The Senate has also requested the Prussian Government to adopt similar restrictive and hostile measures, and it is stated that the city of Breme❑ proposes to follow up the example set by the city of Hamburg. Our cor respondent laments that the British Consul and Vice- Consul at Hamburg should have allowed these mea sures to pass without the most strenuous opposition. ITALY. The Milan Gazette of the 22c1 inst. published the following proclamation, addressed to the inhabitants of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, by M ars h a l Radetzsky, from his head-quarters at Monza, on the 19th inst. : " The result of the recent judicial investigations and several facts which have occurred recently have con vinced me that the parties whose sole object is the overthrow of social order, not content with the misfortunes they have already occasioned, have again secretly planned a scheme for trampling under foot all respect for religion and the laws, and for en dangering the lives and properties of all honourable and peaceable citizens, and for preventing all return of confidence in the Government. As lam responsible to my august Sover e i gn f or the ma i n t e nance of tranquillity and good order in this country, I regard it as a sacred duty to God and my conscience to defend your lives and properties from the unworthy attacks of a party hateful in the sight of God, who hesitate before no means —not even assassination—to accomplish their criusieal ob ject. The force at my disposal is sufific?ent, it is true, for the maintenance of public tranquillity, and for the protection of life and property, and, in fine, for the legal punishment of those who shall endanger public tranquillity, but it is not in my power.to prevent t he ab y ss which is being prepared in darkness. lam confident that the p o pulation par ticipates in my profound horror for the se cre t machi nations of those wretches. It is consequently in the in terest of yourselves and your families that I request you formally to afford me all the assistance in your power in the accomplishment of my duty by wat c hi ng attent i vely the enemies of order, by disapproving of thei r d angerous projects, and if they should nevertheless compromise the public peace by words or ac ti ons, or b y personal offence, to point them out to the severities of justice. lam firmly resolved to put an end to their mysterious and scandalous schemes, and if, contrary to my expectation s , some districts 5h.,11, th roug h weakness, through interest, ' or through wickedness, not support me in my benevolent intentions, and leave the road clear for the enemies of social order, they sh a ll b ear t h e ent i re weight of my severity. I should be in that case compelled (and it is for that reason I warn you) to render the entire district reponsible, and force it to contribute effectually to the arrest of the guilty and of their accomplices. Being con vinced, moreover, that martial law is not disagreeable to good and peaceable citizens, I have resolved to recall all the relaxations I hid introduced, and I again declare that my proclamation of the 10th March, 1849, is in full I force."

A PARK AT FINSBURY. Mr. WAKLEY asked the Chief Commissioner o, Woods wheth er . measures were i n p rogress , w ith a view to comply with the wishes expressed in numerous me morials from inhabitants of the borough of Finsbury and city of London, for the formation of a park at the north east part of the metropolis? Lord J. RUSSELL said he still hoped that they would be able to carry out the measures which had al ready been taken to create a park in Finsbury. In answer to a question from Colonel LINDSAY, Lord SEYMOUR said he had no objection to lay on the table o f thealouse the report of the architect on the sewers lately constructed in Westminster. Mr. V. SMITH gave notice that ho should, early next session, move for a Committee of the whole House to take into consideration the best method of repealing all the oaths taken by Members, with the exception of the oath of a llegiance.—(Hear, hear.) In answer to a question from Mr. C. ANSTEY, Mr. J. PARKER said the Admiralty were not in pos session of any information to confirm the report con tained in the newspapers relative to Sir J. Franklin. Bradley placed his eyes sternly on this witness when she was giving her evidence, as if to intimidate her. Several other witnesses were examined, one of whom spoke to seeing Bradley and Joseph Middleton together at a public-house at Alderley, the morning after the rob bery, when Bradley took from his waistcoat pocket a watch like that produced, to tell his companion the time. The prisoners were all committed for trial at the as sizes; but there are other charges against Bradley —one of them being a charge of robbing a master silk-throwster of his watch in the public road; and another, a charge of stealing from a farm-house on the morning after the bur glary above described. INVALIDED SEAMEN AND MARINES. Admiralty, July 10, 1851. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, taking into consideration the inconvenience and expense to which the invalid seamen and marines of the fleet are subject, in consequence of their being obliged to proceed from the outports to London, for the purpose of being examined with reference to their claims to pensions.:have directed that the following regulations on this subject be fur the future observed, the same to take effect on and after the let of August next:- 1. When a seaman or marine, serving on board of any of her Majesty's ships, is found upon survey to be no longer fit for her Majesty's service, he is, when invalided for injuries, to be provided, if entitled to it, with the usual hurt certificate. When invalided for disease, the captain is to direct him to be furnished with a sealed document (signed by the surgeon and countersigned by the captain), containing a brief abstract of his case, showing the na ture of the disease, whether caused by the service or not: and whether the man was of sober habits, or other wise. This document is to be presented by the invalid to the officers, by whom he will be examined in Eng land, in order that they may be in full possession of the fall particulars of hie case. 2, Seamen or marines who are claimants for pensions under the above circumstances will be examined at the Royal Hospital at Gosport or Plymouth, or at the dock yards of Woolwich oe Ctiatham, as may be most conve nient to them, on the first and third Wednesdays in each month at ten A.m., on which days only invalids are to present themselves for such examination. 3. The surveying officers at Gosport or Plymouth will consist of the superintendent of the hospital, assisted by the senior medical officer of the same, and at Woolwich or Chatham of the superintendent of the dockyard with the senior medical officer of the Marine infirmary. In the event of the superintendent being absent on duty, or other cause, the senior of her Majesty's ships and vessels present is to be directed to perform the superintendent's duty. 4. Seamen who are sent home in merchant vessels, and who arri►e at any ports in the United Kingdom other than those above mentioned, may be surveyed at Gosport, Plymouth, Woolwich, or Chatham, or in Lon• don (at Somerset House), if more convenient to them. The days for surveys at Somerset House are the first and third Thursdays in each month. Marines sent home from abroad must join their bead-quarters, and they will be afterwards examined in the same manner as seamen. 5. Seamen who may be serving in any of her Majesty's ships and who are claimants for pensions, on the ground of their having completed 21 years' service, are to apply for their pensions through their respective captains. Those who have been paid off with similar length of service are to apply for their pensions, by letter, to the Secretary of the Admiralty. In both cases the parch ment certificates must be forwarded with their applica tion, when their claims will be investigated. Marines with 21 years' service must likewise send up their cer tificates of discharge from the corps. By command of their Lordships, J. PARKER. SLAVERY ESCAPED.-"TOOK HER FREEDOM. The following facts are related in Frederick Douglass' paper.-- • " A slaveholder, accompanied by his wife and children, and having with him a female " chattel," was spending a few days at Niagara Falls. Wishsng to have a view of the magnificent cataract from the British side, he ventered upon the dangerous expedient of taking his chattel, in company with his family, on British soil. By some strange, if not inscrutable agency, whether the birds of the air, or the grass be neath her feet, whispered it, we known not, the chattel became aware that she no longer breathed the free air of the model republic; a secret which she kept, with singular wisdom, until the time for action arrived. Her master, desirous to visit the battle-ground, and to see the very spot " where the Yankees flogged the Eng lish," dismissed his family, accompanied by the chattel, to the American side, while he gaud on Brock's monu ment and other famous sites in that vicinity. The slave safely deposited the family, it seems, at the Cataract. This done, she made her way to the ferry, took the small boat, and a few noble strokes of the ferry man's oar brought her in safety over the turbid waters to the Canada shores. She speedily made her way to the door of a respectable coloured man, where she was immediately received, sheltered, and protected. The master soon obtained information of her flight, and as certain her new abode; and demanded an interview with her. The woman very wisely preferred that the inter vie•.v should be held with a partition between, he upon the ground beneath, she at the window above. Slave• holder—" Jane, what has prompted you to this behaviour?" Chottel—" I wanted my freedom, sir." Slaveholder—" Have I not always treated you well? What should induce you now to leave me?" Chattel— " I want to be free, sir." Slaveholder—" Come, Jane, none of this foolishness ; you must go back with me, and you might as well go back at first as last, for go back you shall." Chattel—" Well, indeed, I aint going back; that's a fact." Slaveholder—" What do you think will become of your children?" Chattel—" What will you do with my children? God only knows. I 'spect you'll do with 'em just what you have done with my other children, sell 'em. My going back won't make no difference ; and I aint going back." Finding the woman wholly intractable, the slavehulder now he gan to curse and rave like a madman. He cursed the abolitionists, he cursed Canada, he cursed the British, and finally he cursed the Queen. The crowd that stood around listened patiently to his cursing until he cursed the British Queen, when a burly Englishman stepped up and, suiting the action to the word, said to the slave holder, " Say that again, and I'll knock your teeth down your throat." It was fitly spoken, and worked like a charm. The slaveholder, thinking discretion the better part of valour, smothered his rage and shrank away from the crowd amid jeers of derision, leaving his chattel in the uncontested enjoyment of the rights and dignity of virtuous womanhood. THE FRENCH IN ROME. The Pope has communicated "confidentially" to the Austrian Government his views of the French occupa tion of Rome; and the l'ilote de Londres, a French jour nal, published in London and edited by the daughter of Madame Tallien, has published the text of that document. Where the child of la, Princesse de Chi may could have obtained this document is not stated; but it bears about it the evidence of authenticity. The Pope places his acceptance of the French garrison in Rome. therefore, on the ground of an "imperious necessity;" speaks of the future as an abyss into which he cannot look without a feeling of horror, on whichever side it may be viewed; and proposes the substitution without delay of an Austrian corps for the French in his capital. ,‘ It will be requisite," observes the writer, " that before the approach of the fatal day, imposing bodies of Aus trian troops shall suddenly advance from two sides o❑ Rome, menacing the French garrison, and at the same time cutting off their retreat from Civita Vecchia." In conclusion, the Holy Father, or his interpreter, demands, in rather an insolent key, why the British Government hag not expelled the Italian refugees--more particularly the Italian committee, now, he says, sitting in London. How the French nation will relish the gratitude of the Pope for replacing him on his " seven hills," remains to be seen; but as regards Great Britain, there is no doubt that the Pope will " take nothing by his motion." There is a curious admission in one part of this docu ment which goes expressly to say, that " The great ma jority of the Roman people is radically corrupted (that is, anti• Papal, we presume) and incapable (query un willing ?) of rendering to his own government the least support." Truly, this is a very flattering account of his subjects, given from authority by him who ought to be the father of his people instead of the Viceroy of Aus tria, whom he unblushingly calls the natural protector of all the states in the Italian Peninsula. In the pre sence of such doctrines as these we seem to be retro grading to the middle ages once more, and exceeding all the nefarious doings of the Holy Alliance. Whether this document be true or false, there are at this moment no means of ascertaining. If it be false, it is curious—to say the least of it; if it be true, it is most important; but be it the one or be it the other, the subject-mater it contains is well worthy of considera tion; for, as the Italians say, Si non e vero o ben trovato— Gia !—Abridged from the Observer. THE SUN, LONDON, MON DAY MR. SALOMONS. The SPEAKER said, before the orders of the day were read, he wished to inform the House that he had received a letter from Mr. Alderman Salomons, inform ing him and the House "that two actions at law had been commenced against him to recover penalties for sitting and voting in that House, as Member for Greenwich, on Monday last, and that any resolution come to by the House would bo used in evidence on the trial of such actions." Sir B. HALL rose to move that the electors of the borough of Greenwich should be heard at the bar of the House in support of the right of Alderman Salomons to take his seat as a Member for that borough. This was a simple resolution, based on stri c t j us ti ce , an d f oun d e d on equity, and he hoped the House would not deprive the electors of what they considered their just rights and pri vileges without allowing them to be heard at the bar. In 1832 the House determined the great importance of the borough by placing it among those in Schedule A which returned two Members of Parliament, and ever since then the borough had exercised that right. One remarkable feature connected with the borough was that, though there had been several contested elections, there was hardly a single instance in which a gentleman not holding liberal opinions had been elected for it. The Hon. Baronet then detailed the cir cumstances under which Alderman Salomons had been returned at the last election, and the subsequent events in reference to his taking the oaths in the House, all of which have been repeatedly brought before the public. Alluding to the differences between the legal authorities he thought the resolution of last year was most ill-advisedly passed, and he hoped the Noble Lord would not put another such resolution upon the paper, because the time would come when they would be forced to rescind it.—(Hear, hear.) The House had a precedent for rescinding the re solution of last year in the case of Mr. Wilkes. Hon. Members were no doubt familiar with the circumstances of that case. Mr. Wilkes was elected for Middlesex, but as he had published a libel upon the King, and an immoral essay upon woman, he was expelled the House. At the next election, however, Mr. Wilkes was again returned, but upon petition his opponent was seated, and then followed a contest between the House and the constituency of Middlesex, which strongly resembled the contest that was now going on in reference to Greenwich. The result of that contest was that the House was com pelled eventually to rescind its resolution, and allow Mr. Wilkes once more to take his seat. Now the petitioners, whose case he was now advocating, urged upon the House the fact that the Member was under no legal disability whatever which could prevent his sitting in the House. The Noble Lord at the head of the Government was very fond of precedents before adopting any particular course in reference to eases of this nature. Well, then, he should have them. There were the two cases in the city where Alderman Salomons was twice elected to an aldermanio gown, but the Court of Aldermen refused to let him take his seat; and, in the first instance, Alderman Humphery, and in the second Alderman Moon were seated instead of him. The Court of Alderman, how ever, afterwards rescinded their resolution against Jews, and allowed Alderman Salomons at a subsequent elec tion to take his seat. Now, why could not the Noble Lord follow the example of that now reformed corporation. Ho saw no reason against it, but many reasons in its favour, and in order, as a preliminary step towards giving the Noble Lord an opportunity of retracing his steps, he would move that the electors of Greenwich be beard by counsel at the bar in support of the claim of their Mem ber to be allowed to take his seat. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL did not think that any further light could be shed on the subject by taking the course suggested by the lion. Member, and he thought it would be a waste of time if they went fur ther. The cases which had been quoted by the Hon. Member were not analogous; and the Hon. Member had studiously refrained from giving the House any tangible reason for hearing counsel. Mr. ANSTEY was astonished at the course taken by the Attorney-- General. If the petitioners had attempted to afford additional information, they would instantly have been charged with a breach of privilege for al luding to proceedings in a former debate of that House. In his opinion, one well-considered speech of a Learned Counsel would afford greater information to the House on the subject than twenty speeches of Hon. Members. (LEFT SPEAKING.) APPREHENSION of the CHESHIRE BURGLARS. The daring robbers who attacked the house of Mr. R. Hine, a QuL.ker gentleman at Hockley, near Macclesfield, have all been apprehended, and on Saturday were brought before the county magistrates at Macclesfield for exami nation. The leader cf the gang, Jonathan Bradley, was taken in Congleton, at the shop of Mr. Drakeford, watch maker, to whom he offered Mr. Richard Edmund Hine's gold watch very shortly after that gentleman had re ceived a placard from the police, describing the rob ber). Mr. Drakeford at once gave this man in charge, and the county police in the course of the following day discovered and apprehended his accomplices. The names of these men are Jacob Dean, James Middle ton, .Joseph Middleton, and Thomas Ridgeway. Hay jug been placed at the bar of the police court, the first witness called was Mr. Richard Hine, sen., who described the attack on his house on the morning of the 16th instant by men who, when he opened his front bedroom window, demanded the money and other valu ables in the house, presenting a pistol at him as he re monstrated. He afterwards saw them at the back of the house break open the back door, and his daughter having been down stairs and told him one of the panels of an inner door had been burst out, he advised his son to give the robbers his watch if they would con sen t to go away. At th e c l o s e of his examination he was asked it he could identify any of the prisoners, and they were ordered to put on their caps. With this order Bradley complied ver y unw illi ng ly, an d though his be haviour was bold and impudent in court he partly turned trom the witne ss an d averte d hi s f ace . After looking steadily at them for some time, Mr. Hine said he could not speak with certainty to any of them, though he thought the voice of one of them (Bradley, whom he had before known) was familiar to him. They either wore black masks or had their faces blacked. Mr. R. R. Hine, jun., next repeated the account of the attack. He said, finding they were likely soon to suc ceed in forcing the second door, he again presented him self at the back window, and was received with oaths by the leader of the party, who presented his pistol with an oath, and again demanded his money, threatening to take his life. lie asked this man if ho would go away if ho gave bim his gold watch, and he promised that they should; but no sooner had he dropped the watch into one of their hats than the leader ordered two of the party to renew the attempt to force the door, telling one of them with an oath he would run a knife into him if he was long about it. Witness demanded what further they wanted, and the leader said they must yet have his money. Reminding them of their broken promises, be dropped six to ten shillings into their hate. They then retired, the leader observing that they might think themselves "d —d well (a" The prisoner Jonathan B ra dl ey , t o t h e b est of his belief, was th e l ea d er , w h o t w i ce th reatene d to stab his men if they did not " do their duty;" and the two Mid dletons were the men who broke open the back door. He had a better opportunity of observing them than the others, be cause they both held their hats up under the window for the watch, and also for the money, and their faces were then turned upwards close under the window. The other prisoners he believed also to be of the party. Mr. SwaNyvrea, the c h a i rman of the bench, asked the prisoners if they wished to put any questions to the witness? J ames Middleton—l wish he had told a little more truth. Bradley—You said I threatened to run a knife into you if you did not give me your watch, H ow was I to do that, if you were at the bedroom window? James Middleton—l wish to ask if me and my brother were the parties breaking open the door? Mr. H. E. Hine—To the best of my belief you were. The prisoner—To the best of your belief ! Are you sore ? w h er e o n " I pli w a a M b i d e a l e k t i o n n g — o p i i e a n d I one of H yo in u e h — ad iro a u cr a o n w d . y b o ar u ! brother were together, a n d J oseph Middl e t on —H 9 sa id , gent l emen , we both of us the daor? anything in my h and had something in our hands.

It was a good custom of chivalrous days, and it is still observed by brave men who fight under respectively hos tile banners, to do honour to an adversary who had dealt his blows as became an honest man. In the hour of victory, the triumphant champion complimented the vanquished on his valour. In the hour of death, the survivors did full justice to the enemy whose arm could no longer wield a trenchant blade. Wo adopt with alacrity this example set us by belted knights and gal lant soldiers, while we announce with regret the demise of one who, for being a servant of the Pope, was not the less true hearted an Englishman; and who, in support ing a cause which ho considered worthy of support, never stooped to mendacity in order to strengthen it. Whatever his opinions may have been, he maintained them with the spirit of a Christian gentleman. He neither stooped to recommend violence by faintly dis praising it, nor instigated to the assassination of those in high places by denouncing them as enemies of GA and of his alleged vicar upon earth. If he felt strongly, he also felt, spoke, and act fairly. His very impartiality, perhaps, was the cause of the little honour paid him by his merely political co-religionists. But, be this as it may, his name and reputation belong now to all Englishmen in common. We should as little think now, even in our character of Churchmen, of de ncuncing the late Dr. Lingard for his particular opinions, as we should, in our position as Royalists, of casting dirt upon Milton for his Republicanism. Over the grave of a worthy antagonist we h a v e no d e sire to hold in me mory anything but his virtues. If all living Papists, who survive to carry on the warfare of the Court of Rome against the Queen and our Church, were to follow the example bequeathed to them by Dr. Lingard, there would be more respect for them than they can now lay claim to. He cared f or no b oon b ut t h at w hi c h t h e British constitution, jealo us f or the h ealthy freedom o f all, willingly awarded. To obtain more lie would not have descended to suggest to the ear of fanaticism that there were 'Mlle crimes in the world th'n the EVENING, JULY 28, 1851 mere slaying a heretical sovereign. He was not the man to write mock sentiment about his " beloved Sove reign," and put forth anonymous treason betraying a heart that would rejoice in that Sovereign's assassina tion. He was English-born and English-bred; and, whatever political Papists may think of him, there is not a true Englishman living who would refuse to do justice to the venerable Romanist who now sleeps within the grave at St. Cuthbert', College, Ushaw.—Church and State Gazette. died from injuries received by it on the head, producing congestion of blood on the brain, and from a cut in the side extending from the breast bone to the spine, which had been made during life. Convulsions would produce the same appearances of congestion. On the 7th of March the prisoner was apprehended on this charge, and she then stated that she had not had a child at Skir laugh ; that when she left the workhouse with her child she brought it to her parent's house, where it died, and that it was buried at Sutton on the sth of February. On inquiry this was found not to be true, the child found in the ditch was in a decomposed state, and ap peared to be about five weeks old, and was a female child. There was no proof of the identity of the child found with the prisoner's child beyond the circumstances. For the defence it was contended that the identity of the child found had not been established; and, oven if it had, the appearances it presented were such as might be accounted for in a child which had died of convulsions; that convulsions might have been produced by cold in a child so young, and that the cut in the side might have been done with the spade of the man who, in cleaning ont the ditch, found the child. His LORDSHIP directed the jury to be satisfied first as to the proof of the identity of the child. If that were not established the charge entirely failed. Secondly, if satisfied as to that, they must consider whether or no in their opinion the charge was made out that the child had died from the violence the prisoner inflicted upon Hts Lordship then went carefully through the evi dence, directing the jury, if they had any reasonable doubt as to the effect of it, to give the prisoner the be nefit of it. The jury, after a short absence, found the prisoner Not Guilty. George Crabtree was indicted for perjury committed at the last Yyrk assizes. Mr. Pickering and Mr. Hardy prosecuted, and Mr. Overend and Mr. West defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner livid at Burley-wood head, near Bingley, and a man named Cooper lived at Bingley. In September last a man named Smith had lent Cooper some woolcombs, and he went to Cooper's house to get them back. On going into a chamber in Cooper's house to get these combs he saw seven parcels of wool-tops lying there, which excite d his suspicion. He eccordingly gave information to the inspectors ap pointed under the Worsted Act (an Act passed to p. e vent the purloining of wool intrusted to workmen to work up, and giving extensive posers of search). On this information, Smith and a man named Cheese• borough watched Cooper's house on the night of the 24th of September, and Cooper was seen to leave his house at two o'clock in the morning, and was followed to Burley•wood-head, eight miles off, where he was seen to enter the prisoner's house, at four in the morning, with a bundle. He left the prisoner's house in about ten minutes, the prisoner first coming to the door and looking about, saying, " It is all right, there is nobody about." When Cooper left, he had an empty sack with him. On his way to Burley wood-head the prisoner was met by several persons who knew him and spoke to him, and he was seen to go back to his own house about six o'clock in the morning. On this information being given to the police, the prisoner's house was searched, and in it were found seven tops of wool, which Smith subsequently swore, on an informa tion preferred under the Worsted Act, were the same tops he had seen in Cooper's house. For this evidence Smith was indicted for perjury, for having stated he had seen Cooper go to the prisoner's house on the morning of the 24th of September, as stated; and the prisoner on the trial of that indictment swore that he bad not been up in the course of that night, and that he had heard no noise at his house until the constables came at six o'clock, and that he had not received any wool of any kind from any one that night, and that he did not at that time know Cooper, and had never seen him, nor had Cooper brought him any tops. For giving this evidence the prisoner was now indicted, and witnesses were called to corrobo rate Smith's statement that Cooper had been seen to en ter his (prisoner's) house on the night in question with a bundle, as stated. Many of these witnesses, on cross examination, appeared to be of indifferent character, having been in Wakefield House of Correction, and as to some of the facts deposed to there was only oath against oath. Mr. OVEREND having addressed the jury for the pri. Boner in an able speech , _ His LORDSHIP summed up, carefully going through the evidence. The jury, after a short absence, found the prisoner No Guilty. _ . July 26. Mr. Justice Williams satin the Crown Court at eight o'clock this morning. Joseph Cliff was indicted for wilful and corrupt per jury, before the Bankruptcy Commissioner for the Leeds district, at Leeds, on the 12th of June last. Mr. Overend and Mr. Campbell Foster prosecuted, and Mr. Hardy and Mr. Shaw defended the prisoner. It appeared, from the opening statement of the counsel for the prosecution, that the defendant, who was in part nership with his brother's widow, carried on business with her at Bradford as a brass and iron. founder, under the firm of " J. and J. Cliff," and that previously to last April, this firm had had extensive business transactions with a Mr. Thomas Dixon, an iron merchant at Brad ford. Mr. Dixon becoming insolvent, it became neces sary to call a meeting of his creditors on the 16th of 1a.4 April, at which the defendant attended. At that time Dixon owed to the firm of J. and J. Cliff 2501.15. 11d. for goods sold and delivered, as a security for which they held a dishonoured bill for 3001. Thsy had also been paid by Dixon another bill fir 3421. 7s. 4d., not then at maturity. It also appeared that they held a third bill, drawn by Dixon on Messrs. Rangeley and Wright, of Sheffield, and accepted by them, and en dorsed to the firm of J. and J. Cliff by Dixon, in part payment of his account. At the meeting of Dixon's creditors, it was agreed that Dixon should make an as signment of all his goods and effects to assignees for the benefit of his creditors, and the defendant assented to that assignment. The deed of assignment was after wards duly executed, but, within the time allowed by law the defendant presented a petition praying for an adjudication of bankruptcy against Dixon on this act of bankruptcy. In his affidavit verifying his petition be swore the debt of 3501. 2s. 11d. due to the firm of J. and J. Cliff to be due to himself trading under that firm. This affidavit was alleged to be false, and on this perjury was assigned. On the sth of June last the trading, act of bankruptcy, and petitioning creditor's debt having been proved before the Commissioner, Dixon was adjudged bankrupt, and, at a public sitting of the Court, held on the 12th June at Leeds, the adjudication of bankruptcy was disputed by the bankrupt, on the grounds that the debt sworn to by the prisoner Cliff was not due to him but to him and his partner jointly, and that as to the debt due to the partnership, the prisoner had come in under the assignment. The prisoner then swore be fore the Commissioner that he had no partner, that the debt was due t o hi m a l one , an d that h e only came in under the assignment conditionally that the bill for 3421. 7s. 4d. should be provided for when it arrived at matu rity, but that he had since been compelled to pay it by process out of the court. Both these statements were averred to be false, and on each of them perjury was as signed. On the 4th of July last a sitting was held at the Bankruptcy Court for the proof of debts, and the prisoner then proved his debt to be 3501. 2s. 1 td. for goods sold and delivered, and 3421. 78. 4d. for money paid to meet the bill for that amount; and he then swore that he held no other security for this said debt than the dishonoured bill for 3001. and the bill for 342/.75. 4d. which he had paid. This was alleged to be false, as he then held the bill for 1494 drawn by Dixon on Rao geley, Wright, and Co., then running on, and which he compelled them by process, out of the court, eight days afterwards, to pay, thus getting the dividend on his debt and the 1491. besides. On this statement perjury was also assigned. In support of these various allegations of perjury the proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court were put in, and witnesses were called to prove that at a meeting of Dixon's creditors on the 16th Of April the defendant assented to the assignment of Dixon as a creditor, and that the assignment was afterwards executed, and he was not heard to make any terms that the bill for 342 h then running should be met or he would not come in under the assignment; and that the defendant had held himself out as a partner with Mrs. Cliff. On cross examination these witnesses admitted that the defendant might have made an objection respecting the 3421. bill at the meeting of creditors, and they not hear it, and that an account of the defendant's demand was handed round which mentioned in it this bill. It also appeared that, subsequently, before the Commissioner, Mr. Ca riss, attorney, of Leeds, attended on behalf of the bank rupt, and then objected to the adjudication of bank ruptcy, on the ground that Airs. Cliff was a partner; that Mrs. Cliff was examined and denied the partnership, and he gave up the objection. The bank rupt was then called to prove tnat the bill for 1491. was held by the defendant at the time he was examined before the Commissioner as a security for his debt then sworn to. On cross - examination he admitted that he owed the defendant 2001, in addition to that debt, and that the 1491. bill might hare been held as security fur that 2004 debt. The indictment had been preferred, in the first instance, before the grand jury, and had not been ordered by the magistrates. His LORDSHIP inquired who was the prosecutor in the case? The witness replied that he was. His LORDSHIP—Where did you get the money to pay the costs? I borrowed it. His LORDSHIP said the charge against the defendant appeared to him entirely to fail. Mr. OVEREND said that, after that opinion from his Lordship, he should not feel it his duty to further press the prosecution. The defendant was therefore Acquitted. His LORDSHIP said the prosecution appeared to him to be entirely groundless. This finished the criminal business of the assize. POLICE IN TELLIGEN CE. BOW-STREET. Mr. William Austin, a barrister, was charged with having assaulted Obadiah Bellamy. The complainant is a checktaker at th e concerts of the Sacred Harmonic Society at Exet e r-h a ll. H e was officiating in this capacity at the orchestra gate on Friday evening, when the defendant present himself for admission by a ticket which proved to be the property of Mr. Jenkin, a member, and was not transferable. The complainant explained this circumstance to the defendant, and retained the ticket, with the view of laying it befo re the committee, as was usual w h en any suc h i rregu larities occurred. The defendant was not satisfied with the ex- 1 planation given, and d eman d e d t h e return o f his friend's ticket, but he was told that it could not be delivers back to him, as Mr. Jenkin was aware that the members tickets were untransferable. The defendant became ex tremely violent, and wrenched the ticket from Mr. Be , . lamy's hand, upon which he inflicted a severe laceration by the process. He then ran off, but was stopped by a constable and conducted back to the office of the com mittee. Here he was informed that the complainant had merely discharged his duty, but that he was willing to take no further steps in the matter, if as apology was given. The &fondant refused to apologizo, and was con,eqm ntly given into cusi'.c!iy upon the prebelic chgrge of assault. Mr. el . .tikin explained that ha had authorised his friend Mr. Austin to take one of two tickets from an envelope at his residebce, and that he had accidentally taken the wrong one, Mr. Ricardo, a friend of the defendant, was about to convince his worship of the defendant's respectability, when Mr. HALL declared that he (mild show no respect to persons, and would not be influenned by such evidence. The defendant had acted with unpardonable violence and obstinacy, and must pay, as he deserved to pay, the fullest penalty that he was enabled to it..flict. His wor ship then fined the defendant el., which was instantly paid. MARYLEBOIVE. Richard Richards, living at No. 3 Weir's , passage, Somers-town, was charged before Mr. Long with having stolen birds of Paradise and ostrich and other feathers to the value of upwards of 2001., the property of Mr. Ad cock, plumassier, Prince's -street, Cavendish-square. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Adcock, that on the night of the Bth ult., about ten o'clock, he locked up a house adjoining, and, in fact, forming part of his business premises; and on the morning of Monday. the 10th ult., at seven o'clock, he found an entry had been effected, and the above valuable pro perty carried off from the room in which it bad been de posited. On the floor of the room a dark lantern was found, and it was clear there had been no forcing, and that entrance must have been made with a false key. About a fortnight atter he received an anonymous letter, ad vising him to offer a reward for the recovery of the property. From some information that Mr. Adcock had received from Mr. Elving, commission agent, 9. Duke• street, Grosvenor-square, he went with that gen tlem,n and Inspector Jackson, D division, to the pit soner's lodgings to see a quantity of feathers the pri soner had offered to sell Mr. Elving (on the intro duction of a person named Scott), and for the apparent purpose of purchasing them, if approved of. The prisor-er, without hesitation, showed them, and they found 26 bird of Paradise feathers. The prisoner, askeel 604 for them ; and Mr. Adcock, being satisfied that they were a portion of those stolen, gave him into custody. R. mind dto Saturday next. W ORS HIP-S 7 REET. _ _ _ John Hackett, an active, powerful young man, de scribed b, the polio• as beirg the brother of the notori. us Wiltiam Hackett, wrose adroit escape from the Pentonville Model Prison excited so much public atten tion about six or eight months ago, was placed at the bar before Mr. Ilttmwil, charged upon suspicion of having been concerned with others not in custody in stealing three bales of silk or the value of 1131., the nominal pro perty of Mr. John Pope, a lighterm ,n and carrier, ice Harp-lane, Fenchutch-stri- et. It we, intimated by Sergeant Teakle, who appre hended the prisoner, aid deserved great en dit for his adroitness and determination, that it au opportunity were given him he should be able on a future occasio❑ to ad duce evidence of a very conclusive character to fix the charge upon the accused, and he was ordered to be brought up again in a week. - CLERKENWELL. The neighbourhood of Islington and Hornsey was painfully excited on Saturday, in consequence of a re port that a young lady had been outraged in a barbarous manner by a villain who had attempted her life in Horn sey-wood, and that he had been apprehended and lodged in the station-house of the district, and was to be exa mined before the magistrate of Clerkenwell-court. Long before the opening of the justice-room crowds had collected in the vicinity, and when the prisoner was brought in it was instantly excessively crowded. The accused, a well-dressed fellow, stated his name to be James Noble, otherwise Thomas Spurrier, and the prosecutrix, was Miss Saran Elizabeth Brown, 18 years old, of No. 6, Annett's• place, Bali's pond. She seemed terrorstricken and nearly fainted away. On being sworn she deposed that she was on a visit to her sister, and on the previous afternoon she took a walk in Hornsey- wood, where she observed the prisoner with another man. She lost sight of them for some time, when suddenly the accused emerged from a thicket behind her, and gave her a violent blow under the right ear, which caused her to stagger, and, on turn ing round, he gave her another blow on the left eye, which caused her to fall. The rufa❑ then threw him self upon her, with his knees on her stomach, and, holding her tightly by the throat by one hand, struck her several violent blows on the face and other parts of her person, from which blood flowed abundantly. She screamed, and called out " Murder," the prisoner all the time endeavouring to raise her clothes and conducting himself otherwise in a manner not fit for publication, She effectually resisted his base design, although he pulled out a knife and attempted to cut her throat, saying he would have her d-- head off unless she con sented to his doing what he liked with her. Her cries at length brought assistance, and the prisoner, after a most desperate resistance, was eventually captured. Reesby, a butcher, said he was attracted by cries of " Murder," and screams. He found the prisoner and prosecutrix struggling on the ground. The accused, on seeing him, endeavoured to escape, but was laid hold of by witness, when a most terrible struggle ensued be tween them, the prisoner catching hold of his necker chief and attempting to strangle him, which no doubt he would have done, as he (witness) became taint and exhausted, when luckily a young [aim named 'Moseley came to his rescue, and they kept him down until the arrival of a pulice•constable, the prisoner struggling desperately and wounding them with a knife. Mr. Moseley and the officer, having given corrobora tive evidence, the prosecutrix was recalled, and, in an ewer to the magistrate, said, that before the thrnstable came up, she saw the prisoner throw tha knife into the wood. It was a white-handled one, silver mounted. She was cer: ain she must have been murdered had it not been for the brave and courageous conduct of the witnesses. The prisoner kicked and beat her in a most awful man ner, and she was suffering very much, and under medical treatment. A certificate was here handed to the magistrate, bear ing the signature of a surgeon, who described the prose cuirix to have been grievously maltreated, and that it would be a long time before she could recover, as her system had received a ♦ery severe shock indeed. While giving her evidence she was deeply affected, and several times burst into tears. The witnpsses who secured the prisoner said, that when he found out that further resistance was of no use, he offered them all the money he had about him to allow him to escap , , and because they refused, called them vile names, ♦owing he would some day or other be the death of them. The prisoner, on being called on for his defence, coolly said—" I deny having had or thrown away a knife, and I shall say no more." He was fully committed to Newgate for trial, and the witnesses were bound over to prosecute. The magistrate highly complimented the young men Reesby and Moseley for their brave and humane inter ference. They were deserving of a reward, and he pre sented each of them with 10s. They thanked the Court, observing they had only done their duty, and were happy to have had it in their power. The prisoner wag then removed to Newgate, and Miss Brown, with her sister, was conveyed home in a cab. TH. E COUNTRY MARKETS. LAY !meow, JULY 25.—T0-day prices are firm, but remain unchanged. MANCHESTER, JULY 26.—During the week the weather for the most part was showery and unsettled, with a rather cool temperature. The trade since our last report has under gone little or no change, the demand for all articles being on a very limited scale, and on flour buyers have had the turn of prices in their favour. From Ireland and our own coast the arrivals into Liverpool and Runcorn are extremely light, and from abroad the imports this week (with the exception of wheat which are to a fair amount) are only to a moderate ex tent. Our market this morning was exceedingly quiet, but in the value of wheat no change was observable. Flour met a very slow sale, and barely supported the previous currency. Oats were likewise rather cheaper, but oatmeal, continuing in very short supply, realised fully late rates. In the neighbourhood of Sudbury the heavy rains have laid extensive breadths of wheat, which are likely to be much in jured by it, and at the market on Thursday this produced much firmness, the farmers being indisposed to sell unless at an ad vanced rate. In Suffolk the markets have been scantily supplied. At Hadleigh scarcely anything but wheat was offered, and the trade for this was dull. At Bury the trade was by no means active, but late quota tions were supported. At Woodbridge inferior qualities declined 6d to is per quarter. Oats were dearer. At Stowmarket on Thursday there Wag a moderate supply of wheat, which was taken off at late quotations. NOTTINGHAM, JULY 26.—During the past week rain has continued almost daily, and but few farmers in the more back ward districts who have their hay down have yet been enabled to lead it, consequently much of it is spoiled. There was a fair supply of wheat from the growers to-day, but the millers bought very cauti ous l y, and last week's prices 'could not be ex ceeded. Grinding barley slow sale at late p rices . Oats were le per quart er l ower, with a very limited d em and. Beans un altered in value. WORCISTER, JULY 26.—Souse heavy rains this week in different part of the country, and high winds have in many places be a t en d own the corn crops, now heavy with the swell ing grain. The rain has been very serviceable in reviving the green crops, but the wheat can do well without moisture until harvest. At our market to-day prices were well supported, although millers purchased with caution. English white wheat sold at 16s to 17s per bag of three bushels ; and red, 15s to 163 per bag. Malting barley in moderate request at 3s 6d to 3s 8d per imperial bushel ; distilling, 3s 4d to 3s 6d. New English beans, 4s 4d to 4s &i per bushel ; old, 4s 8d to 5s per bushel; foreign as before. Old English oats, 3s 6d to 3s 9d per 391 b ; new, 3s 3d to 3s 6d ; and Irish, from 3s to 3s 3d per bushel. Peas sold slowly at from 4s 4d to 4s 6d per bushel. On the whole the market was dull. At Stourbridge and Stratford-on-Avon corn markets on Friday the same dullness was observable, and business was only transacted on a limited scale. At Wolverhampton there was a moderate supply of wheat from the farmers, but millers bought very cautiously; the prices of last week were not exceeded in toy sales. English wheat brought iBs to 18s 6d per bag for white, and 16e to 17s for red, 1961 b net. Barley for grinding in full request, at 26s per 3911 b ; malting qualities little inquired for. Old English beans a dull sale at 13s 6d ; new English, 12s to 12s 6d; and French, 12s per 1961 b Oats were disposed of at rather less money, the rates being, English, 25s to 265; Irish, 2ls to 231 ; and French, 201 to 21, per 3 121 b. At Atherstone there was a fair show of wheat, which met with a fair sale at former prices. Wheat, 17s to 17s cd per bag of three bushels Barley sold at from 27 to 30s per quarter. Oats from 26s to 28s per quarter. GLASGOW CATTLI. 111AHMET, JULY 24.—At our market to-day the numbers were—sheep, 1,923 ; lambs, 5,149 ; oxen, 597. Owing to the large supply of cattle, and the unfavour able state of the weather for slaughtering, sales were very slowly effected at barely last week's prices. Best ox beef brought 4s per cwt, current 425, cows 36s to 403 per cwt. A great many turned out unsold. Sheep moved off slowly at less than last week's prices. Best aged wethers sid, current sd, inferior 4d to 4d per lb; mostly all sold. Lambs sold well —best 21s each, current 12s to 14s, a few Small ones, 7s to tie.

DUBLIN, JULY 25.—We continue to have favourable weather, and a dull market for all descriptions of grain, with out alteration in price. Wheat, white, 22s 6d to 25s 6d; red ditto, 21s 6d to 24s 6d; barley, Os Od to Os Od; oats, per barrel, 12s Od to 13s 6d; rape-seed, 19s to 00s od ; oatmeal, 12s Od to 13s Od ; bakers' flour, per cwt, 12s Od to 14s ; Indian corn, per 480Ib, 27s to 29s 6d. CORK, JULY 25. The trade here remains in a very dull state, and unless bad weather should come to cause an improvement, we see no pro spect of any immediate reaction. We continue to receive supplies of grain from abroad.—The receipts •f home grain, however, are very trifling, the supply for the week being, of wheat 6 barrels, oats 423 barrels. The business passing in wheat is on the :most retail scale, but we have no change to notice in prices. Some small transactions have taken place in oats at late rates. The tendency, however, is to lower prices. The trade in flour continues very dull, and it is difficult to make sales of the article, except where the wants of the bakers com pel them to become purchasers. Even then, too, they confine themselves to the supply of their more pressing necessities. We observe no change in the value of the article, but, as with oats, the tendency is downwards. Indian corn, owing to the liberal supply of good potatoes, is in very little demand, aad the must quote the article a very dull sale at declining rates.

WANDSWORTH COUXTY COURT. On Saturday, at this court, the Rev. Mr. Caton, of Bryanstone-square, brought an action against Mr. Car penter, proprietor of the Balloon Tea Gardens, Batter sea, to recover the sum of 451., the alleged value of a horse the property of the plaintiff, which was stated to have died from wounds received from a collision with the defendant's pony chaise in Leicester-square, on tha 28to of May last. The plaintiff said he was driving his cab through Leicester-square at the rate of six or seven miles an hour, when the defendant came along on his wrong side, driving at about twelve miles a❑ hour, and before it wss possible for him to get out of the way, the shaft of the defendant's chaise cart came against his horse's chest, and wounded it so seriously that it died in a few days. He had given 55r. for the animal. The evidence for the defence was that the detendant and a friend were driving to a house in Leicester-square, where they had business; that the defendant was drawing up at the house, and behind a cart, which was before the door; that he was not at the time going more than one mile and a half an hour when the plaintiff drove against his chaise, injured his pony. and materially damaged the chaise. He asked plaintiff for his name, when the plaintiff said it was purely an accident, and could not be helped. This evidence was corroborated by the defendant's friend, and a policeman who was passing. The jury, having delibera'ed for about half an hour, returned a verdict for the defendants. An application was made for a new trial, on the gr-und that the verdict was contrary to the evidence. The judge refused the application, stating that it was a very proper verdict, and, had there been no jury, his decision would have been the same. DEPARTURE OF THE SCREW STEAM-SHIP CITY OF MANCHESTER ON lIER FIRST VOYAGE TO PIIIZADELPIIIA The splendid new screw steam-ship City of Manchester, W. 0. Campbell, commander, sailed hence on Saturday morning, on her first voyage to Philadelphia. She left her dock on Friday evening, shortly after sevnn o'clock, came to an anchor until the ensuing morning off the Magazines, and at 6 A.M. weighed anchor and proceeded to sea; arriving off the Bell Buoy at 7 15, A.M, having run the distance, against a flood tide, in an hour and twenty minutes. She carried no fewer than 179 passengers, with a fair cargo of fine goods, and in this respect, at least, her first trip cannot but be regarded as most successful. She is the largest screw steam-ship now sailing out of the port of Liverpool, and will doubtless make a quick run out to the United States. The City of Man chester lay in the Nelson Dock, and had several hundred visitors, by whom she was greatly admired.—Liverpool Albion. UTILITY OF THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.-013 Sa• turday a striking incident occurred illustrative i.f the superi ority of the electric telegraph over the semaphore system which heretofore formed the sole means of communication be tween the Mersey and Holyhead. Shortly before five o'clock, about 4.45 P. at., the Royal Mail steam-ship Africa, whose arrival was anxiously expected, arrived off the Head ; and in ten minutes, although the Electric Telegraph officers' quarters at Holyhead are far remote from the mountain whereon the semaphore stands, and not in a situation to enable them to ob serve ships for themselves, the announcement was posted in the Exchange-newsroom in Liverpool ; having traversed a circuit ous route vid Chester and Crewe. Some ime elapsed ere the marine telegraph dispatched its report to the rooms. Several instances have also recently occurred in which, whilst the marine telegraph has been rendered valueless by fogs and mists, &c., the electric wires have kept the frequenters of the 'Change au courant on nautical poiuts.—Liverpool Albion. The Marquis of Lansdowne left town on Saturday for the residence of the Hon. J. Howard, near Newbury. Lieutenant. General the Right Hon. Sir Edward Blake ney, G.C.B. and G.C.H., commanding the forces in Ireland, has left Dublin for England on leave of absence. SEABORNE MAILS.

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice Wu.eta)es The following case was tried last night:— William Hodgson was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury at Leeds before the Bankrupt Commissioner for the Leeds district on the 25th of April last. Mr. Hardy and Mr. West appeared for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Pickering defended the prisoner. It appeared that previous to last December the prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Joshua Unwin, stuff manufacturer of Bradford, who had done business with the firm of Armistead and Co., of Leeds. In the early part of December Unwin absconded to America, being then largely in debt to Armistead and Co., who filed a petition in the Leeds District Bankruptcy Court, praying for an adjudication of bankruptcy against him; and Unwin was duly adjudged bankrupt, Messrs. Armis tead, the petitioning creditors, proving their debt to be 5251. 16s. sd. The bankrupt bad been in the habit of consigning goods to them for sale, drawing upon them for the amount; and a bill of exchange for 2501., purport ing to be drawn upon them by the bankrupt and accepted by them, was indorsed to Mr. Watkinson for value. This bill Watkinson paid away, and nothing more was heard of it until after Unwin had absconded, and it then appeared that the ac ceptance was a forgery, and it was of course dis honoured when it became due. Watkinson then made inquiries of the prisoner about the acceptance, and he said it was Armistead's acceptance, and that it was writ ten by Armistead's clerk. Mr. Watkinson, feeling con vinced that the acceptance was a forgery, and as it ap peared to have been uttered by the prisoner, indicted him at the last assizes for uttering the forged acceptance, on which charge he was acquitted. The prisoner was after wards summoned on the 23d of last April before the Bankruptcy Court for the Leeds district, to give evidence relating to the bankrupt's affairs. He accordingly at tended before the Commissioner, and on being sworn and shown the Bill in question he said he remembered the Bill, and that he had paid it to Mr. Watkinson, on ac count of money owing to him by the bankrupt. The body of the Bill was in his handwriting, and it was signed per procuration on behalf of the bankrupt. The signa ture to the acceptance was in the handwriting of Richard Collett, Messrs. Armistead's clerk. It was signed in the presence of Armistead, with his sanction. It was signed on the 4th of October, at their country house, and pri soner was present when it was signed. The whole of this statement was alleged to be false, and perjury was assigned upon the several allegations, Mr. Armistead and his clerk, Mr. Collett, swearing the whole statement to be untrue. Another Bill, accepted by Collett, was pro duced, and it was contended on behalf of the prisoner that he had made a mistake as to the two transactions, and that the prisoner had no motive or interest whatever to induce him to state that which was tads° in making the statement which he had done, while Si, tsars. Armistead would be absolved from responsibility on the bill if the prisoner were convicted. Witnesses were called who gave the prisoner a good character. His LORDSHIP having summed up at near eleven o'clock last night, the jury, after an absene e of half-an hour, found the prisoner Not Guilty. His LORDSHIP this morning sentenced six prisoners, who had been convicted on different charges of highway robbery, making thirtee❑ in all who have be en convicted of that crime at these assizes, to be severally transported for fifteen years. His LORDSHIP remarked that this crime v vas so pre valent in this county that peaceable people walking about after nightfall appeared to be con tinually in danger of being violently attacked and robbed by two or three ruffians banded together. It was therefore tweets sary, by a severe example, to put a stop to this crime. Sarah Harrison was indicted for the murder of her infant child at Thirtleby, in the East Rh bug, on the 4th of February last. Mr. Dearslcy and Mr. Newton prosecute d, and Mr. Seymour defended the prisoner. It appeared, from the opening of the Lean ied Counsel, and from the testimony of the witnesses ex amined, that the prisoner being pregnant, became an iui nate of the Skirlaugh Union Workhouse, where she was confined of a child on the 14th of January law. On the 4th of Feb. ; following she lett the workhouse early in th e morning, 1 taking the child with her. At noon the pr :loner was met at Brigham's-gate, about a mile from veLich place the body of a child was afterwards found in : t ditch by , the road side. Between three and four in the afternoon the prisoner was at a place called Humbleton, where she I gave to a Mrs. Rayne the clothes which the , ehtld had on when it left the workhouse in the morning in good health. The prisoner then stated to Mrs. Ha) 'n© that her child had died of convulsions on the preview; Wed nesday, and was buried on Friday. On the 4th of March the body of a child was found in a ditch the road between Thirtleby and Coniston. It was extra mined by a augeon, who was of opizi,7n that the (10 had PATENT LAW AMENDMENT.
