THE FORTIFICATIONS IN MIL- Foal) ii2I.VEN. Government having at length been stimulated .ith to undertake the defenc e of this unrivalled port, w its magnifi cen t and extensive naval arsenal, has just catere d into contract with Mr, Jackson for the :ection of a Martell° tower on the Stack rock -3 site formed by nature for a fortification. More man thirty men are actually at work there levelling toe 111;63, so as to form a broad base and sure foundation ; and there can be little doubt from the activity and energy of the agent employed to conduct the works, and his known ability, that the undertaking—one of no trifling importance, when it is taken into consideration that the building is to be erected on a comparatively small rock in the middle of the haven, exposed to the waves of the tempestuous Atlantic ocean—will be completed within the specified period, to hip own credit and the honour of Mr. Jackson. If successfully executed, and of which no doubts are entertained, Mr. W. Randle will indeed have placed the keystone in the arch of confidence and trust reposed in him by his highly responsible employers. Tois is one of a series of fortresses in execution and contemplation by the Board of Ordnance. There are two enfilading the ap proaches to the dockyard, in a very forward state, in positions reflecting great praise on the engineer department, especially that of their resident officer, Mr. Clark, on whose suggestions there is no doubt they have been constructed. They are the beau ideal of limestone buildings—this hard car bonaceous deposit being fashioned by clever stone trimmers into various forms and shapes, as a boy would a piece of malleable matter. In addition to guns of the most powerful calibre traversing on a platform, several others of heavy metal " poke their noses out of various port holes." Another and a still more powerful battery is in contemplation to be erected on Thorn Island—a most commanding position on the southern entrance of the haven. Thus far as regards approaching the Go vernment establishments, through the mouth of the harbour, " all's well," but we do hope the engi_ neer officers will not lose sight of an enemy landing at other and feasible points up Bristol Channel, and co min g overland L",.e " take, burn. or destroy " the Do ck y ard, with or no difficulty. powerfully fortified barracks shu t tle simultaneously with these Martell° towers, be uld, strutted on the heights surrounding the,Dock con. Sites for such defence have been fixed by coin yard. officers, and the ground purchased at no idconsider able expense. Those should at once be put in pro gress, and by thus procuring proper and efficient ac commodation for troops, the Martell° towers would always he efficiently manned, a consummation which, if not effected, will render these buildings useless in the extreme.— Welshman. THE NEW NAVAL TELEGRAPHI LIGHTS. This system of night signals, now under trial and the consideration of a committee of naval officers at Portsmouth, is proposed with a view to remedy the very inadequate and defective state of our present night accommodation. The importance of such a system as this is acknowledged by every officer in her Majesty's service who has investigated the subject, when it is remembered that in these times we have every pcasible facility afforded us on shore for communicating by night as well as by day with electric rapidity, the sailor has no means beyond nineteen signals of conveying intelligence, without the use of rockets or guns, which, in the presence of an enemy, would not be an efficient mode of conversing ; and, in fact, the Admiral has no signal even for the officer of the guard. Any ship now ar riving at Spithead during the night must wait till daylight before she can communicate with the Ad miral of the port, whereas by this system she comes to anchor with her number up the same as by day, and can, with the lamps, signalise with per fect ease at the distance of three miles. These lamps are light, strong, and neat, only five inches in diameter, beautifully and scientifically constructed with very powerful lens, by Millar and Co., lamp-makers to the Admiralty, Piccadilly. The system is divided into two parts, one vertical and the other horizontal ; the colours which are used are red, green, and white, the placing of them forms the numerals of both parts. All the lamps are of the same size, and two lights invariably form one figure ; they may be worked numerically or alphabetically as required, so as to give 996 verti cally, or 9,999 horizontally. The vertical lamps emit light all around, are eleven pounds in weight, and five inches in diameter, the outer circular glass is an inch thick, and is a lens of great magnifying force, in which rests the strength and intensity of the light ; only one candle is required, in consequence of the great magnifying force. It is on the principle of the telescope. The candle is placed where the eye of the person should be, and the eye takes place of the ob ject. To give the idea more fully of this lamp, take three tumblers without bottoms, and fix a light in the centre, the outer one being a white lens, an inch thick, and the others red and green glass of common thickness ; when the red and green are lifted above the lens, the light is white, when the green is down the colouring matter is con veyed to the lens, and the light is green, when it is up and the red down, the red of course tinctures the rays in like manner. These lamps have been worked at Spithead for the last two months with every satisfaction, at three miles distant, under almost every condition of the weather; the lens having the extraordinary power of transmitting the colouring matter through very dense media. The horizontal lamps which are now to be seen at work on board her Majesty's ship Victory emit light on one side only, have nearly double the power of the former, are a foot in diameter and weigh 191b5., have a strong lens with a small but powerful reflector of Millar's behind ; within is a horizontal revolver, on which is placed red and green glass, which, being brought alternately between the light and the lens, give the colours as re quired. This lamp is calculated to work from four to eight miles distant, and it is intended for flag-ships, dockyards, &c., the vertical being for sea-going ships only. It must be obvious to every one that without such system as this, in time of war, with powerful steamers, it is impossible to say what evil may not arise from the advance of an enemy on our coast, fleets, or arsenals.—Portsmouth Guardian --[lhis ad mirable invention has been effected by our worthy townsman,,Alttchell Thompson, Esq., late surgeon of her Majesty's steam-frigate Odin.—En. Plymouth and Devonport Journal.] IMPROVEMENT OF THE CITY "SHOW." The following letter has been addressed to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor elect, Mr. Alderman Musgrove:— " My Lord,—Atone of the Old Bailey dinners last year Mr. Hill afforded me the opportunity of mentioning to you an often-repeated regret on my part, that no en deavour was made to improve the character of the annual City Show' on the 9th of November. I ventured to remark, with reference to the antiquity of the proceed ing, and its interesting character, that some little inven tion and taste might, at all events, be exercised upon it, in lieu of repeating year after year the same dull and effete routine; and I suggested that, as it would probably soon be your privilege to act as chief magistrate of London, you should strive to vary the character of the procession, revive its associations, and introduce into it some work of modern skill and ingenuity. You were good enough to say that you felt the force of the obser • vution, and concurred (so far as a first hearing would justify) in my views: and you invited me, when the proper time came, to place the subject again before you. I gladly comply with the request. . .I do think with Thomas Middleton (1613) that some art and knowledge, (qua' to the liberality of the City, should be displayed in the invention of their pageant.' I would raise it out of the monotonous and prosaic routine into which it has fallen, by the introduction, among other changes, of emblems and works of art, accordant with its ancient enaracter, and worthy of the present time. In lieu of the men in mock armour, who have had a long run, or in addition if you please (making their costume real), you might introduce, say three compositions typical of manufactures, agriculture, and the arts; and do honour, if it were but by a series of banners, to the great minds that have taught and raised the world, and to. the past worthies w;io have specially served, adorned, or other wi, e improved the City. Peace has its victories as well as war.' Your Lordship, I know, thinks it is time the world gave honour to those who gain such. I do not venture, however, here to set forth what shape the show should actually be made La take: appropriate designs if sought wouid ne obtained without difficulty: my present object will be attained if I succeed in making evident to your Lordship the desirability of rendering the Mayor's show more worthy of this great city and time than is now the case. 46 We are glad to hear that the above has been referred to the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs' Committee for conducting the entertainment, and trust that improvement will, at all events, be conimenced in the Show on the approach ing 9th of November.—Builder. THE LAW'S DELAYS. SCENE AT THE DEPARTURE OF THE STEAM-SHIP AFRICA.—A remarkable scene occurred on the r iver on Saturday, on the eve of the royal mail steam ship Africa's departure with the mails for New York. We believe the circumstances are briefly as follows :—On account of a private and peculiar business transaction at New Orleans, two gentlemen of Sligo conceived that they had :a claim against Mr. Muir, her Majesty's Consul at New Orleans, for a sum of 4501. Mr. Muir was about to leave England,_ on Saturdak , to resume the duties of his consulate; but the creditors named obtained a judge's warrant and dispatched a sheriff's officer to arrest the consul on his departure from this port. Shortly before the hour appointed for the Africa's departure Mr. Fry, the officer, procured a four-oared gig, and, accompanied by a Liverpool officer, went on board the steam-ship, seized his prey, and carried him on board the steam-tender Satellite, which then lay alongside the Africa. Offers of an arrangement were made, with security for three times the amount claimed, but the officer refused all. Mr. Muir being surrounded by many friends, a fray was fast becoming imminent, and the quiet and sensible conduct of the arrested gentleman atone prevented instant chastise ment being inflicted upon the insolent officials who held the warrant. Meantime, great tumult and excite ment existed, and the Africa was fast nearing the matan of the river, having received the mails on board, and apparently no resource remained to Mr. Muir but to submit to delay. Just at the last moment, however, a more amiable feeling animated his pursu ers, an arrangement was effected, and Mr. Muir re entered the Africa and resumed his voyage. We pass by all other details of the transaction with this brief notice ; but we think it right to express our disap probation of the mannee in which the s heriff's-officers, clothed in a little brief authority, exercised their power. Several opportunities presented themselves for Mr. Muir's arrest, we believe, during the morning, either at his hotel, the landing-stage, or on the boat conveying the passengers. Instead, however, of transacting their business quietly and promptly, we understand the officials remained quiescent until mail the last moment, creating impediments to the service and risking t he provocation of a general dis turbance. Had Mr. Muir offered the slightest resist ance, such a result could not possibly have been avoided. We trust Mr. Wryer and the proper authorities will henceforth enforce a better execution of the law.—Liverpool Albion. GERMAN Y. • A letter from Berlin of the 24th inst. says that ' the Prussian Minister, Count Brandenburg, is in structed to make the following proposals to their Majesties of Russia and Austria. In return for its adjournment, and, consequently, its sacrifice of the Parliament of the League, Prussia demands that Austria shall consent to "free consultations." Re specting the constitution of Germany, Prussia con sents to all the Austrian States (viz., Gallicia, Hun gary, Croatia, and Lombardy) forming part of the Confederation. Prussia consents further to sacrifice the Parliamentary part of the future Central Power, and in return she demands a perfect equality with Austria. The German question is, for the present, to be left to itself. In the Hessian and Holstein ques tion Prussia offers to go with Austria. The Augsburger Abendzeitung states, from Munich of the 22d instant, that the King of Bavaria has ra ther unexpectedly returned to his capital. The fjrtress of Bamberg is being victualled for three months. The Bavarian horse (Cuirassiers) at Land shut have left that place, and proceeded in forced marches in the direction of Regensburg. CARDINAL WISEMAN AND THE ARCH BISHOPRIC OF WESTMINSTER. The following pastoral letter from Cardinal Wise man was read from the pulpit on Sunday, in St. George's Catholic Church, Southwark, and in all the other Roman Catholic churches and chapels of the London district. " Nicholas, by the divine mercy of the Holy Roman Church, by the title of St. Pudentiana Cardinal Priest Archbishop of Westminster, and Adminis. trator Apostolic of the diocese of Southwark. " To our dearly beloved in Christ, the clergy secular and regular, and the faithful of the said archdiocese and diocese, health and benediction in the Lord. "If this day we greet you under a new title, it is not, dearly beloved, with an altered affection. If in words we seem to divide those, who till now have formed under our rule a single flock, our heart is as undivided as ever in your regard. For now truly do we feel closely bound to you by new and stronger ties of charity ; now do we embrace you in our Lord Christ Jesus with more tender emotions of paternal love ; now doth our soul yearn, and our mouth is open to you (2 Cor. vi.,12); thouguwords must fail to express what we feel on being once again permitted to address you. For if our parting was in sorrow, and we durst not hope that we should ;'gain face to face behold you our beloved flock, so much the greater is now our consolation and our joy, when we find ourselves not so much permitted, as commissioned to return to you by the supreme ruler of the church of Christ. " But how can we for one moment indulge in selfish feelings, when through the loving father's generous and wise counsels, the greatest of blessings has just been bestowed upon our country by the restoration of its true Catholic hierarchical government in commu nion with the see of Peter. "For on the 29th day of last month, on the feast of the Archangel St. Michael, Prince of the Heavenly Host, his Holiness Pope Pius LX. was graciously pleased to issuelhis letters apostolic, under theiFieber man's Ring, conceived in terms of great weight and dignity, wherein he substituted, for the eight apostolic vicarites heretofore existing, one archiepiscopal or me tropolitan and twelve episcopal sees : repealing at the same time and annulling all dispositions and enact ments, made for England by the holy see, with refer ence to its late form of ecclesiastical government. " And, by a brief dated the same day, his Holiness was further pleased to appoint us, though most un worthy, to the Archiepiscopal see of Westminster, established by the above-mentioned letters apostolic, giving us at the same time the administration of the Episcopal see of Southwark. So that at present and till such time as the Holy See shall think fit other wise to provide, we govern and hall continue to govern the counties of Middlesex, Hertford, and Essex, as ordinary thereof, and those of Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Berkshire, and Hampshire, with the islands annexed, as administrator with ordinary juris.. diction. " Further we have to announce to you, dearly be loved in Christ, that, as if still further to add solem ity and honour before the Church to this noble act of Apostolic authority, and to give an additional mark of paternal benevolence towards the Catholics of England, his Holiness was pleased to raise us, in the private consistory of Monday, the 30th of September, to the rank of Cardinal Priest of the Holy Roman Church ; and, on the Thursday next ensuing, being the 3d day of this month of October, in public con sistory, he delivered to us the insignia of this dignity, the cardinalistical hat, assigning us afterwards for our title, in the private consistory which we attended, the church of St. Pudentiana, in which St. Peter is groundedly believed to have enjoyed the hospitality of the noble and partly British family of the senator Pudens. " In that same consistory we were enabled our selves to ask for the Archiepiscopal Pallium for our new See of Westminster, and this day we have been invested, by the hands of the Supreme Pastor and Pontiff himself, with this badge of metropolitan jurisdiction. " The great work, then, is complete; what you have long desired and prayed for is granted. Your beloved country has received a place among the fair churches which, normally constituted, form the splendid aggregate of Catholic commu nion. Catholic England has been restored to its orbit in the ecclesiastical firmament, from which its light had long vanished, and begins now anew its course of regularly adjusted action round the centre of unity, the source of jurisdiction, of light, and o f vigour. How wonderfully this has all been brought about —how clearly the hand of God has been shown in every step, we have not now leisure to relate, but we may hope soon torecount to you by word of mouth. In the meantime we will content ourselves by assuring you that, if the concordant voice of those venerable and most eminent counsellors to whom the holy see:commits the regulation of ecclesiastical affairs, in missionary countries, of the overruling of every variety of interests and designs, to the rendering of this measure almost necessary—if the earnest prayers of our holy Pontiff, and his most sacred oblation of the Divine sacrifice, added to his own deep and earnest reflection, can form to the Catholic heart an earnest and heavenly direc tion, an assurance that the Spirit of Truth, who guides the church, has here inspired its supreme bead—we cannot desire stronger or more consoling evidence that this most important measure is from God, has His sanction and blessing, and will, consequently. prosper. "'Then truly is this day to us a day of joy and ex ultation of spirit, the crowning day of long hopes, and the opening day of bright prospects. How must the saints of our country, whether Roman or British, Saxon or Norman, look down from their seats of bliss with beaming glance upon this new evidence of the faith and church which led them to glory, sympathising p r a t t h ie e n t c r e u a th n ' d s with those who have faithfully a dh ere d t o th em through centuries of ill repute, fo l s o a n k g e, su an ff d eri n n o g w l reap the fruit of their And all those blessed martyrs of these later ages,who have fought the battles of the faith under such discou ragement, who mourned, more over their own fetters or their own pain, over the desolate ways of their own Siun and the departure of England's religious glory ; oh ! how must they bless God, who bath again visited His people—how take part in our joy, as they see the lamp of the temple again enkindled and re brightened—as they behold the silver links of that chain, which has connected their country with the See of Peter in its Vicarial government, changed into burnished gold ;' not stronger nor more closely knit, but more beautifully wrought and more brightly ar rayed. And in nothing will it be fairer or brighter than in this, that the glow of more fervent love will be upon it. Whatever our sincere attachment and unflinching devotion to the Holy See till now, there is a new ingredient cast upon these feelings, a warmer gratitude, a tenderer affection, a profounder admira tion,nseenwt cas s oe b ng o t u r3e n ao d tf l , e l so s oy s a a slo n t yn d end n n n t d de l e fia s d s e sl giftei tn wills e to of tfhboeebslaui added e t e i dm o n et , (s) for e a s os Peter. f Our venerable P on tiff hasshown y himself a true shepherd, a true father; and we cannot but express our gratitude to him in our most fervent language, in the language of prayer.

CHARGE Or ROBBERY.—Renry Denham, aged 33, described as a slater, was arraigned on an indictment charging him with feloniously assaulting Thoma s Miller with intent to rob him, being armed with an offensive weapon. The prisoner is the man who was recently for some time in custody, and underwent several exami nations before the magistrates on a charge of being concerned in the assault and robbery of Mr. Cureton. Mr. Bodkin conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. O'Brien defended the prisoner. Mr. Thomas Miller, the prosecutor, deposed, that he is an artist's colourman, carrying on his business in Long-acre. On the night of the 2d of August last, he was returning from Chelsea to Long-acre. &s he passed through St. James's-park the clock truck twelve. As he was passing the end of Rose treet, in Long-acre, he was seized by three ar four men. He had in his left hand a large roll of drawings, and in his right hand a walking stick. Both his arms and hands were seized from behind and pinioned. At the same in stant he was faced by another person. A third person appeared at the same moment by his side. At that time he (witness) had a full view of the prisoner by the light of the street lamp. Whilst witness was so pinioned another person came up on his right side ; with, he believed, a walking-stick in his hand. The:. was the prisoner. A something was then put round his (witness's) throat by, he had no hesi tation in saying, the prisoner. Did not know what it was that was put round his throat, but be lieved it was a flexible thing, having a life preserver at one end. It was put tight round his throat, and the effect was immediate strangulation. His (witnt.ss's) coat was pulled up and his w iistcoat pockets rifle?. Witness then lost his senses entirely. The next thing ne recollected was being loosed, dashed on the kerb stone, one of his teeth broken, and his chin very much injured. On recovery he saw one man at a little distance. Witness chased him for a quarter of a mile but unsuccessfully; the man escaped. Witness then proceeded to Bow-street station, and there made a formal complaint of the matter, without however describing the prisoner. Next saw the prisoner by chance, about two months afterwards, at the Mansion-house, where he was standing at the bar on another charge, among other persons. Recognised the prisoner from his own know ledge, without his having been pointed out to him. On his (witness's) oath he had now no doubt that the prisoner was the man who endeavoured to strangle and rob him. Cross • examined by Mr. O'BRlEN—Witness had been on business on the night of the 2d of August at Klng's-road, Chelsea, where he supped with a friend. Believed he took a small glass of brandy and water after supper, but sot more than one. Chased the prisoner, after the assault, into 'Hart-street. Did not call police at all, for he was not able to do so. Im mediately on being pinioned he saw the prisoner for the first time. Could not recognise the man who faced him whilst he was being pinioned. The prisoner's hat was put on at the Mansion•house, at witness's suggestion, and it was then that he declared he was satisfied that the prisoner was the man, and before as well. Michael Hayden, one of the detective police of the city of London, deposed to taking the prisoner into custody, on the 11 of October, on another charge. Had no knowledge of the prosecutor at that time ; but witness went to the prosecutor's house on the 6 , h October, who then gave a description of the person who ettacked him. Witness did not beforehand describe any person whom he had in custody to the prosecutor. Witness then corroborated the prosecutor's statement as to identifying the prisoner at the Mansion-house. Mr. O'BRIEN addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, contending that the evidence given on the part of the prosecution was not of a character suffi cient to identify the prisoner with that clearness which would justify his conviction. The RECORDER having summed up, The jury returned a verdict of Guilty; and the Tisoner was sentorrpd to 20 veers' transportation. IV E W LOUIiJo (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) Henry Collins, 30, servant, was indicted for steal irg a coffee-pot, 61 forks, 56 spoons, and other plate, valued at 1801., the property of Edmund Rush worth and another, his masters. Mr. Carter prosecuted. Mr. Edmund Rushworth, of the firm of Rushworth and Jarvis, auctioneers, Saville-row, said that about three years ago the prisoner entered their service, and remained with them until June, 1849, when the arti cles in question were sent from Mr. Thomas's, of New Bond-street, to them for sale. They were brought on Saturday, the 30th of June, by a porter, and delivered to the prisoner, who took them into their wareroum and locked them up. Wben witness got there on Monday he found the prisoner gone, the place locked up, and the plate taken. Robert Checkley, 16 11, said he met the prisoner on the 16th of this month in the Whitechapel-road, and took him into custody. On their road to the station he asked what the plate had been valued at, and was told 2001. He added it was a good day's work for the man who had it. The jury found him Guilty, and he was transported For seven years. Edward George Barrington, who was convicted last session of returning from transportation, was brought up for sentence. The prisoner, it will be recollected, had almost served the term for which he had been sent out, and had received what was stated to be a free pardon, which he had destroyed. Upon leaving the colonies, he had served as a seaman against the Bornean pi rates, and had returned to this country bringing with him an excellent character and a large amount of prize money, with which he had gone into a respect able way of business. The COMMON-SERGEANT said that he had no alternative but to again order him to be transported, and the sentence was, that he be imprisoned for six m onths, and then b e transported for seven years. He would, however, be able to lay his case before the Secretary of State, who would have the power of mitigating it. The prisoner, who was !dreadfully agitated, no sooner heard the sentence, than he struck his hand violently on the front of the dock, and said he would sooner be dead than again transported, and, drawing a penknife he had secreted, made an attempt to cut his throat. The officers in the dock, however, managed to seize him before he could do himself any serious in jury, but it was not without much difficulty that the weapon could be got from him and he forced from the dock. The excitement was much heightened by the fran tic screams of a woman in the gallery, said to be his wife, and who could scarcely be restrained from throwing herself over into the dock. Edward Lovell Dwyer. who was convicted on Wednesday of a similar offence, was sentenced to be imprisoned for 12 months and again transported for seven years. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. GURNIsY.) Henry Thomas Taylor, 17, printer, Charles Gos ling, '24, painter, George Adams, 32, li4htertnan, and James Costello, alias Adams, were indicted for break ing and entering the dwelling-house of George Stiff, and stealing thf rein a gold snuffbox and quantity of plate, valued at 701, his property, and g, Id and silver moneys of the value of 301., the property of Fanny pl , .%man, in the same house. Mr. Parry, Mr. Parnell, and Mr. Metcalfe appeared ? nes r h e for the prosecution ; Mr. Clarkson appeare d f ur Tay lor, and Mr. Payne for Gosling.

Brixton, near to which place he had a printing-office, where the latter-mentioned publication is printed. The prosecutor had in hs service as housekeeper Brixton a woman named Fanny Ile ea men, acid her sister was also in his service, assisting in the pub lishiog department at the Strand of The pri soner Taylor was an apprentice to the prosecutor, and worked in the offices at Streatham, and, from the fact of occasionally going to the prosecutor's house, well knew the arrangements of it, and where the property was placed. On the Saturday preceding the day of the robbery, the 24th of September, the prosecutor was from town, and remained away for some few days, leaving the two Misses Plowman to take care of the house, and it was known to the pri soner that the only person in the house during the daytime was Fanny Plowman. On the 24th of Sep tember the prisoner left his work about five o'clock in the afternoon, his other workmen not leaving until nearly six, and about a quarter past five some man went to prosecutor's • house and asked if that was Mr. Stiff's, and, hiving been told that it was, said to the housekeeper, Fanny Plow man, "Some one you know in the Strand in getting out of the omnibus has had something fall upon her head, and you must take a cab and go there." The consequence was that she took a cab, and went as quickly as she could to the Strand, where she found the statement to be false, upon which she went back with her sister and one of the men from the office as fast as she could, and found that the place had been broken into by forcing an entrance into a stable at the side, and then bursting the door inside with a crow bar. The place was in great disorder, and the house rifled of all that could be found, and among other things was a gold snuffbox, which for safety was kept hidden in the top of the piano. Upon an inquiry about the robbery being instituted by the police, cir cumstances came to their knowledge which led to the apprehension of Taylor, who it appeared had sent a letter to Costello (at one time a workman of the pro aecutor's) on the morning after the robbery ; but when questioned shout him said he did not know where he lived, arid beat the boy whom he had sent to post the letter fur having said anything about it. The police, to whom Costello was well known, c o uld not find him, and Adams was taken under the fol lowing circumstances :—About a week after the rob bery had been committed he called upon the prose cutor in the Strand, and said that he had seen the property at a coffee-house in Drury-lane, and that, having heard Mr. Stiff was offering a reward tor the snuff box, he said he thought he could get it back for him for 101. or 121. He also asked Mr. Stiff if there were not some other things he set a store by; and then went on to enumerate some trifling things that had been stolen, and which at the time the prosecutor did not know he had lost. This was communicated to the police, who then took him, and finally Gosling was taken, and Costello was at last found in Newgate, under the name of Adams, for a burglary of which he was convicted in the New Court on Wednesday last, in connexion with a man named Wilson. Teylor was also spoken of as being near the prosecutor's about the time the robbery was being committed, and Costello and Adams were positively identified as being at the door, Adams anewering a man named Cinn, who came to deliver coals, telling him that there was no one in the house, as an accident had talon place. Taylor had also told a shopmate named Rye that he had put Costello on to the house of their foreman, but they were disturbed by a cat, which, it appeared, was true ; that he had put Costello on prosecutor's, and on Wednesday, the day after the robbery, was going to Drury-lane to " have his whack" of the affair; and on teat night he was seen in company wi - h the other prisoners in Drury-lane. At Costello's house, when searched, severity-two skeleton-keys were found. The only evidence against Gosling was that he looked like a man who was leaning on the railings of the prisoner's house at the time. Taylor, who is the son of a resp-ctabla tradesman, had several witnesses called to hi, character. Tie jury, under the direction of the Learned Judge, Acquitted Gosling, convicting the others, with a recommendation to mercy on the part of Taylor. Costello, it was further proved, had been convicted in 1841 for obtaining go - ads with forged orders. He was now sentenced to ten years' transportation, Adams to seven years, and Taylor to twelve m onths' imprisonment, with hard labour. Edward Smith and Thomas Hardy, two notorious cracksmen, were convicted of breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mary Higgins, and stealing a quantity of wearing apparel. Mr. Carteen prosecuted, and the case, excepting the characters of the men, was of the ordinary descrip tion. Hardy had been transported in 1639, and served seven years, and had since then been in Read ing Gaol, besides other convictions and some acquit tals. The other was equally well known. Thomas Collins, 20, woodcutter, was convicted and sentenced to seven years' transportation for stealing a clock, value 201., the property of a lady named Rids dale, at St. John's-wood. The officer said the prisoner was one of a gang who hang about the outskirts to plan burglaries. In the course of the day Mr. Metcalfe applied for the usual process against Cornelius Baron Von Stentz, against whom Wilhelm Sobiesky Kelldall had ob tained a true bill fur perjury arising out of some law proceedings. The application was granted, with the usual notice of bail. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Amelia Firzman, alias Hicks, Mary Ann Ryan and William Warner, were charged beiore Mr. Hal with having feloniously received a quantity of mue lin, worth 1301., which had been stolen from an en rand-boy. On Saturday evening the 19th inst., a boy named Henry Bartlett, in the service of Mr. J. S. Fisken, merchant, of Wood-street, Cheapside, was sent out by his employer with a parcel containing 466 pieces of muslin, which he had instructions to leave at Waterloo-house, The boy, finding the premises closed, was compelled to return with the parcel. On his way back he was accosted by a lad named Henry Williams, who made his acquamtance, and invited him to take a drop of something ; they went together to a public-bourse near St. Martin's lane, and Williams " stood treat." After they had been a short time in conversation Williams requested the errand boy to take a message from him to his uncle round the corner. The boy went out for the purpose, leaving hi s parcel on the seat. He could not find his companion's uncle; and, on returning to the public-house, discovered that Williams had disappeared with the parcel. The loss of the pro perty was advertised, and this brought some informa tion as to the disposal of the greater part of it. On Saturday a boy, answering the description of Henry Williams, was examined at Bow-street, charged with stealing a coat and some other articles. Mr. Fisken'a errandboy was sent for, and he at once identified Williams as the lad who stole his parcel from the public- house. Mr. Fisken, the prosecutor, identified the pieces of melin produced, by the private mark, the quantity, and the peculiar pattern. It formed the greater part af 466 pieces which were stolen from his errand-boy. The quantity recovered was worth about 11T/. About 131. worth was yet missing. William Parker said he was foreman to Mr. Dicker, pawnbroker, of Lambeth- marsh. The prisoner Amelia Firzman pledged the muslin produced at their shop, stating that it belonged to a Ldy who was going to Australia, and intended making it up into caps and cuffs. W i teess did not notice the value of it, and advanced 2/. upon it. He had known the woman for four e ears, and had always considered her a very re spectable person. She had been in the habit of coming to the shop during the whole of that time, but she had gone by the name of Hicks. She lived in the. Water loo-road. When witness saw the advertisement he immediately wrote to the prosecutor, and subsequently gave the police all the assistance in his power. Constable Brown, of the- F division, said that he met Firztnan in Drury-lane, and took her into cus tody on the present charge. She had some pieces of the muslin in a basket, and admitted having pledged some over the water. She said that a woman named Ryan had brou g ht it to her for sale, and stated where Ryan lived. Witness then went to R y an's house, in Queen ~ .place, Lincoln's lun-fields, a n d s he stated that the muslin was given to her by Warner (the male prisoner) to carry to Firamaa, as, the latter being connected with theatricals, he thought she might be able to get a customer for it. She sold it to Firzman for 155., and had 2s. 6d. for her trouble. Witness afterwards apprehended Warner, who at first denied all knowledge of the muslin, but eventually adniitted that he sold some, which had been picked up at the corner of a court, to Mrs. Ryan. An attorney who attended for Ryan, said she was the wife of a respectable man, and had lived 26 years in the same house. Mr. HALL remanded the prisoners to Saturday, when they will be brought up with the lad Williams, who is suspected of stealing the property, and against whom there are no less than 20 charges of felony awaiting investigation. MARYLEBOIVE. George Boum, aged 18, was brought up in custody, and placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, on two charges, one of burglary at the house of Mr. George Seaton, landlord of the Dublin Castle, Park-street, Camden-town, and a murderous outrage upon police constable Godwin 58 S. The case excited a considerable degree of interest. Godwin presented a most distressing appearance. There was a quantity of coagulated blood upon his face, he had a bandage round his head, and beneath his left e 3 e was a quantity of strapping, from which blood was still oozing; he was exceedingly weak, and made his statement while sitting on the bench at the attorneys' table. The back part of the prisoner's head was also strapped up. The officer, on being sworn, said—Between three and four o'clock this morning, as I was waling on duty round the rounds by Ch FaTM TUVCra, I wits (Anne Jlong whistlivg towm - ds ; that t)er,:on wrts the nri:ioni r, imtuediately passed me. Not liking - his app :•a:'- ante, I went ater him, al - A overt ,, ek him within ten or twflve yards of Priono6e- bill, when he 4uddenly stopped. At thAt time I obscrved sotoehing• bulky under his coat, Abich way butt.ne.d. He i-inarkA to me, " It's rather a wet morning," and I said, It is, and what have you got about you ?" He unbuttoned his coat, and, drawirg thence a leathern bag, said it was his own money, which he had worked for, and at the same time produced 2s. 6d. Feeling satisfied that some robbery had been perpetrated, I told him he must go with me, when he said, " For God's sake don't take me, and give you half." I Lid hold of him by the hack of the neck, and led him along, and for 500 yards he walked as quietly as possible ; he then said something to me, but I eannA recollect the words he used. and at the same moment he suddenly sprung up, and I was stabbed by him in the face with a sharp instrument. I still kept hold of him, and we rolled together down an emblnk ment. A scuffle then ensued between us, rind he cut me again on the ear and the hand. I caught hold of his wrist and saw tha kr , Ve in his hand, which was upraised as if in the act of once mere stabbing me, the blow being about to be aim al at my head. We continued to scuttle, and the prisoner got away from me. I got up as quickly as possible, while the blood was flowing troni Inc in a strum, and ran after him with my drawn truncheon.. When I had got within a few yards of hini, the ground being sippery. he fell. I fell too. We both got up, and with my truncheon I gave him several blows which knocked him down. I called out and my cries brought to my assistance two railway policunen, by whom the prisoner WAS sfecured and conveyed to the station-house. I managed to walk there olyself in a bleeding and fainting condition, and on searching the prisoner I found in his possession three bags, Which I now produce. They contain 191. in shillings, a crown, 14 half-crowns, 128 sixpenges, 24 fourpenny-pieces, 15 threepenny-pieces, and other moneys in copper. In one of his wai,tcoat pockets found two four- penny-pieces, and in his fob a jet necklace. Mr. BRoUGHTON—Did he say from whom he re ceived the money as wages when you stopped him ? Witness—Yes, he said lie had had it from Mr. Griarble, but did not tell me who or what Mr. Grimble was. I asked him how much he had received, an he said he believed ebou' 251. ‘Ltnes Bormor, potman to a Mr. Seaton, sail—For three or four we e ks past the prisoner has been in the habit of coming daily and nightly to the house. At half-past 11 o'clock last night he was by the fire in the tap-room, where he had been long sitting, and I then desired him to leave, as it was our time for shut ting up. I fastened the door at the back of the house and then returned into the taproom, whenl looked round and could see no one there. I consequently imagined that the prisoner, whom I had warned, had left the house, and after extinguishing the gas I re tired to bed, leaving my master below. I was called up at seven o'clock this morning, and then found that the front door of the house was partly open. It had been unbolted. The bar was down, and one shutter bolt was lying on a chair, which was placed close to the door. Wardell, a constable in the employ of the London and Norh-Wesern Railway Company, was the next witness examined. Ile said, hearing cries of " Oh, oh 1" proceeding from some one who was apparently in great sutrerißg from some cause or other, I ran along The road towards Primrose-hill, and found the prisoner and the policemen Godwin struggling on the ground most desperately. I asked the policeman what was the matter, and he exclaimed, " Mind him, mate, for he has got a knife." The constable got up bleeding and ready to faint, and on my searching under the prisoner, who was lying down, I found a Life under his right thigh. Mr. BaouGirrox—When the officer said, " Mate, he has got a knife," did the prisoner say anything ? Witness—No, Sir. Mr. BROUGHTON— Was the prisoner bleeding too ? Witness—He was from the hand, and a portion of his head was matted with blood. Frances Osborne, the maid servant, was next called. She proved the finding of the street-door open. She was the first who came down stairs, and she imme diately raised an alarm. Mason, 168 S, gave evidence as to his having exa mined the premises of the prosecutor, and finding the bar parlour had been entered by some one, who had cut away a portion of the woodwork close to the lock, so as to afford facility for going into the parlour, with out the parlour door being forced. There were no marks of violence from the outside, and the robbery of cash which, it would be shown by Mr. Seaton, had taken place at his house, must have been perpe trated by some one who had concealed himself on the premises. Mr. George Seaton, the landlord, proved that he fastened up his street-door on the previous night at half•past twelve o'clock, and went to bed five mi nutes afterwards. In the morning, when called up as before stated by other witnesses, he missed from his bar parlour somewhere about the amount previously spoken to as bring found on the prisoner, namely, '251. or 261. One of the bags he would swear to as being his, but the other two he could not. He knew nothing about the necklace produced. The greater part of the cash was stolen from a cupboard, and the rest from the title, both of which had been emptied. The knits found under the thigh of the prisoner was produced and identified as being the property of the prosecutor; it was a small dinner knife, such as are commonly used in tap-rooms, and the upper part of the blade was bent to the extent of two or three inches. In answer to the magistrate, Mason, the officer, said he believed that the prisoner had been in custody before, and convicted of stealing a saw, but he was not prepared to-day with evidence to show that ouch was the case. Witness added, that when pri soner met the wounded officer, Godwin, he was no doubt carrying his treasure to some secluded spot where he might deposit it until a fit opportunity was afforded him for carrying it away. The prisoner, after being duly cautioned as to what he had to say, made a long and rambling state ment, to the effect that he was first assaulted by the constable, of whom he asked the way to Gloucester. gate, and he accused the officer of having struck him before he (prisoner) attacked bim with the knife. He denied having broken out of the house himself, and accounted for his possession of the money by al leging that it was given him by two men (strangers), who told him that if he would carry what they gave him they would put a trifle in his way, and that they would meet him at Moses's, in Oxford street. He ftremandedt m efo there. A kmew not who the persons were, as he had never, to his prisoner till Mon day next, and Inspector Chambers was directed to bring Ir. knowledge,Bo li seen T oN he on that day a surgeon's certificate with respect to the nature of-the wounds which God win had received. The prisoner had received a alight wound in the thigh, supposed to have been caused by his falling upon the point of the knife, which was in his pocket when he and Godwin rolled down the embankment. The prisoner was then lock,A up, and. Godwhi left the court in a cab, being much too exhausted to walk home. CLERKENWELL , A poor distressed young woman, who gave her name Elizabeth Appleyard, of No, 44, Rawstorne street, Clerkenwk 11, applied to Mr. Tyrwhitt, on Saturday last, uncl , .r very distressiog circumstances. She said her husband was a compositor, but after nine months' illness he died, leaving hervvith five children, and at that moment her youngest child was lying at home in its coffin, and she had not the means of burying it or of procuring food for herself and starving family, and was compelled, with reluctance, to make this appeal to the worthy magistrate. To add to the unfortunate creature's I.ffEction there was a &stress upon her trifling goods for 11. 10,;. Mr. Tyrwhitt caused immediate inquiries to be made by Nesbitt, one of the officers of the court, who reported the case as one of a peculiarly distressing nature, when Mr. Tyrwhitt relieved her from the distress, and benevolently afforded the poor family other as sistance from the poor• box, and, the case having been communicated to Mr. Petch, the overseer of the parish, he undertook to see the child interred, and the appli cant evinced her gratitude by tears and thanks to Mr. Tyrwhitt. THAMES. Bridget Donovan, a little ill-favoured Irihwoman, about thirty years of age, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with being unlawfully possessed of a 501. note, suspected to have been stolen. A clerk in the Bank of England produced a 50l note, the one in q uestion, dated December 6, 1849, No. 17, 137 , and s a id it had been paid into that estab lishment, but ha d not been sto pp ed.

THOMAS CORRIE.—On Saturday the flags at the Town• ball and the public offices were raised half-mast high in respect to the memory of Mr. Thomas Corrie, who died in the course of that morning. Mr. Currie was an officer well known in Liverpool as the collector of town-dues, and he had filled the post with credit to himself and profit to his employers for a number of years. He was, we believe, in his seventy-third year, and had been suffering from the disorders arid infirmities of old age during the last three or four months. The deceased was a man of very charitable disposition, and he will long be remembered with feelings of gratitude and respect. We believe the salary of his office amounted to 7001. a year. The appointment rests with the Cerporstien.-P•kiverpool4l6ion. THE LATE BURGLAR' IN THE REGENT'S PARK. Yesterday the Government, viii ;tirivod at Maryle bono Police. court, flout the House of Dt.tention, Cerkonwell, bringing therein William D, Son, ho b4€:n remanded by Mr. lironwhton, on the chkrge of having been concerned with otters in hurglariously breakiog and entering the premises of James E H-Iford House, Regent's Park, •.at an early hour in the morning of SandAy, the 13th instant. In about two hours after Dyson was brought in and locked up in the cell by the gaoler, two more persons, alleged to be participators in the transaction, which has caused throughout the country so great a degree of interest and excitement, were brought up in a cab, properly secured from any chance of escape, by Sergeant Barry, A, 'ettached to the M (South wark) division, and Evan Jones, police-constable 250 M. - Su , erinteudent Hilynes, of the division alluded to, and who was for a long period a most active officer of the detective force, was also presen% It soon became rum)ured in the district that three men were to be examined, and long before the night charges were disposrd of thc juitice-room was crowded to ex , .:ess. At three o'clock the whole of the pr6ouer6 were brought in and placed at the bar. Air. Broughton—What are the names of the two additional prisoners ? Inspector Chambers—James Atlhon, alias Hollindale, and William Robinson. L. may be stated that Mahon, in addition to the alias of tlollindale, has that of Hanbery, and that Robinson is generally known by the appellation of "Butcher Bd1" Mr. Broughton (to the prisoners)—You are charged with having hurglariously entered the pre mises of Jas. Holton . % Eq., Regent's-park, cud c;ir ried away an ormolu orni.anent and other articles. It will be ilecei,sary to have the evidence of Mr. Paul, the butler, as there are two fresh prisoners, to show that a burglary has been committed. Mr. Paul then reiterated the particulars of his former statement, affording satisfactory proof of the burglary, tied the part which he, and the rest of the servants under his direction, took in endeavour ing to capture the marauders, by sword, gun, pistol, and pitchfork. Mr. Broughton (to Superintendent Haynes)—Now put up the first witness. Henry Barry, 455 A—l am a sergeant of the M division. On Sunday night, the 13th instant, at ten o'clock, I, accompanied by Jones, 250 M, visited the George public- house, in Lombard street, near the Mint, in the Borough, and saw the three prisoners in the t.p room together. Mr. Broughton—Were you in uniform or not ? Witness—We were in plain clothes, your Worship. Mr. Broughton—Do you know Dyson ?—Yes ; he lived in a house in Martin-street. I apprehended a lodger of his some time ago, of the name of Miller, for an attack upon Mr. Cureton, in Aldersgate-street; and he is to be tried to-day at the Old Bailey. The prisoner Dyson attended at the Mansion-house while Miller was under examination there, and he seemed to be greatly interested in the proceedings, as if he were keeping a particular watch upon a case affecting a most intimate friend. Mr. Broughton—What do you know of Robinson ? Witness—l have seen him in thieves' company, but I cannot say of my own knowledge that he has been in custody before. Mr. Broughton—Do you know anything of the prisoner Mahon ? Witness—Yes: he was sentenced in February, 1849, to three months' hard labour for having a number of skeleton keys in his possession of which he could not give a satisfactory account. His right name is James Hollindale. Mr. Broughton—Have you often seen him since that period ? Witness—Yes : and generally as an associate of thieves at the George public-house. Mlion—You have not seen me there lately, have you ? Witness—No. Mahon--Was it anything unusual for me to be missed from there for several nights together ? Wit ness—lt was. Mahon—Had you ever seen me in Dyson's com pany before ? Witness—Yes, very often. Mr. Broughton asked Superintendent Haynes as to the character which the George public-house gene rally bore, and he said that the landlord had several times been sommoned for harbouring thieves, and that only a week or ten days ago he bad been convicted at Southwark Police-court in the penalty of 3/. Robinson to Barry—Have you not missed me upon many occasions from the public-house you have spoken of in the Borough ? Barry—l have, but could not find out where you had gone to until I happened to take you into custody. By Mr. Broughton—When taken in charge, Mahon, on being told he was charged with a burglary at Mr. Holford's, said he knew nothing about the affair. Jones, 260 M, said, I was in company with Ser geant Barry when he visited the George, and there saw the three prisoners and others belonging to their party. I looked into the tap-room,'and Dyson nodded at me. There was a quart pot on the table. Mr. Broughton—Were they all sober ? Wit ness—They seemed to be so. Mr. Broughton—Where did you take the prisoners into custody ? Witness—From information which I and my brother officer received, we went to a beer shop in a back street leading out of the Kingsland road, and Barry told Mahon that he must consider himself in custody, and I presently returned to the beer-shop, close to which I met Robinson, who, on being told what he was charged with, said " I have nothing to do with other people's doings ; and it other people do anything wrong that is no affair of mine." Mr. Broughton—Do you know Mahon ? Witness —Yes, sir; well. When we reached the Feather stone-street station-house, Mahon, who was there, upon seeing Robinson brought in, said, " You have no business to bring that man here, he knows nothing about it." And be kept on saying that he was innocent. Superintendent Haynes, to Barry—Have you ex amined the hands of the prisoner Mahon ? Barry— I have. His left hand was cut in the palm, and on the lower part of his right thumb was a mark as if a shot had penetrated it. Henry Locock, cabman, badge 5,417, was next called. Mr. Broughton—Do you know Mr. Holford's house ? Witness—l do, sir. Mr. Broughton—When did you first hear of a robbery there ? Witness—This day fortnight, when Lockerby and Mason, of the S division, took me to St. Thomas's Hospital, to see a man who had been wounded. Mr. Broughton (to Lockerby)—That man was I believe, brought before Mr. Long, and discharged as quite clear of the burglary ? Lockerby—Tnat is so, your Worship. Mr. Broughton (to Locock)—What do you know in connexion with this affair at Mr. Holtord'a ? Wit ness—At about half-past one or twenty minutes to two on the morning of this day fortnight, I had just put down a job at the York and Albany Tavern, when the prisoner Mahon came up to me, and I asked him if he wanted a cab—te which he replied, "Yes." He told me that he had been bitten by a dog, and he showed me his hand, which was bleeding very much. I told him there was a pump close by, at which he could wash it ; and while I was speaking to him, another man came by, bleeding from the head, and without a hat. He got into the cab, and ordered me to drive to the Strand. Mr. Broughton—Did he and the other man who went to the pump speak ? Witness—they del not, your Worship, and I had no reason to think that they knew each other. While going along Albany-street the man whom I was driving said he felt faint, and asked to ride outside. He alighted, saying that he would walk on, which he did, and soon atter, hearing another cab behind, he got in again, saying, "Drive me as quick as you can to Waterloo-bridge." He had no hat on, and I asked him what had become of his hat, but he made me no answer. I set him down close to the brige, and I demanded 2s. 4d. as my fare, but he gave me only ls. 6d. I was at that moment hailed by a lady and gentleman, who got into the vehicle, and I at the time objected to take them, not liking to do so until I had found out where the man whom I had brought to the bridge lived, as be was lying down, bleeding; but I was obliged to carry the fare I have spoken of, or run the risk of being sum moned and fined for refusing to do so. Mr. Broughton —Did he tell you how it was he had no het ? Witness—No, air ; but on the road to the bridge he expressed a wish to go down to the Strand by some bye street. Mason (S)—l think, sir, that I shall be able to bring forward one who was at Gloucester-gate, and who will give important evidence, upon a future occasion. Mr. Broughton (to Jones)—Since the burglary have you been in the habit of seeing the two pri soners, Mahon and Robinson, in the George public house ? Jones—No, sir ; I have missed them ever since : before Mr. Holford's affair took place I saw them there almost daily. Mr. Joseph, surgeon, Great Marylebone-street, ex amined the hands of Mahon. Upon the left hand there had been a cut, now nearly healed ; and below the right thumb there was a blue mark and an in dentation, as if made by a spent shot. He (Mr. Joseph) did no; consider that a shot had entered the flesh. o:her evidence was gone into, from which it ap peared that while the prisoners were being conveyed from Featherstone-street station-house to the Albany street station in a cab, Robinson, in allusion to the burglary, said " That's not my racket ; it's one scale higher than my doing." Mahon on the road said nothing. A hat, produced on a former occasion, was now produced by Dredge, 31 D ; it had in it numerous stains of blood, and shot holes in the crown, as also through the sides. Mr. Broughton—Where did you find this hat ? Witness—At a short distance from the house, under a et V! , Mr. Paul fired, and where be thcalgbt that, the inn twit !-hor, was 1 ving dead. w it Ivir.
