GERMANY. We read in the Debats:—" The Diet of Frankfort continues its deliberations, though without as yet liv ing decided the most important questions. Ac cording to letters from Frankfort of the 28th ult., it wa s recsntly occupied with the question of the Ger- wan fleet. Of all the matters subjected to its deci sion, it is that in which the opposition of Hanover has been most clearly expressed. At a recent sitting of the naval commission, M. de Sc heel, the Hanoveri▪ an Plenipotentiary, formally in vited Austria and Prussia 6 tia g ive explanations as to their i ntentions respecting the German fleet in the North Sea ; as also to declare themselves for or again st the long-proposed committee of three special persons , char g ed to study the questi▪ on of the formation of a federal fleet.' M. de Thun having, in the name of Austria and Prussia, declared that they abandoned the idea of a federal fleet, and only recognised the existence of an Austrian fleet or of a Prussian one, M. le Scheel replied that 6 such a declaration was equivalent to giving the fi n i 3 hiag blow to the fl eet, which being for the future deprived of the support of t in the two great power s , had no longer any c h a nce of being supported by th e As sembly ; that consequence there was nothing fur ther to be done b.it to proceed as quickly as possible to its dissol u tion; that, however, n o ill us ion ought to be entertained as to the unfavourable impression which would be produced on the public by the giving up of the Gorman iLet, the creati on o f which had been sa luted with so much sympathy and celebrated with so vouch pomp. The Hanoverian Plenipotentiary, who is the reporter of the commission in question, after wards, replying to some objections of M. de Thun, added that he considered it his duty to place the .A.ustro-Prussian declaration by the side of his re port, and that he would not fail to accompany it with indispensable comments.' " ITALY. A letter from Rome of the 24th ult. gives an ac count of the trial of the persons accused of having taken a part in the destruction of the carriages belong ing to the Cardinals in 1849. The number of accused was upwards of fifty. The correspondent says that although the sentences have not been published, there are several condemned to the galleys for life, and many others to the same punishment for a limited term. He also gives an honourable testimony to the triumvirs of the Roman Republic, by stating that Signor Armellini saved the carriages of Cardinal Brignole from destruction, and that Signor Mazzini did the same in favour of a cardinal who had fled to Gaeta, it being thus proved that the carriages were destroyed by the fury of the populace, which the triumvirs were unable, though willing, to stem. The letter concludes with saying that the authors of the outrage upon the Canon Mazzolini are in the hands of justice.

SUGAR—To-day the West India Sugar market . pre sented a more active appearance ; there was a large demand from grocers and refiners, and the rates ob tained for all qualities were fully equal to those of Fri day, at which some merchants are not disposed to realize. The purchases are 1,200 hhds, &c., in cluding at auction 166 hhds 12 trs Barbadoes, which sold with better spirit at full terms, fine yellow went at 38s to 40s 6d, good mid to good 36s 6d to 38s 6d, mid 35s to 365, low and inferior 323 6d to 34s 6d. 28 trs 67 brla Demerara crystalized realized the full currency, ord and mid yellow went at 37s 6cl to 403, good to fine 41s to 455, and one lot superior white 50s. REFINED.—To-day rather lower rates were again taken for Refined sugar; there was in consequence a good demand for home consumption, and brown lumps were sold at 44s 6d to 455, fair to fine grocery 46s to 49s per cwt. Orders for Crushed are still seaall, pith free sellers at previous quotations; and there is no decrease in supply. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was a fair business concluded privately iu Mauritius Sugar and former terms are well supported. Only 95 bags were offered at auction and sold at 33s Gd to 35s 6d for low to mid yellow. EAST INDIA.--This afternoon an improvement took place in the demand for Bengal Sugar, and the public sales of 2,400 bags went at full rates, the whole being cold. Fine white I3enares went at 41s Gd to 435, middling to good 383 6:1 to 41.3, low 37s Gil to 38s, damp and washed 36s to 423 6 I, middling to fine soft yellow 333 6d to 373, middling grainy yellow 40s, ord 36s to 375, and low soft brown 26e GI Madras sells more freely, and former terms are supported. A public sale of 2,383 bags went at 423 6d to 4ts for good and fine grainy yellow, at 453 Gd to 463 for white ditto, and damp 40s to 43s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.—To-day there was more disposition to operate in floating cargoes of Foreign Sugar at former terms, and at which there are not free sellers. A cargo of brown Bahia was sold at 173 per cwt. In duty paid parcels rather more business is doing privately at last week's valuations. There was no public sale to-day. AIOLA.SSES.—West India cannot be obtained at any further reduction; there is, however, little business doing, and purchases are 250 puns Antigua, at 14s to 15s; and other sorts 123 to 13s 6d. There are sellers of Bengal and Mauritius at 11s to Ils Gd; Cuba and Porto Rico 133 to 13s 6i, and operations aro trifling. West India Honey is in fair demand at 36s to 56s for low to fine. COFFEE.—This afternoon Plantation Ceylon Coffee was operated in with reluctance, and prices declined is to is 6d per ccvt. Of the parcels offered at auction, amounting to 520 casks and 380 bags, not above one-half found buyers; fine and good qualities went at 573 to 704 good mid 553 to 565, mid 53s to 545, low mid 50s to 523, fine fine ord 473 to 495, other sorts 43e to 465, triage 37s to 435, pea berry 54s to 623. Native is not cheaper, but there was little business done privately, and at auction 290 bags taken in at 40s. The market is quiet for Foreign, and of Costa Rica 170 bags were bought in at 47s to 48s for fine ord, and 136 bgs washed Rio at 43s 61 to 61s for good ord, hut damaged sold at 37s per cwt. CocoA.—There are now few buyers of West India; supply is larger, and rates are rather lower. Of 1,100 bags at auction a small portion only sold. Trinidad grey 38s to 403, low to middling red 41s to 44s 6d, good to lino 453 to 503; Grenada, red, 37s to 40s, fair grey 36s to 375, and 9 pkgs Dominica 35s per cwt. Stock of West India is 4,800 bags more than last year, and at present consumption is limited. For Foreign the de mand is rather better, and holders are firm, Bahia and Para realise 26s to 275, Guayaquil 30s to 31s per cwt. TEA.—In consequence of rather lower rates having b3en accepted for green, many parcels have been dis posed of, consisting chiefly of ord and mid qualities; but with all sorts the market is well supplied, mostly by the late arrivals. An impression now prevails that prices have nearly arrived at their lowest point; and the pre sent value of Hyson is is ld to is 5d for common to mid; Is 61 to 334 d for good to very fine; Young Hyson, good to fine, is 8d to 2s 10d, and low to mid 10d to is 6d; imperial Canton 10d to is 4d; Hyson kind is is 5d to 25 8d; Gunpowder is 4d to 3s 6d; Canton made 9d to is 8d; and Twankay 101 to is 2d. Importers of Con gou are free sellers, and submitted to lower rates; for the inferior qualities there has in consequence been a good demand from home dealers, and some parcels have been taken by exporters; sales of low and ord have been made at 91 to 9Nd; good ord Sid to lod; mixed blackish leaf 104 d to I Id, and blackish leaf I lid to Is. In strong sorts, however, purchases have been upon a small wale at is 0.(1 to is 21d and Pekoe kinds at Is 3d to is 7d. Wong mot with little attention, and prices aro drooping, ruling at from lld to Is 7d. Souchoug, is still difficult of sale, and there aro sellers of ordinary at 10d to is 16, midd ling to fine is 21 to 25, and superior 2s 2d to 2s 6d. Other Teas met with little notice, and are in plentiful supply. Flowery Pekoe of ordinary quality is offered at is 31 to Is 6d, middling to good Is 7d to 2s 61, superior 2s 8d to 3s; Caper in boxes at lld to is 3d; scented ditto is Id to is 6d; Orange Pekoe plain lld to is 4d, and scented Is 4d to 2s per lb. RICE.—To-day there has been no improvement in the demand for East India Rico ; at auction 2,072 bags Ben gal sold at easier prices; fins white went at 9s 6d to 10s, good 93 to 9s 6d, and damaged 7s 6d to 9s per cwt. SPIRITS —ln Demerara Rum transactions have been limited curing the last tew days; still holders demand 2s to 2s 41 for 30 to 40 per cent over proof. Leeward Island, however, is in good request at is 5d to is 6d proof, and the market is firm. East India is held for is ,id to 13 Ad proof, and transactions have been to a fair extent, whilst supply remains limited. For better sorts of Jamaica there is a good demand, and previous terms are well maintained, but inferior are dealt in with caution, former rates being supported with difficulty fine quality, 34 to 38 per cent over proof, realized as 2d to 4s 4d; and mid to good 32s to 34s over, 2s 91 to 3s; low to middling 30 to 33 over, 2s 51 to 23 Bd. Havan nah offered at is 2d to is 21c1 over proof. For Brandy the demand is improvin g , no a d vance , h owever, h as b een established,brand there bein g a heav y stock. Co g nac, best to 4 3 the vint age o f 1850 can b e o b tained at 4s 41 5s ; a6d older ; 51s 5449 d d t i o tt 6 o B 4 6 s d; Edtolow to 4s 81; 1848 dling 2s sit6tod to 4s 3 1 s 0d 6d to and Bordeaux 2 s 2d to 3s 3d. For British made s pi r it' rates are yet 93 5d to 95 6i nett cash; and for Gin 2s 6d for exportation. Geneva sells more freely at is 7d to 14 84:1 for uorauaou, and fine is 91 to 2a per gallon. LONDON, WED NESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER a, 1851. INDIGO.—In consequence of the announcement of the large quantity of 18,854 chests of East India for public ompetitiaii on the 7th of October, purchases have been upon a small scale by exporters and home dealers during the last few days, still holders will not sell, but at full rates. Spanish has been in good demand, and full rates are obtained for better sorts, whilst a small advance has taken place for inferior. At auction 550 srns Guatemala were sold ; very lean Copper and Coppery Cortes at is 8d to 3s 2d ; mid to good, with a few fine Sobres 3s 6d to 53 Id per lb. A public sale of 600 serons is an nounced. ------- FRUlT.—There are few buyers of Raisins, ands de sire is evinced to sell old Valencia at 27s to 28s; Belvi dere 24s to 295; Eleme 33s to 365, and Muscatels at 363 to 60s. For low and mid sorts of Currants the demand is dull at 24s to 32a; and merchants are disposed to sell; but good and fine kinds are wanted at 34s to 42s per cwt, and of such there is a decreasing stock; inferior Fruit is, however, yet plentiful. SALTPETRE.—To - day Saltpetre was operated in with reluctance, and prices declined 6d per cwt. At auction 556 bags Calcutta were only in part sold; mid quality 18 per cent. refraction went at 25s to 5:15s 6d, 9 to Si ditto 26a. COCHINEAL.—A further increase has taken place in supplies, prices have fallen Id to 2d for Black, and beat sorts of Silver; in the value of inferior there is, how ever, no variation. At auction 400 bags were chiefly dis posed of; ordinary to good black Honduras went at 3s 6d to 42 6i ; Silvers, low to ord 2s Ild to 3s ; mid to good, 3s ld to 3s 31; fine, 3s 4d to 3s sd; Mexican Silvers, good, 3s; ord and mid black 3s 4d to 3s id; and 10 bags black Teneriffe 3s 9d per pound. Several parcels are announced for auction. TALLow.—There is still confidence on the part of holders of Russian here, and the demand for home con sumption is good; fine now Y.C. realised 36s id to 395, and old at 373 9d to 38s per cwt; at present, however, higher rates are not anticipated. For delivery many con tracts have been concluded; now at 38s 9d to 39s for the last three months of the year, and 39a 3d to 39s 6d for January, February, and March. Of home melted largo parcels have been sold at 37s to 37s 6d net cash. Pre vious terms are well supported for other kinds, and there is no increase of supply. At auction 380 casks of Aus tralian were chiefly disposed of, Ox at 35s to 375, Sheep 36s to 37s 9d; 423 packages South American 34s 9d to 37s 6d, and 310 skins Ibrail 35s to 36s 6d per cwt. OILS.—The purchases made in Cod Oil have been upon a small scale, and there are sellers at 361 per tun. Seal has bee❑ purchased with reluctance, and rates incline downwards, ruling for pale at 34/ to 34/ 10s, and other sorts 32/ to 334 There are now few buyers of Southern, and rates are not so firm ; common to good selling at 31/ to 33/, and fine 321 103 to 331, whilst public sales will be de clared shortly. Sperm is held with firmness; fine British 851 to 861, and American 841 to 851, but pur chases have been upon a small scale, and supply is rather more plentiful. Headmatter is selling at 911 to 931, and is yet scarce. Rapeseed Oil met with little attention, and supply is on the increase; pale is offered at 32s 6d to 335, brown 31s 6d to 325, and refined foreign 34s to 35s per cwt. For Cocoa Nut a brisker demand prevails, and supply is limited. Cochineal realized 31s 6d to 333 6d, and Ceylon 31a to 32s 6d. A good demand prevails for Pale, and fine is worth 27s to 27s 6d; there is an increasing supply. Linseed Oil is rather cheaper, but many purchases have been made by home dealers, and a fair export business prevails at 323 6d. For future delivery the terms ac ceeded to are 31s 64 to 31s 9d, and few transactions have taken place. For Olive the market is brisk, and rates rule firm. LAW INTELLIGENCE.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assivant-Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates, at the Guildhall, West minster.) TUE ROBBERIES IN NEWCASTLE•COUItT. _ James Wise, aged 29, was indicted for having stolen from Isaac Friedlander a pair of scissors and one ear-ring drop, his property, in Newcastle-court. Mr. Harry defended the prisoner. It will be in the recollection of our readers that on the Bth ult., at Clerkenwell, a woman of the town was convicted of having committed this robbery in conjunction with a man who upon that occasion made his escape from the officer and the prosecutor. Upon the Learned Judge asking how it had happened that flee man had not been indicted with the female priso ner, the officer assigned as the reason the escape of the man. Another officer then informed the Judge that the man was at that moment in the court, sit ting behind the dock, whereupon his Lordship di rected that he should be taken into custody. This having been done the man now appeared at the bar to take his trial. The facts of the case are simply these :—The pro secutor, who is a Jew hawker, was passing through Newcastle-court, in the Strand, in the early part of the last month, when he was called into one of the houses by the prisoner and the woman. The hawker went in, and the two prisoners took the articles in question from his box, and on his finding that they did not mean to make any purchase, he required that the goods should be returned. The male prisoner thereupon told him that if he did not at once quit the house he would kick him out. The hawker consequently walked out, to avoid the alternative visitation, and communicated to the first policeman with whom he met the treatment he had received. The policeman went to the court with him, and there they saw the woman get out of the window and go towards an • other, where she was in the act of handing the stolen property to another woman, when the officer took both of them into custody. The male prisoner, seeing what was going on, ran away, and thus it was that he had not been apprehended at the time. The case was now clearly proved against him. Mr. HoERY having addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, The Learned JUDGE left the matter to The Jury, who at once returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned JUDGE said the prisoner was one of the most notorious thieves in London, and had upon more than one occasion been convicted. He had re ceived a sentence at the Central Criminal Court of six months' imprisonment, and from himself he had received a sentence of twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour. (This conviction was upon the present occasion proved by the production of the cer tificate of the fact, and the identification of the pri soner by the policeman who had been in attendance upon the case). It was quite clear that such a man was totally unfit for a longer residence in this country. The sentence upon him therefore was, that he be transported beyond the seas for ten years. The Prisoner—Can't you give me something more ? My brother has been transported, can't you punish me for that also ? I want to know. Hadn't you better try me for that also ? The Learned JUDGE—You are sentenced for ten years. Take him away. Elizabeth James, aged 20, was indicted for stealing a purse containing two half-crowns and other moneys, the property of Jane Johnson, from her person ; and that she " did steal from the person of a woman whose name is unknown a purse, and the sum of 3s. 6d., and a toothpick, her moneys and property," at the The prisoner pleaded guilty. It appeared that the prisoner was apprehended in the Crystal Palace by Sergeant West, of the F divi sion, by whom she had been watched for a consider able time. He at length saw her pick the pocket of the present prosecutrix. The Learned JUDGE sentenced her to seven years' transportation. William Marshall, aged 29, was indicted for having stolen a pocket-book containing two Bank of England notes of the value of 51. each, the property of John Dollfus, from his person. The Learned JUDGE intimated to the jury that they must acquit this prisoner, for the prosecutor, who was a Frenchman, it appeared, held an important situation in Paris, had been compelled to leave England, and had sent a letter to say that as his duties required his attention in Paris he had been obliged to leave this' country, and was therefore anxious to withdraw the prosecution, apparently not being aware that by the law of this country such a course could not be adopted without very considerable difficulty. It was quite clear that it would be useless to order the recogni zances of the prosecutor to be entreated, because pro cess could not reach him in Paris. As there was no prosecutor, of course the prisoner must be acquitted. The jury, therefore, gave a verdict of Not Guilty. Thomas Baker, aged 35, was convicted of having unlawfully and indecently assaulted Mary Ann Baker, a little girl about ten years old, his stepdaughter, with intent. The prisoner offered a most disgusting defence, and accused his wife of the most abandoned conduct, and also asserted that she had instructed her daughter to trump up the present charge against him out of a feeling of revenge towards him. The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence ppm th prisoner, , said it was about the most disgusting case it had eve r been his misfortune to have heard. So utterly dis gusting had been Lis address to the, jury that it h 4 d been almost impossible for any person, even he wl to filled the judgment seat, to abstain from rising up ti put a stop to the further utterance of such filthy and f oul language. The case was one which must be inn irked with full severity. The sentence therefore was two years' imprisonment with hard labour. Henry Inaney, aged 32, was indicted for having unlawfully and maliciously inflicted upon John Loxton, a policeman, D 208, grievous bodily harm. Mr. Pull'.en, who appeared to prosecute, said that he was instructed by the Solicitor to the Lords of the Treasury raider the recent Act of Parliament. It appeared that on the morning of the 4th ult., about two o'clock, the prisoner and some other persons were making a great disturbance in Orchard-street, Port man-square, when the policeman o❑ duty desired them to desist, and to go their way home. The prisoner continued the noise, and upon the policeman going towards him to take him into custody he placed his back against the wall and began to kick him severely. He gave the policeman several kicks upon his thighs and on the lower part of the stomach, and the effect of the latter was to produce two ruptures of the abdomen, from which the medical gentleman who gave testimony upon the present occasion, said the officer would never recover, but must for the rest of his life wear a double truss, and even that then he would he subject to constant pain. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against the prisoner. The Learned JUDGE said that this was a species of offence which the Court always visited with severity. The sentence, therefore, would be nine months' im prisonment, with hard labour. Jane Jones, aged 22, was indicted for having stolen from the person of one Antonio de Vecchia a purse containing the sum of 241. 17s. ld., his property. Mr. Jackson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Parry defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prosecutor, an Italian, in the service of General Gabriel, living at No. 7, Con naught-place, Hyde-park, on the night of Wednesday week went out with a friend soon after nine o'clock, and that on his return towards home shortly before ten, as he was passing down the Edgeware-road be was accosted by the prisoner, who was extremely urgent that he should accompany her to her lodgings. This invitation he declined, saying that he was much obliged to her, but that he had a nice bed at his own home. As they were passing the end of Cumber land-mews she drew him a little way into them, where saying that she would give him a kiss, the prisoner coughed and stamped, and on the instant two men rushed forward, each taking hold of him by his arms. The prisoner instantly thrust her hand into the breast pocket of his coat, and having drawn from it the purse containing the money in question, ran off. The prosecutor by a violent jerk succeeded in releas ing himself from the grasp of the men, and ran off in pursuit of the prisoner, the sight of whom he never lost until she turned into Berkeley-mews. In the progress of his pursuit he encountered a policeman, who, hearing what had happened, joined in the hunt. On arriving at Berkeley-mews they went down and discovered the prisoner behind some cabs with a light shawl on. On the ground in front of her was ,her black silk mantle, which the officer picked up and put over her shoulders, upon which the prosecutor at once recognized her as the woman by whom he had been robbed. The prisoner was then conveyed to the station-house, where she was searched, and 181. 17s. ld. found upon her. The policeman and the prosecutor returned to Berkeley mews, and there they found the empty purse. The prosecutor added, that when the men laid hold of his arms, one of them tried to take his watch, but the sudden jerk by which he had released himself from their grasp had frustrated the attempt. Mr. PARRY, at some length, addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. The Learned JUDGE recapitulated the evidence, and The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The Learned JUDGE then sentenced her to impri sonment and hard labour for six months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Elizabeth Sammon, N 0.6, Foley-place, was brought up for examination, charged with having been con cerned in fraudulently obtaining two pianofortes from Messrs. Rust and Stahl, No. 320, Regent-street. It appeared that a person of gentlemanly appear ance called, in July last, at Messrs. Rust and Stahl's shop and hired a pianoforte for a lodger, as he said, at so much per month. The pianoforte was sent to No. 6, Foley-place, where the person lived who made the bargain, and who gave the name of Sammon. In a day or two afterwards the same person called again, and said he wanted to hire another pianoforte for another lodger. Another pianoforte was sent, the value of each being 30 guineas. From information which Mr. Rust subsequently obtained, he went in person to No. 6, Foley-place, and saw the prisoner, from whom he demanded the return of the pianofortes. The prisoner said they were locked up in one of the rooms, and she dared him to take them away in Mr. Sammon's absence. Mr. Rust applied to the police, and by their aid succeeded in gaining information to the effect that the pianofortes were in the hands of a pawnbroker named Clarke, in Long-acre. The pri soner was taken into custody, the person who came to the shop on both occasions and hired the pianos not being to be met with. Robert Tilling, carman, proved the delivery of two pianos from Messrs. Rust and Stahl, at No. 6, Foley place. On the first occasion witness saw Mr. Sam mon, as well as the female prisoner. On the second occasion the female prisoner only was present. William Barnes, painter, had been employed to do work at No. 6, Foley-place. The person who em ployed and paid him went by the name of Bowsley. The prisoner then represented herself to be the house keeper of Bowsley. Ed ward Perryman, assistant to Mr. Barnes, helped to remove one of the pianofortes from No. 6, Foley place. The piano was taken away in a coal van, but witness did not know where. Mr. Clarke, pawnbroker, 55, Long-acre, bad known the prisoner for about twelve months, and had taken articles in pawn from her. There might have been a piano among them. The case was remanded at this stage of the pro ceedings for a week, for the production of the pianos. Yesterday Mr. Clarke was in attendance with his books, but not with the pianos. Mr. BINGHAM inquired why the pianos were not produced ? Mr. Clarke understood his books only were to be brought into court. Mr. BINGHAM said the pianofortes must be pro duced, and remanded the case again for that purpose. WEST MINSTER. Daniel Foley, a labourer, was charged with the following disgraceful and violent conduct : Mr. Morgan, baker, Great Peter street, stated that about eight on the previous evening the defendant, who was intoxicated, fell down against his shop front, when, in order to prevent his windows being broken, be went out and assisted him to move away, but had scarcely done so when defendant turned round and made several kicks at him, which, had they taken effect, must have done him serious injury. A con stable fortunately came up while he was so engaged, and prevented defendant doing him any mischief. The next complainant against defendant was an iti nerant vendor of pickled eels and such like dainties. He was quietly seated behind his stock in trade when the accused came up, thrust his dirty paws into a jar of eels, and began throwing them about, and, having so menaced the safety of his goods and stall that he was apprehensive the whole would be destroyed, a policeman was sent for, when defendant made off. A third charge was exhibited by a police-constable. Directly he took the accused from Mr. Morgan's door be attacked him in a violent manner, and after wards repeated the assault. Defendant's only excuse for all these offences was intoxication. Mr. ARNOLD observed, that his conduct had been disgraceful in the extreme, and not only committed him for a month, but ordered him to enter into his own recognizances to be of good behaviour for six months. sixpennyw o rth o f g i n an d water. He called for one I glass and I for the other; and after we had drunk it he said, "Excuse me, I have business over the way ; wait here for five or ten minutes," and he left me and had scarcely got across the street when a man came into the house and said, " Ah, Mr. Gibson, I am glad to see you out ; h ow d o you d o ?" I said I was very well, and was waiting for a friend. Mr. YARDLEY—Did you ever see that man before ? Mr. Gibson—Yes, once before at the house where lam staying —only once. We went upstairs to a billiard-room and I seated myself near a window, where I could see Mr. Smith come over again. When I had stood at the window 10 or 15 minutes the man said, " You had better give it up, Sir; he is not coming back." A third person then came into the room, and in a polite manner said, " I beg pardon, gentlemen hope I don't intrude is this a private party ?" I said the room was as free for him as for us, and he seated himself close to us, and called for brandy and water. A conversation was then got up about America, and the second person, whom I met downstairs, asked me if I had ever been in America. I said I had not. The second person said, " I have heard a good deal of America, but I was never there." The third person said he had just arrived from America. The second person said he should like to know a business man from America. The third person said he knew nothing of business, and that he had li ve d as gentle man's servant to a bachelor in America, who died a little while ago and bequeathed 22,0001., and that there was a provision in the will that 4001. was to be given to the poor of four different parishes in England. Mr. YARDLEY—Did he name the parishes ? Mr. Gibson—No, sir. He said the parishes were immaterial--he could choose which he liked. He then asked me if there were any more poor people in the parish to which I belonged. I said I had no doubt there were. He asked me which parish it was, and I said it was Wolverhampton, in Staffordshire. He said if I could show him a sufficient proof of my re spectability, and that I was a man of substance and fit to be trusted, he would give me 201. to dis tribute among the poor. He also said the second person should have 201. to distribute among the poor of his parish. After this was talked about for some time, it was proposed to return to the City, and we all three got into an omnibus and proceeded to the Bull's Head public-house in Leadenhall-street. When we got in there we had more brandy- and water. The third person, who was gentleman's ser vant to the rich bachelor in America, proposed that we should meet him again, and receive 201. each. The second person proposed that it should be done at once, and the deceased bachelor's servant said be should be happy to meet us in an hour if we could bring him some money to convince him that we were re spectable men. I then went to Poplar and fetched a 101.-note and 531. in gold. Mr. YARDLEY—And was robbed of the whole of it ? Mr. Gibson—Yes, sir. At 10 minutes to 6 I re turned again to the Bull's Head, and waited until 10 or 15 minutes past 7, when the person who said he had 4001. to distribute came there, and we were joined by the other man, who produced a roll of notes and said he had 501. in his possession. Mr. YARDLEY—Are you sure they were bank notes ? Mr. Gibson—They appeared like it. I pro duced my money, and the third person said, " I am now convinced you are respectable men, and will give you 201. each for the poor at some future time." He got up, as if he was about to leave, and the se cond man said, " D on 't l eave us. I will get you a receipt for the 201. at once." The third man then put a roll of sovereigns in his hat, and said he was ready with the money. The second man put his 501. in his hat, and said to me, " You leave your money in it, and let us go out and get two stamped receipts for 201. each." ➢lr. YARDLEY—For the poor of Wolverhampton ? Mr. Gibson—Yes, Sir. Well, Sir, I left my purse in his hat. Mr. YARDLEY--And your money too ? Mr. Gib son—Yes, Sir, 1531., which I brought from Black wall. I was getting up to go away, and the second one said " I will do the same as you have," and took hold of my arm by the side of the door, when I saw Mr. Smith, the pris one r, aga i n . " Halloo," says I, "is it you ?" and he immediately seized hold of my other arm and was leading me towards the street, when I saw the third man following us across the passage. I immediately suspected something wrong, and said "Let me go, let go my arm," but they would not. I tried to extricate myself from them, but they pinioned me and dragged me off the doorstep, and the man in whose hat the money was ran across the street, and I saw no more of him. The other two men also disappeared immediately. I have never seen my purse and money since. Mr. YARDLEY—And you believed this story about 4001. being left to the poor by an American gentle man ? Mr. Gibson—Yes, Sir ; I was completely thrown off my guard; they both produced a good deal of money. Mr. YARDLEY—Are you sure you saw the prisoner a second time in Leadenhall-street ? Mr. Gibson— Yes, Sir; he appeared all at once. Mr. YARDLEY—You are a most credulous person, and have lost all your money. What are you ? Mr. Gibson—l am an engineer, and was in the service of the Indian General Steam Navigation Company. These are the wages which I brought home. Mr. YARDLEY—ShouId you know the other people? Mr. Gibson—Very well indeed, Sir. Mr. YARDLEY said the affair was cleverly con cocted, and the engineer was made the victim of a deep-laid conspiracy to defraud him of his money. There was some evidence the prisoner was concerned in the conspiracy, but, as the prosecutor was robbed of his money in the City, the case must go to the Mansion-house. He remanded the prisoner until this day, when he will be brought before the Lord Mayor. He directed the police to look after the other sharpers. to whom the prisoner was paying his addresses, de posed to his having presented her with the gold pin produced, and also a knife, both of which articles had been stolen from Mr. Isaacs's house. Sarah Brown said the prisoner had lodged at her house for 14 or 15 months, and up to the time be was taken. He showed her the cigar -case and slipper-tops, and said they had been sent to him, but had never spoken to the person who had sent them. The slipper-tops, he said, had been passed through the letter-box. Hannah Gerrard, a servant at Langbourne-cham bers, Fenchurch-street, said she had seen the prisoner speaking to the deceased in the court where he lived on the day before she disappeared. The deceased was coming towards witness to speak to her, when she saw the prisoner leave the counting- house, and, fol lowing him, she did not return. „ . In reply to the questions of Mr. Gillum the witness said that she had seen the deceased and the prisoner speak together four or five times, and she had taken in letters from the former to the latter. Thomas Baker, a fellow-servant to the prisoner, said he had seen the prisoner and the deceased speak together several times, and on one occasion the former gave him a package of fire cigars to give to the latter. In reply to the questions of Mr. Hobler, the witness admitted having spoken to the deceased himself, and said he assisted the prisoner in smoking the cigars she had given him. This being the whole of the evidence, Mr. Hobler contended that there was nothing that would induce any jury to find a verdict against his client of receiving the articles spoken of knowing them to have been stolen ; on the contrary, there was nothing whatever to show a guilty knowledge. Mr. ELLIOTT differed from the Learned Gentle man, and said that his different and conflicting state ments, and particularly his assertion to his landlady that he had never spoken to the person from whom he had received the cigar-case and the worked slipper tops, when the contrary was shown to be the fact, was, to say the least of it, most suspicious. Had the slipper -tops been passed through the letter-box of his master, he (the prisoner) had no business, in his (Mr. Elliott's) opinion, to appropriate them to his own use. Mr. Isaacs here said that the father of the young woman was in attendance, and, as he had come from the neighbourhood of Great Leigh, beyond Chelms ford, and was most anxious to have the fullest investi gation into the circumstances attendant upon the very suspicious death of his daughter, he hoped his worship would hear him. The poor man, who seemed much dejected, said, that from what he had learned, he did think that the inquest was hurried over exceedingly and unnecessarily , quick, but this he supposed was owing to his daugh ter's apparel not being such as to denote her to be a person of consequence or fashion, and therefore no adjournment was considered necessary. He also learned that no medical man had been examined before the coroner, and that the evidence was very scanty. Mr. ELLIOTT could hardly suppose that a case of the sort could have been disposed of without the tes timony of a medical man, and inquired of Sergeant Merritt, 8 P, who attended before the coroner, whe ther such had been the case, but That officer replied in the negative, and said that since the inquest had been held there were rumours in circulation in the neighbourhood which rendered it very desirable that a further inquiry should take place. On hearing this Mr. ELLIOTT said he should re mand the prisoner to a future day, when he should expect the whole of the witnesses before him. The father of the deceased hoped that the body would be exhumed, and a proper surgical examina tion take place before the next investigation. Mr. ELLIOTT observed that he had not the power, as the prisoner was not charged with being concerned in the death, to order this, but he had no doubt the authorities of Lambeth parish would, on the applica tio❑ of the father, permit the body to be exhumed and examined. On the application of Mr. Hobler the prisoner was admitted to bail in two sureties in 1001. each. THAMES. William Smith, aged 63, a tall, gray-haired man, dressed like a yeoman, who did not utter a word . during a very long investigation, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with being concerned, with two others not in custody, in stealing 1531. from Mr. George Gibson, an engineer of High-street, Poplar. The prisoner was described as a farrier, of Cotton street, Poplar, but he is a well known " magsman." A box of artificial eyes, a scent bottle, a gold watch and chain, a pair of spectacles, and some other property were found upon him. Mr. Gibson said—l have lately arrived in England from Calcutta, and have been staying at the Captain of Man of War Tavern, in High-street, Poplar. I have known the prisoner eight or nine days. He was in the practice of coming into the coffee-room and conversing with me, and he learnt that I had a good deal of money. Yesterday morning I had occasion to call upon Mr. Miller, of the firm of Miller and Ravenhill, engineers, at his private residence, St. John's Wood. lam a stranger in London, and I said to the prisoner the night before, that I had to go up to St. John's Wood, Marylebone, and asked him to direct me the way there. He wanted the address, which I gave him, and appointed to meet me at the i Yorkshire Sti ngo , i n th e N ew - roa d, a t 2 o 'clock n the afternoon, on my return from St. John's Wood. go , After giving me thi s di rect i on ( t h e Y or k s hire Stingo), he left me. After leavingtin and was partaking of St. John's Wood yesterday I went to the Yorkshire S some bread and ch eese an d ale at the bar, when the prisoner joined me . W e h a d some ale together, and went away arm-in-arm untill we reached Oxford street, when I said, "I know where lam now." He proposed to adjourn to a public-house, where we had FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT - BRISTOL, SEPT. 2.—A brief announcement appears in The Sun of this day of a fatal colliery accident which occurred yesterday afternoon at one of the Kingswood collieries, situated about four miles from this city. From inquiries on the spot, and at the Bristol Infirmary, where several of the sufferers were removed, the following details of this calamitous occurrence have been gathered. It appears that the accident happened at the Deep Pit Colliery, belonging to Messrs. Brain and Co., which is situated about half a mile from the Starveall Pit, belonging to the same firm, where it will be remembered some months since a dreadful boiler ex plosion took place, which resulted in the loss of seve ral lives. The routine business of the colliery pro ceeded as usual quite safe yesterday till about half past two or a quarter to three o'clock in the afternoon, at which time " a turn" of nine men were being hauled up the main shaft. The names of the men were—Bryant, Stone (married), Joseph Parker, Stephen Newman, John Parker, George English, John Bright, William Wiltshire, and Nathaniel Dix. They were drawn up in safety as far as " the stage," their accustomed landing place, at the mouth of the shaft, when just at that critical period, it is stated by the engineer Stone, the bolt of the reversing handle of the engine broke short off. He was instantly aware of the perilous nature of the consequences which were likely to ensue, and he caught hold of the " eccentric rods," and endeavoured to lift them. He also turned off the steam. Finding he could not lift the eccentric rods, he called out to a ma n (G eorge King) to come an d help him, but before they could be lifted the accident happened, the cart with the poor men being drawn right up over the "shiver wheel," and then dashed to the ground, a depth of 25ft., the iron cart crushing them in the fall. The men, as soon as they were passing the stage, saw their danger, and two of them, Bryant and Stone, jumped out, and for tunately escaped uninjured. Another poor man, Stephen Newman, also jumped out, but must have miscalculated his distance, for he fell short and was precipitated right down the main shaft, a depth of 147 fathoms. Of course he was instantly dashed to pieces ; his body was discovered a little after four o'clock, dreadfully disfigured, so as to be scarcely recognizable. The other poor fellows were also much crushed by the heavy iron cart which fell with them, and which weighs about 3f cwt. The " cart," or iron bucket, on looking at it this morning, was covered with blood. They were immediately placed in carts, in as easy a position as possible, and conveyed to the Bristol Infirmary. The two worst cases are those of Nathaniel Dix and George English. Dix was found to have sustained a compound comminuted fracture of both bones of the right leg, fracture of the right thigh, extensive lacerated wounds of the left leg, contusion of the scalp and other parts of the body. His leg was amputated last night by Mr. Morgan, one of the surgeons of the infirmary. English sus tained a fracture of the skull, and an extensive wound of the cheek, extending right across through the lip, also severe contusions and injuries. The recovery of these poor men is extremely doubtful. The injuries of the remainder of the men who were precipitated to the ground with the cart consist chiefly of very severe contusions. On an examination of the broken bolt of the re versing handle of the engine, the immediate cause of the accident, there does not appear to be any flaw iu it. The engine, too, was, generally speaking, in good order. The broken bolt had been placed in the hands of Samuel Osborne, the blacksmith of the pit, prior to the investigation into the circumstances which must take place. Notice of the fatal accident had been forwarded to the coroner, Mr. W. Joyner Ellis, and after he has given the noti ce requ i re d by Act 0 Parliament to the Secretary of State, an inquest wil, be held. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BRISTOL. At about two o'clock on T ues d ay morn i ng a mos t alarming fire was discovered to have broken out in Red cross-street, St. Paul's, Bristol, one of the most densely populated portions of the city, and which of course al most instantaneously spread terror and alarm through out the neighbourhood; and from the courts and houses were to be seen the male and female inhabitants rushing forth in almost a state of nudity. Upon inquiry it was ascertained that the fire was raging in the extensive workshops of Messrs. Laverton and Co., cabinet-makerts and general furnishers, and which are completely sur rounded by dwelling houses. The alarm having been given, the police engine, and . the engines belo ng i ng to the various insurance companies, were speedily upon the spot; but from the highly inflammable nature of the materials and stock. and the premises being very old; all endeavours to arrest the progress of the devouring ele• ment were useless, and by 3 o'clock th e w h o l e were in one vast sheet of flame, illuminating the horizon for miles, and distinctly visible from all the heights surrounding the city. The whole of the premises and valuable stock, were totally destroyed. After the most searching in quiries, the cause of the fire remains enveloped in mys tery, inasmuch as there had been no fire in the polishing shop, where it originated, for more than a week; nor had there been any fire whatever on the premises during the whole of the afternoon of yesterday. The foreman of the works, Mr. Collins, states that ho examined the premises on Monday evening, and found them all sate. Whatever the cause, however, the consequences have been lamentable, as the whole of Messrs. Laver!ou's valuable stock, to the amount of upwards of 2,0001., to gether with all the tools belonging to the eigl - teen work. men employed, valued at nearly 2001,, were burned. The premises, which are valued at about 8001., have been entirely destroyed. We understand that the premist a are fully insured in the Alliance office; but the workmen are totally uninsured, and the Messrs. Laverton to only 5001. in the Sun office. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY, -The pro prietors at their next meeting are to consider the question of making a contract with the Bangor and Carnarvon Railway-, now in progress of construction, for the use of the former railway. LAMBETH. After the other business of the court had been dis posed of, Matthew Williams, a well-dressed young man, of rather respectable appearance, and who had been brought from the Mansion- house, was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of receiving a silver pencil-case, and other articles, the property of Mr. Henry Isaacs, from a young woman named Mary Ann Boreham, with a guilty knowledge that they had been stolen. Mr. Gilham appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Hobler for the defence. Mr. Gilham having briefly stated the outline of the case, called Mr. Henry Isaacs, a City officer, and officer to the Committee of London Bankers, who stated as fol lows :—About the middle of July last I missed several articles from my residence, 157,I,Fenchurch-street, and my wife, in consequence, spoke to a young woman named Mary Ann Boreham, then in my service, re specting them. My wife told me— Mr. Hobler—You must not tell us what your wife told you, as that cannot be evidence against the prisoner. The magistrate having ruled this in Mr. Hobler's favour, The witness, Mr. Isaacs, said—On the 15th of August the young woman Boreham disappeared from my service, and, from what I had beard, I on the Monday following called on the prisoner at the place of business of his master. Mr. Byass, a wine merchant, in Langbourne-chambers, which is nearly opposite to my residence, and where he holds th e s i tuat i on of messenger: On seeing him, I said, " Matthews, do you know anything of my servant girl ? " and his reply was, "I never saw the girl." I then left; but from what I subsequently heard, I went back, and saw the prisoner. Addressing him I said, " Mat thews (for such was the name I ca ll e d hi m ) , you know where the girl is, I am certain, and if you do not tell me, I shall see Mr. Byass." The prisoner re plied that I might, with pleasure ; and I went into Mr. Byass's office. When the pri soner was ca ll e d i n , Mr. Byass, upon being informed of the circumstances asked the prisoner what he knew of the affair; upon which the prisoner began to lau g h, an d hi s master checked him, and remarked that it was no laughing affair, but, on the contrary, a very serious matters and requested me to put such questions to him as I might think proper. I then said, "Did you ever see the girl ?" He replied, "No." I then asked if stie had ever given him anything, and he replied that she had given him an apple. I then said, "I have lost such a description of articles as are likely to come into the possessi on o f suc h a person as you, ,, and produced a card containing a list of the things, and stated what a part of them were. The prisoner then said, " I havegot the slipper-tops, they were given to me by a young woman of the name of Hannah, a servant to Mr. Swift." I asked him his address, and he said "fl, Church-street, Kennington," but added that he also lived at Hanscomb-crescent, Union-row, Clapham, for be had hardly removed. I then said " I shall take you into custody for having in your possession things that have been stolen from me," and I did take him into custody. At the station-house he was searched, and a cigar -case was found in his breast pocket belonging to me. I have since seen the pencil •case, penknife, and the worked slipper-tops, found at the lodgings of the prisoner, and also a gold pin, found on a young woman at Camberwell, to whom the prisoner had given it, and identified all as my property. On the 27th of August I received in formation that the girl was discovered drowned in a pond near Brixton, about a mile and a half from the prisoner's lodgings, and at a place where she had never, lam convinced, been before. The shawl, apron, shoe, and bonnet produced were those worn by the girl when she left my house on the 15th of August, and the pin, pencilcase, and some other ar tick ir on safe. I have spoken of, were stolen from a small safe. City police-constable Charles Dodd, 511, deposed to finding the articles produced on the person and at the lodgings of the prisoner.
