GERMANY. The New Prussian Gazette publishes the following as the text of a note addressed by Lord Palmerston, on the 13th ult., to the British Minister to the Ger manic Confederation : " My Lord,—The Government of her Majesty can not understand by what reason the Germanic Confe deration imagines that the resolution of September, 1834 (the occupation of Frankfort by the Prussian and Austrian troops), could be considered as a reply to the protestation made by her Majesty's Govern ment in July, 1851. In fact, the military occupa tion of the free city of Frankfort, to which the re solution of 1834 applied, was an object quite dif ferent from the projecte d incorporation of the Austrian and Prussian provinces, against which your note of the 9th July protested. To that must be added, that although the objections of the British Cabinet against the events of 1834, and those more recent against the project of 1851, were well founded, yet the Federal resolution of September, 1834, re ceived a complete and peremptory reply in the note of Mr. Cartwright, of the 21st November of the . same year, and your Excellency acted wisely when, to in re plying to the communication of a resolution, come s eventeen years since, and foreign to the matter in discussion, you immediately sent the copy of the reply made at the time. Toe Gove rnment of her Majesty has nothing present to add on the subject of the mili tary occupation of Frankfort i n 1834, and as the Germanic Diet has no t replied to the protestation hich the British Cabinet recently made against the incorporation of territory into the coli . federation, which was not included by the treaty of V ienna of 1815, in which Great Britain took part, her Majesty's Govern ment does not think proper to say anything more at present on the subject. I have the honour, &c." The political commercial commission of the Ger manic Diet has decided that the Congress which has been c onvoked shall be called on to discuss all the ques tions agitated in the conferences of Dresden, and not merely the projected treaty drawn up by the special conference at Dresden. A new treaty for the international guarantee of literary property was signed, on the 21st inst., by the plenipotentiaries of the two Governments of France And of Hanover, in the capital of the latter kingdom. The Chambers of Saxony are convoked for the Ist of December. KOSSUTH. (From the Scotsman.) Far more than enough is popularly and certainly known to justify the bestowal of a cordial and . honouring welcome on Louis Kossuth. There as little truth as taste in the mode in which the T imes seeks to handle this point. "What would we sa3 . T, says Baron Brunnow's mouthpiece, " if M r. Smith O'Brien effected his escape from Botany Bay and was received with a congratulary address by the c?rpo ration of New York ? Yet Mr. Smith O' Brien is, in the eyes of hosts of Irishmen and Americana, as per secuted and honest a patriot as the late dictator of the Magyars." The answer to any su ch trash as this is very easy. Let people of New York or any where else that are so inclined p a y honours to Smith O'Brien—and let the world judge both of them and their hero. One of O'Brien's colleagues did escap e , and did receive honours in America ; but does any body, for that, believe that the payers of th ose ho nours represented th e American people, or that the receiver of them is a hero and a martyr ? D o es any s ane man in the civilised world even pretend to be lieve that O'Brien is a counterpart of Kossuth, or " Young Ireland " of the Magyars ? In all respects the contrast is, as we may say, ludicrously violent. Ireland, whatever may have been the case in former times, has for many years (with the exception of an alien Church, of which Mr. O'Brien was a member and supporter) enjoyed an equality with the rest of the kingdom as to laws and liberties, and many and valuable exemptions as to taxation ; at the very time of Mr. O'Brien's ex ploits she had received from the other divisions of the kingdom gifts of a munificence unparalleled in his tory ; and so little was " the insurrection" a national movement that, after months of preparation and menace, it was suppressed by a police-constable. Hungary was attempted to be robbed of her ancient constitution and liberties ; and so truly national was the resistance that in a few weeks the armies of her invaders and oppressors were driven across the frontier, and but for the intervention of a colossal power, the victory would have been permanent and its fruits secured. Corporal Trant, and Haynau —2O policemen, and 400,000 Austrian soldiers— Widow Callaghan's cabbage-garden, and the many blood-dyed fields of Hungary and Transylvania— Kossuth presiding over Parliaments and directing armies, and O'Brien getting his eyes blackened at tea parties and creeping about in ditches—are contrasts which all may understand. The Times' argument is nothing better than this—that because there was folly, knavery, and cowardice in Ireland, there could be no wisdom, nor honesty, nor bravery in Hungary—that because the names of freedom and patriotism are often profaned, no such things exist. There is still another reason why we may feel safe in honouring Kossuth—a short-hand mode of deci phering the whole question. Scarcely a singly man of English name and nature will deny that the rulers of Russia, Austria, and Naples are the enemies—the brutal and blood dyed enemies—of everything that Englishman and freemen hold dear. See, then, what they think of Kossuth—see how they raged and trembled, when, stripped of all save his tongue and pen, he walked forth from the Turkish prison. We are not likely to go far astray by honouring what they hate—the man must have something in him both good and great, whose name, even in exile and flight, is, in the serf-guarded palaces of Petersburgh and Vienna, a sound of fear. IRELAND. POOR RATES IN CARLOW. DUBLIN, SATURDAY.—The following letter from the Earl of Bessborough was circulated among his Lordship's tenantry resident within the electoral divi sion of Garryhill. It refers to the rate struck on that division which wss subsequently reduced on the application of Mr. Biackett ; and his Lordship's observations apply with equal force to other districts of the country were strange labourers are encouraged : " Ihssborough, Oet. 3. "* * 4 I understg.md that the guardians of the Carlow Union have found it necessary to strike a rate of 6s. in the pound upon the Garryhill division. I regret this very much, but am not surprised at it ; instead of receiving any assistance from the rate payers in keeping down the rates, I have found that the more I did to lessen the rates the more they have done to increase them. I gave money to tenants unable to hold their land, on condition of their leaving the country. They were taken in as lodgers until their money was spent, and are now a charge upon the division. I have during the last four years given very exten sive employment in draining, and found work for as many of the poor of the division as I could. The farmers, on the contrary, have generally employed whom are now ch argea bl e upon strangers, mlny of them. They can, therefore, only blame themselves for the heavy rate they will now have to pay. If they would have listened to the repeated warnings which I have conveyed to them, their rate would now, probably, have not been one-half of what it is. In addition to this, the ratepayers in Miltown and Straduff have been continually bringing strangers and lodgers, for many of whom the Garryhill divi sion are now apying. "If the farmers are anxious to lighten the rate they had better at once discharge the strangers that they are employing, and employ their own poor. If they do thiQ, I shall be ready, also, to set some work on foot. If they do nut, I am only wasting money in my endeavours to assist the, and the result of a con tinuance in their present course must be a constantly increasing rate. THE CON " BESSBOROCGLI."

It is the intention of her Majesty's Government to submit a measure to Parliament with this object early next session. "In the meantime my Lords are prepared to adopt the following course in anticipation of the measure to be submitted to Parliament : "The Poor-law Commissioners in Ireland are au thorized to direct the treasurer of any union in Ire land to retain i❑ his hand any sum which he may have received from, or on account of, an electoral division in which the expenditure for the relief of the poor in the year ending September 29, 1851, has amounted to 4s. in the pound on the valuation then in force, assd not to pay over to the Paymaster of Civil Services in Ireland the annuity due from such electoral division for the current year ; and where the annuity for the current year, added to such expenditure, amounts for any electoral division to a sum exceeding 4s. in the pound on such valuation, to pay over to the Pay master of Civil Services such sum only, in respect of the annuity, as, together with the charge for relief of the poor i❑ the past year, will amount to 4s. in the pound, and to retain the remainder in his own hands. " Her Majesty's Government will propose to Par liament that the sum so retained in respect of the annuities due for the current year shall be entirely remitted." BANK OF FRANCE.

TRANSPORTATION OF A FORTUNE TELLER. A woman, named Charlotte Morris, aged 39 years, was indicted at the Southampton quarter-sessions last week, for having, on the 18th of July last, feloniously and unlawfully received 55., the property of Isaac Blandford, well knowing the same to have been fe loniously stolen, and further with inciting Mary Anne Blandford to commit the same felony. It appeared that the woman had been what is commonly called a fortune-teller, and some time in the course of the year a girl by the name of Anne Blandford was most im prudently taken to the house of this woman, and sub sequently WAS in the habit of going to have her for tune told. About the middle of July the girl was talking to the woman about the Exhibition, when she expressed her desire to see it. The woman asked her if she or her father had any money, and she answered that her father had some ; she eventually went to her father's house, and took from his hard-earned savings between 51. and 6/. She went back to the prisoner's house, and asked Ler advice respecting her visit to London, and put down ss. ou the table whilst the prisoner turned her face to the wall, as she said she would neither see nor touch any money, whether it was a sovereign or a shilling, until the girl had gone out of the house, and then she could say with a Blear conscience that she had never taken anything from her; but it was proved sufficiently for the ends of justice that she had received the money, as she gently moved the money away. The woman asked her if any one had seen her enter the house, and she answered that she thought not; when she was let out, she went home for the money she had left behind, but on her way she was met by her father, who took her upstairs, and she told a woman named Elcock the whole circumstances of the case. When they returned to the fortune-teller's house, the money was found to have bee❑ pushed further along the table under a piece of needlework. It appeared that the girl had been watched, and her little sister having discovered the money which her elder sister had left upon the bed, hail told her father of it, and thus the plot was stopped, and they, on going to the house of the prisoner, found the 53. she was now charged with stealing. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The Recorder said the offence was one of such a very serious character that he should consider it his duty to inflict the highest penalty the law allowed ; the sentence of the Court was that she be transported beyond the seas for the space of 14 years. The prisoner, on receiving her sentence, immediately fainted. A SERIO-COMIC BLUNDER. Mr. Ayton, one of the principal corn merchants of Newcastle, and Mr. Joseph Swan, were walking arm-in-arm, on Saturday last, when a voice loudly exclaimed "That's the man." The speaker, a woman from Lanchester, in this county, whose husband is (or formerly was) a common carrier in connexion with Sunderland, fastened upon Mr. Ayton, and accused him of having, a few days before, robbed her of 6/. Mr. Swan assured her that Mr. Ayton was a respectable gentleman, and incapable of any act of the kind—she must therefore be mistaken. "0, no ! she was not mistaken ; he was the man and Mr. Swan was doubtless no better than his com ' pany !" The result was, that a Lanchester police man, whom she had brought over to Newcastle, re quested the attendance of Mr. Ayton before a magis trate. The parties were now in the Corn Exchange, where the woman's accusation prduced much excite ment and not a little merriment, the alleged offender being generally known, and the unlikeliest man in the world to be the subject of such a charge. The police man had no warrant and no jurisdiction; yet Mr. Ayton, in the excess of his courtesy, consented to ac company him, and they all went before G. H. Ram say, Esq. (the woman accompanied by her husband). It then appeared that the complainant, a few days bank before,b was in Newcastle, and applied at the district sopu a ffoc n sec k areid f sw o ft r aos cha nge for Irish provincial notes.

The ordinary notion entertained of an emigrant, we believe to be, that he is a man with a wife and four or five children, setting out for a distant part of the world where ho can get land for next to nothing, be lord of all he surveys within the range of a hundred acres, more or less, cut down the trees that grow upon his domain in order to build a house, grub up the roots for firewood and sow corn in their place. Few, however, but those who actually intend to emigrate trouble themselves to consider what is to be done with the crop of corn when it comes. The first impression would be—to eat it—but then arises the question, in what form? Its conversion into flour will be a necessary preliminary; but not a very easy one to accomplish, unless he and those who accompany him as fellow-adventurers, take the machinery for grinding it with them. They will find no facilities for sending it to the parish mill, among the red Indians in the back settic ments of America, or the flesh-loving natives of the South Sea Islands. The only course appears to be to take a mill with them; and the selec tion of one must, we apprehend, be a very important matter with the emigrant. Of course we are speaking of a hand-mill. The chief p o i n t s t o b e k e pt i n v i ew i n purchasing one will necessarily be simplicity of ma chinery, so that it may be easily kept in order, and that it may act with the least expenditure of power. The latter point seems to have received much attention by Messrs. Huxhams and Brown, founders and engineers, at . Exeter; who have regist e red a mill whi c h is k e pt i n action by a lateral motion, similar to that of a rower in a boat, and not by the old laborious rotatory motion which involves so great a waste of power. In the de scription given of this mill by its inventors it is stated that "a bushel of wheat may be ground by it in an hour, to make fine flour; that the corn can be ground and dressed at the same time, or separately; and that the mill is not liable to get out of repair."—Kentish Mercury CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Alexander Gordon John Bishop, a young man of gentlemanly appearance, surrendered to take his trial upon a charge of misdemeanour. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Robinson appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Parry was counsel for the de fendant. Mr. CLARKSON, in opening the case, said that the defendant, who, he understood, was a clergyman of the Church of England, was charged with a misde meanour under the Pawnbrokers' Act, and another statute having reference to the same object, in having unlawfully made a false declaration before a magis trate, upon the subject of some property that had been pledged by him at the shop of Messrs. Vaughan and Cotterell, pawnbrokers in the Strand, the declaration implying that he had lost the original duplicate re lating to the property. The prosecution was insti tuted by a person named Cupett, who, it appeared, had been on intimate terms with the defendant, and who bad advanced him two different sums of money upon the security of the duplicates in question, and these duplicates were in his possession at the time the defendant made the declaration, which was alleged to be false. The effect of the declaration made by the defendant was to enable him to obtain the property from the pawnbrokers, and the present charge was under those circumstances preferred by the prosecutor against him. Mr. H. P. Cupett deposed that he carried on the business of an oilman at Hoxton, and he had for some time been acquainted with the defendant, who, he believed was a clergyman, and they had money trans actions together. In August and September, 1850, he received from the prisoner two duplicates, oue re ferring to a pistol and case, and the other to two guns and a case, all of which articles had been pledged at the shop of Messrs. Vaughan and Cotterell, and at the request of the prisoner he lent him money to the amount of five or six pounds upon the security of these duplicates, which it was understood he was to retain i❑ his possession until the money he had ad vanced was repaid to him. At the time the prisoner made the declarations to the pawnbroker the dupli cates were still in his possession, and the defendant must have been aware of the fact. The prosecutor was subjected to a very severe cross-examination by Mr. Parry, and in the course of it he said that he had received other duplicates from the prisoner as security for money he advanced him, and among them were some that related to pic tures. He redeemed one of those pictures, and sold it for 181, but the prisoner now charged him with having done so improperly, and without his autho rity. He believed the prisoner was very respectably connected, and that he expected to come into posses sion of a considerable fortune. He had been to races twice with the prisoner, but he did i not remember in troducing him to Mr. Broome" at Ascot. He had been to Mr. Broome's public-house, but he knew no thing about him. When they were at Ascot the pri soner gave an I. 0. U. for 2001. to a person named Foster, and he gave him one also for the same amount. He believed that this money was lost in betting upon the odd and even numbers on the race-cards, and it had nothing whatever to do with the horses. Foster had asked him whether Bishop was "worth anything," and he told him be believed that he expected some property. They were both very much intoxicated and did not know how the money was lost. Foster came for the money for the I. 0. U. the next morn ing, and the prisoner gave him a bill of exchange for his 1. 0. U. This bill afterwards got into the pos. session of Mr. Broome, who sued the prisoner upon it. Witness was subpoenaed as a witness for the de fendant, to prove the circumstances under which the bill was given, but the matter was arranged, and the defendant consented to the verdict passing against him. The RECORDER inquired who Broome was ? The prosecutor said he was a publican. Mr. PARRY asked if he was not something else also ? The prosecutor said he did not know. In answer to further questions put to him, he said he had been twice indicted for keeping a brothel, but was acquitted on both occasions; and he said that the first time he was indicted no evidence was offered against him, and he was told that he had been very ill used. He admitted that he had paid the rent and taxes when a distress was put in to one of the houses he was charged with keeping, and that he told the broker the house belonged to him ; but he said he only did so to oblige a lady whom he bad met at Jersey, and who in reality was the keeper of the house. He also said that he had opposed the prisoner in the Bankruptcy Court, and that a person named Alfred Mortimer Job, who was a moneylender, wes also a creditor, and made a large claim against the prisoner's estate, which the prisoner resisted on the ground that it was a fraudulent claim. He deaied that this person was the real prosecutor of the present indictment, or that he had ever said that it Bishop was convicted of perjury Job would get the whole of his claim allowed. He had no recollection of having said so, but would not swear positively that he had not. A letter was then put in, in which the prisoner applied to the prosecutor for the duplicates, stating that he wanted particularly to have them. Ni answer, it appeared, was sent to this letter for three weeks, and the prosecutor then told the prisoner that ho had left out the tickets for him, and he could have them when he chose to call for them. James Hitchcock, the shopman to Messrs. Vaughan and Co., proved that the prisoner obtained the declarations from him, and that he signed them in his presence. In answer to a question put by Mr. Parry, the witness said he would not undertake to say that the prisoner did not tell him, in addition to the usual statement that the duplicates had been lost or mislaid, that they were fraudulently detained from him. Mr. CIARKSON was about to call further evidence, when The RECORDER, interposed, and said it appeared to him that there was no proof that the defendant had wilfully stated what was false in declaring that the duplicates were lost or mislaid. The evidence upon that point rested entirely upon the testimony of the prosecutor, and be thought the jury would hardly like to rely upon the evidence of such a person as he had represented himself to be. Mr. CLARKSON said that he felt the difficulty sug gested by his Lordship. He had some other witnesses to call, but he did not think their evidence would alter the aspect of the case. The RECORDER said that if the jury wished to heaa more of the case they might do so, but it was clear, that unless they could place reliance upon the testi mony of the prosecutor, the prisoner ought not to be convicted. The jury said they were of opinion that they could not place reliance upon the prosecutor's evidence. Mr. PARRY begged to be allowed to state on behalf of the defendant, that he never intended to make any false statement with regard to the matter. He as serted that the duplicates were fraudulently withheld from him by the prosecutor, and it was upon this ground that he felt himself justified in making the declarations in order that he might regain possession of his property. A verdict of Not Guilty was then taken, and the prisoner was ordered to be at once discharged. Frecharr Von Forster, 25, a Bavarian, described ou asf En a soldier, w as i n di cte d f or steal i ng three 201. Bank of En gland no t es, t h e property of William Peter Jrd an, in the dwelling-house of Thomas Quarter maine. Mr. Parry prosecuted. The prisoner, who is unable to speak English, would have been without any professional assistance but for the kind interference of the sheriffs, at whose instance Mr. Wollett watched the case on his behalf. The facts of this case have been given very recently in the police reports. Th e p rosecutor, who is a mer chant, and a native of Oldenb urg, was staying at Yorkthe Hotel, Bridge-street, Blackeners, kept by czuartermaine, and the prisoner was also an in- EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 1851. mato of the hotel at the same time. It appeared that the prisoner met M. Jourdon at the Argyll Rooms on the night of the 27th September, and he intro duced himself to him as staying at the same hotel, and ascertained from him the number of his room, and the prisoner soon afterwards %vent away. The prosecutor did not return to the hotel until the following morning, and he then found, upon examin ing a box in his bedroom, that three 201. notes, part of a large sum of money that he had placed there the day before, had been stolen. The evidence clearly established the fact of the prisoner being the guilty party, as it was proved that he went to Anderton's Hotel, in Fleet-street, immediately after the robbery must have been committed, and there changed one of the stolen notes, and made a representation that he was going away by the South-Eastern Railway ; it appeared that instead of doing so, he took up his abode at Dubourg's Hotel in the Haymarket, where he was apprehended by Weale, the officer. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The Court was informed that there was very good ground for believing that the prisoner had been car rying on a regular system of plundering guests at hotels in different parts of the country, and the Re corder therefore deferred passing sentence, in order that further inquiries might be made respecting the prisoner and his pursuits. No trial of any interest took place in the New Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. John Hogan was charged with having violently as saulted his wife. The complainant, who had not very long lost en excellent husband, described the treatment she received from the defendant as likely, if continued a little longer, to make her follow the former to the grave ; and a policeman who witnessed the outrage and took the assailant into custody, not only confirmed her testimony, but proved an assault upon hi mse lf, in flicted no doubt because he interfered to save her from still greater violence. The LORD MAYOR sentenced the defendant to im prisonment for seven days ; and soon afterwards the fellow was brought again before his Lordship, charged with having knocked his wife down when she went to speak to him upon his departure from the cell in which he had been confined at the Mansion-house. The LORD MAYOR directed that the complainant should at the end of the imprisonment of her husband, appear against him, and stated that the defendant must, at that time, give bail for his good conduct for three months. A young man named William Collins was charged with having attempted to destroy himself. A policeman said—l saw the defendant sitting on one of the seats on London-bridge for some time, and asked him why he did not go home. He said it was his intention to sit there until midnight, when all would be quiet, and he would then take a turn over the bridge into the water. I spoke to him about the folly of such a thing, but he said there was no use in talking to him, as he was determined to fling himself into the water. I then took him to the station-house, on our way he said be had robbed his master and been deserted by his friends, and had no chance of getting into any place in this world. Another policeman said, the defendant had been taken before the magistrate at Worship-street, charged with having endeavoured to cut his throat. The LORD MAYOR—And what story did he tell there ? Policeman—He said just the same thing, and the magistrate discharged him, believing he would not attempt anything of the kind again. The LORD MAyou—Then we have every reason to believe that his object is to excite sympathy. A great many persons are in the habit of visiting the re cesses of London-bridge for the purpose of moving compassion, and with the view to check the practice I shall commit the defendant if he do not produce bail to keep the peace for three months.—Committed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Charles Palmer, a lad in the employ of Messrs. Burgoyne, solicitors, Oxford• street, was charged with having stolen a sovereign belonging to his masters. Mr. Burgoyne said the prisoner had been in his service for about 18 months. He had frequently missed money from a drawer in the office, but for a length of time was unable to find out the thief. The robbery was the more mysterious from the fact of the drawer being furnished with one of Chubb's patent detector locks; and though it was evident the drawer must have been opened in order to get at the money, yet the lock presented no appearance of having been tampered with. On missing the sovereign an in spection of the drawer took place, and the discovery was made of a small crack on one side, which enabled a person, by the application of strong pressure, to release the bolt of the lock from the hasp, and then to shut in the bolt again so as to leave all in proper order. The lad, when given into custody, at first denied his guilt, but afterwards admitted he had made the discovery of the way in which the drawer could be opened, and had availed himself of it more than Once. The prisoner was fully committed. CLERKEN WELL. John La,, the driver of a fly carriage, was charged with being drunk and furiously driving over Mary Ann Harris, a middle-aged woman, by which her life is in danger. It appeared that on Sunday night, at twenty minutes past ten o'clock, the injured woman was car rying her child in her arms and crossing the road in Pratt-street, Somers -town, with her nephew, when she was knocked down by the prisoner's vehicle, and the wheels passed over her, by which she was seriously injured and her life placed in danger. The prisoner's defence was that he was driving a spirited horse and he endeavoured to pull up,,_but could not prevent the accident. Sergeant Wilkes said the prisoner was very dr un k. surgeons certificate was produced, which stated the AS precarious condition of the injured woman. Mr. COMBS remanded the case for a week, when the fate of the woman will be made known. SOUTH WARK. Susan Martin, the wife of a tradesman residing in Broad-wall, was charged with attempting to commit suicide. A policeman stated that the prisoner was found on Saturday evening on the step of a door in the street, apparently in a dying state, and when questioned she admitted that she had taken poison. He therefore lost no time in conveying her to a sur geon in the neighbourhood, who pronounced that she had swalloweda quantity of laudanum, and the sto mach-pump being brought into requisition she reco vered from the effects of the dose she had taken. It appeared that she had procured the laudanum by pur chasing small quantities at different chemists' shops, until she got enough, she supposed, to answer her purpose, and then swallowed the whole. The husband was then called, and the first thing he did was to produce a bundle of pawnbrokers' du plicates, saying that she had nearly ruined him owing to her propensity for liquor. He was compelled to leave her some time ago, and allowed her U. a week to live upon, besides giving her furniture to furnish a room. Mr. A'BECZETT said that the husband of such a woman was to be pitied. He should remand her for a week, and in the meantime the husband would have an opportunity of consulting with his friends, and making some arrangement as to her future disposal in the event of her being discharged. In the course of the day Mrs. Johnson, a lady who has interested herself in a very benevolent manner on behalf of the two poor women named Suban, relative to whom an application was made a few days since, attended for the purpose of explaining some circum stances in allusion to their case, and to a letter which appeared in the newspapers from Lord Lansdowne on the subject. The applicant stated that, having seen the Marquis of Lansdowne's letter in the newspapers, she considerd it only an act of justice on the behalf of the two sisters Suban to attend before Mr. A'Beckett to explain some inaccuracie3 which appeared in the former report of their application at that court. She then proceeded to describe that the father of the two women did not live as butler in Lord Lansdowne's family, but served in that capacity to Dr. Taylor, of Kenmare, and that after their parents' death they lived in a cabin on his Lordship's estate in the county of Kerry ; that they inhabited the cabin up to the time of their quitting Ireland about two months ago, and that it was under the advice of Mr. Townsend, Lord Lans downe's agent, that they left their native place, Ken mare, and embarked at Cork to come over to this country under the supposition that they would be enabled to make out a livelihood here; that Mr. Townsend paid their passage for them; and that they had documents to prove that, and also a letter from the Rev. Mr. Godfrey, the rector of Kenmare, re commending them as decent, well-conducted women, and entitled to the sympathy of the benevolent. She into the applicant) had made the most strict inquiries the characters of both the sisters, and had ascertained beyond doubt that they were not impostors, but were the persons they represented themselves to be, and for many their parents as well as themselves b a d lived many years on the estate of the Marquis of Lans downe, in the county of Kerry. The applicant added, that the two poor women had since le f t for Ireland, and that her object in making the presen t application i was for the purpose of acquainting his Lordship of the real circumstances, and disabusing his mind as to the unfortunate women being impostors , such anim putation upon their characters being sufficient to de stroy their future prospects in life if left uncon tradicted. Mr. ATECHETT said that Lord Lansdowne in his note had:contradicted the assertions as to a man named Suban ever having been in his service as butler, or of such a person ever living on his estatesin the county of Cork; his Lordship disclaimed ever having pos sessed an estate in that county. He (the magistrate), from the manner of the two women when before him, was prejudiced in their favour, and believed that they were not impostors, otherwise he would not have in terested himself in procuring their removal back to Ireland as he did ; that he should write to his Lord ship, acquainting him of the explanations given by the applicant, in order that the matter might be set right, and that what previously occurred might not operate to the disadvantage of the two sisters when they got back to Ireland. The applicant having thanked the magistrate, then withdrew. sonable orders of this court by such fines as will force attention to their duties. Ilere we have ben half suffocated during the last two hours this morning by the windows being closed. There are a great num ber of persons here, and I shall mark my sense of the disobedience very strongly, because I don't think it is the business of the judge to waste his time with a matter such as this. (The court-keeper, John Whiteside, then appeared.) The JUDGE—Court-keeper, why didn't you open the door ? The keeper—l had no orders. The JUDGE—Do you mean to say you had no orders ? The keeper—l considered it was very cold this morning. The JUDGE—CoId this morning, with a crowded court like this! I shall impose a fine of 103. for not attending to my orders, repeatedly given on this sub ject. It must be very uncomfortable and unpleasant to every one in court. I shall inflict a fine of ten shillings for not attending to my orders on this sub ject, and teach you to attend to my orders in future, which have been now neglected without any justifi able ground whatever. I think fresh air is essential to life and health. I nearly lost my life by confinement in close courts, and I don't intend to have it again. By keeping the windows closed you are endangering my health, and I consider that a serious matter. En force that fine, Mr. Statham. The business of the court then proceeded, and in the course of the next case the Judge corrected a mis taken notion which, he said, generally prevailed. He said it was generally supposed that the law was a system of chicanery. It was, however, the result of the deliberations of the wisest men and the essence of good sense. It was only very silly people who chose to consider the rules of law as mere chicanery. These remarks were addressed to a young man who appeared on the plaintiff's side, but was unable to support his case by what the Judge deemed sufficient and reasonable evidence. It was," he continued, " a monstrous thing to come into that court, and state things as facts which the witness had no knowledge of. Was he to saddle a party with a debt because there might be great difficulty in finding him ? You (addressing himself to the witness) choose to come here and waste my time,,by bringing a case before me in which there is not a scrap of evidence. You have not stated one single fact, except that you served a notice, and just look what a thing it would be in this or any other court of justice. I might as well go and serve a notice on any gentleman sitting in this court, and bring an action against him, because I served a notice upon him. This is part and parcel of a system which I have put down, and will take care not to set up again." The witness attempted to explain. The JUDGE—You don't know anything about it. You are a mere collector of debts. What you are doing is highly improper. You are playing with a dangerous weapon, because it is necessary for you and others in this court to know this—l have powers —and though they be novel, though persona in this town don't like powers which are novel, which they have never heard of before—l intend to exercise those powers, whether they be novel or ordinary. If there is a new system of law, it, is a strange reason for not exercising its rules because they are novel. I can tell you (the witness) the Act of Parliament gives me power, not only to order a prosecution, but to commit parties immediately for trial—to commit them to gaol till the next assizes for perjury ; and I tell you that is the power that I intend to exercise. There were some cases in the last court in which I shall exer cise that power. I don't intend to sit here and have the moral responsibility of allowing these parties to state that which is not true. It would be a very dangerous thing to do, and one which might be attended with very serious consequences. I don't suppose you (witness) acted from any such motive. I don't suppose you are conscious of impropriety in that which you are doing; but it is highly improper in a man to come into a court of justice and take an oath in a witness box, and state that which is not true. I don't think you had any such intention—because I am inclined to think you are a respectable person, who did not think, in saying what you did, that you were guilty of any offence—to come here and make a statement such as you made, as if you could speak to facts merely because some person told you. Therefore I shall not order a prosecution in your case. But re collect, an oath imposes this, not to state what you have heard, but what you know. It is improper to waste the time of the Court. In concluding his re marks, the Judge declared his intention to require reasonable evidence in every case. He sat there for that purpose, and any person in town would be just as good a judge as he was himself if he received mere tittle-tattle. He told the witness to stand down, and if he did not prove the case satisfactorily, the next step he took he (the Judge) should certainly nonsuit him. The case must be proved by reasonable evidence. Some private conversation then took place with the clerk of the court, and the Judge retired. THE FROME MURDER. Yesterday (Monday) was appointed for the exami natio❑ of Robert Hurd, William Sparrow, and Wil liam Maggs, the three persons charged with the viola tion and murder of Sarah 'Watts, at Woodlands, near this town, on the 24th September last. Sergeant Smith (the London detective officer) stated to the bench that he had that morning apprehended the other person suspected of being concerned with the prisoners in the murder, his name was Wm. Sergeant. The four prisoners were placed in the dock. The first witness examined was Sophia Cornish, whose husband keeps a beer-shop near the scene of the murder, and who deposed that on the morning of the tragedy she saw the four prisoners together, near West Woodlands. Ann Hiscocks gave similar evidence. Mary Francis deposed—My husband keeps the Horse and Groom public-house at West Woodlands. I recollect the murder being committed on the 24th of Sept. On the afternoon of the 13th Sept. the prisoner Sparrow was in my house. He stayed there between two and three hours. He had an old dirty silk handkerchief with him. On the 20th he came again. On that day I also saw the handkerchief in his possession. He had it in his hand. I was very close to him, and could see that it had some slits in it. He went out and left it on the settle, and whilst he was gone I examined it. I observed it well. I also saw it well when it was spread out over his knee. I believe I should know the handkerchief again. (The handkerchief was here produced. It agreed exactly with what witness had said, being ragged at the cor ners, and having two or three slits in it.) Witness continued—l am confident this is the same handkerchief I saw in Sparrow's hand on the 13th and 20th of Sept. I was talking to him, and there fore I had a good opportunity of seeing it, and I am sure this is the same handkerchief. The prisoner Sparrow—You never saw me with that handkerchief. I never had it. James Hoddinott, constable of Frome—l produce the handkerchief. I found it on the table at the house where Sarah Watts was murdered. I first went to the house about half-past six on the 24th of I September. After I entered the house, the first thing I saw was a spot of blood below the fireplace, on the floor. I then looked on the table, and found the handkerchief I now produce. I examined it, and then put it into my pocket. I then saw two or three spo!s of blood on the wall. I then went into the milk house, and saw the floor all bloody—a large pool of blood lying all over the ground, just under a trundle, which was half full of whey, and it appeared to be bloody, as if some had been dipped out with something covered with blood. John Watts, father of the deceased, was then called. while eis a very o ld man , an d appeare d d ee ply effected giving his evidence. He said, my daughter was murdered on the 24th of September. I returned home on that day, about four o'clock. I observed the whey in the milk-house before I went out, and I also saw it when I came back. I then tipped the tub up con taining it, and I saw that' the water was bloody, as if something covered with blood had been dipped in it. John Butcher, saddler, of Frame, proved finding a bundle of clothes in a field, about two minutes' walk from Butt's-square, on the Tuesdayaftersix h o'clockte murder, i as he was going across the field, about the mor n ing. The clothes co r u o l a dno h t u h t masvoebe one musteenthrownn where they were from the road an , haveg These ot clothesover o a d n u d e e placed them deh tti h fi ee d re. by Mr. Watts as his property. He said they were stol en on the day his child was mu rdered. Thomas Desey, residi n g in Bu t s-square, said he knew all the prisoners. Sargent lived four doors from him. On the morning of the 30th of September, the morning on which the clothes were found, about half-past two o'clock, be heard some one pass his house, and come back again in half-an-hour. There was no thoroughfare up the square, only to the houses in it. The magistrates then remanded the prisoners until the Bth of November, when the depositions will be completed, and they will be fully committed.

A RETURNED mica CANT.--The IVaterford News states that an industrious Wexford farmer, Mr. Samuel Murphy, who some three or four years ago sold his farm and went to America, has just returned home, and again pur chased his old homestead for the purpose of residing in it. He advises no man to go to America who can make out a liying in Ireland, TUESDAY THE SAVOY COURT LEET. A court leet for the precinct of the Savoy was held yesterday, in the Vestry-room of St. Clement Danes, Strand, presided over by Arthur Edward Somerset, Esq., high steward, assisted by Willoughby, Esq., the high sheriff, and the burgesses. Mr. BROOYEB, the foreman of the leet jury, handed in their presentment, which stated that a house in Milford-lane, belonging to the Rev. Mr. Ellis, was in a ruinous and falling condition, and a common nui sance. The HIGH STEWARD inquired if the jury proposed to inflict any fine ? Mr. BROOKBS replied in the negative, thinking it sufficient to call :the attention of the Court to the matter. CONFLICT OF JURISDICTION. Mr. BROOKES then called the attention of the Court to the fact that some members of the leet jury had been summoned to attend the Westminster Ses sions, and wished to take the opinion of the Court on the subject. _ _ The HIGH STEWARD—We think this court has priority in the first instance. The question as to whether you are bound to attend the Middlesex Ses sions at all is quite a new one, and we must take time to consider it. As at present advised, lam in clined to think you must submit. Mr. BROOKES—But does that court take prece dence of this? The HIGH STEWARD—No ; I consider this court takes precedence. Mr. CLUNES (one of the jurors)—l attended the Westminster Sessions this morning and took an ob jection to the summons, stating that, being under the jurisdiction of the Duchy of Lancaster, I considered myself in a kind of extra-parochial position, and that if I served it must be under protest on the part of the duchy and my neighbours, and it was for the judge to decide whether he could enforce the law or not. His Lordship said the case was rather novel to him —that under the new Act the High Bailiff of West minster was entrusted with the duty usually per formed by the Sheriffs of Middlesex, so far as regarded Westminster, and that it was not yet a decided point. I pressed for a decision, on which his Lordship said as the matter stood at present if I did not serve be should fine me. I told him that I had received a summons to attend a court leet, and that if I neg lected to do so I should be fined there. His Lordship then said, " If you do not serve here I shall fine you, but if the High Bailiff attempts to enforce the fine he may get himself into a serious scrape. My duty is to fine you. However, I will permit you to go to the court leet, and state what I have said to the authorities of the Duchy of Lancaster ; but you must be here to morrow, otherwise I shall impose the fine." The in habitants of the Savoy look to this court to place them in a right position, for they cannot be expected to argue the matter every day. The HIGH STEWARD—The jurisdiction alluded to is quite a new one. The Middlesex Sessions is not confined to the city of Westminster, but takes in the whole of the western part of the county. It seems to me, if the jury is to be summoned for Middlesex, it must be done by the sheriffs, and not by Mr. Smed ley (the High Bailiff). Mr. CLurus—•My objection is, that we in the Savoy are under the jurisdiction of the Duchy of Lancaster, and not under the jurisdiction of the court at West minster. Doing service under the Duchy of Lan caster, we do not acknowledge the jurisdiction of Westminster to affect the Savoy. The judge said there was reason in the objection, and it might be law, but repeated that if I did not serve he should fine me. As an individual I cannot undertake the responsibility of trying an action. The HIGH STEWARD—The way to settle the question is this. When you are called upon to-mor row to serve say that we have discussed the question to-day, and are decidedly of opinion that the court leet summons has precedence over that of the Sessions Court at Westminster, and we also think that the court-leet summons exempts you altogether. If you are compelled to serve you must serve under protest. 01 course the attention of the duchy, who are the proper parties to entertain the question, will be called to it, and a decision will be obtained. It would be hard to throw the expense upon you, and if there is sufficient ground to go upon, the duchy, I apprehend, will try the question in the name of some of you gentlemen. Mr. CLUNES—I told the judge that if I did serve it would be under protest, and that neither the duchy nor my neighbours should be compromised in my person. The HIGH SHERIFF—The High Steward is of opinion at present that you should pay attention to the first summons you received. This being the only business the Court broke up. THE JUDGE OF THE LIVERPOOL COUNTY COURT. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY AFTERNOON.—Notwith ' standing the approaching inquiry before the Earl of Carlisle, at Preston, on the sth of next month, into the conduct of Mr. Ramshay, the judge of the Liver pool County Court, and the memorial from the in habitants, praying that a substitute should be ap pointed, or that the judge should not resume his sit ' tinge until the inquiry into the allegations against him had been decided, Mr. Ramshay took his seat on ' the bench this morning, precisely at twenty-five minutes to ten o'clock, and the ordinary business was immediately proceeded with. As the morning ad vanced the court became exceedingly crowded, the fact having become known that Mr. Ramshay was presiding in person, although it is understood that Lord Carlisle had enjoined that gentleman not to preside. In themselves the cases brought forward were of little interest, but the judge laid down an important rule for future guidance. In the case of Hopkinson n. Loscan, for the recovery of a balance of 25., the original debt being 4s. 6d., the judge said it was necessary to have some rule with regard to small debts. If tradesmen trusted poor people with such small sums, they acted very improperly. The Act of Par liament under which these courts were constituted was not intended to press poor people; on the contrary, he considered that the poor were a class peculiarly under the protection of his court. If some general rule were adopted with regard to those small claims, he thought it would not interfere with the business of the court, but prove very useful and beneficial. It occurred to him that this court was not to be turned to the purpose of enforcing such very small debts, because it seemed to him that the costs were vastly disproportionate to the amount sought to be reco vered. He thought it was really oppressive to poor men to have actions brought against them, and if people gave credit for such small amounts they must take the chance of getting them, if they came into this court, without costs. He (the Judge) asked what were the costs in this particular case ? Mr. Statham, the clerk, said 4s. 11d. The plaintiff said he should not have brought the case into court, but — The JUDGE said he was not making the slightest reflection upon the plaintiff; on the contrary, he thought he had acted very properly. The Act of Parliament gave him (the Judge) a discretionary power, which be should take care not to abuse. He should take care that that discretion was exercised in a manner which would be satisfactory, and not offen sive to the public. The rule which be should adopt would be that in actions for sums under 103. no costs should be given to the plaintiff, unless specifically granted, or unless it should be an action by a poor person to recover wages. lie should not allow per sons in a respectable sphere of life, like the plaintiff, to take the costs out of the pocket of the poor man. If there were dishonesty or fraud on the part of the defendant he should grant the plaintiff costs. Mr. Hopkins, the plaintiff in the case before the court, said he had received gross insult from the de fendant, who had thrown an apple at him. The JUDGE said then that was an exceptional case, and he should give Mr. Hopkins costs. People must be taught to act with civility ; and as long as he sat there he should endeavour to enforce it towards himself and everybody else. Insults of this kind he should always mark by giving costs. Persons must not be insulted when they asked for their just debts. In the next case the plaintiff sought to recover 4s. ld. This was a small debt coming under the category al luded to, but the Judge decided to grant the plaintiff costs in this case, because it appeared to him the debt had been contracted by fraud and misrepresentation. He considered it was a duty he owed to the people of this town, a duty which he should fulfil notwithstand ing any strictures in certain quarters. He would reprobate dishonesty from any quarter. He considered it one of his most solemn duties to do so, and he had always done so he hoped. The next interruption to the ordinary business was a complaint on the part of the Judge that the windows of the court were not open. " Whose duty," he asked, " is it to open these win dows ?" Mr. Statham—The duty of the keeper of the court. The JUDGE—I gave an order of a general nature, that the windows were to be opened, and I am not to waste my time and the time of the court by these in terruptions. Ido maintain that my orders shall be punctually carried out. I shall mark by fine all im proper conduct, whatever it may be. I shall in every instance inflict a fine, and a very severe one. I shall teach those patio who do not comply with the ;ea!
