The Hamburgh papers have advices from Vienna of the 29th ult., stating that the Russian Cabinet has resolved to induce the German rowers to join a grand diplomatic congress to be held in Vienna. At this Congress the pending questions of European policy are to be decided, and a new basis for the system of states is to be established. The journey of Count Nesselrode to Ischl is said to be undertaken for the purpose of gaining the Austrian Emperor and his Cabinet for this Russian idea, and to ensure to it the support and co-operation of Austria. A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin, of the 3d inst., in the Kolner Zeitung, states that the semi-official papers of that date announce, that in consequence of a resolution which the Council of Princes took on the 26th ult., all the Governments of the League have imitated the example of Prussia in declining to attend or asesent to the Austrian Federal Diet (Bun destag) at Frankfort. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Kolner Zeitung has a telegraphic dispatch from Frankfort, of the 3d inst., stating that the Da nish Plenipotentiary has summoned the Federal Committee sitting in that city to ratify the treaty of peace of the 2d of July. Another dispatch from Kiel of the same date states that the Holst,in Diet has been convoked by the Stadtholders. The Diet is to meet at Kiel on Mon day, the 9th inst. NEW ZEALAND, The following is an extract from a letter dated Wellington, April 22 t•— 'Oa Thursday evening (the 11th), after a tedious day's work beating up the northern shore of the Banks' peninsula, we came to an anchor about seven o'clock just outside the heads of Port Cooper. If we had had two hours' more daylight we should have gone in, but our captain is very cautious ; and though we had been positively assured that nothing could possibly happen even if we ran in blindfold, he preferred waiting till morning. Elt six o'clock we weighed anchor, the wind being fair. thotuh light, and passed quickly up to the bay. None of us, I believe, were prepared for the beauty of the scenery; it took us more by surprise than eves at Otago, for the sketches which we had seen in England were very far from inviting. The character is very different from that of the lovely lake on the banks of which Port Chalmers lies, but I am not sure that I do not prefer it; the hills are very bold, both in face and in outline, bare for the must Part—that is, with only small patches of wood at the bottom of the glens, but with much of that sublimity which is produced by extent of view and rugged wildness. The harbour is very fine, both in a picturesque and utilitarian point of view; the captain and all the nautical men on board were de lighted with it, and gave it a very decided preference over Otago, as being equally safe and far easier of ingress and egress. It consists in a regularly shaped inlet, aoout aeven miles long from the entrance to the end, and varying from a mile to a mile and a half in ividtb. It is open to one wind (E.N.E.), but everybody agrees that it never blows hard from Chat qaarter, and also that the swell is lost befire it reaches the harbour. There is good anchorage outside in seven fathoms, and thence it gradua , ly shoals to three fathoms, about five miles up. " There are two small bays, in which, if it should be fund necessary, shelter for ships may be found from the only wiad to which the rest of the harbour is exposed. Nu pilot is required, as there is literally nothing t.) .void, except the hills on each.side, and there is width t•nough to heat in or out in fine weather. Half way up the harbour we passed a whale-boat, which informed us that we might go up and anchor opposite ' the town.' At that time we had seen no sign of civilisation except she line of a road in process of formation along the face and over the top of the hill on the tortLern shore, and no human habitation except some moor huts close ta the beach, but we held on, and presently another whale boat, wish Captain Thomas, the chief surveyor of the association, on board, shot from behind a bluff on the northern shore and boarded us. Immediately afterwards we let go our anchor, though the town was not yet visible, and my wife and I went off with Thomas. On rounding the bluff aforesaid, I was per fectly astounded with what I saw. One might have supposed that the country had been colonized for years, so settled and busy was the look of its port. In the first place, there is - what the Yankees would call a splendid jetty,' thence a wide and beaten looking road leads up the hill, and turns off through a deep cutting to the eastward; on each side of the road *item are houses scattered to the number of about twentj-five, including two hotels' and a Custom house (in the shape of a small weather-boarded hut, certainly, but a Custom-house). In a square railed off close to the jetty are four excellent houses, intended for emigrants' barracks, with a cook-house in the centre. Next to the square comes a small house which Thomas now inhabits himself and which he destined for an agent's office; behind this, divided' from it by a plot of ground intended for a garden, stands a stately edifice which was introduced in due form to us as ' our house.' It is weather-boarded, has six very good-sized rooms, and a viranda; in short, after seeing it, we could not help laughing at our own anticipations of a shed on the bare beach with a fire at the door. The first view of these plains, as of all others that I have seen in New Zealand, is rattier disappoisr.ing to an English eye—that iF, oue nai4ses the greenness and luxuriance which the growth of grass in a coun try long cultivated and grazed over exhibits. Ihe flax plant, too, which grows largely all over them, exactly resembles at a distance that kind of bulrush which we call flags, so that, although in fact the pre sence of it denotes, as I am told, unerringly that the soil is sound and sufficiently dry for cultivation, the appear ance given by is that of barren swamps. When we got down into the plain, we soon perceived the difference be . . . . tween the real bulrush, which dces actually grow in some spots, and the flax. We overtook several of our fellow-pa,sengers who had starttd hr fore us walking, and found them unaccustomed to new countrie as they were open-mouthni about the want of luxuriant grass. We saw the country to great disadvantage, for there have been six months of almost unprecedented dry weather, but, atter making allowance for this, I am sure that until it shall have been either broken up or grez?d over no part of it will produce grass to be competed with soil of equal quality in old countries. There is no difference of opinion, however, so f it as I can learn among those who know the country RS to the land in the Canterbury plains being of fully average quality, capable of fattening sheep and cattle, as well as of giving good crops of all kinds. When we arrived at Mr. Deans 's farm we bad a pruef of this, for his garden, which never saw or heard of ma nure, is producing luxuriantly every kind of vegetables and fruits—l never raw a finer show of them—apples, pears, perches, everything, in short, flourishes. I wish I could send home a specimen of the apples, they look like waxwork. _ _ "On our return to the port we found our passengers and crew scattered about loud in their praises of the progress which has been made in so short a time, as well as of the prospects held out by the settlement, and com paring everything with Otago, very much to the disad vantage of the latter, which seems to have found favour in nob,dy's eyes. They forget that Thomas has had the spending of a larger sum of money on a givcia spot than any other pioneer of settlement in this country has had; so that the superiority of his operations is not to be laid alt gether to the account of his merits. Cer tainly no body of settlers ever found so much done to smooth their path for them as ours will find. Most agri cultural produce, cx .ept flour, is already cheaper than at Otago; meat is plentiful, at sid. per lb.; fresh butter, Is. per lb.; cheese, Is. per lb.; eggs and milk, appa rently varying in price, but generally reasonable enough; potatoes, 4s. 61 per cwt. The chief supplier of the market is a man named Rhodes, who lives on the oppo site side of the harbour from 143 ttelton, and who is the only person besides Deans and those who have bought from the French at Akroa, whose title to land has been recognized. Ho has, I understand, 400 acres, and his stock consists of 3,500 sheep, and about 300 head of cattle. We dined w i t h Th omas , en d there was also a dinner at the grog-shop dignified by the name of the Mike' Hot-I, and kept by Major Hornbrook, a field officer of Engineers in the Spanish Legion, who has come down from Wellingto n on a s p ree , e nd who says he will give 1001 a year to the individual who gets the section on which he has located himself. This gallant officer's cookery and accommodations are very well re ported of. " I think all those who see the Canterbury settlement will almit that, as I have said before, no first body of colonists from Britain have ever found so much done to prepare for and welcome them as ours will find. In fact, difficulties in the usual sense of the word, as applied to colonisation, there will be none—no roads to make, no forests to clear, no want of food or lodging, or of facili ties for c h - ;osing and settling upon land. Many things will no doubt be expensive at first; for example, wood, some articles of provisions, and labour; but every man's enterprise may be made the subject of calculation on paper, as in an old country. Humanly speaking, there is no uncertainty or chance of disappointment to provide against. He may lose his money, but if he does, again I Say, humanly speaking, it will be his own fault, and not the result of his obstacles which he could not fore see. If el certain that a vast deal of the discontent and mutual bad feeling which is so painfully conspicuous at Otago takes its origin from the discomforts and embar rassments experienced by men thrown with their wives and children upon a bare shore at the beginning of win ter, without a road or a clearing, or a sign of civilization to welcome or to cheer them. At that time they not un naturally acquire the habit of abusing the association and the company, and their leaders, and each other, and they have certainly never lost it, and I earnestly trust the example may not be logt noon us." SHOCKING ACCIDENT. GRAVESEN D , SEPT. 4. -- About half-pest nine o'clock last night the inhabitants in the neighbour hood of a house in New-street, lately taken by the coachman of Mr. Levy, lessee of the Terrace-gar dens, were alarmed at hearing dreadful screams is suing from the house. From Mr. Busby's tavern, in Terrace-street, close by, several persons rushed to the place, and found a little girl, about twelve years of age, issuing from the front door enveloped in flames, and uttering the most appalling shricits. Her clothes were almost altogether consumed, and her head, face, shoulders, and chest presented the most horrible ap pearance. The flesh was literally burning off. Medical assistance was had as coon as possible, but in the intermediate time Mr. Burbidge, chemist, ap- plied everything necessary to assuage the dreadful suffering of the poor gill. It app-ared that s!.O had lac en 0?,137 hired th,. &Iv k fore by the c ac h ui that there :i's wife, ai:cl,,had been left in tL,c house alete hweldcilbsteetnheiyn a NiT c r l e os a e b t s o e f n a t n at u p t p h e e r room som e 8,08 8,357 5,496 8,107 10,905 9,658 12,350 4,203 22,180 11,478 22,26 27,650 2,875 11,570 11,783 FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1850. which probably were of the kind used in the gardens, and that the girl from curiosity was examining them, when they exploded and set her clothes on fire. That she ran down stairs screaming, and igniting the pas sage as she passed, and that her screams created the alarm which perhaps may save her life, and most pro bably has saved this part of Gravesend from another calamitous fire. Tne fire caused by her ignited clothes as she rushed down the stairs was speedily put out by the exertions of the neighbours, and by the timely arrival and assistance of the police, headed by Superintendent North. The sufferer, who had been at first removed to Mr. Busby's, where every possible attention had been paid to her, was, by direction of the medical officer of the workhouse, taken to that place, but her recovery is considered hopeless. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Yesterday, Edward Matthew Macklin, who was charged at this court, on Saturday last, with obtain ing a quantity of silk and satin goods, of foreign ma nuracture, to the value of 6001., under fraudulent re • presentations, was again placed at the bar bs•fore Al derman Challis, for further examination, relative to the same charge. Mr. Gant appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Drew for the defence. Mr. Parry attended on behalf of Mr. Sowerby the pawnbroker (with whom goods had been deposited by the prisoner, and on which Mr. Sowerby had ad vanced upwards of 2601.) He stated that he wished to put the alderman right, as well as the public with regard to Mr. Sowerby having any intention of throwing any impediment in the way of the prosecu tion against the prisoner, or defeating the ends of justice. He was instructed by Mr. Sowerby to in form the alderman that he was perfectly willing, as far 83 the goods in the present cise were concerned, to render every facility for the purpose of furthering the interests of justice. A report had appeared in the public papers that Mr. Sowerby seemed indis posed to afford any assistance in obtaining a convic tion in this case on account of the lots he would pro bably sustain in having to give the goods up to the prosecutor. Mr. Sowerby was perfectly willing to produce all or any goods required, either at this court or at the Old Bliley, in the event of the prisoner being sent for trial. Alderman CHALLIS said that, on the previous ex amination, which took place on Saturday last, he certainly was impressed with the idea that Mr. So werby had no inclina•ion to attend to the require ments of this court. The explanation given by Mr. Parry had entirely removed the impression that he bad erroneously conceived. The following was the additional evidence taken yesterday : Henry John Nicoll examined—l am a tailor car rying on business in Regent-street, and in partner ship with Mr. D. Nicoll (the present sheriff). I never gave prisoner an order fir six pieces of silk serge on the 13th of last July. There is no person in our establishment competent to give orders with out my sanction. No goods consisting of silk serge were left at our house on the 13fle of July, or any subsequent day, by the prisoner. I had no appoint ment with him whatever on the 3d of August, neither have I ever seen him before to my knowledge. Robert Rawcliffe, 26, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy square, tailor—l have known prisoner for the last six years. The last time I saw him was about six months ago. I did not order three pieces of silk serge and one of satin on the 13 hof July. I did not order goods of prisoner of any description whatever on that day. The last time I had any business transaction with prisoner was about three years ago. He bought some articles of clothing of me. I never purchased goods of any kind from prisoner. George Sanders, of the firm of Eyre and Sanders, Tottenham-court-rosd, drapers—l have known pri soner about six or seven years. I saw him about three or four months ego. I have been in the habit of purchasing goods of the prisoner, but I have not bought any of those in question, neither has any part of them been left at our establishment on approval or otherwise. All goods purchased by our firm pass through my hands, and, had any order been given to the prisoner by my partner (who is out of town), I must have seen either the goods or the invoice thereof. It is customary to send an invoice with all goods submitted for approval. Edward Grays, assistant to Mr. Sowerby, pawn broker, produced the goods pawned by the prisoner and in his name. He also produced two pieces of silk serge, which were identified as the property of the prosecutor. Mr. Gant said he had gone as far as he could with the one case, and he would next proceed with that in which the prisoner obtained certain goods, as he stated, according to order, from a Mr. Bell, of Bury street, St. James's. E. 11. Davies—On the 21 of July prisoner had two ro p v ie a c h e of l satin pi eces d o e c f h s e a n t e i ,t to o one a pv ie cweist of h M s e r r . g ß e e Il a n o d n a o p n p e let him have the goods in consequence of nay having been led to believe that it was to execute an order from Mr. Bell. They are valued about 801., and I have not seen them sicce. I never gave prisoner directions to pledge the goods for me under any cir cumstances. The order I produce is in the prisoner's handwriting. George Bell proved that he had neither ordered nor received any goods from the prisoner. Edward Grays—l produce the goods mentioned in the memorandum. They were pledged by the prisoner at Mr. So werby's for 481. Mr. Davies identified these goods, and Alderman CHALLIS said be should remand the case for a week, in order to give the prosecutor time to complete the various cases that he intended to prose cute the prisoner on. The prisoner was then remanded for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DISTURBANCE BETWEEN THE 11 Ts HUSSARS AND CIVILIANS. About half-past eleven o'clock on Saturday night, the inhabitants of St. Matthew's and Westgate streets, Ipswich, were disturbed from their slumbers by se veral low fellows assaulting two of the privates of the 11th Hussars, now stationed in the Ipswich barrack'. The two soldiers were, according to the statements of two or three most respectable persons, brutally treated. It appears that, about the time mentioned above, the two soldiers entered the shop of Mr. Ede, female, wine and spirit merchant, wh e r e ' they saw a the wife of one of their comra d es , w h om Fade, a man named West, a sawyer, and another named Rivers, a painter, were insulting. The two soldiers remonstrated with the men for such unmanly conduct, but the latter still continued to abuse the soldiers and the woman, who did all they possibly could to prevent any disturbance; but finding Rivers and West determined to commit - a breach of the peace, the soldiers left, and were proceeding quietly down the street, when they perceived that they were being followed by nearly twenty persons. When the soldiers arrived opposite the Crown and Anchor both their caps were knocked off by a mob, who ill-used them in a most cowardly way. After several skir • mishes the soldiers got the worst of it, there being about fifty persons present at this time, some of whom jumped upon the soldiers when lying in the road, kicking and othersaise ill- treating them. The soldiers then beat a retreat, but they had not reached beyond Mr. Read's, watchmaker and jeweller, before they were again overtaken. After they had again met with most brutal treatment at the hands of the mob, the soldiers once more managed to get away from them, one running up Globe-lane, and the other round Mr. Churchman's corner, pursued by their assailants, who were hallooing and making a great noise, much to the annoyance of the peaceable inha bitants. The soldier who ran up Globe-lane fortu nately got clear away from his pursuers, but the other poor fellow was not so fortunate, and finding them too close at his heels to be pleasant, he ran into the house occupied by Mr. Rowlson, nearly opposite the Temperance Hall, and begged protection. Mr. Rowl son had much difficulty in keeping some portion of the people from entering his house. Some of them de manded that the soldier should be given up to them, and even intimated that unless their orders were at teeth dto they would break open Mr. Rowlson's house. In the meantime police-constables Cole, Bit ornfield, and Ponder, came up, and they, in a short time, escorted the soldier to the barracks, followed by a large number of persons shouting and making a great noise. One of the soldiers bad his lip cut open, and the other sustained such severe injuries that he was taken to the hospital. The soldiers assaulted, we are informed, are two of the best conducted men in the regiment. On the follow ing night (Sunday), a party of ten or twelve soldiers belonging to the 11th Hussars, comrades of the two soldiers who were assaulted by the civilians on the previous night, sallied forth with the evident deter mination to make an attack upon the parties, some of whom it appears were well known to them. For this purpose they proceeded to the Royal William Bowl ing-green, where they found %Vest (one of the men who had originated the quarrel), and a person named Jordan. A slight row here took place between them, which resulted in West and Jordan being rather roughly handled-by the soldiers in the public road ; but the former managed to escape from his assailants. About half-past eleven o'clock, ten or twelve soldiers again met West and Jordan opposite the Feathers public-house, in Westgate-street, ashen they made another attack upon them. The soldiers had taken off their jackets, one of their comrades holding them. Some of the soldiers were at this time armed with short sticks, which they used pretty freely upon the heads and persons of West and Jordan, so much so, that Jordan's head was broken open, and he was taken to Mr. Sampson's surgery, where his wounds were bound up. West, after the fray, was picked up quite insensible, and conveyed to his home by two of the police. Information having been given to the guard at the barracks, a picquet was at once sent out in search of the soldiers.—lpswich Express. TICKETING SI:WM—Two respectably dressed young women applied to Mr. Bingham for assistance in the following case. They were plating through Oxford-street, when they where attracted to the window of a linendraper's shop where piles of dresses were ticketed up one shilling each. Mr. v BINGUA111—" One shilling" very large and conspicuous, and I suppose " elevenpence halfpenny" small, and almost invisible in one corner. Telis is the third or fourth case of the same hind which has been made known at this :court during the last day or two. Where is this shop? Applicant—At No. 16, Oxford .street. " Read and Co." is over the door. On the ticket, which my friend and myself looked at carefully, there was only one shilling marked. I asked the man at the door what the price was, and he said a shilling. One of the dresses had no mar k on i t, and I asked him the price of it. He said one shilling —all the lot was at the same price. I sa id I would take one out of curiosity, and I went into the shop and chose the one without a mark, and put down a shilling. The person who served me threw the money into the till, and demanded ls. 11d. more, as he said the price of the dress was 2s. 11d. I said I would not take it at that price, and requested to have my money returned. The man, in a sneer i ng way, told me to get it back if I could. I said if I could not get back the money I would not return the dress. The man then seized the parcel which he had given me, and by main force deprived me o f i t. I came away with the intention of applying for redress at this Court. Mr. BINGIIAM was afraid the only redress the ap plicant could obtain would be at the County Court. He should give her the same advice he had given to other sufferers—to take out a summons against the shopkeeper, and no doubt the jud ge wou ld g i ve her c ompensation for loss of time and other damage. The applicant said she could not spare the time. She certainly thought it strange there was no law to punish what appeared to be acts of violence and rob bery like these. The applicants then left the court. SOUTH WARK. TIIE LATE HIGHWAY ROBBERY AT BANKSIDE.-- Yesterday, Robert Archer, alias Messenger, and Francis Davis, two well-dressed young men, were brought before Mr. Beadon, for further examination, charged with being concerned with another not in custody in assaulting Alfred Greenland, clerk to Messrs. Sanders and Co., wholesale cheesemongers, Collingwood•street, Blackfriara-road, and robbing him of a bag containing upwards of 3751. in Bank of England notes and gold and silver. The facts of this case have already appeared in the columns of The Sun. Mr. BEADON said it was a very desreree highway robbery, and he had made up his mind to commit the prisoners for trial ; but he should remand them to enable the officer to apprehend the other man. The prisoners were accordingly remanded for a week. Tb prisoner said he was a journeyman tailor out of work, and he found the property in the Street.— Remanded. LAMBETH. A RELIGIOUS ENTHUSIAST.—Yesterday a young woman, in an " inky cloak" and other habiliments of woe," having no fixed residznce, and following no occupation, was charged ,with creating a disturbance and annoying the congregation in St. George's Boman Catholic Cathedral, St. George's-road. Susan Weller, of 13, Melina•place, Westininster. road, deposed that prisoner had on many occasions insulted and annoyed the congregation. She had for a considerable time received elms from the Rev. Mr. Cotter, but directly he withheld the supplies she had written a number • of impertinent letters to that gentle man. Anne Reynol is said that upon one occasion, when she told prisoner that she was not a fit person to come into the holy temple of God, she spat in her face, took off one of her shoes, and threatened to " smite her lusti!y" with it. Jane Ellis, 63, Tower-street, stated that the priso ner the night before went up to the altar in St. George's Church and threw a Bible at her, and de clared she would lie in ambush for her until such time as she should have an opportunity of immolating her on the altar of an offended Deity. Prisoner in her defence, said----Sir, I have been summoned here this day before . God and your Wor ship. Th , . only clothes I have in the world are these I now stand in. I have been horn, bred, end reared a good and devout Roman CAtholic ; but they won't let me say my prayers in the church as I ought to say them. The temple of God is open to the poor as well as the rich. I leave the case in the hands of God and your Worship. She WAS ordered to find two sureties in V. each for her keeping the peace, for f airteen days. IV ORS 1111)- S TR E E T. AN ARTFUL YOUNG TUlEF.—illary Ann Archer, a neatly-dressed girl, of diminutive stature, who stated herself to be only eleven years of age, although she had an &der look, was placed at the bar upon two charges of robbery. .Mrs. Harriet Thetford, of 27, Nelson. street, City rose, stated that on Saturday se'nnight she hired the prisoner as a servant, but not to sleep in the house, and took her without character from motives of charity, as she appeared to b.?, destitute. Oa Sanday, however, the prisoner, being sent out with money to purchase some thing, never returned, and it was then discovered that she had stolen finer d; eases, a silk visite, a pair of stays, a shawl, and pair of boots, &c. On Wednesday even ing complainant met Irer in Shepherdess walk, City road, and, laying hold of her, said, " You are the wicked girl who stole my things." The prisoner made no reply, and was taken to the police-station, where the stolen strays were found upon her, and it v, as ascertained that she had sol I two of the dresses, the visite, &c., for 11. 6d., at a rag shop in Suffolk street. M s. Mary Tsplev, of White Lion-street, Penton vine, preferred another charge of robbery against the prisoner, who had been taken into her service in a similar way on Wednesiay se'nnight. She remained there until !he Saturday evening, when she was sent out to procure change for a half-sovereign, with which she absconded, and on the following day (Sunday) it was discovered that she had stolen a Bible and Prayer , book out of a closet. Tne Bible was now produced, the prisoner having sold it for 21. at the rag-shop be fore mentioned. The magistrate was informed that the prisoner, when met with and given into custody on Wednes day, was carrying some butter, &c., and there was every reason to believe, from her appearance, she had again become a " servant," but she refused t' ) say where she lived, or to give any other information about h*r<el'. The prisoner being now questioned as to her pine of abode, her parentage, and other matters, tn;tintained an obstinate silence, and tha magistrate remanded her for a week, as it was c , )nsidered probable that other charges would be brought against her. HERRING TRADE. Wicx, AUGUST 29.—The herring fishing in this district has been a good deal interrupted this week by the inclemency of the weather, which is the more to be regretted, as there appeared to be a body of excellent fish on the coast. There were some very heavy shots each day, ranging from thirty- seven to fifty crans, but a great many boats were poorly fished. Oa \Vednesday several curers were very heavily fished, and had late and disagreeable work in salting. lied the boats got to sea that night and the remainder of the week, of which at present there is not much pros pect, the fishing, it is believed, would have been a full average one. There is every probability now of its turning out a short fishing, as little good is Ex pected to be done after this week,: which, with many crews, will be the winding up for the season. The average for the season is crans, being about 44 crans per boat under the same date last ycar. Price of cured fish is slightly on the rise, though most pur chases during the week have been made at last week's quotation of 15s. for full crown brands. We have heard some rumours of 15s. 3d. to 15s. 6d. having been paid for small parcels, but the standard price may still be put down at 15s. Spent fish continues at 11 se per barrel. At the above prices a good deal of business has been done. Price of green fish during the week has ruled at Bs. to Bs. 6d. per cran for full fish, and 4s. to 53. for spent. —John o' Groat Journal. LYBSTEU, AUG. 28.—The weather has been very boisterous for the past week, and all our boats did not get regularly to sea. Notwithstanding, some boats have been well fished. The total average for the season is exactly 122} crans per boat, though some reports would have it higher. Three vessels have sailed this week with cargoes for Stettin, and other three, ve ssels are waiting t o b e l oa ded for vas rious ports. No sales since last report. Prices look ing rather up:—.Mid. HELMSDALF, AUG. 28.—We have got on well week, and bid fair for an average 111 crans is th e a v erage for the year's s d e u a r s i) o r fishing.ng. the past List year the average was 120 craw, and the number of boats exceeded, by 29, that of this year. To-day a few Ross shire boats ran here and sold their herrings at 7s. Gd. and Bs. per cran. BURGIIEAD, AUG. 26.—The fishing here still con tinues pretty good. THE MURDERER BENNISON. In reference to the case of William Bennison, who h w w e a s understand lately e xec u t t h e ed forauthorities the haveer of ascertainedi s second w g l e e , following facts relative to the death of his first wife, Mary M'Mullan. After leaving Ireland with her, Bennison brought her to Airdrie, where they remained in lodgings for a week. She com plained of having been sea-sick on the voyage, but otherwise looked in good health. For two days before her death she laboured under inces sant vomiting and purging, accompanied by exces sive thirst. No medical man was called, Bennison alleging that his circumstances could not afford it, and afterwards, on a fellow -lodger offering to pay the expenses, that he had already advised with a doctor, who had told him to give her a little wine or an y thin g she could tak e . Her death surprised the other in mates of the house, and excited suspicions which were only allayed by Bennison's great pretensions to piety. She was buried the day after her death by the aid of funds collected from a few persons of his own religious persuasion ; and the day after the funeral he left, taking her clothes with him, and was heard A ves ß ti i g b a le ti , little room of no more in Airdrie till after his trial appeared in the newspapers, and attracted the attention of a fellow-lodger, who wrote a letter which led to in own'hichTbileelocnigrecduntlostiihnecre: leave bearing her name, to doubt as to what was the fa . e of Mary M'Mullan. is in possession of a person in Airdrie, so that there is no dou bt of her and his identity. The grave she was buried in i s known to a nearness; and had it been necessary to carry out the investigation , it is perfectly possible that even the lapse of eleven years would not have prevented the cause of death from being ascertained with sufficient precision for t he ends of justice—the presence of arsenic being supposed capable of detec tion, even in the mouldering remains of the body, or in the earth of the grave, after the lapse of a very considerable period. —Scotsman.

THE MURDER OF THE COUNTESS OF GORLITZ.— J , ean StaufF, who had been condemned toperpetual impri _s_onment for having assassinated the Countess of Goerlitz,. at Darmstadt, has just confessed his crime in the prison of i ag ing her by the throat ::;:d Ltr , :ing Marienschlop.

The prisoner was charged at this court on Tuesday last with having attempted to cut her throat, when, under a promise to return home with her mother, she was discharged. On Wednesday evening she left her mother's residence, No. 13, Northampton row, Clerk enwell, and purchased a quantity of laudanum, when she entered the shop of a Mrs. Jones, of No. 17, Lock's-gardens, Clerkenwell, and requested a glass of water, into which she put the poison and she swal lowed it, and said, "Go and tell my mother that I have poisoned myself." A surgeon was sent for, and she was restored to her senses, when she was given into the custody of 172 G, who took her to the station house, and on her way she expressed her determina tion to put an end to her existence some time or other. 172 G confirmed the evidence. The prisoner's mother said that the prisoner had been disappointed in a " love affair,!' which had af. fected her mind. The prisoner hung her held and said nothing. Mr. TYRWHITT said for her own security he would commit her for one week to the House of Correction. James Hill was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyr white, charged by Mr. Williams, wl.olesale b rus h manufacturer, of No. 11, Charing-cro,s, with a rob bery, the discovery of which took place under the following extraordinary circumstances:— It appeared from the evidence of John Porter, No. 101 G, an active officer, that he saw the prisoner walking near Field-lane, S Saffron-hill, with a b ag, and hearing something rattle in it, and suspecting it to contain stolen rwter pots, he questioned him, and, answering evasively, he took him to the station-house.

Cunrous CASE.—THE MAN WITH TWO WIVES AND THE WOMAN WITH POUR HUSBANDS.—John Samuel Harris, a tall and re?pectable- looking man, aged 45, was brought before the Hon. G. C. Nortor, on a warrant granted by the Assistant-Judge of the Middlesex Sessions, for the purpose of putting in bail to answer a bill of indictment, on which the grand jury have found a true bill, for assaulting his wife, E'izsbeth lLrris, of No. 38, Farmer-street, Shadwell, where she keeps a lodging -house for sailors. Th e parties have for a series of years led a very troubled life, and their domestic differences hive been repeatedly settled by the magistrates. The prisoner has been repeatedly fined and hound over in sureties to keep the peace. o..Tasiunally they have lived in harmony for a short time, until Harris has broken out and beaten his wife again. They ware before the tnigistratc a short time ago, and II irris was fined. Ile subsequently applied to the magistrate, because he was denied admission to his own house, and that Mrs. Harris said the furniture was not his, and the house was talon by another husband of her's,although his name was on the list of voters as the occupier of the tenement. The Justice refused to interfere, and Harris de clared he would do something desperate; and subse quently committed such a violent assault on his wife that she was compelled to go.l9:!fore the grand jury. George Mountford, police -sergeant, No. 34 K, proved that Harris was the person named in the war rant of Mr. Sergeant Adams. The prisoner said this was a plan to get rid of him altogether, and that his wife had denied him marital rights, and would not allow him to come home. Tae prosecutrix denied she was the lawful wife of Harris, and said that after she was married to him she found out that he had a wife living at Woolwich, and got married to another man, and gave Harris money to go to sea. Harris said his wife had four husbands. Tne complainant—And you have got two wives. I am in danger of my life from this ni4n. Mr. NORTON said he had nothing to do with the differences of the parties, and that he must call upon the prisoner to put in bail to answer the. bill of in dictment at the sessions ; but finally, on Harris d&- daring his utter inability to find sureties, consented to take his own recognisance to appear and taks his trial.

On oats the turn waq in favour of the seller, Beans and peas firm, but unaltered in value. During the present we,-k, the weather having continued very fine, we have bad no life in the trade; but the wheat which has changed hands realised previous cur rency. Barley less in request.

The sup ply of fat beasts to-day was but small the season of the year considered; the value of all kinds of fat stock for the last four or five weeks (which is very unusual in and about the month of August) has been gra dually on the increase. There were but few sheep offered for sale, for which high prices were asked. The supply of lambs was good, but rather a heavy sale. There were but few fat pigs offered for sale, for which there were many buyers with an advance in price, and an unusual quick sale. Fat calves were scarce.
