The plaitudf is a lady residint. , at Sidcup. and to July hat was in wart of a paLy, and through a friend answered an ale. rttsement inserted in the Times newspaper by the defendant, who had a pony to dispose of. The pony was then at Groombridge's stables, in Hel'aern, and fcom there a reference waa given to de fendent, at his chambers, and then defendant asked 201. fur it, and said that it was a capital one to go, and was as quiet as a child to ride or drive, and would not suffer anything t.e pass it on the road. Thil was partly true, fur.when the pony could be got to move at all, which was a work of some difficulty, it would not stop. After some negotiation it was arranged that plaintiff should purchase it fur 191. Defendant warranted it sound and well disposed, and on plaintiff thinking the pony rather old, - defendant said that, although it looked so, it. was not. The pony was taken from the stables, but seemed , to have such an attachment to the locality that he could hardly be got to go. at all; but between. coaxing and whipping it was at length got to Sidcup. The next day it was arranged to come at. to London, and after coaxing the animal to start, it moved one foot forward and two back, and wad a perf - ctjibber. On getting half way to London he managed to run into a ditch, and after divers mishaps they got to London. Plaintiff then called in a veterinary. surgeon. who said that the pony was rl4,t only unsound, being a " roarer," but was so far from being a young animal, lie grimly shook his head, and said that it was abet, but he could not tell whether it was 16 or 26; but thought nearer the latter.—(Laughter.) This being the case, defeat ant was waited on, and he then z.aiti that it must be sold, and he would pay the dif ference. I: was accordingly sold at Aldridge's, in St. Martin's-lane, and fetched only 71.; and it was to reco ver the difference and the expenses of keeP, &c., that the present action was brought. Mr. MAXWELL, for the defendant, denied that there had been any warranty, but, Alter a long consideration, the jury found for the plaintiff fur 12/. 184. • MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.)

A heavy cannonade had .been kept up thrughout the day on the D tniiih works; the cannon ed.- was almost uninterrupted frord the Milder dyke, • from Chan,,se, to Seth, the Drager dyke, and the gun boats on the river. At u quarter•past hire, when pro bably the decision had been come to that the storming attack shoul3 be undertaken. the cannonade was fiercer than ever; the very earth seemed to tremble under the re ar of the heavy pieces. Suddenly the trumpet signals for•the advance were Year(' on sll sides—the drums bent the. charge amid the loud hurrahs of the troops. The enemy had throughout-the d!,y, as during the 'previous operations, only fired . a gun now - and theta 'in reply to our heavy bocaliarttesseet, , and Scarcely a man of the Danish garrison Wasovisible the whole time; an ominous still ness seemed to prevail in the town. - But, as our c;_ilumns advanced at the prude charge against the works at the Grave Hof and' the Blockhouse; trom Seeth and other puitits, they suddenly appeared in the gardens, on the dykes,. and behind the cuttings; in an instant thou -I sands seemed to hive ri sera out of the earth to repel the attack.

Even on Prime Minister COMB ik'l' BETWEEN TEN CIRCASSIANS AND A DETACHMENT OF PRUSSIAN IN FANTRY AND CAVALRY. At the commencement of the Russian campaign in Hungary, twelve Circassiam- noblemen engaged as volunteers in the Russian Circassian regiment, and returned to Warsaw decorated for goad conduct. The campaign having terminated they wished to return home, but they were detained, and placed in the same category as the common Circassians serving in the army. All their prayers and remonstrances, even to the Emperor himself; remained unheeded. On Sa turday (28th September) they quitted Warsaw, and passed the frontier cordon, a distance of thirty German miles, on Sunday, after leaving two comrades killed by their pursuers. About ten P.M. that evening the ten remaining arrived, with the two led horses of their dead comrades, and with plenty of money, at Chelmse, the Prussian frontier town. On Alonday they continued their route to Kruziewis, and on the Ist of October they were conducted before the door of the Landrath, and - Frontier Commis sary Fernow (Grand Duchy Posen) by a gensdarrne. They there expressed a wish to be conducted to Berlin and there disarmed, but the Landrath re fused, and did not conceal his inteetion of having them re-conducted to Poland. At two rm. they were led to the barrack to be quartered there, but they stopped short, and declared they would not submit to arrest. They foi boded their fate—im mediate deprivation of arms, and there being trns ported luck whence they came. The appearance of these chivalrous and warlike looking men was tragical and affectieg, as they stood boldly and firm, gazing indifferently at the gaping multitude, and to the or ders of the Landrath, backed by thirty dragoons who had been commanded to mount. The latter rode up with drawn swords and cocked carbines. The Cir cassians unslung their rifles and drew their pistols from their girdles. The dragoons commenced the assault with their carbines—the Circassians replied with their rifles. The bansomest and most athletic of the Circassians fell, the others now set spurs to their horses, and fled to the road to Bromberg, but from their horses being completely jaded, cculd not go further than Kruziewis, where they resolved to defend themselves. Of the dragoons that pursued them, exchanging shots as they advanced, Corporal Lyck and one private were killed, and another wounded in the forehead. The whole squadron joined in pursuit afterwards, and whilst lam writing they are seeking to burn down the building where these unfortunate and desperate men are defending them selves. Two of them, it must be added, were cap tured on the road, and were much maltreated. The dragoons have set fire to the outhouses, but these poor men, who have declared they will not he taken alive, have retired to the inner building and stable, deter mined to resist to the last drop. The heart bleeds to witness the bloodshed and death of these brave and unfortunate creatures. The following is another version of this melancholy tragedy, in a letter published in the Posen Gazette of the 2d : " The squad of Circassians was conducted towards the barracks of Kruziewis, but nothing could induce them to enter the barrack-yard. The squadron of dragoons quartered at that place received orders to mount and surround them. The moment the dra goons arrived, one of them, as the witness B-- can cake oath, fired on the. Cricaseians. The Circassians, who were mounted, now galloped out of the town, pursued by the dragoons. One of their horses, al ready nearly exhausted, fell near the Landrath's office, and a Circassian was shot ; so also was the dragoon, Corporal Lyck. A little further on two more Circassians were killed, and two wounded taken. The remaining five took refuge in the farm-house of Kruschliewies, after letting loose their horses. The men refused to surrender, and prepared for defence. The dragoons seeing this, set fire to the outhouses, and then to the barns and stables, but the house in which the poor men had taken refuge could not be burned, as they prevented all approach with their rifles. I The other buildings burned all night, but the fivg Cir cassians`still held out. At length infantry was sent for, and during-the nights of the Ist and 2d a detachment of 40 men arrived by post from Bromberg (a squad ron of dragoons and 40 infantry to take five wearied ' burning Circassiansl) down the length t house, andmeasuress uwereccee takensucceeded. p for e .. their s v e killed enemies.i o l e f d their hi I s la t fe, r ep e i t 0 . e u fr g et e he , de t r ehe withe i killedr c b a a s : el i s el f. n e e s tT rushed mr, u , api andon n. der, pierced with wounds, were at length captured, and brought in here on w aggons ." Another account of thi s melancholy and sing u l ar tragedy, given by an eye-witness, runs thus :—" Only one of the houses where the Circassians took refuge remains entire. The v a l ue o f t h e same, corn, &c., burned down exceeds 10,000 dollars. They are all of noble Circassian family, decorated with orders, and in the rich costume of their country (the Russian- Circassian uniform). One; their leader, could make himself understood in' French and broken Polish. They fled from Warsaw (nearly 150 English miles) in less than forty-eight hours, and insisted upon being permitted to go to Berlin. The sad affair is all over. Infantry was brought from Bromberg, which set fire to and stormed the house wherein the remnant took refuge. All' fiVe of them fell, one burned, the re mainder mortally wounded. One foot soldier had been killed, and several dragoons wounded, and five horses killed. An express brought a letter for the Landrath from Plalerkome, where the colonel of the Circassian regiment, with Lire effieers and forty men, had ar rived in pursuit. Of the ten unfortunate Circassians, three are killed, three severely wounded, tw o slightly, end two taken unhurt. The liVing envying their dead comrades, fur, unless the Emperor, w h o p er ha ps never heard of poor men's application, be clement and merciful, the fate of the survivors will be worse than death. The dragoon (Slicer in command of the squadron reports that his men fired at first with blank cartridge, and did not resort to-ball until the Circas sians used their rifles." Such are the accounts given by the Posen and Berlin journals of this melancholy butchery; it can be designated by no other name.

The theta-- semis of cannon we have fired at the works have most of them sunk harmless in the soft clay dykes, withcut m.k jog breaches in them; while the slippery surface of the steep banks and walls made the ascent of the storming parties, under the heavy fire of the enemy, excessively difficult and on some points impossible; and scarcely was one wall gained before another wide ditch filled with water was discovered behind it, over which it was not easy to throw a L-ridoe when the enemy's carillon were e*pecially pointed, so as to destroy every work of the kind. Whoever duty weighs these difficultiee will not he surprised that the operations of our lett svuig before Friederielistadt have not been attended with more bril liant results, and that the repeated attempts to storm such a place in the face of a garrison of four battalions have not suceeded. " Yet in spite of all those obstacles our soldiers did at one point penetrate into the town, but could not advance far. From the witidewe of the houses they were re ceived by a heavy fire of musketry ; burning beams and rafters were hurled down upon them; in the market place a grim blockhouse, threats nine* destruction it they proceeded, stood before them; barricades in the streets stopped their way ; they were compelled to rE tire frim a piece that promised to be for all a den o- death, especially as even some of the inner works had t e-n undermined by the enemy and were blown op Waring the confltet. It was an obstinate and bloody struggle, and the enemy as well As ourowu troops fought with unusual determination.

When ordered to advance the battalion placed its band in the middle of the column arid moved forward to the music of the national air, Schles wig-Holstein, Meer-umschlungen. - The storm of the burning town by night was an awful spectacle. The place has suffered immense damage; the Catholic and the Reformed churches are both burned down. " The enemy is drawing reinforcements from Husam, as well as fresh supplies of ammunition." THE HAT. Among the minor matters to which the attention of reformers needs directing are, dress and costume. Science and art have invaded the palace, the cottage, the workshop, the prison ; concerning themselves with the flesh we eat, the air we breathe, the water ec a drink, the houses we dwell in, the streets along which we walk ; it is high time they should deign to look at the clothes we wear. Possibly more than one article of our costume, ugly and expensive as it is, from hat to boot, will meet with condemnation in the great gathering of the coming year. Look, for example, at the European hat. Grim, stiff, unsightly, uncomfortable ; it has not a redeeming feature. Yet from year to year we go on wearing and even capricious fashion refuses to meddle with this mode. We owe the hat to France, whose pro verbial good taste in dress is certainly here, as, in deed, in male dress generally, at fault. The native English hat, whether worn soberly as in the Com monwealth time, or with the dancing plume of the Restoration, was characteristic and useful. We never turn over the prints of those times without envying our fathers the ease of their soft and shady coverings. Oars are neither. While they brand the temples with red and painful line:, they expose the face to both wind and rain. Our neighbours across the Channel, a e see, propose to send over to the Great Exhibition a variety of new ideas in the way of male head-dress — perhaps this may lead to a revolution in English hats. The turban is at least picturesque—the Greek cap is gorgeous—the old German slouch hat is comfortable —the helmet affords protection—every covering that we remember has some good quality in its form ex cept the section of funnels now worn in Europe, under the influence of Paris. The English hatters had better be wise in time, and set their wits at work to invent something that will meet the existing dis satisfaction with the produce of their art. We see that anti:diat societies are springing up in England. ' The monarchy of the stiff hat is visibly drawing towards its close.—Athenceurn. ITALY. The Risorgimento of Turin of the sth announces that the Piedmontese Government has concluded the new loan of 6,000,000 of Five- per Cent. Rentes with the house of Rothschild, at 85 percent. We learn from the Concordia of Turin of the sth, that the sums hitherto collected for Brescia amount to 350,00 a, and are continually increasing. Sub scriptions have of late been opened for the same purpose at Florence, Pisa, and other Tuscan towns. The Sferza of Brescia, of the Ise, announces a new disaster that has befallen that province, and especially those parts of it which had escaped the ravages of the late inundation. The vines of Rovato, Cazzago, Coc caglio, and other places, which have no other means of support but the product cf their vineyards, have been completely devastated by a violent hailstorm. TATTERSALL'S-THIS EVENING SLX O'CLOCK. DESTRUCTIVE FIRES. Last evening, about half-past saven o'clock, a con flagration, :nearly attended with fatal consequences to two persons, broke out in the premises belonging to Mr. Crawcour, a surgeon-dentist, carrying on business in Addington-place, Camberwell-road. The premises, which extended some considerable distance backwards, were five stories high, including the basement, the upper one being occupied as a manu factory. At the time of the outbreak the only per sons in the building were Mr. Crawcour and his cook, and they were in the top story. The woman, perceiving a strong smell of something burning, in formed her master of the circumstance, and they pro ceeded towards the lower portion of the house to as certain the cause. Having descended a few stairs, they found the smoke' rolling upwards in such clouds as to prevent their descending. further. Tbey therefore retraced their steps as quickly as possible towards the upper floor, and escaped by the roof to one of the adjoining hou?es. In a very brief period flames in huge bodies shot through the windows of the ground floor both back and front. The parish engines speedily arrived, and were closely followed by numerous more powerful ones, belonging to the London Brigade end West of England-office. The Lambeth Company's mains having yielded an im mediate supply of water, the engines ; were at once brought into operation, but, owing to the firm hold the fire had previously obtained, it continued to spread with great rapidity. By half-past nine o'clock the fire was subdued, but not until the whole of Mr. Crawcour's property was destroyed, and some da mage done to the premises on either si by fire and water. Fortunately Mr. Crawcour was insured in the Pi - mnix On Tuesday morning feet, at about four o'cl*ek, an extensive tire broke out on a farm belonging to the Duke of Wellington, in the occupation of Mr. Luke Goddard, situate in the parish of Strathfieldsaye, near Reading. Owing to the early hour at which the out break occurred, when but little assistance could be rendered, end the want of engines at hand, the fire quickly gained a fearful ascendancy, the flames spreading from one rick to the other, until at length all were in a blaze. The conflagration lighted up the country for many miles around during the darkness that prevailed, and when daylight appeared volumes of smoke were seen issuing forth from the burning mass. The destruction of the entire farm homestead was inevitable when the fire was at its height, as no thine. could arrest the progress of the flames, and only the 'dwelling -house, at a little distance off, seemed likely to escape from the burning wreck. The flames gradually began to get under after awl.ile, until even tually nothing but a mouldering heap of ruins pre sented itself. The whole of the farm produce, con • sisting of several new ricks, and other corn in store, both thrashed and unthrashed, homestead, buildings, .and erections, implements of husbandry, and other property, were entirely consum , d. The fire, there is every reason to believe, was the act of an incendiary, and it is rumoured that suspicion rests on the carter and boy about leaving the service, who are to undergo an examination. The loss is very considerable ; but the entire farm property destroyed is, we believe, in sured, partly in the Norwich Union, Fire-office. INCENDIAB.Y Flan.--The quiet village of Frodes ley, in the county of Salop, has been thrown into the utmost alarm by its having been the scene of one of the most extensive and destructive incendiary fires that ever occurred in this county. On Monday morning, the 7th instant, at a quarter before two o'clock, a barley and wheat stack belonging to Mr. Meredith were discovered by James Rothero, a black smith, residing in an adjoining cottage, to have been just fired, as the flames were then only running about the loose straws beneath the thatch. Without dress ing himself he proceeded at once to arouse Mr. Mere dith, his family, and all the nearest villagers, who quickly and readily responded to his summons. Mr. Meredith's farm is an extensive one, and the buildings attached to it were very complete, and on a large scale. The stack-yard contiguous to the buildings was plentifully filled. Though in the course of about a quarter of an hour several persons had arrived it was at once discovered that they could possibly do nothing to save any portion either of the hay or grain. Most unfortunately the morning was very windy, a strong breeze blowing from the S.W. For some time past the weather had been remarkably calm, and doubtless this particular time had been carefully selected for the perpetration of the diabolical deed. In a very short time the whole stack-yard, containing 14 stacks, and some of them very large, was enveloped in flames, and all hopes of saving anything were given up. The wind carrying the flames in the direction of the buildings, they too very soon caught fire, and the scene now presented was awfully grand. One building after another became a prey to the devour ing element, and in about an hour and a half two large barns, granary, waggon-shed, straw shed, stables, and feeding stalls had fallen into ruins. The farm-yard forms three sides of a quadrangle, the house forming the fourth. At one time strong fears were entertained that the house (a respectable resi dence) would take fire. This, however, most provi dentially, through the advice and exertions of the rector, the Rev. T. L. Gleadowe, aided by the as sistance of some of his parishioners, was prevented. The Rev. Gentleman was one of the first at the scene of desolation, and immediately dispatched his servant on horseback to Shrewsbury for the fire engines. Though Frodesley is eight miles from that town, the engines arrived within an hour and three-quarters from the time of their being sent for. The fire men were active in the discharge of their duty, but their exertions were principally confined to playing the engines upon the mouldering stacks to prevent the flakes of fire, row rising, from being blown into the neighbouring and continuous premises of another extensive farmyard, near to which were also the church and rectory-house. About 11 o'clock the fire was pretty well put out. The farm belongs to Sir E. J. Smythe, Bart., of Acton Burnell ; and it is calcu lated that by the burning down of the buildings he will sustain a loss of 1,0001, and that that of Mr. Meredith will amount to 1,2001. Early in the morn ing Mr. Lewis, superintendent of the county con stabulary force, was in attendance with some of his men. In the middle of the day Mr. E. W. Smythe Oven, a magistrate for the county, and Captain Mayne, the head of the police force, arrived at ooidl when ter Frodesley.

(if,fure Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant Judge, and a Bench of Alagistratfi.) Eleanor Bennett, 22, was irdiete,i for having threatened the lite of Isabella Grace ..Mountford, the sch.:,olrnistress SJB..:qhnal-green workbuuse. • The defendant, when called upon to pipad, for F,ome minutes took no notice of the question, but lo,ked about the court in a determined wanner; at length Toe officer in the dock called out in her car, " What have you to say in answer to the charge; are you guilty or not guilty ?" The defendant—" Oh! tell her. pi give it her again if I can only get at her, even if you give me three years for it. That's what I'd do. That's what I've got to say. What do you think of that, old fellow ?" and at length seeing the prosecutrix at the end of the dock, she stooped down, and was endeavouring to pull off one of her shoes, no doubt with the intention of throwing it at her, when the officer laid hold of her. She threw the officer's arm from her, and b egan t o mutter , i n a rapid manner, "I'll give it her. I'll teach her to interfere with me. I'll give it to her if it's twelve months to come_ The officer —Did you hear ? Are you guilty or not guilty ? The defendant—l shan't tell you. I can till you this, if I go to prison, when I get out I will do it again. All efforts to induce the defendant to plead were entirely unavailing, and at length a pea of not guilty wcs ordered to be token, and the case proceeded. Mr. M. PRENDERGAST thrin stated that he was in structed to appear tor the prosecution by the parochial authorities of St. Matthew, Bethnal. green, and in the course of his address stated the mai❑ facts of the case as they were afterwards detailed by tha wit- nesses. Miss Isabella Grace Mountford stated that she was schoolmistress at St. Matthew, Bethnal-green work house, and on Sunday morning, the 29th of Septem ber, the defendant was assisting the storekeeper in weighing out the dinners in the dining-hall. Witness happened to lift up the top of a desk, and there saw a plate of meat and potatoes covered over with an apron, and inquired to whom it belonged. Defendant said that was nu business of hers (witness), became very violent in her temper, and took up a plate, threatening to split her head with it. She was, how ever, prevented from carrying her threat into execu tion. This was at about twenty minutes past one o'clock. Being thus prevented from striking her, the defendant said that she would remember the witness, and do what she (defendant) intended when she was not aware of it. At about a quarter before two o'clock she followed the witness with a tin pan in her hand, and aimed a blow at her head, which would have taken effect but for the interposition of a Sunday tutor to the school, who came up and held her arm. She W 23 then given into custody, and the following day taken before a magistrate, who committed her for trial. The defendant here made a rush from the end of the dock towards the witness -box, exclaiming "I'll stick a knife i❑ her. RI can't at one time, I will at another." Mr. Preadee, the tutor to the school, corroborated the evidence of the first witness. The defendant again burst into a violent rage. At the desire of the Learned Chairman, Mr. Hedger, the surgeon of the workhouse, was ordered to be. called ; and, in answer to questions put to him, said the defendant was occasionally very irritable, hut he could not say that she was in an unsound state of mind. Mr. Sawyer, the officer of the House of Correction, bat.h, fields, said the defendant had been frequently in that prison, once for felony, and the other occasions for assaults and wilful damage. The master of the workhouse said he bad obtained a list (which he handed in) of seven convictions of the defendant before various magistrates of the metropolis for wilful damage. The defendant again made another attempt to take off her shoes, but was prevented by the officer in the dock with her from doing so. The jury having found the defendant Guilty, Tne Learned CuaiumAN sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned for one month, and then to enter into recognizances, herself in 201. and two sureties of 101. each, to keep the peace towards all her Majesty's subjects, and to Miss Isabella Grace Mountford in particular, for the term of twelve months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. John Collins,Ba BOW -STR EET. te S r T i ß a E th E e T' service of Mr. W. Blomfield, a carrier in the City, was re-examined on a charge of stealing a truss of cloth, worth 1201. A cartload of parcels, including the stolen pro perty, was 'intrusted t o th e pr i soner f or delivery. Tee truss of cloth was t a k en f rom t h e cart on its way to St. Martin's-lane, and the p r i soner sa id h e was unable to account for it. A reward was , offered for the detection of the thief, and this brought forward a young man, living as a domestic servant at 13, bin cole'e Inn-fields, who said that he saw the cart on the east side cf Lincoln's Inn• fields (where he had no right to be) in the middle of the day in question ; that it yes brought to a stand by the driver, while a cab drove alongside of it ; and• that he then saw a man move a heavy parcel froua the cart into the cab, afterwards getting on to the box, and proceeding at a rapid rata into the City. The suspected cabman, named Thomas Drewe, was placed at the bar at the present examination, and identified by the servant. He declared he was not in the square at all on the day of the robbery; but this Witness, was contradicted by a second• a labouring man, who saw him drive out of it. Both the carter and the cabman were remanded for farther examination. Richard Shail and Hannah Shail, his mother, were charged, the former with stealing, and the latter with receiving, a quantity of silk, clotns, sze the t proper y of Mr. Hewett, linendraper, in Ilieh lio ' lborn. The male prisoner bad liv e d i n the prose cu tor's service for ten years. On Tuesday he of appropriating some linen dusters- was suspected , and a piece of silk, and, a detective officer being narrowly watched. He left the sent for, he was shop in the evening with a parcel under his arm, ei an i d was followed by Sergeant Thompson to Shad; , where he resided, and where the officer took him into custody with the articles in his possession. Next morning the officer went to the prisoner's house, at 25 S t, and found a quantity of stock, e eine , p ified ncershstrAr. e l e Hewett, which the prisoner's mother ident y h said had been brought home, from time to time, h The manager of the business suid Y th e a r t the . prisoner had represented his mother as in p ossess i on of a hand some annuity ; it now appeared that she had been de pendent upon him for her support, and both had lived in a good style. Mr JARDINE remanded th e prisoners, accepting bail for the mother. MARYLEBONE. James Worthin,zton Livesey, a man of gentlemanly exterior, described as a law student of the Inner Temple, was placed at the bar before the sitting ma gistrate, Mr. Broughton, on a charge of robbery. Mr. Davies, solicitor, of Dorset -street, attended for the prisoner. Mrs. Mary Ann George, a widow lady, residing at No. 1, Priory-street, Camden-town, deposed that in June last the prisoner, who represented himself as a lawyer, entered upon the occupancy of apartments at her honse, and that at the expiration of three weeks he suddenly left without paying the rent due from him. She soon afterwards missed from her sitting room 16 part of a work entitled Old England. She of course suspected the prisoner as the thiet, and, on seeing the report in the newspapers a fortnight ago of his having been sent for 14 days to the House of Correction from this court, in default of his paying a fine of 50n for a violent and unprovoked assault upon a respectable married woman, she gave such in formation as led to his apprehension ; the index to 'he work in question was found under the prisoner's bed. Bowle, 383 S, said that on the same morning he took the prisoner into custody as he was leaving the House of Correction, his incarceration for a fortnight having expired. Witness told him what he was charged with, when he heaved three deep sighs and said nothing. In reply to the magistrate, witness said he had not as yet had time to trace the m issing property ; he might be able to do so in the event of a few days being allowed him. Mr. Davies remarked that his client was a man very respectably connected, and that the case, as it stood, was merely one of suspicion' The prisoner was, in default of p rocuring bail, re manded for a we e k. WORS HIP- STREE T. Gasper Wasner, a middle aged German, and his wife, Deborah Wasner, were placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged upon suspicion of k having caused the death of their i n f an t c hild, six wees old. Pelice•const able Giff or d, H 89, stated that in con• sequence of information he received that the prisoners were believed to have murdered their child, which had died under sudden and suspicious circumstances on the preceding dey, he repaired at one o'clock that morning to their house in George-street, White chapel, and, upon ent e ri n g a lower room, observed a coffin upon the table containing the dead body of an infant. He questioned the female prisoner as to the time and circumstances attendirar i ts death, when she , told him that it had been affectedb with violent purg ing for two or three days, v.hich had terminated fatally about eight o'clock on the preceding morning, Site further stated that she herself had administered to it a teaspoonful of castor oil, but that no medical gen ttaman had been called in to attend it. He then asked the husband if he had lately had any quarrel with his wife or others in the house, but he denied that' anything o the ki n d h a d t a ken place. Oa examining the person of the pbild he observed a small 1 bruise at the side of the h ea d,upon w hich there was an abrasion of the-skirt about the. size of a sizpoace, The annexed interesting details relative to the loss of the ship Mary Florence, on the Arabian coast, have been furnished by Messrs. Henry and Calvert Tonn. min, of St. Helena-place, City, owners of the vessel. The Mary Florence lef; London for Aden on the 16th of February last, with coals, which she had taken on board at Shields. She was quite a new ship, coppered bottomed, and this was her first voyage, her cargo being for the detait of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company at Aden. Her master, Captain Christopher Short, it seems, had a small share in the vessel. He was accompanied by his wife, a lady of very respectable connexions re siding at Blythe, in Durham ; the crew, consisting of first and second officers, carpenter, steward, and 12 seamen. The ship, we understand, sighted the Comoro Islands, in the Mozambique Channel, on the 25th of May, and Cape Guardafui on the 3 d of June. The latter is a headland forming the extreme eastern portion of the African coast, a few hundred miles south-east of the port of Aden and the entrance of the Red Sea. It was about 4 o'clock in the afternoon when the cape, as the master 'supposed it to be, was sighted, though, from what has since transpired, it is evident he was mistaken, and that he had taken the top of a high mountain inland for the headland at the point. The course of the ship was north-west by north, while the point of land round which they had to bear stood north north •west. Shelled her topsail single reefed, topgallant sails set, and was running about nine miles per hour,with a smart wind blowing south west. She continued in this course till about twenty minutes after ten o'clock at night, when the crew were startled by the ship striking heavily, and dis covered, to their utter amazement, that she had run ashore. The impression on their minds just before was that they had rounded the Cape, and were bear ing up for Aden. Attempts were instantly made to get the vessel off, but wiJiout success. A heavy sea and a strong current running in from the Indian Ocean swept the ship in towards the land. Next morning some of the natives swam off to the vessel, and appeared friendly, offering to render assistance. The master, finding he could not get the vessel off, accepted their aid, and with some of his crew con • trived to get an anchor ashore, and bent a hawser to it, securing the other end to the masthead. On the following day, the sth, the sea increasing and heating over the stern of the ship, the stores and sails were got ready to send ashore, and by means of the hawser the first officer gained the beach, and two seamen followed, when those on the deck commenced floating the stores to them. The natives exhibited every desire to assist, and in the course of the afternoon large numbers came down to the beach. Moat of them were armed, and a chief headed them. The latter dis played the same feeling as the others, and appointed a guard to protect the property that had been got ashore. The next day the same friendly spirit being evinced, the master continue-4 to send his stores ashore, and in the afternoon it was determined to effect a safe passage along tha hawser for Mrs. Short, as the weather was becoming boisterous. By means of slings attached to the hawser she was conveyed to the shore in safety. Captain Short was about to follow, when the unfortunate lady, notwithstanding the protection of the first officer and seamen, was at once seized by the Arabs, and, apparently to those in the ship, was carried away, the natives at the same time attacking the crew with spears, and driving them into the sea. The chief officer got hold of the hawser that communicated with the ship, and was making an attempt to gain it, when the natives rushed forward and cut the rope. He was conse quently precipitated into the sea, and must have pe rished had not one of the seamen swan to his as sistance, and brought him into shallow water. Captain Short had the pinnace instantly launched, and was in the act of jumping into it with one or two of his men, to go to his wife's assistance, when a sea struck the boat, and broke her away, and she_ was carried ashore. The moment the boat touched the shore it was seized by the natives, who got into it, and endeavoured to push off, as it was supposed, to board the vessel, but, owing to a very heavy groundswell, as soon as they got off, the boat was carried back again further up on the beach. Already had the plunder commenced. The stores and goods that had been landed were scattered in all di rections, and a general scuffle took place among the natives in their endeavours to possess themselves of the property, amidst yells and cries of exultation. Captain Short was most anxious to afford assistance to his unfortunate wife, but it was impossible, with the few hands be had with him, to make any endea vour to rescue her, all the firearm and ammunition having been sent ashore. The captain and the men who remained on board were on deck the whole night in the hope of meeting with an opportunity to gain the beach in the longboat, but they were deterred from making the attempt in consequence of the hos tile attitude assumed by the natives. In the course of the night shrieks were heard from the shore, which were supposed to proceed from Mrs. Short and the men belonging to the ship. Next morning the chief and his followers were seen strut ting about in the articles of European clothing they had stolen from the ship's stores. Captain Short, ex pecting an attack would be made on the vessel, re solved to launch the longboat and abandon the wreck. This was accordingly done, and putting into the boat all the provisions that remained, the crew shoved off, and anchored about 300 yards from the ship. The natives soon afterwards swam off to the vessel in great numbers, and boarding her proceeded to strip her of everything that was saluable. Having completed this outrage they attempted to gain posses-. sion of the longboat, and would have succeeded had not the crew immediately put out to sea. Having . a Lair wind for Aden, the boat in two days gained eighty miles up the coast, when, the wind veering to the north-west, she was driven back. An effort was then made to obtain fresh water from a place called Cape Felix,, but the natives came down to the beach, and drove the helpless mariners away. About ten miles lower down, however, they succeeded in getting ten gallons of water at the price of a gold watch and other valuables. They then took a course down the coast of Africa, enduring horrible privations. The allowance of water was only one gill per nay each man, with hardly anything to eat. On the 19th of June they anchored about 300 yards from the shore, in a small bay about 100 wiles south-east of Cape Guardafui. In this bay it appears, a vessel named the Dewan was lying, though the crew of the Mary Florence were not aware of her proximity. The natives swam to the boat, and plundered the un fortunate seamen of their money, a chronometer, sextant, and other articles. One of the natives, who could speak a little English, offered to apprise the people of the Dewan of the condition of the unfortu nate sufferers. Captain Sfn immediately wrote a note, which the native undertook to deliver. and on the following day the master (Mr. J. Reed Jefferies) came overland to the assistance of his country men. In weighing the long-boat anchor a sudden squall capsized it, and one of the crew was unfortu nately drowned. Mr. Jefferies at once obtained a supply of food for Short and his men, who were almost reduced to a state of starvation. Mr. Jefferies, hearing of the infamous conduct of the natives, sought out the chief and complained,' but he found that the chief participated 'in the plunder. Indeed it was found necessary to pay a ransom of 4/. for the boat before the natives would deliver it up. As soon as possible Mr. Jeffries got the crew over to hii vessel, and in a few days sailed for Muscat. There Captain Short and his men received the greatest kindness and hospitality, the son of the Imaum placing 120 dollars at their disposal, and other parties affording every assistance that was desirable. As soon as Captain Short had partially recovered from the exposuro and privation he had endured during the 15 days and nights he had passed,at Sea ip the longboat, he olitained a passage to Bombay, and on his arrival there he at once comrounigated the cir cumstances of the wreck to the Government authori ties, and prevailed on them to dispatch a steamer 'to aLd both prisoners were then conveyed to the station. S rah Bigmore, a married wo:mm. living next dcor to the prisoners, stated that shortly after twelve o'clock on Tuesday night she was disturbed by a loud uproar in the prisoners' house, and heard sore Ams of " Alunicr" in a woman's voice, accompanied by the exclamation, " Oh, you are murdering the child!" A fcer listening a few minutes, during which he heard the voice of a man in velimlent altercation with the woman, the latter commenced crying bitterly, and observed, in an agitated manner, " Oh, you -, you have killed my child!" "Both the voices were soon afterwards hushed, and nothing further occurred to attract tif.r observation. Samuel Big:nore, the husband of the last witness, fully corroborated the facts deposed to in her evi dence,"and added that, on the afternoon of the same day, observing that the shutters ware up, he asked the male prisoner, who was standing at the door, if his child were dead ; the prisoner answered that it was, and witness then said that he had heard a strange noise during the night, and he hoped he had not " muddled" the child out of its life ; to , A hick he answered, " Oh, no ; it was only my wife, who caused a slight disturbance." Police-constable Button, H 215, the officer upon the heat, also deposed to having heard the noise and altercation in the prisoner's house at the time in question. Mr. ARNOLD said that the case was one of much suspicion, which required the fullest investigation, and ordered the prisoners, who remained perfectly silent throughout the proceeding, to be remanded fix a week, to await the result of the post mortem exami nation of the infant's body. SOUTH WA RIC. John Baker, late gun-room steward on hoard the Teaser screw steam-vessel, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long, charged with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel and other property belonging to some of the officers of the vessel. Mr. LONG remanded him for further examination. WRECK of the MARY FLORENCE. rescue ivl3 unfortunate wife and the remainder of his crew, whom he supposed lobe in the hands of the u;k. tives at C,lpe Guarthfui. Just, however, as the steamer wal about starting on the expedition, intelligence ar rived from Mon to the (-tint that a portion of the crew had bison taken off the coast by C:Ttain Ram sey, of the Columbia, on the 12th of August, but th.L!t the n4mainder, and also Mrs. Short, had perished in an attempt to escape from the n:tiy,na. A letter received from Captain Ramqey observes that when his vessel was off the village of Aisla, near Cape Felix, on the Soowall coast, he was hailed from a canoe, which proved to contain the steward of the wrecked vessel. Learning from him that the chief officer of the ship and two seamen were in the hands of the natives, Captain Ramsey dispatched his boat to bring them on board, but the chief refused to deliver them up unless he received 130 rupees ransom money. This demand was complied with, and the men were ta.ken on hoard and landed at Aden. The owners of the Mary Florence have learned the names of thoe who perished with the captain's wife— namely, Mr. Wihart, the second officer ; S. Williams and Thomas Junes, seamen. Those taken on board the Columbia were the chief mate, Junius Perkins ; the steward, David Roberts, and John M`Kinnon. It now ascertained that poor Mrs. Short, with the other sufferers, met their sad fate on the evening of the same day that they landed from the wreck. The natives stripped Mrs. Short of her rings, ear rings, and other jewellery, and also took from her 120 sovereigns. She managed afterwards to free hers self from them, and rushed down to the beach, where a portion of the crew were assembled. They ma naged to get to the boat, and, although there were no oars in it, at the earnest entreaties of Mrs. Short, it was determined to make an attempt to regain the ship.. The boat was got off, but was swamped by the heavy surf; and the seamen who accompanied her met with a watery grave. The spot where the ship was wrecked is on the same part of the coast where the East India Compan3's steamer Memnon was lest some few years since. The Mary Florence was nearly 600 tons burden, and cost 12,0001. She was partially insured at Lloyd's. FALKIRK TRYST. TUESDAY, OCT. B.—The third and last of these annual markets for the season commenced on the usual stance this morning. At an early hour the different flocks were placed. The purchasers were certainly ❑umerous, but they were not of that class who carry away the stock of a Falkirk tryst, being principally composed of farmers. The extensive English dealers on the ground were Pew, and the job bers were still fewer, they having still their hands full of the last month's purchases, the murrain having broke out to such an extent amongst them that they have not bee❑ able to show them at any market for sale. It was generally allowed that such a show in point of quality and number, had not been seen at this tryst for many years past. Although they had been exposed for a few days on the road to a very heavy rain, those of them who got parked i❑ the neighbourhood on Saturday or Sunday, had a very fresh and clean-like appearance, and even those who only arrived yesterday, although evi dently a little fatigued, were upon the whole in fair condition. About ten o'clock prices began to be asked, but it was fully half- an-hour after that time before any lots were observed to leave the ground— the first being one or two lots of black-faced wed ders. About half-past eleven o'clock, sales fur all the good descriptions began to be made, and continued so till about half-past twelve o'clock, when the market came to a complete stand. The sales effected up to this time were, upon the average, about ten per cent. on the general stock below last month's prices. A large portion of the better conditioned of all descrip tions of stock were ultimately picked up ; but many of the inferior lots, disposed of after the above hour, suffered a great reduction. The holders of stock were not much, apparently, struck with the reduction, as sheep, for the last four years, have brought prices far above their real value, cr in proportion to the prices of black cattle. No doubt, the dealers have not been pocketing all these large prices, the breeders being well aware of the demand in the south for this description of stock. About two o'clock a good many lots exchanged owners, and up to four sales were here and there observed to be made, and all the information that could be got, pi ices were still continuing to come down. The demand appeared to be more particu larly for good ewes of both descriptions, and a toler able clearance was effected amongst this description of stock, although many of the secondary and inferior qualities remained unsold. The Cheviot wedders of the better class had a tolerably fair demand, at a reduction ; and the secondary and inferior lots, al though many exchanged owners, a number were still on sale at five o'clock. The black-faced wedders, even the beet of them, with few exceptions, were stiff to sell, and an alarming number of this description of stock were also unsold ; in fact, some of the holders never broke bulk. The failure of the turnip crop is the principal cause of the welders suffering so much a this time. The remaining portion of the stock, if not disposed of to-night or early to morrow, will be driven either to the N . teEkly markets in large towns, or put on grass till Doune market. No doubt the Highland dealers hAve lost money by thsir purchases for this market, but breeders are yet quite safe. Prices have gone co much further back than was expected, that a considerable difficulty was experi enced in ascertaining the prices of lots. Fully one-third of tha general stock remained un sold at the close of the market. The following are the reductions on the different kinds of sto,k below that of last month :—Best Cheviot wedders, 25.; inferior kinds, 3s. ; Cheviot ewes, best quality, 6,1. ; inferior kinds, Is. to 2s. ; black-faced wedders, best, ls. a head ; second qua lity, 3s. ; inferior kinds, 4s. ; black-faced ewes, best descriptions, ls. 6d.; inferior kinds of such, 2s. 6,1. The following area few of the lots that changed o vners : WuITE-FACED.--The best ewes from Longart, Strathglass, belonginc , to the Messrs. Laidlaw, were sold by Mr. John Murray, Edinburgh, at 195.; the wedders of the same stock were bought by Mr. Adam Marsh-dl, Edinburgh, said to be fully 263. An other lot of wedders, from the farm of Letterewe, was sold 223. Mr. Murray also sold Dr. Fraser's lot of wedders at 255., and the ewes of the same stock at 18 ; &so Dr. Clark's crosses at 215.; and a lot of ewes belonging to Thomas M'Kenzie, Esq., of Ord, at 16e.

WOLVERHAMPTON, 'WEDisiEsDAT:=-The first im portant meeting of ironmasters for the present quarter was held at Wolverhampton to-day: The one usually held at Walsall the previous day seldom affords any conclusive indication of the real state of the iron market, or of the intentions of those by whom prices are regulated and adjusted. The proceedings at Walsall are of a minor character, and exercise com paratively little influence upon the meetings which subsequently occur at Wolverhampton, Birmingham, 46d-Dudley. It may be mentioned, however, that at 'Walsall yesterday, notwithstanding the drooping condition of the iron trade, the settlement of quar terly accounts was described as far more satisfactory than, under the circumstances, might have been ex pected'. At the Wolverhampton meeting 'the opinions of the trade generally are first ascertained with regard to the resolutions adopted at the' preliminary meeting, held a fortnight previously; for it must be borne in mind that the decisions of that body are, as a matter of course, binding only upon its associated members. It was, admitted on all hands to-day that the pros pects of' tlke cissuing winter months were extremely unsatisfactoff The reduction during the last two - months o4the exports of metals and machinery is deemed Of 'fearful import, while the increased tariff lately adOpted by the Spanish Government apparently lei the exclusiVe advarttase . of-Henred . 1 the ft ago, WISBECH, OCT. s.—We are fairly supplied with grit ill el' all kinds.

N - 7.a!thy Peninsular ironmaster, threatens the destru tin of the South Staffordshire iron trade with that c,:untry. This is a matter of considerable importance , ii:a:-.truch as the Spaniards have been large consumers or the manufactured iron of these districts. Therd appears, under all circumstances, little prospect of aal n.nnediate fresh outlet for British iron ; but, o n the contrary, sl)ould an advance of price be established, a:infraction in the requirements for foreign marketa may ; ather be expected. It is worthy of remarict however, that notwithstanding the decrease of metals and machinery exported for the last two months, the general exports of iron for the l as t t we l ve mon th s have been in considerable excess of any former years. Tim nominal price of South Staffordshire iron, 05 declared to-day, may be ;considered the same as last qwirtcr. Unexceptionable authority gives them 05 f, , ilow:—Good makes, in Liverpool, bars, 61.5 x. per ton ; hoops, 71. ; sheet, 71. 15s. In London, ss. 6 1 extra. Fair qualities, 103. to 103. 6d. less. These are unquestionably low prices, but still price* in which Liverpool buyers are said to place little confi dence. They are, however, 10s. to 15s. higher than rater were in 1843. Tin plates, unlike iron, were in great demand, and could be purchased only at prices which must leave s large margin to the maker. The causes which have led to the present untoward condition of the iron trade are excess of productioo• and the entire absence of railway demand. The re' duction of make suggested by the Welch masters if, therefore, very genera!ly approved ; if not adopted, $ • reduction of wages—a fearful expedient in 'winter--- must be the consequence. It is satisfactory to observe, . that few complaints were made to-day of the state of credit. Settlements generally passed off well., THE COUNTRY MARKET'S. LIVERPOOL, OCT.
