LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT 65thT, Sept. 3. Upwards of three weeks has now elapsed since the last sitting of this Court, and the cause lists presented marked evidence of the diminution of business in this Court since Lord Brougham's new Act has come into operation. During an equal period previous to the passing of this Act the average number of causes was from 150 to 160, whilst now the number of persons seeking liberation under the head of town bail was only 20 ; under the head of country bail 23 names appeared ; and there were only three adjourned cases to be heard, making in all only 46 applicants; thus showing a falling off of nearly two-thirds. Tnz SPANISH LEGION.-IN RE CHARLES MORRIS KING, In this case the insolvent had been an agent to the Spanish Government to negotiate with respect to the claims of those unfortunate soldiers who had served in Spain during the late war :under General Evans. The greater number of the names which appeared in the schedule were those of persons who had, by right of ser vitude in the Spanish army, or on account of wounds, became entitled to pensions. Mr. CooKE supported the insolvent, w ho was opposed by Mr. Thomas and Mr. Symes on behalf of the body of the creditors. The grounds of opposition were, that the insolvent had in his capacity of agent, received several sums of money from the Spanish Government, on account of the pensions due to the various opposing creditors, and which moneys he appropriated to his own use. Owing to the negotiations going on with the English Government, respecting the demands of the officers and soldiers of the Spanish Legion and the Spanish Govern ment, the case was one of great intricacy, and the coun sel for the insolvent having stated to the Court that there •were negotiations now going on between the parties and the Government of this country, by which some arrange ments would be effected, The Learned COHNISSIONER considered that under the circumstances it would be better to adjourn the case for a time.--The case was accordingly adjourned to the 18th inst. IN RE SARAH CLAYWORTII. The insolvent was in custody at the suit of the op posing creditor, in whose favour a verdict for damages to the amount of 1501. had been returned against her for defamation: The insolvent now applied to be liberated on bail until her final hearing. The CIIIEF COMMISSIONER said, that in this case there were obvious grounds for a remand. In all such cases he disapproved of allowing the parties to go out on bail, and he should accordingly reject the present application. The insolvent, who, appeared to be an aged woman, was taken back to prison. IN BE JOHN . HILTON. This was an application for bail, and one of the sureties having described himself in the bail notice as a tobacco nist, upon his examination by the Court as to qualifica tion, acknowledged that he was also a bill discounter and money lender. Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS said it was a most er roneous description to calla person a tobacconist, who followed the sometimes rather doubtful vocation of a bill discounter and money-lender, and he should therefore reject the bail. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-ROUSE. George Hey, the young man who was, some days ago, examined upon a variety' of charges of embez zlement brought against him by Mr. Melville, of the House of Cruikshank, Melville, and Co., was brought up for re-examination, before Alderman Wood. The justice-room was crowded upon the occasion. Mr. Clarkson attended for the, prosecution, and the following additional partioilere brought forward : Mr. J. H. May, of No. 27, Little Britain, stated that he was acquainted with the prisoner about six months. The prisoner wanted to buy a violin, and witness consented to advance him cash for that pur pose, to the amount of 641: 195., in consequence of which the prisoner paid into his banker's two cheques, the one for 361. 95., dated the 26th of February, the other for 231. 10s., dated the 25th March, to his account. About the 234 of- April the prisoner bor rowed a further sum of eleven guineas ; and it further appeared, from witness's banker's-hook, that, on the 26th of that month, 11/.135. 6d:' had been paid into his account by the prisoner, without his knowledge, and on the 4th of May he received a letter from the prisoner, stating the fact. There still remained due from the prisoner .51., which he accounts for by stating that a friend of his had committed some irregularity as connected with a cheque for that sum, and witness considered that it would be hard if a young man of respectable character was to suffer in consequence of an irregularity of the kind. Mr. C. H. Sauerbry, of 106, Fenchurch-street, shipbroker, _stated that on the 4th o f J anuar y l as t h e received from the prisoner a cheque fur 751. 35., drawn by Messrs. Dumas and Wiley in favour of John Melville, Esq., and dated 30th December, 1843, and on the 13th of January he received a cheque by procuration, drawn by Messrs. Castellan and Co., for 171:13s. 10d. in favour of J. M e l v ill e and Co.- and on the 22d lanuary, he recei ve d a c h eque , dated the 6th of the same month, drawn by J. and J. Kinnard in favour of John Melville, Esq., for 17/. 1 ls. 7d.— making, altogether, the sum of. - 1101. Bs. sd. A per sOn, whom he understood to be the prisoner's relative, -was in his counting-house, and had been introduced by the prisoner to him twelve months ago. Witness became acquainted with the - fiiisoner at the counting house of Messrs. Gardner, Urquhart, and Co., and on the 4th of January witness's clerk brought him a letter from the prisoner, requesting to be accommo dated with a cheque for 301.,and another for 45/. 35., in lieu of the cheque for 151.. 3s. before alluded to. The prisoner, however, afterward s w i s h e d it t o b e re paid in smaller sums, as he might want it, and that was accordingly done. The witness accommodated the prisoner under the impression that he was going out of town, and derived no advantage at all from the transaction. Charles Henry Head, clerk to Mr. Sauerbry, stated that he knew the prisoner, wh o h a d b een i n th e h a bit of calling him cousin, but was not related to him. (Here he examined the letter in which the prisoner asked for the cheques, and inclosed the cheque for 751. 35.) That letter was - in the prisoner's hand -Writing. 'Witness believed he, paid the prisoner the amount from time to time. He knew that the balance of 51./. 16s. Bd. was paid to the prisoner by a . cheque of his employer. Mr. W. Walls said that neither of the cheques pro duced for 751. 35., for 171. 11S. 7d., or for 171. 13s. 10d., was ever brought to the private account of John Mel ville, Esq., or the firm of Cruikshank, Melville, and Co. Mr. L. Wiley stated that he, was in the firm of Dumas and Wiley, G rea t Winchester-street, insu rance-brokers. He drew a cheque for 75/. 35., in dis charge' of an underwriting balance due to Mr. John Melville, and he paid it to. Mr. Wyse, of the house o f Melville, Wy se , an d C o ., or t o the prisoner, crossing it, and adding " and Co." to it. Mr. John Breumber, clerk to Messrs. Castellan and - Sons, merchants, of Copthall•court, stated th a t be drew a cheq ue by procuration in favour of John Melville, Esq., in discharge of an underwriting ba ance for 171. 13s. 10d. Mr. E. S. Beddame stated, that in the insurance book kept by the prisoner, the. prisoner charged him self with 171. 11s. 7d. in his .own handwriting, from J. and S. Kinnard, and on the 29th of February there was an entry of 761..85. Id. received from Messrs. Dumas and Wylie. This witness identified 'the handwriting of the prison e r, in a letter produced by Mr. Clarkson, and also in a piece of paper containing a list of sums of money. The letter of the prisoner made a full acknowledgment of guilt, and represented that he had 'embezzled to the amount of 450/., but how he had got rid of the' money he could not tell, and what could - have induced him to take it would be impossible for him to explain. He had never been in the habit of going to theatres, and as he had no means of making up for the deficiency, he would' submit to punishment without murmuring. The prisoner was then remanded, and The ALDERMAN said he should commit him on Thursday next. CLE RKEN WE I, L. William Wright, dressed as a groom, was charged with numerous frauds on medical gentlemen. Mr. Al!sop, a surgeon, re:Sitfing in Sloane-square, Chelsea (being a Quaker), affirmed that on the even ing of the Bth ult. a person resembing the prisoner came into his shop and directed witness to send two pills and a black draught, together with change for half a sovereign, to 40, Cadogan-place ; the articles were accordi ng ly f orwar d e d t hi t h er, b ut i n h a lf an hour the messenger returned with a bad five shilling piece. _ .Joseph Philips, in the employment of Mr. Al!sop, swore that on the evening in question the prisoner met him near his master's residence, and having ob tained the medicine, piece, which he handed gave us master. his_ a bad five-shilling Mr. Henry Jenkinson, surgeon, 8, Barnsbury - place, deposed that between eight and nine o'clock the prisoner came into his shop_ and air. bane a black asked .e him i o n f 40, for draught and two pills to be sent o .. to C ano nbury-square.

Tlic prisoner said take care and send the change for a sovereign as-well, that you may be paid. The prisoner went away, but witness fol lowed, and seeing him in company with another sus picious-looking character with whom he was evi dently leagued, gave him into custody. John W. S Coward, a surgeon, living at 11, Mi nerva-terrace, Barnsbury Park, deposed that on the 24th ult. the prisoner ordered two pills, a black draught, and change for a sovereign to he sent to Mr. Jones's residence, No. 28, Barnsbury Park. The me - dicine and change were sent accordingly.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1844. adroitness of an old-hand, and denied having ever seen any of the parties before. Sergeant North prayed the, prisoner's remand in order that numerous other cases which had come to his knowledge might be brought against him. Mr. COOMBE ordered depositions for trial to be taken in the case, which were complete, but remanded him eventually. Inspector Billens, of the S division, came forward on Monday and stated to the Magistrate, that there was a charge of a very serious nature on the police sheet, respecting which he sought his Worship's advice. Mr. John Stephens Murphy, an Irish gentleman, be longing to a mercantile house in the City, and residing at No. 53, Spencer-street, Northampton square, was charged with causing the death of James Rogers, and injuring three other persons, viz. :—John Hill; Thomas Bignall, and Elizabeth Bignall, whose life is despaired of. Mr. COMBE asked where the prisoner was ? The Inspector stated that Mr. Murphy was lying at his own residence dangerously ill. From the statement of those who witnessed the transaction, and who were then in Court, the facts of the case appeared to be these :—The deceased, John James Rogers, was a carter in the employment of Mr. Upton, of Highgate, and lived in North-street, Highgate. Thomas and Elizabeth Bignall were aunt and uncle of the deceased, and John Hill his cousin. On the previous (Sunday) evening between eight and nine o'clock, the Bignalls and Hill, who lived in Hill street, Wellington-street, Blackfriars-road, had been visiting Mrs. .Rogers, wife of the decased, who has just been confined of her fifth child, and were return- ing home along the Holloway-road, when they saw a one-horse phaeton, in which - Mr. Murphy was coming down Holloway-hill at ftill speed; they endeavoured to avoid it, and ran towards the side of the road, but, the vehicle turned into that side of the road, and before they, could leave it came into collision with them. They were all knocked down. The deceased was caught in the springi and dragged into the road, and the wheels of the right side of the vehicle passed , over his head, producing a compound fracture of the skull. Elizabeth Bignall's arm was broken, and the wheel's passing over her breast, severe internal in juries were the consequence.' Thomas Bignall's col lar-bone was broken, and he was otherwise much in jured. Hill's wounds are not dangerous. At the moment of the collision, Mr. Murphy was thrown out of the vehicle. He was rendered insensible by the fall, and his head was dreadfully cut and contused. The vehicle was broken in several places. The suf ferers were conveyed to the Whittington and Cat, , Highgate, and Dr. Moger, of Highgate, was imme diately sent for. 'Upon his arrival, Rogers was found to be in a dying state, and he did not survive more than a few minutes. Mrs. Bignall was for a long time insensible, and it was feared would not live through the night. Everything was done for the un fortunate survivors. Mr. Murphy was in the course of the night removed to his own residence, where he lies under the care of Dr. Matthews. Bignall is toll collector on the Southwark-bridge. Certificates regarding the condition of the sufferers from the medical gentlemen were produced. They described the condition of the Bignalls as very dan gerous. Mr. COMBE inquired of Mr. Murphy was 'in cus tody ? The inspector replied, that he was under the surveillance of the police, and that he would be able to attend that Court on 'Wednesday next. Mr. COMBE said, he could not at present interfere. The police inspector must exercise his own discretion. Michael Brien was charged with cutting and wound ing Edmund James, a-young man of genteel appearance,' residing at No. 1, George's-street, King's Cross. The complainant deposed that on the previous morn ing, between nine and ten o'clock, he was returning home after a walk, when he saw the prisoner standing with two other men at the corner of Cumming-street, Pentonville ; when turning the corner the prisoner sud denly rushed upon him, knocked him down, and kicked him on the body with great violence ; the prisoner like wise kicked him in the face (there were several cuts on the young man's cheeks and forehead), he put up his - hand to ward off the kicks; but the prisoner kicked him on the arm, which was rendered powerless. The pri soner swore he would murder him. A- policeman- for tunately came up, and were it not for his timely arrival he believed the prisoner would have murdered him. A bricklayer, who chanced to be passing at the time, swore he never saw anything more brutal that the pri soner's treatment of the prosecutor. Witness called the policeman. It did not appear there was any reason whatever for the prisoner's conduct. The prisoner, who has been convicted of assaults at this Court more than twenty times, was sentenced by Mr. Combe to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for one month, in default of the payment of a fine. WORSHIP-STREET. Monday a middle-aged man of respectable appear ance, named Francis Crocker, was plaCed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with obtaining under false and fraudulent pretences the sum of 15s. and a gold wedding-ring from a young unmarried woman named Mary Judd, in the employment of Messrs. Bunyan and Co., wholesale_ seed merchants in the City-road. It will be unnecessary to repeat the unfortunate prosecutrix's statement, the substance of which has been already inserted in our paper, further than to say, that she was courted hy a tradesman named Abel, carrying on business near Aldermanbury, who, after fixing the day for the marriage, and presenting her with the wedding-ring, deserted her and married an other woman ; and the prosecutrix employed the pri soner, who represented himself as a solicitor, in prac tice at No. 4, Thatched-house-row, Lower-road, Islington, and Roll's-yard:Chancery-lane, to bring an action for breach of promise of marriage. In this character he obtained the sum of 15s. from her to pay for a writ he told her he had served Abel with, and then the wedding-ring as security for his costs. All this the prosecutrix having sworn to, the prisoner was taken into custody by Holland, one of tile warrant-officers, who went to his house yesterday morning and demanded the ring; the prisoner said a friend had it, but on being pressed acknowledged that he had pledged it, and on being brought to this Court and searched, a quantity of duplicates were found upon him, one of which was for the ring in question, together with a letter directed to the prosecutrix, couched in these terms :—" Mary Judd has this day deposited in my hands the gold wedding-ring enclosed, which I promise to return on payment of money advanced by me, and expenses in curred in prosecuting an action against Mr. Abel." On breaking this letter open and looking for " the ring enclosed" a base metal ring, bent into every imaginable shape, and not worth oven a farthing, tumbled out. , Frederick Fox, shoprnan to Messrs. Pickford and Co., pawnhroksrs in 01d-street, produced the prose cutrix's ring, which was pledged at their shop by the prisoner on the 13th ult. for 4s. The prisoner, in defence, denied that he had ever represented himself as a solicitor. He had been em ployed, he said, for 30 years in f:olicitors' offices, in one of which he had served as articled clerk. He was last at Mr. Abbott's in Chancery-lane, but left him in 1841, and had since then acted as reporter, and been employed by Mr. Gurney. He had been lately involved in difficulties, in consequence of living with a lady who was of such extravagant habits that she had completely ruined.him. He had intended to carry this business out for the prosecutrix, and had employed Mr. Hutson, a solicitor near Finsbury square, to transact it for him, but he was sorry to say that that gentleman had not done his duty by him. He had paid Mr. Hutson the 15s. in question, but had no proof, unfortunately, that he had done so. Holland said he had been to Mr. Hutson's offices, and seen that gentleman's clerk, who told him that the prisoner had certainly, been there to give instruc tions, as he said, for a writ to be issued, but he had not paid them a shilling, and, so far from their firm intending to carry the action on, they had told the prisoner that the letters sent to Miss Judd by Mr. Abel were not sufficient to support an action. Mr. BROUG lITON said he was clearly of opinion that the prisoner had obtained the property in ques tion by a false and fraudulent representation, and he had no hesitation whatever in committing him for trial, but would accept bail. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. Mrs. Elizabeth 'Jutland, the landlady of No. 20, Lum ber-court, Seven-dials, was charged with obstructing James Willis in the execution of his duty as an officer of the County Court, Kingsgaie-street, in making a dis tress upon the goods of William!Aldridge, a lodger in the defendant's house, for the sum of 1/. 25., the amount of a doctor's bill. The complainant stated that he made the seizure about seven o'clock last evening; - of a Dutch clock and other articles, in doing which he was violently obstructed by the defendant, and the clock was rescued from him. The defendant was in consequence - given into the custody of the police. The defendant said rent to the amount of 2/. 10s. was owing to her by Aldridge, and she thought she had the first claim upon the goods. Mr. HARI;WicK then referred to the Act of Parlia ment, the 7th Victoria, cap. 19, intituled " An Act to prevent obstruction to the Bailiffs of the Inferior Courts." By section 7 it is enacted, " that if any bailiff of any such Court shall be assaulted while in the execution of his duly, or if any rescue shall 'be made or attempted of any goods tak en or l ev i e d wi d er process of any such Court, the person o ff en di ng, on co n vict i on b efore any Justice of the Pea ce , shall be imprisoned with or without hard labour for any term not exceeding three calendar months, or shall forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding 51. with costs, at th e di scretion of such Justice, and snch sums in case of non-p ayment, shall be levied by distress and sale of the good 3 of the offender." Mr. HARDIN/ma said he bad no doubt the defendant had acted under the notion of• her priority of claim as landlady, which formerly existed, and he should there fore discharge her, but it ought to go forth to the public that any recurrence of this 'offence would subject the offender to very severe punishment. UNION-HALL. Caroline Smith was charged With creating a disturb ance in the Victoria Theatre on the preceding night. It appeared that on the preceding night the defend ant went ink) the gallery e( the ainve theatre, and had not been long there before she began to interrupt the performance, by hissing the actors as they appeared on the stage; Murray, the constable of the theatre, went up to the defendant, and requested she would desist, otherwise he would be compelled to put her out of the house. The moment, however, the de fendant was spoken to, she commenced a volley of abuse, declared her determination of hissing or applauding as she liked, and, in accordance with her avowal, began afresh to hiss, and created such an uproar that it was found necessary-to eject her from the gallery. This, however, was a feat which it was not so easy to accomplish, as she resisted with the utmost desperation, hitting out right and left, dealing her blows with all the dexterity of a first-rate pugilist. At length, however, the prisoner was carried down and lodged in the station-house. The defendant, a masculine woman, was fined 205., and in default committed. GRA-VESESD. . • EXTRAORDINARY FR AU DS.—Henry Kingsford, a respectably-dressed man, formerly carrying on busi ness as a miller at Northfleet, near Gravesend, was placed at the bar before Messrs. Staff, Oakes, and Spencer, borough magistrates, charged with obtain ing money under false pretences, by giving cheques on the banking-house of Messrs. Park and Co., of Old Broad-street, he at the time knowing them to be of no value. Mr. J. 11. Matthews, solicitor, of Gravesend, ap peared on behalf of the prosecution, and another pro fessional gentleman attended on the part of the pri soner. Mr. Matthews said that he appeared on behalf of Mr. C. Weed:fie - As, an inhabitant of Gravesend, who accused the prisoner at the bar with obtaining goods and money from him under false pre tences. He (Mr. Matthews) would not rely solely on that case, as he believed he was in a condi tion to prove that Mr. Kingsford was a regular trafficker in obtaining money under false pretences, and would therefore state the cases in the order as they occurred. The first case had reference to a bill drawn by a person named Stewart, described as a wine merchant, and accepted by the prisoner, for 341. This bill was dishonoured, no such person as Stewart being known: : The next case he should prove was, that the defendant called upon Mr. Parslow, a re spectable tradesman of the town of Gravesend, and bought a pair of trousers, which came to 1/. 75., and for which in payment he gave a cheque for 51.,drawn by John Stewart, upon Messrs. Park and Co., of Cushion-court, Broad-street, receiving the difference. This cheque was post-dated, being given on the 16th, and made payable on the 19th of August last. Mr. Parslow, when the day of payment arrived, received a note from the prisoner, requesting him to keep the cheque for a few days, as Stewart was not able to meet it. Mr. Parslow, however, in the course of business, paid it away, and on its being presented at the bank for payment, the answer was, "no effects." On the 21st of the same month, the prisoner called at Mr. C. Westbrook's, in High street, OrdveSend, purchased several silk handker chiefs, paying for them with a cheque for a similar amount drawn by the same John Stewart upon Messrs. Park and Co. Mr. Westbrook paid it into the Commercial Bank, and on the 22d it was re turned with the following addenda:—"Drawn with out authority." The prisoner was then applied to to return the money and the goods he had received, which he said he could not do. He further said that he had been deceived by Stewart, but that he must have money one way or another. He (Mr. Matthews) said the prisoner had been most systematic. The cheques were printed, and had every appearance of Mr. Stewart being a man of some importance ; but the fact of the prisioner knowing the bill to have been dishonoured showed that he had a guilty know ledge that when he gave the cheques they were of no value, Stewart having no effects in the bank. Mr. Parslow and Mr. Westbrook having fully proved the statement of Mr. Matthew& in every par ticular, that gentleman called several other witnesses, who proved that the bill drawn by Stewart and ac cepted by the defendant was made payable at Messrs. Loup and Co.'s, No. 6, Great St. Helen's, where, on its being presented, no such person as Stewart was known. Subsequently a , letter was received from Stewart, stating his reason for not taking up the bill was, that he had received no consideration from the prisoner for it. ,This the latter denied. The witnesses were cross-examined with much skill by the prisoner's solicitor, but without shaking their testimony. Mr. Matthews said there was another case against the prisoner ; he had paid away a cheque for 101. drawn by a person named Rooney, upon the bank of Sir C. Scott and Company, which got into the hands of a gentleman named Murray, residing in London, who, on presenting it fur payment, was informed that no such person was known there. He (Mr. Mat thews) was directed to apply to the prisoner concern ing it, when he referred him to Mr. Stewart, of Edmund-street, Gravesend. Mr. Nair, of the Commercial Bank, Gravesend, said he had a dishonoured bill at present in his pos session, drawn by John Stewart upon Mr. Ehnes, the surveyor of the port of London, and a cheque a few months since was presented, drawn by Stewart upon the Rev. Mr. Ball, no such person being known. The prisoner's solicitor having declined to say any thing in answer to the charge, Mr. Matthews contended that there was quite suf ficient under the Act 7th and Bth George IV., for the magistrates to semi the case for investigation before another tribunal. The question was, had goods and money been obtained by false pretences ? He con tended that he.had sufficiently proved they were, as Kingsford knew when he gave the cheques they were of no value, Stewart being in insolvent circumstances, and without .the means of paying. The Magistrates, after some consultation, com mitted the prisoner for trial, agreeing, however, to take bail for his appearance at Maidstone, himself in 1001. and two sureties in 501. each. GREENWICH. THREATENED MUTINY ON TILE ITIGn SEAS.--On Monday William Lazenby, Richard Robinson, James Matthews, Henry M . 'Milian, William Bowen, and Samuel Ward, seamen belonging to the barque Duke of Wellington, of 400 tons, John Delany, master, from St. John's, New Brunswick, were brought before Mr. Cottingham, who sat for Mr. Jeremy, charged with threatening to kill the captain with a handspike, and, further to throw him overboard, under the following circumstances : Captain Delany deposed that he shipped the pri soners for the voyage at St. John's, New Brunswick, from which port he sailed in July, and arrived in the Commercial Docks on Tuesday last. The ship was timber-laden, On the 29th July the men wer e t urne d up to relieve a Swatch at seven bells A.M. The pri soners refused to turn out. He spoke to them, and they made an excuse for so doing, saying that they had had no watch below the previous day. The next morning at seven bells he again called them to their duty, and they again refused. He called them aft, and told them that the ship's rules must be attended to. They told him he might do his best, and were very abusive. Witness said he must use other means and would shoot them if they continued in that muti nous state. In the evening they altered their tone, and said they would obey orders and rise at seven bells if called. They, however, continued to use very bad language during the voyage, and when at Dover, they abused him in presence of the chief mate, and had left the ship without leave since she had arrived. The threats used -by the prisoners against his life on the passage compelled him to seek the protection of the law—he feared to go to sea again with such a mutinous set, it having been communicated to him that his life was in danger. H© then called Wm. Smith, a seaman, who deposed that the pri soner M'Millan had said on the voyage that he would take a handspike and knock the captain down. This language was addressed to the other five prisoners, who cried out, " Aye, that's good, he is a b Irish captain." "Antillan told witness to shut the door at night, which would make it quite dark ; he would then knock him down with the handspike, and then he would heave the Irish Captain Delany over board if it was a dark night. They drew their knives every night, using threatening language at the time. Witness was much frightened. The ship was well victualled for the voyage—food without restriction was allowed, The discontent arose about being called at seven sells for next watch. Henry Thompson, another seaman, corroborated he" evidence of last witness. Andrew Donaldson, ship's carpenter, was called for the defence, and with much reluctance deposed that the prisoners did not refuse his (witness's)order. Mr. 1. Willard, the owner, was on board during the .passage, but was a good deal in his berth. Did not hear the captain complain of the prisoners. He had sailed with a much better crew, and a much worse one. Had heard the prisoners threaten the captain. Was busy at the time, arid did not recollect the worth—thinks they were not about his life. Mr. May said it had been proved by credible wit nesses that they had threatened to kill the captain and throw him overboard some dark night. Mr. COTTINGIIAM said, there vas no doubt that the language had been used by the prisoners, and that the captain was, therefore, entitled to the protection of the Court. If. however, they bad intended to put their threats into practice, they had had, no doubt, opportunities sufficient during the rest of the passage. Mr. May said, that similar threats had been made since the ship had been in port ; what would they do when she again put to sea? The prisoners denied the charge, and said that the vessel was leaky the second day after leaving St. John's. They were pumping her from six in the morning until eight at night, and that after crossing the Banks of Newfoundland she became nearly water lugged. They could not stand the work, and the captain had called out that if they did not come on deck he would blow their brains out. He had a pistol in his hand. They had been 48 hours at the pumps, and wanted rest; and when it was dry weather th were kept working at the rigging; and whether it wa wet or dry, they had no rest below, The second mate said that they had three hours' rest out of the 48 at the pump, during which the owner alone was below in his birth: Mr. CatiiNduAst said that the men ought to have had rest when the danger was past, which, perhaps, was the cause of discontent. Ile did not think they intended to carry their threats out. The captain, however, swears that his life is in danger, and cannot trust it in the hands of the prhioner:i i and he intist, therefore, direct that their further connection with the ship must cease here. He then told the prisoners that it was a very serious affair, and much to their loss and discredit as British seamen. The worthy Magistrate then recommended the master to pay theme thei wages up to the time, and discharge them. The prisoners, after entering into their recognizances to keep the peace towards the complainant and all her Majesty's subjects, were discharged. PAUTi'ER LUNACY IN THE COUNI'Y Or MIDDLESEX. The following " Report of the Committee ap pointed to inquire into the state of Pauper Lunatics in the county of Middlesex, and to report to the Court of Quarter Sessions .the best means of pro viding for the complete and efficient accommodation of such lunatics," has just been printed fur circulation amongst the county magistracy, &c.:— " In obedience to the directions of the Court, your Committee have investigated the state of pauper lunatics in this county, and beg leave to state, that notwithstanding there were in September last in the asylum at Ilan well 858 patients belonging to parishes in the county, and 127 county patients, the existing accommodation was by no means equal to the num bers requiring admission, as at that period there were no less than 444 persons whom it was found impossible to receive; of whom 204 were in licensed houses, fourteen residing with their friends, four boarded out in lodgings, and 222 in workhouses, notwithstanding the 45th section of the Poor-law Amendment Act, which enacts, that ' No• thing in this Act contained shall authorise the deten tion in any workhouse of any dangerous lunatic, in sane person, or idiot, for any longer period than four teen days ; and every person wilfully detaining in any workhouse any such lunatic, insane person, or idiot for more than fourteen days, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanour.' Your Committee find that at the date of these returns such was the want of accommodation in the county for the insane poor, that some parishes were under the necessity of sending patients to an asy lum at Peckham; the county, and all private asylums open for the reception of the insane poor in Middle sex, being full. From the Ist of January to the end of lareh in the present year 40 cases were refused ad mission at the asylum, so that there is in reality little chance of recent cases gaining admission at Hanwell; and hence, not only is the cure of a patient much pro tracted, but his ultimate recovery rendered more doubtful ; the patient thus frequently becomes a per manent, instead of a casual charge upon the parish. This, indeed, the records of the Ilanwell Asylum abundantly testify ; where timely assistance has been afforded, a speedy cure has been frequently effected; while, without such prompt attention, not only the patient, but his whole family, remain chargeable. " In making the above statements as to the want of existing accommodation, your Committee by no means wish to convey the impression that the afflict ing malady is increasing beyond the relative increase of population ; they only desire to impress upon the Court the fact that some hundreds of the insane poor are at this time deprived of the comfort and means of cure which the benevolence and liberality of the county afford in the establishment at Hanwell. " Your Committee forbear enlarging on this branch of their inquiry, and would conclude by stating it as their deliberate opinion, that additional accommoda tion for the pauper lunatics of the county is abso lutely necessary, and should forthwith be provided. " In order to ascertain the best means of effecting this desirable object, your Committee requested the opinion of the visiting justices of the Hanwell Asylum, and beg to subjoin their reply, to the main features of which your Committee desire to express their cordial agreement. They therefore, in conclusion, trust that authority will at once be given by the Court to se cure land for the intended building, in order that measures may be taken early in the ensuing year to provide for the complete and efficient accommodation of all the pauper lunatics of the county. " HENRY POWNALL, Chairman." REPLY OF THE VISITING JUSTICES OF THE HANWELL ASYLUM REFERRED TO IN THE ABOVE REPORT. " The question having been referred to the visiting justices as to how far it was practicable to afford ac commodation in the Asylum at Hanwell for all the pauper lunatics of the county, they beg to report that the present building contains very nearly a thousand patients, and that for the pnrpose of admitting this number the basement story was fitted up, which was not originally intended for patients, and in which it was not desirable that patients should have been placed, if it could have been avoided, without being subject to the far greater evils of remaining in workhouses and private asylums. In applying the basement to its present purpose, the visiting justices felt that they were meeting an exigency in the best way that they were able, without incurring any very great expense by additionsC to the present building. But experience has since taught that the appli cation of the basement story to sleeping apart ments for an increased number of patients presents some inconveniences, and that the desire to econo mise, and to afford pauper patients the benefit of superior comforts, and a more humane treatment, the whole establishment has become inconveniently large, so as to interfere with the proper subdivision and classification of the patients. So far, therefore, from there being accommodation for the remaining paupers of the county, it would be more desirable rather to relieve the present building from a portion of its numbers. "On consulting with the medical officers of the justices find that it would present building, either bb establishment, usnn a additionaldvi abie to ohsetaodvrdiys to visiting t g he by additional wings. They think, and the visiting justices concur with them in opinion, that for the purpose of classification and pro per ventilation, another building should be erected in the immediate vicinity of the present, calculated to hold at least 500 patients. This would properly accommo date all the patients of the county, would enable the officers to separate the incurable and violent from the curable and convalescent, and to secure that perfect ventilation which is so necessary to bodily health. By a more complete separation of the peaceable and the convalescent, many advantages of medical impor tance would be gained ; and, besides this, if the two establishments were in the immediate neigh bourhood of one another, there would be the eco nomical advantages of being supplied with gas from the same works, of having a dock common to both, and an abundance of excellent water from the same springs ; and though it would be necessary to have additional medical and other officers and attend ants, they might be con ven i en tl y p l ace d un der the control of the governor, and subject to the direction of one visiting physician. "The visiting justices think that this plan would be preferable to building another asylum at a distance from the present. For laying out of consideration the above mentioned advantages, which would be gained by having two asylums near one another, the inconveniences would be great if they were at any considerable dis tance. It would seriously interfere with the proper classification of the patients, nor could the different parishes ascertain, without considerable trouble and expense, to which asylum a patient might require to be sent. Endless difficulties and mistakes might arise, all of which would be obviated by having two asylums in the immediate neighbourhood of one another. "The visiting j us ti ces b eg to state in addition that they hav e reason to b e li eve t h a t a sufficient quantity of land s i mme di a t e l y a dj o i n ing the grounds of the a s yl um m i g h t b e purchase d a t a fair price, well adapt e d t o secure t h e a d van t a ges which the visiting justices have pointed out, " CHARLES AUGUSTUS TULK." „ A. SHOR T S TORY WIT H A monAt.—A young Yankee h a d f orme d an attachment for a daughter of a rich old farmer, and, after agreeing with his ” bonnie lassie," went to the old fellow to ask consent, and daring the ceremony, which was an awkward one for Jonathan, he whittled a wa y a t a s ti c k. The old man watched the movements of the knife, at the same time continued to talk upon th e p ros p ec t s o f his future son-in-law, as he supposed, until the stick dwindled down to nought. He then spoke as follows :—. You have fine property, you have steady habits, good enough looking, but you can t have, my daughter ! had you made something, no matter what, of the stick you whittled away, you could have had her ; as it is, you cannot. Your property will go as the stick did, little by little, until all is gone, and your family reduced to want. I have read your true character ; you have my answer." Jonathan conveyed g y, y the un happy news to his anxious fair one, who, after hearin the stor burst out - a cr ing, saying , " Why, s his eye at mo- 1 you tarnal fool you, why did'ilt you say you'd made a litter on't, if nothing more !

For Kentucky Leaf and Strips, the demand has been very steady, and prices remain the same. For Havannah Segars there has been very little doing. (From the London New Price Current of Sept. 3.) SUGAR.—Since Tuesday last there has been more activity in the Colonial Sugar Market, and importers have manifested more firmness. For West India a brisk demand has prevailed for every description for grocery and refining purposes, the rates paid are fully equal to those of this day week, and in some cases rather above for bright yellow sorts. This afternoon there was an increased desire manifested on the part of, grocers and refiners to purchase West India Sugar, and the rates paid were rather above those of Friday for bright yellow sorts ; all other kinds fully maintained the former currency. The total purchases reached 900 hhds, &c., including 152 hhds of Barbadoes, 72 hhds 18 trcs and 91 brls of St. Lucia at public sale the former, a footy parcel, however, went off flatly, and not above two-thirds sold at prices rather under those of the last auction, low yellow went at 56s to 56s 6d, mid 57s to 58s, good mid to good 58s 6d to 61s, and fine 63s to 645; the latter, however, went at full market rates, viz., good yellow at 58s to 58s 6d, good middling 57s 6d, mid 565, low 55s to 55s 6d, good brown 545, mid 53s to 53s 6d, and low dabs 48s 6d per cwt. BEFINED.—The low rates that prevail for Refined goods have induced the home trade to purchase largely, at 72s 6d to 73s for brown lumps, 73s 6d to 74s for stan dard lumps, 73s to 82s for tittlers, 73s 6d to 81s for Hambro' Loaves, 82s to 90s for double ditto, and 71s to 72s per cwt for wet lumps.
