SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. !F A ROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. G OBE.—A system is extensively acted upon by the Newgate authorities under the sanction of the Prison Committee, which, if not firmly , re sisted by . the attorneys and barristers of the Cen tral Criminal Court, will tend to create a mono poly of practice, at once injurious to the profes sion and to the administration of public justice. The poorer class of prisoners are especially sufferers from the practice alluded to. At the moment of their trial, these unfortunate creatures find them selves destitute of counsel, who, they supposed, had been entrusted with their defence, but who neither appear in person or by proxy. Their absence is not even accounted for or supplied—for this best of all reasons, there is no responsible person, in the character of at torney or agent, to attend to the case, or to see that some gentleman of the bar holds a brief for the prisoner. This has long been a crying evil in the Court alluded to. Judges have frowned, and Aldermen on the rota, with others of the grave and reverend Seigniors of the Civic Bench, have promised to interfere, to see that the case of the unfortunate prisoners, if conducted by counsel, should be properly prepared, and their defence arranged with regard teethe grounds on which they proposed to rest their proof of exculpation, or their appeal for the merciful consideration of the court. The cause of the inconvenience and injuries to the prisoners so frequently complained of, on being inquired into, were found to originate in the reception of briefs by counsel from hands that are not strictly professional. Barristers had not been sufficiently tenacious of etiquette. They had not strictly inquired, before accepting it, whe ther a brief for a prisoner's defence was indorsed by an attorney of her Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench. Hence, disreputable persons had found access to prisoners or their friends ; had taken their money, scraped together with difficulty, and at the expense of many sacrifices, and had then, either wholly or par tially, neglected the necessary arrangements for the defence. When their trial came on, the wretched pri soners found that their witnesses ha d: not been got to :tether ; and often that counsel had not been instructed. The attorney or agent was either not in court, or some false excuse was trumped up to meet the occa sian. Well, how have these wise and virtuous re• formers of abuses in the Court of which they are permitted by the Legislature to be the controllers and directors, proposed to cure these evils ? The ' obvious course would have been to take effective mea sures for excluding unauthorised practitioners from the Court ; to have kept a properly authenticated list of the practitioners; copies of which list should be exhibited in some conspicuous place in the pri son of the Court, and instructions given that none but such, or their recognised clerks—except on the special application of a prisoner—should be allowed access to him, to receive instructions for preparing his defence. The same, or somewhat similar, checks, might be provided in the Court. Let a similar list be made out, and supplied to each gentleman of the Bar, among whom an understanding should exist that no brief, except passing from one of these accredited practitioners, shall be received by them. A breach of this understanding should he regarded as an offence against the rules of the Bar, and subjecting the individual to censure, and, on repeti tion, to be dis-barred. But how have the City func tioneriee sought to reform the evils which have existed ? By a plan at once invidious in design, and inefficient in operation. A plan injurious and unjust towards the practitioners of the Court, the mejority of whom it excludes from a fair competition, by creating a monopoly ; while it frequently leaves the prisoners, for whose pro tection it professes to provide, positively without the professional aid it promised to secure, and for which they had paid their :noney to the prison autho rities, for the special purpose of procuring it. We have received complaints from various quarters of the strange interposition of the Newgate authorities, in the way of advice and recommendation to prisoners as to the attorney and counsel they should employ. We were also assured that touting for business—of which so much complaint was made from the civic function aries, as derogatory from the dignity of the profession, and injurious to the interests of the prisoners—was only transferred from the outside to the inside of the nrison. -- We were slow of belief that sunk practices were permitted, much less sanctioned to any extent, and refused to commit oursel% es to statements that e ere obviously incompatible with the perfect freedom of choice which even a prisoner accused of felony should be allowed to exercise in his choice of an advocate. Under duress, the accused may be supposed to be in fluenced by hope that, if he comply with the sugges tion of his gaoler—in his circumstances possessing the force of a request, if not of a command—some specific o r undefined advantage will accrue to him by coin pliatkce, either before trial, or after conviction, if he be found guilty. STANDARD.—We presented, yesterday, to our readers, a pretty full report of the proceedings at the opening of the New, and now " Royal" Exchange, up to the time of our ring to press. We add, to day, such particulars as we were yesterday compelled to omit, or as had not reached us in time. Nothing of the kind could pass over in a manner more gratifying than did yesterday's ceremonial. The day was auspi cious—a splendid day for the season. The arrange ments made by the military and police were perfect, and observed, we would say, rather than en forced, with the utmost urbanity and gocd temper ; and the people were, as they always are when the subordinate functionaries of power will let them, in a high degree of good humour, determined to be pleased, and to welcome their beloved Queen with that hearty welcome which Englishmen know how to offer. The universal enjoyment was heightened by the un equivocal proofs afforded by her Majesty's gracious smiles, that she fully participated in it; and if poli tical feeling, which so often " mars the fair face of a festal day," was not altogether laid aside, we must count all the hundreds of thousands who witnessed the ceremony as stanch Conservatives, for nothing could be more complimentary than the reception everywhere of the Queen's Ministers, more particu larly the reception of Sir Robert Peel. The cere mony of yesterday is, indeed, distinguished in this respect from every form or ceremony of the description—that there was no expression of political sentiment breathed through the day. Much of this no doubt was due to the calming influence of the Queen's presence; but we question whether that influence, sweet and powerful as it must be, would have produced the effect, bad there been any bitter political feelings to agitate any portion of the multitude : for the rest, we are not aware that a single serious accident or the slightest scuffle interrupted the general happiness of the day. Whoever rightly considers the ceremony of yester day will see in it abundant reasons to be grate ful to the Divine Giver of all good, who has so signally favoured this country ; and, in humble submission to that gratitude, ample cause for pride, to the progress and prospe c t s of Eng land. The occasion of the fete which has just passed, has reference to commerce ; but while we honour commerce as it merits we must not deify it, as we see in some a disposition to do. England owes much of her wealth, and power, and intelligence to commerce ; but to what does she owe her commerce ? In the first place, to the favourable position for defence, and for universal communication, in which she has been placed by the Divine Ruler ; next, to the hardy courage and indomitable energy of her people, their high moral instinct, exalted and strengthened by the blessed Reformation; lastly to that wise system of government called "the constitution ;" which, protecting the liberty of all, maintains im • partially the balance among all. It is with these ad vantages, and under shelter of this system, that com merce has grown out of agriculture ; and if the course of progress is to be continued, agriculture must in turn be repaid the debt from the accumulations of com merce. The prosperity of a merely commercial country never has been, and never will be, permanent. When, 270 years ago, Elizabeth opened the first Royal Exchange, commerce stood in need of the royal countenance and protection. The aristocracy looked down upon the richest citizen with about the same sense of superiority that a rich citizen would now look down upon a farmer, a curate, a young lawyer, or an humble professor of literature. These wide and insulting distinctions, however, always tend to enmity and opposition ; and by such oppo sition the resources of a people are dissipated, and their opportunities of wealth and happiness lost. Elizabeth was too wise not to see this, and she, there fore, took every opportunity of conferring dignity upon trade. In our age there is no danger of trade being treated with contempt, as we think yester day's exhibition abundantly testifies ; and, there flare, it is absurd to suppose that the compliment of the Queen's visit was like Elizabeth's, ad dressed principally to the interests of commerce, to the Lord Mayor of London, or to the re spectable gentlemen of the Gresham Committee. It was an occasion for the Queen to meet all her people —an occasion doubtless derNing much of its interest from the ooneideration that Elizebeth had been a pro minent actor on a former occasion of the same kind ; bat to meet her people—all her people, and to gratify then by her presence, was the true motive of the Queens visit. A curious atitc - sOrie , :vliat - i . inis - ing incident occurred in the Strand during the It is usual on all such pu rring of . the rod al pr.cessi • n Ole police stationed in different°c castoas to have man , of (. 1 reg sed in coloured clothes, in order the of the streets 3 to t i p an eye upon thieves and pickpockets. more k ff, ctually t h ese . men had discovered a common ethfe°feitet3.One of picking," thp pocket of a student of Kin(%s in the act of took him into custoly.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Oct. 29.) SITGAR.—To-day buyers of West India Sugar came forward with more freedom, and for bright yellow sorts there was a good demand; indeed, the quantity on show is not ample for the wants of the trade, and very full rates were paid; in inferior kinds a fair business was transacted, and generally upon former terms; but there is still a large supply. The total purchases are 500 hhds, &c., including a public sale of 144 hhds 6 trcs of Barbadoes Sugar. which went upon former terms, excepting for the low sorts, which are rather cheaper, the whole found purchasers, fine selling at 62s 6d, good 59s to 60s 6d, good middling 57s to 58s 6d, middling 56s to 56s 6d, and low middling 55s to 55s 6d per cwt. The Sugar on show is that principally worth from 53s to 57s 6d. Raw Sugar is cheaper than at Liverpool, Bristol, or Glasgow, by 2s to 5s per cwt. REFINED.—To-day there was a good business trans acted in Refined Sugar for home consumption; brown grocery lumps fetched 725, and standard lumps 73s per cwt. Bonded crushed Sugar was much sought after, and buyers were compelled to pay 28s 6d per cwt for delivery. For Loaves an extensive demand has sprung up, and the market has been nearly cleared, 400 hhds have been sold, 101 b at 29s 6d per cwt. MAURlTlUS.—lmporters have shown firmness, and the market has been sparingly supplied with all descrip tions : by private contract some parcels have been dis posed of upon former terms : at public sale 89 bags were disposed of, middling yellow at 545, low 51s 6d, mid brown 465, and very low black brown 39s per cwt. The quantity remaining in first hands is reduced to 12,000 bags ; there has been one small arrival since this day week. The stock is rather less than it was last year at this period. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 2,296 bags of Bengal Sugar were offered, the principal por tion consisted;of grey brown and inferior yellow, they went off with heaviness, and a part only sold at rather lower rates, brown at 40s to 435, low and middling yel low 50s to 53s 6d, good middling 57s 6d, good grey 57s 6d to 58s 6d, low and mid 52s to 565, but the better kinds fetched full rates, middling white 59s 6d to 60s, good mid and good 61s to 63s 6d, fine yellow Dobah 660 to 675, mid to good 61s to 645. Madras, 773 bags, duty paid, and 1,344 bags, in bond, were offered at auction, the former nearly all taken in, low brown 42s to 42s 6d, washed 41s to 41s 6d, damp low to middling 42s to 445, and good 47s to 51s ; the latter sold at lower rates, very common damaged dark brown at 13s 6d to 14s 6d, mid 17s to 19s, better quality 22s 6d to 30s, and good sound bright yellow 30s per cwt.

COFFEE.—The lower descriptions of West India Cof fee are abundant, and further reduced rates have been accepted, still the trade purchased with caution ; for the better kinds there are few orders, and prices are still goi%g down. To-day there was little inclination to purchase Ceylon Coffee, and 50s 6d to 51s per cwt is the value of good ordinary. Mocha was in dull demand, and 167 bales 10 cases at auction were only partly sold at low rates—bold rather dull greenish Mysore went at 38s to 403 6d. yel lowish mixed 395, low broken 18s to 225, and sea damaged 31s to 58s, middling small sound greenish mixed with Mocha was taken in at 655, and good mid greenish Mocha at 75s per cwt.

Of fine sorts the supply at market is small, and they are held for stiff rates. To-day several parcels of Tea were disposed of, and at stiffer rates for the lower qualities. Common sound Congou cash is with diffietilty to be purchased at tOd per lb ; common yellow leaf Twankay is fetching Is lza to is 21 per lb.

Fifty-five prisoners were acquitted, nine discharged by proclamation, one acquitted on the ground of in sanity, five were remanded to next session, and three admitted to bail. 38 pleaded guilty. Imprisonment for one month, 8 ; for three weeks, 2 ; fur fourteen days and under, 7 ; committed by the court, 1. The judgment of the court was respited upon several, and some were admitted to bail. Yesterday several pickpockets, who were found carrying on their occupation in the crowd on Mon day, were punished summarily by commitment to Bridewell. John Osborne was charged on suspicion of having stolen five gold pins. Joseph Thompson, policeman 62 I', stated that he was in Fleet street about one o'clock, dressed in plain clothes, and saw the prisoner steal a silk handker chief. The gentleman from whom it was stolen declined to prosecute. On searching the prisoner another silk handkerchief was found on him, also two gold pins in his hat, and three inside his coat. Sir CHAPMAN MARSIIALL remanded the prisoner till Tuesday, to give the officer time to discover the owners. _ _ ....,.._. John Andrews, a respectable looking young man, was charged with stealing a gold pin from a gentle man unknown. Robert Hodgman, of Berkeley- street, Lambeth, deposed to seeing the prisoner steal a pin from the cravat of a gentleman in Fleet-street, about half-past three in the afternoon. Charles Goff, policeman 83 L, stated that he was watching the pril-oner, and apprehended him, but lost the gentleman in the crowd. On searching the pri soner he found four gold pins, one broken, and a silver card-case. Sir Ch APMAN MARSHALL said he would in this, as in the last case, give the officer a week to find the owner. The prisoner was remanded till Tuesday. George Surfien, a young man, lodging in Tredegar square, was charged with assaulting a boy about 15 years old, named Joseph Jackson. Jackson stated that he resides in Leman-street, and that while he was standing in the crowd near the Exchange, the prisoner, without any provocation, struck him over the cap with an ash stick, and cut his head open. Defendant said Jackson was one of a gang of twenty impudent young rascals, who were amusing themselves with what is called bonneting, or knock ing the hat over the eyes of all the respectable persons who came within reach, and upon whom the operation could be practised without detection. He saw them annoy several ladies and gentlemen, and being at last served so himself, he turned round and punished the joker. He called a gentleman, named Westcott, who deposed that the prisoner knocked his hat over his eyes, but there were such a set of young ruffians with him, that witness did not venture to resent the insult. Sir C. MARSHALL said he could not take the provo cation as justifying the assault. The boy might have been given into custody if he had done wrong. He could not discharge him, unless he satisfied the boy for the injury he had done him. The defendant agreed to do so, and was discharged. Mark Brown, a surgeon, was charged with assault ing Sergeant Cale, of the City P o li ce . The sergeant stated that the defendant annoyed him byp to calling ke u up t names, when the carriages drew u the visitors, isitors,and upon requiring him to ta o stand further back, defendant struck and kicked him. Mr. Brown complained that the officer exhibited want of temper, and exceeded his duty. Sir C. MARSHALL said he would not decide on the question of assault until the Commissioner had inves tigated the charge against the officer, and he dis charged the prisoner for the present. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Eliza Goswell, a woman of loose and desperate character, was charged with having wilfully broken the windows of Thomas Westlake, general dealer, Vernon-street, Bond-street. Some time ago the parish authorities of St. James's took steps to suppress the brothels in Sheppard-street. The complainant was employed to give evidence in order to ensure convictions, and since that period he has been constantly annoyed and threatened by those whose infamous traffic was put an end to through .his instrumentality. The defendant, who has for years been known as one of the lowest class of unfortunates, on several occasions wilfully broke the complainant's windows, and not having money to pay the damage and the fine, has been sent to prison to pay in person. On Monday evening she paid the complainant a fourth visit, and smashed windows to the amount of 7s. 6d. The complainant no sooner entered the witness box to give his evidence than the defendant levelled a volley of execrations and threats at him, and continued her disgusting conduct to the end of the proceedings, in spite of the efforts of the officers to restrain her. Mr. MALTBY asked her what she had to say in answer to the charge ? Defendant—Say, why that I shan't leave this world happy until I've put my mark on that (pointing to the complainant). I'll smash every window in his house, and I'll scratch him too, the first chance I get. I wonder the Jews of Sheppard-street don't go in a body and knock his brains out. You may send me to prison, but as soon as I come out I'll be at the again. The complainant having declared that he went in bodily fear from the defendant's threats, Mr. MALTBY decided on requiring the defendant to find bail to keep the peace for three months. The woman paused for a moment as if meditating mischief. She said, however (looking at the magis trate). " No, 1 wont blackguard you, but (fighting her way through the constables to the complainant) I'll have the heart of that ---." Before she could execute vengeance on the complainant, she was seized and her arms forcibly pinioned. She was then locked up. About an hour or two after this, Thomas Westlake himself was brought into Court, and charged with having grievously wounded Ellen Barry. The complainant is another of those wretched creatures who haunt the streets ; and she too has long been known to the police as one of the most drunken and desperate women about town. When called upon to give evidence she was too drunk to say more than that she had got her death wound at last. She pointed to her head and clothes which were covered with blood. The defendant said the woman had just been to his house and smashed three of his windows. He went out with a stick to protect his property, when he was attacked, and he then knocked her down by a blow on the head. Several witnesses were present who saw the trans action. They said the defendant had what a p peare d to be a life pres erver i n his hand, with which he struck the woman many heavy blows on the head which ren dered her insensible. Mr. MALTBY directed the woman to be taken to the hospital to have her wounds examined, and, remanded the defendant until next day in order to have the surgeon's certificate. Louis Woodcock, a gentleman of property, who is known at this Court from his disputes with various hotel-keepers, with whom he has at times taken up his abode, was charged with having broken two lamp shades, and also assaulted Mrs. Cocquerell, landlady of the European Hotel, Leicester-place. It appeared that the defendant went to the Euro pean Hotel to obtain some linen he had left there, but the linen was refused to him until he had paid the balance of his bill. This excited the defendant, and with his stick he broke the glasses in question, and then afterwards struck the landlady a blow on the mouth, and two blows on the body. The defendant said he was attacked by the waiter, who had a carving-knife in his hand, and he was obliged to defend himself with his stick. It was while using his stick that the glasses became broken. He denied having assaulted Mrs. Cocquerell. Mr. MALTBY asked the complainant if she had noticed the state of the defendant's mind when he lived at her hotel ? The complainant and waiter both said they believed the defendant's intellect was affected. The defendant denied that he was of unsound mind. Mr. MALTBY was informed that the defendant had been confined in a lunatic asylum in France. The defendant was fined at., or one month's impri sonment. QUEEN-SQUARE. A young man of colour, whose attenuated figure and threadbare garments indicated the extremes of disease and poverty, applied to the magistrates for relief. Applicant, who had evidently received a liberal education, was, he said, a native of Demerara, and came to this country at a very early period. On the death of his father, who was connected with the West India trade, applicant, who was educated for the me dical profession, was obliged to relinquish it on account of pecuniary difficulties, and the prejudices he had to contend against as a person of colour. In consequence of long-continued ill health, which had now assumed an asthmatic form, he had been reduced to very great distress, and, with a wife and child to support, was compelled, by dire necessity, to make the present ap plication. Mr. BOND inquired how long his father had been dead ? Applicant replied ten or eleven years. Mr. Bor) asked his means of support since that period ? Applicant replied that he had carried on business as a chemist at Liverpool for about eighteen months, but was unsuccessful. He had visited other parts of the country, and had exerted himself to the utmost to obtain a living, but had been most unfortu nate, and his slender resources having become ex hausted, he had supported himself by the sale of a few engravings, until having parted with all he pos sessed, he was left in the most lamentable state of destitution. Mr. BOND asked whether he had any relations in England ? Applicant replied that he had not. Mr. BOND inquired whether there was any person to whom he could refer him, who could confirm his account ? Mr. Taylor, the second clerk, observed, that he could speak to the truth of a portion of his account. He had been made acquainted with the circumstances connected with a part of his painful history by a friend who had gone to school with the applicant, and had at times afforded him some temporary relief. Applicant said he had been engaged for a short time by Dr. Sutro, of Beaufort-buildings. He had been transcribing a German work from that gentle man's dictation. Mr. BOND observed that the assistance that could be afforded him from the poor-box would be but tri fling, and inquired how he intended to employ himself for the future? Applicant replied that he hardly knew. He was competent to any work in an office, but in his present deplorable state it was not likely that he should succeed in obtaining any employment. Had he the means of procuring a stock of engrav ings, he might manage to procure a subsistence as he had done before. Mr. BOND commiserated the unfortunate man's condition, and gave him a trifle to relieve his present necessities, at the same time desiring him to repeat his visit in a day or two. In the course of the afternoon inquiries were made at his humble abode in Westminster, where it was as certained that he had resided for a long period of time, was a very honest, sober, well-conducted person, but was afflicted, and in such distress that he and his family had not had food for many hours previous to his application at this Court. LAMBETH-STREET. SEIZURE OF SMUGGLED TOBACCO, &C...--111F. ..T. B. Thomas, a tobacco and snuff manufacturer, of No. 115, Ratcliff Highway, appeared before Mr. Henry, to answer to two informations charging him with having on his premises 173,-;lbs. of smuggled tobacco, which had been found by the Customs' officers on the sth and ,7th instant. C. A. Davis and other officers of Customs deposed to having found the tobacco seized upon the two days beforementioned. They also deposed to having found seven empty canvass wrappers, such as are used for smuggling, and contained, when full, 501bs. of tobacco. The defendant said he knew nothing whatever about the bags produced, which he said had been found in the lumber room. The officers and the gentlemen who attended from the office of the Solicitor of Customs particularly directed Mr. Henry's attention to the appearance of the canvass wrappers, and observed that by their newness and the glossy appearance which they bore it was perfectly evident they had been recently used and emptied, an opinion in which his Worship per fectly coincided. Mr. Thomas, in defence, said that, in the first place, the house in which he resided and carried on business had been upwards of half a century in his family, and that such was the competition in his business at present, and the means resorted to by smuggling and adulteration, that goods were sold at much less than they could be fairly manufactured for, and he should throw himself entirely upon the consi deration of the Court. Mr. HENRY—Then what you mean to say is, that you cannot carry on and live by your business with out smuggling. Mr. Thomas—Why, Sir, I did not say that ex actly ; but I have said that there is so much smug gling and adulteration in the trade that there is no getting a living in a regular way. The competition is, I assure you, Sir, so great, that goods are sold at much less than they can be manufactured for. Mr. HENRY—Your defence is, I must say, a most extraordinary one. A thief charged before me at that bar might as well say that robberies were carried on to a very considerable extent, and that he could not live without robbing also. The charge of the tobacco found being smuggled is not at all disproved ; and I have very little doubt, also, that these canvass bags found upon your premises contained albs. each of tobacco, so that you have had the benefit of and profit on 1701bs. of tobacco. I, therefore, see no reason why you should not be convicted in the full penalty. The defendant was then convicted in the penalty on both informations of 1681. 18s. 6d., or to be impri soned until such sum was paid. The defendant asked for time to pay the penalty, upon which Mr. HENRY observed that he was frequently called on and obliged to send sailors and other per sons to prison in default of such penalties, and he could make no distinction in the present case. The defendant was then taken in charge by Cook, the gaoler, to be detained until the money, which he had sent for, arrived. The law requires that proceedings for the five cwt. of adulterated stuff should be taken before the Com- missioners of Excise, which will be immediately done, and the defendant upon this will be liable to a penalty of 6001., if fully proved against him.: UNION-HALL. Yesterday Mr. John Quincy Harris, late M.P. for Newcastle. under-Lyme, was charged with using lan guage of a threatening nature towards Mr. Philip Roberts, of Upper Montague-street, Russell-square, with intent to provoke him to commit a breach of the peace. The complainant stated that he was married to the sister of the defendant, who on frequent occasions of late had used lfiguage of a threatening nature to him. The defendant called at his house at a most unseasonable hour, between one and two o'clock in the morning, and ultimately challenged him out to fight. Complai nan t o f course re f use d to accep t suc h a challenge, a n d as th e present was not a so li tary in stance of the d e f en d an t so con d uc ti ng hi mse lf, h e (complaina n t) considered it necessary to adopt the present proceedings, with a view to prevent it in future. The complainant produced some letters which he had received from the defendant, to prove that he had been menaced by the writer. Mr. TRAM. having perused them, and the de fendant having admitted he was the writer, the Magis trate asked the complainant if he was apprehensive that the threats contained in them would be carried into effect ? The defendant objected to the production of such evidence. The letters related to matters of a family nature, and he contended that they ought not to have been exhibited in Court. Mr. TRAILL said that the complainant was perfectly justified in producing the documents containing threats against his personal safety, and written by the defendant. The defendant—But they are of a private and con fidential nature. Mr. TRAILL—But you had no right to send letters of a private and confidential nature containing threats against the individual to whom you have addressed them. Defendant—Mr. Roberts is a professional man. I am not, and therefore should wish to have the case postponed, in order that I may have an opportunity of consulting my solicitor on the subject. Mr. TRAILL here read a passage in one of the let ters, in which the writer said, in allusion to the com plainant, that when he met him he would make him bitterly repent his ungrateful conduct. The magis trate said this was all confirmatory of Mr. Roberts's complaint against the defendant, and showed that he was perfectly justified in the steps that gentleman had adopted against the writer. The complainant, in answer to Mr. TRAILL, having stated that he was apprehensive of personal violence at the hands of the defendant, the latter was asked what he wished to say in answer to the charge ? • The defendant declared he had no intention of com mitting any violence, and he again expressed a wish that the case might be allowed to stand over until he was prepared with professional advice. The process taken against him was done so instantaneously, he having no intimation of it until the officer called at his house that morning, that he had no time to consult with his legal adviser. Mr. TRAILL said he could see no reason whatever for an adjournment, and that he should therefore call on the defendant to find sureties for keeping the peace. - Defendant—lf I give my word of honour that I will not touch the complainant, and have no commu nication with him except through my attorney, will that be sufficient ? Complainant intimated that he should not be satis fied with such an assurance unless security was given that he should not, in future, be subjected to such treatment as he had already experienced at the hands of the defendant. Mr. TRAJLL asked the complainant if he would be satisfied if the defendant was adjudged to enter into his own recognizances to a considerable amount? The complainant answered in the affirmative, upon which the defendant exclaimed, " Oh, make it 500/. ; lam willing to be bound in that amount to convince him that from henceforth all communication between us ceases." Mr. TRATLL said as the defendant was satisfied with the former amount, he should therefore call on the defendant to enter into his own recognizances to that amount. The complainant expressed a hope that it would have the effect of keeping the defendant away from his house, and also of preventing h'm from sending any more letters of a threatening nature. Mr. TRAILL said that if the defendant forfeited his recognizance it would be estreated at the sessions, and he would be compelled to pay the amount. The defendant having entered into the required re cognizances, the parties then retired. CLERKEIV WELL. Patrick Gamon was charged with cutting and wounding police-constalbe Higgins, 130 of the N division ; also with violently assaulting police-con stable Gooderam, 433 N. • Higgins, whose life was at one time despaired of, was present. His voice was so faint, that there was great difficulty in gleaning his testimony. He deposed, that on the night of the 12th inst. he heard the noise of fighting in High-street, Islington, between 11 and 12 o'clock. He went up to them and told them to go away. They used very bad lan guage, but at length dispersed. About an hour after the same party, amongst whom was the prisoner, as sembled in High-street. He again told them to go away. They went down Pansley's.court swearing and using the most violent language. When a few yards down the court, one of them said "If you come down here, we'll soon do for you." He did not follow them immediately ; but, in a short time after, hearing cries in the court, he went down, and had not advanced more than a few yards when a brick was thrown at him. _He saw the man who flung it and arrested him. He was turning round to take him to the station-house, when several of them attacked him. His hat was knocked off, and the prisoner, with a brick firmly clenched in his hand, struck him twice with all his force on the head and knocked him down. One of the party seized his hand, and the prisoner jobbed the sharp edge of the brick into his head twice, and he became insensible ; when he recovered consciousness, he found his collar-bone broken and four deep wounds on his head. He positively identi fied the prisoner as the person who jobbed the brick into his head. Police-constables Gooderam and March confirmed Higgins's testimony. Mr. R. Sample, surgeon to the Islington police force, has examined Higgins, and found four deep wounds on his head, and his clevicle was fractured. Iliggins's life had been in great danger. Had known persons to die from much less severe wounds. The prisoner denied his guilt, and was fully com mitted to the Old Bailey for trial. DEATH IN GREAT DESTITUTION Yesterday, Mr. Wakley, M.P., resumed and con cluded the inquiry, at the Clarendon Wine Stores, 162, Oxford-street, touching the death of William Hall, aged 43, formerly a metropolitan policeman, but latterly a general postman at Sevenoaks, who died on Wednesday last at No. 6, Stratford-place, an un tenanted mansion, of which he had the care. The Hon. Colonel Stratford, the proprietor of Stratford-place, Mr. Porter, one of the guardians of the poor, and several other guardians, were present. A surgeon of the University College, and Mr. Clarke, surgeon of Marylebone-lane, had opened the body, and the following is their joint evidence :—The body of deceased was much emaciated, and showed no marks of violence. There was a large tumour, about the size of an orange, in the belly, communicat ing with the abdomenal aorta. The tumour had rup• tured, and hemorrhage from it into the abdomen was the cause of death. Above a pint of blood had es caped. The aneurism had existed a couple of years. In the course of the examination of the widow of deceased, she said—All I have had from the parish was half-a-crown a month since, Mr. Faulkner, the relieving officer, gave me an order for medicine on Tuesday, not for food. I received an order for the doctor to see my husband the day he died. I did not take the order to the workhouse ; my husband did not wish I should, as he said he would have better advice. _ _ A Juror—flow came it that after you received the first relief a month ago, you did not apply again ? Witness—Because I thought we should be passed to our parish if I did. The CORONER—Who told you that ? Witness—l cannot say—some one at the workhouse. I should not know him again. The CORONER—You would have called again at the workhouse if something had not been said to you ? Witness—l should, sir. The fear of being sent home prevented me. The CORONER—Have you had any relief since the sitting of the inquest—have any of the officers called on you since ? Witness, No, Sir. The CORONER—Where is your parish ? Witness— I was born at Sevenoaks, but I must follow my hus band's settlement, the parish of Sawtry, Huntingdon shire, where I know nobody, not even his mother, who, I believe, is living there. The CORONER—This is what is continually taking place. Men go away from their place of settlement, get married, die, and their wives, natives of other places, are required to go back to their husband's parishes, where they do not know a human being. If they were sent to their own parishes they would have a chance of receiving consolation and relief from their relatives and early friends. To the witness—After you got back from Mr. Faulkner with nothing but an order for medical relief, what did you do for rood? Witness—l tried to pawn an old shirt, but the pawn broker would not take it in. I then got a loaf from Mr. Malcombe, baker, of Southmolton-street, who has trusted me with a loaf a day for a month past, though I never dealt with him, paying ready money but once. The CORONER—The baker's name ought to be publicly mentioned. I am afraid (to the jury) you cannot claim him as a parishioner. Have the parish buried the body of deceased ? Ridding, the beadle— The parish would have done so, but the family were going to bury deceased themselves. His sister had bought a coffin, and a subscription would defray the other expenses. The CORONER—PeopIe who have such feelings as these ought to receive the most attention and respect from the parish officers. The feeling of self-respect ought to be encouraged in the poor by every possible means. Nothing sustains them so much. After a long inquiry the jury returned a verdict of " Natural death from aneurismal disease." In consequence of the publicity given to this case, the following subscriptions have been sent to the Coroner for the benefit of the widow and four orphans : —Mr. Hudson, Chichester, ss. ; Rev. J. Bassnatt, ss. ; Mr. Felix, Brighton, ss. ; Mr. Jones, Duke street, Oxford-street, ss. ; Mr. G. I. Mills, ss. ; Hon. Colonel Stratford, 11.; Mr. Pennington, Portman square, 1/. ; Mr. Wakley subscribed 21., and all the jury and Mr. Clarke, surgeon, subscribed. One of the jury, Mr. Butcher, butcher, of 10, Orchard-street, Portman-square, subscribed 1/., and was appointed treasurer to receive further subscriptions, and to manage them. Air. Hyde, landlord of the Clarendon Stores, subscribed ss. Tin NATIONAL GALLERY.--This exhibition was yesterday re-opened to the public, having been closed during the last few weeks for the purpose of examining the various works of art contained therein, and making the necessary repairs, &c. During the recess, all the pictures have been either cleaned or varnished. The late purchases, the Guido and Rubens, from the Pen rice collection, now appear in all their splendour. The Francias are now seen in perfection, and no picture has undergone a more thorough change than the "Brazen serpent," by Rubens, which had probably never before been cleaned from its smoke and varnish since its arrival in England. It is now, in a manner, resuscitated, and presents a noble specimen of the mater. The Hogarths have been varnished, and are in the most perfect state ; the cracks in the Wilkies have been carefully mended, and the pictures brought out in all their beautiful effect. The rooms have been thoroughly cleaned and repaired, and the blinds and ventilators put in order. It is to be feared, however, that the return of summer dust and the breath of crowds will again obscure the brightness of these fine paintings, and probably ere long this result may convince the public that a larger place is necessary for the accommodation of both pictures and spectators than is afforded in the present building. The cleansing of the pictures has been entrusted to Mr. Seguier and Mr. Brown. The rooms were yesterday very much crowded, and the improved character of the exhibition appeared to give the greatest satisfaction to the visitors. A WATERSPOUT. The French papers contain the following account of the ravages committed by a w ater s pout, the details of which are contained in a letter from Cette, of the 22d instant :—A frightful misfortune has, this after noon, plunged our whole population into a state of consternation and despair. About four o'clock an electric waterspout fell upon our town, and commit ted such ravages, that at the present moment it might be supposed that the town had been submitted to all the horrors of a siege. This terrible phenomenon , which arrived in the direction of the Fortress of St. Pierre, skirted the mole in its whole length, and when it came opposite the engineers' establishment, attracted probably by the conductor and the zinc roof of the house, it turned round the edifice, and at last fell with violence upon it. At the same moment a violent explo sion was heard, and the whole population thought that its last hour was come. During two minutes' space of time a terrific crash resounded in the air. The roofs of the houses were smashed to pieces and the fragments were carried to the mostdistant part of the town. The building belonging to the engineers has been entirely sacked, its zinc roof was carried off in the twinkling of an eye, and the whole façade demolished and razed to the ground, so that nothing now remains of it but the back and side walls. Another house, four stories high, new and solidly built, belonging to M. Labaille, was literally crushed to the earth. In every apart ment the separation walls were destroyed, the win' dows torn out ; everywhere destructive traces have been left. Never in the memory of man has s° frightful a catastrophe been witnessed in our town. Alas ! however, we have still further misfortunes to narrate. A fearful inundation joined at the same time its ravages to those of the electric waterspout . In an instant the waters of the canal rose and flooded the quays. It was a pitiable spectacle to see all the lighters loaded with wines torn into the current, driven one against the other, and then swallowed up by the element. At least a dozen boats were sunk in the canal itself, and what was the most terrible is, that most of them had their crews on board. Some few were able to save themselves, the others have perished. It is supposed that nearly thirty have been carried down with their boats. Five or s!% large vessels have been completely wrecked, and remain with their keels uppermost. As to the lesser injuries clone among the masts, rigging, &c., they are innume rable. In the streets and on the quays are every' where to be seen woundedwretches,some with fractured heads, others with mutilated limbs. A body has just been dug out of the ruins of the house belonging to the engineers. In front of the Cafe de la Bourse, merchant of this town, M. Francois Lavatre, crushed beneath the ruins of a huge structure be longing to a party of strolling players, stationed at the extremity of the old bridge. Persons are missing in their families, and it is to be feared that they have perished in this awful storm. It is impossible to giv e any description of the feelings of terror produced '° the minds of the whole population. Persons are to be met with in every street running to and fro de mending news of different members of their families, and it is with fear and trembling that each asks the other, "Is there no one destroyed in your house? We are unable, from the lateness of the hour, to giv e any further details, but those already given are exaeti although a feeble picture of the horrors that surroun d us. At this moment a violent south- east wind 16 blowing. Grant, Heaven, that we have not to gi ve more wretched details to-morrow. 11.45. 11. 15s. Cper cent. 6 per cent.

' Mr. Charles Hubbard, pawnbroker, Rochester, ( l e ; posed the prisoner brought a watch to his shop nu t ' 17th inst., and pledged it for 255. George Tindall, watchmaker and jeweller, 110, Hig li ; street, Woolwich, purchased a watch of the prisoner tie his shop, either on the 17th or 18th inst., for which 11 gave him 3/. 3s.

It instantly loco 0 i desperately excited, and wheeled off the road to g e a t il d its opponent, but was courageously kept back struck by the owner. This only exasperated furious brute the more, which turned suddenly r, °. 01 and with a desperate spring knocked the mal l l,lo seizing him at the same time by the groin, and w"10 huge tusks, which were firmly locked, dragg'e.u t , rapidly along the ground. He did not relingele" hs ocl hold of the rope, however, and was seized by the " the and wrist. Being in the most imminent dangerf o t spectators shouted to him to allow the beast to get ° ,. r ifie This he did, when breaking into the stye, a t er cet combat took place, both animals lacerating each ° co ir with great fury. In the meantime poor Mills Wt di, veyed into a neighbouring house, and Mr. Couhr ° o b' surgeon, being fortunately passing at the time, 13 ,,, e ea; tamed the speedy assistance of two other medial P - 0 11 when it was found that although a wound of e c e c ieof eight inches wide had been inflicted among the to ll i the no large artery was cut. The whole upper part 0 „ th e thigh was shockingly mangled, and the injuries o ' c or arm were of a dangerous nature. The sufferer was pre' veyed home in the afternoon, and lies in a veff ;0 14 carious state. After great exertion, and no little our the two boars were separated, and the one which tfire menced the attack, which is of great size, and 8 10 ' years old, was shot. . . . . ~.
