MINING INTELLIGENCE, (From the Mining Journal.) A considerable change has taken place in our market during this week, both in the inquiry for shares and the amount of business transacted, which augurs well for a more settled state of things than we have latterly had to remark upon. There has also again been favour able news from several new mines lately opened, which has led to transactions in the shares at large profits to original holders. Progressive shares have also been much more in request; and, on the whole, the prospects of the market are of an encouraging character, the con tinuance of which we do not doubt, seeing that the steps towards a restoration of confidence are gradual, and, therefore, sound. Dividend mines maintain their posi tion, but the transactions are chiefly for permanent in vestment. In the Metal Market-Copper is very firm, and in good demand. Lead has been extensively dealt in, without change in price. British Tin is well held, while the near approach of the Dutch sale tends to check ope rations in Foreign, a very small quantity being offared. The Lisburne Mines have declared a dividend of 201. per share.

We are informed on very good authority that the convicts William Battersby and Etiza Wilkinson, who have been found guilty of manslaughter of the husband of the last named individual, have made a statement which, if true, explains to a certain extent what has hitherto been a most myste rious transaction. The communication is made to us verbally, and in respect of exact details is not very complete. The purport of it is as follows : —On the Saturday upon which the unfortunate Wilkinson perished in so horrible a manner he went out into the yard for a few minutes, leaving his wife and Battersby alone, the little girl having gone to bed. During that interval his wife and Battersby were toying with each other respecting a handkerchief, of which he was endeavouring to gain possession, and while so engaged Batteraby placed his arm round the woman's waist. In that relative position they were sur prised by Wilkinson, who, inferring a more grave im propriety than the facts warranted, became very angry. " Come, Battersby," he exclaimed, " we'll have no more of this ; there's bean too much of it already ; you shall leave my house this night, and see that you never enter it again." He then turned fiercely to wards his wife, and, snatching up a knife that lay on the table, swore he would kill her instantly. At this moment Battersby interposed, and strove to take the knife from him. A struggle en sued, in which the hands of both of them were cut, as deposed to by certain of the witnesses. The woman, taking advantage of this momentary withdrawal of attention from herself, snatched up the poker, struck her husband on the wrist, and knocked the knife out of his hand. Wilkinson upon that became quite furious, and she, to screen herself from violence, ran up stairs and leaped out of the window. Batteraby, finding the stream of the jealous husband's rage turned wholly against himself, then got possession of the poker or coal-rake, and dealt him that terrific blow which made such havoc on his head ; and afterwards, observing that the disabled man was dead, conceiving the thought of presenting the appearance of suicide, he cut the dead man's throat and laid the clasp-knife upon the floor, where it was found the following morning. Having completed his gory work he then ran up stairs, hastily changed his dream, and ran away in the manner described by the witness Mary Sarah Pearson. If this were so, it would seem that the statement of the woman as to her own conduct was in the main true, and that she acted deceitfully only in suppressing such details as would have prejudiced herself and Battersby.—Shef field Times. CASE OF THUGGISJL GLOUCESTER, THURSDAY.—The magistrate sof Glou cester have had before them, and committed for trial, a man and woman, on a chage of robbing and attempting to strangle a man named Organ. The circumstances are as follows:—The man Organ, who is a butcher by trade, was proceeding over West gate-bridge, on the outskirts of Gloucester, on Friday night, when he was accosted by a woman— the female prisoner, whose name is Sarah Perry. The woman asked him for money, and walked by his aide for some distance. He told her he had no thing for her. They had now reached a more lonely part of the road, when a man jumped up from behind a heap of stones, and throwing a handkerchief round his neck, attempted to strangle him. He resisted, but was forced against the wall, and nearly suffocated, the blood running from his mouth. He was robbed of all his money, con sisting or 1/. 17s. 6d. The woman continued with him, and when the robbery was completed, both of them ran away. The prosecutor swore positively to the identity of both the man and woman, and added to his statement, of which the above is a summary, that the man overtook him on the bridge, and asked him to stop for him, as he was going his way; but Organ declined his company. A witness, named Merrill, wno was on the same road on Friday night, was examined to prove that he had met the man and woman sworn to by Orga❑ near the spot where the robbery was effected. The male prisoner's name is Thomas Weaver; he is a strong muscular look ing man. The woman is a poor thinly clad creature, with a child in her arms. Tne prisoners were living together at a ludging-house on the Friday night, and a woman employed at that house proved that they went out together shortly before the time when the transac tion is said to have taken place. Both are committed for trial. SCENES in the SPANISH BULL CIRCUS. MADRID, JULY 26 —Yesterday, the Bull Circus of Aranjuez became the theatre of a spectacle worthier of the age of the Romans of the empire than of the 19th century. Several wild beast were introduced succes sively to fight in the arena. The Queen-Mother and her family, together with the King and the Duke of Rianzares were present in the royal box. The first fight was between a wolf and several dogs. The wolf looked at first excessively frightened, and made several leaps to clear the lofty iron grating v. hich surrounded the arena. These efforts became desperate when he saw bound into the circus four powerful do:s, which in a few moments reduced him to such a pitiful state, that it was necessary to withdraw him. The wolf stood merely on the de fensive—he shook off the dogs, but he did not attack them. Next entered an hsasna, against which four dogs were likewise loosed. One ot the dogs distinguished himself greatly in this combat, sad several times mastered the hyaena alone, dragging him over to the ground, b ut h e was so punished by the fierce bites ot the wild beast, that his master was fain to enter the arena and withdraw him from the combat amid salvos of applause. The hymns was then withdrawn in rather a mangled condition. The next wild beast that ap peared was a sturdy, surly bear, against whom were launched as many as 13 dogs. The enemy was now evidently of a more formidable kind, for the dogs were no longer so eager to grapple with the object of their attack, but contented th emse l ves w i t h b ar ki ng a round h i m i n 5 ring; and when any of the number ventured i n to closer quarters, he received a hug and bite which left him apparently lifeless dubs.. ' several seconds. The public now loudly called for the intrepid dog who had mailed the hyaena. This was the first of the pack who dared to seize the bear with his teeth. The others imitated his example with less pluck, but no effect seemed to be produced by any of the assailants upon the shaggy beast, and the bravest of the m seemed baffled by the thickness of his coat, which defied the gripe of his adversaries. The last act of the spectacle was that which had more particularly attracted crowds by railroad to Araujuez. The fight was now between a lion and a bull. The first was one of the finest of his species. No sooner was he loosed into the arena and espied the bull than he made towards him at once, and attacked him with fury. But he only succeeded in seizing th e ta il o f hi s horned foe, by which he clung on with his claws. The bull, thus attacked from behind, was unable to defend himself with his horns, off e ut r t i o resently the lion having bitten his tail close' lion, pain, on him, and, frantic thewith rump, the bull turned tremendous fury, tossing the sizo into the air, Which 60 damped charged with notwithstanding his eat ()neeclear r the pluck . of the o s n at sv d h o ich aide the latter, that it becarn ge dejected tin victory would be declared. The lion and moaning with pain, while the bull charged GAS-MIGHT AND CONE COMPANIES. Dividend Amount Name of Company, per of Pahl. Price. Annum. Share. IX. s. 4. X. s. d.

ROMANTIC AFFAIR IN ARIS. The Droit says—" M. D--, a merchant of quarter Montmatre, maintained for some years an inti mate connexion with Lucia a native of Milan. About a month ago she noticed that he became cold towards her, and seemed to labour under some anxiety. In answer to her questions, he admitted that in compliance with the wish of his family be was about to marry a wealthy heiress. On this she flew into a furious passion, and had a vio lent nervous attack. She then sent back the valuable presents he had made her, and announced to him that on the day of his marriage she would kill herself before him and his bride. The merchant took every precaution to prev en t h er f rom l earn i ng w h e re the marriage was to be celebrated. He succeeded, and it took place on Satur day. But it was observed that during the ceremony he was labouring under great anxiety, and at the dinner also his gloom continued. Towards the end of the dessert all prospect of the dreaded visit of his discarded mistress having, as he thought, disappeared, he became gay. But all at once the n o i se o f an a l tercat i on was h e ard in the staircase. M. D turned pale, ho recog nised-- the voice of the fair It a li an , di s p u ti ng w ith his chief clerk. Shortly after the female rushed into the room ; her dress was in disorder—her hair dishevelled, and she c arried a stiletto in her baud. She cried, You did not expect me—but your PRICES OF SHAUES IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK. From the Official List. fUBLISURD EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING.

At the same moment she plunged the dsgger into her breast. But fortunately ore of the guests having seized her hand, lessened the force of the blow, end the wound was not deep. She was not far from 11. D-, and some of the blood spirted oa his waistcoat and shirt. Indescribable confusion arose; the bride fainted ; one of the bridemaids had a nervous attack: most of the guests went away; and D--- was so painfully affected that he was for a long time unable to utter a word. She was conveyed to her residence, where precautions were taken to preve❑t her from committing suicide. Yesterday the Commissary of Police went to her, and obtained from her a promise that she would not make an attempt on her life. She was going on well, and was quite calm." PREVALENT OPINIONS AMONG THE DUTCH. (From Notes and Queries ) 1. A baby laughing iu its dreams is conversing with the angels. 2. Rocking the cradle when the babe is not in it, is considered injurious to the infant, and a prognostic of its speedy death. 3. A strange dog following you is the sign of good luck. 4. A stork settling on a house is a harbinger of hap piness. To kill such a bird would be sacrilege. 5. If you see a shooting star, the wish you form be fore its disappearance will be fulfilled. 6. A person born with a caul is considered fortunate. 7. Four-leaved clover brings luck to the person who finds it unawares. 8. An overturned salt-cellar is a ship wrecked. If a person take salt and spill it on the table, it betokens a strife between him and the person next to whom it fell. To avert the omen, he must lift up the shed grains with a knife, and throw them behind his back. 9. After eating eggs in Holland you must break the shells, or the witches would sail over in them to Eng land. The English don't know under what obligations they are to the Dutch for this custom. Please to tell them. 10. If you make a present of a knife or scissors, the person receiving must pay something for it; otherwise the friendship between you would be cut off. 11. A tingling ear denotes there is somebody speak ing of you behind your back. If you hear the noise in the right one, he praises you; if on the left side, he is calling you a scoundrel, or something like that. But, never mind! for if, in the latter case, you bite your little finger, the speaker's tongue will be in the same predica ment. By all means don't spare your little finger! 12. If, at a dinner, a person yet unmarried be placed immediately between a married couple, be sure he or she will get a partner within the year. It's a pity it must be inadvertently. 13. It' a person when rising throw down his chair, he is considered guilty of untruth. 14. A potato begged or stolen is a preservative against rheumatism. Chescuts have the same efficacy. 15. The Nymphass, or water-lily, whose broad leaves, and clear white or yellow cups, float upon the water, was esteemed by the old Frisians to have a magical power. "I remember when a boy," says Dr. llalbertama, " that we were extremely careful in plucking and handling them; for if any one fell with such a flower in his pos session, he became immediately subject to fits." 16. One of my friends cut himself. A man-servant being present secured the knife hastily, anointed it with oil, and putting it into the drawer, besought the patient not to touch it for some days. Whether the cure was effected by this sympathetic means, I can't affirm; but cured it was; so, don't be alarmed. 17. If you feel on a sudden a shivering sensation i❑ your back, there is somebody walking over your future grave. 18. A person speaking by himself will die a violent death. 19. Don't go under a ladder, for if you do you will be hanged. SEABORNE MAILS.

Davis, Mr. J DAVIS, and Mr. 0. MASSHITER.) Mr. Edward Ellis, the proprietor of Grove-house, Chigwell, Essex, and Frederick Wright, James Page, and Richard Metcalfe, servants in his employ, were placed at the bar, charged with illicit distillation; the former with being the proprietor of the stills, and the other three defendants with working the same. From the evidence, it appeared that on Friday night, Mr. D. Scott, supervisor of inland revenue, accompanied by Mr. W. Bridges, an inspector of the Thames Police, and who also bolds an Excise commission, proceeded to the country residence of Mr. E. Ellis, the Grove-house, Chigwell, which is a most spacious mansion, with a lawn and garden in front, having all the external appear. ance of belonging to a family of the highest respecta bility. To avoid observation they made their way to the back of the house; but upon going up towards the kitchen door, they met Mrs. Ellis, the wife of the principal defendant, to whom they communicated that they were officers, and had come to search the pre mises. Having gain( d admission they found the lower part of the house fitted up as a distillery on a most ex tensive scale, and iu a very costly manner. One still was set up in the front kitchen, and another in the back, both at full work, and running off spirits from the worms. In the back kitchen they found Wright attending to the still, and soon after Metcalfe came in from the yard. While they were in the front kitchen they heard a noise as of some person making his escape at the back, whom they afterwards ascertained was James Page, a servant in the employ of Mr. Ellis. Having left Wright and Metcalfe in the custody of Mr. Bridges, Mr.iScott and a policeman went in search of Page, whom they found at home in bed. They examined his clothes, which by their smell and appearance clearly indicated that he had been at work in the distillery. They accordingly ar rested him, and took him back to Mr. Ellis's, when Metcalfe acknowledged that Page had been in the still-house shortly before. Between one and two o'clock on Saturday morning, Mr. Ellis came home with a horse and cart which was loaded with coke, a large barrel of yeast, and several parcels of empty blad ders that had recently contained spirits. He was asked whether be was the proprietor of the house? He said there would be no use in his denying it, and et once ac knowledged that he was proprietor of the premises, and that his residence in town, where he carried on business, was Bostock-street, London Docks. He said that Page was his house servant, whom he sometimes employed in working in his gardens, and at other times in the dis tillery. He said that the boy Metcalfe was his nephew, who had been acting under his directions, and sorry he was for having been the cause of bringing the boy into the ways of error. They found about 300 gallons of fermented molasses wash ready for distillation, from forty to fifty gallons of spirits, a great quantity of barrels, and all the necessary apparatus for carrying on an ex tensive trade. _ _ The magistrate convicted Edward Ellis, Frederick Wright, and James Page, in the penalty of 301 each, or three months' imprisonment, with hard labour, in Ilford gaol. Metcalfe was ordered to be discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.. _ _. Mr. Briggs, of the firm of Briggs and Gardford, of Primrose -street, Bishopsgate-street, oilmen, appeared be fore Sir P. Laurie, who has been appointed locum tenens for the Lord Mayor during his Lordship's corporation visit to Paris, fur the purpose of making a statement, the public notice of which might be productive of advantage. It had become, Mr. Briggs said, a common practice at places of amusement about London, to send up in the air dangerous combustibles in the shape of fire balloons, which were calculated to do irreparable mischief, espe cially when they happened to fall upon premises in which there were inflammable materials. There bad been a fire on Friday night in Clerkenwell, and in about half an hour after he had heard of the breaking out of the con flagration he was informed by one of the servants of the establishment that the roof of his premises was on fire. On going up to the roof he found that a fire-balloon, which had lately descended, was blazing away, and ho was convinced that if it had fallen a foot or two away from the spot on which it had dropped, the building would have been in a very short time in flames; there were between 200 and 300 tuns of oil on the premises, the consequences to the whole neighbourhood might have been dreadful in the extreme. He had learned, upon speaking to the police, that fire balloons were constantly falling about Bishopsgate, and that it was generally sup posed they had been sent up from the various public gardens about the metropolis, the proprietors of which, no doubt, never took into account the dangers to be ap prehended from the childish practice. Sir P. LAURIE—I dare say you come here to make this representation, because you conclude that it is the quickest mode of seeking and accomplishing a remedy to obtain a speedy exposure in the public press? Mr. Briggs—Precisely so. I consider that my premises, and es a necessary consequence the whole neighbourhood, had a very narrow escape. I entertain no doubt that the moment the police authorities are informed of the fact of the frequent descent of fire balloons, they will give directions to the forge to make tuck regulations as EVENING, AUGUST 4, 1851 will allay the apprehension likely to arise from the report. . . Sir P. LAURIE— WO are extremely obliged to you for coming here to gi‘e us such information. I dare say that you will see a proper notice of your complaint in the newspapers. and I shall give directions that imme diate intormation be officially given to the Commis sioners of the Metropolitan Police Force, in whose ex tensive district the tire balloons must be sent up. The case, in my opinion, comes immediately under the clause of the Police Act, which enables a magistrate to inflict a severe penalty for letting off fireworks or combustible matter; and the places to be watched are of course the gardens which advertise lists of perilous entertainments. I am convinced that an application to Mr. Mayne, the Chief Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, will immediately be attended to. I regret to be obliged to say, that when notice is given of any dangerous or hor rible exhibition, the draught of people is always enor mous. Such is the case with regard to the poor creatures who are in the habit of exposing' their lives in the air, the fatal accidents to whom are sure to increase the spectators at the succeeding exhibitions. Sir P. LAURIE fixed Thursday next for the hearing of a case of much public importance connected with the pos session of a pianoforte which had been lent upon hire and sent to a sale-room to be disposed of. Counsel are, we understand, to be heard upon the case, which has excited a great deal of curiosity, and it is expected that numbers of the trade will be present upon the occasion. article being solely made for them, at a cost price of 10s. 61. per yard. 74. r. Parry was specially retained for the accused. Me. Crumble, from Messrs. Birch.= and Co.'s, Par liement-street, solicitors to the South-Western Railway Company, attended to prosecute, and premised his case by stating that on Monday last a man named Charles Whither, carrying on business as a greengrocer in Church-yard, Aldgate, was charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing 4001. worth of merino and mousseline-de laine, the property of the railway company, but assigned to Messrs. Candy and Co., an eminent firm in Watling street, per the South-Western Railway, from Southamp ton, in the mouth of February last. The box was stolen in its transit up the line, and was marked "C. C. and C 0.," meaning Charles Candy and Cowpany. It having come to the knowledge of the directors of the railway company that Mr. Seward, the prisoner, who, with his brother, is carrying on en extensive business at 6,7, and 8, Commercial-road East, had purchased a large proportion of the stolen property, viz,, to the ex tent of 600 or 700 yards, application was made on that evening week. They produced a number of pieces of merinoes and mousselin-de-laines, French manufacture, and said that was all they had. The company were then in hopes that Mr. Seward would have appeared as a witness fur the prosecution ; but, unfortunately for the prisoner, it turned out otherwise. Information had been obtained that amongst the goods stolen were two pieces of black merino, which were made specially for Messrs. Candy, at a trade cost of 10s. 6d. per yard, and were sold to the prisoner at the price of 9d. per yard. Accord ingly, on Wednesday last Mr. Wadham Young, of the railway company, Mr. Wilson, a gentleman connected with Messrs. Candy's firm, and Mr. Inspector Field, went to the prisoner's premises and challenged him with having more goods than he accounted for. He (the pri soner) denied most positively having any more goods of the description alluded to, and Inspector Field then said, however oisagreeable the proceeding might be, be must search the p-einises. That course was adopted, and the officer would state in his evidence what additional pro perty ho found; and in conclusion he would only state that the directors of the South-Western Railway Com pany had considered it their duty, on behalf of the pub lic and themselves, to place the prisoner in the dock. Mr. PATNTXR observed, that before any evidence was gone into, he wished merely to remark that the case of the great railway robberies had come originally before Mr. Beadon, his colleague, and, as it would again be brought before him at a very early period, he only wished sufficient evidence to be gone into to remand the prisoner. Mr. Charles Frederick Field was then sworn, and seated that he was an inspector of the detective police. In consequence of information he received, he went, ac companied by Mr. Wadham Young and Mr. Wilson, on Wednesday last, to Mr. Seward's house, and asked for Mr. John Seward, and introduced that person to Mr. Wilson, telling him that he was a gentleman connected with Messrs. Candy's house, and that he (the witness) had reason to believe that he had got some more pro perty connected wiih the robbery on the South-West ern Railway, and that that property was purchased be fore his transaction with Whitcher, the remanded pri soner. The prisoner replied—" We have no more ; you have had every yard." Witness said there were two pieces of black mousselin, and the prisoner replied he had not got them, and his brother came in and said in prisoner's presence, " No, Mr. Field, you have had every yard ; we have no more of it." Witness then said," Let Mr. Wilson see what you have got," and the prisoner then went into another shop and brought out eight pieces and a dress, on which he said money had been paid. The material produced was principally mousselin-de-laine in different co lours. Atter they had looked at these he said. " Let us look at your black merino." Sumo pieces were produced from under the counter, and Mr. Wilson put his hand on one and identified it as a portion of the stolen goods, and said to the prisoner, " What did you give fur this?" and the prisoner replied, " Why, I bought it in a lot." Mr. Wilson then said, " Where are the others?"'and the prisoner replied, " Why, we have sold them at 4s. 11d. the yard," and Mr. Wilson replied, " Why, they cost us 10s. a yard, wholesale price," meaning the black merino. Witness then said these good had been stolen, and he should take charge of them. By Mr. Parry—Saw Seward for the first time that evening week, and communicated to him that goods had been stolen from the South-Western Railway, and he was supposed to have received them. He hesitated for some time, and then said, " Let us go into the back room"—meaning the shop parlour. He said he had given 51. for the goods, and witness asked for the invoice; ho gave it him, but he had lett it at home. In the invoice it said— Mr. Parry here checked the witness, and said he must oppose his stating what was not evidence, as the invoice was not produced. The witness was believed to be one of the cleverest officers in existence, and therefore he must watch him. The witness continued—He had had three interviews with the prisoner, and the last was on Friday afternoon, in his shop. He took away one lot of goods on last Saturday night, and another lot on Wednesday. By Mr. Crombie—l asked prisoner of whom he had purchased the goods, and he said of a man named Plampin, who he bad afterwards heard was tried and convicted for the golddust robbery. The name in the invoice was Honey. By Mr. Parry—He did not, after being asked if it was Whitcher, say he had discovered it was Plampin. He said, Plampin passed as Honey when he sold the pro perty. The prisoner said he paid Bd. and 9d. a yard, taking the whole lot. Mr. Parry now addressed the magistrate on behalf of his client, observing he felt the case must be remanded, and the simple application he should make was, that the prisoner might be admitted to bail. He had been car rying on business twelve or fourteen years. These facts had been brought to his knowledge a week that day. The inspector had had several interviews with his client, and, if he had felt himself a guilty man, had he not bad many opportunities to flee? He (Mr. Parry) had made Mr. Crombie acquainted with the prisoner's circum stances, and that gentleman knew he was enabled to give bail to any amount. The prisoner had made no mis statement. Mr. Crombie, too, wanted to prove that the prisoner bought the goods of Whitcher, and he said that it was Plampin. On the subject of bail the railway company always left it to the magistrate to put it at such amount as would insure the attendance of the ac cused; that was, supposing the magistrate considered himself justified in taking bail. Mr. PAYNTER said, in his remarks, that whilst a case was pending fur trial he would never take bail for the accused party, especially in such a ease as the present. He had known the irnpolicy of such a step. Had the depositions been completed, he might have admitted the prisoner to bail. MARY LEBONE. Richard Richards, living at No. 3, Weir's-passage, Somers-town, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long for further examination, charged with having stolen birds of paradise, ostrich, osprey, and other splendid and valuable feathers, to the amount of upwards of 2001. The prisoner was asked if he had any answer to make to the charge, and he replied that ho bought the Leathers found at his house.—He was fully committed for trial. W RSHIP- STREET. John Hackett, brother of the notorious George Hackett, whose daring escape from the Model Prison excited so much attention some months since, and a well-dressed young woman named Mary Ann Kiug, were charged upon suspicion of being concerned with others not in custody in stealing three bales of silk, of the value of 113/., the temporary property of a carrier named Pope, and also upo❑ another charge, the particu lars of which were as under:— On or about the 9th of May last several bales, or rather ballots, of unwrought silk were consigned from one of the foreign silk houses to a manufacturing firm in Spitalfielda, and upon reaching Southampton were forwarded to town by that railway. While in the course of its transit Mr. Pope, an extensive carrier in Tower street, became the legal owner of the consignment, and upon sending one of his carts to the warehouse to re ceive it, three of the bales, of the above value, were found to have been stolen before they reached their destination. Information of the robbery was immediately given to the police, and Sergeant Teekle, of the H division, and Inspector Bridges, of the Thames-police, were instructed to trace the thieves, but no clue could be obtained to the silk till a month or five weeks ago, when information was forwarded them that silk of that peculiar descrip tion had been offered for sale by the prisoner Hackett at 3s. or 3s. 6d. pund. A scheme was then laid to entrap the prisoner, but he succeeded in not only evading the officers himself, but also in concealing the locality of some stabling he was known to have until Saturday morning se'nnight, when they traced him to his stables at Pentonville, and pounced upon and secured him with handcuffs. On telling him the nature of the charge he stoutly denied all knowledge of the silk, but upon the cffisers searching the stable they discovered a quantity of canvass wrapper corresponding with that usually em ployed in covering silk bales, and matching other wrappers handed to them at the docks for that purpose, but torn into strips, apparently to prevent identification. Upon searching further an illicit still was found, set in brickwork, ready for working, and, their suspicions being excited by the peculiar mariner in which a large cask was concealed by a number of bags and sacks, they searched that also, and found inside a large tin can, partially emptied of its contents, but still containing seven gallons of turpentine. Tne spirit the prisoner claimed as his own, having, as ho said, taken it in ex change for some spirits of wine he bad sold to some French polishers he dealt with, but be declined saying of whom ho had received the can itself, and this was afterwards sworn to, from the initials stamped on it, by the warehouseman of Messrs. Gahoy and Wills, whole sale oilmen in Shoreditch, as their property, but to which of their customers supplied he could not tell. Upon this state of facts the prisoner Hackett was re manded on Saturday week, and upon his being trans ferred to the van, for removal to the House of Detention, his wife and the other prisoner King pressed forward and urgently demanded his name. The prisoner con fusedly answered them " Hackett," upon which one of the women exclaimed, " - it, you fool!" in a tone of vexation, and the prisoner was carried away. A Mr. William Watkins, an oil and colourman at Camden-town, was now in attendance, and stated—The can and turpentine produced by the police are my pro perty, and were sate at my door between six and seven on Friday evening week, bat stolen at ten. I had them from Messrs. Gabey and Wills, with whom I deal, and on the next (Saturday) evening the prisoner King en tered my shop and said, " You had a bit of lark here last night, didn't you?" I said, " Yes, I had, for some body had stolen a large can of turps." " Well," said she, " I have come to pay for it. Four men, car penters and shoemakers, all with wives and families, were out for a spree and got intoxicated, and, taking your can away without knowing what was in it, kicked it about till they smelt something de vilish strong." I said they could not very well have done that, it was so strong and heavy, but it did not matter, and, showing her my invoice, explained that I had sold three gallons, and that she had, therefore, to give me 1/. 9s. 3d. She said they had only given her a sovereign, and on her representation I consented to take it, gave her a receipt, and promised, if she brought me the can back to allow her si. more. She, however, did not bring me the can, and I never saw her again till now. sergeant Teakle said he saw the female pris"ner out side the court that morning, in company of Hackett's wife and mother, and, after cautioning her, asked if she had not been to the last witness's house, and paid some money, and got a receipt? " Oh," said the prisoner, " You have told me I am not bound to answer your questions unless I like, and I shall not, therefore. tell you;" upon which he took her into custody and placed her at the bar with Hackett. The sergeant added, that he had then several witnesses in c Curt to establish pos session of the stolen silk against Hackett, but, as he was still in want of the evidcncd of two more witnesses, one of them a constable, and should much prefer, in further ance of the ends of justice, that they should all be ex , amieed together, he trusted the magistrate would grant a remand until the requisite testimony could be ob tained to complete the case. Mr. Heritage, who was retained for the defence, strongly protested against the remand upon such incore plete evidence, as being unjust towards his client, and expressed an opinion that, even as regarded the second charge, the testimony adduced was wholly insnfficient to justify the male prisoner's detention. Mr. HimattLL, however, said that he not only felt it his duty to grant the interval the officers asked fur, but that he consid"red the evidence upon the second case so conclusive that he should send both the prisoners to New gate for trial upon it. SOUTHWARK. Mr. David Edwards and Mr . William Edwards (the former a magistrate in South Wales) were brought before Mr. Jardine, charged with smoking in one of the carriages on the Croydon Railway, and Mr. David Ed wards was charged with assaultiEg Mr. John Rowe, a gentleman holding a situation in the Government service. The complainant, whose right eye was much swollen, said that on Friday evening he came up from Dover in a second-class carriage, and on their arrival at the Anerley station the defendants got in and commenced smoking cigars immediately. There were several ladies in the carriage, and the smoking was a nuisance to them, which induced witness to interfere. Mr. David Edwards pushed his cigar into witness's face, when he knocked it out of his mouth, and received in return several blows on the eyes, which rendered him insensible for some time. The prisoners continued their unruly conduct until, the train arrived at the London-bridge station, when witness informed one of the constables connected with the rail way, and gave them into custody. Witness was em ployed by Government, and ought to be at Dover that morning on particular business, but he considered that on public grounds he was bound to press the present charge. Mr. David Edwards said he was a magis trate, and he defied any b— magistrate to interfere with him. Maria Dolman. a widow lady, said she was in the same carriage with Mr. Rowe, and saw the defendants get in at Anerley. As soon as they got in they lighted their cigars, and commenced smoking. Witness, as well as several other women, remonstrated with them, and hoped they would desist, when their language was dreadful towards Mr. Rowe. Mr. David Edwards, using very disgusting language, pushed his cigar into Mr. Rowe's face, and on that gentleman resisting hi m , he struck him several blows on the eye. Mr. JARDINE—Did you complain of the s moking first? Witness—l, as well as several other women, and, M appealed r. Rowe sitting near us, wecomplad, e to w e spoke h .ine m to have the nuisance abated. So soon as Mr. Rowe to them one of the gentlemen struck him.h the John William Boyd, a constable in South-Eastern Railway, said that on the te e a nl rr i lv le a y l off f him in the railway that the defendants had assaulted train at London-bridge station Mr. Rowe informed . him that mr. Rowe ' a face car riage, and had smoked their oigars, to the .... annoy a nce of the other passengers. Perceivin4 was bleeding he took defendants into custody. Witness produced the certified by-laws of the com smoked • pany, which imposed a penalty up on any person who a railway carriage. Mr. JA.RDINE said that such conduct must be re pressed, and he was sorry that gentlemen in their posi tion of life should commit themselves in such a disgrace ful manner. He should fine each of them 10s. for smoking in the railway carriage, and fine Mr. David Edwards 40s. for the assault. The defendants immediately paid the fine. WANDSWORTH. Mr. John Seward, of 8, Elereford-place, Commercial road, East, linendraper, was brought before Mr. Payn ter, charged by Mr. Charles F. Field, an inept ctor of the detective force, with feloniously receiving a quantity of mousselin-de-laine and French merinoes, the pro perty of the South-Western Railway Company. Mr. W. Wadham Young, the assistant-superintend ent of traffic on the South-Western line, Mr. Bent, the com pany's detective officer, Inspector Browman, of the G division, and Sergeant Shaw, of the detective force, were present, and produced an enormous package of French merinoes of various colours, as also mousselin de-laines, and a peculiar rich and rare black merino, the whole of which had been manufactured by a Paris house for the firm of Candy and Co., Watling-street, the latter LAMBETH. John Williams, a coach painter and wheelwright, was brought up on a summons charging him with neglecting to maintain his thr.e children. The case, as represented, was ono of considerable in justice towards the complainant, as well as cruelty to wards her unfortunate children. It appeured from the statement of the complainant that about fifteen years a‘zo the defendant had married her sister, who did nut long survive, and two years after her death he made proposais to and married her. From the time of their marriage, and down to February, 1849, the defendant lived with her, and treated her very well, but that year he left her and went to Morden, in Surrey, where he got employ ment, and used to allow her money for the support of her self and children. He soon, however, went to live at the house of a female who had a wheeler's shop there, and with whom he carried on an improper connexion, and two months ago, on her applying fur her usual sti pend, ho told her she had no further claim on him; that their marriage was not legal. In conclusion, the com plainant said that the defendant had left her with three children, one Henry, aged seven, Ellen four, and Alfred two years old last April. The poor woman stated that she had not the slightest notion that the marriage was illegal. '[ho defendant, when asked what he had to say, re plied that he could not deny the children were his, a n d it was his wish to contribute to their support. Mr. NORTON considered the conduct of the defendant exceedingly disreputable. However, as the law at pre sent stood, he could only make an award for the support of the children, as the illegitimate offspring of the de fondant, o me n n e t sch. M. fondant, and in doin g so ho regretted he coul d not of 7s. 6d. r compel him to pay more than halt-a-w N orton directed that an order for the a week, together with the expenses attending the present proceedings, should bo made out against the de fendant.

The trade, however, has been un influenced thereby, and except for approved marks of fresh made flour, and choice cuts of oatmeal, both of which are of scanty supply, the demand for most articles ruled extremely languid. Coastwise the arrivals of malt at Liverpool are to a moderate amount, but of other articles thence, or any produce from Ireland, very limited quantities are reported. From abroad liberal supplies of wheat, Indian corn, and flour have come to hand. At our market this morning, the weather being fine with a more settled appearance, a very lifeless feel ing prevailed, and wheat receded in value Id per 70Ib. Flour moved off slowly on the terms of this day se'nnight, and the same remark will apply to oats. The scarcity of oatmeal enabled holders to realize very full prices. WORCESTER, Aun. 2.—Wheat must be quoted at about the prices of last market day, viz., 17s to 18s per bag for white and les to 17s for red Engli , h. Farmers tried to obtain an ad vance upon these rates, but millers would not comply. Malt ing barley is becoming more in request, and the current price is 3s 4d to 3s 8d per bushel, distilling 3s 3d. English beans from 45 24 to 45 6d per bushel, and foreign from 3s 10d to 4s 4d. Old English oats, 3s 3d to 3s 6d per 391 b ' • Irish, 2 s 10d to 3s 2d. Winter 'vetches at 4 3 6d to 59 per bushel. Peas a retail sale at from 3s 6d to 4s for gray, and 3s 10d to 4s 6d for white. Stourbridge market on Friday presented a somewhat similar appearance to Worcester. Wheat was dull, but lower prices were not submitted to. Averagi , , 45s 4d per quarter. Goed malting barley was inquired fur, and we may say that the malting season is beg:rining to set in. An advance of 2d per bushel was obtained on good samples. Peas and beans no minally as last quoted. For oats quite as much money ob tained. Wolverhampton market was well supplied, and the weather being fine, it met a dull sale at last week's rates. English white IBs to 19s per 9 score 101 b, and 16s 6d to 17s 6d for red. A limited sale for foreign. Barley in moderate demand at former prices. Oats moved off slowly at from 215 to 22s per 3121 b for Irish, and 23s to 253 for English. Beans unchanged. English, 123 to 13s per 1961 b ; French, /2s ; and Egyptian, 11 s to Ils 6d. At Ki Iderminster the supply was equal to the demand, and as the millers are not disposed to advance, and the farmers hold on, trade ruled dull, with the tur❑ in favour of the seller. Reaping will be pretty general in favoured situations next week. It has already commenced. The potato crop promise s to be very abundant this year. NOTTINGHAM, Ago. 2.--The supply of wheat at market to-day was much less than last week, but the demand being ♦ery limited, all except the finest samples were i s per quarter lower. Grinding barley a retail trade at late prices. In oats and beans but little doing, without alteration in value. In the markets of Suffolk the trade has been dull, unless at lower rates. At Ipswich a reduction of Is was in many instances submitted .o for wheat; there was no other corn on offer. At Woodbridge sales were slow, at a like reduction. There were complaints in the market of the midge and the mildew having made their appearance in the wheat, and caused a great defect in the ear. On Thursday at Stowmarket there was little but wheat on offer, and to effect sales of this a slight reduction was ne cessary. GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, JULY 31.—The numbers at our market to-day were—oxen, 643 ; sheep, 1,966 ; lambs, 5,861. From the large supply sales were dull, and prices had a downward tendency. Best ox beef, 44s per cwt ; current, 42s ; cows, from 36s to 40s. At the close of the market a clearance had not been effected. Best aged wethers brought bid per lb, current sd, inferior 4d to 4id. Lambs varied in price from 7s to 18s, current from lOs to 14s. A few of both sheep and lambs turned out unsold. DALKEITH, JULY 31.—The relative weight per four bushels of the three prices of wheat were 18st 101 b, 18st 51b, and l7st 111 b. Oats, 12st 81b, 12st 41b, and 105 t 131 b.

CORK, AUG. I. The supply of home grain is small, the receipts for the w eek being only—wheat, 15 b arre l s • barley, 33 barrels ; oats, 326 ' barrels. Prices are unchan ge d. In foreign wheat the busi ness done has been on a retail scale, at about the rates of last week. The stock of oats here are very trifling, and the trans actions passing very limited. We cannot quote any alteration in the value of the article. The trade in flour is dull, and the business passing confined altogether to the supply of the snore_ pressing wants of the b a k ers . A rat h er l arge importation of American flour to hand this week, is not calculated to impart much buoyancy to a market already sufficiently depressed. The abundant supply of p o t a t oes i n t er f eres materially w ith the sale of coarse flours, which are consequently in but small demand' Indian corn is seriously affected from the same cause, and the tendency of the article is daily downward. In the presen t state of the market it is difficult to give prices, but if w e quote them at 6/ lOs to 61 15s per ton, we think we are pretty near the mark. Barrels. Currency.
