30U SARK ELECTION MEZI 7 INO OFSIR WILLIAM MOLESWORTIPS ;MENDS. A meeting of the supporters of this gentit man met yesterday evening in the Queen's Head Tavern, High- Etreet, Borough. The llrgr. , Court-yard was densely crowded, and those assembled were addressed by the dilleret.t speakers frum the balcony. M. J. WATLn was called to the chair, and briefly re eommentled Sir W. Molesworth to the electors of South wark as a candid-Ate whose opinions had been already tested in the litmse of Commons. Mr. COOPlinc, Chairman of the Committee, then, in a *hurt addre..s. referred to an assertion of Mr. Miall's at a late meeting, and read the following letter to that gen tleman : " Central Committee, Queen's Head, Thursday afternoon; Sept. 4. " Sir—Teti are reported to have stated at the public meeting, held last night at the Bee-hive, that it was,said that Sir W. Molesworth's committee, fearful of the issue of the conflict, had opened thirty public-houses ; with a ca'te blan.rhe for anybody to go and drink. 'J he i ommittee will nut do you the injustice of supposing that you made this statement without haw ing some grounds for supposing it to be founded in fact; but, as it is an utter falsehood, and it is necessary that it should bo tra..ed to its source, the committee feel satisfiel that )ou ts ill, without hesitation, give up your authority for the assertion. The bearer will wait your answer.—l am, Sir, yours respectfully, " EMAN COOPER, Chairman." Sir WILLIA3I MOLESWORTH then rosy to address the meeting amidst tumultuous cheering ; and after silence had been in sonic oegree r stared, he said that he had endeavoured, in the &urea; of the contest, to enter into sonic arrangement with one of the rival candidates (Mr. Misll), with the view of concentrating the strength of the Liberals in the borough, and so to defeat the Tory candidate, but, he was sorry to say, unsuccessfully. But feeling assured, as he did, that the wishes of the majo rity weee on his side, ho should assuredly nut recede from the contest.—(Cheers.) It had been stated by Mr. Miall that he had opened thirty public-houses. He could solemnly assure them that rather than resort to any such species of corruption, he would rather lose a hun dred elections, and without resorting to such infamous means, he was confident that he should stand at the head of; the poll. And while he gave every credit to his op ponents, he must yet advert to a speech of Mr. Miall's on last Tuesday night. Mr. Miall had there charged him with having edited the works of Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury. He confessed it ; he gloried that he did so. As many of those present might not be acquainted with that illustrious writer even by name, he should just say that lie was the friend of Bacon, that he was intimate with Gassendus and Marseanus, the pupil of Galileo, and the not unworthy opponent of the immortal Des cartes —(Cheers.) He was the first great regenerator of politics, for he effected that revolution in politics that Bacon did in physics. Ile affirmed that the Church should be subservient to the State ; that clergymen should not interfere with politics. But Mr. Miall had denounced those works as infidel.—(A Voice, "And so they are.") Dave you ever read those works, most learned Theban ?—(Cheers and laughter.) Had Mr. Miall read the works ? If he had, he (Sir W illiam Molesworth) would dare him to point out one single pas sage in those works derogatory to Christianity. He had no wish to accuse Mr. Miall, but he would affirm that he had been guilty of ignorance, and worse, is the charge brought against him of publishing the works of an infidel writer.—(Cheers.) He did not think—he would suppose—that the enlightened electors of South wark would reject him for thus editing the works of one or the greatest writers that England ever saw, and choosing instead a man, w ho, if be had lived in those days, would have had those works burned by the faggot at Tyburn.—(Cheers.) Ile would leave the issue with confidence to the poll of Wednesday. One word more to Mr. Miall, and then he would dismiss him from his notice:—(Cheers.) Mr. Miall had said that in philo sophy and principle he was a Christian. He (Sir W. Molesworth) said that charity and Christianity were one, and Mr. Miall was deficient in the former.—(Cheers.) The real contest was between Mr. Pitcher and himself. Mr. Filcher was a Tory, he was a Whig—(Cheers)— and he would say for himself that, if returned to Parlia ment, he would prove himself one of the most strenuous supporters of everything liberal.—(Cheers.) With the spread of these opinions there would be an end to war —that great enemy to civilisation. Mr. O'Connor had asserted that he had been at one period an advocate for the immediate and universal extension of the suffrage. He denied this ; and his word, he hoped, would be of equal weight with that of Mr. O'Connor's. Finally, he was in favour of the rote by ballot, triennial Parlia snouts; and the abolition of property qualifications. After some further explanation of his political creed, the Hon. Baronet retired amid loud cheering. Mr. IloweeD then came forward, and in a neat speech proposed that the meeting, feeling satisfied with Sir W. Molesworth's political principles, do pledge themselves tp . support his election. The resolution was seconded by Mr. Harris, and una nimously carried. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, end the meeting broke up. MEETING OF MR. PILCIIER'S FRIENDS. Last evening, at seven o'clock, a meeting of electors favourable to Mr. Pilcher was held at the Dundee Arms, Horsley do xn, at which Mr. Pilcher attended to give an exposition of his political sentiments. The room, which night accommodate about two hundred, was crowded to excess. Charles Shaw, Esq., as on the two previous °e vasions, occupied the chair. The CHAIRMAN, on rising to address the meeting, was received with eh( era. lie said that he had now the ho nour of presiding fur the third time over these meetings, and he hoped every speaker would have a full and im parti,l hearing. They al knew the business for which the meeting had been called. If they looked into the shop windows and on the walls they would all know what was going forward in the borough. They were in the midst of an election, and there were three candidates in the field. He bad already dealt with some of the prin ciples of tv,o of the eindidaes (Mr. Miall and Sir Wm. Molesworth ) He had disposed of Universal Suffrage and thel3allot, and he would now say a few words on Triennial Parliaments. On this question he would say, that if they looked at the history of Parliament, they would find, from the Rump Parliament down to the present one, that the average length of Parliaments was about three years and three- quarters ; so it appeared from this, that it would make little difference whether Parliainents were triennial or septennial. He would, therefore, wake no Brest dispute on that point, as there would be little lost or gained by it. He now came to a far more important question—that of free trade and the coin-laws. This was a subject on which they, ought to be cautious: Southwark was a great commercial borough, and much interested in the extension of trade ; yet in carrying out that extension they should take care it was in agreement with the best interests of the country. Sir Wm.Molesworth, it was said, was a great scholar. As Hudibras said— " Ile can as easily spJak Greek As sucking pig can grunt and sqiteak." But though he could do sb, he did not dunk him a safe guide on the question of free tialle: He advocated the repeal of the corn-laws. On this question he (the Chairman) would beg the meeting to turn their attention to' the condition of Ancient Rome. The Roman States when in the zenith of their power, supporte I free trade in corn. They drew their supplies ft.= Egypt arid other foreign States, and neglected the cultivators of their own soil. The result was, these cultivators found themselves so overtaxed and burdened, and the price of corn so reduced, that they ro•e in rebellion against the Gtwernment. In so dangerous a position did the Ronan Government find itself, that it was obliged to call in its troops from distant countries to put down the insurrec tion at home.-- - --(llear, hear.) Ile would ask them, should they like to reduce the cultivators of the land at home to •the same condition as the cultivators of ancient Rome ? NVini!d they support such a policy as would turn the agricultural interest against them ? Ile would ask Sir William Moleaworth to look to this case, and meet it if he could.— (ilheer..) There was anoth r important qUestion to which he would call their RtivittiOn. Sir was an advocate for the separation of Church and Sate, and for the destruction of that Protestant faith that had been prouluctive of so much benefit to the British empire. 'they need only contrast the condition of the country now to what it was ander Roca inistn, before the Reformation, to be satisfied of the grew. improvement that had taken place by the introdua tion of Protestantism. rheChairinun,tifter going ut length into the views iopiorted by Mr. Miall and Sir Widiarn Molesworih, concluded by introducing Mr. Pitcher to the meeting. Mr. FILCHER was received with great cheering on rising to address the meeting. Ile stated he had the gri act hopes of belie , reta. - red as their repreaerttative to Parliament. The ladies, he was glad to say, were in his favour, and if they only exerted themselves with their husbands, fathers, and sans, he was sure he wou'd command a proud majority on the poll. If elected, as the gauvass would fully justify him in supposing, he would do his best to serve the interests of the borough. Ile would aarward every scheme that would advance the health, cleanliness, and commercial interest of the borough.. Ile would support the formation of the docks in contemplation to remove the steam-boats from crowding the river. He would not on that occa sion go at length into his principles, as he had given his views already fully on the subject of the Maynouth grant and religion in general. If elected, he should feel prouder than if he was elected for the great county of York. It was his native borough, and he would do his best to serve it.—(Cheers.) Mr. MISHIX moved a resolution that Mr. Pileher was an efficient parson to represent the borough in Parlia ment. Mr. BRISTOW seconded the motion, which was put and agreed to, with only o ne dissentient. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting separated. MEETING OF MR. MIALL'S FRIENDS. Last evening a meeting of about 500 electors and in habitants of this borough took place at the CAtherine Wheel Inn, High-Aron, 6outhwark, to promote the election of Mr. Miall, and receive his address. Several of the `,air six graced the pinery opposite: the platform, and joined heartily in the bursts of ap plause ooca,iotted by any happy remark made by the speakers. WEBB unanirriwisy c a lled to the cii ir, and in tt e usual ;,.anner opened the pr--c .edings of V . l 0 M. MULL then ro,e, c itLinuncing his address, obserred that he was glad to lirar tl,aL contraclic tion had been riven to the report that the public houses were op-Ited free to the supporters of Sir Wiliam Molesworth. Ireland was, however, the ques tion of the most importance at present. Ireland had all the capabilities of becoming a brave and important nation ; and those who knew anything of her resources must be aware that she had in her the germs of great- THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 14 MI6, noes. How was it then that she was in her present miserable condition, and why was her continual cry fur repeal? Simply because she had been oppressed and de graded from time immemorial by her rulers; and until those injuries had been redressed, Ireland would ever continue poor and miserable.—(Much noise atel dis order.) The Mayrcoth Bill had been brought fore nod by the Ministry, because they would not do justice to Ireland ; because they wished to detach the priests from the people, and drive them to be upon the side of their oppressers. —(Cheers.) That was the real secret of the new policy that had been introduced by the Government. It was brought forward to obviate the necessity of doing right, for to du right would cost them much of that substance a hick hitherto they had pocketed from the sources of the peo ple, and E 0 they had administered their opiate of the Maynooth Bill. It was not a question which merely affected the progress of religion, but it wes one which vitally affected the very principle of civil government it self. If they did justice to the people, they would not want paid priests to keep them down.—(Great cheer ing.) And it they did not have justice, they must have either the policeman or the priest.—(Cheers ) The spirit of Irishrn n had grown above the pox er of the police, and knew well how to conduct their agitations within the boundaries of the law,ai d set at defiance all the opposition brought against them by Government. The new ecclesiastical policy now just in its dawn was brought forward to substitute the Ministry in the place of the police, to carry out the designs of the aristocracy, and, if possible, to keep the people in ignorance, in order that they might be contented slaves. The simple question which was put to the electors of the Borough on this occasion was, whether such policy was to succeed or fail ? Were the Ministry to go forward, helped as they were by Whigs and Whig-Radicals, and those Tories ? —(Cheers.) 'They called that Maynooth Endowmf nt Bill a partial instalment of justice to Ireland ; they well knew that it was not an instalment, but merely a substi tute for justice. It was intended to obviate the necessity of doing justice, and every man who would give his vote for the carrying out of this Bill, every such man must be altogether ignorant or indifferent to the civil liberties of his country. They should look upon this question as if they were all concerned in it, for it came home to all. It was a question which was just then in the seed, and might be crushed for ever ; but let it grow, it would ex pand and produce its bitter fruits, and all the agitation which might be raised against it would be insufficient to put it down. Now was their time to strike a blow for liberty.—(Cheers and noise and disturbance which lasted for some time). The Hon. Gentleman continued—He believed that the meeting were convinced of the importance of the question at issue at the present moment, and lie thought that the present was the most critical time.—(Great noise—continued interruption.) The labouring classes well understood any political question that was properly laid before them, and knew what was consistent with common sense, honesty, and justice. The decision of this eh ction would be of great importance with regard to the May nooth grant, but he was never afraid of putting any question to the popular suffrage. The gentlemen whom he addressed were fully acquainted with his poli tical sentiments upon all the topice which now agitated the public mind ; he would not, therefore, detain the meet ing by an exposition of them. In conclusion, the Hon. Gen tleman observed that, from the return made by the can vassers, if the electors would but press forward, which he knew they were inciined to do, the victory would be theirs. Mr. Miall then sat down amidst immense cheering. Mr. Roo then moved the resolution in support of Mr. Miall's claims, and, in doing so, observed that to his knowledge there were many gentlemen that signed the requisition for Sir William Molesworth who were not aware that Mr. Miall was coming forward ; he would, th refore, advise them to make haste and retrace their steps, and send to Parliament a better representative than the lion. Baronet, in the person of Mr. Mr. JOHN DAY seconded the resolution, and after the meeting had been addressed by Dr. Price and several others, it was put and carried by a large majority. Three cheers, with a mixture of groans and hisses, were then given for Mr.Miall, and the tumultuous assem blage, s►fter lingering for a while in the yard, was at length broken up. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. THE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES AT THE CITY GREEN. , TA RD.— Ge:,rge Boyle, the driver of cab No. 2,034, was brought before A:der,ean Copeland and Alderman Alusgrose under the following eireamstaneus : John Newman, the owner of the cab, stated that the defend ant had been in his employ about two months. On Sunday last he went cut with the cab about nine o'clock in the morn-. ing, but instead of driving it him‘elt he employed anceher per son to act for him, who, about. two o'4:Jock in the afternoon took it to the Redcross-street stand and there left it, from whence it was taken to the City green y ar d. He had not only lost his time as well as the work of the horse and cab for the day, but had to pay I3s. fees to the keeper of the yard before he could obtain Isis property back. Alderman COPELAND said the charge was most shameful, and wished to know how it was made tit. Newman replied that Is. was charged for bringing the horse in, and 3s. the fee to the yard; alto Is. each wheel for bring ing in, and Is. 3d. each greenyard fees. Several hackney coachmen here said that the fees were too bad. If a coach was in the yard only two minutes before it could be released, the parties would have to pay 17s. Alderman COPELAND thought there must be some over charges, and rent for the master of the yard. On his arrival, Alderman COPELAND wished to know how he made out the charges 2—The Alaster said they were per fee:ly correct, according to the table made out by the Court of Aldermen in the year 1838. The four shillings charged fur bringing in were paid quarterly into the Chamberlain's office, but formerly used to be paid to the Commissioners. Alderman COPELAND said he would give the defendant one month to pay his master for the loss he had sustained, which would be I/. Is. With respect to the overcharge of 4s. for the horse, he would consult the City solicitor, and if he was of the same opinion as himself with respect to the rules, the money should be returned. He would, however, advise the proprietors of cabs, coaches, &c., to petition the Court of Aldermen against the charges, and he had no doubt they would be mate rially altet ed.—The parties then retired. MARL BOROUGH-STREET. The Hon. Mrs. Greville, of Eaton•place, summoned Cor poral Major Parkinson, of the Knightsbridge Barracks, for detaining a horse, her property, value 141. 10s. The circumstances under which the summons was taken out appear to be these, although the abven,e of the com plainant prevented them from coming out in evidence in the ordinary way : A servant of Mrs. Greville was sent to sell a horse at Tat tersall's. He made a sale to the defendant, which sale was disputed by Mrs. Greville on the plea that she had never au thorised the seller to sell her property. The defendant was applied to, but he refused to give up his purchase, and, in order to compel him, a summons was taken out. The case appeared to excite rather more than usual inte rest, as several officers of rank were in Court, among them the Earl of Munster. Mtn. waiting an hour for the complainant the profes sional gentleman who attended on behalf of the defendant applied to the Court to have the summons discharged. He considered that his client had been rather hardly dealt with, in having been compelled by summons to come to this court with his witnesses, to show rause why he detained a horse, when the clearest evidence was inexistence that the animal had been fairly bought, and that the lady herself had recognised and acquiesced in the validity of the transaction for at least nine days before the summons was resolved upon. Mr. HA RDWICK said, the representation made to the Court when the summons was applied -for was that the amount was under 151. in value, and that the horse bad been disposed of to the defendant without the knowledge or consent -of the owner. As a matter of course the summons was granted. The Learned GeLtleman hoped that his client would not again be taken from his business to answer a complaint never intended to be brought forward. The defendant, he conceived, ought to have compensation for his lcss of time, and he hoped the ma gis.rate would oblige the complainant to pay the expenses in curred. Mr. HARDWICK said he had no power to give more than the ordinary costs for the summons. The summons was then discharged. LAMBETH. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Iane Brightwell was charged before Mr. Norton with stealing a cash-box, con taining 151. in gold, five pounds in silver, and a 51. note, and also various other property belonging to her late mistress. From the evidence it appeared t hat the prisoner had been servant at the Elope and Anchor public-house, in Park-street, Kensington, but had been discharged on Tuesday fortnight. On the evening of Tuesday following the bed-room of Mrs. Lucas, the landlady, was entered, the drawers forced open, and a cash-box, containing the above-mentioned property, and several articles of jewellery, carried away. Upon the discovery of the robbery, suspicion attached to the prisoner - but it was not until yesterday that Brooks, an active constable belonging to the L division of police, succeeeded in tracing and appre hending her. Upon her bed-room being searched, a vast quantity of new finery, consisting of dresses, shawls, boots, shoes, rib bons, &c., were found concealed between the joists of the floor , ing ; and underneath her bed there was also found a gold wed ding ring and a small seal, and the latter article was clearly identified by Mrs. Lucas as her property, and as having been in the cash-box at the time it had been stolen. Bros ks pro duced the whole of the property found, together with a chisel, which he also discovered in the prisoner's room, and which he said fitted exactly to the marks made upon the drawers of the prosecutrix, and which had been made in forcing them open. Mr. Games, who attended for the prosecution, presented for the magistrate's perusal a number of love letters, from which it appeared that the prisoner had carried on a correspondence of a tender kind with afoot guardsman, quartered in the St. George's Barracks, and there was little doubt, from the fact of the wed ding-ring and the fine dresses being found at her lodgings, that she was about to get married to him. The prisoner, after a lengthened examination, was remanded for a week. BEZZLEMENT.— George Ronaidson, a journeyman baker, was charged with the double offence of embezzlement and ab sconding from his master's service. Sir. William Henderson deposed that the prisoner, after taking out with him a large barrow of bread to serve his cus tomers with, had left the barrow and bread in the street and absconded. Since then be had discovered that he had received various sums from his customers for which he had never account( d, and, having traced him to another employment in Aldersgate-street, he gave him into custody. Sir. Henderson added that from inquiries he had made, he had ascertained the prisoner had absconded from several masters in a similar manner, but he was not aware that he had been guilty of embezzlement before. _ _ The prisoner said he was sorry for what he had done. Mr. Henderson observed that masters in his trade were at thu complete mercy of their men, and hoped his Worship would deal with the case in a summary manner for absconding from his employment. Mr. NORTON did so, and sentenced the prisoner to the highest penalty the law permitted, namely, three months' bard labour. A City off►cer, P 15, who apprehended the prisoner, asked for his expenses. Mr. NORTON—What expenses w ere you put to? Policeman —Coach hire. I have come all the way from Smithfield. Mr. Henderson-1 have paid all the expenses he has been put to. Mr. NORTON—I certainly shall not allow any expenses, and I am surprised at his asking for any. Mr. BaoDEair asked the prisoner if he had any defence to make? Prisoner—Nt at al hire. . . Mr. 13 itonEnt r said it wet his *dety to commit the prisoner for trial for this felony. Something, had hero said *hoot his having anotler wife in America, whom lie married there, but there was no legal proof of such a marriage having taken Vac e. There might be a question raised as to the validit yof the English marriages, and it was for the pri.oner to make out, if he can, that he had another wife living when he married Emma Hoy. If he set up such a plea, and asked for a post ponement, the Court would detain him.—The prisoner NMI then committed to Newgate to take his trial at trio nest ses sions of the Central Criminal Court. WORSHIP-STREET. DISTRESSING CASE.-Two scantily-clad, but clean and modest looking young women, of the apparent ages of 16 and 18 years, applied to Mr. Bingham, in great mental distre s, fur his assistance under the following circumstances:— It appeared frc.m the statement of the applicants, that about nine months since, their father, a journeyman carpenter named Mudd, while engaged in his business, had the mis fortune to meet with a dreadful accident, by which he sustained a compound fracture of the leg, and was com pelled to Le iemoved to the hospital, where he had remained nearly ever since. In consequence of the unfortunate occurrence, the family had been reduced to the greatest dis tress, which the applicants had endeavoured to alleviate by their labours at r ibbon-weavin g , but that description of work was so badly remunerated, that, by their joint and united exertions, they were unable to earn more than Bs. a week, out of which, besides their own support, they had to maintain their mother, who was deaf and dumb, and incapable of obtaining a provision. By the exercise of the strictest economy, they had contrived to stiuggie on without assistance until Monday last, when their father was unexpectedly sent home from the hospital, so little improved in health, that they were obliged to place him in the only bed they possessed, being confined, through their straitened means, to one a; artment. Being now reduced to complete destitution, having had no bed to sleep on for the last three nights, they applied to Mr. Attrill, the relieving officer of Spitalfields, to induce him to take their father into the work house, and enable them still to support themselves and mother; but that person would only accede to their request on the con dition that their mother should also he removed; and, as the latter expressed an insuperable objection to enter the work house, they were reluctantly obliged to solicit the interference of the magistrate in their behalf. Several of the officers attached to the Court bore testimony to the moral and industrious habits of the your's , women, who had been the sole support of their mother for a long time past, although she was a person of violent and ungovernable temper, and had made a very ungrateful return for their constant and affectionate solicitude. _ _ Mr. BINGHAM said the applicants were certainly deserving of great commisseration, and that, although the relieving officer had acted strictly according to the letter of the law, in refusing to admit one parent unless accompanied by the other, yet he consihred he would have been perfectly justified in making an exception in this case, and he should, therefore, direct one of the officers to call upon him, and request that the desired assistance might be aff irded. The magistrate then ordered the usher to hand the appli cants 10s. from the poor-box for the relief of their immediate necessities, and the poor girls expressed th• most grateful acknowledgments for the gratuit ROBBERY OF THE LEAMINGTON AND WARWICK. DANK, chi 4th of July a pr.trcnl, coutainicg one hontlred 101. local notes, was t )1: nat 0:e r..f.'a.mington and War wick banking-house, in Lt , a-nii - ,„ton, a-d it was some days afterwards ascot tamed that Wiltiam Henry Blan , y, one of the clerks of the establishment, had appropriated the stolen property. A a arrant was granted by the Leamington magistrates to apprehend the accused, and indorsed by the Lord Mayor, end Daniel Forrester was employer'. by Messrs. Bush and Mullins, solicitors to the Committee of Bankers for protection against forgeries and frauds, to trace the delinquent and take him into custody. Forrester and Superintendent Roby, of Lea mington, sneceoded in tting the accused into their clutches at Calais on Tuesday last, and he now is in prison there, to be disposed of according to the judgment of the French authorities, from whom the officers re ceived every possible assistance short of his removal from that country. The following statements were made by one of the clerks in the bank, by the brother of the accused, and by the accuiel %.ho subsequently absconded, before the magistrates, at L-ataingt,ii : Mr. E. B. Wynne said, that on Friday, the 4th July, he made up two parcels, o-e crntainiwr ' 1,500/., in 51. notes of the Warwick and Leamington Banking Com pany, awl 1,0001. in 10/. notes. Having counted the notes, the numbers of which were entered in the note book, he directed both the parcels to Francis Smith, SJutham, and placed them about twelve o'clock on the mantel-piece. About five o'clock he placed them, with a London parcel and ten other letters, on the :'ask of the accused, with 3s. 4d. to pay the postage, and never ha I seen them since. W. H. Blaney, the accused, said th t about half-past seven o'clock in the evening he took off his desk three parcels and 10 letters, arid the money to pay the postage. He then went straight down to the post-office, having placed the parcels and letter in his left-hand coat pocket behind. He went slow, and spoke to nobody on the way, and at a quarter before eight he delivered the parcels into the hands of the person who officiated at the window, and put the letters into the letter-box. He did not know what money he paid, nor to whom the parcels were directed, but he concluded they contained money. After having deposited the parcels ho toil( a walk for about half a mile, and then, went home. The brother of the accused said the house in which he believed the missing parcel lay was in the city of London. He received that information from a person who appeared to him to possess a knowledge of the loss of the notes, and of the spot in which they were deposited ; and who mentioned to him that the notes were intended to be passed through several hands be fore they were to be presented for payment ; that they were first to go to a firm in France, then to Hamburgh, then to Russia, and then to London for presentation. The houses through which they were to be passed were first-rate houses. The witness first saw the person who gave him the intelligence about three weeks ago in Lon don. That person first commenced a conversation about the notes, and appeared to be acquainted with ►he cir cumstances, and witness endeavoured to obtain informa• tion from him, and at last was told by him that the notes were in the City of London, and would be presented to wards the end of October. The witness had not seen the accused since the 16th of July. It appeared that the accused, soon after the day last mentioned by his brother, absconded. He was traced with extraordinary skill from place to place by Daniel Forrester and Superintendent Roby, till they appre hended him at Calais ; but whether the French authori• ties intend to give him up to the custody of the English officers, to be removed for trial to this country, has not been ascertained. DEALINGS WITH THE DEVIL. One of those absurd cases arising out of pretended dealings with the Devil became the subject of a trial, three days ago, before the Tribunal of Correctional Po lice at Beauvais (Oise), which was unusually interesting, from a priest being involved as an accomplice in the fraud. The following is a summary of the facts as they came out at the hearing:—Naguet, a shepherd, in the service of a farmer named Luce, in the neighbourhood of Beauvais, offered his master to show him the Devil, and compel him to d o ubl e any sum of money he would bring into the conjuration. Luce, half believing and half doubting, consulted the Abbe Mouchet, who was the curate of a chapel of ease at Boutincourt, who told him that it was possible, and agreed to join him in the spell, which was commenced by this worthy son of the Church with reading for nine successive nights a species of in - cantation out of a red book. The curate sent his ser vant to buy a goat's kid, which was slain, its skin being formed into a magic circle, and its blood used to sign a compact with Satan, which the curate had written on a skin of parchment. The Abbe also had two wax tapers melted by two young girls, and with the wax and a stone which he called etnatille he drew a wider circle, and, Owing himself at the centre, called up Lucifer from the vasty deep. But, as Lucifer refused to come, Naguet exclaimed, " Bah! you manage this badly ; I must apply to an as sociate who knows better how to proceed. This asso ciate, whose name was Bigny, came. The nine incan tations were repeate I by him, and when they were finished it was agreed that they should all meet at a place called the Croix Blanche, at midnight, each bringing a sum of money, and, having deposited it in the earth, they were again to invoke the Devil. At the appointed time they met, Luce bringing a bag contain ing 1,500 E, the curate another, in which he said were 450 f., and Naguet a pocket-handerchief, in which he said there were 600 f., but in which, according to a dechAra ' tion made by Bigny, there were no more than 10f. in cop per money. Bigny was to be the receiver, an the Abbe." to be the depositor ; but Bigny insisted that each should come separately to the spot and deliver his deposit. Naguet came first, and gave his handkerchief to Bigny, who handed it to the curate. Luce came next with his 1,500 E, and delivered the bag to Bigny, who on receiv ing it whispered to him mysteriously, " Go back again, but on no account look behind you, for if you do the Devil will be enraged, seize you, and tear you to pieces." Luce went away trembling in every limb with terror. Days passed away, and Luce heard not hin g more of his money. On applying to Naguet, he was told that, to induce the Devil to bring back the money, not only a second incantation must be made, but double the sums must be broug ht. This, together with aninti mation which he received that Naguet and Bigny had been boasting that they had taken him in, in duced Luce to lay an information before the magistrate. The Abbe contrived to make his escape, but the two other rogues were arrested. The Abbe was therefore condemned by default to five years' imprisonment ; Bigny, who had before been in the hands of justice, to the same punishment ; and Naguet to imprisonment for two years.— Galignani. SUICIDE OF A DRUNKAlLD.—Yesterday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Portobello, Turville• street, Bethnal green, on the body of Robert Wakeman, aged thirty-seven, a porter. It appeared from the evidence of deceased's wife that he was an habitual drunkard, and that he had been intoxicated from Tuesday week to last Tuesday, the day of his suicide. He had frequently threatened to destroy his wife and children, and she had often found his razor beneath the bedclothes. He had latterly purchased a new shoemaker's knife, found since his death. On Tuesday, in the absence of his wife, he hanged himself from the handrail of the stairs. It was proved that deceased laboured under delirium tremens, and that he de stroyed life during an attack of it. Verdict—" Temporary insanity." DISCOVERY or A QuicKsiLvEn MlNE.—There are at the present time but two quicksilver mines of any importance now in operation—the one, Almad n, in Spain, and the other, Idria, in Austria ; and both are monopolises' by U. Rothschild. We now learn from Tuscany, that a very rich and extensive mine of this important metal has been discovered at Ripa, near Pietra Santra. The mercury, although combined with sul phur, is very abundant. 'three horizontal galleries have already been pierced in the side of the mountain in which the vein is situate, and all three have arrived at an excellent vein of mercury. The mineral produced )ields, according to analysis, 20 per cent. of the purest quicksilver. It believed that, itr a short period, no less than '2OO workmen will be em ployed, and that at least 100 or 1201bs. of metal per day will be raifen.— Commerce. - THE - WEATHER. AND HARVEST. Since Sundhy the weather has turned gloomy and cold again, though we have not had n uch rain. A gr.at portion of the corn has been cut, but the major part was in an unripe state. The crops in parts of the neighbourhood are about an average, but there are other parts where the wheat has sustained much damage from the severity of the summer. The potato crop has also suffered serious injury. The few bright and warm days we had last week gave promise of effecting much good, but the weather has s ince been so unfavourable that great fears ere now entertained for the results of the harvest— Cambridge Advertiser. DARTMOOR.—We hear it is in contemplation by the Government to dispose of the prisons at Prince Town. The courts and various buildings cover a space of thirty acres, and during the late war near 10,000 prisoners were lodged is ithin the massive gates. The prisons are surrounded by a double wail and an iron railing; at certain distances on the inner wall lamps used to be lit, and centries walked on the top, so that escape of the prisoner was almost impossible. The prisons at this time have the most gloomy appearance to parties who visit there ; on the eastern side are the coffins in which the un fortunate Frenchmen were buried, quite above the surface of the ground, caused by the storms of winter in this romantic region, and the curiosity of strangers seeking for remains.— Western Luminary. A KING SIDING WITH TIIE RADICAL PARTY.—It is known that in the last Swedish Parliament several bills, containing organic and radical improvements in the Constitu tion, were thrown out by the lords and the clergy, in opposi tion to the votes of the burgesses arid peasantry, which latter is represented in Sweden. The King was, it seems, reluc tantly compelled to yield to such a powerful impulse. In one case, however, he did not, and gave his assent to a bill equa lizing the law of marriage and inheritance in i.ll classes of so ciety, which the nobles had protested against. This is the first step, as it were, to do away with primogeniture and the entailing of property. The Swedish papers are full in praise of King Oscar, and consider this act as an indication of a liberal and enlightened reign, like that of his late father. SUICIDE PREVENTED.—The happy results of taking due precaution, so necessary with the dispenser of dregs, was fully exemplified in the praish of St. Martin's, on Tuesday last. It appears that at about half-past seven o'cicek that morntng a poor woman, the wife of Christopher Wilson, residing near the union, and who had been in a low melancholy way some time, sent her son, a little boy, to Mr. Freeman's, drupist, for twopennyworth of oxalic acid, stating that it was wanted for the purpose of cleaning some furniture. Mr. Free man, however, fortunately had the prudence to tend fir the woman's husband, wi'h whom he agreed to send her an emetic, which would neither harm the furniture nor the woman in case she took it. The poor woman, not being able to distinguish by the appearance the difference between the emetic and oxalic acid, took the nauseous yet harmless substi tute ; the consequence was, that upon feeling unwell she retired to her chamber, doubtless under the expectation of shortly finishing her earthly career; nor did she mention the matter to any of her family (excepting that " she would soon be better") until towards the afternoon, when the effects of the medicine had all but passed off. Any doubt as to the woman's intent is removed by the fact of the bottle containing the emetic being labelled " oxalic acid—poison." We heard that the poor woman was to be removed the following day to a lunatic asylum along with several individuals from the Stamford Union. — Lincolnshire Chronicle, INSOLVENT DEUTORS' COURT. cAsr, OYe irts. ofrcritaa, • (From Punc Ye terday Mrs. Church—fairiliarly known to many as Mother Church—applied for bail at this court. Great interest was excited by the case, and the court was thronged. Among the Bishops who were present, and who appeared to feel acutely the condition of the insolvent, quite as much as if it was their own, we noticed the Bishops of London, Rochester, and Ripon. Mr. Cook appeared for the insolvent, and Mr. Thomas for the opposing creditor, one John Bull. The insolvent—although appearing under what may be conceived the most humiliatingcircumstances—was hand somely dressed in the very richest purple and the very finest linen. Neither could she say, " silver and gold have I none ;" being, indeed, ornamented from head to foot with the precious metals. Her appearance, too, bespoke one who looked benignly on the fat of the land. There was a soft, contented sleepiness about the old lady's eye; a ruddy pulpiness of lip; and her cheeks gloe ed like a September peach. When she spoke—and she would often interpose certain sentences, such as " the wicked, in his pride, (loth persecute the poor;" " the meek shall eat and be satisfied;" "let integrity and uprightness preserve me"—the words seemed to flow from the old lady like melted butter. The Bishop of London was frequently observed to throw a sym pathising glance upon the insolvent, and now and then, with his bands in his pockets, appeared to be buried either in meditation or calculation (for our reporter will not be positive). Mr. COOKE said he appeared for the insolvent, and (of course) in the whole experience of his professional lift., had never so keenly felt the responsibility of his duty. The insolvent, Mrs. Church, was known to the worthy Commissioner and every respectable per son present in that court, as a most virtuous and discreet old lady a gentlewoman who, wherever she lived—and he would not deny that she had many residences, town and country—was an example of purity, and chastity, and benevolence, to all around. The poor and hungry who thronged her gates, and went away relieved and strengthened, would never be known to that Court. No ; her benevolence was like the refresh ing lymph that entered all their houses. There it was, to cool the lip and assuage the thirst of him who sought it ; bat the means which sent it there were out of sight —thepipes were buried from the eye of man, deep under ground. And thus was the charity of Mother Church—for he would use the more endear ing epithet—laid on in the dwellings f the poor. (Here the insolvent, becoming affected, wiped her eyes with a lawn handkerchief trimmed with lace, which a lady near our reporter pronounced to be worth at least ten guineas a yard.) Well, he now came to the immediate cause that had placed Mother Church in her present painful position. The truth was, wide and deep as was her pocket, her heart was wider and deeper still. It was true that of late she had received certain sums of money—some thing between 2,000,0001. and 3,000,000 L Now, in the ordinary concerns of life, 2,000,0001. or 3,000,0001. were a large amount. Ile (the Learned Gentleman) would not take it upon himself to say that to a humble individual like himself a single million would not be a sum demanding his especial interest ; yet it was a strange fact—a fact oddly enough disregarded by Ricardo, M'Culloch, and every other monetary philosopher—that money always sank in value directly it was applied to the purposes of Mother Church. Let him not be misunderstood. What he wished to say was this :—lt was well known that many Bishops— faithful and loving sons of the insolvent—received 10,0001., 12,0001., 14,0001. a-year (for he would keep on the safe side, and would not exaggerate). Well, it was plain that such sums became reduced to at least one twentieth part of their value when dropt:into the pocket of a bishop ; that what would keep house and keep the laity in highest luxury merely sufficed to supply the de cencies of existence to the sons of the Church ; for once a week, at least, they preach against pomp and all the sins of the flesh ; and is it likely that they would do this, unless great as might appear their revenues to the " ignorant laity," they were as nothing when applied to what he (the Learned Counsel) would venture to call Church purposes? In his ardent youth—ere the roseate visions of romance had been shut out by the stern truthfulness of that court—he had read an Eastern story, in which he read of one who was suddenly pos sessed, as he thought, of a large heap of gold; and 10l in the morning, all the glittering coin was changed to withered leaves. Some such strange, debasing trans mutation appeared to fall upon all moneys granted, for the very best of uses, to Mother Church: they all seemed to be turned to leaves—but whether or not to the leaves of the Prayer-book, he would not say. In conclusion, the Learned Gentleman asked for the kindest construction of the Court. His client was all unversed in the ways of this coarse, calculating, double entry sort of world. Her rule of three was not the rule of three acknowledged in the city. It was true she was in debt ; yes, with a choking throat he would speak it — she was an insolvent. But she had—especially in her early youth—never been used to keeping accounts ; and she had fallen into her present plight from a most beatific state of charity—namely, that her left hand never knew what her right was doing. The Learned Gentleman sat down, melted in his own feelings, and amidst a melodious murmur of applause. Many ladies, old and young, whose faces are familiar to the beadle of Exeter-hall, were affected even to hartshorn. Mr. THOMAS said he was instructed by Mr. John Bull to oppose the application. His Learned Brother had made a most eloquent address, from which it would appear that the insolvent had fallen into her present difficulties from her extreme simplicity of mind— from her all unworldly ways. He (Mr. Thomas) would call the attention of the Learned Commissioner to the appearance of the insolvent at that moment. Did she appear a person who cared nothing for the outside look of this world ? Would the Commissioner look at her purple—would he cast his eye upon her lawn, so fine that it seemed woven from the locks of angels ? Would he also—indeed, so massive, so glittering were they, he could not help it—would he also take note of the gold, the gold not from Ophir, that decorated her ? More : he would ask of the learned Commissioner to step outside that court, and look at the splendid carriage in which the insolvent had come down to Portugal street : to consider well • the silver harness, the sa'in-skinned horses—for they were not asses from Jerusalem ; and more, the coachman and footmen in purple and powder. He would ask the Commissioner to consider all these things, and then say whether the insolvent, with such luxuries about her, ought to have appeared in her present place, to pray the indulgence of that Court ? And (said the Learned Gentleman) he must oppose bail upon acts of ex travagarce, which, if needful, he could prove on vied voce testimony. He would not charge the insolvent with embezzlement.; no, he would not quite do that. But he would show that she ha I, in the most flagrant manner, misapplied the funds placed in trust at her disposal for far other pur • poses. He would show that she had received moneys in order to build places of immortal comfort for the poor, and that—they may call it maternal wea'aness if they would—she had laid out such moneys in the purchasing, not of houses—oh, no, houses would not satisfy her, but palaces—for her children. He could prove what she had done for one of her sons. She had laid out 30,000 L on a palace for Rochester—" the beams of his house were cedar, and his rafters were fir." And he (the Learned Counsel) would again ask if such a person was entitled to the indulgence of that court? What! they remanded miserable mechanics—untaught, wretched men, for reck less expenditure—and would they wink at the unparal leled, the un-Christian extravagance of the insolvent? He (the Counsel) would now call the attention of the Com missioner to one important fact. He would go back to the origin, the early life of Mother Church, and would prove that her babyhood. ay, her youth, was passed in privation ; that her greatest comfort, her truest pride-- if, indeed, in those days she could feel pride at anything —was to cast down the outside fashions of the wor1:1 to stand, as it were, tiptoe upon earth, her hand reach ing towards heaven. In those days, she went forth in sweet simplicity, like Rebecca to the well—and did not, like the insolvent before them, keep red-nosed buyers. In conclusion, the learned gentleman, on the part of his client, John Bull, begged that bail might not be granted. The Learned CO3I3IISSIONER said, this was a bad ewe —a very bad case nevertheleas, he would not refuse bail. When the insolvent came up to pass her exami nation, the learned counsel would then have a further opportunity of oppsing her. Mrs. Church then left the Court; and, as our reporter understool, went off in the Bishop of London's carriage, that her nerves might be properly attuned amid the groves of Fulham. NEW REGISTER- OFFICE.—In order to accomodate the gentlemen of the bar who are in want of good situations, it is in contemplation to open a register-office, where candidates may enter their names, and electors may meet with any kind of article they may wish to take into their service.

It is no uncommon thing to hear railway proprietors spulo n of (or at least thus much is hinted) as being e igag4 d in a system of traffic and mercenary specula tion which absorbs their entire affections, leaving them careless of the moral condition of those whose time and services they command, in the numerous avocations which a railway induces. It is enough, say these pre judiced observers, if railway directors can but produce favourable reports at their meetings ; if they can but succeed in showing a decrease in their expense, or an increase in their traffic ; it is sufficient for shareholders if they hear their line is prosperow , and if they have a good half-yearly dividend declared ; what cares either shareholder or director by what means their ends are attained, or if they are carried out by men whose whole time is engrossed by these railway monopolists, their minds being left uncared for ? Such complaints are as 'unjust as they are uncalled for, and we are happy to know that they are gradually diminishing. They form part of that incon k ruous mass of prejudices against the riOlvvay system which are now gradually—we might almost say rapidly—dying away. It is to the interest of all who have any share in the management of railways to have as their ser- N ants men, not only capable of performing their allotted daily tasks with correctness, but men of general intelli gence, who can be depended on in an emergency, who will not feel themselves at a loss if they are now and then called to diverge a little from their ordinary beaten path. To obtain such men it has been found mutually advantageous to employ, even in the me cl.lanical departments, men whose education has been not nominal, but real, and opportunities for further improvement have been provided on most of the prin cipal railways. During the progress of construction of various lines of railway the labourers have had their moral and religious wants attended to by the gentlemen employing them, which has aided very materially in advancing the moral character and in raising the mental condition of the workmen. On the London awl Birmingham line, at the little town of Wolverton, a school has been built for about 100 children, as also a church, the seats of which are all free, which will ac commodate 900 or 1,000 persons. The inhabitants of this town are almost entirely employed by, or in some measure connected with, the railway ; in fact it is a town which may be said to Intro been created by rail way enterprise, inasmuch as before the con-truclion of the line it was an agricultural spot, with few inhabi tants, while it now contains a population of some 1,000, and the London and Birmingham annually expend in the town about 50,000/. in wages, &c. These facts will serve as a specimen to prove that railway pro prietors are not careless of the welfare of those whom they employ : we could adduce many more, but it is needless. But we must just mention that the Grand Junction have attended to the bodily as well as mental condition of their workmen, in establishing baths at Crewe ; that at Fleetwood, another railway-made town, schools for two or three hundred children have been built ; and that, by reference to our last number, it will be seen that the South-Western are about to form a benevolent fund for their emp!oyjs, and schools for their servants' children.—Derionport Telegraph. THE ATTACK ON MADAGASCAR. (From the Paris Constitutionnel.) We have given, from the Cerneen of the Mauritins, the details of a descent effected at Tamatave, on the eastern coast of Madagascar, by the crews of three vessels, one English and two French. The object of this expedition was to take on board the French and English residents, whom the Queen of the Ovas wished to force to have themselves naturalised. 'I be result is known. The forces of the two nations marched on Tamatave with the emulation and courage that were to be expected from them. But they had to deal with an enemy not less courageous, trained to war in long intestine contests, and formed to discipline. Tamatave was armed with cannons, and well defended by the Ovas. Our troops were received with a formidable fire, which killed seventeen French sailers and four English. They could not get farther than the outer wall, where they placed their colours. The i%lalgaches re mained impregnable in their redoubt, which was coes•ructed according tot e European fashion, and it was found necessary to give way before them and re-embark. If the European residents at Ta matave were afterwards relieved from their awkward position, ar.d part of their property saved, it is not less true that a fresh blow has been given to European influence in the island of Madagssear. An expedition thus conducted and terminated so deplorably cannot but puff up the Queen of the ()vas, and dispose her to treat the Europeans with still less consideration. edo not know exactly how the expedition !was organised. The Cerneen says that the troops which landed were and r the direction of a captain and a lieutenant. Which was the English and which the French ? Had the plan of attack been discussed and decided on in concert ? Or rather was there a plan of attack? Were not the French and English satisfied with proceeding in two bands not very cordially inclined, the one not dis posed to obey the other, and were they not the victims of the blind policy which pursues in all parts of the world the chime rical wition of the entente cordiu'e? It will cot be possible to resolve all these questiens until we shall have obtained new de tails, but it is impossible not to be struck at present with the disproportion in the loss sustain e d by th e t wo f orces . By wh a t concatenation of circumstances did it come to pass that the English only lost 4 men, and the French 17 ? Were the num bers of the troops as 17 to 4? Why this disproportion? Why should not the English have supported at least half the cost and half the risk of this. enterprise? Were there not at Madagascar as many English subjects as French ones? The inhabitants of the Mauritius, as well as those of Bourban, are in the igabit of and rice cattle on the coast of Madagascar. These ar ticles wantingin the two colonies, which are . obliged to se e k them sometimes at Zanz ibar, sometimes in India, at Calcutta, Madras, or even at Singapore. The contigui tyof Madagascar offers both colonies the most convenient and advantageous market ; and the continual vexations to which the purchasers are ex posed by the Queen of the Ovas affect English subjects not less than those of France. This exp editi ,n does but little honour to the Governor of Bourbon, who may be reproached with not having collected sufficient information as to the forces inconsiderate conduct means of defence of the Ovas It is by such conduct that the agents of the Government too often com promise the renown of France and the life of our soldiers; and this arises frequently from the Government agents being much more occupied with the care of cot displeasing the Govern ment at home, than of bringing to a good end the enterprises which they direst. We would willingly wager that, in this last affair, he Governor of B urbon has been more gravely g t o o t t t:a o i to on too opened ntehdan with withith the ; the th occupied with the desi!e o f bringing, to a happy termination the negotiation "er i i r r htf of the maktrtg to ao expedition successful.

A new expedition, will, it is said, be soon directed against Tamatave. Let us hope that this ti me the local government will take its measures better. 1 o obt a i n information on the elements of defence which the Malgaches possess, the Governor of Bourbon has only to apply to the Go vernor of the Mauritius. It is by the agency of this latter per sonage that England has furnished the Ovas with cannons, muskets, ammunition, and instructors ; it is England which has given the design of the Malgaehe redoubts. The least she can do is to communicate to us the state of all the means of destruc tion which she has furnished, now that we interfere for her in terest at least as much as our own. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF BlGAMY.—Richardby Mb bert, aged 42, a wine-cooper, was brought before Mr. Broderip for final examination, charged with bigamy. Mr. Pelham defended the prisoner, an account of whose re markable career, and evidence adduced on the first examina tion, was stated in The Sun of Friday last. It has since trans pired that the woman to whom he was united in New York, about the year 1830, and whom he afterwards deserted and came to England, has since married again, and was in London in April, 1844, when she heard that her husband had been married to two wives in England, and both were living. She returned to New York immediately afterwards, where she is still rending. Yesterday the first wife, married in England, was again in attendance. She is a very lady-like and accomplished woman, only 28 years of age, and has borne the prisoner one son, now aged four years. She left the prisoner in 1843, in consequence of his barbarous usage of her. In a short time afterwards he attempted to commit suicide by cutting his throat, and was con veyed to St. Bartholomew's Ilosiital, where he remained for three months before he was cured. On his recovery he paid his addresses to a young female named Ann Biles, who is now only twenty years of age, and to whom he was married on the 21st of January, 1844, at Whitechapel church. Yesterday, on the prisoner being placed in the dock, much curiosity was ma nifested to obtain a sight of him. Ile is a very remarkable man, with a thin face, sallow complexion, and immense bushy whiskers. quite black, and nearly concealing his face. In Oc tube r, 1841, t,e was tried at the Old Bailey for destroying his mother's will, and acquitted. 'the first nitness called was Joseph Brown, an elderly man, who said he was a carman, and lived at No. 19, Samuel-street, St. George's-in-the-East. He was present at the prisoner's marriage at Whi•echapel Church, in January, 1844, but he did not know the name of the woman, and he only knew the pri soner by sight. Mr. BRODERIP—Is the woman present ? Wilson, 230 K, who conducted the case, replied in the negative ; and stated that since the last examination he had compared the certificate of the marriage of the prisoner to Emma Hoy, at St. Luicti's Church, Old-street, on the 30th of October, 1836, with the register book of marriars, and found it to be a correct copy. The first wife was now pi esent. Mr. BitODERIP said he must treat her as the first and lawful wife, in the absence of any proof of the American marriage, and ke could not receive her testimony. `Wilson said that when he called upon the last witness, he said the maiden name of the se.:ond wife was Ann Biles. Mr. BRODERIP—I thought he was keeping back something. [kw he connected with the prisoner? Wilson—lie is car man to the firm (Barclay and Friends) to whom the prisoner is coo; er and foreman. lie also informed me that the wedding was kept at his house. Mr. BRORERIP called Brown up, and asked him if that was so? Brown—Eh? Fm hard of hearing. Mr. BKODERIP (loudly)—Did you not tell the officer the name of the woman was Ann Biles, and that the wedding din ner took place in your house ? Brown—No, Sir ; they did not dine at all at our house on the wedding day. Mrs. liroan, who was examined last week, here lifted up her hands and exclaimed, " Oh what a story ; he has forgotten it all ; they did dine with us." Mr. Bitooxitse—Where did they dine Mr. Brown? Brown —I don't know. They never dined at our house; they only tea'd. Mr. BrtonEttle—Don't you know the woman's name was n Biles ? Brown—l never heard it before—what is it ? (Laughter. ) Mr. BRODERIP—That is no answer. Did you not tell the officer her name was Ann Biles? Brown—l never told the officer so. Wilson—He told me her name was Ann Biles, that the wedding dinner took place at his house, and that the prison er made a speech to the guests after dinner, and advised all the young men and women to do exactly as he had done, and get married as fast as they could.—(Loud lau e thter.) Mr. Btton F. R I r—Did you tell that to the officer? Brown— How could I. Mr. Bitoontte—What do you mean by this prevarication, and putting a question to me instead of answering one ?

EXCISE PAOSECUTIONS.-Yesterday Mr. Henry Rundle, the supervisor of Excise for the Brentford district, attended this Court to prefer informations against several licensed victuallers, for selling spirits, heer, and tobacco at a fair recently held at Barnes, the said fair not being a statute or chartered fair or place recognised by Act of Parliament, at which innkeepers can vend their commodities. . The supervisor stated that, in consequence of instructions received from the Commissioners of her Majesty's Excise, he went, on the 14th of July last, with several of his offi , lers, to a fair then holding on a piece of waste ground abutting upon the Hammersmith New-road, in the parish of Barnes. Ho found several drinking-booths erected, at which exciseable articles were being sold, the said booths being kept by publicans. They had no license empowering them to sell at this place, and he directed such purchases to be made as would ensure evi dence of a sale having been effected. The defendants were fined in sums from 121. 10s. to 251. DESPERATE SUICIDE OF A YOUNG GENTLEMAN. Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, a long inquiry was opened before Mr. G. I. Mills, Deputy-Coroner for Middlesex, and a jury, at the Marquis of Hastings, Ossulston•street, Somers-town, on the body of a gentleman at present un known, who committed self-destruction under the very sin gular and unaccountable circumstances subjoined. Harriet Mayne said she lodged at 26, Aldeaham-street, which house was kept by a female named Bryan. Shortly after twelve o'clock on the night of Tuesday last , she m et de ceased, whom she had neve r seen before, at a concert at the ' Garrick's Head, in Bow -street, where she partook of a part of a pint of sherry with him and a tall young gentleman, his friend. The deceased told her he had previously been to Evans's Grand Hotel, and had partaken of two bottles of wine and some rum punch. Shortly before three o'clock on Wed. nesday morning the deceased bid his friend good bye, left the Garrick's Head, and accompanied wit ne.s in a isah to her residence. At two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon she invited him to partake of breakfast, but he refused, and said he would rather have a glass of wine. He gave witness half-a-crown to send for a pint of sherry, and on her calling Margaret Bryan, the land lady's daughter, to go for it, deceased added, " Stay, I will send for something else that will do me good." Deceased then asked for a pen and ink, and wrote a prescription in Latin, telling her to send it to some chemist, giving her 2s. to pro cure it. Margaret Bryan went to the shop of Mr. Wakefield, and on her return with the wine, said that Mr. Wakefield said he had not got any, and that it was poison. Witness told de ceased, who said, Nonsense, it is no such thing ; it is only to enliven up low spirits ; send to another doctor." Margaret Bryan then went to the shop of Mr. Rentmore, in Clarendon-' square, and brought back a phial about three-parts fill of stuff smelling like almonds. Deceased was then lying on the sofa in the parlour, and appeared very cheerful. Witness left him to get her breakfast, leaving the phial and the wine on the table. She returned in about five minutes, and on entering the room asked the deceased how he was ? He replied he felt better, but his stomach began to pain him. At that moment he turned over on the sofa and appeared fainting, and made a gurgling noise in the throat. She called for water, and sent for a doctor. Mr. Wakefield came and said he was dead, and had taken poison. By the CORONER—I had never seen deceased before. I had not the slightest idea that he had sent for poison ' • and I intended to have taken a portion of what he sent for had ho left any, as he said it was for low spirits. I should say he was not more than 20 years of age. When alive he appeared of rather sallow complexion, and has dark brown hair. His dress consists of a black frock coat, black satin waistcoat, la vender-coloured striped trousers with straps, the whole quite new; a blue striped silk neck handkerchief, white stockings, yellow kid gloves, and short boots ; a new hat, maker's name Townsend, Cheapside and Regent.street." He had with him a small yellow stick w ith t he handle much bitten, and his ' linen was marked "G. Oldfield, junior." On his person were found two handkerchiefs, one white muslin, with the name " G. Oldfield" on it, the other silk; a cigar case, a green purse studded with steel beads and tassels, with 2s. in it ; and on his finger a gold ring with a green stone. Deceased did not give witness any other money than for the wine and the stuff. Margaret Bryan proved having gone with the prescription first to the shop of Mr. Wakefield and then to that of Mr. Rentmore, where she procured the stuff for deceased, and paid Is. 9d. for it, and that she was served by a young man, Mr. Rentmore's brother. The witness having identified the prescription, '1 he DEPUTY CORONER said it was in Latin, and was " half an ounce hydrocyanic acid," and at the bottom was written " For flavouring soups," and was signed " G. 0." Mr. Wakefield proved that when he was called to see de cea•ed he was quite dead. The DEPUTY ColtoN ER animadverted on any chemist selling so large a quantity of I.oison to a stranger, and called upon Mr. Rentmore for an explanation. Mr. llentmore, jun., who served it, said he understood that the girl who fetched the poison came from the pastrycook's in Seymour-street, and knowing oil of almonds was used in the trade, he served it. The DEPUTY CORONER said the circumstances of the case were so strange. although there was no reason to believe that the witness Mayne had connived at the deceased poisoning him self, that he felt it necessary to adjourn the inquiry for further evidence, and to have the body opened. The inquiry was ultimately adjourned till Monday next, and after the post morlent examination the body will be removed to St. Pancras Workhouse for identity. FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR RINCLET.—COURAGFOES Connect. of A CRIPPLE. — On Wednesday afternoon last, as two little girls were playing on the bank of the river Irwell, near Ringley, one of them, named Alice Cumberbirch, aged tw, years, fell into the stream, which was then running very strong. A poor cripple, named John Tonge, about 18 years old, was with a cart on the opposite side of the river, and saw the child fall in. Two men were with him, and he urged them to go into the water to the child's assistance ; but they said that they were strangers to: the river and dared not. 'lenge then released the chain-horse from the cart, mounted the animal, galloped into the water, and had got within twenty yards of the child , as it was floating along with the current, when the horse's feet became entangled in the chains and the animal was thrown down, and Tonge with it. Ile was under the water, but recovered and immediately groped for the horse's head, and on finding it raised it above the water ; but was compelled to remain with it to prevent it being drowned, the water being deep there, covering the animal's legs. The cry that Tonge and the horse were drowning brought many persons to the place, and some went into the water to his assistance; but, without considering his own position, Tonge cried out, " Follow the child ; follow the child." On this, several persons ran down the river side, and about 200 yards from where the child had fallen in, a man named Ellis Hollows jumped in and brought it out, but life was extinct, between ten minutes and a quarter of an hour having elapsed before the child was got out. An inquest was held on the following day before Mr. Rutter, when a verdict of accidental death was returned. The jury expressed in the highest terms their sense of the great intrepidity and praiseworthy courage of Tonge, and requested the coroner to recommend him to the considera tion of the rslanchester and Salford Humane Society ; as, but for the horse becoming entangled in the chains, the In ave fellow would in all probability have saved the child. We believe the Humane Society have awarded a guinea to Hol lows who recovered theand have ordered a reward to be presented to Tonge.Ma d nelsester Guardian. TILE LATE W lIIRLWIND AT ROUEN.—M. Arago has communicated to the Pa is Academy of Science the ob servations of some of its correspondents upon the extraordinary meteor which caused such dire effects at Rouen. The disas trious visitation commenced in the valley of Malauney and the valley of Monville, about half-past t welve o'clock in the da y , by the tepid shock ' of winds and clouds striking in opposite directions, preceded by gusts of an extr aordinaril y hot wind equally remarked at Paris, and so burning that the mis tress ot an inn, although standing before a kitchen fire, felt it, as well as many other persons, on all of whom it produced a most oppressive effect. Similar electrical phenomena soon followed. It was remarked that the whirlwind presented the shape of an inverted cone, of which the point looked red. It did not proceed in a right line, but z'g-zag, and particularly , in the direction were there were ma sea of iron or steel, such as factories, leaving untouched the intermediate spaces. What is more extraordinary, it only struck parts of the same house, those parts having. quantities of ironwork, leaving untouch e d t h e parts w hich had" little or none. Trees of a century were in some places twisted , i n oth ers torn u p , and in other pl aces b ro k en . But the most remarkable feature of the whole was this, that a quantity of substances, some of great weight, such as planks cf wood, five feet in length, were sucked up into the air, and carried to a distance of nine leagues after a journey of seven hours. While the tempest was at its I height, the barometer fell 17 millemetres, a fact proved by Protessor Preisser. The philosopher does not doubt that the phenomenon was essentialiy electric. During the passage of the whirlwind, from which flashes of lightning played, some persons smelled a sulphurous odour, and heard a rolling xmise— workmen felt themselves moved to and fro, while flames - flashed before their eyes. Bits of burned cotton and other materials were found, although there had been no cociltgration. Several cooking spits were magnetised. Of the killed , some allowed no mark of external injury; many showed rapid signs of decom- I position ; and altogether there can be no doubt that the pause was of an electric nature.
