POLICE INTELL IGENCE,--This day. BOW STREET. SELLING WINE 'WITHOUT A LICENSE.—BIase Rosetti, a wine merchant, carrying on business at 61, King. street, Regent-street, appeared to a summons charging him with selling wine without a license. Mr Dwelly, the solicitor to the Excise, said Mr Rosetti formerly took out a license for selling wine, which he allowed to expire, and, notwithstanding that fact, he con tinued to sell without having renewed his license to do so. An officer of the Excise entered Mr Rosetti's shopsoon after his license had expired, and purchased a bottle of claret, and, having paid for it, he ask: - d Mr Rosetti if he had a license. Mr Rosetti said he had had one, but he had not yet renewed it. The carer advised him at once to take cut the license, which he did, but the present proceedings were instituted for the recovery of the penalty that had been incurred by Mr Rosetti, by selling a‘ ice between the expiration and the renewal of his license. The Board had consented to accept 10s., instead of the full penalty; but Mr llosetti, he be lieved, objected to this, believing he was justified in su doing, Mr Rosetti said, when the cffieer told him to take out his license he said no proceedings wculd be taken against him, He accordingly paid for a renewal of the license, yet he had been summoned to this court for the recovery of e penalty. He did not think the Excise ought to have taken any proceedings against him. Mr Henry—You are summoned for the fine you have incurred by selling wine during the time you had no license. The money you have paid is to enable you to sell for the fut ure. Mr Rosetti—The officer told me if I took out the license directly, I should not be proceeded against, Mr Dwelly said the Board of Exchequer had intimated that if Mr Rosati would pay 10s all proceedings should be stayed. Mr Rosetti—That's all very well ; but I d)n't see that 1 ought to pay the lOs at all. Mr Henry—What b the amount of fine for selling wine Without a license ? Mr Dwelly—£2.o. Mr Henry—l think, Mr Rosetti, you are very fortunate. If you don't accept the offer, I shall have to hoar the case, and, if proved, fine you £2O. I think you had better pay the lOs instead of finding fault. Mr Rosetti—Well, sir, if you think it is right I will pay 13. e money. Mr lienry—lf you ask me, I don't think it is quite right. I think that if the case is proceeded with I shall have to fine you £2O. You had better pay the money instead of finding fault. Mr Dweliy said the board had determined not to enforce the full penalty if the find of 10s. was paid. If that was agreed to by Mr Rosetti, the information upon which the summons was issued would be withdrawn. Ultimately Mr Rosetti paid the 10s. and retired. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OMNIBUS HousEs.—Edward Miller, a foreman in the employ of the London General Omnibus Company, ap peared before Mr. Tyrwhitt to answer the complaint of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, of unlawfully causing and procuring to be cruelly ill-treated and tortured, two horses. Mr. Beard appeared for the defendant on the part of the company. The horses, when brought to the front of the court for :be inspection of the magistrate, were in a very bad condi- di; on. The evidence of Rutherford, one of the Society's officers, as to the condition of the horses, having been read over, Rutherford said, in answer to Mr Board, that ho saw the defendant the following day, and he told him that the horses had been condemned, and ought not to have been s-nt out. He never had to find fault with the horses under the defendant's charge before. Turner, the driver of the horses, was called, and he said that when the horses were brought to the starting place he complained to the old man who brought them of their condi dition, but as the place was half a mile from the stable he was obliged to go with the horses, having no opportunity of changing them. The man, wh ) was only on for the day, said he could not help it. In reply to Mr Beard, the witness said the horses had been stopped in their work to be inspected, as to whether they were fit for work any more or not. Mr Beard said it was to be regretted the horses were brought out, bat it was from inadvertence and not inten • tion. - The defendant had been forty years in charge of horses, and never complained of before. Ho hoped, as the defendant was no party to their being worked, the complaint would be dismissed; at the same time he (Ur Beard) would aimit the horses were unfit for work. The old man was called, and sail it was through his mistake the horses were brought out. Mr Tyra hitt, in dismissing the complaint, said ho was not at all sorry the defendant had been summoned, as it had been the means of an explanation being given. He was determined to put an end to the misery EA eted upon the poor things if possible. Mr Beard said the horses had been destroyed. Rutherford stated that that was the case. WHERE ARE VAGRANT GIRLS TO BE SENT ?--A little girl, named Mary Meriority, wearing an apology for a dress, without covering to her head or shoes to her feet, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with begging in Regent. street. The case having been proved by Emit Futach, 339 A, Mr Tyrwhitt asked the child who sent her out. The child said she was sent out by her mother, who lived in Ship-yard, in the Strand. Mr Tyrwhitt said a good deal had been said by soma persons as to the magistrates at the police-courts not doing their duty and sanding these poor girls to institutions and reformatories ; but in spite of Mr Sydney Turner's report to Parliament, there was scarcely a place where they could be sent to without a sum of money or annuity was paid for them. Ile should discharge the poor child, there being more fault attaching to the mother than to her, but at the same time he would caution her'not to go begging again. THAMES. AN Ex- CABBY IN TROUBLE—CHARGE OP BIGAMY.— William Hedger, a strange looking man, better known by the name of Cuffoy, who was formerly a cab driver, and has been for the last three years hanging about the cab ranks, and getting his living in a very suspicious manner, was brought before Mr Paget charged with feloniously inter marrying with Hannah Seymour, his first wife being alive at the time. The prisoner is well known to the police. Some timo ago he was in a public house opporite a cabstand in the East India-road, Limehouse, and a toll collector entered the house to obtain change for a sovereign. He had no sooner put down the piece of gold than the prisoner snatched it, and exclaimed " I shall go to the Opera with this." Ho hired a cab and did go to the Opera. The money was expended in one evening. The prisoner was afterwards convicted of the robbery, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. He was now arraigned on a charge of bigamy. Susannah Miller, of No. 57, Featherstone-street, St Luke, straw bonnet maker, said that 19 years ago she saw the prisoner, her brother, and Maria Pillew standing at the altar of Bethnal-green Church. The clergyman pronounced them man and wife, and repeated the nuptial benediction. The prisoner lived with his wife for ten years afterwards. She was now in court. The first and second wife here presented themselves, and the magistrate said ha could not hear the first and lawful wife, but he could receive the evidence of the second wife, who was no wife at all, logally speaking. _ _ Hannah Seymour, of li, Ramsa33treet, Bethnal green, said she was married to the prisoner at St. Thomas's Church, adjoining tho Thames Police Court, Stepney, on the Ist of February, 1858. During the seven years she had been married to hire, he had been away from her three years. He was a very bad husband. Directly she heard he had another wife living, she gave him into custody. Tho prisoner said he had no defence to make. Mr Paget committed the prisoner to Newgato for trial. WESTMINSTER. DISTRESSING CASE OF SHOPLIFTING}.—Mary Anne Reynolds and Jessie Godfrey, two very well dressed women, said to be the wives of respectable men, and the former of whom carried an infant, were placed at the bar charged with stealing a shawl, value £1 ss, from the shop of Mr Hill, 70, King's-road, Chelsea. Mr Hill said that they came in together yesterday after noon, and were known as customers against whom suspi cions of dishonesty were entertained. Poisoners wore twenty minutes in the shop, during which time they were watched. They purchased a shawl for 18s 9d, and paid 3s of it, promising to bring the remainder. As they were about leaving the shop prosecutor asked them if they had any property of his about them that had not been paid for, and they replied, "No." He asked them if they had any objec t' on to be searched, and they also replied no, and were taken up stairs, where a missing shawl was found. Reynolds at this point of the case fainted in the dock, and was carried out into the air, Restoratives having been applied, she was again brought before the magistrate, and exclaimed, "I am guilty. I took the shawl, but the wo man who was by my bide knew nothing about it till it was found." Miss Louisa Howard, shopwoman, said she watched the prisoners. She saw Reynolds fold the shawl up, at whi, h time Godfrey was at another part of the shop. When God frey returned Reynolds took the shawl Gff the coun'er. Godfrey expressed her willingness to be searched, the other was not willing. The shawl which had been stolen was found under Reynolds's clother, where it seemed it had been carefully pinned, as it took her some time to un fasten it. A policeman proved that he was called to take the pri goners into custody. When he did so Godfrey declared her innocence, Prisoners were remanded till Monday. The Exhibition of the Industrial Arts at the Palace of Industry has just been opened, but the exhibitors are far from having completed the arrangement of their products, THE EXPLOSION AT ERITH. INQUEST AT GUY'S HOSPITAL. The inquiry touching the death of James Eaves and Elizabeth Wright, who expired at Guy's Hospital from injuries sustained by this catastrophe, and an Italian named Morandi, who was kited by a tren on the following evening, was opened at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, at Guy's Hospital, before Mr W. Payne, the coroner for the city of London and borough of Southwark. Mr Poland, instructed by Messrs Tassel, appeared to watch the proceedings on behalf of Messrs Hall and Co., the proprietors of one of the magazines. The jury having been sworn, The Coroner said that in two of the cases into which they had to inquire the deaths had b en occasioned by the ex plosion at Erich, and the other person, an Italian, agreed Morandi, had been killed at the railway station on the fol lowing night. The jury having viewed the bodies, which were lying ii the deadhouse of the hospita, The Coroner said that ho would first take the case of the Italian who was killed at the Erith station, Angelo Morandi, aged 24. Edward Furnage, porter on 'he South-Eastern Railway, proved the confusion which prevailed on the occasion. Mr Tufford, station master at Erith, said that there were 740 persons upon the platform at the time is question, and one half of them had to be left behind. When the deceased was taken up he said "lan a dead man." Numbers had got on to the platform over the railings for a quarter of a mile on each side of the station. Many slipped or elided down an embankment 60 feet deep. Mr W. Osborn, Plumstead, said that he was for three hours on the platform waiting to get up. At one time he saw six persons thrown down on the platform. The train came in with great care. There seemed to him to be over I,GOO persons on the platform. Mr Guiseppe Morandi, 72, Grange-street, Goswell-road, cabinet manufacturer, said that deceased was 21 years of age. He was a cabinet manufacturer. Mr Sidney Turner, house-surgeon, said that deceased was brought in at 14 30 on Monday morning with his thigh smashed and other injuries. He said he would sooner die than have his leg off, and he died in three-quarters of an hour. He said that be had been pushed down under the train by the crowd. Inspector Bell said that when the train was coming to the station it was necessary to telegraph to stop it 400 yards down the line, as such numbers had got on to the metals that hun , ]reds of lives would have been lost if it came up; and even at that distance 30 persons were found en the rails when the engine pulled up. The Coroner having summed up, the jury returned a verdict of accidental death. Tho Coroner then proceeded to take the evidence in the other cases. Mr Wan. Hall, of Faversham, Kent, a gunpowder manu facturer, deposed—We had stores of powder, or a powder magazine, at Frith. It is about 100 yards from the river. There is a tramway between it and the river, composed of wood, to prevent friction. The whee:s of the carriage are made of gun metal. There was another magazine, about 200 or 300 yards from mine There was a separate tramway to it. The explosion took plac3 on Saturday morning, at about a quarter before 7 o'clock. I was staying just below Ashford, which is a distance of about 50 miles from the scene of the accident. There had been two barges at our wharf, one of which belonged to us and the other to our manager. They arrived at about midday on Thursday. One of them had delivered a quantity Of powder at Graves end, and the other, I suppose, was discharging into the magazine. I have been there when they have been unload • ht. The powder is in barrels, which are taken out of the barge by hand. One man handles a whole barrel. They were placed upon trucks and then carried into the magazine. Tho barrels are perfectly se fa from leakr ge, being examined by the foreman of the coopers before they leave the cooperage, and then again by the foreman of the dusting house before they are filled. Ido not know how many barrels were being unloaded, Rayner, the storekeeper, would be at the maga zne to receive the barrels. They had begun to unload when this happened. Rayner is dead. He had two assistants, who are both dead. The explosion destroyed the whole building. My barge was full, and the other had partly un loaded at Gravesend. I believe Jarnott was the captain of my barge, and Barber was his mate. They are both dead. The captain of the other barge was named John Gladson, He is also dead. Ido not know of any person now living who can throw any light upon the cause of the explosion. I am practically aware of the mode in which gunpowder is manufactured, Laving been at it forty years, It is com posed of saltpetre, brimstone, and charcoal. These articles are amalgamated at the amalgamating mills, as they aro termed. The charges are mixed and placed on the runners, worked by steam. The Coroner—The object of the questions is to ascertain whe, her the articles might not be kept apart until they are wanted. Witness—lt w:uldbc imp2ssible, as the gases could not be fiv-A. Corm , r—Docs anything occur to you which would render explosions less probable ? Witness—No, wo take every precaution. Coroner—You think that this did not arise from a con tinuous train of powder from the barges to the magazine. If the magazines wero further removed from the water would it be safer ? Witness—l think not ; for the concussion would be suffi cient to explode it if it wore at a much greater distance. By the Jury—The instant the concussion takes place tho magazine opens, and the flush or spark immediately com municates. By Mr Pdand—l purchased at great expense the ground surrounding the building, in order that people should not be near the magczine, Rayner has been 12 years in ray service, and I believe him to have been a careful, well conducted man. Ho lived in a detached cottage on my ground. All the men employed upon the premises wear slippers, which I procure for them in order that they shall not work with shoes made with nails, I have never had an explosion either at the magazines or barges, By the Jury—A firo is not allowed upon a loaded barge, even if the hatches are down. lam not aware that any of the men aro accustomed to smoke. William Monk, foreman of Mr Hall's mills at Faversham, deposed—There wore two men in the barge which I sent off filled with gunpowder in barrels on Monday. It was to be delivered at the magazine. One barge was called the Har riett, and the other the Good Design. A portion of the powder was to be delivered off Gravesend. I cannot say how the explosion took place. livery means is taken to prevent explosions. The materials which form gunpowder are all ground scpamtely and mixed, Neither of the two articles used in the manufacture of gunpowder would explode with out the third. By Mr Poland—l have been at Faversham for 60 years. The men who had charge of the barges were very steady men, end had had charge of powder for years. There is a fireplace_in the cabin, which is divided from the hold by a wooden partition lined with l ea d. _ _ By the Jury—The men nearly always take their food with them ready cooked. Police-sergeant Eiward Cox, 15 R, deposed—l was at Erith police. station on Saturday morning when this hap pened. I heard a fearful explosion, and upon going out at the back I saw a large volume of smoke arising. I iname• diately supposed that one a the magazines had gone. I got medical assistance and went to the spot. I assisted in get ting the injured persons out of the ruins and sending them to the hospital. I also sent messengers to Woolwich, as I saw an opening in the liver bank, I have heard that two men had been near the magazine with a barge loaded with gunpowder on the previous evening, but they w en t down the river. I have seen lighterman Grimes. who says that his back was towards the magazine when he was suddenly struck in the back and knocked into the river ; hi s mate helped him into a boat, when he became insensible. It is not true that Grimes said that he saw something like a flash of lightning in the Large. Ho said that his mate (Bruce) could tell more about it. Bruce lives at Perri winkle. street, r Ratcliff-cress. I ns p ec tor Bell said that Grimes ha d given two or three different accounts of the affair. l‘ t was go a down o wn incendiary andte get act. the From the appearance of the embankment I should say that lighter, Byr explodeHth a e Hail Jury—There i v r a y_ s recalled, Tb e re and deposed that g unpowder would not spontaneously.e no nails in th e cas k s. The rolling of a cask over bare gunp owder would not ca use it to ignite, Wo have no reason to supposethat the explosion first took pl ace from the bar ges. Inspector Bell recalled —I have seen Grimes, and he r. said magazine a th sk a e t d he on w e as of op h p is ois m ite en th n e aed Bruce ruc e in n i to a Trinity hawser, when all at once he heard an explosion, and was immediately lifted up in the sir to a distance of 30 yards, and he then fell down in the water. I asked him whether he saw a flash, and he said that he had seen something like a flash of lightning in the water, The man Bruce and a comrade cf his named Clarke, re ferred to by Sergeant Cox in his evidence, Were sent for by order of the coroner. Robert Bruce, 8, Perriwinkle-street, Ratcliffe, deposed that on Saturay morning he was on board the ballast lighter No. 32, in the river right abreast of the powder m agaz i n e. It was about 20 minutes to sev en o'clock, and ho noticed persons walking about en the barges alongside the powder jetty, but ho could not tell whether or not they were un loading. Directly afterwards there was a great light all around the ballast lighter. and then carue something like a volley of guns, and the bricks came flying into and about the lighter, lie looked up and saw fragments of the buildings in the air overhead, and the rubbish began to splash in the water. There was a great smoke. He could not tell what first blew up. By the Jury—He had not observed whether there was any smoke issuing from the barges as if cooking was going on. lie had often seen the barge Good Design, and he never saw the crew smoking. They were steady men, and used no bad language on the water. John Clarke gave similar evidence. Ile did not see any thing until there wac a great light about his barge, and the bricks came flying through the sails. Gthoes, who was on board, was lifted into the air, and he fell into the water. He had not much recollection new of what had happened. Mr Sidney Turner, house surgeon, said that Elizabeth ight was brought in dying from collapse, and she died in a Icw Lai:awes, James Evans had his skull fractured and the right lobe of the brain lacerated. John Wright said that la worked at Messrs Cuatic,a'6 mills, which were about a quarter of a mile from Messrs Hill's, where his father lived. Curtice's magazine had the windows blown in by the explosion. His father was killed in the magazine. and his sister was in bed at the time she received her irjuries. . Mrs Eaves identified the body of John Eaves as that o her husband. It was proved that Ewes was in a shed lent by Mr Silver to Mr Kayly's men at the time of the explosion. His com rade, who was with him, was buried under some planks, which protected him from the bricks that fell upon and crushed deceased. The Coroner having briefly summed up, The jury, after a long deliberation, returned the following special verdict :—" The jury find that the deceased persons died by accident through an explosion of gunpowder, bw. how the explosion took place there is no evidenca to show, and the jury think that the practice of allowing stoves, or lights of any description, on board powder barges ought to be di continued." The inquiry then terminated. lIIDDLESEX SESSIONS —This Day, This being the day fixed upon for the renewal and grant ing cf new licences the magistrates sat for the purpose of divc , sing of a great number of applicati , ,ns. With very few exceptions the whole of the licences granted last year sere renewed, The renewal cf a licence was in one instance objected to in cons( quence of applicant having permitted dancing in his house, his licence being solely for music:. An Inspector of the H Division said the house, which was situated in Leman-street, Whitechapel, was now conducted in an orderly manner, and closed at proper hours. About three weeks ago a man was stabbed after leaving the house, and at the trial, which took place before Mr Beath, the Assistant-Judge, it transpired that dancing was permitted in the house although it was only licensed for music. Mr Bodkin desired that the fact might be intimated to the magistrates when an application was made for the renewal of the license. One of the magistrates cn the bench said dancing was carried on in the house habitually. License refused. THE STRAND MUSIC HALL. The application of the directors for a license for music for this new building will be taken to-morrow. WESTON'S RETREAT.

CAPTAIN SPEKE'S LAST LETTER.—The following is a copy of an unfinished letter which was found among the gallant and lamented gentleman's papers, and which, it is believed, contains the last words ho ever wrote : " Neston Park, Corsham, Sept. 14.—Dear Mr Tinne,—l have been delighted by seeing the way in which yon have been handling the Nile question in the Times of the 12th. The ladies' accounts of the way they were treated by those ruffians up there is a perfect picture, as far as it goes, of the true state of the system practised in those lands. There is one other reason not alluded to which must have ope rated to thwart the ladies' designs—viz., the jealousy the traders are E 0 susceptible to of any one prying into the nature of the country they have appropriated to them selves, Pray do keep working this subject, for no one can do it better than yourself. No doubt, indeed, a consul is much wanted in the Soudan; but then he should be a not trader, for no one can trade honestly i n those regions. I have great_ fears about the fato of B a k er. He orderedd Petherick to piece a boat for hi m a t G on d o k oro last year, The boat was there, and th e men with thisw whom Baker went into the interior must have returned to that port, also we could not have heard of Baker's having gone to Unyoro. This being necessarily the case, how is it that Baker did not send a line by them to Petherick, unless some foul play can answ er th e quest i on ? For the love of those you have lost, do bring retribution on the miscreants who occasioned it. There is no richer land in the world than the equatorial regions, and nothing more of importance to the interesis of Egypt, as well as our own merchants, than that of openinu up those lands to legitimate commerce." COURAGEOUS CONDUCT OF A SERVANT GIRL. — At about a quarter-past 12 on Sunday morning last a bur glarious entrance was effected at the house of Mr Edward Wood, of Oakham. Mr Wood, who is in business in Dud -I:,y, was staying at his business residence, and the house was left with only a servant girl and a younger son of the pro prietor. At the time abovereentioned the girl, whose name is Hannah Langston°, was aroused by hearing a noise in the house. She at once got up and went down stairs, and found a man in the back kitchen with a side of bacon on his shoulders. She immediately caught hold of the bacon and took it from him and commenced calling for aid. The burglar attacked her, and while struggling with him, kicked her violently on the right thigh, which is bruised and blackened severely. He ultimately wade his escape through the kitchen window, which ho had forced in obtain ing an entrance. The girl endeavoured to prevent his escape, but the man overpowered her and got away, without however taking any spoil. As soon as possible an alarm was raised and several neighbours came to the spot, but the man had succeeded in getting beyond pursuit. Besides the flitch of bacon, a ham was found cut ready for carrying away. Detective-sergeant Davies, of the Dudley force, was called in, and his opinion is that the forcing of the window is not the work of a " regular hand." The girl is seriously but not dangerously hurt. Her courageous behaviour is a general topio of comment in the town, and we understand it is the intention of her employer to re ward her handsomely for plucky condttet.—Birmingham Gazate. At the Clerkenwell police-court yesterday a gen• tleman named Lloyd was charged with having got out of a train in motion on the Metropolitan Railway. The affair took place on the 10th of September. Mr Lloyd wanted to get out at King's Cross, but failed to do so beforit the door of the carriage in which he was riding was shut and the train in motion. He then opened the door and in sisted on getting out. The result was that he fell on to the line a little within the tunnel and was taken up for dead. Fortunately, however, he was only insensible, but was very seriously hurt. The magistrate yesterday fined him Is. and costs, but the railway company declined to receive the costs. At the Middlesex Sessions yesterday a police constable named Gully was charged with assaulting a married woman named Gompertz. According to the statement for the prosecution Gully had b hayed in a very coarse and brutal manner to Mrs C-Tompertz. It was alleg-d for the prisoner, on the other hand, that he had found her making a great row, and had taken her into custody, and that the charge against him was an afterthought. The jury ceuld not agree upon a verdict, and were discharged. „ DEATH OF THE FIRST NUTMEG PLANTER IN GRENADA.—Mr. Robert Kennedy, a native of Perthshire, Scotland, who ern:grated to Grenada in 1804, and subsequently introduced the nutmeg into that colony, expired in August last at the ripe ago of 83. The nutmegs sent from the deceased gentleman's gardens at Belhsue carried the prize at the Great Exhibition of 1851.

The party charged is Mr Henry Mowbray, auctioneer and estate agent, on the Grand Parade, and also agent to the Railway Passengers Insurance Company. The prosecutor is Mr Samuel Thorncrofr, assistant overseer of Brighton, and registrar of births, marriages, and deaths for St. Peter's district in that town. It appeared that on the 20. h August Mr Mowbray called on Mr Thorncroft, at the parochial office, at the b Atom of Church-street, and asked Mr Thorn croft to insure with him, and that a conversation ensued, which resulted in Mr Thorncroft agreeing to insure for £2e.:o the expense of whichiwould be £l. In payment Mr Thorncroft drew a cheque on the London and Caunty Bank, and took from Mr Mowbray a receipt for £l. A few days afterwards, on looking at the counterfoil in his cheque-book, he found a memorandum that the corresponding cheque was £5, and this he immediately corrected to £l, but when he received his bank book at the end of the month he found that he was debited £5 in the name of Mowbray. Finding that he had thus inadvertently drawn a cheque for £5 instead of £l, he sent for Mr mowbray, and asked:for the restoration of the LI. Mr Mowbray replied that when Mr Thorncroft, paid him the £t he said he never drew cheques for so small an amount as £l, and that be consequently drew a cheque for £5, receiving from him (Ur Mowbray) the £4 balance. This Mr Thorncroft denied. He declared that he never received the £4, and that he said nothing whatever as to net drawing small cheques. In fact, the very next cheque that he drew was for £l. The parties being unable to agree upon the facts, Mr Thorncroft sued in the county court for the Li a fortnight since, when both parties swore to what is mentioned above, Mr Thorncroft support ing his version of the transaction by the evidence of Mr Underwood, the deputy assistant cverseer, and a clerk named Carpenter, both of whom denied that any coin passed on the occasion in question. The judge of the county court (Mr Furrier) gave a verdict for the plaintiff, Mr Thorn croft, ordering the immediate restoration of the by Mr Mowbray. Since that time Mr:Mowbray had is conversa tion charged Mr Thorncroft with perjury; and Mr Thorn croft replied by summoning him before the magistrates and charging the perjury on the other side. Mr A. T. Mills, of Brighton, conducted the prosecution; Mr J. G. Langham, of Uckfield, was engaged for the defence. Mr Ewen Evershed, the registrar of the Bounty court, and Mr Woo iham, the usher of the court, produced the record of the case, and gave evidence of the defendant having sworn that he handed the four sovereigns to Mr Thorncroft. Mr Thorncroft himself was examined, and having detailed all the circumstances of the case reiterated his averment that no money passed. He was cleverly cross examined by Mr Langham. Mr Underwood and the boy Carpenter gave evidence in corroboration. They did not see Mr Mowbray give Mr Thorncroft the four sovereigns, although they were in a position to see that took place. Mr Langham, in a powerful address, urged that it was far more probable that Mr Thorncroft's memory failed, than that Mr Mowbray had committed deliberate and wilful per jury. Mr Mowbray came from Leicester, where he had been guardian and vice-chairman of the board of guardians; and when he left Leicester his townsmen presented him with a pica of plate. He proposed to ca 1125 witnesses, who would give him the highest pc ssible character. The magi strates, after a sitting of six hours, decided on committing Mr Mowbray for trial, but admitted him to bail, himself in £lOO, and two sureties in £5O each. MADLLE.

MUTINY IN THE MERSEY.—Yesterday an Ame rican packet, the City el Brooklyn, commanded by Captain Gaon COII3CIIS, which lest the Mersey the same morning, put back into the river and signalled for the pelice. An inspector and four men went aboari, and the captain then gave 12 of the crew of 29 into custody, charged with refusing to obey orders. One of their number, Andrew Petersen, a Dane, was also charged with having stabbed the third mate, Jas. Johnson, in the thigh with a pocket knife. It appeared that Petersen refused to obey an order of the second mate, and on the third mate enforcing it Petersen threw down cud stabbed him. The men were all new hands, ankno , vn to the cffieers. TUE MISSING YOUNG CHOMSTER BELONGING TO ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.—Upon instituting in quiries yesterday morning at the Vicar's Choral of St. Paul's Cathedral, we were informed, notwithstanding the informa tion given to all the inspectors of the metropolitan police of the disappearance of young King, one of the youthful choristers, and the offer by the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's of a reward of £lO for any information as to what may have become of him, not the slightest clue had been obtained up to 11 o'clock. It appears he was present at the morning service on Saturday last. since which time neither h's family nor his friends have heard anything of him, Many rumours are abet as to his supposed abduc% tion, and as ho was a lad of great talent and promise in his profession, it is conjectuted that he has been induced to leave London by other than disinterested parties. The occurrence has occasioned great glut on the part of hie friends and. the authorities connected with the Cathedral. HOUNDS IN THE 17TH CE?.iTURY.—One or the earliest packs of foxhounds on record was that kept by the then Lord Arundel! of Wardour, between the years 1690 and 1700; and the family are in possession of memo randa proving that they occasionally hutted them from Wardour Castle, in Wiltshire, and at Braemore, near Salisbury, now the scat of Sir Edward Hulse, but then the occasional residence of Lcrd Arundell. These hounds were kept by the Arundeils until about the year 1745, when the sixth Lord Arundell died. After his decease they were kept by his nephew, the Earl of Castlehaven, by whom end his success= they were hunted until the death of the last Ear of that name, about the year 1782. The paCk was thou sold to the celebrated Mr Hugo Moyne'', of Qaorncdon-hal, Leicestershire; and it is probable that they contributed largely to the establishment of that gentleman's foxhunting fame, and have been the progenitors of some of the Quern hounds of the present day.— Once a Week,.

BIBLE DEATII.----An inquest was held on Saturday at the White Hart Inn, Catsfield, by Mr Kell, coroner, re specting the death of IVm. Wait, through an explosion at Messrs Lawrence and Sons' gunpowder mills, Battle, Sus sex, which occurred on the previous Thursday. The de ceased had been is the employ of the firm 30 years, and on 29th of September was engaged with another man tamed John Chapman in putting down some flooring in one of tde press-houses. Orders had been given that the building should be well watered, so that any stray gun powder which might have escaped in the manufacture should he rendered unieflammable ; but this necessary precaution appears only to have been partially carried out. Chapman in pressing up one of the joists used a cross steal matlock, instead of as he should have done a wooden lever, which was the cause of the explosion, as the instrument came in contact with a nail or some thing else, causing a spark and igniting the gun powder underneath the flooring which escaped through the crevices. Chapman was blown on to the Brooks, a distance of three or four rods, receiving extensive injuries, and is still lingering. The poor man Watt was hurled on to the bank of the river, and was severely burnt on the surface, and injured in nearly every part of his body, and notwith standing the treatment of Mr Cruickshank, the surgeon, expired on the following night. The jury returned a verdict of -" Accidental death." It transpired yesterday afternoon that Mr Aaron Salomons, warehouseman, of Old Change, had suspended business, owing to the discovery of con siderable forgeries committed by his confidential clerk, cashier, and manager, named Thornely, The aggregate sum embuzled is stated at £40,000, and as the delinquent has gone to America, and has lost n early the whole amount by speculation in mining shares, &a,,a,, ve . ry little of it is likely to be recovered. The bankers of the firm eared every assistance, b u t Mr Salomons not knowing hie position; very pru dently resolved to stay his operations at once and ascertain his real position. Subjoined is the cir cular issued to the creditors No. 16, King-street, Cheapside, London, Oot. 5, 1801. Gentlemen,—Mr A. Salomons, of Old Change, ware houseman, having this day discovered that his confidentiA clerk and cashier has forged bills to a considerable amount, and also abstracted moneye from the house, is advised by his principal creditors at once to have his affairs investi gated; and we beg to inform you that the books have been placed in our hands for that purpose.
