The Risorgimento of Turin states that the judge cf the district of Avola, in Sicily, having espied some British vessels of war approaching the coast, prepared several tricoloured flags in order to place himself at the head of a popular movement ; but that, being denounced or discovered, he was arrested and taken to Palermo. As for the British vessels, they had made for Castelvetrano, owing to stress f weather; upon which the population, thinking they came to favour a movement, rose to the cry of " The Con stitution for aver ! Down with tyrants !" A com pany of the garrison was put to flight, and another disarmed, but nevertheless the movement was soon got under, and a court-martial named to judge the ringleaders. The Statuto of Florence of the 24th ult. says, that a special commission has been named at Rome to con sidwr the Piedwontese question. It is composed of Cardinals Antonelli, Lambruschini, Vizzardelli, Mon signor Santucci, and Canons Fioravanti and Pacifico. The Nationale of Florence, of the 23d ult., was seized on that day, in virtue of the new decree on the press, for an article against it. So strict were the orders given to the police agents that, in order to prevent the reproduction of the articles under any shape, the printing, machine was sealed for 24 hours, and the railtrain retarded an hour, in order to seize the proscribed number. The Conservatore of Florence is silent - on the subject of the new decrees ; the Statuto expresses its sorrow at the course pur sued by the Government, and protests in the name of the press against the allegation set forth in the de cree, viz., that the press had attacked publie order, religion, and thir tranquillity of private families. Letters from Rome state that Monsignor Amid, Commissary-General of the Marches, has been di rected to proceed to Verona and negotiate with Mar shal Radetzky, in order to obtain a diminution in the cost of maintaining the Austrian troops in the Roman States. 3IURDER, ROBBERY, and ARSON IN FRANCE A triple crime (says the Conciliateur de l'Aude) has been committed in the commune of Issel, be loe,g;eg to the arrondissement of Castelnaudary— iturd -r in order to commit robbery, and arson to deszroy ail proofs of the two former crimes. The pre sum-d culprits ale in the hands of justice. Toe full° wing details have transpired :—ln the night of Sept. 17, a fire broke out in the commune of Issel, and destroyed three houses and a barn, notwithstand leg the strenuous efforts of the population to arrest the progress of the disaste - r. The body of Franeoise Enguin, a widow, was taken from amidst the ruins in a state of semi-calcination. It was remarked that none of the copper or iron utensils, with which the housl of the widow was known to be furnished, could be round, and a suspicion arose that they bad been stolen. On the 20th September a ceremony took placeat which the whole population of the locality were anxious to be present; it was the burial of M. Ca banis, notary and mayor of the commune. Eugenie Auriol, granddaughter of Fran eoise Enguin, recog nised upon the head of Angelique Fabre, who was following the funeral procession, a coiffe which bad belonged to her grandmother, and immediately pro ceeded to declare this fact to the adjoint, who sum moned Angelique Fabre to appear before him, and questioned her as to how she became pos sessed of the coiffe. She replied that she had bought it of a man named Guilhem, and that they might search her house, for she was sure they would find nothing but what belonged to her. The adjoint, taking her at her word, proeeeded with the garde champitre and several other persons to the house of Angelique Fabre, where discovery was made of a bed with furniture complete, ten chemises, seven petti• coats, three jackets, two cauldrons, a saucepan, and a multitude of other articles which were re• cognised by her relations and neighbours as the property cf the widow Enguiin All these objects were deposited in the keeping of the mayor. On the 21st the Procureur of the Republic, the inves tigating magistrate, and the Lieutenant of the Gendarmerie repaired to Issel. Angelique Fabre was brought before them, and, if our information be cor rect, there stated that the furniture found in her house had belonged to the unfortunate widow, from w horn they had been stolen under the following circum stances. Angelique cohabited with a man named Bas tonille, living in the commune of St. Paulet. Being without furniture or linen, he asked her if she did not know of a house where he could obtain some, and she pointed' out that of the widow Enguin, a woman of 85, living by herself. It was agreed that she should be robbed and murdered, and that, after removing the goods, the house should be burnt. This plan appears to have been carried into effect. The body of the widow has been exhumed, but no positive traces indi cating the use of violence could be found, owing to the calcined state to which it was reduced. Ange lique Fabre was committed to the House of Deten tion, and on the 23d Bistonille was arrested, and forthwith confined in the same prison. ROYAL ARTILLERY. WOOLWICH, OCT. I.—The twol companies from Canada and Newfoundland disembarked from the Resistance troop-sbip at 5 o ' clock P.M. yesterday, and were played up from the dockyard to the garrison by the 'band of the regiment.

SIR DENIS LE MARCHANT, THE NEW CLERK OF THE HOUSE OF COM -MONS. The Gazette of last night contains the official an nounceinent of the appointment of Sir Dennis Le Marchant to the important office of clerk of the House of Commons, vacant by the demise of the late Nr. L9y. Sir Denis Le Merchant brings to the office some experiertee as a member of the House and a long practical acquaintance with subordinate duties both in furls anent and in administration. With respect to his &frilly, it may be gtated that it has claims to con itlerable antiquity, as one of his lineal ancestors was chief magistrate and lieutenant-governor of the island of Guernsey in 1204. The family has main tained its consideration in the Channel Islands througli the series of intermediate centuries, but without achieving any prominent distinc tion, fianishii g magistrates and office bearers who worthily discharged their several functions. About 1765 tire father of Sir Denis was born. He entered the army, in whyi his .promotion was rapid, as might expected durang the..ioag destructive wars that followedithe French revolution, and he became a dis• tilguished commandcr. Som e i mprovements i n t h e swo rt exercise, the establishment of the Royal Mili tary College, and varioi3lfilitary reforms, are due to his sug4estive mind • and no doubt h e wou ld h ave achieved the highest distinction, but he fell at Sala manca whilst in command of the heavy brigade of cavalry. He married a Miss Carey, of Guernsey. and left two sons, the eldest of whom, born in 1795, is the subject of thi: notice, and the second Sir John Gaspard Le Merchant, born 1803, is the present Governor of Newfoundland. He is also a Brigadier- General in the service of the Queen of Spain. The civil service of his country was the lot of the elder brother. He, therefore, studied for the bar, to which he was called at Lincoln's Inn in 1822. Eight years afterwards he became principal secretary to Lord Brougham, then Lord Chancellor. In 1834 he succeeded Lord Bathurst as clerk of the Crown in Chancery, but resigned that office in the course of the same year in consequence of a change in the Ministry. He resumed office in 1836, as Secretary to the Board of Trade—an appointment which he held till June, 1841, when be was promoted to a secretaryship of the Treasury. In 1847, soon after the accession of Lord J. Russell to office, he was appointed Under- Secretary to the Home Department, and in 1848 he returned to the Board of Trade as secretary, an office which he has only just left for the chief seat at the table of the House of Commons. It appears, therefore, that in various stations Sir Denis has had nearly sixteen years' official experience; but in addition he has been a Member of the Legis lature, for he represented the faithful city of Wor cester from July, 1846, to July, 1847, when he made way for the present Lord Chancellor, who was then Attorney-General. During his brief career in the House, Sir Denis supported his Ministerial friends much more effectually by his votes than by his speeches, for, so far as we remember, his voice was never heard within its walls. He was, however, a good working Member, very useful in committees, a man of business, and always safe. Such is a brief abstract of the public life of Sir Denis Le Merchant, from which it may reasonably be inferred that the duties of his new appointment, the salary of which is to be 2,0001., with considerable patronage, will be discharged to the satisfaction of the House and the public. He married in 1835 a sister of the late Sir C. J. Smith, Bart., of Suttons, Essex, and has a family.— Chronicle. HEALTH of LONDON DURING the WEEK (From the RegistTar-General's Return.) In the week ending last Saturday the deaths regis tered in the metropolitan districts amounted to 981. Taking, for comparison, the deaths of ten correspond ing weeks in the years 1840-9, the weekly average is 1,023, and this, with a certain proportion added for increase of population, becomes 1,116; the return of last week is therefore favourable, showing a de crease of 135. The present account is for the last week of the quarter, and it exhibits a larger contingent than usual of violent and sudden deaths, in consequence of a number of coroners' cases in arrear being now entered in the re gister-books. Of 71 deaths by " violence:' 7 are ascribed to poison, 5 to burns and scalds, 13 to bang ing and suffocation, 20 to drowning, 26 to fractures, wounds, and other injury. Six children were suf focated in bed, by overlaying or other accident ; a man was suffocated on a lime-kiln ; another by food in a ravenous attempt to swallow it. A young man of 18 years committed suicide by loading an Italian iron and discharging it over his stomach. On the 12th of September, at 4, Goulston-conrt, Whitechapel, the daughter of a labourer, aged 4 years, died, ac cording to the return of the jury, a " natural death," which, however, is further described in the verdict as " brought on by want and privation of necessaries." On the 27th of September, at the Almshouses, Clap too, the widow of a gardener died from " age and decay," after a life of 103 years. It is mentioned by Mr. Steib, the registrar, that she had been an in. mate of one of Bishop Wood's almshouses for thirty four years, and enjoyed good health till within a fort night previous to her death. She also retained her mental faculties to the last. Last week the deaths enumerated in the zymotic or epidemic class of diseases were 198. This is a lower number than in any corresponding week since that of 1846, when there were only 157. In the same weeks of the three subsequent years the deaths in this class were 330, 395, and (in 1849) 782. The epi demics incident to childhood prevail less fatally than usual, with the exception of hooping-cough, the mor tality from which amounted to 28 deaths, and is about the average. Diarrhoea was fatal in 57 cases, hut it does not exceed the average of this period. From cholera 4 deaths were registered, and the particulars are as follow : In Marylebone, Rectory subdistrict, at 7, Barrett's court, on the 25th of September, a stableman, aged 50 years, died of "cholera." Mr. Joseph, the regis trar, adds that " the deceased had not been in sound health, having broken a bloodvessel a short time pre viously. He was ill four days with diarrhea,' and cramp, but had no vomiting. The houses in the court are densely occupied, and anything but well cleansed." In Marylebone, St. John's, at 36, Henry•street East, on the 25th of September, the wife of a labourer, aged 65, died of " cholera (7 days), fever (5 days)." In Mile-end New Town, in the Metropolitan Lodg ing -house, Buxton-street, on . the 23d of September, the widow of a farmer, aged 66, died_ . of "English cholera (3 days)." In Rateliff, at 1, Garden .place, Bere-street, on the 17th of September, the son of a gas-work stoker, aged 1 year, died of " diarrhoea (3 days), cholera (24 hours)." The births of 750 boys and 723 girls, in all 1,473 children, were registered in the week. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.680 inches. The mean daily temperature varied little during the week. The mean of the 7 days was 56 7 deg., which is three degrees higher than the average of the same week in 7 years. The temperature of the Thames was about 57 degrees. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS. NUMBER OF DEATHS FROM ALL CAUSES REGISTERED IN THE WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, SEPT. 28, 1850.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2, 1850. ilaanwrox said it was quite clear the defen - dant could not be permitted to walk about the streets with large placards like those he carried ; for, even supposing the words on them had no signiLancy, the placards wou►d of themselves cause a nuisance and obstruction. But when the language on the placards was of a description to create a mob and lead to a breach of the peace it was impossible to permit such proceedings in the public street. With respect to betting offices, he considered they were a great public nuisance. They were generally the arenas of quar relling, fighting, and disputes, and he should be very glad to see all of them suppressed. The tendency of these betting places was to demoralize all classes who visited them. Young men were induced to bet be yond their means—an appetite was thereby created for betting, than which nothing was more destructive to morals. He considered these betting places were the source of every kind of mischief. After a suitable reprimand and caution, the defen dant was discharged. EXTRADITION OF POLES FROM FitaiscE.—Monsieur C. Szulcze w ski, secretary to the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, having made inquiries into the case of Andrew Minginowiex, the Polish soldier found begging in the Haymarket, who had been ex pelled by the French Republic from France, sent a communication to Mr. Hardwick, of which the fol lowing is the substance :—The Pole served, in 1831, against Russia in the war of independence. He emi grated afterwards, and entered the foreign legion in Algeria. He returned to France, and, in 1848, went with some of his countrymen to Cracow, but was compelled to quit the country. He enrolled himself in the Polish Legion in Italy, and after the catnpahsn sought refuge in Switzerland. From Switzerland he went to France, from whence he was expelled in August last. Within th 3 last fifteen months 200 Poles have come to England, alleging that they had been compelled to quit France by the French autho rities. As the national grant for the relief of the Poles had been limited of late, some wealthy Poles had been appealed to, and they had raised about 1,2001. for the relief of their more unfortunate compirriots. The donation from the poor-box to the Pole had been withheld, as the secretary had found out the man was addicted to drinking, the society only recognising and relieving Poles of good character.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAN. S E. A man of rather stately deportment, who said he was a "railway agent," was brought before Alder man Gibbs, charged with having walked into the premises adjoining a banking-house in Lombard street, without having any business to transact there. The defendant, the rapid movement of whose eyes indicated that all was not right within, had been seen looking about cautiously in his own opinion, but in such a manner as to excite great caution in other people, and at last slipping in at a hall door which was most invitingly open, he was followed, and asked whom he wanted to see and what business be had to transact, and as his answers were wholly beyond the comprehension of those who addressed him, he was handed over to the care of the police and taken to the Compter, where be seemed to be very comfortable during a two or three days' abode. Alderman GIBBS having inquired about the unfor tunate man, learned that he had been, during the railway mania, one of the adventurers in ruinous speculations, and that his losses had, in all proba bility, affected his mind. Upon being told that the circumstances under which he was found were very suspicious, he stared and said he was informed by some people in the street that somebody was waiting for him inside, so in he walked. A waiter, at a coffee-house in the neighbourhood, said the defendant had walked in there several times as if he was an old customer, and ordered dinner without having a farthing in his pockets. Alderman GIBBS said be feared the poor fellow was the victim of railway disappointments, and deli vered him to his friends, who promised to keep him out of such dishonourable difficulties. GUILDHALL. Thomas Francis was placed at the bar before Al derman Wilson, charged with stealing eight iv iry bagatelle-balls, value 11. ls., the property of John Jefferini, the landlord of the Rose, in Farringdon street. Mary Regan, servant to Mr. Jefferini, of 2, Far ingdon-street, said she was coming down stairs on Monday afternoon, when she saw prisoner Wee the balls from the bagatelle-board, and afterwards put them into his hat. He then came down stairs and met witness at the door. He then asked her what time parties using that house would go into the room, and she made him no other answer than imme diately calling out " thieves." He ran away, and she followed him into the street, and cried " stop thief," when a policeman stopped prisoner and took him into custody. The balls were found on him. Those pro duced, she believed, were the same she saw prisoner put into his hat. Police-constable 244 corroborated the last witness's nt, and further said that when he stopped s i, t r a is te o m ne e ra at the top of Braziers' -buildings, near 110 - - born-hill, he dropped something, but witness could not tell what it was. Police-constable 240 deposed to several parties, who were merely bye-standers picking up the bagatelle balls, which prisoner had dropped on being taken. Mr. Jefferini (the celebrated clown) appeared and identified the balls as the same he had lost. Ile con sidered they were worth about one guinea. Mr. Wilson, of the Dolphin, on Ludgate-hill, pre ferred a similar charge against the prisoner. The following were the circumstances : John Smith, the pot-boy to Mr. Wilson, said that about three weeks ago the prisoner came to Mr. Wil son's house, and ordered some refreshment ; after waiting a short time, he left the house, and on wit ness going into the ' room a few minutes after the balls, of the bagatelle board were found to be mis sing. On that occasion prisoner was dressed in a blue striped jacket and a black waistcoat. Alderman Wilson said that the last case was very su-picious, but the first would not admit of a doubt respecting the prisoner's guilt. He would, however, remand the prisoner for a few days, to allow the officers an opportunity to obtain further evidence, both as regarded the prisoner's general private character, and also the extent to which this practice had been carried by hitn.---Remanded accordingly. Thomas Wilkins, a constable of the D division of metropolitan police, was brought up in the custody of Inspector Colin Grant, for final examination on the charge of defrauding the treasurer of Middlesex of 3s. 61; also with defrauding Elizabeth Collins of a like amount, under the following circumstances. Mr. Parry appeared on behalf of the prisoner. Elizabeth Collins said her husband was convicted at the July sessions of the Central Criminal Court of committing a violent assault upon her, and trans ported for ten years. She was allowed her expenses. Prisoner had to pay her. She only received 14s. from her brother-in-law, who had it from the prisoner. Had made inquiries and found that 21s. had been allowed her. George Jenkins proved having only received 14s. from prisoner for Mrs. Collins. And Maria Jenkins deposed to signing the bill of ex penses with her mark, but she received no money from the prisoner either at , the time or after. Mr. Reid, clerk to Mr. Clark, the clerk of the arraigns, said he allowed Mrs. Collins 21s. for six days attendance. She was only entitled to five days, but in consequence of some statement made by the prisoner, he allowed her an extra day's expenses. Ile allowed ss. to the prisoner in addition to an extra day's pay, because the magistrate who sent the case for trial had recommended him, on account of the great trouble he had in getting up the case. He al lowed prisoner 93. for six days instead of five at is 6d. per day. Doble, 147 D, said he saw the money paid for Mrs. Collins's expenses, at the Pitt's Head ; he counted it, and could swear it was not more than 1,45. It was paid to the witness Jenkins. When information was given to the inspector regardin g prisoner's conduct, he threatened to suspe n d hi m , and prisoner came to witness and asked him t o swear that he paid Mrs. Col linsAa. and h Collins ir. acnl clerk h k e et w o o t uhle treasurerd g iv remembered him2s if assist him in that way. said he paid the bill o f expenses in the trial of " that ef l‘i one d was allowed to Mrs. Collins.hei gd w lue o ia,sn u e e l x d Mr. Buxton, the surgeon who was engaged on the trial, said he heard Mr. Reid say that he would allow prisoner an extra day's pay, 3s. 6d., for the trouble he had had in keeping the witnesses together for the trial. Mrs. Collins was unwilling to prosecute, and Mr. Broughton threatened to commit her if she did not. The magistrate directed prisoner to take care of her. Felix White, grocer, said he was with prisoner at the time he paid Mrs. Collins's sister 17s. It was put on the counter. Doble, prisoner, and himself, supped together the night of the trial. Prisoner said to Doble that 3s. 6d. extra had been allowed him for his trouble, and he then gave Deble ls. 91, and told him it was all square. Several other witnesses were called, who proved that Mrs. Collins had been frequently heard to say, " This is the shop where that fellow lived that trans ported my husband for 4i. 61. per day, while I had only 3s. 61 I will do for them both, and begin with the " bobby" (meaning prisoner) first. Mr. Parry urged, on behalf o f t h e prisoner, t h at 17s. 6d. had been paid to Mrs. Collins, and the other 3s. el was due to himself, inasmuch that it was out of Mr. Reid's power to allow anything extra to the officers engaged in the Old Bailey trials, in any other way than by adding it to the expenses of one of the witnesses, and giving the officer permission to deduct it. Mr. Reid, on being recalled, said that he n ever ex ercised any such power. He never by any chance al lowed the officers in any case to deduct anything from the allowance of witnesses, and to appropriate it to their own use. Alderman SIDNEY said that if he left the case of the 17s. 6.1. out o f the question altogether, there would be no doubt remaining but that prisoner had misap propriated the sum of 35. 6d., and by so doing was guilty, under the Police Act, of a breach of his duty as a police-constable, and consequently liable to be fined accordingly. It was a very painful duty for him to have to adjudicate in such a case, particularly as his decision would certainly have the effect cf blasting all his future prospects in life. However, the case was of such a nature as to require a strict investiga tion, which had been made, and the result proved that prisoner was at fault. lie would, therefore, fine him 51., or one month's imprisonment in the House of CJrrection. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BETTING OFFlCEs.—Williant Williams was charged with having paraded a large double placard before the house of Mr. John Osborne, cigar-dealer, No. 9, New Bond-street. The placard was exhibited in court. It had upon it in large letters, " Caution to the public, Captain Bell, of No. 9, New Bond street, has not paid ou the Liverpool Cup." Mr. Osborne said Captain Bell kept a betting list at his shop, which list was managed by Captain Ball himself, and a clerk. On Monday' n ight a crowd of nearly 100 p ersons assembled b e fore his shop and threatened to destroy everything in it. They were collected by the conduct of about ten or a dozen persons, who first made their a ppearance. The police were sent for and the disorderly persons disappeared. At night large placards were posed on th e shutters o f the s hop. similar to the one carried by the defendant. The de fendant yesterday..came with the p l ac ards now in his possession, and by walking back wa rds and forwards in front of the•shop caused a crowd to assemble. Com plainant sent for a constable, and gave him into CM. tody. The complainant here entered into a statement of the Liverpool Cup betting of Captain Ball, assert ing that all t h e b ets had been paid, ex cept one of 20 to I laid twice to Mr. Dawson, of the Yorkshire Grey, who, however, had received 221. on account, and would have received the whole of his bet, had he nor been the means of preventing Captain Bell from receiving a bet of 25/. which he had won from a person named Haspall, in Old Broad-street. lie wished to know whether the defendant was at liberty to walk about with the placards now in court? CEERKEN WELL James Newman, a tall, athletic Irish labourer, was placed at the bar, charged with having violently as saulted Jenny bind, a married woman, by which she was seriously injured. The prosecuCrix, whose bead and face were bound up with adhesive plaister, stated that she lived with her husband in Benett's-road, St. Luke's. On Monday night, about eleven o'clock, she was walking along Golden-lane, when she was importuned by the prisoner, when she told him to go about his business, on which he knocked her down, and while she was on the ground he kicked her desperately on the head, &c., and injured her so severely that she was taken to a surgeon, who dressed her wounds. Her cries brought Sergeant Standen, 11 G, to her assistance, and the prisoner was taken to the station-house and locked up. • Mr. COMBE (to Jenny Lind)—Were you sober at the time ? Jenny—Lord bless you, yes—l was as sober as a judge. I never got drunk in all my life. Sergeant Standen—Why, they were both drunk, your Worship. I saw her husband after the charge was taken, and told him ; when he said he had been waiting at home for her all night, but he supposed she was out getting drunk as usual.—(Laughter.) The prisoner, in ,his defence, said that he was first accosted by Jenny, who was drunk; and because he would not treat her she followed and abused him, when he pushed her away, and she fell with her head against the kerb-stone. He denied having struck or kicked her. Mr. ComnE—Make her some compensation. Prisoner—l offered her 23. Jenny (exposing the plaisters)—What, 23. for this cut head ! Prisoner—You'll get no more from me. Mr. Comm—Then I'll fine you 205., or 14 days' imprisonment. _ He could not pay the penalty, an he was locked up, when Jenny Lind left the court, singing small, without compensation. She had appeared at this court before in a similar character. SOUTHWARK. Yesterday two men named Mills (brothers), and Mary, their mother, were placed at the bar before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with making a disturbance in the Surrey Theatre, and assaulting the police in the execution of their duty. Peckham, the constable attached to the theatre, stated that about half-past ten on the previus night a disturbance occurred in the gallery, which had the effect of interrupting the performance. He proceeded to ascertain the occasion' of the " row," and on going up the gallery-stairs he met a man coming down with his face covered with blood, who complained that he had been assaulted, and pointed out the defendants as his assailants. Witness, finding the defendants were still making a great noise in the house, tried to prevail upon them to be quiet, but they disregarded his entreaties, and it was at length found necessary to call in the aid of the police to quell the disturbance ; and when an attempt was made to eject the defendants they became more violent than before, and both the men being young and powerful, they fought and kicked the policeman, and it was with much difficulty they were at length lodged in the station-house. The defendants exhibited their clothes, which were torn, and said that they had been roughly handled by the police. Mr. A'BECKRTT said that the defendants had no right to create a disturbance in the theatre, and that the police were justified in ejecting them, and that it was not to be wondered at that the defendants had their clothes torn when ,they resisted in the manner described. The magistrate then inflicted a fine of 31. on Benjamin Mills, he being the chief aggressor in the transaction; and the other defendant was fined 11., or, in default of payment, the former to be impri soned three weeks, and the latter 14 days. The woman was discharged. • WORSHIP-STREET. George Hall, a person connected with sporting affairs, was charged before Mr. Arnold with having attempted to jump into a railway carriage attached to a train, while it was in motion, by which he was liable to a penalty of 40s. It appeared from the evidence, that abDut six o'clock that (yesterday) morning, just as the down train to Newmarket, by the Eastern Counties Rail way, was starting from Shoreditch station, the defen dant arrived on the platform, stating that he wanted to go by the train. It had started at the time, when he was informed by Mr. Gardner, the inspector, that he must stop. He observed that it would be a loss to him of 1001. if he did not go down by that train. He then gave a leap into a third-class carriage, just as the train had reached the turn table. The defendant was in the most imminent danger. He was balancing on the door, and by the least jerk he would have been thrown off. Mr. Gardner called upon the driver of the engine to stop the train, which was promptly done, upon which the defendant was given into custody. Mr.Aartom observed that the question was, had the officers of the company the power to give any one in custody under such circumstances? Mr. Gardner said that many persons who had caused obstructions and, committed offences like the present, had given wrong directions in consequence of which be had received instructions to give offenders into custody. He subsequently produced the com pany's Act, and read the 1031 section, which was " for securing offenders whose names and residences are unknown.' It recited " that it shall be lawful for any collector, servant, or other officer of the said company to seize or detain any person whose name or residence shall be unknown to such collector, &c., who shall have committed any offence against the provi sions of the Act, and to convey him with all conveni ent dispatch before some justices of the peace within whose jurisdiction such offence shall have been com mitted, and such justices are ordered immediately to convict or acquit such offender." The defendant was fined in the mitigated penalty of 10s. LAMBETH. Ann Bird, the wife of a coffee-shop-keeper, in the Lower Marsh, Lambeth, was fully examined before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of attempting to strangle her husband. From the statement of Mr. Games, who attended on behalf of the husband and the testimony of the wit nesses, it appeared that, owing to the dissipated con duct of the prisoner, her husband was compelled to turn her out of his house, on an allowance of ss. a week. This sum the husband paid her until latterly, and until information had reached him of various acts of adultery on her part, such as would exonerate him from all legal responsibility for her support. Having been refused her allowance, the prisoner made appli cation to the parish of Lambeth for a maintenance, when the beadle took her borne to the house of her husband. The husband denied his right to be called on to support such a woman, but the beadle left her in the house, and having availed herself of an opportu nity of her husband being alone, she with great dex terity slipped a handkerchief round his throat, and drew and tied it so tightly, that had assistance been delayed but a moment or two longer, no human skill could have restored him to animation. As it was, it was with the utmost difficulty that the medical man called in restored him to consciousness, and as a proof of the narrowness of his escape he still remains in an exceedingly weak and feeble state. The prisoner had been remanned, in order to have the testimony of the medical gentleman and other witnesses taken prepa ratory to her committal fur trial, but one or two of those witnesses being still absent the prisoner was again remanded. WANDSWORTH. Ellen Middlechip, 18, a daughter of a laundress, living at 34, Union-street, Union-road, Clapham, was brought down from Horsemonger-lane Gaol, and placed on a chair in front of the dock, in consequence of her rxtrvine weakness, and charged before Mr. Btmdon with being suspected of having caused the death of her newly-born male child, by immersion in The, prisoner was committed for trial at the C,2ntral Criminal Court, but will be brought up again to have the depositions completed against her. She fainted as she was being removed to the cell. THE ARCTIC REGIONS. Dispatches of some length and apparent particu larity have just been received from the Arctic regions. We wish we could add that the intelligence conveyed is either satisfactory or conclusive, but even our sus pense receives, unfortunately, no relief from the tidings now communicated. On the contrary, a re port of the most deplorable character has been put into circulation, and although the concurrent impres sions of the officers employed are clearly, and, as we think, reasenably, against its credibility, yet the whole story is so loosely related in the dispatches before us that the general reader would find it difficult to extract sufficient evidence either for his information or his judgment. We are sure, therefore, that we shall be doing the public an acceptable service by placing before them the facts and the obscurities of the case in a somewhat more intelligible form. About the middle of August last certain of the vessels composing the several expeditions in search of our lost voyagers appear to have encountered each other somewhere to the head of the well-known Arctic gulf called Baffin's Bay. Near the northern extremity of this bay is a projecting headland of con :iderable extent, and such a mountainous aspect as to have received the name of the Arctic Highlands. It exhibits three conspicuous cape: that to the west being called Cape White, that to the east Cape York, and that in the centre Cape Dudley Diggs. Between Cape Dudley Diggs and Cape White an indentation of the coast forms a tolerably capacious bay, which is called Wolstenholme Sound, or as we now learn, " Ourinak," or " Otninak," in the native tongue of the Dquiniaux. On the 13th of August Captain Oannanney in the Assistanc e , . . and Sir John Ross in the Felix, being somewhere off Cape York, observed three male E-quimaux on the ice close by, and with these people it was pru dently resolved to communicate. Accordingly, Lieutenant Cator in the Intrepid steamer, tender to the Assistance, and Commander Phillips in the whale boat of the Felix, put off on this service. The In trepid's people arrived first, but apparently without any means of expressing their desires, so that when the boat of the Felix, containing an Equimaux in terpreter, joined the party, the natives iinmediately gave signs of recognition and satisfaction, came into the boat without the least hesitation, and engaged themselves presently in arlong and animated conver sation with their countryman, the interpreter. Half an hour was devoted to this interchange of intelli gence, but with no immediate result, for the inter preter could only translate his native language into Danish, and as no person in the boat understood Danish, the information remained as inaccessible as before. In this predicament -the boats returned with the intention of confronting the interpreter—whose Christianized name is Adam Beek—with Sir John Ross himself. As Sir John, however, was pushing a-head in the Felix towards Cape Dudley Diggs, and as Adam appeared anxious to disburden himself of his newly-acquired information, the boats dropped on board the Prince Albert, another of the exploring vessels in the neighbourhood, and there put Adam in communication with the captain's steward, John Smith, who " understood a little of the language," as Sir John Ross says, or " a good deal," as CAptain Phillips says, and who presently gave such an account of the intelligence as startled everybody on board. Its purport was as follows :—That in the winter of 1846, when the snow was falling, two ships were broken by the ice a good way off in the direction of Cape Dudley Diggs, and afterwards burned by a fierce acd nu merous tribe of natives ; that the ships in question were not whalers, and that epaulettes were worn by some of the white men ; thA a part of the crews were drowned, that the remainder were some time in huts or tents apart from the natives, that they had guns but no balls, and that being in a weak and exhausted condition, they were subsequently killed by the na tives with darts or arrows. This was the form given to the Esquimaux's story by John Smith, captain's steward of the Prince Albert. Impressed with the importance of these tidings Captain Ommanney and Captain Phillips immediately made their report to Captain Austin in the Resolute, which was then in company with the Felix near Cape Dudley Diggs. Captain Austin at once decided upon investigating the credibility of the story, and with this view dispatched a message to the Lady Franklin, another of the exploring ships, which lay a few miles off, and which had on board a regular Danish interpreter. This interpreter duly arrived, but proceeded forthwith to translate the story by statement " totally at variance" with the interpreta tion of " the other," whom, as we are told, he called a liar and intimidated into silence, though no sooner was the latter left to himself than he again repeated his version of the tale, and stoutly maintained its ac curacy. Meantime an additional piece of information became known, namely, that a certain ship had passed the winter safely housed in Wolstenholtne Sound—a statement soon ascertained by actual in vestigation to be perfectly true, and since fully elu cidated by the return to this country last week of the vessel in question—the North Star. Such are the heads of the tale to be extracted from the dis patches. Iu estimating the character of the report, we first observe that Captain Penny, commanding the ship Lady Franklin, roundly states in his offi.lial letter of the 21st of August, that " having offered his services, together with those of his interpreter (the Dane above mentioned), he was happy to find the sole foundation for the tidings to be that the North Star had wintered in the place referred to." This plain and unhesitating statement is exceedingly acceptable, for Sir John Ross's communications either confuse us or leave us in the dark on almost every point which it is desirable to certify. We are not, in the first place, explicitly informed what was the version of the story given by the Dane in contradiction of that given by " the other," nor is it even readily discoverable who this "other" was, whether Adam Beek or John Smith, or a native, with whom the Dane was first confronted. From one of Sir John's com munications we should conclude the former, from another the latter. In the next place it becomes of especial importance to identify the source of the only piece of information actually discovered to be true, viz., the wintering of the North Star in Wol stenholme Sound, since such a verification of testi mony on one point gives a general credibility to the whole. From Sir John's dispatch to the Hudson's Bay Company it appears that this intelligence was derived by his own agency from Adam Beek, but no such conclusion would have been suggested by the sister dispatch of the Gallant Captain of the Admi ralty. In fact, the communications are so loosely worded that it is, as we have said, extremely difficult to make them yield an intelligible and consistent nar rative. The leading piece of evidence is that of Adam Beek, and if the question turned solely on the comparative accuracy of the interpretations given to his story, first by John Smith, and next by the Dane, we might hope that the depositions of the Esquimaux himself, which we yesterday printed in the original tongue for public edification, might bf 3 applied by some learned philologists to solve the pro blem ; and this, from one of Sir J o h n ' s di spatc h es, we should have imagined to be the real case; but, from the other it would rather appear that the credibility questioned was that of Adam Beck himself, and that the Dane was confronted, not with John Smith, but with Adam Bi , ek in person, before the face of the original native informants, and that on this evidence hp confirmed the story of the North Star, but charged Adam with the pure invention of all the rest. Even here, however, there is a possibility of Adam's justi fication, for the natives themselv e s might have varied in their statements at their different interviews with our officers. Captain Penny, we observe, speaks of " the Esquimaux from whom the report was obtained" as having been on board hie ship for several hours without making any such communication, though he was, doubtless, subjected to questions in abun dance. On the whole there seems every reason to concur in the clear opinion of the inquirers on the spot that the circumstantial narrative of the two lost crews is without any foundation in fact, though whe ther the fabrication or misconception be due to the native informants, to the native interpre ter, to John Smith, or to the Dane, may be points not readibly ascertainable. Perhaps the Arc tic experience of s om e of our readers may enable them jto udge in some degree of the probability of a " fierce and numerous tribe " having made such an attack as that described at the point in question—Cape Dudley Diggs. We own, however, to a disbelief in the story from the evidence already furnished, and we think it by no means improbable that the anxious and inces sant prosecution of our inquiries in these waters may have suggested motives to the native tribes for invent ing or magnifying tales likely to arrest the attention of their eager visitor,. Against such delusions we must be well on our guard, though such information may perhaps be the: best we can find in aid of the ex ertions we are now making with such indefatigable vigour.— Times.

I.—At our market this morning there was a good attendance of the town and country trade, whose purchases, however, were quite of a hand- • to-mouth el aracter. Foreign wht at was only saleable 4 at a reduction of ld to 2d per 70Ibs, and new Irish was / difficult td move, though offered at a decline of 2d to 31 per 701bs, 5i 9d being the extreme value of best prepared parcels. New oats and oatmeal were hardly inquired tor, and may be noted id per 4515., and 64 per load lower. B , rley, beans, and peas were taken in small quantities, at live rates. The quantity of French and American II ,tir offering being very large, a concession of 64 per barrel and is per sack had to be made before .buldne,s could be done; Irish was quite neglected. 1 There was not much activity in the demand for Indian c , nai, and above 28s per quarter could not be made for prim- round American yellow.

Sir,—The past month of September opened" with very high barometric elevation, which was sustained with little variation for the first 18 days, averaging diurnally by my record, taken at 9 o'clock A.m., 30.23 ino hes. On the 19th the mercury had dropped below 30 inches, and conti nue d l ow to the end of the mouth, so that the last 12 days averaged only 29.72, exhibit ing a diminution in the atmospheric pressure of more than hail' an inch of the mercury daily, as compared the first 18 days. On the 29th the mercury, which stood 29.84 at nine o'clock A.m., fell rapidly, and was, at the same hour on the 30th, 29.35, having dropped nearly half an inch in 24 hours. The mercury continued falling till this morning at six o'clock, w het, I found it at 29.16, with a convex surface. At nine o'clock it had risen to 29.24, and at six o'clock thii evening was up to 29 49, still rising. The wind bas been stormy and variable, with showers, which is not unusual at the p er i o d of the year when the sun passes the line. On the average of the whole month there appears to have been a daily increase of 3-20ths of an inch in the elevation of the mercury as compared with last year. There has been but a slight difference in, the temperature, averag i ng the .30 days, from that of the last two years • but to-d a y t h e h eat h as not ex * seeded 57i i n the shade.—l am, Sir, your subscriber, Bermondsey -square, Oct. 1. H. P. MONEY MARKET —The premium on gold at Paris is 6 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10id. pr r ounce for standard gold, gives an ea change of 25.30 ; an d the exchange at Paris on London at short ' being 25.27 i, it follows that gold is 0.10 pet cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advicea from Harnburgh the price of gold is 4331 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, giies an exchange of 13.91; and the eV change at Hamburgh on - London at short being 13. 8 s it follows that gold is 0.58 per cent. dearer in Harry burgh than in London. The course of exchange at New York on L on d on for bills at 60 days' sight is 1101 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.67 per cent. in favour of Eng; land, an d a f ter making allowance for difference 0 ' interest and charges of transport, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United Scates. A CON TENTED I RISH LANDLORD .— The Earl o Erne, at the exhibition of green crops of Lisnaskea, managh, last week, delivered an address to his tenantry 011 the result of a personal inspection of the farms on his estate: —" I feel proud and happy," said the Noble Lord, " to have it in my power to tell you that I found all the tenants who'll I visited comfortable and improving in their system of farts' ing, and, as far as I could judge, better in their circumstances; no running away ; not one acre of untenanted land, and no dig', content ; but all v yi ng with each other as to who will produce the best crops."
