LONDON, case of the seaman a sert of demonstration was made by gunboats near where the murder was committel, hut these returned without of anything. The Sultan of Lahedj was called upon to coerce his neighbour of Bir ildmid, who it is supposed was privy to the murder, and to capture the murderers. The former professed his readiness to obey, and pre tended to storm the fort of Bir Hamid. Whatever may have been reported respecting these proceedings, there can be no doubt that there was, as there still is, collusion betwixt these two chiefs. The affair ended in smoke, and the murderer is at large under the fos tering Nitig of the chief of the Foudhli, another tribe inhebiritig this district. With respect to the attack upon Captain Milne's party, it is reported that Government has given the Sultan of Lahedj two or three months to produce the murderer, and threatens ulterior proceedings in case of refusal. In the meantime we bear that the monthly salary allowed to the Sultan of Lahedj, the chief of the Foodhli, and some other island chiefs, has been stopped. Report states that the Sultan of Lahedj has sent hostages for the murderer into Aden, but he knows full well that in our hands these hostages are safe. There can be no doubt, indeed, but that the chief is playing a double part, willingly or unwil lingly, and that he never entertained a serious idea 01 bringing the murderer to justice, even were he able to do so, which he is not. In f , ct, intelligence was brought to Aden that the culprit was seen in the vicinity of his native village tilling his lands after the last rain, which fell about two months ago. It is devoutly to be hoped that now at length some measures will be taken to prevent such outrages in future, for up to this time the most unheard-of lenity has been adopted towards these barbarians. The only semblance of chastisement which has hitherto been exhibited towards them was the gibbeting of the body of the assassin who attempted Lieut. Delisser's life The most salutary eff-ct resulted from that exhi bition • the Arabs from the interior we re humbled and behaved with far greater civility when they came into Aden. But it appears that even this sen tence was condemned by the Government, for an order was immediately sent hither directing the body to be removed. Such are the friendly relations be twixt the Arabs here who become acquainted with the orders of Government and the Arabs of the in terior, that the latter were doubtless soon apprised of this seeming disapproval of what had been done by the local authorities, and the result was to make them more impudent than they had ever been. But if any steps are taken to remedy the existing evils it is to be hoped that our relations with th« Arabs in this neighbourhood will be placed on an en tirely new footing. Unless this is effected no lastini, benefit can be anticipated. An egregious error was committed in the first instance by our exaltation 0- the so•called Sultan of Lahedj. He was recognise( by us as the head of the surrounding tribes, whereas. in fact, he possesses no authority whatever over them and has very litile power over his own tribe. Th , chief of Bir Hamid, it is true, pays him a triflii 4 y early tribute, but in every other respect he is inde. pendent. Tne Foodhlis, instead of being subject r« the Sultan of Lahedj, receives tribute from him, and had the latter beeu able to coerce them surd, he would long ere this have reclaimed the refuge , murderers who are living under the protectio of the Foodhlis, or have punished them for their rebel. Icon. Moreover, if this individual is so well dispose. ()wards us, and posseses so touch influence, why is i teat ire has not seiz:et and punished the a‘sassins the two sailors of the Suns of Commerce, since it he been discovered that the murderers bt-loog to hi tribe, the Abdali, end not to the Foodhh ? There some mystery iu all this, which must be solv-d it qE ►re to be secure and to maintain our proper dignit, in this part ut Arabia. P.S. Tne wreck of the Sons of Ciimmerce has bee, •old by public auction at Alen. Toe principal pur chaser is the chiet Arab resident or this town, a ma, sometimes called upon to decide suits which require a knowledge of Mehotnedan Jaw. The wreck wa knocked down for 2,450 r., and the day after tw. boats (one belonging to the Government acting• in terpreter) went off to the wreck. The Arabs of th• district, well knoaing who had been the purchaser,. received their townsmen of Aden with a hearty wel come. Sheep were slaughtered for their use, and tht united company had a jolly time of it. Moreover the natives of the place adjacent to the wreck gave their companions every assistance in dismantling the vessel, and the two boats returned next day to Aden laden with the spoil. Reflect here how different was the reception given by these villains to the boat's crew of the Elphinstone when she visited the wreck ! Surely if the principal Arabs in Aden, who are en joying our protection, can exert so much influence over their compatriots in the neighbourhood, could their services not have been enlisted to rescue from desecration the corpses of our two unfortunate coun trymen? THE GREAT EXHIBITION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Many thanks to you for your able advocacy of the cause of the Great Exhibition, the good effects of which will be felt long after its revilers are for gotten. _ A morning paper, which desires to be the organ of ,he Protectionist party, stated a short time since that the expenses attending the conversion of the Crystal Palace into a winter garden would be about three times as much as Mr. Paxton showed would be net cessary, and if this error goes forth uncontradicted it may do a great deal of harm. Perhaps you will do me the favour to state in your excellent journal that Messrs. Fox and Henderson offered to gl it z_ round the sides of the Palace, and put the roof in perfect repair, for from 12,000/. to 15,0001., and not 3'2,0001., as stated iu that journal, and to keep it in perfect repair for 21 years at 5 500/. a year, and no 16 0001., which the ingenious writer put down as necessary tor incidental expenses and Mr Paxton, besides 30 0001., which was modestly stated as ne cessary fur pidnte. Toese misstatements show how weak heir cause must be; t qually so, in my humble opinion, are the objections of some few tradesmen of the West E.id, wh., aver that a winter garden will draw the tashionables and the loungers from Regent, street and Bind-street, and then they will not see, and o' course cannot buy, their goods so much, as thongh toy mere confined to the fashionable streets in davit promenades. absurd as this appears, Sir, I assure you it is a fact, this is the beginning and the end of their argument ; they really have nothing else to say, except a few, who, finding such arguments un tenable, reply—" Trade was very bid in the months of April and May, and all you say shall not make ms believe but it was the Exnibition which caused it." Now, Sir, I would ask, are we to he deprived of a winter garden, and that beautiful structure to be pulled down, because a few rich tradesmen (who ought to know better), entertain such silly notions as these ? When towns on the Continent have their Winter Wardens, and our country cousins have determined to build one for their own use, shall it be said that the Londoners, who want a place of this kind more than any others—havirg a building up and ready for such a purpose, and money in hand to pay for it—were so fuelisb as to throw the chance away on such weak grounds as those I have stated, or, indeed, on any others which have been alleged against it ? The Londoners have had the credit of being rather sharp fellows, but if the Crystal Palace be not de votect*to some useful purpose, rely on it we shall not only be laughed at, but our country friends and fo reigners will, as the Times justly observed, think us stark staring mad. A Noble Lord is represented to have said, " al though there had been many petitions presented to Parliament in favour of retaining the building, yet there had not been many from London." I know there are many, like myself, who never thought it necessary, nor never knew where to find one for signature in Westminster, though I saw there was one presented. I maintain that we ought not to be called on to call meetings for the agitation of this subject; this cannot be done without incurring great expense. I subscribed to the building fund, and so did many others, believing that if there were funds sufficient at the close of the Exhibition, they would be devoted to the purchasing of the building for some useful national purpose. It is really too bad, after such great success, to ask us to spend more money for the attainment of this desirable object. Allow me to add, in conclusion, 'that whatever is an attrac tion to London must tend to enrich her citizens ; and the metropolis cannot have an additional palace or museum without its being an object of great interest and an honour to the whole kingdom. Apologising for the length of this letter, I beg leave to subscribe myself, yours respectfully, COMMON SENSE. P.S.—When the Crystal Palace is applied to some useful purpose, would not "National Palace" be a none ? 0 :ly thi n k, Si r, of a citizen a Viefing, er Harnburgh, as ki ng the i r Govern . m pbe e etr n tle t irn t ' o take away their winter garden, because it injured their trade ! ! !

Owing to the suddenness with which the vessel was capsiz:d the Dreadnought was unable to save any of the crew. It is also reported that an hour later is sloop, whilst attempting to run on shore in Bootl. Bay, sank opposite the end of the North Wall, and all bands were drowned. The pleasure and ferry boats plying on the river during the day were greatly dis tressed.

Margaret F! wing was cnarged b tore the rn4gistrati- s in Chester on the 21. t inst. with fearfully mutilating h , r infant son, a child of a year and eght months old. The Woman lives ne-sr the old turnpike in Boaghton, Chester. About noon yesterday the child was o 4nd a little dis tance from her house, apparently suffering the grey es. agony from wounds which is had ieceived. wus con veyed by some ro-ighheirs to Mr. Churtou's, the mothe , having at that time left the house to takr• her htribaoo's dinner.

Mr. Churton had since attended the chi'd, and stated that it was in such a dangerous state that he believed it would not live. A woman who lives next door to the prisoner depose d that about eleven o'clock yesterday morning she heard the child fearfully moaning, and the voice of the mother angrily speaking to also the sound of blows, there being only the prisoner and her child in the house. The prisoner shortly aferwards left the house. The prisoner was remanded. When the wretched women was apprehence I on Tuesday evening it was with great difficulty that Mr. Hill, the superintendent of the Chester police, was enabled to secure her from the public vengeance of her neighbours, and such was her callous and obdurate feeling that she threatened to tear out the eyes of one of her n , ighbours who spoke of her conduct towards her children.

Ther remained but one test more. "13 there as much boldness, courage., honesty, and self- re li ance amongst them as to admit, when prope r ly f urnished with tickets, six hostile individuals —nay, we will make it less —will they admit tour Anglo-Catholics atroink, them? Can they afford to allow four Anglo-Catho lics to tell them to their face that they are usurpers ?" At the risk of our lives we applied the test, and now it stainds as a demonstrated result in the lace of the empire, that in the Irish metropolis the Romanist party cannot, in th e capac i ty o f C at h o li cs, b o ld a p u blic meeting unless it is packed, nor admit an in dividulil amongst them, though furnished with a ticket, unless he is understood to have on him the right mark and number. Mr. Reynolds mistakes. I have had a greater victory than if I bad, with three , thousand men, encoun t ered, his coal-p orters and routed them at another Dully s Brae. The victory is a moral one.

Anii:N, JULY 27.—0 n Sreurday last, the 12 h of Juts , a vsss 1 was sigredised from the fl , gstalf t n Seerah Islend at about 11 A.M. At 2 P.M. the red pennant dud ball were loeer•d, ano her gun wee tired by the lookout { -and the blue ensign reversed, indica tive of a ship in distress, was hoisted. As 6 P. 31. on the same evening the political authorities received notice of this circumstance. At about eight P.M. the authorities received a come municetion from Lieutenant Steward, of her Majes ty's 78 h, commanding at the " Wall," informing them that the captain of an English vessel, lost upon the cods!, had reaehed that post, and earnestly re quested that aesi.tance might be dispatched to the crew, who had disembarked, and were then encamped upon the beach not far from the wreck. The cap tain baying also made known to the officer above named that four of his crew had accompanied him, and were then most probably close to the " Wall," no time was lost ere assistance was sent to them. The four men were accordingly found quite exhausted with their lorg walk, and every attention was ren dered tnein which their circumstances required. At this time there were in harbour the following vessels belonging to the Etst India Company :—The steamers Sesostrie and Ajdaha. the schooner Mahe, and the frigate Elphinetooe. The last received orders to proceed to the wee( katlo r m. She did not sail tilt 7A M. the following day. At 9A et she came to anchor in Back bay, where she retutiued five hours, and did not reach the wreck, only 15 miles to the north-east of Adrn, till half past 5 that evening. At 10 P 31. on Saturday two of the unfortunate crew, who , had been left behind on the beach, reache d the '• Wall,' and communicated the intelligence that the Arabs had attacked them and murdered their chief mate, where uponhem a tbseiyekalmi man n oll h g a h m t e sa d fe m ty u i r n ph fl y ig , h w t, ho l s e e av i i l n li g ies b s eh p i r n e d t. vented hurl from attempting to escape. Several other of the refugees reached Aden in the course of a few hours, and at 1 A.M. on Sunday, under instructions from the local political authorities, a force, consisting of 50 Highlanders and 70 men of the 31 Madras Native Infantry, under the command of Captain Lockhart, and accompanied by Mr. Cruttenden, the Assistant Political, marched beyond the " Wall" and succeeded in picking up a couple of the crew. There were still three men missing, viz., the chief mate, who had been murdered, Murphy, the invalid, and the carpenter. However, it does nut appear to have been the design of those who planned this military sally, that the parry should reach the spot where these men or their bodies might have been found, for after marching the distance of three and a half miles they were ordered to return to Aden. At eleven A.M. on Sunday it was made known to the Highlanders by a Somali fi.herman that an European was ly ing on the beach not far from their barracks. Oa the instant about 50 of their number went out in search of him. They found him well nigh senseless from fatigue and thirst, and both officers and men vied in their efforts to re,tore him. The pour fellow turned out to be the hitherto missing carpenter. I shall now proceed to lay before you the particu lars of the wreck and of the disasters which followed, as they were recounted to me by two of the sufferers. It appeared that the ship, which is called the Sous of Commerce, laden with coals, grounded on Friday ofterno m, the 11th Mg. No blame whatever is attached to the cap'ain for this catastrophe by nautical men here. The weather was very boisterous, and the Sesostria, w hich arrived at Aden on the same day, made the harbour with the greatest difficulty. On: Siturday the captain and crew took to the cutter and launch, bringing away with them what was most valuable in the ship, intending to row to Aden. There was a heavy sea running directly against them, and in a short time the first mare, who commended the launch, made known to he captein his determination to land, alle g ing that unless he did so the sick man, Murphy, who was in the bust with him, would die. To this the captain was opposed, but perceiving that the in its hid Already grounded the launch, he also abandoned nis original idea of making Aden by sea, and landed with the rest of the crew. A temporary shed was , hen erected, and the captain, taking four of the men with him, Marched off towards the town in order to seek assistance. The only weapons they carried with them were a harpoon, two axes, and a bar of iron. l'hey had not proceeded far when they were met by four armed Arabs, mounted on camels, who made as though they would attack them. The sailors, how ever, showed front, and the Arabs passed them a short distance, dismounts 1, and then turned to pursue them. Tney escaped unhurt, and succeeded in reaching the " Wall" in the manner already de scribed. Nut long after the departure of the captain and his party a number of Arabs approached the shed with hostile demonstrations. The mate, fancying, I sup pose, tbat plunder was their object, h e ld o ut hi s wa t c h to them; hereupon he received two gunshot wounds from the assembled Arabs, one of whom then plunged a dagger into his back, and a third ripped up his belly with a similar weapon. This was a signal for the rest to flee, which they did, leaving the sick man, Murphy, under the shed. Several shots were fired at them by their pursuers, one of which grazed the arm and another the hair of the fugitives. Their safe ar rival at Aden, partly that night and partly the follow ing day, has already been narrated. jo complete this account it only remains for me to tell you what was effected by the Elphinstone. On nearing the wreck at 5 P.M. on Sunday many Arabs were seen making their escape from her to the shore. A party was then dispatched by Lieute naut Batt under the command of Lieutenant Lirhguu, to examine the vessel. As many as twelve shots were fired upon the boat's crew by the Arabs. who were assembled on the beach to the number of 400. The following morning another survey was tnede of the wreck, but finding that she was beyond rescue, and that to attempt to dismantle her in a po sition so dangerous and while tt e sea was so boisie tollB would r cis ngf r the lives of his crevv, Lieutenant B ,fr again set sail for Aden. 0 t Sunday evening au Arab was sent out to re • dim the corpse of the mate. On nearing the spot be saw a large number of Arabs collected there, and teemed it safer to return to camp. On the day fol lowing. another messenger was dispatched on a simile' errand, who returned to say that the bodies of the mate and also of Murphy bed been buried. More correct Information, however, was brought into camp Frilay, the 18th, by a number of persons who hail gone out re eurv,-y the wreck previous to bid,ling r)r it at auction, to the effect that the two bodies were lying on the shun-, the toy of the waves and the rood 01 crabs. And here I beg you to observe that it was not until M 'witty that aey noturtnation was received re , pectinig the death of Murphy. He had been lett in the shed by his comrades, who knew nothing certain of N ave. Ott Monday it Ives given out that he was murdered. The day following a report was spread at the Point that he had been brought into camp on a camel. This wined out to be false, 30 I presume that the sick man was murdered, but how soon after the mate, or iu what mintier, is not known with any certainty. Frew the above details of this sad catastrophe th e following reflections must occur to any one who at tentively peruse them. They are noted here, not to animadvert on the conduct of any particular persons —for who is to blame ?—but because they may lead to amendment wherever amendment is called for : Firm', then, observe that the notice of a vessel, signal;zed as in distress, did not reach the political department till four hours afterwards, and then, as we are told, by a fortunate coincidence; that with a fleet of four men-of-war in the harbour no assistance reached the vessel till 24 hours after the intelligence' of the wreck had b een communicated to the local authorities. Secondly—The certain fate of the sick man Mur phy was unknown for two days, and during that time nothing was done to obtain his release, if alive, from the hands of the barbarous Arabs. Thirdly —The dead bodies of our two murdered countrymen were left unburied, without any decided steps having been taken to obtain for them the de cency of burial. Fourthly—All this was done -and suffered within 15 miles of a strong British garrison, consisting of 1,500 men. Of course you are well aware that this is not the first outrage committed by the Arabs of this neigh bourhood upon British life. The catalogue of their murders during the last eighteen months betokens the moat deadly hate to us on their part, and some thing akin to eulpeble lenity on ours, for having hitherto suffered the guilty to escape th- just reward of their crime. The following is a summary of their late aggressions :—. 1. The attack upon a boat belonging to the Hon.

Mr. BAGLEY said that under the 195th clause of the BanktupTcy Consolidition Act the Court was au thorised, where a bankrupt's estate should have paid a dividend amounting to 12s. 61. in the pound, to make an allowance of 7i per cent. npon the assets to the bankrupt. His client, Mr. Neale, was now dead, but he had to mire an application that the 7f per cent. might be paid to his representatives. Mr. CLABON objected, on the grounds that the di vidend had not yet been final, and that the Court hav ing a discretionary power (the certificate of the bank rupt Nab having been of the second class, and that of Neale of the third class), he should prefer the ap plicati, n being adju iicated upon by the Learned Commissioner before whom all the facts of the case had come. His Hosioult said he should decline to adjudicate upon the application without having the whole case brought bef him. There was no question but the Court possessed a discretionary power to reduce the Allowance, the bankrupt's certificate not having been of the first class. Tne application was, consequently, .wdered to stand over until Mr. Commissioner Goal burn should be sitting. On the application of Mr. Duncan, R. Brown, auctioneer, of Old Broad-street, passed his examina tion on accounts showing debts 1,8001, assets 2001. ASSIZE IN TELLIGENCE. NORTHERN ClRCUlT:—Liverpool, Aug. 23. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) Thomas APNally, aged 30, was indicted for having in the 17th of December, 1850, assaulted Michael Pr, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Mr. James prosecuted, and Mr. Tindal Atkinson defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was the second mate )f an eieigrant ship called the Arabia, commanded by Captain W. H. Lowrie, which left Liverpool for New York on the 9th of November, 1850. On the vessel arriving in the Irish Channel, Michael Pye, a man who had been engaged as a stowaway on board, was eatud secreted. He was set to work, and placed in - he chief mate's watch. It appeared that Pye had a naimed band, and that he had great difficulty in going 'loft, and the prisoner was continually bearing him ee l - not properly doing what be was directed to do. On the 17th of December, about tour o'clock in the oorning, Pye was about to leave the mate's watch, vhen the prisoner ordered him to the pump , .aid he was tired, and wan& dto go below. The pri oner then seized a rope, arid beat Pye to the pump. i'ye tried to get hold of the pump-break, when the Asoner struck him on his maimed hand until the Mood came, and Pye, cried out, "Oh God ! I can sear this no longer," and immediately threw himself Overboard, head first, in the water, and was drowned. jeveral seamen correborated 'his evidence. The vessel trerwards procc eded to Charleston, and the witeese eerie a complaint there to the Consul of the prisoner'. reatment of Pr. The Consul, in consequence, yr ote to the authorities at Liverpool, and on the ship's. eturn the present proceedings were instituted against the prisoner. The Learned Counsel for the defence contended hat the evidence would not support the graver barge, and would only support the charge of a com. non assault. His LORDSHIP having summed up, The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, of a com non assault. Sentence was deferred. Joseph Allison was indicted for having wilfully nurdered one Juhn Hunt, at Manchester, on the 30th if April last. Mr. Monk and Mr. Sowler prosecuted, and Mr. T. Atkinson defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner and the deceased were both in the employment of a Mr. Goodwin, a cooper et Manchester, and on the morning of the 30th of April last they were both sent to Staleybridge and Ashton under-Lyne to collect tubs. The deceased had 71. given to him to collect the tubs, and the pri soner also had a little money given to him for beer and expenses. In the course of the day they had collected a quantity of tubs at different places, and were return ing home about nine o'clock. As they were later than usual the wife of the deceased went to meet bim, as aria did the prisoner's wife. The wife of the de ceased met the prisoner and his wife on the Staley bridge-road with his horse and cart, and asked the prisoner where he had left her husband. The pri soner answered, " At the Snipe Inn, where they bad baited their horses, and that it she went on she would overtake him." She accordingly went on, and about belle mile further on she met her husband's horse and cart coming on without him. She shouted for her husband, and, receiving no answer, she took the horse and cart herself to Mr. Goodwin's, and next morning rose at four o'clock to go in search of her husband. She then learnt that he bad been killed during the night, and that his body was then lying at the New Inn, where it had been taken by a man who found it lying in the road. It ap peared the deceased had been found lying dead in the road with his feet towards the kerb, his cap off, and his whip lying beside him. There were no marks of a struggle on the road, but there were some spots of blood, and a shilling was found in the dust. On the body being examined by a surgeon it was fouod to have received great inter nal injury, and four of th e r ib s were b ro k en, and there was a bruise on the ri g ht c h ee k. I : was th e opinion of the medical men examined that the injuries had been caused by two distinct blown, arid had not been occasioned . by a cart wheel passing over him. ['hey were iniupes likely to have been produced by one man kneeling or Stamping o n a no th er . It ap peared that about eight o'clock the prisoner and the deceased had been in the Snipe public house iriuking together, and that they had been betting ogether which of their horses would go the , astest, and that atter leaving the public house hey were heard quarrelli ng on t h e road and call ing -ach other " liars" near where the body was 'ound. An apron worn by the prisoner on the day in question was productd, on w hi c h were 40 or 50 apes of blood. `The prisoner, on arriving at his Inas- Nies with his horse and cart, had stated that he had words with the deceased on th e roa d an d turne d pa l e when he spoke of him. Wh en taken into custody on 'his charge he said to the policeman he had no doubt he should find it a bothering job, but he thanked God he was innocent of it. He afterwards said, that on leaving the Snipe Inn they each rode on the shafts of their carts, that he saw the deceased's cart following him, but never saw the deceased alive afterwards. He knew nothing about the spots on his apron. These facts having been proved, the Learned Coun sel for the prisoner addressed the jury, contending that the facts proved were consistent with the acci dental death of the deceased. His LORDSHIP having summed up, The jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. The two boys, Upton and Gutteridge, who had been convicted of placing a stone upon the Eastern Counties Railway, with intent to obstruct the passage of the trains, were brought up fur judgment. Mr. Justice WIGnTaxAN, addressing them, said that they had been convicted under a most wholesome sta tute which had been passed to prevent evils from aris ing, and which evils it was to be feared frequently had arisen, from the malicious acts of persons placing ob stacles upon railways. No doubt could be entertained, in the present case, that they had wantonly, if not maliciously, placed a stone in such a manner as must inevitably have occasioned a very serious accident, if not loss of life, if it had not been discovered and re moved. This was one of those offences which it was of the very last importance to repress, and an Act of Parliament had been passed with that object. It was clear that it was an offence that could equally well be committed by boys like the prisoners as by adults, and there was too much reason to fear that many unfortunate accidents had occurred from such mischievous acts. It was difficult to know how to deal with persons of their age, or how to in flict adequate punishment upon them. One of them was only thirteen and the other fourteen—hardly fit subjects fur transportation, although their offence was one which fully deserved it. A long imprisonment, and mixing with such characters as were likely to be their associates, was also hardly a fit punishment. Upon the whole, in the difficulty in which be was placed, he hoped that the sentence he was about to pronounce would be a sufficient punishment for them, and that it would deter other boys like them from re peating such a dangerous act. Tne sentence he should pronounce upon Upton, who, although the younger of the two, be considered the most guilty, inasmuch as he was aware of the consequences that would be likely to result from what he did, was one of two months' impri•onrnent and hard labour, the first three days in each week to be passed in solitary confine ment; and upon Gutteridge the sentence would he six weeks' impriiontnent and hard labour, the first three diva in each wssis to hs in solitary confinement. NE 3 7 COURT. (Before the ittoiahExt.) Philip Long, 35, pilot. and Thomas Pickering, 20, merchant, Were indicted for stealing 100 bogs of guano, the prop-rty of Robert Schofield, horn a barge u piwn the river Thames. "Din Minutiae lad Mr. Illtinsou prettecuted ; Mr. EVENING, AUGUST 25, 1851. nesses wAs evidently a tissue of tal-ehoo I, so much so on the part of Pickering that Mr. Clarkson declined exitnining them. Several witnesses were called who gave Long an excPllent previous character for honesty. The jury immediately found them Guilty, strongly recommending Long to mercy. Upun the prisoners being asked the usual question before passing sentence, Pickering said he thanked all parties for the fair trial he had hod. The RECORDSR, in passing sentence, said that he thanked Mr. Clarkson tor discontinuing to examine witnesses who it was evident were not speaking the truth. It would have been degrading to call them when the defence was clearly a falsehood, and Mr. Clarkson had vindicated the honour of the bar by the course he had adopted. With regard to Long, he should attend to the recommendation of the jury. The prosecutor had also stated that he had up to this transaction borne a good character. and he thought it likely he had been drawn into this matter by Picke ing ; still, in a port like the city of London, where so much trust was reposed in lightermen, his offence could not be passed lightly over, and he should therefore order him to be imprisoned for twelve mouhts. As to Pickering the case was dif ferent: be believed him to be the principal, and as a man in his position —a wharfinger—he should make a signal example of him to deter others and prevent si milar practioes upon the river, our great course of commerce. He had also tried to prevent the coarse of justice by getting false evidence for the defence, and was therefore a man not safe to be at large in this couirry, and be should transport him for ten years. Oae of the witnesses for the defence, named Par sons, swore that the officer Thomas, through whose zeal and ability the evidence bad been obtained, had offered him 51. to swear against the prisoners, and at the close of the proceedings the R-corder ordered him and another of the witnesses for the defence into cus tody for perjury. GU. itr. (Before Mr RUS,ELL GURNEY) James Lavrikkre Milker, a fashionably -attired young man, was indicttd lor obtaining goods by false pre , ,ncPs. M , . Parry and Mr. Woollett prosecuted ; and Mr. Ballantine and O'Brien were for the defence. Mr. Francis D,idd, of Cornhil , , jeweller, stated that in the early part of last month the prisoner came into their shop, and stating that he and his brother hail been customers at their shop for some tune, re quested to he shown go , ne bracelets. which w.s done, and he selected two, which he said he would take round to his offices, Wore Lion -court, Cornhill. Having been satisfied that he had some place there, the bracelets were sent, and he kept one valued at 101. which be said he would call and pay fur, or return if nut approved. After he had got the bracelet the prosecutor called several times at the office, but only once saw him, and be then told him that if he did nut return him the bracelet he had obtained by fraud be should give him into custody. Mr. Joseph Sarl, of Cornhill, silversmith, said that prisoner came to their shop on the sth of July, and asked to look at some bracelets, which were shown to him. He stated he was of the firm of Walker and Co.—(Laughter.) Two were sent upon approbation, and the prisoner came back and said that he would keep the one that was valued at 161., and that in a short time he Auld call again and give them a cheque on Smith, Payne, and Stnirh for the amount. He did not come back, and witness meet ing him some short time after in Curnhill gave him into custody. When you went to White Lion-court what did you find there ? 'Witness—There was a chair or two and a desk.—(Laughter.) It was proved that prisoner was not even known at Smith, Payne, and Smith's Inspector Mitchell proved prisoner being given into his custody on the 24th of July, by Mr. Sarl, at the station-house. Prisoner then said that if Mr. Sarl would withdraw the charge he would give up the bracelet, and subsequently they were both given up to witness. The jury found the prisoner Guiltp. Inspector Mitchell said he had obtained a bracelet from another jeweller, and had got 401. worth of goods from Mr. Alderman Hunter, and also swindled a poor woman at Homerton out of some money, and had further obtained three valuable looking-glasses from another tradesman. Mr. GURNEY said, it would not be satisfying jus tice if he did not give the prisoner a severe term of imprisonment, and ordered him to be kept to hard labour for twelve months. The prisoner, it would appear, had, fortunately for the trading community, been stopped in good time, for he had just obtained possession of a handsome residence at Abbey Wood, Kent, which was evi dently intended as is place of reference. Just as the above case had concluded, Inspector Park begged his Lordship would tell him how to dis pose of a gentleman who had just been given into the custody of one of the V division on a bench warrant, he being' in attendance as a witness? Mr. PARRY slid, the person alluded to war a client of his, ant they hail been behind his back and ob tained a bill, and, without giving him any notice, now, by getting a bench warrant on a Saturday, sought to lock him up until Monday. The charge had been dismissed by the magistrate. Mr. GURNEY said, if the bail would present them selves he would examine then] himself without notice, as he wibhed to stop the practice, which was often re tort,d t,. for extortion or spite. Mr PARRY" said that scarcely a session passed that parties were not taken into custody in this way on a Sa'urday ; and he would suggest that no warrant should be issued on that day without notice being previously given, or unless they had been before a magistrate. Mr. GURNEY said, he could not well make the order. It was a great injustice to parties. In this case he would con , ent to take we bail. EASTERN UNION RAILWAY.—Thpt 'Frown) branch of this company is now completes, and the .i9vern men t in 4391 cirit it t;adlin ! Clarkson and Mr. Biikin w9re for the prisoner P ckerin,t, and Mr. Parry and Mr. Sl igh were tor Long. Tne case, which lasted nearly the whole day, was of great public importance, and the court was crowded, the hitherto respectable position held by the accused parties making the trial one of extreme interest to those by whom they were known, and also to a large class of the agricultural body, who have for some time past been sufferers by the nefarious practices of which the prisoners were convicted. The evidence of the numerous witnesses who were ezauiioed proved the following case :—The real pro secutors are Messrs. Gihbs, of St. Helen's-place, agents to the Peruvian Government fur the sale of the guano, and it was stated by the Learned Counsel in his address to the jury that the Government of Peru had suffered most materially by the present system of fraud, the pure guano sent over by them being most scandalously adulterated by the practices, and thereby obtaining a bad repute, whereas in the pure state in which it is imported into this country its fertilizing property as manure is valuable in the extreme. In the early part of May Messrs. Gibbs received from M. Schofield, a large agriculturist at Howden, in Yorkshire, an order for 220 bags of guano, to be sent down by a coasting vessel. At that time the Invermore, laden with guano, was lying in either the East or West India Docks. The guano, it appears, is brought to this country in hulk, and when sold is sent away in bags, which are filled in the vessel from the bulk, the bags being sown up and marked by some of the dock officers before they leave their charge. The officers also take a sample from each vessel of guano when she is half unloaded, which they carefully keep, with the name of the vessel attached to it, for the sake of reference should any dis pute arise as to its respective property and value. The prisoner Long is a lighterman and bargemaster, and was employed to remove the guano from the Invermore, and should have gone to the Docks on the 16:h of May for it, and on that day let Captain Drury, of the Albion coasting vessel, have it on board. Long, how ever, did not go to the dock until Saturday, the 17th, and the guano, weighing in all 14 tons, was delivered to him in the usual way into a barge under his com mand named the Old Soul. Long did not deliver the guano to Captain Drury until Monday, the 19th, and said he could not get out of the dock before. When the guano arrived in Yorkshire the bailiff to Mr. Schofield had his suspicious raised that all was not right, there being a bag too many, and that being in appearance shorter than what they had been accus tomed to have. Upon inspecting their contents he round the substance to be of a very inferior quality. A bag was therefore sent up to London by Captain Drury, and he having obtained a sample of the origi nal bulk, it was analysed by Mr. Waly, analytical chy mist to the Roy al Agricultural Society, and he found that that which had been delivered to Mr. Schofield had been adulterated above half with marl. sand, and some other compound. lofor mation was then given to Messrs. Gibbs, and they paving consulted Forrester, the Mansion • house officer, the police were set to work to sift the mater to the bottom, and the evidence they obtained proved the guilt of both parties beyond all doubt. It appeared that Long left the dock on the same day he received the guano, and then proceeded with his barge, the 0d Soul, as far as the Union wharf, Lierehouse, belong ing to Pickering, and Ice° wn ae Pickering's wharf. rne o.d Soui was there unloaded, and the guano taken into Prekering's premises, where the bags were opened, emptied of their contents, and fillet with a mixture celled pho.phate and some portion of the original guano. Tney were then sewed up and inarked 'Telt] by the two prisoners, and reloaded on to the Old Soul, and thence shipped into the Albion. Fur the defence, it was attempted to be shown that the barge that was being unloaded and reloaded was not the one in quesion, but the evidence of th- wit- POLICE INTELLIGENCE GUILDHALL. Margaret Raymond, aged this ty, was charge-11 h e . fore Atorrwan with throwing her Son, aged six, from the third-fbur winduw of a house iu Sun court, Gulden-lane. Policeman 140 D said he received information on the previous evening that a child bad been thrown out of a window, and proceeded to 9, Golden-lane. The pri.oner was coining out, and she exclaimed, " I have dune it now." The child was sent to the hospital, and the prisoner was taken into cu.tody. Toe child afterwards said that his rmither had thrown him out of windo.v, bscau,e he would nut let her take off hi , boots. The prisoner —I was very drunk, your Worship. Ald.-rmati WinoN—Do you think that to be a justification of your contiuct ? _ . The police officer—She knew very well what sbe was doll g. The child fell on his head on the shed b-low the window, and thence roll, dto the ground. The surgeon's certificate was produced. It stated that the child's h , -ad was much injured, but the skull was not fractured. Mary Anne Regan, an intelligent girl, aged 11, who said she never read the Bible, but always told the truth, deposed that she lived in the house (No. 9), and was looking through the second-fl)or window. Ste saw.the prisoner holding the child out of the upper window ; he exclaimed, " Oh, mother, don't chuck me out The mother then took him by the heels and dropped him out of the window. At the same time a little girl in the mother's room exclaimed, " Oh, mother, don't throw him out !" The prisoner was committed for trial. She subse quently admitted that she had wanted the boy's bouts in order to sell them fo- gin. CLERKEIV WELL. Thomas Ledger, master of the national school in Agar Town, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting one of his pupils, 12 years of age, named Philip Wheaton, of 32, Cambridge -street. The com plainant's back was bared in court, and there were from 30 to 40 black and blue marks very visible. It appeared in evidence that the defendant first gave him, about half-past 11 o'clock in the day, two cuts across the hand, and afterwards caned him, no one else being present, at the same time holding him up with one hand until the weapon split. H, then got an other cave, and then held him with his face downwards, and, putting his foot upon him, fl egged him tor a con siderable time, when a gentleman and some of the boys, who had heard his screams, came to the door, and he was permitt e d t o crawl away. Defendant said he would not bit him again, but would turn him out of the school; the reason he was thrashed was fur making a noise with his fingers. Mr. TYRWAITT said such charges were getting so frequent, that it appeared likely one magistrate would have to devote bis whole time to their investigation. D.fmdarit said the complainant was an obstinate and wicked boy, and he punished him for makit.g a noise and seapping his fingers while the school was at prayers. He denied using two canes. and called two of the boss, who on oath corroborated his statement. Mr. TYRWEIITT was of opinion tha , . the case ought to end there, for no great harm had been done. He would repeat what he h,d often said, that he had ssen puaishments far more severe itifl cted in the school where he was brought up upon some of the first no blemen now living, clergymen, naval and military officers, and others of very high standing, who Dryer flinched from it, hut took it matitully and in good part, knowing they had deserved it, and that it was nec-ssary for the character and dignity of the esta blishment that such a discipline was actually neces sary " and without it," emphatically exclaimed the worthy magistrate," what would have become of our army and navy ? Why, instead of a brave arid manly race, we should have had a set of cowards and runaways." He did not approve of secret flogging ; if it was necessary it ought to take place before the other scholars, to operate as a warning. HA wanted to know from the father of the complainant did he wish the case to be sent to the sessions ? Tne father said that undue severity had been exer cised, and he was desirous that defendant should be tried before a jury. The Rev. C. Hart hoped the matter would be set tled there, and gave defendant a very high character. The father would not consent. Mr. TirawurrT was glad in one respect that the affair would have to be settled in another court, where it would be decided - to what extend a schoolmaster was justified in correcting youths committed to his care—a care of a most responsible and harassing nature, He would recommend all schoolmasters fur the future to have their rules and regulations, witb modes and extent of punishment fur different offences, printed or painted in the school-room, and to show them to every parent bringing a child there, and if they did not like the regulation, they would have an opportunity to go away with the youth who, through that mawkish, foolish, and mistaken feeling, would most likely turn out a bad character for want of learning good example and discipline. Such was his opinion of the whole facts, in which he was glad to say► he was borne out by the highest dignitaries of the Church, judges, and other humane and learned cha- ' racrers. The depositions were then formally taken azainst the prisoner, who was committed to the next Middle sex sessions for trial, and the witnesses were bound over to prosecute. Bail was taken for his appearance to take his trial, and be was liberated. THE COUNTR It MARKETS.

Phe market was fist and farmers endeavourer to atn.ed upon the prices of last market day on the strength of the uneert.ouiy of the weather. The etftet, however, was fruitless, and I,rices must be quoted as before, the importations tending to keep punts down at the lowest pitch. Aa 3e , , there has not been much new wheat brought into G oue,ster to tree% the farmers being too busy in the fields, and Ins our being siso scarce to allow of threshing. In the course of a fortnight or thr, a weeks, however, we may expect a good deal of the present yea. 's growth in the market. Good English white wheat sells here at 53 to 5s 4d per bushel; and red 4: 8,1 to 4a 101 ; foreign, 4s 2d to 4s 6d. Malting barley keeps up Its price, at 25s per quarter; and grinding, 22s to 23s per quarter. In oats 22s per quarter is olvainable for old; English, new, 21s; new Irish about 20s per quarter.

At Cirencester the average price of wheat is 38s Id per quarter; barley, 254 2d; oats, 21e; and bean., 36 , 3; floor, 29s to 303 per sack. At this town a good deal of excitement has been occasioned by the appearance of Mr. M'Cormick's reaping machine yesterday, which quite astonished the Cotswold farmers, who, sceptical of its powers seemed perfectly astonished at the work it got through, and the way in which it was done. At Devizes old wheat sold at about the same as last week. Several lots of new were off:red, which for brightness and quality were much admired. Some 30 sacks soli at 21s per sack, but the average price is 19s to 20s per sack. Little business doing in other grain. WORCESTER, A CG. 23 —Another week of bright har vest weather has contributed greatly to the prospect of plenty, and the effect has been felt in the corn-market to-day by a further fall in the value of most articles of grain. Best English wheat has now fallea to 15s and 15s for white, and 14a to 15s for red samples. For malting barley there was an average inquiry, at from 3s 8d to 48 per bushel; distilling qualities from 3s to 3a 41 per bushel. English beans fetched 4a 6d per bushel for best qualities, and 3s 6d to 3f 103 for inferior. Old English oats must be quoted at 31 41 per 391 b; and new, 2s 9d to 3s• Irith, 3s.
