- 40i likrU THE GREAT EXHIBITION• (THIS DAY.) A brilliant sunshiny day, resembling more the open ing of September than the approaching fall of October, has afforded the holiday folk another opportunity of seeing the lions of the metropolis to the greatest possible advantage. St. Paul's, Westminster Abbey, the British Maseum, the National Gallery, and the numerous other sights with which London abounds, have been crowded with visitors, while the gay appearance of tho streets would almost induce a stranger to believe that the day had been set apart for the celebration of a festival, or made the occasion for some univergal rejoicing. People as they roll lwestward like a waving current seem to ba bent on nothing but pleasure, as no doubt the ma jority of them are, and no matter what locality you dred upon in the neighbourhood of the parks, you were certain to encounter multidudes of merrymakers heavily ladein with refreshment baskets. The numbers ad mitted into the Exhibition fall very little short of yes terday's return. They are as follow: At 10 o'clock 20,627 At 11 o'clock 48,141 At 12 o'clock 71,279 At 1 o'clock 87,431 At 2 o'clock 97,756 At 3 o'clock ~. 105,709 At 4 o'clock 108,776 Probably the attractions of Hampton Court, Sion House, and such like suburban places, have assisted in drawing off many of our foreign and country visitors. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.— By the Niagara we have adviees of a further decline of c. in the price of cotton at New York, with accounts of a dull state of things in the southern markets, owing to increased receipts at the ports, and rather unfavourable reports from this side the Atlantic. In this market the subsi dence of prices from those nominal quotations for yarns which were the result of the late active de mand, hae proceeded somewhat further to-day, or, at least, has become somewhat more decided than it was last week. This, however, does not apply to 24's and 28's warps, and not in any marked degree to water twist in the bundle, or to 40's mule. But the decline from the late highest rates for the general run of current numbers, is not more than : id. to yd. per lb. ; the larger fraction being found chiefly in the lower counts of warps. These modified terms have induced some of the buyers, whose previous contracts had come to an end, or we:re on the point of doing so, to give out fresh orders, though in a most cautious manner, and only to a limited extent. The transactions of the d a y have been chiefl y for h ome consumption. The German bu:vers find nothing to stimulate them in the letters from Leipsic, where the business of the fair is proceeding but languidly. The Indian houses ar e t a ki ng scarce l y a ny yarns. In goods, the sales have been altogether inconsiderable, and the bias of prices, for the most pa rt, a g ainst pro ducers, though on ly s lightly so. Am on g st the steadiest articles are 36-inch 72 reeds. The India and China buyers continue quite out of the market, and the consequence is a further depreciation in the value of shirtings, madapollams, and other fabrics particularly adapted for the eastern trade. That this should be the case is not at all surprising, when, along with a consideration of the fall of prices on the other side, the enormous shipments, as shown in the subjoined table, are taken into account. It was ex pected that the exports in September would exhibit a falling off; such, however, is not the case. RocianaLE, MONDAY.—We have had about an average market to-day, both as regards prices and the amount of business transacted. There is little change in the wool market, except that the dealers do not press sales so eagerly_ at former pri ces . MACCLESFIELD, TIIESDAY.—Our market for manu factured goods continues fairly active, and prices are generally well maintained. This satisfactory state of things is, no doubt, mainly attributable to the fact, that stocks of goods in the hands of makers have been unusually small this autumn, and for the present continue so, the demand being pretty nearly equal to the production. The thrown silk market is extremely quiet, and the inducements held out by holders to consumers, having been almost without result in the shape of business, have had the effect of further cur tailing the hours of labour in the mills. The raw silk market is equally quiet; prices, however, are without material alteration, and seem likely to remain so, stocks in the hands of consumers being known to be small. HALIFAX, SATURDAY. —There were not many buyers in our piece hall to-day, and the principal sales were in fancy goods, of low quality. A few set's were also inquired for. The yarn market is fully as much depressed ; and, as the prices are wholly unrenaunerative, the spinners are greatly curtailing production. There is no change to be noted in wool, which Boss off slowly, without any alteration in the quotations. - HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—Our market to-day has passed otf much the same as last, without any de died improvement. The home and export trade are both quiet for the season, though more has been done in the warehouses during the week. We have every reason to expect, from appearances at present, a good trade being done during the winter season. In the wool market more has been done to-day than for some time past, at nearly the acme prices as last. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—On Saturday last we had an active market in the cloth halls, and a fair quantity of ends were diiposed of ; but to-day the market has been dull and languid. Prices very firm, and stocks not large for the season. THE PROGRESS OF RAILWAY COMMUNICATION IN EUROPE. The Paris Constitutionnel publishes the following account of the tour of M. Atigne, the Minister of Public Works of the French Republic, undertaken for the purpose of examining the state cf railway com munications throughout Europe :-- "The Minister of Public Works has just resumed his functions, after his tour through various parts of Europe, to examine the state of railway communica tions. M. Magne made an interesting excursion. Accompanied by M. Chatelus, chi4f of the railway division in the department of Public Works, he visited Belgium, Germany, Austria, and Italy, stopping at Berlin, Vienna, Trieste, Rome, Genoa, and Turin. The foreign Governments gave him everywhere a most cordial reception, afforded him every fa cility for his investigations, and the Ministers of Public Works of Prussia, the Roman States, and Piedmont were polite enough to accompany him themselves in some of his investigations. What the Hon. Minister hes, above all, been able to con vince himself of, aad what he will no doubt detail to the Assembly, is the persevering- efforts of eur neigh bours to place the ports of Ostend, Antwerp, Ham • burgh, and Stettin in communication with the southern states of G-t2rm.my, in order to unite all Italy with the Austrian provinces, and to draw to Trieste aid Genoa the transit between England end India. Whilst we are discussing and delaying, others turn time to account, and obtain an advance on us. Foreign railways p are at our very doors, and we still deliberate. What, for instance, did the Hon. Minister see in Germans? Railways crossing each other in every direction, from the North Sea and the Baltic to the Adriatic ; from Hamburgh and Cologne to Trieste ; from lioningsb• rg to the Lake of Con stance, Switzerland and Italy. He can say that he saw seven and thirty sovereignties, independent of each other, acting in accord for the construction of a complete railway system; whilst we, with that cen tralisation of which we are so proud, have not yet been able to agree on the execution of the most im portant line in our territory. It is matter of no toriety that, for a great part of Germany and for the circles of Prussia and of Bavaillba, the shortest dis tance from the sea coast is the right line drawm from Havre, through Rouen, Paris, Metz, and Strasburg. It i 8 the natural commercial course for central Europe. The Antwerp to Cologne line now dispute that transit with us. The recent opening of the line which unites Hamburgh and Stettin ev . ith the centre of Bavaria, and soon with the lake ofCon stance, has produced a competition which not less menaces our relations. Fortunately, the Strasburg line is one of the most advanced of our number, and the work s are being urged on mos t energetically. Three sections of that line were opened during the past year ; the line will be open to Commercy in November ; the branch line of Metz will soon reach Forbach, and touch the Prussian frontier, and the port of Havre will be united to our frontiers of Alsace and Loraine in the first month of 1852, so that in that di rection we shall arr i ve in time to preserve a transit which belongs to us i n virtue o fgeographical posi tion. But it is the communications between England and the Mediterranean and India which spoke are most energeti cally disputed to us. W e h ave often t . he efforts made by the Austria n Government t o un? °1 the Trieste port of g a t i nt n i c A l r TriTriesteto the German ra il ways, and the which it has undertak en t o cross the Jgua the passage of the Summering. AI. Magee and at Chatelus visited all these works, sometimes on foot, sometimes in a carriage, and were present at several of the trials betweE n the locomotives of which an ac count has been published. If we are well informed, the Hon. Minister was above all things struck with the immensity of the works at the passage of the Sommering. Thirteen tunnels and twenty-five via ducts, amongst which is that of Kaltenrinne of two stories, so metres in height, and 222 metres in length, can give an idea of those great works. The tunnels are terminated, and the works of art are ad vancing rapidly. Not less than 13,000 workmen and 2,000 horses are employed in the work-yards, and the engineers are in hopes of terminating the works at the beginning of 1853. The Austrian Government is now having the definitive survey made for the part of the line between Laybach and Trieste, and is neg lecting nothing to promptly fill up this unfinished portion. We hope that when M. Magne explains all this in the tribune, the Assembly will see the necessity of at last coming to some decision rela tive to the Lyons and Avignon lines. How can we consent to any new delays when Austria is making such immense efforts to terminate the rival line of Trieste ? Already the Assembly has departed from the system of adjournment by deciding that Bills for the resumption of the works should be placed on the order of the day. The becoming discussion must end in some useful result, if France is not to lose the transit from the East and India. The Minister also found Italy much occupied with the construction of railways. Austria is busied about the execution of the line from Venice to Milan. A bridge of 222 arches, three kilometres (nearly two English miles) in length, cast over the lagoons, joins Venice to the main land, and the line is already opened to Verona and Mantua. The Governments of Modena, Parma, Tuscany, and the Roman States have recently treated with Austria for a network of railways to be connected with the line from Milan to Venice. In fine, the means of execution of the long-projected line from Rome to Ancona are under consideration. But no Government is more occupied about railways than that of Sardinia. The line from Turin to Genoa is terminated between Turin, Alexandria, Novi, and Arqueta, to the foot of the Apennines. Works not less gigantic than those of the Sommering are at this moment in the ccurse of execution for the passage over the Apennines between Arqueta and Genoa. It is supposed that they will be terminated in 1853, and the port of Genoa, like Trieste will then be able to dispute with us th e passage t o India. M. Magne was received a t a pr i vate au di e nce by the King of Sardinia. Everything leads to the belief that during this interview, which lasted not less than an hour, the King spoke to M. Magne of the projects of his Government for the eseention of the railway to unite Turin to Lyons, across Savoy and Mount Cenis. It is said that an English company has already , treated with the Sardinian Government for the con cession of the line between Turin and Suza, and that the negotiations opened for the concession of the line from Modena to Chambery and the French frontier are far advanced. Neither of the . two sec tions a h i e l w i a i n y eu s pr n e i s t e i n u g t s theyPiedmontese u h l n t i e e s t o ; b the F enc of between Modena and Suza Mount Cenis must be got through by means of a tunnel 12 kilometres (71 English miles) in length. M. Matisse, the engineer in chief of the Turin to Genoa line, has invented an excavating machine, by means of which he will be able, he thinks, to execute this gigantic tunnel in five years. The Hon. Minister having returned to France by Mount Cenis and Savoy, went over the direction surveyed by the Piedmontese engineers, and was able to judge for himself of the possibility of this magnificent undertaking, destined to cross the highest chain of mountains in Europe ; and we hope that, when the Assembly shall have decided definitively re lating to the Lyons and Avignon lines, it will seri ously take into consideration a line to unite France to Italy. It will then be possible to say that there are no longer any Alps, and that with better reason than the great King said formerly, that there were not any Pyrenees." POLYTECHNIC IN STIT UTION. If the Great Exhibition has bewildered a few of its visitors, charmed others, and disappointed some, there will yet remain a vast treasury of facts in the recollection of the beautiful specimens of nature's work, or the handicraft of man, from which those (whose pleasant and ennobling duty it is to instruct) will draw never ending themes of learned discourses ; but, foremost and perseverin ,, in this respect, must be named the lectures at the Royal Polytechnic In stitution, where Mr. J. H. Pepper, the professor of chemistry, is at the present time delivering a very interesting lecture on iron and steel. The subject is of course treated in a popular man ner, and commencing with a succinct account of the various ores found in different parts of England, from which the metal is obtained, the learned lecturer specially mentioned one he had lately received from Cleveland, Yorkshire, to analyse, which contained about 39 per cent. of iron, and was likely, from its excellent position for water and land carriage, to be come one of the largest iron producing districts in the kingdom. A number of brilliant experiments fol lowed, demonstrating the various stages of oxida tion, and the smelting of the ores was carefully exp!ained. The different impurities which the iron contains, and their prejudicial effects on the quality, particularly in connexion with manufactures in steel, were then detailed, and after a general summary of the preparation of blistered, shear, and cast steel, the lecturer concludei by bringing forward some admirable perfectly tempered specimens of steel, in the shape of sword-blades, manufactured by Mr. Wilkinson, Pall-mall. An iron plate was pierced through with cue of them, without affecting in the slightest degree the sharpness or edge, whilst the other vigorous tests to which it had been subjected were also explained, and by employing the beautiful principle first discovered by Mr. Wilkinson, that in every sword there is a place called the centre of per cussion, where the whole muscular force of the arm is concentrated, the lecturer, though ignorant of the sword exercise, performed the curious feat of cutting in half a thi c k wooden rod, supported on two vessels filled with water, without spilling a single drop. With such a happy admixture of science and practice, it is needless to add, the audience departed well pleased with the learned lecturer's clever discourse. THE SUN, LONDON, THE GLASGOW CIRCUIT. GLASGOW, MONDAY EVENING.—This was the closing day of the Glasgow Circuit Court, which has been remarkable beyond any that has preceded it for the number of trials arising out of deaths by violence, and the injuries from shooting and stabbing. As already noticed, a man named Hare was sentenced on Thursday to be hanged on the 22d current, for mur der by stabbing ; and to-day, a powerful Irishman, named Thomas Haggerty, had a narrow escape from tha same fate. He was accused, under the Cutting and Maiming Act, of stabbing Mr. Frederick Irvine, a tartan manufacturer (who had given him no offence), to the danger of life. The case was fully proved, and it came out in evidence that since 1844 this fellow had been convicted and imprisoned no fewer than 10 sepa rate times, for crimes of assault committed in Glas gow. On the very day on which he came out of prison for one of these offences the crime for which he was now tried was committed. Before leaving his lodgings he had sharpened his knife, stating, on going out, that he would " rip up any one who encountered him," and that it would give him especial satisfaction to shoot the Procurator-Fiscal, at whose instance he had been previously tried and imprisoned. The jury unanimously found Haggerty guilty, Lord COLONSAY remarking that had the Depute- Advocate not restricted the libel, he would have felt it his duty to have sentenced the fellow to be executed. He was sentenced to transportation for life. A painful sensation has been created in Glasgow by another cruel case of stabbing. It appears that at a late hour on Friday night, or early on Saturday morning-, three Irishmen were upon the streets, when one of them, named Patri c k M'Cl us k e y, h a d a quarre l with a man, whose name is uLknown. In the course of the struggle M'Cluskey was cruelly stabbed ; his left thumb was nearly severed from his hand, and his bowels protruded to the extent of 14 inches. The assailant coolly walked off, the bystanders, of whom a considerable number had collected, believing that the quarrel was an ordinary street fight. The magis trates have offered a reward of thirty guineas for the apprehension of the unknown stabber, and meanwhile INl'Cluskey lies in the Infirmary in a critical state. A still more painful sensation has been excited in Greenock by the occurrence of the happily rare charge in Scotl an d o f a w if e p o isoning her hus band. Ma. _. It a p pears that an old man, name d Th omas Macvey, w h o earned butter, fish, and other Mullen, as a lodger, a living . by dealing in . apples, wi,e about six months ago articles,. took into his house . alyaoung Irishman, named David pweiefet,ansairmahprateGr ucioinionnexiaociavey soon had cause to sus . - out uf . doors.

The woman was taken into custody, and the body w as exhumed on Saturday last, and Drs. Auld and Laurie are engaged in making a chemical analysis of the contents of the stomach and bowels, with the view of determining the existence or non-existence of poison. Al!anwhile the people of Greenock are in a state of painful excitement on t h e su bj ect un til the result of \ the chemical analysis shall have been known. —Traffic for GLASGOW Ara, SO UTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. the week ending October 4, 1851: Number of passengers k 26,950), goods and parcels, horses and carriages .. £4,551 8 11 Corresponding week in last year for Glasgow and Ayr, and, Glasgow, Dumfries, and Car lisle Railways Glasgow, October G. .. 83,331 15 3 WEDNESDAY EVENING, MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS NUMBER OF DEATHS FROM ALL CAUSES REGISTERED IN THE WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, OCT. 4, 1851.

THE PERFECTION OF COOKERY.—The boarding house-keepers in New York have become such perfect adepts in the science of cookery as to make the same meat answer for beef, pork, veal, or mutton, none of their boarders being able to distinguish the difference. It might be an interest ing fact to know to what animal that meat originally belonged. THE LONDON GAZETTE, Oct. 7. `WAR-OFFICE, Oc'r. 7, 1851.

Edward Mackay, a revenue officer, was brought before Sir Robert Carden, upon a charge of having robbed the captain of a vessel to which he was sent to perform his duty as a functionary of the Customs. Alexander Mercanti, the mate of the brig Anna, lying off Fresh Wharf, said :—We arrived in the Thames a few days ago, and the defendant came on board by direction of the Custom-house authorities to look after the merchandize. Yesterday the captain was on shore, and he sent the boatswain on board to get some money. The money was gone, as I soon learned from the boatswain, who upon missing it sent for me. The prisoner was there when the boatswain came aboard, sitting in the same cabin in which the chest where the money was deposited was kept. Michael Puglia. son of Captain Puglia, of the brig Anna, said—l had the care of the chest in which the money was kept. On Sunday night I saw the money ' safe in the chest. The chest was not locked. The money was in a bag. It consisted of twelve Spanish dollars, three gold pieces, and twenty-five pieces of Austrian money. I did not speak to the prisoner about what had taken place. I missed the money when the boatswain came from my father. The boatswain said he had a suspicion of the prisoner, and he twigged his pocket like, and told me, and I seized the end of the bag as I saw it hanging out of the prisoner's pocket. The prisoner then jumped on one side, and the bag came out of his pocket. I asked him what business he bad with the bag, and he begun to talk in a confused manner altogether. I then sent for an officer, and gave him into custody. The bag contained ten pieces of Austrian money, one Greek piece, and three Spanish dollars. Fenning (City police)—The prisoner was given into my custody yesterday afternoon, on board the Anna, upon the charge of having stolen a bag of money out of the captain's box, and one of the men said he had found some money in a bag in the pri soner's pocket. I took him to the station-house, and found in his pocket his commission as a revenue officer. The prisoner said he bad picked up the bag on the deck. I went on board again and searched the prisoner's bedding and bed-place, and on a shelf over the head of his bed I found two gold coins and one dollar. Another officer found more money under the prisoner's bed. The prisoner said—Yesterday before four o'clock, at the settlement of the business of the day, I went into the cabin to change my stockings, and at the bottom of the ladder I saw the bag lying on the cabin floor. I brought it on the deck and was just going to inquire to whom it belonged, when one of the seamen or the boatswain made a snatch at it, took it from me and handed it to the mate, who immediately charged me with abstracting it from the captain's chest, which I certainly did not do. Sir R. W. CARDEN—I consider the case to be one of very grave importance, taking into consideration the responsible situation which the prisoner holds, and the trust which is necessarily reposed in him. I therefore request the prisoner's superior officer will at once communicate with the Board of Customs on the subject, as some difficulty may arise from the obliga tion of the vessel to sail before the ensuing session of the Central Criminal Court, and shall remand the prisoner in order to receive the report. GUILDHALL. Edward Low, treasurer of the Eclipse Mutual Be nefit Association, held at the Green Dragon, in Fleet street, was summoned before Alderman Moon and Alderman Wire for unlawfully refusing to pay to William Peart, a member of the society, twelve shillings per week, according to the rules, the said iViliiam Peart having duly declared himself upon the sick fund. Mr. APPane appeared for the complainant ; and Mr. Wakeling, see., attended on behalf of the society. Henry Dunbar Peart said that he was the son of the complainant, whom he had left about two hours previous in bed, and incapable of attending. That complainant had paid his monthly payments regularly until the last payment, which the society refused to take because witness was a few minutes too late with it. In August last witness tendered the surgeon's certificate of his father's illness to the secretary and claimed for him the benefits of the society. The se cretary, however, gave him to understand that the claim would not be allowed. Alderman Moose asked Mr. Wakeling if his answer to this would be to contend that such institutions should be allowed to exist, to take the money from the poor man, and rob him with impunity ? Mr. Wakeling said he would show that the rob bery was quite , on the oth er s id e , f or comp l a i nan t was the founder of the society, and, being a printer, he had all the printing for it, and for which be sent in a bill for 51/. and upwards when the society itself did not consist of more than fifty members ; and after get ting his money, he magnanimously presented the so ciety with a donation of 101, a part of his overcharge and then declared upon the sick fund. Alderman Moose then inquired if the society was enrolled according to the /Let of Parliament, which g ave him jurisdiction in these cases, and receiving an answer in the affirmative, h e reques t e d M r . Wakeling to put in the certificate of enrolment. then but it Mr. Wakeling said it rested with complainant to p rove the enrolment by producing the certificate. Evidence given of the existence of the en was not produced. Mr. Wakeling still co n t en d e d t h a t it h a d no t b een prove d that the society was a benefit society, and un til that was done the case could not be proceeded with. vhindeenlitce certificate,ws Alderman MOON said it was proved to his satis faction, but that he would take the advice of his brother alderman upon the subject before coming to any decision. Alderman A IRE said he understood Mr. Wakeling objected that the enrolment and rules of the society had not been proved ; he would, therefore, hear what the witness had further to Say upon that point. Henry D. Peart said he had examined the copy of the rules already produced, with those in Mr. Tidd Pratt's office, and certified by him, and found them to be exactly the same. The bill complained of by Mr. Wakeling was then handed up, in which an item appeared under the name of re gistration fee," which complainant had paid at the time the rules were certified by Mr. Tidd Pratt. Alderman WIRE said that where a benefit society objected to meet certain claims upon merely technical grounds, he thought it perfectly disgraceful. How ever, if Mr. Wakeling would produce a copy of his own rules, ho would then be able to compare them with those in evidence. After some hesitation, Mr. Wakeling produced a copy, which both parties admitted. Mr. Wakeling then objected-Ist, that the com plainant ought to be present to give him the opportu nity of cross-examinatioa ; 2d, that the wrong party had been summoned ; 3cl, that complainant was not properly a member ; and, lastly, that no demand had been made to any of the officers of the society for the allowance now claimed. Alderman WIRE said that a reasonable ground for complainant's absence bad been given, which disposed of the first objection, and he considered that the cards and other evidence produced showed that the society were before the Court, and that complainant was a member acknowledged by the society. With regard to the last objection, it was not necessary that any formal demand should be made. Mr. Wakeling then said that the rules did not sanction the admission of a member above the age of forty-five years, and complainant was upwards of seventy years old. Alderman WIRE said complainant was evidently a member, and entitled by a card produced to 123. per week in affliction. Such an objection only show e d that the society, aft er a d m itting complainant infor mally, were now desirous of taking . advantage of their own wrong. H oweve r, if the society had acted foolishly, it was no reason that he should sit on the bench to do injustice. It was very clear that com plainant was a member, and entitled to all the bene fits according to the rules. If the society could show that the documents before him were forgeries, and that complainant had never been a cknowledged a member, then Mr. Wakeling might tender evidence to that effect. Or if they could impeach the witness's state ment with regard to complainant's health, then they might indict hire for perjury ; and any order the ma gistrates might snake would be rendered unavailable. At present he would only make the order for payment of the money and costs ; but at the same time he must again state, that the society had taken an erro neous view in resisting a just claim. The order was then made. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. James George Spencer was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having embezzled various sums of money from his employer, Mr. Burton, fur nishing ironmonger, No. 39, O x ford-street. It was rather a remarkable feature in the case that the prisoner was the principal witness in another case of embezzlement brought against another servant in the employ of Mr. Burton. Mr. Wontner attended for the prosecution ; Mr. Nobler for the defence. OCTOBER 8, 1851. William Crowther, van-driver to Mr. Burton, said on the 22d of August he received the following amounts :—Of Mr. Durrant, 1/ ; Mr. Burrell, 21. Bs.; and Mr. Dawson, 11. Bs. He paid the amounts over to the prisoner, wholwas till-cashier, on the same day. Jabez Brookman, another van-driver, said on the 2d of September he received from Captain Walker 121. 12s. 61., which he paid over to the prisoner. Alfred Noel, principal cashier to Mr. Burton, said it was the prisoner's duty to account to him every day for the moneys he received, and it was his duty to make an entry of all the sums he received during the day; he had not accounted to him for the sums received from the van-drivers. The prisoner's initials were against the amounts paid over to him by the van-drivers and not accounted for. Mr. HARDWICK put some questions to the wit nesses, in consequence of the apparent intricacy of the system of keeping accounts, and, at the close of the examination, suggested that it might be advisable to adopt a more simple mode of accounts. The suggestion was promised attention. The prisoner reserved his defence, and was fully committed. SOUTH WARK. George Freeman, a bargeman, was brought before Mr. A'Beckett charged with throwing John Gingle, another bargeman, into the river, with intent to in- jure him. Complainant stated that on Saturday evening his barge was moored inside St. Saviour's Dock. The defendant had charge of another barge outside, which was lying across, so that no other barge could get out. Wishing to save tide and proceed down the river, he asked the prisoner to let go his hawser, to enable him to pass out. This he refused to do, and witness said if he did not he would do it himself. The pri soner still refusing to unfasten the rope and make way for his barge, he went towards the head to remove it, when prisoner came up to him, and using dreadful language, actnally pushed him overboard. The depth of water in the dock when he was immersed was six feet, and had not he been able to swim, he must have been drowned, as it was some time before he was got out. He was then nearly insensible. In answer to the charge the prisoner said that he did not wilfully push him overboard. Complainant was about to cut his barge adrift, and on his going to prevent him his arm accidentally touched his, and he fell overboard. He (prisoner) jumped into the water, and assisted in getting him out. The watchman of the dock denied the prisoner's statement. He never got into the water at all, but used ill language towards complainant. The prisoner having declared that he could bring witnesses to prove his assertions, was remanded for a week. The prisoners were accordingly remanded for that purpose. DESTRUCTIVE WHIRLWIND IN LIMERICK. A letter from Limerick, written on Sunday night, and published in Saunders of yesterday morning, con tains the following particulars of an unusually violent whirlwind which raged in that city on Sunday even ing :—" At half•past five o'clock this morning this city was visited by one of the most awful and destruc tive whirlwinds ever experienced in this part of Ire. land, or, I believe, ever known to have occurred within these realms. The suddenness of the gale, with its destructive consequences, are almost incre dible, but the following are the exact par ticulars :—The greater portion of the day was fine, with occasional showers of rain, and now and then bright sunshine. However, at the hour above stated. the horizon assumed a bright yellowish aspect towards the north, and a whirlwind set in from the north-west, the effect being first experienced at the North Strand, at the residence of Mr. William Gleeson, ship agent. The noise in the air, as the whirlwind approached, re sembled the roar of steamers discharging waste steam from their funnels on reaching the quays. In a moment the trees in front of Mr. Gleeson's house were uptorn and born aloft in the air to a great height, the leaves and huge branches dangling so for a few seconds, when the dense body de scended, tumbled the chimney glasses, demolished the window frames, and in a shorter space than I write the word, rushed along the Wellesley-bridge, prostrating those who were walking thereon, some of whom only escaped being carried over the swivel by firmly holding on by the iron paling; but they were injured by the trees which passed over them. The terrific blast struck the office of the same gentleman, situate at the south end of Wellesley-bridge, at the city side of the river, and so powerful was the gust that the entire shop front, shutters, sash, window glass, &c., were shiVered to pieces, and displaced two feet from the wall. An apple-woman who was sitting in the locality was slightly injured, and the adjoining shop windows instantaneously de molished. The stores in Brunswick-street and on Honan's-quay were stripped of their heavy slat ing, and the flues of the kilns hurled away in the current. At Arthur's Quay sails were carried off from the turf-boats in the river and fell upon housetops in Denmark- street. Two windows in Cruise's Hotel, George's-street, were blown in with a tremendous crash, some of the gentlemen stopping there being cut by the glass. The shock was felt by the inhabitants of other dwellings in the vicinity, and caused utter consternation. The uncontrollable ele ment was discernible throughout its devastating pro gress, resembling a heavy body of dust blown up from the earth, and took a circuitous route, passing down Denmark-street, through Mungret street, and so on, to Thomond-gate, doing consider able damage to house property—unroofing many dwellings, stores, warehouses, &c. The corn-market in Mungret-street was considerably damaged, while window shutters, frames, and door posts, were blown about like so much tissue paper. Many persons were lifted from terra firma and spun round like whipping tops. Two men, I am sorry to add, were so badly hurt that they had to be conveyed to Barrington 's Hospital, where they lie in a precarious state. It is rather remarkable that this extraordinary phenomenon confined its ravages to the localities I have enume rated, unknown until passed away to the inhabitants of the other portions of the city. Darkness having set in soon after, I am unable to furnish more in detail. As I write crowds are congregated in every quarter talking over this unprecedented occurrence, which will be long remembered by those who wit nessed it. It is rather remarkable that in Mr. Glee son's timber yard, in Ellen-street, huge beams were blown about." THAMES. Wilhelm Balser, a German, employed in a sugar house in Whitechapel, was brought before Mr. Yard ley, charged with assaulting and beating Catherine Diebel, aged 16 years. This case was presented to the magistrate through the interference of the Rev. Dr. Cappel, minister of St. George's German Church, in Little Alie• street, who said the girl had been most barbarously treated by her taskmaster, who had brought her to this country under false pretences, and that instead of paying her wages, as he bad promised her parents before leaving Germany, he had never given her a farthing, and did not supply her with a proper quan tity of food or clothing. The rev. gentleman also stated that many others traded in German girls, and after inducing them to leave their Fatherland, sent them on the streets, either to sell brooms and solicit alms, or for the purposes of prostitution, and if they did not bring home a certain amount of money every night, they were beaten by their masters and sent to bed without any food. Mr. YARDLEY made some very strong observations on the nefarious traffic, and said the interference of ' the Legislature was required to put a stop to it. Mr. Strauss, a linguist, having been sworn as in terpreters Catherine Diebel stated, partly in German and partly in English, that her father was a country la bourer at Weiper-felden, is the Duchy of Nassau, near Frankfort-on the-Maine. The prisoner belonged to the same place. About a year and a half ago the prisoner brought her over to this country, and his wife or woman, his daughter, and a baby accompanied them. She remained with the prisoner and his family up to the 4th of September, when no longer able to endure the starvation and ill-treatment to which she was subjected, she ran away. The pri soner sent her out every morning to sell brooms and toy windmills, and he generally gave her eighteen of one and six of the other, and expected her to sell them all at a penny each, and bring home 2s. If she did not do so, he flogged her. That happened very often. On Tuesday, the 2d of September, she only brought home 11d., and he then beat her in a most savage manner with a large strap over her back and shoulders. He beat her because she had not brought home 2s. He gave her no food that night, and next morning she ran away from him. In answer to questions by the magistrate, the girl said she was sixteen years of age this month. Balser made an agreement with her father to give her 8/. for eighteen months' service, and plenty of food and clothing. She was seventeen months with him. The prisoner received all the money she obtained. She did not know how much he sent to her father. Mr. YARDLEY—This is very pretty. This is the way the pennies go which are given out of charity to these people. Mr. Strauss—The defendant says he sent her father 3/. of the broom money. The girl said she did not know how much the pri soner had sent to her father, who, she thought, was to come to this country at the end of October to fetch her. Mr. YARDLEY—After you have finished your Eng. lish education. The prisoner in defence said he never beat the girl at all ' • he never knew what she brought home ; he never had her money, and he did not beat her on the Tuesday night. Conrad Schimpf, a German, said he was a skin dresser, and that the parties lived in his house in Col chester-street. They rented one room, in which they all lived. The prisoner beat the girl fifty times or more—he was always beating her. Sometimes her body was black and blue all over. The prisoner beat her with a strap, and at other times kicked her and pinched her. Mr. YARDLEY—Why did you not interfere to save this poor girl from such barbarous treatment ?—The witness (with a peculiar grin)—Oh, it was nothing to me. _ _ Mr. YARDLEY—I think it was a good deal to every body. Schimpf—His room door was always shut, and he was in his own room. Mr. YARDLEY—Because he was in his own room you considered you had no right to interfere ? Schimpf—There were five or six lodgers, his coun trymen, in the front room, and they ought to have interfered. I have said something to him. I heard her scream very much, and heard him beat her, but I did not see him beat her. She had nothing on but rags all the time she was with the defendant. Mr. YARDLEY—How is it you did not interfere the last night she was so severely beaten, and was scream ing ? Schimpf—No, I did not. Mr. YARDLEY—YOU are an extraordinary man. Schimpf went on to state that it was shocking to hear the girl's cries and screams ; that she was now living with him, and under the kind protection of the Rev. Dr. Cappell. He expected the girl's father over 50011. Margaret Schimpf, aged 14, daughter of the last witness, said—l have seen Balser beat the girl with a strap a great many times because she did not bring home money enough. Balser often kicked her. The girl Diebel was recalled, and said the prisoner first took her towards Russia, intending that she should sell brooms there, but they could not get into the country. They only got as far as Hamburgh. She got food in the streets from kind-hearted people, when she sang her " Buy a broom" song at the areas. But for the gifts of the London people, she would have starved. _ _ Mr. YARDLEY said he would like to see the Rev. Dr. Cappel, the minister of St. George's German Church, who had so kindly interfered on the girl's behalf, previous to his finally disposing of the case; and on his being informed that the Rev. Gentleman had been compelled to leave the court on business, he adjourned the investigation until Thursday. Willis Ford, a strange ill-looking man, about 38 years of age, was brought up on remand before Mr. Yardley, charged with indecently assaulting several little girls, under ten years of age. The case was one of the most painful ever brought into a court of ju s . tice. The evidence is unfit for publication. After a long inquiry, Mr. YARDLEY committed the prisoner for trial on four different charges. WANDS WORTH. James Buyant, aged 35 , George Wise, aged 25, and George Taylor, aged 18 years, described as ostlers, were brought before Mr. Paynter f o r re-exa mination, on the charge of wilfully setting fire to some premises at the Fox and Hounds public-house, in the Upper Richmond-road, Putney, at which the stables and piggeries were damaged and 14 p i gs de stroyed, under very suspicious circumstances. A good deal of evidence was given, without, how ever, any additional facts being proved beyond those mentioned at the previous examination. Mr. PAYNTEE said the prisoners appeared to have some guilty knowledge of the fire, and it was most extraordinary that they did not alarm the people in the house when the flames were first discovered. In stead of doing so, they ran away from the premises. There appeared to be some irregularities in the house, as the prisoners had full licence to enter the stables, although they seemed to be in no person's employ. He could not dispose of the case at present, until he had examined some other witnesses who were not in attendance. I When made up in From what PLACES. General Post-office port die- When due.

The following appears in the Assemblee Nationale : " The immersion of the electric wire, so boldly con necting Dover and Calais, has afforded matter to the press during the past, week. Mr. Jacob Brett has had many difficulties to encounter. He had before 1848 been applying most earnestly to the French Government for permission to establish his electric telegraph between the two countries, but owing to the extreme slowness of the offices in France, was always put off to another day. At last came the revolution of February, when the mani festations which were then to be seen in the streets of Paris were not of a nature to give encouragement to industrial undertakings. Mr. Brett at last joined with himself M. Frederic Toche, and both together endeavoured to get their object carried. At last came the election of December 10, and some time after Mr. Brett got himself presented to Prince Louis Napoleon by Count d'Orsay. The Prince listened to Mr. Brett's statement with great attention, and seeing the advantage of the plan, at once promised Mr. Brett his support. It was then about half-past ten in the morning. Have you breakfasted ?' said all of a sudden the Prince. o, Prince,' said Mr. Brett. Then you shall breakfast with me, said the Prince, and when the Council of Ministers meets at half- past eleven, I will see what can be done.' The same day Mr. Brett received a letter from M. Baroche, requesting him to call on him, and from that gentleman he received a decree signed by the President, according him the privilege which he soli cited. At present the wire is laid ; an inauguration fête is spoken of in honour of the opening of the elec tric communication between Paris and London, at which an electric spark communicated at London by Prince Albert is to discharge the cannons of the In valides ; and another, imparted by Prince Napoleon at Paris, is to let off the cannons of the Tower of London. Thought at present knows not what space is, for it has taken lightning for its messenger. it is the fiat l ux applied to man." SEABORNE MAILS.

RA wheat is at the present moment worth rather more moiler ; in Hamburgh than Hull, and orders continue to be e%' ecuted here for that city. Much business has chars°' terised the trade for all articles during the past wee% and we experienced a healthy consumptive demand. M to-day's market we had only a moderate show of wbeo from the farmers; and having many buyers, combined with the improved tone of Mark-lane and the leading country markets, good-conditioned now was quick 5 51° at fully is to 2s per qr advance. Condition was a little affected by the damp weather, which may cause souls inereased demand for old foreign, of which there is good choice in granary here at present. The market is get' ting well cleared of barley; a cargo of Egyptian is rr tailing on moderate terms. Very little of malting Vs' lity offers, except new English, which varies a good deal. A fair sale for oats. Very few good beans it stock here, and prices well supported. Egyptian go ou in retail at 26s 631bs. A better inquiry for feeding peas, but boilers are neglected. The linseed market 11 exceedingly heavy, and full is lower. Cakes unaltered , but fine foreign more saleable. The import of rare" seed goes direct to the crushers; for cake there is • somewhat improved demand. More inquiry for gu ano.
