STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MINCLIESTER, TIJESDAT. — AIthough the orders for yarns from the continent of Europe continue indivi dually small, and comparatively limited in their ag gregate amount, the merchants experience as much difficulty as ever in placing them for delivery within a reasonable time ; and the consequence is, that while but very little business is done, or can ba done, that little has to encounter a hardening ten dency in prices. This statement refers particularly to 20's and 30's water in the bundle, while, in the lower counts of reeled water, and in 20's reeled mule, as well as in 28's warps, prices are firmly sus tamed. As regards warps of lower numbers, down to 16's, which, under a combined home and foreign demand of great extent, have attained to relatively high prices, it has been found to-day, more distinctly than it was last week, that the buyers are less disposed than they were a short time back to give out orders ; and this has led to a con cession of id. per lb. by such spinners as are ap proaching the end of their contracts, though the most part are too well situated, in this respect, to give way at all. The same remark applies to the corre sponding counts of pin-cop weft. The finer yarns, adapted to the Russian market, are scarcely firm i n price. In qualities suitable for India, there is hardly anything going on for that quarter ; but, as they ap pear to be elsewhere wanted in some degree, and as the production is to some extent lessened, no alteration has taken place in price. In goods there has been a general want of anunation, and the operations have been only of moderate extent on the whole ; but prices have shown much steadiness, though in some articles, as for instance, Indian fabrics, there may be a slight further bias against the producers. Altogether, the market for yarns and goods is quiet, and, though steady, pervaded by a spirit of caution. There has been much complaining to-day, and certainly not without reason, of the decision of the American chamber at Liverpool, to limit to three months, in stead of twelve as heretofore, the responsibility of merchants and shippers on the other side on account of deficiency of weight, or anything rendering cotton un merchantable. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—There is no amendment in the flannel market this week, and goods continue heavy of sale. Last September it was difficult to ob tain goods to meet the demand. There is no change in the wool market, and the manufacturers continue to buy for immediate use only. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The languor which has of lata pervaded the worsted trade has experienced no diminution ; end with the exception of a few fancy goods of low quality, scarcely anything has changed bands to-day, in our Piece Hall. We cannot report any improvement in the demand for yarn, and the prices continue below the cost of production. The wool market is quiet, without any change in the quotations. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—Business still conti nues quiet. There has been no material improvement in the charac'er of the market since our last week's report. The buyers attending the Cloth-hall to-day have been faw, and their purchases small. A few of the laro•er shipping houses have been pretty busy during the week with continental orders, though the shippers generally are not busy. A few orders have been received in the warehouses for goods of heavy make, Eku it able for the coaling season. Lurins, Tonsio.x.Y.— T he market at the halls to-day has been quiet, and the woollen trade is dull for the Season of the year. Winter goods met a fair sale ; but there is little doing in other descriptions of cloth. 11EAIMOF _LONDON DURLNG THE W EEK. (From the Report ot rho ..ilegistrar-General.) London is as healthy a is usual at this season of the year. 1,026 deaths were registered in the week. The average number of deaths in the corresponding week of the ten years 1841-50 was 1,104 ; or 1,000 if we correct for increase et population and exclude 2,865 deaths in the second week of September, 1849, when the cholera was epidemic. In the last week there was a death every ten minutes in London ; but the population is now about 2,381,000, and the mortality is therefore at the rate cf 1 in 2,381 weekly. The births were 1,429, and exceeded the deaths by 403 ; the population is increasing partly by immigration at the rate of 42,000 a year, or 800 weekly. 535 males and 491 females died. The ages of four persons were not reported; 198 only were of the age of 60 and upwards, 3.59 were in the prime of life, and 465 were children who had not attained the age of 15. Oi the 1,026 deaths, 722 occurred on the north, 304 on the south side of the Thames. 72 persons died in hospitals, 9 in lunatic asylums, 93 in workhouses, 5 in prisons, 7 in military and naval hospitals, and Bin military and naval asylums. No persons died iu the hospitals for foreigners. Diarthea, summer cholera, and fever are the pre vailing diseases ; fever is increasing ; cholera is slowly, dierrlicea rapidly, declining. The deaths in the last three weeks wore 2S, 17, 17 from cholera, and 174, 192, 101 from diarrhcei. 24 men and women died of that painful disease• cancer, and 119 of con sumption, and 31 of heart disease ; eix women died in childbirth. 59 violeut deaths are reported. The following are the particulars of the deaths from cholera referred to in the week ending Saturday, the 13th of September.

In St. Pancras, Camden-town subdistrict, at 23, Pratt- s t ree t, on the 9th of September, a bag-maker, aged 72, "diarrhoea (10 days), dysentery (15 days), exhaustion (5 days)." Mr. Holl remarks that much disease, arising from the want of sanitary im provement, prevails in this place. The back yards are below the level of the road, the cesspools at the bottom of the yards ar e i n a very foul state, and one of the inhabitants keeps several pigs. The houses are crowded by poor families, the majority of whom are not of the most cleanly habits. These yards abut upon the ground of a house in Acre-place; the back of the privies alluded to forms a portion of the garden wall, and the stench from the c ess p oo l s i s so great that the family living i. ▪ n Acre-place are suffering from fever and other disorders, which th e i r me di cal attendant asserts arise from the nui sance complained of. The parish authorities▪ have been, applied to, but nothing is done to remedy the evil. In St. Pancras, Kentilh-town sub-district, at 18, Haverstock 'street, Camden-town, on the 9th of • September, the daughter of a labourer, aged 3 years, " confluent small-pox (1 week), vaccinated 2 weeks before death." Mr. Hacker adds, that " there a re seven persons ill w ith t h e same di sease in this house. I understand there is a dust-hole which is mast offen sive from the occupiers neglecting to have it emptied." Mr. Child, the registrar of Norwood sub-district, states that "diarrh oea is preval-nt in the district, more particularly in localities inhabited by the lower classes, and those who keep swine in close confined i places."

ASCENT OF BEN NV YVIS, Soon after emerging from this truly wonderful spot, we crossed the river by a wooden bridge, and, passing some cottages, directed our steps to the summit of Ben Wyvis. This we had occasionally seen from on board the steamer soon after passing Fort George, and, to our mortification, found it covered with newly fallen snow. Showers of snow fell all day on the mountain, visiting us in rain, so that we could only get glimpses of the top. These lucid intervals, how ever, we made the most of; as, the mountain being a huge shapeless mass, without taking accurate obser vations, we might never have reached the real summit. Upon asking a shepherd the best mode of ascent, he told us we could nut reach the " ilionument," as he termed the Cairn, that day, and that we were sure to be benighted. This put us to our mettle, and we never stopped a moment for three or four hours hard walking over hills, and through bogs, often knee deep in heather and peat moss alternately, till we came to the bottom of the last ascent, which was fearfully rugged, and the upper part covered with snow. Several miles above the fore-mentioned bridge the river is divided into two; the main branch emerging from Loch Glass, about eight miles in circumference, and the other descending by cataracts, through frightful ravines, from the summit of Ben Wyvis. We kept pretty close to the latter, which we crossed close to the steep ascent above alluded to. It WAS now half-past four, and before we got to the top it must have been at least six; but we were actually afraid to look at our watches, as there was now a cer tainty of our being benighted. The snow fell fast, and lay several inches deep, pretty hard frozen, among which, in many places, we had to struggle with hands as well as feet. The difficulty now was to find the " Monument," for we could not see above fifty or aixty yards in any direction. We agreed to separate, that we might have three chances instead of one, but nut farther than that we could hear a loud call. After a considerable time our young friend proved the lucky man, and shouted with him of antiquity, "I have found it! " This was indeed a joyful sound, though it may readily be conceived how much we were disappointed when, instead of one of the most commanding views in Scotland, extending over great part of the Atlantic and German Oceans, with many of the Hebrides, the Counties of Caithness, Suther land, Ross, Cromarty, Argyle, Inverness, Nairn, Moray, Banff, Aberdeen, and Perth, we could only distinctly see each other at the distance of a few yards ! Such, however, has since been the fate even of royalty herself en Lochnagar, so that we have the less reason to complain. Our triumph even in these circumstances was great on reaching the Cairn, which I ascended, and heightened by an additional stone, using snow instead of mortar. This mountain is nearly 4,000 feet high, and hag, perhaps, a larger base than any other moun tain in Great Britain. Being the most elevated ground north of Ben Nevis and the Braemar moun tains, the view is very little intercepted in any direc tion. It is, however, an ugly, savage-looking con cern ; and, being far removed from any inhabited district, none should attempt its ascent who have not an entire day at their disposal— " monstram horrendum ingens," and on this occasion it may be added, "cui lumen ademptum." I may here mention that the best starting place is Strathpeffer, which is ten miles from the top, while Dingwall is twelve. The mountain resembles a horse-shoe—the upper ridge being three or four miles from one ex tremity to the other, but rising very gradually from the end nearest Strathpeffer, which ought to he ascended first, and the ridge kept till the other end is reached, oa which stands the Cairn, and by which we ascended. In descending, we chose a less dangerous route, though frequently checked by ugly precipices, which, owing to falling snow and approaching night, it was not easy to avoid. Great though our difficulties had been, they were surpassed by what still lay before us, having to struggle through five or six miles of the worst description of bogs and quagmires, which few think of crossing, even in broad day, without a guide. Countless were the tumbles we met with, some of them so ludicrous, that had we not dreaded falling asleep, and lying among these horrid morasses all night, at the imminent risk of our lives, we could not have refrained from laughing heartily at each other and ourselves. Forward, however, we had to toil, far from knowing where we should emerge. Indeed, had it not been for the moon, it is more than probable that we must have wandered about in all directions, till we became completely exhausted with hunger and fatigue. At length we reached a peat road, by following out which we arrived at a shepherd's cottage. The inmates were all in bed ; but, on hearing of our disas trous circumstances, they were, with some difficulty, induced to get up and bring us some thin milk. We were here informed that Dingwall was the nearest place of accommodation. We had still between three and four miles to go, but had now a hard road under foot, and went on our way rejoicing. We soon reached the toll road between Dingwall and Strathpeffer, and in half an hour found ourselves snugly seated in the Caledonian Hotel, with every luxury at our command. It was now half-past ten ; and, when we sat down to supper, we bad eaten no food of any description for fourteen hours and a half, though we had walked at least 33 miles, over some of the wildest moors in Scotland. The innkeeper told us that gentlemen thought it a hard day's work from his house, and that , they never tried it without a guide."—Grierson Autumnal Rambles among the Scottish Mountains. FATHER GAVAZZI AND THI MOLESKIN JACKETS.. — Some days ago Father Gavazzi, after inspecting several of our local lions, paid a visit to Mr. Napier's foundry, in Washington-street. Immediately on entering the gate lead ing to the works, the Padre was recognised by several of the workmen, who hastened to communicate the fact to their fellows Like wildfire the intelligence spread, and in a few moments, by an almost spontaneous movement, some 300 or 400 of the stalwart and swarthy mechanics turned out into the square and manifested their sympathy with the cause of Italian freedom by greeting the patriotic orator with three vociferous and enthusiastic cheers. Father Gavazzi, who appeared to be highly gratified by the unexpected warmth of this reception, bowed several times respectfully to the con gregated workmen, after which they immediately resumed their various occupations. This unpremeditated demon stration recalls to recollection the widely different reception given to Haynau by the workmen in Messrs. Barclay and Perkins' brewery, and should teach a similar lesson to the tyrants of the Continent.— Glasgow Post. GLOUCESTE R AND DEAN FOREST RAILwAr.—In compliance with the wishes of the Severn Commissioners, the railway bridge over tlie weste r n arm o f th e r i ver , near Gloucester, has been constructed by Mr. Brunel with an opening bay of 45 feet width in the clear. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice TALFOURD and Mr. Barm MARTIN.) Henry Gregory, 18, was indicted yesterday fir the manslaughter of Daniel Michael Isaac. Mr. Robinson was counsel for the prosecution. It appeared that on the 19th of August the prisoner and some other persons were playing skittles at tie George and Dragon public-house, Hoxton, and upm the prisoner refusing to pay for some beer that le had lost the potboy called him "a thief." The pr.- soner then struck the potboy, and the deceased inter fered, and offered to fight the prisoner, and their stripped and fought several rounds, and both of then frequently fell to the ground. The deceased, in the course of the struggle, became insensible, and diel almost immediately. The fight was represented to 1e a fair stand-up one, and it appeared that when the prisoner was informed that his opponent was dead in expressed the greatest regret for what had occurrec, and procured water and did all that he could to re store the deceased. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter under mitigating circumstances, and he was sent ence & to he imprisoned for two months. Walter Whittaker, 24, was indicted for cutting and wounding Alfred Stride, with intent to do him grie. vous bodily harm. Mr. Locke and Mr. Payne prosecuted ; Mr. O'Brien defended the prisoner. It appeared that on the night of the 4th of Septem• her the prisoner and two other persons went into the Custom-house Stores public-house, Lower Thames street, and had some refreshment, and in consequence of the prisoner misconducting himself the landlady refused to serve him with any more liquor, and insisted upon his leaving the house. He would not do so, and she then called in the prosecutor, who is one of the City police, and at his entreaty the prisoner went out, but he came back almost directly, and expressed his determination to go into the house again. The officer advised him not to do's°, and put his hand upon his shoulder and requested him to go away, and the moment he did so the prisoner took a pipe that he was smoking from his mouth, and thrust it with great violence into the constable's face, at the same time exclaiming, " There, you -, take that." The blow was so violent that the pipe was forced into the nose of the prosecutor, and a portion of it was em bedded in the upper jaw so deeply that Mr. Childs, the surgeon to the force, who was called in upon the oc casion, was occupied for more than a quarter of an hour in extracting it. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of a common assault, and he was sentenced by Mr. Justice Talfourd to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for nine months. John Caffrey, 42, was indicted for wounding James Caffrey, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Mr. Carteen prosecuted. The prosecutor was the son of the prisoner, a lad 14 years of age. When the case was called on, the constable engaged in it informed the Court that he had gone away and could not be found, and he believed he did not intend to appear. Robert Crebo, a police-constable, was examined, and he stated that between 9 and 10 o'clock at night on the 4th of September, while on duty in March mont-street, Barton-crescent, he heard screams of "Murder" proceeding from Crescent-mews. He went to the place, and at No. 22 the sounds directed him to the top front room. He was refused admit tance, hut burst in the door, and he there saw the prisoner standing in the room with a redhot poker in his hand, which he was holding by, a cloth. The prisoner's son was stark naked and crying, and ap peared to have been burnt. Witness asked what was the matter, and the prisoner ordered him out of the room, and told him he had no business there. Wit ness asked the boy what had been the matter, and he said that his father had been beating him with a red hot poker, and he observed the marks upon his person where the redhot poker had been. The prisoner then ordered him to leave the house again, but he refused to go, and told him he was his prisoner, upon which he — struck him, a❑d his wife came into the room, and they both assaulted him, and forced him out of the place. He immediately procured assistance, and the prisoner was taken into custody, and as they were going to the station-house, he said that the boy was a bad boy, and he had chastised him for it. Eilward Harris, another constable, proved that he assisted the last witness to take the prisoner into custody, and he produced the poker, which he found in the fireplace, and which he said was still hot when he accompanied Crebo a second time to the house. Mr. Waldei s •rave, tue surgeon who examined the person of the boy, said that his back was severely bruised and burnt. There were also burns upon each of his arms and upon his chest, upon his thighs and upon his leg, and the skin was destroyed by the burn on the chest. The burns were .all of such a de scription as would be caused by the poker that had been produced. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, said that the boy behaved very badly and. continually robbed him, and he had punished him for his mis conduct, but he denied having burnt him. Mr. Baron MARTIN, in summing up, told the jury that the only question they had to decide was the in tent of the prisoner, for he had no hesitation in stat- ing that, however bad the conduct of the boy might have been, the use of such an instrument as a redhot poker was illegal and unjustifiable. If they were satisfied by the evidence that the prisoner really in tended to maim or disable his son, in that case they would find him guilty of the whole charge, but if they had any doubt upon the point the prisoner was clearly liable to be convicted of an assault. The jury, after deliberating a short time, found the prisoner Guilty of an assault, and Acquitted him of the felony. The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, said that the prisoner had been very properly convicted of about as inhuman an act as he believed had ever been brought to the notice of a court of justice. It was possible that the boy was a bad boy, and he would admit that this was probable ; but it was almost in credible that a father should have resorted to such an instrument as a redhot poker as a mode of punish ment. The boy had actually shown good feeling, for he had gone away from the court, no doubt, in the hope that by the want of his evidence his father would escape punishment. Fortunately for the ends of jus tice this was not the case, and the prisoner now stood convicted of this most shocking offence. The Court was in some difficulty with regard b the punishment, because they felt that the prisoner's fa mily must suffer by his being imprisoned for a long period ; hut, at the same time, they had a duty to perform, and they were bound to pass such a sen tence as would be likely to operate as an example, to protect children from being subjected to violence of such a description, and that people should be taught that if children did misbehave themselves they were not to be treated in this brutal manner. He then sen tenced the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for 15 calendar months. NEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) Robert Gazely, 48, horse dealer, was indicted for stealing a mare, valued at 41., the property of Benja min Stafford. The facts were briefly these :—The prosecutor was a horse dealer, and the prisoner was in the habit of obtaining customers for him, and in the present in stance had taken the mare and sold it, never paying the prosecutor. The jury found him Guilty. It was then proved that the prisoner bad been twice before convicted of felony, the last time for horse stealing, when he was transported for ten years, three years of which had been commuted, and he re turned home to this country last year. He was again transported for 20 years. In the case of Win. Bridger, who had been com mitted, with a woman named Saunders, from the Marlborough-street Police-court, the statement of Bridger, who alone was placed on his trial, was re turned with the depositions. Upon being placed in the hands of the Clerk of the Arraigns, it appeared that they had not been taken in accordance with the provisions of one of the statutes known as Jervis's Acts, which requires that a copy of the caution given to the prisoners should be appended to the depositions and precede the statement. This had not been done. The RECORDER said an omission of this character might cause the most serious consequences, and per haps tend to frustrate the ends of justice, as it became necessary, on account of the provisions of the Act, that proof of the caution having been given must be established before this Court. Upon this occasion the policeman was able to supply the deficency, by giving evidence of the fact; but the Court might upon another occasionbe without such evidence, and he trusted that in future no omission of this sort might occur. Mark Benjamin Miller and Henry Usher, two gentlemanly -looking young men, surrendered to take their trial upon an indictment charging them with having been guilty of indecent conduct in a public high way. Mr. Huddlestone, by the direction of the Court, prosecuted; Usher was defended by Mr. Ballantiue and Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Bodkin defended Miller. The facts of the case, which are unfit for publica tion, were of an extremely improbable character, and rested solely (as far as the absolute act was concerned) on the testimony of a man named Murphy, a park keeper in the Regent's-park, who depo s ed to seeing the two prisoners shortly before one o'clock in the day, on a Sunday, lying together on the grass in the Regent's-park, close to a very frequented thorough fare, and there commit the act imputed to them; there being at time a gentleman and some children at no great distance from them. The prisoners, when taken to the station, seemed much shocked at the charge, and protested their innocence, stating that the THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 18, 1851. officer was mistaken, that they were only lying there reading. On Miller was found a prayer-book. A great number of highly respectably witnesses gave the two prisoners a most unexceptionable cha racter. His LORDSLIIP having summed up, The jury Acquitted the prisoners. The COURT refused to allow the park-keepers their expenses. THIRD COURT. (Before the COMMON-SERGEANT.) Mary Ann Johnson, 28, spinster, was indicted for unlawfully neglecting to give and provide for Mary An❑ Johnson, the younger, aged 14 months, suitable food, drink, and other necessaries for her support. Mr. Huddlestone conducted the prosecution, which had been undertaken by the authorities of the London Union. The prisoner, a shabbily-clad, dissipated-looking young woman, who bore traces of having once been very handsome, pleaded " Not guilty," and continued to cry during the whole of the time she was in the dock. Mr. HUDDLESTONE having stated the case, called Jane Hunt, living at No. 2, Herring-court, Red Cross-street, who said that on the 22d of August the prisoner came and took a room in that house. She brought two children with her, one of which was the subject of the present inquiry, and another about four years old. The whole time she was in the house and till the day of her apprehension she was in a state of continual drunkenness. She stated herself to be the wife of a commercial traveller, and always seemed to have plenty of money, and at one time showed the witness two sovereigns that she had. The children were always crying, and annoyed the whole house. On Thursday, the 28th of August, the screaming was so violent that she went into the room, and there found the mother drunk, and the children in the most wretched state imaginable. The children and mother were lying on the bed without a particle of covering on them. The infant was crying for food, and by its side lay a piece of dry crust, from which it was trying to pick the crumb. Three of its fingers were matted together with filth. The mother was too much intoxicated to give it any food, and witness took it into her room, and washed it, and gave it some nourishing fool, and, seeing the state the mother was in, offered to bring it up with her own. This the pri soner would not listen to, and took it back into her own room again. The deceased continuing to cry she again went into the prisoner's room and found her still drunk and insensible, and the child was so bad that she thought it to be dying. She had some neighbours with her. They partly roused the prisoner, and offered to give the child some warm food, which she refused to let them do, and she and her neighbours then came to the determination of taking it away, which they did, but the poor little thing becoming rapidly worse, witness took it to Dr. Lloyd's, who directed her to give information to the police, as the child, if longer neglected, could not survive many hours, She then took the child home, and having given it some food, called in the police, to whom the prisoner was given in custody, and the child was ulti mately taken to the union. The prisoner would not ask the witness any ques tions, but stated that it was her that made her drunk, and ill-used her. Mr. Lloyd, surgeon, Basinghall-street, said, that when the child was brought to him it was fast sink ing from want of food and gross neglect, and could not have lived 24 hours longer. It was most fearfully emaciated and suffering from cutaneous disease, neglect, and dirt. He saw the child a few days after, when it had been under proper care, and it was so altered that he scarcely knew it. It bad since died of an inflammation of the lungs, not caused from its ill-treatment, though, probably, the shock to the system had destroyed its chance of recovery. Thomas Baley, of Circus-street, Bryanstone square, said that the prisoner had lodged in his house previously to coming to the City. She had when drunk fearfully neglected the child, and his wife had to take care of the children. She had been four times at the Marylebone Police-court for drunkenness, and on one occcasion was sent to prison for a month, and the children went to the workhouse. When sober she was very kind to the children. given him 3d. to get them, but the elder male pri soner refused to say anything. A Mr. Clevedon, a scaleboard maker, proved the sale to him about a fortnight or three weeks since of four of the prosecutor's candlesticks by the elder male prisoner, who had been i❑ his service for a lengthened period, upon a fictitious tale of distress, and that the female prisoner was in the frequent habit of calling at the premises to see him. James Johnson, a fellow-workman of the elder prisoner, also deposed to buying him, about three months ago, three of the stolen spoons, a pair of sugar tongs, and a timepiece, under the supposition t hat they were his own property, and produced the former articles, but could not do so with the timepiece, as he had disposed of that to a stranger some time since. When called upon for their defence the prisoners gave an improbable account of one portion of the charge and a general denial to the other; but The MAGISTRATE ordered them to be committed until that day week for the completion of the case, and to afford an opportunity of tracicg the rest of the property. CLERKENWELL. Two young. women, sisters, who gave their names Sarah and Rebecca Sharp, applied to Mr. Tyrwhitt under the following peculiarly distressing circum stances : It appeared that they were servants from Thrap stone, Northamptonshire, and their masters granted them a holiday in order to come to London to see the Great Exhibition. They left Thrapstone, accom panied by their eldest sister, Anna Smith, a married woman, and her iofant child, seven months old. On their arrival in London they took lodgings at a house in Bidborough-street, St. Pancras, and on Friday night they retired to rest with a view to attend the Exhibition on the following day. On Saturday morning, at about two o'clock, they were awoke out of their sleep by an alarm of" Fire," when they found the lower part of the house in flames, and were nearly suffocated with smoke. In their anxiety to save their lives they made their escape, leaving behind them their money and everything belonging to them. Anna Smith, their sister, who with her infant slept in an apartment in the upper part of the house, found it impossible to make her escape through the flames and dense smoke, and making her appearance at the window, she was urged to throw her infant out to the people below, and it was saved. The unfortunate mother then, in a state of frenzy, precipitated herself from the window, and, although the spectators endeavoured to save her, she fell with great force and injured herself so severely that she was instantly conveyed to the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's-inn-road, where the most prompt assistance was afforded her by Mr. Lane, the house surgeon, &c.; and she now lies there in a very preca rious state. The applicants had lost everything they had, and were destitute with the exception of the clothes they then wore, which were the benevolent gifts of the inhabitants of the locality in which the calamity occurred ; and their object in making this application—which they were induced to do through the friendly advice of others—was to solicit some aid to enable them to return to Thrapstone, Northamp tonshire. Mr. TYRITRITT directed that immediate inquiry should be made into the circumstances, and Turner, the officer, proceeded instanter, and, after proper investigation, found that an alarm of " Fire" had taken place at the house in Bidborough-street ; that Anna Smith was in the hospital, and the whole of the applicants' statements were true ; and it is only justice to add to the credit of a Mrs. Harris, the wife of a carpenter and undertaker of No. 25, l3idborough street, Burton-crescent, that she and her husband rendered every assistance to the unfortunate sufferers, and that Mrs. Harris is at present nurturing and suckling the infant of Anna Smith, the injured mo ther in the hospital. Mr. TYRVTIIITT said everything should be done for the applicants. John Hodges, 120, said that the prisoner was quite drunk when he took her into custody. The children were all over sores and nearly naked ; then- was no fire in the room, or any sign of victuals. He never saw such filth and misery. LAMBETH. Last evening as Mr. Elliott was leaving the bench, a young man, who gave the name of William Bird, was brought up in custody on a charge of passing a counterfeit half-crown at the pottery manufactory of Mr. Doulton, in High-street, Lambeth. Mr. Frederick Doulton deposed that, about an hour before the prisoner, who represented himself as a hawker of delf ware, called at the factory, and se lecting a jug of a particular pattern, the price of which was fourpence, tendered half-a-crown in pay ment. Having take❑ a bad half-crown about a fort night ago under precisely similar circumstances, and from a person who be had no doubt to be the prisoner, he was particular in examining the coin, and found it to be a counterfeit. It transpired in the course of the proceedings that the father of both of the children i 3 a wealthy city merchant, and allowed the prisoner an ample mainte. nance. PANIES' STOCK. From the Official List. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and she was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Sept. 17. (Before Mr. WITHAM and a Bench of Magistrates, at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell.) John Start, aged 35, was indicted charged with having unlawfully and violently assaulted Mary Ann Morehouse, with intent to ravish her. of the bedroom windows, and afterwards passed through the library door. Sergeant Marquard expected to obtain some of the property stolen on that day, and therefore prayed for a remand. The prisoner having declined to ask any questions, Mr. BEADON remanded him until Wednesday next.

The case has been very recently before the police magistrate, and the prosecutrix was submitted to a rigid cross-examination by Mr. Cockle, but she came out of the trial with her evidence in chief totally un shaken. Other evidence of a confirmatory nature having been given, Mr. Cockle addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, the Chairman summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The CHAIRMAN sentenced the prisoner to imprison ment with hard labour for 12 months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. Emilll Young, a young girl, was charged with having contemplated felony, under the following cir cumstances : Mr. R. Laidlaw, No. 34, Howland-street, said the prisoner was left in charge of his house yesterday. On his return home with his wife, about nine o'clock, the prisoner pretended to be in a great fright, stating that a man in a blouse had broken into the house, had knocked her down, had gone up stairs, and, after re maining some time, had come down with some thi ngs under his arm, with which he had left the house. Witness went up stairs and found a quantity of wear ing apparel and other property lying about the room. lower investigation rooms. The articles had been taken, some, from the clothes press and some fromwabosxit f n o o r n , e aond an e f th A police-constable as en made, but nothing was missed. From th e s t range character of the prisoner's story, and from finding her petticoat in the room where the robbery was said to have occurred, it was suspected that the prisoner had trumped up the statement . The p r i soner accounted for the petticoat being is the room by sa yi ng th at s h e had a struggle with the thief, and that he tore her petticoat off. Her gown also was torn open in the struggle. Police-constable llarris took the girl into custody, as suspicion was strong against her. There was another charge against her. Mrs. Elizabeth Rowland, of G rea t Tit c hfi e l d-street, said the prisoner was in her employ a short time ago as errand-girl. She gave the pri soner a sovereign to get change. The prisoner absconded with the money, and she had not heard anything of her until yes terday. Mr. BINGHAM said the last case was clear enough. He should discharge the prisoner on the first case, and commit her for trial on the last. WORSHIP-STREET. John Hanbury, 12 years of age, was charged with having burglariously entered the premis es o f M r. Isaac Lester, a tradesman, in Keate-street, Spit e '. fields, and stolen a timepiece, watch, and numerous other articles, and the prisoner's father, James Han bury, a scaleboard maker, and Sarah Bethell, a woman with whom he cohabited, were charged with having feloniously received the whole of the property, well knowing it to have been stolen. The prosecutor stated that the young e r p r i soner was formerly an errand-boy in his service, but was discharged some months ago, and had since lived with the other prisoners, who were tenants of his, and re sided in one of the opposite houses. His premises were broken into by burglars as long ago as the 18th of June last, when, after carefully cl os i ng t h e h ouse, he went to bed about one o'clock in the morn i ng , but was aroused about six h ours after with the intimation that his door was open, and upon going down stairs found that an entrance had been effected from the cellars into the shop, and that the latter had been completely ransacked and plundered. He first missed a timepiece off one of the shelves, the counter was strews over with tobacco, the remains of a quan tity the thieves had carried away with them, after emptying a number of jars; about five or six pounds weight of butter had been taken from one of the tubs, a quantity of biscuits, and even bread had been taken from the windows, a silver watch had been stolen from a table drawer in the parlour, and a pair of sugar-tongs and a number of silver and plated spoons and other articles had been carried away from other parts of the premises. It was quite manifest that the robbery must have been effected by some one surrep titiously obtaining admission to the cellars, and there, concealing himself until the family had retired to rests but, though immediate inforihation of the robbery was forwarded to the police, no clus to the perpetrators could be gained until seven and eight o'clock on the preceding evening, when he accidentally discovered four of his candlesticks, which had been also stolen, in the possession of a dealer in the Hackney road, and six more of his candlesti c ks in the possession of another dealer, in George-street, Shoreditch. On finding from the purchasers that that portion of the b p e ro en per s t o y d o i f sp vv os h e i d ch of hi b s constable and gave all three into custody, when the o y t h u e s e p b r i a s d o n b e e r e s , n female prisoner and the boy acknowledged having bpluncalled dered in a d a sold them, the latter stating that the woman had Both the half-crowns wereproduced by the witness, and there appearance was such as to deceive even an excellent judge. They are of the reign of George 111., and apparently a good deal worn, and their na tural silvery colour is so well simulated by electro typing as to render them most difficult of detection ; indeed, it is only by weighing or bending them that the counterfeit can be discovered. The prisoner, who gave a very unsatisfactory ac count of himself, was remanded for the attendance of the Mint solicitor. SO UTHITARK. Thomas Chedlow, who was remanded on Monday for uttering a counterfeit half-crown to the conductor of one of the Atlas omnibuses, appeared upon his re cognisances to answer the charge. The coin as well as the paper, found in the prisoner's possession at the time he was taken into custody, and having reference to the method of coat ing articles over with silver, were produced on this occasion. A clerk from the office of the Solicitor of the Mint attended for the prosecution, and stated that although the circumstances attending the uttering of the coun terfeit half-crown were pregnant with suspicion, yet, that if it was a first offence, he had directions not to proceed with the charge. Policeman Hyde, 245 M, in reply to a question from Mr. A'Beckett, said that since the former exa mination another charge of a similar description against the prisoner had been discovered. James Noble was then called, and stated that he is conductor of one of the Favourite omnibuses, and that on the night of Tuesday, the 9th instant, the prisoner got on the outside of the vehicle at the Angel, at Islington, and alighted near the Eagle Tavern, in the City-road. He tendered half-a-crown to pay his fare, and witness, although it was night, on examining it, discovered it to be counterfeit, and mentioned the fact to the prisoner, who expressed surpri se a n d d es ir e d him to give it back and he would give him a good one in return. Witness told him that he should insist on his remaining with the omnibus until they saes- a constable, to ascertain if he had any more bad money about him, to which he assented, and stood on th e steps of the omnibus until they met a policeman, to whom the matter was referred, and as he had no other bad money about him, and gave his address 23, Cullum-street, Fenchurch-street, witness declined giving him into custody. The prisoner wanted him to return the bad half-crown, saying that he had a I right to it, and that he intended to destroy it, but witness refused and kept it, and the fare having been paid the prisoner then walked away. The witness added that he had no doubt of the prisoner's identity. The counterfeit half- , crown was here handed to the Magistrate, who examined it, as also did the clerk of the Solicitor of the Mint ; and on comparing it with the one uttered to the conductor of the Atlas omni bus on Saturday night by the prisoner, they were pronounced to have been cast in the same mould, and the thin coat of silver on each to be done by the same process. Allen, 257 G, confirmed the witnesses's t es ti mony as related to the identity of the prisoner, and added that the conductor refused to give him into custody, saying that he could not quit his omnibus to go to the station-house. The policeman also identified the counterfeit half-crown produced, as the one which the conductor had shown to him on the night the trans action occurred. The prisoner was committed, but he will be brought up again on Friday, and was held to bail, himself in 801., and two sureties of 401. each, with twenty-four hours' notice. WANDS WORTH. Charles Wilson, aged 24 years, a cabdriver, living at 1, Ship-yard, Temple-bar, was brought up before Mr. Beadon, charged with being concerned, with a man named George Crooks, who stands remanded at the Hammersmith Police-court on the charge of com mitting a burglary at the residence of Mr. Christopher Murrietta, of the Q ueen ' s • ro ad, Kensington, in bur glariously entering the premises of Mr. Abraham Lyons Moses, of West-hill, Wandsworth , and steali ng therefrom a quantity of plate, coats, linen, and other articles of considerable value. _ Sergeant - said—On the 16 th of July last information was received that a burglary had been committed upon Mr. Moses' residence in West-hill, and a large quantity of property stolen. On Tuesday afternoon the prisoner was apprehended, on being searched at the station-house he was found to be wearing a shirt marked "D. Long," which was afterwards identified as the property of Mr. Moses' butler. The prisoner was asked how be became pos sessed of the shirt, and he said he formerly lived with Crooks, and he supposed that Crooks had taken his shirt and substituted that one. Crooks was employed as a gardener at Mr. Moses' residence about seven years since, and therefore had a perfect knowledge of the premises. Sergeant Marquard, 21 V, said he accompanied the last witness and apprehended the prisoner in Gray's Inn-lane, in front of his ` master's yard. He said he knew Crooks, an d had heard that he was then in trouble. The prisoner carried a coat upon his arm, and said that he had received it from Crooks. Daniel Long, butler to Mr. Moses, at Wandsworth, identified the shirt and colt cooed upon the prisoner sts his property. They were both taken from the ser vants' hall on the night of the burglary. The thieves ()fleeted an entrance by placing a ladder against one CANALS. .; IDividend 1 Names of E Dividend Names of Companies. ..g. per Price. Companies. ~-- -4 per Price. " A Annani.
