How full of thought ! simple and grand. in their truth, are these words, falling from the lips of the man who accep ted. po wer with the mission "to close the era of re vni.utions "—upon whom empire was conferred, and who proclaimed that it was " Peace—and chose first act, upon acoeesion to an almost despotic throne, was to seek the alliance of the freast peor e of Europe. With what patriotic dignity he has fulfilled his duties, with what honestykept to his engagements, we all know ; and of dj i the Potentates of Europe none owns a loftier 0r a more popular fame than the present Monarch of France. The power con ferred on hint by t he will of the French people was, we have just sa id, almost despotic. But Napoleon was not the wa n to become a despot. If ho ac cepted power, it was not for th e idl e an d i n f amous purpose of ruling, robbing, and ruining a great people, bu t rather t o h ea l t h e wounds of repeated doweati° conflicts, to crush license and extinguish fiction , that he might raise anew the political edif i c e, "to be crowned," as he has declared, with „vberty." Of his sincerity what proof more convincing than that he refused the territorial aggrandisement which he might have purchased when, had he joined the despotic alliance of Russia, and by con niving at her designs in the East, and delivering Eastern Europe into the power of the Autocrat, he might have seized upon and secured th© West as his own. But Louis Napoleon is no despot. He is the first of Frenchmen—the living embodiment of the will of the French people, with whom, on all occasions, he identifies himself. He is the repre sentative of the nation which has shed so much blood, and suffered so repeatedly for " Liberty," and, in accordance with the national spirit, he has spurned theft and the temptations of Nicholas, and has refused to betray the French people and the liberties of Europe. Instead of this, he has allied himself closely with us in the cause of right, repu diating conquest and self-aggrandisement—drawing the sword in defence of the weak, for the re storation of the balance of power, and the perma nent freedom of Europe. In the great struggle which we have undertaken, with God's blessing, we shall succeed ' • but when we have triumphed—when w e h a v e hurled back the legions of Russia—when we have annihilated her power in the Black Sea and the Baltic, to what great results may we not look. Well may Louis Napoleon call our alliance " the Rainbow of Liberty," full of promise to Europe. How great a thing will it not be for Italy—for Austria—for all Germany, when they are freed from the deadening influences of Russia. Well may Napoleon foretell the "destruction of despotism," when it has been struck to the heart in its great stronghold. Austria must then adopt a more liberal policy. No Russian hosts will again crush Hungary. The intrigues of despotism against Sardinia must come to an end ; that State which owes its existence at this moment to France and England need then no longer dread the suppression of its free institutions. Naples and Tuscany, Bavaria and Saxony, with all the petty Potentates of Bamberg, will be freed from the influence which has instigated them to ill, and which has supported them in it. The Rainbow of Liberty is in the skies, and the nations of Europe will accept with avidity and gratitude the blessed boon given to them, and guaranteed by the two Great Western Powers. Whilst making these reflections, it is impossible for us not to recall, with just pride, that, from the first, we saw and understood the character and policy of Louis Napoleon, and we may be excused if we indulge the expression of our heartfelt satis faction at the great and cordial alliance which is at this moment the admiration of the world—an alliance which we have uniformly used our strong est endeavours and the whole of our humble influ. ence to promote. We do not wish to recall the faults or follies of others. But we are proud in the reflection that, as in other matters, so in the matter of foreign policy, and more especially with regard to France and the French Emperor, this journal has maintained, through good report and through evil report, a steady, a consistent, and an English course.—Morning Post. 1 THE WORKING MAN. --- When we entered upon our great European war, our population was less than half what it is now. Lavish as was the squandering of trea sure the expenditure of blood was greater. Iu the Army and Navy, not less than five hundred thousand of our most able-bodied producers were drawn from the labour to the killing market ; and yet, withal, our productive powers increased so rapidly (almost in the ratio of the decrease iu our workers) that the waste was more than supplied bythe increase; and we fought Napoleon, the great weaver in the loom of fate, with our weavers iu cotton and in wool. Money was found whenever money was wanted for the purpuse of destruction ; and yet it was never deaf to the calls of commerce. We have now more than double the capital we then possessed f and a great deal more than double the population —yet we are greatly more sensitive to the perils of war—our funds and our trade are in a far inure nervous state. We seem as if we could bear the drain of hostilities less easily—the burden of taxa tion less lightly—the drafts upon our population less conveniently. Consols tumble to 85 upon the mere rumour of a " brush with the Russians"—stock of all kinds suffers sudden and extensive fluctuation and reduction ; and although the workhouses are practically empty, the security of the supply of labour is " a mote to trouble the mind's eye." When a stone-mason can get two guineas a day in Australia, and a common "from hand-toemouth." Irish bog-trotter can become a landed proprietor in America there is nothing ind ee d t o create sur prise in this. When also it is remembered that free trade has emancipated the sons of toil perma nently from all exorbitance of price for the neces saries of life—has greatly reduced the taxes on con sumption and production, transferring them to rea lised property, and has opened the commerce of the world to us just at the very nick of time of the gold discoveries of California and A ustralia, it follows with the direct sequence of a corollary, that the condi tion of the manual workers of the world should be elevated in a ratio much more comparatively great than that of any other class. Nor do we see any prospect of reaction, or of a future glut. Emigra tion grows by what it feeds on. One settler gives courage to and facilities for another. The home heart goes across the broad Atlantic, or doubles the Cape with the sons, mothers, or sisters that have wandered thither ; the home affection rises on the **het of the hearth of mere nationality. Then trade and commerce gradually follow the stream of mov ing human life. The diggers of nuggets, and the fellers of the great forests draw around them para sitical trades, and ancillary caterers for their wants and appetites—the preponderance first, the equilli brium afterwards, of affection and population to the old country is overcome ; and we see that in Ireland cheap laud and high wages fail to arrest the migra tory instincts, or the new convictions of the people. At last they even prefer poorer fare in the new re gion of their fanay, to improved conditions in the country of their birth. Perhaps the facts we see around us now account for the mysterious decay of great nations. A hankering after " untried being" becomes a furor of flight, and sugeestions of self-interest utterly fail to arrest the desire fur change. It cannot be that labour should go, and that capital, enterprise, and ability, or skill, should remain behind. The brain-worker must have his tools. The merchant must follow his customers. The seller must go where buyers have money. Where the carcase is there will the eagles be ga thered. We are, in this old , vorlcl and this old country, in a state just now of most critical transi tion. Following on free trade, emigration and the Pactolus streams which have flowed in upon Europe from the West and South, have arisen a series of strikes of the most extensive description, and omi nously protracted duration. These do not betray any symptoms of subsidence or exhaustion. In fat c, we must expect them to grow and strengthen. The most universally abundant harvest ever known to the furthest reach of universal history has not only been grown but gamed ; and with bread cheap and capital set at liberty for commercial purposes, it is quite obvious that the working man can at once live upon less and exact more ' • the great co n diti ons of scarcity i n th e supp l y of labour and consequent increase of its price. It will require a steady hand arid a wise head to hear this overflowing cup steadily to the lips. Nothing but the sagacity of significantt he a heure fa r s,3 can save him from the great injury of all other el re munerated es . , and the ruin of his own.

AND F.RA.IVVE. I ' the tailor and hosier on his clothes. At first sight, indeed, this seems to result merely in a theory of , compensation. But under a system of free trade its end must be the ruin of trade. Our chief, in deed our sole, dependence for progress, for exist ence as a nation, is on our foreign trade. We have long ceased to supply ourselves with food and other articles of necessity from our own resources alone. We consume at least sixty millions' worth of foreign necessaries annually, besides all the raw materials of our chief manufactures. These must all be paid for, and foreigners will not pay for what we produce more than they can get the ar ticles for elsewhere. If, therefore, strikes present difficulties in the way of our capitalists, and exor bitant wages force up our prices beyond the level of the market of the world, it is not difficult to foresee that our trade must be destroyed, that our capital must go abroad for investment, and that our workers must follow, reducing by their com petition the wages it was their great object to force up. A reaction, indeed, will thereby follow, and an opportunity be once more opened in this country for the revival of our productive industry. But all too late. Tho convulsions and hazards of former speculations will frighten capitalists from the field, and the continent of Europe, but more certainly the United States, will raise their com merce on the ruins of our folly. Let it be clearly seen, therefore, by our readers of the working classes that—First, No single trade can long enjoy a rate of wages greatly in excess of those of other classes. Even the colliers will attract persons from less liberally rewarded employments; their em ployers will invent contrivances for overcoming the resistance of their tyrants, and the high price of the article will cheek the demand. Second — If all trades have their wages raised, none will benefit by 3 general change of level, seeing that the increased wages received with the one hand will be absorbed by the enhanced price of commodities paid with the other. Third--. While no substan tial improvement in the absolute condition of the labourers will flow from a general exorbitancy of wages, the cost of production will thereby be so raised above the level of that of the rest of the world, that we will be gradually eaten out of neutral markets and driven even from our own, unless we return to that productive policy which to us would be the end of all things—our exclusion from the circle of the European system and our ultimate certain ruin. Not even in the "time of the Corn Laws was there as much need of sending the schoolmaster abroad to teach the people the great elementary principles of political economy. Lord Carlisle would do more good by lecturing on Adam Smith than on Pope ; and if Mr. Dickens must go a humanity-mongering, he would show more useful philanthropy in recom mending sound economical principles than dishing up stupid social prejudices to delegates and turn outs. But we forget—Mr. Dickens has found out that every thing useful must be unprincipled and pernicious. At least there is nothing very useful in " Hard Times "—and, sooth to say, little that is ornamental.—Dispatch. a public house. Elphick and Fenn said they were going to be married, and they promised to find use a home if anything happened. Subsequently to these transactions, in the absence of Mr. Sugden and family, Elphick came home in a state of intoxication, with a loaded pistol, which he dis charged at the complainant, and s t ruc k h er i n t h e neck, and she fell down ; but, upon her getting up again, she went to Mr. Farrington's, who found her neck bleeding, and applied something to it. The Hon. and Rev. Arthur Sugden (in whose ser vice two of the prisoners are) deposed that on the 13th August the family retired to rest between half-past nine and ten, it being intimated to the servants that they could go to bed too. The Rev. Mr. Pigott slept at the rectory that night, in a room adjoining that occu pied by the prosecutrix, and not more than eight feet from where she was actually lying. He should think that if there had been anything wrong, Mr. Pigott must have heard it. Suspecting on the 21st August something was going on wrong, witness went up stairs, when h e h ear d a strugg li ng and a voice say, "Let me alone, Georve." Some one opened the door, hut it was immediately closed, and the struggling recommenced. Witness was about to open the door, when the prisoner Maria Fenn came out, hav ing her hair dishevelled. He at once called her and Elphick into a room, and, after animadverting on their conduct, gave the latter notice to leave. Maria Fenn gave witness notice. After hearint some other evidence, and Mr. Sadler for the prisoner Elton, - - The Chairman said that, after a patient investigation, the bench had come to the determination of committing the whole of the prisoners for trial. The prisoners were then committed for trial at the spring assizes, and the various witnesses were bound over to prosecute. George Eltan was admitted to bail in two sureties of 2501. each. SPORTING NOTES. DOINGS AT DONCASTER (MONDAY NIGHT.) Bipeds and quadrupeds are arriving in rapid succes sion, and the High -street is already thronged by the usual miscellaneous assemblage of sporting characters. Subscribers begin to drop into the Betting-room, where I am now writing, the din of tongues is gradually in creasing, and the popping of corks is heard at frequent intervals. Business, however, has not yet commenoed in earnest, but a brisk "skirmishing" cGnversation is carried on among little groups of turlites with consi derable animation and spirit. As the night advances it is expeeted that the opponents of the favourite will make a " sortie," and carry the position by a well directed assault. I, however, can perceive that his par tizans are prepared to make a stand against the most determined "bombardment." Rumours are circulated with surprising rapidity, and touts are continually beckening people mysteriously aside, a►nd whispering " good things" in their ear. Opi nions are still divided about Scott's lot, and the shout of an Acrobat to the rascue is continually raised. The confidence, however, which the supporters of the crack evince is not a little staggerine,. lam informed that there was no mistake in his trial ; after the York meeting, it is said, he was again put through the mile, and with a satisfactory result. lam told that he beat Acrobat cleverly by a length. Of Dervish, I can learn nothing worth cornmunicatiog ; that he will run is very proba'de. An opinion evidently obtains that the Trapper's party are likely to amalgamate their interest with that of Boi ardo's. Be this rumour well-founded or not, I shall still stick to his colours. That the Trapper is not warmly fsncicd by the "talent" is evident, and many people— good judges too —say he is "all legs and wings." As a setoff, however, there are persons whose opinion I valueunhesitatingly, who express their belief in his ability to pull through. Of course lam not acquainted with the private arrangements which his owner may have made. The Knight of St. George is generally liked, but they who have seen him still hint doubts as to his staying powers. The late hour at which I arrived this afternoon has of course prevented my " taking stock" of the animals already located in the town. By the way, Frank Butler is here, looking quite well and strong. He is, lam informed, within a few pounds the Leger weight, and the probabilities of his sporting Lord Derby's colours are not very remote. John Scott's lot came in this evening. The Stakes, which closed this afternoon, obtained un usually large entries, and the prospect of a surpassingly successful meeting is unmistakingly perceptible. For the Cup there are twenty-nine nominations, including Virago, Rataplan, Rabgill, Typee. Autocrat, Grand In quisitor, Andover, t West Australian, Boiardo, Acrobat Dervish, Kingston, and Knight of St. George. After all, this formidable entry may not include the winner of the St. Leger, for the name of the Trapper does not, strange to say, appear among the nominations. The race will be regarded with peculiar interest, and even should the redoubtable Virago start, I shall with much confidence expect to see West Australian achieve his crowning success: The opinion which I have expressed on the St. Leger I am disinclined to change, although, with respect to Boiardo, it is slightly modified. Time will not allow me to throw more rough notes together. A FRESH MAN. Betting Rooms, Doncaster, Monday Night, 10 o'clock. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERS...ILL'S-1110NDAY.

Mr. Hume arrived in , this town on Thursday about noon, according to appointment, accompanied by Sir George Sinclair, Bart., in the carriage of the latter gen tleman, and proceeding to the public buildings went up to the town and County Hall, where the council had already, assembled to receive theirdistinguished visitors. There was a large attendance of councillors ; Provost Rhind in the chair. A. numerous audience filled the Council-room, and among th e gen tl eme n present were Sheriff Thomson, Sheriff Russel, - Captain -- Tudor,: Samiiel Smith, Esq., A. H. Rind, Esq., jun., of Sib ster, ikc. When Mr. Hume and Sir George entered the Hall, every one rose and _welcomed them with loud cheers. Mr: Hume and Sir George took their places on the right and left band of the Provost respectively. After silence had been restored the Provost rose and addressed-Mr. Hume; giving him a sincere and cordial welcome to Wick, expressing the high appreciation enter tained by the Council, and by all, for his manly consis tency of character, and his persevering advocacy of those principles for the exposition of which he had so long and energetically laboured. The Provost then, amid much cheering, presented the hon. gentleman with the burgess ticket, conferring the freedom of the burgh. Mr. Hume then rose, and was received with loud and prolonged appl a u se . Af ter a f ew preliminary remarks, and- reerring to -the friendship which had existed be tween Sir G. Sinclair and himself for a period of 43 years, Mr. Hume went over a portion of his public career, alluding to his early life, the death of his father when he was still a boy, and his being obliged to de pend on his own exertions, unassisted, save by his mother, the widow of a sea captain. He then referred to education. Before entering Parliament he hsd been three years engaged advocating the system of Joseph Lancaster, of whose committee he formed a member. That was the time when it was .a debateable point whether it was a good thing or an evil to educate the people. It was allegactley those in the enjoyment of political power that, give the people information and the hold over them would be loosened, and they would become dan gerous subjects: But his answer to this was, the people have rights. Educate them, and they can . know and obtain those rights to which they are entitled. He re gretted that any religious difference should interfere with what should be enjoyed by all, but the time was not far distant when ignorance, with the crime and vice which are its consequences, would be greatly modified. Referring to his general political principles, he re marked that on the first great governing principles Sir George Sinclair and himself were agreed. That " that was the best Government which produced the greatest amount of good to the greatest number" had been a maxim of his (Mr. Hume's) friend, Mr. Jeremy Bentham ; it had also been his, and was so still. Alluding to his efforts in the cause of re form, and the opposition he bad met, he said he had been charged with a design to pull down King, Lords, and Commons, - in order that he might secure something for himself in the general scramble. This had been proved to be wrong, and he was quite right after all. He would have gone farther than the bill of 1832, and he hoped in another year to see a large mass added to the electoral body. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Hume also mentioned the assistance he had received in Montrose when the reform excitement was at its height, by the fact of there being a committee of working men in favour of the movement. In 1818 he owed- his re turn to working men, and by them he had been en abled to keep his place. He went to Middlesex for three years, but he soon returned to his old love, with whom he hoped he should not quarrel, but remain as long as his career continued. He mentioned his lay ing open of the public accounts, and his - early attempt at free trade, in his demand to throw open the East India trade in 1813. M onopo l y was now all passing away. Referring to reform, he said electors required to reform . themselves, and not pester mem bers to get places for themselves dr their relatives, as was too 'often attempted. He spoke of his antagonism to sinecureships, which were often paid out of the pockets of the poor man, whose poverty entitled him to more protection. .In the civil service, the army, and the the navy, he had been the means of effecting a beneficial change, but he had failed in destroying sinecurisin in the Church. But that he hoped would yet come. He feelingly alluded to Sir Robert Peel, and the recognition by that statesman of the principles of free trade, for which M r . H ume had contended f or years. After some further ob servations, he again thanked the Provost and coun cillors for the honour they bad conferred on him, and sat down amid much and warm applause, which was frequent throughout his address. Sir G. SINCLAIR followed, and in an eloquent speech went over some of the remarkable events of Mr. Huine's life, the general respect which he had acquired, and also ' mentioned his amiable qualifications in private and family zelations. Sir George was repeatedly and loudly applauiled. The l'uoyoar thereafter declared the meeting at an end. The magistrates and slew of th• gentlemen present at the meeting afterwards had luncheon in Provost Rhind's house. SHIPPINu INT E L LIGENCE. CUSTOAI-HOUSE, STMT. 11.

[ADVER TISEMENT.]--Hollo way's Ointment and Pills, a most excellent Remedy for Abscesses and Old Wounds. —Thomas Edwards, a labourer in Portsmouth Dock yard, received a severe hurt in his thigh about four years back, by a piece of timber falling on him. An abscess formed in consequence of the injury, which defied the most eminent surgeons to heal, and he was consequently pronounced incurable, and put on the superannuated list with a pension. Being now at liberty to try other remedies, he commenced using Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which have so effectually cured him that he enjoys good health, and is as well able to work as any man.— Sold by all vendors of rindicilics, and at Professor laolloway'S Establialsincitit, 20, Strand, 16244030 COUNTRY MARKETS.

No one who has thought on the subject would at tempt dogmatically to predict the price of wheat any more than to forte' future events of any other kind. Unlooked-for circumstances may occur, which may scatter to the winds the most subtle calculations. Not to look further than the obvious vicissitudes in the price of all commodities contingent on the success or other wise of the war in which we aro engaged with Russia, it is evident that an approximation to a reasonable opi• Mon as to the future price of wheat in this country is•all that can be attained. We may, however, advert to a few of the particulars which must influence the price of our staple article of national consumption. The rapid fall in the price of wheat during the past few weeks is one of the most remarkable ever known. A decline of not less than 10a. a quarter has in various places occurred between one market day and another. Wheat, which early in the year reached from 90s. to 100 s. a quarter, may now be obtained for from 60s. to 565. a quarter. Here for the present there is a pause. The London market of Wednesday is reported to have been steady at the decline of Monday. Whence is this extraordinary decline ? It must be attributed to the authentic intelligence which has reached this epuntry of the excellent crops on the continent and in the United States, together with the ascertained fact that our own harvest will Le both good in quality and abundant in quantity. Nor must the general sound ness and extent of the potato crop be overlooked. The potato enters so largely into the consumption of the working classes, that the abundance or deficiency of this esculent exercises a decided influence cn the price of wheat. It seems now to be pretty generally admitted that the recent high price of wheat is not in any great measure to be attributed to the effects of the war. The blockade has not prevented large quantities of wheat finding its way from Russia to the rest of Europe. hut there are other mot important causes in opera tion. Under protection, wide an abundant harvest and a restricted currency, wheat sank in 1835 to an average fur the year of 39s , t 1 a quarter. Under free trade, the yearly average for 1351 was 33s Gd it quarter. We are now under different circumstances. The gold discoveries of California and Australia tend to keep up the prices all over the world. They do so principally iia two ways—by providing money sufficient to allow trade and commerce to flourish and expand, and by lowering the price of gold as measured in the great article of human consumption throughout the civilised world—corn. Let our agricultural friends then take courage. We incline to the opinion that wheat will not sink to the low level which it did when they had protection alone to depend on, ncr to that which it did under the free trade system, unmitigated by the beneficial effects of that providential discovery of gold which is one of the most important occurrences of this most eventful period. The outpouring of gold--itself an event of comparative insig nificance, for how little the wealth of nations depends on the acquisition of this metal, ruined and impoverished Spain evidences--the out-pouring of gold throughout the world, by correcting the prevalent false systems of money, and particularly the absurd and injurious sys tem established by Peel's Bills in our own country, has worked, and is still working, most advantageously for the agriculturist as well as for the merchant and the manufacturer. We have 13 millions of gold in the Bank, the French Bank has 19 millions,--British India has, it is said, no less than 16 millions of specie in its treasu ries. These accumulations, with the expected imports, will, we trust, keep panic and penury from our doors for the present.—Derbyshire Courigr. VIOLATION OF A GIRL. DORKING, MONDAY.—This little village has for the past few days been in a state of great excitement, in consequence of Mr. George Elton, aged 15, brother-in law of the Hon. and Rev. A. Sugden, of Newdigate, Surrey, and George Elphick, aged 20, groom to the hon. gentleman, being charged before Mr. Charles Barclay and Mr. George Cubitt, county magistrates, with having committed a rape upon the person of a girl named Elizabeth Crauley, aged 16, a house-maid in the employ of Mr. Sugden ; and Maria Fenn, aged 23, a cook in the same establishment, was also charged with aiding and abetting in the commission of the same offence. The following evidence was adduced, after three ad. journments : Mary Elizabeth Crauley deposed--I am sixteen years old, and am in the service of the Honourable and Reve rend Mr. Sugden, of Newdigate, as a housemaid. I have lived with him about two months. The first time any liberty was taken with me was on Sunday, the 13th of August. About ten o'clock, after the family had gone to bed, on the same evening I went out to the village, and called at Mr. Farrington's, and when I came back I found Charles George Elton and George Elphick smoking and drinking in Elphick's room, and Maria Fenn with them. I sat down with them, and stopped some time. I asked Maria Fenn if she was going to bed. She said " Yes," and we both walked into our room, and whilst we were undressing, Elton came through our bedroom to go to his own, there being no other way execpt down-stairs and up ano.her staircase. After Elton had gone through I locked the door, leaving the key inside. We then put out the candle and got into bed. Shortly afterwards Elphick entered our room and unfastened Elton's bed-room door and let him in, and said to him, "You get in on Crau ley's side." I replied, "If you do, I shall tell Mr. Sugden." Elton then got into teed, and Elphick on the side of Maria FOWL Elphick then leaned over Maria Fenn and took bold of my arms and one of my legs, and whilst I was struggling and screaming, Maria Fenn put her hand on m y mou th, Elton at th same time having his knees on my chest. Elphick then got hold of Maria Fenn by the waist and the hair of her head, and carried her into his bed-room, and in their absence Elton accomplished his purpose. During that time I screamed for assistance, but Maria Fenn said she could not come, for Elphick would not let her. Eiton then left, and went into his own room. I then got up and went to Elphick's room, and found Maria Fenn in bed. I remained in the room because I did not wish Elton to be in my room again. I was at this time sitting by the window. After that I went into my own room, leaving Elphick and Fenn in bed. Elton came through my room again to go to his own. As he was coming through I re quested hint to ask Maria Fenn if she was coming to bed again. After Elton bad gone through, I went into the bed-room, and Elphick told me " I should be in the family-way " unless I allowed hint to repeat the offence. He asked Maria Fenn if it would not be so. She at first replied in the negative, but afterwards said, "Yes," and both persuaded me that it would be better for me if I allowed it. I said "I (lid not wish it, and if it was it would not be my wish." I then went into my own room and got into bed. Elphick came in afterwards and got into bed, and notwithstanding my cries and resistance he accomplished his purpose. Alter that Elphick left me, and I went to sleep. I did not tell any one about it till Mr. Farrington had said that there was a rumour of an 'unpleasant nature in circulation. Elphick and Fenn told me not to tell any one, for if I did it would be the worse for me. The first person I spoke to respecting the circumstance was Mr. Farrington, on Saturday, the 2d September. He said he had heard comethity. ! , about me. I then told him about it, and what Elphick had done to me on Sunday evening, the 13t1} of August last. When I raw the policeman I re que.ti.Qd him to take Elphick into custody in consequence of v4 . hat he had been boasting that lae had done to me at MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. The September General Sessions of the Peace for the county of Middlesex commenced yesterday at Hicks's Hall, Clerkenwell-green, before Mr. Bodkin. acting as assistant-judge, and a bench of magistrates. There were for trial 85 prisoners charged with felony, and 12 charged with misdemeanour, making a total of 97. Thomas Drew, 24, labourer, Jacob Kellen?, 41, water man, and Caroline Johnson, 26, were indicted for steal ing 16 sovereigns and three knives from the person of James Thorn, a sailor. The jury, after a short deliberation, acquitted the prig Willizm John Hamilton, a respectable-looking la.], sixteen years of age, wa.k. indicted for unlawfully at tempting to obtain, by fat=e pretences, from Louisa Vivian, the sum of one shilling, the money of John Vivian, with intent to cheat him thereof. He had been on bail, and now surrendered and pleaded guilty. Mr. Bodkin sentenced him to one mouth's imprison ment, one week solitary. James Connor, 20, labourer, and James Hanny, 23, sailor, were indicted for having feloniously assaulted George Cairns and robbed him of four sovereigns and other moneys. Tue jury found them both guilty. Mr. Witham said they were a pair of most desperate scoundrels, and sentenced them each to 14 years' trans portation beyond the seas. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. M.A , .NSION-HOUSE.—N ; arious contributions having been acknowledged for the emigrants' fund, Sir R. W. Carden, in banding in his list of subscribers, said—l think it incumbent upon nue to state that, although the public have come forward liberally upon this occasion, I regret to be obliged to observe that the sum at present contributed is quite inadequate to th© great object, of sending the emigrants to their respective destination& I hope that, under such extreme circum stances, involving the very existence of nearly 200 of our fellow-creatures, icto the case of every one of whom strict inquiries have been made, resulting advantageously to their characters, the energetic aid of the affluent and humane contributors to the great charities of the metropolis, will be exhibited in a more unquestionable shape. I hope and believe that those powerful advocates of undeserved distress who may now be in different parts of the country enjoying the blessings which a boun tiful Providence has placed at their command for cha ritable distribution, and who have upon so many occa sions shown that the power has been gratefully received, will not at the moment forget the poor emigrants who have lost all their honest earnings in the struggle to ob tain in a distant land the means of preventing them from being a burden on their native country. BOW-STlEET.—&trussel Allen, a Jew, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Jardine, charged with obtaining goods to th?. value of nearly 1,0001. from various trades men by false pretences. It appeared that Allen, having become the tenant of a house in E.v-street, adjoining the polies station, repre sented that he was about to open it as a casino. Builders and decorators were employed to adapt the premises ac cordingly, and orders were given, chiefly to foreigners, to supply the rooms with mirrors, chandeliers, massive furniture, marble tablets, figures, and other sculpture, kc. B. stating that he had obtained a license to open the premises as a house of entertainment and dancing saloon, and by advancing a few pounds in one or two cases, he succeeded in getting the goods into his pos session ; but he had no sooner accomplished this object th tin his efforts were directed to the disposal of the same goods, in various quarters, for whatever amount he could obtain for them. Police:constable 27 N, n•iio had been endeavouring to trace the property, was returning through the Lower road, Islington, on Saturday :fternoon, when his eye happened to alight upon the prisoner and his wife, who were taking refreshments outside of a tavern. Mr. Lawrence Levy, the prisoner's solicitor, com plained that his client had been locked up since Saturday upon no legal charge. Ft was a mere affair of debt and credit, and if people thought fit to trust his client with their eyes open, they must chide the con-equencee. Mr. Jardine said the question was, whether the goods were supplied upon the faith of Allen's representation that he had got a licence to open the house, which was not the fact. His worship then remanded the prisoner till Saturday, intimating that he would accept bail if proper securities could he produced. The prisoner was committed in default. INSULTING OFFICERS OF THE 46th. Yesterday morning, at the Town-hall, 'Windsor, be fore the Mayor (Mr. J. T. Bedborough), Mr. Alderman Snowden, and Mr. Alderman Berridge, a lad, named Thomas Simms, was charged with insulting Major Max well and Adjutant M'Alester, of the 46,1 Regiment. The magistrates' chamber was crowded, as also were the ante-room, the staircase, and the passages leading to the hall. Mr. Voules, who appeared for the defendant, asked whether the boy had been received as a prisoner at the police-station ? Superintendent Eagar answered in the affirmative, but added that the defendant was bailed out. Mr. Voules intimated that the question had been asked more with a view to ulterior proceedings than as bear ing upon the present case. Major Maxwell was then sworn, and deposed as fol lows :—Yesterday afternoon I was in the High-street with Mr. M'Alester. I heard the words " You don't recollect, do you ?" Mr. M'Alester turned round im mediately ; so did I. I saw a civilian run off at once, down the street. Mr. M'Alester called to an orderly who was behind us to catch him. This was done; he was brought back and handed over to the police. The defendant is the person I allude to. I may as well state that my object is not to have the lad punished on the contrary, I hope he may be discharged ; but I and other officers have been so frequently insulted in th i s way, o f l a t., by lads, that I thought this was a good opportunity of showing that such insults could not be offered with impunity. I thought the magistrates might give the lad advice and admonition which he would com municate to other lade. Mr. Voules said he was very much obliged to Major Maxwell, inasmuch an it rendered any defence of his client unnecessary- The offence charged was no offence in law, but he must say that whatever might have occurred in another place was nothing now, and gentle- men in the position of the complainants ought not to be annoyed. Major Maxwell said it might be no offence against ' the law, but it was an offence against the feelings. The Mayor said it wa s perfectly clear that the charge, as stated by Major M axwell, constituted no offence in law. The words us e d b y the defendant m i ght or m i ght net apply to recent transactions, and the defendant must be discharged. would add, however, that the magistrates would be most happy to put a stop to any annoyance which might be offered to the officers or sol diers in garriso n ; and he had already given strict orders to the police th a t if any disturbance arose to take the parties into cu s t o d y- Any person brought before him under such ci rcumstances would be bound over to keep the peace. He hoped the lad before them would bear this in mind, and warn his youthful companions that they do not f or t h e future, either by word or by deed, insult any person, whether officer or civilian. Mr. Voules concurred in all that had been said by the mayor, but added that he had been assured by the boy himself that the expression, "I don't recollect—do you I" was addressed by him to another boy, and had no reference to recent proceedings. The Mayor (addressing the audience) .said that the observations he had addressed to Simms applied to all presont. It was highly desirable, in every way, that no disturbance should take place between the townTeople and the military.
