(From the United Service Gazette of this day.) Taiaors FOR IRELAND.—Some uneasiness is being felt by the authorities at the present restless state of our Irish neighbours, so much so, that additional re cruiting parties have been dispatched from many of the regiments stationed in Ireland, to fill up the vacancies with all dispatch ; and it is rumoured, that in the event of the continuation of the agitation, a regiment of cavalry and another of infantry will be placed in orders to embark for the Emerald Isle. GARRISON or DUBLIN.—In consequence of the ex citement, in Dublin at the Catholic meeting, held at the B.otundo on Tuesday, the military authorities caused the following troops to be held in readiness to turn out at a moment's notice, should their services be re qu;.red in aid of the civil power, viz., a troop of the s'.h Dragoon Guards, a wing of the 14th, 27th, 35th, '39th, 62d, and 89th Regiments, and the several guards and picquets of the garrison to be reinforced. A TROUBLESOME MAJOR.—We understand that a certain senior major of a regiment, not far removed from "90," has received a hint from the Horse Guards that his service will not be longer required beyond the end of this month, and that if he does not apply for permission to sell or retire, the Com mander-in-Chief will find means of otherwise provid ing for him. CouR.T-MARTIAL AT WEEDON.--Colonel Simpson, Conur.andant of Chatham Garrison, has proceeded to Weet'..ion to preside at a court-martial on an officer of the. 4th King's Own, it having been found inconves nt to try more than one at a time.

MINING INTELLIGENCE, (From the Mining Journal of this day.) The - crippled condition of railway property at a period when it was expected to have resumed ono of its most flour :skiing aspects, is producing a gradual withdrawal of cap Atal from that gigantic interest-one of the effects of vefeich will be, no doubt, to increase investments in relines. An effect is, indeed, already perceptible in our market, not only in the increased amount of business, but the growing and extended inquiry for mining shares, even of the speculative classes, in which more in amount is now doing than in dividend mines. A remarkable degree of success is also attending the numerous explo rations in the eastern part of Cornwall and the Tavi stock district, for the shares in which great activity pre vails, and being in some cases at a considerable advance on the original cost, a fresh stimulus is given to the ima•tket, of a legitimate and satisfactory character. In the Metal Market-Copper is in fair demand and eteady in price. Lead is without material alteration. Tin, English and foreign, is very quiet, firm in price. Tin-plates are the turn easier to buy.

HUGO'S IMPRISONMENT. The following i 3 the copy of an address presented to M. Charles Hugo, from the journalists of Great Britain and Ireland : TO M. CHARLES HUGO. " Sir—We think it will be not deemed an ill-timed interference, if, as members of the newspaper press of a friendly country, we express oar indignation at the flagrant outrage, that in your cruel imprisonment has been committed on the rights we, in common, possess. The literati of Europe, and of your sister Republic across the Atlantic, have long looked with astonishment at the hackled press of France; and your case presents features which seem especially to justify a remonstrance. We feel, Sir, that the discussion upon questions of such vast import to humanity, as that of capital pumishment, if it is to produce any valuable result, must be free and unawed; that the civil power steps out of its lawful Sphere when it enters the studio of the journalist and gags the mouth of the writer, who endeavours, as he thinks, to apply the laws of Christianity and the deduc tions of reason to practical life; and it b , came ludicrously tyrannical when it declares such " institutions" as the guillotine, to be unapproachable ground. Such a power would have made Portia pay the bond that Shylock held. A ruthless and insane despotism is striving to substi tute a reign of brute force for that of reason as ex pressed in the popular will; it creates sepulchres, and declares the silence of death to be peace; it manicles the limbs, and boasts that its sway is undisputed. You, Sir, are one of its victims. England has reaped innu merable blessings from a free press; happily amongst us the authorities of the State, as well as the masses of the people, recognise that freedom as the dearest safeguard of our liberties, and as an educational agency of the highest importance. May France—enlightened and ge nerona—soon see that, by the network in which she en tangles her gifted writers, she is crippling her energies and disarming herself in the presence of gigantic foes. We trust that this spontaneous expression of our sympathy will, in some degree, lessen the harshness of your vexatious position, and render less painful the sense of injury which must accompany a breach of justice, and a miserable, if not altogether wilful misunderstanding of the purest motives.

The following is a copy of the article which led to M. Hugo's imprisonment : " THE EXECUTION OF MONTCHARMONT. " Four days ago, in an open 'quare of a French town, and in the face of day and civilisation, the law, that is to say, the divine and sacred force of society, laid hold of a wretched man, who plunged and kicked, and having bound him neck and heels, dragged him by the hair of the head to the scaffold, bleeding from his lacerated skin. Four days ago, before a population in profound consternation, the law, for an hour together, wrestled with crime. What had this man done against society? He had killed. What was society doing to thi s man? Why, making him a martyr. Partizans of capital punishment, what was your object in bringing this wretchedassassin to the guillotine? To sho w appa rently to all, human justice inits force and power—to raise in the minds of the masses the sentiment of right, by calling on them to assist at the punishment of a vile creature—to accomplish, in fact, a solemn, im posing, and terrible act. What have you done? You have committed a violent, horrible, and regretable act ; instead of enlisting the crowd to the side of the law, you have almost made them, ranged them, on the side of the sufferer! This man, who bad a little before been an object of horror, you change into an object of pity. Yuu employ two, then tour, then I know not how many, to kill this man, who struggled against being put to death. The first executioner failed, then you call a second; at length, atter half a day of toil and efforts, you succeed in pu , ting an end to him, and you wip e off the blood from your knife, and the swe,t from y our b ro w. No ! you have not been imposing —you have not been solemn —no, you have not been te rri bl e . B e i t we ll d one or ill d one , an execution is never a good sight for society to behold. Whatever be the hand which commits it, a homicide is never moral teaching. However honest and conscientious may be your tribunsls and your judges, it will never be by killing that you will prove thou must not kill.' Modern society has condemned the law du talion (of retaliation), to practise it is the reverse of progress; it is to take from society, from justice, and from the mag i s tracy, a portion of their proper consideration. Each time you effect a public exe c ution you cause the law to descend in national respect in an inverse ratio to the height of your scaffold. If you will preserve your barberous penalty of death, do as th e y do in America— do not show, but hide yourself I Do not invite all France, the whole press, all eyes to see you, and all hearts to judge you, when pm are executing, and par ticularly when your executioners do not know their trade, and your gu ill o tines are as badly made as your laws. For our p a rt we are profoundly afflicted, and even alarmed for all those dear and sacred interests on which public ' tranquility reposes. We protest, and will wretchedhiseyes evheernsociety,protest,to against those spectac les of another a g e, w forgettinga horrible death, s e human being on the way an im ago o f Ch r ist, which he does not look at.

There are some amusements which never pall by repetition, but, on the coutrary, the remembrance of pleasure we have already derived from the enjoy ment, gilds many a dull hour in the day's tedious ness with bright anticipations of relaxation in time to come. We have all of us experienced moments when, harassed and fatigued with the cares consequent on the common lot, we would gladly repose undisturbed by conversation, and welcome whatever change might wean us from the mental contemplation of annoyances besetting our path, to guide our thoughts into some ideal channel more diverting. It is not every one can boast the sweet solace of home where a cheerful welcome is ever ready to greet his return at the conclusion of the toilsome labours of the day. It is not, we repeat, the happy lot of all to hail the close of his morning labour as the commencement of his evening's placid enjoyment. Far from so desirable a reality is the fate of many. Those who doubt the fact that with the cessation of periodical mental or bodily exertion ennui does not usurp the place of lassitude engendered by a dull task, need only visit the clubs and hotels frequented by the released employe, and ascer tain how he wiles away the two tedious hours before summoned to the fleeting bliss of an eight o'clock dinner. Listlessly staring from the window, or per tinaciously wearying with his vapid remarks the pa tience and comfort of some early feeding wretch destined to sufferance in a night train, the idler slowly saunters from room to room a nuisance to himself, and a pest to every one. The very leisure which during the day he has sighed for, he cannot appreciate when placed at his disposal. He wants occupation—something to amuse without fatiguing, a recreation to enjoy devoid of personal exertion. In no place throughout London can an hypochon driac so situated find panacea for his woes to such complete annihilation of his afflictions as at Batty's Hippodrome. Rejoicing in the cool air of the summer breeze, with that consideration of all considerations at command—absence of the greatest of tortures, want of space for the legs ; with excellent music to charm the ear, and ever-varying miracles to arrest the eye, it is strange indeed if the visitor does not return to the club in better humour than he left it, loudly re commending adoption of the same remedy to all his friends who can devote from six to eight o'clock to the full enjoyment of such unrivalled performances. None who have once visited the Hippodrome but are sure to return, but with a solitary regret; that, of the amusements being unavoidably curtailed as the twilight encroaches on the evening. This defect, however, could easily be rectified were the per formances to commence at five. From our earliest childhood we ever had a predilection for Astley's, and what boy has not? we were wont to regard the small animals of our own size, covered with wreaths and spangles, as beings of a superior order ; and as recollection of the rapidity with which the holidays were drawing to a close forced itself on our juvenile remembrance, many a sad sigh escaped our bosom at the comparison which their happy lot pre sented, when contrasted with the titilating anticipa tions of our coming fate. Had the Hippodrome ex isted in those days, we feel convinced we would eagerly have exchanged places even with one of the equestrian monkeys, and that too without receiving a difference. We were glad to hear the result of Mr. Batty's spirited enterprise has fully equalled his hopes, and we may truly add, as he richly deserves. Judging by the crowds who unavoidably are nightly refused admittance, the public in general fully coincide in our opinion. To leave town with out visiting the Exhibition would demonstrate very bad taste, but to quit London without seeing the Hippodrome would be tantamount to travelling a great distance for the purpose of inspecting the Tower, and then coming away without looking at the horse armoury. NAVIGABLE BALLOONS. The balloons made for M. Petin were removed the day before yesterday from the Palsis National, and will, in the course of a few days, be placed over the immense car or vessel building in a large piece of ground in the Rue Marbeuf. This vessel is now so far advanced that the spectator is able to form an idea of the plan on which M. Petin hopes to render his balloon-vessel na vigable. The motive power is on the screw principle, worked by two small steam-engines, and appears to be fully equal to the purpose intended. The most remark able parts of the affair, however, are the leaves or wings with which it is supposed the navigator will be able to ascend or descend at will. If this apparatus should suc ceed, navigation in the air will be no problem, and will be even less expensive tban any other means of locomo tion, for the gas in the balloons will not be discharged, as is now done, but will remain in reservoirs, and it the envelope be sound, and proper space be lett for dilatation, it may serve for months. The balloons will be enclosed within a framework, and so disposed as to offer no re sistance, but rather facilitate the progress of the vessel. We understand that most of the scientific men who have examined the vessel and the modes of navigation proposed by M. Petin have signified their approbation of his theory, but they have still doubts as to the prac tical results. The frame work of the vessel, which is more than 200 feet in length, appeared to us to be too slight to resist a violent storm, and a descent if sudden would certainly demolish it; but if the inventor, who, it is said, has devoted the whole of his fortune, should ob tain the results that he anticipates, he will be able so to govern his vessel as to descend as gradually as he pleases. It is said that, in about a fortnight, he will be ready for his first experiment.—Galignani. BANK OF ENGLAND. (From last night's Gazette.)

NATtritDilY LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPI CY. Aug. 22. (Before Mr. Commissioner FANS.) IN RE CARSTON HOLTROUSE, The bankrupt was a r•ugar-bruker, sugar-dealer, and wine-merchant in Great Tower-street. His debts are 7,1891 ; the assets have realised 1,3001. This was the certificate meeting. Mr. Matthews opposed, Mr. Lawrence supported. Mr. MATTHEWS was willing that his Honour should give his judgment upon the certificate as the case against the bankrupt stood at the close of the exami nation meeting. The COMISISSIONEE—The case against the bankrupt may have been then fully investigated ; not so the circumstances in his favour. I should like to hear what Mr. La wrance has to say on behalf of the bankrupt. Mr. MATTHEWS—ID that case I shall feel it my duty to call the leading features of the case (as at present heard) to the recollection of the Court, and shall also feel at liberty to introduce new matter. The CoMMIsSIONER — You can do so. Mr. MATTHEWS proceeded—As a sworn broker of the city of London, the bankrupt had neglected his duties in not keeping a proper book of his transac tions. He was clearly bound by statute to take this course. He had violated the statute in another re spect. In place of charging brokerage to the vendor he had charged it to the purchaser. The reason fur this was obvious ; the bankrupt wished to conceal from the vendors the character of the trade that he was pur suing. Upon purchases and sales to the extent of 37,0001. the bankrupt had had an average loss of of about three per cent., the goods having been ge nerally sold a few days after their purchase. In scarcely one instance had there been a profit. In a few instances the goods were sold at the cost price ; in others they were sold at losses varying from 5 to 3 per cent., the average loss upon transactions to the amount of 37,0001. being, as he had stated, somewhat beyond 3 per cent. It was also to be observed that the bankrupt had, during the few months next pre ceding his bankruptcy, increased his account with Messrs. Conway from 5341. to 815/., and with Messrs. Whistler and Scrivens, from 1,508/ : to 1,701/ , The COMMISSIONER—I do not think this very ma terial. Mr. MATTHEWS continued—He should not charac terize the bankrupt as one who had recklessly carried on his trade at great expense, and thus dissipated the property of his creditors. His object appeared rather to have been to keep his head above water, by assum ing the appearance of a wholesale dealer in Mincing lane, and living at a moderate rate of expenditure. It was by maintaining this appearance that he had been able to commit his depredations upon the public purse. Although in 1849 the bankrupt owed 5,0641. he had not a vestige of sugar on his premises, or under his own control ; the goods were purchased on credit, and sold the same day, or nearly so, for cash at a positive loss. Losses had been thus incurred to the extent of 1,4001., and of these losses the bankrupt's wine creditors had particular cause for complaint, as but for them the bankrupt might have kept his ground. All his profits in the wine trade he was more than sinking in the sugar trade, and this by adopting a principle of business most unhealthy and injurious to the fair trader. During this time the bankrupt was keeping up the appearance of a steady fair taader, and carefully ab stained from disclosing the mode upon which he was conducting his business. The result was this—the bankrupt now owed 7,1891., and his estate would probably pay a dividend of about 2s. in the pound. The COMMISSIONER—And of the assets I find that ❑ot one sixpence is produced by the bankrupt's stock of sugar. Mr. MATTHEWS continued—He had also to com plain that the bankrupt had obtained a loan from Mr. Moore by means of false representations. The bankrupt had borrowed two sums of 100/. each from Mr. Moore, and on one occasion be had represented him self to be carrying on a most profitable business, so much so that he thought he should soon be able to retire from it with a competency. He would, how ever, call Mr. Moore. _ Mr. Moore was called—He was a confectioner at Holborn-hill. O❑ the 21st of February he had lent the bankrupt 1001. on his promissory note payable on demand. In October, 1849, he bad similarly lent the bankrupt 1001. On that occasion the bankrupt bad assured him that he was doing a very excellent busi ness, and that his circumstances were such that the only difficulty in the way of his retiring from trade was the getting a young man to go into partnership with him. Their money transactions had been ♦ery extensive, and he had always cherished the very highest respect for the _bankrupt, so much so that if any person had whispered a word against his charac ter he should have ordered him out of his house. The bankrupt told him in October, 1849, that he was short of money, in consequence of having to give long credit in the wine trade, and he (Mr. Moore) thought this was very probable, the bankrupt having an ex tensive connexion with the aristocracy at the West end. In reply to Mr. LAWRANCE, the witness said his charge to the bankrupt for loans was at the rate of 10 per cent. He was present at the meeting of creditors when an offer of 55. in the pound was made. Mr. Matthews objected to the offer on behalf of Messrs. Conway. He (Mr. Moore) had asked the bankrupt to give him a policy of insurance, so that he might be paid in full after the bankrupt should have received his certificate. The policy was to contain a covenant to keep up the premiums, so that the debt was to have been paid in full. In reply to Mr. Matthews, Mr. Moore said he rather thought that both Messrs. Travers and Messrs. Conway objected to ac cept the composition, and that they did so on the ground that the bankrupt's conduct required investi gation with respect to the mode in which he had pur sued his sugar trade. Mr. LAWRANCE addressed the Court for the bank rupt. He bad a somewhat painful task to perform. The bankrupt had passed the age of three score years and ten. His career had been one of unimpeachable integrity. He had brought up with great credit to himself a large family, one of whom was at the Bar, and another in the Church. The bankrupt's losses in the course of his trading had been unfairly magnified. It was true that his losses by sugar had been 1,0371.; but if from this were deducted, as they ought to be, the bankrupt's profits of upwards of 6001. upon his wine trade, to carry on with success which losses on the former might have been unavoidable, the balance of the bankrupt's trading during the period in ques tion was no more than a loss of 4181. Granting that the bankrupt's losses upon his sugar transactions to the extent of 37,0001. had been three per cent., they ought to look also to the favourable circumstances of the case. The bankrupt's expenditure had been most moderate; members of his own family were creditors to the amount of 1,0501.; there had not been the slightest preference; in fact, the solitary improper conduct in respect to the sugar was to outweigh all the other and numerous circum stances in his favour. His Honour, on a former oc casion, had well said, in language better than any that he, Mr. La wrance, could command, that " the elas ticity of hope with which men in business indulged must not be too strictly curbed by fear of bankruptcy," and in this case there was good rea.on for believing that the bankrupt cherished a hope that he might overcome his difficulties. It should not pass without notice that nearly the whole of the creditors—includ ing Messrs. Whistler and Co., creditors for nearly 1,7001., and Mr. Moore—were willing to accept the composition offered by the bankrupt, and he hardly thought that Mr. Moore could now have been a will ing witness after what he had stated, that he had lent his particular friend money at the rate of 10 per cent., and sought to get the old man of seventy to mortgage his future earnings in order to secure the payment of his debt in full. He called upon the Court to take that large and liberal view of this case that was its wont in others, and to grant the bankrupt an immediate certificate. His LloNoua said that in a case of such very great importance he should not think of giving an imme diate judgment. He would grant the bankrupt pro tection to the 4th of September, and give his judg ment before he left for his vacation. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 22. (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) HOLLINS V. CROSS. In this case, in which the jury retired to reconsider their verdict, they returned, finding for the plaintiff, damages 2001. ROOKER V. THE BIRKENHEAD, LANCASHIRE, AND CHE.• SHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY. Mr. Knowles, Q.C., Mr. Joseph Pollock, and Mr. Holland appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, Mr. Crompton, and Mr. Monk for the de fendants. The action was brought by the plaintiffs to recover damages for the serious injuries which he sustained by a collidon which took place on the railway of the de fendants, on the 30th of April last. It appeared from the opening of the Learned Counsel, that the plaintiff was employed in the paving department of the town of Manchester,. at a salary of 1041. a year, and also prac tised privately as a surveyor. He was 46 years of age, and up to the period of the accident which occa sioned the present action was a hearty and robust man. He resided i n W a t er l oo - roa d , Manchester, and having no family took in a lodger named Davidson, who was with him on the day in question, and who was one of th ose w h o un f or t una tely lost their• lives. The 30th of April last was the " Cup day" at the Chester races, and the defendants' railway bei▪ ng the shortest roate ftom Manchester to Chester, large numbers of persons took advantage of the cheapness of the fares and went to see the race, and amongst them were the plaintiff and his friend. After remain ing on the course during the day, in the evening they repaired to the station for the purpose of being con- EVE Ikt T AUGUKT OS, veyed back to Manohes. - er, and when they arrived at the station n it less than 5,000 persons were assembled on the platform. Placards had been posted, adver tising that trains would leave the station for Man chester as soon as they could be filled, and they started accordingly. One left at half-past five o'clock; another some little time after; and a third about ten minutes before seven o'clock. This train, which consisted of between 18 and 24 carriages, was crowded with passengers, and drawn by an engine called the Druid, which proved totally inadequate to draw so heavy a load, for it took about 40 minutes to draw the train to Frodsham, a distance of about ten miles. Having waited some little time at Frodsham it proceeded on its way, but at so slow a pace that it took 20 minutes to go from Frodsham to the entrance of the Sutton tunnel, though the distance was only two miles. About a quarter of an hour after the train drawn by the Druid left Chester, another train, in which the plaintiff and his friend were passengers, left that station, which, consisting of only 16 car riages, and being drawn by a more powerful engine than the Druid, proceeded at a faster speed, and consequently came up with the Druid and its train at the Frodsham station. Here it was detained by the station master ten minutes, to allow the Druid to proceed ; but this detention was not sufficient, for the train in which the plaintiff was over took the Druid again at the Sutton tunnel, but, know ing that the Druid was shortly in advance, they slackened their speed and endeavoured, on joining the Druid's train, to propel it forward from behind ; but its endeavours were of little assistance. Whilst these proceedings were going on it did not appear that mea sures had been taken to stop the progress of those trains which were known would be following, and the result was that another train did come up, drawn by the Albert, a more powerful engine than either of the others, and having no notice that the former trains were proceeding slowly, it came up at its usual speed and dashed into the tunnel. The tunnel was full of smoke, and in a minute or two the Albert came into collision with the second train, dashing into it, and producing the dreadful calamity which occurred. They then had three trains in the tunnel ; one had struck against another, and bad knocked the carriages in a mass ; there were three engines working, and upwards of 1,000 human beings altogether in that tunnel, without a light, a guard, or any security that in a short time another train would not be coming up, to add to the general confusion. The plaintiff, with three others, was lying under a carriage with his face to the ground—the four being, to all appearance, crushed to death. They were, eventually, extricated; three of the persons were found to be totally dead, and the plaintiff was to all appearance, deprived of life, but in about twenty minutes he showed signs of animation. Every care was given to him at the moment, but his thirst could not be allayed for a considerable time. Ultimately surgical assistance was obtained, and the plaintiff was conveyed to Manchester, and placed in the care of Mr. Burgess, the surgeon. Two addi tional surgeons were then called in, and the plaintiff was not expected to survive. Sixteen weeks had now elapsed since the accident took place, during which time the plaintiff had been kept on his back, it not being deemed safe to raise him up even for the purpose of making a better examination of the in juries he had received. One of his legs had both bones broken—not an ordinary fracture—the bones were protruding some five inches from the skin, and were mashed rather than fractured. His left arm was broken, and his breast bone was supposed to have received serious injury. In addition to the surgeons mentioned, Mr. Jordan had to be called in as con sulting surgeon, and the surgical attendance alone up to the present time would come to nearly 300/. ; and for many and many a day those ex penses would have to be continued. He (the Learned Counsel) believed, on the whole, the jury would come to the conclusion that reasonable dili gence had not been used, and then the only question would be, what compensation they would award to this unfortunate man for the injuries which the ne gligence of the defendants had occasioned. Here was one who ought to be in the prime of life and the ful ness of health and strength, reduced to a maimed if not a perfectly crippled condition. He asked them to think of those sixteen weeks of pain and agony that the unfortunate man had had to bear, and also of his succeeding life—shortened beyond any doubt—de prived of all those sources of enjoyment which life conveyed to the perfect and the healthy, and all through the defendants' negligence, and which the slightest prudence and forethought might have avoided. He was aware that no money could amply compensate for an injury like this ; but though it might not compensate, it would do much to alleviate ; and he would leave the case in the hands of the jury, believing they would come to the conclusion that the defendants were utterly without excuse, and that they would give ample damages, in proportion to the extreme severity of the accident sustained by the plaintiff. The Learned Counsel then called Mr. John Gibson, the secretary, and M;, John Crichly, the station master at Chester, who proved the state of the line, the times of the departure of the trains from Chester, and thegeneral arrangement which had been made for carrying passengers on the line. Other witnesses were also called, one of whom stated that he saw the trains go into the tunnel, and that they appeared to go in together. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS then addressed the jury for the defendants, and contended that no sufficient case of negligence had been made out against the com pany ; but even if the jury should come to the con clusion that there was some negligence, he asked them whether they did not think that 1,0001. would be rea sonable and fair compensation for the injury whtch the plaintiff had sustained ? His LORDSHIP, in summing up, told the jury that, in his opinion the company had not taken due pre caution to guard against accidents which were likely to occur from the great increase of traffic which had taken place; the jury would, therefore, find for the plaintiff, giving such damages as they thought rea sonable. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 1,5001. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) Ann Shaw, 27, was charged with having, at Ashton under-Lyne, on the 15th of;June last, wilfully mur dered her infant child. Mr. Pollock and Mr. Millward appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Monk defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner, who is an Irish woman, residing at a house in Lees, near Ashton under-Lyne, kept by a woman named Fogg, and earned her living by washing. Her sister, who re sided near her, had often accused her of being in the family way, and although she had been confined a year or two before in Ireland, she denied that she was in that state at the time in question, though she was large from another cause which had ceased. On Sunday, the 15th of June, as a man named Adshead was proceeding through Cockfield, a few hundred yards from Mr. Fogg's house, he found a child newly born, lying dead on the grass, wrapped up in brown paper, over which was a piece of bedticking, and also a piece of print. The child was dead, havi ng a piece of thin cord round its throat, its feet tied up to its neck, and its arms folded across its breast, so that it was doubled up like a ball. It was then taken to Mr. Elliott's, the surgeon, who made a p os t - mortem examination, and on applying the usual tests, he gave it as his opinion that the child had been born alive, that it was fully grown, and that death had been caused by the cord which was found round the neck having caused strangulation. The police then proceeded to make i nqu i r i es , an d th e prisoner was examined by the me di ca l man , w h o gave it as his opinion that she had been delivered, but could not state how rec en tl y . Th ey t h en searc h e d the prisoner's room, and in a box, which she acknow ledged to be hers, some brown paper was found, and also some ticking, and a piece of print. On compar ing these with the ticking and the print found with the body of the child, they resembled each other in all respects. Some of these the prisoner acknowledged to the police were hers, and wondered how they had been found where it was described they had been. In addition to this evidence, the prosecution relied upon marks which were found at the bottom of the pri soner's box, and which led those who saw them to the conclusion that they might have been caused by a new-born child having been laid in it, and these marks were only the impression of the body and head, a n d not of the legs of the child, which would have bee n the case had the child's legs been tied up to its nec k, as the legs of the child in question were found t o b e. Various witnesses who resided in the house with the prisoner, and who slept in the same ruom with her, stated that they had observed that she had increased in size. One of them had given her some medicine to alleviate her sufferings, which she did not understand proceeded from pregnancy, but fr om anot h er cause. The witnesses likewise stated tbat a child could not have been born in the bedroom of the prisoner with out their hearing or being aware of it. The under clothes of the prisoner and other linen which had stains upon them were adduced to show that a birth had taken place, but the medical man did not assert confidently that the marks found would inevitably lead him tothatconclusion. At the close of the case for the prosecution, Mr. MONK asked his Lordship whether there was any occasion for him to address the jury, 28 there was no evidence that the prisoner had been delivered of a child ; but the jury seemed desirous that the Learned Counsel should address them. Mr. MONK then addressed the jury, and said that there was no evidence whatever to support the charge of murder against any person whatever, and that the mode and manner in which the child was found, at most would only show that the person, whoever she was, who had been delivered of this child had en deavoured to conceal the birth, by disposing of the body ; but he would contend, with the greatest con deuce, that there was no evidence whatever in the j whole case which could justify them io coming to the conch.vion that the prisoner had been delivered of any child at all. His LORDSHIP having summed up, Tne jury returned a ver,iict of Not Guilty. 1 POLICE INTELLIGENCE. M ANSION-H US E. CASE OF ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER BT A POLICEMAN. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) After the examination of several other witnesses, Mr. Lewis addressed the bench at considerable length, and contended that the evidence did notjustity the com mittal of the prisoner. In the coarse of Mr. Lewis's address Lee again in terrupted the proceedings, by denying the truth of cer tain statements made by that gentleman, and was im mediately removed from the court by the direction of Mr. Alderman Wilson. At the conclusion of Mr. Lewis's address the further hearing was adjourned to Tuesday next. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. George Roberts, a young man of very feminine appearance, dressed in female attire, and who stated that he was an artificial florist, staying at the White Hart Tavern, Bishopsgate-street Without, was yester day brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with steal ing two gold bracelets, value 61., the property of Mr. Henry Smith Emery, of No. 31, Welbeck-street, Cavendish-square. Mr. Emery, it appeared, went on Thursday night to a fancy dress ball, at Weippert's Rooms, Davies street, Berkeley-square, dressed in the character of the Prince in Cinderella, having on his wrists the bracelets named in the charge. About three o'clock yesterday morning some altercation took place be tween the complainant and prisoner about the dancing, whereupon the prisoner, forgetting his feminine cha racter, struck the complainant in the face with his fists. Prosecutor was then surrounded by several of the prisoner's companions, and, after being hustled about, the prisoner came up to him, and tore his bracelets from his wrists. Defendant followed up this attack by destroying the dress which complainant wore. Complainant ran out of the rooms, and, having procured the attendance of a police-constable, gave the prisoner in charge. He was searched at the sta tion, but the bracelets had not been found. The prisoner, in a very feminine tone of voice, said, in answer to the charge, that he was at Weippert's dancing-rooms on Thursday night, when the complainant came into the room with a long pipe stuck in his cheek, and placed himself in the centre of a set of quadrilles in which he was dancing. He told him to stand on one side, and on his refusing to abate the nuisance he (defendant) left the rooms for the purpose of speaking to some person about com plainant's conduct, and as he was about returning the prosecutor came up to him with a constable, and gave him in charge for stealing his bracelets. Mr. BINGHAM — Pray, what are you, and how do you get your living ? Defendant—l have only been from Manchester six weeks, and am an artificial florist by trade. lam at present staying at the White Hart Tavern, Bishopsgate-street Without. Mr. BINGHAM —I shall order you to be put back till two o'clock, and direct the officer to make some inquiries about you at the White Hart. The prisoner was then locked up, but as soon as he was in the cell he admitted to the officer that he had given a wrong address, and that he would die before he gave his right one. The prisoner was then brought into court and re manded until Wednesday next. If 0 HIP-STREET. A respectable-looking young woman, who gave the fictitious name of Mary Harris, and refused to give her real name or address, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hemmill, charged with dashing pepper into the eyes of a shopman, and stealing a card containing 41 gold wedding-rings from the house of Mr. Charles Alexander Moore, a silversmith and jeweller in High street, Shoreditch. When called upon for her defence, the prisoner said, " I should not have done it, had it not been for being involved in great distress, and have nothing more to say." The depositions were taken by Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. THAMES. Two well-known thieves, in the garb of sailors, named Thomas Jones, aged 29, and William Simson, 23, who have been frequently in custody, were brought before Mr. Ingham, charged with burgla riously entering the dwelling-house of Mr. Thomas Coxhead, secretary of the Great Luxembourg Canal and Railway Company, No. 28, Brudnell-place, New North-road, Hoxton, and stealing 18 pieces osilver plate, worth 201., and other property therefrom. Mr. INGHAM committed both prisoners for trial. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. WAKEFIELD, AUG, 22.—The arivals are large of wheat and small of other grain.

LIVERPOOL, AUG. 22.—Continued fine weather is enabling our farmers to gather their early crops of grain in the finest possible condition. The trade for the mo ment is consequently apathetic, and at this morning's market the business in any article was limited to retail quantities, at price not properly lower, but weaker than on Tuesday last. There is not much room for further decline on present prices. NEwaURY, Aua. 21.—The weather during the past week has been highly propitious for harvest operations, and great progress has been made in clearing the wheat fields. At to-day's market we have a thin attendance, and but moderate supplies, about one-third of which i s of the new crop, the condition being good, and quality fine, weight per bushel ranging from 631bs to 651bs. The demand is low, at an abatement of is to 23 per quarter on old; and for new the prices range from 40 to 45s per quarter, with some quantity remaining unsold. Barley, but little in offer at late rates. Beans, peas, and oats. In addition to the old we have some samples of new, of fine quality, but late rates are barely supported. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, AUG. 22.—We have still to report a very dull market, with a tendency downwards in prices. The transactions since our last are unimpor tant.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES. ENGLISH WOOL—LEEDS, AUG. 22.—Sales of comb ing wools this week have been confined to a supply of the immediate wants of the manufacturers. Prices are q uoted the same as last week. Low clothing wools are in good demand at firm prices. LIVERPOOL WooL, Atm. 21. The imports of wool into Liverpool during the past week have been 170 Egyptian, 96 Oporto, 355 East India, 131 Mogadore, 19 Cronstadt, 400 Peru, 11,100 Alpaca. About 3,800 bales, princip y all of low wools, were offered at auction yeste" day, and the greater part sold. Blanket kinds fetched extreme rates. Low clothing found buyers, but was not so brisk as the coarser kinds. Mohair is unsaleable at the prices asked. TRADE OF LEEDIL—We have had very slack marketo, both on Saturday and Tuesday, but a moderate amottel of business continues to be done to direct orders. Stoc ks in consequence are kept low, and prices about the sat e, notwithstanding the advance in wools at the late sales. Business has also been dull in the warehouses s i nc e this day week. The buyers generally are purchasing witli caution, and to a very limited extent for the sessou. BRADFORD, AUG. 21.—Wool.—The sluggish &sash' noticed for several weeks past still continues. All th e lower and middle classes are a drug, while the better descriptions are more readily disposed of. Botta , combing is sought after, and commands a littl e better . price, Nolls and shorts are taken off as produced, el full prices. Yarns—There is a better demand w ith the export houses, which gives more firmness to the market, As yet, better prices have not been realised for hot consumption; the demand is steady, and fine numb ers are a trifle dearer, caused chiefly by the recent advan eel at the Colonial 00l Sales just terminated. Pieces.";; The merchants attending market to-day are a fur average. The goods most sought after are mixed so paces, lustres, and cobourgs, but prices keep low. TRADE. OH M ANCHESTER, Au°. 21.—A very good Pg . lll siness was done to-day both in yarns and cloths. , articles usually exported to India, including 40. i eeP shirting, jaconets, and madapollams, there has been tl i e increased demand, and prices have slightly adtane ee. , Although the latest accounts from India did not tend t'" create any anxiety to execute their orders, buyers fe r that market have operated more freely to-day, in copse,' buence of the advance in the raw material at Liverp e° ' The demand for printing cloths, narrow shirtingst ‘10; mestics, and long cloths, is sufficient to keep the instil! clear of stocks, without change of price. There COI nues to be a good business in all descriptions of yarned both for the home and the foreign markets, and the V' vance in the raw material causes a corresponding rise this market.
