SOUTHAMPTON, AUGUST 20.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Montrose, Captain R. W. Evans, arrived this morning at nine o'clock, from the Peninsula, bringing all the Peninsular mails. Her dates of departure are as follow :—From Gib raltar, August 11 ; Cadiz, August 12 ; Lisbon, August 14 ; Oporto, August 15 ; and Vigo, August 16, at noon. Ships of war lying at Gibraltar—Her Majesty's ships Caledonia and Formidable, and her Majesty's steamer Vesuvius. Vessels passed off the Rock of Lisbon—The Liver pool steamer, on the 14th ; the Royal Tar, on the 18th, in the bay. Specie on board-8 packages of specie ; full cargo of fruit, 7 head of cattle. Passengers-2 8. Two French war steamers are at Cadiz, taking in coals and provisions for the French fleet . at Mogadore. The Montrose brings a few interesting facts re specting the bombardment of Tangiers. Prince de Joinville alone discharged 3,000 shots. The Moors ) returned the fire with a rapidity which astonished their enemies. The Suffren received 40 shots in her )% side. The Moors fought their guns as long as they 5 ) were serviceable. Her Majesty's steamers Hecla and Vesuvius were ) t quietly looking on the whole of the action, as well as the American frigate Columbia. The town itself has not suffered. The Portuguese Consul's house having been abandoned by the persons in charge, is the only one which has been injured. ) 5 The destruction of the works is not so complete as 4 had been represented ; many of the guns have been D found still serviceable. o There are 23,000 troops at Rabat, and 1,500 cavalry at Tangiers. The free communication with Tangier, since the Prince left, is re-established. ... SPIRIT Gf the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—An attack on a particular minister for incompetency is out of the pale of recognised parlia mentary warfare • and criticisms of the press on the personnel of an administration are apt to be indis ' criminately put down to party hostility. If any ' )4 one were to move, in either House, an address to the Crown to remove Lord Aberdeen, the 5 Government would shift the issue, and make it a ques • tion of confidence ; and the Opposition would for the most part join with the Government in discountenanc ing an unsatisfactory and invidious and (on party 34 principles) inconvenient mode of raising the confi, - - ai dente question. As for us, we are supposed to be only pursuing our calling in denying all manner of .q ability to all the members of her Majesty's present administration ; and a doubt of Lord Aberdeen's capacity will be read, at least by all who are of op posite political belief, as dislike of his politics. We will not stop to inquire how much this belief in the in sincerity of newspaper criticisms on men is the fault 5 1 ,4 of the press itself, or of the whole system of party; or 5 % how much it is only poor human nature after all, not I more apparent in the effect of our political likings 5 % on our judgments, than in the Tory's disbelief of all s% he reads in the Globe, and concurrence in the o Herald's depreciation of all the eminent members of o Opposition. But we will say this for our own sin !3s• cerity and desire to be fair—that we should as firmly o refuse to disparage Sir Robert Peel's intellectual and 1) % moral claims to the respect of those who differ from 6 % him, or Sir James Graham's administrative ability, as 19 we now declare our belief that Lord Aberdeen is i unequal to the crisis in foreign affairs which his own incompetency has chiefly brought about ; and 54 5 that we should no more think of denying Lord 5 Aberdeen's desire to promote England's interests to the utmost, and maintain his country's honour, 1 - than we can believe in his ability to execute his desires. 334 The utmost possible, of course, is done, in the for -5 mation of a government, towards placing men of ade -5 quate ability at the head of all the chief departments, a and distributing appropriate knowledge and talent 5 among them. Common prudence will lead the Pre mier to do this. But then what are the circum stances which determine " the utmost possible ?'' ) The choice of men is restricted, first of all to !IA the members of one party, which may be sterile in talent, though unscrupulous Peer-makers who have 134 5% gone before have made it numerous in one branch of the legislature, and money and proprietary power in the other. Then the choice, thus limited to begin with,•may be further narrowed by party conven -7 4 1 tionalities and engagements. Lord - Lyndhurst must 3 preside over the Court of Chancery, as long as he 9 5 wishes it, while his friends are in power, however ' 6 much Chancery suitors may rue the indolence of his old age ; Lord Stanley's party services must be re -2 quited by a leading office, even at the r isk of sacri o tieing colonies to the impetuosity of temper, which as 4 much spoils the Minister as it makes the orator eifec -3 tive ; and prescription gives the Foreign-office to Lord 5 Aberdeen. But this is a moment when nerv e, deci -5 sion, vigour, and a clear head are imperatively needed in the Foreign-office ; and who gives Lord Aberdeen 3 credit for any of these qualities ? At such a moment, 3 the party conventionality which keeps him in 5 office may bring us, before we know where 3 we are, into war, which foresight and rea sonable boldness might have averted, or save 5 us from it by some new weak concession, un -2% worthy of our country's position, and sure to increase 6 our difficulties in the end. Sir Robert Peel's control 3 of Lord Aberdeen alone gives hope to the public of a successful issue for the present crisis in our relations with France—of reparation for the wrongs at Otaheite, 4 of the prevention of French occupation of Tangiers, of 6 O the frustration of French designs upon Tunis. But Sir 7 Robert Peel cannot always be at his elbow. And at this critical time what irretrievable mischief may 6 be done any day, with one stroke of his pen, by the Foreign Minister, who blundered out the excuse for I% the outrage on Mr. Pritchard that he had ceased to f 4 be Consul, and who has been able to see no reason for demanding punishment of the French Consul at Tunis, who unwarrantably interfered with our Consul's performance of his duty in respect to the trial of a Maltese murderer, and by a series of ► vexatious intrigues among the Maltese at Tunis, en dangered our Consul's life ? And if there be, as we 1?. fervently pray there may, a successful issue out of the present difficulties, will Sir Robert Peel continue to entrust to Lord Aberdeen's weak trembling hands 4 the foreign policy which he has already so grievously Ts mismanaged ? STANDARD.—The Morning Post has extracted . 34 from the John Bull an article of some length, de nouncing the Ministerial plans for the improvement of 31 Ireland. To our judgment, there is nothing surprising in the displeasure of the John Bull at the plans in ques g tion, or in the adoption of that displeasure by the Morning Post. It would be extremely difficult to sug gest any measure of the present Government with which these parties would not find some fault. 11 ‘ Fifteen years ago, indeed, when the battle of the Pro testant constitution was to be fought in good earnest, 34 our Contemporaries were a little more tractable ; but then the contest concerned principles, not private interests, and when did factious writers care about principles ? In 1829 the principle of the Pro 's 4 testant constitution was abandoned, and little hope seemed to remain for the Reformed Church in the 1 , 14 United Kingdom. Its legal defences were thrown down ; and in the only portion of the United King dom in which a popular influence was acknowledged %, by the Legislature, namely, in Ireland , t he p o p ular : influence was hostile to the Church. All true Pro testants then saw, what we believe escaped the notice of the John Bull and Morning Post, that a Parliamentary reform, which would balance ; 14 the popular influence in Ireland by a popular in fluence in Great Britain, was indispensable to protect the Church and the country from ruin. The remedy was a rough one, and attended with some risk, but it was the only remaining remedy. The Protestant 1% people of this country adopted it : the Irish Romanists had disqualified themselves to resist by their recent ,% struggle : a Parliamentary reform was carried, with 44 1 many objectionable details oeyond dispute, but a Parliamentary reform which, in substance, gave to the people that independent influence upon the Legis lature which allowed the Church to defend herself, and to defend the interests of the Protestant religion, much better than either had been defended by the patrons of schedule A and sched ule B. The re- S form of 1832, in fact, to a great extent, re paired the evil of the Bill of 1829, by placing the Protestant Church in Ireland directly under the protection of the Protestant people of England. We are well aware that the confidence Aq for a few years very unworthi l y re p osed in the 4 4 Ministers by whom the Parliamentary Reform was 17 effected, exposed the Irish branch of the Church to some severe trials, and to actual injury; . es% but this state of suffering, incident, pe rha p s, to i °4 every violent change, soon found its term, and 5 % the last Ministerial revolution has placed the Irish branch of the Church upon a foundation to which every hour must give additional strength. There is now no question of the safety of the Church in Ireland, we hear of no projects for buy ing off the assaults of enemies by surrender of its property or of its dignity—no proposition to arm its enemies with new means of injuring it. No; the measures by anticipation condemned are measures the immediate and direct object of which is, no doubt, to raise the Roman Catholic population of Ireland to the condition of the other Raman Catholic populations of Europe —a level to which they have not yet approached, and to incorporate them, as far as the difference of religion will permit, with the mass of the British population ; but the remote and indirect effect of this must be greatly to augment the power 100 0 e Stock Stock 147 9 0 Stock 5411 - 5 0 50 0 63 2 50 0 160 0 ..... 70 10 S 500 0 0 25 0 0 100 0 0 100 0 0 50 0 0 250 0 0 750 0 0 100 0 0 100 0 0 50 0 0 1000 0 0 29 0 0 20 0 0 20 0 0 Stock 100 0 0 25 0 0 25 0 0 500 0 0 100 0 0 100 0 0 100 0 0 50 0 0 95 0 0 25 0 0 20 0 0 50 0 0 50 0 0 20 0 0 100 0 0 5 0 0 Stock 100 0 0 100 0 0 200 0 0 40 0 0 5. 0 0 100 0 0 100 0 0 100 0 0 50 0 0 25 0 0 100 0 0 10 0 0 50 0 0 100 0 • 90 0 0 M 0 0 25 0 • 50 0 0 20 0 0 40 0 0 20 00 77 10 0 50 0 0 20 0 0 2000 2000 100 0 0 100 0 0 75 0 0 50 0 0 50 0 0 50 0 0 25 0 0 30 0 0 50 0 0 100 0 e 50 0 • 50 0 0 50 0 0 50 0 0 25 0 0 100 e 0 41 13 4 100 0 0 O 0 O 0 12 0 0 0 All paid 60 0 0 40 0 0 2' 50 0 s 0 11 o o 18 5 0 0 '6 5 0 0 16 55 0 0 b 0 0 11 2 10 0 6 10 0 0 50 0 5 250 0 0 400 Al paid 20 2 0 0 1/.'l, 3 0 0 36 10 0 49 2 10 0 i 6 2 10 ( 50 0 0 188 10 0 0 15 613 0 27 10 0 0 45 20 0 5 12 10 0 16 12 10 0 18 2 10 0 2 2 0 0 5 0 0 40s. 1 0 0 215. 10 0 0 25 10 0 • _ 5 5 0 0 65 0 1 20 0 I I 40 0 0 sr 40 0 0 4S 50 0 0 41 90 0 0 2 25 0 1:: 20 0 0 2t 20 0 0 10 0 0 li 7 10 0 25 0 0 4 10 0 • 1 17 10 • 1 35 0 0 S 10 0 8 10 0 0 1 25 0 0 1 10 0 0 1 16 0 0 Di 0 9 19 0 0 50 0 9 o 0 - 1 o e o • 154 5 0 'n • 0 '7C • 0 35 • 0 EC o 0 O 0 6( O 0 3, O 0 '7l O 0 21 O 0 a el i 0 1: 25 0 0 TILE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 20, 1844. and efficiency of the Protestant Church. We see in these measures precisely that system for which we have perseveringly contended—not for one or two ad ministrations, or for half a dozen or a dozen years, but from the first establishment of this journal, 16 years ago—the system namely, of reforming the Romanist clergy, through the laity of their own communion (the only way in which a Romanist clergy ever was or ever will be reformed), and reforming the laity by kindness, by encouragement, and by instruction. The reverse of this was the policy which brought Ireland to her present—may we not rejoice in rather saying her late—condition. The plan of Government in troduced by Lord Glenelg, of governing Ireland by the aid of the priests, had been pretty con stantly pursued from 1818 to 1842, with what effect upon the Romanist population, and with what injury to the Protestant interest, we can all see. "It is certain," says De Retz, " that in government you can never make use of an order without adding greatly to the power of that order." And there can be no question that the Glenelg scheme of Irish government infinitely augmented the power of the priests, the natural enemies of our Church and therefore of England, the natural enemies, too, of intelligence, civilisation, national prosperity, and whatever detracts from an authority founded in ignorance, and its companion, poverty. Let us hope, then, that the Glenelg policy is about to be re versed —that ' the higher and middle classes of Roman Catholics are invited to a complete incorporation with their Protestant fellow-citizens, whose society they must naturally have so many motives to cultivate.

SUGAR.—lmporters of West India submitting to a de cline on previous rates of 6d per cwt, has occasioned a considerable increase in the demand for all descriptions. To-day West India Sugar was in excellent request for the scale and refining purposes ; and the rates paid were 6d per cwt above those previously quoted for good and fine yellow kinds ; all other sorts fully sustained the former ; some boards of fine yello w Antigua d of at 66s 6d to 68s per cwt; the were private purchases reached 550 hhds, &c. At a public sale of 144 hhds 6 trcs of Barbadoes Sugar, the trade evinced little inclination to operate in consequence of the large proportion of Foots it contained; prices declined Gd to 15 per cwt, and a part only sold; fine yellow 63s 6d to G4s ; good 61s to 62s ; good middling 59s to 59s 6d ; and middling 57s to 58s 6d per cwt. REFINED.—The home trade have been induced to take large parcels of refined goods, in consequence of l o wer rates having been accepted. To-day a good deal of business has been transacted in Refined goods, but prices do not improve; brown lumps selling at 72s 6d to 735, and Standard Lumps 73s 6d: Bonded Crushed Sugar is much wanted, and sales for delivery made at 27s 3d to 27s 6d per cwt. MAURITIUS. — The market having been largely sup plied, has produed a decline on former rates of 6d per cwt. A good demand, however, has prevailed for all descriptions, fine yellow at 62s 6d to 63s Gd, good mid dling to good 57s to 59s 6d, low to middling 53s to 56s 6d, good to fine brown 50s to 535, middling to good middling 465 to 49s 6d, low and very low 40s to 455, common to middling grey 52s to 565, and good 56s 6d to 58s per cwt; the chief part consisted of the lower qualities. This afternoon a fair demand existed, principally for all sorts of Mauritius, and former prices were maintained ; there was no public sale. EAST INDlA.—lmporters of Bengal Sugar have again supplied the market freely, good and fine white and strong yellow sorts met with ready purchasers at full prices, but for all inferior kinds the demand has been limited, and a reduction on former rates of 6d to is per cwt has been accepted. This afternoon some desire was shown to purchase Bengal Sugar, and the parcels sold privately were at full prices. FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale, but pri vately some parcels of brown Bahia were sold at 18s to 19s per cwt. The Dutch Trading Company have de clared 45,000 baskets and boxes of Java Sugar for auc tion on the sth of September. MoLAssEs.—For West India the demand has consi derably increased • Demerara good a t 22s to 22s 6d, Antigua 235, St. Vincent 225, St. Kitts 20s to 225, and other sorts of Molasses at 24s to 25s per cwt. In East India the operations are extremely limited at 14s to 17s ; of West India Tamarinds 50 kegs at auction were taken in at 56s per cwt. To-day 50 puns St. Vincent's Mo lasses were sold at 228 per cwt. good d togoo COCOA.—West India has b een in brisk request, and an advance in prices of 2s per c wt has taken p lace ; Tri nidad fine red at 475, good 455 Gd to 465, middling and d middlinggr grey yl4s 40s s d t o t o 4424856, d or ; di 4 n 9 a o ry ba 4 g O s s t 044056 d, barrelso and f Grenada fetched 41s to 42s 6d for good middling and good red, and middling 40s ; Dominica 41s per cwt. In Foreign more business has been transacted at previous rates. TEA.—lmporters of black and green Tea have shown firmness, but there has been a falling off in the demand. If merchants had submitted to a slight decline in prices, it would have occasioned the principal part of the Tea offered to be dispose 3 of. To-day there was more busi ness transacted in Tea, and the market has a firm appear ance ; sales of common and good sound common Congou, cash, made privately at lOid to ls per lb. COFFEE.—lmporters of West India are not disposed to submit to lower prices, and supply the market spa ringly. This afternoon Mocha Coffee was in limited demand, and of 817 bales at auction a very small part only found buyers at a decline on previous rates of is per cwt--middling brownish clean garbled went at 70s Gd to 71s Gd, rather broken 56s to 58s, triage 20s to 225, but the remainder of sound quality was taken in at 72s for good mid greenish, 68s to 70s for mid, 58s for ord, and 82s for g ood yellow. Cey lon was in slow request, and 215 bags at auction were only partly sold at rather lower rates---low mid pale B.

In Oeylon little business was transacted privately, and 54s to 55s accepted for good ord. SPICES.—The market has been well supplied with black Pepper since Tuesday last. This afternoon at auction 60 casks 107 bags African Ginger were taken in at 56s ; 72 bags of Bengal at 255, 100 bags of Malabar at 255, being above the value, and 16 casks of Mace from New York at 2s 6d per lb for common. SALTPETRE.—To -day less desire was shown to pur chase rough, and 2,490 bags of Calcutta at public sale were nearly all taken in generally at previous rates, viz., 121 per cent refraction mid grey at 245, 111 to 9i ditto 24s 6d, 9 to 84 ditto 255, a few lots were sold at 24s 6d for 1 I-I to 10 per cent mid grey, and unrefracted 24s to 24s 6d per cwt, being barely former prices.

Jamaica 30 to 33 per cent over proof fair quality at 3s 5d to 3s Bd, over good 3s 10d to 4s, 36 to 38 over fine 4s 4d to 4s Gd, and superior 4s 10d to 5s Gd per gallon ; shippers as well as the home trade are inclined to get well into stock. Demerara at 3s 3d to 3s 4d for 32 to 37 per cent over proof. Calcutta Rum 2s ld to 2s 2d per gallon paid for proof, with certificate.

On Saturday last, about five o'clock in the after noon, a very large number of people, princi pally military men, were attracted into Hyde Park to witness the horsemanship and mili tary exercises of a very curious individual, a Tartar soldier, formerly in a Mahomedan regiment of cavalry in the Russian service, who, it was understood, would exhibit himself and his horse in front of the Horse Guards barracks. Accordingly, at five o'clock, or shortly . after, the Tartar made his appearance, ac companied by several gentlemen on horseback, one of whom appeared to act as his interpreter, and in some degree to direct his movements, and a large space of ground for his evolutions was cleared out and kept, as the term is, by the privates of the 2d Regiment of Life Guards. The Tartar is a good-looking man, apparently between twenty-five and thirty years of age, of an athletic frame, with con siderable squareness of limb, but with no superfluous flesh. He stands about five feet ten inches in height, and may weigh about 13 stone. He was dressed in a tight fitting tunic of rose-coloured silk, wadded, and capable of resisting a hard blow ; very loose trousers, drawn tightly round his legs just below the knee, and met by tight black boots almost resembling long gaiters. On his head was a sheepskin cap of black wool, similar to those worn by the Persians who were in the suite of the Persian Ambassador when in this country a few years ago. He had mustachios on the upper lip. His arms consisted of a pair of pistols, which, in the course of his performances, he repeatedly discharged, and a pole about ten or a dozen feet long, which he used as a lance, throwing it with considerable force when galloping, and with so correct an aim, that had it not been for the quickness and agility of the gentleman who volunteered to be the object of his aim, and who was also on horseback, a broken head or a fractured bone would probably have been the result. We believe this part of his practice is what is called throwing the " djereed." The Tartar also dis plays considerable skill in lifting this weapon from the ground without dismounting, but this he performed without putting his horse in motion, mak ing him stand still whilst he recovered his weapon. He also threw himself off his horse while at the top of his speed, and vaulted again into the saddle with great ease. The performances were very well in their way, but nothing that cannot be done, more especially the equestrian feats, by a large proportion of the men in our cavalry regiments, and by hundreds of others; and the spectators did not seem to be much astonished by what they beheld. Towards the close of the exhibition Mr. Maynard, formerly an officer of the Blues, the son of Lord Maynard, mounted upon a troop horse, with a fencing foil, undertook to encounter the Tartar, who was armed with a basket-hilted single-stick, and nothing daunted by his formidable appearance and reputation as a swordsman, succeeded with apparent ease in in flicting a " palpable hit" upon his ribs, just beneath the left arm of the Tartar (who is a left-handed swordsman), as the latter raised his arm to inflict a perpendicular cut at his head. The Tartar did not appear to comprehend what had occurred, and in rather an irritable manner dismounted and did not renew the contest. Mr. Maynard then threw his fencing-glove on the ground, and putting his horse in a canter, lifted it up without dismounting. This gen tleman also exhibited the feat of vaulting into the saddle, and in the comparison of horsemanship with the Oriental foreigner certainly suffered nothing. As a skilful swordsman the Tartar is certainly to be sur passed by many of those who were on the ground, and many of the Life Guardsmen expressed their willingness to contend with him. On Tuesday last, we believe, he exhibited at the barracks in the Re gent's-park, and was matched with Limbard, consi dered the best swordsman in •the regiment quartered there, and also with Hemmingway, a good swords man of the same regiment. Limbard, in the sporting phrase, had the best of him, and Hemmingway also set him at nought. In the course of the exercises of that day he discharged his pistol so close to the face of the last named of these two men, that the powder drew blood, and the man's face is blued, probably for the rest of his life, as such marks are rarely oblite rated. Some allowance must, however, be made for the impetuosity of the Tartar, and his total unac quaintance with the manner and feeling in which our national sports are carried on. The following account of this singular personage may not be uninteresting to our readers ; we have it from a gentleman who has had opportunities of in quiring and coming at the facts :—Balthazar Beck Pogus is the son of a Kniaz, or Khan of Independent Tartary, a country which boasts of never having been conquered by, or subject to any foreign power. The inhabitants are Christians. At the early age of four teen, Balthazar joined the Circassian army and fought against the Russians for three years. At the end of this time the troop in which he served were taken prisoners, when engaged in a battle near Tiflis. As Balthazar had no choice left but to be sent to Siberia or to take service in the Russian army, in the hopes that some day or other a chance of escape would offer itself, he chose the latter, and was sent to Warsaw, where he was placed in a Mussulman regiment, and served in it for nine years. In November last, a mus ter of his regiment was ordered ; the horsemen under his command consisted of 29, but as he appeared on parade with 28 only, his superior officer inquired why the number was not complete, and on being told that the reason was, that one of the men had been taken very ill in the morning, and there had been no time to report the circumstance, he exclaimed, " Christian dog, I shall punish you for this breach of discipline; you are one of those who eat pork, and your religion is a dog's religion !" and at the same time struck Bal thazar on the breast in an insulting manner with the back of his hand. Thus outraged without cause, be fore his own men, the Tartar could no longer master his feelings, and, in a state of frenzy, he drew his sword and cut down the officer who had so griev ously wronged him. He saw, in a moment, that he was a lost man, and there was no safety for him but in the desperate expedient of flight Beckoning to his cousin and his ser vant, who served in the same regiment, tq follow, he started without losing #s moment. They made for the frontier of Prussia, but by mistake they took the road of Plock instead of Plonak. Meanwhile an alarm was raised, and Cossacks were sent in pur suit of them ; but although the pursuers obtained fresh hordes at the different pickets, so well were the fugitives mounted, that it was not till after they had ridden twelve hours, having performed a distance of 120 English miles, and being very nc,a,r. the Vrusiian frontier, they were at length overtaken. An officer with seven men rode up to them, calling out to Bal i thazar to surrender. He replied " Never;" and added "You know me, and that when I take an aim [ADVERTISMENT.] I never miss ; if therefore, you value your life, suffer TO TILE H E EDITOR OF TILE SUN. me to proceed." At that moment two pistol shots Sra,—Nare beg to send for publication the follow in g were heard, and his companions dropped dead from' cure of consumption, by the universal medicine.—W e theirhorses.

OLD COURT. _. _ James Richard Downes, - 23, clerk, was indicted for feloniously embezzling three several sums of IL 6s. 6d., 6/. 175., and IL 6s. 6d, the moneys of Robert Saywell, his master. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. BALLANTINE, who appeared on behalf of the pri soner, urged, in mitigation of punishment, that the prisoner had, heretofore, borne a good character, and also stated that his master was desirous to recommend him to the merciful consideration of the Court. Mr. Saywell, in answer to inquiries from the Court, said he was dattous to recommend the prisoner to the mercy of the Court, but he was at the same time compelled to state that the sums mentioned in the in dictment were not mere isolated cases of embezzle • ment, but he had reason to believe that he had received other sums, to the amount of 150/., which he had appro priated to his own use. The prisoner was sentenced to be kept to hard labour for twelve calendar months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) BOW-STREET. Yesterday afternoon Michael Read, and Jane Fur pley were brought before Mr. Hall, charged with cruelly cutting and stabbing James O'Flaherty with a pair of scissors. The occurrence took place on Saturday night in the lodgings of the wounded man, to which the two prisoners went ; and he was so badly injured as to be immediately removed to King's College Hospital. Being unable to appear, Mr. Hall sent a messenger f'')/. Mr. Twyford, who proceeded with the second clerk, Mr. Bowstead, to the hospital, to take the de positions of the wounded man. The statement of O'Flaherty was, that he was sit ting, on Saturday night, in his house, when the two prisoners entered, and after they had sat for some time drinking together, the male prisoner wished the female to go away with him, which she refused, whereupon he struck her. The wounded man inter fered, and was immediately struck by Read, whom he immediately collared, struggled with, and fell. While down Read seized a pair of button-hole scis sors, with which he inflicted many deep and desperate wounds in all parts of O'Flaherty's person. When separated the prosecutor was nearly dead from loss of blood ; and on being removed to the hospital, was found to be wounded most severely. The prisoner was remanded till the improved state of the prosecutor's health permitted his appearance. Patrick Larkin was brought up for final examina tion, charged with stealing several letters from the Post-office. The facts of the case appeared in The Sun last week. The prisoner said nothing in his de fence, and was fully committed for trial. QUEEN-SQUARE. UNPARALLELED ACTIVITY IN THE BOOK TRAD S ' e I t About a fortnight since, a young man neatly dre ss o r with something of the air of a Dissenting minist,er bt country schoolmaster, called at the shop of Messrs.lagi o and Ridler, the well-known booksellers and librariao ere High-street, Bristol, and inquired how often they W o o in the habit of writing to London for books. The s ag b is was " every evening." In that case he would tot er , them to order for him six dozen of a sixpenny plane entitled the "Biter Bit," the parcel, when received , t ° o sent to Mr. John Duncan, No. —,_ Stoke's Croft. i ll bit course of the same day, a young bookseller, who ge ts r e• parcels through Messrs.

Mr. Head stated that the object of his visit was to reply to a romantic statement which had been made at that Court on Saturday last. The magistrate would remember that a female named Bird had come before him, and said that about one or two-and twenty years ago her child had been taken from her by Mrs. Pelham, and that she had never been able to find her until that day, when she recognised her at Chelsea workhouse. Mrs. Pelham had felt it her duty to come forward, and was now prepared to meet the charge, which had not the slightest foundation, and which was calculated to do her a very serious injury. She had enough to answer at the present moment without being made the victim of such idle stories as these, and was desirous of putting the ma gistrate in possession of such facts as must leave the inference on his mind that she was innocent of this charge. The woman's child was stated by her to be one or two-and-twenty years of age, while Wilson Pelham, the conjectured offspring, was above three and twenty, and, as regarded property, there was not a penny coming to him in any way. There was a total absence of all motive in the affair, as Mrs. Pel ham had not the slightest expectancy, by substitution or otherwise, of receiving any emolument by him, and moreover, she could distinctly prove that he was her own child. Mr. Ryder had, it appeared to him, been extraordinarily zealous in this matter, far indeed, he considered, beyond his duty as chairman of the Board of Guardians. Mr. BURRELL interrupted the gentleman. He did not agree with what he said of Mr. Ryder. Mr. Head continued—Some observations had been made on the subject of some'property—an allowance received by Mrs. Pelham from Edinburgh ; that pro perty had been left to Mrs. Pelham thirty-one years ago by her own mother, and he held in his hand at that moment a letter from the North British Rail way Company, treating with her on the subject of her property, which was situate in the Canongate, at Edinburgh. He concluded by repeating that there was not the slightest grounds for this charge, and ex pressed a hope that as the poison had gone forth so would the, antidote.

Mr. BURRELL said that he had not yet taken any steps in the matter, as his mind was undecided. Mr. Head and Mrs. Pelham then withdrew. There is no truth whatever in the paragraph in the Standard of Wednesday with respect to the com missioning the vessels comprising the experimental squadron. Not only are they not commissioned, but there is not a commission or warrant down for any of them. The report in the same paper that Captain A. L. Corry had commissioned the Firebrand, and hoisted a Commodore's broad pendant on board, is equally erro neous. With respect to the brigs, there is some doubt as to their being commissioned at all ; the men may be wanted for larger ships, and as a reason for the remark we may state that an inquiry has been sent down to know how soon six sail of the line can be at Spithead. The reply was three weeks, exclusive of manning. We may also state that men are entering at the Tower for " general service."—Hamp s hi re Ad ver ti ser .
