OLD COURT. ROBBERY AT MESSRS. ROUTLEDGE'S. Henry Strong was indicted for stealing three printed books, the property of Messrs. Routledge, the publishers, of Farringdon-street, and 'Samuel Bradley was indicted for receiving the property knowing it to be stolen. Strong pleaded guilty. . Mr. Orridge prosecuted and Mr. Best, of the Oxford Circuit, defended Bradley. The case having been stated to the jury, Mr. Fox, a City ward beadle, said the early part of the month of August he was seated in his parlour when he saw the prisoner Strong, with one of Messrs. Routledge's trucks when Bradley came up to him, and after a short conversation, Strong took three books from under neath his coat and gave them to Bradley. They then went away. I went out, and after going a short distance I met them both together. I asked Bradley what Strong had given him from underneath his coat, when he said, "Three books, which I had ordered of him." I told him I did not, think it was a regular transaction, and that I should requite these to go to Messrs. Routledge's in order to ascertain whether Strong had any authority to dispose of property in the manner he hal done. They both went as far as the door of Messrs. Routledge's warehouses in Farringdon street, but as they refused to go in the assistance of the police had to be called. Mr. Routledge, jun., said the prisoner Strong had no authority to sell books on his own account. Sergeant Johnson, of the City police, said—After' the prisoner Bradley's lodgings had been searched I saw him in the cell of the station-house. I asked if he had any of Messrs. Routledge's books at his lodgings. Ho replied " No." I asked him if he was quite sure that he was right in his statement, and he said he was sure he had none. I then said to him, as he was a dealer in books, " Surely you must have some stock," to which he replied, " So I have, but they are chiefly old books and pamphlets." I then told him to be careful in his answers, and he again denied hav ing any books there belonging to Messrs. Routledge. I then asked him what he would say if I could show 142 volumes of Mr. Routledge's publications. He marked several, and said he had purchased them, but I said— " Those are published by Routledge," but he made no reply. The charge was made before me at the station. I questioned Bradley about the property, and he said he had got them from Routledge's porter, and he ordered them. Strong was afterwards brought in, and Bradley was asked if he was the porter that had let me have the books, which he denied. Mr. J. Eton, clerk to Messrs. Routledge, said the pri soner Strong left the premises with a truck load of books on the 7th of August, and said he was going to Mrs. Low. Mrs. Low, late of London-house -yard, said she had seen the prisoners together when she kept the house. Bradley was a hawker of books. The jury returned a verdict of guilty against Bradley. The Recorder asked if Mr. Routledge was in court, as he should like to know if he had been robbed to a large extent. Mr. G. Routledge said the prisoner Strong had been in his service for nine years. He always thought he was honest. The firm had lost a great many books, b u t h a d never b een able to trace them. Books of our own publication have been seen in very suspicious places. The only thing that he knew objectionable against Strong was, that he was con tinually meeting him in the streets talking to people. The Recorder said it was a painful thing to find a man who had been trusted robbing his employer. From the number of Mr. Routledge's books that had been produced in court, there could be no doubt that the system had been going on for some time. He should therefore sentence him to 12 months' imprisonment. With respect to Bradley, it was hardly to be supposed that he, a hawker of books, could for a moment think that Strong was acting honestly, and he should, therefore, sentence him to 18 months' impri , sonment. Ann Callaghan was indicted for stealing 1.5 s , the pro perty of her master. IHE LOSS OF THE COLONIST, OF HULL A MANCHESTER GENTLEMAN AND HI WIFE DROWNED. On Friday we published a few particulars of the loss of the splendid steamer Colonist, trading between Konigsberg and Hull. We now have further particulars, and it is with deep regret we have to announce that Mr. Erhald Hald, Danish merchant, of Manchester, along with his wile, are amongst the passengers who have been drowned in the ill fated vessel. Mr. Currie, Mr. Hald's cashier, visited Hull on Friday for the purpose of making inquiries, but left the same day without getting any definite information as to whether or not Mr. and Mrs. Hald had perished. The mate, Thomas Leonard Jackson, arrived in Hull on Saturday morning, and amongst other information he states that Mr. and Mrs. Held were passengers on board, and that they never left the cabin from the time the steamer was struck by the sea to her going down. He (the mate) spoke to Mr. Hald half-an-hour before the steamer foundered, and ad vised him to go on deck, as there would be more chance of being saved there in the event of extreme danger. He, however, refused to leave his wife, who appeared to he already dying fron the shock she had received. The unfor tunate gentleman,..p.long with his wife, therefore perished in the sea. As to the loss of the vessel, the mate states that the Colonist left Copenhagen on Friday, the 13th, about one o'clock in the morning, the weather being then fine, and all went well until the morning of the 16th. During the preceding evening the wind had increased to a perfect gale, and about half-past 3on the morning of the 16th a heavy sea struck the ship on the starboad side, throwing her on her beam ends, and shifting the cargo at the same time. All hands were immediately called on deck, and the captain gave orders for the sails to be taken in. This was done, and every article on deck was removed to the other aide in the hope of righting the vessel, but to no effect. The captain next gave orders for the hatches on the after hold to be opened, when it was found that the cargo had settled considerably. Every attempt was made to prevent the water getting into the engine-room, but the ship filled so rapidly that water eventually gained access, and the fires were put out. A brig then hove in sight, 'and the signal of distress was hoisted and answered. About this time a heavy sea tarried away the port lifeboat, and two other boats. The ship then began to sink by the stern, and the captain ordered the lady passengers to be got into the boat, but owing to the ship heaving such tremendous lists it was found im possible to launch the boat. The steamer now sunk so deep that the water reached the boat and floated it, when those who were near and had presence of mind jumped in, and with difficulty and at great peril got clear of the wreck. The sea all this time was running so high that all the efforts of the men had to be directed to keep her from swamping, and therefore they could not render any assistance to those on board, who perished. The brig before mentioned eventually succeeded in tiling them on board, after which it bore down to the wreck in the hepe of saving those on board, and succeeded in getting one of the seamen. The gale, however, raged so furiously that no further assistance could be rendered. The steamer then entirely disappeared with sejen of the crew and six passengers, including the captain. The following are the names of the crew saved :—Thomas L. Jackson, the mate; James Wm. Beckett (second mate), Jas. Whiteley (engineer), John Hulin (second engineer), Henry Doran (steward), Philip Harrison (cook), all of Hull ; George Sorenson, Tensant Olsen, Christian T. Williamson, Anto Louritz Hunson, Ludvig G. Bay, foreign seamen; Richd. Dreyer, of Hull, a passenvr, was also saved. A melancholy interest is attached to the fate of this ves sel, and the loss of life which has resulted, from the cir cumstance that Mr. H. Atkinson, as consul at Hull for his Prussian Majesty, now holds for delivery to Capt. Beckett, of the Colonist, a letter of thanks from the Prussian Go- The prisoner, who had the appearance of a domestic ser vant, pleaded guilty.

Chiplye, a Chinese, was indicted a burglary in a dwelling house, and stealing therefrom £2 10s., and two Bank of England notes, numbered 01030 and 190027, the property of Robert March. The polic-constable, who took the prisoner into custody, produced the notes taken from him. The numbers were 010,30, and 190,027. The prisoner, who, at the commencement of the trial pretended not to understand English, when the notes were produced, commenced very rapidly saying , " Me no thief, me no thief; money mine." _ The jury returned a verdict of guilty. The Recorder sentenced him to 12 months' imprison ment. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) UTTERING COUNTERFEIT COIN. John Carey and Louisa, his wife, were indicted for un lawfully having a quantity of counterfeit coin in their pos session, with intent to utter the same. The male prisoner, after the evidence had been adduced, was convicted, but the female was discharged. The Common Sergeant, as he was known, sentenced the prisoner to 10 year's penal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY IN A CAB.—Ellen Price, a well•dressed female, was charged with robbing Mr. Louis Charles, a sculptor, of Bank-place, Bayswater. Mr. Albert interpreted the evidence. The prosecutor, who is a foreigner, met the prisoner in Oxford-street, and got into a cab with her, having some money in his pocket at the time. While going towards his residence he changed his mind, and told the cabman to drive back to Oxford-street, and he then saw the prisoner take the money from his waistcoat pocket—a sovereign and some silver. He asked her to return it, but she denied having any of his money about her. He then stopped the cab and called " Police," and gave the prisoner in charge. She said she had no money when the constable came, but afterwards dropped it, and he picked it up and gave it to the constable. Prisoner said another young woman had been with him. Sergeant Davey, 17 C, took prisoner into custody at the corner of North Audley-street. On the way through Gros venor-square she dropped a sovereign and some silver from her hand. She said that the person who stole the purse was " Polly Keefe," and that they were all drinking to gether at the Noah's Ark, in Oxford-street. Polly Keefe was the associate of thieves. Sergeant White said he knew her as one of the worst class of thieves. Committed for trial. IRIS DAY'S SKIPPING. • LONDON, Sept. 24.—Wind this day at noon—S.S.W. ; strong breeze and fine.

On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 175. 106 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 6-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4206 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.86 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 6-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1676 to 1071 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange 13 against England, But, after making allowance for loss of interest and charges of transport, the present price leaves no profit on sending gold to the United States. ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S INN-ROAD.- The number of patients relieved at this hospital during the week ending Sept. 21 was 2,927, of which 1,124 were new cases, THE MOORS AND FORESTS. We continue our notes from the moors and forests. The following is a return of the sport at Strathbran for the last three days, 9th, 11th, and 13th. The sportsmen were Mr. Dalgety and Captain Milner :—Grouse, 118 ; hares, 22; snipe, 2; total, 142. The grouse seem to be getting more plentiful as the season advances; but the birds are very wild owing to the wet weather. They have not yet, how ever, commenced to pack. Capt. Milner last week killed two fine trout in the river, one 51b and the other nearly 71b. weight. At Gairloch Lord St. John and party have had good sport up to this time, considering the very unfavour able weather that has prevailed since the 12th August. The grouse are healthy and strong, and have bred much better on these moors this season than for the last three years. The following is a return of the game killed at Strathmore Forest Lodge, county of Caithness (moors of Glutt and Ramsdale), from 20th August to 11th September inclusive :—By, Mr. Hunt, W.S., 238 grouse, 23 hares, 4 ducks, and 1 blackcock. By Mr. T. E. 0. Horne-7 stags, 2 hinds. The weather was very wet and stormy. On several days the party was not out at all. Grouse were plentiful, healthy, and :trong on the wing. Deer in good condition ; heads clean very early. At Kinlochewe moors, on the 10th inst., Mr. J. F. Bassett, and the Hon. Major Gage killed 18} brace of grouse. At Strontian,on the after noon of the 7th, Capt. Riddell killed 8 brace of grouse and two couple of snipes ; and on the afternoon of the 11th Si brace of grouse and two brace of blackgame. Birds numerous] and strong, but wild, owing to the long continued wet weather. Mr. Somes has had fair sport at Glensheiro (Langan). On Saturday week he bagged 31 brace grouse; on Monday, 14 brace, a couple of hares, and a brace of snipe ; on Tuesday, 121 brace grouse, 3 hares, and a couple of rabbits. Mr. Somes has also had some sport in the forest. His last stag was brought down on the 12th, and had eight points. At Braeroy the weather has been quite fearful—eternal, never-ceasing heavy rain—so that anything like regular shooting was out of the ques tion. Considering the weather the sport has been good. A few days Mr. Hogg, in 41 hours, and over one brace of dogs, bagged 211 brace grouse and 6 hares ; and he can always secure 10 or 12 brace any morning or evening when the weather admits of going out. In Gairloch Forest the Hon. St. Andrew St. John has killed to his own rifle, up to the 9th September, 3 stags, 1 hind ; and on the 11th, 2 stags, one of these very fat, with a royal head, the other in good condition, with a head of six points. Mr. R. Orlebar stalked in the same forest, on the 10th inst., and killed a fine stag with a head of 10 points. On Tuesday, Sept. 10, Earl Cowper killed two good sf - ags, right and left, one with a royal head and the other having nine tines, weighing respectively 16 stone 11b. and 14 stone lib. On Thursday, Sept. 12, Mr. Clare Vyner killed a beautiful stag weighing 18 stone 11b., having a very large head, carrying 13 tines, of the following dimensions :—Breadth across the brow 33 inches, length of brow antlers 111 inches, length of top antlers 14± inches, length of whole antlers 35; inches. On the same day the Hon. H. Cowper killed a very fine stag, weighing 18 stone 81b., and having a very good head of 10 tines. In Kinloch-ewe forest, on the Gth inst., Mr. J. F. Basset killed a stag ; and on the sth Captain Campion killed a stag with a royal head, and Captain Basset a roebuck. At Strontian, on Aug. 30, Lord R. Grosvenor stalked and killed a roe-deer. Lord Loigh also shot a good stag on the 6th. Captain Riddell and a friend killed 3 roebuck on the sth of Septem ber. In the forest of Ceanacroc, Glenmoriston, Lord Dacre has shot 28 stags. On Friday last Mr. Edward Ross shot 4 stags at Glendibidale, which makes 25 stags and 2 hinds shot by him at the same place this season. In the Reay and Stack forests the Earl of Dudley and friends have shot 18 stags; and at Monar Mr. W. White and friends have shot i 5 stags. The following incident of a day in the forest is recounted by our Duthill correspondent :—One day last week, while the Earl of Stamford and Warrington and party were out stalking in the Rothiemurchus forest, a number of labourers, presently employed in executing certain improvements about the handsome shooting-lodge recently erected in Clenmore, were ordered by his lordship to join for the purpose of driving the deer in the direction of the shooting party. Winile thus engaged, one of the men, John Grant, labourer, Deshar, observed a large stag coming at the top of his speed in a straight line to where he stood. Seeing if the deer was to follow the course he was on certain destruction was inevitable, he made a hasty preparation for defending himself from the fury of the maddened animal, and happening to have a stout branch of a fir tree in his hand, just as the stag was near upon him he took aim and gave the animal a desperate blow on the brow, which brought him to his knees ; essaying to rise, John repeated the dose, and in a few minutes the royal stag breathed his last. It was a splendid animal, having a head with nine tines. One of the gentlemen handsomely re warded the courageous Highlander for his intrepid daring in laying the antlered monarch of the forest with such a novel weapon prostrate at his feet.—lnverness Courier.

The settlement o the country accounts upon the recent important even at Doncaster took place at the rooms on Thursday z'nd Friday last without a complaint, leaving the heavy alauces to be adjusted at "The Corner" this after noon. The subscribers began to assemble unusually early, as is always the case when the stream runs with the fielders, and we are happy to record that a corresponding feeling was evinced upon the other side to meet their liabilities. The result, as was anticipated, was of the most satisfactory character. After the turmoil and bustle attending so heavy a settle ment had somewhat subsided, the more industrious coin menced operations on the autumn handidaps at Newmar ket. For the former Umpire was in great demand, his opening price being readily accepted, and at the finish 15 to 1 was currently offered, but a point more would have been eagerly taken. The Makeless filly and Asteroid were also in force, each having a strong party, and at the close of Ole room it was with some difficulty we could define which was the better favourite, 100 to G having been taken about each for money, but we imagine the filly had the call. Claire was supported at 20 to 1, and Moorhen was backed at 25 to 1, which price was offered against Ivanhoff, who was re peatedly inquired for. The Tat , ler was supported at 50 to 1 in well-informed quarters, and Evenhand we heard asked after, and 1,000 to 30 offered. The CAMBRIDGESHIRE.—Asteroid for this event, as in his other Newmarket engagements, had a host of friends, 100 to 7 being freely accepted, at which price he left off with an upward tendency, his performance at Doncaster having evidently increased the number of the admirers of " Cherry Jacket." The Roe was but slightly touched upon, as was Voltella and Henham Lass. About either 33 to 1 could have been readily obtained, and at which price Diophantus and Evenhand met with support ; Camerino and Dictator, from the outside division, were introduced at 1,000 to 20 each, at which price the former appeared to have a strong party. The DERRY. —The only bet upon this event that came under our notice was 1,000 to 20 against Vanguard.

As on Saturday the principal business to •day was the settlement for Doncaster. Upon the Cesarewitch the hitherto favourites appeared on the decline ; 100 to 6 was taken about Asteroid, but it was afterwards freely offered against either Asteroid, Paste, or the Makeless filly, and 20 to 1 against Henham Lass. Ivanhoff was fairly sup ported, finishing at 25 to 1 (taken). The same price was also taken about Mouravieff, and would have been taken to more money, but the backer declined less than 25 to I.

De Trafford, hart., James Merry, Esq., M.P., Edmund Buck ley, Esq., and Richard Sutton, Esq. NEirrox RAcEs, 1862,—The Stewards for this meek TEN-MILE FOOTRACE Two months since an Indian of the Seneca tribe sar med "Deerfoot" fur his il-etness, arrived in -this country, and at once challenged the pale-faces to try their speed with a son of the North American Indians. Matehr...s were made for him, and the learned had so great a belief in their u n champions that the Indian was seen fully provided with engagements. The race of yesterday, to run ten miles, was between John White, of Gateshead, J. Brighton, of Nor wich, and E. Mills, of Bethnal-green, and Deerfoot, for the Champion Ten-mile Cup and £5O for the first man, and £lO for the second, and came off at the White Lion, Hackney Wick, in the presence of between 3,000 and 4,000 spectators . White, considered the fastest runner of the day, accepted the ten-mile challenge; so did Mills, the six-mile champion, and J. Brighton, of Norwich, the four-mile champion. Mills defeated the Seneca Indian by a few yards in a six-mile race at these grounds a few weeks since, and the Indian last week defeated White at Salford in a four-mile run. The competitors had to traverse 68 times round the ground to complete the ten miles. When the word was given for the men to appear on the mark, Deerfoot appeared in a wolf-. skin, with a feather in his headband, and tinkling bells round his waist. When the bell rang for the start, Brighton was found to be a defaulter; and both Mills and White ap peared very diminutive in comparison to the " Red-jacket," " Off I" was.pronounced, when the trio departed, White with the lead, Mills second, Deerfoot last, and so they continued for half a mile, when Mills took the lead, which he kept to the mile and a half, when the Indian went to the front amid loud cheers. White then tried to recover the lead, which he gained, but failed to retain, and at three miles had to succumb. The remainder of the race between Mills and the Indian was of an exciting character. Ever and again Mills struggled hard to leave his opponent, but the Indian occa sionally shot a-head in a way which astonished the specta tors. There was not a yard between the two at the seventh mile, when the Indian &reed the pace, and on commencing the eighth went right away, when Mills, who was evidently in pain, gave in. The Indian finished at his leisure, in 51 minutes 25 setonds. `VHO ARE _THEoPPONENTSOF THE BANK CHARTER ACT 01 1844. (From the Money Market Review). Lord Brougham once said at a public meeting on social science that the question of currency was so far settled that it was only now discussed by the Birmingham currency doctors. Notwithstanding the versatile genius of the noble and learned lord, we are not disposed to accept his opinions upon this subject as we should upon a point of law. Wo are ready to admit that there are currency quacks, as well as medical quacks and legal quacks. In deed, quackery is so insinuating in its movements, that it penetrates into almost every business and profession of life. We do not, however, on this account confound a Brougham with a pettifogger who frequents the purlieus of the police-courts, nor a Brodie with the quack who professes to cure every disease with some universal nostrum. It is the same with the subject of the currency. There are men to be found who have studied it so thoroughly as to have reduced it almost to a science ; while there are others who attempt to propound theories, being ignorant of its first elements. It is the duty of those who are anxious to promote a sound mone tary system to separate the one from the other, so as not to mistake the shallow reasoner for the man who can substantiate his arguments by facts. There is plenty of good company which a man may keep in descanting upon the issue of bank-notes, as well as if he undertook a translation of Sophocles or Herodotus, without descending to the lowest depths of literary degradation. It is to prove this that we propose to answer the question, " Who are the opponents of the Bank Charter Act of 1844 ?" Those who think that the opponents of that Act form only an insignificant body of inexperienced men, are but imperfectly acquainted with the his tory of the subject. It is a fact, not unknown to the commercial and banking world, that numerous secret and select committees have been appointed, which have terminated only in the cost of blue books, which few persons have the opportunity or the courage to read ; the subject is then shelved for another period, when the same farce is enacted with similar results. The supporters of the Act of 1844, with Lord Overstone at their head, whose confused argunts and French quotations are re garded as something extremely " weighty," adjudge the evidence on their side as a`great triumph, and they go on their way re j o i c i ng. T he mercantile community succumb to this little knot of privileged monopolists, and, divided as they are in their action fo obtain any reform, leave their opponents to revel in the full enjoyment of the maxim—divide et im pera, - Why the evidence of Lord Overstone, himself one of the principal originators of the Act of 1844, should always be made to occupy so large a space in these committees we do not know, except it be to make a show of evidence that contains more fallacies than that of an other witness examined before the com mittee. And what may be marked as a singular fact is, that before the termination of the same year in which this evidence was given, his theories, or what he terms " principles," were scattered to the winds ; and on the morning of Lord Mayor's-day, 1857, the Bank of England was under the dread of having to suspend payment. The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Sir G. C. Lewis) having put the fol lowing question to his lordship :—" Confining our selves at present to the period since 1847 and 1848, do you think that subsequent experience has con firmed your views with respect to the sound policy and beneficial operation of the Act of 1844 ?" he gives the following reply :—" Undoubtedly ; the whole coarse of events since 1847 has year by year strongly confirmed in my judgment the opinions which I have always expressed respecting the prin ciples upon which the Act of 1844 is founded ; and I have the strongest grounds for saying that those opinions have year by year been growing greatly throughout the whole mass of the public, and that the course of events during the last two or three years has created a strong feeling in favour of the Act of 1844, where there was previously considera ble misgiving respecting it." Lord Overstone then refers to the opinions of the Bank Directors who had been examined on the subect. BLONDIN IIV DANGER. A correspondent writes as follows :—" I was yes terday (Saturday) one of the gaping crowd who assembled at the Crystal Palace to see Blondin. By the advice of a friend, I reluctantly expended five shillings upon a ticket for the upper gallery, which gave me the privilege of being upon a level with the rope, and the advantage of a place on the plat form from where the man started. Shortly after I had arrived, Blondin came upon the stage, the band struck up a lively march, and the performance, upon a rope 160 feet above the floor beneath, commenced.

A considerable delay then took place before another pole could be procured. The crowd beneath, who, thirsting for mor bid excitement, had but faintly cheered him when he saved himself from a terrible position,•soon began to show symptoms of impa tience, and at last broke out into very audible sounds of disapprobation.
