Tbtrt Vbaton DEA.TII LOUIS PHILIPPE. (T DAY.) LATEST PAK I ICUL ARS. (F110:4 A. CORRESPONDENT.) His illajAst . y King Louis Philippe died this _morn ing, the, 26th of August, at Claremont. The King had been made aware of his approaching dissolution early yesterday, in the presence of the Queen, and receiving with calmne:s the melancholy information thus first broken to him, prepared for the final arrangements which he wished to make. After a conversation with the Queen, he dictated, with a remarkable clearness of mind, a conclusion to his memoirs, in order to complete a history which ill ness had compelled him to suspend for more than four months. , He then caused to be summoned his chaplain, the Abbe Guelle, all his children and grandchildren who were at C aremon►t at the time, and in the presence of the Queen and his family, he discharged every duty of religion with the most perfect Christian resigns • tion, a stoical firmness, and a simplicity which is the real evidence of human greatness. He then remained for some time surrounded by his family. Towards seven o'clock in the evening the debility from which the King had been suffering appeared to have passed over, and fever came on , which continued during the night with much violence, but without disturbing the composure of mind which never abandoned his Majesty. _ _ He expired at eight o'clock this morning, in the presence of the Queen and the following members of his family :—Their Ropl Highnesses the Duchess of Orleans, the C )unt de Paris, the Duke de Chartres, the Duke and Duchess de Nemours, the Prince and Princess de Joinville, the Duke and Duchess d'Au male, the Duchess Augusta de Saxe-Cuburg, and the attached attendants of the Royal househokl. GERMAN Y. A letter from Fre , kfort of the 22d states that a deputation of the American, English, and Frankfort Committees of the Peace Congress went the day be fore to Cologne, to receive the visitors expected from America and England. These new arrivals, to the number of between 400 and 500, arrived the same evening at Frankfort. About 2,000 cards of admis sion to the Congress had been issued. The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from Ber lin of the 20eh, stating that the day before a Cabinet Council was held there, at which the King presided: " Prussia," the letter sap, " consents to enter into a negotiation, having for object to erect an arrangement between the two great powers cf Germany, but she will not re c guise, either directly or indirectly, the restricted federal council, nor the re-establishinent of the Ger manic Die'. She has formally refused to accede to the invitation to seed a minister to the restricted council, and the other states of the union will tollow her example. Paissie, will treat only wi , h Austria and htr allies ; and it will be necessary, therefore; before a negotiation can be entered on, that Austria renounces the ilea of putting down the union." The liidependance of Brua-els his the following tin der date of B Tiro, 2lst :—"jit was unee-stood 3 ester day, in a general though rattier vague manner, that the Ministry, in a C ,binet Council of the 19th, had decided on opposing a formal refusal to the invitation of Austria with regard to the restricted Diet. Prussia shews herself inclined to enter into the neutral corn mission under reserve of the unitary consequences which may result from it. The news is coefirtned to-day, and further details added. The reply to Austria was not perhaps definitively decided on the day before yesterday. To-day there is to be a fresh meeting of the Council. In addition to the reserve 1 have above mentioned, Prussia appears to demand that Austria should explain herself on the compositien of the neutral commission. The dispatch of Prince Schuvarzenberg is as obscure on this point as on many others. In the affair of the Baden troops the Council are also agreed. That was not difficult, Austria having accepted the propositions of Prussia, en that sueject. Oldenbourg and Cobourg are each talked of as the arbitrator of Prussia in the affair, but the former is considered to be the most likely. Public attention bee been much occupied during the last te w days with an incident which has occurred. A trivate correspondence from Rendaburg, in the German Reform, represents things in the Duchies in such a gloomy and discou raging manner that an outcry was reised by all the press. The writer of the letter was discovered at Rendaburg, and proceedings mitnedietely commenced against him. It wss found that this eurv•spondent, whose mane is laid a- wrete at the s mie time fir the German Reform , to , organ of the Cabinet cf 13-rlin, the Free Press rf the North, rip ultra•dereo cratic journal, and the Lloyd, the Ministerial journal of Vietica. A correspoutience by the same person to journals of different political opinions is not an un usual thing in Germany, where people calling them selves political writers are not always overburdened with amour propre. In this case, however, a disre gard to facts and principl s was cerried rather too far. Count de Nesst bode his arrived at StuPgard. He is to proceed from T. ssingen, to Vianea. A lett,r from Cassel of the 1911 states that M. de Shacten had just been charged by the Eiec.or of Hesse-Carrel to form a new Nlioi-try. THE CONGRESS AT 'WIESBADEN. • Siècle gives the following letter from Wies• ' batten of the 20th, giving an account of the procetd logs of the Count de Chambord-at that place • I.Treil noon no visitor is admit ed. If any French man prese •ts himseit before that heur, the answer is that hii Majesty is eugag d. About ohe the doors are epeued tor present :tines, which are Maoist exclu sively made by M. rie Levis. The Prince appreeci es his visitor and interrogates him ai to the pelitical feeling of the department to which he bel-ngs, and there is not one who doe not eag . erly declare tbat all the pripulaiion of his department is Legitimatist. This is the kind of information given to the Count do Chambord. There are, however, some excerptions to teis rule. On Thursday last an old officer of the ex•Reyal Guard, when interroga ei on th subject, raising his voice, replied,' Monseight ur. I arrivt d here morning, and I shall set off again in ten minutes. I came here on purpose to warn you that you are deceive d. I belong to the deparment of the Oi,e. I have talked with the great majority of the farmers, and I ant sorry to tea 1.. s to you that they are sill agqinst you.' These words eau edit great emotion in the crowd of persons press ; the Count de Chambord locked astonished, but he melt the baud of the officer and shook it warmly. On the following day M. de la Rochejaquelin, the rudest cham pion of An appeal to the people, who Lad come to dispute the inffience of M. Berryer, suddenly lett Wics*nuten, and left the field to his rirlf. This precipitate depar ture of M. de la Rochejaquelin has - produced a de -p sensation in the ranks r. f lit I , French colony. M Any persons are much dis.coet mted, but not darioe to express their opinions to the Prince', they surer at th se aretuid him. They -,cruse the old MH. de Levis, de Pa torn', and some others of monopolising the Count de Chambord, of coetiseating him for their own benefi', and or d pi iv ing him of alt lib icy of thought and action. Will y u belie ve it.' said a oung Legit mast to me on this sui,ject, ' that his Royal htighn. ss cannot even go and tat, e a bath without A. de Levi. taking a sear in the room with him?' Ural. r any circumstances, the cold reception given to M. de la R, chejsqnslin prove s th-,t the traction of young legitimatism is disavowed se a ell as its ordinary organs the Gazette de France and the Opinion f'ublique. The Count de Chambord red not Lay a stogie weld to M. de la Roebejerpielin on the aubject cf .14 last pamphlet, inti tuled L'Appel au Peuple, and the'latter, astonished fit this preini (hotted silence, took the libe.rty of sAciug the Yz ince what he th •UghE t.f it.

W s'ter will dare &Ili she salutary iuthenee of pi grim igeb? Afar the press etetions crime the private audiences ; these are readily granted ; but here egain the inevitable Duke de Levis will be found to listen to all that is said, and take note of every word. M. de Levis plays in the monarchical comedy of the Hetet Durgetrger the tart of Banquo's ghost. A visitor arrives with the hope of spouting privately to the C oun t d e Ch am b or d , and ex pressing his (Onion.; confidentially, when just as he begins to open his mouth On phantom of old etiquette appears and fraz-o the words on his lips. At times it is raid the Pi int.() app , ars mech annoyed at this tile. etieate deterreinatien not to let him re for a moment alone with a strenger, but he dares haz Ord an obser- VW ion, aud submits in silence to tho yoke of this mayor of the palace of ropilty without a kingdom. The audiences generally continue until the dint er hour. There are covers every day lad for from twenty-five to thirty. The guests are cart fully blended. The dresses of workmen who have come on a pilgrimage temper what the luxury of the bine ribbons sptead over white waistcoats would tasks appear too aristocratic fur a Court in pepli6es, which • endeavours to make itself Popular. Last evpiog there was much talk of a female Vendvao peasant benrg been admitted to the rcyal and to whom the Prince had even condescended to offer his arm. I saw this woman at the theatre, and ark, d bar what ithu thought of the Pripet? ' Ah, Monsieur,' bald Ala .1 1 4 4440 s lip IS $ ,6141 tbss Sing, at THE present he male me;' drawing from within her dress some thng which had been susp-oidel to her a ck, and which proved to be a locket with a lock of hair of the Count de Ct)mb-rd. She then replaced the locket in her bosom after kissing it several runes with the greatest devotion. Pool women, ,he doutAlevt thinks that she is one of the puppets which wi'l be put in motion in this Legitimatist representitton. In the evening. when the Count de Chambord does not attend the theatre or a concert, all those who have been presented have a right to come and pay their raspt-cts to him. The Prince, always followed by M. de Lefts or by M. de Pastcret, pssses among the groups, and speak.) t ) eve ry one. Sometimes he does not di,ciatn to seat himself at the pianotorte, or to sing. It is stated that he has a very fine baritone voice. He lately commenced singing a romance, Pauvre exile stir la terre 6ttangere,' but at the seccnd verse he was so affected that he could not proceed. This sentimental scene caused a great sensation, and it appeared that on that evening the enthusiasm was so great that the vene rable and dreaded presence of M. de Levis could not prevent the assembly from crying loudly Vive le Rul!' What a singular figure the Hun. M. Berryer must cut in the midst of these puerile demonstrations." ITALY. The Italian journal, state that neither the amnesty, nor an extensive commutation of sentences on poli tical pri , oeers, which had been expected in the Lorebardo-Vene•ian provinces on the occasion of the lirthday of the Emperor of Austria, had taken place. The Risorgimento of Turin, of the 20th, states that the parish priest of Bonneville, when about to cele brate a funeral service for M. de Santa Rosa, 'm u() Inced that he did so only because the Minister when on his death-bed solemnly retracted what be had door against the Church. The announcement caused such dissatisfaction that the National Guard acid the Municipal Council declined to attend the service. Letters from Leghorn and Sienna of the 16th state that, in order to prevent any disturbance, extraordi nary precautions bad been taken by the authorities, who had ordered about 100 individuals of the former place to present themselves three times a day to the police. The Osservotore Romano of the 14th, a semi-official organ of the Papal Government, records the arrest of the Archbishop of Turin and the removal of the Ser ivites, without any comment. THE DANISH QUESTION. At the conference held on Friday at the Foreign .ifice the Court of Austria signified its adhesion to the principles laid down in the protocol of the 2LI cf August, relating to the Danish question, without prtjudice to the rights of the Germanic Confederation. This adhesion has been accepted by the Danish Plenipotentiary, who, on the part of his Government, has declared that it is well understood that those federal rights extend only to the duchy of Holstein and of Lauenberg, forming part of the German Con federation. _ _ _ The above declaration has been received by the re presentatives of France, Gre,it Britain, Russia, and Sweden, who have unanimously rendered full justice to the intentions which have induced the Court of Austria to give its adhesion to the principles stated in the protocol of the 2d of August as being in con formity with the general interests of peace and of the European equilibrium. Tne protocol was signed by the Plenipotentiaries of the respective Powers present. This document is im portant, as it sets at rest the question of the preserva tion of the integrity cf the Danish monarchy, which consideration, in fact, forms the main feature of the former protocols of the 4th of July and the 2d of August. Austria, it appears, hesitated in the first instance to express her assent, on the ground that, as one of the great German Powers, she necessary to reserve the rights of th e Germanic Confederation. These rights were not in any way jeopardiz-d, it teeing clearly understood that no alteration could take place in the existing relations between the duchies of Holstein and Lauenburg and the Confederation. The ill-founded pretension of the Ultra German party in the duchy of Schleswig might alone have given rise to some difficulty and misconstruction. This diffi culty has now. fortunately, disappeared. The decla ration of the Danish Plvnipotentiarv, forming part of the protocol signed yesterday by all parties, distinctly place,: on record the linitation of the rights of the Confederation to Hols t ein and Lauenburg. This solution, acknowledged by all the parties (with the sole exception, we regret to say), of Prus sia), may be considered as one step more towards the establishment of peace in the Duchies—a result of such great European interest. THE NEW ZEALAND COMPANY. The London Gazette of Friday contains the addi tional inal ructions directed by the Queen in Council to he for warded to the Governor-in Chief of New Zealart,l, for the purpose of inodifying the royal in- I•tructions to that officer, so far as they relate to the dispo'al of lands in that colony. These further in struction* have become necessary in consequence of the notice given, under the seal of the company, that they are ready to surrender the charters which they hold to her Mijesty. After reciting the provisions of the rario.is Acts of Parliament under which the waste lands held by the company were distributed, and he proceedings which mast be taken to effect the dissolution of thy said company, the paper proceeds as follows _ _ " Whereas the dire&nrs of the New Zealand Company did, on the sth day of July last pact, give to the Right 1-I.'nourbble Earl Grey, our Principal Secretary of State for the Co►onies, such notice ai aforesaid, in pursuance of the ab.'ve-recited provision; and whereas, on the giving of such notice as Woresaid, all the lands, tene• 'neut.*, and heteditaments of the said company, in New Z. ala►:d, revel ted to and became vested in us, as part of the dem _sne lands of the Crown in Now Z*siand, subject, ueverthelei.s, as aforesaid, to any coniracts v hick were (hen subsisting in regard to any of the said lands: _ " And whereas certain contracts have been entered into betw, en the New Zealand Company and certain bodies of settlers and others, in regard to feeds in New Munster aforesaid, namely, with the settlers at Welling ton, Nelson, and New Plymouth, and the Associations ot Otago and Canterbury: " And whereas it is apprehended that the provisions contaiued in the 13th chapter of the said Instructions are, in certain respects, inconsistent with the said con trac,.s between the New Z-41and Ciattipany and"the said res.peetive settlers and associations; and it is expedient tqat he said instructions should be repealed, so far as regards the lauds comprised in or affected by, the said contract:, as far as the •ame may be inconsistent with the said contracts respscivdy or any part thereof: " Now, therefore, know you, that we have rev Iced and determined, and do by these our instructions under our sign manuel awl signet, revoke and determine so much and such part only of the thirteenth chapter of the said Instructions as relates to the lands comprised in or 0- eted by the stor,s3id contracts between the New Z aland Company and the tellers at W , llington, Nelson, at.d New Plymouth, and the associattons ot Ot tag° and Canterbury, and so far as the same may be in consistent with the said contracts respectively, or any part thereof.

MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS. SUN, LONDON, rived at his official residence at the Admiralty on Sa turday afternoon, from Portsmouth, after attending her Majesty on her marine excursion to o:tend. The Right Hon. Baronet and Lady Arabella Bering and fimily leave town fa. Brighton, and afterwards go u. Stratton-park, Hants, for the autumn. The Right Hon.

THE EXHIBITION OF 1851. COMMENCEMENT OF -OPERATIONS. The preliminary operations for its realization are going briskly forward. The whole space, and, of course, something more than the exact space to he covered by the building for the Exposition, is fenced in by a substantial paling, within which masses of timber are being deposied, and the necessary sheds and temporary workshops are being rapidly run up. Tne space which the fence circumscribes is about 112 yards in breadth, and 740 yards in length ; but of course the actual limits ef the building will not be quite so great. The paling may be said to em inence opposite the Royal Humane Society's receiving house, and to end close by the bridge across the Ser pentine.ln the enclosed space are two rows of trees— one a scattered clump of fine old elms, the other a line of smaller and younger trees. Matters will be so arranged that none of these ornaments of the park need fall. The few trees the destruction of which was inevitable have already disappeared. The ground to be covered by Mr. Paxton's palace of iron and glass lies contiguous to only one of the entrances, and that a minor one, to the park. This is the Prince's:gate, opening f. am the Kensington-road, not very far from the turnpike. From this gate a foot path leads diagonally across towards the bridge over the Serpentine, and this little-frequented path is the only thoroughfare which will be shut up by the " profanation in question. The carriage entrance at this point will not even be obstructed, for a second entrance has been made from the public way, ex ictly opposite the main gate of the enclosure. Through this, all heavy loads of materials, and so forth, will he conveyed, so that the only carriage• road of the many which intersect Hyde-park which will be in the slightest degree interfered with, is the comparatively little frequented drive parallel and close to the Ken sington-road, and this will merely be interrupted by the carts and waggons crossing from one side of it to the other. Tne saunterer by the south hank of the Serpentine, and the horseman in Rotten-row, will not find their comforts in the slightest degree inter fered with. Within the space marked out the workmen are now busy in rearing the needful workshops, and in staking our, under competent direction, the proportions of the intended edifice. Instead of reproducing, as we might, in our own language, Mr. Paxtun's eccount of what that edifice will be, we prefer, 114 the simplest and surest mode of impressing upon the public the idea of its dimensions and its proportions, to print the description of his plms given by the architect him self, at the recent interesting meeting at Bakewell : " The building would be 2,100 feet long by 400 broad. The centre aisle would be 120 feet broad, or ten feet wider than the conservatory at Chatsworth. The building is divided into broad and narrow compartments, and by tying these together there is little for the cross-ties of the centre to carry. The building is entirely dividtd in twenty four places—in short, everything runs to twenty-four —so that the work is made to square and fit without any small detail being left to carry out. The number of columns, 15 feet long, is 6,024; there are 3,000 gallery bearers ; 1,245 wrought-iron girders ; 45 miles of sash bars; and 1.073,760 feet of glass to cover the whole. The site will stand upon upwards of 20 acres of ground ; but by an arrangement of his (Mr. Paxton's) the available space which may be afforded by galleries can be extended to about 30 acres, if necessary." The Lord Chancellor, mpanied by Lady Truro, has left Elton-_.quire for the reuntry, fortht vaca tion. The Premier and Lady John Russell intend to make a tour of the Highlands for a fortnight, and after paving their respects to her Majesty and the Princ. -Consort at Balmoral, proceed to Minto-house, near Hawick, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Mint°, where the Noble Lord and Lady intend to stay some days. The Marquis of Lansdowne is with the Marchioness at Bawood-park, Wilts, surrounded by a select family circle. .The Right Hon. Sir Geo. Grey leaves Fallodon, near Alo wick, this day, for yoi k, in order to receive her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the Royal Family, at the railway terminu•, on the Queen's way to visit the Earl ef Carlisle at Castle Howard ; the Right Hon. ILronet, as Home Secretary, having been selected to attr-nd on her ALjesty during the royal progress to the Highland retreat at Balmoral. There is no truth in the report ti at her Majesty would visit Fallodon, ;he seat of the Right Hon. Baronet. The Earl of Carlisle arriveu at Castle Howard in the early part of the week, from Naworth Castle, the ancient family seat Uf the Howards iu Cuuaberland, in order to make every preparation fur the reception of ber Majesty to morrow evening. The Countess Dowager and Lady Mary Howard had previously arrived there from the Duke of Devonshire's seat in Derbyshire. The Duchess of Sutherland and Lady Constance Leveson Gower, Lady Dover and the lion. Misses Etlis, the Right Hon. W. T. end Lady Caroline Lascelles,lkiisosfLtahsecefallinesi,ly, are Lad Elizabeth Grei:, and other members to assemble at Castle Howard, to have the honour to meet the Queen and royal party. The Marquis and Marchioness or Clarricarde and family have repaired to Brighton. The Noble Marquis occasionally comes to town durirg the week on business connected with his thparrineut in the Government. The Lord Privy Seal, accompanied by the Countess of Mints and the Ladies Elliot, arrived at Mintoshouse, N.B , on Tuesday last from town for the autumn. A large family party will shortly assemble there. The Earl and Countess Grey intend to remain at Hawick-ball until the middle ur next month, when the Noble earl is expected to roma. to London to relieve the Secre. ter.): of State vsying in London. Viscount Palmer ston continues in town, and is not expected to leave for 13roartlands, his seat in Hants, for three weeks to gig4t Sir rruFis W..Auita u« MONDAY EVENING, AUG UST 26, 1850. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. William Collins, 30, was indicted for fe'oni iusly wounding Elizabeth Collins, with intent to do her grievous bodily harm. Mr. Cooper prosecuted, and Mr. Cockle defended the prisoner. The prosecutrix, who is the wife of the prisoner, upon her getting into the witness-box, was evidently resolved to do all in her power to shield the prisoner. She began in a very voluble manner to declare that she was the only person to blame in the transaction, that she was drunk, and had aggravated her husband to strike her, and that the injury she had received was very trifling. The other evidence in the case, how ever, clearly made out that a most savage and brutal attack had been made upon her by the prisoner with the leg of a table, and it appeared that, in addition to several severe injuries about the head and body, one of her arms was broken. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, with intent to do grievous bodily harm ; and the prisoner was sentenced to be transported fur ten years. When the sentence was pronounced the wife of the prisoner went into hysterics, and as she was being carried past the dock he leaned over to her and ex claimed, "Now I hope you are satisfied, ain't you ?" tit illiam 1Z bias, who had pleeded guilty to a charge or stealing a cheque, was brought up • for judgment, and sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six months. Henry Ration, who had been convicted of uttering a forged certificate of marriage, was also brought up, and he was t•entenced to be imprisoned and kept to bard labour for twelve months. THIRD COURT. THE GOLD ROBBERY.-VERDICT. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of Saturday.) Mr. BALLANTINE and MY. PAYNE severaily addressed tit fury fir the prisoners. Mr. GURNEY summed up. The jury having retire! for some time, AcquittLd Homaun and liesslvr; Vsuderhoost, Tonneir., and St‘tfin were sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment and hard labour. With a few other trivial eases, the business of the sessions end-d, and the e Ant stands adjourned until Monday, September 16. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Thomas Crawford was brought before Alderman Gibbs, charged with having stolen a number of gold watches, the property of Mr. Bennet, watchmaker, of 65, Cheapside. The prosecutor said—The prisoner was engaged by me upon the strong recommendation of a master with whom he had lived, and of whom I had a most un questionably good opinion. The situation iu which I had placed him was one of great trust—to receive all watches which were brought to the house for repair. It was his duty to enter the watches so brought, and to fix the number of each watch in the book in such a manner as that it could be easily ascertained. It was a place of considerable trust, in consequence of the large number of valuable watches which passed into the concern. I find that within the last twelve months, instead of obeying my instruction by send ing the watches to the workmen appointed to perform the repairs, he has from time to time pawned them, and redeemed the last watches sent for repair by subsequent pledges. It was his duty to examine watches and, n b c os case g t h h et repairs a c i r u s s t o r e m g e u r i s in r e d t w he er e fi r t s r t i v a n l ta t o n c d e o , them himself ; but if they appeared to be of a serious character to send them by the messenger appointed for such purpose to one of the workmen in whose de partment the particular cases of repair lay, so that, in fact, to the prisoner was left the whole of that valuable trust. He had been in my employment eighteen months, but I should have discovered the system upon which he had been acting before this if it had not been for my knowledge of the high respectability of his family and the general regularity of his personal con duct, he having been always at his post, and appa rently most attentively engaged in the business. Alderman GlBBS—What led to your suspicion ? The prosecutor—My suspicions arose Yrom the delays which took place in the production of the repaired watches, and which, instead of arising from the fault of the workmen, as had been represented to me, were attributable, as I have since ascertained, from the pledging. At last a watch which had been brought for repair to the house was found pledged at the shop of Mr. Chaffers, in Watling- street, for 9/. (Here the watch was produced by the shopman of Mr. Chaf fers.) This is the watch. It is numbered 4,85'2, and was made by French. The prisoner entered it. It appears to have been pledged on the 29th of July, and the owner called several times for it ; but the prisoner deceived me in this case by stating that the repairing workman who, he said, lived near his house, and to whom he stated he had delivered it himself, had met with an accident in repairing it. Since the detection of the plunder the prisoner has given up four dupli cates of watches which had been received in a similar way to repair. Alderman Grans—How many do you consider were taken ? Prosecutor—There are twenty missing. The prisoner was remanded till Friday next. Iflll7-S7'REI2.7. William Whitelow, conductor of the Atlas omni bus, appeared in obedience to a summons which chargel him with extorting more than his legal fare from Mr. Richard CHM, of 139, Lung-acre, under the following circumstances : Mr. Chill stated that his father and himself were passengers by the omnibus of which the defendant was the conductor, on its way from St. Johit's , .wood. Ilia father went inside, and he took his seat by the driver. He desired to be set down at Charing-cross, knowing that the fare was 31. each. On reaching the destination he requested the driver to stop and put him and his father down ; but to this be paid no attention till he drove on a few yards further, when he pulled up. Witness, on his father descending, then gave the defendant a balferown, and he returned him only ls. 6d change, thus charging 6d. each. Wit ness remonstrated with him, but he said he had gone beyond the limit of a threepenny fare and must pay the full price. The defendant said he had no option but to charge the fare, which was distinctly written inside the "bus" as well as out, and within view of the com plainant. Mr. HENRY remarked that this was a common trick of the omnibus fraternity, and was a gross itn pos• ition He only regretted that persons thus de frauded would not follow the example of Mr. Child and seek the redress which he was ever ready to grant. He considered the present case one well worthy of example, and he therefore directed that the defendant should pay a penalty of 20s. and costs, and further that he should retu rn the com p lainant th e overcharge. This was done, and a wholesome lesson afforded, of which the public no doubt will not be slow in taking advantage. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mary Ann Duncan, and her sister, Jane Neaves, were brought before Mr. Hardwick, th e f ormer c harged with stealing various articles of wearing ap parel, household linen, tea, soap, and other articles, the property of her master, Mr. W. Finch, grocer, 227, aeford-street, and the latter with having re ceived part of the prop.qtty, well knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. HARDWICK asked the prosecutor if he thought the case against the receiver sufficiently strong to in duce him to go before a jury ? The prosecutor said he could not possibly doubt the guilty knowledge of the receiver. His loss had been so considerable, and the system of robbery had been carried on for so lung a time, that he felt it to be his duty to proceed against both prisoners. The prosecutor was then sworn. He said the pri soner Duncan was his servant, and Neaves her mar ried sister. On the 16th instant, in consequence of information he received he procured the assistance of a constable, and then asked Duncan to give up the keys of her boxes. She did so, and prosecutor and constable went into her bedroom, and on looking into her boxes found two pairs of gloves, and in a basket in a closet about 71b. of tea, and 31b. more in other places. Other articles were found which prosecutor could identify as his property. Prosecutor then ex amined another closet, of which the prisoner had the key, and discovered in it a cash-box, containing.a key which fitted the lock of his warehouse door. Prose cutor then went to the prisoner's sister's house in Helen's-place, Commercial-road, and waited for the arrival of the Parcels Delivery van. Prosecutor saw the carrier take a parcel and leave it in the house. Prosecutor went into the house, and ascertained that the parcel contained 161 b. or 181 b. of soap. The parcel had not been opened, and Neaves said it be lortgerl to her sister. The house was searched, and a quantity of tea found, which prosecutor was certain had been stolen from his house. Several articles were also found which prosecutor was certain was his property. Thomas Heseltine, constable D 104, corrobated the above statement. Thomas James Cluni4, baker, 10, Portman-street, agent to the Parcels Delivery Company, proved that he received the parcel from the prisoner Duncan. This was the parcel delivered at the prisoner Neaves' house. Sarah Oliver, another servant of the prosecutor's, identified several of the articles found in Neaves' pos.easiop. The prisoners declined to make any defence, and were fully committed. CLEI?KENWELL. Mary Ann Allen, otherwiseicnown as Poll Calla ghan, was put at the bar betore Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with burglari.mAly entering the dwelling house of Mr. George Pearson, of 15, Tonbridge. street, New-ioad. _ . The prosecutor stated, that at 20 MiDIPOS to 2 o'clock in the morning he was aroused by a noise in the lower part of his house, and on looking out of his bedroom window he saw two women and a man in bio garden. lie iumediately desauded to the MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK. GLASGOW, FRIDAY.—We have only learnt to-day a very painful catastrophe which has occurred on the shores of Coil, one of the small islands which lie off the western coast of Mull. It appears that on Sun day and Monday last a hurricane of great violence was experienced over the whole Western Highland., and the wind blew from N.W. and W.N.W. with greater severity than it did at any time during the depths of the past winter. Early on the morning of Monday a large barque was seen to the westward, ap parently in great distress. She was running before the wind with scarcely a stitch of sail set, and being unable to clear the island, she struck on a rock or islet called Ellenure, which is nearly an acre in extent, and lying about sixty yards from the mainland of Coll. Almost immediately after the devoted ship struck the masts went over the side, and the hull was dashed to pieces, many of the beams being broken against the rocks in a few minutes d.,wn to the size of small bidets. Toe calamity occurred nearly opposite the farm of Breach cahu, occupied by Mr. M•Lean, who with his family and servants, witnessed the sad scene, without being able, from the fury of the waves, to put forth a hand to save. It was observed that tee crew got the boats overboard when the ship was fast nearing the rocks, and eight or ten got into the largest, but the boat swamped almost immediately after leaving the ship's side, and all perished. Those who remained with the ship shared the same fate a moment or two afterwards. The logbook, and some other ship's papers, along with a large portion of the cargo, were washed ashore on the island during the day, and from these it appeared that the unfortunate barque was the Mandane, of Sunderland, Hutchinson commander, bound from the Clyde to Demerara. She was of about 400 tons burden, carried eighteen men as crew, and had at least one passenger. Any further particulars regarding the immediate occur rence of this appalling catastrophe will, of course, never be known ; but it will be difficult to explain how, if the ship was well found and well commanded, she could be so far out of her course as the island of Coll within four days after leaving the Clyde for the West Indies. The Mandane carried a miscellaneous cargo, consisting of cottons, woollens. haberdashery, hosiery, iron castings, &c., with 325 tons of coal. Tne ship is insured in Sunderland, and the cargo in Glasgow. Coll, it will be remembered, was the island to which Dr. Johnson and Boswell were steered by the young laird of that name, under such perilous circumstances, during the celebrated trip to the Hebrides. Even in these steam-boat days it is rarely visited, and the lonely islanders are still de serving of all the kindly words that have been spoken of theta by the great lexicographer. THE WEATHER and the CROPS. A severe gale of north west wind was experienced over the entire Highlands, south at least of Sutherland, on Sunday and Monday last, which has done great damage to the crop., and interrupted the harvest. It was experienced as far south as Perth—the rain, however, did not extend to the south of Blair-Athole. In the district of Easter Ross the wind was not ac companied by rain and all the light and ripe grain has been severely shaken. In other districts of Ross, and over the whole county of Invernt as, the rain was ex ceedingly heavy, and whole fields f beautiful wheat, and large patches of oats and barley, are every where lodged. A severe hail-storm occurred here to-day, and we understand there was a fall of snow at Fo. chahers. Wheat cutting has commenced at Corntown farm, Ferintatili, on a field of 15 acres of new land—an excellent crop, and the quality very superior. This however, is nothing new ; for many years ego a field of 21 acres of new land on the same farm produced f.iur quarters per acre, weighing 651bs. per bushel, and sold at 755. per quarter.- The ryegrass seed at Corntown and on the fillowsow, &c., farms, Brahan, is all secured in good order, and weighs from 25 to 30Ibs. per bushel. Mr. Ure has been at considerable expense in procuring the finest perennial ryegrass, and this season he had several quarters from the south of second year's cutting, which cost 40s. per quarter, And weighed 311 b. per bushel. GaiaLocuir, Ave. 19.—The crops, us far as I have seen, continue to progrers most satisfactorily. Pota toes alone give occasion for doubts. In low moist rich soils disease seems spreading, but in all high, light, dry soils the crop has escaped, and the potatoes are as good and healthy as in their most palmy days. From present appearances I do not suppose that the crop, as a whole, will suffer to so great an extent this season as in former years. CARR BRIDGE, STRATHSPEY.—On the farm of Benanach, Dulnan Side, shearing commenced on Tuesday, the 15th, nearly a month earlier than usual in that high district. BADCALL, BY SCOURIB, 15TEI AUG. 1850.—There is a great appearance of herrings on the coast betwixt Stoer Head and the Wand of Banda.

We do not hear much about the potato blight, and it is hoped that this crop will prove tolerably abundant. The ac counts from a distance respecting the potatoes are contradictory, but most agree in suppobing that the disease will be light this season.—lnverness Courier. ACTION AGAINST A NUNNERY. At the Galway Record Court, a few days ago, the case of " *Donnell v. White" was tried. The action was brought by the administrator of Mrs. Eliza M'Donnell, to recover the sum of 5001. given by her to the Sisters of Mercy in the town of Galway. The circumstances were these:— In March, 1846, Miss Harriett M'Donnell, the daughter of Mrs. M'Donnell, being desirous of be coming a nun of the order of the Sisters of Mercy, her sister, Mrs. Ireland, at the request of Mrs. M`Donnell, called at the Convent of Mercy to inquire as to the terms of the convent, and to settle with the nuns. Mr?. White, the mother abbess, stated that it was absolutely necessary that Miss M'Donnell should spend six months as a postulant in the convent pre vious to her reception as a novice, and that after the cere mony of her reception had taken place she should pass two ye-Lars as a novice in the convent before she could be professed ; she added that they could not on any account shorten the time of her profession, and that it could not be done without a dispensation from the Pope ; they agreed to tike the sum of 5001. from Mrs. Al‘Donnell for her daughter, and that it should t -, e left in the hands of her brother-in-law, Mr. Ireland, until after her profession, and that in the meanwhile they would receive the interest for her support. In the month of May, 1846, the Rev. Peter Daily called on Mr. Ireland, and told him it would be of great service to the nuns if the family would give the money at once, as they were going to invest some money on very favourable terms. Mrs. M.Donnell agreed to give them the money on their undertaking to return it, in case either her daughter should wish to leave the convent before the regular time of her profession, as stated by themselves, or in case of her death before then. They agreed to give the strongest guarantee to that effect, and Mrs. White entered into the following agreement : Madame, —You have handed , to the Rev. Peter Dally, on behalf of the Sisters of Mercy, 500/. sterling, the sum agreed to be received for your daughter, Har riet M'Donnell, on her b iug professed a nun in this ceimmunity, which sum we engage to return you, free of interest, should either the nuns or your daughter change their minds before the period of her said profession ar rives or in the event of her deceasebetore_theu._ " AMELIA. IV Et iTE. " Mrs. Eliza M'Donnell." In the month of August, 1847, Miss M`Donnell took a malignant fever. After all hopes of recovery were over the nuns had her a professed nun. They gave no notice to her family of her illness until she was past recovery. They now contended that as she was professed on her dying bed they had complied with the terms of the agreement. The jury found a ver - diet for the plaintiff for the sum claimed. T ATTERSALL'S-T HIS EVENING. O'CLOCK.

At Condurrow meeting the balance against the mine appears to be 9451., accounted fir by erection of !tamps, and payment of a portion of the purchase money fur Coomb's mill, and the scarcity of water having pre cluded the due return of tin. The average quantity of tin raised during the last six months is 9. tons per month, and now not more than 9 tons for two months can be returned. At the Cook's Kitchen meeting the accounts were audited to the end of April, showing a balance of 2,1241. against the mine. It was proposed to discharge the debt by a rateable division over the shares, which smounts.to about 164; - la per share. At the Tywarahayle and Nancekuke meeting the statement of accounts showed a balance of 2091 against the adven turers. The report is favourable, the average returns being about 600 tons per month. At the Wheel Crebor meeting the accounts showed a balance in band of 4311. 9:. 3d., which was stated in the report as calculated to be sufficient to pay the cost fur the next three months. There were 20 tons of copper ore at grass, and there were 14 tributers on the mine still raising fair piles of ore. At the e , Krkcudbrightshire meeting the accounts r May, Junand July, were audited, and a balance of 921. was found against the company.

He, however, kept her at bay until the arrival of police-constable Rowe, 91 E, to whom he called for as.istance, and she was secured ; but her companions made their escape in another di rection. Before she was apprehended she emplored him not to be hard, as she would be transported per haps for 21 years if he prosecuted her. The timely discovery prevented a further depredation. Sergeant Graysmark, No. 8 E, said the accused was one of the most desperate characters in the me tropolis, and a notorious thief. Not long ago she was tried at the Old Bailey, with three men, for a bur glary en the premises of Mr. Raven, surgeon, Comp ton street, Brunswick-square, and escaped a conviction on that occasion, the humane and Learned Judge Lord Denman on the trial mercifully urging to the jury that she might have acted under the control of her companions, who were found guilty and traLs• ported for life.—She was committed for trial. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. HULL AND SELDY.—The half-yearly meeting a this company was held on Slturday at Hull. The report stated that the directors, being anxious to avoid any just ground of difference arising between this company and the York and North Midland Rail way Company, had entered into negotiations for as certaining and adjusting their claims. Towards pro.. viding for any payment which may be required to be, made on this count it is considered expedient now to make some reserve, and the directors recommend a dividend for the ball-year of 21. 7s. upon the whole or 501. shares, and 11. 3s. 61. upon the half or 251. shares ; such dividend, and also the half-year's in• terest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum on the quarter shares eithject in each case to the deduction of the income-tax), to be payable at the bankers' l.f the company. The net amount of the dividends after deducting the income-tax will be 27,3771., leaving 1,4811. in hand . . After some discussion the report was_adopted. YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICIE.—It appears the directors of this company have made arrange ments to accommodate the shareholders and their friends on the ocfa,ion of opening' the central railway station at Newcastle, and the bridge over the Tweed at Berwick on Thursday next. A special train will leave York for Berwick at 7 o'clock in the morning, calling at the principal stations along the line, and will leave Berwick at 5 P.M. for York. The share. holders and their friends who wi,h it may go to Ber wick or Newcastle by any of the trains the day before the opening, and return on Friday, the day after. The shareholders will be - allowed to travel free, and to take their friends with them on payment for each friend from York to Newcastle I.ls. 6d. Ist clas, and 10s.

Albert will be present at the opening on Thursday, white proceeding on their route to Scotland. SOUTH WALE3.—The report of Messrs Thurburn and :Baker,' the auditors cf this company, states that the accounts and all cash transactions appear to be kept and . checked with great ciu4 and exactness. In the course of the audit they have received the fullest assistance from the secretary and other officers of the company, and free and full access to every document and account has been at once accorded ; but, whilst thankfully acknowledging the facilities afforded, the auditors are of opinion that such should not be left optional, but should be secured to the sharehold ers by legislative enactment ; and whilst they strongly de precate all kind of Government interference in the management of - the company's affairs they trust that Parliamentary powers, such as were sought fur in the Bill lately introduced by the railway dele gates, may be again applied for in the ensuing session, whereby 'a clearly defined, efficient, and independent system of audit may be secured as a matter of right. The statement of receipts and expenditure to the 30th of June shows that 2,800,0001., being the whole of the share capital, has been called up. The last call of 3/.: per share was due on the Bth of July. Deducting 630,453/, the amount forfeited and in arrear, including the, last call, from the amount called up, leaves the actual amount received on calls 2,169,5461., to which is added 17,7131. received in advance of calls, 272,700/. loans on debenture at 5 per cent., 3671. registration fees, making the total receipts on capital account to the 30th of June 2,460,3271. The receipts during the half-year amounted on shares to 201,877/., and on loans to 164,650/. , The number of shares forfeited is 2,771, on which 21,460/. has been received out of the nominal amount, 138,5501., leaving 117,0891. not received.

At the special, meeting to be held on Thursday next the expediency of appointing a committee of investigation is to be considered; also the propriety of removing the office from London, and of holding all future meetings of the company at Bristol or 13ridgend, and to reduce the number of directors. AMRERGATE, NOTTINGHAM, AND BOSTON.—The report to be submitted to the proprietors at the half yearly meeting, to be hell next Thursday in Notting• ham, states that the line from the junction with the Midland Railway at Colwick to Granthan was opened to the public on the 15th of July, and the traffic has been satisfactory up to the present time. The total receipts up to the 31st of July amounted to 577/., in cluding the toll to the Midland Company on the 2i miles out of Nottingham. Of this period goods anu mineral trains were run only nine days ; but arrange ments have now been completed for the conveyance of goods, commencing on the 19th of August, and the traffic continues to increase. A contract has been made with Messrs. E. B. Wilson and Co., of Leeds, to perform the whole of the work in the locomotive department, including servants connected therewith, the company providing three-fourths of the capital expended on the plant. The directors do not intend to make any further call until after February next, prior to which every exertion will be made to recover the amounts now in arrear, as also to ascertain the precise sum that may be required to fulfil the en• gagements of the company. The railway being now open, payment of interest out of capital has ceased. 10,580 shares are to be forfeited, on which 33,392/. has been paid, it having been found impossible to recover anything more from the present holders. Since the last report the engineering charges have been reduced at the rate of upwards of 1,000/. per annum, and further reductions are contemplated. 1,700/. has been paid to cancel a contract for engines with Messrs. Fairbairn, arid a like sum has to be paid to Messrs. Sharp, Brothers, on the same account, that being less than the difference in price between the present time and that of tasking the contracts. The receipts on calls for the hale-year ending the Bth of August amount to 48,7561., and the expenditure to 48,0701. The report of the engineer states that the measurement of the works requisite for the final arrangement of the contract accounts is in progress. The works throughout are in a satisfactory state, and the permanent way is in good condition. NEWMARKET. —It is understood that this line,:lately so suddenly closed, will be re-opened to-day, the ne cessary arrangements and understanding having been come to. EASTERN COUNTIES.—The several trains that were discontinued by this company during the last fort night are to resume running to-day, the staff of en gine -drivers being now completely reorganized. THE COUN TRY MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, AUG. 24.—Prices to-day remain un changed. MA - NCLIESTER, A UG. 24.—During the greater part of the present week the weather in this neighbourhood has been cold and showery, with boisterous winds, but the trade has, nevertheless, remained without any specula tive acti on , on ly a moderate consumptive demand for flour having been experienced, and stocks in first hands being light, previous rates were maintained. Old cat meal has moved off steadily without alteration in value, whilst for new it has been necessary to accept lower prices. Of foreign wheat and flour the arrivals at Liver pool are on a liberal scale, but very scanty of other pro duce; whilst from Ireland or our own coast the supplies are exceeiingly small. Tht re was but a limited amount of business transacted in any article at our market this morning, but a tolerably firm feeling being displayed by holders, no material change occurred in the currency of this day se'nnight, which we therefore repeat. New oat meal was in fair re quest, at 24s to 23s per 401ba.
