The Sun. — London, England, 1844-10-08 00:00:00

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 8, 1844. Lord John Manners, on the sports and pastimes of the people. The publication of that pamphlet drew an interest to the subject which it had never before been able to secure. This interest has fortunately gone on increasing. We have parks proposed and planned for Manchester—we have the Prime Minis ter of England, with that princely munificence by which his every private act is distinguished, sending down his 1,0001. subscription towards the expenses of a work that is practically to increase the innocent enjoyments of the poor artisan. All this is pleasant to think on. We pray sincerely it may be only at its beginning, and that its noble and high-minded originator may have hereafter to congratulate him self on the restoration of some of that manly sentiment of respectful affection and confidence be tween different orders of society, which was always characteristic of the honest minds of old England. Dr. C. J. Fox, of 13, New Broad-street, London, stated that he was called in by the broth2r (who is also a medical man) of the deceased to see his sister, about Christmas last, who, he was informed, had been suddenly seized, while cleaning her teeth, with a diffi culty of articulation. When witness saw her he found her tongue drawn to the left side, and she was slightly paralysed. She was put under particular treatment for many weeks. The tongue gradually returned to its proper place, and paralysis subsided, but there was no affection of the mind that witness could discover. She was recommended- to go into the country for change of air and scene. Witness had seen nothing of her since she left London. Miss Hannah Travers, the aunt of deceased, resid ing at Denmark-hill, Camberwell, deposed as follows : —My two nieces reside with me. The health of the deceased fur many months had been in a very infirm state. During the List three months we have been travelling in the south of England for the improve ment of her health, and we were now returning home. Yesterday evening she was more than usually cheerful. She had no apprehension of consumption since Midsummer. I believe the unfortunate occur rence of this morning to have been purely accidental. Constantly, while we were at the sea-side, I carried her a jug of salt water every morning before seven o'clock. I usually found her half dress d, lying on the bed, with a biok beside her, and the window open. She required all the air she could obtain from feeling occasionally a difficulty in breathin g . Neither my bed-room door nor that of deceased, was locked, but the outer passage-door I locked myself. She was never known to walk in her sleep. This being the whole o' the evidence, the Coroner, in summing up, said there was no doubt her death was occasioned by the injuries she sustained by the fall, but that with reference to her state of mind at the time the evidence was only inferential. The jury returned a verdict that " The deceased came by her death in consequence of a fall from ft window; but whether that fall was the result of acci dent or not does not appear." The body was removed to London the same night. The family of the deceased are anxious to state that the above accident occurred from no fault in the ar rangements of the hotel. Under the painful circum stances they are desirous to acknowledge the ex treme kindness and considerate attention they expe rienced throtighout from Mr. Dotesio and every member of his household. LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE ON THE RIVER. Late en Saturday evening Mr. Carter, the Coroner for East Surrey, commenced an inquiry at Mr. Avis's, the Eight Bells Tavern, Putney, into the circumstances at tending the death of Mr. Henry Tyer, aged 21, a mid shipman, and son of the late Mr. Tyer, of Manor House, Barnes. The deceased was drowned off the Crab Tree, at Hammersmith, on the evening of Friday, the 27th ult., but his body was not found until Saturday morn ing last. Mr. James Springett, a boat-builder at Putney, de posed that the deceased, with whom he was well ac quainted, hired a wherry of him about half-past two o'clock on Friday afternoon week. He was then quite sober. He had been in the habit of going up the river every day for about three weeks, and was fugy capable of managing a boat. Witness never saw deceased alive after that afternoon, but the next morning he heard that his boat was at the Crab Tree, and he went after it. It was nut in the least injured. so that the decased could not have run foul of any craft . Charles Taylor, of No. 44, Lower Fore. street, Lam beth, fisherman, deposed that on Friday evening week, about five o'clock, he was fishing at Chiswick-eyot, when he heard a cry of " a man overboard." Upoa looking round he saw the deceased in the water ; he was swim ming. Witness rowed towards him and gut him into his boat, and took him ashore at Chiswick. Deceased said he had slipped his scull and fell in. Deceased treated witness and another man to a quart of ale, and took down his address, promising that he would call upon him arid reward him. Witness said that deceased was drunk, and when he wanted him to push off his boat for him he would nut do so, as he conceived he was not capable of managing a boat in the state he was then in. Witness went away, leaving deceased on shore; he after wards heard that he was drowned, and he dragged three hours fur him but without success. Edward Haakins stated that about half-past five o'clock on the evening in question he was fishing at the lower part of Chiswick-evot, when he saw deceased in the water. Witness went to his assistance, took him into his own boat, and rowed him to the Ship, near the Hammersmith Water-works. Deceased was very mach intoxicated. He told witness that he had already been in the water three times, and that the first time he lost his coat and the second time his hat. The deceased said he would sooner have lost his life than his coat. Wit ness advised deceased to remain on shore, and refused to shove his boat off for him, as he considered he would most likely lose his life if he persisted in going in her again. 111 r. Bullen observed that a bargeman in the employ of Mr. Skeel had witnessed the fatal accident, and he said deceased roiled out of the boat. _ _ _ The CORONEit said if that was the case he would ad journ the inquiry, for it was highly important they should have direct evidence as to the manner iu which deceased met his death. Fhe inquiry was then adjourned, after lasting more than four hours. MIDDLESEX REGISTRATION. (Before L. SHADWELL, Esq.) Mr. Shad well sat yesterday at the Sessions house, Westtninstcr, for the purpose of revising the lists of voters for St. Paul's, Covent-garden, St. James's, St. Clement Danes, St. George's, Hanover-square, St. Martin's, St. Anne's. Lincoln's Inn, the Savoy, St. Margaret's, and St. John the Evangelist. The REVISING BARRISTER complained of the irregular manner in which the St. Anne's list had been made out. Mr. Corder, clerk of the St. Clement Danes Union, att - nded in the place of the overseers of that parish, and delivered in lists of the claims and objections. He said there were only two objections —one against the name of a person who died a short time ago, the other against the retention on the list of the name of a person who had disposed of his property, and who, consequently, was not qualified. Mm. SHADWELL said the names of the two persons ob jected to did not appear in the list which had been delivered to him. Where was the list which had been affixed on the church doors ? Before, however, Mr. Corder could comply with his request, Mr. SHADWELL said—Band it to me. I cannot hare the whole day wasted in this way. The list was accordingly handed to Mr. Shadwell by Mr. Corder. Mr. SHADWELL, after having glanced at the list, threw it with a gesture of impatience to Mr. Corder, who was in the witness-box. He said the names to which he alluded were not in that list. Mr. Corder, opening the . book, said th ere are the names (at the same time pointing to them). Mr. SIIADWELL (with considerable impatience)—Ti and it up—let me see it. Why did you n o t f urn i s h me with that list when you came into court. The conversation then dropped. John Thorogood, who appeared on the list of voters for St. James's, in respect of a fie-farm rent from cham bers in the Albany, was objected to by the Conservatives, as the name of the owner of the property was not on the register. The omission was ac cor di ng ly re ctified. Mr. Thorogood said—Mr. B arr i ster, t hi s i s the third time I have been compelled to attend here. I wish to know why I am brought here, year after year, in this way. Mr. SIIADWELL said he must put that question to those who had objected to his name. Mr. Thorogood said he had come seventy-two miles in order to meet what he considered a frivolous objection. Mr. SNADWELL wished he wou ld no t t a ke up the time of the court after the business had been disposed of. The lists of voters for St. John the Evangelist and St. Margaret's were then revised. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT ,OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 7. (Before Sir C. F. WILLIAMS.) IN RE JOHN HUNTER. In this case the insolvent had applied, upon Thursday last, for an appointment from Sir Charles Williams, in order to show cause why an order should be made to rescind a prior order, remanding the petitioner to prison. Sir Charles had appointed this day, in consequence of the only creditor having obtained a vesting order in the Insolvent Debtors' Court. Mr. LUCAS, who attended for the creditor, said that a letter had been received from Mr. Stafford. solicitor to the insolv« nt, stating that Mr. Hunter would not attend that day, but that he himself would appear, to watch proceedings. Sir C. WILLIAMS said that, before proceeding further in this case, he should, as it involved a very important principle, wish to consult his learned brother, Mr. Com missioner Evans, as to whether that Court could proceed with the petition of the insolvent after the creditor bad obtains d a vesting order from the other court. Ile would, as the Learned Commissioner was not in town, communicate to the solicitors on either side when the matter would be heard again. Mr. STAFFORD,in reference to some irritability he had exhibited iu court upon a previous hearing of this case, said, that no man was more ready than himself to ac knowledge his error, when in the heat of the moment he had used language in that court which no provoca tion, perhaps, could justify, and he therefore begged that such language might be overlooked by the Hon. Corn. missioner. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to animadvert upon some words used by the Registrar as regarded him (Mr. Stafford), and he then continued— " While I therefore apologise to the court. I beg humbly, but firmly, to state that i owe no apology to the man who has so impudently — Sir C. WILLIAMS could not allow such language to pass unnoticed, and, if repeated, he should assuredly commit Mr. Stafford. After some further conversation of similar character the matter dropped.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MAN SION-HO(ISL. A young man, named Joseph Charles Paton, was brought before Sir John Pale by James Roots (City policeman 577), who apprehended him on Sunday morning as he was stepping into one of the carriages on the Blackwall Railway with two young women for what is called a spree. Mr. Woolf, from • :dr. Flower's offices, attended for the prisoner. John Taylor, warehouseman to Mr. ll.vington, of No. 67, King William-street, leather-seller, stated that the prisoner, who was in the habit of calling at the warehouse to order goods for his employer, Mr. Sharman, of No. 37, Gracechurch-street, came at the end of September last and ordered various articles, and amongst them ten pairs of morocco legs fir hoots. Witness entered all the goo.ls in a book which the prisoner always brought with him when he called to do business. A boy accompanied the prisoner, and took away all the articles except the Morocco boot legs, which the prisoner himself took away. Witness debited Mr. Sharman with the whole, to the amount of 201. 17s. 101. The value of the morocco leather was 3/. 15s. Witness never sold the prisoner goods on his own account. Sir J. PIRIE said he recollected having seen the prisoner at the bar before fur a very discreditable tranacti,n. Mr. Goodman (the chief clerk) stated to the Alder man that the pri , oner had been charged, about a month ago, IA ith having given a young woman who was pregnant by him a violent blow with a stick in the eye. Mr. Frederick Sharman, bootmaker, of Grace church-streA, stated that the prisoner was a clicker in his service for about four months, and left him on the 21st of September, in pursuance of a notice given by witness. Witness dealt with Mr. Bevington for boot fronts and other articles, and it was his custom to send a book by the person employed to purchase goods there, in which they were to be entered, and which was then brought home to the shop to be checked. It was impossible that the particular de scription of goods (the morocco legs) could have been brought home without witness's knowledge. The prisoner had unlimited authority from him to purchase goods, and the morocco legs were obtained without witness's knowledge or authority. Richard Barton, an errand-boy in the service of Mr. Sharman, stated that on Saturday three weeks he went with the prisoner to Mr. Bevington's shop, and by his direction brought away to Mr. Sharman 's house materials for boots and shoes, and pieces of leather, but did not bring away any morocco leg fronts or backs. Witness delivered all that he had brought away to his master's shopman. Edward A.kew, servant of Mr. Sharman, stated that it was his duty to check the goods purchased for the house. The goods described in the book as hav ing been purchased at Mr. Bevington's warehouse were all received, with the exception of the morocco legs. A boot-closer proved that last week the prisoner employed him to close a pair of red morocco boots for him. The prisoner called for the boots when they were finished, paid for them, and took them away. The prisoner was remanded. It was stated to Sir John Pirie that the prisoner had occasioned the most poignant distress in two very decent families, by marrying two young women within a very short period. Sir JOHN having been informed that the two wives were present, but that one of them was in such a con dition as not to be able ;o give evidence, directed that all the witnesses should be in attendance this day. Two gipsy horse-dealers, named Chileock and Weston, and a young Welshman, named Evan Jones, were brought before Mr. Alderman Hooper, charged under the following circumstances : A policeman stated that as he was passing along Aldgate he saw the three prisoners quarrelling over a pony, which one of them charged the other t vs.° with having stolen. Witness interposed to prevent any breach of the peace, and then retired, but upon re turning soon afterwards, he found them at it again, and then he took them all to the station• house, where the Welshman charged the gipsies with having done him out of a pony, and about half done him out of another. Alderman HOOPER immediately determined, after having asked a few questions, to take the evidence of the Welshman as to the alleged robbery. From the story of Evan Jones, it appeared that he was a Welsh drover, and had been employed by his master to sell two ponies. lie accordingly drove the ponies into Essex, where he met Chilcock, whom he took for a respectable body, and sold him one of the ponies for 3/. 17s. 6d., receiving 2/. in hand, and the promise of 1/. 17s. 6d. next day. Next day came, and the drover had his master's second pony for sale, and Chilcock took a fancy to that animal too, and agreed to pay 41. 17s. 6d. for it. The offer was a very agreeable one, as the drover considered it to be doing business in earnest, without trouble or humbug, and as the 1/. 17s. 6d. due from the other transaction was to be paid at the same time, it was accepted with as little hesitation as it was proposed. The two ponies having been thus disposed of, the drover waited for the cash, while the purchaser went to put up the ponies, accompanied by Weston, who seemed to take a friendly interest in the bargain on account of both. Some time elapsed, during which a great variety of surmises were made by the drover as to the Cause of the delay. At last it occurred to him, to use his own language, that " it was a regular do," and, upon making particular inquiry, he found that he was en tirely " done " out of one, and nearly " half-done " out of the other pony, and that the conspirators had wholly disappeared from that part of the country. In this dilemma, and as his master determined to make him responsible for the amount, the drover had no alternative but to visit the most convenient mart, and up to London he came in quest of Chilcock and the ponies. lle was particularly lucky in making the journey, for upon walking into Aldgate he saw the pony which had been "entirely lost" trotted up and down before a bidder, and Chilcock and Weston pointing out the animal's perfections. He instantly took hold of his property a n d claimed it, and the two confederates, who thought that a poor drover would be nothing in their hands, violently resented his in terference with the sale, and it was during- the scuffle that the policeman interfered. Alderman HOOPER (to the gipsies)—Well, my honest fellows, why don't you pay this man for the ponies ? Chilcock—Why, you see, your Lord—. Weston—Please your Lordship, he's my brother, and he has got a hesitation in his speech. ni answer for him. . _ Alderman Hoorkat —Then the best way to answer it is to pay the cash. The drover—l'll be satisfied, my Lord, if I get the pony I seized. I'll put up with the loss of the 1/. 17s. 6d. upon the other pony. Alderman I-loom—Prisoners, where is the first pony ? Weston:—l assure you, my Lord, it cut away soon after my brother bought it. He intended to pay the V. 17s. 6d. upon the sale of the other pony, which he was just going to get well off our hands, when he came up and spoiled us. His money would have been all right. Alderman HooPEß—You must send to the livery stable for the pony he found with you, and you must pay the 1/. 17s. 6d., or you shall be immediately in dicted for a conspiracy to defraud this poor fellow. Chilcock—l am willing to give up the pony I have in my possession, but I have no money, and the other pony has wandered away, the Lord knows where. Alderman HOOPER—Then you shall certainly be prosecuted for conspiring to rob this poor Welshman. The tone in which this threat was uttered had an instantaneous effect upon an old gipsy who was standing aloof,and who, without uttering a word, threw down. the 11. 17s. 61., to the great delight of the (fro% er and his master, who most gratefully acknow ledged the kind and judicious interference of the Al derman.

He thanked them midst of our great marts of industry, and summoning for coming among them, and producing so admirable to its aid some of its most favoured sons.

No very long ti me Ifss, largely characterised the various factions into has elapsed since we gave our cordial support to the recommendations contained in a pamphlet I which the politicians of the day hare divided them - let by THE EDUCATION MANiFESTO. The following amusing article we copy from the Church and State Gazette " knife-to-the-death"—a supporter of Sir H. Peel on the fall of the Whigs : " Lord Wharncliffe has certainly a great aptitude for surprising people. We have scarcely recovered our breath at the astonishment into which we were thrown at his late extraordinary exploit in the House of Lords, where of an assembly of judges he made a society of dupes, than we are again the victims of an excited sen sibility, and stand confused with wonder, amusement, and indignation at his Lordship's provincial perform ances at Barnsley. " This noble and astute Peer is undoubtedly the Judas of diplomatists : he betrays under an affectation of an exceeding measure of love. He cajoled the amazed Peers into a desertion of their duty, by anxiously assur ing them that it would be for their own unspeak able benefit, if they permitted the law mice of Whiggery to free the lion of agitation from the healthy toils which bound him. The noble dupes of this crafty counsellor obeyed in the very unconsciousness of their ignorance. Without well knowing what they were doing, they did that of which they neew pretty well know the conse quences ; and Lord Wharncliffe, havin g been so mis chievously successful in deluding the Peers, carries on his vocation of arch deceiver by trying to mystify the people. He has for ever destroyed the efficiency of the House of Lords as a last court of appeal ; and so vivacious is he in his evil doing, that, having bruised the coronets of the peers, he turns restlessly to an assault on the duties and privileges of the clergy. He is so well pleased at having rendered the Lords ridiculous, that he has attempted to strip the clergy of their dignity and usefulness. Having stabbed the State he assaults the Church. May he find in the latter an antagonist more powerful than the mul titude whom he cheated into a dereliction of duty. May his assault on the Church be less successful in its issues than his attempt on the Peers. The latter was effected by a species of petty larceny, and succeeded mainly through the ignorance of those whom he designed for his victims; the former partakes more of the old, yet bad spirit, of the old highwayman. We trust the clergy will neither be alarmed by the boldness, nor deceived by the coolness of their aggressor. Forewarned is forearmed ; and if they are not speedily arrayed in all their panoply, after such a note of warning as that sounded in the Barnsley speech, and reported in our columns of to-day, a too tardy arming will not only not prevent their fall, but that fall itself will fain to win sympathy for those who faltered, when they should have stood firm. "It is needless for us to point out to our clerical readers the portions of that speech which appear to us to be pregnant with prospects of danger to the Church. We confine ourselves to directing attention to it, and leaving !he least suspicious of our readers to form at leisure his own opinions thereon. We are satisfied, however, that with us he will see in this Barnsley manifesto a species of charge to the clergy, made by one assuming an authority above that of the highest dignitary of our Church. This charge will be seen to be replete with a deceitfully affectionate persuasion to the clergy to be confederate to their own wrong. It will be seen that there is an already cut and-dry design to deprive the ministers of the Church of their right, privilege, duty, and office, of being the irresponsible religious teachers of the young. It would have been little had Government declared that the ministers of each sect might be the Mentors of their own peculiar followers ; but it is much that that same Government should be preparing a plan which is to deprive the clergymen of the Church of Eng land of their right of being the uncontrolled counsellors of that Church's children. The new Government plan is evidently one of those centralising ['rejects which is quietly to transfer the education of the people front the clergy, who are their natural instructors, to the equi vocal superintendence of a General Board in Downing street. The real design is. well etivelopedein a very spe cious colouring, but it is clearly discernible nevertheless. The very fearseepologies,explanationeond remonstrance s which, notwithstanding the boldness of the plan, mark the speech of him delegated to demonstrate it, form alone a sufficient ground of suspicion. But, stripped of all the sophistries which enwreathe it, and by which it is intended to delude and mystify the clergy, it amounts to simply this, that the latter shall be no fur ther the superintendents of the education of their flocks, than as they are the deputies of a mixed com mittee in London. The freed3al that is promised them is nothing more than that granted to a man confined to a room, with the liberty of not leaving it. The heads of our Church are the only true and natural guardians of her sons. To the former the education of the latter may be safely entrusted ; .but here is a despoiling power abeve the Church, and that power is now directed to the effecting of a grievous injury. and striking at the privi legesuf that Church. Lord Wharncliffe talks of securi ties ;but, granting them as undeniable now, they may be made a means of further assult hereafter. We pro test, then, against this new Government plan, which, by giving the direction of the entire education of' the youth of England to the Government Ministry of the day, places it in the possible keeping of Arians and Atheists. What ever we may think of the orthodoxy of the present occupants of power, what is to ensure us against the in fidelity and heresy of future Ministries ? Some future Lord Melbourne might make an educational superin tendent of some hereafter-to-be Mr. Owen ; and the Church would in such case protest in vain against the Socialist doctrines of the teachers whose instructions they are bound to obey. The possibility of such a thing must not be for a moment permitted. In this matter the Church must be the master—the Government its aid. On this question, the latter must look up to the Church for instruction, and not down upon her to transmit su percilious directions that are expected to be silently obeyed. Lord Wharncliffe, from his speech, evidently conceives the whole affair to be arranged by the mere announcement of his plans ; and the " hear, hear I" of a portion of his auditory to be the recognition of the Government's condition as rulers, and the clergy's posi tion as slaves. But this is an undue hastening to an ill founded conclusion. The clergy aro forewarned, and, as we said before, forewarned is forearmed !" 1 DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT SLOUGH. On Saturday afternoon an inquest was held before Mr. John Charsley, one of the coroners for Bucks, at the tap at the railway station, Slough, on the body of Aliss Jane Buckstone, a young lady, twenty-nine years of age, the niece of tne late Mr. John Travers, who met with her death by falling from one of the windows of the Royal Hotel, as detailed in the fol lowing evidence : George Boulton, a waiter at the Royal Hotel, was the first witness examined. He stated that, on that morning, at a quarter past five o'clock, in conse quence of hearing a noise like some one breaking into the house, he got up and went into the area, where he heard groans. On opening the shutters of a room on the ground floor, he saw a woman lying on the ground, on her stomach, with her head completely doubled up under her body, and bleeding from the mouth and head. Her shoes were lying about a yard distant from the body. Ile immediately called up Mr. Dotesio, to whom he handed the body through the window, who took it in his arms to the room where it is now lying. The deceased arrived at the hotel last evening, with two other ladies. Mr. Charles Dotesio examined—l am the pro prietor and landlord of the Royal Hotel, at this station. At a little after five o'clock this morning, the last - witness knocked at my bed-room window, and told me that some one had fallen out of the window and was dying. I instantly got up and went into the parlour, where the window was open, and received the body from Boulton, and took it to the apartment where it is now lying. The deceased was in her night clothes. I placed her on a mattress brought by Boulton, and fetched the bed-clothes from off my own bed with the view of warming her, and put my pillow under her head. Having just left my bed, the bed-clothes were warm. 1 immediately sent for Dr. Bryan, who arrived within twenty-five minutes after the body was discovered. I then had my housekeeper called up, and got her to call the aunt and sister of the deceased. During that delay, while I was alone in the room, I kept rubbing her hands and feet. She got warm, and I thought began to breathe. I asked her if she knew where she was, and who I was ? She made an effort to speak, but could not articulate. After the aunt and sister came down, she moved her hands and arms two or three times, and pulled a loose tooth out of her mouth. About half-past six o'clock this morning, deceased's sister gave me a, letter for her brother, which I dispatched by the guard of the luggage train to town. The brother has since arrived. The deceased, with her aunt and sister, slept at my house some weeks ago, on their way to Bath, and they were now on their road front Bath to London. Dr. J. B. Bryan stated that the deceased lived for about an hour and a half after his arrival at the Royal Hotel. She was not sensible, but retained, to a cer tain extent, the power of motion. The injuries she had sustained, which would have been produced by falling from a height, consisted of a very severe con cussion of the brain, and the lower part of the spine was also severely injured. George Powlesland, a waiter at thc Royal Hotel, stated that the deceased and two other ladies upon their arrival last night, took tea and retired to rest about ten o'clock. Ann Meades, housekeeper at the Royal Hotel, stated that after she had called up the aunt and sister, she went into deceased's bed-room, the window of which she found wide open, and the blind drawn up. The table had been removed from its usual position under the window. The deceased's watch was lying in the middle of the bed, which appeared to have been lain in. BOW-STREET. A man named 7hornas Shandbrook, who was dressed in the pirb of a ship-carpenter's labourer, was charged before ➢lr. Hall with creating a great disturbance in the strand, and with assaulting the inspector of police, and one of the officers. Mr. Inspector Logan stated that he was passing the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the Strand, last evening, when he saw the prisoner attempting to force his way into the house, and one of the waiters was preventing him from going in. Witness came up and interposed, When the prisoner struck him on the side of the head and knocked him down. An officer was called, and, with the utmost difficulty, the prisoner was got to the station house, kicking all the way. The prisoner, in his defence, said he had lost 21. in the course of the day, and, to drown his sorrow at this loss, he had got drunk, and, therefore, he did not know what he was about. lie promised never to do so again. Mr. MALL said these assaults on the police must be punished, end sentenced the prisaner to ten days' im prisonment. CLERKEIV WELL Mr. Richard James Chapman, a respectable look • ing middle aged man, residing. at No. 7, Wellington square, an actor at Drury-lane Theatre, appeared before the magistrate to answer charges of assault preferred against him by Emma, his wife. The complainant was herself charged here this morning with being drunk and disorderly. Her hus band appeared to sustain the charge. Mrs. Chapman denied the offence, and, crying bitterly, complained of the cruel treatment practised towards her by the defendant. The magistrate then told the parties to appear before him at three o'clock, if they had not previously arranged the matter amicably. He dis charged Mrs. Chapman. Mrs. Chapman depo-eri, that in consequence of her husband's ill-treatment, she was obliged to run out of the house, 7, Wellington-square, between two and three o'clock on Sunday morning. She was running along the square when the defendant overtook and struck her a violent blow between the eyes, which felled her to the ground. A police constable came up at the moment. The defendant said she had fallen from intoxication, and she was taken to the station house. Mr. GREENWOOD—What made you leave the house at such an Lour? Mrs. Chapman—Because he threa tened to strangle me. lam every moment in fear of my life. Ile nas often threatened to murder me. Last week he said he would shoot me with an air•gun, so that nobody might know anything about it. Mr. GREENWOOD—Has he got an air-gun ? Mrs. Chaptnan—l can't tell, but my life is mi,erable. Mr. GREENWOOD remanded the case to Thursday next, but ordered the defendant to be bound of-r to appear here on that day. Mrs. Chapman then left the tour`, accompanied by her mother. UNION•HALL, Richard Flains, a po.ierful-looking man, was charged with assaulting a woman named Davis, in uch a dan gerous manner, th , t she now lies m th • holoital, with little hope of recovery. Mr. Lawson stated that, about nine o'clock on th , ..? pre ceding night, as he was passing the Catherine Wheel, Union-street, he saw a leinale swing at the door. In a moment aft ,, rwAr.!s he saw tha prisoner come out of the public-house, and, ,zoing up to the woman, he gave h , r a vaden: kick in the loner part of the abdomen, and follo+ved it up by striking her with all his foive. He then tried to escape, when witness attempted to prevent him, and was knocked down by the ruffian, who was at length secured and taken to the station house. The woman whom he a•saulted in the brutal manner above described was conveyed to Guy's Hos pital, aul a certificate was produced, describing that she was in a state of collapse, and was not expected to survive. Mr. COTTINGRAM said that, if the unfortunate woman recovered her speech, he would proceed to the hospital and take her examination, anti that if she died he would certainly commit the prisoner for murder. The prisoner, who appeared perfectly careless as to the result, was remanded. BR 011/L E Y POLICE. A young woman, named Anne Maria Cator,attended before the bench for the purpose of affiliating her illegitimate child upon a person named John Down, in accordance with the provisions of the Amended Poor-law. The case was brought before the bench at its last sitting, but the defendant did not appear upon that or the present occasion. The magistrates thought there was not sufficient corroborative testimony of the state ment of the complainant, and at the request of her father they adjourned the further hearing until to day, the Magistrate observing that owing to the un avoidable difficulty of obtaining corroborative testi mony in such cases, the new law was, to a certain extent, completely inoperative. The complainant deposed that she was a single woman, and that she was delivered of a male illegiti mate child on the 13th of April, and that John Down was the father of that child. In addition to this tes timony a young woman named Miller proved that there had been some familiarity between the com plainant and the person who was alleged to be the father of her child. Sir C. FARNAaY inquired whether there was any further corroborative testimony ? The father of the young woman stated that he had written to defendant since the last hearing, and had received a letter from him in answer, in which he expressed his willing ness to come to some arrangement without allowing the matter to be disposed of by the magistrates. The BENCH expressed their opinion that this admis sion of the defendant, coupled with the other facts, established his liability, and they should feel them selves justified in making an order upon him to sup port the child. - The father, with some warmth, said he thought it was a cruel thing that parties should be put to so much trouble and inconvenience to establish the liability of a party committing an offence of this de scription. If it had been in his power to support the child, he would much rather have done so than have incurred the expense and trouble to which he had been subjected. The BUNCH said that it might be difficult to obtain the necessary evidence, but the magistrates had nothing to do with that matter. They must carry out the law as it stood, and they had no power to act unless sufficient confirmatory evidence was laid before them to support the testimony of the mother of the child. The BENCH then made an order upon the de fendant to pay two shillings per week, and the neces sary process was directed to be issued to enforce the payment of that sum, and also the amount of arrears and expenses. MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE. The returns for the past weak show a larger arrival of English Wheat, chiefly from Lincolnshire and Cam bridgeshire, bot, as the largest portion went direct into the hands of the millers, that portion for sale in our market was only moderate. Of foreign Wheat the re ceipts were small, but those of Barley were tolerably good, while a fair average quantity of Irish Oats came to hand. Fresh up coastwise and by land carriage, a moderate quantity of English came to hand, yet the shim of samples of that grain offering was fair for the time of year. Notwithstanding the millers appear to be well in stock, we had a steady demand for selected qualities, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday last. In the middling and inferior kinds only a limited business was doing, yet a good clearance of most descriptions was effected previous to the close of busi ness. Of free fbreign Wheat the supply was by no means large, yet it was quite equal to the wants ofthe dealers. Se lected parcels were in steady, but not to say brisk, in quiry, at full currencies. All other kinds moved off slowly, at late rates. So little was doing in Corn under lock that the rates may be considered nominally unal tered. The additions lately made to the bonded stocks have been very trifling, as nearly the whole of the im ports of Barley, from the duty being only 3s. per quarter, have been released for home consumption. The show of both English and Foreign Barley was good. Malting parcels moved off steadily, at full prices. Although very little was doing in other kinds, the quotations were sup ported. Of Malt only a limited supply was brought forward; nearly the whole of it was cleared off at last week's currencies. The arrivals of Oats having been on the increase, the show of samples was good, yet the inquiry was steady, at full prices. Beans, Peas, and Flour ruled about stationary. Linseed Cakes were in demand, at full prices. In other kinds of seeds very little was doing. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

We have again to report the arrival of a very exten• sive supply of Beasts from the whole of our grazing districts fresh up to our market ; but, generally speak ing, the quality of the stock was by far inferior to that noticed at the coerespondin4- periods of many preceding years. These larger receipts may be chiefly attributed to the want of adequate quantities of fodder, hence many of the large graziers are compelled to resort to ar tifi.,nal--consequently more expensive —food much earlier than usual. Although there was a fair number of both town and country buyers in attendance, the Beef trade was as dull as we ever remember it. The few prime Scots offering were, however, mostly disi.osed of at last week's prices, or from 3s 8d to 3.10 d per Blbs ; but those of all other kinds suffered an abatement of quite 2d per 81bs, and nearly 400 head left the market unsold. Oue of the most important features connected with the new tariff; is the ahno4 daily-increasing imports of foreign Sheep, which have consisted, during the past week, of 60 head for London, and 100 at the out-ports, from Rotterdam and Ham burgh. These imports, together with those previously advised, make a total, for the present year, of about 500 head. The receipts of Beasts since this day fortnight have amounted to about 90 head from the abovementioned ports; but in their quality, as well as that of the Sheep, no improvement worthy of notice can be reported. The arrivals of Beasts for the year have been as under : Oxen and Cows. London 1,439 Liverpool B2 Hull 740 Southampton Devonport l2O Total... 2,581 head. The foreign stock on sale to-day comprised 15 Beasts and 20 Sheep. The former sold at from 161 to 181, the latter 24s to 29s per head. Fromour northern grazing districts, we received, fresh up to-day, about 2,000 Short horns ; from Norfolk, Sul%lk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, 300 Scots and Home-breds; from the Western and Midland counties, 700 Herefords, Devons, Runts, &c.; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; from Scotland 200 horned and polled Scots; and from Ireland 30 Beasts. The numbers of Sheep were again very large, owing to which the Mutton trade was excessively heavy. A few of the primest Downs produced 4s per 81bs., but the value of all other kinds of Sheep was decidedly lower. There was a very dull sale for Calves, the supply of which was rather scanty, at barely last week's curren cies. In Pigs next to nothing was doing at late rates.
