The plaintiffs in this action are whole.ale grocers in the City, and the defendant is a country dealer. The action was brought to recover the sum of 4/. 90. 6r1., the b*lttnee (lan accettut for goods sold. Defendant pleaded that he was not indebted The evidence relied on for the defence was that the business had been given up to defendant's son. On th. , contrary, it was proved that after one payment of 51. defendant called personally on the plaintiffs, and not seeing them instanter, expressed his anxiety to pay the money, as he was afraid that it would " burn a hole in his pocket." The jury appeared to think that this was a poEitive ad mission of the justice of the claim, and gave a verdict fur the amount claimed. CRIMINAL COURT.--(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice MAULE.) Thomas Banks; aged 42, a clerk, remanded from last session, was this morning placed at the bar on an indict ment charging him with feloniously forging an order for payment of money to defraud James Robert Abbott. Mr. Robinson conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Parry defended the prisoner. The prosecutor, Mr. Abbott, keeps the Fountain and Star public-house in Coleman-street, City, and the pri soner was a clerk employed in the Bankruptcy Court. The prisoner was in the habit of going to the prosecu tor's house for refreshment, and was well known there. It appeared that on the 24th of August last the prisoner presented a cheque for 10/., purporting to be drawn by a Mr. John Weston on Messrs. Robarts and Co. in fa vour of Mr. James Cooper, at the bar of the prose cutor's public-house. Mr. Cooper was known to the prosecutor as a gentleman holding an office in the Court of Bankruptcy, and the latter was in the habit of cashing cheques for him. Finding the cheque presented by the prisoner was drawn by Mr. Cooper, the bar maid of the prose cutor gave the prisoner cash for it. It afterwarth turned out that she cheque was a forgery. A witness deposed to his belief that the cheque was in the handwriting of the prisoner. Mr. PARRY addressed the jury on behalf of the pri soner in an ingenious speech, and then called two wit nesses to whom the prisoner was well known, who gave it as their belief that the cheque was nut in his hand writing. His LORDSIIIP summed up, and the jury found a ver dict of Guilty of uttering, but with a recommendation to mercy. The prisoner was then sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 18 calendar months. FORGERY ON THE AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT. Altonio Molteai, aged 48, described as a labourer, was arraigned on an indictment charging him with felo niously having in his possession 3,000 copies of a certain paper, on which was printed part of a note of a certain toreign state in the empire of Austria. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. Huddle stone conducted the case for the prosecution; and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Clarkson. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in stating the case, said the prisoner was indicted under a statute which made it felony for any person to engrave on ary plate, wood, or stone any bill of exchange or promissory note for the payment of money in any language, and purporting to be the note of any state. The prisoner was indicted for having made a certain note or undertaking on the Aus trian Goverement, for the payment of various amounts of lires. a lire being the value of Bd. in English money. The copies of the note so made amounted to 3,000 i❑ number, and were for various amounts of fires, of five, thirty, and sixty, and so on. The prisoner was a native of Como, in Lombardy, and had carried on the business of a picture-frame maker in this country for some time. About two or three years ago, however, he returned to Congo, his native place, but in August last be came back to this country, and took up his quarters at the George public-house, in Brook -street, nolhorn. I❑ September last he was taken into custody to answer the charge on which he was now indicted. Lawrence Lee said he resided at 245, High Holborn, and was a lithographer and engraver in partnership with his father. Oa the 2d September last the prisoner called at his house and showed him a certain note (pro duced), and asked what he (witness) would charge for engraving 3,000 of them. Witness replied for 21. 155., and 10s. more for the watermark. The prisoner wished an exact copy to be made. He asked witness what would be the cost of making the two dies for the notes. Witness could not tell him at that moment. Something was said about a deposit, and the prisoner came next day and paid a deposit of 11. The prisoner said the note he wished engraved was a ticket by which miners and labourers could get provisions or anything they wanted in Austria on account of people for whom they worked. Dues not understand the Italian language. Prisoner asked when he could see a proof of the note, and witness replied in two or three days. Pri sooer said he lived in Brook -street, near witness's house. When the prisoner came a second time witness said the dies would be a sovereign each. The prisoner called almost every day while the engraving was in progress, and saw it from time to time, with which he expressed his satisfaction. Witness spoke to his father the next morning after the prisoner first called on the subject of the engraving. On the Thurs day after the first interview, the prisoner brought another note (produced), and asked what it would cost to en grave a copy of it. Witness said 51., and 10s. for the water-mark. Prisoner agreed to give that sum, and afterwards called on Tuesday, the 10th, to see a perfect proof of the first note, with which he expressed himself satisfied. He wished the notes to be done asfast as pos sible, as he was going out of town. He said he was going to Birmingham on the following Saturday. Pri soner saw an imperfect proof of the second note. The prisoner afterwards called on witness again, and asked for the tickets he had ordered. Witness de- livered a parcel of them to the prisoner, who opened it, and said some of them were a little pale. Prisoner then paid for the notes. On that occasion be took away the package containing 3,000 notes. Oa the same day witness showed the prisoner another proof of the second note, with which he expressed himself satis fied. Witness was then aware that Forrester, the offic-r, was waiting in the neighbourhood. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON —Fi rs t saw For rester, the officer, the day the pi ironer was taken, or the day before. Witness's father had been making inquiries about the matter. The first intimation witness had on the subject of the engraving was on the 2d of September, but in about a week tawnier is some one in connexion with the police authorities called at the shop. He be lieved it was the officer Goddard. Nobody else came, except Forrester. Goddard saw the prisoner afterwards. The prisoner was the first person be saw on the subject of the engraving. Mr. George Lawrence Lee, father of the last witness, gave corroborative testimony. Witness put himself in communication with Forrester on the subject of the prisoner ordering these notes, and saw him at t h e Mansion-house. Witness had put a copy of the note in bis window, but, the prisoner perceiving it, said he did not wish it to be exposed. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—Went to For rester on his own accord. Never printed any documents of the same description before. John Forrester, officer at the Mansion-house, deposed that, in cons , quence of a communication he received from last witness, at the Mansion-house, he gave cer tain information t Mr. Bu&b. Goddard was also spoken to on the subject. O❑ the 14th of September the pri soner went into Mr. Lee's hous. , , and in about a quarter of an hour he came out with a parcel under his arm, and was taken into custody and brought to the Bow street station. On arriving there the parcel was opened, when the prisoner said the contents appeared to be Austrian notes ; and he t aid a gent ernatt in France gave him orders for them, and he thought they were lottery tickets. Several ether witnesses were examined on the part of the prosecution. Mr. CLARKSON addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner; and his LORDSHIP having summed up, The jury found the ptisor er Guilty, and he was :et , - ieneed w be transported for revers years• W COURT. (Before the BEC - O . R - 1) and Mr. Alderman MOON.) The jury found the prisoner Guilty of a common assault.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 24.—The Hogue, 60, screw steam-ship, Captain Macdougal, CAL, arrived at Spithead this aft moon from the Mediterranean. She sailed from Gibraltar on the Ist lust. Her news has, therefore, been anticipated by very much later ad vice!. 'When she sailed the Arrogant and Encounter screw -steamers were loading with provisions for Com modore Martin's squadron. A Turkish frigate and a brig were also lying there. Mr. Charles Andrews, mate of the Hogue, and Mr. 'William F. Lew, second master of the Terrible, have left the service. The Hogue leaks considerably at the stern. The Birkenhead iron steam• frigate, Master-Com mander John Aylen, laden with pr ov i s i on s an d s t ores for Ascensi on , sa il e d this morning at ten o'clock. In going out of harbour she took the ground off the mouth of the Custom-house creek, and remained some time. Fortunately the tide was rising, and she got off without damage, as is supposed by her having pro ceeded on her voyage. PLYMOUTH, WLDN FSDAY.—The storeship Rattle snake, Acting-Commander Yule, arrived late last night, after a lengthened passage of 177 days from Sydney. She sailed on the 2d of May, called at the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, on the 16th, and left on the 23d of May, touched at the Falkland Islands oa the sth, and departed on the 25th of July ; called at Fayal on the 29th of September, and left on the sth of October. She has on board the Port Essing ton Marines, with several invalids from her Ma jesty's ships Havannah and Meander, at New South Wales. Mr. Crawford and lady are also passengers. The Rattlesnake did not touch at the Brazils, in consequence of the yellow fever being reported there. FURTHER PARTICULARS.—At length we are en abled to announce the arrival of the Rattlesnake, sur veying -vessel, Lieutenant C. B. Yule acting com mander, from Sydney. She left that port on the 3d of May, having embarked as many of the crew, late of the Bramble, tender to the Rattlesnake, as wished to come home; and arrived at the Bay of Islands, as we stated, on Wednesday, May 16; and the only other places she touched at in her long and tedious passage home were the Falkland Islands and Fayal. She has brought home, in addition to her own crew, the detach ment of marines and others late of Port Essington,that establishment having been broken up by the ()Hers of the Admiralty, by Captain the Hon. H. Keppel, of the Meander, 44, and the officers and men withdrawn. When the Rattlesnake reached Devonport she was very short of provisions and fuel, and indeed those on board must have suffered some 'privations. They had neither wine nor spirits on board from the time they left the Falkland Islands, and for many weeks lived on salt provisions. Mr. and Mrs. Crawford and child have come home passengers in the Rattlesnake from Sydney. The lady is a daughter of Rear-Admiral Dundas, and to the great joy of her anxious relatives joined them in London last night. The Rattlesnake has been out surveying in Torres Straits and New Guinea for the last four years, having been commis sioned at Portsmouth, September, 1846, by Captain Stanley, who died some months since. Captain Cockburn, it will be remembered, has been promoted to the vacancy from the East India flag-ship, and is now at Portsmouth, awaiting her arrival. The other officers of the Rattlesnake are the same, we believe, as those who left England in her—namely, Lieutenants Dayman and H. G. Simpson, Master J. J. Brown, Surgeon Dr. J. Thompson, Paymaster F. Brady, As sistant. Surgeon T. H. Huxley, Second Masters G. H. Inekip and Edward Brooker (acting), Clerk J. Y. Messum. Lieutenant Yule, who has come home in command of the Rattlesnake by virtue of his seniority, has been engaged in command of the Bramble, tender, in surveying operations its Australia for the last seven or eight years, having proceeded thither, we believe, with the Fly, 18, Captain Black wood. On the arrival of the Rattlesnake, and her wants being made known, a lighter, with supplies of provisions and stores, was sent out; she was shipping them at five P.M. on Wednesday, previously to pro ceeding to Chatham to be paid off. Rear-Admiral Hornby, C. 8., was at Valparaiso August 28, but his flag-ship, the Asia, 84, Captain Stopford, was absent on a month's cruise, and was expected back to Valparaiso in the course of a fort night. Dr. Clarke, of the Meander, 44, Captain the Hon. H. Keppel, died at Port Essington, and Mr. Craw ford, the assistant-surgeon in charge of the marine de tachment, withdrawn from that place, was appointed to the vacancy on board the Meander. CERTIFICATES FOR WIDOWS' PENSIONS.—The Lords of the Admiralty have, on the application of certain widow pensioners, been pleased to permit that a cer tificate of identification by a magistrate shall he con sidered a sufficient substitute for that of any clergy man, as required before the payment of quarterly annuities. The official letter of compliance is dated Oct. 14, 1850, and states—" Madam,—Having laid before my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty your letter of the 26th ultimo, I am commanded by their Lordships to acquaint you that they have di rected the Collector of Customs at Falmouth to re ceive the certificate of identity, signed by a magistrate instead of a clergyman, as well as the declaration.— J. H. HAY, pro Sec." Mr. Henry Torrens Somerville, late naval cadet of her Majesty's ship Cleopatra, died on the 23d instant, in the 14th year of his age. Her Majesty's steam-vessel Banshee, which arrived yesterday from Pater-yard, Pembroke, performed the passage (over 180 miles) in fourteen hours. Before paying off she will try her rate of speed with the Caradoc, at the measured mile in Stokes' Bay. Both vessels are about the same size and horse power, yachts in their shape and fittings, with only one boiler, to make room for stowage, and fitted with Mr. Grant's distilling galley. These vessels would do well for the coast of Africa. Caradoc, iron steamer of 650 tons, and 350-horse power, built by Ditchburn and Mare, late one of the Holyhead packets, was taken into dock at Ports mouth on Wednesday, to have her bottom examined and cleaned. About two years and a half ago she was paid over with Mr. Hay's composition, and since has received a coating of red lead. Her bottom was considerably foul from grass and weeds, some few muscles, and some little coraline. The weeds and grass came off with a slight touch of a broom, and there was no oxide or corrosion of the plates. The composition was still hard, but rubbed off in places, the red lead was nearly all off. It is said the Caradoc is to be fairly tried with the Banshee, of a similar size and horse power ; the latter , designed by 0. Lang, Esq. After the trial, one of the boilers of the Caradoc is to be taken out. She has now two, one before the engine and the other abaft; the boilers, with the engines at present occupy more space than the best half of the vessel, and by landing one of the boilers the steamer will be sufficiently fast, and more useful for general purposes than she is at present; though one boiler will scarcely supply steam fur both engines, unless worked expansively. The Caradoc was paid off in excellent condition, both as to the vessel and her beautiful fittings, and also as to her engines and gear. Lightning steam-yacht tender, Master-Comman der Petley, that arrived at Portsmouth from Ply mouth ,on Wedncsday, sailed the same afternoon for Wool with. Pluto, 3, steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Joliffe, with the mails from the coast of Africa, had lett Fayal three days before the Rattlesnake arrived there, consequently she may be hourly expected at Devonport or Portsmouth. Portland, 50, Captain Chads, flag-ship of Rear- Admiral Moresby, C. 8., will be ready to leave De vonport harbour on the 26th. She is now only a dozen blue jackets short. Captain Leroux, R.N., died at his residence in Oxford place, Plymouth, on the 18th instant. Letters from the Caledonia, dated Mahon, October 10, state that the Mediterranean fleet were then in Mahon Bay. The Queen has lost 30 men by cholera. The fleet, it was expected, would winter at Malta. The Dutch merchant ship King William 11., Cap tain J. Kooger, from Batavia in 160 days, which has been up Channel as far as the Start, where she ob tained fresh provisions, was blown back to this port yesterday. The emigrant ship Jenny Lind, Captain Joseph Taylor, which left Plymouth on the 28th of February last, arrived at Adelaide on the 7th of June. Her passengers have inserted in the Adelaide Times of Midsummer-day a testimonial speaking in high terms of the conduct of the master, officers, and crew during the passage from England. Letters have been received from the Bellerophon, Captain Baynes, dated Gibraltar, October U. She has experienced a very severe passage of three weeks from Malta to the Rock. The cholera had left the ship, and the crew were all well, but she was placed in quarantine. WOOLWICH, OCT. 2 The Was 4.—p steam-slo o p, Commander Crozier, has received her sailing orders, and will leave Woolwich at one o'clock P.M. to morrow. and the three marten() towers lately erected, viz., the two at Pembroke, and the western one just finished, are the result of these reports. A fortification of considerable strength at the Stack Rock has now been commenced, and will be completed in two years, the contractor having engaged to complete the work within that time. This erection is intended for the defence and protection of the entrance to the haven, and on its summit will be placee three guns of great calibre. These will be mounted on circular plat forms, thus commanding every approach to the tower and harbour, from whatever point of the compass. On the completion of this tower at the Stack Rock, another of considerably greater size and strength will be erected in the haven, and in the course of the en suing year a fortification at Pembroke of a still more formidable character, for the defence of the dockyard and arsenal will be commenced.—Portsmouth Times, and Naval Gazette.

Charles Kelly, a young man of resvctable exterior, porter in the employ of Messrs. Williams and Clapham, the jewellers, of the Strand, was placed at the bar be tore Mr. Henry, charged on suspicion of being con nected with the robbery lately committed on their prumizei. Mr. Thomas Clapham, one of the firm, stated that the prisoner had been in their employ for the past six years, at a salary of 30s. He acted as porter, and lived on the premises with his wife and family. No one else had live din the house for some time past. On Monday evening last witness left his business about half-past eight o'clock, the shop-boy at the time putting up the shutters, and ?4,1r. Whishaw, the assistant, depositing the valuable property in an iron sa l e, which was st cretly pl,ced in the wall and cuvered with a wainscoating. l'he prisoner knew that all the valuables were kept there. When the shop boy and the assi!tant had gone the pre mises were in the custody of the prisoner. The prisoner reminded Mr. Clapham that he was on Mouthy eight out till a very late hour on an errand for the firm. Witness, in continuation, said that their loss was, as far us they have ascertained, beta een 1,6001. and 1,700., and that he, fully beliesed that no entry was effete from the street, as there was no vlolence oc any one of the doors. Mr. John Whishaw, a,sistantl to the prosecutor, stated that on Monday night he left everything. per it et - ) safe. The boy was in the shop at the time. He kept the key of the sa'e, in woich were placed all ill., oth,r keys of the asses of the window,,, ..nd shop, as was also the cash-box. Witness was satis fied in his own mind that no one had entered the shop in the evening and secreted himself on the premises, as he was very particular in examining the safety of the shop. When he came the following morning the shop was i❑ the custody of the police. The property taken consisted of watches, brilliants, loose diamonds, chains, bracelets, &c., and was of the most costly description. Inspector Dodd said, that on the morning of the:22d inst., trom information he received, he went to the prose cutor's, and there found the prisoner in the shop, in the most agitated state. He appeared as if he had been up all night, and a cup of tea and brandy, of which he had been drinking, was on the counter. On an examina tion of the premises witness felt sir isfied in his own mind that there had been no burglary, but that the thief or thieves had been let into the house, and then made off with the booty. There were several chisels, jemmies, skeleton keys, &c., which were placed about the premises purposely in order to convey an idea that burglars had been in the house. The rob bery was first discovered by the prisoner, who came down and found the premises rifled. Wit ness, on examining the shop door, found that a key was in the lock which was of a most extraordinary description, as it only worked on the inside, and the real key was at the time iu the prisoner's hand, which he esid he always took to bed with him. The prisoner here turned deadly pale, and exclaimed, " Why, they must be secreted in the house." The key in ►he luck was made from the one in the prisoner's hand, and was made in the skeleton fashion. Charles Clinton, shop-boy to the prosecutors, stated that he left the premises perfectly safe on Monday night, and on going on Tuesday morning the house was in the custody of the police. Constable 120 F deposed that the prisoner called him at half-past seven o'clock, and told him to come, as his employers had been robbed. On the arrival of the ser geant they went in, when the prisoner said, " Ob, this is hew they have secreted themselves on the premises." Inspector Lund had examined the premises, and was satisfied that no forcible entry had ever been male, and From what had transpired he apprehended the prisoner last night, on suspicion of being connected, with others, in the robbery. On taking him to the station he said, " Oh, you will take care to look after those others who ard suspected, for of course you know there arc others." On reaching bis lodgings he found 34 sovereigns in a box, and in the St. Martin's Bank he has 411. The prisoner had nothing to say in answer to the charge, and was remanded till Wednesday next. Ile bore an excellent character. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY AN ERRAND-BOY.- Wii- liem Phillips, a lad about sixteen years of age, was brought before Mr. Hardwick cbargFd with stealing six silver watches, value3ol., the property of his master, Mr. William Payne, watchmaker, 116, New Bond•street. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been in his employ for about eighteen months as errand-boy. On TuesG'ay last, in consequence of being informed that the prisoner had several deplicates in his pocket, he called him into a private room, and ask(.d him how be came possessed of them, and desired him to give them up. The prisoner put his hand into his pocket and gave witness the six duplicates produced, relating to silver watches pledged at various pawnbrokers. Witness asked the prisoner to whom the watches belonged, when he immediately confessed that he had stolen them from prosecutor's stock, and after having pledged them ex pended the proceeds in eating and drinking. Witness then sent for a constable and gave him in charge. Ile now wished to have the prisoner remanded in order to give witness time to look over his stock. Police constable Mould, 143 C, said after he took the prisoner into custody he said be had spent all the money in feasting, and that he had spent 255. in one day for oysters alone. _ _ _ - The prisoner, who did not deny the charge, was re manded till Wednesday next. WESTMINSTER.—(THIS DAY ) John Rooney was brought up before Mr. Broderip, charged with an assault upon Police-constable 45 B. Complainant stated that last night, soon after taelve o'clock, he saw the prisoner drunk and creating a dis turbance in St. Anne's street, and on his ordering him to move on he made a desperate attack upon him, and struck and kicked him severely about the body, at the same time using threatening language towards him. With the assistance of 245 13 he got him to the station-house. The prisoner said, that on Thursday night last his wife was going to fetch him from where he was spend ing the evening, and seeing Police-constable 45 B, she asked him what was the time, when the Policeman said, " Come here, my dear, and I'll tell you." She said she did not want such an answer as that, and he afterwards made use of some very disgusting language to her. He had not seen the policeman since, till last night, when he spoke to him on the subject, and the consequence was that he was very roughly handled and brought to the station-house. Mr. BRODERIP (to 45 B)—Did prisoner say anything to you about insulting his wife? Policeman—He did, Sir; but I know nothing at all abcut it. Mr. BRODERIP—You said noting about this at first. Let me see Mrs. Rooney. The prisoner's wife was then called, and corroborated the statement made by her husband, alleging positively that 45 B was the man who bad insulted her most grossly. Mr. BRODEMP said, considering the charge made against the policeman, he felt bound to send this case to a jury, who would decide what weight should be attached to either statement. He would, therefore, order the pri soner to find bail, himself in 201., and two sureties of 101. each, for his appearance at the Middlesex Sessions. In the meantime orders were given to the inspector in at tendance to make every inquiry into the matter. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Will you permit me to correct an inaccuracy which appears in your report of what occurred at Bow-street yesterday, in cons( queue of my having given Pat Regan into custody for turning night-soil out of a house in Church-lane into the street ? lam made to say that in a certain room " I had seen a woman far advanced in pregnancy." What I did say was, " That I had seen a woman and an infant only a few hours old in the same room," the fact being, I saw them on Sunday week at one o'clock, the child having been born there at six o'clock that morning. Nor is this the only time that I have seen such a sight in this room. On my return from Bow-street yesterday, I found that in the very house from which the man was ejecting the filth, a woman had actually just been de livered, and was, with her child, then lying on the floor of a room tenanted by four families. I shall be much obliged by your insertion of this, as at a meeting of the Paving Commissioners this morning it was stated that your " report was incor rect," and that my statements were "calumnies" and "exaggerated," and that were they to attend tone;s: paper reports they would have enough to do. Per haps this will account for their having taken no no tice of the remonstrance from this place published by you on the sth July, 1849, and the report of your own inspector given on the 8 h of July, 1849. I can only say that if they give me the opportunity, I will prove the truth of everything I have either written or said of this place to the very letter. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOSEPH. BANKS DURHAM. 456, Oxford-street, Oct 24. CHRISTENING OF 'THE INFANT DAUGHTER OF VIS COUNT AND VISCOUNTES.II SEAHAM. - The ceremony of christening the infant daughter of Viscount and Viscountess Seaham took place on Wednesday at St. Michael's Church, Chester-square.

PEMBROKE DOCKYARD. -- Sir Thomas Hastings recently visited Pembroke Dock for the purpose of examining its fortifications. He remained at the Vic toria Royal Hotel for some days, and during his so journ thoroughly inspected the various sites of the proposed fortifications for the defence of the arsenal. The wes'ern inartello tower, for the protection of the dockyard, has been completed; with its heavy artil lery it will prove an efficient means of defence. It is now several years since the fortifications of the haven and the dockyard first engaged the attention of the authorities, and at various times officers of high standing have surveyed and reported on the subject, THE ARMY. DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL SIR PATRICK Ross. —Advices from St. Helena to the 31st of August an nounce the death, after some mouths' illness, of bis Excellency Major-General Sir Patrick Ross, G.C.M.G., K.C.H. He was interred with great so lemnity on the 30th. He was 73 years of age, and had been a long time upon the island as its governor.

The Queen and Prince Albert walked this morning in Osborne Park. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal, and the younger members of the Royal Family, took their accustomed walks and rides. Mr. Thorburn has been honoured with sittings during the week from his Royal Highness Prince Albert, for his portrait in the pictorial group of him self and his brother the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha. The Mayor of Southampton had an interview with Sir George Grey yesterday, at the Home-office.

Dispatches were sent off last evening from the Colonial-office for the Governors of Malta, Ceylon, and Hong-Kong. R. WRIGHTSON'S EVENINGS WITH ALFRED TEN NTSON AND ELIZA COOK. We have the gratification of stating, that an arrangement has been entered into with Mr. Robert Charles Wrightson, late private secretary and chamber reader to the Earl of Cloncurry, and formerly pupil of the celebrated Shakesperian Lecturer, Charles Pemberto❑, Esq , to deliver two lectures on the above popular and en chanting poets at the Mechabics' Institution In this town ; the time fixed is, we believe, Tuesday the sth, and Thursday the 7th November next.—Derby Reporter. Peto and Betts, the eminent contractors, have undertaken to reclaim the Norfolk estuary of 32,000 acres, and so to drain the Bedford Level, and the adjacent low lands, comprising nearly half a million of acres, as to get rid almost entirely of the present expensive system of drain age by n ind and steam. The land proprietors hare con tributed 60,000/. towards the cost ; and an equal cum has been voted by the corporation of Lynn, in consideration of the improvement of the Ouse. SOUTH-EAWERN RAILWAY.—THE BRIDGE OVER JOLNER-STRZET.—A special general meeting of the East Division of the Southwark Paving Commissioners was held yesterday, at the office, for the purpose of taking into con sideration the state of the iron bridge across Joiner-street, with a view to adopt such measures as the safety of the pub lic and the traffie might require; Mr. Nash, the chairman of the board, in the chair. It was agreed upon that the inquiry should be further adjourned until Sir John Rennie and Mr. Brunell should make their report to the board, in ad dition to the opinion of Mr. Barlow, which was now taken. Liz NEW VIOE-CHANCELLOR.—We believe we are not premature in announcing that the vacant office of Vice- Chancellor has been conferred on Baron Rolfe. With re spcct to the two Vice-Chancellorships, it is to be observed that the statute 5 Vict. c. 5, s. 10, under which the two last Vice-Chancellors were appointed, provides, that upon a va cancy occurring in the office of the Vice-Chancellor first ap pointed, it shall be filled up; but that in the case of the one second appointed, it shall not be filled up. Independently, therefore, of the question of any further necessity for the Vice-Chancellors, as the law stands,. one appointment only can now be made. The question of continuing three Vice- Chancellors is one altogether for the Legislature ; but we be lieve no proposal to that effect will be made by the Govern ment, the pressure of equity business, which ca ll e d f or an increase in the number of the judges in the Court of Chancery at the time of the passing of the A c t, h av i ng very material l y diminished. —Evening Paper. TUE AECIIBISIIOP OF WESTMINSTER.—W e are assured, on good authority, that the appointment of Cardi• nal Wiseman as Archbish o p o f W estminster, in conjunction with the partition, by the P ope, o f England into Roman Catholic districts, has created cons id era b le displeasure, as well as surprise in Downing -street. We are not in a position to say whether the matter vpis brought befor e th e C a bi net at i ts meeting . . on Wednesday, b u t we d o k now that it has formed the subject of serious conversation between the Premier and some 9t his colleagues. At present, as far as our information; goes, it is not the intention of Lord John Russell to take any definite step i n th e matter, b ut arrangements are in progress for making a great metropolitan demonstration on the subject, which will be immediately followed by demonstrations of a similar kind in Liverpool, Manchester, and most other large towns in England and Scotland. We are enabled to add that many Roman Catholics will cordially join in these expres sions of public indignation at the arrogance of the Church of Rome, on the double ground that her conduct in this matter is a virtual attack on the supremacy of her Majesty, and is calculated, in the end, to do injury to the cause of Roman Catholicism in England by the feeling of hostility which it must nece'sarily engender in the minds of all her Majesty's loyal subjects towards a religion whose earthly head could havehad the effrontery to act as he has done.— Advertiser. CATHOLIC Cnuacu.—We are glad to learn that the Right Rev. Dr. Delany has formally appointed the Rev. John Clancy Catholic Administrator of the North Parish ; an office of high distinction, and one eminently merited by the Rev. Gentleman in question, who is sincerely respected by all who know him, and who can therefore Appreciate his modest worth, and untiring but unobtrusive zeal. The Rev. John Clancy has been for several years the senior curate of the parish of which he is now the administrator, and has been over twenty years in the ministry; and we venture to say that no man in the Church has more steadily retained the affectionate regard of his bock, and the esteem of his br , •thren, than he has throughout that long period.—Cork Examiner. ROYAL ARTILLERY.—WOOLWICIT, OCT. 24.—The large detachment of this corps serving at Shoeburyness, for the purpose of carrying on experiments at that practice range, under the command of Captain Walker, has returned to head-quarters here for the winter season.

OXFORD AND WORCESTER, AND SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER.—We have much pleasure in stating that the Shrewsbury and Chester and Birmingham Railway Com panies have entered into a most important and mutually advantageous arrangement with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company, the immediate effects of which will be to enable the latter company to complete the best portion of their line, namely, that between Worcester and Dudley, and so bring into profitable use a million and a half of capital (tbe amount hitherto expended on the works); while the ultimate result will be a vast increase in the receipts of the two Shrewsbury lines. We are informed it is intended that the Oxford line shall run into that of the Stour Valley at Tipton (about a mile north of Dudley) and from thence rid Wolverhampton to Shrewsbury, Chester, Birkenhead, and Liverpool. The Shrewsbury com panies, instead of finding money, are to work the line and take the receipts, dividing the profits in certain proportiens with their Oxford partners, and the latter will he enabled to raise the required funds to complete the railway on the security of this arrangement. If the con sequences to result from these measures were to stop here they would be most important for the various companies we have named; but when we reflect that the Great Western will assuredly complete the line between Oxford and Wor cester, as it is open between Worcester and Dudley, and that thereby a new route will be opened, not only between Lon don and Liverpool, but also between Southampton, the en tire south coast, and Liverpool, the prospective benefit to the various companies must be almost incalculable. Nor is this the only source from whence advantages may be expected to flow to the Shrewsbury railways. We understand that the Shrewsbury and Hereford line is likely to be commenced in a few days, and that the raising of the first sod of that railway will be the signal to begin another line to the south, the completion of which will once more bring Bristol and South Wales into close connexion with Liverpool rid Shrews bury and Chester.-- Chester Courant.

SU - borne Journal. AMERICAN NEWS. THREE DAYS LATER FROM AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, THUR S DAY. The United S ates mail steam , shio Atlantic, Cap tain West, arrived in the Mersey, from New 'York, shortly after eleven o'clock this forenoon, with nearly 100 passengers. She left New York at noon on the 12th instant, thus performing the passage in twelve day'. _ _ The Europa, Captai❑ Lott, arrived at New York at nine o'clock on the morning of the 11th inst., after a passage of twelve and a half days. The news brought by the Atlantic is unimportant. The elections were causing a great deal of excitement. The election of a Whig mayor at Baltimore had led to desperate rioting in that city, in which two persons lost their lives. The parties whose lives have been sacrificed were named Edmond Mitchell and Francis Lafferty- ; both parties were shot. The arrival of a number of liberated convicts from Bermuda was causing much anxiety at Baltimore, where several of this el:l,s have recently landed, and energetic measures were about being taken to prevent such persons being landed there. Jenny Lind sung at a charity concert at Boston on the eve❑ing of the 9th of October instant. The re ceipts were upwards of 10,000 dolls., and this amount is to be distributed by the Hon. Edward Everett. The Nightingale was to leave Boston for New York on the 19th by specisl train, which WAS placed at her disposal free of charge. The Fugitive Slave law was still occupying a promi nent place in the public mind, and public meetings were being held in the north calling for its total and uncondi.ional repeal. Mr. Webster, Secretary of State, arrived in New York on Saturday morning, and would leave for Marshfield on the 19th instant. Since Congress dis solved all the plans, discussions, and party tactics have been transferred from Washington to New York, where politicians are straining away at every pos sible point. The halls of Congress are deserted, and all the political movements are originated and sus tained in the spscious halls of the Astor and the Irving Houses, where politics and puddings are freely dissected. The Whig Convention of the Sixth District of Massachusetts has taken some steps, by passing reso • lutions for the proper administration of the laws with respect to fugitive slaves. In our State, the abo litionists are also at work, making all possible politi cal capital out of the slavery question, and the laws recently passed. News from the south, under date October 11, brings intelligence that a virulent disease, supposed to be cholera, had broken out at Kernstown, Virginia. The steamer Meteor, whilst on her passage from the Red River to New Orleans, on the 22d inst., caught fire and was burned to the water's edge. A valuable vein of copper ore has been discovered about twenty miles from Philadelphia, on the Schuyl kill river. From Canada we learn there has been a great agri cultural fair and cattle show at Niagara, and prizes have been awarded for the best specimens of horned cattle, horses, sheep, agricultural implements, do mestic manufactures, dairy and agricultural produce, the fine arts, &c. The Governor-General has retuseed from New York, accompanied by his Countess, who has been spending a frw weeks on the seashore at Long Island, for the benefit of her health. COMMERCIAL. The Europa arrived at New York on the 11th, with Liverpool dates to the 28th ult. The news being only three days later than by the Atlantic, was not of im portance. Stocks were in fair demand (October 12), and prices sustained. Government stocks are not offered to any great f x tent. United States Sixes, 1867 and 1868, are in fair demand, at 1171 to 1174; and the bonds of 1868 with coupons, at 119 to 1191. Money is exceedingly abundant, and the rates on desirable securities low. Exchange stood es follows:—On London, 1101 to 1164; on Paris, sf. 171 to sf. 16; on Amsterdam, 40,1 to 41: on Hamburgh, 35i to 36; on Bremen, 79,i to 80. Cotton— Our la,t, review of the market was written for the Niagara on the Bth inst. The sales of the 9th were 1,200 bales, at full prices; 10th, 1,500 at extreme rates for all qualities; and for good ordinary to middling 1 cent. was paid. The accounts of the growing crop from all quarters are very unfavourable. PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 11.—The sales of cotton reach only about 300 bales to-day at former prices; the market closes without much demand, but very firm. Flour is steady with a limited inquiry for shipment, but about 500 tall. sold at 4 dolls. 8 lie. for standard superfine, and 500 half brls. at 5 dolls. 61. the pair. The home trade buy sparingly at about former quoted rates. Rye flour is scarce and wanted, at 3 dolls. per brl. Corn meal, sales of 500 brls. Penna meal are reported at 3 dolls., arid 500 brls. Brandywine at 3* dolls, per brl. Wheat in steady demand, but the arrivals, about 10,000 bushels, have been pretty much all taken in at 103 c. to 104 c. for good Penns:yvanian red, and 108 c. to 110 c. for white— the latter for prime. Rye is wanted at 68c. with small receipts, Corn—very little offering, and the demand fair, with sales of 2,500. bushels. Pennsylvania yellow at 645.

ITA llNlED......rL,AThellpoßlicoe areßßEit Y OF J EW ELLERY Tri still actively en gaged in pu rsu i t of the roLbers, but up t o th e present nothing ha s transpired which could enable the detectives, wh o bare the case in hand, to fix upon the guilty persons w ithout runnin g great a ST risk. They still suspect the two parties that we alluded to in our first report of the robbery, and they believe that they will now very shortly have the delinquents at the bar of justice. The following is a portion of the valuable property taken, but until the whole. of the stock-books of Messrs. Clapham and Williams are looked over they are ignorant of the total loss they have sustained by this daring burglary; —250 gold rings, set with diamonds, rubies, emerals, &c. 120 gold keeper rings • 130 gold signet rin g s, o nyx, and car nelians ; 90 gold and silver watches; 80 gold guards and chains; 15 single stone diamond rings; and a large number of valuable bracelets and other jewellery Several of the watches have been discovered under circumstances of a most extraordinary nature, which at present it would be unwise to make public. Since the robbery the Commissioners of Police have issued a number of handbills warning house keepers against leaving their street doors open, and also to be on their guard when strangers are waiting in their passages. Extra iron-bound shutters are being fixed at many of the silversmiths in the Strand. MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY OF 350/. IN BANg-NT —Within the last few days Mrs. Lin g ham, a married lady residing with her husband at No. 21, Lacy-terrace, 1. enton.. place, Walworth, close to the principal entrance to the Sur rey Gardens, discovered that she had been plundered of Bank of England notes to the a mount of 3501., and the robbery and abstraction of the prop ert y seems envelo ped in the greatest possible mystery. It appears, from the information conveyed to the police, that in the month of April, 1849, Mr. and Mrs. Lingham sold out property in the Funds amounting to $OO/., and each took 40W. Mrs. Lingham placed her portion in a cash-box, which she kept locked up in a drawer in her bedroom. From time to time since that period she added to the stock, to that by the time the rob bery was committed, the whole should have amounted to at least COOL When about to make the last deposit, Mrs. Lingham thought the bulk of notes bad diminished, and this circumstance induced her to count them, when, to her great consternation, she fo und 3501. mis sing. There i s another siegular cirumstaece connected with the robbery, and that is, that from a book i n which Mr s. Lingham had the amount and numbers of the notes entered, two leaves were torn out, and by this means all trace of the Missing notes is destroyed. The officers, however, nre doing what they can to find out the perpetrators of the robbery. We have reason to believe that before next Hilar y Term, Sir John Bomilly will take his 'seat on the ben c h as Master of the Rolls; but that his able services in the cause of law reform will be demanded by the present Government, so long as they remain an administration. - L . ~ "_ ~',""~: 4 )‘ , 1) :77 tr 5 0 •• sO4 0 10% -p .1 9 1 1 1970 '4JA 14 44 1 6 15 4~ 7 .o dig , 1 d o '..0 • , •. • . • 1;
