(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) After the examination of other witnesses whose evidence was not material, at a little before four the case for the plaintiff was closed, when the Jury retired for refreshment, and on their return into Court, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL proceeded to address them. He commenced by expressing his great surprise that the case for the plaintiff should have terminated so suddenly and so abruptly, because, considering the nature of the facts which the plaintiffs had undertaken to establish, and the descrip tion of persons he had called to support them, it did appear astonishing that his Learned Friend should have been con tent with such an imperfect and unsatisfactory conclusion. He could only account for the great boldness of his Learned Friend in the case by the circumstance of his having been kept in complete ignorance of the most important particulars and most essential facts ; because he (the Solicitor-General) could not believe that the parties who had instructed his Learned Friend were not perfectly aware of the nature of the defence that was to be set up, and the manner in which it was proposed by the defendant to establish a gross and scan dalous fraud committed by the plaintiff. The real question between the parties was this, and these were the facts that he (the Solicitor-General) would undertake to prove for the jury: —The case of the plaintiff was, that the horse which ran at Newmarket, and beat the Duke of Rutland's horse, Crenoline, and which ran also the day after, winning easily at a gallop —as no doubt lie might do, the truth being now known—was a colt got by The Saddler out of the dam Mab. The case of the defendant was that the horse was not-Running Rein at all, but a colt by Gladiator, out of a dam belonging origi nally to Sir Charles Ibbotson, and that it had the name of Running Rein imposed on it, being originally called Maccabeus, having been entered for certain stakes under that designation. That was the question at issue, namely, whether the horse that won the last Derby was The Saddler colt or Gladiator colt ? What he (the Solicitor General) meant to allege on the part of the defendant was against Goodman in fact—for he would put the nominal plaintiff entirely aside in the transaction. He would prove that he and a Mr. Henry Higgins, with another or others, were the parties engaged in a concert or conspiracy for the purpose of running horses above the proper age ; and he would prove that in pursuance of that concert, in September, 1841, Good man purchased the Gladiator colt at Doncaster, which was born on the 17th of April, 1840, the dam being the property of Sir Charles Ibbotson. Before the colt was purchased by Goodman it had been entered for the Derby of 1843, on the nomination of a Mr. Watson, as " Bay colt by Gladiator, dam Mab, foaled in 1833, by Capsicum,' and Goodman pur chased him with all its engagements. Me bought some other fillies at the same time, and he paid for that colt and became its owner in 1841. The colt was then taken to Northampton by the way of Weedon, and it was put into the stables of the George, on the application of Mr. Henry Higgins, whose cousin kept that establishment. Mr. Worley, a re spectable farmer residing near Northampton, was then in duced to take the colt into his paddocks. It remained there until January, 1842, and during that time it met with an accident—a severe wound on the near fore arm, just above the knee—in attempting to clear the fence in its fright. Mr. Gurling, a veterinary surgeon of Northampton, cured the wound, and in July the colt was sent back to the George. From thence it was taken to Vigo Cottage, where Mr. Henry Higgins lived with Mr. Cousins ; and afterwards it was trans ferred to a coachmaker's yard at Northampton. From that place it was removed to a paddock taken by Mr. Sutton, an attorney of Northampton, at the instance of Henry Higgins, when, in again endeavouring to clear the fence in its fright, it received another cut in precisely the same place as the former. This wound was also cured by . Mr. Gurling; but they both left an indelible mark in the animal. On the 21st of September, 1842, a person named Watson, broke the Gla diator colt, and took him up to London. Watson had been subpoenaed, but he would not attend, although every dili gence had been used to compel him. They were three days on the road; the first day they stopped for the night at Woburn, the second at St. Alban's, where it appeared Wat son met with an accident. On the 24th the Gladiator colt was brought by him to Haines's stables, in Langham-place, and that brought the case to a point to which the jury should direct their closest attention, because here it was that the at tempt was first made to palm off the Gladiator colt as Running Rein. The case of the plaintiff was that The Saddler colt, Run ning Rein, was brought to London in January, 1842, sent down to Bean's, at Finchley, until the 24th of September fol lowing, brought up to London to Haines's, till the 27th of September, and then taken by Drewitt to Smith's, at Epsom. Now came the importance of George White's evidence. The plaintiff was bound to produce unexceptionable evidence to prove that the colt was that which he was described to be; but Bean had told a tissue of falsehoods, and there was no evidence whatever to establish the identity of the animal. Why was not Mrs. Bean called? The fact was, it would be proved by several persons who had no interest in the matter, and who could not be mistaken, that all Bean had sworn about the colt having been taken from him in September, 1842, was untrue ; for that it was in his possession until the February following. A document was produced, addressed to Bean, purporting to be an order for the horse, and dated 24th September ; but was it not fair to suppose that those persons who could commit the fraud of substituting one horse for another, would not stick at fabricating a thing of the kind ? Besides, it was suspiciously clear ; and it had no authenticated mark—such as a post mark on it— to denote the day of its delivery. The jury should have their attention drawn to the fact—a remarkable fact—that between Haines's stables and Bean's house at Finchley, though short the distance; and small, •the .time, the colt appeared"to have changed llia colour. The cbwkeeper swore that he was a rusty dark at Finchley ; but Rayner, the ser vant of Haines, swore it was a bright hay while he remained with them ; and it was further sworn that he continued of that colour while at Epsom. It was curious, also, that evi dence should have been given of a little injury that happened to the colt at Bean's, although the plaintiff pretended'not to know the course that was to be taken by the defendant. In September, 1842, the colt (Gladiator, according to the de fendant) was taken to Smith's, at Epsom, and there was no doubt that it got the name of Running Rein at that time. He was called Maccabeus at Mr. Worley's, in Northatnpton. He remained at Smith's till October, 1843, when he was sent down to perform the engagements of Running Rein at New market. He then beat the Duke of Rutland's Crenoline. That was a two-year old race; but Gladiator was a three-y Oar old colt. Suspicions were excited with respect to the identity of the horse, and an objection was made to the payment of the stakes by the Duke of Rutland. An inquiry was thereupon instituted, and Lord George Bentinck was satisfied that a fraud had been committed, by substituting one horse for an other. He took care to have his witnesses ready; and that was a matter of charge against him by his (the Solicitor- General's) Learned Fnend, who had accused him of clothing and feeding the boy Kitchen— AB.

OLD COURT. Edwin Andrews and Joseph Pratt, two lads, 17 years of age, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging them with a burglary ix the dwelling-house of Robert Seddon, and stealing a watch, and moneys of the value of 71., his property. As it appeared that the prisoners had previously borne a good character, and this was their first offence, the COMMON SERGEANT passed upon them a lenient sentence—twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour, their offence having rendered them liable to be transported for fifteen years. Christopher Watling, 53, a person holding a subordinate situation in the Excise, was indicted for stealing two ounces and a half of tobacco, value sixpence, the property of the London Dock Company. . _ Mr. BALLANTINE prosecuted, and Mr. DOANE appeared for the prisoner. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was ordered to be imprisonmed and kept to hard labour for twelve months. Mr. CoCknoux=oll, no. Baron ALDEusom—Mr. Cockburn only said he was tsent to Lie trainer's to be trained. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was glad to find that he had mistaken his Learned Friend. The boy was brought to the stable, and Goodman refused Lord Stradbroke, who came on the part of the Jockey Club, to let a veterinary surgeon examine the horse's mouth, at the requisition of the Duke of Rutland. Upon this the Stewards of the Newmarket Meeting decided that Goodman should not be suffered to run a horse again until he had submitted him to such test as should be required. Having carried the history. of the Gladiator colt to that point, he should have to introduce to the notice of the jury another horse which had been used in the furtherance of the conspiracy. A gentleman of the name of Fergusson, -who had an Irish horse named Gonq Away, met with Goodman at the July meetings of 1842, and Good man agreed to hire that horse from September 20, 1842, to September 20, 1843, for the sum of 5001., and half the plates' and stakes he might win with him. On the 6th of January, 1843, Gone Away arrived in England, and Goodman received him from his owner in Liverpool, paying just 4001., and giving his I 0 U for the remainder. He was taken thence to Haines's stables, in Langham-place. The Gladiator colt, after July 1, 1843, was a three-year-old, and had been en tered for the Derby, as already stated, while the property of Sir C. Ibbotson. He had been entered also for the Epsom Spring Meeting under the name of Maccabeus, and it was therefore necessary that Goodman, who had purchitsed him with all his engagements, should have a horse to represent him, while he was in training for the Derby of 1844. It will be proved that Gone Away ran under the name of Maccabeus, accordingly, at the Spring Meeting at Epsom ; and that he was beaten by Captain Flathooker. It was necessary that he should be made as like Maccabeus as possible ; and to make him so his tail was converted from a switch into a rat tail, by docking ; and one of his pasterns, which was white was absolutely dyed black, by a mixture bought from a person named Rossie. That was the reason why the wit ness Smith could not swear to the identity of the animal. The horse Gone Away was a four-year old; while the race was for three-year old horses. It was the intention of Good man to run him for the Gladiator colt at the Derby; but in the meanwhile his owner, Mr. Fergusson, returned to Eng land, and seeing the tricks that had been played With the horse, he put a stop to it, saying, that his horse could win money fairly, and that he would enter him for the Goodwood Cup. Goodman had told him, when he suggested that the identity of the home would be discovered, if he ran under a false name, that Lord George Bentinck had not recognised him at the Spring Meeting at Epsom. Gone Away was then taken to Ireland by Mr. Fergusson, and there he died ; but the Gladiator colt was alive, and ran at the October New market meeting, and also for the Derby, as Running Rein. At the Newmarket and Epsom meetings, Mr. Worley, who had charge of the colt, and Mr. O'Dell, who knew the colt, had not the slightest doubt that Running Rein was the Gla diator colt; and they would distinctly prove his identity, as they saw the Derby won. It was thus traced from hand to hand, from mouth to mouth, and from day to day ; and he (the Solicitor-General) would ask the jury, could there be a _particle of doubt on their minds as to the fact that a gross fraud had been perpetrated, by the substitution of one horse for another, at Epsom and at Newmarket? That being the case, the defendant was clearly entitled to a verdict. The case was adjourned till this day. REMOVED FROM BIRMINGHAM TO LONDON. Just published, price 2s.

The splinter-bar was smashed, and the traces were broken, and his Lordship's niece, who was with him in the carriage, was naturally very much alarmed at the accident. Indeed, an accident to a horse on the wood pavement can scarcely be called an accident any longer. The safe transit of a horse on the wood-work is now the accident, at least such is the opinion entertained in the City; and a letter was received by one of the City authorities, from a gentleman who resides in Regent street, communi cating the information of the dangerous fall of the Lord Mayor's horses, and representing that the writer was daily called upon to lend poles, splinter-bars, or portions of harness, to enable people to get their carriages home, and that he had three horses suffering from injuries of the spine, in consequence of severe falls, and struggles to rise on the wood-pavement.. It is believed, in the City, that Punch's fun about paving the streets with horses, is about to be most disastrously realised. PRICE sd.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—LE EDS, JUNE 28.—About an average amount of business has been done in fqreign wool this week, and prices are very firm. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JUNE 28.—There has been a fair amount of sales this week, and prices are firmer, though still below the proportion of the rates at which fresh supplies can be obtained. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JUNE 28.—Sales can be effected at a better price than last week, and sellers appear less anxious to part with their stocks. YORK Woov MARKET, JUNE 27.—Our market conti nues to be well sup lied with wool, the show tip-day being uncommonly large. The quantity did not,' how • ever, exceed the demand, and the whole was sold. Prices were very steady. Mixed lots of good bred:wool, according to quality, 13s. 6d., 13s. 9d., t o 14 s . 6d. ;.‘ locks and cots, Bs. 6d. to 10s. 6d. per stone of 141bs. LEEDS.—The supply of goods brought to our . Poth Halls continue t o b e sma ll er th an usua l, from the circumstance that many of the manufacturers are en gaged with orders. The markets of the week, have been above an average, and prices are a shade higher : shawls, cloakings in new patterns, low cloths; and beavers for the winter trade, are the principle articles in demand, and there is a little more doing in fine cloths, the prices of which are without any alteration. There has been a little more done by the home buyers this week, and the foreign trade continues brisk ; on the whole, there is more business doing than has , been the case for many years at the same period of the year. 11EacsromoRwittie BLANKET MARKET, JUNE 27. There was a good attendance of buyers at this market on Monday last, and good samples fetched the full ad vance. Thursday's market was not so well attended. The manufacturers in the neighbourhood continue to be well employed, and are likely to be so for some time to come. BRADFORD MARKET, TIIURSDA Y.—The business doing in pieces is steadily improving, and as the season advances, a lull and active movement in goods is generally ex pected. Yarns are in steady request, and prices with en upward tendency. The demand for combing wools still continues limited, but there is a degree of firmness ex hibited by the holders, seeing they cannot replace their stocks in the country at the prices offered by the buyers here. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.—We have no improve ment in our cloth market to report this week, and prices for all kinds, except printing cloths, are either stationary or declining in value. Such is also the case with . shirt ings long cloths, &c. These articles have receded within the last few weeks as much as 10 or 12 per cent. in value, and are likely to go still lower, unless very favourable accounts are received by the next Indian mail. There is a large amount of business doing in yarns, more than perhaps was ever known, but still at no improvement in prices. The Greeks and Russians operate most freely.—Leeds Mercury. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. NOTICE TO MARINERS. LIGHTS ON THE COAST OF NORWAY— UDSERE, TORUNGER ISLANDS, &c. The following has been received at Lloyd's, from the Hydrographic-office, dated June 18, 1844 : " The Norwegian Government has given notice that the following lights will be established in the course of the present year:— " Ist. Two fixed lights on the Island of Udsere, in lat. 50 deg. 18 min. N., and lon. 40 deg. 53 sec. 30 min. E., visible from eighteen to twenty miles distant. " 2d.

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS AND COMMANDERS OF VESSELS. Extract of it letter received at Lloyd's from their Agent at Sydney, Cape Breton, dated 12th June, 1844 : " I send you an extract from a provisional statute, whereby all ships wrecked on this coast with passengers are to be taken possession of by the Collector of the Customs, or such other person as the Lieutenant- Governor may appoint, and the proceeds made available for the maintenance and transport of the passengers to their original destinations.

THE ESTABLISHED TEA MARKET, upon Ludgate-bill, No, 8 ; SIDNEY and HALL .Proprietors.—A further FALL of TWOPENCE to FOURPENCE per Pound upon TEAS and COFFE • :S. We have this day lowered Coffees 2d. to 4d. per lb., In consequence of the reduced duties upon Foreign Coffees corning into operation. In the sale of the finest qualities ofCoffees, we have long stood pre-emi nent as the largest purchasers in the port of London. We are now enabled to quote the very choicest quality at a price attainable by all classes of society. The nobility, families, and large consumers of Teas and Coffees, are invited to compare the quality and prices of all goods sold at this Establishment with those of any other house in the metropolis. The best selected qualities have invariably distinguished Sidney and Hall, and their present extensive sale enables them to sell at prices which can only be equalled by the largest wholesale houses. As merchants and importers of Teas direct from China, and the proprietors of several extensive businesses in London and the largest provincial towns, Sidney and Hall flatter themselves that they pos sess facilities for really cheap selling, which few can lay claim to, and enable them to state most confidently that their establishment shall maintain its character, as being one of the first and cheapest in London. The importation of Tea is, this season, of unusually good quality; the quantity is also considerably larger than for many previous years, and the anticipation of still larger shipments has had the effect of lowering prices almost to a level with the lowest period in the history of the tea market. ildney and Hall have therefore much satisfaction in announcing a revised scale of prices, and, confident of superior value, they invite comparison, as tke most :convincing proof of cheapness and confidence. COFFEES. The Public will please to observe that, owing to the duty upon Foreign Coffees being now only 6d per lb., whereas two years ago it was Is. 3d., we are enabled to introduce an entirely new class of Coffees to their not :ee,and we feel assured that a trial is all that is requisite to ensure a.pprobation. a. a.

A savage fellow, named William Cressingham, a grocer in Watling-street, was brought before Sir John Pink, It the Mansion-house, upon a warrant, charging him with having very brutally beaten and otherwise ;abused and ill-treated his wife. The complainant, a young creature of very interesting appearance, stated that her husband, who was a first-rate customer to the gin-shops, had begun to maltreat her a a year ago, which was only half a year after their mar riage, and that he never failed to perform any promises he had made to knock her and kick her about. Of late, however, be bad adopted a new system of torture and in sult, and when she turned her back, he introduced some woman of the town to take her place and her clothes, and the articles by the sale of which they were supported. Sir J. PIRIE, who, with difficulty, restrained his indig nation, during this recital, which was made without any embellishment, or attempt to produce effect, asked the complainant how long it was since he had visited her with this last outrage? She stated that he returned home on Thuri.day, at a quarter after three o'clock in the morning, drunk, and demanded a sovereign from her, and when she refused to accommo date him with the means of getting more drink, he seized her violently by the throat, called her by the most horrible names, and swore he would do for her, and when she still resisted the demand, struck her with all his power on the mouth. As the house in which they lodged was in a different street from that in which they carried on business, the complainant watched him as ho went out, and saw him join a girl of the town, who was waiting for him at the corner. She then followed them and saw them enter the shop, and when the female came out, which was 'not for an hour and a half, she collared her, and pulled from her persona-quantity of tea, which was wrapped in paper she could identify as the property of the house. Sir JOHN PlRlE—Unfortunately that property is your husband's. You have no exclusive claim to it, I sup pose ? The complainant replied in the negative. Sir Jon& PIRIE—I am sorry I shall be obliged to dis charge her, for it is quite evident that she was there with the intention of wronging you. The complainant declared that she had missed several articles of apparel, furniture, and trade, and she had the terrors of an 't union" before her, which she. knew was the most dreadful evil that could befal her. Charles Plummer, brother to the complainant, so lemnly declared that all the poor young woman had said fell short of the atrocity of the conduct of the prisoner, who had threatened to use knives and pistols against the members of her family, as well as against herself. Sir JohN PIRIE—What have you to say prisoner ? The prisoner —Why, lam very sorry, your Lordship, and I'll promise you never to do it again. Sir JOHN PIRIE—You shall not be allowed to leave prison until you produce two good securities in the amount of 50/: each, and be security yourself in the amount of 1001., to keep the peace towards your wife and her brothers, and all other persons, for twelve months, and you must give me forty-eight hours' notice of bail.—The prisoner was then committed.

It is said that you stated you were no repealer, but that you advised every Roman Catholic to become one, and that one reason why you were not a repealer was that you were in the coin mission of the peace.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, " HENRY SUGDEN, Secretary.

I, at this meeting, declared myself to be no repealer, and not, as stated in your letter, which I should hold to be as insulting to my Sovereign as to myself ; but I stated that, in my opinion, the chair was a becoming place for a person holding her Majesty's commission of the peace, when the people, at present, under the powerful shield of the British Constitution, come forward to seek redress for their wrongs. I must here declare, that with the ex ception of myself, they were to a man repealers, and I have no doubt but that money was collected for the purpose you mention after the meeting. I, myself gave a pound to the secretary, to he forwarded to Mr. O'Connell, calling his attention to the fact of my not pay ing it into the repeal fund. As your letter appears to me to call for an explanation of my political opinions, I may here state, that did I really think that repeal would benefit the empire, my holding her Majesty's commission would not prevent me from expressing my opinion upon that question as soon as upon any other. I have now held the commission for nearly twenty years, free and unshackled, governed alone by my sense of honour and justice, and I look upon a questioning of my conduct under those circumstances as an insult.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " CORNELIUS O'BRIEN."

To Cornelius O'Brien, Esq.', ---------- SUDDEN DEATlL—Shortly before eleven o'clock on Thursday night, as one of Hardwick's Hammersmith omni buses was proceeding from town, when passing the Chinese exhibition the conductor was called to by some of the inside passengers to stop. On doing so he wa3 informed that a gentleman, who had got into the vehicle at Piccadilly, was very ill and must be got out into the open air. Both the coachman and conductor rendered every assistance, and by great exertions the gentleman, who was a remarkably heavy man, was got out and carried into the shop of Mr.-De Castro, the chemist, at the corner of Wilton-place, where two sur geons were in immediate attendance and attempted to bleed him, but without success, life being quite extinct. It was subsequently ascertained that the deceased, who appeared to be between sixty and seventy years of age, was a Mr. Samuel Kingston, postmaster, in the High-street, Kensington. His body was immediately removed to St. George's Hospital where it awaits an inquest. COURT CIRCULAR.

On Saturday the annual distribution of the prizes in the faculty of arts took placq. in the theatre of Uni versity College, London, which was densely crowded by a mosCfashionab'e auditory. The Right Hon. Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P., pre sided, ani amongst the gentleman present were observed Lord Auckland, Vice-president of the Colle g e • Dr. Bewring, Mr. W. D. Christie, M.P., Mr. iVer burton, M.P., Sir I. L. Goldsmid, H. Weymouth, Esq., H. Crabbe Robinson ' Esq., Charles Cochr ane , E sq ., & c . The Dean of the Faculty of Arts read the report for the past session, from which it appeared that the num ber of students in the faculty of medicine, not including those who attended the schoolmasters' course, had been 142, and the general conduct of the students had been very satisfactory throughout the session. The vacant chair of natural philosopny has been filled by the re-appointment of Mr. Potter, and in consequence of the large bequests which had lately been made to the College it was confidently hoped the Council would have the power of endowing the professorship permanently. Mr. Graves had retired at the beginning of the session from the professorship of Jurisprudence, and his place had been supplied by Mr. Hargreave, who was formerly a student in the College, but whose high attainments fitted him in every respect for the office of a professor. Amongst other advances which had been made by the students of the College were, that some had already been enrolled amongst members of the Council. One of them was now received into the senate, and a new era had been effected in the constitution of the College by the admission during the past session of three of the former students to be members of the College, with the title of fellows. The gentlemen on whom this distinction had been conferred were Dr. Taylor, Mr. Waley, and Mr. John Richard Quoin. The Noble Chairman then proceeded to distribute the prizes in the following order : UNGLUE LAW.

SIR,—As the steamer Duchess of Kent was coming out of Ramsgate Harbour, yesterday, about one, she ran foul of the brig Concord, which was entering between the pier-heads at the moment. The brig's starboard main-channels were carried away, a n d, no t being able to come to the wind, she ran stem on, the western pier, and shattered her bowsprit to splinters. In the first in stance the fault lay with the brig, in not wearing when she saw the steamer coming out ; but I cannot help thinking that the collision with the steamer might have been avoided by reversing the engines, which was not attempted. The second collision, I think, would have taken place under any circumstances, from the way the brig came in, though the wind was by no means un favourable. Those on board the brig appeared quite paralysed, and though instructions were shouted from the pier -head, no notice was taken of them. I was informed that the vessel, on a former voyage, ran against the same pier. Your obedient servant, July 1. NEWLY-INVENTED SPECTACLES, TELESCOPES, OPERA GLASSES, MICROSCOPES, &c.—Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, Opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Picca dilly, have succeeded in effecting a most scientific im provement in Spectacle and Telescope Lenses, &c., of the greatest transparent power. The extraordinary advantage derived from this invention is that vision becomes preserved and strengthened and very aged per: sons are enabled to employ their sight either by day or candle light at the most minute occupation, and can see with those Lenses of a much less magnifying power, nor will they require the frequent changes to further helps as the Spectacles now in common use. Also newly-in vented Achromatic Waiscoat-pocket Telescopes and Opera Glasses which are invaluable at the sea-side and on the race-course, as - well as at the theatre, &c.—Every kind of Telescope for Shooting, Sea purposes, and upon stand for astronomical observations with the celebrated Lenses of the most clear transparent brilliancy ; the powers are so great and the Lenses so bright and bril liant that minute objects at an (extraordinary distance are brought completely under the eyes.—Sportsmen, Tourists, and sea-side visitors will indeed here have a great treat. Their invisible Voice Conductor gives im mediate relief to old standing extreme cases of deafness. Caution.—Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, Opticians and Aurists, :are not in any way connected with a person of the same name in their immediate neighbourhood, nor in any part of the country. To prevent mistakes, be cautious, and observe.—Only to be had at 39, Albe marle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel. A Supplement to Friday's Gazette was yesterday after noon published, regulating the authority of her Majesty's Consuls-General, Consuls, and Vice-Consuls in the trial of British subjects guilty of offences in the dominions of the Ottoman Porte; and Malta is the place appointed for holding such trials, and the punishment of such offenders. The General Steam Navigation Company's splendid steam-ship Soho, Captain T. Whitcombe, ar rived at Blackwall Pier yesterday, in eighteen hours and-a-half, from Antwerp. The same Company's mail- Tacket Neptune, Captain H. W. Gibbs, arrived off the ower early yesterday from Ilamburgh, with the mail of Friday. DIABOLICAL ATTEDIPT.—Mr. Kirch, the aeronaut, has had a narrow escape from imminent destruction. Hav ing discharged one of his workmen for misconduct, the scoundrel, in revenge, sprinkled the parachute of the balloon, by which he was to ascend on Sunday last, with 'vitriolic acid. Mr. Kirch, and the two other persons who were to go up with him, would have in all probability perished, had not the gas escaped. Searching for the cause of this, he dis covered the infernal project. He found out the perpe trator of this demoniacal act, and denouncing. him, he has been arrested.
