THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO LANCASTER. On Monday last an announcemunt was received at Lancaster that it was her Majesty's intention, in her progress, to stay for an hour in Lancaster on the Bth of October, for the purpose of visiting the Castle, &c. The meeting of the Lancaster Town Council, which was held on the morning of Monday, was adjourned to dye o'clock in the afternoon, when the Mayor requested the mem bers of the corporate body to meet, for the purpose of adopting measures for the fitting reception of her Ma jesty. When the council had assembled, a note was handed to the Mayor, stating that the county magistrates would meet at the Castle on the following day (Tuesday) to make the preliminary arrangements for the royal visit. Little was, therefore, done at the meeting, with the exception of a motion being passed that the Mayor and town-clerk attend the meeting of county magis trates as a deputation from the corporation, to enable that body to act in concert with the county magis trates. It was' also agreed that the macebearers and corporation servants should have new livery fur the occasion. A member of the corporation, who had that day keen in communication with the county magistrates, stated that he could furnish the council with the intentions of that body. Ac cording to this statement the High Sheriff will re ceive her Majesty at the railway station (at which she will arrive at two o'clock), when his state carriage will ,be in attendance to convey her to the castle, other car riages being in attendance for the accommodation of the Royal suite. The Royal ccniege will then move to the Gateway-tower, built by John o'Gaunt, which her Ma jesty will have an opportunity of viewing. Her Majesty will afterwards proceed round the castle to the entrance to the assize courts and to the grand jary room, in which her Majesty will partake of luncheon. After luncheon she will proceed through the judges' retiring room to the Shire-hall, or Nisi Pries Court, where addresses will probably be presented. A temporary staircase will be erected, by which her Majesty will ascend, over the roof of the Shire-hall, to the Citadel or Lungeas-tower. She will proceed up to the top of the Keep to " John O'Gaunt'a chair,'' the spot from which the Royal Duke surveyed his extensive and picturesque domain. From this tower, which is 88 feet from the surface of the ground, if the weather should be favourable and the at mosphere clear, her Majesty will have a view compre hending a vast extent of sea and land. On her Majesty's descent from the tower she will return to the railway in t h e Sheriff's carria, , ze, and continue her route to the southern division of the county. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The receipts at the doors yesterday amounted to 2,5721. 125., the numb er of visitors being 54,540. A SnowEa or BEEF.--A shower of meat fell at the barracks in Benicia at eleven o'clock last Saturday morn ing. A number of officers of the army and other gentlemen were at the time in various parts of the adjoining grounds, when their attention was arrested by the sound of falling bodies resembling bail, and on looking upwards it was per ceived by the descent of numerous small pieces of meat, which on examination proved to be bond fide beef. The shower continued two or three minutes, extending over a space 400 yards long by 100 broad, and the pieces, perhaps in amount not less than 100 lbs., varied in magnitude from the size of a filbert to a hen's egg. The day was pleasant, the wind blowing very freshly from the west, and there was no object in sight that could account for the occurrence. The meat was generally quite fresh, although some pieces were partly dried, as by exposure to the weather, and all had ap pearance, as if they had been torn trim the bone , and ragged swa llowed by birds. Two opinions exist as to the cause of the phenomenon —one, that a large number of carnivorous birds were above the spot, at such an altitude as to be invi sible, and were caused to disgorge by some, perhaps electri cal, change in the atmosphere ; the other, that the meat had been blown to a great elevation by a whirlwind, whence it descended in the manner described.—col forma Gazette. CaIcIKET. —The watch between Eleven of England and Twenty-two of Birmingham terminated yesterday. The following is the score: —Birmingham, first innings, 158; second ditto, 70.

LONDON, EAST INDIA HOUSE. _ A Quarterly General Court of Proprietors was held yesterday at the East India House ; J. Shep herd, E,q., chairman of the Court of Directors, in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read, The CHAIRMAN said, in accordance with the bye laws, a copy of certain accounts and papers which had been presented to Parliament were then laid be fore the proprietors. Captain GORDON said he thought that the chair man ought to be elected by the proprietors present. An HON. PROPRIETOR said that such an observa- tion was out of order. The CHAIRMAN said that if Captain Gordon wished to have the chairman elected at each meeting he should give notice of a motion to that effect. Captain GoanoN considered that that was the pro per time, atter the minutes had been read, to make any objections he !night 'nave to the course of pro ceeding. The lion. Proprietor then continued to address the Court upon several points, notwithstand ing several attempts on the part of the chairman to stop him, by calling him to order and reminding him that the question before the Court was the confirma tion of the minutes. He (Captain Gordon) found fault with the officer♦ of the Company for not regu larly entering the minutes of the Court in a book to be open to the inspection of the proprietors, and be also found fault with the mode in which the Com pany's business was conducted generally. What he was stating, be hoped, would be in the public prints to-morrow, and in six weeks afterwards would be in the Mshrattas. Mr. 'TWINING said that the remarks of the lion. Proprietor had no reference to the immediate busi ness before the Court. The CHAIRMAN expressed a hope that Captain Gordon would not interrupt the business of the Court. Captain GORDON then gave notice of a motion for thz, next Court day.—(Hear, hear.) The motion was to the effect that it was the right of this Court to elect its own chairman. The CLIAIRMAN said it was no doubt competent for the Hon. Proprietor to give notice of such a motion, but he had no right in doing so to make a speech upon the subject. Captain GORDON then gave notice of another mo - tion, which was to the effect of making the minutes of the general courts accessible to the Proprietors, by printing the same or otherwise, and concluded by moving certain resolutions, which not being seconded they fell, of course, to the ground. The minutes of the last Court were then agreed to. The CLERK then read various returns which were ordered by Parliament, amongst which were those upon the condition of the East India College, the number of students therein, &c., during the last twelve months. Colonel DICKENSON then brought forward his motion— " That annual statements be laid before the Court of Proprietors of the sums expended since the renewal of the present Charter for the repairs and formation of the roads, with exception of those at the chief civil and military stations throughout Guzerat." On the occasion, gentlemen, of our last meeting it devolved upon me to invite the attention of this Court to the hardships against which the inhabitants of Guzerat—more especially those engaged in agricul tural and commercial pursuits—have so long had to contend, in consequence of the wretched state of the roads and total want of quays and other appliances fur the landing and shipment of merchandise throughout that province ; the object which I had in view by the motion of which I then gave notice, being to remove the very erroneous impression which must have been created by the counter assertion of the Hon. Chair man when he assured this Court that the condition of these roads was by no means such as to justify my estimate of the little which had been done for nearly half a century to facilitate communication in that district. Although I hold in my hand documents since received by me from India, which would, lam bound to believe, carry conviction to the minds of this Court that the Hon. Chairman is under a very serious misconception as regards the actual condition of the roads in Guzerat, I am, after the expectations a second time held out to us from the chair, willing to hope that to this long-neglected province will be assigned a liberal share of the expenditure which it appears has been sanctioned for improving the com munications with the chief cotton-growing districts under the Bombay Presidency ; constituting, as Guzerat does, through the medium of an unas sisted native agency, the El Dorado of India, the ex treme fertility of which may be judged of when it is stated that from the till lately insignificant port of Dhollera alone was last year imported ninety thousand bales, or nearly one-half of the annual shipment from all India to Great Britain ; equivalent also to more than three times the amount of cotton which reaches Bombay from Canisish, Berar, and the Southern Mabratta country; while, for the extended cultiva tion of cotton of a like superior quality, there are large unoccupied tracks throughout Western Guzerat of which the more enterprising natives would gladly avail themselves but for that de ficiency of all means of transport, against which, and not without the most justifiable reasons for so doing, I have so long inveighed. I would also beg leave to remind this Court, that when advocating, as I unsuccessfully did, that a fixed porticn of the revenues of Guzerat should be applied to local improvement, the Hon. Chairman objected to such a proposition, on the grounds of its being at variance with usage, and "very injurious to counte nance such a principle." So tar from this being the case, it is stated in a minute of the Governor- Generalte, dated August 14, 1839, " that in the revenue settlement of the North-West provinces of the Bengal Presidency a systematic arrange ment is made for the repair and extension of the com munications in the interior districts by a cess of one per cent. on the amount of the Government jumms, or tax, levied and appropriated exclusively for that purpose. The disbursement of this cess is managed by a local committee, and it has been gratifying to me to learn that in some districts the application of these funds is giving to natives of influence a warm feel ing of interest, and a habit of co-operation for the gene ral improvement of the country in which they reside." That enlightened statesman, the late Sir Robert Grant, also advocated the principle now pronounced by the Chairman to be so very injurious, on the oc casion of his forwarding a memorial praying for the appropriation of a portion of the revenue of Bombay to the construction of roads and other works ; in reply to which the memorialists are informed, under date of the 25th of September, 1837, " that the Go vernor in Council is entirely friendly to the measure in question, which, indeed, he long since recom mended to the adoption of the Court of Directors." That the late and present Governor- Generals recog nise the adoption of such a principle is evident from their appropriation of a large per-centsge on the re venue of the Jullundur Dooab, and that of our more recent acquisitions in the Punjsub expressly for local improvements—therefore, Mr. Chairman, it must at any rate be acknowledged that I had the best autho rities in support of the proposition you so repudiated. As Guzerat is one of our oldest acquisitions, and it appears by a recent announcement from India that its inhabitants are not indifferent to the advantages of such a measure, and as I have reason to believe that individuals are to be met with in the towns of Surat, Brooch, and Ahmedabad qualified for the exercise of like municipal functions, and as I should hail the in troduction of the system which has been found to operate so beneficially' in the north-west provinces into this portion of the Bombay Presidency as a bar biuger of that extension and improvement of our public ways in Guzerat, for want of which this province has so long languished, I will conclude by submitting, in lieu of the motion now before the Court, the following notice : That it he suggested for the consideration of the Bombay Government whether the same systematic ar rangement which bag so long been acted upon in the north-west provinces of the Bengal Presidency for the repair and extension of the oommunications in the in terior of districts by a cess on the amount of the G overnm ent juoama, or tax, levied, and appropriated exclusive for that purpose, the disbursement of this cess being managed by a local committee, might not with advantage to the public be introduced into Guzerat." . There being no further motio n for considerat ion, the Court adjourned.

Cuatous FREAK.—Amongst the arrivals at Ply mouth I, on Saturday was a skiff of about 22 feet in length, 3 feet in breadth, and about the same depth, in which an ec centric and adrenturous individual had started from London a fortnight previously, and had rowed all the distance to Plymouth, skirting the coast and taking shelter ea c h night in that harbour to which he happened to be the n ear est. The boat was supplied with a pair of sculls and a small square sail, which, from the manner in which it was s e t, could only be serviceable when the wind was fair, or nearly so. Rumour states it to be in consequence of a bet, but no information could be obtained from the party himself, who left Plymouth by land for the North of Devon, having ar ranged for his skiff to be taken round by water to Newport, from whence, no doubt, he will start on a similar voyage of iospectiuri on the Welsh coast.— Shipping Gazette.

By the United States mail steam-ship Atlantic, Captain West, we learn that the steam-ship Wing field Scott had arrived at New York with 147,489 dollars in specie on freight. From Cuba we have advices to the 6th inst. by tele graph from New Orleans and Charleston. General Concha had granted a pardon to four of the captive liberators, and paid their passages to New York. It is stated that but for the riots at New Orleans, and the insults received by the Spanish Consul, he would have pardoned the remainder. Captain Platt, of the United States navy, had interceded on behalf of the prisoners, but without effect, and it has been deter mined to send them to Spain. Affairs in the island had assumed a more quiet appearance, and business matters were improving. The brig Potosi, which had been seiz d fur a violation of the revenue laws, had been given up. Tire captain and second mate were released, the whole matter having been arranged with the authorities. 78, Captain L ird Gdorgo Paulet, which was dis. patched on Sauday to relieve the wind . ..wand mer chantmen in the Cnannel, returned to Sp; thead this afternoon.

It is now I;enerally be lieved that the Emperor has given up fot • the present all hostile intentions towards the Dominican Repub lic, and that he has so resolved in consequence of the urgent remonstrances of the agents of tire mediating Powers (England an 1 France). The Emperor was at Cape Ilaytien with GAO men and rix - inen-of-war, but was exjectod son to leave for Po :t-au-Prince, the seat of GiVernment.

Letters from Washilgton state that the Pampero had been clvsed by a Governtu7nt revenue cutter and fired upon. The following letter from Colonel Clittenden, one of the leaders of the expedition, and nephew of the United States Attorney• General, written previously to his execution, is interesting:— " Shtip of War liiperanzl, Aug. 16, 1851. " Dear Lue'on,—ln ball an hour I. with tifcy ()tors, am to be shot. We wcro taken prisorrrs yesterday. We were in small boats. Gont.ra Lopez sepirated thee baldric eof ;he eAnni and from me. I had with me about one hundred—was attacked by two battalions of infantry and one company of horse. The odds were too great and, strange to tell, I was not furnished with a single musket cartridge. Lopez did not get any artillery. I have not the heart to write to any of my family. It the truth evrr comes out you will find that I did my duty, and have the perfcct confidence of every man with me. " We had retired fr, - In the field, and were going to sea, and acre overtaken by the Spanish steamer Haba nero, and captured. Tell General Boston that his nephew got separated from me on the 13th (day of the fight), and that I have not seen him since. He may have straggled off and joined Lopez, who advanced ra pidly to the interior. My people, however, wore entirely surrounded on every side. We saw that we had been deceived grossly, and were making for the United States when taken. During my short sojourn in this island I have nt - t met a single patriot. We landed some forty or fifty miles to the westward of this, and I am sure that in that part of the island Lopez has no friends. " When I was attacked LOtICZ was only three miles off. If ho had not been deceiving us as to the state of things, ho would have fallen back with his force and made fight ; instead of which ho marched on imme diately to the interior. I am requested to get you to tell Mr. Green, of the Custom-house, that his brother shares my fate. Victor Kerr i 3 also with me, also Stanford. I recollect no other of your acquaintances at present. I will die like a man. My heart has not failed me yet, nor do I believe it will. Communicate with my family. " This is an incoherent letter, but the circumstances must excuse it. My hands are swollen to double their thickness, resulting from having been too tightly corded for the last eighteen hours. Write to John, and let him write to my mother. I am afraid that the news will break her heart. My heart beats warmly towards her now. " Farewell. My love to all my friends. lam sorry that I die owing a cent, but it is inevitable. " Yours, strong in heart, " W. L. CRITTENDEN. " To Dr. Lucien Hensley." Intelligence by telegraph from Baltimore reports a serious negro riot in Pennsylvania. We give the news verbatim : " BALTIMORE. ►SEPT. 12. "Passengers in the cars from York, Pennsylvania, furnish the following details of the attempted arrest of some fugitive slaves:—lt appears that Edward Gorsuch and his eon, Dickinson Gorsuch, residents of Baltimore county, accompanied by Nicholas Hutchinson, Joshua Nelson, Dr. Thomas Prince, Joshua Gorsuch, and others, went to Christiana to recover some fugutive slaves, who ran off a year ago, belonging to Edward Gorsuch. Up'.»l nearing the house where the fugi tives were, some ncgroes, armed with muskets, &c., rushed upon them and prevented them from entering. A large crowd of whites and negroes soon assembled, and were commanded by the marshal to assist in the capture, but they refused. Mr. Gorsuch and his friends tieing completely overcome retired, when they were fired upon by the negroes from the windows of houses, and were also attecked by the crowd. Edward Gorsuch was shot in the breast and fell dead. His son Dickinson was shot in the arm and shoulder, and died. Both the deceased were afterwards beaten with clubs. The other Mr. Gorsuch wfia also mortally wounded. Dr. Thomas Prince wes shot and badly beaten, and it is feared he cannot survive. Messrs. Hutchinson and Nelson escaped to Philadelphia. Two or three of the negroes were also shot. Such was the violence of the attack that none of the survivors could remain with the wounded, but escaped ai they best could. The crowd of whites and blacks numbered about 200, and none interfered to save the lives of cur cic'z ns. The gentlemen from Baltimore county aro prnonv our most respected eiti zms. The excitement in Baltimore is most intense." PROGRESS AND DEPARTURE FOR DOVER OF THE GREAT CABLE TELEGRAPH. Yesterday morning, about half-past ten o'clock, after working throughout the night, the entire coil of telegraphic tackle was safely deposited by the workmen on board the Blazer. This enabled those engaged in the opere'ion to secure the flow of a fine spring tide, which was at its height by one o"clock, when the Blazer, with her officers, engineers, and workmen was put under weigh between the shore and outer tier of merchant vessels anchored in the river. Two powerful st?am-tugs, the Joseph Somes, belong ing to the Thames Steam Towing Company, and the Red Rover, with steam up, were in readiness along side. A rope from the Red Rover was thrown on board the Blazer, and made fast to her starboard quarter, and in this way she was towed into mid stream. After a pause, and in order to right her, she was tacked at four miles an hour down the river, the aenJnd steam-tug remaining in reserve, and riding alongside till such time as the Red Rover had towed the vessel into the reaches of the river, when both tugs took their places, and accompanied the Blazer by her paddle-wheels, as it were, arm in arm, with a third tug in advance. The appearance of the noble flotilla on old Father Tnames, containing so cu rious a convoy, attracted considerable attention as it rounded the reaches by Blackwell, Woolwich, and Gravesend, where it arrived in a clear roadstead. The convoy had then to shape its course down the Hope, the sea reach to the Nore, pass the Mouse Light, the Tongue, by Margate Sands, the North Foreland, Margate, and Deal, to Dover, where, after touching probably at the Nore, it was expected to ar rive by daybreak this morning. It is said that certain parties, on bring applied to, asked 121. 105. per day for the use of their water-side premises to pass the rope over to the vessel, but the promoters, though able to afford it, would not submit to the extortion, and, by means of a little divergence from a direct line in delivering the cable, availed themselves of what is known among the water-side worthies of Wapping' and the neighbourhood, of carrying the cable through a " five-foot way," several of which exist on the river side, and where persons are privileged, comparatively free of charge or wharfage dues, to !and or ship their cargoes. The process of manufacturing the twenty four miles of cable in somewhat less than three weeks, and the depositing it on board the Blazer in less than three days, is looked upon as the accomplishment of a somewhat formidable feat. The Defence, 72, arrived at Woolwich to-day, towed by the Monkey and Z -phyr steam-vessels, and was brought up at moorings opposite the dock yard until made ready for service as a convict-ship. The Tyne, store-ship, Master Commander Peter Wellington, passed to-day on her way to Deptford. Commodore Superintendent Sir W. E. Parry, Knight, of the Royal Clarence Victualling-yard, and Superintendent of Hasler Hospital, Captain F. W. Beechey and De. Richardson, the explorers of va rious parts of the Artic regions, and Mr. J. Barrow, from the Admiralty, arrived at Woolwich dockyard to-day, and, after going on board the Lady Franklin and Sophia searching vessels, with Captain Penny, they adjourned to the offices of Commodore Henry Eden, superintendent of this dockyard, and com • menced a minute examination of the relics brought home by Captain Penny from the locality of the three graves found at Cape Riley. There are four large cotiliacks full of rope, cordage, and canvas, many pieces of the rope in excellent condition, with the Government mark on them, the outer parts of the rope only being bleached. On one of the pieces of canva3 was found the word " Terror," and the broad arrow, giving unmistakeable evidence of the vessel the piece had originally belonged to. The block used by the smith, evidently for resting his anvil upon, bus also been brought home, as is a piece of wood, about 16 inches square by 2 feet high, with an eye bolt screwed into one of the sides, and a hole in the top, where the anvil had been inserted. Among the articles found was a quantity of charcoal in a half-barrel cask, and a number of meat cans. The direction-post put up by the missing navigators was also brought home, and was an object of great in terest to-day. It is seven feet in length, having a board nailed to the top, on which was painted the representation of a hand with black paint on a white ground, the wrist being towards the right hand aide, and the pointing finger on the left hand side. It was found lying on the ground. The gallant officers, along with M. Barrow, were engaged until four o'clock P.M., in their investigation of the relics of Sir John Franklin's party, and then left for town. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

PRESENTATION TO THE MAYOR OF MANCHESTER. —A dinner and tea service, of the value of 1,000 guineas, was on Monday evening last presented to Mr. .I.lm Potter, the Mayor of Manchester, by a large body of his fellow citizens, as a token of esteem and respect fur the manner in which he had discharged the arduous duties of the mayoralty. _ _ We understand that a marriage will shortly take place between the Iron. Capt. Evana Freke, 2d Life Guards, next brother of I ord Carhery, and the Lady Katherine Felicia Pakenhara, sieter of the Earl of Longford, and a niece of the Duke of Wellington. Last week a stonecutter at Dumfries obtained a large block of red sandstone from the low quarry at Locker briggs. Whilst squaring the stone a loose layer was re moved, and on the face of the block thus displayed a long indentation was formed. It proved to be the mark of a hu ram foot, which must have been impressed upon the mass of clay now, in the course of ages afterwards, petrified into hard and solid stone. At the heel and great tea the depth of the impress was considerable,; from three - quarters of an inch to an inch, and the whole print of the foot was sharp and die tifict.—,Dainfries Standard. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The First Lord of the Admiralty, Sir F. Baring, Bart., with Admirals the Hon. M. F. F.

(Before Mr. St-rg,3aut -ADAMS.) THE FLOGGING OF A CHILD AT 15LINGTON.— William Weale, alias Brother Franci.e, was indicted for having assaulted and unlawfully inflicted grievous bodily harm upon John Farrel, a child of the ((go ( f six years. The case was opened by Mr. Parry, who they called the witnesses. 'Their testimony tend. d to substantiate the ccmmission of the assault, the particulars of which are already familiar to our readers. Mr. CLARKSON (with whom was Mr. Ballantine) ad ' dressed the jury for the defendant. He would not deny that the child bad been corrected by Mr. Wea.'t., and corrected even beyond the limits of moderation showed to teachers of the young, but there had been no evidence offered to show that the punielanant inflicted on the boy Ras more than adequate to the nature of the offence of which he had been guilty. Had that evidence heirs given it would have appeared that the boy had been con nected with the stealing of a brush, end had told lies in recrence to that affair. It was impeanNe to suppot , e fur a inement that the defendant could have had any mali cious feeling towards the child, end it was a eheate, therefore, that such an accusation as that contained its the first count of the indictment should be brought against him; and he contended that the jury, supposing they we re sati,fied with the evidence es it s.t Leal, coital not do more than find him guilty of the Miner charge, that of the common assault. The Learned JUDGE, in summing up, told the jury that they had to consider whether the defendant bad bet n actuated by any feeling of malice towards this child; if so, they would find him guilty under the first count of the indictment. For himself, he did bet think that the injuries described properly c ause w aea u the meaning of the statue as grievous bodily harm, and they would have to consider the other count charging the assault, The defendant, it appeared, had at ono tittle been represented, wrongly, it seemed, as a Roman Ca tholic priest. It was, ho thought, a melancholy tact that after some 25 years, during vs hich they had been endeavouring to treat their Roman Catholic tellow-sub jects as brethren, and with every consideration and kindness as fellow-citizens, that all the differences that had existed between Protevants and Catholics were el)ing away, it was a melancholy fact, he thought, that a circumstance should have arisen on the part of the Roman Catholic body which it was to be hared would have the effect not only of retard ing the promotion of the feelings of amity which had taken root, and the amelioration of their supposed dis abilities, but of throwing them back at least half a cell.. tury in the divisions of religious feeling. The jury, in dealing with this case, had nothing to do with that; they were not to uphold Protestants against Catholics, or consider in any way what the parties were. The question was, had the defendant exceeded his duty as a schoolmaster, and had he thereby transgressed the law? He then carefully reviewed the evidence, and left the jury to say whether either and which of the counts of the indictment they thought established. The jury found the defendant Guilty of a common assault, but under aggravated circumstances. Mr. PARRY said ill; cries of the children had been fre quently heard from the same school since this went-- rence; and it was clear the defendant was a person unfit to be in the position of a schoolmaster. The Learned JUDGE hoped the superiors of the school would never suffer anything of the kind to take place there again. He perfectly agreed with the verdict of the jury, and he was not at all disposed to think that the defendant's conduct bad been influenced by any malicious motive; still his offence was one that the Court felt bound to mark with severity. He would any that in the opinion of the bench, the defendant ought never again to be allowed to 1111 the situation of schoolmaster, for it was quite clear that he had no mastery or control over his passions in his treatment of pupils. The defendant was then sentenced to three months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. Mr. PARRY said he was instructed to express the se. knowledgments of the authorities by whom the prosecu tion was conducted to Mr. Hinckley, for his exertions in this matter, and without which the defendant would never have been brought to justice. LIE ABOMINATIONS OF HOLY WELL- STREET.— William Dugdale, 52, was indicted for unlawfully procuring and having in his possession for the purpose of selling and disseminating divers obscene prints, books, and repre sentations. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prose eution, instructed by the Society for the Suppression of Vice, and Mr. Sergeant Chadwick Jones and Mr. Met calfe appeared for the prisoner. Mr. CLARKSON shortly opened the case to the jury. It appeared from the evidence that on the 24 of Sep ;ember, from information they had received, Inspector Lewis, of the Thames Police, and an officer of Custcms, and Sergeant Chadwick, of the F division of the Metro pclitan Police, went to Holy well-street, Strand, for the purpose of making a search at the shops 16 and 37, kept by the prisoner in that street. The result of their search iu the latter was the seizure from various parts of the premises, including the shop-window, of a large quantity of French lithographic prints, some lithographic stones ready for the press, copper plates, books, coloured engravings, &c., th© whole of which were of a most dis gusting and abominable description. Ultimately they took away from the premises 882 books, 3.870 prints, 110 catalogues ; 9 lithe graphic stones, several copper plates, and 16 cwt. and 9 lbs. of letter-press unsewn, al together two heqry Cllt-locals. A number of them were produced in court and submitted to the jury. Mr. Sergeant JoNEs, !lice offering some objections which were overruled, addressed the jury for the pli soner. Ho was not, he said, exerting hunteit to pr,cure :he escape from justice of a man wile had been imoru mental in circulating such filth as had bee., produced, eta his duty was to see that the evidence given was such Is to justify the jury in ct nvietif g the pihouer, and to satisfy the provisior.s of the law. lie commented on the evidence, and urged tha*, in point of fact, the case was not made out. The Learned JUDGE, in slimming up, said ant if the prisoner had indecent prints in his post esion with the in tendon of selling them, he was guiliy of an (Irene.) igainst the law. The jury would have, therefore, to be satisfitd that the books and prints produced were indc co•nt, and that the prisons: had them in his possession with intent to sell, publish, and disseminate them. Ho said no doubt possibly could bo entertained as to their being indecent, and after remarking that a quantity of them was found in a room which at. It ast was me adjunct of the shop, with labels affixed, denoting the prices at which they could be purchased, ho asked them if that was sufficient to show that he had them with intent to sell them. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Sergeant JONES then moved in arrest of judg. ment ; but The Learned JUDGE said be should not respite the sentencr, but leave the prisoner to his writ of error; and further, he would con:ider the matters urged by the prisoner's counsel, and state before Michaelmas term whether he would grant a case for the court of criminal appeal._ . Mr. CLARKSON urged, in aggravation, that the pri soner had been convicted of this offence three times pre viuusly. Ile had been engaged in the disgusting traffic since 1825, and there was no doubt that he was the prime circulator of publications of this character, and that it was he, who supplied the abomination to the re tail dealers in the metropolis. The Learned JUDGE saint, the prisoner had been con victed, on the clearest evi! - lence, of a Nery serious offence, and he was very old in this species of clime. As to liolywell-street, he would say Loling on that occasion, further than that this ought to have been a pa rish prosecution, and the parish authorities Ought not to have zuffered this great abomination to exist so long as it had done. no heard that the parish autho rities had held a meeting, at which he was censured ti r what he hid said from that seat with regard to New castle-court, but let the authorities of this grossly mis conducted parish leek to themselves. If report were true, Newcastle -tour;, hod been elear..d to cons( vence of what he said, and he hoped the same would be the result with regard to Holy well-street, by the abomina tions of which the morality of the who!e population of the metropolis was affected. He then sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned in the Howe of Corrction for two years, on each count of the iridic'irioat, each OAR.. naencing and terminating at the same time, and to find afterwards sureties, himself in 501., and two others in 25/. each, to be of good behaviour for cue year farther. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT CHATHAM, SEPT. 24 Another fire, resulting in the destruction of two houses, and injury of others, occurred at Chatham this morning. It was discovered shortly before one o'clock raging in the rear of the premises, No. 29, Gibraltar-place, New-road, a house re cently occupied by Mrs. Strong. A strong body of Royal Marines were dispatched from the barracks, and under the command of Colonel Pilcher and Colonel Powell rendered very efficient service ; but owing to a short supply of water, the principal part beieg supplied from a brewery in the neighbourhood, the fire did considerable damage to the pro perty contiguous, the house, No. 27, is the occupation of Mr. Wcstacott, o f the Loan-office, sustaining much injury in the rear of the premises, as also h.. 1 No. 30, occupied by Mrs. Wardle. The property destroyed is insured in the Sun and Ph main Fire-offices.
