DDRESS TO THE SULTAN ON THE LI BEItATION OF KOSSUTH AND HIS COM PANIONS. The following memorial has been addressed by the inhabitants of North Wales to his Majesty the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire : TO HIS MAJESTY THE SULTAN OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE. Actuated by a sentiment of profound respect for your Majesty, we beg to express our anxious wish that those exiles of the Hungarian and Polish nations who still remain in Turkey may be restored to freedom at the period fixed for their liberation in September next. In presuming to convey to your Majesty this ex pression of our hopes, we are influenced alike by the interest we feel in the fate of the illustrious Kossuth and his companions, and by the desire which we entertain, as British subjects, to see strengthened the bonds of alliance and friendship between our country , and the empire of which your Majesty _is the Sove reign. Our religion has taught us to value deeds of good ness and generosity above hollow, though ostentatious, professions. We have beheld the avowed defenders of the faith of Christ violate all the dictates of justice and mercy. We have turned with abhorrence from the scaffolds of Austria and Russia, and from th e dungeons of Naples, to convey this humble but heartfelt expression of our goodwill to a Monarch whose acts are those of the good S amar it an o f old—to the only Sovereign on the Continent of Europe who does not profess—to the only European Sove reign who has faithfully and fearlessly fulfilled the injunctions of Christianity. The stability and happiness of the Turkish empire are essential to our own prosperity and peace, and we fervently trust that those sentiments of goodwill which have been excited in every British breast to wards the protector of Kossuth may be confirmed by events towards his liberator. In this free country the policy of its rulers, and the decision of peace or war, is dependent on the national will, and is go verned by public opinion. We sincerely trust that the defender of the exile and the stranger from a Christian land, will maintain the confidence and respect, not only of the free na tions of the West, and of the oppressed inhabitants of Hungary, of Poland, :and of Italy, but also of his own Christian subjects , and we ardently hope that the dominions of your Majesty, so highly favoured by nature, may, under your beneficent sway, be blessed by the enlightened reforms you contemplate, and become again, as they were of old, the seat of literature, of art, and of civilization. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, SEPT. 12.—The following is the text of the treaty between Prussia and Hanover, by which the latter is admitted prospectively into the territory of the Zollverein : " TREATY BETWEEN HIS MAJESTY THE KING OF PRUSSIA. AND HIS MAJESTY TUE KING OF HANOVER, RELATING TO A UNION OF TILE STEUEILVEREIN 'WITH TEE ZOLLVEREIN. _ _ _ " His Majesty the King of Prussia and his Majesty the King of Hanover, regarding a mutual free com mercial intercourse between their respective states and the widest possible extension of such intercourse with the neighbouring German States as in a high degree beneficial to the welfare of their subjects, and as an essential progress of a general freedom of trade and commerce in the interior of Germany, and wishing to effect this object by an agreement having as much consideration as possible to the existing differences of the circumstances of both countries, have empowered the following persons to conclude such a treaty : "On the part of his Majesty the King of Prussia, the President of the Cabinet and Minis ter of Foreign Affairs, Baron von Manteuffel ; the Minister of Commerce and Public Works, M. von der Heydt ; and the Minister of Finance M. von Boe delschwitigh. " On the part of his Majesty the King of Hanover, the President of the Cabinet and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baron von Munehhausen ; and the Minister of Finance, Baron von Hammerstein. " The above-named, after the exchange and mutual recognition of their credentials, reserving the ratifi cation of the respective Sovereigns, have agreed on the following conditions : " Art. 1. From the Ist of January, 1854, there shall be between Prussia and the States then allied with her in the Zollverein, on the one part, and Hanover with the States of the Steuerverein which at that date shall have assented to this treaty, on the other part, a free commercial intercourse with each other, an as similated legislation with regard to import, export, and transit duties, as well as to the taxation cf home produced beet-root, sugar, and the mutual partition of the amount raised from such duties and taxation. "The bases of this union are the principles and regulations of the Zollverein, under the following reservations and modifications : "Art. 2. The same amount of duty shall be raised in Hanover on inland grown tobacco and wine as these articles pay in Prussia and the States com mercially allied with Prussia. In consequence of this condition there is to be a free traffic in all these Stares in wine, mil3t, tobacco (ra w and manufac tured). If these products are exported to any State not belonging to the Zoliverein, they shall pay the same duties as they are now subjected to in Prussia, the product to be carried to the common account. "Art. 3. The tax on the distillation of brandy shall be raised in Hanover to the same amount as that levied in Prussia and the States commercially allied with her. "The drawback on exportation for home produced brandy shall be on each side equalized ; it shall be fixed at a rate not in any case to exceed the amount of duty on the distillation. " Art. 4. With respect to the duty on beer, Ha nover is not to be limited, notwithstanding its obliga tion riot to exceed the maximum duty of li- thaler Prussian per 120 quarts, agreed on between the States of the Zollverein. " Art. 5. As, according to the distinct declaration of the Hanoverian Government, there are insur mountable difficulties in the way of the State under taking and limiting the sale of salt, en gros, on its own account, as is the practice in the other States of the Zollverein, or of raising the tax on that article by the present treaty ; Hanover, in order to prevent the smuggling of salt into the neighbouring States of the Union, without impeding the abolition of the strict frontier guard Geffected by this Union, will undertake to impose a severe penalty on the prohibited intro duction of salt into the neighbouring States, and to prevent it by other suitable means ; such penalties to supersede the agreement in Art. 10 of its treaty with the Zollverein. "Art. 6. Instead of the stipulation in Art. 13 of its treaty with the Zallverein, with respect to the amount of the toll levied on the highways and roads of Hanover, it only undertakes the obligation not to increase its present rates. " Art. 7. With respect to the Hanoverian river tolls and navigation dues, Art. 15 of the treaty with the Zollverein remains in force. " Art. 8. The equality of rights secured to the subjects of both States by the 15th and 19th Articles of the treaty of Hanover with the Zollverein, with respect to the navigation of seas and rivers, is ex tended to the mutual passage of the ships of both con tracting States through the rivers of the interior, without any higher dues being levied for vessel or cargo than those paid by the subjects of each State respectively. " Art. 9. Both contracting parties will, in their principal sea-ports, permit the establishment of depots for goods locally in connexion with the harbours, in order that within these depots such a Customs inspec tion may be exercised as may be sufficient to prevent smuggling into the interior, and that the storing, un- 1 packing, and repacking of the merchandise may be effected without interruption, and that the delivery of goods for import and transit shall only be made in the quantities made up for it. The parties will agree on common regulations for these establishments. "Art. 10. Hanover is at liberty to decrease or lighten the strictness of its frontier regulations, if rendered necessary from local necessities, and unat tended with prejudice to the dues levied. " Art. 11. In order to compensate for the consider ably greater consumption of highlyt:taxed articles, which has existed in Hanover, and which will pro bably continue to exist, as well as for the higher re venue which Hanover has derived hitherto from the import, export, and transit dues, and which may be further increased by the approach to the scale of duties of the Zollverein, the following conditions have been agreed on : " When the amount of the revenue from the im port, export, and transit duties, after the deductions for repayments of sums unduly levied, and those occa sioned by mutually decreased items in the scale of duties and drawbacks, shall have been fixed, and the share of that amount due to Hanover, according to the proportion of its population to the collective popu lation of the Union, shall have been ascertained, then that share or portion shall be increased for Hanover by three-fourths ; but, with respect to the import duties and tax on beet -root sugar, the increase is not to exceed 20 silver groschen (25.) per head of the population in any one year. The sum th us ar i s i n will form theshare of Hanover i n the produce of theg duties that fall to the common account. n The sharing of the general transit dues will be regulated in the same manner. e The portion of the expense of the Administration to be borne by Hanover will be calculated according to the proportion of the population of Hanover to that of the collective population of the Union. 4 4 . , 4 ,.

This treaty is to be in operation from Ist of January, 1854, till 31st of December, 1865. But if before the last-named date a Customs' Union of all the German States shall have been effected, the present treaty expires from the time the said Union comes into existence. "Art. 15. The ratifications of the present treaty are to be exchanged within, at the latest, four weeks. " OTTO VON MANTEUFFEL. " AUG. VON DER HEYDT. " VON BODELSCRWINGH. " A. VON MUNCHHAUSEN. " W. VON HAMMERSTEIN. " Signed and sealed at Berlin, Sept. 7, 1851." To the above treaty are added 14 separate articles, the substance of w hi c h i s su bj o i ned : " 1. The present treaty is extended to the Go vernment of Brunswick, its assent to it being as sumed. " The Hanoverian harbour of Geestemunde is ex cluded from the territory of Zollverein till the harbour of Bremen is incorporated with it. The exclusion of the islands belonging to Hanover is subjected to further negotiations. " 2. Each party reserves the power of increasing the transit duties on beer and brandy according to the scale of the Zollverein. " As to the taxes and transport duties on beer and brandy for the county of Hohnstein and the district of Elbingerode, the present conditions with Prussia shall continue to exist. "3. Hanover imposes a penalty of 10 thalers per cwt. on the exportati on o f sa lt i n t o th e ne i g hb o uring territories; the sale of salt to subjects of such tern tones is prohibited, and the police are bound to pre vent such sale or exportation.! " The police of the neighbouring states have in this respect the same powers as that of the state of Hanover. "In every Hanoverian salt-work a close account is to be kept, not only of the quantity taxed, but of the quantity sold, the purchasers and place purchased for to be entered. " A. Fixes the conditions on which salt may be sold in the border districts. 201bs. per year is al lowed as the calculation for the consumption of each inhabitant yearly, exclusive of salt for medical pur poses, or what has been rendered useless for con sumption. " B. Specifies these districts by na me . " The contracting parties agree to establish common regulations in future for levying the t o ll s on th e Weser, eser, and will enter into negotiations for their re duction or suspension, provided it can be e ff ec t e d without prejudice to the fr on ti er d u ti es . A n agree ment on this point as being b ase d on spec i a l circum stances is not to be regarded as binding for other rivers. - "5. On the northern frontier of Hanover from Harburg to Leer, the following duties are to be levied : " Foals under one year ... i thaler per head " Lean oxen for feeding .. 2i » " Cows ... li 1) • • .. "Heifers ... ... 1 ... II " Hanover retains by another clause of this article the right to import iron rails for the railways of the State not yet complete, free of duty. "6. Hanoverian iron and metals sent to Hamburgh, Bremen, and Geestemunde, and re-imported into the territory of the Union, may enter free of duty, the identity of the wares being proved. Grain exported may also be re-imported on the same conditions within three months. "7. Goods imported into the depots of the Hano verian harbours, in the Elbe or the Weser, without otherwise touching the territory of the Zollverein, may be re-exported by water without payment of transit dues. " The remainder of the article specifies the roads between Bremen, Harburg, and Leer, on which it is permitted to Hanover to levy the rate of transit toll allowed by its present treaty with the Zollverein. " 8. In so far as the harlour of Harburg cannot continue to exist under the assent of both the con tracting parties, a depot for merchandise, according to the provisions of Article 9, shall be erected there. " Exceptions from the regulations of the Zollverein which may be made for facilitating the traffic between Altona or Hamburgh and the Zollverein ' before the Ist of January, 1854, H anover may adopt for the traffic through Harburg. " The town of Emden is secured the privileges guaranteed it by the treaty of Vienna of the 9th of June, 1815, if it does not prefer being made a depibt under the present treaties to the enjoyment of such privileges. "On both sides it is understood that the commer dal connexion of East Friesland with the interior of the Union is to be facilitated as much as possible consistent with security for the amount of the Union revenue. " 10. The retiring pensions of the officers of the Customs displaced by the Union of the Zollverein with the Steuerverein, will be placed to the collective account of the Union. Only the actually paid amount of the pensions is to be brought to that ac count. The whole sum is not to exceed the amount fixed by the treaties of 1835 and 1841. " Hanover is not to bear any part of the pensions paid in consequence of former regulations of the Zoll vercin. " 11. Hanover undertakes to raise the import duties on the articles specified in the Appendix, to the scale therein fixed, at latest by the Ist of March, 1853. (This appendix has not been given.) " 12. Prussia undertakes to procure by mediation the assent of those States to the present treaty, with which it has to renew the treaty of the Zollverein. Hanover will invite Oldenburg and Schaumburg- Lippe to accede to this treaty, and to a simultaneous understanding for a common Customs administration ; also to an agreement to the measures taken to prevent the smuggling of salt into the neighbouring States. " The conditions of articles 8 and 11, and those of the separate articles 5 and 7, stipulated for Hanover, are also secured for the duchy of Oldenburg and the principality of Schaumburg-Lippe, in case they accede to this treaty. " 13. Prussia will immediately commence negotia tions with the rest of the States of the Zollverein for the renewal of the existing treaties, and take the ne cessary measures to facilitate hose negotiations. Hanover will take part with Prussia in those negotia tions with an equality of vote. " 14. In the negotiations specified in the last article Prussia and Hanover agree to reduce the scale of im port duties to the following sums : "1. On Freneh Brandy ... 8 thalers the centuer. Coffee • 5 71 /1 Syrup Leaf tobacco .. 4 „ 1t Tea .......... 8 „ Wine in casks 6 „ " 2. The tax on beet-root is to be raised to such a proportion to the import duty on foreign sugar and syrup, that the same revenue raised in the Zollverein on native and foreign sugar for the three years from 1847 to 1849, per head of the population, is to be at least maintained. " 3. The abatement to wine merchants to be re duced to a just proportion. "4. A fair drawback is to be allowed to the builders of sea ships, with regard to the present reduction of duties on the metals used in ship building ; the draw back to be charged to the common account of the Union. "5. The export duty on wool is reduced to one third of a thaler per centuer. "An understanding will be come to on other re ductions of the tariff that may be consistent with the security of the revenue. " The foregoing separate articles are to be ratified at the same time with the articles of the treaty con cluded and signed this day. I OTTO VON MANTEUFFEL. "AUG. VON DEN HEYDT. " VON BODELSCHWINGH. " A. vox MUNCHHAUSEN. " W. VON HAIIMERSTIIIN. " Berlin, Sept. 7, 1861." ITALY. The Corriere Mercantile, of Genoa, of the loth inst., contains the following :—" The Austrian journals have announced in a laconic manner that the Em peror intended to visit the Italian provinces. Well informed correspondents add that after the military manceuvres, in the vicinity of Verona, the Emperor would pass and show himself twice in Milan, on his way to the manceuvres on the Somme, and on his return. His Majesty will remain at Monza until the sth of October. The municipality of Milan will be summoned thither to invite the Em peror to enter Milan. The list of the feasts to be given has been notified to the municipality, and the proclamation s of the Direction of Public Order, enjoining the citizens to illuminate their houses, &c., are already composed. In the meantime we see assembled at Mil an all the princes w h o f orm th e planetary system of Austria, and for whom Wit is of the highest importance to draw closer the ties of the Austro-Italian League—that is, the two Dukes of Parma and Modena, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, and the King of Naples. Pius IX. will be represented either by Cardinal Altieri, Envoy at Vienna, who, it is said, will accompany the Emperor in Italy, or by another Cardinal appointed for the purpo3e. We shall also have the King of Wirtem berg, and it is believed, the King of Bavaria, and a few other petty German Princes. The King of Naples will lodge in the Palace of the Viceroy; the Grand Duke of Tuscany, in the Palace Arcbiato ; the Duke of Modena, in the Palace Belgioro ; and the Duke of Parma, in the Palace .3Litta Modign alai. It is generally believed that the King of Naples will come by sea to Leghorn. Others say that he will pro ceed first to Rome to salute his former guest, now a prisoner in the hands of the French, and others th a t h e w ill sa il f or V en i ce i n a war steamer, and thence join the Emperor at Verona. It is certain , the client of the Macfarlanes and Gordons will not I take the s h ortest road by crossing the Liguro. THE LONDON - , Piedmontese territory. As for the object of the con ferences, it is easy to imagine that the main point will be to strengthemethe bonds that unite them in the same political system, and to make a grand official de monstrstisn against England and the system she patronises, particularly since they vainly attempted to obtain the evacuation of Rome by the French. The arrival of King Victor Emmanuel at Genoa, and the reception he has experienced from the people of that city, very fortunately preceded the Congress of Milan, where no adhesions or acts of vassalage will be re ceived from this part of Italy."

GLASGOW, FRIDAY MORNING.—About twelve o'clock yesterday the second division of the down train from London to the North, which left about nine o'clock on Wednesday evening, met with an ac cident at Kirtlebridge, near Gretna, about 17 miles from Carlisle ; but, happily, the consequences are of a trifling nature. It appears that a train of empty trucks had come from Beattock towards Carlisle, and, not expecting the Londo❑ train at the time, was crossing the line for the purpose of attaching an additional number of empty waggons from the Kirtlebridge siding, when the passenger train, with sixteen carriages, hove in sight. The engine of the latter was immediately reversed, and every effort made to avoid a collision, but the momentum had not been sufficiently overcome when the two engines came into contact. The injury sustained consists of a lady being hurt on the forehead from the concussion, and the buffer of the trucks' engine being knocked off. The principal effect was to delay the train a few hours, from the tender being thrown off the line, but the Glasgow division arrived here in safety last night. That blame rests somewhere, and that the consequences might have beenjserious, is unques tioned; but we have no doubt that the case will be fully investigated. The passenger train was an excursion one, returning from the Exhibition, and the utmost alarm was ex hibited for some time by its non-appearance at the appointed tour. The escape altogether is a miraculous one. As the one engine stood quite across the line, the consquences must have been frightful had there not been sufficient time to arrest the motion of the other. (ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.) The number of passengers in the train at the time of the accident is believed to have been about 200. The rate of speed before the trucks train was discovered was about thirty miles an hour. Beyond the con tinued blowing of the whistle few of the passengers noticed anything out of due course until the collision took place, when the heads of the people were violently knocked against the backs of the carriages and . into each others' faces. Most of the injuries sustained were consequently cuts or contusions on the head and face, from which, and from the sudden alarm, many were rendered temporarily insensible ; but they all speedily recovered to express their thankfulness at their miraculous escape. In all, it is believed, that from thirty to forty persons have been hurt, but almost all of them slightly—at least such is the case with those belonging to Glasgow. The engineer and stoker jumped off the passenger train when they saw that a collision was inevitable • but they had pre viously turned off th e steam and applied the breaks with all their power. Those in charge of the empty train became completely paralysed when they saw the passenger train advancing on the same line of rails, and did nothing to avert the collision. Possibly by this time it was out of their power to make any effectual effort. Fortunately none of the passenger carriages were thrown off the line. All the passen gers agree in stating that a more reckless collision— in broad daylight, too, and with a train which was known to be on its way—or a more merciful escape, has never occurred. What the railway officials can say for themselves remains to be seen.—Morning Paper. MANAGEMENT OF THE WOODS AND FORESTS.—OH the 10th of next month the new Act, alluded to by her Ma jesty on the prorogation of Parliament, for the better ma nagement of the Woods and Forests, will come into force. The object of the new law is to separate the management of the Woods and Forests from the direction of her Majesty's Works and Public Buildings, and to make better provision for the management of the same. From the commencement of the Act, the First Commissioner of the Woods, &c., is to be the First Commissioner of the Public Works and Build ings, with a salary not exceeding 2,0001. a year, and he may be a Member of the House of Commons. The other Com missioners of the Woods and Forests are to continue to hold their offices, and their salaries are to be provided for by Par liament, but they are not eligible to a seat in the House of Commons. The other officers to continue in their situations. Officers may be appointed to assist in the Public Works and Buildings. The management of all the royal parks is to vest in the Commissioner of Works, and not, as heretofore, in the Commissioners of the Woods and Forests. Parlia ment will also have to provide for the expenses relating to the department of the Public Works, as well as in the ma nagement of the Woods and Forests, which latter depart ment was paid out of the revenues of the Crown possessions. After the commencement of the Act the First Commissioner of Public Works is to be an Inclosure Commissioner, a Com missioner of Greenwich Hospital, and a Commissioner for carrying into execution the Acts relating to Highland roads and bridges, a Commissioner for building new churches, and the President of the Board of Health. EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCTION OF A SEEDLING POTATO.—In the spring of last year a workman in the em ploy of Messrs. Addiscott and Son, nurseryman, St. Thomas, observed a seedling potato grow up. He took it up and then replanted it, putting fresh soil round the stalk, till the autumn, when the produce from this single istalk amounted to 165 potatoes. In the spring of the present year Mr. H. Adiscott planted between 130 and 140 of the largest of these potatoes (whole) in the nursery, and on Friday last he dug them, when he found the produce amounted to 3,332, besides wastage, being an average of about 24 potatoes to each stalk. Any person interested in the growth of potatoes can see them at the Nursery by application. They are very early pota toes, and free from disease.— Western Times. THE TEMPLE CHURCH AND MIDDLE TEMPLE HALL.— About 2,500 persons are now visiting every week these two .remarkable edifices. By the kindness of th• benchera of the Temple the admittance is free, and without orders. Goldsmith was buried in the paved court, or yard, north of the church. CEIIIRCII-RATES.—The Essex Standard says, " Th e following is a copy of a circular from the Secretary of State to the churchwardens of parishes in cities and boroughs, for the purpose of obtaining information on the subject of church-rates, with u view probably to some legislative enactment on the subject :—" Whitehall, Sept. s.—Gentle men,—The Queen having been pleased to comply with the prayer of an humble address, presented to her Majesty in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons, dated August 6, 1651, for a ' return from each city and Parlia mentary borough in England and Wales, specifying -1. Number of church-rates required, made or refused, from Easter, 1833, to Easter, 1851 ; specifying further, first, the amount in pounds of such rate; second, the amount assess able to the poor-rate, so far as the same can be ascertained; thirdly, the population of the said city or borough, accord ing to the census of 1851. 11. The suits and other legal proceedings (describing the same) which have followed the refusal of church -rates."—l am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to desire that you will prepare returns accord ingly, so far as relates to the place for which you are churchwarden, and transmit the same: to me with the least possible delay, in order that they may be laid before the House of Commons. I am, gentlemen, your obedient ser vant, H. W , ADDING . ToIie..The churchwardens of --." TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBE MOORS AND FORESTS. On the Coignafearn moors, from the 12th of August to the Ist September, Mr. Elwes, Major Hall, Mr. Lawson, and Mr. Scratton have shot 640 brace of grouse and a red deer. In the same number of days Mr. Bruce of Kennet and A. Houblon, Esq., have bagged at Cromdale 782 head of grouse, 62 black game, 10 wild-ducks, 14 snipe, and 31 hares. Sir Charles Burton, Bart., Mr. Littledale, and Mr. Nicholson have bagged at Upper Killin, from the 12th of August till the 3d September, 661 brace of grouse and 133 bares. Mr. North and friends, at Dallas, in twelve days, shot 400 brace. On the Kirdel moors, J. Marsland, Esq., and friends had shot, up to the 4th Sept., 1,543 head of game, of which 727 were grouse. Up to the 2d Sept., Mr. Crawford and party, at Dalnaspidal, bagged 3,065 head of grouse ; to the same date Mr. Finnie and party had shot 1,160 brace of grouse. Sir H. Wilmot and party, at Carr- Bridge, had killed, on Ist September over 1,000 brace of grouse, and 50 brace black-game, besides roe, hares, and wild-fowl. Three guns first week, four guns since. The sport in the deer forests has been good ; number of beautiful heads have been added to former collations. One of the finest was shot on the sth inst., at Strathconon, by J. M. Balfour, Esq. The deer weighed, when cleaned, 19 stone; the head is the best of the season ; the length of each horn is 30 in ches, the span inside of the horns 30 inches, and the thickness of each, 71- inches. Lord Edward Thynne, who is visiting the Earl of Malmesbury at Achnacarry, when out deer-stalking in Gulrain, on the Ist inst., shot a magnific en t go ld en eagle, while soaring over his head at fully a hundred yards high. His Lordship used a rifle. The eagle measured six feet and a half from tip to tip of the wings, and weighed eight and a half pounds. This a probably the only instance of an eagle having been killed flying with a single ball. It was a shot worthy of Hawkeye.--Inverness Courier. it was; and, as it was only 4 ,- 1. for the conveyance of each passenger, she had asked him for the change as she had described. Mr. ARNOLD (to defendant)—Do you wish to ask the lady any questions ? Defendant—lt says " Pour ' pence from Sloane-street to the Bank," but doesn't say anything about the Bank to Sloane-street.--. (Laughter.) She got in at Ludgate-hill. (To com plainant)—You did, did'nt you ? Complainant—Yes • I have said so. Mr. ARN O L D (addressing the defendant)—What have you to say ? Defendant—l'm not guilty. My fare was 6cl. It doesn't say on the omnibus "To or from the Bank, 4d. ;" but only says " From Sloane street to the Bank, 4d.," and the lady rode the other way. Mr. ARNOLD—And what does it say is the fare from the Bank to Sloane-street ? Defendant—lt doesn't say ; there's no fare for that.—(Laughter.) Mr. ARNOLD—Then the proprietor is liable to a penalty for not having painted inside the carriage the fare from the Bank to Sloane-street. Defendant—l don't know anything about that. Mr. ARNOLD—This is about as impudent a defence as I ever heard set up. The meaning of the words " from Sloane-street to the Bank" is clearly either way. If it were not so the proprietor would be liable to a penalty for not putting up a proper table of fares in his carriage. An 3 body would understand the words which are painted in the carriage to mean 4d. "to or from," and considering this to be a gross imposition, I shall inflict the full penalty of 205. and costs. Defendant said he had not got the money, but upon the magistrate ordering him 21 days' imprisonment in default of paying the penalty and costs, he soon produced the required amount. The lady complained that in the confusion conse quent upon the defendant's conduct she left her para sol in the omnibus, which she had no doubt the de fendant had kept, as there was nobody in the carriage at the time she left it. Mr. ARNOLD offered to grant her a summons against the defendant for detaining it. The lady thanked the worthy magistrate, but de clined; she was content with his being punished for the imposition he had practised. LAMBETH. Bridget Lynch, an elderly woman, and Mary Lynch, her daughter, were brought before Mr. Elliot, charged with stealing a silk handkerchief and a pocket-book from the person of Thomas Moncrieff, during service time, in St. George's Catholic Cathe dral, St. George's-fields, Southwark. Mr. ELLIOT asked whether anything was know❑ of the prisoners ?—The constable said he knew nothing of either of them, but there had been numerous rob beries in the cathedral, which induced the authorities to place constables on duty there every Sunday to de tect the thieves. Mr. ELLIOT said, some inquiries must be made about them, and to give the constable an opportunity he should remand them until Wednesday next. WORSHIP-STREET. A young man of respectable appearance, who gave the name of Philip Smith, and described himself as an engineer, was placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyn court, charged with having stolen a hat-case and a portmanteau, containing wearing apparel, the property of Mr. Wm. Brown, a solicitor, at Ipswich. The prosecutor stated that shortly before three o'clock that morning he arrived at the Shoreditch station of the Eastern Counties Railway, with the in tention of proceeding to Ipswich, and having placed his luggage under the care of one of the porters, he walked into the refreshment-room to await the de parture of the first train that started. While partak ing of some refreshment he observed the prisoner, who engaged him in conversation, but after some trivial observations, abruptly left the apartment, and shortly after the porter in whose charge he had left his luggage hastily entered and inquired whether he had authorised any ona to take it away. Witness re plied in the negative, and accompanied the man back to the platform, where he found the prisoner in cus tody. The prosecutor identified the hat•case and the portmanteau produced by the officer, on each of which his name and address was legibly written. The prisoner was remanded for a week. THAMES. Mr. Benjamin Longridge Barnett, shipowner and broker, of Gracechurch- street, City, and Snaresbrook, Esser, was charged with causing the death of Fran cis Featherstone, a labourer, aged 60 years, lately residing at 55, Queen Anne-street, Whitechapel. Mr. Pelham defended the prisoner. Police-constable Oliver, No. 186 K, said he was on duty in the Whitechapel-road at a quarter be• fore one o'clock on Sunday morning, when he heard a noise opposite to the London Hospital, and cries of " Stop him." He ran towards the spot, and saw the prisoner, who had been driving a horse and chaise, under detention. A man who had been run over was taken to the hospital, and died almost im mediately. On the way to the station-house the prisoner said he called out to the old man, and that he could not avoid the accident. The prisoner was driving down the road on his way from London to Snaresbrook when the accident happened. Mr. Pelham said that no one could regret the un fortunate occurrence more than Mr. Barnett. Mr. YARDLEY—The case is a very proper one for inquiry, and where human life is lost it is proper that the party supposed to be the cause of the per son's death should be secured. As far as I can see, this is an accident, but a coroner's jury may take a different view of the case. If you have got bail I will take one surety in the sum of GO/. for his ap pearance on another day. Bail was immediately tendered and accepted. Michael Doolan, a powerful young fellow, an Irish costermonger, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with committing a violent assault on Judith Burke, his countrywoman, who appeared in court with her face terribly bruised and disfigured, and her eyes blackened and almost closed up. The prisoner, in defence, said that Judy Burke threw herself upon him and tore his shirt to pieces. Mr. YARDLEY said, if that was so it was no justi fication for the brutal, cowardly assault which had been committed on the woman. Such savage doings were not to be tolerated. He fined the prisoner 51., and in default of payment committed him to the House of Correction for one month. LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept 15. The Chief Commissioner sat this morning for the first time since the vacation, and heard a considerable number of cases, none of which were of any very great public interest. IN RE HENRY LASCELLES PATTERSON. This insolvent, a tailor, was opposed by Mr. Nichols for Messrs. Davis, woollendrapers, and by a creditor in person; Mr. Cooke, supported. The complaint on the part of Messrs. Davis was that their debt had been contracted by means of false representations; but the Court, after hearing the evidence, thought it insufficient to warrant an adverse judgment. Mr. Deakins, a gunner of the Royal Artillery, holding an office in the Tower, complained that the insolvent owed him 811. 10s. for money lent. He had lent the insolvent 501. in March, 1849, the interest of which was regularly paid until June, 1850, when in solvent requested and obtained a further loan of 501., to be repaid by quarterly instalments of 61. 105. Three of these instalments had been paid, leaving a balance of 811. 10s., which it had taken Deakins (as he said) sixteen years to save. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER said it was a very pain ful case, and he felt much for the unfortunate loss of the poor soldier, but there was nothing in the tran saction which the Court could punish under the Act of Parliament, End the insolvent must, therefore, be discharged. At the same time, the insolvent ought to feel that, although legally exonerated from the debt, yet it was his duty, in honour, to use every effort to repair the evil he had inflicted upon the creditor. The insolvent was then ordered to be discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Four well•dressed young men, named AfKay, _Horton, 111ackey, and Jones, were brought before the Lord Mayor by George Scott, one of the officers of the City Detective Police, charged with having picked a lady's pocket of a purse containing a sum of money, and with having tried to pick the pockets of several other ladies. The LORD MAYOE—Is the person to whom the purse belongs here ? Scott—The lady went off to Margate, and I have reason to believe without any money at all. The prisoners do not know what money is in the purse, but I dare say all the lady's property is safe. Whan I took the prisoners to the station-house, I found mo ney in the pockets of each of them. At this moment the Lord Mayor received an inti mation that the lady who had been robbed missed her purse on the passage to Margate, and had been landed at Herne Bay in consequence of the loss.—The pri soners were then remanded. A boy named Emanuel Jacobs was charged with having picked the pocket of a lady of a purse in Whitechapel. The prisoner was seen by two persons to snatch the purse out of the pocket of the lady, and upon being seized by her, drop it at her feet. She picked up her property, and telling the boy that she had a mind to box his ears, went away. The prisoner was recognized as an old offender, who had gone the round of the London prisons. The LORD MAYOR—He shall not take another purse for another month, at any rate.—Committed for a month to Bridewell. Richard Martin was charged with having driven between 500 and 600 sheep in the city, o❑ Sunday, at 5 o'clock, without a drover's badge. The defendant said the sheep were his father's pro perty, and he thought he was authorised to drive them to Smithfield under the circumstances, particularly as they had been for some hours at the station of the Southampton Railroad. The LORD MAYOR said it was in his power to fine the defendant in the penalty of 101., for five distinct offences committed by him under the Act. His Lordship, however, thought that justice would be done by the infliction of the fine of 105.—The penalty was paid. GUILDHALL. Patrick Fury and Mary Kennetly, his sister, were again charged with violently assaulting Elizabeth Fury, the wife of the former, whereby her life was endangered. This case was remanded from Saturday last for the attendance of the prosecutrix, who was then in the hospital, and who yesterday appeared in a very ex hausted state, having been conveyed from the hos pital to the court in a cab. Prosecutrix said—l did live at 6, Sun-court, Milton-street, but have no home now to go to, because my husband broke it up last week. After leaving this court on Friday last, when the summons against my husband was dismissed, I went home, and shortly after to Mary Kennedy's house, t o see k m y h us b an d. She said he was not with her then, but she expected him there in the course of the evening, and that she would take good care that he should never return to live with me as long as my name was Elizabeth. I then went to a public-house in the neighbourhood, where I found my husband. He told me to walk out of his sight, but I refused, and sat d own , sa yi ng I h a d nowhere to go but with bun. He insisted upon my leaving the place, and I rose from my seat, when he struck me on my mouth with his fist. Mary Ken nedy came up at that time, and I left the public house, and placing my hand on her shoulder I said, " You wicked woman, you have instigated my hus band to leave me and my infant to starve in the streets." She seized me by the hair of my head and swung me round several times. My husband then came out of the public-house and knocked me down, when Mary Kennedy joined him, and they both com menced kicking me on the side. I got away from them and went into Sun-court, and my husband fol lowed me, and said " be would be hung for me." He again kicked me, and struck me several times, and then continued beating me until I fell to the ground in a state of insensibility, from which I did not re cover until I was in the hospital. Alderman HUNTER said he would not dispose cf this case until he had had time to consider whether it would not be better to send it to the Old Bailey. He therefore remanded it until Friday. MARY LEB ONE. John Owsn, a stonemason was charged with vio lently assaulting Mr. George Bennet, landlord of the Ben Jonson Tavern, Harrow-road, and who, from the serious nature of the injuries he had received, was unable to attend. Pamphilion, 115 D, said, about 10 o'clock on Sa turday night he was on duty near the Ben Jonson Tavern, when he was called to take the prisoner into custody. On entering the house he saw Mr. Bennet, who was bleeding profusely from a wound on the temple, supported by two gentlemen, who were leading him into the bar-parlour. The prisoner was then given into his charge for the assault. The con stable produced a certificate, signed by the surgeon who had been called in to attend Mr. Bennet, which stated that Mr. Bennet was so severely injured that he was unable to leave his bed, and that if erysipelas took place fatal consequences might follow. The prisoner, in defence, said he had taken a little too much, and was not aware that he had injured Mr. Bennet. Mr. BROUGHTON said he should remand tho pri• soner for a week. WESTMINSTER. James Green, the conductor of an " Exhibition " omnibus, was charged with the following gross im position : Mrs. Dixon, a lady residing in Hereford-terrace, King's-road, Chelsea, stated that a few days ago she got into the defendant's omnibus, accompanied by another lady, at Ludgate-hill, and was set down at Sloane-street. She then gave the defendant a shil ling to t a k e th e f are f or h erse lf an d f r i en d, which amounted to Bd., wh en h e re f use d to give her any change, and, having told hPr that there was none, cooli her that she Lis Luw.hi,r. Mr. ARNO LD i nqu i re d w heter the amount of fare WAS stinted ou the omnibus ?—The Judy replied that SOUTHWARK. Thomas Chidlow, a man of respectable appearance, was charged with uttering a counterfeit halfcrown.; William Fenn stated that he is conductor of one of the Atlas omnibuses, and that the prisoner, who was a passenger, on alighting at the corner of Weymouth , street in the New Kent-road, on the previous night, tendered him a halfcrown piece to take his fare. He (witness) in consequence of being imposed upon to a large amount by persons giving him base money, par ticularly at night, examined the halfcrown attentively, and, finding it was a counterfeit, he informed the pri soner, who walked away, and he then followed him, and meeting with a constable at the Elephant and Castle, gave him into custody. Policeman Hyde, 235 .1.1, produced the halfcrown which was handed to the magistrate, who, on examin ing it, remarked that it was different to others which he had seen, and appeared as if it had recently been silvered over. He perceived under the mark made by the conductor on the face of the coin in order to iden tify it, that a different metal was used in the coinage, and that it was apparent enough it was a counterfeit. The prisoner exclaimed, that he would not attempt to deny the fact of its being counterfeit, but that he was totally ignorant that such was the fact until the conductor informed him of it. That he could not re collect where he had taken it, and he added, that any man might have been subjected to the same inconve nience that he was by being taken off in custody and locked up from his family for an offence of which he was completely innocent—that of uttering it, knowing it to be counterfeit. He added that he resided in Cullam-street, Fenchurch-street, city ; that he ,had respectable tradesmen in court to speak as to his cha racter, if the magistrate would allow them to be exa mined on that point; and, although they knew nothing relative to the charge, still he was certain that their testimony would convince his worship that he was not a common utterer of base money. The policeman stated, that on searching the prisoner he found a good half-crown in his pocket and a piece of paper which contained writing, and which the prisoner expressed the utmost anxiety to hare restored to him, adding, at the same time, that it only related to matters connected with his business—that of a gas fitter. The paper in question was handed to the magistrate, who read it, and afterwards observed that it materially altered the features of the case, for it contained written instructions as to the process of coating articles over with silver. The magistrate then asked the prisoner what it meant, and said that it explained in a great measure his anxiety to h ave the paper restored to him when it was taken by the policeman from his pocket. Prisoner—Oh, .1 can explain it. The paper in question refers to instructions for lacquering or bronzing articles—a process used in the gas-fitting business. If I was an utterer of base coin I would not carry such a paper about me for fear of detection ; but I had no occasion for secresy in the matter. Mr. INGHAM-1 shall remand you, in order that the Solicitor of the Mint may be apprised of the circumstance, — Frisoner—l hope you will hear my witnesses. Mr. INGium—l have no objection to hear them. The prisoner then called forward two witnesses (tradesmen), who stated that they had known the prisoner for several years, and gave him an excellent character ; and one of them stated that he had made some inquiries respecting the paper found in his pos session, and ascertained that it contained instructions relative to lacquering articles used by persons in the prisoner's line of business. The prisoner slid he hop , A, after the tnavigtrate 'ward tile. witnesses, he would be juLia,..td remand him for the shortest period possible. Mr. IrionAbt--1 shall remand you until Wedues7 16, 1851 day, but will accept bail for your appearance on the day mentioned ; yourself in 80/., and two sureties of 401. each. The required bail having been taken, the accused was then liberated. THE AUSTRALIAN GOLD REGIONS. Much interest was occasioned in the city on Fri day by the arrival of papers with six days' later in telligence from the Australian gold regions. They were brought by the Teviot steamer. The dates thus furnished extend to the 2d of June. It appears that the discovery was made by a Mr. E. H. Hargraves. He travelled over the district about sixteen years ago, when the scenery, and to a limited extent the geolo gical features, of the country m a d e en i m p ress i on on his mind. Latterly he visited California, and while in the gold regions of that country was struck with their resemblance to the wilderness which he bad seen in Australia so many years before. A resistless desire to return and explore for gold then took possession of him, and he "could not rest until he had satisfied it by a personal search," which he at length accomplished although under difficulties and privations, the result being, according to his words, the disclosure of " un bounded wealth" to his fellow colonists. The papers also stite that the Rev. Mr. Clark, a local geologist, has all along contended that not only was the pre cious metal to be fonnd in that locality, but through out the principal chain of mountains which belt the Australian continent. It is added, that for some time past a shepherd named M`Gregor had been in the habit of bringing gold to Sydney for sale, who maintained, however, great secrecy respecting whence he gained it. Mr. Hargraves commenced his search about the middle of January last, and after traversing the country for about 300 miles, took advantage of his experience in California, and select ing a spot proceeded successfully to work. He im mediately named the place the " Ophir diggins," and they have since remained in operation. The gold district is described as lying to the westward of Bathurst, the Ophir diggings being thirty-five miles north-west, on the Summerville-creek, near its junction with the Macquarie River. It was estimated that there were about 2,000 persons at Ophir, and hundreds scattered in other directions. Several parties working in company were known to have secured large returns, one individual, who with five others had made their labour a joint-stock operation, calculating his share as about 2,0001. Already upwards of 20,0001. was said to have been gathered, taking the returns as represented by the most suc cessful diggers. Purchases of gold and gold dust had been effected on the spot to the extent of 9,000/. Among the specimens transmitted to Sydney, and which were being exhibited, was a lump weighing 461- ounces gross, alleged to be almost entirely virgin gold. The metal was said to be distributed to a con siderable extent in the bed of the creek, and other discoveries were predicted. Reports had been received at Sydney of gold having been found at a place called Illawarra, near the Manning river. Mr. Hargraves states that the gold he has obtained is quite equal, if not superior, to that which he saw while in Cali fornia. Mr. Stuchhury, the Government geologist, had examined the locality, but his report had not been published at the latest date. In the midst of the pre vailing excitement it was feared that much exagge ration might be encouraged. It was represented by some that provisions at Bathurst had risen enor mously • others contradict e d this s t a t e ment. A lett e r dated the ' 29:h of May, from that piece, written by a resident who had visited the diggings, did not give in every respect the most encouraging account of proceedings. " Where one person," he says, "is lucky and finds 20/. or 301. worth of gold in a single lump, fifty persons are scarcely earning ten shillings a day, and forty-nine not more than the cost of their rations." Distress and sickness were also appre hended from the nature of the climate in the moun tains and the severity of the winter when it should set in. The party in question, however, weakens his warning by the statement that during only two days he was at the diggings he obtained gold to the value of be tween 51. and 6/. Subjoined is a copy of a private letter handed to us by Messrs. Poillipps, Shaw, and Low ther, from the captain of the Thomas Arbuthnot, the vessel by which the present intelligence was brought to Pernambuco, whence it has reached England by the Teviot. His statements show the serious way in which every branch of the labour market is likely to be deranged : _ _ " Ship Thomas Arbuthnot, Pernambuco, Aug. 20. " Gentlemen,—l suppose you have had rumours of the extensive gold fields discovered in New South Wales, causing as sudden a revolution as 1 believe ever could have visited any country. The colony is completely paralyzed. Every man and boy who is able to lift a shovel is off, or going off; to the diggings. Stations are in many parts completely deserted; consequently sheep and cattle are left to go and do as they like. Nearly every article of food has gone up, in some cases 200 per cent. ; and seeing that a great reduction in the grain crops next season must ensue for want of labour, it will necessarily follow that maintenance for man and beast will be both scarce and high. No doubt there will be extensive emigra tion from all parts of Europe when once the news gets wind. "We have on board about 8001. worth of Aus tralian gold, the first shipped from the colony. It was purchased on the spot (in fact, dug up before their eye!) by four gentlemen, managing partners of different mercantile firms in Sydney. It is all in lumps, nearly pure, the largest weight 41b. less 2oz. When this was brought down there was a large amount at Bathurst waiting for a military escort, which the people were in hopes the Government would allow to them. What we have on board was brought down by four gentlemen, they being armed to the teeth. "I had great difficulty in getting away from Syd ney. Although I promised my crew double wages, some six or seven left me as soon as the affair became known. Foreseeing what would most likely be the case, I got a steamer and towed the ship down to wards the Heads. I placed two armed policemen, night and day, one at each end of the ship. Still those that could swim got off somehow. All this caused much expense. I left the Lady Clark ready for sea without a soul on board but the captain. I believe he was about starting, with his articles in his pocket, on the road towards Bathurst, thinking he might induce some sailors to return and ship. They were coolly (I mean what sailors were left in Sydney) asking 801. for the run home, and a guarantee of procuring them a ship to return direct to Sydney. I paid 51. and 61. per month for what I wanted. " Yours very faithfully, " G. H. BEATON. "Messrs. Pi3illipps, Shaw, and Lowther." SHIP NEWS. QUARANTINE NOTICE. LISBON, SEPT. S.
