At the Middlesex Sessions, yesterday, John Harding appealed against a conviction of Mr. Hardwick, police magistrate, for an offence under the Act for the Sup pression of Betting-houses, 16 and 17 Vic., c. 119. Mr. Huddlestone appeared for the appellant, and Mr. Bell, of the Midland Circuit, in support of the convic tion. The conviction set forth that "he the said John Har ding did assist in conducting the business of a room in the house No. 22, Panton-street, in the parish of St. Martin-in•the-Fields, in the, county of Middlesex, &c., the said room being used for the purpose of betting with persons resorting thereto, and did, on the 4th day of July aforesaid, in the said room, unlawfully receive of and from one Lionel Benjamin Rayner a sum of money (to wit), the sum of ten shillings, as a deposit on a bet, on condition of paying thereafter a sum of money (to wit), the sum of three pounds, on the happening of an event relating to a horse race, contrary to the statute, &c. ; and I adjudge the said John Harding, forhis said offence, to forfeit and pay the sum of fifty pounds." The alter native in case of default was three months' imprison. ment in the House of Correction. Mr. Huddlestone submitted that the conviction was 'bad on the face of it, as there were two distinct and separate offences set forth. Under the 3d section of the act, it was an offence for the owner or occupier of any house, room, office, or other place, to permit the same to be opened or used for the purpose of betting ; and any person aiding or assisting in the management of the same was also to be deemed guilty of an offence, for which a penalty not exceeding one hundred pounds was to be inflicted. Now the 4th section provided that any per son, being the owner or occupier of any such place so used, or any person acting on their behalf, or any per son having the care or management, or in any way as sisting in the management or conducting of the business thereof, who should receive, directly or indirectly, any money or valuable thing as a deposit on a bet on con dition of paying a sum of money or valuable thing on the happening of any event or contingency of or re lating to any horse race, or other race, &c., should be deemed guilty of an offence, for which, upon conviction, a penalty not exceeding 501. might be imposed. He contended, therefore, that the conviction was bad for duplicity and uncertainty, because the double offence of keeping the place and taking a deposit was set forth, and the adjudication was for "the said " offence. It might be suggested that to support the conviction it was necessary to allege that a person committing an offence under section 4 came within the provisions of section 3 ; but the allegation in this conviction was not by way of recital, but a positive averment of two offences—sone under the 3d section, and one under the 4th. Mr. Bell called the attention of the court to the 14th section of the act, which he submitted would meet the objection. The Assistant Judge, after referring to such sections of the act as were applicable to the case, and to the conviction, said that he was afraid Mr. Huddlestone was right, and the conviction must be quashed. . Quashed accordingly. BANKRUPTS. William Andrew Meyer, licensed victualler, Dartford, Kent, to surrender, Nov. 13, at eleven, and Dec. 11, at half-past eleven, at the Court of Bankruptcy.

To insure, as far as possible, a compliance with these regulations, not only when stamped publications are in the first instance transmitted through the post, but also upon any subsequent posting of them, it is suggested that they should have a short notice to pur chasers printed upon the title page, drawing attention to the necessity of exposing the newspaper stamp to view, whenever they are sent through the post. 4. As publications of this kind cannot be forwarded to places abroad under the newspaper privilege, unless they be posted within seven days from the date of pub lication, it is necessary that they should in every case have the date of publication conspicuously printed upon them. 5. It is advisable that no stamped publication, if it nearly approach to the prescribed limit of weight, should be post e d i n a d amp state ; as, w hil st i n that con d it ion, it may be found to exceed three ounces, and, therefore, to be liable to charge. 6. It must be understood that the formal permission of the Postmaster-General will still be necessary in the first instance, in order to the transmission of any stamp ed publication, not strictly a newspaper, through the post under the newspaper privilege. 7. No stamp will be required on any supplement to the publication entitled Lloyd's List, provided such pub lication bear al newspaper stamp, and the supplement be sent with it. ROWLAND HILL, Secretary.

Baring, M.P. ; Mr. G. C. Glyn, M.P. ; Mr. Thomas Hankey, M.P. ; Mr. S. Gregson, M.P. ; Mr. M. T. Smith, M.P.; Mr. J. G. Hubbard, Governor of the Bank of England ; Mr. T. M.

Frith, Mr. H. J. Prescott, dze. The LORD MAYOR said he could not agree with those who thought we were approaching the close of a mo mentous struggle. On the contrary, he was afraid that we were only at the commencement of a great European war. (Hear, hear.) He had received many letters, enclosing liberal cheques in aid of the object for which they had met ' • but it was only right to s a y h e h a d also received several others, stating that the writers could not conscientiously subscribe to such a fund, be cause they considered it to be the bounden duty of the Government to provide for those who fell in battle. (Hear, hear.) But whatever might be the - abstract right of that proposition, there was no statute by which relief of that kind could be afforded, and there could thus be no such national provision as those per sons contemplated. (Hear, hear.) Reason, judgment, and justice alike declared the war to be a necessary one ; and if we duly valued our national privileges— if we prized, as we ought, the freedom of which we were the inheritors, and the constitutional principles, the extension of which so many expected as one of the results of the war—we should feel ourselves bound to act liberally and justly towards those brave And patriotic men who bad volunteered to go forth to a distant clime, to endure hardship and to meet perils of which we at home could form nothing but the faintest idea. (Cheers.) He felt cer tain that the citizens of the present day would not allow themselves to be surpassed by those of the last half cen tury. Forty or fifty years ago the citizens of London had set an example of patriotic benevolence to the whole world ; and he trusted that they would again repeat that example, and make a liberal response to the appeal of her Majesty's commissioners. (Loud cheers.) His lordship then stated that he had received a great num ber of letters of apology—amongst others from the Arch bishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London, who both pleaded diocesan engagements. He had also re ceived a great number of remittances, amongst which were cheques from Messrs. Cooke, Son, and Co., for 1001.; Sir Peter Laurie, 201 ; Mr. Thomas Haynes (the Mansion-house reporter), 10 guineas ; the Illustrated News, 100 l.• Sir G. Carroll, SOL; the Lord Mayor and the Lord Mayor elect, 50/. each ; Aldermen Farncomb, Hunter, Musgrove, Wire, and Duke, 201. each ; the Shipwrights' Provident Society (a working man's in stitution), 1001.; with a promise of further donations, &c., &c. Lord J. RUSSELL was received with loud applause. He said—My Lord Mayor and gentlemen, I am sure it will not be necessary for me to use many words to per suade you to adopt the resolution that I shall have to propose. We are engaged in a just and necessary war— a war in defence of an ally—a war for no immediate ob- ject of our own, but in order to defend and maintain that ally, and to support the independence of Europe. (Cheers.) Upon that point I need not, and I shall not, attempt to adduce any proof. When as a candidate for this City I had to speak to the electors of London, I addressed myself to that subject. I had afterwards oc casion to speak in Parliament upon the same topic ; and both Parliament and the electors of the United Kingdom have generally—l might say almost unani mously—assented to the justice and necessity of that war. (Hear, hear.) But, gentlemen, even if the war were altogether an error, I hope we shall not be the less inclined to support those brave men who, at ' the call of their country and at the desire of their Queen, had gone forth to the East, to distant climes, to dare every privation, to submit to every disease, and to encounter every enemy that might be found. (Cheers.) This is not a question depending upon the general policy of the war. It is a question that depends upon the judgment that you are inclined to pass upon your own eountwymen in arms. Upon that topic I have not one word to say. I said the opinion of the public upon the war was nearly unanimous ; but 1 think that upon this subject public opinion will be quite unanimous. All will agree that never did Englishmen more distinguish them selves—never did they show greater patience under pri vation—never did they show greater valour in the field —than they have done in the course of the present war. (Loud applause.) We have seen how, on the heights et the Alma, they met and overthrew the enemy to whom they were opposed. We know that every obstacle was placed in the way of their success. We know that all the machinery of war, all the dread engines which are employed in martial enterprises, had been collected together to oppose their progress. But the nerve and the bravery of Englishmen overcame all those obstacles, and made them victors on the crest of Alma. (Loud cheers.) This shows, gentlemen, that notwithstanding many years of peace, the character of our countrymen has not degenerated, and that our soldiers have not been enervated by that long period of tranquillity. (Cheers.) It shows, likewise, gentlemen, that discipline has not been relaxed ; for there are no men, however brave, who would have attempted such an enterprise or encountered such an enemy unless they had been bound together by discipline, and had had full confidence in one another. (Hear, hear.) There is one change, perhaps, with regard to the British soldiers of our own times ; but it is a change that can only give us gratification. The letters which have been published from officers and private soldiers during the last few weeks have shown that there are private soldiers that can express themselves with an intelligence and pro priety, that while it marks their good feeling, at the same time proves how much progress has been made in their education since the former war. (Cheers.) In the meantime we have seen that while this progress has been made under their auspices and with the encouragement of those who have had the administration of the army, there has been no corresponding loss of that energy and of that nerve which distinguished the British soldiers of former days. (Cheers.) I think we have, therefore, an earnest that in whatever remains to be un- dertaken—and at this moment a great enterprise is keep ing the whole of the country in anxiety—in whatever re mains to be undertaken, you may rely upon the valour both of your armies and your fleets in order to accom plish all that human skill and valour can achieve. (Loud cheers.) The Lord Mayor has alluded to the opinion of some persons who think that whatever is sought to be provided by the fund now being raised should be sup plied by means of votes out of the national funds. (Hear.) Now, that is a question I am certainly not going to dis cuss. It has been the opinion of Parliament hitherto that such grants could not be made on ordinary occa sions without leading to great abuses. (Hear, hear.) But, be that as it may, we know that there are no such funds at present ; and that it is to the voluntary zeal and the voluntary liberality of the people of this country that we must look to supply the needs of these widows and orphans, and to give that last consolation which a man dying on the field of battle or expiring on the bed of sickness can have—namely, the thought that, although his arm may be wanting, his family may yet look to the gratitude of their country for support in their future life. (Great cheering.) With these observations, there fore, I venture to propose to you a resolution which I am sure you will all heartily adopt ; and I will only say that I have no doubt the civilians of this country in the conduct of this war will show themselves worthy of their brave countrymen abroad. (Cheers.) The resolu tion is as follows :—" That this meeting regards with the highest admiration and gratitude the gallant con duct of their countrymen who have been engaged in the recent naval and military operations in the East of Europe." Mr. T. BARING, in seconding the resolution, said the case had been ably stated by the Lord Mayor, and elo quently seconded by the noble lord ; but the deeds of our brave countrymen themselves spoke so eloquently that the eloquence of words was not needed. (Loud cheers.) Allusions had been made to the duty of Go vernment to supply the wants of the widowed and orphaned families of our soldiers and sailors, but it must surely be much more gratifying to those who tall in the service of their country to know that the wants of their wives and little ones will be met by the libe ral sympathy of their countrymen themselves than by any dry and formal votes of Parliament which might be contested at every stage. (Cheers.) Englishmen abroad had nobly done their duty ; let Englishmen at home now do theirs. (Loud cheers.) The resolution was unanimously agreed to. Mr. HUBBARD, the Governor of the Bank of Eng land, moved the next resolution :—" That this meeting cordially responds to the proposition of her most gracious Majesty, that a patriotic fund be formed for the relief of widows and orphans of soldiers, sailors, and marines killed in action, or dying from other casualties when employed on services connected with the present war.' " Mr. BaveN, is seconding the resolution, stated that the committee of the Infant Orpiaa A s ylum at Wow. "JURISPRUDENCE AND THE CAVIL LAW.

The directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company have issued the following caution to the commanders of that company's vessels :—• SPECIAL CIRCULAR. The recent deplorable loss of life and property occa sioned by the foundering of the steam-ship Arctic, as well as the othe).• fatal accidents from collisions at sea during fogs, have induced the directors of the Penin sular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company to issue this special circ•alar, in addition to the cautions en joined in the 14th article of their existing printed "instructions for the safe and efficient navigation of their ships." When the weather sets in thick, so that objects can not be distinguil;hed, say a quarter of a mile distant, the vessels are to t e slowed to half speed ; or, if the fog becomes more dense, the speed is to be still more re duced, or the sl) ip stopped altogether, according to the discretion of th 4, commander. The steam-whistles are to be constantly sounded during fogs or tl lick weather. The diminution of speed, and the fact of the steam-whistle having been sounded, are to be recorded in the log-book. Any deviatioi i from the important cautions contained in this circular will be vinited with the dismissal from the company's service of all parties inculpated in such disobedience an,d neglect. By order of the Board. iigned) C. W. llowzLL, Secretary. LontioD, let gcloremioer, 1854. THE CAPTURE OF THE ALAND ISLES. We extract the following from a letter received from Paris yesterday : There is a Power whose sympathies and partialities in favour of Russia are manifested on all and every occa sion. There is no difficulty in guessing that the one alluded to is Prussia. Independently of any other proof. in the course of the campaign of Bornarsund a great number of facts demonstrated that tendency. With refe rence, however, to this Power, as also to Sweden and Denmark, the English and French Governments have adopted an excellent policy ; it consists simply in cea , ing to identify these Governments with Russia, and in leav ing them completely out of the question, and excluded from participation in any future treaties—as if, in tact. Europe no longer attached any importance or any interest whatever to their opinion. Such a policy is the only one which is likely to be attended with favourable results. These three Governments, with the evidence of the military success of the Allied Powers, which has pro duoed throughout the entire North a prodigious sensa tion, to be soon increased by the approaching fall of Sebastopol, will be the best auxiliaries of the allies, and will enable us for our operations of next year to establish ourselves at Kiel and at Gothland. The information we have already acquired in the Baltic is most extensive and valuable. The Gulf of Finland only contains two strong places which it would be necessary to possess ourselves of— Sweaborg, which will render us masters of Finland ; and Cronstadt, which will open to us the road to St. Petersburg. Revel is of little or no use ;it is without any strategical line ; its port is completely bare, and does not contain a single vessel, and for several years past it has ceased to serve as a station to the Russian navy. The capture of Sweaborg, with the maritime resources which we shall have at our disposal next year, and with a corps of from 30,000 to 40,000 men, is certain. The nature of the coast is such that a landing cannot be prevented, provided it be effected at from five to six miles from Helsingfors, which also can be taken. It is very litte fortified, and, situate as it is at the distance of half a mile from Sweaborg, completely commands this fortress. Attacked with such advan tages, both by land and sea, Sweaborg will infallibly fall, and once taken, Finland will belong to us, for the nature of a • ground does not permit an army to keep the field. By making use of the same plan and the same means Cronstadt cannot hold out. The capture of the Aland Isles is much more impor tant than has heen supposed. Its main object was to effect a diversion in the 13,11 tic, to completely occupy the attention of the Rusiions, and to allow of the prepara tions for the expedition to the Crimea ; and that object has been attained. The Russians were led to believe that the grand attack in the Baltic would take place this year. They maintained there an enormous force, and neglected the Crimea, in which they otherwise would have concentrated all their strength and resources. It was firmly believed at St. Petersburg that Sweaborg and Cronstadt were to be attacked before the close of the campaign, while any attempt on Sebastopol was re garded as impossible. It was that conviction which oc casioned the counter orders for the despatch of the troops that Prince Menschikoff had demanded as far back as June. Independently of that consideration, the takirig of Bomarsuod is important as a military operation. Tne defence made by the Russians was contemptible, and the allies, in-fact, encountered nothing like a serious re sistance ; but Ru-sia has lost in it a military and mari time est4blishment of immense importance for the future. It is admirably situate, and its bay, Luna par, is one of the finest of Europe. An equivalent for the loss of Bornarsund cannot be found anywhere. Such as it was, it not only could be defended, but ren- dered very difficult to be taken if the Russians had de fended the passes, and tried to prevent our landi^g. Of the ga-rison th(ra was only the battalion of Finns, amounting to 500 men, who really offered resistance. It would be well that the allies should not count upon Esthonia, Courland, Livonia, or the Grand Duchy of St. Petersburg. The ignoble and odious Government of the Emperor Nicholas is not popular with the inhabi tants of these countries, who are utterly degraded be yond what any one can conceive ; but we may rest as sured that the allies will not find the fanaticism of 1812, because all these races are of German origin, and even at St. Petersburg itself there are very few Russians. Fanaticism is not to be met with ; it will only be math- fasted at Moscow, whither the Emperor will fly after the taking of St. Petersburg, and whither, it is more than probable, we shall not follow him. The abandonment of the Isles of Aland, which has not been well understood in France, was indispensable. The country offers no resources either for lodging or feeding troops, and the climate is so severe that we should in all probability fall victims to it, even to a man. The expeditionary corps, which was no more than 9,000 effective men, lost in a few days by cholera 800 men. It was a sad sight. The fleet suffered less. A few words on the squadrons may not be uninterest ing. The French squadron, composed almost entirely of sailing vessels, experienced many difficulties of navi gation, but overcame them with much skill. "It is commanded (I here quote the words of my informant) by a very superior officer, Admiral Parseval, an excel lent seaman, a distinguished warrior, an excellent man of the world, and an eminent politician. The whole of the operations have been judiciously planned, well execut•d, and useful. The officers and crews are excellent. The Admiral is much respected by the English, who look upon him as a thorough sailor and a perfect gentleman. The English squadron is magnificent ; 13 screw ships of the line and nine fri gates ( crew) of the most consummate beauty, exclusive of the rest. The captains are men of great distinction in every respect. The staffs and crews are numerically weak in proportion." Some strictures are then passed on Admiral Napier, and remarks made on his career which it would be useless to repeat, but from which it would appear that no great opinion exists in either squadron of the capacity of the gallant admiral.

Warren, an attorney's clerk, was charged with embezzling 51., paid to him on behalf of his employer. The prosecutor, Mr. Stafford, a solicitor in Welling ton-street North, stated that the prisoner was in his employ at a salary of 60/. a year and his residence. By an arrangement with the defendant in a late action in the county court, " Tucker v. Smith," a weekly instal ment of the debt and costs was to be paid every Satur day into his (prosecutor's) office, and it appeared that the sum of 51. was duly paid on Saturday last, by Mr. Smith, who took a receipt for the amount in the pri soner's handwriting. The amount, however, was not accounted for to prosecutor, and the prisoner having re presented that Mr. Smith had called and promised to pay the money in a few days, witness wrote immediately to Mr. Smith upon the subject. The next morning, while witness was occupied in his room upstairs, he heard the prisoner and Mr. Smith having some altercation below, and on going down it transpired that Smith was insisting upon seeing prosecutor, in order to satisfy him, by the production of the prisoner's receipt, that he had duly paid the Si. instalment on the previous Saturday, in the absence of prosecutor from town. The prisoner at once confessed his guilt, and implored witness not to prosecute him, for the sake of his wife. On a subsequent examination of his receipt-book, he found that the blank form No. 73 had been torn out, the counter-foil being also extracted. Mr. Smith confirmed the above evidence, and stated that when he received Mr. Stafford's letter he pro. (nded to the office directly to seek some explanation, upon which th• prisoner told him that it was all right, and the mistake had been rectified. Witness still in- sisted on seeing the prosecutor, but the prisoner refused, declaring, firstly, that his master was out, and then that he was particularly engaged with a client. While this contention was going on Mr. Stafford came down stairs. Constable F 147, who took the prisoner into custody, stated that he had about 2/. and ten pawnbrokers' du plicates in his possession ; the latter relating chiefly to books which he had pledged. Mr. Hall committed the prisoner for trial. His Worship was occupied all the afternoon in endea vouring to adjust a family quarrel, which had ended in two assaults—one upon a gentleman, and the other upon a lady under his protection. With the view of saving the time of the court and preventing the exposure of private matters, Mr. Hall strongly urged a mutual apology. This course was ultimately agreed to, but it took upwards of two hours to arrange the mode of ex pressing the same. LAMBETH.— William Ebbs, an elderly man, was charged with attempting to cut his wife's throat with a razor, and George Ebbs, the son, was charged with assaulting the police on the occasion whilst in the execu tion of their duty. The elder prisoner is a shoemaker, and his wife, who was evidently labouring under very severe illness, de posed that they had bad 18 children, 10 of whom were alive, and dependent on them for support, the youngest being only seven months old. Her husband was a good husband when sober, but at present trade was bad, and he took to drinking at times. She had been ill with fever since Friday week, and the doctor having given her an order for some strengthening food from the work house, she asked her husband to go and fetch the same, but he swore at her, and beat her dreadfully, and then went out. She then went and lay down on her son's bed, and her son got underneath to watch that his father did her no injury on his return, for her husband when drunk was like a madman. Her husband soon came back drunk and commenced threatening her, and a neighbour came in and took the baby out of harm's way. Her husband then took out a razor, and her son rushed from under the bed, and while they were struggling together the police came in. Her husband then said it was his own throat he meant to cut. Police constable Callaghan said he told the younger prisoner to let his father go, and he would take him (the father) to the station-house. The eon then said, "You shall not do so," and commenced kicking witness so vio lently that he felt the effects then. Tlie elder prisoner, in defence,said he was sorry for what had happened ; but he had no desire to see his fa mily fed from the workhouse, and was ♦exed that his wife should ask him to go there for food. The Magistrate said he was not surprised that a wo man seeing her children round her wanting food should speak harshly, and, as they were situated, she could not do better than apply to the workhouse as she had done. How did prisoner get drunk if times were so hard with him Prisoner—Oh ! we can always do that by looking up shopmates who are on the "fuddle." It appeared from the evidence of a neighbour that the elder prisoner was pretty often seen drunk, and Mr. Nor ton, in deciding on the case, after a long hearing, said he was disposed, on account of the son having behaved so well in protecting his mother, to let him off—a course in which the prosecution concurred. The younger pri soner begged that his father might be let off too, but the latter was remanded. The case altogether caused a painful interest in a crowded court. SOUTHWARK.—Mary Ann Burke, a decent look ing young woman, was charged with attempting to com mit suicide in the Surrey Canal. William Bayle a shoemaker, residing near the canal in the Old Kent-road, said he had known the prisoner some time as a servant near the locality. This morning she came to him in a hurried manner, and said she had been so ill-used that she was determined to drown her self in the canal. She then left his house, and he fol lowed her towards the canal, and while he was talking to a friend about it, and looking for a constable, he saw her plunge into the water. He immediately ran to the edge and caught hold of her clothes, and with assistance he succeeded in getting her out, without any injury ex cept wetting her clothing. Mr. A'Beckett remanded her until Monday next, to give the officers an opportunity of making some in quiries about her. BREAD RIOTS AT BRUSSELS.—The Tribunal of Cor rectional Police of Brusseh; has commenced the trial of the persons who took the most active part in the recent bread riot in that capital. The total number of accused is 63, and they are divided into several categories. The Tribunal first tried the fourth category, consisting of six men ; the charge was that they bad made part of a band of more than twenty persons not armed, and that they had resisted the police with violence. Three of the ac cused were acquitted ; of the: other three, one, named Vandervost, aged 18, was sentenced to two months' im prisonment ; and two, named Vrydagh and Lambre mont, were fined 25fr. each said condemned to pay the costs. The Tribunal aftery rards condemned a young woman, named Dewinter, a Servant, to three months' imprisonment, for having violently assaulted a deputy. commissary of police.

I When any of these do spatchefi on the followii Southampton), and the receding da Y. des fall o•i a Sunday, the mails will be de ig day with the exception of the India via dalta, both of which will be despatched the MEXico.—The mercantile advices front Mexico by the West India steamer contain little of importance. Great complaints are made of the injury sustained by the country from the ravages of the Indians on the northern frontier, and, owing to the distrust respecting Texas, a strong disposition prevails to attribute them to indirect encouragen ent from that State. The sufferers are, for the most part, peaceful farmers ; and the annual loss of life, as well as of property, is such as to cause them to retire south in great numbers every year. Many valuable estates previously devoted to the breeding of cattle, mules, and horses, have thus been abandoned, after having been reduced to ruin. The Government are inefficient to arrest these inroads, and they have been pushed even to the neighbourhood of Zacatecas. In other respects the country is more peaceful than for some time past, the spirited defeat of the piratical force of Count Raousset at Guyamas having apparently dis couraged any fresh attempts at revolution, either by ex ternal or internal means. The corruption prevalent in the army is still one of the chief causes of apprehension among the respectable classes in the capital, since it is asserted that amongst every one connected with that department the old system of peoulation is again in all its vigour, the public resources being almost entirely swallowed up by it, while the other branches of the ad ministration are more or less neglected. The celebra tion of the anniversary of Mexican independence had occasioned some diplomatic misunderstanding, the foreign Ministers having refused to attend in their uniforms and the general opinion is said to be that they showed little discretion in the matter. The price of quicksilver remained steady, at $65 to $7O per quintal, and the ex change on London was 46d. to 464 d. B IR T 11 S. OF A BON.
