Michael Ralph was brought before Mr. Alderman Harmer under the following circumstances. Mr. Yates, solicitor, said that he attended on behalf of Mr. Myers, rag-merchant, Wentworth-street, White chapel, with whom the prisoner had had dealings for two years. In January last he called and made a pur chase amounting to nearly 201., for which he presented what he termed a banker's bill for 204, receiving some money as difference out of the bill. Mr. Myers paid the bill through his bankers. About ten days after wards the prisoner again called and paid a similar bill; and, at the latter end of January, he paid a third bill of the same amount. The bills having arrived at matu rity, were dishonoured. He had written to Birming. ham and ascertained that the bankers knew no such persons as those whose names appeared as drawers of the bills. They had every appearance of having been issued from the bank, and could only have been had there. It was the plate of the bank, and there were no other persons in Birmingham who vended stamps of the description. The prisoner was apprehended on Saturday night. After some inquiry on the part of Alderman Harmer relative to the charge, the prisoner, in answer to a question, said—l beg the indulgence of being remanded till Friday, when I can produce such evidence as will throw a different light on the transaction. He was remanded accordingly. This day is published, T HE BRITISH AND FOREIGN RE VIEW, No. XVIII. IMMEDIATE BENEFITS OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC. LI FE ANNUITIES, CALCULATED on EQUITABLE PRINCIPLES ! ! !

STOVE ON PRINCIPLES ENTIRELY NEW, AND UNEQUALLED FOR COMFORT AND ECONOMY. By her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent. rirHE CHUNK PATENT STOVE, 1 invented by Mr R. PROSSER, Civil Engineer, is distin guished from all others by its entire freedom from dust or smoke ' its great economy of f ue l, an d i ts per f ect safety from fire. It has been a source of great comfort in the nursery and ned-room of he invalid, affording an uniform temperature through the day and night, with only one supply, while the tnost delicate test cannot detect anything arising from its use which is injurious to health—it merely warms the air without de composing it ; and, as there is no door, none of the gases generated by combustion can pass into the apartment. Wherever warmth is required, this Stove is applicable. It is ns desirable for the drawing-room as the laundry ; for warming irre enhouses it possesses extraordinary claims, the very great C"Pense o f b u ildi ng s ues, an d a f terwar d s t h e i mmense con suMption of fu"l, being avoided. For workshops and ships' Z a bins it is invaluable ; it requires attention only once in t went y - four hours, during which time the cost will not ex cee d ?pence.

Prithee do not reject us Till you've read our Prospectus. Early in November will be published, what every impartial in dividual will admit is much wanted in the Irish Metropolis, a really Honest, Able, and LIBERAL WEEKLY JOUR NAL, which it has been determined shall be called TE W 0 it L D. Now that we have sat down to draw up our Prospectus, we do solemnly protest that we would have given a considerable sum could we, by any means, have induced Lord Brougham and Viscount Palmerston to perform the duty for us, by way of proxy. The one would have described all that " THE WORLD" ought and will be, a thousand times better than we can ever hope to do ; while the other would have en shrouded all our errors and weaknesses in so murky a mantle of mystification, that they would have escaped the " audax et vigilans" scrutiny of the keenest customer in the New Police. Failing in our attempt either to enlist the ex-Chancellor, who was in hot haste to meet the hero of Waterloo at Dover, or the Prince of Protocols, who assured us that " he had not a paragraph in him," the last having been expended to complete the piscatory portion of the Queen's Speech, we had some notion of applying to Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, but feared he would be too Whiggish and classical. Then we turned our eyes to Eaton-square, and thought of placing ourselves under an obligation to Sir William Molesworth, but changed our mind, lest his Durham politics should creep through a ' transparent veil of Radicalism. Tom Wyse we were half in clined to solicit, but he wouldhave been rather heavy, and had enough to de in Waterford. Richard Sheil had the next place in our consideration, bat his style would have been too spark ling and light for us ; and, moreover, we knew that ha was busied net only in preparing a patriotic address to the electors of Tipperary, but also in obtaining some knowledge of the tallow and molasses trade out of M'Culloch's " Commercial Dictionary." Having at length seen that we must ourselves put en our apron, and take up our tools, for the due execution of the en dertaking, we were fairly bothered deciding whether the affair should be extremely long and dull, or uncommonly short and merry. Conscience whispered that we should speak the truth, but we remembered that the philosopher of Malmesbury has denounced all truth-telling public writers as dangerous to the safety of a corrupt and tyrannical commonwealth, and has re commended that both them and their lucubrations should be bundled off to some comfortable and hospitable country, like Australia or New Zealand. Our disposition and interest prompted us to treat a grave matter with becoming serious ness ; but then the advice of Pliny flashed upon our memory, (Ut in vita sic in studiis pulcherrimum, &c.) where ho recom mends us to mingle mirth and gravity in our studies. We feared to be vivacious andpointed, lest we should be condemned as frivolous and slanderous, and suffer that public displeasure which has ever been visited upon unhappy authors since the time that the Athenians burned the books of Protagoras, and the Romans hunted Diogenes and his companions out) f: k. City, for telling more than they wished to hear. " Human Natur," as Dick Stapleton phrases it, would have inclined us to Le a little vain, thereby following the counsel of Lord Bacon, who informs us that " the fame of Seneca and Cicero was kept fresh by their boasting, which seems to be like varnish, that not only makes wood shine, but last ; but we drew ourselves up, and, upon reflection, decreed that self-praise, so far as we were concerned, should be monopolized by the com pounders of Morisen's Pills, and Holloway's Poor Man's Oint ment. Here, then, we were at a dead-lock, and seizing our pen, first wrote a furious letter to Dr. Dionysius Lardner, com plaining that science had not yet discovered some piece of me chanism that might manufacture Prospectuses of all sorts and sizes by steam—then set about inditing one after the good olsi fashioned plan. The Amphitryon thinks the choicest blessing of life a re cherche repast; the exquisite prizes above all things a well-cut coat, or an unobjectionable cigar ; the Ennuyee pants for the last new novel, or the opera ; the Rational Man alms loves an honest and clever newspaper. But where is he to find it? Most assuredly not among the Liberal Journals of Dublin ; for we, not long ago, went over the catalogue of the Liberal Me tropolitan prints with the talented Mr. George Robins, who confessed, with a yawn and a sigh, that beginning with the oldest, and leaving off with the youngest,—" the chief of the Irish Press," (a tribute, by the way, paid to our own humble exertions by the honest' Sheffield Iris)—" he never had the misfortune to have submitted to his inspection se bad a lot, or one which would furnish such scanty materials for the puff ex traordinary." Spenser tells us that the Dublin Liberal News papers, or " carryers of newes," in his time were " fooles and notable rogues." Tom Moore, if we are to believe Willis, has described the present generation as downright blockheads ; while Mr. O'Connell, by way of driving home the nail, designatesthe whole concern ~ A PALTRY PRESS." These be hard lines, as the sailers say, but " non nester hia sermo." . . _ It will now, we imagine, be admitted that something in the shape of an able and honest Journal is required to " stop the gap." To put such an intellectual vehicle upon the road, we think, would be considered Quixotic, even by so speculative and excellent a judge of such matters as Mr. Peter Purcell. " A Party is necessary," exclaim the Tory parson, and the Liberal placehunter, "or else you will reckon lsut few readers." Upon this point we join issue, and hope, for the honour of civilized humanity, that as the Irish public maintain a sufficient number of newspapers to tell them falsehood, they will vouchsafe to sup port one which, at all risks, is determined to announce to them the truth. " All that mortal art bath wrought, In our cell returns to nought; The molten goli returns to clay, The polish'd diamond melts away. All is altered, all is flown— Nought stands fast but truth alone." In Politics we shall be Radicals, and devoted to the People, utterly regardless of the smiles or frowns of the select and interested few. Such a course, we know, is always perilous and often profitless— " Hard is his task who edits—thankless job— A weekly journal for the factious mob ; Alike undone, or if ho praise or rail ; For this affects his safety, that his sale : He sinks, at last, in luckless limbo set— If loud, for libel—and if dumb, for debt." We shall always be happy, when we can agree with those men who, however they may sometimes err, have rendered efficient service, and made many sacrifices for the cause of liberty; but we shall not advocate that wait-a-while policy which holds out promises to suffering millions which are never likely to be realized— . My father, Time, is weak and grey, With waiting for a better day," We shall judge the Government by its acts, and shall oppose aPremier, be he Whig, Tory, or Radical, when we find him averse to the removal of the remnant of the Penal Code, which, absurdly enough, forbids the appointment of a Roman Catho lic Chancellor ;—a Colonial Secretary. when be resists the Ballot;—or even so amiable and enlightened a Statesman as the present Irish Secretary, when he seems half disinclined to grant an increase of popular privileges to the Irish people. Conscientiously believing that Ireland never can become gene rally happy and contented until she again has the advantage of a DOMESTIC LEGISLATURE, we shall persevere, by arguments and facts, to advocate the REPEAL OF THE UNION, as not more beneficial to Ireland than the Sister Kingdom. We will bring into the fi e ld the heavy artillery of reason , aided by th e light brigade of wit and humour. We shall be staid with the steady, and mirthful with the light-hearted. Pursuing "the even tenor of our way," we shall " run on glittering like a brook in the sunshine," " From grave to gay, from lively to severe." proclaimti de iscover ags T trerhnei h cev e tue hlrLtSa Agriculturist thatrdauwi y t ss e : soslcmwohfa lovers Fe n n rakwsn clearnhoi o l toi fo% hvnatfiahnveaede, shall. tuhht s tnarcb3roi political, and the Lawyer will n em w gg o pa i r t ls h a at ai r :h t ' C i o; o m of ; theu. our tr le THE t GSPapzohery negligencettstsie WORLD"me:aand dssshall o e interests of the Merchant and Manufactu fi r n e d r shall recfeivde at our close - taehed at t t o en t t h ion e d ot t h he United ; we eshal S l v ta ic k e e vrl o i u l our garl u an s robes about us" with the Poet ; v i s i t the studio o' as o d ft a h n e d o A s l in r :g is in t and E d ve e r a y l n ou u r m i b m e p r a o r f ti , a , l criticism THE Nvo a ß t the D Theatre.WOßLD," in richness hness and variety will be a Magazine ; and arrange men t s have been made to embellish its columns with sketches from some of the best pen cils of the day.

DossoLA, SEPT. 19.—Proceeding on my journey, I had to pass the Simplon on the 15th. And here I must stop to say that it was only the merciful interpo sition of Providence which enables me to address you at this moment. We had no sooner passed the village of Simplon than we found ourselves overtaken by a most violent storm of thunder, lightning, and rain, which, it appears, had been raging on the Italian side of the mountain for the whole day, without any appearance of it on the Swiss side, excepting a few heavy clouds, and now and then a little drizzling rain. On reaching the pass of Gondo, the appearance was most awful ; rain such as I never yet saw in England, and cascades from the tops of the perpendicular mountains, some thousand feet high, falling in all directions, crossing the road in various places with the force and volume of a mill-stream. In addition to which, stones, some of them as large as a bushel basket, were continually falling near us from the tops of the mountains, and frequently we were obliged to get out of the carriage in the midst of this pelting rain to re move the obstructions. One of the galleries was broken through in two places, and our carriage was nearly overturned in passing through. To return was as dan gerous as to proceed, and on we went, expecting every instant to he our last. When we were passing the little village of Gondo a man came running out from a cottage imploring us not to proceed, for that a carriage (of a German family), about half an hour before, in endea vourinc, to pass, was upset by th e casca d e w hi c h f e ll from above, ,and the carriage, horses, and postillion carried into the torrent and dashed to pieces —that is, the carriage. The party were saved with a good duck ing and a few bruises, but they lost nearly all their lug gage. We now came to a stand still, and took refuge in a miserable public-house, where we spent three days. The landlord of the public-house, with six or seven other persons, who assisted the Germans out of the river, were ultimately cut off by the falling of immense portions of the rocks on each side of them, so that they could not move 100 yards on either side, and were obliged to remain there (where we ourselves saw them), exposed to the pelting storm, till early next morning, when the rain abating, the neighbours were enabled to draw them to the other side of the river by ropes, &c. After remaining at Gondo for three days we resolved to try and get out of the miserable hole on foot, for as to moving a carriage it could not be thought of. Having. therefore, taken five men as guides and to carry as much luggage as we could, we started off, and I am happy to say arrived safely at Domo Dossola after a great deal of fatigue and a walk over mountains, where I think the foot of man never yet trod, of about 16 miles. Is the former part of my letter I informed you how matters were at Gondo, but this was nothing to the awful scene of destruction which we saw for miles below Isella. Here the road in many places for half a mile together was completely annihilated—not a ves tige remained. The river had formed for itself a new bed, and a deep and mighty torrent swept by the naked base of the mountain where but a few hours before existed one of Napoleon' s greatest monuments. Bridges also were carried away without leaving a single stone to record where they onee stood. A beau tiful one of five arches in stone, newly erected, shared the same fate. Indeed, it would require a volume to describe the lamentable wreck we witnessed. I am greatly at a loss to know what steps to take respecting my carriage, as I am sur e a mont h w i ll be a very short time to make the road at all practicable, and there is some talk that the Sardinian Government on whom four-fifths of the expense will fall, intend not to renew it. The melancholy intelligence has just come here that a French Baron and his lady followed us over the mountains, the latter riding on a mule, when the mule slipped and went over a precipice with the lady on his back, and both were dashed to atoms with the guide. I have just spoken to a man who saw the bodies. Two diligences, which were, about half an hour behind us, could get no further than the last refuge, which has been abandoned some years, so that they were obliged to break open the doors, and ab out twenty persons, wet through to the skin, passed th e nig h t w i thout e i t h er fire, meat, or drink. We copy the following singular paragraph from a New York Paper :—er Charles Kean —Charles Kean, quit the stage for a couple of months, or you will ruin your health. During the last week you have been play ing against Death—try it no more. The attention of the subscribers in attendance in the after noon was chiefly directed to the Cesarewitch Stakes, which will be decided at Newmarket on Wednesday in the ensuing meet ing. It will be seen that the speculation on it is confined to fillies of a moderato class ; foremost in the list is Cruiskeen, a IN inner at Lichfield and Liverpool, who opened at 4 to 1, and was backed so eagerly, that in a few minutes the offers against her fell 3 to 1 ; Mickleton Maid then came, found several zea lous supporters, and closed at 5 to 1, takers; this had a slight effect against the Irish filly, who left at 7 to 2 (taken). Prime fit was backed to 6 to 1, and Joannina at an average of 15 to 2, but neither to much money. The Derby betting was flat ; 13 to I was offered against Muley Ishmael, and one bet of 1,000 to 75 laid against him; 20 to 1 was taken about Launcelot, and offered against Glenorchy. We have quoted Perseus at 27 to 1, which waa taken, but it is necessary lo add, that about the same time three points more were laid in another part of the room.

Out of twenty cases selected, many of which were considered incurable, nineteen of them were effectually cured by these won derful remedies. His Majesty Louis Philippe has in consequence issued an order that the surgeons in his army and navy may in future be supplied with them. The immense number of cures that are effected every day by their means almost staggers belief. It should be observed that in most cases the Ointment and Pills should be used conjointly. They may be obtained at all respectable Chemists and Druggists throughout the kingdom, or at the establishment of the Proprietor, 13, Broad-street-buildings, City. MORE INDIAN MURDERS IN FLORIDA. Indian hostilities have broken out afresh. On the 22d ult., the Indians attacked Fort M'Clure, wounded one volunteer and killed ten horses. On the 27th, they attacked a party of volunte ers on O range Lak e , kill e d and took prisoners the whole party, with the exception of one horse—number not ascertained —two whites killed. On the 28th, as the steamer R. K. Call, was proceeding down the Suwannee, she was twice fired on by a party of Indians, about 20 in number. Capt. Wood and the pilot returned the second fire and killed one Indian. One of the deck hands of the Call was wounded. HORSE STEALING.—Horse stealing is becom prevalent in Radnorshire and Breconshire. A gang, who are suspected to come from the neighbourhood of Birmingham, have been scouring these counties, and in several instances have been successful in taking off some of the nag and poney breed. As a wild beast caravan was crossing the Cayuga last w ee k it fell through the bridge. An elephant escaped from the caravan in the water, swam ashore, and seemed highly delighted with his adventure.— American Paper. Messrs. Peel, Williams, and Peel, of Soho Inn Works, Ancoats, have recently turned their attention to the manufacture of locomotive engines, for Rail roads ; and on Wednesday trial was made of their first engine, on the Liverpool and Manchester line. It is appropriately named the " Soho," and in point of exter nal finish and appearance, greatly excels any we have previously seen. The dimensions of its principal parts are as follow :—Diameter of working wheels, 5 ft. 6 in. ; ditto of cylinders, 11 in. ; length of stroke, 1 ft. 6 in. ; number of tubes, 85, and the other parts in proportion. The general form and disposition of the parts of this engine resemble those of the Liverpool and Manches ter and Grand Junction Vines ; the only difference being in the mode of working the valves. There are no eccentrics, but in place of them two spur wheels staked on to the crank axle, driving two other wheels of equal diameter placed immediately over them, and running in a frame supported by the crank axle, so as to preserve the distance between the centres constantly the same and unaffected by the motion of the engine on its springs. The wheels last mentioned are attached to a short axle or shaft, carrying at each end a small crank arm, which drives a connecting rod attached to the valve spindle. There is likewise a very important and creditable improvement in the construction of the striking lever for reversing the motion, which we are unable to describe intelligibly without the aid of a draw ing. The results of the experiments on Wednesday, during a ,trip from Manchester to Liverpool, with the nine A. M. first class train, consisting of seven carriages, each weighing five tons, are thus reported by Mr. Ed ward Woods, the superintendent engineer : Weather very wet.

Previous to this experiment, the " Soho" had been running a fortnight with passengers on the Liverpool and Manchester line, and during that time Mr. Wood informs us, " no failure has taken place, and the trains have usually been brought in before their time." These results must be as satisfactory L they are creditable to Messrs. Peel, and we are glad to find that their spirit and enterprise have met with such distinguished success.— Manchester Courier. THE WOOL MARKET. LEEDS,—Our markets are quite as bad as any we have had to record for the last two months, notwith standing this season of the year has always been consi dered the most active in the demand for the home trade. We are convinced that the only obstacle to a very good demand for woollen goods generally, is to be found in the difficulties thrown in the way of discounts, and the almost total impossibility of procuring change in small notes or sovereigns for the necessary purposes of trade ; in fact, nothing but the first-rate paper will go up at all, and if a person, be he never so respectable and easy in his wordly affairs, unless he keeps an ac count at a bank, he has no chance of procuring dis counts, unless done by a private hand and at an enor mous sacrifice. BRADFORD.—Lower qualities of wools are in better demand and prices for them have tightened. The finer qualities are not so much in request, but their prices re main the same. The yarn-market continues extremely steady, and, although business is not carried on in so extensive a manner as has been usual, and purchases are made cautiously, yet the demand and prices are toler able. The stocks of pieces are very small. Indeed the prices of pieces and the high price of the material make the manufacturers desirous of doing as little business as possible. We hear that some extensive orders have been received from Spain, which will most likely brighten up this market a little. HUDDERSFIELD.-Our market to-day was much the same as last week. There was a moderate demand for heavy woollens, and all other descriptions of winter goods, both in the hall and the warehouses ; the wool irket was rather dull, and prices continue without much variation. DEWSBURY.—On Monday last a little more business was done in the blanket line than for some weeks back, but piece goods were scarcely inquired after. In fact, trade here is anything but in a healthy state. ROCHDALE.—The market was pretty well attended on Monday, though not quite so much business done as last week, which was owing to the purchasers offer ing a trifle less for flannels ; on the whole, last week's prices were pretty well maintained. Some few flannels were sold at about Is. per couple less, but the reduction was by no means general. WAKEFIELD,—The scarcity of deep combing wools mentioned in our last report still continues, and, if pos sible, is still more felt than last week ; the heavy pres sure of the Money Market has, however, hitherto pre vented any improvement in price. Short wools arc in fair demand at late quotations. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. The intention of the Company to discontinue, during the winter months, the last down train which now runs at a quarter before eight, has quite horror-stricken those gentlemen who were in the habit of enjoying their wine, and the ladies their tea, with their friends in London previous to returning home by the train. Nothing is to run from London after a quarter-past six ! The day for the commencement of their new regulation is, however, not yet decided on, and we trust that the Directors will so far see their own in terest as to postpone it sine die. The traffic by the railway has so much increased of late, that it has driven some of the short stage vehicles off the road ; yet still there are several left by which pas sengers can be conveyed after a quarter-past six o'clock, the proprietors of whom chuckle at the proposed alteration. Nothing can be so inju rious to any conveyance as the alteration of time. In th e present instance not one person in a hundred may know of the alteration till he has arrived in breathless haste at the station, and met with a disappointment. The discontinuance of this most important train may suit the convenience of the official gentlemen in atten dance at the respective stations, very well to enable them to retire to their homes at an earlier hour, but we are satisfied it will be an inconvenience to the public, and a great injury to the Company. • The conveyance of sixty sheep in one train, a quan tity of cattle, some gentlemen's carriages, horses, and the like, during the past week, has given a new feature with respect to the utility of the conveyance trains. But this kind of traffic is yet in its infancy. The works between Romford and Brentwood are proceeding with great rapidity, but have been delayed by the late heavy rains. It is a fixed regulation with the contractors not to allow their men to work on rainy days. Those between the temporary terminus at the London end and Brick-lane are also nearly completed ; but we apprehend that when the line is opened to Brick lane, great inconvenience will be experienced by pas sengers, without some good regulations. Brick-lane crosses from Whitechapel church to Bethnal-green, passing Spitalfields church and Messrs. Truman and Hanbury's brewery, and it is beyond (to the north) of this church and brewery that the railway is to cross, and nearly half a mile from Whitechapel church—a very inconvenient situation, without due regulation as regards omnibuses.—Essex Mercury. TIIE OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE.-- The glorious results of steam navigation in the Great West have often been the themes of the orator's elo quence and the poet's inspiration. It has converted the desert into a theatre of wonders in art and civilization, and filled a region of immense extent with homes of peaceful and contented enjoyment. But our friend of the Cincinnatti Gazette takes another view of the case, in the following paragraph :—" One can hardly seri ously coutemplate the facilities of travel, which confer so many advantages, without a painful thought of the freights of villains with which every train of cars and every boat is loaded. I see the Cincinnati Races ad vertised for the 7th of October, and I cannot but feel s orrowful, as I recollect the means that exist to bring together the congregations of those who live by preying upon the simple ones of society. Time was when the gamblers of New Orleans and of New York, and of Norfolk, and of St. Louis, could not meet conveniently at Cincannati, for co ncen t rat i ng t h e i r d epre d a ti o ns." There is no truth in the statement that any fracas occurred at the Albion Tavern, Great Russell street, on F-iday last. No such occurrence took place there then or at any other time. BOW-STREET. Tkomas Eaton, a law-student, Wm stands charged on suspicion with causing the death of a carpenter, named William Crowe, by violently asaulting him in King-street, Holborn, on the night of the 28th of May, last, was yesterday brought up for final examination. The deceased, it will be remembered, was on his way home from a benefit society on the night in question, accompanied by several of his friends, and being met by some young men, with whom an altercation took place, a general fight ensued, in which he received a fall, or a blow in the side, the consequence of which was an infla illation of the lungs, which caused his death in a few days after the occurrence. The prisoner was remanded until the surgeon, who had attended the deceased during his illness, and who gave evidence at the Coroner's Inquest, would ar rive in town to have his depositions taken, preparatory to the case being sent to the Sessions. Mr. Flower attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson, as in the former examination, for the defence. Mr. Calthorpe, house-surgeon of Charing-cross Hos pital, being sworn, was examined nearly as follows ; Mr. HALL—Were you called upon to attend a person named Crowe on the 28th of May last?—Mr. Calthorpe—l recollect the circumstance perfectly well. Mr. HALL—What opinion did you then form as to the cause of death ? Mr. Calthorpe—The man died from intlamation of the lungs, which was caused by a blow on the fifth rib. Mr. HALL—Could it be possible that a blow of the fist might cause the wound you observed? Witness— I have no doubt that it might. Mr. Clarkson Would not a fall cause such a wound as might lead to inflammation ? Witness—l think that either a fall or a blow might cause it. Mr. Clarkson Were there any external injuries apparent when you first saw the deceased ? Witness —I did not then examine him so minutely as to ob serve any injuries on the skin. Mr. HALL—Your evidence goes to show that death might have been occasioned from the effects of a fall or a blow ; what time did you first see the deceased ? Witness—At the time I before mentioned, and he died on the .sth of June. Mr. HALL—Was be brought to you to be examined ? Witness—l was then living at Charing Cross Hospi tal, and he was brought there. Mr. HALL—Describe what you saw when you first examined him. Witness—l found an injury in the side of which he complained very much, and subsequently, at the post mortem examination, I discovered that the fifth rib was broken, the results of which were inflama tion of the pleura or lining membrane of the .lungs, to gether with a profusion of the lymph or serum. Mr. HALL—You are certain the inflamation arose from the wound he received ? Witness—Certainly, from the fracture of the rib, as I have already stated. Mr. HALL—And that might have arisen from a fall or a blow. Mr. Clarkson—Was the deceased ever treated for a fracture in the ribs ? Witness—He was treated for an inflamation of the lungs. Mr. Clarkson—He was bled, was he not ? Wit ness—Yes, freely ; but I was not the person who or dered the treatment, although I bled him three or four times. Mr. Clarkson—Did.his arm on that occasion receive any punctures which presented an unusual character or appearance ? Witness—l am not aware that it did. Mr. Clarkson—Not such as would arise from an incision made by a foul lancet ? Witness—Not at all. Mr. Clarkson presumed that as the case was about to be submitted to the decision of a Jury, the prisoner would be allowed to put in bail, as he had done since the first examination. Mr. HALL said he would accept of bail in the same amount as he had done on the last occasion. The several witnesses having signed their depositions, were then bound over, and the prisoner was admitted to bail, himself in 3001. and two sureties in 1501. each, for his appearance at the next session of the Central Criminal Court. HATTON-GARDEN. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF RAPE AGAINST A PUBLICAN.—George Cant, a very respectable looking, middle aged man, was placed at the bar, charged with violating the person of Jane Bollum. Mr. Pelham appeared as solicitor for the prosecution, and called the prosecutrix, an interesting looking young girl, who stated that she entered the service of the pri soner, who keeps the Windsor Castle Tavern, in High Holborn, on Monday last, as barmaid. That on Thurs day morning last the prisoner made advances to her, which she repulsed, and threatened to tell her mistress, ' the prisoner's wife. That all she had had to drink during the day was a small glass of half-and-half with her dinner. That at tea time the prisoner handed her a cup of tea, and shortly afterwards she was taken That she fainted, and when she recovered she found her self lying on her bed, but with her clothes on, and the prisoner by her side, taking indecent liberties with her. That he placed his hand on her mouth, to prevent her screaming, when she again fainted, and that on recovery she found herself alone, and had rea son to suppose that she had been violated. At this time it was daylight, and she saw the prisoner coming iuto her room, when she said—" You villain, I shall tell your wife." That she went down stairs, and knocked at his wife's door, who refused to hear what she had to say, accusing her of drunkenness, and desir ing her to quit the house. But the prisoner told her to go down stairs, and he would speak to her. That she immediately left the house and went to her brothers, and told his wife what had occurred, and that she was then examined by a surgeon. Her testimony was corroborated by that of her sister in-law and of Mr. Quickett, the surgeon, who had exa mined her. Mr. Williams, who appeared for the defence, said he had evidence to prove that the statements of the prose cutrix were utterly untrue. Mr. COMBS said he thought he could not go into that evidence as that would be trying the case. There was a prima facie case to send to a jury. The evidence of the witnesses had not been shaken by cross-examination, and there did not appear any thin.. against the character of the prosecutrix. However, he would consider the subject, and would remand the prisoner until Wednesday. The prisoner, who declared his entire innocence, was then removed in custody. INDECENT ASSAULT.—In the early part of the morn . ing, a young man, of very forbidding appearance, but who was genteelly dressed, and who stated his name to be Edward Moon, was committed for trial on a charge of indecently assaulting a boy, ten years of age. The details of the case were most disgusting, and wholly unfit for publication. It was stated in the office that the friends of the prisoner are most respectable, and reside in the neighbourhood. SPECTACLES UPON A NEW CONSTRUCTION FOR IMPERFECT SIGIIT.—The numerous and very ill effects which have daily come under the notice of the Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, Opticians and Aurists to the Royal Family, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, and 96, Cheepside, from the use of improper Spec tildes, and being also incorrectly adapted to vision by inexperienced persons, have tended to injure the sight to an alarming extent. Messrs. Solomons, after thirty years' extensive practice and experience, have invented spectacle lenses, which will be found to surpass anything of the kind yet laid before the public , they not only preserve the si g ht, but, immediatel y t hey • are placed before th e im p erfect vision, either b y day or candlelight, the s i g ht becomes cool and p leas ant , and is at once brought back to its natural and original state, and the most m inute p article is seen with exact distinct ness. The Messrs. Solomons' Voice C on d uctor, f or deaf persons, is not the least perceptible, and gives'im mediate relief. These new Inventions are patronised by the Royal Family, and have the sanction and unqualified approbation of the principal me mbers of the medical pro fession. Testimonials from pe rsons highest dis tinction of the are for inspection, who have had their sight most seriously injur e d, and w ho have derived the greatest advantage from the Messrs. Solomons' new invention.— No agents nor travellers are employed more. At first it is descried like a low and irregular white cliff--and by degrees, as the distance diminishes ? the cliff fades away into lofty buildings, surmounted by gilded domes, and en v i rone d b y ta ll an d state l y m i nare t s . First, the Mosque of St. Sophia becomes distinguished from the mass by its broad and massive-looking dowse standing conspicuous from all others, like a giant, over topping in size the ordinary crowd of men. Then ano ther and another mosque separates itself, until the con fused mass is arranged into the semblance of a great and rich city ; the public buildings of which look down in patronizing grandeur on the smaller private houses, while in many cases, both are only to be seen here and there peeping forth from the ever-verdant trees which ) surround them on all sides, and make the city appear to the eye more like a huge garden, studded with summer seats, than the large and overgrown capital of a mighty empire. This mass of marble, wood, clay, and verdure, seems at first as if it was but one city ; but by degrees the Bosphorus opens, and divides one part into Asia and another into Europe : still, as a nearer approach is made, the scene again changes, and the waters of " The Golden Horn" divide the European part into two. At this spot, equidistant from both continents, the traveller seems as if he were in an immense basin, sur rounded with buildings on all sides. To the north is the Bosphorus, studded with palaces and villages on both banks, until the Asiatic and European shores seem to meet. To the east stands the village of Scutari, in Asia, with its gilded and whitewashed barracks gleaming in the sun, and reflecting its brilliancy upon the less sized, but still gaudy buildings which it contains. To the west is " The Golden Horn," an arm of the Bos phorus, which runs up on the European side, stretching as far as the eye can reach, bearing upon its bosom an immense variety of ships at anchor, and thousands of little boats skimming across it in every direction. On the south bank of this right arm of the Bosphorus stands Stamboul, commencing with the low irregular gilded palace of the Seraglio, and stretching on with palace, mosque, dome, minaret, and tower, unti: the view is lost. On the opposite side it is again attracted by the less stately buildings of Galata, Pere, and Tophana, Co vering the hill from the summit to the water's edge. Thus far, and thus far only, does " The City of the Sultan" hold forth a pleasing and grand appearance to the wondering eye of the stranger. The moment his foot touches the low dirty wharfs and quays at Galata, which is opposite what is strictly the Turkish city, the scene is, as if by magic, suddenly changed. He finds nothing but dirty streets, filled with ruins and squalid looking buildings ; the shops are without doors and win dows for the most part. He naturally thinks that these are but some of the back lanes, and walks on, in hopes of finding some thoroughfare not absolutely disgusting from filth ; but he only meets greater squalor, the longer he walks. Few of the streets are more than twenty feet wide, many of them not twelve, and even some not more than six, four, or three. Windows may be found jut ting out corner-wise from one side to the other, so that in many cases it would be easy for opposite neighbours to open each others' windows with their hands. Not a great many of the streets can boast of any raised way for foot passengers, and even those that can do so, yield them up to carts, carriages, horses, and other cattle, at the caprice of the beast or his driver. These streets, or rather narrow lanes, are composed of irregular whin and soft stones, put together without any order or design. As the stranger walks along, he will find some attention necessary to avoid trampling on the many homeless dogs he finds lying everywhere on the street and trottoirs, and so very lazy that nothing but a smart stroke with a stick will make them get up. His patience will also be pretty well tried with the barking and snarling of such as may chance to be on their legs, and who know a Frank stranger as well as a London sharper knows a country bumpkin just come to town. They are, how ever, easily put to flight. It will also be found neces sary to keep a 100k -out, both before and behind, to see if there is no one coming galloping along, regardless of the streets, or those that are on them ; or mayhap .a group of eight, ten, or twelve porters, with a hogshead of sugar, or a pipe of wine, trudging along at an ordi nary trot, who are generally good enough to shout out when it is too late to get out of their way ; or a string of asses, mules, pack-horses, or camels, who, with their loads stretching completely across the thor o ughfare, threaten to knock down any one that does not take refuge in a shop or cross lane. The carts and carriages, especially those drawn by bullocks or buffaloes, are worthy also of notice, as the horns of these brutes often occupy the entire breadth of the street, and a smart rap with a stick is necessary, in order to make room for a passenger. As by degrees Galata (the Wapping of Constantino ple), has been traversed, and the stranger begins to as cend to Pera, he will find the shelving streets more clean, but more difficult to walk upon, as the rain run ning down has contrived to make an irregular rut for itself. In Pera, there are fewer shops, but these are of a better kind, many of them having doors and win dows, which, although not exactly like those of Western Europe, yet look well, after viewing the squalid affairs in Galata. The streets here are more passable, the people better dressed, and the stoppages from carts, horses, &e.. of rarer occurrence ; but still the imagina tion wanders in vain for anything to solace and satisfy it, after the hopes raised from an outside view of the city. After a day of weary toil, through lanes and streets, the best of which are worse than the worst in any other capital in Europe, the stranger will probably console himself with the idea, that in Stamboul or the Turkish part of the town, on the opposite side of the port or " Horn," be may yet find streets worthy of the ideas which still haunt his excited imagination. • In Stamboul there are one or two large spaces of ground, used to exercise the troops upon. There is also a parade, where the fashionables of the Turkish Empire promenade on fine days ; and which during the Rama zan, in November and December, is crowded with all the elite of the place, including even the Sultan him self ; but, excepting these, there is not one good street or square in it all. Some of them are better than any o❑ the Frank side ; but some of them are infinitely worse, as a good shower of rain is certain to plough up three or four streets in a few minutes, leaving ruts extending for a quarter of a mile, and varying from six inches deep to three feet, into which the unfortunate traveller will fall, unless great care is taken in passing them. The shops here are more varied than in the Frank quarter ; but still they are at the best but mise rable. One street is filled with dealers in old iron; another with shoemakers ; a third with carpenters, pipe -makers, trunk-makers, marble-cutters, fruit merchants, Ste.-Sec. These shops being little square boxes, varying from six to nine feet in front, generally quite open, where the artisan sits working at his calling, or smoking his pipe, the never-wanting appendage of a workman in Constan tinople. Many fires occur in consequence, as workmen may be seen beating the red-hot ashes out of the bowl among the wooden chips at their feet ; and the wooden building, if once on fire, would burn at least to the ground, taking with it, in all probability, as companions of its fall, all the others in the street. The reader will have observed in the newspapers an account of a dread ful fire which occurred recently in Pera, but which, it seems, is to be productive of some benefit, as the Go vernment are intending to cause improvements to be made. Amidst all this filth, squalor, and irregularity, many splendid public buildings are to be seen; but there is not one good range of private buildings, nor one good street-front in the whole city ; and the stranger will return home across the Golden Horn to Pera, wearied and tired by the horrid nature of the footing which he must tread, and most probably will sxclaiin that Con stantinople, with all its grandeur, is the, most uncom fortable-looking place in the world. The only situation to have a gsod view of this varied place, and its many suburbs, is either from the " Tower of Galata," on the Frank side, or the " Seraskier's Tower," in Stamboul. Let the traveller take a view from the balcony of one of these, and he will find his toil of ascent well repaid, as his eye will be feasted by one of the most varied sights the world can boast of. From that elevation nothing of the dirt and filth of the streets can be seen. The eye can roam from one pl ace to another, without wearying the feet. Industry seems to have vied with nature, in the production of all that is wonderful in landscape, in water, and in buildi ngs. Europe and Asia, maw-land and islands, seas and rivers, palaces and mosques, parade-grounds and burial-fields ; ships-of-war and tiny boats—all lie below the feet, presenting to the eye a more superb view perhaps than the imagination can create in her most fantastic wan derings.—London• Saturday Journal. AGED GOOSE.—A AN noose on a farm in Scotland, about ten years since, ( 7 ,,f the clearly ascertained age of eighty-one years, healthy and vigorous, killed whilst s i tt i ng over her eggs, by a sow.t was was supposed she might have lived still many years, and her fecundity appeared to be permanent. Other geese have been proved to reach the age of 70 years. It is a well authenticated fact, that in 1.8'4 there was a goose living in the possession of Mr. Howson, of Glen ham, near Market Kasen, Lincolnshire, which was then upwards of a century old. It had been throughout that term in the constant possession of Mr. Hewson's forefathers and himself, and on quitting his farm he would not suffer it to be sold with his other stock, but made a present of it to the in-coming tenant, that the venerable fowl might terminate its career on the spot where its useful life had spent such a length of days.—, The Poultry Yard. THE HACKNEY CARRIAGE ACT.—At the close of a charge made on Friday at Marlborough street against a hackney - co achman for furious driving, Inspector Beresford said that the greatest difficulty existed under the new Hackney Carriage Act in secur ing drivers who had ?committed any offence. They were constantly in the habit of transferring th e i r b a d ges f rom one to another in order to avoid detection. I t was a l so the custom o f the proprietors to change their plates from one vehicle to another, and so avoid punishment. NA TIO NAL BANK OF IRELAND, )3, OLD BROAD STREET, LONDON. OCTOBER 7, 1539.
