A MIRACLE IN FAA:' CE. A LIVING BEAR DESTROYED BY A DEAD SAINT. The priesthood of France are determined not to be behind the rest of the world in miracles; but the manner by which they seek to increase the num ber of the faithful is more interesting and ro- ' mantic than the winking virgins of more clumsy contrivers. They are assiduously promulgating a story of the destruction of a monstrously big Bruin by the ghost of St. Bruno. A huge and fero cious bear has long spread terror amongst the pea santry of the Chartreuse D?sert, and devastation amongst their cattle. When the snows appeared last month, the brute became particularly impudent. One night the child of a woodman belonging to the monastery of S. Bruno was taken ill. The father' set out in the dead of the night to the monastery, and obtained from one of the fathers a bottle of medicine, with which, after a hasty prayer to the Virgin for the safety of his darling, he returned towards his hut in the mi ist of a raging tempest. Ho cared little for the storm, however, but be terribly feared the ferocious bear. He had to cross a ravine over the trunk of a tree, and just as he had reached the middle of the narrow bridge, on which it was impossible to turn, he saw the big bear with gnash ing teeth awaiting his arrival. The torrent roared be low, and the poor man expected nothing 'but instant death. In his extremity he prayed to St. Bruno; a light appeared, the saint stood beside the bear, handed the poor man safely across, at the same time d*shing the bear into the ravine, where its body was found next morning. The child recovered, and the woodman related the miracle to the fathers, and returned thanks for his preservation. The skin of the bear is exhibited in Paris, and sermons have been preached on the wondrous event. A NIGHT IN THE SHINING CLIFF. On the return of the trip from Scarborough, on Monday night last, there arrived per special train at Ambergate, a party of travellers. Having to walk a distance of four or five miles, they held a deliberation as to whether it would be advisable to take a short cut through the woods, or keep the main road ; the deci sion was given is favour of the former, on two of the party declaring they knew the road perfectly well. One of them, to prove his qualification as a guide, said he could find the road with his eyes shut. On passing the Forge, which lay between them and the wood, they proceeded at a rapid pace. After walking about a mile they found to their mortification they had taken a wrong turn, and, as was afterwards discovered, just in the opposite direction to the one they should have taken ; but as a re trograde movement was anything but inspi riting, they still determined to advance. Shortly afterwards they came to a cross-road, when, thinking it might possibly lead in the right direction, they passed it. The vexatious disappointment of the party is more easily to be conceived than described, when they found that it led to an old barn. After searching about some time, a footpath was discovered; the party of disconsolates followed it. but alas I all traces of it disappeared in a short time. Grown reckless, the poor unfortunates rushed on, unmindful of hog, fern, or bramble ; several of them came to a sticking point—in the mud—and it was only by the exertions of their companions that they were extri cated. Again they came across a road, and it was proved to the joy of all by the aid of a match, the night being too dark to see without one, that convey ances of some description did occasionally pass that way. Tills eventually led them to an opening about 400 yards from the place where they had first started, making a circumambulation of six or seven miles.— Derby Reporter. THE NEW COUNTY LUNATIC ASYLUM AT COLNEY HATCH. This very extensive and beautifully designed edifice, which has been in the course of erection since the spring of 1849, is zo nearly completed as to leave no doubt that in a few days it will be fit for the recep tion of inmates. The grand inauguration will, how ever, it is understood, be delayed till the ensuing spring, at which his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who laid the foundation•stone in May, 1849, is ex• petted to officiate. . . _ The site of the structure is on an elevated and sa lubrious spot, to the eastward of Highgate, and, being surrounded. by an amphitheatre of hills, presents a most beautifully- picturesque appearance. It is in the Italian style of architecture, with stone coigns and dressings, from a design by Mr. J. Daukes, and from its vast extent, being in length 1,881 feet, 8 Inches, and depth 670 feet 6 inches (33 feet longer end 260 feet deeper than the building for 1851, in Hyde-park), the whole, with the attached grounds, occupying 118 acres, sur rounded by a substantial wall, it has the semblance of a new town, this effect being heightened by the numerous and various campanile towers with which rt is adorned. Nearly 1,400 men have been constantly engaged in the erection of the building, which has been rendered perfectly fire-proof. The total num ber of rooms, including the chapel, infirmaries, and other offices, is no less; than OS7. The corridors and other portions are paved with Orsi and Armani's p a t e nt metallic hva, the centre colonnade with the seine material, ornamented like mosaic pavement, and in some places, to relieve the monotony usually pro duced by the ordinary brown asphalt, , , a pure white kind has been intredued. The roofing of the ter races and fiats is also covered with metallic lava, which is perfectly impervious to moisture: For the supply of water an Artesian well has been sunk to the depth of 350 feet, and arrangements are making for the manufacturing of gas on the premises for the supply of this building and the neighbouring (the Great Northern) railroad. Toe builder is Mr. Myers, who is at this time erecting similar asylums at Lincoln, and at Brent wf,o,3, in Essex. Among the principal apartments may be mentioned elegant boAri-room, 30 feet by 20 feet,..which, like th:.! Hotel do Ville, in Paris, the palaces of the Queen of Spain, Versailles, Sc?.., has the walls covered with mldern Venetian stucco, manufactured by Orsi and AT inani, most beautifully polished and colourei, to represent panels of Sienna marble, enclosed in borders of Clrira, and decorated with medallions of the vert de nzer antique marbles, the whole presenting a cha%te and elegant appearance. The largest room, 112 feet long and 58 feet 6 aches wile, is fitted with orchestra, and is to be a;;- owriated for balk concerts, and other anuieutervs f ithia unfortunate inmates, and will bear the name of the " enterthinment-room." I,ir. B. hutch (chairman of the committee) and several other county magistrates have paid frtquent visits to the works, and have expressed unqualified approval of the nrade in which they have been con laded. A DISAPPOINTMENT. A vessel has arrived in the Gloucester Docks, from St. Melo, during the last few days, with a cargo of fine apples and pears, purchased in France by a dealer of Birmingham, for the benefit of the lieges of that town. An amusing incident is connected with the voyage of the ship. The Customs authorities, it appears, received information whilst the vessel was making her passage, that the apples were merely a cover fur 13 tons of tobacco which she bad shipped ; and accordingly, off Beachey, she was boarded by a tide-surveyor and his men, and practically taken pos session cf, on suspicion of being a smuggler. The vessel duly entered the basin at Sharpness, and had commezced.tracking up the canal, when a suspicious looking man came on board, and asked the master to give hi en a passage to Gloucester. The request was rea dily granted, and the stranger lent a hand i❑ the work of the ship, all of which not only tended to confirm the Custom-house officers in their idea that they had got a prize, hut led them to suspect that the stranger was the owner of the tobacco. The master, on being asked who he wag, could not te11,,, or, as the officers thought, would nut; and, coupled with his vanishing, made cocksure that they had got into a good thing, and probably, in imagination, had touched the three thousand pounds odd which they would be entitled to if they were not disappointed. The bn , lk was promptly broken by the merchant, the officers kept a sharp look out on the cargo as it was sent on shore, and at night they wheeled a wooden house down to the side of the vessel to watch lest any attempt should be made to carry away the golden apples during the night. The affair created much noise at the docks, and the gra dual shrinking of the cargo was eagerly watched. At length, after much 6i hope deferred," the workmen reached the keel of the vessel, and found—nothing.— Gloucester Joarnal. - ----. SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 17.—The Royal .

MUNIFICENT CHARITABLE BEQUESTS,--The Will of William John Frodsham, Esq., late of Stoke Newington, and formerly of 'Change-alley, chronometer-maker, who d'ed last June, has just been sworn to, and his property proved to be 80,000/.

A letter from Stuttgardt of the 13,h, in the Post Ampt Gazette, says :—" We have received from a source on which we can rely, the important news that an arrangement between the two great Powers of G2rmany, on the German question, will be soon come to ; and that in order to extricate Elec toral Hesse from the complicated situation in which she is placed, it has been agreed upon that M. de Ilassenpflug shall be dismissed, but that he shall provisionally remain Minister of the Diet of Frankfort until the moment when Prussia shall take part with all the Union. If, notwithstanding the withdrawal of M. de Hassenpflug, an interven tion in Hesse be necessary to re-establish the autho rity of the Sovereign, it shall take place on the part of Austria and Prussia. It is also said that Prussia will withdraw her troops from Southern Germany, with `he exception of a small garrison at Rastadt, and a small body in the principality of Sigmaringen. The publication of the conferences at Bregentz, it is ex pected, will take place very shortly." Accounts from Cassel of the 13th say—" An order of the day has been addressed by Lieutenant-General Ilaynau to all the colonels of regiments, giving to each officer an indeterminate delay to reflect on the gravity of their conduct. General Haynau expresses hope that the officers will address themselves to him, either verbally or by writing, to remove any doubts they may have relative to the Constitution. EGYPT. The Paris Journal des 'Mats has the following on the affairs of Egypt :—" The last news which we re ceive from Egypt speak at great length of certain changes which had lately taken place in the personnel of the high functionaries of that country. We find in some letters bitter complaints against the adminis tration of the Viceroy ; while others, on the contrary, contain nothing but a string of eulogiums, par ticularly induced by the discharge of Artem Bay, formerly Minister of Commerce and Foreign Affairs. The motives of,this dismissal are, we are as sured, very serious, and the gravest charges of mal versation of the public money weigh against him. In the absence of precise information, we give the following without comment. Numerous reforms were attempted after the death of Ibrahim Pacha by his successor, Abbas Pacha, the present Vice roy, in order to alleviate the miseries and burdens of the persons engaged in agriculture, and to render articles of life cheaper. The personal tax was diminished by six millions of francs, and the duty on land, meat, and various articles of primary necessity has been sensibly reduced. These innovations naturally led to some changes in the per sonnel of the functionaries, and hence arose numerous complaints from private interests at the expense of the general interests of the country. The views of the Pacha ware latterly completely thwarted by the system followed by Artim Bey, the Minister of Commerce and Foriegn Affairs. This system, in contempt of the trea t ies of commerce with foreign powers, tended to re-esta blish, for the benefit of some, the old monopoly which had been abolished for the benefit of all ; the auctions of the produce of the land belonging to the State, the adjudications of the works to be executed, and of sup plies of all kinds ceased to he free; it was a blow aimed at the entire commerce of Alexandria and of Cairo. The department of commerce was taken from Artim Bey ; but the Pacha, in consequence perhaps of the support giren to his Minister by the Sublime Porte, wished him to retain that of Foreign Affairs. Artim Bey, who was then at Alexandria, was informed of this decision, and at the same time was requested to come to Cairo to see the Pacha. A few days after it was announced at Alexandria that Artim Bey could not proceed to Cairo to the Viceroy, in consequence of indisposition, but immediately after he suddenly embarked on board a French packet boat for Constantinople, whence, it is said, he proceeded to Beyrout. What is the meaning of this flight ? Will it give strength to the accusations brought against Artim Bey ? Our next letters will doubtless inform us. The nomination of the new Ministers is already known; Stephen Bey, formerly director of the Egyptian School at Paris, is appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Edden Pacha Minister of Commerce. Both of them have resided a long time in Europe, particularly in France and England. ITALY. The Gazetta Popolare of Cagliari gives an account of a curious combat which took place on the 22d ult. between two priests in the sacristy of the church of Itiri. The cause of their quarrel appears to have been the result of the communal elections, in which both the combatants had played a conspicuous part under different colours. The elder priest, aged 70, had given his brother of the cloth, a young man of 30, a couple of vigorous cuffs, which the latter having returned, he was knocked down by his venerable an tagonist, who, not content with such victory, took up the heavy cross used in processions, and would have dashed out the fallen man's brains, had he not been stopped by the timely interference of the sexton and other people, whom the noise had attracted to the spot. Still the valiant Nestor did not relent, but re turned to the chargtl with a ponderous chandelier, which was with difficulty wrenched out of his hands. Meantime the younger priest had ral lied, and pronounced an excommunication against his terrible r.ntagonist. The Bishop was after wards appealed to by both parties ; the old priest was suspended a divinis on his con f-ssing the facts ; as for the excommunication, the bishop had to write to Rome, as he bad no power to quash it. The same journal mentions a dispute which has arisen between the syndic of Suni and the superior of a convent of mendicants, on account of the former having forbid those friars to ask alms, on the ground that the laws against mendicancy were to be enforced without distinction of persons. The superior has announced to the syndic that he has in curred excommunication in consequence of such pro- The same journal states that the Provincial Council of Nuovo (Sardinia) closed its sittings on the 20th ult., after having voted an addre ss t o th e Government for the abolition of convents, the reduc tion of bishoprics to three, and the mobilisation of church property. The . Goidaloniere of Leghorn has convoked the electors of that town fur the third time, fur the elec;ion of members of the Communal Council, to take place on the 15th, there not having been a eufli• cient number of votes at the last election. Count Ferdinand B irtholommei, one of the com munal councillors of Florence, was absent from that city at the time the address for the revival of the constitution was voted by the Council. He has now addressed a letter from Turin, dated the 11th, to his colleagues at Florence, declaring his adhesion to their vote, and highly commending the conduct of Signor Peruzzi, which had caused his dismissal from office. ALARMING STATE OF AFFAIRS IN RIO JANEIRO. We have just received the following letter from the capital of Brazil:— " Rio, July 9. " I avail myself of the staling of a vessel for Lis bon to write a few lines to inform you of the state 0 things here. " I inclose a paragraph from the Jornal do Comer cio relating to the operations of the Cormorant steamer, and have only time to add a few facts illustrative of the public feeling among the natives of Rio, and the alarming predicament in which British subjects are placed. " The populace are furious, and matar os Ingleses' is the cry in every street of Rio de Janeiro. Several Englishmen have already been beaten and ill-treated; amongst others Captain Henniogton, the owner of an English merchant vessel in harbour. An English gentleman of my acquaintance had a narrow escane on the evening of the 7th, a large stone passing within a few inches of his head. The Government, of course, will try to stop this sort of thing, but I much fear they will not have the power. "In the meantime, no single step has been taken to secure the persons and property of British subjects here ; and it is stated that the Cormorant has gone out to attack the fort of Macahe. This will neces sarily add fuel to the flame. "The Emperor went in person this morning, to inspect all the forts of the harbour ; and ammunition has been sent on board all the Brazilian vessels of war. We have only the Southampton, the Lily brig, the Packet, and one steamer, the Harpy. The two other steamers are out cruising. " Altogether the aspect of affairs is very ugly, and we feel ourselves anything but comfortable. The in dignation of the people is thoroughly roused, and God knows what will be the result. With such a populace as that of Rio we have the worse to dread. Surely such measures are imprudent, let them emanate from whom they may. "In exchange nothing is doing. Our coffee mar ket has improved ; the whole stock was sold at an advance in price, and we have not 5,000 bags in the marke. "We have dates from Monte Video up to the 17th ult. The report that yellow fever was raging there is contradicted. The paragraph from the Jornal do Comercio re ferred to in the above is as follows : " With shame we announce that a new outrage, more lamentable than any that have preceded it, has been perpetrated by an English cruiser in the port of Paranagug. We will endeavour to state the proceed ings exactly as they occurred : " The English steamer Cormorant went from Cabo Frio to the port of Faranagua, entered it, and pro ceeded to overhaul the Brazilian shipping anchored there. _ _ _ " It bad barely commenced this operation when the fort opened its fire, but as the steamer was out of range of its small guns no effect was produced. The Cormorant then took possession of four of the vessels it bad visited—the Leonidas, the Astrea, the Serea, and the Anna—took them in row, and began to drag them out of the harbour. " The fort again fired on the steamer in passing, killed one sailor, and wounded two. Immediately the steamer cast off the vessels it had taken in tow, took up a position, and opened a fire on the f o rt, which did not cease till it was dismantled. The steamer then took the vessels it had released again in tow, car ried them out of the port, and, as we are informed, burned them. "In the absence of any official report, none having yet been received, we are obliged to stop here iu our narrative of a transaction which cannot fail to create a profound sensation throughout the whole of our country. " We are ignorant of the fate of the garrison, but it is to be feared that in part, at least, they have fallen victims in the discharge of their duty. " It is certain that the Council of State is holding a meeting."—Daily News. THE DOCKS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sut,—There has appeared in your paper the fol lowing paragraph, purporting to come from a corre spondent : " There are upwards of sixty landing waiters, weighers, lockers, and gaugers taking stock in the vaults and ware houses of the S'. Katharine's and London Docks. In s'me of the warehouses there are tens of thousands of packages to b 3 examined. There is a great mystery ob served about the stock-taking, but the Custom-house authorities appear confident that when their labours are completed they shall be able to make revelations about the practices in the above-mentioned docks which will astonish the commercial public. At present there is no idea that the directors of the docks themselves are at all implicated in any improper transactions." As the Superintendent of the London Docks, I beg to say that a taking of stock by the officers of the Customs in the warehouses and vaults of the London Docks has been in process since the 28th September last, during which time, and up to the 14th inst., 61,000 packages of dry goods have been unpiled and rest° wed ; 70,977 packages of dry goods were taken account of as they lay—Total, 131,977 packages of dry goods. 19,427 casks of wines and spirits have been examined ; 521 casks of wines and spirits have been dipped; 7 casks of wines and spirits have been bored—Total, 19,955 casks of wet goods. And that up to this moment the examinatiou has not produced a single case in which the revenue has been damnified to the extent of one farthing. This taking of stock goes forward in the most open manner. There is no mystery about this or any other proceeding in the London Docks. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS CHANDLER, Superintendent of the London Docks. London Docks, Oct. 16. REMOVAL of the LIVERPOOL POST-OFFICE. A committee of the Chamber of Commerce had a conference with the sub committee of the Council on Thursday in reference to this subject. The pro position of the Chamber was that the Council should fix upon the site, and erect a suitable build ing, the Government to pay a fair rent for the accommodation ; and the intimation was given that for this course the Government was prepared. The plan, it is said, has the approval of Mr. William Brown, who will use every effort to carry it into effect. A special meeting of the council of the Cham ber of Commeice was held on Monday, Mr. William Brown in the chair, when it was communicated that officers from the Treasury, Post-office, and Inland De partment had been appointed to proceed to Liverpool, for the purpose of meeting a deputation, in compliance with memorials from this Chamber, on the subject of the removal 'of the Post-office, as well as with the resolutions passed at the town's meetings, and that on Thursday they would be ready to receive them. It was agreed that Messrs. William Brown, M.P., C. Robertson, R. A. Macfie, and James Stitt, together with the president and vice-president, form the deputation on the part of the Chamber, and that they confer with the committee of the Town Council on the subject, and the Dock Committee, for the purpose of procuring their co operation by appointing deputations to join that from the Chamber. An adjourned special meeting of the council of the Chamber was held on Tuesday, when it was reported that the deputation appointed on Monday,: with respect to the Post-office site, had ar ranged a time for meeting the committee of the Town Council and the Dock Committee, on tha subject. Mr. Hayter, the Secretary to the Treasury, was ex pected to arrive at the Adelphi Hotel last evening, and will to-day have an interview with the Council of the Chamber of Commerce and a committee of the Town Council relative to the intended site for the Post-office.—Liverpool Times.

At auction 360 bags were all sold, and the latest rates ob taind were for Honduras Silvers 33 91 to 45 21 fir ord to good, 4s 6d to 45 lld for mid to good Black, and 3s 83 to 3s 10d for Mexican Black, and Silvers. Some lots of Garblings realized is 7d to is 93 par lb. There has been no arrival of Cochineal this week, but stock exceeds that of last year, still deliveries continue upon a larger scale. INDIGO.—The quarterly sales of East India finished yesterday. The whole quantity put up was 13,692 chests in the A. and 3,408 in the B catalogue; total, 17,100, of which 978 were not printed, leaving the quantity for sale 16,122 chests. Tho spirit of speculation in Indigo, which has been remarkable throughout the year, particularly since the month of May, received an additional impetus by the unfavour able accounts from Calcutta of the Bth and 21st August, estimating the crop at 110,000 to 115,000 maunds; on the receipt of this last mail an advance of 7d to 9d on the prices of July was currently paid by the speculators, who were known to be the owners of a very considerable proportion of the quantity put up in this sale; the general expectation was,therefore,that the withdrawals would be unusually large. The first marks in the cata logue were generally limited at 10,1 to is advance on the e July rates, and as the export and home buyers ap peared at first unwilling to come firward, a con siderable proportion was bought in, speculators taking about one-third of the quantity which passed the hammer. As the sale proceeded, how - ever, considerable pareels being almost hourly with drawn by tho proprietors, it became evident that the proportion intended for bond fide sale could not exceed 7.000 to 8;000 chests; exporters and home consumers, therefore, acted with more confidence, and paid readily the advance which had been partly established in the beginning. As compared with last sale's prices, we now quote ord to fine Bengals 101 to Is Id advance; the good consuming and middling shipping qualities being the most in demand, and bearing the greatest advance. The quality of the Kurpahs was generally good, and the de mand having been very active throughout, an advance of 10d to is was also realized—dry leaf Madras, however, has been comparatively neglected, and only a small proportion found buyers at about 91 advance on last sale's prices, proprietors buying in the remainder. Of the total quantity put up (17,100 cheats) 9,816 have been withdrawn, and 1,855 bought in, leaving 5,429 chests sold in the room, and about 1,500 of the bought in and withdrawn parcels; total 7,000 chests, of which 1,500 are supposed to be for home consumption, 3,500 for export, and 2,000 for specu lation and re-sale. Of 400 erns Guatemala Indigo at auction this week, a small part sold at 3s 81 to 5s 4d per lb. TALLOW.—To-day at sale 780 cks Sydney only in part sold at 35s 6d to 38s 6d; 640 pkgs South American 33s 6d to 38s 6 1. OILS.—A much better demand has been experienced for Linseed Oil from shippers and home consumers this week; prices are higher, and rule at 32s 31 to 32s 6d on the spot. For delivery several contracts have been completed at 32s per cwt, and there are not free selers. In Olive a good deal has been done, and last week's rates are well supported, Spanish, and Gallipoli realizing 44/ to 451, other sorts 421 103 to 431 lOs per tun. Of Rapeseed Oil many parcels have been disposed of, and rates are firm. Foreign Pale at 333 3d to 38s 6d, British 37s 61 to 38s, and Brown at 36s 63 to 375. In Cocoa Nut operations have been small with sellers of Cochin, and Ceylon at 29s to 32s 6d per cwt according to quality. Palm met with increased attention, prices are still on the advance, and range at 30s to 30s 6d for fine. Previous advanced rates are supported for Seal with a good demand. Pale realized 391 lOs to 40/, Straw and Tinged 371 to 381 10s, Yellow and Brown 351 103 to 361 10s. Southern has been sought after and realized from 341 to 36s 105 for ord to fine quality, but there will be a much better supply at market shortly. Cod is higher, 381 to 391 having been obtained, but at these rates buyers do not operate freely. Sperm in good demand, and prices are on the rise, fine quality selling at 841 to 851; there is not a larger quantity on offer. Headmatter is selling at 881 to 921 per tau. To-day at auction 70 tuna Southern Oil sold at 361 to 361155; 45 tuns Newfoundland Whale 3415 s to 341 15s, and 26 tuns Pale Seal 381 to 381 10s. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE 'OF FRIDAY.

IN THE BANKRPTCY OF LAKEMAN AND RUMIGNY. This case has been reputedly before the Court. The bankrupts carried on the business of commission agents in St. Mildred's-court. Rumigny had been aide-de-camp to the late King of the French. Upon this, as well as any former meeting, affidavits were produced setting forth that Rumigny was unable to attend in consequence of the refusal of the French Prefect of Police to grant him a passport, for which the General alleges he has often applied. It was ru moured, but the rumour was not traced to any au thentic source, that the bankrupt firm was established at the instance of Louis Philippe after his abdication, for political purposes. Mr. Lucas said the firm was set up at the instance of Mr. Lekeman, a statement which was positively denied by Mr. Lawrance on Lakeinan's behalf, Mr. Lawrance declaring that Rumigny was the originator of the concern ; that, having got into difficulties, he left his partner to deal with them, and that the General's avowal that he was unable to obtain a passport was a mere " sham," and an attempt to evade the process of that Court. The COMMISSIONER remarked that no gronnd had been shown why the French Government refused to grant Rumigny a passport, and that the production of the letters of the Prefect of Police did not appear to be sufficient to excuse or explain the bankrupt's absence. Mr. FONBLANQUE, on the part of the assignees, asked an adjournment fur a month, in - order to inves tigate the balance-sheet, which application was granted by the Court. The main items of the joint balance-sheet (pre pared by Mr. Hutton) are house and creditors, 2,424/. ; secured ditto, 535/. ; liabilities, 7491. The assets are said to consist of good debts, 22/. ; doubtful, 4,9401., and property, 2,2201. The profits are set down at 7,786/.; the losses at 274/. ; the trade expenses at 1,3671.; and the law expenses at 274/. IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF WARD AND GRIFFITHS. The bankrupts in this case were printers in Far ringdon-street, and came up on the question of their certificate. Mr. Linklater supported the bankrupt Ward. The balance-sheet shows debts to the amount of 1,540/, while the good debts and property do not exceed 3501. The losses, however, by realization of the stock and machinery, are put down at 1,2491. The bankrupts had s t ar t e d w ith a cap it a l o f 2 , 3001., which had been lost in 1847, as well as a further sum of 1,0001. introduced by a relative of Ward. The bankrupts failed in October last, when they executed an assignment for the benefit of their cre ditors, to secure an agreed composition which they were unable to meet, and were made bankrupts in May last. Mr. LIMELATER referred to the particulars of the balance-sheet, and said that he could not, under the circumstances, ask for a certificate of a higher than second class, to which the assignees were willing to consent. Certificates were accordingly granted to each of the bankrupts. SURREY QUARTER SESSIONS. Oct. 18. (Before Mr. E. PENItIIYN, Chairman, and Mr. GossE.) JOUN WATKINS, APPELLANT, V. A CONVICTION UNDER. THE POLICE ACT. In this case the appellant, who was the landlord of the Red Lion public-house, Pearl-row, Southwark, sought to be relieved from a conviction for harbour. ing improper characters in his house, under which he had been fined in the penalty of 51. Mr. Robinson appeared for the appellant. No Learned Counsel was engaged to support the convic tion, but an inspector of the M division of police, named Townson, attended to produce the necessary documents, and apparently to conduct the case in support of the conviction. The evidence on the part of the police, by whom the information had been laid, appeared to be, that on the evening of the 16th of September two constables, named Hunt and Jones ' went into the appellant's house, and re p resen t e d that several persons of bad character, two of them being reputed thieves, were standing drinking in front of the bar. The appellant was told the chara?.ter of these people, and warned that he was not justified in permitting them to be in his house, and the constables then went away, and returned two hours afterwards, when they found two of the same persons again standing in front of the bar. Upon these facts, it appeared that Mr. Jardine, who hap pened to be casually sitting at the Southwark Police court, under the new regulation regarding the attend ance of magistrates at the different police-courts, convicted the defendant of the offence of " wilfully harbouring" bad characters, and the present appeal was brought to try the validity of that conviction. Upon the cross•examination of the constables it appeared that two separate informations had been laid against the appellant for an offence of a similar cha racter, alleged to have been committed upon two con secutive days, and that the first was dismissed. It also appeared that after the notice of the present ap peal had been given, another information against Mr. Watkins of the same kind was brought before Mr. Ingham, and was dismissed by that gentleman. The constables likewise admitted that upon every occasion when they went into the house there was not the least disorder, and that the appellant asked them earnestly to tell him what he was to do, and said that the people lived in the neighbourhood, and he did not see how he could help serving them with refreshment, so long as they conducted themselves peaceably. It also ap peared that they were unable to prove that the persona they referred to had remained in the house between the period of the two visits, and they admitted that it was possible they had left immediately after their first visit, and had returned when they made their second. While the case was proceeding the inspector who was watching it repeatedly interfered and suggested matters which he said the witnesses could prove. Mr. ROBINSON objected to this description of inter ference, and said he hoped the Court would not per mit it to be persevered in. There was a proper and legitimate mode of supporting the conviction if it had been considered necessary to do so ; and he did not think that a police inspector ought to be permitted to interfere. Mr. SUMNER said that, as one of the bar, he must also protest against the inspector taking upon himself to conduct the case for the respondent, as it affected the privilege of the bar to pre-audience. The CHAIRMAN said that the inspector must not in terfere any more. The Court was placed in rather an awkard position by not having any depositions, and no counsel being employed on behalf of the respondent, but at the same time it was bound to take care that the business of the Court was conducted in a regular manner, and the inspector clearly had no right to in terfere in the case. Mr. ROBINSON then made a very able speech to the bench on behalf of his client; and The CHAIRMAN, after a brief consultation with his colleague, said the Court were of opinion that there was no evidence to support the allegation that the ap pellant had wilfully harboured improper characters, and they therefore considered that the appeal should be allowed. The conviction was accordingly quashed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LAMBETH. Henry Thomas Taylor, George Adams, and Charles Gosling were brought up and placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott for final examination, on a charge of breaking into the dwelling-house of Mr. George Stiff, in Streatham-place, Brixton, and stealing therefrom 301. in gold and silver, a gold box of the value of 40 guineas, and various articles of plate and other pro perty. The particulars of the robbery are briefly these : On tl • evening of Tuesday, the 24th of last month, a young man knocked at the door of Mr. Stiff, and upon being answered by a young woman named Plowman he said that a serious accident had taken place at Mr. Stiff's publishing-office in the Strand, that a considerable weight had fallen upon Mr. Stiff's housekeeper, and that if her sister wished to see her alive she must take a cab and proceed there without delay. The young woman, believing the representa tion, locked up the house, took a cab, and pro ceeded to the Strand, where she found her sister quite well, and ascertained that no accident had taken place. On her return home she discovered that during her absence the house had been entered and plundered of the property be fore mentioned. From the fact that the gold snuff box had been taken from the interior of a pianoforte, where it had been placed for greater safety, and also from the circumstance of the prisoner Taylor having stated to a fellow--workman in the service of Mr. Stiff, that he would put Costello (a thief) on the house of his master, suspicion fell on him in the first instance, and he was taken into custody. Since then it had been found that he (Taylor) had been seen, on the evening after the robbery, to enter ,a notorious re ceiving-house in the vicinity of Drury-lane in com pany with the prisoner Adams, and yesterday wit nesses were in attendance who swore to having seen Taylor, Adams, Gosling, and Costello (who is at present in Newgate on a charge of burglary) in front of Mr. Stiff's house about the time of the robbery. The prisoner Adams, previous to his apprehension, made some disclosures to Mr. Stiff about the rob bery, and said he was present when the property be came a matter of dispute between thieves. The depositions established a strong case against the prisoners, and they were fully committed for trial. THAMES. ROSINA lIERBERT.—This wretched woman, whose case excited so much sympathy and commisseration, and who was out on hail on her husband's security, surrendered yesterday to abide Mr. Ingham's deci sion on the charge of having illegally pawned seven cotton shirts, which had been entrusted to her to make up by a woman named Miller. Mr. Thomas Ruthven, in the employment of Messrs. Favell and Bousfield, wholesale clothiers, No. 12, St. Mary Axe, stated that the prisoner had for rnt rly been employed at their house; and, though but an indifferent workwoman, would still have been con tinued there had she been found trustworthy. She had worked for the firm up to the 25th of August, 1849, on which day she was brought before Mr. 'Yardley at this court, charged with pawning several articles of wearing apparel which bad been entrusted to her making up. Had she not so committed her self she would up to the present time have had work of a good description which would have enabled her to obtain a comfortable livelihood. Here the prisoner, who had been for some time weeping bitterly, let her child drop into the dock, and fell down herself in a sort of fit. It was, however, observed by some of the officers accustomed to such exhibitions, that the manner of it was not natural, and it was also observed that before dropping the child, which cried lustily on its fall, she allowed it to slide as near to the ground as possible without altering her position. After a brief interval allowed for her recovery, the ease was re sumed, and the witness Ruthven proceeded to state that it was entirely through her own misconduct she was obliged to take work at second and third hand, and of course at a reduced remuneration. The result of the inquiry before Mr. Yardlfty was that she was ordered to pay lls. 6d. for redeeming the articles, and Bs. fine, in default of which she was imprisoned with hard labour for fourteen days. __ Mr. INGHAM, to the prisoner—Have you any ques tion to ask this witness ? Prisoner—No, sir. _ Mr. INGEIAM—Have you anything to say? Pri soner—No, sir, I did it. 'Ls true. The minutes of the proceedings of the 25th of August were then produced, and the case was found to be as the witness stated. At that time she lived at Marmond-street, St. George's-in-the-East. Mr. J. F. Roper, honorary secretary to the Distressed Needle women's Society, here stepped for ward and wished to say a few words. In answer to questions from the magistrates, he entered into a long statement of the advantages of the association, which advantages he said would have been extended to Ro sina Herbert had she been a deserving person. He added that the sempstresses at the east end of London were better paid than formerly, but that prices were lowered by the wives of the dock labourers, who were compelled to take in work at a very low rate, while their husbands spent their own earnings (from 255. to 30i. a week) in drink! The result of the inquiry was that Mr. Ingham sentenced the prisoner to pay Bs., the amount for which the articles had been pawned, and a further sum of 10s. penalty, in default of which to be impri soned with hard labour for 21 days. I must now tell you (added the magistrate) that since your case was last before me several benevolent persons have sent in moneys for your use, amounting to the sum of 431., not one single sixpence of which shall I apply to your benefit. There may still be some mitigating circumstances in your case, and if benevolent per sons choose to inquire into them and to devote their private funds to your use, they of course are at liberty to do so, but when I find you guilty of an offence, and discover that you have previously committed another one, I must not let it go forth to the world not only that you are not punished, but, on the contrary, that you are rewarded as the conse quence. If the parties who forwarded you the dona tions choose to reclaim them they can do so, and shall receive them back if before the end of one calendar month they show themselves to be the persons by whom the amounts ware forwarded, but if not re claimed before that time, they shall be put in the poor box for the general purposes of the district, to be be-- stowed on deserving persons. There is one remark I have to make with respect to sums forwarded for cx. plicit purposes. I now declare that not a farthing shall ever be given for such purposes. If money be sent (and I now speak the sentiments of Mr. Yardley also) to be used at our discretion, it shall be received, but not a farthing otherwise. The prisoner was then removed. The prisoner's husband, addressing the magistrate suppose if the pawnbroker were paid, sir Mr. INGHAM—I have decided the case. Mr. Roper said he had another application to make respecting a Mrs. Fitzgerald, on whose behalf public sympathy was excited some time ago, and who is really a deserving object. She is still in distress, and applies for a portion of the sum remaining on hand, and as more than then deemed sufficient for her wants. Mr. INGHAM—She appears to have an eq uitable claim. Let her call and make her application. ersa Just before the c o urt c l ose d, Mr. llnghamto d and Rosina Herbert to b e aga i n b roug ht before b ile ,' an d addressing her said, some ki n d p e rson having S e lf your caoe, has f o r war d e d an or d e r payable to y our t be in your own name, saying it was intended for our payment of your fine.

You are discharged. T r aast Mrs. Herbert—What will become of me ? go to the workhouse, as my h us b an d has lost his eni' p!oyment again. sla te.
