ORANGE MANIFEST O. "TO THE PROTESTANTS OF TIIE BRITISH EMPIRE. "In a season of great danger and trial, under much ob loquy and manifold provocations, we have deter mined to appeal to you, "We ask you to hear us calmly, and to give to our case your earnest and practical consideration, not led away by vague prejudices and hasty judgments. " There are some who use towards us the language of con tempt and insult, and others who exhibit to our cause only apathy or impatience; and there are too many who are pro fessors of Protestantism, but who object but feebly even to the religious tenets of the Church of Rome. "We address not such as these—we expect no sympathy from them ; but we appeal to those millions of our fellow countrymen who are still willing to maintain their protest against Rome, and to uphold the religion of the Reformation. "We feel that our cause is good, and that we can prove it to be so ; that our principles are true, and our conclusions sound ; and, further, that the means we desire to adopt for the defence of our cause are not only necessary and effectual, but righteous, legal, and constitutional. "But to our success and safety it is essential that the good will and cordial aid of British Protestants should be engaged in our behalf ; and that their sober and solemn attention should be given to the question of Irish Protestantism, and the peculiar position of the Irish Protestants. "It is our belief that the true principles of the reformed faith are nowhere more ardently loved, or more soundly maintained than in Ireland; and we mournfully believe and fear that our fall would be felt throughout Christendom as a blow to the cause of truth. "Do not look on our interests as remotely, but as very in timately connected with your own ; and when you read our address, cast off all such impressions as may have been made upon you by the levity, the unfairness, the bitterness, and the scorn whitli have hitherto been too often manifested towards this important luestion. " No proof is needed of the eager support that was given by Irish Protestants to the present Administration on their accession to power. There were, indeed, misgivings amongst some sagacious observers of events; but the greater number buried the past in oblivion, and again trusted those who before had disappointed them. While there was • then, as there is now, no diaposition whatever on the part of the Protestants of Ireland to co-operate with the Government in a truly liberal and conciliatory course towards their Roman Catholic countrymen, and no desire to withhold from them the advantages of civil equality, it was hoped and believed that a Conservative Government would have endeavoured to remedy and reverse the ruinous policy of their predecessors, as regarded this part of the empire: that they would not have encouraged the advancement of the Church of Rome; but, guarding against its encroachments, that they would have befriended the Protestant cause, and zealously consulted its interests that, in questions relating to religion and education in Ireland, due regard would have been paid to the principles of Scriptural instruction, and to the claims of that reformed faith which is interwoven with the Constitution, re cognised by the laws, and is the corner-stone of the British monarchy. " Such were our expectations. We challenge the most moderate to point out in the policy of the present Administra tion any signs of affection to the Protestant cause, or any symptoms of resistance or discouragement to the march of the Church of " In the face of the remonstrances of more than a million of British Protestantg, the Roman Catholic College of May nooth has been permanently endowed; the conscientious ob jections of Protestants to the national system of education have been disregarded ; and a peremptory refusal has been given to the rra4onable petition of a large body of the nobi lity, gentry, and clergy of Ireland for aid to instruct the children of the Protestant poor in a manner conformable to their faith. " Whatever may be the judgment of the people of Great Britain as to the merits of the Irish scheme of national edu cation, differing so much from that of England, few of them will deny that the scruples of those who regard Scripture as an essential part of education ought to be provided for as carefully as the scruples of those who claim the authority to exclude it. " We are, therefore, compelled to the startling conclusion, by manifold proofs, that the policy of the Minister is to at tempt to govern Ireland by means of the Roman Catholic party, and to secure their influence and co-operation by con tinued concessions. " We cannot but apprehend, therefore, that heavier blows and greater discoursgements are still in store for us,—that there may yet be a more direct violation of the Constitution, as, for instance, by the endowment of the clergy and Church of Rome--and that, from the policy of the Government, the maintenance of the Established Church in Ireland, although a fundamental article of the union, may be seriously en dangered. "But there are ether and obvious causes of deep anxiety to Irish Protestants; they find themselves encompassed by a wide-spread and fearful conspiracy, and our fair country has been made notorious amongst the nations of Europe as a land of blood and crime: the perpetrator of the foulest murder escapes into triumphant security, and the arm of the law is utterly powerless. " We will not dwell upon this fact; but we earnestly be seech you, in forming an estimate of the conduct and circum stances of Irish Protestant, to give full room and weight to this sad and horrible ingredient. " To associate firmly and peacefully, in the earnest spirit of men who feel the importance of religious truth, and with the cordial loyalty which renders full obedience to the law, has been the thought, and is the wish, of the Protestants of Ireland ; let your judgment as to this desire be deliberate and impartial. " We have confidence in that veneration for constitutional liberty which makes an Englishman jealously watchful over the right of free expression of political opinions. We remind you that the very first indication of a wish to unite for an object we held to be legal, conservative, and religious, has been met. by the Government with an act both arbitrary and harsh. In the late dismissal of magistrates all consideration of their object has been discarded, and a principle established, that to unite for a legal and Protestant purpose, and to unite for an object illegal and unconstitutional, shall incur an equal penalty, ar.d must be treated alike. " How far is this principle to be pushed? Are we to un derstand that all Irish magistrates are prohibited from being connected with any association, or any movement of a poli tical nature ? " If so, any Government of the day may convert the magis tracy into a body ,of political partisans. Would such a course be pursued or submitted to in England ? " We cannot believe that a cause so righteous as ours, and so momenton!►.o the destinies of this great empire, can be wanting in support from the people of Great Britain. How ever this may be, we despair not ; the truth of God, which we desire to uphold, teaches us not to fear, for there is no re straint with Him---' to save by many or by few. " To our Protestant brethren in Ireland we would now address a few words :—Undoubted loyalty has ever distin guished you as a faithful Protestant people. We trust you would not stoop from your high position to seek aid from any source which the spirit of the laws and Constitution forbids or condemns. We need not urge you, we hope, against weakening your union by administering oaths, or using secret signs, a system which modern sedition has promottd, and the law has denounced. " The friends of that. frith which you profess intently and anxiously observe, whilst your enemies as keenly watch your every movement, one act of disobedience to the laws by the huniblest individual amongst you reacts upon the character of the Irish Protestant, and gives occasson to the enemy to malign our glorious cause. •It is ours and yours; our interests are vitally identified with yours, and one member cannot suffer without an influence upon the rest. " We are conscious of the severe triais - which many of you suffer—the state of insecurity and restressness which the evil policy of man has generated by the - discouragement of the good and loyal, and the encouragement ' of the bold and the bad.' Be calm and united, confidept that your principles can never perish. " You can wield lawful weapons with all the confidence of men who know their cause is righteous. The great consti tutional arena is the House of Commons ; and, therefore, every energy should be exerted to secure, to the utmost, a faithful representation of your principles in Parliament. If the registries are neglected, your political influence is para lysed; if perseveringly attended to, some, perhaps much, benefit may arise. We therefore earnestly implore you not to be deceived, or persuaded to abandon the battle of the registry. Political privilege involves political responsibility, and your neglect or apathy is triumph to the foe. "'You have, under every difficulty, the assurance that the darkest cloud with which human tyranny can overshadOw You cannot oh cure the bright bow of Christian hope, nor obstruct the voice which ever invites you to hear Him who is our peace. England cannot abandon you without sacrificing tier Protestantism, and forsaking her Go'l. " RODEN, Chairman." John Bowes, Esq , M.P., has been appointed grand master of the Freemasons of the province of Durham. John Barnehy, Esq., M.P., has resigned the chair manship of the Herefordshire quarter sessions, in consequence of his health not permitting him longer to discharge the duties of that office. The Duke of Sutherland, Marquis of Stafford, Mr. Loch, &c , left Dunrobin on Wednesday last for Loch inver, where they intend to spend a week at the Duke's beautiful house of Lochinver. Few spots in the north could be selected of such an agreeable nature. The house stands majestically on the banks of the loch, surrounded by towering hills of the most picturesque appearance. In time of storms from the west, the rolling of the waves is grand to behold, and in time of fine weather the whole scenery is delightful. —Russ-shire Adrertistr. PUBLIC DINNER TO MR. HUDSON.—The public dinner in hononr of Mr. Hudson's return for Sunderland was to take place on Tuesday, in the Polytechnic Hall of the Atheneum, in that town. Preparations on an extensive scale had been made for some days previously, and it is said that not less than 400/. has been expended in fitting up and ornamenting the building. The room, which is the largest in the borough, will not accommodate the number who have applied for tickets, although the price is one guinea each. The tickets were sold on Monday, at a premium of 1/., and as high as 1/. lOs. Mr. J. J. Wright, Mr. Hudson's most in fluential supporter at the election, is to preside, and Mr. R. Sporr, his seconder at the nomination, is .to take the vice - chair. Among the speakers will be Lord Seaham, Mr. M. Bell. M.P., Sir John Lowther, M.P., Mr. Hodgson Hinde, M.P., the Rev. Dr. Townsend, canon of Durham, and several local gentlemen, whose names are as yet unknown to fame. The list of toasts includes the healths of the Duke of Wel lington, Sir Robert Peel, and her Majesty's Ministers, Mr. Hinde, and the Conservatives of. Newcastle; Mr. Bell, and the Conservatives of Northumberland, with others of a like description. The ball is to take place on the following even ing, at which the Marchioness of Londonderry is expected to be present. Mr. Hudson and her Ladyship will probably lead off the ball. A sumptuous supper will be served at twelve o'clock. The Hon. Member is a guest of Mr. C. Bramwell, of Hendon House. THE LATE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSIIIP.-A committee in behalf of Bendigo has been formed to raise a suiscription to defend the action now pending between Caunt and the stakeholder. THE LATE ACCIDENT IN THE ROYAL ARSENAL The Board of Ordnance have ordered that the son of the late Michael Purcell, who lost his life by the late explosion in the Royal Laboratory department of the Royal Arsenal, shall be entered as a boy ' in the storekeeper's department, at a salary of six shillings a week. The Board, however, do not re quire that he shall attend work until he is fourteen years of age. Ile is now only ten years of age, and is at present under the care of Mr. P. Fogarty, landlord of the Duchess of Wellington, Green's-end, by whom he will be placed in the Roman Catholic school, at Somers Town. No communica tion has been yet received from the Lords of the Treasury relative to the allowance to the widows and families of the other unfortunate men, so that the paragraph which appeared in some of the morning papers, a few days since, is altogether false.

IRELAND. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. Dusr.rg, OCT. 20.—The weekly meeting of the Association held to-day was very much crowded. Mr. O'Connell entered the hall at one o'clock, and was received with the warmest de.nonstrations of applause. Joseph Henry Dunne, Esq., was called to the chair. The SECRETARY read the minutes of the last day's pro ceedings, after which he proceeded to read the following let ters from Lords Clanricarde and Morpeth " Portumna, Oct. 14, 1845. " Sir,—l have had the honour to receive your letters, and the volume of essays, upon the question of a Repeal of the Union to which it referred, and I have to express my thanks to the Repeal Association for their kindness in presenting me with this book, which appears to contain much useful and interesting information.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient, humble servant, T. M. Ray, Esq." - " CLANRICARDE." " Castle Howard, Oct. 16, 1845. Sir, —I beg to return you my best thanks for the hand some copy of the Repeal Prize Essays, which you have so obligingly forwarded to me on the part of the Loyal National Repeal Association of Ireland.—" I have the honour to be, Sir, your very humble servant, " T. M. Ray, Esq." " ➢MORPETH." Air. O'CoNiLL said that out of respect to the noblemen whose letters had been just read, he would move that tdey be inserted on the minutes. The motion was carried unanimously. Mr. O'CONNELL read a letter from the Very Rev. Dean Burke. He had great pleasure in moving that this letter be inserted on the minutes. The sentiments of the Very Rev. Dean Burke were likely to be re-echoed by the youth of Tipperary, and he (Mr. O'Connell) did not fancy that a single one of them would resort to those colleges if they were constructed, and it was quite clear that they would not be constructed, w less,. indeed, they were forced on by some of the venerated Catholic prelacy of Ireland. It would be a fearful thing in Ireland if the people were told that when nineteen of their prelates had declared that a certain publiv measure was dangerous to faith and morals, that any one prelate should call on the people to disregard their advice and to listen to him alone. He trusted that such an unhappy day was not in store for Ireland, and that all the Catholic prelates having declared unanimously against the Colleges Bill, and nineteen of them having reiterated their disappro bation of that measure, the people of Ireland would not be called upon to disregard their guides, and the rdvice of a majority of the Catholic prelates on a subject of so important a nature connected .with the interests of their religion (Chee: s.) - The motion was seconded and passed unanimously. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that, on the nealt, day of meeting, he would bring before the notice of the Association the subject of the Infidel Colleges Bill—in the absence of the question of " mixed education," upon which there was some difference of opinion—in order to obtain an expression of the opinion of the Association with respect to it. Mr. O'CONNELL brought. before the attention of the Association the differences at present existing amongst the Repealers of the towns of Limerick, Louglirea Sligo, and Waterford. It was deplorable, in his opinion, to think that domestic division, to which was to be attributed the manifold evils of the country, was_ again springing up. Let the people recollect that it was by union they compelled the Alinistry, which declared that " Concession to Ireland had reach its limits," to withdraw that declaration, and to announce that they were prepared to concede anything short of the repeal of the union. It was his intention to proceed to Waterford, for the purpose of adjusting, if pos sible, the differences existing in that city; and he trusted that, with the assistanct of the Right Rev. Dr. Torau, Sir Benjamin Wall, and other influential persons, to be able to effect this desirable object. Whilst in Waterford he would not accept of any public compliment, but would confine him self solely to the object of his mission—the endeavour to bring about a reconciliation among the Repealers of that city. Mr. O'Connell expressed Isis astonishment that the Government had made Lord Rosse a visitor of Maynooth, and alluded to the opinions which that nobleman expressed with respect to the moral and religious character of the Irish people, at a meeting of magistrates on the occasion of the murder of the late Lord Norbury. On that occasion several Catholic clergymen attempted to address the meeting, but were instantly stopped by Lord Ross, who said that no per. son except a magistrate should be allowed to address the meeting. That of course shut the mouth of the Catholic clergymen, and Lord Ross made a speech declaring that the Irish people were worse than the Turks and the Arabs, and that the Catholic clergy were culpable for many oft.he crimes which were committed by their flocks.—(Hear.) And yet that was the man who was made a visitor of the Catholic College of Maynooth. If Lord Ross really believed what he asserted about the Catholic priesthood, why did he consent to become visitor to a college where such men as the priest hood of Ireland were educated ?—(Hear, hear.) But he knew, at the time he made those assertions, that he was uttering a base falsehood and calumny against the people of Ireland and their revered clergy. He would not dilate further on that subject. but would merely move the insertion on the minutes of the passages he had read from Lord Ross's speech, for the purposes of reference, if necessary. The motion was carried. Mr. O'CONNELL observed that a Committee of the Fine Arts had been appointed to inquire what statues it would be proper to have placed in the new Houses of Parliament. They had recommended that one should be erected to Ste phen Langton, the Catholic Primate of England, who said mass for the assembled Barons on the morning of the day they compelled King John to sign Magna (Marta ; but they refused one to the Archbishop of Dublin, because his see was not in England.—(Laughter.) They also refused one to Thomas a Beckett, the man who protected the liberties of England from the tyranny of King Henry 11., and at whose shrine one hundred thousand Englishmen assembled in homage, because they regarded him as the protector of their liberties. But this Committee of the Fine Arts had re solved on giving a statue to Cromwell and General Monk. Why, they might as well erect a statue to Judas as General Monk. Indeed, they only wanted a third to make the trio complete—they should have added the devil, and then the group would be perfect by the presence of their master.—(Laughter.)- lie (Mr. O'Connell) considered that they might have spare,' Ireland the insult of erecting a sta tue to such a man as Cromwell, and yet the Morning Chro nicle, the organ of the Whip, had been the chief instigator of that statue to Cromwell. If they were to have a statue to Cromwell at the other side of the water, they would have representations of his deeds on this. They would have paint ings representing his deeds of blood at Drogheda, Wexford, and other places. Ile had been accused by the vile portion of the London press with fabricating these enormities, but he would prove to them front undoubted authorities that what he asserted was true. The Hon. Gentleman then read ex tracts from Carte Lingard, and the Parliamentary Register, dated October, 1649, which stated that public thanks had been returned to the Protector for his services in Ireland. It would be a subject for consideration whether these pictures, when painted, should not be exhibited somewhere in the neighbourhood of Westminster. And if the plan were ap proved of, he would undertake to procure a prominent place for their exhibition. Mr. O'CossEu, again addressed the meeting, and said, that as he had so often addressed them upon matters of de tail, he would confine himself on the present occasion to two or three topics. The first of these was the feeling of exultation which he felt at the three magnificent repeal de monstrations at Which lie had lately been present. The first of these demonstrations took place in Kerry, and he could confidently assert that 15,000 persons attended that meeting to record their unalterable attachment to the cause of re peal, and to express their intention never to desist in their exertions until their country was once more a nation.— (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Hitherto the county of Kerry had been rather backward in advocating repeal, and it was not much to be wondered at, when it was considered that the proprietors of the land in that county were for the most part opposed to repeal ; but the late demonstration in Kerry afforded ample proof that the spirit of nationality ex- - isted as strongly in that county as in other parts of Ire land.—(Cheers.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then alluded to the monster meetings which were held in Castle bar and Sligo, and expressed himself delighted with the spirit which was displayed at them. He then proceeded to say that he considered it advisable that no more monster meetings should be held until after the.next session of Parlia ment, but that the atfi ntion and the energies of the people should be directed to the registries, and also to the prepara tion of petitions for repeal to he laid before the British Par liament. The registries were peculiarly important at the present period, and the return of sixty or seventy repeal Members to Parliament would be most important in facili tating the achievement of repeal. No statesman could resist the demands of sixty or seventy Members of Parliament, backed by the entire Irish nation, and the declaration of the late Earl Spencer, that if the entire Irish people demanded repeal it must be granted to them, went far to corroborate his (Mr. O'Connell's) assertion. The Hon. and Learned Gen tleman, after some further observations, in the course of which he inculcated peace, perseverance, and an abstinence from secret societies on the part of the peorle, sat down amidst loud cheers. Mr. O'CONNELL, announced the repeal rent for the week to be 3771. ss. 2d., and a vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman, the meeting separated. HALIFAX AND HULL DIRECT RAILWAY, AND HULL, GOOLE, GRIMBSBY, AND YORK, AND NORTH MIDLAND GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY. The Provisional Committee of this line of railway held their first general meeting at the Normanton Hotel, near Wakefield, on Monday ; a large number of gentlemen at tended. _NORTON Esq., presidcd, and in a speech of conside ra bl e length and ability explained the objects the company had in view,. which were to furnish Halifax and the densely popu lated and improving manufacturing towns and villages in its neighbourhood, with a direct and convenient outlet towards York, Selby, Hull, Goole, Grimsby, and the east, and in conjunction with the 'West Riding Junction, the Liverpool and Leeds and other projected railways, to form the most direct communication, as well between the great ports of Liverpool and Hull as between the great mumfacturing districts of the west and the agricultural districts of the east. The reports of the surveyors employed on the line having been received, the meeting unanimously determined that application should be made to Parliament in the ensuing session; the various speakers expressing their conviction that the project would not only;be favourably received by the noble and other landed proprietors through whose land the proposed line would pass, but also by the public generally, and that it would eventually receive the fanction of Par liament. The executive committee and other officers having been appointed, and a vote of thanks passed to the chairman, the meeting separated. I SHIPWRECK OF THE MARY FROM SYDNEY.— LIVERPOOL, Mom)Ar.—By the arrival here to-day of the Bucephalus, Captain Small, from Bombay, we learn the total loss of the above vessel, and seventeen of her unfortunate passengers, women and children. The Mary left Sydney, New South Wales, on the 19th May, and all went on well until the 24th., when the vessel, about midnight, struck on a reef in Bass's Straits, and immediately went to pieces; the passengers and crew, with the above exceptions, Paving themselves with much difficulty, and ultimately reached Flinder's Island in safety, whence they were conveyed to Launceston, New South Wales. Capt. Collins, a passenger, has written # long narrative to one of the Sydney papers, in which he deprecates in strong terms the unseaworthy state of the vessel, as it appears she began to leak shortly after leaving Sydney ; he also says, that from th e s t r iki ng o f t h e ship to her parting and going down, only seven minutes elapsed.. We subjoin a list of passengers saved and lost : Saved : Captain Collins, 13th Light Dragoons; Mrs. Collins, Miss Elizabeth Collins, Miss Emma Collins, Miss Strathallen Collins, Sarah Sarson, Mrs. Newby, Mr. Reeves, Mrs. Ree ves , Mrs. Stanbury, Mrs. Evan s , Mr. IletTertnan, Mrs. Hefferman, Stephen Dwyer, Mr. Thomas Newman, Mr. James Abbott, Mr. J. Jones, Mr. Joseph Wilkinson, Mr. Heather, Master Arthur Heather, Michael Nicholson, George Hempson, Pa trick Gardiner, and all the crew. Lost: Mrs. Heather, and two children, Mrs. Grey, Mrs. Turnbull, two daughters of Captain Collins, three daughters of Captain Newby, Sarah I'owkes, and six children th eo Indian, Mrs. Evans.bound from The Launceston Bucephalus received her report from Ist.

PORTSMOUTH, Orr. 21..—This being the 40th anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar, the Victory, 104, Captain G. Mou bray, was dressed in wreaths to commemorate the event. Gar lands capped the jack staff, main, fore, and mizen trucks, and the ensign staff, the " main brace" was spliced," and mirth and jollity prevailed on board. Captain Moubray was at the battle of Trafalgar senior lieutenant of,the Polyphemus, and gave a dinner to a select (party of officers on board the Victory, some of whom had I shared with him the honours of that ever-memorable day. The memory of the departed hero was drunk in silence. The officers' wives and relatives were invited, and a ball ter minated the festivities of the day. The St. Vincent, 120, Captain Rowley, late flag-ship of the experimental squadron, returned to Spithead this morn ing, where she brought up and saluted the flag of the Com mander-in-Chief. The St. Vincent's term of commission having nearly expired, she will be paid off and re-commis sioned by Captain Sir Richard Grant, Flag-Captain to Sir Charles Ogle. It is expected, however, that ultimately one of the new 120 gun ships at this port will carry the chief flag, and the St. Vincent take the place of the Victory as ordinary guardahip. Her performances in the late trial sailings have caused considerable surprise, as upon the cruise last year with the Caledonia, Queen, and Albion, she did wonders in beating, by " long eha'ks," Irtr competitors, and that under circumstances of every disadvantage, and most particularly that drawback to every ship's spee.l, a very foul bottom. How it is she has behaved so differently in the late trials is therefore perplexing, as she underwent an entire refit below and aloft. The Varguard, 80, Captain Willes, has completed the re pair of detects, and is re-trimming in the basin. It is ex pected she will not leave this port before Friday. The President, 50, Captain Stanley, flag of Rear-Admiral Dacres, appointed to succeed Rear-Admiral the Hon. J. Percy in the command-in-chief on the Cape station, begins to look very handsome. She is painted, and will bend sails in a few days. The Trafalgar, 120, Captain Martin, arrived this morning s)on after the St. Vincent•. She proceeds to the bore as flag ship of Vice-Admiral Sir E. I). King, Commander-in-Chief. The Kingfisher, 12, Commander Brown, is nearly ready for sea. She will bend sails in a day or two, and drop out to Spithearl, whence she proceeds to the coast of Af, ica. The Hecate steam-soap, Commander West, was spoken with 15th August, on the Line, cruising in long 10 W. The Nautilus, to, Lieutenant-Commander M‘Donnell, is or dered t.) be docked, to repair some damages to her rudder, &c. PLYMOUTH, Ocr. 20.—her Majesty's steamer Rattler ar rived here during the night from Portsmouth. Yesterday Rear• Admiral Sir S. Pym, G.C.8., struck his flag (red at the mizen) as Admiral of the Fleet, on board her Majesty's ship St. Vinceht, 120, Captain R. F. Rowley. This morning Admiral Sir John West hoisted his flag (blue at the main) as Port• Admiral, on board her Majesty's ship Queen, 110, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker. At nine in the forenoon the red flag, fur unloading gunpowder, was hoisted on board the same ship. At ten o'clock her Majesty's ship St. Vincent got under weigh in the Sound, and with three topsails and foresail sailed through the Esstern Channel outside. She hove to at the back of the brelkwater, where she was signalled by her Majesty's ship Trafalgar, 120, Captain Martin. At twelve, with a fresh northwester, she bore away for the eastward. At two o'clock the Trafalgar weighed anchor, and also sailed to the eastward ; her destination is supposed to be Portsmouth. The two-deckers, Canopus, 84, Captain Moresby, C. 8., Albion, 92, Captain N. Lockyer, Rodney, 92, Captain Col liar, and Superb, 80, Captain Corry, will shortly go to sea for a six weeks' cruise, and will most likely visit the Me diterranean. Captain Moresby, of the Canopus, is appointed Commodore. • TIDAL HAR !SOUR COMMMISSION LANCASTER. The first place visited in England was Lancaster, at which town Mr. Godson M.P., and Captain Washington, R.N., two of the Commissioners, sat on Monday last. The meeting was held in the Borough Court, and was very numerously attended by the inhabitants. The examinations continued from 10 o'clock in the morn ing until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The inquiry embraced two objects: first, the improvement of the port; and se condly, the best mode of expending the 10,00 W. paid by the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway Company for leave from the Admiralty to place the piers of their bridge near the town in the bed of the river. Mr. Walker, Secretary to the Quay Commissioners, who are the conservators of the river; Mr. John Brockbank, a shipowner • Mr. E. Dawson, a land p ro p r i e t or; D r . J ames Johnson; MI.. Richard Gerrard, a pilot; and Mr. Alexander Kennedy, master of the steam-vessel trading between Liver pool and Lancaster, were examined on the first point. We have not room for the details. It may be suffi cient to state, that it transpired that th e conservators are 17, and have but one person amongst them who ever sailed a vessel ; that they never attempt e d t o i mprove t h e navigation of te river except by having a surrey made by Mr. Stevenson, whose highest estimate was 15,00 C/, and lowest 7,000/., upon which they never acted ; that they receive about 1,230/. a year„ but are of course in debt, which has been reduced to 4,000/. ; that the river Lune might be improved, as Mr. Stevenson had recommended, so as to make it two feet deeper all the way from the sea to the quay below the railway bridge ; that the freshes in the river are very great, but that they are impeded by weirs, &c ; that several lights and many buoys are wanted and that a dredging-machine is absolutely necessary. On the second point there was a great diversity of opinion, Mr. T. Higgin insisting that the 10,0001. should be laid out in dredging the river ; Mr. E. Sharpe, in impounding the river, so as to make a basin in it for the ships, to be brought from the pro jected dock atPoulton by a ship canal, to lie in. Several pro jects were also brought to the notice of the Commissioners :-1. Adock at Poulton, in Morecombe Bay, with a ship canal of three miles to Lancaster quays. 2. A dock at Thorn Bush, at the entrance of the Lune, with a railway to the Lancaster and Preston Railway. 3. A railway from Fleetwood to Lan caster. 4. A railway from Yorkshire, called the North- Western Railway. 5. A railway from Newcastle to Lan caster ; and 6, toe York and L ancaster R a il way . I t seems that the railway speculators, having - monopolised the carry ing trade on land, are determined now to seize upon the ports, and destroy the coasting trade. Irrespective of all rail way speculations, we think that the Lords of the Admiralty are likely to expend the 10,000/. in buying a dredging ma chine, and employing it according to Mr. Stevenson's plan. and in placing lights, beacons, and buoys in the Grange Channel of Morecombe Bay and in the parts adjacent, and after that is done, it is to be hoped that the conservators of the river will keep the river in that improved state. FLEETWOOD. The two Commissioners vi-ited this port, which is a sub port under Preston, on the 14th of October, and examined 3lr. S. Burridge, the receiver of the dues ; Mr. Head, the haabour-master ; Mr. S. P. Bidder, the resident engineer ; Mr. Robert Gerrard, a pilot ; Mr. A. M‘Neiledge ' the master of a steam-vessel tr a di ng b e t ween B e lf ast and Fleetwood ; and Mr. Kemp, the secretary to the Cimnpany. It appeared that the port is under the management of the Preston and Fleetwood Railway Company ; that a dividend is now paid out of the combined profits of the railway and the port; that the river Wyre is constantly dredged, and that there will be ten feet of water from the lighthouse to the wharf; that the Wyre lighthouse, built on Mitchell's screw piles, is not only of the greatest benefit to this port, but to Lancaster and to all mariners passing along the coast; that the wharfs are very commodious, having thirteen cranes upon them ; and that a dock is about to be built. It seems that this port cannot be made fit at all times for the entrance of sailing vessels, the channel being only 200 feet wide at ordinary low spring tides, but there are two steam tugs kept to assist them. There were complaints of the Walney light, which takes more time (five minutes in the revolution) than any other light in the kingdom ; also that another beacon and some more buoys are wanted. The dues paid are remarkably low, and there is no difference in the dues levied on foreign and home vessels. A vessel can be brought into the Wyre one hour and a half sooner than into the Lune. There are several projects for railways. One from Fleei wold to Lancaster, and another from Knot-end to Clithero with a direct line to Leecs. Oa the whole, this new port gives great promise of being a very excellent sttatn-vessel harbour. HOP INTELLIGENCE. (From the Maidstone Journal.) MAIDSTONE.—Hppping has now almost universally finished. The yield of Mid-Kent is decidedly short, while the Weald and Sussex have not not much to boast cf. On the hill the average is about six cw t. per acre, below from eight to ten. The quality is much better than was expected, there being more condition in the sample than was at one time considered possible. A correspondent, speaking of the Yalding district, says :-- " The Goldings came down very short; many grounds set at from four to five bags per acre yielding only two. I think at the end of hopping I never knew the growth in this neigh bourhood fall so short, or so much disappoint the planters, both as to grape and golding. Some , grounds are really not worth picking. The quality i s goo d . ' WETHILL HOP FAlR.—Waggons loaded with hops con tinued to arrive on the hill until Tuesday morning, from the backwardness of the season it having been impossible for the growers to store their hops in the rows on or before the 12th of Octobtr, which is the last dsy allowed according to ancient une, and consequently an extension of time was unnecessarily conceded. The hop fair commenced on Mon day, when the town of Andover was thronged with visitors from all parts of the kingdom. Upon the samples of hops being drawn, parties appeared anxious to know the quality, and we are pleased to learn the condition was found much better than was anticipated, although the crop falls very short of previous expectation. One grower in the Farnham row, who last year sold hops which produced 2,00 CL, has rot grown a pocket this year. Business commenced early on Monday —a rather unusual circumstances,' as buyers usually occupy the first day in taking a general view of all the hops previous to making purchases. Owing to the late arrivals, the number of pocketscould not be ascertained on Monday, but on the following day they were found to be as under : In the Farnham-row, 1,500; country ditto 2,000; being about 2,090 pockets less than last year. From a general expecta— tion that prices would advance, buyers were rather anxious to do business without delay, and very satisfactory prices were obtained, Farnhani hops selling very freely at from 10/. to 10 guineas, and country hops obtained 91. to 10/. Kents were offered at el. Bs. to 91. On Tuesday morning the trade in hops still continued britk, and prices stationary, holders being firm and unwilling to take less prices. Considerable business was done this day upon nearly similar rates to the day preceding, and very many pockets remained unsold. COURSE OF EXCHA.

The engraving has been made by Freebairn (by means of Bates's patent Anaglyptograph), from the ori ginal model for the medal by Wynn. It is dedicated to the Agricultural Society and the Smithfield Clnb. The likeness is excellent—not a mere lifeless fac-simile of the features— but a characteristic portrait, mirroring, as it were, the mind. As a work of art, too, this portrait is exceedingly beautiful. It is perhaps the most perfect specimen of medallic engraving that haci been yet given to the public. SURREY SESSIONS. (Before Mr. PUCKLE, and a full Bench of Magistrates.) THE LATE Pic-sac TRIP TO NORWOOD.—On Tuesday, Mrs. Rosetta Ann Robinson, who had falsely represented her self to be the wife of a barrister of that name, and who was described in the calendar to be tw e nty ye ar s o f age, was placed upon her trial upon a bill of indictment charging her with feloniously stealing two yards of satin, of the value of seven shillings, the property of Mr. William Mabley, the proprietor of the king's-head Inn, at .Norwood. The prisoner, who was elegai;tly dressed, upon being placed in the felon's dock appeared exce ss ively aff ec t e d, and during her trial was seized with such violent fits of hyste rics that it required the united exertions of three of the prison-keepers, and two of the female attendants, to control her. Her screams and sufferings were .of a painful character, and caused a deep sympathy in the Court. Mr. Lilly was engaged for the prosecution, and Mr. Bagley for the defer.ce. The former gentleman stated the case to the jury, the brief facts of which were these : On Wednesday afternoon, the Bth instant, the prisoner and two others set out from her residence in Gloucester street, Queen -square, the former mounted on a pony and the two latter in a gig. On leaching Blackfriars-bridge the pony tumbled down with the prison er , an d was so i n j ure d that they put it up to livery at the Horse and Leaping Bar, in the Blackfriars-road. The prisoner being a good deal alarmed and shaken by the fall, called for a bottle of sherry at the Horse and Leaping Bar Tavern, and she and her friends :lav ing tinishrd its conb.nts, started far Norwood in a gig. On arriving at the King's head Inn, they desired the ostler to put up their horse, and requested to be shown into a private room. This was done by the chambermaid, and they called for half a pint of gin. They remained there for three quarters of an hour, when they left, as they said, to have their fortunes told by a well-known gipsy in that neighbourhood. On return ing to the house they were shown into the ordinary parlour on the ground floor, when they called for a second half pint of gin. Some time after, Mrs. 11Iabley, the landlady, fancied site heard some noise on the stairs, and immediately after ob served tie prisoner come down stairs and go out of the front door. She suspected all was not right, and instantly rushed up stairs, when she missed from the drawers in her bed-room. four pieces of satin which she had placed there that morning. with a pi:ce of paper over them. On making this discovery, Mrs. Mabley sent her pot-boy first, and then her daughter, to bring the prix oner back, and upon being told the landlady wished to speak to htr, she threw the pieces of satin into the ditch. On her return to the inn she was met by a policeman, who accused - her with stealing the pieces of satin, and her reply was, that if she stole it she must have been dreaming at the time. Mr. BAGLEY, after cross-examining the witnesses at some length, addressed the jury on 'behalf of the prisoner, with much point and feeling. He described his client as a mem ber of a highly respectable family, said she had up to the present unfortunate transaction borne a most unimpeach able character for honour and. honesty, and added that her means had placed her fir beyond the temptation of stealing the paltry articles charged in the indictment, which was valued at seven shillings, but which he (the Learned Counsel) did not think worth half that sum. The question before the jury, and that on which they had to give their verdict, was this—Had the prisoner taken the paltry pieces of stuff with the felonious intention of applying it to her own use? At the conclusion of his address the Learned Gen tleman called several witnesses who gave the prisoner an excellent character. Mr. LILLY replied to their evidence, after which, The Ch AIRMAN summed up the case, and th e jury, after a consultation of ten minutes, returned a verdict of Guilty, with a strong recommendation to the merciful consideration of the Court. Mr. BAGLEY hoped the Court, in pronouncing judgment, would take into its consideration the fact of his unfortunate client having already been three weeks in prison. The CHAIRMAN sentenced the prisoner to 28 days solitary confinement in Horsemonger-lane Gaol, and the unfortunate woman was carried away in a very exhausted state. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. John Knight, who formerly carried on business as a tobacconist in Palace-row, New- road, appeared to an er the charge of obtaining some goods fraudulently from Mr. Crowder, an importer of tobacconists' fancy goods in Cripple g ate. Mr. Justins ((rom Mr. Flobler's office) conducted the prosecution, and a solicitor attended also for the defendan t. Mr. Crowder stated that in May, 1844, the prisoner, who was then 301. in his debt, applied for some snuff boxes, as he was going to receive a legacy of 300/, and wished to present the executor with a handsome box. Mr. Crowder told him he could not all nv him to increase the debt. The prisoner, however, persuaded him to let him have a doz?n boxes, one to be kept, and the rest returned that evening or the next morning. The defend ant kept the whole, and left his pretni. , ,e. The solicitor for the prisoner produced an invoice which complainant delivered with the goods, in which he was credited with the value of the whole, with no intimation that they were delivered un approbation, or simp'y for inspection. S tme similar invoices where the goods had been sold were produced. Mr. Alderman fro D thlu,g`at this paper was inc ,n -sistent with the testimony of a coaditional sale, and dis missed the case. HOLBORN PETTY SESSIONS. (Before Messrs. WHISKEN (Chairman), POWNALL, and P. DIXON.) APPLICATION OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF WOODS AND FORESTS FORA LICENSE.-At these sessions for the Holborn division, held yesterday before the above magistrates, at the Holborn Union Workhouse, Little Gray's Inn-lane, after the ordinary business of transferring licenses was dispos e d o f, M r . P e nnethorn, solicitor for the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, attended on their behalf, to make application for a -license, which they were desirous of obtaining, for one of the houses which had been erected in St. Giles's, near the new line c f street between Oxford-street and Holborn. The clerk of the magistrates read a letter, dated the 9th of October, 1845, signed by Mr. Mills, one of the Commis sioners, and which was addressed to the chairman. In that it was stated that the Commissioners were about to dispose of, by lease or sale, a house at the corner of George -street and )3road-street, St. Giles's, to be called " George the Fourth," for which they requested the magistrates would grant a license. They also wished for one in favour of the Buckeridge Arms, which was then standing (this not having been pulled down for the improvements). The CHAIRMAN observed, that several licensed houses had been removed to form the new street, for which the proprie tors had given heavy premiums, and for which the Commis sioners had given very large sums to get possession of. The Commissioners lied selected certain houses that they wished to be licensed. The question, therefore, was, how fir they (the magistrates) could pledge themselves in the event of the homes being sold. Mr. FOWNALL remarked that they could not deviate from the general practice, and that the magistrates could not do that for a public body which they would not do for an indi vidual. It would also, he thought, be contrary to the Act of Parliament. Mr. Pennethorn said that the Commissioners would only ask them to grant a I:cense to a respectable person, and that they wanted to put the house up to public competition. They have bought sixteen public-houses in that locality, at an enormous sum of money. The CHAIRMAN stated that there were ninety-six magis trates, and that the magistrates present could not answer for the opinions of their brother magistrates on licensing clay. Mr. PowNALL said he would decline giving any opinion, and that the utmost lueouvenience the Commissioners would suffer, would be to wait till the licensing day in March. Mr. Pennethorn stated that when advertising the house, the Commissioners only wanted permission to state that the magistrates would grant a license for it, and that they con sidered the Commissioners had a prior claim. The CHAIRMAN stated that they could only pursue the usual course. Let a respectable per:-on attend for the license, and they would consider the application. With respect to the Buckeridge Arms, that was already licensed, and had only to be transferred. In answer to questions, Mr. Pennethorn said that the Com missioners had lost 160,0001. by the improvements, and a por tion of which they sought to recover in the mide of his pre sent application; that the ground on the north-side of the new street was let at three and a half guineas per foot, and on the south-side at 31. per foot; as the area was of greater depth, and that it was not intended to remove the remainder of the " rookery." RICHNIOND RAILWAY COMPANY Yesterday Mr. Chapman, the solicitor to the Railway Company, attended at Wandsworth Police-court to answer a summons which had been issued against the promoters of the said railway, charging them, on the complaint of Richard Beckett, with " having unlawfully and wilfully entered upon and taken possession of a parcel of land, of the length of 108 yards, and the breadth of 44 yards, situate near Frying-pan Meadow, id' the parish of Wandsworth, and in the possession of the said Richard Beckett, and required to be purchased and permanently used for the purposes of the Richmond Railway, without lawful consent, and without having made lawful payment for the benefit of the parties interested in the said land, and without having made a deposit by way of lawful security ; and have done damage to the said land by reason of such entry and taking possession as aforesaid, to the amount of 501." Mr. Chapman, on behalf of the Company, pleaded not guilty. Mr. Wright, a solicitor, appeared for Mr. Beckett, and called upon Mr. Knill, the contractor, whom he bad sum moned to produce the plan of the Richmond Railway. Mr. Henry Knill was then sworn, and produced what he said was a plan of the railway. Mr. Chapman said it was with great reluctance that the promoters appeared before the magistrate in a case of com pensation, fur it was their wish to make handsome amends to all whose property they interfered with; but in this case they considered an attempt at imposition had been made by the complainant, for whilst the company gave Earl Spencer only 80/. for the fee simple of the land in question, the com plainant, who was only a yearly tenant, wanted the large sum of 2051. They had offered good terms, indeed double what he could have obtained any other way, and he refused to accept of the offer; consequently the Company were de termined to resist his demand and defend themselves against the charge of trespass. He contended that they had kept strictly within the limits of the power given them by the Lauds' elaus_S Act. They had paid 2051. into the Bank of England, and had given a bond under the Company's seal to Mr. Beckett. Evidence was then given at great length, but the points of the case are sufficiently indicated in the magistrate's de cision. Mr. Clive here observed that he would go and personally inspect the place, and he left the court for that purpose. Mr. Clive, on . his return said, with regard to the first ob- jection, he could not sea that the 84th section of the Lands Clauses Net permitted them to go on lands even for the pur pose of surveying unless they gave three days' notice, and th!s they hatinoi done. Mr. Chapman said the consent of the occupier had been asked. Mr. Clive—Yes, and refused ; but he was merely told that you were going on. You shoud have given him a formal notice in writing. With respect to the argument that the complainant was still in poisession, he considered that the company's Acts Proved that they consider themselves the owners of the property. From what he bad seen he was clearly of opinion that more trees had been cut down than were required to obtain a centre line; and with regard to the culvert, it was ly no means what it had been represented ; it was a wide cut directly across the land. With respect to the third objection, that of having paid the money into the Bank of -England, and so by that; means getting rid of the penalties, he was of opinion that the 85th section of the Lands Clauses Act, taken in connexion with the 84th section, and to that section it most certainly referred, only freed them from any penalties provided the money was paid or deposited prior to entering upon the land. There fore, taking all the circumstances into consideration, and after carefully reviewing the evidence, and maturely consi dering the various clauses of the different Acts, he was bound to say that he considered that the complainant had proved his case. He should therefore order the company to pay the amount of damage, 3s. each for twenty. four trees, as these were all that hai been spoken to positively. Then came the question of the penalty; he had power to mitigate it, under the Police Act, to any extent he liked, and as the money had been paid into the bank, he should only inflict a nomi nal one of is. and the costs, the amount of which the com . v acquainted plainant's attorney would doubtless make them with. Mr. Chapman said the company considered the case of so much importance, _especi2lly in reference to certain clauses, that they had instructed him to appeal in the event of a con viction. Heat the same time would tender the thanks of the company to the magistrate for the very candid and careful mannerin which he had conducted the inquiry. Notice of appeal will be given in a few days. THE ROBBERY AT ROCHESTER. Louis . Aarons and Barnett Aarons, brothers, who were remanded on suspicion of committing a robbery in Bank notes and gold to the amount of upwards of 220/. at the Three Post Boys, High-street, Rochester, underwent an examination on Saturday before the Mayor, Edmund Buck, Esq., and six borough magistrates. The prisoners were professionally assisted by Mr. Pelham, of Aubour-square, Commercial-road East. The first witness examined was the niece of the landlady, named Harriet Watts, who deposed that the two prisoners came to the house together on Monday morning, the 13th instant, and inquired of her it they could be accommodated with a bed-room. Finding they could they went into the parlour and ordered break fast. They had two carpet. bags with them and two pic tures. Both prisoners slept that night together, and bad their property in the room with them. The next morning, after taking their breakfast, they went out, and returned again between four and live o'clock in the afternoon, and ordered tea. She then went to her aunt's bedroom at the top of the stairs. The door was locked and 'the key in it. After she had changed her dress she came down stairs about six o'clock, leaving the key in the door, and took her tea in the bar. She went again to the same room • the door was shut and the key out of the d oor . Sh e called to the miervant to ask her aunt for the key, and, finding that her aunt had not got it, she came down stairs to'the bar to look for it, but could not find it. She returned again 4nd found the bedroom door open, and the key lying inside the room on the floor. A drawer was open of a chest of drawers ; the papers were lying on the top, and a work-box and tea-caddy were re moved and thrown on the bed. She immediately alarmed her aunt, who came up stairs. Her aunt's bedroom is on the same floor of the room occupied by the prisoners. After she had given the alarm, and told the ostler to go to the station houce, she went into the bar and found the two, prisoners there sitting. Some other persons wt re also there. Alexander Beattie, an artist, and who has been lodging in the house for the last three months, said that about seven o'clock on Tuesday evening, as he was sitting in his loom, adjoining the landlady's, writing a letter, he was suddenly interrupted by a rumbling noise as if persons were moving the furniture about. He then, after a few minutes, heard footsteps cross by his door and enter a room opposite to his, which he knew the two prisoners to be occupying; and when the alarm of the robbery was given the two prisoners came as if from their room into his and sat down on his bed, and one of the two observed that he was sorry to hear of what had occurred, and that he would not have had it happened for any money. The prisoners having left his room he went down stairs, and found the prisoners in the bar. He left the house then, and returned again about half-past eleven o'clock, and both the prisoners were gone. Mary Kennard, servant at the Three Post-boys, saw the two prisoners at tea about six o'clock in the evening of the robbery. She suddenly missed them, and saw no more of them until after the alarm was given, and then saw a man, with dark whiskets and a light coat on, standing at the bottom of time stairs leading to the bed-room. Mr. Tuff, the superintendent, said he could not carry the case any further. On searching the prisoners, he found on one of them a bunch of keys, and one key in the bunch un locked the drawer. The pocket-book found in the back yard, which had been dropped by the thieves, was found to contain 18/. in bank-notes. It was evident that there was a receiver standing ready to receive the property, and left by the back yard into a lane that leads into the main street. The MAYOR, after consulting with his brother justices, and , finding that no further evidence could be obtained against the two men, discharged them.

The business trans acted privately in yellow Havannah has been extremely limited, although there are sellersat afurther decline in prices. REFINED.—To-day several parcels of Relined moods were taken by the home trade, in consequence of 64s being ac cepted for brown, and 65s per cwt for standard lumps. The value of bonded crushed Sugar is 35s per cwt, but at which a fair business has been done in the best quality.

QUEEN- SQUA7E. James Taylor, an omM bui-driver, was charged with the following unprovoked assault :—At about three o'clock yesterday afternoon a young man named Harding, who was driving a cart heivily laden through Parliament street, had occasion to stop for a minute, ekfendant, who was immediately behind him—both being close on their proper side—ordered the young man to go on, although there was not the slightest necessity for it, as there was plenty of room for defendant to pass on the off side, and offended at his non compliance with his request, the fellow drove round in front of complainant and whipped him severely. The young man endeavoured to reach defendant with his whip, but was unable, when defend ant suddenly jumped down from his driving box and felled the young man to the ground with a desp rate right-handed blow. A gentleman, who witnessed the transaction, was of opinion th the omnibus driver's c liduct was :So brutal that he felt it his duty to come before the Majstrate on behalf of complainant. Defendant said that when the cart stopped and backed upon his pole, some ladies were getting out of his omni bUs, and were much endangered, as there was another omnibus immediately behind him. It would all have been prevented had the young man gone on as he desired him to do. The chief usher could speak to his good character. The chief usher said he had always considered de fendant a civil, well-conducted man. Mr. PAYNTER (who sat for Mr. Bond) said that there was nothing whatever to justify defendant in committing the assault. He should fine him 505., and in default commit him for a month. GREENWICH: . . . Jan Snasell, a bricklayer, residing at Sydenham, was brought up for final examination, charg e d w ith v i o l at i ng the person of Catherine Porter, aged 15 years, a pretty looking girl, the daughter of John Porter, a gardener, in the employ of Dr. Clutterbuck, of Dartmouth-row, near Sydenham, under the followir g circumstances : Ann Porter deposed that she is the mother of the pro secutrix. On Monday evening, the 29th September, the prisoncr called at the cottage and asked witness to per mit her daughter to accompany him to visit his wife. After some hesitation she consented, and they left for that purpose. Catherine Porter deposed that she went with the pri• soner, and on the way the prisoner l aug h e d an d j o k e d with e n her. Bc k On e hpassing and Sydenham, t h roug the prisoner took h a newly-made ro a d, be tween liberties with her person, and threw h er on t h e b an k . t She fainted away. The details are unfit for publication. On recovering herself she went forwards towards Syden ham, and on reaching the Crooked Billet public-house, she went in, accompanied by the prisoner, who entered the tap-room. Witness went to the bar and acqu a i n t e d the landlidy's niece with the prisoner's conduct, a n d then went home to her father's house. Ann Walton, barmaid and niece to the landlady, de posed that on Monday, the 29th of September, between seven and eight o'clock, the young man and last witness came together. Prisoner went into the tap-room, and afterwards into the club room. The prosecutrix then came to the bar and related what the prisoner's conduct had been towards her. She had nothing to drink, and went away immediately. The prosecutrix made light of it and laughed ; she did not cry. Witness is not ac quainted with the prisoner. Mr. JEREMY cautioned witness, who replied that the girl was not crying and agitated. Henry Roberts, surgeon, deposed that he had exa mined the prosecutrix's person. There was complete evidence of recent connexion. James Jenkins, polieQ-constable, to R; deposed ',bathe apprehended the prisoner on Tuesday, the 30th. Wit ness went with prosecurrix and hf-r mother 0 the bar of the Crooked Billet, and asked Walton, the what prosecutrix had said to her. Walton related the circum.tances, and said prosecutrix cried at the time. Mr. JEREMY asked Walton why she told one story at home, and another at court. Ile much doubted her statement, particularly as she had refused to come for ward unless compelled. Walton said she did not re member telling the police so. The girl seemed excited, and -laughed. Mr. JEREMY said the evidence was very strong agains he prisoner, and committed him fur trial. WOOLWICH. George Cooper and Thomas i'Veavy, two labouring men, were charged with wilfully destroying a sign -board at the house of Mr. Hammond, the landlord of the Navy Arms, Powis-street, Woolwich. It appeared from the evidence of Police-constable Brooks, R 50, and another witness named. Handcock, that on Sunday night, between one and two o'clock, the two prisoners, in company with two others, whose names were unknown, passed them in the street. Shortly after wards Mr. Handcock heard a noise like the breaking of a sign-boar - ', and, seeing no other person near the spot but the prisoners, who he was sure from that circum stance must have committed the offence, he immediately gave information to the police-constable, who at once apprehended the prisoners. They confessed that they had committed the damage, and offered to make good the same to Mr. Hammond. Mr. Ha►nmond deposed that he did not know any thing of the circumstance, till the police-constable in formed him of it that morning. The sign -board, when it was new, cost 31. There was another charge against the prisoners, of wilfully breaking down a fence belonging to Mrs. Bar bara sadfield, but in this case the evidence was not suffi ciently strong to bring the case home against the pri soners. Mr. JEREMY sentenced the prisoners to pay the sum of 31., being the amount of the damage committed, or in default to be committed for one month each to the House of Correction, with bard labour. It was monstrous, he added, that while persons were sleeping in their beds, their property should be destroyed by a set of lawless midnight prowlers. WICK, OCT. 14.—Since Monday week we have had a severe gale of wind, and almost incessant rain. It blew a terrific, gale from S.S.E. on Tuesday night and all day Wednesday. The " Tom of Preston," with coals, was upset on Wednesday in Pentland Firth, at a place known by the name of " the Bores of Duncansby," and all hands perished, the boat was driven ashore, and the body of one of the crew.
