HILALTH OF LONDON DURING TH.S WEEK. (From the Report of the R eg istrar -General.) The rate of mortality in London is still below the ave rage rate which the inhabitants have suffered in former summers. 1,025 deaths were registered in the week that ended on Saturday, Aug. 2, while the corrected average of the week is 1,259, or, omitting the week of pre vious years when cholera was epidemic, 1,102. Of the persons who died 515 were females, 510 males ; and in previous week the deaths of females exceeded the deaths of males. Although the females living in London greatly exceed the males in number, the deaths are generally in the inverse proportion. Of 1,025 deaths 595 occurred at ages under 20 years ; 152 were of the age 20-40 ; 120 were 40-60 we re 60-80 ; and 27 were of the age of 84 years and upwards. Two old widows, one of 95, the other of 96 years, died in Hackney. Of the 152 deaths at the age of 20-40, 66 were re ferred to consumption (phthisis), 5 to diseases of the re spiratory organs. In the aggregate 224 deaths in the week were referred to these causes. Diarrhoea is the prevailing disease of the week ; it killed 125 persons ; namely, 94 infants under a year old, 17 children of the age,l-2, and 2 of the age 2-3, and 3 of the age 5.10, 9 adults of the age of 20 and upwards; 89 of the deaths were on the north, 36 on the south side of the Thames. To cholera 16 deaths are referred ; 12 children under 5 years of age died of this disease, the rest were adults. The cleansing operations in the streets and houses should proceed at the same accelerated rate as putrefac tion, in this hot weather. When diarrhoea comes on it requires immediate attention. Medical informants are requested to state in all cases the precise time that intervenes between the stage of diarrhoea and collapse in cholera cases. During the week the births of 869 boys and 870 girls, in afl 1,739 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1846 55 the ave. . age number was 1,431. The wind blew generally from the south west and south east during the week, which opened ie clouds and rain, but became bright and cloudless on Thursday, Fri d,y, and Saturday. Electricity was positive and gene iaAy of moderate tension. The barometer was 30.006 in. on an average, an I did not fluctuate to any extent. The beat was excessive for this climate ; the mean highest day temperature was 82.4 deg., the maximum was early 90 deg. (89 8 deg.) in the shade on Saturday; the mean lowest night temperature was 56.1 deg., ard the mean temperature of the week was 67.6 deg., or 5.4 deg. above the average. The highest temperature in the Pun rose progressive7y from 95.4 deg. on Sunday to 111 . 0 deg. on Saturday. The mean temperature of the Thames at Greenwich was 68.5 deg. The air was exc,s-ively dry during the sunlight of the last tbree days, and dew could only have been deposited on Thursday in the day time by a fall of 25 4 deg. of tem perature ; at nigh, the air was r.early saturated.

CANTRRBURY, Tuesday Evening.—Derlea, the murderer of Caroline and Msria Back, lies in a very precarious state in the hospi-al, at Canterbury. He has inflicted three wounds on hirnse!f. one of dram havirg extended, it is believed, to the left lun:;. The incisions are about six inches in depth, but not necessarily mortal. Bedanius apnears to be a man somewhat above the com mon level of his ceunt:ymen ; he is a Servian, and comes from Belvrade. He speaks very good,German (the Aus trian dialect), and cm also converse in Italian, having served in the Austrian ar:nv. His c mntenance is rather mild and intelligent. Dr. Rhost, a linguist at St. Au gustine's Colleve, has been to see him, but he does not appear inclined to say much at present in refer ence to the crime he has committed. He merely alludes to it in general terms, and states that "he did it out of love." During the night, when he was quite composed and sensible, one of the nurses in attendance asked bow he could have done it? Bedanius merely replied that he stabbed her, and she was dead in a minute. When asked by Dr. Rhost it he wished to make any voluntary state ment, or was desirous of communicating with his friends, he replied, " Not at present : I am too weak to speak yet." About 11 o'clock on Zilonday evening it was ex pected that he was near his death, and upon being asked if he should like to see the priest, Bedanius replied in the affirmative. The Rev. Mr. Siddens, the Romau Catholic priest of the district, was therefore sent for. Upon the arrival of the rev. gentleman the usual questions were put to the sufferer, and subsequently the rites of the Roman Catholic Church were admini-tered to him. At a later period, however, he asked for his knife, as he wished to finish himself. He is watched by a constable, in case he should make any further attempt upon his life. He has not shown any kind of delirium. The extreme penalty of the law in the case of this un happy culprit for the murder of the Hastings gaoler, Weilard, was carried into effect to-day at 12 o'clock, at the east end of the county gaol. S.:ine sympathy was manifested in the public mind on his behalf, anii the rg eommendation of the jury for mercy on the ground that they did net believe it was the culprit's intention to com mit murder, but merely to incapaci ate the gaoler from making any resistance to his escape from custody, met with general approval. All attempts, however, to arrest the judgment of death proved fruitless. Since the culprit's condemnation, on July 16, his de meanour in prison has been in every way befitting his awful position, and the spiritual efforts of the chaplain, the Rev. R. Burnett, have had apparently the effect of producing a repentant feeling in the culprit's mind. At times he exhibited signs of intense grief, and in reference to the murder, although he admitted the deed, he has always qualified it by saying he had no intention to take the old man's life. On Saturday last his mother and stepfather visited him, and the meeting and separation was a painful scene. At the hour appointed for the execution, 12 o'clock, there were not more than from 1,500 to 2,000 persons present to witness it. The unhappy man walked with a firm step across the prison yard, and ascended the scaf fold without assistance. He took a slight glance at the people, but made no attempt to speak. On being Waced in proper position, Calcraft put on the white cap, ad justed the rope, and then withdrew the bolt, and the wretched criminal appeared to die almost without a struggle. The crowd was very orderly, bat some few gave expression to their ft:elings by exclaiming "Shame" and " Murder." It is said that Murdock has written a letter to the son of the deceased gaoler, expressing his contrition for depriving his father of life. Oa Fri•lay last an icquest was held by Mr. w. Carter, Coroner f or Last Surrey, on the bod y of Mr. John William Adam s, a traveller in the emplo y of Mr. Fleet, soda-water men ufocturer, at Walworth ; and the evidence tended to chow that the death was caused by his having been stroek under the ear by Frederick Fisher, also in the same establishinect. A verdict of manslaugh ter was returned against Fisher, who was in the court at the time, but when his name was called by the coroner was found that he bad su,idenly disappeared. The warrant for his committal to Newgate was p laced in the bands .of Thomas Cooke, the coroner's of cer, for execu - Mon. The funeral of the unfortunate deceased took place on Monde and on account of some inform ation be bad received, y i t he officer proceeded to North-stree t , East-lane, her e h and on onenin •mourning coaches were in waiting , Cooke Bras about t t h door of one of them he saw Fisher. so earnestly, arrest the accused, but be begged Y. end with the . . a „ et, the urea ,eet pertinacity, to be , church yard, tnhai7 theatt• odcficer cfonsented, at Old Deptford.cburah oh7sseet.ed, but also gut into the coach and accompanied baying previously to etartiripe, real the warrant aver bhp. After the funeral ceremony, at the officer ' ' v ., " cloak an d Fisher imme d band, ent ere d a t c l a ie b te w ly b c o h ok iv o a ff s t w h a e it n i izrn a i n ng d s conveyed to Horse monger-lane Gaol. The proceedings connected with the arrest were carried out in such a manner that not the s li g htest disturbance took place, and it is but j us t to add that Fisher was deep l y affected and evidently felt most acutely the position in which he was placed, the deceased and himself basing known eacb. ether for several years. On the day prresling the funeral Fisher called at the residence of Gooke to give himself up, but that officer was not at home. The assizes at Guildford are now pending, and the prisoner will be tried there. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—WELLs, AUG. 4. WIFE MURDER. James Ford was indicted for the wilful murder of his wife, Sarah Ford, at Publow, on the 30th ult. Mr. Prideaux appeared for the prosecution ; the pri soner was undefended. The prisoner and his wife were labouring people, re siding at Publow, in this county and the deceased woman had for some years worked for Mr. Daniel Charles Wait, a farmer. On the 30th of July Mr. Wait was married, and he gave an entertainment to his workpeople on the occasion. Among the persons invited was the wife of the prisoner. From some reason or other, in which jealousy appeared to have a share, the prisoner was annoyed at his wife's going, and used several threaten ing expressions respecting her. He went to the King's *rine public-house and drank to a considerable extent. One of the deceased's sisters seeing the state of excite ment the prisoner was in, sent for his wife to come and pacify him. She came accordingly, and endeavoured to persuade ber husband to go home. He refused, and struck her two violent blows. The woman got away from him and went into the tap room. No other persons were present, but the landlady heard some violent talking, followed by two heavy blow, and the moment she got into the room she saw the deceased lying dead upon the flo .r with her head under the table, which was hooped with iron. The prisoner who was somewhat sobered by the event, being remonstrated with by some of the neigh bours, and asked how he could use his wife in such a manner, said he would serve the whole lot the same, and previously to that he had used expressions of ill-sill towards his wife. Mr. Collins, of Chew Magna, and Mr. R. Crisp, house surgeon of the Bristol Infirmary, made a careful post mortem examination of the body, and hau no doubt whatever that death was caused by concussion of the brain, resulting from a blow, which had driven the woman's head against some substance like the table which was in the room where the occurrence took place. These facts having been proved by various witnesse., the learned judge expressed his opinion that the case did not amount to murder, and the jury almost immediately found a verdict of manslaughter. His lordship, in passing sentence, said that if a case of wife murder had been established he would certainly have passed the extreme sentence of the law, which in all pro bability would have been carried into effect. As it was he should inflict the heaviest penalty, viz., transports• tion for life. DEFERRED SENTENCES. George Gibbs and Benj•smin Greedy, for burglary, ten years' penal servitude : George Bailey and John Berry, for burglary, six years' penal servitude ; Henry Bray and Frederick Emery, for passing bad money, twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour ; George Jones, for pass ing bad money, eight months' imprisonment with bar', labour. Nist Pasts COURT.—(B. f ire Mr. Sergeant Cl.annell.) BASKERVILLE V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY co. Mr. M. Smith, Q C., and Mr. Edwards fur the plain ff ; Mr. Butt, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Kinglake, and Mr. Stone for the defendants. This was an action for compensation for dismissal from the performance of a contract, and was one of many si collar cases arising out of the mania for railway exten sion in 1847-8. At that period the Great Western throw out a line in competition with the Central line. It waq promoted by as independent company, who got a bit for what is known as the Wiltf , , Somerset, and Wey mouth line, who, after entering into contracts and coo,- mencing the undertaking, at length abandoned it to the Great We-tern. The present plaintiffs were contractots for a portion of the line called the Ansford contract, and sued the defendants as representatives of the Wilts. Somerset, and Weyluonth Company. The works, whic. have been long in abeyance, are now beqig revived, and the plaintiffs are desirous of carrying out the contract, but the Great Western Company are completing thr works by other partieQ. The case h ecarcely been opened when it was agreed • hat it shou!d 6e referred, and that the opinion of the Court of Qieen's Bench should be taken on the issues raised. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—GLoucEsTEu, AEG. 5. CitowN . COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice Wighttnao.) CHARGES OF EMBEZZLEMENT AGAINST A i3ANIZ MANAGER AT TEWKESBURY. Theodore Evans was arraigned on several charges o larceny and embezzlement all7ged against him while act. hig as manatzer of the Twekesnury branch of the Glon cLstershire Banking Company. The case excited a grew d e al of intere , t on aeccunt of the extent of the allege( defalcations, and the highly respectable position which tto prisoner had occupied up to the time of making the charge. He had been hailed out, but on the case being c4lled on he surrendered, and took his place in the dock with other prisoners. Mr. Huddleston and Mr. Cripps conducted the prte , ecutt ,, n, aed Mr. Ski. ner defended the piisoner, 7he trial occupied three hours On Mon when the priemier as indicted for stealing sums co 1,0001., 5001., and 2501 , the moneys of the b ►nk. The following is a summary of the facts : The prisoner was manager of the Tewkesbury Branch Bank from Sept., 1849, to April last, when, at the re filest of thedirectors, he resigned. His successor, pleby, on going through the accounts, found several dig• crepancies, and a df,fieioney of 3,2501 was apparent off the a‘sets. On the day when he mado the discover) (July 2 last), the prisoner told Mr. Appleby that he had lent sums of money amounting to 1,7501. to certain par ties, without making entries in the bank notes of the transaction. viz, 1,0001. to Mr. H. Brown, M.P. ; 5001. to a Mr. Waller; and 2501. to Mr. J. Nind, and he pro duced two cheques of 5001. each to pay Mr. Brown's 1,0001., and told Appleby to plans the 7501. lent to Allen and Nind to his account. He refused, however, to account for the remaining 1,5001. The way in which he had been enabled to make these advances without the knowledge of the Bank was this : when the quar terly balances were made up he directed a clerk named Chadborn, by whom the work of taking out each cus tomer's credit balance was done to make up the defi ciency by stating the balance due to different customers I at sums from 5001. to 2501. less than the actual amount Thus, at the Michaelmas balancing in 1355 he told the clerk Chadborn that there was 1,750/. deficient, and be was to take it out of such balanc,s as would bear it. Chadborn accordingly, in making out the balances on that quarter, stated the balan.43 due to Mr. T. Smith at 789/. 9.3. 2d instead of 1,281/. 9. 2d. (the actual balance then due to Mr. Smith) Mr. %V. Smith's balance was set down at 1,0311. 133. ld., instead of 1,5311. 13s. id. ; Mr. Strickland's balance at 4421. 2s. 10d., instead of 6921. 23. 10d., and Mr. Tombs' balance at 2,5761. 16 , . 61., instead of 3,0761. 164. Id. These four balances showed an aggregate of 1,7501. less than the actual amount due to the cuvtlenerg. This plan was repeated a t the December balancing, tae deficiency being further in creased, and so again at the Lady-day balancing. There was also a false statement of 5001. as to the amount of stock notes in hand. To prove these and collateral facts the following wit nesses were examined : Mr. N. Hartland, managing director of the bank, who proved that the prisoner had no authorfty to lend money of the bank without having the transaction recorded if, the book, and that he had never told him (Mr. Hartland) of any advance made to Mr. Brown, Mr. Allen, or Mi. Nincl. He went through the quarterly balar nee with the prisoner, and they appeared correct at Michaelmas, Christmas, and Lady day. The prisoner's salary com menced at 250/ , and was increased to 4001. He bad for bidden him making advances without due precaution. Evans held ten shares in the bank. _ Mr. Appleby, Evans's successor, proved the di• covery of the deficiency, as mentioned above, and the circum stances attending the interview of the 2d July. Mr Brown's cheques are dated April, 1855. WitneFe received them in July, 1856. Evans said he had lent the money secretly, as he did not wish Mr. Hartland to know any thing about it. Mr. Chadborn gave in detail the instruction of Evans as to the mode of " cooking" the quarterly balance. On remonstrating with him, he said he alone was responsible. At the close of the examination and cross-examination of the witnesses, his lordship said he thought there was not sufficient evidence of the prisoner's intention to com mit a felony, for the bank appeared to hold him respon sible for the money, and he told the jury they must find a verdict of not guilty. The jury, accordingly, returned a verdict of not guilty upon the charge of f-lony. Mr. Huddleston then said there were other charges against the prisoner of stealing the 2501. advanced to Mr. Nind, which had been repaid by that party with interest, but which bad never been credited in the bank book. It was therefore arranged that this case should be gone into before a fresh jury to-day, the prisoner's bail being enlarged in the meantime. On the case being called on again this morning, Mr. Huddleston, addressing the court, said the bank had considered the view which his lordship had taken on the previous day that the case did not come within the criminal category, and that they considered the charge of embezzlement would rest upon the same grounds as that of felony, of which the prisoner had been acquitted. Mr. Jastice Wightman said it appeared the prisoner was at liberty, as it were, to help himself to the moneys of the bank. He was not a clerk, but the manager. Mr. Skinner said there bad no doubt been some irre gularities, but nothing more. Mr. Huddleston added that no doubt the bank would have approved of the advance of Mr. Nind, bad it been mentioned to Mr. Hartland. The hank would treat this as an irreenlarity and not as a fraud, and he should therefore offer no evidence upon it. His lordship remarked on the difficulty of tryiug a per son for embezzling his own property. The accused was a ehareholder in th e b an k . The accused then left the court with his friends. CHARGE OF MURDER. William Hoskins was charged with the wilful murder o f J os eph Beitherall, at Redborongh, on the Bth June. Another indictment charged him with the manslaughter. The fncts were these : Oa the morning of Sunday, June 9, the police of Strout: found in the road at Rodborough the dead body of the deceased, which had been tracked a distance of 200 yards by blood, as if flowing from a watering pot. On the preview night prisoner and deceased bad been seen di inking and quarrelling together at a public-house, and it appears that about midnight they proceeded along the road together, and were not seen after. Next morning P risoner was observed to have a black eye, and blood on his clothes. When apprehended on the charge, he said the deceased had attacked him, that they fought on the road and went along the road together, quarrelled again, and that the deceased, returning once mere to the attack, he (prisoner) " drew his knife and put into him?' Seve ral frightful stabs were found in the deceased's abdomen. He was found guilty of the mans!atzghter. Fifteen years' transportation. THE SUN, LON DON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1656 MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. -Aug. 5. Hamilton-terrace, St. John's Wood, was summoned before Mr. Corrie, by George Mather Andrews, badge 2,588, for refusing to pay him the sum of ls. justly due to him for hire of his carriage. The cabman, who was very respectably attired, and who gave his evidence in a very fair and impartial man ner, said that on the 31st of last month he was called, and took up the defendant at No. 7, Hamilton-terrace, St. John's Wood, and drove him to No. 11, Highbnry place, Islington. When he arrived there, the defendant tendered him 25,, but the distance being six miles, he said that would not do for him. He gave him his ticket, and not wanting to trouble him, he called twice for the money, which on each occasion was refused. Finding that the gentleman would not pay him, he was compelled to come to tnis court and take out a summons. He was agreeable to have the distance measured. The defendant said that he offered the cabman 2s. When he refused the payment of the 25., the cabman called after him that 2s: was not enough. Mr. Corrie said that he considered that the distance was correct, as the defendant would not have the ground measured, and as the cabman had called twice for his money, he would have his costs. Ho should order him to pay the ls. fare, 2s. costs, and 3s. for the man's day's work. The defendant asked for a summons for abusive lan guage, which was at once granted, against the complain ant. The offence proved was that he said that 2s. was not enough for a 3s. fare. Mr. Corrie fined the cabman 25., which was at once paid, the cabman at the time skying it was not justice. thirteen large joints of beef, each joint having from four to fix ribs in them. I took some of the meat out of the sack, and found it very green and offensive to the smell.', There were also some bones and pieces lying about in a similar condition. I further discovered upwards of 50lbe. of sausage-meat made up for use, which I have no doubt was a portion of the same meat. This I could not say was as had as the other, as it was so highly seasoned with spices dec. The sausage machine was in a filthy state, and the whole of the premises were in a dirty cendition. I caged in Dr. Godricb, the medical officer of health, and he at once gave an opinion that the meat was unfit fur food. I then seized the meat, and with the as-istance of Pummere, the beadle, I buried it at Wormholt Scrubby. I seized about 150Ibs. altogether. It consisted of 16 large joints of beef and some small pieces. The defendant was not at home, but his wife informed me that the meat was not so bad, and they were going to make polonies of it. (Sensation.) Mr. Francis Godrich, the medical officer of health, said that the meat was quite unfit for human food. The efflavium from the meat and the premises could be ex perienced outside, although there was a garden between the path and the hoiese. The defendant, in defence, said he purchased the meat early in the morning and it was then sound. Ho brought it home in a bag outside an omnibus, and he cut a portion of it up into sausage meat. He then left home and did net return for some hours afterwards, and the meat wa+ then removed. It was impossible for them to say that he should have used the meat for sausages when he returned home. At this season of the year the meat s oo n cha' g'-d. Mr. Godrich said the vestry dill not press for any heavy penalty. The defendant was a poor man. They required that some slight punishment should be inflicted, as a caution for t e future. Mr. Dayrnan said these cases were very difficult to prove, anit when they were established be was not dis posed to be lenient. The poorer classes were quite at the mercy of these people, and it was necessary that they should be protected from buying unfit food. He thought he pas ed a most lenient sentence when he ordered the defendant to pay 41., being ss. for each piece of meat. It another case came before him of a similar description he should not bo inclined to pass so lenient a sentence as he had done on that occasion. The defendant said he had no money, and his worship allowed him a week to pay the 4/, (Before Mr. Pashley, Q.C., Assistant-Judge.) John Laws'n, a Danish sailor, was indicted for assault. ing Alfred Jansen, and wounding him with a knife. He was found guilty. The Assistant-Judge sentenced him to six months' bard labour, and in so doing remarked that these foreign seamen, who were so prone to the use of the knife when they quarreled, must be made to understand that such practices could not be endured in this country, and im pressed upon the prisoner that bad the prosecutor died from the effects of the wound he would have been tried for his life at the Old Bailey. Henry Thomas , 27, was indicted for stea l ing a watch , the properly of ohn Pope Duddridge, from his person. Ho was convicted, and having been so several times previously, The Assistant-Judge sentenced him to six years' penal servitude. Charles Webb, 23, a journeyman painter, pleaded udty to a charge of stealing a cash box, containing two 51. notes and 3/ 10s. in gold and other moneys, the pro perty, &e., of Peter Walt s, in his dwelling-house. The prosecutor was the landlord of the Crooked Billet public house, at floxton, and on the 25th of July, the prisoner, another man and a woman, went there and had some drink. The prisoner went to the back premises, pre tending that he was ill, but he slipped into the bar par lour and took the cash-box from the sideboard. The prosecutor at once missed it, and after a search the pri soner a as found " screwed" up ,behind a cask with the cash-box in his possession. The other man and the woman got away. The prisoner was recognised as hav• ing been in the House of Correction for three months for felony, and the court sentenced him to twelve mouths' WORSHIP•STREET.—Shafto Wood, described as a blacksmith, was charged with having assaulted Alice Croly, six years of age, with intent to strangle her. J•ihn Croly, the father of the child, a jobbing shoe. maker, living in Park place, Haggerstone, said—Tie prisoner during the last fortnight has occupied the hote.to next door to my residence. Yesterday afternoon my little girl returned from the National School in such a state of excitement and suffering that she could hardly stand. She appe tred completely stupefied. On asking her what was the matter, she pointed to her throat, which was greatly inflamed and discoloured, and kept on exclaiming, " Oh, the man, the man." , She at length told me that the prisoner had decoyed her into his house and carried her up stairs into his bedroom, where he stripped off her clothes and attempted to strangle her. She was unable to explain in what way she had effected her escape, but on hearing the statement I hastened to the prisoner's house, which was strongly barricaded back and front. I forced open the back door, and made my way, with several of my neighbours, to the up- stairs room, which was also locked, but we burst in the panel and found the prisoner lying on the bad. On questioning him as to what be had dove to the child, he at first made no answer, but on asking him what bad become of the rope with which he had endeavoured to strangle her, he told me that I would find it in the cupboard, on searching which I discovered the piece of cord produced, knotted in seve ral folds as it now appears, and on showing it to the prisoner he coolly observed, "That is what I did it with." The witness added that he bad previously sent for a policeman, who arrived soon afterwards, and the prisoner was given into custody. Mr. Wm. Henry Coward, the divisional surgeon of police, stated that on examining the child he had found an excoriation round her neck, which had evidently been caused by the pressure of a cord, accompanied with considerable extravasation of blood, and from the extent of the injuries she had sustained he was surprised that she had escaped suffocation. William Sparkes, a 1 r sdesman in the neighbourhood, stated that he had known the prisoner fir some years, and in common with several of his friends tie considered him to be not right in his mind. Sergeant Collins, of the N division, stated that an officer was in attendance who had prisoner in custody about three years ago for a gross act of indecent exposure. Remanded. har•l labour. Maria Allen pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a sheet and other articles, the property of Edward Byrne, and two sovereigns, the moneys of James Smith. The prisoner was a regular swindler, and had been in the habit of taking ready furnished lodgings and decamping with any available artime she could lay hands upon. She had been previously convicted, and the Assistant- Judge, after remarking that it was clear that mere im prisonment would not deter her from crime, sentenced her to four years' penal servitude. Alfred May Grey, 40, described as an agent, and who is known by a number of aliases, by one of which, Cruse, he was before this court some years ago, pleaded guilty to a charge of having fraudulently obtained a cloak and other articles, value 11/. 6d., the property of Lewis Ant abate. and for stealing a ton weight of lead, the pro p-rty of James Rhodes, the same being fixed to a certain building. The prisoner had acted in concert with a ma❑ 'leaned Stanley, who wae convicted a few sessions ago, n obtaining possession of houses, and then striping the lesd from the roofs. He had been previously convicted. The Assi,tant-Judge directed him to be brought up this (Wednesday) morning for sentence. From the London Gazette of Last Night. BOARD OF GREEN CLOTH, JULY 23.

The prosecutrix is a prostitute, and has been ac quainted with the defendant about 12 months, during which time, as she stated, he had frequently beaten and ill-used her. According to her version of the affair, the prisoner had been sitting in her room about ha'f an hour (having previously followed her Oreugh the syeets for some time) when he suddenly drew a pistol and fired it at her. He then drew another, but she ran down stair-, to her landlord, who gave the prisoner into custody. A policeman deposed that the prisoner when arrested said that if he got out of that he would serve complain ant worse. Anotherpoliceman said that he found some pebbles and nails in the fireplace of the room where the pistol had been discharged. Mae loaded pistol was found to be charged with gunpowder and pebbles. The r ? resouer said that complainant was sitting on his knee, and he asked her if he should fire one of the pis• tots off 2 She said " yes," and he fired it. He asked her if he should fire the other off, and while be was try ing to do so she ran away, and he was shortly after wards taken into custody.

Clark, a decent looking young woman, aged 25, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Boadon, under the following circumstances : Mr. J. W. Wilcocks, the proprietor of the Green Dra gon Tavern, Maddox•atreet, Regent-street, said that the prisoner was supplied with refreshments in the afternoon about 5 o'clock, at the bar, and shortly after she retired to the back part of the premises. No notice was taken of her at that time, but subsequently one of the waiters went up stairs into the coffee room, and found the bon net of a female, which he brought down to the bar, and stated that he had picked it up from the floor. The bon net was referred to the several servant, , , but the owner could not be discovered. Witness afterwards went up into his sleeping apartment, and to his great astonish ment found that the prisoner had undressed herself, and actually stowed herself away in his bed. An alarm was raised, when She was soon visited by the whole of the do mestics, but she positively refused to leave her comfoft able and downy position. A police•constable, however, was called, and she very reluctantly got up and dressed herself, when she was conveyed to the station. Mr. Beadon—What do you wean by such c induct? Prisoner (laughing)—Wny I was told to go there by a Mr. Banks—at least I believe that is his name. Department of the Accountant-General of the Navy, Admiralty, Somerset-house, Aug. 4.

The following are the shares due to an individual in the several classes : A police•constable stated that the prisoner was re spectably c innected, and lived at Stepney. She was not sound in ker mind. and was subject to fits. Mr. Bead..n—Then let her be conveyed to the work. house in Mount-street, wkere she must remain while somet , ,ing is done fur her. The prisoner was accordingly removed to the work house by a constable. Sarah, Gibbs, a young woman in the service of a dress maker, residing at Nu. 50, Conduit-street, Regent-street, was brought up on remand for attempting to destroy her illegitimate offspring. The evidence has already appeared. Mr. Beadon asked the prisoner, in the usual way, if she had anything to say in answer to the charge, when she replied, in a f►int voice, "No, I have nothing to say." The whole of the voluminous evidence was then real over to the witnesses, after which the prisoner ( sho as in a weak condition) was fully committed to Newgate for trial at the ensuing sessions of the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey. LAMBETH.—Mr. James Syme, who described him self as the chairman of the cornm ttee of management of the Norwood Provident Association, applied for a sum mons against a person in the employment of the asso ciation, to compel him to deliver up the books of accounts. The applicant banded to the magigtrate the rules of the association, signed by Mr. Tidd Pratt, the registrar of friendly societies in England. Oa looking at the first role, which stated "This association shall be denomi nated the Norwood Association, and its object shall be to provide every article of food and other necessaries usually consumed by the public at a fair and equitable rate," Mr. Elliott observed that the association was a mere trading community, and not a benefit society, and he was therefore much surprised at finding the rules verified by Mr. Tidd Pratt, such a proceeding being quite unnecessary. The applicant said that the association, whose object was to purchase cheaply the necessaries of life, and re tail them to the members and the public at the lowest profit, were anxious to obtain all the legal protection in their power,and therefore had the rules submitted to Mr. Tidd Pratt, who had certified to their being in confor mity to the law. Mr. Elliott remarked that by the 12th clause of the rules the committee were empowered to borrow money without any limit, which he considered highly objec t tionahle. Mr. Syrna said that the committee had not as yet bor.- ! rowed any money, but traded on the subscription of the members, of whom there were about 100. The person against whom lie wanted the summons had been put into the grocery department of the business about three months ago by the committee, and, in conformity with the rules of the association, he at that time obtained se curity from the Guarantee Society for 1501. The so- ciety, wishing to obtain the books kept by him of their transantions, had applied for them, but he refused to deliver them up unless the receipt from the Guarantee Society was banded to him. Mr. Elliott observed that there was an arbitration clause in the rules which took the matter out of the bands of a magistrate. Mr. Syme replied that the words of the arbitration chime were that " If any dispute shall arise between any member and the trustees, treasurer, or other officer of the society, or the committee thereof, it shall be referred to arbitration ;" but the fact was that the party against whom he applied was neither a member nor an ()Meer of the society, but merely a servant or shoprnan put into the grocery department at a weekly salary. Mr. Elliott said, that being the case, the applicant must go to the County Court, as he bad no jurisdiction in the case. E e. d.

HA.MMERSMITII.—James Bridge, a sausage and saveloy maker of No. 16, New.street, Notting Intl, appeared to answer a, summons at the instance of the Kensington vestry, charging him with having a quantity of meat which was in the course of preparation for use, totally unfit for the food of man. The defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Giles Llveitt, inspector of nuisances for Kensing ton, said—On Friday afternoon I went to the defen dant's house, and in the back parlour I found a quantity of beef, some of which was in pickle. I took some of the meat out of the tub, and found that it was quite pu trid. I saw a sack on the floor, in which there were POLICE INTELI,IOENCE.-Aug. 5. MANSION-110 USE.—Joseph Persia was charged before Sir G. Carroll wish having stolen a cash-box con taining 441., the property of his employers. Mr. James Turnhaw, cashier to the North of England Insurance Company, at No. 11, Cheapside, said—The prisoner was employed as a servant to the company, and on the 30th of July last ale•iconded from his employment without notice. Atter he was gone, I found my desk had been broken open, the key of the store room abstracted, and that room opened, and the cash-bex, which contained 441. and voucher-, gone. I have since seen the cash-bo4 in the hand-5 )1 the police, and la-t night the prisoner came to me at my re,idence, No. 10, Kin William• street, and I gave him into custody. He said nothing to ine, nor did I say anything to him. He was crying when I saw him. Yesterday a person called upon me whom I to be the prisoner's brother, and I went with him to the station-house in Bew.lene, where he gave to the iw-peetor 16/ , viz , a 51. note, and 11/. in gold. I hail described one of the sovereigns to the police, and one of those 11 was that I bad described, and formed, I believe, part of the money stolen with th• $ eb•box. A metropolitan policeman said— When I took the pri soner into custody upon Mr. Turnhamn'e charge, he was crying and sail he was sorry. As I was taking him to the station•house, he said he had spent part of the money, been robbed of part of it, and sent part of it back, and the cie,h-b:x he had thrown away. Toe prisoner aus committed for trial. Mr. Samuel Newman, a person of very respectable appearance, was brought before Sir G. Carroll. A policeman said that bet.veen 11 and 12 o'cleck that day the prisoner came to him in a very excited state and said a gentleman wanted to see him. The prisoner then broke a pane of glass in the house of the gentleman, who, however, refused to give him into custoey, when taken into the house and pointed at as the delinquent. The Prisoner then drew a pi,tel from his pocket and pre sented it at the door of the house, and witness told him that he must go to the station-house, and the prisoner, whose anger had increased, declared that if a person who was in the house were to make his appearance, the pistol should be discharzed at him, and be had another pistol for himself. At the station house the two pistols, loaded with powder and ball, and capped, were found in his possession. The prisoner said his wife and family had been ruined by the person against whom be had used the threats, and who had robbed him of 11,0001. His poor family would not have a bed tai lie on that night in consequence of the treacherous conduct of the man he alluded to. A gentleman in court said he believed there was nothing at all to be apprehended from the defendant, although at that moment he was in a very excited state. When that ebullition should pass away there would be no fear of the consequencie. Sir G. Carroll raid he roust require, as securities for the peaceable conduct of a gentleman capable of such eenduct as had been described, tern sureties of 1001. each and the defendant himself in 2001. GUILDHALL. Citas. Richards, a jlurneyman baker, out of place, was charged before Alderman Challis, on remand, with stealing a bag, containing about 6/. in silver. The complainants, Mary and Ann Sales, keep a chan dier's shop in Bridgwater-gardens. The defendant be came acquainted with them by serving them with bread about four months ago. He paid his addre-ses to Mary, and having been accepted, his visits were constant there until last Thufsday evening, when Ann went out, leav ing her sister and the prisoner together. He was sitting on the sofa, and was several times left in the room by nary, who had to attend to the shop. When the pri , -wner left he promised to return, and shortly after he was gone the bag containing all their little stock in trade was missed. Finding he did not come back as he pro mised, they made inquiry after him, and then found he had not been to his cub as he said, nor bad he slept at his lodgings on that night. On the following morning Ann Sales went to look after him in the neighbourhood at Regent's-park, and found him at his uncle's. She de sired him to go her to her siiter, and he consent?d to do so, but on the way he ran off. She raised the cry of stop tsief, and he was captured. It was then dig covered that although lie had been a long time out of a situation, and was shabbily dressed previous to Thursday evening, he was then dressed in his best clothes, which had not been visible for a long period. He had a gold ring on his finger, and 1/. 7s. 21 in his pocket. Alderman °nallie said he should not let the prisoner , scape justice, and he wou:d therefore remand him again and Have the matter placed in the hands of an experienced detective, to try and trace the money. There was not a moral doubt but that be bad stolen the money, and if he I had any conscience he would restore that which was not l oandered. His conduct had been most cruel and heartless. BOW-STREET.—Harry Broome, the eu•champion of England, and propri , -ter of the Norfolk Tavern, in the Strand, waited on Mr. Henry. fdr. Broome stated that in passing through Duke street, Lincoln's-inn fields, he saw three little children huddled toge , her on a straw mattress on the footway pavement. O❑ inquiring how they came there, he found the youngest, an infant in arms, was suffering from small pox, its face being frightfully disfigured, and the poor child, it appeared to him, was in a dangerous state. He ►earned on inquiry that the parents were out of the way —no one cluto Fay where—and the landlord bad turned the children out, and put the bed and some other articles into the street. The eldest girl (abo'it 12) told him they had been to the workhouse and were refused admission. lie hoped the magistrate had power to do something for them, as it was really fearful that a child in such a state of disease should be out in the streets. Mr. Henry would send an officer with the children to the work house to recommend their admission, and should that be refused he would give an order. Blunden, the sumaeonieg, officer, was accordingly sent with the children to the workhouse. They were at once admitted, and it was explained that there had been no actual refusal. Some out-door relief had been given, broth and other necessaries being supplied ; but the re lieving officer had ultimately stopped the supply, offer ing to receive the whole family into the house. The father and mother had rejected this proposal, and the officer declined to receive the children without them. This, however, had been done on the receipt of the ma- gistrate's message. John Callaghan, Dennis Callaghan, Catharine Calla ghan, and Mary Callaghan, four of the Irish inhabitants of Urange-court, with broken and bandaged heads, and laces so covered with blood that the features were evarcely distinguishable, w.re charged with disorderly conduct. The prisoner Mary Callaghan had, on the previous day, charged two women, named Macarthy and Stark, with assaulting her,by way of revenge for giving evidence sgelinst them in a former case. Macarthy and Stark w re fined 4/. each, and in default sentenced to a term ,if imprisonment. After the case was disposed of, Dennis C.:llashan, the husband of Mary Callaghan, when on his say home from the court, gave vent to his joy at the re sult by executing a jig round an itinerant fiddler, who was performing Irish melodies in Orange.court. This brought ups!, him the summary vengeance of a zealous Macar thy, who cut his heal open with a spade, and in a fear minutes all the Macarthys and Callaghans in Orange evert joined in the fray, which assumed the character of 3 regular faction fight. On the approach of the police I al' but the four prisoners disappeared, hut these re mained in possession of the ground, loudly challenging thsir opponents to return. The police, after much vain expestulation, restored quiet by removing the prisoners to the station. Mr. Henry, after a long and patient investigation, de cided upon discharging the prisoners, who had already suffered euough, and granted them warrants against those of the opposite faction who appeared to have been the first aggressors. The magistrate observed that he was determilied to do all in his power to put down the 1 system of intimidating and assaulting witnesses. CLERKENWELL.—Mr. Frederick Ward, of No, 7, FRIGHTFUL DRAT II AT SHEFFIELD YESTE [WAY. ---,--- Shortly before 11 o'clock yesterday morning a fright ful accident occurred at the silver-plating works of Messrs. Win. Hutton and Sons, High-street, Sheffield. The unfortunate victim of the casualty is a girl named Emma Memmott, aged 13, who was em ployed to assist in the various occupations of the works. A few moments before 11 o'clock she was engaged at a lathe making up some finished articles when a shaft which runs underneath the lathe caught her dress. Tae place where she was caught was at the coupling point, and so firm was the hold which had been taken that her efforts to disentangle herself were fruitless. She screamed aloud'to a man named Birks, at work close by, who ra❑ to her assist ance. A. strong iron bar, which had been placed in front of the lathe, had enabled her to withstand the drawing of the shaft, and Birks who took hold of her, feeling she was being dragged from his grasp, called lustily for assistance, and for the engine to be stopped. I❑ another moment, however, the poor girl was dragged from his arms, the strong iron b-►r bent, and the body literally twisted around the shaft, which was revolving at the rate of 300 times a minute. It was about a minute before the engine was stopped, and then the mangled corpse was shocking to look upon. Though it was well known that the girl was dead, yet the men who extri cated her from the shaft hurried her to the infirmary, but the attention of the surgeon was fruitless. PRIOEN OF SHARES.
