SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. STANDARD.—Lord Brougham presented last night a petition in the House of Lords from the Earl of Dun donald, better known by his gallant exploits as " Lord Cochrane," claiming for the Noble Earl the priority of invention of Captain Warner's destructive agent ; or, at least, claiming to have invented, more than thirty years ago, some other agent of destruction as ter ribly efficacious. Lord Dundonald's gallantry, skill, and enterprise, as a naval commander, are too fre quently recorded in our naval annals to require any other testimony. The nation owes to him a deep debt of gratitude for most important services, and we hope we may now without offence acid that the nation owes to his Lordship a heavy debt upon another score—reparation for grievous wrongs. Thirty years the gallant nobleman was made the victim of as flagitiously iniquitous a verdict and judgment, as ever disgraced the administration of justice in any coun try. It is difficult to read the trial of his Lordship, and we have been reading it lately, in order to refresh our knowledge of the law of conspiracy, without coming to the conclu sion that judge and jury were all mad or drunk together. It may not be out of place to refer to this scandalous trial, because younger men may be at a loss to understand Lord Brougham's allu sion to the banishment of the Gallant Earl from the service of his own enuntry. The story in few words is this :—A numb's: of persons, one of whom was Lord Dondonald'e relation, and another his stock-broker, contrived a fraud to raise the price of the public funds, by false news (an anticipation of the restoration of the Sourbons). The case against these persons was proved clearly enough by an exposure of all their pro ceedings, in which it was manifest that Lord Dun donald took not the slightest part. It was proved, however, that he lent a hat to the principal agent, with whom he had a casual acquaint ance ; the hat was a plain round hat, such as gen tlemen commonly wore at the time, and still wear, and the reasonable pretext for borrowing it was that the borrower had on a showy military head-dress, which caused him to be stared at in the street, notwithstanding that his gaudy foreign uniform was otherwise shaded by a cloak. Upon the strength of this unlucky loan of a hat was Lord Dundonald dragged into the conspiracy, deprived of his commission, and driven, from that noble service, even upon which his achievements had reflected new glories. But Lord Ellenborough was a c ammercial man—the jurors were commercial men—and the times were those in which about threescore men, women, and children, used to be annually strangled at the Old Bailey, for, as it was supposed, the be nefit of commercial credit. What chance, before such a judge and such a jury, and in such times, for any one exposed to the suspicion of being suspected of tampering with the price of the funds ? So much for Lord Due donald. Now as to his invention. Lord Brougham said in his Noble Friend's praise, that though ill-treated, as he certainly was, by his own Government and his own countrymen, Lord Dundonald reserved his secret from those foreign Governments by which he was employed, and patriotically resolved that England alone should have the benefit of its possession. We confess that we de not understand his Lordship's motive in this conduct. If the secret is one which can be used without exposing it to discovery, we do not see why he should hesitate to give to those Govermeuts that had a just right to claim all his services, the full benefit of it. It seems to us that when a man engages in the service of a foreign State, he becomes, ipso facto, the subject of that State—a vendre ou a pendre, as the old phrase has it—and that he has no right to reserve any results either of his physical or intellectual power, always supposing that these are not to be directed against the country to which he naturally owes allegiance. We must repeat it, therefore, that if Lord Dundonald's secret is not one liable to expo sure in the use of it, his Lordship ought to have given to the foreign Gov-rn'nents that he served all the advantage of it. If, howese r, the secret is one which would be explained in its application, it is plainly of little value, except for the first blow. It might render war more destructive for all parties in the long run ; but the nation first using it coul I have the advantage but once, as all other nations would forthwith adopt it. Nay, it might, and if Captain Warner truly describes his " long range," it would deprive sone nations of ad vantages they already possess. Whet, for example, would be the fate of our naval superiority were the " leng range" universally adopted? What could Nelson himself do in conflict (if we may call it s o) with, an enemy six miles off ? We comfort ourJelve with the reflectem that all these things are " moon shine." for the effact of them certainly would be to de prive Engin 1 of most of the advantages she owes to the physical and moral superiority of her people. Bayard called the use of gunpowder " the grave of valour''— and of the valour whieh stimulates individual acts of daring for the sake of indici lual glory it was the tomb. Another and a more reflecting kind of courage has, how ever, succeeded. adapted to the changed st) le of war, and now the victory is not to the impetuous and au dacious, but to the patient and enduring, to the cool, collected, and determined. It is, however, impossible to imagine what modification of fortitude could be success fully opposed to the invisible shell or the long range ; the adoption of such instruments would he not merely the grave of all kinds of valour, it would be the grave of honour, honesty, and humanity; all war would re solve itself into surprise, and ambuscade, and wholesale massacre; fortunately, we say again, the thing is mere moonshine. Lild,ll's_ Dog Stealing Commit- tee has producer a sensible report. Perhaps the authority of a report of a Select Committee was hardly wanted to recommend Mr. Lid‘l , ll's proposals for the protection of poodles. But we quite agree with him that poodles ought to be better protected, and think the sug gestions of the Committee very commendable ; and we by no means quarrel with the appointment of a Commit tee on the subject. The evidence collected by the Com mittee on the tricks of dog-qr_salers, and the statistics of the dog-trade, is an interesting con tribution to a " Library of Entertaining Knowledge." The taking of a reward for re-toring a stolen dog is at present not penal. Rewards are eagerly given for the recovery of pet dogs, and dogs are stolen with a view to the reward. The premises of dealers in dogs are not at present accessible to the police except aft .r a search-warrant has been obtained; to obtain which some reason must be shown for 'believing that the missing dog is in the particular premises to he searched, and which can never be obtained without delay. This is a great help to the dog-stealer, and furnishes a great additional inducement to the parties robbed to offer high rewards. The Committee apply themselves, then, to the preven tion of rewards, and the increase of control over the dealers in dogs. They recommend that an Act should 131 passed declaring dogs to be property, and mak ing the theft of a dog a misdemeanour; from which it would follow, under the words of the 58th clause of 7 and 8 Geo. IV., that the taking of a reward for restoring a stolen dog would be felony—that dealers in dogs should be required to take out licenses, and that their premises should be open to inspection of police-officers—and that parties in possession of stolen or lost dogs should be made re qnnsible for such possession, and be obliged to bring forward the names and places of abode of those parties from whom the said dog had been obtained, and that these latter parties shall, in like manner, be held responsible. "It appears to your Committee that such an obligation, com bined with the licensing of the premises of the dealers in dogs, and the power of inspection given to certain officers of police, would go far to check, if it would not entirely put a stop to this pernicious and illegal traffic ; and the same regulations might be applied to parties bringing lots of dogs to the quays and wharfs of the different ports fur exportation to the foreign market." DETENTION OF DR. WOLFF.—Advices from Con stantinople, July 17, say that " a letter had been received from Dr. Wolff, announcing his detention by the Ameer of Bokhara, under the following circumstances :—The Bokharee Envoy, who, it was said, was to have accompanied Dr. Wolff to England, has been arrested on his road from Persia, at Meshed, by the Ameer of that place, as a hostage for the Doctor's safe delivery from the hands of the Ameer of Bok hare; and the latter, on hearing of this act, had declared that the Englishman should not depart until the Bokharee Envoy had been set at liberty. Such, it is said, arc the main state ments in Dr. Wolff's letters, dated Bokhara, May 12 ; further, that it is probable, since the Ameer of Bokhara did not ap• pear to be personally hostile to Dr. Wolff, and the Ameer of Meshed was known to be actuated by friendly motives to wards him, we may soon hope to hear of his safe departure from Bokhara." IlinurtsiAN MINING COMPANY.—Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this Company took place at the office in Austin- friars, J. H. Britishaw, Esq., in the chair. From the report it appeared that several new works had been undertaken, and the seam of coal continued good. The sales, in spite of the competition, had exceeded those of the pre vious six months by about 2,700 tons, the sales for the half year being 9,037 tons, which produced the sum of 2,635/., and a more extensive sale was only wanting to yield a divi dend. The trial for the vein of copper at Alfacore had been discontinued, after an outlay of 1501. After the reading and adoption of the report, a vote of thanks was passed to the Di rectors of the Company. DOCKYARD.—On the 30th ult. the Earl of Dundonald paid an official visit to this dockyard, when the steam-vessel Janus, of 4 guns, which was built in this yard on a peculiar construction, designed by the gallant ofhcer, was put out of dock for the purpose of testing her boilers in his presence. The Janus was taken into dock again on Thursday, the Ist inst. The Trafalgar, 120 guns, fitting as an advance ship, is nearly completed ; and the new stern, which has been put on the plan of Mr. Fincham, master builder, is now finished and painted, and has a very noble appearance.' This vessel is reckoned to be the finest ship in the service. She goes out of dock on Saturday. Captain llrandreth, of the Enginee rs , and director of works at this yard, arrived on Vednesday, th e 31st ult., and inspected the erection of the new buildi ngs now being raised in the dif ferent parts of the yard, and left here on the Ist inst. for the purpose of inspecting the works at Sheerness Dockyard. SIIETLAND.—On Friday, the 19th ult., Mr. Ed ward Standen, of Oxford, and of the Shetland warehouse, Jermyn-street, London, and Mr. Robert Turnbull, son o f th e respected minister of Tingwall parish, Shetland, left Scallo way for Raewick, a distance of ten miles, in a sailing boat belonging to the latter. They were accompanied by two Shetland boatmen. When within two or three miles of their destination, the boat, from press of canvass, and perhaps front some mismanagement, tilled with water, and having a quantity of ballast on board she quickly sunk. Mr. Turnbull and the two men, unable to swim, remained by the boat, and all three went down with her. Mr. Standen was left alone upon the water, swimming with difficulty, having on an extra coat and heavy boots. His situation appeared a hopeless one, but providentially a Spanish vessel, the Flora, of B ilboa, Capt.Ybinaga, was within sight and to the windward. The captain saw the ac cident, bore down to the spot, and by promptitude and good management reached Mr. Standen in about a quarter of an hour, only just in time to save him being exhausted. Every kindness and attention was shown on board to recover him, and he was landed at Scalloway. This accident shows how necessary it is that along our coasts and islands a more ge neral attention should be paid to the noble art of swimming. Scarcely a Shetlander can swim, and yet his whole life is spent on the water! SUMMER ASSIZES. HOME ClRCUlT.—Guildford, Aug. 3. CROWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron GURNEY.) George Hart, 17; and David Chilton, 17, were in dicted, under the statute, for unlawfully setting fire to certain growing heath and furze, the property of Robert Munro. Mr. Locke appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Charnock defended the prisoner. Mr. LOCKE, in addressing the jury, explained that the present indictment was framed under a statute which made it felony for any person to wilfully set fire to any growing crop .of corn, heath, or furze, and subjected them to be transported for seven years, or for such term of imprisonment as the Court might direct. The Learned Counsel then went on to say that the prosecutor was a gentleman residing at Godalming, and he possessed a good deal of property in that neighbourhood. On the day mentioned in the indictment the prisoners were observed by a woman to go up to the furze, and with a lucifer match set fire to it in several places. They ran off, but were pursued, and taken into custody, and on their being searched, a pistol and a quantity of gunpowder were found in the possession of them, and upon the other no less than twenty-two boxes of lucifer matches. The above facts were clearly proved in evidence, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty. Mr. Baron GURNEY sentenced the prisoner to be transported for seven years. Jane Filor, aged thirty, was indicted for the mur der of her new-born male child. Mr. Charnock defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had been cook in the service of a gentleman at Guild ford. On the 28th May she appeered to be very ill, and at night one of the servants observed her to go down to the water-closet, and she followed her, and, according to her statement, shortly afterwards heard the cry of a child. An alarm was given, and the body of a child was taken out of the closet, and the surgeon who was called in to examine it, expressed his opinion, from certain circumstances, that the infant had been born alive. There was, however, no posi tive evidence as to this fact, except the testimony of the servant, who stated that she heard the child cry; but upon cross-examination she admitted that she might have been mistaken. The jury found the prisoner guilty of concealing the birth of the child, and she was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. John Smith, 17, was indicted for a misdemeanour. It appeared from the evidence of a police-constable named Timsley, that, about one o'clock in the day on the 26th July, he saw the prisoner bathing in the Surrey Canal, and he came out of the water quite naked, and just as a train was passing along the rail way he turned towards it, and behaved in a very indecent manner The jury found the defendant guilty, and Mr. Baron GURNEY sentenced him to be imprisoned for four months, at the same time remarking, that if the defendant had; been convicted summarily by the magistrate, he might have been sentenced to hard labour ; but in the present form of proceeding by in dictment, he had no power to affix hard labour to the sentence. _ _ His Lordship got through all the criminal business by twelve o'clock, and he then proceeded to dispose of some common jury causes, and he will sit again on Monday (this day) for that purpose. . . The business on the Civil side hitherto has not con tained any feature of public interest. NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Norwich, Aug. 1. CROWN COURT---(Before Mr. Justice Wit.taAns.) Henry Powing, aged 18, was indicted for maliciously set ting fire to four feet of "growing furze," with intent to in jure the Rev. W. Barker. Mr. EvAss conducted the case for the prosecution, and from his statement, corroborated by the evidence of witnesses, it appears that the rev. prosecutor, who is the rector of Ship dam, was walking through his farm, with his bailiff, on the 2fith of May last, and just as they turned into an occupation road, which was divided from the fields by a bank and line furze hedge, they espied some smoke rising from the left hand bank. Almost at the same moment they saw the prisoner quitting the place whence the smoke was rising, and came towards them at a smart pace. When the parties met, the bailiff seized the lad, and, turning him round, asked him if he saw that smoke? " Smoke !" said he, No, I see none." Notwithstanding this denial the boy was taken into custody by the bailiff; while Mr. Barker put out the fire with his " umperellar." As soon as a policeman could be foun the lad was searched, and 18 lucifer-matches discovered in the lining of his waistcoat. When this fact turned up. the prisoner began to cry, and said that he " had not done it for the nonce ;" but he afterwards said, when before the Magis - trate, that he had struck a light as he walked along the hedge, and thrown three lucifers into the furze, adding that he meant to have done the same all the way along home. The jury having found a verdict of Guilty, sentence was deferred. Mary Anne Fury was charged with setting fire to an out-house in the occupation of John Cook, on the 17th of July last. Sir. Palmer appeared for the prosecutor ; and Mr. Power defended the prisoner. The prosecutor is the uncle of the prisoner, a middle-aged woman, and they occupy cottages which are under one roof. Some short time ago a quarrel arose between the relatives as to the right to the use of a pigsty ard cow-shed, which was attached to their common residences, and matters grew to such a pitch that the lady began one day to pelt the aged man, for such he was, with stones, which she accompanied with a threat to "cut out his old eyes." Upon this he ap pealed to the law, and the lady was taken up, and sum marily dealt with before a justice fur the assault. Finding that she had got the worst of that job, the prisoner sulkily said she did not care for the pigsty, for she would very soon burn or pull it down, and then nobody should have it. This was on the 9th of the month, and, sure enough, on the morn ing of the 17th the out-house was discovered to be in flames. On inquiry, it was ascertained that the building in question, being all safe at five o'clock, when the prosecutor tended his cow and pigs, they were found to be on fire at six o'clock, within a very few minutes after the prisoner was seen to go there. This fact depended on the testimony of the prisoner's little grandson, an intelligent boy of ten years, who was subjected to a close cross-examination on behalf of the pri soner, the result of which was that he had not told his " grand'ther" what he saw till he was told the prisoner was suspected. Another witness, a policeman, proved that he went to take the prisoner on this charge, she immediately asserted that she had not been out of her house all that day, and was only just up. Mr. POWER having addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner in an animated speech, Mr. Justice WILLIA - sts left it to them to say whether they were satisfied beyond all doubt that the prisoner had set fire to the building in question. The jury having deliberated together for some little time, returned a verdict of Guilty. George Gaskin, aged 18, was indicted for maliciously set ting fire to a barn and other buildings, the property of his Grace the Duke of Norfolk; the second count laid the pro perty to be in Christian Betts, his tenant. Mr. Prendergast appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. J. H. Mills fur the prisoner. It appears that the family of the prosecutor consisted on the 3d of May last of Miss Betts, two maids, and two men, named Carman and Gaskin (the prisoner), the latter being his second team man. Attached to the farm is a large bul lock-shed, surrounded on all sides by a six feet fence, save whero access was permitted through a gate from the horse yard, which was itself accessible from the back doors of the dwelling -house. On the night in question Miss Betts, who had been out " a teeing" with a neighbour, returned home at eight o'clock, at which time all was safe, and the two men and women servants were at supper in the kitchen. About a quarter to nine the prisoner went out for the avowed object of dressing the shoulders of a sick horse in the yard, and while absent his fellow-servants combined to shut him out. The result of this was, that he came into the kitchen through the "pump back-house door." Just at this period of time the prosecutor, who was going to bed, discovered that there was a fire on his premises, and, rushing down stairs, heard some one pass by him round the corner of the house, which was in the direct course from the horse-yard to the " pump back-house yard." The person of this man was not recognised by the prosecutor, who, passing on, discovered that the bullock-shed was in flames. Under these circumstances suspicion fell on the prisoner, the rather that he had recently been reprimanded by his master for some misconduct touch ing the management of his horses, though, at the time nothing was thought of it. After the fire, however, it ap peared that the boy had taken the rebuke very much to heart, and had expressed an intention of running away. When the prisoner was taken upon this charge, he said lie had gone to the yard to dress one of his horses, but it was shown to-day that he had performed that operation long be fore in the same afternoon. 'When the premises were turned up the morning after the fire, a box of lucifer matches was found under the ruins of the shed, while it appeared that the prisoner was in possession of those dangerous inventions both before and after the fire. Mr. MILES, having addressed the jury for the prisoner, The jury, at the close of his Lordship's summing up, found a verdict of Not Guilty. MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Leicester, Aug. 2. (Before Lord Chief-Justice DENMAN.) Jana Cobley, aged 49, was charged with stealing, on the 13th of March last, from out of a letter, a Post-office order for 4/., and also with putting off a forged receipt for the same. Mr. Sergeant Clarke and Mr. Waddington were the coun sel engaged on the part of the Crown. The prisoner was without the assistance of counsel. The evidence adduced went to show that in the latter part of February, or tke beginning of March, the prisoner called at Belvoir Castle with letters for the Duke of Rutland, Lord Charles Manners, and the steward, a person named Fletcher. To the latter person he stated that a Mr. Ward was secretary to a Society for the Protection of British Industry. The letters were begging that money might i betransmitted to the Society in question, and were proved to be in the handwriting of the prisoner, though signed " Robert W ard." Fletcher proved that he sent by the Duke of Rutland's postmaster the sum of 41. to Grantham. for the purpose of a post-of f ice order being obtained and sent to Leicester in aid of the fends of the Society for the Protection of British Industry ; the letter in which it was contained being directed to Mr. R. Ward, se cretary to that Society. The prisoner called at the Leicester post-office, and inquired whether there was a letter for Mr. Robert Ward, of Hampden-street. He was answered there was not, but that there was one for Mr. Ward, secretary to the Society for the Protection of British Industry. The pri soner thereupon said that was the letter he meant; that be and Ward were well acquainted ; that, in fact, Ward had married his (Cobley's) sister. The letter containing the order was then given up. Robert Ward, who is a laceman, proved that he once lived in Hampden-street, but now lives in Belgrave-street ; that he never was secretary to the Society referred to ; or, indeed, had he ever heard of such an one being in existence. He further deposed to being a married man, but that he had not married a sister of Cobley's, nor was he, in fact, an acquaint ance or connexion of his. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—Stu ford, Aug 1.. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Sergeant ACHERLEY.) John Wardle, aged twenty-six, was indicted for wound ing. Edward Palmer Ryan, on the 15th August, 1842, at the parish of Stoke-upon-Trent, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. This was a remnant of the many cases tried in this county during the last two years, arising out of the lamentable riots which occurred in the Potteries, m the autumn of 1842. It appeared that the prisoner was one of the mob taking part in the riots, and the prosecutor, who is a constable, was, present, endeavouring to restore order, when Wardle approached him and cried out, " Here's a spy." He then struck him a violent blow on the back part of the head with what appeared to be a constable's staff, and the prosecutor fell. His head was cut, and he was ill fur several days, from the effects of the wound. The prisoner was not apprehended until April last, when he was found working at Mr. Wood's pottery, at Burslem, four miles from Stoke-upon Trent. The jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to be im prisoned eighteen months. There was another indictment against him for riot, but it was not proceeded with. William Dexter, thirty-nine, pleaded guilty to having mar ried Mary Caufield, at Stoke• upon-Trent, on the 18th July, 1843, his former wife Sarah, to whom he was married at Ruge ley, in 1823, being still alive. The prisoner had nine children by his wife, whom he left under the impression that he was going to look for work, but instead of doing so married again, and his family, whom he left at Walsall, became chargeable to the parish, and were received into the union workhouse. _ _ The prisoner said his wife would not go to him, and he could get no employment. The JUDGE—That's a curious reason for marrying another woman, and having two wives to keep instead of one.— (Laughter.) He was sentenced to twelve months' hard labour. The case of Beard, for wilful murder, is fixed for to-mor row morning. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Chief Justice TINDAL ) HILTON V. EARL GRANVILLE. At the opening of the Court this morning the hearing of this cause was resumed by Sir Thomas Wilde addressing the jury for the defendant, but, contrary to general expectation, he called no witnesses. At the conclusion of the Learned Sergeant's speech the Chief Justice summed up, and the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff' upon all the issues, thus arresting the work of spoliation and destruction to the pro perty of the cottagers. It is said that, unless some arrange ment is entered into, there will be at least fifty actions of a similar kind, now that the Court has decided against the pre scriptive right and custom relied on by the noble defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. (SATURDAY.) A young man named Angystus Halifax was brought before Sir John Key, in the custody of John Forrester, the officer, charged with having forged a cheque for 651. upon the banking house of Glyn and Co. Mr. Bush, the Solicitor to the Committee of Bankers for protection against forgeries and frauds, attended for the prosecution. Mr. Robert E. Griffith stated that he was cashier in the banking-house of Sir Richard Carr Glyn and Co., of :aombard-street. On the 25th of July he re ceived at the counter the cheque produced for 651., but he did not know from whom. The person who presented it was a young man, and witness paid it in four 101. Bank of England notes, numbered from 56,319 to 56,322, dated the 4th of June, and twenty five sovereigns, and entered it in the books. Mr. Edward Western, solicitor of No. 7, Great James-street, Bedford-row, stated that he banked at Sir R. C. Glyn and Co's. house. The account was kept in the name of James and Edward Western, but each of them signed his separate name only. The signature was not in the witness's handwriting. The prisoner had been known to him for some years, having been a clerk in his office, and he knew the prisoner's handwriting, and believed the date of the cheque and the figures to be his writing, as well as the words, but the latter were disguised. lie produced his cheque-book, which formerly had the numbers B 1,198, 1,199, 1,200 in it, but they had been taken out without his knowledge. The prisoner (to Mr. Western)—ls the writing in the body of the cheque at all like my ordinary writing? Mr. Western—Some of it is. The prisoner—Produce some of my ordinary writing that it may be compared with the cheque. Mr. Bush said the prisoner should have a full op portunity of showing his innocence if he had nothing to do with the forgery. The prisoner—The writing is not at all like mine. If my writing is produced the difference will at once be seen. John Forrester stated that he apprehended the pri soner at half-past ten o'clock that morning in Lon don-street, Cadogan-place. The prisoner said he had a lodging at No. 53, Southampton-street, Pentonville, and witness went thither and searched the prisoner's apartment, and found fifty sovereigns in a box. On the prisoner's person witness found 71. 14s. 4d. in gold and silver. Mr. Western said he could on a future day Too• duce fuller evidence as to the prisoner's handwriting and other facts. The prisoner declared that there was no founda tion whatever for the charge of forgery. The writing in the cheque was totally different from his, and he knew nothing at all about it. lie was then remanded. GUILDHALL. Mr. John Bowden, a surgeon employed in mid wifery cases in the Aldersgate district of the East London Union, was brought up in custody, charged with indecently assaulting a patient, a young Irish woman, far advanced in pregnancy with her first child. Mr. Bayliss the clerk of the Board of Guardians, and Mr. Postan, the vestry clerk of Aldersgate, at tended the examination. Eliza Driscoll, who appeared to be about 30 years of age, stated that, having obtained a letter from the parochial authority, she went to the prisoner's sur gery in Aldersgate-street, on the 20th ult., to com plain of indisposition. He gave her some medicine, and told her to come again, and she accordingly paid her second visit on the following Wednesday. He then attempted to put his hand under her clothes, but she would not allow it. She told her husband, who said she ought to have submitted, for examina tion would better enable him to prescribe for her, and there was nothing to fear from a respectable me dical gentleman. At her next visit for medicine the prisoner attempted twice to kiss her, but she would not suffer it,and again told her her husband. Her husband said he did not think the gentleman meant any harm, he only wanted to seem kind and gain her confidence, that she might not be alarmed when he attended her by and by. On Wednesday last the prisoner came up to their lodgings at No. 1, Lauderdale-buildings, Aldersgate-street, and asked her husband to mend his coat. Her husband took it into the next room to re pair, and while he was absent the doctor asked an in decent question which she did not understand, till she repeated it to her husband. He told her to call atthe surgery next day. On that occasion he pushed against her several times, and expressed surprise that a little woman should have become so large. He pulled open her shawl and kissed her neck, and asked when she was alone. She said she generally worked in a room by herself. Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER asked why she told him when she would be found alone ? She replied, he put the question and she answered it according to the truth, that she worked alone in the evening. He said he would come and see her in the evening. He came at seven o'clock on Friday evening. He asked if she was better. She told him she had a pain in the back. He put his hand under her clothes. lie told her to sit down on the edge of the chair, and he knelt down and partly undressed him self. When he exposed himself she called him a villian, and gave him three blows in the face. The noise brought in her husband and another man, who were at work in the adjoining room. They saw what state the doctor was in. The prisoner, who is a staid looking man, of 45 years of age, declined cross-examining the witness. Jeremiah Driscoll, the husband, stated that he heard his wife call out, and found Mr. Bowden endea vouring to button up his trousers. Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER asked, if he knocked the prisoner down or thrashed him well ? The hus band said, no. The Alderman observed, it was a great pity he had not done so on the instant. The husband said he was afraid it might cause the death of his wife if he began to fight. Michael Murray, a tailor, confirmed the husband's statement, as to their findir.g the prisoner trying to button up his trousers. The policeman, George Russell, said the prisoner admittel to him that he had been talking foolishly to the woman. The prisoner said he did not suppose she would re peat to her husband any trifling expression he might let fall; but much of the latter part of her statement was untrue. If a button had slipped out of a button hole, that was merely an accident. Mr. Alderman HUNTER, after conferring with Mr. Alderman Farebrother and Mr. Alderman Challis, said he had the power to impose a fine for the assault, but he thought the ends of justice would be better served, and the public would be better protected, by requiring the defendant to find bail, himself in 801., and two sureties in 401. each, to answer the charge at the sessions. Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER said he concurred in this decision. The rich could protect themselves ; but the poor must be fully protected by the law. The prisoner not being prepared with the required bail, was committed to prison. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Messrs. Wessell and Stapleton, music publishers, of Frith-street, Soho, were summoned before Mr. Hard wick, under the Copyright Act, at the instance of Sir Henry Ellis, principal librarian of the British Mu seum, for having neglected to supply.certain copies of their publications for the use of the British Museum. In the Copyright Act there is a clause which obliges publishers to supply, gratuitously, copies of works they may publish to certain publii institutions, amongst which is the British Museum. Any party failing to send these publications regularly is liable to a fine of 51., to be recovered on application to a magistrate. Mr. Payne attended for the plaintiff. It was alleged that copies of certain musical pub lications—the " Turnarin Quadrilles," and other works—had not been sent to the British Museum. Mr. Stapleton, who attended for the firm, put an end to the necessity for proof of the non-delivery of the publications, by at once admitting the fact, and declaring that the circumstance had occurred from no desire to dispute the right of the trustees of the Bri tish Museum to the gratuitous copies of works, but from inadvertence. Mr. Payne said it was important to let publishers know that it was the determination of the trustees of the Museum to press for the highest penalty against those publishers who neglected to comply with the provisions of the Copyright Act ; but in the present case, as the defendants had pleaded that the omission was accidental, he should, on behalf of the trustees, request the magistrate to mitigate the fine. Mr. HARDWICK inflicted the reduced penalty of 7s. which was immediately paid. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING. AUGUST 5, 1844. UNION-HALL. William Edward Brown, a young man of very fashionable appearance, and whose connexions were stated to be highly respeetable, a shopman in the ser vice of Mr. Dobson, linendraper and haberdasher, High-street, Southwark, was brought before Mr. Traill, charged with embezzling, and stealing from the till, various sums of money belonging to his mas ter and employer. Mr; Woolf attended on behalf of the prisoner. From* the statement made to the Magistrate, it appeared that the prisoner had only been in the ser vice of Mr. Dobson for about six weeks, and was place in Mr. Dobson's establishment by his friends for the purpose of learning his business ; and, as he was entirely useless in the trade, no salary was allowed. The habits in which the prisoner indulged were far above his station in society ; he entered into all the gaieties and amusements of the metropolis, and seemed to have plenty of money at his command, as he indulged in all kinds of extravagance. The prosecutor had every reason to imagine that he was robbed by the prisoner, in order Co support, his extravagance, and, as the prosecutor was continually missing money from the ti 1, he was determined to set a trap for the prisoner. Accordingly, on Friday last, Mr. Dobson marked several half-crowns and shillings, to the amount of 265. in silver, and gave them to a lady of his acquaintance, the wife of a respectable tradesman, requesting her to lay out the whole of the money in his shop, and to get served by the prisoner. Airs. Bell, the lady in question, accordingly went to the shop of Mr. Dobson, and made purchases to the amountof 255., for which she got a bill from the pri soner, vvhich she afterwards handed to Mr. Dobson. After the lady was gone, Mr. Dobson went to the till, and finding a deficiency of silver, the prisoner was taxed with dishonesty, which he stoutly denied. Po lice-constable, M 60, was called in, and on searching the prisoner he found one of the marked shillings in his trousers pocket, besides two half-crowns. The prisoner, in a state of great excitement, begged Mr. Dobson would not prosecute. Mr. Woolf put a variety of questions to the prose cutor, but his testimony was not shaken. Mr. TRAIL( said he should commit the prisoner for trial, but he would be brought up again on Tues day, when probably further evidence would be ad duced against him. Mr. Woolf pressed the Magistrate to take bail, and said the amount was very trifling. Mr. TRAILL said he could make no exception to the general rule, and the prisoner's case must be dealt with like that of any other pBrson. He con sidered the case was fully established, and could not take bail. Mr. 'Woolf replied that the connexions of the pri soner were highly respectable, and they would give bail to any amount. Mr. TRAILL said he must refuse the application. The night charges were more than unusually numerous this morning, and occupied the attention of the magistrate, Mr. Traill, a considerable period. The charges consisted of drunkenness, rioting, and abusive language. Mr. Traill, in most cases, inflicted tines, varying in amount from 40s. to 55., or, in default of payment, from seven to fourteen days' impri sonment. Robert Spinner, a most expert thief, and a character well known to the police as a professor of teaching juvenile thieves in the art and mystery of diving into gentlemen's pockets, was brought up in the custody of police constable M 101, for exercising his calling in the High-street, Bort,ugh, and " sounding" the pockets of several gentlemen. The po liceman informed the magistrate that, knowing what a skil ful and experienced character be had to deal with, he watched his motions for a length of time, and at length caught him in the act of lifting up the tails of a gentleman's coat. Mr. TRALL informed the prisoner that he was in a fair way as a candidate either for the gallows or the penal settlements, and sentenced the prisoner to fourteen days' imprisonment in the House of Correction. . _ _ Ann Harris, a prostitute, residing in a common brothel of the lowest description, in Vine-court, Toolev-street, Borough, was committed for twenty-one days to the House of Correction, for robbing a sailor of his jacket. "Jack" informed the magistrate that now he had not got a shot in the locker, and he must go to sea again. James Sadler, a news-boy, in the employ of Mr. James Norris, bookseller and newsvender, of High-street, Camber well, was charged with embezzling various sums of money, received from different customers. Mr. Norris, in answer to a question from the magistrate, said he did not wish to carry the case to the sessions. The prisoner was dismissed with an admonition from the magistrate. STEAM NAVY of GREAT BRITAIN. In September, 1841, there were 68 steam-vessels of all classes in commission. On July 1, 1844, there were 89. In September, 1841, there were 15 steam-vessels in ordinary; in July last, there were 12. In 1841, we had Bon the stocks; now, we have building 26. The amount of horse-power in 1841 and 1844 is as follows : • Sept. 1841. In commission ...... 9,329 In ordinary Building 1,897 July 1844. 13,941 3,167 9,526 The steam-vessels building ai Horse-power.

The Bulldog has her keel laid down, and will be launched at the end of the year. The Sphynx is laid down, the Centaur has her timbers prepared, and the frame of the Avenger is being cut out. The timbers of the Conflict, Dauntless, Desperate, Niger, and Odin are partly prepared and in course of preparation. NUMBER OF SEAMEN AND MA RINES IN THE NAVY. Some most gross and seemingly wilful misrepresentations of the number of seamen and marines of the navy having been made by parties whose positions might entitle them to some degree of credit, we have extracted from official sources the following statement of the number of seamen and marines voted durirg the last seven years :- 1837-38 Seamen Supplementary 465 Mai ines 1838-39 Seamen Marines 1839-40 Seamen Marines 1840-41 Seamen Marines 1841-42 Seamen .............. Marines 1842-43 Seamen Marines 1843-44 Seamen Marines 1844-45 Seamen Marines The following is a statement of the actual number of sea men borne on the navy books :- Ist January, 1838 Ditto 1839 Ditto lB4O Ditto lB4l Ditto 1842 Ditto 1843 Ditto 1844 And from undoubted authority we find that the number borne on the books on the,lst ult. was above 28,000, so that with our decreased number of ships of the line, and, as some unhesitatingly assert, our " decreased number of smaller ves sels," we have actually a greater force of seamen and marines than in 1841, with the so-much-vaunted-of 26 sail of the line.—Morning The General Steam Navigation Company's favou rite steamer Magician, was again employed, on Thursday last, to bring the Indian mail from Boulogne to Dover. She landed the mail and about 50 passengers a little over two hours after her departure from Boulogne. ALARMING AFFAIR AT GIBRALTAR.—The late ar rival of the Gibraltar mail brings information of a most alarming occurrence happening in the vicinity of that for tress, which has created the greatest sensation amongst the residents. A Mr. Starkey, a merchant, much respected in the town, was riding on horseback, in company with two other gentlemen, near San Roque, when two mounted bri gands, armed to the teeth, rode up and stopped them. They they directed Mr. Sarkey to follow them, and told his com panions to proceed on to Gibraltar, saying that if within twenty-four hours the sum of 20,000 dollars was not sent to them at a certain place, it would go hard with their friend Mr. Starkey. They then rode off with their prisoner, and the gentlemen lost no time in making for Gibraltar, and com municating the affair to the military authories. Scouring parties of the Carabiniers were promptly sent out in all di rections; but nothing was heard of the robbers or of their captive until late in the evening, when a shepherd stated that he had seen three horsemen enter a thicket adjoining the Pine-wood. A strong body of military was quickly dis patched to the spot, and by the troops surrounding this part of the forest, the escape of the brigands was rendered im possible. They were at last discovered, and being called upon to surrender themselves as prisoners, made a most de termined resistance. • One was shot; and the other, having an excellent h orse un d er him, dashed his w a y th rough the Carabiniers, and eventually escaped. To the surprise of all Mr. Stark e y was not i n th e l e ast injured. It appears that one of his sister s h a d recen tly b e en married to a c a ptain of the Carabiniers, who has much distinguishe d himself in appre hending several of these daring ruffians , which no d oubt in duced them to attack Mr. Starkey. A VETERAN.—There is now living in one of the hospitals in Stoney-street, in this town , a p ensioner, n amed Robert Bignall, who has reached the advanced age of ninety five years. He enlisted in 1771 into the 57th Regiment of Foot, and served during the whole of the American war, being wounded at the battle of Brandywine. He also served in Holland; and after being nearly twenty-four years a soldier, he received his discharge in 1794, since which time he has been in the receipt of a pension. Though infirm, the old fellow still retains his memory unimpaired, and possesses an almost interminable fund of campaigning anecdotes, which he often recounts for the amusement of his friends, and he is never better pleased than when he has this opportunity of " fighting all his battles o'er again."—.Nottingham Journal. REGULATION OF STEAM-BOATS ON THE RIVER. A Committee of Aldermen was held on Saturday at Guildhall, for the purpose of hearing any objections parties interested in the steam navigation of the River Thames might have to the draft rules suggested to the Court of Mayor and Aldermen for the regulation of steam-vessels, pursuant to the provisions of the Water• men's Act, 7th and Bth George IV., cap. 75. The Lord Mayor, Aldermen Sir John Pirie, Thomas Wood, Gibbs, Farebrother, and John Johnson, formed the Committee, and the Chairman and Members of the Navigation Committee and several of the proprietors of the steam-boat companies, and a few of the body of the Watermen's Company, were present. Solicitors also attended on the part of some of the steam-boat com panies. Mr. Cooper, the Secretary to the Watermen's Company, appeared for that company. The LORD MAYOR stated that he had received a letter from Sir John Hall objecting to one of the rules, which went to interdict any steam-vessel from being placed alongside any ship whilst towing her within certain boundaries. Sir John urged the indispensable neces sity of using steam tugs under certain circumstances alongside of vessels, and added that the prohibition might vitiate the policies of insurance, which demanded that every protection should be yielded. Mr. Newbon, the Solicitor to the Watermen's Steam Company, said the company he represented, although the smallest company on the river, was seriously inte rested in the regulations. He was anxious to know whether the rules emanated from the Court of Aldermen or from the Watermen's Company ? The LORD MAYOR said the Court of Alderman had seen the necessity of making arrangements for the better regulation of steam-vessels, and had deputed the City Solicitor, in conjunction with the Watermen's Company, to frame a body of rules for the approval of the Court, and before the Court would agree to these rules, they were desirous to hear any objections which might be made. Mr. Newbon then suggested that the Committee should postpone the consideration of the rules, that the various steam companies might have opportunities of producing evidence on matters of such great importance to them. The LORD MAYOR said the Committee considered they were justified in making rules adapted to the altered condition of the river, and fur the public safety, which was seriously endangered by the present steam-boat practices of over-crowding and rapid speed. Mr. Matthews (solicitor to the Star Steam-vessel Company), objected to the propo•ition that the Water - men's Company should have the power of compelling the licensing of steam-vessels, and of inflicting penalties in case of refusal. He saw nothing in the Watermen's Act to justify the exercise of any authority of the kind, that Company's power being limited in its operation to watermen themselves. The Loan MAYOR said the Committee contended that all those who are to come under the operation of the rules must be watermen, and no others had a right to act. Mr. Matthews submitted that time ought to be afforded to produce evidence on so important a qubject. His objection was to the authority of the Watermen's Company. The LORD MAYOR asked whether Mr. Matthews denied the right of the Court of Aldermen to make regu lations for the improvement of the navigation of the river? Mr. Matthews replied, that he did not deny the right of the Court of Aldermen, but he disputed the right to delegate such authority to the Watermen's Com pany. The LORD MAYOR said the rules should be carried out if some practical objections were not shown. It was quite clear that somebody had the power, whether that power existed in the Court of Aldermen or in the Water men's Company, and it was as evident that the time had arrived for exercising it. .The TOWN CLERK read several regulations, the prin cipal of which (that which related to the number of persOns to he allowed to be taken on board, and that for the regulation of the speed of the vessels), ruled that no steam-vessel, whose voyage was within the limits, should he licensed to - carry more thin one passenger for every four square feet of the deck; and that the speed should not exceed six miles an hour with the tide, nor four miles the hour against the tile. By the second of these regulation, the dangers hitherto so imminent in the pool would be averted, and by the first the nuisance and inconvenience, as well as the danger to the passengers, would be completely obviated. _ _ _ In explanation of the rule on the subject of carrying the passengers, Mr. Corh er (the secretary to the Watermen's Com piny) stated (and particularised some) that the steam vessels which were now notorious for carrying 1,000 or 1.100 p.issengers would, according to the calculation made, be pei mitted to carry no more than about 635. It was stated that in order to prevent a greater num ber from going on board than would be admissible by the regulation, it would be absolutely necessary to have the whole body of police in constant attendance at the places of embarkation. The LORD MAYOR said that the proprietors of steam• boats were under no necessity of troubling their heads upon that subject, as the necessary preparations should be mad,. It was objected that the steam-vessels might, with perfect safety, be allowed to carry at the rate of foui passengers per ton, and that the speed might he per mitted to be at the rate of eight miles an hour with the tide, and six miles against the tide. The Committee stated that the objections should be taken into consideration with all possible expedition, so that the public may rely on an early decision. There can be no doubt as to the result. It is proper to state that the readiest disposition was expressed upon the part of the several steam-boat com panies:to agree with the Committee in any regulations fo r the security of the public. REGULATIONS RESPECTING EN GINEERS IN HER MAJESTY'S STEAM-VES SELS, PAY, &c. (From a Correspondent of the Shipping Gazette.) The following important regulations respecting the quali fications of engineers in the Royal Navy have been issued, by order of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, which prove how anxious Government is to have an efficient corps of engineers for our steam-vessels First Engineers.—No person will be considered qualified to hold the warrant of a first-class engineer, who is not able to keep accounts, and to make notes in the log of every particu lar of the work of engines and boilers. He must be tho roughly acquainted with the principles on which the ma chine works in all its parts, and capable of setting right any defects which may arise in the engine or boilers, and also to adjust the length of the various rods and motions, slides, valves, and eccentrics. He must have been at sea as engi neer, and be capable of working, starting, and stopping the engines, &c.. and able to make rough sketches, correct in proportions, of any part of the machinery, and willing to take charge of and teach the apprentices. Second engineers must not be inferior in education to the first engineers, and but little behind in mechanical acquire ments, with the exception of the nice points of adjustment of slides, parallels, motions, &c. Third engineers should be equal in education to the second and first engineers, and will be selected either from the senior class of apprentices, or appointed direct from a factory. They must be accustomed to engine work, and acquainted with the principles of the engine, with the names of all its parts, their uses, and effect in producing motion. A PP OINTMENT. —Engineers to be appointed, after exami nation,by warrant from the Lords Commissioners of the or by commanders in chief on foreign stations, Admiralty, on vacancies occasioned by death, &c., in the same manner as otheriwarrant officers of the navy are now appointed. No person to be deemed eligible for an appointment as engineer of any class until he shall have passed such exami nation as the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty may from time to time think proper to require for such class, before the chief engineer and inspector of steam machinery, or such other officers as they may appoint. R ANK . —E n gineers to be distributed into three clases, and to rank next below carpenters , and with e a c h o theraccording to their standing on the official list. PAY AND ALLOWANCES. —To engineers when serving on board one of her Majesty's steam-vessels in commission, or in any of her Majesty's dockyards, whenever their services may be required there ; or in repairing their own or any ether vessel in the home dockyards, Holyhead, the River Thames, Portsmouth, or Plymouth harbour ; or where the vessel to which they belong is paid off, and they are still re. tamed on board :- Ist class, 121. per lunar month, and 6d. a day extra for each engineer's boy whom they instruct ; 2d class, 8/. per lunar month ; and ad class, 51.65. per lunar month. When serving on board one of her Majesty's steam-vessels within the tropics, while the steam is up, one-half the amount of the pay of the respective classes in addition. Engineers of vessels in commission, when employed in re pairing defects of other vessels than those in which they are serving, except in the home dockyards, Holyhead, the River Thames, Portsmouth or Plymouth Harbour, to be allowed extra pay as warrant officers in addition, according 'to the scale established by her Majesty's regulations, when borne on the books of the guard-ships of the ordinary, and not actually employed in the charge or repair of steam ma chinery :- Ist class, per month, 71. 17s. ; 2d class, per month, 41. 18s. ; and 3d class, 3/.Bs. per month.

The superannuation of engineers to be upon the so& esta blished for warrant officers of the Royal Navy. By command of their Lordships, Admiralty, Aug. 1. SIDNEY HERBERT. The Earl of Selkirk and suite were among the passengers by the General Steam Navigation Company's mail-packet Countess of Lonsdale, from Hamburgh, which vessel brought the mail of Wednesday from that place. Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart., at his audit last week, caused a return of 10/. per cent. to be made on the rents of all his tenantry at Llangedwin, Llaurhaiad, and Llansilin. THE CROPS IN FRANCE.—The Courrier de Lyon gives a flattering account of the state of the crops in that part of the country. The harvest is going on most satisfac torily, the grain in abundance, and very fine. The vines have recovered in consequence of the late favourable weather, and should it continue, the crop may be expected to be an average one and of good quality. A tolerable after crop of hay is also expected. In Champagne and in the Vosges, however, the prospects of the farmer are not so favourable. The wet weather, in many parts, has rendered the harvest backward, and it is feared that much of the corn will be spoiled. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—The complaint of want of rain is no longer heard from the farmers ; the copious showers of the last ten days have filled the ground with moisture, and though it has been scarcely sufficient to open the springs freely, an apprehension began to prevail on Tuesday, when the barometer fell in twenty-four hours from "fair" to "change," and from " change" to "rain," that we were doomed to have a wet harvest. The rising of the mercury since that time has served to dissipate these alarms, and in the southern counties, where the harvest has com menced pretty generally, the prospects are said to be grati fying for the wheat crops, and that even the spring corn, such as oats and barley, turn out better than was expected. In our northern counties little corn has yet been cut, and the latter hay harvest bas been retarded by the late rains. The second crops of clover and grass form a striking contrast to the meagre produce of the first, and the potatoes and turnips, without any very great prospect of abundance, have improved amazingly within the last three weeks.—Leeds Mercury. ,~"''` ' PRICES OF SHARES IN CANALS, RAILWAYS, BANKS, ASSURANCE AND OTHER COMPANIES' STOCK.
