One of the most brilliant—indeed, we may say, one of the most agreeable, and in every way unexceptionable— public balls given in the city for many years, took place last night in the Theatre Royal, under the management of the Agricultural Improvement Society. Among the company were the Earl of Leinster, the Marquis of Kildare, the Marquis of Downshire, Lord Castlemaine, Lord Crofton, the Chief Baron, Sir Percy Nugent, Mr. A. Lyle, Mr. J. L. Naper, Mr. E.

O'Connell, jun., &c. &c. THE QUEEN—THE CORPORATION. On Thursday there was a special meeting of the Cor poration, held for the purpose of adopting a congratula tory address to her Majesty on the birth of a Prince. The Lord Mayor presided. The address was adopted with much enthusiasm, and it was arranged that it should be forwarded to Sir James Graham, for presentation to her Majesty. A Privy Council sat in Dublin Castle on Thursday, his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, the Bishop of Meath and Kildare, the Master of the Rolls, the Chief Baron, and ex-Justice Moore were present. It was ordered that the Archbishops and Bishops now in town do prepare a form of prayer and thanksgiving to Almighty God for her Majesty's safe delivery of a Prince, and that such form of prayer and thanksgiving be used in all churches and chapels in Ireland, upon Sunday, the 18th of August instant, or the Sunday after the respec tive ministers of such churches and chapels shall receive the same. THE CROPS. The weather to-day is much more favourable, with an appearance of being settled. The reports from the coun try state that very little injury has been suffered by the grain crops, which promise an abundant yield. THE ARMY. The following changes in the stations of the cavalry regiments mentioned will take place in the month of Sep tember, viz. :-2d Dragoon Guards, from Bal!mooing to Longford ; 3d Dragoon Guards, from Dublin to Bailin eollig ; 4th Dragoon Guards from Longford to Cahir ; Bth Hussars from Dundalk to Dublin ; 10th Hussars from Cahir to Newbridge ; and 11th Hussars from Dub lin to Dundalk.

The following has been received by the foreman of the Cork city grand jury, in reply to the memorial addressed to Government by that body. " Dublin Castle, 10th August, 1844. " Sir,—With reference to the memorial of the grand jury of the city of Cork, dated the sth instant, I am directed by - the Lord Lieutenant to acquaint you, that as the expenses of the constabulary force in England are paid by the respective localities for the preservation of the peace inrivhich they are employed, while one half the expense of the Irish constabulary force is defrayed out of the consolidated fund, it is not likely that any proposi tion would be favourably received by Parliament, which would place upon the inhabitants of the empire at large the payment. of a larger share of the expenses of the constabulary force in Ireland, than they are at present charged with.-=-I have the honour to be, Sir, your obe dient servant, - " E. LUCAS. " F. B. Baarnish, Esq., J.P., Cork." NEW STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATE. A correspondent thus writes—" Yesterday (Thurs day) his Excellency Lord Heytesbury appointed Captain John Kelly, of Fairfield, county Galway, stipendiary magistrate, in the room of Mr. Rougham. Captain Kelly is a Roman Catholic." FASHIONABLE. —WC have already contradicted some extraordinary reports of Imperial deaths and births that were circulated by our unaccountable Contemporary, the Morning Herald, and we now observe that the Standard thinks it necessary to inform its readers that the paragraph which appeared in " some of its Morning Contemporaries," announcing the death of the Grand Duchess Alexandria of Russia, was quite premature. Now, our excellent " Contemporary " is occasionally in the habit of borrowing little trifling pieces of news *Om the Morning Post, and he is much too fast and loose in his method of business to dream of acknowledging his authority. Perhaps, in future, when disowning the fabrications of his " Morning Contemporaries," he will be kind enough to particularise the source of the false .hood. „We all are fallible ; but it really is quite enough to answer for our defaults, without taking the responsibi lity of those of the Morning Herald and Co.—Post. THE Bill* or A PRINCE AT WINDSOR CASTLE. —Various opirilona having been hazarded as to the Wperiod whe n th e l as t bi rt h o f a P r i nce took place at indsor (Henry the Sixth, who was born at the Castle, on the 6th of December, 1421, being generally supposed to have been the last) we are enabled, from an official document, to set all speculation on the subject at rest. It will be peiceived from the following verbatim copy of the registry of baptism at St. G eorge ' s Chapel,-Wind sor, that Prince Alfred, who died in 1782, within 'two years after his birth, was born at the royal residence at Windsor :—" Prince Alfred, son of his most gracious Majesty George the Third, and of her gracious Majesty Queen Charlotte, was born here in Windsor (in the Queen's Lodge, facing the principal entrance of the Great Court of Windsor Castle) the twenty-second day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundr(d and eighty, a few seconds after ten of the clock in the forenoon, and was privately bap tised by the Right Rev. Father in God Richard, Lord Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry." Prince Alfred and his brother Prince Octavius (who also died in his infancy, and . a few 'months after Prince Alfred), were interred in Westminster Abbey. As soon, however, as the royal cemetery at Windsor, beneath Cardinal Wolsey's Chapel, was completed, at the latter end of the reign of George III„ - the bodies of the Princes Alfred. and Octaiius Were removed from Westminster Abbe, and deposited in the royal mausoleum at St. George Chapel, within the , precincts of the royal residence at Windsor. The Princess Amelia , the youngest child of their Majesties George 111. and Queen Charlotte, was the fi rst of the royal family who was publicly interred beneath the royal tomb house, at Windsor, the funeral taking place in November, 1810. The remains of every one of the descendants of George 111. who have died since that period, with the exception of the Duke of Sussex, are deposited in the same place of sepulture. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—On Saturday, the 17th inst., by special license, at Barneston, the parish church of Newton .house, near Bedale, the seat of her Grace the Duchess Dowager of Cleveland, the Right Hon. the Earl of Mulgrave to Miss Laura Russell, the niece of her Grace. On the day previous to the mar marriage the different_ branches of the two families assembled at Newton-house, where they were entertained in splendid style, and the following sat down• to dinner with her Grace and the bride and bridegroom—viz., his Grace the Duke of Cleveland, the Nla . iquis and Mar- • ehioness of Normanby, the Hon. and Rev.

The following distinguished personages were pre sent at her Majesty's Theatre on Saturday evening:— His Royal Highness Prince William o f P russ i a, accom panied by his Excellency Chevalier Bunsen (Prussian Ambassador), the Earl and Countess of Westmoreland, Count von Konigsmark, Count Puckler, Baron Schlei- Ditz, Baron Thile, and Captain Mevnell, occupied her Majesty's box ; the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Duchess of Gloucester, their Serene Highnesses the Duke and Duchess Mecklenburgh Strelitz, Prince Ed ward of Saxe Weimar, the Princess of Baden, and Mar• quis of Douglas, occupied the Queen Dowager' s b ox; th e Prince and Princess Radzivil, the Duke and Duchess of Leinster,:Baron and Baroness Brunnow ' Countand Coun tess Seebach, Mdlle.

Dyce Sombre, whose very remarkable case was only a few days back the subject of discussion i n the ' Court of Chancery, - has a second time effected his escape from the persons appointed to look after him. His first escape was at Liverpool, shortly after the decision of a jury that lie was inc a p a bl e o f managing his affairs * H e proceeded to _France, from which he returned to dispute the validity of that decision by an appeal . to the Lord Chancellor. Lord Lyndhurst gave judgment against th e appeal. Since the arrival of Mr. Dyce Sombre in London, the verypr?pr precaution was taken of placing two or three me n , e r officers of' the Court of Chancery, or plainpolicemenin e clothes, t o keep watch on all his movements. These men lodg ed in She same house with him; and one of the m was always seen to follow him when he went abroad. It app ears that on Tuesday last Mr. Dyco Sombre l e f t hi s lodgings in the Haymarket, followed, as usual, by one of th ese men, and proceeded in the direction of Piccadilly. Near, if not in, the Burlington Arcade, he contrived to give his attendant the slip, and he has not since been heard of, although the most active measures have, doubtless, been taken to discover his retreat.—Obsercer. ST. ANN'S FANCY SALE.—The ladies who con ducted the St. Ann's fancy sale, on Tuesday and Wed nesday last, have announced that, owing to the very bad weather on those days, it is intended to recommence the sale on Monday (yesterday), and to continue it through the week, At the London Tavern, Bishopsgate• street, under the immediate direction of the Hon.

(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANONS.) D. ROSS'S BANKRUPTCY. The bankrupt in this case was a commission agent carrying on business in Love-lane, and to-day he applied for his certificate. lie was opposed on the ground that he had speculated and been extravagant in trade and personal expenditure, having at the time liabilities hanging over his head forll,ooo/.conneeted with a Scotch sequestration. The COURT considered the opposition justifiable, and a postponement of the bankrupt's certificate was made for one year and a half. T r ilLE SUN, LONDON, TITE_SDAY MORNING, AUGUST 20, 1644. prisoner, contended that it was a thoughtless act, and that the prisoner could not have anticipated what could have been the result. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of an assault. —Sentence deferred. James Brittain was indicted for stabbing Henry Cotteral, at IVigan, in March last. Mr. James conducted the prosecution. It appeared that the parties were related to each other, and resided in the same house at Wigan. On the night of the 13th of March a quarrel occurred between the prisoner and the prosecutor's father, in the course of which the prisoner struck the old man, who thereupon sent for the prosecutor, who was ab sent at the time. On his arrival he attacked the prisoner, who snatched up a large knife which was near, and inflicted a severe and dangerous wound on the prosecutor. He was shortly after taken into custody, and a knife which was found in the house, likely to have been used on the occasion, was found wet with blood. The prisoner appeared to be a poor untrained, half witted person. Guilty of a common assault.—Sentence deferred. Patrick 111‘Crea was indicted for wounding Daniel M'Avoy, at Rainhill, on the sth of August. Mr. J. Pollock conducted the prosecution. It appeared that on the evening of the offence the prosecutor, who is a labourer, was standing at his own door, when the ,prisoner came past. In con sequence of some old grievance they were not on good terms, and the prisoner began using very abusive language to the prosecutor. The prosecutor advised him to go home, and he went some distance, when he suddenly returned with a knife in his hand, and made an attack on the prosecutor, in which the latter was wounded severely on the temple, and one of his ears nearly severed from his head. The prisoner was shortly after apprehended, when he stated that he had been struck by the prosecutor, and that drink had been the cause of the quarrel. Guilty of an assault.---Sentence deferred. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice CassswlLL.) The first cause on the list was undefended. The next four were actions by Sir Oswald Mosley, the lord of the manor, and owner of the market of Man chester, against sundry butchers who persist in selling flesh meat in shops in their own houses instead of on the stalls of Sir Oswald in the public market, thereby avoiding the espionage of the inspec tors of the market and the payment of Sir Oswald's market tolls. Mr. Wortley, Mr. Brandt, and Mr. Denman ap- peared for the plaintiff; the several defendants ap peared in person. The proof was the same in each of the cases — namely, that plaintiff was the owner of the market, with the right to take tolls, and the selling by the defendants in places out of the market. In each case a verdict was returned for the plaintiff, with small damages. Similar actions have been frequently tried before for infringements of these market rights. COOKE V. lEDDILLION. This was an action to recover the price of 600 pieces of mousselin-de-laine, delivered by the plaintiff to the defendant. Mr. Martin and Mr. Crompton conducted the case of the plaintiff, and Mr. Watson and Mr. Atherton that of the defendant. _ _ _ It appeared that the plaintiff, who is a manufac turer, -had contracted to supply the defendant with a certain number of pieces of mousselin-de-laine, to be delivered within a certain time, to be paid for in cash, with a discount of 21 per cent. for the ready money. About 1,500 pieces were delivered and paid for ; but it was alleged that those now in question were not de livered in time, nor were of sufficiently good quality; yet the defendant, alleging that he was in immediate want of the goods to supply his customers, retained them, and, did not send them back. The cause occu pied the remainder of the day. A verdict was ulti mately returned for the plaintiff for 3301., being the full amount claimed, after deducting a discount of 2 per cent. Saturday, Aug. 17. DOE, DEM. BATEMAN AND ANOTHER, V. LEVER AND ANOTHER. This was an action of ejectment, to recover the possession of a warehouse between Crow-alley and Bank-street, facing Walker-street, in Manchester. Mr. Martin and Mr. Cowling conducted the case of the plaintiff. The defendant Lever and his wife and the other defendant ;(who said she was no more than their servant) appeared in person, and way was made for them on the floor of the court. It appeared from the evidence that the property had formerly belonged to a Mr. Clegg, who was one of the early and successful race of cotton-spinners, and who amassed a large fortune in that business . He purchased the property in 1787, and built the warehouse in question upon it. He died in 1818, having devised the property to the present plaintiffs, and Mr. Thomas Wilson, late of Highbury, near Islington, London, who having died about a year ago, the property vested in the plaintiffs, as trustees of Mr. Clegg's will. Last year the property was untenanted, and a lock was put on the warehouse door. The defendants broke off the lock, took pos session, and , barricadoed themselves in, pretendsng that they had a claim to the property, as the heirs of a Mr. Hamilton, who died some 70 years ago. The case was proved on the part of the plaintiff's, and the receipts of the rents :and profits of them for a series of years. During the case of the plaintiff only a few ques tions were asked, but on the defendant ;Lever being told that he might now address himself to the jury, said. his wife would state his case, Mr. Justice CRESSWELL said he could not allow that. If he appeared in person, he must speak for himself. He might have counsel if he chose to em ploy one, but his wife could not be counsel for him. The lady, however, armed with along paper, would not so be silenced, and proceeded in her harangue. The Judge for some time used his endeavour to in duce her to desist, but to no purpose, and it soon be came evident that tl.e shortest way was to let her have her say. The substance of her h a rangue was, that her husband was the real heir to the property, and that tii;. , y had been sold f or go ld. His Lounsure directed the jury to enter a verdict for the plaintiffs. This being done, lie proceeded to explain to the defendant Lever that he had no defence to the action, and that if there had been no other bar, the lapse of time since 1787 would effectually prevent him from defending the action. The lady again 'broke in, and it was only by di reeting the next cause to be called on that her ha rangue was put an end to. SANDFORD V. JACKSON. This was an action of trover to recover the value of a parrot and cage. Mr. Atherton appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Brandt for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff is a widow lady of a certain age. She had a brother who first owned the parrot, and she, it was alleged, purchased Poll and the cage of him for 51. 10s., a receipt for which sum was produced. It was admitted, however, that no money actually passed, the brother being at the time indebted to the plaintiff in a larger sum. Some time afterwards 'a sister of the plaintiff, who resided with her, fell ill, and could not bear the noise of the bird, on which account Poll and the cage was sent back to the brother's fur a while. The brother, then being in difficulties, said he feared if it remained in his house his creditors would take it, sent it to the de-; fondant's. The occasion of its removal being passed over, the plaintiff was desirous to reclaim her favourite bird, and sent to the defendant fur it, who refused to deliver it up, alleging that it belonged to the brother, and had passed to his assignees ; on which the pre sent action was brought. It had, however, been allowed to slumber, -and would no doubt have been dropped altogether, had not the defendant compelled the plaintiff to proceed with it ; the consequence of which was a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 51.105. CROWN SlDE.—(Before the Loan Cum. BARON.) Joseph Farrell was indicted for the manslaughter of Amelia Farrell, his wife, at Manchester, on the 31st of July laSt. Mr. F. Pollock conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Wilkins the defence. It appeared from the evidence, that on the day named in the indictment, which was a Sunday, the prisoner came home to his dinner at a later hour than usual, at which the deceased expressed her displea sure, and accused him of having been 'in the com pany of another woman, to whom she applied a variety of epithets current on such occasions. He assured her it was not so, and begged her not to use such language, especially in the presence of " Em ma," his daughter by a former wife, She, however, called him a liar, and continued her vituperations, when at length he was so much provoked that he threw some boiled potatoes at her, and as she still con tinued, he struck her with the back of his hand once on the eye, and 'once on the mouth. She did not fall immediately, but after a little time appeared to slip down besicle the wall, when it was found that her nos e was bleeding.' The child cried out, and some neigh bours ran in. The deceased said " This is hard usage," to which the p r i so ner replied, " Then you should have h e ld y our tongue." She walked with help to a neighbour's house, and the next day kept her bed, but so far recoved as to go about the house, complaining of giddiness in the head. On the 7th of August she got worse, and a medical man was sent for. She soon after died. On a post mortem ex amination it was discoved that there was considerable extravasation of blood on the left side of the brain, which at that time adhered to the skull, and appeared to be of several days' 'standing. It appeared on' cro ss - exam ination, that before the 31st of July she had complained of her head, and said she should not long survive her sister, who had died of apoplexy about a month before. Mr. Wir.xtris addressed the jury for the prisoner, and contended 4 that the death might have been caused by apoplexy,,and not by the blow from the prisoner. The .jury, after deliberating for some time, found the_prisoner Gnilty.- - -Sentence deferred. THE NEW INSOLVENCY LAW In the case of an insolvent named Holmes, the first under the new Act, his HoNoußgave it as his opinion that it would be better to employ an attorney than an agent. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. These sessions, the tenth of the present mayoralty, commenced yesterday, before the Recorder, Mr. Alder man Gibbs, Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Musgrove, Mr. Sheriff Moon, the Under-Sheriffs, &c. The present calendar contains the names of no less than 330 pri soners, and the probability is before the termination of the session, which is expected to last ten or fourteen days, that number will be increased by upwards of fifty more cases. Among the charges in the calendar are two for murder, one for murder by attempting to drown; horse stealing, two ; manslaughter, two ; rape, seven ; perjury, one. The grand jury having been empannelled and sworn, The RECORDER proceeded to deliver his charge to them. He said that the calendar contained no less than 330 cases for trial, and he was much afraid that that number would be considerably augmented before the grand jury concluded their labours. There were 111 cases of rather serious aspect, among those was a charge of child stealing, one of feloniously killing a horse, 49 cases of larceny from the person, 37 charges of larceny by servants, seven charges of rape, four of the commis sion of unnatural offences, a charge of attempting to mur der by drowning under peculiarly painful circumstances, seven charges of cutting and wounding, and four charges of murder. Notwithstanding, however, this very heavy list, there were but few of the cases, though of a most serious nature, that required any particular mention from him, as they did not involve any question of law, but were to be determined by the facts proved. He would, however, briefly advert to some of the cases. First, with regard to the case of child-stealing ; that was an offence under the 9th of George IV., chap. 41, sec. 31. In the present case it would be a question for the grand jury to consider for what purpose the child was stolen ; and he thought they would come to the opinion that the child had been stolen for the sake of its clothes, as they had been shown to have been pledged by the party. The charge of attempting to murder by drowning was of a most melancholy descrip tion. It was an attempt on the part of a mother to de stroy herself and her children on account of distress. It was said that the unfortunate object of the charge was not at the time of committing the act in a right state of mind. Now he (the Recorder) would not advise the grand jury to enter into the question of insanity or em barrass themselves by it, but if they found the fact clearly proved of the committal of the act, then to put the case into a train of inquiry before the petty jury. There was one charge of murder to which he would shortly advert, rnd that • was the case where the charge was one of murder by the administra tion of poison. He felt no doubt the grand jury would consider the case wholly unprejudiced by anything that had come to their knowledge, or any information that they hail derived through the daily press. The design and intention of the party accused was the great point for consideration, if it was clearly shown that the poison WAS placed where it had been with no evil intent, they would ignore the bill ; but if they entertained the least doubt on the subject, it would then become their duty to place the matter in a further state of investigation. With regard to the offence of killing a horse, it was right that he should tell them that it was no longer necessary, in order to convict a party of the offence, to establish that it was done with a malicious intent to the owner ; it was sufficient if it was proved that it was wantonly and wilfully done. The Learned Judge, after referring to some of the other cases in the calendar, remitted the grand jury to the performance of their duties. The COURT then proceeded to the swearing in of the petty jury. James Richard Downes, 23, clerk, was indicted for feloniously embezzling three several sums of 1/. Gs. 6d., GL 175., and 11. 6s. Gd, the moneys of Robert Saywell, his master. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. BALLANTINE, who appeared on behalf of the pri soner, urged, in mitigation of punishment, that the prisoner had, heretofore, borne a good character, and also stated that his master was desirous to recommend him to the merciful consideration of the Court. Mr. Saywell, in answer to inquiries from the Court, said he was desirous to recommend the prisoner to the mercy of the Court, but he was at the same time. compelled to state that the sums mentioned in the in dictment were not mere isolated cases of embezzle - ment, but he had reason to believe that he had received other sums, to the amount of 1501., which he had appro priated to his own use. The prisoner was sentenced to be kept to hard labour for twelve calendar months. It is generally understood that the Judges who will be in attendance are Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Justice Erskine, and Mr. Justice Coleridge ; it is also stated that Belanoy will be tried on Friday, unless the grand jury ignore the bill. SUMMER ASSIZES. WESTERN CIRCUIT.--Devises, Aug. 16. Henry Hatter, William Box, and Adam Clemente, were indicted for assaulting James Wilson, putting him in fear, and stealing from his person four sove reigns and other moneys, his property. Mr. Ball appeared for the prosecution. It appeared that the prosecutor, who is a commer cial traveller from Thames-street, was driving his gig between nine and ten o'clock on the night of the 2d of May, on the road between Calne and Devizes. When he arrived at a place called Bromham-cross, he saw three men in the road ; one of them was in the centre. Upon coming up to him that man seized the horse's bridle. Mr. Wilson told him to get out of the way, and at the same time lashed his horse. The man then held the horse more firmly. Mr. Wilson then lashed the man, when he received a severe blow on the shoulder, which was struck by a man behind with a bludgeon. Mr. Wilson then took out his life preserver, and was getting out of the gig, when he was struck a blow on the head, which stunned him, so that he could not tell what occurred afterwards. When he came to himself he found he was standing against his gig, bleeding profusely from his head. His purse had been taken ; it contained fitUr sove reigns, a crooked half-sovereign and a De* one, and a crooked sixpence with two letters _on"- it. He got into his . gig and drove towards Devizes. He over took a cart with two men in it, and; one of the men accompanied him to Devizes. The prisoners were the men who stopped him. A surgeon was then sent for, and he stated that Mr. Wilson had received severe wounds on his head and shoulder; the - wounds were very dangerous. The next morning Hatter told a relation what they had done the previous night. The prisoners were taken into custody, anti on Box and Clements were found the marked moneys. • They were seen together on the 2d of May and on the following day, and the prosecutor swore most poiftively to them, and described their dress. The jury found all the prisoners Giiilty.—Judg ment of death recorded. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, Aug. 16. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before lerd Chief Justice TINDAL.) NEWTON V. HOLFORD AND OTHERS. This was an action of trespass, brought by Mr. Augustus Newton, barrister-at-law, against the late High-Sheriff of this county, and four other defendants, officers and assistants of the sheriff, for breaking and entering the house of the plaintiff, injuring the locks of the.doors, and beating the sons of the plaintiff. The defendant paid 2/. into court, and pleaded that the plaintiff had not sustained any further damage.. The plaintiff appeared in person to conduct his own case; Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. Greases repre sented the defendants. The action arose out of a proceeding which has already formed the groundwork of two trials, one of which (a civil action) took place at the last Middlesex sittings in the Court of Common Pleas at Westminster, and the other (an indictment for perjury) at the last Worcester assizes. It will be necessary, therefore, in order to make a report of the present case intelligible, to go a little farther back than the sth of July, 1843, when the_ trespass now in question was committed. The plaintiff having become indebted to , - a wine merchant in the amount of 121., was served with a copy of , a writ, and consented to a judge's order to enter up, judgment, which was accordingly entered up, and a writ of ca. sa. was issued thereon. An officer of the sheriff of the city of Gloucester arrested the , plaintiff by virtue of that writ while lie was. attending the Midsummer Quarter Ses sions, last year at Gloucester, in his professional capacity, and the plaintiff claimed the protec tion of the Court. Mr. Sergeant Ludlow, who pre sided, declined to make any positive order on the subject, but suggested an arrangement, by the terms of which the plaintiff was to be at liberty to pursue his professional avocations during the continuance of the sessions, the plaintiff on his part undertaking not to take any advantage of the first arrest. A few days after the'muarter sessions had concluded, the writ of ca. sa. was placed in the hands of George Wilson, a special bailiff nominated for the purpose, and he pro ceeded, accompanied by Holtham, Turner, and Vines, the other defendants on the record, to the residence of the plaintiff at St. Paul's Cottage, Cheltenham. The bailiffs arrived there about a quarter to 12 o'clock in the da,y, and finding the garden-gate could not be opened from the outside, Wilson scaled the paling. The plaintiff's younger son, William Philip Newton, came up at the moment, and attempted to get over the paling at a different place, but the defendant Turner pulled him down by the leg into the road. Being, hoysever, young and active, the youth suc ceeded in getting over the paling before Wilson could accomplish the same feat, and immediately ran to his mother, Mrs. Newton, to acquaint her with what was taking place. He then ran back, and tried to set a large Newfoundland dog at Wilson, who being fore warned, was fore-armed, and presenting a pistol, threatening to blow out the dog's brains if it was not taken away. The lad, frightened out of his wits, ran away as fast as he could, and one of the servants shut up the dog in a stable. The defendant Wilson then got down into the garden, and opened the gate for Holtham, Turner, and Vines, who went with him to the front door, and endeavoured to obtain admit tance, which was refused. The bailiffs then retired for a short time under the shade of some trees, and finally effected an entrance by the back door, which, according to the plaintiff's case was burst open by the defendant Wilson. The bailiffs then entered, arrested the plaintiff; and took him off in a fly to Gloucester gaol. The plaintiff's eldest son, Francis Robert ,Newton, was pushed about a little by the defendants in getting through the passage, and the plaintiff brought two actions for what occurred, one of which, in which the cause of action alleged was false im prisonment, was tried lu the Common Pleas, and the plaintiff was fortunate enough to obtain 50/. damages. The other'action was that which was tried to-day, in which the gravamen of the plaintiff's complaint was, that his door had been broken, and his two sons ;4;0 been assaulted, by which he lost the benefit of their I service. Mr. Sergeant TALPOURD addressed the jury for the defendants, contending that the 403. which had been paid into court was an ample compensation for the injury which the plaintiff had sustained. The jury, being of the same opinion, found a ver dict for the defendants. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Sergeant AT• CHERLEY.) Richard Harris, aged 30, pleaded guilty to three several charges of burglary, and was sentenced to transportation for life. Considerable progress has been made with the calendar, owing, however, chiefly to the ignoring of bills by the grand jury, and the number of prisoners who pleaded guilty. Among the bills ignored are both the charges of child murder. Saturday, August 17. The business in the Nisi Prius Court to-day has been of a most uninteresting character. Upwards of seven houti were consumed by the trial of a case in which the - Inestion was, whether certain goods which had been seized by the assignees of a bankrupt were really the bankrupt's property or that of his brother, who had purchased them, as the plaintiff's case stood, under a bill of sale. The next action was one, which was in effect undefended, upon some bills of exchange ; and the third was an action of ejectment, where, the plaintiff haiing made out a prima facie case, a com plete legal answer to the action was made out by proof of a feofment and fine. This closed the day's pro ceedings at six o'clock. CRO WN COURT.—(Be fore Mr. Sergeant ATCHBRLEY.) Francis Augustus Cox, to person .very respectably connected, was iudicted for stealing, at Bristol, on the 15th of May last, a certain 'order for the payment of 29-1. 11s. , the_property of the Postmaster-General. Mr:Whiteley, Mr. Godson, and Mr. Bros, ap peared for the prosecution. 4 t Upon being arraigned, the prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge. Mr. Sergeant ATCHERLBY sentenced him to nine calendar months' imprisonment, with hard labour. CLERKENWELL SESSIONS. Mr. Sergeant ADAMS addressed the grand jury at great length, applying his remarks chiefly to the Bill passed in the late session of Parliament for the better administration of justice in the county of Middlesex. He alluded to the necessity for a new prison, in which the prisoners should be confined before trial. The P - 4 , - sent state of Newgate was disgraceful. He had recently paid a visit to it, and found it crowded with prisoners. In many cases there were fourteen confined in the same cell, and there being but one yard, little boys and persons who might be now imprisoned only for the first time were obliged to herd with the hardened profligate. There such a thing as classification was quite out of the question. The state of what was called the New Prison (which had been built in the reign of James I.) was like wise disgraceful. Some of the public prints bad inveighed against this Bill, on the ground of the excessive expense its provisions would entail on the county. But those who stated that must be either ignorant of the subject on which they treated, or wilfully misrepresented ii. The recent regulations would be, on the whole, beneficial to the ratepayers. The expense of building the new prison would be only 27,000/ ; money could be had at 4 per cent., and the payment of the debt could be ex tended over a period of thirty years ; in fact, a rate of one penny in the pound would suffice. It had been like wise insinuated by some of these journalists, that a com pact had been entered into with the magistrates for the purpose of extending the sy3tem of solitary confinement. That was altogether false, and it was only proper to set the public mind right on the subject. The C.oldbatli fields prison was at present also crowded, whilst West minster prison, which bad cost the county of Middlesex 160,000/, was almost empty ; and a Middlesex magis trate—such had been the absurdity up to the present time—had not the power to commit to it. The Bill would do away with this absurdity. He thought it would b e rather to the advant age of Westminster if no sessions were holden there. The Sessions Court there cost the county of Middlesex 700/. a year ; if all the business of the city of Westminster were transferred to Middle sex, there would be no need for this Court, and thus the expenditure would be saved to the county. The Learned Chairman next alluded to the practice of many police magistrates in committing the most trivial cases to the Central Criminal Court, instead of to these sessions, which were expressly designed for the trial of such cases. Many of the police magistrates committed, in the course of a short time, nearly 200 cases, the larcenies not being greater in amount than from Id. to Is. After some further observations, the Learned Gentleman concluded by explaining to the grand jury the nature of their duties and congratulating them on the new measure. EMIGRATION ON A GRAND SCALE.—It is rumoured that a large section of Calvinistic Methodists, 1,000 at least, from Carnarvon and Anglesey, are preparing to emigrate to the United States, with a view to forming a community on the banks of the Mississippi.—Liverpool Journal. SUICIDE FROM CONJUGAL DIFFERENCES.—An in quest was held at Guy's Hospital on Saturday, before' Mr. J. Payne, on the body of George Revell, aged 45. Richard Hill, a police-constable, said that on the 2d inst. he was on duty in Rotherhithe•street, when he heard that a man had committed suicide at No. 202 in that street. He went there and found the deceased in bed with his throat cut, and upon looking about the room he found the razor with whic h the wound had been in fl i c t e d. He asked deceased what was the matter, and deceased answered, " I have murdered myself ; I did it because my wife ran away from me." Witness sent for a surgeon to dress the wound, and then took him to the hospital. 'William Revell, aged fourteen, said that his mother ran away about a week before his father at tempted his life. Deceased was much affected at the loss of his wife, but when she heard what had happened she returned and saw him in the hospital. He was then dying. Mr. Seeley, the house surgeon, said that de ceased died from the effects of the wound in the throat on Saturday morning. Verdict, " Temporary insanity."

Edward Maylett was indicted for the manslaughtel of Thomas O'Donnell at Manchester, on the 23d, of July last. Mr. Monk conducted the prosecution, ancl, Mr. Wilkins the defence. It appeared that the prisoner was a boatman on the Rochiale canal, and on the morning of the 23d of ► July last, was conducting a boat to the Piccadilly wharf, in Manchester. The boat was i❑ the empty lock, and the prisoner had raised the sluice for the purpose of letting the Water in. The deceased, who was a boy, had been bathing, and on coming out of the water was crossing the lock-gates, at the end of which the prisoner was Standing, for the purpose of getting his clothes, which were on the other side. The prisoner, as if ini sport, caught at him as he passed, and the poor "boy slipped into the full lock, and was drawn down by the current, and did not rise again. For awhile the prisoner seemed stupified, but some boys shouting that he had murdered the lad, he jumped into the boat, and began searching for the body with the boat-hook. Not finding it, he closed the sluice•and let the water out, when he succeeded in getting the body out, after it had been submerged about ten minutes, but life was quite extinct. Mr. WtmuNs addressed the jury, who returned a verdict of Not Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) BOTV-STREET. Yesterday afternoon Michael Read, and Jane Fur pley were brought before Mr. Hall, charged with cruelly cutting and stabbing James &Flaherty with a pair of scissors. _ _ The occurrence took place on Saturday night in the lodgings of the wounded man, to which the two prisoners went ; and he was so badly injured as to be immediately removed to King's College Hospital. Being unable to appear, Mr. Hall sent a messenger for Mr. Twyford, who proceeded with the second clerk, Mr. Bowstead, to. the hospital, to take the de positions of the wounded man. The statement of .011aherty was, that he was sit ting, on Saturday night, in his house, when the two prisoners entered, and after they had sat for some time drinking together, the male prism*: wished the female to go away with him, which she refused, whereupon he struck her. The wounded man inter fered, and was immediately struck by Read, whom he immediately collared, struggled with, and fell. While down Read seized a pair of button-hole scis sors, with which he inflicted many deep and desperate wounds in all parts of O'Flaherty's person. When separated the prosecutor was nearly dead from loss of blood ; And on being removed to the hospital, was found to be wounded most severely. The prisoner was remanded till the improved state of the prosecutor's health permitted his appearance. Patrick Larkin was brought up for final examina tion, charged with stealing several letters from the Post-office. The facts of the case appeared ,in The Sun last week. The prisoner said nothing in his de fence, and was fully committed for trial. Four boys, each about seventeen years of age, named James Buchthorpe, John Buckthorpe, James Bell, and . John Reche, were brought up, in custody of the Thames police, charged with unlawfully discharging a double• barrelled fowling-piece, and two pistols, on the river Thames, to the great danger of passengers. Inspector Lewis, of the Thames-police, stated that at about six o'clock on Sunday morning, the prisoners were in a boat above Waterloo-bridge, on the Middlesex side. He heard the report of fire-arms, and he saw smoke issuing from the boat occupied by the prisoner. He went up to the boat, and be saw the prisoners in the act of loading a double barrelled fowling-piece and the pis tols, and they were about to fire at a cat that was in the water. He asked them what they were doing, and they said they had caught a stray cat, and were going to kill it. He then took the fire-arms from them, and conveyed the prisoners to the station-house. The prisoners, in their defence, said they were not aware that they were committing any offence in firing a gun on the river, as they had seen others do so. Mr. HALL said they were each liable to a tine of 405., or one month's imprisonment. James Buckthorpe must be fined 205., or be committed for eight days ; and the others must be fined 10s. each, or six days imprison ment.- 7 -The fines were paid. GUILDHALL. A very respectable female, who gave her name Mrs. Morgan, was placed before Mr. Alderman Challis on a charge of stealing a silver watch guard, the property of the complainant, Morrison, baker, King-street, Snow hill: Mrs. Morgan was accommodated with a seat at the bar. Mr. Woolfe appeared on her behalf. The circumstances under which she was charged had their origin in what is generally termed " a row." The complainant, Morrison, keeps chickens, which are voted by , the neighbours, among others the prisoner, as a nuisance, and means were adopted to abate it by destroy ing them. Yesterday the complainant discovered the pri soner chasing them off her premises with stones, and he went up and kicked her; she struggled with him and pulled his guard off and threw it into the fire. In the quarrel she received' a: black eye. Her husband's eye was similarly blackened. Alderman CHALLIS, in consideration of the violence used towards the female in the first instance, discharged her, and refused to grant it summons applied for by Mr. Morgan, thus making the loss of the chain stand as a set off for the couple of black eyes given by the choleric baker. Mr. Morgan expressed his determination of taking the case before the sessions. QUEEN-SQUARE. Alm Merry, a respectably-dressed young man, w h o was stated to be a gardener, was placed at the bar before Mr. Burrell, charged with stealing from the mansion of Viscount Dillon, M.P., in Curzon-street, two silver spoons. It appeared that, the prisoner, who until lately had been in the service of Mr. Tuck, florist and coal merchant, Pimlico, had in his occupation as gardner frequently to attend at the houses of the nobility and gentry, and as he was to all appearance a religious youngman, he was not suspected of having committed any theft until lately, when he was discharged by Mr. Tuck. He was in the habit of coming to Viscount Dillon's premises about twice a week for the purpose of attend ing to the flowers in the conservatory. On Thursday last a breakfast was given by his Lordship previous to his leaving town, and in the hurry the prisoner, who had been there as usual, had access to the pantry in which the plate was kept. The spoons were produced ; they were found in the prisoner a possession. Charles Ross, Viscount Dillon's steward, deposed to their being the property of his master. Mr. Tuck said he suspected the prisoner had commit ted many other petty larcenies in noblemen's houses, and that if he was remanded for some time he thought that several cases could be proved against him. The prisoner, who said nothing, was remanded for a fortnight. - UNION-HALL. Thomas Hurley was charged with committing a violent assault on Thomas Arnold and two females who were with Min at the time. The complainant stated that on the preceding after noon he was returning hoMe with two females from Ted dington, where they had "been fishing, when in pass ing, along the Borough iii fishing-rod by accident touched the defendant's head. The defendant, a pow erful man, immediately struck him in the mouth, and also assaulted the two women, and they-were all down on the ground together. He added that he gave the de fendant into custody. The defendant, liowever, gave a very different version of the affair, by declaring that his eye was nearly knocked out, owing to the Unskilful manner in which the complainant earned his rod. That he remonstrated with h►m on the subject, and was attacked by him and his two female companions, and was compelled to use his fists in his own defence. Mr. TRAILL inflicted a Rue of 20s. on the defendant, who was locked up in default. Thomas Power, a man in the employ of Messrs. Axtell and Co., tanners and furriers, in Church-street, South wark, was charged with robbing his employers. It appeared the prisoner , had been in the employ of the above firm for twelve months, at considerable wages. Of late, several ialuable skins had been missed from the premises, and suspicion was excited against the prisoner owing to his having been observed coming out of a store room where he had no hilliness. Sunday morning he was seen in the act of quitting the robin, when Mr. Axtell, who was there at the time, insOted on his being searched on the spot, and this having Been carri e d i n t o effect, two skins were found concealed - between the lining of his coat. The prisoner said he did not krow how the skins came there when they were found, Mr. MAILL committed the prisoner for trial. FALSE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES IN. THE CITY. On Saturday Sir James Duke, M.P., and Mr. Alder man Thomas Johnson, presided at the City Police Com mittee, in the Guildhall, for the purpose of investigating a number of cases brought by Mr. Harvard, the in spector, against several persons (tradespeople and shop keepers in the City), for fraudulently using false weights and measures. James Campbell, the proprietor of the well-known tavern situate in Pope's Head-alley, Cornhill, was sum moned for selling a glass of ale, purporting to be " half a pint," the same mea,ure being . three quarters of an ounce short of that quantity. The case, from the crowded state of the Court, appeared to elicit consider able interest. From the evidence of Turner, the assist ant officer to the inspector, it appeared that on the 9th of August last they entered defendant's tavern, and the inspector requested to be served with a pint of ale. In stead, however, of the ale being served to them in the pewter measure, it was placed before them in two long necked glasses, purporting to contain half a pint each. The inspector asked for a stamped measure, which was furnished him, and on turning the ale into it, the defi ciency was found to be very considerable, nearly to the extent of two ounces. Sir JAMES DUKE requested the glass to be produced ? Mr. Harvard, the inspector, replied it had not been seized. The defendant said he had brought a sample of glasses that be used in the trade, for the purpose of showing the falsity of the accusation. He begged the Magis trates would test the quantity they held, and they would find on the average the public were benefited, as some of them contained more than half a pint. Turner, the assistant, said it was in consequence of the complaints made by the public that the inspector visited the house, • The defendant declared that he had been a licensed victualler for sixteen years in the City, and that no man in his own line in London was un better terms with the public than himself.. - Mr. Harvard, the inspector, corroborated every fact as sworn to by Turner. He added that, in addition to the deficiency in the measures, the glasses even were not full when served to them. Defendant said it was not the custom to fill the glasses so that they ran over ; gentlemen with white waistcoats and kid gloves were in the habit of taking glasses at his house, and were he to fill them so as to disfigure either their gloves or clothing, he would lose their patronage. The inspector put a statement into the Magistrates' hand, from which it appeared that the deficiencies of one ounce and three-quarters in every half-pint would, in a barrel of thirty-six gallons, realise 25 quarts. It also set forth that if a publican sold 30 gallons of beer in the course of the day, at Is. 4d. per gallon, and having a deficiency equal to 2 oz. in the quart, lie gained one twentieth part of what he sold ; for instance, a 2 oz. de ficient would produce 2s. per day ; Is. 6d. per day ; and I oz. deficient Is. per day.• In a quart there was 400 z., a pint 20 oz., half a pint 10oz., gill 50z., and half a gill measure 21oz. The cost of articles supplied to them (inspector and assistant) at the defendant's shop was Is. 6d. per gallon, whereas they were charged at the rate of 3s. 4d. per gallon. They mentioned this in order to show that the profits were sufficient without defrauding the public by selling it to them in false mea sures. Sir JAMES DUKE said the production of the glasses were of the greatest importance in the case, and re gr,tted the inspector had not brought them away with them. Half-a•dozen glasses, which the defendant had brought with him were here tested in the presence of the Court, and were found to contain the legal half pint exactly, and that all his glasses were marked " imperial mea sure." • Turner said they were different to those which the ale was served in to them. They were not marked, whereas, the ones produced had the words " imperial measure" cut on them. After a lengthened conversation, the case was dis missed, on the grounds that the glasses ought to have been produced to support the evidence. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

SIB,—We beg to send for publication the following cure of consumption, by the universal medicine.—We are your obedient servants, MORISON and CO. British College of Health, New-road, London, Aug. 19, 1844. CURE OF CONSUMPTION BY MORISON'S HYGEIAN MEDICINES. COMMUNICATED BY THE REV. J. SMITH. Stockton, Durham, May 20, 1844. Gentlemen,—Truth outweighs fiction, and facts are stubborn thing,. Considerable experience proves that the finest flower in Nature's garden, uninterrupted health, is attainable by the use of . the purifier of the system— the extirpator of disease—the harbinger of real joy— " Morison's Universal Medicines," as the following ex traordinary case of cure will testify : Called, in the performance of professional duties, to visit a person labouring under that dire disease, conaump - lion, I conversed with him respecting the particular seat of pain, and ascertained everything relating to the com mencement and progress of the disease, which it is quite unnecessary here to paticularise, suffice it to state, I found him, (a man about twenty-eight years of age, a bricklayer by trade) labouring under an excessive cough, the expectoration very weighty, and particularly off,n sive to the visitor, his perspiration through the night season very great ; he had been confined to his habita tion for two months, and to his bed for weeks. He had also received the best medical advice from physicians and surgeons, who had declared the case a hopeless one, he beinc , in the last stage of consumption. In this con dition him. Having performed the duties which took me to his dwelling, I offered him assistance; he gratefully accepted it, and I commenced by giving him two pills of No. l each night, and one of No. 1 each morning, this he continued for ten consecutive days, and then I gave him three pills, No. 2. During this period his cough, during the night, became less troublesome, and he slept better. He then proceeded alternately to take three to five pills of each number, and, at the end of three weeks, to the surprise of his family, he was able to leave his room, his cough very little distressing him. He persevered with the doses as above stated : the night sweats gradually left him, strength of body was im parted, and after continuing a course of the medicines for seven weeks (never using larger doses), he was enabled to appear in the house of God to testify of his goodness, and praise Him for his love. The man was well known in the village, and his appearance i n the sanctuary astonished the minister (who had frequently visited him, expecting his dissolution) and the congregation, it appearing that an almost dead man was raised to life and health. For four or five weeks longer he continued to take the medicines of the British College of Health, and none others were administered, and he regained his perfect health, engaged in his wonted employment, and now, after two years, has never experienced a return of disease. I will furnish any lady or gentleman who will address me, through you, with the name and address of the per son, and every particular respecting the case, which was superintended by myself ; and so suiprised were the inhabitants of the place at the extraordinary cure effected, that they looked upon him as one raised from the borders of the grave. That you may long live to dispense the best remedy ever devised for the extirpation of disease from the human system, is the fervent wish of your ardent advo cate, J. SMITH. To Messrs. Morison and Co, London. CAUTION.—Notice is hereby given, that no chemist or druggist is authorised to sell Morison's Pills.
