On Monday evening great excitement prOYailed in the parishes of Wandsworth and Battersea, in consevence of a woman having attempted the murder of her two children and her own destruction. The circumstances connected with this dreadful affair are these :—On Monday evening, about live o'clock, a woman, about 26 years of age, named Amelia Alfred, left her home at the water-side, Wandsworth, with her two children, a girt and boy, aged respectively six and four years, and proceeded: to Wandsworth-common, where she wandered about for . nearly an hour, and then approached a large and deep pond called the " Black Sea." It would appear that whilst stand ing on the margin of the pond she tied the two children to her waist, and then precipitated herself into the water. The bank was shelving, and the water was rather shallow at that point, but so determined was the wretched woman upon: making away with herself and her offspring, that she after wards threw herself on her back, so that the water covered. both the children and herself. At this critical period, Wm.. Alfred, the brother of the unfortunate woman, a lad not more than 14 years of age, ran up to the spot, jumped into the water, and tried to rescue the children. Finding 'that he could not release them, he held their heads above water, and. hallooed for assistance. Mr. Alexander and his lady were walking on their lawn, which is adjoining the pond, and hearing the boy's screams, Mr. Alexander instantly surmised that some one was in the water, and taking his gardener with him, ran to the pond. The lad was still keeping the children's heads above water, but appeared ready to drop from exhaustion. The gardener jumped into the water, and with his knife severed the handkerchief, and released the children from their perilous situation. Police-constable Lee,. 38 V, who was on duty on the common, assisted in getting the wretched woman out of the pond, having previously sent. to the union to request the master and matron to have a warm bath and other appliances in readiness. The children, who, through the valorous, conduct of the lad Alfred, were not seriously injured, were kindly taken charge of by Mrs- Alexander, and conveyed by that lady to her residence. The unfortunate woman Alfred when taken out of the water was to all appearance dead ; she was conveyed as quickly as pae sible, however, to the Wandsworth Union , where Mr . Kin g , the master, and his wife, the matron, were prepared to re ceive her. The means used in restoring persons from drown ing were adopted, and before the arrival of the medical officer, Dr. Connor, the poor creature exhibited symptoms of return ing animation. Every attention has been since paid to the wretched woman, but she is still in an extremely precarious condition. There is little doubt that the woman is insane, and that that insanity has been brought on by ill-usage and distress. She had lived for years at Wandsworth, her native place, with Henry French, a journeyman carpenter and caboet maker, by whom she had her children. This man, in la;a -vember last, was charged at Wandsworth Police-court with stealing a silver watch which had by accident been left ire the drawer of a cheifonier he had to repair, and was com mitted for trial. The woman Alfred, who was then supposed to be his wife, proved her great attachment for the fellow, for she never ceased petitioning persons to speak for him on t.lke day of trial. The prosecutrix even recommended the pri soner to mercy on her account, and he consequently had but a slight sentence passed on him. At the expiration of his imprisonment French returned to Alfred, who was living with her mother, a washerwoman, at the water-side, Wands,- worth, but he had no sooner recruited his strength than he basely deserted her and his children. This cruel conduct was not without its effect. Thepoor creature, who had done all that a devoted woman could to save, and afterwards comfort him, became mad, and was passtd by the magistrate at Wandsworth Police-court, as a lunatic, to the Surrey County Lunatic Asylum, at Garret, where she remained a short time, and was discharged as cured. From that thue up to Monday she lived at home with her brother, and it was generally noticed that she appeared very much dejected.. Whilst the woman was beingitripped at the union, a letter fell from her bosom. It was a wretched scrawl, from the fellow French, and the substance was, that lie never intended to live with her or any other woman again, and she must work and do her best for herself and children, as she could expect nothing from him. Yesterday the superintendent of the V division made Mr. Clive, the sitting magistrate, acquainted with the particulars, and it is understood that as soon as the wretched woman is capable of removal she will be taken to the court to undergo examination upon the charge of attempting to murder her children. The affair has cast a gloom over the neighbourhood. The sympathy of all is in the wretched creature's behalf. . • ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in - ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noon, and thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE.

The insolvent had carried on business as a publican, in the town of Chichester, and was opposed by Mr. Woodruff:3 on the part of his brewers. His petition was supported by Mr. Cooke. The grounds of opposition were, that he had made away with property to the detriment of his creditors, to a large amount. Evidence haviq g been adduced, which showed that the insolvent had said his house a few days before he pri vately left Chichester, taking with him 1701. in cash ; and also that he had been possessed of a great quantity of plate, of which no account had been rendered in his schedule. The insolvent, in his defence, said, that after his arrival in London he had bought a number of shares in the Agricultural Association of New Zealand, and some new shares in a joint-stock bank, the name or locality Of which he could not describe. Mr. NicaoLLs said this was a gross case of fraud, and the Court felt bound to stamp it with its strongest mark of reprobation. The sentence was, that the in solvent be remanded for twelve calendar months from the date of his vesting order. SUMMER ASSIZES. HOME CIRCUIT.—Lewes, July 29. The Commission for the county of Sussex was opened to day at nine'o'clock, and at ten both Courts proceeded to business. On the Civil side sixteen causes are en tered, and there are thirty prisoners for trial. Mr. Baron Parke sat in the Criminal Court, and Mr. Baron Gurney presided at Nisi Prins. (Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) Charles Phillips, aged 17, a well-dressed youth, who was said to be very respectably connected, was indicted for uttering a forged order for the payment of money, with intent to defraud the Brighton Union Bank. The prisoner pleaded Guilty.—Sentence was deferred. Joseph Martin, a child, eight years old, was indicted for feloniously setting fire to a stack of corn, the pro perty of• Edmund Cruttenden. The circumstances of this case were similar to those that have been detailed on, several occasions during the present assize, in which children have been charged with offences of the same character. The prosecutor is farmer residing at Salehurst, in this county, and on the day mentioned in the indictment, one of his stacks was discovered to be on fire. Suspicion fell upon the pri soner, and on his being taken into custody and ques tioned by the proselutor, he admitted that he had thrust a lighted lucifer match into the stack, in order that he might see a good fire. It appeared that before the little culprit made this statement, theprosecutor had promised him he would forgive him if he told the truth. Mr. Baron PARKE said that under these circumstances the confession could not legally be received in evidence, and as there was nothing else to support the charge, the prisoner was entitled to his acquittal. The jury accordingly returned a verdict of Not Guilty, and Mr. Baron PARKE desired that the prisoner should be immediately placed in the charge of his father, who was waiting to receive him. TUESDAY. CROWN COURT.—Sarah Thomas, 39, described as a widow, and whose appearance betokened the deepest mental and bodily misery, was indicted for a misde meanour, in having unlawfully attempted to strangle herself. Mr. JOHNSON appeared for the prosecution, and ex plained the law bearing upon the charge against the prisoner, stating that every attempt to commit a felony amounted to a misdemeanour ; and inasmuch as if the prisoner had actually destroyed herself, if the jury be lieved she was at the time in a sane state of mind, it would have amounted to felony, and she was amenable to the present charge. • Fanny Goldsmith deposed that her husband kept a public-house at Warbleton, in this county. The prisoner resided in the same parish, and she had known her fur several mmths, and, during the last six or seven weeks, she had been in an almost destitute condition, and wit ness observed that she appeared in a very low and de sponding state, and frequently expressed her fear to wit ness that she should be compelled to go into the union workhouse. The prisoner was a widow. She had eight children dependent upon her, the youngest being only three years old. The prisoner had received relief from the parish, but, about thirteen weeks before this occur rence took place, it had been stopped, and she had no other means of maintaining herself . than by her own labour, and she was in a very distressed condition. On the day mentioned in the indictment, in consequence of some information she received, witness went to the de fendant's house, and saw her sitting on a chair, ap parently in a fainting state. She recovered a little, and said to witness —" I hope your mind will never suffer as mi ne does.' Wit ness went away, and returned in a short time, and then found the prisoner insensible. Water was flowing from her mouth, and she was black in the face ; her limbs ap peared to be stiffening, and her throat was swollen. ller cap-string was tied very tight round her neck, and the prisoner's daughter cut it, upon which she appeared to revive a little. Witness spoke to her, and reasoned with her upon the awfulness of self-destruction, and she re plied, "If your mind was the same as mine, you would do as I did ;" and she added that starvation had caused her to attempt to destroy herself. By the COURT—Witness was aware that the defen dant was in a very destitute state. She had known the prisoner to have fits of absence of mind, but had only observed that this was the case latterly. Moses Bourne said he had known the defendant some time, and had been employed to watch her. He had frequently seen her act like a crazy woman. The defendant, on being called upon for her defence, said she was very much troubled in her head, and did not at times know what she was about. • A sister of the defendant was examined, and she con firmed the statement of her sister, and added that she was always considered to be affected in her head. Mr. Baron PARKE then addressed the jury, and ob served that it appeared clear from the evidence, the de fendant had made an attempt upon her life, and the only question appeared to be, whether at the time she did so she was in such a state of mind as to render her account able for her actions. It was clear that she was in a state of great distress, and if the jury believed that from that or any other cause her mind was affected, and that she was not responsible for her acts, it would be their duty to acquit her on that ground. The jury, after deliberating for a short time, expressed a desire to know why the parish had discontinued giving relief to the defendant. Mr. Baron PARKE said this formed no part of the case, and they had no right to inquire into it. The jury then returned a verdict of Not Guilty, on the ground of insanity, and the defendant was ordered to be taken care of during her Majesty's pleasure. NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—lpswich, July 29. SENTENCES ON THE PRISONERS FOR ARSON. About four o'clock Mr. Justice Williams took his seal in the Crown Court beside Mr. Baron Alderson. The concluding business of the assize, namely, that of sentencing those prisoners who had been convicted of arson. &e., was then commenced. The prisoners being placed at the bar, Mr. Baron ALDERSON said, they were called up to receive the pu nishment their particular offences required to be awarded for their several crimes. His Learned Brother and him ielf had together examined their casea, and weighed well what punishment ought to be awarded in their ~everal instances ; and he was called upon to pass sen tence upon those convicted in his Court. and his Learned Brother upon those tried in his—for they were anxious in this instance, that all the sentences should be passed in the same Court, to act as a warning upon others. He wished to address a few words to them upon their awful situation ; and he would to God he could be heard by all thoie who had been carrying ruin • and desolation into the different homesteads, that it might act as a warning to them, and that they might desist from their evil practices, for, depend upon it, retribution, though slow, was sure ; in their cases it had already come, probably those who had yet escaped would soon receive their punishment ; if not in this world, they would be sure to do so in the world to come. They had some of them done the deeds for which they had been convicted : in the darkness of the night they, had thought themselves safe, and yet here they were. What, profit had they received here from the foul deeds they had committed ? The perpetrators of other crimes, indeed, had at least some miserable palliations to offer ; but what pleasure or profit, he would ask them, could they receive by committing such diaboliCal acts ? Did they gain anything ? Was it a pleasure to them.to see their master's property burned, their children ruined, and their homesteads destroyed ? or to see the unoffending animals perish, the horse in its stable, the faithful dog in its kennel ? Did they not think these things would rise up in judgment against them at God's awful ;tribunal ? He beseeched them to think of these things whilst life remained to them to do so ; but in this world they must abide their punish ment, and it would be a very severe one. Many thought transportation a light punishment.; . they were fear fully deceived, it was a punishment that made his blood run cold to think of e it was, however, the punishment they would have to undergo ; they would be exiled from their country and friends all their lives ; they would have to go into a country inhabited solely by felons, and in their society they would have to mix, and that would be the hell upon earth they would have to undergo. It was his bounden duty to tell them it was a very, • very heavy sentence, and an awful punish ment. You, Samuel Jacob, and you, Martin Turner, have been convicted of setting fire to your master's pre mises ; you, Edward Botwright, have been convicted upon two indictments, charging you with setting fire to farming premises, and also with sending a threatening letter to Mr. Robert Watling, threatening to kill him and fire his premises. You, Frederick - Borley, were tried at the last assizes, and escaped on a point of law ; but it has not acting as a warning upon you. You, James Lankester, have been going about the country in a state 'of vagrancy, using inflaming language and finishing your course of crime by committing the act for which you have been tried. The sentence of the Court upon each and every one of you is, that you be trans ported beyond the seas 'for the term of your natural lives. You, Robert Hammond, have been convicted upon two charges of arson, though not of the same mag nitude as those of the others. The sentence of the Court is, therefore, upon you, that you be transported for 'the term of 20 years. Mr. Justice WlLLaams, in sentencing James Mackles field, said :—The circumstances attending your case, James . Macklesfield, leave no doubt of the motives which induced you to commit the crime of which you are convicted were deliberated and long cherished revenge, and, in consequence, have in volved in ruin not only . the farming property, but you have entailed a frightful loss of animal life. Without entering into detail, no less than 200 unof fending animals fell victims to your crime. Also the in veteracy manifested by you after committing the act, from the demonstrative hardness mid settled malignity of your heart, render it in vain for me, after hearing the sentences passed by my Learned Brother, to think of passing a lighter one upon you. The sentence of the Court is, that you be transported for life. The Judge, in sentencing Isaac Everett, and Layzell Randall, said, The devastation occasioned by you Everett is little less than in the case of the last prisoner, for not only was farming property to a great amount destroyed, but several cottages were also burnt to the ground. It is impossible not to ob serve a difference in your conduct to that of yoUr compa nion, there is every reason to suppose from your greater age that you were the leader in this transaction. In your younger companion there was a compunction which led to a full confession on his part, which was the cause of your conviction. In times like the present, it is impos sible to pass the case of either of you without passing a sentence of great severity. The sentence of the Court is that you, Isaac Everett, be transported for 20 years, and' ou, Layzell Randall, for the term of 15 years. James Friend for sending a threatening letter to Mr. William Cockrell, was sentenced to fifteen years trans portation. Robert Grimwade for sending a threatening letter to Sir Joshua Rowley, was sentenced to ten years' trans portation." William Greengrass for a similar offmce, was sen tenced to two years' imprisonment and hard labour. George Davy was sentenced to three months' imprison inent and to be twice whipped. John Woods to six mouths imprisonment and once whipped, for setting fire to some furze bushes and un derwood. John Tills for burglary was sentenced to 10 years' transportation. Thomas King was bound over to find sureties for his appearance at the next assizes upon a charge of libel. OXFORD CIRCUIT.— Staford, July 29 . The commission for th e coun ty o f Stafford was opened here late on Saturd ay n i g h t by Lord Chief Justice . Tindal, and at 10 o'clock this morning business com menced in both courts, the Lord Chief Justice p iesidin g at Nisi Prins, and Mr. Sergeant Atcherly ou the Crown side. The civil business is extremely heavy. There are 27 causes for trial, and no less than 11 of these are set down to be tried by special juries. From w hat has al ready transpired, ho wever , it does not seem prob able that much matter of p u bli c i nteres t will arise on the civil side, the special jury cases w hi c h s tand high on the list relating chiefly to mining affairs. Among them is the case of " Hilton v. Earl Granville," which involves, as the report of the day is, a question affecting the right of the Crown to dig for minerals without paying for surface damage. Sir T. Wilde and Mr. Kelly are specially re tained in this case, which is expected to occupy three days, and, should the anticipated duration of the cause be realised by the event, all the subsequent special jury cases must be made remanets. The progress made with the common jury causes to day was considerable. Eight out of the 16 were dis posed of, but none of them furnished materials for a re port which would repay the trouble of perusal. On the Crown side the business was equally uninteresting, Mr. Sergeant Atcherley having been engaged during the whole of ire day in trying Mint prosecutions. The calendar is comparatively light for this eminently but the offences with w hi c h t h e y are charged are, as There are only 5 3 prisoners for trial , c u r s i u m a i l n , a o l f caoyuenr t y y* serious character. There are two cases of murder, one of rape, three of assaults with intent, &c., five of cutting and wounding, one of manslaughter, two of arson, four of highway ro bbery, and two of burglary. These will furnish abundant occupation for Mr. Sergeant Atcherley during the week. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Exeter, July 29. Bill Williams, aged 14, and Charles Thompson, aged 12, were indicted for setting fire to a stack of hay at Awliscombe, the property of Robert Tucker, on the 29th of March. Mr. Rowe conducted the case for the prosecution. It appeared that on the morning of the 29th of March, about half-past 12 o'clock, the prisoners called upon the prosecutor and asked him to give them a log of wood to strike a ball. The prosecutor refused to give it them, and said they ought to go to work. They said they could not get any. He said he would give them work, to pick up stones by the side of the river. They said they durst say he would give them a farthing a-load. He then told them they were impudent young fellows, and if they did not go away he would put a stick about their backs. They then went away in a direction towards the hayrick. They were shortly afterwards seen near the field in which the rick was. Williams got over the gate into the field and Thompson sat upon the gate. In a few minutes Williams came back and they both ran away, and im mediately afterwards hcitahme i r n ie d k o wa h s ay s e ee a n fla t r o e be in flames.

INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) ma n, named David S cott , o f respec t a bl e s t a tion as a trad esman i n t h e Ci ty o f MANSION-HOUSE. characterA nelderly and London, appeared be fore Sir Peter Laurie and Sir G. Carroll upon an i nformation, char ging him with having knowingly permit ted, and suffered to be harboured , kept , and concealed on his premises, twelve pair of men's boots and twenty pair of women's shoes of French manu facture, amounting together to the value of 211. 9s. 6d., upon which the duties had not been paid. A gentleman attended from the office of the Solicitor to the Customs for the prosecution, and Mr. Hobler ap peared for the defendant, who all through the examina tion vehemently declared that he was guiltless. The penalties sought amounted to 641. Bs. 7d. Coleby A. Davis, an officer of the Customs, stated that on Saturday, 13th of July, he went, in consequence of having received information resp ec ti ng smugg l e d goods, into the ho use, No. 20, F ish-street-hill, belonging to the defendant, a bread and biscuit baker. Ile found the defendant in the shop, and said he called on account of that information. The defendant denied that he had any smuggled goods, and witness said if he did not give them up quietly, assistance should be got and the whole of the premises should be searched, which would no doubt be unpleasant to him. Witness also said the smuggled goods, which consisted of French boots and shoes, were in a flour bin on the right hand side of the shop, and that there were four large paper packages and a basket there. Miss Scott, the daughter of the de fendant, then said "they are here father." Witness then went straight to the bin, and took out the parcels. The Solicitor to the Customs—Did you observe any thing remarkable in Mr. Scott's appearance upon being addressed in such language ? Witness—He first coloured in the face, and afterwards he grew quite pale. Mr. Hobler—From whom had you your information ? Witness—l shall not say from whom. Mr. Hobler declared that the whole was a base and outrageous plant, and that Mr. Scott had no more to do with smuggling than the most complete stranger to the neighbourhood. Edward Patteson; also a Custom-house officer, stated that he had been told to keep a look out on the baker's sbop in Fish-street-hill, and he saw Mr. Scott enter the house a few minutes before the list witness went in. Mr. Hobler—Did you ever watch the house before ? Witness—Never. An appraiser of the Customs valued the boots and shoes at 211. 9s. 6d., and stated that the duty amounted to 41. 7s. 6d. Mr. nobler said that Mr. Scott was a most respectable man,'who never entertained a thought of meddling with contraband matters, but as he was dealt with by the captains of steamers he was in the habit of allowing persons to leave parcels in his shop, from a principle of affording accommodation to the public. He had premises elsewhere, and permitted his daughter to attend to the business at Fish-street-hill, and he was wholly ignorant that the parcels which had been left that morning in the bin by a person who walked in and unceremoniously de posited them there were in the house at all until his daughter informed him. Mr. nobler then called Miss Scott. Sir P. LAURIE suggested that the examination of Miss Scott might, under the circumstances, be a very dan- gerous experiment. Mr. Hobler said that he produced the young lady as the witness to the truth, and he could feel not the slightest hesitation upon the subject. The defendant requested that his daughter's evidence might be taken. Sir PETER—Very well. I was only desirous to pre vent the hazard which the lady may run in the cross examination. The defendant it is admitted does busi ness with the steamer which had between this country and France, and must understand perfectly well that the most extensive smuggling of all kinds is continually taking place by means of such intercommunication ; and yet he allows strangers the remarkable facilities of a bin in his shop to put away whatever they may consider to be in danger from the keen eye of the revenue officer. It is against common sense to suppose that he was igno rant of the fact. Miss Emma Scott was then sworn and examined— She stated that she conducted the business of the shop in Fish-street-hill fur her father. On the morning of Saturday, the 13th of July, a person entered the shop and asked permission to leave a parcel, She did not know the person, and she made no answer. He put it down in the bin, the place in which parcels were usually deposited, and which was public and open. It was a constant practice. Some time afterwards the defendant entered, and was soon followed by the first Custom house officer who had given evidence. Sir P. LAURIE—You say that you accommodate per sons whom you do not know as well as persons whom you do know by allowing them to leave whatever goods they please in your shop. Suppose a person took the liberty of committing a robbery, would you allow him to 'deposit the stolen property in your bin.? Witness — They are persons of respectability who come to be ac commodated, and we never had the Slightest suspicion of them. The Solicitor to the Customs—Pray, is the Venezuela amongst the steam-vessels which you supply ? Witness (after a little hesitation)—Yes, I believe so. The Solicitor to the Customs—Have you seen the steward of that vessel since ? Witness—Yes, he came to order some bread. The Solicitor to the Customs—Did any conversation take place between you respecting this subject ? Wit ness (again hesitating)—When the steward came to order the bread, I said that some packages had been left at the house in his name. _ - _ Sir PETER LAURIE—I think it is better not to pro ceed in this way ; my mind is made up on the subject. If Mr. Hobler objects to our decision, he can appeal against it. Mr. nobler submitted that the case was not at all proved, and declared that if the charge was one of rob bery, such evidence of guilty knowledge would be ridi culed as weak and futile. There were some most re spectable men in Court who could prove that it was the constant practice of the shopkeeping residents of the neighbourhood to allow persons .to leave goods tempo rarily on their premises. Sir PETER LAURIE—I don't at all doubt that.— (Laughter.) It is that most dangerous facility of which I complain. The steam-vessels require exactly that sort of accommodation, and I dare say they obtain it ex tensively enough. Mr. Hobler—l am convinced that my client is the victim of a plant upon this occasion. The Solicitor to the Customs indignantly repelled the accusation, and assured the Magistrates that the officers who had been examined received the information from which they had acted from two other officers, who had it from another authority. Mr. llobler intimated that he did not mean to charge the two officers who had been examined, and who might have been entirely ignorant of that plant at the same time that they were made instrumental to its infliction. C. A. Davis, the Custom-house officer, asserted that several houses in the neighbourhood gave accommoda tion of a similar kind to smugglers. (Here there was much disapprobation expressed by several persons who positively denied the truth of the statement.) Sir PETER LAURIE—If the magistrates sanction such facilities as this baker's shop has no doubt been affording to the smuggler, we shall have corners in every shop con veniently situate, fitted up as depositories of contraband articles. My brother Magistrate and I consider the case proved, but we shall inflict only a third of the penalty, as it is a case in which we recommend leniency to the Com missioners. We think it necessary to repeat, that the practice of giving such accommodation must be put an end to, and we advise the active officers of the revenue to pay visits to other shops as well as to bakers' shops. BOW-STREET. Yesterday, summonses which were granted against several persons for riots and assaults committed on a pier belonging to Mr. Francis, at the end of Essex-street, Strand, being made returnable, the court was crowded with a number of lightermen, watermen, and several of the Thames police, with persons residing in the neigh bourhood, who had for some time suffered the greatest annoyance from the uproar and confusion continually occurring in the locality, in defiance of a strong body of police, who were constantly in attendance. The case seemed to excite much interest. Mr. Twy ford consented to have the defendants called on con siderably earlier than the usual hour of disposing of assault summonses, and shortly after one o'clock Wil liam Irish, George Everard, James Everard, John Rut land, and Wiliam Reeves, all of whom appeared to be persons employed on and about the river, were placed at the bar, charged, at the instance of Henry Maynard, with having, on the morning of the 26th inst., violently assaulted him, to which they severally pleaded not guilty. Mr. Bodkin attended, on the part of the Watermen's Company, to prefer the complaint ; and Mr. Child ap peared for the defendants, some of whom carried broken shovels, hammers, crowbars, and other articles, to exhibit to the court if necessary. Mr. Bodkin said it struck him that the ease would resolve itself into a much more serious charge than a common assault, to be punished in a summary manner, and if he was borne out in the evidence, as lie thought he should, that it was deserving of the consideration of a superior tribunal, he should apply to the Court to send the case before a jury. The misunderstanding arose re specting property belonging to Mr. Francis, who owned a floating-pier at the end of Essex-street, in front of his premises, which, for a considerable time, has been found to be of the greatest convenience to the public. He un derstood that the pier was made upon a culvert, or brick sewer, under the jurisdiction of the Commissioners, who would, at a future time, take steps against the offending parties. On the day in question the defendants came at an unusually early hour to destroy the works erected by Mr. Francis, which, being taken notice of by two or three men left in charge, they were opposed by above thirty persons, who succeeded in destroying the bridge, during which assaults were committed,. in addition to a serious riot and confusion which ensued, to the annoy ance of several respectable inhabitants in the neighbDur hood, who were present to give evidence and had not a person who happened to be present guarded off the blow levelled at the head of a man in the service of Mr. Francis, the consequence would have been of a very alarming character. He would call witnesses to prove the facts, and then apply to have the defendants held to bail for the purpose of subjecting them to be indicted. Henry Maynard, who had his arm in a sling, in con sequence of the wounds he received, stated that, being in the service of Mr. Francis, he was placed on Thursday at the top of Essex-street, for the purpose of protecting the bridge, which occupies one half of the steps. About three o'clock in the morning he was called by Charles hill to the upper part of the pier, where he saw the de fendants, with about thirty others, some of whom were then in court. (The witness here pointed out Henry Collins, who was instantly . placed at the bar.) Several , of them came from Execution Dock, and when he came up they were breaking down the steps at the pier. He addressed Rutland first, and said he thought he was more interested in the works than to act in such a man ner, when he instantly struck him on the breast, after driving him from the gate, saying he would attend to his own interests before those ot " old Francis." The next assault he received was from Win. Reeves, who struck him three blows, merely because he was protect ing his master's property, while Geo. Everard held him by the throat to enable James Everard, assisted by Irish, to fell hiin to the ground, where he received several kicks from Geo. Everard ; and when he called Hill to protect him, they threatened to do for him if he attempted to approach. They at length succeeded in tearing up the platform and destroying it. The defendant George Everard held a crowbar, with which he aimed a blow at witness which struck him in the mouth, and had the blow not been warded off by a'young man who was pre sent, he would have received a very serious injury. After he was repeatedly assaulted by a men named Fitz gerald, and Reeve told him they were paid for what they had done, and if he would pay them they would build up the works again. Richard Everard repeatedly said ho belonged to the Woolwich Company, the boats of which stop at the next pier. Charles Hill, after confirming the statement of the last witness respecting the assaults and riot, said that on Monday week it was agreed, in the presence of Inspector Lewis, of the Thames Police, that his master should in future make use of half the way without interruption. By Mr. Bodkin—The stage had been equally divided when the defendants came to knock it down. Mr. TWYFORD observed that, in provitg the assault, the witnesses seemed inclined, to speak as to the right of way. Mr. Child replied that both parties claimed the right, although neither had any authority granted to them by the Navigation Company. Mr. TWYFORD thought it would serve a general pur pose to call upon the defendants to put in bail to answer the charge of assault at the sessions. Mr. Child hoped that, as the defendants were merely engaged in a disputed right of way, their own recogm sauces would be sufficient. Mr. TWrFORD said he would require them to: put in bail, themselves in 201. each and two sureties in 101. each, to answer the charge at the sessions. Mr. Bodkin observed, that if the men were hired, and there was no reason to doubt it, the' persons who had employed them ought to come forward and offer them selves as sureties. The defendants were immediately provided with the required sureties, and they were discharged. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday a man named Richard Cole, a well-known character in the neighbourhood, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with cutting and maiming, with intent to kill, Mr. Joseph Gill, the landlord of the George the Fourth public-house, in Old-street-road. The prosecutor, who had his head bandaged, and was evidently in a very weak state, said that the prisoner used formerly to frequent his house as a customer; but, in consec l uence of his grossly misconducting himself whenever he ct.me there, he had forbidden him his house about six months ago, since which he had seen nothing of him until about eleven o'clock on Wednesday night, the 17th instant,. when he again entered the place and began to assail him in the most abominable language. Witness, who was behind his bar, requested him several times to desist from his annoyance and to leave the house, but the prisoner refused to do either ; and on witness telling him that he would put him out if he did not peaceably leave, the prisoner exclaimed, " Then, if you attempt to put me out, you b-, I'll muzzle you." Witness went to the door for a policeman, but could not find one, and on his coming back again, the tpri soner told him he would make as much row as he liked, continued his threatening language, and thrust his face into the witness's several times in the most insult- ing manner. Witness remonstrated with the prisoner upon his scandalous conduct, upon which the prisoner cried out, " B—t you, I'll do for you," and got hold of a large pewter water jug, but the witness being for tunate enough to seize the handle of it, after a severe struggle with the prisoner, he succeeded in wrenching it from him. Thus thwarted of his purpose, the prisoner rushed down the counter to where two quart pots were standing near the beer-engine, and, possessing himself of both of them, flung them, one after the other, with all his force at the witness's head, but witness provi dentially escaped them both, the pots smashing a quan tity of glass at the back of the bar. The prisoner, burst ing with rage, then swore that he would settle him, and seizing a large thick glass tumbler, hurled that also with all his strength at the witness's head, and the glass catching him just on the top of his forehead, was shivered into fragments. The blood gushed out profusely, and the witness, who was staggering from the force of the blow, was only saved from falling by his barmaid, who was near at the time, and supported him till assistance arrived. The witness was insensible for more than an hour, and, although the occurrence took place neatly a fortnight ago, was still' under surgical treatment. The instant the prisoner had thrown the glass, he exclaimed, " D—n you, I've done for you now," in a triumphant tone, and ran out of the house. Eliza Adams, the barmaid, fully corroborated her mas ter's testimony, and detailed in addition many other aggravating circumstances. Mr. Alfred Middleton, of Finsbury-squa the surgeon who attended the prosecutor, described th nature of the wound, which he said was of a very dangerous descrip tion, and had laid the scull bare for a considerable distance. Milgate, a policeman, who had been in search of the prisoner for four days, was at last informed that he was at a brothel in the Vinegar-ground, in the City-road, and, on going there, found him, and took him into cus tody. The prisoner was in bed at the time, and on telling him what he took him for, the prisoner said, with great bitterness, "I wish I had killed the b— right out." Mr. BINGH All asked him if he wished to say anything? The prisoner sullenly said—No, I shall reserve what I have to say for my trial ; but a good deal of what bas been stated is false. Mr. BINGHAM said that the case had been very clearly established, and fully committed the prisoner to Newgate for trial. _ _ HERRING FISHERY• BERW/CK.—The take of herrings this week has been very good, averaging about four crans a boat each day; but some boats have had as high as eight or nine crams.. This morning, however, the take is very poor—highest. boat three trans: and the fishermen think that the night. was too smooth to have a good fishing. Prices are about 13s. to 14s. per cran. Many boats are now out each. night. Ttliameth.er night we saw about 100 boats near our harbour, and I.lak4 ) cene is most animating. As yet no strange curers are he b raLand the French vessels might be supplied next week, •itt..all probability, at a. moderate rate, as the tides are beginning to set in when. the fish will multiply. • NORTH SUNDERLAND.--The fishing of the preseqat week has been a little better than the last. Some few boats went off on Monday night, and returned on Tues day morning with a few hundreds, On Wednesday some two or three boats had each from two to ten barrels, and some quite clean. Prices, 275. per barrel. It is expected there will be a general trial to-night (Wednes .clay),and it is anticipated there will be a good take, as there is a good appearance on the coast. No boats are yet engaged to any Of - tlieWrers 'and only three Yar mouth luggers have as yet arrived to buy herring's. If, therefore, herrings should be plentiful, prices are tied to be very low. DUNBAR.—Since our last report the herring fishing has been rather improving upon the whole. On Thurs day the boats ranged from three to six crans. The fish are of excellent quality, and are principally purchased by the cadgers, none of the curers having commenced. Indeed, from the great take on the west coast, and the quantities already shipped to the Continent from the Lewis Islands, curing (unless the fish are very cheap) is considered to be anything but a safe speculation.—Bre wick Warder. ABERDEEN, JULY 25.—The fishing here for last week, as was stated before, was very poor. The Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday's fishing this week has been, attended with ratherimore success, the boats generally returning with an average of 1 to 2-1 crans. As the nights are now getting darker there is every reason to hope that the returns will be much greater during the course of next week. BANFF, JULY 22.—The fishing during the last week was not so good as during the previous week, which was partly to be attributed to stormy weather ; but as the weather is now settled, there will be a general turn out of all the boats to-night. The contract price for fresh herrings has declined ; and several boats at Fraserburgh have been engaged at Bs. 6d. the cran, in full, and, in, some instances, even less money has been accepted. The foreign letters received this morning mention further arrivals of Lewis herrings, which could, with difficulty, be sold to leave about 10s. to lls. the barrel, according to quality. PETERHEAD, JULY 24.—Our herring fishery is now fully commenced ; the number of boats is 417, being nearly 50 more than last year ; the average take up to this date being nine crans, this day's fishing alone being seven crans. MOVEMENTS OF IIIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE DE JOINVILLE. A letter received at Lloyd's from their agent at Gib raltar, states that his Royal Highness appeared off Tan gier with his squadron on the 18th instant, but returned immediately to Cadiz on finding that the English ships, Caledonia and Albion, had withdrawn from the port of Tangier. SPEED OF THE THAMES-BUILT STEAMERS.—On Monday last a trial of speed took place between the Prince of Wales Margate steam-vessel and the last new vessel for the Folkestone station, the Princess Maud_ The Prince of Wales was on her passage to Margate, and on 'reaching Gravesend was chall e nged by the Princess'Maud, which was waiting for her there, all prepared. Both vessels started fairly, and the run was continued nearly to the Nore, when the Princess Maud relinquished the contest. At this moment, and in a run of an hour and a quarter, the Prince of Wales had. left her competitor a full mile-and-a-half astern. The Prince of Wales had 200 passengers on board, and her awning set. The Princess Maud had on board only from twenty to thirty persons. This is the third unsuc cessful attempt within the last fourteen months to out strip the Prince of Wales with the new vessels built for the Folkestone station ; and it is but justice to her . builders, Miller, Ravenhill, and Co., of Blackwall, to state that the engines of the Prince of Wales are a pair of beam-engines, constructed by them about six years since, and transferred in the spring of last year from the Royal George into the present iron vessel, the Prince of Wales; while, at the same time, it affords a proof of the - advantage that might be deri ve d f rom a s kilf u l a d aptat i on of such excellent and durabl e mac hi nery. Th e M eteor , a a n v e e w n hi i r l ' 1 ) , n v n e d Co., s sebuilt thise Messrs. b '' ' P ta r ringarbayvesondcorap Mi a ll n e y r : is another remakable instance of speed. Her engines are a pair of beam engines, made by them for the Planet, nine years since, and she is equalled in speed only by the Prince of Wales. On the same day of her race with the Prince of Wales, the Princess Maud twice entered lists with the Meteor ; the first time early in the morning, and the second time at ten o'clock, when the Meteor had 500 passengers on board, and on both occa sions the Princess Maud was beaten. The Meteor is, unquestionably, the pride of the Thames. Go where you may, she is acknowledged the swiftest boat on the station, and echo replies—" It will be some time before she has an equal."

George Lawson, residing in Charles-street, Bagnigge Wells-road, was charged with wounding Frances Law son, his wife, whereby her life is seriously endangered. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner, who is a man of drunken habits and savage disposition, was presiding at some society having benevolence for its professed object, in the Fox and French Horn beer-shop, in Clerkenwell-green, on Sunday night last. Having drank a good deal, he fell asleep in the tap-room, with his head reclining on the table. his wife, who was like wise under the influence of liquor, came in and asked him for money. He did not hear, her, upon which she seized him by the arm and shook him. He im mediately jumped up with a long pipe in his hand ; angry words ensued, and the prisoner thrust the shank of the pipe into her right eye. The thrust was made with such violence that the shank penetrated into her head one inch and a half, and was broken across in the eye, about the eighth of an inch protruding. The woman fell, and bled so profusely, that there was a pool of blood on the floor of the tap room. Police-constable 242 G was called in, but he was so shocked at the woman's appearance, that he fainted, and was carried out of the room in a state of insensibi lity. The prisoner, taking advantage of the condition of the officer, and without attempting to administer the slightest assistance to his agonised wife, ran away and was not arrested until Monday night, when Doyle, 197 G, arrested him in Maiden-lane, Islington. The prose cutor was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, bleeding all the way thither. The house surgeon con sidered her life in imminent danger, and she still lies there dangerously ill. The prisoner, who evinced the utmost indifference at his wife's condition, was remanded for a week, but sub sequently admitted to bail. UNION-HALL. - - - - - - Yesterday James Buckley, Catherine, his wife, Edward Haynes, Bridget Brown, Caroline Wigzel, and Mary Quin, were charged with stealing a cash-box, containing gold, silver, and Bank notes, to the value of 1801, the property of Mr. Conolly, a newsvender, residing near the station of the Greenwich Railway, at London-bridge. About three or four months since the prosecutor, Mr. Conolly, was robbed of a cash-box containing gold and notes of the value as stated above. At the period of the robbery the prisoner Brown was in the service of Mr. Conolly, as a domestic servant, and from circumstances which came to his knowledge, he suspected that the rob bery was committed by Brow n, but could not bring it home to her for want of sufficient testimony. Brown was BN related t i t l o e the hab t prisoner o f vivisiting n N g V iagtz herel' s house,and "l wife by marriage, ; n Russell co ur t, Drury-lane.charing Buckley w as at the period an in patient of Charing-cross Hospital ; but it appears that ma t e terms, visiting each other daily. A policeman, in the prisoner Brown and Mrs. Buc k le y were on very intl.- private clothes, was s e t to watch the e motions of Brow n , and he proceeded to t he home of Wigzel, where M rs. Buckley was staying , and questioned her respecting the robbery, but failed to elicit any evidence rel a ti ve to the cash-box. Nothing further was heard of th e transact i on until about a fortnight ago, when Mary Quin was charged at Bow -street Police-co ur t, o n suspicion of having one of the st o l en notes in her possession, which note she said was g i ven to her by her mistress, English Miss Harrison, who k ee p s a c i gar-s h op adjoining the Opera-ho use . Th e note was a Bank of England note, of the value of 5/. The note was identified by Mr. Conolly, as having been stolen from hi s cash-box. Miss Harrison, on - being requested to s i v t ie frome of i e s s prisoner Harrison Mrs.ab acc ount for the possession of th e note, said that she re oluArti g fo z u el r . d a Q y s u Quin previousha had left l e t f o t re ceivedthe v ei this latter occurrence, and was th e n staying at the house of the prisoner Wigzel. From informatio given to the police, they proceeded to the house of Wigtel, and after searching the house, two large boxes containing a quantity of wea r i ng appare l, b e d- t i c k s , t a bl e - covers , and linen, were discovered, supposed to be the produce of the robbery, which were taken possession of by the police, and the prisoners given into custody.
