THE LEWES SHEEP FAIR (From the Sussex Advertiser of Tuesday.) 1. , Circa , : September Sheep Fair was held yesterday ct, Wetlands, near L-wcs. A more brilliant and t ed day, from morning till night, has not been t tring toe whole summer; and that, considering traordinary beauty of the season, is a great thing About 27,000 cheep and lambs were penned, an early hour the arrival of many distant flock - 111,..C. .Cl 3 and dealers betokened that it was likely to be a day of business. . this indication, we are happy to say, was fully borne out by the subsequent t r a nsact i ons . O ne of the com plaints frequently charged against our Sheep Fair is that no business can be done in the morning, but that buyer and seller can rarely " come together" till after dinner. On the present occasion, however, matters wore 'a different complexion. Our visitors evidently " meant business," and after a little cautious, but perhaps needful sparring, buyer and seller fairly got to work, and many transactions were closed before all the sheep bad arrived on the hill. As is pretty nearly always the case, the " top" lots were eagerly sought after, and of these—both ewes and lambs—sales were readily effected at satisfactory prices. There was likewise a brisk demand for strong useful ewes, of whiee the dealers from other counties were ready buy ers, at prices which, under all circumstances, were not to be cemplained of. Lambs of fair s:as and quality were also io demand at proportionate figures. Culls—both ewes and lambs—likewise found buyers at business-hko rates. The demand fur rums wee on the whole rather flat, ahhough some of our professed ram breeders were more fortunate, and effeek numerous satisfactory sales. Among the lots which particularly attracted attention were a pen of ten score iambs belonging to Wm. Catt, Esq., of Bishopstone. Th e y were a ll owe d by all to be a " crack" lot, and were sold at 21s. 6d. Mr. Emery, of Trturstoa, had a pen of very fine ewes for which he obtained 38s. Messrs. Hampton, of Applesham, had a pen of 100 ewes, two score of which were picked at 425., being bought for the Duko of Portland ; the remaining sixty being sold to make up au average of 355., the price for which Messrs. llerepton had last week sold a similar lot of 100, to the agent of the Hoe. C. C. Cavendish, Buckinghamshire. Messrs. Hampton had also a pen of nearly two score rams and ram lambs, about two-thirds of which found a sale, several of them being bought by the agents of the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Essex, and Lord Deere. Mr. Tanner, of Patcham, had some capital ewes, for the top lots of which he ob tained 305., and 225. for his culls. A pen of lambs were also sold by the same breeder at 225. We heard of but one sale of lambs above this quotation, viz.—by Mr. Thomas Ellman, who was enabled to score 245. as his figure. A pen of wether togs sent by Mr. J. Ilitimqu, fetched 30s. Among the general sales wo hes.ra qdoted—Colonel Paine, ewes, 245. 6d.; 11ev. J. G aing, ditto, 255. ; Scrase, (Ditchling), ditto, 28s; T. Ssxhy, ditto, 243; W. Tompsett, ditto, 245., lambs, 185. ; J. Waters, ewes, 295, lambs, 21s. ; Pagde? ewes, 255. ; Mr. Britten, ditto, 245. ; W• K. Sampson, ditto, 255. ; Gorringe (Berlin), ditto, 275., lambs, 20s. ; J. P. Gorringe, ewes, 288. ; W. Shooemith, lambs, 20s. ; W. Elpbick (Newhaven), ewes, 255. 6d., lambs, 20e ; A. Denman, ewes, 253. 6d ; Hardwick (Islangletun), lambs, 193. ; Turner (Chinton), cull lambs, 17s. 6d. Iu addition to the above, a good many sales have beets sffseted by our agriculturists during the last few days among their private connexions ; thus Mr. T. Boy s sold a pen of very fine ewes at 503., hi s " secon d s " fetching 30s. ; and this practice has, we und e r s t a nd, prevailed in many instances—we trust at equally remu nerating prices. By the above quotations, it will be seen that good ewes ranged from 245. to 305., and even 385., according to quality, lambs making from 17s. to 18s., 205., and 225. Culls, of both descriptions, of course went at a low figure; but these are just the sort of transactions of each no one is desirous of furnishing the records, and are, for all piaetical purposes, comparatively im material. Upon the whole, the Lewes September Sheep Fair of 1851 may be pronounced to have been a good selhug fair. There waa a brisk business throughout the thy; and if the prices obtained did not range quite so high as in former years, we believe we aro fully qua lified in stating that they exceeded what was expected, and may be considered satisfactory according to the times. Owing to the general briskness, business was conclude 1 at an earlier hour than usual, and at about four o'clock the appearance of the pens showed that there were not many lots remaining unsold. Indeed, so far from sellers having to lower their pretensions as the day waned, we understand that the contrary was the case, the result being a very satisfactory clearance. LANDPORT ANNUAL SHEEP SALE. Mr. Ellman's annual sale of pure Southdowns took place a$ Landport on Saturday last, being, according to long-established custom, fixed for the day preceding the Lewes great sheep fair. The attendance was not so numerous as usual, nor, as will be seen by the prices obtgined, did the sale go off with the spirit that could have been wished, despite the special announcement at the foot of the catalogue that Messrs. Verrall and Son were " enabled to recommend the aged ewes most strongly to gentlemen wishing to breed rams, as they are toe best ever offered by Mr. Ellman for sale." Among the company present we noticed Lord Berners, gir H. Shiffeer, Bars., Sir Edward Baker, Colonel Paine, John Day, Esq., J. G. Blencowe, Esq., G. Molineux, Esq., Woodhouse, Esq., Wilson, Esq. (Cheshire), Rociter, Eeq., Messrs. C. Burrell, T. Boys, E. Cane, A. Denman, T. Ellman, G. Ellman, F. Ellman, G. Farncombe, S. Grantham, Gamble (Norfolk), Harvey (Staniner), H. Harr, Scott flay ward, Line (Alfrison), W. Rigden, Sadler (Levant), Shoosmith (Berwick), W. Tanner, Ward (Burhatn), Jules, Webb (Bdbraham), &c., &c, The sheep were conveniently arranged in pens on the lawn in front of the house, and were carefully inspected by intending purchasers, 53 well as by those who came to look on rather than to purchase. According to custom, a handsome collation was served in Mr. Ellman's resi denc,, of which, without exception, the assembled party were hospitably invited to partake, prior to entering upDri the more important business of the day. Verrall and Son, who by a sort of prescriptive right wield the hammer at these sales, commenced pro ceedings by offering the first pun of five full-mouthed ewes, which were speedily knocked down to Mr. H. Hart, of B,d , lingham, at 80s. a head. Mr. E. Cane secured a similar lot at 755., Mr. A. Denman coming in for a third pen at 703., the fourth and last pen of five being bought by a gentleman named Woodhouse, from a distant county. Lot 5 was a pen of ten full-mouthed ewes of which Mr. A. Dantean was the buyer at 585., the second lot falling to Sir Edward Baker at 503., Mr. Denman again coming in for the succeeding lot at 525. After this me prices declined, and 435., 405., 375., 335., 305., and finally 295., were the figures appended to the subse quent, lots. The shearling ewes commenced at 585., Mr. Denman buyer; Col. Paine secured the next lot at 503., after which there was a sudden fall to 445., 425., and 405., the remaining 100 sheep going at prices gradually from 375. even down to 275., notwithstanding that buyers from distant counties were competitors. The rams for letting were then brought forward; but although the number on the card was limited, they more than but/laud for the demand, only three being hired, viz., one at 121. 125., by Mr. Woodhouse; a second by Mr. Gamble, at 131. 2s. 6d ; and the third by Mr. Itiwien, at 231. 2s. In the rams for sale but little was done. A three year old, bred by No. 5, fetched 61. 65., and one or two others were knocked down at 41. 4s. in fact, there seemed no sort of competition for this class of animals. On analysing the prices obtained, the average appears to be as follows: AVERAGES. per head.

The hospitalities which were wont to distinguish Gly,tide were duly renewei, and a large party of friends, arid of the " buyers," were handsomely entertained by Mr. Ellman at dinner. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Sept. 23.) SUGAIL—To-day the rates obtained tor West India __- Sugar were equal to those of Friday, and merchants appear firm. The demand was however small for home consumption, and only 414 hbds, &c., were sold, in cluding at auction 170 latids l3arbadoes , a part o n ly o f which found buyers at the previous currency; good to fine yellow went at 36s 6d to 40s 6d, mid 34s 6d to 365, and low 33s to 34s per cwt. IiE7INED.—To-day the home trade demand for Re fined Sugar is good, yet brown lumps were attainable at 44s to 44s 6d per cwt, there being still a plentiful sup ply.

Foreign Cocoa is rather more in request; Bahia and Para realize 26s to 28s; Guayaquil 308 to 31s per cwt. COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon Coffee was held for previous rates, but a reluctance was manifested to operate for home consumption and exportation. Of 1,163 bags at auction a small portion only sold at 39s 6d to 40s for good and real good ord. The damaged went at 343 6d to 38s 6d. Of Plantation 105 casks sold at previous terms, but biddings were languid, low mid to mid went at 50s to 535; Triage 315 6d to 40s; and Pea Berry 60s to 61s 6d.

Low quality has been selling at Bi-d to Bid, good ord 9d to 9id, mid blackish leak lld to 1 lid, strong ditto is to is Id, superior and Pekoe flavour is lid to is 6d. In Sosichong purchases have been trifling, and there are sellers of common to mid at 9d to ls, good to fine is Id to is 7d, and superior is 8d to 2s; supply also continues to increase. There are few buyers of Oolong, and merchants are disposed to ac cept from lld to is 3d, and for fine is 4d to is 7d. Iu the market for inferior and medium sorts of Green much dulness prevails, ann in consequence of the large parcels on offer prices have again given way. A fair demand has been expressed for good and fine qualities, but previous terms are readily accepted. In Scented and Pekoe Teas there is yet little passing, and prices have a downward tendency. To-day there was a re luctance to operate in Tea at the public sales, and former rates are supported with difficulty for Black and Green. Of 10,000 pkgs offered, only 2,200 actually found buyers. Rim—This afternoon rather lower rates were taken for East India Rice ; the consequence was that 5,320 bgs and 139 pks Bengal at auction were nearly all dis posed of—good white went at 9s to 93 6 d, mid 8s 6d, small broken 7s to 7s 6d, and dansagsed7:er to 6s e t b7 o os 8 but 633 bgs Madras were take6nrbga at bought d h t 6f in sound pinkey.

SPIRITS.—There is a reluctance to operate in East India Rum, and prices have slightly declined, sales having been made at Is 3d to 18 3id per gallon proof, and there is a more plentiful supply. Leeward Island is dull of sale, and can be obtained at Is 4id to is 54d proof. Operations in Denaerara have been upon a small scale, and a desire is evinced to sell 32 to 40 over at 2s id to 2s 3d, and 28 to 30 ever is 10d to 2s. There are few buyers of Jamaica for any purpose, and supply is on the increase; in the value of fine there is scarcely any variation, but prices are drooping for other sorts. For Havannah few buyers are to be mut with, and is 2d is the nearest value proof. Brandy has not improved in value, although a good demand prevails, but stock re mains heavy. Cognac, best brands of the vintage 1850, which has been most in request, realised 4s 4d to 4s 6d; there is, however, a desire to sell 1849 at 4a 7d to 4s ad, 1848 ditto 5s to 5s 2d, older 5s 4d to 6s 4d, low to mid 2s 9d to 3s 9d, and Bourdeaux 2s 2d to 2s 4d.

British refined is in good request at 29s to 30s. Several purchases have been made in Nitrate of Soda at 14s 6d to 15s per cwt. INDIGO.—To-day 600 srns Guatemala Indigo were offered at public sale, and about two-thirds sold; good and fine sorts averaged former rates, but low and mid went ld to 2d lower; Sobres sold at from 2s 9d to 34 Bd, and Cortes 3s 8d to 4s 9d. COCHINEAL.—A good business has been concluded, and a small advance was obtained for Silvers; but prices have slightly given way for black.

The value of black is 3s 2d to 3s 51; Teneriffe from 3s 3d to 3s 10d. FRUlT.—There is already a plentiful supply of new Valentis, Raisins, and there are sellers at 37s to 385, but the trade operate with reluctance; old, however, is wanted at 27s to 28s. A good demand prevails for now Currants at 425, and few parcels are in the market; old, however, met with a slow sale at 32s to 40s, and low 24s to 30s. There are few buyers of new Turkey pulled Figs, Sultanas or Muscatels, and 608 to 65s is the value. TALLow.—There is less demand for Russian on the spot, and prices have receded, fine old yellow Candle selling at 38s 6d to 395, and new at 39s 3d to 39s 6d per cwt. Only limited contracts have been entered into for delivery, and lower rates are acceded to ; sales having been made at 39s 6d to 39s 9d for last three months of the year, and at 40s for the early part of 1852. Home melted, however, continues in good demand, and realises 375 6d to 38s• net cash, but supply is plentiful. Other sorts are more plentiful, and rather cheaper. Of 1,100 pkgs South American at auc tion not above half sold at 33s to 38s 6d for low to fine; 330 casks Sydney—Mutt , ,n 36s to 395; Beef at 35s 6d to 375 63.

Cod is held for 361 to 361 10s ; but only trifling purchases have been made. South ern is, however, wanted, and supply being small, holders are enabled to obtain 31/ to 33/ lOs for low to fine; but a decline is shortly looked for. A good de mand exists for Sperm at 851 to 87/, but the market will be more freely supplied shortly. Headmatter is still selling at 921 to 94/, and is scarce. Olive continues to find a free sale ; merchants have confidence, and obtain for Gallipoli 401 lOs to 411 10s ; other sorts 39/ to 401. Although Linseed Oil is to be obtained at 31s 6i per cwt ou the spot; operations have been limited by exporters and home consumers. For delivery up to the close of the year there are sellers at 30s 9d to 31s; and for the early part of 1852 at 30s 3d to 30s 6d; still few contracts have been entered into.

Palm has been operated in with caution; and there aro sellers of good to fine at 26s to 275. Cocoa Nut Oil is less wanted; and more desire is evinced to sell Cochin at 32s to 345; Ceylon 31s to 335; Sydney at 28s to 30s 6d. The value of Lard Oil is 42s to 455, and in small supply.

HENRY DIMSDALE AND °THOM At the sitting of the Learned Baron this morning, Mr. Hobler applied on behalf of the defendant, Henry Diinsdale, for leave to issue a writ of habeas corpus, returnable forthwith, directed to the keeper of the Queen,s Benoh Prison, to bring up the defendant for the purpose of his being admitted to bail, to surrender at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court, to an indictment, at the instance of Mr. Jarman, prefer red against the defendant and others, for assaulting the prosecutor by throwing eggs and bags of flour, on their return from the last Epsom races. The Learned Gentleman said he had given notice of the intended bail to the prosecutor, and he fully understood that no opposition would be offered to the application. The Learned JUDGE said, under the circumstances, the writ might issue; and at the request of Mr. Hobler, appointed half-past one for taking the bail. At that hour the defendant was brought up in cus tody. The several parties, as also the bail, being in at tendance, The Learned JUDGE asked the solicitor for the pro secution if there was any objection to the sufficiency ? Mr. Jarman said he did not propose to offer any. The bail having justified in 2001. each, and entered into the requisite recognizances, the recognizances of the defendant in 4001. were signed and taken, and an order made for his discharge, COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 23. IN RE ISEMONOER AND ISEMONGER. The bankrupts were morel:lents of Little Hamp ton, Sussex. This was a meeting for the choice of assignees and proof of debts. The debts and liabili ties were said to be between 2,0001. and 3,0001., the assets about 3001., independent of some property which was mortgaged, a surplus from which was ex pected. Mr. N. Dyer and Mr. E. Corney, of Little Hamp ton, were appointed assignees. A gentleman representing some creditors residing in the north of England made an application to his Honour that a north country creditor should be joined with the Little Hampton ones. His HONOUR said the creditors were to determine; the court was not ever to be called upon to counsel them whom they were to choose. Those who at tended were to rote and choose. The only ground for the court to interfere was when the persons chosen were unfit, and nothing of that sort had been shown in this case. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 23. (Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.) IN RE JOSEPH STAMMERS. This insolvent, lately lessee of the Marylebone Theatre, applied for his discharge, which was un opposed. The Learned COMMISSIONER examined the sche dule, and inquired if any of the performers em ployed at theiMarylebone Theatre were creditors ? The insolvent replied that 50 or 60 persons were, some for the current week's salary at the period of his arrest, and some for arrears. Altogether about 100 persons were employed in the theatre. The insolvent was ordered to be discharged forth with. IN RE EDWARD RICHARDS. This insolvent wai opposed by Mr. James, a tailor, who stated that the insolvent ordered a suit of clothes of him in June last, to be sent to Anderson-street, Chelsea, an address that was not mentioned in the de scription. The insolvent said he had not resided in Anderson street, but had his letters and parcels addressed to that place. He resided at that period at Battersea. Mr. NicuoLs, who supported, submitted that as the insolvent's real residence was mentioned i❑ the description the Court would not require a re-adver tisement. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER, however, decided that the decription was insufficient, and adjourned the case for the insolvent to advertise himself as of An derson-street. IN RE JOSEPH BELL. Mr. Coosa applied in this case for a dismissal of the petition filed under the protection statutes, and for leave to file one under the Ist and 2d Victoria, c. 110. The insolvent was in custody upon an attach ment from the Court of Chancery for non-payment of a sum of money as a contributory to the North of England Banking Company, and as he, therefore, was a partner in that company he was liable to the bankrupt laws, and could not petition under the Pro tection Acts, his debts exceeding 3001. The COMMISSONER granted the application. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Sept. 23. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates, at the Guildhall, West minster.) Harried M'auseley, aged 19, was indicted for having stolen a pair of stays and other articles of the value of 11s., and the sum of sd, the property of W. Austin, under the following circumstances : It appeared that the prosecutor is a private in the Sd battalion of Grenadier Guards, and that whilst he was on duty, in the month of July last, at Spring gardens-gate, St. James's-park, he observed the pri soner wandering about as though in a state of all but starvation, and in a very dilapidated conditi on i n re spect to health. He spoke to her, and finding her to be in the weakly state which her external appearance had indicated, he told her to go to his home, No. 13, Lower Crown-street, Westminster, where she would find his wife, who would give her something to eat upon her stating that he had sent her. Accordingly, the prisoner went, when the prosecutor's wife gave her some coffee and bread and butter, and also allowed her the use of water, soap, and towel, with which to wash herself. Upon the prosecutor's return home he told her that as it was night she might sleep there. appeared to be most For h thankful, t i b a o u o d n h thee accordinglyprisoner desired his wife to make up a bed for her on the floor. Here she slept that night. In the course of conversation the prisoner was a stranger in London, her home at Chichester, and d d h th ad e prarousec awayuto r that ra t she whereupon, as the girl appeared to lament the step she had adopted, the prosecutor offered to put himself in communication with her father, with a view to her being restored to her home. On the following morn ing the prosecutor and his wife went out for a short time, and during their absence the prisoner had made up a bundle of some of his wife's clothes, and walked off with it. Nothing more was heard of the girl until the 3d of the present month, when she was met by the prosecutor, having on at the time the bonnet and shawl of his wife. Of course he at once gave her into custody. The prisoner now made no defence. The Learned JUDGE having summed up the evi dence, The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned JUDGE then said that the conduct of the prosecutor in this matter was in the highest degree creditable to him, not only as a soldier, but as an Eng lishman. The Court deemed it necessary to say that much, for whenever a soldier was convicted before him of an offence against the criminal law, he never spared censure of the severest kind. Upon all occasions, therefore, when the opportunity offered, it afforded him much gratification to be able to commend the conduct of a British soldier. It was by such men as this prosecutor that the real honour and integrity of the British army were supported. With respect to the prisoner, her conduct had been marked by the blackest ingratitude. The sentence upon her—she was well known, it appeared, to the officers—was imprisonment and hard labour for six months. Charles llancoch, aged 25, was indicted for having stolen a carpet and other articles of the value of 31., the property of Newby Hutchinson. The prisoner, it appeared, had been in the service of the prosecutor, an upholsterer, in Oxford -street, for a short time, but was discharged some time in the month of June. The principal witness against the prisoner was a young woman of the name of Eliza May, the wife of John May, of No. 6, Queen-street, Golden-square, who had lived in adultery with the prisoner for nearly two years. The evidence of this witness went to show that during the time the prisoner had been in the service of th e prosecu t or h e h a d been in the habit of bri ng i ng var i ous ar ti c l es h o me, of which those now charged in the indictment as having been stolen were a part. S ome o f the things, at thein stigation of the prisoner, she had pawned at Chap man's, in London-street, Tottenham-court-road. Eventually a quarrel arose between her and the pri soner, and upon her expressing her determination to SEPTEMBER 24, 1851. leave him, he refused to allow her to tike away her clothes. After some difficulty she obtained possession of her clothes, and among them she found the dupli cates of the prosecutor's property. Hence the present prosecution. In cross-examination the prisoner asked the witness whether she was not his wife. The witness denied that she was his wife, and added that she was the wife of John May. The prisoner—What, were we not married in Ja nuary, 1850, at Trinity Church, in the New-road ? The witness—No, I never was married to you. The prisoner said he would most solemnly swear that he was married to the witness at the time he had stated, and at the church he had mentioned. That being so, then, as a wife could not give evidence against a husband, he besought the jury to pay no attention to what she had sworn, The witness, in reply to a question from the Court, stated that she was the wife of John May. and had never been married to the prisoner. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, said that it was of no use for him to say anything, for the woman had made up her mind to convict him by false evidence. In conclusion he declared most solemnly that she was his lawful wife. The Learned JUDGE left the case to the jury, who found the prisoner Guilty. The Learned JUDGE sentenced him to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. James Reilly, aged 28, was convicted of having un lawfully and violently assaulted and wounded Emily Marriott. The details of this case appeared in our police re ports a few days since. The Learned JUDGE sentenced the prisoner to 8 months' imprisonment and hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Charles Appleby, a middle-aged man of respecta ble appearance, who stated that he was an under graduate of the Dublin University, was charged with obtaining 401. by false pretences. Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, attended for the pro secution ; and Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, defended the prisoner. - Mr. Thomas Frank Judd, of 11, Clarence-road, Kentish-town, said—l was walking near the Crystal Palace, in Hyde-park, during the latter part of De cember last, when I accidentally met the prisoner, whom I had known formerly as the master of a pro prietary school at Cheltenham, where I was then a pupil. He asked me what I was doing, and I told him I was a clerk in the Admiralty. I asked him what he was doing, and he replied, " I am a barrister in the Temple." After some other conversation I said that I felt inclined to study for the bar myself, and asked him what was the usual course of pro ceeding, and the expense of entering as a student. He said if I would call upon him at his lodgings, at 6, Grafton-street East, he would give me every in formation. I called upon him a few days afterwards and said I would have my name entered, and he then stated that he should require 401. to pay for my ad mission. I procured the money and accompanied him to the Temple, where he left me, as he repre sented, to go to the treasurer's-office and pay in the amount. Presently he returned to me and produced some papers, one of which purported to be a receipt for the amount. I remarked that it was not stamped, and told him that I thought the Temple people ought to conduct business in a better manner. He returned and produced another receipt, signed " H. Compton, treasurer," and duly stamped. After showing me the receipt, he said, " Now you are a student of the Tem ple." This was on the 24th of January last. I was shortly afterwards taken ill, and consequently did not discover until August last that my name had never been entered at either the Inner or Middle Temple, but that he had entered his own name instead. Mr. Lewis cross-examined the witness with the view of ascertaining if there had not been some other money transactions between the parties, but the only facts elicited were that he had occasionally lent the prisoner smaller sums, including 31, one Saturday, to enable him to go to Brighton. The prisoner instructed his solicitor to put other questions to the witness, but they were so obviously irrelevant or untrue, that:Mr. Lewis felt it his duty to abandon the defence. Mr. Clarkson said he should call witnesses to prove that the name of Mr. Judd bad not been entered upon the books of either of the societies, and if a remand was granted it would be probably in their power to show, by other evidence, that the exact money paid by Mr. Judd had been used by the prisoner to place his own name on the books instead of that of the pro secutor. Mr. Robert Scott, assistant-treasurer of the Inner Temple, produced the book containing the names of the students of the society, and stated that no person of the name of "Francis Judd" was included in the list. The name of " Charles Appleby" appeared in the book, and witness identified the prisoner as having entered his name on the 24th of January, and paid the sum of 351. 63. sd. He entered into the usual bond, and had since kept his terms. The 351. was paid in bank-notes, and it might be possible to ascertain their numbers from the bankers, Messrs. Gosling and Co. The prisoner could not be called to the bar until three years after the date of his admis sion as a student. Dr. Lushington is the present treasurer of the Inner Temple. Witness did not know any person of the name of "Compton" in the office. Mr. E. Eldred, the sub-treasurer of the Middle Temple, proved that no student of the name of " Judd" was admitted as a student of that inn at the time in question. The prisoner was not a barrister of the Middle Temple nor a student. Mr. IL Long manna is the current treasurer, and no one of the name of " Compton" is known to the office. Baldwin, 273, City police, stated that he appre hended the prisoner in Newgate-street, on Saturday afternoon, by the direction of Mr. Judd, who called him for that purpose. The prisoner, on being told that he was charged with obtaining money under false pretences, asked Mr. Judd to settle it in another way for the sake of his child. He said, "Itis a pri vate matter and ought to be settled privately." Mr. Judd declined, saying that he would not compromise a felony. The prisoner, on being asked for his reply to the charge, stated that he had only been able to have a few moments' conference with his solicitor in the cell, and, by his advice, he should reserve his defence. It appeared that the prisoner was also liable to prosecution for forgery, but there was no wish to proceed against him on the more serious charge. Mr. llBmax remanded him for further examination. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. George Hamilton Gritton was charged with having stolen the sum of 101. 2s. 94., belonging to Mr. Wil liam Samuel Burton, furnishing ironmonger, of 39, Oxford-street. Smith, 16 E, apprehended the prisoner on Thurs day last, and told him he wanted him for embez zling 101. and upwards from Mr. Burton. The pri soner said, "They don't mean to press the charge, do they ?" On his way to the station the prisoner said he had been very foolish ; it was the only act of dishonesty he had ever committed, and he would take care it should be the last. This he repeated several times. The prisoner, who said he had no defence to offer, was committed for trial. CLERKENWELL. Mr. John Batten, aged 33, of 70, Southampton street, Pentonville, master-plasterer, was placed at the bar before Mr. Combe, charged with unlawfully as saulting Sarah Maidment, a girl 14 years of age, with intent to violate her.—The prisoner was remanded. LAMBETH. William Bowen, a well-dressed young man, who was described in the charge-sheet as a clerk, residing at 2, Agnes-street, Waterloo-road, was brought be fore Mr. Elliott, charged with committing a most outrageous assault on Eliza Smith, a young girl about 16 years of age, with intent to commit a rape. The complainant, who cried very much during the examination, and appeared to be suffering extreme pain from the prisoner's violence, said that about the the end of August she left her parents' roof in York shire for the purpose of seeking a situation in London. Having some friends here she succeeded about a fort night ago, when she entered into an engagement with a lady in York-place, York-road, to remain with her six months, as companion. On Sunday night, about nine o'clock, she went out for a walk, and proceeding a greater distance than she intended, lost her way. She felt very much alarmed, and asked several persons the way back to York-place, when she again missed her way, and meeting the prisoner at the corner of a street, asked him to point out to her the way home. He re plied that he was going to the York-road, and he would show her the nearest way. Believing him to be a re spectable single young man she readily accepted his pro posal, and accompanied him up a Street which she had ascertained since was Granby -street. Perceiving the railway at the end and some railway carriages, she turned round to him and said, " Surely that is not the way to the York-road." He replied, " Oh, it's all right—it's th• nearest way. When they got to the end of the street he seized bold of and threw her down in a recess, when ho pulled her about in an indecent manner. She struggled hard with him and screamed very loud for help, but he nearly completed her ruin before any one came to her assistance. (Here the poor girl described the brutal manner in which she had been treated, the particulars of which are unfit for publication.) James Bridge, a carpenter, residing at 8, Griffin street, York-road, said that about half-past nine o'clock on Sunday night he was going home through Granby-street. When he got near the end he stood talking to a woman, when be heard the screams of another woman a short distance off. There being so many bad characters living about there, and such noises being of frequent occurrence, he took no no tice at first, but the screams were continued weaker and weaker, as if from some one in distress. Lie accordingly proceeded to the spot whence they pro ceeded, when he saw the prisoner lying on the com plainant in a very disgusting position. She was struggling very hard to get up. Witness immediately seized hold of the prisoner and called out for assist ance, when a police •constable came up and secured him. The poor girl became insensible, and it was some time before she recovered sufficiently to give him in charge. She then detailed the whole of the cir cumstances. lames Nunn, police-constable 236 L, said about eleven o'clock on Sunday night he was on duty near the New-cut when he heard cries for assistance, and proceeding in their direction he saw the prisoner in the custody of last witness. He gave him in charge for assaulting the woman, who was in a very bad state. Her clothes ware much torn and very dirty. The prisoner's dress was in a disordered state. The prisoner said in defence, that about half-past ten on Sunday night he met the complainant near the railway-station in the Waterloo-road. She came up to him and said, " Old fellow, you seem rather lushy." He replied, perhaps he was; when she asked him to treat her. He told her that he would not at present. She then asked him the way to the York road, and they both walked along Granby-street. When they got to the encl of the place she stole his pocket-handkerchief, and when he took it from her she screamed, which brought a man to the spot, who collared him and gave him into custody. He denied having assaulted her in the manner described. James Bridge was recalled, and asked by the ma gistrate whether he saw the prisoner in the position he had described ? The witness replied that such was the case; there was no truth whatever in the pri soner's statement. Mr. ELLIOTT said he never heard of a more brutal and outrageous assault, and the impudent defence set up by the prisoner aggravated the offence. He should commit him for trial at the ensuing sessions, where no doubt he would receive that punishment his cow ardly attack so well merited. He was accordingly committed for trial. THAMES. William Smith, van proprietor, of Margaret-street, Salmon-lane,:Limehouse, was charged with:committing a most violent assault on Mary Isabella Pierce, a mar ried woman, living at Middle Shadwell. It appeared from the evidence of the complainant (whose face exhibited several excoriations which were still bleeding), and other witnesses, that about three o'clock that afternoon the prisoner was removing the goods of a neighbour in a van, which was in the care of a lad, the servant of the prisoner, when the com plainant with some other women got into the vehicle which they drove about. The prisoner, hearing of the conduct of the complainant and her friends, seized hold of the former and dragged her out of the cart. He afterwards severely lashed her with his whip over her face and shoulders, and inflicted several deep cuts on her face and neck. He also commenced a similar attack on the other women, who were, however, as sisted by their friends, and as they were about to re taliate on the prisoner, he ran away and got into a house for protection. The prisoner, who admitted that he had exercised much unnecessary severity, was fined 2.05., or in de fault 14 days' imprisonment. HAMMERSMITH. _ _ Levy Le Grand, aged 51 y ears, who stated that he was a teacher of languages, but a physician by profession, residing at 2, Ann's-place, Queen-street, Hammersmith, was brought before Mr. Paynter, charged with decoying and indecently assaulting a boy, named Richard Wilding, aged 11 years. There was a second case against the prisoner of assaulting a girl, named Rachael Harris, of tender years. The proceedings created considerable interest in a crowded court, but are unfit for publication. Mr. PAYNTER said he should remand the case for a week and would take bail for his appearance, himself in 2001., and two good securities in 1001. each. He should require 24 hours' notice of the bail. The prisoner was then removed to the House of Detention in the police van. James Broggerij; the landlord of the Ennismore Arms public-house, near Princes gate, Kensington, appeared on two summonses, taken out,,by Mr. John Eiger, the extensive builder, for having unlawfully and maliciously destroyed a turnstile or tollgate, and with assaulting William Foley in the execution of his duty. The question tarned upon the right of way upon a pathway to the defendant's premises. It was stated by Mr. Lewis that the estate called Princes-gate estate had been purchased of the Earl of Listowel by Mr. Eiger, for building purposes. The defendant's house had been erected about five years, and the land belonging to it was private property. There was no thoroughfare, and a gate was locked at ten o'clock at night. The defendant had applied to Mr. Eiger in January last to have the gate kept open until twelve o'clock at night for the convenience of his customers. Mr. Eiger refused, and in July last a turnstile was erected, by the desire of the inhabitants, for the purpose of preventing the passing of too many per sons, as they very naturally might do, as the road from the pathway leads to the transept entrance of the Exhibition. A penny was charged for each person, and Mr. Eiger did not place the proceeds in his private purse, but presented the money to St. George's Hospital. The defendant and his servants were allowed a free passage, and were exempt from the toll. The defendant, however, considered the pathway a public thoroughfare, and on the 13th inst. he and his servant proceeded to destroy the tollgate, which was the subject of the present complaint. Mr. John Eiger and his clerk proved the pathway to be private property, and produced the lease of the estate. Mr. Martin contended that the pathway in question was dedicated to the public, and WAS therefore public property. ➢lr. PAYNTER said he always thought the pathway was a private one, but before be gave any decision he would visit the place and refresh his recollection. Mr. Martin said he could call witnesses to prove that the pathway had been in existence for 20 years. After some further conversation the parties arranged the dispute.

CHRIST'S HOSPITAL. The annual recitation by the scholars of this ancient foundation, better known as the Blue Coat School, takes place usually on the 21st of September, marked in the calendar as St. Matthew's Day, but as that festival fell this year on Sunday, the more secular business of the recitations, Sac., was postponed till yesterday, when a large concourse of the parents and friends of the pupils, to the number of at least 2,000 persons, assembled in the finely antiquely decorated hall of the hospital. The boys, to the number of 700, were ranged at the east end of the hall, on either side of the great organ ; and as every other part of the building was crowded to excess with the company, consisting chiefly of ladies, the effect of the scene was unusually animating. The Lord Mayor presided on the occasion, attended by the Sheriffs, Aldermen Farncomb, Sydney, Carden, and W. Hunter, and the Common-Sergeant. About one o'clock the business of the day com menced, when recitations o❑ the following subjects were delivered by the under-mentioned scholars : Latin Oration, on the Benefits of the Royal Hos pitals—Henry Dove Sweeting, third Grecian and mathematical medallist, 1851. English Oration, on the same Subject—Gilbert Wilson Brown4first Grecian and Times scholar, who is proceeding to Emmanuel College, Cambridge. French Oration, on the same Subject—George Charles Bell, second Grecian and classical medallist, 1851, who is proceeding to Lincoln College, Oxford. Latin Alcaics, on " Columbus"—Claude Hubert Pare; twelfth Grecian. Greek lambics, translation of the Chief Justice's Apology and King Henry's Reply, from Shakspere —Henry Bawden Parkin, sixth Grecian. Latin Elegiac; on " Lucretia"—Hadarezer Henry Stone, tenth Grecian. Greek Sapphics, on " Queen Elizabeth"—John George Gauntlett, seventh Grecian. Latin Hexameters, translation of "Scepticism," from Campbell's " Pleasures of Hope"---John Wilberforce Doran, eighth Grecian. Latin Sapphics, on " England's Invitation to the Nations"—Henry Rogers levers, eleventh Grecian. English Ode, on "Rome "—Henry Ludlow, ninth Grecian. We may mention that there was also to have been a Greek oration on the benefits of the Royal Hos pitals, but the young gentleman who was to havo de livered it (R. A. Lloyd, fifth Grecian) was unfortu nately absent from ill health. The orations that were delivered were given with great effect and animation and it was evident that the young reciters entered heartily into the spirit of their respective themes.' In the English oration, Mr. Brown made a graceful allu sion to the Christ Church scholars, who, proceeding from the school last year, had burne off the following honours from Cambridge University during the last session there : Williams-sth of the first class of the classical :ripos. _ . _ Searle-10th Wrangler. Hammond—specially mentioned by the examiners for Davies's University Scholarship, as nearly equal to the successful competitor. Townsend-2d Rell's scholar. Ha also alluded, as did several of the other reciters, to the lamented death of Mr. Hotham Pigeon, the treasurer of the school, who had died within the past year. After the recitations, according to time-honoured custom, the "glove" was sent round among the visitors, to collect subscriptions for the young gen we believe there tlemen proceeding to college, and was on this occasion no falling off from the anc' liberality shown by the visitors to Christ Church.
