There were about 16,000 to 20,000 persons employed at the diggings, com prising all classes, from the ;polite professions to handicraftsmen, runaway policemen, and seamen from the shipping. Indeed, desertions from the latter were so numerous end frequent, that vessels were quitting for fear of similar desertions and the destruction of shipping as occurred at California, in consequence of whole crews flitting to the mines. At Sydney labour had advanced fifty per cent., but up to the above date accounts of the gold finding had not reached the sister settlements. The gold range of the Blue Mountains extended nearly 400 miles in length, and about 40 miles wide. On May 27, several gentlemen returned to Sydney who left that city ten days previous, for the purpose of ascertaining the exact nature of the recent gold discoveries. Mr. Ilindson and Mr. A. C. Brown (of the firm of Mart and Brown) conveyed to Sydney gold valued at 1,0001. This parcel included two lumps, one of which weighed forty-six ounces, and the other about twenty, nearly pure gold, having but small portions of quartz attached. The large specimen and the smaller one together with several pieces o f about one ounce each, were found in one hole, by a person named Henderson, residing in Bathurst. On May 24 a Bathurst blacksmith found eleven pounds weight in one hole. "Indeed," the Herald tritely observes, " there is no doubt that the creek in which the principal body of the miners is now employed is richer than any place that has been worked in California." From the same source we learn that the large pieces above noticed are found in a bed of slate, which forms a sort of chain across the Summerhill-creek at the place where it is joined by the Lewis Pond-creek. On this bar there is a thin bed of boulder stones and pebbles, and on re moving them a bed of mud a few inches thick is seen, which is cleared away and discovers the slate, which is in vertical layers ; and in the interstices between the layers of slate the Fold is found in lumps. The earth on the banks of the creek is found to contain scale-gold, which is obtained in the usual manner by washing the soil in cradles, which allows the gold to drop to the bottom as the soil is washed out—on the wh de, perhaps, a more profitable employment than seeking for lump gold. E very one competent from scientific and local knowledge to form an opinion expresses the belief that gold will he found in many other districts besides Bathurst, their geological features being the same. Indeed the Herald hints that already gold has been discovered at Lamb's. valley, near Maitland. THE LATE POISONINGS at WRINGTON. BRISTOL, SEPT. 18.—The adjourned inquest as to the cause of the death of the unfortunate women Sarah Ann Roberts and Caroline Birch was held yes. terday at the Red Lion, Wrington, by Mr. R. Uphill, coroner. The affair has created quite a sensation throughont the surrounding district. Mr. H. J. Ad dington, of Langford Court, the Rev. J. Vane, and Dr. Baker, magistrates, were present at the inquiry, which lasted the whole day. A mass of evidence was adduced, but the following analysis contains every thing relative to the point at issue : The inquiry was first gone into touching the death of Sarah Ann Roberts. The first witness called was Elizabeth Ridler, who deposed—l am a widow, living at Wrington. The deceased Sarah Ann Roberts is my daughter. She was a widow. On Friday the sth inst., I saw her between half-past 7 and 8 o'clock in the yard at the back of my house. She complained to me that she had been sick ; this was the evening. I said, " Sick, Sarah ?" and she said "Yes, but lam better." She was very commonly sick, and therefore I did not think much of it. She went away, and I was called afterwards to go to her a little before eleven o'clock. She was then at my son's house. I found her very sick and ill. I asked if she had been given anything to take, and they said she had had some gin. I sent to Mr. Chadwick, who ordered his dispenser to attend, which he did, with a mixture—a spoonful to be taken at a time. Mr. Chadwick saw her at seven the next morning. He sent her medicine and fetched Mr. Coates to her. I knew she was in the familyway. The de ceased told me she had taken something to pro cure abortion. I first knew deceased was in the family way six weeks ago, and she was then six weeks gone. A month ago my daughter-in-law found some herbs in the pocket of the deceased which smelt very nasty. The deceased sa id it was a s h ru b t h at, if a - woman took, she would miscarry. She said she got it from a lady's garden, and that Fanny Marsh told her of it. After she gathered the herb she took it to ,Fanny Marsh to it it was the right thing, and she said it3was. She said John .Bonn had promised her marriage. He had cohabited with her. Deceased said she had boiled the herb in a saucepan. Amelia Ridler deposed to finding the herb in the pocket of the deceased. The day the deceased was taken ill Caroline Birch was with her. The deceased that day complained of being very poorly in her head. 'The Coroner—Had you any conversation with Sarah Roberts about the herb you found ? Witness —I had not ; she was not aware that I knew she was in the familyway. Henry Thomas deposed that the deceased had said Fanny Marsh told her in the singing gallery that she never would have a live child if she took some stuff to prevent it. By a juror —James Ashley told him that they used to hand the stuff about to one another in the church in the singing gallery. Mr. P. J. Chadwick deposed to having visited the deceased in her illness, and prescribed for her. He described her symptoms. On the post mortem ex amination he found the external surface of the body much discoloured, and the limbs not as rigid as usual. The abdomen was much distended. On opening the body the lungs and heart were healthy, except that they were much congested ; the blood in the heart and veins was very fluid. The peritoneum was very much congested. The whole of the bowels and the alimentary canal were much congested. The bladder was healthy, and the womb and depen dencies contained a foetus of ten or twelve weeks old. He had no doubt the deceased died from taking some vegetable poison. Mr. Coates corroborated this evidence, and added that in searching the apartment of the deceased he found five quart bottles, three quite full of a light coloured liquid. It was a vege table infusion they contained. The pills were made of flour, broken leaves of horehound, and ground ivy. Mr. Chadwick said, the deceased had admitted to him having taken herbs to procure abortion. The CORONER having summed up the jury returned a verdict of Felo de se against the deceased,Sarah Ann Roberts. The jury then entered on the inquiry as to the cause of death of C a r o li ne Bi rc h. Si m il ar evidence to the foregoing was adduced. Emmanuel Ridley deposed that the deceased Birch, before she died, said she hoped this would be a warn ing to all young people, that Sarah (the deceased Roberts) drank a cupful and ske drank a cupful. Sarah Roberts told her, if it did not do her any good it would not do her any harm. The jury, as in the former instance, returned a verdict of Feb de se. Consequent on these discoveries the prices of all articles of consumption had advanced to nn unpre cedented height, among which we may enumerate flour from 201. to 301. per ton, and difficult to be procured at the latter exorbitant rate ; wheat, from 4s. 6d. to 103. per bushel ; butchers' meat, from 2f d. to Bd. per lb., and other articles in proportion. What will be the result of these changes it is scarcely difficult to conjecture : certain it is the country will be popu lated. From the neighbouring colonies there will be an immediate access of those hands, and within a few months thousands will be hurrying from their father land ; so that, on a moderate estimate, the year 1851 and 1852 will add at least one hundred thousand per sona to the population of New South Wales. One letter says : " I reached Bathurst on Saturday, and found the gold mania still more violent than in Sydney, and much in creased by the arrival of a mau with a piece of gold 3} lbs. weight, which he turned up, as he says, like a root of potatoes. It had such an effect upon him that he commenced filling his pockets with stones, thinking it all gold, and to-day even has not recovered so far as to be able to cat. It is sealed up, and as his partners have made him swear not to open the parcel until they aro all present, I have not seen it, but there is no doubt of its being there." With the view of checking desertion for the mines the Government Gazette, May 27, contains a notifica tion from the Governor, directing that any person, of whatever grade, employed in the public service, who shall resign his post during the existing emergency will be noted as ineligible to serve again, and will cer tainly not be re-appointed. But, notwithstanding this notification, the desertions continued, thinning every department, and leaving the police force far too weak for its duties. FIRE AT THE EASTERN COUNTIES F F I RA IL CI WA, ORT. The firemen were required until late in the day before they could get the ruins perfectly cooled. A more minute examination was then made with a view of testing the solidity of the three injured arches; the result of which proved that they had not been da maged to that extent as to require their being pulled down, and it is the opinion of Mr. Ashcroft, that they can be recased: at a comparatively trifling expense, and without at all interfering with the regular traffic of the line. At an early hour in the morning a num ber of men were set t o wo rk t o restore that porti on o f the wires belonging to the electric telegraph that were melted, and during the day the breach was re. paired, and that important means of communication was again opened for the accommodation of the public. Subjoined is a copy of the official report of the da mage : " Thursday, Sept. 18, 1851.—A fire broke out this morning at a quarter past three, A.m., on the pre ' mises of Mr.F.

Advices nine days later from the Australian gold region were received by the overland mail. They reach to the 11th of June, and are highly interest ing. The probabilities with regard to the extent and richness of the mines appear thus far to be fully maintained, and there was no diminution of the general excitement. At the same time, many persons were disposed to hope that the disturbance to the re gular and important pursuits of the country may, through a variety of causes, be rendered less severe than was at first apprehended. A characteristic proclamation issued by the Governor three weeks be fore the date of the present advices, to the effect that " all persons who shall dig for and disturb the soil in search of gold metal or ore without having been duly authorised in that behalf by her Majesty's Colonial Government, will be prosecuted both criminally and civilly as the law allows," ap pears to have met with the utter disregard which, under the circumstances, it was calculated to invite. The present packet has brought a consignment of about 14 ounces as samples, to Mr. B. S. Lloyd, and the following extracts of letters received by other houses connected with the colony will convey all the leading points communicated by the arrival. The first is addressed to Messrs. T. Aspinwall and Co. : " Sydney, June 11. "The gold discoveries continue to be fully confirmed, and about 20,0001. has arrived at Sydney. People are flocking to Bathurst from all parts of the colony, and 7,000 persons are concentrated there. " At Melbourne five vessels have been laid on for pas sengers to the diggings, and much alarm is stated to be felt at the prospect of tha shepherds and stockmen de serting their charges. " The gold does not appear in one place only, but several spots have been dis covered where it is equally abundant. " Her Majesty's ship Havannah arri ve d at Sydney on the 7th of June, and was ordered home ionaedimely with dispatches. " The utmost anxiety is felt here at the p rospect of labour becoming scarc e, and the cry is for migration upon an extensive scale to supply the demand, Which is most urgent.

' The others are of less recent dates, but they sup ply some interesting facts and opinions.

Mr. HUDDLESTONE pointed out an authority in a case in Archbold, that a judge had power to admit to bail at any time. The Learned JUDGE said the matter bad been mentioned to him by Mr. Sill, in connexion with the former application, and he certainly thought it would be better that the defendant should have the opportu nity of putting in bail, and had stated that he would attend at the chambers for that purpose. Mr. HUDDLESTO.NE said they were perfectly ready to put in bail ; the objection of the magistrates bad arisen under a mistake. The Learned JUDGE said that the best course would be that notice should be given to the other side when the parties were ready to attend him for the purpose of putting in bail, with the names of the bail, and he would come down on purpose ; and then, after hearing both parties, dispose of the whole question. Mr. HUDDLESTONE acquiesced in the course sug gested, which was agreed to ; and the parties with drew. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Scpt. 19. (Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.) IN RE THOMAS ARROWSMITH PARRALL. The insolvent was opposed by three creditors in person, and was supported by Mr. Sargood. Mr. Float, a milkman, complained that he had supplied the insolvent with milk, wood, &c., to the extent of 121, believing that the house in Craven street, Strand, where the insolvent lived, was his house, but now it appeared the house and all the fur niture belonged to the son. Mr. Painter, a butcher, and a creditor for about 101, said he had always considered the insolvent was the master of the house (a lodging-house) in Craven street, and he never heard of the son until he went to the County Court to commence proceedings for the recovery of his debt. Marshall Perkins Farrall, the insolvent's son, was examined, and stated that he was a clerk in the Ge neral Post-office, and the lessee of the house in Craven-street, which he had taken to let out in lodg ings, and the furniture and property there belonged to him. Mr. Tompkinson, pianoforte manufacturer, who stated that he had recently retired from business, complained that about twelve months ago the inset vent's wife and daughter, being recommended by a lady who lodged in their house, purchased a piano forte for 351., and desired him to draw at six months upon Mr. Farrall for the amount, which he did, and the bill was returned accepted, as he then believed, by the insolvent. Subsequently witness discovered that the bill was accepted by insolvent's son, a youth nnder age, and then applied to the insolvent, who gave his own acceptance in lieu of his son's bill. In answer to the Learned COMMISSIONER, the in solvent said the pianoforte was at present in the hands of a Mr. Sanders. Marshall P. Farrall, the son, was then recalled, and stated that he had deposited the piano with Mr. San ders, a hosier in the Strand, as security for a bill on account of money lent. The COMMISSIONER—And what business had you, under age, to buy the instrument, having no means ? Witness—l have means. I have a salary of 1401. a year. - The insolvent said, being in the country at the time, he knevv:nothing of the purchase of the piano forte until he found it in the house, when hearing that his son had bought it he sent for Mr. Tompkinson, and told bim that there would probably be a diffi culty about the bill, as his son was a minor, and begged him to take the instrument back, offering to pay any reasonable amount for the temporary hire of it, but Mr. Tompkinson refused. Mr. Tompkinson positively denied that the piano had ever been offered back to him, or he would have gladly taken it. Upon finding that the young man was under age witness took every means to meet with the insolvent, and at last succeeded, when the latter said if four months' additional time were allowed be would give his acceptance, which he did, and the son's was returned. The insolvent repeated that both he and his wife had offered the instrument back to Mr. Tompkinson, who refused to take it. The CnlEr COMMISSIONER—You and I, Mr. Tomp kinson, are both old men. Now, are you sure your memory does not fail you on this point ? Mr. Tomp kinson—l am within two years of 90, but I am pretty certain that I have told the truth. This announcement of the witness's advanced age caused general surprise, as from his activity of thought, action, and expression, few persons would have assigned him more than two-thirds of his real years. _ _ Mr. SARGOOD addressed the Court for the iusolven urging that no case had been made out to require a prolongation of the imprisonment. Mr. Tompkinson said he had no desire to press se verely against the insolvent, and would leave the mat ter in the hands of the Court. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER said questions in this court were between debtor and creditor, and not criminal questions ; therefore, after what had fallen from Mr. Tompkinson (who seemed, to use a plain word, which sometimes best expressed one's meaning), to have been " swindled" out of his pianoforte, the Court was not called upon to deal with that matter. As to the other customers they appeared to have been in doubt as to who was really their debtor, and very naturally complained of an arrangement whereby the father took the debts and the son kept the property. The insolvent was then sworn to his schedule, and upon his being called up for judgment, The Learned COMMISSIONER said he felt very con siderable difficulty in dealing with the matter. They appeared to be a very dishonest set, the father, son, and females of the family, as far as he could judge from the statements respecting the obtaining of Mr. Tompkinson's pianofore ; but as that creditor had withdrawn from pressing for an adverse judgment, and as it was possible that the debts of the other creditors had been contracted in the ordinary way of dealing with tradesmen, he (the Chief C omm i ss i oner) did not feel himself perfectly satisfied that such a case had been proved as to compel him to pronounce an adverse judgment, and therefore he very reluctantly should adjudge the insolvent entitled to the benefit of the Act and to his discharge forthwith. " But," added the Commissioner, addressing the insolvent, " unless you take care, and unless that young son of yours takes most abundant care, depend upon it nothing but ruin and shame await you." IN RR JAMES CHARLES JOHNS. This insolvent, a person of sporting habits, was heard before Mr. Commissioner Law on the 2d ult., when he was opposed by Mr. Dowse and Mr. Macrae for various creditors, and was supported by Mr. Cooke. Upon the first examination Mr. Macrae submitted that, as the insolvent's chief means of livelihood, as appeared from his balance-sheet, had arisen from buying and selling race-horses and betting upon horse races, the description of " no business or occupation" was incorrect, and ought to be amended by stating that he had sought a livelihood by speculating in horse races. Mr. Commissioner LAW thought the objection was good, and ordered an amendment of the description, and a re-advertisement in the terms propounded by by the Learned Counsel. Upon examination it appeared that the insolvent had married the widow of the late Major-General Cle land, who possessed a private income, settled upon her self one day prior to the marriage. Mr. Coates, one of the opposing creditors, had supplied wine to the late General, for which 231. was due, and afterwards supplied wine to the widow before her union with the insolvent to the extent of 501. or 60/., on account of which he and his wife had been jointly sued, and the former was now in custody at Mr. Coates's suit. Upon the case being called on to-day, Mr. DOWSE said he was instructed by his client to withdraw from further opposition. Mr. MACRAE sail an offer of settlement had been made to his client, upon condition of the insolvent's prior discharge, which could not be consented to. In answer to the Learned Counsel, the insolvent said his wife had a pension of 2001. a year from the Bombay Military Fund. The Oilier COMMISSIONER then read the judgment recorded by Mr. Commissioner Law, who remarked that while it was very proper that the wife's income should be protected against the insolvent's debts, it was not quite right that it should be protected against her own. As to the insolvent, six months' remand was absolutely necessary fur a man who had been living as he had been doing, having been four times insolvent in twelve years. In common justice to tradesmen, notice must be taken of such a case, and therefore the insolvent would be discharged at the expiration of six months from the date of his vesting order, under the discretionary clause. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. TRIAL OF BENJAMIN COLE FOR M AN SLAUGHTER. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. Sergeant %VILKINS addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Justice TALFOLIRD then carefully summed up the whole evidence. THE QUEEN V. BROOME AND OTHERS, IN THE MATTES OF THE APPLICATION OF STADEN TO BE ADMITTED Mr. flunni.EsToza applied to the Learned Baron for leave to issue an order that bail should be put in before his Lordship at chambers, for the defendant Staden, without the defendant being brought up on a writ of habeas corpus, and without forty-eight hours' notice of bail ; notice of the same bail having been given to the solicitor for the prosecution, but refused by the magistrates. Mr. Baron MARTIN inquired what authority he had for doing so; unless it was shown he had the power, he would not act. Mr. Marshall, the chief cashier in the Bank of England, deposed that he received a letter from Liver pool, signed "John Tomline ' " and contai n i ng th e second bill for 501., f or which the writer requested that a 501. note might be forwarded to him, at the Post-office, Liverpool. As the forgery of Mr. Tom line's signature had been by this time discovered, an answer was sent, by the advice of Mr. Mullens, the solicitor, to the effect that, in consequence of the risk attending the transmission of money through the post office, they advised hi m to a p p l y t o th e b ranc h b ank at Liverpool for the amount, producing witness's letter as the authority for the payment. The prisoner, however, did not adopt this suggestion, and a subse quent effort to get the money paid into a London bank was, of course, equally unsuccessful. Sergeant Whicher, of the detective police, proved that he traced the prisoner, by watching the course of a letter left for him in Cunningham -place, St. John's wood, and subsequently posted by a servant girl, to Foregate-street, Chester, where witness apprehended him next day. He denied all knowledge of the bills, but duplicates relating to the watch and ether arti cles referred to by the above witnesses were found in his possession. The prisoner reserved his defence for the trial. THAMES. A morose-looking fellow, named Patrick Lavin, an Irish "duffer," who is well known to the police, and has been twice summarily convicted for brutal assaults, was brought up on remand charged with wounding and attempting to murder David Jones, a police-constable of the H division, 162, whose lif e was despaired of for several days, and who was led into court in a very weakly condition. His head was bandaged, and he looked very pale. Jones stated as follows :—Last Friday morning, the 12th of September, about two o'clock, I was passing over my beat in Glasshouse-street, Rosemary lane, when I saw the prisoner standing at the corner of a court, and he immediately, without saying a word, and without the least provocation on my part, struck me a severe blow with his fist on my face, which cut my lip and caused my mouth to bleed profusely. I followed him down the court for the purpose of taking him into custody, on which he took up a large brick or stone, I don't know which, and hurled it at my head. It broke into two pieces, and missed me. The prisoner took up one of the pieces and threw it at me again, and it struck my hat. I directly caught hold of the prisoner, and he seized me at the same time and said, " Let go, you ---, or I'll put five inches of steel into your guts." He threatened to throw me down, but, failing in doing so, tripped me up, and I brought him down with me. We had a deal of up and down fight ing for some time, and he frequently kicked me and uttered dreadful imprecations, and swore he would kill me if I did not release him. At last, whil e I was down, another man came behind me and ki c k ed me, and dragged me away, and then I found my staff, which was taken out of my pocket, in his hand, and a person held me behind and said, "Now lay into him," and the prisoner struck me several times on the head with the truncheon. They were dreadful blows, and my head was cut open in several places. I became quite senseless, and bled very much. Mr. YARDLEY ordered the depositions to be for mally taken, and after they had been read over by Mr. Pyer, the clerk, committed the prisoner for trial, WANDSWORTH. Spencer Ansell, aged 28 years, a warehouseman, was brought up on remand before Mr. Paynter, charged with embezzling various sums of money, amounting to upwards of 1001., the property of Mr. Charles Francis and Sons, the proprietors Of cement works at Nine Elms and Great Scotland-yard. tl d oco an -yard. Bail was offered for the appearance of the prisoner, and Mr. PAINTER consented to accept two good sure ties in the sum of 501. each, and the prisoner in 1001., for his appearance oa Friday next. He should re quire twenty-four hours' notice. The jury retired at half-past five o'clock, and after nearly an hour's deliberation returned into Court with a verdict of Not Guilty. The announcement was received with a alight demon stration of applause. This concluded the business of the sessions. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Maria Fisher was brought up on the charge of attempting to commit suicide by hanging herself in her garters. Police -constable 111 said,—About ten minutes to two o'clock this morning I heard cries of "Police" and proceeded in the direction the cries came from to ascertain what had occurred. I found the prisoner standing in the water-closet. Her husband was with her, and told me he had just cut her down, and wished me to take her under my care, as the had at tempted to destroy herself on two or three previous occasions. Sir P. LAURIE—I shall send this case for trial. Husband—l hope not, Sir. For my sake I hope you will not do that your Worship. I believe it was done in the height of passion, because the landlady put the broker in and seized our goods for the paltry amount of 3s. without making any previous demand for the money. Landlady—l am obliged to do it, Sir Peter, for I never can get any rent from them. Sir P. LAURIE--I have nothing to do with that. To the prisoner —I understand that this ma❑ is your second husband, and that he has had your money out of the savings -bank ? Prisoner—Yes, Sir, that is quite true. Sir P. LAURIE—Has he had all your money ? Prisoner—Every farthing, Sir, and spent it. Sir P. LAURIE (to the husband)—And you come here, and ask me to treat this woman leniently for your sake after robbing her of all her hard-earned savings. Husband—She is my wife, I could not rob her. Sir P. LAURIE—I am surprised how you can have the impudence to come before me with such an excuse for taking away her money. Sprineate, the gaoler—The prisoner was in custody at this court some time ago, and was fined. Her husband drew all her money, about 301., which was in the savings -bank in their joint names, and then brought it here to show her. She was surprised how he obtained it without her signature, but he refused to tell her, and, after paying the fine, he told her she might go where she liked, for he should spend the rest of the money. Sir P. LAURIE—Then, insteal of adding to her little store, he has spent all her savings, and now pre tends to entertain an affection for her. I shall re mand this case till Saturday, and in the interim the depositions may be prepared for her committal. BO IV-STREET. Edward Henry Poyntz, a young man, formerly an officer in the army, was re-examined before Mr. Henry, on several charges of forgery. The prosecution was conducted by Messrs. Bush and Mullens, solicitors to the Bankers' Protection Society; and Mr. Wontner defended the prisoner. John G. Dodd, a clerk to Messrs. Coutts and Co., the bankers, produced a letter purporting to be signed by " J. Tomline," and dated, " Post-office, Birming ham, Feb. 13." This letter was received at the bank on the 14th, and, in compliance with the directions contained therein, witness prepared instructions for making out a bank post-bill for 501., which was after wards sent to Birmingham by post the same evening. Witness knew that a gentleman named J, Tomline had an account at the bank. E. W. Stanley, another clerk in the same establish • ment, stated that Captain Towline had banked with Coutts and Co. for many years, but the signature to the letter and orders produced were not in his hand writing. There was some resemblance in the style, but not enough to have induced witness to attend to such an order if he had seen it, especially as Captain Tomline always signed his Christian name in full. John Aaron, a pawnbroker at Birmingham, deposed to having received the bank post-bill in question from the prisoner in March last, in payment for a watch, chain, ring, and some other articles purchased by him o❑ that occasion. He represented himself as Captain Stanhope, and endorsed the bill with that name. Mr. Yolk, of the Western-road, Brighton, identi fied the watch purchased of the last witness as one which the prisoner brought to him in March last, with instructions to gild the dial and case for him, which was accordingly done. George Corsby, watchmaker and jeweller, of Bath place, New-road, deposed that he received the watch on the 3d of July last from the prisoner, who called himself Captain Poyntz. The watch was exchanged in a business transaction. Witness had done business with him on two previous occasions. James F. Cooper, clerk to Messrs. Cocks and Greenwood, army agents, used to see the handwriting of the prisoner, some years ago, when he was a Captain in the 59th Regiment of Foot. The signa ture "J. Tomline" resembled his (the prisoner's) style of writing. Owing to the absence of Captain Tomline, who is detained by illness at Brighton, the evidence could not be completed, but the other witnesses were bound over in the usual way. Another case was then proceeded with. It was proved that in June last two other bank post-bills, each for 501., were obtained by the prisoner from Messrs. Coutts and Co., also in the name of " J, Tomline." They were forwarded to the prisoner at Windsor. The preparation of the post-bills, upon the instruc tions of Coutts and Co., were proved by Mr. Arrn stead, a clerk in the Bank of England. Mr. Corsby, the witness in the previous case, proved that one of these bills for 501. was received by him from the prisoner on the 3d of July, in payment for a gold watch, a brooch, &c., the difference in the amount being paid to him in cash. James Bollington, assistant to Mr. Fisher, pawn broker, in Walworth, produced the gold watch and brooch, which bad been pledged at his employer's shop. A CUNNING LANDLORD OUTWITTED. On Thursday, the 21st instant, Mr. John Scott, the landlord of the George Hotel, &lepton Mallet, accom panied by Mr. Jas. Welch, the jolly Boniface of the White Lion, in the same place, proceeded to Priddy Fair, to see and be seen. On arriving at their destina tion, Mr. Welch (with a lendable anxiety for the pro tection of his brother chip of the George) consigned Mr. Scott to the care of a farmer in the village, and left him regaling himself with good roast beef, " hot -reeking from the spit" in a neighbouring booth, with strict in junctions to remain at his quarters, and not fall into the company of the " sharpers," who are generally so plen tiful at fairs. Whether or not the abundance of roast beef, or the potations he indulged in, caused him to slight the warnings of his friend, is unknown, but shortly after the Welchmstn had left the " cannie Scott" so comfortably situated, the latter proceeded into the thickest of the fair, and soon found himself amongst a bustling throng of horse dealers. He was presently accosted by a person of respectable exterior, who, after a little preliminary chat, stated that ho was very desi rous of purchasing a horse of a friend, but that the said friend had refused to sell it to him for his word's sake; and, of course, as a gentleman his word was his bond, he was bound in honour to keep it. Under these circum stances, v:oald Mr. Scott kindly do him a favour—just a leetle favour; and exhibiting a bag of what appeared to be sovereigns, the insinuating stranger suggested that Mr. Scott should go to his friend, and purchase the horse for 251., promising that, if ho could effect the pur chase, he should be rewarded with a sovereign and a bottle of wine for his trouble. Who could resist so groat a temptation? The cunning old landlord did not attempt it; he at once seized the bait, posted off to the " gentleman" with the horse, and off.ired 25/. for it, which was immediately accepted. And now came the payment. The " distinguished stranger," who was so anxious to possess the horse, had forgotten to give Mr. Scott the money to pay for it; but that gentleman, ge nerously changing a cheque which he had in his pocket, handed over the 25/. to the dealer, and having thus faithfully executed his commission, proceeded in search of the stranger, his sovereign, and the bottle of wine! But here he was doomed to suffer disappointment. His jolly red countenance, which had beamed with additional joy at the prospect of making so easy a morning's work, became o'ereloudcd with " Dreary doubts, forebodings, and dismay." The bird had flown ; he sought and sought in vain, the " distinguished stranger" was non e.st inventui, and Mr. Scott discovered, when too late, that he had been made the victim of a very stale trick, having bought, as a bargain, for 251., a glandered, broken winded eteed, which he subsequently disposed of for thirty shillings. How this notoriously " wide awake" landlord came to be so easily duped 1.; a mystery to his friends, and they can only account for his folly from the knowledge of the fact that the bright black eyes of a pretty gipsey girl looked languishingly on him, when rho entreated him to " buy the horse for the gentleman." —Bristol Mirror.

NEWBURY, SEPT. 18.—Our supply of wheat to-day is large, and most 01 it composed of the new crop, both the quality and condition of which are very fine. The demand is not so good as the quality would warrant, and although prices gave way fully 13 per quarter, still sales proceeded slowly, and some quantity remains undisposed of. Barley —We have some quantity of new, the prices of which rule from 26 s to 28 3 per quarter; and there being no demand for malting, and more supply than re quired for grinding, some parcels are unsold. Beans, oars, and peas moderate supply, with a fair demand, at fully late rates. LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 19.—N0 particular change oc curred in the value of any article of the grain trade the last two days.
