Naval and Military Intelligence. Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, K.C.8., Com mander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, paid a visit yesterday to the French Commodore Barbet, on board the corvette La Faune, at Spithead, where he was received with all honours, and saluted, with his flag at the fore. Sir George also visited the Austrian frigate Radetzky, where similar honours were paid him. Her Majesty's ship Melville, 72, in ordinary at Ports mouth, is ordered to be commissioned, to take the place of the Minden (hospital ship) at Hong Kong. Her Majesty's ship Royal George, Captain Robinson, landed by gun-boats and tender the 82d and other troops yesterday evening at Gosport and Portsmouth, and they p r oceeded to quarters. I:(er Majesty's steam-frigate Dragon, 6, Captain Stew art, C. 8., went out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning and anchored at Spithead. The depot of the Medical Staff Corps, now stationed at Chatham barracks, under the command of Staff-Cap tain S. G. Banbury, numbers nearly 300 men of all ranks, and an order has been issned directing them to hold thinnselves in readiness to move to St. Mary's Case mate Barracks. Yeste.nclay Crimean invalids, to the number of 104 min of all ranks, belonging to various regiments, were medically inspected at Fort Pitt Hospital by Dr. J. R. Taylor, preparatory to their going before a Chelsea board of ohicers to receive their discharge. The finding of the court-martial which was held at Chatham barracks on Tuesday last for the trial of Pri vate William Dowell, 32d Regiment, on a charge of baying wilfully blown off his right hand at Chatham with the view of being discharged from the service, has been made known to the troops at Chatham, having re ce.;ved the approval of his Royal Highness the Com maader-in•Chiof. The prisoner is sentenced to 168 days' imprisonment,, bat he is not to be discharged from the service. The Limerick papers announce the death of Staff. 'Surgeon Augustus Henry Cowan, who had been attached as chief medical officer to tha Depot Battalion in Lime rick since its formation. Dr. Cowan had seen much ser vice with the British army in the East Indies and in China. He was formerly attached to the 48th Regiment .o.nd also to the 7th Fusileers. He received his commis. *ion as surgeon of the second-class July 2, 1841. Dr. Cowan wan on Tuenday last proceeding to the military hospital in the New Barracks, the approach to which is t present intersected by a ditch about thr ee f ee t d ee p, ig which waterpipes with plugs are being laid for the pre tection of the barracks from fire. While attempting tart oss this cutting he fell in, and received severe in• j ury , with a severe shock to the nervous system. H e wa s remai , ed to his residence, where was assiduously at tendeti by Drs. Hanlon and Gore, but expired at 4 o'clock ,on Friday morning. The ill...thod invented and introduced by Mr. Wether hed, later member of the United States' Congress, for . steam, having been submitted to various superheati . vg processes dur ing the last six months in the dockyard at Wooly' lob, b, sa at length assumed a practical form. During the ehaties of experiments to which the system was subjected it appears that various improvements sug gested themsel va a from time to time to the engineer de partment there. .In this manner it was considered ad visable to prolong the trials, and thereby, if possible, render the system (so mplete. Prior to the late voyage of the Dee to the Western coast of England the machinery was fitted up with the appurtonaaices necessary for the final test of the system with its stipulated improvements. The apparatus was at work the whole voyage, which was specially extended as far as Land's-end point and back to Woolwich, at the increAsed speed of from 7 to 9 knots an hour, the result of whic,'i exceeded anticipation. It is understood that the average economy realised in fuel amounts to about 35 per cent.. The apparatus con sists of a number of iron pipes being carried along the front of the tube plate, and extending into the chimney, into which the ordinary steam passes, and which gradu ally becomes superheated to about 500 deg. It is then alloyed, or mixed with the ordinary steam, in about equal proportions, bringing the temperature cf the mixed steam to about 340 deg., in which state it is ap plied to the purposes of the machinery. The system of simply superheating without mixing the steam bas been known for some time past in France, and has been at tempted on many occasions, but without success, which is attributed in a great degree to the imperfection of the French machinery, which is less complete than our ewn. In the first course of orperimente a difficulty existed— namely, the burning and consumption of the wadding. After many fruitless attempts, this difficulty was at length got over, thus rendering the method perfe ct. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander W. Mould, to the Majes tic; H. L. Gully, naval cadet, to the Highflyer ; B. N. Murphy, assistant-surgeon, cocfirmecl, to the James Watt ; W. P. Scott, assistant paymaster in charge, to the Scorpion ; W. H. Gribbeil, clerk, to the Highflyer ; H. E. Roy, acting clerk, to the Colossus. A LETTER FROM TILE MORMON COUNTRY. A. letter has been received this week (lays the Kcndal Mercury) from John Strong, whom many of our readers well know, and who for a long number of years carried on the business of a blacksmith in Allhallows-'ane, Ken dal. The letter is dated " Grovow City, Utah Territory, May 25, 1856," and the writer says : " On leaving New York we sailed, by steam-packet, for about 100 miles; then we took the railway to Phila delphia, and thence to Pittsburg by rail, a distance of nearly 600 miles. We then took a river which led ui into the great Mississippi, which took us up to St. Louis, where we stayed fur about a week. We then took the same boat and landed at a small place called Hutchin son, close by the river ; we stopped there two days, and then we started with oxen and wag4ons to Mormon Grove, a, distance of five miles, where we pitched our tents and lived in kbem until we bad made everything ready for a fair start across the plains, which [exceeded 1,290 miles. We remained there six weeks, and left the Grove on August 4tb, and landed in Salt Lake Val ley on the 25th of October. I must inform you that we had a pleasant journey consideri►,g the road we bad to travel. " I have bought two lots of land in this city, and my son John has bought two lots joining mine, and we are going to build this summer, if all be well. We have got our crops in. "The land here is good, and of a sandy nature ; the rain is not so frequent here as in England ; but when the land gets dry, we are obliged to water it from the streams that flow from the snowy mountains. We have plenty of water streams here, abounding with fish ; we can get trout from 10 to 12 lb. we'ght. This is a beau tiful valley, surrounded with snowy mountains and a large lake on the west side, which renders it very healthy, and the air is so clear that you can see the dis tance of 30 miles ; you can see the cattle grazing on the range for six or seven miles. There are a few tribes of Red Indians in these mountains, snd they sometimes come to visit us. They are very peaceable, and our people treat them kindly. "We are all well; John is living with us; Mary is here and is married to Thomas, the third son of Roger Ferrer; Agnes and William are with us ; Hannah is living in the city. in a good place ; Joseph is shepherd. ing every day ; Eleanor, Elizabeth, Ann, and Miles are all doing well, and we have all enjoyed good health since we left England. " Dear Brother John,—l have often thought about you, as well as many others, and the advice I gave to you when we parted. T now wish to inform you that my faith is as strong in Mormonism as ever it was. I still know it to be the work of the Lord, and besides it there is none else. I would wish you, and all who desire to be saved, to look out for yourselves. This is my testimony to you, and the desire I have for you, that you may embrace the same, and that we may have the privilege of being brothers and sisters, through time and through eternity. This is my desire for you. "My wife likes the country well. Gist) our love to Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Abbatt, of the Black Swan, to the people at Endmoor, &c. . . . I must now conclude by praying the Lord to b!ess you all. "JOHN STRONG." SLAVEHOLDING INTOLERANCE. The Hochwathter, a German Republican paper, pub. balled at Cincinnati, has transferred its Presidential ticket from the first to the third page. The reason for this change the editor, in a recent number, explains as follows : " We have been obliged to take the ticket of Fremont and Dayton from our first page, in consequence of the annoyance and persecutions which it brought on our subscribers in the southern states. Seine of them have been threatened with mob visitation, tar and f ea th ers, lee., unless they would discontinue taking that abolition sheet.' Such is freedom of the press, as understood by the nigger-democracy ! Such is the respect entertained by the south for the right of conscience. The inhabitant of a slave state who does not own negroes is himself tyrannised over like a slave, and dare not even read a newspaper that has not passed the censorship of his masters, the traffickers in human flesh and blood. Is this to serve as an example of what awaitsui‘swhenever slavery shall be extended over the free West? ir. r.Bucha nan is a worthy candidate of the party that refuses to recognise the freedom of the press. He, too, bas never respected this fundamental principle of liberty. When, some years since, a motion was made in the Senate to pro hibit the mails from circulating incendiary newspapers and other publications in the South, Mr.Ruchanan's vote was recorded in favour of this attempt to muzzle the press. This was more than the great fire-eater Calhoun hims elf could swall ow , an d be voted in this case against his c)nfa derates. But Mr. Buchanan was at all times ready to out strip southern politicians in servility and submission to the behest of the slo.ve-drivers, and thus voted for a mea sure from which even Calhoun recoiled. Whoever, there fore, is opposed to freedom of the press, will veto for Jas. Buchanan." [ADvrwrisrmENT.]—Bou„ v's Ointm en t an d Pill s g Certain Remedies for Sore L e 3 a'. l i lr.

Before his execution at York, on Saturday, William Dove made a long and most extraordinary confession to his solicitor, Mr. J. M. Barret, which that gentleman reduced to writing, but objected to furnish it to the re porters until after the execution. This confession is as follows ; but it may be useful to explain that the man Harrison spoken of is a fortune-teller, of Leeds, who has for a long period exercised a most pernicious influ ence over the mind of Dove : " I wish to repeat that the statement which I have previously made to you respecting Harrison is strictly true. Harrison has, during the time that I was at the farm at Bramham, and also when I lived at Normanton, and afterwards at Leeds, frequently told me that I should never be happy until my wife wag dead. This was Iwhen I was pressing Harrison to put a spell upon her, so that I might live happily with her. About the end of last year, or the beginning of this, I was in Harrison's warehouse, opposite his house, and he then told me that belladona could not be found in the human body after death, particularly if it was in a crystallised state, and he then offered to make me some, but I did not request him to do 90. At that interview he stated very positively that I should never be happy until she was out of the way. I bad no desire at that time to get rid of my wife. My belief was that Harrison was possessed of some supeinatural power, and that he could, through some influence, compel her to live happily with me. He kept continually telling me that I should not be happy until she was out of the way. I asked him in the month of February if he could do anything to get her out of the way, and he said be would lay her on a sick bed, and she would never get better. The first strychnia was got, as mentioned by me in my former statement, on the 10th day of February last, and for the purpose of killing cats. It was not got for any other purpose, and at that time I never thought of poisoning my wife. The whole of the strychnia obtained on the 10th day of Feb. was used for killing cats. The second quantity of strychnia was got by me, I believe, on the ' Thursday or Friday following, but I won't be sure as to the day. The first and second quantities of strychnia were kept in the raz ft-case, which was placed on the mantelpiece in my bedroom. I did not when I got the second quantity of strychnia think of poisoning my wife. ' I should not have got the second quantity of strychnia 3 but for the wish expressed by Mr. Morley's assistant to have the skin of a cat for a tobacco pouch. I had before this given a book to Harrison, and on the day that Eizbeth Fisher left our house I had considerable un. pleasantness with my wife about Harrison baying that book. She had a bad opinion of Harrison, and I think feared him. I bad told her when at Normanton that he had predicted her death at the end of February. On the Saturday after Eiizabeth Fisher left I took the paper containing the strychnine out of the razor case, and put it in my waistcoat pocket. I then went to my mother's house. In the afternoon I had previously called at Mr. Morley's for my wife's medicine. It was an effer vescing draught in two bottles. At my mother's that evening I took the cork out of one of the bottles and touched the wet end of it with the strychnia. I then put the cork in the bottle again and shook up the draught. Before this I ought to have ststed that I had during the Saturday afternoon put a very small quantity of the strychnia—perhaps half of a quarter of a grain—in some jel:y which my sister Jane brought from my mother's. My wile took a spoonful, and made a remark about how bitter . it was, and she then 'requested Mrs. Fisher to take some. She did, and then remarked it was bitter as aloes. I then took a spoonful, but did not taste the bitterness. I then stated I did not find the bitterness, and requested Mrs. Fisher to taste again, but she refused. I then took a second spoonful and tasted the bitterness. I did not swallow any. The remainder was thrown away at that time. It was after this that I went to Mr. Morley's and my mother's. On that Saturday evening my wits took some of the draught in Mrs. Whitham's presence. Mrs. Whitham tasted it, and stated that it was bitter. The draught was not shaken that night before it was taken. My wife did not suffer from the effects of it at all. On the way from my mother's towards home on that Saturday I threw the remainder of the strychnia away. I cannot tell you the feel ngs of my mind when I put the strychnia into the jelly and into the mixture. I cannot describe them. I did net think at the moment when I put it in as to its effects or consequences. On the Sun day evening following, which was the 24th day of Feb., . I went into Mr. Morley's surgery, and there being no person in at the time I took perhaps ten grains of strychnia and folded it in a paper. When I got home I placed it in the stable. On the Monday morning I gave my wife her draught (the effervescing m.xture) abott half-past nine, and at ten o'clock she ha i the attack as mentioned by Mrs. Fisher and Mrs. Wi tham. At the time my wife took that draught she com plained very much of the bitterness, and added that she would tell Mr. Morley about it. There were three or four doses left in the bottle after that draught was taken, and I broke the bottle in my wife's presence, fearingthat Mr. Morley might taste it. The mixture was changed on the Monday. The mixture then given was very bit ter. On the Tuesday night, or Wednesday morning, I applied tho wet end of the cork of the medicine bottle to the, strychnia, as before. I think there might be from half a grain to a grain of strychnia on the cork when I put it in the bottle. I shook the mixture up. There was then only two or three doses in the bottle. Idi nut remember my wife basin; any attack on the Wed nesday. She took -her mixture on that day. Oa the Thursday I got another bottle of medicine from Mr. Morley's, and I again applied the wet end of the cork tai the strychnia as before. About the same quantity of strychnia adhered as on the former occasion. The last dose of that mixture was taken on Friday night, at ten o'clock, and my wile was taken seriously ill in halt an hour, but she Lad no archieg of the back on that on sion that I recollect. Mrs. Fisher is mistaken, I think, on that point, but her statement in other respects is true, I believe. On that Friday night I got another bottle of medicine from Mr. Morley'e. This mixture was directed to be taken four times a day. I did not put any strych nia, into that mixture or medicine, and I did not put any upon the cork of the bottle. Mrs. Witham gave a do,e out of that bottle on the afternoon of Saturday. The strychnia was in the stable where I had first placed it, and there was no strychnia in the raz sr case on that day, nor during any part of the week. I was thinking at Sut cliffe's public house on that S storday, and I was more or less affected by liquor all the afternoon and evening. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon I went into the stab's i and took out about a grain end a half of strychnia out of the paper, and put it in another paper, which I placed ire my waistcsat pocket. I put that strychnia into the wine glass which contained a little water—l bslieve the water which was left in the glass by Mrs. Witham, after giving my wife the third dose in the after. noon; but I have no recollection as to the time when I put the strychnia into the glass. I gave the mixture in the evening in the preFence of Mrs. Witham and airs. Wood, as stated by them in their evidence. I poured the mixture into that wine glass which contained the water and strychnia. I did not put the strychnia into the wine glass in the presence of Mrs. Witham and Mrs, Wood, or either of them. I know that I put the strychnia in be fore but I cannot remember how long, before giving the medicine. I did not, when I gave the medicine on the occasions mentioned, think of the consequences of giving it; but when I saw my wife suffering from the attack on the Saturday night, it flashed across my mind that I had given her the strychnia, and that she would die from its effects. "I wal muddled before this, and didn't know what I was doing. When the thoughts of her death crossed my mind, I immediately regretted what I had done, and I believe if Mr. Morley had come in that moment I should have told him what I had given her, so that he might have used means to restore her. I cannot di,guise the anguish I fe t whet I returned from Mr. Morley's and found my wife dead. " Palmer's case first called my attention to strychnia, but I never should have thought of using that or any other poison for the purpose of taking my poor wife's life but for Harrison, who was continually telling me that I should never have any happiness until my wife was out of the way. I felt my situation immediately after seeing my poor wife's corpse, and I then feared a post modem examination taking place within 24 hours after death, as I understood that Professor Taylor had stated that strychnia could not be detected after that number of hours had expired. Harrison bad told me that I should marry a lady for my second wife having auburn hair, and light complexion, as I before stated to you. I did think that when my wife should die that I would make Mrs. Witham an offer of marriage at a suitable time. I did not think that what I was doing would cause my wife's death, and I did not give the strychnia with a view to de , troying my a ife to get Mrs. Witham. Mrs. Witham always trews i ale as a neighbour, and no more, and I wish to ads! teat I believe her evidence against me is strictly true. " I have not the slightest recollection of my wife ever stating that she wished her friends to have a post mortem examination, as stated by Elizabeth Fisher, and I do not believe that ray wife ever made any such statement to Elizabeth Fisher, or any other person. I once told my wife when she was ill, some weeks before her death, that if she died there should be a post-mortem examination. I said this because she told me her friends would blame me if anything happened to her. She immediately ob jected, and requested that I would never consent to such an examination, and added, ' My uncle Bishop will see that you have not one.' " I continued to believe in Harrison's power for some weeks alter I scam committed to prison. I believed that thehe h d ad a yi wthey ah power innow a le low r w tu r ocitioasvpteohnethd desponding ae untiltt rud queer commencingjtine o s r t a July. te.ea On can notDe vil' describe my feeli ngs . I during that day thought of committing suicide. The instrument which was found upon mo on the search made that day would have been probably used for that purpose. La the evening of that day I wrote that letter, but 1 cannot tell you my feel. ings at that time. I did feel certain that the devil would come to me that night according to my request. I wrote that letter, but never intended it to he seen by a n y per son. When they cominenced to search me f or t h e in strument r tried to conceal the letter, but the deputy governor accidentally saw it and took it away. I did not write that letter in consequence of any suggestion from any person or persons, and never mentioned that letter, or the search which had been made on that 24th April, to Air. Barret, my attorney, until within two or three days of my trial, and then only because he stated that he had received information on the subject on the Satur day before my trial. I have only to add that the verdict of the jury was just and correct, and that I freely forgive every person Who has been concerned against me, as I hope to be forgiven. " WILLIAM DOVE. "Condemned Cell, York Castle, Aug. 7, 1856. "Signed i n my presence. "J, M. BARRET, 5,-40 p,ns," THE SUM _LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST l 2 ) 1856. A SSIZ g INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LIVERPOOL, AUG. 11. Mr. Justice Wines opened the commission for South Lancashire at this town on Saturday. His Lordship charged the grand jury, and sat for the trial of prisoners at 12 o'clock to-day, at St. George's ball, Mr. Baron Bramwell sitting at 2 on the Civil Side. The calendar is an unusually heavy one, containing the names of 169 prisoners. Of these 4 are charged with murder, 9 with manslaughter, 2 with attempt to murder, 6 with stabbing, 8 with wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm, 10 with rape, 41 with burglary, 12 with robbery, 6 with housebreaking, 2 with forgery, 4 with night poaching, 18 with riot, 5 with bigamy, 1 with concealment of birth, and the rest with minor of fences. The cause list contains an entry of 102 causes, 36 of which are in the Salford list, and 66 in the Wet Derby Immediately before the business commenced in the Court, Mr. Justice Willes observed a member of the So ciety of Friends seated in the grand jury box with his hat on. Addressing him, his Lordship said—Sir, I see you with your bat on in court. I must request you to take it off. I don't assume it to be done with any in tentional disrespect on your part, as I know that mem bers of your persuasion have an objection to take off your hats in any assembly. But wearing the hat has nothing to do with religion ; the hat is a mere covering for the head, which every one in court has taken off but your self. I don't wear my hat ; and I hope that your own good sense will point out to you the propriety of taking youes off ; and you will oblige me by doing so. The Quaker gentleman, who bad stood up on being addressed by the judge, here rubbed his hands nervously over the handle of his umbrella, and without the slightest indication of any intention to remove his hat, said to his Lordship—" I don't think good sense has anything to do with it. lam a member of a persuasion that for 200 years has objected to remove the hat in any presence, and I object therefore to remove mine. I was very roughly handled in court this morning for refusing to take it off." His Lordship.—l am very sorry to hear that. I have near relatives of my own who are of your persuasion, but I never knew any one of them object to remove his hat when reasonably requested to do so. Your persist. lug to wear your hat is a mark of disrespect, and if you choose to persist in wearing it I must request you to retire from the court. The Quaker gentleman here, amid a:somewhat general titter, turned round and walked out of the grand jury box and the court with ; his hat well on his head, and with the stiff-necked bolt upright gait of a man who has successfully . performed a disagreeable but great moral duty. The first case called on was a charge of burglary at a grocer's shop at Manchester against two boys, and the first witness called to support the charge was a Quaker named Wright (the prosscutor), who appeared without his hat, and affirmed, before giving his evidence, in the ordinary way. His Lordship, in summing up, alluded briefly to what had taken place, saying he had no wish to interfere with the conscieutious scruples of any person in court, con trasting the conduct of Mr. Wright, who had appeared properly without his bat in court, and who had business there, with that of the Quaker gentleman who had per sisted in wearing his hat, and who appeared to have no business to call fur his attendance at the court, and both were of the same religious persuasion. His duty, how ever, was to prevent an exhibition of disrespect to the Court by a person who appeared not to be compelled to be there. Mr. Wright, the witness in the case, here stood up, and protested to the jury thlt he had no intention to show any disrespect to the Court in what he had done. His Lordship looked at the witness with a puzzled and surprised air, and said, " What, are you the gen tleman who just now left the court with his hat on ?" The witness admitted that he was, amid much amuse ment, and sat down with his hat off. Several charges of burqlary, having in them no fea ture of interest, were disposed of in the course of the afternoon. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Aug. 11. (Before Mr. Bliss, Q.C.) _ • Joseph, Olry, a Frenchman, described as an agent, 50 years of age, was indicted for having indecently exposed himself in the Green Park. Mr. Metcalfe (with whom was Mr. Logie) was for the prosecution ; Mr. Sleigh for the prisoner. The offence set forth in the indictment was committed on the 29;h of July, but according to the evidence of two little girls, the prisoner had been pursuing the same abominable course of conduct for a considerable period. The jury found him guilty, and, as he had been be fore convicted of a similar offence, Mr. Bliss sentenced him to 12 months' hard labour. (Before Mr. reapy.) Elwin Barton was indicted fur having embezzled the sums of 10 , ., ss. BJ., and Ss., received by him on ac count of George Ray, his master. Mr. J. P. Doyle appeared for the prosecution, Mr. Ribton for the prisoner. The prosecutor was a soda-water and gingerbeer ma nufacturer, in Artilltry-row, Westminster, and the pri soner had been in his service as carman. He was charged with appropriating to himself several sums received by Nita in that capacity, but the case was not made out, and he was acquit:ed on two indictments. Cornelius Collins was indicted for assaulting Charles M irrh, and inflicting upon him grievous bodLy harm. Mr. M'Entcer was counsel for the pro: ecution, Mr. Metcalfe for the prisoner. It appeared that the prosecutor, who is a carman, liv ing in Crow.i-street, Soho, was with his employer at a public-house in that street on the evening of the 26:h of July having some beer. Tae prisoner was there in liquor, quarrelling, and he challe , ged the prosecutor to fight him. He refused, and the prisoner struck him a blow, which he returned. The next blow given by the pri soner knocked the other down, and tlte prisoner foil upon him and bit off a piece of his nose. He was taken to the hospital, where the wound was attended to, and a piece of his n )se, which was hanging by a bit of skin, Wag sewn in its place. The jury found the prisoner guilty on the second and third counts of the indictment. Mr. Creasy sentenced him to seven months' hard labour. William, Downey was indicted for having stolen six feet of lead, the property of James Thomas Ward. Mr. Metcalfe prosecuted ; Mr. Ribton defended. It appeared that the prisoner had been sent with 25 feet of pipe to do a plumbing job, and the charge was that he had stolen six feet out of that quantity. The jury found him not guilty. Josiah Blackham, 28, John Eggelton, 23, Henry Read, 25. George Hodgson, 27, and William Freeman, 32, were indicted for sealing the sum of 191., the moneys of Wiliam Abrey, from his person. Mr. Ribton conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Metcalfe appeared for Freeman, Hodgsoo, and Read, M r . D a ly for Eggelton, and Mr. Reed for Blackham. Tuis was a case of highway robbery, although in the indictment it was charged merely as larceny from the person. The prosecutor was a farmer at Pinner, and from his evidence it appeared that one day he was in the company of the prisoners at the Plough public• house, Westbourne•grcen, drinking, and he drove them in his cart to a place at Willesden, thence to the Orange Tree, at Stone-bridge, where they robbed him of all his money, about 191., Blackbam holding him while Eggel• too emptied his pocket, the others aiding and assisting. The prisoners were seen in the prosecutor's company shortly before the robbery. Witnesses were called as to the good character of all the prisoners, and one of them, Blackham, it was stated, was a person of some little means. Last Tuesday week he received 5501. on the sale of a small freehold property in Harrow-road. The jury found them guilty, and recommended them to mercy. Mr. Creasy sentenced Eggelton to six and each of the others to four months' hard labour. The Foreman said he was desired by his brother jurors to express to the learned judge their best thanks for his most kind and gentlemanly conduct during their attendance, and if he might go so far, he would add alio for the manner in which he had disposed of the busines% brought before them. Mr. Creasy raid he felt obliged to them. The Court then adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-Aug. 11. MANSION-HOUSE.—Mr. Michael George Ryan, a fashionably-dressed young man of about 18 years of age, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with bay ing threatened to stab Mr. John Mackie, proprietor of Mullins'd Hotel, 11, Ironmonger-lane, Cheapside, with a dagger. Mr. Moos appeared on behalf of the defendant. _ _ • The prosecutor, having been sworn, satd—l knew nothing of the defendant until ho came to lodge at my hotel about a week ago. About one o'clock yesterday (Sunday) morning I met him coming out of my water closet, and told him I had found it in a state which I did not expect to find it. He made a remark to me which I did not understand, and at the same time drew from his coat the dagger produced (a moat formidable weapon about a foot iu length), and held it in a inenac ing attitude towards me.l He then wont into his bed room, and I sent for a policeman. The defendant and a friend of his occupied a double-bedded room. Mr. Moss—ln what state were you when the defendant drew the dagger, were you in your sober senses ? Prosecutor—l was. Mr. Moss—Upon your oath, were you not drunk ? Prosecutor—Certainly not. I did not refuse to allow another gentleman to leave my house till a policeman was called in. I did not demand of bim 50/., or 401., or 301. before I would allow him to depart ; but I did insist upon his paying me 101. before he left. Mr. Moss—Did that gentleman owe you 10/, ? Prosecutor—l don't think he did. Mr. Nlos.—Did you not return him the difference be tween what he owed and the 10/. yesterday ? Prosecutor—No ; Mrs. Mackie did. - Mr. Moats—Will you swear that you are not known to the police as being in the habit of getting drunk and quarrelling with your customer 3 ? Prosecuttz—l am not so known. - Mr. Moss—l will call a gentleman to prove it. The Lord Mayor—You cannot call a witness to put the complainant on his trial. Even if the complainant was drunk, it is no reason why your client should brandish a dagger over his head. Mr. Moss—l trust I shall be able before the case is concluded to satisfy your lordship that the prosecutor W 45 not in a position to give the defendant into custody. Police -constable W. Willoughby, No. 48, said—l was called by Mr. Mackie to take the defendact into custody. I found two persons in the bedroom, One Of. Mr. Moss, on behalf of the defendant, said that the latter had purchased de dagger for the purpose of tak ing it with him to Buenos Ayres, for which port he and a gentleman who had been staying with him at, the hotel of the prosecutor for a week prior to the disturb ance were about to sail. He (Ur. Moss) could not for a moment justify the conduct of the defendant in drawing the dagger, but he was instructed by his client to state that the prosecutor at the time of the altercation was drunk, and, without the least provocation, threatened to throw the defendant down stairs. (To the prosecutor.) —Will you withdrawthc charge ? Prosecutor—lf I withdraw the charge, will you with draw the insinuation as to my being drunk I Mr. Moss—No, certainly not; because your own wit ness, the officer, has proved you were drunk, in spite of your own denial of the fact. Mr. Edward Healey, a fashionably-dressed young gen tleman, of about the same age as the defendant, and who gave his evidence in a remarkably clear manner, said— The defendant and I came from Ireland together about 10 days ago, and put lip at the hotel of Mr. Mackie from the time of the arrival until the occurrence of the disturbance. A few days ago we paid for our passage to Buenos Ayres, for which port the vessel by which we are booked sails on Wednesday next. My friend pur chased the dagger for the purpose, as he told me, of de fending himself in the event of a mutiny happening dur ing the voyage. On the night of the disturbance I ob served that Mr. Mackie, whom I did not then know to be the proprietor of the hotel, was drunk, and I had seen him drunk on two previous occasions. I went to bed, and shortly afterwards I heard some words passing be tween Mr. Mackie and my friend, and when the latter came into my bedroom I asked him what was the matter. He replied,V A drunken man wanted to throw me down stairs." T r hat man (Mr. Mackie) came to the door and began to abuse us. I opened the door and said to a police man whom I saw on the landing, " You must protect us from the annoyance of this man ; you see he Is drunk ; he is a madman. I shall not stop here." I immediately packed up my things, and said I should leave the hotel, upon which Mr. Mackie, who was dreadfully excited, entered the room, and, holding his clinched fist in my friend's face, said, " I'll make you pay for this." The policeman was present all this time, and both heard and saw everything that took place. The Lord Mayor (to the officer)—ls all that true ? Officer—No. Mr. Healey—l most solemnly declare every word o it to be true. I then offered to pay the bill, upon which Mr. Mackie said, ," No, you shall not leave my hotel unless you give me 50/." I then desired the porter to let me out, which he refused to do, saying that his mas- ter would discharge him if he acted contrary to his orders. Upon this I went to the coffee-room and called for a policeman, when constable No. 451 came up, and he saw Mr. Mackie sign a receipt for the 101. which I paid him. The Lord Mayor--It is quite clear that either the last witness or the policeman has not told the whole truth. What is the defendant ! Mr. Healey—He has been a clerk in Ireland. He has friends in Buenos Ayres, and so have I. We both wish to join some friends there who have offered us employment. The Lord Mayor ordered the defendant to enter into his own recognizances to keep the peace, and said that the dagger must be impounded. Ths defandaut eaterad into his own recognis:lnces, and was discharged. The Lord Mayor requested that the press would ac knowledge the receipt of 1/. from Mr. J. Dillon towards a fund for defraying the expenses of conveying home ten of the aborigines of Walpole Island, Upper Canada. MARLBOROUGH-SFREEL—A handsome, well dressed lady entered the court, and begged advice on this matter : Last week she was induced to go into a shop where an auction was being held, and, believino; the sales to be Jona fide, she was induced to make purchases of plated dish covers and other expensive articles to the amount of 601. She paid a deposit of 10/, and left her address where the purchases were to be sent and the balance paid. The nest day the articles came, with a bill mak ing tho purchases amount to 1001., and this was effected by putting down 101. where the article was knocked down to her for 71., and so on. She was Eatistied of the additions that had been made to the prices because she had put down the figures at the time, and her servant was with her, who could also speak to the same fact. She remonstrated against this imposition, and she was told the matter could easily be rectified ; but, as she found the mode of proceeding was to be by taking away goods so as to reduce the amount to 601. she refused to have any further dealings with the auction people, and preferred to come to this court to know if there were any means by which she could get back her 10/. deposit. Mr. Bingham said he presumed the lady had not been long in London, otherwise she would not have ventured into a sham auction with any hope of being honestly dealt by. The lady admitted she had only ju3t come from Aus. Mr. Bingham asked if sha was a person of means ? The lady replied she had 2,000 guineas a•year of her own to spend. Mr. Bing4am would then advise her to take steps to punish the parties who had attempted to defraud her, and her solicitor would point out the way. MARYLEBONE.—DanieI Haley and Joitn, Gorman, were brought before Mr. Broughton, on remand, charged with having been concerned with another not in custody, in feloniously assaulting, under the infamous garotte system, and stealing from the person of Mr. James, a tobacconist in Stingo-lane, New•road, a silver watch, va'ue 51. The prisoners were both committed to take their trial at the Central Criminal Court. WORSHIP-STREET.— William Perry, a drover, was charged with the following cruelty and outrage : Sinclair, an intelligent officer of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, stated—l have for some time past had my attention directed to the wanton act of barbarity committed by drovers upon the cattle in their charge, and the more especially in consequence of repeated complaints by respectable inhabitants of New ington, Kingsland, and Hoxton, which form the chief part of the route from the railway lairs to the New Cattle-market at Islington. I have therefore kept a per severing watch upon their actions, and while in Hoxton at 7 in the evening of the 27th ult. noticed the defendant and other men driving a herd of foreign cattle in the direction of the new market. One bullock happened to be slightly in advance of the others, but was walking quietly and slowly, and doing nothing whatever to give cause for such cruelty, when the defendant went up to it and grasping his stick, which was a very thick ono, in both his hands, dealt it such a terrible blow just above one of its hocks that the poor brute seemed perfectly paralysed and crippled, and could not move its hind legs for some time afterwards. I took the prisoner into cus tody directly, and he went with me quietly for some dis• tance, but he suddenly changed his mind, refused to go any further, and told me that I was only an informer. I explained to him that I was sworn in by the Police Com missioners the same as a constable, but he resisted vio lently, and shouted to his companions to rescue him. The other men advanced, and one crying out "Cut him up," the others flung me to the ground, and held me while the prisoner kicked me about the body and legs and escaped, and I saw no more of him till he was taken last night by a constable who knew him, and to whom I had given a description of him. A tradesman named Spencer in Hoxton described the defendant's brutality in similar terms, characterising it as one of the most wanton acts he ever witnessed, and that the defendant had struck several other bullocks before that both cruelly and unnecessarily. Defendant—l did not hit the animal upon the legs at all. I am a licensed drover, and my badge is with Mr. Shanks, the clerk of the market. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Thero is no dolbt of the cruelty whatever,and I am very glad that the officers have got hold of you. I cannot conceive how you can be SJ brutal and cowardly as to wantonly injure,a poor animal which has only a few hours more to live. I shall send you to the House of Correction for 21 days, without any fine, for your cruelty to the os, and in addition to that you must pay a penalty of 20s. for your assault upon the constable or undergo another imprisonment of 14 days. Defendant—Well, I can't pay it ; that's all. THAMES.—Joseph Derrington, a carman, aged 19, of 9, Romford.row, itomford, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with furious driving and injuring a wo man named Mary Ann Lumchley, who is in the London Hospital. It appeared that on Saturday evening the prisoner, who was in charge of a horse and cart, was having an altercation with a woman named Lumchley, who is a vendor of oysters at the Earl Grey tavern, a roadside house in the Mile -end-road. The woman demanded some money that was due to her, and the prisoner said he would not pay her then, and attempted to drive off. The woman seized the reins on one side and clung to them, and the prisoner directed her to let go, and on her refusal to do so flogged his horse, whieh proceeded up the road, w ith the woman clinging partly to the shafts and partly to the reins, to the great alarm and horror of the bystanders, who expected that she would be dashed to the ground and run over. The woman ob stinately heid on to the reins while the prisoner drove as fast as lie was able. The consequence was that the horse and cart were driven on the footpath at that part of the road called Syke's•terrace, to the peril of the foot passen gers. Mr. John Taylor, a respectable tradesman, remon strate.' with the prisoner, and threatened to give him into custody. The prisoner swore at him and u't r d most foul language. The woman, spite of her danger, and regardless of remonstrance, stuck to the reins with great tenacity, and at last fell, and the wheel went over her leg. The pri soner then turned round and drove furiously down the road towerds Essex. Mr. Taylor called out " Stop him," and an instant pursuit was made by Police-sergeant Smith, No. 23 li, in another vehicle, and after a long pursuit and a deal of shouting the prisoner's horse and cart were stopped and he was secured. Sergeant Smith said the whole scene was a most frightful one, and that the people in the road were greatly terrified. The pri soner drove along the !road at a most fearful pace, and it there had been anything in his way, or if the horse and cart had come into collision with any other animal or vehicle, the consequences would have been serious. The'prisoner said that all the officer said against him was right. . . . Mr. Selfe.—What do you mean by acting in this manner and endangering people's lives ? The prisoner said the woman now in the hospital, in detiauce of his eatresties, would hold OR to the reins, LAMBETH.—Mr. George Lamb, who described him self as a Methodist minister, residing at No. 14, Suther land-square, Walwortb, was charged before the Hon. G. C. Norton with obstructing the foot and carriage way in front of the Lock's-fields station-house, by sing ing and preaching during the hours of divine service on Sunday morning. Mr. John Lund, the Superintendent of the P Division of Police, deposed that at about half past 10 o'clock on the preceding morning he was at the Lock's-fields police station, and saw the defendant and seven or eight others place themselves at about 30 yards from his office. They commenced singing a hymn, and in a very short time a crowd collected that blocked up the carriage way and foot pavement. The single men who had been on duty on the night before, and who were asleep at the station house, complained of having been aroused from their sleep by the singing, and deprived of their proper rest, and he (sir. Lund), in consequence, sent a sergeant to the parties to inform them that they had caused the blockixg up of the street, contrary to law, and must de sist. The sergeant returned with one of the party, who said his name was Lewis. He (Mr. Lund) told Mr. Lewis that he could not permit the public highway to be impeded, or his men, who had to go on duty at night, deprived of their necessary rest, and the parties must therefore desist. Mr. Lewis returned to his friends, and notwithstanding what he had told him the parties still continued upon the ground, upon which he (Mr. Lund) approached them, and addressing the defendant, who was preaching at the time, said that he could not per mit him to proceed, and unless he desisted he should feel it his duty to order him into custody. The defend ant desisted for a moment, and, removing from the car riage to the pathway, commenced a hymn, upon which be ordered him into custody, and the charge was taken in the ordinary way. The defendant was immediately bailed out by his friends, and he and his party proceeded to a piece of waste ground close by, where he recom mence i preaching. Mr. Norton—How many persons were collected in the first instance ? Mr. Lund—l should say there were about 200, your worship. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said that he went o the place in question, in front of the station house, _ _ from having heard that the Rev. Mr. Sherbourne, a friend of his, had preached there a few Sundays before, and had he been aware that he was disturbing any persons, and more particularly the constables who ' had been up all night, he should not have stopped there. He begged to say that no communication had been made to him by his friend Mr. Lewis from the officer who had just given his evidence, and when Mr. Lund had personally com plained to him he had merely given out the verse of a hymn preparatory to his taking the congregation who had assembled to a piecs of waste ground close by, the use of which was granted to them by its owner. Mr. Norton considered Mr. Lewis very much to blame in not communicating to the defendant the message de livered to him by Mr. Lund. He (Mr. Norton) saw no harm whatever in properly appointed ministers preaching in the open air. On the contrary, he believed it to be pro ductive of good ; but they must select places where no obstruction to the public thoroughfares would be occa sioned, and persons, and particularly policemen, who, of all others, required proper rest when off duty, would not be disturbed. If proper places were selected he did not suppose the police would interfere. Mr. Lamb, the defendant, observed that the number of persons who had congregated on the spot the day be fore proved that no place could have been better chosen than the one in question, and he should be most willing to attend there at a time mentioned by the superintendent that would be less inconvenient. He understood that the police had directions to protect them (the ministers) ; but if this was not the case, and that the law was to be car ried out to the letter, they would be liable to be taken up every moment. Mr. Norton repeated his belief that much good was done by open-air preaching, as there was a large class of persons who could not be got to church, and recom mended the defendant to put himself in communication with Sir Richard Mayne on the subject, and ask his permission to preach at the place mentioned. Mr. Lund said he should be compelled to oppose such permission, and observed that during the last week no less than six watch robberies took place at the Surrey Obelisk during the open air preaching. The defendant having promised not to repeat his preaching and singing at the place objected to, at least for the present, was discharged, and hit the court in com pany of a large number of friends. PROCEEDINGS AGAINST A CLERGYMAN. The Rev. George Wilkins, the incumbent of Wir, in Essex, appeared before the Bishop of Rochester, at the Castle at Colchester, on Friday, to answer a complaint of improper conduct in the church of Wir ou Sunday, May 4. Archdeacon Barney and the Rev. 11. R. S. Smith, rural dean, assisted the Bishop i❑ conducting the inquiry. The proceedings were taken on the complaint of Mr. Thomas Morris, of Wix-lodge, whose letter was read : " To the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Rochester. " Wir kdgo, by Manningtree, June 14. "My Lord,—Asone of th© parishioner; of this parish, whose family are in the habit of attending the parish church, I beg to ahlress you on a very painful subject, and I feel bound to do this because a full month has now elapsed since the occurrence of the eircumstanc9 I am about to detail, and I cannot ascertain that any notice has been taken or inquiry set on foot by any of the authorities who may be considered as specially charged in such cases. "On a Sunday in the month of May last the Rev. Mr. Wilkins, the incumbent of the parish, was in - the church fur the performance of Divine service, and, after the second lesson, abruptly terminated his reading and began an address to the congregation, commenting upon what he considered had been the immoral conduct of one of his parishioners, who was present. This provoked a reply from the pasty (a Mr. Eagle), who rose, and in profane language accused Mr. Wilkins of falsehood ; when Mr. Wilkins rejoined in the most coarse and vehe ment manner, and an altercation ensued between them of a character which would disgrace the lowest public how e. I forbear at present to enter into the particulars, further than by adding that the service was thus ended, and that the congregation left the church, one by one, offended in the highest degree. My daughters, union tunately, sat in a pew between the litigant parties, and were compelled to witness the scene, and they retred. from the church with feelings such as your Lordship can readily estimate without any further description on my part. "Neither of the churchwardens happened ti be pre sent ; but this occurrence was made known to them soon after, and I have been informed (though for thi; I can not vouch) that they reported the case to the rural dean ; yet uo inquiry was made, and I therefore felt it imperative on me to call your lordship's attention to the matter, and to request that your lordship will, without delay, take the necessary steps, not only to punis), but to secure the parish against the recurrenc e o f suc h an ex hibition, for it is iedee hard that a congiegation, asesm bled in the House of God for His worship, should have their ears assailed by such language as was used by both parties on the occasion referred to, and to be sent to their homes only to contemplate with dismay and disgust the sad want of all that they had a right to look for in him who should be their spiritual teacher. " I can, if necessary, readily verify the foregoing statement awl the minute details of the case by many respectable witnesses, and, " I am, my lord, &c., " THOMAS MORRIS." The Bishop then inquired of Mr. Wilkins what he bad to say in answer to the complaint. Mr. Wilkins—l throw myself entirely on yoar lord ship's indulgence. I admit—it is not my intention to make any reply to what is there said. The Bishop said it fell to his lot, and he was extremely sorry for it, to be obliged to reprimand Mr. Wilkins Very severely for- the extremely improper conduct of which he was guilty on that occasion. He need hardly repeat what was stated in that paper, which, in fac', Mr. Wilkins did not contradict. In passing sentence of reprimand and admonition, he could not forget that he was addre,sing a venerable brother of the Church, against whom on no former occasion had he heard any charge, who had hitherto conducted himself with great propriety, and for whom he always entertained a high respect. It was with great pain that he repri manded him on this occasion, and Mr. Wilkins was re primanded accordingly. His Lordship hoped that he would return to his parishioners and enjoy once again that re. spect and attention which they had hitherto shown him, and he (the Bishop) believed justly so. He was aware that in his immediate neighbourhood there were persons who entertained malicious feelings towards him, very en ' justly, as he had reason to believe, but he hoped the generality of the parishioners had a very different feel ing ; from the zeal he had shown for their spiritual wel fare, and from his general propriety of condwit unt,l this occasion, when he unfortunately forgot himself ix a manner which he could not but feel afforded a just ground of complaint. The churchwardens were not pre sent, otherwise it would have been their duty to report the matter to him. He might add that, generally speaking, it was not for the Bishop to take proceedings, but for the party complaining, as the Bishop was judge, and ought not to be judge and prosecutor at the same time ; but he felt it to be his duty to reprimand a clergyman for condueting himself so improperly as Mr. Wilkins unfortunately did on this occasion. He would not refer to the conduct of Mr. Eagle, as his case was not before him, but it seemed to have been very im proper. There was some excuse for Mr. Wilkins, though nothing could really excuse him, because be ought to have had his temper more under his command. One of the churchwardens inquired if his Lordship would advise them to take proceedings against Mr. Eagle ? His Lordship said they were at liberty to do so if they liked, and there was no doubt he behaved exceed ingly ill upon the occasion, but be did not feel it to be his place to enter into a matter which was not before It is understood that proceedings are intended to be taken against Mr. Eagle. COVENT -GARDEN THEATRE.—The reported commence ment of the rebuilding of this theatre on its late site is incorrect. The site of it has not been taken ; neither has any contract for rebuilding it been entered into. Whether it will be applifld to the same or some other purpose bas not yet been determined upon. whom was the defendant, who was in his trousers only, and had the dagger produced suspended from a btrap round his body. He was quite sober. The Lord Mayor—Yon say that the defendant was sober; in what state was the prosecutor? Witness—A. little the worse for drink. cause he was unable to pay per a few pence—a debt in• curred for cyster. Mr. Self° hal no doubt the woman acted very wrongly in holding to the reins, but he was not now trying the case of assault upon her, but the case of furious driv ing-, which was clearly made out, and for which he should fine the prisoner 20 , . The penalty was instantly paid. BANK RETURNS.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A most interesting recovery from a vast complication of diseases, such as indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver com plaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility, without the aid of medicine,, by Du Barry's Reva leata Arabica Food, is recorded in the following let. ter :—Cure 52,422.—" Bridgehouse, Frimley, 3d April, 1854. I have suffered these 33 years continually from diseased lungs, spitting of blood, liver derangement, deafness, singing in the ears, constipation, debility, shortness of breath, and cough, and during that period taken so much medicine that I can safely say I have laid out upwards of a thousand pounds at the chemists and doctors. Indeed I was in utter despair, and never expected to get over it, when I was fortunate enough to become acquainted with your Reva lenta Arabica, which, Heaven be praised, restored me to a state of health which 'I long since despaired of attaining. My lungs, liver, stomach, head, and ears are all right, my hear. ing perfect,- and my recovery is a marvel to all my acquaint ances.— I am, respectfully, JAMES ROBERTS, wood-merehant.— Supported by testimonials from the celebrated Professors of Chemistry Dr. Andrew Ure ; Dr. Shorland ; Dr. Harvey ; Dr. Campbell ; Dr. Gattikor ; Dr. Wurzer ; Dr. Ingram ; Lord Stuart de Decies; the Dowager Countess of Castle stuart ; Major-Gen.
