CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (B-fore the IiEcoRDEFt.) AsBIULTDIG THE POLICE.— Georye Hewlett, aged 30, described as a labourer, was indicted for feloniously wounding William Curtis, a police-constable, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine defended the prisoner. On the night of the 3d of May the policeman was on duty at Bromley, in Middlesex, when he heard a noise in the neighbourhood of the High-street, and on hasten. inr , thither he found th e p r i sone r and oth ers fi ghting. He' tried to part them, but failed to do so, and in the course of the scufiLl the prisoner got possession of the constable's staff, and struck him"down. Ho then hur ried home and retired to rest, but some six or seven other members of the force went in pursuit and traeked him to his very bed. He, however, refused to get up and to dress himself, and the six or seven policemen, according to their own account, had to drag him out and convey him to the station-house in a state of nudity. Toe defence set up was, that the policeman was the aggressor in the first instance; indeed, he was pirtially drunk at the time the disturbance took place, and rushing in amongst the mob, he laid his truncheon about him right and left, without reference to the skulls it fell upon. Evidence was produced to show that the constable had been drinking at the Victoria public-house the whcle night, in company with many of those who took part in the disturbance, and that h e was as much to blame as the prisoner. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of a common assault only, but the Court deferred passing judgment.

DIIGRACEPUL ELOPEMENT.-0n MOriday after last it wa s di scovered that Mr. Pincott,ma s t er of the Nation noon al School, Portsea, had eloped wi , h Miss White, the mist'ess of the same school, the heartless husband leaving behind him a wile with six children, she being enceinte. What adds to the criminality of the affair is the fact that the wretched girl, who was authorised to draw 1001. from the Savings Bank, by her mother, has robbed her parant of that amount, in order to enrich her paramour. Letters were received yesterday morning by Airs. White, from both Pincott and his compa nion, in which they state that they are on their way to Australia, although this is doubted by the relations of the parties.—Portsmouth Guardian.

An important experiment was msde on Saturday last, the 13th inst., on this railway with two locomotive engines, for the purpose of testing their merits, par ticularly with regard to speed and steadiness. The engine, were constructed for the company by two celebrated makers, ten being made by one firm, ante eight by the oth er; t h e company being desirous that the two systems of engines should be fairly tested, the proportions were made identical; each has six wheels with inside cylinders; diameter of cylinders, 15 inches ; length of stroke, 22 inches, and 6 feet driving wheels; heating surface, 1,150 feet. One of the ar rangements is patented by Mr. Crampton, similar to one (the Folkestone) which is now on view at the Exhibition. The main features of this arrangement consist in the boiler resting upon three points; one on the centre of a cross sprine, which bears upon the axle-boxes of the drivinee whela, at the back of the firebox, and one on each side in the front, on compen sating springs, each of which springs bears upon the two axle-boxes of the small supporting wheels. The dis tribution of weight is for the purpose of preventing oscillation, and at the same time to insure under all circumstances a uniform weight upon each wheel, pro ducing a greater amount of adhesion upon the driving wheels, with a given weight, than with ordi nary engines. The other principal feature consists in communicating the power from the halide cylinders toils cranked axle attached to the frame, the same as in ordi nary engines, and thence by means of coupling rods to the driving -wheels behind the firebox, the rods being ar ranged to act as counterweights to the inside connecting rods, &c., the proper balancing of which is of much im portance. As the crank -axle is not subjected to any blows produced by any inequalities of the road or from the lateral movement of tee wheels, the weight is reduced one-half and the liability to fracture from the above causes obviated. The driving-wheels being placed be. hind, the torsion to which the driving axle is sub', cte while passing roun d curves is materially reduced, the cones of the w h ee l s being properly in action, which is not the ca se w h en the driving-wheels are in the centre of the engine. The other engine used in the experiments was of that cle.s generally admitted by insi le cylinder advocates to be the beet in general use , and was in consequence se leested by the South-Eastern Cempeny as , `ding the the means a comparison. The general proportions are °tune as those just described. the driving-tufo as c„tfleittti)itt!efront end of the tire-box as possible, one pair _ ber n , _eh, in front, close to the Cylinders, and the e: !rid. other shtr. shouldt cf. small wheels behind the fire-box,' i; softhbeei;leilserved that in both cases the workman w• ~rnipt.ions of engines having been These tw o Counsellor of Herbert, Mr. McGregor, the chair mruannr:ingandsommer. a trip should be made. th r t, the secretary of the corn et-ranged pany, and It ,L . ech e ti n t o e i!

We hear that the Clothing Board have reported unfavourably of its merits, but u; on what distinct ground rumour sayeth not. We confess we should like to know the reasons for the rejection of what appears to be at once convenient and handsome, for we do not doubt that a few words would suffice to remove them. THE COMMAND IN IRELAND.—Rumour insists upon it that Lieutenant-General Sir Edward Blakeney is about to resign his command in Ireland, and that he is to be succeeded by Lieutenant-General the- Earl o f _ Cathcart K.C.B. Sir Edward has had a long tenure of office, and it is high time that some other Gene ral Sir enjoyed the chanc e . No di s p ara g e ment, however, of Edward's services—they have been valuable in perio d s of great difficulty.

RACING FIXTURES FOR LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 23, 1851. DISTRESSING SUICIDE, BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY. —This town was the morning Considerably excited, upon its being known that Mr. Cal lum, valuer and auctioneer of the Court of Bankruptcy, had committed suicide at his house at Highgate. The deceased was well known, not only in Birmingham, but in the metropolis and the principal towns of England, as extensively emeected with the sale of first-rate horses. It appears that he went through his business yester day at the repository—formerly occupied by the late Mr. Beards worth—in his accustomed spirits. From thence he proceeded to the Warwick Arms, Bradford street, where, in company with sir. Barton, he partook of tea. The waiters at that tavern state that he was appari-roly unusually joyous. Between ten and eleven o'clock he requested Mr. Barton to accompany him in his gig to his house at Highgate, where they arrived shortly before eleven o'clock. The de ceased and Mr. Barton bad not been in the back sitting-room many minutes when Mrs. Callum told her husband he was wanted in the front room. He immediately proceeded to that apartment, and there found Mr. Suckling, solicitor, and Mr. Glossop, the head of the Birmingham detective police force. He was told by Glossop that they held a warrant against him for a charge of forgery uoon Sir George Chetwynd, of Grendon Hall, Staffordshire. Mr. Callum seemed prepared for the accuaati,n, saying, "I am ready, but let me bee my wife first." Upon the bell being rung, Mrs. Callum entered the room, when her husband met her and embraced her, and whilst doing so drew a phial, containin g prussic acid, from his pocket, and swallowed the contents. He fell instantly upon the fl 'or. The consternation of the party present, and the distress of Mrs. Callum may be conceived, but csn qt. uo bs dbed. Barren, wh o was i n tho back room,t besting the skirl its of Mrs. Callum, flurried into the drawing-room, and there found Mr. Suckiing and Mr. Glossop attempt ing t raise the tnicly ut Mr. Callum, who was t vi (lenity expire,g wider the influence of poison. Mr. tied, a surgeon, residing within a few doors ()I the un fortunate gentlemen, was called in, but he at 'lnc,- de clared that all hopes of saving him were vale; life was not extinct, but the adoduistrstiou or antidotes did not pro duce the slightest beneficisl effect—ho died in a few minutes. Triers steins to be nu doubt that, for some mow he past the deee is( d had been lab-uring under pecuniary diffiJuldea. The bill with the forgery of which he stood charged wse off- red in Birmingham more than once for di , cotsat during the early part of the week, and a e. , rrespOndenca with Sir George Chetwynd led to Mr. Calium's apprehen4ian. The bill upon which the eharge was made was, we understand, to the amount of 700/. 25 26 27 28 An inqa.st was held at Ba'sail heath, near Birming hair, on turdiy, on the body, when the me hest testi mony went to show that the deplorable can .ition of his affairs had so far wroughi upon the physical fiaule as to produce temporary insanity, and the jury returned a verdict accordingly. LOUIS KOSSUTH. When the future historian shall portray, for the in struction of other times, the character of those who have influenced the events of these two or three last por tentous veers, he will assuredly single out one man as the hero of an epoch, fertile in noble efforts of nations, but barren of the great men who alone could conduct such efforts to a prosperous issue. In the great Hungarian patriot ho will gladly recog nise a kindred spirit with those bright names which shine like stars in the page of history —men who had genius to divine the spirit of their time, and could ani mate a whole peop:o with one will, by inspiring faith in themselves. Throughout Europe the reign of des potism has apparently been resumed ; yet it is certain that in avery country the great majority of the people ardently look for the advent of liberty under safe guards of order. If we inquire for the cause of this universal failure of the struggle for liberty, we shall fiud it in the fact that nothi a p roaching to unity of action was accomplished among the ardent d evotees o f f reedom. They knew not what they desired, nor the way to obtain it ; and they had no superior intellect to instruct, to combine, and to guide them. Narrow aims, crude theories, and wayward de sgns en gendered general distrust ; and the destiny aiwaited them that will ever await a hou se divided against itself. If the cause of Erungarian liberty was involved in the same fate, its calamity was i n d uced by very different agencies. Throughout every class of the Hungarian people, the same high enthusiasm prevailed; and all devoted themselves willingly to a common plan of action. The revolution gathered round Louis Kossuth as round its natural centre. He was in truth its animating soul; fur the whole people had faith in him, and none doubted they were advancing to a righteous issue when they saw that all were willing to obey such a leader. Hengary fell in her nubie strife —not because she was divided by intestine disaensions but beciuse she war so united as to awaken the liveliest fear in Russia. For a time —it is to Le hoped only fur a time—the spark of liberty ha 4 been trodden out by the Cosaack heel, and the most glorious of her people has been made en out cast from his own, and a captive in a strange land. But it may well bring eons Batton to the mournful heart of iloto;issiiith th at every geuerou, mind in Europe feels a p art grief, and longs for an OCCA6IOII of offering him some warmer token of its sympathy. It is said that the age of chivalry is gone, and that with its decay has also departed that spirit of loyalty which leads ua to pay homage to the high and noble. But as lung as the race of man retains its faculty of admira tion true greatness will not want its meed of fame; nor will that reward be denied to those who make a ventionahigh station, granted by factitious and con usage, the means of fulfilling great duties, and of displaying a meritorious example of devotedness to the public welfare, even though they may not be gifted with the high qualities which coin maud ediniratiun by their inzrinsie dignity. The respect pfarol v a e t s ta , at ch real:, of the En g li s h people to their Sovereign that loyalty, though tempered by the pe culiar spirit of the age. acquires strength as the nation h a , r e let forefathers e a s theedr theres withg exista v e i tt their roeua advances in intelligence and independence.

It is stated by the above named gentleman that the engine on Crampton's system travelled the whole distance over the road, reaching 8 ingzinsum speed of 75 miles an hour with perfect steadiness; that the increase of speed did not produce oscillation, and that the other engine, when running at 61 miles an ho ur b etween Reigate and London, had so much m,tion that, in their opinion, the patent engine was greatly superior in point of steadiness. The power of taking heavy loads has been most satisfactorily tested with the ordinary trains, 27 loaded carriages having been taken up on the New-cross incline of one in a hundred. In the experiment made some time since with the patent engine in the presence of Messrs. Stephenson, M•Gregor, Barlow, and several other gentlemen, with a train of three carriages, 45 miles were stated to have been run in 43 minutes, and 25 miles of the same were agecepplished in 21 minutes. This result has bees doubted by borne persons, as it was supposed that suffi cient care had not been taken in noting the time. Since, however, the experiment of last Saturday was made with the greate3t possible care, there can be no question but that the former speeds were attained. DA _KING BURGLARY AT TWINSTED. About one o'clut k A M. on Tuesday last, the ►wetting house of Mr. Cook, sen., a farmer in the above pariah, was burglariously entered by three men. An attempt of the like character having been made on the same premises about a month ago, the police have vigi lantly guarded them, and on Tuesday night were on the watch when the parties appeared. Having tried at several places ineffectually, with a long iron chisel, to gala an entrance they at last succeeded in removing an iron bar from a back kitchen window, and entered there. One of them proceeded to the front parlour, followed closely by a second, who, on being stopped by police constable 115, inflicted a teriffie blow on the officer's head with the chi.el. The robber in the parlour was then attacked by a ►abouring man in the employ of Mr. Cook, arid for some minutes, the parties were engaged in a most desperate encounter, blood flying in all diryetems. The constable succeeded in getting his man down in the passage and handcuffing one of his wrists, wnilst the labour, r called loudly for his master. Mr. Cook, hearing his cries, hastened to their assis , tince with his loaded gun, and when in the act of crossing the oassage, the rubber atized the gun, and in the scuffle discharged the c intents, which unhappily en tered one of the arms of the labourer. The gun was then wrenched from Mr. Cook, who received a blow from it, and the policeman now had to contend with both tte nurglars, wi:h whom he fought single handed in a most gallant manoer, though sorely belshaired by them with the gun and his own staff. The report of the gun brought to their aid police-constables 33 and 45. on discovering whom the two burglars retreated with a third, who was watching outside the premises. In formation was immediately forwarded to the police station at Sudbury, and medical aid was procured, when it was found necessary to amputate the wounded man's arm. We rejoice to add that later information en ables us to announce the apprehension of three Rua peoted parties by Cross, a constable, at Sudbury. Their names are Stephen Pc►ke, William Poole, and James Dawson, a:1 of whom, we believe, will be identified by the police. Poole's head was so ranch cut that he could not be renvived, and the handcuffs were still us Daw son, so that little doubt remains that the activity mani fested for the detection of the guilty parties has had a successful issue. Superintendent Hoy, on inspecting Mr. Cook's premises, found that part of the d welling in which the encounter took place in a state resembling a slaughterhouse, from the de-perate nature of the attack and defence.—Chelmsford Chronicle. mities of royalty? He used his high place for him self and not for his people ; and as he had no title to power but that which a faithful observance of his compsct with his people gave him, the voice of justice sanctioned his dethronement. But had Louis Philippe added to able statesmanship a lofty patriotism,—had ho under the outward form of a respectable private life che rished the generous and disinterested virtues,—had he in gratiated himself in general esteem, not by art, but by artless magnanimity,—had be spoken to the heart of his people the winged words of eloquence warmed by religion, and practised in their eyes the duties of loyalty, sincerity, and di - interestedness,—h a d he, in short, pos sessed the highest gifts of genius purified by virtue and wisdom, and had lost his throne in an endeavour to lead the nation to liberty —whet a halo of glory would have rested around his memory! He would still have retained his throne in the hearts of his people, and all men would have mourned for his fall. If nations hold by inherent right the privilege of choosing their own rulers, we should esteem those men monarchs who by greatness of mind deserve and win the suffrages of their compa triots. Now such a men as Louis Philippe might hare been, Louis Kossuth was and is ; and we look upon him as upon the only true loyalty that ha. suffered eclipse in these days of confused change. There is an inexpressible tenderness and dignity in the melan choly eloquence with which he asks Europe, and espe cially England, to restore him—if not to Hungary, yet to the freedom of the broad world. The stoic firmness is not hit that welcomes the cruelty which tries his nature, He complains, but his complaints are as far from weak ness as they are allied to a gentle humanity. It is surely a disgrace to Europe that this great man, so honoured by the noble and the good in every country, should be denied the common blessing of liberty and companionship with his knd . His cuntieued captivity. now that policy no longer requires it, is a gratuitous insult to the common opinion of civilised nations; and we see with pleasure that in various ptrts of England meetings are being held, in the hope of making test common opinion more dis tinctly known. Just at this moment England is the is point of Europe t o w h ic h all eyes are turned. She recoen zed as the leader of civilization —Which word, hi i;3 true acceptation , is synonymous with the reign of ng f justice, humanity, and peace. A voice issuirom meetings of her people will not be dis regarded &broad ; and even the Sovereigns of the new Holy Alliance will tel its potency. That D-rby 1. nor, so f sward as some other towns in giving expression s to feelings wof condemnati on o f K sasuth ' s imprisonment is, we kno, proof that it doe: not possess them; arid perhaps tie appeal from his countrywoman may help in determining our townsmen to join in the general de sire for Kossuth's release.—Derby Reporter, CURIOUS CASE.

Pere was employed in the making of these balls, and Binet was also em ployed in Ole port. In November and December last they g,,t lean) of absence, and went, with Ruello, who is a baker, to London. Ruello supplied the funds. It was immediately rumoured, from some ob servat i ons they had made, that they h a d gone t o E ng l and to sell the tic cret of making these balls to the English Government, and it was at ertained that Binet and Ruello had had fre quent communications with the Englsh Consul at Lorient. These two men had also caused an application to be made to a 'Nary named Le Bobinec for an advance of 4,000 f., and promised to pay him 25,000 r. for it. They then said thtt they were going to England to sell a secret for making balls which would bring them several millions. Fire was also heard to make a similar state ment to Binees wife. On arriving in London they, etc et'mPanied by an interpreter, went to the Board of Ad miralty. Thtir proposition was favourably received, and they were sentdown to Portsmouth that experiments might be made with their secret. The experiments lasted 15 days, and took place on board the Excellent, Captain Chads. The Captain's report to the Admiralty was not sufficiently favourable to induce it to purchase the secret; nevertheless, to indemity of 1,200 f. (481.) was awarded to the men. They had demai,ded 4 000 f. They then attempted to sell the secret to the Ambassador of Russia and to the American Consul, but both declined to accept it. The three men passed some time at London, and when their money was exhausted they fell into misery. In August last Pa re returned to France and enlisted into a regiment at St. Omer, but he was recognised and arrested. Binet and Ruello arrived at Boulogne in No vember, and were arrested. The accused, on being inter rogated by the Court, denied that they had been to Eng land to sell the secret; but, in addition to the above facts, it appeared that reports of the police who had watched them in L mdon, and their own correspondence with their fanatlies, stated the contrary. It was also shown that Com, Pefre knew part of the secret from being employed in making the boilers, and that he had got the rest of if by examining the papers of Colonel Tinouvenin, the di- A l la n , rector of the m anu fa ctory .

Yesterd a y a f ternoon the large and ancient parish church of Sr. Dunstan, Stepney, was the scene a a very sin gular and diegrac.,ful disturbance, arising out of the appoint ment of an afternoon lecturer, who was to preach fur the first time. It may be necessary to premise that the parish ioners claim the right—which ha, beets exercised, if not from time immemorial, at least for two centuries—of appoint ing an afternoon lecturer. Several meetings on the subject have been lately held, and the parishioners recently elected the Rev. Samuel Gower Poole to the office of afternoon lec• curer, in opposition to the views of the Rev. Richard Lee, the rector of Stepney. In consequence of a repiestritie tion made to the Bishop of London. his Lordship in the first instance refused to license Mr. Poole, but eventually the objectio ns o f t h e Bishop were removed, and his Lord ship consented to license him; the rector, however. pee. listed in refusing him the use of the pulpit. At three o'clock yesterday afternoon the church was crowded with Mr. Poole and groaning. perfect storm proceeded his sur lane tamodot withouts hp t er r av e ye s es p rt e rs c y t . a r b o l o e rn congregation. ,r int teerruppurripo on; e T h ao fr e r d cßhteabvne. changing plice, and about the same time the Rev. Mr. Lee, who had re mained close to the altar during the reading of the prayers, ascended to the pulpit. The congregation immediately rose, and some gentlemen in the gallery called out to these below, Out, out," and pointed to the western doer. A general movement wa ,, made in that direction, and a great portion of the c-ngregation had left, amidst a suppressed murmur, which was anewered by a " Hush, huh," from others, until some foolish and wrongheaded individuals near thTehewreesetetrzo; aetntdemofpttehde t c o h a u d rc d h re b as eg t a h n em hi , s b si u n t g was met with of hissing and groaning. interrupted with cries of " No Pu seyism," "No Popish beasts." The i emu who used these exclamations must have known nothing of the controvert relating to the afternoon lectureship, fur the rector is a low churchmen. The Rev. Air. Poole was standing near the communion when the disturbance commenced, and finding th e pulpit already occupied by the rector, left the church, and went int , the vestry, where he remained until the con greption had departed.

Derb TUE BILLINGSGATE! IMPRoviIMENTS.--The improve naents in progress at Billingsgate are proceeding rapidly. and one of the towers fronting the river has already been raised to a considerable height. The foundations of the new river frontage to this celebrated fish-market have beea laid with an unusual degree of strength, the stone-work being cemented with iron girders, after the manner of strengthening the walls of houses now in vogue. There will be a handsome roof to the new market-place when finished; and, altogether, with the vast improvement which will be effected i n t hi s l ocality, coupled with the handsome new Gial- Exch ange building opposite, and th e C ustom-house adjoining, this portion of Thames -street will not be one of the least ornamental portions of the city of London. ANGLING-I'ns OlCEl.—During the past week the river Oich has been fished successfully. We are informed that Mr. Tait's keeper succeeded in killing on that river, on Wednesday last, a sa l mon we i ghing twelve pounds ; and on Thursday, in addition to a fine grilse, a trout, weighing no less than eighteen pounds, was secured, both with the fly. It is unusual for trout of such size and weight to be caught in the Oich with the fly-hook. On Saturday the same person caught a sa l mon weighing twelve pounds. In kin, Tea consequence of the flo o d i n t h e high-lying rivers, this is Auction tastr Ml allan reckoned on as likely io be a most favourable season. Australian Grilse are caught in the upper streams earlier than in the angto-szet Ness, which they are observed to ascend at a rapid rate ins- ._, D , l i t a r mediately on entering it fr..nu the sea.—lnverness Courier.

'ltable et FATAL A CCIDENT ON THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY. 1: Ditto I —Oa Friday evening an accident occurred on the Caledonian it tilwly, which resulted in the death of James Watson, one llungerford of the engine-tiriveri on the line. Ile left Edinburgh oondon !net charge of the 9.15 mail main. Finding he was losing time, Yew &can, notwithstanding his utmost endeavours to keep up the Ditto, We' steam, he twice left the engine and went across the roofs of I:Z.611p" the carriages to see if anything was wrong with the Anna; had There being a cattle truck in the train, which toys sup had an awkwardly situated drag, be was in the act of loath knit adi isting it, w h en h e missed his footing, and fell upcn the 7snDienli line. The wheels of one or more of the carriages passed over his leg, and severed it nearly through at a point about as far up as the groin. This occurred a little to the west ward of West Calder. Ile was not observed to fall off the carriage by either of the guards stoker; but they soon became aware that he was missing, and the train was stopped with the view of going back to pick him up. This proposition, however, was frustrated by the interference of some official at one of the stations; and the consequence was that the train proceeded onwards to CA stairs, on reach ing which a special engine was sent back along the line. The poor fellow was found lying on the side of the railway in a pool of blood, with his napkin and jacket tied round his leg, as he was best able, to al) the haemorrhage. By this time upwards of an hour and a half had elapsed, and be was fast sinking, lie was conveyed to Edinburgh, and removed to the Royal Infirmary; but he died just as the parties who had him in charge were laying him upon one of the beds Scotsman. LFARN TO READ WRITING.—An old man vvhn, with his wife, had lived for many years in the Hospice des Vieillards, at Tours, purchased four years ego a pair of trou sers from a soldier, and wore them until within the last tew days. The wife then began to unsew them, and dis covered fastened in the band a piece of paper. " Ab!" said the husband, glancing at, it, " it is an assignat of the old Republic? It is of no nse ! " " Well ! " answered the wife, " as there is a little engraving on it, I will paste it to the wall." She did so. The day after a person came in, and on seeing the note, exclaimed...." What ! d o you paste bank notes of 1,0004 to the wall! " " I,ooot. ! Good heavens?" cried husband and wife together, " why isn't it an assionat? " " No, but a note of the Bank of France for 1,000 f., which sum any banker will give for it." The note stuck too tightly to the wall to be removed, so the vi sitor cut out the brick, and sent it to a banker at the town.

B. Knocker, dated Mount Gambia, South Australia. July 7, 1849. To Professor Holloway. Sir,—A case has just come under my observation in which the efficacy of your Ointment and Pills has been fully proved. A man of the name of Joshua Smith had upwards of twenty ulcers on his shins. which were so difficult to cure that almost every remedy had been applied without any good effect. Your Pills and Ointment were then resorted to, and in about six weeks he was completely cured, and scarcely a mark is now to be seen.-- Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establish.
