LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) There were only four cases in the list, being applications for release from custody. IN RE PONCIIEE. This bankrupt was described as formerly of St. Michael's Abbey, Cornhill, and of Old Broad-street, City, accountant and sharebroker. The debts are about £1,928, assets un certain. He was bankrupt in 1843, and attributes his bankruptcy to insufficiency of earnings and liability for third parties on bills of Exchange. There being no opposition, the order of release was granted.

THE CHARGE AGAINST A WRITING-MASTER. John Charles Marter, writing-master, 485, New Oxford street, surrendered to his bail to answer an indictment charging him with indecent) , assaulting one of his pupils, Ann Shirgold. The defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Sleigh appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Met calf defended. Mr. Sleigh said the prisoner kept a writing school in New Oxford-street, and the present charge against him was that he, during the time a young girl named Ann Shirgold was taking lessons from him, conducted himself in a highly improper manner by kissing her and using other familiarities, which would be detailed to them in evidence. It was of the highest importance to all parties concerned that the charge should be thoroughly investigated. With respect to the young woman it was not to be endured that young persons attending educational establishments should be exposed to insult, and as to the defendant it was of the greatest importance to him that the truth or falsehood of the charge should be clearly substantiated. Ann Shirgold said—ln July last she was living at 8, Fitzroy-street, Fitzroy-square, as domestic servant in the establishment of Dr. Ellis. In June lam I agreed with the prisoner to pay him 245. to instruct me in writing. I paid 10s. in advance ; but on that occasion he merely told me to bring on my next visit 28, 6d. for stationery. I then took a lesson. I went on two other occasions; on the last of which, the Bth of July, he 'set me a copy, and loft the room. There was another pupil in the next room, and I got up and went and spoke to her. The prisoner then returned to the room, having a letter in hand, saying he was going to answer it. That it was a letter from a young man to his sweetheart, and that he was going to answer it for her. He then told me that he had taught a young girl to ride on horseback, that she was in the service of an old man, but that at his death. she married a young man. He afterwards put his hand on my neck and pressed it very hard. I removed it, and looked very black at him. In a few minutes after he kissed me three times, and used other familiaritiee. I repelled his insults as well as I could, but he told me he took great interest in me, and although he had another pupil in the next room, she was an old maid, and that he could do nothing with her, I took up my bonnet and shawl to leave the house ; he held me round the waist again, but I broke away, and ran out of the house. He followed, and after I had left the street door, I saw him looking after me. On getting h ome I to ld my mistress, Mrs. Ellis, a portion of the conduct of Mr. Marter, when she told me to communicate with my friends. I did so, and the result was a summons was taken out against him. Cross-examined by Mr. Metcalf—l had been four times to Mr. Marter before he kissed me. lle was in and out the room once or twice during the time I was there. There was another young woman in the adjoining room, but I could not see her. After Mr. Matter had insulted me I was so frightened that I could not call for assistance, but as I left the room in which the other pupil w as wr i t i ng I sa id I should not come again. Mr. Marter told me to come again the following Sunday, and I said I would, hut it was only to get out of the house. The reason I did not go into the next room was that I thought it was best for me to get home as soon as possible. When he pressed my bosom he hurt me very much, and I puahed his hand away indignantly. I never spoke to Miss Johnson about getting my money back. Lord Raynham and the Society for the Protection of Women are the prosecutors in this case. I never went to Lord Raynham about the present proceed ings. He ,vas at Bow -street when I went in company with my brother to make the complaint against the prisoner. Thomas Shirgold, brother of the last witness, said my sister came to me and told me she had been grossly insulted. She was very numb. agitated. I went with her to obtain this summons. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Metcalf then addressed the jury for the prisoner and called— Miss Johnson, a lady of about 35 or 40 years of ago, said ehe was a pupil of Mr. Maher. She was taking her lesson in the inner room on the evening the prosecutrix stated that the insults had been committed, but she had heard nothing of the matter. She was, however, sitting with her back to the door, so that she could not see into the apartment. The prosecutrix made some observation as she was leaving the room, but she could not say what was the purport of the remark. A young man, a pupil of the prisoner, also gave evidence o the same effect. A number of winesses having given the prisoner a good character, Mr. Sleigh replied on the whole case, and contended that notwithstanding the ingenuity and astuteness of the counsel for the prisoner, he had not succeeded in shaking one tittle of the evidence of the prosecutrix. The jury retired, and, after an absence of 20 minutes, re turned into court with a verdict of guilty, . accompanied with a strong r ecommendation to mercy. Mr. Sergeant Gazelee said he did not think any person who had heard the proceedings could come to any other conclusion. It was a very bad case, because the prisoner had used the facility of advertising for tho purpose of obtaining pupils, and then had taken advantage of those who wished to avail themselves of the art the prisoner professed to teach. Such cases as the ono before the court did immeasurable harm, because it shook that confidence which it was desirable should be reposed in every instructor of the young, and in the present instance its aspect was aggravated by the prisoner being a married man. A juige was always ready, of course, to pay attention to the recommendation of a jury, and had the verdict not been accompanied with it he should have passed a much heavier punishment. The learned sergeant then sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment with hard labour, observing at the same time that had it not been for the recommendation to mercy the punishment would have boon 12 months' imprisonment. [ln the report yesterday of a watch robbery, by a mis take of our reporter, ono of the witnesses (Mr. H. Everest) was represented as having said—" On the evening of the 6th of August, at 6 o'clock in the morning," &c. It should have read----" On the morning of the 6th of August," &c.] POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SAD STORY BY A SOLDIER'S WIFE.—A poor woman, who said her name was Margaret Reed, and that she was the wife of Wm. Reed, a private of the Ist battalion of the 9th Regiment of Foot, applied to Mr. Knox for assistance. The applicant said that her husband was now at Corfu, having gone to that place with a draft of the regiment. At the time he embarked at Portsmouth, two of their five children, whose ages were front 3f to 11 years, were laid up with the measles and were unable to go on board. Another draft of the regiment was to be sent to Corfu at the end of next month, when she would be enabled to go if she could reach Portsmouth with her children. In the meantime she had no means of livin g, and with her chil dren had passed two or three nights on lire steps of doors, and the conseq - ance was that she was suffering from a severe cold, all their clothes having been soaked through. The poor woman handed the magistrate several letters and papers, one a letter from her husband, showing that he land 'served in India and the Crimea, and expressed great an - iety on behalf of his v:ife and family, tut stating that in const.qa -- nee of the regiment having been only such a short time at the station he was unable to assist them. Mr. Knox obs3:ving Mr. Tett, one of the officers of St. James's parish in court, requested him to look into the matter, and, if he could intercede with the authorities to give the poor woman and her family an asylum, to do so. Mr. Tett directed the poor woman to go to St. James's Workhouse, and having assisted in the matter she was at once admitted. Course of the Exchange.--This Day.

The circumstances that have led to its adoption in building operations are that in all the works entirely built of it, each as the Great Western Railway station, Great Northern Railway station, London and North-Western extension of North London, Metropolitan Railway, main drainage works, Blackfriars railway bridge and works, sea wall at Ramsgate for South Coast Railway, &c., it has hOen found to excell all similar preparations in strength and durability. The increasing demand has induced Mr. Greaves to make arrangements for the delivery of the lias in London direct from the kilns in. Warwickshire, and thus an article of the greatest value to the builder will be ready for immediate use.

WESTMINSTER. CHARGE OP STABBING.--COMMITTAL OF THE PRI SONER.—John Johnson, a costermonger, a desperate dook ing man, was charged before Mr. Selfe with stabbing a man named Thos. Box, with a penknife, at the Hoop and Grapes, in the Broadway, Westminster. The complainant, who had a bandage on the left side of his face, stated that about two o'clock the previous after noon he was at the hoop and Grapes, when the prisoner, who was a stringer to him, wanted him to pay for a pint of ale. Complainant refused, when an altercation took place. It was at length agreed that they should have a pint toge ther, and that they should toss for it. They did so, when the prisoner lost, but he refused to pay for it. They again had some words, in the course of which the prisoner sud denly gave him two stabs with a knife in his left cheek. Mr. Selfc—Did you assault the prisoner before he struck you ? Complainant—No, sir. I was taken to the Westminster Hospital, where my wounds were dressed. One of the wounds is within an eighth of an inch of my eye. Wm. Weeks, 36, Spur-street, saw the prisoner strike the complainant. He laid hold of the prisoner and gave him into the custody of Powley. Complainant was taken to the hospital by Taylor, A division. Frances Spinks, a single woman, said that she saw a knife in the hands of the prisoner. Atter he struck the complainant he put it in his pocket (the knife, a clasped penknife, was produced by Powley). Mr. Heritage, house surgeon at the Westminster Hospital, stated that he found two gashes on the complainant's cheek. One was over the eye, extending downwards; the other was under the eye and nearly through the left check. The cuts were about three inches in length. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he was struck by the cnnplainant. The depositions were taken against the prisoner, who was committed for trial, THAMES. BREAKING A MAN'S LEG.— Michael Lynch, alias O'Brian, who was stated to be a returned convict, was charged with committing an assault on Joseph Cummings, who has been in the London Hospital for the last fortnight, and is now under medical treatment and in a very precarious condition. It appeared that the injured man was quarrelling with a woman named Margaret White, at the corner of Dock street, Whitechapel. The prisoner interfered, and struck and kicked Cummings several times, and at last tripped him up and broke his leg. The man wan taken to the hos pital, and it was stated it would be at least three months be fore ho would be in a fit condition to appear and give evi dence. The prisoner, in defence, said that a dog bit Cummings' leg 16 months ago, and he was obliged to go to the hospital. Mr. Woolrych—A bite from a dog would not break a man's leg 16 months afterwards. The prisoner said one of the women engaged in the quarrel bit him on the cheek. Mr. Woolrych eaid he would adjourn the case for three weeks if the prisoner could find bail, but if he could not do so he would remand him for a week. Testing Chain Cables and Anchors. Yesterday a number of scientific gentlemen at tended at the Proving-house of Lloyd's committee, i❑ the New-road, Poplar, for the purpose of wit nessing the mode designed by Mr. T. M. Gladstone, C.E., of testing the merits of chain cables and anchors. Several engineers,shipowners, and masters of vessels were present, and also some ladies and non professionals, who took great interest in the experi ments. The importance of having what is techni cally called the "ground tackle" in a sound and reli able condition has been long felt by seafaring men, inasmuch as however perfect in other respects a ship may be, unless her cables and anchors are trustworthy the lives and property on board may be sacrificed, The attention of the Legislature has been frequently called to the subject, but up to the present time the " collective wisdom" has done nothing to guarantee " Those that go down to the sea in ships" that their ground tackle will be ade quate to its purpose. Last session, Mr. Laird, M.P., the shipbuilder, a gentleman sensitively alive to the importance of the subject, introduced a bill into Parliament for the purpose of making it im perative on shipowners to have their chain cables and anchors properly tested before going to sea, but the bill underwent so many alterations in committee as practically to defeat its original purpose, and it was consequently withdrawn. Lloyd's committee have, however,taken measures which render a compulsory act of parliament almost unnecessary. Government, the Indian Board, and the Emigration Commissioners having refused to charter any vessel not having a certificate tat its "ground tackle has been tested up to the Admi ralty proof, Lloyd's committee have made arrange ments for proving all chains and anchors voluntarily brought to their proving -house, erected last year at Poplar, under tha directions of Mr. Gladstone, their engineer, and further arrangements are now in progress for the erection of similar establishments in almost all the important seaports in the country. The Proving-house at Poplar is about s'►o feet in length, and here a chain cable of about 75 fathoms in length can be proved in one operation, in• stead of having it tested as formerly by the dilatory and less satisfactory process of testing it in sections of from 121 to 15 fathoms, and after wards connecting them by shackles. By a beauti ful and mechanical contrivance invented by Mr, Gladstone, and appropriately designated " Gladstone's Dromedary," the chain, cables, and anchors of a ship are lifted out of a barge in the dock (or from the ship herself when she can be brought alongside), conveyed Into the Proving-house on a railway, which runs from the dock into and along the Proving-house, weighed, deposited in a trough which runs the length of the house, and having been subjected to the re quired strain is coiled up and returned to the ship from whence it was taken with a facility that seems to set the law of gravitation at dcfiance. This en gine performed its work with an ease and celerity which excited the admiration of all present. The dromedary is a substantially made steam-crane, mounted on a four-wheeled truck, provided with means of self-propulsion as a locomotive, and also with means for underrunning cables and driv ing a net of hydraulic: pumps. As a crane, this machine will lift, swing, and lower 10 tons. Sta tioned near the pumps, and working through a universal joint, it will in about two minutes get up a strain of about 300 tons on 'l5 fathoms of cable, and no more thatt slk or sereti filen ineltiding eneacinen, smith, and labourers, are employed in the entire Work of bringitig et kaatile tt author from tbsti tiott, testing, repairing, and redelivering it. The process of lifting the ground tackle from the barge, placing it oh. th e t rl i.,k plAtiched to the dromc cl.at •3 tutiVeyitig• it on tile fail Way into the Proving• house, weighing it, testing it,and returning it to the dock, is accomplished in a few minutes. We have been informed that by the arrangements at the Proving-house as much work can be done in a day as could be accomplished in a week by the old system. A machine for exactly dotermining the arnonnt of strain is fizcd at ono end of the Proving house, from which point a view of the whole opera tion is obtained. The arrangements for the preven, tion of accidents that might arise from the snapping of imperfect chains whil e undergoing the proof are such that no casualty has, occurred to any of the operatives since the Proving -house was opened. Whea a chain cable requires repairs, the. dromedary takes tho forgo to the chain, instead of adopting the more ted ous process of bringing the chain to the forge. ciditiooal works are in progress at the Proving,-hot s by which iw;rcusd facilities for testing will I.e afforded.

The Europe givsstr the following documents which have recently been communicated to the National Assembly at Athens : MESSAGE OF TIIE KING OF TILE lIELLENES TO THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. I thank the Assembly for the now mark of confi dence it has just exhibited towards me in proclaim ing ma of bge six months in advance of the legal term. I will use my best exertions to show myself worthy of that confidence. All my aspirations impel me towards my new country, and I shall leave here for Greece the mo ment that the question relating to the annexation of the lonian Isles permits me. In the meantime the country counts on the patriotism and concord of the National Assembly. (Signed) GEORGE. Copenhagen, July 30, 1863. COUNT SPONNEK. TO M. RUFFO, PRESIDENT OF THE MINIoTERIAL COUNCIL, Mr, President,—His Majesty the King of the Hellenes has instructed the undersigned to thank you for having submitted to him, by your letter of the Bth, the reply of the National Assembly to the letter which his Majesty had ad- dressed to it, and the decree which proclaimed him of age. His Majesty begs you, Mr. President, through me, to be so good as to transmit to the Assembly the royal message sent herewith, written in the Greek language, and signed with his own hand. His Majesty has read with much pleasure the communi cation of your excellency, Irom which it appears that tran• quillity is restored after the regrettable events which oc curred recently at Athens. By the royal message your ex cellency will learn the intentions of his Majesty relative to the epoch of his departure, which is determined by political considerations of high importance. His Majesty instructs me, at the same time, Mr. Presi dent, to add that just as he has every confidence in the Patriotism and spirit of concord of the National Assembly, so he is convinced that the Government also will find in its devotion and the sentiment of duty the firmness and courage necessary to repulse energetically any criminal attempt against the law, the more so as the National Guard, to the lively satisfaction of his Majesty, has shown itself so well worthy of its honourable appellation. (Signed) COUNT SPONNEK. MARKETS--This Day, MARK-LANE. A fair supply of English wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market in fine condition. For all qualities the trade ruled heavy, at fully Monday's decline in the quo tations of is to 2s per quarter. The show of foreign wheat on the stands was large.

The supply of barley was very moderate, and very little new produce was on offer. The trade generally was dull, at barely stationary prices. Good and fine malt was in fair average request, at full quotations. Inferior qualities, however, met a dull in quiry. With oats the market was extensively supplied.

A SALA is thus estimated by 9, discerning Saturday Reviewer :—All that cleverness without thought, or culture, or imagination, can do may be found in his novels, which, if not always unreadable, still will never stand higher than fourth-rate in the ranks of fiction. Minute observation of things rather than of men and cha racter, a large command of that easy and superficial satiro which assAis svcryihinz under the sun, and the copious enunciation of paradoxes which are smart to the car but meaningless to the understanding—ail thi s may for time captivate a certain class of readers, but must always bo dis tinctly preferable to the weary pi&er-human trash which fills most of the three 'volume novels, RUMOURED DESTRUCTION OF THE FEDERAL STEAMSHIP VANDERBILT.—Upon the departure of the Royal Mail steamship Shannon from St. Thomas, a rumour had reached that place that the Alabama had en gaged and sunk the Federal war steamer Vanderbilt oft Havannah, The report, however, required. c?nfirmatien.

From the information obtained it appears that the deceased had gone into the Castle-yard to witness the conclusion of a cricket match in which 11 of the famous All England were engaged. While walking about his attention appeared to be attracted by some object in the cliff, and, stepping over the rails, the treacherous ground gave way under his feet, and thus he was precipitated to the bottom of the cliff. His fall was witnessed by some boys, who informed boatmen Rowbotham and Clark of the accident. The inanimate body was taken from the rocks into the boat, and brought to the harbour. Mr. Robinson was Perfectly unconscious when found, and so heveinained throughout the evening. He died about one o'clock on Thursday morning from the injuries he had received. Sin gular to say, this is the third fatal accident by falling to visitors at Scarborough within a few weeks. The deceased was visiting this place for the benefit of his health, which was very delicate. All extraordinary poisoning case is being inves tigated by the Hull stipendiary magistrate. A surgeon and an innkeeper are in custody on a charge of administering, or attempting to administer, poison to an illegitimate child; and the evidence of the principal witness for the prosecu ticn details conversations between herself and the prisoners, in which that diabolical cbject is alleged to have been avowed in the clearest terms. - I
