QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) I (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) LIBEL.—BAKER V. WILKINSON. This was an action brought by the High Sheriff of i Rutlandshire, against the proprietat of the Leicester Herald, for the publication of a libel. It appeared that the plaintiff was 'a great agriculturist and a feeder of stock, and that he had obtained several 'prizes for a certain fat steer which he had fed. There was afterwards an accusation brought against him that he had misrepresented the age and feeding of the steer, and in the course of the controversy, frequent allusions were made to the plaintiff's stock book. Meetings were held on the suhject, at Leices ter and Stamford. Pamphlets were published, and while the controversy was at its height, the alleged libel appeared in defendant's paper. It was in the form of a letter to the Editor, and was headed "The Cheating Sheriff of Rutland." The letter itself was dated Limpston, April 6, 1842, and purported to be written by F. Brown. It stated, that as regarded Mr. Buffer's herd book, the writer who had lived in plaintiff's service for upwards of six years, had made frequent entries in it, and that to the best of the writer's recollection that book contained something mucll more like 300 pages than only 6, as had been represented in the Times of March 30. The letter was followed by a paragraph, in which the plaintiff was denominated the mean, lying sheriff. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (with whom was Mr. IIill), for the plaintiff, stated the circumstances con nected with the controversy relating to the age, and said that the plaintiff had nnly brought this action for the purpose of vindicating his character. The clerk from the Stamp-office was called to prove the proprietorship of the paper. It appeared, however, that there was a verbal difference between the Stamp office record and the statement in the declaration as to the residence of the defendant and the place cf pub lication of the paper. Mr. KELLY objected that that variance was fatal to the action. Lord DExmAN having heard the Solicitor-General in reply, directed the cause to proceed, but stated that he would reserve the point. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL objected to the point being reserved. Lord DENMAN could not reserve it if the Solicitor-' General objected. Witnesses were then called to prove the purchase of the paper at defendant's office, who were cross-exa mined as to the meetings held about ',:the steer, but from which nothing of importance was elicited. A letter from defendant to plaintiff, dated June last, and apologising for the insertion of the libel, was then put in, and also an article in November last, in defend ant's paper, relating to the action, and stating that Sir W. Follett was retained for plaintiff, and Mr. Kelly for defendant. Tile case for the plaintiff having been concluded, Mr. KELLY, for the defendant, admitted that the verdict must go against his client, but he submitted that the smallest possible amount of damages would fully satisfy the justice of the case. He denied that the plaintiff had brought this action bona fide for the vindication of his character, because if that had been his intention he would have put wit nesses into the box, who.could have told the Jury what had occurred at the Walton and other agricul tural associations, who could have given the same in sight into the transaction. On the contrary, the plaintiff had taken advantage of one strong expression in the heading of an article in a local newspaper, in order to snap a verdict. The plaintiff himself had pub lished a pamphlet on.the subject, and what right had he to complain of another person publishing an article in a newspaper on the same subject. He submitted that nominal damages were all that the plaintiff was entitled to recover. With regard to the apologetical letter that expressed defendant's regret for the publi cation of the libel, the defendant stated that if he had been aware of plaintiff's defence at Leicester and Stamford the article would never have been published, founded, as it had been, entirely on the report of the 'Walton Committee, and yet after thatplaintiff continued his prosecution. It appeared that at the meeting at Stam ford Mr. Baker had been unanimously acquitted of the charge of misrepresenting the age of the steer, but why had he not brought his action against the Wal ton Committee instead of against: the present de fendant, who had merely published an article founded on the report of the Committee. The defendant had, in his letter of the 14th June, offered to let judgment go by default ; and he did not envy the feelings of the then prosecutor, who, after such a letter could have continued this action. The only reason why judgment had not been suffered to go by default was, because the defendant had been advised that it would be better for him to have this case tried before a Judge with a special Jury, than before an Under Sheriff, and the difference of ex pense would not be more than 101. or 201. Lord DENA& in summing up said, that the letter complained of a libel was wholly unintelli gible when taken by itself, but unfortunately it was headed " The cheating Sheriff of Rutland," concluding with these expressions, " We wonder what the lying Sheriff will say to this, how will he wriggle out of it." Will his friends assist him. They are underdone brown." And with this witticism, for the Jury would recollect that the writer of the article signed his name P. Brown, the article concluded. Now, it really was a miserable thing that the Jury and Court should have their time occupied by , stuff like this. He could not help expressing his regret that persons occupying the station filled by• the defendants, who must be men of education, and of intellectual attainment, and who ought to have the feelings and manners of gentlemen in dulging in the use of abusive and vulgar language such as that which he had just read. It seemed as if the editors of papers thought it incumbent on them to follow the example set them by two persons in a work of fiction' with which, no doubt, all who heard him had been frequently delighted, and wllb, because they happened to be editors of rival newspapers, thought themselves privileged to indulge in the lowest and most abusive expressions against each other. The question was to what damages was the plaintiff entitled. He could not help expressing his opinion that all such language ought to be treated with con tempt by men of character. With regard to the man ner in which the case for the plaintiff 'had been brought before them, he must say that he never saw a voyage of reputation embarked' on with sails so closely reefed. It was absurd for the Sheriff of Rut land to come here to vindicate his character before a Special Jury of the county of Middlesex, who had never heard of his name before, and no one of whom knew anything about him. With regard to the defendant's letter of the 14th June, he considered that was a very proper letter ; and if the plaintiff had not thought that a sufficient apology, he might have re quired a fuller apology, or have called for the name of the person who had written the letter; but instead of that, after reading that letter deprecating his anger, and apologising for the insertion of the letter, plaintiff brought defendant here to meet the visitation of the law. The Learned Counsel for the defendant said, that he was glad the case had been heard in that Court, and that the expense would only be a little different from what it would have been if judgment had gone by default, and the case had been heard before the Under Sheriff. He. was afraid the Learned Gentle man's client would not find such to be the case, and he was desirous that it should not go forth to the public that persons were not doing themselves any injury by proceeding to trial in the superior Courts, when they had no grounds of defence to offer. He thought a Sheriff and a Sheriff's Jury would done, ample enough justice in the present case. The question now was, whether they thought the plaintiff entitled to any damages at all bej,:ondiutshtomse_ n ominal damages which every person was . entitled to in cases of this natu re, where there was cation. The Jury retired to consider the verdict at one o'clock, and at half-past four o'clock returned a verdict for plaintiff—Damages, 40s. KENDILLON V. MALTBY, ESQ. This was ;an action broughtby t t he the plaintiff, the ,mo had been a police sergeant, against police Magistrate of the Marlborough-street Police Court, for slander. Mr. C. CLARK opened the proceedings. Mr. KELLY, in stating the case to the Jury, said, that the plaintiff, who had always borne an irre • proachable character, held the situation of sergeant in the police force in the month of June, 1841, and that his beat was in the parish • of . St. George's, Hanover-square. It appeared that at that time, a number of persons of abandoned cha racter resided in Woodstock-street, which was on the plaintiff's beat. The plaintiff had beep. very . active in endeavouring to get these. women of ,aban doned character out of that locality, and at length he had succeeded in clearing the street. On the 21st June, there was a disturbance in Shepherd-street, to which these women had removed from Woodstock street. The plaintiff in quelling the disturbance had been assaulted: by a person named Woolridge, who was charged before Mr. Maltby with the assault ; in fict he had given the plaintiff a very severe blow. Some of these abandoned women h - ad been called by Woolridge, and Mr. Maltby had dismissed the complaint. On the 29th of June another disturbance had occurred at the same spot. Two gen tlemen, Sir Thomas Moncrieff and Captain . Ormiby, had complained to the plaintiff that one of them had been robbed. The plaintiff made inquiries on the spot, and offered to take any one into custody whom they would charge as having robbed them. One of the gentlemen immediately afterwards found the arti cle of which he stated he had been robbed, and with drew the complaint. The women became very vio lent, and attacked the plaintiff, and Sir Thomas Mon crieff and Captain Ormsby took part with the women, and gave the plaintiff a blow. They were taken into custody, and on being brought before the defend ant they denied the assault. Now, Captain 'Ormsby had not been in a state, at the time the transaction had taken place, to know anything about it. In fact, he was drunk—he had 1 eenfined Mr. by Maltby him self for drunkenness. The case was then adjourned to procure further evidence ; and on the ad of July, when the case came on for final hearing, evidence having been given corroborating the evidence of the plaintiff, Mr. Maltby fined Captain Ormsby ss. for being drunk, and ss. for assaulting the plaintiff, and dismissed the case against Sir Thomas Moncriefr. At the conclusion of the case Mr. Maltby made use Of the language which was the subject of the present action. The words made use of by defendant were, "I feel myself bound to say, with reference to this charge, and also to one before me a few days since, from the same spot, that I do not believe Sergeant Kendillon on his oath ? " This was said in the open Court, in the presence of men belonging to the Me tropolitan Police, and of new reporters, who would report the words to the public. lie would defy Mr. Maltby to prove the truth of the words he had uttered. The nature of the pleadings was such as to allow of a justification being put upon the record, but the de fendant had not attempted to justify. These words of the Magistrate had been communicated to the Commissioners of Police, who in consequence had dismissed the plaintiff. He had remained for some time out of a situation, but had at length been for tunate enough to obtain employment in the Surrey police. _ _ •. _ _ The Learned Counsel then called witnesses to prove the use of the words by defendant, and the dismassal of plaintiff by Mr. Mayne, the Police Commissioner. The case for the plaintiff having closed, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, for defendant, said that as no evidence had been given of malice on the part of Mr. Maltby, as the observations had been uttered by him on the Bench in the execution of his duty as Magistrate, and as there was no evidence of special damage, for the evidence of Mr. Mayne did not go to that extent, he submitted to the C , ,lurt that there was no case to go to the Jury, for the observations had been made by him in his judicial capacity in giving judgment in a case before him, and he was entitled to the protection of the Act of Parliament. Mr. KELLY, in reply, contended that the expres sions themselves were sufficient to show malice from the manner in which they were used. It was neither decorous nor right in a Magistrate, because the per sons brought before him happened to move in the sphere of gentlemen, and denied the truth of the charge, to state that he did not believe a witness on his oath, when at the same time there was nothing whatever to impeach the veracity of the witness. Mr. CLARK followed on the same side. Lord DENIeAN said that in his opinion no Judge was entitled to any protection for uttering slander, and if he uttered it either during a. case or beside a case, he must be held responsible, but in this case it appeared to him that Mr. Maltby was acting in some measure both as judge and jury, and in the exercise of his discretion as a magistrate, having to form an opinion of the conduct of the officers under him, it appeared to the Court that Mr. Maltby was bound to state, as his reason for dismissing the case, that he did not believe the officer on his oath, if such was really the case, and he was-also bound to make that observa tion in the hearing of the superintendent, in order that information might be conveyed to the Commissioners. Under these circumstances he thought plaintiff could not maintain his action without giving express proof of malice. None such had been given, and therefore there was no case to go to the Jury. Plaintiff nonsuited. BANKRUPTCY.-(TIIIS DAY.) IN RE JOHN GOODERED-THE PICCADILLY SALOON. This day being appointed for the final examination of the bankrupt, who was the proprietor of the above notorious place of resort, the Courts was crowded with creditors of the estate, and others anxious to hear the details of the case. The bankrupt having been sworn, was examined at great length concerning his connection with, and the prOts arising out of, the play and betting rooms at Doncaster. He stated that he had been connected with them for thirteen years, and the profits, after in cidental expenses, amounted to between 400/. and 5001. a-year. Some years they exceeded 7001. or 8001. but latterly they had fallen off very much. Mr. Commissioner I' or is but little to be wondered at, after the numerous exposures that have latterly taken place in the Law Courts. Goodered—l have had sometimes as many as thir teen Members of both Houses of Parliament there at the same time.—(Loud laughter.) The bankrupt having answered' the usual questions, and rendered his accounts, was declared entitled to pass his examination. IN RE IJANWAY V. TIIE MARYLEDONE BANK. The examination of this bankrupt, who was the principal Manager and Director of the Marylebone Bank, was again resumed this thy. The subject of investigation was the general items in the balance sheet, in which there appeared no point of public in terest. At the adjournment the further hearing was fixed for to-morrow morning at 11 o'clock. ACCIDENT ON THE BIRMING HAM RAILWAY. (ANOTHER ACCOUNT.) As the train was proceeding down a slight inclina tion at twenty-five minutes before twelve o'clock, noar Northchurch, a village about a mile on the other side of Berkhampsteacl, and between the latter place and Tring, some of the passengers became aware that all was not right, by hearing the stoker raking out the fire from under the engine. The axle tree had in , fact broken, and the stoker with great presence of mind, took this precautionary step to prevent the boiler from bursting ; the next minute the fore wheel flew off, and the engine and tender were thrown off the line and smashed to pieces. The first carriage was hurled from the road, and rolled down the embankment, and the two first-class car riages forced right athwart the rails. The last car riage received but a comparatively slight shock, the two fore wheels only being thrown off the line and no person within receiving any injury. As soon as the passengers who had providentially escaped without injury could recover from the mo mentary consternation into which they had been thrown by the terrific occurrence, they ran down the bank to assist those who had been in the first carriage. Among those more fortunate persons luckily happened to be Mr. T. H. Hill, a medical gentleman, who was re turning to London from Oxford, and who promptly rendered all the assistance in his power to his maimed fellow-passengers, who were found in a state of insensi bility, and were at first supposed to be dead. One of the Company's overlookers, who had been in the first car riage, was, in its descent, thrown out at the window, and left upon the emb an k men t. Th e s t o k er was found to have received a severe concussion of the brain ; and an old man and women were found lying with their bodies literally doubled together inside the ill fated carriage, They were got out with considerable difficulty, and examined by Mr. Hill ; the heads of Lboth were covered with blood, and on a closer examination he found that they had both received severe lacerations of the scalp. The woman was also much cut about the eyes, and the small branches of the temporal arteries had been divided, causing profuse haemorr hage. By this time the sufferers had been removed-- the old man and woman to Northchurch, and the overlooker and stoker to Berkhampstead.: An engine and some carriages were sent from Berk hampstead to convey the ether passengers to town, but a considerable time elapsed before the obstruction caused by the broken engine and tender could be removed from the line, and when that was done a new rail had to be laid down in place of one which had been cut asunder by the shock. The only injury which the first-class carriages received was the de • struction of the plate-glasS - in the windows. The cause of the accident, which it is only surpris ing was not attended by still more lamentable results than those which are above detailed, was unquestion ably a defect in the iron of which the axle was made ; for, on examination, it was at once manifest that, not withstanding its appearance of strength, it possessed very little, not more than one-fourth of the apparent substance being real. A large hollow, like an air bubble, appeared to have formed from the centre nearly to the edges of the metal. The loss which will accrue to the Company 'from the damage done is estimated at 2,0001. The train, which should have arrived shortly after one, did not reach town until near four o'clock. LATEST PARTICULARS. Intelligence was this afternoon received at the Euston-station of the railway, that Mrs. Bye, the elderly woman above alluded to, this morning breathed her last. She was•between 60 and 70 years of age, and her constitution received a shock which was too much for her advanced period of life, although it had at first been hoped she would recover. The other sufferers are all doing well. The unfortu nate woman is the first passenger ever killed upon this line of railway, the results of the former accidents having been confined to the Company's servants. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TRE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—It appears that her Majesty's Ministers are at length convinced of the necessity of adopting fixed duty on corn, as the new sliding scale has worked so unsatisfactorily for the public interests. We are in formed that the scheme under consideration, and which will probably be submitted for the approval of Parlia ment, with certain modifications, is as follows :—ln the beginning, to levy one uniform rate of duty of 12s. per quarter on c heat imported from all foreign countries not being British possessions ; but after wards to allow the Executive to reduce the duty one half—to Cs. per quarter—on imports from those countries which may claim the indulgence a 7, a compensation for concessions made to us, or for corresponding reductions in their duties levied upon British manufactures. This will give power to Minis ters in negotiating commercial treaties with our neigh bours, as they will be enabled to offer an equavalent for favours conferred upon us. It will be of great service in softening the hostile Tariffs of America and of Prussia, together with the other States forming the Ocrinah Ctistottis' ITnioti, whieh are maneeuVring slowly and systematically •to eitihtl, but goods en tirely from their markets, and which they thti' ally succeed in doing at no very distant period, if wt do not adopt timely measures to counteract them. We must confess that this scheme offers many advan tages, and is a great improvement upon the last sliding scale. It remains to be seen whether it will find favour with those who were lately . advocates of monopoly, although they now begin to sing a differ ent song. STANDARD.—It must have been observed that the Whig journals have rather abruptly discontinued their claims, on behalf of the late Ministry, to the arrangement of that plan of operations conducted to so glorious an issue by Sir H. Gough and Sir William Parker. At 'first cur Liberal Contemporaries were loud and most indignant in their reclamation against the at tempt to "filch" (that was the word) from Lords Mel bourne, Palmerston, and Co., the honour of preparing the plan in question ; and many long columns of grave argument were daily •poured forth to prove that the present Ministers have been mere me chanical labourers, working out the masterly design of their predecessors in office. this importunate claim, as we have remarked, has ceased with an abruptness not easily understood by the public : be it our task to offer thp explanation. The Whig journals, with er without promptinc , from their patrons lately in office, would naturally assign to these patrons, and detract froth Sir Robert Peel's Ad ministration, whatever amount of merit they could ; hut -as the successes of the Chinese expedition followed so immediately upon the expulsion of the Whigs from office, these journals had upon the post hoc ergo ex hoc argument, a plausible pre text for ascribing to the expelled Ministers the merit of the expedition and its arrangements. The expelled Whigs, whether they suggested this- claim or did • not, looked complacently upon it ; not one of them had the grace to dis claim praise which they all knew if the truth were manifest to the public, must - reflect upon them the deepest disgrace. As the time of in evitable explanation, - however, approached, it was thought convenient to let the matter drop. On the eve of an exposure of the, truth, that they had not merely not prepared -the - plan of the expedition so happily adopted and executed by their political rivals, but scornfully rejected it when. proposed to them, it would be impolitic to persist in the claim set up for them. Hence all their journals have lately received orders to be silent on the subject. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) FOREIGN OFFICE, DEC. 6, 1842.

The Average Price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed from the Returns made in the Week ending Dec. 6, 1842, is 355. Od. per cwt., exclusive of the Duties of Customs paid or payable thereon on the importation thereof into Great Bt itain. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of December 9.) SucArt.—The good and fine yellow descriptions of British Plantation Sugar arc wanted, and the supply being small, former rates have been fully sustained; but merchants have been desirous to sell brown, grey, and the lower kinds of yellow, and have submitted to a re duction on lust Friday's rates of Gd to is per c wt. To-day the market was in a dull state for West India Muscovadoes Sugar, beth grocers and refiners operated with much caution, and the prices accepted were rather lower, making the decline for the week is per cwt, ex cepting for the best yellow sorts, which sustained the former currency ; the total sales for the week are 1,350 hhds and trcs. REFINED.—To-day the market was in a tranquil' state for Refined Sugar, and 74s is the value of Standard ) Lumps. Bonded Crushed Sugar in good derntind, at 26s 3d to 26s Gd per cwt. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon at auction 596 bags were sold, at a decline of 6d to is per cwt ; fine bright yellow went at 64s Gd to 665, low middling 55s 6d to 56s 6d, and fine brown 55s per cwt. EAST 10na..--The best white descriptions of Bengal Sugar have been in" good demand at the former cur rency, but all other kinds have moved off slowely at a reduction of is to is Gd per cwt. This afternoon Bengal met with little attention, and 3,777 bags at public sale went off heavily, at a decline of I s on former rates ; low to fine white sold at 61s to 675, ord to good yellow 55s to 60s per en t. FonErc,N.—holders of all kinds of Foreign are firm, and have refrained from offering any at public sale this week: An opinion is getting current that a reduction will be made next July in the duty on Foreign Sugar. COFFEE.—Holders of Coffee adapted for home con sumption, have displayed firmness this week, and have supplied the market sparingly. This afternoon the public sale of ColTi2e were well attended, and a fair desire was evinced on the part of the trade to purchase ; 186 casks 32 brls West India, 2,33 bags Ceylon, 100 bales Mocha, 200 bags Manilla, 43 bags Laguayra were offered. West India was nearly all sold, but at a decline of is to 2s per cwt ; Berbice good mid coloury went at 95s to 100 s, mid 90s ; Jamaica low mid and mid 90s to 96s .

TEA.—The continued large arrivals of Tea, the desire of merchants to sell, together with the settlement of the China question, have produced a very unfavourable opi nion amongst the trade generally towards Tea, and the market has been in a dull state all the week, both for black and green descriptions. To-day the market presented a languid appearance for Tea, and the tendency of price is still downwards ; forced sales of common sound Congou for cash made at is 4d to Is 44d per lb. There is a desire on the part of several holders to realise. MOLASSES.—IIcIde rs of West India having submitted to rather lower rates, a good business has been trans- A ae n te t d i,;ua S fi t. n V e 2 it , le s e t n o ts u fa s ir : stot.gio,uoediaaatt22ssss6tdet2oss266ds p6eclr, cwt. ° Foreign dull of sale, 6s to 6s 6d is the value.

Cod Oil has been selling privately at 311 lOs to 321 10s, and pale Seal 39/ 10 to 401; at public sale 3 tuns tine Southern were sold at 40/ 15s ; 41 tuns Seal, from Hallifax, yellow at 301 to 32/ 10s, straw colour 33l 10s, brown 281 to 281 ss, black Seal 261 to 2615 s ; a small quantity of Halifax Cod Oil fetched 301 to 31/ lOs per tun.

MANsLauG llTER.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Payne held a lengthened investigation at the Duke of Cla rence, London-road, on the body of Samuel Nathan, aged 69, a picture dealer in the Borough-road. Peter Fdcock, of 3, Neale's-place, Seven Dial s , a porter, said, that on Wednesday, the 23d ult., at about three o'clock in the afternoon, he was standing in the passage of Mr. Foster's sale-room, in Pall mall. He saw three men, named Mountain, Rason, and Davy, walking along the passage towards the sale-room. Rason said,. in witness's hearing, " Let's go in and ask• Mr. Nathan to have a drop of gin." Mountain nodded assent, and Rason added, " Give it him right and left when he comes out." All three then went into the room, and in a few minutes after wards came out again, the deceased following them. When they all got into the passage, Mountain turned round and struck the deceased a violent blow on the right eye, which caused him to fall, and while he was on the ground Mountain again struck him severely over the head, and kicked him in the throat, Rason inciting Mountain to continue the aggression, by saying,- " Give it kim ;" and Mountain replied, have his b— liver out." The deceased called out for assistance, and several gentlemen rushed from the sale-rOom, lifted, and carried him into the counting•• house. Blood was streaming profusely from his wounds.—The above evidence was corroborated by a number of witnesses. Mr. John Brady, 194, Blackfri ars - roa d, sa id h e was called in to see the deceased upon Friday week, when he was in bed. Upon examining his head, he found a very severe contused wound above the right eye. He prescribed for him, but gave the family to understand that there wa s no h o p e o f hi s surv i v i ng th e i n j ur i es received, and he gradually got worse, erysipelas en suing, and he died upon Wednesday evening. He attributed death entirely to the violence received. The Jury at once unanimously returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Richard Mountain, as principal, and Thomas Rason as accessory. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MARYLEB ONE. Thomas Hunt, an elderly cabman, No. 5,131, was charged with robbing Mr. Henry Harris, of No. 14, Aldenham-street, Somers-town, of three sovereigns. The complainant stated that he hired the prisoner's cab last night, :after twelve, from the corner of Sid mouth-street, and ordered him to drive to Aldenham street. On the way, witness changed his mind, and ordered the prisoner to drive to Muskett's Coffee house, in Ossuiston-street, which was done, and the cab discharged Witness said, however, that the pri soner might have a cup of coffee at his expense, and he (the prisoner) accepted the same with thanks. After waiting about ten minutes, prisoner informed him that he would charge for time spent there, and demanded eightpence more than he had previously paid him. Witness having no change, held out three sovereigns in his hand, saying, " Take your charge out of that ;" and the prisoner took them, walked out of the room, and drove off. Witness was quite asto nished for a time, but finding that he did not come back, he gave intelligence to the police, who took him into custody. Police-constable 114 S said he found the prisoner on the stand in Holborn, and when he charged him 'lt the robbery, he replied " that the money was a and he would give it up to no one." free girt, . •;d he did not know which was tl.e Mr. LONG 'onduct, that of the prosecutor more extraordinary taking,money ,. in such a for giving, or the cabman emit him tor trial. manner. As it was he would co._ Alfred Inge, eighteen, was , a stout yeung man t). charged with a criminal assault upon Heto A , ir e li a Cranstoun, a girl of eight years of age, ana fully .Cennnitted for trial. CLERKENWELL. Henry Trinkworth Stanton, alias Doctor Stanhope, with a variety of other aliases, was brought up for final examination. The Court was crowded to excess. The prisoner is about 60 years of age. He was enveloped in a brown Taglioni, and had a lady's boa coiled round his neck. When placed in the dock he bowed to the Court, and then turned round and sneered at the spectators who pressed forward to catch a glimpse of him. A con densed epitome 'of the leading incidents of the latter part of the pris'ner's life may not be uninteresting. He is a native of Ireland, and was educated for the medical profession. In 1824 he came to London,tand was married in the same year to Miss Whilbourne, of Ripley, in Surrey, with whom he received a fortune of 8001. He deserted her in 1826, leaving her with one child in a very destitute condition. He went back to Ireland and contrived to introduce himself to a family named Wilkinson, of high re spectability, residing in the vicinity of Dublin. To Miss Wilkinson he paid his addresses, and having represented himself as a surgeon of considerable business and a handsome patrimo nial independence besides, was favourably received. He came to London at the close of the same year, with a letter of introduction from Mr. Wilkinson to a gentleman named Kenyon, residing in Islington. As Mr. Wilkinson stated that the prisoner was about to become his son-in-law, Mr. Kenyon made some in quiries about him, and found that he was a married man and a swindler. He communicated the discovery to the prisoner, who did not return •to Dublin. He then took lodgings in Ashley-street, Northampton-square, and ran away in a month without paying anything for his board or apartments. Mr. Kenyon chanced to meet him one day on the Commercial-road North. The prisoner spoke in as independent a manner as if nothing had happened, and took Mr. Kenyon to his lodgings in a coffee-shop then kept by a widow. About a month after he absconded from this place, leaving behind him a large trunk. His land lady at length sent for the broker, had it opened, and found it full of stones. All trace of him from 1826 to 1836 is lost. In the latter year he was committed for trial by the Magistrates at Union hall on six different charges of flilony. He was tried on one of them at the Old Bailey, and had sentence of death pronounced against him. Through the inter cession of the Chancellor of the Exchequer his sen tence was commuted to two years' imprisonment. When he came out of the Penitentiary, in 1838, he went to live with his wife, who was earning a decent livelihood by teaching. After plundering her of every farthing she possessed, even to her wedding ring, he again deserted her. In 1840, he made acquaintance with a respectable family in Vauxhall. He attempted to win the affections of the daughter of his host, but his real character was discovered by a gentleman ac quainted with the family, and he decamped with a quantity of the young lady's jewellery. During his acquaintance with this family, he robbed Mr. Menzies, a jeweller, in Clerkenwell of two gold watches, value 35/. Soon after Llis time, he in troduced himself to a young lady, who resided in Leicester-square. In Greenwich-park he robbed her of 251. and seduced her. He then became ac quainted with Miss Miller, an elderly . lady, residing in Kennington, and promised her marriage. He in duced her to pawn the watches for him which he had stolen from Mr. Menzies. At this period be was co habiting alternately with two young women named Grant and Hillman, the former of whom appeared as witness against him, and whom he had seduced. At the close of 1840 he fraudulently obtained two pis tols, value 25 guineas, from Mr. Egg, gunmaker, Pall-mall, and two telescopes from Mr. Elliott, mathe matical instrument-maker, Holborn. A few months after he took lodgings at Mrs. Lattet's, Prince's square, Kennington ; he feigned illness on aparticular Sunday whilst there. Mrs. Lattet requested him to mind the hbuse for her whilst she was at church, but on her return she found he had absconded and robbed her of 20?. 'Whilst at Mrs. Lattet's he robbed a pawn broker at Walworth of a pair of pistols. In the be ginning of the present year he went to lodge at Mr. Bruce's, a jeweller, residing in Wakefield-street, Brunswick-square, and absconded with 201. worth of his property. It should have been stated that, in December, 1840, he went to lodge with a poor washerwoman, in St. Giles's, whom he robbed of 101., all she possessed, and seduced her daughter. This day Charles Hayward Hughes produced the record of a former conviction against the prisoner at the Old Bailey, on winch he was transported for life. Witness deposed that he was present at'the trial, and identified the prisoner, who was tried under the name of Stanton. Mr. ComnE asked the prisoner had he anything to say why he should not be committed for trial ?—The prisoner pUt to the witness some questions of an irre levant nature, which Mr. Combe told him he was not obliged to answer. _ Ire was then fully committed for trial on the charges of robbing Messrs. _Menzies and Bruce, of jewellery amounting in value to 551. WORSHIP-STREET. An adjourned case, in which Charles Greenwood a shoemaker, and Mary, his wife, were conjointly charged with havhvg assaulted police-constables 70 and 369 of the division, and rescued a prisoner from their custody, was disposed off. The particulars of the case appeared in The Sun of Wed nesday. It was adjourned for the attendance of In spector Rutt, in consequence of a counter charge of drunkenness having been made against the policemen. The Inspector stated that on their arrival at the sta tion-house the constables were highly excited, but on being visited an hour afterwards on their respective beats, they were found to be quite sober and collected. Mr. BINGHAM was glad the officers had been able to exonerate themselves from the charge of drunken ness, but he felt bound to say that they had acted with unnecessary violence. The assaults of which they complained amounted to no more than a justifiable at tempt to repel an aggression. He should dismiss the charge, and he trusted that what had taken place would operate as a caution to the policemen as re garded their future conduct.--Thp prisoners were dis charged. . A thick fog has enveloped Paris for the last three days. It commenced on Saturday about noon, and gradually increased toward the evening, when ob jects could scarcely be recognised at fifteen or twenty paces' distance. It entered ' the theatres so effectually as to incommode the audience, and the omnibuses on certain lines were obliged to go at a walking pace. On Sunday it clear&l up partially towards the middle of the day, but returned in the evening. Yesterday it continued all day, and in creased in the evening, particularly in the Champs- Elysees, where the lamps could be barely seen across the road.—Paris paper. MILDNESS or THE SEASON.—We have received the following communication from a respectable corres .pondent in Holywood :—" Having been informed, by several persons, that swallows were to be seen in the neighbourhood of Holywood, I was disposed to with hold credit from the report, until Friday lost, when I observed on the wing a pair of these birds, so rarely to be seen at this advanced season of the year, feed ing, as in summer, on the small insects, which are plentiful at present. I may also mention, that I heard a thrush singing, in Ballymenoch grounds, on Sunday se'tinight ; and that sparrows are daily seen carrying straws, &c., to their building places." As another proof of the temperature of the season, we may here observe, that on the Ist instant, there was left at our office a bouquet of full-blown primroses, which were gathered on the lands of Wm. Arthur, Esq., of Whiterock, at least 300 feet above the level of the sea.—Belfast Northern Whig. THE CURRENCY CREEK, AUSTRALIA.--A meeting of persons interested in this undertaking was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr. De Costa in the chair, for the purpose of appointing some compe tent person to be agent in the town of Adelaide, Aus tralia, for the purpose of carrying out a proposed plan of emigration and colonisation. After some discus sion the meeting was adjourned, in order to ascertain if any house connected with the town of Adelaide would undertake the agency. CHURCH-RATES. The following notice has been fo rwarded from the Home-office, to the Overseers and Churchwardens of every parish in England and Wales : "'Gentlemen,—The Queen has been pleased to comply with the prayer of a humble address presented to her Majesty in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons, for ' a return of every Church -rate, or rate for the purpose of Church-rate, within the last two years, in every parish, district parish, and extra parochial place, distinguishing the year in which it was made; the gross amount of the rate, and the rune per pound on the property asses sed ; the amo collected, and the amount spent in repairing the, fabric of the church ; the amount derived from alt funds other than Church-rates, applied in aid th ereof; in what cases vestries called to consider a Church -rate have refused, or by any form of proceeding declined to grant it ;' also with the prayer of an humble address presented to her Majesty, in pursua nce of a resol ution of the House of Commons, for ' a return of the value at which the property has been assessed to the Cho urc ial Dial rate in each parish, district parish , and extra-paroch place, within the last two years. `• I am directed by Secretary Sir James Graham to desire that you will prepare the said returns, soarf as relates to the parish, or townsh i p , district pari, 0 1 extra-parochial place for which you are the churcliware dens, and transmit the same to m e as soon as possibl with a view to their being laid before the House of Commons.
