At last Lord Lo vaine elicited from her that what she did say to Har wood was, " You have been in a row and lost your Zacket, like a snake that has slipped its shuck." The ench being unable to get any further information out of Mrs. Seabrook, the prisoners were asked if they had any questions to put to her. Jones asked how it was she knew that it was he who came to her house on Saturday to see Levi Har wood ? Witness—Because I saw you. Jones—lt was dark. Yon did not hear me speak, did you ? Witness—Do you suppose I did not know you ? I'saw you both standing together outside the door and talking. This terminated the evidence adduced during the sitting, and [ay~o Ll'.

COLLISION BETWEEN A FRENCH AND ENGLISH MAN OF-WAR.—An unfortunate collision between the Spy, 3, Lieutenant-Commander Western, and a French man-of-war steamer, occurred during the night, a short time since, on the coast of Africa, arising from some mistake in the night signals. The Spy hoisted the usual signal, which was not seen by the French. Fortunately no lives were lost, but the spars and rig ging of both vessels were damaged. Aid, lighter, sailed on Saturday morning from De vonport, with stores for Portsmouth. Avon, steamer, at Devonport, is to be commissioned as a tender to the Impregnable, in lieu of the Fearless. The crew of the Fearless to be transferred to the Avon, when the Fearless will be sent to the eastward to wait further orders. _ _ Banshee, ex-Holyhead steam-packet, Master-Com mander Smithett, arrived at Woolwich on Saturday afternoon, to have one of her boilers taken out. Ca radoc is also to have one taken out, and the vessels are then to be tried against each other. Bellerophon, 78, Captain Baynes, C. 8., may now be hourly expected at Devonport. She was towed through the Straits of Gibraltar by the Janus, on the 11th instant. Camel lighter, Faben master, arrived at Devonport on Friday morning from Exmouth, with the furniture of Rear-Admiral Moresby, and has discharged it on board the Portland. Dragon, 6, steam-frigate, Captain 11. W. Giffard, assisted from a perilous position, with loss of fore topmast and jibboom, a Dutch merchant ship, and towed her into Gibraltar, on the 15th. Hercules store-ship, Master Commander Fulton, was towed from Greenhithe, on Saturday morning, by the Monkey and the Advice, to the Downs, on her way with stores for Gibraltar and Malta. Vesuvius, advanced steam-sloop, will tow the Port land, 50, Captain Chads, out of harbour into the Sound this day, and will then prcceed round the Ed dystone to try her engines. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Retribution steam , frigate, Captain Warden, came into harbour to-day under steam. During her late trial to Queenstown she averaged a speed of 7i knots, and with sails from 9 to 10 knots. She is very buoyant and will be armed with six more guns, and have her complement in creased 30 men. The Pluto steam-vessel from the coast of Africa, is hourly expected here, having left Fayal the 26th ult. The Dauntless screw steam-frigate, Captain Hal stead, had arrived at Queenstown, and was coaling on the 23d. She embarked a number of seamen, ap prentices from the Wizard instruction brig, and sailed for Lisbon. The Imaum, 72, and Inflexible steam-sloop, were at Port Royal on the 28th of September; the Inde fatigable, 50, was at Greytown; the Persian, 12, was at Corn Island, Mosquito ; she has been very sickly and lost four or five men, and many of her crew were then on the sick list. The Bermuda schooner was at Carthagena, en route to Jamaica ; she also had been sickly, but her crew were recovering; the Alarm, 26, was at Antigua, which had also been sickly ; Mr. Congreve, her purser, died on the 23d of September. The Lily, 12, ommander Bedford, arrived in Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, on the 4th of Au gust, en route to the East Indies and China. The Heroine, 8, and Dolphin brigantine, arrived at St. Helena on the 26th of August from Ascension, and sailed on the 29th for the cruising ground. The Success American trader arrived at Spithead yesterday afternoon from London, and sailed this af ternoon for Sydney. The Sprightly steam-tender sailed this afternoon for Plymouth. WOOLWICH, OCT. 26.—The Lightning steam vessel, Master-Commander Petley, arrived here on Friday from Devonport, where she had conveyed supernumeraries for service in the Portland, 50, which is making ready at that port as flag-ship on. the Pacific station. The Caradoc, sister steam-vessel to the Banshee, is hourly expected at Woolwich, having been ordered round from Portsmouth. The Jasper steam-vessel, in charge of Master- Commander Henry William Allen, of the Black Eagle, and the Monkey steam-vessel, have pro ceeded with the Hercules storeship, Master-Com mander Fulton, to take her through the Downs with troops and stores on board for Gibraltar. The Advice steam-vessel returned to Woolwich this evening, after accompanying the Wasp steam-sloop to Greenhithe. The Iphigenia (old frigate) having had her masts taken out here, was towed back to D-ptford on the same day (Thursday last), to be broken up at that dockyard. The Geyser steam-sloop, Commander Tatham, was taken out of the basin in the afternoon of to-day, and remains at moorings opposite the dockyard, prepara tory to leaving for the Brazils. The Wasp steam-sloop, Commander Crozier, left at one o'clock P.M. to-day for Plymouth and the coast of Africa. The taking out her ballast and substitut ing a 32-pounder gun of 56 cwt. for the 68-pounder of 87 cwt. at her stern, considerably altered her im mersion, and when she left her draught of water was 13 feet 5 inches forward and 14 feet 9 inches aft, her former draught being 13 feet 7 inches forward and 16 feet 2 inches aft. The foot leverage attached to the steering-wheel of the Rosamond steam-sloop is the invention of Captain Fayrer, and was fitted by Mr. Robinson, and not the invention of Lieut. Robinson, as previously stated. SIR Jour' Ross's EXPEDITION.—The arrival of two carrier-pigeons from the Felix, in which Captain Sir John Ross proceeded to the northern regions, is not credited, and the account given in the Ayr Adver tiser of their being first seen tends to throw great doubts of their being any of the pigeons given to the gallant captain previous to his leaving Ayr. The Advertiser says the pigeons were first seen at An narck, some distance from their original dovecot, and assigns as a reason that the cot was shut up. Those acquainted with the character of carrier pigeons feel convinced they would have continued for days on the top or near the cot where they were formerly reared or kept, and must have been seen by their owner or persons connected with the place. It is also scarcely to be credited that two of the legs of one of the pigeons should have been shot off without wounding any other part of the body if it had been fired at when flying. A PLAN FOR REEFING TOPSAILS FROM THE DECK WITHOUT SENDING MEN ALOFT.—This most ingenious contrivance has been fitted on board one of the Penin sular and Oriental Company's vessels, the Iberia, and found to answer admirably. The sail reefs itself, and from the time the yard is lowered it is close reefed in two seconds. The reefs may be again shaken out, and the topsail at the masthead in twenty seconds. In nau tical affairs this contrivance is nne of the wonders of the age, and must be rapidly brought into general use. The invention is not expensive, because the present sails and topsail-yards can easily be altered, at an expense not exceeding 151. per yard and sail. The inventor, Mr. H. D. P. Cunningham, R.N., late secretary to Admiral Moresby, has taken out a patent, and we have no doubt he will be amply repaid for the time and trouble he has bestowed. It is well known to officers that many a reef is kept in during the night, and in consequence the ves sel's progress retarded, on account o f a disinclina tion to send men aloft, more particularly if the weather be wet. With this admirable con trivance sail can be taken in, and again made, in a short space of time without sending a man aloft. The invention is of more importance to th e commercial marine than to the royal nave; but, of course, it is equally applicable to both, and must manifestly save much anxiety and do away with the risk of losing men off the yards when reefers in bad weather, more particularly in frosty weather, off Cape Horn, &c., We trust this talented gentleman will be more successful with this than with his other admirable inventions; we par ticularly allude to his plan for checking the recoil of heavy guns by means of compressing the air in a small cylinder fitted under the breach of the gun. As regards the former invention, he is in the hands of the Superin tendent of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, at Southampton, who has given him every assistance and support in bringing it to perfection. Fortunately, in this instance, he has difflrent materials to deal with, for no jealous feeling can by any possibility arise between the navy and artillery. This feeling has been the cause of many ingenious contrivances being burked, apparently because the suggestion did not originate with themselves. ---Portsmouth Times and Naval Gazette. Not the least wonderful part of the Exhibition which is to be opened next year will be the edifice within which the specimens of the industry of all nations are to be collected. Its magnitude, the celerity with which it is to be constructed, and the materials of which it is to be composed, all combine to insure for it a large share of that attention which the Exhibition is likely to attract, and to render its progress a matter of great public interest. A build ing designed to cover 752,832 superficial feet, and to have an exhibiting surface of about twenty-one acres, to be roofed in and handed over to the Commissioners within little more than three months from its Com mencement, to be constructed almost entirely of glass and iron; the most fragile and the strongest of work-' ing materials, to combine the lightness of a conserva tory with the stability of our most permanent structures—such- a building will naturally excite much curiosity is to the mode in which the works connected with it are conducted, and the advances which are made towards its completion. Enchanted palaces that grow up in a night are confined to fairy land, end in this material world of ours the labours of the bricklayer and the carpenter are notoriously never ending. It took 300 years to build St. Peter's at Rome, and thirty to complete our own St. Paul's. The New Palace of West minister has already been fifteen years in hand, and is still unfinished. We run up houses, it is true, quickly enough in this country, but if there be a touch of magic in the time occupied, there is none in the appearance of so much stucco and brick-work as our streets exhibit„ Something very different from this is promised for the great edifice in Hyde-park. only is it to rise with great rapidity, but in every other respect is to be suggestive of Arabian Nights' remembrances. In its favour the window law is to be ignored, and 900,000 superficial feet of glass, weigh ing upwards of 400 tons, are to be used in its construc tion. Not a stone nor a brick will be employed throughout the spacious structure, which is to rest upon 3,300 cast iron columns, and to be strengthened and kept together by 2,224 girders of the same ma terial. The plan of it which has been published re presents an edifice in every respect qualified to be come the repository of specimens of the world's in dustry ; the basement and two upper tiers diminish ing in area as they ascend, and thus securing a graceful variety of outline, while the monotonous effect of a façade 1,848 feet long is broken by a spacious transept. This transept, 408 feet long and 72 feet wide, will be arched, and will rise to the height of 108 feet, inclosing with in it, as in a glass case, a row of trees, which respect for the park timber has induced the Commissioners to spare. The roof of the entire building, resting on the cast iron girders, will be what is technically called " ridge and valley," and will look like an undulating sea, the whole being covered with canvas to exclude the rays of the summer sun and prevent any inconve nience arising from excessive heat. This will be the case in every part of the structure except the transep', where the presence of trees render light necessary, and where, therefore, the arched glass roof will remain uncovered. When closed in and completed, the view presented by the interior will, it is anticipated, be won derfully graceful and splendid. The central avenue, 1,848 feet long, 72 feet broad, and 66 feet high, with rows of pillars shooting off from it on either side, and so arranged that the eye can traverse freely to every part of the building, must have a very grand appear ante. Care has been taken to have the columns upon which the whole fabric rests distributed with such re gularity that no confusion or forest-like effect can be produced by them. It will be the same in all the avenues as in the central one, although there, from its proportions and the entire absence of galleries or upper flooring to break the perspective, the view presented will be most imposing. Besides the immense space thus devoted to the ge neral purposes of the Exhibition, there will be on the north side of the building a room set apart for the re ception of machinery. The dimensions of this apart ment are on a scale proportionate to the important branch of inventive industry to which it is to be de dicated. It will be 946 feet long, 48 feet broad, and 24 feet high. Another feature of the building will be the refreshment courts, which, in accordance with the aristocratic spirit of the country, are to be divided into three classes. Those whose means and tastes incline them to patronise the first will discuss the de licacies of the season under the branches of the trees which occupy the north end of the transept; those whose habits of life are less ambitious, or whose pa lates are less discriminating, must move westward ; while for the crowd of humble visitors the requisite accommodation will be provided on the north-east side of the building. To enter into further details with reference to the interior plan would needlessly complicate this descrip tion, and would be inappropriate at present. It may, however, be right to mention that while from north to south and across the breadth of the structure the flooring will be perfectly level, from west to east it will be slightly inclined, like the stage of a theatre, though not of course to the same extent. This, it is he lieved,will add much to the effect of the interior, by en abling visitors at the lower end to see almost at a glance over the whole edifice. Though from north to south the flooring will be quite horizontal, the land slopes a little, and this enables the architect to give the building on that side the appearance of a raised foundation, which will be faced with green sod. The advantage of this to the external beauty of the prin cipal facade it is almost unnecessary to point out. A light iron railing will inclose the building at a dis tance of eight feet from its exterior, and beyond that there will be a footpath. The grand entrance will be nearly opposite the Prince's gateway, and will have seven pairs of doors. Ample arrangements have been made, however, for the entry and exit of visitors at other points. The exterior surfaces on the first or ground tier will not be of glass, but of wood, for the purpose of greater security, and also to afford a wall space for such articles as require to be hung up in order to be seen to advantage. To enumerate in de tail all that this great undertaking embraces would be an endless and perhaps rather a tedious task, but some conception of the work to be performed may be gathered from this—that the calculations of Messrs. Fox, Henderson, and Co., the contractors, estimate, among other requisites, 34 miles of gutters, 202 miles of sash bars, and 8 miles of table for exhibiting. Turning from the building as it is to be to what has already been performed, it will be found that con siderable progress has been made. It is now a month exactly since the actual work of construction com menced. In that time the foundation pieces on which the columns rest have nearly all been fixed upon their beds of concrete, and the earth filled in around them. The columns required for a large section of the southern and central parts of the building have been put up and connected together by girders. The framework begins to indicate the form of the future structure, just as the ribs and bones of the mammoth at the British Museum shadow forth what the animal must have been when alive. The graduated outlines of the structure ascending tier above tier, the cathe dral-like effect of the transept, and the long extended avenues and rows of slender pillars, branching off sym metrically on either side of them, can already be dis cerned. Sleepers and joists for the flooring have been laid in one or two parts, and one small piece of window framing has been fixed in its place. The external facing of the ground tier has been commenced, and while the framework of about one-third of the structure is in a for ward state nearly every detail of the work has been begun. Messrs. Fox and Henderson have already one small crane es tablished on the girders for hoisting up materials, and in a few days they will have several more. The rapidity procuringmo Henderson, labour.nghiaemu w ss et the h s requisite with which the building p ro g resses may be estimated from the fact, that t wo columns and three girders can be fixed in about fi fteen minutes. While the actual labour of constru ction p roceeds a vast amount of preparatory work goes o n simultaneousl y . Nearly all the wooden arches requir ed to s p an the transept are completed. Sash bar , window frames, intermediate bearers and gutte rs, are g ot ready by hundreds of workmen under s h ed s, formed hastily of floor planking. The hydraulic press is at work testing the strength of girders, and a few fires are lighted to prepare the wrought iron bolts by which the c o l umns are made fast to the connecting pieces bet ween th em . Piles of material of every kind are collect e d i n ever y part of the ground, and it is believed th a t th ree -f our th s o f all that will be required are already d epos it e d w ithi n th e h oar di n g.

A portion of it is prepared at mills taken for the purpose at Chelsea, and the rest on the grounds. When the weather is wet, this part of the work, which is carried on under cover, is pushed forward. When it is dry the fixing of columns and girders is proceeded with.; Gas has been laid on in the grounds, and the toils of the day are continued frequently as late as eleven o'clock at night. Within a commodious set of offices the heads of departments regulate the work and prescribe the division of labour to be pur sued. Here, too, a room has been established for draughting plans of the building, in conformity with which it is to be completed. A considerable por tion of the work is done by the piece, and no diffi culty is found in procuring any amoun t of hands that may from time to time be required. Every morning they assemble in great numbers at the en trance ready for employment, and when engaged they turn out very efficient wor k men. S uc h a sup ply must be regarded as one of the most important facilities which a great city like London presents for the execution of an undertaking like this. An ingenious system of cheques by means of variously shaped brass tokens has been introduced to determine the number of hours per day for which each man has been occupied, and the remuneration to which he is entitled. The whole business of the contractors seems to be carried • on in the most systematic and orderly manner; and what is very remarkable is the little noise or bustle with which the work proceeds. When the materials of which the building are chiefly com• posed are recollected this will be the more easily un derstood. Nearly everything is brought on the ground ready to be put up, and the loudest sound that reaches the ear is the occasional clink of a ham mer " closing rivets up." Over so large a space the noise of labour is lost, and the building rises almost as silently as did Solomon's temple. The contractors still speak with perfect confidence of their ability to construct and roof .in the whole before New Year's-day. They have within the last month done a good deal, but in the two that still re main to them they will find their energies fully taxed to do all that still remains to be accom plished. If within the limits of time presaribed to them they succeed in carrying out so extensive and elaborate a plan as that which they at pre sent contemplate, they will merit the utmost praise; but before even the letter of their contract the safety of the public must be placed, and we do trust that every precaution will be adopted to prevent the possi bility of accidents hereafter. Of late years many circumstances have occurred to shake the confidence which was at first reposed in iron structures. Sus pension bridges and railway termini have been giving way and falling in from comparatively slight causes —the smallest defect in a part, the snapping of a ro d, or the shaking of a pillar, by disturbing the distribu tion of forces, often brings down the whole fabric. The new building in Hyde-park is a novelty in archi tecture—and a novelty upon a grand scale. It is to be provided with many galleries, where specimens of industry will be exhibited, and where, therefore, crowds of visitors will assemble to inspect. Consi dering the materials used, therefore, it is most im portant that every care should be taken to insure the safety of these galleries. Messrs. Fox and Hender son say that they have adopted every precaution in this respect, and that their calculations of strength are such as to render an accident from the crowding of spectators impossible. We trust that it may be so, and we think it due to them to state that a minute examination of the progress already made in the work has impressed us with a high sense of the efficient, orderly, and expeditious manner in which it is carried on. This is the more remarkable when the novel character of the structure is remembered, that novelty removing it out of the routine habits of those engaged in the labour of construction. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN. - At a recent meeting of the inhabitants of Kilburn and its vicinity, to receive the report of the deputation Eppointed to wait on the directors of the London and North- Western Company, it was stated that the directors would take measures for the construction of a station at Kilburn, so soon as the new route by the East and West India Dock Railway, from Chalk Farm to the Blackwall Railway, shall be completed. Every ex ertion on the part of the inhabitants would be made to improve the approaches to the intended station and to obtain the removal of the turnpike gate, which at present forms a barrier to the entrance at Kilburn. The Bell Tavern gardens having been considered as the most eligible site, the landlord of the tavern ex - pressed his willingness to do everything in his power to assist the directors in forming the station by letting them have the requisite land at a reason able rate. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON.— It appears that arrangements have been entered into with this company by the Shrewsbury and Ches ter and Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Com panies for working the line, when completed, between Worcester and Dudley. It is expected that the arrangement will be mutually advantageous to all parties; that it will enable the Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton Company to complete the best portion of their line, and that it will have the effect of increasing die traffic on the other two lines. The Oxford line will join the Stour Valley line at Tipton, and passengers will be conveyed over it from Worcester to Wolverhampton, and thence over the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, and Shrewsbury and Chester Railways, to Shrewsbury, Chester, Birken head, and Liverpool. CLYDESDALE JUNCTION. —The committee of share holders, appointed to confer with the Caledonian Railway directors respecting the guaranteed shares of the above company, state that while counsel strongly recommends a compromise in consequence of the points at issue being very complex and involved, he at the same time advises the immediate institution of legal proceedings by all against the Caledonian Company, that those parties who have had recourse thereto might not obtain a preference. The commit tee recommend this course to be adopted by the share holders to protect their interest, and, with a view to save expense, to co-operate with the Messrs. Baird. They conclude by stating that if any reasonable pro position of compromise be made they trust that the shareholders will accede to it. CAE.NARVONSIIIRE.----SurveYs for a line from Bangor, on the Chester and Holyhead Railway, through the north-west of Wale., are now being made, and should all the landowners be favourable, the line will be commenced at once, and made during the winter from Bangor to Port Dinorwic. RAILWAY RATING. --At the various Quarter Ses sions just held, the important question of railway rating, in connexion with the railway companies ap pealing against assessment, has come under the con sideration of the magistrates with different results. in the case of the Midland Railway, on the section of their line from Derby to Leeds, arrangements have just been made with the seventy parishes along the line, 1'.)37 which a reduction of about one-third on the sums paid for parochial rates during the last six years has been agreed to. The magi s t ra t es have confirmed the rate of 5001. per mile i n t h e t o wn of Wolver hampton, on the Shrewsbu r y an d Bi rm ingham Rail way, against the claim of the com p a ny to be rated at only 150/. per mile, the amount of assessmen t on other portions of the line. The S out h-E a stern Company have been assessed at 5001. per m il e on their Isle of Thanet line ; but their appeal against being rated for their Chilian line has been respited until the decision of the Court of Queen' s B enc h on the general ques tion of railway rating i s ma d e k no wn. An order ha s been served on the company for pa yment of the rates on their Folkstone line, otherwise a distress will issue ; and an order has likewise been issued against the London and North-Western Railway for payment of the rate of 468/. per mile in d for by the corn instead of 1001. per mile, as contende the Saddleworth district, RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS• BRISTOL, Oar. 26.

HARWICH, OCT. 2G.—We regret to announce that another emigrant ship has been totally wrecked on the Gunfleet Sands. The particulars are as follows : On Sunday last the barque Johana Friedrich, of 400 tons, Captain Whieting, left Bremen, with 140 emi grants and a crew of 16 hands. She was bound far Charleston, South Carolina, and besides her passen gers had a general cargo valued at 2 000 dollars. All went on well until the evening of Thusday last, when the Gunfleet lights were sighted, and, by a fatal error, were supposed to be the South Foreland lights. The ship's course was steered under this impression, when, at nine o'clock, the night being dark and rainy, the vessel struck heavily on what proved to be the Gunfleet Sands. In an instant consternation spread throughout the ship, and every passenger, including many women and children, hurried to the deck. The masts were speedily cut away, and other efforts made to lessen the heaving of the ship, and to get her off, but all with no avail, as on the: pump being sounded there was found sia feet of water in her hold, besides other indications that the vessel was hopelessly lost. The captain, who throughout behaved admirably, had a number of ropes passed across the ship, which the passengers grasped in order to maintain their footing. In this way a weary and wretched night was passed, all of them expecting that the vessel would every moment go to pieces. At eight the next morning (Friday) they were descried by the crews of several smacks, who immediately went to their assist ance. The tide had left the vessel with but little water round her, so that the smacks' boats could not get alongside. The women and children were first lowered from the ship's side, and, aided by several men, waded through the water to the boats, by which they were conveyed to the smacks. In this way all were safely taken from the vessel, and 140 of them were ultimately landed at Harwich, the last number of them landing as late as one o'clock on Saturday morning; the re• maining passengers were landed at either Colchester or Brightlingsea. The captain and two mates re mained on board the barque until four o'clock on Friday afternoon, hoping that the vessel might yet be saved, but as the sea rose she rapidly broke up, and became a total wreck. Messrs. Billingsley and Co., the Bremen vice-consuls at Harwich, paid every attention to the emigrants, Mr. Williams, one of the firm, particularly exerting himself. The passengers are very grateful for the way in which they are being treated. It is supposed that they will remain in Harwich until another ship is provided for them. The barque belonged to Messrs. Glogstein and Son, Bremen, and was not insured. EXTENSIVE SWINDLING. BATH, SATURDAY.—George Rowland Hill, a man about 31 years of age, who had succeeded in swind ling a large number of the most respectable tradesmen of this city out of goods to a considerable amount, was placed upon his trial this morning at the quarter sessions held at the Guildhall before Mr. Jardine, the Recorder. The greatest interest has been excited in the case amongst the trading community, in conse quence of which the court was crowded in every part. Mr. Hodges conducted the prosecution, instructed by Mr. Williams, solicitor, and also by Mr. W. G. Gray, as solicitor to the Wilts and Somerset Trade Protection Society. Mr. T. W. Saunders and Mr. F. T. Allen, instructed by Mr. Cheshire, solicitor, of Cheltenham, defended the prisoner. There were four indictments against the prisoner, each containing several counts, in which he was charged with obtaining goods by false pretences from Messrs. Reynolds and Holman, linendrapers, of Union-street; Mr. Clement, ironmonger, of Burton street; Mr. Hayden, cabinetmaker, of Stall-street; and Messrs. Gully, ironmongers, of New Bond-street. The first case proceeded with was that of Messrs. Reynolds and Holman, from whom the prisoner was charged with fraudulently obtaining carpeting, &c., to the value of between 701. and 80/. The following are the particulars of the prisoner's transactions, as gathered from the evidence, which was very volumi nous : The prisoner, in the latter part of 1849, came to Bath, and opened shop as a cabinet maker in Bal lance-street, where he employed several workmen, and appeared to be carrying on a flourishing business. Having thus succeeded in making himself known, in the early part of June of the present year he COl3l. menced his fraudulent proceedings. Going to the shop of Messrs. Reynolds and Holman, he represented to them that he had been employed to furnish a house for the Rev. Mr. Dangerfield, at Stroud, in Glouces tershire. lie said the job would amount to between 5001. and 600/., and that he was to be paid as soon as the work was completed, which would be in five or six weeks' time. He also told the prosecutor that he should require carpets and druggets, window-cur tains, &c., to the amount of 601. or 701, and asked to be allowed to have such goods as he might re quire to be paid for as soon as the R ev . M r . Dan gerfield discharged his account. Upon the representa tions made by the prisoner Messrs. Reynolds and Hol man allowed him to select et that time carpeting to the value of 221. In two or three days afterwards a letter bearing the Stroud post-mark was received from Hill by the prosecutors, in which he stated that the carpeting was not sufficient for his purpose, and that he must have some more of the same pattern, or, if they had not more of that, he must have the required quantity in a new pattern, and he would send back that first had. Having no more carpet of the first pattern, Messrs. Reynolds and Holman sent a bale of another pattern, but that first sent was never returned, and subsequently other goods were obtained by the prisoner, amounting altogether to between 701. and 80/. From Messrs. Gully, Hay den, Clement, and other tradesmen, the prisoner suc ceeded in obtaining goods to a very large amount upon the same representation of having to furnish a house for the Rev. Mr. Dangerfield, and very inge niously contrived to make some of his victims July to Inspector stroud to Dunne, make of the uinquiries, e 5 8, andat Bath re ferences, by which he became the better enabled to obtain the property of others. Suspicion was at l eng th the epo naturexlciietee-df'oarcned in ; went and extent of the fraud became at once apparent. No such person as the Rev. Mr. Danger field existed, and the prisoner himself occasionally went by the name of Dangerfield, in order to effect his purpose. It was alsodiscovered that he had had sales at Tetbury and other places for the disposal of furni ture. On proceeding to Cheltenham the officer disco vered a large quantity of furniture of every descrip tion, including a great portion of that obtained from the tradesmen of Bath, besides between 100/. and 2001. worth not identified. At the railway station were several articles directed in the prisoner's hand writing to persons of different names, and to be left there till called for. A watch was set, and after a while a cartload of the goods was fetched from the station. The cart was followed, and the prisoner se cured as he was receiving the goods at a place called Charlton Kings. Here a bale of carpet belonging to the prosecutor was found in an unoccupied house, where it had been deposited by a brother-in-law of the prisoner, named Thomas Window. On the bale was a direction to Window in the prisoner's hand writing. In another unoccupied house, next door to where Window lived, more property was found, and in a loft which the prisoner's wife had taken for the purpose were discovered two or three waggon loads of furniture of every description stowed away. On his way to Bath the prisoner said to the officer, " I am glad it is stopped, for I don't know where it would have ended if I had gone on with that Win dow." Further discoveries clearly proved that the bu prisonerbusiness inß acted t uponh was p a re colourable concert ed affair plans, for promoting and that the fraud. The jury found the prisoner Guilty , whe reu p on an arrangement was entered into between the counsel on each side that judgment should not be pressed for on the other cases if the prisoner pleaded guilty to them, and so enabled the property obta ined by him to his sentence, re be returned to the owners. fer T re h d e toLtehaernseedrionßsecorder, is Pa d,andsinß en said he should character of the offence of which the prisoner had been convict inflict upon him the utmost punishment the law would g Hi l l i s „gi v e of Gloucestershire, and well months o h n a v r i d c t l e a d bo o n f r a felony, an d p al o l r o t w ed . foTrhseevpernisreaerrsw. as then sentenced to be trans known in Stroud and Che ltenham.

The coroner read the whole of the evidence from the commencement, and summed up in a most able manner, especially commenting on that part of the evidence which bore against the accused. The jury deliberated for about two hours, and returned a verdict to the following effect, via. :—" That the de ceased, Ann Jones, met her death through poison, but that there was not sufficient evidence to show by whom a dministered." Upon that fact being made known, Captain Freeman, chief constable of the county constabulary force, entered into consultation with a neighbouring magistrate, the result of which was that a charge was preferred against the accused The accused was remanded until the 29th instant, in order to afford time for Mr. licrapath, of Bristol, to be again present, and accordingly a summons fur that gentleman was issued yesterday.—Cambrian, Friday. POISONING AT CONISCLIFFE MOOR HOUSE, NEAR DARLINGTON. Mr. George Young ; farmer, of Coniscliffe Moor House, about throe miles from this town, was taken suddenly ill one night in the early part of the month of September last, and was attended by Dr. Jackson and Dr. Peacock, both of Darlington. They found him labouring under severe pains in the bowels, accompanied by violent retching mid sickness, and his symptoms continued in creasing in violence until the follywing night, when he died. Both doctors were present at his death, and Dr. Jackson entertained suspicions that poison had bten ad ministered to the deceased, and intimated his fears on the subject to Dr. Peacock. Deceased was, however, buried. The suspicions as to the cause of his death having got abroad, and various rumours prevailing as to domestic discords in deceased's household, owing to the allegi d incontinence of his wife, they were at length formally conveyed to Mr. Settle, the deputy coroner for Stocton ward. Accordingly on the 12th inst., the remains of the deceased were exhumed, where they had lain nearly five weeks, and an inquiry was held before Mr. Settle, at the Hope lon, Sedgefield. At this inquest, Thomas Hayes Jackson, surgeon, then deposed that the deceased was a healthy man up to March last. On the 9th of that month, Dr. Jackson was called to see deceased, who appeared to be labouring under severe inflammation of the bowels, and was suf fering groat pain. Deceased recovered from that illness in the month of May. On the night of the Ist of Sep tember, witness was again called in, and found deceased in bed, complaining of severe pain in the bowels and stomach; he continued vomiting violently, and on the night of the 2d September he died. Witness had sus picions that death was caused by poison, and had, after the funeral, communicated his suspicions to Dr. Pea cock, who had also been in attendance. Deceased had remarked to witness that he had had a great deal of trouble in consequence of family disturbances, and had said he did not think he should recover. Witness had assisted at the post mod tem examination of deceased, and from the appearances presented, had not the least doubt that the deceased had died from the effects of poison. After hearing this evidence, the jury recommended that the stomach and other organs should be transmitted to a competent gentleman for careful analysis, in order that the presence of poison should be tested. The inquiry was resumed on Tuesday last, when Dr. Glover, of Newcastle, gave evidence of having examined the organs to detect the presence of poison, and after a most careful analysis, he had obtained satisfactory evi dence of the presence of arsenic in those organs. After receiving this evidence the inquest was again adjourned until next Tuesday, in order to collect further evidence. Superintendent Robson, of the Darlington police, proceeded on Wedoesday to Conisclifro Moor House, for the purpose of searching the premises. He there found a packet of arsenic, labelled " poison," on the top of a press. The widow of deceased was present, and ap peared considerably agitated, but expressed no surprise at the discovery. At present the of air is shrouded in considerable mystery; but it is anticipated that consi derable light will be thrown on the subject at the next investigation. THE FRIMLEY MURDER. On Saturday, at 11 o'clock, the examination of the prisoners in custody charged with the double crime of murder and burglary at Frimley was again re sumed before the magistrates at Guildford. Mr. Best, the chairman of the bench, presided, and there was a numerous attendance of magistrates, probably arising from the expectation that the accused at the close of the day's proceedings would be finally com mitted for trial. This expectation, however, it will be seen, has not been realised, the prisoners having again been remanded till Friday next. The evidence adduced possessed no great novelty or interest, being to some extent a repetition of details which have already been made public, and where fresh facts were adduced they were merely such as supplied blanks in the indirect proof of guilt. When the prisoners were one by one brought into the court-room their appearance was narrowly watched, hut indicated no material change. Samuel Harwood's face looked paler on entering, and became flushed as if with strong excitement as the inquiry proceeded. Levi Harwood also, though the confident daring recklessness of his manner and expression had suf fered no visible abatement, seemed to be more thought ful and concerned about himself. His complexion had acquired a less healthy hue, and the muscles of his face and throat were in constant motion. Jones looked quite as well, if not better than at the previous examination ; and Smith, the approver, appeared to be more at his ease, though his eyes were still for the most part bent timidly on the ground, and he never once directed them to where his companions in guilt were standing. This man has quite the slim active figure of a burglar, while all the rest in build and expression lo o k like footpads. A curious piece of pantomime occurred during the proceedings on the part of the prisoner Jones, which, singular to say, was only observed by one or two people in a crowded room. The accused were drawn up in a semicircular form at the entrance of the court-room, a turnkey be ing placed between each of them to prevent comma - nication. During a pause in the proceedings, Jones who had managed to fall behind a little, caught Levi kar wood's eye unobserved, and clenching his fist at the same time, and slightly raising it, with a motion of his lips, and a glance at Smith, he very significantly conveyed the kind of treatment the approver would receive if an opportunity ever offered. The only other point worth noticing in the conduct of the pri soners was the manifest delight with which they beard some of Mrs. Seabrook's replies to the interrogatories of the chairman, Mr. Best. Mr. Neale, an attorney, in Guildford, who, it:will be remembered had made several unsuccessful appli cations to the magistrates to be permitted to commu nicate with the prisoners in a professional capacity, was present in court, and watched the case on behalf of Samuel Harwood. Mr. W. S. Holiest, brother of the deceased, as on former occasions, appeared, and took an active part in the proceedings. The first wit ness called was George Everest, the gamekeeper, who repeated the evidence given by him before the Coroner, as to the finding of the " worm-bit." Sergeant Kendall, of the detective police force, proved that the holes in the scullery door broken open at the Rev. Mr. Hollest's corresponded with the " worm-hit." He also produced a bolt taken from this door, and a portion of the window sill, on both of which he found marks, which in all probability were produced by the " worm-bit." Mr. William S. Holiest produced the masks, the silver communion cup, and several other things handed to him for safe custody, and the chairman de sired him to retain possession of them until the trial. The witness suggested that some hairs which had been found adhering to the masks should be compared Inspectorcold io be l lin identified proprietydrewthe attention of m a ki ng as to a inquiry corduroy cap which had been f oun d, an d - which he believed oo could Levi H arwood—l ne v er wore suc h a cap i n my life, and if Mrs. Se a b roo k say so, s h e spea k s fa l se l y. The Chairman desired the prisoner to hold his tongue, but he did no t seem a t a ll di spose d to comp l y wi▪ th this order, and grum bli ng l y sa id, th a t if w it nesses sai▪ d what was untrue, it was time to speak out. Sergeant Kendall stated that the cap found was believed to be a workhouse cap, and in the meantime, as it was not in court, the inquiries with respect to it were not further proceeded with. Harriet Seabrook said that Levi Harwood left her house on the evening of Friday, the 27th of last month, and did not return until the following even ing, between seven and eight o'clock. She saw Jones there a few minutes after Levi Harwood returned. I Ile did not come in, but remained in the lane out side, and left after a few minutes' conversation with Levi llarwood. When Levi Harwood arrived he went into the tap-room and sat down as usual. Mr. Hollest—Did you speak to him ? Witness-- No. Mr. Holiest here cautioned the witness to spPsk the exact truth, or he would call sonic one to contra dict her. He then repeated his question, and Witness said she believed she had said to him, " You have been in a row and lost your jacket." A long interrogation of the witness ensued on this point, Lord Lovaine, Mr. Best, and Mr. Holiest, by turns, putting questions to her, but the only answers elicited were that Harwood appeared to be in his usual state ; that she had heard him say nothing to her or any one else; that be was always a quiet young man, and never said much. She admitted that three country men who came in during the evening had talked of the Frimley business in the presence of Har wood, but he said nothing about it. She was then PREPARATION OF FLAX. We were yesterday favoured with an inspection of a new process of preparing flax, by which the delay, waste, and expense connected with the present modes of its preparation are entirely . obviated. Our readers are probably aware that, under the or dinary mode, the flax is steeped for periods varying from eight to fourteen days, and under Schenck's pa tent system of steeping in heated water, recently in troduced into Ireland, the period required is not less than sixty hours. Under the ordinary method of steeping great care is required to prevent the fibre of the flax from being completely destroyed, and not withstanding the attention which is usually bestowed upon this branch of the process, large quantities of flax are constantly injured to such an extent as to render it all but valueless. Under Schenck's system, where the water is required to be gra dually heated by steam, from eighteen to twenty hours, until it arrives at a temperature of 85 to 90 degrees, .and.the flax remains in the water for sixty hours—is • afterwards dried in summer by spreadinglt thinly on grass-land, and in winter upon ranges of shelves in a building connected with the " vat house," and heated by means of steam-pipes-- the operations are of such a nature as manifestly to render the system unsuitable to the great mass of the flax- growers. Under the new system, however, the whole of the operation of steeping is dispensed with, and we wonder how such a step could ever have been resorted to in the preparation of flax, unless it were intended thereby to increase the expenses, to seek unnecessary risks, to waste time and labour, to deteriorate the fibre, and to throw as many difficulties as possible in the way of its successful and profitable preparation. The chemical properties of the plant appear to be such as to render totally unnecessary the application of anything like a steeping process, while, so far from benefiting, it only weakens, and, to a great extent, destroys the valuable fibre. But the complete absurdity of the process is most strikingly shown by the dye or stain which the steeping necessarily gives to the fibre, and the large quantity of injurious substances which always adheres to the fibres after the operation of steeping, and which it is necessary to remove subsequently by the tedious, expensive, and destructive process of bleaching. In effect it is the same as though the growers of cotton were, previous to its being shipped, to cause it to be saturated with a dye, and afterwards to have it rolled about on a sandy beach, leaving it to be subsequently cleaned by the manufacturer. One of the greatest difficulties connected with the manufacture of linen is that of weaving it sufficiently close in consequence of the dirt which adheres to the fibre, and which scarcely any amount of scutching is able to remove. The unsteeped process of preparing the flax com pletely obviates all these difficulties, and places the fibre in the hands of the manufacturer with none of its oleaginous properties destroyed, free from dirt and dye, and of considerably greater strength as com pared with steeped flax. The rapidity by which the flax may be prepared may be judged by the fact that, during our visit, a quantity of the stalks in the state in which they were pulled, with the bolls of seed upon them, passed through their several stages, and within one hour was handed to us in the shape of beautifull silky-looking fibre, almost as white as the paper on which we now write. We are not at liberty to state the process by which this result is arrived at, as the patent for the invention has not yet been secured ; we may state, however, that the whole operation is so perfectly simple that a child may with ease accomplish it, and that, although we had not seen the process before, we were ourselves able, with out further instruction, to produce a small quantity of tine fibre from the plant. The process has, we believe, met with the cordial approbation of Lord Clarendon and a number of noblemen and gentlemen interested in developing the industrial resources of Ireland, who have had the opportunity of witnessing it. Application has been made to the Board of Trade for a charter of incorpo ration to carry out the patent, the company un dertakieg to purchase, at the rate of 121. per acre, exclusive of seed, the produce of 100,000 acres of flax in Ireland. They also propose to allow the use of the patent, to supply the machinery, and to provide instructors to those growers of flax who may possess the means, and who are anxious to afford employ ment to their own labourers in the preparation of the fibre. The inventor of this process also claims a patent for a mode of saturating the seed before its being sown, which has the effect of rendering the crop more than usually prolific, of diminishing the extent of the ligneous properties of the plant, and producing a degree of fineness in the fibre which has not yet been attained. A quantity of the geed so prepared was last year sown by a gentleman at Tullagh, near Cork, and the produce exceeds three tons to the acre ; and such is its quality, that the grower has been offered 51. per ton for his crop, exclusive of the seed.—Morning Chronicle.

TIIE GREAT AGRICULTURAL MOVEMENT IN THE GROWING Os' FLax.—A company, compris'ng many of the leading nobility and landowners, is seeking from the Govern ment a royal charter to give encouragement to agriculturists and farmers to bring into immediate cultivation at least one hundred thousand acres of land in Ireland, for the pro duction of flax straw, which substance the promoters of this charter have (by new and peculiar processes never hitherto adopted) the power to convert into a fit state to hold com petition with the best flax imported from foreign countries, without the aid of steeping, kiln-drying, or mill-scutching. The machinery by which the fibre is separated from the stalk without steeping is of a very simple and inexpensive kind, requiring no previous knowledge to work it. The un steeped thax is uniform in strength, and free from stains, as that all the after processes of manufacturing and bleaching may be conducted with a facility and exactness not hitherto attainable. OBTAINING MONEY UNDER. FALSE PRETENCES.-- At the public office, Birmingham, on Thursday, Mr. Paul Birch (who has been for upwards of twenty years in the ser vice( of Messrs. Wheeler and Co., jewellers, of Bartlett's buildings, Holborn, London, and of St. Paul's-square, Bir mingham), was brought up on a charge of having committed a number of frauds upon his employers, under the following circumstances :—The defendant was employed as foreman at the Birmingham establishment, and a part of his business was that of paying the men their wages weekly, taking a proper account of the time each man worked, and to trans mit a weekly statement of all moneys received and disbursed to his employers in London. For some time past suspicions were entertained that Birch was in the habit of rendering fraudulent balances by a system of charging for men's wages a greater amount than he had paid them in consideration of the number of hours they had worked. In order to test this Messrs. Wheeler sent on a particular day for a workman named Mordaunt to town unknown to the defendant; not withstanding this, in his weekly balance Birch charged for Mordaunt six days' work (1/. as.), although he had only paid to him 11. 10d. Other frauds of a similar character were brought forward, and from the evidence it appeared that this sptem of fraud had been carried on for some time. The prisoner was committ, d for trial. At the time he was taken into custody he had 7001. of his own money in the hands of his employers. OCT. 23.—0 n Tues day night, at about eleven o'clock, the schooner Thetis, of Preston, Strickland master, from Dieppe, left this port for Liverpool, with a cargo of flour, was run into by the schoorur Shepherdess, of Llanelly, Morris master, from Ply mouth for Wales, she having, at six A.m., come out of Mount's Bay. The concussion was received by the Thetis in her waist, immediately after which she turned on her beam ends, when her captain and his wife, and the crew, consisting for of Falmouth, a c lm r whereov er , bottom up. landed ,four handY, got into the boat and took refu g e on board the Sh ep h er dess, the poor woman escaping in her night - dress. A boat shortly after went f rom the She p herdess t o endea vour to pick up or take off some of her stores, and, when e w p e i n i e t r y d her, e fe ss et th fr e o n m made she ae e e u n r e h d , the unfortunate people on the following morning. It i i likely, from the nature of the cargo of the Thetis, that s h e will not go down, but will be made a prize of by some E f t he i Mount's Cey fishermen. The collision took place between the Lizard and the Lingships. The n a line The abou Shepherdess h t stem of the Shepherdess was split, and she makes water.
