FRANCE. A. member of the Council-General of the depart ment of the Oise has proposed the following reso lution :—" The undersigned, considering that the stability of the GJvernment is indispensable to the consolidation of order—without which no true liberty, no security for families, no guarantees for property, can exist—has the hon our to p ra y the Council-General to adopt a resolution for the abrogation of the 45th article of the Constitution, when its revision shall be demanded." The 45th article refers to the non-re eligibitity of the President of the Republic. At Orleans white wine has risen from lf. to 2r. the hectolitre. At Migllol3 the wines of the department of the Rhone have risen from 4f. to 51. The accounts from Burgundy are bad.. The . grapes are not increas ing in size, and it . will require constant fine weather to produce an ordinary crop. There has been no rise of price in Paris, but sales are more easily effected than they were last week. SUPPRESSION OF THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE. (Fcom tho London New Price Currant of yesterday.) It affords us great pleasure to announce that our Government has at last come to the determination of using the most energetic means to pat a complete and final stop to the African slave tr sde ; and that they have the power of accomplishing tl its object, does not admit of any question. First, either by com pelling the Governments of Spain an d the Brazils faithfully to carry into effect their treaties with this country for the abolition of the trade ; or, secondly, by directing a more efficient force than they have hitherto done against the slavers themselves. The evidence taken before a Committee of the House of Lords for the suppression of the slave trade, with the report of that Committee, which was pub lished last month, throws more light on the subject than any previous publication; moreover, it shows that the accomplishment of the final abolition of the trade is an object of much easier attainment than has hitherto been supposed. It becomes, therefore, a matter of much importance to consider, what effect a complete suppression, or even a further limitation, will havo upon our colonial interests. The importance of this question will at once be seen by a reference to the amount of sugar and coffee pro duced in the Spanish slave colonies, and in the Bra zils, which would be more or less affected by the complete or partial abolition of the slave trade, viz. : Sugar. Coffee. In Cuba .......220,000 tons ... 8,000 tons. „ Porto Rico.. 50,000 ... 10,000 „ Brazils ....100,000 ... 85,000 THE LEGITIMIST CONGRESS AT WIESBADEN. The proceedings of the Legitimists at Wiesbaden and elsewhere continue to attract a great deal of at tention in Paris. Oa Saturday M. I3erryer arrived from his visit to the Count de Chambord at Wies• baden, and in the course of the day attended a meet ing of the committee of permanence, which was held in one of the committee-rooms of the Assembly. The following letter, which appeared in the Siacle, gives some details of the intrigues going on, which will be found worthy of perusal : "TO THE EDITOR OF TEIE "SIECLE. " " Wiesbaden, Aug. 27. " M. Salvandy was presented on Sunday night to the Count de Chambord ; the assembly was numerous. Among the new arrivals we observed Marechal de Ra gusa and M. Valmy. M. Salvandy had a private con versation of some minutes' duration with the Prince in the recess of a window, and afterwards he mixed with the general company, He was very fluent and very agree able. The next morning M. Salvandy was received at a private audience, and in the afternoon he accompanied the Pretender to Bieberich, who that day dined with the Duke of Nassau. " M. de Salvandy was not a mere visitor; he repre sented at the little Court of Wiesbaden Orleanism and M. Guizot. Each distinguished man among the old monar chical parties had hero his ambassador: M. Mole was re presented by his son-in-law M. de Champlatreux; M. Guizot by M. de Salvandy; and M. Thiers corresponded with M. Berryer. " ' Our part, as of Orleans, has terminated,' as King Louis Philippe cften observed; ' we, for the future, can only be Bourbons.' This tardy conversion was not adopted by every one. The Queen of the Belgians, the Duchess d'Orleans, and the Prince do Joinville are, above all, much opposed to every attempt at reconciliation. On the occasion of his last voyage to St. Leonard's, M. Guizot was desired by the ex-King to see the Duchess d'Orleans, and endeavour to make her understand that taking the more enlarged view of the interests of the Count de Paris they ought to bring about a union with the Count do Chambord. M. Guizot as sented to the suggestion, and demanded an audience of the Duchess d'Orleane. The Duchess instantly re ceived him, but five minutes had not elapsed after M. Guizot had fulfillei his commission when Mme. de Lobau suddenly entered the room, and thus broke up the con ference. M. Guizot wished again to take up his subject, boe the Duchess suddenly stopped the Ambassador, ex clais-ning Mine. la Mare :hale does not like to listen to po li t ical conversation. If you wish it, we can renew the interview' at another time.' M. Guizot, having been so sadly receiN-ed, did not think of asking for a second audience, but returned to Paris. "In the sam e journey, M. Guizot was entrusted by Louis Philippe w i t h a note, which, in case of the death of the latter, would pre hably be regarded as his political testament. In this document were laid down the bases and the conditions of the fes:on between the two fami lies; and I am enabled to assure -, you in the most posi tive manner that M. do Salvandy arrived at Wiesbaden w ith this note of M. Guiz ) t i n his pecket. What were • th e conditions laid down by Louis Philippe and M. Guizot, I am ignorant at present; but it is very probable that I shall obtain a knowledge of them at this place within a few days. " The council of the Count de Chambord required, above all, on the part of the Orleans family, the formal recognition of the Pretender as the legitimate head of the House of Bourbon. This recognition was to be effected by means of a collective letter, or by individual letters, addressed to the Count de Chambord, in which he assumes the name of Henry V., as the Count de Provence assumed the name of Louis XVIII. during the period of his emigration. Louis Philippe, the Duke do Nemours, the Duke d'Aumale, and the Duke de Montpenaier were disposed to subscribe to these conditions, provided that on the other side of the Rhine they would accept the bases of the document of M. Guizot. But, as I observed just now, the Prince de Joinville and the Duchess d'Orleans, encouraged by the Queen of the Belgians, obstinately refused any compro mise, and thus held in check the party of the fusionists. " But whether the fusion takes place or does not take place—whether M. Salvandy succeeds or fails in his embassy—the council of the Count de Chambord is de termined for action. I know, from an undoubted source, that a sum of two millions is disposable for the wants of the party. " There exists at this moment at Wiesbaden, besides the colony of French Legitimists, a battalion of persons decorated with crosses and ribbons of all colours, who come cue knows not whence, and who, under the ap pearance of indifference, as drinkers of the warm tsa•ers or as players fur amusement, hare the eyes of eagles, and their ears stretched out to every keyhole. These are the characters which we want fur carrying out intrigues and fur playing a secret game ; this hybrid class bslong to secret bodies?, and are half diplomatists and half spies. They are at all the flees, all the subscription balls, and all the con certs. They speak French, English, and German, and always find an ingenious mode of addressing observa tions to you without knowing you, and cf talking with everybody. They are great distributors of cigars to the men, and passers of elegant compliments to the women. They are Legitimists here, Orleanists there, and even occasionally Republicans. They affect a sort of lite rary and political dilettantism, which can hardly deceive the least clear-sighted. They begin with speaking to you on the war of the Duchies, or on the differences between Prussia and Austria. so as to lead you to con verse on the affairs of the Count de Chambord, on M. Berryer, or on the mission of M. Salvandy. You need not know anything respecting the curious and sha lowy policy of the small German courts to compre hend that all these unknown personages are the secret ambassadors of these courts at the Legitimist Congress. They register the names of those who arrive and those who depart, and they endeavour to learn what has been said respecting the presentations in the morn ing and at the levee in the evening, and they have their confidants in the Hotel Deranger when they cannot go there themselves. On Sunday last all this excitable body were in the clouds on the feet becoming known of the arrival of M. de Salvandy. They rushed, one after the other, to the Post-office Hotel, to learn whether it was true that the old Minister of the Govern ment of July had arrived, and on being assured in the affirmative by the master of the hotel, they with huste prepared and deposited notes in the letter-box. Nothing can be more curious than the appearance of these ex citable people, who are rendered attentive by a name, and who are tot a dr_tionieg by a word pronounced at hazard. " Last night I went to Cursaal, with a Prussian whom I had formerly known at Paris, and whom I recently met at Mayence, where he is in garrison. Would you like me to introduce you to one of the important person ages of the principality?' Who is this person?' I re plied. is the Minister of Police. It is that brave man you see walking tranquilly, with his fiends behind him, under the arcades of the colocuad".' I ac cepted the oft r of my friend, and we aproached the good-humoured looking Fouch‘ of the Duke Adolphus. After having couversed for a few minutes on indifferent matters, the conversation turned en the manifestations of the French Ithinegraves, in the air of ' Vivo Henri Qiatre,' sung in their drunken orgies, and in the cries of Vive le Rei,' put forward every day at the tables d'hote. 'ls there no fear,' I asked of the bead of the police, of embroiling yourselves with the French Republic by such proceedings?' Abe he an swered, smiling,' we pre so insignificant; besides, we are • not politicians, we are only cooks.' The Minister of the Pollee of Nassau thus made intelligible to me in a word the diplomacy of his august Sovereign. " The other small Governments of Germany, and not merely those who are only cooks, are much engaged in discussing the route which the Count de Chambord will take on quitting Wiesbaden. It was said he would return to Frohsdorff, by Munich and Stutgardt, as the King of Wurtemburg was disposed to receive the P r i nce favourably; but it was decided at the same time not to allow him to reside in these states if he took with him a numerous suit. The King of Wurtem. burg is a prudent prince, who, without liking overmuch the French Republic, does not wish, however, to place himself on ill terms wit it, and desires as much as possible to be in friendly relations with all the world. In France are publicists and statesmen who are always in some fear for the peace of Europe, and they, as it were, point their finger to the horizon, as to a menacing phantom. In foreign countries, however, we are all sur prised to find that, on the contrary, Europe is in fear from France. " I have also met with another fact during my resi dence in Germany—it is that, in spite of songs, odes, and German epopees upon The Free German Rhine,' the two banks of the Rhine are not only separated by the river, but the people by their different ideas. In vain Prussia and Austria may exert themselves to Germanize the left bank of the Rhine. They never can succeed. Austria and Prussia send upon left bank soldiers from the right bank, and thc eat wo Go vernments place in this country, which border on the frontier of France, Prussian and Austrian douaniers and functionaries far the government of these parts; but neither these functionaries, nor the soldiers, nor the deueni€ re can ever extirpate from the hearts of the popu lation of these provinces French ideas and the hatred of Austrian and Prussian domination. From Aix-la-Chapelle to Mayence French sympa thies are alone met with. When you visit the Cathedral at Cologne the guides say, with true effuiion, on press ing your hand, We speak not the same language, but we have the same hearts. Viva la France.' One of our following-countrymen not readily comprehending a hat they said, believed they only intended it as a simple mark of politeness, and responded to it by the cry of Vise Germany !' But the guides, who were mixed with a number or the inhabitants of the town, instantly ex claimed, ' No, not—not Germany; France, France.' This scene excited in us a lively emotion, and it was re newed on several occasions when we weto On the left bank of the lthine." 370,000 tons 103,000 tons As some of our readers - may not have an opportu nity of perusing the evidence taken before the Com• mittee, we shall here notice some of the more im. portant parts upon which the witnesses were examined, premising that we believe a very erroneous impression is prevalent throughout the country. Ist. As to the power of the British cruisers to put down the slave traders; and, 2317 —As to the expense it is said to cost the country to keep the squadron upon the coast of Africa. With regard to the first point, it appears that since this country embarked in the suppression of the slave trade, they have succeeded in accomplishing that object upon the whole coast of Africa, north of the equator (except in the Bight of Benin), extending to about 1,500 miles. Further, that our cruisers have succeeded in cap turing no fewer than 637 slave vessels within the last ten years. Various suggestions have been made for the com plete suppression of the slave- trade—among others that of using screw. steamers; and all the witnesses concur in stating that, with little or no additional ex pense, but with a different distribution of the crews and vessels to be employed, the slave-trade could be completely and finally put down. And, 2dly.—With regard to the expense of keeping up the African squadron, it has been erroneously supposed to cost annually about 500,000/., whereas last year it was only 166,8841. (See pag e 147 of the Report). Moreover t he ex p enditure of this sum is the means of protecting a legitimate trade along the coast of Africa of great value to this country, and which could not exist were the slave-trade carried on in the same localities. Both the Spanish and Brazilian Governments are bound by express treaty with the British Govern ment to put down the slave-trade, but in place of doing so, their officials have been actually conniving at its being carried on, many of the Go vernors of Havannah having exacted a certain sum per head for every slave that has been landed in Cuba. Under these treaties it has been suggested by Mr. Turnbull, who was Commissioner for some time in Havannab, in the mixed courts for the liberation of captured slaves, that power should be given to that Commission to declare all slaves free that might be landed after a certain specified period. It is quite out of the question to suppose that this country will longer tolerate the infraction of such im portant treaties by the Governments of Spain and the Brazils, when it is fraught with such dreadful re sults to so vast an amount of the coloured population of Africa, and attended with such destructive conse quences to our colonial possessions, by forcing the alternative upon our planters, either to abandon the cultivation of their estates, or to compete with the forced labour of the slave owner. We may here mention that we have good authority for stating, that the United States Government is about to adopt very energetic measures for putting down the slave trade, as it finds the competition in their own markets, of Cuban and Brazilian sugars, most injuriously interfering with the profitable cul tivation of sugar in Louisiana ; although protected by a duty of 3 cents per lb., or upwards of SO per cent. upon the value of the sugar imported. When the American planters, therefore, find it a dif ficult matter, with an abundance o f cheap slave la bour, to compete with the sugars of Cuba and the Brazils, it is no wonder that so many of our West Indian plantations should have been abandoned, with the certainty of others sharing the same fate, unless freed from the unequal contest with slave labour. Cheap sugar, however, is the watchword of the economists, no matter at what cost of human life this is attained. The destruction of 100,000 human beings in the interior of Africa, on the passage to and in Cuba and the Brazils—all this is fully compensated for, in their estimation, by havin g their tea sweetened at a farthing a pound cheaper th an could be done by free labour. We believe there can be little doubt that the French Government will also join in putting down this inhuman traffic • their colonies being now free , they find it impossible to compete with the slave pro ductions of Spain and the'Brazils. It has been estimated that the average annual mortality of the slave population in Cubs is from 5 to if per cent., so that the whole number would be come extinct in the course of fifteen to twenty years, except what is supplied from the natural increase from births ; but, as the inequality of the sexes is known to be very great, but little increase can pos sibly take place from this source. Finally.—As already noticed, the quantity of sugar produced in the Spanish colonies and in the Brazils being about 370,000 tons, and 103,000 tons of coffee, these quantities will necessarily become diminished, as the slave trade is gradually suppressed; prices will consequently advance, and thus give a stimulus to in creased production in all our colonial possessions. SIR J. FRANKLIN'S EXPEDITION. The United States brig Advance, belonging to the American expedition in search of Sir John Franklin, reached IN'halefi , h Nand, on the west coast of Green land, on the 24th of June, in 32 days from New York. The Rescue arrived on the 27th. A letter from a gentleman on board, published in the New York Herald, says : " On our arrival here we found an English barque at anchor; she is a store-ship, having brought stores and coal out for the squadron, which, by the way, saile€l from here yesterday, consisting of two barques of about 300 tons each, carrying sixty men, and steamers of about 100 tons each, with from forty to fifty men; they are all bound in search of Sir John Franklin. The barque tails in about a week fur England, which will give us all a fine cpportunity to write, the only one I am afraid we shall have for some time to clam. We have been very fortunate in sending letters thus far, for I boarded a vessel off Newfoundland, bound in to St John's, about the Ist of this month. We all sent letters by her. They went from St. John's by steamer to Halifax, and from thence to the United States. " After leaving New York, we kept company with the Rescue, by keeping under short sail, until the 19th ult., when, finding it impossible for her to keep up, we made sail and lost sight of her in a few hours. The days after leaving New York gradually grew longer until the 16th of this month (in 60 deg. 50 min. N. lat.), when we could really say we had constant day, so much so that we were able to steer without lighting the binnacle lamp, a thing I never saw before; but now we have sunshine the whole twenty-four hours. We have not got used to it yet, and hardly know when turning in time comes. You have no idea bow strange it appears to come on deck at midnight (or rather what ought to be midnight) and find it broad daylight, with the sun up. We still discriminate one twelve hours from the other, by calling them night and day, and appropriate the part we call night far sleeping, or rather a portion of it. " After leaving the coast of Newfoundland, we fell in with no ice until we were about tq make the coast of Greenland, when we found the icebergs in great numbers.

We expect to winter at Melville Isle, but that, of course, will depend on cir cumstances.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVEN LINCOLN COUNTY COURT, Aug. 22. HA.WSON (MISS V. PICKERING (NY )-INCONSTANCY Defendant (as if ashamed) remained silent, and then went on to say—l neglected my business and spent all my time with the plaintiff. I was often there very early in the morning.—(Laughter.) I never made any promise of marriage. During the year, for eight months, I took rzy meals with Miss Hawson. Since the intimacy has been broken off plaintiff has sent back to me a watch, a time-piece, a handsome canterbury, and some other things which I left at her house. Mr. Toynbee—Now I do not wish any secrets to be violated, but what was the reason the intimacy was broken off? Defendant—We had a bit of a quarrel. Miss Hawson took offence. She was often jealous, and when we quarrelled I went to Boston to get out of the way. When I came back, at her own expense she used to make me presents in little things, such as tarts, pies, and so forth, and said it was in return for my kindness to her whilst she was ill. She knew and acknowledged that I was a very kind man.—(Laugh ter.) At that time I was - never asked for any one of the articles now demanded of me. It is thr, e months since I was first asked to return them. A short time since plaintiff took me before the magistrates, and I was fined for what she called "an assault." The writing in the note I will swear is not mine. Plain tiff cannot produce a single " scrat" of a pen by me. My name is Pickering, and not Picking. Cross-examined by Mr. Quilter—Plaintiff sent a PUNISHED. This was an action of trover, to recover a certain number of articles, said to be in the possession of the plaintiff. The circumstances are curious. bfr. Quilter opened the case for the plaintiff, by stating that both plaintiff sad defendant lived in the Strait, Lincoln. Defendant was a native of Lincoln, and some few years ago he went abroad, and remained for a considerable time. In December, 1848, he formed an attachment to Miss Hawson, the plaintiff, or rather to her property. This attachment continued in existence for about a year, and during that time defendant obtained from plaintiff, at various times, goods, moneys,and articles,amounting in value to 131. or 141. After a while the attachment was broken off, and then the plaintiff claimed, and had a right to have back, the articles obtained by Pickering ; and as they had not been restored, the present action was brought to re cover either the property itself or its value. It was supposed that as Pickering kept a broker's shop, many of the articles obtained had been disposed of, and some of the property was known to have been sold ; therefore it was deemed advisable to bring an action of trover against the defendant, to recover either the property or its value. The list of articles had been presented to the defendant, and he had been asked to deliver them up, when he answered, " I have got the goods, and will keep them." If neces sary, he could call Miss liewson to prove that defen dant took the property, and the person who demanded the goods could speak most particularly as to the an swer received from Pickering. After Pickering received the summons he took it to Miss Hawson himself, and said it would be desirable that the matter should be arranged between them, for he regretted that things could not be kept secret, and it would be better not to make the matter public again. Afterwards the defendant in duced the plaintiff to make some endorsement on the summons, but what was written he (Mr. Quilter) could not tell. Prior to this endorsement being made plaintiff received the following letter from defendant : " Now, Harriet, I will give up your things and money, provided you will do as Mr. Toynbee and Mr. Andrew say. They say, sign the two sum monses, and it will be decidedly best to settle all dis putes on both sides, and will put an end to the dis turbances." Mr. Toynbee, for the defendant, put in the endorse ment ; it was as follows : " Harriet Hawson is happy to say that her affair with Mr. William Pickering is amicably settled. August 15, 1850,"—(Laughter.) Mr. Andrew would beg to say that it never was by his authority that such a note was sent. He had never seen either of the parties about the affair. Mr. Toynbee also denied having given any authority. Mr. Quilter—No matter, the defendant has not given up the things, and we now sue him either for the property or for its value. There is a second action to recover 61. lent money, but that must be heard afterwards. Miss Hawson was then called, and produced a list of the articles she sought to recover from the defen dant. Amongst them we noticed a gold ring, 11. 103.; toothpick, 2.i. ; black silk handkerchief, ss. ; silver snuffbox, 11. 10s. ; gold watch ring, ss. ; two gold seals, 11. 16s. 6d. ; purple checked waistcoat, 75.; (a variety of other waistcoats); a geld key, 7s ; silk um brella, 1 la. 6d. ; three pairs of white stockings, ss. 61; carpet bag, ls. 6d. ; pair of gold spectacles, 141. 6d. ; bird cave, 7s. 6d. ; gloves and baby basket, 25.; ostrich shell, e 'sa. ; a flute, a variety of linen, can dlesticks, snuffers, &c. Plaintiff said—These articles I saw either taken be, or delivered to, the defendant, during the year 1848. Pickering had, or feigned, an attachment to me during that year.—(Laughter.) The defendant lives about '2OO yards from my house. The gold ring I recollect he took from out of my dressing. case the first time he was in my house. The total amount which the articles are worth is 13/. The note (before given) I will swear is in Pickering's handwriting, and I will swear I received it from him. By the JUDGE—The gold ring Pickering obtained the first time he came into my house. Cross-examined by Mr. Toynbee—The gold ring was taken out of my dressing-case, and not out of my dressing-table. I do not know what conversation passed when these things were taken, though the words were not too tender to repeat in court to•day. —(Laughter.) The waistcoats and some other things I saw the defendant take. We were at the time on friendly terms. He was a good deal at my house. There was a strong attachment between us at one time, and it might have been stronger. I made no objection to' his taking the things. The note I will swear is in Pickering's handwriting (reference was made to the note said to be from Pickering, and it was found to be signed "Picking"). I cannot account for the wrong spelling, without it is done on purpose. The following note was then put in and read : " Lincoln, August 15, 1850. "My dear Mrs. Dawson,—Your son William wishes me to write a few lines to you to tell you the affair is settled amicably between ourselves; a little spite was shown on both sides, and all we both could do, Wye would bo the strongest.—(Laughter.) What is there to «pal it when it's sincere ?—(L iughter.) For all things went so far as they did, I would rather have suffered in any way myself than him; that's my feelings towards him, and that he knT.vs. Will you be kind enough to tell his brother Samuel, that he may not have the trouble on Saturday to come, and to the newly-married couple I beg to offer my sincere congratulations acd best wishes on the late present happy occasion. So with kind re gards to yourself and Mr. Dawson, believe me to remain yours respectfully, " HARRIET HA.WS ,N." Plaintiff then said, I allowed defendant to take the things, but they were not presents. Mr. Toynbee—Then you made him the loan of a baby-basket—was there any reason to suppose that ha might require it ?—(Laughter.) Plaintiff remained silent. Mr. Toynbee—l know these questions are un pleasant. Plaintiff—You can ask just what questions you please, and I shall answer if they, are respectful. Mr. Toynbee—That will do. Then I suppose ycu are disengaged now ?—(Laughter.) Plaintiff con tinued—l purchased the japan coal-pan at Mr. Web ster's. Pickering did not give it me, and I never said that he had. He never made me any present at all. I did sign the summonses, and agreed not to bring on the case. Pickering agreed to return the things if I would sign the summonses. I am not in the habit of going to his house. The baby-basket was my poor mother's. Mr. 'Toynbee—l am instructed to say that you gave the defendant the baby-basket to keep his shirts in ;is that so ? Plaintiff—l am not at liberty to an swer that question. Defendant got a good deal of my linen. Ile is a broker, and I sin a pawnbroker. I should not like to explain all that took place between defendant and myself. Ido not know anything about a report that I was going to be married, but I now know that we are not going to be married. his false tongue over-persuaded me to think that we should be married at the time he was taking all my goods away, or else he would not have had them. The JUDGE—Did he propose marriage ? Plaintiff —Yes, your Honour, he did. By Mr. Quilter—l am a lone woman, and had every advantage taken of me by the fellow, [even to the last extremity. Mr. John Mason, superintendent of police, was called, and said—l waited upon the defendant with a list of the various articles, and read it over to him. I then made a claim for the articles on the part of Miss Hawson. Pickering replied that they were pre sents to him, and he should not give them up. Mr. Toynbee ad tressed the jury on behalf of the defendant. The case for the plaintiff was, that the goods had been taken without any kind of authority whatever. The jury were asked to believe that the plaintiff gave no consent at all, and yet in her exami nation she admitted that she had sent a variety of ar ticles by the servant to the defendant's house. lie would fearlessly assert that the articles were made presents of to Pickering in the course of his frequent visits to plain tiff's house, and this would be proved in evidence. It was not until the connexion was broken off, not until of er some street rows had taken place, that plaintiff demanded back the articles and money given to the defendant. He should prove an interchange of presents between plaintiff and defendant. He should prove that they were living together ; and he could prove the closest intimacy between them. Whether or not the goods were given to Pickering under the impression that, by marriage, possession of them would again be obtained, he could not tell. All they knew was, that the articles were given. He could not tell whether the gold spectacles, the baby-basket, and similar things were given or no with an eye to the future, in the hope that some of them mi g ht be re• quired. He conceived it to be very wrong for Miss Hawson to make presents of this kind, buoying her self up with hopes that were of an illusive nature, and never destined to be fulfilled. Miss Hawson, in the fulness and abundance of her affection, made presents, and now, in the spirit of revenge, he feared, demanded them back again. With regard to the letter said to be written by Pickering, he (Mr. Toynbee) was in structed to deny the authorship—the whole of it was a forgery—and this assertion was supported by the fact that Pickering's nama was not attached to it, but it was signed " Will. Picking." William Pickering was called, and said—l admit I received articles as presents from Miss Hawson, but I made her presents to three times the amount.

Defendant —She was ill for a long time, and fifteen dozen of porter was ordered at the request of Mr. Snow, her surgeon. Our acquaintanCe commenced last January twelve months. The first time I went into her house she sent for me, and requested to look at one of my parrots. Tea was on the table at the time, and she asked me to join at tea ; I did so, and since that time we were very intimate. Mr. Toynbee—Were there any other results from that intimacy that you have spoken of ? little girl to my house, and that was the reason why I went to her to settle the affair. I thought it dis graceful on Mi , s Hawson's part to bring the action. When I went into her house I arid, " What have you sent for me for ?" She smiled, and said, "I have not sent for you." I was going away when she looked at me—(Laughter)—and then she said, " Well, I do not know ; I shall not like to carry this into court, and I do not think you will." I replied, "I do not know what you want to take it into court for." She then talked about love and such like things, and other affairs, and agreed to settle the matter. She then said, " William, the ring you h ave was one J o h n Young gave me, and I should never have given it to you if I had not thought you were going to marry me." I said, " Harriet, I shall not give it up ; you know I respect you, and do what you will I shall keep the ring. Afterwards I went to my attorney and fetched the summonses, and she signed the memo randum read to-day. There was no understanding " whatsomdever" that I should give up the goods which I had ; but plaintiff said, "Lo! what will a woman not do for love," and she also said I might have all the little presents she had given me. lam sure lam not a married man. I have been twenty nine years abroad. I lived at l'ort Philip before re siding in Lincoln. I came from London. Mr. Quilter was about to ask some questions rela tive to defendant going abroad, when Mr. Toynbee made an objection. The JUDGE decided that such questions could legally be asked. Mr. Quilter—Did you pay your own expenses when you went abroad ? Defendant—Many persons go abroad who do not pay their own expenses ; and I do not know what other answer I need give. I was fourteen years of age when I went abroad. Mr. Quilter—Well, was it for seven, fourteen, or twenty-one years, or what, eh ? Defend'ant—Well, if you must have it, I was sentenced to fourteen years' transportation for dining upon a fowl. It was a very hard case. I was fourteen years of age, unprotected by a father, and hardly had a mother, when I was drawn in and asked to dine at a certain house. In consequence of this dinner I was tried and trans• ported. A witness took a false oath, and there are witnesses to prove it. After some further evidence the JUDGE summed up. The jury consulted for a minute or two, and then returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. This verdict was hailed with loud applause. The second action, to recover 61. lent money, was decided by the first. Datendant submitted to judg ment forthwith in both cases. Augustus Robinson,G t GUILDHALL. Iw.i was b r o ught POLICE INTELLIGENCE. up on Mon day on the charge of embezzling 95/., and uttering forged cheques to obtain the same, was again placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Finals for further examination relative to the charge of embezzling, the charge of forgery having fallen to the ground in consequence of the destruction of the forged cheques. Mr. Charles Keyser, the prosecutor in this case, stated that he had been unable to obtain any evidence relative to the forgeries ; but with regard to the em bezzlement, the clerk from Sir John Win. Lubbock and Co. was in attendance, who would prove the pay ment of the cheques alleged to have been forged by the prisoner. George Smith Anstey, clerk to Sir John William Lubbock and Co., said that on the 17th of August last he paid a cheque for 10/ , signed "C. Keyser." It was paid in gold, bnt he did not recollect to whom he paid it, or for what purpose it was drawn. Charles Chatham Lawrence, also a clerk to Sir John William Lubbock and Co., produced a waste book containing an entry in the handwriting of a clerk of the name of Briggs, who was absent from the bank on particular business, and consequently unable to appear. The entry was dated the 30th of July last, and was as follows : " Paid Charles Keyser's clerk 201." There was also a tnetnorandu'n sho Ning that the amount was paid in two 51. Bank of England notes, Nos. 78,407-8, and 10!. in gold. Prosecutor stated that 1 - ,e had but one clerk, and, therefore, prisoner must have been the party who received that amount of money, and more particularly so, as that was one of the cheques that was mi ssin g . Alderman FINNIS said that having the numbers of the notes, he (prosecutor) might, probably, be able to trace them to the prisoner, if they had been paid into the Bank of England; at any rate there was sufficient evidence to induce him to grant a remand should the prosecutor require it. The prosecutor appeared very indifferent whether the prosecution was proceeded with or not, and the only reply that could be got from him for some time was that "he would leave it in the hands of the Al derman to do just as he pleased with it." Alderman FINNIS said that if the prosecutor wished to press the case be could not refuse to assist him after hearing the evidence that had already appeared; but if he declined to prosecute, why then he must discharge the prisoner. After much difficulty the Court succeeded in get ting a definite answer from the prosecutor, and the prisoner was acc ordin g l y remanded until iriday. The prisoner made application that the money found on him, amounting to between Si. and Cl., and which was at present in the hands of the officer who took him into custody, might be given up to him. Al Lerman FINN'S refused the application on the ground that the money in all probability was a part of the proceeds of the embezzlement. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. George Gabriel Leehy, a man of respectable ap pearance, was brought before Mr. Bingham for final examination, charged with embezzling several sums of money, amounting to nearly 1,0001., received for and on account of his employer Air. Samuel Adding ton, woollen draper, No. 105, St. Martin's-lane. Samuel Appleton said—l am clerk to Messrs. Brice, Pearce, and Co., of No. 8, Craig's-court, Charing-cross, army clothiers. On the 12th of Fe bruary, 1848, I paid the prisoner a cheque for 20/. ls. on Messrs. Roberts , Curtis, and Co. On the 6th of ' May, in the same year, I paid him 59/. 17s. 101 On the 6th of September following, I paid him 201. 7s. 63. On the 17th of Fe bru ar y , 1849, I paid hi 491. 93. On the sth of May, in the same year, I paid him the sum of 351. 14s. 10d. On the Bth of September I paid him 161. ls. Bd., and on the 4th of November I paid him a cheque for 291. 83., for all of which the prisoner gave me the receipts now produced. The payments were all made on account of moneys due from my employers to the prosecutor. Edwin Ingle Dixey said—l am cashier to Stephen Winckworth, Silan, and Co., 66 and 77, Cornhill, elothiers and outfitters. On the 3d of June last I paid to the prisoner, on account of Mr. Addington, a cheque for the sum of 551. 16s. on Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, and Co. William Hurstfield said —I Bra clerk to Messrs. Brown and Co., No. 11, P r inces -street , Hanover of February last I paid square, tailors.

S-rgeant Moore, 1 B, the officer who apprehended the accused, was then put into the witness-box, to make some addition to his former testimony, and stated that, while conveying the prisoner to the sta tion at Pimlico, he entreated him to let him go, stating that he would make it all right with him. His (accused's) mother would give him .51. Mr. F. Cook, inspector to Mr. Macnamara, con tractor for the mail-carts, proved that the prisoner was in his employment, and had neglected to attend at the Post-office with his cart at 40 minutes past one on Saturday, the 17th ult., the day upon which he obtained the money, as it was his duty to do, and had not since resumed his duty, witness not having seen him until that day (yesterday). S-rgeant Moore said that he had called repeatedly at his lodgings and watched them day and night, but he never saw the accused until he apprehended him in Bloomsbury. Mr. Child addressed the Magistrate with his usual ability upon the case, and submitted that there was sufficient to justify him in asking for the prisoner's committal for trial. A solicitor, on the part of the accused, considered that there was nothing to reply to, contending that the charge merely amounted to a breach of trust, and that the whole of his conduct showed that no felony had been committed. Mr. Child reminded the advocate on the other side that his client's absconding, and subsequently run ning away from the officer when he saw him, were strong evidences of his guilt. Mr. Child then cited a case tried in 1838, in support of his opinion that the accused had been guilty of larceny, in which a drover sold a bullock which he had been entrusted to deliver, and in which the judges before whom the cage was tried pronounced the conviction of the offender by the jury to be good. Mr. BURRELL thought the case in some respects differed from the present. Mr. Child respectfully demurred to that opinion, and after expressing his view that if such acts as the prisoner's were to be deemed only a breach of trust, there would be no security for society, solicited a fur ther remand. Mr. BURRELL immediately granted the required remand for a week, and refused to accept bail for the accused. CL ERKEN WELL. Yesterday Daniel Scanlon, a powerful-looking Irishman, was placed at the bar, charged by Jane Carroll, a young woman, with having violently as saulted her. The prosecutrix, whose face was shockingly bruised and disfigured, and who was in a weakly state, said that she met with the prisoner, who represented him self as a single man, paid his addresses to her, and under a promise of marriage induced her to cohabit with him, and the result was the birth of two children, one of which died, and the other she placed at nurse. His wife came from Ireland, and on hearing of the prisoner's delinquency sympathised with witness and took the surviving child under her protection, whilst witness endeavoured to procure her livelihood by needlework. On the previous evening, feeling anxious to see her child, she went to the prisoner's house for that purpose, when the prisoner had some words with her, knocked her down, and whilst on the ground he kicked and beat her in a most unmerciful manner, until she became insensible, and was taken to the hospital, where she was restored to her senses. Police-constable 65 G deposed that he heard cries of " murder" in Caroline-buildings, Clerkenwell, where the prisoner resides, and found him ill-treating the prosecutrix, who was on the ground insensible. He took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner, on being asked what he had to say to the charge, with cool indifference admitted all the prosecutrix had said to be true. Mr. TYRWHITT told the prisoner he was a savage, cowardly, brutal fellow, and ought to be ashamed of himself. He fined him 31., or six weeks' impri sonment. Jane Wright, a handsome young woman, was charged with being drunk, and attempting to commit suicide. A police-constable said that on Monday evening he was informed that a young woman (the prisoner) was drunk, in Old-street, St. Luke's, and had at tempted suicide with a knife. He took her into cus tody, and a knife (now produced) was found in her possess i on . She said her mother resided at No. 3, Northampton- row,. Clerkenwell. The mother attended, and said a gentleman, re siding in Banner-street, St. Luke's, paid his ad dresses to her daughter, under a promise of marriage, seduced her, and abandoned her, which so afbeted her mind, that she left her home, and wandered about drinking. The prisoner, who was very dejected, on being asked if she would return home with her mother, cried, and said " She had been a good mother to me ; if I go home with her, I shall not stop with her." Mr. Cosine suggeeted that she should have a pri vate interview with her mother ; after which she con sented to return home with her, and they left the court together. LAMBETH. A fashionable-looking and fashionably-attired young man, named John Thornton, was placed at the bar for final examination. rine prisoner had been re manded from a former day, in order that more con clu\sive evidence of his guilt might be obtained through the active instrumentality of Sergeant Quin near, 1 P, to whom the magistrate had assigned the special duty of collecting the same. The prisoner, who is no business, trade, or profes sion, has continued for a length of time to live " right royally" by the indefatigable exercise of hi s t a l en t f or " victimizing." A multitudinous array of witnesses against him presented themselves in court. The first witness, Francis Ward, deposed as fol lows :—I am a chemist, and live at No. 14, Gros venor-street West, Eaton-square. Oa the 10th of August last, about two o'clock in the day, the prisoner came into my shop and asked for some patent-capped smelling-bottles. I showed him three. He asked me if I could send them to Mr. Kay's, No. 9, Lower Belgrave-street, as the lady who wanted one would wish to choose for herself. I said I would send them in half an hour. He said that would do, and left the shop. I went to No. 9, Belgrave-street, and. seeing Mr. Kay's name on the door, felt satisfied all was right. I sent the smelling-bottles shortly after by my boy, George Cater. I told him to bring back the bottles or the money. He came back in a few minutes and asked for a box of seidlitz powders. I gave them to him, and he shortly returned without the bottles or money. George Cater said —I am in Mr. Ward's service, and on the day above-mentioned I took a parcel to 9, Belgrave-street. As I approached the house pri soner walked down the stepq, and coming up to me in a great hurry, said, " Give me those bottles, my lad, and go back to Mr. Ward's and fetch me n box of seidlitz powders ;" which I did, but when I got back to Belgrave-street both prisoner and bottles were gone. Richard Kay said—l am a mercer, and live at 9, Lower Belgrave-street. I recollect that on the day in question prisoner came to my door, knocked, and asked for a Mr. Thomas. I told him no such person lived there, when he went away. He had not been gone more than three minutes when Mr. Ward's boy came with some seidlitz powders, and spoke about the smelling bottles. I never saw the prisoner before nor again until here to-day, but have no doubt as to his identity. His next " victim" was Mr. William Treacher Bolton, chemist, residing in Wells-row, Islington. The circumstances connected with " diddling" this gentleman were precisely the same as in the last case, with the exception of his taking nine smelling bottles from Mr. Bolton. The next " sufferer" was Mr. Robert Francis Ash, a printer and stationer, living at No. 5, Wellington street, London-bridge. Oa the 21st ult. he visited this person's shop, and having picked out four valuable Church Services, handsomely bound, directed them to be sent to No. 15, St. Thomas's-street, Southwark. Mr. Ash sent them by his servant, but the prisoner, as in the other cases, contrived to intercept the messenger, and having sent him back for another edition, in the meantime absconded. The prisoner having gone to pledge one of the Church Services at Mr. Russell's, a pawnbroker, 14, Frederick's-place, Old Kent-road, young Mr. Russell, in consequence of something which had occurred previously with regard to the prisoner, gave him into the custody of Constable Reynolds, P 359. Mr. ELLIOTT said he had heard quite sufficient to make Hal commit the prisoner to stand his trial for the several felonies. The prisoner declined making any defence. THAMES. William Sandham, a stylishly-dressed man, 0 gentlemanly appearance and good address, described as a tailor, residing at No. 3, Now North-street, Finsbury, was charged with sealing one penny, from the person of James Tighe, a respectable-looking lad about fifteen years of age, residing with his parents a 39, Arbour•fq"are, in the vicinity of this court. It appeared that on the previous evening the prose tutor, accompanied by a young friend, named Henry Gregory, of No. 4, Lucas-place, Commercial-road, went to Shadwell-bridge, to see a rowing match. Whilst there the prisoner put his arm round Tighe's neck, and made several observations on the boats as they passed. He then began feeling in Gregory's coat pocket, but took nothing from it. He next be gan to feel Tighe's pocket, at the same time directing his attention to a balloon which was passing over head, saying that it would be soon out of sight. He subsequently gave him a push against the rail, took his hand out of his pocket, and walked off. The lad Gregory saw him looking at something in his hand after he had taken it out of Tighe's pocket, and after mentioning the matter, the latter felt and found his penny was gone. They pursued the prisoner to the Commercial-read, where they spoke to Blake, 400 K, on seeing which the prisoner took rapidly to his heels, but Blake more quickly pursued, and took him into custody. He had on him a shilling in silver, fourpence in halfpence, and one pennypiece. He denied having taken Tighe's money. Mr. ING Il AM—This is a very extraordinary case. The evidence of these young witnesses is clear and conclusive, and I must have the depositions taken. Prisoner—l can take my solemn oath, sir, that I never had my hand in the boy's pocket. When he saw the money found on me he said none of it was his. I can account for all the money I had about me. Mr. INGIIAM—You must make your defence before a jury. Prisoner (in a state of great excitement)—Oh ! my mother, my poor mother. It will be the death of her when she hears it. Mr. INGHAM—I cannot help that I must go by the evidence, which is perfectly conclusive. The depositions wcre then taken, and the pri soner, who seemed to be in a dreadful state of mind, was committed for trial. MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

[ADVERTISEMINT.]-A. certified Cure of Scrofula by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—The following certificate from Mr. Alcorn, of Jerry's Plains, New South Wales, was forwarded to Professor Holloway by Mr. Pinkey, chemist, of the same place. " This is to certify that my daughter, aged seven years, was afflicted with scrofula for three years, and that, after she had been attended by several respectable practitioners, without success, I was induced to try Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which remedies in about three months completely cured her, and she is now in the best of health. This can be verified by various persons in this vicinity, where I have resided for twenty-two years. (Signed) R. Alcorn.
