EVENING i.DIT lON MUNSTER UNION MINING COMPAN BAWNEESIIALL, COUNTY OF CORK, JULY.—These mines are situated in the south-western part of the county of Cork, a county very favourable to mining en terprise on account of the strong impregnations of cop per at the surface, and the facilities which the strata afford to mining purposes, the inclination of these rocks being ueacly v 4 ertioal (whilst in Cornwall they are gene rally more horizontal), a circumstance decidedly in fa vour of this unexplored country, as it will facilitate the sinking of shafts to a considerable depth before the use of purpps will be required. Capt. John Kitto is of opinion that he will be able to sink to the eighty fathom level, or even deeper, before any pumps will be found necessary. It may he useful to make a short digression about the strata of the vicinity by way of prelude before en tering into a description of the workings. The layers, or stratification, is in a north of east and south of west direction, having nearly a vertical dip, inclining north ward ; it is of various colours, chiefly light blue and buff colour, vaaying to dark grey, purple, and light green ; these colours are generally in courses with the direction of the strata, which is chiefly argillaceous com position, having a deficiency of quartz veins, though in the direction of some lodes, there are a great many of them. In some places the strata has the ,appearance of roofing slate, and which has led to the opening of several quarries, but from a deficiency of silicious mat ter, the slates are generally of an inferior kind. The copper veins in this country are indicated, by what is termed an elven course, but which has little or no resemblance to a Cornish elven, but may be termed so for want of a better name ; it is a compact mass, chiefly composed of quartz, having a grey-blue, and very often a shining talcose appearance ; it is in a parallel direction with the stratification, on each side of which the copper veins are visible. These at the surface are coloured green, and black, and red, from the impregnation of copper and gossan. The strata near the junction of this is saponaceous (probably there is a mixture of steolite), with numerous scales of light green talc. As the depth increases this becomes gene rally a soft, white, compact substance, with specks of horse-flesh or malleable ore, which, as the depth still increases, takes the appearance of a solid Vein, entering into the elven course, and becoming broader as the depth is further increased. Since the commencement this mine has progressively improved as the shafts have increased in depth, but it is as yet scarcely proved, the deepest shaft in the mine being only 23 fathoms ; however the appearance in the different levels fully answer to the expectations entertained in the commence ment, and if one might judge from them at so shallow a depth; he could confidently say that this mine would be as rich as many prosperous ones in Cornwall, for it has a more promising appearance than any of the mines in Cornwall had at their commencement. The present appearances and prospects of raising ore are as fol lows :—At Kitto's cutting, which is open to the sur face, there are two men stoping at twenty-five shillings pee- fathom ; the quantity of ore they raise will about pay the cost—this islferely an experiment. The adit level, west of Williams' shaft (near Kitto's cutting), which is seven fathoms in depth, is not yet holed, but will in the course of a week, when some better descrip tion may be expected of it, for it looks promising as yet, and will probably set at a moderate price for stoping on tutwork. Adis level, east of Williams' shaft. There are stopes in the back of the edit level, east of Williams' shaft, which are looLlng very favour able ; the vein is small but very rich, no precise calcu lation can be made of its value at this shallow level, but from the queustity stoped, it will average half a ton per fathom worth about 201. per ton ; their are two men stoping it at 21. 105. per fathom. There is a winze in the bottom of the alit, underneath the last-mentioned stope ; it is sunk nearly eight fathoms by four men and two boys at 21. 10s. per fathom ; the lode continues favourable in elm winze, and as soon as it is holed (which is requisite to be done as quickly as possible on account of ventilating the ten fathom level), it will be sent to stope away. In the ten fathom level, west of Williams' shaft, in driving the end, several veins of rich ore have been cut through ; ore in the back is about three inches wide, and worth per cent. for copper. At the commencement of next month it is intended to sink a winze from Adit down upon this place. Williams' shaft is sinking below the ten-fathom level, by four men, at 41. per fathom. It is now six fathoms in depth, and as it proceeds it gradually improves ; the copper, which before was disseminated, is now solid in a branch. This is one of the deepest and most pro mising parts of the mine. To the east of this shaft about 25 fathoms a winze is sinking ; it is one of the same depth, and the lode has nearly the same appearance. When the shaft and winze have attained the twenty-fathom level, which will be in about two or three months' time, a coa - rnunication will be made between them, at that level, to facilitate the sloping on tutwork or tribute. Cummin's shaft on the middle lode is sunk eleven fathoms, and at ten fathoms a level is driving west, at 5/. 10s. per fathom. It is now about five cr six fathoms ; the end looks pretty favourable. There is no solid copper, but the stratum is richly coloured with the green solution of copper. On the south lode (where stone has lately been quarried for building the new storehouse, &c.), the vein shows a decidedly favourable appearance, composed of gossan and green carbonate of copper ; two men are commencing to sink a shaft upon it at 30s. per fathom. I shall, in a short time, report further. ADAM AIURR AY, Junior. THE CA USE OF POLAND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sllt,—ln your Paper of last evening I read an anong 1110U8 paragraph, headed " The Cause of Poland," which relates facts regarding my political biography so atro ciously false and stupidly libellous, that 1 feel it to be my duty towards myself, and more so towards my friends, to protest against such a cowardly and uncalled for attack upon my character ; but particularly do I deny having promised to the Chartists the support of the Polish soldiers. I answer only for my own actions, for which I have already suffered a great deal, and for which I am prepared to tall a victim. It is my. firm conviction that Poland cannot be saved but by England, constituted according to the just principles of the People's Charter, and therefore I find it both just and • expedient to co-operate with the Chartists. I hope you will not refuse publicity to these my lines, after having published a libel against me. Your's respectfully, B. BENIOWSKI. Broad-court, Long-acre, July, 25. THE STATE CHURCH. From the following passage the religious people of England may learn in what light that Establishment is regarded by Members of Parliament. It is a useful instrument of police as Dr. Chalmers described it ; a convenient means of teaching the people to honour the Bing and obey the laws. This is what Mr. B. Wall says— " I think the state religion has advantages enough, I grudge it none that it possesses, I rejoice that it has so many. There are 11,000 gentlemen dressad in black, be in Thirty-nine Articles, professors of orthodoxy, Ili fr . of them men of fortune, most of them men of character, talent, and education, resident in their re. spective parishes—spread far and wide over the face of the country—preaching the truth—and dividing among themselves near four millions sterling per annum. If truth needed protection and encouragement, we surely find it here in abundance. We have a State conscience in every parish—a pulpit in which it can he embodied— and talent, character, money, zeal, and influence enough to make believers of us all. I am attached to the tolerance and quiet of the Established Church. lam a Protestant ; but it is reason, not revelation that has made me one. I believe, also, that these qualities in our eccle siastical system have been engendered and nurtured by its connection with the State. Dissever that connexion, and you will no longer have the same well-educated class of gen tlemen as its ministers—it will become the profession of needy adventurers and canting enthusiasts." REMEMBRANCE OF PLEASANT SCENES.— Many and many a time in after years did Nicholas look back to thi s period of his life, and tread main the humble quiet homely scenes that ro3e up as of before him. Many and many a time in the twilight of a summer even ing,otefn or b es id e the flickering winter ' s fi re —b u t n o t so or so sadly,then—would his thoughts wander back to these old days, and dwell with a pleasant sorrow on every slight resiembra,nce which they brought crowding home. The little room In which they had so often sat long after it was dark, figuring such happy futures—Kate's cheerful voice and merry laugh ; - and how, if she were from home, they used to sit and watch for her return, scarcely break ing silence, but to say how dull it seemed without her— t,ke glee with which poor Smike would start from the darkened corner where he used to sit, and hurry to admit her, and the tears they often saw upon his face, half won dering to see them too, and he so pleased and happy— every little incident, and even slight word s and looks of those 61d days, little heeded then, but well remembered when busy cares and trials were quite forgot, came fresh and thick before him many and many a time, and, rustling above the dusty growth of pears, came back green boughs of yesterday.—Nicholas Nickleby. DROUGHT IN THE SOUTH OF FRAFCE..—.. The Marseilles papers of the 15th instant dwell on the great drought experienced in that quarter. " Proces safs u ' Le S d "annually take place, in ord er t h at it nn dy please heaven to open upon us its cataracts. We put ourselves under the protection of all the saints, but none of them seem willing to assume a more liquid shape. This reminds us that lately . a countryman, a devout church warden, on seeing his village saint, whom his neighbour, the cartwright, had manuf ae tured out of the stump of a walnut tree which had died of dryness, carried about in procession, observed that since the saint had been unable to procure rain f or hi m self it was i m possible be should raake it pour upon others; whereupon the,parish priest in , geWously rep li e d t h at suc h persona l self-denial was the very characteristic of sanctity. Not a drop of water having, however, been extracted from the sky by Saint Walnut -tree, o ur h onest churchwarden i n tends moving in the vestry that for that saint another edition be substituted to be made of northers wood, as being moister, and conse• I quently more infallible." THE COAL COMBIN The following letter from Mr. Pletts, of Newcas 'e upon-Tyne, to the Lord Mayer, upon the subject of ?he Coal monopoly, was received in due time by the Lord Mayor, but was not answered, for the reason stated in the letter directed by his Lordship to be written, until Tuesday ast : Newcastle-upon-Tyne, June 15, 18;9. My Lord,—Having been intimately connected with -be coal trade in all its branches, both as colliery agent, fitter, ship owner, ship and insurance broker, &c., for upwards of forty years, I may, perhaps, without any great presumption on my part, be allowed to offer an opinion on the coal trade generally. I have always been opposed to the system of combina tion, and have made some fruitless efforts to convince the parties of the evil tendency of its adoption, even to them-' selves. The effect of high prices always producing com petition, in the end prejudicial to their own interests, as well as to the public, of which your Lordship is well con vinced, as I am, or any of your Lordship's numerous and intelligent correspondents. A deputation from the inland counties, I perceive, waited upon your Lordship a few days ago, and offered coals at from ss. to 103. per ton, below the prices of those received from Newcastle, which they said would give equal satisfaction to the consumers. On this subject, I beg to differ from those gentlemen, both as to price and quality. In the first place, they have no coal (or, at least, they have never produced any in the London market, in my recollec tion) of equal quality with the best Newcastle and Sunder land coals; and, in the next place, I doubt that they have them of any quality, equal to those from hence or Sunder land, at the same price, provided the trade was freed from the combination restrictions. And, with due deference to your Lordship, I beg leave, most respectfully, to submit to your Lordship's inspection a hasty calculation on the subject. I will take the highest cost price and lowest of the New castle coals, say 10s. 9d. and 6s. 3d. per ton ; the differ ence is 4s. 6d. per ton, so that a ton of best coals at 103. 9d., with the Custom-house charges of clearing, in cluding insurance on the cargo, say sd. per ton, make the price on board at Shields 1 Is. 2d. The freight (with despatch) say 7s. 6d. ; municipal charges in London, Is. 2,W., with the charge for delivery, admitted may be done for 65., will make the price of the best Newcastle coals to the consumer 255. io/d. per ton. The inferior, according to the price at Newcastle, I will also take the lowest priced, say at 6s. 3d., with the other charges upon it (for the charges will be the same whatever the price here may be) will amount to 21s. 41d. per ton, which I submit is equal in quality to any of the coals re commended to your Lordship's notice by the late deputa tion of the inland coal proprietors of Staffordshire, &c. I also much doubt their ability to deliver them to the consumers at the above price, but these are only my own opinions, having no knowledge of the capabilities or the fa cilities of those gentlemen supplying London with coals, taking into consideration the uncertainty of inland naviga tion in winter. I have only further to add, my Lord, that the supply of London with cheap and good coal, let them come from where they may, is a consideration of the greatest import ance to that immense family, and that your Lordship's unceasing exertions are the best calculated to bring about so long wished for an object of human happiness and comfort, and that they may be carried out to the fullest extent is my fervent wish ; but my bumble opinion is, that nothing short of compulsion will over drive the coalownors here from their purpose ; they have enjoyed, are now enjoying, a monopoly inconsistent with justice and common sense. Why not immediately apply, since they have re fused to ship or sell coals unless they are placed under their laws and ordonnances, fur the in-mediate repeal of the Act prohibiting the inland coal being brought within a cer tain distance of London ? Can any rational reason be given why the inhabitants of London should be taxed to the amount of 700,0001. or 800,0001. a yenr to feed the lordly coal owners in the North, and their hungry adherents in London ? We know that a cry has been set up that the nursery for seamen would be destroyed, Sze. If inquiry was made, I believe not one-tenth of the men in that ser vice will be found to have been brought up in the coal trade, and in the present state of it, under this regulation, what kind of seamen can they make ? A ship now makes eight voyages in the year, instead of from twelve to fif teen ; she is a week on each passage, that is sixteen weeks in the year to make a sailor, the rest of his time he is in idleness on board of ship or on shore ; can any argument he grounded as regards the interest of the navy on such flimsy pretences as these? You must go to work, my Lord, in earnest, and clear away all the obstacles to a free and unrestricted trade in coals, reserving to yourselves your municipal rights, and if I can in any way be useful to, or accelerate your wishes in this quarter, it will afford me great pleasure. I remain, my Lord, your Lordship's very obedient ser vant, EDW. PLETTS. ANSWER. SIR am desired by the Lord Mayor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 18th ult., and to state that your first letter has been laid aside and forgotten, or it would have had earlier attention. Although so intimately connected as you appear to be with the coal trade in all its different branches, you are not at all singuler in the opi nions yea have formed of the evil tendency of the present system of combination in that trade. His Lordship agrees with you to the fullest extent, that in the end it will pro duce competition most prejudicial to the interests of those who are now the promoters and supporters of a measure so injurious to the public interests. You can hardly he acquainted with the Derby and Staf fordshire coals now selling in the London market. or you would not feel so satisfied as you state yourself to be that they are not equal to the Newcastle and Sunderland coals. With regard to your calculation upon the prices of New castle coals, compared with inland, his Lordship differs from you, as you will see below : YOUR ST \ TEMENT. HIS LORDSHIP ' S STATEMENT.

R 1 13 2 £1 3 8, 345. is the price now charged to that part of the public who prefer what is called best coals, to anti-combination or inland at 225. or 24a. With regard to the uncertainty of the winter his Lord ship admits there is much to fear. The public have not laid in their usual stock of coals, and he expects when the winter approaches, and it is found that the supply has been purposely kept back, that the price of coals will be very much higher than at present. The suggestion you make to apply to Parliament for the immediate repeal of tire Act prohibiting the inland coals froth being brought withsn a certain distance of Londou, is already accomplished, the Act is repealed The inland coal-owners are alive to it—they are acting upon it. Coals have arrived, are selling in London, much liked, and great preparations making for a much larger supply, which his Lordship has no doubt, you will feel the effects of, as you will also of the new local fields that are opening in your own immediate neighbourhood for the purpose of having a free trade. His Lordship hears that coals were sold last market day, that came from Lord Londonderry's pits, without the ship waiting its turn, or passing through the market regu lations—let a few other pits follow their example, and it will be all up with your combination ! What are the Stockton people about, that they will allow themselves to be thus deluded. His Lordship thanks you for the offer of your services, which, in the event of requiring them, he will be glad to avail himself of; but at present be is burnii.g coals from the north that are in no way connected with the combina tion—Free coals brought in free ships, entirely free from all the Newcastle, Sunderland, and London combinations or regulations. The Yorkshire coals are still cold at the price of 225. ; they are regularly called for and sold in the market as Lord Mayor's coals, notwithstanding the abuse of certain interested parties who are seriously be ginning to feel the effects of these new coals. One coal merchant alone brought in upwards of 4,000 tons of York shire coals in one month, without waiting a turn in the sections—without paying factor's charges, collier dues at Gravesend, or any one of the combination impositions. Where his Lordship obtains the coals, others may do the same, and like them as well as he does. It is not alone in the large grates at the Mansion-house ; he has burnt the same in the country, at Beckenham, for many months, and is still doing so, and they give equal satisfaction to the family, and there is no danger to the furniture. His Lordship considers the combination broken up if the public will follow his example—if they will not, they ought not to complain of the high price of coals.

Englishman. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 27. RISIITON V. COBB.-APPEAL. This was an appeal from the judgment of the Vice- Chancellor on the hearing of the cause. The plaintiff in this suit is Frances Lady , Campbell, the widow of Major- General Sir Neil Campbell, formerly Governor of Sierra Leone, and now the wife of Mr. Rishton, a merchant in that colony. Lady Campbell's second marriage was very unhappy, and she and her husband separated two months after her wedding, Mr. Rishton returning to Sierra Leone, and Lady Campbell going to reside at Margate, in Kent, where it appears she did not state the fact of her second marriage, and passed as the widow of the late Sir Neil Campbell. About ten years since she became intimate with the late Mr. Cobb, a solicitor of that town, from whom she had borrowed about 180/. in money. On Mr. Cobb's death it appeared that he had made the following bequests to Lady Campbell :—lle gave to trustees the sum of 2,0001., to pay the interest and proceeds to Lady Campbell during her life, unless married ; he also left her, if she were not again married, at the time of his decease the sum of 500/., out of which all moneys owing by Lady Campbell at the time of his death should be deducted ; he also ordered that a diamond ring, upon which money had been lent by him, should be restored. The defend ants, who were the legatees and next of kin, of the testa tor, refused to pay the bequests to her Ladyship, alleging that she had represented herself falsely as a single woman to Mr. Cobb, whose affection she won, and that he had even asked her to marry, which she refused only on account of his irritability of temper, and that it was in contempla tion of her capability of becoming his wife that he had made the bequests. The Vice-Chancellor on the hearing overruled these arguments, and decided that Lady Camp bell was entitled to the amount of the bequests as prayed by her bill. Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE, for the defendants, contended, on the authority of several cases, that the judgment of the Court below was wrong, and that the plaintiff had no right to ask the Court to give to her the fruits of her fraudulent representations. Mr. WAKEFIELD, after reading from the evidence at great length, contended that the Vice-Chancellor's judg ment was correct. It must be proved that Mr. Cobb would have left Lady Campbell nothing bad he known she was married before the argument of the other side could prevail. The hearing was further adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A woman of respectable appearance, named Mary Reeve, was brought before Alderman Scholey, the locum tenens of the Lord Mayor, charged with having assaulted Mary Anne Haslam. The case had some interest, in con sequence of the turning of the tables, by which the com plainant became the accused, and the defendant a witness against her. Mary Anne Haslam stated that she knew Mrs. Reeve, who walked up to her on the preceding evening, and fetched her a stunning blow on the ear, which was the more remarkable and provoking for not being accompanied by words. A police-officer stated that he was present when the blow was struck, and had not observed that any provocation was given.. Alderman SCHOLEY—WeII, Mrs. Reeve, how can you account for having used this improper violence ?—Mrs. Reeve replied that she was so exasperated at the dishonesty of the young woman in a place to which her (Mrs. Reeve's) husband had recommended her, that she could not refrain from giving that sort of cl.astisernent to the offender. Her husband was related to Mary Haslam ; and a Mr. Hilliard, who kept a public-house in Thames-street, took that girl into his service, in consequence of the character given her by Mr. Reeve. It was soon, however, ascertained that she had been robbing her master, who turned her away because she had opened the pot-boy's box with false keys, and taken from it half-a-crown. She had even the auda city to put into Mrs. Reeve's drawers some articles which belonged to Mr. Hilliard, which it was suspected she had stolen. All these things having come to the knowledge of Mrs. Reeve, it was quite impossible not to feel exaspe rated, and the blow was certainly given. Mr. Hilliard stated that he took Mary Ann Hallam into his service upon the recommendation of Mr. Reeve, and discharged her in consequence of having missed money at different times. He identified some of the property, which Mrs. Reeve said the girl had put into her drawers, as his. The prisoner, who thus from an accuser became accused of a much worse offence than that with which she charged the principal witness against her, was remanded for further examination. The driver of an omnibus, whose number is 108, was charged by Sir John Key, Bart., with having driven his omnibus along the streets with great rapidity, and on the wrong side. Sir John Key said that, as he was riding on horseback a few days ago along the street, an omnibus was driven towards him with such violence, and on the wrong side, that he was obliged to turn his horse instantly upon the pavement to save himself from perhaps fatal injury. The driver took no notice of him, but whipped on his horses, looking behind him every moment for an omnibus which was following in the race. The defendant belonged to the second omnibus, which also compelled Sir John Key to tern upon the pavement. If the Hon. Baronet's horse Lad not happened to be a very quiet and steady animal the consequences might have been dreadful. The defendant upon being asked by Alderman SCIIOLEY why he had thus put the lives of people in jeepardy, said, " All that Sir John says h quite true, but the driver of the first omnibus was much more to blame than I was." Sir John Key said that the defendant had acted with much civility upon being accused of racing, but the inte rest of the public wa4 so much concerned that it would be improper to admit respect and civility as an excuse; he, however, thought that a small fine would be quite suffie:ent. The other drivtx, who was much mere eulpabi.c, should hear of it on a future day, as a mistake had occurred in the Famnions taken out against Alderman SCISOLEY, who has been always remarkable for making allowance for the errors of others, fined the de fendant in the penalty of 59.. We know others who would have been fined 51., rnd perhaps the severer penalty would have had the better effect. TUE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 29, 1839. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Thorn, jun., one of the partners in the Westmin ster Brewery, attended before Mr. Conant, to explain the circumstances under which a stolen 201. bank-note came into his possession. Mr. James Isaacs, who appeared on behalf of the com plaining party, stated that n lady, while riding in an om nibus a short time ago, had her pocket cut, and upwards of 701. in notes and money stolen fro.n her. One of the notes, for 201., was recently paid into the Bank of Eng land, and, on making search, the note was traced back to Messrs. Thorn and Co., but nothing further could be ascertained. Mr. Thorn told the Magistrate that he was totally un able to give any. information w hich would suffice to point out the party from whom the note had been received. On the day when the note had b.!en taken the firm had four collecting clerks out, and the money they collectively paid in amounted to upwards of 1,2001. He had drawn out a list of all those customers who had paid money on that day, but he could not, nor could his collectors, say with certainty which customer had paid the 20/. in question. Mr. CONANT asked Mr. Thorn if he did not endorse the bank notes he received ? Mr. Thorn said be never endorsed or marked a note which he received from a customer; in fact he did not even weigh a sovereign. Mr. CONANT—Then, pray, what would be the con sequence if your collector paid to you a forged note which he had taken from a customer ? Mr. Thorn—We should be at the loss of the money. Mr. CONANT—I must say that your way of business ap pears to be of a very careless character. Mr. Isaacs—But I beg your NN orship to observe what a wide door for improper practices such a system leaves open. It is only necessary for a thief to get possession of stolen notes, have them changed at a publican'.—the notes are paid to the brewer, who takes no account of the person from whom he receives them, by which process all possi bility of tracing the stolen property is destroyed. Mr. Tborn—No persons are more careful in taking notes than publicans. It would be impossible to get stolen notes changed in such a quarter. Mr. Isaacs—And I assert that the reverse is the truth. There are a class of publicans who keep flash-houses, from whom no difficulty in obtaining change for any amount of stolen notes would be experienced. Mr. CONANT—I think that the opinion of Mr. Isaacs, as he speaks from professional experience, must have the greatest weight in that matter. Mr. Thorn—l am willing to render all the assistance in my power to trace the note. I have made out a list of the persons from whom money was received on the day the stolen note was taken ; and I am quite ready to furnish Mr. Isaacs with the list. Mr. CONANT—I think you are bound to do all in your power to assist the inquiry. Suppose, now, that Mr. Isaacs chose to make a charge against you? Ido not be lieve he means to take such a course ; but if he were to charge you with having stolen property in your possession, you would, in justice to your own character, be bound to bring forward these parties to clear yourself. Mr. Isaccs—l believe Mr. Thorn to be a most respect able man, otherwise I should ask your Worship to require him to put in bail to answer the charge of having a stolen I'note in his possession, without being able to give a satis factory account of the way he came by it. Mr. Thorn having assured the Bench that he would afford every facility in his power to trace out the party from whom the note was taken, the affair ended. ling it up, put it into his pocket and quitted the room. After a few moments he was followed by the witness Coles, who found him near the water-closets. He addressed him, and told him that it was time he had returned to his duty ; when the prisoner said he would go imme diately; but, instead of doing so, he entered one of the water-closets. The witness returned to the sorting-reorn, and acquainted the President with what he had witnessed ; and, on the prisoner coining back, he was called into a private room and questioned upon the subject. He firmly denied that he had any letter about him, or that he had re moved or secreted one of there which had been placed in his hands. Mr. Peacock, jun., one of the solicitors to the Post-office, being present, cautioned him that he would be searched; but, as he still persisted in his denial of the offence imputed to him, Mathew Peake, a constable of the A division, who usually attends the Post office, was called in to search his person. He examined his pockets in vain to find either letter or money, except three shillings in silver ; but, it having been remarked that the prisoner had handled his watch in rather a singular manner, the atten tion of the officer was directed to it, and in the case he found a sovereign and a half sovereign. A carpenter, named Baker, was then called in, and directed to examine the water-closet; and, on his removing the seat, the frag ments of a letter were discovered in the pipe, which, on being collected, proved to have b een written by a Miss Yarrow, and posted in Chapel-street, Grosvenor-place, addressed to her father in America.s quare , th e letter being marked outside as containing money. The prisoner was then secured by Peake, and on his being conveyed to this office he admitted to the constable that he had stolen the ter by secreting it in his handkerchief, and that he had afterwards carried it down stairs, where he had taken out its contents, consisting of it. 10s. in gold, and had torn it up and had then thrown the frag men t s awa y i n the place where they were discovered. The prisoner declined saying anything in his defence at present, and on the application of Mr. Peacock, who ap peared to support the prosecution, he was remanded for the purpose of procuring the attendance of some witnesses whose testimony will be necessary in point of form. MARYLEBONE. William Jones, a weazel-faced man, was charged with being concealed in the bed-room of Mrs. Hannah Foulkes, of 7, Market-street, Paddington. The complainant stated that, whilst at ..tea, on the previous evening, she heard some one sneeze in her bed-chamber, and on opening the door she found the Prisoner sitting in her easy chair, with the " Sorrows of Water" in his hand. On being disturbed he started off, but she following and calling " Stop thief 1" he was soon captured. On searching him two flannel petticoats were found upon him, but they did not belong to her. _ An officer said that the fellow was a common bed-room thief; and, having nothing to say for himself, the Magis trates remanded him for further examination, that persons who have been robbed mly come forward. HA7'TON-GARDEN. Little Sam Waddington, the bill-sticker, who made himself notoriously foolish during the Spa-fields Radical demonstration, and has lately displayed his desire for foolish notoriety with the Chartists, applied to Mr. Hall, asking iris Worship to accept a scat in the waggon, at the Chartist meeting at Clerken well-green, on Monday evening next, and also that the Magistrate would send some of the officers of the establishment to assist in keeping the peace, should the police attempt to break it. Waddington in formed the Bench that he had to second a motion, calling upon the Queen to order the House of Commons to take into its consideration the People's Charter. All the people wanted was peace, and the quiet attainment of their rights. Mr. Hall declined the seat in the waggon, and stated that he- had nb doubt that the peace would be preserved. Wad dington left the office, thanking the Magistrate for his politeness. LAMBETH- STREET. Solomon Hart, a very powerful Jew, was charged with assaulting one of the police,—A sergeant of the police said that, in consequence of the production of the piece called the Gold Dust Robbery, at the Garrick Theatre, the Jews had expressed some annoyance, and he and two men were placed there to keep the peace. Some observations were made which did not please the defendant, when he put his fist in the officer's face and swore he would knock him down ; upon which he was taken into custody. The defendant said he dd not touch the complainant until he pushed him off the pavement, and told hint to go on.—The Magistrate fined him U. which he prayed he might have until Monday to pay, as it hurt his conscience to touch money on the Sab bath ; but finding that he was about to be locked up, he violated his conscience and paid the money. THE SHROPSHIRE MlDASES.—Compliment. ing the Government on the appointment of the Duke of Sutherland to the office of Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire, the Shrewsbury News of last Saturday writes as follows: " But if on general public grounds the appointment of the Duke of Sutherland is praiseworthy, how much more so does it become, when the nature of that appointment in all its local bearings is duly considered. The composition of the Salop magistracy is notoriously and disgracefully one sided, In their selection no regaxd whatever has been paid to their fitness for office, to the wishes of the community amongst whom they ostensibly dispense justice, or, in short, to any one consideration of propriety. The only question has been as to the virulence of their Toryism ; and in proportion to their zeal as political partisans have they been deemed qualified for the commission of the peace. This state of things we trust his Grace will im mediately set abOut reforming, by the appointment of such a number of Liberals as will establish something like an equality on the bench. In no county in England is magi storial refot In more needed than in Sa!op, with perhaps the exception of Montgomeryshire, where a thorough cleaning out of the Torificd Mic.oses has long been amongst the most crying wants of a most moat tyrannized and ill-used population.—Stafford Examiner. On the 7th inst. the railroad running from Vienna to Brunn, in Moravia, was opened with great pomp. Thirty-six vehicles had been placed at the disposal of the travellers who entered them, to the number of 900. Above 20,000 persons had assembled to witness their departure. The three first trains reached Brunn in f:ur hours; the last in four hours end a halt. An immense concourse assembled on the walls and heights enthusiasti cally cheered the trains as they successively arrived. The troops were under arms, and the municipal authorities had prepared a splendid banquet. After attending it, the Governor, Count Ugarte, proceeded in the first train as far as Kagonitz, which is four miles from Brunn. At this place, where the train stopped to take in water, a deplo rable accident took place. Tl.e engineer of the third train bad neglected to discharge his steam in the vicinity of the station were the two first trains he.d stopped. The consequence was that his locomotive was driven against the waggons before it with so much violence that two of them were crushed to atoms, and their living contents buried under the fragments. Nine travellers were severely wounded, four having their legs broken. The engineer was immediately apprehended. The people of Vienna long awaited the return of the trains, which came in but towards midnight. When the accident became known, the Austrian capital was thrown into universal consternation. ALLEGED INSULT TO THE QU EEN .—Th e in dividual who is accused of having offered an insult to her Majesty in Hyde-park on the 17th instant, has forwarded a copy of a letter, which he states he has addressed to the Queen, denying in tile most positive and solemn terms having been guilty of the offence imputed. The writer, after some introductory remarks says, " I had advanced before your most Gracious Majesty, and did not discover the fact until apprised by one of the grooms (James Light), who acts das one of the outriders. On his announcement that the Queen was behind, my utmost efforts were used to keep at a respectful distance ; my horse was unruly, and but for the indecent conduct of James Light, I should have succeeded effectually in removing myself. He rode furiously up to me, and lock hold of my horse's reins, and did all in his power to unhorse me, without the slightest provocation ; but for this, I should have vanished from your Majesty's presence before any thing unpleasant could have occurred." BANNISTER IN TRAGEDY.—Bannister began his own stage career in tragedy, and played the hero in Voltaire's 217ahorriet. Garrick, who had trained him to the part, met him the next day, after he had acquired some applauses in Mahomet, and asked him, with his usual abundance of gesture and " Eh, ells," what character he wished to play next. " Why," said Bannister, " I was thinking of Oroonoko."—" Eh," said David, staring at Bannister, who was at that time very thin, " you will look as much like Oroonoko as a chimney-sweeper in a consump tion." Bannister told me that, at these words of Garrick, his knees slackened, and he had almost sunk down on the pavement. At another interview; he ventured to tell the English Roscius that he had some thoughts of attempting comedy. " Eh, eh ?" said Garrick, " why no, don't think of that, you may humbug the town for some time longer as a tragedian ; but comedy is a serious thing, sq don't try it yet." Bannister, however, attempted comedy; and bis Don Whiskerandos (as he himself says) laughed his tragedy out of fashion.—Campbell's Life of Mrs. Siddons. Three persons from Oswestry, in a gig, returning from Llanfyllin, were in imminent danger of being preci. pitated over the Vcrniew Old Bridge, near Llanymynech, on Thursday last. The driver, a " Star" of the first mag. nitude, had previously said " he would drive himself and companions to hell 1" To accomplish this purpose, he drove at a furious rate to the end of the bridge, came in contact with some impediment, upset the g i g and p oo r horse, brok e th e g i g an d spoiled the harness, and washire. self and companions pitched half over the parapet, losing his hat and whip in the river. —Shrewsbury Chronicle.

MRS. BISHOP AND MR. BOCHSA. Subjoined are the " extracts" alluded to in The Sun of Friday evening; they are from the letter addressed to Mrs. Bishop by her father, and were published in the Times on Friday by her husband : " July 8, 1839. "My dear Anne,—if God permits you to live till next January 9, you will then have completed 30 years of your life. To-morrow is your wedding day, which used for some years to be a day of joy. Alas, what is it now ?. A dismal sorrowful remembrance of past happiness, and a fearful promise of happiness never to be regained in this life, except you stop at the edge of the precipice, and kneel to Almighty God, and implore his mercy to save you from destruction. " Will you read this, or not? Will you listen to a too fond and affectionate father ? Will you remember your poor afflicted mother, your good intentioned and affectionate brothers, and . . . ' You are about to destroy all—all of us, by your obstinate, blind, and remorseless conduct. Fear God, and tremble for the consequences. " You have affected to despise public opinion; but, re member, the better part of society are your judges. You have already been severely scandalized, and (I hope and believe) unjustly ; but happily for us, in this still consistent country, character is the bulwark of female virtue. Do not despise it, remain firm to the dictates of the respectable part of the world, and do not wonder that you have not received visits to congratulate you upon your late exhibi tion of splendid talent. " Why, the character of the man is so bad, that he even confesses he is shunned by his own sex. Ile has bullied me in your presence, and you, I verily believe, thought him justified. " Will you listen before it is too late? It is still in your power to retrieve or retrace your steps. Once give this a power over you, which unhappily he has had over your mind, and then . . . After that he will cast you off, and ill-health, or a stricken conscience will make you recollect what you were. Repentance, too late, scouted by all the world, and reduced to a state of poverty and misery, far worse than all the words I could invent to des cribe. " Your dear Louisa and Robert, whose letters I for ward to you, your respected sister Fanny, your honoured and well-conducted brothers—all, all are bitterly anxious about you. And then your poor children; and last, not least, your poor unfortunate husband—for God's sake sub mit to him ; you cannot have a shadow of excuse for your conduct; in all respects it has been grossly imprudent, and carries with it every appearance of criminality, although I firmly believe that has not transpired. Reflect before it is to late, and pray God does not abandon you to the vic tim . . . ; remember you cannot, if you visit, or per mit his attentions to you, you are lost for ever. " From your afflicted and despised father, but stil Paithful and affectionate "D. V. RIVIERE." THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS The reports relative to the — crops that have reached town to- day, from the country, are generally unfavourable. The provincial papers state that the wet and tempestuous wea l .. ther has done much mischief in several partsof the kingdortt... Tlie grass which has been cut and not carried away, has suffered severely. Wheat, barley, oats, &c., have been laid extensively, and apprehensions are expressed of the result, if settled weather shouli not soon supervene. An extract or two from some of the reports referred to are sufficient indices of the character of the accounts in general : The extremely unsettled state of the weather during the past week, is fast damaging the produce of the mea dows ; many fields in the neighbourhood of Sutton-in- Ashfield, that were nearly ready for the stack a week ago, being now materially injured.—/Vottingham Review. The late ungenial weather has greatly retarded the hay harvest in the neighbourhood of Chesterfield. There are large lots of grass down, and also a great deal ready to cut.—Doncaster Gazette. The heavy rains which have lately prevailed, and are still prevailing, have done considerable damage to the hay crops'in this (Bath) as well as in most other districts. Much of what has been saved has been carried in bad con dition. We beg to recal to the attention of our agricultu ral readers the great efficacy, under present circumstances. of salting the stacks. The corn has hitherto sustained no damage worth speaking of, but the small prospect now before us of an improvement in the weather has begun to excite serious apprehensions on this iJubject.—Bath Chro nicle. We have had some heavy rain in the vicinity of Dublin during the last two days, with intervals of strong sun, but the appearance of the crops does not indicate as yet any mischief having been done. At Newry on Tuesday after. noon the rain fell in torrents for upwards of four hours. The town was absolutely deluged. About seven o'clock in the evening, however, the rain ceased; and it continued fair during the night. Yesterday forenoon it again rained heavily for a short time; and there is every appearance of a continuance of wet weather.--. Dublin Evening Post of Thursday. France, too, appears to have been but little favoured with fine weather. The Armoricain of Brest, of the 20th inst. states that one of the most violent storms ever known in Brittany at this season of the year, had been raging on the west coast for two days.

The carter stated that this wa Sno l b , first accident of the kind, as, in consequence of the gr eB demand for bricks to erect new buildings round the metro polis, the makers have been obliged to cart them from th e kiln whilst still hot, and that they are scarcely cold before they are in the hands of the bricklayer. THE LATE CHARGE OF POISONING A WIFE. —Thursday, at Lambeth-street office, John Clifton, the young man who has been in custody for nearly a fortnight on the alleged charge of having administered some active poison to his wife Caroline, which had caused ber.Cleatb• was placed at the bar, before Mr. Hardwick, for final exa mination. Mr. Lunn, the chemist, of Aldersgate-street, who had been previously examined at thi s office, stated that since that examination he had submitted the contents . of the stomach of the deceased to a further and Ille r° searching test, and could not discoser the slightest 10e sence of anything of a poisonous nature. Joseph 1 4° e ' c i wood, a chemist in Charlotte-street, Wbitechapel, depos e that about two months ago the prisoner came to hiss and asked for twopennyworth of arsenic, saying t ho e .t time that his lodgings were overrun with mice, a nd t u" be required it to destroy them. Witness, perceiving him to be a respectable and rationallooking young I ' llB 7 after cautioning him as to the necessity of care i n its u_' ' gave him the arsenic, which weighed nearly half an ounce s. and upon which he wrote the word " Poison." 5111ci Scott stated that about two months ago the. prisoner s'o his wife lodged at her house, and while they had bee there she bad never known either of them to comp wit h mice, nor was it true that the house was overrun vol them, as had been stated. The Magistrate directed tha t ' the statement of the last witness should be placed of the depositions. Mr. Pelham, who attended on bebalL°. the prisoner, submitted, after the evidence given by In lc % Lunn —namely, that there was not the slightest ntesedi, of poison in the contents of the stomach of the decease _t. that there was no case that would justify the cornmitmeubo of the prisoner, and, therefore, he hoped he would g discharged. Mr. Hardwick entertained avery differep_ opinion of the case, and committed the prisoner to tag: his trial at the Central Criminal Court upon the ehe r g of murder. h e The Dublin Evenir g Post refers es to t powerful and very remarkable speech of Lord Clarenoddounct_ adding, it was his maiden speech—but it vraa Jae P r , 9he d tion of a man who cannot fail to become a . distingue senator and statesman."
