As -between states cultivating the same produce in a tropical clialuee, we have unfortunate proof that the use of slavery gives soinesiul vantages ; but as between states using . slavery in such climates, the practice of the slave -trade gives incomparably greater advantages. If, therefore, it is reproached to Great Britain that, upon commercial grounds, she wishes an end put to slavery every where (she gave noble proof twelve years ago of a higher mot ive)—it may be said—not in the way of reproach, but as a reason for trusting their sincerity—that all States which still use stare labour, but do not soil their hands with a slave trade, must upon commercial grounds de s sire an end put to the execrable traffic in human beings, be cause the slave buyers and slave butchers can always undersell them, as the slave butchers of Cuba and the Brazils do, in fact, undersell the United States planters and the French colonists, as well as the British colonists, Thus there is a gradation of interest happily enforcing the common duty, and tending to its ultimate accomplishment. The free-labour countries are deeply interested to put an end to slavery; the intermediate countries, which admit slave labour, have a still deeper interest in extinguishing the slave trade. When we see the first commercial nation on the face of the earth at 'the head of the aeries, and the next in order of wealth, in telligence, and commercial importance, occupying the inter mediate station, we cannot doubt of the result, even could we doubt of' the benignant purposes of Providence. For our own part we have never been able to understand why Spain, Portugal, and the Brazils, have not been compelled to termi nate the slave trade—compelled not by a desultory war of cruisers, but by bold lang uage, boldly spoken in their capitals, enforced, if nscessary, by the voice of artillery in their ports. We are no friends to interference with indepen dent States; but for interference in this matter, we have the justification of successive treaties all shamefully violated, and the authority of numerous precedents—Algiers in 1816, Greece in 1828, the Netherlands in 1831, and Spain and Portugal themselves from 1830 to 1838. Ques tionless it is more satisfactory to obtain the desired end as Lord Aberdeen is likely to obtain it, by mild and peaceful negotiation ; but it may be as well if all parties are reminded of the robust right which the humane and enlightened mains 011 have in reserve should negotiation fail. 1.1.114,4kR ASSIZES. 1 - 10 M& CI ,l'UlD.—lllaidstone, July 25. .CIVIL 7 SIDE.-=- 4 01Etfore Mr. Baron PARKE and a Spe . icial Jury.) . • cet.g. CON.-R.ING V. NUNN. -This wtis'an'tietion 'brought to recover compensation in dad es An' the seduction of the plaintiff's wife by the deremtio. Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Bovill were for the plain tiff; Mr. Platt, Mr. Sergeant Channel, and Mr. Peacock, appeared for the defendant. Sergeant SREE addressed the jury, and said he had the honour to appear for the plaintiff, who sought their assi s t ante to relieve himself from a load of shame and dis honour too great to be borne, and to which no man ought to submit. In form he asked them for damages for the seduction of his wife, but he would at the onset inform the'jury that damages were.not so much an - object as-that he might be enabled to found an application to the Legislature upon their verdict, to dissolve a con nexion which he felt, after what had occurred, could only henceforward be a source of misery and disgreee;• and that the friends of the plaintiff wooed be satisfied that it was not a frivolcus charge, and that he was well entitled to the relief he sought 'for. The Learned Counsel said he should now inform the jury of the cir cumstances under which - the action was ' brpught against the defend an t. The plaintiff had carried on, with his brother, a very extensive business, as a' wine-merchant and grocer, in the town of Abing• don, in Berkshire ; and he lived in that town in a posi tion of the highest respectability.. At the time of the marriage with his present wife he was about forty-eight years old, and a widower, his first wife ha v i ng di e d about ten years ago. He admitted that in his eon ! nexion with the lady now in question he had evinced some little indiscretion, but this could, not, in any way, be an excuse for the conduct of the defendant. Three years ago - the plaintiff betanie acquainted with the lady whom he now had the misfortune to call his wife. • She was the widow of a small tradesman at Birmingham,.-and her position .in society was certainly not equal to that of the .plaintiff: He, however, was struck with her beauty and manners. and after a short courtship, he proposed himself as hei husband, and was accepted. He was aware that • the connexion would not be a satisfactory one to his friends, and the marriage was th ere f ore solemnised in private, at All Souls' Church, Marylebone, no - one being -present hut - the clerk, and a young woman, a stranger to ,both parties, who were requestec't to for mally witness the Marriage. After it had taken place the plaintiff and his wife proceeded to Hampshire ; and in one short month, the film fell from the plaintiff's eves, and he found that Tie had been seduced by the beauty and accomplishments ,of the • lady to enter into a con nexirm, which it Wa - s impossible, from the-viohnt temper of the lady, could 'produce happinesS. Atthis time there was not the slightest imputation upon her chastity, but Mr. King found that his wife had such a violent temper, thatit was impossible for him to live with her. He was, however, stilt attached to her, and hoping that ie time he . might be able to renew the connexion, a deed of separation was drawn up, in which he agreed to allow his : wife 50/. per annum, but which deed at the same time-a!so contained a proviso, referring to the probability of their being together again, in which.case the annuity was to cease. After the separation, the .plaintiff returned to Abingdon and resumed the business which he had given up on his marriage taking place, and - very Soon afterwards he received information which induced him to believe that Off conduct of his wife was.not what it ought to be. and that an occur rence had taken place which would prevent him from ever again thinking of living with her, or treating. her us his wife. 'flee Learned Counsel then proceeded to say, that after. Mr. King hail returned to Abingdon, his wife went to live in Providence-row, New Kent-road, near which place the defendant carried on the busi ness of a cigar dealer, and he had also a coachmaking establishment in the Westminster-road. He should show that at this period they were intimate, but there was no proof of any. criminality. However, after this the intimacy increased, and he apprehended there would be very little doubt, after the evidence he should lay before them, that criminal intercourse did eventually take place between the wife of the p'aintiff and the defendant, who, he should inform then!, was a married man and had a family. He should show them that the defendant had engaged a public-house, called the Shades, mar the Corn Exchange for the plaintiffs wife, whom he represented to be a .widow, and acts of gross indecency would be proved to have taken place at that house, which could leave no doubt of the guilt of the parties. He should be also able to prove similar proceedings . in other place, and he felt satisfied the ju r y would say that the plaintiff was entitled to their verdict. The next ques tion would be that of the amount of damages, and al though he admitted it was not a case calling for heavy damages, yet he did expect substantial damages from the defendant, who, there could be no doubt, had in flicted grievous injury upon the plaintiff. Witnesses were called who fully confirmed the statement of Counsel. Mr. PLATT then addressed the jury, and observed that it was now his duty to make some observations to them on behalf of the defendant, who, he must say, was placed in that position under very extraordinary circumstances, His Learned Friend, in his address to them, evidently felt that he Was in a difficult position, and that he could not hope to raise much sympathy for his client, and it was pretty clear that the case would not admit of it. Did the jury ever. hear of such an extraordinary mar riage as the one that had been spoken to? The plain tiff first induced his wife to consent to a private mar riage, and then took her to the church, and had the marriage solemnised in the presence of the clerk and a woman, both of whom were perfect strangers to them ; and then, almost the very next fact in the case, was the deed of separation, about a month after wards. Why did not the plaintiff take his wife home to his own house, and treat her as his wife ? What expla nation had been given for his not doing so ? In general, in cases of this description, some evidence was given of the manner iu which the parties had Eyed together, but here all aas a blank, and the jury were left to form their own conclusions upon the subject ; and he submit ted that, for all that appeared to the contrary in the case, the marriage had never been consummated. The ;object of the present proceeding was evidently to enable the plaintiff to get rid of . his wife, and to cast her upon the world without any resources. after having lioleinnly made her his wife. The Learned Counsel. went on to say that it was amusing to see the terms of the declaration which charged the defendant with .seducing the wife of the. plaintiff, and depriving him of the comfort, society, and assistance of his wife, i but, in point of fact, he had never received any of' these enpyinents, He had certainly married her, but he did not take her home, or introduce her to his friends, or treat Ler as a wife ; and after a month ; h a d Aspsed, and his passion wa s p ro b a b ly gratified, die turned w off 1140 wirable pittance of 091 MOYEY illAlatET and CITY NEWS.

The. plaintiff was a man forty-eight years old, and that was surely a time of life when a man knew what he was about. He had married the lady deliberately, and now he sought to get rid of her, for that was clearly the only object of the present action. He turned her from him with a miserable pittance of 501.—not enough for her support, without any protector, and he had then no doubt caused her to be watched, in order to get up a case against her. He submitted that there was no evidence of adultery having been committed, and he said that the defendant was not proved to have done more /than almost any other man would for an un protected woman. If the jury should, however, think that there was sufficient evidence to justify them in finding a verdict for the plaintiff, he was quite sure that, under the circumstances, they would consider the lowest coin of the realm a sufficient compensation for the injury he bad received. Mr. Baron PARSE having summed up, The jury, after a short deliberation, fbund for the plaintiff—Damages, One Shilling. Friday. The business of this assize is nearly concluded. The special jury causes are nearly all tried, and there are only a few petty jury cases remaining to be disposed of. Mr. Baron Parke was occupied during nearly the whole of the day in trying a right of way case, the details of which were of no public interest. CROW NI SIDE.— (Before Mr. Baron GURNEY.) George Plummer, aged 50, was indicted, on Thursday, for the manslaughter of his wife, by having neglected to provide for her support, and causing her to be exposed to the inclemency of the weather without proper suste nance. There were several counts in the indictment, varying the form of the charge. It will be recollected that the prisoner was indicted at the Winter Assizes, 1843, but, from some cause or other, no one attended to prosecute, and the prisoner was, con sequently, discharged by proclamation. A bill was sub quently preferred against him, and he was now brought up to take his trial. Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution. The pri soner had no counsel. Mr. BODKIN, in stating the case to the jury, ex plained that by law a husband was bound to support and maintain his wife, and the charge against the prisoner was, that he had neglected to do so, and that, by means of that negle.:t, and the refusal of the prisoner to receive his wife at a time when she was in a destitute and almost dying state, he had caused her death, and was thus amen able to the present charge. The Learned Counsel went on to say that the prisoner had filled the situation of gardener t. a nobleman in the neighbourhood of Sidcup, and ha'i been separated from his wife for some time before her death, and had made her an allowance of half it-crown a week. She became, however, in a most des *tut,e and miserable condition, and was found by a no- Nman late at night, to whom she stated that shelad no home to go to. He took her to the prisoner's honest, and asked him to admit her, but, with offensive language, lie refused to do so, and the deceased very shortly afterwards died, and from the medical testimony there could be no doubt that her death was occasioned by her state of destitution and want of nourishment. The Learned Counsel went on to state that it would ap pear that shortly before the death of' the deceased, a me dical gentleman, who would be called before the jury, had given her a letter to take to the relieving office r of the district requiring him to give the deceased relief, but it would appear no attention was paid to the request. He (the Learned Counsel) had no hesitation in saying that if this letter had been received by the relieving officer, he had grossly neglected his duty in not attending to it. Every destitute person was entitled to relief, and if any, relieving officer, under such circumstances, neg Jested. to .perform the duty that devolved upon him, there :was very little doubt that he would be liable to have a charge of a similar nature to the present preferred against him. The Learned Counsel then called the fol lowing witnesses:— Hannah Riley deposed that she lived at Foot's Cray. and knew the prisbner and the deceased, his wife. The deceased died on the 23d November, 1843, and on tie., Sunday before her death she had asked witness to give her a lodging for the night. She remained in witness's house three or four days, and during that time she ap peared to be very ill. Thomas Mumford, an illegitimate child of the de ceased, previous to her marriage with the prisoner, de posed that he saw his mother on the 19th of November, s% hen .she appared very ill, and complained of great pain. Prisoner and his mother had not lived together for some time before this, and he used to allow her half-a-crown a-week, which she generally received on Sunday. and he believed she did so on the week previous to her death. Cross• examined by the prisoner —Witness was not aware of the reason of their being apart. Mary Anne Mumford, wife of the last witness, spoke to the miserable state of the deceased, a short time pre vious to her death. She also proved that the prisoner and his wife had been separated for four years, and that he used to allow her half-a-crown a week. Mr. T. Pritchard, surgeon, of Sidcup, deposed that he knew the deceased, and had noticed her particularly for several days before her death. On the 21st of November, two days before her death, she came to his surgery, and, at that time she appeared to be in a dying state, and he told her that she was not in a condition to be about, and, indeed, he considered that the was hardly fit to go away from his surgery.. He gave her a letter to the re lieving officer of the district, in which he described her condition, and requested him to relieve her. Shortly lifserAvards he heard she was dead, and, by direction of t4toroner, he made a post root tern examination of the 'ffceased. lie found the stomach and bowels perfectly empty, the liver was diseased, and there was also an ex tensive ulceration of the lower part of the body. . By the COURT—Witness had no doubt the death of the deceased was accelerated by the want of proper nourishment and clothing. William Earl, a police-constable stationed at Sidcup, deposed that, on the Wednesday previous to the death of the'deceased, he saw her, and had some conversation with her, during which she complained of the conduct of her husband. She appeared very ill at this time. and he persuaded her to go to the relieving-officer. He saw her again at eleven o'clock at night, and she was then very wet, and in a miserable state. She went towards the house where the prisoner lodged, and witness heard her ask him to let her in. Witness told the prisoner, who`was at the win dow; that his wife was in a miserable state, and asked him to let her in. The prisoner replied that he had no lodging for her. Witness told him that he was her husband, and ought to provide for her ; to which the prisoner replied that she was a nasty —, and he should not get up, or trouble himielf about her, and he then shut down the window. After this, witness took the deceased to the house of the prisoner's father, who al , o refused to receive her ; and he then offered to give Icer a shelter in the station-house, but the deceased , would not accept it, and walked away. About three o'clock the next morning he found her in an out-house, and she wa s then wet through, and very iil. Witness got some beer for her, which she drank, and he did not see her any more alive. Sarah Coomber deposed that at the time in question her husband kept the Black Horse, public house at Sideup. On the Thursday before the death of the deceased she came to witness's house and wished for a lodging. She appeared to be very ill, and in a most destitute condition. The prisoner was in the house at the time, and witness told him the state of his wife, when he replied that she wa, no wife of his, and had •r.ot been for many years. rShe aflowed the deceasedto remain in the house during the night, and she was put to bed. The next morning she was insensible and died shortly afterwards. A servant in the employ of-Airs. Coomber proved th a t she accomp a ni e d th e d ecease d to her bed-room, and she appeared so weak as to be hardly able to stand. Another witness deposed that a day or two before the death of the deceased she came to her house, and, seeing her miserable condition," she called to the prisoner. who was passing at the time, and asked him to take her away, when he.rephtsci, "Turn her out, I won't have her." Mr. Pritchard was re-called, and in answer t 3 ques tions put to him, he said, 'that' the deceased would no doubt have lived. for some time if proper care had been taken of her. Diarrhoea was the immediate cause of death, and he was of opinion;that.the death was hastened by her exposure to the weather on the . Wednesday night. 7 The'prisoner, in defence, said that he and the deceased • had mutually agrefd to separate, and he allowed her half a-crown a week, which was all he could afford. She had come to him several times in a most filthy condition, and it was impossible he could live with her. Mr. Baron GURNEY then addressed the jury, and said there could be nu doubt that in law a husband was bound to provide for and support his wife, and if, by neglecting to do so, he caused her death, he would subject him self to a charge of manslaughter. The present case, however, presented some peculiar features. It appeared that the parties had agreed to separate. and that the pri soner undertook to make his wife an allowance of half-a. crown a week, and there did not appear to be any procf that at the time the application was made to the pri • goner to admit his wife into his house on the night when the exposure to the weather was said to have caused her death, that he was at all aware she was in a dying con - di ti on. The Learned Judge then went through the evi dence, and left the case in the hands of the jury. After a short deliberation they returned a verdict of — Not Guilty. NORFOLK 'lRCUlT.—lpswich,july 24. The Courts both opened this morning at ten o'clock. In the Civil Court there were eleven common jury causes, all of ,which, with one exception, were disposed of, one way or another, in the course of the day. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WILLTAms.) ARSON.—Ann Mantling, aged 82, was indicted for having set fire to a dwelling-house in Wangford, on the 25th of June last, the property of James Rathen. Mr. Prendergast prosecuted, and Mr. Palmer defended the prisoner. From the statement of the prosecutor and others, it ap peared that the husband of the prisoner being in prison on some charge connected with the game-laws, left his wife and infant family in the occupation of his cottage in the deepest distress and want. In this state of things there was. as might be expected, great difficulty in her satisfying the rent due to the landlord, who found it necessary at length to put in a distress on the premises on the 10th of June, there being then 2/. 7s. 6d. due. While the distress was in, the prisoner seat for the prosecutor, and told him she should not suffer her things to stir before her husband came out of prison. The prosecutor said he had now no control over the matter, and the law must take its course • upon which she replied, " Yo u d—d old rascal ; before you ;hall have my things I will burn them in the middle of the room. and your d—d old house, too." In spite of this; the goods were sold on the 17th, with the exception of a few articles of wearing apparel. Though she afterwards asked the prosecutor to take as many of the things as would pay the rent, on the morning of the 25th the home Was found to be in flames, the fire having, originated evidently from the inside of the roof. An inquiry was set on foot, and the prisoner then denied having had any fire in the house on the day in question ; but she refused to show the officers where the fire had burst out. When before the ma gistrate, the prisoner made a statement to the effect that "as she was going into the union-bot}se on the following day, she had, on the morning of the 25th, put an old mat tress into the oven to burn ;" but several witnesses deposed to the total absence of any marks of fire having been seen in the oven. In the course of the inquiry to-day, it appeared that though the goods seized realised 2/. 195., the prosecutor only received 188. towards his rent, the great balance being all absorbed in the expense of the distress, a fact which seemed to excite great surprise on the mind of the Learned Judge. Mi. PALMER then addressed the jury on behalf of the pri soner, and called upon them to view the case with mercy and compassion, and contended that there was really no evi dence against his client bub the declarations proved against her, which were rather to be considered as the offspring of anger than of any determined intention to commit the out rage imputed to her. The Learned JUDGE then briefly recapitulated the chief points in the case to the jury, who, he said, were not to be swayed, while inquiring into the truth, by those moving topics to which the Learned Counsel had called their atten tion. If they saw any reasonable doubt of the prisoner's guilt on the evidence, they would give her the benefit of that doubt; but i Ithey did not, their duty was to find her guilty, -and leave any circumstances of mitigation or com passion which might exist to the consideration of the proper • tribunal. The jury then retired to consider their verdict, and ulti mately returned a verdict of Guilty, accompanied by a strong recommendation to mercy. Mr. Baron ALDERSON-4 quite agree with your verdict, gentlemen, in both its branches. The case is one which does call for mercy and compassion, and I will take the matter into my consideration before I pass sentence on the prisoner. David Clow, aged 40, was indicted for feloniously setting fire to a shop, the property of James Hafer, at Farnham, in this county on the 18th instant. Mr. Derent conducted the case for the' prosecution ; the prisoner was not represented by counsel. It appears that the prisone r , w h ose f am il y occupied the " town-house," near to the premises of the prosecutor, had recently taken upon himself to erect a straw hovel, or " lean to," against one side of the prosecutor's shop, in which lie used to pass the nights. On the night in question he was overheard to grumble to himself, " I'll be d—d if I don't go and burn down the whole set of them ; I'll set fire to the straw shed." This he said about twelve o'clock, as he was going towards the hovel. In a short time afterwards he went to the window of the "town-house," somewhat tipsy, and asked for a light for his candle. Having been accom modated with a light, he crossed the yard towards his bed room, and was there lost sight of. In about three •quarters of an hour the premises were discovered to be on fire, and the prisoner was seen hurrying out of the yard half-dressed, and with his clothes on fire. On this fact coming out, , Mr. Baron ALDEnsox inquired of the jury whether they were not satisfied that the fire originated in accident, not de sign? The man was "somewhat tipsy," and the fire did not break out for three-quarters of an hour after he went to bed. What more likely than that he fell asleep, and set fire to the bed and his own clothes too ? A juror said that he should think so too, but for the ex pression of the prisoner. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—I think that that is rather favour able than otherwise to the prisoner, as it was decidedly the conduct of a drunken man. However, if the jury wish it, the case shall go on. The jury then laid their heads together, and in a few mo ments said they were quite satisfied, and returned a verdict of—Not Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. A young man, named Walter Henry Austin, was brought before Sir John Key, in the custody of John Forrester, the officer, charged with having embezzled the difference between 851. 13s. /od. and 71. I Is. 9d., the pro perty agent. • of Mr. Robinson, merchant and Custom-house Mr. Walford, the solicitor to the Customs, attended, with Mr. Adolphus, for the Board of Customs ; and Mr. Chambers appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Chambers requested to be informed whether Mr. Robinson was the prosecutor, or whether the proceeding emanated from the Customs ? Mr. Robinspn said that he attended at the request of the Solicitor to the Customs. Mr. Robinson then stated that he carried on business at No. 12, Water-lane, in partnership with his sons. In the month of July, 1842, he received a letter of advice of the shipment of certain silks by the Batavier. from Rot terdam. The prisoner was at that time clerk in the establishment, and • it was his business.to make an entry and clear the goods. Witness bad, in .the prisoner's handwriting, a copy of the entry made of the silks, by which it appeared that 851. 13s. 10d. was necessary to be paid at the:Customs for duty on a case marked V. 13., 695. The cheque produced was in the handwriting of the prisoner, and was signed by a partner in the firm, and had been paid by the bankers. The witness, upon his cross-examination, stated that he acted in the case as a Custom-house went for Vanbrook an d S ons, an d th a t h e was asked- by the solicitor to the Customs to attend, in consequence of an examination of his books by the Custom-house authorities. Thomas Greenslade Whitmore, a clerk in the Custom. house, stated that the bill of sight produced stated that certain goods were entered, of which he (the prisoner) had no invoice, and upon that bill he got sight of the goods after the usual declaration had been administered to MM.. Mr. Willi* Wiilimot stated 'that in July, 1842, he was receiving the ground receipts at the Custom-house. The perfect entry paper now produced contained an entry 47/. Ils. 9d. upon which the prisoner obtained the goods, and the 71. 11s. 9d. was paid to witness's account. Mr. Henry Robinson stated that he was partner with his father. Ile signed the cheve produced. The body of the cheque was filed up in the prisoner's hand writing. Witness could not smear that he delivered the cheque to 'the prisoner. Mr. Chambers remonstrated against the proposition to commit the prisoner, who had, he declared, as ap peared from the docunvnts of the Custom-house, paid duties on the day specified amounting to every shilling of the sum he was charged with having embezzled. The Learned Counsel then, upon findi ng th a t t h e M ag i strate was determined to send the ease to a jury, applied to be permitted to put in bail for his client. Sir Joins KEY stated that he did not consider himself justified in taking bail in such a case, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. CLERKENWELL. Chad,: Henry Thomas, a young man of gentee. appearance, clerk to Messrs. Tennant and Harrison, No. 2, Gray's Inn-square, solicitors, was charged with steal ing a large quantity of silver plate, valuable books, &c., the property of Miss Elizabeth Grimes, a young lady, to whom it was stated Mr. Harrison was guardian. Thtepri soner refused to mention his residence. On Friday evening last, the prisoner offered in pawn,. for ten shillings, a silver toast rack, and some otherplate, at the pawnbroking establishment of Mr. K ng, in Holborn. He had previously pawned a pair of silver policeman, and Chapman, 38 E ., arr i ve d , w h o candlesticks there. The pawnb ro k er , suspect i ng hi m, sent for a knowing the prisoner to be a clerk to Messrs. Tennant and Harrison, at once took him into custody. On his person were found a splendidly bound edition of the Illus trated Bible, folio, in two volumes, a pair of silver snuffers and tray, and a toast rack. On th e Bibl e was engrave d the name of " Crow, who the prisoner said was his aunt, and lived in Gray's Inn-lame, to whom all the pro perty belonged. On their way thither the prisoner, after some further misstatements, owned that all the arti cles, as well as others which he had pawned elsewhere, belonged to Miss Grimes. He was accordingly taken to the station-house. • Milk Baker. the laundress the chambers, identified the toast rack, snuffers, and - - candlesticks, as Miss Grimes' property. Mrs. Crow was Miss Grimes' aunt. They hada:erne from Bristol in a ease, and were deposited in a room adj .ining the office in which the prisoner was, employed. The telescope was produced by Mr. Crochet, a pawnbroker, in Denatestreet, with whom the prisoner had pawned it. Mr. GitNENWOOD remanded the prisoner, having ex pressed his determination to send him for trial. BOW-S T 1? EE7. On Thursday, among the night charges, George O'Malley Irwin, an Irish barrister, was brought before Ilfr. Hall, at the instance of Mrs. Sarah Collier, the wife of a coffee-house keeper, 54, Holywell-street, Strand, for indecently assaulting her. The complainant stated, that about eight o'clock on Wed nesday evening, she was standing about three feet within her door with her apron to her face, when the defendant crossed the street and without uttering a word committed an assault, the . particulars of which were of too indecent a nature to de scribe. She immediately collared him, and the circumstance having drawn the attention of a neighbour, he called a con stable to whom the defendant was given into custody. He then made a laugh of the matter, and said he never was in the habit of assaulting women. In answer to the defendant, the complainant said she struck him on the head, feeling indignant. at his conduct, and she !night have trod upon his hat which fell off in the scuffle. The constable proved, that when he arrived the defendant was much excited, but quite sober ; and he did not deny having touched the complainant, though accidentally, with the stick he carried at the time. The complainant being recalled, said the act was com mitted by the defendant in the most deliberate manner with his hand, and she was standing at the time inside the threshold of her door. In answer to the charge, the defendant said, in his burry he 'could not say whether he touched the complainant with his hand or his cane, and as the act was purely unin tentional, he had only to express his regret it having given any offence. Mr. HAIL said it was not to be tolerated that a respectable married woman should suffer such a gross indignity while standing at her door, and the defendant should pay a penalty of 31., or be sent to prison for 21 days. The defendant was then removed from the bar, and in the course of the day hav ing paid the fine, he was discharged.

He had consulted several persons upon the subject, and their impression was that the highest penalty ought to be inflicted; but he would mitigate the fine to 3/., or imprisonment for three weeks. The defendant immediately paid the fine, and he was dis charged. Mr. Hogg repeated that he came forward on public grounds; and, as it would not be worth his while to bring an action against the Commissioners, he wished to know if the defendant would be allowed to remain in the force after such conduct? Mr. TWYFORD said he had no control over such matters, which rested entirely with the authorities at Scotland-yard. WORSHIP-STREET. Thnrhday George Craig, shopman in the service of Messrs. Butler, haberdashers, in High-street, Shoreditch, whose former examination, on the charge of obtaining money under false pretences, by uttering vouchers for the payment of small sums, denominated " premiums," and " shaving tickets," we published on Friday week, was again brought up before Mr. Bingham for final examination. The solicitor for the prosecution (Mr. Shepherd, we be lieve) then stated, that having been consulted by hi s c li en t, 1 Mr. Butler, who h a d placed the documents alleged to be forged in his hands, he did not think, upon examining them, that a sufficiently strong case could be grounded upon them to support an indictment against the prisoner, and lie had therefore felt called upon to advise his client not to proceed any further with the prosecution. No further evidence would consequently be offered, and he should now leave the case in the Magistrate's hands. Mr. BINGHAM said, if that was the case, the prisoner must be discharged, as none of the evidence as yet given had been supported by any confirmatory testimony, which it was in dispensable should be produced to carry the case any further. The prisoner was then discharged, and congratulated by . several respectable friends who were present. Another case arising out of this came before the Magis trate in the early part of the week, the %hort facts of which were as follows :—A labouring man named John Charlton was charged with exhibiting a printed placard opposite the shop of the prosecutor in the last case, and thereby causing a large crowd to assemb!e. Sir. Lloyd, the prosecutor's head shopman, stated that at half-past seven on Saturday evening, he saw a crowd of several hundred people congregated in front of his employers' shop, and, as the attention of everybody appeared to be di rected to their premises, he went to the door to ascertain tho cause of it, and saw the prisoner marching about the pave ment, bearing on his shoulder a pole, at the top of which was a large board, having on each side of it an equally large placard, on which were displayed, in fancy capital letters, two poetic lines, importing that any ladies who had been well " shaved"at that shop before, might be so again, if they chose, but that gentlemen who were so disposed must call next door. The instant the witness showed himself at the door he was received with such shouting and jeering by the mob, that unable to endure it, he was obliged to retire. Mr. Butler's brother, however, went out and spoke to the prisoner, desir ing that he would move away, or he should be obliged to give him into custody. The prisoner at first appeared willing to go ; but, as soon as he attempted to move, he was stopped' by several well-dressed men, who told him to stay where he was, and, whatever were the consequences, they would " stand the racket." The prisoner, therefore. obstinately maintained his position, and although spoken three times t o by a po li ceman, still refused to leave. At this moment a half-drunken costermonger rushed into the shop, and, after using some insulting observations to a lady who was seated at the counter, flung down one o f the noxious pl acar d s b e f ore her, and ran rapidly out again, loudly cheered as he came out by the crowd for the action. As the street was now rendered perfectly impassable, and it was impossible either that any other customers could enter the premises, or those already there could leave them with safety, however unwilling to do so, Mr. Butler was compelled to send for a constable and give the prisoner into his custody. Mr. Lloyd, in conclusion, stated, that as the publication of the proceedings in the case of the impeached shopman, Craig, had given rise to a great deal of comment by the public, which was greatly prejudicial to his employer, Mr. Butler, he wished to be allowed to give a short explanation, which Mr. Butler had requested him to make, relative to the practice of " shaving the ladies," as it was termed, and which was, in substance, that Mr. Butler being in the habit of purchasing bankrupts' stocks and other goods at a cheap rate, was accustomed to retail them at a price equally low, and that to encourage his shopmen in re commending goods somewhat out of season to customers, lie had consented that they should receive the same advantages as other shopmen employed in other houses did ; but this practice only extended to three or four descriptions of arti cles, and on those the allowance never exceeded 5 or 6 per cent. ; while the goods were sold at a greatly reduced price. He hoped this explanation would receive the same currency as the compulsory and imperfect explanation he had before given had received. Mr. BINGHA3I said he had nothing to do with this, and called upon the prisoner for his defence. The prisoner said he had been employed by a neighbour of the prosecutor to carry the placard, which he was told re lated to a hairdresser down a court adjoining, and' was in tended to draw custom to his shop; but he was certainly, he said, very much astonished at the amazing interest the pub lic appeared to take in the success of the barber. He only re ceived Is. for the job, and was sorry now he had had anything to do with it. Mr. BINGHAM told him he was liable to a fine of 403. un der the Police Act, but as he had acted under a misappre hension, and was evidently the tool of other parties, hi should discharge him on his recognisance not to offend that way again. UNION-HALL. William Etheridge, landlord of the White Horse Inn, Fann street, Aldersgate, was placed at the bar charged with steal ing a wooden frame and some wood letters, the alleged pro perty of George Jasling, landlord of the Cricketers, it Cam berwell. The complainant stated that he took the Cricketers from the prisoner, whose name in large wooden letters was over the front of the hpuse. The prisoner had on several occasions asked for the letters forming his name, which were refused, and at four o'clock that morning he brought some men with him, and proceeded to take down his name, when complain ant, hearing the noise, went out anti gave him into custody. Mr. Child, the solicitor, contended that there was not the slightest pretext for charging the defendant, a highly re , spectable man, with felony; that the wooden letters, corn posing his name, were not included in the inventory of the goods purchased by the complainant, when he took the Cricketers from the accused. Mr. TRAILL expressed his surprise that the accused should have been subjected to the indignity of being given into cus tody.on a charge for which there were not the slightest grounds. The Magistrate, having strongly deprecated the conduct of the complainant in making such a charge,' imme diately discharged Mr. Etheridge, who expressed his inten tion' of adopting proceedings against his accuser for false im prisohnient. CORONER'S INQUESTS. FATAL ACCIDENTS ON THE RIVER.—THREE LIVES LOST. —Late last night Mr. Higgs held an' inq ues t a t th e C oach and Horses, Flood-street, Westminster, on the body of John Thwaites, aged 18, who, with his father and a man named White, was drowned in the river on Sunday night last. Alfred M'Evoy, a lad residing in Haydon-court, Saint James's, said that, on Sunday afternoon last, the d ecease d , his father, a youth named While, another named Piston. whom witness did not know, and witness himself, engaged a four-oared cutter at Hangerford-market. They all got into the boat' and rowed with perfect safety to Richmond. When they were upon their return, and near Vauxhall bridge, three drunken men in a skiff endeavoured to over take .them. Upon - arriving off Chandler's yard, between Lambeth Palace and Westminster-bridge, it being then half past ten o'clock, and quite dark, witness saw a number of barges moored in the middle of the river, and directly in the course in which they were rowing. Just as they reached the barges, and under any circumstances they.could not, owing to the strength of the tide, have avoided coming in contact with them, the skiff which contained the three drunken men struck them at the stern, and the consequence was that the cutter ran its larboard side against one of the barges. By the force of the blow, the cutter was broken right across the middle ; but still held together, and witness caught hold of the barge, , and climbed-into it. He then caught hold of the arm of the boy,- whose name he did not know, and held him far aboat.twenty minutes, when assistance arrived. From the time that :witness got into the barge he did not see the deceased, his-father, nor White, and he believed that they were shaken out of the cutter by the force of the collision. Picton was borne away in the boat, which, notwithstanding the injury it had sustained,still . kept afloat, and was carried to Westminsterlbridge, where a Waterman saved him. Wit ness afterwards heard that one of the men in the skiff was drowned, a few minutes afterwards. eEeMds7Cinw°lthe Serpentine •' Richard Maryland, a waterman, said that he found the w bo h d e y re , of th e t deceasedh a e ceident hapopne happened.- - -Verdict, Wednesday,verdiet ,nAoteefiadr::firtooamuyl Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, Coombs. aged 23, OG 3 f I r. r D oN . :H oT T n g l 01:glrilcs:11 Clare-market, et s l i d a-rm S a e T 7 a A r i ok nlu t e h O w s e t:a ob t oTwtdhl o ß as dfr al j r:l av e ß mn y P under the following eirctunstances Charles Griffith, one of the Royal Humane Society's boat men, said he was on duty in the Serpentine on the morning of Wednesday last, when he heard a cry of " boat" raised from the north side. He rowed to the spot immediately, and then ascertained that a person had that moment sunk. With the aid of drags he found deceased com - pletely imbedded in the mud, and after three-quarters of an hour's hard woriting he got him out: His eyes and mouth were filled with mud. The spot were deceased sank was one of the most dangerous places on the river, there being about ten feet of water and eight feet of mud. Three out of every four persons who get In there are lost. Boards are placed near as a caution, in spite of which people will bathe there. James Bavfleld said deceased and himself went to bathe there on Wednesday morning. They had not been in the water more than ten minutes, when deceased sank. He said he did not see any caution-boards ; neither was he aware that the place was dangerous. Dr. Woolley said something ought to be done to prevent the public from bathing on the north side. On the opposite shore the Society's men were in constant readiness in case of accidents; besides, it was more safe. The whole of the north side was very dangerous, more especially that part just al luded to. That very afternoon, a gentleman on horseback led his horse to the side of the river, in order to water it, but the animal having taken a step too far, both man and beast were precipitated into the water. An extraordinary- pull of the rider turned the horse round, and they both escaped being drowned. Other evidence having been adduced, the jury returned a verdict of accidental death.
