A letter from Rome of th e 10th, in the Univers, s t a tes that great excitement has been caused at Rome by the appearance of the British fl , et off the coast of Sicily, which is attributed t o some secret po li t i ca l project. According to this correspondent, a rumour is current that the squadron has a quantity of arms on board for the Sicilians, and that the said murderous weapons are landed whenever an opportunity offers, and conveyed to secret recesses known only to the demagogical faction, and that England is preparing a new insurrection throughout Italy, in which laudable pursuit she is aided and abetted by Piedmont ! The writer indulges, in support of his assertions, in the most absurd reflections, attributing the projects of Afazzini, and the Aldborough conspiracy lately dis covered in Tuscany, to the machinations of the Bri tish Government. THE CANADIAN LAND AND RAILWAY ASSOCIATION. At the weekly meeting of this association, held ak their offices, 18, Aldermanbury, City, Mr. Frederick Searle in the chair, Mr. ALEX. CAMPBELL (the secretary) reported that since their last meeting he had received a communi cation from Canada, stating that the Canadian Le gislature had authorised the Government there to issue debentures, which were to be guaranteed by the Imperial Governmet, to the extent of 16,000,000 dolls., as the Canada contribution for the expense of constructing the great trunk line of railway from Halifax, in Nova Scotia, through New Brunswick to Quebec ; he had also received information that the Government of New Brunsiek hai been recon structed and pledged to support the railway p o l icy, and that there was no doubt of their being able to do so successfully. Mr. Campbell also read a letter received that day from the Hon. Joseph Howe, provincial secretary of Nova Scotia, stating that he had been so completely . occupied since his arrival from England in promoting the railway policy in the three British provinces that he had not yet had leisure to prepare the draft Act o f i ncorporation, which he h a d promised to send for the consideration of the committee, but that, as the general election in Nova Scotia was now over, and the Government had ob tained a sufficient majority iu support of the railway policy, he (Mr. Howe) would have more leisure to prepare the draft, and write by the next mail. Letters had also been received from Mr. Buckerfield, the agent of the association in Nova Scotia, stating that the Legislature there was expected to meet at the latter end of September, for a short session, to pass railway measures ; that he (Mr. Buckerfield) had had an interview with Mr. Howe, who informed him that he highly approved of the views of the associa tion, and that an Act to incorporate it would be passed. Under these very encouraging circum stances he (Mr. Campbell) would suggest that the committee should postpone their public meeting, which was intended to be held on the 23d inst., in the Mechanics Institution, till after the arrival of the next mail from Halifax, when he hoped be would be in possession of Mr. Howe's communication and the draft Act of incorporation. Mr. Mum fully concurred in the suggestion of Mr. Campbell, as it was of great importance that they should be able to lay something definite before the public, who were now beginning to look anxiously to them for information. He would, therefore, move that the public meeting be postponed. Mr. FOWLES seconded the motion, which was agreed to ; and the meeting, after transacting some routine business, adjourned. The CHAIRMAN, on rising, was received with loud cheers. He expatiated upon the advantages of free hold land societies. They were the means of pro viding not only aids to independence for members, but good homes for their wives and families. At pre sent the poor man could not find a suitable residence within an easy distance of his work ; the freehold land society would be the means of providing the working people not only with freehold land, but would enable him to place a comfortable residence upon it. The earnings of the industrious man could not be better invested than by placing them in a so ciety like the present, which, even in a commercial point of view, offered an excellent investment. J. BEAL, Esq., pointed out the beneficial effects the society had already had on the moral and social con dition of the working cl asses . T he ground purchased for the society would yield 8 or 10 per cent., and when the houses were erected the return would be increased to 12 or 14 per cent. Mr. Beal, in a long and eloquent address, pointed out the social, moral, and political advantages of the freehold land move ment, and sat down amidst loud applause. Captain Parrott, Mr. P. E. Barnes, Mr. Kettle and Mr. G. H uggett, a dd resse d t h e mee ti ng. , Mr. JAMES TAYLOR, of Birmingham, addressed the meeting, and in consequence of the crowded state of the marquee, he spoke f rom a platform erected outside the tent. On rising he was received with loud cheering. He said freehold landholders had adopted a creed so Abort, that had others ad opte d the same, much of the late religious disagreements might have been avoided —it was this, " Buy land at the wholesale price, and retail it to the people at the same rate." Mr. Taylor, in a most able and energetic add ress, urged the work ing, men of Reigate to avail themselves of the advan tages the society offered, and sat down amidst the acclamations of the assembled hundreds. Mr. G. HtTGGETT proposed, and Mr. G. E. DEN. pas seconded, a vote of thanks to the Chairman. The CHAIRMAN having returned thanks, the pro cession was reformed, and proceeded through the town • and the L on d on mem b e rs returned b y t h e special train, evidently much pleased with the day's proceedings. IRELAND. LORD JOHN RIIeSELL. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.—The landing of Lord John Russell, h er L adyship and family, from the Scotia steamer, on Monday night, duly chronicled among the arrivals in Dublin, appears to be somewhat of a mystery, for all inquiries yesterday as to the where abouts. of th e di st i ngu i shed visitors have so far proved unavailing ; and th e only reasonable conjecture is, that if the Premier really crossed over from Bangor he must have left yesterday morning by one of the early trains en route to the provinces. Several per sons who were on the jetty at Kingstown at the time of the express boat's arrival on Monday maintain that Lord John was among the p assengers and came to town by the half-pest ten P.M. train. There is neither contradiction nor confirmation of the reported visit in the morning papers of this day. THE LATE DR. REID. Her Majesty has granted a pension of 1001, a -year out of the Civil List to the widow and f amily of the late Dr. Reid, o f Gl as g o w University. Th e B anner of Ulster observes, in reference to this grant " The liberality of this grant has been delicately enhanced by an order for payment of the current quarter, although, in official strictness, it could scarcely have been included within the regular term. This is an act of Ministerial generosity whose moral value will be felt and recognised by the whole Pres byterian body in Ireland, since it was chiefly in his character of our denominational histo rian that Dr. Reid had established for himself that claim upon Imperial consideration` whichwhich has now been so suitably acknowledged in the case of his surviving family,lffe have seldom to record th© bestowal of an WESTMINSTER FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY. A demonstration took place yesterday at Reigate, Surrey, to celebrate the purchase of an estate of twanty-four acres. The South-Eastern Railway liberally placed a special train at the disposal of the society at less than the ordinary fares. On the arrival of the train a procession was formed, preceded by a band playing popular airs, and amidst the hearty acclamations of the inhabitants, proceeded to the land. The waving of the flags from the marquee and other parts of the estate, together with the fineness of the weather and the beauty of the scenery, presented a most lively appearance. In the absence of George Thompson, E.q., M.P. (one of the trustees), who was prevented from attending by a domestic calamity, the chair was taken by J. Wyld, Esq., M.P., one of the vice presidents. Letters were received from Mr. Cobden, M.P., Mr. J. Hume, M.P., Mr. Lushington, M.P., Mr. Schole field, M.P., and Mr. Alcock, M.P., regretting their inability to attend. Among the company were the following gentle men :—Captain Parrott, Mr. R. Kettle, Mr. G. Pearson, Mr. James Taylor, of Birmingham ; Mr. G. Edgar Dennes and Mr. G. Huggett, the solicitor and secretary ; Mr. J. Wells, and several members of the committee. THE SUN, annuity more appropriate than the present, or one to which will be accorded a larger amount of public ap proval." CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT OLD COURT. EXTRAORDINARY VERDICT! (Before Mr. Justice TALFOUED and Mr. Baron MARTIN.) Henry Gregory, 18, was indicted yesterday for the manslaughter of Daniel Michael Isaac. Mr. Robinson was counsel for the prosecution. It appeared that on the 19th of August the prisoner and some other persons were playing skittles at the George and Dragon public-house, Hoxton, and upon the prisoner refusing to pay for some beer that he had lost the potboy called him "a thief." The pri soner then struck the potboy, and the deceased inter fered, and offered to fight the prisoner, and they stripped and fought several rounds, and both of them frequently fell to the ground. The deceased, in the course of the struggle, became insensible, and died almost immediately. The fight was represented to be a fair stand-up one, and it appeared that when the prisoner was informed that his opponent was dead he expressed the greatest regret for what had occurred, and procured water and did all that he could to re store the deceased. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter under mitigating► circumstances, and he was sentenced to be imprisoned for two months. Walter Whittaker, 24, was indicted for cutting and wounding Alfred Stride, with intent to do him grie vous bodily harm. Mr. Locke and Mr. Payne prosecuted ; Mr. O'Brien defended the prisoner. It appeared that on the night of the 4th of Septem ber the prisoner and two other persons went into the Custom-house Stores public-house, Lower Thames street, and bad some refreshment, and in consequence of the prisoner misconducting himself the landlady refused to serve him with any more liquor, and insisted upon his leaving the house. He would not do so, and she then called in the prosecutor, who is one of the City police, and at his entreaty the prisoner went out, but he came back almost directly, and expressed his determination to go into the house again. The officer advised him not to do's°, and put his hand upo❑ his shoulder and requested him to go away, and the moment he did so the prisoner took a pipe that he was smoking from his mouth, and thrust it with great violence into the constable's face, at the same time exclaiming, " There, you -, take that." The blow was so violent that the pipe was forced into the nose of the prosecutor, and a portion of it was em bedded in the upper jaw so deeply that Mr. Childs, the surgeon to the force, who was called in upon the oc casion, was occupied for more than a quarter of an hour in extracting it. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of a common assault, and he was sentenced by Mr. Justice Talfourd ' to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for nine months. An inquest was held to-day, at the South Infirmary, Cork, before Mr. Coroner .Mahony, on view of the body of a man, whose name was unknown, and appa rently about 30 years of age. It appeared, that some of the constabulary, early yesterday morning, found the deceased lying in one of th e hulk s on the coal quay nearly dead. He was immediately removed to the infirmary, and every effort used to restore him, but in vain. Dr. John Shenquin was examined at the inquest, and stated that there were no marks of violence on the body, but that it was very much ema ciated, and in his opinion death was caused by starva tion and exposure. The jury retired after the evi dence having closed, and in about ten minutes re turned with the following verdict, which was drawn up by the foreman :—" That we find the deceased, name unknown, came by his death through starva tion, he being in the prime of life, owing, in our opinion, to the reckless and careless treatment of our governing Ministers, in not giving more attention to the distress of the country." John Caffrey, 42, was indicted for wounding James Caffrey, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Mr. Carteen prosecuted. The prosecutor was the son of the prisoner, a lad 14 years of age. When the case was called on, the constable engaged in it informed the Court that he had gone away and could not be found, and he believed he did not intend to appear. Robert Crebo, a police. constable, was examined, and he stated that between 9 and 10 o'clock at night on the 4th of September, while on duty in March wont-street, Burton-crescent, he heard screams of "Murder" proceeding from Crescent-mews. He went to the place, and at No. 22 the sounds directed him to the top front room. He was refused admit tance, hut burst in the door, and he there saw the prisoner standing in the room with a redhot poker in his hand, which he was holding by a cloth. The prisoner's son was stark naked and crying, and ap peared to have been burnt. Witness asked what was the matter, and the prisoner ordered him out of the room, and told him he had no business there. Wit ness asked the boy what had been the matter, and he said that his father had been beating him with a red hot poker, and he observed the marks upon his person where the redhot poker had been. The prisoner then ordered him to leave the house again, but he refused to go, and told him he was his prisoner, upon which he struck him, and his wife came into the room, and they both assaulted him, and f o rc e d hi m out of the place. He immediately procured assistance, and the prisoner was taken into custody, and as they were going to the station-house, he said that the boy was a bad boy, and he had chastised him for it. Edward Harris, another constable, proved that he assisted the last witness to take the prisoner into custody, and he produced the poker, which he found in the fireplace, and which he said was still hot when he accompanied Crebo a second time to the house. Mr. Waldegrave, the surgeon who examined the person of the boy, said that his back was severely bruised and burnt. There were also burns upon each of his arms and upon his chest, upon his thighs and upon his leg, and the skin was destroyed by the burn on the chest. The burns were all of such a de scription as would be caused by th e poker that had been produced. officer was mistaken, that they were only lying there reading. On Miller was found a prayer-book. A great number of highly respectably witnesses gave the two prisoners a most unexceptionable cha racter. His LORDSHIP having summed up, The jury Acquitted the prisoners. The COURT refused to allow the park. keepers their expenses. THIRD COURT. (Before the COMMON•SERGEANT.) Mary Ann Johnson, 28, spinster, was indicted for unlawfully neglecting to give and provide for Mary Ann Johnson, the younger, aged 14 months, suitable food, drink, and other necessaries for her support. Mr. Huddlestone conducted the prosecution, which had been undertaken by the authorities of the London Union. The prisoner, a shabbily-clad, dissipated-looking young woman, who bore traces of having once been very handsome, pleaded "Not guilty," and continued to cry during the whole of this time she was in the dock. Mr. HUDDLESTONE having stated the case, called Jane Hunt, living at No. 2, Herring-court, Red Cross-street, who said that on the 22d of August the prisoner came and took a room in that house. She brought two children with her, one of which was the subject of the present inquiry, and another about four years old. The whole time she was in the house and till the day of her apprehension she was in a state of continual drunkenness. She stated herself to be the wife of a commercial traveller, and always seemed to have plenty of money, and a t one t i me showed the witness two sovereigns that she had. The children were always crying, and annoyed the whole house. On Thursday, the 28th of August, the screaming was so violent that she went into the room, and there found the mother drunk, and the children in the most wretched state imaginable. The children and mother were lying on the bed without a particle of covering on them. The infant was crying for food, and by its side lay a piece of dry crust, from which it was trying to pick the crumb. Three of its fingers were matted together with filth. The mother was too much intoxicated to give it any food, and witness took it into her room, and washed it, and gave it some nourishing food, and, seeing the state the mother was in, offered to bring it up with her own. This the pri • Boner would not listen to, and took it back into her own room again. The deceased continuing to cry she again went into the prisoner's room and found her still drunk and insensible, and the child was so bad that she thought it to be dying. She had some neighbours with her. They partly roused ,the prisoner, and offered to give the child some warm food, which she refused to let them do, and she and her neighbours then came to the determination of taking it away, which they did, but the poor little thing becoming rapidly worse, witness took it to Dr. Lloyd's, who directed her to give information to the police, as the child, if longer neglected, could not survive many hours, She then took the child home, and having given it some food, called in the police, to whom the prisoner was given in custody, and the child was ulti mately taken to the union. The prisoner would not ask the witness any ques• tions, but stated that it was her that made her drunk, and ill-used her. Mr. Lloyd, surgeon, Basinghall•street, said, that when the child was brought to him it was fast sink ing from want of food and gross neglect, and coald not have lived 24 hours longer. It was most fearfully emaciated and suffering from cutaneous disease, neglect, and dirt. He saw the child a few days after, when it had been under proper care, and it was so altered that he scarcely knew it. It had since died of an inflammation of the lungs, not caused from its ill-treatment, though, probably, the shock to the system had destroyed its chance of recovery. Thomas Baley, of Circus street, Bryanstone square, said that the prisoner bad lodged in his house previously to coming to the City. She had when drunk fearfully neglected the child, and his wife had to take care of the children. She had been four times at the Marylebone Police•court for drunkenness, and on one occcasion was sent to prison for a month, and the children went to the workhouse. When sober she was very kind to the children. John Hodges, 120, said that the prisoner was quite drunk when he took her into custody. The children were all over sores and nearly naked ; there was no fire in the room, or any sign of victuals. He never saw such filth and misery. It transpired in the course of the proceedings that the father of both of the children is a wealthy city merchant, and allowed the prisoner an ample mainte • nance. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and she was sentenced to six months.' imprisonment. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER, 18, 1851. given him 3d. to get them, but the elder male pri soner refused to say anything. A Mr. Cluvedon, a sc ileboard maker, proved the sale to him about a fortnight or three weeks since of four of the prosecutor's candlesticks by the elder male prisoner, who had been in his service for a lengthened period, upon a fictitious tale of distress, and that the female prisoner was in the frequent habit of calling at the premises to see him. James Johnson, a fellow-workman of the elder prisoner, also deposed to buying him, about three months ago, three of the stolen spoons, a pair of sugar tongs, and a timepiece, under the supposition t hat they were his ow❑ property, and produced the former articles, but could not do so with the timepiece, as he had disposed of that to a stranger some time since. Wh en called upon for their defence the prisoners gave an improbable account of one portion of the charge and a general denial to the other; but The MAGISTRATE ordered them to be committed until that day week for the completion of the case, and to afford an opportunity of tracicg the rest of the property. CLERKENWELL. Two young women, sisters, who gave their names Sarah and Rebecca Sharp, applied to Mr. Tyrwhitt under the following peculiarly distressing circum stances : It appeared that they were servants from Thrap stone, Northamptonshire, and their masters granted them a holiday in order to come to London to see the Great Exhibition. They left Thrapstone, accom panied by their eldest sister, Anna Smith, a married woman, and her infant child, seven months old. On their arrival in London they took lodgings at a house in Bidborough-street, St. Pancras, and on Friday night they retired to rest with a view to attend the Exhibition on the following day. On Saturday morning, at about two o'clock, they were awoke out of their sleep by an alarm of" Fire," when they found the lower part of the house in flames, and were nearly suffocated with smoke. In their anxiety to save their lives they made their escape, leaving behind them their money and everything belonging to them. Anna Smith, their sister, who with her infant slept in an apartment in the upper part of the house, found it impossible to make her escape through the flames and dense smoke, and making her appearance at the window, she was urged to throw her infant out to the people below, and it was saved. The unfortunate mother then, in a state of frenzy, precipitated herself from the window, and, although the spectators endeavoured to save her, she fell with great force and injured herself so severely that she was instantly conveyed to the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's-inn-road, where the most prompt assistance was afforded her by Mr. Lane, the house surgeon, &c.; and she now lies there in a very preca rious state. The applicants bad lost everything they had, and were destitute with the exception of the clothes they then wore, which were the benevolent gifts of the inhabitants of the locality in which the calamity occurred ;and their object in making this application—which they were induced to do through the friendly advice of others—was to solicit some aid to enable them to return to Thrapstone, Northamp tonshire. Mr. TTRITIIITT directed that immediate inquiry should be made into the circumstances, and Turner, the officer, proceeded instanter, and, after proper investigation, found that an alarm of "Fire" had taken place at the house in Bidborough-street ; that Anna Smith was in the hospital, and the whole of the applicants' statements were true; and it is only justice to add to the credit of a Mrs. Harris, the wife of a carpenter and undertaker of No. 25, Bidborough street, Burton-crescent, that she and her husband rendered every a‘siatance to the unfortunate sufferers, and that Mrs. Harris is at present nurturing and suckling the infant of Anna Smith, the injured mo ther in the hospital. Mr. TYRWHITT said everything should be done for the applicants. Names of Companies. of the bedroom windows, and afterwards passed through the library door. Sergeant Marquard expected to obtain some of the property stolen on that day, and therefore prayed for a remand. The prisoner having declined to ask any questions, Mr. BEADON remanded him until Wednerday next. BURIAL GROUNDS. In the new City Sewers Act are the following clauses relating to burial grounds :—" That after any churchyard or burial-ground shall have ceased to be used for the interment of the dead, it shall be lawful for the Commissioners, with the consent of the Bishop of London, to be signified by any instrument in writing under his hand and seal, to enter into such arrangements as may be agreed upon with the incumbent and churchwardens of the parish in which such churchyard or burial-ground may be situated for the appropriation thereof, or of any part thereof; to public improvements, or to e n l arge an d improve th e p u bli c s t ree t s . Th a t it shall be lawful for the relative of any deceased person, with the consent of the incumbent or other person having the care or control of any such churchyard or.burial ground as aforesaid, in which the body of su c h deceased pers o n h as b een i n t erre d or deposited, but subject to the r egu l a ti ons o f th e Commissioners, to cause such body to be removed t o , an d interred in, any burial ground or i n an y ceme t er y without the City, without any faculty for that purpose. Tbat it shall be lawful for the Commissioners, with the consent of the Bishop of London, to cause any churchyard or burial-ground within the City, after the same shall have been finally closed, to be planted, paved, or otherwise covered over, or any part thereof ; and if the surface of such churchyard or burial-ground shall be above the level of the adjoining ground, to cause the same to be lowered, and for such purpose to dig and carry away the soil of such churchyard or burial ground. Provided always, that if the Commissioners shall cause any churchyard or burial-ground to be lowered, the graves and vaults shall be as little dis turbed as possible; and it shall be lawful for the relatives of any deceased person whose body may within the last twenty years have been i n t erre d or d epos i ted in any grave or vault which may be so disturbed, to cause the remains of such ,person to be removed, carried away, and placed i in some o th er church yard, or burial-ground, n such manner as the Bishop of London, or such person as he may appoint, y shall di rec t , an d the expenses o f suc h removing , carry ing away, an d p l ac i ng ( no t exceeding iu an one case the sum o f 10 1 .) s h a ll b e paid by the Com missioners, and the remains of such persons as shall have been interred or deposited in the graves or vaults so disturbed, which shall not be removed or carried away, shall (except such graves or vaults as shall b e fi nally closed up ) at t h e expense of the Commissioners, b e remove d f rom suc h graves or vaults, and interred in such manner as the Bishop of London, or such person as he s h a ll appo i n t, s h a ll di rec t.

THE. DRAINAGE OF LONDON. It will be remembered that at the close of the year 1850 the then existing Commissioners of Sewers de cided upon a plan for the general drainage of London. This plan was divided into three portions, viz.—the northern, the southern sides of the Thames, and the Westminster division ; and it comprised works of no ordinary magnitude, the cost of which was estimated at 1,080,000/. It was the intention of the commis sioners to commence the formation of this vast system of intercepting sewers without delay, but a serious difficulty has arisen, and one which, without the in tervention of Parliament, will prevent them from doing more than executing smaller works, ancillary to the greater ones hereafter to be undertaken. The difficulty which presents itself is the absolute want of funds, and the inability of the commissioners to offer such security as would enable them to raise the money, or even a portion of it. Under the old Act the commissioners were empowered to raise a rate of ls. in the pound, yearly, on all the rateable pro perty under their jurisdiction, but, during the last session of Parliament, Mr. Henley succeeded in car rying a motion for the insertion of a clause in the Act preventing the commissioners from raising a rate of more than 3d. in the pound. This assess ment, if enforced throughout the whole of the dis trict rateable to the commission, would produce only 103,000/ yearly ; but, as at present carried out, it produces about 80,0001. This sum is very little more than is necessary for the present functions of the commission, viz., the formation of the smaller lines of sewers, the abatement of nui sances from open drains and ditches, repairs, gullies, &c., leaving but a very small amount to be applied to the general drainage system. The com missioners recently attempted to borrow 80,0001. on the security of the rates, and one of the principal in surance offices in London expressed its readiness to grant the loan ; but upon an examination of the security, it became evident that it was of compara tively little value, the proportion of the 3d. rate required by the commission for its active functions being so large as to leave a trifling residue. Ap plications were also made in other quarters, but with the like success. It becomes evident, therefore, that even if the whole of the money which the commissioners could raise were to be at once applied to the execution of the general drainage system—leaving uncared-for the daily requirements of the metropolitan districts —these works would oc cupy a period of 11 years in their execution; and, in the meantine, the sanitary condition of London would be far from progressing favourably. If the balance remaining to the commissioners, after the due execu tion of all their minor functions, were to be applied, London would remain imperfectly drained, and the Thames perfectly polluted for 30 or 40 years to come. Under these circumstances, nothing effectual can be done until the assembling of Parliament, when some extended powers of rating, and raising money must be granted to the commission ; or else the Government must take into their consideration the propriety of assisting the commission to obtain the necessary funds, by those means and upon those terms of repayment which may be agreed upon. The utmost anxiety exists in the minds of the commissioners to com mence the execution of their gigantic scheme without delay ; but they are now prevented from doing more than merely keeping the sewers of London in as good condition as possible, and forming new ones whenever they are required, in such a man • ner as to render them hereafter portions of the more comprehensive system. Under any circumstances, even supposing the most favourable, the formation of the enormous conduits which will be required to con vey the 120,000 tons of sewage daily flowing under the city to the mouth of the river Rodiog, the time required will be between four and five years ; and the present delay, arising from the insertion of a mis chievous clause in the Sewers Act, will probably cause a much longer delay. It is the intention of the commissioners to perform works by contractors for different portions of them. The sewage will be collected in enormous reservoirs at Barking-creek, to be discharged into the river at such periods of the tide as will prevent its return to London, or to be disposed of; if practicable, for sewage manure, and thus converted into a source of revenue. There is little doubt of the partial success, at any rate, of the last proposition, as offers have already been made to the commissioners to lease from them certain sewage outlets, with the view of using the soil for agricultural purposes. These offers have been declined because the duration of the present commission is limited, and it is deemed inexpedient to bind their successors by any contract which might impede them in the free construction of any system of sewage. The recently-formed commission has, up to the present time, given unlimited satisfaction to the ratepayers by its effectual and prompt working —Morning Paper. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Sept. 17. (Before Mr. WITHAM and a Bench of Magistrates, at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell.) John Start, aged 35, was indicted charged with having unlawfully and violently assaulted Mary Ann Morehouse, with intent to ravish bar. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, said that the boy behaved very badly and continually robbed him, and he had punished him for his mis conduct, but he denied having burnt him. Mr. Baron lIIARTIN, in summing up, told the jury that the only question they had to decide was the in tent of the prisoner, for he had no hesitation in stat ing that, however bad the conduct of the boy might have been, the use of such an instrument as a rednot poker was illegal and unjustifiable. If they were satisfied by the evidence that the prisoner really in tended to maim or disable his son, in that case they would find him guilty of the whole charge, but if they had any doubt upon the point the prisoner was clearly liable to be convicted of an assault. The jury, after deliberating a short time, found the prisoner Guilty of an assault, and Acquitted him of the felony. Mr. Coclila defended the prisoner. The case has been very recently before the police magistrate, and the prosecutrix was submitted to a rigid cross-examination by Mr. Cockle, but she came out of the trial with her evidence in chief totally un shaken. Other evidence of a confirmatory nature• having been given, Mr. Cockle addressed the jury on behalf of the pri.toner, the Chairman summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The CHAIRMAN sentenced the prisoner to imprison meat with hard labour for 12 months. The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, said that the prisoner had been very properly convicted of sbout as inhuman an act as he believed bad ever been brought to the notice of a court of justice. It was possible that the boy was a bad boy, and he would admit that this was probable; but it was almost in credible that a father should have resorted to such an instrument as a redhot poker as a mode of punish ment. The boy had actually shown good feeling, for he had gone away from the court, no doubt, in the hope that by the want of his evidence his father would escape punishment. Fortunately for the ends of jus tice this was not the case, and the prisoner now stood convicted of this most shocking offence. The Court was in some difficulty with regard to the punishment, because they felt that the prisoner's fa mily must suffer by bis being imprisoned for a long period ; but, at the same time, they had a duty to perform, and they were bound to p ass suc h a sen tence as would be likely to operate as an ex maple, to protect children from being subjected to violence of such a description, and that people should be taught that if children did misbehave themselves they were not to be treated in this brutal manner. He then sen tenced the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for 15 calendar months. NEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) Robert Gazely, 48, horse dealer, was indicted for stealing a mare, valued at 41., the property of Benja min Stafford. The facts were briefly these :—The prosecutor was a horse dealer, and the prisoner was in the habit of obtaining customers for him, and in the present in stance had taken the mare and sold it, never paying the prosecutor. The jury found him Guilty. It was then proved that the prisoner had been twice before convicted of felony, the last time for horse stealing, when he was transported for ten years, three years of which had been commuted, and he re turned home to this country last year. He was again transported for 20 years. In the case of Wm. Bridger, who had been com mitted, with a woman named Saunders, from the Marlborough-street Police-court, the statement of Bridger, who alone was placed on his trial, was re turned with the depositions. Upon being placed in the hands of the Clerk of the Arraigns, it appeared that they had not been taken in accordance with the provisions of one of the statutes known as Jervis's Acts, which requires that a copy of the caution given to the prisoners should be appended to the depositions and precede the statement. This had not been done. The RECORDER said an omission of this character might cause the most serious consequences, and per haps tend to frustrate the ends of justice, as it became necessary, on account of the provisions of the Act, that proof of the caution having been given must be established before this Court. Upon this occasion the policem an was a bl e to supp l y t h e def i cency, by giving evidence of the fact; but the Court might upon another occasionlbe without such evidence, and he trusted that in future no omission of this sort migh occur. ' Mark Benjamin Miller and Henry Usher, two gentlemanly-looking young men, surrendered to take their trial upon an indictment charging them with having been guilty of indecent cond uc t i n a pu bli c highway. Mr. Huddlestone, by the direction of the Court, prosecuted ; Usher was defended by Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Bodkin defended Miller. The fact s o f th e case , w hi c h are unfit f or publica tion, were of an extremely improbable character, and rested solely (as far as the absolute act was concerned) on the testimony of a man named Murphy, a park keeperin the Regent's park, who deposed to seeing the two prisoners shortly before one o'clock in the day, on a Sunday, lying together on the grass in the Regent's-park, close to a very frequented thorough fare, and there commit the a c t i m p u t e d t o th em : there being at time a gentleman and some children at no great distance from them. The prisoners, when taken to the station, seemed much shock e d a t th e charge, and protested their innocence, stating that the , SOUTHWARK. Thomas Chedlow, who was remanded on Monday or utteriog a counterfeit half-crown to the conductor of one of the Atlas omnibuses, appeared upon his re cognisance,' to answer the charge. The coin as well as the paper, found in the prisoner's possession at the time he was taken into custody, and having reference to the method of coat ing articles over with silver, were produced on this occasion. A clerk from the office of the Solicitor of the Mint attended for the prosecution, and stated that although the circumstances attending the uttering of the coun terfeit half-crown were pregnant with suspicion, yet, that if it was a first offence, he had directions not to proceed with the charge. Policeman Hyde, 245 M, in reply to a question from Mr. A'Beckett, said that since the former exa mination another charge of a similar description against the prisoner had been discovered. James Noble was then called, and stated that he is conductor of one of the Favourite omnibuses, and that on the night of Tuesday, the 9th instant, the prisoner got on the outside of the vehicle at the Angel, at Islington, and alighted near the Eagle Tavern, in the City-road. He tendered half-a-crown to pay his fare, and witness, although it was night, on examining it, di , covered it to be counterfeit, and mentioned the fact to the prisoner, who expressed surprise and desired him to give it back and he would give him a good one in return. Witness told him that he should insist on his remaining with the omnibus until they saw a constable, to ascertain if he had any more had money about him, to which he assented, and stood on the steps of the omnibus until they met a policeman, to whom the matter was referred, and as he had no other bad money about him, and gave his address 23, Cullum-street, Fenchurch-street, witness declined giving him into custody. The prisoner wanted him to return the bad half-crown, saying that he had a right to it, and that he intended to destroy it, but witness refused and kept it, and the fare having been paid the prisoner then walked away. The witness added that he had no doubt of the prisoner's identity. The counterfeit half-crown was here handed to the Magistrate, who examined it, as also did the clerk of the Solicitor of the Mint; and on comparing it with the one uttered to the conductor of the Atlas omni bus on Saturday night by the prisoner, they were pronounced to have been cast in the same mould, and the thin coat of silver on each to be done by the same process. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH,STREET. Emily Young, a young girl, was charged with having contemplated felony, under the following cir cumstances : Mr. R. Laidlaw, No. 34, Howland -street, said the prisoner was left in charge of his house yesterday. On his return home with his wife, about nine o'clock, the prisoner pretended to be in a great fright, stating that a man in a blouse had broken into the house, had knocked her down, bad gone up stairs, and, after re maining some time, had come down with some things under his arm, with which he had left the house. Witness went up stairs and found a quantity of wear ing apparel and other property lying about tha room. The articles had been taken, some from the clothes press and some from a box in one of the lower rooms. A police-constable was sent for, and an investigation made, but nothing was missed. From the strange character of the prisoner's story, an d f rom fi nding her petticoat in the room where the robb ery was sa i d to have occurred, it was suspected th at the prisoner bad trumped up the statement. The prisoner accounted for the petticoat being in the room by saying that she had a struggle with the thief, and that he tore her petticoat off. Her gown also was torn open in the struggle. Police-constable Harris took the girl into custody, as suspicion was strong against her. There was another charge against her. Mrs. Elizabeth Rowland, of Great Titchfield-street, said the prisoner was in her employ a short time ago as errand-girl. She gave the prisoner a sovereign to get change. The prisoner absconded with the money, and she had not heard anything of her until yes terday. Mr. BINGHAM said the last case was clear enough. He should discharge the prisoner on the first case, and commit her for trial on the last. WO/?S HIP-STREET. John Hanbury, 12 years of age, was charged with having burglariously entered the premises of Mr. Isaac Lester, a tradesman, in Keate-street, Spital fields, and stolen a timepiece, watch, and numerous other articles, and the prisoner's father, James Ban bury, a scaleboard maker, and Sarah Bethell, a woman with whom he cohabited, were charged with having feloniously received the whole of the property, well knowing it to have been stolen. The prosecutor stated tbat the younger prisoner was formerly an errand-boy in his service, but was discharged some months ago, and had since lived with the other prisoners, who were tenants of his, and re- WANDS WORTH. sided in one of the opposite houses.

The policeman also identified the counterfeit half-crown produced, as the one which the conductor had shown to him on the night the trans action occurred. The prisoner was committed, but he will be brought up again on Friday, and was held to bail, himself in 801., and two sureties of 401. each, with twenty-four hours' notice. LAMBETH. Last evening as Mr. Elliott was leaving the bench, a young man, who gave the name of William Bird, was brought up in custody on a charge of passing a counterfeit half-crown at the pottery manufactory of Mr. Doulton, in High-street, Lambeth. Mr. Frederick Doulton deposed that, about an hour before the prisoner, who represented himself as a hawker of dell ware, called at the factory, and se lecting a jug of a particular pattern, the price of which was fourpence, tendered half-a-crown in pay ment. Having taken a bad half-crown about a fort night ago under precisely similar circumstances, and from a person who he had no doubt to be the prisoner, he was particular in examining the coin, and found it to be a counterfeit. Both the half-crowns wereproduced by the witness, and there appearance was such as to deceive even an excellent judge. They are of the reign of George 111., and apparently a good deal worn, and their na tural silvery colour is so well simulated by electro typing as to render them most difficult of detection ; indeed, it is only by weighing or bending them that the counterfeit can be discovered. The prisoner, who gave a very unsatisfactory ac count of himself; was remanded for the attendance of the Mint solicitor. PRICES OF SHARES IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM. PANIES' STOCK.
