The average prices of Corn last week were, Wheat, 23f. 99c. ; Rye, 12f. 58c. per hectolitre. Wheat remains free of import duty, and may be exported on payment of 25 centimes per 1,000 kilogrames. Rye is liable to an import duty of 2I f. 50c., and an export duty of 25 centimes per 1,000 kilogrames. We see with pleasure, says the Courtier Beige, that we are not mistaken with respect either to the choice of the Dutch Ambassador to Brussels, or of the Belgian Ambassador to the Hague. The Handelsblacl has the following article : _ . . OLD COURT. (Before Lord DENDfAN, SENDING A THREATENING LETTER. Ann Roche, aged 42, was indicted for sending a threat ening letter to Arthur Palmer, Esq., a barrister, residing in Bristol, with intent to extort the sum of 3001. from him ; and William Augustus Roche, aged 10, her son, was in dicted as an accessary after the fact. There was another indictment against the prisoners for a Conspi racy to extart money. The circumstances of this case have recently been so fully detailed in our Bow-street report, that it would be superfluous to enter more fully into them on the present occasion. Sir J. Pollock, Mr. Adolphus, and Mr. C. Phillips ap peared for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson for the defence. CAPITAL, ONE MILLION STERLING. The whole paid up and invested, and entirely independent o, the amount of Premiums received ; thereby affording to the Assured an immediate available Fund for the payment of the most extensive losses, and without liability of partnership ; which the Directors consider to be highly important to those who effect Insurances in the capacity of Trustees, or otherwise in the performance of a specific trust or duty.

When policies effected by parties on their own lives are assigned to others for onerous causes, the holders are assured against the risk of the original assured dying by suicide or duelling. 6. Every facility given on moderate terms to persons going beyond the prescribed limits of the policy. 7.

Mordan and Co., London." " We — receive from our correspondent at Brussels, the news that the Viscount du Bus de Ghisignies will be ap pointed from King Leopold to the Court of the Hague, and that he will shortly arrive here. This choice would prove that the King of the Belgians as well as the Cabi net of the Hague really intends to commence in a worthy manner the relations between the two countries." The Handelsblad after passing a high eulogium on M. du Bus de Ghisignies adds We say with confidence and conviction, the nomination of two such men as Messrs. Falck and Du Bus proves that the two Governments are resolved to follow the only course which, after the separa tion, is prescribed to them by the real interest of Holland and Belgium. We find in the Handelsblad an article the object of which is to recommend to Belgium to withdraw itself from the influence of France. Holland is inclined, says that Journal, to conclude an intimate union with Belgium, in order that the two Powers may protect each other, which is the only means to preserve the independence of both countries, which might one day become the prey of powerful neighbours. These advances of Holland deserve attention, compared with the increase of duties which our Allies of the south are going to impose on our produce. KENSINGTON FETTY SESSIONS. Sir F. PoLLocx having briefly stated the circumstances of the case, said that the prosecutor, who was a gentleman of considerable eminence in the legal profession, and who held the situation of Assessor to the Court of Requests in the City of Bristol, taking into consideration the great distress under which the female prisoner was, in having a family of nine children unprovided for, and her husband confined in a lunatic asylum, and understanding also that she bad expressed great contrition for her offence, would mercifully consent to a verdict of Not Guilty being en tered on condition of the prisoners entering into their re cognizances to be of good behaviour for the future. Mr. CLARKSON, on the part of the prisoners, bad to ex press their extreme regret for having sent the letter in question, and to state that the charges brought against the prosecutor were altogether destitute of foundat ion. lie had also to express their gratitude to the prosecutor for the very lenient course which be had adopted. No witnesses being called, the Jury, under the direction of the Learned Judge, returned a verdict of acquittal on both indictments. NATIONAL LOAN I , 'UND LIFE. AS.

SLOAN and CO., Members of the Royal College of Surgeons, No. 4, Argyll-place, R.regent-street, and No. 28, Ironmonger-lane, Cheapside, may be consulted from Eight o'Clock in the Morning until Ten at Night, on every variety and stage of Syphilis with that deli cacy and secrecy they have hitherto observed. The treatment they pursue is the result of twenty-two years' extensive and successful practice in London, and will not subject any patient to confinement or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex treme nature they eradicate in eight or ten days, or if slight or recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer °4l7, and at a moderate expense. Seminal weakness, Gonor :those, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so prevalent, are treated upon those unerring principles which have insured to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of public patronage, and which it will be their future exertion to maintain. N.B.—Letters, post paid, enclosing a fee, will be answered by return, and country patients corresponded with until re covery. SIGHT AND HEARING. THE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS, Opticians and Aurists to the Royal Family, 96, Cheap. side, and 39 Albemarle—street, Piccadilly, by which thousaneis of deaf persons have been greatly benefited, is the size of a seven shilling piece, and when fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft and eissy, and not more perceptible than having a piece of wool in Its place, by which the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard with distinctness. And defective VISION is brought to nature by the use of newly-invented SPECTACLE LENSES : Immediately they are placed before weak and imperfect eyesight, either by day or candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most nainute particle is seen with great distinctness, by the use of which both the sight and hearing become much improved. The Messrs. SOLOMONS DISCLAIM all connection with persons of the SAME NAME, and the sale of Amber Spectacles: in doing so they state the HISTORY of AMBER, from the Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ore, M.D., F.R.S., &c. &C. " Amber is an indurated vegetable juice, and not produced by the laws of crystallization, but by the same causes which influence the mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often found embedded in it. Amber is most powerfully electrical by friction—very hot, to such an extent as to explode into fragments ; the workmen, too, are subject to nervous tremours in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they en counter great danger by handling such dreadful' excited electrics ; Amber grows with lime, and is apt to take fire, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to warmth that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with flame." The above Dr. lire's statements are further confirmed by Sir D. BREWSTER and Pliny, as also by Parks and Heny on Chemistry. Thedestruetive effects of such a materi a l f or Spectac l es, to i mper f ec t vision, are fully and most satisfactorily explained in Messrs . Curtis and Dollond's Second Edition on the Pre servation of Sight, Optician's an d may be ascertained at any respectable r in London. The Moasca. Solomons' newly-invented Specta c le v Lense s arc not eoii stru cted of such a material; but which are superior, an , it s bring back at once dimn ess of sight and imperfe ct vision to t original and natural state ; these Spectacles, and very small Voice Conductors for Deaf pers ons , are only to b e h ad at their Establish. ments, 96, Cheapsid, and 39, Albemarle street; Piccadilly.

Sre,..._l feel myself bound by the duty I owe to my fellow — creatures to request that you will publish the following , nosst extraor_ dinary effects of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. For a period of 3 0 years I have suffbred more than I can well expiass, but at all times have avoided taking advertised remedies, having a Power _ ful antipathy to them, until a fe w months since, after having b een laid up for 22 weeks of an attac k of Rheumatic Gout, principally co nfined to the feet, but at times it travelled to various parts of the frame, and then returning again with accumulated force to the extre mities, and to such a degree that I was delirious for five d aye and nights. I now say that, fortunately I was induced to try Bl ir's Gout and Rheum a ti c Pill s; an d, with truth, I assure yourself and the pub lic that in less than 24 hours,l was fre e from pa i n; and by the time I had taken half a box, in the inflamation and swelling had disappeared. I have the pleasure of adding that my general he alth has no way suffered, and that the effects of Blair's Pills were imperceptible. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, THE CIIEV ALIER DE LA GARDE. The testimonials of the astonishing effects of this Medicine are universally accompanied by the fact, that no inconvenience of any sort attends its administration but that the patient, viithout feeling the operation of the medici ne , is universally left in a stronger and better state of health than experienced previous to being affli cted with this disease; and in all cases of acute cuffs' Mg, great relief •is obtained in afew hours, and a cure is generally effected in two or three days.

The PROTESTANT DISSENTERS' and GENERAL LIFE and FIRE ASSURANCE COMPANY has been established with the view of calling the attention of a numerous and influential section of the community to the importance of providing, by means of Life Assurances, for the future interest of their families. It was thought that an Institution bearing their own name, and conducted principally by well-known Meineers of the Dissenting Body, would be more likely to effect this object than other Offices previously existing. The following are among the distinctive features of the Company :- 1. One-tenth of the entire profits is appropriated by the Deed of Settlement to reducing the premiums payable for Insuring the Lives of Dissenting and Methodist Ministers, or in other ways similarly beneficial to their Families. 2. Certificates of Age and Character, and of the amount of Loss in case of Fire, not required from Clergymen and Church wardens 3. A Table of Premiums for Policies payable at the age of sixty, or of Annuities to commence at that period suitable to the case of superannuated Ministers, and of other irofessional men. 4. The lowest rates of Premiums consistent with security and the payment of Policies, guaranteed by a capital of One Million. 5. Two Tables of Premiums, the one giving an interest in the profits of the Company, the other not. 6. Every facility given on moderate terms, to persons going beyond the prescribed limits of their policy. 7. Premiums may be paid, either annually, half-yearly, or quarterly, in a limited number of payments, or in one sum. 8. Loans advanced on Policies of the value of 501., or Poli cies purchased on liberal terms. 9. All Claims payable Three Months after satisfactory proof of death or earlier, on deduction of Discount. 10. Ne entrance Fee required. Prospectuses, with every variety of Tables, may be had by application at the Offices, or at anv of the Branches, which are established in most• of the principal Towns of the United King dom Fire Policies issued at the reduced rates.

THE DUCHESS OF KENT'S BIRTH-DAY.—On Saturday her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent com pleted her fifty-third year. The morning was ushered in at Kensington—so many years the residence of her Royal Highness and of her august daughter—by a merry peal from the bells of the Old Church, which was responded to by those of St. Martin-in-the-Fields and St. Margaret, Westminster. In the course of the forenoon her Royal Highness received congratulatory visits from the members of the Royal Family, and the principal members of the Nobility, &c. ; and, shortly after two o'clock, the Duchess accompanied her Majesty to Windsor, where a select circle had been invited to commemorate the day. The Royal cortege consisted of three carriages, drawn by four horses each, and attended by an escort of the 14th Hussars. In the first (an open landau) were her Majesty, th e D uc h ess of Kent, and Lady Portman; in the second, Lord Mel bourne; and in the third, Lord Byron, the Baroness Lehzen, &c. During the Royal progress through the Parks, Kensington, Hammersmi,th, Brentford, &c., both her Majesty and the Duchess of Kent were received by the numerous assemblages who lined the sides of the road, with every demonstration of respect and attachment Eng lishmen are wont to display to the Sovereign, and those they hold most dear. In the afternoon her Royal High ness's tradespeople dined together at the King's Arms Tavern, High-street, Kensington, Mr. J. Wyld, geogra pher, of 453, Strand, in the chair, when the health of her Majesty and the Duchess of Kent were drunk amid the the loudest cheering we ever remember having heard. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts followed, and the company did not separate until a late hour. In the evening the High-street, Kensington, was one blaze of light, most of the houses being illuminated, the animated scene being en livened by a band playing national airs. The houses of her Royal Highness's London tradesmen were also ,illu minated. . ESCAPE FROM GAOL.—On Tuesday night two prisoners escaped f ro m T ruro prison by cutting through clasptile secured the ofapatent padlock, and an i ron b ar w hi c h back door. GERMAN PAPERS• has been received by wa y o f Trieste, which, VIENNA, AUG. 7.-I—Yesterday and to-day fresh news according to all appearances, is considered as highly important. To-day at noon there was, in consequence, a long con sultation in presence of the Emperor, at the conclusion of which Prince Mctternich went to see the British Ambassa dor, Sir F. Lamb, who is confined to his house by illness, and had a long conference. The Aulic Councillor, Von Husgar, who is going on an extraordinary mission to Constantinople, embarked this morning on board the steam-boat, to proceed down the Danube to his destination. While there is no Turkish Ambassador here the business of the Embassy will be con ducted by M. Alaurojeny, the Councillor of Legation, who arrived from London some days ago. Letters from Syria of the 20th of July announce that the English and French fleets, consisting of 20 sail, bad anchored off that island. AUGSBURG, AUG. 13.—The report given yesterday un der the head of Smyrna, July 22, that Hafiz Pacha had gone over to Ibrahim with 20,000 men, seems to be erro neous, as it rests only on the credit of a mercantile letter from Smyrna, and is not confirme d fr om any other qu ar t er. Some letters from Trieste had indeed spoken of it, but as we have had letters from Constantinople of the 24th for some days, with which the dates of the 22d from Smyrna correspond, it cannot be supposed that all the letters from Constantinople would be silent respecting so important a piece of intelligence. DUTCH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, Arc. I3.—His Serene Highness, the Hereditary Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar has arrived here from London. It is reported that Baron Van Zuylen van Nyeveld is to be appointed Ambassador front the Netherlands to the Court of the Tuileries. NEUzEN, Auc. 12.—T0 -day a beginning was made with the dismantling of this fortress. ZEALAN D , AUG. 11.—Extraordinary exertions are mak ing to equip the Rhyn frigate, Captain Arriens, on board which Prince Henry is to go to the Mediterranean as first lieutenant. ZEALAND, Arc. 13.—We hear that instructions have been received by the several divisions of the army to make out the lists of the militia men of the class of 1837, whence it is inferred that they will be speedily dismissed on fur loughs. GUININGEN, AUG. 12.--From the report of the deputies of the States of the province it appears that in the year 1838 no fewer than eighty neiv ships were sent to sea in the preceding year, likewise a great number of new ships had been built, and at present almost all the dockyards have orders for new vessels. KONIGSBURG, Aro. 4. —The damage done by the fire the day before _yesterday is not overrated at 800,000 rix dollars (above 120,0001. sterling), of which only 130,000 are covered by the insurances. Besides the corn, of which there were 1,000 lasts of lye alone, 60,000 bushels of hemp and flax are burnt, and 7,000 tons of herrings are destroyed, also 60 lasts of flour in the royal magazines. KONIGSBURG, AUG. .7.—The weather during the last month having been favourable, the harvest has turned out well. The cutting of rye has already begun, and the pro duce is expected to be abundant. —Prussian State Ga zette, Aug. 14. It is expected that during the autumnal visit of her Majesty to Windsor, which will be about the Ist of next month, Lord Melbourne will occupy a suite of apart ments at the Castle which are situated in the Devii's Tower. RUMOURED DESTRUCTION OF THE Rus slAN FLEET.—We have this instant received the following communication. We have no time to test its accuracy, but lay it before our readers for what it is worth. We have been too often deceived by rumours to place much reliance on the present one. Information that the Russian fleet had entered the Sea of Marmora, having reached the French and English fleets, they forced the passage of the Darda nelles, and on the Russian Admiral firing into the Daphne corvette, Admiral Stopford made a signal to commence hostilities, and after about three hours' fighting, two Rus sian ships of the line, one, frigate, and five sloops, were taken and the remainder burnt. The Britannia.—[lt is worth is nothing.] CHARTIST PROCEEDINGS IN HULL.—The 12th of August has a rr i ve d —t h e d ay , so long anticipated and regarded with " high h o p e " by the Chartists as the one which was to usher i n t h e C ommonw ealth, the division of property, the abstinence from labour, has dawned upon us, and in Hull we are "as we were." Not an anvil less is struck—not a hammer less wielded—our shops are open and busy—the dock quays are thronged with labourers— scarcely a tailor less plies his needle, or a cobbler belabours his lapstone ; the " sacred month" has no charms here, for the labouring classes have wisely followed their own will, and heeded not the advice of Feargus O'Connor and his Convention. A demonstration was to have been made on the Sunday, at the Holy Trinity Church, but four Chartists only were in attendance to " implore the blessing of the King of Kings upon their endeavours." The Mayor having refused some requisitions to call a public meet ing on Monday, one was called upon the responsibility of twelve persons, and a little after eight the Chartist procession started from Salthouse-lane, consisted of seven teen persons. Well might the peaceable inl.abitants quake as this imposing and august body proceeded on its way. Arrived at the ground selcted for the meeting, Mr. John Jackson was installed the Chairman, and the whole pro ceedings were of the most insignificant kind. The Mayor, with several of the Magistrates, the Superintendent of Police, and a large body of the. Police under his command, were on the ground during the meeting. The Police were drawn up round the speakers, and every precaution was thus taken to prevent the slightest disturbance. The Magis trates acted very judiciously in being upon the ground, as it showed that not only were they determined to prevent as far as possible any disturbance, but in the event of one breaking out, they were prepared promptly to repress it. All went off quietly; an address was voted to her Majesty. The meeting broke up about eleven, and the procession, shorn cf its Liir proportions, and reduced to nine, went on its melancholy way back to Salthouse-lane. The persons composing the meeting seemed in a hurry to get away to enjoy a holyday at Drypool feast.— York Courant. ANNUITY TAx.—The number of rate-payers in arrear for this impost is upwards of three thousand. The number of persons liable for the tax is somewhere between six and seven thousand. There are thus about one half of the entire number of rate-payers in arrear for the tax. Summary warrants of poinding were, we under stand, issued yesterday (Tuesday) against a thousand and upwards of the recusants, so that the annual conflict between the clergy and the citizens seems now on the eve of being commenced. The.ranks of the defaulters having g g e e d a body been this year greatly augm ented, th e pending contest d t y lin of their fellow clergy, that may be expected to be unusu all y severe and protracted. It will be a consolation to t hose who ma y be selected as theyth e enjoy victims citizens. We should like t o know what the clergy mean to do, with the goods which ma y be distrained for non payment of the impost. Th e curious m ay be surprised to the i n sympathies this unholy o war, f w a a r so large learn that a great proportion of the articles which were carried off from the lieges last year, still lie within the precincts of the Council Chamber undisposed of, and are there quickly mouldering away into as hes. —Scottish Pilot. THE WEATHER AND CROP& m he late heavy rains in England and Ireland have thrown a tempo. rary gloom over the prosp ects of the a g ric ulturist in certain districts, but we trust no permanent injury will be the con sequence. In Scotland, the same cause of complaint has been partially experienced, thong , we sho u ld t hi nk, not to any material extent. iAyrsl!!re, high winds and heavy showers have occasional l y prevailed. O n F riday last, Ayr was visited by a bitter pelting hail-show er, w hi ch continued for some time ; and since then, the wind has blown at inter vals with considerable fury. N otw ithstanding, we are not aware that the crops have been laid or injured in conse quence; on the contrary, our neighbourhood presents some of the finest fields of grain ever witnessed , ; and, sh ou ld th e weathe r co ntinue at all favourable, harve s t is pretty confi dently expected to be general in a week or two.- We have been particularly struck with the fin e appearance of the crops on some of the Newton freedoms. Where sandy knowes, and whins, and bent, were formerly alone to be seen, luxuriant fields of w heat and oa ts now wave, with a strength of stalk and fullness of car little inferior to those of the Lothians. The improvements effected on these lots demonstrate the power of skill and capital, and prove to what a state of perfection the agricultur e of this country may be brought under the protective system. We have just learned that Mr. P. ISl‘Kinna, of Gouk's Croft, has this day cut a field of barley, in excellent condition .—Ayr Ob server. The prisoners were shortly after brought up to enter into their recognizances. The Clerk of the Arraigns said that the younger prisoner, being a minor, sureties would be required. _ _ Mr: C. PHILLIPS said that there was no desire on the part of the prosecutor to oppress; and that he was per fectly content to take their own recognizAnces. Lord DENMAN said he should not detain them on that account, as it could not be expected they could be pro vined with sureties. Mr. CLARKSON said he thought it his duty to state one fact which had occurred since the trial. One of the gen tlemen of the Jury had sent a most kind and humane note stating his desire to find employment for the prisoner and aer family. The prisoners having entered into their own recegni zances for 501. each to keep the peace for twelvemonths towards all her Majesty's subjects, and more particularly towards Arthur Palmer, jun., were discharged. William Davidson, aged 32, was indicted for embezzling various sums of money, belonging to Archibald Mitching, his master, a baker, residing in Edward -street, Portman square. It appeared that the prisoner had received various small sums from customers of the prosecutor without ac counting for the same, and that when the prosecutor dis covered these circumstances the prisoner offered to repay him at the rate of ss. per week, and subsequently at the rate of 10s. per week. Mr. PRENDERGAST addressed the Jury for the defence. The Judgo summed up, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty. Lord DENMAN, in passing sentence, said that good character and respectable appearance were aggravations of the offence which the prisoner had committed, inasmuch as they tended to throw suspicion on others, than the really guilty persons, These offences had greatly in creased of late, perhaps in consequence of the leniency with which they had been treated. The Court felt it to be its duty to mark its sense of this offence by passing on the prisoner a very severe sentence, which was, that he be transported beyond the seas for the period of ten years. Stephen Gard, convicted of stealing a lead gutter from the skittle-ground of Mr. Joseph Gurney, a licensed vic tualler, residing at Poplar, was sentenced to transportation for seven years. Edward Gurney, John Newman, and Wm. Wapshott, were indicted for stealing 155., the monies of John Saun ders. Mr. CHADWICK JONES conducted the prosecution. The prosecutor, a labouring man, residing at Isleworth, stated, that aft er h av i ng rece i ve d hi s wages , h e we nt into a public house at Isleworth,where he found the three prisoners. Newman came up to him and asked him to pull out his money, and after some conversation struck him, and forced him to produce his money, he laid 15s. on the table which the prisoner swept off the table and called for some gin, for which he paid with prosecutor's money. Wapshott then came up to prosecutor who was giving an alarm, and told him to hold his noise and struck him ; during this time the lights were put out—the prosecutor got away as soon as be could—he met Gurney the next morning, and asked him for his money, who replied, that he had one shilling left of which prosecutor should have part, this he refused ; he told a constable of the circumstances on Monday morning, and had the prisoner taken into custody. Cross-examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—There were others in the room who had part of the gin purchased with the prosecutor's money, but whom he has not given into cus tody. Mr. Grove, the landlord, brought in the gin, but prosecutor did not tell him that they were paying for the gin with his money, or that be had been robbed. He had been drinking, but Wing ..n4at ada_ciratak. as not to know what be was about. His cousin, Henry Saunders, was present. Lie did not go to the constable that night. Cross-examined by Mr. DOANE-He had been in four public•houses altogether that night. There might have been twenty persons present when these transactions took place. Cross-examined by Newman—He had said that he would r le e nd Gurney fused.fi a s He was hi n ll o ing td o ru r nk t 7 wo rol i i f he ing about t t t e i d ie it, but he , nor did he say he bore Newman animosity. Newman had a sovereign, which he held out, and offered to fight pro secutor. Re-examined by Mr. C. JONES—The prisoners were the only persons who interfered in taking his money from him. The constable who took Gurney into custody stated that Gurney said the prosecutor's money was throwing about on the table, and any person might have taken it. Wapshott had come before the Magistrates to give evidence, and was taken into custody. Mr. CHAMBERS addressed the Jury for the prisoner Gurney, and contended that this was merely a drunken row. Mr. DOANE was about to commence his address for Wapshott, when the Court and Jury intimated that they did not consider there was any case against him. Newman defended himself. Several witnesses were called to character. Lord DENMAN summed up, and the Jury acquitted all the prisoners. Henry Atfield, aged 18, convicted of stealing certain articles of wearing apparel from a yard, was sentenced to seven years' transportation, having been previously fre quently convicted. FORGED ORDERS. John Davis was indicted for uttering a forged order for goods, with intent to defraud Henry Woolcot. Miss Eliza Attwood deposed that the prisoner brought the order produced, purporting to be from Mr. Cooper, of Dartford, to the warehouse of tho prosecutor, and gave it to the brother of the prosecutor. The prisoner gave his name as John Williams. Mr. F. Woolcot, the brother of the prosecutor, stated that he received the order from the last witness, and saw the prisoner, whom he recognised as John Davis. Mr. H. Woolcot, the prosecutor, asked the prisoner if his name was not John Davis. He said, No; his name was John Williams, and that he knew Mr. Cooper well. Mr. Pearce, the chief constable of Dartford, deposed that there was only one person living in the High-street, Dartford, named Cooper, who was a plumber, and that there was no F. Cooper living in the place. Robert Nunn deposed that the prisoner came to the Spot ted Dog, where he was a servant, and asked if there were goods for Mr. Cooper. Understood that the prisoner represented himself as Mr. Cooper. The prisoner came with another man. The prisoner denied that he had ever said he was Mr. Cooper, or had told Mr. 'Woolcot that his name was John Williams. Lord DENMAN summed up, and the Jury found the pri soner Guilty. The prisoner was again charged with uttering a forged ordering, purporting to be from Mr. J. Cooper, for a quantity of horse hair, with intent to defraud Mr. Willdon. The case was clearly proved against the prisoner, who represented himself as Cooper's foreman. The circum stances were very similar to the proceeding case, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty. Lord DENMAN sentenced him to transportation for four teen years. _ _ CASE OF INSANITY.—John Happy, aged 19, was placed at the bar for the purpose of evidence being adduced as to the state of his mind—it being represented that he was in a state of insanity, and consequently unfit to be put upon his trial. The offence with which he was charged was with attempting to drown a lad on Sunday evening last, by throwing him repeatedly into the Regent's Canal, and he would have effected his object had not the unfor tunate lad been rescued from him by the bystanders. Mr. Holder is the Assistant-Surgeon of Newgate. The prisoner has been in the prison for two days, and he is of opinion that the prisoner is perfectly imbecile. It would be more satisfactory if lie could have a longer time to observe him, in order to ascertain if the prisoner was feign ing or not. Mr. G. Hoff said the •prisoner was his apprentice, and had been for some time past labouring under delusions— his mind had been failing for the last two yeaas. He had been about that time in a boat on the river Lea, which was upset, and the prisoner was brought out in a state of suspended animation, from which he was recovered by a medical student, and ever since that time he had been in a moping, melancholy way. The Jury found that the prisoner was of insane mind, and the Judge directed that he should be kept in safe custody. On the application of .Mr. ADOLPHUS, the ease of Wm. Napier, for defrauding the revenue, was postponed to the next Sessions, when it will come on the firtt thing. SENTENCES. Traw . ported for 1 b years—J. Smith. For 14 years—J. Harris, T. C o l egate .

S. LILLIE and Messrs. BARLOW and SUTTON, the Sitting Magistrates, by Mr_ Newson, one of the relieving officers of the Ken sington union, for the purpose of being passed to the Coun ty Lunatic Asylum at Hanwell. The necessary documents having been prepared and handed into the Magistrates, Mr. Wright, one of the surgeons of the union, deposed that by virtue of an order signed on the application of the overseers of St. Luke's, Chelsea, by Captain Fitzgerald, a county Magistrate, he had examined Evans, and was decidedly of opinion that he was insane, and unfit to be at large. The BENCII—What is the nature of his insanity—is he violent ? Mr. Wright—His insanity consists of notions of a very high character. He is very noisy, and obliged always to have a person watching hint to prevent his doing mischief. Sir J. S. LILLIE (to Evans)—What is your name ? Evans—Javan Evans. You must know me; I am the King of England, Sir J. S. LILLIE—You have been in the army, I see ; pray when were you discharged? Evans—l never was discharged. I have the army under me now. lam a general, a colonel, a lieutenant, an ensign, a quarter master, an adjutant, a sergeant, a corporal, and a private, and I have the pay of them all. Sir J. S. Liws—You certainly are a very fortunate man to hold so many appointments. Evans--ob, that is nothing. lam also Christ, and I came from Heaven. l can call down gold, and have as many millions as I like in a moment. Sir J. S. LlLLlE—lndeed, then the Chancellor of the Exchequer will be very glad of your assistance. There's a scarcity of money just now, and the Ministry. find a great difficulty in raising it. They'll be very glad, as it will prevent their funding so many Exchequer bills. Do you know Mr. Spring Rice? Evans—Spring Rice? No, I don't know much about him ; but I believe he's a crony of my wife's. Sir J. S. LILLIE—Then you are a married man—have you any family ? Is your wife here ? Evans—The beau tiful Queen Victoria is my wife. I was married to her at St. Paul's Cathedral on the Ist of August, and you shan't take me from her. I love her, and she loves me. Mr. BARLOW—Where did you come from this morning ? Evans—Where did I come from? Why, from the Palace, to be sure - it belongs to me. Sir J. g. LILLIE—Yes, and you have another palace at Hanwell, with 50 acres of pleasure grounds. We are now going to send you there. Evans—No, no ; 1 shan't go there. St. James's Palace, I mean. lam Christ, and I built it ; and yet they will not allow me any tobacco. The First Regiment of Foot Guards is mine ; I was in it 22 years. Mr. BARLow--IWho is that behind you? (pointing to the keeper). Evans—Who--He ? Oh, I don't know. Sir J. S. LILLIE—He's one of your aides-de-camp. I suppose. Evans—Oh no ; he's one of my people from the Palace ; all my clothes are there, and I give my ser vants 100 guineas a-year. Sir J. S. LILLIE—WeII, Kings generally remove in summer to their country residences, and so must you. Evans—Ah, but I sha'nt ; I shall always live at St. James's. I won't leave the Queen. Sir J. S. LILLIE—But the Queen herself is going to Windsor on Saturday. Evans—Then I shall go with her. Sir J. S. LILLIE—WeII, so you can; we'll arrange that. She shall meet you at Hanwell. The BENCH then signed the documents, and the unfor tunate man, who was formerly a private in the Foot Guards, was led out of the office, exclaiming, .1 Lovely Victoria! Dearest Victoria !" POLICE INTELLIGENCE MANSION-HO USE. AN ORPHAN GIRL'S ADVENTURE.-On Saturday a little red-headed, rosy.cheeked girl, named Elizabeth Cash, who appeared to be between seven and eight years of age, was brought before the Lord Mayor, by the direction of Inspector Harrison, of the City Police, under the following odd circumstances : A blind fiddler, named Clarke, who scrapes in public houses, happened to become acquainted with the child through a child of his own of the same age, who used to lead him about to fiddling. Finding that she had lost both her parents, and that she had no protection except that which St. Giles's workhouse afforded, he determined to take her home, that she might divide the duties of a guide with his own little girl. She was delighted with the change of living and treatment she experienced, and performed the duties of a guide so well, that the fiddler resolved to give her three days schooling in each week, and to bring her up to the trade of music along with his daughter, who was to go to school on the three alternate days. She was not long in the situation when she took the measles, but, being ten derly nursed, she soon recovered, and very gratefully ca ressed the blind fiddler, calling him " father," and telling him that she would always be his child. It appeared how ever, that another blind fiddler, named Cassidy, became also acquainted with the little girl, and her good qualities as a guide, and calculating upon her kindness as being su perior to that of the boy who led him about on the tap room rig, resorted to means of supplanting her blind benefactor in her affections. In a abort time he succeeded, and the poor little guide preferred her new employment so much, that she refused to return to her old quarters. It was in consequence of a dispute between the two fiddlers, each of whom claimed the child, that the inspector, who considered the case to be rather a knotty one, caused the matter to be brought before the Lord Mayor. Clarke, the blind fiddler, and his wife and child attended, and anxiously awaited the decision of the Lord Mayor, but neither Cassidy, the other blind fiddler, nor his wife, appeared to assert their interest in the fate of the poor little creature. Elizabeth Cash said in answer to questions from the Lord Mayor, that her father, who had lived in the service of Lady Dashwood, had died about five or six years ago, and her mother, after having been ill for a length of time in St. Giles's workhouse, died there some months since. After she bad been taken home by the first blind fiddier, she was treated well by him, but she preferred the other, and she pressed the Lord Mayor to allow her to serve Mr. Cassidy, The LORD MAYOR said that the child looked as if great care had been taken of her. Clarke—l assure you my Lord, I acted towards her as she acknowledges, with as much tenderness as I exercised towards my own child. Elizabeth—Yes, 1 know you did, but your wife beat me severely, although you both know I worked hard for you. Clarke—No, no, she should not beat you ; I would not allow it, if she was inclined. _ Mr. Hobler—But, my good man, you could not see what took place. Clarke—No, I could not, Sir, but I have very sharp ears ; and the want of the faculty of sight enables me to exercise my other faculties more powerfully. My wife never beat her, or I must have heard something towards it. Elizabeth—She did • she beat me often, very severely. It was more than I cou ld bear. Mrs. Clarke denied that she had ever used a harsh word or a blow. _ __ _ _ _ _ _ Clarke—There's the return for all my kindness. I took the poor friendless child away from the company of common prostitutes, and from starvation, and here's the way she re turns it. Well, I'll never treat another so. The Loan MAYOR—But the child complains that your wife beats her severely. Now, I dare say, Cassidy, who is known here as a very decent well conducted man, would not allow his wife nor any one else to strike her. Clarke —My Lord, lam only anxious that the poor child should be taken care of. I'll deliver ber up to your Lordship with all my heart. She is an excellent guide for a poor blind fel low, but she has behaved ungratefully to me. The LORD MAYOR—I shall take care of her, and not allow her to go near either of you until I learn all about her from the proper authorities, and see whether we can not improve her prospects. The LORD MAYOR then directed Gooch, who officiates at the Compter, to tell the matron to take care of the little orphan. His Lordship then said that he gave every credit to Clarke for parental feeling towards the child, and that the child frankly acknowledged his kindness, but the blows which she received from another hand were injudiciou!ly administered, where the mind was so deeply impressed with kind treatment. ENGLISII ARTISANS IN FRANCR.—Three poor women, one of them had two children, and each of the others had one child in their arms, stated that they arrived by a steamer from Havre in a destitute condition. They were natives of a place thirteen miles from Birmingham, and were by trade needle and fishing-hook makers, and -they stated, that in the month of January last, a commercial man from Normandy, prevailed on them, their husbands, and other workmen, to the number of fourteen, to ac company him to France, where he would give them plenty of employment at their trade and English wages, so that on account of the cheapness of provisions they could save o but contract, o h nt e r ct a, not money. lie paid their expe nses to France, but on their arrival at his premise s he insisted that they should teach his people their tra de.

LAMBETH. STREET. SERIOUS CASE OP' STABBING AND WOUNDING —Satur day Carl Greabey, a German skin-dresser, was placed at the bar before Messrs. • Combe and Garford, for further examination on a charge of stabbing and seriously wound ing George Graffer, a countryman of his. From the evi dence it appeared that late on a Saturday n ight, three weeks ago, the prisoner quarrelled with some person Itt the Catherine Wheel public-house, in Essex-greet, White, chapel. Upon which the complainant, who was servant to the landlord interfered, and in putting them out he re ceived r i o d i n e o h s t t h h e ec la b d e o. a w d e , wounds Immediately the ceiveci a s evere sta b on t h e top of the head, two woun d s throat, s o e n v e the re and ha f d h ar o fi tg n e hr ttphcoeal police side ecdocemo constable sl f et, at the bellye Barker, H 1, came up, and found the prisoner knocking at the door of the public-house with his shoe, and on asking him why he made such a noise he replied that he bad been stabbed ; his hands at the time were covered with blood. The constable took him to the station-house, and • there ascertained that he it was who had stabbed the complainant, and a clasp knife, covered with blood, was found outside the pub lie-house door, and he was, in consequence, detained, and the injured man sent to the London Hospital. Mr. Howell, a medical pupil at the hospital, described the wounds in flicted on the complainant to be of a very serious charac ter, particularly the two on the side of the throat, and said the man's !life was in very great danger for several days. The injured man, who had been brought from the hospital, and who seemed still suffering from the effects of the wound, could not swear as to having seen a knife in the prisoner's hands at the time of the scuffle, but immediately after he had struck him on the top of the head he felt the injury. Barker, the policeman, said that on a future day he would be prepared with witnesses who would satisfactorily prove that the prisoner was the person by whom the inju ries had been inflicted. Mr. COOMBE told him to have the witnesses in attend ance on Friday, when he would commit the prisoner for trial on the charge. A FRAIL Rte.—Daniel Driscoll, a jobbing porter, was brought up on a warrant charging him with assaulting William Pugh. The complainant, who appeared young enough to be the son of the defendant, stated that on the night of that day week, the defendant,' without any provo cation, caught him by the neck-ha ndkerchief, and at tempted to strangle him. The witness added, that the present was not the first or second time he bad been used in a similar manner by the defendant, who, in fact, attacked him every place he met him. Magistrate—What is the cause of his doing so? Wit ness—l don't know, your worship: I can't tell the cause. Driscoll—You don't know, don't you 1 Oh, you eter nal villiant, you 1 and isn't it meself 'll tell his wurtship. Magistrate—Well, what is the cause? Driscoll —Why, Sir, the thief has taken away my wife, and stolen any pro. perty. Magistrate—Complainant, is that the case—have you taken away the man's wife? Complainant (after some he sitation)—l hav'nt taken her away, Sir; she came with me of her own accor d. Magistrate—And you have since been living with her, I suppose? Complainant—Yes, your Worship. Magistrate—Then you must not be very much surprised at this man giving you a thump or two on the head when he meets you. Driscoll having promised not to repeat his violence, the warrant was dismissed. METROPOLITAN POLITICAL SUMMARY. ---...---- " The Globe of Saturday, speaking of the reprieve of the Warwick Chartists, says :—" We have hitherto imposed on ourselves a degree of reserve respecting the case of these convicts, whose lives the mercy of the Crown has spared. We had heard from good sources, soon after the sentence was passed, that it was not expected its ex treme rigour would be carried into execution. We have not however considered, and we do not now consider this clemency a fact which ought to be made the subject of hasty congratulation, or drawn into a precedent, if unhappily the recurrence of outrages of a similar descrip tion should prove the necessity of rigid infliction of the law. This we do not anticipate ; the union of firmness with mercy will, we trust, prevent it. We think the distinction a sound one between crimes attended and unattended with violence." The Courier speaks in the following terms of the conduct of the Portuguese Government with regard to the slave trade :—" What more particularly aggravates the odious character of the Portuguese conduct in this matter, is the circumstance, that Portugal cannot plead that she has herself at this moment any one colony in which slave labour is either necessary or desirable. No national interest is promoted by the infamy so wantonly incurred by the Portuguese Government, of trampling under foot the solemn obligations .by which she has bound herself to England, for Brazil has ceased to be a Portuguese colony, and it is chiefly for the supply of Brazil and Cuba that the merchants of Portugal now prostitute their flag to the basest of ends. Even the Brazilian Government makes the conduct of Portugal a subject of complaint." The Standard thus alludes to a late manifesto of the Trowbridge Chartists :—" The Chartists appear to omit no opportunity of recalling to the recollection of her Alajesty's Government the intimacy of the relations which used to subsist between them. The manifesto of the Trowbridge Chartists, after a recommendation to its disciples to disregard her Majesty's proclamation by what it is pleased to call a National Torchlight Meeting,' takes care especially to remark that it offers the suggestion in ' direct opposition to the opinion of her Majesty's Attorney-General, as delivered to the authorities of Dudley. when that law officer was honoured with a torchlight procession by the inhabitants of that town,' and goes on to ask by what statutes such meetings are illegal. We believe the only plea Lord John Russell can offer in reply is that of necessity. How that necessity has arisen, the extracts from his Lordship's speeches and letters on the subject of the meetings of Political Union ists to which we referred a few dAys ago, and which have formed a leading feature of the defences made by some of these misguided men on their recent trials, will sufficiently explain. If the Government goes on as it has done 'during the last eight years of Whig domina tion, it may be necessary to return to the Curfew, and force every body to put out their lights at set of sun."

The Marquis Camden, the Lord- Lieutenant of the country, now in his 82d year, has signi fied his intention of being present. The contract for sup plying the dinner, desert, and a bottle of wine to each of 1,500 persons, including, waiters, glass, dinner services, &c., has been taken by joint tender at 12s. 6d. The re- , quest for ladies' tickets continues as great as ever, but the pavilion having already been enlarged (since the contract was taken) to accommodate 500, no farther room can be made, and, of course, the request of the fair ladies cannot be complied with. —Kentish Observer. THE LOST BALLOON.—On inquiry on Friday at the Flora Gardens it was stated that no tidings had as yet been received of the fate of the balloon with which Mr. Hampton ascended from those gardens on Monday last. After Mr. Hampton had detached it from the para chute it was visible from the metropolis nearly an hour, and at last disappeared in a south-easterly direction. It is computed, from the quantity of gas it contained, that it would continue buoyant for about eighteen hours, and probably longer. It is, therefore, impossible to calculate how far it may have travelled. Mr. Hampton still re mains indisposed from the effects of the conc,►ssioa the car sustained in its descent. v t a e i d n o y n a t w r o e e d i o n u e s s if , d ay last We give the following statement as we find i t i n the Observer true : o A f m ye e s ric er a d n ey p . apec t s isreccee mention the capture of two Portuguese s l ave ships by her Majesty's brig the Grecian, Com man d er S mith, shortly „The after the slavers had left Rio do Janeiro for the coast of Africa; but no allusion is made to a circumstance con nected with that capture, at which humanity will shudder. We can state, upon the authority of letters, for the perfect authenticity of which we here solemnly pledge ourselves, that the British officers, upon searching the slave ships, found, among other papers, communications from the owners or employers of the vessels, addressed to their commanders, in which, after some violent complaints of the exertions made by England to cripple the Slave Trade, tie captains are enjoined to have each on board his vessel aryl upon deck a cask of poisoned wine, of which, in the event of capture, the English sailors would be certain to drink, and so be destroyed. It was also enjoined on the captains to poison all the water of which the captors and slaves were to partake; and the captains were further de sired to suggest this wholesale system of murder to the c commanders of a n y othe r slav e v es s e l s th a t they might to f a ll i n w i t h on th e i r vo y age . To comment on such' hellish atrocity would be a needless appeal to public feeling."
