Was that friend any person connected wilts the Board of Ordnance?—Not in the remotest degree. Was it any person enenected with the promoters of the North Kent Ra l' ?—Not in the remotest degree. Capta•n Boldero's evidence was next taken. Captain Bol dero had only received the evidence taken on the first day of the sitting of the Committee when he -as examined. He de nied that Mr. Hignett had any authority to use his name in the letter of the 3il of February. The facts elicited in the exareiroeien of Captain Boldero are briefly stated in the fol low ing r xt arts from his evict- nce Chai•en.n— Are you a holder of shares in the North Kew Railway ?—I am not now; I was. Did you buy them yourself in tee market ?—I did not buy them myself in the market. Will yeti state the particulars of that transaction to the Committee? Deeided'y. The date when you became a share-leiter in the North Kent Railway, tine the date when you eet rid of those shares ?—Until the beginning of this year I weer hdd a railway share of any description. My first trans act ere n specelatirg a little in railwass commenced thus :—A (rind if mine ask el me if I would buy some shares in the Chester and Holyhead. I said, " Yes; provided they are mod-rate in price." It was final y agreed between him and me that I should buy twenty shares of him. and he would deliver the' in the coulee ef four or eve slays ii I would give him a cheq•le for 1401.

He explains his motives as fol low • : bV t was the date of that purchase, and the number of shares? i het was in Apr 1 ; 'he next, ate! only other transac tion that I had in the North Kent, something oc unrest in gutting the Bill through the Committee; some objec lions were got over. and a friend advised me to re ineesr in the North Kent. On the 25th of April, I asked Mr to) -tt to buy me fifty or sixty shares. In the afternoon he came • rid said that he had bought leo North Kent shares. I said. " That is mote than I want," and I took 70. There •.1. premium psi I I asked him, also, to buy 25 shares in tee N firth Kent, for a connexion of mine, which be did at 21 I : r ested e. Sir C.

On the 9th of June I sent to Mr. Hignett. and desired him to sell the 65 Mr. Palengten— Your rem siting 40 and your friend's 23 ? —Exactly. There were 30 • o'd fir t, and on the 9h of June I sold 65.

You h a ve n et had any shares since?—No. Your purchases and sales were mad •in the name of Mr. Hignett?—They were. Under your eirectioe ? Certainly. Your name not appearing in the tr ,nsaetien at all?-1 -uppose not ; I told him to buy and sell j us t e e I felt a dispositoa t.. speculate. Tie reason why I sold on the 9 h of June 1 will explain; finding that the evidence was b ew e received by the Commieee, contrary to the spirit aid aidles of the Nlester•General. it struck me that possibly some question might arise in which I should be called upon to offer some explanation, and that induced me to sell. Mr. Duneoe.be : Whvie did you expect that exelanation would be caili.ll for ?—l e ts the House; there might be some pe wees or diseussion about it. I saw that as the matter was wring flit, !heal better be out of it. But previously to this the .11s-ter-General having given his consent to the three competing lines, unqualified to one and condi tioeal to 'he other, which condieons had been accepted, I die not think t pestle.. that any questien could arise in the eepertment effecting the merits of either line, the Master- General having left it to Parliament which of the lines was the best, his as ent tieing given to all three. I understand you to say that the reasons why you d rented that the sale should take place were that certain proceeitirigs w , re going on before the Cm:lfni:tee in conseqeenc- of which you thought that the pro t irie•y of your Mildirei these shares might be questioned ? t)eserieeiy I h a il previously entertained the opinien that no pr es ••bie geese , n eoule tteme Argue , is. I thought that the },resets' ns of the Master-General would, in this case, as iii every ea e which we haul had be ore, be insisted upon by the Cemin't ee to which the Bill want. I had never known any instance to the contrary. Th e eelovri, g evidence was given by Mr. Wray, Receiver fernerai it Piaiiee Ci,ai ma. Were you engaaed in promoting the Suith- Rai way Rh in the ,ear 1816 ? —Yes, I was. I was re a , e,i by the Com, any for that purpose, as banister, or pro ,n. Were 3ou not then the receiver of the police? Yes I % ;at that time I was not of the police co•irts. When you sa, you were retained as a barrister, is the G,mniittee to urviss st t d that it was strictly a prole atonal engagement?— Yes, in this way : I retired frnn practice at the time of my ap pointment in 'P' , 39, but I iiad a good deal of business as arbi and referee, an-t the manner in which I acted for the gnu Eastern Company was thi, : I arbitratsd a great many of the claims of gentlemen of landed property, and amongst the rst Lord sorangford's case. I settled and awarded him 2,c0 / as c.impensatiou f •tt his land. by which I saved the Soo h-C.a , tern otnpany a very largo sum, for, in point of fact, they hal given me authority for a gaol leal n:ore. What were the doe ;es you had to discharge as a barrister ?—I had three or four referenees of that kind, and generally promoting the inte rests of the company, and of course [did everything I could ts pro note them.

It is a d fli ult thing to recollect what occurred so ma ny tears ago now, but I have no recollect.Mn of any par tieuar persons. How were you pail by the Company for your services ?—I thought myself very ill-paid, but I think al together aleint-20'1. or 30'4.

Mr. Justice Patteson arrived here at about three o'clock this afternoon, and having opened the commission at the Bridewell Hall, proceeded to attend Di. ine service at St. Helen's Church. The assize sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Yates, the Vicar of St. Mary's parish, Reading. There are eight causes entered for trial, one only being a special jury case; and it is expected that it will probably not come on at these assizes.

The Court, under these circumstances, directed that. a notice upon the party who appeared as attorney in the cause should be deemed sufficient, and the case stood over to the present assizes upon that footing. One of the defendants, named Henry Oldfield, now appeared to answer the charge made agaiost him, and an affidavit made by his attorney was put in, which stated that notice of the intention of the defendant to surrender had been served upon the person who acted as the attorney for the prosecution ; and the defendant himself made an affidavit that he was entirely innocent of the charge, and that overtures had been made to him to compromise the matter, and that he believed the pro secution had been got up by Moses Jacobs, and that the object was not to carry out the ends of justice, but merely to extort money from the parties who had been indicted. Mr. Justice Coleridge, having read the affidavits, and ascer tained that no one appeared for the prosecution, said he thought the defendant had done all that could be required of him, and therefore he was entitled to an acquittal. The jury accordingly, under the direction of his Lordship, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Solomon Shadbolt, 47, George Shadbolt, 25, Benjamin Shadbolt, 20, and Jonathan Shadbolt, 26, all described as la bowers, were indicted for a burglary of a very daring charac ter in the dwelling-house of Priscilla Blundell, at the parish of Little Wvmonsley. Mr. Ryland prosecuteel. Mr. Lydeker defended Solomon Shadbolt, ana Mr. Hawkins and Mr. T. Chambers appeared for the other prisoners. This case came on on Friday, and from the voluminous na ture of the evidence it occupied the Court until late in the day. The prosecutrix deposed that she kept a general shop in the above village, and on the night of the 3d February she went to bed, leaving the house properly secured—in the course of the night she was awoke by hearing the footsteps of men over her head in an upstairs room, and very soon afterwards she saw the hand's of her bed-room door turned twice, but no further at• tempt was made to gain admittance. She was too much frightened to give any alarm, and the next morning, on her going down stairs, she discovered that the house had been ran sacked, and a large quantity of property, consisting of wearing apparel. flannel, calico, tea, &c., removed. The officers then produced several large bundles, containing articles found in the possession of the prisoners, and several things were identified by the prosecutrix. Two inspectors of the Herta constabulary, named Good and Bankes, were then examined, and it appeared that, in the be ginning of April, they searched the cottages of the prisoners Solomon, Benjamin, and George, at Burnham-green, about eight miles from the residence of the prosecutor, and they there fund all the articles they had produced, together with a chisel and centre bit, that corresponded in size with the marks upon the door of the prn'ecutrix's house. The other prisoner, Jona than, was apprehended in London, and at his lodgings some n•ore of the stolen property was discovered. It also appeared that while the prisoners Benjamin and George were in the custody of the police, one of them said to the other, " I suppose we shall be transported for this;" to which the reply was, 6 . I suppose we shall, but if we had not been at home that night, the should have had a job t , catch us." The prosecutrix. of course, from the nature of the articles stolen. was unsble to identify them positively, but it was rather singular that the prisoners having carelessly thrown about the tickets with the prices, that had been attached to many of them, she was enabled to identify them positively, from their having her handwriting upon them. The jury found all the prisoners Guilty. . _ Evide'nc - e was then gi;en that Solorn - on had been before connected of felony, and the constables stated that they had every reason to believe that the whole of the prisoners were connected with a daring gang of depredators. The stolen pro perty was, in the first in4ance, sent to London, where it was divided, Jonathan retaining his portion, and dispo•tng of it, and the remainder was then sent back to the other prisoners' cottages, where it was f iutid, as stated by the police. Mr Justice COLERIDGE sentenced Solomon Shadbolt to be transported for twenty, and the others for fifteen, years. SURREY SESSIONS. (Bef , ire Mr. Pucimx and a Bench of Magistrates.) On Thursdiy James Bowesly aged fifty, described as a schoolmaster. in William-street. Poplar-row, in the parish of Newington. was indicted for indecently assaulting two little gills named Palmer, sisters, who attended his school. From the evidence it appeared that the. defendant arid his wife conducted an infant sehool, and that it was part of his duty to teach the female children, as well as the males, writing and arithmetic, In the performance of that office, it was given in evidence that the defendant had behaved with gross inde cency to some a the female children, but more especially to two girls, sisters, of the name of Palmer, the daughters of a decent mechanic. The children were at first a.raid to mention what had taken place at the school when they got home; but one of them having confided to another the circumstances, the► deiendisit's gross conduct at length came to the knowledge of the children's parents, and thlr, in consequence, instituted the present prosecution against him The children, in the course of their examination, gave similar testimony to that which they had recently done at the police-court, and which has already appeared. The defendent denied the charge. and insinuated that it was got up against him in order to remove him from his situation. There, however, being no grounds for such an assertion as that uttered by the defendant, the jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced . to six months' imprisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. A black-bearded, ill-conditioned fellow, named Ned Nowlan, app• area before the Lord Mayor, upon the charge of having clf•serted his wife, Mary INT.wlan. Mary Nowlan deposed that she had been married tq the d•-f•ndant about the middle of August, sixteen years ago i • ttett he had deserted her for a younger woman, one Sa-ah stulhearn. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, Mr. Nowlan, what have you to •ay in answer to the accu'ation of having aban doned your wife? Nowlan—Och, faith, I have an answer for her. Devil a bit of her was ever married to Mary Nowlan—Warn't we, though? Faith, and that we were, to my sorrow, fast enough, legally and lawfully. Nowlan—Why, you know we were only tacked toge ther ; and the person that tacked us had no right to marry. You know I gave him eighteenpence for the joh.—(Laughter.) Mare Nowlan—Hadn't he any right, though ? That won't do, Mr. Nowlan. You know well enough that he had Pl. ase your lionour (to the Lord Mayor) he was as good a parish priest as ever married a couple. Fa ther Quin was his name, and may the Lord bless him, and every holy man like him. The LORD NIAYOR—WhPre were you married? Now ian—We were not married—never —upon my sowl ; all that was done waa juat tacking. Mary Nowlan—We were married. please your Lord- Alp, at the private apartments of Father Quin, a thing that's quite usual in Ireland. Ah ! then, Nowlan, how can you talk so ? Nowlan—Talk so ? Ynu know you'r- no wife of mine. B •sides y..ur Lor&hip she absconded from me, so that she has no call to me at all. The LORD MAYOR—Pray how could she abseon I from you if she didn't happen to be Your wife ? Nowlan— She 'tut away from me at Manchester. The LORD MAYOR—Why, yon are furnishing evi dence against yourself. Now. Mrs. Nowlan, Mary Nowlan—Faith, ther, here I am, your Lordship. The LORD MAYOR—You are a R tman Catholic, you say ? Mary Nowlan (turning up h-r eyes and bl-ssing herself)—Ah, then, the Lord knows I am,— (L utrhter.) The LORD MAYOR— And your husband who stands there is a Roman Catholic ? Mary Nowlan—Lori, yes your worship. _ . . . Nowlan—Not I. my Lord ; I'll be on my oath I'm • no religion at all. I'm neither Catholic, nor Protestant, nor anything else, as I'm ready to swear upon a sackful of Bible-s.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—Upon my word you appear to be a very re,p ,, ,table man.—(4l laugh.) Pray what trade are you ? Nowlan --A hatter. Mary Now;an—Not he, your Lordship. I male a hatter of him. I learned him the trade, but he is now a regular duffer. He supports Sal Mulhearn by duffing, and she swears she'll be the death of me on his account. The LORD MAYOR—Did he regularly attend a Ro man Catholic chapel before he mar r ied you ? Mary Nowlan—Certainly, he did ; both before and after. The LORD MAYOR—I consider the marriage a per fectly good one, and you must come to an arrangement with the parlqh officers about the support of your wife. Mr. Nowlan. I remember a case of bigamy, the cir cumstances of which present a strong similarity. A prisoner was charged with bigamy before Mr. Justice Partison. The first marriage was proved to have taken place in Ireland, and to have been performed by a Ro man Catholic priest ; but the prisoner insisted that it was bad in point of law, as he was a Protestant at the time of the marriage, and the woman was a Roman Ca tholic. The only evidence there was to prove that he was a Roman Catholic was, that upon several occasions, prior to the marriage, be attended mass ; a conviction followed. Now, I convict Mr. Nowlan of having de serted his wife ; and I send him to prison for three months. Here a muttering was heard from a female voice in the crowd outside the bar. The LORD MAYOR—What noise is that ? Mrs. Now lan—My Lord s that's Mrs. Mulhearn. My husband swears that nothing but the sea shall ever separate him self and herself, and that she would rob an altar—(Christ bless U 3 !)—to supply him with money.—(A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—Do you swear that you consider yourself in danger from the threats of this woman ? Mrs. Nowlan—l do, my Lord. When I called, at the desire of the parish officers, to look after my husband, she took me up in her arms and knocked me down, and swore she would tear me into rib.nds. Mrs. Mulhearn—l don't want to have anything to say to her or her husband, my Lord. Let them both go off together. If all her husbands—or the men she knows every bit as well—follow her. she'll have plenty of 'em after her, I can tell you.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYoR—I must order you to find bail, as well as Mrs. Nowlan. _ _ Mrs. Nowlan and Mrs. Mulhearn were then locked up in different compartments of the Mansion-house cage, so that his Lordship found a way to separate them which they little calculated upon. staro in ei,tl6 s Coy n;-garAan •••nii• went ov.r to the Waterloo-ro,.d ; that on hi, retort in passing over the bridge alone, the complainant, who was intoxicated. shoved up against him, and a dispute arising. he edited th , polieo, nod gavcs him into en. lod) f. r a idghw.zy ttlib• ry. That wh. n they g(t, to the Bow street station-house. he drove the emnp.ainant and th, poliveman who took him into custody over to the Thatne-- street .tation in his own cab. Mr. COTTINOHAM said that he should reit-and the pri• soner, in order to give an opportunity for other evidence to be produced b fore he sent the case for trial. Tilt Magistrate also remarked on the extraordinary conduct of the police at the Bow-street station, in permitting a man charged with highway robbery to drive the coin plainant and policeman over from that place in his own vehicle. to the Tower-street station. _ _ The prisoner wss th.n r , rnanded until Wednesday. WANDSWOR TH. On Saturday Mr. Paynter, the sittiue.. Magistrate, was occupied for several hours in a case under the I:ew Bas tardy Act. The defendant was Mr. Robert Cook Mr ore. of the firm of Bruce and Moore, medical fixture dealers No. 24, St. Mary Axe ; and Emily Fi Id, a young woman of respectable appearance, was the complainant. Mr. Games conducted the case on the part of the com plainant, and Mr. Burn appeared for the defence. Mr. Games said the complainant was the daughter of poor but respectable people, living in the lower pert of Norfolk. When she was about twenty-one years of a ge she entered the service of Mrs. Moore, the widow of the Rev. Robert Moore, rector of Clay-on-the-Sea, in the county of Norfolk. The defendant, who is the eldest son of Mr. Moore, commenced paying attentions that were far from honourable to the complainant; After three years' persecution the complainant quitted Mr. Moore's service, upon these grounds only. She entered the ftmily of Mr. Wain, of Manchester -street, Manchester square, and it was in this house, on the 22d of Septem- Ler last, that the occurrence took place which led to the present proceedings. On that occasion the famiiy were out of town, and the defendant,whom his client had nk,ver seen since she left Norfolk, came to the house. Some conversation took place between the parties in the par lour, when the defendant suddenly seized the com plainant by the waist, and after a desperate struggle on her part, threw her on the sofa, and succeeded in his object,. Soon afterwards the defendant's brother, a mere youth, who was in the habit of visiting the complainant, called. and the defendant walked away with him. The result of this forcibht violation was the birth of a female child on the 18th of June last. The complainant having been sworn gave evidence in support of the foregoing statement. Cross-examin , 4 by Mr. Burn—l persist instating that I was never intimate with any other man. Corbett Metcalf Nfoore stated that he was brother to the defendant. He recollected going to No. 45, Kin chester-Areet, on the 22d of September last, and finding his brother there. John Wooding, a grocer, in the Plain, Wandsworth, said the complainant was his niece, she came to his house and was confined on Tuesday, the 18th of June. The solicitor for the defence argued that no corrobo rative evidence of the defendant being the father of the child bad been adduced. Mr. PAYNTER siid there was no reasonable doubt that the defendant was the father of the chi d, and ordered hi t• to pay 2s. 6d. per week. Mr. Burn said his client would appeal against the ma gistrate's deeisi( n. [ADVVRTIS)..MENT RE OR:t' of JOHN 11 , KINNON, ESQ., 11Yf•EIAN GVNERAL %GENT TO THE BM 11SEI COLLEGE OF HEALTH.

I shall therefore confine myself to astonishinfr, re coveries, made under God's blessing by the pills and powder of the British Coll.sge of ' Health. since my last report, and which has been crowned with victory, after - the licensed practiloners had been forced to relingnish all hope, and cons,-qu,ntly mutt be acceptable to all true Hygeists. Case I.—ln June, 1844, Donald I•Donald, aged twenty-six, was brought to me in a deplorable concliti,ln, he could not walk from tht3l. rgeness of the rupture in dangerous and tender part, which had become so large that it resembled a three half pint ink bottle. I gave him a bandage, with directions to take up the same as the rupture decreased. I put him on twenty pills daily, 1 and 2 alternate days, and desired him to disolve the 2's and wash ex - ernally with the decoction ; good signs soon appeared and he continued about six weeks, when a cure was performed; he is now in good health, and as active as if he never had been afflicted. Case 2.—Michael Doily, aged 13 years, brought to me in August last, from his ancle to the knee of the right leg the fl,sh had teen entirely eaten away by the evil, which had all joined into one frightful sore, several small bone: had worked out ; he had been declared in curable by the doctors. I kept him on daily purgation. with alternate doses of Nos. 1 and 2, without intermis sion for nearly five months ; the only outward app!i cation was a salve. made by myself, to keep the dirt and cold from the wound, with a cover of common adhesive plaster to keep the salve to the part. He has been dis charged perfectly sound many weeks since, and his father has recen.ly informed me that his boy is as well as his heart could desire. Case 4.—Ranna llill, E•q., for a considerable time under the hands of the doctors, in a consumptiv'- dis ease, without benefit.

The doctors could net assist him; he had long tried to no good purpose. Case 7.—Fenenda Spencer, a young woman, had been in a general decline for a long time ; when she first commenced w ith the universal medicine, she did not appear within the reach of human aid, but the List ac count her friends gave me was in hr,e words, " .he is ge ting rapidly well. and the glow of health has again ,begun to bloom in her race." t,ase B.—Thomas Townssna. of Louisburg, at de th's door; violent crampings, vomiting and purging, resem bling the chol , ra. the doctor was of no service to him.

So very low and reduced had she become, that a travelling minister actually remained, and was detained by me for two days, for the express purpose of committing her remains to the grave and to improve the opportunity by preaching a funeral at-rmon. I had also detained a medical gentleman under my roof for eight days, at the end of which period he gave up all hopes of her restoration to health. It was then, sir, and not until then, that at the re commendation of a worthy Gospel Minister, I became determined to test the efficacy of your medicines ; although I must declare that my faith was reduced to a very - low ebb in consequence of her very feeble and re duced condition.

SUICIDE BY A MERCHANT IN THE CITY.--(From a Correspondent.)—We regret to learn that Mr. Clements, late a partner in the extensive and respectable firm of Messrs. G. Boils. field and Co., woollen warehousemen, 60, Gracechurch-street, com mitted suicide during the night of Monday last. It appears that on the 25th of June, only a fortnight ago, Mr. Clements ceased to be a partner in the firm of Messrs Bousfield and Co., for whom he also acted as traveller. and as such was well known throughout the provinces. We understand that in all his commercial dealings Mr. Clements was a man of unimpeachable integrity but prior to the dissolution of partnership some unpleasant words having been ut. tered in the warehouse, a separation was resolved on, after a service of nearly forty years. After the dissolution of partnership Mr. Clements commenced business as a woollen warehouseman in Queen.street, Cheapside ; but a few days after he had taken pos. session of the premises he seemed to be suffering from the effects of indisposition, and was recommended to proceed to the country to get a change of air. Accordingly he proceeded to Dartford, Kent, where some of his friends reside, accompanied by his daughter. On Monday evening he left his temporary residence for the purpose of taking, as he said, a short walk in the fields. As he did not return that night or the next worsting (Tuesday), inquiries were made after him, and he was found lying in a field D wi a t r h tfo h r i d s ttohraowataict a ut nearly from inquest.

PALMER AND EIGHT SEAMEN OF HER MAJESTY'S SLOOP WASP. Asmotrra, JULY 10.—The prisoners were again brought up, and Cuqurreria desired to make an addition to his evidence of yes.. terday. On being permitted, and again sworn, he stated as fol. lows : Emanuel Jose Alves was the man in the boat after he had his bead cut open by the English quarter.master. As soon as he came from the boat, on board the schooner again, he came forward where the blood was, and took it up with both hands and drank it: Emanuel Prangs& Roitegres. a black, and native of the Isle of France, was then etamined it considerable length. He deposed to having been engaged by the prisoner Serval as a servant, and to his having subsequently gone to sea in the Echo, which took on board 434 slaves at Lagos. She was captured by the British. 'He was placed in a boat with sin others and towed at the stern of the prise. When he had been there about half an hour he heard a noise from the deck of the schooner. He could not see what was doing, but about ten minutes after he first heard the noise he saw two bodies of white men disappear in the water. In the place where they went down the water was led. I also saw two blacks swim ming. They had blue shirts on. Serve said about two minutes after, " Haul the bust up. there is no more danger." I still heard the same noise. I heard a voice twice, and I rather think it was Serva's, saying in Portugnese, " Kill, kill." Serve called to us to pull up the boat, and I then got on deck, and saw four of the prisoners wounded on the head. They were passing handkerchiefs over their heads. Another had a wound on the side. There was blood on the deck. There was a large quantity on the starboard side forward. The prisoner then gave directions so as to get alongside the Echo to board her. Several of the men objected. The other party then said, "We must; give it up, because we have no arms." Serve then said, " Pass by the Echo, and fire into her mainmast." One of the guns was then fired. Serve then claimed the vessel for his owners. The witness then detailed the circumstance of the recapture of the Star. _ The witness was subjected to a long cross-examination by the solicitor for the prisoners, but nothing of any importance was elicited. The Court then adjourned to FRIDAY.— On the prisoners being brought up this day_ the third approver—a negro slave, who had obtained his freedom by touching en the British soil—was examined. At the time of the affray he was in bed, and refused, when urged to do so, " to take any part in the quarrel between the whites." He described the appearance of the vessel, and the language used by the prisoners after the English bad been destroyed, and in these respects his evidence was confirmatory of that previously adduced. _ . The Court then committed the ten prisoners on the charge of Wilful Murder on the high seas. It will be for the Crown to de. termine whether they shall be tried at Exeter or in the Central Criminal Court. fell; and, en actually rising, fell a second time. She di , e• covered her husbano, and with much difficulty got from him a hammer about a foot long, weighing nearly a pound, with which the blow had been infliomd. The hammer was pro duced in Court, and there was on the handle, just under the iron, a slicht and very faint trace of blood. The osecutrix c..uld not tell ith which e:d she had been struck, whether by the w ed or the m.• al. The prisoner took her handkerchief off her bosom, and tied it on her eyes, telling her he was going to wipe them, when she replied that he need not wipe her eyes, itf.er treating her as he had done. She went down stairs, and endeavoured to get out through the back door, but it was blted, and while she was trying to open it, the prisoner took the hammer from her. He then tkok something out of a box, in which he kept razor% went up stairs, and was seen no more that evening by his wife. The prosecutrix at length opened the bark door, throu2h which, however, she did sot then leave the house, but went to the front door, and called out to her n..iehb 'or, Mrs. Johnson, for help, but no one heard her. She then returned to the back door, and through it made her way to Mrs. Johnson's house. Mr. Johnson, who saw her, said she was in a very fainting state, and bleeding profusely from some wounds in the head. He took her into his house, and at once sent for medical assistance. The surgeon described the Hurl to be a narrow contused wound on the back of the head, two inches long, going to the bone, and a small bruise adjoining it. just such as might have been inflicted with the hammer produced in Court. It would not appear that the prisoner made y attempt to escape, as he was on the follow ing day apprehended in his own house. Mr. WILLIAMS addressed the jury for the defeace, and con tended that there could have been no intention to commit grievous bodily harm, serious as the injury was, and that the nrisoner, who was a earnenter by trade, and therefore must have a hammer frequently in his hand , had in all probability been irritated by the dispute about going to church, and then by the accusation respecting the box, arid had followed his wife up stairs, and in this excitement had struck her with the wooden handle. It was quite clear that had he aimed a blow wi , h the iron end, no human skull could have escaped being frac tured, and death must in all probability have been the result. Mr. Justice PATTESON having summed up, the jury, after a very short deliberation, acquitted the prisoner of the felony, and found him guilty of a common assault only. His LORDSHIP then addressed the prisoner, and told him that he had had a very narrow escape, as, if his wife had died of the wounds, his crime would have been murder, and he most certainly would have been executed for it. As it appeared, however, that while working on a railway, and also while in prison, he had suffered from most violent headaches, which almost deprived him of his senses, that would be taken into consideration in meting out the punishment, though it was no defence whatever for the brutal a...sauit he had committed. The Learned Judge then sensenced the prisoner to nine months' imprisonment and hard labour. HOME CI RCUlT.—.Fleptforl, July 11. This circuq eommencod on Thursday, on whieh day the Com. mission was opened with the usual form. The business is very light, there being only seven prisoners for trial on the Crown side. Twenty-• , ne caves are entered on the civil side, but the greater tart of them are undefended, and there are only three special jury cases. CROWN COURT. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE presided in this Court; and after the grand jury had been sworn his Lordship proeeeded to de liver his charge to them After congratulating them upon the small number of prisoners for trial and the probability that their I bours would be of very short duration, his Lordship -aid that having made all the remarks that appeared to him to he neeessary with respect to the cases in the calendar, he wo'ild procee I to offer a few observations to them upon the im po taro subject of the state of crime in the county. He had barite him the criminal return. for England and Wales, upon which his observations would chi , fl- he founded. By these re turns it appeared that the number of prisoners committed for trial, or baited, during the pa.t year. in the collet) , of Hert for'. was 271. if they went back for ten years, they would find that the number at that time, for the same period, was 1 3 ; and ever since there had been a steady increase; and it we.s wierthy of consideration whether this could be accounted for by the increase of the p pul 'lion during the same period, or whether it was owing to the m dcterioration of the popula ton of the county. He observed t' at in every other county in Eovland. during, the last two years. there had been a decrease in the number of committals. and &though the increase in this county was certainly hot small, yet he thought they ought to regard the gut ject wiih a very jealous ey , and endeavour if possible to trace out the caus's i.f that increase It was satis factory to a certain extent to perceive that although there was an increase in the number of committals in the county, yet that there were very few cases of violence to the persnii, and the trim's mostly consisted of common larceny and larceny by servants; and while upon this part of the subject he would mention one circums ance which in their capacity of strigis trstes. he thought very important for their consideratinn , He perceived by the returns that out of 271 prisoners who were committed or bailed to take their trial. onl% 177 were convicted, and as many as 94 were either acquitted, not prosecuted, or the hills against them were ignored by the grand jury. Now he should not he so unjust as to found, upon such a return as this, a complaint of the manner in which the m gistrates per formed their duty ; hut at the same time he must take the liberty of calling their attention to the very great proportion of persons who had been sent to prison for a greater or less period, and who were eventually acquitted of the charges brought again thron. It might be the opinion of some that with re cord to a great many of those persons, although acquitted, yet there Was ne moral doubt of their guilt ; hut if they placed any faith in the due administration of the laws of the country, they would see that tt ey ought not to place much weight upon that opinion. and he, therefore, begged to impress upon them the importance of not sending persons for trial upon slight grounds. In all ca-es of imprisonment it wag a great evil to the party who suffered it. and however improved their system of prison discipline might be, yet if any one was confined upon slight or insufficient grounds it could not fail to be a source of great in. justice to himself personally, and very probably of evil to that society which he afterwards joined. His Lordship then pro ceeded to observe that it was gratifying to see by the returns that generally throughout England crime was on the de crease ; in the mining districts there had been an increase, which was probably occasioned by the strikes of the workmen for higher wages, which hail always been productive of crime ; and he said he would here remark that the mere improvement of the physical condition of the people did not appear to have any tendency to diminish crime. As an instan-e of this he would state that when he was at the last winter circuit in the county of Durham, i ap peared that in the coal mining districts the workmen were get ting four or five-and-twenty shillings a week, with hou.e rent anal coals for nothing, while in the other districts no more than the ordinary agricultural wages were being paid ; but yet the far greater proportion of crime ap,teared to have been com mitted in the firmer, and the extent of crime in the latter was comparatively trifling. God forbid that he should wish to de press the physical con iitinn of the working classes ; but be wag quite certain they would only half do their work in the reoression of crime if they neglected their moral con dition at the same time. It was melancholy to see that, +hone' there had been a general diminution in the amount of crime, vet that cases of violence against the person had v"ry much increased, and particularly one class of offence• connected with the game daws, which he thought he ought not to pass over. In addition to the ordinary cases, of being armed at night in pursuit of game. tresspassing, &c., it appeared that during the year 1844 there were three cases of murder, nineteen of shooting at keepers or other persons with intent to commit murder, and two eases of manslaughter, all ar i s i ng o ut o f nfroiccs connected with the game.laws He thought this afforded matter for very serious consideration; and without wishing to say anything invidious, he could not help remarking that it was impossible not to lament that the present system of protecting game led to such serious results. Having made these observations, he would now express his opinion that the only mode by which crime could he surely re• pressed was to improve the moral condition of the people. It had been urged by the advocates for the abolition of capital iiiinishment. that th certainty of severe secnnitary punishment would certainly tend to diminish crimes of that character, but he regretted that the returns before him, and his own expe rience. did not bear out that expectation, and he was sorry to ay that the crimes from which capital punishment had been taken away had increased more in proportion than any others. The offences of cutting and wounding, attempts at murder, and the crime of murder itself, hail increased thirty per cent. There appeared to he a very great increase among the prisoners of persons who were able to read and write, but this showed that such an education was not sufficient, and that it was of no avail unless the persons who received it were taught to employ it properly, and that it would be of very little use to improve the physical condition of the people, or to give them education, unless education was founded upon morality and religion. The grand jury then retired. WESTERN CIRCUIT.— W inchester, July 1 1. The Commis ion was opened here yesterday by both the Ju 1g.., Mr. Justice Erie and Mr. Baron Platt. Their Lord .hir attended Divine service in the Cathe Iral this morning, zfter which they proceeded to enter upon the bu-iness of the a+sizes about one o'clock. The calendar only contains twenty eight cases, but exhibits a proportion unusually great of atro cious crimes. Two persons are charged with feloniously wounding, six with manslaughter and child murder, while there are no less than four cases of bestiality. TYE DUEL AT PORT SUOUTH. Although it is known that the parties concerned in this lamen , able occurrence will not surrender to take their trials at the present aisizes, yet, as the depositions have been returned, and a bill of indictment prepared for presentation to the grand jury in the usual manner, Mr Baron Platt made some obser vations to that body upon the subject upon the present occasion. His Lordship observed that the law up6n the subject of duelling was extremely clear, and had been distinctly laid down in the several text books upon the subject. His Lordship then pro ceeded to read from Russell upon Crimes the several principles upon the subject which were applicable to the present ca s e; and the general effect of which was, that a party who had caused the death of another, under circumstances which disclosed a deliberate purpose upon the part of the slayer to gratify a feel• ing of revenge by inflicting grievous bodily mischief with a deadly weapon, was guilty of murder. With regard to the case where the infliction of death was preceded by the circum stances of great provocation having been given to the slayer by the deceased, it hail been laid down that in order to reduce the offence in such cases from murder to man sl:ught,r, it was essential that the wounding, battery, &c.. should have been inflicted immediately upon the occurrence of the provocation. for if there were a sufficient coding time for passion to subside and reason to interpose, and the person so provoked afterwards kills the other, this is deliberate revenge, and not heat of blood, and accordingly amounts to murder. If, therefore, two persons deliberately fight a duel, and one of them be killed, the other and his second are guilty of murder, no matter how grievous the provocation, or by which party it was given, and even the second of the deceased is guilty of the same crime, as being present aiding and abetting. It may perhaps be suggested that, in the case under consideration, the woend inflicted in the duel was not the immediate cause of death, and that it had, in fact, resulted from the surgical ope ration. But this would not be an available defence, if the wound originally given was mortal, and if the effect of the surgical treatment had only been to hasten the decease. The jury would take care, as it was their duty to do, that they should not suffer their minds to be in any degree influenced by anything which they had previously read or heard upon any part of the case, and although they may not be able, upon the evidence before them, to decide with perfect certainty as to the real character of the offence, yet if they considered that there were different grounds for putting the matter into a course of more minute and searching examination, their duty would be to return the bill. and leave the merits of the case to be finally deciiied upon a full investigation o! a l l o l,lthertwofacts in an d d ie t t h m e e l n a t w s . for The jury having retired , returned common larcenies, which occupied the Court fur the rest of the day.

CROWN COURT—( &tore Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) An application was made to his Lordship to dispose of an indictment that was preferred at these assize: in 1844, against eleven persons fatunlawfully keeping booths for the purposes of gaming, at the Gorhambury Races of that year. The indictment in question was preferred at the summer hdii:.htm oeencat whose s w in o n would names Clarkson c assizes, an d t h e grand jury returned a true bill aga i nst a ll t h e defendants i s i :Pnears-d upon it, and the trial of the indictment onm rk t ‘na a p t pe t a h r e ed l: f a n t r s s i n ir m in e g of ass t i h ze e s, d o , n w. i ,, e t. u p d s an t, t , s l , ,r h o u v , e it th .,: ; m - mea d st , ehr ~ 'he " prosecutor" had not taken any brought before the court, and Mr. Ciarkson thereupon obtained-an -acquittal. The judge who presided inqui-ed whether the prosecutor had been soiled with the usual notice of the intention of the DREADFUL MURDER. On Tuesday morniag last, the greatest excitement prevailed in Penzance, in consequence of the discovery of one of the most appalling murders that it has ever fallen to our lot to record. The supposed perpetrator of this tragical crime is a man named Benjamin Ellison, aged about 55 ; and, we are informed, belonging to some part of the north of England. His unfortunate victim was Elizabeth Rous Seman, about the same age as himself, and also an entire stranger in Penzance. They had resided together about eighteen months, in one of the cottages in Rosevean-road, nearly opposite the Catholic Chapel. Previously to the discovery of the murder, about eleven o'clock on Monday night, Ellison called at the Temperance Hotel, in Princes-street, and asked for some refreskment. He inquired if he could sleep there that night; and on being asked why he did not go home, he said it was too late to do so, and requested to see a man named Eddy, who lodged at the hate'. Eddy came, and in the course of conversation asked how Mrs. Seman (the murdered woman) was, to which Ellison replied that she was unwell. He appeared depressed in spirits, and was continually examining and rubbing his hands. He retired to rest, and on the following morning, between five and six o'clock, came down stairs and left the hotel. From thence it appears he went to the house of a Mrs. Hill, in Rosevean.road, and informed her that his house had been broken open, and that Mrs. Seman was murdered. Greatly alarmed she accompanied him to the fatal spot, where, stretched on the doer, lay the mutilated remains of the unfortunate woman. Her face was covered w,th a gauze veil, and there were marks of blood in all directions. Ellison said he woeld inform the police, and re quested Mrs. Hill to give the alarm. About nine o'clock he again called at the Temperance Hotel, communicating the dreadful intel. ligence there, and shortly afterwards was himself arrested on suspicion. The scene at the house on Tuesday morning was horrifying in the extreme. A huge hatchet was finvid upon the floor where lay the unfortunate victim, whereoy the head was nearly severed from the body. Upon the handle and blunt part of the axe were spots of blood, and in the hand of the deceased was clasped some hair, which it is said corresponded in,colour with Ellison's. The back part of the head was nearly beaten in, and other parts of the body were dreadfully cut and mangled. From appearances, there is reason to believe that a desperate struggle must have ensued between the deceased and her murderer; and it is reported that the hands of Ellison are much bruised, and one of his fingers apparently bitten. About seven o'clock on Monday evenieg a neighbour of the deceased met Ellison on the North Parade, and soon atter that time he was seen on Rosevean.road proceeding in the direction of the house were the murder was committed. No alas in of any kind was heard by the neighbours, but it appears they were principally in the town witnessing the proceedings connected with the general holiday. A Coroner's inquest was hi.ld upon the body as speedily as prac ticable, before John Roscorla, Esq., and a respectable jury. The proceedings occupied between eight and nine hours, during the whole of which time the hall was crowded. The evidence ad. duced was of a circumstantial nature, but sufficiently conclusive to lead the jury, after a short consultation, to return a verdict of " Wilful Murder " against Benjamin Ellison. He was committed to take his trial on the charge at the next assizes, and left Pen zance in custody at an early hour en Wednesday morning for Bodmin. Messrs. Millett and Borlase attended the inquest on behalf of Ell ison, who has stated various particulars regarding the deceased. He says that she was in the receipt of an annuity, and was shortly about to be married to a gentleman of title, on which event taking place she had agreed to settle upon him (Ellison) an annual income. He also states that a gold watch, and wearing apparel to a consider. able amount, had been stolen from the dwelling.—Cornwall Adver tiser of Friday. FREAKS OF A FLASH OF LIGHTNING.—O❑ Tues day morning, about six o'clock, the electric fluid fell on the house of M. Bousselier, Rue du Commerce, Grenetle, and demolished the chimney. It then passed through the we , l, and entered the cham ber of a marchand-de vin, named Teissedre, resitting in the next house, and running along the bed irons, melted the curtain rings, broke a secretary to pieces, and split a zinc bucket, near a bed, where two children were asleep, but did them no injury. It then broke the espagnolette of the window into three pieces, went down to the salle-a.manger, where it broke twenty.eight panes of glass, passed out through a window at the back of the house, and returning to the house of M. Boussilier, tore to pieces the zinc roof. It next passed across the street, and melted 17f. in silver and copper, which a milkwoman held in her apron, then en tered the kitchen and passed out of the dining-room, after break. ing eight panes of glass. The razors, keys, and other iron articles of the secretary, were found to be strongly magnetised. The sit. ♦er and sous of the milkwoman were reduce-1 by the melting to pieces no larger than shot, and she herself was paralysed fir 24 bouts in all her limbs. In a butcher's shop close by 400 to 500 kilogrammes of meat were so spoiled as to be totally unlit for use. —Galignani. FALL OF A BUILDING IN PHILPOT-LANE.—On Fri day morning. shortly before nine o'clock. an accident happened on the premises of Mr. Tayler, wine importer, 23, Philpot-lane, City, which was attended with serious consequence to two exca vators. As four men, employed to excavate the earth at the tear of the premises of Mr. Taytir, were pursuing their avoca tion, the building fell with a frightful crash, burying two of them in the ruins. The fall is described by an eye_ witness as being al most instantaneous, nor was there any previous warning given to the men, except an extraordinary creaking of the beams, immediately alter which the roof, skylight, and wood work fell into the cavity the excavators had made. One of the men was driven with such violence against the wall that his head is consi derably injured, and he was obliged to be b , ed and sent home. Two others, named White and Burch, were dug out after consid- rabic difficulty; the former was protected by a large beam falling above him, but Burch was covered by the rubbish, and when extricated froth his perilous position, it Wad found that he was extensively injured. A ikelancholy event happene , i yesterday morning on the Champ de Mars. During a review of the cavalry by the Duk, de Nemours, accompanied by his brother the Duke umale, General Count ae Sparre, who was on the ground as inspector.general, was suddenly struck with a congestion of the brain. the consequence, it is sa,d, of an affection of the heart, and died in a few minutes. The Princes were deeply afflicted, and immediately dismissed the troops. The officer thus so suddenly taken out of lifer was President of the Cavalry Committee, Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, and Peer of France.

THUNDER STORMS.—Vierlent storms have visited Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, and materially injured the cornfields, turnip-fields, and orchards : at Bewdley and Pershore, great losses have been sustained. The thunder and deluge in many parts of this county was violent, but less injurious than in other surrounding counties; but we have heard that a mower was killed by lightning at Cherrington, near Newport. At Wroxeter, near this town, considerable injury has been sustained; the lightning shivered one of the sails of Charlton windmill, killed a sheep at Withington, destroyed a field of turnips of Mr. Careswell, at Eyton, and the deluge in his house was nearly three feet deep. —Shrewsbury Chronicle. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JULY 11. The supply of Wheat is good ; of other Grain short Mir this day's market. Wheat is Is. per quarter dearer than last Friday, but millers pay the advance with great reluctance. No alteration to notice in the value of spring Corn. THE. 11EATHERAN1) THE CROPS.—A good deal of hay was secured •n Friday and Saturday, and on Monday and Tuesday last, but since that time we have not had a hay day, though there is now a good deal of grass cut, and the period for the height of the hay harvest in Yorkshire and the neighbouring coun ties has arrived. The corn crops and the root crops are doing well, but we seem doomed to have a late, though we trust an abundant harvest. The tendency in the price of grain is upwards. Last week it advanced 3s. the imperial quarter in the Wakefield market, and yesterday there was a further advance of IL—Leeds paper. On Friday, Mr. Bedford held an inquest at tFe Pine Apple, Hungerford.market, as to the death of Thomas Chandler, jun., son of Mr. Chandler, of the Swan at Millbank. It appeased by the evidence of two men named Tomlinson and Brown, that on Tuesday afternoon they went out with a barge of rubbish from the House of Lords, but it was so over-laden that it took in water as soon as they got into the stream. As soen as they reached Dalton's.roads the barge touched and shipped several tons of water—in fact, the barge was stoking. The deceased was on his father's pier, and sexing the danger, put off' in a boat, with two other young men to their assistance. The deceased got on board, but Tomlinson and Brown, seeing the danger, jumped overboard, and were picked up by boats. The deceased was seen on board as she was sinking, and hie body was picked up on Thursday. The witnesses stated positively that barges were con. stantly overloaded by Allen, the foreman to Me , srr. Griisell and Poo at toe Houses of Parliament, and that they had repeatedly told him their lives were in danger. This was the fourth boat that had been sunk by overloading, and had eight or ten tons more than she ought, but Allen himself measured her. The jury, after some deliberation, returned a verdict that " the deceased was accidentally drownel by the sinking of a barge by being overladen, and to which he had gone to render assistance; and the jury cantor separate without expressing their strong ciisapprobation at the rt ekiessness of Mr. Allen in causing the barges to be so over laden." It seemed there was ►olon pecuniary advantage in exces sively leatinig the barges.

John Houghton, a cah-drier, eves placed at the bar, before Mr. CoTTINGHAM. charged with assaulting and robbing Richard Weston of two sovereigns and a half, on Wa.erloo-bridge. The complainant stated that he is a compositor, in the employment of Messrs. Hansard, the Parliamentary printers, and that as he was returning home that morn ing ab 'lit two o'cloelt, in passing over Waterloo-bridge, from the Strand, win n he arrived aho , .lt the centre, he Hai insu:ted by the pri-oner, who was walking in the contrary du.ection. The prisoner u,cd some insulting language ; and, durin g the alt. rcation, the other men came up. who seemed to be his asmiciates, and they kn .eked him (the eoli;plaimint) down. H. called out, and tw. , of the ne-n ran away ; but he s,iz -d the pri soner. and h Id him until a polic?man came up. and th..n gave him into custody, On finding h i . was robbed of two ..ey reigns and a half, which were taken tilt of the pocket ..1 his waistcoat. The prisoner said that the facts were, he left his cab on RIGHT AT LAST During the past week a decision was corn- to by the magistrates of Bow street police court, which is of some importance to licensed victuallers, and may be worth the attention of the various police magistrates. The facts are as follows :—For some time past the police of the F division (by the orders of Sandreek, until lately the stiperintendent) hive been in the habit summoning the landlords of various public- houses in the district, for permitting prostitutes to meet together in their. houses. Among other houses proceeded against were the Old Drury, the White Hart, &c., the landlords of which were on each occasion fined to a large amount. They invariably appealed against the convictions at the ses sions, and almost in every instance succeeded in over throwing the decisions of the stipendiary magistrates. About a month since Mr. Smith, landlord of the White Hart, disposed of his business to a Mr. Moncrieff, who, after he had been in the house onl) four days, was sum moned for allowing prostitutes to assemble in his house, When the case came on before Mr. Jardine, Mr. Duncombe, the solicitor, drew the attention of the magistrate to the fact that " prostitutes," in the prop'r construction of the Act, were not within the denomination of notori ously bad characters, which had always been considered to be thieves and frequenters of flash houses. In conse quence of this statement, Mr. Jardine, taking also into consideration the short time Mr. Moncrieff had bees in possession of the house, agreee to suspend the summons for a month, in order that the police might see the manner in which the house should be conducted, and to see whether Mr. Moncrieff would still persist in carrying on his business in the same manner. Three days after, another summons was issued against Mr. Moncrieff for a similar offence. On that occasion, Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, attended for the defence. The Learned Counsel informed the magistrate, that a short time since he was present at the sessions, when Mr. Smith appealed against a conviction for a like offence. Mr. Montague Chambers on that occasion attended for the police commis sioners. and Mr. Bodkin for the appellant. The latter contended that the conviction ought to be quashed, on the ground that prostitutes were not included in the ca talogue of notoriously bad characters, and were not even mentioned In the licence, or the Act of Parliament 9 Geo. IV., cap. 61. They had quite as much right to obtain refreshment as any other persons. The Learned Counsel for the Commissioners concurred in this view of the case, as did also the Chairman ; and it was agreed by all that the appellant was entitle to have the con viction quashed, which was instantly done. Mr. Jardine said he was aware that no mention was made of prostitutes in the licences of publicans, nor had he been able to discover, until mentioned by the Learned Coun sel (Mr. Clarkson), on what grounds the numerous appeals had been quashed at the sessions. He would mak. , inquiries respecting them immediately, and if it was found to be the real reason he would alter his views of such charges for the future.—Mr. Clarkson said he would leave the ease in the hands of the Court, to be decided aceordinz to the precedenthe had mentioned,and ifaday was appointed for a re-hearing of the charge. On that day Mr. Duncombe appeared for the defendant, and the inspector on duty delivered a message from the Com missioners in Scotland-yard, to the effect that, in conse quence of the decision of the magistrates at sessions, they had thought it advisable to withdraw the sum monses, and the complaint was therefore di missed. IRELAND. INQUEST AT RAM IvHASSTG. The inquest was resumed on Monday morning. The at. tendance of magis•rates and gentry was not so large as on the previous days. A person named William Regan, who wit nessed the affray. was eumined. His statement was similar to that of the preceding witnesses. He declared that he saw no stones thrown before the commencement of the firing by the police. The proceedings were suddenly brought to a conclusion by the indisportion of one of the jurors ( Sit. Gillman ). The CORONER then •aid they should adjuurn, and suggested that it should he until after to-morrow. Mr. Scannell object,d to such a lengthened adjournment. Commxtt --Let the noctor be sworn as to hii illness. Dr. Tresilian, having been sworn, said he examined Mr. Gillman, and found him very nervous and faintish, and much in dread of his head, fearin g a p o pl e xy. H e wou ld no t be in a fit state to sit out the day. CORONER—CouId he attend to-morrow ?—There might be a possibility : but as he Will have to take medicine to-night, it might be very dangerous for him to attend to-morrow. The Court then adjourned until Wednesday at half-past nine o'clock. A party of the city constabulary, under the command of Mr. Inspector Walker, with constables Crowley and Burchill, are still quartered in the district. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.—The inquiry was resumed this day, at ten o'clock, but no new facts were elicited. THE IRISH PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Dustart, JULY B.—The General Assembly againmet on Monday in the Scotch Church, Capel-street, when a discussion arose upon a memorial from Belfast, which prayed for the abandonment of the Regium Donum. on account of the pass ing of, the Maynooth Bill. The memorial thus concluded : " That your memorialists, as members of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. most earnestly, but most affectionately and respectfully, pray your reverend body to consider the propriety of taking immediate steps to render the ministers of your com munion independent of all state endowment, your memorialists hereby declaring their determination to contribute, as in duty bound, according to the ability wherewith God may bless them, towards a fund for supplementing to all such ministers an ade quate support." JAMES GissoN, Esq., as a Commissioner on the part of the memorialists, supported the prayer The Rev. Dr. CARLILE, having left the chair, proceeded to address the meeting. He said that in taking his stand there no person could accuse him of showing favour towards Popery, for no one could be more impressed than he was with the withering and soul-destroying character of that heresy. Should they throw away 35,0001. a year because the Roman Catholics gained 30.0001.? Sir Robert Peel would say :—" Gentlemen, here is the money we require to endow Maynooth." There was another point too—if it was their duty as Christians to re sign the grant because Government had endowed Popery, they would be bound to call upon the Established Church to do the same What would the Roman Catholics like better ? How they would be delighted to take possession of what the Presby terans had so magnanimously relinquished ; and, besides, what was the alterative? He objected to the voluntary sys tem. He would not object to be supported by Christians, but to receive support from those who might be enemies to Christ, was more withering and blasting than to receive any payment from the hands of Government. The Rev. Dr. STEIS'AR T opposed the memorial, and con cluded 1)) , proposing resolutions in favour of the annual grant to Irish Presbyterians. After some discussion, the resolutions proposed by Dr. Stewart in favour of the continuance of the Regium Donum were adopted. PROCLAIMING THE DISTURBED DISTRICTS. It is stated in Saunders' News Letter that Lo rd tenant i. prepared to proclaim the disturbed parts of the coun ties of Leitrim, Roscommon, and Cavan, on receiving a reqm si'ion to that effect from the Lieutenants of the respective counties. The troops encamped have had every means taken to secure their comfort ; the tents have been supplied with .imber floor ing. rail- , d six inches or more tram the ground.

The other portion of the company is ordered to Weedon for a short period until an opportunity offers for their embarkation.

A MAN KILLED BY FALLING INTO A WELL.—On Monday afternoon, as Edward Letherland, plumber and glazier, Scotland.bridge, was repairing a pump in the yard of Mr. B. Scho. field, Cheetham-hill, he had the misfortune to fall to the bottom of the well, and his skull was severely fractured. Eight minutes elapsed before he was got out of the water, and he was then quite dead. The deceased was forty-two years of age, and has left a widow and two children.—Manchester Guardian. SERIOUS EFFECTS OP THE THUNDER STORM.- On Friday afternoon, the metropolis was visited with a heavy storm of thunder, lightning, and rain. Although pretty general, its effects appear to have been the most severe over Somers Town, Camden Town, and the northwest of the suburbs. In Somer- Town, after a tremendous peal of thunder, the electric fluid struck the corner of a newly-built house in Seymour street, carrying away a stack of chimneys, and the corner of the parapet, then taking an oblique direc tion, carrying away all the parts it touched, until it reached the coping of the wall. Near the spot two working men were sitting on a heap of bricks—one either sprung with affright some distance, or was hurled by the shock five or six yards. He was picked up by Mr. Silcock, who has opened a public.hmse, into which the poor fellow was conveyed, in a senseless state. The other was struck against a wall, against which he stood for some time im movable. A third man, who was driving pigs along the roast, was also struck down. The explosion was so tremendous that most of the inhabitants of that end of Seymour-street rushed out in alarm. CH-CKKT.--THE N ENV IiULES AND THE UMPIRES AT Loan s.—The subject of the altered rule with regard to the de livery of the ball, or rather the determination on the part of the committee of the Marylebone Club to enforce the old I Uth rule, as amended, in respect to the bowler being no-balled" if his Band shall be too high, has given rise to a general discussion. It would appear, too, that there was an indisposition amongst some of the umpires to carry out the particular rule, and, therefore, as the corn. mittee are anxious to avoid stultifying themselves by !means of their own umpires not acting strictly up to the laws of the game, they assembled in the at ernnoti of Motida, when they unanimously rti i,ed the following re-olut mu, :—" That in future the tuntores be appointed by the committee and paid sep,oate y from the sc,,itrs." ~ That no player belonging to Lord's ground h. permitted to play or stand as umpit e in any matt h in which the laws elf cricket, as laid down by the Marytehohe Cricket Club, are not strictly ad here,: to " --; _ v ' b.rrywobpulled in the garden of Mt. %A , •nt Slit 1 , .5. 44r kirk loch, which mehaured 4 3 4 by 4 oichcs This gigantic tierry lic , oi,gs to the class ot.Laticashire berries, know: iiy the name or the "companion," alio 16 not likely to be inittoticd, even in Duin- Ma-shire. —G lasgoto 4rgim.
