FRANCE. The Moniteur announces that from to-morrow the closing prices• of the Five and 'Three per Cents. and of Bank Shares are to be transmitted to Tours each evening by electric telegraph; as. has been for some time done en the Rouen and Northern lines. On the intelligence arriving of the death of the Queen of the Belgians, Colonel Baccbiochi, orderly officer to the President of the Republic, immediately proceeded to the resideace_of. M. Firmin Rogier, en voy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of Belgium, to bear to him the compliments of con dolence of the President. M. Firmin Rogier was received yesterday by the President of the Republic. M. Goudchaux, . Miniater. of. Finance - under the' Provisional Government, has addressed the following` letter _to the Journal des /Abets :a-z •, - - • , • - ' ' " ' `' • " Paris; 15th October. s-it-Sita—Ll believe that' I hav‘ Proved by mit 'Silence: on all occaeihnii'tha tdo ;tape 'like to ocCupy, ;the', Viiblic - with Wheel's peisorial to me. The first article! of the Debats of yesterday 'obliges me, however ) to: act differently. I read in the fourth '66liiinn: of the first page :—' To the citizsn Goudchaux was sent the coui.e the ' Diamant,' drawn by Manauvre and Avare —for one hundred and fifty days, at 25f., 3,750f.' That is completeli inexact. (I do not say false in order not to fail in politeness.) I was twice charged with the functions of Minister of Finance. The first time was the 25th of 1 February, 1848 ; I only remained in the post eight days, that is to say, whilst Paris was unpaved, in consequence of the barricades, and at that time I made use of no carriage as will readily be supposed. The second time was after the journies of June, 1848. I remained in office four months. At my arrival I found a carriage (belonging to the Court) which I immediately sent back, and I hired at my own cost a little one-horse coupe. I paid for it with my own money during the four months of my minis try. I have the receipts still. Since the quotation which concerns me causes to fall on me the accusa tion of rapacity and avarice, permit me, Sir, not to confine myself to saying that I made no use of a carriage to which I bad no right, but that neither during my first nor my second passage in the Minis try of France did I receive the salary to which I was entitled as minister, nor indemnity of any kind." M. Napoleon Bonaparte, representative of the people, has addressed a letter to the editor of the Revue des Deux i}londes, to correct certain statements relative to th- Bonaparte family, made by the Count de Montalivet in his recent article in that periodical on the civil list of King Louis Philippe. M. Bona parte says he is anxious to "throw light on what M. de Montalivet has said respecting his father," and on " his own relations with the Government of July ;" and he makes the following assertions :—ln 1845 he obtained permission to " pay a visit to Paris on pri vate business, but at the end of three months was ordered by the Minister of the Interior to leave within eight days ; and it was only by the friendly intervention of Admiral Mackau, Minister of Ma- ' rine, who had served under his father, that he was allowed to remain a few days longer. During his stay, he asked permission to visit his cousin, the , President of the Republic, at Ham, but was refused. In 1846, he endeavoured to obtain leave for his brother, who was seriously ill, to be sent to a watering place of the Pyrenees, as recommended by his physician, but the Government would not allow it, and some months after his brother died in Italy. In April, 1847, his father petitioned the Chambers to be al lowed to return to France ; the Chamber referred the petition to the Ministers, and the Ministers only allowed his father and himself a temporary per mission to enter France ; they had, consequently, he says, no legal protection, and were at the dis position of the Minister of the Interior. The Government of Louis Philippe, M. Buonaparte asserts, always refused to present a Bill for putting an end to the proscription of his family ; but he admits that it was less severe as regarded their demands on the state. In 1815, his father, he says, lost his fortune, and a small inheritance he bad obtained from one of his sisters was confiscated, though all the eminent advocates of the time condemned the confiscation. In 1831, M. Ca simir Perier, admitting that injustice had been commit ted, showed a disposition to repair it ; but after that time every demand was without effect. The tribunals which were applied to, declared themselves without jurisdic tion. At last the Government consented to prepare a Bill, when the revolution of February broke out. This Bill decided nothing as to the amount of the sum to . be granted, but admitted the principle of an annuity, as an indemnity for what M. Bonaparte calls the "indisputable rights" of his father, and " the spoila tioos made by the restoration." To obtain this Bill, he remarks, it required eighteen years efforts ; and he adds— - "I see nothing in all that which resembles in any way an act of 'Munificence on the part of the King. It was an affair between the State and a private individual, such as arises every day, and the Chambers would have decided on it. It is true that, instead of showing itself hostile, as it had previously done, the Ministry of 1840 was favourable. That is all the truth with the most' scrupulous exactitude." With respect to the conduct of the Bonapartes towards the Orleans family, Al. Napoleon Bonaparte says that in 1815 the Emperor, of his own free will, accorded a , pension of 400,000 f. to the mother of Louis Philippe ; in iB5O, the French Republic, under the presidency of Louis Napoleon, recognised the dowry of 300,000 f. de rente of the Duchess d'Orleans. (M. Bonaparte says that he 'abstained from voting.) In 1850, he proposed to put an end to the exile of all the' Bourbon families. M. Bonaparte concludes by saying that, although he has found it necessary to place facts, in their real light, in contradiction to M. de Montalivet, he is not animated with any ma levolent feeling towards the Orleans family. N. de Montaiivet has published a reply to the letter. He observes that it does not deny any one of the facts he had advanced as a proof of the generous sentiments of the King Louis Philippe towards the princes of the Bonaparte family. He says that M. Bonaparte would have given himself the double ad vantage of being just and able if he had shown more respect, if not gratitude, for the memory of Louis Philippe. Ile declares that though Al. Bonaparte may reflise to admit, history will not—that the late Kieg acted generously in allowing, contrary to the prescriptions of the law, members of the proscribed Bonaparte family on more than one occasion to enter France a ita pardoning the armed revolt of a nephew of the Einperor ; in restoring liberty to another nephew of the Emperor in a foreign country (the payment of this nephew's debts by the late King, to rescue him from gaol is here referred • to) • and in the King's offering to M. Napoleon's a; 1 ' V -A -k ~,,‘ father his co-operation in procuring him an allowance , :t s e ., - ( from the country. As to the ordering away from Al.. ranee of Al. Napoleon Bonaparte, Al. de Montalifet s timates that it was in c o n se quence of his having .;.-,: %;..( : )E.l-...trmed a liaison with extreme political parties. With N.. -- s' a err ' Terence to Al. Bonaparte's remarks on what the Em .se- ' .......fek''', ror and himself had done for the Orleans family, ...........; .., _.._. \-s M. de Montalivet recommends him not to institute a '''.- cornastaisOu ' which could be advantalogna„l4kither to ~.., ......44 ; 1 1C : THE Stlig, the Emperor nor himself. But he says that the me mories of Napoleon and Louis Philippe cannot be placed in hostility one to another, for " their great ness of a nature so different will meet in history without shock or combat. Drawn together, on the - contrary, in their triumphs and reverses by a fatal conformity, they both had, after their fall, implac able but powerful detractors against the j ustice of the future." GERMAN Y. The Constitutional Journal of Bohemia, under date of Vienna 10th, says, " M.Delacour, Ambassador from the French Republic to our Court, has received dis patches from his Government which perfectly accord with the letters which had been received by the Cabinet from M. de Hubner. The French Minister has resolved to act in accord with Austria for the regulation of the af fairs of Germany. It is regarded as certain that France will recognise the Diet of Frankfort as soon as England shall have done so, and that until that takes place she will support it with her influence. The French diplo matic agents in Germany have received orders from the Minister of Foreign Affairs to act in this sense (particularly in the affair of Hesse), in maintaining itself on the ground of legal and constitutional prin ciples. It is positively stated that France wishes that Germany should be organized according to the treaties of 1815, and opposes any territorial changes?' A COURAGEOUS WOMAN. On Wednesday last, the inhabitants of the village of Liddiard Millicent, near Swindon, were alarmed by the report that the dwelling-house of a woman who keeps a small shop had been broken into, and that some violence had been offered to the women. The police were immediately on the alert, and Mr. Superintendent. Haynes,, of the Wilts constabulary force, apprehended Charles Clark, alias Embury, who resided about a mile from the woman's residence, on suspision of being concerned in the outrage. On Monday last the prisoner was taken before the magistrates at Swindon, and the- case was heard before the Earl cf Radnor, tha Rev. G. A. God dard, Mr.' J. Crowdy; and Captain Prower.'744e na ture of the outrage, wad the extraordinary ..41earage displayed by the woman, will be best shown from iser evidence. Keziah Prior stated - -"'I am a single woman. I keep aathop, and live in the house by myself. • I sleep upstairs. Last Tuesday night, about eight o'clock, no one was in the house but myself. I fastened the dO6rs and windows. During the night I was awoke by hearing a noise like glass. crashing. • I thought at first it was the cat. The next thing-I heard .was the catch of a bolt. In' about a minute I saw,.a flare of light come from the room opposite my bedroom. That room looked out into the road. I jumped ottrof bed, and went towards my bedroom door. •As I Wal3'going towards the door a man rushed upon me.He took hold of me, and we fell ,to the floor together. I was undermost. As We . were falling he said with an oath, Deliver your money.' I screamed Murder I' _ had a struggle on the floor. , I got from him, and went into the room opposite my bedroom. The window of that room was open. It was shut 'When I went to bed. I screamed Murder!' . The man at. that time was in my bedroom ; not knowing the way, be could not get between the rooms so fast •as I could; and there were two steps between the rooms, The man followed me into the room ; he was calling out, Jack, Jack, come here.' I then turned from the window and met him. We closed together and struggled. I cannot say whether he struck the there. He struck me in the bedropi. I bear the marks on- my face: - My toes were trod to pieces with his nailed shoes or boots. He got to the window and he put his right leg up to get out. I put my hands round his body and helped him up.; He drew his other leg up, and I put my hand on his back and struck lain! as hard ",ag could, and "sea; Y Oee and.:that's , whe'ril thee shag go Otii;'' and out ha went.. , He 'fell about thirteen feet, and dropped on the =road:` I said, You rogue, I hope you will break your neck.' It was artletie light: I ivatched' him' get up and scramble away. lam certain it was the prisoner. I have - known' him for some time, and he has been to my shop. I did not see a second man. I dressed, struck a light, and went down stairs and opened the door, and went to a neighbour's and gave an alarm." In the room was found a red cap and a heavy bluigeon ; traces of blood were on the floor, and the room presented the appearance of st most severe struggle having - taken place. In the road was found a hat. 'The prisoner is a tall powerful man, with long black hair, repulsive 'features, and of the most ruffianly appearance. It is supposed that, having entered by the window, a comrade removed the ladder by which access was gained, the prisoner's intention being to descend the stairs - and open the front door, when he was attacked in such a deter mined manner by the woman, and, finding that he could not master her, and alarmed by her cries, he called for his comrade at the same time making for the window, from which, however, the ladder had been removed. The magistrates were engagtd some hours in investigating the body of evidence produced by the police, and the pris6ner was fully committed kr trial at the next assizes. ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO ROB AND MURDER BY MEANS OF CHLOROFORM. KENDAL, MONDAY.—The town has been thrown into a state of the greatest excitement and alarm by the report that a diabolical attempt had been made last night by a man who had secreted himself under a bed in Shaw's Temperance Hotel, and attempted to rob and murder a gentleman lodging in the house by the agency of chloroform. From the evidence given before the magistrates this day,. it appears that the Rev. Lachlan M'lntosh, a gentleman who had been preaching at the Presbyterian Chapel in behalf of the Baptist Home Missionary Society for Scotland, had taken up his quarters on Sunday night at Shaw's Temperance Hotel in this town. Mr. M'lntosh, who had retired to bed about nine o'clock, was awoke about twelve by a fellow attempting to suffocate him by means of a rag steeped in chloroform. Mr. M'lntosii, who is an elderly man, struggled desperately with his assailant, but, whether from the fumes of the chloro form or the terrible disadvantage . at which he was taken by his midnight assailant, he felt himself fast fail ing, when the sitiea of "'Help, murder I" roused the house. When Mr. Sheik, of the Temperance Hotel, made his way into the room, the intended victim was al ' most powerless, and the assassin, or robber, was lying upon the bedding, which had fallen upon the floor in the scuffle, apparently sound asleep. On being roughly shaken, the latter professed that he had long been a sleep-walker, and appeared to be astonished to find himself where he was. A policeman' was, how- • ever, sent for, and the supposed somnambulist was taken into custody. What givns'a very dark.appear ance to the case is, that a strong smell .of chloroform was perceived by the parties who entered the room, upon' the alarm being given; and that the next morning' a bottle containing chloroform was found under Mr. M'lntosh's bed, and a similar bottle' in the cerpet-bag of the prisoner,• who had been at the Temperance Hotel since Satur day evening. The Reverend Gentleman's face bore . strong marks of the desperate pertinacity of his noc turnal assailant. To the policeman . who took the prisoner into' custody he said he was a traveller, but refused to say for whom he travelled, or in what business. It appears that he had attended tire Me-, tliodist chapel twice on the day the attempt' Wit's made, and had also been once at church. On being asked what he was doing in the room of Mr. Mu toshE he declared that he had been a member of a Christian church fur five years, that he was a sleep walker, and knew nothing of any evil intention. He was fully committed for trial. The prisoner is a young man of pallid feattirei and a forbidding ex pression of Countenance. TRADE OF HULL. We are glad to find that the attention of all parties in this town is now steadily directed to the consider ation of the best means (.4 effecting an early reduction of those heavy charges which- are beginning to en danger the trade of the port of Eull. To the Dock Company the greatest praise is due for taking the tiative ins meaSure of which" theimpOrtence to the people _of Hull cannot be exaggerated.' And now that we begin to examine the question in all its bear ings, we confess •the surprise we feel that a state of things so long calling for change has been suffered to remain in the position in which we find it. Why, for example, should the freemen of, Hull be exempt from the water-bailiff's dues, while the merchant or ship, owner from other places settlingin Hull, and infusing' n ew life and spirit into the trade •is compelled to p a y these heavy and vexatious dues? Why'should the im porter of corn, Or . timber ' ' or pitch, tow, hemp, and •- - • • 'other articles be taxed heavily, when linseed and other produce of more modern , date are exempt - from the impost of water-bailiff's dues ? 'Why should freemen exempt from anchorage, to the' detriment of their neighbours who are not tree of Hull ? And why, in these days of free trade, should British vessels pay nothing for hostage to which foreign ships ,are liable? Why should foreign vessels be fined for coming to the port of Hull, when the policy of our corporation should be to encourage the arrival of alien ships ? Why should the Dock Company, who have lately expended upwards of half n million ster ling fur the benefit of the port, in making decks and building warehouses, be alone called upon to make sacrifices to preserve the trade of the , port, to the exclusive benefit of' the. other corporations, which have done nothing to increase the facilities of trade? Will not the trade of Hull decline as the trade of Bristol has declined if no reduction of our port charges be effected ? And, in such case, will not the revenues Of the Corporation and Trinity'llouse suffer if) proportion ? Is it not the fact that the high rates of port charges at Hull are acting prejudicially as `regaids its trade with Northern Europe and America? And if such be the case, should we no t be up and do ing . to preserve our commerce—possessing, as we do, every facility largely to increase it ? Are not Goole, Grimsby, Gainsborough, Sunderland, Hartlepool, Leith, Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Harwich, and other ports, connected as they now are with the manufac turing districts by means of railroads, making every exertion to participate in the trade carried on for cen turies at Hull ? Has not Leith shipped 15,000 bales of cotton this year to Northern Europe ? Did not 30,000 tons of foreign shipping pass our port last year for Goole, having on board 160,000 quarters of grain ? Are not our charges higher than those of any other port? And are we to be told that the cor porations of the borough and Trinity House cannot lower their rates without Acts of Parliament, and yet hear of no steps being taken. to obtain such Acts? If they be necessary, let the requisite notices be given at once, that the next session of Parliament may furnish us with the necessary powers for making all proper reductions. 'We recommend the Mayor to consult with the Town Clerk upon the desirableness of call ing an early meeting of the Town Council, for the purpose of 'authorising the giving of notices in time for legislation in the next session of Parliament. 'We wish everything to be done legally, and in order, al though we are not without an impression that the Town Clerk could suggest a mode of practically re ducing the dues during the period between this and the passing of the Act in question. There is such a thing as taking a toll with one hand, and returning it with the other ; and the Town Clerk is as competent as any man in England to advise the Council how this process may be carried on, till an Act of Parlia ment can be obtained enabling the Corporation to re duce or abolish the duties now exacted. The Corpo ration of the Trinity House will not, we feel confi dent, throw any obstacles in the way of reductions so essential to the prosperity of the port. The Brethren are trustees for the poor, and in any change care will be taken to protect their just in terests.—Hull Advertiser. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

Given under my hand this sixteenth day of May, J. Sullivan." Shortly after Miss Morgan received the above she died, leaving it endorsed to a female, who also chanced to take a fever and died before the tailor's wife! However, on her sick bed, she also en dorsed the note and gave it to a cousin, whom the tailor absolutely married, agreeably to the endorsement, in two days after the death of his wite ; and it is said the tailor and his wife are now living happily in the city of Kilkenny.— Ikenny Moderator.

The flames continued to travel, and in a space of time compara tively brief a small dwelling-house became fired, and the range of stabling, and by the period the assistance arrived from London, a barn and its contents, the stabling, and cottage, were destroyed ; and the *amen only succeeded in entirely subduing the fire by ten o'clock. Mrs. Wakeling is insured in the Phoenix Fire-office. SURREY QUARTER SESSIONS. (Before Mr. E. PENIMYN, Chairman, and a Bench of Magistrates.) MUSIC AND DANCING LICENCES. Yesterday being the day appointed for the hearing of applications fur the renewal of licences for music and dancing in the county of Surrey, and for fresh applications of a similar nature, there was a full at tendance of persons interested in establishments of that description. Mr. LOCKE applied for a renewal of the licence of the Royal Gardens, Vauxhall, to Mr. W. Fowler. . . • The Clerk of the Peace reminded the Court that a communication had been received from the Commis sioners of Woods and Forests upon the subject of the amusements given at these gardens, and, at the re quest of the Chairman, he read the letter that had been received. It enclosed one from Mr. Barry, the architect of the New Houses of Parliament, in which that gentleman called the attention of the Commis sioners to the fact that fireworks were exploded from balloons that were sent up from the gardens at night, and that upon one or two occasions burning materials bad fallen into the Government works at Thames bank, to the imminent danger of the property lying there, and the Court was requested ,to take some steps to prevent the recurrence of ,such a dangerous practice. Mr. LOCKE said, this was the first intimation Mr. Fowler had received of the existence of such a cause of complaint, and he thought it would have been more courteous to have made. an application to him in the first instance. The proprietors of the gardens were anxious to carry on the amusements without ,causing annoyance to any'person, and he must say that it appeared to him very extraordinary that any burning materials should have been carried to such a distance as Thames-bank from the gardens at Vaux hall. The CHAIRMAN said this was a question of fact which could easily be ascertained, and he asked the Learned Counsel whether he was instructed to deny that fireworks had been exploded from balloons in the air. Mr. LOCKE said' he would not deny that this had taken place. The BENCH expressed an opinion that this was a most dangerous practice, not only as regarded the Government works referred to, but to all the pro perty in the neighbourhood, and they were of opinion that it should be discontiuued. Mr. LocKE said that Mr. Fowler would readily at tend to any suggestions that fell from the Court. The CHAIRMAN then said that the licence would be renewed on the present occasion, but it would be ac companied by a condition that Mr. Foivler should un dertake not to have any fireworks exploded from bal loons in future, and if the condition was broken, the licence would not be renewed next year. The licence was then granted. , • The licences for the following houses were then renewed without any observation The Grapes, Suffolk-street ; the Black Dog, Vauxhall-walk ; the Surrey Zoological Gardens ; the Rosemary Branch ; the Castle Hotel, Richmond ; the St. Helena Gardens, Rotherbithe ; and the Salmon, Union-street, Borough. There were three new applications for licences to have music and dancing. The first was on behalf of Mr. Deane, the landlord of the Lark-hall Tavern, Lark-hall-lane. Mr. KNAPP, in support of the application, produced a memorial signed by the church warders and several other of the parish officers, and also by a number of respectable inhabitants of the neighbourhood, praying the Court to grant the prayer of the applicant. There was no opposition, and the bench granted the application. The next applicant was Mr. M. F. Horsley, of the Grove Tavern, Peckham. The Clerk of the Peace said, that with regard to this application it appeared to him that the sessional order referring to the notice to be given of such in tended applications had not been complied with. The person who had originally applied for the licence for this house was a person named Esther Dove, and he had beard nothing of Mr. Horsley until about a month ago, when he sent the usual notice to the petty sessions and to himself. Mr. INAPT, who supported the application, said the fact was that Mrs. Dove had got married to Mr. Horsley since ,she gave the original moticg, and ha felt sure that under these circumstances the bench would waive the strict form, and that they would not decide that she ought to have waited all this time to obtain her licence before she had got married. The BENCH said, that under the peculiar circum stances of the case they would receive the notice, and the testimonials presented on behalf of the applicant being considered satisfactory, the licence was granted. Mr. CHARNOCK then made an application on be half of Mr. Wentz well, the landlord of the Ship, Fore-street, Lambeth, for a licence of a similar de scription, and there being no opposition to it the bench granted the licence. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Henry Denham, charged upon suspicion of having feloniously assaulted and robbed Mr. Cureton, of Aldersgate-street, and also of having feloniously as saulted and attempted to rob Mr. Miller, of Long acre, was brought before Alderman Gibbs fur final examination. As the case of the attack upon Mr. Miller was the first in order as to the date of the offence, Alderman Gums intimated his wish to go into the particulars of that charge as the first on the list. Mr. Humphreys, upon the part of Mr. Cureton, who was present during the examination, approved of that course, which was accordingly adopted. Mr. Thomas Miller, the prosecutor, who gave evi dence against the prisoner as having been one of three men who assaulted and attempted to rob him at a little after twelve o'clock at night, at the corner of Rose-street, in Long-acre, appeared in the witness box, and said—l have no hesitation in saying that the prisoner is one of the persons who assailed me on the occasion, and that he put the stick round my neck. Alderman GIBBS have you ascertained the pre cise date of the night of the assault ? Mr. Miller —The date was the night of Friday, the 23 of August. At the Gime I was passing my coat was unbuttoned. I distinctly heard one of the men say " Eyeglass," and he was quite close to my ear at the time, so that if I heard the voice at this moment I should know it. I felt that somebody put a hand into my waistcoat pocket and felt for my eyeglass. My trou sers pockets were buttoned up tightly, and the attempt to open them failed. I had a large roll of white paper, consisting of drawings, in my hand, and when I was pinioned behind I dropped it. I also dropped at the same instant (to the best of my recollection) my walking-stick. At that stage of the proceedings I believe somebody must have approached and alarmed my assailants, for they threw me down. I saw one of them, and chased him for some little distance, but was unable to go far, or to call for the police, in consequence of,the pressure upon my throat of the weapon used upon the occasion. The solicitor for the prisoner—How long did the proceeding you describe last ? Mr. Miller—About one or two minutes, I dare say ; I cannot exactly say, but it lasted a very short time. The solicitor for the prisoner—How long did you see the persons after the assault took place ? Mr. Miller—l saw them for a very short time indeed, the business was so well done. . _ The solicitor for the prisoner—And you recollect the countenance of one of the persons by the moment ary glance you had ? Mr. Miller—l do. There was a strong light reflected from the lamp upon the coun tenance, and from the opportunity I had of seeing it, I swear that, to the best of my belief, the prisoner is one of the persons. Alderman GIBBS—Have you any doubt upon the subject ? Mr. Miller—l have not a single bit of doubt about it. _ _ In answer to other questions put by the prisoner's solicitor, Mr. Miller said the lamp, of the reflection of which upon the prisoner's countenance he had spoken, was on the opposite side of the street, about ten yards from the spot on which the assault took place ; that the night Was; _he believed, a very moonlight night; than the ifidoner's face was turned towards him, and in such a manner that he could see it by the reflec tion ; that he was pinioned by one of the men, faced by another, and that the third put the instrument round his throat. The solicitor to the prisoner —Why did you not call the prisoner ? Mr. Miller—l could not. I was almost insensible. The policeman had passed the place, I believe, two or three minutes. The solicitor—Why did you not complain of the attack ? Mr. Miller—l went immediately to the Bow-street station and represented the case there, and I also went to Scotland-yard, and stated it to the au thorities there. _ _ _ Michael Haydon, the officer, said—ln consequence of informatioU which I received I apprehended the prisoner on the 2d of October, on which day he was examined at the Mansion-house, and whilst he was there the present charge arose. Mr. Miller, it will be recollected, was present when the prisoner was on the previous examination placed at the bar, and almost fainted upon seeing his face. Alderman GIBBS then repeated to the prisoner the form of words used by magistrates when committing psrsons for trial, and asked him whether he wished to say anything on the subject of the charge against him, of having feloniously attacked Mr. Miller, with intent to rob? The prisoner, by the advice of his solicitor, said he should reserve what he had to say in his de fence for another occasion. Alderman Gmus—You stand committed. Mr. Humphreys said that, with respect to the case of his client, Mr. Cureton, it would be unnecessary, after the decision of the Alderman in the case just heard, to apply for a remand. It was only necessary for him to observe that inquiries had been made, and were still being made, into the circumstances of that atrocious robbery, and that if, while the prisoner was ee o dyy the solicitor for the defence. witha tmatterhatoffshould due arise no t r i e c l e a t s i h n o g u t l d o a hb t ei InT t g h a e vese O pnc r l oo d i nsfon ß nie t a ec i rtt l was committed to Newgate for trial. Mr. Benjamin Webb, of Lindsay-row, Chelsea, was brought up, charged with hiving defrauded a cabman name d Chamberlaine: • The cabman said—The gentleman called my cab at the Mansion-house, and desired me to drive to the Ship, in Water-lane, Thames-street. It was on Mon (lay, the 23d of September. He then directed me to drive him to the Borough-market, then to Blackfriars road, then to the Elephant and Castle, in St. George's fields, and then to the Walworth-road. He got out of the cab in the Walw or th- roa d , an d, t e lli ng me t o wait, he went into a house, and there he remained for two hours. He then came out, told me to wait a little longer, and to get some grub, f or w hich he promised to pay. I accordingly had some refreshment, and 1 waited for him another hour, and then I knocked at the door of the house into which he had entered and asked for him, but I was informed that he had left the place, so I had to return to town after paying for my grub myself, and without receiving a farthing of my fare, which amounted to 103. Bd. Alderman G inns--I regret t o sa y th a t this case is out of my jurisdiction. Y ou must app l y to anot h er cou rt on that point. Cabman have an other case, your Lordship, which is in your jurisdiction, as I am to ld, f or h e t r i e d to double mul l me again.—(A laugh.) Alderman GIBBS—Oh, he tried to get a cheap drive again. Very well ; go on. Cabman—On the.following Wednesday, as I was Broad-street, I sa w th e gen tl ema n again, going along and he was ust going to give a t urn o f t h e same kind j to another cabman, so I went up to him and spoke to him, but he pretended not to remember me, or the fare. However, I was not to b e d one , as I th o ught, again, and I told him all about it, and then he seemed to have some recollection of it, and he got into my cab, and said, "Cut away to the W a l wor th- roa d, an d mind, we now begin afresh. —(Laughter.) So I turned round and was going along to b e p a id m y fare, and he popped out his head and told me he wanted to make a call at a public-house in Queen-street before he went to -Walworth, so I drove to the public house, when in he went at one door, but out he walked at the other.—(Laughter.) I caught him afterwards in Watling-street, but now he does not wish to give me anything, although I h ave lost m y situation, for my master would not believe that any gentleman would treat a poor fellow in such a manner, and turned me away. Alderman GIBBS—This case of the eightpenny fare happens to be w ithin my jurisdiction. What h as th e defendant to say to the charge ? I understand he has taken no notice of two summonses which were served upon him? The defendant —I understand that what I am here for is an eightpenny fare, from Broad -street to Cannon -street. The cabman refused to drive m e to Walworth, an d I don't consider he is entitled to anything. Alderman a djudge you to pay the man Bd., his fare, and expenses for six days, and the co s t o f two summonses, a warrant, and execution. Mr. Goodman (the chief clerk)—The whole amount you have to pay here is 1/ 17s. 81—(Laughter.) Defendant—What, for going from Broad -street to Cannon-street. Alderman Ginns—You must pay that before you leave this court, or go to prison. Defendant—Then I appeal against your decision. Alderman GlBBS—There is no appeal. The mo ney must be paid. This case is indeed a very bad one. The poor cabman has not only been losing his time, but h e h as l os t hi s place by your gross miscon duct. He will recover the 103. Bd. score you ran up with him on the first occasion. The defendant retired greatly mortified, and in a short time pail the whole of the money. Alderman Ginns expressed a hope that the master of the complainant would, upon learning that the man had not misrepresented his treatment, restore him to his situation. SUPPOSED SUICIDE.—The body of a respectably dressed man, about 55, which is now lying for identification in the dead house St. Mary, Islington, has been picked up in the New River, near Canonbuty-bridge, Islington. His linen is marked " D.," and a paper found in his pocket is signed "J. Daviss." GAS-LIGHT AND COKE COMPANIES. Dividend Amount Name of Company, per of Paid. Price, Annum.

TAB BELLEROPHOL—The greatest anxiety is felt with respect to the Bellerophon, 78, Captain Baynes, C.B. She left Malta for England on the Bth Sept., and the last dates from Gibraltar, Oct. 6, do not give her arrival there. It is not unlikely that she went out to look for the admiral before finally leaving the station, and she may have passed Gibraltar and Lisbon without touching .at either of those ports. Captain-Superintendent Sir John Hill has returned to Deptford Dock and Victualling Yards from leave of absence. Mr. Mouchet, storekeeper of Deptford Dockyard, has also returned from leave of absence, and has resumed his responsible duties. Dauntless steam screw-frigate, Captain E. P. Hal stead, was inspected at Spithead on Monday, paid advance on Tuesday, and got under weigh yesterday at ten o'clock, for Queenstown, with steam, as the breeze was too light for sails. When Sir Bladen Capel, the commander-in-chief, inspected this ship on Monday, he called Lieutenant Rooke up, and, after shaking hands and congratulating him on his being the sole surviving officer of the unfortunate Avenger, he presented him with a walking-stick which belonged to the brother of that gallant Admiral, Sir George Rooke, to whom England is indebted for Gibraltar, the key of the Mediterranean, besides many other not less considerable services. The stick is a Malacca cane, with a born handle, having a whi s tl e in it, encircled by a silver ring, with this inscription on it—" Edward Rooke. 1681." Lieut. Rooke is now the only one of the four survivors who remains unrewarded, though he never ceased his exertions until he had provided for the three others in the fol lowing manner—viz., Mr. Larcom (gunner) promoted to the highest grade his rank admits; William Will (steward), a messengership at Somerset House ; Mor ley, the boy, entered into the dockyard. Lieut. Rooke is a descendant of John, third Earl of Lennox, from whom the Sovereign who now occupies .the Throne is herself descended.

HEALTH of LONDON DURING the WEEK, (From the Registrar-General's Report.) In the week ending last Saturday the deaths regis tered in the metropolitan districts were 839. Taking for comparison the ten weeks of 1840 9, it appears that the lowest number occurred in the corresponding week of 1845, and was 786, the highest in that of 1849, when it wes 1,075 ; the average of the ten weeks is 925, which, if augmented in the ratio of assumed increase of population, becomes 1,009. This last number exhibits a high average mortality for autumn, and places the present state of the public health in an advantageous point of view. The deaths from the epidemic class of diseases. were 1114 week 207 ; in the three previous years (1847 9), taking the same week in each, the deaths from epide mics were respectively 327, 448, and 372. But it is an important fact to be observed, that the present de crease of mortality is almost entirely confined to the juvenile part of the population; in no corresponding week of the previous ten years have the deaths of young persons under fifteen years been so few as in last week, for the lowest number, which occurred in 1841, was 390, and the highest, which occurred in 1848, was 531. The following statement shows the deaths in three periods of life : Average of Ten Last Week. corresponding Weeks (184 C-9). 459 297 From birth to 15 years... 365 15 to 60 years 60 and upwards lB7 Whence it appears, further, that whilst the rate of mortality now prevailing approaches the average amongst persons of middle age, it actually exceeds the average with sexagenarians and others at an advanced period of life. The diseases which attack the young, small-pox, measles, scarlatina, and hooping-cough, prevail much less fa tally than usual. Fever, how ever, seems to increase. Last week it carried off 55 persons ; in the previous week the number was only 36, and the average is about 40. Four of the cases now registered occurred in the London Fever Hos pital. Diarrhcea and dysentery were fatal in 57 cases, which rather exceeds the average. The only instance in which cholera is mentioned is recorded in the following terms :—ln Bethnal-green, Hackney road subdistrict, at 23, Ann's-place, on the 10th of October, the widow of a sergeant in the army, aged 81 years, died from bilious calculi in the gall-bladder causing diarrhoea and cholera (inquest). A woman of 60 years, who had been brought from Edward-street, Barnsbury-road, to St. George's Hospital, died on the 12th cf September of " fever from want and expo sure (six weeks), erysipelas (three days)." Four deaths are ascribed to purpura, an unusual number for this disease. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, 'the mean reading of the barometer was above 30 in. on Satur day; the mean of the week was 29 . 738. The mean reading of the thermometer in the shade was 49 3 in., showing a further fall on previovs weeks, and a tem perature rather lower than the average of the same week in seven years. The temperature fell towards the end of the week. The wind, which was generally in the S.W. in the early part of the week, blew from the N. and N.N.W. on the last three days. The following selections are made from the regis trars' reports : In Marylebone, All Souls' sub-district, at 40, Foley-street, on the Bth of October, the son of a cabinet-maker, aged 12 years, died of " dysentery." The medical attendant adds that "the drainage of the house is excessively neglected ; the stench rises to every apartment, and several cases of dysentery have oc curred in the house." In Pancras, Somers-town, at 4, Hampden-street, on 4th October, a master bricklayer, aged 54, died of " hydrothorax (1 month)." Mr. Matthews describes the house as "consisting of three rooms in front only. The drains are very offensive, and no privy is con nected with the house." In St. Giles-in-the• Fields (south sub-district), at 2, Coal-yard, on the 6th and 10th October respec tively, two boys, aged 6 years and 4 years, died, the former from "scarlatina (2 weeks)," the ;atter from "scarlatina (1 week), dropsy (2 weeks)." In Poplar, at Old Ford, Bow, on 3d and 6th Oc tober respectively, the son and daughter of a car penter, aged two and four years, died of "scarlatina," the former after four days', the latter after five days' illness. In the Strand district, liberty of the Rolls, at 1, Acorn-court, on 7th October, a master tailor, aged 52, died of " gastritis subacute (many weeks), diar rhoea (7 days)." Mr. Jones states that " this court is very close and ill-ventilated." In St. James, Bermondsey, at Providence-build ings, on Bth October, the son of a labourer, aged four months, died of " pneumonia (ten days)." Mr. Martin describes this as " a close court on Jacob's Island, where the drainage is very bad." Also at 3, Caroline-court, on 4th October, the son of a labourer, aged nine months, died of "chronic diarrbcea." "This is a narrow court on Jacob's Island ; the drains over flow, and the house is rendered so offensive as to compel the inmates to keep their door open, though it is within 4 feet of the privy." It is remarkable (adds the registrar) that all the seven deaths registered last week occurred in localities where cholera prevailed most severely last year. In Whitechapel, at 9, Dolphin•court, Christchurch, Spitalfields, on 4th October, the daughter of a coster monger, aged 16 months, died of " convulsions after diaracea. The house (says Mr. Mason) is dirty and crowded. Also at 5, Maidenhead-court, Christ church, on 10th October, the son of a carpenter, aged 11 months, died of" mesenteric disease (2 months)." " The house is crowded, and surrounded by soap and other manufactories." The following deaths were also recorded during the last week : A daughter of a clergyman, aged 11 years, died of " purpura (3 wedis), sanguineous apoplexy (3 hours)." Post mortem. The son of a carpenter, aged 14 months, died of " tabes mesenterica, purpura (7 weeks)." A daughter of a wood-carver, aged 17 years, died of" purpura hmmorrhagica (3 days)." A daughter of a scale-maker, aged 18 years, died of " purpura (3 months), haemorrhage, epiataxis (8 days), meltena (6 days.)" A daughter of a labourer, aged 10 years, " typhus (3 weeks), dothin-enteritis (1 week). " The widow of a tailor, aged 63 years, died of " pa ralysis (1 .month)." Post mortem. A needle was found in the capsule of the kidney.
