Cbtat 92/bfitton SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock, SPAIN. Letters from Madrid of the 30th ult. speak of an unfriendly feeling between the Papal Nuncio and the Spanish Government, relative to religious communi ties and ecclesiastical tribunals. It was believed that Government had revoked the permission for the enrolment of the Legion for the service of the Pope. MADRID BoLsa, Musa t 30.—The Three per Cents. were done at 29} for paper; the Four per Cents. at 12i ; the Five per Cents., at l2f. ; the Debt without Interest at 3i ; and the Coupons at 7. SWITZERLAND. We learn from Berne, Ist inst., that the Federal Council has ordered the expulsion from Switzerland of the members of the associations of German work men . established at Geneva, Lausanne, Vevey, La Chaux de Fonds, Lode, Fleurier, Friburg, Bale, Zurich, Berne, Porrentruy, St. Imier, Berthond, Thoune, Wintertouer, and Schaffhausen, and has ordered that those of Aarau, Lucerne, Glaris, Coire, and Herisan shall be provisionally placed under the surveillance of the police. GERMANY. At Carlsrube, on the 30th ult., a fight took place between some Prussian and Baden soldiers, in conse quence of an altercation about politics. Three Prussian hussars and two Baden artillerymen were killed, and several on both sides were wounded. A letter from Erfurt of the 31st ult. states that the committees on the constitution of the two Chambers were proceeding with the revision of the fundamental rights, and were closely following the principles of the Prussian constitution. Some sensation has linen caused in Germany by the publication of an article in the Augsburg Gazette, endeavouring to show that Prussia, both for her own szke and for that of Germany, should adhere to the treaty of Munich, and that, in return, an increase of territory might be awarded to her by the suppression of several of the little states. ITALY. The Costituzionale of Florence states that the Tus can Government has consented to satisfy the demands of England. On the other hand we read the follow ing in the Monitore Toscano :—" The Tuscan jour nals have repeatedly made the affair relating to an indemnity which the Government of her Britannic Majesty claims of our Government, the subject of discussion in their columns. We are authorised to declare that the information contained in their articles are mostly incorrect, and that, while the negotiations are pending, it is not considered expedient to give more explicit explanations." The Riforma of Lucca states from Leghorn, 28th ult., that it is believed the state of seige will soon be rai-ed in that city. The Count of Trapani, betrothed to the daughter of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, was expected at Leghorn on the 2i from Naples. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) CROWN-OFFICE, Arm', 3, 1850.

Sutaan;—To-day on the part of refiners or :grocers little desire was evinced to do business in West India Sugar, and' in some cases the rates acceded to are rather under those current previously for brown and inferior sorts. At auction 211 hhds 31 tree crystalized were sold at easier rates; greyish at 38s to 45s 6d, brown 35s to 375, low 32s to 335. The purchases to-day were 412, making for the week 1,260 hhds, %c. RElt ulm---To-day _Refined Sugar was less in demand for home trade purposes; still, brown Lumps were not to be obtained tinder 48s 6d per cwt. The market for bonded Crushed Sugar •ls a till dull with free sellers at former terms. MAURITIUS..-.This afternoon former rates were gene rally supported for the better sons of Mauritius Sugar, still a further fall of sale 3 407 bags were, and brown. At public 6 d per cwt took place for inferior nearly all sold; good mid d ' however, a° good yellow went at 37s to 38s sd, mid 36s to 36s 6d, low 34s to 35s good Or - - good to fine s to 3 25, anua brown 33s to 345, inferior 30 d 9 7s to 27s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoonthelublic sales of 3,250 bags Bengal Sugar proceeded quietl y rates, bat for soft yellow a reductionofalts about former per cwt took place : the chief part sold—fine whiteaß tr enares at 40s to Stron g 40s 6d, mid to good 37s ad to 39s 6d, white 45s 6d to 475, low and mid soft yellow 31s 6d to It 34s 6d to' 86.. Of Madras 1,000 bags went at tnlo.wdrgattd; brown, mid and good at 27s 6d to 28s, and °"1 to mid yellow 29s 6d to 303 6d per cwt. Foal:l'm—Holders of parcels in bond appear relnc tant to accept lower rates, and supply the mark ; sparingly; still, the export orders executed by privatet treaty hare been of little moment, and only small pur chases continue to be made for refining under bond. At aucti)n 400 boxes white 11avannah were offered, damaged sold at from 26s to 27s 6d, sound taken in 28s 6d to 31s 9d, which were considered lower prices. Duty paid sorts have been operated in with caution for all purposes, AgairtSllll , Alkii.sire ready to accept previous moderate • • ty, and there is a fair supply. At I.c alele*-I , (' 1,604 chef is of Havannah were sold , : ai r a t p,nces g,rersib,t is' a par with those current previ t-40shrd_to_ool low realised 38s 6cl to 41s, low 57 1 t Witt. .t fine brown 36s to 3Gs 6d per cwt. • • ls a larger stock than last year ,• • I • THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 5, 1850. • still deliveries exceed those of that time, and in prices little difference is apparent. The market is quiet for West India, and the value is from 143 to 173 for low to fine quality. East India met with little attention, and is only wort:, 13s 6d to 14s, still these terms are not ob tainable for large parcels. A fall in the value of Honey is apparent. TEA.—There are free sellers of Congou at previous terms, yet town and country dealers are not disposed to get more into stock, and only a limited business has been done ; low to good crd at 9d to 91c1; medium kind, 10d to is 2d ; and better sort, is 21c1 to is 9d. There are several export buyers of ord rather under present rates. Scented and Pekoe Tea met with little attention, and can be obtained at rather lower. The common and mid sorts of Green are offered rather under former rates, yet buyers have made purchases with cau tion. For other kinds the market has a dull aspect, and prices are drooping. There is a probability that black and green Tea will be cheaper. COCOA.—In Foreign operations have been upon a small scale by private treaty, prices are drooping, and rule at 28s to 29s per cwt. None has been offered at public sale, still there is a large stock. British Plantation continues to be purchased with caution, and if sales were pressed a further decline in the value would be the result. COFFEE.—To-day there was much business in the Coffee market, and the limited business concluded by private treaty is at a further reduction. The value of Native Ceylon is 51s to 52s for good ordinary. At auc tion 52 casks Plantation went at prices nearly as low as they weere three weeks back; middling sold at 57s to 58s, and fine fine ord at 55s 6d to 56s per cwt. At a late houa this afternoon more desire was evinced to operate in Native Ceylon at the decline noticed previously, and about 5,000 bags were sold. RICE.—To-day a public sale of 622 bags and 367 pkts of Bengal Rice went at steady rates; mid white at 9s to 9s 6d, and damaged 5s 6d to 7s 6d per cwt. Of Sago 650 bags were taken in at 20s 61 to 22s for pearl, the.,e are barely former rates. 58 pkgs Bermuda Arrowroot at is 6d to is 7d, and 10 bags Tapioca at 6d per lb. SPIcEs.—To-day at auction 600 boxes of Cassia Lig nea were taken in at about late rates; pile 1 at 107 s, pile 2 at 105 e, pile 3 at 104 s, mouldy at 1025 6d, and broken ends at 1004. Of Nutmegs 8 cks Dutch limed were taken in at 3s for bold, and small at is 10d per lb. SPIRITS.—There is a firmness on the part of fielders of Jamaica Rum. The value of 20 to 29 per cent. over proof is 23 3d to 2s Bd, 30 to 36 over 2s 9d to 3s 6d, superior 3s 7d to 3s 9d, and very fine 3s 101 to 4s 3d per gallon. There are several buyers rather under these rates. Demerara is not much wanted, and holders appear disposed to sell 30 to 38 per cent over proof at from 2s 2d to 2s 7d. For Leeward is and the ratan asked are is 4id to Is 5d proof, but only small orders have been executed, there is not a better supply. East. India cannot be obtained under is 4d, still the de mand continues limited, and few parcel 3 are on offer. In Brandy the amount of business con cluded has been small during the week, and a desire is evinced to sell Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1849 at 4s 54 to 4s 70, 1848 ditto 4s 6d to 4s Bd, and inferior sorts 2s 9d to 4s 4d per gallon. The tendency of prices appears to be downwards, as stocks continue to accumulate, and, deliveries are much less than a few months past. Geneva is not much wanted, sellers are willing to accept Is 7d to Is 8d for ord export sort, and 2s 3d to 3s 3d for good to fine home trade kind. There aro tree sellers of British Corn Spirits at former rates of 9s 5d to Os 6d per gallon nett cash, and only a moderate trade has been done. In the value of Gin no variation is apparent. SALTPETRE. —To-day the market for Saltpetre was in a dull state, and a small part only cf 1,159 bags Cal cutta, at auction found buyers at easier rates, middling quslity- 64 to 8:1 , per cent refraction at 25s 6d to 263 6d, good 5 to 5i ditto 27s re: cwt. Immoo.—Purchases to a fair extent have been made in East India this week by shippers and home dealers, whilst the rates paid are fully equal to last sale, and it some cases rather above. The market has a firm ap pearance for all sorts. Spanish is in brisker demand at late terms. COCHINEAL—There has not been much desire to ope rate, and the market has been well supplied. At thi public sales tc-day cf 200 bags prices declined 2d for blacks, and Id for silvers, but the chief part sold; Honduras silvers went at from 3s 8d to 4s 4d, Mexican 3s 8d to 3s 9d, blacks 3a 7d to 4s Id, and Lima at 3s 6ri to 4s 4d per lb.

Cocoa Nut met with little attention from shippers and home dealers, Ceylon of good and fine quality is to be obtaineo at 31s to 335, and Cochin at 32s to 345. These mode rate rates are expected to cause en improved demand. Of Palm buyers operate with caution, fine is to be obtained at 31s to 31s 6d, still there is a fair con sumption. Holders of Olive appear not dis posed to make any fur;her concession in the value, and require 471 to 481 for Gallipoli and Spanish 441. 10s. to 454 lOs fur Barbary, Levant, anu Portugal ; still there is no improvement in the home or export demand, but consumption is better than a few weeks back. Only limited orders have been executer' for Linseed Oil for shipping, and holm dealers operated with caution ; larger parcel , of Oil are on offer, and a desire is evinced to sell at 32s 6d to 32s 9d per cwt.

FISHING EXTRAORDINARY.—One of the most ex traordinary feats in the annals of angling was achievei last week by the Rev. John Morgan, of Llanrhaiadr Dyffryn Clwyd. While fishing in the well-known salmon pool below Glan-y-Wern, Mr. Morgan observed a fish of extraordinary size making several leaps. After a few unsuccessful throws, the Rev. Gentleman succeeded in hooking a salmon, and after an hour's play he was brought close to land; such, however, was his strength and the violence of his struggles, that a landing net vas necessary to insure his capture. He proved to be of the extraordinary weight of 281 b. 7oz. Ttie Rev. Gentleman, with his well•known liberality, divided his noble prize amongst the poor at the almshouses, at Llanr hal:ldr, who of course had good reason to rejoice at the suc cess of their worthy pastor's piscatorial enterprise.— Chester Courant. ue o d u u n o d h , a yes , Chant re, elydinJgoisnephheirnreooDniuinas , stabbed in sev en pl aces , two of the wounds being through the in the wans found, heart. Towards five in the morning a woman, who slept in the next room, heard some noise, but thinking it was only a quarrel took no notice of the disturbance. A friend of the deceased, named Caroline Baugrand, coming to see her about ten o'clock, found the door half open, and the body of Jose phine lying on the ground, bathed in blood. All that has been known was th a t a young man passed the night with the deceased, but was not seen to go out in the morning. None of the property of the murdered girl was touched, which leads to the idea that some failing of jealousy or revenge must have actuated the murderer. An investigation was imme diately commenced, and two warrants, it is said, have been issued against suspected parties.— Galignani of Wednesday. Mr. David Small, the worthy tenant of the Milton of Abernyte, has a cow which a few days ago brought him two fine calves at a birth, while it is not quite eleven months since she had other two—four calves within eleven months. We believe such a circumstance is of rare occurrence, but what is partly still more remarkable, the fruitful and thriv ing animal has had altogether ten calves, while she is not quite nine years old, and she was three years old before she had her first calf. Twice she had one calf at a birth ; then four times in succession she had twins. We understand she is originally off Lord Kinnaird's stock.—Dundee Courier. On the 29th September last the Tribunal of Cor rectional Police condemned by default the well-known Cabet, chief of the Icarian Communists, to two years' imprisonment, 50f. fine, and five years' interdiction of civil rights, on the charge of swindling in connexion with his Icarian commu nity. Cabet, who is in America, caused an opposition to be made to this judgment, and by his desire the case was to be definitively heard in January. In that month, however, his friends obtained a postponement to the 2d April, on the condition that lie should be present. Yesterday the case was ca ll e d on, but Cabet not only did not appear, but caused a further postponemen t to be dexanded. This, on th e oppo sition of the public prosecutor, the tribunal refused t o grant, and the condemnation was formally confirmed.—Paris Paper.

She was burnt about four miles below Montgomery. It is supposed that there were 120 persons on board, many of whom leaped into the river and were drowned, others perished in the flames, and others t w b e r r e e w c t r b u s e h m e s d e l b v ); t s i h n e t o g u tb a rod river,s f the an d b m o a o t s t fa o l f l i n t g b . o o T o h n e ladies were burnt. Mrs. Hall, with her daughter in her arms, was drowned. The clerk of the boat (Mr. Mear), in attempting to save her was nearly drowned. The only article on board that was saved was the trunk of ColonerPreston. '!'here were a number of returned Californians on board, who lost their all. Colonel Rodman Price, of the United States navy, agent from California, lost his baggage, with which were 250,000 doll ars belonging to the Government. Mr. Maul, a returned Californian, was very severely injured. F. Brooks, of Mobile, rumoured to have been lost, was saved. In addition to the money lost by Mr. Price, there were 10,000 dollars belonging to Mr. Knowland, and a large sum by Mr. Schmidt. A considerable portion of the sum in charge of Mr. Price was gold dust in the safe, and may be recovered. The register of passengers was lost. The clerk of the boat has furnished a list of the names as far as ascertained. Hugh Hughes, mate; Peter, steward; Esther, the chambermaid. The second cook and eight negroes ware saved, also all the crew, with the exception of the second mate. Another ac count supposes there were fifty lives lost and 60,000 dollars. Many persons are still missing.—New York Courier. HOP INTELLIGENCE.—WORCESTER, APRIL 3. From a return made by order of the House of Commons of the number of acres of hop ground in cultivation last year in Great Britain, we find there has been a considerable re duction, the quantity of land now in plant being 42,791 acres, or about 6,600 less than the return of the previous year. This is an important fact for the trade, and will pro bably have an immediate effect on the market. Several sales were untie on Saturday at improved rates. -- Worcester Journal, COURSE OF EXCH Anaster,:a. .......... 12 2 Ditto, three months .. 12 4 ftotterd 12 4 3 4 A_ntwerp— ............ 25 SO Brusscls • • • • 2 5 80 Ilarnbursh .... ...ALB. 13 13N Lltona ...... • Paris, 3 days'sight 25 55 Ditto, 3 months .... 25 75 Marseilles ............ 25 77% 80urdeaux......... • Frankfort on Mains.... 1217 s Berlin. • .. • • • • • Vienna, effec. tic.-- 12 15 Trieste, ditto.... • • .... 12 15 Petersburgh, Sil.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Taunton, April 3. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice ERLE.) Francis Kirk was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Luke Collins, at West Hatch, on the 20th of March. Mr. Lopes was counsel for the prosecution. It appeared by the evidence that the prisoner was a 'abonrer in the employ of the prosecutor. On the 20th of March the prosecutor met the prisoner in one of his fields, carrying a winnowing machine. He spoke to him, and asked him why he had not cleaned out the barn, as be had told him. The prisoner re plied that he had commenced doing it, but French, another labourer in the prosecutor's employ, had called him away to do something else. The prose cutor answered, " that if he did not do what he told him he had batter go home." The prisoner replied, " D— your eyes !—you make nothing of telling a person to go home." He then dropped the machine he was carrying, and took a pick. Ho then said, " I'll go home with you." He then made a blow at the prosecutor's head with the pick, which struck him on the arm. He then made a second blow at him, which broke his arm ; a fourth blow struck him on the head, cut it open, and felled him to the ground, and rendered him senseless. When the prosecutor came to himself he found the prisoner still striking him, and swearing that he would kill him. The pro secutor managed to get up and run away. The prisoner followed him and continued to strike him with the pick ; but at last some men came to the pro secutor's assistance, and the prisoner was taken into custody. A Surgeon was called, who proved the extent of the injuries which the prosecutor had received. His life was endangered for some days. He appeared in court with his head and arm bandaged up, and seemed to be in a very weak state. The prisoner was found Guilty. Mr. Justice ERLF, in sentencing him, said that many cases had been before him on this circuit, but none had been marked by such malignant violence as that exhibited by the prisoner in the present case. He had not only struck the prosecutor with such violence as to break his arm and cut open his head, but when he was endeavouring to make his escape, he had fol lowed him and repeated his violence. He ordered him to be transported for ten years. John Lewis was indicted for cutting and wounding George Tropnell, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. H. T. Cale was counsel for the prosecution ; the prisoner was undefended. It appeared by the evidence that the keepers of Colonel Tynte, of Hoawell house, were out watching on the night of the Ist of December last. At about twelve o'clock at night they beard a gun fired in the copse of Colonel Tynte, in which game was pre served ; they made towards the copse, when they ob served three men come out of it and go towards another wood *here there were pheasants. The keepers made towards the copse in two parties, when they observed one of the men fire at a pheasant in a tree, it being a fine moonlight night. They made towards the poachers, when a scuffle ensued, and the prisoner struck Tropnell, one of the keepers, several times over the head with a large stick, drawing blood from three wounds. He was, however, overpowered and secured, with another of the poachers. The prisoner was found Guilty of a common as sault. Sentence deferred, a true bill having been found against him and the others for night poaching. NISI PRIUS COURT. 403 t 121% 122 1 4 53% The civil business was all concluded last night, having occupied only two days. Only nine causes were named for trial; of these five were undefended, one was withdrawn, one was an action of slander, in which a verdict was consented to, and an apology made; and the other two were cases of not the slightest public interest. Never was known such an assize in Somersetshire. In olden time 40 or 50 causes were the smallest number entered ; and within the last seven years we have never known less than 20. Either the county courts, or some other unex plained cause, must have created this state of thing. (Before Mr. Justice TAIFOURD.) James Sutton, John Poole, John Home, and James Davis, were charged with a riot and an assault upon a constable in the execution of his duty. Mr. Stone was counsel for the prosecution ; Mr. T. Saunders defended the prisoner. The facts of the case were, that on the ;ath of February, whilst the prisoners, who were apparently very respectable young men, were drinking at a public-house at Luxborough, in this eounty, a dis pute arose between one of them and another person, whereupon they commenced fighting, and upon a constable being called in they not only did not desist, but the constable himself was several times knocked down in the row. The fighting was afterwards con tinued outside the house, and many of the windows of the inn were broken. Mr. T. IV.SAIINDERS, on the part of the prisoners, expressed their sorrow for the violence they had used, and his own regret that some more rational mea ns o f enjoyment were not afforded to you ng men i n Coun try places than those which pre sen t e d themselves in public houses, wherein, from th e h a bi ts of drunken ness they were tempted to acquire, the worst evil s •fre quently followed. The jury having returned a verdict of Guilty, Mr. justice TALrouun, after expressing his grief at seeing four respectable young men placed in such a situation, and hoping that they would be more pru dent for the future, sentenced Sutton to be impri soned for six weeks, and each of the oth ers t o ono month each, and to enter into their own recognizances to keep the peace for a twelvemonth. NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Nerwich, April 3. The commissions for this city and the comity of Norfolk were opened yesterday by the Learned Judges, who arrived by train from Bury direct on the newly-opened portion of the Eastern Union Railway. The county cause list contains 20 causes, 9 of which are " certioraried" indictme n ts, and one special jury cause. The city boasts,an entry of two causes only : The calender for the county contains 60 prisoners, including 1 serious case of night -poaching, involving 8 prisoners, 7 cases of arson, 1 of forgery, 2 of per jury, 1 of manslaughter by the negligent sale of opium, 7 cases of burglary, 1 of a tt em pt to murder, 1 of embezzlement, 5 charges of rape, and a variety of minor offences. _ - (Before Mr. Justice CROWN COURT. -- John Rowland, aged 18, was c h a rged with felo niously setting fire to a st ac k o f s traw at Worsted, the property of John Pestl e .

It appeared from the evidence of the various wit nesses that the prisoner an d one W oo dhouse had been drinking in a public-hou se at N o rth Walshatn, a place about four miles from Worsted. They left to gether at about eleve n o ' clock, an d went along th e road, which passes ab ou t thirty yar d s from the s t ac k.

Woodhouse took no notice o f t hi s conversation morning, and the prisoner was app re h ended on the charge, a n d when in custody h e said that after b e h a d parted company the previ ous evening with W oo dh ouse , h e had gone into the s t ac k yard and set fire to the stack with a match. Mr MILES addr esse d the jury on behalf of th e prisoner, and called w it nesses to the prisoner's cha racter. His LOADSIIIP having summed up, The jury, after some consideration, returned a verdict if Guilty, b ut recommende d th e prisoner to mercy. Mr. Justice WiGnTmAs—On what ground, gen tlemen ? The foreman, much puzzled, replied, "On the grounds that we think the evidence not sufficient." Mr. Mir.Es submitted that this was in effect an ac quittal, but HIS LORDSHIP again addressed them, and saying that if it was their unanimous opinion that the evi dence was not sufficient they must acquit the prisoner and say notsuilty, desired them to consider ther ver dict again. The jury ultimately returned a verdict of Guilty, with a recommendation to mercy on account of his previous good character. His LORDSHIP deferred passing sentenca on the prisoner. NISI PRILTS COURT'.— (Befcre the CHIEF BARON.) BREACH OF PROMISE OF M.A.RRIAG E—THRIXTER V. SHEPHEARD. This was an action for breach of promise of marriage. Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Couch for the plaintiff, and Mr. O'Malley for the defendant. Mr. Coucti opened the pleadings. The declaration stated that the defendant had promised during the life time of his father to marry the plaintiff within a reason able time after his father's death, which took place on May 2, 1846, but that the defendant had recently mar ried another person. To this the defendant pleaded, first, that he did not promise; secondly, that the pro mise had been obtained by fraud, coven, and misrepre sentation; and thirdly, that the defendant made the promise on the supposition that she was a just, modest, and good woman, but that he afterwards discovered that she was not so. Mr. PRENDERGAST, in stating the case,said the plain tiff, Miss Harriet Thraxter, was the daughter of a re respectable farmer, living at Hindolveston, in this county, and the defendant, Mr. Shepheard, was a `farmer living at Melton Constable, an adjoining parish. These families had been long and intimately acquainted, so intimately indeed that two brothers of the plaintiff mauled tao sisters of the defendant. It could not be considered that a marriage between the defendant and Miss Thraxter would be unequal, as they were in the same rank of life, and had bekiti for a number of years very intimata and on friendly terms. Mr. Shepheard at the present time was 46 years of age, and the plaintiff 34. The courtship between themcontinued for a considerable time, it being commenced when Miss Thraxter was only 24 or 25 years of sge ; and it would be shown that the ac quaintance between them was of a very intimate descrip tion. The Learned Counsel proceeded to detail the facts as given in evidence, and then called the following wit nesses:— James Rushmere—l live at Felthorpe, and I know the plaintiff, Miss Harriet Thraxter. I have known her and her family seven or eight years. I have known the defendant, Shepheard, a little longer. Miss Thraxter has been in the habit of living with her father and mo ther. Mr. Thraxter had two brothers and sisters. One brother married a sister of the defendant. I went three times to the house of Miss Thraxter's father about a year and a half before her confinement. About seven years since I stayed thero a week. I saw Mr. Shepheard there almost every day. He came courting to Harriet. Mary Ann Bulmer was there, and she became my wife. I visited there a second time, about a month before Miss Thraxter's confinement. My wife was there at that time. Then went to the house of Mr. Shepheard's fa ther to tea one evenitne, at the invitation of young Shep heard. I heard some conversation in Mr. Thraxter's kitchen, and John Shepheard said to Miss Thraxter, " Harriet, do not make yourself unhappy, for I'll nr,ke you my wife, and no one else." She replied, " That is an old tale, John ;" and he said, " I'll do it, Rushmere you are a witness to it." I said " Yes." Ile talked to me next day on the lawn, end said he wanted to get a situation on a farm that he might marry. I heard him say to Harriet that nothing kept him from marrying, only the want of a situation. He was living with his father at that time. He went with me and my wife to the house of his father, who received her very comfortably indeed, aed when she left, kissed her forehead and hale her good night. Any person could see that she was in the family way at that time. About two years alter I went to the house of Harriet's father, and John Shepheard still came courting as usual, and he seemed very fond of the child indeed. The child eras about two years old and ran about. I had soma conversation with Shepheard, and he said "if it pleased Ged to take my father I should take the farm and marry Harriet Thraxter." This conver sation was with me alone. His father is since dead. Cross-examined, but nothing materiel was elicited. Mary Pommell card —I know Miss Thraxter and Mr. Shepheard. I lived at his father's house, and he used to come to see her, and he seemed to be very found of her. I have known them to be acquainted for ten or twelve years. I was the nurse of their child born on 13th Nov., and now seven years old. During her confinement Mr. Shepheard came to see her on the Surrtlay after she was confined. He went into her bedroom and found her crying Ile took hold of her hand, and said, •‘ Harriet, dear, what do you fret fer? I mean ta make you my wit'e, and no one else." He told me to get her well as soon as I could, and he would pay me. He came again on Tuesday and said, "Dear me, Harriet, what makes you fret ? If I slighted you, you might have cause to fret." He stayed as long as he pleased, and then went away. He was always used as one of the family when he came, and he came very often. lie said he would marry her, if ho had a situation to take her to. He wished me to name the child Elizabeth Shepheard, and she was so named and christened. Mr. Shepheard's father has been dead about four years. I know Miss Thraxter's family. Her brother and sisters are married. Her lather is a small farmer, and the Thraxters have been always reckoned very respectable people. (;rose-examined at some length, but her evidence was not shaken. Ann Goddard deposed that the defendant occupied a firm of 300 acres. This was the case, and some legal discussion ensued on the point, whether the count in the dec!a•a'.ion as to the time of the breach of promise was supported by the evi dence. Untimately an arraogcment was made as to the amount of damages, and we undarstood 401. to be the amount agreed on. A juror was withdrawn, and the rest of the jury were discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. John William Broach, a constable of two years' standing in the F division, was charged with commit ting a series of violent assaults while in a state of in toxication. A shoemaker named Wyson, living in Dudley street. St. Giles's, with his companion, John Apthorp, were walking along Drury-lane at about two o'clock in the morning of the 27th ult., when they saw the deiendant intoxicated, followed by a woman who was abusing him. They told the woman to "shut up ;" upon which the defendant turned upon them, and called them " b-- Chartists and housebreakers." Wyson said he would compel him to prove his words in another place, and then the defendant drew out his truncheon and struck him a blow, which left him stunned and bleeding. The constable was followed by the other complainant, who received still worse treatment, being struck down and injured so seriously as to compel his removal to King's College Hospital, where he remained several days. The inspector described the injuries received by the young men, and stated that the constable was drunk when brought to the station, for which he had been suspended. He was not on duty at the time. At a former examination the case was remanded to admit of the attendance of Apthorp from the hospital but now both the complainants expressed their wish to withdraw from the prosecution. Mr. HALL asked if the defendant had offered them anv money to compromise the case ? The complainants replied in the negative, and Wyson stated that he was actuated by a consideration for the defendant's wife and family. Mr. Duncombe, who attended for the defendant, hoped that his worship would consider the punish ment ii.flicted by the Police Com m i ss i oners, i n dis missing him, as sufficient under the circumstances; especially as the complainants themselves had been drinking. Mr. HALL said it was a very bad case. Whether on duty or not a constable was bound at all times to observe the discipline and regul ar it y o f con d uct essen tial to his position as a guardian of the public peace and morals. A s A p th orp ' s statement had not been submitted to the Co ur t, h e coul d b e allowed to exer cise his discretion as to proceeding with the charge ; but the case of the other complainant was before him, and he (Mr. H a ll) s h ou l d not allow it to be compro• mired. The p u bli c were generally too ready to corn plain of the p o li ce , an d such an outrage as this— which, owing to the excellent management of Super intendent Pearce and his brother officers, was happily of very rar e occurrence i n the division—would be likely to increase their unpopularity in quarters where a prejudice already existed. His Worship then fined the constable 51., which was paid. M ARLBOROUGII-STREET. Lord George Gordon Lennox was summoned be , fore Mr. Bingham to show cause why he refused to maintain the illegitimate offspring •of Elizabeth Beatty, of which he was alleged to be the putative father. Mr. Ballantine attended for the defendant, who did not personally appear. Elizabeth Beatty said she lived at No. 19, Queen's square, and on the 24th of November last she was delivered of a female child, of which Lord George Lennox, the defendant, was the father. No letters had passed between the alleged father and herself, and no money had been paid in the presence of witnesses for the support of the child. On one occasion his Lordship said, in the presence of a witness named Sidney, in a joking way, that he was the father of her child. Cross-examined—Could not recollect the exact time when the connexion with his Lordship first took place, but believed it was about the middle of April, at an "introducing" house, in Bolton-place. Had never been intimate with any man in April, 1849, except his Lordship. Before witness became ac quainted with his Lordship she followed the dress making line. First met his Lordship at the Casino, in 'Vindmill•street. Had seen gentlemen in an " ac commodation" house, in Tenterden•street. Knew who Oh! Charley was. Had sent to a Mr. Clark for money. Received 10s. and afterwards 51. from Mr. Clark, but it was from charity. Never sent any one to the Alfred Club to ask if " Old Sir Robert" was in town. The present was not witne3s's first child. As a material witness was absent, Mr. Bingham decided on adjourning the further investigation of the case for a fortnight. IMPORTED PICTURES.—In the Art Journal for April is published the following curious statement of the number of pictures imported into the United Kingdom in the year 1819 :7-From Prussia, 34; Germany, 1,066; Holland, 1,91 G; Belgium, 2,420; France, 3,498 ; Spain and Portu gal, 326 ; Italy, 1,723 ; other countries, 1,678 ;—total, 12,691. THE RIOT AT GREENWICH. Yesterday, twenty-two soldiers of the Royal Ar tillery and Royal Marines, were brought before Mr. Seeker, at the Greenwich f olice Court, charged with creating a riot at Greenwich fair, assaulting numerous civilians (whose names at present are un known), and damaging property belonging to Mr. Nelson Lee, proprietor of Richardson's Travel!ipg Theatre, and others. The court and avenues leading thereto were crowded to excess by persons anxious to hear the proceedings, and several military officers sat on the platform. Mr. Owens, solicitor, of Woolwich, attended for the prisoners, whose names are Wien Battersby (pri vate), Royal Marines • henry Taylor, dit to ; J ames Kelly, ditto; James Moffatt, ditto; an d J aco b Guns ton, ditto ; Matthew Cowie, Wm. Lemon, James O'Brien, Samuel Robinson, Wm. Jameson, Evan Evans, John Watts, Thos. Hart, Patrick M'Loughlin, James Purcell, Samuel Taylor, George Payne, John Martin, K. Wilkinson, Edward Griffin, Win. Webb, and Henry Tapping, all of the Royal Artillery, Wool wich division. At the request of Mr. Owens, all witnesses were desired to leave the court. Police-constable James Comber, 354 R, deposed that he was on duty in the fair at half-past six on Wednesday evening, when he saw several civilians near Richardson's Theatre, assaulted by the military ; one gentleman had his hat knocked over his eyes, several other persons were then struck down by the soldiers, about twenty cf whom were then on the spot. Witness endeavoured to persuade them to de sist, upon which they turned upon him. S. Taylor and Jameson called him a-- peeler, and struck him. He got away, and ran for assistance. On his return the soldiers had mounted Richardson's show booth, and, taking the swords used upon the stage from the actors, beat them therewith. Griffin and Watts were striking several persons with sticks. Watts had a sword. The other soldiers were armed with sticks, canes, and pieces of wood, and Evans was on the stage, beating several persons with his fists. All the prisoners came in a crowd together at about half-past six. The civilians offered no offence to them. The prisoners attacked every one that came within reach. Sergeant Horsfall, 9 R, with a severe wound on his nose, deposed that he saw the soldiers strike the performers with sticks, &c., on the platform, as well as many civilians in front of the booth. The soldiers had been called cowards for their brutal conduct, and they said they would let them see; they would clear the booth—tear the platform up. Watts, the artillery man, struck witness, and knocked him down. Griffin, Jameson, and Cowie, also struck him. His head, knees, and hip were injured. Watts and Lemon struck several civilians. Was struck by two or three soldiers while standing on the steps of the booth. The whole body of the military then rushed on to the stage. There was a general row, and women and children screaming. Watts, Jameson, and Cowie were engaged in breaking the lamps, stage ornaments, &c. Soon after, power:ul assistance arrived, and several of the prisoners were taken into custody. Mr. Nelson Lee corroborated last witness's state ment, and said that he appealed to the prisoners, im ploring them to desist, and not to destroy his property. Mrs. Lee, who was in the money-office, with diffi culty escaped, as the lamps end oil were tumbling about the pay-box. The police acted with great for bearance and were very kind. A gentleman was " bonneted" (hat forced over his eyes), and, on his turning and remonstrating, was assaulted, when six or seven soldiers rushed forward and a general riot ing ensued. Bricks and stones were flying about. The mob rushed on the platform, and the soldiers turned on the people indiscriminately. The people groaned at the soldiers for their brutal conduct. Mr. Lee identified Evans, Griffin,, Cowie, and H. Taylor as roost active in the disgraceful proceedings. Several performers, he said, had been brutally used, and the damage done to his property exceeded 201. His large chandelier was taken from Evans, broken to pieces._ John Carpenter, sergeant, 38 R, deposed that he was on duty in plain clothes at half-past six, about fifty yards from the show booth. Saw the actors en gaged on the platform and the people in front. Tae military at this time had begun to tear down the steps. Witness went up to them and said, " Don't injure Mr. 14 - :•e's property." Battersby and Tapping told him to get out of the way. Martin was engaged tearing up the steps; he had two pieces of %loud, and threw the remainder of the steps into the road. He then ran to an oyster•stall, seized a quantiy of the oysters and threw them at persons on the stage. Several stones were thrown, and a large one struck a gentleman. Shortly after, the soldies cleared the stage and made a rush up the street. Cowie jumped on to the platform and seized a sword and flourished it, while others made a rush at the orchestra and assaulted the musicians. Battersby broke a trombone to pieces, and others destroyed everything that came in their way, and Watts pulled the chandelier down, and several of the prisoners pulled a rope round Mr. Lee, who begged for mercy, and urged them not to destroy his property. Wilkinson, Griffin, and Webb, assaulted witness. lle followed them from the fair and apprehended them in the market-place, washing themselves at the pump. Assisted .by other officers, he removed them to the station-hcusr, and told them they were all charged with rioting at the fair. Mar tin replied, "Yes ; I wish I had had a piece of artillery there, and we would soon hare cleared you away." _ _ - Police constable Charles May, 296 R, identified Watts, Jameson, Tapping, and Robinson, and said that the latter prisoner threw a brick, and used a stick on the stage, and that the prisoner Battersby struck him violently on the shoulder. William Mee, a civilian, said that Cowie took a rope and tried to hang Mr. Lee on the stage, and that Webb pulled the chandelier down and broke it. Wm. Simpson, a comedian, said he saw Wm. Lemon insult a gentleman, and another soldier strike him in the face. Several ladies fainted away and were taken to the back of the booth. Police-constable 327 R provedthat M'Loughlin incited his companions forward to mischief, and led them on. O'Brien and Purcell pulled him off the step, and the latter threw stones. James Chappell, cork-cutter, 13uckstone-street, Spitalfields, proved that Jameson struck Mr. Nelson Lee with a stick, and also every one within his reach, using dreadful langunp, and threatening to kill them all. Stones and oysters fiew• about, striking Mr. N. Lee and himself. Two swords were taken from the performers. The riot commenced by the soldiers attacking the people. Jameson and Purcell attacked every one. Henry Wilkinson deposed that he kept an oyster stall. Griffin and Robinson took his oysters away, and threw them at the people on the platform ; his stall was upset, and fried fish and all destroyed. Abraham Wooley, of Park-street, Greenwich, saw Cowie and APLoughlin acting as ringleaders, and pulling down the stage ornaments and lamps. Seven other witnesses were called, but not sworn, who said they had witnessed acts of great violence on the part of O'Brien, Jameson, Watts, Hart, Tapping, Evans, Cowie, Martin, Lemon, Wilkinson, and Pur cell. There being no evidence against Moffat, Gunston, and Payne, they were discharged. Mr. Owens said he considered there was not suffi• cent evidence to go for trial, and he hoped the magis trate would adjudicate himself. Mr. SECKER said the case was not within his juris diction ; he could not deal summarily with it. It must g• to a jury, and he considered the case one of a very serious complexion. He should remand the prison ers until to-morrow, for the depositions to be pre • pared, and would take bail in 50/. for each of the pri soners, to meet the charge at the sessions. There being no bail in readiness, the prisoners were locked up in the cells at the station-house. TORQUAY.—The venerable old parish church at Tor has been opened, after having undergone a thorough re pair and restoration, internally and externally. The seats are now open, with low backs, of the proper ecclesiastical character. There is a very handsome new pulpit, and also a new organ, presented by the much-esteemed lady of the Rev. Dr. Harris, incumbent of the church, built by Dicker, of Exeter, which is a fine-toned instrument. The restora tions, which are nearly completed, reflect great credit on the incumbent and wardens. The collection on the re opening amounted to 301. 4s. At St. John's Chapel, during the solemn season of Lent, the communion-table was covered with black cloth, and many of the congregation wore mourning. These symbols of the crucifixion were re moved, and on Easter Sunday a different scene presented itself, the church being beautifully decorated with laurel, laurestina, ivy, and other evergreens, in flower, formed into sentences, " Christ is risen from the dead," &c., on the walls. The fronts of the galleries, the organ loft, and pulpit were also similarly decorated. There was a new tablecloth for the Commonion service, of white cashmere, very costly, with an embroidered cross in the centre, in gold anti scarlet, the edges of gold fringe. A magnificent cloth, for covering the altar taible In the new church, has b een pro vided, of the richest crimson velvet and gold, cushions to correspond, aqd tkisacred monogram worked in gold. The chapel was crowded on Good Friday and Easter Sunday. The weather is 40001` much milder, and we h ave h a d slight showers of nig. r Lear of many gay fashionable rd. unions in the town dpiing the Easter and the ensuing week; our visitors continue to Increase, and preparations are already making for excursions at sea.-- Westo n Luminary.
