PORTUGAL. SOUTHAMPTON, AUGUST 20.—The Peninsular and C riental Company's steamer Montrose, Captain R. . Evans, arrived this morning at nine o'clock, from ti Peninsula, bringing all the Peninsular mails. Her dates of departure are as follow :—From Gib- Ili tar, August ; Cadiz, August 12 ; Lisbon, August 14; Oporto, August 15 ; and Vigo, August 16, at won. Ships of war lying at Gibraltar—Her Majesty's shiya Caledonia and Formidable, and her Majesty's steamer Vesuvius. Vessels passed off the Rock of Lisbon—The Liver pc )1 steamer, on the 14th ; the Royal Tar, on the L th, is the bay. Specie on board-8 packages of specie ; full cargo of fruit, 7 head of cattle. *ssengers-28. 'No French walipteamers are at Cadiz, taking in ds and.provisioneor the French fleet:at Mogadore. Lie Montrose flings a few interesting facts re -Qting the bombardment of Tangiers. Prince de Jetilville alone digcharged 3,000 shots. The Moors r* urned the fire with a rapidity which astonished ft it enemies. The Suffren received 40 shots: in her The Moors fought their guns as long as they vv. - a serviceable. iler Majesty's steamers Heela and Vesuvius were qp - etly looking on the whole of the action, as well as the American frigate Columbia. I'he town itself has not suffered. The Portuguese Gensul's house having been abandoned by the persons in charge, is the only one which has been injured. 11-e destruction of the works is not so complete as ball been represented ; many of the guns have been fo Ind still serviceable. There are 23,000 troops at Rabat, and 1,500 cavalry at Tangiers. The free communication with Tangiers, since the ?rues left, is re-established. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OP YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—An attack on a particular minister for inc >mpetency is out of the pale of recognised Parlia mentary warfare; and criticisms of the press on the pa; gonnel of an administration are apt to be indis cmainately put down to party hostility. If any one were to move, in either House, an address to the Crown to move Lord Aberdeen, the Gi vernment would shit/ the issue, and make it a ques. tion of confidence • and the Opposition would for the most part join wilt: the Government in disceuntenanc in; an unsatisfactory and invidious and (on party principles) inconvenient mode of raising the confi dence question. As for us, we are supposed to be only pursuing our calling in denying all manner of ability to all the members of her Majesty's present ad nimstration ; and a doubt of Lord Aberdeen's Ca: tacity will be read, at least by all who are of op pc-4e political belief, as dislike of his politics. We Tri.l not stop to inquire how much this belief in the in sir eriby of newspaper criticisms on men is the fault of the press itself, or of the whole system of party ; or ho v much it is only poor human nature after all, not re e•-e apparent in the effect of our political likings on .ur judgments, than in the Tory's disbelief of all h(' reads in the Globe, and concurrence in the II 'raid's depreciation of all the eminent members of 0 position. But we will say this for our own sin cerity and desire to be fair—that we should as firmly n Cdse to disparage Sir Robert Peel's intellectual and meral claims to the respect of those who differ from hi a, or Sir James Graham's administrative ability, as we now declare our belief that Lord Aberdeen is ut equal to the crisis in foreign affairs which his own incompetency has chiefly brought about ; and th 't we should no more think of denying Lord A: ordeen's desire to promote England's interests to tl e utmost, and maintain his country's honour, tba awe can lieve in his ability to execute his desires. fl; e utmos ossible, of course, is done, in the for m, .tion of a overnment, towards placing men of ade qt: ate ability at the head of all the chief departments, at. l distributing- appropriate knowledge and talent at ong them. Common prudence will lead the Pre re;er to do this. But then what are the circum st•;aces which determine " the utmost possible ?" Tle choice of men is restricted, first of all to ti ! members of one party, which may be sterile it talent, though unscrupulous Peer-makers who have g• le before have made it numerous in one branch of ti , Legislature, and money and proprietary power in the othr. Then the choice, thus limited to begin w th, may be further narrowed by party conven ti, nalities and engagements. Lord Lyndhurst must pi .side over the ourt of Chancery, as long as he V. ;:;11CS it, while his friends are in power, however ir:lch Chancery suitors may me the indolence of his oi I age ; Lord Stanley's party services must be re quited by a leading office, even at the risk of sacri fi, . )g colonies to the impetuosity of temper, which as n. , ch spoils the Minister as it makes the orator effec t -; and prescription gives the Foreign-office to Lord .1i erdeen. But this is a moment when nerve, deci s, e, vigour, and a clear head are imperatively needed it the Foreign-office; and who gives Lord Aberdeen ci (lit for any of these qualities ? At such a moment, tf-, party conventionality which keeps him in o:liee may bring u', before we know where Ix( are, into war, which foresight and rea at - iable boldness might have averted, or save 1.1 from It by some new weak • concession, un s )rthy of our country's position, and sure to increase or difficulties in the end. Sir Robert Peel's control ot Lord Abo-deen alone gives hope to the public of a site •essful issue for the present crisis in our relations wi h Franceof reparation for the wrongs at Otaheite, of he prevention of French occupation of Tangiers, of th frustration of French designs upon Tunis. But Sir B heft Pgel cannot always be at his elbow. And at ti i critical time what irretrievable mischief may bt done any day, with one stroke. of his pen, by the F( •eign. Minister, who blundered out the excuse for et: ciutrage on Mr. Pritchard that he had ceased to lx Consul, and who has been able to see no reason L. demanding punishment of the French Consul at Tunis, who unwarrantably interfered with our Consul's performance of his duty in respect to the trr t of a Maltese murderer, and by a series of ye - atious intrigues among the Maltese at Tunis, en di gered our Consul's life ? And if there be, as we fe - ently pray there may,; a successful issue out of th present difficulties, will 4 Sir Robert Peel continue to intrust to Lord Aberdeen's weak trembling hands th foreign policy which he has already so grievously in -managed ? 'STANDAT:Pc —The Morning Post has extracted from the John Bull an article of some length, de nou icing the Ministerial plans for the improvement of Ire 'and. To our judgment, there is nothing surprising in he displeasure of the John Bull at the plans in ques th 1, or in the adoption of that displeasure by the 'rning Post. It would be extremely difficult to sug gi any measure of the present Government with w J'ch these parties would not find some fault. Fifteen years ago, indeed, when the battle of the Pro teF ;ant constitution was to be fought in good earnest, our Contemporaries were a little more tractable ; but then the conttst concerned principles, not private interests, and when did factious writers care about principles ? In 1829 the principle of the Pro testant constitution was abandoned, and little hope se :rued to remain for the Reformed Church in the Uelltd Kingdom. Its legal defences were thrown do ;n ; and in the only portion of the United King dom in which a popular influence was acknowledged by the Legislature, namely, in Ireland, the popular iniuience was hostile to the Church. All true Pro ter „ants then saw, what we believe escaped the notice of the John Bull and Morning Post, that a Parliamentary reform, which would balance the popular influence in Ireland by a popular in fla,nce in Great Britain, was indispensable to protect the Church and the country from ruin. The remedy we a rough one, and attended with some risk, but it wc.i the only remaining remedy. The Protestant peple of this country adopted it : the Irish Romanists tut I disqualified themselves to resist by their recent • t~ ogle : a Parliamentary reform was carried, with sirhy objectionable details beyond dispute, but a Pe liamentary reform which, in substance, gave to the people that independent influence upon the Legis lat re which allowed the Church to defend herself, lin I to defend the interests of the Protestant relig ion , much better th an e i ther had been defended by the patrons of schedule A and schedule B. The re form of 1832, in fact, to a great extent, re paired the evil of the Bill of - 1829, by placing the Protestant Church i n I reland directly under th e protection of the Protestant people of Er.c;land. We are well aware that the confidence for a few years very unworthily reposed in the deters by whom the Parliamentary Reform was e ft, e ted, exposed the Irish branch of the Church to some severe trials, and to actual injury; but this state of suffering, incident, perhaps, to evtl7 violent change, soon found its term, an d the last Ministerial revolution has placed the Iri,h branch of the Church upon a foundation to which every hour must give additional strength. Tia re is now no question of the safety o f the Church in Ireland, we hear of no projects for buy ing if the assaults of enemies by surrender of its .pr l'erty or of its dignity--no propos i t io n to arm its surrnies with new means of injuring it. No; the rne.:sures by anticipation condemned are measnres the ediate and dirt object of which is, no doubt, to rai-- the Roman Catholic population of Ireland to the • ition of the other Roman Catholic populations of rurope—a level to which they have not yet approached, and to incorporate them, as far aa the difference of religion will permit, with the mass netla British poMation ; but the remote and indirect 061 . - vt of this must be greatly to augment the power and efficiency of th( • Protestant Church. We see in these measures pree •isely that system for which we have perseveringly o mtended—not for one or two ad ministrations, or for I calf a dozen or a dozen years, but from the first establishment of this journal, 16 years ago—the system nar• ely, of reforming the Romanist clergy, through tb , .laity of their own communion (the only way in w hicli a Romanist clergy ever was or ever will be refo ma i), and reforming the laity by kindness, by encour egement, and by instruction. The reverse of this was • lie rs-olicy which brought Ireland to her present—ma y we not rejoice in rather saying her late—conditioi i. The plan of Government in troduced by Lord , Glenelg, of governing Ireland by the aid of the. priests, had been pretty con stantly pursued from. 1818 to 1842, with what effect upon the Romanist r t ipulation, and with what injury to the Protestant II 1 tenst, we can all see. "It is certain," says De B ktz, " that in government you can never make use of an c*der without adding greatly to the power of that order." And there can be no question th at the Glenelg scheme of Irish government info utely augmented the power of the priests, the natural enemies of our Church and therefor e of England, the natural enemies, too, of intelligence, civilisation, national prosperity, and whatever detrac is from an authority founded in ignorance, and its companion, poverty. Let us hope, then, that the Glemilg policy is about to be reversed —that the highAer and middle classes of Roman Catholics are invited to a complete incorporation with their Protestant fellow-citizens, whose society they must naturally have so many motives to cultiv ate. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUGUST 21, 1e44. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Aug. 20.) SUGAR.--Importers of West India submitting to a de cline on previous rates of 6d per cwt, has occasioned a considerable increase in the demand for all descriptions. To-day West India Sugar was in excellent request for the scale and refining purposes ; and the rates paid were 6d per cwt above those previously quoted for good and fine yellow kinds ; all other sorts fully sustained the former currency ; some boards of fine yellow Antigua were disposed of at 66s 6d to 68s per cwt; the private purchases reached 550 hhds, &c. At a public sale of 144 hhds 6 trcs of Barbadoes Sugar, the trade evinced little inclination to operate in consequence of the large proportion of Foots it contained; prices declined 6d to is per cwt, anal a part only sold; fine yellow 63s 6d to 64s ; good Gls to 62s ; good middling 59s to 59s 6d ; and middling 57s to 58s 6d per cwt. REFINED.—The home trade have been induced to take large parcels of refined goods, in consequence of lower rates having been accepted. To-day a good deal of business has been transacted in Refined goods, but prices do not improve; brown lumps selling at 72s 6d to 735, and Standard Lumps 73s 6d: Bonded Crushed Sugar is much wanted, and sales for delivery made at 27s 3d to 27s 6d per cwt. MAURITIUS—The market having been largely sup plied, has produed a decline on former rates of Gd per cwt. A good demand, however, has prevailed for all descriptions—fine yellow at 62s 6d to 63s Sd, good mid dling to good 57s to 59s 6d, low to middling 53s to 56s 6d, good to fine brown 50s to 535, middling to good middling 46s to 49s 6d, low and very low 40s to 455, common to middling grey 52s to 565, and good 56s 6d to 58s per cwt; the chief part consisted of the lower qualities. This afternoon a fair demand existed, principally for all sorts of Mauritius, and former prices were maintained; there was no public sale. EAST INDlA.—lmporters of Bengal Sugar have again supplied the market freely, good and fine white and strong yellow sorts met with ready purchasers at full prices, but for all inferior kinds the demand has been limited, and a reduction on former rates of 6d to is per cwt has been accepted. This afternoon some desire was shown to purchase Bengal Sugar, and the parcels sold privately were at full prices. FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale, but pri vately some parcels of brown Bahia were sold at 18s to 19s per cwt. The Dutch Trading Company have de clared 45,000 baskets and boxes of Java Sugar for auc tion on the sth of September.

In Foreign more business has been transacted at previous rates. TEA.--Importers of black and green Tea have shown firmness, but there has been a falling off in the demand. If merchants had submitted to a slight decline in prices, it would have occasioned the principal part of the Tea offered to be disposed of. To-day there was more busi ness transacted in Tea, and the market has a firm appear ance ; sales of common and good sound common Congou, cash, mad 2 privately at 10}d to Is per lb. CovsEE.-Importers of West India are not disposed to submit to lower prices, and supply the market spa ringly. This afternoon Mocha Coffee was in limited demand, and of 817 bales at auction a very small part only found buyers at a decline on previous rates of is per cwt-middling brownish clean garbled went at 703 Gd to 71s 6d, rather broken 56s to 58s, triage 20.3 to 225, but the remainder of sound quality was taken in at 72s for good mid greenish, 683 to 70s for mid, 58s for ord, and 82s for good yellow.

For other sorts of yellow prices are firmer; New South Wales fetched 36s to 42s 3d ; 211 South American 35s 9d to 37s 6d; North American, 40 to 425; Cape, 44s 3d; Town Tallow at 40s 6d to 41s per cwt nett cash.

Gallipoli fetched 451 to 46/, Spanish 431 to 444 and Barbary 39! to 401 per tun. The fortunate change in the weather, and the de lightful sunshine of the last few days, have revived the harvest operations with great spirit. Carting wheat was resumed on Saturday, being continued in many places to a late hour at night, and yesterday a very large breadth was cleared. The grain, of course, is rather discoloured, but the damage is not so great as was feared, and the gloomy apprehensions which prevailed at one period last week are now dispelled. At Braintree market, on Wed nesday, as much as 41. advance over that day fortnight was asked for old wheat, but not more than 50s. was rea lised.—Essex Herald. NEW GAMI3.—W e hate already shown that larks are classed in France as game, and we now find that sparrows are within the same category. Two cases have just been brought before the tribunal of Villefranche, in which the delinquents were each fined 50f., the minimum of the penalties—one for having eight of these birds, and possession. the other twelve, PRICES OF SHARES IN CANALS, RAILWAYS, BANKS, ASSURANCE AND OTHER COMPANIES' STOCK.

In this case the bankrupt carried on the business of a wholesale draper, in Friday-street, and to-day was fixed for his adjourned last examination. The bankrupt's accounts on a previous occasion were objected to, in con sequence of the small profits which appeared to have been made on transactions to the amount of 38,626 L, and in his amended balance-sheet, presented to-day, he gave a long statement of his various purchases, showing the manner in which he had disposed of his goods, whether at a profit, at a loss, or at cost price. Mr. Reed appeared for the assignees ; and Mr. Thomas attended as counsel for the bankrupt. The bankrupt underwent a lengthened examination relative to this profit and loss account, but being quite a matter of figures the detail would be very uninteresting. One curious fact transpired in the course of the evidence, viz., that in the trade a description of goods called " lead ing articles," were sold at a small profit, and even some times at a loss, to induce purchasers to take other goods, which would yield ten or twelve per cent. In answer to an inquiry from the Court, it was ad mitted that this statement of profit and loss was not the actual result of the bankrupt's books, but the best ac count he could give from his memory. After some discussion, Mr. Commissioner FANE declared that he should pass the bankrupt's last examination, it being desirable that everything connected with the estate should be speedily settled, so that the circumstances should not have escaped from the recollection of the parties concerned. The question of certificate could not bo at all affected by the passing of the bankrupt on the present occasion, and that question he meant to decide on an early day, and while the features of the case were fresh in his recollection. The bankrupt then passed, and received his protection, on the understanding that he immediately applies for his certificate. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 19. (Before the LORD CHIEF BARON.) Joshua Foster and Thomas Smith, neither more than eighteen years of age, were indicted for robbing John Davies, ensign in the 32d Regiment, of his watch. Mr. Cardwell conducted the prosecution ; the pri soners were defended by Mr. Wilkins. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Davies, a young gentleman, about nineteen years of age, that, on the evening of the 2d of April last, he was returning to the barracks in Manchester, and passing along in front of the infirmary in company with two other officers, both younger than himself, when they were suddenly, with out any provocation, set upon by several persons. The parties met them and passed, but immediately turned round and attacked them from behind. Mr. Davies was first struck on the side of the head, and knocked down, but recovered his feet, and was a second time thrown to the ground. While getting up the second time, one of the assailants put his hand inside the prosecutor's coat and pulled out his watch. The guard broke, and the watch fell on the pavement. Mr. Davies picked it up, put it in his pocket, and closed with one of the attacking party, whom he recognised as Foster. A policeman, hearing the disturbance, came up, and some one calling out " Joe, hero's the peelers," Foster ran away. He was pursued by the policeman, and caught, but he succeeded in breaking from the officer's hold and making off. Ho was again pursued and taken, Mr. Davies never having lost sight of him. The other assailants ran away. Mr. Laurie and another gentleman, both very young, who were in the company of the prosecutor, corroboratd this statement. They were unable to identify any of the parties. Mr. Laurie, it was admitted, was rather fresh, and bad spoken in a jocular way to several ladies of a certain class whom they had met. He denied, however, that he had spoken to or in any way insulted two women who were in company with the men by whom they were attacked. A. female of a certain class, who came up while the scuffle was going on, identified Smith as one of the party. He was striking at one of the officers. His LORDSHIP, at the close of the case for the prose cution, intimated that he did not think there was any case against Smitb. In summing up, he left it to the jury to say whether they thought there was an intention to rob these par ties, or whether the watch had been pulled by the guard out of the prosesutor's pocket in the course of a scuffle arising out of some affront, real or supposed, and not begun with any intention of committing a robbery.— Verdict, Not Guilty. James Connor was indicted for burglariously entering the house of Frank Mtwara, at Staleybridge, with in tent to steal. Mr. Whigham conducted the prosecution. The pri soner was defended by Mr. Monk. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor, that he is a dealer in rags at Staleybridge, and occupies a house of eight rooms, of which, however, cnly two of those below are occupied—one as a stable, and the other by himself. On Tuesday, the 21st of May, ho had gone to Manchester with a quantity of rags, for which he, as usual, was paid in ready money. The prisoner saw him set off in the morning, and return in the evening. The prisoner had been frequently at the house of the prosecutor selling rags. On the evening of that day the prosecutor retired to rest about ten o'clock. A person of the name of Hayes slept with him. There was very little furniture in the house—merely a bed and an old hamper. His trousers, containing his money, were put under his head. In the middle of the night, he was awakened by a noise in the room, and looking up he saw, indistinctly, a man about the middle size standing at the foot of the stairs leading to the upper rooms. The man, seeing that the inmates were alarmed, ran up stairs, and the prosecutor could then perceive he had no shoes on. While Hayes and the prosecutor were putting on their trousers, they heard the person getting out of the win dow. The glass was broken, and the party could froir the window readily get on the roof of a pigstye, and from thence into a yard communicating with the next street. They went out of the house, and took different directions, for the purpose of, if possible, intercepting the intruder. Hayes went rou n d t o th e b ac k, an d saw a person whom he believed to be the prisoner coming out of the yard. He was, however, unable to seize him. Near the door of the prosecutor was found a pair of shoes, which were very positively sworn to by a person who lived in the same house with the prisoner as a pair which he (witness) had sold to him. Verdict, Guilty.—To be imprisoned for twelve months. James Howarth, aged 19, was indicted for a burglary in the house of James Howarth, at Walmesley-cum- Shuttleworth. The prisoner, it appeared, was a distant relation of the prosecutor, and had, some time before this occurrence, been on a visit with him. It appeared that, taking ad vantage of the knowledge th us acqu i r ed, he took an opportunity of breaking into the house and carrying away a sum of 701 in silver,-besides a few guineas and notes, to the amount of upwards of 4001., which were in a box at the head of the stairs. The silver he spent, but the guineas were found in his possession. The notes, with the box in which they were contained, he had put at the foot of the hedge near the prosecutor's house, and afterthey he was were, taken into custody.—Guilty. on the prisoner's information, found there To be imprisoned for twelve calendar months. CIVIL SlDE.—(Bofors Mr. Justice CitEsswELL.) ALMS V. GARDINER. This was an action on the case against an attorney for negligence. Mr. Martin and Mr. Robinson for the plaintiff ; Mr. Knowles, Mr. Watson, and Mr. Cowling for the de fendant. The plaintiff in this case had formerly been an artist, and had, in the exercise of his profession, saved a sum of about 3001. He subsequently entered the church, and in the beginning of the year 1840 he wrote to the de fendant, a solicitor, with whom he had for some time been acquainted, to consult him about an investment for this sum. The defendant directed him to pay the money into Barclay, Tritton, and Co.'s Bank to the defendant's credit witk the Lancaster Bank, and shortly after wrote to say that he had obtained an eligible investment on the joint and several bond of two persons of the name of Baines, father and son, the elder being a farmer at Chip ping, near Clithero, and the younger keeping a shop as a chemist and druggist at Manchester. He described the father as possessed of a nice estate, and the son as having married into a respectable family. The de fendant, it appeared, had subsequently lent the same parties 2001. on his own account. It proved that the farm cultivated by Mr. Baines the elder, ho had in right of his wife, by whose father it was left to her for life, and after her death to her children. The son carried on business for some time at Manchester, but failed in qualifying as a surgeon, fell into difficulties, and was finally obliged to give up his shop—his wife, who was of a respectable family, but who brought him no fortune, being obliged to go back to her friends. It appeared, too, that at the time the money was lent, the father was not in good credit, and proved unable to repay it. Mr. KNOWLES addressed the jury for the defendant, contending that the services which he had sought to perform for the plaintiff were those of friendly advice, and not in the course of his business as an attorney ; and that therefore ho was not required to do more than take the same care in investing the money of the plain tiff as he had alone in investing his own. His Lordship summed up, and The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages, 3001. OXFORD CIRCUIT.--Gloucester ' Aug. 19. CROWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. SergeantATCLIERLEY.) This morning having been specially appointed for the disposal of the charges of rapes and unnatural offences comprised in the calendar, they were accordingly taken at the sitting of the Court, and as they were more than usually numel•ous, they occupied nearly the whole of the day. Samuel Pates was indicted for an unnatural crime, committed with a mare at Charlton Kin g s, on the 4th of July last. Mr. Skinner prosecuted ; Mr. Coo ke defended the prisoner. The evidence was incomplete, and t he accused wa s accordingly acquitted. Robert Crook was indicted for a similar offence, com mitted on the 6th of May last, at Bourton-on-the-hill, in this county. Mr. Skinner prosecuted ; Mr. Huddleston defended. The details of this horrible case do not, of course, admit of r eca pit u l a tion ; suffice it to say, that it ter minated in a conviction, and that sent ence of death w as immediately recorded. The above two cases, and the investigation of a charge of rape, occupied the time of the Court during the whole day. There still remain six similar cases, which will be taken to-morrow. THE Moons.—We understand that bit Is are very plentiful thi s y ear on In,c;leb) rou gh and the surroundin g moors.

George Middleditch, 29, a private in the Coldstream Regiment of Guards, was indicted for feloniously ac cusing Major-General Thackeray of an offence of an atrocious character, with intent to extortmoney from him- Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Ballantine conducted the pro secution ; and Mr. Prendergast appeared for the pri soner. The facts of the case will be fresh in the recollection of our readers, as they have only recently appeared in the police reports. It will be recollected that the prosecutor, while on his way home, early on the evening of the 20th of June, was accosted and annoyed by thu Arisoner, until he at length called a policeman and gaXt c him ifi charge, upon which the prisoner accused him 'of an abominable offence. At the station-house the prisoner was anxious not to press the charge, but he was com pelled to do so ; and upon an investigation taking place before the magistrates at Marlborough-street Police-office, the charge made by the prisoner was at once discovered as having evidently only been made for the purpose of extortion. Immediately upon this taking place Major-General Thackeray preferred an indictment for perjury against the prisoner, but as there were some technical difficulties in making out that charge, the pre sent indictment for felony, under the statute, was even tually proceeded with. When the evidence for the prosecution had been gone into, Mr. PRENDERGAST contended that inasmuch as no de mand for money, or any mention of money, had been proved to have been made by the prisoner, the specific charge contained in the indictment was not made out, and that the defendant, therefore, ought to be acquitted. The RECORDER said that in cases of this description it very seldom happened that persons made a direct de mand for money. He thought that the intent and ob ject of the prisoner must be left to the jury. Mr. PRENDERGAST then took som other technical ob jection, but the Recorder refused to stop the case. His Lordship then summed up, and the jury immedi ately returned a verdict of Guilty. The RECORDER, before passing sentence, told Mr. Prendergast that he thought the better course would be not to respite the judgment, but to pass sentence at once. If, however, upon consideration, the Learned Counsel should think that any of the points of law he had raised ought to be further discussed, he (the Recorder) would take care that the sentence was not put in execution until that discussion had taken place. Mr. PRENDERGAST expressed his concurrence in the course suggested by the Court. The RECORDER. then sentenced the prisoner to be transported for life, with the understanding that the pri soner should not be sent away until his counsel had an opportunity of submitting his objections to the conside ration of the Judges. As the prisoner left the bar, he exclaimed—" I have not had justice done me, that's all." NEW COURT. Cans. CoN. •ND ROBBERY ;Li; the case of George Jessop, indicted for stealing silver spoons, which had nut concluded when our Afternoon Edition went to press, The jury retired, and, after an absence of an hour, re turned into Court, and the foreman returned the follow ing verdict :—" We find the prisoner guilty, but strongly recommend him to mercy, as we believe that he sold the spoons under the impression that they were the property of the prosecutor's wife, they being marked with her initials." The COMMON SERGEANT said they had better retire again and re-consider their verdict, as it was impossible for him to receive such a verdict. The jury again retired, and after being absent some time, returned into court with a verdict of Acquittal. The prisoner was therefore discharged. Two young men, named William Dawson, aged 18, and Charles flenderson, aged 19, were found guilty of stealing twelve spoons, and divers other articles, value 61. and upwards, the property of Mr. B. White, in his dwelling-house. They were sentenced to six months' imprisonment each, with an intimation that if they were again found offending they would be transported. POLICE INTELLIGENCE (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. A man named William Thackham, shopman to Mr. Thomas Simpson, of No. 156, Leadenhall-street, hardwareman, was charged with having robbed his master. Mr. Thomas Bridge Simpson, father of the prose cutor, stated that his son, having suspected that he was robbed by one of his shopmen, adopted the plan of sending persons to purchase goods in the shop with marked money. One of them laid out and paid nine teen shillings, another ten shillings, and a third ten shillings, and it was ascertained that the prisoner, who served the customers, entered in the book the sums of seventeen shillings, eight shillings, and seven shillings, and pocketed the difference (seven shillings). It was rather curious that one of the gentlemen who made the purchases was witness's brother, whose person the prisoner well knew. The witness and his son, as soon as they found, to their surprise, that the prisoner, who had been long employed by the family, had been committing such depredations, called at his house to see whether there were any symptoms of necessity about the family, determined, if they were in distress, not only to forego prosecution, but to give him the means of setting up business in another country. They there learned that matters were quite in a different condition, and that the prisoner's wife, who was evidently unconscious of the bad conduct of her husband, was abundantly supplied with everything. William Henry Simpson, uncle to the prosecutor, and two other gentlemen, then proved that they purchased the goods with marked money of the prisoner. The first witness stated that after the purchases were made, he and his son called the prisoner into the counting-house and accused him of having received more money in those instances than he had accounted for. He said he did not know that he had. Witness then desired to see what silver he had in his pocket, and he pulled out nine shillings and sixpence, seven shillings of which were of the marked money. The prisoner immediately afterwards, upon being told that he knew he had been robbing the concern for some time, admitted that he had taken the marked money, and said—" Well, I know I have." Mr. Henry Simpson stated that he heard the pri soner acknowledge that he had taken the money, and that he had been robbing the concern for some time. The policeman who apprehended the prisoner stated that he found 4/. lOs. in the prisoner's pocket. The prisoner, who during the examination held down his head, and seemed to be overwhelmed with grief, suddenly raised himself up from the bar, and said, "My Lord, that's money that I received as presents from the manufacturers ; I hope you'll let me have it ?" The LORD MAYOR—You can apply to the Court for that money if you wish. I shall not give any order about it. It is my duty to commit you for trial. The prisoner —I couldn't support a family upon thirty shillings a week. The LORD MAYOR —And that was the reason that, instead of seeking another situation, you have robbed your master. There is nothing at all in your case of a redeeming character. The prisoner was then committed for trial. A young man, named George Wells, who has been known for some time as a common thief, was brought up under the following circumstances : James Kennelly, a bookbinder, residing at John street, Hoxton, stated that at ten o'clock on the preceding night, as he was passing over London bridge, be saw the prisoner and three others hustling two ladies. He followed the thieves, and observed one of them put his hand upon the dress of one of the ladies and take something from her person, and im mediately afterwards he saw them pass to the other side and proceed to examine a purse, which one of them said" was all right." Witness called " Police" frequently, but no policeman came, and he rushed in amongst the thieves, N . s ho knocked him about in a desperate manner, and would have probably mur dered him if a policeman had not come up at the mo ment and assisted him. Ile succeeded in apprehend ing the prisoner, but the others escaped. The LORD MAYOR said he could not help observing that the police about London -bridge were extremely negligent. Inspector Marchant stated that there were two po licemen constantly on duty on London-bridge. The complainant said that he followed the thieves from side to side on the bridge, and that some time elapsed, perhaps ten minutes, before any one came to his assistance, but the policeman who did come up saved him from more dreadful treatment. As it was, he was a- severe sufferer. He had called for the police for a long time. The LORD MAYOR—I must say that there is gross neglect in that district. It is quite impossible that the police on London-bridge could have attended pro perly to their duties, if four thieves acted in such a manner, and three of them escaped with the fruits of the robbery. Inspector Marchant said that, within a very short time, thirty thieves were apprehended on London bridge. The LORD MAYOR—The thieves go there because they know that the officers are remiss there. If the police would do their duty, we should not have com plaints of the kind. His LORDSHIP then regretted that he could not punish the prisoner more severely than by sending him to Bridewell for three months, and committed him for that period. He at the same time directed Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, to give a sovereign to Kennelly, the person who so actively followed, at tacked, and resisted the prisoner and his companions. Tho next case was a charge against a young fel low who had seriously injured a gentleman by run ning against him with a truck. It was upon that occasion stated that the defendant and another man had gone from Wood-street, Cheapside, to King Wil liam-street, hallooing and bellowing, and shouted against, and had as they proceeded, injured two other persons, without ehreLed by the police. The LORD MAYOR said that here was another charge against the police. It was extraordinary enough that the negligence of the police was more particularly observable from Cheapside to the other side of London-bridge than elsewhere. Inspector Marchant said that the occurrence alluded to did not take place within his district. The LORD MAYOR said he did not care who was the inspector of the district. The negligence was most culpable, and he was resolved upon all occasions to expose it. Edward Howe , a lad, aged about 17 years, in the employment of Mr. Martin, of Gutter-lane, silk ma nufacturer, was charged with robbing his employer. The prisoner had taken away from the warehouse three parcels, containing shawls, without being sus pected. He took one of them to a pawnbroker, whose Oloi:liman behoving that it had been rather queerly obtained, relined to lend any money upon it, and fol lowed the prisoner, who entered a boat, and called at a private house in Stamford-street. The shopman, after the prisoner left the house, learned that he be longed to Mr. Martin's warehouse, and gave:informa tion to the proprietor, who then, for the first time, learned what had been going on. It happened that the prisoner, when he employed the waterman to row him, had no money about him to pay for the boat, and actually left one of the parcels with the man as security for the fare. The prisoner, upon being taken into custody on his return to the warehouse, confessed that he had not only stolen the goods in the three parcels, but a vast deal more property, from his employer, and he gave a long list of his depredations.—Committed for trial. BOW-STREET. A respectable-looking-man, advanced in ?rears, named Win. Pindar, was brought before Mr. Twy ford, in custody of the park-keeper, charged with committing indecent assaults on two little girls in the park. The case was fully proved against the prisoner. Mr. TWYFORD committed him for trial, but ad mitted him to bail, himself in 401., and two sureties in 201. each. Mr. R. Tujill, the proprietor of the Victoria Saloon, Catharine-street, Strand, was summoned for harbour ing disorderly characters in his house. Mr. Humphries appeared for the defendant. The case was proved to the satisfaction of the Ma gistrate, and the defendant was fined in 2/. and costs, being the sixth time that he has been convicted on a similar charge, preferred by the same policeman. CLERKEN WELL. Michael Fleming, bricklayer, Tottenham-place, Tot tenham-court-road, was placed in the felons' dock, charged with feloniously cutting and wounding Bridget, his wife. The prosecutrix, a sickly, careworn-looking woman, was brought into Court by two police-constables ; her head was bound up, and she seemed labouring under pain and excessive debility. The Chief Clerk said he did not think she was inclined to prosecute. The poor woman, in a low tone of voice, replied that she had no revengeful feeling towards her husband, but she entreated that she might be protected from him in future. Mr. BROUGHTON, however, determined upon hearing the facts of the case. The prosecutrix then deposed that on the previous night, about twelve o'clock, the prisoner came home. She was in bed, and he spoke harshly to her ; after some time, however, he went to bed, but continued to speak very unkindly, She remonstrated with him, upon which he jumped up, and asked where the candle was ? She refused to tell him, fearing that he might want it to search for some weapon ; he got a lucifer-match box, and lighting a lucifer, threw it on the bed clothes. She besought of him not to be so cruel, but he seized her by the hair, and dragged her out of the bed .on the floor. She fell from the bed with so much violence that she became insensible, and recollected nothing more until she felt herself bleeding from a wound in her throat ; she was then bleeding very much. After recovering herself a little, she staggered out, and meeting a policeman, was conveyed to the hospital. Mr. BROUGHTON—Have you any children ? Prose cutrix (sobbing)—No, they are all dead, thank God. I was the mother of eight children, but they are all gone from me. Why do you say thank God ?—Oh, they are beyond the reach of his cruelty. The complainant went into further statements of inju ries inflicted, but the prisoner met them with a general negative.—He was committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERIES.—Ortavius Clarhe, a young man of liberal education and highly respectable family, stated to be the son of a deceased clergyman, was brought before Mr. Bingham, the sitting Magistrate, for re-examination upon several charges of robbing different clergymen whom he visited. He already stood committed upon two charges. In one of these cases it appeared that, on the 16th of July, he visited a gentleman named Leese, at Hoxton, and passed a good part of the day with him. The next day he called while that gentleman was from home, and being shown to his bedroom to shave and dress, he broke open the drawers, from which he stole a gold watch, several rings and other jewellery, some linen, &e., and drove off in a cab, carrying with him a valise and velvet shooting coat, telling the servant that he and Mr. Leese would probably return together at ten that night. In the other else he had, on the 23d of February, borrowed a pony from Mr. Smoothy, a farmer at Bard Crook, in Essex, promising to return it next morning ; but the prosecu tor never saw him again until last week, when he was in custody at this Court, and he then acknowledged that he had sold the pony near Smithfield for 31., because, be said, it fell sick. Sergeant Rogers, of the C division of police, who ap prehended :the prisoner on the sth instant in Queen street, May-fair, and obtained possession. of nine pawn brokers' duplicates, now brought forward several gentle men, owners of portions of the property found in pawn. Mr. Richard King Pierce, a young surgeon, living in chambers in Child's-place, in the Temple, stated that he bcame acquainted with the prisoner about two years ago, and on the 10th of last month received a note from him expressing an intention to pay him a visit. He accord ingly came and passed the evening with complainant and another gentleman named Dukes. The following morn ing he called again, and witness having to go to a lec ture, invited the prisoner to accompany him, but he declined doing so, and asked permission to remain there and smoke a pipe. Witness told him. to remain there as long as lie pleased, and appointed to meet him there at four in the afternoon, but he was never seen again until the present time, and the witness missed his case of in struments, a silver lancet case, a number of coins pierced and strung upon a string, arid other articles. Mr. Thomas William Dukes, a solicitor, stated that he occupied the same chambers as Mr. Pierce, and the prisoner passed the evening of the 10th of July with them. The next evening, when witness returned home, and informed Mr. Pierce of what had occurred, he exa mined his bed-room, and missed three gold rings, a gold pin, a razor case, pearl handled knife, and silver tobacco stopper. The three gold rings, two gold pin=, the case of in struments, lancet ease, and silver tobacco stopper were now produced by two pawnbrokers, in Holborn, with whom the prisoner had pledged them on the 11th of July, and they were identified by the respective owners. John Dennett, footman to Captain Chapvel, of 17, Queen-street, May-fair, stated that on the sth instant, the prisoner, who had formerly- been a visitor at his master's, met him at a public-house, in Queen-street, and put nine pawnbrokers' tickets into his hand to take care of for him while he went to see his mother, in Essex. Witness kept them for an hour or two, and then gave them up to Sergeant Rogers, who took the pri soner into custody. The depositions in these cases having been taken and read over, the prisoner, who appeared much dejected, and admitted his guilt, handed to the magistrate a well written letter, in which he professed to explain what he termed his " extraordinary conduct" and his motives ; and he was about to be fully committed, when another charge was unexpectedly preferred against him by Mr. Alexander Steward, a nurseryman and seedman at Salt hill, near Windsor. Mr. Stewart stated that he had known the prisoner for many years, and knew his connections to be highly respectable, but had lost sight of him for a considerable time, until about the 16th of last March, when the pri soner called upon him at Salt-hill, and having reminded him that they had been schoolfellows, proceeded to state that he had become captain and part owner of the Ruby brig ; that he was bound for Constantinople, and had been commissioned by the Sultan to select and take out with him a large quantity of seeds. He remained at the house of the complainant until the 31st of March, and in the meantime the seeds were selected and packed in wooden boxes, the prisoner stating that he was to get the money for them, and for other purposes, from his mother's lawyer, a gentleman named Sawyer, in Lincoln's Inn. They then came to town together by the Great Western Railway, and the boxes of seeds were taken in a cab to a public-house called the Essex Serpent, in Charles street, Westminster. They were about together for two or three days, and the prisoner several times borrowed complainant's watch to enable him to be punctual to his appointments. On the morning of the 3d of April he borrowed it again, and they then walked about until they came to Carey-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, where prisoner left him upon pretext of going to his mother's solicitor's for the money, and promised to return to him in an hour. He did not return,however, and complainant, proceeding to the Essex Serpent, found that the boxes of seeds had been taken away. His a atch he said was worth 41. or 51, and the value of the seeds was 301 He never saw the prisoner again until yesterday. The depositions were taken for the prisoner's commit• tal in this case also.' Mr. BINGHAM handed to the prosecutors the letter which the prisoner had addressed. to him before the last charge was brought forward. The following is a copy of the letter : " Clerkenwell Prison, Aug. 20, 1844. " Sir,—lloping your pardon for this intrusion, I take the liberty of addressing these few lines to you, being anxious to communicate with my friends, and feeling convinced that I cannot do so through a better channel than your Worship. " I stand before you charged with three distinct crimes, to two of which do I own myself guilty, namely, the first and the last ; but with regard to the horse steal ing, most decidedly not guilty . The animal was lent t o me, while in my hands it fell sick, and I thou g ht i t h est . for all p.rties to sell it ; I did wrong, it was merely an error in judgment.
