The commander, Captain Smith, thus announces the event in his report to the Government on the subject:— "PORT NATAL, MAY 25. " SIR,—It is with feelings of deep regret I - have the honour to communicate to you the disastrous re sult of an attack made by the force under my com mand on the emigrant fkrmers congregated at the Congella camp at this place. " In my last despatch I detailed the , various step; taken by the farmers to annoy the troops, and my de termination to abstain, if possible, from hostilities, if it could be done without detriment to the honour of the service, in the vain hope of conciliating these mis guided people, and smoothing the way to the quiet settlement of their long-disturbed position as regards the Government of the Cape. But the receipt of an insolent letter, demanding that the force I commanded should instantly quit Natal, followed up by the re moval by armed men of a quantity of cattle belonging to the troops, rendered it absolutely necessary that some steps should be taken in order to prevent the re petition of such outrages. " I therefore determined after mature consideration to march a force and attack their camp at the Con gella (a place about three miles from our position, where they have been for some time collecting), and set apart the night of the 23d instant for that ob ject. As the road leading to the Congella from the post the troops now occupy lies for the most part through thick bush, I thought it best to cross the sands at low water, as, by this means, I could avoid annoyance from the farmers until within a short dis tance of their station. Fitting a howitzer, therefore, in a boat, under the superintendence of Lieutenant Wyatt, of the Royal Artillery, and leaving it under the charge of a sergeant of the same corps, I gave him directions to drop down the channel to within 500 yards of Congella„ and await the troops, in order that they might form under the cover of its fire, aided by that of two six-pounders, which accompanied the force I took with me. This consisted of one subal tern, and 17 privates, Artillery ; one subaltern, one sergeant, and two privates, Royal Sappers ; two cap tains, two subalterns, five sergeants, and 100 rank and file, 27th Regiment; and two mounted orderlies of the Cape Rifles. " Having previously sent out a picket to feel the skirts of the wood in front of our position, in order to prevent our movements being discovered, I put the whole party in motion at eleven, p.m. (it being bright moonlight) and arrived without molestation till within nearly 800 yards of the place, I proposed to attack. To my great mortification I found the boat had not dropped down the Channel according to my instructions, but as I considered it imprudent to wait the chance of her arrival, I was forced to make the attack without the valuable assistance a discharge of shells and shot from the howitzer would have af forded me. Giving the order to advance, therefore, the troops had just moved to where the termination of a range of mangrove bush opened to a level space in froat of the Congella, when a heavy and well- ' directed fire:from the bush was poured on them ; upon which they immediately formed and commenced a fire in return while the two six-pounders were loading. " Unfortunately one of the draught oxen being shot caused some interruption, but this being soon got over, a destructive fire from our guns silenced for a while our opponents ; but several more of the oxen being wounded, on escaping out of their traces, rushed among the troops and caused much delay and con fusion in the ranks. This circumstance again favoured the Boers, who, taking advantage of it, opened a re newed fire with their long pieces (much more destruc tive than a musket,) and a severe loss among the troops was the Consequence. " Finding, then, that I was not likely to accom plish the purpose for which I had put the detachment in motion, and that the men were falling fast, I thought it expedient to retire ; effecting this object after some delay, the partial rising of the tide render ing the road difficult. The troops, however, reached the camp about two o'clock in tolerable order, leaving behind them, I regret to say, the guns, which the death of the oxen rendered it impossible to remove. "Thinking it probable this partial success of the farmers might induce them to make an immediate attack on the camp, I made such preparations as I thought necessary, and found my suspicions realised shortly after by a large body of them opening a heavy fire on three sides of it. This was met by a spirited resistance on our part, but they did not finally retire until about an hour before day-break. " Such, I regret to inform you, has been the result of this attack, and the consequent loss has been severe, the total in both skirmishes being such as detailed in the enclosed return. One great cause of failure I attributed to the mismanagement of the boat, in which I had placed the howitzer, by the shells of which I had hoped the farmers would have been thrown into confusion, but she dropped down too late to be of any use, and even then took up a position too distant for her fire to produce much effect. " Among the many matters connected with the subject of this report, and awakening the deepest re gret, is the death of Lieutenant Wyatt, of the Royal Artillery, who for the two previous days had exerted himself much in making the necessary arrangements. He was killed early in the action. Of the zealous exertions of Captain Lonsdale and Lieutenant Lun nard, of the 27th Regiment, I was also deprived, both these officers being severely wounded. In fact, under the trying circumstances in which the detachment was placed, I have only to regret that, with such willingness to perform the duty assigned to them, the result should have been so unfortunate. " The loss on the part of the Boers it is difficult to estimate, but I am told it has been severe. The whole of this day they have made no movement, but I have to give them the credit of treating such of the wounded as fell into their hands with great humanity. These, with the bodies of those who fell, they sent to the camp in the course of the afternoon, and to-mor row the sad duty of interring our departed comrades will take place. " AV hat steps the farmers may take I cannot at this moment surmise with any degree of certainty, though I think it probable they will again demand that I quit the territory they call their own within a certain time. I shall, of course, do what I can to maintain myself in my present position ; but considering the number of the disaffected, and the means they possess of mo lesting the troops, I beg to urge the necessity- of a speedy reinforcement, as I scarcely consider the troops at present stationed here sufficient for the per formance of the duty to which they have been as signed. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obe dient, humble servant, " J. C. SMITH, " Captain, 27th Regiment, commanding. " His Honour Colonel Hare, C.B. and K.H, Lieutenant-Governor," &c.

Intelligence from Port Natal reached Graham's Town on Saturday afternoon, that a collision had taken place between the Boers and the troops, in which the latter had been defeated with considerable loss. We should mention that on the prior Thursday, a despatch had been received by the Lieutenant-Go vernor from Captain. Smith, announcing his safe ar rival at Natal. We Understand that the Dutch ap peared to have been taken by surprise at the appear ance of the troops. They had, however, posted several inflammatory notices addressed to the people, which Captain Smith took the liberty of removing, and substituting in their stead the Governor's procla mation. I-Ie also hauled down the Natal pennant, and substituted in its place the British flag. So mis trustful, however, was he of the intentions of the Boers, that the parties he sent out to cut wood and procure water, were accompanied by an armed escort. They were provided with provisions but for two or three days, though luckily these were supplied by the Pilot, which had been sent round from the Cape for that purpose. IV e believed, from the tenor of the intelligence re ceived on this occasion, that—however disposed the Dutch might be to resist the re-establishment of British authority—and however readily they might embrace every opportunity to annoy the troops,—yet we were not prepared for the painful intelligence which reached us on Saturday. The particulars of the conflict, as far as we have been able to gather them, are these :—lt appears that the Boers had succeeded in capturing a number of oxen, which fad been turned out to graze. Captaiu Smith allowed them a certain time to restore them, and finding that they did not comply with his demand, resolved to attack their encampment by night. For this purpose he took about half his force, and two 6- pounders, and commenced his march about 11 o'clock at night. The encampment of the Boers is distant from the entrenchment of the troops about two miles in a westerly direction. The road, as it approaches the fortifications of the Dutch, has mangrove trees on one side, and the water on the other. It comprehends, in short, a portion of the bight of the Bay of Natal. The troops had proceeded without mishap to a place called Kangela, which is within some 600 yards from the Boers' camp, when on a sudden a murderous fire of musketry was opened upon them from behind the trees; not an enemy was to be seen. The flashes were the only indication of the proximity of a foe. , 5 The troops returned the fire, and the engagement lasted about three quarters of an hour. Lieutenant Wyatt, a young artillery officer of much promise, leas amongst the foremost who fell. He was shot through the head. Captain Lonsdale, of the 27th, was wounded in the arm and leg, though, we are happy to say, not dangerously ; also Lieutenant Tunnard, of the 27th. Of the oxen drawing the guns, some, we believe, were killed, and some run away; so that the field-pieces were obliged to be abandoned, and fell into the hands of the enemy. Capt. Smith then retired to his fortifications, and the Boers as we hear, under the impression that they had annihilated the whole of the troops, subsequently made an attack upon the British camp, when they were repulsed with the loss, it is supposed, of a consi derable number of their companions ;_ a quantity of horses and guns were afterwards found upon the spot, belonging to the slain. A Dane, it is said, betrayed the intentions of Capt. Smith to the Boers, and thus enabled them to waylay their opponents. The dispatch was brought from Capt. Smith to the Lieut.-Governor by Mr. R. King, who has been for twelve years a resident at Natal. He volunteered in the most handsome manlier to perform this service, and was, we believe, the only individual at Natal who was willing to undertake the task. Mr. King accomplished the journey in ten days. Two horses carried him to the Umgazi, and the assistance of the missionaries en abled him to perform the remainder of the journey. 'We should mention that he acted as guide to the troops in their meditated attack upon the Boers, and that a ball went through his hat, and his horse was shot under him, during the murderous onslaught. He appears to have run some risk in coming hither. About twelve miles from Natal, he saw the spoor of twelve horses, going in the direction of the colony, and on calling at one of his places afterwards, he was told by the natives there, who are in his service, that some Boers had been inquiring of them if any Eng lishmen had been that way, and stating that they had killed all the English. The Dutch schooner, of which mention has been made before, had left the bay, we hear, before the arrival of the troops. "We are informed, that it has been stated in a recent English paper, that a num ber of discontented Batavian officers had determined to offer their services to the Natal Boers. The arrival of this vessel is thought to have been the means of strengthening the determination of the Boers to resist the troops. The Dutch encampment contained about 600 when the troops arrived, and a reinforcement of 200 has since been received. The Dutch emigrants are said, however, to be able to muster abeut 4,000 fighting men. Panda, we are informed, has sent to Captain Smith to offer his services, but they had not been ac cepted, though it is possible that this will now be the case. This chief perhaps can muster 10,000 warriors. The chiefs Faku and Isl'Capai, with their followers, will, we believe, be glad of a n o pp o rtunity of falling upon the Dutch. Faku offered to escort Captain Smith to Natal, with a number of his followers, but the offer was declined. The Boers, it is said, since the arrival of the troops, held a meeting at Natal, in which the question of peace or war was debated, and only three of them were for yielding to British authority. A paper was sent round, by order of the Volksraad, to all the English residents at Natal, which they were required to sign, binding themselves to oppose the troops; not one of them, however, signed it. Mr. Archbell, the Wesleyan missionary, is on hoard one of the vessels in and most of the English resident whithe r they have retired for safety. The Dutch treated the wounded kindly, w i his fa mly t h e bay, at Natal, th dressed their wounds, and sent them back to Captain Smith. The bodies of the slain were washed and sent back. The dead body of a Boer, which had been found by the English, was of course delivered up to his comrades. There are, it is said, several deserters from the 72d in the Boer's camp. A man of the name of Joachim Prins, as we hear, has much in fluence in the Volksraad. He is described as an un principled and turbulent character. Pretorius, who is again at Natal, and who is believed to have led the attack upon the British, is represented as prudent in resolve, though determi ne d i n a c ti on . He is Commander-in-Chief. It is thought that the various clusters of Boers, who are located beyond the Orange River, will rush to Natal upon the receipt of the late disastrous intelligence. The Boers within the colony will naturally sympathise with their brethren at Natal, and it is feared that they will do more than sympathise. A person of the name of Bertram, holding some official post., has lately returned to the colony from beyond the Orange River, principally, it is said, on account of the hostile attitude to the British Government, which his coun trymen were assuming. A despatch was sent to his Excellency overland, within three hours after the receipt of Captain Smith's communication. The bearer is Ensign llar vey, C.M.R., who expects to arrive in Cape Town in five days. Eighty men of the 27th Regiment left Graham's Town on Monday morning to proceed to Natal by sea, via Port Elizabeth. I ,i• he officers who accompany them are Captain Durnford, Lieutenant Lewis, of the 27th, and Livut. Turner, R. A. Major Selwyn had previously proceeded to Port Elizabeth to procure a ship to take the troops round. We hear that 12 more soldiers are to go from Algoa Bay, thus constituting a reinforcement of about 100 men. 'We omitted to mention that Mr. King heard some sharp firing, as he thought, of artillery, in the direc tion of Natal, after he had proceeded about 18 miles on the road to the colony. He also narrowly escaped, during his journey, being stabbed by a native, by whom he was mistaken for a Boer. We have also been informed that the Boers at tacked the British entrenchment about two hours after the first attack. This assault continued during the space of an hour and a half, or thereabouts. Only two Hottentots were killed, and a yo ung ma n named Nelson wounded. Mr. Benningfi e id, we understand, was among the English residents at Natal, who ad vanced to welcome the arrival of Captain Smith and the troops under his command. The Natal pennant is, we understand, a square red, white, and yellow flag. RE-PAVING OF LONDON-BRIDGE.—In consequence of the number of labourers employed in repairing this fine structure, the right hand or western side will be finished to-day, so as to throw it open to vehicles crossing from the City to the Boro ug h ; and the left-hand side, over which they now pass, will be finished with all expedition, so that the general traffic shall not be impeded by the circuit over South wark-bridge. GROUSE.—This beautiful bird is no t ve ry often found in the lower part of this county, but on the borders of part of Pembrokeshire and Cardigan s hir e it is found in great plenty. There is an abundance of them this year, more than has been for some years past ; they are unusually forward and strong on the wing, doubtless owing to the general fine weather. Broods of 14, 16, and 18 have been repeatedly seen on the hills in Cardi ganshire. The other sorts of game are also very abund ant.—The Welshman. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.—Yesterday, between five and six o'cloclt, several of the Royal carriages drawn by four beautiful horses, and attended by coachmen, postilions, and footmen, passed through the City to the Leith Wharf, East:Smithfield, where they will be embarked on board the Edinburgh steamer, which will proceed on its voyage immediately that the freight is complete, in order that the vehicles may be in readiness for the use of her Majesty and suite at her de barkation from the Royal George. There were also in the train several Royal caravans, laden with chests and hampers of almost every size, containing refreshments ; and one of them contained part of the wardrobe of the queen and her Royal consort, GLOBE.—The Tory papers of the metropolis —and the journals of that party in the provinces, taking their cue from their London leaders-- present a most anomalous, if not an absolutely contradictory view of the disturbed state of the country, and the causes which have produced it. They vie with each other, absolutely labouring for language, when describing the ignorance, the meanness, the. utter worthless ness of the instruments, and are equally at a loss to select terms sufficiently energetic in descrip tions of the sad havoc which these grossly igno ran t and perfectly contemptible agen ts have caused among multitudes of the population. They have lured the people from the paths of peace into those of disorder; and, having first induced them, throughout wide and populous districts, to abandon the pursuits of industry, have impelled them to embark in schemes of mischief, and to engage in combinations which have threatened the subversion of public order, and have re quired the utmost wisdom and power of Govern ment, aided by the energy and promptitude of the local authorities, to suppress ! Such is the ridicu lous corollary—the utterly inadequate cause for consequences so vast and pregnant with danger to the whole framework• of society—to which these "best possible instructors" invite the assent , of those who seek for wisdom in their columns. • The burden of the morning and evening lucu brations of such oracles is, the sins and follies of the Anti-Corn-law League; which is composed of men whose ignorance is only equalled by their destitution of influence among the people whom they sought to excite, fbr the purpose of compel ling the Government to repeat the Corn-law. We are assured they have signally failed in producing any demonstration on the part of the people against that law. They are also elo quent on the absolute paucity of numbers, weight, and influence of the Chartists; who have only assembled to exhibit their in ability to produce any impression more dignified than that of contempt. And yet the country has been shaken with alarms ! Masses of the popu lation have assembled in different parts of the country—have actually done much, and threat ened more, mischief—troops have been despatched in large numbers, with artillery, and attended by the pomp and circumstance of military dis play, as though about to engage with the com mon enemy ! And these mighty movements have been caused by the Anti-Corn-law League, whose agitation the people have refused to sanc tion—and by the Chartists, whom the people have.agreed to despise ! Such an association of cause and effect is, certainly, passing strange. STANDARD.—Tae paralysis of trade in the manufacturing districts still continues, although all apprehension of further violence has pretty ' well subsided. In Manchester the return to work of the operatives is as yet partial, whilst in the surrounding towns of Oldham, Ashton, Staleybridge, Bury, Hyde, and other places, they still continue out. At Birmingham, where Mr. Joseph Sturge has been issuing proclama tions with comparative impunity, some uneasi ness continues to prevail ; but with the exception of a striking illustration of the correctness of our statistics of the materials of which insurgent bodies are usually composed, in the daring bur glary committed by a body of turn-outs at Ilindley, no new outrage appears to have been perpetrated. When the fund which has been pro vided for the subsistence of these deluded men shall be exhausted, their resumption of work may be looked upon as certain. Indeed, the De legates themselves have already begun to hint their conviction that the opportunity has been lost; and the object of the recommendation of the Anti-Corn-law Leaguers to their dupes, to " run for gold," appears now to be very generally understood. They are no doubt beginning to be tired of their disbursements, as they must by this time be fully satisfied of the futility of their efforts. The Morning Chronicle ought to be aware that the proofs of their con nection with the late disturbances are not con fined to the testimony of Mr. Feargus O'Connor, nor to the recent declaration of any other wit- ness of similar authority ; they are .. to be found in the predictions of events by members of that body which they have since assisted in fulfilling. The notable idea of the Corn-law Leaguers of stopping their mills simultaneously was menaced long before the threat was carried into effect; and although it is perfectly true that many of their dupes have preferred some special griev ance of their own to the one which had been " cut and dried" for them by the League, it is no less certain that, let the mischief have assumed what guise it may, it owes its origin to them. The question is, however, in a fair way ofbeing decided, for, independently of the disclosures which will, no doubt, be evolved on the trials of the rioters, inquiries are at this moment being instituted by the Government into the causes of the disturb ances, a Commissioner having been sent for that purpose into the disturbed districts. We cannot agree with a Morning Contemporary in con demning the privacy with which this preliminary investigation is to be conducted. The ends of truth and justice would be defeated were the parties implicated in these transactions put upon their guard by the daily publication of the pro ceedings of the Commission. When the investi gation shall be completed, and the trials of the misguided persons now in the hands of the civic power shall have taken place, the public will no doubt be made acquainted witn the real cause and origin of the disturbances. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. IVESTERIV ClRCUlT—Bristol, August 22. Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN came into this city and opened the Commissions on Saturday. There are about GO causes, which is a larger entry than usual for Bristol. Business commenced this morning, when 15 or 16 undefended causes were rapidly disposed of. CIVIL SIDE.--COLLINS V. TOGRILL. This was :n action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant fOr the seduction of the . plaintiff's daughter. Mr. Sergeant Bompas and Mr. J. Smith were for the plaintiff; Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Stone for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS opened the case, by stating that the defendant had commenced his solicitations of the plaintiff's daughter so far back as six years ago, when she was only fourteen years of age. She was then, it was said, a servant at Mrs. Hosier's, who kept a lodging-house, where the plaintiff and a lady that was called his wife came to live. Of this conduct on the part of the defendant, the daughter informed her parents, and she was then removed from Mrs. Hosier's. She afterwards went into other situations, then learnt the trade of shoe-binding, then went into service again, and for some time past had worked at the trade she had learned at her father's house, who is a journeyman shoe-maker, residing in this city. During all this time, the defendant was represented to have frequently met her, and solicited her to come to his counting douse, he being a merchant, end having a counting-house on the quay. To these soli citations she at length yielded, and then it was she sur rendered to the defendant's wishes. This intercourse was kept up for nearly three years, and the result was a child, which was born some time in the last month. Emma Collins, on being called, confirmed the state ment that had been made by the Learned Sergeant in opening the case. But upon cross-examination she admitted that the amount of the plaintiff's conduct to her at Mrs. Hosier's was that he kissed her two or three times, and told her to keep the change of the money that had been given her to purchase beer. She also admitted that the defendant had simply asked her when he had met her in the street to meet him, and there did not appear in the defendant's conduct to have been any arts made use of to induce the girl to comply with his wishes. But the most unfortunate admission for the plaintiff's case was that the defendant was not the first person whom she had known intimately. She admitted that a young man, under promise of mar riage, had gained possession of her six months before the defendant did. The father had also said, when he had seen the defendant after the birth of the child, that there was no ground to charge him with the seduction of his daughter. The defendant had offered to pay the expenses and keep the child. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN suggested, that as there could be no pretence in this case to charge the de fendant with the seduction of the girl, and as those terms had been offered, it would be better to agree upon what the expenses were, and take a verdict ac cordingly. The Learned Counsel, however, could not agree upon the terms, and the consequence was that Mr. Cockburn addressed the Jury for the defendant, who, after Leafing the remarks of the Learned Judge NORTHERN CIRCUIT—York, August 22. CROWN SlDE—(Before Mr. Justice SIAuLE.) Nicodemus Sharp was indicted for maliciously in juring, with intent to render useless, a certain engine employed in the manufacture of cotton, and belong ing to a Mr. Greenwood at Horton, near Bradford. Mr. Wilkins, Mr. Pashley, and Mr. Pickering conducted the prosecution ; and Sir G. Lewin and Mr. Hall the defence. • The prisoner had for some years been in the employ of the prosecutor, as tender of a steam-engine, at a salary of 28s. a week, and in consequence of some im provement in the working of the engine suggested by him, his wages were raised to 325. a week. The power of the engine was let out to various persons. On Wednesday, the 27th of April, some of them com plained that the engine was not doing its work properly, on which the prosecutor went to the engine house, when he found that the prisoner had gone out for the day, leaving a lad to attend to the fires. The steam was found to be up to a sufficient pressure, but still the engine did not go properly on ; the regular rate being 19 strokes per minute, while it did not make more than 14 or 15. No cause of the defect could be found. The next day a regular engineer from the works of the engine builder attended, but during the whole day was unable to detect the cause. He continued his observations on Friday, and at length his attention was attracted by a loose stone in a wall neafthelloor,iseineath-whielt-the condenser was placed; on removing it he found a piece of a gas pipe laid from the wall to the condenser, which had been bored through to introduce it. The other end extended through the wall and had a small valve opening in wards, by which means a small quantity of air was admitted at every stroke of the engine and the con densation rendered imperfect. On the pipe being closed the engine instantly resumed its usual rate of working. The prisoner did not return for some days, but was then taken into custody. On his way to prison he told the constable that in case he got over this job he would never belong to a union again. On the close of the case for the prosecution several oVections were taken to the indictment. It was de scribed as an engine used in the manufacture of wool len goods and cotton warps, when it turned out in proof that the mixture of cotton and wool in the ma nufacture was not of the kind described. Other ob jections existed, but the Judge deeming that sufficient the others were not gone into, and the prisoner was acquitted. THE. ARCHBISHOP OF CANTER BURY. Our readers will learn with pleasure that Dr. Howley is recovering, though gradually, from his recent rather severe indisposition. The Archbishop very much amended during Tuesday ; and we un destand that his physicians entertain the confident expectation that his Grace will shortly be enabled to resume his important official functions. The follow ing very satisfactory bulletin was exhibited yester day at Lambeth Palace, where inquiries have again been numerous, especially when it is recollected that most of the Nobility and Gentry are absent from town at this season of the year : " His Grace has passed a very good night, and is this morning considerably better. " Addington Park, Aug. 24." WOOLWICH-TUESDAY. HER MAJESTY'S EMBARKATION AT WOOLWICH. The following order has just been issued for the instruction of the inspectors and police baying charge of the Dockyard-gate : " NOTICE. " No person will be admitted into the dockyard cn the da y that her Majesty embarks, excepting officers in fulluniform. " By order of the " Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. " Woolwich, August 23, 1842." The following naval officers have had the honour of being appointed to the vessels which will convey her Majesty and the Royal party to Scotland : Commander Frederick Wood (1838) to the Royal George. Lieutenant Hon. Charles' St. Clair (1837), Flag- Lieutenant of the Caledonia, to the Royal George. Lieutenant William Southey (1814), in the Coast guard service, to the Salamander.

There continues to be a tolerably good demand both or yarn and goods ; and, as the stocks of both, with the exception of those in the possession of a few opu-' lent firms, are exhausted, higher prices have again been realized, At these prices, however, the buyers of goods are by no means inclined to make extensive purchases, but confine their operations to such parcels as are needed for immediate use. IVe believe there are rather extensive offers on the part of purchases, to contract both for yarn and goods, at prices a shade lower than those current in the market ; but, under existing circumstances, the spinners and manufac turers are very unwilling to make contracts for future delivery on any terms. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, AnG.22. —This day being the wakes, together with the dis turbed state of the town, many who usually come to this market have not attended ; consequently, the business transacted has been upon a very limited scale.—The wool market has been no better than the piece market, and prices in both have undergone no change. THE WINE HARVEST.—MONZINGE ON THE NAHE, AUG. 13.—Yesterday wine was drunk in the house of M. Fuchs, made this year from the produce of his own vineyard ;it was very excellent. In general we expect that the vintage will be of a superior quality, for the weather which we have had for some weeks past has con tributed to the early ripening of the grape. We remem ber that in the remarkable year 1811, the first wine was tried a week later, and this was considered something very extraordinary. Frankfort, August 15.—The spe culators in our wine districts, expecting a very produc tive year, flattered themselves that the meeting of the Deputies of the Customs' Union at Stutgard would com ply with their wishes expressed in a petition, and impose a very heavy duty on the importation of French wines. We learn, however, that this petition has not had the desired effect, the Deputies being resolved not to enter upon a course that might lead to prohibition and repri sals, the consequences of which would be very injurious. FRAUDS IN THE CORN-TRADE.—Much attention has been of late directed to the numerous and palpable inaccuracies which have been apparent in the corn re turns transmitted to the Inspector at Mark-lane, where the trade has, it is well known, a great influence upon the markets throughout the kingdom. It appears that in London on the 4th ult., an advance of from ls. to 2s. per quarter took place in the prices of wheat, and the following average for the kingdom was 645. Id. The next market day an abatement of quite 2s. was sub mitted to in prices in almost the whole of our markets, and yet the weekly return was 655. Bd.! The following week quotations declined 3s. to Gs. per quarter, yet the declared average for Saturday, the 23d ult., was 655. 4d. Pursuing the inquiry a week further, we find that wheat fell on Monday, July 25, from ls. to 25., yet the average declared was 635. 9d. On this day se'nnight, wheat was Is. to 3s. cheaper, and the last average was 61s. 3d. So that it will be seen, notwithstanding the actual prices have fallen 145., the average has only de clined 4s. sd. per quarter. It may be said that an im provement in the condition of the secondary and inferior runs has been productive of this state of things ; but we have to state that the very reverse has been the case, more out-of-quality sorts having been brought forward than for some time past. It is satisfactory, however, to learn that these facts have been brought under the notice of the Government, who have expunged several of the returns made to them, and ar e usin„e• every means to punish the offending parties.—Newcastle Journal. Typhus fever has prevailed in Paris for the last six weeks or two month s , w ith an i ntens i ty equa l t o, if not surpassing, that of the epidemic of 1831. It is not only common among the poor, but also among the middle classes. Several of the wards of the hospitals are crowded. The cases are said not to be so fatal as usual. Small-pox has destroyed great numbers. OTTER HUNTING.—On Wednesday last, the Hon. Grantley Berkeley's otter-hounds met at the residence of Mr. Hallett, at Philiols, near Wareham, and drew the adjacent streams for an otter. Three of these animals were quickly found, who afforded a great treat to the lovers of sport in that vicinity, it being a chase now seldom to be witnessed, though of very ancient origin. The pack consisted of some fine old fax-hounds from Berkeley Castle, and some terriers, all of whom have been entered at the sport by Mr. Berkeley, who hunts his hounds himself. Two of the otters were killed by the hounds in the course of the day, one of which held the pack in full pursuit for nearly four hours, Mr. Ber keley sharing their work with them in the river as well as on the laud. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. _ OLD COURT. _ (Befere Lord ABINGER, Mr. Justice WILLIAMS, and Mr. Baron ROLFE.) THE ALLEGED ROBBERY OF THE LATE MARQUIS OF HERTFORD BY HIS VALET.—Nicolas Suisse, 58, was indicted with stealing securities in the French funds to the amount of nearly 100,0001., the property of the late Marquis of Hertford, whose valet he had been for upwards of twenty years. There were four indictments against the prisoner, but the one on which he was first tried charged him with stealing, and appropriating to his own use, the proceeds of certain French coupons of the value of 1,3001. and upwards. Mr. Kelly, Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. Phillips were counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Chambers, and Mr. James defended the prisoner. The prisoner, who is a very gentlemanly-man in appearance, on being arraigned, answered in a firm voice that he was Not guilty. Mr. KELLY then proceeded to address the Jury on behalf of the prosecution. He said that the present was one of several indictments which the executors of the late Marquis of Hertford had considered their duty to prefer against the prisoner at the bar, by which they charged him with having feloniously stolen a quantity of securities in the French funds of very considerable value. As there was reason to believe that the prisoner had possessed himself of those securities at different times, and as by law one offence only could be included in one indictment, it had become necessary to prefer four indictments. He should not feel it necessary on the present occasion to occupy the time of the Jury in preliminary observa tions. The case was one demanding particular atten tion from the Jury, and the necessity for that atten tion was increased by the fact that the prisoner at the bar was a foreigner. Fie would now, without further preface, state the circumstances of the case to the Jury. The prisoner at the bar, Nicolas Suisse, had beer for up wards of twenty years the valet and principal personal attendant on the late Marquis of Hertford, who had passed the greater part of almost every year of his life since 1820, on the Continent ; and who had tra velled a good deal through France, Italy, and other countries. In those travels he had been constantly attended by the prisoner, who had been recommended to the late Marquis, by his son, the present one. The prisoner had made himself extremely serviceable to the late Marquis, and by doing so had succeeded in gaining his entire confidence • and for the last few years of his life had been almost his sole personal attendant, and had paid all the bills and expenses in curred by the Marquis. For doing this he had a salary from the Marquis of about 120/. a year, together with many perquisites, which rendered his situation a very valuable one. In the year 1840, the Mar quis had an attack of paralysis, by which his health was considerably impaired, and from that time till his death he never enjoyed perfect health, and particularly during the last three months of his life, when both his mental and bodily faculties were so impaired that he had great difficulty of utterance, and was totally incapable of attending to his own affairs or interests. In 1841 the Marquis returned from Paris to London, and resided in his house in Park-lane. For the last two months of his existence the prisoner had been constantly with him, and was present when he expired on the Ist of March. The prisoner remained in England some time after the Marquis's death, but towards the end of March he seemed to show an anxiety to go to the Continent, and on the 4th of April lie went to Messrs. Wells, Capron, and Co., the solicitors to the executors of the late Marquis, stated that he had obtained his passport, and entreated them to prevail on the executors to let him go. As, however, the prisoner had been in the habit of disbursing a great deal of money for the late Mar quis, and as be had not made up his accounts, and as he had received several thousand pounds, for which he had not accounted, the executors refused his re quest. At another interview with one of the firm of Wells and Cassam, he renewed his wish to go to the Continent, made certain representations with respect to large sums he had received, stated that he wanted money from the executors, and that he was in fact then living on borrowed money, while on the other hand it would be clearly proved lie was in possession of many thousand pounds. From cir cumstances th4t had come to the knowledge of the executors, their suspicions were aroused that he had appropriated money belonging to the Marquis to his own use. Inquiry was instituted ; papers were found in the possession of the prisoner relating to certain French securities, which it was supposed belonged to the late Marquis ; they led to further inquiry, the result of which showed that the late Marquis had been possessed of French securities amounting to upwards of 130,0001. and that of those securities only about 30,0001. was forthcoming. The inquiry was then prosecuted further, and in the result the executors felt satisfied that the prisoner at the bar had possessed himself of this immense amount, and being thus con vinced, they had instituted the present prosecution. He would now state the evidence it was intended to bring before the Jury in order to bring horn? the charge to the prisoner ; from that evidence it would appear that the Marquis of Hertford made various purchases in the French funds in the years 1836, 1837, and 1838, that during that time he made purchases to the extent of 130,0001., and that those purchases consisted of Inscriptions of Rentes, or An nuities, and, as he had said before, of those immense purchases only about 30,0001. was forthcoming. It was the habit of the late Marquis, who was a man of immense fortune, and who, notwithstanding the splen dour in which he lived, was enabled to make these large purchases in the French funds, when he wanted money, to cut off one of the coupons from the inscriptions from time to time, and send them to his bankers, either in London or Paris, wherever he might be, who cashed them for him, and placed them to his credit. Being in possession of this large amount of French stock, the late Marquis returned to Eng land in 1841, the last time he had received money on these coupons _ being at, Paris in September of that year. Upon the death of the Marquis, only 30,0001. of the large amount he had adverted to could be discovered, that amount was placed in the hand of Messrs. Coutts and Co., and the executors now charged the prisoner with appropriating the remain der to his own use. The Learned Counsel then pro ceeded to give an outline of the evidence he should bring forward, and concluded by expressing his con fident opinion that upon that evidence the Jury would think themselves justified in convicting the prisoner ; but at the same time observing that if on that evidence they entertained any doubt as to the guilt of the pri soner, they were bound to give him the benefit of it. The Learned Gentleman having finished his address called the following witnesses : Mr. Charles Mallet examined by Mr. BODKIN—I am a banker in Paris. I transacted business for the late Marquis of Hertford. In October, 1836, I pur chased certain certificates payable to bearer for him. Mr. TIIESIGER — Did you yourself purchase them ? Witness—l did not. Examination by Mr. BODKIN resumed—The certi ficates were delivered to the Marquis of Hertford by a person of the same name as myself, who is not here. In January, 1837, there were purchased by our firm for the Marquis, four certificates of 1,000 francs each. I did not deliver them to him myself. In April, 1838, 10,000 francs worth more were bought. I did not deliver them myself. In May, 1838, there were 10,000 francs worth more purchased. I delivered them myself and received a receipt from the Marquis, which I now produce ; the numbers are from 1,711 to 15, and from 1,789 to 93. The certifi cates are for I,ooof. each. In October, 1838, there was a further purchase of certificates, Nos. 1,828 to 1,833, 1,866 to 1,870, and 1,920 to 1,924, all of 1,000 f. each. They were all delivered by me to the Marquis on the 3d of April, 1839. There were some similar certificates purchased in the Three per Cents. In August, 1836, there were four certificates purchased ; I did not deliver them. In June, 1838, there were seven certificates purchased, and delivered by me to the Marquis ; they were numbered from 1,663 to C 5 for 1,000 f., and 1,791 to 94 for 500 f. each. I was in the habit of receiving coupons from the Marquis, to place to the credit of his account, but I have no means here of telling what the numbers were. Two of these securities, of the same number and date, are never issued. A person holding a certificate would be entitled, on producing it, to have it changed to an inscription, but he must produce all the coupons that were not then due. The coupons are for payment of dividends. Mr. C. E. Pasteur examined by Mr. KELLY—I am a banker at Milan, of the firm of Pasteur, Girod, and Co. We were instructed to purchase French certifi cates for the late Lord Hertford. Some were pur r chased in February, 1839, in Paris. I received them personally, and delivered them to the Marquis of Hertford ; the numbers were 335, 336, 433, 438, 337, 338, 340, 341, 441. The others were delivered in Paris. There were some for 5,000 f. and sonic for
