A rule had been recently obtained in this case, calling on the defendant, the proprietor of the Kentish Mercury, to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for an alleged libel against the plaintiff, in imputing to him the non-payment of a stipend to the vicar of Lewisham, for reading prayers in a chapel at Blackheath, with the payment of which the Earl of Dartmouth was charged. Mr. CHAXBERi, this afternoon, on the part of the de fendant expressed his regret that the alleged libel in question should have appeared in his newspaper, and that it was written and published on an imperfect informa tion of the facts. Sir F. TESSIGER, on behalf of the Earl of Dartmouth, expressed his entire satisfaction with the retractation which had been made by the defendant, and consented to the rule being discharged. Lord CAMPBELL was glad that the matter had been so satisfactorily arranged, and ordered the rule to be discharged.—Rule discharged accordingly. TO THE EDITOR OF THE S UJ.V. SIR,—In my letter published in the morning papers of this day, by an oversight of copying there occurs, in the table of reductions of expenditure proposed two omis- sions—viz., Interest of the Debt, and the Expenditure fn. the Army, Navy, and Ordnance—that table ought to have stood as under:— The Army, from Navy -..

MACGREGOR. FRANCE. The Archbishop of Paris has issued a circular to his clergy, in which he at some length exposes the impropriety of the clergy meddling in political affairs, and thereby making themselves party men ; and, in accordance with the recent decree of the Council of the Province, he specially forbids them from becoming candidates at the next elections. He exhorts them, both by example and precept, to respect the laws, and dwells on the necessity of displaying patriotism. GERMANY. The Committee of Finance of the Second Chamber of Prussia, on the 24th, resolved to propose the rejec tion of the Bills relative to the income-tax, and what is called " the tax en classes." The latter tended to increase by from 1i• to 2 million florins the revenue fixed by the State in favour of noble landowners. The Cologne Gazette declares that Prussia will not accept the decisions of the Conferences of Dresden unless all the German States shall assent to them. This amounts, says the Gazette, to the demand by Prussia of the recognition of the Germanic Diet, which a few months ago she refused to do, when Austria required the state of thing previous to 1847, to be taken as the basis of the reform of the organi ation of Germany. According to a recent letter from Dresden, in the Independance of Brussels, Prussia has determined to oppose the plan of Austria for a customs' union be tween all the Governments, as it would be very in jurious to the manufacturers of Prussia and the northern countries. _ _ _ It is stated in a letter from Vienna of the 20th, that the Minister of Finance, who has already re duced the budget of the war department from 120,000,000 florins to 110,000,000 florins, has de termined on further reducing it to 80,000,000 florins. Orders have already been given that 30,000 men shall be dismissed. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES The last letters from Hamburgh represent that the negotiations between the Danish and Federal Com missioners had not led to any definitive result. The great question in dispute continued to be the occupa tion of the fortress of Rendsburg, but it was believed that the Austrians would end by occupying it. It is stated, in a letter from Hamburgh, that the new lieutenancy of the Duchy of Holstein would enter on its functions before the 28th. LEVANT MAIL. We have received Constantinople journals to the 14th inst., and Athens to the 18th. The former publish a memorandum addressed by the Turkish Cabinet to all the foreign embassies at Constantinople on the closing of some hells at Para and Galata. It is as follows : " Certain individuals, subjects of friendly powers, have been for some time engaged in games of hazard, which they do not hesitate to carry on, against the duties of society, in certain hotels and shops situated at Para and Galata. Experience teaches that games of that nature lead to disturbances which but too often end in murder and bloodshed, and which it is the duty, as well as the right, of the local authorities to prevent, and to foresee the loss and danger which accrue to the public from such dis turbances. It has therefore been judged useful and necessary to direct that the places resorted to for gamb ling being once discovered, shall be henceforward imme diately visited by the police, to imprison all those who shall h .ve been taken in the fact, and to subject them to the punishment they deserve, without any regard to the nationality they may claim, but with the co-operation of the legation from which they depend. Being convinced that you will be anxious to lend your assistance to the execution of such a measure, the only object of which is to maintain public security, I g, Monsieur le Ministre, you will bring this measure to the knowledge of all the su'ojects of the power you represent, and to accept, Sec." The Courrier cl' Athines states that the Austrian Minister has addressed a note to the Greek Govern ment complaining of the protection afforded by Greece to the Italian exiles, who thus transform the country into a focus of revolution, by forming socie ties, striking medals with the effigy of the most pro minent men in the late struggles, and thus exciting the sympathies of th e G ree k people. The note con cludes, with a sort of menace, to the effect that the more interest the Greek nation takes in those unfor tunate men, the more severity will be displayed in Italy by the Imperial Government towards its subjects. The same paper mentions a note addressed by the Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs to all the members of the diplomatic corps, informing them that, in con sequence of a new regulation adopted by his col league the Minister of Finance, they will henceforth be obliged to specify with the greatest precision the contents of the different sealed parcels or boxes ad dressed to them from foreign countries, exempt from daty in consequence of international custom. ITALIAN OPERA IN PARIS. A brilliant and crowded audience, to witness the second dibiit of Madlle. Duprez, proved incontestably the powerful impression the charming young vocalist has created in the public mind. Her second part was Adina, in that prettiests of Donizetti's rustic operas, L t Efi s i r d'Amore, in which ehe displayed the same elegance of execution, and, what we prize much more, the same sweet musical feeling that pervaded her singing in Lucia. Adina, of coarse, bears no comparison in point of interest with her former part, but the music is Peculiarly adapted to the brilliant style of embellish ment which Madlle. Duprez introduces with such a delightful effect, and, mingled with the coquetry of the village beauty, there is a sentiment of tender ness which make her one of the most charming of Adinas we have ever seen. Needless to add that she was applauded to the echo, and fully the jud g ment confirmed formed of her brilliant power on her first debtit. The fame of the renowned D Ulatalara in the hands of Lablache is too widely k now n to demand a word more than to say Lablache was all himself. His solemn entrée into the village in the ell-known phaeton, with his address to the as sembled thaw-bacons, have not lost one jot of their ra , ..dness or effect, and convulsed the house with laughter. He came out superbly in the duo " Io son ricco," and perhaps never played with more spirit, or received heartier applause. The unfortunate swain Nemorino is one of M. Calz o l ar i' s b est parts. He sang the principal air, " Uno furtiva lagrima," with a pathos and beauty which drew down the warmest applause, and his execution of the music throughout w a s worthy of admiration. He makes himself; how ever, a little too wo• begone in the part. He should remember Suckling's well known lines : " I'Ly b‘hy, fond lover, why so wan and pile? If looking well won't move her, Will looking ill prevail?" Fulling was the Sergente, which he gave with the spirit and vivacity which characterise every thing b e does ;ea he gave the first air, one of the most striking more.,,. in the opera, very effectively, and plaudits bravos and recalls, bestowed liberally throughout the night, abundantly proved the satis faction of the auditory. M. Gardoni was expected in Paris yesterday, from Madrid, and will appear in the course of a few nights. Madlle. Amalia Ferraris, and Madlle. Rosati, two of the first danzatrici in Eu rope, have arrived. Madlle. Rosati remains in Paris, being the spirit Ariel in La Tempesta, the opera by Scribe and Halt":sy, which is now in active rehearsal. Amalia Ferraris starts immediately for London, to eommence the rehearsals of a splendid new ballet with which Mr. Lumley intends to ope❑ her Majesty's Theatre. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

For the substance of the following account of the recent visit of the Reynard to Loo-choo we are in debted to a correspondent, who will see that we have taken some liberties with his communication. Her Majesty's screw-sloop Reynard, Commander Cracroft, arrived at Shanghai on Monday, the 14th of October, having left the greater Loo-choo island four days previously. The object of her visit to Loo-choo was to convey a communication to the authorities from the British Government, respecting the treatment of a medical missionary, J.B. Bettelheim, M.D., for four years a resident on that island. Dr. Bettelheim is a converted Jew, a native of Hun gary, but a naturalised British subject,* and was sent out as a missionary physician by a committee of naval officers, under the designation of the Loo-choo Mis sionary Society. With great missionary zeal and overflowing good ness of heart, Dr. Bettelheim is somewhat peculiar in his views and conduct. Partly on this account, Probably, the local authorities of Loo-choo have all along regarded him with distrust, and the little favour which at first he received was altogether with held after the marked disrespect shown to him by Sir Thomas Cochrane during his visit in 1846, when the Admiral declared to the authorities of Loo-choo, who suspected the doctor of having political objects in view, that he did not recognize him as an English man or a British subject. After this the authorities gradually assumed a more inimical aspect, until at length they prevented the otherwise friendly people from holding intercourse with him, latterly even for bidding the sale of provisions, and thus rendering him and his family dependent for subsistence upon the scanty rations daily supplied by the police. Repeated complaints having been made to the British Government it was arranged that a man-of war should occasionally be dispatched to look in upon Dr. Bettelheim at Loo-choo, in order to afford him the countenance of the Government by whom he had been adopted t On the pre sent occasion Captain Cracroft was or dered to touch at Loo-choo on his way to the north, and was instructed to intimate to the authorities that the British Government took an interest in Dr. Bet telheim, and would view with displeasure any attempt to expel him from the island by a system of persecu tion or annoyance. The Reynard anchored in Napa Harbour on the 3d October, and remained a week, during which time two or three interviews were held with the native authorities, both on shore and on board. It was deemed expedient to exclude Dr. Bettelheim from all share in the negotiations, and the Bishop of Victoria, who was on board on his way to the northern ports (assisted in interpretation by his Chinese amanuensis Chun-chung, a Latin as well as a Chinese scholar), is stated to have contributed materially to bring about the good results which it is hoped will follow from the firm yet conciliatory tone adopted. At the first interview, held on the sth October, pretexts were assigned for the absence of the chief authorities, but Captain Cracroft having partially de livered bis instructions, demanded an interview with the Viceroy the next day but one, and it ultimately took place on the fourth day. At this last interview it was deemeed advisable for the officers of the Reynard to appear in full dress, attended by a guard of about 50 men, who were marshalled opposite the guard of the mandarins. The various complaints by Dr. Bet telheim were made the subject of conversation, and explanatory papers were exchanged ; but it was judged better to limit the proceedings as far as pos sible to the delivery of the intimation from the Bri tish Government, inculcating the necessity of better treatment of Dr. Bettelheim, amongst whose com plaints one of the most serious seems to have been an assault on him by some police whilst engaged in his missionary duties. At the termination of the negotiations presents were exchanged, and the Viceroy and other mandarins, in return for their hospitality, partook of an entertain ment on board the Reynard. She was the first steamer that had been seen there, and though it was evident her arrival had made a considerable impression, her departure was probably regarded with entire satis faction. The appearance of the country about Napa is de scribed as very beautiful ; the fields were well culti vated, there is an abundance of wood, and the roads leading to Shuidi, the capital, four miles distant from Napa, are very broad, and have a macadamised ap pearance. The people appear very friendly and well-disposed towards foreigners, and but for political jealousy, Loo-choo might possibly become a place of much re sort and traffic. We learn from some of the parties present on the occasion above mentioned, as a proof of the dread the people have of the Government, that the public slaves or coolies could not be induced to accept the dollars offered them even secretly in pay ment for their services as chair-bearers and porters ; such being the course invariably inculcated by the Japanese towards foreigners. Loo•choo is stated to have been raised to the dignity of a kingdom by one of the Chinese Em perors of the Ming dynasty, from 300 to 400 years ago, during a war between China and Japan, when the former sought to detach it from the interest of the latter. In token of vassalage, a biennial ship is dispatched with tribute to Fuh-chau, the capital of Fokien province, to which place the Loo-chooan scholars resort for education, the Chinese being the polite language of the country ; but the commonly spoken language, the physiog nomy, customs, and habits of the Loo•chooans are decidedly Japanese, and the influence of the Japan Cabinet directs all the official appointments of the local government. It was probably the first instance that has occurred for centuries, when recently, as we are informed, the Japanese authorities at Loo-choo co-operated with the Chinese Government, so as to induce Seu, the Imperial Commissioner, to urge her Britannic Majesty's Plenipotentiary to remove Dr. Bettelheim by force. The people generally are agriculturists, living principally on pulse and sweet potatoes. There are a few horses and buffaloes on the island, which is about 50 miles long by 20 wide. The people, though outwardly free from the appearance of destitution, are said, nevertheless, to be sunk in the lowest poverty. The Government, as proprietors as well as feudal lords of the soil, appropriate to them selves about one-half of the produce, which is dis tributed for the support of the officers and literati, who, as the dominant c l ass , live a life of in dolent affluence, and form about one-fifth of the whole population. The hair is worn in a peculiar tuft on the head, fastened by two pins, which are of silver in the higher orders and of brass in the lower class. A simple robe of coarse grass cloth, fastened by a girdle, is the dress usually worn. Whatever object the British Government had in view in thus throwing the shield of its protection over one of its adopted sons, it may be doubted whe ther the ends of the Christian mission will be perma nently advanced by such intervention. Indeed, we understand that the Bishop of Victoria, who has now had personal opportunities of le arnin g the tru e s t a t e of affairs, entertains grave doubts as to the propriety of the mission being continued under so many adverse circumstances. Dr. Bettelheim is supported by a body of naval philanthropists, to whom ' alone he i s responsible • still, the ad v i ce and ' opinion of the Bi s h o p w ill doubtless have considerable weight with them. * It is of course on the ground of his being a British subject, that our Government now interferes in his be half. How he, a H ungar i an b orn, b ecame entitled to claim the privilege, we do not know certainly, but pre sume that, as he was a sailo r i n hi s y ou th, h e may have served on board a British ship of war, and thus become naturalised under the provisions of the Act 6 Geo. Iv. cap. 109, sect. 16, 17. IMPORTATION OF BRANDY. The following numerous and large importations of brandy have recently - taken place from France : The vessel Active, from Charente, brought 29 pun cheons, 668 hogsheads, 304 other casks, and 600 cases; the Charles Souchay, from Charf-nte, 63 puncheons, 250 hogsheads, 216 other casks, and 72 cases; the Ame rica, from Charente, 80 puncheons, 280 hogsheads, 473 other casks, and 207 cases; the Breeze, from Charente, 100 casks and 23 cases; the Royal Sovereign, from Cha rente, 75 puncheons, 523 hogsheads, 252 other casks, and 371 cases; the Salem, from Charente, 64 puncheons, 667 hogsheads, 307 other casks, and 550 cases; the Margaret, from Charente, 121 puncheons, 230 hogsheads, 120 other casks, and 120 cases; the Eleanor, from Cha rente, 67 puncheons, 100 hogsheads, 140 quarter-casks, and 60 eases; the Hero, from Charente, 65 puncheons, 365 hogsheads, 376 smaller casks, and 219 cases; the Champion, from Charente, 88 puncheons, 649 hogs heads, 310 smaller casks, and 523 cases; the John Rickinson, from Charente, 59 puncheons, 440 hogs heads, 114 smaller casks, and 50 cases; the Claret, from Bordeaux, 416 cases; the Orion, from Charente, 57 puncheons, 604 hogsheads, 201 smaller casks, and 350 cases; the William Joliffe, from Havre, 100 packages, the Gypsy, from Bordeaux, 11 barrels, and 362 cases; the Crescent, from Charente, 88 puncheons, 250 hogs heads, 286 smaller casks, and 538 cases; and the Hope, from Charente, 119 puncheons, 435 hogsheads, 260 smaller casks, and 83 cases, with numerous other ar rivals to a less extent; the whole the produce of France. The collective value of these numerous large cargoes of this esteemed description of spirit, with the high duty leviable thereon, must be very considerable. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jun. 28. ;Sittings in Banco, before Lord CAMPBELL and Justices PATTESON, COLERIDGE, and WIGHTMAN.) THE QUEEN V. BLACKSTONE, M.P.-CRIMINAI. IN- FORMATION. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, on behalf of Mr. J. A. Hedges and his sons, Messrs. John Hedges and Charles K. Hedges, he had to move for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against Mr. William Seymour Blackstone for a libel. Mr. Hedges and his sons are soli citors at Wallingford, which place Mr. Blackstone re presented i❑ Parliament; and in 1845 Mr. Blackstone disposed of his estates in that neighbourhood to a rela tive, named Harry Lee, whose solicitors the Messrs. Hedges were. After the sale of the estates, Mr. Black stone interfered is the management of the property in a way which was objectionable to the Messrs. Hedges, who Mr. Blackstone was desirous of pre venting acting as Mr. Lee's solicitor. With that view Mr. Blackstone began a long correspondence with Mr. Lee, unknown to Messrs. Hedges, intended to de stroy the confidence which Mr. Lee reposed in them. The correspondence ended in Mr. Lee entrusting his bu siness to other solicitors, but before the completion of the object which Mr. Blackstone had in view, a letter was written which was the libel now complained of, and charged the Messrs. Hedges with having connived at a forgery, and with having endeavoured to give a person named Owen, who was charged with the forgery, an op portunity of escaping from justice. The Court granted a rule to show cause. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS E Jan. 28. :Sittings in Banco, before the CIIIEY JUSTICE, Mr. Justice,MAULE, Mr. Justice C RESSW ELL, and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) DOE DEM. BAINBRIGGE V. BAINBRIGG E -IMPORTANT WILL CASE. At the conclusion of the arguments in this case, The CHIEF JUSTICE said the Court were of opinion that there should be a new trial. It was probable that some of the jury might have founded their judgment on the general incapability of the testator; and if so, that would not be satisfactory to the Court, or to the Learned Judge who tried the cause. The rule would be made absolute on the usual terms, namely, payment of costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Tkeophilus South, alias Taylor, alias Baker, alias Tyr rell, alias Pettigrew, alias Hoskin, alias Douglas, alias Dr. Rigby, alias Winterbotturn, but whose real name is Henry Arnold Green. was brought up before Alder man Kelly and Alderman Hunter, charged with obtain ing goods under fraudulent pretences. Mr Goddard attended fur the prosecution; and Mr. Wontner appeared, as on the former examination, on be half of the prisoner. Mr. Goddard, in opening the case, briefly stated that there were a variety of charges against the prisoner of obtaining goods under false pretences, but that he would not go into all of them if he could succeed, as be antici pated, in establishing a charge of felony. It appeared that the prisoner lived in a single room at a rental of 3s. per week, but that, always having been able to dress well, he obtained in December last a situation as sur geon in the name of Dr. Baker, on board an East In diaman, and by some chicanery obtained about 81. from the shipbrokers before starting from London, and gave the vessel the "slip" at Gravesend. He afterwards ap plied for the situation of surgeon to the North London Dispensary, in the name of Green, and produced a letter of recommendation in his favour, written by himself in the name of Baker. Henry Williams, of the firm of Pepys and Williams, 22, Poultry, said, the prisoner came to our shop on the evening of the 27th of December, and asked to look at some surgical instruments, and ordered goods to the amount of about 251. He then requested permission to take a silver corkscrew, a pair of tweezers, and a set of tooth instruments, valued at 31. He gave me the name and address of Mr. Tyrrell, 24, Br3anstou-square. I then placed before him a number of pocket instruments and five or six cases of a smaller size made for a parti cular purpose. I had to turn my back frequently while the prisoner was looking over the goods. They were in an unfinished state, never having been completed for sale. We afterwards missed one of these cases, which was subsequently found on the prisoner at the station. I am sure the case produced has never been sold. It is our property, value 30s. When he left with the cork screw, ice., he ordered the other goods to be sent on Saturday, and then on Monday, bf fore 12, and he would send a cheque back for the amount. On the following morning I went to the address prisoner gave, and found that he was not k nown isthe square at all, and 24, Bry anston-square, was occupied by the Hon. Mr. Kennedy. Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner—l believe we have not made more than six of the cases similar to the one found on the prisoner. He wanted to take one with him, but I objeeted, as they hod not been examined, to complete tlitrm. He gave me his nam e and adireiss be ore I allowei him to take any goods away with him. I have never Leen him before, except in the justice-room, G wild hell Police-constable 493—1 found this on the prisoner along with a great many other articles. I searched his lodgings at 14, Kirby-street, Hatton-garden, where he lived in the name of Hoskin, and found this large bunch of keys; some fit boxes and cases in the room. (The keys, from 50 to 60 in number, were here handed up to the bench; they were all new, and evidently belonged to valuable locks, as there were a great many very similar to Chubb's patent). I have also found a metal model of a horse, three German silver ladles, and a case of scales. I then went to 33, Cambridge-street, Eccles ton-square, where prisoner had formerly lived. The house was empty. Two bills were in the window; one directing " All letters for 1)r. Baker to be sent to Croy don," and the other, "All letters for Mr. Green to be sent to 45, Regent's square." Inspector Marsh, of the F division, metropolitan po lice, said prisoner had been convicted of obtaining money and goods under false pretences, in 1848, and was sen tenced at the Old Bailey to eighteen months' impri,;on meet. Ile then appeared and was tried under the name of Andrew Green. He gave an address then at South end ; but on inquiry it was found to be false. Inquiry was made at Gravesend, but though every one knew him there by name, none had ever seen him. A stranger in court, apparently a respectable me chanic, here said the prisoner had contrived to get an oak barometer from hint without paying for it. Mr. Youll, the optician, of Leadenhall-street, here said the prisoner came to him under the name of Dr. Rigby, of Eaton-place, Eaton•square, but that gentle man repudiated all knowledge of the man. The prisoner was then committed on the charge pre ferred against him at the last examination, by Messrs. Horne, Thornthwaite, and Co., of Newgatu-street ; but with re, , ard to the fresh ciarges he was remanded till Thursday. MARYLEBONE. Mr. Broughton was engaged fur a considerable time in the investigation of a charge against a young man named John William Hamilton, aged 26, of causing wil ful damagd to the amount of 300/. to the house of Mr. Daniel Milbank, of 10, Cumberland-street, New-road, by the explosion of a quantity of gunpowder. Daniel Milbank said—The prisoner is the son of a lodger of mine, a widow, who rents my two parlours. I have frequently complained of his coming to the house, as I did not approve of his behaviour, and I did not think his mother felt safe. Last night, about eight o'clock, as I was employed upon some mosaic work i❑ the front kitchen, I heard a loud explosion, and at the same moment a portion of the ceiling fell upon my head, the lathing also fell in, and if I had not got away very quickly, I might have Bern seriously injured if not killed. 1 beard a moaning and groaning, and found that the front and back parlour doors were blown off the hinges, that the sashes of the back parlour window were blown out, as also a portion of the brick work. The drawing room floor was destroyed, and the sash in the back kit chen window was shattered to pieces. The shutters of the front parlour were sent fourteen or fifteen yards across the New-road, and even up to the attics damage was done. I calculate that my loss cannot be short of 3004 by the explosion. Mrs. Hamilton, the prisoner's mother, was in bed in the front parlour, and I saw the pillow-case and coverlid burning, but not in flames. The piste was full of smoke, and I clasped my arms round Mrs. Hamilton's waist to get her out if possible; but being nearly suffocated I was compelled to return with out accomplishing my object. I made another effort to release her, and at last conveyed her to the house ad joining, where she was attended by Mr. Norton, a surgeon. Mr. BROUGHTON.—In what circumstances is she? Witness—She is a widow lady of independent property. Mr. BROUGHTON.—Are you aware of any threats having been made by the prisoner with respect to his mother? Witness—Yes. Yesterday he was abusing her all the afternoon. Mr. BROUGHTON.—Have you ascertained where the explosion took place? Witness—Yes, sir. It was under the prisoner's mother's bed, and the wall is quite black, owing to the explosion of gunpowder. It took six or seven pails of water to put the fire out. Mr. BROUGHTON.—Is Mrs. Hamilton injured? Wit ness—Yes, sir; she is burned on the side and on the face. Hawtry, 373 A—l was o❑ duty, and heard a loud ex plosion, which I thought was occasioned by gas. I heard also the screams of a female, and I thought the house was falling. I opened the door, and met Mr. Mil bank with Mrs. Hamilton in his arms. I took her from him and assisted her to the next door. After that I went back and found the bed,burning, and everything in the room in the utmost disorder. I also found a portion of a powder flask on the floor. Cox, 138 D—l captured the prisoner at the moment of his coming up to the door. The house was nearly shattered to pieces. lie asked me what was the matter with the house, and I told him there had been a great explosion; when he said, "Is any one hurt?" I re marked to him that I did imt know, and he said, " Oh, because my mother is stopping here." He rang the bell, upon which Mr. Milbank, who came to the door, gave him into my charge for damaging his house with gunpowder. He alleged that he knew nothing about it. Mr. BROUGHTON (to Mr. Milbank)—How lately be fore the explosion had you seen the prisoner? Mr. Milbank—l saw him there a quarter of an hour before. He might, for aught I know, have been there imme diately before it took place. The prisoner, on being asked what he had to say, made a very long statement, to the effect that he had been making some fireworks, and that on the night in question the box, containing the powder, &a., was, con trary to his usual custom, left under the bed i❑ his mother's room; and as to the assertion that he was fre quently abusing his mother, that had no foundation in tact. now the explosion was occasioned he was quite unable to divine. The prisoner was remanded till to-morrow (this day week, when it is hoped that his mother and other wit nesses will be in attendance. The Magistrate expressed his willingness to accept bail for the prisoner, himself in 601,, and two sureties in 401. each. The prisoner not being provided with the sureties, was locked up. WORSHIP '-STREET. Mary Dias, a young woman of 18, was charged with robbery. The prisoner had, from motives of compassion, been taken into the service of a poor woman named Wiley, the wife of a weaver in Wellington-street, Bethnal•green, on Saturday, the 18th inst., and on the following Monday was found to have absented herself. As she did not re , turn, the prosecutor suspected that she had absconded altogether and robbed hor, and upon examining her drawers discovered that her husband's watch, his best suit of clothes, two cloaks and two shawls belonging to herself, and a number of other articles of wearing appa rel, in the whole of more than 71. in value, had been stolen. She gave information of the robbery to the po lice; but before they bad time to apprehend her the pri soner was brought to the station-house in Spitalfields and delivered up to the police by her own father, who charged her with robbing her mistress, an accusation the prisoner stoutly denied; but on the prosecutrix being fetched by a constable and confronted with her she remained silent, and Mrs. Wiley identified the very bonnet on her head as her property also, although she had not previously discovered her loss. It was then traced that she had pledged the greater portion of the stolen property on the Monday morning at the shop of a pawnbroker named Cocksedgs, in Church-street, Shoreditch ; the watch for 165., one of the cloaks for 10s., and some other portions of the property fur other amounts. The prisoner, who regarded her position with much indifference, declined offering any defence, and the de positions having been taken, she was fully committed to Newgate for trial. LAMBETH. Yesterday being appointed for the further examina tion-of Frederick William, alias Captain Routledge, the court, between the hours of one and two o'clock, became, as on the former examinations, much crowded, but, to the great disappointment of those who attended to bear the further evidence, he was too ill to be removed from prison, as will be seen from the following certificate, which was handed to Mr. Norton:— "I hereby certify that William Routledge is danger- ously ill and confined to his bed in the hospital of this gaol. " W. Helms, " Surgeon to the Surrey County Gaol at Honetnonger-lane. " Jtlrl. 27." Mr. Robinson informed the magistrate that since the last examination of the prisoner, Sergeant Quinnear and constable Melville, the officers engaged in the case, had traced the whole of the notes sent by Mr. Johnson, of St. Helen's, Lancashire, to the prisoner on the 7th of December last, to take up a bill for 2131. 169., and due on that day, to Routledge's possession, and this testi money, together with the production of the bill itself, would complete the evidence in the case of Mr. Johnson. He (Mr. Robinson) would be also prepared on a fu ture day to show that the acceptance to two bills of ex change, which had been sent by Routledge to a trades man at Macclesfield, were forgeries, and this, in his . (Mr. Robinson's) o pi n i on , wou ld b e a c l ear case o f forgery. small ledger, found in a secret drawer at the pri soner's residence, and in which he kept a minuto ac count of his daily, monthly, aed annual transactions, was produced to the magistrate. From entries in this book, all of which were in the prisoner's handwriting, it ap peared that in the year 1835 (the commencement of the book) the prisoner's receipts amounted to 1,2051. 2s. 6d.; in 1836, 1,0281. Bs. Ild.; in 1837, 1,535/. 2s. 6d.; in 1838, 1,0251. 14s. Bd.; in 1839, 5021. 35.; in 1840, 1,6971. 19s. 3d.; in 1841, 759/. Gs. 6d.; in 1842, 6101.; in 1843, 615/. 155.; in 1844, 5741.; in 1845, 1,140/.; in 1846, 6351.; in 1847, 336/4 in 1848, 3891.; in 1849, 1391.; and in 1850, 437/. In another part of the book the receipts for 1839 wero stated to be 4,7611; in 1840, 5,8081.; in 1841, 5,037/ ; and in 1842, 5,900/. From memoranda in the book itoutledge attributed the great disparity and fall ing off of his receipts in particular years to the exposures that occasionally followed the application of some of his dupes to a magistrate or the officers of justice. So keenly did itoutledge feel the force and effect of these ex posures, and particularly the exposure by a weekly paper of himself and his gang, that he went to the ex pense of getting a lengthened circular printed, in which he attacked in the most 'vile and filthy language its pro prietors and conductors. Among the prisoner's accounts were found those of a fashionable West-end tailor, from which it appeared that in 1836 he paid 30/. for an uni form worn by him on the occasion of his being presented at Court to the late King William IV., when he was re. presented as Captain Routledge, of the Somersetshire Militia. In the leger containing the above acc ounts there was found an engraving, which appeared to have been cut from some newspaper, of the prisoner in full uniform, and as he appeared at Court. Mr. NORTON inquired if the solicitors to the Bankers' Association were corning forward to lend their aid in the prosecution, which would be one of some diffi culty, end requiring the aid of a practised lawyer? Mr. Robinson replied that Messrs. Bush and Millions were merely solicitors to the London Bank<Ts' Associa tion, and as no attempt had been made to defraud the London bankers, and as it could not affi:ct the bankers in the metropolis in any way to have bills of exchange made payable at their houses even by swindlers, those gentlemen would not give any directions to the solicitors to the association, or interfere in the matter. Mr. Ro binson added that, in reply to some communications which had been made to persons, from whose letters, found amongst the prisoner's paper, it appeared they had had transactions with Routledge, he received an swers from attorneys, threatening actions and all sorts of pains and penalties, if he dare disclose the names of their clients as connected with the prisoner or his transactions. Mr. NORTON remarked that he did not think he (Mr. Robinson) had much to fear from such threats, and adjourned the further examination of the prisoner to a future day. In the course of the day Mr. Games, as the prisoner's solicitor, applied to Mr. Norton for an order to the of ficer Melville to givo him a few pounds more out of the 76 sovereigns found in the prisoner's drawers, and which appeared to be all the ready money he possessed at the time of his apprehension. Mr. Games said that out of the 5/. his Worship was so kind as to order him at the first examination, he had given upwards of 3/. to his client, and as the prisoner was at present in a dangerous state of illness, and required necessaries beyond the gaol allowance, he trusted his Worship would order him (Mr. Games) a few pounds more. Mr. NORTON, under the peculiar circumstances, or dered the officer to hand three sovereigns more to the prisoner's solicitor, which Melville at once com plied With. THE ARMY. The service has lost two other distinguished general officers, Lieutenant -General the Eton. Otway Trevor, Colonel of the 31st Regiment, and Major-General Fea ron, C.B. General Trevor served with the Coldstream Guards in the Peninsula, and commanded the regiment at Sala manca ; he was also present at Talavera and Busaco, and was appointed to the colonelcy of the 31st Regiment in 1847. General Fearon served long in the West Indies, where he was wounded; he was subsequently employed in Hol land and on the coast of France and Spain, the expedi tion to Quiberon, attack on Ferrol, and the Egyptian campaign in 1807, and the campaign of 1814-1815 in Italy, including the surrender of Naples and Genoa. He ako commanded the 31st Regiment on board the Kent East Indiaman when she was burned in the Bay of Bis cay in 1825, and was employed upon the staff in the East Indies until his promotion to the rank of major general. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Commander Donald Fernandez (1838), on the retired list under the Order in Council of 1816, died on the 24th instant at Southampton, in the 81st year of his age. He served 13 years afloat from his first entry into the navy in July, 1790, as midshipman of the Assistance, Captain Lord Cranstoun. He was confirmed a lieutenant in February, 1797, and in that month served in Lord St. Vincent's action. Ho was subsequently much engaged with the Spanish gun-boats and batteries near Cadiz. For a few months in 1803 he commanded the Speedwell brig, and for a short time was employed in the sea feu cibles. By the death of Commander Fernandez an out pension of Greenwich Hospital becomes vacant. Sidney B. Broome has been promoted to be acting gunner. Amphitrite, 26, Captain Frederick, went out of Ports mouth harbour yesterday morning, saluting the Ad wirers flag when off the Spit Buoy. The westerly wind is detaining the vessels at Spithead; but the American packet to New York sailed on Monday night in defiance of the foul wind.
