FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. 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 del.t of gratitude for most important services, and we hope we may now without offence add that the nation owes to his Lordship a heavy debt upon another score—reparation for grievous wrongs. Th;rty years the gallant nobleman was made the victim of as ilaeitiously 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 MM. shin to the banishment of the Gallant Earl from th e service of his own country. The story in few words is this :—A number of persoes, one of whom was Lord Dendenald's relation, and another his stock-broker, contrived a fraud to raise the price of the public funds, b 3 false news (cm anticipation of the restoration of the Bourbons). The case against these persons was proved clear:y enough by an exposure of all their pro e,'edings, in which it was manifest that Lord Dun douald took not the slightest part. It was proved, however, that ho lent a hat to the principal agent, with whom he had a casual acquaint ance ; ti.e hat was a plain round hat, such as gen tlemen cc mmonly wore at the time, and still wear. and the ref s usable pretext fur borrowing it was that the borroe er had on a showy military head-dress, whicl, caused him to be stared at in the street, notwithstanding that his gaudy foreign uniform wits otherwise shaded by a cloak. Upon the strength of this unlucky loan of a hat was Lord Dundoeald dragged in to the conspiracy, prived of h's commission, and driven, from that nobii service, even upon which his achimements had reflected new glories. But Lord Ellenborough was a commercial roan—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 Ohl 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 finds ? So much for Lord Dun 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 do 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 Govermerits that had a just right to clann all his services, the full benefit of it. It se ens to es that when a man engages in the service of a foreign State, he becomes, ipsojiwto, the subject of that State—a vendee 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 • Lot one liable to expo sure in the use of it, his Lordship ought to have given to the foreign Governments that he served all the advantage of it. If, however, 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 could 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 some nations of ad vawages they already possess. What, for example, would be the fate of our naval superiority were the " long range" universally adopted? What could Nelson himself do in conflict (if we may call it so) with, an enemy six miles off ? We comfort otmelves wilt the rcf•lrcti , r. that all these Ilngs are " moon shine," for the effect of them certainly would be to de prive England 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 which stimulates individual acts of daring for the sake of individual glory it was the tomb. Another and a more reflecting kind of courage has, how ever, susceeded, adapted to the changed style of war, and now the victory ii 'not to the impetuous and au dacious, bat to toe patient and enduring-, to the cool, celleieed, 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 be not merely the grave of all kinds of val tar, 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. GLOBE.—Mr. Liddell's Dog Stealing Commit tee has produced a sensible report. Perhaps the authority of a report of a Select Committee was hardly wanted to recommend Mr. Liddell'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-stealers, 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 turing a stolen dog is at present not penal. Rewards are eagerly given for the le covery 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 after a search-warrant has been obtained; to obtain which some reason must be shown for believing that the missing clog is in the particular premises to be 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 be 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 sSth clause of 7 and 8 Geo. IV., that the takingsof a reward for restoring a stolen dog would be felory—that dealers in dogs should be required to take out licenses that their p rem i ses should be open to inspeet ' ion an o c f l police-officers —and in possessio n o f s t o l en or lost dogs should ..( m d ade responsible for such possession, and be obit to bring . forward the names and places of abode d hose parties from whom, the said dog had been obtained, and that these latter parties shall, in like manner, be , o ig n a s t ib i( l ) e a . , "It appears to your Committee that suchanreosbil com bined with the licensing of the premises giveat of the dealers in not officers dogs, and the power of inspectio n n t d i re ly of police, would go liar to cheek, if it amoultd.e put a stop to this pernicious and illegal p tr a a r ffi tie c o s t - e an the same regulations might be applied to bringing lots of dogs to the quays and wt arfs of the different ports for exportation to the foreign market." HER MAJESTY.—The accounts received in town this mornijg' state that her Maje:Ay continues in the enjoyment of exullent THE PARLIAMENTARY SESSION.—It is now gener ally thought that the business in the House of Com mons will be brought to a close on Thursday next, and that the House will on that day adjourn for a short time, to enable the Lords to consider the Bills which will be sent up to them. No prorogation, however. will take place until judgment is given in the case of Mr. Daniel O'Connell and the other traverser& CABINET COUNCIL.—A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign-office to-clay, at the early hour of twelve ' o'clock. The Council was attended by Sir Robert Peel, the Puke of Wellingt9n, Lord Stanley, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Duke of Buccleugh, Mr. Glad stone, Sir Edwar4 Knatchbull, the Earl of Haddington, the Earl of Ripon, L 11 Granville Somerset, Lord Wharncliffe, Lord Aberdeen, and the Lord Chancellor. Sir James Graham joined his colleagues immediately after the adjournment of the House of Commons. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, AUG. 2.—Our raw sugar market has become quiet, and the trade continues extremely cautious in their purchases, confining them selves to supplying their immediate wants only. The sales since our last report are only 300 hhds. West In dia, chiefly the middling qualities, at former prices ; a small parcel of crystallised Demeraras, of large grain and good complexion, at from 70s. to 745. About 600 bags of Bengals have changed hands at steady prices, but the demand for Mauritius is very dull. Rum is steady at the quotations.—Bristol Mercury.

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron GURNEY.) ARSON.—George- Elderfield, 28, was indicted for feloniously setting fire to a stack of straw, the property of John Bicknell. In another count, the stack was said to be the property of the Right Hon. Arthur Earl of Onslow. Mr. Cfarkson and Mr. Knapp conducted the prosecu tion, and Mr. Charnock defended the prisoner. Mr. CLARKSON having briefly and candidly detailed the facts of the case. called the following witnesses. The case was of rather a singular character, and appeared to create a good deal of interest. Mr. John Bicknell examined by Mr. KNAPP—I hold a farm called the Wilderness farm, about a mile from Guildford, and which is the property of Earl Onslow. About half-past ten at night, on the 17th of May, I was awoke by an alarm of fire, and I got up immediately and found a straw-rick on fire. The fire very soon com municated to the other buildings, and before the horses and cattle could be got out, several were destroyed. Fifty quarters of oats and two of beans were also burnt. On the next morning the prisoner was brought to my house in the custody of an officer. Charles Hollington—l am inspector of police at Guild ford, and upon my receiving information of the fire, I sent for the engine, and proceeded myself to the spat. I also, for particular reasons, sent a constable to the prisoner's lodgings, and afterwards went there myself, but we could not find the prisoner. We searched for him on our way to the fire, but could see nothing of him at that time. NVe again went to the prisoner's lodgings after this, and he was then at home. I asked him where he had been, and he replied, " Laying eel-lines ;" and he added that he had met a young man at the water side, and remained with him until eleven o'clock at night. I told him to show me where the lines were laid, and took him to the river, and he pointed out several places. He said he did not know the young man he had been with. I then, in the prisoner's hearing, instructed a constable to watch the river, and told the prisoner I should detain him until I found whether his story was correct. The prisoner said lie was thirsty and I gave him some refreshment. While he was eating it he told me it was of no use for the constable to watch the river, for there were no eel-lines there, and he said he would tell me which way he went. At this time Mr. Bicknell's name had not been mentioned. The prisoner then took me over several fields towards Mr. Bicknell's farm, and showed me the track of footsteps, which I have no doubt were made by the shoes of the prisoner. As we were going along the prisoner pointed to a wide hedge, and said he had lain down there and gone to sleep, and that some boys were close by, but he did not think they saw him. We got to the farm about five in the morning, and I told Mr. Bicknell I had a man in custody who had confessed that he caused the fire. Mr. Bicknell asked him if he had ever injured him, and ho replied that he had not, and on his asking him how he came to commit such an act, the prisoner said the fact was that he was not right in his head, and that at times he did not know what he was about. Mr. Bicknell then walked with me and the prisoner, and the latter again showed the track of his footsteps, and I afterwards traced them by myself nearly up to the prisoner's lodging, and the way he ap peared to have gone was more than a mile round. The prisoner afterwards told me that he took three lucifer matches from his coat, and the first he tried to light broke. The second ignited, and with it he set fire to the corner of the straw stack, and when it blazed up he threw the third match down, and ran away. Cross-examined—There were one or two hundred persons present when I went to the fire. The stacks were in an open field. .My attention was first attracted to the fire about eleven o'clock, at which time it was blaz ing and had attracted a great deal of attention. I had known the prisoner before, and had conversed with him once or twice on the subject of fires, and I believe he is very fond of going to them. I know nothing of the state of his mind. The effect of my conversation with the pri soner was not to induce a belief that he was silly. He is commonly called "Cuckoo," and I believe he answers to the name. The prisoner was with me four or five hours before I took him to the fire. I only gave the prisoner half a pint of beer at the public-house where I first took him. I am not aware that drink has a great effect upon the prisoner. When I took him to my house the prisoner had about a wine-glass more beer out of a tumbler. He subsequently emptied the tumbler of beer. He had made the confession before I gave him this beer, but when he had drunk the beer, he said he would tell us which way he went. I did not see any other foot tracks than those of the prisoner in the direction that he took us. Re-examined—A good deal of time was occupied in going to the river and making inquiries. I gave nothing to the prisoner until he complained of being hungry and thirsty, and I swear that he was perfectly sober. Charles Mandeville—l am one of the Guildford po lice. On the night of the fire I went to the prisoner's house, and when the last witness came to me we inquired for the prisoner, but could not find him. The witness then proceeded to confirm the testimony of the last wit ness, and added that the prisoner, when he pointed out the foot tracks, made others by the side of some of them, and said, " You see it is my foot." We remarked there was a half-tip to the shoe, and the prisoner held up his foot and showed that he had a half-tip on his shoe. The prisoner also said that if the wind had been a little more in the west it would have made the old house smoke. The prisoner made this statement in answer to a remark made in his behalf relative to the wind, to the effect that it was fortunate there was an east wind at the time of the fire, or much more damage would have been done. The prisoner was perfectly sober at this time. By Mr. CIIARNOCK—When the prisoner was at the house of the inspector he told us he would show the way he went to Mr. Bicknell's. I have known the pri soner all his life. He is about twenty-eight years old, but I know nothing of his state of mind. He has been in the service of Mr. Drewett as shepherd. I do not consider the prisoner silly. He always answered every question I put to him properly. I have myself some times called him " Cuckoo." He has been in the habit of prognosticating about the weather, but I have not heard him shout out in the street, " It will he a wet clay to-morrow." The prisoner is generally called through out the neighbourhood " the cuckoo boy.' He was not very cheerful at first, but when he had told us the story he said that he felt better, and he afterwards told us all the 'particular q, and seemed much more cheerful. The fire could be seen all over the town of Guildford. By Mr. CLARKSON—The prisoner is in the habit of imitating the notes of birds, and among others those of the cuckoo. Mr. Bicknell recalled—l remember when the pri soner was brought to me by the witness Hollington. I have know him ever since he was a boy. I asked him if he was the man who had set my premises on fire? He said " I am." I said " How came you to do it—have I ever injured you?" Prisoner replied, " No, I have no animosity against you, but I am not right in my head at times, and don't know what lam about." The pri soner then said he would show us which way he went, and as we were going along he told me how he had fired the stack, and pointed out a hedge where he had sat down and looked at the fire while it was blazing. He then took me to several places, and showed me his foot steps, and upon my remarking that some were not very plain, he told me that if I would go with him to the next field, which was fallow and had ; been recently ploughed, he would show me some that were very plain, and he pointed out the mark of his tip, and made an impression with his foot, and said, " Is not that a well fit?" By Mr. CHARNOCK—I cannot say that I consider the prisoner to be of weak mind. He told his story very cheerfully, and walked over the field and pointed out the foot-marks. Jeremiah Campbell proved that he watched the river on the night in question, and looked for eel-lines, but could not find any, neither did he see any person come to the river. _ Sarah Elderfield—l am the prisoner's aunt, and reside in Bury Field-lane, Guildford. The prisoner and two other boys live in the house with me. On the night of the fire, the prisoner went out between six and seven o'clock, and he did not return until half-past eleven, be fore which time the officers had been to inquire for him. I asked the prisoner where he had been so late, and hP said with a man from Godalming, whom he did not know, setting eel-lines. Cross-examined—The prisoner has lived with me for twelve years. His father lives at Isleworth, and is a very poor man. I think the prisoner is of very weak mind, and he had fits when he was a baby. Formerly I have remarked that his head was quite soft at the back, and he frequently fainted when his hair was cut. He used to wander about the fields, but I am not aware that he was very fond of going to fires. The prisoner does not live very well, and if he gets half a pint of beer it is quite enough to set him talking ; and if he had taken a pint, I should not pay any attention to what he said. He once told me that he had dug a hole in St. Cathe rine's-hill, but Ido not recollect that he said he was going to bury himself in it. It was a very curious place, and several people as well as myself went to see it. I believe the hole is there now. I never knew the pri soner to be mischievous. Since he last came out of pri son, I think his head has been worse than before, and he told me of a dream that he had had while in gaol. On the Wednesday, the day before the fire, he complained of his head ; and when he went out he told me he should not be home that night, and I sent his brother to watch him, as I feared something would happen to him. I met the prisoner afterwards, and be told me his head was so bad that he could not get home. By Mr. CLARKSON—The prisoner has had no fits since he was quite a little boy. He has been at work for a Mr. Drewett during the last seven or eight years, and he received seven shillings a week. The prisoner had never been under any restraint. I did not observe any thing particular in his conduct, from the time he came out of prison until the day before the fire. By Mr. Baron G URNEY—The prisoner was in custody for three months. Baron GURNEY—What was he tried for ? Witness— He was tried for a fire. _ This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. CIiARNOCK then addressed the jury, and said that in a case of this description, which was of a character to excite a prejudice in the mind of every man against the author of the crime. It was very difficult, indeed, to overcome that prejudice, but he trusted the jury would not allow it to prevail with them, but that they would be guided solely by the evidence in the cause. The case had been most fairly and honourably conducted by his Learned Friend, but upon the facts, as they had been proved, he submitted that the evi e.ence was not sufficient to prove, without any rea sonable doubt, that the prisoner was guilty of the crime imputed to him. The Learned Counsel then went on to say, that the first question for the jury to consider was, whether the prisoner was proved to have committed this offence at all ' • and he submitted that this was very far from being made out. Should they, however, be of opinion that this was made out, he contended that the evidence for the prosecution itself made out sufficiently the fact, that the prisoner was of weak mind and not accountable for his actions. It was in evidence that he was called the cuckoo-boy, and that he was looked upon by all who knew him as a silly, childish person ; and although, probably the jury were not very well ac• quainted with medical matters, yet their own common sense would indtice them, he apprehended, with very little difficulty to come to the same conclusion. He would then remark upon the absence of any motive of revenge or ill-will towards the prosecutor, and upon . the extraordinary manner in which the prisoner had confirmed,his crime, and actually called evidence against himself, which he submitted was convincing proof of the weak state of the prisoner's mind. Mr. Baron GURNEY then summed up, and said the first question for the jury was, whether the prisoner committed the act imputed to him. If they thought he did not, there was nothing more for them to consider, but if they entertained a contrary opinion, then they would have to consider, not whether the prisoner had a weak mind or a silly mind, but whether, at the time he did so commit it, he was in such a state of mind as to know what lie was about, and be capable of distinguishing between right and wrong. It was not necessary for any motive to be proved, and during the present circuit children of eight. nine, and twelve years of age had been convicted of offences of this description, when it ap peared that their only motive was to see a bonfire; but as it was proved that they knew they were doing wrong, they were convicted and punished for the offence. The Learned Judge then went minutely through the evi dence, and left the case in the hands of the jury. The jury, after deliberating for a short time, acquitted the prisoner upon the ground of insanity, and he was ordered to be detained in safe custody. NORFOLK ClRCUlT—Norwich, Aug. 1. CROWN COURT--(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) Henry Poising, 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. EVANS 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, wa s walking through hi s f arm , w ith his bailiff, on the 26th 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 seme 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 I 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. Mr. 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 and 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 for 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 sus A p n ec o t t subjected to a close cross-examination on b eh alf of the pri soner, the result of which was that he had • not told his " grand'ther" what he saw till he w as told th e prisoner was e h d e . r witness, a po li ce man, 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 WitaLtsts 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 for 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 b y a six feet f ence , save where access was permitted through a gate from the horse vard, which was itself accessible from the back doors of the dwelling -house. On the night in question Miss Betts, who had been out "a teaing " 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 th e p rosecu t or , w ho was going to bed , discovered that there was a fire on his premises , an d, r u s hin g down stairs, heard som e one p ass by him round the corner of the house, which w as i n th e di rec t c ourse from the horse-yard to tl t: " pump ba c k-h ouse y ar d." The person of this man was net' 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 he 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.) John 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 be transmitted to the Society in question, and were proved to be in the handwriting of the prisoner, though signed " Robert Ward:" Fletcher proved that he sent by the Duke of Rutland's postmaster the sum of V. to Grantham. for the purpose of a post-office order being obtained and sent to Leicester in aid of the funds of the Society for the Protection of British Industry; the letter in which it was contained being directed to Mr. IL 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 he 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 ClRCUlT.—Stafford, Aug 1.. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Sergeant ACIIERLEY.) 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, in 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 for 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. s' 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 Canfield, 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 Jupwc—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 TI DAL ) 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. (YESTERDAY.) CLERKEN WELL. Charles Henry Thomas, a genteel-looking young man, a clerk to Messrs. Tennant and Harrison, solicitors, Gray's Inn-square, was charged with stealing a quantity of silver-plate, consisting of candlesticks, toast-rack, snuffers and stand, two Chinese silk shawls, a splendidly bound edition of the Pictorial Bible, in three vols. quarto, a telescope, and other valuable articles, the property of Miss Elizabeth Grimes, to whom Mr. Harrison, is guardian. In December last six cases of plate, books, &c., were brought from Bristol, and deposited in a room adjoining the 4affice, in Gray's Inn-square, and to which the pri soner had access. On the 19th of June the prisoner pledged the candlesticks at the shop of Mr. King, a pawnbroker, in High Holborn, alleging that his name was John Thomas, and that they were the property of his aunt, a Mrs. Crowe, who lived in Gray's Inn-lane. On the same representation he pawned, at intervals, the other articles at Mr. King's, and at Mr. Crocket's, another pawnbroker, living in Dean-street, Holborn. On the 18th ult., he offered the silver toast-rack in pawn to Mr. King, but demanded so small a sum upon it that his suspicions were awakened, and he sent for po lice-constable Chapman, 38 E. When the constable arrived, the prisoner expressed his readiness to conduct him to his aunt, whom he now said lived in Leather-lane, and who would at once confirm the veracity of his state ment ; but finding that Chapman was determined on in vestigating the matter, he made a full confession of his guilt. The property was identified as Miss Grimes's, by 111 r. Hull, an appraiser, and it appeared that the reason of the prisoner's stating the articles were the property of Mrs. Crowe was because the name of Crowe (Miss Grimes's aunt) was engraved on the inside of the bibles and prayer-books. He wits committed for trial to the Old Bailey. A young lad, named Thomas Hobbes, was sent to the House of Correction for two months, for stealing fifteen apples from the orchard of a person, named Rippon, residing in the Archway-road, Holloway. Mr. Rippon was not present. The boy had never been in custody before ; but the policeman who apprehended him, Ser geant Kell, S, said he saw him in company with bad characters. The boy was aged about fourteen. Mr. Greenwood was the Magistrate. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

THE RIGHT OF SEARCH. The following are the general instructi ons f or th e guidance of her Majesty's naval officers employed in the suppression of the slave trade, presented to the House of Lords by the Earl of Aberdeen on Thursday last :- I.—The slave trade has boen denounced by all the civilised world as repugnant to every principle of justice and humanity. You are, however, to bear in mind, that Great Britain claims no right whatever with respect to foreign ships engaged in that traffic,' excepting such as the law of nations warrants,, or as she possesses by virtue of special treaties and conventions with particular States. 2. In proceeding to deal with a vessel suspected of being engaged in the slave trade, you are in the first instance to refer to that part of the instructions which applies to the particular circumstances of the case. But those instructions in no degree diminish the necessity of a careful study of the treaty, convention, or law, upon which they are founded. You are, therefore, to make yourself thoroughly conversant with the treaties, con ventio.is, and laws, as well as with all the instructions given to you relative to the slave trade ; and you are to enjoin the officers under your command to make them selves acquainted with the parts that refer to the duties which those officers may have to perform, taking care to afford every facility for this purpose. 3. The powers with which you are invested on this service, are intrusted to you for the sole purpose of sup pressing the slave trade, and are never to be exercised without reasonable grounds of suspicion that the case is one of a vessel liable, on account of being engaged in the slave trade, to be brought to justice by her Majesty's ship under your command. 4. You are not to visit a vessel under a foreign flag on the high seas on suspicion of slave trade, except in virtue of special authority under treaty, or in case you have reason to believe that the vessel has no right or title to claim the protection of the flag she bears. 5. You are not, on any account, to search any vessel, whether British or foreign, lying within the recognised jurisdiction of a foreign civilised State, without the formal permission of the local authorities. 6. Towards every functionary, British or foreign, with whom you may come in contact, you will invariably main tain a respectful and courteous demeanour. 7. Towards the masters and crews of vessels whose cases it will be your duty to investigate in the service of suppressing the slave trade, you will not only use mode ration and discretion, combined with firmness in the exe cution of the duty entrusted to you, but will take every opportunity of affording them assistance in distress, giving them medical advice when required, and furnish ing supplies when they are urgently needed and can properly be spared by her Majesty's ships. 8. You will take special care to insure propriety of language and demeanour on the part of officers, stamen, and marines, to all persons with whom they may come into contact in, the service of suppressing the slave trade ; and they must be reminded that any breach of discipline, or any exhibition of intemperance, will be visited with severe punishment ; and in all cases her Majesty's officers are to recollect that they will be held answerable, not only for their own conduct, but for that of their men. 9. You are not, without necessity, to resort to co ercive measures for bringing vessels to ; and you are to be cautious not to occasion further deviation from the course such vessels are steering than a due regard to the service on which you are employed may require ; and you will bear in mind that, in every case, and in all stages of the proceedings, it is highly important to cause to the vessel visited as little delay or inconvenience as possible, consistent with the effectual discharge of the duty to be executed. 1 - 0. You are not entitled to insist that a boat shall be sent to you from a vessel which has been brought-to for the purpose of being visited, or that any person shall come, or that any papers shall be brought on board of her Majesty's ships, upon such occasions. 11. On all occasions of visiting suspected vessels, the officer sent on board is to be in proper uniform. and of the rank required by the treaty or instructions under which the visit is made, and the boat in which he goes is always to carry a British flag and pendant ; and he is to be provided with the dccuments conferring authority to visit and search, and the instructions applicable to the occasion. 12. Before an officer proceeds to search a vessel, the minutest inspection is to be made of her papers, and every information elicited which can be obtained by in quiries courteously made ; as by this means the necessity of a search may be avoided. 13. The crew of a boat sent to visit a suspected vessel is never to be suffered to quit the boat, unless specially ordered to do so. The officer is not to order them to quit the boat, unless it may' be necessary to search the vessel, or unless circumstances of the moment impera tively require it. If further assistance is obtained from the cruiser, for the purpose of making a minute search, the additional men must be accompanied by a sufficient number of officers to prevent damage to the cargo, or any irrregularity or excess. 14. Neither the master, nor any of the persons on board the vessel, are to be removed during the search, without their consent. 15. When, after the examination, there appears to be no sufficient ground for seizure, everything that has been removed is to be replaced as quickly as possible, and carefully restored to its original state and condition; and the vessel is to be permitted to pursue her course without delay. 16. In the case mentioned in the preceding article, before the officer quits the vessel, he is to ask the master whether he has any complaint to make of the manner in which the search has been conducted, or on any other ground ; if the master should have any complaint to make, the officer is to request him to specify the parti culars in writing, for your information, and you are to investigate the same most carefully, and to lose no time in applying such remedy as circumstances admit and the case may require. If you make the search in person, you will yourself follow the directions contained is this article. 17. In all cases where vessels are visited or Searched on suspicion of being engaged in the slave trade, the visiting officer, before quitting the vessel, is to offer to enter on her log a statement of proceedings on board ; and, in case the offer is accepted, he is to be careful to note down the exact time that elapsed from the time the vessel was boarded to the time she was liberated or seized. 18. When the visiting officer has verbally reported his proceedings to you, he is, in all cases, whether, the ves sel be seized or not, to commit the same to writiag im mediately, with all the particulars, while the facts are fresh in his memory ; and this written statement is to specify whether any complaint was made by the master or any other person on board the vessel. This statement is to be inserted in the log, with the officer's signature attached, and you will forward a copy of it, with your own remarks, to the senior officer of the station, and a duplicate thereof to the Admiralty by the first opportunity. 19. When yo - u have determined to detain a vessel, you will immediately notify your intention to her master ; you will cause a careful search to be made for all papers and documents on board ; and will take possession of the same, causing them to be numbered and described in a list which you will sign. In this list the papers volun tarily delivered up must be distinguished from any that may have been . concealed. If any should have been de stroyed or thrown overboard, the nature of the papers, so far as it may be known, with the circumstances under which they were made away with, must be carefully stated at the bottom of the list ; and some person cog nizant of the facts must be sent with the vessel to make affidavit thereof to the court of adjudication. 20. On the detention of a vessel you will have a note made of the quantity of money or other valuables on board, and sign the same, and have that note duly wit nessed, to be produced upon the trial of the case ; arid you will take especial care that the articles are deposited in safe custody. 21. Whatever arrangement may be made for the dis posal of the crew of a captured vessel, the master and two persons at least of her crew must be sent, together with the vessel, to be produced before the court, as ne •cessary witnesses in every case. ' And one of those per sons should be the chief mate, supercargo, or boatswain. 22. If you do not yourself accompany the detained ves sel for trial, you will give the officer in charge directions in writing for his conduct during the voyage. 23. You will place under the command of the officer sent in charge a crew sufficient for the vessel's safe con duct, with provisions for the voyage ; and you will give the officer strict orders for the preservation of the ship, her cargo, and everything on board, and for the preven don of embezzlement, excess, or irregularity of any sort. 24. You will deliver to the officer sent in charge all the papers found on board, together with the other necessary documents, and the officer must be careful to keep them in safe custody during the voyage. You will also in struet him to endeavour to obtain, by every proper means, additional information as to the case ; and if he succeeds in finding any additional papers or documents, he is to preserve them carefully to be produced at the trial. 25. The officer in charge, as soon as possible after he has gone on board the vessel, is to draw up, with the assistance of the master, an inventory of the stores, fur niture, and also of the cargo of the vessel, so far as it can be ascertained without disturbing the stowage ; and, should it be practicable, the cargo is to be secured by sealing down the hatches. The inventory is to be made out in duplicate, and signed both by the officer in charge and the master of the vessel ; and one of these docu ments is to be retained by the officer, and the other by the master. 26. If slaves should be on board, every effort is to be made to alleviate their sufferings and improve their con dition, by a careful attention to cleanliness and ventila tion, by separating the sickly from those who are in good health, by encouraging the slaves to feel confidence in her Majesty's officers and men, and promoting amongst them cheerfulness and exercise. 27. The officer in charge of a captured slave-ship will be warranted in landing the slaves, or transferring them to other vessels, whenever such measures are absolutely necessary, but not otherwise ; and in such cases a cer tificate of all the circumstances must be drawn out, and be taken with the vessel to the place of adjudication. I❑ most cases of seizure under treaty, this contingency is provided for: under some of the treaties, the slaves must be carried eventually to the port of adjudication. Reference on this, as on other points, must be had to the treaty or convention applicable to the case, and to the instructions thereon. 28. All British subjects found employed on board a detained British or foreign slave vessel are to be sent with two witnesses to a British port for trial as soon as possible. Foreigners on board a British slave vessel, or in a foreign slave vessel seized in British waters, are to be dealt with in the same manner as British subjects. Foreigners forming the crew of foreign vessels cap tured under treaty are to be dealt with according to the stipulations thereof. 29. The master and crew, or such part of them as may be left on board a detained slave-vessel, are to be well treated, and not to be subjected to further restraint than may be requisite for insuring the due execution of the • „ service intrusted to the officer in charge ; but it so , : necessary to guard against all attempts at re ca p t° ' wtu by open force or any other means. • 30. The officer in charge is to keep a log of his P r° Feedings from the time he goes on board until be is; lieved from his charge ; he is to note in his log anY 5, ceptible changes in the state, quantity, or posi:,ion f 4 cargo, and all accidents to the vessel or her riggink li their results. 31. In all cases of capture, a full and accurate acc° l : l of everything captured or destroyed, and of the dispo , of the same, is to be sent in, together with a report the case, by the officer in charge to the senior °dicer: the station, and a duplicate thereof to the Seeret' ar l the Admiralty, by the earliest opportunity. 32. If a vessel at the time of seizure, should be rtn l , l ` 4 shore and wrecked, or afterwards lost or abandos; the slaves, the stores, cargo, &c., that can be save d Ai A cr transported, are to be taken to the port of adjuuneo tion, together with the necessary witnesses. P ar e ti which may be found are to be carefully pro t b, and an affidavit of the facts must be made, as foundation of the proceedings before the court f ern ; of the case. When there are no slaves on boar d ' il l , equipments. or such parts thereof as are saved, Of e be carried to the port of adjudication, for the parr` e supplying evidence of the slave trading. ad 33. On arriving at the port of adjudication, the ° in charge is to make himself acquainted with the of proceeding in the court before which the vess hi, to be tried. In all cases it will be necessary fc' r to make an affidavit, verifying the papers brouglda court, and to annex the papers thereto. If anY s ' re have been destroyed or concealed, the particulars 30 be stated in that affidavit. In cases of ca pturclo treaty, the instructions thereon mist be rel e o to for the forms of documents and course of proc e ; at the port of adjudication. In other cases, the ol va ti• as to ships' papers should be drawn up in the fool s fi d ing as an appendix to this section, unless there bh yid be a different form prescribed by the court before the vessel is adjudicated. are ,PLI4 34. If, upon 'any occasion of capture, there , any papers foind on board, an affidavit to that effect be the ground of the proceedings. o 0 35. On delivering over the vessel to the pens h oi thorised by the Court to receive her, the officer i n C OY is to produce the inventory drawn up by himself o °d master ; and he is to request that a receipt Ole given for all the articles contained in the inventory' cepting of course where any deficiencies may BPl and where this is the case, he will report the hi ,f thereof to the court, and to his commander, on turn to the ship. 36. The officer sent in charge will give his b egt sistance in every way, where called upon, to the for the due adjudication of the case of the ros e ' her cargo, if any ; and, upon judgment being gi" l3 _4l immediately report in writing to the officer under lir he is serving his proceedings and the judgment (°. ti court, and vtill send a duplicate of that report tu Admiralty by the first opportunity. 8 4S Given under our hands, this 12th day of June.
