JURY. The cloth having been removed, " The people," " The Queen," &c., were given by the Chairman with appro priate observations, and responded to by the company. The CHAIRMAN then gave the healths of Lords Den man, Cottenham, and Campbell, and in doing so took an opportunity of adverting to the great question which these Noble Lords had to decide upon. He contended that they were clearly right in their judgment, seeing that the grounds upon which Mr. O'Connell and his co conspirators were sent to prison-was in respect to counts which were declared to be bad even by the judges of this country. He particularly eulogised the judgment of Lord Denman, in consequence of that nobleman's vindi cation of the independence of juries, and said that two things were now established by the judgment of the House of Peers, namely, that it was not a crime for men to meet in large masses to petition against an admitted grievance, and that in order to a jury being a good one, the list from which it was to be selected must not be tampered with.—(llear, hear.) The toast was drunk with enthusiasm. The CIIAMMAN then gave the health of Mr. O'Connell and the other State prisoners, and full and complete justice to Ireland ; and in doing so said that the whole course of Mr. O'Connell's life, as a politician, had been straightforward and consistent. He commenced by ap plying the powers of his great mind to the emancipation of his Catholic countrymen from religious disabilities, and he was now using his best energies to make his country what it ought to be—a happy and contented por tion of the empire. This was an honest and legitimate object, and one in which any man might be proud to be engaged, and sure he was that no Englishman would tamely stand by and see a man attempted to be crushed for such exertions, without entering his protest against the attempt ; and, if necessary, lending his best aid to make such an attempt ineffective.—( Applause.) " Trial by Jury"—the health of Mr. I)uncombe. M.P. —Sir Thomas Wilde, and the other Counsel engaged for the Traversers—" The Press," and other appropriate toasts, were given and responded to ; and the evening was most agreeably spent. A great many new members were proposed and admitted members of the Ancient and Honourable Society of " Cog,ers," who severally returned thanks for the honour. IRELAND. NATIONAL BANQUET TO MR. O'CONNELL. DUBLIN, SEPT. 10.—The following notification has been issued : " At a meeting of the friends of repeal, held on the 6th instant, W. S. O'Brien, Esq., M.P., in the chair, it was reso l ve d th at O'Connell, and his late fellow-captives, should be entertained at a public banquet, in commemoration of their liberation from their recent unjust imprisonment. " The banquet will accordingly take place in Dub lin, on Thursday, the 19th of September, 1844. " By order of the Managing Committee, " JOHN L. ARABIN, (Lord Mayor Elect) Secretaries." " JAMES O'IIEA. It is likely that the banquet will take place in the Rotundi, or in the King's-room, in the Mansion house. POPULAR REJOICINGS IN THE COUNTRY. GALWAY, SEPT. 9.—The most enthusiastic joy per vaded all classes here yesterday, on the receipt of the intelligence of the reversal of the judgment. There was a numerous meeting of the inhabitants in the square, at which Francis Comyn, Esq. (Woodstock), presided, and the Right Rev. Dr. Browne, now Bishop of El phin, and many of the leading gentry and traders were present. All the trades were dressed and had their flags and banners. Little Christopher French, the grandson of the Liberator, was out to see the sport. When the people got a sight of him they would have him with them. They brought him to the Parent Temperance-room, placed him in the President's chair, and cheered him. They then took him out, had the handsome chair covered with crimson cloth, carried on their shoulders, and the rine little fellow was placed in it. They carried him in triumph through the town. Whilst sitting at the club-house window we saw the procession pass by, and little Christopher in the chair, waving his hat, and huzzaing for " O'Con nell and Ireland." If he were forty years of age he could not have acted in a more manly way. They took him back to his residence, and he then returned them thanks for himself and his grandfather. They have invited him this evening to a soiree which lie is to attend. Craysisine SEPT. B.—ln thi s i m p or t an t commer cial town th e popular manifestation at the triumphs of O'Connell was the most enthusiastic we ever wit nessed. The people seemed almost wild with joy. But all was order, and the Conservative party are loud in their praises of the moderation of the people. Bonfires and other demonstratiims took place on Friday night. Every hill was blazing. The illumi nations last night were on the most splendid scale. The people were advised that Mr. O'Connell wished that the slightest insult would not be given to any of the opposite party, nor the least offence committed on any house that was not lighted. This advice was acted on to the letter. A few of the Conservatives appeared apprehensive that some outrage might be committed. Up to half past eight o'clock, this feeling was predominant. Some of them, about that hour, ventured amongst the people ; they saw that there was not the slightes indi cation on the part of the people to annoy ; they went for their families, and almost every COnservative in town paraded the streets until after eleven o'clock. About nine o'clock several of the Conservatives— W. J. Leg4e, Mr. Harvey, Dr. Collett, Messrs. Prosser, Patterson, and Ferguson ; Mr. Bradford, Mr. David Hughes, and Dr. Malone, were seen busily engaged in preparing to light their houses. Ohl It WM a scene worthy the Liberator, to behold such a commingling of feeling; in fact, all parties were vieing with each other, in seeking terms of gratulation at the happy prospect that the results of last night would bring about. Mr. M--, a respectable Conservative, joined us in the Main-street; he exclaimed, " Can I believe my senses? no insult, no injury; if I was told on last night that I could walk the streets with safety, I would not believe it. This night (said he) lays the foundation for a state of things that I never dreamed of. If one were sure that the conduct of the people would be such at all times as it is this night, I, for one—and I may speak for the rest of the Conserva tives in this locality . —would be repealer's." There was not one drunken man to be seen. Diocese OF CLOGHF.R.—Te Deum was sung on Sunday last in all the Catholic churches of this exten sive diocese by desire of the Right Rev. Doctor M'Nally, Bishop of Clogher, in thanksgiving for the liberation of Mr. O'Connell and his fellow-sufferers. LEITRIM, SEPT. 7.—Our hills were all covered with bonfires, for the triumph of constitutional law had in the case of our beloved Liberator. COUNTY or Coax. —The Cork Examiner of yes terday contains detailed reports of the rejoicings in Kinsale, Mallow, Charleville, Fermoy, Kanturk, Newmarket, Middleton, Passage, and various other towns in this Yorkshire of Ireland. There were illu minations and bonfires in all directions ; bands playing through the streets, and the people, although in ecsta cies at the glorious news, conducted themselves in the most orderly manner. The Examiner thus closes its report: —" This morning's western coaches have brought us accounts from our various correspondents, of the popular rejoicings on Saturday night. Clona kilty was brilliantly illuminated, and the streets were traversed by bands all night—tar-barrels blazed in cessantly. The same enthusiasm was manifested in the patriotic town of Skibbereen. The sea coast from Courtmasherry to Dunmanus was in one blaze of light. Bantry had its rejoicings, and the ancient borough of Bandonbridge contributed its quota of tar-barrels. In the latter town disturbances were apprehended from the Orangemen, but the night passed off quietly." POPULAR COMPLIMENT TO LORD CAMPBELL.—One of the most remarkable circumstances connected with the procession in Dublin on Saturday was the ap pearance, in one of the carriages of the Trades, of two Highland pipers, in their national costume, who continued to play, during the whole procession, the well-known air of " Toe Campbells are co fling"— this bei ng i ntended as a marked compliment to Lord Cam bell, one e f th e t h ree law Lords who have saved the British C onstitution by the reversal of the iniqui tous Judgment. DEFENCE OF THE IRISH COAST. The following strange a nnouncement appears in o the Cork Examiner I yester lay Great activitythe putting them in a proper state of defence. At Cam den Fort long swivel g uns of large calibre are in the co urse of mounting, and som e furnaces have also been built to heat balls and shells." The following paragraph appears in the same journal :—" Three of the transports, whi c h have been waiting in Cove for the last month, sailed on satur day for India, and three more, the Coromandel, E arl of llardwick, and Harbinger, followed them this morning. The loss to the several tradesmen who had contracted to supply the troops will be enormous in consequence of the departure of those vessels without their freights. One victualler in Cove, it is said, will lose 501. by the provisions which he had prepared for them being Jeft on his hands." IRISH LAW CHANGES. The Evening Post of this afternoon states that Chief Justice Pennefather was in London on Satur- day last, with the object, according to report, of ten dering his resignation to the Premier, who had been so suddenly hurried to Drayton Manor by the me lancholly intelligence of the illness of Miss Peel. The same journal contains the following : " JUDGE BURTON.—It is said that this venerable judge retires from the bench in a month or two. He will leave behind 11 - m the character of an amiable man and a sound,lawyer, notwithstanding his sanction of the sixth and seventh counts of the monster in dictment." The Post adds that the Attorney-General is spoken 1 making myself master of ; their cross fire cut off the r of for a judgeship, and asks, " Can this be possible?" communications of the town with these forts. Under REGISTRY or MARRIAGES.—The office of Regis this protection, Commandant Hernoux and Captain E. trar-General under the new Act for the regulation of Bouet headed a column of 600 men for lauding. But everything had been deserted at our approa c h, a nd the Presbyterian marriages, has been conferred upon William Donnelly, Esq. landing was e ff ec t e d w ith ou t res i stance . All t h a t re mained to be done was to complete the work of destruc tion which had been commenced. The result of the day was the spiking of the guns, and throwing them over the ramparts, the demolition of the embrasures, the inundation of the powder-stores, and the taking away three standards and nine or ten bronze guns as trophies. I have left entire the vast warehouses of the customs, which are full of merchandise of all kinds ; we must otherwise have burned them, and I was afraid that the fire might reach too rapidly the immense stores of powder and shells in the casemates of the forts. I then sent back the troops and the crews. We were masters of the island and fort ; the town batteries were no longer to be feared, and I considered our operation as termi nated. After our departure the town, being without defence, was taken by the Kabyles of the interior, who set fire to it. The sack of this unhappy town is com plete—the inhabitants have fled in all directions. In a few days there will remain of the beautiful Souerah, which Muley-Abderrhaman called his beloved town. only the walls, riddled with balls and blackened by fire. The lesson is a severe one. I will not name any person ; for to name all who did their duty with courage, intelli gence, and devotedness, would be to name everybody. I will merely call your attention to the families of the men who were killed and to the future fate of the wounded, and also to the comfort of all who, at the sole name of France, hare so nobly accepted the hard duty of keeping garrison in the island of Mogadore." A postcript to this report, dated the 25th, says . " On the 23d our establishment on the island was completed, and I sent away to Cadiz a part of the aqua drop. In the course of the day a gun was fired from one of the towers of the town commanding the country, and the ball having fallen in the midst of us in the port, we destroyed with shells the houses near the tower. I then sent Lieutenant Touchard, the chief of my staff, with 160 men, to fix scaling ladders against the tower. The detachment scaled the wall without opposition, and spiked the last gun that could play upon us. From the height of the tower the town could be seen ; it appeared deserted and horribly devastated. This operation, which was not absolutely necessary, has had the advan tage of showing the garrison of the island that, with its own forces and the resources of the local station, it keeps the town completely at its mercy." MR. O'CONNELL AND TRIAL BY ®On Wednesday a dinner took place at Cogers'-hall, to celebrate the great principle involved in the reversal of the judgment by the llou , e of Lords in the case of " O'Connell and others v. the Queen," especially as re garded the sacred character of tho jury list. The attendance was such as to prove that the feeling of the public generally sympathised in the reversal of the judg ment in question, for the room was crowded to excess. The company consisted chiefly of the gentlemen who take an active part in the politics of the district of St. Bride's—a pretty good proof that if the opportunity were afforded, many thousands of the citizens of London would have been happy to manifest their feelings in the same way. Mr. Wood occupied the chair ; and Mr. W. R. Williams, one of the members of the Common Council for the ward of Farringdon Without, offiPiated as Vice-chairman. Amongst the gentlemen present we noticed Mr. Low, Mr. Gurney, Mr. Burnard, Mr. Bur nett, Mr. James, Secretary to the Middlesex Reform Registration, &c. OTAIIEITE. The Moniteur publishes the following return of the vessels which touched at the harbour of Papeiti (Ota heite) in 1843 : FOREIGN MOVEMENTS. Rear-Admiral Sir T. Cochrane, the Commander-in • Chief in China, returned to Hong-Kong on the 2d of June, from his visit of inspection to the northern ports, and re-hoisted his flag on board the Agincourt, 72, Cap tain Bruce. The fleet in that quarter was comparatively healthy, and great care is taken to keep it so. The Driver steam-sloop, Commander C. 0. Hayes, with Sir H. Pottinger and suite, sailed from Hong• Kong on the 20th June, and arrived at Bombay on the 29th July. The Driver had been at the Bogue, with the Castor, 36, Captain Graham, and the Spiteful steam sloop, Commander Maitland, with Mr. Davis and Sir H. Pottinger, to visit the Chinese Imperial Commissioner. The Vixen steam-sloop, Commander Giffard, left Hong-Kong on the 28th May, the Serpent, 16, sloop, on the 31st May, and the Cambrian, 36, Commodore Chad; on th• 16th June, for India. These three vessels are on their way to England to be paid off. The Cambrian touches at Whampoa, for specie. The Fox, 44, Com modore Sir H. M. Blackwood, Bart., will relieve the Cambrian in India. The Agincourt, 72, Capt. Bruce, with the flag of the Commander-in-Chief; the Minden, 20, hospital ship, Capt. M. Quin; the Castor, 36, Capt. Graham; the Dido, 20; the Pelican, 16; Wolverine, 16; the Wolf, 18; the Spiteful, steam-sloop, and the lion. Company's steam vessel Proserpine, were at Hong-Kong on the 20th June. It was rumoured that the Castor would be stationed at Chusan for protection of British interests and subjects in the northern ports, and that the Dido, with the Spiteful steam-sloop, is to proceed to Borneo to demand redress for the late outrages and the liberation of European prisoners, There are two other foreign squadrons in the Chinese seas—American and French. The American squadron in China, under command of Commodere Parker, con sisting of the frigate Brandywine, sloop St. Louis, and brig Perry ; they are all fine vessels, but not superior to our own. At present they rendezvous at Macao. The French frigate Cleopatra, Commodore Ceceille, is in that harbour ; she is a frigate of the first class, and appears in fine order. Her consort, the Alcmene, is at Shanghae. The rest of the French squadron ha►e not yet reached Chins. ASCENSION, JULY 13.—The Tortoise, guard and store ship, for this island, Commander Finiaison, has arrived here, from St. Helena, with a large supply of water. SIR WILLIAM FOLLRTT.—It was with much plea sure we announced last week that intelligence received from the Continent indicated a considerable improve ment in the health of this gentleman, whose estimation by the public has made him as much respected as the appreciation by his friends has made him beloved. The frequent recurrence of illness at a period when his high standing, so honestly earned, has apparently opened to him a wide career of usefulness, has been a source of much regret. The origin of his indisposition is of a singular character, and has not, we believe, hitherto been made known. While at school, in Devonshire, on a fine autumnal day, when the evident approach of a gloomier season makes us appreciate more highly the genial sunshine of present enjoyment, three youths sallied forth on a school-holiday for a long ramble in the woods and copses which deck that most p'ctureaque of all the southern counties of England. A plentiful supply of blackberries, with which the hedge rows abounded, delighted the palates of the strollers ; and present appetite having been allayed, if not satiated, the hat of one of the party was devoted to tire accumulated store, and their steps were turned homeward. An acci dental separation in the ramble left the one in charge,of the commissariat department to pursue his sourter alone ; and he, to beguile the way and lighten his load, made serious inroads on the stock in reserve. The result was, that poor Follett, for he it was, fell under an attack of illness so severe, that his removal from school became necessary ; and although careful nursing and the devoted attention of his relatives enabled him at length to resume his studies at home, and subsequently to remove to col lege, it was long before his health was re-established, and his constitution never appears to have recovered wholly from the unfortunate circumstance.—Berwick and Kebo Warder. CHATHAM, SEPT. 11.—The three experimental 12-gun brigs , which were launched f rom thi s d ockyard in the month of April last, were put into commission yesterday. The Mutine, by R. B. Crawford, Esq., commander ' • Cruiser, Edward G. F ans h awe, E sq., com mander ; and the Espeigle, by J. P. Thompson, Esq., commander. Each of the commanders this morning hoisted their pendants, and issued public notice that they are ready for entering petty officers and able seamen. The Royal Marines, selected from the first division at Chatham, embarked from the Dockyard-stairs this morn in; at one o'clock. The strength for each ship consists of colour sergeant, one drummer, one corporal, and seventeen privates. Not any officer embarks. The depot of the 53d Regiment, which has recently sailed for India, consisting of about 150 men, with upwards of 50 women and children, arrived here from Manchester and joined the Provisional Battalion. The depot having brought with them a greater number of women than allowed by the rc gulations of the service, caused the officer in command to refuse the over-number of women accom modation in the barracks, and they were therefore turned out. The women, with their families, being total strangers to the place, knew not where to seek for shelter for the night, and they had recourse to the Medway Union workhouse, where the whole of them were taken in on Saturday night last. Troops for Ireland—There is no truth whatever in the report of two regiments having been sent from this garrison on Saturday night, by two steamers, for Ireland. WINDSOR, WRDNESDAT.—At a late hour last night an order was received from the office of the Lord Cham berlain for the State apartments to be re-opened to the public this day, at eleven o'clock; but in consequence the expected arrival of the King of the French at the Castle, upon a visit to her Majesty, they will necessarily be closed on some days of the week for the extensive preparations to be made fur his Majesty's reception. During the period they will remain open, the public will not be admitted on Tuesdays or Fridays. The effect of the guard-chamber, St. George's hall, the grand ball-room, the throne-room, the grand vestibule, and the Waterloo-gallery, is considerably heightened by the carpets being left down, and nearly the whole of the furniture being still in those apartments, which were in use at the christening of the infant prince. ThQ two elevated sideboards in St. George's-ball, at either end of the spacious apartment, upon which were displayed the magnificent tankards, cups, shields, &c., at the Royal banquet on Friday evening, and also the banqueting table, still re main. The portion of the State apartments which will be devoted to the - exclusive use of his Majesty'the King of the French will be the Queen's closet, the King's drawing-room, the King's closet, the council-chamber, and theante-throne-room. This is the only portion of the State appartments which have at present been ar ranged to be appropriated for the use of the French Monarch. His Majesty will sleep in the apartment known as the Queen's closet, in which is the superb :hate bed of George the Fourth when Prince of Wales. This room was alto used as the dormitory of the King of Prussia during the visit of his Majesty to the Queen at the period of the christening of the Prince of Wales. The remains of the lion. and Very Rev. George Core, Dean of Killala, son of the second Earl of Arran, were interred in Swinford Church, Mayo. The late I lion. and R ev . G ent l eman was i n hit 70th year. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE EXPERIMENTAL BRIGS—The pennants of the Daring, 12, Commander Matson, and the Waterwitch, 10, Li. utenant-Commander Wilson, at Portsmouth, were hoist( d on Monday, and that of the Flying Fish, 12, Commander Harris, on Tuesday morning. The Daring and Waterwitch were taken out of the basin at Ports mouth on Tuesday morning, and are now lying at anchor in Portsmouth harbour. Both these brigs are fast getting their complement of hands. The Mutine, 12, Commander Crawford ; the Espiegle, 12, Commander Thompson; and the Cruizer, 16, Com mander Fanshawe, at Chatham, hoisted their pennants on Tuesday afternoon, their respective commanders having arrived at that port. They will go into dock to day and following days to have their coppers cleaned previously to proceeding to sea. Those at Chatham are expected to leave that port the latter end of the week. As we have before stated, the 12-gun brigs are to have a complement of 110 each. INTERMENT OF CAPTAIN FISHER. The African, steam-tug vessel, returned to Sheerness, from Ramsgate, on Friday. She landed the remains of Captain Fisher at that port on Wednesday, whence they were conveyed to Deal in a hearse, and interred on Thursday morning at Waltner. THE ADVANCED SHIPS.—The Pembroke, 72, was taken out of the basin, at Portsmouth, on Tuesday morning, and is now alongside the jetty. The Mo narch, 84, at Sheernes-, was taken out of dock on Tues day, and the London, 92, was hauled into the basin to be masted. The Dwarf, steam-vessel, at Portsmouth, Lieutenant- Com. Chamberlain, was taken out of the basin at the same time as the Pembroke. The Raven, cutter, Lieutenant-Com. Stephen, left Sheerness, for Portsmouth, on Saturday, with super numerics. The Beagle, late surveying vessel, was hauled out of dock, at Sheerness, on Monday, having h: id her bottom unstripped of copper, and covered with a mixture of Jeffer)'s marine glue and coal tar. The Speedwell, tender to the Blazer steam-vessel, has lately been in dock at Sheerness, and had the marine glue, with which her bottom was lined, scraped off, the composition not having been found to answer, from the immense quantity of weed, &c., which was attached to it. She was doubled and coppered. The Fortitude, late convict hulk, at Chatham, is or. dered to be fitted as a coal depOt at that porn, and the Defence, 72, for a hulk. The Camel lighter, Faber master, left Devonport Tuesday morning, with a detachment of the 44th Regi ment, to relieve that at Pendennis Castle. The Tortoise, lighter, arrived at Devonport, from the coast of Ireland, on Monday evening. The Rochester, lighter, Grundy master, arrived at Chatham on Monday with stores from Devonport. There are in Sheerness Basin—Monarch, 84; Ama zon, corvette; Crocodile, troop-ship; and Vulture, steam frigate. In Dock—Vernon, 50; and Herald, 26. DOCKYARD SCHOOL AT SHEERNESS.—The school for the apprentices was opened on the 19th ult. Mr. John Drew is appointed schoolmaster, at a salary of 601. per annum. The boys assemble in the school-room at half past four, wash and have tea, for which they are allowed half an hour, then commence with writing, reading, arithmetic, geography, geometry, drawing, &c., finish ing by seven P.M. The number attending is 110. &PE RANNUATIONS.—Thomas Howard, third leading man of the store-house, has been superannuated from Chatham dockyard on a pension of 45/. 10s. per annum; and John Crowhurst, shipwright, from the same estab lishment, on a pension of 251. per annum. George H. Davies, joiner, of Devonport Dockyard, has been super annuated on a pension of 241. per annum ; and Richard Beast, hired joiner, has been established, vice Davies. ► LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 11. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) TREGEAR AND LEWIS'S BANKRUPTCY. In this case the bankrupts carried on business as music and picture dealers in Cheapside, and to-day was appointed for their final examination. However, as further accounts were required, which the Court ordered to be made out, en adjournment for a few we:ks was agreed to for their preparation. A number of insolvent cases were heard before Commissioners Fonblanque and Fane, but, like the others which have preceded them for the last fortnight, they contained not a fact worth reporting. SEPTEMBER 12. (Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.) There were a great number of cases of insolvency upon the paper this day, but the greater part of them were unopposed, and the others contained nothing of general interest. IN THE MATTER OF PETER CLARK. The insolvent, who applied for his final order, was opposed by Mr. Sturgeon on behalf of a creditor, Mr. Bean, for the amount of 24/. lOs. The Learned CouNsEL said he was instructed to op pose the insolvent, on the ground that the debt with Mr. Bean had been contracted under a misrepresentation. As the better mode of testing the case, he would at once question the insolvent. Mr. HORRY objected that, by the spirit of the Act, the insolvent was not to be subjected to a second examination without the creditor first showing cause why he should be so. It was to be inferred that he had satisfied his Honour and the creditors at his first examination. The objection was overruled by the Learned Com missioner, and the insolvent was examined. He had been a French-polisher, but as by the operation of the income-tax famil►es had been obliged to retrench their expenses be was In consequence thrown out of employ ment. Under these circumstances he commenced silk weaving, and was recommended to the opposing creditor for th• raw material. He dealt with him some time, paying various sums from week to week, until at last, in consequence of a lot of goods proving unsaleable, he was obliged to stop payment. He denied that he had repre sented to Mr. Bean that he held leases of certain pro perties, or was in possession of valuable pictures.—The final order was granted. SHERIFFS' COURT, Sept. 12. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCMELL and Common Juries.) CORDER V. CAMPBELL AND WIFE. Mr. Baldwin appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Charnock for the defendants. This was an action to recover the sum of 12/. 15s. for work and labour done under the following circumstances: —The plaintiff is a portrait painter, residing and car rying on his profession at No. 7, Queen's-row, Pimlico. The defendant is a publican, varying on business at the Yorkshire Grey, Cheyne-walk, Chelsea. In the summer of 1843 the wife of the defendant, then Mrs. Gould, a widow, and then the proprietress of the Old Swan, Chelsea, employed the plaintiff to paint her own portrait, her daughters, and that of her late husband, which he was to enlarge from a small miniature portrait of him in her possession. The work, it appeared, was performed in workmanlike manner, with the exception of the por trait of the lady, which she stated was " too fat," and that she "wanted to be made a little thinner." The defence was that Mrs. Gould was not married to her present husband (the defendant) after the commence ment of the action, and not until aftcr the portraits were finished and in her possession. After considerable dis cussion, the Learned Under-Sheriff suggested that a verdict should be entered for the plaintiff, with liberty to enter a nonsuit. The parties, having consulted, a verdict was entered acecordingly. WHALERS. French, 6, measuring 2,371 tons, with crews of 183 men, and laden with 10,200 barrels of oil, estimated at 106,040 dollars. American, 59, measuring 19,556 tons, with crews of 1,728 men, laden with 106,200 barrels of oil, wort 1,567,800 dollars.

Total, 19, measuring 3,906 tons, and with 234 men. COASTERS. 12 vessels, measuring 302 tons, and with 61 men. The Hull and Gateshead papers give encouraging ac'ounts of the prosperity of the shipping interest. EXPERIMENTS IN WOOLWICH MARSHES, SEPT. 12. —Lieut.-Col. Dansey, C. 8., and Lieut.-Col. Chalmer, with a detachment of the Royal Artillery under the command of Capt. llennis, assembled in the marshes, at half-past one o'clock, P.M., to carry on experiments with Mr. Marsh's concussion shells. There were fifteen shells fired on this occasion, five of them 68-pounders, and ten 32-pounders. Two of the 32-pounders burst on entering the bulkhead, six in the mound immediately after passing through the bulkhead ; one exploded at from 40 to 50 feet high, having taken an upward direction after striking the base of the mound, and one did not burst, having en tered the mound to a considerable depth. The first 68- pounder shell went through the bulkhead, and burst im mediately after, in the mound ; the second burst in the bulkhead; the third burst in the bulkhead; the fourth did not burst, having entered the mound without touching the bulkhead ; and the fifth burst with tremendous effect in the bulkhead, tearing to pieces the iron bolts, three quarters of an inch square, which held the timbers to gether, and throwing forward two feet six inches at one end of the bulkhead, and six inches at the other end, seven strong pieces of oak made to represent the side of a ship, each piece twelve inches square and thirty feet long. The range was peculiarly favourable for practice; the experiments did not occupy above three-quarters of an hour, and the loading and firing less than twenty minutes of that period; but the destruction was awful, and greater than any . we have ever witnessed, show ing that it would be impossible for ships to resist the destructive power of these missiles. The experiments were made to ascertain if Mr. Marsh's invention of at taching caps with marine glue would carry a long range of 800 yards, and proved that they could be made avail able for any distance with certainty of effect, and no danger to those using them. Among the numerous English travellers who are now passing through Paris, led towards Madrid by the comparatively quiet state of Spain, is Mr. C. Cochrane, the gentleman whom our readers may recollect as having performed some years ago the chivalrous undertaking of making a tour through England with hi§guitar in guise of a Spanish minstrel, the proceeds of which he handed over to the fund for the relief of the Spanish refugees, at that time raising in London. For this handsome gift, amounting to 60/., Mr. Cochrane received a letter of kindly acknowledgments from her Majesty the Queen Regent on behalf of her exiled subjects.—Galignani. THE CLERKENWELL IMPROVEMENTS.—Yesterday twenty more houses adjoining the area from which fifty houses have been removed above West-street, Smithfield, and which are to be taken down to make way for the new street from Farringdon-street to the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell, will be sold by auction, by order of the Clerkenwell Improvement Commissioners. The street will be about 1,450 feet in length (leading from West street to the back of the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell green), about 60 feet in width, and the houses on either side will have a depth of about 50 feet. ROYAL ARSENAL, WOOLWICII.—Within the last fortnight, a number of hands, to the extent of about twenty blacksmiths and a similar number of men for the carriage and the laboratory departments, have been en gaged to work from four to six months certain, to com plete the works in progress for rendering the vessels of war, and war steamers, and w or k s at t h e outports i n a perfect and efficient state, according to instructions emanating from the Lords Commissieners of the Admi ralty, and several workmen in these departments are still required to complete the order within a limited time. A report prevailed at the latter end of last week that the nineteen brass howitzers said to be missing, had been recast without being entered ; but a printed bill, subsequently issued, offering a reward of 1001. for in formation leading to the detection of the parties guilty of breaking them up or abstracting them from the Royal Arsenal, must remove any impression that they were recast for Government purposes without being entered on any of the books of the departments. The nineteen howitzers of 21 cwt. of brass or gun metal are not the only articles unaccounted for, as four Coehorns, a species of ordnance of the same kind of metal, and weighinweighingcwt each, were abstracted from the wh ar f of the Royal Arsenal some time ago, and although every search and inquiry was made relative to them, no information could ever be obtained to lead to their restoration, or the detection of the parties who must have removed them, whether for an innocent or felonious purpose. PERILOUS ADVENTURE. -On Saturday morning Last, a party of twelve individals, two of whom were women with children, set out from this harbour in a small boat, for the Lady Isle, where they intended to wind up the festivities of the race-week with a pic-nic on that fine little island. Here, according to their own account, they spent the day so pleasantly, that the shades of evening were within an hour or so of closing around them before they thought of steering their course home- I wards. Having ultimately left the island, the fog be i came so dense before they had proceeded any distance, that they lost all knowledge of their track ; and, after tryin g in vain to make the shore, they eventually gave themselves up to the mercy of the wind and waves. After beating about for several hours, in a state almost bor dering on di straction, they caught ' a glimpse of Pladda Lighthouse, which they succeeded in making after a good deal of exertion. They were most hospitably en tertained by the keepers ' • and as th e w i n d was unfit ' vourable during th e whole of Sunday, they were obliged to remain there till Monday morning, when they set sail, and reached this about mid-day. Their non-arrival on Saturday night created great sensation ; and a boat was dispatched to the Lady Isle on Sunday in search o f them ; but as it returned without having learned any thing whatever about them, the anxiety of their friends and relations became most intense. Indeed, before their all hope of seeing th em a li ve was en tirelyarriN given t up ; and when it . at lengsh became k nown that a like l b y o e a s t erday' that in which they set out was observed in the bay, the crowd that collected along the quay to witness their arrival was immense. —Ayr Observer. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER 13 1844. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. IVALEsBY, Deputy-Assistant Judge, and a full Bench of Magistrates.) The first September session under the recent Act for the better administration of criminal justice in the county of Middlesex commenced on Tuesday, at liicks's-hall, Clerkenwell.green before the Deputy.. Assistant Jud ge an d an unusually full bench of Ma gistrates. The calendar is numerically extremely heavy, con taining no fewer than 96 cases, of which 63 are in dictments for felony, whilst 33 are for misdemea nours, some of an important character. The grand jury having been sworn, The Deputy-Assistant JUDGE shortly addressed them. The cases which were disposed of in the course of he day did not offer any feature of public interest. During a temporary cessation, however, Mr. PRENDERGAST said he trusted his Lordship would permit him to make an application for the postponement of a case wherein the defendant was in dicted for a nuisance. The case was entitled " The Queen v. Thompson." The defendant was very ex tensively engaged as a brushmaker, and had a manu factory at Kentish-town. The prosecution was by a gentleman of the bar of the name of Pike. The affi davit upon which he made the present application dis closed several most important facts in reference to the circumstances of the case, and it was quite clear that as the prosecution had for its object the stoppage of his business, the proceedings were a life or death matter so far as the defendant was concerned. There was this singular fact, too, connected with the ewe— that it was the first instance in which a brushmaker had been prosecuted for carrying on his trade. No brushmaker had until now ever been indicted for a nuisance. The ground upon which he moved for a postponement of the case was the absence of a mate rial witness. The Learned JUDGR asked whether there could be any objection to a postponement ? Mr. HORRY, who appeared on behalf of the prose cution, said there were very powerful objections. Mr. PRENDERGAST begged to direct the attention of the Learned Judge to the fact, that had the late statute been still in force, the case could not have been tried until the adjournment day, which would have fallen just about the period at which the next ses sion would commence, so that in reality, although a postponement was now asked for until the ensuing session, the case would come on quite as early as before the new Bill had come into operation. The Learned JUDGE thought it was very early in the session to make such an application, for the wit ness might be obtained ere it had concluded. Mr. PRENDERGAST remarked, that the object in making the application thus early was to relieve se veral professional witnesses from a probably unneces sary attendance for three or four days. The JUDGE inquired of Mr. Horry what inconve nience could arise by the postponement ? Mr. Houuy replied, that the inconvenience to the prosecution would be very great ; in addition to which destructive character—would still b e carr i e d on . The ,the,nuisanee 7r -a nuisance of. th e , mast pern i c i ous - an d defendant was in the habit of using a preparation of sulphur to, as he said, bleach the bristles of which he made his brushes ; and he furthermore used, as the Learned Counsel was understood to say, the chlo ride of arsenic in the construction of a peculiar de scription of fancy shaving-soap, as we ll as f or ano ther h were the result of these s were funie eof the most injurious character, and spread themselves around the neighbourhood wherein they were carried on with the most lamentable effects. The object of the prosecution of course was to ac complish the removal of the nuisance as quickly as possible, and any postponement would tend to delay the achievement of so desirable an end. He was in structed that the defendant had removed this nuisance from another place about two years since. 'With respect to the ground upon which the postponement was sought, he should submit that the affidavit did not show the materiality of the evidence of the par ticular witness sufficiently even to justify the appli cation ; whilst, on the other hand, the prosecutor had a witness who was now in the most dreadful state o" health, and who had lost her husband and (laughter from the operation of these poisonous fumes upon their system. Mr. PRENDERGAST here read an affidavit, which set forth that the nuisance, if nuisance it were, had been discontinued from the moment when the notice of indictment had been served upon the defendant. Eventually it was arranged that the trial should be postponed until the next sessions, upon the under taking of th e d e f endant not to renew his operations during that period. GAMING !LOUSES. Mr. PRENDERGAST now moved that bench warrants might issue in the case of The defendants, -- Godfrey, TILE QUEEN U. GODFREY AND OTHERS. Joseph Bevan, Joseph Sherwood, C. Lil ey, and W. Suf ili n, h a d b een indicted on the I9th o f A ugust, for keep i ng a common gaming house in Bury-street, St. James's, but had neither put in bail nor appeared. The party making the affidavit swore that if the bench warrants were issued, he was in possession of such information as would enable him to capture them, and so bring the p a rties up for trial. The COURT granted the application for the war rants, with 24 hours' notice of bail. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. THE STEAM -BOAT RIOTS AT TEMI'LE-BAR PIER.— Seventeen men, named William Irish, Henry Stollard, Fitzgerald, William Richard Heave, Thomas Maxton, Thomas Norcott, Richard Ash, John Wal kins, Thomas Jones William Valiance, Robt. Wilson, Richard Field, Geoilge Everard, James Everard,John Rutland, Thos. Coll, and Edward Collins, were placed at the bar yesterd a y upon an i n di c t m ent charging them with creating a riot and violently assaulting Henry Maynard, in the parish of St. Clement Danes, on the 26th of July, 1844. There was also upon the calendar a further count, charging Rutland, the two Everards, Heave, and Ash, with an assault upon the same Henry Maynard. The circumstances of this case must be fresh in the memory of the r ea d ers o f Th e S un , they having been published at length when the examination of the several traverser,: took place at Bow-street Police office. The subject of the indictment arose from the circumstances of two rival steam- boat companies lay ing claim to the ri g ht o f i ngress and egress at a wharf I called the Temple-bar Pier. Those rival companies • were known as the Waterman's and the Old Wool- 1 with Company, and an altercation having arisen be. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) 111ARYLEBONP. Yesterday a young man, named John York, was brought up before Mr. Rawlinson, charged with having robbed his late master, Captain Fuller, R N 9 of No. 27, Montagu-square, of property to a consi derable amount. Captain Fuller stated that on the 20:h ult. he dis charged the prisoner, who had been his footman for twelve months, and in a few days he missed a great many articles from his house. He communicated the particulars of his loss to the police, and the prisoner was at length apprehended on a warrant which he (Ciptain Fuller) had obtained. Ross, the constable, deposed that he had been many days upon the look-out for the prisoner, and met with him that morning at a fruiterer's shop in D rset street. On the road to the station-house he ran away, but was followed and speedily recaptured by witness. He was searched, and on his person were found a valuable gold watch and chain, and a diamond ring, and at his lodgings,2o, Augusta-street,Cumberland- market, witness subsequently discovered and brought away a musical snuff-box, a silver inkstand, a silver teaspoon, a work-box, and a number of waistcoats and handker chiefs. together with a quantity of sealing- wax, pen cils, soap, &c. Captain Fuller examined the property alluded to, and identified a great portion thereof as his. The prisoner. who had nothing to say, was fully committed to Newgate for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. Amongst the remanded cases appointed for reexa mination before Mr. Bingham, was one relating to a person named Lewis Henry Jacobs, a dealer in china, recently residing in Tyssen-place, Kingsland, who stood charged with having feloniously uttered a forged acceptance for • 151., with intent to defraud Mr. 'Wil liam Harvey, a master builder, living in the same neighbourhood. It will be recollected that the prosecutor had been employed by the prisoner to repair certain premises belonging to him at Lambeth, and received in pay ment the bill in question, which purported to be ac cepted by Mr. William Simmons, a tobacconist, in High-street, Newington•causeway. The bill, on its becoming due, was presented to the ostensible ac ceptor, and that person, having declared it to be a forgery, the prisoner was given into custody, and was examined before Mr. Bingham on Thursday last, but Mr. Simmons not being in attendance, the prisoner was liberated on bail, and his brother, Moses Jacobs, a dealer in china, living in Berwick-street, Oxford street, gave his recognizances in 50/. for the appear ante of the prisoner on Thursday last. On that day Mr. Simmons attended in Court, and proved that the acceptance was not in his handwriting; but the pri soner himself was not forthcoming, and his bail having assured the magistrate that lie was unavoidably absent from serious illness, Mr. Bingham agreed to extend the recognizances until Thursday. Yesterday the prosecutor and witnesses were again in attendance, but the prisoner failed to appear ; and Cole, the officer who had charge of th e case , inti mated to the magistrate that he had been to the pri soner's house, and found that he had absconded with all his goods, and that every effort to discover his retreat had been made without effect. The MAGISTRATE said that, under these circum stance, the recognizances of the prisoner's bail mu-t be entreated, and he should order it to be done forthwith. The prisoner's brother here stepped forward, and begged hard that the magistrate would allow him a little time to endeavour to trace the fugitive, which he expected to be able to effect within a few days. The MAGISTRATE, however, refused to accede to the application, and said that the utmost he could do in the event of the accused being re- appreheiided within a reasonable time, would be to consent to a representation being mad e to the Barons of the Ex quer to set aside the estreatment. Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, was then directed to make out distress-warrants to recover the amount of the recognizances. Wednesday James Lewis, a shoemaker, and S a r a h Lewis, his wife, a goo d-looking woman, were placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with de serting their child, an infant six weeks old, whereby it had become chargeable to the parish of Wapping. A woman named Mary Gray, living in Henry street, Commercial-road, stated, that while going for her husband's supper beer, on the night of the 31st of May last, when about five or six houses from her own door her attention was drawn to the cries of a child close against her feet, and on looking down she saw a bundle lying upon the pavement, which turned out to be a male infant six weeks old, rolled up in a bundle of dirty rags. She called a stranger who was passing at the time to witness the circumstance, and that person went with her and the child to the sta tion-house, where, at the intercession of the constable on duty, she agreed to take the infant home with her and keep it till the next morning, when the authori ties of the Wapping Union were informed of the drop ping of the child, and they took it into their work house, where it had remained ever since. Another woman named Hannah Atthill, the wife of a weaver in Seabright-street, Commercial-road, said that the two prisoners came to lodge at her house last February twelvemonth, and remained till the 31st of May last, when they left. On the Sister Monday preceding their quitting her house the female prisoner was confined of a boy, and was acco • modated with a box of linnen by a benevolent society of ladies in the neighbourhood. When the prisoners left their apartments they took away with them the infant in question, and another child, three years of age. In consequence of having heard something with regard to the baby, she determined to question the female prisoner the first time she saw her, and on accidentally meeting her in the streets three weeks ago asked her as to the health of the child, when the prisoner replied that it was quite well, and was being taken care of by her sister. The child was produced in Court by one of the workhouse nurses, and on being shown to the witness . Atthill, she immediately identified it, from a mark on its person, as being the infant the prisoner was con fined with at her house; and also swore to having seen the rags in which the little creature was found wrapped up in the street in the apartments of the pri soners while living with her. Two other witnesses, fellow-shopmen of the male prisoner, deposed to conversations they had had with him subsequently to the desertion of the child, when he told them it was at the house of his brother, in Catherine-street, Commercial-road, to whom he was paying 38. 6d. per week for its support. They had suspicions as to the truth of this statement, and made inquiries in Catherine-street, when they were informed by the neighbours that the brother had left there a long time before, and that no one knew where he had gone to. Policeman 74 K, from information he received from one of the last witnesses, went on the preceding even ing to the house of the prisoners and took them into custody. On apprising them of the nature pf the charge against them, the male prisoner said.that the infant was at the house of his brother in Henry street, Commercial-road, but afterward admitted that the brother had gone to Bristol, and that they had neither since heard from him, nor knew where he was to be found. On the road to the station, the male prisoner told his wife to keep close and not say anything, as there was no evidence whatever against them. - The prisoner, who stood trembling at the bar, fre quently asserted her innocence of the alleged offence, and declared that she never touched her husband's teapot on the evening in question, and had. no oppor tunity of putting poison in it, even if she were in clined, for he was not a moment absent from the room. Mr. COTTINGRAM observed that the prisoner's pre vious conduct to her husband strengthened 'the belief that hers was the hand that administered the poison —that previously to it she had uttered threats against his life—had also threatened to burn the house ; and when she saw him retching violently from the effee's of the poison he had swallowed in her presence, and when he complained of'a sudden sickness and a burn ing sensation in his mouth and throat, instead of ren dering him any assistance, her expressions and un feeling conduct on the occasion were such as to war rant the conclusion that she was the offender. The Magistrate then directed the depositions to be taken, and said that he should commit the prisoner, but that she should be brought up again on Tuesday next, to give the policeman an opportunity of making further inquiries as to where the poison was bought. Charles Wilson, a well-dressed young man, was charged before Mr. Cottingham with stealing a gold watch, value 351., the property of Mr. Morton, of Southampton-street, Strand. The complainant stated, that on th• preceding evening he went to the Surrey Theatre, and while waiting at the pit entrance, there being a crowd of persons there at the time, he noticed the prisoner standing by his side. After a little time the prisoner asked him what o'clock it was, and he (complainant) pulled his watch out of his waist coat pocket and told him. When he returned the watch to his pocket he felt a snap, and immediately missed the watch, which was attached to a gold chain round his neck, and he missed the prisoner from his side, and went after him, and found him walking de liberately away. The complainant added that he ob served the prisoner talking in a low tone of voice to some other persons near him at the time of the robbery, and he gave him into custody. When the prisoner was questioned, be said that he was a tailor at Woolwich, and came up to go to the Surrey Theatre ; that he stood near Mr. Morton at the pit entrance, and finding the place was so crowd,- d he (the prisoner) walked out, with the intention of going to the Victoria Theatre, and that he did not leave as alleged to escape detection, for he had done nothing that he was afraid of. Mr. CorrtNorram said that a serious robbery had been committed, and that it was his duty to remand the pri soner until further inquiries were made on the subject. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. Mr. David Gallico, an interpreter of foreign lan guages, made application to Mr. Hardwick, the presid ing Magistrate, stating that a most determined attempt had been made to assasinate a Mr. Charles Victor, a French artist, residing at No. 46, King-street, Soho square, who had been stabbed in six places in the public street, and was now at home in a state of great suffering, and his life in danger. Mr. Gallico then went on to state that between ten and eleven o'clock on Tuesday night last a slight quarrel ensued in the coffee-room of the Prince Albert Tavern, in Lisle-street, Leicester-square, between Mr. Victor and a Pole, a professor of languages. Mr. Victor shortly aftetwards left the tavern with his antagonist, and on getting into the street the altercation between them was renewed, and me nacing gestures with the fist were made use of by both parties. The Pole was then observed to draw a knife out of his coat pocket and stab Vr. Victor on the left side of the head, the point of the blade striking against the skull bone with grea t f orce . M r. Victor defended himself as well as he was able, but in the :cuffle that en sued he received a cut transversely across the right eye, and two stabs of considerable depth on the left cheek. His assailant then broke away from him and made his escape, Police-constable Thomas Middleton, No. 189 of th e C division, came up at the instant a nd rendered Mr. Vic tor, whose clothing was completely saturated with his blood, every assistance in his power. On unloosening his vest, he was found to have received two more stabs (the most dangerous of his wounds) in the chest. Sur gical aid was instantly procured, and eventually Mr. Victor was removed to his residence. Mr. HARDWICK directed Gibbett, one of the police constables attached to the Court, to immediately inves tigate the matter. In defence the male prisoner denied having deserted his child in the manner that had been described, and persisted in his statement that he had placed it in the care of his brother, who had left London more than a month ago, and he had always since then entertained the firm conviction that the infant had been carried by his brother with him to Bristol. The female prisoner's statment was precisely to the same effect. Air. BROUGHTON said that the case was one of very deep suspicion, and there could be no doubt whatever that the child produced in Court was that of which the female prisoner had been delivered at the house of the woman Atthill. He should commit them both to prison for child-dropping, but let the case stand over for a week, to give them an opportunity of bringing forward any exculpatory evidence they might be able to adduce. —The prisoners were then removed. QUEEN-SQUARE. Wednesd a y the first order of affiliation under Ole recent Act of Parliament was made at this office. The putative father of the child was Joseph Edgely, a young linendraper's assistant, who was summonA to show cause why an order of 2s. 6d. per week should not be made upon him for its maintenance. The mother swore to the intimacy, and to her bay ing been delivered of the child she then held in her arms on the 12th of February.

ROBBERY BY ASSUMED P •LICEMENT.—APPREHEN SION OF THE " TALL MAN."—At a late hour on Wed nesday afternoon George Westrrn. alia White, a tall man, dressed in a !:1 ck coat, with an apr. it round his waist, was brought before Mr. Cottin , z,h4in, charged with stealing twelve and a half sovereigns, two gold Wedding rings, a gold brooch, six silver spoons, aed other property, fro the house of Edward Brundell, a carpenter, at 24, Agnes-street. Waterloo-road, under the follon ing circumstances : On the afternoon of the 27th ult., the prisoner, with another man named Cooper (who has been in custody some days), went to the above house during the absence of Mr. Brundell, and told his wife that her husband was locked up at the station-house, charged with felony, The prisoner said he was a police-officer acd had come to search the house. lie produced a forged search war rant. Mrs. Brundell, who had jut got over her confine tnert, at hearing that the prisoner was an officer, al lowed him to take every valuable tar icle from the house. His companion, Cooper, was taken into custody on Monday, the 2d inst., near Westminster-bridge, just after they had committed a robbery at a coffee-house in Grafton -street, Soho. Mr. James attended far the prosecution. Goff, 83 L, an active officer, stated that he was pro ceeding with Brooks, 118 L. along Newington-causeway, about two o'clock, when they met the prisoner, who (although he had considerabl) altered his dress and ap pearance) they instantly recognised as the " tall man." Goff told him what he wanted him for, when the pri soner denied all knowledge of the transaction. The prisoner was identified by Mrs. Courtney, a lodger in Mr. Brundell's house, as the man who pocketed the money and other property. Two of the prisoner's companions were in custody, and were remanded by Mr. Traill until Tuesday next. Goff stated that the prisoner was wanted for an ex tensive forgery and several robberies. Mr. Cottingham remanded the prisoner until Tues day next. Wednesday Sarah Drew was brought before Mr. Cottingham, on remand from last Thusday, charged with administering poison to Richard Drew, her husband. Mr. James, the solicitor who attended for the pro secution, said, that he was requested by the com plainant to state, that he was overwhelmed with grief at the awful situation of his wife, to whom he had been married forty years ; that they had sixteen chil dren, four of whom, their suns, young men of most exemplary conduct, had jo'ned in the prayer of their father for the liberation of their mother. The com plainant was most anxious she should be discharged upon bail, as he was convinced that she would not make any further attempt upon his life, and that, under these circumstances, he (the complainant) wished that she should return home to her dwelling, if the Magistrate sanctioned it. Mr. COTTINGHAM said, that the alleged offence was of such a nature that he could not possibly grant the application; that the intercession of the old man now made on her behalf evinced the kindness of his feel ings towards her, notwithstanding the desperate means by which she sought his life, and that the charge was on e w hi c h mus t go before a jury. It was given in evidence that the quantity of arsenic put into the complainant's tea was enough to kill four persons; that there were also two other lumps of the same mineral found on the floor where the prisoner had been previously standing, a quantity that was said to be sufficient to poison twenty persons. It was only a matter of astonishment how the prisoner or any other person could have procured such a quantity of the deadly drug without proper inquiries being made by the person who sold it. The person, whoever he was, was guilty of the most culpable negligence, to say the least of it, and he (the Magistrate) was ap prehensive now that the discovery would not take place. GREENTVICII. Wednesday Thomas lll'Clune, a superannuated war rant-officer, was convicted of having used abusive lan guage to the relieving-officer of the union, who had gone to remonstrate with him for having expelled from his roof his daughter, a girl under 20 years of age, whom her father declared to be utterly unworthy of his protection. He was sentenced to a fine of 55., and, in default, to imprisonment for seven days. Immediately after he was locked up, his son, a sailor, was brought up for having struck the relieving officer, on account of the charge against his father. The young man declared the old man, having a wife and five children to support, could not endure the pro fligacy of his daughter. He was called on to enter into recognizances for 101. His earnest entreaties' at length induced the Magistrate (Mr. Grove) to respite his father's fine for ten days. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LONDON, SEPT. 12. Wind N.W., fresh bree oi fine.
