ABBEVILLE, MAY 20.—( Extract of a Letter.)--There are several manufactories here, at which the workmen get from Ito 3 francs per day. Were they to work like Englishmen, they would earn twice as much. Now, when-you consider that ' bread, which with the Frenchmen is indeed the staff of life, is ' at only 1 franc 10 cents the 4 killogrammes (fli lbs. English) for the best, and 75 cents (about 7d.) for the worst, making for the first 3i sous per pound,•and for the other you will not be surprised. Few pe rsons here eat the best bread. The other is black enough, but it is sweet, and does not seem to disagree with the people. The price of wheat in this market is 10f. 50c. (shout 13s; 6d.) for a-measure equal to 3i English bushels, but this is of the first quality. .Oats, of the first quality, are at about 28 s sous (14d.) the English bushel. The low price of oats is to be accounted for by the circumstance of their being but little used for the food of horses here. There-is a common sort of bread made for horses, which is given to them when they labour-hard ; and their food at other times is chiefly straw, hey, and bran. Oats are used in the proportion of about one-third of their use in England. The clergy at Abbeville and in its neighbourhood take extraordinary interest in your Catholic Question. This arises, perhaps, from their having educated several young Eng. , lish Catholics, and thus formed connections with England. The 1 clergy of Abbeville are represented to be the best creatures pos. *sible. - They are miserably paid ; some of them have only 301. a-year, few more than 60t., and yet they_contrive to exercise charity. It is in France as i t is in Englandthe rich gifts of the church are in the hands of a few, but here there are none very rich ; the supporters of it labour almost for nothing. There is a story , current here -that the clergy have signed a round-robin against the pastoral letter of the Archbishop of Rouen ; nothing is more likely, for certainly very few act upon it. There are few persons passing through here for the Coronation ; on the contrary, the number of persons who arrive from Calais and Boulogne is not half so great as that from Paris. The dili gences from Paris are filled with passengers ; those to it are nearly empty. I imagine that something of interest is going on between the two capitals, for there is a consta nt p assa g e of couriers. Our Abbeville politician 4 say that the Duke of An gouleme intendeto visit England soon after the Coronation. I believe this is talked of also in Paris. lle is very popular here, and the King just as unpopular. ATTACK ny 'THE NATIVES OF NEW SOLITE' WALES. new South Wales Paper givei 'the following account of another attack by the natives :—" We have just been cre dibly informed, that on the morning of the 21st December, about twenty aboriginal blacks approached 'the house and stock-yard of Mr. James Hobbs, situated about fifteen miles east of .York Plains, at which place it will be recol ! . lected a large tribe of natives made their appearance some few weeks ago, and that after some r e s i stance h a d b e en made by firing upon them, they killed one of Mr. IlObbs's stock-keepers. Upon the present occasion it seems, that as soon as the natives appeared in sight, they were instantly driven back ; on which another party advanced in an opposite direction, and coorda Which was no sooner heard than it was answered by at least 130 more of the same tribe, who, armed with spears and waddies, and attended by nearly fifty fine kangaroo dogs, surrounded the house. Mr: Hobbs 's two servants, each having a musket, defended themselves for five hours, in the • best manner they could, • from the spears at , i t tl in. s o t u o l„ n rh es . were throfin A t them, until at last the blacks pressed furiously on, and , poor fellows (though after much : an tli d ern cons w id i e th rab fi re s Lzard the more than five miles) escaped to Garth's . hut. Qn a they ventured to the folloiving.return home, when they . t h a t All their clothes, provisions ; bedding, and' utensils, ss fo utru l n lE gn e l d idneg fo l r flia"dnbdeen taken away. The pilot balloon, sent up by Messrs. GREEN, previous to. their ascension from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, on the 11th instant, fell at Red Chesters, near Kirkwelpington, about 25 miles from Newcastle, on a bank side, and rolled into a brook, where it was burst, by the country people pelting it with stones. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 25. The LORD CHIEF JuSTIOE resumed his sittings at Nisi Prins in London, and tried a considerable number of common jury causes. GOLDSHEINR v. IIEwETsON AND ANOTHER. Mr.'hawEs stated, that this was an action fir a libel, int, puting to the plaintiff that he 'was a sharper and a swindler, to Which the defendant had pleaded " not guilty." Mr. SCARLETT said, that the paper charged as libellous would not at first seem to convey the malignant insinuation charged in the pleadings, but would be clearly seen to have that mean ing as soon as the circumstances were known. There existed a society, designating itself as ".The Society for the ProtectiOn Trade against Swindlers and.. Sharpers;' from which a list of persons considered Unworthy . of trust annually proceeded. In the intervals, thiS body was in the habit of issuing circulars to warn the trade against persons whose unworthiness was detected subsequent to the publication of the list, in which they stated that the individuals whom th ey named " were reported to the Society as improper: to be ballotted for as members thereof;" and this cautious mode of expression was perfectly understood by those to whom it was addressed as a warning . against swindlers. Such a . circular had been put forth respecting' the plaintiff, and it would be shevin to proceed from the defendants, who had been impelled by interested and personal itaotives. Mr. Goldsheiner bad purchased of them a lot of carpets, for which he had paid according to agreement, partly by cash, and partly by a bill , which-he accepted. Having completed his purchase, he sold the carpets again at an advance of five per cent. on the contract price ; and though they afterw,:rds found their way into the hands of persons who, by selling than at a lower rate, excited a suspicion of their 11Oriesty, no imputation could thence rea sonably arise against the plaintiff: The defendants, however, thought.fit to stop . the goods; and on the plaintiff refusing to give uP 'his bargain, they resorted to this means _hi order to compel hint to resign it. In support of thf.:: statement, it was shewn that the plaintiff's name was seen in circulars similar to that produced ; that one 'of these had found their way into the shop of Mr. Swears, a member 'of the society ; but Mr. Foss, the secretary, declined answering any questions relative to the hand-bill, arid there was no evidence to connect the individual circular produced With the defendants, nor any evidence that they supplied the information, except that one of them Stated if they had put 11is name in' the list, they had their motives. The LORD 6HIiF JUSTICE, under these circumstances, ordered the plaintifF to he,-anti he was accordingly, nonsuited. WESTRAY V. EGAN -This was an action by Mr. Westray, a printer, against Mr.' Pierce Egan, the editor of Life in London, and other works connected with boxing, to recover V. 7s. 6d., the amount of a bill for printing several hand-hills and cards. The placards and bills printed related to a proposed water party to the Nore, for the benefit of Mr. James Purcell, and to the benefits of- Mr. Hares anti Dutch Sam, at the Fives-court; tickets for which benefits were ,to be purchased of Mr. Egan among others. The directions for the printing were given by Mr. Egan, and -some of the bills contained particular injunc tions us to the style and manner in which they should be exe cuted, but they were sent home to those whose purposes they were intended - to serve. - Mr. SCARLETT contended, on this evidence, that Mr. Egan was clearly liable, as the printer looked to him, and not to the prize-fighters, on whose responsibility no reliance could be placed. • - Mr. BROUGHAM, for the defendant, contended that Mr. Egan, who, had merely from kindness lent his talents to those who were more able to strike than to write, had not made him self liable. but had given directions on behalf of the.boxers, to whom' lone the plaintiff was entitled to look. To sustain this, case, he called the clerk of the defendatu, who proved that the plaintiff requested . the defendant to recommend him to print for " those persons,” and afterwards called to inquire the .directions, ,that he might write to them fnr money. A card was also put in, containing a note by Mr. Westray. to Mr. _Egan, making the same inquiry. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 71. 7s. 64. - • • LONDON SESSIONS. Yesterday the adjourned Sessions were held at Guildhall: A woman named Harris, the wife of a prisoner confined in the Fleet-prison, was charged with having violently assaulted a person named Rogers, in the lodge of the prison. Upon the part of the prosecution it was proved that Mr. lin gers went to the . Fleet prison. to make a demand upon Harris, and was told he was in the lodge, into which he (Rogers) walked, with out.having the most distant idea of quarrelling. He was not, however, long in. the lodge, when Mrs. Harris, who had a pint of porter -in her hand, entered, and without ceremony threw the porter in Rogers's face, apd struck him several times. The prosecutor did not attempt to retaliate, although his anta gonist, was a complete Amazon in appearance, and struck as lard as some women will strike in defence or in support of their husbands. The example was one which was calculated to ex cite a dangereus spiritg insubordination in a prison like the Fleet, in which, are assembled so many unruly persons. Four witnesses confirmed this statement. For the Prisoner, it was stated by the turnkey, that when he (the witness) entered the lodge, he saw the prosecutor in the at titude of fighting, as well as other persons; that the row ceased . upon ,his telling the parties that they must retire from that. place, . and that the defendant seemed to have suffered very much, her handkerchief being tern from her neck, her gown being also torn, and several bruises having made their appear ance upon her person. The REcottnEts asked_ the turnkey some questions, from which' it was evident his Lordship supposed the man bad sworn that he saw the prosecutor in the act of fighting; and not merely in the attitude. The witness said the fighting was over when• he went into the lodge.. ." Why you swore just now that you saw TheRECORDER— them all fighting." 11r. PHILLIPS, who was Counsel for the defendant, assured his Lordship that the wi tness 4 said n o suc h t h ing. The RECORDER—He most certainly did, Mr. Phillips. He swore he saw the whole party fighting. Witness, how can you contradict what you have sworn to ?' Witness—l said no such thing, my Lord. I said they were done fighting when I went in. The RECORDER—You certainly, did swear they were all fighting. Mr. PHILLIPS.—I request your Lordship will look at your notes. You can find nothing of the kind there. I have been been attentive to every word that passed, and the witness most positively said nothing of the kind attributed to him by your Lordship. Two or three of the Jury immediately rose and said., they eertainly understood the witness to have said he saw the whole party lighting in the lodge. Two or three others of them then started u 1"), an d d ec l are d 'they understood no such thing. They beli eve d the witness to have said, he saw the person in the attitude, not in the act, of fighting. At this moment the Learned Judge, the Magistrates on the Bench, the Learned Counsel, the Jury, and the witness, were all speaking at the same time, but. the confusion was not of long duration. Sir JAMES SHAW, who sat as senior Alderman, said he was decidedly-of opinion that the witness had spoken of the atti tude of the party he had described, and not of their being in actual battle. lle was convinced that the man bad, on his ex amination by the Recorder, merely repeated what he had. said in the first instance. . _ Aldermen VENAnr.ts and MAc,wAY, the only other Alder- men on the bench, said their Opinion 'of the evidence- was I precisely similar to that of their brother Alderman. The case then went on. •Two women, who saw the defend_ who himself ant after the row, deposed that she had marks of violence upon her person. The RECORDER, in summing up,. represented to the Jury that the case of the prosecutor was supported by several, while the Aldermen, admitted ilfedthtehadteftehnedainilt;hvt.iansgswupar a . rt l e l d ov b e u r t w lz e o n n c h , e entered the lodge. -The Jury, after some consultation, returned a verdict of to keep under strict t ‘ G v o i l ul i d i the kind of RECORDER, eientiant th n a t ft t e i r l e h c antni s n e g q n co e n ?.. s c u e Intel' act of 0 f C ht h iel s e h d e had been convicted was always injurious to the peace o w rd as er i ctol )l" h t e n r ec to e fi nd s sary secprity. for her g ood 1 of the t p in ri n s s o . n , H w e hi t c h h en it behaviour, but omitted to pats judgment upon her, in the ope that what : had already occurred would be a lesson to her in the direction of her future conduct. POLICE INTELLIGENCE GUILMIALL.—Henry Targeti, the driver of the hackney_ chariot No. 1;035, %Vas charged before' Mr. Alderman Tuomp scat yesterday, by Mr. Martin, - M.P., with wantonly and. cruelly beating and ill-treating a horse in Corahill, on the 21st instant. Mr. Martin, it seems, found Coachee reposing on the steps of his vehicle, and had not seen the alleged ill-treatment cern_ mitred, but'observing ii weal extending along the body of one of the horses, threifeet in length, he accosted the defendant, by asking if ever he saw an animal exhibit a worse mark of violence in ilia 'life ? No, said Targett. 'Then ' according to Mr. 3lartitt's statement, the defendant admitted the weal pro . - ceeded froM a laahhe had himself .inflicted, and Mr. Martin founded his complaint on that admiSsion; . but Targett was now-ready to *Wear he bad never inflicted the blow, or made any. such admission.

Mr. Lee went on to state, that : when- he spoke to the defen dant in the way he had described,, the latter said he would knock his eye out, or give him a 'blow in the eye, he was not sure which, and he did strike him on the breast. Witness' then endeavoured to push hint froth his hoid„.of his brother and tile officer, and called to the officers to do their duty: They said they would, and finally Samuel Belasco was secured. Mr. Isaacs asked Mr. Lee if h, did not kick the defendant's brother. down ? Mr. Lee said he believed he pushed him with hii foot when he was down. Mr. Isaacs asked, with much warmth of manner, why Mr. Lee: had introduced his remark about Drury . -lane Theatre.---; Really this seemed to be a charge arising out of transactions at DrUry-lane Theatre, and not at Epsom race-course, and he should like tlrknow - what it Meant: " "-- • - Mr. ill iNstitTLL.—You-should. not be intemperate, Sir.

The ill.usage and the " umnediate desisting" of the defend ant were again positively deiiedby the witnesses.

Solomons and his Lady slept in a bed-chamber in the centro,of the building, and the yoUng ladies in the room joining. ItWas a maxim of Mrs. Solomons to leave one of e newly-invented floating lamps burning all night, and on S. ida, night slie as usual placed it, on going to bed, on her toilet.. About the time above stated; the young lathes were pre - vented froth going to sleep by a continual eracking and the • Smell of smoke. They at first thought but lightly of it; but on the latter increasing almost to stiffocation, they bee:fire exceed ingly alarrned, an d: jumping from their beds opened their chamber door, when they discovered that the house had taken fire, and the flames making a rapid progress up the great stair case. Their shrieks aroused the footman and coachman, who expected the house was beset by robbers, it being well known that Mr.' SolOrnons was always in possession of immense wealth, and under that impression they armed themselves •with fire arms,- expecting kidesperate . rencontre ; but the young La diett who at this IM:intent sought - their protection entered the .room almost in a state of nudity, and convinced them that the house was on tire. The, alarm-bell was then • rung, and the members of the establishment were warned of their perilous situation. Mr. and Mrs. Solomons were with the utmost dif-• ficul!y made sensible of their danger, and they were assisted ont at .thpgates,and placedin safety in the house adjoining.

The scene now assumed a most -frightful appearance, as the flames were bursting with terrific ascendancy through every window in the edifices and the female domestics were seen at the windows at the top of the house, - ;imploring assistance from those below to enable them to gain the street; but, unfortunately, none could be affinded them from the impetuosity of the devouring ele ment, and they were at length, by the inducement of the crowd, obliged'to drop from the roof of the house on fire on to that of the adjoining building, a height of 15 feet, which we are htippy to say-they effected Without .any material injury : two of the housemaids escaped out of the back windows, liy means of ladders. The distress of mind of Mr. Solomons and his family was indescribable t. and such was the fury of the element, that all efforts to save any part of the -superb household furniture, or, in fact, any.part„of the property in the house; proved in effectual. The enoines belonging to the Royal Exchange, - Alliance, Globe, -and ;other offices, arrived with all speed, but wo are.sorry..th say were considerably impeded in their powers. by no't Jiving good : supply - of water, consequ e ntly t h e i r .. effOrt:S . were scarcely visible.

'FIRE AT,CUMBEII.LAND. GARDENS. Fu erlitir PARTICULARS.-1 7 esteetiay morning these e4_' tensiv'e p - remises were totally consumed by fire. The fire was • discokredby two young men : returning home about 20 minutes' . before tour o'clock. They were passing over Vauxhall-bridge, • , -when. thef observed - smoke bursting from the roof just above the kitchen.. They immediately alarmed the persons who kePt. the tap, and having leaped•the garden pilings, they arosed the • inmates of the tavern.. In a short time the waiters and the fe males in the hotiSe. were - got down stairs,almost all without any ! other clothes than. those they -slept in. In a few minutes Mr. • Knott, Mr. Baily's partner in the tavern, returned from town, and he, with the assistance of the young men before mentioned, and others,•succeded: in saving the money and _books, in' the bar,, and_ ntberparts of the house, and almost all the bedding, furniture, '&c., with the . exception of one or two bedsteads. SheetS and blankets 'were • the only coverings that could be fur nished to :the females, • who were sheltered by the neighbours Messrs. Wisher, Smith, White, and Wells,, to whose houses, '-and those of others, what, property was saved was also taken. Having saved all that was possible; in which they encountered • Much danger, they, next turned their'attention to procuring en gines. Two of sir R. Burnett's were soon got into the garden ; but in consequence of the wind blowing very strongly down the 'river, the tide, which was at low ebb, and . muck lower_ than usual,- together with the' shortness of the engine-hoses, which • couldnotreach the water, these machines were useless. The .of the different fire-offices in town then arrived, but from.the saute cause were unable-to work for the long Period - of one - hour. and.l7 minutes. During this time, owing to the • • violet:ice of the wind and the quantity of wood in the building (the long robrn being entirely of that material and plaster); the flames were Making an astonishing rapid progress towards the ' destruction•of the whole premises, . At last the sun-fire float , ing engine arrived, and threw a „vast body of water on the .flames, while one of the Globe engines was got on the beach, and supplied one of the Westminster in the garden, by. joining; their hoses together, and thus enabled the latter to playon the flames. Notwithstanding these andother strenuous exertions; the roof of the ball-room tell in .at a quarter to six o'clock, and that of the tavern at about seven o'clock. The tavern part of the premises being of brick-work, might possibly. have been saved, but for the difficulty of procuring water.- Two Plugs of the South Lambeth water-works were opened, but for a considerable length of time they supplied no water. The un fortunate waiters, who lost their clothes, at first appeared so amazed and stupified, that they leant on the railings and were unable- to render any assistance for a considerable time; while some of the firemen seemed to be very willing to transfer the share of the labour to the zealous and active inhabitants of the neigh- bourliood;' who exeritd - theinselves to the utmost in •attempting to . mtbdue the flames. The only part of these extensive premises now standing, are part' of wall. and , a Stick -of chimnies ; under these are, the cellars containing the most valuable of the stock,' which, it •is to be •-tibped, will be found to - be but -.- little damaged. „Miss _Bally received a contusion by the fall- ing of part Of a bedstead on her.
