They bring startling accounts of a frightful eruption of the long dormant volcano of the Pelee Mountain in that island, which took place during the night of the sth ult. The St. Lucia Palladium contains the subjoined account of the oc currence : " Like the great and memorable eruption of the St. Vincent Soufriere, in 1812, the phenomenon at Marti nique is described as having • been accompanied with a noise similar to the approach of thun der, still nearer and nearer, with a vibration that effected the feelings and hearing.' It appears, how ever, that, beyond a layer of grey. sand, gritty . particles of calcined earth and favilla, found in the morning upon the streets, houses, and shipping, as having been thro wn forth by the volcano in the night, the people of St. Pierre were, up to our lastac:iounts, uninformed of the effects of the phenomenon.' The following extract of a private letter gives some idea of the eruption : " St. Pierre, Aug. 6. " A strange rumbling noise was heard last night, which continued from about taidnig,ht to four o'clock this morning. At daylight this morning we observed three :streaming chimneys of smoke on the Pc'et mountain. One of these was of black smoke, re sembling the smoke from a steam-ship, though ten times more voluminous than the chimney of our steam-frigate. The other two were formed of a whitish smoke. I assure you I never before saw anything so grand. The town is all covered over with grey ashes. A great many persons bare gone to the mount, but can• not reach it before night. There has been no shock of earthquake felt; but persons living in the neighbour. hood declare that they were driven from their homes by the strong smell of sulphur and the fear of danger from their vicinity to the eruption." Another letter of the same date says : " We had, during the night, an eruption of the vol cano on Mount Pelee. The whole town, as far as the Mouillage, as well as all the surrounding country, is covered over with ashes. The population of Preeheur had to fly their homes during the night and coma the whole way to St. Pierre. As for my family, it was not until rising this morning we heard of the occurrence, there not having been, thank God, any earthquake. It is not possible as yet to give you any particulars of this phenomenon or its effects; you will soon have them in the journals. It may, however, be inferred that no ca lamitous result has arisen from it, for, bad there been any, we should have known it by this time. " The Pelee Mountain, which is the highest land in Martinique, stands at the north of the island, and, ac cording to the map published by Royal authority in 1831 is represented as having an altitude of 4,438 Eng lish feet from the level of the sea. It is from this moun tain chiefly that the numerous springs issue by which the island is watered; and, although strikingly charac. terised with the indelible marks of an ancient valcsno, we du not remember to have ever fallen in with the re cord of any of its eruptions. It is to be hoped that among those inhabitants stated to have been attracted to the , side of the volcano by its recent eruption some sci entific explorer will be found to enlighten us with the result of his observations on so interesting a phenomenon. "There is said to be an iedentity of origin in earth quakes and volcanic eruptions —a connexion more or less ' intimate in the agency of the one with the other. In the case of Etna and Vesuvius it is recorded they rarely re turn to a state of activity after an interval of repose without some antecedent earthquake, the latter usually ceasing so soon as the volcano has once established for itself a vent whereby the elastic vapours can discharge themselves. So, too, we have seen that the earthquake which destroyed Caraceas in 1812, at the same time that the shores of the 21is3i!sippi were in sympathetic com motion, was followed in eight days by the memorable eruption of the Soufriere in St. Vincent. May it not, then, he hoped teat the awful oscillations of the earth, almost continuously in action during the last two months at the neighbouring island of Guadeloupe, will now be at an end?" We are in possession of our usual dates and corre spondence from Jamaica to the 13th of August in clusive. The intelligence is of no great importance. The trial of the parties concerned in the homicide of Mr. David M‘Lean had been concluded in Kingston, when a verdict of "Manslaughter" was returned against two men, named Thomas Cushnie and Thomas Cooper, who were severally sentenced to three years' imprisonment with hard labour in the General Peni tentiary. All the others were acquitted. The trial of the rioters at the late St. David's election, on which occasion the tragic occurrence which resulted in the death of Mr. M'Lean took place, was also concluded after two days' hearing of evidence. The prisoners, with a few exceptions, were all fbund guilty of riot, and some of riot and assault. The Learned Judge commented in strong terms upon the conduct of the prisoners, and sentenced each of them to eighteen months' imprison ment in the county gaol, excepting one named Carr, who had acted as a ringleader of the mob ; he was sentenced to be confined in the same place for the space of two years. In consequence of an accident which befell Justice - Macdougall, the Surrey Insol vent Debtors' Court, which should have been held in Kingston on Monday, the 1 lth of August, had to be postponed to next Januory. A rumour had been current in Kingston that his Excellency Sir Charles Grey had suddenly call-d up his servants and notified to them that he would soon have no further services for them. From Mexico we have no news of importance. The partisans of Santa Anna were said to be exert ing themselves to procure his ascendency, but it was believed their efforts would be futile. The subjoined letter from Greytown contains some interesting particulars from that part of the American continent, to which considerable importance is now attached:— Siuco my last communication the port of Greytown has presented a scene of bustle and excitement altoge ther now to the coast. This was occasioned by the launch of the Sir Henry Bulwer, the first of the river steamers for the Nicaraguan route. The vessel is built of iron, was brought out in three sections from the States, and put altogether in this barb •ur, tog, they with another which is now almost ready. She draws only 18 inches water, is 106 feet long, and propelled by a stern wheel. The advantage of this latter plan is very obvious is inland river navigation, where obstructions of various kinds are to be eo con stantly met with. Her utmost speed is ten knots per hour, and she can stow away more than one hundred passengers. The trial trip came off on the 28st inst., and on the arrival of the Prometheus she received on board the first batch of Californians and commenced the ascent of the San Juan river. The inhabitants of Greytown watched anxiously her progress over the shoals, the depth of water bAng scarcely two feet, and at one time fears were entertained that she would fail, particularly in crossing a sandbank abreast of the town. In crossing this she stuck for a few minutes, until the commander of her Majesty's schooner Bermuda, with his usual promptitude, manned his boats, came to the rescue, and astonished the ;Yankees by actually lifting her over. Having cleared this shoal, she proceeded up the river, averaging five knots against the current. They reached the Castillo rapid next day. This is at present an in surmountable obstacle, but means are now being taken to pass it. At present, by means of a line of small steamers, the communication will be kept open between the rapids. Thus, passengers will disembark at the Cas tillo, and embark again a few . yard s u p t h e l i ver in another small vessel. On arming at the lake vessels of a larger class will convey them to Virgin B ay , wh i ch is within only 15 miles of the Pacific. A good road has al ready been opened from Virgin Bay to San Juan del S a d, and every con ven i ence w ill bo afforded in the transit. At San Juan del Sad passengers will be conveyed by the Pacific steamers, which will ply regularly between that place and San Francisco. The vast design of connecting the two oceans by a rapid and safe transit may now be said to be accomplished, and what seemed a visionary and wild chimera a few years ago is now realised. The long and weary passage round Cape Horn, fraught with such danger that cur ancestors prepared for it as for their final departure from the world, is now ac complished in a few days. The time th roug h f rom N ew York to San Francisco will be only a mo n th. B es id es this, one line of steamers wi▪ ll beget another, branch lines will visit rivers, islands, and harbour s , teem i ng with riches which have been hitherto conc ea l e d f rom the eyes of man; and followi▪ ng on this will be the erection of cities, towns, and trading ports. Then, too, how rapidly will spread that restless, .never satisfi e d, and pushing Anglo-Saxon race. The speculating Yankee, the shrewd Scotchman, and moneyed English man will all hasten to the land of promise. The hordes from Europe will find a now vent, and soon the soli tary Spanish ranchos will merge into Anglo-Saxon vil lages and;cities. The Spaniard himself will lose his list lessness in the whirl of business. Such is the inevitable destiny of Central America. It will be the depot of the world, the highway over which the world's trade will pass. Now, a question arises—who will have the so vereignty of the old Mosquito claim? England has pro tected this coast for more than a century, and expended vast sum s i n o p en i ng a t ra d e an d p us hi ng c i v ili za ti o n on the const:of Mosquito. No nation complained; alt praised her philanthropy ; and under her auspices the Mos quito people became civilized to a certain extent, loved our institutions, and praised our justice. Then, at last, the prospect of a ship canal created a little attention. People asked where is Mosquito, and the Yankees sent agents down to discover how and by what means John Bull could be ousted. They at last sent their emissaries to the State of Nicaragua. and found that these same Ni caraguans —a nation of half breeds, Indians, and Spaniards, h a d occas i ona ll y erected forts and placed five or six half clad marineros (Bun fray sailors) in charge at the , ra?uth . s of two or three rivers u s i t :e a d re S o t f at o e u e r to protect their trade. this information was enough. The port of Groy Town brrlonged to Nicaragua, and must be given up to Wm• if.l 7ne w . e, of the th lj e will send down an overwhelming population, and, as a ' matter of course, admit it as Union. This is the eummit of their diplomacy.' THE WEATHER. -- During the pest week th e weather, though somewhat cold, has been sufficiently dry t o allow the harvest operations to be completed. Tile boats from Cheshire on Saturday, as well as the country carts, were loaded with garden products for the markets. Every thing was cheap and excellent. Hothouse fruits are rather more scarce, particularly in good grapes and pines. Peaches and nectarines, which were very fine, sold at .33. to 43. per dozen. Many beautiful flowers were exhibited ; some stands of prize dahlias, grown by Mr. Charles Rylance, attracted cl3Nola admiration—Liverpool Standard. THE SUN, STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The American advices report a further advance of ic. per lb. on the better grades of cotton, and about ic. on the middling and lower qualities, in the New York market, partly in consequence of the improved accounts from Liverpool, and partly from the reduced amount of the stock od hand in the States. The markets of the south continue dull, however, and there is a general concurrence of opinion that the new crop will be a large one, though the estimate of 3,000,000 bales is now modified. These accounts have rather promoted the previous upward bias in the Liverpool market, but the tendency :thus showing itself on both sides of the Atlantic is viewed with great distrust on the Manchester Exchange, where no permanent ground for a rise can be seen in the prospect of supply as compared with that of demand, and where there is anything but a disposition to follow in the wake of a speculative movement, which could only interrupt and injure our own trade, however much it might be to the advantage of the American growers and the Liverpool holders of cot ton. For, the advance already obtained upon the raw material, has been only partially realised on yarns and goods, and has, therefore, worsened the position of the spinner and the manufacturer; while the sus pension of the demand for the east is restricting the field of operations ; and that for Germany continues to be limited and easily checked. We have, therefore, had only a quiet though certainly a firm market to day, as regards yarns, and a steady one as to go ods in general. The sellers of water twist have indeed raised their last Tuesday's quotations for some num bers. in some instances id. in others id. per lb ; but this has evidently interfered with operations. As a rule water twist may be characterised as exceedingly firm, while mule twist must be described as generally steady, though Indian qualities of 40's and 50's and Russian 100's to 120's are barely so. The home consumers are buying moderately of warps and cops where they can do so at the aates of a week ago. As to goods we may state that printing cloths, domestics, T cloths, and long cloths remain steady ; but some of the latter makes are less ready of sae than they were. Indian cloths, particularly shietings and jaconets, continue extremely dull, with a bias in prices against the sellers. ROCIIDALE, MONDAY.—There has been little ac tivity in the flannel market to-day, when we consider that it is that time of the year when the merchants, as well as the drapers, begin to lay in their winter stocks. Kerseys bane been rather more in demand ; but the business in flannels has been upon a very limited scale. There has been little doing in wool, and prices much the same as the preceding week. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The business recently transacted in goods has determined our manufacturers to push forward with increased vigour their produc tion of autumn styles, especially as stocks of this description are known to be exceedingly light, with, at present, every probability of the demand continuing. In thrown silks very little is doing, and recent trans actions have been, on the whole, slightly in favour of purchasers. In raw silks there is an evident lull of b usiness ; prices, however, remain unaffected, the quotations of the Ist inst. being maintained. HUDDERSEIELD, TUESDAY.—Our market still con tinues quiet. Stocks in the Cloth Hall, however, are low, and the manufacturers are principally working up small orders. Goods that have changed hands to day are of the middle qualities. Shippers are quiet; indeed not one has been in town to-day. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—In every department of the vvorsted trade, fr,Ta the raw material up to the finished fabric, there is a considerable degree of dul ness; and the heaviness of the market operates, as usual, in favour of the buyer. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—There is little change to notice jet the woollen trade since last week. The market has been dull and languid, and there is not much cluing to order. Prices are unaltered, and stocks are considered to be rather on the increase. HEALTH OF LONDON DUREVG THE WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar-General.) The health of London in the week ending Saturday, September 6, exhibits some improvement. The deaths which in the previous week were 1,061 fell to 967. of the persons who died at stated ages only 144 had attained the age of 60 and upwards ; 518 were chil dren under the age of 15 ; and 303 were men and w omen under the age of 60. Convulsions, small. pox, measles, scarlatina, and hooping-cough, tabes,l hydro cephalus (water on the head) destroyed many chil dren ; but diarrhoea in this week was more fatal than all these diseases together, Consumption was fatal to 105, typhus to 25, heart disease to 14, bronchitis to 11, injuries and violence to 12—adults under the age of 60. The deaths from diarrhoea increased from 23 in the first week of July, and 143 in the first week of August, to 192 in the first week of September. The deaths from cholera also increased, but in the last week they amounted to 17, while the number in the previous week was 28. Summer cholera prevails all over Europe in the hot season cf the year; its symptoms often resemble those of Asiatic cholera, from which, however, it dif fers in this respect, that the course of the fatal cases is much less rapid. This is the anniversary of the most fatal week of the great cholera epidemic of 1849, when 3,183 of the inhabitants of London died ; and the contrast be tween the health of the great city then and at the present time is gratifying, particularly as it is now the abode of so many thousands of strangers. It would be still more gratifying if the danger of the re curi ence of cholera was, as it might be, diminished by the removal of the following and a thousand simi lar nuisances still existing, and laying the population open to the invasion of every epidemic. The Holborn registrar, speaking of a death at 53, Eagle-street, Red Lion-square, says, "This is the third case of death registered in the house since the 27th August of fever and diarrhoea, besides two others sant to the hospital. The back of the house looks into Yorkshire Grey-yard, on the north side of Eagle-street, Red Lion-square, where there are two slaughter-houses and generally a large dung heap. The drainage in the yard is in a bad state. The stench arising from the slaughter-houses and dung into this house is beyond endurance." The following are the 17 cases of cholera which were registered last week : In Fulham, at Mrs. Tilley's, Farm-lane, on 30th August, the daughter of a single woman, aged 4 months, died of "cholera infantum (7 days)." In Westminster, at the Bell public-house, York street, on 3d September, the son of a li cense d victual.- ler, aged 9 months, "cholera infantum (10 d a y s )." In Marylebone, at the Middlesex Hospital, from 8, Bodes Cottage, Islington, on 4th September, a barge carter, aged 30 years, " cholera." In Marylebone, St. Mary, at 76, Gloucester-place, on 29th August, the daughter of a policeman, aged 6 months, "cholera infantum." In Tottenham sub-district, at 15, Pancras-street, on 30th August, a female, aged 55 years, English cholera (3 days)." In West Hackney, at 1, Nursery-row, Stoke New ington, on 31st August, a gentleman, aged 89 years, " bilious cholera (3 days)." In the same sub-district, at 39, Wellington. street, on Ist September, the son of a fishmonger, aged 2 yeaxs, " cholera infantum (5 weeks), convulsions (10 hours)." In St. Mary-le-Strand, at 41, Hart-street, Covent garden, on 4th September, the widow of a domestic servant, aged 64 years, " cholera (29 hours)." In St. James, Clerkenwell, at 20, Peter-street, on 31st August, a fur sewer, aged 28 years, "cholera (5 days), diarrhces. (36 hours), commencing 2 days after childbirth. In Clerkenwell, Anawell sub-district, at 16, North ampton-row, on 31st August, the daughter of a la bourer, aged 7 months "cholera infantum (12 days)." In Clerkenwell, Pentonville sub-district, at 24, North-avenue, on 3d September, the son of a car penter, aged 2 years and 9 m on th s , "English cholera (6 hours)." In Hackney-road, sub-district, at 33, Austin street, on 30th August, the son of a cabinet-maker, aged 6 weeks, cholera infantum (2 weeks)." In Newington, Trinity sub-district, at 3, Pipe makers .alley, on 2d September, the daughter of a Pipe-maker, aged 7 weeks, "cholera infantum." In the same sub-district, at 4, County -terrace street, on 30th Augu,t, a spinster, aged 21 years, " English cholera (12 hour:)." in Lambeth, at 2, Little-spring-place, on 2d September, the daughter of a railway carriage maker, aged 1 year, " c h o l era i n f an t um (34 hours)." In Greenwich, St. Nicholas, Dqtford sub-district, at 2, Frenches-fields, St. Nicholas, on 31st August, the daughter of a general dealer, aged 1 year, " cholera infantum." In Greenwich, 'Woolwich Arsenal sub-district, at 21, Powis-street, on 31st August, the wife of a car penter, aged 72 years, ." English cholera (2 days). The following selections are from the Registrars' reports : In the sub-district of Belgrave, in St. George's Hospital, on 4th of August, a butcher, aged 55 years, died of peritonitis, after puncture of abdom en an d small intestines by a butcher's knife, which ho ran against accidentally when held in the hand of another butcher with whom ho was talking (20 days), inquest. Mr. Jorden states that the man's death arose from a mtona in the trade when asking another " to stand treat, to hold their knife against the stomach in a horizontal direction." In the sub-district of Golden-square, St. James's, Westminster, at 42, Marshall-street, on 2d Septem ber,, the daughter of a tailor, aged two years, " diar rruzza (two weeks), effusio cerebri (3 days)." Mr. Churchman observes that—" Tuis is one of three houses at the south en d of Marshall-street, of the most ob jectionable construction, having no ventilation, back windows, kitchen, or dust-bin, the water-closet, such As it is, opposite the entrance door, which i s always LONDON, open, and not more than three feet from it; there is a large slaughter-house in the rear." In the sub-district or Gray's Inn-lane, at 1, Bruns wick-buildings, on the 4th September, the daughter of a servant, aged 10 years, " marasmus (2 years), typhus (14 days)." Mr. Worrell adds, that "The house in which this death occurred is situated in a court con sisting of about 30 houses, which, from confined space, bad drainage, and filth, is wholly unfit for oc cupation by human beings."

On Wednesday last M'Coy, the Abolitionist, who had beea treated so like a stranger by the good people of Pike, made his appearance in our town. This news soon spread, and about a dozen of our citizens consti tuted themselves a special committee to wait upon him, .and inquire into his whereabouts and business. He de nied being an Abolitionist, or that he was the same man that was ducked in Pike, or that his name was M'Coy. The proof, however, was conclusive, and there upon a jury of good and lawful men was empannelled to inquire into his case, and if the facts were found against him, to assess the punishment. The jury having retired, and evidence being adduced, there was no doubt left that he was the individual that he was suspected of being. It was likewise proved that he had talked abo lition the night before (besides misbehaving in divers other ways), and that he had talked abolition that very morning in town, The verdict, therefore, was, that he be taken to the town pump, and, after being well pumped upon, that he be rode on a rail out of the cor porate limits of the town. The whole sentence was car ried into effect in a most becoming manner, the boys accompanying the procession with music on the tin-pan, cow-bells, fire-crackers, and divers other popular instru ments. As the sentence was being carried into effect, M'Coy entered his solemn protest against the whole proceeding, and we put it on record for his benefit. " Gentlemen," said he, "I call you to witness that this whole thing is done without my consent, and rather against my feelings and wishes." He did not seem to take it very much at heart, and if we are not mistaken be has been rode on a rail before he ever saw Pike, 2PCoy is a long-legged man, some 40 to 45 years of age, stout, and a clockmender by profession. He rides a white horse, and carries a particularly dilapidated pair of saddle-bags. Let him be a warning to all Abolition ists who come to Tuskegee.—Turkegeeßepublican. THE LONDON GAZETTE, Sept. 9.

LOCALITY OF THE INSPECTORS' OFFICES. Mr. Fearon's, Globe Hotel, Whitehaven, Cumberland. Mr. John Ashley 'a, High-street, Mold, Flintshire, North Wales. POLICE INTELLIGEN MANSION-HOUSE. John Cooney was brought before the Lord Mayor for further examination upon a charge of uttering an Irish bank note, which had been converted from 3/. into 101. City police-constable Jervis, said he had not been able to procure further evidence against the prisoner than that he had got the note cashed, receiving value for it in exchange. The LORD MAYOR said there was no doubt about the prisoner having uttered the note. The question was whether he knew at the time of uttering that it was forged. As the parties did not appear for the purpose of pressing the case against the prisoner, and considering the evidence insufficient to warrant his committal, he must be discharged. Ann Bond, Jane Elliott, and John Elliott (the two last being husband and wife), who were charged with attempting to pick pockets on Friday last, were again brought up. The LORD MAYOR—I shall discharge Jane Elliott, the evidence against her not appearing sufficient to justify me in sending her to prison. The other two delinquents I must send to prison for a month as regues and vagabonds. The 12s. found upon Jane Elliott must be given up to her, and the 21. 1 ls. found upon the male prisoner will be placed in the hands of the Governor of the Compter, who will deduct the amount of his keep therefrom, giving him the balance at the expiration of his term of imprisonment. Thomas Winstanley was placed at the bar on a charge of robbing Mr. Henry Adams Newman, clo thier, of 25, Jewry-street, Aidgate. In reply to the LORD MAYOR the prosecutor tated that he had employed the, prisoner for some time as clerk, in consequence of his representing that he was in great distress, and willing to accept ten shillings a week for his services. Tbis was the fourth clerk by whom he had been robbed ; in fact to such an extent had he been plundered within the last eighteen months that he had been compelled to place his affairs within the jurisdiction of the Court of Bankruptcy. The prisoner was remanded till Thursday. GUILDHALL. Mr. George Clarke was charged under the fol lowing circumstances : Mr. Hockley Wood, of 75, Basinghall-street, conducted the case on behalf of Mr. Clarke ; and Mr. Wilkinson, though not instructed, watched the proceedings on the part of the prosecutor's employer. Peter Descoe—l am manager to the livery yard of ' the Clarence (late Three Cups) Hotel, Aldersgatc street. About half-past ten this morning Mr. Clarke entered the livery yard with eight men armed with sticks and broke into the stables, taking therefrom four horses, the property of Mr. Oawyn Merlin, the proprietor of the yard. I, with the two ostlers, re sisted them, and they commenced beating us with the sticks. Mr. Clarke did not strike any one that I am aware of, but he was the most active of all and the prime mover of the affair. One of the horses belongs to a Mr. Carey, and another to a Mr. Gaius, and were both standing at livery. I warned Mr. Clarke a few days ago. Cross-examined by Mr. H. F. Wood—There are no horses entered in the book in the names of Len delle and Bralant. I never had any in their names. There were ten horses brought into the yard on Tuesday last and entered in tue book on the same day. They were not brought in the names of Lon delle and Bralant. Six of them were afterwards sent away by Mr. Merlin, and the remaining four were in the yard this morning. Mr. Clarke applied for these horses on Saturday last, and when he came this morn ing he again demanded them, but in the meantime his men were removing four horses from the stable. I refused to give them up without an order from Mr. Merlin; and, on stopping one of the horses, was struck several times on the haunches with sticks, and received a blow from Mr. Clarke's fist, I believe, on the side of the head. I saw Mr. Merlin on Friday last. I don't know that he has absconded. He may come back yet, hut I believe he has absconded. I was not with him at the station on Friday ; and I hope you are not going to class me with roguery. The horses were in the stables, and the doors were bolted and fas tened with cord. I cannot swear they were fastened. I will not swear that an application was or was not made on Monday for the horses by Mr. Clarke. I told him I was only Mr. Merlin's foreman, and could not give them up without an order from him. I received a notice from Londelle and Bralant desiring me not to give them to any one but either of them. I be lieve the six horses were sent to Rubinsoa's repository. Six were sent to Dixon's in the previous week, which Londelle and Bralant also claimed. lam not aware that Mr. Merlin was indebted to them to a large amount. I always understood they were merely his agents abroad to buy foreign horses for him for the London markets. I hold possession of the yard for Mr. Merlin, and not Mr. Cook, the proprietor of the hotel. Mr. Clarke had no stick, and I cannot swear that he struck me the blow on the head, but I believe he did. Mr. Cook did not tell me to detain all pro perty of Mr. Merlin's. William Thomas, manager of the Clarence Hotel— My attention was called to the disturbance in the yard, end on going to the door I saw about a dozen men struggling, and among them six or sewn in blouses. Mr. Clarke was very active in inciting the men in the work of removing the horses from the stables and keeping the gates closed. I seized him by the collar and dragged him into the hotel, where in the scuffle a large pane of glass was broken. He was very quiet, apparently from exhaustion. Cross-examined by Mr. H. F. Wood—l did not break the glass in knocking Mr. Clarke over a chair. William Jarvis, an ostler—l was taking one of the horses out of bait, when Mr. Clarke came rushing into the yard with several men armed with sticks and ropes. I tried to close the gates, but Mr. Clarke pushed them open. They had no difficulty in getting the horses out of the stables, as the doors were not fastened in any way, but merely closed. I did not see Mr. Clarke strike any one, but received several blows myself. I was not in the yard when the ten horses were brought in. William Mardell, an ostler—l saw Mr. Clarke on entering the yard speak to Mr. Descoe. I took hold of one of the horses, but was compelled to quit it on receiving a blow from one of the men's sticks on the wrist. The stable doors were not fastened. John Barham—l am an auctioneer at Robinson's repository. On Saturday last I was present, and heard Mr. Clarke apply to Mr. Descoe for the resto ration of the four horses remaining out of the ten. Mr. Descoe refused, and produced a written notice which he said he had received from Mr. Cook, desiring him not to deliver them up to any one but him. On Thursday last Merlin's men brought six horses to the repository, cud left them in the name of Londelle and Bralant, who have since received 20/. on account of the sale of two of them. The other four are still in the repository. Alderman SALOMONS said the only portion of this case that he could take cognizance of is that relating to the assault. It appeared to him that Mr. Merlin was the agent to Londelle and Bralant, and not they his egents. Mr. H. F. Wood—That is precisely what I will show if the case is adjourned, and I hold in my hand a written authority which Messrs. Londelle and Bra lant gave to Mr. Clarke, undertaking to hold him harmless in the whole transaction. Alderman SALOMONS—Every man has a right to pursue his own property in a legal manner ; but if he go vi et armis, he must go peaceably, or be will render himself liable to an action for assault. In the present instance I think that a fine of 10s. will be sufficient to meet the justice of the case. Mr. Descoe here said, I now give Mr. Clarke in custody on a charge of felony for stealing two horses, upon which he can have no claim. Mr. H. F. Wood—We are willing to return them immediately, as they were taken by mistake. Alderman SALOMONS—I am quite satisfied that there was no felonious intention in removing them, and independent of that, I cannot take a charge given in such a summary way, unless brought up in the regular way. BOW-STREET. Robert Marshall, aged 56, a scissor-grinder, living at 4, Pitt's-place, Drury-lane, was charged with cri minally assaulting a number of little girls under 12 years old. Caroline Baldacci, the daughter of a modeller in Clare-market, and three or four other children, were in attendance, and from their statements to the Court, it appeared that the prisoner was in the habit of en • ticin ,, them to his place, and then inducing them to fetch others. The details were extremely revolting, and in the absence of a medical gentleman, Mr. JARDINE remanded the prisoner to Thursday, refusing to admit him to bail. CLERKEN WELL. Patrick Quelpt; repulsive-looking Irishman, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt under the following circumstances : _ For a considerable time past numerolas gangs of Connaught and Munster men have frequently met near the turnpike, Islington, and desperate conflicts have occurred between them, to the serious injury of many policemen who have been required to interfere to prevent fatal results. On Monday night they as sembled as usual to " agree to differ," and after skir mishing about upwards of two hours a body of con stables, under the guid ance o f I nspector Thatcher, of the N f division, dispersed them and apprehended the prisoner, who had been acting as a leader or captain, and was wanted for being concerned in an outrage on Police-officer Cooke, 61 N, on the sth August last. The latter now deposed that while taking a man to the station-house he was surrounded by a gang of ruffians, among whom was the defendant, who in the first instance struck him violently over the arm and compelled him to let go his charge, and at the same instant he received several terrific blows at the back of his head, and eventually he dropped insensible, in which state he reulgued several hours. From the injuries then received he was still suffering and under medical treatment. Mr. TYRWHITT committed the defendut to the House of Correction for six weeks without fine. U T IS' AI:K.. 111ary Ann Payne, a girl of 17 years of age, the daughter of a tradesman residing in Upper Ground street, Blackfriars-road, was placed at the bar before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with attempting to commit suicide. The complainant, a rather interestingiooking girl, was obliged to be supported into court, owing to the extreme exhaustion produced by the poison she had taken and the remedies administered to neutralise its effects. Mary Payne, a respectable woman with an infant in her arms, stated that the prisoner was her daughter, and that she had been latterly in service. On the previous day, however, sbe returned home from her situation and complained of illness as the cause, and said that she bad a severe pain in the chest and was recommended to apply a mustard plaster over the part affected. She (the mother) was about preparing the remedy when her attention was di rected to her daughter, whom she observed in the act of swallowing something from a teacup, which she then placed on the table, and exclaimed, " I have taken poison." Witness, on hearing the avowal of her child, immediately left the house for medical aid, and the assistant of Mr. Bull, a surgeon of Black friars-road, having been immediately called to the case, he at once discovered that the prisoner was la bouring under the effects of oxalic acid, a portion of which he found in the cup out of which she had taken it. The quantity she had swallowed was excessive, bat owing to the administration of antidotes, and also the stomach-pump, the poison was neutralised in a great degree, and the patient although much debili tated, was still so far recovered as to be enabled to be brought up to this court on the present occasion. Mr. A ' BECKETT said that at present he should de cline putting any questions to the girl as to the cause of her having made so determined an attempt at sui cide, for if medical assistance had not been speedily procured, she would in all probability have been de stroyed, owing to the corrosive nature of the poison. The magistrate then inquired as to whether it was ascertained where the girl had procured the poison. The mother replied that she had told her that she sent a little girl for it, who was served at once from a shopkeeper in that neighbourhood. Mr. A ' BECKETT said that an Act was now in operation which made it a punishable offence for any person to sell poison under certain restrictions ; and that if it was purchased by any person under a cer tain age the seller was liable to a penalty of 201. The magistrate added that he should remand the prisoner for a week, with directions that she should be properly attended to in the infirmary of the gaol ; and in the meantime the policeman had orders to ascertain, if possible, where the oxalic acid was bought, in order that the person, whoever he might be, that add it might be brought there to answer for the offence. Ihe unfortunate girl was then carried out of the court in the arms of a policeman. FRAUD ON 7'HE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COjiEPANY. A man named John laroeltreau was brought up in custody a.; the police court, Bristol, on Moodily, on a charge ot having defrauded the Great Western Railway Company, by riding in one ot their carriagts from Bristel to Swindon without paying or tendering his fare for the journey. The informations were laid under the proviaions of the company's Act. 2d Victoria, cap. 27, clause 29, w hien says, •• That if any person shall at any time hereafter wilfully and knowingly ride by any of the said company's coaches or carriages, without having previously paid or tendered to the said company his fare, or the charge for riding in the said carriage, every such person shall forfeit and pay any sum not ex ceeding 405., together with the costs, eej." Mr. Ward, of the firm of o..borne and Ward, one of the company's solicitors at Bristol, attended to prosecute the complaint, and said he was instructed to press for a conviction and punishment. He should establish a complete case of fraud on the part of the prisoner, and as a sort of traffic was carried on by a great number of persons in the tickets of excursion trains, the company had been compelled to resort to the present prJceedings, in the hope that it would check the system complained of. The evidence was then gone into, by which it fully appeared that an excursion train left Paddington for Bristol and back, the tickets for which were not transferable, at eight o'clock on Sunday morning. It arrived at the Bristol terminus in Temple Meads at a quarter past twelve o'clock. At half-past eleven o'clock a police-constable named Spear saw the prisoner in front of the gateway on Bath-parade, awaiting with many other persons the arrival ot the train; therefore he could not have come down by it, for it had not then arrived. Just before the departure of the train in the evening on its return trip, the prisoner was seen on the platform, apparently about to depart by it. He was pointed out to Superintendent Burton, of the company's police, who having watched him into the train, and taken particular noticeof the compartment of the carriage in which he took his seat, got himself into the carriage, and accompanied the train as far as Swindon, where he saw the prisoner get out of the carriage and show a ticket properly marked for the down voyage. He was then questioned as to how he got possession of it, and his replies show ing that be had not received it in a proper manner, he was taken into custody, and brought back to Bristol by the superintendent, and locked up for the night. The magistrates observed that a clear case of fraud had been established against the prisoner, by which he bad ren dered himself liable to three months' imprisonment. The case, however, was the first of the kind which had been brought before the bench, and they should therefore mi tigate the penalty. The prisoner was then fined 20s. and costs, and in default of payment was committed to the House of Correction for 21 days. TEE SUICIDE AND ATTEMPTED 114 UR. DER AT TOTTENHAM. The adjourned inquest on the body of Carl Criglo was held yesterday at the White Hart, Tottenham, before Mr. W. Baker. The court having been duly constituted, Miss Brand, to whom the deceased was attached, deposed as follows :—The deceased had been away before the day of the accident, the 20th of August, for about three weeks, and on the morning of his dtath I had an interview with him. He came about eleven, after an absence of three weeks. My mother saw him also. When I saw him I asked him how he had been so long, and I inquired where he had been. He seemed very much confused. He said he had lost his way in his rambles. H e comp l a i ne d o f pa i n i n h i s heed, and said he thought he had a concussion of the brain. We were toge her some time, but we did not talk much, and he complained of his head being bad, and that he could not talk. He said nothing about our being married at that time. This was about eleven. He sat there until about twelve, when a letter was sent by him to the post, which was strangely written. The general purport of it was that he was about coming to the maw or top point. He said he had not been well alt the time he had been away, and he complained of pains in his head. This was about twelve o'clock, and at dinner time, between half-past twelve and one, I saw him again. He sat down to dinner, and appeared to be quite comfortable. He then talked rationally. He did not then wander from one subject to another; he was quite rational. He then smoked a cigar. He was very much ad dicted to smoking. He then asked me if we had re ceived a letter from his brother, and I said we had not. He said that his brother had stated that his father was dead; but that was not the fact. I told him his father was alive, and he said he had seen him passing along the streets, and he also said that people had seen him going along. I asked him what people, and he said he did not know, but they told him so. He seemed wandering. He seemed labouring under a delusion. He sat on the sofa, and after a short time he got up and said he must go again, and he got his hat and did not stop to shake hands with any of us. We thought this very strange. During the whole of this period he did not attempt to take my life, or anything of that kind. H e did no t appear t o have any feeling of jealousy. He then went away, and returned about eight o'clock in the even ing, when the accident took place. I was sitting at the window that looks on the pond, and my mo ther was in the gard en wa t er i ng t h e p l ants. I was writing a letter, and heard some footsteps. I looked from the window, and saw him at the gate, although it was dusk at the time. I saw there was a wildness in his countenance. He was quite alone. I got up to go to the door, and he got in before I could get to the door. He was very much agitated, and I now wish I had prevented him from getting in. He said, " Miss Brand, are you alone ?" and I did not answer ; and he then repeated the question. I answered, " No, I shall fetch my mother, who is close at hand." He said, " Oh, no ; I don't wish that." He took hold of my hand then—my right hand. I tried to get away to go into the garden, as I thought he wanted to see my mother. He seemed frightened—he trembled greatly, and was very much excited. He then put his right hand in his pocket, and I then screamed out. I saw something in his hand which made me scream. He then struck me immediately with a dagger in the chest. (The dagger was here produced—it was about six inches long.) He struck me at first lightly, but the second time more violently and forcibly. It slipped off the vital part of the side, and therefore had no fatal effect. He still held me by the hand. I was fainting, and fell down. He still held my band. He tried to stab me again, but I caught the blade with my band. He tried another time, and I forced away that also. He made a third attempt, and then stabbed himself twice near the abdomen very violently. He then fell down at the lower end of the room. My mother was crying " Murder !" He wa s on his hands and knees, trying to get up ; he struck my mother, who received the blow on her chest. My mother is now getting better. My mother then r an out into the str ee t. All this occurred in the kitchen which fronts the street, and looks towards the rail way bridge. I believe he was unsound in his mind when he committed these acts. He was evidently la bouring under temporary derangement or delusion— he could not have been sound ui his ;Wad. There BANKRUPTS.

STOCK EXCHANGZ.—The steadiness which pervaded the London Share Market yesterday was manifested in the Bir mingham market to-day. There were few sellers, and there appears to be little probability of any business of importance being transacted until a further advance of prices shall take place. Railway stocks generally are, however, looking up, and unless the reduced traffic which may be expected on the close of the Exhibition should operate adversely, an improve ment may be anticipated. The_ transactions reported were— Shropshire Union, 31. I ls. 3d. dis.—Midland Stock, 42 Ditto, Halves, 20 dis. FRENCII RACES.—The Chantilly races are fixed for the 12th October. The principal stake, the Omniam, is of 10,000 f. The Paris races are to take place on the 19th, 23d, and 26th October. The Government Stakes are to be run for, and the Principal of them is the Grand Prix National, of 14,000 f. The number of horses in training iu the vicinity of Pads is unusually great (about 200), and capital sport is expected. When made up in General Povt-oftleel London.
