GLOBE.—Another heavy blow and great discourage ment for the Government of false pretence. If Pyrrhus exclaimed, " Another such victory, and I am undone" —what shall exclaim Goulburn and Gladstone, who purchase defeat—aye, and signal defeat—at a mo ral cost too great, had it purchased victory ! " How is the Queen's Government to be carried on ?" may we ask his Grace of Wellington. Lord' Mel bourne resigned in 1839, because he had only a ma jority somewhat under 20 (if we remember) on a West India question. May we ask what her Majesty's present Ministers propose as their course of action, when they find themselves in a minority of twenty on a West India question ? In common with our London readers, our eyes have lately repeated* fallen on gigan tic placards respecting " that mysterious person, Miles's Boy." If Sir R. Peel passes submissively under the Caudillo Forks placed for him by last night's division, we shall no longer have any doubt where resides the real per sonal identity prefigured by that cognomen. We shall henceforth be unable to think of the plausible Premier, with any other addition than as " that mysterious person, Miles's Boy." That is where all his mysteries of statecraft appear to have landed him. He has tried one mystery too many the attempt to mystify suffering interests. For the first we remonstrated—how much better to have adopted an open policy. But an open policy was not open to those who had so long followed a tortuous course. The party in power had chosen to place their quarrel with their opponents on the old anti slavery ground, which they accused those opponents of deserting. Now the anti-slavery ground has not been deserted ; it has been washed away. There is no longer any sure footing upon it, for any man, or for any party. Our slaves are emancipated ; our efforts against foreign slavery fruitless. Common sense, to say no thing of common honesty, should have dissuaded the old pro-slavery interest from taking up the old anti slavery cry. We have now seen the last agony of that hollow confederacy and pretence. We have seen the in evitable end of successively seeking to pay with words all parties. It is a currency which there is not much scruple in issuing, while the public will receive it ; but the joint issuers are not the parties most disposed to receive it themselves. They know its value ; and it was a most remarkable reckoning without his host, that Sir Robert Peel should have imagined he could turn against his constituent class-interests the very topics they wera well enough pleased to hear him employ in' their favour. The distinction between free and slave labour is valid to keep out the latter ; but not to admit the former. That is where he has made his mistake. But the West India interest, and the parties directly or indirectly connected with it, could have had no power to effect the Ministerial rout last night witnessed, but for the fact that the same tortuous course which now dis gusts those parties (because it now goes against them) is equally disgusting to all liberal minds. STANDARD.—The West Indian interest, by the aid of the Whigs, free traders, and some discontented Conservatives, last night succeeded in obtaining a triumph over the Ministers. The triumph will be, how ever, of short duration, and it is most fortunate for the West Indian portion of the victors that it will be so. We have for twenty years closely watched the pro ceedings of the parties who have in this country undertaken the management of West Indian affairs, and we may say with perfect truth that we have not known them to take one important step which was not stupid, and fatal to their own inte rests, as well as being impolitic and unjust. Last night's proceeding seems to prove that their character is un changeable. Formerly they hoped to be able to per petuate slavery, and consequently made no provision, by educating, elevating, and promoting the increase ofithe negro race, to secure a labouring population when slavery should be at an end. The effect of that insolent neglect of the feeling of England accelerated the Emancipation Act by many years, and the want of the labouring popu lation, which the planters failed to provide, it is which has ruined the West Indies. These are truths to which we challenge an answer from any one. Since the passing of the Emancipation Act, instead of remedying their past neglect, they have been, in truth, negotiating for a smuggled slave trade, while they have calculated upon the perpetuity of the protection they have so long enjoyed. The Government will not indulge them in the smuggled slave trade, and hence, their present alliance with the Whigs. As to the more or less of pro. tection, it is a question which can hardly affect the in terests of the planters beyond one year at most. Their late slaves are their present masters ; the cul tivators of the soil in the West Indies receive six times as much as the cultivators of the soil in Eng land ; improve their trade, and they will receive seven or eight times as much. This, how ever, is the way to diminish, not to increase, the number of labourers, in a population finite and already inadequate. The man who, with all the advantages of a tropical climate congenial to his constitution and habits, receives as much in wages as six or seven English labourers, will not long labour at all. A very little more of capital distributed among the West Indian labourers will ex'mpt them from the necessity of hiring their labour to any one, and then what will become Of the planters? We feel very sensibly for the many excellent persons who have been ruined by the gross mismanagement of their affairs, and it is for the sake of the few who have been able to fight off utter rum to the present time that we speak thus plainly. England will not endure a slave trade, how ingeniously soever disguised, and without a slave trade, or a total change of system, there is no hope for the West Indies; but a change of system cannot be effected without with drawing the management of the affairs of the colenies from those who have so grossly mismanaged them hitherto. LAW INTELLIGENCE. O it Uß to T be o t F rue, QUEE N'S migh SMITH AND WIFE V. THE REV. E. PAGET. 3/ Ir. Platt and Mr. Miller were counsel for the plain ffs, and Mr. Wortley and Sir John Bayley for the defendant. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for a libel, published by the defendant, of and concerning the female plaintiff: Mr. PLATT stated that he had the honour of appear inr for Mr. and Mrs. Smith, who were compelled to q a r c a. e , li nl i i s t : , a s s e e h b a e r f ae or t e er thelf s or sm th it e h p e u a rf r o i s e e d o o f n cl a ea v r e i nryg considerable establishment, as a milliner and dress maker, in Hanover-square, where she was well known and respected. The defendant, he regretted to say, was a clergyman, and the nephew of the Marquis of Angle sey, and he was now called upon to answer before a jury for the publication of a false and malicious libel, one of no ordinary kind. It was particularly pointed to the business and calling of the plaintiff, and was calculated to do her very serious injury. It seemed, whether for the purpose of pandering to some morbid feeling, or from higher motives, the Rev. Gen tleman employed himself in publishing a book, entitled " The Pageant." He would not discuss the merits of the book; he would only call their attention to the general outline of it, for the purpose of showing them what had been introduced into the preface, that they might see the mischievous tendency of that publication. Facts and conversations were introduced into it with a view of laying before its readers the su ff erings of young females employed in these occupations. No one could view their condition without feelings of compassion; but he would beg to ask the jury what calling there was in which there were not sufferings arising from labour? How many . were there in his own profession coin • plained of the labour they underwent ? How many who had arrived at the highest honours who dropped almost into the grave?—the bodily powers were worn out by the working of the mind: There was no trade or profession in which there was not great labour and risk to health, and it was not to be denied that in the business of a milliner in this great town those employed. in it had to submit to considerable hardship, and if there was a proper case to be laid before the jury and the public, in which a charge could be made against any individual of the mode in which the trade was carried on, he should not complain of the charge being made ; but that was not the case here—the estab lishment over which his client presided was not only most extensive, but carried on in the most humane manner. If he could go into the question, he had per sons here who could state to them the mode in which the establishment was conducted, for this action was brought for the purpose of challenging inquiry, to show that it was an infamous calumny. In the preface of the book it would seem to have been published for the purpose he had mentioned, which, after relating a slip-slop story. ended with a desecration of the Scriptures. There was nothing so disgusting as this cant, which, after giving a story as prefaced by the introduction, in which the defendant pretended that lie had received from a correspondent, in whom he could confide, information, which he gave, but was grossly libellous, and then ended with a quotation from the Scriptures. The clergyman, whose duty it was to preach charity, should at least practise it. In the pro. face it was stated that the writer would not Mention any thing for which he had not the warrant of good autho rity, either from the Parliamentary report, or from in formation obtained from private sources; and he then stated that he had received information from a lady that she had seen a young woman who was apprenticed in the establishment of Mr. and Mrs. G., in B— S—. The premium was 40/., and there were seventy appren tices. The meat was contracted for in Newgate market, and was so bad that they could not eat it. The bread was so sour that it disagreed with them. Beer they had none. The tea was as poor as possible. Each of the apprentices was forced to pay 3d. a week to the housemaid, who had no other wages, and did not therefore take much care of their rooms. For three weeks they were only allowed to lie down on their wretched flock beds for two hours without undressing. At last one poor girl, who had often complained of illness, left the room, and in the course of the evening she died, and Mr. G. after wards hushed up the matter by giving her friends 200/. The apprentices worked in a room at the top of the house with a glass roof; that in summer they were al most burnt up, and in the winter were almost frozen with cold. All this, it would be said, was bad enough; but there was a Mrs. S—, of H— S—, who had eighty apprentices in her establishment, and who treated them a little than Mr. and Mrs. G. Did they not think that when any one ventured to publish such a charge against an individual he should have ascertained whether it was true or false? In common fairness he /night to have done so ; but he had done nothing of the kind. The plaintiffs had desired this gentleman to let them know who his correspondent was, as he had stated that in this correspondent he had the highest confidence, but he would not give up the name of the party, and, therefore, it was to be surmised there was no such in existence, but that it was all produced by the Rev. Gentleman himself. What was Mr. Smith to have done, knowing the utter falsehood of the imputation ? He could do no more than challenge him to the proof. If an action were brought against a person for publishing a libel for the purpose of recovering damages, the defendant, if he ____.....m................0 could prov e C rit state upon BENCH,th e ..Tun e record 15. BENEFITS OF LiOXIMERCIAL RECIPROCITY. -- At that it was well founded, and if he proved it to be so, he Paris, in the best appointed houses, and at dinners, could defeat the action. A party could not succeed in which for costly materials and admirable art in their an action for libel, if the defendant could prove that that preparation could not be surpassed, the effect is always which he had written was true. An action was the only I considerably lessened, and by a mode the most mortify- mode in which a party maligned could challenge the ing—by the mere circumstance that every ono at a proof of the aspersion, and the law did not allow Preach dinner is served on a cold plate.

Tringham, is awaiting sailing orders in the harbour; she was last from Guernsey, whither she had been dispatched with troops. The Prince George transport, Lieutenant E. Ward, agent, which came into harbour on Saturday, is taking in victual ling stores at the Royal Clarence-yard, with which she will proceed to Deptford. The Emerald, tender to the St. Vincent, Second Master Samuel Beggs, and the Echo steam-tug, returned from Ply mouth, the former on Monday, and the latter on Sunday. The Echo had had a most hazardous and unpleas'ant voyage down, and great blame is attributed to the authorities, who ordered such a vessel on so important a service as that of conveying 150 valuable seamen hence to Plymouth, whereby their lives were endangered. The Echo is not fit for a rough sea, and plunged so violently as to be compelled to put into Torbay on Thursday, consequently she did not, make Ply mouth until Friday evening, some time after the Emerald, which had encountered the gale, and beat down with ease. The authorities at Plymouth expressed their surprise at such a vessel as the Echo being trusted on such a voyage. The Cornwall freight-ship (late a transport under the agency of Lieutenant A. B. Howe) arrived on Monday from Tong-Kong, with a detachment of the 55th Regiment on board. She is at Spithead awaiting orders to disembark her troops and cargo. The Sylvia, 6, surveying -vessel, an d t en d er to the Sea flower, Commander N. Robilliard, sailed on Sunday evening with supernumeraries for Plymouth, whence she will return to her station at Jersey. The Commander. and crew of the Sylvia received a severe reprimand from Captain Rowley, the flag captain, by order of the Commander-in-Chief for their presumed connivance in the attempted smuggling of some tobacco last week, and for which two of the crew, named Rook a n d P ayne were arraigned before the borough' magis trates of Portsmouth yesterday, but escaped punishment in consequence of the disreputable evidence given by a Coast guard commissioned boatman, named Toby, who admitted having given one of the prisoners brandy whilst in his cus tody, and then swore he made a confession of the smuggling. The following men of war were thus distributed in China on the 25th of February :—At Kong -Kong, the Agincourt, 72, Captain H. W. Bruce, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Cockrane. Commander-in-Chief ; Qastor, 36, Captain C. Gra ham ; Samarang, 26, surveying-ship, Captain Sir E. Belcher; Minden, 20, hospital-ship, Captain M. Quin; and Alligator troop- ship, 26, Alaster Command er J. King; th e D r i ver steam-sloop, Commander C. 0. Hayes. At Whampoa, the Childers. 16, Commander G. G. Wellesley, taking in specie fur England. At Chusan, the Cambrian, 36, Commodore Henry D. Chads ; Plover, surveying-ship, Captain R. Col linson ; Young Ilebe, surveying- ship, Lieutenant Commander T. Bate. At Ningpo, the Pelican, 16, Commander P. Jus tice. At Shanghai, the Wolf, 18, Commander A. Vyner, At Amoy, the Serpent, 16, Commander W. Nevin ; Wol verine, 16, Commander 11. G. Morris; and the Vixen steam vessel, Commander G. Gitfard. The Queen, 110, Captain Sir C. Sullivan, is daily looked for at Spithead. She left Gibraltar on thesth inst. The Pantaloon, 10, is being rapidly proceeded with for re-commission, to compete with the new class 12-gun brig squadron ; as also the Waterwitch, now building by Mr. White, of Cowes, which is reported ready for launching on Saturday next, when she will be sent here to be rigged. The Sydenham steam. frigate, Lieutenant-Cominander R. D. B. Mapleton, passed through Spithead, on her way to her destination, this evening. The Prometheus steam-sloop, Commander John Hay, went without the harbour this afternoon to try her engines, after having had their defects made good; she is rapidly complet ing her complement of hands, and will be ready for sea in a few days. The Wandere r , 16, Commander G.. Seymour, was a Simon's Bay on the 10th of April l as t, froM Penang, en route to England, with a freight of 1,500,000 of specie. She left the Thunderbolt sloop, Commander G. N. Broke, at the former place on the 13th of April. The Alban steam transport, Lieutenant-Commander J. Jeayes, has proceeded from Cork to the Shannon, with stores and provisions for the squadron; also the Hamoaze, from Devouport for the same pu r p ose. Mt. Philip Thornton, late a shipwright in Devonport dock yard, is appointed draughtsman in this dockyard. SUN, persons whose nam.4;commence with 8, that I can't feel that the public is furnished with the slightest clue to the party alluded to . As however, your note seems to imply, and I most el . eeply regret it, that some respectable lady has been ma .de uneasy, and as I :trust I need scarcely say my re marks were not directedagainst indi viduals, but agains t a system, I beg to assure you I shall be most happy, lin a second edition, to withdraw the initials altogether ; but I must decline saying who was or was at 't alluded to by them." In his book, he (Mr. _Platt), - found this passage.:— " I would much rather you would spit at me than throw dust in my eyes. I can see little difference between equivocation and dovvnright lying.". He (Mr. Platt) could go along with him in that observation; and he should like to have had a little truth here. He pub- lished his book, but he• did not dare to come forward. It was not one of those caves in which there would be any difficulty in proving the case, if true, because he might have called all these eighty young ladies. It was plain the whole was a foul fabrication; manufactured for the purpose of oppressing an individual carrying on a re spectable establishment, merely to gratify some feeling of this Rev. Gentleman. He therefore called upon the jury to give such damages as would be a lesson to this gentleman not to publish that the truth of which he could not establish. MONDAY ETZNING, .II7NE 171. 1 Several witnesses then swore that they believed the initials had reference to Mrs. Smith, of Hanover-square. Lord DENMAN summed up the case. The fact of the defendant having no knowledge of the party would not exempt him from re-Tonsibility. All persons were liable for acts they deliberately did which were injurious to others. There was no doubt of the defendant's general feelings of benevolence, but they must see whether the defendant had not taken the means of doing a most irreparable injury to one of his fellow-men. It would have been well if Mr. Paget had determined not to say one word upon the subject until he had inquired into the facts, and satisfied himself that they were true; and, if true, it would have been highly proper to have brought them forward; but he should hold that no man was justified in publishing anything unless at the time of publishing it he was fully prepared to prove the truth of that which he published. They would say whether a party had not a right to expect an explanation when so maligned. The jury retired for some time, and then gave a ver dict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1001. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron GURNEY and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) James Horsted, George Bragger, Mary Ann Ash, Rosetta Bragger, Richard Bragger, and Alexander Nicholson, were in dicted for the manslaughter of Luke Williams. The particu lars of the case have been very recently reported. The de cosed went into a house of a disreputable description in and, while there, was robbed and beaten to such an extent to cause his death on the following day. The evidence was Of a ve r y conflicting nature. The jury found . 1- 1 corked Guilty, and acquitted the other prisoners. The COURT sentenced HorsteJ to two months' imprisoment. Richard Bragger, Mary Ann , and Alexander Nichol son, were then inicted ill for robbing tL 4 deceased , but the Counsel for the prosec u ti on s t a t e d th a t, as iiG had no addi tional evidence beyond what the jury had heard in the former case, he should not, aft er th e ver di c t they had ilLt't returned, call any evidence in support of the present indict ment; and The Learned JUDGE thereupon directed the jury to acquit the prisoners, which they accordingly did. John Thomas Williamson, aged 21, was indicted for felo niously killing and slaying Robert Har r i son Thurlow and Julia Lane, by carrying them and thirteen other passengers in a boat on the river Thames, which boat was constructed to carry four persons only, 'fr, RYLAND stated the case on the part of the prosecu tion, and called several witnesses, from whose evidence it ap peared that on the evening of the 18th May the prisoner took a number of very young persons into his boat, amount ing to 15 altogether; and that when the boat was some where near London-bridge it got foul of a steamer, and was consequently upset, and precipitated the whole party into the water, by which means five of them lost their lives, and the rest were saved with great difficulty. The Beadle of the Watermen's Company proved that the boat in question was not a licensed one, and that from its small size, it was one that would not, under any circum stances, be licensed to carry more than four persons. The jury acquitted the prisoner. John Curtis, alias Johnson, Sarah Bennett, and Lucy Groves, were indicted for a robbery, attended with violence, on the person of Boulanger, a Frenchman. It appeared that the prosecutor had been induced by a very young girl to enter a house of ill-fame in the neighbourhood of St. Giles's, and that he had no sooner done so than he was attacked by the fertiale prisoners, who demanded his money, watch, &c., and on his refusing to part with them they called the male prisoner to their assistance, and the whole party then fell upon him, knocked him down, robbed him of his watch and Si., and on his calling for assistance the male prisoner attempted to cut his throat with a knife, which was handed to him for that purpose by ore of the women, and that, in his struggles, his (prosecutor's) hand was cut severely. The prisoner Curtis, in defence, said that he desired the prosecutor and the girl he brought with him to leave the house, and on his refusal to do so he tried to put him out, and in the struggle that took place between them the prosecutor's hand got cut by his having dashed it through a pane of glass. He denied having asked for or used a knife. The jury found Curtis and Bennett guilty, and acquitted Groves. Mr. Baron GURNEY said that robberies, attended with vio lence, such as the prisoners had used towards the prosecutor, would always be visited with the severest punishment. He then ordered sentence of death to be recorded against Curtis and Bennett, accompanied with an intimation that their sentence would be commuted to one of transportation for the term of their natural lives. Charles Hall was indicted for the murder of his wife, Charlotte Hall, at Wimbledon. It will be recollected that, a short titne since, the wife of the prisoner was found dead in her bed, and that he imme diately absconded. This conduct on his part gave rise to a suspicion that the deceased had met herdeath by foul means; but on the coroner holding an inquest on her body, the me dical gentleman, who had made a post-mortem examination of the body, gave it as his opinion that her death had been caused by apoplexy, and the jury thereupon returned a ver dict of natural death. The same gentleman having now repeated his evidence, the Judge directed the jury to acquit the prisoner, and which they accordingly did. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. A decent, hard-working man, named Mitchell, was brought before Sir John Pirie, charged with having de serted from the 61st Regiment eleven years ago. The circumstances excited much interest in the justice-room, in which a number of persons, who were acquainted with the prisoner, attended to hear the particulars of the accusation. Florence Driscoll, a native of the South of Ireland, presented himself to the Alderman, and said that he was the accuser. He knew the prisoner to have been a deserter, in the year 1833, from the 61st Regiment, of which Lieutenant-Colonel Burnsides was the Colonel. Sir J. PIRIE—Are you a policeman or constable? Witness—No. I was in the same regiment myself, and I was discharged hi 1840, and I know he deserted from the regiment in 1833. He told me he was discharged ; but I know I am right in saying he is a deserter. Sir JOHN PIRIE—What motive have you for thus ac cusing this man of being a deserter ? Is there any re ward attached to the information ? Prosecutor—l be lieve there is, please your Lordship ; but that an't my objebt. I consider it my duty, whenever I see a deserter, to take him into custody. Sure. I'm sworn to do my duty. Sir JOHN PIRIE—Do you know the man ? Prose cutor—l know him to be a deserter; and I charge him, because I am bound by law to do so. Sir JOHN PIRIE—Why did you not apprehend him before ? It is several years since he deserted. if he de serted at all. Prosecutor—l had nobody to help me till a little while ago ; and that's the reason I didn't do it before. I now charge him with being a deserter, and I'll prove it upon oath. Sir JOFIN PIRIE—What has the prisoner to say to this ? The prisoner —My Lord, he is perfectly ac quainted with me, for my daughter is married to his son. All this has arisen from a quarrel which took place last night between his wife and my wife. Prosecutor—l have nothing to do with my wife's quarrels. I come here for the sake of the public, and I have nothing to do about my wife and his wife. What has my wife to do with my duty to my country—Eh? Sir JOHN PIRIE—This is evidently a malicious and a vindictive movement of yours, Mr. Driscoll. Prosecutor--I am sworn to take up persons of this kind. He got my son to marry his daughter, to prevent me from apprehending him, but I know my duty to my country too well, and here I have him accordingly. The prisoner —My Lord, lam now in the employment of Mr. Hayward, of the Minories, a gentleman who be longs to, the Court of Common Council, in whose service I have been these two years and a half. I have been in the employment of other gentlemen of high respectability in the City, who will readily come forward to bear testimony to my honesty and industry, and have brought up a family of fourteen children. My prosecutor has accused me merely on account of the disagreement be tween our wives. Prosecutor—He must appear to answer this at the War-office. Sir JOHN PIME—As the prisoner is charged upon the oath of the prosecutor with being a deserter, I have no alternative but to send him to the War-office, but I shall take care that the circumstances shall be repre sented to the proper authorities, and I shall certainly do all I can for the poor man at the bar. I cannot dispose of the matter without declaring that nothing can pal liate the conduct of the prosecutor in volunteering at this time, and under such circumstances, to arraign the prisoner, when he could have done so years ago. The prisoner expressed himself most gratefully to Sir John Pirie. Several very decent men declared with one voice that they had long known the prisoner to be a man of most unexceptionable character, and in answer to Sir John Pirie, who desired to know whether his family were provided for in his absence, the prisoner replied that his master, upon being informed of the occurrence, would, he had no doubt, take care that they should be supplied. Sir JOHN PIRIE—Very well, I shall see your master, and I shall write to Lord Fitzroy Somerset upon the subject. _ The above scene was frequently interrupted by ebulli- C lions of feeling from the crowd. WORSHIP-STREET. Mr. Sowerby, a pawnbroker, was summoned by a common informer, named Charles M'Callan, formerly a policeman at Bi rm i ng h am , w h o charged ' him with having exacted a farthing beyond the lawful interest. The informer's witness, Richard Moor, a discharged policeman, proved that on the 6th of February he re deemed a waistcoat pledged for 45., and was charged 2d. interest, which was a farthing too much. He was cer tain of the date, because he redeemed two pledges on the same day, and made a memorandum of it for the purpose of information and he said that upo n th e secon d p l edge a farthi ng too much interest was charged also. Mr. Humphreys, who appeared f o r th e pawn b ro k er, said th e fact was t hat upon the second pledge a farthing less than the lawful interest was taken, and he produced the tioket in proof of it; but Mr: Bund found the writing upon it so imperfect that it could not be made out. The informer's witness produced his znemorandnm book, to show that his statement was correct. Mr. BOND convicted, as it was admitted there had been a farting overcharged upon the first pledge. A second summons, for a similar offence, was then brought forward ; but Mr. Humphreys admitted the fact of overcharge in that case. Mr. BON fined the defendant 40s. and costs, upon each summons, but he directed that the costs only should he paid to the informer, and no part of the penalty. LAMBETH -STREET. Mr. Christopher Meating, who had been an officer in her Majesty's Customs for nearly forty years, and was on the eve of superannuation on his full salary, was brought before Mr. Henry for final examination, on a charge of stealing a head of tobacco, the value of which did not exceed 6d., the property of the London Dock Company. From the evidence of the different witnesses, it ap peared that on Wednesday the prisoner, who was on duty in the tea- department of the London Docks, on passing by a cask of leaf tobacco, which some men were rolling along, took a h ea d o f the tobacco, which pro jected from the end that had given way, and concealed it behind' him. One of the labourers perceiving what he had done, de s ired the prisoner to give the tobacco back, and told him at the time he should be ashamed of him self for taking it, and the property was returned. The circumstance coming to the ears of some of the dock officers, the prisoner was taken before the surveyor of Customs and superintendent of the dock, and ordered by them to be sent before a - magistrate. When before examined, the prisoner said, in reply to the charges, that he had observed the tobacco falling from the cask, and he had merely taken it for preserva • tion, and intended handing it to Mr. Dooley, a locker of Customs. On Saturday, by the directions of Mr. Pelham,his soli citor, the prisoner declined saying anything, and was fully committed to take his trial. UNION -HALL. Joseph Cross, a cab proprietor, residing at Brixton, was brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged with steal ing a purse containing a 5L Bank of England note, five sovereigns, and three gold seals, the property of Mrs. Carr, of Grosvenor-street, Grosvenor-square, the lady of Captain Carr, of the East India Company's service. Policeman Radcliffe, 27 L, stated that on the 3d inst. Mrs. Carr engaged the prisoner's cab at Kennington, and was driven to Grosvenor -street. Some time after she alighted she missed her purse, which she was confident she had left on the seat, but being ignorant of the number of the vehicle, she gave information of the cir cumstance at . Scotland-yard, and also made inquiry at i Somerset House to ascertain if the cab driver had depo sited the purse and contents there. Being unsuccessful, however, in her application, Policeman Radcliffe, being informed of the circumstances, with difficulty traced the prisoner as the man who had driven Mrs. Carr on the day in question, although he at first equivocated a good deal on the subject. When, however, he was brought into the presenc , - of the lady, he at first denied that he knew anything about the purse or its contents, but upon Mrs. Carr assuring him that if her property was restored to her she would not prose cute, the prisoner then admitted that he found the purse and all that it contained some time after she quitted the cab, and said they were all safe, with the exception o f one sovereign, which he had foolishly spent. The above admission was made in the presence of Radcliffe, to whom the prisoner then handed over the purse and its contents, with the exception of the sovereign which he said he had expended. The policeman added that Mrs. Carr, being perfectly satisfied with the restoration of her property, particularly the gold seals, one of which had been reeently sent to her by Captain Carr from In dia, was therefore unwilling to appear against the pri - soner, and was not in attendance. Mr. COTTINOLIAM said that it was a very serious rob bery, and that such offences were very frequent, and it would be necessary to have the attendance of the lady to whom the purse and its contents belonged. The prisoner said that he regretted what had occurred; that he admitted he was wrong in keeping the purse, but that, having set down the lady at the corner of Gros vernor-street, and not knowing where she lived, he could not call at her house to make her acquainted with her loss. He added that, Mrs. Carr having promised not to press any charge against him on his returning her the property, he trusted that the Magistrate would not com pel that lady's attendance. Mr. COTT/NORA/5f said that, even if the prisoner was cognisant of the lady's residence, he knew very well that, as an honest man, he was bound to take any property left by mistake in his cab to Somerset House, where the owner would have an opportunity of having it restored. This, however, the prisoner did not do, and, for the sake of the public, he (the Magistrate) should compel Mrs. Carr to attend, observing that so serious a charge must not be allowed to be compromised ; therefore he should remand the prisoner until Wednesday. WANDSWORTH. Inspector Creed, of the V division, applied to the sitting magistrate for his advice and assistance under the following circumstances : Some time last summer a pier was thrown out near to the Red House, Battersea-fields, at the instance of the Westminster_ . Steam-boat Company, to enable their boats to land and embark passengers. The consequence has been that Battersea-fields has become a favoured resort on the Sunday for some thousands of mechanics, their wives and children, the opportunity of reaching this sot being within the means of the most humble artizan. To afford amusement to the visitors, several persons have speculated in the letting out of horses and donkeys for "penny rides," and another person has laid out a considerable sum of money in the erection of a gigantic swing. It was to devise some means of putting down these " nuisances,"as they were termed, that the Inspec tor waited on the magistrate. Mr. Parserna inquired if any complaint had ever been made to the police ? The inspector replied, several, and one of the complaining parties was Mr. Wright, the landlord of the Red House. Mr. PAYNTER. wished to know if the ground upon which the donkey-riding took place was common land or private property? The inspector said it was private property, as was also the piece of ground where the swing is situated. Mr. PAYNTER—Then I have no power to interfere, and Ido not see why I should interfere. In no other country are the working classes restricted in their Sun day amusements, and I do not see, so long as those amusements are harmless in their character, that they should be in this. The gentry throng Rotten-row on Sunday in carriages and on horseback; then why is the same privilege to be denied the humble mechanic? The inspector said he should not have interfered but that some of the resident gentry made complaints. Mr. PAYNTER—Let the gentry, before they make those complaints, set the example of abstinence in their oMagi s t rate conc l u d e d h i s ob servationsahtyalthough h e w i shed to see the u w i n n b p i e e rs c o a n bs s ys . es The a a t l i l no every m eans o f recreat i on, yet he would not countenance a ny i rregularity of conduct, either on their part or those wh o catered to their enjoy ments; therefore, if any compl a i nts came before him, he stating, worthy would severely punish the culpable parties. KINGSTON. (Before Captain ROBERTS, and a full Bench of Magis trates.) The Court was crowded on Saturday by persons anxious to hear the proceedings against a man named John Durdon, who had been apprehended by the po lice for keeping a gaining -booth at Hampton races, con trary to law, and in disobedi ence to the order recently issued by the Secretary of State, Mr. Allen, of the Oxford Circuit attended on behalf of the defendant. Henry Jackson, a police-constable of the V division, deposed that he was on duty at Hampton races on Thursday last, and in consequence of information he re ceived, he went round to the different booths, and, on going into one of them, a man, whom he knew by name, attempted to prevent him, and said there was no occa sion to go in, and asked him to go and have some sherry. Witness told him he wanted no wine, and that he should do his duty. Mr. Allen objected to what passed between the man and the witness, in the absence of the defendant, being given in evidence. He also remarked upon the nature of the proceeding. • Captain Roberts observed that the Secretary of State had issued private instructions to put down gambling at races, and those instructions must be carried out. For his own palit, he was glad to do all in his power to prevent the public from being robbed as they had been. Jacksen then proceeded to state that, on his going into the booth, he saw a roulette table, and he observed the defendant turn the ball round, and several persons were present playing. (The table and equantity of counters were here produced.) He took the defendant into custody, and also assisted to seize the table and the other implements used for the game. The witness then produced 174 counters. They were made of white metal, resembling silver, and on one side were the words, " Established 1800, D.G.," and on the other, "New Betting Rooms, Doncaster," and a repre sentation of the Grand Stand. He added that the ball was one of the same description usually employed for playing at roulette, As they were going to Kingston, the prisoner offered to give him two sovereigns if he would say nothing about gambling being carried on in the booth. STATE OF TRADE. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JUNE 14.—There has been more business done this week in combing and clothing Wools, and a better tone of feeling prevails, but ' prices are not yet such as to afford a profit on the rates asked and obtained by. the farmers. WAKEFIELD, JUNE 14.—We do not make any alte ration in our report of the Wool market this week; sales in all kinds are limited, but prices are firm. YORK, JUNE 13.—There was a large quantity of Wool exhibited in our market to-day, and a very numerous attendance of buyers also. Considerable business has been transacted ; nearly every lot was sold, with little variation in price. The best lots of Hog and Ewe, 14s. to 14s. 6d. One Third Hog, 13s. to 13s. 9d. L9eks, Bs. to 9s. 6d per stone. HULL. —The wool season in this town may be said to have commenced on Tuesday last, that being the first day upon which any English wool of this year's growth was offered, and the quantity was by no means equal to the demand ; the prices averaged 11d. per lb. As events have turned out, it appears unfortunate that the wish expressed last year to commence the wool fair a fortnight earlier than usual, should have been acceded to, for, the weather being for a long time cold, though dry, caused the farmers generally to delay shearing ; during the last fortnight, however, clipping has been•at its height, and a great weight of wool is known to be in process of packing. The prospect of an early har vest, also, will induce all possible expedition with re spect to this article, and we fully expect that buyers during the next month will find the market much better supplied. LEEDS.—There continues to be a very thin supply of balk goods brought to our cloth-halls, particularly of low qualities, suitable for the shipping houses ; such at present meet ready sale. There has also been a fair quantity of shawls and fancy cloakings, delivered to order during the week. On the whole there continues to be a full average business doing, as compared to the same period of the season of the last few years, The American houses still continue busy, but the spring season bein, 4 nearly over, and t oo soon f or speculation fi:r the autumn demand, there has in consequence been but little doing in the warehouses of those who depend solely on the home trade. BRADFORD MARKET.—Pieces are moved off in fair quantities, and the business doing at this period is fully an average of former seasons. Yarns are now assuming a degree of firmness in price, and more dispositiun to buy than for some time past, which augurs more favour ably for the future. The opening of the different wool markets at York, Doncaster, &c., for the season, some what obstructs the buyers who for a long time have been doing but little here, which causes the demand for comb ing wools to continue languid, and prices barely main tained. The improvement at the recent colonial sales has tended to somewhat improve the demand for fine brokes and noils, and for which recent prices are fully main tained. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have not had so much doing in cloth this week as many anticipated ; and though large quantities are buying for India and China, still the production seems to exceed the demand, and in consequence manufacturers are disposed to accept rather less money than on this day se'nnight. Good printing cloth is fully as dear, and the demand very good. Domestics arc rather lower, and not quite so much doing in them. Twist is selling pretty freely, at prices not quotably different from those rated last week.—Leeds Mercury. By Mr. Allen—Believed that the ground on which the races were held was private property, but he did not know who it belonged to. The other man whom he had mentioned ran out of the booth, or be should have ap prehended him also for gambling. Captain WILLIAMS, to the witness—l believe the in structions issued by the Secretary of State were to ap prehend all persons found gambling in the booths ? Witness —Those were the instructions we received. By Mr. Allen—There were a great many booths, and some thousands of persons were present. There were 1 stalls of all kinds, and forty or fifty booths, but not of the same kind as the one in which he saw the defendant.

Mr, Allen then nciciress@d the Berlch at considerable 1 overtire& of effective service that will yield great variety and I length ; ill behalf of the defendant, and after remarking upon the prejudice which usually attached to cases of this sort, he said the Magistrates had a very important and onerous duty cast upon them, inasmuch as they stood in the position of both judge and jury, and he sub mitted that they ought not to convict except upon the strongest evidence. He then proceeded to contend that no conviction could take place under the Act of George the Fourth, commonly called the Vagrant Act, inasmuch as that only applied to cases of gambling on a public highway, and the evidence went to show that the race course was private property. If a party gambled upon his own land the magistrate had no power to interfere. The Learned Counsel then alluded to the New Police Act, which he contended was only intended to apply to fairs, and he went on to express his conviction that as the race-course was proved to be private property, the magistrate had no jurisdiction. Mr. Jetnruet, clerk to the Bench, remarked that the Act gave very much greater powers than those sug gested by the Learned Counsel, and, among others, it provided a remedy_ for telling fortunes in private houses. Captain ROBERTS said that if the Bench entertained any doubt of their power and jurisdiction they would not act, bat they did not entertain any such doubt. Mr. Allen then went on to contend that there must be some proof of parties having betted or played before there could be a conviction. rn this case there was no such proof, and he, therefore, submitted that the off-nce contem plated by the , statute had not been proved—there was not the slightest evidence that the defendant had either played or betted. The Magistates then considered the case, and, after they had consulted, The CHAIRMAN said the Bench had given their most serious consideration to the point that had been urged on behalf of the defendant, and they were clearly of opinion that the act was committed in a public place within the meaning of the statute ; and, as to the objection that there was no proof of the defendant's having played, they considered the circumstance of his being at the table and working the ball quite sufficient proof of that fact, and the circumstance of his finding the table, the cloth, and the counters, showed clearly that the parties were met to bet and gamble. The Bench therefore considered the offence proved, and adjudged the defendant to be imprisoned for month in the House of Correction. Mr. Allen gave notice of appeal. The roulette table and other gambling apparatus were ordered to be destroyed. CORONER'S INQUEST. CRIM. CON.— 3n Saturday a protracted inquiry was gone into before Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, and a highly respectable jury of gentlemen residing in the parish of St. Bride, in the Bridewell Hospital, New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, touching th e d eat h o f R o b ert Milsom, otherwise John White, aged 35, a prisoner. Mr. John Farrer, assistant surgeon to the Bridewell, deposed that the deceased was first brought under his notice about five weeks since. He was suffering from palpitation of the heart. From external appearances witness concluded that he was labouring under con siderable organic diseaca ; in consequence of which, witness ordered deceased not #o work any longer at the mill. Medicines were given to deceased from time to time as he required them, but nothing alarming or fatal was apprehended until Friday morning last, when immedi ately after washing himself; he began to complain of giddi ness, and then fell down in a fit. Witness opened a vein in the arm and blood flowed freely, but de ceased did not recover in the least. He, therefore, applied mustard poultices to his feet, and friction to his body. Deceased, however, never rallied, but expired the same morning, at half-past eleven o'clock. A post mortem examination of the body, subsequently made, proved that the heart of deceased was diseas-d, which, having impeded the free circulation of the blood, had caused apoplexy. Samuel Lees, a prisoner, said he had been sleeping with the deceased for the last three weeks. During that period he had been exceedingly fretful, and he told the witness that on the Saturday before he was sent to prison he saw his wife with another man in the neigh bourhood of Newgate-market. Owing to the conduct of his wife he would sit for hours together in the work room and not exchange a single word with any one. On the night previous to his death he cried very much. On the following morning, however, he got up, and seemed in much better-spirits, and commence l dancing. Shortly afterwards he was in the act of combing his hair, when he fell down, saying at the time, " Sam Sam ! I am going." Witness ran forward and lifted him up, when he said he felt as if he was deficient in strength. A doctor came about twenty minutes after, but he died the same morning. The last words he ut tered were he wanted to see his wife. Deceased was by trade a weaver, but his father-in-law being a type-foun der, he took him into Messrs. Caslon's letter-foundry, in Chiswell-street where he learned the art of letter-cast ing. Deceased had some time since told witnes-, that he was first sent to prison for refusing to support the chil dren of his wife, who was living with a master black smith. The CORONER having inquired if the wife was present, and being answered in the negative, said if' the man had got into trouble through the misconduct of his wife, it was a pity she was not aware of it. The Foreman of the Jury inquired what the last wit ness had done ? The Governor (Captain Kincaid) re plied he had driven a cabriolet without a license. The CORONER (with great emotion)—lt is monstrous to send a man among thieves for that. A juror —What is his sentence for driving a cab withont a license ? The Governor—One month. He has been here before for the same offence. A juror —Here is a man sent to prison, and obliged to associate with thieves and abandoned characters nir a month, because he tries to earn a livelihood fur himself and family, he being, perhaps, too poor to pay for a license. George Devereux, one of the turnkeys, said that de• ceased was admitted on the 22d of April, having been convicted at the Mansion-house, and sentenced to three months, for attempting to commit a fekny in Tower street, City. He told witness that his ife was living with another man, and that she was the cause of his leading a dishonest life. A messenger was, at the request of the worthy Co roner, dispatched in a cab to Mr. Caslon's, requesting the attendance of the wife's father. On his arrival he admitted that his (laughter was cohabiting with another man, but had not for any length of time. Other evidence having been adduced, the Coroner summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of " Natural death from apoplexy, arising from a disease of the heart." `` NAPLES, MAY 3.

A COUNTERFEIT FRESHMAN.--A very interesting.- looking person, habited at a ll p o i nts lik e an under graduate, was brought before the magistrates on Thurs day, charged with creating a disturbance. So attractive was the appearance of the handsome gownsman, that hundreds of men, women, and children, followed him in his peregrinations the previous evening. The anxiety of the populace at length became so troublesome, that the police interfered, and invited the • youth to the station house. Their guest created an inexplicable commotion amongst officers and men ; there was a mystery not to be unravelled, until at length a sigh burst from a gentleman in blue, and the truth was told. "In one soft look what language lies !" No man, but a lovely woman was under their protection. They invited the lady incog. to make that house her home for the night, and they would introduce her to the magistrates of the town in the morning. On her appearance before George Fisher and Julian Skrine, Esqrs., her name was found to be Nestor Sale ; she had been induced to act this counterfeit character by some ladies in Barnwell, and she promised, if the magistrates would forgive her, that although she might wear the cap and gown again, she would eschew the breeches. With an intimation that the repetition of her frolic might lead her to the treadmill, she was discharged.—Cambridge Claonick. INFREQUENCY OF ACCIDENTS IN RAILWAY TRA vnurno.--Captain Laws, R.N. in his recent vidence given before the Ledger Bridge and Bradford Parlia mentary Committee, stated, that upwards of one million and a half of passengers had ben conveyed over the Oldham Branch Railway since it 3 opening, and yet not the slightest accident had happened to a single pas senger; and this too, although the town of Oldham was entered by means of a stationary engine, with a gra dient of 1 in 27—a freedom from accidents not to be paralleled by any other mode of travelling. when the number conveyed is considered. THE CROPS AND THE WEATHER.—During the past month, the wind has stood at N.E. with generally st rong breezes, an d very dry and cold. .'A favourable change, however, took place on Monday last, when the wind moved to W.S.W., with every appearance of rain, which ' is very much wanted in this neighbourhood, there being great b rea d t h s o f ground wh i ch cannot be operated upon owing to its dry condition. The late sown ' spring corn looks very sickly and bad, but that sown in winter and in the early part of spring, has a much ter appearance. For want of rain the INY Props will suffer very much ; indeed to 510 an extent do the far mers complain, that, according to their prognostications, there will not be half a crop, however favourable the weather may continuo from the presvo perm - , Ouran4 .; - 7 , 7 • .0V LLOYD'S SHIPPING. By the arrival of th e steam - s hi p Britannia, from New York, at Liverpool, on Friday evening, we are in receipt of the subjoined intelligence : Accounts have arrived at!Halifax of the loss of the ship Saladin, Captain APlienzie, 240 tons burthen, on the coast of the Island Harbour, situate about 90 miles to the eastward of Halifax. It took place on the morning of the 20th of May, and there seems to be little chance of much property being saving. The ship, which was built at Newcastle, in the year 1835, sailed from Valparaiso on the 17th of February, bound to London, having on board a quantity of guano, seventy tons of copper, and a very large amount of mo ney in dollars. Upon the wreck being boarded, the survivors of the crew reported that the captain, Mr. M'lCenzie, died from fever on the sth of April, and also the mate ; and that the second mate and two seamen had lost their lives by falling fr the yard-arm. The remainder of the ship's company, six in number, being unable to manage the vessel, ran ashore at the place as above mentioned. Sus picions were aroused by the following circumstances transpiring : It appears that since the 14th of April no log had been kept, and on that which was kept previously being exa mined, it was found to contain not the slightest informa tien respecting the captain's death, or that of the seamen. The sailors, when spoken to on the subject, maintained a strict silence, and, from their conduct throughout, it is inferred that there has been some dreadful slaughter re sorted to in order to obtain possession of the ship and specie on board. There is little doubt, from the superb description of furniture found in the cabin, and other conveni ences, but that Mrs. M Kenzie accompanied her hus band on the voyage. A likeness of her, and some portion of c hild ren ' s c l ot hi ng have been discovered in the cabin also. Whether she has met a similar fate as that of her husband, or any of her children, it is impossible, as may he seen, to premise. The crew, since the occur rence, have been expending money very freely, and in one instance one of them offered a bag of dollars for a passage to England. Immediately on the information arriving at Halifax, the Hon. Michael Tobin, Lloyd's agent, solicited Vice- Admiral Sir Charles Adams to dispatch her Majesty's war -steamer Hermes, for the purpose of preserving the remains of the cargo and wreck, but as she could not be got ready so soon as required, Sir Charles Adams for warded the Fair Rosamond on the same message. The ship is insured in London to a very heavy amount, and the chief portion of the specie belongs to several firms in the City. A strict investigation has been instituted be'ore this, Admiralty writs having been issued for the arrest of all the parties, ship, and cargo, and the next mail is looked forward to with great interest. DESTRUCTION OF THREE SHIPS BY ICEBERGS. Letters have also been received announcing the fol lowing losses :—The ship Anne Barry, bound to Ari chat, struck on the ice on the 7th of last May, and, in the course of a very brief period, sunk ; the crew, how ever, quickly ascertaining that their ill-fated ship had met with a mortal injury, lost no time in making their escape with the boat, and, after beating about on the wide ocean for three days, they were picked up by a foreign vessel, twenty leagues to the eastward of Scotia, as may be conceived, in a very exhausted state. The ship Lady Colebrook, 295 tons burden, and built at New Brunswick in the year 1841, was totally lost, under somewhat similar circumstances. She sailed from Halifax for Quebec on the 6th of May, and on the morn ing of the 9th she fell in with the ice, and was com pletely cut in two by the mountain bergs. The crew providentially saved themselves by taking to the boats, and gained the land in safety in the afternoon of the same day. The cargo is insured for 3,0001. The other ship lost is the Lotus, a large vessel, called a Quebecer, 397 tons burthen, belong ing to Whitby. Sh e sailed from B r i s t o l on t h e 4th of A pril' for Quebec, and was wrecked on the ice on the sth of May. The crew were picked up in a few days by the Swallow, of White haven, in 1at.,45 40, lon. 45 30. Ship and cargo are par tially insured in England. LOSS OF A VESSEL BY FIRE. The ship Industry, belonging to Halifax, was, on the 25th of May last, completely consumed by fire. It oc curred in the main hatchway, and so rapid was the flames, that the crew were instantly forced to take to their boats, and were ultimately preserved by the Lord Seaton ship, since arrived at the above port. The total loss of the above vessels with their cargoes, is calculated to amount to at least 40,0001.
