LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 27. (Before Mr. Commissioner FAME.) IN THE MATTER OF ROBERT BANISTER. In this case, which has been so prominently before the public, it may be remembered that the bankrupt had carried on an extensive business as a draper in Portsea, and who had absconded, after disposing of the greater part of, his stock below cost price. This day a Mr. Coleman was examined touching ly the receipt of certain moneys which he was alleged to have received from the bankrupt. The COURT seemed to consider that the publication of the evidence would tend to injure the interests of the body of the creditors. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron GURNEY and Mr. Justice WICHTMAN.) William Windley, 20, a labourer, was charged with a rape on the person of Hannah Hale, a widow, at Leyton stone, and John Harknett, a labourer ; Jeremiah Wake ling, a baker ; William Scarborough, Henry William Watts Irving, Edward Lingard, and James Windley, were indicted with being present and aiding and assist ing in the commission of the crime. The facts of the case and its atrocity will be in the recollection of our readers. The prosecutrix swore, most positively, that all the prisoners committed the crime. Mr. Ballantine conducted the prosecution. Mr. Pren dergast defended Wakeling and Hartnett ; and Mr. Charnock Scarborough, Ashford, Lingard, and Watts. Windley was undefended. The facts of the case are totally unfit for publication. Windley, in his defence, denied the committal of the offence, and stated the prosecutrix was rolling drunk on the day when it was alleged the offence was committed. Mr. PRENDERGAST, at the suggestion of the Court, declined addressing the jury on behalf of John Harknett and Jeremiah Wakeling, and the Jury, under the dircc • tions of Mr. Baron Gurney, acquitted them both. Mr. CHARNOCK then addressed the Jury for all the pri soners, except Windley. The Learned Counsel also called several witnesses who deposed to the prosecutrix being very drunk on the day in question, and one wit ness spoke to seeing her and Windley together in rather an equivocal position. Mr. BALLANTYNE addressed the jury in reply. Mr. Baron GURNEY summed up. The jury found them all guilty, and the COURT sen tenced them all to transportation for life. Thomas White was indicted for a similar offence upon Elizabeth Farrer, a child nine years old. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of an aggra vated assault. The same prisoner was also indicted for a similar offence upon Nancy Burrows, a girl of the same age. The jury returned the same verdict as in the for mer case. There were two other indictments for similar of fences against the prisoner, but they were not pro ceeded with. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN sentenced the prisoner to be kept.ta hard labour for eighteen months upon each conviction. William Simmons, 17, was indicted for feloniously lulling a mare, the property of Henry Holmes. Mr. Brierly, at the request of the Court, examined the witnesses for the prosecution, and Mr. Payne de fended the prisoner. It appeared that the prosecutor is a cowkeeper and milkman, and the prisoner was in his service, and employed to look after the mare in question. On the 9th of July, in consequence of some information he received, the prosecutor examined the mare, and found she had sustained a most dreadful injury, from the sects of which the animal died two or three days afterwartls. A little girl was examined as a witness, who spoke tc seeing the prisoner injure the animal with a pitchfork; the , evidence as to the fact, and also as to the prisorier'g - ic.tention, was not very clearly mad?. out. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. This case concluded the business of the session, and the Court then adjourned to Monday, Septerniaer 16. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) The following cases were disposed of late on Mon day evening : Henry Burton, described as a toll-collector, was indicted for the , manslaughter of Henry Spence, at the parish of Whitechapel. Mr. O'Brien conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prisoner. The circumstances of the case will be fresh in the recollection of 'our readers, as they have been given very fully within the last few days. The prisoner had been very much annoyed and insulted by the de ceased and a number of other boys, and, unhappily, in a moment of excitement, he struck the deceased a blow on the head, which occasioned his death. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, coupled with a strong recommendation to mercy, and judg ment was respited until the next session. William Adam Postlethwaite pleaded Guilty to a charge of assault upon Eliza Augusta Townsend, with intent to commit felony. Judgment in this case was also respited, but the defendant was allowed to go at large upon finding sureties for his appearance at the next sessions. Henry Stephenson was indicted for maliciously Throwing a stone upon the South Western Railway, and thereby endangering the safety of the passengers pa3sing upon the railway. The defendant pleaded Guilty. Mr. BODKIN, who conducted the prosecution on behalf of the London and South Western Railway Company, said that it was instituted for the purpose of showing the public that such offences could not be committed with impunity. In the hope that the present proceeding would have the effect of prevent ing such offences from being committed in future, the Company were not desirous of pressing for any punishment, and if the Court felt that such an arrangement could be entered into, they would be satisfied if the defendant entered into his own recog nisance to appear and receive the judgment of the Court when required to do so. The COMMON SERGEANT remarked that the offence was a most serious one, inasmuch as the lives of thousands of the subjects of the Crown were put in jeopardy by it, and it must be distinctly understood that the utmost penalty of the law would be enforced against all persons found so offending in future. The defendant, having entered into the required reoognisances, was discharged from custody. • IV E IV COURT; (Before the RECoriDER.) MANSLAUGirrk.R. James Briggen, milkman, was placed at the bar, charged with unlawfully causing the death of Anne Jones, by criminal negligence in driving a horse and cart. Mr. Horry conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. It appeared froni the evidence that the deceased was coming, on the 9th of July, from Stepney, in the direc tion of Whitechapel: She was walking on the road, it being more smooth that the foot-path. The prisoner was coming 'in the same direction, driving a cart at the rate of ten or twelve miles an hour, and the left wheel of the cart struck the deceased on the shoulder, which threw her down, and killed her almost immediately. It was proved that the prisoner was drunk when the accident took place. It appeared that the deceased was, a respectable young woman and recently married. Several respectable witnesses gave the prisoner a good character for sobriety, honesty, industry, and inoffensive ness. The RecoaDeri\said that this was a very serious case, and the Court would have felt called upon to sentence the prisoner to transportation were it not that his neigh bours flocked round Mtn in the hour of need, and gave him the very best character. But it was a duty which he owed to the public safety to visit the prisoner with an imprisonment which svomid be an example to others. The sentence upon the prisoner was, that he be im prisoned in the House of Correction and kept to hard labour for nine calendar months. AssauLT.—Daniel Iti'Diarmid, captain of the Pro.. tomelia, was charged with a3saulting Samuel John 11‘Dowall, on Friday, the 5.h of July, on the high seas. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor, a must intelligent but friendless boy, that he was ordered to clean a part of the ship. He went ,:or a broom to do so, and the captain seeing him with it, struck him with his hand, pulled the broom from him, and gave him a blow.with the handle of the broom. It would appear thatahe captain acted in this manner, because there was anold broom which he might have taken. Ile w.as obliged to lie by th a t n i g ht an d p ar t o f th e n ex t day, when he paine to hi m an d as k e d t o s ee the boy's thigh. After having stripped himself, the captain beat him with a rope about an inch and a half thick. After this he refused to do any more work till they came to London, the assault having been committed below Dungeness. It also appeared from the statement of the boy that Sunday. the 7th, be v iolently pressed his neck, and said if he did not work they arrived in e rhe committed break his neck. When captain was brought before a magistrate, and was Lon don to take his trial at this • Court. There was a witness in the case but when called he was not forthcoming. , - , Mr. DOANE said that the captain acted as he did was feigning tinder r the impression that t he bo y illness, that he might not work, and the boy admitted t hat i l h : captain was very ki nd before the as sault occurred. r to make him some co mpensat i on. captain was willing The RECORDER thought that would be the best way to settle the matter. The boy had acted in a manly , straightforward manner, in not submitting to be treated unjustly ; but the Court was willing to believe that the captain had acted under a false impression. He would direct the jury to find a verdict of guilty, acd the Court would then settle the amount of compensation. The jury having found the prisoner Guilty, Mr. DOANE, on his behalf, offered 10i compensation, which was accepted as fair and liberal. • The Admirilly have issued orders to build, by - contract, two second-rate iron steam-frigates—one to work with paddle-wheels, and the other to have a screw ; propeller. They are each to . be 203 feet in length, 37 fees in breadth, about 1,300 tons burthen, and 500 horse .vower. On the 27th Icily we stated that "Messrs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MA NSIO N-HO USE. Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, having, by the di rection of Sir John Pirie, written on Saturday to the owner of the ship John Campbell, in consequence of a statement made in the justice-room, charging the supercargo of that vessel with desperate offences alleged to have been committed on the coast of Africa, received the following answer, which he handed to the Lord Mayor : " Liverpool, Aug. 26, 1844. " Sir,—ln reply to your letter of the 24th inst., I beg to state, for the information of Sir John Pirie, that my ship, the John Campbell, has not yet arrived from Africa, and I scarcely know when to expect her. I do not know whether any others of the crew are in this country, and I have no reason to suppose Captain Burnley would commit such an act as that with which it appears he is charged by the man Laidlow. A mutiny took place on board the John Campbell soon after her arrival at Calabar, which was quelled by the interference of the King. I perceive that Laidlow, the complainant, was one of the mutineers, and having observed in the Lon don papers a long account of his examination before Sir John Pirie, I have deemed it but justice to Captain Burnley (and to prevent the public forming an erro neous opinion of the case from exaggerated statements), to publish the deposition and statement of the mutiny, which I received from Captain Burnley on the Bth of June last, and to which paper I refer for further parti culars. " I beg to remark that Captain Burnley was put on board the John Campbell by the charterers of that vessel as supercargo only, but assumed the command by my authority on the death of Captain Nelson. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, ;" WILLIAM SITAR?. " To S. R. G oodman, Esq., Mansion-house, London." Sir John Pixie, who, it will be recollected, said, upon reading the written statement of the seaman, which was signed by that applicant and another of the crew, that it was possible the persons who com plained were mutineers, mentioned, upon reading the letter of the owner, that he considered it due to Capt. Burnley to give the same publicity to the statement aril opinion of the owner which the extraordinary accusation had received. The LORD MAYOR acquiesced in Sir John Pixie's view of the matter, and said that the circumstances should be entered into when the necessary informa tion reached hand. _ _ V -.. Laidlow,_ the seaman, upon being told that his Lordship would, on a future day, take cognisance of the case, stated that he should be punctually in attendance. _ _ _ Captain Wheeler, of one of the Woolwich steam boats, was summoned for having, by the swell occa sioned by the rapid motion of the vessel, overset a waterman's boat and tumbled him into the water. Hiram Howard, a waterman, stated that, as he was rowing on Thursday morning, in the river, the steam-boat of which the defendant 'was captain was proceeding at a most rapid rate, and the consequence was that the wherry was stove in and upset, and the owner's life was endangered. The captain stated that, as he was obliged to look forward; he could not - see the complainant, or he would have eased his vessel in time to prevent the accident, which, however, was insignificant, as the waterman was shot over into very shallow water. He denied that the vessel was going at a furious pace. The complainant said the surf raised by the Wool wich 'vessels, was often in consequence of the extreme rapidity with which they went along, often, seven or eight feet high, and that the depth of the water into which he was pitched was 'about three feet. • The LORD MAYOR—We are passing regulations which will put an end to all those dangers and dis putes, and as no great damage has been done in this case, and we shall rigidly act upon our new by-laws the moment they are passed, I shall allow the defen dant to settle the matter with the waterman who has sustained the injury. A young man named David Williamson, one of those fellows who are constantly on the look-out for countrymen, was charged by Mr . William Harman, merchant, of Leeds, with having endeavoured to do him out of 401. The complainant, a person of very comfortable ap pearance, about fifty years of age, went, it appears, into an eating-house, and sat down to a chop, and the defendant walked into the same box, and likewise fell to work with a knife and fork. A conversation commenced, in which the complainant, although a Yorkshireman, very readily joined without at all suspecting his new accivaintance. The defendant said that his father was a man of fortune, and that he came to town to buy a horse to run in a match with another in the old gentleman's phaeton, and that the complainant could assist him in making the pur chase. The complainant consented, and it was quite evident, that if he had happened to have 401. about him, the defendant and some fellows who were co operating with him would have become possessed of it by one of those manoeuvres which prove s frequently successful at fairs and markets. Mr. Harman, however, not being supplied with ready cash to answer any more than his immediate occa casions, luckily called at the counting-house of a gentleman of the name of Pond, his broker, for the purpose of getting the amount, taking the defendant with him. Mr. Pond, upon looking at the defendant, at once suspected that he was a flat-catcher, and asked Mr. Harman who he was ? " Oh, he is a friend of mine," replied . the Yorkshireman. " How did you get acquainted with him ?" asked Mr. Pond. " Oh, I met him at dinner," said Mr. Harman. The consequence was, that the defendant completely lost his chance of plundering Mr. Harman. It may appear rather surprising that a Yorkshire man was so near being victimised; but it came out in the course of the investigation by the Lord Mayor, that Mr. Harman was not only tempted by the oppor tunity afforded him to serve a gentleman of fortune, but was to have handled two sovereigns as commission upon the purchase of the horse, which was stated by the stable-keeper in whose - care the animal had been left for a-little while, to be worth no more than 131. A solicitor, who attended for the defendant, sub mitted to the Lord Mayor that there was no case for him to answer. The LORD MAYOR said he regretted that he was obliged to discharge the prisoner. Of the intention of that person to plunder Mr. Harman there could not be the slightest doubt, hut Mr. Pond fortunately was applied to in the nick of time. His Lordship expressed some surprise that a man with so many years upon his back could, merely upon a mutton chop acquantance, have hazarded its money and his reputation. The defendant retired from the bar smiling. GUILDHALL. _ A working-looking man was placed at the bar charged with having stolen a quantity of potatoes, the property of a market gardener named Hyde, residing at Croydon, but who keeps a stall in Farringdon market. The complainant said that he left his stall for a couple of hours on Tuesday last, and on his return found that a sieve containing the potatoes in question had been walked . off. He afterwards discovered them in Field lane, in the shop of a Mr. Fenton, who had bought them from the prisoner. Mr. Fenton, eating-house-keeper, proved having bought them from the prisoner. Mr. Alderman BROWN—This looks bad against you. What can you say for yourself ? Prisoner—l bought them from another man, quite promiscuous in Farring don-street, and am as innocent as a blessed baby. Mr. Alderman BROWN did not give implicit credit to the prisoner's statement, and sent him therefore to NeWgate. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNINCI, AUGUST 08, 184 C CLERKENIVELL. Anne Purehas, alias Smith, alias Roberts, alias Wil liam; alias Heffnon, with a variety of other aliases, was charged with obtaining money on false pretences from the Rev. T. H. Bullock, curate of Christ Church, Bloomsbury, residing in Everett-street, Brunswick square. It appeared from the evidence of Horsford, the Mendicity officer, that the prisoner has been known to the Mendicity Institution for the last thirty years as a most artful and successful begging-letter impos tor. Her husband had been at one time a thriving tradesman, but even in bis lifetime, and when there was no occasion to exercise fraud in order to obtain at least the necessaries of life, this woman betook herself to this species of imposition. At one time she repre sented that her husband had just met with a shocking death ; at another that her son had a leg amputated; at another that she was afflicted with an intestinal complaint, and produced numerous documents pur porting to be medical certificates, and those engrav ings from truss-makers showing spinal deformities, &c. .Then she had warrants of distress filled up in the most formal manner, and testimonials from clergy men in abundance. She had not carried on her system of imposture with impunity, as will appear by the following list (which Horsford read) :—Committed by Mr. Shutt, at Marylebone, for two months, for a fraud on Lady Beverly, on the 21st of August, 1835. On this occasion she represented herself as a widow with five children, which was untrue. 15th August, 1836, committed for one month by Mr. Dyer, for obtaining money on false pretences from Sir J. Ramsden. 21st Jane, 1838, ditto by Mr. Hoskins. August 14,1838, ditto by Mr. Shutt. 16th Decem ber, 1840, ditto by Mr. Dyer, for a fraud on Lord Fitzallan. January 30, 1841, ditto by Mr. Hard wick, one mont h . J u l y 16, 1841, ditt o by Mr. Hard wick.three September 23, 1841, ditto by Mr. Rawlinson, for months, for a fraud on the Rev. Mr. Baker. December 2 3, , 1841, ditto by . Mr. Greenwood, one month. April-14, 1842, sentenced, to nine months' imprisonment the by prisoner's Sergeant c uAdams,counsel, however,at the Middlesex the sen t e nce remitted, in co nsequence o f an i n f orma li ty Sessions in the indictment. October 11, 1842, committed for one month, by Mr. Rawlinson. June 5, 1843, ditto for three months, by Mr. Rawlinson. January 22, 1844, ditto by I%lr. Greenwood, three months, for a fraud on `Mrs. Rashleigh, of Russell -square. The Rev. Mr. Bullock deposed that, on Saturday morning last, the prisoner came to his - house, told him her little son, who had been at Christ Church School, was very unwell, and that she wanted a little pecuniary assistance, to enable her to send him to Ramsgate . on that afternoon. Witness asked her name, and she said her name was Anne Fielden, of 19, Little Chapel-place, Little Coram-street. Witness gave her four shillings. Her sick son, as she called him, was with her, a lad of about seventeen years. Mr. MBE sentenced her to three months' impri sonment in the House of Correction. BOW-STREET. A tall able-bodied man named Robert Holloway, and Margaret Hall, were placed at the bar charged with committing a violent and unprovoked assault on Mrs. Anne Bennet. The complainant stated that she with her husband and cousin went into a public-house in St. Martin's-lane last night, and while standing at the bar the prisoners came in. They were intoxicated, and they had not been in the house many minutes before the female fell upon the prosecutrix and knocked her down with a large key, which cut her eye severely. While she was down, the male prisoner struck her with a stick on the head. The prosecutrix had never seen them before in her life. The prisoners did not attempt to palliate the offence, and, Mr. TIVYFORD committed them to the sessions for trial. Monday Frederick Grosgane, a ranting preacher, was charged with creating a mob and obstructing the carriage and footway in Covent-garden, at an early hour on Sunday morning. By the evidence of the constables it was proved that about 200 persons had been collected together by the defendant, who refused to desist when cautioned by the policeman, and was consequently taken into custody ; he was, however, let out again by the in spector, upon the understanding that he would go away. Instead of doing so he went and resumed his harangue, and was dwelling upon the " martyrdom" which he was enduring when again apprehended and conducted to the station-house amidst the laughter and hooting of the mob. A young man in the Court stepped fora and in be half of the defendant, and stated that he was present when the pre - aching was going on ; that there were not mot more than thirty persons assembled, of whom only two or three were seriously listening to the sermon ; and that no obstruction whatever was occasioned. The defendant, who was respectably dressed, said he was a tailor, and that he preached in the same place five years prior to 1838, without interruption. On some occasions he lectured against drinking, but generally speaking his mission was to preach the Gospel. On the above morning, having seen a great deal of depravity in the neighbourhood, such as boys selling newspapers, &c., he felt it his duty to express his abhorrence of such sinful doings. He wondered why they who were thus desecrating the Sabbath were not taken into custody, instead of one who was enjoined to preach the word of God—for this was his only offence. The defendant was showing the strict analogy of his own:case with that of the Apostle Paul, who was exposed to similar persecution 'when preach ing in - the open air, when Mr. HALL interrupted him, remarking that he did •not wish to prevent his preaching out of doors while he selected a proper place, where his hearers might assemble without annoying the public. If he was again found • haranguing in Covent-garden (which was generally as well-conducted a place as any in London) he would be required to find bail. The defendant left the bar, declaring, with some vehemence, that so long as God gave him strength he , would contirme to preach in the open air, in spite of any punishment that might be inflicted. WORSHIP-STREET. Monday a. middle-aged man, having the, appear ance of a respectable mechanic, who gave the name of Charles Stevens, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged by the parish authorities of Shoreditch with deserting his wife, Eliza Stevens, in a heartless manner, and leaving her chargeable to their parish. • The wife, a good-looking young woman in an ad vanced state of pregnancy, stated that about a twelve month ago, while in comfortable service in a highly respectable family at Ball's Pond, she accidentally became acTiainted with 'the prisoner, who repre sented himself as a widower, and, after paying her attentions for three or four months, persuaded her to leave her situation and marry him. She did as he desired, and the ceremony took plice, in the name of Stevens, at St. John's Church, Hoxton. The pri soner's conduct towards her had afterwards been uni formly very bad, but on his discovery that she was in the family way; he lost all control over himself and com menced a - series of most brutal usage, beating, ne glecting, . and abusing her for her condition, and finally, about'eleven weeks since, abandoned her al together and left her to shift 'Air' herself. After endu ring three weeks' privation, she was obliged to apply to the parish for support, and they, upon ascertaining her situation, immediately took her into the work• house, where she had been ever since, and was now in expectation ofbeing momentarily confined. Mary Smith, the wife's mother, a poor washer woman, corroborated her daughter's statement, and gave a detail' of the most heartless conduct on the part of the prisoner 'toward's his wife; whose marriage to the prisoner was also formally put in proof. Holland, one of the . warrant officers, who assisted Waller, the beadle, in apprehending the prisoner, proved taking him in Macclesfild-street, Kingaland road, on 'Saturday evening, when the prisoner told him he was :wholly mistaken in the man, for he had no wife, but a friend of the prisoner shortly after came up and addressed him, when the prisoner acknow ledged that he was a widower, and that more than two years agii he had abandoned his three children, without _antone to look after them, in a parish in Kent, and that they had been carried to the Maid stone union-house, where they they now were. Hol land said the authorities of the union were so exaspe rated at the prisoner's conduct, that they had offered a reward for his apprehension. The prisoner had also acknowledged, that though he had married his wife in the name of Stevens, that was a false name: The prisoner, in defence, attempted to take advan tage of this circumstance, and contended, on that ground, that the marriage was invalid. Mr. BROUGHTON, however, 'told him that he was wholly Mistaken in this, for as the wife had never known him by any other name than that of Stevens, he could not be allowed to take advantage of his own wrong, and he could assure him that the marriage was perfectly valid. lie did not consider that 'he should be doing his duty, under such aggravated cir cumstances, if he did not sentence the prisoner to a month's imprisonment in the House of Correction, with 'hard 'labour, as a rogue and vagabond; and Holland must give the parish authorities in the coun try notice of his apprehension, that he might be also prosecuted by them for abandoning his children. LAMBETH- S 7 BEET. _ Monday Sall Fichell, a German Jew, was placed before Mr. Norton, the sitting Magistrate, charged .with robbing his employer, Mr. Adolphus Lipman, outfitter, 80, Pearson 's-street, Ratcliff-highway, of one gold and nine silver watches, value 351., under the following heartless circumstances : Mr. Lipman deposed that he had known the pri soner for two years, and as he was a foreigner and of the same persuasion as himself (a Jew), and knowing Mat he was in great distress, he did all he could to assist him, and gave him occasional relief. He had lost sight of .the prisoner for a considerable time, and about a fortnight ago he went in search of him, and found him in a most pitiable plight in the Minories, gaining a precarious subsistence by selling a few trifling articles in the streets; the prisoner was clothed in rags, and nearly half starved. In answer to some questions put to him by Mr. Lipman, the prisoner said he was dreadfully ill, and had just come out of the Jews' Hospital, Mile-end. The prosecutor told the prisoner that if he would promise to be a faithful, honest, and industrious servant he would take him into his employ, as he had just parted with his shop man, and would give him board and lodging and ss. per week_; and if he served him (the prosecutor) faithfully, he should never want a friend as long as he lived. The prisoner was then taken home by Mr. Lipman, clothed from head to foot; the prosecu tor also gave him a small gratuity in money, and made the prisoner a present of half a dozen new shirts, giving him, at the same time, the most nourish ing food. This benevolent Jew, it would seem, had really acted the part of the good Samaritan towards the prisoner, who, before he had been in his master's service twelve days, robbed him of the watches in question. John Bray, a policeman of the H division, said that, in consequence of information received at the station-house, he apprehended the prisoner adjoining the Shoreditch station, while asking for the Brighton Railway. On searching him he found the property now produced—viz., six silver watches and one gold one, which the prosecutor identified ; he afterwards ascertained that one of the watches had been sold for 7s. 6d., in Rosemary-lane, which he also now produced. The prisoner owned having taken the watches, and said he was instigated to it by a person, who was a notorious coiner in Rosemary-lane ' who told him he had now a good opportunity to rob his master, and said that they could both easily escape to Brighton, where they could go by railway, and cross over to the Continent without being discovered. The MAGISTRATE asked the prisoner if he was will ing to give the name and description of this person to the police.?—The prisoner said he was willing to do so. Mr. NORTON said he was a most ungrateful fellow, and remanded the prisoner to afford time to appre hend his accomplice. UNION-HALL. On Monday Thomas Hold was brought lx,fore Mr. Traill charged with making a very determined at,- tempt to deprive himself of life in the King's Arms public-house, Prince's-street, Lambeth, on the pre ceding day. Mr. Reed, the landlord of the house, stated, that on the preceding day the defendant .entere4 tap, room, and had not been there long before he (witness) was informed that a man was in a fit. He (witness) immediately went into the room, and found the de fendant lying on the floor apparently dead, and quite black in the face. Witness, without loss of time, proceeded to unloo3en his clothes, when he discovered that the man's neck was tightly bound round with a neckerchief in such a manner as to produce strangu lation. He therefore instantly cut the handkerchief with a knife, and a surgeon having been sent for, the defendant, after some considerable time, was recovered; and he subsequently acknowledged that he committed the act to deprive himself of life. In reply to Mr. Traill, the defendant said that he had been drinking to excess, and had remained away from home all night, and that the sensations on his re covering from the effects of his dissipation were of such a frightful nature as to induce him to put an end to his life. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The defendant was locked up in default of finding bail. Thomas Stephens was charged, before Mr. Traill, under the following circumstances. On the preceding night the prisoner was observed, by a young man named Miller, to approach the shop of a cheesemonger, at Walworth, and take a piece of bacon, with which he walked away. The witness Miller went after the prisoner, and accused him of the theft, and at the same time attempted to secure him. The prisoner, however, resisted the attempt, and, taking aim at the witness's head, threw the bacon, with all his force, at him, and struck him with such violence as to lay him prostrate on the ground ; and he then endeavoured to escape, but was secured by another person, after a sharp pursuit. The witness exhibited a swollen and black eye, from the effects of being struck with the bacon. The prisoner was remanded. Sarah Smith was charged with robbing children of their clothes. The prisoner was seen lurking about a court in which a number of children were playing, and when a favour able opportunity presented itself e took up a child in her arms and having taken it into the dark passage of a house, took off its shoes and stockings and was pro ceeding to divest it of all its clothing when she was secured. The prisoner, being suspected of robbing a great number of other children, was remanded. THE LATE DISTRESSING SUICIDE. Yesterday morning an inquest was held before Mr. C. J. Carttar, pursuant to adjournment from Friday last, at the Trinity Arms, Church-street, Deptford, touching the death of Eliza Kendall, aged 18, whose body was found in the water of the Grand Surrey Canal. The first witness called was police-constable Gates, 144 R, and officer of the police-court, who said that he remembered deceased being ordered to pay Is. for damage done to a bonnet, and 2s. costs. The Magis trate allowed her a fortnight to pay it in on account of her poverty. The time had expired, when he called and asked her why she had not paid the money. De ceased replied that it had not been in her power, having had no work. Witness told her she must pay, it by the following Wednesday, or take the conse quence. She was to have been committed to prison for three days if not paid. Should not have taken her into custody unless by an order from the - , dagistrate. Witness held out no threat; he was ordered to call for the money. John Cohen, a shipwright, deposed that he saw a woman on the bank of the canal throwing her arms about and crying loudly, " Oh, my sister ! oh, my sister !" several times. He was in his cottage, and ran out, and, with a neighbour, followed on to the canal. Witness saw her jump in, and having cleared the ditch, he plunged in after her. Believes she jumped in to save her sister. She was breast high out of the water when he saw her. She sank and he caught hold of her clothes when nearly three feet under water, and with great difficulty got her ashore in a state of insensibility. Did not 'see anything of the deceased. Witness was much exhausted from the exertion. It was at half-past six o'clock on Wednes day morning, and many persons were then on the bank. A friend took him by the hand and pulled both ashore together. Joseph Arthur, surgeon, deposed, that he had made a post mortem examination of the body. Deceased was not in the family way. Observed a few scratches on her face. Thinks they were done before death. Christopher Kendall, aged 55, father of deceased, saw her last on Tuesday night. He had not made any complaint to the deceased. Ilis daughters were in the habit, of going out on their own affairs. The landlord called on Tuesday for the rent. Two weeks at 2s. a-week were to be paid, and Is. off the arrear. Witness had left ss. with his eldest daughter to pay it. The landlord came at half-past 8, and he told him he had no money for him, and that he feared his daughters had made away with it. Jane had not then told him so. On her return home, she said the money would , be returned that day ; but they were unable to borrow it. She had lent it to her two sisters. He said very little to Jane, as she appeared to be in such trouble. He went out in search of them to, the Broadway, but could not meet with them. He returned home and , vrent to bed soon after 9 o'clock. He saw one of the girls leave the house about 6 o'clock on Wednesday morning. They lived by slop shirt-making, addded to which •he could earn ave raging about Bs. per week. He was sorry to say they had no chance of making a living at slopwork ; had suffered great distress lately ; never thought of more than two meals a (lay, sometimes not that. They worked for Mrs. Norman, Union-bridge, Bermond sey. She takes contracts to do the work for large shops in town. The deceased had much altered lately. The girls could not go to service for want of clothes, they being in pledge. It was quite unusual for them to be out at night. Witness was left with four daughters and one son. The latter was ship wrecked two years ago, and had not since been heard of. • Jane Kendall deposed, that they worked for Mrs. Norman, in Keating's-lane, Bermondsey, who em ploys upwards, of 100 hands, and contracts with Messrs. Bousfield and Sons, of Houndsditch. Mary Ann Kendall, the surviving sister, was then brought into the inquest-room in a helpless state, and after many attempts by the Coroner to take her evidence it was found absolutely necessary to remove her into an adjoining room, where the surgeon and Coroner followed.. In about half an hour, having taken something to soothe her, she was again led up to the table and seated by the side of the Coroner, and deposed in a low tone as follows :—She went out with me on Tuesday, at three o'clock, as they did not want to see their father, in consequence of not having the rent money, which had been borrowed of Jane. They returned about twelve that night, and climbed over the wall and slept in the yard all night, the door of the house being fast. They went away about five next morning, meaning to return at seven , when their father would be gone out. They went through Deptford and along the canal side. Her sister said she wished to go that way to see a young man. She stopped on the bank to wipe her face, and, having done so, turned, and in a moment after, giv ing witness the handkerchief, deceased was in the water. Witness was alarmed and screamed, and and thought she could catch hold of her frock, she was so near her. Deceased had previously said she would go and give herself up to the police, not being able to get either the lent money or the 3s. demanded by the police-constable. Deceased proposed to go by the canal side. Believes it was only an excuse about going to meet a young man. Could not say whether it was an accident or not. The CORONER said, that it was a question for the jury to consider whether the act was the result of ac cident or that of wilfully taking her own life. With respect to the witness Mary Ann, the evidence of Cohen showed that she was screaming " Oh, my sis ter ! oh, my sister !" which indicated that affection and desperation induced her to jump into the water after her sister. There could be no doubt that the sad catastrophe had been brought on by excitement, through great distress at home and threatened impri sonment, with the dread of meeting her father ; the circumstances taken altogether led him (the Coroner) to think that it was not the result of accident. The room was then cleared of strangers, and in about half an hour the jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity," and the jury further begged to state their detestation and abhorrence of the miser able manner in which labour was rewarded in all such cases as the present. MERCHANT SEAMAN'S OuTITAN ASYLUM.—On Mon day the general meeting and autumn election of this charity was held at the London Tavern, for the admis sion of four girls and eight boys into this institution. The chair was taken by Captain Nelson, the treasurer. A report of the Committee was read, from which it ap peared that, owing to an improvement in the finances, a double number of children were admitted at this elec tion. The amount realised at th e last annual festival was 669/. ss. 6d., in which were included 50/. from the Honourable Sidney Herbert, AP ., and twenty guineas from Joseph Somes, Esq. Sixty boys and thirty girls were then in this asylum. At three o'clock the poll closed , soon after which th e names of the successful candidates were announced, when a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the business of the day ter minated. GERMAN MANNERS, &c.—The Germans do not address each other with the plural you, as is our custom : thou denotes affection and familiarity. The common mode of speaking to friends. acquaintances, servants, shopkeepers, to everybody, indeed, is the third person plural, sie, they : your own dog you treat with the du, thou; the dog of your enemy with er, or he. The Ger mans have a habit of staring, quite inconceivable. I speak, of course, of the people one chances to meet tra velling as we do ; they will fix their eyes on you, and never take them 'of for an hour or more. There is no thing rude in their gaze, nothing particularly inquiring, thowsh you suppose it must result from curiosity ; other country "laces, per hapsoalfti them ett:t:a: : i c s filo : r e nni r s y 444:4d desira ble • here it does; but their eyes follow you with pertinacity, w ;,tflt any change 'of expreEsiop.

With Sperm the m arket 2,021 barrels. _ has been better supplied ; British of first quality _ COFFEE.-665 bags Ceylon, British Plantation kind, 168 bales Mocha, and 327 bags Rio, were offered by auction ; the Ceylon and Mocha were chiefly taken in, the former at 71s to 80s for fine ord to mid colory, British Plantation kind. The Mocha was withdrawn. Only part of the Rio was disposed of at 30s for com mon mixed good ord quality. Rum.—The quantity landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 308 puns, 55 Ws. There were taken for home consumption 243 puns, 16 hhds, and exported 211 puns, 77 hhds. The stock in the same places is 10,134 puns, 2,089 hhds. SALTPETRE.-1,126 bags were mostly taken in above the value, viz., at 26s 6d for 5 per cent. refraction ; 124 per cent. refraction sold at 24s (and one lot 24s 6d), being previous rates. SPICES —1,150 chests Cassia Lignea, and 514 Pepper, all the former found buyers, but at very low prices, viz., at 50s 6d to 61s for mid coarse to good mid quality, partly in large bundles, being a decline of fully 2s. The latter was taken in at 2d for mid to good black Sumatra. TALLow.—P.Y.C. is firm at 41s 3d to 42s per cwt on the spot, and Town 43s 6d cwt. TEA.—The market is steady, prices not undergoing any fluctuation. COTTON. —There have been one or two private sales at steady rates. (From the London New Price Current of Aug. 27.) StrcAa.—Previous rates have been sustained for West India of all descriptions, and a good demand has prevailed for bright yellow sorts, of which there is only a moderate quantity still in the market. To-day there was less inclination shown to purchase West India Sugar. From Grocers and Refiners the demand was limited, and the rates accepted were 6d per cwt under those of Friday for brown and inferior sorts, but good and fine yellow maintained the former currency. A public sale of Barbadoes Sugar went hea vily at a further decline in price of 6d per ewt. ; low yellow at 56s to 56s 6d, mid 57s to 58s, good %id 59s to 60s, good 60s 6d to 613 6d, and fine 64s to 64s 6d per cwt ; the trade generally still entertain a prejudice to wards this sort of Sugar. REFINED.—The market has assumed a firmer appear ance for Refined Sugar ; the demand from the home trade has been good, and stiffer rates given. To-day refined goods were in excellent request by the home trade ; Brown lumps at 735, and standard lumps 74s to 74s 6d - per cwt. The market is firm for bonded crushed St '' rars; and there are no sellers under 27s 6d per cwt for first quality. MAunrrnis.—A fair demand has prevailed by private contract, especially for the better qualities, and former rates are sustained. This afternoon buyers were less desirous to purchase, and a part only was disposed of, but full rates were obtained; fine yellow fetched 61s to 635, good 60s to 60s 6d, good mid 57s 6d to 595, mid 54s 6d to 56s 6d, low 53s to 545, fine brown 52s to 52s 6d, good 60s to 51s 6d, and ord 48s to 49s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—For Bengal the demand has increased, and by private treaty several parcels of strong yellow and the better, sorts of white have been disposed of at rather higher rates. This afternoon 572 bags of Bengal Sugar were offered at auction ; nearly the whole was damaged, and of low quality, and was chiefly taken in ; brown drainage damaged at 42s to 475, low soft yellow 51s to 525, damp ditto, 50s, low soft white 56s 6d, and damp ditto 55s per cwt. There was less business doing by private contract, and easier rates were accepted for common sorts. FOREIGN.—The market has still a firm appearance for all descriptions of Foreign Sugar ; for White Havannah there has been a better demand, and the rates paid are rather above those previously quoted. To•-day the mar ket was better supplied ; at public sale 587 boxes 18 brls of Cuba, and 1,292 boxes Havannah were brought for ward ; nearly the whole was disposed of ; white fetched full rates, but brown and yellow 6d to Is per cwt cheaper. Cuba, good white fetched 27s to 28s, low to mid 25s to 26s 6d, washed 24s 6d, good sound yellow 20s to 20s 6d, mid 19s 6d, low 18s to 18s 6d, washed 19s ; Havannah went at 31s to 31s Gd for fine white, 29s to 30s for good, 28s Gd for mid, 25s to 27s 6d for damaged, 20s to 20s 6d for good sound yellow, 19s 6d for mid, 17s 6d to 18s 6d for low, 18s 6d to 19s for damaged, and 16s to 17s for low to good sound brown. MoLassEs.—For West India prices are kept low by the heavy stock ; a gaod demand however has prevailed. This afternoon some parcels of West India were sold privately, but at the low rates of 20s to 24s per cwt. Those parties however that were anxious to rea lise, have mostly disposed of their stocks. Fatar.--In Currants there has been a good business transacted ; the supply is falling off, and prices rule firm at 47s to 49s for Patras, and 41s to 43s per cwt for Zante and Cephalonia. To-day accounts were re ceived from the Islands and the Morea, up to the 11th August, stating that the Currant crop had been much injured, and would be less than it was last year. Holders here, in consequence, displayed increased firmness; indeed, several of them would not name a price. The nearest quotations are 48s to 51s for Patras, and 42s to 45s for Zante and Cephalonia. Raisins have met with ready purchasers ; red Smyrna at 43s to 445, and Sun 38 3 per cwt. COFFEE.—The trade have shown little inclination to purchase West India Coffee, and the market having been better supplied, a decline in prices of 2s per cwt has taken . place. This afternoon Havannah of sound quality was all taken in above the value, fine ordinary at 43s 6d to 44s 6d, good ordinary 39s to 41s; the damaged at moderate rates, first class at 33s 6d to 35s 6d, second do 31s 6d, third ditto 28s 6d, and sea damaged and re packed 275. Ceylon was taken in Is above the value, good ordinary at 565, and ordinary 54s ; 70 bags were, however, sold at 57s for fine ordinary, and 46s 6d to 54s for damaged in the country. Trinidad fine fine ordinary at 62s to 655, fine ordinary 56s to 60s, and ordinary 50s to 52s per cwt. . _ TEA:—The market has a firm appearance for nearly every description of Tea. None has been offered at auc tion. Common Congou has been fetching Mid to 1 Id, good common 110 to is Oid, but middling and middling blackish leaf is ld to is 3d, good blackish leaf is 3A-d to Is 6d, fine and Pekoe descriptions is bid to 2s 4d, Pouchong at sid to 9d for common to good, and superior 9-id to is per lb. Souchong has met with a slow sale, and piices are not so firm. Scented Orange Pekoe was in brisk demand, and the supply being small prices continue high; sales made at 3s ld to 3s 5d per lb. Plain Orange Pekoe at Is 7d to 2s 4d. Twankay, is 2d to is 3d paid for com mon, Is 4d to Is 8d for middling to middling brightish leaf, and is 9d to 2s 5d for superior Hyson kind. Gun powder and Imperial have been disposed of at very full rates. For Hyson 2s 5d to 2s 6d per lb is the value of common quality. In Young Hyson and Caper more business has been transacted, and prices have an upward tendency. For Black and common Green Tea prices rule under those of last season, but for fine eons they are rather above those of that time. To day several parcels of Tea were sold at firm rates ; sound common Congou, cash, is Rot to be purchased under I Id per lb. SPlCES.—lmporters of Cassia Ligneo, lire still anxious sellers, and have submitted to a reduction on previous rates of Is to 2s per cwt. Nutmegs have met with more attention, and full rates paid. Singapore fine bold brown at 5s 2d, good 3s 8d to 3s 9d, good middling 3s 6d to 3s 7d middling 3s 4d to 3s sd, low middling 3s, and worm eaten 6d to is Id. Mace, Singapore fine bright at 5s 7d, good 4s 6d to 4s 9d, middling 3s 2d to 3s 6d, inferior 2s Bd, mouldy is 10d—a very small part for exportation only was, however, taken in at Is per lb for low old. Cloves have fallen 2d per lb, Penang at 2s 5d to 2s 7d for fine bold bright, and 2s to 2s 3d for good. Black Pepper is held for the former value. Cinnamon 2d to 3d per lb above those of the last quarterly sale. RlCE.—lmporters of Bengal are not inclined to sub mit to any further decline in prices, and have refrained from offering any at public sale. This afternoon there was a limited demand only for Bengal Rice, and 1,183 bags at auction were partly disposed of, but full prices were obtained ; mid pearly white went at lOs 6d to 11s, good mid 11s to lls 6d, sea damaged first class 10s 6d to 11s, second and third ditto 7s 6d to 10s, sea damaged and repacked 8s 6d to 9s, Indigo ditto lOs 6d to Its 6d ; the remainder was taken in at 12s to 12s 6d for fine bold sound white, and Its 6d to 12s per cwt for good, being above the value ; fair market rates were offered. at 841 15s to 851, not so well spermed 83, 15s. two lots of very inferior 70/ to 731 10s, and Headmatter of first quality 901 to 91115 s per tun. Fu r comtnon Fish Oils prices are rather lower than they were last year at this period, but considerably higher for Sperm. Linseed Oil is 6d per cwt cheaper, and the sup' ply is getting large, at 24s 6d to 25s per cwt. This af ternoon prices were firmer for Southern Oil, and at pub lic sale 381 casks, equal to 300 tuns, were sold at 311 10s to 32/ 5s ; 40 casks of Sperm Oil sold at 791 to 801 for American, one lot very low 701, and Headmatter 901 59 to 90/ 15s per tun.

THE MOORS.—The accounts from the numerotte sporting grounds in the county continue to represent the sport as unusually excellent, notwithstanding that the weather has not been, as a whole, for the past eigh t days, particularly propitious. The quantity of bir ds arriving at, and passing through, the city, on their route to all parts of the compass, is enormous, and almost beyond precedent.— Perthshire Advertiser. ABERDEENSHIRE MOORS.—The accounts from th e different shooting quarters at the head of this county' and adjoining districts, are of the most favourable de' scription, and seldom have we heard of all parties being so generally delighted as is the case this season. Ther e is rarely any change among the sporting tenants in that district. The Duke of Leeds still continues at Igs f Lodge ; Sir Alexander Duff, and a numerous pal ' is at Corriemulzie ; Mr. Edmunds and Captain gr hold occupy Glencallader ; Colonel Towers has Crie"' on the Invercauld West Deer Eorest ; Messrs. Barker , Fowler, and party the Spittal shootings ; Sir Be jamin Hall, and Lord Castlereagh and party, Gairnsh ie) and Moss of Monaltrie ; Sir F. Sykes and W.O Corndavon ; Lord Henry Bentinck, Glenavon and Tom tout shooting ; Sir George Sitwell, Balmoral de Tabley and Mr. Warburton, Abergeldie ; Messrs' Lightfoot, Boyd, and party, Glenmuick ; and Sir Fr A e derick Stovin, Deskrieshiel. The birds are describ e ', as being not only most abundant, but strong and eleif i grown. In general, the parties seem to have aversg7 about 40 brace a gun the first day. Sir Benjanw: Hall has one day since, we believe, bagged 69 britc ° .' while another gentleman of his party shot 40 braee,, two hours on the hill called the Brown Cow. CaPt s :, Bell, in the Glassault, bagged 68 brace, six white he r r and a roebuck, although not on the ground till late lt i f the day ; while Mr. Boyd (a gentleman upwards seventy years of age) brought hcane his 50 brace fry: Glenmuick. All that seems wanted is a return of foe% able a eather to render this one of the most memora n ' seasons in the annals of grouse shooting.—Aberd e ' Journal. FIRE AT HANDFORD HALL.—Between e i ght m! nine o'clock on Thursday evening, a fire broke out ° the Lamb-fair Farm, at Handford Hall, in this tel l ; which created extraordinary alarm in the irnraed' s neighbourhood. The premises, which are of great e% tent, are surrounded by a water-course and pale-fen The farm servants had left work about an hour when t • alarm was given. The flames were seen issuing frog!, large straw-stack which stood in a corner of the ye; close to the fence, and immediately adjacent there re e ' wl a range of corn and hay-stacks, forming a ch,,,, line of communication with the farm-house, Pi barns, granaries, stables, and other out-houses. „ At large number of persons who were assembled at the P . ; quickly collected, and the engines were brought frt e Ipswich, together with the police and a party !"a 4th Light Dragoons. By zealous and well-reu t i o efforts, the flames were prevented from extending t° je corn-stacks, which, owing to their position, must ba inevitably spread destruction over the whole of the P 7, mises. The straw-stack was, however, wholly c ° r sumed, but the loss is inconsiderable. It has been &se e m tained, from examination, that the fire originated in fence, a portion of which is charred, close to the s where the straw-stack was situate. This fact raiseL,a presumption of wilful design, but as yet no clue has To obtained to account for the outrage, nor is any Per' . suspected.—lpswich Express. 14 PLEASING RESULTS.—With the gaiety assumed J , nature in the brightness of the summer season there- 0 0 few disinclined to participate; and in pursuit of t t i b l rational enjoyments personal egremens, in all of variety, are necessarily objects of desire—thos e ..o which the perfection and durability are at once ob li in and important, meet their most available preservati/o Gowland's Lotion ; first, as a decided remedy P r ' cutaneous impurities ; and: secondly, as an elegant , n' er f and effective appendage to the toilet, removing e f d species of local discolouration, defending the skin f , r , vd all the well-known effects of heat upon its surface , ...h , as contributing largely to continued delicacy and fri ' ness of the complexion.
