MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AT HOUNSLOW. Lieutenant Kerwan was immediately taken into the ma gistrates' room and placed at the bar. The deposition of Quarter-master Tarleton was then read over in the presence of the prisoner, as was also the deposi tion of Mr. Frogley, who, being present, added to his testi mony that the unfavourable symptoms which had presented themselves on Monday evening had that morning greatly subsided, but that he wag quite unable to pronounce the wounded man out of danger. Colonel Daley expressed his readiness to enter into any amount of bail for the appearance of Lieutenant Kerwan at a future day; but The 11E - Ncit said, the charge was of so serious nature that they could not take bail, and it was their duty to remand the prisoner to Tothill-lields Bridewell until the fate of Quarter master Tarleton can be ascertained, or his recovery be such as to enable him to attend. The prisoner, accompanied by some of the officers of the regiment, was then removed by Sergeant Jeeks in a fly to Totbill-fields Bridewell. The whole of the proceedings did not occupy above a quarter of an hour ! and on the reporter immediately after wards applying to Mr. G. Clarke, the clerk to the magis trates, to be allowed to copy the depositions, he was informed the Rev. Magistrate had taken them away with him in his pocket, and there was nothing on the minutes of the Magis trate's sitting to show the particulars gone into. From a source on which every reliance may be placed the following version of the occurence has been obtained During the entertainment given to the officers on the even ing of Sunday, between eleven and twelve o'clock, some words arose between Lieutenant Kerwan and another officer present, when Lieutenant Kerwan left the room in a great passion, declaring he would cross swords with the officer who had offended him. Quartermaster Tarleton followed him to his room and endeavoured to prevent him leaving his apart ment with a drawn sword in his hand, when,by some means, the unfortunate occurence took place. Lieutenant Kerwan was much intoxicated at the time, and had, during some wrestling; which took place after dinner, been thrown twice with great violence on his head. •Eionv o'cLocix, 1%114-Mr. Frogley has just returned from the barracks, and states that the favourable character of the symptoms exhibited by Mr. Tarleton in the morning have not materially diminished, It. is, however, impossible at present to exiiress any decided opinion as to the result. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. POILTSMO ['TIT, SEPT. 30.—The Eclair steam-sloop is still al the hlotherbank, where it is most likely she will remair many weeks. . • Tlie malady, whatever it is,- still rages on beard; three more deaths hare been announced since our dispatch of yes terdav, and two fresh cases have manifested themselves on board. The quarantine officers will not receive anything from ber, nor is any one allowed to go or board or leave the vessel. We believe, however, medical aid has been sent from Hasler Hos pital ; fresh provishms have also been supplied. The Custom house officers dare not go on board, and the quarantine vessel keeps guard:ramil her. She was sent off the station by the orders of Commander C. H. M. Buckle, of the Growler steam-sloop ; prior to which, however, on the disease manifesting itself in the deadly form it assumed, a commission of three surgeons sat upon the case to decide what was best to be done under the alarming cir cumstances; when they came to the unanimous resolution of sending the Eclair off the station and home. We have been at considerable pains to ascertain the exact number of dead and their names. The number we believe to be 65. The names of the men we may be able to furnish to-morrow. The names of the officers dead we are enabled to give now. They are— Mr. W. G. B. Ltcourt, the Commander of the Eclair (1841). Surgeon—Mr. John Maconchy (1838). Paymaster and Purser—Mr. Thomas B. Hallett (1838). Assistant-Surgeon—Mr. Charles Hartman (1840). Clerk—Mr. Cleland Mill. Naval Cadet—Mr. Symons. Master's Assistant—Mr. Goman. The Superb, 80, Captain Corry, came into harbour this morning, in tow of the Echo steamer. She had her lower deck guns in. The Rattler steam-sloop, Commander Smith, is in the har bour repairing defects. She has her foremast out, which is being attended to at the dockyard. The Dee steam transport, Master Commander Driver, ar rived at Kingstown, Dublin, ith the 49th, from Plymouth, on the 26th ult. The Apollo troop-ship, Commander Radcliffe, arrived at Cork, with troops, on the 25th ult. The Penelope, 22, steam frigate, Commodore Jones ' • the Tortoise store and guard ship, Commander Morrell ; the Lily, 16, Commander Newton ; and the Sealark, 10, Commander Gooch, were at Ascension on the 25th of July, the only vessels of war at that island. All well. The Royalist, 10,arrived at Singapore oa the 15th of July, from Malacca, and left on the 16th, on a cruise. The Pilot, 16, Commander Jervis, arrived at Singapore, from Malacca, on the 20th July. The Vixen steam-sloop, Commander Giffard, arrived at Singapore on the 19th July, from Malacca. The Fly, 18, Captain Blackwood, arrived at Singapore from Malacca, on the 21st of July. NUMEROUS SUDDEN DEATUS. —On Tuesday Mr. Baker held, at the Refiners' Arms, Buross-street, Commercial road, four inquests on the bodies of persons who have died suddenly. The first was on Owen Clark, aged fifty-five, a blacksmith, of Hungerford-street. Deceased had scarcely ever been a day ill until Saturday last, when he had a spas modic attack, and died immediately after his wife had given him a cup of coffee and rum. The second was on the body of Sharman Stimson, aged fifty-four, clerk to Mr. Brown, surveyor, &c., of Billiter-street. Deceased had not been ill fir twelve years until Saturday, when he had a paralytic attack that rendered him speechless. He was taken home and medically treated, but died at midnight. The third inquest related to the death of Eliza Hill, aged 18, a native of Birmingham. She came to London on the 20th of September, on a visit to her sister. On Saturday morning last she was seized with violent internal pains, which con tinued until her death on Sunday morning. A ' post mortem examination, made by Mr. Cory, of the Commercial-road, showed that death was caused by an ulcer of the stomach, which had perforated its coats. The fourth was on the body of Henrietta Elizabeth Bishop, an infant, who received a slight fall on Saturday week. The circumstance frightened the mother so much that it altered the character of her milk, which' brought on inflammation of the child's bowels, of which it died on Sunday. Verdict in each case, " Natural death." ------- DEATH WHILST TRYING TO SAVE A F AVOURITE DOG.—Tuesday Mr. G. J. Mills held an inquest at the Per severance, Stephen-street, Lisson-grove, on the body of William Row, aged forty-six, occasionally employed by Mr. Frew, coal merchant. On Saturday last deceased with an other man went with a waggon of coals to Edgware, for which he was to receive ninepence wages. On their return, as they were approaching Kilburn, the deceased, who was driving, saw a favourite little dog of his which he had placed in the waggon going to jump ou t o f it. He ran to save the animal, and in so doing he slipped and fell on his side on the road, when the wheels of the vehicle passed obliquely over the upper part of his body. He was conveyed to his home, where he died of internal injuries in about two hours after wards. Verdict—" Accidental death." FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CROYDON RAILWAY.— Tuesday morning, between twelve and one o'clock, a fright ful accident occurred on the London and Croydon Railway, by which a man named Charles Hill, aged thirty-eight years, lost his life. Hill was foreman of the ballast men employed on the line between New-cross and the Dartmouth Arms sta tion. He was about to start with a train of waggons con taining cuttings of earth to another part of the line, to form an embankment. The train was propelled by a locomotive engine, which had been set in motion before Hill was quite ready to accompany it, when he hastily attempted to get upon the engine. In so doing his foot slipped, and he fell be neath the wheels across the line of rails, and the engine passed completely over both legs. The engineer stopped the engine as speedily as possible, when it was found that Hill's right leg was smashed in a frightful manner, and nearly severed from the thigh, and the left foot was cut in two. He was con veyed to Guy's Hospital, but from the nature of the injuries he had received, , no hopes from the first were entertained of his recovery. He lingered until eleven o'clock the same morning, when death put an end to his sufferings. He has left a widow and large family. THE.

Last evening, on the return of Colonel Day, the command ing officer of the regiment, to the barracks, who had been to town to report the unfortunate occnrance at the Horse Guards, Lieutenant Kerwan was, by the direction of the mi litary authorities at the Horse Guards, placed under arrest. 31r. Frogley, surgeon, of Hounslow, into whose hands, with the surgeon and assistant-surgeon of the regiment, the care of the wounded man has been placed, saw his patient several times yesterday, and (lid not finally leave him for the night until nearly 12 o'clock. Mr. Frogley saw him again about 7 o'clock this morning, and was much gratified at finding that the treatment to which he had been subjected had produced most favourable effects, which could scarcely have been anti 'ciliated, considering the unfavourable symptoms presented on Monday. Between 11 and 12 o'clock, Mr. Frogley again saw his patient, when the favourable symptoms had in no degree diminished. Last evening Sergeant Jeeks, of the T division, stationed at Hounslow, had an interview with Colonel Daley, the com manding-officer of the regiment, at the barracks, and it was subsequently arranged that the Rev. H. S. Trimmer, the Rector of Heston, in which parish the barracks are situate, and who is one of the local magistrates, should attend at the barracks at 8 o'clock this morning for the purpose of taking down in writing the statement of the wounded man. At 8 o'clock accordingly the Rev. Mr. Trimmer, attended by Sergeant Jeeks, was in attendance at the barracks, and Quartermaster Tarleton's deposition was taken in writing by the Rev. Magistrate, and afterwards also the evidence of Mr. Frogley, the surgeon, as to the nature of the wound and the state of the wounded man. A t 12 o'clock a meeting of the magistrates was held in the petty sessions-room at the Three Pigeons Inn, New Brent ford, at which were present Mr. G. Baillie (Chairman), the Rev. IL S. Trimmer, and Mr. B. J. Armstrong. Inspector Lawrence, T division, and Sergeant Jeeks were also present. A warrant was then issued for the immediate apprehension of Lieutenant Martin Kerwan on a charge of cutting and wounding, which was placed for execution in the hands of Sergeant Jeeks. Shortly before 3 o'clock the prisoner arrived in a fly, accompanied by Colonel Daley, the, police-sergeant riding on the box.

COVENTRY, TUESDAY . -A special general meeting of the proprietors of the Coventry Canal Navigation was held this day at the Canahoffice, for the purpose of taking into consi deration and determining on the propriety of applying to Parliament next session for power to convert the canal into a railway. The meetin g was mos t numerous l y attended. Among the proprietors present were Lord Somerville, the Hon. and Rev. W. Somerville, W. S. Dugdale, Esq., M.P., Francis Railton, Esq., the Rev. T. C. Ad ams , the IleY. G. Woodcock, Rev. R. R. Vaughton, A. Herbert, Esq., &c. la%- - The chair was filled by W. S. Dugdale, Esq., M.P. From the statements made to the meeting on the part of the Corn - mittee of Management, it appeared that a company had been _ formed to make a railway from the Oxf or d an d R ug b y Rail way,. near Southam by Coventry, t o B ur t on - on - T rent, wh i ch company solicited' ale support of the Canal Company; and the Committee recommended the project to the favourable consideration of the canal proprietors, as in their judgment it would be highly beneficial to the public, and conducive to the interests of the proprietors, as . the projectorS propose to purchase the depots and warehouses at Coventry, together with that portion of the canal which lies between Coventry and Hawkesbury, an arrangement which would in no way - affect the chain of communication between London and Man - chester. The Committee of Management therefore recom mend to the meeting the adoption of the necessary .resolit _ lions, to enable the Committee to give their cordial support to the measure. 3% This commmunication produced a long discussion. Mr. F. Bat[ p° proposed that the Committee of this Conn _ pally shall be, and they are hereby empowered to sell that = part of this canal, buildings, and land winch lie between the _ city of Coventry and the junction of this canal with the Oxford canal at Hawkesbury, including the Company's - wharf, warehouses, land, buildings, and property at Coventry, or to grant a lease of the same for any term of years, or to 514 convert the same into a r a il wa y, an d t o app l y to P ar li ament, s'B if necessary, for the p ur p ose . The Rey. G. WOODCOCK seconded the resolution, which was unanimously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then proposed that the support of this Company be given to the projected Oxford, Coventry, and Burton-on-Trent Junction Railway Company, which was _ unanimously adopted. It was intimated that most of the canal proprietors present consented to act on the Provisional Committee of the Oxford, Coventry, and Burton-on-Trent Junction Railway, and that Mr. Dugdale consented to become the chairman. CANADA RAILWAYS. • By the Canada papers, arrived per the Britannia, weper • ceive that " the Toronto and Lake Huron Railway Com ' pany" in this country is regarded with the most intense in terest in every part of the western province. Several columns in every journal are filled with discussions upon the merits of the various routes proposed for the line, or lines, to Lake Huron. It is natural that our fellow-subjects in Canada should be as impressed with the advantages of railway inter course between their cities as ourselves. The present line of communication between New York and Boston and the rapidly increasing settlements of Wisconsin and Illonoies is the River Hudson, and the Boston Railway to Albany; thence by railways or canal to the ports on Lake Ontario, or to Buffalo, at the foot of Lake Erie, and thence by the cir cuitous routes of Lakes Erie, St. Clair, Huron. and Michigan. The south-westerly and westerly portions of Canada West forms a peninsula, which has now to be rounded by travellers, whilst the proposed railway reduces the distance to the head of Lake Michigan, and Lake Erie is avoided altogether. Lakes Erie, St. Clair, Huron, and Ontario, and the pro posed line from Toronto to Goderich form a triangle; the railway being the base, 109 miles, and the lakes the remain - ing sides, 500 miles ; and as these sides must be, and are now, coasted, the saving of distance by railway will be 391 miles. The rising town of Hamilton desires that their town and port should be a terminus, and shows for cibly, by tables of traffic, the advantages thereby accruing to s the Company. Goderich is not idle. Mr. Lizars, the very intelligent and active clerk of the Crown of that part of Western Canada, is in London for the purpose of urging upon the Board in St. Helen's-place, the favourable position of Goderich for a vast emporium of Western trade ' on the forma tion of a line of speedy com mun i ca ti on with Lake Ontario. In support of the argument of Mr. Lizars, we may quote his Excellency Sir George Arthur's remark, after carefully exa mining the town site and harbour :—" This place is well adapted for a fortification and naval depot, the harbour being so well sheltered on the north and south, In the event of war, military and stores could at once be dispatched to any point on the lakes ; but, to complete this, there should be a railroad from this to Hamilton or Toronto ;" inwhich remarks Deputy Quartermaster-General Colonel M'Kenzie Fraser, most warmly concurred. It may be interesting also to add, that the late Sir Richard Downes Jackson, then commander in. chief of the Canada forces (1840), said, on view ing the lake and harbour from the heights on the south side of it :—" Goderich, with its noble harbour, is one of the prettiest sights I have ever seen; and in a mili tary point of view, it could, at comparatively little expense, be made a second Gibraltar." Mr. Gwynne, of Toronto, is also over backed by a strong party anxious to carry the line in the first instance from that place to Goderich, before the second line to Guelph Stratford and Port Sarnia be made. Mr. Widder is over from the "City of Toronto and Lake Huron Railway Company," established by an Act of the last session of the Canada Parliament, fully empowered to form the basis of an amalgamation between that body and the one in St. Helen's-place. We look to the speedy commencement of operations by this joint corporation with much anxiety, because we believe we may safely say, that all technical diffi culties in its consolidation are now removed. This, we think it but just to add, is mainly owing to the influence of the en lightened and sound views of the Chairman of the Company here, Mr. Franks, of the house of Bosan que t, F ran k s an d C o ., of Lombard-street. This gentleman has judiciously stood aloof from the besetting claims of parties natu• rally anxious to irrigate the property in their districts with the present flood tide of British capital; and taking a grand and national view of Canadian enterfrise, he has wisely marked out a course for its direc tion which will effect more for the prosperity of that portion of the British empire, than, we will venture to say, any measure of the last half-dozen of Colonial ministers. At no distant day will Mr. Franks be hailed like Mr, Hudson, M.P., the Railway King of Western Canada. This rich and flourish ing province will, we trust, be covered with a net work of railways, under a concentrated, uniform, and therefore most economical and effective, management. Success in such a new district, cannot easily be otherwise attained. Sir Allan Macnab, and his friends at Sarnia and Hamilton will Dave their line. Mr. Stewart and his Goderich friends will be satis fied, and thus all really Canadian interests being supported, the parties now patted on the back by brother Jonathan, must ace the folly of embarrassing these grand and patriotic measures, by their Fort Erio or Queenstown line, by Long point to Sandwich. Sir Allan has gained his high reputa tion, and the love of Canadians, by his devotion to British American interests, and by his vigilance at dissecting and counteracting every attempt at interference with our institu tions, social or political, on the part of restless citizens of the United States ; and he is not likely to lend any of his wen ds:served influence in support of anyproje,ct, however adroitly masked, auxiliary to their schemes. The laying out of lines throughout the whole of Canada is only a question of time; —where the greatest and most immmediate traffic can be shown, there and there only, will, we are sure, the ground be first broken. The Duke of Devonshire is surrounded by a select party at Chatsworth. Viscount and Viscountess Jocelyn, after a tour of visits in Scotland, arrived there last week on a visit to the Noble Duke. Viscount ➢iorpeth came from Castle Howard, accompanied by Lady Mary Howard. The Hon. George and Lady Louisa Cavendish have been visiting at Chatsworth. Sir Augustus and Lady Clifford are en route from Scotland to pass some days with his Grace at the ducal seat.

SECONDARIES' COURT, Oct. 1. (Before Mr. Secondary PoTvrat.) WELLS V. sit.tw. This was an action to recover the sunt of 101.4 e. 4d., for medicines supplied. Mr. TlTOMAS , appeared for the plaintiff, and contended that his client was entitled to payment for medicines supplied in cidental to an operation. • The question raised in defence was, that the production of the diploma was not proof, but that the beadle of the company ought to be called to certify the seal of the company. • - The Learned SECONDARY said that rule had been - avoided by law—the common seal of a company was admitted. Mr. THOMAS said that the learned gentleman must have been asleep during the passing of the Act. Verdict for the plaintiff: • POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Daniel G ar mt, who stands charged with having com mitted several robberies at railway termini, was further ex amined before Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes. Mr. Alder man Lucas and the Lord Mayor elect were also on the bench. Mr. Clarkson attended with Mr. Nash, from Messrs. Swain and Co.'s, to prosecute on behalf of the Great Western Rail way, the South Western Railway, and the Brighton Railway ; Mr. Humphreys attended to support three or four charges on the part of the Birmingham Railway ; and Mr. Thwaites appeared en behalf of the prisoner. Since the last examination great exertions had been used by advertising the property found at the prisoner's lodgings, and otherwise, to procure additional ev id ence. Mr. Clarkson stated, in opening the case, that besides showing that the prisoner was the person who stole Mr. Prances letter-case, for receiving which Maynard had been already committed, he proposed to charge him with stealing some property belonging to Dr. Daniel, a medical gentleman residing at Bath, and to Mr. Winter, of Motcombe-street. It would be remembered, that Mr. Prance's loss occurred on the Bth of July, and that on the 12th he received an anonymous letter that his letter-case and contents were safe, and might be recovered for a liberal reward. By showing that this letter was in the hand writing of the prisoner, he should fix him with the posses sion of the property four days after it was stolen. On the 18th a second anonymous letter was sent, complaining that no attention had been paid to the first, and requiring a reward to be immediately advertised, or the property would be placed out of the control of the writer. An advertisement !was ac cordingly published on the 23d of July, which produced a third letter from the anonymous correspondent, stating that his agent was at Sandhurst, and would write to Mr. Prance. This introduced. the agent, Maynard, upon the scene, who produced the stolen property. He should prove these three letters to be in the handwriting of the prisoner, by calling Captain Culpepper, in whose service the prisoner was for a time. He should show that the prisoner visited Maynard in the Compter the day after he was apprehended, and that when the prisoner was taken into custody he made that desperate resistance which might be expected from a man who was conscious that he was deeply involved. Mr. Clark son adverted to a miserable device which had been resorted to by some of the prisoner's friends or companions, who had sent to the females of Mr. Nash's family a letter containing dreadful threats, if he pursuedhis charges against the pri soner. .It would completely fail in :its object, for Mr. Nash would persist in endeavouring to the utmost to bring to jus tice not only prisoner; but all his companions. Captain Culpepper, of Stanhope-street, was-then sworn. He said the, prisoner was in his service as butler for the sea son of 1843. He saw his handwriting, but not frequently ; but he lied a recollection of his hand, and had received a let ter from him respecting giving him a character. Cross- examined by Mr. Thwaites—He used to disburse small sums occasionally, and make out bills, which witness settled and tore up.. Never saw the prisoner write, and did not swear to his writing. 'Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES said no person swears to hand writing, they only swear to their belief. Captain Culpepper said that was exactly the case. To the best. of his belief two of the letters produced were written by the prisoner. To the other he could not speak. - Crese-examined—He received a good character of the pri soner from Lord Falkland, and gave the prisoner a good cha- . meter when he discharged him. Had never seen him write. Could not say that he was able to write, or that the bills ties prisoner brought to him had not been written by one of his fellow-servants; but he presumed the letter was written by prisoner, and it was from that letter he spoke more particu larly as to the prisoner's handwriting, because the prisoner said it was his writing. Joseph Collard, the superintendent, was next examined. He said the prisoner resisted with great violence till Mr. Nash spoke of pistols. Among the things he found at the pri soner's lodgings was a pencil-case with a chequered wafer stamp at the end, which corresponded with the seal on the three letters produced. Mr. Clarkson said this served to fix upon the prisoner the writing of the letter, respecting which the captain expressed a doubt. Mr. Thwaites said it did no such thing. These pencil cases were manufactured by the gross exactly alike. Collard continued—He apprehended Maynard on the sth Of August, and on the 6th he saw the prisoner come out o f 'the Gil tspar-street Compter, where Maynard was. . George Edis Evens, a turnkey at the Compter, identified the prisoner as a person:who had an interview with Maynard on the 6th. The prisoner gave his name as John Smith for entry in the visitor's book. Maynard was short of money, and the prisoner told him be might have 5/. if he liked. The prisoner replied, a sovereign would be sufficient, and it was given to witness to put to his account, prisoners, before con viction, having the option to support themselves. The pri soner and Maynard appeared to be well acquainted. Mr. Nash deposed to finding some pieces of paper in the grate at Maynard's house, in Howland-street, which upon being pasted together, appeared to be a rough draft and nearly a verbatim copy of the letter dated the 12th of July, which Captain Culpepper had identified as in the prisoner's writing. Louisa Ludeman, of 19, Queen-street, Edgware-road, iden tified the prisoner as having lodged at her father's house till the 12th of August, when he went away. She had seen Maynard in Newgate, and recognised him as a person who called four or live times to see the prisoner Garrett. May nard called within a week before he (Maynard) was appre hended. 'Mr. Alderman 11. Huaires asked Collard if he had ever seen the prisoner at the railway P—Collard replied he bad not, but there were other persons who had. Mr. Clarkson said that was as far as he could carry that case to-day. He proceeded to the second charge. Dr. John Bamfylde Daniel, of Bath, deposed that he was a traveller en the Great Western Railway in the early part of August, and he lost a black leather portmanteau, containing apparel to the value of several pounds. The train .came in at dusk, and there was some confusion in getting the articles out of the luggage van. There were several portmanteaus. He saw a man call to a porter to hand him one which witness believed to be his own, and he went round to the person who had obtained possession of it. This was the prisoner. He asked the prisoner whether he had his own portmanteau. The prisoner replied, " there can be no mistake about this." Witness rejoined that it was very like his portmanteau. The prisoner said nothing farther, but got into a cab and was driven away. Witness went back to-the luggage receptacle to see if his portman teau was there, but could not find it. He had a strong re collection of the prisoner's features, but he had no spectacles on then. The prisoner was ordered to take off his spectacles and put on his hat. The witness said he was sure the prisoner was the same person. He had not seen him on the road to London, but only in the terminus. Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES supposed he looked at him closely because he suspected he was taking away his trunk. The witness said it was just so. He kept him in sight as long as he could. Mr. Clarkson remarked that the tracing of the contents of the trunk to the prisoner's lodging would prove that he was not mistaken. Witness' identified two gold watches, some gloves, and other articles, of which he delivered a list. He also deli vered in a list of articles which had not- been found, of the value of 10/. The cross-examination elicited nothing material, and in re-examination the witness stated that there were some cards with his address in the portmanteau. Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES said, if the portmanteau had been taken in mistake, or found, the finder could have had no difficulty in discovering the owner. The witness—Certainly not. Collard proved the. finding of the articles identified by the doctor. He brought them from the prisoner's lodgings, at No. 40, Great North-street, Lisson-grove. He produced also the portmanteau, which he recovered on Saturday last from the possession of a Mr. Hawkins of Kennington -green. Mrs. Noble, of Great North-street, deposed that the room where the articles were found was rented by the prisoner. He was introduced by a man who said he was a neighbour, but who was a stranger. She had no reference. The prisoner, when she asked his name, said lie would tell her that another time. He came to her on the 13th of September. Mr. Hawkins, a wine merchant, at Kennington-green, said he knew the prisoner from having recently lodged at the Cock Tavern at Kennington, where witness occasionally spent an evening. • He lodged there for a short time about a month ago. The prisoner said he had been travelling, and was going on the continent, and was encumbered with too much luggage. He wished to dispose of some, and took wit ness up into his room and offered him vaaious articles for sale. Witness bought them for 1/. 18s. 6d. Besides the portman teau (identified by Dr. Daniel) there was a carpet bag and a hat box marked " Winter." The prisoner said he had lost a bunch of keys, and bad been obliged to break open all his trunks. Witness thought this was probable. There were some articles of apparel in the lot which he had since dis posed of. Hearing of the railway robberies, he thought it proper to communicate with Mr. collard. After some desultory conversation, as there was no chance of going through the other cases that evening, Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes adjourned the hearing till the next day. BOW-STREET. Mrs. Challis, a tobacconist, residing in Drury-lane, wa s charged, at the instance of the Commissioners of her Ma jesty's Customs, with having in her possession a gallon of brandy and 9lbs. of tobacco, the same being smuggled goods. William Byford stated, that he was an officer of Excise, went on the 3d of September to the house of the defendant, for the purpose of examining the stock, &c. He was pro ceeding to describe the discovery of the smuggled goods, when the defendant pleaded Guilty to the charge. Mr. Twyersma—Very well, then, speak the truth, and tell the best story you can. Mrs. Challis then proceeded to state that she had been en trapped into the purchase of the goods by a foreigner, and was not aware of the serious nature of her Offence. She said, that although the business was carried on in the name of her husband, he had no connexion with it, but occupied a dif ferent situation. c i t 3 o f r . ri P oti o i r e t bury Customs,, w o ci attended t h fr a o t m i t w t h as e sormeeplyofothe eobSjoalcit of the Commissioners to teach others, by example, the liabi lities which such practices involved. It was in the power of the magistrate to mitigate the penalty to one-third of its ex tent, if thought proper to do so. It appeared that the full penalty consisted of the value of the brandy, 14s. 70., the duty thereupon 51. 14s. 9d ; value of the tohacco, 4s. 3d. ; the total of which, 6/. 13s. 7d., being trebled, left the amount of the defendant's liability, namely, 20/. Os. 9d. Mr.- TWYFO/ID therefore ordered her to pay 61. 15s. 7d., in cluding 2s. costs.. The defendant paid the sum, and was then discharged. A well-dressed young Frenchman, named Auguste Bars-us, was charged with stealing a pair of gold spectacles, the pro perty of Miss Jones, of Salisbury-street, Strand. The prosecutrix kept a lodging-house for gentlemen and families, and had let apartments to the defendant. The spectacles were missed one morning from a room to which he had access, and suspicion having fallen upon him, he was given into custody. A pawnbroker; in Covent-garden, proved that they were pledged to him for 6s. by the prisoner. The prisoner, who has a very peculiar way of expressing himself, declared' that he could prove an alibi, but the pawn broker satisfied - the Court that he had not been mistaken by a very successful imitation of the prisoner's style and voice when pledging the property.—He.was committed for t. 4111. . CLERKEN WELL. Sarah Hurling, a woman,• 26 years of age, and not three feet high, was charged with stealing a jug and one penny from a child, five years old, the daughter of Mr. Langmore, a respectable tradesman in Woodbridge-street, Clerkenwell. The offence is a very aggravated one. The girl had been sent by its mother for half a, pint of porter, and-on -the road to a public-houSe the prisoner stopped her, and pointing to the residence of a gentleman, requested her to go there and ask for " Sarah," at the same moment taking front the child the jug and the money. When she returned the prisoner had left, and from the description given by the child of the prisoner, the latter was apprehended while offering the jug for sale to a marine store dealer. The constable, in answer to Mr. Combe, said that be had reason to believe he could bring forward several other charges of felony against the prisoner, who consequently was re manded: English ...... Irish Foreign ...... he bad ruined him by her extravagance, and pawned all he had. Mr. BALLAYrow. said it was clear the prisoner was a had tempered fellow, and no one with his disposition should be in any place involving the slightest authority. For the assault on his wife he should pay a fine of 5/.. or be imprisoned for two months, besides giving Security to keep the peace in future. The prisoner was locked up in default. The worthy Magistrate subsequently ordered five shil;ings to be given to the complainant, and alike sum to the poor but worthy man who had relieved her in her necessities. Pearson—No, your worship ; I am obliged to you. My wife and I can earn our little morsel and eat it in peace. Give it all to the poor woman. Mr.BALLANTINE bighlycommended the noble spirit which exhibited itself in so low a state, and was sure the honest fel low's own emotions were the best reward he could receive. P-STR E Fl7'. COINING.—George Reynolds, a middle-aged man, of re spectable connexions, was placed at the bar for further exa mination, charged with having been found engaged in the manufacture of spurious money. It appeared from the evidence of Sergeants Teakle and Price, of the B di v i s i on , t h at i n consequence of information they had received they proceeded on the morning of Thurs day last to a house in White Bear-gardens, Hackney-road, and on knocking at the door they were admitted by the pri soner, whom they instantly secured before he had time to re cover from the panic occasioned by their sudden appearance. After searching his pockets, iri'whichsthey found three coun • terfeit half-crowns, they proceed e d t o a room on the first floor, where they discovered a plaister-of-Paris mould for coining . half-crowns upon a trivit in front of the fire, and also a smalle r mould for the manufacture of shilling pieces, upon the. aide of the stove. On a further search they afterwards disco vered a quantity of base metal, a crucible, several files, and all the other requisite implements and accessories for carrying on the nefarious occupation. The prisoner was then con veyed to the station-house, on reaching which he stated that distress had driven him to the commission of such practices, in which he had been engaged only about four or five weeks. The prisoner was recognised by the officers of the Court as having formerly held a highly respectable position in society, but they had lost sight of him for some years, and were un acquainted with the disastrous circumstances that had re duced him to such an ignominious condition. The prisoner, who declined offering any defence, was fully committed, but he will be brought up again f or the comple tion of the depositions. LIABILITY OF ROYAL PALACES TO PAYMENT OF POOR-RATES. Tuesday, at a Petty Sessions of the Justices acting in and for the Staines division of the county of Middlesex, held at the Red Lion Inn, Hampto n , th e p rocee di ngs i n the long . pending dispute between the Crown and the parish of Hamp , ton, as to the liability of the re s id en t s i n H ampton C ourt Palace to be assessed to the poor-rates, was further gone into, The magistrates present were Messrs. C. Devon. T. Marriott, T. Paterson, and - Scott. ' Mr. Kent appeared, as before, as solicitor for the parish of Hampton; and Mr. Pemberton, the Crown Solicitor, being absent in a distant part of the couutry, Mr. Jones, his chief clerk, attended for him. Mr. Kent said he attended that day on behalf of the pa rish of Hampton to support certain. summonses, which the Bench had been pleased to issue against twenty-four of the inmates of Hampton Court Palace, for non-payment of a rate of one shilling in the pound for the relief of the poor, made on the 2d of May, 1839 ; and also for nineteen other rates which had been made subsequent to that period; and when he had proved tIW the rate was a legal one, unless the parties so summoned showed good cause why they should not - pay the amount assessed upon them, it would be his duty to apply to the Bench for distress warrants against them. He then called Mr. Thomas Fisher, who deposed that he was one of the overseers of the parisk of Hampton, acd that he was present when the rate of the 2d of May, 1839, was signed by Captain Carpenter and Mr. Jesse, two magistrates of the county, on the 4th of May, 1839. Mr. DEVON said it would be necessary to go into each rate separately, and also to see that the different parties summoned were named in the rate-book. - Mr. Horn (Magistrates' Clerk) then read the names on the summonses, with the amounts claimed on the rate of May, 1839, as follows :-Lady Emily Ponsonby, 31. 17s. ; Sir Geo. Seymour, 21. 14s. 6d. ; Mrs. Augusta Dorothea Henrietta Fitzgerald; 1/. 18s. ; Captain James William Cuthbert, 21. 75.; Mrs. Arabella Talbot, 1/. 18s.; Miss Charlotte Thors ton; 1/. 18s. ; Lady Athena Cumberland, 21.35. ; John Hildyard, Esq., ls, 18s. • Mrs. Margaret Vesey, 21.3 5 . ; Charles Nathaniel Bayley, 21. As. 9(1.; Miss Frances Marga r et W a l po l e , 2/ . 7 s. ; Lord George Seymour, 21. 7s. ; Mrs. Mary Eden, 11. 18s.; Mrs. Caroline Sheridan, 1/. 14s. ; Miss Anne Revnett, 1/. 10s. ; Lady Sarah Montgomery, 1/. 10s. ; Miss Anne S - mart, 15s. 6d.; Mr. Moreson, 45.; Mr. Shumack, Bs. ; Sir Horace Beauchamp Seymour, 2/. lls.; Miss Eliiabeth Chester, 2/. 75.; Sir James Reynett, 2/. 11s.; George Golding, ss. ; Wm Cleare, 17s. 3d. Mr. Kent said he had now only to ask the Bench to issue distress warrants against all the parties summoned. He had come prepared to apply to the Bench to do so also, in some cases, on all the other nineteen rates which had accrued since 1839; but should the Bench ent er t a i n an op i n i on which a former Bench had expressed, that he ought only to take dis tress warrants on one rate, instead of twenty, he would bow to that opinion, provided lie did not by so doing compromise his right afterwards to apply for the i ssue o f distress warrants ! on those rates. Mr. Horn explained that when Mr. Kent applied to a former Bench for distress warrants on all the rates, the Ma gistrates then present doubted their power to issue warrants on the eleven rates included in the mandamus issued by the Court of Queen's Bench. That point had, however, been set at rest by the opinion of Mr. Montague Chambers, which he had taken on the part of the Magistrates, and also by the ()pinion of Sir Frederick Thesiger taken on behalf of the Crown. Mr. Jones said he had the Attorney-General's opinion with him, and handed it to Mr. Devon. r. Horn offered to read it aloud, so that all the members of the Bench might hear it. Mr. Jones objected to its being publicly read. A copy of it would have been sent to the Bench, but Mr. Pemberton (lid -not feel himself justified in recommending it to the Crown to do so. Besides, it might get into the newspapers. After some discussion, the Bench then ordered the distress warrants on the rate of May, 1839, to issue against all the parties. - - SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

' • The arrivals of English Wheat fresh up since Monday coastwise, 'have been moderately good. By land-carriage, and sample, however, they have proved limited. On the whole, the stands were fairly supplied, yet the demand arising from the attendance of buyers, being tolerably numerous, was steady, and previous rates were supported in every instance. We had very few samples of fine Foreign Wheat on show. Selected qualities were in steady request at full prices. In other kinds, exceedingly little was doing. From abroad scarcely any orders have been received this week for the purchase of corn under lock; hence the demand ruled inactive, at about late rates. The best Grinding Barley was in fair request, but all other kinds were a slow inquiry. In Malt very little was doing, at late rates. Foreign Oats were a slow sale, and rather cheaper. In English and Irish a fair business was doing. Beans, Peas, and Flour were quite as dear. • Wheat. 1,290 qrs. ARRIVALS. Barley. 250 qrs. 8,400 1 Malt. 1,110 qrs. Oats.

A BOY CONVICTED FOR STEALING WALNUTS.—At Rochester petty sessions, on Thursday, a little boy, named James Thelburn, was convicted of having knocked down some walnuts from a tree, the property of Sir John Marshall, and was fined Is. 6d., being three times the value of the walnuts, and 13s. 6d. costs. In default of payment he was ordered to be committed to prison for 14 days, though his mother, a a poor widow, with a large family, was allowed a month to make up the money if she could.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Thomas Smith, about 40 years of age, wearing a very long ' beard, whose appearance denoted the very extreme of human wretchedness and defilement, and clad in filthy tatters swarming with vermin, was charged with vagrancy. Police-constable C No. 127, stated that between four and five o'clock yesterday afternoon he saw the prisoner in Piccadilly, sitting on the step of a door; a crowd of persons were around him, attracted by his singular appearance, and many, compassionating the miserable condition he was in, gave him money. Witness, knowing him to be an old offender, took him into custodv.. Mr. HARDWICKE—Then the prisoner is a known beggar? ' Constable—Yes sir; he has been about the town for years; he does not ask for anything, but places himself in the most public thoroughfares to excite charity, and generally reaps a pretty good harvest, which he speedily dissipates in drunkenness.• Mr. HARDWICK—He will find that he is not to subsist by public mendicancy. To the prifoner—How many times have you been sent to prison ? Prisoner—About once as I can re collect ; but as I may be mistaken I'll F ay I'm quite sure its not more than twice. Mr. HARDWICK asked if such was the case ?—Wilks, the gaoler, said he had been committed from this Court dozens of times. Mr. HARDWICK asked the prisoner if he had any home or habitation ?—Prisoner said he lived in Field-lane, Holborn, and worked for his living when he cauld get anything tio do. He was committed fon ten days. On his reception at the prison his hair will be cut short, and having been placed in a warm-bath and strictly cleansed, clean and wholesome apparel will be supplied to him. Rosina Bird, a strong, gaunt female, was charged with committing a most violent assault on Mary Anne Miller, whereby her life was endangered. It appeared that between three and four o'clock this morn ing, a quarrel having ensued between them at Hyde Park corner, the prisoner attacked Miller in a savage and furious manner, tore her c'othes from off her, and, after inflicting several severe kicks about the lower part of her person, seized her head between her hands, and beat it violently and for many times, first against the iron railings of the park, and then the flag. stones of the foot-pavement. The police coming up terminated the affray, and the prisoner having been taken to the station-house, it was found necessary to procure surgical aid for Miller, who was unable to attend this morning. The Prisoner was remanded until Wednesday next. SOUTHWARK. William Graham, an active young man, was brought be fore Mr. Cottingham, charged with a very daring robbery in a watchmaker's shop. It appears that on the preceding day the prisoner walked into a watchmaker's shop in the London-road, and pointing out a watch exhibited for sale in the window, requested to know the price. It was handed to him for his inspection and having agreed to give the price set upon it, he returned it into the hands of the shopman, desiring him to wind it up and set it going, as he was in a hurry to be off to business. This having been done without loss of time, the watch was returned to the prisoner, who, placing it in his fob with one hand, began rummaging about in his trousers pocket, as if searching for the money to close the bargain. Instead, how ever, of paying for the watch, the prisoner made a sudden " bolt " out of the shop, and ran down the London-road with great swiftness, pursued by the shopman calling out "Stop thief." When the prisoner got to the corner of Market street, he ran down the turning, but the number of his pur suers having increased he was at length stopped, and when subsequently searched the complainant's watch was found in his possession. _ _ _ When questioned by the magistrate, the prisoner said that at present be should decline making any defence, as be supposed the case must go before a jury.--He was then com mitted. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF RAPE.-- Samuel Hart, a grave-looking man, 50 years old, and nearly bald-headed, was brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged with forcibly violating the person of Mary Ann Dodd, his wife's sister, aged 18 years. Mr. Pelham stated the case for the prosecution. lie said this was a most painful and extraordinary case. The prisoner was a painter and glazier, and lived in Greenwood-street, Mile-ead. The girl whom he was charged with abusing was a cripple, and had been afflicted with a diseat-eof the hip from the time of her birth ; and one of her legs being shorter than the other, she could not walk without the assistance of a crutch. When she lay down, she could not rise again without a great effort, unless she was assisted. Soule time ago the girl went to the house of her sister, the prisoner's second wife, as a sort of domestic, and to do needle-work. On the night of Tuesday, the 16th ult., the prisoner came home with his wife at a very late hour. The girl was sitting up for them, and let them in, and th e y a ll wen t iw stairs to their bed rooms at the same time. The girl's bedroom was on the same floor, and adjoined the prisoner's bed-room. She slept with the prisoner's three children. At daybreak, -Ain, the morning of the 17th, the girl Was awoke by the prisoner, who had obtained admission to her bed, and he then committed the offence laid to his charge. The girl screamed loudly for help, indeed as loud as she was able, and the children awoke and began crying. The prisoner immediately left her and returned to his own room. His wife, it appeared, slept so sound that she did not hear the screams of her sister, and was not made acquainted with the affair until several days afterwards. The girl was so over come with shame and fear that she made no communication to her sister in the house or to any one else, until Sunday last, when she infor me d ano th er s i s t er an d h er f at h er that the` prisoner had abused her. and begged of them to obtain re dress. Her father promised that he would attend to her wishes, but he had not sought redress for his injured daughter, and took no steps in the matter at all. Under these circum stances the sister had consulted him (Mr. Pelham), and he advised that the man should be immediately given into cus tody. The prisoner was the father of a large family. He should prove the facts he had stated by the evidence of the injured girl, and he submitted, that notwithstanding the length of time which had elapsed before the prosecutrix made any communication to her friends, it was a proper case to be sent before a ry. Mary Ann Dodd was then sworn. Hertestimony confirmed the statement of her solicitor. She added that the prisoner bad since made improper advances towards her, which she had resisted. Mr. BALLANTINE-Why did you not mention this to the prisoner's wife? Witness (crying)—l was too much ashamed, sir. Mr. BALLANTINE—To whom did you first mention what the prisoner had done? Witne ss —T o my sister Caroline. I saw her on Friday last, and told her I was not comfortable with my eldest sister and her husband, and wished to leave them. On Sunday I left the prisoner's house, and told my sister Caroline how the prisoner had misbehaved. Caroline Dodd, who is several years older than the prose cutrix, stated that the last witness called upon her on Friday. She appeared much depressed, and said she was afraid of the prisoner, and that he had not behaved well towards her. She asked her sister what the prisoner had done, and she said she had something on her mind which she would divulge upon another occasion. On Sunday, when her sister returned home, she related everything to witness. She immediately communicated with her father, who desired her to leave everything to him, and he had done nothing. Mr. BALLANTINE- Did she appeor to be ill ? Witness— She was very ill, and had been fretting. Mr. BALLANTINE asked the prosecutrix if she had seen her sister between the 17th and 27tb, and she replied in the negative. Mr. BALLANTINE said the girl had suffered ten days to elapse before she complained to any one, and continued to live in the house of the very man who, • she alleged, had ruined her. That was an awkward circumstance ; but it did not palliate the prisoner's guilt, if guilty he was. The girl was of mature age, and there was nothing to prevent her complaining to the prisoner's wife, who was, moreover, her own sister. Mr. Pelham said.nothing but a feeling of shame had pre vented the girl communicating with her friends. He asked the sister if the prisoner's wife had not made some proposal in connexion with the affair. The witness said that her eldest sister had promised to support the prosecutrix and her offspring if she becaMe preg nant by the prisoner. Mr. Pelham asked for a remand, that he might obtain the evidence of a medical witness, and likewise the evidence of the prisoner's own son, who saw the immoral conduct of his parent. The prisoner, with much animation, said the charge was false, and trumped up against him by the prosecutrix and her sister, who had given evidence. He was a respectable and a moral man; and had never any idea of committing the offence laid to his charge. The girl had robbed him to a great extent, though lie bad supported and cherished her, and her sister Caroline was a common prostitute, who fOr merly walked Bishopsgate. He begged of the magistrate to allow him to put in bail and obtain professional advice, for he was an innocent man. Mr. BALLANTINE said he had no doubt the case must ultimately go before a jury, and when he did commit he would take bail for the prisoner's appearance at the Central Criminal Court. Under those circumstances he had no objection to receive good bail for the prisoner being forth coming to answer the charge on Friday next. Bail was then tendered and accepted for the prisoner, himself in 801., and two sureties of 40/. each, and he was set at liberty. ' A BRUTAL FELLOW.- William Hazle, an ill-tempered though well-dressed fellow, residing at 11, Portman-place, Stepney, was charged with cruelly maltreating Susannah his wife. The complainant, a delicate, interesting young woman, stated that she had been for four years married to the pri soner, and during the whole of the period he had treated her with most 'unrelenting cruelty, not from any sudden ex citement, but calmly and deliberately. On Sunday week he got a piece of rope, which he made up in the form of a whip, and on the same evening he took the screws from the binges of the door, which he again temporarily fastened up with nails. About four o'clock next morning he burst in the door, and beat her cruelly with the rope which he had prepared. On another occasion she • gave him in charge for beating her with a thick bamboo cane, which he split to pieces on her person, but on his promising amendment before the inspector, the charge was not pressed. On Wednesday last he came home in ill humour, and d--d the infant, who was crawling upon the ground. She told him not to do so, as his curses would fall upon himself, when he followed her into the kitchen, drew her along by the hair of the head, and gave her several blows and kicks, which cut and marked her severely. He never let her see the colour of his money, but left her and her' hildren to starve, so as that they were compelled to live on the casual bounty of the neighbours. Anne Pearson, a poor woman living in a house to the rear of the prisoner's, proved that for the last three months, during which she lived in the place, the prisoner treated his wife with unremitting cruelty. On the previous Wednesday she showed witness her legs, which were all over bruises, and in gores of blood.' The complainant was a most domestic woman, who never.left her home, but she and her children were half starved by the prisoner, and witness often assisted her with food out of-her own scanty means. John Pearson, husband to the last witness, stated that on Saturday he saw a stick rise and fall through the window of the prisoner's house as if some person was beating another in side with great violence. The house was at some distance, and as the door was shut, witness heard no cries. Mr. BALLANTINE—You and your wife assisted this poor woman ? Witness--ob, sir, don't speak of that, I'd blush to mention it ; 'twas a trifle--a mere trifle. I wish it had been more, poor thing, she subsists on too little. This little touch of generous sympathy and unostentatious -humanity thrilled through the Court with an electric effect. The prisoner in his defence admitted striking her, but said n A 19. • LLOYD'S SHIPPING—(THIS • I Losoox, I.—Wind this day at no on, S ligh breeze and line clear weather.
