titrli 'ambition SPIRIT a the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TUB EVENING PAPERS OF Tills DAY. GLOBE.—Lord Aberdeen's difficulties grow fast upon him. The bombardment of Mogadore has fol lowed quickly on the heels of the bombardment of Tangiers. The Prince de Joinville bombarded Tan giers, and, having done a small modicum of mischief to its outworks, carried off his squadron to Gibraltar. But with Mogadore there has been bombardment and something more. The Prince has taken possession of the island which forms the port of Mogadore. He is establishing a garrison in the island. He has declared the port in a state of blockade. Sir Robert Peel solemnly pledged himself that he will not allow France to acquire territory in Morocco. We take for granted that immediate and full explana tion will be required froM the French Government as to the nature and object of the French Prince's possession of the island of Mogadore. 'We take for granted also that explanation has been already required as to the French Prince's bombardment tof Tangiers before the return of Mr. Hay from his !mission of mediation to the Emperor of Morocco. Lord Aberdeen stated, in the House of Lords, on - the 13th of June, in answer to Lord Clarendon, that the mediation of Great Britain had been :accepted by France and Spain,—by Spain on the earnest interposition of France. Mr. Hay is on his sway back from Morocco; having obtained, it is said, the concession of every material point insisted on by :France and Spain; and, as he nears Tangiers, hears the Prince de Join v ill e ' s cannon . If the 'Prince had waited only four hours, Mr. Hay would have been in Tangiers before a shot was fired. The suc cess of Mr. Hay's mission is immaterial. Even if he had failed in every point, as he is said to have suc ceeded in every material point, a commencement of hostilities by the French Admiral before the result of a mission of mediation, to. which France had consented, was known, is surely a matter demanding explana tion. We say, then, we take for granted that Sir R. Peel has made Lord Aberdeen require explanation from the French Government as to the 'bombardment of Tangiers before Mr. Hay's return. And now be fore the French Government can 'nave received the demand for this explanation---:sefore the French Government can have notified/to its royal Admiral its view of the terms ° l st:allied by Mr. Hay from the Emperor of Moroccs:K,Tilogadore is bombarded —is in ruins ; the - island which commands the town and port is held and garrisoned by the French ; and a French blockade of the port is declared. All this makeS vigilance, firmness, an honourably %Ad front, on England's part, more and more : I .e ° ,4seary. That it will wake Lord Aberd een from esa slumbers, or that any additional amount of (l itseialty could give courage to the craven spirit of 'erte Foreign-office, we do not profess to believe. But hir Robert Peel has now more time to give to foreign ":affairs than while Parliament is sitting. And the Otaheite question is still to settle. The tone of the French Gl o b e (G u i zet ' s organ ) , commenting on a rumour of French proposals on this sub ject, published by the Revue de Paris, is the 'reverse of yielding. However, Sir Robert re-el is pledged that there shall be ample repa e- ration for the outrage on Mr. Pritchard. Whether the recal of M. D'Aub'gny alone w ill be ample re- Loeration, or whether M. Bruat ought to be recalled also, the Government, who at present know more of tbe circumstances than w e can profess to do, are at - present better able to judge than see are. But the question settled, everything that the Government now know the public will know. The public will then be able to judge how Sir Robert Peel's pledge has been kept ; and if it should then appear that M. Bruat, as 'soon as he knew of M. D'Aubigny's proceedings, re pudiated then., and punished his subordinate, the British public will be eager to seco n d th e B r iti s h Go vernment in doing justice to M. Brunt. STA NDARD.—The eagerness with which more than one of our daily Contemporaries fasten upon •any paragraph of the news from Morocco, which may appear to favour their lugubrious predictions, can nly be accounted for by the fact that " the wish is father to the thought." The account of the bom bardment of Mogadore (which can take no one by surprise), conveyed in the telegraphic dispatch of the Prince de Joinville, has afforded another oprortunity for the exercise of this very patriotic vigilance. The Prince has, it is said, taker possession of the island which faces Ilogadore, in order to con vert it and its neighbourhood into a French depen dency. Nothing of the sort. He has directed it to he occupied because the water is so shallow between it and the town which it commands, that only ships of small tonnage can enter ; and because, in fact, is temporary occupation was, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, an absolute necessity, in any ulterior operation, such as sending a military force from Moged ire into the interior, should have 'n contemplated. We cannot, therefore, see in this step even a prima facie violation of the implied compact of the French Government with the other Eureican powers. One of our Contemporaries, indeed, appears to have created the giant for the express purpose of demolishing it. "If this occupation continue after its necessity has ceased —if other places are occupied in the same way without excuse, or retained after the causes which may be supposed to jnstify their occupa tion have ceased—then a breach of trust has been committed— a grois wrotlidone, for which this coun try is bound to demand reparation and redress." If is a great peace-etsksr, and is wisely emplo3 ed in this instance to let down gently the writer's indigna tion. Without considering the contingency thus contemplated ss a probable one, we may remark that there is at present no pretext for these apprehen sions • still less for increasing the irrit a ti on w hi c h already prevails in France, by loud and idle boasts of what England would do under circumstances which have yet to happen—the more especially as our Contemporary hardly disguises his belief that they are never likely to happen. Another of our neigh bours, keener sighted and even more sensitively alive to the best interests of England than the journalist we have just quoted, has discovered in the occupation of a small island, little more than a mile in circumfer ence, by the Prince de Joinville, for the purpose, it is probable, of covering the supplies which may have hereafter to be conveyed through the port of Mogalore, which it helps to form, for the service of the French troops in the interior, a positive casus belli ; with a dis tinct understanding, however, that ie e are to take the de finition of the phrase from the columns of the hypotheti cal advocate for war to whom we have already refurred. Both definiti ins, positive and hypothetic, are, we are persuaded, alike unfounded, and as ill-timed as the merriment indulged in by the Morning Chronicle over the recent dispatch of General Bugeaud for which the account of the capture of the personal baggage of the Emperor's son (" a portmanteau, we suppose, full of shirts and babouches") affords the excuse. These are not times in which scoffs and jeers as pitiable as those of which the above is a sample, or hypothetical imputations of perfidy and bad faith, should be lightly indulged in. IRELAND. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, Auc. 26.—The usual weekly meeting of the Association was held this day in the Conciliation Hall. On the motion of H. D. BROWNE, M.P., the chair was taken by Sir Valentine Blake, The CHAIRMAN returned thanks for the honour con • ferred upon him, and then proceeded to address the meeting at some length. On concluding he was loudly ikeered. Mr. J. KELLY, M.P., commenced the business of the day by handing in several remittance=. He said he had the honour to act for Mr. Smith O'Brien during his ab sence. Mr. O'CoNNELL handed in several sums of money, and then stated that the monster address to the Queen had been forwarded last week to Sir James Graham for presentation. HQ then read the folios ing letter acknow ledging its receipt : " Whitehall, August 23, 1844. "Sir,—l am directed-by Secretary Sir James Graham to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 12th instant, and to inform you that Sir James Graham has laid before her Majesty the address, signed by a large number of natives and inhabitants of Ireland, ',illicit was transmitted by you to Sir James Graham far that pur pose. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, "11. MANNERS SUTTON." " Mr. Martin Crean, Corn Exchange rooms, Dub.in." General CLOONEY addressed the meeting. Mr. R. D. Ea which the repeal NE ' Ml.'" described the position in by which that position stood, and eulogised the means of moral h l ad been attained. It was to the new philosophy to be attributed. Tl'ea: agitation that their success was respect for the social relations of life, and strict observanceA of the laws, had drawn upon them the eyes of n o d f m ra n t f c Europe—had procured for them the sympathy inexhaustible aid of America. France, the generous and gave them the highest were aris ing every day which h o p es .— (Cheers.) No moment could be more opportuneuntr for the o y people to struggle for the amelioration of th t in the pre..;ent. Whether he looked to the east c or to the west, lie found embarrassments cross (I n • Is upon Eng land—from the Society Islands to the territory of Ore gon, from Hinclostan to Algiers. In every qua r t er of the world were visible the giant shadows of the coria!ng revolution.—(Cheers.) Mr. J. KELLY, M.P., handed in 11., the monthly sub scription of Mr. Smith O'Brien, during the captivity ; and then read a letter from that gentleman, in which he stated his intention of being in Dublin on the 3d of Sep ti roger. The following are extracts from the letter:— " I avail myself of this opportunity to remove a mis conception which may arise from a statement made by Mr. D. O'Connell, jun., at the last meeting of the Asso ciation. I have not recommended the adoption of any resolution against the use of tobacco or other taxable commodities. Though the conduct of the English Go vernment towards the Irish people has been such as fully to justify this resolution, I am not prepared to ask the repealers of Ireland to deprive themselves of any healthful enjoyment, unless some great national object can be promoted by such a sacrifice. It is right, how- ever, that both Government and the people should con- template such a determination as a probable contingency. " A temperance pledge, limited for the present to the period at which the repeal of the union shall be attained, appears to me to possess many advantages. Larger con tributions to the national treasury could be more easily made by each subscriber, in consequence of the savings effected under a system of total abstinence. Above all, it would furnish to mankind an undeniable evidence of the earnestness of the national determination. " I can, however, by no means advise that the adop tion of this pledge should be considered as a test of patriotism. Many individuals may be very sincere lovers of their country and very ardent advocates of domestic legislation, who would be unwilling to bind themselves , by any such arrangement. "With regard to the use of Irish manufactures, there is, at present, considerable difficulty in excluding from consumption the competing productions of England ; but it ought to be the aim of every true Irishman to give a preference to the produce of Irish industry." Mr. KELLY then proceeded to state that when the ac count reached Limerick that it was the intention of the repealers to relinquish the use of tobacco, one of his constituents,, a manufacturer of that article, and who paid 500/. weekly as duty, offered in the most generous manner to shut up his stores, if by that means he could advance the cause of repeal.— (Cheers ) The name of this gentleman was John Spalade, or, as he was called, " honest John Spalade." He mentioned this circum stance to show the determination of the people. Mr. J. M`NEvne, barrister, brought forward the re port of the Parliamentary Committee on the opening of the Post-office letters, which denounced the system in the most marked and emphatic manner. The Rev. Air. Cotlomeeer addressed the meeting on the subject of the Charitable Bequests Bill, which lie denounced, deprecating the interference of laymen in matters affecting ecclesiastical discipline. Mr. D. O'CONNELL then rose to make his usual weekly return from the prison. He said the repeal mar tyrs were, as usual, in excellent health and spirits, cheered at the tranquillity of the country, and the spirit He perseverance evinced by all parts of Ireland. He had learned from his father that he was de lighted that Mr. Smith O'Brien should have taken the subject of the pledges into his consideration, convinced that whatever that gentleman decided upon would be the wisest and best course to be adopted by the Association, who must have the most unlimited confidence in his patriotism and wisdom. He knew that his father felt great anxiety respecting the Parliamentary voters ; all that was wanted was their coming up to be registered. There were more than 150 registries still undisposed of, and if the claimants would , not come up, the court would be closed and the oppor- ' tunity lost. These men could mitigate the inconve nience of Mr. O'Connell's imprisonment, by placing themselves on the Parliamentary roll ; the neglect to do so was really a crime against Ireland, who had many cordial enemies, and ought to have a multitude of active friends. He was happy to state that he knew it was Mr. O'Connell's thorough conviction that the hour was coming for repeal, and coming fast. The English Government would want, no one knew how soon, " the lion heart and stout hand of Ireland ;" and they could have both, by the simple process of doing justice to the Irish people. The Irish had but one resource, and that was in them selves, a re source that would be found quite available %%hen English statesmen were wise enough to perceive that Ireland ought to be conciliated.—(Cheers.) After some further business had been gone through, Mr. J. KELLY announced the rent for the week to be 634/. 13s. l ld.—(Loud cheers.) CITY OF DUBLIN RE:3ISTRY—THE TORIES. The state of the Parliamentary registration for this city affords a practical evidence of the rapid decay of that Orange fervour which preceded the last general election. Day by day the Liberals obtain a majority, and the Tories now can scarcely muster a claimant. On Saturday the Liberals registered seventeen electors, whilst the Orange party did not bring up a single man ! An effort was made by Mr. Cary, who acted as counsel for the Tories, to Induce the registering barrister to close the session, but he peremptorily refused. The registry is again in progress this day, and the Liberals are still increasing their majority. INQUEST ON CAPTAIN G. 11. ELIOTT. On Wednesday last our town was thrown into a state of no inconsiderable excitement, in consequence of a re port being rather prevalent that Captain Granville Hey wood Eliott, of the 4th Dragoon Guards, and a small boy, his servant, of about twelve years of age, of the name of Curley, were drowned at the Long Island. Ac cordingly one of the gun-boats was immediately manned, and repaired to the spot, accompanied by a number of small boats. After dragging the river for some time, the rumour turned out a sad reality. The first thing they succeeded in finding was the boat, and within a very few yards of where the boat was raised both bodies were found, almost side by side, grasped in the strong arms, of death. When the boats arrived at the Canal Harbour the bodies were carried on a bier to barracks, where the inquest was held by Mr. E. Lynch, Coroner. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned the following verdict : —" We find that Granville Heywood Eliott, and his boy, Patrick Curley, came by their death accidentally, being found drowned on the 21st of August, 1844, in the river Shannon, by falling out of a boat, and were then and there suffocated and drowned, and that the said boat was the cause of the death of the said G. H. Eliott and Pwrick Curley, and is of the value of one pound, and do award it as a deodand to the Queen." Captain Granville Heywood Eliott was the only son of a retired artillery officer, Colonel Eliott, of Vale brook-lodge, near Hastings, in Susse x , an d h as a l so l e f t a mother andl a sister to lament his premature death. lle joined the 4th as Cornet, at Brighton, in March, 1835, and from that period enjoyed the closest intimacy and friendship with all his brother officers, by whom he was greatly beloved and esteemed, and was only in his twenty-ninth year. We regret to say that since then the father of Curley (the boy who lost his life with Captain Eliott), a poor' old man residing at Athlone, to the melancholy fate of his son so much to heart that he has died from grief.—Athlone Sentinel.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) Business remains in the same state as last week ; the yarn market being steady with firm prices; the goods market very quiet, with a slight tendency to decline. Stocks of every kind are still very low. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, AUG. 26.—The market to-day has been but dull, and the business transacted very limited. The wool market has also been very quiet, with no change in prices. Another failure of a small manufacturer is announced, and the chief creditors are, as usual, the wool dealers. NARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Aug. 27.) SlTGAR.—Previous rates have been sustained for West India of all descriptions, and a good demand has prevailed for bright yellow sorts, of which there is mly a moderate quantity still in the market. To-day there was less inclination shown to purchase %Vest India Sugar. From Grocers and Refiners the demand was limited, and the rates accepted were 6,1 per cwt under those of Friday for brown and inferior sorts, but good and fine yellow maintained the former currency. A public sale of Barbadoes Sugar went hea vily at a further decline in price of 6d per ewt. ; low, yellow at 56s to 56s 6d, mid 57s to 58s, good mid 59s to 60s, good 60s 6d to 61s 6d, and fine 64s to 64s 6d per cwt ; the trade generally still entertain a prejudice to wards this sort of Sugar. REFINED.—The market has assumed a firmer appear ance for Refined Sugar ; the demand from the home trade has been good, and stiffer rates given. To-day refined goods were in excellent request by the home trade ; Brown lumps at 735, and standard lumps 74s to 4s 6d per cwt. The market is firm for bonded crushed Sugars, and there are no sellers under 27s 6d per cwt for first quality. AURITIUS.—A fair demand has prevailed by private contract, especially for the better qualities, and former rates are sustained. This afternoon buyers were less desirous to purchase, and a part only was disposed or, but full rates were obtained; fine yellow fetched 61s to t;:3s, good 60s to 60s 6d, good mid 57s 6d to 595, mid 54s Gd to 56s 6d, low 53s to 545, fine brown 52s to 52s Gd, good 60s to sls 6d, and ord 48s to 49s 6d per cwt. I - EAST INDIA.—For Bengal the demand has increased, and s by private treaty several parcels cf strong yellow and the bett er sor t s o f w hi te h ave been disposed of at rather higher rates. This afternoon 572 bags of Bengal Sugar were offered at auction ; nearly the whole was damaged, and of low quality, and was chiefly taken in ; brown drainage damaged at 42s to 475, low soft yello w :)ls to 525, damp ditto, 605,10 w soft white 56s 6d, a n d damp ditto 555 per cwt. There was less business doing by private contract, and easier rates were accepted for common sorts. FOREIGN.—The mar k et has still a firm appearance for all descriptions of Foreign Sug ar ; f or White Havaunah there has been a better .demand, a n d t h e rates paid are ra ther above those previously quoted. To-day the mar ket was better supplied ; at public sale 587 boxes 18 brls ut Cuba, and 1,292 boxes Havannah were brought for ward ; nearly the whole was disposed of ; white fetched full rates, but brown and yellow 6d to le per c w t cheaper. ('uba, good white fetched 27s to 28s, low to mid 25s to 26s 6d, washed 24s 6d, good sound yellow 20s to 20s 6d, mid 19s 6d, low 18s to 18s 6d, washed 19s ; Havannah went at 31s to 31s 6d for fine white, 29s to 30s for good, 28s 6(1 for mid, 23s to 27s 6d for damaged, 20s to 20s 6d for good sound yellow, 19s Gd for mid, 17s 6d to 18s 6d for low, 18s Gd to 19s for damaged, and 16s to 17s for low to good sound brown. MOLASSES.—For West India prices are kept low by the heavy stock ; a good demand however has prevailed. This afternoon some parcels of West India were sold privately, but at the low rates of 20s to 24s per cwt. Those parties however that were anxious to rea lise, have mostly disposed of their stocks. FRUIT.—In Currants there has been a good business transacted ; the supply is falling off, and prices rule firm at 47s to 49s for Patras, and 41s to 43s per cwt for Zante and Cephalonia. To-day accounts were re ceived from the Islands and the Morea, up to the 11th August, stating that the Currant crop had been much injured, and would be less than it was last year. Holders here, in consequence, displayed increased firmness; indeed, several of them would not name a price. The nearest quotations are 48s to 51s for Patras, and 42s to 45s for Zante and Cephalonia. Raisins have met with ready purchasers ; red Smyrna at 43s to 445, and Sun 38s per cwt. COPFEE.—The trade have_ shown little inclination to purchase Wrest India Coffee, and the market having been better supplied, a decline in prices of 2s per cwt has taken place. This afternoon Havannah of sound quality was all taken in above the value, fine ordinary at 43s 6d to 44s 6d, good ordinary 39s to 41s; the damaged at moderate rates, first class at 33s 6d to 35s 6d, second do 31s 6d, third ditto 28s Gd, and sea damaged and re packed 275. Ceylon was taken in is above the value, good ordinary at 565, and ordinary 54s ; 70 bags were, however, sold at 57s for fine ordinary, and 46s 6d to 54s for damaged in the country. Trinidad fine fine ordinary at 62s to 655, fine ordinary 56s to 60s, and ordinary 50s to 52s per cwt. TEA.—The market has a firm appearance for nearly every description of Tea. None has been offered at auc tion. Common Congou has been fetching I Oid to 11d, good common I lid to is Wol, but middling and middling blackish leaf is ld to is 3d, good blackish leaf is 31-d to Is 6d, fine and Pekoe descriptions is 6/d to 2s 4d, Pouchong at sid to 9d for common to good, and superior 91d to is per lb. Souchong has met with a slow sale, and prices are not so firm. Scented Orange Pekoe was in brisk demand, and the supply being small prices continue high; sales made at 3s Id to 3s 5d per lb. Plain Orange Pekoe at Is 7d to 2s 4d. Twankay, Is 2d to Is 3d paid for com mon, is 4d to Is 8d for middling to middling brightish leaf, and is 9d to 2s 5d for superior Hyson kind. Gun powder and Imperial have been disposed of at very full rates. For Hyson 2s M to 2s 6d per lb is the value of common quality. In Young Hyson and Caper more business has been transacted, and prices have an upward tendency. For Black and common Green Tea prices rule under those of last season, but for fine sorts they are rather above those of that time. To day several parcels of Tea were sold at firm rates ; sound common Congou, cash, is not to be purchased under 11(1 per lb. SPlCES.—lmporters of Cassia Lignea are still anxious sellers, and have submitted to a reduction on previous rates of is to 2s per cwt. Nutmegs have met with more attention, and full rates paid. Singapore fine bold brown at 5s 2d, good 3s Sd to 3s 9d, good middling 3s 6d to 3s 7d middling 3s 4d to 3s sd, low middling 3s, and worm eaten 6d to is ld. Mace, Singapore fine bright at 5s 7d, good 4s Gd to 4s 9d, middling 3s 2d to 3s 6d, inferior 2s Bd, mouldy is 10.1—a very small part for exportation only was, however, taken in at is per lb for low old. Cloves have fallen 2d per lb, Penang at 2s 5d to 2s 7d for fine bold bright, and 2s to 2s 3d for good. Black Pepper is held for the former value. Cinnamon 2d to 3d per lb above those of the last quarterly sale. RlCE.—lmporters of Bengal are not inclined to sub mit to any further decline in prices, and have refrained from offering any at public sale. This afternoon there was a limited demand only for Bengal Rice, and 1,183 bags at auction were partly disposed of, but full prices were obtained ; mid pearly white went at lOs 6d to 11s, good mid lls to 11s Gd, sea damaged first class lOs 6d to 11 s, second and third ditto 7s Gd to 10s, sea damaged and repacked 8s 6d to 9s, Indigo ditto lOs 6d to lls 6d ; the remainder was taken in at 12s to 12s 6d fir fine bold sound white, and lls Gd to 12s per cwt for good, being above the value ; fair market rates were offered. RUM, BBANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—AII descriptions of Jamaica Rum are much wanted, and further improved rates have been paid, but, in importers' hands, there is little undisposed of. Leeward Island Rum, at 2s 4id to 2s 5d per gallon, proof. Demerara at 3s 5d to 3s 7d for fine quality 36 to 41 per cent overproof. Calcutta at 2s 2id to 2s 3d per gallon, proof strength.

Cocoa.—There has been a brisk demand for West India, and a further advance in prices of is to 2a per cwt has taken place. This afternoon West India was sought after, and some parcels have been disposed of privately at firm rates ; 41 bags 18 brls Trinidad at auc tion went at an advance on the rates of the last auctions of is per cwt, .and-sold at 42s to 43s for mid red, 40s for low, and 37s for rery low grey. INDIGO.—The market is firm, and a good export de mand still exists for all descriptions. This afternoon Spanish Indigo was wanted, but higher rates being asked checked business, and 137 serons of Guatemala at public sales were all withdrawn 2d per lb abuve the value. COCHINBAL.—This afternoon there was an increased demand for Cochineal; at auction 40 serons Honduras, and 31 bags Vera Cruz were offered, and nearly the whole sold at full rates ; the former, fine bold silvers at 4s lld to ss, low to good black 4s 10d to 5s 8d; the latter at 4s 6d to 4s7d for mid silvers rather damp, 4s 10d to 4s lld for low and mid blacks. SALTPETRE—There has been a much better demand for Rough, and the rates paid are on a par with those of this day week ; Calcutta, middling grey 20.1 per cent. refraction 23s 6d to 245, 131 to 91 per cent. middling ditto 24s to 24s 6d, 3 1 i per cent fine grey bold chrystals 26s 6d, 24 to 2 per cent. good white 26s 6d, unrefrac ted 21s to 25s 6(1.

NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 26. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) rARRAR u. DEFLINNE. This case, which had occupied the Court from about Friday noon, came to a conclusion this afternoon. The question was (as has been before stated) whether the defendant was, at the time of the liability incurred to the plaintiff, a partner in the firm of Todd and Co., of Manchester. Notwithstanding the great length of the case, it was from the very nature of the point in issue a dry repetition of acts and declarations from which the partnership might be inferred. Mr. BAINES having concluded his case, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL addressed the jury on be half of the defendant, and commented very ably upon those features of the case which bore in favour of the defendant. He did not call any witnesses. The Learned JUDGE summed up the case briefly, without going through the details -of the evidence, and the jury after having retired for a few minutes returned into Court, and delivered a verdict fur the plaintiff— Damages 1,2351. GRIM. CON.- WOOD V. MONK. This was an action for crim. con., alleged to have taken place between the defendant and the wife of the plaintiff. Mr. Knowles and Mr. Hoggins appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Watson and Mr. Atherton for the defendant. Mr. lisowLEs, in stating the case to the jury, ob served that the injury of which the plaintiff had to com plain was one of the d.:epest that a man could sustain, and which could be brought before a court of justice. The plaintiff was a stone-mason by trade. He had also been the keeper of a tavern. About 11 years ago he married a beautiful young woman, who had since borne him three children, and with whom he had lived upon the most affectionate terms. He for some time resided at Preston. About three years ago he went to keep the Heske:h Arms Inn, at Southport, but in 1E42 he returned to Preston, and conducted an inn known as the sign of the Grapes and Punchbowl. The defendant was a person of respectable station in life, being an alderman of the bo rough of Preston, in which town he had fir many years carried on an extensive practice as a surgeon. In that character he had been introduced to the plaintiff's house, and had taken advantage of the facility which these cir cumstances and the misfortuaes of the plaintiff gave him to effect the ruin of the plaintiff's peace. The plaintiff did not succeed in his undertaking, and was sent to Lan caster Castle, from which place he obtained his libera tion under the Insolvent Debtors' Act. In the mean time, his wife carried on the business of the inn. The defendant was called in to attend her professionally, and taking advantage of those circumstances, effected her ruin. On the subject he (the Learned Counsel) would add nothing, but leave it to the jury to say what da mages such a defendant ought to pay to the plaintiff, whom he had so deeply injured. A woman named Mercer was then called, who stated that she had lived servant with the wife of the plaintiff during his absence at Lancaster ; that about the Bth of October last year her mistress sent her to the defendant to tell him to come and see her, as she was ill. The witness went, and soon after the defendant came. He and her mistress went into the back parlour. While there a men came for a glass of spirits, and offered Gd., which witness took to the parlour to get charge from her mistress. On opening the door she saw the defen dant and her mistress in a position which she described. She drew back, gave the man his sixpence, and let him go on trust. On another occasion her mistress had a swelling on her finger, and sent witness for defendant. He came, and they went up stairs together. 'Witness went to the room to ask her to change a half-sovereign for a customer, when she found them both in bed toge ther. 'Witness was then single, but had since got married. On cross-examination she denied that she had ever seen the plaintiff strike his wife till after his return from Lancaster, and that she had not been offered 201. or 51. by the plaintiff to prove his case, but had been told she should be well paid, and have her expenses clear. Mrs. Proctor, a married woman, stated that in Ja nuary last she went as servant to the inn, and detailed some occurrences similar to those deposed to by the last witness. On cross-examination she admitted that she did not live with her husband ; sho had been parted from hill . ' three times. He was the ostler at the inn at Boscough bridge. She had lived in the house of the plaintiff since his wife had left. Mr. WATSON addressed the jury on behalf of the de fendant, and urged the immense importance of this case to his client, who, as a married man, with a family, holding a respectable position in life, and being of a pro fession in which the most ri g id integrity w as necessary to insure or ret a i n succes s, had everything at stake in this cause. He then commented on the nature of the evidence which had been adduced, its unlikelihood, the contradictions between the two witnesses, and all the circumstances of the case, which, he contended, deprived their testimony of any credibility whatever. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to call witnesses to contradict the case of the plaintiff, and the case was adjourned at seven o'clock. CROWN SlDE.—(Before the LORD Cniir BARON.) CHARGE OF MURDER.—Owen Leonard was indicted for the wilful murder of his wife, Bridget Leonard, and inflicting several wounds on her body with a razor. Mr. Hulton and Mr. Drinkwater conducted the prose cution; the prisoner was defended by Mr. W. M'Oubrey. It appeared from the statement of James Leonard, the principal witness for the prosecution, a boy twelve years of age, that his father, the prisoner, was a tailor, living in Peter-street, in this town. The deceased was his mother. There was a family of six children, of whom the witness only was residing at home. The de ceased was in the habit of letting part of the houso to lodgers, and on the 27th of July the attic was occu pied by a person named Livingstone and his wife. There was another male lodger in the house whose name did not appear. On the ev en i ng o f t h at d ay th i s boy had retired to bed in a room on the first floor, where the deceased and the prisoner sl e p t. H e had on going to bed left them and Livingstone and his wife and the other lodger in the kitchen below. He was awakened by a noise, and found that it was th e l o d ger s i ng i ng ; and he then heard the voice of his father in angry altercation insisting upon the lodger leaving the house. The boy came down stairs, and found the lodger on the point of departing. After he was gone, the prisoner continued very angry. He called the deceased a w —e, and accused her of misconduct with one John Guest, who had been a lodger several years before. Soon after the Livingstones went to their room, and were let up stairs by deceased. The prisoner followed to the room on the first floor, and the boy saw his father put something bright into his pocket. He went up to th e room of the L i v i ngstones and desired his wife to come down stairs. He himself went down to the kitchen and barred and fastened the door and window. The deceased soon after came down, and the prisoner recommenced his abuse of her on the subject of John Guest, and used the same opprobrious epithet as before. She only replied, " Are you sure ?" which she repeated several times. She was sitting in a chair behind the door, and the prisoner struck her with his fist somewhere about the f ace , an d th en t oo k;" th e bright thing" out of his pocket, which proved to be a razor, and began cutting her about the throat. The boy cried " Murder!" and endeavour e d to pul l h i m away. b ut h e repeated the blows in different parts of his unfortunate victim. The boy at last got the door open and ran for the police. In the meantime Michael Hamilton, a neighbour, came to the door and endeavoured to push it open. The parties were behind it, and he could only get hold of the hair of the prisoner, who again forced the door to. Ou a second attempt he forced an entrance, and found the deceased lyi ng on the ground, an d t h e prisoner standing over her, striking her with something he held in his hand. He said to the prisoner, " You old villain, what are you doing to your wife ?" He then found that the nose of the unfortunate woman was entirely cut from her face, and she had a severe gash upon her cheek. The witness ran to call the police, and the unfortunate woman in th e meant i me craw l e d parti ally out of the door, saying f a i nt l y , " K eep hi m i n , keep him in ; put something to me , I shall die ; he has cut my throat." The prisone r th en pus h e d h er w ith his foot, when she fell out on th e p avement, an d h e s hut the door to. Several policem en com i ng up s h e was c arried to the house of a surgeon, and thence to the hospital, but died from loss of blood before she arrived there. The prisoner was found in the middle of the kitchen floor washing his hands, and being asked why he had com mitted the act, said she was an old b—h. He seemed to have been drinking, but yet to know what he was about. On examination of the b o dy o f th e deceased, it was i found that several frightf u l woun d s h a d been nflicted on the face, neck, legs, a n d t hi g h s , one on the latter being seven inches long and near six inches deep... The lateral jugular vein and th e f emora l artery were divided. Mr. APOUDREY addressed the jury for the defence, and contended that the prisoner was insane ; and that, at all events, under the provocation stated, the offence did not amount to more than manslaughter and called several witnesses in support of the first position, but who failed to make out that defence. The Learned JUDGE summed up the case very elabo rately, and th e j ur y, a f ter a f e w minutes' retirement, went, found a verdict of Guilty of manslaughter. The prisoner w as sen t ence d to be transported for life. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron G URNEY and Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) Thomas White was indicted for a similar offence upon Elizabeth Farrer, a child nine years old. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of an aggra• vated assault. The same prisoner was also indicted for a similar offence upon Nancy Burrows, a girl of the same age. The jury returned the same verdict as in the for mer case. _ _ There were two other indictments for similar of fences against the prisoner, but they were not pro ceeded with. Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN sentenced the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for eighteen months upon each conviction. William Simmons, 17, was indicted for feloniously killing a mare, the property of Henry Holmes. Mr. Brierlv, at the request of the Court, examined the witnesses for the prosecution, and Mr. Payne de fended the prisoner. It appeared that the prosecutor is a cowkeeper and milkman, and the prisoner was in his service, and employed to look after the mare in question. On the 9th of July, in consequence of some information he received, the prosecutor examined the mare, and found she had sustained a most dreadful injury, from the effects of which the animal died two or three days afterwards. A little girl was examined as e. witness, who spoke to seeing the prisoner injure the animal with a pitchfork; but the evidence as. to the fact, and also as to the prisoner's intention, 1N14.6 not very.clearly made out. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. This case concluded the business of the session, and the Court then adjourned to Monday, September 16. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) The following cases were disposed of late on Mon day evening : * Henry Burton, described as a toll-collector, was indicted for the manslaughter of Henry Spence, at the parish of Whitechapel. Mr. O'Brien conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prisoner. The circumstances of the case will be fresh in the recollection of our readers, as they have been given very fully within the last few days. The prisoner had been very much annoyed and insulted by the de ceased and a number of other boys, and, unhappily, in a moment of excitement, he struck the deceased a blow on the head, which occasioned his death. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, coupled with a strong recommendation to mercy, and judg ment was respited until the next session. William Adam Postlethwaite pleaded Guilty to a charge of assault upon Eliza Augusta Townsend, with intent to commit felony. Judgment in this case was also respited, but the defendant was allowed to go at large upon finding sureties for his appearance at the next sessions. Henry Stephenson was indicted for maliciously throwing a stone upon the South Western Railway, and thereby endangering the safety of the passengers pa3sing upon the railway. The defendant pleaded Guilty. Mr. BODKIN, who conducted the prosecution on behalf of the London and South Western Railway Company, said that it was instituted for the purpose of showing the public that such offences could not be committed with impunity. In the hope that the present proceeding would have the effect of prevent ing such offences from being committed in future, the Company were not desirous of pressing fur any punishment, and if the Court felt that such an arrangement could be entered into, they would be satisfied if the defendant enteral into his own recog nisance to appear and 'receive the judgment of the Court when required to do so. The COMMON SERGEANT remarked that the offence was a most serious one, inasmuch as the lives of thousands of the subjects of the Crown were put in jeopardy by it, and it must be distinctly understood that the utmost penalty of the law would be enforced against all persons found so offending in future. The defendant, having entered into the required recognisances, was discharged from custody. NEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) ASSAULT. — Daniel lll‘Diarmid, captain of the Pro. tomelia, was charged with assaulting Samuel John M`Dovvall, on Friday, the s:h of July, on the high seas. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor, a most intelligent but friendless boy, that he was ordered to clean a part of the ship. He went for a broom to do so, and the captain seeing him with it, struck him with his hand, pulled the broom from him, and gave him a blow with the handle of the broom. It would appear that the captain acted in this manner, because there was anold broom which he might have taken. He was obliged to lie by that night and part of the next day, when he came to him and asked to see the boy's thigh. After having stripped himself, the captain beat him with a rope about an inch and a half thick. After this he refused to do any more work till they came to London, the assault having been committed below Dungeness. It also appeared from the statement of the boy that on Sunday, the 7th, he violently pressed his neck, and said if he did not work he would break his neck. When they arrived in London the . captain was brought before a magistrate, and was committed to take his trial at this Court. There was a witness in the case, but when called he was not forthcoming. Mr. DOANE said that the captain acted as he did under the impression that the boy was feigning illness, in order that he might not work, and the ,boy admitted that the captain was very kind before the assault occurred. The captain was willing to make him some compensation. The RECORDER thought that would be the best way to settle the matter. The boy had acted in a manly, straightforward manner, in not submitting to be treated unjustly ; but the Court was willing to believe th a t th e captain had acted under a false impression. He would direct the jury to find a verdict of guilty, and the Court would then settle the amount of compensation. The jury having found the prisoner Guilty, Mr. Dos.NE, on his behalf, offered 10/. compensation, which was accepted as fair and liberal. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, having, by the di rection of Sir John Pirie, written on Saturday to the owner of the ship John Campbell, in consequence of a statement made in the justice-room, charging the supercargo of that vessel with desperate offences alleged to have been committed on the coast of Africa, received the following answer, which he handed to the Lord Mayor : _ _ " Liverpool, Aug. 26, 1844. to ‘ s ‘ t S a i t ri e, --In for threepily nco to rm y a o t u i r on le o tt i er s o ir f j th o e hn 24 r tb ine n , sti. th , a I t begmy ship, the John Campbell, has not yet arrived from Africa, and I scarcely know when to expect her. I do not know whether any others of the crew are in this country, and I have no reason to suppose Captain Burnley would commit such an act as that with which it appears he is charged by the man Laidlow. A mutiny took place on board the John Campbell soon after her arrival at Calabar, which was quelled by the interference of the King. I perceive that Laidlow, the complainant, was one of the mutineers, and having observed in the Lon don papers a long account of his examination before Sir John Pirie, I have deemed it but justice to Captain Burnley (and to prevent the public forming an erro neous opinion of the case from exaggerated statements), to publish the deposition and statement of the mutiny, which I received from Captain Burnley on the Bth of June last, and to which paper I refer for further parti culars. " I beg to remark that Captain Burnley was put on board the John Campbell by the charterers of that vessel as supercargo only, but assumed the command by my authority on the death of Captain Nelson. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " WILLIAM SHARP. " To S. R. Goodman, Esq., Mansion-house, London." Sir John Pirie, who, it will be recollected, said, upon reading the written statement of the seaman, which was signed by that applicant and another of the crew, that it was possible the persons who com plained were mutineers, mentioned, upon reading the letter of the owner, that he considered it due to Capt. Burnley to give the same publicity to the statement an .I opinion of the owner which the extraordinary accusation had received. The Loan MAYOR acquiesced in Sir John Pirie's view of the matter, and said that the circumstances should be entered into when the necessary informa tion reached hand. Laidlow, the seaman, upon being told that his Lordship would, on a future day, take cognisance of the case, stated that he should be punctually in attendance. Captain Wheeler, of one of the Woolwich steam boats, was summoned for having, by the swell occa sioned by the rapid motion of the vessel, overset a waterman's boat and tumbled him into the water. Hiram Howard, a waterman, stated that, as he was rowing on Thursday morning, in the river, the steam-boat of which the defendant was captain was proceeding at a most rapid rate, and the consequence was that the wherry was stove in and upset, and the owner's life was endangered. The captain stated that as he was obliged to look forward, he could not see the complainant, or he would have eased his vessel in time to prevent the accident, which, however, was insignificant, as the waterman was shot over into very shallow water. He denied that the vessel was going at a furious pace. The complainant said the surf raised by the Wool wich vessels, was often in consequence of the extreme rapidity with which they went along, often seven or eight feet high, and that the depth of the water into which he was pitched was about three feet. The LORD MAYOR—We are passing regulations which will put an end to all those dangers and dis putes, and as no great damage has been done in this case, and we shall rigidly act upon our new by-laws the moment they are passed, I shall allow the defen dant to settle the muter with the waterman who has sustained the injury. A young man named David Williamson, one of those fellows who are constantly on the look-out , for countrymen, was charged by Mr. William Harman, merchant, of Leeds, with having endeavoured to do him out of 401. The complainant, a person of very comfortable ap pearance, about fifty years of age, went, it appears, into an eating-house, and sat down to a chop, and the defendant walked into the same box, and likewise fell to work with a knife and fork. A conversation commenced, in which the complainant, although a Yorkshireman, very readily joined without at all suspecting his new acquaintance. The defendant said that his father was a man of fortune, and that he came to town to buy a horse to run in a match with another in the old gentleman's phaeton, and that the complainant could assist him in making the pur chase. The complainant consented, and it was quite evident, that if he had happened to have 401. about him, the defendant and some fellows who were co operating with him would have become possessed of it by one of those manoeuvres which prove so frequently successful at fairs and markets. Mr. Barman, however, not being supplied with ready cash to answer any more than his immediate occa casions, luckily called at the counting-house of a gentleman of the name of Pond, his broker, for the purpose of getting the amount, taking the defendant with him. Mr. Pond, upon looking at the defendant, at once suspected that he was a flat-catcher, and asked Mr. Harman who he was ? " Oh, he is a friend of mine," replied the Yorkshireman. " How did you get acquainted with him ?" asked Mr. Pond. " Oh, I met him at dinner," said Mr. Harman. The consequence was, that the defendant completely lost his chance of plundering Mr. Harman. It may appear rather surprising that a Yorkshire man was so near being victimised; but it came out in THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

Then she had warrants of distress filled up in the most formal manner, and testimonials from clergy men in abundance. She had not carried on her system of imposture with impunity, as will appear by the following list (which Horsford read) :—Committed by Mr. Shutt, at Marylebone, for two months, for a fraud on Lady Beverly, on the 21st of August, 1835. On this occasion she represented herself as a widow with five children, which was untrue. 15th August, 1836, committed for one month by Mr. Dyer, for obtaining money on false pretences from Sir J.

December 23, 1841, ditto by Mr. Greenwood, one month. April 14, 1842, sentenced t o nine months' imprisonment by Sergeant Adams, at the Middlesex Sessions ; the prisoner's counsel, however, had the sentence remitted, in consequence of an informality in the indictment. October 11, 1842, committed for one month, by Mr. Rawlinson. June 5, 1843, ditto for three months, by Mr. Rawlinson. January 22, 1844, ditto by Mr. Greenwood, three months, fur a fraud on Mrs. Rashleigh, of Russell-square. The Rev. Mr. Bullock deposed that, on Saturday morning last, the prisoner came to his house, told him her little son, who had been at Christ Church School, was very unwell, and that she wanted a little pecuniary assistance, to enable her to send him to Ramsgate on that afternoon. Witness asked her name, and she said her name was Anne Fielden, of 19, Little Chapel-place, Little Coram-street. Witness gave her four shillings. Her sick son, as she called him, was with her , a lad of about seventeen year s . . Mr. MBE sentenced her to three months' impri sonment in the House of Correction. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday a good-looking young woman, about 28 years of age, named Maria Clifford, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged at the instance of the Rev. Mr. King, Rector of St. George's-in-the- East, one of the Directors, and Mr. Thomas Natt, Secretary to the Guardian Society fur the Preserva tion of the Public Morals, an institution at the north side of Bethnal-green, and of which her Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent is the patroness, with at tempting to induce two of its female inmates to enter upon a course of prostitution at a well-known house of that description at the West-end. Mr. Nett said that the Institution, of which he was one of the Secretaries, and which was supported by a great number of the nobility and persons of distinc tion, had been founded fur the very beneficial pur pose of providing a temporary asylum, with suitable employment, in the shape of needlework and washing, and repairing articles of apparel, for young women, who have deviated from the paths of virtue, and who have either been removed from the public streets by the operation of the laws, or have been awakened by their consciences to a sense of their daeger and guilt; and he need not point out to the Magistrate how essential it was to make a severe example of any person whom they de tected in making imm .rat overtures to any of the inmates, or propositions, the tendency of which was to seduce them back to ,a life- of prostitution. There were now upwards of thirty inmates in the Guardian , w e b/ PLEASING RESULTS.—With the gaiety ass li b l ' e re 04 , iature in the brightness of the summer season t iito; few disinclined to participate ; and in pursuit o .
