The Sun. — London, England, 1850-09-23 00:00:00

THE SUN, DENMARK. Angling Club mustered in considerable strength ou their range of pools during the day, but with no better success. In th evening the nets were got out, and casts were made in the various pools. Nine salmon and grilse and twenty-one fine trout were taken, and the finer fish were voted by 'acclamation in compli mentary presents to the president and other members of the club, who, though taking much interest in it, had not themselves fished the river, or whose success had not been great. After sweeping the river, the members assembled on the island, and beside a roar ing fire, with music, with refreshments, with dancing, and with fireworks, duly closed the season. Mr. D. A. Nicol is the king of the club this season, having captured the largest number of fish. The season, however, has been singularly bad. The gentlemen now assembling from all parts of the north for the great meeting of this week, report that the fishings everywhere have been very bad— the fish appear to have deserted the once favourite streams. General Krogh, the Danish Commander-in-Chief, has iasued the following order of the day to his army. It is dated the 13th : _ " The enemy yesterday made an attack on our left wing, between Missund: and Eckernforde, where a part of the 16t Brigade was stationed. Tneir force being superior, Colonel von Krabbe retired upon Missande,.where a sharp conflict took place, which lasted for two hours. The enemy retreated, but was followed and attacked by oar troops, who drove them back to their former position, and took 140 prisoners. Ia stating this for the information of the army, I thank Colonel Von Krabbe and the troops who fought so honourably under his command, for their good conduct and the courage they displayed during the conflict." GEKLIIAN Y. The Kolner Zeitung has a telegraphic dispatch, dated Cassel, Thursday, Sept. .19, stating that an ordinance had been p u bli s h e d- on t h at day, transferring the seat of Goverment to Wilhelmsbad. The cause of this is ascribed in the document to the opposition of the chief magistrates, and further measures are announced for the regulation of the Government. A caution is given against any further opposition, and all the requisite measures for the monarchical form of government are authorized. Mr. Legh, at Flowerlale, who is much attached to sea sports, has had some excellent sea-fishing in Gair loch in the evenings after returning from the moors, on which the grouse are scarce. On one evening lately he caught 96 flat fish, 18 cods and codlings, 24 haddocks, and 4 gurnets ; and on another evening 52 flat fish, 19 haddocks, 9 codlings, &c. A correspondent, who has charge of some of the best fishing rivers of the north, supplies the follow ing remark on the season now over : " The poorest season within remembrance is now closed ; and it would have been better for salmon fishers in general had they quietly paid their rents and given the whole rivers in Scotland (and I may say England and Ireland) a jubilee; fur the whole fisheries have been a loss of more than the rents of the season, and to have given them a jubilee would therefore have been a saving_ of so much to the tenants. We have heard various causes suggested for the scarcity of the salmon 'last season. Some attribute it to - the high or low state of the rivers —some to the number of seals and porpoises that have this season haunted the mouths of firths and estuaries ; even some supposed that from the low state of the rivers, and the difficulty the fish had in getting into them, that most of them were killed or injured by s , a-lice. We are aware that the size of rivers at various seasons has the effect of encouraging or discouraging salmon is their progress to the rivers, and that numbers of them are destroyed in firths and estuaries by seals and por poises, but it is as yet unproved whether or not the sea-lice give the salmon the least disturbance. At all events, the whole of these suggestions are nothing new. They are of yearly occurrence, either at one season or another ; and yet during all these inflic tions we have seen very good salmon seasons. But we have a memorable and a certain reason to give that accounts for the scarcity of the grilses in parti cular last season, and that is, the effects of the tre mendous floods in January, 1849. These floods hap pened just at the close of the spawning season, and before the spawning beds had settled into a solid state, and the result was, that almost all the spawn of that season was carried away, and scattered throughout the rivers, or thrown ashore on the dry land, to such a degree that we could not expect to have a good fishing this season. It is well known that the spawn of the winter 1848- 49 would have been the salmon fry in the rivers in summer 1849, and the snaolts and grilses of 1850 ; therefore, we must, conclule to a certainty, that these floods, and these alone, have been the ruin of the sal mon fishing in 1850. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette) RECRUITING FOR THE GRENADIER GUARDS.—III consequence of the regiment being nearly 100 under the strength, ten additional recruiting parties will ba sent out on the Ist of next month. PENINSULAR MEDAL.—The Board of General Of at Whitehall have now completed their la bours in respect to applicants claiming medals for their service in the Peninsula, and the several muster and prize rolls, Gazettes, &c., upon which the claims have been examined, have been returned to their re spective departments. THE Altair IN CANADA.—The - Government are desirous .that discharged soldiers should become settlers in the colonies, and about 200 men of regi ments stationed in Canada have quitted that service during the last month, and remain in that colony. This arrangement will materially assist the plan for forming a large body of pensioners into local com panies, under the command of staff officers, the men not being actually disabled but unfit for active service. NE W TROUSERS FOR THE IN FAN TRY.—MajOr General his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Commanding the Dublin district, accompanied by his staff, made an inspection of the 40th Regiment, at Great Ship -street Barracks, on Monday, to see the new pattern of grey trousers which were worn on the occasion. WATERLOO TROPHIES.—It was decided some time since to make an addition to the military trophies which have been deposited in the Royal Military College, Chelsea, by sending from Woolwich Arsenal some brass guns to be placed in the grounds of that establishment, which were captured from the French at the Battle of Waterloo. The carriages, &0., are not completed, and we understand the trophies will arrive at Chelsea Hospital in the course of the ensuing week. Captain Halkett, of the Grenadier Guards, has been appointed Senior Aide-de-Camp to Lieutenant- General Sir William Gosnm, K.C.8., Commander in-Chief in India. By this appointment a vacancy has taken place in the Adjutancy of the Ist battalion, which Csp:ain Halkett held. REWARD FOR LONG S ERITICE.—T WO or three Gazeites back, we announced the retirement of a major of the lino by the sale of his vitt - mission. The position of this officer, after thirty-five years' service, is a severe reflection on the miserable half-pay of the service. After paying highly fur his lisutenancy and his company, he reached the rank of major, where he stood fast, and now, in his retirement, gets more in the shape of interest for the price of his commis sion, invested in the foreign funds, than he received as. the half-pay of his rank ! MANNING TILE NAVY. —We regret to find that the Trafalgar, 120 ; Albion, 90 ; and Vengeance, 84 ; at Sheerness, Devonport, and Portsmouth, do not pick up their men as fast as we could wish. Seamen do not like these advanced commissioned ships ; the Albion. still wants about 70 blue jackets, and the Trafalgar, and Vengeance have not yet completed their meagre half or third com pl emen t s . MORTALIT Y ON BOARD HER MAJESTY'S SHIP TWEED AT Rlo.—We are informed that the mortality on board her Majesty's ship Tweed, 18, Commander Lord F. Russell, by official returns received at the Admiralty, was only 18 deaths, instead of 32, as pre viously stated. COMMANDER OF GREENWICH HOSPITAL.—We are enabled to state that the Admiralty have conferred the vacant appointment at Greenwich Hospital on Commander Thomas Colby (1814). Commander Colby is one of the Seniors, as he is one of the most distinguished Commanders on the List. He was at the battle of Camperdown ; in the Centurion, when she beat off' Linois's squadron ; was a Lieutenant in Calder's action; at the defence of Gaeta; at the forcing the Dardanelles and destruction of the Turk ish squadron ; in the Egyptian campaign of 1807 ; and was Senior Lieutenant of the Prince of Wales at the redaction of Genoa, in 1814. The Admiralty deserve credit for bestowing this appointment on an officer of such good service. DESTINATION OF HER MAJESTY'S STEAM FRIG ATE DRAGON.—This steam-frigate, Captain Giffard, is under orders at Spithead to proceed direct to Malta, and join Sir W. Parker's fleet, calling off Devonport en route. We believe she will not start for a day or two, in consequence of some domestic bereavement that the Captain has sustained. COME AT LAST.—Ber Maj esty's store ship Hercules, Master Commander Fulton, has at length made her appearance at Spithead ; she has been about a couple of months on the road from Malta. Three voyages a year to Malta and back seem to be the limits of her service. She is to come to the river to land her stores, &c. Moue ADMIRALTY ECONOMY.---It is well known that, in spite of all remonstrance, the Admiralty has persisted in bringing forward the Portland, 50, as the new flag-ship for the Pacific, or rather to relieve an 84-gun ship. Whether the authorities at Devonport have deceived their Lordships by representing her as more forward and requiring less expense than any other ship, in fitting for the Pacific Flag, we know not ; but already has there been upwards of 2,000/. of the public money squandered on her, and daily is there some frightful defect discovered. Oae day lest week her capstan was found unfit for use, and subsequently most of her kelson and the entire of her false keel were found completely rotten. These will all have to be removed and replaced at an enormous expenditure; and, after all, it will be found that she is completely unsuited for her work. We cannot help thinking that the Lords of the Admiralty see that they have been deceived with respect to the ship, and are too - much ashamed of themselves now to sub stitute another ship. AMUSEMENTS AND COURTESIES AT THE CAPE.— We extract the following from a private letter from the Cape :—" Cape Town is rendered a gay place by Lady Smith's entertainments; her Ladyship gives a ball every Friday evening. The officers of her Ma jesty's ship Pantaloon, with Lieutenant Crowder, of her Majesty's steamer Dee, gave a splendid ball the first week in July; it was a grand affair, end cost at least 2501." Tan AFFAIR OF THE CORMORANT WITII THE BRAZILIAN Fotte.--We are enabled to state that the conduct of Commander Schomberg, of the Cormorant steam-sloop, on the coast of Brazil, in capturing the four slavers, and avenging the insult to the British flag by demolishing the fort that fired at him, has been not only approved by the Admiral on the station and the Admiralty at home, but has been justified by the authorities at Mo. " Since the. spate on the 19th of August, the angling has been fair on the northern rivers. On Inver arid Kirkaig, one, two, and three salmon have fallen to the share of each rod per day. The famed Laxford has not done so well. Shin - has given fiur or five a day. Ephemera' was the most successful angler, having killed eight salmon and three grilse in one day. Brunt .has also afforded some sport. Dr. Bell proved king there, having killed live in one day ; but as th = spawning appears to be early this season, part of the fish killed lately have been very foul, and full of spawn." NOTES FROM THE FORBSTS.—Mr. Pryor, Strath. vaich, has lately shot a stag. Mr. Jones, Auchintou!, has sent in one head. A head has also been received from Coignafearn, the stag having been shot by 11. Elwes, Esq. From Novar a head has been sent in, the stag brought down by Sir George Palmer. Mr. Mackenzie has sent two stags and one hind's head, two stags and two hinds having been shot by a party of gentlemen at Ord. Another stag was shot on that occasion by Captain Baring, but he escaped just as the Captain was laying hold of him. Several other stags were seen in the woods besides those killed. Lord Malmesbury and Lord Edward Thynne, on the Bth, brought down each a fine stag, and Lord Edward has since killed a noble stag having nine points 2} feet long, and the same betwixt the antlers. Lord Canning killed a stag, a hind, and a roe, in one day._ At Achnacarry there has been little sport at grouse shooting, owing to disease among the birds and the late frosts in May, which carried off numbers. On the 6th Lord Malmesbury and Lord Eddisbury killed, on Anchnasaul hill, 22i brace of grouse and two snipes. Mr. tlarris, in Glenkiag, on' the same day, killed 6 brace and 8 snipes, and on the 10;11 9 brace of partridges, 3 ducks, 2 snipes, 9 ptarmigan, &c. LORD BROUGHAM. (Froth the Kendal Mercury.) On Monday afternoon, one of the richest scenes ever witnessed in the northern counties, took place about three o'clock, in the shape of a desperate struggle in the river Eamont, near St. Ninian's Church, and not far from the Giant's Caves, in the parishes of Brougham and Edenhall, between eight or ten members or friends of the Eamont - and Eden Angling Association, and about an equal number of netters, supposed to be in the employ of Lord Brougham. Here we must remark that the aforesaid angling association was formed about eighteen months ago. Its object is to prevent • the wholesale destruction of trout by illegal netting in the aforesaid rivers; it is supported principally by gentlemen resident in the neighbourhood—keen anglers—and watchers are regularly employed to carry out its objects. The society found little diffi culty in dealing with the poor fellows who were in the habit of making a living by netting; these, if unable to pay the fine, were unceremoniously handed over to the tender mercies'of the governor of Carlisle gas-A; but in the course of the last and present autumn, the so ciety began to fear that they would have to contend with another invader of their prerogatives—that invader no less a personage than Lord Brougham and Vaux, ex-Chancellor of England. If men employed by Lord Brougham, or who said they were employed by him, were allowed to fish for his Lord ship with an illegal net, then, of course, every other person—no matter how poor—had an equal right to do the same, provided he could secure the sanction of the landowners. Consequently the society' must either tackle Lord Brougham or become a nullity. The former course was resolved upon , and about nine o'clock on Monday morning eight or ten men belonging to the society, with two of Sir George Musgrave's gamekeepers, secreted themselves in some furze bushes, on the Cumberland side of the river Egmont, near the caves of Isis Perlis, which are remarkable for their distinctness of echo. Shortly after three rM. Lord Brougham's men, amongst whom was old John Robson, the Vulcan of Eamont bridge, proceeded down the other side of the river to have a draw ; and rfter them came two carriages, con taing Lord Mougharn, the Marquis of Douro, Mr. William Brougham, Lady Brougham, Lady Mallet, Mrs. William Brougham and children. The car riages drew up and his Lordship' and party de scended and took their stand on the bank of the river. The men then put in their net, and were just begin ning to draw, when the watchers, who had laid in ambush for upwards of six hours, ran down the Cumberland bark of the river. " What business have you here ?" said one of them, addressing the netters. " Fishing for Lord Broughamn—fishing for Lord Brougham," said old John Robson. The netters were then ordered to cease their unholy crafc, and quit the river immediately, a mandate which they entirely bdyisroengeardoerdt.he Twoaetchisetrrs j u g u g m le pin th g d om into " t ul h; water and s e i z i ng t h e cord which an insult whi c h o ld John re a. l a su b pporte the net, p by giving him a rattle under the ear. Another of the watchers then jumped in and seized the net; but old John , who had his wits about hry Promptly cut the o d, and the party on the Brougham (Westmoreland) cor d, kof the river were putting the net out as fast as possible, when Dick Jameson sprang over the heads of the other two watchers and seized A regular rush was than made into th e water—Jackson Mounsey making a splash like the launching of a vessel—and the spree caul _ menced. We shall here give John de Penrith's ver sion of the story ; and here we must remark that John always claims for himself the sole credit of ca pture; for being bsiliff every great and important of the waters,- be can bear no rival Hear him. Well, says John, "I went up to his Lordship, with the Act • ord, I of Parliament in my hand, and I said, my Lord, suppose because you are a Lord, you think that you have:a right to fish in these rivers ; but, my Lord, you are wrong; I will show you that the mesh of your net is illegal, and if you will study the Solway Act, as I have done, you will find that what I say is correct, and I would not like to lead your Lordship into an error." " What," said my Lard, "do you come here to lay down the law to me ? Get away you filth !" Such is John's story. In the mean time Dick Jameson had hold of the net in the middle of the river. Dick was a trump card ; for, although a stentorian voice from the opposite bank was sounded in savage accents, and in a tone of ferocious execration, "Pull d—n you, pull 1 the blackguards, the poachers, are going :with the Let ; pull, pull, pull ! D—n you, you scoundrel, at your peril, you touch that net. Pull, pull !" Still Dick held his , ~~..~ r IE FISHERY. MOUNT'S B.ll".—Tho Fortune seine has taken 200 bhds., and the Success, 200.

The Ness LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1850. =i LICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Jane Truman was again brought tp,chargz. , d with stealing two 1001. Bank of Eng!arid; notes, one 201. ditto, one 101. ditto, one 51. ditto, 71. 10s. in gold, and a cheque for 371., from the person of Mr. John Win penny, a woolleridtaper, lately residing at the C4stle and Falcon - , in rAldersgste-street. Thi3 case was remanded from Saturday week last, in order to obtain information with regard to the notes, no difficulty in that respect being anticipated, es the numbers of all the notes were known, and in- Lrmation forwarded to the Bank to stop payment of them when presented. Mr. Woniner, who attended on behalf of the pri soner, said that the prosecutor was not in attendance, and he believed that he had no intention of prosecut ing the case any further, considering the great doubt he felt with regard to the• prisoner's identity. He knew prosecutor was anxious to return to America, and that this affair had alone detained him. He would, therefore, apply for the prisoner's discharge, as in all probability the prosecutor was already on his way to the far West.. Sir G. CARROLL said the charge was too serious to allow him to discharge the prisoner until he had more satisfactory information regarding the prose cutor's intention of proceeding with the case. He would remand it till Thursday next, and if the pro secutor did not appear then, he would at once dis charge the prisoner. BOW-STREET. Antonio Moltini, the foreigner who was las Satur day charged with having in his possession a number of forged notes in imitation of the notes of the Vene tian Lombardy Bank of the Austrian empire, was brought before Mr. Henry for re-examination. The prisoner is a native of Como, and has been employed in this country for some time as a glass and china dealer. Mr. Bush, solicitor to the Bankers' Protection Society, conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Ballan tine, assistel by Mr. Humphries, appeared for the prisoner. Vincent Bsyerd and Rodolph de Felsenthal, the Commissioners of Police from Vienna, who gave evi dence at the former examination respecting the value of the notes, were present to watch the case. Mr. Lawrence Lee, who is in partnership with his father as an ornamental lithographic printer, and carries on buiiness at No. 245, High Holborn, proved that on Monday, the 2d inst., the prisoner en tered his shop and inquired the expense of engraving 3,000 tickets similar to the one he produced. Wit ness informed him they would cost about 2/. 15s. The ticket was printed in Italian, and witness -did not understand the purport of it. Oa looking closely and observing a water-mark, he inquired whether the prisoner desired to- have that imitated; to which the lattei replied, " Yes, as near as pos sible to the copy." IVitness then informed him that the watermark would cause an increase of 10s. in the expense, and the prisoner assented to pay the extra charge, as' he desired to have the engraving well exe cuted. His next inquiry was as to the price of two steel dies for the stamps at the corners of the tickets, but witness could give him no estimate, and requested him to call again on the following day. Mr. HENRY having here inquired the purport of the words on the tickets, one of which the witness pro duced, was informed by Mr. Bush that the translation was as follows : " April 1, 1849. " Lomhard•Venetian Kingdom. Note sof the Treasure, Austrian Lire Five. "The present note of five lire shall be :,•ccepted in payment as hard coin at the central offices, at all the public offices, and at all the public offices of the Lom bard-Venetian Kingdom. " The Imperial Commissary Plenipotentiary, " MON TEC ITOLI." Mr. Bush added that each lire was worth about 33. 41. English. Ttie examination of Mr. Lee was then proceeded with. He stated that he requested a deposit from the prisoner, who promised to call and bring one the next day. Witness was informed by the prisoner that the tickets were used on the continent by the labourers to obtain provisions before receiving their wages; and that then they paid them back to their employers. In fact the process he described was si milar to the truck system in this country. The pri soner called . on the following morning and left a sovereign as a deposit, requesting witness to proceed with the work as quickly as possible. Witness then told him he could not make the dies for less than one sovereign each, upon which the prisoner said he would try to get them cheaper elsewhere, and wit ness gave him the address of several diesinkers who, he thought, would be able to make them at less ex pense than he could get them done. The prisoner then left, but called several times afterwards td see how the work proceeded, and in the mean time witness had communicated (through his father) with a foreigner, who translated the ticket for him. At length a nearly perfect proof was shown to prisoner, who expressed himself well satisfied, and then produced a note for the sum of 60 lire, which he desired to have imitated, and to have 1,000 copies struck off immediately. Witness consented to do these for 51. 103. On the 10th inst. the prisoner called and ordered 3,000 o f th e first tickets to be struck off immediately, as he con sidered the proof shown him was quite perfect. He paid a deposit upon the second job, and examined an imperfect proof of the plate for the same, in which he ordered some few alterations, and promised to call for the 3,000 impressions of the first job on the following Friday. He did not come, however, u n til S a t ur d a y, when witness (in the presence o f J o h n F orrester, t h e officer, who was in private clothes, and with whom he and his father had been in communication all along) handed the notes to him, and received the sum agreed to be paid for them, and gave the prisoner an acknowledgment - for the same. Witness was in the act of showing the prisoner a proof of the second job when Forrester took him into custody on the charge. John Forrester, the Mansion-house officer, repeated his former evidence - as to apprehending the prisoner, and proved having found a bundle of papers at his lodgings at the George public-house, Brook-street. Mr. HENRY reminded Mr. Bush that the evidence of some persons in the Austrian service would be ne cessary to show that the tickets were fee .similes of the Austrian notes of a like value at present in cir culation in that country. The evidence of the Com missioners of Police he did not consider was sufficient for that purpose. Mr. Ballantine said the question would ultimately be, whether the prisoner acted with a guilty know ledge, or whether he was, in fact, only the agent of another. He (Mr. Ballantin e ) f e lt b oun d , f rom t h e instructions he had received, to state, that the pri soner's defence was, that he had no guilty knowledge a i s t a w ct o i u be unwise at present to acting g ld as agent for another, whose name,whatever, o f zlcourse, and w divulge. Mr. Bush intimated that he was in communicati o n with the Austrian authorities, and he trusted at the end of another week to be in a position to satisfy the Court upon the point hinted at by Mr. Henry. The prisoner was accordingly remanded for an other week; and the witnesses who have already been examined were bound over to prosecute. CLERKENWELL. Threees Sophia ho gave the names Mary Ann Wi c k s , an d S o phia Burton, were put at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt well-dEremsmseed Emmett„tt rung warner ,. charged with robbing Mr. John Smith, a naval officer, of 18 sovereigns and some other money, whilst he was under the influence of some deleterious matter administered to him when in their company. The prosecutor said that between ten and eleven o'clock at night he met the prisonerS in Goswell street, and being asked by them to "stand treat," he accompanied them to .a public-house called the Maidenhead, and gave each a glass of gin and some pork pie. He afterwards went with them to another tavern, the Golden Lion, where they were supplied with a pot of ale only, and after partaking cf one glass he became so very ill that he was incapable of waking any exertion, and in a, helpless and almost unconscious state they pulled him outside the house, and took him under a gateway adjoining, and there he was pushed, or fell down when utterly insensible. He revived some few ho . urs afterwards, and found himself in a most wretched state, with his pockets in side out, and deprived of his cash as stated. By Mr. Comas--lie could not tell how they got him down. Was not in the company of the prisoners half-an-hour. Had not been drinking. Saw his cash safe five minutes before he lost his reason. When he was led from the publid-house he was right to a cer tain extent, but too helpless to resist. Was satisfied that something of a narcotic nature was administered to him. There was a fourth woman in their company. John Reeve, 424, A division, said he received in. formation of the robbery, and first apprehended Bur ton. She skid, when told what she was wanted for,. " Don't make me suffer for all, for I only had a part , of it, and am not the worst." On telling her that the others would be taken, she observed, "Oh, very well ; let us all share fate alike." After locking her up be took Wicks into custody at her house, No. 25, Baltic street, St. Luke's. The moment he had made known his errand she began Crying, and asserted that all she had of the s e tolen money was 2s , adding that " Jenny" (a woman well known to the police), who was the worst, was .out of the w ay. In company of Haw kins, 191 G, witness subsequently sought after and secured Elliott, who, being informed that the.other prisoners were locked up, expressed her satisfaction, hoping that all would suffer alike, and trusted that " Squinting Jen n y," a who was with them, and had bsconded, would b e ta k en. Mrs. Elizabeth Isaacs, wife of Charles Isaacs, of 21, Attfield-street, St. Luke's, saw the prisoners and the woman at present at large lead the prosecutor from the Golden Lion to the archway. She knew the women well, and listened at the entrance, when she distinctly heard Burton exclaim, " Come along, I've got it, and the three prisoners and " Jenny" then I ran away, leaving the prosecutor behind. She did not grasp, and shouted to his companions, " Come on, come on ; never mind that old fool. Take hold of the' net; we must hAve it. Thld fast. Get hold of the rape ! D—n you Robson, keep of► with that knife; we want no ripping here." At this juncture in splashed a number more of the watchers, and John de Penrith, brushing into the deepest of the fray, waved a cudgel, the insignia of his oill3e, and shouted, while the stones were flying like hail, " Seize, man, seize ! Cut and seize under the Solway Act !" and John, suiting the action to the word, got hold of the net, and shouted " A knife, a knife !" In the meantime Jackson Mounsey and old John Robson were struggling in the turbid river like two ferocious alligators. Now Jackson downed his anta gonist, and'anon he rose again like a game old cock ; then again a splash was heard like the falling of Round Do wn Cliff, as poor old John was tumbled over Jackson's buttock into the lamb; and the ladies on the shore, in accents almost inaudible, sighed "Poor old man— oh dear, oh dear !" and the tender hearts of the chil dren yearned, and they clung to their parents with tears in their eyes, crying, " Poor old John, is be dead, papa ? Mamma, is old John drowned ? We shall g 4 no more fish, shall we, mamma ? Oh dear, are these men savages ?" Then a sound like thunder again awaked the voice of echo in the Caves of Isis Perlis, and that voice cried, as in a paroxysm of fury, "D—n you, you great black elephant, you are a d—d coward ; let the old man get up !" and John de Penrith stuck to the net, shouting " Knives, gentlemen! Cut and seize ! Slash away the net, under the Solway Act!" and the voice of echo was supposed to whisper from the den of Isis Perlis, " D—n it, Brougham, lets go in. No, no, Douro, that won't do." At this moment in sprang two or three more of the watchers with knives in their hands. The net was immediately cut, and about eight yards of it carried to the Cumberland side of the water; and the man who held it lifted his hands; swang it and shouted, "This will be a lesson for the great cosmo polite. But old John Robson followed the captured portion of the net to the opposite shore ; and when he found that a recapture was impossible, he threw up his hat, and challenged the best man amongst them to single combat. " Bravo," reverberated the caves of. Isis Purlis ; and here, for the present, the curtain drops. THE ELECTOR OF HESSE. Imagine a portly, square-built man, on the other side of 40, with regular features, a sinister counte nance, and a bearing which completely accords with his usual dress—a general's uniform—and you have the Elector before you. The moral aspect of this man it is difficult to present, for his actions are along succession of contradictions, which are only referable to two common categories—boundless egotism, and an equally unlimited contempt of his fellow-men. He believes in no truth or honesty under the sun. In his subjects he sees so many presumptuous subjects, whom he must make feel his power upon every opportunity, in order to hold them in check. He hates the democrats, since they will not admit that such a sovereign as he can realty rule by the " grace of God; " he hates the constitutionalists because they would limit his princely prerogative; he hates the orthodox in church and state, because he regards the former as hypocrites, and the latter require payment for their servile patriotism. Formerly the military life was his hobby, and still he finds his highest grati fication in the pomp of the parade ground ; but, since he has convinced himself that whenever the alternative is presented to the army to overturn either him or the constitution, the soldiers will declare to the last man for the constitution, he has mistrusted li!s troops, and lost no opportunity of showing his hatred to the officers who do not understand that their commissions pledge them to become the blind instruments of his arbitrary power. Ills most venerable example is the Emperor Nicholas, who banished to Siberia a cavalry officer whose spur fell off on parade. Thinks to Providence, the sphere of the Elector's power is very circumscribed, but within it he omits no opportunity of acting out a despotic nature. Take an example:—Colonel von B—, an officer universally respected, had erected an elegant summer residence near to one of the gates of Cassel, and was accustomed to spend an hour or two each day in his flower-garden. Oae day he was carefully watering a bed of favourite plants, when he was surprised by the Elector, who was riding out for an airing. The latter reined up his horse, and called the Colonel. " What do I see, Sir ; does such an em ployment become an officer of the staff ? A watering can, indeed ! You would do well, Sir, to hold your uniform in more honour for the future." Thus stuttered - his most gracious Mejesty, with a voice anything but agreeable ; and eight days afterwards Colonel von B. was removed far from his house and flowers, with one consolation, however, that he was also far from his petty oppressor. Similar was the case of another officer high in the civil ser v i ce , w h o h a d j us t b u il t a house, and when about to move into it, was ordered to leave Cassel, for no other reason than that it was known he had counted much upon enjoying his in tended new residence. Since these occurrences it has become a bye-word among the officers of bath services, "If you would be removed from Cassel, build a house, and furnish it comfortably." Several officers have removed from Cassel, because they were too intimate with some of the liberals there ; others, however, for a very different reason— for the sacrifices they had made for their sovereign in trying moments ; for it is one of the characteristics of the Elector that he holds it to be degrading to acknow ledge a debt of gratitude to any one. As he will be influenced by no one, he will entrust to no man his confidence. Even those officials who are haaerding life and honour in his service stand not an inch nearer to his heart than the rest of the world. It would, for example, be a mistake to imagine that such persons as Hassenpflug and his associates are trusted by the Prince. He upholds them because they are his most ready instruments, and are willing to do anything for a consideration. He knows well enough that Hassenpflug's patriotism and fidelity do not transcend the value of the salary he draws ; he knows that that man would be the first to betray him :in the hour of extremity ; but he finds a charm in dealing with men whose virtue nothing can revolt. 114 treats Hassenpfiug with the same superciliousness which the latter exhibits to those be neath him; but the more dislike the people manifest towards the minister, the more does his master de light to heap outward honours upon him.—Cologne Gazette.

Mr. Trßwriirr inquired if any money belonging to the prosecutor had been recovered. Constable Keene answered in the negative, giving it as his opinion that the bulk of it was with " Squint- T:nny. The magistrate congratulated 'the prosecutor on his lucky cscape with his life, and desired the officers to look after the other woman. THAMES. Henry George Rushbrook, a well-dressed, intelli gent lad, about fifteen years of age, apprenticed to Mr. Edward E. Child, p awn b ro k er , os: 216 and 217, High•street, Shadwell, was charged before Mr. Ingham with robbing his master. It appeared in evidence that for some time past money had been frequently missed from the tills in the prosecutor's shops, and two valuable watches and other valuable property had disappeared. A strict look-out had in consequence been kept, and on Mon day Mr. Child adopted the precaution of marking a quantity of silver, and .put'sorne in the tills every day. On Friday afternoon, Mr. Golding (Mr. Child's foreman) put marked silver to the amount of 3/. 3s. in one till, and to the amount of 1/. 17s. in the other shop, and whi!e he was at his tea, the prisoner, who was generally employed in the warehouse up-stairs, was left in care of the shop. When Mr. Golding re turned to the shop he missed a marked half-crown out of the till in the pawn-shop, and immediately sent for Potter 212 K, and on his arrival the prisoner was told that a half-crown was missing from the till, and he was asked if he had any money about him. He de manded why he was suspected more than the other boy, and declared he had only a few halfpence, which he took from his pocket. While doing so, he was in the act of raising his left hand towards a shelf, when Potter seized it. and said, " What have you got there ?" and at the same moment found it to be the marked half-crown, which was identified by Mr. Golding. The prisoner afterwards admitted to Potter that he had taken the half-crown, but denied having stolen the two watches. Mr. INGHAM said be had no doubt the prisoner had robbed his master to a great extent, and fully com mitted him for trial. CRIMINAL COURT SENTENCES.

ALARMING ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. BRISTOL, SATURDAY. —This morning, at twenty minutes to five o'clock, the mail train, which was then over due nearly four hours, arrived in this city, bringing intelligence of . an alarming accident which had occurred the previous evening to a cheap excur sion train near Wootton-Bassett station. The acci dent was of a most extraordinary, and, as the affair at present stands, ofa somewhat suspicious character. The policeman on duty at the station at the time has been given into custody, and a thorough investiga tion will be made by the officers of the company into the matter. A number of persons were more or less injured ; but, miraculous as it will appear when the details of this distressing accident come to be read, fortunately no lives were lost. The news soon spread throughout the city, and the doors of the station were oompletely besieged by anxious inquirers after rela tives and friends. The following particulars, which have been obtained partly from official sources and partly from personal inquiry, may be relied on as authentic : It appears that one of the cheap excursion trains which have latterly become so popular on the Great Western and'other lines was announced to leave this city on Friday morning for Paddington and back. It was completely thronged with parties from the. West of England anxious to avail themseif of such a fa vourable opportunity of visiting the metropolis at a cheap rate. So great was the throng, indeed, that for the convenience of dispatch the excursion party ,was divided into two separate trains, one leaving the Bath and the other the Bristol station. Similar arrangements were intended by the officers •of the company to have been made for the return journey in the evening; but, as is usually the case, most of the passengers, anxious to see as much as they possibly could of the-lions of the metropolis, delayed their arri val again at the Paddington station till almost the last minute allowed them, so that .when the time ap proached for leaving, such was the rapidity and the promiscuous nature of - the arrivals of the passengers that it was found absolutely, impossible to separate the Bristol from the Bath excursion train, and it was ac; cordingly resolved to send on two mingled. trains. The first of these return trains accomplished its pas saga with great punctuality, arriving at the Bristol station shortly before twelve o'clock last (Friday) night. It was stated by the passengers that when they left Swindon the other excursion train was just signalled as being in sight, and it seems it also arrived as far as Swindon in safety. It left Swindon at a quarter past eleven o'clock, and just after passing:the Wootton-Bassett station, at the junction of the siding with the down line, the passengers felt a tremendous concussion, and immediately there was an awful crash ; it seems that the train had come into collision with a horse-box, which somehow or other in the short space of a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes which had elapsed since the passing of . the first ex cursion train, had been placed on the line. The en gine and the first four carriages were precipitated down the embankment into a field of mangold wurtz.)l. The first carriage was turned on its side, so that there were no means of escape, but although the top of it had to be removed by forcibly breaking it in with a sledge-hammer before the inmates could be rescued from their perilous position, none of them sustained any injuries that were of 'a serious or dan gerous character. .The engineer and stoker were flung violently to the ground, but apparently without much injury, as they shortly afterwards busied them selves in endeavouring to assist the passengers. Mr. Burton, the superintendent of the company's police at the Bristol station, happened to be in one of the first-class carriages, the inmates of which were precipitated over one another. As soon as he managed to extricate himself he WAS most unremitting in his exertions. The scene is described as having been for some time one of the utmost consternation and con fusion; the screams of the female passengers were heartrending; two persons had their collar-bones dis located, the heads and faces of several others were cut and brui:ed, and some had their arms and legs in-. ' jured. A. lady named Lewis, wife of the high-bailiff s of Bath, was considered to be.most seriously and dan gerously injured, suffering from concussion. Dr. W. Bird Ilerapeth, ef this city, received injuries about the head and face. Mr. Richard Smith, also of this city, had his knEe cut open, and there were many minor injuries inflicted: Fortunately the coupling chain of the fourth carriage broke, otherwise the whole of the remaining carriages, would in all proba bility have been precipitated over the embankment, and the consequences have been serious in the ex treme. Restoratives were immediately procured from Woottoa-Bassett, and D. Herapath, with other medical gentlemen, rendered valuable assistance: The mail train reached Wootton-Bassett at a quarter-past 12 o'clock, and fortunately Mr. Brunel was one of the passengers, and he, with the Rev. 11. L. Walters, of Aust arsonage; General Jervoise, and other gentlemen, assisted in aiding the sufferers. As the down line was disarranged, the mail train could not proceed; and was detained up watds of three hours. Some of the carriages belong ing to the excursion train which were uninjured Were then attached to it, and the train proceeded, a bed having been procured for the accommodation of Mrs. Lewis, of Bath. The accident had broken up a por tion of the down rails; and the train accordingly had to run over a portion of the up-line. It arrived' iri Bristol in safety at twenty minutes to five o'clock. The other passengers wete brought-on by the engine belonging to the up-goods train, and arrived in safety soon after the mail train. The cause of this alarming accident is`at present .enveloped in mystery, and various have been the con jectures hazarded as to how the horse-box got on the line. Originally it was supposed that the coupling chain of the last carriage of the preceding train having by some mischance got broken, it must have been left on the line. This, however, subsequent inquiries have shown to be incorrect, as no horse-box was attached to the preceding train, and if it had been the last carriage cn the train, there would have been a red light attached to it, which' in all probability would' have prevented the aecident. This is fur ther shown from its position, as in such a case it would have been on the rails up and down the line, and not partially across it as the horse box which caused the accident is described to have been. Mr. Brunel states that be heard it asserted at Wootton-Basset station that the horse-box . had been purposely placed on the rail. Inquiries were imme diately made, and the result was that the policeman who was on duty at the spot was given into custody. For the more complete elucidation of the circum stances of the case, we may mention that near the Woottcn-Bassett station there is a bridge with a sig nal post, on the other side of the station is the siding, and about 150 or 200 yards from the station a foot path crosses the line and the siding, at which there is another signal post. The whole distance from the bridge to the point of junction of the siding with the down rails is somewhat less than a quarter of a mile. and is under the surveillance of the policeman on duty. It is affirmed that in this siding, during the whole of Friday, there was a luggage van and a horse-box— the identical one which caused the accident. They were a short distance from the footpath and near to the junction of the siding when the collision occurred ; and as about twenty minutes elapsed between the passage of the first and the second excursion train, it was quite practicable, had any evil-disposed person been wicked enough to do so, to have wheeled it-up the l siding on to the main line ; but if so, it is hard to explain how it could be done without the policeman's witnessing it, more especially as the night was a bright mooa light one. Some persons have supposed that as there were some severe gusts of wind, the horse-box might have been blown from the siding on to the line. The porter, however, in self-defence, • alleges positively that in the marning he " scotched" (placed wedges under) all the wheels of both the horse-box and the luggage-van. The line at this spot, too, lies due east and west, whilst the direction of the wind was south east, or obliquely across the line, nor can the police man state that the wedges had been removed from the wheels. The most searching investigation is required into this affair, as the escape from a f r i g htf u l l oss o f life seems to have been almost mira cu l ous , an d it i s certainly most unaccountable how the horse-box got on the line. SUNDAY EVENING. It is with much pleasure we can state that Mrs. Lawis has been pronounced out of danger, and all the injured persons are progressing as favourably as can be expected. Another cheap excursion train left this city for Paddington yesterday, and three days are allowed in London. ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT TO MURDER. We doubt whether the :annals of critne' present a case more atrocious, more ingeniously :planned and coolly executed, than a robbery and attempt at murder perpetrated in Aldersgate-street on Friday afternoon. For a considerible time a gentleman ' named Cureton, has lodged in th e h ouse o f Mr. Wilson. a tailor, 81, Aldersgate-street. . Cureton is connected with the British Museum, and buys coins and medals for that establishment. He has been in the habit of keeping a quantity of easily-conver tible property at his lodgings, and 'this fact appears from the event to have become known to some of the higher class of London thieves. On Friday after noon three men, dressed in the first rate style, en tered Mr. Wilson's shop, and inquired for Mr. Cure ton. Mr. Wilson - admitted them, and directed them to the second floor. In about a quarter of an hour afterwards they came down stairs, without showing the least sign of hurry, and loft the house. Shortly after their departure Mrs. Wilson had occasion to go up to Mr. Cureton's rooms, and she found him lying on the floor, insen sible, his face black, and blood running from a wound in his forehead. She thought he had fallen in an apo plectic fit, and senti at once for a surgeon. It was many hours before Mr. Cureton was restored to con sciousness, and, as soon as his strength p erm itt e d, h e gave the following account of the attack made upon him :—The three supposed gentlemen pretended that they had called to inquire whether he had a crown of William and Mary. He replied in the affirmative, and asked them to be seated. As he was in the act of handing a chair to one of the men, the other two got behind him and quickly placed some instrument round his neck, which squeezed him like a vice. Almost at the same moment ono of them struck him a blow over the right eye, and he remembered nothing more. Mr. Cureton saw the movement of the instrument towards his neck, and attempted to throw a small box at the window, hoping in that way to give an alarm. The thieves probably thought they had murdered Mr. Cureton. They removed the instrument from his neck, and carried off coins and medals valued at 3001. The surgeon who was called in is of opinion that if Mrs. Wilson had not providentially gone up to Mr. Cureton so soon, he would have died, as re-action had just commenced. Upon making inquiries at the residence of Mr. Careton, last night, we learned that he was much better, and more collected than he was on Saturday morning. He is now able to give a more clear account of the manner in which he was treated, and the amount of property taken away by the thieves. He states that two or three men appeared deeply engaged together, and after minutely examining the coin which-they had inquired about, they desired to be shown a half-crown of the same reign. At that moment Mr. Cureton noticed that one of the men did not enter beyond the step of the door. There is now no doubt that that party was watching to see whether any one came up or went down the stairs. Mr. Cureton, thinking that probably he was a friend of the others, and not interested in the purchase o" antiquities, asked him to be seated, and at the same time he turned round to hand him the chair he had been sitting on a few minutes previously.. The instrument was at that juncture passed round his neck. It was formed by lashing two life-preservers together. The property taken away was deposited -in sundry cabi nets, and consisted of crown and half . ..crown pieces of Oliver Crom well, King Alfred, and numerous Anglo- Saxon coins, as well as a diamond pia, .a silver capped and jewelled watch, and a box of cigars. A reward of 501. was yesterday (Sunday) offered for the apprehension of the villains. Should the parties offer the coins for sale there is.no doubt that they will be .apprehended ; and although the property is worth from 300/. to 4001. to Mr. Cureton, yet, should , it be transferred to the melting pot, it will probably not realise as many shillings for old silver. The police, up to last night, had been unable to obtain any tidings of the guilty parties. ty MARKETS.
