HANOVER. The Official Gazette of Hanover publishes the de cree ordering the usual homage of the servants of the State to the new Monarch. The following is the declaration they are required to make:— "As by the decease of our Most Gracious Sovereign and Lord, Ernest Augustus, King of Hanover, &c., the Government of the King of H an over has descendd to the present King, George the Fifth, according to the right of primogeniture, and the patent of the 18th of November, 1851, I rec egnise, according to the homage I have already given, the present reigning King, his Most Gracious Majesty George the Fifth, alone as my legal Sovereign, and promise to be true, faithful, and obedient to him, to promote his prosperity and that of the kingdom to the best of my power; but, as far as pos sible, to avert all injury from them." The Zeitung fur Nord Deutschland says : " The it tyai patent issued yesterday, relative to the accession to the Throne, has produced a favourable im pression, as well by its brevity and simplicity as from the fact that it is in every respect according to the form prescribed by the Constitui in, and promises that it shall be maintained without qualificati.in or condition. When there were so many apprehensions that the reactionary party would gain ground on the change in the succes sion, it is satisfactory to perceive no indications of that result in the acts of the Government. The immediate summons of the Chambers may be expected. (The 109th par. of the law of sth September, 1848, enacts that the Chambers shall be called together within fourteen days after the demise of the Crown. If it is not done those last summoned may a „-emble themselves to main tain the rights of the country ) Of course we assume that the clear meaning of this article will be carried out, but after the interpretations that Constitutions have re ceived in many Paris of Germany, it is no wonder that doubts and suspicions should exist." The Hanoverian Presse has an article to the same effect, adding merely : "As to the continuance of the present Ministry, nothing is decided. We believe, however, that the word of the father will be as sacred to him as his own, even were the latter not already pledged to the recognition of the new order of things." If the Chambers are summoned, it is supposed their session will not occupy more than a month. Tne Weser Zeitung states that A long struggle preceded the dissolution of Ernest Augustus; according to an arrangement made some years ago, the King will be buried in his uniform of an English Field-Marshal. The body, according to the same directions, will lie in state for eight days; if the physicians wish it, it may be opened, but the head and breast are not to ba injured. If the body is not opened, a vain of the neck is to be divided before burial. The ceremony of the laying in state had commenced on the 20th." BANK OF FRANCE.

FAILURE OF THE SUNDERLAND JOINT- STOCK BANK. SIINDEALAND, SATURDAY.—Yesterday morning the Sunderland Joint-Stock Banking Company stopped pay ment. This company was established in 1836. with a capital of 100,000/. in 101. shares, 71. 10s., or 75.0001., of this capital being paid up. The immediate cause of the stoppage, it is stated. was, that the London and Nest• minster Bank refused to discount its paper; the remote cause, losses by failures in the town,—a large manufac turing firm some years ago, and a shipowner this year, having failed, with a balance considerably on the wrong side of the bank book. The operations of the bank were limited to the town, and, as the tradespeople did not generally keep their accounts with it, the stoppage will not be extensively felt. The bank was known in the town as the " Methodist Bank," the directors if it principally belonging to that body, and from this circumstance its business was somewhat of a class character. Its stoppage will be felt most severely by small shiphuil,lers, whose work is sub let to them by large capitalists. Its deficiencies are stated to amount to 20,000, but probably they will be no more. The proprietary is limited, and some of the shareholders are substantial men. The only fear is that the pressure will come too heavily upon them at first. The deposits a•nount to about 24 0001., and there seems to be little fear but that the depositors will be paid in full. The 'corporation nark d with the company, and his 1,700/. d.post:ed the Sunderland Joint Stock Pr •- m'um As , ociation, 5 0001, and a shipowner, also, has a considerable awn locked up. There are about 4,500 shares in the bands of persons able to pay all demands, and, as the deficiency only amounts to about the sum stated, it will appear that the further loss to the there holders will ❑ot tar exceed 51. s share. A meeting of the shareholders was held yesterday, when a call of 21. 10s. per share was made. DESTRUCTION OF A WHALE SHIP BY A SPERM WHALE. (From the Panama Herald, Oct. 16.) We have just received the following thrilling ac count of the destruction of the whale-ship Ann Alex ander, Captain John S. Deblois, of New Bedford, by as large sperm whale, from the lips of the captain him self, who arrived in this city from Paita on Sunday last in the schooner Providence. A similar circum stance h as never been known to occur but once in the whole - history of whale fishing, and that was the de struction of the ship E . isex, some twenty or twenty five years which many of our readers fully re member. ago, and proceed to the narrative as furnished us by Captain Deblois,and which i s f u lly au th en ti ca t e d by nine of the craw in l i p e r x otest under the seal of the United States Consul, The ship Ann Alexander, . Ruden, a t P a it a . Captaini S. D e bl o i s , s a il e d from Ne w Bedford, Mass., June 1850, for a cruise in the S,iuth Pacific for sperm whale.st Having taken about 500 barrels of oil in the Atlantic,tie ship pro ceeded on her voyage to the Pacific. Nothing of un usual interest occurred until, when passing Cape Horn, one of the men, named Jackson Walker, f Newport, N. H., was lost overboard in a storm. Reaching the Pacific, she came up the coast a n d stopped at Valdivia, coast of Chili, for fresh provi sions, and on the 31st of May . last she called at Paita for the purpose of shipping a man. The vessel pro ceeded on her voyage to the South Pacific. On the 20th of August last she reached what is well known to all whalers as the " Off-shore ground," in latitude 5 deg. 50 min, S., long. 102 deg. W. In the morning of that day, at about nine o'clock, whales were discovered in the neighbourhood, and about noon th same day they succeeded in making fast to one. Two boats had gone after the whales—the larboard a m n a d to, sta a r n h i n t a he rd,the former com man d e d by the first which th ey hadlatter by C a pt a i n D e bl o i s. Th e w h a l e boat. After struckrunning was harp oone d b y th e l ar b oar d n riish gs i ome time the whale turned upon the boat, and at it with tremendous vio lence, lifted op en its enormous r jaws, a n d t a ki ng th e boat in, actually crushed it into fragments a s sma ll as a common-sized ch a i r . Deblois i mme di ate l y struck for the scene o f the dlinsaalstll expectation i n res er with th e star b oar d w boa', and succeeded against a cuing the whole of the ore of the boat, nine in number. There were now eighteen me n in the starboad boat, consisting of the captain, the tirst mate, an d the crews of both boats. The frightful disaster had beenwit nessed from the ship, and the wave boat was called into readiness and sent to their relief. The distanc e from tlie ship was about As miles. As soon as the weikte bot arrived, the crew› were divided, and it was deterrptiAd to pursue the same whale, and make an °tiler *,llat:k upon him. Accordingly they separated, and ded at some distance from each other, as is usual firijsuch occasions, after the whale. Ina short r THE SUN, time they came up to him, and prepared to give him battle. The waste boat, commanded by the first mate, was in advance. As soon as the whale perceived the demonstration being made upon him, he turned his course suddenly, and making a tremendous dash at this boat, seized it with his widespread jaws, and crushed it into atoms, allowing the men barely time to escape his vengeance by throwing themselves into the ocean. Captain Deblois, again seeing the perilous condi tion of his men, at the risk of meeting the same fate, directed his boat to hasten to their rescue, and in a short time succeeded in saving them all from a death ' little less horrible than that from which they had tw i ce so narrowly escaped. He then ordered the boat to put for the ship as speedily as possible, and no sooner bad the order been given than they discovered the monster of the deep making towards them with his jaws widely extended. Fortunately tho monster came up and passed them at a short distance. The boat then made her way to the ship, and they all got on board in safety. After reaching the ship a boat was dispatched for the oars of the demolished boats, and it was deter mined to pursue the whale with the ship. As soon as the boat returned with the oars, sail was set, and the ship proceeded after the whale. In a short time she overtook him and a lance was thrown into his head. The ship passed on by him, and immediately after they discovered that the whale was making for the ship. As he came up near her, they hauled to the wind, and suffered the monster to pass her. After he had fairly passed, they kept off to overtake and attack him again. When the ship had reached within about fifty rods of him, they discovered that the whale had settled down deep below the surface of the water, and as it was near sundown, they concluded to give up the pursuit. Captain Deblois was at this time standing in the night-heads, on the larboard bow, with craft in hand, ready to strike the monster a deadly blow should he appear, the ship moving about five knots, when work ing on the side of the ship he discovered the whale rushing towards her at the rate of fifteen knots ! In an instant the monster struck the ship with tremen dous violence, shaking her from stem to stern ! She quivered under the violence of the shock, as if she had struck upon a rock ! Captain Deblois immediately descended into the forecastle, and there, to his horror, discovered that the monster had struck the ship about two feet from the keel, abreast the foremast, knocking a great hole entirely through her bottom, through which the water rushed and roared impetuously ! Springing to the deck, he ordered the mate to cut away the anchors and get the cables over board to keep the ship from sinking, as she had a large quantity of pig-iron on board. In doing this the mate succeeded in re leaving only one anchor and cable clear, the other having been fastened around the foremast. The ship was then sinking rapidly. The captain went to the cabin, where he fuund three feet of water; he, how ever, succeeded in procuring a chronometer, sextant, and chart. Reaching the decks he ordered the boats to be cleared away, and to get water and provisions, as the ship was keeling over. He again descended to the cabin, but the water was rushing in so rapidly that he could procure nothing. He came upon deck, ordered all hands into the boats, and was the last himself to leave the ship, which he did by throwing himself into the sea and swimming to the nearest boat. The ship was on her beam-end, her topgallant yards under water. They then pushed off some distance from the ship, expecting her to sink in a very short time. Upon an examination of the stores they had been able to save, he discovered than they laad only twelve quarts of water, and not a mouthful of provisions of any kind. The boats contained eleven men each; were leaky, and night coming on, they were obliged to bail them all night to keep them from sinking! Next day, at daylight, they returned to the ship, no one daring to venture on board but the captain, their intention being to cut away the masts, and fearful that the moment that the masts were cut away the ship would go down. With a single hatchet the captain went on board, cut away the masts, when the ship righted. The boats then came up, and the men, by the sole aid of spades, cut away the chain cable from around the foremast, which got the ship nearly on her keel. The men then tied ropes round their bodies, got into the sea, and cut a hole through the decks to get out provisions. They could procure nothing but about five gallons of vinegar, and twenty pounds of wet bread. The ship threatened to sink, and they deemed it imprudent to remain by her longer, so they set sail in their boats and left her. On the 22d of August, at about five o'clock, P.M., they had the indescribable joy of discerning a ship in the distance. They made signal, and were soon an swered, and in a short time they were reached by the good ship Nantucket, of Nantucket, Massachusets, Captain Gibbs, who took them all on board, clothed and fed them, and extended to them in every way the greatest possible hospitality. On the succeeding day Captain Gibbs went to the wreck of the ill-fated Ann Alexander, for the purpose of trying to procure something from her; but as the sea was rough, and the attempt considered dangerous, he abandoned the project. The Nantucket then set sail for Paita, where she arrived on the 15th of Sep tember, and where she landed Captain Deblois and his men. Captain Deblois was kindly and hospitably received and entertained at Paita, by Captain Ba thurst, an English gentleman, residing there, and subsequently took passage on board the schooner Providence, Captain Starbuck, for this port, arriving here on Sunday last, the 12th inst. KOSSUTH. (From the North Wales Chronicle.) We have long taken it to be a mark of sound good sense—of real honesty in the Herald, Standard, and Post, that knowing the free-trade principles of Kossuth, they should so long have taken his part, and should con tinue to take his part, against the liberal (?) Times, and free-trade Chronicle. It has been asked—how can we con sistently take the part of a man so opposed to the Protec tion and Conservative principles which we have ever maintained? The humiliation felt in answering this simple question is heightened by the fact that we have again and again explained the reasons which have made us such sympaehizers with the Magyar cause, and this too, though perfectly aware that Kossuth is quod a modo a Free-trader. But why is he so? The simple truth is that every Hungarian patriot must be, relatively speak ing, a Free-trader. Whit has been the commercial relation in which Hungary has stood to Austria? Com mercially it has been crewed as a foreign country. Heavy import and export duties were levied on goods ceasing to Austria from Hungary. A long series of vexatious imposts and taxes awaited the merchant and traveller on the frontier ; exportation was prevented, and everything was done to keep Hungary in a state of seelusien from foreign intercourse. This is the evil which Kossuth. has violently and consistently attacked, and we maintain that this protection of Austria against Hungary deserved attack. Commercially, Hungary aLd Austria ought to have been considered as one country. Dr. B.ch seems to have done his best to destroy the commercial, but effect the political unity of the two. For let it never be supposed that Austria and Hungary are politically one country. They are no more one than Britain and Hanover. What would have been said, if on the death of William IV., Queen Victoria had gore to war with Hanover, because her constitution excluded females from her throne? If we had opposed such a flagitious war, should we have deserved the name of Radical; should we not rather have been Conservatives in the highest degree. What difference is there between the case put and the relation of Hungary to Austria? None whatever. Hungary in its proper acceptation com prehends-1. Hungary proper, including civil Sclavonia, Croatia, and the Heyduke districts. 2. Transylvania. 3. The Military Frontier. All these countries are, legally, parts of the Kingdom of Hungary, and are sub ject to the King of Hungary, who, merely by chance, happens to be Emperor of Austria. He is not neces sarily so—any more than a King of England is neces sarily King of Hanover. The following is a more ac curate description of the whole Kingdom of Hungary. Hungary Proper comprehends: — A. Eleven Comitats or Counties beyond or west of the Danube, containing 2,000,000 of people B. Thirteen counties on this side or east of the Danube, with nearly 3,000,000 of people. C. Eleven counties on this side the river Theiss anc. Tibiscus, with 2,000,000. D. Twelve counties beyond the Theis:, including the Banat, with 2,500,000. E. Sclavonia, with three counties, Syrmia, Verocz, and Posega, and 500,000 people. F. Croatia and Separate Districts. Thus making Hungary Proper to consist of 10,000,000 of people, and 87,000 m il es . 11. Transylvania, including the Magyar, the Zechler, ` u t' Saxona rrThe Districts, Frontier, t 5,2.000 intended to guard against ,000 of people, and twenty five counti es , on May 30th, 1048, was incorporated with ung the Turk, Varadin, Sclavonia , includy regiments, generalatz—of Carlstat, Ban, Banat, an d T ransy l van i a , w hi c h are divided into twenty 5 e o gta it o nts, and the same number of communities, with 2,0 ooef i rople, and 15,000 miles. Thus the whole kingd om Of ie T here not knowledge ngary, independent of mile a Austria, comprehends 126,000 ssan 14,000,000 of Austrian l Empire? besaid,r Hungary really a ut history of i ,, e middle ag e s is requisite andwe d w g e e o wouldf the p ° part pl o e f . the ß ! t really wish that those who talk so much of Kossuth would study it. They would find that the first Prince of the House of Hapsburgh (the celebrated castle near Brugg, in Switz-irl ,nd) who reigned in Hungary was Ferdinand I, And how did he gain possession of the throne—by conquest or by succession? No, he was elected by the Deet in 1526, and chosen by the suffrages of a free and gallant people. The succession on certain terms was fixed in the imperial family in 1687. and since the termination of the civil wars in 1711 the House of Austria has held possession of the country. We have said that the union on the part of Hungary was volun tary. The worst of the Haprburgh Emperors never till lately ventured to ignore this glaring fact. The two countries had a common sovereign, but the power of the King of Hungary has always been more circumscribed than that of the Emperor of Austria. But further, the y, e th e " r u v ngEmperor F rancis J osep h re f use d to swea r to °b right& of th, iia , igarian crown and people. He thereby much lost the confidence of his subjects as James 11. did when he broke his coronation oath. Were those w h o brought in Willi IIL rebels? Were I LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, they not Conservatives in the highest degree? How were Batthyani and his illustrious coadjutors different from the friends of the Prince of Orange? All they wanted was that the young Emperor should swear the same oath as his predecessors, and that Hungary should not be treated as a dependency of Austria. But why take into confidence, it will be asked, a newspaper man like Kossuth—a liberal—a man from the ranks? We are yet to learn that the duties of newspaper editors are incompatible with those of statesmen. Many of the London writers, who keep their names concealesl, have as much political power as Girardin of the Prese. We know ourselves one or two hacks whom Ministers carefully conciliate; but we can think of no single man who bad more influence in Hungary among high and low, rich and poor, than Kossuth the journalist, whose abilities, and whose disinterestedness Count Batthyani was obliged to bring to bear in the then dangerous state of the kingdom. Liberal and Free-trader as he was, Kossuth was glad to join with Conservative magnates to rescue his fatherland from aggression, and it is because he dropped his liberalism, and defended the good old conservative and decentralizing cause of Hungary against tha grasping and centralizing conduct of Austria, we give Kossuth our heart sympathy. Unhappily, Bat thyani and Kossuth failed, but Francis Joseph has yet to find that he has politically cut off his right hand in de grading the Magyar, We can imagine the advent of a time when the Emperor will be glad of the aid of a Kossuth to support his Imperial crown against Russia; but when Kossuth, forced by Imperial shortsightedness to become a citizen of another land, will remain deaf to the solicitations of his former King. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 24. (Sittings in Banco.—Micbaelmas Term.) M'DOUGALL V. PATERSON. _ _ Mr. Baddeley had obtained a rule in this case, which was an action in the Sheriffs' Court, calling upon the defendant to show cause why the Master should not tax and allow to the plaintiff his costs of the action. The affidavit of the plaintiff's attorney alleged, that having on the 23d of July, 1851, ob tained a verdict against the defendant for the sum of 91. 9s. 6d. before the Sheriffs of London, o❑ a writ of trial to them directed, in the cause, the plaintiff applied on the 7th of August to Mr. Justice Patteson for an order to tax the costs, on the ground that the plaintiff dwelt more than twenty miles from the defendant, and consequently the case was not one in which the county courts had jurisdiction; but the Learned Judge dis • missed the application, and endorsed on the back of the summons, " I think there was concurrent juris , diction ; but no sufficient reason given why the plain tiff sued in a superior court." The plaintiff's affidavit alleged that he does now, and did at the time of the commencement of the action and the suing out of the writ of summons therein, dwell and carry on his business as a woollen draper more than 30 miles from the defendant—namely, at Inverness, and not elsewhere, and that the defendant dwelt in the county of Surrey, and carried on his business in the county of Middlesex ; that the plaintiff never had any permanent dwelling or place of business in London, but came there every summer before the shooting season, and took lodgings and a show-room for pat terns while he remained in London, and that this year he had, i❑ addition, a stand at the Exhibition in Hyde Park. The action was for woollen goods sold in 1843 and 1844, and sent to the defendant from Inverness; that in May, 1850, the defendant gave a promissory note for the amount of the debt-91. 14s. 6d. ; and that in default of payment the plaintiff commenced the present action. On the other hand, affidavits on behalf of the defendant alleged that the plaintiff dwelt and carried on his trade or business at Golden-square, in the county of Middlesex, yearly and every year, and that he had continued to do so i❑ the present year from before, and at and during the progress, and at the conclusion of the action ; that the goods for which the action was brought were ordered at that place ; that the promissory note given for them was never pre sented for payment ; that the case was of the plainest and simplest character, and peculiarly fitted for the adjudication of a county court; and that the de fendant prayed he might not be deprived of the economy and advantages afforded by that tribunal. Mr. Luse showed cause against the rule. It was moved for under the County Court Extension Act, 13th and 14th Tict., c. 61, s. 11, 12, and 13, which provide that if any plaintiff in any action within the jurisdiction of the county courts recovers in a superior court a less sum than 201, the plaintiff shall have judgment to recover such SUM only and no costs, ex cept the judge certify that it appeared to him at the trial that there was a sufficient reason for bringing the action into that court; but that if the plaintiff shall make it appear to the satisfaction of the Court or of a judge at chambers that the action was for a cause in which concurrent jurisdiction is given to the superior courts by the County Courts Act, 9th and 10th Viet., c. 95 sec. 128, the courts or the judge at chambers may thereupon direct that the plaintiff shall recover his costs. The Court of Exchequer, in Jones v. Harrison, and in Palmer v. Richards, 20 Law Journal Reports, decided that this power was discre tionary in the judge; and the Court of Queen's Bench, in Latham v. Spedding, 20 Law Journal Reports, decided that the onus of proving that he was entitled to costs was cast on the plaintiff. In the present case, the Learned Judge having an option, had exercised it, and he submitted that the Court would not interfere. Mr. BADDELEY, in support of the rule, argued that the decisions of the Court of Exchequer on this sub ject were wrong. The County Courts Act, 9th and 10th Vict., c. 95, s. 128, provided that, notwithstand ing that Act, certain specified actions might be brought in the superior courts; and s. 129 express') excepted such action from the rule as to costs. The County Courts Extension Act, 13th and 14th Vict., c. 61, expressly incorporated the previous statute, and if so the plaintiffs were entitled to their costs under the Statute of Gloucester. It had been decided that in Acts of Parliament the word " may" frequently means " shall," and so he submitted it should be held that the permissive word in this section was, in point of law, directory on the judge, and that where it wa , made out to his satisfaction that the superior court had concurrent jurisdiction he was bound to award the plaintiff his costs. After some deliberation the Lord Chief Justice said : We entertain some doubt whether it is suffici ently established by the affidavits that the plaintiff dwelt and carried on his business in Golden-square at the time the action was brought; and also whether, if he did, and also dwelt in Scotland, he was not, within the meaning of the Act, dwelling more than twenty miles from the defendant. We will, therefore, consider that point. With respect to the other point, the Court see very cogent reasons for arriving at a conclusion different from that of the Court of Exche quer; but as the matter has been twice argued and decided in that Court this Court will take further time to consider the question. As, however, the matter is of importance, and may frequently arise during vacation, we will sit on Friday week for the purpose of delivering our judgment.—Judgment post poned. the prisoner)—A special note will be made of this, and if you ever come here again you will most certainly be transported. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. D. W. Hunter, a man employed in the warehouse of Messrs. Hyam and C0.,0f 59 and 60, Houndsditcb, was brought up in the custody of Funnell, of the City detective police, for final examination before Alder man Wire upon the charge of having robbed his em ployers. Mr. Hobler appeared for the prosecutor. . _ Funnell having received information from those who suspected the prosecutor of dishonesty, watched him on the evening of the 6th of November, and fol lowed him from place to place until a proper oppor tunity of apprehending him occurred. A young man of respectable character, who knew the prisoner, and was in his company on the night of the apprehension, was also taken into custody, and having had dealings with the prisoner, was very near being seriously im plicated in the charge; but it appeared, upon strict investigation of the case, that there was no ground for the accusation. The prisoner was committed for trial. Walter Hodges was charged with having robbed his employers, Messrs. Rogers and Co., of thirty-four yards and a half of merino, value 6/ 183. Inspector Mitchell took the prisener into custody at the warehouse of his employers in Watling-street, and upon telling him with what he was charged, re- ceived from him a full acknowledgment of the offence, with the addition that he had committed otner rob beries upon his masters, and sold the articles he had stolen to his mother. Other evidence of the guilt of the prisoner was produced, and the prisoner was committed. William Rastall was charged with having broken into the warehouse of Edgecombe and Sturgeon, of Bread-street, trimming manufacturers, his employers, and stolen 21.25. 4d. Inspector Mitchell—l was informed that the pri soner was suspected of having broken open the desk in the counting-house of the prosecutors, and I took him into custody. At the Bow-lane station-house he told me that he had oae shilling about him, but I found a sovereign in one of his boots. I asked him what he had done with the other sovereign, and he replied that he had lost it in the Blackfriars-road. It was proved by witnesses in the employment of the prosecutors that the prisoner, who performed the duty of messenger, had gone to the warehouse at an earlier hour than usual, and had gone down through a trap-door in the passage into the cellar, from which there is another trap-door leading to the warehouse, which latter trap-door it is supposed he had left un locked the night before, in order to take advantage of that mode of entrance at a seasonable opportunity ; that he had been seen returning from below by a ser vant girl; and that he had gone away contrary to custom immediately afterwards without permission of the clerks. The prisoner was committed. David Barnard was brought up for final examina tion upon the charge of having stolen several watches, the property of his employer, Mr. Vend Gorr. The prosecutor said that while he was in a deplor able state of sickness, which at one time it was sup posed would have been fatal, the prisoner, who had the complete command of the valuable property in the shop, robbed him in one night of thirteen watches, and that since that robbery bad been detected twelve more watches had been missed from the premises. The officer who apprehended the prisoner said he confessed that he had committed the plunder of the thirteen watches, and that he had been urged to rob the unfortunate invalid by a man named Friedeburg, who contrived to rob the original thief, and never gave him a share of the proceeds. The prisoner was committed. William Rewe was committed for embezzling 101., which he had received for his master, Mr. E. M. Williams. The ALDERMAN regretted that he seldom or never sat on the bench without being obliged to send for trial parties charged, and in many instances under circumstances proving the deep ingratitude of the accused, with having committed robberies upon their employers. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Nov. 24. Thomas Macintosh, 23, and Ellen Madden, 20, were indicted for stealing the sum of 41. and a watch chain, the property of James Connor. The prosecutor's wife—a smart, good-looking, young Irishwoman—deposed that she was in service, and that her husband had a situation at Camden town. On the night of the 9th instant they met by appointment, and went to a lodging house in the neighbourhood of St. Giles's, and hired a lodging foe the night, and she, having undressed, placed her pocket, which contained three sovereigns, two half sovereigns, and a watch-chain, under the pillow. As she was about to get into bed, the female prisoner, who was a kind of servant in the house, entered the room and told her that the bed belonged to a young man lodger, and asked for the key of the room, but neither she nor her husband was willing to remain if the key were taken away, and accordingly they put on their clothes and left the room, the prisoner having persisted in demanding the key. On reaching the street she recollected that she had left her pocket under the pillow, and at her request her husband went back to the room for the purpose of getting it, but he did not succeed. From the evidence of a police-constable, and a confession made by the female prisoner before a ma gistrate, it appeared that after Connor and his wife left the room, she (prisoner) found the pocket under the pillow, and gave it to the other prisoner, who was in the room with her, and he left the house with it. Mrs. Connor gave Madden into custody, and from what she communicated to the police Macintosh was taken into custody on the following day. Madden admitted that she took the pocket, and ►aid she gave it to the other prisoner, who, however, when called upon for his defence at Bow-street, positively contra • dieted her. Madden's confession was put in as evidence. _ _ _ _ • Mr. O'BRIEN addressed the jury for Macintosh, urging that, independently of Madden's statement, which could not legally affect him, there was nothing to implicate him. Mr. William, in summing up, told the jury that what bad been said by Madden with regard to Macin tosh could not be received as evidence against him, but was very important as regarded her. The jury found both prisoners Not Guilty. Mr. WITHAM —Both not guilty ! Well, gentlemen, that's certainly a strange verdict after the woman has confessed the fact. The Foreman said at any rate their verdict would have been one of acquittal Us regarded the man ; but they understood the Learned Judge to say that they were not to take the confesaion into consideration at all. Mr. WITHAM said he did not say anything of the kind, but as the verdict was recorded he should not interfere. _ _ The Foreman said they thought the prisoner ought to he acquitted , because the prosecutrix's hu s b an d and the landlady of the house were not called. (To Mr, William—Well, she confessed her guilt. GUILDHALL. William Jameslson, a 'respectably-dressed dimi nutive individual, representing himself as a Quaker, who has from time to time appeared in the aliases of " Chadwick and Co." architects and civil engineers ; " James Wm. Harris," surgeon; " Win. Williams," solicitor; and lately resided at 28, Broad-street buildings, was placed at the bar before Alderman Carter, charged with obtaining money under fraudu lent circumstances. Mr. Vann, of Worship-street, attended for the pro secution, and stated that the charge against the pri soner was that of obtaining 81. Is. from the father of one of the pupils that bad been articled to him, for the purpose of purchasing books and instruments, but which had not been laid out. Prisoner also told the father that he was a Quaker and a preacher at one of the meetings, which satisfied the party as to his re spectability ; but shortly after it was found prisoner had bolted, and the offices in Broad-street- buildings were deserted. He was next found at Hoxton, prac tising as a medical man in conjunction with another party, under whose treatment a child three weeks old died. The next that was seen of him was at the old offices in Broad-street-buildings, where he appeared as a solicitor under the name of Wm. Williams. Numberless letters have been intercepted, addressed to the prisoner, in the various aliases he has assumed, containing half bank-notes to a considerable amount, in answer to advertisements which he has inserted in an Irish paper. hi consequence of the death of the child, a Mr. Austin waited upon the prisoner, who represented himself as Mil son, the rejected Member for St. Albans, at the last election, and at length offered Mr. Aus tin 11/. or 121. to let him off, which that gentleman refused, and then took prisoner into custody. Thomas Hartrop, ironmonger of 96, Upper-street, Islington, said, in consequence of an advertisement he saw in the Times, in August last, lie went to 28, Broad-street -buildings and saw the prisoner, who then appeared as " Chadwick and C 0.," and said he was a civil engineer, and his partner's name was Milson. He also said he had lost the last election for the borough of St. Albans, and that he was a preacher and a Quaker, and a member of the Society of Friends, upon hearing which witness concluded that he was placing his son under the tuition of a very respectable person. Prisoner here said he was a Quaker. Witness—And upon the faith of these representa tions he tendered prisoner 6/ in addition to 11. ls. for the indenture stamp, for which he gave witness a re ceipt, signed in the name of " Charles Chadwick." There was no premium required, but a sum of 301 was to be handed over to the prisoner for the purchase of books and instruments which the pupil would re quire. Witness afterwards gave hi m ano th er sove sove- reign, and the only things that had been bought for his son were a small drawing:board and a few books of trifling value. Witness did not obtain a copy of the articles or indenture until some altercation bad taken place between him and the prisoner relative to certain suspicions he had about the latter's conduct. On the 9th of Novembar instant, he learned from his son that prisoner had vanished with the whole of his architectural apparatus, and that the offices were quite deserted. Prisoner (interrupting witness) said they were not removed by him. Witness said his son's time was almost wholly oc cupied copying out various kinds of advertisements to send to the newspapers. After visiting the pre mises several times, witness found the name of " Chad wick and Co." erased from the door, and in its place " Williams and Co., solicitors," the former name having been transferred to another door. Prisoner, notwithstanding the Alderman's advice to hold his tongue, said he had taught the youth during the time he was with him specifications, taking out quantities, and other preliminary points. Alderman CARTER thought prisoner knew much better how to take in quantities.—(Laughter.) Mr. Austin, Shepperton-cottages,: New North road, said, in consequence of information he received from Dr. Young, he went to the prisoner's house in Murray-street, in the same road, where he was resid ing as " Dr. Harris." When witness saw him, he asked him what he wanted, and he said he was Dr. Harris. Witness said he wished to know if he (pri soner) was permitting a Mr. Bellares to attend his (prisoner's) patients, as a child had lately died under his treatment. Prisoner said he knew Mr. Bellares to be a very respectable young man, and told witness not to mind, for he would bring Mr. Bellares through the difficulty, as he (prisoner) was at the top of the tree in his profession.—(Great laughter.) Witness then said Bellares was in Dr. Young's ser vice, and that prisoner had no right to tamper with him in that way. On Sunday witness went to Mer rion-square, Hackney-road, and saw prisoner with a man who said his name was Wilson. Witness told prisoner he wanted him to go to the police-station to explain certain matters, but he refused to go, and said the man with him was Mr. Wilson, his clerk, and would give any explanation that might be re quired. Witness advised him to go quietly, as he did not intend to let him go. Prisoner then appealed to him as a father and a gentleman to have compassion on him, and said he had been driven to the commis sion of many acts that he would otherwise shrink from, but having offered himself as a representative of the borough of St. Albans, he was reduced to very great distress. He then offered witness 121 to let him go, and say nothing more about it , which he, how. ever refused, and taking a paper from hie. pocket, showed prisoner the following advertisement in the Belfast Chronicle of the 22d October of the present year " MONEY ON MORTGAGE. —A. physician is desirous of lending 0,4001., to be lent in one sum or smaller sums, at five per cent. interest. Persons requiring the above may forward all particulars to Alpha, care of Dr. Uar- NOVEMBER 25, lB5l. ris, surgeon and accoucheur, Murray-street, New North road, London." He looked at it, and acknowledged it as having ema nated from him, but added that he had left off all that kind of work, and intended for the future to pursue a different course. Witness then took him into cus- tody. Witness here stated that he thought it proper to remark, that on hearing of the child's death he went to the authorities, and requested that an inquest might be held, as he understood from Dr. Young that the child had been improperly treated, but he had not heard anything on the subject from them since, the child being buried and no inquest having taken place. Alderman CARTER thought there was a very serious ground of complaint against the authorities for ne glecting such a request, and he hoped the police would inquire into it. Prisoner denied that he had represented himself as Dr. Harris, but alleged that having attended all the lectures at the Hunterian School of Medicine, he visited Dr. Harris's patients from ten till six during the day at that gentleman's request. Thomas Osborne said that a few months ago the prisoner took a house of him in Murray- street, and gave his name, W. Jas. Milson, the late candidate for the borough of St. Albans.—(Laughter.) Shortly after he had been there the name of Dr. Harris was painted on a lamp over the door. Witness never tested the doctor's skill on himself.—(Laughter.) About three weeks after the last quarter day prisoner removed everything from the house except a few medicine bottles in the shop and the lamp over the door, and remained in the house by himself. Subse• quent to this witness called upon him and insisted upon going in. Prisoner, who came to the door half dressed, showed him into the shop and locked him in, and said that if he advanced an inch further he (pri soner) would knock him down. This was the first operation, but witness did not allow the doctor to perform it. He demanded his rent, and prisoner said he had not a shilling in the world. Witness stayed there some time, and at length prisoner putting him at defiance seized his carpet-bag, and some of the fixtures, &c., and bolted, leaving witness alone in pos session of the empty house. Prisoner afterwards re turned and threatened to send witness a writ for maligning his character, and he subsequently received a copy. Mr. Vann here produced a copy of a writ of sum mons, and stated that it purported to be issued on be half of Mr. James Milson, the prisoner, by Mr. Williams, attorney, of 28, Broad-street-buildings, also the prisoner. The most unfortunate circumstance for the prisoner being that the writ appeared to be issued in the Court of Queen's Bench, and tested by Sir John Jervis, who happened to be the judge of a different court altogether.—(Great laughter.) Prisoner said that was the mistake of the attorney. Mr. Vann said there was not the slightest doubt of that. Samuel Rushworth Rodwell, a bookbinder, of New North-road, said that seven weeks ago bis daughter, aged 18, was labouring under scarlet fever, and Mr. Bellares attended her. Witness's wife suggested to Mr. Bellares that some eminent physician should be called in, and he accordingly introduced prisoner as " Dr. Harris." Prisoner went up to witness's daughter, and having examined her pulse, he ordered her a mustard poultice on the back of her ❑eck.— (Roars of laughter.) He then consulted with Bel lares for some time in an under tone. Witness said his daughter was only ill eight days, and recovered. )Ir. Bellares was desired to furnish his account, and he sent a bill of 3/. 55., 2/. 4s. being for medicine, and 1/. Is. which he had paid to Dr. Harris for his visit. Alderman CARTER here observed that Mr. Bellares ought to have been brought before him as well as the prisoner, upon which hint Mr. Austin took an officer with him and started in search of that individual. Daniel James Young, a surgeon, in the East-road, Islington, said he had an assistant of the name of James Bellares, and that he gave him in custody i❑ September last, for stealing a book and the medicine he sent to the child that had since died. The prose cution was ultimately abandoned because witness was unable - to trace the connexion with the prisoner clear enough. Prisoner called on witness on the 4th or sth of September, and said he was Dr. Harris, but witness did not believe him. lie then said he was a son of Harris, the Commissioner of Insolvency, and that he would assist Bellares through the difficulty arising from the death of the child. Witness never received any money from Bellares for attending the child. Prisoner, on finding witness did not believe he was Dr. Harris, referred him to the lamp over his door to verify his statement, and then added that he was also the seneschal of Lincoln.—(Great laughter.) Witness then ordered prisoner away from his door. In answer to a question from the prisoner, witness said he did not challenge him to fight, the invitation came the other way. Witness saw the child when dead, and asked the mother to allow him to make a post mortem examination, but she said she was satisfied with Mr. Bellares' attendance, and refused. The child was then buried, and witness believed that prisoner must have signed the burial certificate, as Bellares was not qualified, being only an assistant, and known as such. Alderman CARTER said this was an important do cument and it should be in evidence; for if it was found prisoner had given a false certificate, it would entail most serious consequences upon him. Mr. Vann then asked for a remand, and asked if he might be allowed to break the seals of the letters containing the half bank notes. Alderman CARTER. said the officer into whose hands they first came might do that, but he could make no order about it. This was such a flagrant case, that he felt interested in having it thoroughly investigated, and if Beltares should be taken in the interim of the remand, he would have him put by the side of the prisoner. The prisoner's application to be admitted to bail was peremptorily refused, and he was removed to the Compter.—Remanded till Monday next. were leaving his brother's lodgings he (witness) offered to go with them to see Davis home, but she would not permit him. Mrs. Corner, the landlady of S warton, said that on the evening of Sunday week the young woman Davis came to her house with her lodger, and she then asked him if she was his wife. Swarton replied that she was not, and requested that she might be admitted ; and at his request, she being very tipsy at the time, she did admit her. Davis remained there for some considerable time, which witness considered very im prudent, as she knew him to be a married man, and when going away Davis objected to S wanton's brother accompanying them. Tne witness, in reply to a question put to her, said that the young woman Davis, while at her house, said, " What a pity it is that Abraham has not a steady wife ; I think be would make an excellent husband by a little coaxing." The husband of this witness wai called, but did not prove anything material, and this being all the evidence, Mr. ELLIOTT observed that the testimony of the witnesses disproved any premeditation on the part of Swarton to seduce the young woman, or that he had administered drugs of any kind to her; and, in point of fact, much of what had occurred was brought on by her own seeking and extreme indiscretion. There could be no doubt, however, that Swarton had been guilty of a serious outrage, and he could not see any reason to alter his former judgment. Mr. Robson observed that he was glad to find that the prisoner's character had been cleared of much of the odium attached to it in the first instance, and this was of more consequence than any pecuniary fine or summary punishment. LAMBETH. It will be recollected that on Wednesday last a young man named Abraham Swarton, in the employ ment of Mr. Robson, wholesale confectioner, in Great Dover-street, Borough, w a s placed a t th e bar b-ifore Mr. Elliott, on a charge, or rather on suspicion, of having administered some narcotic drug to a young woman named Harriett Davis, with a felonious inten tion, and, while in a state of stupor, taking her to sleep with him. From the testimony then given by the complainant it appeared that she, as well as the prisoner, was in the employment of Mr. Robson ; that, at the request of the prisoner, she had met him on the Sunday evening before ; that she had been to his lodgings and to three public-houses with him ; and that on leaving the last she became bereft of her reason, and had no recollection whatever of what happened to her from that time until the following morning, when she found herself in bed with him at a coffee-shop, with one arm round her neck and the other arm over her chest. Finding the extraordinary position in which she was placed, she made an effort to get out of bed, but the prisoner prevented her for some mo ments, and requested her to lie still ; but she strug gled, got out of bed, made the best of her way home, and informed her father and sister of what had hap pened, saying, at the same time, that she must have been drugged, else she could not have been rendered so prostrate and unconscious of what was passing around her. The d e f ence se t u p by the prisoner on that occasion was, that the young woman had got so drunk as not to be able to tell him where she lived, and not knowing where to take or what to do with her, he had taken a bed at the coffee-house for her, and being very drunk himself he determined on stopping with her. He denied having used any violence whatever towards the young woman ; and this assertion appeared borne out by the certificate of the medical gentleman. Mr. Elliott, in the absence of any evidence to prove the charge of drugging or violation, dealt with the case as one of aggravated assault against the prisoner, and convicted him in the penalty of 51., or in default to one month's imprisonment. Since the conviction of the accused, Mr. Robson, his master, has made some communication to Mr. Elliott, which induced that magistrate to consent to hear witnesses for the defence, and yesterday being appointed, the witnesses were in attendance. As soon as the night charges were disposed of the case was called on, when Mr. Robson, addressing the magistrate, said that the young man Swarton had been in his service for some considerable time, and his conduct at all times had been so unexceptionabl e that he was very much surprised at the charge whi c h h a d been made against him. Since his convicti on , how ever, circumstances had come to his (Mr. R o b son ' s) knowledge, which perfectly satisfied him, and he had no doubt on their disclosure would satisfy his worship also, that the young man was the seduced and not the seducer. Mary Ann Marner deposed that she was in the service of Mr. Robson. On Saturday week she heard the young woman Davis, wh o was i n the same employment with her, say that s h e h a d succeeded in making an appointment with " Abraham," and that she had it nearly all to do herself. When asked what she conceived the young w oman meant b y the latter expressions, ons, the witness replied she th oug h t D av i s h a d some difficulty in persuading S warton to meet her. The young woman D av i s , w h o h a d b een sent f or by the magistrate before the case was entered on, here commenced a moaning noise, and made a great effort to provoke a faint, but could not succeed, and was told by the magistrate th a t th ere was no t th e s li g ht es t use in her going o n so. Th e mag i stra t e ' s remar k had aninstantaneous effect ; the fainting fit was cured as if by magic; and f o r th e r ema i n d er o f th e i nq uiry Miss Davis assumed a positively brazen appearance and manner. Swarton, the brother of the accused, said he heard the young woman ask his brother both on Friday and Saturday week to meet her on the Sunday evening, though she well knew him to be a married man. On the Sunday evening he saw Davis at his brother's lodgings, and she took tea there with his brother, who was very tipsy at the time. When they NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

APPOINTMENT.—Mate—Marcus E. Senithett, to the Waterloo. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 24.--The Elphin, royal dis. patch steamer, went to Osborne this morning. Two Dutch barques arrived this morning and came into harbour, the one leaky, and the other dis abled from having been run into two nights ago in the Channel. THE BRAZILS SQUADRON.—The Geyser, 6, steam sloop, Commander Tatham, arrived at Spithead very unexpectedly this day at noon from the River Plata, with the important intelligence of the termination of the war in that district by the defeat of Oribe. She left Rio on the 18th ult., Bahia the 231, and Sr. Vincent's (Cape de Verd Islands) on the 17th inst., and put in at Corunna on the 20th for coals. By the Geyser we learn that the Argentine forces are reported to have joined Urquiza, and the Orientals the forces of Garcon. Monte Video had been illuminated, and great show of rejoicing made there in celebration of the conclusion of the war. The rate of exchange had improved, but the precise rate is not given us. The new flag ship Centaur, 6, Captain Lyster, with Rear- Admiral Henderson, C. 8., arrived at Rio on the 16th ult. direct from Madeira, which place she left o❑ the 231 of September. She found at Rio the Havannah, 26, Captain Erskine, on the way home from Australia ; the Cormorant, 6, Commander Chamberlain ; the Plumper, 11, Commander Nolloth ; the Geyser, 6 Commander Tatham ; the Bonetta, 3, Lieutenant-Com mender Waller, and the Crescent receiving ship, Master Commander Bradshaw. All the ships of the squadron were in harbour. The Geyser is in a bad state, having been ashore some time since. The Bonetta was hove down, having also been ashore to the southward and suffered damage, but which the carpenters of all the ships in harbour had put to rights at the date of our advices. The Harpy iron steam-tender was cruising outside Rio. Rear-Admiral Reynolds, the ex-Com mander-in-Chief, was at Monte Video, whither the Centaur would go as soon as she had replenished fuel, &c., and had her engines repaired, the starboard engine having broken down on her way from Ma deira, which crippled her speed very much, as it could only be secured by chains in a temporary manner. The damaged gear would be replaced in the Imperial dockyard at Rio. Several minor mis haps also occurred to the Centaur's machinery, all owing, it is said, to the hurried and consequently inefficient way in which the work of refitting was carried on in England. She would he detained at least a week before being enabled to proceed to Monte Video. The Fly, 14, Commander Oliver, arrived at Rio, from New Zealand, on the 17th ult., on her way home, after being four years employed on that distant station in surveying service. She saluted Rear-Ad miral Henderson's flag when she anchored. She had a mail from Sydney and one from the Falklands. The Conflict, 10, Commander Drake, and the Locust steam-vessel, were at Bahia, the former about to pro ceed to Rio.

The Geyser's mails were sent up to town at 2.15 this afternoon. She confirms the reports brought by the Sharpshooter relative to the extinction of the slave traffic on the coast of Brazil. She brought a small freight in dia monds, and sailed this evening for Chatham to be paid off. The Simoom iron steam-frigate was undocked to day, after receiving the applications to prevent adhe sion to her iron bottom. She will be rigged in the basin for service. The Porcupine steam-sloop was undocked to-day, to be masted for commission. The Helena, 16, Commander De Courcey, will be paid off at this port on Friday next. The llavannah was towed out of Rio, off Cape Frio, en route to England, by the Geyser. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 22.—The Crane, 6, Commander M`Donnell, is hourly expected to proceed to her sta tion, the coast of Africa. Mr. Gabriel, arbitrator at Loando, takes passage in her.
