STEAM CONVEYANCE TO ITALY. r rHE Fast-sailing English Steam-Packet SAINT WENEFREDE, of LIVERPOOL, JOHN'OLIVE, Com mander, has been established as a regular trader between MAR SEILLES and LEGHORN for the last six months, and sails from MARSEILLES for LEGHORN every SUNDAY Morning, at Seven o'clock, and from thence to MARSEILLES every WED NESDAY Morning at Seven o'clock. The passage bet%een the two ports is generally made in twenty nine hours. This is decidedly the best conveyance between France and Italy, as passengers are only at sea one night, which is not the case with any of the other steamers on that station. The accommodations are excellent, and a Female Steward attends on the Ladies. For Passage apply to RICHARDSON and ➢IECKLENBURG, Marseilles, And HARRISON and RAE, Leghorn.

RAMSBOTTOM'S CORN and BUNNION SOL VENT.—By the use of this valuable remedy immediate re lief from pain is obtained, and, by its successive application for a short period, the most obstinate corns are entirely removed, with out recourse to the dangerous operations of cutting or filing. The proprietor pledges himself that it does not contain caustic or any other article that will inflame the skin ; being white it will not stain the stocking, and the advantage it has over plaster is manifest, and fully appreciated as its very large and increasing sale testifies.

O n t h e sth of June we were lying in Cephalonia, when we felt a very severe shock of an earthquake about four in the afternoon. It was a very fine day, and I happened to be on shore at Lixuri, the opposite side of the harbour to where the ship was lying. Suddenly I heard a loud rumbling noise, and felt the ground trembling under my, feet ; it felt as if it was going to sink in. There was im mediately an immense rush into the street, and in less than a minute I sac at least 3,000 people on their 'knees praying, crossing themselves, and a great many prostrate on the ground kissing the earth. It was with difficulty that I kept on my legs. A great many houses were cracked from top to bottom, and some fell down altogether. The only accident, however, which I heard of was of two girls, about twelve years of age, having their legs broken by the falling in of a wall. Earth quakes are of frequent occurrence in Cephalonia, but it is many years since they have had one so severe in its effects. The damage done is very heavy. Many large and good houses are threatening to tumble down every; day. There was not the least appearance in the sky to indicate what was going on, nor was there any rise or fall of the sea," A SWINDLER.—On Monday last, a man, who had obtained the consent of a driver of a return chaise to rid by his side from Hereford to Ledbury, requested him to stop for a moment at the door of Mrs. Turner, baker, St. Owen's Gate, while he alighted and spoke to her. The driver consented, and the man alighted and entered the shop. He accosted Mrs. Turner, and inquired of her if she did not buy her flour of Mr. Wheeler, of Ruckhall Mill. She said that she did. He then told her that one of Mr. Wheeler's horses had been seriously hurt, and that he had been requested by him to procure a bottle of medicine, and to leave it with Mrs. Turner, who would pay him for it. Mrs. Turner unsuspectingly handed over 6s. 9d. to the gentleman, who delivered to her the bottle of medicine, with strict injunctions "to tell the man to keep the horse tied up, and be sure to give him warm bran mashes." He then re mounted the dickey, and continued his journey to Ledbury. At Ledbury he repaired to a public-house, where, after par taking of the good things the house afforded, he went to bed. On the following morning, the landlord discovered that her guest had decamped, but had forgotten to pay his reckoning. In the course of the day after this gentleman's visit to Mrs. Turner, Mr. Wheeler's waggon was in town with a load of flour (as, by the bye, the man had told her) for her son ; and when she inquired of the waggoner after the horse's health, her suspicions were instantly excited by learning that all the horses were quite well. On a little further examination, she discovered that she had been victimized—the bottle for which she had paid 61. 9d. containing nothing but water !--Here ford Times. • PILGRIMAGE TO TRALEE.—The Kerry Even i ng Post of Saturday contains the following singular statement : " A great body of poor pedestrians, amounting to some hun dreds, arrived in this town on Thursday last, in a body. The natives here were much astonished, and inquiries were imme diately made as to what could have occasioned such an incur sion of our friends from over the hill ; when, lo it appeared that they were pilgrims doing penance for having violated the discipline of Mother Church, inasmuch as they had presumed to hold converse with an unfortunate couple who were excom municated by the priest of Killorglin, for the heinous crime of having been married by a Protestant clergyman, and to ex piate this offence they were ordered to come to obtain clear ances' ortickets ' (as th ey are ca ll ed) from the Rev. Dr. M'Ennery, parish priest t The doctor, perceiving by the number of applicants that it would be troublesome to attend to each individually (although the certificates are laconic enough, very prope r ly di sm i sse d t h em en masse, ordering only ‘ themA u diu two t r' additional, fast d a y s i n th e wee k containing the a kr a limited time. As the order is to abstain from flesh meat,' the penance certainly is not severe.

MANSION-HO USE. Mr. Frederick Marsh was charged by an omnibus con ductor with having refused to pay the whole demand made upon him for travelling from Battle-bridge to the Royal Exchange on Sunday. James Shear, the conductor, told the defendant at Battle bridge that the fare was Is., but the defendant upon reach ing the Royal Exchange refused to pay more than 6d. Every body else handed out Is., and the defendant was of course handed over to a constable. _ _ Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL—And has the gentleman been detained in the watchhouse all night upon such a charge ? Mr. Marsh replied in the negative. The constable was satisfied with his promise to appear. Sir CHAPMAN—And what right had the conductor to demand Is. from Battle-bridge when it is the constant practice to demand no more than 6d. from Paddington, which is much more than twice the distance ? The Conductor—We always charge Is. on Sunday from Battlebridge. I. am obliged to do it, and nobody refused but this gentleman. Mr. Hobler—He is perfectly right in resisting such an imposition. You watch for a shower of rain, and then im mediately charge double fare for going half or a quarter the distance. Several gentlemen here said that they never paid more than 6d. from Battlebridge to the City, and that they never should. Mr. Hobler stated that the Act of Parliament directed that the owners of vehicles of the kind should not charge more than their accustomed fare. A gentleman said that Mr. Shillibeer, to whom the pub lic were so much indebted f o r fi x i ng th e price, never took advantage of 'particular days or weather to increase his charges. The defendant was then discharged. He stated that he should uniformly resist impositions of the kind as a public duty, and be hoped be should not be obliged to ap pear again at the Mansion House on such a charge. Sir CHAPMAN said that if the defendant was sujected to any inconvenience by the conduct of the fellows who at tended omnibuses a remedy was to be found in a court of law against their masters. man, and had driven for Sir V. Gibbs, and had jobbed for nine years with Mr. Jones, of Russell-square. Mr. CHAMBERS said if the prisoner had been employed by Mr. Jones such a length of time, that was a sufficient recommendation, and therefore he should not keep him another day in custody. Mr. CHAMBERS then gave some advice to Mr. Crowley as to the steps he was to take at the Bank of England, and then discharged the prisoner. Inspector Abrahams asked Mr. Chambers whether he thought the police had done their duty in the matter, as he intended to lay the circumstance before the commissioners. Mr. CHAMBERS was of opinion that the police had done their duty.. John Johnson was charged with having committed a va. riety of offences. Mr. Sidney Adcock, jeweller, Dean-street; said the pri soner was an engraver and enameller, and having some knowledge of him, he was induced some tit - iv - ago to lend him 2/. to redeem his tools. Shortly after this the prisoner obtained .5/. worth of jewellery, under pretence of selling some of the articles to a gentleman named Gosling, living at Kilburn. The prisoner informed prosecutor that he had left the jewellery with Mr. Gosling, and that a check would shortly be sent for the amount. Some time afterwards he toll prosecutor that Mr. Gosling had died, but he had re membered him (prosecutor) in his will. A pair of gold lockets was afterwards missed, and ,on questioning the pri soner, who worked at the shop, he, said he had taken them and had left them with. Mr. Jepp, jeweller, of Bond-street, on approbation. After this the prisoner obtained a pair of pearl tops, with ruby centres, to show, as he said, to a lady who wished to purchase such articles. Prosecutor's suspi cions having been aroused,.he made inquiries, and discovered that the prisoner had been deceiving him with a tissue of false - hoods. Having told the prisoner what he had found out, the prisoner admitted having pawned the lockets, and promised to restore the duplicates upon condition of being forgiven and taken again into employ. This proposal pro secutor refused to accede to, and having accidentally dis covered that the prisoner had gone to the shop of Mr. Mills, silversmith, Oxford -street, and obtained a watch in his name, he returned back immediately and gave the pri soner into the custody of a policeman. He (prosecutor) had also discovered that the prisoner had taken a silver spoon from his shop, and pawned it for eighteen pence. The prisoner asked to have the case remanded, in order, as he said, to give him time to make a proper defence. Mr. CHAMBERS-Why not tell us now, and account for your proceedings ? By a " proper defence" I suppose you mean what you'll learn to say from the inmates of the gaol ? The prisoner said he wanted legal assistance ; and he was accordingly remanded for a few days. QUEEN-SQUARiE Yesterday Matthew Hale, the informer, was brought up in custody before Mr. BURRELL, charged with extorting money under the following circumstances Thomas Evans, a drayman in the employ of Messrs. Tru man and Hanbury, stated that the week before last he was driving one of his masters' drays, and was riding on the shafts ; the prisoner saw him and told him that he must settle it. He stood some gin, which he thought sufficient, but that would not do, and the prisoner desired him to call at his house and settle it. Yesterday morning he called at the prisoner's, No. 3, Cottage-place, Bird -street, West square, Lambeth, having previously marked four half crowns. Witness sent out for something to drink, and of fered the prisoner the money, who refused to receive it in his hand, and told him to leave it, and go on. Witness placed it by the window near a geranium plant, and re marked, that some person might put their hand in and steal the money ; they prisoner replied there was no fear of that ; he then went and got a policeman, who took him into cus tody, and he found the half-crowns on his person. On being questioned, he said that he had spoken to the policeman before he went to the prisoner's house. Mr. BURRELL said that he did not think a clear case had been made out under all the circumstances, and discharged the prisoner. The police-constable who apprehended the prisoner said, that he was in the constant habit of getting money in this manner, and wished to know what he should do with the half-crowns found on the prisoner. Mr. BURRELL asked whom the money belonged to. Evans said it was the money which he had marked, and he could swear to it. Mr. BURRELL then directed the money to be given up to W OR SHIP- STREET. A charge of robbery was yesterday brought before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. BROUGHTON, which created con siderable interest. An elderly man, named William Evans, whose connections are highly respectable, was charged with stealing a sovereign under the following circumstances : Mr. Samuel Lane, a respectable publican in Shoreditch, stated that a gentleman called upon him the day before re questing change for a sovereign. Witness asked him to sit down, and went into the back parlour for the silver, but finding he had none he handed the sovereign back to his wife, desiring her to return it to the gentleman. At that moment the prisoner made his appearance at the bar, when, thinking he was the person waiting for the change, she gave it to him, telling him she had not silver, upon which he walked out of the room. Mrs. Lane said she had known the prisoner, who re sided in the Kingsland-road, for the last nine months, and said that when she gave him the sovereign she told him she could not change it. He said, in reply, " Can't you ?" and took it from her. In a few moments after the " real gentleman" came to the counter. She said to him (think ing he wanted something to drink), " Can I do any thing for you, Sir ?" "0, yes," replied the gentleman, " I am waiting for my change for the sovereign." Witness having recovered herself from the sudden surprise of having made the mistake, and the extraordinary conduct of the prisoner, she ran after him, and sueveded in overtaking him. On her accusing him of having taken the sovereign, he replied, to her great astonishment, that he had not been in her house at all. Mr. Lane—l told, him, when I gave him into custody, that if he would give up the sovereign there would be an end of the matter. He, however, repeated, "It was not me." Police Constable 4) N—He told me that he had not been in Mr. Lane's house for the last six months. Mr. BROUGIITON (to the prisoner)—What have you now to say for yourself? Prisoner—Why this has wounded my feelings so much that I have suffered a martyrdom. The fact is I was .drunk at the time. I have no doubt ' you intended to take it. My opinion is that it is a felony.--I hope not. It was put into my hands bona fide as mine, and at a time I was not in com mand of my proper senses. Mr. BROUGHTON—I shall send you for trial, and leave the case to a Jury. Mr. Lane—Really I have no wish to prosecute. If I do it will be the death of his wife. Mr. BROUGHTON—I can't help it. The prisoner was fully committed to Newgate. A FRAUD.--William Wittingham, a youth about sixteen years of age, was charged with obtaining a sovereign under false pretences. Susan Parker, servant to a lady named Dallas, at Tot tenham, said she was well acquainted with the prisoner's mother, who was a poor, but industrious woman, living in Cox's-court, Aldersgate-street. On Friday last the priso ner brought her a letter from her, stating at the same time that she was very ill, and in great distress. Witness having read the letter, the purport of which was to borrow a sove reign, she gave it to him, and also 6d., advising him to be a good boy, and make haste home. On subsequently calling upon his mother, she found she had been defrauded of the money. Sarah Wittingham, the mother, declared she had not written the letter, that she was not ill, nor in distress, and that she had not had the sovereign ; in consequence of which she gave him into custody. The prisoner, in his defence, said he had not victuals enough to eat. The mother (in tears)—That's false, your Worship ; he has the best I can afford, and plenty of it. Unfortunately I have lost all control over him now. He won't even tell me the name of his master he works for, or where he lives. Mr. BROUGHTON (to the prisoner)—This is a sad case, boy, to be prosecuted by your own mother. She has a right to protect herself, or you will soon bring her to ruin. The prisoner was rally committed to. Nenato for trial. ST THAMES POLICE.

BERLIN, AUG. 17.—The departure of his Majesty the King on his journey to East Prussia is fixed for the 23d ; but his Majesty intends to be again in Berlin on the 10th of September. The inhabitants of East Prussia will be highly rejoiced by his Majesty's visit. RIGA, Ave. 12.—The smoke which has for some days covered oar city and neighbourhood is ascribed to great fires in the forests, which, according to the accounts of the country people, are burning about Zarniekau, Allarch, Roop, and Olai. On the news of a fire in the forest not far from our city, the most prompt measures have been ordered to avert the danger from us. One hundred peasants are digging a deep ditch, and military detachments Are stationed in the vicinity of the fire, which we are happy to say is nearly extinguished, The last number of the journal of Courland and. Livonia gives an account of a fire in a peat-moor, caused by the long drought. Thousands of people were employed in digging ditches to arrest its progress, but it frequently h ap pens that the moor behind them begins to burn, the fire rising from the earth having probably spread at a lower depth than the bottom of the ditches. 'The drought has done irreparable damage to the crops of every description in Couiland. Streams that never before were dried up are now w h o 2ly without water, so that very few mills are able to work, and in some parts people must take their corn 30 English miles t' get it ground. There has been no rain of any consequence since th e spring. If any fell, it was and wind soon dried it up. Many soon after, mid the su• p:pughed, the ground being as hard fallow lands cannot be as a rock. We have / similar gloomy accounts from Livonia and Esthonia. For A few days past we bave had some refreshing showers, but In:happily too late for the summer crops. HAMBURG, AUG. 20.—The last of the Spanish refugees (33 officers and 8 servants) left Cuxhaven on the 15th, on board the Anna Maria, Captain Freirs, which they hat. l freighted, having on the same morning received news by the London steam-boat. The ship is bound for Ports mouth, and has provisions for 12 days. ST. PETEasimuult, AUG. 16.—His Highness Prince Lieven, tutor of his Imperial Highness the Crown Prince, has arrived here with his family. The Crown Prince and Princess of Prussia embarked on the 13th, at Peterhoff for Cronstadt, on board the Alexan dra steam-boat, accompanied by their Imperial Majesties, ', on their arrival, went with them on board the Ischora 'at, which was to convey them to Stettin.

It has at length been able to sail. The Council which was to meet on Saturday, and which was expected to decide on the sale of Captain Lindeberg, was put off. Her Majesty has sent 25,000 dollars to Gottenburg, to provide for the most urgent wants, and 6,0001b5. of great 3 for soup, to be divided into 48,000 portions. The cholera has broken out in Wenersburg and Boras, and in some ves sels near Carlsbad and Christian Lauzen, which come from Gottenburg. Private letters say, that .5,000 of the inhabi tants have left Gottenburg. The Board of Trade has de clared London and the places on the banks of the Thames, from London to the mouth of the Thames, to be infested with cholera. The Gottenburg Journal of the 16th, received at Ham burg to-day, the 21st, agree with the public opinion there, that the reports of the cholera having been brought thither by sea are mere idle talk. The ship from Cadiz (which place is quite healthy) which was said to have brought the disorder, did not arrive till three cases of sudden death had. already occurred, and the reports respecting other ship; were also refuted. The Board of Health had communicated to the Governor the declaration of the physicians that the disorder was beginning to change to typhus and nervous fever. But, on the 15th, 140 corpses were buried, and hundreds still remain uninterred for want of graves. It was also re ported that, since the 9th, 30 persons had died of cholera at Jonkoping. The able physician, Dr. Ouchterlony, who was sent from Stockholm to Gottenburg, has been taken ill on the journey, at Mariestad. The number of deaths in Gottenburg and the neighbourhood was 1,255. BORSEN..HALLE, AUG. 22.—About 150 lasts of wheat have been taken out of the warehouses within the last few days, having been bought at seventy-eight rix-dollars for the Portuguese market.

Spreecher, Deputy of the Grisons, proposed that before the end of the year the Diet should de cree the creation of a Federal Council, to replace the Vororts, as the Executive, during the recess of the Diet. " The country (said he) is full of inflammable materials at this moment, and consequently those to be entrusted with the Government ought to inspire the greatest confidence and security. Unfortunately the state of Berne, which will be Vorort next year, does not inspire this confidence. The circular of May 21, relative to the Poles, the attitude assumed by it towards the diplomatic agents of the great Powers here, nre proofs of ita spirit, and sufficiently bespeak the necessity of placing the supreme Go vernment of the country in other hands. Besides (said the Deputy), the system of Vororts is a bad one; they are irre sponsible ; elected by the Canton for its own government ; it must neglect the general or the Cantonnal Government, most probably the former. The appointment of a Federal Council would remedy this evil, and would restore confidence to the Constitutional Governments, who are alarmed at the prospect of being led by Berne." The Deputy for Berne replied, that it would not be difficult to refute the attack made upon his Canton. But that Berne really made it too little a point to preserve the Vorortship, to allow him to descend to serious refutation. He considered the superior direction of Federal affairs to be a charge and a duty rather than as an advantage at present. As to the atti tude assumed by Berne towards foreign diplomatists, it was that worthy of a free and independent nation. Viewing the question in a general light, the Member for Berne objected to the proposal, as he could recognise only one efficient mode of reforming the Pact of 1815 ; this was to change it altogether, and call primary assemblies together to elect a Convention, or Constituante. Cas. Pfyffer, Deputy of Lucerne, opposed the proposal of the Grisons, which was supported only by the Cantons of Schaffhausen, Argovic, and Vaud, and even by them only in hostility to the system of Vororts; not in mistrust of Berne. The retrograde Cantons oppose the proposition, because they wish to preserve unaltered the Pact of 1315. The Deputy of the Grisons, finding himself abandoned, made a second proposition, to the effect that the powers of the Vorort should be precisely stated and limited by the Diet, and that the three Canton-Vororts should control the Direc tory; not the Great Council. Fifteen States and a half vote that this proposition be referred, ad instruendunt, for the fol lowing year. AUG. 16.—The Committee charged with the revision of the Federal Pact, has terminated its sittings ; it only held three, and could come to no decision. Five Cantons refuse to take part in any plan of representation, that has not population for its base. So that in the first sitting, Zurich, St. Gall, Argo vie, Lucerne, and Thurgovie, found themselves in direct op position with Glacis, Zug, Schaffhausen, Friburg, the:G . 6- sons, Soleure, Vaud, and Geneva. There were few hopes of a commission, in which the five great Cantons were on one side, with the eight little ones paralyzing them on the other, whilst Berne I:fuses to take any part at all in the attempt. Berne has named Professors the three chief Radicals in Switzerland, M. Troxler to a philosophical chair; Messrs. Snell and Siebenpfeiffer to chairs of law. HELVETIC DIET.-20Th SITTING—Ara. 18. The Chancellor read a petition from a number of Swiss, chiefly from Vaud and Neufchatel, resident in Paris, demand.. ing, Ist, the recall of M. Grelet ( Swiss envoy at Brussels,) for a long time absent from his post ; 2dly, that of M. D'Effinguer (envoy at Vienna), whose opinions are notably at variance with the present liberal Government; idly, that of M. Mar cacci ( Swiss consul general at Milan.) In support of this peti tion, the Deputy for Berne rose to demand, in the name of his canton, the recall of M. d'Effinguer, and of M. Tscham (envoy at Paris.) These men, said he, belonging to the ancient aris tocracy, that has been overthrown, represent no longer the in terests of Switzerland, but of a fallen party. Berne has found ample proofs in the archives of the ancient se cret council, how deeply the Swiss diplomatists were impli cated in foreign intrigues and manoeuvres. What Switzerland wants is new, upright men, attached to the present system, and able to defend it. M. Pfyffer, of Lucerne, added, that after a revolution diplomatic agents must necessarily be changed, if the Government which succeeds that revolution bo sincere. The other deputies opposed the proposition, as not based on facts proving incapacity or unworthiness. The seve ral envoys are therefore renominated to their posts. Consuls are also appointed by the diet, at Rio, Buenos Ayres, and Brussels. 21ST SITTING, AVG. 19. This sitting was entirely devoted to commercial concerns and duties in the interior. A concordat, proposed in the hope of recovering the right of transit through qermany, could not obtain a majority. Berne opposed it. The next sitting will be devoted to thu same subject. A fine young man, about twenty-five years of age, 1 , ame unknown, was killed yesterday morning in Oxford-street, i n cn attemptlo step a horse and cab th at was running away , A, l, out six o'clock on Satur da y afternoon a fi ne little boy; son of Mr. William Johnson, Whitmore-road, a n . ton, in atteOPting to clamber into one of his father's waggon, driven into the yard, unfortunately fell out, and was taken up, crushed almost flat.

On examining the injury, Mr. Town was of opinion that the wheel of the waggon ) front the directiog w hich it took across the poor child's body, must have awed the heart to burst. , • .., = MAR YLEB ONE. EXTENSIVE SYSTEM OF SWlNDLlN G. —Yesterday, Geo. Hewett, alias Cobbett, the young man who, on Friday last, the 15th inst., was brought before Mr. SHUTT, and com mitted after a lengthened examination on charges of having swindled several first-rate upholsterers and cabinet makers of a considerable number of rosewood tables and other ex pensive articles of furniture to a large amount, which he had obtained of them in the name of William Lytton Bul wer, Esq. (brother to the Member), of No. 55, Upper Seymour-street, the particulars of which have already ap peared, was again brought up and placed at the bar on ano ther charge of a similar nature. Mrs. Anne Viser in November last was left in charge of a furnished house belonging to a lady named Booth, situ ated No. 6, Hereford-street. The agent for Mrs. Booth was Mr. John Thompson, an auctioneer and house agent, residing at No. 49, lark -street, and the prisoner was in his employ. Some time in the above named month the pri soner called upon her, and representing that he was sent by Mr. Thompson to remove various articles .from the house, she permitted him to go in whatever room he pleased and he packed up a variety of chairs and sofa-covers, toge ther with counterpanes, quilts, curtains, &c., with which he went away. She, soon after, discovered that the prisoner had carried off the property, without any orders from his master. Mr. Thompson had given the prisoner no authority to bring away any article of furniture whatever. Three pawnbrokers here produced the articles in ques tion, which had been pledged by the prisoner immediately after he had obtained them. Mrs. Viser having identified them, the prisoner was fully committed on three distinct charges. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday Joseph Beachunz, an elderly man, the driver of a hackney cabriolet, was brought before Mr. CHAMBERS on the following charge : Mr. Henry Crowley stated that some time ago he re ceived the amount of a check for 1901. from his mother, and having disposed of a portion of that sum, he left 1001. in five 20/. bank-notes in her hands, while he went out of town for a short period. He returned to town on Sunday, and in the afternoon he went to pay his mother and sister a visit, at their. residence, No. 33, Percy-street, Tottenham court-road. While there he drank the greater part of a bottle of wine, and this, joined to the fatigue of his journey, so far overcam e hi m th at h e b ecame ra th er intoxi ca t e d. H e asked his moth er t o l e t hi m h ave hi s mone y, an d a f ter some short time hi s s i s t er b roug h t h i m t h e fi ve 201. notes, which he folded togeth er , an d p l aced i n hi s poc k e t. Hi s sister then sent for a cabriolet, a n d w h en it ca me she a n d th e ser vant gave particular ch arge to the driver (the priso ner ) to take him home, and see hi m sa f e to hi s lodgings, at N o . 56, Poland-street. The driver set him down at the corner of Poland-street, and immediately on getting out of the cab he missed his money. He directly called out he had been robbed, and . two policemen of the C division came up to him, and he told them he had lost 100/., and that he was certain the cab-driver must have taken it. The policemen, however, in the most unaccountable manner, neglected to take the charge, but contented themselves with obtaining the driver's number, and then they conveyed him (com plainant) to his lodgings. He went to sleep for a few hours, and then got up and communicated his loss and the conduct of the police to the inspector at the station-house. Mr. CHAMBERS-4A, Sir, if you were as you say in liquor, how is it your friends could be so incautious as to let you have your money? Mr. Crowley—l must here accuse myself, for if I hap pen to get in that state I am rather violent, and was to prevent any disturbance that the money was given to me. Mrs. Crowley, the mother of the last witness, corrobo rated the statement of her son, and added, that seeing be had taken too freely of wine, she left him with his sister, who could manage him best under such circumstan ces. When her daughter informed her that she had sent her brother home in a cab, she (witness) exclaimed, that she hoped he would not lose his money. At 5 o'clock in the morning her son knocked her up, to tell her he had been robbed of the 100/. Policeman C, 33, said he was accidentally passing at the time when the prisoner set down the complainant in Po land -street. On hearing Mr. Crowley charge the cab driver with having robbed him of 1001., he went up, in company with another C division policeman station on that beat, and then he discovered that Mr. Crawley was very much intoxicated. Mr. Crowley at first accused witness of having robbed him, and afterwards he said it was the cab driver. The sum Mr. Crowley said be had lost was 100/. Thinking that the charge might have occurred in conse quence of the intoxicated state of Mr. Crowley, the num ber of the cab was only taken, as the cab-driver did not offer to drive away. _ Mr. Crowley—but I made a distinct charge against the man. I own I was very much overcome with what I had drank ; but I was not so far gone as not to retain a recol lection of my situation. The landlord of a public-house at the corner of Poland street said, in consequence of hearing some one call out that he had been robbed of 1001., he went out, and there saw Mr. Crowley and the prisoner and two policemen. It was then just half-past 10 o'clock, and witness observed, that though Mr. Crowley was certainly the worse for liquor, he knew what he was doing, for he was able to correct an error respecting the number of the cab. Miss Crowley said she gave the money to her brother, and he, on finding the notes right, foisted them to g ether and put them in his pocket, remarking that he must take care he did not get robbed. She sen t for a cab to convey him to his lodgings, and when the vehicle arrived the servant girl, in her presence, gave the cab-driver Is. to take her brother to his lodgings, No. 56, Poland-street. The cab driver received a particular charge to see him safe there. When her brother left her mother's house it had just gone 10 o'clock. Mr. CHAMBERS—That is a strong feature in the case. The defendant was about half an hour going the distance of 10 minutes' drive. The prisoner replied, that Mr. Crowley was very obsti nate when in his cab, and would insist upon being driven up one street and down another. Mr. Crowley remarked that he had no recollection of having so acted ; but even if he had, it was singular that the driver should have paid attention to him, knowing that he was intoxicated, and that particular directions had been given to him where to drive to. It was also extraordinary the driver did not set him down at No. 56, Poland-street, where he had been instructed to go, in place of setting down at the corner of the street. Mr. CHAMBERS asked the prisoner to give some of himself. account The prisoner said he had not long been , w . in th e ca b line ; but at present he drove for a per son n - as who ..med B rown his son-in-law. Hs had formorli ()eon a gentleman's coach- PRICE 7D. great recklessness was frequently exhibited by the opposition steamers which started from the- London Bridge wharf. They not only proceeded through the pool with great velo city, but when passengers disembarked on the river they ser the wheels in motion before the boats got clear, and left them to their fate. It was under somewhat similar circum stances that valuable member of society, the son of Dr. Olinthus Gregory, was drowned. Mr. Evans, principal Surveyor of Thames Police, was of opinion the people on board the steamer were to blame. They held on with the boat-staff after the vessel was set agoing, the water dashed over it and sunk it, and the boat staff was ultimately thrown overboard and picked up by the officers. Hart—They held on for some time after the paddles were in motion, and the boat could not go clear.

UNION-HALL. Samuel Clarke, a man suspected of being extensively en gaged in horsestealing, was brought befote Mr. Traill for examination. Furlong, the officer, produced the• Hue and Cry, which gave an account of several horses having been stolen from various counties, and stated thatin the course of a few days he should be prepared with evidence to prove that the prisoner was concerned in several robberies of this descrip tion: Mr. Samuel Clarke, of Abridge, in Essex, stated that a horse belonging to him was stolen from one of his fields on the night of th 28th of June. Since the robbery he traced the stolen horse to the possession 4f a Mr. Murr4 3 , , in the London-road, who had purchased the animal of the prisoner. The prisoner did not deny the latter statement ; but, in his defence, said that he had bought the horse of a man he did not know at the time. The Magistrate said that the defence set up by the prisoner was similar to that generally made by persons chargedwith that kind of offence. The ()nicer requested that the prisoner might be re manded until Wednesday, and, if publicity was given to this examination, he had no doubt several persons who had had their horses stolen would be in attendance. The Magistrate should commit the prisoner on the above charge, but at the same time he should be brought up again on VVednesday. In the course of the day an application was made for a distress warrant to be issued against the goods and chattels of the proprietors of the Victoria Theatre for non-payment of the lighting rate under the New Improvement Act.

George Sutton served a summons for the proprietors of the above establishment to attend at the Vestry Hall before Mr. Cancellor, the Magistrate, on the 9th of July, and no person did attend in obedience to the order.
