LAW INTELLIGENCE. was being delivered to him, was then removed in custody of Mr. Kean, the governor of Horsemonger-lane gaol. James Horsted, George Bragger, Mary Ann Ash, Rosetta Bragger, Richard Bragger, and Alexander Nicholson, were in dicted for the manslaughter of Luke Williams. The particu lars of the case have been very recently reported. The de ceased went into a house of a disreputable description in Limehouse, and, while there, was robbed and beaten to such an extent as to cause his death on the following day. The evidence was of a very conflicting nature. The jury found Horsted Guilty, and acquitted the other prisoners. The COURT sentenced Horsted to two months' imprisoment. Richard Bragger, Mary Ann Ash, and Alexander IViehol son, were then indicted for robbing the deceased, but the Counsel for the prosecution stated that, as he had no addi tional evidence beyond what the jury had heard in the former case, he should not, after the verdict they had just returned, call any evidence in support of the present iadict ment ; and The Learned JUDGE thereupon directed the jury to acquit the prisoners, which they accordingly did. John Thomas Williamson, aged 21, was indicted for felo niously killing and slaying Robert Harrison Thurlow and Julia Lane, by carrying them and thirteen other passengers in a boat on the river Thames, which boat was constructed to carry four persons only, Mr, RYLAND stated the case on the part of the prosecu tion, and called several witnesses, from whose evidence it ap peared that on the evening of the 18th May the prisoner took a number of very young persons into his boat, amount ing to 15 altogether; and that when the boat was some where near London-bridge it got foul of a steamer, and was consequently upset, and precipitated the whole party into the water, by which means five of them lost their lives, and the rest were saved with great difficulty. The Beadle of the Watermen's Company proved that the boat in question was not a licensed one, and that from its small size, it was one that would not, under any circum stances, be licensed to carry more than four persons. The jury acquitted the prisoner. John Curtis, alias Johnson, Sarah Bennett, and Lucy Groves, were indicted far a robbery, attended with violence, on the person of Boulanger, a Frenchman. It appeared that the prosecutor had been induced by a very young girl to enter a house of ill-fame in the neighbourhood of St. Giles's, and that he had no sooner done so than he was attacked by the female prisoners, who demanded his money, watch, &c., and on his refusing to part with them they called the male prisoner to their assistance, and the whole party then fell upon him, knocked him down, robbed him of his watch and 51., and on his calling for assistance the male prisoner attempted to cut his throat with a knife, which was handed to him for that purpose by ore of the women, and that, in his struggles, his (prosecutor's) hand was cut severely. The prisoner Curtis, in defence, said that he desired the prosecutor and the girl he brought with him to leave the house, and on his refusal to do so he tried to put him out, and in the struggle that took place between them the prosecutor's hand got cut by his having dashed it through a pane of glass. He denied having asked for or used a knife. The jury found Curtis and Bennett guilty, and acquitted Groves. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 15. SMITH AND WIFE V. THE REV. E. PAGET. __ _ _ Mr. Platt and Mr. Miller were counsel for the plain tiffs, and Mr. Wortley and Sir John Bayley for the defendant. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for a libel, published by the defendant, of and concerning the female plaintiff. Mr. PLATT stated that he had the honour of appear iar for Mr. and Mrs. Smith, who were compelled to place this case before them, for the purpose of clearing Mrs. Smith's character. Mrs. Smith carried on a very considerable establishment, as a milliner and dress maker, in Hanover-square, where she was well known and respected. The defendant, he regretted to say, was a clergyman, and the nephew of the Marquis of Angle sey, and he was now called upon to answer before a jury for the publication of a false and malicious libel, one of no ordinary kind. It was particularly pointed to the business and calling of the plaintiff, and was calculated to do her very serious injury. It seemed, whether for the purpose of pandering to some morbid feeling, or from higher motives, the Rev. Gen tleman employed himself in publishing a book, entitled " The Pageant." He would not discuss the merits of the book; he would only call their attention to the general outline of it, for the purpose of showing them what had been introduced into the preface, that they might see the mischievous tendency of that publication. Facts and conversations were introduced into it with a view of laying before its readers the sufferings of young females employed in these occupations. No one could view their condition without feelings of compassion; but he would beg to ask the jury what calling there was in which there were not sufferings arising from labour? How many were there in his own profession com plained of the labour they underwent ? How many who had arrived at the highest honours who dropped almost into the grave?—the bodily powers were worn out by the working of the mind. There was no trade or profession in which there was not great labour and risk to health, and it was not to be denied that in the business of a milliner in this great town those employed in it had to submit to considerable hardship, and if there was a proper case to be laid before the jury and the public, in which a charge could be made against any individual of the mode in which the trade was carried on, he should not complain of the charge being made ; but that was not the case here—the estab lishment over which his client presided was not only most extensive, but carried on in the most humane manner. If he could go into the question, he had per sons here who could state to them the mode in which the establishment was conducted, for this action was brought for the purpose of challenging inquiry, to show that it was an infamous calumny. In the preface of the book it would seem to have been published for the purpose he had mentioned, which, after relating a slip-slop story, ended with a desecration of the Scriptures. There was nothing, so disgusting as this cant, which, after giving a story as prefaced by the introduction, in which the defendant pretended that he had received from a correspondent, in whom he could confide, information, which he gave, but was grossly libelous, and then ended with a quotation from the Scriptures. The clergyman, whose duty it was to preach charity, should at least practise it. In the pre face it was stated that the writer would not mention any thing for which he had not the warrant of good autho • rity, either from the Parliamentary report, or from in formation obtained from private sources; and he then stated that he had received information from a lady that she had seen a young woman who was apprenticed in the establishment of Mr. and Mrs. G., in B— S—. The premium was 40/., and there were seventy appren tices. The meat was contracted for in Newate market, and was so bad that they could not eat it. The bread was so sour that it disagreed with them. Beer they had none. The tea was as poor as possible. Each of the apprentices was forced to pay 3d. a week to the housemaid, who had no other wages, and did not therefore take much care of their rooms. For three weeks they were only allowed to lie down on their wretched flock beds for two hours without undressing. At last one poor girl, who had often complained of illness, left the room, and in the course of the evening she died, and Mr. G. after wards hushed up the matter by giving her friends 200 L The apprentices worked in a room at the top of the house with a glass roof ; that in summer they were al most burnt up, and in the winter were almost frozen with cold. All this, it would be said, was bad enough; but there was a Mrs. S—, of ll S—, who had eighty apprentices in her establishment, and who treated them a little worse than Mr. and Mrs. G. Did they not think that when any one ventured to publish such a charge against an individual lie should have ascertained whether it was true or false? In common fairness he ought to have done so ; but he had done nothing of the kind. The plaintiff, had desired this gentleman to la thin know who his correspondent was, as he had stated that in this correspondent he had the highest confidence, but he would not give up the name of the party, and, therefore, it was to be surmised there was no such in existence, but that it was all produced by the Rev. Gentleman himself. What was Mr. Smith to have done, knowing the utter false-hood of the imputation ? He could do no more than challenge him to the proof. If an action were brought against a person fur publishing a libel for the purpose of recovering damages, the defendant, if he could prove it to be true, might state upon the record that it was well founded, and if he proved it to be so, he could defeat the action. A party could not succeed in • action for libel, if the defendant could prove that that whico'• he had written was true. An action was the only mode itt which a party maligned c ou ld c h a ll enge th e roofof L .tiA aspersion, an d th e l aw did not a ll s ow ~ person t recover damag es if the defendant came forward boldly and prov ed the truth of the arti cle he had publisher. Before the present action was brought a letter was wrft:sm by the plaintiff's attorney, stating that he was instructed on behalf of a lady, whose name began with S, and to whom the initials were applicable, to request the defendant to favour him with a line, stating who the correspondent mentioned in his book was. bio answer being returned to this application, it was repeated, trusting, as a clergyman and a gentle nun, he would not hesitate to state whether Mrs. s—, of S—, meant Mrs. Smith, of Hanover-square, and to request he would furnish him with with the name and address of the lady who furnished him with the informa tion. He (Mr. Platt) should have thought, that if the Reverend Gentleman had not meant Mrs. Smith, he would at once have said that it did not allude to Mrs. Smith, but, on the contrary, he had written a letter of a most shuffling character. It was this :—" In reply to your note, just received, I beg to say, with every desire to meet your wishes, I cannot give up the name of the person alluded to as my correspondent. There are so many streets in London commencing with the initial H, and so many persons whose names commence with S, that I can't feel that the public is furnished with the slightest clue to the party alluded to. As however, your note seems to itnply, and I most deeply regret it, that some respectable lady has been made uneasy, and as I trust I need scarcely say my remarks were not directed against indi viduals, but against a system, I beg to assure you I shall be most happy, in a second edition, to withdraw the initials altogether ; but I must decline saying who was or was not alluded to by them." In his book, he (Mr. Platt) ; found this passage :- 4, I would much rather you would spit at me than throw dust in my eyes. I can see little difference between equivocation and downright lying." He (Mr. Platt) could go along with him in that observation; and he should like to have had a little truth here. He pub lished his book, but he did not dare to come forward. It was not one of those cases in which there would be any difficulty in proving the case, if true, because he might have called all these eighty young ladies. It was plain the whole was a foul fabrication manufactured for the purpose of oppressing an individual carrying on a re spectable establishment, merely to gratify some feeling of this Rev. Gentleman. He therefore called upon the jury to give such damages as would be a lesson to this gentleman not to publish that the truth of which he could not establish. Several witnesses then swore that they believed the initials had reference to Mrs. Smith, of Hanover-square. Lord DENMAN summed up the case. The fact of the defendant having no knowledge of the party would not exempt him from responsibility. All persons were liable for acts they deliberately did which were injurious to others. There was no doubt of the defendant's general feelings of benevolence, but they must see whether the defendant had not taken the means of doing a most irreparable injury to one of his fellow-men. It would have been well if Mr. Paget had determined not to say one word upon the subject until he had inquired Into the facts, and satisfied himself that they were true; and, if true, it would have been highly proper to have brought them forward; but he should hold that no man was justified in publishing anything' unlessnit the time of publishin g it he was fully prepared to prove the truth of that which he published. They would say whether 2 party had not a right to expect an explanation when so maligned. The jury retired for some time, and then gave a ver dict for the plaintiff—Damages, 100/. Mr. Baron GURNEY said that robberies, attended with vio lence, such as the prisoners had used towards the prosecutor, would always be visited with the severest punishment. He then ordered sentence of death to be recorded against Curtis and Bennett, accompanied with an intimation that their sentence would be commuted to one of transportation for the term of their natural lives. Charles Hall was indicted for the murder of his wife, Charlotte Hall, at Wimbledon. It will be recollected that, a short time since, the wife of the prisoner was found dead in her bed, and that he imme diately absconded. This conduct on his part gave rise to a suspicion that the deceased had met her death by foul means ; but on the coroner holding an inquest on her body, the me dical gentleman, who had made a post-mortem examination of the body, gave it as his opinion that her death had been caused by apoplexy, and the jury thereupon returned a ver dict of natural death. The same gentleman having now repeated his evidence, the Judge directed the jury to acquit the prisoner, and which they accordingly did. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. A decent, hard-working man, named Mitchell, was brought before Sir John Pirie, charged with having de serted from the 61st Regiment eleven years ago. The circumstances excited much interest in the justice-room, in which a number of persons, who were acquainted with the prisoner, attended to hear the particulars of the accusation. Florence Driscoll, a native of the South of Ireland, presented himself t') the Alderman, and said that he was the accuser. He knew the prisoner to have been a deserter, in the year 1833, from the 61st Regiment, of which Lieutenant-Colonel Burnsides was the Colonel,- Sir J. Praiz—Are you a policeman or constable? Witness—No. I was in the same regiment myself, and I was discharged Ia 1840, and I know he deserted from the regiment in 1833. He told me he was discharged ; but I know I am right in saying he is a deserter. Sir JOHN RIRIE—What motive have you for thus ac cusing. this man of being a deserter ? Is there any re ward attached to the information ? Prosecutor-1 be liere there is, please your Lordship ; but that an't my object. I consider it my duty, whenever I see a deserter, to take him into custody. Sure, I'm sworn to do my duty. Sir Jolty PIRIE—Do you know the man ? Prose cutor—l know him to be a deserter; and 1 charge him, because I am bound by law to do so. Sir JOHN Prnie—Why did you not apprehend him before ? It is several years since he deserted. if he de serted at all. Prosecutor—l had nobody to help me till a little while ago ; and that's the reason I didn't do it before. I now charge him with being a deserter, and I'll prove it upon oath. Sir Jody PIRIE—What has the prisoner to say to this ? The prisoner—My Lord, he is perfectly ac quainted with me, for my daughter is married to his son. All this has arisen from a quarrel which took place last ni,-,ht between his wife and my wife. Prosecutor—l have nothing to do with my wife's quarrels. I come here fbr the sake of the public, and I have nothing to do about my wife and his wife. What has my wife to do with my duty to my country—Eh? Sir JOHN PIRIE—This is evidently a malicious and a vindictive movement of yours, Mr. Driscoll. Prosecutor-4 am sworn to take up persons of this kind. He got my son to marry his daughter, to prevent me from apprehending him, but I know my duty to my country too well, and here I have him accordingly. The prisoner—My Lord, I am now in the employment of Mr. Hayward, of the Minories, a gentleman who be longs to the Court of Common Council, in whose service I have been these two years and a half. I have been in the employment of other gentlemen of high respectability in the City, who will readily come forward to bear testimony to my honesty and industry, and have brought up a family of fourteen children. My prosecutor has accused me merely on account of the disagreement be tween our wives. Prosecutor—He must appear to answer this at the War-office. Sir JOHN PIRIE—As the prisoner is charged upon the oath of the prosecutor with being a deserter, I have no alternative but to send him to the War-office, but I shall take care that the circumstances shall be repre sented to the proper authorities, and I shall certainly do all I can for the poor man at the bar. I cannot dispose of the matter without declaring that nothing can pal liate the conduct of the prosecutor in volunteering at this time, and under such circumstances, to arraign the prisoner, when he could have done so years ago. The prisoner expressed himself most gratefully to Sir John Pirie. Several very decent men declared with one voice that they had long known the prisoner to be a man of most unexceptionable character, and in answer to Sir John Pirie, who desired to know whether his family were provided for in his absence, the prisoner replied that his master, upon being informed of the occurrence, would, he had no doubt, take care that they should be supplied. Sir JOHN PIRIE—Very well, I shall see your master, and I shall write to Lord Fitzroy Somerset upon the subject. The above scene was frequently interrupted by ebulli tions of feeling from the crowd. WORSHIP -STREET. Mr. Sowerby, a pawnbroker, was summoned by a common informer, named Charles M'Callan, formerly a policeman at Birmingham, who charged him with having exacted a farthing beyond the lawful interest. The informer's witness, Richard Moor, a discharged policeman, proved that on the 6th of February he re deemed a waistcoat pledged for 45., and was charged 2d. interest, which was a farthing too much. He was cer tain of the date, because he redeemed two pledges on the same day, and made a memorandum of it for the purpose of information, and he said that upon the second pledge a farthing too much interest was charged also. Mr. Humphreys, who appeared for the pawnbroker, said the fact was that upon the second pledge a farthing less than the lawful interest was taken, and he produced the ticket in proof of it ; but Mr. Bond found the writing upon it so imperfect that it could not be made out. The informer's witness produced his memorandum book, to show that his statement was correct. Mr. BOND convicted, as it was admitted there had been a farting overcharged upon the first pledge. A second summons, for a similar offence, was then brought forward ; but Mr. Humphreys admitted the fact of overcharge in that case. Mr. BOND fined the defendant 40s. and costs, upon each summons, but he directed that the costs only should he paid to the informer, and no part of the penalty. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT.

Carr engaged the prisoner's cab at Kennington, and rHE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, JUISTE 17, 1844. I was driven to Grosvenor-street. Some time after she alighted she missed her purse, which she was confident she had left on the seat, but being ignorant of the number of the vehicle, she gave information of the cir cumstance at Scotland-yard, and also made inquiry at Somerset House to ascertain if the cab driver had depo sited the purse and contents there. Being unsuccessful, however, in her application, Policeman Radcliffe, being informed of the circumstances, with difficulty traced the prisoner as the man who had driven Mrs. Carr on the day in question, although he at first equivocated a good deal on the subject. When, however, he was brought into the presence of the lady, he at first denied that he knew anything about the purse or its contents, but upon Mrs. Carr assuring him that if her property was restored to her she would not prose cute, the prisoner then admitted that he found the purse and all that it contained some time after she quitted the cab, and said they were all safe, with the exception of one sovereign, which he had foolishly spent. The above admission was made in the presence of Radcliffe, to whom the prisoner then handed over the purse and its contents, with the exception of the sovereign which he said he had expended. The policeman added that Mrs. Carr, being perfectly satisfied with the restoration of her property, particularly the gold seals, one of which had been recently sent to her by Captain Carr from In dia, was therefore unwilling to appear against the pri soner, and was not in attendance. Mr. Corrixotuot said that it was a very serious rob bery, and that such offences were very frequent, and it would be necessary to have the attendance of the lady to whom the purse and its contents belonged. The prisoner said that he regretted what had occurred; that he admitted he was wrong in keeping the purse, but that, having set down the lady at the corner of Gros vernor-street, and not knowing where she lived, he could not call at her house to make her acquainted with her loss. He added that, Mrs. Carr having promised not to press any charge against him on his returning her the property, he trusted that the Magistrate would not com pel that lady's attendance. Mr. COTTINGHAN said that, even if the prisoner was cognisant of the lady's residence, he knew very well that, as an honest man, he was bound to take any property left by mistake in his cab to Somerset House, where the owner would have an opportunity of having it restored. This, however, the prisoner did not do, and, for the sake of the public, he (the Magistrate) should compel Mrs. Carr to attend, observing that so serious a charge must not be allowed to be compromised ; therefore he should remand the prisoner until Wednesday. WANDS WORTH. Inspector Creed, of the V division, applied to the sitting magistrate for his advice and assistance under the following circumstances : Some time last summer a pier was thrown out near to the Red House, Battersea-fields, at the instance of the Westminster Steam-boat Company, to enable their boats to land and embark passengers. The consequence has been that Battersea-fields has become a favoured resort on the Sunday for some thousands of mechanics, their wives and children, the opportunity of reaching this spot being within the means of the most humble artizan. To afford amusement to the visitors, several persons have speculated in the letting out of horses and donkeys for " penny rides," and another person has laid out a considerable sum of money in the erection of a gigantic swing. It was to devise some means of putting down these " nuisances," as they were termed, that the Inspec tor waited on the magistrate. Mr. PAYNTER inquired if any complaint had ever been made to the police ? The inspector replied, several, and one of the complaining parties was Mr. Wright, the landlord of the Red House. Mr. PAYNTER wished to know if the ground upon which the donkey-riding took place was common land or private property? The inspector said it was private property, as was also the piece of ground where the swing is situated. Mr. PAYNTER—Then I have no power to interfere, and Id) not see why I should interfere. In no other country are the working classes restricted in their Sun day amusements, and I do not see, so long as those amusements are harmless in their character, that they should be in this. The gentry throng Rotten-row on Sunday in carriages and on horseback; then why is the same privilege to be denied the humble mechanic? The inspector said he should not have interfered but that some of the resident gentry made complaints. Mr. PAYNTER—Let the gentry, before they make those complaints, set the example of abstinence in their own persons. The worthy Magistrate concluded his ob servations by stating, that although he wished to see the humble classes allowed every means of recreation, yet he would not countenance any irregularity of conduct, either on their part or those who catered to their enjoy ments; therefore, if any complaints came before him, he would severely punish the culpable parties. KINGSTON. Before Captain ROBERTS, and a full Bench of Magis trates.) The Court was crowded on Saturday by persons anxious to hear the proceedings against a man named John Durdon, who had been apprehended by the po lice for keeping a gaming -booth at Hampton races, con trary to law, and in disobedience to the order recently issued by the Secretary of State, Mr. Allen, of the Oxford Circuit attended on behalf of the defendant. Henry Jackson, a police-constable of the V division, deposed that he was on duty at Hampton races on Thursday last, and in consequence of information be re ceived, he went round to the different booths, and, on going into one of them, a man, whom he knew by name, attempted to prevent him, and said there was no occa sion to go in, and asked him to go and have some sherry. Witness told him he wanted no wine, and that he should do his duty. Mr. Allen objected to what passed between the man and the witness, in the absence of the defendant, being given in evidence. He also remarked upon the nature of the proceeding. Captain Roberts observed that the Secretary of State had issued private instructions to put down gambling at races, and those instructions must be carried out. For his own part, he was glad to do all in his power to prevent the public from being robbed as they had been. Jackson then proceeded to state that, on his going into the booth, he saw a roulette table, and he observed the defendant turn the ball round, and several persons were present playing. (The table and a quantity of counters were here produced.) He took the defendant into custody, and also assisted to seize the table and the other implements used for the game. The witness then produced 174 counters. They were made of white metal, resembling silver, and on one side were the words, "Established 1800, D.G.," and on the other, "New Betting Rooms, Doncaster," and a repre sentation of the Grand Stand. He added that the ball was one of the same description usually employed for playing at roulette, As they were going to Kingston, the prisoner offered to give him two sovereigns if he would say nothing about gambling being carried on in the booth. By Mr. Allen—Believed that the ground on which the races were held was private property, but he did not know who it belonged to. The other man whom he had mentioned ran out of the booth, or he should have ap prehended him also for gambling. Captain WILLIAMS, to the witness—l believe the in structions issued by the Secretary of State were to ap prehend all persons found gambling in the booths ? Witness—Those were the instructions we received. By Mr. Allen—There were a great many booths, and some thousands of persons were present. There were stalls of all kinds, and forty or fifty booths, but not of the same kind as the one in which he saw the defendant. The last race was just over at the time. When they were going toKingston, the defendant said to him, " You did not see any gambling, did you ?" and he replied that he should decline to give any answer. It was after this that the money was offered to him. Robert Checkly, another police-constable, deposed that he went into the booth with the last witness, and he confirmed his testimony relative to the defendant being found working the roulette table. He saw the counters lying about in different parts of the table. Cross-examined by Mr. Allen—Witness was close to Jackson when he went into the booth. It was about two yards long and was covered on the top. The por tion of booth where the gambling was going on was parted off. He did not know who the race course be longed to. By Captain ROBERTS—CouId not say whether the gaming-booth was under a different canvas to the other. This was the case in support of the charge. Mr. Allen then addressed the Bench at considerable length, in behalf of the defendant, and after remarking upon the prejudice which usually attached to cases of this sort, he said the Magistrates had a very important and onerous duty cast upon them, inasmuch as they stood in the positien of both judge and jury, and he sub mitted that they ought not to convict except upon the strongest evidence. He then proceeded to contend that no conviction could take place under the Act of George the Fourth, commonly called the Vagrant Act, inasmuch as that only applied to cases of gambling on a public highway, and the evidence went to show that the race course was private property. If a party gambled upon his own land the magistrate had no power to interfere. The Learned Counsel then alluded to the New Police Act, which he contended was only intended to apply to fairs, and he went on to express his conviction that as the race-course was proved to be private property, the magistrate had no jurisdiction. Mr. Jemmet, clerk to the Bench, remarked that the Act gave very much greater powers than those sug gested by the Learned Counsel, and, among others, it provided a remedy for telling fortunes in private houses. Captain ROBERTS said that if the Bench entertained any doubt of their power and jurisdiction they would not act, but they did not entertain any such doubt. Mr. Allen then went on to contend that there must be some proof of parties having betted or played before there could be a conviction. In this case there was no such proof, and he, therefore, submitted that the offence contem plated by the statute had not been proved—there was not the slightest evidence that the defendant had either played or betted. The Magistates then considered the case, and, after they had consulted, The CHAIRMAN said the Bench had given their most serious consideration to the point that had been urged on behalf of the defendant, and they were clearly of opinion that the act was committed in a public place within the meaning of the statute ; and, as to the objection that there was no proof of the defendant's having played, they considered the circumstance of his being at the table and working the ball quite sufficient proof of that fact, and the circumstance of his finding the table, the cloth, and the counters, showed clearly that the parties were met to bet and gamble. The Bench therefore considered the offence proved, and adjudged the defendant to be imprisoned for month in the House of Correction. Mr. Allen gave notice of appeal. The roulette table and other gambling apparatus were ordered to be destroyed. QUEEN-SQUARE. A labouring man, named Win. Lloyd, was charged byWm Crispin, one of the officartt of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with cruelty to 'a horse. About 12 o'clock yesterday the defendant was driving a loaded cart in the Knightsbridge-road ; the horse's shoulders were raw in several places, which rendered it quite unfit for work. The defendant said that he was told by a farrier that the horse was fit for work. It certainly had several sores on its shoulders, which he thought would get hard, and ultimately well, by employing the animal two or three hours a day.— He was fined 20s. A little girl, apparently not - more than twelve years of age, but who was stated to be between fourteen and fifteen, named Elizabeth Cooke, was placed at the bar, charged with the fol lowing conduct : Miss Susannah Marshall, a milliner and dress-maker, car rying on business at No. 13, Chester-terrace, said the defen dant was apprenticed to her in February last, and that her parents, who reside in Broad-street, Golden-square, paid a premium of 151. with her. The girl's conduct was most ex traordinary. She was in the habit of placing her hands under her chin for several days together, and refusing to work, and when spoken to, stating that she had been work ing, and afterwards staring vacantly at her. She was also very insolent at times. On Thursday she refused to take an order to Berkeley-square before breakfast, though she was merely requested to de so at that early hour for the benefit of her health, which was not good. Witness had in formed her parents that she intended to bring her to this Court to-day, but they were not in attendance. The girl said that her mistress was very harsh to her, and beat her repeatedly. Miss Marshall denied that she ill-used the girl. She would willingly return the premium, if her parents would take her again, as she obstructed her in her business. Mr. BURRELL committed her to the House of Correction for ten days. The poor little creature did not at first comprehend the meaning of the decision of the M a gistrate ; when she did she burst into tears and implored forgiveness of her mistress, and was finally removed to one of the cells, where she cried bitterly. There was a vacancy about the expression of her face, which the Reporter thought denoted aberration of in tellect ; if so, the House of Correction and the terrors of a station-house cell are not the best asylums in which to place a child, perhaps afflicted with a constitutional malady which at times renders her insane. DREADFUL STEAM-BOAT COLLI , SION, NEAR GRAVESEND. TWO LIVES LOST. At an early , hour on the morning of Thursday, a collision, attended with a melancholy loss of life, occurred on the river in Sea Reach, eight miles below Gravesend, by the Ant werpen steam-ship, Captain Jackson, running down a fish ing-smack called the Maria, which, in consequence of the fearful character of the concussion, was literally dashed to pieces. The circumstances connected with the accident are of a most painful nature. The fishing-boat, which belonged to a Mr. Peneford, and was about twelve tons burthen, left Gravesend on Wednesday forenoon at high water, there being on board, besides Peneford, his apprentice, Abraham Wood, and two children named Williams, who were pro ceeding on the cruise for the benefit of their health, and whose parents reside in Crooked-lane, Gravesend. During the night they laid in Shell Haven, Sea Reach, and at four o'clock on the above morning they got under weigh and commenced fishing, as did many other vessels. At about six o'clock the Antwerpen was observed bearing up the river for London, the Maria then lying-to, about mid channel, the nets being set, and Peneford and his appren tice being about making a haul, the Antwerpen appa rently bearing down upon them. Peneford called out to those on board to port their helm, and from signs made by the mate, who was standing on the paddle-box, to the man at the helm, he thought it was attended to, but soon per ceived that the steamer had not altered her course, and his vessel would inevitably be run down. Both himself and his apprentice, who is a young man eighteen years of age, again shouted, but their cries were apparently not understood, and in a few moments the Antwerpen, which is one of the first class steam-ships, came on at full speed, and striking the Maria's stern, split her completely in two, and the sides passing under the paddle-boxes, the paddles completed the destruction of the smack, by hurling the halves in atoms. The crash attracting the attention of the crews of the different smacks fishing in the haven, they put about and made all haste to the assistance of the unfortu nate persons belonging to the Maria, and a boat from the Antwerpen was likewise immediately lowered ; but owing to the great way the steamer had on, by the time she was brought to, she had gained upwards of two hundred yards fr3m the spot where the collision occurred. For several minutes it was greatly feared that all had perished, but shortly Peneford and his apprentice were observed struggling for their lives. Peneford was at length picked up by a fisherman named Savage, and the apprentice was saved by the skiff belonging to the steamer. As may be imagined, they were both in a dreadful state of exhaustion, and Pene ford's exclamation was, " Where are the poor children ?" The boats continued searching amongst the floating pieces of wreck, but nothing was seen of them, having no doubt being killed instantly by the paddles of the steamer, as at the mo ment of striking they were both on deck. They are both boys, one 12, and the other 13 years of age. The accident has produced much sensation amongst the inhabitants at Gravesend. A reward has been offered for the finding of the bodies. CORONER'S INQUEST. Calm. CON.— Saturday a protracted inquiry was gone into before Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, and a highly respectable jury of gentlemen residing in the parish of St. Bride, in the Bridewell Hospital, New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, touching the death of Robert Milsom, otherwise John White, aged 35, a prisoner. Mr. John Ferrer, assistant surgeon to the Bridewell, deposed that the deceased was first brought under his notice about five weeks since. He was suffering from palpitation of the heart. From external appearances witness concluded that he was labouring under con siderable organic disease ; in consequence of which, witness ordered deceased not to work any longer at the mill. Medicines were given to deceased from time to time as he required them, but nothing alarming or fatal was apprehended until Friday morning last, when immedi ately after washing himself, he began to complain of giddi ness, and then fell down in a fit. Witness opened a vein in the arm and blood flowed freely, but de ceased did not recover in the least. He, therefore, applied mustard poultices to his feet, and friction to his body. Deceased, however, never rallied, but expired the same morning, at half-past eleven o'clock. A post mortem examination of the body, subsequently made, proved that the heart of deceased was diseased, which, having impeded the free circulation of the blood, had caused apoplexy. Samuel Lees, a prisoner, said he had been sleeping with the deceased for the last three weeks. During that period he had been exceedingly fretful, and he told the witness that on the Saturday before he was sent to prison he saw his wife with another man in the neigh bourhood of Newgate-market. Owing to the conduct of his wife he would sit for hours together in the work room and not exchange a single word with any one. On the night previous to his death be cried very much. On the following morning, however, he got up, and seemed in much better-spirits, and commenced dancing. Shortly afterwards he was in the act of combing his hair, when he fell down, saying at the time, " Sam ! Sam ! I am going." Witness ran forward and lifted him up, when he said he felt as if he was deficient in strength. A doctor came about twenty minutes after, but he died the same morning. The last words he ut tered were he wanted to see his wife. Deceased was by trade a weaver, but his father-in-law being a type-foun der, he took him into Messrs. Caslon's letter-foundry, in Chiswell-street where he learned the art of letter-cast ing. Deceased had some time since told witness that he was first sent to prison for refusing to support the chil dren of his wife, who was living with a master black smith. The CORONER having inquired if the wife was present, and being answered in the negative, said if the man had got into trouble through the misconduct of his wife, it was a pity she was not aware of it. The Foreman of the Jury inquired what the last wit ness had done ? The Governor (Captain Kincaid) re plied he had driven a cabriolet without a license. The CORONER (with great emotion)—lt is monstrous to send a man among thieves for that. A juror—What is his sentence for driving a cab without a license ? The Goveraor—One month. He has been here before for the same offence. A juror—Here is a man sent to prison, and obliged to associate with thieves and abandoned characters for a month, because he tries to earn a livelihood for himself and family, he being, perhaps, too poor to pay for a license. George Deveraux, one of the turnkeys, said that de ceased was admitted on the 22d of April, having been convicted at the Mansion-house, and sentenced to three months, for attempting to commit a felony in Tower street, City. He told witness that his wife was living with another man, and that she was the cause of his leading a dishonest life. A messenger was, at the request of the worthy Co roner, dispatched in a cab to Mr. Caslon's, requesting the attendance of the wife's father. On his arrival he admitted that his daughter was cohabiting with another man, but had not for any length of time. Other evidence having been adduced, the Coroner summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of" Natural death from apoplexy, arising from a disease of the heart." GARRISON ORDER AGAINST REPEAL BUTTONS.— A curious illustration of the practical working of this petty act of coercion occurred this morning. The Surgeon of the 11th Hussars drove up in a hack car to breakfast with Gen. Wyndham. The sentinel at the Barrack •gate peremptorily refused to admit him. " Don't you know me ?" said the astonished Surgeon. " Yes, Sir," the sentinel replied, " but don't you see the driver has a repeal button at his breast." The surgeon, having no alternative, got off the vehicle, and having paid his fare, walked the remainder of his journey.-- Dublin Evening Post. THE MARSHALSEA PRISON.—These premises have been recently purchased, and are now fully occupied by willing and free residents, instead of, as formerly, being the tempo rary abode of many unfortunate victims to the laws of im prisonment for debt. The front, formerly the Governor's residence, is now a handsome draper's shop, and the tenants of the twenty-six houses gain access by Angel-court, which runs by the side of the old wall, part of which has been pulled down for their accommodation. No name has yet been given to it, but it is intended to call it Marshalsea square, or Palace-place. DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA.—On Friday, Mr. Higgs held an inquest at St. George's Hospital, on the body of Charles Evans, aged 14. Mrs. Mary Dunderdale, No. 2, Lisson-street, Lisson-grove, said deceased was an orphan she had brought up. Six weeks ago a mongrel dog, belonging to a neighbour ' named Rudland, bit him in the hand. The wound healed, but is she was washing him on Tuesday last he exclaimed, " Oh, do not wash me ; take the water away." Mr. Gillespie, a surgeon who saw deceased, said he was labouring under hydrophobia, and advised his removal to that • hospdal, which was done. Mr. Bannister, house-surgeon, said deceased was admitted with decided symptoms of hydro phobia, that he lingered in great agony, and expired on Thursday. Mr. Rudland, the owner of the dog, said he ex hibited no symptoms of madness before he bit deceased. As soon as he had done so witness tied him up, and he died in two days afterwards. By a Juror—l paid no tax for the dog. The Juror--I think the evasion of the dog tax a very great , evil; and it is so easily evaded in London, that almost every I one, gentle and simple, h as a d o g. They are allowed to I wander about the streets, to the manifest danger of the pub lic, and I think the Government ought to be memorialised, to cause the tax collectors to be more rigid in the taxing of these animals. Verdict, "Died of hydrophobia. THE WEATHER IN SCOTLAND.—We still continue to be visited at intervals with copious and refreshing showers. The sun likewise shines forth occasionally with warmth and brightness, and altogether the weather is everything that could be desired.--Glasgo w Courier. STATE OF TRADE. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JUNE 14.—There has been more business done this week in combing and clothing Wools, and a better tone of feeling prevails, but prices are not yet such as to afford a profit on the rates asked and obtained by the farmers. WAKEFIELD, JUNE 14.—We do not make any alte ration in our report of the Wool market this week; sales in all kinds are limited, but prices are firm. YORK, JUNE 13.—There was a large quantity of Wool exhibited in our market to-day, and a very numerous attendance of buyers also. Considerable business has been transacted ; nearly every lot was sold, with little variation in price. The best lots of Hog and Ewe, 14s. to 14s. 6d. One Third Hog, 13s. to 13s. 9d. Locks, Bs. to 9s. 6d per stone. HULL.—The wool season in this town may be said to have commenced on Tuesday last, that being the first day upon which any English wool of this year's growth was offered, and the quantity was by no means equal to the demand ; the prices averaged I Id. per lb. As events have turned out, it appears unfortunate that the wish expressed last year to commence the wool fair a fortnight earlier than usual, should have been acceded to, for. the weather being for a long time cold, though dry, caused the farmers generally to delay shearing ; during the last fortnight, however, clipping has been at its height, and a great weight of wool is known to be in process of packing. The prospect of en early har vest, also, will induce all possible expedition with re spect to this article, and we fully expect that buyers during the next month will find the market much better supplied. LEEDS.—There continues to be a very thin supply of balk goods brought to our cloth-halls, particularly of low qualities, suitable for the shipping houses ; such at present meet ready sale. There has also been a fair quantity of shawls and fancy cloakings, delivered to order during the week. On the whole there continues to be a full average business doing, as compared to tee same period of the season of the last few years. The American houses still continue busy, but the spring season being nearly over, and too soon for speculation for the autumn demand, there has in consequence been but little doing in the warehouses of those who depend solely on the home trade. BRADFORD MARKET.—Pieces are moved off in fair quantities, and the business doing at this period is fully an average of former seasons. Yarns are now assuming a degree of firmness in price, and more disposition to buy than for some time past, which augurs more favour ably for the future. The opening of the different wool markets at York, Doncaster, &c., for the season, some what obstructs the buyers who for a long time have been doing but little here, which causes the demand for comb ing wools to continue languid, and prices barely main tained. The improvement at the recent colonial sales has tended to somewhat improve the demand for fine brokes and noils, and for which recent prices are fully main tained. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have not had so much doing in cloth this week as many anticipated ; and though large quantities are buyinu: for India and China, still the production seems to exceed the demand, and in consequence manufacturers are disposed to accept rather less money than on this day se'nnight. Good printing cloth is fully as dear, and the demand very good. Domestics are rather lower, and not quite so much doing in them. Twist is selling pretty freely, at prices not quotably different from those rated last week.—Leeds Mercury. RAILWAY RETURNS.

We cannot look about us without encountering in dications of their general diffusion. They may be seen in the improvements in our streets and highways—in the ornaments of our public buildings—in the sites of our private residences—in the arrangements of our shops and bazaars —and even in our newspaper advertisements. The majority of respectable tradesmen have now good taste enough to feel ashamed of having their names as sociated with those pictorial daubs of business, or shop front signs, which are in the course of abandonment even by the venders of quack medicines. Nor let it be consi dered as stepping out of our province if we editorially no tice this growing improvement in public taste, and raise our voice in hearty and encouraging approbation of it. Good taste is nearly akin to good mot als ; and, so surely as the taste of any people improves, so surely may be traced among them a diminution of the grosser offences against society. The man who is capable of extracting delight from a highly finished picture, or from the forms of beauty and grace developed in a piece of sculpture, has within the elements of many social virtues.—Hull Advertiser.
