------ - MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. , CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. TIMES.,-The premium on gold at Paris is 11 per I mile, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. .10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 44 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 57k, it follows that gold is 0.53 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 4304 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101jd. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 84; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 91, it follows that gold is 0.35 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. One of the leading features of railway enterprise , w hich is manifesting itself at this moment with an extraordinary de gree of activity, is the employment of the vast numbers of persons who have any pretension to be called members of the survey ins; and engineering professions in the preparations for the 30th instant, when the plans, sections, and books of reference must be ready for deposit with the clerk of the peace. All of them receive the most liberal or extravagant pay, and the merest novices receive engage ments, for which they throw up, with or without the consent of their principals, their regular employment, and nearly all ordinary and routine business is at a stand. Of the extent of occupation which has devolved upon these professioes in coc sequence of the prevailing excitement, some idea may he oh 7 tained from the useful statistical tables publiehed in the Railway Ably:black for 1846 ; and, as really eminent men are not numerous in those departments of professional skill, it necessarily follows that the whole work is in comparatively few hands. From these tables it appears that one engineer is engaged on 11 of the new lines, another on 14, a third on 16, a fourth on 17, and a fifth on 21 lines. The same may be, and no doubt are, engaged on other lines ; for many of those on the list have no en gineer's name attached to them, and it may be safely assumed that the execution in a proper manner of such a quantity of work is beyond human power. This is not labour, it should be observed, which will admit of careless or itnserfect execution. The fate of the . Cambridge and Lincoln line last session, the Bill for which was lost in consequence of a mere clerical error connected with the surveys, shows how important it is to the success of a new line that they should be made with the utmost care and accuracy. Men of honour will, doubtless, in many cases throw up their engagements, under such a total impossi bility of execution, and this to many of the new companies will - furnish at the same time a decent excuse for withdraw ing altogether, when they could not otherwise have devised one. Letters from the northern counties, received in the City this morning, describe the activity and excitement as universal, with regard to the engineering and mapping move ment; and notice is especially taken of the class of persons who are so employed, ene letter remarking that "lads who have only just left school are permitted to take particulars which require experience in some of the nicest questions of real property." It may easily be antici pated what a figure some of them will make when the time for the great ordeal arrives. The death of Mr. Irving is an event which belongs to the history of the commerce of Lon don, and it has formed to-day one of the principal topics on 'Change. Fur honourable conduct, strict fidelity to his engagements under the most adverse circumstances, and for a kind disposition to those who have had their way to make in the world, he has had few equa ls in mercantile life. The importance of the house of which he has been so many years a partner is well known. Their transactions have extended to all parts of the world, though they have lain more par ticularly in the West Indies. Mr. Irving was a stanch sup porter of the colonial interests, and took the lead in forming the Colonial Bank and Royal Steam-packet Companies. More than once he received the thanks of the inhabitants of M mritius for his attention to their welfare. For nearly forty years he was a Member of the House of Commons, where he sat for the last two Parliaments as representative of the county of Antrim. In politics he was a steady and consistent Conservative. His loss is as much regretted by his private friends as it is by those who, during a long course of years, have had business to transact with him. HERALD.—The approach of the period for the with drawal of the fractional notes for 255. and 305., now in cir ceiation in Ireland, is likely to be attended with some unto ward consequences, which could not have been anticipated by the framers of the measure to abolish notes of these de nominations. The circumstances strikingly illustrate the state of society in many parts of that benighted county. The poorer class of occupiers, who are the principal holden; of the fractional notes, have become alarmed, under the im pression that they will be of r.o value after the 6th of De cember next, when the new banking law comes into opera tion. In the eolith and west of the kingdom these frac tional notes have been presented at the banks for payment in considerable quanties, and a smart rue has been felt, principally for silver, and even the bank of the great Agi tator has not .escaped the effect of the popular delusion on the subject. All persons acquainted with the character of the Irish peasantry are aware how easily they are misled in matters connected with the paper circula tion, nod will readily comprehend how they have come under the influence of a panic without any just ground. From what we have learned, the Irish press has been negligent in not setting the people right on the subject without a moment's delay, and the more especially at a time like the present. when the reports about the potato disease will have rendered the people more than usually susceptible to bad impressions. The commercial letters received by the West India mail were delivered this morning, but they contain few details of much interest in addition to the extracts which appeared in the Herald this morning. All parties writing to their con signees dwell chiefly on the subject of railways, and no doubt seemed to be entertained, even by the most sceptical, but that, if judiciously constructed, they will afford a remune rating return on the capital invested, as well as be of incal culable benefit to the colonies by promoting improvement. The merchants connected with Mexico are at length gra tified with the account of the settlement of the tariff, which they consider will g ive no inconsiderable stimulus to trade , if the executive Government has sufficient strength and energy to carry it out in good faith. Much, however, re quires to he done to check the oppressions and peculations of • the subordinate officers of the Customs, who were thoroughly corrupted under Santa Anna's regime. The official account of the Committee of South American bondholders states that the receipts by the packet, on account of the Mexican dividend, amount to 80,895 dollars. The in tentions of the present Government are undoubtedly honour able, and all that appears requisite is that they be supported by the country. There are, however, still latent fears that the partisans of Santa Anna are intriguing to excite dis turbance. TUESDA Y NIGHT'S GAZETTE BANKRUPTS. James Challen, brewer, Odiam.

SUICIDE BY PRUSSIC ACID.—On Tuesday Mr. Bedford concluded an inquest upon the body of Mr. Willibm Smith, newsvender, late of Little Marlborough-street, aced 34._ From the evidence it appeared that the deceased had been rather low• spirited and dejected. Last Wednesday, after having had a friend to dine with him, and with whom he parted in apparent health and spirits, his wife had to go out for some coals, and upon her return he, in the kindest manner, desired her to come and sit upon his knee. She did so, when she instantly perceived that he was very faint, and attempted to arouse him, but in vain, as he was perfectly in sensible. Dr. Johnson was instantly sent for, and, upon his arrival, found him dead. About a month before, deceased purc r hased a d rac h m o f essent i a l oil of almonds at Mr. Rae's, Wa dour- street, alleging that he required it for pastry. After his death the bottle was found emptied of its contents upon a shelf in the room. Dr. Johnson, assisted by Dr. van, of the Polytechnic, made a post martens examination, and detected in the stomach a sufficient quantity of prussic acid to destroy life. The jury returned a verdict of " Tem p gary Ll 4, LONDON‘ TlitlitSDAY MORNING, NOVE T H F. THE ASSAM COMPANY. • Yesterday a special general meeting of the proprietors of this Corporation, established to promote the cultivation of the tea plant in Upper Assam, was held fen the purpose of de claring a dividend, for the receipt of a report from the Court of Directors, and upon other affairs. The chair was taken at one o'clock by Sir G. de H. Larpent, Bart. The minutes of the last. Court having been read, The CHAIRMAN read the following repeat, after remark ing that the present meeting was specially convened, ac cording to the understanding come to at the last Court, and that he was happy to state that the Directors had a report to submit which they trusted would meet with the approba tion of the proprietors. Since the report had been drawn up there had been more satisfactory accounts received. The following are the material points in the report of the di ' rectors : In the first place, they have to congratulate you on the attainment of an object which from the commencement they have always deemed of paramount importance, viz., the in corporation a the Company. The last advises received from Calcutta have hi - Might us t he gratifying intelligence that the Act incorporating the Assam Company had just been passed by the Governor-General in Council, and we have the plea sure to inform yon that the Act itself is perfectly satisfactory, By this measure the Assam Company has become a corpora tion, your liability as shareholders has been limited, and the lusiness of the Company will henceforth be carried on with all the facilities which the corporate character affords. " Your Directors have not received an account of the pro duce of the currant year, and are unable to inform you of its probable amount. But in consequence of an unusual and extraordinary drought in the province, during the months in a hich the first pickings are gathered, which re tarded the vegetation of the plants, they have reason to believe that the produce will fall somewhat short of their expectations, but to what extent they have no means of knowing. The only accounts of the manufacture that have been received are up to the 30th June, including four months out of the eight of the tea-making season, to which period about 100,000Ibs. of tea bad been m2de. Great attention is now being bestowed in India on the classifying, sorting, and packing of our teas, and your Directors hope that an im provement in these important details will give the produce of the current year a higher Character and greater value in our market. The greater part of the produce of 1844 has now been received, and a sale took place on the sth instant. Your Directors believe that the concern is now being worked to profit, although to what extent they will probably not have the means of ascertaining with accuracy until they have seen that the expenditure continues to be kept down to the present amount. They consider, however, that by making a dividend of 10s. a share out of the profits of the Company, they will be on the side of safety, and will have ample funds remaining in their hands to carry on the con cern for the ensuing year. Accordingly they have declared a dividend of 10s. a chars to be payable to the shareholders who shall stand registered in the Company's books on the Ist January next." Sir G. DE H. LARPENT said, that the Act of incorpora tion had, as passed in India, received the approval of the legal advisers of the Company. There would, after paying the amount of the dividend, and after providing fur the expense of the crop of 1846, including home charges, re main a considerable balance. The Directors had enforced the necessi;y of strict economy in Assam, as that was the best policy in all establishments, especially in the infai cy of such a one as this. It was not contemplated that the whole expenses in Assam would exceed 1,000. a month. The attention of the Court had been directed with earnest ness to the improvement of the quality of the teas. The prices realised at the last public sales of Assam teas were as follow :—For 221 chests fr m• 2s. to 2s. 6d. per lb., for 31 chests 3s. per lb., for 306 chests Is. 6d. to 25., for 356 cheats Is. 3d. to is. 6d. per lb., arid for the lower breaks reduced rates. The Assam Company's teas were now taken by the trade currently throughout the country.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. TITk considered the report to be most satisfactory. The produce of last year was 186,6441b5. It was expected that the crop of this year would be much more considerable, but the drought that had prevailed, would, as he understood, prevent the yield coming much above that of last year. Was that the case? The CHAIRMAN replied in the affirmative; but the re turns of this year's crop only embraced the pickings of a few months. In reply to some remarks respecting the dismissal of Mr. Bruce, the secretary, Mr. Przinnaux remarked that that gentleman bad been engaged at the outset of the concern for ten years. The Directors had not been satisfied with his administration, and had compromised his claim for one year's salary, or 1,2501. It was incidentally remarked, that the charter of the Assam Company in India was for nine years only, but that there was no doubt of its renewal, as no other company had a standing there but the Assam Company. After the adoption of the report, and a vote of thanks to the Directors, the proceedings terminated. ••••••••• MILITARY AFFRAY AT WINDSOR. WINDSOR, TRESDAT.—This morning an investigation took place at the Town-hall, before a full bench of magistrates, re specting the alleged assault of the 2d Life Guards on the in habitants of Windsor on Saturday evening last. The magistrates present were Thomas Adams, Esq., Mayor ; Robert Blunt, Esq. ; William Legh, Esq. ; Thomas Clarke, Esq. ; Robert Tebbatt, Esq. ; John Clode, Esq. ; and John Bannister, Esq. The hall was crowded by the principal inhabitants of the tow n. The first witness examined was James Dobson, sergeant of the police, who stated that he was on duty on Saturday night, between seven and eight o'clock. Saw some of the townspeople coming up Peascod-street, carrying a man on their back ; the mob was increasing. Mr. Lovegrove, of High-street, said something to the mob when opposite his house. Townshend, the man who was carried, got down, and immediately one of Mr. Lovegrove's windows was broken. The mob stood hooting for some time, and then carrying the man, went down Theme- street. When they came to the Rea Lion, three Life Guardsmen were standing at the doois The greater part of the mob stopped, and shouted " Walter for ever I" and some of them jostled against the soldiers. No assault was committed, and 1 urged the townspeople to go on and not interfere with the soldiers. A young man, named Flowers, came out of Sharratt's with Mr. Walter's flags, and a young man, named Wellman, was by the side of him. The mob followed them up the street, and they all turned back. Finding the mob getting noisy, when opposite Agar's, I strove to take the sags away from Flowers, but I fancied I was unable to do so. 1 left the sol diers at the Red Lion. I followed the mob up the street, and a g,reat portion of them went with the flags into the Black Horse, Park-street. After they had been there about ten minutes, two of the Life Guards came out, followed by Towns hend and three others. I went across with the inspector, and desired that the flags should not be brought out again, other wise we should take them into custody. Several of the mob then dispersed, and we went up into the town. As we got opposite Mr. Holderness's, the surgeon, some one said, " Cut away police, two soldiers are murdering the civilians." On reaching the market-place, we saw several making for Castle hill. 11tet them near Adams's corner, and Gibbons said, " Come on, I think the soldiers have killed Townshend." Dia. covered Townshend near Thumwoon's office, lying in the road. Got him on the pavement, and took him away on a stretcher. There was a mob of civilians round him. Saw no soldiers. Townsend appeared to be bleeding from his neck and shoulder. Shortly afterwards saw Mr. Blunt, a magistrate, requesting four or five soldiers to retire, which they did immediately and went towards their barracks. Shortly afterwards about a dozen more soldiers came up, and they also went down Peascod-street, in their way home. They had scarcely turned the corner of the street, when the mob began hissing and hallooing after them. The soldiers returned and began swearing. The people ran in all direc tions, and so did the soldiers, and so did I. They ran round and through the market-house, near which a woman was screaming, " They have killed my son." I there found George Hill lying on his back. Told the mother not to make such a row. - Placed Hill at Mr. Fester's (the chemist), door, and went after the soldiers, and saw, among others, Large and Flowers abusing and exciting the soldiers, who were about eight or ten in number. Mr. Blunt, the magistrate, came up, and the soldiers went quietly away. I and another policeman endeavoured to prevent the civilians from following the soldiers, but the mob overpowered us, and followed the soldiers down the street. There was one soldier, a farrier, they called Harry, rather tipsy, who would return to the market-house, and eight or ten of his comrades came back with him, but they made no disturbance, and afterwards went quietly away. The police afterwards formed themselves across the street, and prevented the mob following the sol diers. Several passed through us to go to the barracks, the mob hissing them very much, and we had great difficulty in keeping the mob back. About ten the miltary had all re turned to the barracks, and the mob dispersed. Several of the soldiers had sticks—some were walking-sticks. Several of the civilians had also sticks. I took a brick-bat from a civilian named Hughes, and others had stones. William Gibbons, another policeman, saw a mob of about two hundred opposite Darling, the grocer's house, in Peascod street, between eight and nine o'clock in the evening; there were no military present. Followed them into Thames street, where they met four or five Life Guardsmen, and commenced hissing them. Begged them not to interfere with the soldiers. On returning to the High-street, saw the Guards driving the people out of the market-honse. There were about twenty or thirty soldiers knocking the people about with sticks. By di:ection of a magistrate, went to the Horse Barracks fur a picquet, but the corporal on guard would not send one without a written order from the Mayor. When I returned, saw a large mob trying to force themselves down Peascod-street. No military were there. Saw Towns bend with a stick, flourishing as he was riding on a man's shoulders. Lald hold of him, and endeavoured to persuade him to leave, but he wrenched himself from my grasp. This was the man who had his face blackened. It was not five minutes after he got away that I saw him carried away on a stretcher. A man named Collier carried Townshend on his back, and a person, named Large catried Plumridge. Charles Clarke, sergeant of police—Saw the soldiers going home, when one of them complained of being much hurt in the head, and asked his companions if they were going off after being served in that way? They all immediately re turned, and ran towords the market-house. Saw Hill - and Large knocked down. Saw a number of drunken men halloo ing and yelling after the military when they were going quietly down the street. William Benham, another policeman, spoke as to the row, and saw a soldier knock a man down whom they had mis taken for Angelo, the fighter. His comrade said he should not have done so, as the man was innocent. Mr. John Clode, wine merchant, stated that he saw near the market-house the soldiers pursuing the mob, who were flying in all directions. 'I his was about nine o'clock. Saw a soldier strike a man, who, after reeling a little, fell down. After he was down the soldier struck hiiu several times with his fist and a stick, and then kicked him in the side or sto mach. Another person afterwards came up and struck the man. The soldiers afterwards rushed across the market place, and struck right and left. Saw them strike a woman and a boy. There were a great many women in the crowd, sonic crj ing out, " Walter for ever." About a quarter to eleven, saw solders pass by my house at Augusta-place, on their way to the barracks, in twenties and thirties , most of them in a tipsy state. When I first saw the crowd they were waving one of Walter's flag, and cheering at the houses of those they considered favourable to him, and hissing at those they considered unfavourable. William John Astle—Saw the soldiers knock down men, women, and children indiscrimately, some with their regi mental canes, and others with thick sticks. Robert Weyman swore that he was struck by the soldiers because he wore Walter's colours—that he also saw five or six soldiers go into Mr. Adams's shop and purchase brooms, that they cut the birch oft' and left it in the shop, and came out with the handles, and layed them about on the people right and left ; that they knocked down one poor man and his wife and child, about three months old. Mr. Adams and the whole of his shopmen were afterwards sworn, and all distinctly stated that they had no brooms in the shop, neither had any person come into the shop on the day in question to purchase any. Major Williams, who was present to watch the proceed ings, stated that at five minutes past ten o'clock on the even. ing in question, the whole of the soldiers, with the exception of one man, were reported to him to be in barracks. The inquiry was adjourned to Thursday next. THE MILITIA.—CIerks of sub-divisions are now being called upon for the date of their appointment. Thi s is loppood to be preparatory to a ballot for the Militia THE LATE ELOPEMENT. The fact of the marriage of the Lady Adela - Villiers with Captain C. P. Ibbetson, at Gretna Hall, on Thursday last, was announced in the Morning Post of Monday. Our detailed notice of the fugitive pair broke off with their arrival at the York station of the North Midland Railway. We now append such other interesting facts in connexion with " the affair" as have since reached us. . _ _ After breakfasting in the refreshment rcom at York, where the elegant appearance and manner of Lady Adela was par ticularly remarked by several persons present, the lovers again took their places in the mail train. Throughout the run from York to Newcastle the parties do not appear to have been observed, but traces of them were discovered on the line to Carlisle, which led the pursuers to Gretna- green. The fugitives reached Carlisle shortly after one o'clock on Thursday, having thus run a distance of upwards of four hundred miles between that hour and six o'clock on the pre vious evening. Here they entered the Gallant Captain's car riage, and post-horses having been furnished by that inde fatigable aider and abettor of the god Hymen, in the palmy days of Gretna—the good host of the "Bush"—in a very few moments, the party dashed through the fine old city en route for " the Border." The post-boys on the road between Carlisle and Gretna were considered the best in the kingdom in the days when posting formed the almost exclusive means of locomotion. Probably their superiority may have arisen from the inkling all must have had of the importance of their trust in mans cases. Be this as it may, the race of "Carlisle boys" is not yet extinct, and by dint of whip and spur, the expectant pair of whom we treat alighted at the "Gretna Hall" Tavern before half-past two o'clock on Thursday afternoon. To unlearned " Southrons" it may be interesting to know that "mine host cf the Hail" unites the somewhat irrecon cileable characters of Boniface and priest in his own person At the moment of the arrival of the fugitives he was pre siding at a dinner, the guests at which consisted chiefly of a staff of engineers, who are just now pursuing their avocation in this hitherto peaceful neighbourhood. A very short inter val occurred, however, before a person entered the room, who delivered what appeared to the guests to be a sort of myste rious message to the chairman, but which in reality was sim ply a summons to attend " a lady and gentleman who had just arrived from London, and were waiting his presence in 'the saloon' up stairs." With a promptitude which save , much for the business habits of mine host, he immediately vacated his post at the head of the table, and forthwith pr. - ceeded to grant the desired interview. The first introduction over, the Gallant Captain, in the presence of his fair companion, inquired of the worthy host whether it was true that he himself "performed the cere mony of marriage when requested so to do ?" Mine host replied with great alacrity that he had done so for some years past, and should continue to act in a similar capacity unless prevented by Lord Brougham, who, he be lieved,.had at tempted some interference with his prerogative last year. Boniface, requesting permission to retire for a few moments, speedily returned attired in full canonicals. The first procedure was to obtain the names of both parties, with a proper description of their respective resi dences. Here for an instant a difficulty was apprehended. Lady Addis confessed that at the moment she could only re collect three dim- Christian names, though she believed she had more. Our host soon calmed her Ladyship's misgivings, by declaring that all the names were not necessary, in. stancing a case where the same omission had been declared valid—that of the Prince de Capua, who, possessing a string of something like sixteen names, when asked to state them at Gretna, could only recollect about one half the number. The names obtained, next came the question of witnesses. It was highly desirable that no party in the house should be requested to attest the marriage, who might by possibility have a knowledge of the principal actors. This was im pressed upon mine host, who promptly remarked that the Carlisle postilions generally considered it their privilege te act as witnesses on similar occasions, adding, that if the Gallant Captain had no objection, one of them would be a perfectly competent witness, while his own " better half' might be the second. The proposition was at once entertained, and the parties alluded to were summoned to attend. The clerical character was now altogether assumed by mine best, and the ceremony commenced by a declaratior on the part of both her Ladyship and the Gallant Officer, to the effect that they were single persons, and that they had come to Gretna freely and willingly, of their own ac ' cord, and without force. The priest (for the time being) addressing the Gallant Officer, next said, " Will you take this woman to be your lawful wife?" The Gallant Officer, without waiting to hear the remainder of the sentence, cheerfully replied, "I will." • The officiating officer continued—" To live after God's or dinance, in the holy state of matrimony. Will you love hei and comfort her, and cherish her in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, remain faithful unto her so long as ye both shall live ?" The Gallant Captain again plighted his troth to her Lady ship with great apparent sincerity. Similar questions were then addressed to Lady Adele, whr duly responded, maintaining her self-possession throughout in the most remarkable manner, and notwithstanding the excessive fatigue she had undergone, appearing in high spirits. The Gallant Captain next took the left hand of his fair companian, and having placed the ring thereon, mine host joined their hands together, and declared the parties man and wife in the following terms Forasmuch as this man and this woman have consented together before God and this people to be man and wife, by receiving this ring, hereby declare them to be such in the presence of God and the se witnesses." The marriage was then recorded in the usual manner upon a printed form prepared for the purpose. As a good deal of curiosity may be supposed to pi\ vail on the subject at this moment, we append a copy of the document, together with the signatures, exactly as they appear in the original : " kingdom of Scotland, " County of Dumfries, " Parish of Gretna. " These are to certify to all to whom these presents ma\ come, that Charles Parke Ibbetson, of the parish of Si. Pancras, London, in the county of Middlesex, and Adele Corisanda Villiers, of the parish of St. George, London. in the county of Middlesex, being now here present, and having declared themselves single persons, were this day married, after the manner of the laws of the Church of England, and agreeably to the laws of Scotland. "As witness our hands at ' Gretna Hall,' this sixth day of November, 1845. C. P. IBBETSON. "ADELA VILLIERS." J. LINTON." JANE LINTOg. ROBERT COPLEY." The signatures were not particularised by anything re markable. That of the Captain was written in a fine, bold hand, while Lady Adela's might have been written with a " crowquill small and new," were one to judge from its deli cacy and finish. " Solemnised by " Witnerses The ceremony concluded, the newly-wedded pair stole a few moments torefresh themselves, preparatory to proceeding further northward. The afternoon was now waning fast, and Gretna having served its turn, the fugitives were natural') anxious to leave the " Hall " some distance behind them. At four o'clock, the best horses the stable afforded were put to the carriage, and the Captain having, with a bounteous hand, satisfied all claims upon his purse, handed his youth ful bride to her seat, and springing into the carriage him self, the happy pair drove off together in the direction of Edinburgh. Despite the inconvenience of amateur postboys, and not very first-rate cattle, the party reached Langholm, a distance of sixteen miles, and the first stage upon the old road te Edinburgh, before six o'clock. Relays of horses were here provided at the Crown Inn, and our travellers again pro ceeded onwards, arriving about eight o'clock at Moss Paul, a lone hostelrie, the property of the Duke of Buccleuch, situate about midway between Gretna and Hawick. At this place they rested for the night, intending to pro ceed early the next morning on their way to Edinburgh.— Post. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. SHELL PRACTICE ON BOARD THE SCOURGE _ STEAM-SLOOP, AT PORTSMOUTH. The Scourge steam-sloop, of 1,121 tons burthen, went out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning, under the direc tion of Captain Chads, of the Excellent, gunnery ship, having with him several officers of that ship. Captain Stevens, of the Royal Marine Artillery, and a gang of seamen, gunners, and marine artillerymen, likewise from the Excellent. The day was unpropitious; a constant mizzling rain, with thi c k weather, prevailed, which almost made it dangerous to fire; but Captain Chads having taken up a position to the east ward of the Wight, fired the shells in the direction of the shores off Hayling island, in which no vessel or boat could be moving, '1 he result of the practice has been most satisfactory, and we should say, very conclusive in establishing the capability of steamers to carry mortars without detriment to the ves sels, or the machinery of the engines. Thirteen 13-inch shells were fired witli the following charges of powder : Two with a charge of five pounds of powder, two of seven pounds, two of ten pounds, one of fifteen, and six of a charge of twenty pounds of powder. The shells were not filled with powder, but with sand equal to the weight of the powder of loaded shells. The mortar stands above the weather deck, abaft the mainmast, and it was expected that the explosion would have the effect of submerging her abaft, but the discharge was scarcely felt, and the shock sustained by the vessel was trifling. Eleven shells were fired right aft, and the two last were fired directly abeam. Those last discharged affected the vessel most, but even these caused comparatively slight shocks. The engineers in the engine rot,m scarcely felt it, and not the smallest derangement took place, although the Scourge, during the last six discharges of the twenty pounds of powder charge, was under full steam. Neither the bed of the mortar nor the heavy timber work on which it rests, has been in the slightest degree disturbed. Some of the thin deal hammock berthing, and some of the slight plank berthing of the bulwark have been splintered, and a few panes of glass broken, which is all the damage sustained ; and the trial has most fully established the fact, that these vessels can carry such an armament with perfect safety. Mr. Fincham, the master shipwright, and Mr. Watts, the assistant, went on board the Scourge after she returned, and minutely inspected her, but could not find the least sympton of any derangement on board her. Capt. Chads will go out in the Scourge again to-day, when the long 10-feet gun of 87 cwt. will be likewise tried. NAVAL RETIREMENT OF COMMANDERS.—The seniors of this meritorious class of officers, who were promoted at the conclusion of the war, and in whose glorious achievement they have all participated with honour and distinction, have met at Portsmouth and Plymouth, and formed themselves into committees, for the purpose of memorialising the Board of Admiralty, to confer upon their long and arduous war services, the same boon of retirement which has been ex tended to those of the Post Captains. The President, 90, Capt.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 12. DAVEICPORT V. HAIM it Mr. TIMMY concluded his reply in this case to-day, and The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed his judgment. His Lordship rose shortly aftter two o'clock to attend the pricking for Sheriffs in the Court of Exchequer. ROLLS' COURT, nor;. 12. JODDRELL v. JODDRELL. This was a demurrer to a marriage deed executed between the defendant Sir Richard Paul Joddrell and his wife Lady Joddrell, by which her ladyship's fortune of 3,7001. a year was settled on herself, as well as an annuity of 3001 These were subjected to certain restrictions to the effect that the former was to be appropriated to the maintenance and edu cation of, her daughters, and that the annuity arising out of a house in Portland• place was to be considered as a provision for herself, in case of any separation taking place between Ler and her husband. After some 'Tars' cohabitation, her lady ship determined to leave the plaintiff, and retire to her resi dence in Porland-place, taking her children with her. The plaintiff, under these circumstances, conceiving that he was deprived of the control of his children, endeavoured to cancel the deed. Arguments were heard on Monday in support of the de murrer, and to-day in behalf of the plaintiff. The case was ordered to stand over till Friday next, in order to give Mr. Rumilly an opportunity of replying in extenso. . _ The remaining causes were quite devoid cf public interest. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Nov. 12. GOODALL v. MAXWELL. The further arguments in this part-heard case occupied his Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England the whole day. (Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE CUTHBERT AND ANOTHER V. ATTWooD. His Honour sat this morning as Chief Judge of the Court of Bankruptcy. Mr. 1 oLLET ' o ffi cial assignee in the estate of Cuthbert and Clark, appeare d by petition, requiring Mr. Attwood, M.P., representative of the house of Spooner, Attwood, and Co., to retlind certain rums overpaid, and to give up a remain ing dividend of 2501. on the estate. It seems that Spooner, Attwood, and Co. had security from Cuth bert and Clark to the amount of 5,0001. in the shape of fiveal,ooCl. bills, Stein and Co. on Kensington and Co. The material question in the case seems to be whether the deed of security be general, extending to all debts, or only having a -p.cilic reference to a particular loan. The assignees, about 1821, seem to have considered, rightly or wrongly, that this ;eeurity hat a general reference to all debts, and sold to Me srs. Attwcod the bills, Stein and Co. on Kensington and Ce., which they beld under the deed ofsecurity, for 2501, al lowing a further debt. of 233/. to be proved against the estate .if Cuthbert and Clark. His HoNouß, in giving judgment, said the petition had been put in, fequiring from the creditor a restoration of property of the bankrupts, which was held by him in liquidation of an invecured debt. His Honour would hesitate much as to whether the jurisdiction of the Court, could extend to this case without the consent of the defendant. But assuming the jurisdiction of the Court, considering the evidence without the affidavit of Mr. Attwood, it appears that Mr. Atwood received certain security, and that in consequence of this security he had received more than his right. The pe ition requires that this be returned. The last sum paid on the estate was paid in 1822, twenty-one years befpre the petition. A petition in 1845 is presented on the ground that that security was redeemable, and that the bankrupts have a claim on that security. His Honour did not think the Court had any jurisdiction over this matter. It the petitioners will, they must try this point direct, and make it out if they can. Taking, however, Mr. Attwood's affidavit into consideration, it appeart that 21 years ago the assignees either knew there was a contract ex tending the security to debts in general, or honestly made a nistake in so considering it. From 1821 to 1845 the question had never been raised. He could not afford relief to the reti ‘ionersagamst Mr. Attwot d, but in consideration that Mr. Attwood had not appeared to be personally examined pend ing ill health, and that the letter sent by Mr. Attwood to the assignee in 1844 bad not been answered, his Honour dismissed the bill without costs, and ordered that the costs ;if the petition be paid out of the estate. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 12. THE QUEEN v. THORNTON AND BENTLEY. This was a scire facias to repeal a pa!ent granted to W. C. Thorritoli, for improvements in cardsetting machines. It op peared at the trial, which occupied two days, that the pa tentee had disclaimed four out of six parts r.t - the invention and the jury found that he was not the first inventor of the remaining parts, and that one was not useful, thereby in effect repesli g the potent. Counsel on a former day moved for a new trial on the grounds of misdirection, that the evidence of an assignment 'rom Thornton to Williamson, and from Williamson to Bentley had been improperly received ; that a scire facies :ranted upon the original specification could not be prose- Aged after a disclaimer, and that the verdict was not accord• in g to the evidence. Lord Da MAN, in giving judgment, said the Court was of apinion that there was no reason to disturb the verdict; but, at the same time, it held that, as the evidence as to the assignment might be questionable, there should be a rule granted on that point.—Rule granted. THE QUEEN r. EDWARD COALES. A rule having been granted to show cause why the de fendant should not be prohibited from exacting certain fees, ts the Clerk of the Quarter Sessions of Somersetshire, from prisoners charged with misdemeanours, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL rose to show cause against the rule, and to show that there was nothing in the case to war rant the interference of this Court. The object of the application was to call upon the Court to quash the order that had been made, prohibiting the exac tion of those fees. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case against the ap plication at great length, and read several affidavits of parties who deposed that enormous or illegal fees had been paid by prisoners to the clerk of the sessions before they would be allowed to go to trial. In one of the affidavits the deponent stated that in a certain case several poor people charged with tnisdemeanour, would not be allowed to take their trial until they had paid 2/. 15s. 6d. each. In another case which he (the Attorney General) thought called, more than any other, for the interference of the justices, was when a poor old man, Eighty years of age, and his two children, who were charged with an assault, would not be allowed to take their trial until they had paid those illegal fees; the consequence was that they had to make wo or three journies, and when tried were acquitted; but the expenses they bad been put to were such as to have brought them to the very verge of ruin. The affidavits he (the Attorney-General) bad before him were full of such allegations, and, therefore, he would ask, were not the justices bound to protect the public against what be would not characterise by any stronger term than improper conduct. The COURT—Were the fees taken other than those in the tables then existing? COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANT—Nut one. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said there were several, and read a passage from one of the affiOavits, which stated that five times the legal amount had been exacted in some instances. The Comp.-If so. the act was clearly illegal. DEFENDANT'S CoUNSEL said there were five defendants, and the legal fee was taken from each. I The Solicitor-General followed on the same site as the At torney-General. _ DEFENDANT'S COUNSEL then addressed the Court at great length, and said that Mr. Coales bad been in the office for the last thirty-four years, and that he bad succeeded his father in that office, and that the ta . esent de fendant had always been anxious for the settlement of those fees, and that he would rather have a salary as he felt it pain ful to be obliged to take fees. lie contended it was a great hardship on the part of his client to have affidavits read in this Court which he had not answered and could not answer, and which would make him out to be the most extortionate man in the whole county of Somerset. Ile also contended ,hat it was most extraordinary that in the whole of the mass of affidavits that had been read, there was only one farmer, one magistrate, and one attorney. The lourrr, after a short consultation, decided in &your of quashing the order, upon the ground that the order of the Bench of Magistrates was evidence of itself that the de mand was legal. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, .Nov. 12. (Sittings in Banco.) SITU V. NEBBITT. The Court was occupied nearly the thole morning with the arguments in the above case, which presented no point of public interest. The Court rose at two o'clock, and will sit to-morrow morning at ten to bear appeals against the decisions of the Revising Bariaters, under the Act 6 Victoria, cap. 18. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 12. (Sittings in Banco.) The Court met this morning at the usual hour, and pro- ceeded with the special paper. CLARKE AND ANOTHER V. RICHARDSON AND ANOTHER. The arguments in this case were resumed by Mr. PEACOCK, which occupied the Court the whole of the morning. The point before the Court arose upon the construction to be placed upg,n the release of a debt. It would appear that the plaintiff Clarke had released one Curling from a bond debt of 10,0001., in consideration of his aiding and assisting to recover the debt from Richardson, who was the principal debtor upon the bond. Richardson however, by his Counsel, contended that the release not only debarred the liability of Curling, but absolutely extinguished the debt as against all parties alike. On the other hand, it was argued that the plaintiff only re leased Curling and not Richardson. At the close of the arguments on both sides, The LORD Cittav BARoN gave judgment. This was an action brought to recover 10,000 1 . upon a bond, to which the defendant Richardson was the principal, and one Curling was the surety, and in answer to the action a release had been pleaded. Now, it was argued that this release was only in tended to absolve Carling from the debt, but upon looking at the release itself, he confessed he could by no means gather that this was the true and proper construction to be placed upon its language. No doubt, the intention of the plaintiff was only to release Curling from the liability of an action in respect of the bond debt, but in law and in fact the relase extinguished the debt and the plaintiff's right of action as well against Aichardson as against Curling. The plaintiff therefore had no remedy against Richardson or his executors by an action at l aw, an d hence it followed that the judgment of this Court must be for the defendants. Mr. Baron PARKE and Mr. Baron ROLF& concurred in this opinion, and judgment was recorded accordingly. SECONDARIES' COURT, Nov. 12. (Before Mr. Secondary PorrEn.) LIABILITY OF SURGEONS T O SERVE ON JURIES. One of the jury men , a surgeon, claimed to be excused from serving, on th e ground that he belonged to the Barbers' Company, and that, by an Act, George IL," Barber-surgeons wet e exempt from serving on all assize inquisitions,' &c. The SECONDARY said it did not exempt him trom serving in the superior courts. The applicant said that Chief Justice Tindal had, in 1841, nt!erl the point in his favour, and ordered that his name should be struck out of the list. The SECONDARY said, a decision on an ez parte application before one jud ge was very different from a decision before several, after hearing arguments on both sides, and it had been held that those parties were liable to serve in the supe rior Court. He, therefore, could not excuse the applicant. The juror said that the words appeared to him very dis tinct, and he should press the Act upon the ward authorities. There were three causes tried on bills of exchange, but were all undefended. COURT OF EXCISE, Nov. 12. (Before the Hon. Captain PERCY, T. HARRISON, Esq., and C. J. H EBBW() Eaq.) EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF ADULTERATED TOBACCO...-. George Crofton an d Ab ra h a m Crofton, of No. 61, Bartholo mew-close, Smithfi e ld, to b acc o manufacturers, were charged, upon information, with manufacturing, and having in their possession, tobacco adulterated with alkaline salts, contrary to the late Act for the regulation of tobacco manufacturers which provides that nothing but pure water shall be used in the manufacture of tobacco. More than half a ton of the tobacco had been seized, and the casd was looked forward to with considerable interest. The defendants had given notice that the 7 would defend the 0111 by man; ad it Wag Volineg 111 r, C 144494 4114 . . MBE been retained by them, but on the case being called on this day neither counsel, solicitors; nor defendants appeared. The usual notices having been proved, the following evidence was taken. Mr. Austin, surveying examiner general of Excise, said he visited the manufactory of the defendants on the 9th of August last, accompanied by Messrs. Smith and Phillips, also officers of Excise. He examined the whole of the pre mises. In a small room he found several women stripping tobacco. A large quantity of the leaf was lying on the floor, and some of it was quite wet. He was induced to taste it, and found it exceedingly salt, with a solution also of lime. He also found in the room two pails full of a liquid solu tion, and, upon tasting it, pronounced it to be that of common salt. Upon seeing the foreman he questioned him as to whether he was the person who superintended the business of that establishment, and was answered in the affirmative. Witness then asked him whether the tobacco he saw damped down was to be sold for tobacco or snuff, and was told for tho best returns. 'Wit ness then asked him to taste the solution in the pails, which he did, and said that he did not taste anything the matter with it. Upon inquiring for the proprietors, the foreman said he would send for them ; and, upon Mr. George Crofton coming in, witness directed his attention to the tobacco on the fluor and to the contents of the pails, and asked him whether he considered that the contents of the latter were salt? " Salt !" said Mr. Crofton, "no ; if it is salt it must have cople from the pump so." He tasted the water from the pump, and found it perfectly pure. Beside the pump, in a pail, he found a solution like brine, and asked Mr. Croton what it was for? Mr. Crofton replied, "It was for the tobacco; it was useless saying it was for snuff, as they must know it was for tobacco." lie then seized the stock of tobacco, and conveyed it to the chief office of the Excise department. The following day he submitted four samples to Mr. George Phillips, practical chemist to the Board of Excise, for analysation. Mr. George Phillips, professor of chemi- try, said that he received four samples of tobacco from the last witness, which he had submitted to various tests of analysation. One of the samples of the damped leaf he found adulterated to the extent of 13.67 per cent. with common salt; a sample, No. 2, of leaf, 5.41 of salt; the first pail of solution contained 3.75, and the pail No. 2, 19.80 per cent. of adulteration. The other tobacco found on the premises was of a very pure character. Mr. Davis proved that the defendants were entered manu facturers of tobacco, and were so on the 9th of August last. An entry to that effect was made in his survey-book. The COURT ordered the whole of the seizure to be con : demned, which is equal to a penalty of nearly 2001. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday a young man, named William °piers, was brought before the Lord Mayor upon a charge of robbery. James Bowie, a waterman, who resides at Gravesend, stated that on Monday morning, about ten o'clock, he arrived at Billingsgate in the hatch-boat named the Sir Edward Cod rington, with fresh herrings for sale. He was in partner ship with the owner of the boat in the sale of fish, and the prisoner was a cabin-boy belonging to the b at. About two o'clock on Monday the prisoner was missed from on board, and at three o'clock witness went down into the bed-cabin for the purpose of getting the sum of 19/. 4s. 6d., which he had placed under the head of the bed-cabin. Upon going to the spot where he bad depo ited the cash he found that it had been stolen, together with two bags, a memorandum book, and some papers. Witness had seen the money safe at eleven or twelve o'clock, and did not leave the boat after that time until he missed the money, and no one had been in the cabin but the prisoner and himself. Between six and seven o'clock witness went with an officer, to whom he com plained of the robbery, to the Cit 3 of London Theatre, where he found the prisoner, in the company of several girls of the town, amongst the audience. The prisoner was searched, and in his possession was found a bag, which the witn+ ss knew at once to be his, and which contained several sove reigns, no doubt his property. Upon being questioned, the pr's mier said the bag contained no bcok, but it did hold a shilling. John Bower (policeman 570) stated that he went to the City of London Theatre on the evening of the day of the robbery, suspecting that he should find the prisoner amongst the loose females, and lie was not long there when he found that he was right in his guess. The bag which was taken from the prisoner contained 101. in gold, and there were three sovereigns loose in the prisoner's pockets. The LORD MAYOR—Do you wish to say anything, pri soner? Prisoner—Why, I took the money, my w Lord, from the place where it was put, and I went along with a lot of girls, but whether I spent the money amongst them or gave it to them, I don't know, I'm sure. As for the book that master talks of, that was in the big bag, and I tore it up.—The prisoner was committed for trial. Lewis Benjamin was charged with having picked the pocket of a gentleman of a handkerchief. Mr. "%V. H. Bailey, of No. 4, Shaftesbury-terrace, Pimlico, stated that on the afternoon of Monday, as he was passing along the north side of St. Paul's-churchyard, he suddenly felt his handkerchief removed from his coat pocket. Upon turning round lie observed the prisoner wipe his face with the very handkerchief that had been removed from his pos session. Witness said to him, " What are you doing with my handkerchief?" to which he replied, " I didn't know it was yours."—(A laugh.) Shelford (policeman No 160) said that he apprehended the prisoner upon the charge of Mr. Bailey, and found two other handkerchiefs upon his person. The prisoner said that he had not committed any robbery. He had been in the habit of carrying three handkerchiefs for his personal convenience and accommodation, for he did not know how soon he might lose one or two in the streets of London.—( A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR said the prisoner should have an oppor tunity of making that defence before those who would be capable of appreciating it. The prisoner—My Lord, I hope you will order the officer to give me up my own property. The two handkerchiefs he took from me are my own. The prisoner was committed for trial. John Roberts was committed for having picked the pocket of Mr. J. T. Hyne, Tre surer of the Surrey Theatre. The robbery was adroitly committed at ten o'clock on Monday morning, in Gresham-street. The witness suddenly missed his handkerchief, and upon turning round saw his handker chief in the front pocket of the prisoner's coat; when, the prisoner following him, he stooped and slipped out the hand kerchief, and dropped it in the street. His LORDSHIP acknowledged, with thanks, the receipt of 51. from Mr. W. West, through the hands of Messrs. Hoare, the bankers, for the poor-box, and expressed his sincere hope and belief that the contributions to the poor-box of the Mansion-house, to which there were so many melancholy claims, especially in the winter months, would be numerous. He apprehended that, everything considered, the approach ing winter would tell upon the sympathies of the friends of humanity with more force than was generally expected. He therefore thought that he could not commence the duties of the office of Chief Magistrate in a more proper manner than by calling upon those who were prosperous to remember the thousands who had to contend with poverty in its most frightful shapes. Two gentlemen who were present immediately contributed a sovereign each, but would not mention their names. BO IV-STREET. Peter Battie, a foreigner, was brought up for further exa mination on the charge f having violated three little girls under twelve years of age, at his lodgings in Newman- street, Oxford-street. He was defended by Mr. O'Brien, who cross-examined the witnesses at great length, in order to show that there were some grounds for the suspicion that the parents of the children had offered to hush the matter up for a consideration. The prisoner had written a letter to one of the parties, re. toting to the charge, which was considerab l y strengthened by its production by the officer, Pocock. He was fully committed for trial. A cab-driver, named George Hull, was brought up by war rant (having failed to attend upon a summons), to answer the charge of having behaved in an insolent manner to Mr. Albany Fonblanque, of 48, Connaught-square The complainant stated that he had occasion to call upon Mr. Pavey, of 47, Holywell-street, Strand, on the Ist of November, and while standing before the door (being him self on horseback) the defendant drove up behind him. The narrowness of that part of the street prevented his passing, and deponent consequently asked him to wait a moment until he had addressed a few words to Mr. Pavey, with whom he was anxious to make an appointment for another day. The defendant, however, abused him in impertinent language, and, although no one was in his cab, persisted in driving forward. Mr. Fonblanque was compelled to submit, in order to prevent an accident either to his horse or to himself, and was accordingly driven to the end of the street in front of the defendant's cab. Mr. Pavey corroborated this evidence. The defendant expressed his contrition for the offence, at the same time urging that he used no offensive language to Mr. Fonblanque, whom he thought was intending to proceed forward. He appealed to the constables of the division to testify to the respectability of his character. Mr. JARDINE thought that the conduct of the defendant was clearly such as to render him amenable to the Act, his apparent contrition being the only circumstance in his favour. His Worship fined him 10s., or ten days' imprisonment, in default of non-payment. WORSHIP-STREET. A Jew, named Hyam Abrahams, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with having, by the following artful scheme, obtained the sum of 31. ss. from Mr. Simon Lazarus, a general dealer at Mile-end : The prosecutor stated that about a month ago the pri soner, with whom he had had some previous business trans actions, called at his house and stated that he was acquainted with a tradesman who had for sale a large quantity of gold washings from picture-frames, for which he demanded only 55.,91. and that if witness would advance that amount they would between them the profits, which he knew to be considerable, as he had had numerous transactions of a si milar kind before, and they had always turned out excellent speculations. Witness reluctantly acceded to the proposi tion, and the prisoner conducted Mm to the house of a pic ture-frame maker, named Moseley, in Leonard-street, Shore ditch, from whom he received a jar containing the supposed gold washings, for which he paid the 3/. 55., at the request of the prisoner, and took it away with him. On the following day he sent the jar to Mr. Cyril', a gold refiner in Barbican, to have its contents melted, and on call , ing afterwards for his golden deposit, he was informed by the refiner that it was a mere compound of worthless rub ` bish, and that there was not a particle of gold in the whole mass. He immediately went in search of the prisoner, who, upon being apprised of the result, expressed great astonish ' meat and indignation at the imposition which bad been practised upon them, and at once proceeded with him to the house of Moseley, to whom he abruptly intimated that unless he produced the person from -whom he had received the spurious article they should expect their money to be returned. Moseley appeared completely astounded at such an announcement, but promised to see the prisoner further upon the subject, and they accordingly went away; but all I his subsequent efforts to meet with the prisoner having been unsuccessful, the witness went alone to the shop of Moseley, and was then informed, to his great surprise, that the prisoner himself was the person who had left the jar of spurious gold under the care of Moseley, with directions to deliver it to the witness, and to receive the money for him which the witness paid for it, and which money he bad subsequently paid to the prisoner. On being apprised of these facts witness gave immediate information of them to the ustod police, and the prisoner was ultimately taken into cy. In cross-examination by Mr. Vann, who appeared for the defence, the witness admitted that he had received from Moseley a written engagement to refund the amount , but said ' that Moseley had since, under the advice of his solicitor, re fused to fulfil its conditions. Mr. Moseley proved that the jar and its contents had been left with him by the prisoner under the circumstances de scribed, and that the latter had afterwards called on him, and received the money the prosecutor had paid for them. The witness disavowed all knowledge or participation in the fraudulent part of the transaction, and declared that he had only been induced to give the undertaking referred to from an apprehension that he might be himself involved in the charge. Mr. Vann contended that the prosecutor's acceptance of Moseley's promise of indemnification amounted to a condo ' nation of the alleged fraud, and effectually precluded any criminal proceedings. ! Mr. Heritage, on the other side, submitted that no ar reagevut the prosecutg might larre wade with third par. I.lnrininNini II 13, 1845 ties could shield the prisoner from the results of his own fraudulent conduct, which had been more than sufficiently proved to justify a commitment. Mr. MN - Glum was clearly of opinion that a prima facie case of fraud had been established against the prisoner, and therefore called upon him to Lind substantial bail to appear on a future day, that the requisite formal evidence might be produced for the completion of the case. LAMBETH. Mr. Keene. the Governor of Horsemonger lane Prison, waited upon Mr. Narton, to inform him.of the suicide, during the preceding night, of Thomas APNamara, a prisoner under his care, who had been sent there on the evening before by the Hon. Magistrate. It will be recollected that APNainara, who had been in custody since the let inst., had been re-examined on Monday, on a charge of inflicting as many as twelve or thirteen wounds upon the person of his wife. The wife attended and gave her evidence upon the occasion, and upon her own showing, it was evident she was a person of the most profligate habits, having left her husband three different times to live with different men. The accused, notwithstanding her scandalous conduct, was much attached to her, and sent a friend to bring her back from Tunbridge. wells, were she was living in adultery with the last person she left home with. On the right after her return, she declared her intention to rejoin her paramour, and her husband in his rage and jealousy, and being also much intoxicated at the time, inflicted twelve or thirteen wounds with a sharp instrument upon different parts of her person. The offence, notwithstanding the strong pro vocation, was of so serious a character, that Mr. Norton felt it to be his duty to send the prisoner for trial, and the evidence of all the witnesses in attendance being taken, the prisoner was remanded until Friday next, and was sent off by the van to Horsemonger-lane Gaol. Mr. Keene said the prisoner had been removed from this Court with the second batch of prisoners, and was conveyed to his cell. He was subsequently supplied with bread and gruel for his supper, and there being nothing in his demea • nouror manner to excite the least suspicion, he was locked up in his cell at eight o'clock, agreeable to the gaol regulation. Yesterday morning, on the turnkey unlocking the cell door he found the unfortunate man suspended by his handkerchief from one of the bars of the cell window. Medical assistance was promptly in attendance, but it was found that the body was quite cold, and that life had been extinct for several hours. Mr. Keene added that the unfortunate man had drunk the gruel and eat a portion of the bread, but had not gone to bed. Mr. NORTON, who appeared evidently affected at the fate of the wretched man, remarked that he did not observe any thing whatever in the manner of the prisoner, when before him, to lead to the slightest suspicion or apprehension that he meditated the act of self-destruction. Mr. Keene said, the Prison Act required him, in all cases of suicide in his prison, to communicate the fact personally to the nearest relation of the deceased, where it was practicable, and as the wife was in the present case the nearest relative, he requested her address, that he might see and communicate to her fate of her unfortunate husband. The address of the profligate wife was supplied to Mr. Keene, and he left the Court for the purpose he had stated. Cook, the gaoler attached to the Court, informed the Ma gistrate that though M'Namara was somewhat affected while his wife was giving her evidence against him, he (Cook) felt quite certain he did not intend to commit suicide when leav ing for Horsemonger-lane Gaol on Monday. His (Cook's) reason fur being so certain was this, that he requested to be permitted to take with him to prison a loaf of bread to last him, with his allowance, until he was brought up again on Friday. Mr. NORTON admitted that this was a circumstance which warranted the gaoler in the conclusions he had drawn, and strongly favoured the belief that the act of self-destruction had not been premeditated. THAMES. About half-past twelve o'clock on Tuesday, Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, entered the Court, and, apologising for the imperfect statement which he was about to make, slid he was anxious as early as possible to ap prise the sitting magistrate (Mr. broderip) of some facts of which he (Mr. Clarkson) was just informed, and which perhaps before the close of the day would be brought under the cognizance of this Court :—The im portance of the case would, he was sure, excuse the abrupt manner in which it was introduced. The facts were simply these .--The crew of the Tory, while on her homeward voyage from Hong-Kong, rose on the captain, and in a pira tical manner attempted to seize and carry off the vessel, but though the attempt was frustrated, more than one murder had been the result, - and the present application was to have officers in attendance to take the prisoners into custody im mediately on the arrival of the Tory in the river. Mr. BaconEutr—Then I am to understand that there is no person yet. in custody on this most serious charge ? Mr. Clarkson—No, Sir. I have not made myself clear. Some of the parties are in irons on board the vessel, which is now on its way from Deal, and hourly expected in the river. As lam informed, she is a vessel of 608 tons, corn mended by a Captain Johnstone, and having a crew of 30 men. The act of piracy was attempted whilst she was off Ascension Island, when the crew, headed by the mate, rose upon the captain, threatening to take his life and possess themselves of the ship. . The mutiny had extended to such a degree, and the project was so far ripened, that only two or three of the hands stuck by the captain, and the determination of the mutineers was so great that it was found impossible to foil their intent without several serious acts of violence. When it was repressed, the mate, anticipating the consequences of his attempt, seized the first opportunity which offered, and jumped overboard. A man, named Mars, who had been one of the first to join in the mutiny, repented of his conduct, and exposed the whole plot to the captain, on which the other muti neers brutally murdered him. Another man, named Rea sons, who had also given information to the captain, died suddenly, and, as it was supposed from the symptoms, by having poison administered to him. On arriving at Deal, the captain applied to the authorities there, and assistance was afforded to put the refractory parties in irons. Apolo gising again for his hasty and imperfect statement, the Learned Gentleman repeated his request that some officers should be directed to look out for the arrival of the vessel, as she was hourly expected, and it was highly probable that the master, together with the owner, Mr. Duncan Gibb. of Liverpool, would be in attendance, and enter into fuller de tails of the events which had taken place. Mr. BRODEMP said the Learned Gentleman had stated the dreadful circumstances with sufficient clearness to awaken the utmost attention. He (Mr. Broderip) had not the di rection of the -police force, but he was sure that on the slightest intimation to the river police the most active steps would he taken, and every facility afforded. Mr. Clarkson then read the following letter, addressed H. H. Lindsay, Esq., East India Chambers, Leadenhall-street, London : " Deal, Nov. 9. " Sir,—You will have heard by this time of the horrid and un precedented mutiny on board the ship Tory, belonging to Mr. Duncan Gibbs, of Liverpool, on her voyage from Hong-Kong to London, in which three lives have been sacrificed—vis , the first and second mate, and one seaman. We now write to you by desire of Captain Johnstone to say that the ship has arrived in the Downs, with three of her crew in irons, at .d a strong guard of a revenue cutter on board, the other portion of the crew being still in a mutinous state. We have consulted with the Com mander of the Coast Guard here, as well as with the magistrates, and it has been thought the better course to place the remainder of the crew (seven in number) under arrest, the whole of them being more or less connected with the mutiny, to keep guard over them on board, and to hire men to work the ship up to Lot,don, taking the first opportunity of engaging a steamer. We thought this course better than landing the men here and having them taken before the magistrates, which would necessarily cause a detention of the captain and probably the ship. We hope the Tory will pro ceeA early to morrow for the River. Captain Johnstone has, under our advice, noted his protest, and we trust you will consicer we have taken the best and most prompt measures under the unfortu nate circumstances of this case. We write you hurriedly to save poet.—We are, Sir, sour most obedient, "GOD WIN, CURLING, and Co., " Agents to the Liverpool Association of Underwriters." Mr. BHODEIIIP said he had no doubt that it the case had be-n taken begore the Magistrates at Deal they would have given it the consideration which its importance deserved. With that, however, he had nothing to do; but if it were brought within his jurisdiction it would comma,id the utmost attention. Mr. Clarkson was quite satisfied on that point, and he was happy to think that a case of such importance would be heard at a tribunal so peculiarly competent to take it into consideration. _ _ The Learned Gentleman then left, with the understanding that if the Tory arrived in the river in the interval the per sons charged would be brought up for primary examination this day. The excitement occasioned by the application was most in tense, and the result of the inquiry is looked forward to with the deepest interest. When a judicial investigation is ;4) close at hand, it would be highly injudicious to give publicity to the vague and contradictory rumours which are afloat upon the subject. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Samuel Copling, a labouring man, was charged with se riously injuring police-constable No. 109 of the E It appeared that between one and two yesterday morning, the prisoner, infuriated with drink, was causing a great dis turbance in the house he lodged at, and the constable was sent fir to take him into custody. He found the prisoner standing at the door, and endeavoured to persuade him to go in quietly to bed ; he, without the slightest provocation, struck the constable unawares with his clenched fist and knocked him down; immediately on the con stable getting up, he again knocked him down, arid kneeling on his chest got his hand on the constable's neck, and attempted to strangle him ; in falling the second time the constable struck his head against the iron railing, causing such a severe scalp wound that he was obliged to go to Middlesex Hospital to have it dressed. The prisoner deniei having assaulted the constable at all. Mr. MALTBY—I am satisfied with the evidence against you, and I shall commit you for one month to hard labour. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT. ;- Charles Falkner, a young man of respectable appearance, was charged with embezzling divers sums of money received by him on ac count of his master, Mr. Harry Doss, of Grasse-street, Tot tenham-court•road, veterinary surgeon. On Friday last he received on Mr. Doss's account from Mr. William Foster, of Covent-garden Market, the sum of V. 65., which he never accounted for. On the following.day he absconded, and was not again heard of until taken into custody last night. Mr. Doss said, that on a future day he should be prepared with another case against the prisoner. _ _ _ The prisoner said he did not consider be was Mr. Doss's servant. He had certainly Acted as his assistant, but it was only for a few hours occasionally. He admitted he had re ceived the money, and should have paid it over to Mr. Doss, but that unfortuiately meeting with an acquaintance, he got very drunk 'and spent it. 111 r. MALTBY said he should remand him until Monday next. CLEBKENWELL. Ann Wolsey, a ferocious looking woman, was charged with an assault of a very savage nature upon Mr. Coulson, the omnibus proprietor, and with other gross misconduct. Mr. Coulson is likewise landlord of the Whittington and Cat public-house, Holloway ; the prisoner entered the tap room of that house on the previous night and quite disiusted all there by her filthy language and gestures. Her husband came in and endeavoured to get her away, but ineffectually. Mr. Coulson then interfered, but she fastened on him like a wild beast, clawed and tore him, and it required the com bined exertions of several to tear her away from him. Ttie violence of her eries was such, that an immense crowd as sembled around the house. The police were sent for and she darted out, but meeting a man named Hatton in the passage, assaulted him in a similar manner. The police declared the woman was the terror of the neigh bourhood in which she resided. The prisoner was, in default of the payment of fine, coin mitted to the House of Correction for a month. The Earl and Countess of Jersey, accompanied by Lady Clementina Villiers, have arrived in town from East Lodge, Brighton, on their way to Middleton Park. We understand that Mr. Escott's recent Parlia mentary and after-dinner speeches have given great offence to many of his supporters at the last election. It is also rumoured that the Conservative party are looking out for an other candid-de to stand with Mr. East at the forthcomitz election. The name of Mr. Fleming, of Stoneham Park, has been mentioned in connexion with this ruplwr.—Hampshire rderaph, THE SUSPICIOUS CASE F POISONING AT BROMLET. why The case of the young woman, Harriet Menckten9olo., was poisoned by prussic acid two years back at % r ot and the subsequent extracrdinary con d u ct of th e at with, reference to the transaction, con ti n ue to crea.l:a a.rfor deal of interest in the neighbourhood, and some' C,de stances have recently transpired which rende r it rely sirable that the matter should be brought to some teTteet Lion, and that the guilty party—for that the don e ente r her death by foul play there seems to be no &V.' tained either by the jury or the medical men whoWereirbote mined—should be discovered, or that those againstf bit rom suspicions have been entertained should be exonorate.ud all share in the foul transaction.
