THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 12, 1856 POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 11. RUSSIAN RAILWAYS. (From. the Times.) So the Russian Railway scheme does not go down with Europe. England won't touch it, and even France is forced to drop it. There must he either some very awkward circumstance about the affair o r an unaccountable degree of prejudice for nothing can be more inviting than the proposal itself to the raw British understanding. Think of the conces sion of 2,500 miles of railway through a great and flourishing empire, for a considerable term of years, at an estimate which has the proof of ex perience, with the advantage of cheap land, cheap labour—everything, in fact, dirt cheap. Why don't people flock to it 7 What are the small shop keepers and the country clergy about? Where are the widows and half-pay officers, the surgeons, and gentlemen's butlers, the gambling countesses, and speculative baronets ? This ought to be another South Sea Company, another Mississippi plantation scheme. We feel positively ashamed of our country, and even of France, our usually courageous and speculative ally. The scrip ought to be now at 5 per cent. premium. For the nucleus of 40,000,0001. there ought to be a nebulous tail ofseme 100,000,0001. paper scrip. The cry should be, " Still they come ;" still more colonels, still more unprotected females, still more fathers of families possessed with the very natural desire to become rich at - once, and to " heap hot coals" on the head of a fallen enemy. But no ; an ominous silence is all the reply to a man who asks us to make the trunk lines of a great empire on very fair terms. We subscribe our half or quarter million readily to make a railway from one little town to another town still less, through twenty miles of barren sand in the face of two or three rivals. We run a line from a decayed town to an unapproachable coast, and back again. We do it when we know we shall- lose the money and shall live to want it. But w© have not a farthing for the Emperor of All the Russias. In vain do war and peace alternately unfold to us the boundless natural resources, the immense arsenals, populous capitals, and enterprising genius of the empire. So narrow-minded, so home-sick is our spirit, that we would rather make a railway from our dear little market town—at least what was a market town in the reigns of the Edwards, though it has three railways already—to almost anywhere else, though we don't mean to go there, than in vest a sixpence in a line from Moscow to Odessa. That is the fact, and why is it. We will try to answer the question. _ _ _ The main cause of this unusual hesitation is a gloomy mis g iving that we shall not have fair play. It seems odd to talk of fair play in the matter of railways, where there has been so much foul play hitherto. But people always hope they will be a match for foul play of the ordinary sort, on their Own level, and when perhaps there is a wide debatable ground of play that is neither quite fair nor quite foul. What if a man should be sharp enough to get an inkling of foul play, and share its gains, or at least be aware of its frauds ? All rail ways are exposed to the tricks of the market. That cannot be helped. No doubt there is a very clever, and indeed very useful class of men, who can run shares up and down with marvellous dexterity,and who are usually found to sell in a dear market and buy in a cheap one ; whereas the fond public is per tinaceously addicted to the contrary practice. We tolerate this. It is fair play, for it is a man's own fault if he is not wide awake. We tok rate enor moe•: Parliamentary expenses. It is only fair play between company and company. We tolerate a ruinous price for land. That is fair play, for every man may fairly get his price for his own property. We tolerate jobbing directors. It, is the share holder who elects them. We have tolerated loans to new States founded. yesterday iu unknown conti nents.. That was more than fair play ; it was a noble game. What have we not tolerated, so long as it was only "diamond cut diamond ?" But in this instance people were asked to put their heads into a bear's mouth. There was no kind of equality. We were to subscribe the forty millions and make the 2,500 miles of railway for a man who held in his own hand all the conditions of the enterprise, and could hind or loose them at discretion. No body can say how labour may be affected by the laws of serfdom, by the rules of military prescrip• tion and service, or by a mere Imperial ukase, in political. emergencies. No one can estimate the difficulties anal the expense peculiar to a system of underpaid and consequently corrupt functionaries, whose immense powers of obstruction must be. got over with money. Doubtless the Emperor, if he wished, could make everything straight for the railway contractors, and most probably he would wish, nothing hindering • but what if something should hinder, or he should not wish ? There is a terrible feeling of insecurity in dealing with one who is 'so entirely the arbiter of our fate. Few Englishmen would endure to act with a man of whom they could not even complain, and whose superiority deprived them not only of reason, but . even of a tongue. Take, for example, that ruling condition of rail way enterprise—the price of iron, to which the "Hertfordshire Incumbent" calls our attention. We all know how at home directors have made fortunes and shareholders have been ruined by the ups and downs of this one article. Russia has but little iron of her own ; she has no such demand as to have developed the production of it, and she absolutely prohibits sea-borne iron. here is some thing approaching.to a jest in such a country invit ing strangers to make her iron railways. Pharaoh refused to find straw for the making of bricks, but he did not absolut e ly d e b ar th e unfortunate brick makers• from getting it where they could. The speculators, if any ca* be found, who undertake these railways will have to lay down rails at Mos cow itself with bar iron at 221. Indeed iron is so scarce that throughout the greater part of Russia the farm horses go unshed, the cart wheels have no tires, and the plo ug h s h are i s o f woo d , j ust pointed with iron. The demand for the proposed railways would add a tenth to the present con sumption, and Russia is not a country like ours, full of coal, practical miners, and machinery for all purposes, where the supply of iron can at any time in a few years be brought up to the demand. Unless the contractors could supply themselves with iron from this country they would soon find themselves ruined, and obliged to leave the un finished work in the hands of their taskmaster. It would not he easy to allow them to import their own iron for their own purposes without throwing open the trade altogether. They would want the iron in many different forms, and in all parts of the empire at once, not only fir the permanent rails, but also for temporary rails, for tarts, bar rows, and tools, NO special right of importation would answer so extensive and multifarious a want. Yet we hear not a word about revising the tariff, and we know, by our own experience at home, that financial reform is not to be done in a day. There are iron lords in Russia as there are here, and some of them are the richest and most powerful men in the empire- Not even an Empe ror can blow away in a moment th e artificial fabr' on which huge fortunes, nobl f etitles, and pectrdta;y e settlements of all kindscaarredinoaulnded. No pledge is even offered on this whe question, and per haps none will be accepted, e n v e e x u t ne Czar, ce and perhaps this, may be induced', she d e sitated, to break it. Indeed, Russia is in the case of a man whose theory pf social intercourse is simply.to us e hi s ne ighbours—that is, to use the/11f; for 11:1,1tsioonw, n toan con venience. To one be goes forc° 0r infer loan,en ot t her for his other for occasional mouser-eel:A in , nt vote and interest, to anoe_ aer f or for advice, to another for his connteno another difficulty, and, the 'purpose once _ anee in a answered, he neglects all the dut;.ee of society till the retur n of a similar occasion. Russia has usually aothieo. to say to us all, and, d la , she not hesit a t e to tell , ' she would prefer oe , r room to our co m p. e anywhere. Just now, ha we,ver, she wants money, and she wants rail wtays ; so she puts on her civil lock s , acts the good neighbour, and asks Its just to he so g0, ) ,1 as to help ber. But this is not so easy. There are difficaltiee in the way, and. those of Russia's own making, She has created a class interested in the prohibition of sea-borne iron, and doubt less, also many arrangements depending on the prosperity of that class. Ie feet, we are constitu ted for society in its large, constant and generous sense, not for fits and starts of in 1i tual convenience. International intercourse ought not to be a series of great exceptional transaceions in matters of a situpls, material character.

The Imaumat of Muscat, situated at the en- I trance of the Persian Gulf, extends for about 300 miles along the coast, on the Arabian side, and nearly as many miles inland. The Imaum has long been on friendly terms with the British Go vernment and the East India Company, and has experienced the advantage of that friendship in the assistance which has enabled him to form a navy nearly equal to that of a second-rate Euro pean power, and disciplined by British officers, who occupy the principal commands in the ser vice. The navy of the Imaum commands the whole trade of the Persian Gulf, while his merchant vessels are—some of them—the finest that are to be met with in the Indian Seas. An old enemy of the Persians, the present expedition m a y so f ar favour his own political objects as to meet with his hearty approval on the questi on o f prin ciple. The aid which he may afford to the British expedition is of a very important kind. The city of Muscat and its neighbourhood abound with provisions of every description, from whence the expedition may amply replenish the supplies of its commissariat. There are other important ser vices which this Oriental patriarch will, no doubt, be able and willing to render to the cause. But, as announced, the proposed scene of mili tary operations is far removed from the city of Muscat and its resources, and the friendly co operation ofits liberal-minded inhabitants. The expedition, it appears, proposes to attack Bushire —a commercial town situated several hundred miles up the G u lf, an d access ibl e on ly by p er ilous navigation. We confess that in the present state of our information we are more inclined to despair than hope for any great success from the opera tions of the expedition. A Government journal in indicating the probable operations, mentions some of the difficulties which may be encountered, but conceals the inevitable dange s. We were glad to hear for the first time that our Indian officers are possessed of such accurate charts of the navigation, and hope the Admiralty may, without loss of time, supply copies for the benefit of the merchant service. , But our contemporary omitted to state that the town of Bushire is only accessible to small boats, vessels of 300 tons being unable to approach nearer than six miles to the town ; that numerous sand banks interrupt the navigation, which is otherwise most dangerous, from the prevalence of furious north-west and south-west winds ; that the climate at certain seasons is fatal to European constitu tions, and that the water, which is bad, must be carried in goat-skins a distance of sixteen miles. The British expedition can at least cut off the commerce maintained by Persia with the ports of India and China, but is that commerce of such magnitude that its destruction would be felt as alchastisement by the Shah ? And if the semi-bar barous monarch cannot be brought to surrender by this process, what are the next possible military arrangements of the British Government for the vindication of its honour and dignity ?—Advertiser. THE QUESTION CF THE DAY. (Prom the Siecle.) Although this question has lost much of its im portance in consequence of the conciliatory declara tion in the Aloniteur, we must address a last word to our adversaries. There is an'old aphorism, that to understand people aright you must fancy your self in their position. We shall briefly describe the position which our opponents weuld impose upon England. Let it he supposed that we (Fleece) had remained in tho Crimea and the Black Sea, and that Russia did not execute the treaty of Paris. Would we consent to del•sgate the execution of that treaty to a congress ? Would we consent to raise our camps and withdraw our vessels ? Would there be found a single public journal that would dare to advocate such weakness, such an abandon ment of all prudence and all dignity ? Assuredly not. Everybody in France would say with one consent, " We are in the Black Sea, let us remain there till the treaty is executed. Let us not run the risk of having to undertake a ne w ex p e diti on ." But because it is England, and not ourselves, that is in this position, can we ask her to do what we would "Lot do if we were in her place ? That is neither just nor reasonable, and we feel persuaded that after the first surprise, after having better ' considered the question, those who have taken the warmest part against England will not persist in condemning her to pass under the yoke of a Euro pean judgment, when she is only acting within the letter of the treaties. For the rest, the very mode rate way in which the 'Meniteur in a few words explains the nature of the difference will doubtless have more influence in calming our contemporaries tbazi the remonstrance which we addressed to them the day before yesterday. In order to excite public opinion against our allies of Inkcrman and Sebastopol, the partisans of the Russian alliance confound two moral situa tions essentially different. They assimilate Eng land to Austria. In the first place, the intimate alliance between England and Austria, which is held up as a fact in order to throw odium upon the English Government, can only be believed in by those who forget everything when influenced by their passions. There is no serious politician in Europe who does not know the terrible war which , Lord Palmerston bas waged against Aust r ia, an d the steady reprisals made by Austrian diplomatists. Celebrated books have been written before this hand-to-hand duel, and this is all we need say to those woo circulate the rumour of an alliance be tween. Lord Palmerston and the Government whose publicist was the Count de Fiquelmont. In the next place, the moral situation of England and Austria in the East is not ti,e same. Austria is not in the Black Sea. Austria did not fight. She does not occupy the principalities by virtue of a victory, but in pursuance of a private treaty be tween her and the Porte, made prior to the treaty of Paris ; the treaty of Paris merely fixed the period for her evacuation of these territories, in vague terms, aussitot Clue faire se pourra (Art. 31), and added that the period was to be arranged be tween he r an d t h e P o r te. E ng l an d , on t h e con trary, occupies no territory. She had ships in the Black Sea when Sebastopol was taken ; she keeps them there ; and, unless the Porte formally calls upon her to withdraw them, she is perfectly justi fied in leaving them there as long as she fears for Turkey. This consideration reminds us to supply an omis sion made by many of those writers who have pro • nouuced against England, and who are now called I to moderation by the Moniteur in the person of Ii the Coastitutionne/. They completely forget that after the treaty of Paris there was another treaty r c?'tied the treaty of guarantee. Now, this treaty, concluded on April 15, stipulates :—" Art 1. The I.high contracting parties jointly and separately guarantee the independence and integrity of the Ottoman empire laid down in the treaty concluded at Paris on the 30th of March, 1856. Art. 2. Any infraction of the stipulations of the treaty will ' be considered by the undersigned Powers as a casus beili. They will come to an understanding with the Sublime Porte as to the measures which may have become necessary, and will without delay arange between themselves the employment to he made of naval and military forces." Had our ad versaries read the first article of the Treaty of Paris they would have seen that it is not a question of a new congress. Each Power guarantees the integ rity of the Ottoman empire, not only join* with the other Powers, but also separately. This is clearly expressed. Moreover, the word "sepa rately' involves each Power to the extent of its guarantee. England has not only guaranteed that integrity in concert with France and Austria, it I has likewise guaranteed it alone, and France an d Austria are in the same position. England does not require our consent to remain in the Black Sea. nor Should we require hers in order to protect this Ottoman empire from any alliance danger that might arise. . have We repeat th a t th e partisans of the Russian conduct obscure. N o t • purposely rendered this question only have they sought to cast odium the French on the of the rightsof England, but they have caused press to loco'' ' vieiv the exact notion ' from . . They conferred. on France by treaties. the truth, it have misled the public.

Nevertheless, we reason . with moderation, and we appeal to the common ' sense of the public. Let those journals which abuse us enter into a more minute study of the question 1 they will discover their error " We maintain whet we haete said ,•• t.' se cret intentions of the eltra_ reTec.ing the Co nservatives cf Europe, and on the necessity of the firmest alliance between France and England—a genuine allianc-, in which each Power will preserve its liberty of action and sovereign independence. The boldness of the reactionists rcnder A this alliance more than ever necessary. Since tie peace we have witnessed the attempt at Neuchatel, the circular of P r i nce Csortscha,koff, the resistance , of the King of N ap l es, the Royalist revolution in Sp fin. These events v,bould teach us prudence, for either they have no signification or they are the forerunners of . .other's.the The intimate union on a footing of equality of two great Western clarions can, alone avert the danger. . MANSION-HOUSE.—EIIen Reynolds and Sarah Hazeltine, very respectably-attired women, were brougl.t before Mr. A lderwan Salomons for further examination upon the charge of having picked the pocket of Mrs. Clifford, a la •y res ding at Hoxton, of her portmanteau, containing 17s. 6d. in silver, on the sth inst. It will be recollected that at the last examination the prosecutrix said that on the day in question she entered one of the Wellington omnibuses, and was immediately followed by the two prisoners, Hazeltine sitting next to, and Reynolds opposite her. During the journey one of the horses fell, and while the prosecutrix was looking through the window and witnessing the attempts to get it up the cunduc!or observed that Hazel tine wa. pressing very closely against her. On the arri val of the omnious at Cornhill, the prisoners alighted, and the suspicions of the conductor having been arrested by the hasty manner in which they made off, coupled with what he had seen going on inside, he asked the prosecutrix whether her purse was safe, and upon her telling him that it had been stolen he ran after the pri soners and caught them just as they were entering Leadeuhall-market, and gave them into custody. They then strongly protested their innocence of the charge of robbery, and declared solemnly they had never seen each other before they accidentally met in the omnibus. They offered a most violent resistance to the officer who took them into custody, and refused to go to the station house unless permitted to ride in a cab. A cab was con• quently bade, and directly t prista era entered it the puree of the prosecutrix was found upon the ground, by the side of the vehicle. It also transpired in the course of the examination, in answer to a question put by tle magistratt, that, although the prisoners denied all know ledge of each other, yet one of them paid the fare of both. Mr. Lewis now appeared on behalf of Hazeltine. Rey nolds was not defended. The deposition taken at the last examination having been read over, the witnesses were cross-examined by Mr. Lewis, who did not succeed in at all shaking their testimony. Mr. Rawson, the beadle of Lime street Ward, said —On the sth inst., as I was going into the entrance to Leadenhall-market, I saw the policeman, Tanner, holding Reynolds round the waist. The couductor ran about 20 yards and seized Hazeltine by the ar,n, and brought her back to Tanner, who asked we to take care of her, he himself, holding Reynolds. Hazeltine said to me, " I'll go with you," and she took my arm. We then passed through the market to Cullum street. I a ked two persons whom I knew to keep a look-out, and see that the p:isoners did not tLrow anything away as we were taking them to the station-house. In Cullum street Hazeltine let go my arm and said, " I'll not go any further." She then took hold of the handle of a door of a coffee-house and attempted to get inside, but I prevented her. She ca:led out to Reynolds, "Ellen, don't go any forther." She then began to scream and kick and light, and attempted to bite me. I took her up in my arms and carried her into Fenchurch-street, when she declared she would go no further unless she bad a cab. I accordingly bailed a cab that was passing. She then threw hsraelf upon the ground and commenced screaming very violently, and it was some time before she emit! be got up. Directly after the prisoners were placed in the cab the purse was found on the ground by its side. By Mr. Lewis—A great crowd had collected when Hazeltine refused to go any further except in a cab. She did not say, "I will take your arm and go quietly ; I will not go through such a crowd as this." Reynolds—"Tuis good lady (Hazeltine) did not know my name, although she called me ' Ellen.' " Mr. Alderman SAlomonQ (to the witness)—This is a very important inquiry. You know the serious position in whch tne pritoners are placed. Are you sure that Hazeltine sail, " Ellen, don't go any further !" WimesB—l think " Ellen" was the name she called her. She called her by h er Ch r i s ti an name . - It was " Dlen," to the best of my belief ; but I will not swear positively to the name. J. W. Tanner, constable, No. 658—The conductor gave the prisoners into my custody, and I asked Mr. Rawson to assist me in taking them to the station-house. As soon as I ha,i taken Reynolds into custody she turned round and called Hazeltine a d-- Reynolds.—Oh, you false swearing man. I'm not in the habit of using coarse language. (Laughter.) When the cab was called Hazeltine disengaged her right hand from my grasp. When the prisoners were got into the cab the purse was found on the ground just under the door of it. Hazeltine was searched at the station-house, and in her reticule were found a half-sove reign, and ls. 6d. in silver, and a silver watch. Both prisoners refused to give their address. Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate, and said that Hazeltine's story was that if Reynolds picked up the purse it was without her knowledge. The prisoners, he submitted, were not sho wn t o h ave k nown each other before the day in question, and they had refused their address because they did not wish their friends to know the unfortunate situation in which they were placed. Mr. Alderman Salomons.— I consider this a very im. portant inquiry. The main facts of the case cannot be shaken—namely, that the two prisoners were engaged apparently in a common object, and whether they were really so engaged, and ought to he treated alike, must be determined by a jury. I, therefore, in the ordinary course, must ask them whether they wish to say any thing in answer to the charge. I shall treat this as a very serious offence, because, looking at the prisoner whom you (Mr. Lewis) defend, her air is quite that of a lady, and calculated to impose upon persons travelling by omnibuses. It is our bounden duty to protect as far as we can the highly respectable class of persons who travel by this useful mode of conveyance. Robberies in omnibu es have lately increaser! to a most alarming ex. ten r, and the seriou • duty devolves upon a magistrate not to treat these cases summarily, but to send them for adjudication before a superior tribunal. Toe prisoners, who, after the usual caution, said they sciould reserve their defence, were fully committed for trial. As they were leaving the dock, Mrs. E. Ashman, of No. 132, Union-street, Borougb, stepped into the witness-box, and said she had a charge to prefer against Hazeltine. She was then sworn, and said—About two m nths ago I got into a Wellington omnibus in the Borough with the intention of going to the Bank. Hazeltine upon that occasion sat opposite ens and a companion of hers, who sat by my side robbed me of my purse, COD taininglo sovereigns and 7s. My pocket was cut through and my purse was abstracted while I was giving my child the breast. Hazeltine and her com panion left the omnibus together on ita arrival at Lon don-bridge. I positively swear to .Hazeltine as being the person who Fat opposite to me. Mr. Ald. Salornons— How did youknew the prisoners were in custody ? Witness—My hustand read the account of the charge just disposed .t in the newspapers, and adv'sed me to come here. Directly I saw Hazeltine I identified her. Mr. A!d. Salornons said he did not think Mrs. Ash. man bad made out a sufficient case to justify his calling upon Hazeltine to answer it, and added, the former ap pears to me to be one of those public cases that ought to be prosecuted by the city, and therefore I shall direct the City Solicitor to prosecute. The unfortunate victims in these cases belong to the best classes of society—they are the most industriou+, and they are those who can least afford to lose their property. The prisoners were then removed from the dock. J. M`Donall, an Irish labourer, was charged with steeling 71b. of leaf tobacco under the following circum stances : Mr. Cattarns appeared in support of the prosecution. Mr C. Fowler, a tide-waiter belonging to the Cus toms, said—Th7 prisoner was employed as a lumper on board the Diana steamer, which has recently arrived from Amsterdam and is lying in Brewer's-quay. In consequence of information I received I had the prisoner searchei, and, between his skin and his clothes, from tiro soles of his feet to his neck, I found secreted 71b. of leaf tobacco, wnich I produce, and which corresponds with that I was en,„aged in removing. Mr. Alderman Salomons—What induced you, pri soner, to secrete this tobacco? Pr;soner—l took it for my own use, my Lord. (Laughter.) Mr. Alderman Salornons—Why did you put it next your skin ? ' Prisoner—To keep it warm, my Lord, It's all the better for being kept dry. (IL crdased hughter.) Mr. Alderman Saloruons—Has the prisoner been here before ? Partri 'go ( he gaoler)—No, Sir. Mr. Alderman Salomons sentenced the prisoner to six weeks' imprisonment with bard lab.•ur. Pris yonr Lordship be so obliging as to order my etr•pl .yers to pay mt. my wages for my day's work yesterday ? Mr. Alderman gllomons—No ; you have forfeited your wage., and you may think yourself lucky in not being sent for trial at the Oil Bailey. Mr. Alderman Salomons requested that the press would acknowledge the receipt of 2/. for the poor-box from " Nic. N." BOW STREET.—A younq man, named Joseph Hob son, lately in the employ of Mr_ Robert Kerr, solicitor, Chaucery-ians, was brought up on remand on several charges of embezzlement. Tne prisoner, who had been in the habit of receiving money& 4oi Mr. Kerr's account, suddenly disappeared a few days back, and subsequently a letter was received from him, acknowledging that he had appropriated variout sums of money, of which he enclosed a list, and promising repayment. Mr. Kerr, however, gave infor mation to the police, in consequence of which the pri soner was apprehended. Three cases were selected for prosecution. Mr. Elliott, of the firm of Elliott and Pierce, tors, Chancery-lane, proved the payment to prisoner of a stun of Si. 7s. 7d ; Mr. Ellis, also a solicitor, of Jewry street, a slim of 51. lOs. 4d. ; and Mr. Chamberlayne, a third solicitor, of Tottenham-cour -road, a sum of 2L. some odd shillings. None of them were paid by till 3 prisoner to Mr. Kerr. The wisoner flftred no defenc,., and Mr. Jardine c•JrnmittA him for trial on the three charg,,r. WESTMINSTER. —SERIOUS FBAIt OF DING.= About two years ago Georgina Chatten, a young, sboi my licking, married woman, was committed from the H im merainitla Police-court, for violently assaulting her b tut band, Tames Chatten, coffeehouse proprietor, 5, Midi Ile row, South, Knightsbridge, with a pair of fire tat gs. She ‘ , •43 sent for trial at the Central Criminal Cot irt, but released upon the intercession of her husband, v 'ho took her home on her promise of amendment. ;Ere many %seeks, however, had elapsed, she stabbed him w ith a larxe carvin g k n if e , and then beat him with her fist vhlle the blood was streaming from the wound she Lad 1 9r 1 ,'eteti- She was then again committed to the Cen tral Cour*:, and by the renewed interpEitiun of her 'him band, only received six months' imprisonment. A second time be took her home with no better success than before, for in *May last she was again placed at the bar of the Old Bailey, aid only then; received another sentence of six months, which e pired 'yesterday, but owing to a circumstance which had transpired she was again placed under arrest. She bad from time to time corresponded with her husband's family, and his sister having recently received the following letter, placed it in his hands : "My unfortunate career, and greatly to be feared still, is not yet at an end, for should I be left to wander the streets by him who has sworn at the altar to protect me, the wife of his bosom, and mother of his only child, I say our career is not at an end, for one or both of us shall die. I was never more serious in my life than at the present mo ment, and I hope they will hang me and not transport me." As her period of imprisonment expired yesterday morn ing, Mr. Ceatten applied to Mr. Paynter, and subse quently to Mr. Arnold, to have his wife again appre hended, and a warrant having been granted by the lat er, she was taken into custody on leaving Tuthill-fields Bridewell yesterday merninit, and brought to tf;ie *court. Mr. Chatten produced the letter, which he identified as being in his wife's handwriting. In consequence of what had previously transpired, he swore that he feared she would do him some fuither injury. Defendant entreated that she might not be sent to prison again, and observed that although the avowal was to her shame, she had committed the acts of violence with which she ha l been previously charged while under the iefluence of liquGr. Her husband knew that when 'sober she was both a good wife and mother, and she though'. he was treating her very hardly. Mr. Cua ten intimated that he bad done everything for her that kindness could suggest. On the last occa sion, after her conviction, he got a memorial to Sir G. Grey signed by al his neighbours, with a view of re ducing the period of isonment, and he bad previ ously gone to the expense of en ploying counsel to get her off. Defendant repeated that what she bad done had been under the excitement of liquor. Mr. Arnold remarked that she could not avail herself of that excuse with respect to the letter now produced, which had been writs en after some months' confinement in prlinn, where she could not have obtained liquor. She bad added to the words " one or both of us *trail die," 'I was never more serious in my life ;" which diu not look at all like violence of temper only proceeding from drunkennes.. Defendant declared she was not aware of the harm she was doing, She had not the least intention at the present moment ot injuring her husband, and it was very hard to be again sent to prison. Her health was suffering materially from her confinement. Mr. Arnold said he felt, after the repeated acts of ex treme violence she had c.nnmitted, and the little control she could exercise over her temper, it was necessary for her own safety, as well as for her husband's, to cad upon her to find sureties to keep the peace, as it might other wise end in a more serious matter. He then ordered her to find bail in 401. for her good behaviour for the next six months. In the course of the afternoon bail was put in, and an arrangement entered int for the separation of the parties. Sporting Intelligence. LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING.—TUESDAY.

The great matches on the Lapis between Thos. Kelly, of Fulham, and Richard Battle, of Norwich, are the theme of conversation am , sngst rowing men, and matters of considerable interest to those who speculate upon sect. event.. It is seldom that what are termed "home avd home" matches are made is rowing, bat this is an excep tion to the rule, it being ly considered fair, in regard to the rival pretensions of the men, to give each an op p.irtunity of contending upon his own water; and as Kelly is a son of the Thames, and Bottle a native and resident of Norwich, it was suggested and determined upon by the rival backers that one race should he rowed from Putney to Mortlake, and the other from g• ham to Thorpe, the distance in both nearly corms p,mding, c,nsidflring the advantage of tide in the first-narol. Th *Thames match is to be rowed to•tuorrow afternoon, the start taking place at half-past two o'clock. Upon the issue of this will mainly itepend the betting on the second race, nearly a fortnight after wards, for although some men seem to attach so much advantage to a corrpetitur's own water, so much Rune ri,i rity way be dev e l o p e d by one or the other in the opening race as to r rider that a matter 4 .f very secor ! . dary con , ideratio n . s e tting on t -morrows nearly even.

The total deaths in London, which in the previous week were 969. rose to 1,006 in the week that ended last Saturday. The average number in the tsn weeks corresponding to last week of the year 1846.55, was 1,032 ; and if this number is to be compared with the deaths now returned, it must be raised in proportion to increase of population, when it will become 1,135. The comparison shows a difference of 129 in favour of the return of last week. 'The births regis'.;ered last week exceeded the deaths registered in the same time by 605. Diseases of the zymo io class numbered 238 •lea•hs ; the corrected average of corresponding weeks is 293 . In the numbers referre respectively to the dices-es that compose this class, scarlatina stands highest ; it was fatal in 56 ca-es, typhus or common fever in 49, hooping• (rough in 37, measles in 26, croup in 15, small-pox in 6. These numbers are all higher than those under the same heads in the previous week. But diarrhoea has inva• riably deCreased during the last twelve weeks, and though the deaths from it rose considerably above 200 in sum mer, they were last week only 15. Two children died in the week from small-pox in a tain,ly in Stapleton's bui!dings, Stamford-hill ; they were both unvaccinated, in consequence, as is stated, of " ptejulic , against vac cination, and two other children have caught the infec tion. Two persoes died from intemperance ; one from exposure to cold. A garden lab , urer at Fulham died at the age of 91 years ; the widow of a government clerk at 95 ; and the widow of an agricultural labourer died in ObligaTior,-row, Upper Tooting, of bronchitis, at the Age of 100 years. :Mr. Withal!, toe registrar, mentions that .‘ this centenarian was born at Sevenoaks, in Kent, in November, 1755 ; she enjoyed good health and the use if her faculties till within the last five weeks." Last week the births of 820 boys and 791 girls, in all 1,611 children, were registered in L'‘ndon. In the ten corresponding w-eks of the years 1846.55 the average number was 1,514. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.236 in. The highest reading occurred on Friday, and was 30.48 in. From the 15th ult, to the Bth of this month (the last date included in the Greenwich table) the mean regeltim of the barometer was on every day 30 in. or tn, , re The mean temperature of the week was 43.4 deg., which is 2 0 leg. below the average of the same week in 38 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean temperature on Sunday was 50 7 deg., which is 4.6 deg. above the average ; on every subsequent day it was below the aye rwe, and on Thursday it was only 37.7 deg., which is 7.5 deg. below it. The lowest temperature on the last ,nentioned day, and which was also the lowQgt in the week, was 29 deg. The mean dew-pint temperature 39.8 deg., and the difference between this and the nean air temperature was 3.6 deg. The mean tempe -Iture of the water of the Thames was 49 6 deg.

PRICE OF GOLD.—:The quotatien of gold at Paris is about 6 per mille premium, and the short exchange on London is 25.221 per 1/. sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 3/. 170. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold i• nearly 3 10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in Lon don. ' By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark, and the short exebange on London is 13 . 31 per 1/ sterling. Standard gold, at the English Mint price, is therefore r arly 6-10ths per cent. dearer in Hambur than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days sight is 1091 per cent., which, when compared. with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is slightly in favour of England ; and, after malting allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the pre sent rate leaves a small profit on the importation of get.(l from the United States.

We were sorely disappoiote d depressed by them, and said co frankly. We are o at able to assure our friends ever , where that the pr ogl Zl has greatly brightened within the last few days. our advices from teeth states are cheering. The sine ° , friends of Fillmore, though they threw Indian us at the State election, cannot afford to do It af3l; They want to get the election into the house ; at , d t ° . this they see that their State must not go for Budowiii So in Illinois ; so in Connecticut. Whoever real gress means to elect Fillmore through the agency of C 0 t e e 'lust perceive that it will not do to throw Free fe to Buchipan. Thus our late reverses are likely to Pr'?" an important element of strength in the approachl.th contest. Meantime the Fremonters are working Very desperate energy, and go , d reports come in fr , m e' quarter. In a single poll district in Chester C'° ° ,:t Pennsylvania, there are 56 Fremont voters who wer e out at the State election. Theyare coming out next vit o f arid will bring their neighbours with them.
