" CARE or ITEALTIL—The human frame often suffers greatly during this season, the hurtful influence of which is assisted by i he premature adoption of the dress of summer. Those on whom the blight of consumption has fallen, frequently sink under it about this period, though the disease had commenced its ravag.s many weeks or months anterior to its fatal close. A 1 unnecessary exposure on the part of such delicate persons to the morning and evening chills, should be carefully avoided. Also the full and plethoric will be be nefitted by the use of cooling medicines, as PA ItR'S LIFE PILLS, and very temperate diet; as a tendency of blood to the head is not uncommon among such, giving rise to ap'plexy and other fatal dis. eases of the brain Young and stout persons even require some cooling purgative, as PARR'S LIFE PILLS, which will lessen the heat of the skin, and perfectly cleanse the -ystem."

Six young women," aged about 17 years, named Mar garet Glynn, Margaret French, Mar.& Willis, Sophia Cole, Mary Brown, and Eliza Maynard, were charged with creating a riot in the Clerkenwell workhouse, of which they are inmates, with assaulting 'the - master, and tearing his coat. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Harnet, the mas ter, that the prisoners, who have been repeatedly con victed of misconduct in the workhouse, were, at half past seven on the previous evening, at the windows of the esiblishment, and " larking " with some young men who iiere outside the walls, and throwing stones over the walls. He had repeatedly told the prisoners not to go into that part of the house, and on this occasion desired them to leaie it. French, with an oath, exclaimed she would not leave the place. Willis likewise refused. They then went into ward 28, and became very riotous. `Witness called Smith, the gate-keeper, and then at tempted to remove French; but all the other prisoners attacked them in .the most violent manner. CUle, Wil lis, and Brown snatched up saucepans, plates, pots, and pans, and flung them at witness, swearing they would murder him. Willis swore she would job his eye out. Willis—Yes, and so I will Witness—French said she would run me through with a knif4. FreUch—And I'll do it yet. Witness—They sharpened a knife in the presence of the overseer, a few days-ago, and-smote tlbsy-swessl4 stab. four other girls, who refused to join them in their mutiny against the workhouse authorities. Witness proceeded -to say that the prisoners tore his coat almost into rags, and kicked him on the legs and body ; they would have overpowered him, had he not obtained the assistance of four of the male paupers, and some police-officers, by whom the prisoners were ultimately secured. The whole workhouse was in a state of uproar ; the paupers jumped out of their beds, and 200 of the inmates were drawn to the place by the shouts and screams of the prisoners. Four other witnesses gave testimony to the same effect. The conduct of the prisoners resembled that of Furies. Cole flung a chair at the master's head, which by stooping he avoided, and the chair was shivered to atoms against the wall. They hallooed, swore, screamed, and fought like Amazons, and nothing could exceed the consternation and excitement hcl I prevailed in the workhouse. The prisoners, in their defence, stated that two of the men the master had called were lunatics. Mr. BROUGIITON inquired if such were the case, and the master admitted that two of the men were of diseased mind, but it was in a case of necessity he obtained their aid. In answer to another question, Mr. Ilarnet said there were 510 paupers in the house. Mr. BROUGHTON said the visiting justices at the pri sons, in their reports, had stated that the greatest con fusion and disorder were introduced to the prisons by the workhouse paupers who were confined there ; and they complained of the magistrates sending so many of them to prison. In Marylebone parish a person had contracted to take 200 of these disorderly characters to the colonies, but the interference of a Member of Par liament put a stop to it. Nothing could be worse than the conduct of the prisoners ; but that of the master, in bringing those demented poor creatures into a conflict of this description was injudicious and indiscreet. He would sentence French and Cole to pay a fine of ten shillings, or six weeks' imprisonment ; and the other four prisoners to three weeks' imprisonment, without fine. George Osborne, a weather-beaten old seaman, was charged by Griffiths, an excise-efficer, with unlawfully exposing for sale a pint of bandy. The offence was clearly proved, and the prisoner fined 25L, or three months' imprisonment. Maria Graham, a young woman of mild and pre possessing appearance, was charged with endeavouring to drown herself. The officer being on duty . near the New River at Newington on Wednesday n ight last, between eight and nine o'clock, heard aloud splash in the water, and on running to the place saw the prisoner struggling in it. She had left her bonnet and cloak on the bank. After some ditlioulty he succeeded in dragging her out, and, on turning his lamp upon her, was surprised to recognise her as a modest and respectable young woman, whom he had known for years. She was very decently con nected, and her conduct had always been a model of propriety in the neighbourhood in which she resided. he cried bitterly, but refused to tell why she had attempted to destroy herself. He removed her to the Hackney workhouse, as she was very ill, and there she had remained since. The poor creature, on being questioned by the Magis trate, sobbed bitterly. She said her mother was alive, but bed-ridden, and unable to support herself, and she (the prisoner) was a dress-maker by trade, but became so much reduced that she felt herself obliged to seek parochial aid, and went into the Hackney workhouse some time two, where she s'ayed until Monday last, when she left it to see her sister. She remained with her sister at Kingsland until Wednesday evening, when she again applied to be received into the Hackney work house, but the officer there refused to admit her beeause she did not return on Monday night. Mr. Dawson gave her an order for admission to the house for the desti tute, but her feelings were so wounded at being obliged to stop in such a place that she resolved to destroy her self, but was very sorry for whatjhe had done. Mr. BROUGHTON said he lamented to see a person of such respectable appearance, and apparently virtuous disposition, in. such a condition, and would be happy to afford her all the assistance in his power. For the pre sent, however, he would send her back to the workhouse. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday a very well-dressed man, about 35 years of age, who at the station-house said his name was James Thompron, but refused, on account of his connexions, to give his ad dress, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long, charged with having conducted himself in the following most extraordi ' nary manner towards the wife of Mr. William Gutteridge, a highly-respectable gentleman residing at No. 28, Upper Montagu-street, Montagu-square . The lady was not present, but her husband, who, wit nessed the shameful behaviour of the prisoner, and who was therefore enabled to give all the required particular!, was sworn.

He spoke particularly as to his wish to have stabling for his horses and carriages ad jacent to the house, and, after a little conversation, Jae was requested to call again, which he did, and he then grdasly in sulted his (complainant's) wife. Mr. LONG—Is your wife present? Complainant..-She is not, Sir; but I think that my evidence will be sufficient with. out her, as I saw all that took place with regard to the offence for which the prisoner is brought here. Mr. LONG (to complainant, who seemed very much ti cited)—Be more calm, and state slowly all that you know of the matter. Complainant—The prisoner bad been at the house at twelve o'clock yesterday at noon, but nothing was then defi nitively agreed upon ; and at six o'clock in the evening he paid another visit, when he fell passionately in love, all at once, with my wife. Mr. Loxes—Were you present at the time you speak of, or do you not state merely what your wife or some one else may have told you Complainant—l had just been admitted into my house, Sir, after being out nearly the whole of the day, and while I was on the first landing I heard the prisoner, who was in the drawing-room with my wife, say to her, " To tell you the truth, I am very much in love with you ; and , will 20 guineas a week be of any service to your house?" My wife immediately said, "What do you mean, Sir; I don't understand you ?" And at the same moment be exposed to her his person. Mr. LONG—In what situation were you placed, so that you could observe this? Complainant—l could see all that oc curred through the opening which there was between the back part of the door and the wood work to which the hinges were attached. The door was partly open at the time. Mr. LONG—Having seen what you have mentioned, what did you do? Complainant—Hearing my wife scream out at the time of the infamous behaviour taking place, and having seen what I have described, I instantly rushed into the apartment, at the entrance to which my wife flew into my arms; I collared the prisoner, whom I shook and designated as a rascal and a villain, when he screamed out " murder as loudly as he was able. A police-constable came to the house in the course of a few minutes, and he (prisoner) was taken into custody. Complainant produced a book of a grossly indecent nature, which the prisoner had thrown from him prior to his being given in charge, and it was also shown that he had torn up several cards and pieces of paper on which were written the addresses and names of various lodging-house keepers, with their terms of rental, &c. He was searched at the station house, and in his possession were found a number of gold rings. The prisoner was further questioned as to his name and place of abode, but he positively refused to give them, saying that the disclosure thereof might seriously affect his interests. He admitted having conducted himself improperly and indis creetly, but denied that he had acted so infamously as had been described. Mr. LONG regretted that, as no assault had been proved, he could not punish the prisoner, inasmuch as the offence al leged against him had not been committed in a street orpub lic place, and he must, therefore,l3e discharged ; an indict ment might, however, be preferred against him. He was subsequently charged on a warrant with having threatened to do injury to Mrs. Walters, 4, Southwick - street , Paddington, with whom it was proved he lodged, and that his name was James Whiting. He was held to bail to keep the peace. WORSHIP-STR4E 7 ; Thomas W wingright Yesterday a stylishly dressed man, named Rsterbee, was charged befbre Mr. Bingham with the following F,steibce, outrage upon Mrs. Caroline Hancock, a respectable married g e vi throughd e ntl woman residing in Shaftesbury-street, New North-road. The complainant, a delicate-looking ttatillivieom pr a b. n, e a d 9 in a in an ill state of health, stated, the New North-road en the preCeding evening between 9 and 10 o'clogic, onter'way home, she saw the prisoner, wh o was 'a few paces in advance of her, seize hold of a plow : looking woma n, and attempt to take impk•opelibertiea - with her. • The woman repnlsed Etwl aticwoci inAetting sway from 11 )311z fearful thot /mitt serve In a . similar. manner, left ti le Moment autoWelit Into the carriago wa y to tip:A(lllW . b n } • who saw her do so, a slight box on the ear, upon which the prisoner repeated his blow, and, seizing hold of both her arms, shook her violently. She succeeded in extricating herself from his grasp, and hurried down her own street, but was quickly followed by the prisoner, who again seized her by the arms and con tinued holding and striking her, until an elderly gentleman, • who had been a witness to a part of the outrage, came up to her assistance, and rescued her from the prisoner's hands. Mr. H. Lara, the old - gentleman just referred to, said he was coming up Shaftesbury-street, when he saw the com plainant struggling energetically with the prisoner, who had a tight hold of both her arms, and occasionally let go of one of them to strike her repeated blows on the chest. He went up and remonstrated with him upon his unmanly conduct, but the prisoner, refused to relinquish his hold of her, and the witness was obliged to forcibly drag him away from the complainant, on doing which, the latter, who was greatly terrified and exhausted, instantly fell to the ground. The prisoner then took to his heels and ran down the road, but a person who now came up, and who had seen the latter part of the transaction, pursued him and gave him into custody. The prisoner, in defeAce, said lie had been drinking with some friends and had berme inebriated, and that he really had not the slightest recollection of acting in the manner that was imputed to him ; if he had, he was very sorry for it, but he thought that the assault must have been accidentally committed. Mr. BINGHAM inquired what .station in life the prisoner occupied ? The prisoner said, lie was an officer in the service of the London Dock Company. Mr. BINGHAM said, if a person in a humble station in life were brought before him for this offence, he should have ample powers, in proportion to that person's means, to inflict upon him an adequate punishment; but he regretted to say that the Legislature had not invested magistrates with suffi cient powers to deal with offenders in the station the- prisoner occupied. He, therefore, felt it his duty to call on the pri soner to find bail to answer the charge at the sessions, to which he should send it, as any fine he could inflict would be wholly inadequate to the merits. The priSoner was about to be removed, when the com plainant stepped forward and begged the Magistrate to spare her the pain and annoyance of appearance again in a public Court, and urged him to deal summarily with the case. Mr. BINGHAM, after some hesitation, said, that in conside ration of the delicate state of the pra•ecutrix's health, he should, though with great reluctance, accede to her applica tion; he should therefore sentence the prisoner to pay the highest penalty it was in his power to inflict, namely, 51., and in default. of payment he must undergo 21 days' imprison ment and hard labour in the House of Correction. The fine was immediately paid, and the prisoner dis charged. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM TEE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS D.T. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 12 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10+d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 45 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 571, it follows that gold is 0.48 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 435 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.94, it follows that gold is 0.12 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London is 108 i per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng land and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 1.08 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. SUN.—Consols leave off scarcely so good as yesterday, being 991 toa.

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY, EIGHT O'CLOCK.—Expectation is on the tiptoe here as to who are to be the candidates, neither party up to this hour having launched their man. So much anxiety and excitement on a question of the kind was never known to exist here before. A great many names on both sides have been mentioned, but rumour is but little to be depended on. The Tories at their county meeting held yesterday, at Newton, are said to have seriously named but three men—Mr. Pemberton Leigh, of Wigan, a retired bar. Hater, holding the office of Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall, and at one time a Member for Ripon ; Colonel Wilbraham (bother of the deceased Member); and Mr. Egerton, third son of Mr. Egerton, of Tatton. Of these gentlemen, all belonging to well known aristocratic families, it is said that Mr. Pemberton Leigh was decidedly the favourite, but it is now currently reported that all of them have been waited upon, and declined the contest. On the Liberal side equal uncertainty prevails. At a meeting last night, it is said, a deputation was appointed to wait upon Mr. Charles Townley, Mr. S. J. Lloyd, and Mr. Pascoe Grenfell, which left town by a late train on its mission ; but that letters from London this morning had brought in formation to the effect of a proposition having been made to the gentlemen mentioned, anticipating the deputation, and all of them had positively declined to come forward. In the meantime the League, who, it is expected, will no minate a candidate in the event of a free trader not being started by either of the political. parties, is looked to with something like impatience •, and Mr. Cobden's name is on almost every tongue, not only in Manchester, but in Liver; 'pool; - Asliton, Bury, , and otheilarge towns ; and he is spoken of both by Tories and Liberals in a mannettluit implies the confident belief that he would carry everything before him if put forward, and that such an opportunity of showing the progress of free-trade principles in this great county, ought not to be lost. The only explanation we. can give on this point at present is, that the time for the Teague to step for- ward with a candidate is not yet arrived, . Test OVIACK.—SInce writing the above; a report has been generally prevalent in Manchester, that the Tories having. failed in all other, quarters, have waited upon Mr. W. En twistle, a retired manufacturer, and have prevailed on him to stand. In the face of this a placard has appeared on the walls, calling a meeting of the Conservative electors for four o'clock to-morrow evening, "when a candidate will be announced," and it does not Seem probable . that if they had already fixed upon a man they would wait till to•-incirrow evening before they announced him. The greater probability Is, that they are yet at sea" for a man, but expect by that time, through some of their deputations now sent out, to have been more successful. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT!) MANCHESTER, FRIDAY MortzuNG.—The fi:ee-traders have fairly got the start of the monopolists in bringing out a can didate for the suffrages of the electors of this division of Lan cashire, and this evening the address of the candidate will he circulated throughout the country. , The gentleman who has thus manfully come forward to fight the battle of free trade is William Brown, Esq., of Liverpool, the head of the extensive house of William and James Brown and Co.,who are well known for their immense mercantile transactions. The Tories, it is expected, will not settle upon their can didate until Monday next, when they hold another m m r e i e l ting at Newton-in-the-Willows.

OUSPECTRD MURDER.—lnformation has just been communicated to the Windsor police of a singular discovery which was made a morning or two since, in a field belonging to Mr. Murrell, a farmer residing near Surley-hall (about two miles from Windsor), which leads to the supposition that• a murder has recently been committed in that vicinity. -Two bibourers; in the employ of Mr. Murrell, found in a field of wheat; on the farm, a very handsome red silk velvet bonnet, and also a lady's cap, trimmed with lace, with the ribapd.. • torn off, and lying near it.

Sin, --In consequence of my Dame having been most unaccountably introduced in the report of the •" Wills Forgeries," I sent the inclosed explanation to the Time*. • They refuse to insert it, upon the plea that my name was introduced as they reported it at the trials. This I believe is very true, but nevertheless I am not t i be continued a victim to this false statement, to which their report gave currency, because a solicitor's clerk used my • name instead of his grandfather's, Mr. John Rollin•, of Regent -street.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Covent. garden, May 7, 1844. Ma. EDITOR—With all my regard for publicity, I beg to observe, that I only covet it in its pure and legi timate form; but I must not be mixed up, nor have my , name used gratuitously in such a case as " The Will Forzeries." The moment I read the statement which T no .%- extract from your journal, I lost not a moment in writing to Mr. Bramall, whose clerk (Robert Peckham) . had made, it should seem, this involuntary blunder; thus I endeavoured without delay to get au antidote to the poison; but I have been obliged to receive Mr. Braman's illness as his excuse for thialong silence. I fast give the very equivocal terms in which m a y name was introduced. It will easily be inferred that, with a very independent reliance on my name and- character, I am, nevertheless, exceedingly averse to having any allusion made to either in such a nefarious transaction. Now mark how a plain tale shall correct this voluntary association. Just let me observe, that neither directly nor indirectly do 1 know one single person included in these trials, and I thank my stars, not one who was instrumental in these robberies—. that I never .received or benefited a single guinea by the will of any human being during my life. This !rill probably put an extinguisher on any one who might have been scev'tical about this 1,0001.
