DENMARK. , The. following details of the explosion at Rends burg are taken from an official source : About noon yesterday a terrific report was heard, that shook the walls of the houses, broke all the glass in the windows throughout t he part of the town in the vicinity of the building, and shattered the tiling and slates of the roofs. For some minutes all . was consternation, and many imagined • that a bombardment of the town had begun, and that- a Danish shell. had fallen into thier dwellings. Every one rushed from the upper rooms • to the ground floor or into the streets. kwas soon ascertained, however; that the laboratory on the Eider island had exploded, and that some of the . houses nearest to it had been partially destroyed or . set on fire. A rocket blown upon the stabling of the inn, the City of Hamburgh, set it in flames, but by the prompt assistance of the military, who were instantly called under arms, they were extinguished , within:it- doing much damage. There must have been, comparatively, bat a small quantity of powder . in the place, or the houses on the Parade could scarcely have escaped destruction ; it was princi , pally shells and shrapnels in their completed state that exploded. The building in which the Danish prisoners are quartered is close to the • laboratory, and the inmates and their guard rushed into the street at the first alarm ; some of them _ were wounded by falling splinters. Two horses in a waggon standing on the Parade fell to the ground after plunging violently when the explosion took , place, and.were found dead. General Willisen im mediately took every measure to remove the alarm . of the inhabitants. The whole garrison was under arms, in five minutes after the accident, and the fire • engines, which have recently been put in good order and exercised, were in readiness; after an examina tion of the locality, the General issued the following notice:— " The inhabitants of Rendsburg are informed that the explosion which has just occurred is only the conse quence of sonic of the ammunition in the laboratory having taken fire. The several magazines of the fortress are out of danger, and beyond a few shells which are pro bably still lying in the building, no further explosion is to be apprehended. The damage to the stores of the army - is quite unimportant, and only the loss of a few lives is to be regretted. T:le inhabitants are hereby required to put their houses again in repair, ancrnot to allow this misfortune to deprive them cf that calm confidence with which they had till now met every occurrence. " I cannot omit the expression of my thanks to the people of Rendsburg for the prompt assistance they ren dered on this cceasion. " V. WlLiasert. " Rendsburg, August 7." In the first alarm many of the people were im pressed with the, belief that the explosion was caused • by some act of treachery, and had been the work of , Danish agents. That impression will probably re main, though the supposition is perfectly groundless. . To remove it the Civil Commissary at head••quarters, M. Schow, published a proclamation, which, though in - part a repetition of General Willisen'e, may be added :. • "To calm the excitsment in the public mind respect ing the explosior,V which a part of the laboratory of the fortress has been blown up, I beg to inform them, that though great dstn34ge has been done to the roofs and windows cif the houses in the town, and the loss , of several lives is to be lamented, yet the daniaze in a military point of view is not material. The accident was caust•d by some splinters of iron among the matter with which sbrapnels were being filled giving out -parks in the process of pounding. It is a remarkable f.ct that the nine workmen engaged in this operation, and who were in the building where the explosion took place, hey?, not been injured. • Rendsburg, Auz. 7." " CHs. Schow. Oa the west coast of Schleswig the Danes are landing troops, and taking possession of the island, without encountering any resistance. They have thus occupied all the Island cf Sylt. The whole of the coast, as far south Fohr, is in the hands of the Danes ; and for the avant of the means of defence by sea, the Holsteiners regard the loss of all the islands of the west coast as inevitable. The Danish journals state that the number of men and officers who have died of` their wounds since the battle of Ilstedt, a:al been buried in the churchyards of Flensburg, are—Danes, 436 privates and 33 ofli • eers ; Holsteiners, 148 privates and 12 officers. The number still lying in the hospitals at Flensburg is stated by the same authority to be 1,347. The Holstein prisoners of war, as they arrive at Copenhagen, are pieced on board a line-of-battle ship, which has been prepared for their reception in the same manner as in 1848. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at F&ve o'clock. PETITIONS. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition praying.for an alteration in tile law for arraigning prisoners, and that instead of being eallf.d on to plead nut guilty, they should plead that they wished to be tried: Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from Port lsnd aga4nst the Portland Harbour NATIONAL GALLERY (EDINBURGH) BILL. Oa the motion of the Earl of MINTO, this • Bill was srl a third time and patird. SPITALFIELDS AND SUOREDITCH NEW STREET BILL. This Bill was read a second time. PORTLAND HARBOUR BILL. The Earl of CARLISLE moved the committal of this Bill. ' Lord REDESDALE moved that it be . referred to a :Select Committee, in order to give private parties op .posed to the Bill an opportunity of being heard. The Earl of CARLISLE thought all the parties in terested had already best] heard both before a Com mission oa the spot, and before a Select Committee of the House of Commons, and the inhabitants of the island bad agreed to. abide by the award of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and their LordNhips divided, when there appeared— Contents (for the committal of the Bill).., is • Non conterfts (for Lord Redesdale's amendment) Majority for Ministers —l2 The Sill then passed through Committee. • MEDICAL CHARITIES (IRELAND) BILL. On the order of the day for the second reading of this Bill being read. The Earl of LITCAN expressed a hope that this Bill would be referred to a Select Committee up stairs. Lord bIONTEAGLE presented a petition from Leitrim against this Bill. He hoped the Bill would be Withdrawn, but that another Bill on the subject would be introduced next session. . The Duke of LEINSTER said it was a most import- , ant measure, and if withdrawn, he hoped it would be introduced nest session with amendments and improve ments. The Earl of MOUNTCASHELL hoped the Bill would be withdrawn. The Earl of RODEN thought the subject was too *portant to he pressed et this late period of the session. "rhe Earl of ST. GERMANS hoped the Noble Lords on his side of the 1-I‘.ino would not ohiect to affirm the Principle Gf the rill if the Government would withdraw ir for the present kevsicu after the principle had been 5 armed. The Earl el' GLEN GALL objected to the Bill alto gether.

The Earl of LUCAN approved of the principle of central supervision. He would prefer the responsibility of postponing this Bill to the responsibility of hurrying it through their Lordships. He objected to the other House legislating totally indepently of this. Lord REDESDALE said the Bill was introduced into the House of Commons, and did not reach their Lordships until August. The Marquis of CLANRICADE said there bad been several petitions presented in favor of the Bill, but not one petition had been presented to their Lordships against it. The Bill was then read a second time. SUMMARY JURISDICTIONS (IRELAND) BILL. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved that this Bill be read a third time. The Earl of LUCAN thought that some measure should be adopted to prevent tenants running off with their crops and cheating their landlords. He had objected to the Landlord and Tenant Bill, but he thought some measure ought to be adopted to put a stop to the present system of plunder, and if the Government were in ear nest in this expresserl desire to put a stop to it they could not object to his motion. He proposed to insert a clause giving to the Irish proprietor the same protection that the English proprietor bad. The Noble Earl then proposed a clause, giving power to Justices in Petty Sessions to hear and adjudicate upon complaints brought by landlords against tenants for clandestinely removing crops. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE objected to the clause, as having no relation whatever to the Bill. The landlord and tenant question was one of such importance that it could only be legislated for as a whole, it would be most unjust and impolitic to make portions of the question the subject of a one-sided and piece-meal legislation. The Earl of GLENGALL supported the clause. It was of consequence if the recommendation of the most absurd of reports, the Devon Commission Report, that the power of distraining on growing crops was taken away from the Irish landlords; that was piece-meal legisla tion. He understood that in the concoction of that re port each Commissioner was permitted to recommend his own nostrum. _ _ Lord REDESDALE thought the clause ought to be inserted, yet he he could not forget that a Bill involving this principle had been rejected by the House of Com mons' and he hoped his Noble Friend would withdraw his clause. _ _ _ The Earl of LUCAN was determined to press his clause to a division. Lord MON TEAGLE hoped the clause would not be pressed, although he thought the subject one demanding legislative interference. The Earl of LUCAN said the object of the House of Commons was to remove all protection from the Iri►h landlords.—(. No, no," from Earl Grey.) He was not sur prised at the interruption of the Noble Earl as his relative bad opposed the Bill in the House of Commons. He was astonished the Noble Earl had remained silent so long. Earl GREY explained. He considered the report was very fit for the consideration of Parliament, but he thought it impolitic to risk the loss of this Bill by the introduction of such a clause. The Earl of LUCAN was determined to divide. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and their Lordships divided, when there appeared— Contents (for the clause) ... 6 Not-Contents 22 Majority for Ministers... ... —l6 Tha clause was consequently rejected. (LEFT SITTING.) would be upon an Irish Coercion Bill. Coercion Bills and standing armies still ruled the Government of Ire land, as they had always done. Those Coercion Bills had been passed over and over again, and still crime had gone on it. the country in scarcely any diminished ratio. The cause of crime in Ireland was that the hands of the oppressed were raised against the-ir oppressors. In consequence of the number of evictions which had taken place, thousands of people were left destitute in the high roads to perish from want of proper food and clothing; and yet the Noble Lerd (Lord John Russell) not only had it in his power to remedy that evil by a measure for improving the relations between landlord and tenant, but might be enabled, by some such measure, to stay the hand of the assassin much better than by an act of coercion like the present. He had been in every part of Ireland, and he declared he had never seen in any other part of the world the people in so miserable and wretched a condition. The serfs of Russia and the savage Indians inl America were much better off. Instead of the revenue derived frOm Ireland being employed for the legitimate pupose of improving the condition of the country, it was ex pended upon a standing army, and the other accompa niments of a coercive Government. It had been said, all the evils of Ireland arose from the people themselves, but he denied that it was so. He Lad seen Irishmen in our North American provinces, and in all parts of the United States, competing successfully in every branch a industry with Englishmen, Scutchmen, French men, and Dutchmen, and in no instance had he found them inferior. He thought that all the misery of the Irish people was to be attributed to bad and unjust laws, and it rested with the Noble Lord to pass some measure for their relief. Sir C. ARMSTRONG objected to the Bill, observing hat the condition of Ireland arose from our vicious egislation. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the third reading 75 Against it ... - _ Majority ... -54 The Bill was then read a third time and passed. The Lough Corrib Improvement Company Compen sation (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. On the consideration of the amendments to the Copy right of Designs Act Amendment Bill, Colonel SIBTHORP stigmatised this Bill as one of those free-trade measures which the present Ministers introduced to please their party. This was of a piece with that piece of tom-foolery of the Exhibition of 1851. They were throwing cold water upon the inddstry of the British manufacturer, they were undermining the con stitution, and they should beware lest they should be setting in motion that which they could not atop. There was a report that the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department intended to increase the police force, and he should be glad to know from the Right Hon. Gentleman himself if there was any truth in the report. Be belief ed that such a measure would be necessary, and an increase in the taxation would follow as a matter of course. It was proposed after they had received the report that they should at once proceed to the third reading. The state of the session, perhaps, rendered it necessary, but he protested against the proceedings which the House had lately wit nessed. Formerly Honourable Members had the Wednesday and Saturday to themselves, but now they not only sat at all hours of the night, but all hours of the day, and he fully expected that next session they would be called to sit on Sundays.—(Hear.) The report was then agreed to. The Holyhead Harbour Bill was read a third time and passed. The Lords' amendments to the Commons' amendments on the Ecclesiastical Commission Bill were considered and agreed to. LONDON-BRIDGE APPROACHES BILL. On the morion for the. third reading of this Bill, Mr. HUME again took the opportunity of protesting against the continuance of the coal tax, and hoped it would be abolished as soon as possible. The Bill was then read a third time, and passed. The Union of Liberties with Counties (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Improvement of Towns (Ireland) Bill was read a second time. The Ceurt of Prerogative (Ireland) Bill passed through Committee. on at the time in France. As regarded tho security afforded to British subjects, he had not the slight est ap prehension that their persons or property would be sub ject to any danger. PROGRESS OF PUBLIC BUSINESS. Sir B. HALL then rose to call the attention of the House to a return headed " Public Bills," lately printed by order of the House, with the view of making some observations in regard to the progress of pUblio business during the present session, in the hope that next session their time would be better occupied. He might -state at the outset, ha thought, without fear, of contradiction, thut in no previous session, since the passing of the Reform Act, had there been a more anxi ous desire to transact and get through the business. During the whole session they had sat 1,041 hours, bad held 149 sittings, over a space of twenty-five weeks, ex clusive of holydays, and, averaging 100 hours for the Wednesday sittings, this gave 10i hours a day for four days a week during The whole ses sion. All this was exclusive of Committees work, to which most Hon. Members were obliged to at tend. He thought it would be advisable if, during the recess, Government were to consider the subject and in the next session bring forward some suggestions which should have the effect of remedying this of which he complained. ...The Hon. Barottet was (LEFT SPEARING.) In the course of his speech Mr. Justice MAULE ap peared at the table, and brought up from the House of Lords the Duke of Cambridge's Estate Bill, agreed to by their Lordships. HERRING FISHING.—The fishing along the coast is by no means up to the average mark of former years, and the markets continue dull.—Aberdeen Herald. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 10. (Before Mr. Commissioner GoULBURN.) IN RE HOGG AND NOGG. The bankrupts were auctioneers, at Landport, near Portsmouth. They had also been lessees of two theatres at that place. This was the certificate meeting. There was no opposition. Their debts were about 3,0001.; assets nearly 10s. in the pound. His HONOUR, observing that their cash-book had not been correctly kept, suspended the certificates for six months from the date of the bankruptcy, with protec• Lion in the mean time; when granted, the certificates to be of the second class. IN RE NA.SH ♦ND NEALE.-THE REIGATE AND DORK ING BANK. Application was made in this case on behalf of Mr. Killick, one of the assignees, and chairman of the Dork ing board of guardians, to be allowed to transfer hid proof for 7001. odd, made on behalf of the union, from the joint estate to the separate estate of Nash. Afcer the facts bad been partially gone into, his HONOUR directed the case to stand over. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Aug. 10. MR. SERGEANT MANNING AND THE INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Shortly before the rising :of the Court Mr. Horry made an application to Mr. Commissioner Law for the discharge of a person named John Brown, who had been committed on Thursday by Mr. Sergeant Man ning, the Judge of, the Whitechapel County Court, to Whitecross-street Prison, notwithstanding his final order. This is the second case of the kind in which the two Courts have come into collision. Mr. Commissioner Law decided a few months back, in the case of a person named Symonds, that the protection of the Insolvent Debtors' Court extended to relieve insolvents from orders of County Courts where no order of commitment had been made, and on that ground discharged Symons from Whitecross-street Prison. Since then Mr. Sergeant Man ning has enforced his opinion in opposition by a commit ment. How long this state of things will continue it is im possible to say, but if persisted in some serious conse quences to the administration of justice are likely to arise. It appeared that Brown bad been summoned for a doc tor's bill to the Whitechapel County Court, and ordered to pay ISs. a montb,which instalments he paid from January to May last, when he fihd his petition under the Protection Act, and obtained his final order on the 17th of June last. Two days before he obtained his final order he was served with a judgment summons for ❑ot pa) ing the instalments. On the 27th of June, according to his affidavit, he attended the County Court and pro duced his final order, when ha was told by Mr. Sergeant Manning that it was of no avail, and that he must con tinue to pay the instalments. He refused to make such payments, and on Thursday last was committed to prison by the warrant of Mr. Sergeant Manning. The balance of the debt was only 11. 83. 6d. The officer of Whitecross-street Prison produced the warrant, and stated that the defendant was still in con finement. _ _ Mr. Commissioner LAW closely inspected the warrant and said it recited that the defendant had not appeared. Mr. HORRY referred to his affidavit, in which he dis tinctly stated that he had appeared. Mr. Commissioner LAW said there was a great, dis crepancy between the judge and the defendant. The warrant of the judge recited that he did not attend at all, whilst the oath of the other declared that he did attend. It appeilred from a discussion which took place be. tween Mr. Horry and the Commissioner that the defen dant had no attorney in his present application, but that be (Mr. Horry) had drawn the affidavit from a " case" submitted to him. He (Mr. lorry) cited the case of Symons, and hoped the Court would grant a warrant of discharge, which would supersede the war rant of commitment of Mr. Sergeant Manning. Mr. Commissioner LAW carefully went over the case, and referred to the application in the mutter of Symons. It would seem that the judge bad ordered the commit ment because the party was of ability to pay, and the clerk who drew the warrant had set forth that the de fendant had not appeared. His Honour intimated that the warrant of discharge would issue when he had a copy of the warrant cf commitment and a copy of, his order in the former case. The defendant was, therefore, discharged, subject to the warrants being lodged, and thus there is another judi c i a l co lli s i on b etween M r. Sergeant Manning and the Insolvent Debtors' Court. ADJOURNMENT OF THE COURT. Mr. Commissioner LAW co nc l u d e d t h e s i t ti ngs, an d the Court on it 3 rising udjqurned for the vacation. WESTMINSTER CuUN l'Y COURT, Aug. 10. ROSENTIIALL V. BA HADOOR--THE NEPAULESE PRINCES. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, M. Rosenthal', an artist, against the defendant, Colonel Dheer Shuwsheere Jung Bahadoor, one of the Nepaulese the sum of 151 . for painti ng a portra i t. T Princeshe plaintiffw ho ba s v a e id re t c h e a p t tl yvi s it e d: t hi s coun t r y, t o recover he was instructed by one of the Nepaulese Princes, during their stay in London, to paint his portrait, and as it was only to be a small sketch, the price fixed was ten guineas; but as he' after Nards wished to.be placed on horseback, an additional U. was to be charged. His brother, the Prince Bahadoor, was so pleased with the portrait that he gave an order for his. likeness to be taken in .a different way for 251., and the order was executed, and the money paid immediately. The bill was sent in, and his highness objected to pay more than 101. The Learned JunoF.--What did he say ? Plaintiff — He said here is 101, and it you do not like to accept that, I will not pay you one farthing.—(Laughter.) The Learned JUDGE then gave a verdict for thb plain tiff for the full amount claimed. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME culcuir.—Guilli f ord, Aug. 10. (Before the LORD CHIEF BARON.) SMITH V. ORCHARD. —PLEA. OF INFANCY. This was en action to recover the sum of 371. 13s. 61, for goods sold and delivered, in one count, and in ano ther 40/. upon a bill of exchange accepted by the de fendant. The only plea upon the record was one alleg ing that at the time the defendant accepted the bill he was an infant under twenty•one years of age. Mr. Chi/niers and Mr. Lush were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. 11a. kips was for the defendant. s d t etrhe the defendant d c Threickp 13ainudtiirs'aiil-ctalPoPteharBm'aiker at No. 5, W es t Smith an on business in Lambs' Conduit-street Smith field. In the beginning of th e present year the defen dant called upon the plaintiff and or d ered several arti cleseafernrydianngt is a of furniture, amounting in value to the sum abovc mentioned, and on the 24th of February he gave a bill i n payment. It was understood at this time that the sailcloth business belonged to the defendant, but it ap peared in point of fact that it belonged to his mother and that he was merely managing it for her. Mr. IlAwitiNs said he had no defence upon the count for goods sold and delivered, but as regarded the bill of exchange he should show that at the period when the defendant accepted it he was not of age, and therefore was not liable. Mrs. Orchard, the defendant's mother, was the n ex amined. Sh e deposed that the defendant was h er son - and that be w -. s b orn on the 14th of April, 1830. Mr. CHAMBERS, in reply, said he thought the course that had b een a d o p te d by the defendant in this cas e .was moat absurd. He must have been perfectly well aware that he had no defence upon the count in the declara tion for goods sold and delivered, and all the expense of this action had been incurred fur the sake of saving the difference between the actual value of the goods and the amount of the bill of exchange. The CRIEi BARON, in summing up, said it appeared to him a most Profligate proceeding for a mother and eon to carry on business in this manner, and fur the latter to order goods as upon his own account, and when the time came for payment, to turn round upon the cre ditor, and say that be was not of age; and he could not help observing, that there appeared to be a good deal of fraud as well as folly mixed up in the transaction. He then directed the jury to return a verdict fur the defend ant upon the p:ea for the bill of exchan g e, and f or the plaintiff upon the other. T he effect of this, he sa id , shillingswoul dbec,ost costs ftotrhtehpalt /31es, end also the ex penses of theaintiff w ould have to pay a f ew witnesses in coming down to Guildford to prove the de fendant was under age; but the bulk of the costs, pro. bably 50/. or 601., would fall u p on the defendant, th e h Baron whole whole sum. actually in dispu te not bein g more than 21. log.

CHADWIC K.-- NORTHWALEs RAILWAY. This was an action brought to . recover a sum of 7001. ' , fo r lalarY due to the plaintiff , a nd also damages for his having remained in England at the request of the de fendant. Mr. Bovill and Mr. Barnard were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. E. James, Q.C., and Mr. Lush, for the defendant/ The defendant in this action was the chairman of the North Wales Railway Company. The plaintiff had been its secretary, and, as is well known to the public, the affairs of that company became the subject of investiga tion by a Committee of the House of Lords in the result of which both the plaintiff and defendant were committed to the custody of the Usher of the Black Rod for con tempt of the Howe in not producing before the Com mittee the books and proceedings of the company, which had been required by the House. The plaintiff alleged that he had been detained in England to assist the direc tors in the inquiry before the House of Lords, and that a contract was made by the defendant that he should be pnid a year's salary, 3001, and another year's salary as a bonus, and a further sum for the period he should be de tained, if he performed the services they required of him in winding up the affairs of the company. In order to establish the claim various minutes and proceedings of the company were read, and also resole ' tions that were passed when defendant was chairman, and from which it was contended that the contract bad been established. Mr. Eales, one of the directors of the company, was called to prove that the defendant bad signed the aol e• merit that was relied upon. He likewise stated that the defendant had lent large sums of the fund.; of the com pany to various persons.-45.000/. to the South-Western Railway Company, and other large sums to friends of his own. The plaintiff, he said, to considered did per form the services that were required of him in connexion with the winding• up of the company. and he believed at the present time he was " designated" as the secretary to some foreign mining company. The witness likewise said that be saw a cheque fur 6001. in the possession of the defendant, which he understood was intended to settle the claim of the plaintiff. In cross-examination by Mr. JAMES, the witness said that he was a director of the company for four years. He had not borrowed any money from the funds of the com pany himself, but his brother-in-law had, and the loan was upon his (witness's) recommendation. It was 3,000/., and he would not swear that he did, not himself receive the identical cheques. He had the money, and used it, certainly, and his brother-in-law had none of it. He did not use it in his business, and he declined to say to what purpose he applied it. The loan had since been repaid with interest, as bad also the money borrowed by the South-Western Railway. He would not swear that the loan to his brother-in-law was repaid before the in quiry into the affairs of the company commenced in the House of Lords. Some other evidence was adduced from which it ap peared that there had been other money transactions between the plaintiff and defendant, and that the former had received a sum of 1701., which it was contended was to be considered a part payment of his claim upon Mr. Chadwick. Mr. JAMES took several objections to the form of the contract, arid it was, arranged, after a good deal of dis cussion, that certain points should be reserved for the consideration of the Court. The Learned COUNSEL then addressed the jury. He said that although he could not attempt to justify all the conduct of the defendant in dealing as he had with the funds of the company, y•-t he did think that, taking into consideration the painful position of the plaintiff, he was the last person who ought to have i❑strutted his coun sel to take up all these painful proceedings agains the defendant, particularly when they had nothing to do with the case. Mr. Bovna. said the matters in question were already public enough, and all the facts had been printed in the minutes of the proceedings of the House of Lords. Mr. JAMES said he was aware of that, but everybody did not have access to those minutes, and he repeated that it was an ungenerous proceeding on the part of the plaintiff to have given such instructions to his counsel, and he could not help observing, at the same time, that considering the conduct of Mr. Eales as connected with this company, it was not a very kind act on his part to come forward and give such evidence against his co director as he had on the present occasion. The Learned Counsel then made some pointed obiervations upon the position of gentlemen who, like the defendant and a still greater railway monarch, he said, when they were de posed or had abdicated, were calumniated and attacked by those who when they were in power treated them as idols and little pieties in the peat temple of Mammon. The CHIEF BARON briefly summed up, and the jury after a short deliberation returned a verdict for the plain tiff—Damages 4301. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, Aug. 10. NISI BElUS.—(Before Lord Chief Justice CAMPBELL.) EARL FITZHARDINGE V. LONG. This was a special jury cause. Mr. Keating, Q.C., end Mr. Gray, for the plaintiff; and Mr. Whately, Q.C., fur the defendant. It was an action by a landlord against a tenant to re cover half-a-year's rent. The defendant resisted the action on some grounds of his own, which did not trans pire, but which were perfectly untenable, judging from the remarks of his counsel, who gave up the case on Earl Fitzhardinge consenting to give the tenant twelve months' time to pay. The pleas on the record were, besides the general issue, that the defendant had re ceived notice to quit before the rent was due, and that ho had also been evicted from the farm before the rent was due. nal in passing sentence; and if in the present instance the prisoner imagined that in being transported he would become a new man, and live a comparatively easy life in a foreign land, he could assure him he was much mistaken. BURGLARY AND ASSAULT.— Samuel Trash, 16, and Samuel Osborne, 17, were indicted for feloniously enter ing the dwelling-house of Joseph Edgar, and stealing therefrom a chisel and a duug-fork. Mr. COLE, who conducted the prosecution, stated that Mr. Edgar (who wai since dead) resided at Crewkert,e, in this county. About half-past five on the evening of the 12th of May Mr. Edgar was sitting with his wile in the kitchen of his house, and bearing a noise in a room overhead, be went to sea how it had been occasioned. Shortly after Mrs. Edgar heard a heavy fall, and, on going up stairs, she met the prisoner Trash, who had a dung- fork in his hand, with which he knocked her down, and made his escape. Mr. Edgar was found in the bed- room lying on the floor covered with blood, and with a t chisel lying by his side. ' The prosecutrix was called to depose to these facts, but it appeared from her statement that no property was actually taken from the premises. The Learned JUDGE thereupon said he hardly thought the charge laid in the indictment could be sustained, be- cause it was essential to make out the crime of house breaking and stealing, that some property should either he removed from the premises, or so removed as to refl• der it apparent that there was an intention to commit a felony. In the present instance it was most probable that the chisel had been used for the purpose of breaking open boxes and drawers, and that finding himself dis turbed Trash used the dunglork for the purpose of re sistance, and not with any intention of stealing it. The jury adopted this view, and Acquitted the prisoners. Another indictment, charging them with assaulting Edgar, with intent to murder him, and to do him some grievous bodily harm, was then proceeded. Trash was found Guilty, and sentenced to be transported for 20 years. Osborne was acquitted. RICHMOND PETTY SESSIONS, August 10. SiticuLaa CHARGE OF BIGAMY.—Mary Fitzgerald, was charged before Mr. Penrhyn, and a full bench of magistrates, with having, on the 17th of January, 1831, at St. George's, Bloomsbury, feloniously intermarried with one William Beckford, her former husband, Samuel Fitzgerald, being still alive. The prisoner was married to a person named Fitz- gerald, in August, 1824, and in 1831 she married Beckford. According to her statement it would appear that she married the latter person—by whom she had five children—believing that Fitzgerald was dead, he having gone out in a condemned regiment. It turned out, however, that he was not dead, and about ten years after the marriage in question he came to the house of the second husband, and "claimed his wife." The prisoner, who said that she was not aware Fitz• gerald was alive when she married Becktord, was com mitted for trial. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CITY POLICE COMMITTEE. REFUSING TO ADMIT THE POLlCE.—Michael Myers, the keeper of a beer-shop in Bureas passage, Cutler street, was summoned for refusing to admit the police on Sunday morning. Finie, 41, stated that at ten minutes to twelve on Sunday morning he saw six persons leave the house. He knocked, the door was opened, but slammed back again when it was seen that he was an officer. He stood at the door more than a quarter of an hour, and a fe male and two men looked out of an upper window. In the early psrt of the morning he had seen between twenty and thirty persons enter the house. Defendant said he was in the habit of keeping open till eleven o'clock on Sunday morning to sell coffee, but certainly not beer, and he did not do so on the present occasion. Mr. Alderman CARDEN inflicted a find of 40s. and costs. • ______ _ GUILDHALL. THE RIVAL GAS COMPANIES.— William Gray, one of the workmen in the employ of the Great Central Gas Company, appeared in answer to an intormatiou charg ing him with wilfully and maliciously cutting and other wise injuring a pipe belonging to the City Chartered Gas Company, which was used for supplying the public lamps with gas. Frederick Billows, Assistant-Inspector to the Char tered Gas Company, said that he saw the pipe at Fins bury-place, and at 7 o'clock on Thursday he saw it quite sound. It was encrusted with rust; but there were no holes in it to allow an escape of gas. Seeing the men at work in the trench were bringing the new main in such a direction as would necessarily disturb the pipes belonging to the City Chartered Gas Company,- he called Gray, the foreman of the works, and cautioned him to avoid the pipes, or otherwise he would effect a perms neat injury to the pipes belonging to the City Chartered Company if he carried the new main so close to the old one. Gray said, "Very, well, I will go under it." In stead of keeping to that promise, the next morning witness found he had cut the pipe, appareutiy with a chisel, and thereby stopped the supply to the lamp that the pipe served. On saying to Gray that he had cut the pipe, ho replied " Yes, a gentleman came here and told me to cut it." He afterwards said ho was instructed by Mr. Bughy to cut the pipe. On being cross-examined by Mr. Under-Sheriff Wire (who was retained by the the Great Central Gas Company to defend the prisoner), he (witness) stated that the pipe was quite sound when he first saw it, and that the holes in it when produced were occasioned by the removal of the rust. John Henry Brock Billows stated that he bad from 20 to 30 similar charges against the new company, all of which might have been avoided had the parties directing the works been disposed. lie called the at tention of the Commissioners of Sewers to the mode in which the company were conducting their works, and he stopped them, and would .not allow them to go on. That being the case for the prosecution, Mr. Wire rose to reply. He contended that it was absolutely im possible for a new company, in opening the roads, t,.) feel their way amidst the multiplicity of pipes in the public thoroughfares of the city of London, so as to re train from doing some kind of injury to some of the piper, and that, too, without any malicious intention. He, was confident that bad the damage complained of been effected by the Commercial Gas Company in stead of a new rival one, the Alderman would then have hesrd nothing of the inlorniation at present before him. Alderman HUNTER. said it seemed to him that the pipe was intentionally broken, and therefore wilfully, though not maliciously. Gray was warned not to touch the pipe, and invited to alter the direction of the main. Grey said, " Very well, I will go under it." Instead of which, he receives instructions, as he has said, and as Mr. Bugby admits, to break the pipe. He would, therefore, fine Gray 20e., the lowest penalty; but he conceived it was important that no company should be permitted to destroy the works of another. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair in the new House at Three o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the followings Bills were considered and agreed to: — Hartlepool West Harbour and Docks. Oxford. Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway. The Bills were afterwards read a third time and passed, STANDING ORDERS REVISION COMMITTEE, Mr. W. PATTEN moved the adoption of the report of the Standing Orders Revision Committee, and ex plained the alterations recommended by the - Committee, the tchitf of which was, that the officer of Breviates should in future devote his entire services and attention to the chairman of Ways and Means, with the view of assisting him in disposing of the private business that came before the House. The Committee also recom mended that the Chairman of the Ways and Means should have power to make unopposed B►lls opposed fur the purpose of having their merits fully investigated. Mr. LABOUCHERE thought the House could not do better than adopt the alterations recommended by the Committee, and took the opportunity of thanking the Hon. Gentleman the Member for North Lancashire for the time, care, and attention which he had devoted to the private business of the House. Mr. BERNAL also added his weed of praise to the ackno*ledgment of the Right Hon. the President of the Board of Trade. Mr. HUME thought the alterations which had been recommended were great improvements, and had les sened the labour connected with the private business; but it was the opinion of two Committees that a large proportion of the private business which now occupied a great (hal of the time of the House could be managed without coming before the House at all. Atter a few words-from Mr. WILSON PATTEN, The report was adopted, the standing orders were read, and the alterations made in them as recommended. MERCANTILE MARINE BILL. On the motion of Mr. LABOUCHERE, the Lords' amendments to the Mercantile Marine Bill were agreed to. PE FITIONS. .Mr. G. A. HAMILTON presented a petition from Dublin, complaining of c ,, rtain provisions in the Medi cal Charities (Ireland) Bill, and of the hasty manner in which the Bill was passed through Committee. Sir G. GREY presented a petition from certain coal owners in IsLprthumberlarid and Durham against the application of the coal tax, and in defraying the expense of any improvements in London. CRI&IE AND OUTRAGE ACT (IRELAND) CON TINUANCE (No. 2) BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this Bill, Mr. G. THOMPSON moved that the Bill be read a third time this day three months, because he believed that it was wholly uuneeessary, because no case had been made out for the continuance of so obnoxious a measure, and because it would have a tendency directly the opposite of that which her Majesty's Ministers proposed it should have in tranquillizing Ireland. He considered that though the Bill might put powers in the hands of the Lord-Lieutenant to repress crime and to punish those who might offend against it, it would arm tens of thousands of individuals with a strong argument to use against the Government, more especially as no measure either before the House or promised, or which bad been passed, went to the root of those evils in respect of which the present Bill had been introduced. The Bill was not only unnecessary, but it was an insult, an injustice, and an outrage upon the Irish people.—(Hear.) It should not Le forgotten,' in connexion with the mea sure that when the liberties of Ireland were placed in jeopardy only 15 out of 105 Irish - Members could be found to vow against the continuance of an arbi trary and unconstitutional form of government for a further period of three y ears.—(Hear, hear.) On the second reading of the Bill, Mr. O'Conaell moved an amendment to the effect that the Bill would tend to aggravate crime and outrage in Ireland, and on that ec• casion the Noble Lord now at the head of the Govern ment, and the greater part of the present Ministry, voted against the amendment, though many of the Ho nourable Gentlsm la on that side of the House then voted wish Mr. O'Connell against the Coercion Bill, end now voted with the Noble Lord in favour of a Coercion Bill. On the third reading of the Bill, in 1846, the greater part of the present Ministry voted against the Bill, and now, in 1850, they were touna voting in favour of a similar measure. On that occasion Sir Robert Peel was turned out of office,'and the Noble Lord formed a Ministry, and attempted to govern Ireland. In 1847 the Noble Lord was placed in the humiliating position of recommending the same measure in her Majesty's Speech, the adoption of which he had the year before opposed. That measure was passed. It was now expired, and they were called upon to continue it; but it the House did justice to themselves and the country, they would refuse its continuance. What was the case made out for the present Bill? Some months ago they were told from the Throne that peace and tranquillity prevailed in Ireland. Now, had this state of things changed? He for one said it had not, and yet they were called upon to pass the Bill in the absence of any case in its favour. The total number of crimes and outrages com mitted or reported in Ireland in the past year amounted to 1,344, while in 1845, when Sir Robert Peel proposed to pass his Bill, the number reported in excess of the previous year amounted to 1,975, or 631 leas than the returns of last year. In the face of these figures, then could any one dare to assert that a case existed to justify the passing cf this obnoxious Bill, sanctioning penalties that were utterly at variance with the - principles of the constitution? It could not be that this Bill was proposed because they had had no experience of coercion, for ever since the Act of Union the policy of every Government to wards Ireland had been based upon coercion. Before, therefore, he could consent to make this Bill law he o ta f vo t u h r e . p !e la se n l t B4 G 6 ov t e h r e n m N en o t bl c e al must hav e some further information in its L e: r u d po a n t the the Admi nistrationhead under Sir Robert Peel to go at once to the root of the Irish evil, and, abandoning coercion, try the effect of remedial measures. Now he made the sa me call upon the Noble Lord- himself. Why could not Parliament be asembled together in Novem ber next, expressly to consider the Irish ques tion ? The fact was , the Noble Lord suffered hi mse lf long the Noble better Lord f is to be forced into legislating f or the few at the ex. pease fe e t a l t r nature, and reverse that policy. He concluded by o would h e be many , induced t but h follow hoped the d e mov ing that the Bill be read a third time that day thr ee reenths, declaring that he would resist the measure to the very last. Mr. MOORE tendered the English Members who had opposed thi s 13111 his best thanks for the ser vice they had rendered to Ireland on this occasion, though be should have liked it much better if that support had been given with less of self-glorification and less of asperity. He concluded by seconding the motion. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL regretted her Majesty's Mi nisters had thought it necessary to propose the conti nuance of the Crime and Outrage Act. He believed t e a t a mild remedy was much more likely to cure the oiseasc under which Ireland laboured than the severe one which was involved in this Bill. He would now, as he nad always done, oppose the further progress of the Bill. Mr. W. 'WILLIAMS said he little thought that the apt -me be should give after his return to that House THE RAJA OF SATTARA. Mr. HUME asked Sir John Hobhouse, the Pre. sident of the Board of Control, what provision had been made for the widow and adopted son of the late Pertaub Sing, Raja of Sattara, now detained in exile at Benares, and the reasons for withholding from the legal heir the private property of which his late Highness was possessed at the time of his deposition, and which, according to the documents on the table of the House, it was guaranteed by the Governor of Bombay and by the political resident,' Colonel Ovans, should be held at hit disposal? Sir J. HOBHOUSE—Mr. Speaker, the question put to me by my Hon. Friend is in a great degree entered on the paper to which he has alluded, that is to say, with reference to the provision the Government pro posed to make fur the widow and the adopted son of the late Pertaub Singh, Raja of •Sattara. My Honourable Friend is aware, that when Sir James Came first of all made a statement of the provision intended for the family of the ex-Rsjah, the statement given to the adopted Rajah was that the widow should receive 800 rupees a month until his death. When be died, that sum was offered to the Rs- nee, the surviving widow, but she refteei to receive it, stating it was inadequate. In conse quence of the opinion so entertained by her, the home authorities communicated with th e Indian authorities, and instructed them to make an addition to that sum, not only for the widow but also for the adopted son ; and, as my Honourable Friend has nuw stated, the sum which has been fixed on for the main tenance of the surviving widow and adopted son is ex actly three times the amount which was fixed on by the administration of Sir James Carnac, when he made his first arrangement. Whether that sum is sufficient or not admits of question ; but no person can say that suf ficient attention has not been paid to this subject, when exactly three times the amount of allowance which was originally proposed by Sir J. Carnac has been fixed on for ' the maintenance of the surviving widow and adopted son. Indeed it was not until the death of the ex-Raja that the sum was said to be insufficient. My Honourable Friend is mistaken when he says that there was no undertaking with reference to this 12,0001., or that if the 12,000/. a year were allowed that it should be in full of all demands, for I hold in my hand a copy of a letter which may be seen in the Parliamentary papers of 1843. page 296, a letter from the Secretary of the Bombay Government to the Secretary of the Government in India. that is to say from Sir James Carnac —to Lord Auckland in which these words occur: " The Government deem it necessary to state that theyhave gone into the whole claim advanced by the ex-Rajah," that is with reference to his private property, " and they think his claims should be declared tnadmisible, except that which relates to property, which can be shown to have belonged to him privately. The 120,000 rupees, therefore, which are , to be paid to him, that is the 12 000/. a year for himself are to be paid in satisfaction of all demands whatsoever against the Sattara Government." That was the letter written by the Secretary at Bombay, which will be seen, as I . have stated, amongst the Parliamentary papers, and which was communicated to the ex-Rajah. In fact, I know he was cognizant of it and of the whole arrangement that was made not only with himself', but with all the other parties for I happened at the time to hold the same place that 1 do now, and I remember that the 12,0001., all thing con sidered together, was thoeght to be ample remuneration. With respect to the other part of what my Honour ' able Friend says, that there was a guarantee, I beg to tell him that there was no guarantee, none whatever, with respect to the private property of the Raja. The only understanding that I ever heard of was that whatever he could prove to be his private property he should have, and my Hon. Friend must be quite aware of this, that the reigning Raja, the brother who succeeded him, complained that when he went to Bernares he took away with him more than was his private property, both in jewels and in money. My Honourable Friend says he was not deprived of the money, but at the same time the claim to it was ex amined by the Secretary to the Bombay Government, and he as well as Lord Auckland declared this claim to be inadmissible. Having said thus much, I will inform my Honourable Friend that I think this claim should be reduced (as we understood) as far as possible, and I have written privately to Lord Auck land, telling him what my views are on the subject. Very possibly on receiving my letter he will cause inquiry to be made into the matter. I will also tell ray Hon. Friend that I think, with the Government, the allowance was ample, so far as the ex-Raja was concerned; but I must also add that Ido not agree with the Government with regard to the family of Ranee of Sattara, and this will be seen by the papers. ISLAND OF JERSEY. Mr. HUME asked Sir G. Grey whether any measures had been adopted by the Government of the Island tif Jersey, to carry into effect the alterations recomtnended by the Commissioners that inquired and reported on the state of law in that island? Sir GEORGE GREY said the Government of the island, in accordance with the recommendations of the commissioners, had made some very material alterations in the criminal law, and those alterations in com pliance with the usual course pursued on such occa sions had been referred to the Attorney and Soli citor• Generals, and they were at present under their consideration; and he had no doubt they would devote that time and attention to them which the importance and magnitude of the stbject demanded. • Mr. SMYTHE asked the Foreign Secretary whether there was.any objection to:lay before Parliament copies of instructions to Mr. Hood, senior, Lord Bowden, Captain Gore, Mr. Hood, junior, and Mr. Southern, some time Agents in La Plata: Whether our relations with France in La Plata were of such a nature as to afford any hope of a , successful issue from the offer of our good offices made in the third article of the new Convention? and whether security to the lives and pro perty of British subjects residing in the Banda Oriental had been guaranteed? Lord P‘ALMEitBiON replied, that as the instruc tions which had been sent out in regard to the affairs of La Plata had concluded in a treaty, it would not be consistent with his public duty to produce the cor respondence, because it was obvious great inveni euce might arise from such a course. That treaty he considered to be very satisfactory. With re gard to our relations with France the Govern ment had thought it better for the interest of all parties to conclude their treaty with General Rom and the Argentine Republic without wilitiog the Toult of the irgociatioue which were going COXWELL V. NULLS ♦ND OTHERS. Mr. Keating, Q.C., and Mr. Skinner appeared for the plaintiff in this case; and Mr. Alexander, Q.C., and Mr. Gray for the defendants. This case occupied some hours, but the point at issue lay in a nutshell. It was.a question of manorial right— whether the plaintiff, as lord of the manor if Stoke Or chard, had a right to the waste and conimotiab!e land lying on the side of the road at Stoke Orchard green, in the parish of Bishops Clime. The value of the land was inconsiderable; it was the question of right which was in dispute. The plaintiff, Mr. Roger Cox well, resides at I)owdeswell, in this county, and was lord of the manor of Stoke Orchard. The defendant, Mr. Hulls, is the attorney of this city, and the other defendants are par ties who joined him in the act of trespass in respect of which the action was brought. According to the plain tiff's case it appeared that at the first court leet held by him as lord of the manor, on succeeding to the lordship from his brother, a presentation was made that a com mon pound was required, and he accordingly provided the timber for the purpose, and had the pound erected. This was in 1844, and the pound so remained until April, 1849, when the wayward of the manor received a notice from Mr. Hulls, calling upon him to remove the pound as anuisance. No notice was taken of this requisition, and on the 29th of May following the defendants pulled down the pound, and placed the timber on the highway.. The defendants claimed the land ,as being between their freehold and the pathway, but the lord of the manor claimed it as waste of the manor. It appeared from the plans put in that there were several cottages and gar dens lying by the side of this slip of land, which divided them from the road, and hence the owners of these cot tages and gardens, named Hatch and Hancock, claimed the land in question as part of their freehold. It was alleged by the plaintiff that in cases where inclosures had been made from this waste by cottegars living on its mar gin they had paid an ackaowlettnent to the lord. The case terminated in a verdict for the plaintiff, thus estab lishing the right of the lord of the manor to the land as waste. DOE DEM. BENNET V. HALE. This case, it will be remembered, was tried at the last spring assizes, when Mr. Newton took a brief from the defendant himself without the intervention of an attor ney, and the Learned Judge (Patteson) before whom the case was tried, refused to hear him for the defend ant. The verdict then being for the lessor of the plain tiff, Mr. Newton subsequently applied to the court above for a new trial, on the ' ground that the court here was bound to hear him, and the new trial was granted, and now came on for htaring. The action was un defended, the defendant having, as we understood, again eschewed the interference of an attorney, and of fered a brie f—;lrawn up by himself we presume—to Mr. Skinner, who declined it. A verdict was accordingly given a second time fur the lessor of the plaintiff. LORD SEYMOUR V. MORRELL. This was an. action brought by the Woods and Forests Commissioners to recover 1,2391. Is. 9d., for dead rent, alleged to be due in respect of curtain coalmines in Dean Forest, awarded to defendant and his late brother by the Commissioners, Messrs. Sopworth, Probyn, and Buddle. The question of fact in dispute was, whether the sum of 61. had been paid as " dead rent" in respect of two of the collieries. The main question to be tried substan tially was, whether in fact the Commissioners had not exceeded their powers under the Act of Parliament in fixing a " dead rent," and whether their powers were not confined merely to the fixing of tonnage duties on the coal actually raised, and could make any award with re terence to gale rent, independently of the working of coal, and the tonnage payable on the coal so raised. It appearing, in reply to observations by Lord Campbell, that the case was one of considerable importance in the Forest of Dean, and that it would continually go to a superior court, it was arranged that the matter should at once be referred to that court, as a special case. On the question of fact, after hearing evidence, his Lord ship decided that there was evidence of the appropria tion of two-thirds to the " dead rent " of the two col lieries; and the jury, by direction, found for the plaintiff with a special cue, subject to special verdict from the court above. Counsel for the plaintiff, Mr. Keating, Q.C., and Mr. Gordon;counsel for the defendant, Mr. Alexander, Q.C., and Mr. Phipson. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) The crown business is being rapidly disposed of, Lord Campbell having tried several cases this evening after finishing the cause list, and Mr. Greaves, Q.C., sitting in a third court up stairs. POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.— William White pleaded guilty to the charge of stealing letters from the Stroud post-office, and was sentenced to seven years' trans portation. ROBBERY or I,7ool.—Cornelius Rierdon was charged with stealing a 501. note and other property from Cap tain Shepton, R.N., at Tewesbury. Captain Shepton left home on the 24th June for Glou cester, and bad in his pocket a pocket-book containing notes and bills to the above amount. He lost his pocket book, and a 50/. rote was traced through Lloyd and Co.'s bank in London to the possession of a man named Pulham, who said he got it from Reirdon. The jury, however, Acquitted the prisoner. WESTERN CIRCUIT.— wells, Aug. 9. AnsoN.— Itichard Cove, a man 50 years of age, who pleaded guilty yesterday to a charge of arson, was called up for judgment. His Lordship ordered him to be trans ported for 10 years, and observed, in passing sentence, that this was the second instance on this circuit in which prisoners had confessed themselves guilty of the crime of arson, and had stated that they had been led to its commission in the hope of being transported. It was not usual for the ju4ge to (mull ibe wishes of Et. BOW-STREET. CHARGE OF HOCUSSING AND ROBBERY OF 3001— James Cotter was chargpd before Mr. Henry, on suspi cion of dru2ging Mr. Peter Thwaites, fruit-salesman of Covent garden-market, and stealing from his person 2001. in Bauk of England notes, two cheques, one for 70/., and the other for 301., and 17 sovereigns. On Friday afternoon, Mr. Thwaites entered the Mer cer's Arms public-house, Mercer-street, Long- acte, and then had in his possession a bag containing the above property. There were several persons drinking at the bar, and they forced themselves upon Mr. Thwaites, who drank with them, and afterwards tossed for bottles of wine. About seven o'clock in the evening Mr. Isaacs, Mr. Thwaites's partner, received information that Mr. Thwaites had been surrounded and robbed by a number of swell-mobsmen in the Mercer's Arms. He proceett. d to the public-house in company with their shopman, and found Mr. Thwaites lying in front of the bar, insensible, with his pockets turned insid e out, a nd a ll his money gone. Mr. Thwaites was now confined to bis bed, and was quite out of his mind. He was very much bruised about the face. Mr. Isaacs saw the two 1001. Bank of England notes in Mr. Thwaites' possession in the morning. Whe❑ he entered the Mercer's Arms in the evening the land lord said Mr. Thwaites came in drunk. Mr. Lucas, the landlord of the Mercer's Arms, said Mr. Thwaites entered his house about four o'clock in the afternoon. In his opinion he was quite sober. Mr. Lucas then underwent a long examination by the magis trate, who cautioned him as to his answers. Ho said there were four other men in front of the barwhen Mr. Thwaites entered. They had a bottle of wine, some gin, brandy, and pale ale, which Mr. Thwaites paid for out of a bag which he put in his pocket. Witness went into the back-yard, and, on his return, all the men bad left, with the exception of Mr. Thwaites, who appeared insensibly drunk. Ile did not think the prisoner was there at the time. A police-constable of the F division said he saw a crowd of persons coming from the direction of Mercer street,. and, from the inrormation he received from Mr. Isaacs, ho went to No. 11, Endell-street, and found the prisoner in the yard. He appeared as if ho had been running, and was perspiring very much. The prisoner had no business to be in that house, as he lived in Sh or t' s . gardens, which was next door to No. 11. He denied all knowledge of the robbery. The piisoner was remanded until Wednesday next. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. ROBBERY.— Thomas Broohman, house-porter to the Earl of Yarborough, No. 17, Arlington -street, was charged with having stolen 671. 14s. 6d., the property of his Lordship. William Foulkes, house-steward, said that on Wednes day week he gave the prisoner 67/. 14s. 6d. to pay the parish rates. The money ought to have been paid the next Saturday, but he failed to do it. On Wednesday the prisoner absconded, and did not return till Friday night. lie questioned him as to the cause of his absence, and required to know what he had done with the money. The prisoner said he had been to Brighton Races, and had lost the money, his pocket having been picked on the tau-course. That being the only account he would give, a constable was called, and he was given into custody. The prisoner, undefended, said he received the money to pay the rates, but unfortunately he met with a friend, who induced him to go to Brighton Races, where be was robbed. He had offered to replace the amount by instalments, but his offer had been refused. The prisoner was remanded till Friday next. ROBBERY OF VAUXHALL ADMISSIONS. — Thomas Greathurst was re-examined on suspicion of stealing a parcel of Vauxhall tickets from the premises of Mr. Nathan, masquerade warehouse, Castle-street, Leicester-square. Mr. Wardell, the proprietor of Vauxhall, proved that he sent a parcel of tickets to Mr. Nathan for the mas querade, on all of which he had made an erasure, to prevent them from passing as free tickets, as the pay tickets were not then ready. He stopped several of these tickets as they were presented by parties who had purchased them after they were stolen from Mr. Nathan.
