We have received from Marseilles dispatches in anticipation of the Overland Mail, which lEft Bombay on the 25th ult. The intelligence is not important. 'We take the fol.. lowing ample summary from the Bombay Times : "The English mail of the 24th of May arrived in Bombay on the 21st of Jane, the transit having been accomplished in the singularly short space of 27 days - 14 hours. " Our rains have thi; season been somewhat late of setting in;liitherto they have been rather scanty, but we can augur a 3 yet nothing from what has occurred as to the ultimate character of the season—on the whole it seems to promise favourably. We had a severe thun derstorns on the morning cf the 14th. when one or more houses in.the fort were struck with lightning, and about six inches of rain fell in twelve, hours. Up to the pre sent date the fills amounts to 16.00 inchcs in all. " There is now no longer any dotili:at..cut the reirr ment of Sir C. Napier. He tidi,sti final leave Innis in October. No authentic acnunts of the Milne of his successor have yet been promulgated. Sir W. Gomm is expected to ti.ke chArge of the Bombay army in Novetree:r. " On the 29th of May n public meeting took place in the Town-hall, for the ineuguration el a School of In diastry, for sorae time in contemplation et the presidency. The Chief Justice presided; the whole of the members of Government, the Judaea ot the Sudder Arlawlut, and the greater part of the general staff now at the presi dency, were present. Tne Right Honourable the Gover nor was chosen patron; Sir E. Perry, president; Vice- Presidents—The lion. J. P. Willoughby, the Hon. D. A. Bane, Mr. John Warden, Sir Samseljee Jejeebhoy, and Mr. Juggonath Sunkersett. Committee :—Mr. A. Spena Mr. M. Larkee, Mr. Jelin Smith, Captain P. T. French, Captain H.. 1. Barr, Mr. Cursetjco Jamsetjee, and Mr. Cursetjee Pestoejee. Secretary, Dr. George Buist. The school leis since been opened for the reception of pupil:, ot whom there is a considerable number now in attendance, or in immediate pros pect. The objet's ef the establishment, are, in the first place, to reclaim juvenile culprits, and teach them trades, by which they may earn their bread; Kcondly, to en deavour to improte the processes of manufactures and advance the'resources of the country. Destitute juve niles alone are maintained by the charity, but instruction will be willingly impacted to any one desiring it. The attempt to introduce improvements by locating indi vidual improvers in the districts has hi herto proved a complete failure. There seems no reason to doubt in the success of a central establishment resorted to from all quarters by parties who return to their country to introduce the implements in which they have been taught. " A curious case of the tyranny practised in native states, even when meat strictly under the surveltunce of the British Government, has just come to light. Some years since a wealthy merchant at Baroda died, leaving two wives behind him; the el:kr widow was of weak intellects, but had a son; the younger, a woman of talent and spirit, was fair months ad vanced in pregnancy at the time of her bereave ment. The husband willed that his property, amounting to above half a million sterling, should be life rented its the widows, and that in the event of a boy being born, it should be divided equally betwixt the children, the mothers being trustees over the whale till they were of age—the survivor to inherit all in case of the decease of either. The Brahmin died—five months afterwards his widow was delivered of a son; as the heritage was an enormous one, every precaution was taken to secure evidence of the genuineness of the child. Not the slightest doubts on this subject were raised for a year and a half, when the younger widow began to bring Baba, the manager of the estate, to account for ex travagant conduct. While the child was out on an airing it was stolen and carried into the wilderness by Baba's directions, as is now allowed; the mother was placed under personal restraint, and told she was r.n im postor—that the child was none of hers—that hers had died in infancy. Remonstrance was in vain. Baba had now secured every channel of access to Government by bribes or loans. At length a punchayat or jury of five was pro posed. This, at first, according to the advice of a native lawyer, anxious to maintain litigation, the widow, strong in her consciousness of innocence, declined. A court of Baba's deves was now constituted, and the care decided against her, no intimation having been gircn her as to the charges to which the was to enevrsr, the evidence supporting them, the rvcord kept, or sentence pronounced. Repeated applications on the subject have hitherto only produced the answer - Met the case was closed--Baba was content, so were his abettors; when did ever the cause of suffering awaken sympathy or arouse frlerAls in the East, when the sufferer woe poor and pennilese? The Bombay Government have last been petitioned to take into con sideration the Leer matter of the abduction of the child. Baba had nu more right to make assey with an adopted child than with the offspring of the widow—the theft offirs the strongest presumption of his guilt. The senior widow is now said to repent her ever having joined the persecu tion against her sister, and to be aexiGus, if left to her self, to come into the field in her dsfence. Well she may, if she dreams that her own offspring will ever see maturity or she herself survive man) years, she must look for a consummation unknown in Oriental history. The family ot the benket mere under the protection of the British Government, and on this ground it is that we are specially bound to interfere, either to secure for the widow her rights or expole her as an impostor, if what has been stated should turn out incapable of proof; and, what is apprehended is, the usual lazy answer by which injustice is soothed and ease secured—'refer to previous decie;.ene.' The cruel Baba, at all events, de serves no mercy, uulse, child-stealing is to bs formally sanctioned under authority of the British Government. " Mr. Beadon has been appointed to inquire into the state of the Post-office at Calcutta, Mr. H. Forbes at Madras, and Mr. W. Courtney at Bombay, with a view to the general improvement of the system. It is ex pected that the franking system, which debits the pubic with the carriage of Government letters and papers, and is liable, besides, to the most enormous abuses, will be recommended to be done away with ; that a large reduc tion on letter pustages, with probably the prepayment system, will be introduced, and that the charge for the transmission of newspapers will be commuted from postage to a one anna (Id.) stamp, enforced on the same general plan as at home. The measure will be emi nently unhappy to those journals, three-fourths of whose circulation is at the place of publication, which, being mainly devoted to personal squabbles, and abuse, or to local gossip or slander, can never look for extend ing their circulation, and will have to pay 2 1 . a year of duty for papers which will never enter the post-effice. So long as postmasterships are considered exclusively civil service appointments they must be in a great measure sine cures. However able or excellent may be the gentleman on whom they are conferred—and there is no division of the service more full of ability—a civilian who late in life comes into au appointment of the duties of which he can know nothing—where he finds these all well dis charged by his deputy, where he has no inducement to exert himself or to learn, as perfection will not accelerate, nor want of it regard, his advancement to the next stage fixed in the service, to which the postmastership is looked on as a transient step merely—theduties would be as well performed by deputy without him as with him. The Post-office is thus made available with the sum of 6,000/. or B,cool. a-year of bonus to the sinecure, for which nothing whatever is received in return. "Mr. R. M. Stephenson and th 3 engineering staff cf the Bengal Railway have arrived at Calcutta, aad find ing the plan concocted betwixt the London Board and the Court of Directors impracticable, are preceeding on the examination of a new line, in hopes of obtain ing a fundamental change in all their arrangements, and a further and fresh guarantee from tie Court of Directors. The most tensible scheme seems to be to pro ceed in the direction of Burdwan, where large returns may be looked for from the transmission of coal and other minerals. On the expenditure of a million sterling the Friend of India assures us 7 1 t, per cent. gross gain may be looked for; from this fail to he deducted the charges for working the line. Pact inquiries with the cost of course become useless, a , AI an entirely new scheme,with a new guarantee on a much larger capital than at pre sent, must bo secured. We have no elonbt of the India House coming into any reasionabk measure that can be laid before them; past eccurrences are anything but calculated to secure the confidence of capitalists. We mentioned in our Overland Sumtrary of the 17th of April that some such result a-; this wet inevitable; the statement was met by the emphatic could &diction of the London board. Unfortunately its accurvy was not only notorious to every man in India, bat the impossi bility of constructing a railway on the plan proposed h:l.d been shown at lamas years before. Is it wonderful that when such things as this occur all confidence in home management should be lost in India? On the accounts of the riTeat Indian Peninsula meeting of the 29th of April ',-. oac hi ng Bombay, stock at once fell 50 per cent. " Since ' . ,ne dispatch of last mail Captain Newbold, one of thn , most distin gu i s h e d o f our Eaglish geo grapher, has been removed by death. He was assistant to the _Resident at Hyln: abad. Ho had been long ailing, a•A his demise, though deeply lamented, was not un `.ooked for. He died st Mahabuloshwar on the 29th of May. He was cat off without a moment's warning, in the midst of his studies. " One of our most enterprising medical men at the Presidency, Dr. Lsrkworthy, has been cut off by eho lera—the dis , mse whose ravages he was at the time en to stay or to mitigate. deavouring " Sir IL Lawrence hes proceeded on leave for a few months to Cashmeer, where it is probable h e will. be joined by Colonel G.

It is reported that the Governor-Ge neral will not accept of the resignation of Mr. Pringle, commissioner in Sinde, end has celled for the reasons which induced him to resign. It is further said that in future there is to be a commissioner for Upper as well as Lower Shade, and that both are to be under the orders of the Lahore Commission. " The Nizarn'a dominions are once more in a disturbed state, and it is rumoured that Sir G. F. Berkeley in tends visiting the capital shortly. " The Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Bombay reached Poonah on the 31st cf May and 31 of June, where they remain till Oct:rber. The Governor-General and Commander-ie.-Chief in India are at Simla.

BOMBAY MARKETS, FROM THE 25TE' MAY TO THE 24TH JUNE INCLUSIVE. BOMBAY, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 24. Money still continues abundant, and discounts easy, and there is likely to be a continuance of this state of affairs for some time to come. Government securities have maintained their value, the open loan being at par to 1 per cent, discount. Fours have been sold at 85. Shares are comparatively neglscted, but we hear of some transactions in those of the Bank of Bombay at 20 per cent, premium. Orientals we quote at 161 per cent. discount, and Agras at 41 per cent. discount. The import market during the past month has been, as usual during the early part of the monsoon, almost totally inactive—the only sales effected being the con sumption on the spot. By the end of the rains the up country markets will have become bare, and should the season prove a favourable one, a brisk trade may be looked for. A large number of vessels with suppliee have arrived since the date of our last report, but while the present high prices for cotton arm maintained, we can look but for light supplies of .t Manchester goods. The cotton market continues extremely active, and is the only article of export inquired after. Cotton Piece Goods—To effect sales in any descrip tion of piece goods a reduction on last month's rates has to be submitted to. Those chiefly iu request are 40- inch and 45-inch grey, and 72 reed white shirtings of the middling and superior qualities, and the best de scriptions of jacconets. Grey shirtings have sold to ex tent of 1,900 pieces, at prices varying from Sr. 3a. to 64r. per piece ; and bleached jacconets 1,800 pieces at from 31r. to 5-g-r. p.p. In other descriptions there have been but few transactions. Cetton Yarn—The sales during the month amount to 111 bales (chiefly No. 20's) mule, and 250 bales (chiefly No. 30's) water twist, 70 bales orange yarn, and 25 bales Turkey red yarn. Best quality orange realizes 11,1- at 12 annas, and Turkey red, Qr. per lb. Metals—Copper—Sheathing, tiles, and braziers', are firm and in good demand. A small quantity direct from Australia has sold for 47fr. per cwt. Iron—Swedish ,bar is in request, while British bar, nail rod, sheet and hoop and Swedish steel, are but little inquired for. Leal —Sheet as before, dull; pig in request. Cochineal—We have heard of a sale of 2,0001b5., at 2r. 33. per lb. The market is dull, but prices remain firm. Saffron—No transactions. Woollens—The only sales eff:ctel during the month have been 144 pieces scarlet, 54 inch 22 yards, at 11r.; and 8 pieces 62 inch 19 yards, at 2ir. per yard. In flannels we hear of sales of 100 pieces at 7,100 at 105., and 75 at 9a. per yard. Beer, Wine, and Spirits—ln Allsopp's, Bass's, and Hodgson's, beer, large sales have been made during the month. In wines and spirits there has been little doing. Marne Stores—The only sale we have heard of is one of 150 cwt. cordage, at 19r. per cwt. Oil of linseed is in some slight demand; paints and spirits of turpentine, as also canvas and twine, wry dull. EXPORTS. Cotton Wool—The purchases during the month amount to 3,350 bales and 4,250 candies. Although last advices from England were highly favourable, the large quantities of the st?.pl now in the market have prevented the rise in price which would otherwise have taken place; and, indeed, a &cline is looked for, owing to the setting in of the rains, and the fact of last accounts from China being of a less encouraging nature than those formerly received. Opium—Since the arrival of laat China mail on the 21st inst., the Frio, of Malwa has advanced to 1,530 r. per chest; prior to that date ;the rate was 1,240 r. to 1,200 r. Freights—Subsequent to the date of our last Overland dispatch several ships were taken up f )r Liverpool at 11. 10s. per t)r, since then the rate has advanced, and en icageuient.s have been made at 11. 17s. 6d. per ton, and for partial lots at 21. ss. To L-indon the rates have been ruling between 1/. 15s. and 21., but to-day something more could be obtained we think. To China shorely after the departure of the last mail numerous vessels were entm,ved at 61r. per candy. Since then rates have advanced to 7r., Sr., and 9r.; but in consequence of un favourable accounts of the cotton market in China, the I a`e has again declined, and is now nominal at 7r. to Br. Exchange—The Commercial Bank has been drawing at 9 4. 01, six months' sight we understand, and docu ment bills have been placed at 2e. Op. and 2s. Oid. six months' sight. Russell's and other clean credits seem scarce. Transactions for this mail have not been heavy; at this season they seldom are. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Stafford, July 27. By the co-operation of Mr. Whateley, Q.C., and Mr. Greaves, Q.C., who presided in separate courts, one in the grand jury room, and the other in the Judges dining-room, for the trial of prisoners, all the Crown business, with the exception of the murder case, on which the jury were deliberating, and two indictments for perjury, were disposed of by ten o'clock last night. At that hour the first of the indictments was called on in the Crown Court, before Mr. Justice Wil liams, when Mr. HUDDLESTON (who was the leading counsel for the prosecution), said, that having been engaged the whole of that day in the two cases of murder, ho was physically inclpable of proceeding with another case that evening; and aq, moreover, the defendant was not present, he hoped his Lordship would adjourn the court until the next morning. Mr. Justice WILLIAms said he should be most glad to do so if the state of the public businees would permit him, but there were three civil cause*, asd two indictments for perjury still to he tried, and yet to-morrow was the commission day at Shrewsbury. He had no doubt that the counsel was very much fatigued, but ho must remember that both himself (the Judge) and the jury had been working equally hard, and were equally tired. He did not in tend that the whole case should be tried that evening, bat merely wished to make some progress in it. The presence of the defendant was not indispensable, this being a misdemeanor, and it was admitted she would surrender in the morning. Mr. Hunneesroer still contended that the presence of the defendant was necessary, and as Counsel for the pro secution, required that she should surrender before the trial was proceeded with. He also further urged the plea of exhaustion, and added, that from the pressure of business at these ass:zes, he had not been able to open his brief in the present case; and, if he were compelled to proceed must read it at length to the jury, in order that he might at the same time inform himself and them of the charge against the defendant. After a long discussion, Mr. Justice WILLIAMS directed the jury to he sworn and the case to he proceeded with. After the oath had been repeated to the jury, The crier said, my Lord, one of the jurymen refuses to take the oath. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS—HOW is this, sir? Juryman (producing from the depths of his fob an enormous wateb, and extending it at arm's length towards his Lordship)—Whoy, my Loard, its noaw mare than ten o'clock, and I'om now bean sitting here and in t'other courts moan) then thoirteen hours, and I wo'ant sit no moair this noight if I can help it.—(Great laughter, in which the Judge joined very good humouredly.) Further discussion took place, and at length it b:- came apparent to everybody that no progress would be made in the case even if it were proceeded with, and it was adjourned until the morning. PERJURY.—EIIen Capewell, aged 45, was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury, committed at the last Sum mer assizes. Mr. Huddleston and Mr. P. M'Mahon appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Whateley, Q C., and Mr. Skin ner for the defence. The case occupied the Court from nine in the morning till six o'clock. It arose out of an action of trespass brought by Captain Powys, of Cheadle, against a man named Clewes, to try the title to a piece of wharf at the left-hand side of Basford canal bridge as you go from Leek to Cheadle, occupying altogether a space of 16 yards. Clewes defended as the servant of a gentleman named Sneyd, and the question of title was therefore in substance tried as between Powys and Sneyd, both being gentlemen of the highest respectability and of very con siderable fortune; and both resembling the honest Dandy Dinmont in hie litigation—looking not to "the value of the thing but the justice." The few feet of wharf were admitted on both sides to be really of little value; but each claimed a title from a remote period, Mr. Sneyd contending that it had been in his family along with the surrouuding land at that aide of the canal bridge for at least 70 years; and Captain Powys claiming it for a very long period also, under a deed of exchange with the former proprietors of the ad joining land. Captain Powys's land was at the north side of the bridge, and Mr. Sneyd'a at the south; and the spot in question was on the south, and if Captain Powys's claim were well founded would certainly interfere with the fair proportions of Mr. Sneyd's land; and, therefore, if ever " the grays of a goose" were an excusable ground of litigation it was certainly so here. The cause was entered for trial at the Spring Assizes of 1849, and in consequence of the judges not having time to try it, it was, at the close of the assizes, made a remanet—of course, at an enormous ex pense to the parties, who had kept upwards of sixty witnesses for some days at Stafford. It was tried at the rext assizes by a speciel jury, and ended in a verdict for Captain Powys. The defendant was one of his witnesses. She had been authorised formerly both by him and Mr. Sneyd to collect the wharf-dues for both, but since 1832, when Mr. Sneyd erected a public-house called the Navi gation Inn, near the bridge, she had ceased to collect for him. In order to prove user and possession by Captain Powye, it would be very materi al to ascertain who had received ' the dues for this piece of wharf since the erection of the Navigation Inn, and she swore that she had been always paid them for Captain Powys by all persons using the wharf—by Mr. Sneyd himself, by several of his servants, tenants, and others claiming under him, whom she named, and particularly by his woodrangsr ; that it had not been claimed by any one but the Powys family; that sho had not received any money for it on account of Mr. Sneyd; and that she had not had a particular conversation with some of her neighbours. Fur these statements she was now brought to trial. Eight of those whom she named as having paid her on account of Csptein Powys con tradicted her point blank, swearing that they had not done se, and that when she demanded wharf ego for the wharf now in dispute, they refused to pay ir, and she udmitted that s h e had no right to that side of the bridge. Others proved that she demanded the wharfage in the rhone of Mr. Sneyd, and others proved the conversation. On the other heed, witnesses to were and this was treated as it sailed d to he e p h r Provo si t h r e . Baron A fte r Rolfe, the speeches, who t ried the act everything but the con versation,ions, as mere idle talk. ct),hevidences,,pairaeostaitrs9emen_ retired to summing up had occupied nine hours, the t jury minuteshe verdi c to fpa guiltyst six, n a and to consult at a few returned with a seven n erial assignments, acquitting her on the charge es t o the conversatiwi. WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY was thereupon, after a very severe reprimand, his Lord ship intimating that but f. , r her age be would be dis posed to punish her more severely, zentence:l to a year's imprisonment. The second indictment was against another witness, who had slio given evidence on the same occasion against Mr. Sneyd; but on Mr. Whateley saying that the defendant was prepared to admit that he was mis taken in swearing what be did, the charge was not pro ceeded with, and a verdict of acquittal was taken by consent. WESTERN CIRCUIT —Bodmin, July 27. CROWN COURT. There were the names of twenty-four prisoners in the calendar. Witlianz Gibson plraded guilty to an indictment charg ing him with setting fire to a rich. Mr. Justice COLEEIDGE, in sentencing the prisoner, said that la? had statAl he wished t,) be transported. The Court was not in the htiiiit of attending to the wishes of prisoners, but in such a case as this he must ho trans ported ; let it, howev:.r, not be supposed that transpor tation was merely a rcmoval from one country to another, and that the prisoner would there have the op portunity of bettering his condition. He would first be kept in separate confinement for twelve months ; he would then most likely be sent to Portland, and ho sub ject to very severe and hard labour at the breakwater; and after heing there for a long time, he would be sent out of the country. The sentence was that he should be transported for ten years. Robert Hood, aged 62, was convicted of a rape upon a girl, and was sentnced to 20 years' transportation. Thomas Balzer, jun., was indicted f',,r striking and besting Coles about the head, from which beating and striking he died. Mr. H. T. Cole prosecuted, and Mr. Collier defended the prisoner. It appcared that the decersed was a farmer. On the 27th of May he was at a public-house called the New Inn, at Week St. Mary. The prisoner came into the room in a most excited state, being intoxicated, and off,:red to fight any one there. At length he addressed the deceased, and endeavoured in every way to induce. him to fight. He provoked him very much, but the de ceased said he would not tight, although he was not afraid. The prisoner then struck him two blows, one over the eye, and the other under the ear. After the last blow the deceased fell from his seat, and in a few minutes died. The surgeon said, he considered the deceased died from apoplexy, which might have been occasioned by the blow. He did not make a post mortem examination, be cause the coroner's jury did not wish it. The witness, upon being pressed in cross••examina tion, went into all kinds of possibilities. The deceased might have been attacked with apoplexy even without a blow. Ile was a stoat subject, and tberefore liable to apoplexy; and from the surgeon's evidence it would seem that, not having had a post mortem examination, he could not tell much about it, and he could not say anything, in fact, that was of any value upon the subject. The - jury found the prisioner Guilty of a common assault; and he was sentenced, after a severe admoni tion from the judge, to three months' imprisonment. The assizes for Cornwall commenced on Friday at twelve o'clock, end ended on Saturday at two o'clock. During our remembrance the judges have been com pelled to sit early and late for a week to get through the business. Certainly the promotion of Mr. Cockburn and the illness of Sergeant Kinglake, who was compelled on that account to leave DJrchester, and has not been able to come here, may have had something to do with the small quantity of business, for these gentlemen having been retained, the attorneys were placed in an unex pected position. It is expected that Mr. Slade will be made a Queen's Counsel before the conclusion of the circuit. Parties feel heavily the loss they have sus tained in the promotion of the S:Aicitor-General. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WESTMINSTER. EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES EY A LADY'S MAID, and CHARGE AGAINST TWO POLICEMEN.—Mary Ann Raw lings (who has lived as a lady's-maid in several families of distinction), John Martin, 36 B: and Charles Murray, 171 B, who had been remanded—the female prisoner charged with stealing two gold watches, a valuable brooch, a silver teapot, and other property, from General Sir Colin Halkett, Governor of Chelsea Hospital, and the two latter with having feloniously received the brooch, were brought up for final examination. '!'here were other charges against the female prisoner, and a second against Martin. Sir Colin and Lady Halkett, Sir Fortunatus and Lady Dwarris, and other persons of condition interested in the proceedings, were accommodated with seats on the bench. A gentleman from the office of Mr. Humphreys, soli citor, attended on behalf of the male prisoners. The voluminous evidence, which has been already de tailed, having been read over, Lucy Barter), laundreis ' 23, William-street, Portland town, produced some lace habit-shirts and a pair of cuffs, which had been brought to her by the female prisoner on the 11th inst. to wash. Larly Leitia Ha'keit proved that the female prisoner had he - m in her service as lady's maid, three weeks up to the let instant, and identified the several articles pro duced upon this and the formeroceasion. In reply to a question from the male prisoner's advo cate, her Ladyship could not state the exact value of the brooch, which had been presented to her some years ago by the General. It might ho valued about 61. It be longed to a set, other portions of which she produced. Sir Colin Halkett was called to negative a statement made by the female prisoner. In reply to the inquiry from Mr. Taylor, the chief clerk, whether he bad ever given her the brooch, he replied that he had not. lie could not tell the value of the brooch. As this concluded the case against the accused, they were severally addressed in the words of the statute by Mr. BRODERIP, who inquired whether they wished to say anything? The female replied in the negative, and the male prisoners' legal adviser reiterated the arguments used by Murray on his previous examination, and solicited his discharge at once. _ _ Mr. BRODERIP refused to accede to this request which was strongly pressed by the advocate, until he had heard the other cases which were to be brought forward. The next case was then proceeded with. Sarah Smith, female searcher at the Pimlico station, proved finding a stocking marked " Rosa Platt" on the female person, and another s imilarly marked and apparently prisoner'spparentl yits fellow in her box. Mr. Samuel Platt, magistrate for the county of Mid dlesex, residing at 10, Hyde Park. gar d ens , s t a ted that the prisoner entered his service as one o f the lady's maids, on the 23d of April, and rema i ne d a f o rtnight. After identifying the handwriting upon the stockings as Mrs. Platt's, Mr. Platt stated that ho had discharged the prisoner on suspicion of robbing the kitchen-maid of half a sovereign. H o then w en t t h rough a long li s t o f articles, including silk stockings, &c., which had been missed from his house immediately after the prisoner's departure. Mr. BItoDERIP inquired whether he had received a character with the prisoner? Mr. Platt replied that be had received a good character with the prisoner from Lady Manners. The female prisoner, in reply to this charge, said that Miss Rosa Platt threwthe sto c ki ngs out of her d rawer . Accused knew nothing about th e h alf-sovereign. In the next case the prisoner M art i n was i nc l u d e d i n the charge, again placed i n the dock by the side of the female prisoner. h ll9 B, raid that between produced two cambric hand i-ce Eliza Lane, reh icf. i whichae, a hadlaundress,hee a efcwith her by the prisoner ni rtr.eoha Rawlings nnd t Davy,e to nm a p s io h nl itches ago constable, - he the duplicate ticket of a watch and gold pin, in pawn York-street, Westminster, of thepawn at Mr. Roberta's, prisoner Martin.

They were pledged by a pers on w h o Queen-stre IT et. -- 0 could gave the name John Martin, 5, not identify the accused (Mar tin) as the person pledging. The length of time that had elapsed prevented his being able to remember the fea tures of the person. Miss Ann Brereton stated that the prisoner i . Rawl ngs Lady was in the servi ce o f h er sister, D James street, Buckingham-;ate, for a short time, about June last, during whi c h witness was u p on a v i s i t there. Miss Brereton identified the two pocket-handkerchiefs which had belonged to he r mot h er , a nd the gold pin, ' as her property. In her cross-examination by the male prisoner's ad vocate, the lady repeated that she identified the pin by some peculiar marks about it, although she could not exactly describe them, and pointed out the marks to which she alluded. She could not exactly tell the period at which she lost the things produced. In her re-examination by Mr. I3RODERIP, Miss Bre reton said she had the things at the time she went to pay the visit at her sister's. The female prisoner, in reply to this charge, said she knew nothing about either the pin or the watch, and never gave them to Martin. Mr. Roberts was recalled to ascertain whether he could identify the female prisoner upon another charge with reference to some valuable table-linen, without which identification the case could not be supported. Mr. Ro berts said he should be most happy to assist the ends of justice, but he could not identify the person who had pawned tbo property, an interval of 13 months having since elapsed. Mr. Bnopeere said he should commit the prisoner Rawlings upon the several charges brought against her. Ho expressed his opinion that be did not think the male prisoners had any reason to feel surprised at the situa tion in which they were placed; but the question was not whether they had acted prudently or properly, consider ing their position, but whether there was sufficient evi dence to warrant a committal. He thought that there was, but it was so fix from conclusive that he would ac cept two sureties in 30/. each for their appearance at the sessions. ---BOTANIC WATER [A D V ERTISE MENT.] AND BEAKS' GREASE.—When the hair is becoming thin, and fall ing•off, the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above-named articles, applied alter nate!y, the botanic water to c l ea nse the roots from sc ur f, and as a stimulant, and the bears' grease as a nourisher.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOODWOOD RACES. CMCITESTER, Mot DAY NIGHT.—The entries tur the plates, aees, closed this evening ut Goodwood, and if one or two did not come up to the mark—the Craven Stakes and Cowdray Stakes, the Stewards' Cup, Inkeepers', Angleuey, and Queen's Plates, filled better than usual, proving that there were plenty of horses in the neigh bourhood, and that the. daily average of racing is likely to came up to the amount we mentioned last week.' The pen was drawn through a considerable number of two and three years old, and several engagements were thus re duced within narrow dimensions. For the Ham and Goodwood Stakes, the Nursery Plate, and the Cups, the fields will be larger than appear to have been generally anticipated. The two and five o'clock trains this afternoon left London-bridge station with immense freights, but num bers having stoppsd at Brighton, Worthing, or Bognor, with the intention of abiding there during the races, the proportion which reached Chichester was confined almost exclusively to the sporting classes, for whose accomode tion the Subscription Betting,-room Was opened as usual; not a bet, however, was laid. A large and distinguished party is assembled at Good wood, where open house will be kept to the close of the week. A good deal of rain fell this evening, about seven o'clock, and the prospects of the meeting in respect of weather are dubious. TUESDAY.—The weather this morning, contrary to expectation, turned out fine, and having continued so throughout the day, we are enabled so tar to record a favourable commencement of the meeting. The sport, too, was ample and interesting, but the attendance did not, either in number or rank, come up to the standard. The list of the fashionables, and of the Goodwood and Molecomb parties, we must defer until to-morrow. The following return will show that four great " cer t uinties" did not come off, and that the " fielders" found some consolation for a long run of ill luck.

The minor pieces contained in this volume, of whose principal poem we had occasion some time back to speak in terms of high and richly -merited eulogium, fully sustain lir. Kent's high character as an accomplished writer, and an intuitive and ideal artist, possessing very considerable powers of fancy and of pathos, together with a felicity of expression which no more cultivation can ever give —the genuine and unforced fruit of an originally poetic tempera ment. There is the same apparently careless beefily of la,ngutge, the same happy choice of imagery, the some tenderness, and the same truth in these shorter poems as in his longer and more sustained effort.' The following sonnet on poor Keats seems pregnant with the peculiar graces of Mr. Kent's style : " Another sadness round Apollo's fane; A cypress wreath hunt on his golden lyre; A gleam of beluty born but to expire; Another C'nattcrton in heart and brain— Tito doom of genius fell on earth again, And, liko a thunderbolt of Sapphic fire, Blas!ol the rapture c.,f thy young desire! Again from out thy lips the deathful strain Pour'd like the murmur of undying love. Again the glory, and again the woo Of bardic joy fell on thee here below, Fell but to lift thy fame to realms above. A life bad perfected t. y form, but now A torso of eternal grace art thou !" The concluding line, concentrating as it does in its most quintessential form the whole truth about Keats' genius, is singularly felicitous ; the sonnet itself realises the ideal formed by Keats himself of this class of composition, -- "swelling loudly Up to its climax, and then dying proudly." In the verses which immediately succeed, upon " Amelia ; a Beloved Memory," there is a deep and genuine pathos, which passes fresh from the soul of the poet into the soul of the reader : " beautiful ex ceedingly" is this recollection of • " The smile of innocence and joy, The smile of bright, seraphic rest, Which hallow'd, like a saint, the form That died upon my breast. It, gleams upon my mem'ry still, It wafts me back to years of old, It glimmers on the darken'd Past Like moonbeams on the wold." Very beautiful, too, is this pure and delicate tracery of a virtuous and gentle character : "Thy sorrow for fictitious woe, Thy sympathy for true distress, Thy tears of charity divine— The tears that God will bless— Thy noble and unselfish mind, Thy spotless and celestial youth, Resembling in angelic dreams The radiant grace of Ruth. Such recollections stream along The channels worn by floods of grief And, oh! they pour upon my soul A sad and lorn relief. They bring me back to peaceful scenes, To scenes and things to you so dear, And, at the potent touch of truth, What buried thoughts appear! Thoughts of thy bright, poetic taste, Thy seer-like, child-like love of books— A love that shone within thine eyes, And liv'd within thy looks." Unless we are mistaken, in allowing ourselves to be influenced by a very natural and indeed almost un avoidable feeling, there must be great depth, delicacy, and purity in the character of a writer who can so admirably appreciate Lied pourtray these qualities in another. Ttie following passages from a poem called "A❑ Elegy on the Old Year" are tinged with the same tender melancholy, and are steeped besides in that idyllic richness of expression which we have already noted as an attribute of Mr. Kent's style : " Weeds grow where I look'd for roses—weeds, weeds! And the grave•mounds of the dead up-ripple the smooth meads; Where rich grapes were lately peeping, Knots of ivy boughs are creeping: Thus with me, alas! Old Year, thy dqeds Smiles have chang'd to weeping. Fair she was with youth and beauty—fair, fair! Lip of vermeil, deep as sunset, molten gold her hair; One she stood amidst a crowd, She—withal so nobly brow'd, So pure, so mild—Old Year, thou hadst no love nor care, For she is in her shroud." • The lines printed in italics need no comment to re commend them to the lovers of rich and picturesque imagery. As a specimen of our author's style, we extract the whole of the graceful little poem called FEEINE IN THE CORN FIELD. " Feline dearly loves her lover, Loves him :IR the lark the morn; Yet her love she'll ne'er discover;--- Reaping down the ripened corn. He is timid of her beauty, Timid as the fawn of eves, And his passion screens with duty;— Swathing round the rustled sheaves. She allows her thoughts to slumber As at midnight sleep tho flocks, While his sighs her sighs outnumber;— Preppirg up the yellow shocks. What though he beside her tremble, (Sunbeams weave a checquered shade!) She will yet h3r love dissemble; — Gleaning each forgotten blade. For he has not told the glory Of his loving hopes and fears; And she hides her heart's fond story;— Toying with the wheaten ears. 'Heath his gaze her pale cheek flushes, Yet her love is still conceal'd, While the last autumnal thrushes Warble near the stubble field. Fefine :peaks not, yet her glances Toll of love in every look, And while boldly he advances Downward drops his reaping hook. Lo! his pent emotion gushes Blindly firth in burning words; While in answer she but blushes— 'Round them softly chaunt the birds. Palm to palm their fingers mingle— He so fervid, she so chaste; Thro' his arm warm pulses tingle Circling 'round her supple waist. All her grace of art he copies, Bending o'er her form so'fair, Twining scarlet leaves of poppies In her auburn gloom of hair. Fefine dearly loves her lover, Loves him as the lark the morn, Now that both their love discover— Breathing 'mid the golden corn." The exquisitely tender lines on a " Mother's Love" contain passages of a very high order of beauty ; our citations must be limited to the following stanzas on a topic abundantly familiar, but which has very rarely been more gracefully handled : "Days of my boyhood! wherefore did ye seem So glad, and bright, and glorious, and fair; Why did ye flit in such a joyous dream, Giving a bluer beauty to the air . : Did the green river sparkle clearer then, Were the rimm'd daisies whiter in those hours; Came there a blither whistle from the wren, Or sweeter perfume from the meadow flowers? I know not; but more softly atirr'd the leaves, The cowslips bloom'd more golden in the grass, Poppies look'd deeper scarlet in the sheaves, And thyme smelt sweeter in its russet mass; A richer ripeness gloom'd upon the fruit, A pearlier dew hung glimmering on the sprays; A darker purple deck'd each violet's shoot, And fraught with charms appear'd those mystic days. , Of all the minor pieces, however, in•this volume, the most remarkable is " Phillippo, the Dream - -haunted," a poem founded on " an old legend of a young man in Languedoc, who, seeing an unknown lady in a dream, pined away and died for the love of her, despairing." In this Idyll (for such in truth it is) the shadowy 's t en d e rness, the vague longing, the c hi l l disenchant ment of a poet love - dream are given w ith hi g h artistic power; it seems as though the teller of the tale had drawn his inspiration from the waters of Lethe, and, in the language of Keats " made his rosary of yew berrie s ," an d " suffered his pale fore head to be kissed by nightshade, ruby grape of Pro serpine." The reader finds himself in a climate of mild and monotonous langour ; a visionary haze wraps all objects in the hues of the unreal; only at intervals the leaden air is streaked with some fever flashes of a passion whose anguish soon merges into despondency. How Phillippo, in the words of hi 3 poet, *lies for the death of his delicious dream and melts into oblivion" can only be learnt aright from the poem itself. The following extract will give some notion of the voluptuous richness of the imagery which adorns it " Then from night's solace I arose, and drain'd The healthful coolness nature breathes at morn, While my light step along th' elastic sod Mov'd with elated pressure; when the dew In splrkles glitter'd on the spider's web, The fairy cordage of its network strung From thorn to bramble, like most' delicats lace Powdered with diamonds; when the skyward lark thro' the vapours faint and fainter, till Its canticles of love were heard alone By the Invi,ibk; while tears of dawn Hung pendant on the pendant cherries, each A ruby with a twinkling crystal drop !" From the " Burial of the Archbishop," a sombre and solemn dirge, rich with the gleam of censers, and remnant with funeral music, we take the following passage of imitative melody : " Echo all the crypts around, Even every crevice dim, With a sweet, but awful sound — Sorrow's ogonizin 127 ma. Tuba mirum spargens sonum— 'Round the vaulted chambers ring, Per seputchra regionum— Where the silent dead we bring, Coget omnes ante thronum,— Sorrowfully murmuring." Space fails us for ftirther extract, and we must con tent ourselves, therefore, with merely pointing out to the reader's notice the two spirited and Tyrtsean ballads "The Hungarian Patriot," and "Lamartine in February," the politics of which alone would com mend them to all readers of this journal, even if their poetry were less meritorious than in fact it is. Here then we take a reluctant leave of Mr. Kent, in the full confidence that we shall encounter him once again in that region of high art where he has already achieved so much and given promise of so much more. The rich redundancy of his manner requires occasionally a wise repression ; maturer taste will no doubt increase the correctness and concentration. of his language; while it is certainly to be hoped that his next subject will be of more general interest and of more manageable proportions than . the "Doom of illy tho , logy." These, however, are all errors of judgment, for which time and experience supply the remedy. On the other hand, he possesses, in enviable though imperfectly developed vigour, some of the finest and rarest attributes of the poetic nature—wealth of words, grace of fancy, strength and variety of inventiveness. In these and their careful cultivation reside his future celebrity. He cannot, we think, fail, if ho be not wanting to himself. The sterile correctness which commences its career without fault is certain to con clude it without glory. Its highest praise is a kind of blameless impotence. The exuberant life and vigorous manhood of Mr. Kent have undoubtedly led him into some few faults of excess—excess of orna ment, excess of epithet, occasional excess of thought; but what Dryden says of the desire of glory may truly be affirmed of the occasional outbreak of a rich and generous nature, it is " a godlike sin" and worth a whole boarding-school of the tamer virtues. With such opinions of the position already won by Mr. Kent, and with such hopes for his future achievement, we heartily commend his book to our readers, and himself to " those fresh fields and pastures new" which few indeed of his cotemporaries are better fitted to traverse with honour. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,-02 Monday the 29th, the Member returned for London was called to the table, and asked by the Speaker, why he demanded to be sworn on the Old Testament; to which he replied, that it was because that was the form of swearing that he declared to be most binding on his conscience. On which he was directed to withdraw. Much skirmishing then ensued upon a motion, that the Member be asked what Oath he claims to take, whether the Roman Catholic or the Protestant Oath. On which nobody succeeded in making plain, or even in asking, whether the question meant, which of the two Oaths he pre ferred to take in substance but after his own form, which was on the Old Testament,—or which of them he preferred to take in the form in which ho would take nothing. If it was the last, the House was desired to put itself into the position of the Frenchman, who asked his chickens which of two sauces they preferred being eaten with. And on the cock's saying they did not want to be eaten at all, the Frenchman cried " Question, question." If it was the other, then it was apprehended the enemy was ready with the assertion, that the Roman Catholic Oath was rigidly and carefully limited to Roman Ca tholics. All of which probably operated in preventing the point being pushed to an explanation. This motion being withdrawn, motion was made that the Member should be asked by the Speaker whether he was willing to be sworn to the Oaths required of a Member by Act of Parliament before he takes his seat. Which being a manifest attempt to obtain an answer in an adverse form, was opposed and negatived by 118 to 104. Motion was then made that the House refuses to alter the firm of taking the Oaths. To which Amendment was moved, that the Clerk be directed to swear the Member for London on the Old Testament. And atter an ad journment to five P.M. the original motion was negatived without a division, and the Amendment carried by 113 to 59; the motive for allowing the original motion to be thus disposed of, being apparently the conviction that the Reco'utiolis promised by the, Government would do the busin-ss best. On Tuesday shortly after twelve at noon, the Member for London was again called to the table, and the Oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy administered to him on the Old Testament, the Member, at the instant of kissing the book, putting on his hat, which may be apprehended to bo a trace of the Oriental feeling, by which an individual who should uncover his head in presence of his superior, would be thought guilty of as great a solecism as one of our ancestors who should have exposed his shaven poll by taking off his peruke in like circumstances. The third Oath, that of Abjuration, proceeded in the same manner till the Clerk came to the words " on the true faith of a Christian," when the Member said " I omit those words, as not being binding on my con science," and immediately putting on his hat, said " So help me God," and kissed the book. Upon which he was directed by the Speaker to withdraw, a considerable number of the Members present crying out " No, no," and " Sit down." In the debate which ensued, the Member for Oxford " tJwn" made one of the most luminous and able plead ings produced before any judges. The Attorney-General followed, and assigned his reasons for the unhappy opi nion put forward by the mouth of the Prime Minister on the previous day, declaring his inability to agree with the sufficiency of the Oath. Conscience is a❑ intract able thing; but what conscience enforced the expression of this opinioa before the case was heard? It is plain that the Government not only discharged their con science, but fired it off considerably too soon for a con scientious hearing of the question. As bystanders are proverbially said sometimes to see more than those who play the game, the observation may bo hezarded by one in that position, that it might have been an improvement if on the Clerk's uttering " on the true faith of a Christian," the Member had said dis tinctly " on the true faith of a believer in the Old Tes tament," and then finished his oath. This would have added weight to the strong point of the defence, which was that the words were part of the form and not of the substance. It was stated in conversation, that it would not do to alter the words of the Oath. But a substitution of this kind is a smaller alteration of the words of the Oath than leav ing them out altogether. Besides which, it strengthens the claim for their being among the inufatis mutandis. . It further seemed to be an oversight in a leading ad vocate to volunteer the admission that his client " refused the words of the Oath." It might be for an adversary to urge, that he virtually refused. But the concession should not have been made, and having been made should be recalled. The fact is that the Member did not refuse. He stated that he omitted them as irrelevant. And the way to recover the lost ground, would be that be should be brought up again, and en coming to the words, should substitute "on the true faith of a believer in the Old Testament." This mild re •open the argument, that he has a right to change t` , e form; which is exactly what the plea that "he has refuted," is intended to preclude. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OLD REFORMER. London, July 31, 1850. FALL OF A MILL AT STOCKPORT. DREADFUL LOBS OF LIFE. Yesterday afternoon, between one and two o'clock, a very serious and alarming accident occurred at a mill bzlonging to Mr. Cephas Howard, and rented by Mr. Joseph Heywood as a doubling mill, while the hands were at dinner. One of the ma►n supports of the build ing gave way, and a great portion of it fell, burying 15 or 20 of the hands vvno real lined inside. Five people were conveyed to the infirmary, of whom one has died, and others are expected not to live. At present, none of those who were completely buried have been recovered, so that the names are not accurately known ; but we understand that, in addition to a number of girls who were dining at the mill, there were some machinists and workmen who were employed there temporarily. It is a fine large fireproof mill, four storeys high; and it will have to be almost entirely rebuilt. A great portion of the machinery was all new, and has been entirely destroyed. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. - CHESTER, SATURDAY.-- About a quarter before twelve o'clock last night the exten sive steam saw-mills belongiq. to Messrs. Dickin and Beards worth, situate near the Shrewsbury and Chester Canal offices, at the Canal-wharf, in this city, were discovered to be on fire. About one o'clock the flames had attained their greatest height: the roof fell in with a terrific crash, and the fiery elements illuminated the city and surrounding district. In consequence of the wind blowing very strong at the time from the north-west, the pieces of burning wood were carried up in the air and fell on the houses of the residents in King street, Northgate-street, &c., to the great alarm of the inha bitants. There was a large quantity of timber in the yard adjoining the mill, but this was fortunately preserved by the rain falling heavily at the time, and the large quantity of water thrown on it by the engines. In a very short time atter the fire was discovered, the fire brigade, under the di rection of Mr. Hill, were on the spot. As they had abun dance of water close at hand from the canal, they completely succeeded, in extinguishing the burning embers of the wood. The fire broke out in the first story of the mill, but whether it was the work of an incendiary or not we cannot at present learn ; yet it appears somewhat strange, as there had been no fire lighted on the premises from twelve o'clock yesterday. The damage done is considerable, but the exact amount cannot be ascertained at present. The premises and stock are, it is sad, fully insured.
