;~, d ."~.' ... T RAILWAY PASSENGERS ASSU RANCE COMPANY. The fourth half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this company took place yesterday at the offices, 3, Old Broad-street. The chair was taken by the Chairman of the company, John Dean Paul, Esq. The SECRETARY (Mr. A. Beattie) then read the report, from which it appears that the receipts for the half-year amount to 3,155/. 15e. 9d., and exhibit a growing progress when compared with those of any previous six months since the formation of the company. The tickets of the company may now be obtained at the principal stations on fifty railways, and the number of agents at stations and in towns amounted to 874 on the 30th June last. 2,0681.85. 63. has been paid . as compensation during the last six months, and the entire number of claims adjusted from the period of the commencement of the company up to this date is two fatal cases, and ninety-nine cases of personal injury. The gross receipts for the weeks since 30th June, as compared with the corresponding weeks of last year, show an extraordinary increase, which is most strikingly evinced in the issue of sin gle journey tickets. Thus, for the week ending August 17th last the gross receipts were 131/. 7s. 7d. against 74/. ss. 10d., whilst the issue of single jour ney tickets amounted to 761. 153. Id. against 211. Os. 10d. IVith one leading company, the Lancashire and Yorkshire, the company has just concluded an ar rangement for the insurance of 1,355 of their men, and there are other companies now in communication with the directors on the same subject. The terms on which these insurances have been effected are as follow :- Class 1. Engine drivers... 265. 6d. per ann., to insure 60/. 1, 2. Guards, stokers, breaksmen, 193. 63. „ a 3. Porters,policemen, gatekeepers, &c. 59. 3d. „ „ 401. In case of fatal accident, with a weekly allowance in each case for personal injury. The business has been so much extended during the past six months as to render it necessary to make a call of ss. per share on the proprietors-the reasons for this call have been stated in the circular an nouncing it, and the directors have oniy to say that they do not anticipate any necessity for a further call being made hereafter. In the statement of the half-year's accounts it was mentioned that the whole amount, viz., 2,068/. Bs. 6d. paid as com pensation during the last half-year had been charged to revenue, and that of this sum 1,425/. was on ac count of accidents to the Post-office and railway ser vices, which hazardous description of business had been undertaken before the experience of the com pany had enabled the directors to frame calcula tions of a more correct nature than the imperfect statistical data of the reports of the Board of Trade had suggested ; and as such risks (at the rates pre viously charged) terminate with the current policies, this degree of loss cannot occur again. The direc tors therefore leave it to the proprietors to say whether the sum of 1,4251. should be charged to the preliminary expenses in the capital account, and scattered like those expenses over a period of years, instead of being charged en the revenue of the last six months alone. If this is done, the charges for work ing expenses and compensation f o r th e l as t s i x months Ail be 2,438/. 7s. 11., leaving a balance over the gross receipts of 7171. Bs. 7d. They are not, how ever, prepared to recommend the division of the balance of 717/. Bs. 7d. that would thus remain to the credit of revenue account on the 30th June; for the unadjusted claims, and the propriety of having a re serve to meet possible claims in the approaching winter mouths, induces them to believe that the proprietors will not desire the division of any portion of this balance till the working of the company has been more developed. The CHAIRMAN then offered a few observations on the present circumstances of the company. He dwelt on the large amount of claims for compensation al ready made and adjusted, and which prove how widely this novel application of the principles of life assurance is already appreciated by the public. In the infancy of the scheme the directors had to pro ceed on very imperfect and deceptive data, but they are now enabled, from the lessons of practical expe rience, to attain a precision in their calculations, which will enable them to extend the sphere of their operations with security and profit. Their pro spects are in a highly satisfactory state of progres sion, as manifested by the great and steady increase of business which appears on the face of the report presented. Although this company was originally started as a commercial speculation, still it must be highly gratifying to the feelings of its members to reflect on the vast benefits which con tinually arise from the compensation afforded by it to those persons of slender means who are so unfortu nate as to meet-with accidents on railways.-(Hear, hear.) After commenting on the different para graphs of the report, the chairman concluded by mov ing its adoption. Mr. FRITH seconded the motion. He said the only .feature connected with it to be regretted was the re fusal of three great railways-the London and South- Western, the London, Brighton, and South Coast, and the South-Eastern, to allow insurance tickets to be issued on their lines, whilst all the other principal railways of England, Scotland, and Ireland have readily facilitated the objects of the company. The other statements contained in the report he regarded as highly satisfactory. Mr. LEE STEVENS said he did not intend moving any amendment to the motion, but he could not con cede the merit of administrative talent to the board, with the exception of the chairman himself, who was worthy of all confidence and praise. He regretted to find the chairman supported to-day by but two di rectors out of nine, and the number of shareholders present scarcely exceeding that of the representatives of the press who were in attendance. The CHAIRMAN said he must call the Hon. Pro prietor to order for indulging in irrelevant remarks. Domestic affliction and personal illness accounted for the absence of several of the hoard. Mr. STEVENS again attempted to enlarge on these topics, but a general expression of impatience caused him to shift his ground to the consideration of other alleged grievances. He launched into the expression of innumerable regrets, which merely seemed to in duce a belief among the other shareholders present that he was, for some unknown object, speaking against time. He persevered for some minutes amid continual interruption, but finally sat down without making any substantive motion. The report was then unanimously adopted. Mr. CAnY moved that the sum of 1,425/. should he charged to the preliminary expenses as recommended in the report, which being seconded by Mr. Stone, passed without a dissentient voice. Cordial and unanimous thanks were then severally voted to the directors, the Chairman, and the Secre tary, and duly acknowledged. The proceedings then terminated. „ 501. THE PRINCE DE JOINVILLE, LOUIS NA POLEON BONAPARTE, AND THE PRESI DENCY OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. (From the Journal des Debats.) - By the side of the journals busied with what is called the candidateship of the Prince de Joinville, to connect with it hopes of more or less Prompt re alisation, there are others which speak of it for the purpose of joining calumnies to the Prince's name; it is to these only that we desire to reply. Of the candidateship of the Prince de Joinville we shall not say anything. We comprehend all the noise which is nude round that respected name. We are aware of the passions, the pretensions, the good or bad, the patriotic or personal inspirations which have con ceived the idea of that candidateship. We are aware of the proceedings which have been resorted to formerly and recently for that purpose. We know also that no decision has been come toe and we are glad to perceive in that adroit temporisation some traces of the wisdom which governed France for eighteen years. That candidateship is , perhaps, in this age of the unexpected, amongst the decrees which Providence may issue to save our country. It may be, at some given moment, in the midst of great embarrassment and danger, the sole chance of safety that will remain to us. Yes, that is possible. There would be too much pride, after so many humi liations lavished on us by destiny for the last four years, to set aside one of the serious chances which fortune may offer us. There would be too much false virtue in responding by the inflexibility of a principle to the cry of necessity, to oppose the pre t.rended dignity of a name to the safety of a people. face of a national wish sincerely expressed—in face of a great publi c p e ril, clear as the light of day, the Princ e Joinville would not have any choice to make; he would not hesitate, we are convinced. But all th a t ip the future, is the unknown. Let us speak of the present. The future, the problema tical future, is the candidateship of the Prince de Joinville; the present is the calumny which is flung on his name. It is said th a t this hope of some poli tical men, received by the Prince, we can affirm, with the discreet moderation which hi s p os iti on ca ll s for, is in reality oa his p ar t a means of division in the party of order, and a premeditated attempt to trouble the State.' It is said that rather than leave ca ( n e i23 Joinville, are a to others the honour o f savin g the vessel, he would blow it up ! And it is to the Prince m calumnies 1 and in such language, that dressed! To that son of Kin g Louis P hilippe, who in all difficult or dangerous p ositions alwa ys bore so high the flag of France 1 To him, who bringing back from St. Helena the mortal remains of Napo leon, menaced to blow himself up rather than be tray, with the precious deposit entrusted to him, the honour of the French name! And it is the writers, devoted to the defenoe of the Elysee who have so little memory and so little justice! The Prince de Joinville had in 1848, at the moment when the news of the catastrophe which overturned • the throne of his father, reached him in Africa, an unexampled opportunity of troubling the State. He could h ave returne d • to France, and attempted a ; civil war. Wilt) would venture to •isay that, appear.. _ w --- ~ - THE SUN, ing all of a sudden in the midst of the fleet at Tou lon, escorted by some battalions brought back from Algeria, the young conqueror of I'logador and St. Jean d'Ulloa would not have found there numerous parti sans ? Wasit courage which was wanting to him ? Was it popularity ? Was it good right ? Why then did he proceed with stoical resignation to a land of exile ? Because his patriotism silenced the dictates of his youth and of his courage ; because in the frightful disorder into which the insurrection of Pa ris had thrown France, when the minister of the Go vernment then existing, such as it was, wrote to him praying for his abstention, in the name of public safety, he would not consent to be a cause of disorder, added to so many others. They who in other times attacked twice in full peace, in the name of I know not what imperial legitimacy, the existing Government (we admit that they honourably re pented of such conduct afterwards), were they more patriotic than the Prince de Joinville ? That is a question which we take the liberty of addressing to the Constilutionnel. But let us suppose, a fact which is far from being proved to us, let us suppose that the candidateship of the Prince de Joinville was openly avowed by him, and frankly supported by a considerable faction of the party of order. In what, we ask, is that candidateship more calculated ‘to trouble the State' than that of any other which may be avowed, that of General Changarnier, or of Gen. Cavaignac, or that of M. Carnot ? Either there must be only one candidateship permitted (that which the Constitution interdicts, or it must b e admitted that a person may be a candidate to the pla ce of President, in competition with that privileg ed candidateship, without being an anarchist, a factious man, and a cri minal citizen. And what if we were to say that the candidateship which troubles th e State, which divides the party of order, which holds suspended over the country the formidable problem of the un known, was precisely t hat which the journal to which we reply , supports, , in contempt of the constitutional law ? edo not say so, through respect for universal suffrage, which on some given day, we admit, may have the advantage over the Constitution itself ; but whilst waiting for that day, is it not true that the Constitution ought to be observed? It was framed against us, but is it•we who give the example of disobeying it ? And they who cry up a candidateship which the law of the country declares to be unconstitutional, who have flung into the midst of our embarrassments and our perils that terri▪ ble difficulty, who every day call the national sovereignty to this double trial, once more we ask, are they acti▪ ng well thus to come and lavish abuse on the august exiles who wait, without asking anything, and without violating any law, until the will of the country shall have been pronounced ? Our repug nance to treat such questions before the hour of ne cessity is well known, and consequently it is with great regret that we have entered on this matter; but we will not recoil from the task which lies before us. We wish for the Prince de Joinville a totally different destiny than that which the zeal of his friends, or the previsions, more or less enlightened, of his partizans, prepare for him. We wish it to him, not for his honour of prince, since we believe that a great public necessity may, on any given day, counsel for him a sacrifice which would not cost his dignity anything, but we wish it to him for his happiness. But should the Prince de Joinville be induced by the sentiment of a great duty to descend seriously into the lists in which, before long, will be con tested the destinies of France, there is one thing of which we are sure—that the Prince de Joinville would not accept a political candidateship in order to divide the party of order, but to unite and rally it; not to trouble the State, but to restore to it security and repose; not to blow up the vessel, but to extin- Quish the fire. It is only in this way that a son of King Louis Philippe could remain faithful to the patriotic reminiscences and liberal traditions of his family." GERMANY. The National Gazette cf Berlin, of the 30i.h ult., says :—" We learn that the vessels and the materiel of the German fleet will be equally divided between Prussia and Austria, and will from let January next cease to belong to the Germanic Confederation. In order to indemnify the States who have contributed to the formation and support of the fleet, Prussia and Austria will in their place pay their parts of the general expenses. In consequence of the shores possessed by Hanover, sho is allowed to have a certain part of the materiel, on paying a certain indemnity for the same. Until the commence ment of next year the expenses will be pro vided for by means of payments by the different States to be decided on. The Germanic Diet has examined the question whether the laws now in vigour are sufficient, in case of need, to protect the Confederation and the separate States of Germany from criminal attempts. We learn it will shortly adopt a resolution on that point. It will probably limit itself to an interpretation of the resolutions now in vigour. The Commission the Diet has appointed to examine the questions relating to the liberty of the press has finished its labours. The report is ready, and will, it is said, be soon presented to the Assembly." The bitelligenz-Blatt of Frankfort states that the Germanic Diet, in one of its late sittings, adopted a resolution to the effect that the fundamental rights of the German people are abolished, and that the different Governments have been requested to promulgate this decision as promptly as possible. Inspector Pascoe said—l took this charge. The defendant was brought to the station by two private persons and a policeman, and the moment he got in he called us all the -- vagabonds he could lay his tongue to, mentioned Colonel Rowan's name, and !threatened to have the whole of us dismissed in a week. Ile was decidedly drunk, and smelt strongly of lielleor, but I sent for his carriage for him, and ha denied Otat he had fallen from his horse at all. He then called me a vagabond, struck me a slight blow on the breast, and stamped about the station house in such a violent manner that I was obliged to order him to be locked up. Knowing the defendant to be a very respectable person I scarcely allowed three minutes to elapse after he had been brought to the station before I dispatched a cabman to fetch his coachman. Maverty, 213 N, said—At the time in question I was leaving the station-house, when I saw two gentle men struggling with the defendant, and declaring that he was drunk, and had just fallen helplessly from his horse. I saw that he was drunk, and heard him swearing at them for stopping him. I assisted him into the station, where a chair was placed for him to sit upon, and we made him do so, and closed the door ; but he got out of the chair, got to the door, and tried to shove me away. I took him back and again placed him in the chair, but he commenced struggling very violently, and kicked me upon the shins. He made several other efforts of the same de scription, calling us all "A -- set of vagabonds" and on the inspector requesting him to be quiet, he ex claimed, " And pray who are you, you -- scoun drel ; some beggarly tailor, I suppose ?" Sergeant Saunders also spoke to the state the de fendant was in ; that he was not only positively drunk, but that his breath smelt very strongly of spirits, and added—l also tried to seat him in a chair, but he pushed me away several times, and began kicking at I us with his heels, which had a pair of spurs on, and r asked to have them taken off, as I was fearful he w ould do some of the officers a serious injury. The inspector went to speak to him, but he was very vio lent in his language, and struck him on the chest ; but the inspector, notwithstanding, on learning his address, dis,teatched a message to his house for his friends. The charge was at length taken, and he was allowed to reman in the room, but he rolled about and conducted himeelf in such a violent and outrage ous manner that we were compelled at length to lock him up and place a constable in the cell also to take care of him. About four o'clock, however, he became more sober, and he was then allowed to go in the care of his groom, his own recegnizances having been ac cepted for his future appearance. When asked if be wished to say anything, the de fcendant, with great vehemence of language and man ner, totally denied that there was any foundation whatover for the charge, and declared that the indi cations of intoxication which presented themselves to the witnesses were occasioned by a previous acci dental fell !rom his horse, which produced a concus sion of the head, and obliged him at times to adopt a recumbent position when on horseback. He also declared that he heg partaken of no intoxicating be verage whatever on that day, and complained severely of the treatment he had experienced from the police at the station, who coerced him in every possible way, and treated him like a beast or mad dog. He added that there were at least half-a-dozen gentle men waiting outside the station to give evidence in his favour, but that the police had refused access to them. In partial corroboration of his statement, he called James Hicks, his coachman and groom, who described his master as " Squire Johnson," and said —My master left home on Monday about two o'clock, and I gave him his horse. I saw no difference in his general appearance; his manner was the same as usual. After he had ridden off I saw no more of him until he was at the station, when he was " pretty middling excited." He uttered some words at the station, hut I don't recollect what, as my memory is bad and he speaks quickly. The defendant sometimes sits very much back in the saddle, but I never knew him to fall off before. Inspector Pascoe and the witnesses declared that there was no foundation whatever for the defendant's assertion that gentlemen who were willing to speak on his behalf had been kept out of the station, and requested, as an act of justice to the police, that two respectable and impartial tradesmen, who had wit nessed the transaction, might be sent for. Sum monses were therefore issued for the attendance of those persons, and the case was put back till a late hour in the afternoon, when Mr. Wm. Dodge, an undertaker in Myrtle-street, stated—About two o'clock on Monday I was coming out of my door, when I saw the defendant riding past my house. He was on horseback, lying flat upon his hack on the back of the horse, and his bead was very nearly touching the tail. 1 watched him for some time, as I was alarmed at the manner in which he was riding, and pointed him out to a police constable, thinking he was it, a fit. I went to the side of the horse, shook defendant by the leg, and roused him op, and asked him to sit up, which he managed to do for a moment, but as soon as the horse moved he fell back again. I followed him to the corner of Robert street, he being still in the same recumbent position, but on reaching . there I saw him tall from the offside of his horse. I ran to his assistance to help him up, and then I saw that he was thoroughly drunk. I helped the policeman to take him to the station, for fear some accident should happen to him, but when he got there he turned obstinate, tried to get out, and abused them all scandalously. Great praise was due to the police for their forbearance to the defendant, who said nothing about any previous fall, while the fall that I saw him sustain was a very heavy one. Mr. Daniel Reid, a master baker, confirmed the last witness in almost identical terms, and, on cross-exa mination by the defendant, said. " You were on the horse's back just like a tumbler in a circus, with a lot of boys round, shouting and laughing at you. When you fell oft, I assisted you up, and I found that your breath smelt strongly of liquor." Mr. Memel. said that he could not but place the most implicit reliance upon the testimony of those witnesses, which went fully to prove to him that the charge had been completely made out, and he felt bound to say that the defendant had acted with ex treme impropriety, and that his conduct had been most degrading to •,a gentleman. He had no hesita tion, therefore, under such circumstances, in sending the defendant to the House of Correction for seven days for assaulting the officer in the execution of his duty, and also sentence him to a further term of seven days for his indecent and outrageous conduct while in the station-house. The defendant looked astounded at the decision, and was apparently about to offer some observation, but was at once removed by the gaoler. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBE R 4, 1851. ITALY. The _Milan Gazette of the 28th ult., announces that the brigadier of carabineers, who, in 1849, ar rested Ugo Bassi (the priest who acted as chaplain to Garribaldi's troops, and was shot by the Austrians), has been assassinated at Camacchio. The Tuscan Monitore publishes a series of regula tions issued by the Minister of Worship at Florence on the 28th ult., concerning the right of censorship reserved to the bishops by the new concordat. By these regulations, every bishop has the right of cen sorship over ecclesiastical works to be published within his diocese ; a work rejected by one bishop cannot be approved by another, and there is no appeal from the decision of a bishop in such matters. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) 111ArtcnEsTEE, TIIESMIY.—We have again to re port a somewhat inanimate state of things in our market, owing partly, so far as goods are concerned, to the degree in which some descriptions are en gaged; while it is traceable, to a much greater extent, to the same cause, so far as relates to yarns. But the requirement of rather higher prices, which was made last week, is also found to have something to do with this quietness, standing in the way of business between parties ho have orders to give out, on the one hand, and such as are open to receive them, on the other. Considering how remarkably bare of supply the yarn market is, and how free from stock that of goods continues to be, while the actual demand is still good, and the prospect for the future encouraging, it is remarkable how slow and difficult is the upward course in prices. A settled cautiousness marks the conduct of all parties, at present, keeping down the spirit of speculation amongst buyers, and moderating the demands of producers. These features, taken in connexion with the general state of commerce, are very justly regarded as evidences of the safe and healthy condition of the trade of this district ; and the pre veiling desire is that it should not be disturbed by any forced action upon prices. It is, therefore, seen with satisfaction, on our Exchange, that there is that sort of hitting in Liv e rp oo l whi c h naturally f o llows an undue advance. The articles least in demand, in our markets, are perhaps Indian descriptions of yarns and goods; yet, although comparatively dull, they are steady as re gards value. Fine yarns are also quiet. In 30's reeled water, there is rather a hardening in price, while a decided firmness is maintained in the lower counts, and a general steadiness in warps and cops. The latter remark applies also to printing cloths, and to the stouter makes of cloth, taken at large. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—After a long absence of demand for goods, the expectations of our manufac turers have been somewhat revived by the presence of several influential buyers, who have operated to an ex teat sufficient to warrant the conclusion that a resump tion of activity will ahortiy take place. The thrown silk market does not exhibit any material signs of improvement; and considering its past unsatisfactory state, it is a matter for congratulation with the trade that prices retain their firmness. In raw silk the late activity displayed by con sumers in the purchase of chinas has for the p resen t cons id e rably subsided, and in the meantime the deliveries for the mills continue satisfactory. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a dull, heavy market, and a rather limited amount of business has been transacted. For kerseys and coarse goods the manufacturers are asking more money, in order to meet the extra price asked for low-priced wools. The wool market has been slack, and price s h ave been much the same as last week's. HALIFAX, SATURDAY. — The attendance in our piece hall to-day has been but slender; and scarcely any goods have changed hands, except a few lastings, both of the lower and the finer qualities. Yarns are still in a greatly depressed state, and the present un satisfactory quotations are with difficulty maintained. The sales of wool are moderate, as the spinners buy only for present use, and prices have undergone no alteration. LEEns, TUESDAY.—The markets at the cloth halls have been fiat both to .day and on Saturday last, and there is n o t much doing to order. Business is dull in the warehouses, considering the season of the year. LANDLORD AND TENANT.—According to a new Act the tenant of a farm may remove the buildings and fix tures erected by him on farms, unless the landlord should elect to take them. The g row i ng crops seized and sold under an execution for debt are, nevertheless, to be liable for the accruing rent. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 3. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) IN BE ELLIS. This was the last examination of the bankrupt, de scribed as an ironmon4er, of Rotherhithe-wall, but in consequence of inaccuracies in the balance-sheet an adjournment was asked for.—Adjournment ordered. IN EE WARREN. This was the last examination of the bankrupt, de scribed as a miller, of Ardleigh, Essex. The accounts, from December, 1849, to July, 1851, show the fol lowing :—Surpltr.s in December, 1849, 2,3241.; cre ditors unsecured, .973/. ; liabilities, 597/. ; mortgages and interest, 4,553. 1 . ; rent of mill held on lease, ma chinery therein mortgaged to Nunn and Co., 176/. ; profits, 1,790/. ; debtors good, 469/. ; doubtful, 334/. ; property given up to assignees, estimated to realize 103/. ; property held by creditors, estimated value, 4,4711. ; losses, 1,3811, ; trade expenses, 2,2261.; household expenses, 143/. ; liabilities, per contra, 5971. Mr. Barnes, of Colchester, appeared for the assig nees, and Mr. Norton for Ddessrs. Nunn and Co., bankers. Mr. Nunn, of the firm of I\ r unn and Co., bankers, Manningtree, in his examination, said the bankrupt was indebted to their firm in the sum of 2,107/, in April, 1851. Had, on the 15th of April, refused to cash the cheques of the bankrupt. Went on the 18th of April to the bankrupt's house, at Ardleigh, with two deeds. Did not press the bankrupt to give those securities. Refused to cash the cheques because the account was overdrawn. Did not insist upon bank rupt giving security upon his property, °filly' that spe cified in bill of sale. The bankrupt had o , 4 her pro perty besides that specified in bill of sale, such as book debts, consignments of flour, and a legacy from a re lative. The bankrupt had paid into the bank subse quent to the Ifith of April about 1,5001., as near as possible; the same sum had been paid out. IN RE DEELEY. This was the last examination of George Edwin Deeley, of Brunswick-terrace, Dover-road, iron founder. The accounts, from December, 1847, to July, 1851, show the following :—Creditors, 877/. ; ditto, holding security, 132/. ; debtors, good and doubtful, 5551. ; property, 621. Mr. LINKLATER supported the bankrupt, who passed without opposition. ROYAL COURT, JERSEY, Aug. 27. (From the Jersey Sun.) (Before the Bailiff, and Judges Bisson, Bertram, Le Couteur, Picot, Pelgue, Le Gallais, Arthur, Le Quesne, and De Quetteville.) Jacques Fouquet, who was found guilty on Friday the 22d of August, by the petty jury of St. Helier, of the crime of murder on the person of Frederick W. Derbyshire, on the 11th of April last, appeared this day before the Grande Enquke of the island, to which he bad appealed from the verdict of the petty jury. The grand jury was composed of twenty-four principaux of the parishes of St Helier, St. Saviour, and St. Lawrence, and was presided over by Mr. Francis Bertram, son of Eliss, of the first named parish. The reading of the evidence and other documents concerning the case occupied the Court until two o'clock. Shortly afterwards Mr. Advocate MARETT ad dressed the jury in a most eloquent and impressive speech, which lasted an hour and five minutes. Our limited space will not permit us to reproduce the ad dress of the Learned Advocate ; it must suffice for us to say that Mr. Maret't; made use of powerful argu ments to induce the jury to set aside the grounds of premeditation of the act with which his client was charged. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL also addressed the jury for upwards of an hour with his wonted ability and eloquence. He argued that the premeditation had been ciearly and substantially proved_by the evidence of the witnesses for the prosecution. The BAILIFF made a very impartial and lucid sum ming up of the debate. At a quarter before five o'clock the jury withdrew to deliberate ; and after an absence of twenty-five minutes the foreman of the jury stated that the jury were divided in their opinion. Every member then advanced to the Bailiff, and communicated their re• spective opinion. The BAILIFF, amid the most profound silence, then announced to the prisoner that a more than sufficient number (21 out of 24, it was understood) of the jury found him " Guilty of the crime of murder on the person of Frederick William Derbyshire." The Advocate MARETT—I Will ask the Attorney- General what are his conclusions ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—The Grand Enquete having found the prisoner guilty of the crime of mur der, I have no other alternative, however painful to me, than to conclude that the prisoner, as a punish ment for his crime, be condemned to be taken to the place of execution, with a halter round his neck, and there be strangled and hanged until death ensues, and that all his goods and chattels, if he have any, be con fiscated to her Majesty, or the lord of the manor, or to whomsoever they shall appertain—the whole sav ing her Majesty's pardon. Mr. Advocate .MARETT—I had hoped _that my feeble efforts would have been successful in causing the jury to set aside the premeditation of the crime ; but since it has been otherwise, I hope the Court will take this fact into consideration, that neither of the juries were unanimous, and for this reason I hope the Court will modify the conclusions of the Crown officer, and thereby avoid the horrid and sad spectacle of a public execution, which, fortunately, has been of very rare occurrence of late years. If the prisoner were sentenced to transportation beyond the seas for the term of his natural life it would be a sufficient punishment, and would give him an opportunity of seeking mercy at the throne of his Maker, whom he has offended. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL having persisted in his conclusions, The BAILIFF consulted the Judges on the bench, who (with the sole exception of Judge Picot, who was of opinion that the sentence should be transpor tation for life) granted the conclusions of the Crown officer. The Bailiff and Judges having placed their hats on their heads, The BAILIFF addressed the prisoner as follows; having previously ordered him to go on his knees : " Jacques Pouquet, after a long and patient inves tigation, you have been successively found guilty by two juries of the most heinous crime with which man can be charged. Mr. Marett, your advocate, has exhausted all the means which his zeal, experience, and talent could suggest for your defence; and if he has failed, it is to be attributed to the clear ness of the evidence brought against you • and in such a case the law visits the crime of w hi c h you hare been found guilty with the punishment of death. The Court, in conformity with the conclusions of the Attorney-General, sentences you to be led to the place of execution with a halter round your neck, and there to be hanged and strangled until death doth ensue, and that all your goods and chattels, if you have any, be confiscated to her Majesty, or the lord of the manor, or to whomsoever they shall appertain, the whole saving her Majesty's pardon; which sentence the Viscount is to see carried into execution, and the execution of the sentence is delayed for the term of three weeks, and in the meantime you are sent back to gaol. During the short time you have to pass in this world, I would entreat you most earnestly to profit by this time to seek mercy at the throne of the Almighty, by imploring his forgiveness for the great crime you have rendered yourself guilty of—and may God, in his infinite goodness and mercy, have pity on your soul !" The prisoner rose and addressed a few words to his advocate, which words did not reach us. He appeared indifferent to the awful scene which had just passed, and in which he was the principal actor. He walked back to the prison van with a firm and unconcerned step. The Court rose at six o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. IVORSIIIP-STREET. William Johnson, as the name WAS entered on the charge-sheet, an elderly person of military appearance, who described himself as having been a cavalry officer, was stated to be a director of one of the most import taut mercantile companies in the City, and is known to be a gentleman of extensive property at Stoke Newington, was placed before Mr. Hammill upon the threefold charge of being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself, assaulting an officer in the execution of his duty, and conducting himself in a riotous and improper manner while in custody at the station-house. William Fitzpatrick, 203 N—About two o'clock on last Monday afternoon I was on duty in °Myrtle street, Hoxton, when I saw the defendant on horse back, riding towards Hoxton Church. He was riding in a most peculiar position, his head and shoulders leaning back in such a manner that his head nearly touched the animal's tail. He was decidedly drunk, and had not the slightest control over his horse. A. man who knew the defendant stopped the horse, and, addressing the defendant, said, " Sir, I think you had better stop and recover yourself," and I also advised him to do so. The defendant, however, by that time had raised himself upright, and went on, but very soon got into the same dangerous position again, and I therefore ran forward to take him into custody, but before I could do so he fell clear off his horse, but still held tight by the reins. I sprang forward to hold the h o r se , w hil e some other person raised the defendant up, and I then took him to the station in Robert-street; but as soon as he got there he called the inspector and sergeant on duty a set of scamps, poltroong, and beggars, and, having tried to force his way out of the station, struck me on my breast, but not with such severity as to hurt me. He then ex claimed that he was acquainted with Colonel Rowan, who also knew him, and that he would have the whole of us dismissed and trounce us. CLERKEIV WELL . Christopher Kayton, a shabby-looking fellow, who was described in the police-sheet as a chaser, re siding at 2, Margaret-place, Margaret-street, Clerk enwell, was put at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncourt, charged with having wilfully set fire to his house. It appeared from the evidence of Archer and Fisher, officers of the G division, that about twelve o'clock on Tuesday night their attention was at tracted by loud cries of "Fire" in Margaret-street, and on proceeding to the prisoner's house, 2, Mar garet-place, they found smoke and flames issuing from the windows, and the neighbourhood in the greatest alarm and confusion. They burst into the house, and on entering the parlour they discovered the prisoner sitting coolly at a table, partaking of bread and cheese and table beer, while the bed and parts of the house were burning. The floor was covered with lucifer matches, which had evidently been placed there in order to increase the flames. Engines arrived on the spot in about a quarter of an hour after the discovery of the fire, and the flames were extinguished. The prisoner said it was his own house, he set fire to it to kill the bugs, and he had a right to do so. Mr. John Hough, of 3, Margaret-place, was awoke out of his sleep by the alarm of " Fire." He confirmed the testimony of the officers. The prisoner in his defence repeated that he set fire to the house to kill the bugs. He was remanded for a week. A miserable elderly man, who gave his name John Leach, was supported into the bar in a weakly state, charged with having attempted to commit suicide. A police constable of the N division said that at an early hour yesterday morning he was on duty in Maynard-street, Hornsey, when his attention was attracted by deep groans in an unoccupied house, on entering which he found the prisoner lying in a pool of blood, unable to speak. With assistance he took him to the station-house, where, on being examined, a deep wound was found in his arm, from which he bled profusely, and he became quite insensible. A surgeon was sent for, who dressed the wound, and every proper attention was afforded him until brought to this court. He would not give any account of himself. On searching him a penknife was found in his pocket covered with blood, and on being restored to his senses he was much affected, and said he had inflicted the wound with the penknife. Mr. D'EYNCOURT inquired as to the cause of such rash conduct ? Prisoner (crying)—l did it to get rid of my troubles. lam tired of my life. Mr. D'EYNCOURT—Have you got friends ? Pri soner—l have not; I have only casual acquaintances. Mr. D ' EYNCOURT—When did you last sleep in a bed ? Prisoner—Some weeks ago, in Highgate. Mr. D'EYNCOUBT ordered that he should b e pro vided imm e di a t e l y w ith p ro p e r no urishment and taken to the Roy a l F ree H os pit a l, with a request that they might receive him under their care. The unfortunate man was then supported out of court in a m os t d e pl ora ble state, and in the course of the day the constable reported to the Bench that he had taken the prisoner to the hospital, where he was received. Beadon to answer to a summons for having, contrary to the 120th section of the Act incorporating- the Great Western Railway Company, " caus',:d to be sent by the railway of the said company certain goods of a dangerous quality, to wit, lucifer matches, with out distinctly marking or stating the nature of such goods on the outside of the package containing tho same, or otherwise giving notice in writing to the bookkeeper or other servant of the said company with whom the same were left." Mr. Dre we, manager of the goods traffic depart ment of the company, attended in support of the summons. The defendant stated that the casks were received by him from Messrs. Warren, Russell, and Co., blacking manufacturers, Strand, who he thought were the responsible parties. He further observed that some weeks ago he detected in a cask from the same firm a quantity of lucifer matches. Since he had the summons served upon him he had seen Mr. Warren, who informed him that he employed a man to manage his business, and that he was not answer able for mixing the lucifer matches with the blacking. Mr. BEADON observed that the defendant having had a previous knowledge of a similar circumstance ought to have exercised some caution, and to have made some inquiry 43 to the contents of the cask. Not having done so he must be responsible. Mr. Drewe said that the object in not stating that the casks contained lucifer matches was to avoid the rate of charge that would have been made. There were three rates of charges; the second was for luci fer matches, the highest being for gunpowder, which was 21. the ton. The defendant, in answer to the magistrate, ob served that the casks were to be forwarded to 24 tradesmen in different parts of Wales. Mr. BIAPON remarked that he thought the com pany ought to summon Messrs. Warren, as there ap peared to be a clear train of evidence against them ; and it was for the benefit of the company that they should do so. They were evidently liable to the pe nalties of the Act. In the present case he should in flict the full penalty. The defendant, who was fined 101. and 23. costs, stated that he should proceed against . Messrs. War ren for the recovery of the fine. Another summons was taken out against Mr. Iver son, which was previously heard, but after receiving the evidence Mr. Beadon remarked that it would be sufficient if he imposed merely a nominal fine. He was fined ls. and 2s. costs. HAMMERSMITH. Yesterday Mr. J. M Hird, agent, of 3, Creed lane, Upper 'Thames street, appeared before Mr. When made up in From what wh „ PLACES.

(From the Report of the Registrar-General.) The weekly reports have not been recently of the most favourable character. During five weeks that have run since July 25th, the deaths, except in one instance, have ranged above 1,000 • in the week end ing August 16, th e y range d a b ove 1,061, and in the week which ended last Saturday they again rose to the same number. The 1,061 deaths now returned indicate not only a high rate of mortality for London as compared with more open districts of the country, but an increased amount as measured by former ex perience in the metropolitan districts, at the same season of the year. In the corresponding week of 1849, when epidemic cholera had nearly attained its highest point, 2,796 deaths were registered in London ; but with that and another exception the deaths in the corresponding weeks of 1841.50 did not reach 1,000, and were generally under 900. Of the whole number of persons who died last week nearly one-half had not completed the fifth year of their existence. _ _ Of the whole number of deaths more than one-third are classed as caused by epidemic diseases, among which diarrhoea, cholera, and typhus predominate. This class, which numbered 314 in the previous week, has risen to 378 ; it includes small-pox, which was fatal in 1/ cases, measles, scarlatina, hooping.cough, which count respectively 18, 20, and 26, while 60 cases are due to typhus, remittent and other fevers, 174 to diarrhoea, 7 to dysentery, and 28 to cholera. On the 25th of August, at 9, Speedy-place, Gray's Inn-lane, the son of a coach painter, aged 9 years, died of "typhus, after 14 days' illness." The medi cal attendant makes the following observations in con nexion with this case :—" There is a drain in Speedy place which runs under the floors and emits the most abominable and injurious stench. In the four houses, Nos. 6 to 10, there are several cases of very bad fever. I suggested to the landlord lime whiting and such other meaLures as were calculated to prevent the fur ther spread of the disease, but nothing has yet been done to relieve the occupiers." In a family at Upper Clapton, three children have died of "scarlatina enaligna ' within 7 days; and in another in Gibraltar-place, Hackney road, two have died within the same period of the same disease, while a third is dangerously ill. Diarrhoea appears to increase ; the following num ben, which comprise also fatal cases of dysentery, show its progress during the last six weeks :-85, 146, 146, 162, 143, and in the last week 181. A case of diarrhoea occurred to a child in Duddy's-rents, Cross street, Islington. The registrar remarks that " the sanitary arrangements of the 'rents' are defective in every particular." _ _ In the first three weeks of August the fatal cases of cholera were 16, 28, 19;* in the last week they again rose to 28. The following are the particulars of last week's cases : In Paddington, at 56, Westbourne-grove, on the 23d August, the son of a solicitor, aged 3 months, died of " cholera infantum (12 hours)."
