ALTSTRIX AND ÜBLIC THE FRENCH REP. The followlog appears in the semi-official Journal (le Frankfort of the 18th inst.:- 0 The affairs of France again present a threatening aspect. Revolution will break out a fresh uni if tl sal ie Vresident throws h im self into the arms, of ver suffrage. No one can doubt that in this case M. Louis Bonaparte will onwhily b hee a wnill i n strume nt then be unable to in the hands of democracy, ela keep under. "We have said in a previous article that the ' northern powers were far from meddling in any way in the internal affairs of France. If this country is to be a prey to anarchy, it must undergo the con sequences of such a state of things. We know that the rest of Continental Europe is on its guard against revolution, wherever it may come from. We know, also, that in view of such an event the most perfect agreement e xists between the Northern Powers. We know that all the intestine discords now existing in Germany upon material and formal questions will dipp-tsr when it becomes necessary to protect home and hearth against the invasion of r evolution which rosy not be confined to France, but w l be f o reed to Had an issue for its devastating current. -" In that case, the political question and the main tena.ece of society will absorb ad other interests. Ger many, instead of pursuing a federal organization. which, icdeed, meets with many difficulties, but which is not impossible, will be obliged to have recourse to military absolutism, as the sole expedient to prevent a catastrophe with nicewhh we are threatened by anarchist France enters into a path in labsolutism, so s hich the safety of the country can no longer depend on the energy of Government, but must fall into the quicksands of popular inconstancy. We repeat, the north ern powers will never meddle in the internal • affairs of France, but we do not deny that they only a watt t l a moment when France will meddle with theirs. Wha)*lHey fear is a perpetually precarious situation, whq&l may not even offer a gleam of con solidtation, which may maintain the rest of Europe on the f o oting of an armed peace. it m•ey those to whom are intrusted the destinies of France take this state of things into consideration; m ay they maintain intact their historical mission ; may they support themselves, not on the sovereign will of the people, which is nothing else but anarchy, but upon the energy of those who have all to lose and no thing to gain, and who perfectly understand that °ell order only depends on the rigorous accomplish ment of the laws made by those who are interested in their maintenance." This is the return of the Emperor of Austria for the prompt obedience of his orders paid by M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, in refusing to Kossuth a passage ti rough France. We congratulate M. Bonaparte on the great personal advantage he is likely to derive for his voluntary humiliation before the throne of the vassal of the Czar. ITALY. The official Gazette, 11 elfonitore Toscano, contains three decrees suppressing entirely the importance of the Tuscan Minister of Wa r, and putting the entire covtrol of the military resources of the Grand Duchy into the hands of Austria. The first decree is as follo•ws : " We, Leopold I . 1., 84 . e.—Considering our decree of this a 9 • ' date by which, in consequence of the retirement of 3y A - Vent. G,nertl Count Cesar de Laugier, the charge of Minister Secretary of State for the War Department is become vacant, and wishing to provide for the direc tion o f military affairs as well as fur the defini tive or . ganizatioa of our troops in the manner m ost suitable to Oe future wants and circumstances of the state, decree as follows:—' Art. 1. The decree of Oct. 22, 1843, is revoked, according to the terms of which the geceral command of the troops of the Grand Duchy having . been suppressed, the duties relative thereto were attached to the Ministry of War. Art. 2. The said ge neral c6inmand is re-established, with the prerogatives and attributions with which it was invested at the pe- ' riod of its suppression, and more particularly with those determined by the instructions approved by the royal nwtu proprio of February 19, 1820. We re serve, however, to ourselves the right of adding thereto any modifications which may appear neces svry. Art. 3. In consequence of the preceding articles, the attributions of the Ministry of War will boccme again such as before 1848 belonged to the old Secretary ship of War. Art. 4. The general inspections of the tro"os of the line and cavalry, instituted by the decrees of Nov. 8, 1848, aid Sept. 20, 1850, are suppressed, and the,ir duties transferred to the general command. Art. 5. The staff ..st present attached to the Ministry of War is dissolved, and the individuals composing, it placed in dis posability. Art. 6. The present functions cf the Minis ter of War are to be reformed and recast in proportion comaiensurate with the restricted duties of this depart ment." The next d , cree charges provisionally with the Ministry of War M. Beldasseroni, President of the Council and Minister of Finances. The third decree appoints, by its Ist article, the Chevalier Federigo Ferrari da Grade, formerly lieutenant-colonel in the Austrian army, to the rank of major-general in the TlF,cau troops, and invests him with the genral military command of the Grand Duchy. The 2d article assigns to General Ferrari the pay attributed to his rank by the Royal decree of May 20, 1850, besides the per quisites fcrmerly attached to the post of commander general. According to the 3d article General Fer rari is to propose and execute all that he deems of most use for thy definitive organization cf the troops of the Grand Duchy. The 4th article directs that these propositions are to be presented for the approba tion of the Grand Duk through the channel of the Minister of War, who will make kno• - .vn to the com mander -genera.' the decision of the Sovereign. It is reported that the Tuscan officers of the guard have offered to resign their commissions. THE UNITED STATES' ARCTIC EXPEDITION. (From the .New York Tribune.) The annexed letter from surgeon Kane to Mr. Henry Grinnell will be interesting, as giving the opinion of a competent observer in regard to the question of Sir John Franklin's position : " Rensselaer, near. Philadelphia, Oat. G. "My dear Sir,—You ask me whether I have changed the views I expressed to you when we parted in Mx of lest year as to the fate and actual position of Sir ..Man Franklin's party, and you remind me that I then thought the northward passage, by Wellington Channel, the one which they had most probably taken. " I have seen nothing since to change this opinion, hut many things to confirm it. You know that Sir John's instructions gave him the elternative of this course, after making a decided effort to proceed to the southward and westward from the neighbourhood of Cape Welker, and I need not renew to you the argu ments that have demonstrated his purpose to avail himself of this discretion. "Now our own observation, as well as all the in formation which we have derived from other sources, makes it seem an almost unvarying fact, that the ice holds much longer in those parts of the, Sound which are to the west and the south of Wellington Channel than in the channel itself. I should think it quite safe to say that, under ordinary circumstances, the navigation, though obstructed and difficult, would be practicable some weeks earlier by the northern than the western route. It seemed to mb, too, very de menstrabla from ascertained facts that the earlier leads occur on the eastern side of Wellington Channel. The currents from the Pole towards the Equator are modified, of course, by the rotary movement of the earth, and o ur own exper i ence d ur i ng our l ong d r if t down the western shores of Baffin's Bay confirmed the representations of all the whalers we met that in the first months of the season the greater - masses of Polar i ce track their way al ong th e western coasts, the easterncom, comparatively free. leavin g " The p os i t i on of Franklin's party in the winter of 184-G has now been definitively ascertained. It was in the cove between C and the so - ca ll e d Baechey Island, w hi c h is in Kileyn ve fe lrg et,apeninsula forming the south-eastern C ape of N ton Chann e l.

There can ben© doubt, then, either that Sir John did in fact proceed north from his first wintering ground, or that, at least, he made observations in that direction to a con _ Merable, and we do not know how great a distance. ` So much for deductions from the immediate re sults of your expedition, jointly with the British ex .paluoring parties; I say jointly, for you are aware that rnoved to , ether, and that the discoveries at and ge ar of bothwneartieonms.ade tQar CaPe Ailey ' " Whathee the southwa;d at the same time by Sir John Franklin had penetrated to at this poir , t marl westward before making harbour know that he'Zicit,elf.stion of minor importance.

THE SUN, you know, caught nearly opposite poor Franklin's first sojourn, and borne northward in the ice for 15 days, directly against the theoretical currents, and with great rapidity. We saw at this time high and dome-like ranges of land trending north-westwardly a-head of us, in the latitude of 70 deg. at least, and probably much further. The axis of the polar drift must then be more or less from the north-west, and must have its seats of greatest ice accumula tion along the northern coast of what we call Cornwal lis's Island. Into the region north and west of this, which for aught we know may be open always, and which must be open sometimes, as we know, a con tinuance of our drift for a few days longer would have carried the American squadron ; and it is not difficult to imagine that Sir John, if caught in the ice of Wellington Channel, may have been impelled by a like cause in the same direction, as certainly if he was not so caught he would follow the open water. I should say that he is now to be sought for north and west of Cornwallis's Island. As to the chance of the destruction of his party by the casualties of ice, the return of our own party, after something more than the usual share of them, is the only fact that I can add to what we knew when sve set out. The hazards from cold and privation of food may be almost looked upon as subordinate. The snow hut, the fire and light from the moss lamp fed with blubber, the seal, the narwhal, the white whale, and occasionally abundant stores of migratory birds, would sustain vigorous life. The scurvy, the worst visitation of explorers, deprived of permanent quarters, is more rare in the depths of a polar winter than in the milder weather of the moist summer, and our two little vessels encountered both seasons with out losing a man. " My impressions are, I think, sufficiently definite as to the manner in which such an expedition should proceed with reference to its great object ; but I will not inflict on you a longer letter upon topics which it has not been within my official sphere to consider, and on which my friends, the officers with whom I have associated, are better qualified to decide than myself.—l am, dear Sir, very truly yours, g, E. K. KANE, P. A. Surgeon, U. S. Navy. " Mr. Henry G-riunell, New York." CHARGES OF ADMINISTERING POISON. On Thursday, the 2nd instant, Mary Rowlinson, widow, Charlotte Sparkes, single woman, and two illegitimate children of the latter, who resided with William Rowlinson, the father-in-law of the former, at a place called Sowley-green, about a mile and a half from the village, on the way to Stradishall, dined off dumplings and potatoes ; old Rowlinson, who is about 80 yearn of age, being absent at the time. Whilst eating the dumpling, they perceived a hot and scalding sensation in the throat, and, being afterwards seized with pain in the stomach and vo miting, they became alarmed and their neighbours were called in, when suspicion arising that they had taken poison, a portion of the dumpling which re mained was given to a cat and a dog, both of which were similarly attacked with sickness. Mr. Baker, surgeon, of Thurlow, was in consequence called in, and, by the application of proper remedies, the suf ferers are all likely to recover. A portion of the vomit of the cat and dog, and some of the flour from which the dumplings were made, were sent to Mr. Deck, the well-known chemist, at Cambridge, for analysis, and were found to contain a considerable quantity of arsenic. On Wednesday last an investigation into the case took place before the Rev. W. Mayd, at the Crown Inn, Great Thurlow, when, in consequence of circum stances which had transpired, a warrant was issued against William Rowlinson, and he was brought be fore the magistrate, and remanded until Saturday. On Saturday an examination took - place at the office of Mr. Jardine, the clerk to the magistrates, at Haverhill, when Mr. White, a shopkeeper at Great Thurlow, deposed that the prisoner bought some arsenic of him about a month ago, under the plea of destroying rats and mice, and Mr. Deck, of Cambridge, proved the presence of arsenic in the flour and the vomit. It also appeared that the prisoner not only was himself absent from dinner on that day, but had also cautioned Charlotte Sparkes and her children not to eat his daughter-in-law's food, for fear of sickness. The prisoner, who appeared very dejected, and had refused all fool for the first two days after his apprehension, was remanded to Clare station. It appears that Mary Rawlinson and her husband resided with the old man, and after the young man's death his widow continued with her father-in law, and Sparkes and her children were lodgers ; that for some months past a man named Thomas Jar man had been paying his addresses to Mary Rowlin son, and they were to be married this Michaelmas, but the old man objected to ths match, partly in consequence of the greater portion of the furniture i❑ the house belonging to the daughter-in-law, which she would remove on her marriage ; and she had had frequent disputes with him on the subject. Rowlin son himself was considered a respectable old labourer, and received part of his maintenance from the parish, but on his apprehension the sum of 11/. ss. NI. was found in his pocket, with a watch, &c. It appears that for some time past considerable sickness has prevailed at Sowiey-green, and twenty four persons connected with the families residing there have been similarly affected. One poor woman, after visiting Mary Rowlinson, her sister, about six weeks ago, and partaking of her food, was taken ill and died in about six hours after. The conduct of Mr. White in selling the arsenic, in violation of the late Act of Parliament, will no doubt be the subject of magisterial inquiry.—Bury Pest. MARKET INTELLIGENCE (From the London New Price Current, Oct. 21.) SCGAR.—To-day there was less excitement in the West India Sugar Market, yet importers were firm, and obtained rates equal to those of Friday ; there was also a good home trade demand.

TALLow.—Although there are sellers of Russian on the spot at a further reduction, yet home dealers cannot be induced to purchase more than sufficient for their present wants. Fine old Yellow Candle is offered at 375, and new 37s 6d to 38s per cwt; from these terms, however, little variation is looked for. Opera tions are limited for delivery, and the rates acceded to are 373 6d for new up to the close of the year, and at 38s for the early part of 1852. Home melted is cheaper, limited transactions having taken place at 37s to 38s net cash. Other sorts are also lower, and supply exceeds dealers' wants. Oms.—Operations in Linseed Oil continue upon a small scale both by shippers and home dealers, although there are sellers at the moderate rates of 22s 9d to 30s per cwt. The contracts concluded for delivery are small at 29e 6d, and the supply of oil is plentiful. In Rape Oil many purchases have been made, yet no advance has been produced—brown selling at 30s to 30s 6d, pale 31s 6d to 32s ; Refined Foreign 333 to 345. Palm continues to be much wanted; and good to fine sorts realised 27s to 28s. Cocoa Nut is in bri3k demand, and the upward movement continues. A public sale of 100 packages of Cochin went at 34s to 363 for mid to flue quality. There is still a large business doing in Olive Oil, and merchants remain firm : they obtain for Gilltpoli 411 103 to 421103, and other sorts 401 to 411 per tun. For Seal Oil a brisker demand exists i❑ conse quence of 321 to 321 10a having been taken for pale ; and 301 to 311 103 for other sorts. Cod is cheaper, limited parcels sold at 341 lOs to 35/. There is a reluc tance to operate in Southern Oil, and common to fine quality can be obtained at from 30/ lOs to 321. Holders of Sperm, however, yet evince confidence, and several transactions have taken place at from 841 to 871. Head matter is worth 931 to 951 per tun.

(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge.) Margaret Carey, 24, was indicted for stealing, in the dwelling-house of Henry Lambert, a gold watch, value 131., and six sovereigns, his property and moneys. The prosecutor was a publican, keeping the Cale donian Arms, Caledonian-road ; and about a fort night ago the prisoner entered his service as a maid of all work. It was his custom to keep money in a cash-box, which was deposited in an iron safe in his bed-room, to which there were two keys, one of which he kept himself, and the other was kept by Mrs. Lambert, in a dressitg-case in the bed-room. On Tuesday last, whilst the prisoner was employed scour ing the bed-room, the prosecutor went to the safe, and at that time there were 46 sovereigns in it, but when he went to it again same short time afterwards, he found that six sovereigns had been abstracted. Suspecting the prisoner, and knowing that she had no money when she entered his employ, he examined a bundle belonging to her, and in the pocket of a gown h© found three sovereigns, one of which he recognized, by a peculiar mark, as one he had put in the cash-box on the preceding Saturday. Mrs. Lambert's key was found safe in the dressing• case. The prisoner, when accused, was excessively insolent, and a police man was called in awl directed to take her into cus tody. The prisoner then said she would not go with out an old petticoat which was in the back kitchen or washhouse ; but that was disregarded, and she was conveyed to the station-house. Afterwards, on a fur ther examination of the safe, a gold watch was missed, and after a search it was found wrapped up in the petticoat which the prisoner had been so desirous of possessing when she was apprehended, and which was found in the back washhouse, concealed under the sink. The jury found thi prisoner Guilty, and the Court sentenced her to nine months' imprisonment. In the case of Du'dale, of Holy well-street, who was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, for having in his possession, with intent to sell, obscene prints and publications, it was submitted on his behalf that no offence was stated on the face of the indictment, and the Court took time to consider whether it would grant a case on the point, for the decision of the Court of Appeal. The Learned JunGE now said that he had well considered the matter, and his opinion was that the indictment was sufficient. He should, therefore, leave the defendant to his writ of error, if his advisers thought it desirable that he should avail himself of it. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET. A middle-aged man named Francis Siarbook, de scribed as a fruiterer, in Burnett's-building, Bethnal green, was placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncourt charged with a criminal assault upon his servant Emma Allen, a girl twelve years of age. The complainant stated that she had been for a con siderable period in the service of the prisoner, who was a married man with a family of three children. The prisoner had never exhibited any impropriety in his conduct towards her until the evening of Friday se'nnighr,!when he called her into the bedroom during the temporary absence of his wife, and without utter ing a word, caught hold of ber and proceeded to acts of the grossest description. She used her utmost efforts to escape from him, and screamed loudly for assistance, but the only persons in the house at the time were his own children, whom she had just put to bed, and he succeeded in perpetrat ing the outrage complained of. She had been ever since in extreme personal suffering from the effects of his infamous conduct towards her, but was too much ashamed to communicate the facts to any one until the preceding day, when her illness attracted the notice of her father, in answer to whose in quiries she made a full disclosure of the treatment to which she had been subjected, and be gave the prisoner into custody. Police-constable Middleton, 474 N, stated that on apprising the prisoner of the nature of the charge when he took him into custody the prisoner re marked that he had heard all about it, but that he was innocent of the charge, and was glad that he had an opportunity to clear himself of it. Mr. George Coward, the divisional surgeon of police, who attended the complainant, deposed to ap• pearances which went to satisfy him that extreme violence had been used towards her, and that a capital offence had been completed. The prisoner, who remained perfectly silent during the investigation, and offered no defence, was ordered to be remanded for a week. MARLBORO UGH-STREET: Thomas Robert Mellish, manager, and James Douglas, clerk, in the employ of the Patent Silvering Glass Company, Berners-street, Oxford street, were brought up for further examination, charged with having fraudulently embezzled upwards of 3,0001., the property of the company. Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Wakeling were for the prosecution ; Mr. Lewis for the prisoners. The evidence in support of the charge was developed at several examinations, but, from its extreme length and obscurity, the charge was not very strongly made out. The evidence was mainly directed to prove that for a length of time the prisoner Mellish, in con junction with Dougias, had committed frauds on the company by paying the workmen one amount of wages and charging another amount to the company, by paying the tradesmen's bills, and by charging higher amounts to the company by the aid of dupli cate bills. Mr. Frederick Hall Thompson said he was by pro fession a surgeoe, but carried on the glass silvering business in Berners-street, in partnership with Mr. Varnish and others. In the autumn of 1849, the prisoner Mellish was engaged to manage the glass department. The prisoner, before being engaged, stipulated to have the engaging of all the workmen; that they should be under his control ; and that he should not be unnecessarily interfered with in big de partment. The pay of the prisoner was to be six guineas a week. Before this engagement had taken place witness entered into partnership with Mr. Varesi e About five Months afterwards the prisoner Douglas was engaged as clerk, to assist the prisoner Mellish. His wages were to be from 255. to 30s. per week. In consequence of the large sums paid in the shape of wages and tradesmen's bills, he told Mellish the company appeared to bi led into great expenses without any visible return. The prisoner Mellish always answered, when so accosted, " Have patience." Had never heard of double bills from the tradesmen. Cross-examined—Mellish had the hiring workmen. The wages book was actually in Mel- Hall's desk. Had frequently seen Mellish with pencil in hand examining the wages book. At the end of the week Mellish and Douglas sent the wages book to the chief clerk, Dean. Mellish knew the exact amount of the wages bills. Prosecutor purchased the silvering patent. Mellish had also a patent, but not of the same description. Did not recollect there being a partnership agreement with Mellish. Did not destroy a partnership agreement with Mellish. Some premises were opened in Regent-street in the name of Mrs. Mellish, and goods were invoiced by the company to Mrs. Mellish. The premises were given up, but had a doubt whether the goods were returned. After the discovery was made that fraud had been committed, the books were examined, and 3,0001. was the amount up to the present time pre sumed to be deficient. Mellish had declared that he could prove, either night or day—they were his words—that the accounts were correct, and that vou chers could be produced. It had been discovered that as much as 100 per cent. had been repeatedly overcharged on the workmen's wages. Mr. Edward Varnish, Hyde Park-gardens Villas, in partnership with Mr. Thompson and others, was present when Mellish was engaged, and heard him stipulate to have the control and engagement of the workmen. Had frequently seen Mellish with the wages book checking the accounts. The book was usually kept on his desk. The prisoner Douglas was engaged as clerk at Mellish's recommendation. John Lay, glass engraver, 43, Stanhope-street, had been employed by Mellish to do work for Varnish and Co. Sent in a bill to Varnish and Co. for 14s. Was paid the amount by Mellish, and was told to make out a second bill. Did so, and receipted it at Mellish's request. That bill had been altered from 143. to it. 14s. Had given duplicate bills for work done on more than twenty occasions. Benjamin Dean, chief clerk, proved that the bill for 1/. 14s. in the book was entered in Douglas's handwriting. The prisoner Mellish must have seen the book, as the glass department was under his control. Thomas Harris, glass stainer, had done work for the firm. His bill on one occasion came to 143. Douglas told him to make out a duplicate bill. Did so, and the duplicate bill had since been altered to 3/. 143. J d. William Benson had sent in various bills to the company for work done. One bill, for 83., had been altered to 21. Bs.; another for 10s., to 21. 103.; ano ther for Bs., to 21. Bs. ; and another 103., to 41. 10s. Witness, at the request of the prisoner, usually re ceipted two bills. _ The above was the substance of the evidence placed on the depositions. The alleged embezzlement was found out in this accidental way :—The book in which the payments were entered was lying open, and one of the persona who had been paid, seeing a larger amount entered to him than he received, made the circumstance known, and an investigation was immediately entered upon. Douglas admitted the charge against him, and did not deny that he had made the alterations in the vouchers. This avowal, however, did not relieve Mellish from suspicion, as it was presumed he could not have been ignorant of the alterations in the books and the bills, as he had them constantly under his notice, and it was his duty to see they were correct. The prisoners were fully committed ; but, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, Mellish was admitted to bail. SOUTHWARK. Mary Reddington, a woman of the town, was placed at the bar before Mr. a'Beckett, charged with stealing a watch and chain, value 141., from the person of Mr. Charles Hobson, an engineer, residing in New-street, Southwark-bridge-road. The complainant stated that on Sunday evening last, after coming out of Rowland Hill's chapel, he met a friend named Snelling, and they went and had some refresement at a public-house in Union-street. After quitting the house and taking leave of his friend, as he was walking towards home, he was suddenly attacked and knocked down, and while lying on the ground the prisoner snatched the watch and chain out of his pocket and ran away. He added that he had an opportunity of seeing the features of the person who robbed him, and had no doubt the prisoner was the person. In reply to Mr. A'BECKETT, the complainant said that he had no previous conversation with the prisoner; that he believed it was some of her associates who knocked him down ; that when he was on the ground she then came up and stole the watch ; that he called out when on the ground, but no one came to his as sistance ; and that he afterwards gave a description of the prisoner at the station-house, and that she was taken into custody. lie could not be mistaken with regard to the prisoner's identity, and knew that the charge was one of a very serious nature as affected the prisoner. Mr. Snelling was then called, and his account of the transaction was, that on the night in question he and the complainant went to two public-houses after chapel, and that he observed the prisoner, who was very desirous the complainant shouldaccompany her, for a length of time following them about. Soon after they left the Crown and Anchor, where they had their parting glass, he (witness) again saw the prisoner when they came out, and she again intruded herself into the complainant's company. He (wit ness) then left them and went home, and when he saw his friend the next morning, he informed him of his having been robbed of his watch by the woman that he saw in his company on Sunday night. Mr. A'BECKETT remarked on the discrepancies in the statements cf the complainant and witness with respect to the circumstances attending the alleged charge, and said that he should not commit the pri soner for trial on the evidence as it stood, but the complainant might have a❑ opportunity of indicting her before a grand jury, who were then sitting at the Sessions House. It will be recollected that a few days since two sis ters from Ireland, named Suban, made an application to Mr. a'Beckett, relative to their distressed condi tion, and asserting that their father had been a butler in the family of the Marquis of Lansdowne; that subsequently to their parent's death they had inha bited a cabin on the Marquis of Lansdowne's estate in the county of Cork ; and that about two months ago they were advised by his Lordship's agent to quit their home, and to come over to London, where, they were informed, they would be enabled to make out a comfortable livelihood ; that, acting upon such advice, they did give up their cabin, and came to London, but found that they could not obtain any em ployment, and would have been reduced to a state of starvatio❑ had it not been for the kind sympathy of a Mrs. Johnson, who assisted them with shelter and food as long as she was able, and who accompanied them to this court to make the circumstances of the case known with a view that something ,might be done for them. On the occasion of the above appli cation, Mr. a'Beckett perceiving the improbability of two such persons as the applicants, both being far ad vanced in life, obtaining situations by which they could earn their bread in London, advised their imme diate removal back to Ireland, a step which has since been carried into effect. In the course of yesterday Mr. a'Beckett received a note from the Marquis of Lansdowne, in reference to the subject above-men tioned. It ran thus:— " Bowood, Oct. 20. " Lord Lansdowne presents his compliments to Mr, a'Beckett, and his attention having been called to a report a few days ago of the proceedings at the South wark Police-court, in which it appeared that two women of the name of Suban represented themselves to be daughters of a person who had been butler in his family, and that they had been sent from a cabin on his estate in the county of Cork,—he therefore thinks it right to prevent Mr. a'Beckett and the public being imposed upon by stating that he never had a butler of the name of Suban, and that he was never possessed of an estate in the county of Cork. " G. A. a'Beckett, Fasq., Southwark Police-office." LAMBETH. Mr. Theodosius Williams, the proprietor of the Post. office Coffee-house, 26, St. Martin's-le-Grand, was brought up on a warrant for having neglected to pay to Mary Ann Tinlin the sum of 20s. towards the support of his illegitimate child. From the statement of the complainant, a respect able -looking young woman, who had been brought up:in the family of the defendant, it appeared that she had sworn the child to Mr. Williams, at this court, three years ago last February, and that ever since then she had exprerienced the greatest possible diffi culty in obtaining from him the payment of the ma gistrate's award of half-a-crown a week. Such, she said, was the repugnance of the defendant to keep up his payments of this paltry sum, and her difficulty:in obtaining it, that she lost at least eighteen months' money, by allowing that length of time to elapse be yond the thirteen weeks for which alone the law en abled her to recover. His excuse against paying the eight weeks at present due was the assertion that the child was dead, and for this she had been put to the expense of having the child brought to town from a distance of 200 miles. She sent word to the defend ant where he might see the child if he thought proper, but he declined to do so. The defendant, when asked what he had to say to the charge, replied that he conceived the you n g wo man bound to produce some evidence besides her own to satisfy him that the child was living, more parti cularly as he could produce evidence of the fact of her having said it had died. The complainant, who seemed very much affected, admitted that she had said so to Mr. Williams's housekeeper, but this was at his own earnest solicits tion, and his going on his knees to pray that she would do so, to procure for him peace and quietness at home. Mr. Williams did not reply to this, and Mr. ELLIOTT, remarking that the case was made out to his satisfaction, told the defendant that, unless he paid 1/. 53. 61., the claim and costs, he must com mit him to prison for one month.—The money was paid. GRAVESEND PETTY SESSIONS, Oct. 20. (Magistrates present—R. OAKES (in the chair), E. TICKNER, and C. SPENCER, Escpl) _ _ William Henry Carlin►, of Ludgate-hill, London, tobacconist, against whom a warrant was issued on the 16th inst., charging him with violently assaulting Ellen Bishop and violating her person, on the night of the Bth of July last, appeared this day to answer the charge. The court, by the direction of the bench, was cleared of all but the friends of Mr. Carlin, the reporters, and the parties concerned in the hearing of the case. Mr. Humphrey, solicitor, of London, attended for the defence. The first witness called was Mrs. Charlotte Wills, who deposed that she was a widow, residing at 151, Windmill-street, Gravesend, in which house she was in the habit of letting fur nished apartments. Ellen Bishop, the prosecutrix, had lived with her for a period of seven years at Gravesend and other places, and she had all that time considered her to be a modest and correct girl. On the 16th of June last the prisoner (Mr. Carlin) took her furnished apartments for himself and his wife for three months, and came into occupation of them on that day. On the following day (the 17th) she, after leaving Ellen Bishop in charge of the house and instructing her to be careful in her conduct and at tention to the lodgers, went to Brighton for change of air. The three months, for which time the lodg ings were taken by the prisoner, expiring on the 16th September, she came home on the 15th but did not sleep in the house that night, as no bed had been prepared for her. On the following morning, in consequence of a communication made to her by Ellen Bishop, on her*(witness's) return.home, she had an in terview with the prisoner in the sitting-room he occu pied, and she accused him of having committed a rape on the body of Ellen Bishop, her servant. He said in reply to the accusation that he was drunk at the time, and incapable of doing any injury to the poor girl, and added—"you, as a married woman, Mrs. Wills, ought to know that." The prisoner's wife was in the room over the parlour, and might have heard the charge made against her husband. Fie called his wife down, and told her to go down the street and fetch a chaise, as they were prepared to leave at the time. Witness then called up Ellen Bishop, who, when she came into the room, accused the prisoner of having forced her into his bedroom, and kept her there for five hours; to which he replied, " You must have been dreaming, girl ;" and she re plied that she had not been dreaming, and that she well knew she was telling the truth. The chaise then came to the door, and the prisoner on going out said to witness, " If you want to carry the matter farther, send your solicitor to me, and I will face him ; but take care of what you are about, or I may bring an action against you for conspiracy." Witness told him her character was too good a one, and nobody would believe her capable of being guilty of so base an act ; and that she fully believed the girl's statement to be true. Prisoner then left the house. There was no other witness present when Ellen Bishop repeated her charge against the prisoner. Cross-examined by Mr. HUMPHREY—The girl Bishop told me of the assault on her by Mr. Carlin, on the evening of the 15th of September, shortly after I returned home. The interview I had with Mr. Carlin on the following morning lasted about half an hour. He paid me his bill short of 165., which he disputed and refused to pay, saying it was an over charge. We had some words about it, and I threatened if he did not pay the 16s. that I would ;summon him for it. He has not paid it since, but I will make him do so. The girl was not in the room, but she might have heard all that passed, as I told her to be on the stairs in case I should call her to make her charge against Mr. Carlin to his face. There were no other money matters between the prisoner and me. It was after the dispute about the 16s. that I made the accusation against him about the girl. I did not say to him, " Give the girl 51. or 101. and settle the matter with her." This I positively swear. I had been to the house on either the let, the 21, or the 3d of August, but I cannot recollect which of those days. I saw Ellen Bishop, and asked her how she was get ting on ? to which she replied, " Not very well ma'am; I have something to tell you, if von can stay." But I could not stay, as I was afraid of being too late for the two o'clock boat, by which I was to go to London on my way back to Brighton. I had come to the house that morning, and did not stay long. I remarked that the girl seemed scarcely able to walk. I was not at the house again till the 15th of September, or at any time but on the occasion 1 mention, between the 17th of June and the 15th of September. The parents of Eden Bishop are living, and residing at Goole, in Yorkshire. Ellen Bishop, a plain and modest-looking girl, de posed that she was twenty-one years of age, and had been seven years in the service of Mrs. Wills, nearly the two last of which they resided in Gravesend. Mr. Carlin and his wife came to reside in her mistress's house, No. 151, Windmill -street, about the mid,lie of June, and left about the middle of September last. Her mistress left home on the day after they came, leaving her in care of the house. Mr. Carlin used to go up to London every other evening, and coma down the following morning. Mr. Carlin slept in the house but on two occasions, when Mrs. Carlin was not there. Heard of a ball to be given in London to the Queen. On the Monday before the ball, which she heard was to be on the Wednesday (July 9), Mr. and Mrs. Carlin went to London, with the intention, as they told her, of going to the ball. On Tuesday night, at about eleven o'clock, Mr. Carlin came to the house, and said he had come down by the last train, and would stop the night. He bad some brandy and water in the dining-room. He did not go out again that night. She was sitting up ; there was nobody else in the house In about a quarter of an hour after he went up stairs as if to go to bed. She went up stairs in a short time after to go to her bedroom, which was on the same floor with that of Mr. Carlin. He was standing at the top of the stairs when she went up, and he asked her to come and sleep with him. She said she would not. He then caught her by the shoulder, and said, "you must," when she straggled, and got away from him, but he again caught hold of her and dragged her into his bedroom, and wanted her to undress her self. She refused to do so, and he opened the upper part of her dress at the back, and at length undid all of her clothes and pushed her into the bed. She had nothing on but her night-gown. He was undressed and got into the bed. (Here, after considerable hesi tation, the witness detailed circumstances confirma tory of the criminal charge against the prisoner.) She added that she had resisted all she could, but did not cry out as she thought it useless, there being no one in the house, and the door of the room was locked by the prisoner previous to his getting into the bed. He held her so fast she could not get out of the bed. She remained in the bed till five o'clock in the morn ing, but did not go to sleep. She was very ill. Be lieves the prisoner slept. He was asleep when she got up and left the room. To the BENCR—The prisoner had gone into her room when she was undressed and brought her her night-gown. She did not then try to leave his room, as he locked her in. When he pushed her into the bed she got under the bed clothes. She struggled as much as she could against him. When he went to her room for her night-gown, she might have followed him out. Mr. Humphrey was proceeding to cross •ezamine the witness, when The CMAIRBIAN, after a short consultation with the other magistrates, said that there was in the opinion of the Bench no evidence to support the criminal charge set forth in the warrant. independent of the discrepancies between the prosecutrix's statement to the magistrates at the time the warrant was obtained, and her present statement, it appeared to the bench that, according to her own evidence, she was in some degree a consenting party to the violation of her per son ; and whatever their opinion may be of the con duct of the prisoner in taking advantage of her un protected situation, they felt bound to dismiss the case. The Bench then told Mrs. Wills that her con duct in bringing the case before the magistrates was creditable to her; she was bound to protect her ser vant from injury, and especially so iu a case like the present.
