CONVICTION OF THE PRINCE DE BERGHES FOR FORGERY. _ .. Some months back both the sporting and the fashion able world were deeply astonished by rumours of the commission of a very grave offence by a gentleman of rank and family, in the French capital. The delinquent was the Prince de Berghes, a young man about 23 years of age, and belonging to a very honourable family. A criminei process was instituted against the Prince, and his trial came on on Thursday last, at the Cour d'Assizes de la, Seine in Paris. The prisoner, on being arraigned, gave his name as Eugene Joseph Marie, Prince de Berghes, aged 23 years. After the usual formalities, the following act of accusation was read in open Court, and by it our readers will be put in possession of the whole affair as it now stands against the Prince: — There has existed for a long time past at Paris seve ral clubs or societies, regularly authorised, and which have, for the purposes of interior management, and with a view of giving more facilities than usual to the members thereof, in all pecuniary transactions, created a certain number of cheques, representing a value agreed upon, and always meeting, at the com pany's treasury on . the exhibition of the secretary's or caehier's signature, a . prompt payment from the capital, of which the cashier is constituted the depositAin. Since the year 18:33 this usage has been adopted by the Soce.ie d'Encouragement pour l'Amelieration des Races de Chevaux," known under the name of the Jcel/4ey Club, the seat of which is established at Paris, No. 2, Rue Grange Batalier. The cheques of this society, the number of which has been increased by successive deliberations from 150 to 250, are valued at 100 francs each. They arc made of polished ivory, painted red, and bearing on the face of them the year of their emission ; on the other side is the ordinal number from one to two hundred and fifty. Above the year Is engraved the name of M. Grandhomme, the secretary of the society, which gives them their obli gatory value. Under the guarantee of this signature they serve the purpoie of current coin, either between the members of the club or for the payment at the club of the expenses of subscription, or any other expense. The cashier takes them in payment, and reimburses them at sight. On the 28th May, 1845, M. Achille Stillere, a member of the Jockey Club, sent one of his agents to receive from the cashier the sum of 1,000 francs, the amount of ten cheques from his brother-in law, the Prince de Berghes (who did not belong to the Jockey Club), who had given them to him on the pre vious' evening, as he was about to start for the country, for a similar sum in money. As he was on the point of counting out the money, M. Grand homme was struck with the fact that the greatest part of the cheques appeared to be entirely new. On a closer examination he discovered that nine oat of the ten were made of bone, while the cheques belonging to the club were made of ivory. In a word, he discovered that the signature was not real, except in one of the cheques, and that on the other nine it had been falsely executed. The Prince de Berghes arrived in Paris on the morning of the 30th. Being pressed to de clare from whom he received the cheques that be had given to his brother-in-law, he said that he had re ceived them, with others, at the Chantilly Races, on Sunday, the 18th of May, from a foreigner whom he had heard called Zarleeti, and a description of whom he gave ; he added, that he feared he had given similar ones to many of his friends, and on the advice of one of the members of the Jockey Club he made, accompanied by M. Grandhomme, several inquiries, by means of which thirteen false cheques were withdrawn and sent to M. Grandhomme. Another false cheque was found the same day by M. Grandhomme in the number of those which he had in his cash-box. The society of the Jockey Club made known the facts to several of its members, and a letter to that effect was deposited at the parquet on the 2d of June. A few days after an instruction was demanded, in order to state judicially the facts and seek out the authors. They were first of all deceived with respect to Zarleeti, of whom Prince de Berghes had given particulars with such assurance and precision ; but, while justice was en gaged in fruitless researches an important discovery pointed to a new path to arrive at the truth. The police discovered the workman who had fabricated the cheques; this was one M. Morel, living at 152, Rue St. Martin. He was therefore called, together with his wife, before the magistrate, and they declared that on the 17th of May a M. Mignon, the brother-in-law of M. Lefevre, in the Rue de Bac, had ordered of him the cheques, con formable to a model which he gave to them, and on which there Was no signature ; that they had given en order of engraving on the face of them the figures " 1845," and on the other side a number conformable to that list which was given to them. M. Lef‘vre was called in his turn and confirmed this deposition, explaining that on-the 6th of May a gentle tleman who was tall, slender, and elegantly dressed, but whom he did not know, presented himself at his house to order fifteen cheques, conformable to a model, in red ivory, ehich he exhibited to him, bearing the figures " 1845," and above which the cheque was entirely white, as if it had been scraped • that on the 24th of May the same person gave a second order for ten cheques, and on the same day came to take away the twenty-five cheques, which were delivered to him on payment. It was evident, therefore, that the false cheques could not have been delivered to M. de Berghes, as he pre tended, on the race-ground at Chantilly, for the Chantilly races commenced on the 15th of May, and finished on the 18th, and it was prayed by the testimony and the books of those who had fabricated the cheques, that they had not been left in their hands for more than a week an.er the races. It was for the accused to explain before justice this strang contradiction. Ile appeared for the first time on the 18th of June, before the Juge d'lostrue tion ; there he first produced and attempted to sustain W., version, so manifestly contrary to the truth. He then caused it to be understood, without, at any time, accusing any person, that the false cheques could not be those that he held from Zarleeti, but that he must have received them while playing or the night of Saturday, the 24th, and Sunday, the 25th, at the house of the Messieurs De Guistry and Stanislaus Larochefoucault, where several of' their friends had assembled, and where, in the excitemennt of play, a considerable number of cheques of the Jockey pub had been circulated. 'l'nis new versian could not long exist. The same day, or some d iys after, M. Leftlvre was re-heard, and re lated the following in ident :—On the 17th, a domestic carne to his house to request he would call on the Prince de Bargbeg, at 32, rue St. Guillaume, where he was re ceived by the Prince in his cabinet. He found the latter writing, and he at once recognised in him the person who had ordered the false cheques. The prince imme diately said that the cheques had been seized, and that he ha I found it was a bad affair He begged of him in stantly to keep silence, and give him his word of honour to that effect. He . ipplicated. on various occasions, to be spared the condemnation and the dishonour which would fall upon his family end on his friends, &feting, if it was neces sary, to implore it on his knees, and promising to ob serve, on these conditions, everything that should be de sired of him. Lefevre apprised him that his declara tion had already been made, and that he had also given a descriptor of the person to whom he had delivered the cheques. He said that he could not take upon him self any engage -:) , ..nt not to tell the truth if justice de man•led it turn him ; that all he could do was to de neitoce the guilty. and not to direct researches upon him if he was nut interrogated. This is what preceded the position made by the Prince d,-! Berghes on the 18th of June, and in which, by two recitals equally false, he vainly attempted to conceal from jestice the meleneholy truth that was already too clearly foreseen. Ile soon acknowledged the inutility of hi-, presenting himself before the Juge d'lnstruction, he avowed his cuipability, giving at the same time, as, in deed he has since done, the most profound repentance. H e confirmed all the evidence of Lefevre, and confessed that he hirneelf forged the signature of M. Grand hom ne. lie also avowed that on Sunday, the 25th, he remitted false cheques to M. Stanislaus de Larochefou cault, anti three to M. de Betonniere ; that on Tuesday night, the 27th, he sent seven by M. de Guistry to M. Thin rry do Montesquieu, in payment of the sum of 700 f., which he owed to him. As to the other five he accounted for them thus: —Two, on which the signature of Grand &mime had not succeeded were scratched ; a third was broken ili the process, and two others were disposed of in a manner which cannot be accounted for. Thus the author hi.oself has avowed the fabrication of 25 false cheques, repre•enting 2.500 f., and of using 22 false ones, representing a value of 2,200 f. Ulterior interrogatories have reproduced and maintained his avowals. If we had to search in the annals of justice foe an explanation to so gravedifficult to find it in the ordi nary impulses of shameful ac-ions. Eugene de Berghes is the ivsas of a justly honoured family ; he was in a position wllere nothing could be desired, and there was nothing appakemtly to tempt him to the commission of such a cr e me. lie was already rich on his own account, and hes recently given his name to a young woman of an opulent family of great consideration. It is said that he had at his immediate disposition larger sums than those whirl he has lost, and that he could, " by showing a rexamehle employment for it, have had from his father and tether, in I,w any sum, for they lied never refused his deeeteds. He was not pushed for his debts. He felt the neiessity of giving an explanation, and be has allege I that he yielded to bad counsels and pernicious intuences. When he made the avowal of his guilt to the juge d'lnstruction, he pretended that the produL:e of the false cheques were fear the use of a woman with whom he was connected before his rof . treiage, w hi c h c nnex i on h e h a d d on e himself the injury to contin ue af ter his marriage, and to wheal on leer demand he would be obliged to give money unknown to his wife. These allegations, however, were denied. The person he indicated was called. She ad mitted the: he had beets brought to her house by a friend of his previens to his marriage, hut she denied that she hill ever had any intimate relations with him. Confronted with this witness, he acknowledged the truth of what she stated, and admitted that he bad imagined this story to give a reason for the creation of false chegiusc. In his lest examination he stated that he could not account for what he had dune, except from childishness and avant of reflection. Such an action can not, heave ver, either in his case, or in the case of any otshur person, be confounded with simple childishness, but must be explained by that life of idleness and dissi tuition which is eo common with the young men of the day who abendon themselves to frivolous expenses and innrdhiat , gambling. Nothing has occurred in the exa mination to show the accused to be deprived of the con sciousness & the acts which he commits. There is no thing to show that he is attainted with insanity. In a word, there is no circumstance in the whole of the exa mination to show that he ought to escape the conse wetkelA(Kie4tA unction. - She , pronounced:the accusation in the . .s .r ?ere,' 1 , p 1) he courts in France, and pro ',.1 - W likefiro • ie accused in the midst of the 1., , 16544k. 5 1- 11 iit-illee :Ttfei;tilftiFF;ltt e , nished, the prisoner was inter \esogatelbxflit'OeA as to the facts set forth in the ' ygliettnent -- ;ll4, \ A " ed nearly all the questions put 1 S - to him with " yes" or " no," and the only matter that could be drawn from him was, that he merely meant it as a joke, for he had paid back all the money be had re ceived for the counters, and that, as his brother-in-law, M. Seilliem, was a member of the club, be would have withdrawn the false counters by returning M. Grand home all he might pay upon them ; and, in short, that he knew not what he was about. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. handed over to the prisoner, that Messrs. De Lisle were not subscribers, Mr. Hooper, managing clerk to Messrs. Stevens and Fearon, accompanied by Morris, the con stable, went to Russell House, Balham-hill. No such person as Mr. De Lisle resided there. An old woman was in care of the house, which is to be let, and she told them that some months previously a gentleman called, and induced her to receive letters for him, repre senting himself to be Mr. De Lisle. At the prisoner's lodgings a large carpet bag full of railway papers was found. A question was raised whether the company was in a position to prosecute as a company, but the magistrate observed, and Mr. Clarkson entirely concurred with him, that provided there was a case of fraud established, it was a fit and proper case to send before a jury. After the above evidence had be.en read, Mr. GREEN WOOD, having given the usual magisterial caution, asked the prisoner if he wished to say anything? The prisoner, who spoke in a very low and indistinct tone of voice, was understood to say that he did not wish to make any statement. Mr. Clarkson—Some other evidence will be necessary to complete the case, which I am not now in a condition to produce, and my application, therefore, is, that you will remand the prisoner to a future day, when I will produce the woman at Russell:House, who will prove that the prisoner received letters there in the name of Fer dinand De Lislo. Mr. GREENWOOD — The Old Bailey Sessions occur this week, and the case will not be in readiness to go there before the grand jury is discharged. If you (prisoner) can, therefore, give me respectable bail to a considerable amount, for this is a serious charge, you need not remain in custody. The prisoner bowed thankfully to the Court, but made RO reply, except that he wished to be brought up again on as early a day as possible. He was then removed in custody. Mr. Ethnuud Yeakull, who was charged, on Saturday last, at this Court, with forging the name of Colonel Howard Stanley, Home-park, Windsor, to the subscrip tion deed of the South Midland Company, for time sum of 8001., was again brought up yesterday, when the Ma gistrate told him he would receive bail, but bail of the most respectable and solvent character, for his appear ance at this office on the day to which he stands remanded. The prisoner said the ch w arge was imaginary, but added that he could procure the requisite bail. GUILDHALL. Yesterday a.man about 40 years of age, who gave his name as John Thompson, was brought before Sir Chap man Marshall, charged with practising frauds upon two goldbeaters in the City, by which he had obtained a quantity of leaf gold. Mr. Cobley, of John's-court, Snow-hill, goldheater, stated that on Friday the prisoner came to his premises and presented a paper, requesting to be informed the price per thousand leaves of gold, for cash. Witness told him 50s. per 1,000 was the cash price. In abort two hours the prisoner returned with an order for 3,000 leaves, purporting to be written " for" Mr. Murray, of Charles-street, Hampstead-road. It requested the leaves to be sent with a receipt. There was a memoran dum signed "J. M." " Let the bearer have 300 with him." The prisoner explained that Mr. Murray wanted the 300 then, because the St. Alban's carrier was to call on him for them that evening. The prisoner also men tioned that the rest were going into the country. Wit ness let him have the 300, but he had some misgivings that it would be prudent to inquire a little before lie completed the order, and he discovered that no such person was known in Charles-street. On Saturday morning witness gave notice of the trick to a gold beater named Gates, by whom the prisoner was appre hended yesterday morning on attempting to repeat the fraud on him. The principal witnesses called on the part of the pro secution were M. Grandhorame, the secretary, and M. Boucher, one of the committee of the Jockey Club, M. Lefevre, theivory-turner, and Mme. Morel, who made the false counters, but their evidence was a mere repeti tion of the indictment, and presented no novel point of interest. M. Guy de Chamont Guistry deposed that, by the de sire of the Count Berghes, he gave seven of the counters, which were afterwards found to be false, to M. de Mon tesquieu, together with a further sum in gold, saying that it was in payment of a play debt. M. de Montesquieu not being in Court, the President read his previous deposition, in which he stated that, in the course of the winter, he won of the Prince de Berghes 1,300 f. The .Prince asked him to take the money in counters of the Jockey Club, but this M. de Montes quieu declined, as, not belonging to the club, and his not wishing to ask any member to present them for him; nevertheless the Prince sent Min seven of these counters and the rest in money. A sworn examiner of handwriting being called, and having inspected the false counters put into his hands, declared that the signatures were evidently done by the prisoner, and that he must have taken great pains in endeavouring to imitate the handwriting of M. Grand homme. Sir C. MARSHALL asked the prisoner what he had done with the gold leaf he obtained on Friday ?—The prisoner replied he had given the goods to Mr. Murray, who used to meet him at the corner of the street, and never would let him see at which house he resided. He had obtained goods from other places for him. Sir C. MARSHALL asked the prisoner where he lived ? —He said he had no fixed residence. Ile slept in a chew lodging-house in Whitechapel on Sunday night. 'rho night before that he walked about. _ _ _ _ Mr. Claridge, of King-street, Snow-hill, stated that the prisoner had obtained 300 leaves of gold I nun him in precisely the same way. He first called to inquire the lowest price per 1,000 for the large size, and afterwards brought an order for 3,000 leaves, with a memorandum at the corner for the delivery of 300 to the bearer. But this purported to be written by Mr. Murray himself, and was drawn up in a good business hand. Mr. Gates, of Vine-street, Hatton-garden, produced a similar order. in the same handwriting. It ran thus : " Charles-street, Hampstead-road. "Please to send 3,000 large deep gold at 555. and receipt. Let the bearer have 300 with him. " J. MURRAY. " Remainder, as soon as possible." Mr. Gates stated that, having heard from his neigh bour how he had bees served, he sent for him when the prisoner paid him a visit that morning. Sir C. MARSHALL said the prisoner's explanation was not at all satisfactory, either as to himself or to the transaction in which he had been engaged. The prisoner was remanded till Wednesday. James Vine, a powerful young man of respectable ap pearance, who refused to give his address, was charged with assaulting James Gallatley, a City policeman. The officer stated that the prisoner, who was drunk, came up to him about one o'clock in the morning, and asked him the way to Redcross-square. He showed him to the place. The prisoner then said ho was an American citizen. He had come from the land of equality, and he wished to know if he could fight. The policeman said he could not. The prisoner, however, was bent on attacking him, and without the least provo cation put out his leg and threw him heavily. The pri soner then said be knew he could only be fined 5/. for assaulting a policeman, he had plenty of money, and while he was about it he would give him a good quilt ing. He then knocked witness down., as soon as he got up, at least seven or eight times. Witness, who was far from being a match in strength for the prisoner, com• plained that he was bruised all over. Mr. Aungier, a resident in Redcross-square, stated that he heard the affray, and looked out of his window. Ile saw the policeman knocked down several times in a very brutal manner by the prisoner. The prisoner said the officer wanted to take him to the station-house, and insulted him by taking hold of his collar. He had absolutely taken him away from his own door, and locked him up in a cell all night. He considered himself the most aggrieved party. He had no witnesses. Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES said, even in England we were all pretty well upon an equality when we were in our cups. He should perhaps surprise him by the ad judication he was about to make, but it was his duty to teach the prisoner to control his violent temper, and he should direct that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one month, without imposing any fine. The prisoner begged him, for God's sake, not to do that. Put a fine on him, and he would pay it. Mr. Alderman 11. HUGHES said he should not alter his puniAment, and directed that he be handcuffed and removed directly. LAMBETH. Yesterday Joseph Harvey, a market gardener, was placed at the bar 13,,f0r0 Mr. Henry on a charge of man slaughter, in having cAused the death of Charles Itutherby. a musician, formerly belongtng to the Guards' band. Mr. Games appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Hardman for the defence. From the evidence it appeared that, in March, 1844, the deceased had let a piece of ground to the prisoner fur twelve months, and, in order to obtain p ssession of it at the end of that period, bad served the prisoner with a no tice to that effect. The prisoner, however, took no notice of this, but proceeded, on the Bth of April last, to sow some seed in the ground. The deceased, perceiving what he was doing, sent his wife to tell him that he should re quire the ground himself to plant potatoes in, but the prisoner said he should not give up possession unless by regular course of law. The deceased upon being told this by his wife went to where the prisoner was at work, when an altercation and scab took place, during which the prisoner gave his opponent a violent blow on the side with his elbow, which knocked him down. The deceased after the rencontre complained of violent irrernal illness, and voided a quantity of blood ; he had been since re gularly attended by medical gentlemen, and had also been to an hospital, but he gradually became worse, and died on the 30th of the last month. On the 6th inst. an inquest was held on the body of the deceased, and it having been shown by the medical testimony that though the had some time previously ruptured a blood vessel in the lungs. and that the lungs were in a diseased state, yet that the injury in the recontre with the prisoner was the immediate cause of death, the jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against him, and the Coroner issued his warrant for his apprehension and commitment to Newgate on the charge. The prisoner, however, managed to keep out of the way until Sunday night, when he returned home, and intended, as he stated, to have given himself up to this Court this day, being under recognizances to do so. The evidence of the various witnesses was taken at considerable length, and Mr. Henry fully committed the prison,sr, on the depositions taken before him, to take his trial at the present session at the Central Criminal Court on the charge of manslaughter. The parish beadle nas in attendance with the c ironer's warrant, to take the prisoner in the event of the magistrate not entering on the case. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 19, 1845. SOUTH WAItK ELECTION. MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF SIR WILLIAM MOLESWORTH. Last evening a public meeting of the electors of the Borough of Southwark was held in the large room of the Bridge House Hotel, for the purpose of receiving Sir William MoJesworth, and hearing a statement of his political principles. The hour fixed for the business to begin was seven o'clock, by which time a numerous as well as influential asgembly of the electors had collected ; the Hall, which will accommodate about 1,000 per sons, being nearly filled. On the motion of Mr. Edwin Evans, Mr. Wm. Hawes was called to the Chair. The CHAIRMAN, who on rising to address the meeting was received with great cheering, said that they had been convened together to select a fit and proper person. o represent them in Parliament, in the room of their late much respected member, Mr. Benjamin Wood. In doing this they were bound to examine the political, as well as the publi . and private character of the party whom they selected. He generally found that a political character was based on pre vious well-known acts of public life, and that this public , character was again the emanation of private life. '1 hey should therefore, in selecting a gentleman to represent them in Parliament, take care that his political principles, his public character, and his private conduct were all in harmony with each other.—( Cheers. ) Such a member they had in the late Mr. Benjamin Wood.—(Cheers.) His consistency and in tegrity had rarely been equalled, and never surpassed. ( Loud cheers.) Not only was that gentleman unex ceptionable on public and private grounds as their repre sentative, but he had been a resident among them. He was one of themselves. The gentleman who was present that night, and would be proposed to succeed their late respected Member, he was sure would fully come up to the standard of such a Member as that he (the Chairman) had described. Though residence amongst a constituency was a consideration that ought not to be overlooked, that qualification was not alone sufficient. They must look to the principles and general character of the individual. Though the gentleman now pre sent was not a resident, yet he was identified with them, he (the Chairman) was sure, in interest and opinion, and con nected with the borough by the ti e s of p ro p e rty. Besides this, he had shown by his address, ably, honestly, and without any ambiguity whatever stated, what his political views were. When he was a Member of Parliament before, it could not be denied that he rigidly adhered to his principles, even to the dissatisfaction of many well meaning friends, and he had never done any act by which he forfeited the confidence of those who reposed trust in him. His opinions were those of justice, and based on mature refection. There was a strange contrast in this gentleman's address compared with that of another candidate (Mr. Pileher), which had been issued. The latter address, while professing to be against restrictions on trade, said that care must be taken of vested interests. The explanation of which tn , ght resolve itself either into a sliding scale or a fixed duty. There was no distinct annunciation of a principle here. Now the candidate before them left no doubt whatever respecting his views on this important question. He was in favour of free-trade.—( Great cheering.) On this, the first great question of the day, there could be no dispute respecting what he meant. When in Parliament that gentle man was one of a few who voted in favour of free-trade.— ( Cheers.) The absent candidate talked vaguely about Protestant principles, yet at the same time he professed himself favourable to civil and religious liberty. In reading that portion of the gentleman's (Mr. Pilcher's) address, the only interpretation he (the Chairman) could put upon it was, that he was an ultra- Orangeman, a supporter of the Church, and an opponent of the voluntary system; one who would maintain the Irish Church in all its integrity, and therefore one that would per petuate all the abuses which had arisen from that Church Establishment.—( Hear, hear.) The candidate now before them was of a different character. He was one who would not only oppose the endowment of a second Church establishment, but who was willing to reduce the emoluments of the Church already . endowed.—( Great cheering.) These were the main and stirring questions of the day, upon which it was necessary there should be a clear under standing With regard to the Maynooth question, on which some difference of opinion existed, the worthy gentleman would fully explain his opinions. Some thought that the grant to Maynooth was preliminary to the endowment of the Roman Catholic Church.—(Cries of " No, no," and " Yes, yes.") To this view he (Sir William Molesworth) dissented. He viewed it merely as an educational grant, and not as tending to the alternative which was so much dreaded He (the Chairman) would not longer occupy their attention, but call on Sir William Molesworth to address the meeting. He would say that he hoped they would support him in giving every one who might choose to address the meeting a fair and impartial hearing.---( Loud cheers.) Sir WILLIAM Mcseeswoem, who in rising to address the meeting was received with loud and long continued cheering, said that in appearing before them as a candidate it would be necessary for him to state clearly and distinctly his political views, as the grounds on which he might expect their votes. In so doing he trusted the meeting would grant him its in dulgence as he had travelled all the previous night in order to be present at that meeting. He might say he was not entirely unknown to them. For nine years he had a seat in the House of Commons, and during that time he spoke and voted on all the leading measures of the day. The principles which would guide his conduct now were the same as had actuated him then. To those prin ciples he still adhered.—( Cheers. ) He was neither Whig nor Tory. He should attach himself to none of these great poli tical parties, but would consider it his duty to support such measures as appeared calculated to serve the interests of the people without regard to any of them. He had been called, and was a Radical.-( Loud cheers.) As a Radical he was in favour of an extension of the suffrage. It was sufs ficient on the present occasion to say that he was in favour of an extension of the suffrage. The extent to which he would not say, as it would materially depend on the increase of intelligence. He was also in favour of Triennial Parliaments. He would abolish Property Qualifications ; and, above all, he was in favour of the Liallot, as affording the only means by which the franchise could be honestly exercised. He would not dwell longer on these questions, as at the present time they did not take much hold of the public mind, but he would go to a question which did in a very great degree— he meant the commercial policy of the country. Within the last few years a great change had taken place in commercial policy. Since the accession of Sir R. Peel to power, many duties on articles of importation had been diminished or abolished. In doing so, Sir Robert Peel had been giving way to the feeling which for many years had been gradually growing in favour of free-trade; the principles of which were formerly only sup ported by a few thinking men, but were now supported by the leading men among both Conservatives and Whigs.—( Cheers. ) Considerable alterations had been made in the import duties, still they were not of extraordinary importance, beyond indicat ing the tendency of sound views in head quarters, and as likely to end in the abolition of all protection whatsoever. He had always been in favour of free t rade, long before the excitement on the question had been so great. He was opposed on principle to every kind of protective duties. He considered that duties should be imposed for purposes of revenue alone, and to meet only the rigid and pressing exigencies of the State. To all other duti es h was entirely hostile, as injurious to the best interests of the country. Such duties restricted commerce, diminished the means of employment, abstracted capital from its legitimate channels, and reduced wages.—( Hear, hear.) There was immense capital in the country ; but, in order to make capital profitable and wages good, it was necessary to command a market for their skill and industry. In order to do so, they should receive in return the goods of other countries that might require their produce.—( Hear, hear.) There could be no selling unless they bought in return.—( Hear.) Every law that prevented buying prevented selling. All laws that imposed duties on the goods of foreign countries, reduced the exports of this. By such means the field of labour was abridged, wages were reduced, and capital was left with out profit. The only remedy for this state of things was to remove all restrictions on trade.—(Cheers.) Protective laws had operated most injuriously, more especially the corn-laws. They had diminished commerce both in the north of Europe and America, because the chief export of those countries was corn, which could not be imported into this country without a high rate of duty. The consequence was, that those countries had been obliged to establish manufactories, producing goods that now rivalled the products of British skill and industry in the markets of the world--( Hear, hear.) The tendency of the Corn-laws was to rear up rival interests. lie had always voted against them, and would still continue to do so.—( Loud cheers.) He supported Mr. Villiers at a time when he had but few supporters ; since which, he was glad to s ay, a vast and striking change had taken place in public opinion, not only on the , Corn-laws, but free trade generally. Ile had now stated that he was a Radical and a Free-trader. There was another question to which he would refer • it was respecting the grant to Maynooth. It w as his duty to state that, had he been in Parliament, he should have supported the present Government in that measure.--( Loud cheers.) For many years there had been a grant of public money fur this purpose—for the purpose of educating the Roman Catholic priesthood, not to endow their church. This grant was but the carrying out of a con tract entered into at the time of the Irish Union, the object of which was to provide for the education of the Roman Catholic priesthood at home, instead of being obliged to go abroad to foreign seminaries, where it was supposed they imbibed principles inimical to their native coun try. On several occasions, while in the House, when the motion for the grant was opposed by the Orange party, he joined with the Liberal members in supporting it. It was evident that the grant had hitherto been inadequate for the object it contemplated, and, therefore, he would say, what ever might have been the consequences to himself, he would have voted with the Liberal members in support of the increased allowance.—( Loud cheers.) He would say, how ever, that he objected to the grant being taken from the public, and considered it should have been supplied from the funds of the Irish Church. Had he been in Parliament, therefore, he would have supported the motion of Mr. Ward, for the appropriation of a portion of the funds of the Irish Church to meet the grant. Speaking of Church establishments generally, he was in favour of the voluntary principle, or that each sect and denomination should support its own clergy. —( Cheers.) These were his honest opinions. If any subject had been omitted he would be glad to answer any question upon it. The Hon. Baronet they concluded his address amidst loud and general cheering. In answer to a'itring of questions from Mr. Knight, a Chartist, Sir W. MOLESWORTH stated that he would not pledge himself to universal suffrage. He was in favour of extended suffrage, and would extend it as intelligence advanced. In fact he would define no limits as to the extent to which elec toral rights might be increased. He was also against any in terference with any one on account of their opinions for or against religion, providing that discussion was legitimately conducted, having proper respect to the feelings of others. He was also generally in favour of the soluntary principle, and, of course, against the endowment of the Roman Catholic religion. Should he, on any future occa sion, see any good reason for applying a portion of the funds of the Irish Church to support the Catholic Church, and such a measure should be proposed, he would take no step in the matter without consulting them.—( Loud cheers and ciies of " The Poor-law.") He did not consider the New Poor-law a perfect measure, great changes had already taken place in it, and he would be willing to support any alteration that would tend to ameliorate and improve its provisions.--( Hear, hear.) A resolution, which will be found in our advertising columns, to the effect that Sir William Molesworth was a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament, was then proposed. After some oppositioa from Mr. KNIGHT, who contended that Sir William Molesworth's explanation had not been suffi ciently explicit, the proposition was carried, there being only nine hands against it. After a resolution pledging the meeting to support Sir William Molesworth had been agreed to, and a vote of thanks tendered to the Chairman, the meeting separated. MEETING OF 1118. MIALL'S FRIENDS. A meeting of the friends of this gentleman was held at the Southwark Literary and Scientific Institution, at which about 500 persons were present. After hearing a speech from this gentleman, which was an echo of the address he had pub lished to the electors, resolutions were passed pledging the meeting to use their best exe r ti ons t o secure hi s return to Par liament. After this the meeting separated. The secret has, at length, transpired of the name and nature of " The Royal Favourite," pourtrayed in Mrs. Gore's new novel. Though we confess ourselves startled, these are not times when clever skits of the nature of the work in question can be resented as an offence—witness the triumphant career of Pun a. Never did pages more amusing illustrate a subject more attractive ; and, but for the vein of pathos interposing through the work, we should pronounce it the very thing to cheer and enliven the minds overjaded by public business, or the still more enervating labours of fashionable dissipation. Witnesses were then called on behalf cf the prisoner. M. Guayras, the landlord of the house, 32, Rue Guil laume, stated he had known the Prince for a number of years, and he conceived him to be in total want of in tellect, and that his teachers could never make him un derstand anything. That, after attending the lectures in the law school, he never knew the subject of any of them. This witness further stated that when the two families were assembled to sign the marriage contract between the Prince and his intended wife, he refused to come up to the saloon, saying that his father could do all that was necessary without him, and that it was with the greatest difficulty the witness could get him to come with him out of the stable, where he was smoking his cigar M. Guayras related other instances of the Prince's imbecility of mind. Dr. Husson, a physician, deposed that he had known the Prince from his birth, and always found him slow of conception. This witness was proceeding to prove the justice of his conclusions by enlarging upon the phreno logical indications of the Prince's head, but was stopped by the President on the irrelevancy of his observations. Two teachers of English, an architect, and an histo rical painter, all of whom had given lessons to the Prince, deposed that they had never been able to make him comprehend anything. The last witness stated that the Prince had nervous affections, which prevented him from remaining two minutes in the same place. After a suspension of half an hour, the Advocate- General addressed the jury in support of the prosecu tion. He went through the whole of the evidence as to the facts, observing upon the testimony of each witness, and drawing therefrom, as an incontestable conclusion, that the unfortunate prisoner was guilty of the crimes laid to his charge He contended strongly against the attempt to prove that the imbecility of mind of the Prince was so great as to render him incapable of judging of the nature of the acts he committed. In opposition to the opinion of Dr. Husson, in particular, the Advo cate-General adduced the fact not previously stated, that when the Prince found from his interview with •Lefevre the ivory -turner, that all was, or must be known, comprehended the consequences, and went to the examining magistrate at his private residence, and to him, in affecting and energetic terms, not only confessed his fault, but expressed his repentance with sighs and tears, and prayers for fergiveness, thus extinguishing all idea that he had considered what he had done as a jelre, .He intimated that a memoir had been put in, contending that the counters were only of a fictive value, and there fore not within the letter of the law. Upon this, though not a question for the jury, he entered into argu ments, maintaining that the objection was not-valid, as, from the signature of the secretary of the club, the counters were, as between the society and the individual members, as valid as any other legal promise to pay money. The Advocate-General having oonclieded, M. Paillet rose to plead in favour of the prisoner, and at once demanded of the jury, not an extenuation, but that full and free acquittal which he affirmed reason, law, and justice required, and as he did not fear to say, was expected by all the world within and without the Court. M. Paillet first disputed the law as laid down by the Advocate-General, and went into a long and learned discussion of the principles of the law, insisting that the most essential feature was wanting in this case —the intention to defraud. He further urged this on the ground that his client had no motive for committing fraud, having no debts nor any other need cf money beyond the immense fortune insured to him by his mar riage. After examining the immediate circumstances of the case, and the peculiar character of the Prince de Berghes, M. Paillet said—" This young man has committed a fault ! But has he not expiated it by the irremediable publicity of this trial, and all that has preceded it, by remaining for the space of two months in durance, with all the restraints and miseries of an imprisonment so new to him, by days without repose and nt . , _ , ,hts without sleep ? Has he pot expiated it by the grief he has caused to those around him, by the bitter tears he has made to fell from the eyes of his respectable father, his poor mother, his young, innocent, and devoted wife ? Acquit him then, and you will leave this Court with tranquil consciences, followed by the benedictions due to an enlightened act of justice, a good action." The Advocate-General having replied, The President recapitulated the evidence with the most perfect impartiality, and the jury withdrew. After remaining an hour in deliberation, they brought in a verdict of Guilty with extenuating circumstances, and the Court pronounced its sentence of three years' imprisonment, with a fine of 100 f., thus negativing the legal objection raised by M. Paillet. The prisoner heard his condemnation with the. same imperturbability that he had shown throughout the day. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 18. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLINQUE.) THE SMALL DEBTS ACT. The Learned ComatissioNErt sat to-day for the pur pose of hearing a number of summonses issued against debtors under this Act, and the persons who appeared in answer to them were of the most needy description. Of the 14 cases heard all were dismissed for want of judgment except one, and that was where a tailor, who had recently taken the benefit of " the Act" in another Court, was adjudged to pay 11. per month in liquidation of the bill incurred with his attuney while passing through that ordeal. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN CI RCUIT.--Brist)l, August 16. The commission was opened in this city on Friday afternoon, by Mr. Justice Erle. Rumour had been rife, and it was confidently stated at Devizes that 120 venire; had been returned, which, according to the usual calcu lation, would have produced about 80 causes. This, on a circuit which had been far from prolific as to fees, gave a most encouraging prospect, and seniors and juniors hurried off from Devizes to be earls in Bri,tnl, for fear clients might imagine that they would not honour the ancient city with their presence; but, alas! many were doomed to be disappointed. They sat in silence all the Friday evening; but few, if any, briefs came in; and the youthful junior, whose friends had been pushing hard for him, and who had promises innumerable, took his tea without interruption, and went to bed upon the reflection and sweet hope that perhaps briefs would not be deli vered till the following morning. At length, that morning came, and at ten o'clock he found himself in Court without a single piece of "paper." The printed cause list soon appeared, and after paying Is. for it you perceived that only 33 cases had been entered. Of these seven were undefendtd, one cause was tried, and notwitstanding it was the day for the grand dinner given by the mayor, the Court sat till 9 o'clock at night to dispcse of it. It has long been desired that there should be a regular and proper assize in this city, land that the judges should come twice a year and deliver the gaol, and try civil actions in the same way as they do at other places. One d.fficulty, however, stool in the way—there was but one court that one certainly was the most inconvenient ever built, and all persons having business there joined in the hope that some cause or other might tend to its removal, and that two courts would be erected, in order that business might be pro. perly conducted. At length it was intimated that; he old building would be taken down, and that proper con veniences for the assizes would be afforded. But if it had not been that the people here have become notorious for their foresight by building a ship much too large to be taken out of dock, it would have caused great amaze ment, and would indeed scarcely have been'credited, th it though there was every space for Erecting two c-irts, th , y hare actually only built one, and that pro mises to out do the ancient one in inconvenience and bad arrangement. CENTRAL CRImINAL COURT. OLD COURY. Richard Jervis, formerly a clerk in the Bank of Elg land, was indicted for stealing an Exchequer -bill of the value of 2001., the property of the Governor and Com pany of that corporation. The prisoner pleaded guilty. The COMMON SERGEANT, in passing sentence, said that Mr. Freshfield, the solicitor to the Bank of Eng. land, had repm.ented several circumstances which had thy' effect of mitigating the sentence, that must other wise have been passed upon him for the serious offence he had committed. It appeared that he had been in the service of the Bank for twenty years, and had conducted hinr,elf all that period remarkably well. Ile had alto voluntarily returned to this country from France, whi • ther he had fled after the transaction, to meet the charge. Under these circumstances the seutouce upon him was that he be kept to hard labour for two years in the House of Correction. _ Some other cases were disposed of, but they did not contain any matter of interest to the public. The judges, who are expeetA to attend on Wednesday, are Mr. Justice Williams and 11r. Justice Creiswell ; Mr. Baron Rolfe is also on the rota. The following is the present state of the gaol of New gate :—Prisoners for trial at the present session—males, 187, females, 32 ; remanded from the last—males, 3 ; under sentence of imprisonment, males, 4; ditto of trans portation for 10 years, male, 1 ; ditto whose judgments were respited, males, 3.

CLERKENWELL. Mr. Charles Lander, a ri spectably-attired middle-aged man, was yesterday brought Lefore Mr. Greenwood, charged with forging the name of Mr. Ferdinand De Lisle, merchant and banker, of the firm of De Lisle, Janvrin, and De Lisle, Devonshire square, for 5001. to the subscription deed of the South Midland, Nor thampton, and Leicester Railway Company, with intent to defraud the said Company. The number of shares was twenty-five, at 201. each. The prisoner described himself as a land surveyor, re siding at 11, Webber-street, Blackfriars. Mr. Clarkson appeared as counsel, and Messrs. Stevens and Fearon, of 1, Gray's Inn square (who are the solicitors to the Company), as solicitors for the prose cution. The facts of the case appeared to be these:—On the 19th of June last the following letter was received at the offices of the Company, 1, Gray's Inn-square; it was addressed to the Directors of the Company:— " Gentlemen,—l am desirous of subscribing for fifty shares in this undertaking, and I hereby agree to pay the deposit on so many of such shares as may be allotted to me, and to sign the subscription agreement and Par liamentary contract when required, " I ain gentlemen, &C., " FERDINA:ND DE LISLE, Merchant. " Russell House, Balliam-hill, June 19, -1845." He gave reference to Messrs Huntley, bankers, Fen church-street, and cited as witness " Charles Saunders, surveyor, No. 7, Great Charlotte-street, Blacktriars road." The secretary knowing Messrs. De Lisle to be persons of the highest respectability, the Directors felt no hesitation in alloting to the applicant twenty-five shares, and on the 15th of July the secretary, Mr. Brown, forwarded to Ferdinand De Lisle, Esq., of Russell House, Balham-hill, the usual letter of allot ment. The evidence will best explain the remainder of the transaction. Mr. Stanley, of No. 1, Gray's Inn-square, deposed that ho was accountant to the South Midland Railway Com pany. On the 19th of July last the prisoner called at the office of the Company, and having stated that his name was Ferdinand De Lisle, of Russell House, Balha.in hill, produced the letter of allotment and the hanker's receipt ; he signed the subscription deed -as above— Frederick De Lisle, &c. The prisoner on that occasion added that he was a brother of Mr. De Lisle, the banker. The name of the trustees to the deed were Mr. Tatham 1 and Mr. Young. Mr. Clarkson—l will now produce Mr. Ferdinand De Lisle himself. Mr. Ferdinand De Lisle was then sworn—l never lived at Russell-house, 13alham-hill. I never signed that deed (the instrument was produced). I never authorised any one to sign it. The prisoner is not my brother. I know nuthiug of him. I never saw him until I saw him in the dock to day. I have no shares in the South Midland Railway. The prisoner is not connected with my brother's house. I never made any application for shares to the company. PAce-constable Francis Morris, 78 E, deposed that he took the prisoner into custody about nine o'clock On the previous (Sunday) morning, at 11, Webber-street, Blacktriars-road. When I arrested him (said the officer) I asked him if he knew Mr. Ferdinand de Lisle ; ha said he did. I then asked him if he signed Mr. De Lisle's name to thz subscription deed, and he replied he had done so, but that he did not know he was doing any harm. I found a large quantity of papers and a memo randum-book (produced) in his bedroom. Mr. Clarkson—l have not examined the book very closely, but I have seen enough to show that the writer of it trafficked largely in railway shares. (To the policeinavi)—:/id you ask the prisoner his name at the station? Constable—Yes, and he said it was Lander. Information having reached the company soon after the subscription-deed was signed, and of course after the deposit, 27/. 10s., had been paid in to the company's bankers, Messrs. Currie, of Cornhill, and the scrip GREENWICH. DISCOVERY Or WATCIIES.-Philip B inhh-tm, who described himself as a watchmaker, carrying on business at No. 5, Union-street, Bishopsgate-strect, was charged before Mr. Grove with being drunk and with assaulting police-constable Stewart. Sergeant Harvey, 4 R, deposed that on Saturday even ing his attention was drawn to the prisoner by Mr. Larkan, proprietor of the Gloucester Coffee-house, Park street, Greenwich, who had the prisoner's child, about three years of age, in his arms, endeavouring to protect it from the prisoner's violence,' he being in a state of maddened intoxication. Witness endeavoured to per suade him to go home quietly, which he refused to do, and witness was at length obliged to call for the assist ance of Stewart to take him into custody. Oa search ing hue at the station-house fifteen duplicates, relat ing to gold and silver watches, were found upon him, for eight gold watches, five silver watches, a bracket clock, a gold chain and seal, pledged for various sums, amounting in the whole to about fifty pounds, and pawned in the vicinities of Finsbury-square, Old-street, and Minories. llaving ascertained the prisoner's ad dress, witness sent the child home by a police-constable. Some of the watches were pledged in the prisoner's own name and the rest in the name of Fielder. Police-constable Stewart deposed that he was called by last witness to assist in taking the prisoner into cus tody, and, on his attempting to do so, he was kicked several times in a most violent manner about his legs by the prisoner. The prisoner, upon being called upon for his defence, said that he was drunk at the time. Mr. GROVE said—But what account do you give of the watches ?—The prisoner replied, that he had had the watches entrusted to him, and that he had pawned them. Mr. GROVE—Then, on your own showing, you are liable to three months' imprisonment on each case of pawning, and I shall certainly not part with you until the police•constables have had ample time to make in quiries in order to ascertain whether they are not the produce of some robbery, and for such purpose I shall remand you until Saturday next. A WOMAN MISSING.—Mr. Moze, - one of the members of the Greenwich board of guardians, applied to the sitting magistrate (Mr. Grove) for his advice under the following circumstances Mize said that a poor man who rents a cottage of him at East Green wich, named Jarl, had missed his wife since Wednes day last, on which day she left home to attend the funeral of a deceased friend at Ratherhithe. Finding that she did not return home that night he became un easy. On the following day he went to his friend's house at Rotherhithe, where he learned that she had left on the previous evening in the company of two of the p,arty, one of-whim was a um,. That individual he-had sinceibeeii informed did - not return home that night, and when he did so the next morning his face was scratched and otherwise injured. Applicant believes that if some thing serious had not happened to the p man's wife she would have returned home to her family. From the very unsatisfactory staterreat made by the person whose face bore murk 4 ~f violence, his tenant's Sears are that she has been murderei and afterwards thrown into the Surrey Can Mr. Inspector Douglas said that notice had been left, at the station, and the most prompt steps had been taken to ascertain what had been the fate of the poor woman. Mr. GROVB expressed great hopes that, from the activity of the police, assisted, as he trusted, by the publicity of the circumstances in the papers, the tate of the unhappy man'a wife would not long remain a mystery. Mr. Moze thanked the magistrate and retired. FLANDERS and HAMBURGH MAIL. BRUSSELS, AUG. 14.—M. Nothombe, who was erro neously stated to have set out for Berlin, took his oath to the King on Tuesday, in the quality of Envoy Extraor dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty at Berlin. _ It seems that the apprehensions that were entertained fur the crops of potatoes begin to be allayed. Yesterday in the market of Brussels, while the price of corn experi enced a further rise, the price of potatoes, which last week was a few francs per sack of 100 kilogrammes, fell to 4f. 50 centimes, and at the close of the market to 4 francs. But it seems by accounts from Roulers, that the sickly appearance of the potato plants continue to cause touch uneasiness. There will be good crops they say of rye, wheat, oats, and beans, if tho rain should cease within a few days. All the steamers of the royal English navy have left the roads of Antwerp, except the Victoria and Albert, which will w ait till her Majesty's return. The Monileur publ.shes a royal decree, of the 30th of July, at the instance of M. Dechamps, Minister of Works,Pub which completes th e organ i sat i on o f t h e Post e co nsists of eight een art i c l es, t h e most cur i ous , c l It but the least gallant, Of which is as follows :—" Women are nit admissible to employment in the administration of the Post office." THE WEATHER. — During the past week a favour , and the glass is now rising steadily. . Reaping s in various parts of the country, saabd, ch ange ould th h the t n a e kh weather a bg a t pehleuer begun continue, there is every prospect that the harvest will soon become general. We are informed that the appearance of the crops everywhere is truly magnifi cent. Grain of all kinds covers the earth with a luxuriance scarcely ever equalled, while of turnips, swedes, potatoes, &c., the present year is perhaps unparalleled in their abundance. Nevertheless it must be acknowledged that the season is of a most critical nature—a great quantity of the wheat crop is much beaten down, and will inevitably be spoiled should there be more wet weather. On the contrary, should dry weather continue, the wheat harvest will yet be most propitious. In quality, under no circumstances, can the produce of 184 b be equal to that of 1841, nor will the yield of fhur from a given quantity of corn be either so good or so large; but the acre age produce in bushels will, we think, be far greater, for where ,two stalks grew last year, at least three are growing and cheapness, will go far to mitigate the harm that may have been done to the wheat. Welshman. now. Potatoes are an excessive crop, and, by their plenty THE WEATHER AND THE CROFS.---Unless the wea• ther clears up. and that very speedily, the corn crops, especially those of wheat and barley, will be seriously damaged. During the last ten days we have experienced bat very little sunshine. We have had much heavy ram, attended, at intervals, with a heavy moist atmosphere. The crops, generally speaking, are very backward. In many localities they are laid, and evi dently damaged. W e trust t h at we may b e f av oured with bright dry weather, f or ot h erw i se i t i s aw f u l to contemplate the results.— Carnarvon Herald. GLASGOW. —THE WEATHER.--This week the weather has been more favourable to the progress of the crops. and we have no doubt, notwithstanding the humid state of the atmosphere previously, that the harvest will be general in a week or two, though the crop may not be so heavy as last year. Various fields of corn have been cut down already throughout the country, and Irish reapers are arriving in great numbers at the Broornielaw. Yesterday was a beautiful day, the sun shining out strong, with a fine drying breeze.—Scotch Re "'Ter's Gazette. THE IVEATIIER AND THE CROPS.—Yesterday was fair throughout, and on the whole was a tolerable harvest-day. In the afternoon a change of wind from the west to the north brought a corresponding change in the atmosphere ; but as the atmosphere was clear, dry, and breezy, it may probably indi cate the com m encement of good weather. A few patches of barley on early spots have been cut, and some samples were ex hibited in our market on Wednesday. The crops, however, have made little or no progress for the last fourteen days ; and although a favourable change of weather would now bring them forward with great rapidity, until the change occur no one can hazard a guess as to when the harvest will be generally com menced. The heavy rain of Sunday has lodged a large portion of the crop, w hi c h i s thereby in greater danger than ever; and it is now quite certa i n that the harvest can on l y b e a favoura bl e one by an imm e di ate and decided change i n the weather. Th e markets are ri s i ng steadily and rapidly ; and it is almost safe to predicate that, except under circumstances more f avoura bl e than we are wa rrante d at so late a per i od o f t h e year to l oo k for, the present prices are almost certain to be maintained. How much higher the markets may go depends altogether on the weather which may follow.— Scotsman of Saturday. THE AFRICAN ROSCIUS.—The statement which has appeared in most of the London and provincial papers, that Mr. Aldridge, the African Roscius, was killed in the neigh bourhood of Llanidloes, by his carriage: falling over a precipice 120 feet high, is false, that ge ntleman having performed at Neath on Wednesday evening last before a highly respectable audience. We susp ecte d the aut h en ti c ity of the paragraph when we first read it. —C am b r i an . Hot. INTEL-MCI:NM—The weather continues un favourable for the hops. The burr has made no progress dur ing the past week, which has been marked by blights, high winds, and heavy rains. Certainly something has progressed, and that is the vermin. The winds have " whipped" the bine; and as the growth is now arriving at a precarious state we may safely say that, unless settled fine weather speedily come, there will be a fail ure . The duty has very greatly re ceded since last week ; it now ranges from 172,0001. to 175,0001. General accounts state that the burr hangs back ; but that, on the whole, the grounds look well, and only want fine weather to realise the expectations of a good crop.—Dover Chronicle, r.~~ SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT. We are sorry to have to record another learf rail way collision, owing to the gross carelessness of one of the rotnpany's servants, on the line between Sunderland and Brockly-whins, on Friday last. We have been fur nished with the following particulars by a gentleman who was present ;—" We started from Sunderland by the half-past 3 o'clock p.m. men train. Before we hid proceeded above half a mile, we came•in contact with the three o'clock train from Newcastle, both proceeding at a quick pace at the time. Tee collision was most fearful, and 'he consequences very serious to the passengers. Our passengers included Mr. Charles Tee, a great rails way proprietor, of Barnsley ; Mr. Brunton, town-clerk of Sunderland ; Mr. Richardson and Mr. Gutch, two highly respectable solicitors of York, who had been assisting in the election of Mr. Hudson; Mr. Palsy, of the Anti-Corn-law League; several other gentlemen, and about half-a-dozen ladies. Not a single person travelling by our train es caped injury. Mr. Richardson and Mr. Gutch were both badly bruised, and especially the latter gentleman, whose face was painfully ch,figured. He Was rendered very feeble owing to loss of bloed. Our stoker Lad, I believe, his a. na broken, while the engine-driver, seeing his danger, saved himself by leaping off the engine. A about fourteen years of age, had his eyes fright • fully bruised and cut. Mr. Falvy sustained a contusion on the leg. All the women nerd severely stunned, but more particularly two of them, one of whom had an infant at the breast in her arms at the time. The chill did not seem to be much worse. Having only one carriage with our train, it is miracu:ous that every life was not sacrificed. The massive iron of our engine and tender was shattered to pieces, and our escape from certain death can only be ascribed to a strong truck which was placed between our carriaga and the engine. That corning from Newcastle was a larger train. Its engine was likewise much broke'', and many of the pas s-ngers injured, but less seriously than those of the oth • r train. What is inexcusable in connexion with the sad occurrenee is, that it took place ut a juneti ,n of two lines (the one being a diversion for the conveyance of coals). where there is only a single row of rails, and a here the signal fl cgs for the Newcastle train to :tele were actually hoisted at the time. When the engine -driver of that train, however, was asked why he did not stop, his only reply was, that he was aware he ought te have stopped, and did not know why he did not do so. After being detained for about three quarters of an hour other engines were brought from Sunderland and Brockley Whins, and some of the passengers were conveyed bark to the former and others to the latter place, where the north mail was wwitieg to procei dto York. This line is notorious for having more accidents upon it than any other in existence. One or two gentlemen (who ap peered neither to have shared in the risk nor the effects of the calamity) seemed very desirous to patch up the scandalous piece of reckless's. es by which so many lives had been placed in jeopardy; and from the great anxiety which they manifested or, this head, I was led to suppose that they had some connexion with the line, and were solicitous about escaping the responsibVity and public censure which such results of its wretched management must give rise to."— Times. TIIE QUEEN AND THE COUdIER. —A somewhat singular case of wilful disregard to efforts to deliver an im portant. dispatch befel that very energetic and efficient French Courier de Cabinet, Mons. Perrier, a few days ago. That gentleman left Calais in a fishing-boat on the afternoon of the 10th inst., having in charge a dispatch from the King of the French to the Qw-en of England. His object was to fall in with the Queen's squadron on its way to the Continent, and he managed the matters very cleverly so far as he was concerned, for he sighted the ships and made for them on Sunday morning. ' French fishing boats cannot be expected to be largely furnished with bunting ; but what they had to hoist they did, and probably most sorely puzzled thereby the several signal midshipmen of the several ships. Certain it is that not the slightest symptom of an understanding did they hang out, and there fore all that remained to do was to get as much sail on the boat as she could stagger under, and, if possible, come within hail. They did so, and finally contrived to get close to the royal yacht ; but not the most distant notice was paid to any effort that was made to obtain attention, and perhaps it was con trary to etiquette to do so on the part of officers having charge of royalty. The same excuse, however, does not apply to the other three steamers, who most courtier-like and ser vilely imitated the bearing of the leading-ship ; and it was all in vain that Monsieur Perrier displayed himself in his uniform, and held up his dispatch, and went alongside of the other three steamers ; they steamed on thei r s t ea d y way , aw l ren d ere d abortive al the management and cow rivanco for the accom plishing his arduous duty which Monsieur Perrier had so ably displayed, and greatly to his vexation he was forced to return to Calais still the bearer of the dispatch.—Post. lIERRING FISHING.—BERWICK, AUG. 15 —During the last week our boats have only been able to go to sea twice, owing to the continued prevalence of the north and north-east winds, which raised a heavy sea on our bar. They v en t ure d out another night, but were obliged to return without shot ting their nets from the swell. This morning a few of the boats have returned with several crans each, but most of them are again clean. The sea is still stormy, and unless the weather settle in the course of a week our fi-hermen consider the pro spect will be closed. The demand is good, and fair prices—and should the weather change favourably there is a considerab!e appearance of a fishing.—Earamouns.—Owing to the stormy state of the weather only four of our boats were off on Monday night, which caught from one to five crane each. The price was 20s. per cran, for London. On Tuesday none ven tured out. Thursday morning brought in the best fishing of the season. Two boats had sixty crane each, a great number from twenty to fifty, and very few less than twelve. The prices were 11s. and 12s. Two Yarmouth vessels have sailed to-day (Thursday) with 100 crans each. There are upwards of eighty boats in the harbour, and the curers are buying with great spirit. The herrings are taken very close to the shore and near the harbour.—Berwick Advertiser. KIRKCUDBRIGHT ELECTION.— We learn that great excitement has prevailed throughout the Stewe.rtry for severa days past on the subject of the pending election. The Whigs and Free-traders finding that great advantage was taken by their opponents in stirring up the religious feelings of the voters against Mr. Maxwell, on the ground of his being a Catholic, have withdrawn him and started Thomas Maitland, Esq., of Dundrennan, the late Solicitor-General, on the same interest. They are now sanguine of success ; and we learn from a disinterested party that they have good cause to be so. The Conservatives are said to be finding it sad " uphill work," to make any material inroad upon the late Mr. Murray's ma t nit) , of 400. The polling takes place on Monday and Tuesday. Scotch Reformers' Gazette. SALE OF SLAVES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THEOLOGY. —We find the following notice of a public sale, in the Sa vannah Republican of March 3, 1845. After describing the plantation which was to be sold, the notice adds—" Also, at the same time and place, the following negro slaves, to wit, Charles, Peggy, Antonett, Davy, September, Maria, Jenny, and Isaac—levied on as the property of Henry T. Hall, to satisfy a mortgage ft. fa. issued out of Mclntosh Supreme Court, in favour of the board of directors of the Theological Seminary of the synod of South Carolina and Georgia v. said Henry T. Hall. Conditions cash.—C. O'Neal, Deputy Sheriff, M. C." TnE HARVEST.—Cutting is not only general in this neighbourhood, but a large quantity of wheat has been carted during the present week; whilst in districts which are in general behind this vicinity in harvest, a considerable por tion of wheat and even barley have been cut. From all we can hear, in the wheat there will be a considerable falling off in the yield, as compared with that of last year, and that the better the land is the worse the produce will he; it having been greatly affected by the blight. There will he an abund ance of straw, in consequence of the superabundant moisture. The barley promises more than an average crop, and is in ge neral ready for the scythe. Oats were never better, the weather having been such as exactly suited their growth and ripening. Birds are plentiful and strong, but the fields will hardly be suf ficiently cleared by the Ist of September to allow sportsmen to commence operations.—Hampshire Advertiser. THE LATE MIL BUTLER, TUE TRAGEDIAN.—It is with extreme regret we announce that the widow of Mr. Butler .has been left in embarra-sed circumstances. We believe Mr. Butler's fortune was expended in unprofitable speculations, in which the late actor embarked with the best intentions, but the most ruinous result. Mr. Hariey has forwarded 10/. from the Drury-lane Theatrical Fund; Mr. Meadows a like sum from Covent-garden. Mr. Butler was indefatigable in aiding the subscription far Mr. Elton's family, and a few days before his death exerted himself in behalf of Mrs. Hood and tier orphans. —Sunday Paper. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.— On Thursday afternoon, as a train was proceeding from Glou cester to London, the engine ran off the rails, near Standish, dragging some of the carriages after it. No personal injury, however, was sustained.— Gloucestershire Chronicle. An elephant was never introduced on the English stage till the production of Blue Beard. This is a positive fact ; for Fawcett made his first appearance, I recollect, in one of its hind legs. He was so nervous at the time, that in going over one of the traps it gave way, and Fawcett and his companion leg were precipitated through it. The result was that Blue Beard and his black att. nilant were brought to the ground, and the two front lees of the ele phant were seen lifted up in the air kicking -sway most violently, whilst the two hind legs, with Fawcett in one of them, were kicking no less violently under the vta,f,e. fhe curtain was obliged to be dropped before Fawcett or the ele phant, could resume his natural footing. lie afterwards at tempted to put down elephants when he was staa, =nay,-ger, but they were always too strong for him. —Punsit's Afteedotts of Actors.

Tl.e deceased was said to be the natural son of a Noble Earl, wno held a high offiee in the household of George 111., and %s ea married to a very fine woman, but who lived with a military officer, after having lived for some years as the wife of Sir Charles or Edward Douglas. It is added that, after this elopement, the soi disant Charles or Edward paid a !dresses tr. a widow lady, Madame 8., and at one time a marriage between them was regarded as certain, but the affair was broken off. Atter the death of the soi disant Sir Charles, it was foetid, to the asto nishment of the persons who were preent, thit it ease woman and not a man, and we are assured from positive a uthority, that a medical inspector proved the deceased to be a virgin. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon, at thret -*clock. The deceased hal in France an allowance of 3,000 f, a rear, made by some member of her family ; but it appears ths4 she was con siderably in debt to her landlord and various tradesmen. _ Galignani's Messenger.
