The agricultural labourers shall be employed on the lands of the State. " 10. Schools and other institutions shall be estab lished in the palaces of the princes and the mansions of the rich. Children shall be brought up and edu cated gratuitously." THE FETE A T BRUSSELS. BRUSSELS, FRIDAY, SEPT. 26, MIDNIGHT.—This day is the last of the festivities with which this city has commemorated the epoch of its independence. Even at the hour I write the crowds that throng the square of the Hotel de Ville, or the Boulevard d'An vers, are yet on their way home ; they still linger near the scene of the splendid fireworks, and still ad mire the illumination of the building which is so en deared from its historical association with the Bruxel lob. The Hotel de Ville of Brussels is so well known that any description would be superfluous. Of all the buildings of Brussels not of a religious character, it is certainly the one that presents the greatest inte rest both as a work of art and as a historical monu ment. Its tower, bold and graceful, rising to the height of 370 feet; its delicate open work ; its hall, where the rich guilds of Brussels were wont to as semble; its saloons, where the states of Brabant were wont to congregate; the buildings in front that witnessed the terrible punishment of the Counts of Egmont and Horn by order of the stern Duke of Alba; the Bruidhais, near at hand, where the dread ful night that preceded the execution was spent; the window where, it is said, the inexorable Viceroy be held their execution ; in feet there is not an inch of ground, not a stone in that square that does not tell some wild tale of the past while the house of Austria held dominion in Brussels. The facade of this grandest cf those municipal palaces with which the Netherlands abound, is this night one blaze of light. The escutcheons, the shields, the painted, the graven, and sculptured em blems of ancient municipal or baronial persons, that cover its front, are delineated with the utmost accu racy with lamps of many colours. The houses with the Gothic facades that form the square, the old pa laces of the wealthy burghers of the Netherlands, are similarly decorated ' • flags wave from every balcony and housetop; and festoons of lamps presenting the triple colours of the banner of Belgium, run in curious tracery all round. Bands of music perambulate the streets, playing select passages from the favourite operas ; or, more grateful still to the Flemish spirit of the old town, the national airs. Many private houses in the neighbourhood of the Hotel de Ville, particu larly the Montagne de la Cour, rue de Madeline, des Fripeurs, &c., are also illuminated. Tnn great display of the night, however, is that of the fireworks on the Boulevard d'Anvers; and there, long before the hour appointed, the mass of the popu lation of Brussels assembled. The darkness of the night, the heavens only dimly lighted with stars scarcely seen through the haze, is most favourable for the display. From every quarter of the city end the surrounding villages humau beings are pouring, and the banks of the canal of Anvers, the grand basin, the borders of the Seim, are lined with spectators. From the gate of Scheerbakte the canal on one side, and to the Boulevard da l'O'eservatoine on the other, is one mass of people. Detachments of troops of the line, infantry and cavalry, are stationed here and there to preserve order and maintain the passage free. This duty they perform, however, with the greatest ease, as it would be difficult to find a more orderly population. Every one seems in good humour, and desirous of remaining so. The fireworks began precisely at the hour indicated, half-past 10 o'clock. The first rocket that shot up was hailed with the loudest acclamations by the multitude, and the shouts of joy increased as the dazzling meteors traversed every part in the heavens until they became one vast sheet of flame. This display lasted till half-past 11 o'clock ; it was admirably executed, and does great credit to the pyrotechnists of Brussels. The effect produced by the blue lights, in the brilliancy of which nearly every faco in the multitude could be seen, was very fine. At half past 11 all again was dark, and the multitude began to move away ; and before midnight the Boulevard d'Anvers and the Porte de Schaerbak were pearly as lonely as they usually are at such an hour. Numbers of persons go to take a last look at the Hotel de Ville, and then each one to his home. The display closed the files of Brussels. Yesterday took place the distribution of medals of honour to recompense acts of courage, devotedness, and humanity during the past year. The ceremony was held in the ancient temple of the Augustines ; at one extremity a gallery was appropriated to the members of the Royal Family. The Princes arrived at one o'clock, and were received with demonstrations of the greatest respect. The Count of Flanders oc cupied the royal box, and the Duke of Brabant took his place in the fauteuil. The whole of the Ministers were present. The Minister of the Interior opened the business of the day in an excellent speech in praise of those citi zens whose conduct rendered them deserving of re ward. The medals, which were of gold, silver-gilt, and silver, were then distributed by the Prince Royal to those who most distinguished themselves during the inundations of 1850. Pensions were also granted to them on the Ceisse de Retraite. The ceremony lasted till five o'clock, and at their departure the Princes were again acclaimed with the greatest en thusiasm. Two n::::13 were given in the coune of the evening—. one by the Royal Society of the Grande Harmonie ; the other by the municipality in the hquare of the Hotel de Ville. Tht, King entertainsd at dinner the directing com[nittee of the Exposition, the jury, and the other artists who contributed to the grand fete of the 24tb, both native and foreign. The King, the Count of Flanders, and the Princess Charlotte-, presided at one table, and the Duke of Brabant at the other. His Alajesty and the Princes conversed often and with much atT4ility with every one present. The foreign artists were the object of particular attention. The fine - ot weather likioated these iigreging fee j :.. THE SUN, from the commencement. The ball in the open air last night was, however, interrupted near its close by a heavy fall of rain, which commenced about eleven o'clock, and continued nearly the whole of the night. But the following morning was cloudless as the pre ceding ones, though the rain chilled the air. The day held up well to the last moment. These fetes will be long remembered with pleasure. Brussels has not been so crowded for many years, and the hotels must have made a golden harvest. The city will to-morrow, no doubt, resume its wonted appearance ; as, even at the late hour at which I write, I hear in all directions the note of preparation for departure by the morning trains.— Times. INQUESTS. SUICIDE THROUGH SUPPOSED JEALOUSY.—On Saturday Mr. H. M. Wakley held an inquest at the Talbot Tavern, Agar Town, St. Pancras, on the body of Thomas Sanders, aged 52, a bricklayer, residing in one of a row of cottages near the above house, called Cambridge Cottages, who committed the fol lowing act of determined suicide. It appeared that deceased, who was in comfortable circumstances, had for nine years cohabited with a female who recently suddenly left him, as he believed, to join another man. He had since been very de sponding, and on Tuesday morning last, not being seen as usual, the inmate of the adjoining cottage looked through his window and discovered him lying on the floor surrounded with blood, and an open razor by his side. Mr. Aldridge, surgeon, was sent for, when de. ceased was found to have nearly severed his head from his body, and although still living and every assistance having been rendered him, he shortly after ceased to exist. Verdict—" Temporary Insanity." DEATII FROM RECKLESS DRIVING.—On Saturday Mr. H. M. Wakley concluded an inquiry at the Uni versity College Hospital, commenced on a previous day, relative to the death of Frances Netershell Moore, aged 41, the wife of a paperbanger, living at 49, Wilsted-street, Somers Town, who died as alleged from injuries received in being knocked down by a horse and cart, driven at a furious rate, by a youth named Thomas Perkins, in the employ of Mr. Dickens, butcher, Camden-road Villas, Camden Town. It was also stated that the deceased, who was an habitual drunkard, was drunk when knocked down, which opinion was partly confirmed by the assistant-surgeon and nurse of the hospital, who expressed their belief that on her admission she was intoxicated. -KII:WARLEY said he could not help observing upon the reckless way in which butchers rode and drove their horses through the streets, as though empowered so to do by law. Six of the jury were for a verdict of manslaughter, but eventually one was returned as follows :—" That the dece2sed died from injuries received from a horse and cart driven at a furious rate, but whether that was from the misconduct of the driver, or the horse running away, there was no evidence to show." Per kins was then cautioned and censured, and the inquiry terminated. REVIVAL or INFANTICIDE...-011 Saturday Mr. H. M. Wakley held an inquest at the College Arms, Camden Town, on the newly-ban infant of Jane Smith, a single woman, in the service of Mrs. Dick • enson, Pakenham -street. Mrs. Dickenson said that she suspected Smith had given birth to a child, and interrogated her upon the subject, when she admitted that she had, said the in fant was in the pail which was half full of water, and in which she (Mrs. Dickenson) found the body. Smith begged forgiveness. Dr. Sheeting examined the body, and found that the child had breathed freely ; and the organs were healthy, but that the brain was congested from a blow or fall. He could not swear whether death resulted from the head or drowning. Verdict—" Deceased was found dead in a pail of water, but whether it was wilfully murdered or not there is no evidence to prove." Mr. Wakley held a second inquest at the College Arms, on the body of a child found wrapped up in a brown psper parcel, in a ditch in Swan's-lane, Highgate. Dr. Brougham said that the child must have been twelve months dead. The body was so decomposed that he could not say whether death was caused by violence or otherwise. The leg was broken. Verdict—" Found dead." SUICIDE OF AN INNKEEPEII.--012 Saturday Mr. C. J. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, assembled a jury at the King's Arms, Eltbarc, to inquire into the circumstances attending the death of Mr. James Styles, aged 55, late landlord of the Chequers Inn, Eltham, Kent, who committed suicide on Tuesday morning last. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Edward Sty lea, son of the dccewed, that his father bad been attending to the business as usual up to twelve o'clock on the night before his death, and shortly after that hour he retired to bed, apparently in good spirits. At eight o'clock on Tuesday morning witness, as was his custom, took breakfast up to his father's bed room, and upon entering he saw deceased suspended by a rope about his neck from the bed post. The deceased was immediately cut down, but life was found to have been extinct some time. A few days previous to his death the deceased appeared very low in spirits, but on the night before the fatal act he had recovered his wonted cheerfulness. The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity." IMPROVEMENTS 1.11 7 BILLINGSGATE MARKET. The extensive erections at Billingsgate for the pur poses of the fish market are progressing rapidly. The elevation fronting the Thames already presents a prominent appearance. The dock in which the oyster-boats used to anchor while unladen has been filled up, and the front of the new market towards the water brought out flush with the Custom-house quay. The building is of brick, upon a foundation of Aberdeen granite, the corners of the clock tower and offices being orna mented with rusticated quoins of Portland stone. The passages to the market from the vessels are spa cious, the whole of the superstructure above them being supported by neat, substantial iron pillars, cast at the foundry of Messrs. Haywood and Company, of Derby. The towerin the centre of the front of the market facing the Thames is surmounted by a gilded flying fish, and in the body of it will be placed a clock of large dimensions, which will show the hours on each of the sides. The whole of the most un sightly building now standing, hitherto used as the fish market, will be taken down, and a spacious light iron and glass roof erected upon iron pillars for the upper market. The new building is to be efficiently ventilated, and well cleansed daily by periodical flushing, the supply of water being so furnished as constantly to flow through the drains, the water-closets, and urinals. The surface drain., both in the upper and lower markets, are intended to carry off the filth and water from cleansing the fish, &c. These will have a plentiful flow through them, to assist in its removal, and to keep them perfectly sweet. The water for these pur poses it is proposed to draw at once from the river, engines and pumps being employed to force it to the heights required. The pure water it is proposed to obtain by sinking a perforated cast-iron cylinder into the bed of the river, so that the water will become filtered as it percolates through the stratum of gravel, in which the cylinder is placed. This is the same kind of system as that adopted foranotber purpose by Messrs. Calvert and Co., at their brewery, and which has been found to answer admirably. The whole of the above supply will be pumped from the river by an oscillating engine, which will also work a set of pumps for relieving the market of the sewage water and other impurities, to be conveyed into the river at low water, under the bed of th e river. The market being enclosed on three sides, and the lower market (which, when finished, will be used for the sale of shell fish, &c.) having only the well holes for the admission of light and air, it has been thought advisable to provide moans for efficient ven tilation, as it could be done in connexion with the general improvement of the market at a trifling in crease of expense. The plan, upon a principle pa tented by Mr. Bessemer, is to be accomplished by a ventilating disc, which will draw off the foul air from the lower and upper markets, while it is calculated to be highly beneficial to both in producing a current o air in close or sultry weather. The cost of the ven. tilation, water supply, &c., is estimated at 1,8401. THE N. rEW NATIONAL GALLERY. The following is a copy of the report of the Com missioners appointed to consider the question of a site for a new .I.\ ational Gallery : " Mice of Woods, &c., July 15, 1851. "My Lords,—ln compliance with your Lordships' directions conveyed to us in Mr. Hat'ter's letter of the 26th of March we have considered the question referred to us—namely, an eligible site for a new National Gallery. " The evidence olitainßl in the session of 1850 by a Committee of the House of Commons in regard to ti e present National G:7,llery, and the report of a Com mission appointed in the preceding year to examine into the state of the pictures, have convinced us that no site will be so far suited for this purpose as to justify a large outlay of public money in the con struction of a new g a llery unless it shall combine the follJwing advantages : " An insulated position, where the gallery . may be s!eured from the obstruction of light and air occa 'l°Leri by nei g hb ou ri ng b u ilding s , and where addi tional Epac 9 may hereafter be provided for the increase of the colle ct i ons, or for the other departments of art which it may be deemed desirable to unite with a National Gallery, " A sire which m a y b e eas il y access ibl e to v i s i tors resorting thither on foot and in public conveyances. " It these conditions are a d m i tte d to b e indispens able in the selection of a site, it is obvious that the chnice limited, and other c ons id erat i ons h ave bean LONDON, pressed on our notice, tending still further to reduce the number of the sites which we can venture to re commend. practice just exposed, which was carried on to an enormous extent opposite the Post- office. The LORD MAYOR said this was a most serious matter . of complaint, not only on account of the dis appointment so largely experienced by the public, but on account of the great facilities afforded by the ex isting practice for the commission of robberies by mere children. The temptation thrown in the way of boys who were constantly employed by newspaper agents in delivering the papers was most improper, and it was quite time such a system was prevented. The prisoner was then remanded. Valeri Sulterkowski, the Pole, who was on Friday charged before the Lord Mayor with having stabbed a recruit of the Royal Artillery, named John Rock ley, in the foot with a knife, was brought up fur final examination. " The neighbourhood of the royal parks would supply some of the above-mentioned requirements, inasmuch as they would secure the gallery, at least on one side, from the obstruction and inconvenience of adjoining buildings. " There are, however, objections to the vicinity of Regent's-park on account of the clay soil, which is thought to be unfavourable to the preservation of pictures, and not to be selected while preferable situ tions can be obtained. " The dry soil of Hyde-park and Kensington na turally attracted our attention. ' " These large open spaces not only afford a present security against the inconveniences to which the gal lery is exposed, but they are the only grounds which remain safe for future years amidst the growth of the metropolis. " From information which we have received we believe that from 15 to 20 acres of land, with a front age to the park, might yet be obtained at a reasonable price, which would afford a space for the construction of a gallery on an eligible site. "If the outlay necessary for such purpose be deemed inexpedient, it appears to us that no eligible site can be obtained except by appropriating for this purpose a portion of Kensington-gardens. " There is ample space for a gallery, and for any future additions, on the side of the gardens adjoining the Bayswater-road, as marked in the plan, and there are at present no residences which would be injured by the construction of such a building. "These gardens are of such value for the health and recreation of the inhabitants of the metropolis that any interference with them, even for this impor tant national purpose, may be deemed objectionable. It may be observed, however, that the adjoining gar dens would not only add to the beauty of the building but would also increase the attractions of the gallery. " The dryness of the soil and the comparative free dom from smoke would favour the preservation of the pictures, while the distance from the more crowded districts of the metropolis would be less felt on account of the beauty of its approaches. "There is another space marked on the plan as a paddock between Kensington Palace and the Bays water-road, which also attracted our attention, but the appropriation of this ground to the purpose of a gallery would, although it is not within the boundary of the gardens, necessitate the removal of many beau tiful trees, and interfere to a greater degree with these grounds than the site previously mentioned. " Between these two sites, therefore, we beg to express our decided preference for the one already referred to adjoining the Bayswater-road. " SEYMOUR, COLBORNE, C. L. EASTLAKE, WILLIAM EWART, R. WESTMACOTT. "The Right Hon. the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury." The prisoner was committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court. ATTEMPTED BURGLARY. HEROIC CONDUCT OF AN OLD LADY.—Between the hours of one and two o'clock on Sunday morning last a daring attempt was made to force an entrance into the cottage of an independent old lady, named Willis, living near the Addlestone station, by two young men named Collyer and Tovey, both of whom were shortly afterwards apprehended by Police-constable Ayling, No. 35 of the new county constabulary. On Monday afternoon the prisoners were examined at the office of Mr. Grazebrook, magistrates' clerk, at Chertsey, before the Hon. Captain Cavendish, and fully committed for trial. From the evidence taken it appeared that the prosecutrix (wbo is upwards of 70 years of age) re tired to bed on Saturday night between the hours of eight and nine o'clock, there being no person but herself in the house, and she having previously fastened the doors and shutters. During the night she was awoke by the breaking of glass. She got out of bed and went to the top of the stair case. She then saw a man looking through the back bed-room window. She asked him what he wanted there, and told hisa to go about his business. She then saw another man, and both of them tried the back door, saying, " Money they wanted, and money they would have." Almost im mediately afterwards she heard them at the front sitting-room window down stairs. They were en deavouring to cut through the shutters with a knife. She tied a piece of string to the handle of the shutter, which she held with her left hand, whilst with her right she used a long iron candlestick to prevent the knife coming through the shut ter. She then returned up stairs, and found that they were trying to open the window over the front door. This she prevented their doing, having previously armed herself with a sword walking-stick. She told the villains that if they eame in they should have it. She also told them to recollect the Frimley murder. She had previously thrown them out a shilling and some bread and cheese from one of the windows. She had recognised the features of one of them (Collyer) to be those of her next door neighbour. She said to Collyer, " Oh Tom, oh Tom, you worthless boy." She then heard a scrambling noise, as if they were running away. During the whole of this time the constable above alluded to (Ayling), who had watched the parties to the premises, had taken off his shoes, and concealed himself in the garden. Tovey was ap prehended by him at the time, and Collyer about an hour afterwards by the same constable. The pri soners contented themselves by a mere denial of the charge, and were, as above stated, fully committed. The old lady is in the receipt of an annuity, and had taken her quarter's money on the previous Thursday, a circumstance which, it is presumed, had come to the knowledge of the rccused parties.—Sussex Express. MORE THAN A CENTENARIAN.—AR elderly lady, named Power, who is now in her 110th year. was sojourning during the early part of this week, at the Clifton lintel. She had just returned from visiting the Great Exhibition ! The old lady appeared to be in excellent health and spirits.— Bristol Mirror. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 27. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evils's.) IN RE FERNY AND GARD. The bankrupts were woollenarapWsin St. Martin's lane. This was the last examination meeting. Mr. DEFREE, for the assignees, complained of an omission from the balance-sheet of 1001., but did not see any advantage in adjourning the meeting; they thought also the bankrupts' expenses were under esti mated. The COMMISSIONER said he could allow the bank runt to amend. Mr. AsnunsT, for a creditor, said he had no desire to press an adjournment, but thought it right that the matter should come before his Honour. After a short examination of Feeny by Mr. AsnuasT, an amendment in the balance-sheet was ordered. The following are the items in the balance sheet from April, 1849, to August, 1851 :—Creditors, 3,423/ ; liabilities on bills receivable, 6211.; liabili ties on bills for which they had not received conside ration, 164/. ; profits, 9111.; debtors, good, 570/. ; cash and bill given up to assignees, 823/.; trade ex penses, 1,3831.; private expenses, 3541.; losses, 1,1511. The bankrupts passed.. IN RE PAUL. The bankrupt, J. Paul, of Oxford-street, milliner and straw hat dealer, came up to pass his last exami nation. The accounts from March, 1849, to August, 1851, show the following :—Creditors, 2,6911.; ditto holding security, 658/. ; liabilities, 125/. ; profits, 1,046/. ; debtors, good, 129/. ; doubtful,. 68/. ; property, 991. ; premium paid on lease of premises, 3501. ; repairs, 330/. ; trade expenses, 680/. ; rent and taxes, 371/. ; interest and discount, 1981. ; law expenses, 93/. ; house and personal, 1,0651.; losses, 7701.; deficiency 31st of March, 1849, 2241. Mr. POLLEN, for the assignees, asked for an ad journment. The bankrupt's expenditure had been very great, by his keeping so many milliners in his employ, and the assignees wanted an account of the sales during the last six months. Mr. LINK — LATER said, in justice to the bankrupt, he must say that the books had been very accurately kept, but he would not oppose the adjournment. Adjournment ordered. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. William Moore, a boy 13 years old, was charged before the Lord Mayor with having stolen news papers. Mr. Phillips, from the office of Mr. Peacock, soli citor to the Post-office, attended on the part of that establishment, in consequence of the vast number of robberies committed in the neighbourhood by persons employed by the newspaper agents. It appeared in evidence that on the previous afternoon Knight, City policeman 437, while on duty in Cheapside, saw the prisoner, who was carrying a bag containing news papers over his shoulders, take one out and tear off the direction and put it in his pocket. He then un folded the paper and put it under his arm. Witness followed him to Honey-lane market, where he took out another, tore off the direction and threw it on the ground. The officer picked it up and followed him to the Post-office, where the prisoner delivered the eon. tents of the bag, and afterwards went to St. Martin's le-G-rand and sold the two papers. The officer then ' took him to the Bow-lane station, where he found on , him the other direction of the second paper, and an ardor upon the bunking-house of Messrs. Glyn and Co., addressed to Mr. Kiddell, for 201. 13s. 4d., which had been taken out of the post-box of Mr. Kiddell, in Mark-lane, after the postman had left it, no doubt by th e prisoner, who served the house with papers daily. The prisoner was in the employ of Mr. Osborne, newspaper-dealer, of Change alley. Mr. Phillips said the Post-office was int.n dated with complaints from all parts of the country of the non arrival of an immense number of newspapers, which it was obvious did not arise from any neglect mismanagenint at the Post-office, but from the MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 29, 1851. the road to a public-house, and after watching them safely into it I started in pursuit of the prisoner Tucker, whom I stopped and demanded what she had in her apron, to which she replied, " Nothing," and upon then asking her where the other two women were whom I bad seen in her company only a few t minutes before, she affected much surprise, and pro fessed not to know what I meant. I lost no time in lodging her in the station, and on reaching it asked her to open the apron she was holding with one hand under her shawl, and the instant she did so two rolls of lace, one cotton, the other silk, rolled down on the floor. I asked her where she got them, and she said she did not know, and on asking her how many yards they contained respectively, she again acknowledged she did not know. I then hastened off in the direc tion of the public-house I had seen the other two women enter, but before I reached it met Homer and Connell coming towards me. I stopped them, and asked them wher e th e thi r d woman was I had seen with them before, and Homer replied, " I don't know what you mean." I said, "Oh yes, you do perfectly well ; I saw you all three together a few minutes back at Newington ;" and she replied, " Well, if you say so you must, I suppose." One then described herself as a milliner at Birmingham, from which she had only come three days before to see the Exhibition, but the other declined to give any address, upon the ground that it might disgrace her friends, who were highly respectable. I thereupon told them that they must consider themselves in custody; and having taken them to the station-house also, they were all three examined by the female searcher, who discovered the property produced upon them. Harriette Kemp, the female searcher at the Kings land station, stated—About half-past eight o'clock yesterday evening the three prisoners were brought to the station-house in custody, and I was directed to search them. I first searched Tucker, and upon her I found, in addition to the lace before mentioned, the thirteen pieces of silk and satin riband produced, a roll of silk velvet, a pair of ladies' cashmere boots, a quantity of black buttons, and a new pair of fancy garters. Upon Connell I found the piece of worsted lace produced, a piece of black net lace, a quantity of tape, a pair of ladies' gloves, a money-purse con taining ls. 2d., and a cambric handkerchief; and upon the third woman, Homer, I found a purse containing 4s. 6d. in silver, three halfpence in copper, and the pair of gloves produced. Francis Smith, shopman to the prosecutrix, Mrs. Hunton, on his affirmation stated—About half-past 6 or 7 last night the prisoners Homer and Connell entered our shop to examine some goods, and I saw them looking at the black lace box, which was placed on the counter before them for their inspection. The piece of black cotton lace produced, containing 26 yards, and the roll of black silk lace produced, con taining 61 yards, I know to be our property, as I saw the silk lace safe in its box in the morning, and the other also in its box in the course of the afternoon. The witness added that the robbery must have been effected with great dexterity, as the property had not been missed, and he had not the slightest idea that it had been stolen until the detective officer called and produced it before him. - On being called upon for their defence the prisoners who bad listened to the evidence against them with the greatest composure and indifference, declined saying anything in answer to the charge, and 'they were ordered to be remanded until Friday next, to give the police an opportunity of tracing the owners of the rest of the property discovered upon them. CLEI?KEIV WELL. Three most ruffianly-looking, strong-built young fellows, named Snow, James, and Powell, were placed at the bar, charged with a murderous assault, with intent to rob Mr. James William Blackwell, a gentle man residing at 3, Percival-street, Clerkenwell. The prisoners were captured by Wright and Scho field, two very meritorious officers of the G division, who, no doubt, saved the prosecutor's life. Mr. Blackwell, whose person exhibited evidence of severe violence, deposed that at midnight he was on his way home, near the Lower-road, Islington, when he was stopped by one of the prisoners, who asked him for alms. He gave him some copper money and went on, but had not proceeded many yards when he was assailed by the three fellows in custody, and knocked down, the ruffians then endeavouring to strangle and plunder him. He struggled with them, receiving at the time many severe kicks and blows, which severely bruised and lacerated him, and he must have fallen a victim to their violence had it not been for the arrival of the officers, who succeeded, after a considerable and daring resistance, in apprehending the ruffians. Several constables recognised the prisoners as be longing to a most daring band of thieves who were the terror of the neighbourhood where the offence was committed. APPOINTMENTS. SHIP NEWS. The prisoners were fully committed to Newgate For trial. GREENWICH. Three persons of the names of Stonehouse, Isaiah Lucas, and Stephen Lucas, connected with provincial newspapers as reporters, were charged at the Green wich police-court with using insulting language to Dr. C. W. Moore, one of the poor law guardians of the Greenwich Union, at a meeting of the guardians in the workhouse on the 15th of September. Stonehouse and Isaiah Lucas denied having used the words imputed to them, and Stephen Lucas ad mitted that the words were used by him. The MAGISTRATE accordingly discharged the two former, and bound the last-named in his own recog nisances of 401. to keep the peace for six months.

Captain Lord Adolphus F►taclarence, G.C.H., visited Woolwich Dockyard to-day, and was accom panied by Commodore Henry Eden and Mr. Lang, Master Shipwright, during his inspection of the cabins fitted up on board the Rattler steam-sloop, for the ac commodation of Major-General Frederick Fazcla rence, Commander-in-Crief of the land forces in the Portsmouth district, who takes a passage in that vessel to the Island of Madeira.

The Lady Franklin and Sophia, searching vessels, recently returned from the Arctic regions, were paid on Friday last by Captain Penny, who gave each of the men 10/., and told them the remainder would be waiting for them to receive at Aberdeen and Peter head on their return home—a very judicious plan of payment to prevent those who might have been so inclined spending all they had to get at once, or be deprived of a large portion of it when under the influ ence of drink. Rear-Admiral Sir John Ross visited the Admiralty to-day, having arrived at Stranraer, in the Felix, on the 24th inst., from the Arctic Regions. GRAYESEISTD, SEPT. 28.—Wind light, fine.

Flour has been much pressed for sale, and low and irre gular prices were consequently in some instances sub mitted to, whilst oatmeal, being in more plentiful supply, was taken less freely, at reduced rates. The arrivals of oats and oatmeal from Ireland at Liverpool exhibit a steady increase, amounting this week to 3,256 quarters of the former and 6,806 loads of the latter, but of other articles they are extremely limited. Coastwise, with the exception of about 1,000 quarters of malt, there are no supplies worth naming; but from abroad the imports of wheat, beans, and Indian corn are to a fair extent, and large of flour—namely, about 7,000 sacks of French and 70,000 barrels of States and Canadian. At our market this morning somewhat more firmness was manifested as regards wheat and flour, and although the amount of business passing in these articles was on the whole only to a moderate extent, there was less anxiety to sell on the terms which would have been accepted during the week. New oats must be noted the turn cheaper, and oatmeal, of which more liberal supplies were offering, receded in value fully 2a per load. NOTTINGHAM, SEPT. 27.—The reductions submitted to in our market during three successive weeks had a similar effect upon the markets at Worksop, Retford, Mansfield, and Newark. At the corn exchange in the town last named, on Wednesday, there was greater ac tivity than for some time past, although upon the exten sive supplies there was a further reduction in value. In wheat, which continues to be presented in good condi tion, there was a fall of Is. per quarter as compared ' with the Wednesday previous. Malting operations have partially commenced in this district, which is an old and very considtrable business in the town and neigh bourhood. Samples were moderately plentiful, at a re duction of is a quarter. The business in oats and beans was again but nominal. We have had a very small attendance of farmers at our own market to-day, and much less wheat offering than for the last two or three weeks. The millers being more induced to buy, last week's prices were readily made, and in some instances for fine samples an advance of is per quarter was ob tained. Barley was offered at a decline of is per quar ter, without leading to much business. In oats and beans no alteration. Wheat, white 38s to 41s, red 35s to 38s. Barley 22s to 255. GLOUCESTER, SEPT. 27.—The supply of English wheat continues good, but the r ecen t decline is main tained, and there is not much business doing in foreign. English white wheat is only saleable at 4s 6d to 4s 10d per bushel, and red 4s 4id to 4s 7icl. Foreign must be quoted at 3s 9d to 4s 9d per bushel. Good malting barley realises 27s to 29s per imperial quarter, and grind ing 213 to 234. Old English oats 228 to 245; new 18s to 20s; and Irish 188 to 20s per quarter. Old b eans 3 s 8d to 4s; new 3s 4d to 3s 6d; French 33 to 3s 4d; and Egyptian 38 to 38 3d per bushel. Good boiling peas 4s tci 4s 4d per bushel, and 3s 7d tQ 35 9d RI gray. GUILDHALL. Mary Anne Graveur, a native of Brussels, was charged before Alderman Sidney with stealing ten notes of ten guelders each, twenty of 20f. each, four of 25f. each, twenty gold guelders, a gold brooch, and wearing apparel, value in all 501., the property of Mdlle. Flora Dupenheim, now residing in Alfred place, St. John's-wood. The prosecutrix said she came from Brussels six months ago to see the Great Exhibition, and brought over the prisoner as companion and servant. Having stayed eight days at an hotel, she sent the prisoner to engage lodgings, and she engaged two rooms at 115, Fleet-street, to which prosecutrix removed. On the 19th of April the prisoner rose at five o'clock in the morning, and came to the prosecutrix with the gold watch from the drawing-room, stating that the ser vant was eleaning the room. Prosecutrix waited in her bed-room till about nine o'clock, when the land lady informed her that the prisoner had left at eight o'clock, taking away with her two bonnet boxes. Witness then discovered that the property and her best apparel had been taken away. She saw no more of the prisoner then, and she went to Amsterdam, where she stayed several weeks, and then returned to London. Two months ago she met the prisoner in Buckingham-street, Strand, and saw her wearing a flowered silk paletot which witness had missed. She threatened to fetch a policeman. The prisoner said she would fetch one. Witness then went to Fleet street station for an officer, but on returning to Buckingham-street she found that the prisoner had decamped. Edward Salter, 64, said he received information of the robbery on the 19th of April, but was not able to find the prisoner until she was brought into the sta tion on Saturday by a metropolitan constable, who had taken her into custody at the prosecutrix's re quest. The prisoner, in defence, said that prosecutrix was a thief, and that the Paris and Brussels police were searching for her in London, and that prosecutrix had dresses and jewellery of hers. She denied heing a servant, and said she bad been engaged by prosecu trix as interpreter. Alderman SIDNEY remanded the prisoner for fur ther examination, and to ascertain if the property could be discovered, as it was not found in the pri soner's possession. BOW-STREET. Four women, severally named Julia Devine, Ann Mingay (alias Lady Mansfield), Jane Owen (alias Black Jenny), and Ellen Smith were brought up on remand, charged with having robbed a Mr. Anstice of 351. Another woman, named Maria Burns, was brought up at former examinations, but there being no evidence against her she was discharged. It appeared that on the night of the 9th inst. the prosecutor met the prisoner Mingay at a public house in Drury-lane, where they drank together for some hours. The prisoner Smith then joined them, and they got into a cab, and drove to Newcastle court, Strand. It was then daylight. They went to a house close by, and were then joined by the pri soner Owen. Some more liquor was then bought, and they all remained drinking together for some hours. Another woman was in the room at the time, but the prosecutor could not recognise her. After some time he became insensible, and did not recol lect anything more until he found himself in the staeet. It was then evening. He then discovered that he had been robbed of two 101. notes and about 15 sovereigns; be immediately gave information to a constable. He received the two 101. notes in part payment of a cheque at Messrs. Currie and Co.'s, banker's, Cornhill. Charlotte Alexander proved having seen the prose cutor at the house, 20, Little Shire-lane, Strand, on the day in question. She stated that she saw him lying on the floor, apparently asleep. The prisoner Owen was then in the room. After that she heard a noise as of some one being dragged down stairs, and on looking out of window saw the prosecutor stand ing in the court. Thomas Harrison, assistant to Mr. Foot, linen draper, Warwick-street, Pimlico, said that on the 10th inst., about seven o'clock in the evening, the pri soners Owen, Devine, and Burns (dicharged), went to his master's shop and purchased some articles, which Owen paid for with the 101. note now pro duced (No. 19,267). Owen said her name was Stir line', and witness wrote that name on the note. Roderick Lord, assistant to another draper, deposed to having received the 101. note, No. 19,266, now produced, from Owen, in payment for some goods. 0 wen wrote the name of Graham on the note. Mr. Charles Simmons, clerk at the banking-house of Messrs. Currie and Co,, proved paying the two notes to the prosecutor on the 9th inst. Sergeant Bashford, F division, said that on the evening of the 10th inst. he saw the prosecutor in Newcastle-court, and in consequence of what he stated to him he took the prisoners into custody. Mary Ann Davidson, who keeps a lady's dress warehouse, stated that on Wednesday, Sept. 10, late at night, three women, one of whom was 0 wen, went to her shop and bought a dress and other articles. The dress was the same which the prisoner Devine now bad on. The prisoners all denied having robbed the prose cutor. An attorney who appeared for 0 wen requested that she might be admitted to bail, but Mr. JARDINE declined to do so, and fully coin. mitted them all for trial. LAMBETH. James Nelson, a young lad about 16, was charged, on his own confession, with stealing a watch, the pro perty of his aunt. Police-sergeant 15 D said the prisoner came to the police station and gave himself up to witness, stating that be had stolen a watch, and that since then he could not be easy in his mind. He locked him up, and ascertained afterwards that his story was true. Several witnesses were called, who proved that they had seen the watch in his possession, and that he said he stole it from his aunt. The depositions were taken, and the prisoner was committed for trial. The Hon. Mr. Norton received 31. on Saturday morning for the Misses Flora and Helen Eickes, of 18, South Lambeth, whose distressing application ap peared in The Sun of Saturday, their chief object, however, being to obtain situations as governesses in respectable families. WESTMINSTER. George Stutchy, late a carman in the employ ment of Mr. Philips, wholesale oilman, Stratton ground, Westminster, was charged with extensive em bezzlement. The accused entered Mr. Philips service at Christ mas last, and recently absconded, when it was ascer tained that he had decamped with several large sums of money. Information was given to the police, and the prisoner was captured on Friday evening at Gravesend, on board the Athenian, emigrant ship, bound for Port Philip. Evidence having been given clearly establishing one case against the accused, the police solicited a remand for the production of others. The accused entreated the prosecutor's mercy, and offered to enter into an arrangement by finding sure ties to make good all deficiencies if he would withdraw the charge, as his wife and an aged mother were on board the ship, whioh would sail for Australia on the morrow. Mr. BRODERIP inquired the number of cases against ;he accused. Mr. Philips replied that he believed they were not less then 30, and the embezzlements might amou n t t o _ _ . 00/. Mr. BRODERIP remanded the prisoner for a week. WORSHIP-STREET. Maria Tucker, 37, Catherine Connell, and Sarah Homer, 32, three very showily dressed women, were charged with the following dexterous robbery at the shop of Mrs. Fullerton Hunt linendraper and mercer, in Church-street, Stoke Newington, and also upon suspicion of being engaged in a systematic plan of shoplifting at numerous other places. Sergeant Langdon, one of the detective officers of the N division, said, I was on duty in High-street, Stoke Newington, about seven o'clock last night, when my attention was attracted by the suspicious conduct of the prisoners, whom I had seen privately conferring together, and lurking about the shops of various tradesmen, several of which two of them entered, leaving the third each time, appa rently to watch against detection, outside. After observing them in this way for some distance I saw Homer and Connell go into the shop of the prosecutrix, Mrs. Bunton, the prisoner Tucker re maining in the street, and in the course of scarcely two or three minutes they came out again and walked deliberately down the street, without taking notice of Tucker, but were followed by her at a distance until they reached the turning, when all three joined toge ther again, and I distinctly saw one of the two who had gone into the house of the prosecutrix pull a parcel of some kind from under her shawl and hand it to Tucker, who instantly thrust it into an apron she wore, and walked on ahead of /the other two very Tapi24l7. ];lower and Connell at the same time crossed NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PROMOTION. Lieutenant George Le G. Bowyear (1840), late first lieutenant of the Meander, 44, paid off from the Pacific, has been promoted to the rank of commander. Although an officer of old standing as a lieutenant he is young as compared with many first lieutenants now serving, who served from 10 to 12 years as a mate. Commander Bowyear entered the service in 1830, passed his examination in 1836, and was pro moted in 1840. As a lieutenant he has served in Racehorse, 18, Pilot, 16, and Meander, 44.—Herald. Major Johns, R.M., of the Ganges, 84, has, by the advice of the surgeon of the ship, invalided, not having recovered from an attack of fever at Malta. Captain Trent Payne, R.M., of the Superb, 80, is also coming home to study gunnery on board the Excellent. These officers left the fleet at Palma Bay on the 15th, in the Oberon steam-packet, for Malta. Bellerophon, 78, Captain Lord Paulet, was docked on Saturday, at Portsmouth, to have her bottom examined and cleaned. It was extremely foul, and we have seldom seen an iron vessel with such filth on her bottom. Three cart-loads of mussels were taken from ber ; but she has not been docked for five years till now. She will probably come out of dock on Tuesday. She requires about 200 men to com plete her crew. She will fill up and proceed to the Mediterraneau, and man and take charge of the Her cules, 72, that will go to Malta, as receiving -ship at that port. Dauntless, 33, screw steam-frigate, Captain Hal stead, went out of Portsmouth on Saturday last at noon ; Rear-Admiral Prescott and family, and a large party of gentlemen and ladies, friends of Captain Halstead, went out in her. The Dauntless has re ceived her increased masts and yard, which no doubt will be a vast improvement to her. She bas also re ceived her new armament ; on her upper-deck she has 10 long 32-pounder guns of 42 cwt., and one 68-pounder pivot of 95 cwt, On her maindeck she 18 eight-inch guns, and four long 32-pounders of 56 cwt. She has all her stores on board, and four months' provisions, three months' bread, six months' spirits and groceries, &c., for 330 men. She was tried along the measured mile in Stokes Bay, when her mean speed under steam was ten knots; with the wind it was 10.619 ; against the wind 9.924 knots. Her speed would have been greater, but there was a very fresh wind blowing during the time of trial ; her engines were working at from 294 to 314 strokes per minute, somewhat under their proper speed. Altogether the trial was most satis factory, and the Dauntless is now considered by naval men to be the finest and most effective full powered screw steam-frigate afloat ; sbe anchored at Spithead after the trial, and will probably sail about the lat or 2d October. Desperate screw-steamer, in charge of Mr. Brown, with Mr. Dinnin, chief engineer, on board, is daily pursuing her trial, going out for Plymouth Sound in the morning, returning at night. As she was return ing on Thursday evening, the wind fresh from N.W., she fell in with the smack Dart, of Looe, laden with granite, in a sinking state, having shipped a quantity of water, and the sea making clean breaches over here She was taken in tow by the Desperate, and hang sent to man her pumps, and safely taken into Cat water, when the Desperate returned into harbour for a supply of coals, which she took in on Friday. Mr. Humphreys, late chief engineer and inspector at Woolwich, arrived at Devonport on Thursday, and has been on board the greater part of the day. Vulcan iron troop-frigate, Master-Commander Penn, is out of the hands of the dockyard depart• went; she has coaled, and on Monday will swing her compasses, and about the 2d or 3d o f O cto b er w i ll proceed for Cork, to take on board troops for the Cape. The new steam-vessels, one a 28-gun screw-ship, after the lines of the Tribune, building at Sheerness, and a paddle-wheel sloop, after the lines of the cruiser, building at Deptford, announced by us some time since to be built at Pembroke, are to be called re spectively the Curacea and Harrier, both old Royal Navy names. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 28.—A Norwegian corvette anchored in Cowes Roads on Thursday, and sailed today. Recent instructions have been issued by Dr. Sir W. Burnett, Director-General of the Medical Depart ment of the Navy, enjoining every assistant-s-argeon of the fleet, even when serving under a surgeon, "to keep a journal, in which be s to enter, in brief but At Cirencester the av e r age p r i ce of wheat sold stss3sl per quarter.
