Cboke, - for Mr. Hudson, a tobacco nist ; by Mr. Cresw,ll, on behalf of Mr. Hunt, jeweller; and by a credito', named Baker, a hosier, in person. It appeared, kora a very lengthened examination of the insolvent, win was a very young man, the opposing creditors, and several witnesses, that he had been dis charged by this Caul, as an insolvent, in the year 1841, when his debts amounted to upwards of 12,0001. Soon after his discharge, he became an articled clerk to an attorney, but neglected his profession and lived with his mother, who had a good property, and supplied him with pocket money. During this time it was proved that his expenditure had been of the most reckless and profligate description, in fact, of such a nature ' as to induce the Learned Commissioner to designate it by the term of swindling. He went to Newcastle, and, while there, took a villa from Mr. Hudson, whom he rut to large expense bylaw costs. He also wrote to Mr. Hunt ter jewellery to the amount of 9004 but, luckily. for that gentleman, he only let him have goods to the amount of 3401., fo:. which he gave a worthless warrant of attorney. The whole of his debts during the )ear amounted to 9611., and those he contracted whilst he was not worth one shilling of money or property. In his schedule the nanies of eight tailors appeared, and also those of a number of livery stable-keepers, for the hire of horses and carriages. It likewise appeared that he had several dealings in accommodation bills. Mr. Commissioner Law said, after carefully consider ing the evidence, he thought th e on l y proper terms by which he could designate the insolvent were those of a cheat, and even a swindler. He had before taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act, and since that time he had pursued a career of reckless and indiscriminate profli gacy. The sentence of the Court in the present instance was, that he be reTanded for one year and eight months from the date of his vesting order. his pocket. It might be very profitable, but he must sly urged him to the disagreerNe task of beggirg, which, •it was not very creditable. With regard to the plea God knew, carried its punishment in the numeri us that the bill was the property of Horne, he said thcre painful refusals, and that contanpt with which 1 wretched ' was no evidence of the fact, and it was a very common applicant was sure t o be met. ' occurrence for plaintiffs to sue parti es i n th e names of , Sir J. KEY -I shall, at all events, have 3 - ou taken care other parties. The Learned Counsel then commented of for some time. You shall go to Bridewell upon the evidence given by Mr. L ane , an d as k ed why months. " Mother" Edmunds, his ch ere wide, had not b een ca ll e d for three as a witness? The prisoner —Lord ! you don't say so ? Why, I have - done little or nothing. Pray, my Lord\ when I come out, am I to be done with any other prosecition ? Mr. Goodman (the Chief (Jlfrk) The three i)ontbs' imprisonment will not clear you of two chart es (if forgery, which appear against you. Yon will, in all probability, be prosecuted upon those. Horseford, stated that the prisoner a short time ago •btained 51. from an eminent counsel, to whom he a p plied, dressed as a farmer, for assistance, in consequence of ruin caused by incendiari,m. In fact, the pri-iner was constantly occupied in looking out for "squall' is fie petitioning world. Committed to Bridewell to hard labour for three months. • Mr. Line here rose, and complained of the attack that was made upon him by the Learned Counsel. He was a married man and had a family, and he thought it most indecent for the Learned Counsel to make such an in - sitivation against him. There was not the least founda tion for it. Mr. Baron PARKE expressed his opinion that such observations as those made by the Learned Counsel ought not to have been made. Tbey did not in any way apply to the question at issue. PLATi continued.--He thought Mrs. Edmund: onght to have been produced as a witness ; but it was quite clear that his Learned Friend would led have any thing to do with her or her clique. After some further observations, the Learned Counsel concluded by stating that the evidence for the defendant had not at all sh.,lien the plaintiff's case. and that he was entitled to a verdict. Mr. Baron PARE then summed up, and after having explained the tenour of the different pleas upon the re cord, he said that the proceeding ofcommencing the eri ginal action in the name of. Horne, who - Mr. Gell knew was not his client, was most irregular, and one which he thought no respectable attorney would have lent him self to. The jury had heard the explanation that was given for this course being taken, and it was for them to I judge of the facts. If they believed the evidence of Mr. (Jell, the plaintiff's case had been made out ; but if they considered the pleas set up by the defendant had been substantiated, it would be their duty to return a verdict in his favour. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount of the bill. Mr. Baron GURNEY sat in the Crown Court, and in his charge to the grand, jury, said he regretted to eee that there were several charges of arson in the calendar, but he advised them not to return a true bill in any of the cases, except the evidence was so clear and conclusive es would convince them, if they were in the situation of petty jurors, to return a verdict of guilty. He addel that he was convinced great mischief was occasioned hen persons charged with offences of this description were acquitted. John Thicken. 30, was convicted of uttering a forge] cheque, with intent to defraud the London and Wes:- minster Bank. The prisoner was stated to be the son of a farmer, and to have hitherto borne a good character. The jury recommended him to mercy, and Mr. Baron GURNEY respited the judgment. A woman, named Ann IVood, was charged with hay ing counterfeited fits to obtain money. It was stated by several City policemen that the pri sonur rt as in the habit of raising a froth about her mouth with a piece of soap, and that she took ingenious oppor tunities of dropping in the street when people were pass ing who were likely to compassionate her apparent mis fortune. In Alderman Hurhphery's mayoralty, his Lord ship paid a sum of money to convey her to her parish 4it a great distance in th e coun t r y, an d suppl i ed her with clothes and necessaries for the journey, hut, to the sur. 'prise of the Lord Mayor, she was found, five or six days after her departure, frothing at the mouth, from which a piece of soap was taken, within the boundary of the City, where she had declared she never again should be seen. Sir J. KEY sentenced her to three months' imprison ment and hard labour, in BrOewell. CLERKEN WELL. Frances Mary Cass was charged with attempting to commit suicide. . SUMMER ASSIZES. HOME CIRCUIT— Maidstone, July 23. The Conamision for the county of Kent was opened on Monday. There are upwards of seventy prisoners for trial on the Civil side ; twenty eight causes are entered, seven of which are special jury cases. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) DE BERNARDI V. CRIMSTON. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 1651., upon a bill of exchange, accepted by the Honour able Captain Grimston, the defendant. The pleas put upon the record by the defendant were to the effect that the bill in question was a forgery, and also that it had not been legally endorsed to the present plaintiff, and that the property in the bill belonged to the executors of a deceased person, named Horne. Mr. Platt and Mr. Ogle appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Sergeant Channel, with Mr. Wordsworth, were for the defendant. Mr. PLATT having briefly opened the case called, Mr. Gell, a solicitor in Regent-street, who deposed that he was the attorney for the plaintiff; and that he was instructed by him to bring the present action. The bill in question was placed in his hands in February, and he advanced the plaintiff 90/. upon it. Before it became due, he communicated with the defendant, and informed him that his bill would become due on the 3d May, and in consequence of that communication, Captain Grim ston called upon him, and told. him that he had been a flat in accepting the bill, but he supposed he must pay it, and he wished him (Mr. Gell,) to wait a few days, and not to present the bill at the bankers, Messrs. Cox and Greenwood, where it was made payable, and he pro mised that he would make up the money for the bill. Proceedings were subsequently taken by witness against the defendant, on behalf of a ,person named Horne, who died soon afterwards. Cross - examined--Horne was a clerk to the present plaintiff, and it was al the agent of Mr. Bernardi, that the defendant was sued in his name. The bill became due on the M May, and the writ in Horne's action was served on the 4th. He was applied to upon the subject, but he did not mention the name of Mr. Bernardi as being his client, Captain Grimston did not say, when he called upon him, that he had accepted the bill for 651. originally, and that it had been altered to 165 t, and that it was a forgery. Would swear that the name of Mrs. Edmunds was not mentioned by the defendant. Did not know George Cullen, who was represented to be 'the drawer of the bill. Frederick Dewey deposed that he was empl o y e d by an officer of the Sheriff of Surrey, and in that capacity he was placed in possession at the house of Mrs. Ed munds, at Herne -hill. He remained there ten months and two days.--(A laugh.) This gave him an oppor tunity of becoming acquainted with the members of her establishment ; and he knew George Cullen, who was Mrs. Edmunds' nephew. He believed the endorsement to the bill produced to be that person's handwriting. Cross - examined —Believed Mrs. Edmunds sas a lodging-house keeper. George Cullen acted as her gardener ; and he had a brother named John, who was a carpenter. Mrs. Edmunds was not very often at the house at Herne-hill. By Mr. PLATT—George Cullen used to cultivate Mrs. Edmunds' garden.---(Laughter.) The bill was then put in, and this closed the plaintiff's case. Mr. Sergeant. CHANNEL addressed the jury for the defendant, and commenced by stating L hat the counsel for the plaintiff had conducted the case on his behalf very dexterously, and had contrived to keep every per son out of it who could have given the jury any informa tion relative to the real nature of the transaction. The defence he had to set up was, that the bill was originally accepted for 651. only, and that, in point of fact, the pre sent document was a forgery by the substitution of the larger suin.of 1651. for the original amount. The plain tiff's attorney was well aware that this was the defence which was to be set up, and mixed up as be had been in the transaction, he must say that he thought it was very extraordinary he had not given the jury some further in formation relative to the eircumstances under which the bill came into the possession of the plaintiff. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to comment upon the fact of the action being first brought in the name of Horne, the plaintiff's clerk, and also upon the circum stance that Mr. Gell, who Was the principal witness to prove the plaintiff's case, did not say a word about Mr. Bernardi until the death of Horne, and then the present action was brought in his name. Wh en M r. Gell was applied to for the name of his client, in th e fi rst i nstance he stated that it was Horne, and the d e f en d ant relied u oneersoofnhwisas,beforepleas, his de a th, a b ona and if th e j ury s h ould believe fide holder of the bill, and that the pre sent p l a i ntiff was lnth t i t s m fac t t th in is p not his legal representative, upon that ground he should be entitled to their verdict. Frederick William Fisher was thenecalled. He deposed that he was the managing clerk to Mr. Lane, the de fendant's attorney, and he remembered the copy of the w: it being handed to him in the cause Horne v. Grim ston, and he put in an appearance to it. A day or two afterwards witness went to Mr. Gelb the plaintiff's attor ney, and asked to see the bill, and also wished to have the name and address of the plaintiff. Mr. Gell then gave him the name of George Henry Horne, and de scribed his address as . No. 8, Craig's -court. Mr. Gell stated that Horne was an accountant. He frequently saw Mr. Gell upon the - subject of the proceedings, and he never on-any occasion mentioned the name of Bele iinrcli until the present action was commenced on the 16th May. Cross-examined—Mr. Lane "discounts " a good deal. The offices are in ArgyllsPlaee- Had repeitedly seen Mrs. Edmunds there and also at the Bankruptcy Court and other places. Mr. Lane had been also concerned for him in two or three actions. Had not seen Mrs. Edmunds e l - several months t and did not think she had been at Mr. Lane's offices during the last tw o or three months. Had not seen Captain Grineston at the office with Mrs. Edmunds. Could not say whether' Mrs. Edmunds hail been in the habit of lending young men money, but he had heard so. • Re-examined--Mrs. Edmunds was very well known in London. She was generally called " Mother Ed euunds."—(Lauglitee,) 11r. Richard iiiieleman Lane deposed that he was an attorney, and conducted the present action for the de fendant. On the 3d of May he wrote a letter to Mr. Gall (produced), in which he informed him that the bill was only accepted by Capt. Grimston for 651, and that the amount of 165/. was forged. He at the same time efered to pay the smaller amount. He subsequently called upon Mr. Gell, and saw the bill, and Mr. Gell in formed him that Horne, the plaintiff, was a very re spectable man. He had some conversation with Mr. t; ell upon the subject of the bill, and told him that the .1 figures 65 were Mrs. Edmunds ' writing, but that the 1 was written by another hand. He told him that he un fortunately knew Mrs. Edmunds' writing too well, and that the appearance of the bill confirmed his client's re resentation that it had originally been drawn for 651. only. Mr. Gell appeared to think that he held a genuine acceptance, but he did not say a word about Captain Grimston haying offered to pay the amount until the present action was brought. Cross-examined—lie took a bill for Lona drawn by Cullen with him, in order to compare the writing. He had unfortunately another acceptance for 1,0001. in his possession. It was witness's custom to fake forty per cent. interest upon a three months' bill. He gave 1,800/, for the two 1,0001. acceptances, to which -he hed re ferred. Mrs. Edmunds brought him the 1,000/. bill to discount. It bore the acceptance of Lord —. For a hill of 1,000/. it -was his custom to give 900/. He' had.. been concerned as an attorney for Mrs. Edmunds, and had been at her residences in St. James's-street and Ar lington-street. Was not aware that she was in the habit of lending, money to young men, but it was reported so, Witness had nothing to do with her or her affairsee He gave her the money, for the 1,000/. bill in 1841. 'He also advanced her 1,0004 upon a bill for 2,000/. Mrs. Edmunds, no doubt, finding that he was such an easy dope came to him the second time. He must also con fese that feMale infitience operated upon him.— (Laughter.) As Mrs. Edmunds was a woman he did not suspect her.—(Renewed laughter.) Mr. PLATT—Then you were induced to lend this money on account of female influence ?—(A laugh.) Witness—Yes ; and it has cost me 1,800/. —(Laughter.) Mr. PLATT--I think you are very lucky to get off so easily. Mr. PLA TT then replied jury , and said that even if the should thi n k t h at the defendant had written his name across the blank stamp, and it was afterwards filled up for the amount now sought to be recovered, he was in law liable for the amount. He reellarked upon the circumstance of the stamp being a five shilling one, which would cover any amount under 2001. ; and he submitted th a t th ere was no evidence to show t h at the ' instrument was not a genuine one, although the forty- ' per -cent. gentleman had given evidence to the contrary. He could not help expressing his opinion that the busi ness in discounting carried on by that gentleman was not a creditable one for an attorney to be engaged in ; and he thought that of all discounters an attorney dis counter was the worst, because, if the bills in which he was interested went to action, he killed his own mutton and conducted his own case, putting all the costs into The prisoner is the wife of a decent mechanic, residing in Stoke Newington, and the mother of a family. They have lived for some years in comparative comfort, but latterly the unhappy woman became acquainted with a female of loose character, who first led her into bad company, and then involved her in debt and difficulty. Remorse and the dread that her husband would discover her embarrassed situation drove her into a state of frenzy, and early this morning she strove to drown her- self in the New River at Stoke Newington. A labourer named Cashel, who chanced to be going to his work, heard the splash, rushed to the river side, and saw the prisoner sinking in the water with - all her clothes on. He dashed in and rescued her from a watery grave, although she requested him " for God's sake not to save her." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. LOSS OF LIVES AT BLACKFRIARS' BRIDGE. Under-Sheriff Anderton waited upon the Lord Mayor yesterday, for the purpose of particularly calling his Lordship's attention to the dreadful accident which oc curred at the temporary pier at Blackfriars-bridge, on Monday evening. Numbers of persons had, he said, assembled on the pier to witness a regatta on the water, and a portion of it having given way, several lives were lost. The inhabitants of the neighbouring houses were, in consequence of the frightful occurrence (the full ex tent of which they were not yet acquainted with), in a state of the most painful excitement ; and blame was attached to the Corporation for having allowed the tern - porary pier to remain along the shore, occasioning con siderable danger to human life, and palpable inconve • nience to those engaged in commercial pursuits upon the banks of the Thames. Speaking as one of the public, he could not help saying he was surprised that more nu merous accidents had not occurred. He also begged permission to draw his Lordship's attention to the state of the steam-vessels conve3ing passengers to different parts of the river. Last night one of the steamers was ob served, at Blackwell, to have on board upwards of 1,000 persons, so that there the immense mass stuck, deriving its safety, in a great degree, from the impossibility of moving from one side to the other ; for if the vessel dropped a little upon either side, the most awful de struction must have taken place. He knew that the Lord Mayor had felt and expressed great apprehension of the consequences of thus over-loading when his Lord ship came into office, and had shown a determination to remedy the evil, but he regretted to find that the active exertions of the Chief Magistrate did not appear to re ceive that energetic assistance which was so requisite in circumstances distinguished by such conflicting inte rests. The inhabitants of Blackfriars hoped that the Lord Mayor would visit the river as soon as possible ; and cause the immediate removal of the temporary piers, or at any rate, compel those who derived profit from them, to make them fi rm and secure. The autho rity of his Lordship was the more required, as the over loading seemed to be upon an equality in all the steamers plying from London-bridge to Richmond. The LORD MAYOR expressed his satisfaction at the manner in which the Under-Sheriff had publicly called his attention to the melancholy disaster which had oc curred, and to the practice of overcrowding the steam vessels--a subject which had frequently occupied his mind. He regretted that delays, arising from the nature of the difficulties which pressed upon the subject had taken place ; but the Committee, together with the Waterman's Company, were, with the aid of the City Solicitor, at the present moment engaged in framing rules which would soon be acted upon, and were calculated to remedy the hazardous evil of over-crowding. He certainly con curred with Mr. Anderton, in expressing surprise that more extensive mischief had not taken place. The pe culiar brightness of the weather was certainly favourable to the navigation of the river ; but as fogs might soon be expected, the danger was likely to become imminent. The regulation of the number to be admitted on board each steamer was under consideration, and he trusted the plan to be acted upon would be well adapted to the important occasion. .As to the piers which had been temporarily erected, he had taken care •to throw out a hint to, the • Navigation Committee, that all temporary erections of the kind must be sanc tioned and subjected to constant survey. Whe ther that hint had been acted upon generally he could not tell but the accident of the last evening proved the necessity for' interference. He had given orders to the proper officer to prepare for a survey, which it was his Intention to make from London-bridge to the extent of his jurisdiction up the river, on Thursday next, when, he should cause the removal of everything which he should consider injurious to the navig . ation, and direct that the piers, which the public convenience required, should be adequately secured • and fortified. It appeared to him that the multitude of piers which had been constructed for private advantage, constituted a very great incon venience to the public, as the steamers were, in the course of their passage, in the habit of stopping every two minutes. The trade of people along the banks was like wise considerably affected by the traffic of the steamers, and one coal-merchant hail declared that his loss in wear and tear of barges on account of the ceaseless plying of the crowded boats; amounted to at least 5001 a year. Mr. •Anderton—My apprehension is, that if we do not adopt sortie effective course the Government will save us the trouble by taking the power into their own hands. The LORD MAYOR—My opinion a s regards the regu lition of speed of steam-vessels is, that we should have an authorised agent onboard, a sort of City pilot. We should erect public landi ng 'places ourselves too, and do away with those private piers altogether ; but lam con vinced the Navigation Committee will make very exer tion for the public safety and benefit, and it will no longer be considered' iudispenbible to pack peopl e toge ther like a flock 'of sheep to insure their security from drowning. I shall make the necessary representations to the Committee, and go upon the survey myself on Thursday next. A man named James Randall, who, to suit his purppse, adopts a great variety of names, was brought before Sir John Key, and charged by Horseford, the vigilant, Men dicity Society officer, With, having,.by begging letters and certificates containing forged names, imposed upon seve ral benevolent persons, Horseford stated that, on Wednesday last; he saw Mr. Lambert, of No. 70, Lower Thames-street, and, in con sequence 'of information which he received, he went in pursuit of the prisoner, whom he soon took into cnstody. Upon searching the prisoner's lodgings, wit ness found a seal which corresponded vvith an impression upon a begging petition in the puss: ssion of the prisoner. Mr. Francis D.. Lambert stated, that the prisoner called upon him at his warehouse, in Lower Thames street, about the 6th instant, and produced a book con taining names and subscriptions. Witness gave 'him five shillings,- believing that .he had been ship- I wrecked, as he produced a certificate to that effect. Mr. G. Wawn stated that the prisoner called upon him with the same melancholystory or Shipwreck,on the 6th instant, and witness handed to him 10s, to soften down the calamity. • Mr. J. Taylor, of' No. 36, St. Mary -at-Hill, said the prisoner called 'on him with a forged petition about a month ago, -and witness gave him ss. Mr. Edward West, of No. 26, Buck7ersbury, secretary of the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society, stated that the signature testifying to the correctness of the Statement of the contents, and purporting to be that of Mr. .Wooden, the agent to the Society at Southampton, was false and forged. The Christian name was incorrect. It appeared that the prisoner had levied contributions 1 on several other gentlemen, and that he had the knack of .asking with a natural touch" which set all suspi cion asleep. Sir Josix KEY—How can you get over this evidence, priioner ? The prisoner —Why, my Lord, I was appre hended and taken to Marlborough -street a few days ago, and these documents and statements were regularly laid before the Magistrate, who, however, insisted upon dis charging me, after hearing all they had to say. Now, as his Worship dismissed me, and as nothing new has been produced, I trust your respect for a brother Magistrate, will intimate to you the necessity of discharging me , without further investigation. Horseford said the case before the Marlborough -street Magistrate had not half the force of that which bad been just heard. He admitted that the seal had been found in his trunk, but that, he contended, was nothing, as it had not been found on his person. Horseford produced it number of memoranda, and prepared letters and petitions, addressed to the great and well-known friends of humanity all through the metropolis, representing a series of calamitous visita • bons. In his book' was written down—" Try Mr. of Russell-square ;" " T r y M r . of the Regent's park ;" " Try Mr. ----, of Cornhill, " &c., &c. ; and some lists of subscriptions, which were, no doubt, kept separate for the high houses, contained no sum inferior toll., the prisoner having, in Several instances, put down the sum of 51. to One individual. Sir JonN KEY told the prisoner 'he had been most actively engaged in checking the current of charity by playing off the degrading' arts of an imposter. The prisoner assured the Alderman that it was • notbin.but distress of the most intolerable kind tbat 1 The unfortunate prisoner, who seemed overwhelmed with grief, did not utter a syllable. The Magistrate (Mr. ComBE) consigned her to the care of her friends. Henry Hutchins, charged with bigamy, the particulars of whose case were mentioned in a former number of this paper, was fully committed for trial ; as was John Barrett, for obtaining money by fraudulently represent ing himself as an agent of the Anti-Corn-law League. Ann Fitzgibbon, a heart-broken-looking poor creature, wag charged with annoying and assaulting J. P. Fitzgibbon, her husband. • The prisoner was separated from her husband in April last; since when he has allowed her a weekly sum of 4s. Last evening, having been informed that her husband was going to Bombay next Monday, she west to his residence, No. 4, Britannia -street, where, having quarrelled, she ttruck him a blow on the breast. The plaintiff admitted that he was going to Boltbay, but alleged that he had made a provision for the payment of the allowance to his wife. The prisoner said, fearing the allowance on which her ex istence almost depended, would terminate on her husband's departure, she went to his residence. She heard herhusband had received 55/. yesterday morning. Mr. COMBE said he would not punish the woman further than by binding her over in her own recognisances to keep the peace, and expressed a hope that the complainant would provide for the payment of her pension before he left the country. f MARKET YE WS.-(YESTERDAYq SMITHFIELD.—Coarse Meadow Hay, 31 10s to 4145; 'The. ful ditto, 4! 5s to 4/ lOs ; fine Upland ditto, 4/ 123 to 4i 150; Clover Hay, 4/ 15s to 6/ 6s; Oat Straw, 1/ 12s to 1 1145 ,' Wheat Straw, 1/ 1-1 s to 1/ 16s p er l oa d.

A cabman, of the name of John Cole, got stu pidly drunk, and so excited his horse, that he ran off at a most frightful rate. Cole very soon lost his balance, and was thrown with dreadful violence to the ground, where he lay until some policemen removed him, in a state of unconsciousness, to the surgery of Messrs. Brady, where he remained for nearly an hour before he was considered fit to be removed. The horse, find ing himself free from restraint, dashed on at an in creased speed, until he came in collision with a lamp post, which shattered the cab into pieces, and very much injured the animal, It was very fortunate the road was clear at the time, otherwise an accident must necessarily have taken place. Should not this man be punished otherwise than by the mere taking away of his badge, for thus endangering the lives of others? FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THE LATE MILI TARY OUTRAGE.—A special court of inquiry has this week been instituted by his Grace the Duke of Welling ton, into the late riot at Leeds, and the police and civilians who gave evidence at the trial against the mili tary, have been re-examined at the Leeds Cavalry Bar racks, where the tribunal has been conducted. We believe the Court sat in obedience to a special message of the Commander-in-Chief, and that it has been com posed of officers connected with other regiments than that whose honour is concerned, and that therefore an impartial decision may be anticipated. The inquiry has, of course, been private, but it is probable that the result of the investigation has already been laid before the Commander-in-Chief. We sincerely hope that the con fession of O'Brien and three other convicted military, has been fully investigated, and that, if found to be cor rect, the nineteen parties engaged in preconcerting the outrage, will meet with merited punishment. The Pre sident of the Court was Colonel Jackson, of the 6th Dragoon Guards (Carbineers), stationed at York.-- Leeds Mercury. A Cumous RELlc.—The Prussian Gazette states that a v oung woman of Keine, who •was travelling with h er masters family, 'found on the road to Bautzen a ring set in rubies, which had on one side a representation in relief of Christ on the Cross, and on the other the instruments of pu nishment. The ring bears this inscription—" Martino Lu ther, Catherina V. Boren, die 31 October, 1525." The ring, which is well preserved, is a perfect model of art. IPSWICH THEATRICALS.—The theatre, under the management of Mr. G. Smith, has been open during the week. Madame Celeste and Mr. Webster have appeared in a variety of favourite characters. The celebrated "Polka" has been danced by these two first-rate artistes to crowded houses, amidst unbounded applause,. In this favourite dance Madame Celeste had displayed her inimitable graces, and asserted her claims to the high position she maintains upon the metropolitan boards.' Mr. Gomersal has also introduced a novelty in the shape of a comic song, intitled " Statty Fair," in which he introduced the Mock Cachouca. It has been received with great applause, and no doubt will have a " run." On Wednesday night the performances were under the patronage of Lieut.-Col: Daly, end the officers of the 4th Light Dragoons, upon which occasion, the band of the regi ment was in attendance. The house was crowded to overflow ; indeed the brilliant appearance of the upper circle revived re collections of olden times, and afforded inexp ress ibl e gratifi cation to the love r 's of the drama. On Thursday night, the performances 'were under the patronage of the Stewards of the Races. The Maidqf Otoissey, Foreign Affairs, The Trani. peter's Daughter, and Binks the Bagman, as on the previous evenings, went off with • the greatest possible eclat. Of th e various characters personated by Madame Celeste and' Mr. Webster wecan say no more than that they were sustained to the high admiration of all present. It Is long since the play-going public of Ipswich have had such a variety of brilliant entertainment placed before them, and we as heartily congratulate th.e manager upon his success as we applaud the spirit of enterprise which induced him to form engagements with two such " bright particular stars" as Madame Celest e and Mr. Webster, whose appearance on these boards, limited as it is to only a few nights, will be long remembered with pleasure.—lpswich Journal. FOUND DROWNED.—Sunday morning the body of a man, between forty and fifty yews of age, was found off Cadogan pier, Chelsea. The head was in a most frightful state, the body having lain in the water several days. From inquiries which, have been made, it appears that the de ceased's name was Pegler, and he was formerly a clerk In the banking-house of Messrs. Coutts, Strand, The body lies at the Swan public-house, where the inuest will be held. INTERERIUNG OPERATION.—We have much plea. Fuse in bringing to the notice of our readers a, successful ap plication of science in restoring to a perpendicular position the north wall of 'Market Weston Church, in this county. The church is supposed to have been erected in the fourteenth century. In 1630 it was injured by lightning, and again, ten years since, it was much shattered by a thunder-storm. The time had now arrived when it became necessary to effect a perfect restoration, as from age and the above-mentioned casualties the North wall had declined outwardly nineteen' inches from the perpendicular, and threatened the utter destruction of the building. Undev the superintendence of cur able architect, Mr. Uottinghami this wall (the weight of which had been calculated at 240 tons) has been brought up to the perpendicular, by the process of expanding, by heat, three bars of iron, 2i inches in diameter, which traversed and connected both walls of the church. These bars (which had screws worked on one end of them and projected beyond the south wall) were enclos?d in cast-iron boxes tilled _with lighted charcoal. When the bars were fully ex- Tended by the heat, the screws were wound up firmly to the undamaged south wall. The charcoal boxes were then re- Moved, and the process of onoling commenced. Gradually the bars contracting equally with their previous expansion, compelled the whole mass of the wall to fojiow ;be irresiatible power now exerting itself, and in fait?* successive operations, the whole wall rose to its original perpendicular. The whole operation does infinite credit to Mr. Cottingham. Much commendation is also due to Mr. Reed, of Ixworth, who so ably followed out his directions, as well as to the sea/ous and intelligent workmen who brought to a successful termination this beautiful but simple process. Several of the surrounding' families assembled at Weston Church, on Monday last, to witness the completion of this novel operation, the only in- I stance of which has been, we un d erstand, at the Cathedral of Armit would earngb, under the superiatessdence of th e same arehiteet. Weearnestly h9pe that a similar public-spirited feel ing may be awakened in the breasts of prop.rietors of estates in other parishes, where the sacred eases require separatism, as has been shown by the principal landowner of Market Weston (Mr. J. Thurston) on this occasion.—Ba r y Post.
