By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 426 i per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 13.51] ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on Lon don at short being 13.'4, it follows that gold is 0.41 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at €0 days' sight is 110 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being IN 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.42 per cent. in favour of England; but after making allowance for difference of interest and I charges of transport, the present rate leaves scarcely any profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

KILLING WEEDS ON GRAVEL WALILS..-The best thing to kill small weeds and lichen on fine-rolled gravel walks, is vitriolic acid; the common metersl used in manufactories at about a chilling a gallon. Get an old thrum-mop, and dip it in a bucket of water infused with about a quart of the acid, or as mu , h more as you choose to afford; lightly dab the wetted mop on the top of the weeds on the walk, and the acid will effectually kill them. Avoid the box edgings by using as little liquid as possible. But the ladies' dresses and shoes are in danger from the operation, the walk should be stopped up until a good shower of rain falls, or if you get a bucket of water the next day, infused with common washing soda, and apply it in the came manner with a mop (but rather more plentifully), you neutralise and render harmless the acid not until after it has killed the weeds. This does not refer to thoroughly untidy walks full of weeds, but to neat walks partially infected with them. Cottage Gardener.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN ClRCUlll—Liverpool, Aug. 23. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr.-134r0n PLATT.) William James Chew and John Smith were in dicted for conspiring, together with other evil dis posed persons, to defraud Pedro Wilson and others, and also for holding mock auctions and obtaining moneys by false pretences. Mr. Aspinall and Mr. Milward appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Joseph Pollock defended Smith, and Mr. James defended Chew. Pedro Wilso❑ stated that he was a second purser in the Peruvian navy, and that on the 13th of June, as he was going down Castle-street, Liverpool, he saw a man standing at the door of a shop who asked him to walk in. There was an auction going on, Chew being the auctioneer and Smith amongst the buyers. The first thing witness bought was a gold chronometer, which Smith took in his hand and opened, and said, " It is a very good watch, I will give you 51. for it;" to which Chew replied to Smith, " You had better go out of my shop, you want to buy everything cheap." Chew then advised witness to bid and Smith bid against him ; he then bid again and Smith did the acme, he then bid again, and the watch was knocked down to him for 71. 155., and Chew said to him, " It's your watch." Another watch was then put up, which was stated to be equal in quality to the last. Chew re commended witness to bid, and Smith bid ageing him, and it was eventually knocked down to witness for 71. 55. A watch and chain, which were said to belong to a Mr. Taylor, were then put up. Smith bid Si . , and upon Chew recommending wit ness to bid, as it was the best watch of the lot, is was knocked down to him for 71. 15s ; another watch was then put up, which was knocked down to him for 81. After this, his money being all gone, witness left a deposit, and went to his betel to get some more money, and on his return another watch was put up, which Chew said was the very best in his shop. Smith bid four times for it, and witness bid three, and then Chew said that if witness did not bid Smith would get it from him, and then he bid again, and it was knocked down to him for 91. He after wards found that the watches were worthless, and having obtained a police officer he went back to the auction room, but it was shut up. Cross-examined by Mr. JAMES—Thought he was making a good speculation, having bought the watches to sell to his friends. Had never seen a chronometer watch before. Chew said that the watches were chro nometer balance watches. Richard Trigge, a brushmaker, employed by Chew as a "sweetener," was examined at great length. He stated that he was employed at 16s. wages weekly, and a commission on the articles sold. He had been in the habit of bidding and buying at sales, by direc tion of Chew, who furnished him with mo ne y f o r the purpose. The articles so bought were always re turned. A man named Myers was employed in the same way as himself, and several other persons also received money to bid and pay for goods. The auc tioneers were exchanged several times during the day. After Clarke and Cochrane were engaged as auctioneers, another sale-room was opened, and three auctioneers went from one sale-room to another. When strangers came in the auctioneer, or the men employed, would cry out, "A. mark !" Sometimes California sovereigns were given by Chew and the other auctioneers to buy goods with. When he (wit ness) or his companions induced any one to purchase, they got a commission, which was paid at the end of the week. Witness had received wages as well from Smith as from Chew. The names of the seen men tioned by the witness as being engaged in the same " line" as himself were, Roberts, Myers, Harris, James, and Provost. Placards were placed in the rooms representing the goods as bankrupt's stock, and when strangers came in Chew , represented the goods as such. Oa the occasion of Mr. King, the druggio, buying, the goods were represented. The bankrupt was said to be Mr. Taylor. The JUDGE—Was Mr. Taylor always the bank rupt ? Witness—Re was generally.—(Laughter.) It was Mr. Taylor's watch in num,rous instances. The JUDGE—Poor Mr. Taylor!—(Laughter.) Witness—The watches were generally said to be long to Mr. Taylor.—(Laugher.) Sometimes they changed the name to Rigby.—(Laughter.) Examination continued—On one occasion the shutters were partly put up as though somebody was dead, and Chew, at the commencement of the sale, announced that the bankrupt was dead.—(Roars of isughter.) This circumstance was mentioned through out the day, and there were very good sales.—(Loud laughter.) knowing fellow, on observing this directly bids 40/. ; forty-five, says the gentleman ; fifty, says the know ing one ; fifty-five, says the gentleman ; down goes the hammer, and the gentleman becomes the fortunate possessor of the beautiful steed. He takes it home to his lady, when the brute turns out not to be worth half the money given for him, and the gentleman has been done; but was the auctioneer and his Yorkshire friend in this case to be indicted for conspiracy ? Why, could such be done all of that diverting frater nity who travelled the country for the diversion of her Majesty's lieges might be indicted for conspiracy. A little boy goes to a show, and the exhibitor bawls out, "Be in time! be in time! Within you will see the drowning of the Egyptians in the Red Sea, and the escape of the Israelites therefrom. Be in time ! be in time!" The curiosity of a juvenile standing near is aroused, and an a-sistant of the showman's seeing this tells him that really what has been asserted is a fact—one of the grandest sights ever witnessed is to be seen within. Thus incited, the youth pays his halfpenny and goes in, when being dis.ipphinted in not really seeing the wonders announced, he enters his protest against the fraud in not really seeing the Egyp tians drowned ; upon this the bland showman compla cently says, " Tney were drowned, my little dear, just before you came in."—(Laughter.) Fatal in stance of the evil of procrastination.—(Laughter.) Was the exhibitor and his friend in such a cis(' to be charged with conspiracy ? He (Mr. Pollock) would relate to them an anecdote told him by a friend re• siding in Ireland. In Killarney, at a hurling match, one Tim O'Laughlin received a fracture of one of his legs by reason of the hurl coming in contact with it. Tim's friends immt procumd a stretcher, and carried their wounded companion, to have his leg set. On the way they met a carriage, containing an English gentleman, approaching, and, on coming up s being desirous to make something by the job, ac costed him, telling him that the man on the stretcher, was poor Tins O'Laughlin, one of the finest boys in all the counthry round, who had just been kilt by a hurl, and hid left a wire and five young children, with not so much as would procure a candle to put at the foot of the bed for the wake. Tim all this time lies perfectly deed on the stretcher. The Englishman, being touched, puts his hand in his pocket, draws out a sovereign, and says, " There, that's towards the funeral." " Long life to your honour !" and a score of hands are stretched out to seize the sovereign. Tim, finding that in the scramble, he may be left mieus, raises himself up, and says, " Don't you think, your honour, you'd better let the deceased have a thrifle for himself ?"—(Loud laughter) Now here, on the principle of the present prosecution, was a fine case for an indictment for a conspiracy. Mr. Pollock went on to contend that none of the counts charged could be maintained. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, instructed the jury that if they thought the prisoners conspired, by false pretences and representations, to cheat persons who attended the sale by giving them rubbish instead of goods, which they sold as such, then the conspiracy was made out ; but if they thought it was possible that the prisoners might have opened the establish ment to sell goods at a fair price, and had no inten tion to cheat, they ought to find them not guilty ; and, if they had any reasonable doubt on these points, they must give them in favour of the prisoners. The jury, after a retirement from court of twenty minutes, returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners of conspiring to defraud the three persons named in the indictment, and all who frequented the sale-room. Mr. Pot. Loci( then moved in arrest of judgment upon the Ist, 4tb, 7th, and 11th counts of the indict ment upon which the prisoners had been found guilty, the objection being that those counts stated tha the prisoners had conspired to defraud with other evil disposed p , rsons, but did not state the names of those persona, er allege that they were to the jurors unknown. stantly besieged by gangs of thieves to Ptit strangers, specially those arriving by the Northern RAway. Mr. Mould concurred in this from his own Peri° His LORDSIIIIP overruled the objection, and sen tenced toe prisoners to six months' imprisonment, and to pay a fine of 201., to be paid before their release from prison. This ca:e concluded the summer assize of the Northern Circuit observation. , The prosecutor hoped the worthy magist rate vi°ll deal with the case in a summary manner. . cast be Mr. TYRWHITT remarked, that in such . f Ili could not pos=ibly yield to such a request. ge.nkluil commit•od the prisoner for trial, and said be "i t be grant warrants for the apprehension of been° ow e party who could be identified as having cerned in the outrage.

Daniel ill`Dermott, a man dressed like a sailor, bu\ described es a hawker, was charged with a robbery upon a young woman named Sarah Jacobs, housemaid in the service of Dr. Power, a physician in Finsbury square. The complainant stated, that while engaged in the kitchen of her master's house about three o'clock in the afternoon, she was beckoned up the area steps by the prisoner, who told her that he bad just come off a long voyage, and having purchased a handsome shawl for his sister, whom he bad not been able to meet with, was anxious to sell it, if he could, as he was very short of money. He then displayed before her a shawl of a showy pattern and colours, and agreed to sell it to her for five shillings, upon condi tion that she would let him have it back again if he should be fortunate enough to discover where his sister resided. She assented to this arrangement, handed him the five shillings, received the shawl, and the prisoner went away; about two days afterwards, however, in the evening, he beckoned her up again, and, telling her that be had had an offer of 2/. for the shawl, expressed his hope that she would let him have it, and he would return her the five shil lings she had paid him. She expressed her readiness to do so, and fetching the article from her boxes, a-ked for her money. The prisoner requested that she would just throw the shawl open, that he might see it was the same, but the instant she had done so he snatched it out of her hand, thrust it into his pocket, and walked off with it. She, however, pursued bim, demanding her money or the shawl, but the prisoner told her he could not pay her, as he had not got the 55., and with regard to her purchasing the shawl for so small a sum, it was entirely false, as the ss. was only an instalment of its value, and that she had agreed to give him 16s. more. This was a pure fabrication, and, on finding he could cot get away from her, he offered her two or three worthless white handkerchiefs in exchange, but she refused to receive them, and as, after following him a long dis tance, she could neither get the shawl nor the money, she gave bim into the custody of the first policeman she met. Allen, a constable of the G division, stated that, seeing a large crowd collected in Union-street, he went up to ascertain the cause of it, and found the prisoner endeavouring to escape from the young woman, who was holding him by the arm and charg ing him with robbing her: Upon taking him into custody and searching him the shawl he bad sold to Dr. Power's servant was found in one pocket, while in another was a quantity of petty articles of haber dashery, together with a regular hawker's licence. On the road to the station he begged the witness to allow him to sell the shawl, which he said he could dispose of for 255., and he would then return the pro secutrix's money, hut the witness refused to accede to any such course, and lodged him in the station. Mr. Vann, who now appeared for the defence, con tended that the evidence was wholly insufficient to warrant his client's committal upon such a charge, and pointed out the apparent improbability of his selling the shawl for such a sum as that described; but the magistrate did not view it in the same light, and the depositions having been in great part taken by Mr. Vine, the chief-clerk, the prisoner was or dered;to be finally committed for their completion. Henry Gregory, a printer's joiner, who stood re manded upon the charge of feloniously causing the death of a young man named Dutton, potman in the service of a publican in Hoxton-square, was then brought up for final examination. The deceased, it may be recollected, met his death in the course of a pugilistic encounter with the pri soner, to whom he had offered great provocation, and who at the end of the fifth or sixth round struck him so violent a bloat under the ear that he instantly dropped into the arms of one of the bystanders, and never moved again. Mr. Sydenhati Watson, a surgeon in the New North-road, now deposed to having made a post , mortem examination of the body of the deceased on the 20th instant, and that his opinion clearly was that the death had resulted from an effusion of blood upon the brain, which had caused the rupture of a blood vessel, consequent upon the infliction of some violent blow or bloat. He also found, upon further exami nation, that the third rib on the left side had been broken, and on various parts of the body be dis , covered numerous contusions, some of which were very severe. The prisoner, who ;had all through expressed ex. , treme regret for the occurrence, now intimated his intention to reserve his defence, and was fully corn- 1 bslll' th mitted to New ate for trial. or • DATIGHT&R.

Chew after wards sold the 71. watch for him, and he (witness) lost 20s. by it. He again attended the sale, and a watch was put up, for which Trigge and Bamford bid against, and when it got up to 71., it was knocked 4c:own to him (witness). Another watch was knocked down to Trigge for 71. 55., on which he deposited a sovereign. Bamford went out of the shop and asked him (Mr. King) to bid at a watch for him, which he did. He purchased the watch for 51, but Bamford would not take it from him, and an allowance, in con sequence, was made upon a watch which he (witness) bought on the following day for 61. 15s. Subse quently one of the watches which was purchased for 71. was sold by Chew to Smith for 61. 7s. 6d. The money for this watch he did not get until the pri soners were taken before the magistrates, though he had made application for it. In cross-examination by Mr. JAMES the witness said he was neither from the north, nor yet was he a Yorksbireman._(Laughter.) He bought five gold watches and a silver one, although he was displeased with his first bargain. "I sold two of them," said Mr. King, " for 6/. 7s. 6d., and Chew took one of the watches back in exchange for an English watch. That watch was taken to my uncle's° and pledged for 41.—(Laughter.) It cost me 81. 125." By Mr. PoLLOCK — I have several times been in the company of Chew and Smith, and drank with them. I did not bid for the watch re-sold by Chew, but when Smith offered 61. 7s. 6d. for it I nodded for him to take it. William Jackson, a boy who bad been in the ser vice of the prisoners, stated that the persons engaged as sweeteners received half-a crown a day. A coin mission of 31. was given on a silver watch and 6d. on a gold one to each one who induced a person to buy. One of the sweeteners, named Janes, used to examine the watch through a glass, say he was a watchmaker, that he understood watches, and recommended watches. Provost, another sweetener, said he was a spring-maker, and had hurt his finger whilst work ing far Mr. Daniels. When a buyer was in the room a sign was made by the holding up a finger, indicating that they were to bid no more. Money was given to the sweeteners to buy with. Sometimes it was good money, and at other times California gold. When a stranger was outside the door the man who saw him would ca ll out " graft, " or " swance."—(Laughter.) A man named Myers used to tread on people's toes ' and those so t ro dd en on were called "crabs."—(Laughter.) John Ferrer, a watch - movement-maker, from St. Helen's, who had been duped, was examined. Much merriment was created by the witness pointing out, with a wand furnished to him, a gentleman sitting at the table, es the person who acted as auctioneer. On a second examination he proved more successful, and immediately upon his eye catching the figure of Smith he pointed him out by holding the wand in the manner a person does a gun when shooting. Wit ness stated that he had bought a watch for 21. 12s. On the following day he bought another watch for 71. Another auctioneer acted on this occasion. He left the silver watch as a deposit on the gold watch. Hi afterwards returned with the money to pay for the watch, hut he could neither get the watches nor the money which he had paid for the silver w,,teh. John W a l s h, anot h er b oy emp l oye d by the pri soners, gave a further insight into the mysteries and tricks of the mock 'auction system. Mr. Joseph Green, assayer, of Chester, gave the quantity ofgold in the different watches and chains. The chains were what the trade called gold chains. All gold chains contained a large quantity of alloy. Th- watches were watchmaker's gold. , STOCK Exmwstar..—The share market ha- A ceedingly fiat to-day, and prices had a downifs„ ru iorXn e r, The transactions were as follow :—Lancashire anutiocbes.i,o, 4746 c.—London and North-Western, 1144 -- nefra'' Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 24 c.

His estimate was from 755. to 80s. None of the watches would sell as gold watches. Mr. A. Jacobs, who said he had bad experience in a jeweller's shop tor two years, in cross-examination, said such watches as those produced would sell for gold Geneva watches, for as much as 71 109. Mr. JAMES addressed the jury for Smith. He con tended that if such an indictment could be sustained, every auctioneer in the town would be open to the same charge. Mr. POLLOCK, in an ingenious and humorous speech, addressed the ju r y on t h e part of Chew. The same thing, ha said, as those charged in the present indictment were practised every day in the moat re spectable auction-rooms in the town, and the remar k would apply to Lucas's mart Here a horse was brought out for sale, and the auctioneer described him " as one of the finest animals in existence, sound wind and limb, by Priam, out of a celebrated dam, with a long Awl distinguished pedigree; a splendid charger, will go in harn es s, an d carr y a l a dy."
