TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. sm,—it is stated in your observations on the conviction of Mr. Bradshaw;- at Gravesend, for fol - lowing his ordinary occupation on the Lord's-day, that the puritanical justice fined the defendant ss. and costs. In awarding costs it appears to me that his Worship exceeded his authority. The Act of 29th Car. 11., cap. 7, under which I presume the con viction took place, does not give power to leiry costs ; • and the statute . of the 18th Geo. 111., cap. 19, autho rising magistrates to award costs under summary convictions, does not apply to this case, as under that • Act the costs are directed to be paid to tbe" party , injured," and. I think it would puzzle even the wise Mr. ClakPs to point out the party who was injured in -Mi. Braashaw's case. In all future convictions under the statute of Charles, I would recommend the defendants to pay the penalty, and leave the !Innis trste•and.informer to recover their costs as-they can. When these officious gentry discover that they can na longer indulge in their hypocritical and silly cru sade, except at their own expense, they will perhaps be somewhat less officious in interfering with the purstf:ts of their neighbours.

The Coroner overruled such decision, • and ordered a post mortem examination to be made by • Mr. Edwards. That gentleman having made it, stated yesterday that he found most extensive organic disease of the heart and lungs, which might have produced death. To be more certain he examined the stomach, and detected the smell of hydrocyanic acid, as did also . the other medical gentlemen who were with him. If de ceased did not die of the organic disease found to exist, the smallest dose of hydrocyanic acid taken even medi cinally, would, in conjunction with the effects of the dis ease he laboured under, cause prompt dissolution.

NATIONAL BANQUET TO MR. O'CONNELL. DUBLIN, SEPT. I2.—The dinner to Mr. O'Con nell and his late fellow-prisoners, is to take place at the Music-hall, Abbey-street, on Thursday, the 19th instant. William Smith O'Brien, M.P., is to preside. The entertainment will be upon a splendid scale. Already several hundred tickets have been issued, many of them to gentlemen residing in distant parts of the country. Most of the mayors and leading members of the Irish corporations are to attend. The Roman Catholic prelates have been invited, and it is stated that invitations will also be forwarded to the Earl of Shrewsbury, the Earl of Miltown, Lords Stourton and Ffrench, Mr. T. buncombe, M.l'., Mr. Serle (br o th er -i n -l aw to t h e E ar l of Shrewsbury), and Mr. Joseph Sturge, of Birmingham. POPULAR REJOICINGS. The provincial papers received this morning con tain additional accounts of public rejoicings for the release of Mr. O'Connell. No public event ever pro duced more general joy. In the remotest districts • the people regard the reversal of the judgment as a great triumph for themselves, and they rejoice ac cordingly. LORD FORTESCITE.—At Somerville, in this county, the house of this nobleman was illuminated on Friday night, awl the noble Lord himself caused a large bonfire to he lighted ! This is another sign of the times.— Waterford Chronicle. THE ARMY FORTIFICATIONS. LIMERICK, WEDNESDAY.—Major- General Lord Downes will embark to-morrow, in the Flamer, Com mander Pestle, to inspect the fortifications in the river, and to visit th e Cy c l ops s t eam - s hi p, C apta i n Lanidge, at Tarbert. Captain Gierson's company of ' the 15th Regiment left this yesterday for Caber Castle, with Lieutenant Wilkinson and Ensign Walmsley, to be there stationed, in relief of Captain Clarke's company, 77th, which returns to Clonmel. Four companies of the 15th Regiment in this garri son are held in readiness for country detachment, it is supposed to replace an equal force of the 30th. FRIGHTFUL CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA. The Castlebar Telegraph contains the following melancholy statement :—About three months ago boy named Michael Colerare, aged twelve:years, and = son to a tenant of George Moon, Esq., Moore Hall, went out to herd some sheep that were grazing in his father's field at Millerhill, near the abbey of Ballin tubber On getting into the field, the boy perceived a large dog attacking a sheep ; he went to drive it off, but the dog, which was raging mad, flew at, and bit him in the hand. The boy immediately ran home . and told his mother of the occurrence. She being under the impression that sea-bath;ng would prevent any evil consequences, brought him without delay to the salt water, and besides making him bathe, causal him to drink of it plentifully. At length, the wound on his hand being healed, both the boy and his mother returned home. There were no symptoms of any bad effects from the bite until last Sunday week, when the boy, while attending mass at the Abbey of Ballintubber, suddenly felt a thrilling sensation run from his hand to the shoulder, _ as if lie had struck his elbow against the wall. The painful thrill continued to extend until it had soon spread itself over his entire frame. The boy • became conscious himself that he was in fected by hydrophobia ; yet he was at intervals col lected in his intellect, during which time he received from the Rev. E. O'Malley the sacrament of confes sion. He told the clergyman that he could not en dure the appearance of any liquid, that his chest was _internally burning with a fierce heat; but that if a wheaten straw were got, and one end of it immersed in a vessel of water concealed from his view, he might Contrive to drink it through the tube of the straw. This was accordingly prepared ; but each drop of the liquid he imbibed was received (judging by the heavy agitation of his chest) as if it had been burning lead. Excepting the convulsed horror he evinced on the 1.. appearance or idea of any liquid, he continued sen sible for a long time, and told his mother that he was aware he would soon die ; that he would get violent, . and to tie him, lest he should do any injury,, but not to bleed him to death, as had been done in the village about twelve months previously to another person affected with hydrophobia. At length the madness • teached its crisis, black froth and curdled blood foamed from his mouth, and he died in an awful paroxysm of violence and excitement." THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING . , SEPTIMBER 16, 1844. THE FRENCH IN ALGERIA. ORAN, Auc. 20.—The expeditionary column of the French army is still at Ouehda, the frontier town of Morocco on the north-east ; Marshal Bugeaud, who commands this column, is still there. No events of im portance have transpired since I last wrote to you. The total f,rce of the Marshal's column is 501 officers, 12,490 men, 3,824 horses, and 1,365 mules. This includes the whole of the two regiments of cavalry which have been so long arriving. I think these two regiments were six weeks getting from P o rt Vendres to Oran. With this force it is quite impossible the Marshal can march to Fez ; and if no reinforcements arrive, the Marshal will with great difficulty be able to maintain his present posi tion, with his sick daily and hourly increasing. There are, however, besides, the camps of Sebdon, Lalla Maghrania, and Geinmaa-el-Ghazaouat, which alto gether could muster perhaps 25,000 or 26,000 men ; but troops cannot be drawn from those places without leaving the country exposed and defenceless. A proof of which is, that a few days ago the poor Arabs‘Who had been razziaed near Sebdon, like so many famished wolves, came down and fell upon 50 French soldiers who were pasturing sheep and bullocks, killed. 15, wounded the rest, and carried off the booty. None can deny the justice of this retribution. It was not the rob bers robbed, but the spoilers spoiled righteously. Not withstanding the small number of the expeditionary co lumn, it is confidently reported " that the Marshal will proceid to Fez in October," but of course with the ne cessary reinforeA.ments. First of all, however, Marshal 139;4 - eae<l will return to Algiers to attend to the civil af fairy of the colony. The new Directeur de l'lnterieur arrived here yesterday, on his way to visit, or meet, the Marshal. Some important measures are about to be taken for the improvement of the civil affairs of the co lony, which are now, and always have been, in a very bad state. (HOW to LIVE on NINE SHILLINGS A WEEK. ' E .very man's income is limited more or less ; and he must limit his expenditure accordingly. Thus, he may be forced to content himself with a house of a rent not exceeding 2,0001. a year, with no greater number of servants than a dozen, with six horses and no more; with but two carriages ; with turtle, venison, champagne, and burgundy, only now and then ; with a middling box at the Opera, and so on. 9s. a week is a decidedly limited income:- To live upon it a man must first cut down his expenditure to the fewest possible branches, and secondly, apply the closest shaving to each. They can hardly be reduced below three—food, clothes, and lodging ; but if anybody could do without one of these, the difficulty would be I much simplified. As to lodging. The cheapest to be had must be chosen : the more unpleasant the situa tion the better, as the rent will then be more reason able. A roadside hovel, or a ruir.ous old.house up a. court, may be recommended. .A single room, how ever small, must suffice for a whole family, however large. ChairS, tables, bedsteach, and other moveables, may be dispensed with; the entire furniture should consist of a few blankets and some straw ; and the blankets ought to be begged. Coals and candles are too expensive; and it is extravagant to have any fire at all, except to cook a few potatoes, or to avoid being frozen to death. With regard to clothes. Th ese must be obtained, if possible,. through charity; there is another way of getting them, which it would be hardly right to hint at. By a proper economy they may be made to last till they fall to pieces, which they will not altogether do for years. If it is neces sary to buy clothes, they moat be bought; but the purchase should only include indispensables. Shirts and stockings are superfluities ; and the younger children may always, and the whole family at times, manage to do without shoes. Food must be con fined, in general, to bread and potatoes; but perhaps, with managment, a little bacon may 'be indulged in now and then. It will be out 9f the question to think of any other drink than the plain water; and tea and sugar are luxuries not to be dreamt of. By following the above rules it is perhaps possible to live honestly orl 9s. a week, with a wife and family. Medical attendance is out of the question. What are called comforts must be considered unattainable; for any man, even though starving and perishing, tl, help himself to ,a meal, a handful of wood, or anything of the kind, is highly immoral; the law respects not persons but property, and severely visits such wicked ness.—Punch. The health of the civil population of this place is sa tisfactory enough ; but Algiers is in a very precarious state. Without great caution, people are suddenly seized with fevers—they know not why nor wherefore. It is a remarkable fact, however, that before the arrival of the French, disease, except the ordinary casualties of life, was almost unknown. It is certainly a well-ascer tained fact, that there is no such thing as periodic mala dies (as now in Algeria) in the neighbouring country of Morocco. In the moment of closing my letter I learnt that the Marshal has suspended hostilities on the frontier, and that something like a truce had been agreed upon be tween the son of the Emperor, Sidi Mohammed, and Marshal Bugeaud. This news was brought by the Co lonel of the Spahis and some Arabs. The Marshal will embark immediately at Gemmia-el- Ghazaouat for Oran, and may be expected here to• morrow or next day. We may imagine that the late defeat of the Moors, and the critical position of the Marshal at this season, have equally lead to this result of suspending hostilities. All the merchant-ships here are put in request for the carriage of provisions to the camp, via Gemmsa-el-Gha zaouat. A good number of the cavalry is to be quar tered near this place until the new operations, expected to commence again in October. Can the Arabs understand -a truce ? Will it not be soon broken ? PUNCH'S CHARGE TO JURIES. Gentlemen of the Jury,—You are sworn in all cases to decide according to the evidence; at the same time, if you have any doubt, you are bound to give the prisoner the benefit of it. Suppose you have to pronounce on the guilt or innocence of a gentle man accused of felony. You will naturally doubt whether any gentleman would commit such offences; accordingly, however strong may be the testimony against him, you will, perhaps, acquit him. The evidence of your own senses is r atleast, as credible as that of the witnesses ; if, - therefore, your eyesight convinces you that the prisoner is a well-dressed person, you have a right to presume his respectability; and it is fol. you to say whether a respectable person 'Would be likely to be guilty of the crimes imputed to him. In like manner, when you see a shabby-look ing fellow i n the dock, charged, for example, with sheep-stealing, the decision rests with you; first, whether or not that individual is a ragamuffin ; and, secondly, how far it is probable that a man of that description would steal sheep. Of course, as has been before said, you will always be guided by the evi dence ; but then, whether the evidence is trustworthy or not is a matter for your private consideration. You may believe it if you choose, or you may dis believe it; and whether, gentlemen of the jury, you will believe it of disbelieve it, will depend on the con stitution of your minds. If your minds are so con stituted that you wish to find the prisoner guilty, perhaps you will believe it; if they happen to be so constituted that you desire to find him not guilty— why then, very likely, you will disbelieve it. You are to free your minds from all passion and prejudice, if you can, and, in that case, your judgment will be unbiassed; but if you cannot, you will return a verdict accordingly. It is not, strictly speaking, for you to consider what will be the effect of your verdict; but if such a consideration should occur to you, and you cannot help attending to it, that verdict will be influenced by it to a certain extent. You are probably aware, that when you retire, you will be locked up till you contrive to agree. You may arrive at unanimity by fair discussion, or by some of you starving out the others, or by tossing up ; and your conclusion, by whichever of these processes arrived at, will be more or less in accordance with your oaths. Your verdict may be right; it is to be hoped it will; . it may be wrong; it is to be hoped it will not. At all events, gentlemen of the jury, you will come to some conclusion or other ; unless it should so happen that you separate without coming to any.—Punch. SEPTEMBER 3. Marshal Bugeaud arrived early this morning from Gemmila-el-Ghazaouat. He leaves this evening for Algiers. Ouchda has been evacuated. The camp of Lalla Maghrania, which is well fortified, is now the head quarters of the French on the frontiers of Morocco. This camp, it must not be forgotten, is, however, on the disputed territory. General Bedeau commands hero with a few thousand men, perhaps 6,000. Marshal Bugenud, who has really retreated from the frontier, has formed a camp of 8,000" men at Gemmaa-el-Ghazaouat, and has given the command to General de Lamoriciire. The camp is situate on the sea shore, and it is intended that the men shall endeavour to recruit their health and spirits here by bathi ng , &c., wa i t i ng th e resu l t o f nego tiations. It appears, however, that the enemy has dis appeared from their frontier, so that it were almost mad ness to stay there and kill off the men, the Marshal not having sufficient force to march into the interior of Mo rocco. The Spahis of Oran are to be reinforced by those of Algiers ; but beyond this we hear nothing of reinforce ment—nothing of the arrival of fresh troops from France. We may now, then, conclude the campaign on the frontiers of Morocco to be ended until October, when, if things are not arranged, we may suppose the Marshal intends returning, and making another demonstration on the Moorish territory, or of marching upon Fez. In the meanwhile, we cannot say that the French will not be again attacked. • I have, nevertheless, in a letter written to you, via Gibraltar, stated that the French were the real and bona fide aggressors in this campaign. They went upon the disputed territory and excited the Moors, and I have no doubt when the passions of the people of Europe are sufpiv•iently calmed down, I shall be able to convince them of this statement. I wish you would also have the Christian charity to remind the apologists of the Guizot Ministry that there is equally a war party in Morocco, and that, like Louis Philippe, who cannot, it would seem, control this fierce element, Muley Abderrahman is obliged to get up a war to please and gratify his pugnacious subjects. We might, however, abstain from observations of this sort, if Louis Philippe's people only damaged their own cowl try and interests. But the feeding of the voracious appetite of the war party must inflict an injr ry upon all Europe. Now comes the most serious affair. We have given you the victories ; you must now have the drawbacks— ah, horrid drawbacks. And yet I know not what would become of mankind were it not for such drawbacks. 'Dry cure men of war. PILCHARD 'FISHERY. PORTLOE.—The drivers ° still continue to take some fish, and the scans have made some small catches. LooE.—Since our last report, one sean has brought in five hogsheads, and another twenty six hogsheads. They were all sold at ss. per flasket. The drift boats have done very little for the last several days. CHARLESTOWN.—On Monday forenoon, all the scans shot, and caught from ten to twenty maunds each of small fish, which were sold at 2s. 6d. per flasket. MOUNT'S I3AY.No pilchards have been taken this week by the scans, and very few by the drift boats. ST. IVES.—Several shoals of pilchards have been seen in the bay during the week, but in too deep water to be taken.— West Briton. Yesterday 500 sick came from Gemmita el-Ghazaonat. The poor fellows were dried up with the sun like Egyp tian mummie3. The greater part of these miserable beings must inevitably perish. They formed a dreadful train of sixty waggons. In a day or two 600 more sick are expected from Tlemcen. The hospital of Oran is the receiving hospital of all the province. Every camp of course has its hospital. Here, then, we have 1,100 sick all at once thrown in upon us ! The number of deaths during this Moorish campaign has been also ex ceedingly great. Thus, though the French may have lost only one sixth of killed and wounded in the battle of Isly which the Moors lost, they will lose now by sickness and disease six times the number which the Moors are re ported to have lost. And so it is in all the campaigns of Africa. And this it is which renders the French war in Algeria really a dreadful war, and, if not without honour, at any rate without profit, and without any prospect of good to the human race in this part of the world.— Times. SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—A report has pre vailed that the South-Western Company intended to carry on a branch' from Salisbury to this city. We be lieve we have authority to state that the intention has been abandoned. Mr. Locke, the engineer has been sur veying the country west of Yeovil, during the past week, with a view of extending the South-Western line to Exeter. But he found the difficulties of the country so great, that the Directors will not, this year, attempt to carry their line further than Yeovil.-- Western Times. CREWKERNE.—PENNY rosTAGE.—We have plea sure in stating that, through the exertions of two pro fessional gentlemen, a subscription amounting to nearly 71. has been raised in this town and neighbourhood, to wards the testimonial to Rowland Hill.—Somerset County Gazette. ' - ACCIDENT AT NEATIL—Ort Wednesday last, a singular accident took place in this neighbourhood, by which three Frenchmen were injured most severely. A French brig,;lying at Giant's Grave,. Briton Ferry, had just been loaded with coals from the collieries of Eagle's Bush, and the hold was shut up. Three of the crew then went dGwn with a lighted candle, " to put the place to rights." The poor fellows were ignorant of the fact that " the damp lodges in large qUantities in coal," and therefore took not the slightest precaution, b u t h e ld t h e candle above -their heads ; the consequence was that an explosion took place, and they , were alltc - xtensively burnt. No hopes are entertained of their ultimate recovery.—. Monmouthshire Merlin. TAKING LONG CREDIT.—A short time ago, a person of this town '(Chelmsford), more ingenious than scru pulous, paid a tradesman for some goods by a bill at two months ; but, on presenting it, at the expiration of that period, the bolder found it was drawn payable two months after death, instead of after' date.—Essex Standard. An action for breach of promise of marriage has, we understand, been brought against Earl Ferrari by a young lady of much amiability, residing near Tarnvvorth: MURDER.-:-.A shocking murder was committed on Sunday evening last in the neighbourhood of Taliaris, in this county, on the body of a young woman, a servant to a farmer there. She went out in the evening to fetch the cows home for the purpose of being milked, and not re turning at the usual time, a persdn was sent in search of her, who found - the body lying by the side of the hedge, in a field close to one of the lodges of Taliaris House. The body presented a dreadful appearance ; the throat was cut, and geveval other gashes inflicted about the re gion of the neck and'throat. The knife with which it is supposed the cruel deed was effected, was found some small distance from the corpse. A -Coroner's inquest was held, and a verdict returned of " Wilful murder against some person 'or persons unknown."—Carmarthen Journal. A REAL TRAVELLER.—A wonder has lately ar rived in India in the shape of a Norwegian runner, who is about to attempt the discovery of the source of the White Nile, on foot, and unattended. He expects to be absent from Vais only about four months, and he is to go in a direct line, crossing deserts and swimming rivers. He runs a degree in twelve hours, and can go three days without food or water, by merely taking a dish or two of syrup of raspberries, of which he carries a small bottle; and when he does procure food, I a very small quantity will 'suffice ; but when it is INTERESTING TO LADIES. 1 plentiful he eats enough for three days.

On Friday, after the entertainments at this theatre had concluded, a silver cup of choice workmanship and elegant device, was presented by the performers to the manager, whose spirited interposition at the moment of extreme embarrassment, we have been in= formed, saved this popular place of resort from being closed altogether. A select party of friends who were invited were regaled in very handsome style upon the stage to witness the presentation. The performers, headed by Mr. H. Hall, the stage manager, ap proached Mr. H. B. Roberts, the lessee, to testify their grateful sense of his liberality and enterprise ini rescuing them from the • lot of even larger theatre s , which had un f or t unate l y been compelled to close but too prematurely for the interest of the performers. Taking the cup in his hand, Mr. Hall said— " My dear s i r , or rather my dear Mr. Roberts, I having been associated with you in the management of this theatre can best bear testimony to the gene rous enthusiasm which led you to aid the company, when others fell from them " It has been said of our unfortunate profession that gratitude is not amid our virtues. " It has been said, but what is the fact ? Here. are the ladies and gentlemen of the Strand Theatre anxious to show that, as you have not been wanting to them, they will not be.wanting to you. " This, Henry Ball Roberts (for I wont mister or esquire you), is an humble, but sincere, tribute to your genuine worth—there is not an individual here but appreciates you as an actor, and as a man—not one but feels that this theatre must have sunk had you not (at a great risk) stepped forward to save it. " Were you absent I could' say much more, but present, respect for your feelings enjoins silence. Ac cept this cup, and believe that those who present it to you thank you for your past exertions, anticioate your future triumphs, and in all sincerity wish health and prosperity to you and yours, and to all that are near and dear to you." The speech was received with great applause. The inscription on the cup was highly appropriate :-- " When the ship's all a wreck, he who steps forth to lead her safe to harbour should be her captain." On the cup was also inscribed the following testi monial :—" Presented to Henry Ball Roberts, Esq., by the ladies and gentlemen of the Strand Theatre, as a slight tribute of respect for the manner , in which, under disastrous circumstances, he aided-his brethren." ~ ti~~'R LAW INTELLIGENC E . COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 13. (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULI3UBN.) C. J. BANNISTERS BANKRUPTCY. _ _ . . clock to a lady who owned the ground, and that he had no doubt of finding a customer for the article. The price was to be eight guineas. It was the de fendant's own suggestion. Witness took the clock to the defendant's house, in Cullum-street, and the de fendant said he should have either the clock or the money next day, but never since that day had the witness received either one or the other. Within a day or two after he put the clock into the defend ant's hands, he ascertained that it had been pawned in Sun-street. About two days after wit ness parted with the clock, he saw the defendant. The clock was then at Hackney. Eight days after the supposed sale of the article, the defendant called and said that he had not got the money for the clock ; that he had the night before been to Hackney, and that the lady was out of town, but the clock was quite as sate as if he had the money. Three days after that the defendant said he would take a silver watch witness had to the lady, as she had a daughter whom it would suit. Witness said the price of the watch would be three guineas, and the defendant said he would have an answer fur both on the same day. The defendant then told witness to wait for him at a cer tain public-house, and he would take an omnibus'and be back in two hours. Four hours elapsed before the defendant came, and then he told the witness that he had not got an answer, but that he should in a day or two. Witness had not received watch, or clock, or money at all, and he had learned that the clock had been sold for half the price he had set on it to a pub lican in Leadenhall-street. The watch had not been traced at all. He did not intend to part with either of the articles without the money. William Underwood, shopman to a pawnbroker, stated that on the 10th of August he received a clock between three and four o'clock in the after noon, but it was not pledged by the prisoner. —(The clock was here produced and identified.) Robert "%Vinson, of East-street, Kennington, said that on Friday fortnight he received the clock from a person of the name of Gould. The defendant was not present. Witness did not know that Gold was in partnership with the defendant. He had known Gould twelve months. Mr. Woolf stated that the two names of Gould and Goulding were used according to the necessity of the case, and that creditors never could find either, for the moment one was asked for the other appeared, and vice versa. John Appleton, of 119, Lead en h a ll- s t ree t , can, stated, that he had purchased the duplicate of the clock of Winson, for 1/. 10s., a n d h e h a d ta k en it out of pawn f or 11. Mrs. Ann Harris was then called by the prisoner, who said that she- was the lady from whom he had got the order for the clock,. and she was examined at great length, by the Lord Mayor, who elicited from her the fact that the prisoner was her brother in-law. She repeatedly contradicted herself and at length refused to answer any more questions. Mr. O'Brien cress -examined the prosecutor in a very ingenious manner, and proved that the poor man had, in his anxiety to get his .property, or part of the value of it, so acted as to convert what was a dead robbery into an apparent debt. The Lord Mayor and Alderman Wood very scrupiously examined the evidence, in the hope of being able to establish a case against the defendant. • His LORDSHIP—I regret very much that. we are obliged to discharge this prisoner ; we cannot help it. You have been plundered, but you have, by the course you have pursued, been completely out-generalled by the defendant. We are sorry for you, and we hope the press will do justice to the defendant, who has acted in the most infamous manner. Here several persons came forward, and stated that the defendant had obtained goods fraudulently from them. The bankrupt in this case was a draper, carrying on business at Derby. Re has failed for about 4,0001., and his assets are said to be under 2,0001. He was originally connected in business with his brother, Robert Bannister, of Portsea, who, it will be recollected, decamped with between 2,0001. and 3,0001., but was captured at Maderia. The fiat against C. J. Bannister was, in the first instance, issued in Birmingham, but removed to London, in order to work the two bankruptcies together, and thus thoroughly investigate the state of their affairs. The sitting to-day was for the choice of assignees, and the only proof upon which any discussion arose was one tendered by the trustees of thq wives of the bankrupts, they having married two sisters, for 1,1201., cash advanced to enable them to commence trade. Mr. M. Chambers supported the trustees, Mr. Young appeared for the bankr u pt, an d Mr. Reed, as solicitor for several creditors, opposed the proof. An examination of witnesses was entered into, to show the bona _fides of the proof; at the conclusion of which, Mr. Commissioner GouLnuaN said he was satisfied that the money was advanced, and therefore he should admit the debt. - The only question was whether .it was necessary, under the terms of the settlement, for the bankrupt to join in the proof. As, however, the wives had joined with the trustees, he did not think it requisite for the bankrupt tci do so. Mr. REED then stated that the number of creditors for whom he appeared carried the choice of assignees in favour of Mr. G. Hitchcock, of St. Paurs•church yard, and Mr. D. Ainsworth, of Manchester, both warehousemen ; and added that they would require the bankrupt to give a minute and detailed statement of his affairs in his balance-sheet. Mr. Reed parti cularly referred to the deficiency which appeared in the bankrupt's stock and bank account between Ja nuary last and August, the latter the date of his failure. The bankrupt said his books wou ld exp l a i n all, and give, he was sure, satisfactory information of the state of his accounts. Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN urged the bankrupt to be assiduous and attentive to his estate, and distin guish his conduct from that of his brother, which had been exceedingly faulty. The bankrupt promised attention to the request of the Court, and the proceedings were adjourned till the 28th of September, when the two brothers will come up for their last examination.: INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 14 IN THE MATTER OF RENTON NICHOLSON. A petition from the above-named insolvent, who lately kept the Garrick's Head, in Bow-street, Covent-garden, was filed in the office of the Court as a preliminary proceeding to his appearance for hearing. It appears from the petition and the documents an nexed, that the insolvent, who describes himself as late of Exeter Hotel, Strand, out of business, was arrested on Friday and taken to the Queen's prison. He exdeditiously procured the necessary papers, and was enabled within twenty-four hours of his confine ment to petition the Court. _ _ By the description it seems that the insolvent had kept the Garrick's Head, which place he rented of Mr. Simpson, of the Albion Tavern, who had distrained furniture to 901. and books to 101., which were on the premises, for arrears of rent amounting to 2501. CITY OF LONDON SESSIONS. Before the RECORDER, the LORD MAYOR, Mr. Alderman GIRDS, Mr. Alderman CHALLIS, and Mr. Alderman FansrcomnE.) On Saturday the Special Quarter Sessions of the Peace was held at ten o'clock, in the Guildhall Court. The criminal calendar was unusually heavy, there being no less than thirty-two names upon the list, of whom fifteen were out on bail. Upon the ballot taking place for the grand jury, the name of Mr. Elias Davies was called. That gentle. man came forward, and having been sworn without his hat (contrary to the usual custom), stated to the Court that this being the Jewish Sabbath, and it being also a solemn feast, he could not conscientiously sit as a jury man. After a short consultation between the Recorder and the Lord Mayor, Mr. Davies was excused. The same plea was admitted to be valid in the case of Mr. Lazarus, another Jew. After a brief address from the Recorder, the grand jury were remitted to their usual duties. When the •officer of the Court was proceeding to call over the mites of the petty jury, that of Mr. Harrison was called, whin a gentleman stepped forward and said that Mr. Harrison was the editor of a weekly newspaper, and con sequently quite unable to attend, owing to the late hours to which his professional avocations kept him up. The Court held this to be a sufficient excuse, and struck Mr. Harrison's name off. Thomas Rose was indicted for bringing two cows into Smithfield market, and there exposing them for sale and to be slaughtered, the said cows being at the time affected with an infectious disease, which rendered them totally unfit fur human food. - Mr. Payne 'appeared on behalf of the prosecution, which was instituted at the instance of the market autho• rities ; and Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. A fter a long discussion between the Learned Counsel, the Recorder directed an acquittal, on the ground that the evidence was not sufficient to show an intention of slaughtering them for human food. Several cases of assault were disposed of during the day. On Saturday, William Bowes, George Jackson, William Robinson, Thomas Dench, and Frederick Langhorn, wore indicted for having, on the 13th of August last, created a riot in the West London Union, and violently assaulting Mr. William Thompson, the master of the union ; and James Kenable, John Daw son London, John Buckmaster, Thomas Phillips, and Henry Lamplough, the Board of Guardians. The master of the workhouse said that on Tuesday afternoon, the 13th of August, he received instruc tions from the Board of Guardians to have the defen dant Dench confined in the Refractory Ward. Wit ness ordered the door-porter to take him into custody. Defendant refused to go, when the porter took hold of him to remove him by force. He resisted, and wit ness went to the assitance of the porter. As soon as defendant had got to the bottom of th e s t eps , he called out for assistance, when Robinson and 13ovves came to his aid, and they called out for other parties to come and assist them.. Fearing that the whole of the in mates would help in the rescue, he closed a door leading from the yard into the union, to prevent their coming in. Scarcely had he done so, however, than another of the defendants procured a ladder, and was only prevented from getting over the gate by a cheraux-defrise. The whole of the defendants in their turn pitched into witness, and thrust him forcibly to the ground. Whilst on th e groun d , one of them called. out, "D —n him, kick him, my boys !" • They created such a noise that all the female inmates rushed to the windows in the greatest state of excitement, and the boys outside hooted, and threw showers of stones over the wall. The RECORDER — For what offence was he ordered to be placed in confinement ? Witness—For talking and laughing during Divine service. Other evidence, showing that the defendants be haved in a most shameful and cruel manner was ad duced, when the jury were addressed by the Recorder ; and, after a few minutes' consultation, a verdict of Guilty against all the defendants were returned. The prisoner —Nonsense; the money has been lying at my house for you all these three or four days. There were several fellows, no doubt of the de fendant's stamp, in the Court, who was evidently de lighted at . the decision of the magistrates. The de fendant put on . his hat and strutted out of the bar. LAMBETH-STREET. William Kinyaby, a messenger at the Sailors' Home, Well -street, Wellclose-square, was charged before the Hon. G. C. Norton, with embezzling va rious sums, amounting in the aggregate to upwards of 801., the moneys of Captain Elliott and other Direc tors belonging to that Institution. From the evidence it appeared that the captains and owners of vessels are in the habit, on their arrival in the port of London, of sending their apprentices to the Sailors' Home, paying for them a certain sum weekly. 'Bills had been given from time to time to the prisoner to collect the amount due for these ap prentices, and, though he had received the money for them, he had never made a return of it. After a brief examination, the prisoner was re manded to a future day. John Mitchell, a ruffianly-looking fellow, was charged with committing a murderous assault upon Mary Anne Murray, an unfortunate female with whom he cohabited. It appeared from the evidence of the complainant, whose life had beim for some time in considerable danger, that on Wednesday week he, without the slightest cause, attacked the unfortunate woman, • struck her with his clenched fist, kicked her all over the body, and jumped upon her in the most savage manner, until he reduced her toa state of insensibility, and the very point of death. Mr. Brown, a surgeon, in East Smithfield, described the nature of the injuries inflicted. Mr. NORTON remarked that during the whole of his magisterial experience he did not recollect a more dastardly or savage case being brought before him, and committed the prisoner to Newgate, to take his trial on the charge of wounding. CLERKEN WELL. A few days ago a woman named Stephens was charged at this Court with presenting a begging letter to Inspector Barton, of the G division, who took her and her two children under his care, with a view to benefit them in case the distress which she pretended to be labouring under was founded in fact. On the following day she and her children were in troduced to Mr. Combe, and her tale exciting much sympathy, she was given over to the charge of the parish officers of Islington, that a full investigation into all the circumstances detailed in her begging letter might be made. The case, as one of distress, was duly inserted in the morning papers, and fairly represented, and as is usual in such matters, the eyes of many benevolent individuals were drawn thereto, and subscriptions to be applied to her use have been sent anonymously to Mr. Combe. One sum of 51., from D. N., is requested to be acknowledged as received in the newspapers; but the humane donor will, on application to the above worthy Magistrate, receive that sum back again, or cause it to be appropriated to a better purpose, it having been ascertained beyond doubt that the woman is utterly undeserving of protection—that she was drunk when her husband died, and that she has been a disgrace and outcast of society, deceiving every one that would befriend her ever since. Mr. COMBE, in a feeling address to the defendant, said that he would not, if he could avoid it, have any thing more to do with her, and left her with Mr. Hicks, the relieving overseer of Islington, to be passed to her own parish, believed to be Whitechapel. Thomas Birne, having the appearance of a foreigner, and wearing moustachios, was charged with assaulting and threatening constable 41 E, and attempting to bribe that officer. Sentence—Dench, who acted as ringleader, one month.; and the remainder of the defendants fourteen days each in die House of Correction. The'prisoner lives in Tottenham-court, Tottenham , court-road, and on the previous night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, was hallooing and shouting, so as to disturb the inhabitants, .and arouse them from sleep. The constable remonstrated with him, but he shouted all the louder, and applied, very bad language tow a rd s th e complainant ; who finding remonstrance useless, took him into custody. They had not advanced more than a few paces when the prisoner collared him, and shaking him violently, endeavoured to throw him from him. Fearing he would be overpowered, the constable sprang his rattle, and the.prisoner finding that for ce , ould not answer, ffered his captor a sum of money to set him at liberty, which was, however refused. The prisoner denied the charge, which was, however, fully proved by the other constable who assisted in e curing him. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Deputy-Judge WALEsny.) On Saturday a youth, named Burchfield, ten years of age, was indicted fur assaulting James Todd, a lad of the same age. It appeared they were playing in a field, when Todd struck Burchfield, who told him if he did so again he would throw a bottle at his head; and, upon hia repeating the blow, he did fling a bottle at him, which „made th e bl oo d- fl ow p ro fusely. The prisoner was' found gu il ty. The JUDGE inquired of the complainant's mother what expense she had been put to ?—She replied she did not know what the sur geon 's charges were. Mr. Burchfield; of West Smithfield, came forward and said he was related to the prisener, who was a gcloti boy. He — was sentenced, in default of the payment of a fine, to seven days' imprisonmt-nt in the House of Correction, UNION•HALL. Sarah Drew, the wife of an aged man, the pro prietor of a circulating library, in Castle -street, Southwark, was brought Wore Mr. Cottingham for re- examination, charged with administering a quan tity of arsenic to her husband, with intent to destroy him. it will not cover more than her expenses , The JUDGE—I think, if you. give Mrs. Todd al. , as she and the medical man h ave attended the Court th ree d a y s . Mr. Burchtield—l rea ll y t hi n k, y o ur Honour, it will be encour ag i ng parties to bring c h arges o f thi s kind here: The principal object, in remanding the prisoner, was for the purpose of giving Policeman 67 1, an opportunity of discovering where the arsenic was purchased. The JUDGE--That is a very improper remark. Be careful you are not guilty of contampt of Court. You see in me the representative of the law, and I must see that it is respected. Mr. Burchfield apologised, and said he would pay any sum the Court fixed. The JUDGE then severely admonished the prisoner, who is of a very violent temper, and discharged him se w with caution, sentenced to transportation fine for ten years. The MAGISTRATE now inquired whether the seller of the article was found ?—Mr. James, the solicitor for the prosecution, replied in the negative, and said that his client still exhibited great unwillinpness to appear against the prisoner, a feeling in which he was joined by his children. _ _ Mr. COTTINGIIAM said that the charge against the prisoner was of so serious a character that he could not listen to such a suggestion as that just made; that it was his bounden duty to send the case for inve• ti gation before a higher tribunal, and for that purpose should commit the prisoner. The MAGISTRATE said that in the interval of the trial, should it be ascertained where the arsenic was bought, evidence of the fact might be adduced before the grand jury when the indictment was preferred against her. During the time the prisoner was at the bar she trembled very much, and seemed to be labouring under the palsy. When told that she was to be com mitted she wept bitterly, and was obliged to be sup ported out of the dock. POLICE - , •- - (SATURDAY.) XNTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A man, named Ch ores J ose h Goding, who was p said to have been a so r t o f Old Bailey agent, or getter up of defences at the sc h oo l o f morality and polite ness—the Central Criminal Court—was brought be fore the Lord Mayor and Alderman Thomas Wood, • charged with felony. Charles J. Madell, of Millen-street, Cripplegate, cabiner=rnaker, stated that he knew the defendant,, who represented his name to . be Joseph Golding, and called at his house, at about half-past eleven o'clock, in the forenoon of the Bth of August. Witness bad for sale a clock, for which h e asked eight guineas. The defendant said he was building a row of houses at liaggerstone, and that he wanted to show this MARLBOROUGH -STREET. Alfred Walker, bug destroyer, who stands charged with having stolen upwards of 5001. in money, and some jewellery, the property of Mrs. Tarbox, the housekeeper, from the residence of the Earl of Har rowby, in Grosvenor-square, was on Friday brought before Mr. Hardwick for another examination. Mr. Pelham, who attended for the prosecution, said as he was not in a situation to produce additional evidence, because the police had not as yet suffi ciently matured their investigation, he must, in order that' the ends of justice might be attained, ask for another remand for a short period. Mr. Crouch, who appeared for the prisoner, ob jected to the application. The obiect of Mr. Pelham might be justice, but there was justice due to the prisoner as well as the Earl of Harrowby. The pri soner had now been in custody for some weeks. The evidence at the outset was inconclusive, and-the last examination tended to exonerate the prisoner from even the suspicion which the evidence at the com mencement might have raised. Under these circum stances he felt justified in asking the Court to release his client from custody. Mr. Hatinwrcx said, where justice required it, he had not hesitated to remand an accused penon fur several weeks, although no fresh evidence might have been produced at each examination. There was grave suspicion against the prisoner, supported by evidence of . no mean weight, added to which there was the fact of the prisoner having previously been tried at Nivegate on a similar charge. These circumstances amply justified the police in asking for a remand from time to time, and the Court in acceding to the appli cation. If the police came forward and declared that further time was necessary, he should listen to the application. Inspector Pearce, of the detective force, said he had the strongest reason last week for believing that he should have been in the possession of such evidence as would have proved of a conclusive character. He had been disappointed, but there was still a possi bility if the prisoner was remanded for a few days that something might yet be done. Mr. HARDWICK said he would remand the prisoner until Thursday next. In the course of the proceedings the solicitor of the Earl of Harrowby, who attended on the former occa sions, stated that the Earl of Harrowby waa not the prosecutor, but that the whole of the proceedings ori ginated with Mrs. Tarbox. An application was made on behalf of the prisoner for the money found beneath his bed, as it was neces sary to have funds in order to carry on his defence. Mr. Haanwicx, after bearing the circumstances under which the money was discovered, was of opinion that its detention would not assist the case, and therefore, directed the amount to be delivered to the prisoner. A paragraph was copied from an evening news paper of Thursday to the effect that a Frenchman had been dreadfully wounded by a Pole, who had me ditated the assassination of his victim. The details are little better than a fabrication. The simple fact that a quarrel took place in a public-house, and the complainant, who was at this Court on Thursday, re ceived a few scratches of no moment, for which an assault summons was granted. QUEEN-SQUARE. Martha Grant, alias Boddington, Eliza Harris, Eliza Smith, William Lear, and Edward Collins, with George Boddington, who has since surrendered, the persons charged with being concerned in the late mysterious affair at 'Westminster, underwent a very lengthened examination. The circumstances under which the prisoners were apprehended were of a most suspicious character. Alfred Dark, a man described as a journeyman iifiker, but who was well known to have been connected with play men and others of a lawless character, and who had left London on the Saturday previous with George Boddington on a country excursion; was dis covered on the afternoon of Monday week last lying dead in a house in Orchard-street, Westminster. As he had evidently met his death by a gun-shot wound in the arm, and as his property had been removed from the residence he occupied, at No. 3, York-ter race, Pentonville, the impression on the mind o f th e police was, that he had met his death unfairly, and had then been plundered by his associates. Dark had, it appeared, separated from his wife about eighteen months ago, and, although he allowed her a guinea per week for her maintenance, cohabited with a female named Eliza, and the police were much strengthened in their suspicions by the circumstance of this female having been found at the house where Dark's remains were, added to the circumstance of its having been denied to a person who made appli cation on the subject that Dark was dead at all. These and some other points all confirmatory of strong suspicion induced the apprehension of the pri soners, who were all found at the house in Orchard street, and some of whom were proved to have as sisted in the removal of the goods to a beer-snop, where they were discovered. On the first hearing a certificate from a coroner at Newbury, for the inter ment of the body of Alfred Dark, was produced, and the police having begged time to inquire into the genuineness of the document, the accused were re manded, but admitted to bail, in consequence of the defence set up, having been that they were removing property which belonged to the second Mrs. Dark, a woman who liVed with him, and the Magistrate con sidering the case of a slight nature against them. Mr. Humphreys attended for the prosecution ; M Wontner for the prisoners.' On the accused being placed in the dock, Mr. Humphreys observed, that at the time when the prisoners at the bar had first been captured, there was some reason to suppose that the crime of murder had been committed. The strictest investigation had taken place into the circumstances attending the death of Alfred Dark, and he felt it his duty to state that there was not the slightest pretence for such a charge, the deceased having met his death by accident, while shooting at some birds in the country. Evidence was then given as to the amount and the ownership of the goods. Mr. BURRELL ultimately said he should remand George Boddington and Lear for three weeks, but would take bail for their appearance. The others he would discharge, on their entering into their own re cognizances to appear. Bail was, in the course of a quarter of an hour, put in for Boddington and Lear. WORSHIP-STREET. George Oberhausen was brought up for final exa mination, upon a charge of robbing his employers, Messrs. De la Rue and Sons, and committed for trial. BRENTFORA CRUELTY TO A CHILD.—On Saturday a person of respectable appearance, named John Tolfree, an excise-officer ' living at N o . 6, M ary - street, P a l ace New-road, Lambeth, and also in Linkfield lane, Isle worth, appeared before Mr. 11. Pownall and the Rev. H. S. Trimmer, the sitting Magistrates, to answer a charge of cruelty to his own child, a boy eleven years of age. Mr. Lewis, assistant overseer of Isleworth, attended by desire of the Board of Guardians of the Brentford Union to support the charge ; and Mr. Nicholas, solicitor of New Brentford, appeared for the defendant. •John Tolfree, a gond-looking, intelligent child, was the first witness called. He deposed that he was a son of the defendant, and was living in the house in Linkfield -lane ' Isleworth, w h ere hi s f at h er h a d several times chained him up. On the previous Saturday week, as he sat at dinner, about half-past one o'clock, his father came in and immediately took him up stairs, where he went to a box and pulled some chains out, with which he took him to a back room, and having nailed the chains to the floor, fastened them round witness's right leg with a padlock, and left him there. He remained there chained down all that day and all that night. At night his father's housekeeper brought him up a piece of bread and butter, and on the following morning (Sunday) he succeeded in getting looie from the chains, and went down stairs ; but on the house keeper seeing him, she called his father, who took him up stairs again to the back-room, and again chained him by the leg, that time adding, also, chains to both hands. On that d a y (S un d ay ) the housekeeper . brought him up some breakfast about twelve o'clock, and about one o'clock his father unlocked the room door, and unchained one hand, giving him at the same time a piece of dry bread. He remained in that con fined state until the following Thursday, when he again succe:ederi in freeing himself from the chains, and got out of the room. On the Monday he had no thing but dry bread and water, but on the other two days the housekeeper brought him some meat, and told him that his father had ordered him to have dry bread only. While in the back room he had no bed to lie on, but laid on the floor. On the Thursday, when he got the chains off, he went out into the street, and told Mrs. Ru.sell and other neighbours the treatment he had received. By the BEN - Cll—His father had often told him not to call him " father." While confined from the Na tutday to the Thursday had water once to wsh with. His father had beaten him very much, hut not so much lately. Had not at times as much as he could eat. By Mr. Nicholas —Had done nothing to deserve such punishment. The Bench then examined the boy's legs. The right- leg bore evident marks of the effects of the chains, but the worst was the left leg, which was covered with bandages, and on their being removed there was found a wound above the top of the instep of the size of a crown piece, the effects of the chains, which excited indignation from all who witnessed it. Four other witnesses, neighbours of the defendant, were then examined, who corroborated the statement of the boy. The defendant, in answer to the charge, acknow ledged having chained the boy up, but, in extenua tion, pleaded that the boy was a liar, thief, anti every thing that was bad. Mr. Nicholas proposed to call witnesses on behalf of the defendant to prove his statement; but The Bored said they could not go into that part of the case, as it was one of tee serious a nature f_a• them to decide summarily. 'They had made up their minds to send the case to trial; and they should re quire the defendant to enter into his (min recognizance ...........,'. ...0••• Ai.... •....... _ i of 501., with two sureties in 251. each, to AMA° the sessions.
