SPORTING. CoRRESPONDEICT • i:g Luc:` • was, as a nia',!pr course a vet one. and often as the Goodwood Stakes have been run in unfavourable weather, yet I believe it never was worse on any previous occasion. Still, the interest which this vain “hle 'rn!l , iticap excited drew together a larger assemblage 4,f s:lortz inen than might have been anticipated. Tfic , defeat of Quesn .flab by Wolfdog, and her voiwritiett withdrawal from this race, for which she had I.aind many friends; the announcement of Una's break down, and tlif, declaration made that Rowena and Warp w cid not go,. gave great satisfaction to the bookmakers, w!lose voices and pencils were in requisition even up to the time the horses were rounding the turn that leads into the straight runn'eg. I scarcely ever recollect any handicap for .vhich so mail) . horses had been backed. One industrious r , :nflrlnau, who resides not far from St. Ives, boasted that he had_ got against forty-six of them. 'lle race tip to the last moment was a most (Ten one, the result surprised every one, exult those %I;iiviloals connected with Kent's stable.

It would seem as if she were aware of his intention, ri,tri , reed her character, and, like Retriever, carried o hotly st,kes and Cup. .:Egis fully bore out the favourable i gave her, and although many think she would 'irve won but fl,r her accident, I must say I doubt it.

Una and Glossy, two mares I thought would be first, did not atart, but as T • ; 1 0 : ,, cond hoi 3e, Roderick, was in the same stable with the and the only one that started out of it, I did not do wrong, I think, in caning attention to the animal that, tak ing public running into consideration, was unquestionably the best of the lot left in. The Stewards' Cup fell singularly to the steward, Lord Stanley, with his singularly named animal, Psalmsinger, and, I suppose. it is almi st unnecessary to say that when the re rsce was known his luci , .y backer; did not cOle brate his victory in the manner they might have done. Five capital heats for the Member , ' Hate was almost enough to reconcile the o:,ponents of ti:is description of racing to it. THURSDAY.—The cup Day bore out its character both' with respect to weather and company. The King of the Ne therlands appeared to take great interest in the racing, and his announcement of his intention of giving a cup to be run for at the next meeting, in imitation of the Emperor of Russia, was an earnest proof of the pleasure he experienced on the day. The Two-Year Old Stakes were merely trials between Kent's and John Day's stables. The Cup was not so exciting a race as usual, and was reduced to a match between Weatherbit and Miss Elis. Both animals were much dis tressed, and I question whether Mr. Gully's horse will soon forget the punishment he received on this occasion. FRIDAY.—This day was a capital wind-up to the week's proceedings, Refraction winning the Nassau with 91b. extra — a most superior performance, and surprised many. The Chesterfield Cup brought a field of two-and-twenty horses, and, after a terrific race between .lEgis and Needful, the former won by a short head. Her success was somewhat surprising, considering bow ranch she was injured in her race for the Stakes. The races for gentlemen riders produced capital sport and excellent joekeyship. Brighton Meeting commences to-morrow with a fair pro granone of sport. Ibe Pavilion Stakes, I should imagine, would be walked over fur by Sting ; and after a cursory glance at the . Handicap for the Brighton Stakes, I fancy Pine-apple or subduer will be about first. Loudon, August 5. TELEGRAPH. 7•0 7'HE EDITStIe 01% THE SUN, Sig,—The late racing at Goodwood has shown clearly the powers, capabilities, and qualities of Old England, Wea therbit, Pam, Arkwright, and Sting. I consider Weatherbit and Pain's chances for the St. Leger to have vanished entirely, and Old England run his race in the most " lubburly" manner imaginable. His push in the straight running proves beyond doubt, that he is rot capable of going /Teter when approach ing she winning post, fur I could plainly perceive that he was hi 3 best against Longitude at the finish of tfr.• race for the Drawing-room Stakes. Arkwright looks w , ll tut. next „ear's Derby, and Sting will sting his opponents it. the ring b-fore the Epsom Meeting for 1846 is recorded in the annals he past. 1 iie Brighton Meeting commences on Tue , day with the Pavilion Stakes, which will or ought to be booked as a cer tainty for Sting, Tug Net being second. Besides this race, 'here are only the Brighton Stakes which are likely to attract aoy particular notice, for which about cloven will show, say blab, Joe Lovell, Pineapple, My Old Hack. Moustache, Subduer, Saddlebow, Mongrel, The Wreck, Ito 1 ena, and, perhap-, Pous,in. Out of these, I fancy Sub jeer, Joe Lovell, and My Old Hack will do the trick between having a slight preference for the former, who has but fist 121 b to carry.-1 am, Sir, Sours, &c , I'HE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

The meeting was protracted to a late hour, and we understand that an ar rangement was come to, which we hope will prove satisfactory to all parties. That the town of Halifax will reap immense advantages from this friendly arrangement we have not the slightest doubt. —llalifas Guardian.

White acknowledged this, and strongly ex pressed his regret at being before " the gentlemen." He said that he bad caught rats for forty years, and never was up be fore the justices before ; that he had a wife and five children, and had a difficult matter to get bread for them in an honest - way. He put in for the inspection of the magistrates a written testimonial of genii charteter. It was nnmereetsly ar.d re spectably signed. The magistrates ordered him to pay 18s., and in default fourteen days' imprisonment. He begged for and succeeded in obtaining time to pay the fine. CHILD MURDER.— WINDSOR, MONDAY.— Tfore his a fte r noon an inquest was• held in the bo rou g h gaol, be Thomas Marlin, Esq., the coroner for Windsor, and a highly respectable jury, on the body of a new-born male infant, which was found dead in the privy attached to the residence of Mr. Charles Alder, in Spring-gardens, on Friday last. The ser vant of Mr. Alder, a young girl named Susan Douglas, be tween 20 and 21 years of age, who had given birth to the in fant, is in custody of the gaoler. The inquiry lasted nearly five hours. After a careful investigation the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Susan Douglas. She will be removed to Reading to take her trial at the next Berkshire assizes. The girl, a native of Wokingham, states the father of the infant to be an old man named Day, who died at Wind sor about three weeks since, at the advanced age. of between 70 and 80 years. Within the last few days no less than 500 horses ha ie been scat for sale to Aldridge's Repository, owing to the fort her opening of the Northern and Pastern Railway, froth :,tort lord by -say of Ely and Thetford to Norwich, and the consequent discontinuance of the running of the coaches.

THE CASE Or MOORE V. PIKE.—TAE PAVING AND WATER-RATES.—A public meeting, with reference to the above-mentioned case, was held on Monday, at Lswson's As sembly-rooms, Gower-street ; Mr. Corry in the chair. The CHHIRMAN having addressed the meeting, Mr. DOUGLAS rose to move the first resolutio*. He said that about three years ago Mr. Moore, the then clerk of the Southampton Paving Trust, said that he had lost a sum of 501. of paid money, at the Parliamentary Committee Rooms, where he had been transacting business on the part of the Com missioners of Trust. Mr Pike, one of the Commissioners, put some questions to him as to where he received it, and whether it was in gold or in notes, all which questions lie refused to answer.—( Hear.) Mr. Pike followed up the inquiries, however, which gave rise to diputes with the other Commissioners, who had persecuted him ever since. —(Hear, and groans.) Two years ago a rate was levied by the Commissioners for one year, Which was net legal, it being usual only to levy a rate for six months. Many of the poorer rate-payers were unable to pay the rate for a whole year at once. and were therefore disfran chised —( Groans,) It was on this account that Mr. Pike had opposed the rate, and refused to pay it himself. The" proper course for the Commissioners to take was to distrain for the .amount. but, instead of that, they sued for it in the Court of • Requests, and by means of various objections they carried the case from one Court to another, till it finally came before the Court of Exchequer, where a decision was given in favour of the Trost, as regarded a minor part of the debt. The action was for 31. 16s. Bd. ; the 31. being for the lighting and paving rate, and the remainder for the water rate. The decision was that the water rate was legal. but the paving rate was not. Thus, although the decision was actually in favour of the de fendant, yet it threw upon him the expense of the action. The costs demanded were 1071., which, being taxed, were reduced to 501. If the Commissioners had lost the cause, the remain ing 57!. must have been paid, and the whole would have been at the expense of the rate-payers.—( Groans. ) The resolution was seconded by Mr. VINER. Several other persons addressed the meeting to the same effect, and the resolution was read by the CHAIRMAN. It was to the effect that the meeting highly condemned the conduct of the Commissioners in taking the expensive process of litigation, and that they, the meeting, pledged themselves to assist Mr. Pike in the liquidation of the debt. The resolution passed almost unanimously. Other resolutions were then passed, and a Committee to re ceive subscriptions was appointed. Several sums of money were handed in and acknowledged, and the meeting separated about ten o'clock. VAUXHALL GARDENS. NIGHT ASCENT OF MR. GREEN IN HIS BALLOON. On Monday this aerial voyageur undertook the perilous feat of a night ascent in his balloon from Vauxhall Gardens, dis playing fireworks of a novel and extraordinary description from the ear of his frail machine. The occasion of this bold and daring adventure was cele brated by a grand gala, in which all the resources of the estab lishment were brought into requisition to render the fête the most brilliant of the season. The efforts of the management proved successful, the gardens being crowded by an immense assemblage, including several persons of high rank and dis tinction. The Messrs. Adams have alFo been making extensive altera tions in their splendid model, al fresco, of the Temple of Horan, which has given it a most imposing effect. The pecu liar character of this exhibition reflecti the greatest credit upon those rising young artists—we should say it is the most splendid production since the famed Waterleo. We likewise noticed some very prothising scenery, by the name artists, in the Rotunda Theatre, in Mr. Almar's ballet of Old Vauxhall. The new drop at the period of Queen Anne, introducing Sir Roger de Courcy. and other characters of the day, forms a very inter esting picture. Tlie . balloon selected by Mr. Green for the occasion was the Albion, formerly the property of Mr. Hampton. Since it has been in the possession of Mr. Green, he has considerkbly en larged it and materially improved it both in shape and construc tion. It will now contain 26,000 cubic feet of gas, and stands sixty feet in height. 41r. Darby, the pyrotechnist. and artist to the gardens, had the entire arrangement of the fireworks, the composition of which, as well as the construction of the machinery for their discharge, was effected under his personal direction. The frame on which were the fireworks was suspended to the car by a line of about seventy feet in length, attached to a swivel, so that it might spin freely in the air, and thus increase the effect of the pyrotechnic display. The frame consisted of three conjunct wheels, the radius of each being six feet, and the circuta,rence of the entire frame thirty•six feet, and the separation between each wheel fifteen inches. Mr. Green was provided with a regulating winch in the car, so that he was enabled to wind up or lower tile frame with the fireworks at pleasure. _ _ The fireworks consisted of variegated lights, Italian gerbs, with les petit etoiles, coloured Roman candles, French jets, and Chinese streams of fire, concluding with an enormous bouquet of coloured fires. With respect to the ignition of this ponderous pyrotechnic combination, a number of suggestions were made to Mr. Green, and among others the percussion system was recommended, but the veteran expressed his determination to adopt his own plan of lighting the fireworks from the car by means of a common lucifer match, to ignite a fusee connected with the " pieces" on the frame, and the lowering it by the windlass, the slow match burning for about a minute previous to the general ex plosion of the fireworks. The car having been attached to the balloon, Mr. Green previously deposited in it his barometer, a large lantern of pe culiar construction, his compass, map, a guide-line of about a thousand feet, grapnel, and between two and three hundred weight of ballast in bags ; the frame, with the fireworks, was then affixed to the car, great care being taken to prevent its position being reversed from the horizontal to the vertical, as in the case of Madame Blanchard, who lost her life in a night ascent at Paris, the frame, by an accident, becoming reversed, and the fireworks consequently playing into the car instead of beneath the balloon, ignited the silk and an explositmensued. After the arrangement of the metal preliminaries, Mr. Green entered the car alone, having been previously solicited by the Earl of Munster and Lord George Beresford to allow those noblemen to accompany him ; but Mr. Green felt it his duty, on account of the hazardous adventure, to decline the honour. At eleven o'clock the signal for ascent was given. Mr. Green immediately seized the " liberating iron" with one hand, and lighting the fusee with the other, the ascent took place amidst the cheers of the assembled thousands outside the gar dens and of the company within. Ttie fireworks in a few seconds became discharged, and a more brilliant aerial pyro technic exhibition was never witnessed. The balloon took a northerly direction. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. Monday the proprietor of these romantis gardens presented his numerous visitors with a series of entertainments, as inter esting as they were diverting. Prompted by loyalty, on the occasion of the return of the natal day of the Prince of Wales, Mr. Tyler, to signalize the event, presented specimens of the sports and pastimes of " Merrie Englande," in the olden time. From what we read about these, and the spirited enactment of them in the Surrey Zoologicdl Gardens yesterday, our ances tors must have been highly distinguished for their love of health ful jolity ; and to this day the famous names of Robin Hood and Friar Tuck carry the imagination back to the glade and brake of Sherwood's royal forest. The redoubtable characters just named figured in the mimic scene yesterday, with the utmost success. In addition to their freaks were, the Maypole Dance, the manly games of Single stick and Quarter-staff, those formidable weapons which, when dexterously used by our sturdy ancestors, were even a match for an armed man—jumping in sacks, creating roars oflaughter, jing ling-matches and archery ; as though these were not sufficient to attract crowds and delight them, there was the never-failing source of merriment, our old friend Punch, an encampment of real Gipsies, stalls and tents as at a country fair : and lastly, tfieugh hr from least, the picture town of " Auld Reekie ' illuminated. The whole concluded with a more than , ordi narily grand display of fire-works. Between the performance, the fine band of the Royal Artillery, added to the unrivalled band of the establishment, enhanced the scene by the, perform anc., of .everal of the most popular pieces of music, which were executed in a first-rate manner. The gardens poured forth their charms with additional beauty, and were redolent with " Hawthorn buds and sweet eglantine, and garlands of roses.'' They were crowded to excess with a very fashionable company Col;3lbisiCEM ENT of tile OYSTER S! , ,A -;( On Monday morning, at six o'•dock, the sa'e of oysters for the season commenced at Billingsgate, bet the poachers ho ob.ain oysters surreptitiously from ,the beds where our 6 , 11 e• men had laid them at great expense and trouble, anti cipated the 14 opcuirg of the 4easnn by supplying, many of the shell-fish hops with the luxury a v.eek or ten days ago. The demand, as usual, on the first day of oysters," as ap plied to the 4th of August,• was very great, the attendance of dealers numerous, and the oysters of good quality, but the supply was below the average. Soon after midnight on Sunday, the vendors of " real natives" (which are not to be had tilt the second week in September, though every shop and stall announced them) began pouring into the market, and at day-light several thousand persons were assembled, and a, double line of carts and other vehicles reached from the Tower along Lower Thames-street, Fish-street-hill, to Graeechurch street. The most admirable arrangements were made by Mr. Goldham, the clerk of the market, to prevent robberies and con fusion, and a strong force ot the City police were in attendance to carry out the arrangements. As all who were assembled at Bil lingsgate were not expected to be honest, boards, on which were painted in legible characters, " Take care of your pockets," were fixed in various places. The name of the cargo of every smack was also painter' on boards; and fixed to the rigging of each vessel, which effectually prevented impositions on the dealers, and Mr. Goldham himself sat in his own office as arbitrator, to adjust disputes, which be did with as much celerity as the Judge of the ancient Pie-poudre Court, and saved my Lord' Mayor and Aldermen a good deal of trouble in the course of the day. The hatches opened while the clock was striking six, and the sale commenced with great briskness and regularity, and proceeded with out a fight, without a row, and without . the loss of half a-dozen fish-venders in the river. Mr. Goldham has effeetually reformed Billingsgate, and some other place ought to be asso ciated with everything that is low and vulgar, as Billings gate was wont to be. There were fifty sail of vessels at market from the Isle of Sheppy, Rochester, Whitstable , Colchester, and Milton. The " commons" produced from 10s. to 16s. per bushel; the Welsh 18 8 . to lt. ; and the pearl , a very small and delicious oyster, equa l to the natives,' 1/. 10s. The supply of " Cheyney Rocks," a favourite oyster, which is included among the commons, was very good. It may not be generally known that the oysters f e d on the Kent and Essex coasts are brought from Jersey, France, Falmouth, and other places , and taken up again , when fattened, for the London market. Oysters are much scarcer than they used to be, which is attributable to the bane ful practice of selling them out of season. The late Act f or the regulation of the oyster fisheries will, it is hoped, check the evil, and prevent the wholesale robberies of the oyster beds for the benefit of the London shell fishmongers during those months when they ought not to be eaten. The measure at Billinsgat e is doubled, as regards oysters , ever y peck being a b ushel, ers. Theand they are measured out by regu larl y appointe d met d. supply at Hungerforcl-market was very inconsiderable , an con sisted of only tour sail. The prices wer• similar to those at Billingsgate: In the evening Mr. Goldham reported 20 smacks for this day's supply. ARRIVAL CF THE CHIN ESE RANSOM MONEY.— On Monday forenoon the Chinese ransom money, which was brought to England by the Cambrian, Commodore Chads, C. 8., was forwarded from Gosport by a special train, on the South-Western Railway, under the care of Mr. Cooper, of the Treasury department, and a guard of the Bth Regiment of Foot. The dpwholeeoted siufthien w) boa ransom, c7isting of 2,000.000 dollars, which and weighing about 62 cwt., was sent by rite train. On their arrival they were planed in ten waggons, each drawn by four horses, when they were taken to the Mint. There is another portion of Sycee silver expected, which will he the last of the ransom.

(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL. RUDDUCK V. FARMER. The plaintiff is a Manchester warehouseman in the City, and the defendant is a manufacturer of cotton. The claim was for 51. lOs., for cotton yarn supplied to defendant. To prove the plaintiff's case Mr. John Lavater, who de scribed himself as a merchant, at No. 4, St. Pancras-lane, de posed that the defendant called upon him in January, and asked him if he had some cotton to sell, describing what he wanted, and he told defendant that he had not, but had sold some to Mr. Rudduck, of the quality and price. Saw him two or three times about it, and the price was arranged. In his cross-examination he said he did not consider the debt was due to him, but to Rudduck. He had had dealings with defendant before, but had since been bankrupt. Had not entered this account as a debt due to him. Another witness, who delivered the goods, said he was Mr. Lavater's boy, but went to Rud duck for the cotton, and then he took the goods to defendant, and said that he brought it from Mr. Rudduck. Defendant asked how that was, and witness said he replied he did not know. Goring, clerk to plaintiff, deposed that he called upon defendant, who treated him very politely, and said that to tell him candidly, he did not mean to pay him. Witness asked no further question, as the matter was " settled" when he was not to have the money.—(Laughter.) The UNDER-SHERIFF said that when the invoice was pre sented in Rudduck'sname, defendant should have refused it. Mr. llasterman, the defendant's attorney, said it could hardly be expected that a poor Bethnal-green weaver knew the law; the only case, however, was this, whether he was to pay Lavater or Rudduck. He was willing topay either, if he could do so safely, but the official assignee under Lavater's estate had claimed the amount. _ The jury wished to know whether the assignee ought not to have been called. _ _ The UNDER. SHER IFF said no demand by the assignee could alter the facts of the dealing, the only question was whether they believed Lavater, if so, it was clear plaintiff was entitled to a verdict on the goods that had actually been in his warehouse. The jury gave a verdict for the full amount claimed. ASSIZE ENTELLIGENCE. HOME ClßGUlT.—Ctoydon, August 4 CROWN COURT—( Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE ) Frances Mary Wilson, the young woman who was acquitted on Saturday upon a charge of robbing her master, again sur rendered this morning to answer the other indictments that had been preferred against her. . . She was first arraigned upon a charge of stealing a cambric handkerchief, the property of Thomas Cook, her master. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Creasy again appeared to support the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Hawkins (who held Mr. Ballantine's brief) were for the prisoner. The evidence of Mr. Cook, the prosecutor, was to the effect that he purchased 18 cambric handkerchiefs at a Custom-house sale, and that he put his private mark upon them, and brought them into his stock on the 14th or 15th of May, at which time the prisoner was in his service. On the night of the same day he counted them, and found one was missing, and, upon his in quiring about it, every one employed on the establishment de nied any knowledge of it; and on his questioning the prisoner, she said that she had not sold one, and she likewise said she knew nothing about the handkerchief. He afterwards found the handkerchief in one of the prisoner's boxes when it was opened by the constable Collier ; and it was produced, and he swore that it was his propeaty. Cross-examined—He did not say at the station-house " the will get ten years, and I will get her fourteen if I can," but he did say that she was a wretch. He did not say that the prisoner dented knowing anything about the handkerchief when he was before the magistrate, at the examination of the prisoner. This was not because he had not forgotten it, but because he was not asked anything about it. The prosecutor was then asked by Mr. Clarkson whether he had not had some conversation with Inspector Collier outside the Court that morning, and he said he had, but he declined to state the particulars of the conversation, as they were per fectly irrelevan Mr. Justice 1 . 0 1,xarnce told him he must answer the ques tion. If he cC e to talk to the witnesses, he was bound to ate what took bo'ace. Thespriasecutorn l then said that he was standing outside the Court, and Collier told him that the prisoner's father had re ported that he. the inspector, and witness, had been in commu nication together respecting the property, and he replied that it was entirely false, for he had not seen the officer since the conclusion of the proceedings on Saturday. Cross-examination continued—Witness suspected the pri soner was robbing him for a month before she was taken into custody, and the young men were set to watch her. One of them reported that a piece of cambric had been taken from her " playfully," and that he could identify it from its having his writing upon it, and on the morning before the prisoner was taken into custody it was intimated to him it would be better the piece of cambric should be given back to the prisoner. He did not recollect who said it would be better, but they had a consultation about it, and it was arranged that the piece of cambric should be thrown about " playfully" by the young men in the shop, so that the prisoner might have an opportunity to take it, which she did, and put it in her pocket ; and it was , understood that when it was in her possession the inspector should be sent for to take her into custody. He had consulted Collier upon the subject, but he did not tell him anything about the manner in which the piece of cambric in question had come into the prisoner's possession on the morning of the 18th of June. Mr. CLARKSON asked the prosecutor whether the object he sought to attain was not for the inspector to find, as it were by accident, this piece of cambric upon the person of the prisoner? The prosecutor denied that he had such an object ; but it was admitted in the course of further cross••examination, that when he first applied to the inspector, on the morning of the 18th of June, he did.not say a word to him about the piece of cambric; and it was only after his return to the shop, where the 66 play ful" scene was enacted, and the prisoner got it into her pos session, that the inspector was immediately called upon to take the prisoner into custody. The prosecutor was next asked whether he did not, while the prisoner was at the station .house, use most opprobrious epithets to her, and he denied most positively having done so. Inspector Collier was the next witness. He merely produced the handkerchief, and deposed that he found it in one of the prisoner's boxes. Upon being cross-examined, he said that the prosecutor came to him on the morning of the 18th of June, and told him he suspected Miss Wilson had been robbing him, and referred to a transaction that had taken place that day, when the pri soner cut off a small quantity of glazed lining for a dress, and gave it openly :he shop to a dressmaker named Grainger. Mr. Cook went away for about 20 minutes, and when he came back he told him to go with him immediately and apprehend the prisoner. He likewise said it was very probable he told Mr. Cook that he had never in all his experience heard of a felony being committed in the presence of so many people. The prisoner was in convulsions nearly all the time the case was under examination by the magistrates, and while she was in that state he heard the prosecutor say that hell was ton good for her. Mr. CLA RKSON—Did you hear him also call her a Witness—l did not hear him use that expression, but he did use a vulgar and opprobrious epithet, and I rebuked him for it. He also said that hell was too good for her. Mr. CLARKSON—And this was while the prisoner was in a fainting and almost insensible state? Witness—lt was. The witness was then questioned as to what conversations had taken place between him and the prosecutor, and he swore positively that he had not made any such statement as that de posed to by the prosecutor as having taken place outside the court that morning. Some other persons, in the serviee of Mr. Cook, were then examined, to show that they had not sold the handkerchief to the prisoner, and that she had not made any mention to them of its being in her possession. Mr. CLARKSON then addressed the jury, and commented with considerable severity upon the conduct of the prosecutor, and urged upon the jury the impossibility of placing any re liance upon such testimony as had been given in support of the prosecution. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE having summed up, the jury re tired, and were in deliberation about five minutes ; when they returned into Court, The Learned Junex, in reference to the scene that took place on Saturday, said, that before the verdict was delivered, whatever that verdict might be, he requested no person would presume to exhibit any manifestation of feeling. It was very improper, and he should certainly commit any one who was observed to be guilty of disturbing the Court. The jury then returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Mr. BODKIN said, that after what had taken place, he should not offer any evidence upon the other indictment, and verdicts of " Not Guilty" were accordingly recorded. The prisoner wan ordered to be immediately discharged. • The business on the Civil Side has been entirely uninterest ing, and Lord Chief Justice Tindal was occupied the whole of to-day in disposing of three petty cases of trespass. The ape. cial jury causes will not come on before Wednesday. OXFORD CIRCUIT. —Monmouth, Aug. 2. CROWN COURT—(Before Lord Chief Justice Dr:amass.) Edward Price, 66, was indicted for the violation of Ann Hall, at Abergavenny, on the 18th July and found, Guilty.— Sentence one year's imprisonment • George Jenkins, 23, surrendered to an indictment, charging him with violently assaulting Maria Meyrick, on the 16th May, at Newport. On the night in question, a young woman named Higgins, slept in their house, and was awoke about two o'clock by hearing screams, which proceeded from the unfortunate wo man, who ran into the room, followed by the prisoner, who called on her to go down. She refused, on which he said it • should be worse for her, and went down stairs. In a short time he returned into Higgins's room with a poker in his hand, with which he struck the victim of his brutality several blows. He then dragged her down stairs again and renewed his vio lence ; she cried out. Higgins went to her, and found her lying on the bed, in her night clothes, covered with 'blood, and the prisoner sitting on a chair opposite to her. Higgins took the poker and hid it from him. The two women then went in their night clothes to the station-house, and Meyrick was taken to bed at a neighbouring house, by direction of the police autho-ities of the borough of Newport, who instituted the present pia secution. A brush handle, broken in two pieces, was found on the bed. When taken, the prisoner said, " I did it, and I kicked her several times." Having been found Guilty, Lord DENMAN sentenced him to he transported for fifteen year'. William Pritchard, 30, Henry Johnson, '22 (a man of colour), and Richard May, 22, were indicted for burglariously breaking open the dwelling house of Charles Ark well, at Caldi cot, on the night of the 21st April, add stealing a side of bacon, three spoons, and other articles therefrom. The prosecutor and his wife, two old people, live in a small cottage in a solitary place. On the night in question, the prisoners broke into the house, which consisted of two rooms only, both on the ground floor. The old people heard the door broken open about two o'clock, and Johnson with Pritchard immediately came in, one standing on each side of the bed. The old man had risen up in bed, and said, " What do you want?" Johnson replied, " Money, and money we'll have, or blow your brains out." He pushed the old man down in the bed, and pressed his band over his mouth, Pritchard standing over the old woman with a great bludgeon in his hand. They said, " Its no use, if we can't do it we have got a lot more outside, and we'll bring 'em in." Ark well, on this said, " Take all we've got, but spare our lives." The prisoners then opened the boxes, and ransacked about for nearly an hour. Pritchard then asked the old lady for the key of the other room, and she gave it to him, and they both went in, leaving the old couple locked in their bed-room. The prosecutor heard them go away in ten or fifteen mi nutes after. They were obliged to get an iron bar to open their bed-room door after the robberi were gone, and they found that the articles named in the indictment had been taken away by the burglars. Pritchard took the old man by the shoulder when they first came in, and said, " Give up yourself and money, or you shall hang." Mrs. Arkwell looked out through the window, and by the light of the moon, which was shining brightly, saw May standing at the garden-gate, leaning on his left arm, to whom Johnson went out and spoke. He came back and said to Pritchard, " Can't thee find anything? Look again. They've got some. and we'll have it." She was more frightened when they went into the next room, as she thought they were going to get something to kill her with, and begged them not. Several witnesses were called to prove an alibi, but the prisoners were found Guilty. Johnsen and Pritchard were sentenced to 15 years' transportation, and May to one year's hard labour. John Jones, who was yesterday convicted of stabbing Henry Morgan, was sentenced to 15 years' transportation. John Brothers and William Jones, convicted of a burglary, were also sentenced to 10 years transportation on the first in dictment, and to be fined Is. on the second. The business of these assizes concluded about five o'clock. POLICE IN TELLIGENC E. QUEEN SQUARE. Mary Ann Smith and William Edwards were charged with robbing Mr. B. Poussin, a gentleman residing at 23, Grosvenor-place South, of his gold watch, value 20 guineas. At about eleven o'clock on the previous night he saw the female prisoner standing in Loc er Grosvenor-place, and having looked at her as he passed, she made some observation in a very polite tone about the weather, and considering by her ap pearance that she was not a girl f the town, he entered into conversation with her, in the course of which she repeatedly expressed her fears that it must be getting very late—certainly past eleven, when he took out. his watch to acquaint her with the precise time. She then put her arm in his " in a very re spectful manner," and requested him to accompany her a short way towards her home, and as he considered her " a very smart little thing," he walked a few paces with her, when, on arriving at Ranelagh.mews, she was about to turn down there. The prosecutor informed her that there was no thoroughfare, when the lady began to caress him, and entreated him to accompany her down the mews, which he reluctantly did, and she then pulled him into a dark passage, where he had not been half-a-minute, when she gave a cough of such a particular character, that he at once felt assured it was a signal, and rushed out of the passage. At that moment he felt his progress stopped by what he supposed at that time to be the female' holding him by the coat, and in the next the male prisoner was by his side, and seizing him by the arms, inquired what he was ill-using the female for. Prosecutor called " Police !" and a constable coming up at the moment, he discovered that his gold watch had been b'roken from the ring with great violence, and gave the prisoner into custody. Search was subsequently made for the watch, but it was nowhere to be found. James Brun, 91 B, said that hearing a signal cough, and seeing the male prisoner hastening down the mews, he fol lowed slowly behind him, and saw him turn towards the dark passage spoken of. In a minute afterwards there was a cry of " Police,' and he went to the spot, and took the prisoners. He had no opportunity of looking for the watch then, as he could not let go those he had in custody, and had no lamp with him. The address given by the male prisoner at the station he had found, on inquiries that morning, to be false. It having been stated by a constable that the male prisoner had been previously convicted at the Old Bailey, BuRRELL inquired what the accused had to say? The female declared that she never saw the watch, and did not even know that the gentleman had one, and pretended to be unacquainted with the man, who coolly observed, "that he should reserve his defence for another occasion." They were remanded until Saturday. ()GERKEN Ii Tames Towgood was charged with knowingly aiding and abetting in the working of a private still. Hardy, 128 G, deposed that on Monday morning, about one o'clock. lie was on duty near Northampton-pow, Clerkenwell, when there was an alarm of thieves at No. 12 in that row. Witness proceeded thither, and found some persons assembled around the house, and knocking at the door. Witness went to the back part of the premises for the purpose of clambering over the' wall, in order to get into the house, when he saw the prisoner running on a wall, and he made an alarm of " Stop thief," and he was shortly afterwards apprehended by an excise officer named Harris. On entering the house with the excise officers, they found in the kitchen a private still in full work, with a furnace. and 100 gallons of wash or molasses, all of which were taken possession of. The prisoner said he was em ployed to take care of the house and still, and hearing knock ing at the door, he fancied that the excise officers were after the parties, and knowing he was subject to three months' im prisoninent, he tried to make his escape. Thomas Harris, of 9, Northampton-row, an excise officer, deposed that yesterday morning, at the above hour, witness was at his residence, when he had occasion to go to the back part of the premises, on which he saw the prisoner running along a wall separating Spafields Burial-ground from the houses is Northampton-row. Witness asked him where he was going. He said I have only been taking care of a private still, and I am making my escape from the excise officers ; and he begged of witness to grant him protection. Witness replied, I am very sorry for you, but I cannot grant. your request, as I am a custom-house officer myself, and it is my duty to detain you. He did so, and he was ultimately given into custody of Hardy, the officer, who with witness and another excise officer, proceeded to the house and found the still and wash, &c. George Whitmore, an exciseman, deposed that he was called upon by the last witness to go to the house in Northampton row. He corroborated in part the above evidence. Mr. GREENWOOD said it was rather unfortunate for the prisoner to have claimed the protection of Mr. Harris, the excise officer. It was completely running into the lion's mouth. He asked the prisoner what he had to say in his defence? The prisoner said he had been out of work some time. He met a man on Saturday night who asked him if he wanted a job, and replying in the affirmative he said he would give him one, to take care of a private still at the house in Northampton row, alluded to. The man gave him some bread, butter, and beer, and promised to pay him for his trouble. On hearing the alarm he tried to make his escape, thinking the excise officers had come. Mr. GREENWOOD—Did you know the man, or his name ? Prisoner—l did not know him. He said his name was Pitts. Mr. GREENWOOD—You don't expect me to believe all this. It is the sort of defence that thieves generally set up, that they meet strange persons in the street, who employ them to carry property. He convicted him in the penalty of 301., or three months' imprisonment with hard labour, in the House of Correction. Mary _Dowling, a young woman, was charged by Mark Griffiths, a labouring young man, with having stabbed him, with intent to murder. The prisoner positively denied the charge against her. Mr. GREENWOOD said he would remand the prisoner, and she was conveyed to prison. WORSHIP-STREET. Two men named James Thompson and Wm. Cunnington were placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged on sus picion of having stolen two valuable sporting dogs, the property of Mr. Burnell, a licensed victualler, at King's cross. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor that on the night of Wednesday last his back premises were forcibly entered. and two sporting dogs, a setter and pointer of the value of twenty guineas, were stolen from their kennels. He immediately gave information to the police and caused handbills to be widely circulated, offering a reward of Si. for their restoration and detention the thieves, but heard nothing more respecting t',em until the preceding after noon, when the prisoner called upon him and stated that he had seen the dogs in the possession of two men in Nelson street, Bethnal-green, awl would point him out the house to which they had been taken, but . enjoined him to be very quiet and cautious, or the animals would be carried off without a chance of their recovery. He accordingly re paired to Nelson-street with the prisoner, whom he left at the end of the street, and proceeded to the house in which he said the animals were secreted, and was there answered by an old woman, who, on being questioned, declared that they had been carried away at three o'clock that afternoon, but that he would. find Mr. Cunnington, the landlord, at an adjoining public house, where he would obtain further information. After an ineffectual search for Cunnington at every public-house in the neighbourhood, he returned again to the house, and was an swered by another woman, who denied all knowledge of the dogs, but her daughter, who was standing by during the con versation, gave him a private signal to follow her, and imme diately led him into a room down stairs, in which there was a trap door, communicating with the cellar. On raising the flap he saw the two dogs coupled together in the cellar, and having descended a ladder and unfastened them, he was making his way through a small door into the back yard, when the woman he had last seen began screaming out " Murder," at the same time dropping the trap, and fasten ing the door of the yard to prevent his egress. After several ineffectual attempts to get out, he was at length obliged to scale a wall into another yard, and make his way into the street, with the dogs, through an adjoining house. He then returned to the spot where he had left the prisoner Thompson, with whom he made an arrangement to call at his house and receive the 5/. reward, but in consequence of a sub sequent communication from the police, on his arrival at the time appointed, he gave him into custody. Sergeant Price stated that on the preceding night the pri soner Cunnington called at the station-house, and after ex pressing himself anxious to communicate all be knew about the transaction, said that a quantity of household furniture belong ing to a person named Harrison had been left at his house with a request that he would take care of it, and that shortly after wards the two dogs were brought by a wan who stated that they were also Harrison's property. Witness felt it his duty to detain Cunnington in custody, and the prisoner Thompson was shortly after brought to the station, when the other pri soner immediately charged him with being the man who had brought the dogs to hi s h ouse un d er th e above circumstances. Police-constable Burcham, H 58, stated he had ascertained the man Harrison, alluded to by the prisoner, was a notorious dog-stealer, and that he had surreptitiously removed his furni ture to the house in Nelson.street to defraud his landlord. The prisoner Cunnington was not known to the police, but the other prisoner had only recently undergone twelve months' imprison ment on a conviction for felony. In their defence, both prisoners denied all knowledge of the robbery ; and Thompson said that he had been employed to convey the dogs to the house by two men, who gave him some halfpence for his trouble. Mt. Beoue neon said that he considered the evidence against the prisoner Thompson was altos/ether incompatible with his innocence ; he would, therefore, remand him for further exami nation at a future day ; but as he had some doubt as to whether the other prisoner had received possession of the dogs with a guilty knowledge, he would accept bail for the latter's ap pearance. GREEATVICII. ELOPEMENT AND ROBBERY. —On Monday a showily-dressed female. named Caroline Sandwell, and a man, named Francis Griffiths. a cab driver, were charged before Mr. Grove with being drunk and creating a disturbance in the public street. Police-constable Seiler deposed that on Saturday night about half-past ten he was on duty in the Greenwich-road, when hearing Is disturbance he went to the spot whence the noise proceeded, and there found the female prisoner in high alter cation with the male prisoner and another man, who turned out to be her husband, who was endeavouring to persuade her to return home, she having eloped from him on the Thurs day previous. Mr. Evans, a solicitor of Lee. here entered the Court with the husband, and, producing the marriage certificate, informed the magistrate that he appeared oo the behalf of the hes lewd, who was the landlord of the White Lion public house, Church-hill. Woolaich, ana that the unfortunate woman at the bar had eloped from him with a paramour on Thursday last, taking with her bank notes to the amount of 1151., besides a quantity of gold and silver, and several boxes of wearing adparel, &c., a large portion of which she had pawned, not less than twenty` duplicates relating to the property having been found upon her when taken into custody. He felt bound to say that the male prisoner was not in any manner connected with the elopement, or in the removal o the property fr:an the husband's house ; but, on the ether hand, had given such important information as would even tually lead to the recovery of a considerable portion of the ab stracted property. Mr. Sandwell, the husband, deposed to the whole of the above facts, adding the painful circumstance that his wife, when she left her home on Thursday, took away with her their only child, an infant not twalve months old. In answer to a question by the Illagistrate, Mr. Sandwel stated that they had not been married quite two years. The defendant Griffiths said, -in defence, that he was not drunk ; he was merely demanding his fare, which the female refused to pay unless he drove her back to town, when the officer came up. Mr. GROVE said the police-constable had sworn otherwise ; but as he bad rendered Mr. Sandwell an essential service, he should deal very leniently with the case, and only fine him 55., which having paid he was discharged. With respect to the female she had better retire with her husband to give him all the information respecting where she had placed Isis pro perty, and to come to any arrangement he might think proper to propose. The parties then retired, and in half an hour returned, when Mr. Evans said that they had now full information, and that the person in whose hands 100/. of the money had been placed , would, ins the husband going to him, with a police-constables deliver it up. Mr. GROVE severely lectured the woman on her disgraceful eonduct to her husband, who said her husband had ill-treated her. This the husband positively denied ; he had invariably treated her with kindness and affection, but he could not con' sent again to receive her. The MAGISTRATE remarked that he was not bound to do so• However, the husband could not prosecute his wife, and she must be discharged, and the property found in her possession when taken into custody, together with the twenty pawnbrb ers' duplicates must be delivered to her husband. When she left the bar her husband presented her with bs., telling her that was all she must ever expect from hiin. Dublin. .ug. 2. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 0. (Before ➢lr.

The solicitor to the fiat applied for the sanction of the Court for the attendance of the official assignee to pay the dividend at Chichester, for as it would be the third, and of very small amount. it would be a great loss to come up to London, as there were 1,500 creditors. . . Mr. Whitmore, the official assignee, said he was always ready to attend, and had even paid dividends at the Isle of Wight. The real question was, whether the Court would allow costs to the solicitor for attending to identify the parties. The COMMISSIONER said he could not admit as a general principle the necessity of the solicitor to attend and identify the parties—it was not even required at the bank. The official assignee said in these cases so many names were alike that it was a convenience. The COMMISSIONER said that if the official assignee deemed it necessary it should be done. The order was accordingly made. The amount of dividend will be declared and advertised in a few days. MARKET NE VV S=(YESTERDAV SAY Atazicars.
