony has taken place in Western Europe, and its elaborate pomp is so op posed to the tastes of our own country and age, that we can hardly pretend to judge it with fair ness. To the English, French, or American visitor it will, no doubt, be unmeaning and tedious. The long preparation for acts which are accomplished. in a few minutes, the jaded look of troops kept under arms for a whole day together, the tired ladies of the Court wishing all the ceremonies at an end, the tawdry display of diamonds and feathers by broad daylight, the crushing, the disputes, the disappointments, will beenough to move the looker on to weariness. As is usually the case at such sight-seeings, the chorus when it is over will be, "Is this all ?" "Is this what we have come 2,000 miles to see ?" Yet the coronation of a Russian Czar must not be regarded in the same light as the investiture of a Western Sovereign. The words "by the Grace of God," which in England are construed by mo dern notions into a mere pious phrase, have, in a country like Russia, their original meaning. That authority of the Sovereign is supposed to be directly derived from on High ; he receives his commission from Heaven, through the Church, and is answer able to no human tribunal for the exercise of his , over. The coronation and its accompanying con secration are the rites by which the appointment to govern the Muscovite world is legitimately con ferred. Until the Emperor is covered with the actual material crown and anointed with the holy oil he exercises merely a provisional jurisdiction. He is the designated but not the installed Vice gerent of Heaven. Hence the officers of State, the chief prelates of the Church, the ambassadors of foreign Powers, are assembled to witness a cere mony which has to the empire a practical reality. Muscovite custom requires that each corporation, each profession, each province, each regiment of the army, should be represented on the great day. If the assembled functionaries were only such per sonages as the masters, the grand masters, and the arch-masters of the ceremonies, the whole would lose much of its significance. But each tribe of Asiatics has its representative among thespectators of the rite. The chiefs of the peasants of the State domains, one for each government, are there ; the ancients of the guilds of traders, the foreign mer chants, the magistrates, the section of the Council of Manufactures, the officials of the Custom-house, take a part in the ceremony. The Board of Mines, the Chamber of Finance, the Commissariat, the University, the Post-office, the Department of Theatres, with a number of other bodies, equally share in the great solemnity. Thus the coronation of a Czar is tho occasion of gathering together every element which goes to make up the great whole of the Russian system. For nearly six months have the preparations for the event continued, and the r esult,whatever may he it s effect to our eyes, is no doubt a matter of pride to the patriotic Russian. The people whom Ale xan d er rules are still in that stage of civilisation when sym bolical ceremonies have their full meaning and influ. ence. The firing of salvos, the ringing of bells, the blessing by priests, w tilhlein a fewproces weekssions,t be matterhefirewor f k o s, and from the e ath feastingmong myriads of untaught men inquiry frontiers of Germ any t o the shores of f e r a o g the Pacific. Each community and corporation, each colony or nomad tribe, will be proud of the part which its representative has played at the great solemnity of the whole empire. The enthronement and consecration of the Imperial person will have been witnessed by individuals of every race and region within a sixth of the earth's surface. In this fact lies the reality which gives a meaning to otherwise tedious and foolish ceremonies. It may be that many of our country men will return impressed with the vanity of national solemnities, and disposed to compare the representations they have witnessed at Moscow with the histrionic achievements of the theatre and the circus ; but amid such sarcasms they dcr well to remember that the show was not intended. for them, but for thousands who will believe in iG and remember it with veneration to their latest day. The age of pomp may have passed away among ourselves, but the Russian is still young enough to admire what we have learned to contemn. Times, __ ~__ • ~_ . ... 1 .... 2 mama - '1
