THE ItV6ii.THER AND THE CROPS. LONGFORD.—After three or four weeks of constant stLeery and windy weather, on Tuesday last it cleared and beceime beautifully fine, and we have not had any rata since. It is astonishing what an improvement so sh. rt a drought has effected in the appearance of the country, and we anticipate a great fall in the price of produce, if the weather which Providence has favoured us with this week should last but ten or twelve days longer.—Journal. 'itsaes.—The improvement in the weather has pro duced a good effect upon the crops. Most of the wheat in ties neighbourhood of this town has been cut down (luring the past week, and great progress has been made in hay-making. The price of potatoes has come down ; tt ey are now selling at from 2d. to 3d. per stone. There was a large supply of new wheat, and oat straw at market this week, which sold at Is. 6d. to ls. Sd. per cwt.—Herald. I)IIOCHEDA.—In this neighbourhood, during the week the weather has been most propitious for the ripening of the crops. The air was almost oppressively warm and close—very many commenced reaping ; and if it con• tinues this way until Monday next, the sickle will be in very general use.—Argus. Serco.—Judging from the accounts which have reached us from all parts of Great Britain and Ireland reTresenting the state of the crops, and from our own observations in this district, we believe the prospect of an abundant harvest, which appears with the favourable change in the weather, will not prove deceptive. The wheat crop has suffered some injury, but if the weather holds good, a fair yield may be expected. The oats and barley still revive beneath the sunshine with which the country is now blessed, and has been so ardently wished for. The potatoes were becoming very wet from the continued rain, but now we begin to hope that their quality and weight will exceed an average crop.— Tyree* Herald. lisseay.—A glorious change has taken place in the weather this week, and the surrounding fields of grain have quickly assumed the mellow hue of autumn. We mast that no time will be lost in securing the crops, which are in general most luxuriant, and far less in jured by the unfavourable weather in the preceding part of the month than was previously apprehended. With the exception of Monday, in the afternoon of which seine very heavy showers fell, every day has been dry and warm. The steamers have been conveying thousands of reapers from our shores to Scotland, on every trip this week. There are numbers of fields ready for the sickle et home, which, we hope, will sus tain no damage by the temporary scarcity of labour among as.—Sentinel. Kamm—Since our last a very welcome change has taken place ; the glass since Tuesday has been gradually intlieating the approach of fine weather, the hand having now nearly reached 30, or " fair." Several fields of wheat lend oats are being cut in the surrounding country. Coal:, Atte. 28.—After some weeks of anxious sus pense as to the results of the approaching harvest, we are arrived at a time when a fair judgment may be f >reed as to the quantity and quality of the produce generally . ; and as the result of minute inquiries from cei:ies best qualified to afford correct and disinterested *dorms tioden the subject, we may state that the early whet crop; have been partially damaged by the heavy rains that have fallen, in some instances to the ex• tent of one-tenth, and in others of about one-sixth :the produce that, had the weather been fair and rinening at the time the ear was filling, would have been ) , fr ei e ieti. The spring wheat, however, is very little, if at a il, Damaged ; the oats and barley fields are looking Ite:ithy attel luxuriant, and green crops were never finer ~s ' r , ,e„ preses sing• flay is an abundant crop, and we are iaformed that 't may be had in the neighbourhood _ of Fesmoy at from to 355. per ton, where at this over 3/. The weather since time year it brought, ty hat been of the mos: favourable kind for all hsrvoet operations, and a contians:nce of such must do hieelculahle service through the country. Reaping may i new be said to be general in the neighbe:rhood of Cork, .and in many districts of the county ; aie: l iL.is est:ter...eel that several samples of new wheat will oe t e lught to market on Saturday, the condition of which, an d the price it, may command, will materially indicate the fusure pro Teets of the harvest.—Cork Reporter. Nietaett.—Tiw weather for the last four days has tweet e xceedingly fine and propitious for harvest opera teens. In a great district of country, the reapers arei =- dee, eioutily at work, and very many fields have fallen m eet the active sickle. In a few days reaping will be come goaeral. We have not heard many disheartening aee earae either of the quality or produce of the corn fislas—but in some places, it is observed, ripening has e progressed as satisfactorily as is desirable. In the g's County, Clare, and Limerick, the state of the crepe is equally gratifying, and we entertain a sangeine hope Itiat the harvest will prove, in every re•pect, fur .better then was anticipated. — Vindicator. MoNectuaN.—ln eenseqnonce of the anxiety of men's rmeieds about the state of the crop:, and in order to give 4 el...elder:4 the fullest possible information on a subject , s. s aeh importance to them, we have felt it our duty to inspi et the grain crops in various parts of this county, reel ewe LiAO no time in publishing the results of our oteservatiens. Various doubts have been raised in &resent pla,cee es t ) whether the quality of grain would, ceesesquance of the variable st'tte of the weather, be :us good this year as Jast; but we are happy to be able to at. so ; . ar as our uhservatiens have gone, that the epeets of the Lamer are most promising. We have , peen any of this year's wheat as yet brought out for eele. hut us soon as it is we shall repert upon it fur our ri ilifurtuation.--/Vor there Standard. T U LLAZIORE.—The weather, though not wet, has 17 , sit letet:e dark and cold ; any rain that has fallen being prine'epelly at night. The barely crop, which is eery etiod. it now cutting ; ax is also bore, of which there is bat little sown in this neighbourhood. The wheat crop ie. ripening fast, though sunshine aeuld be desirable te hasten them ; oats is also approaching to maturity ; and though these crops will be unusually late, they will be abundant. The farmers, however, say that the produce will not prove equal to the appearance. 'The hay 'rep is muted) , got its, and is both good and Ineavy ; but on account of last year's lightness and no OS hay left, farmers should be careful of their present Aloe's, at there is no doubt it will be high before next eroa.--Leinstes Exp , ess. GAr,wAY.—We feel happy in being able to inform the put,iic that the apprehensions entertained for the carat; of She harvest may be said to be at an end. The crops. in all parts of the country, are ih the most forward Joel promising state. In this neighbourhood a good deal 4ef the wheat is already cut down, and the oats and bar liey will shortly be ripe for the sickle. Meadow is ellen tdaet, ate' widow have potatoes yielded a better or more plentiful return. There is every prospect that, with the blessing of Providence, food will be cheap during the coaling season.— l'iedicater. BELFAST.—Thursday and Friday were dry, dark, and we ern. Reaping is now general ; and we expect there wilt be no lagging on the part of the farmers ; at least, if thee know their own interest, there will not. One of ,r the inhst sights we have witnessed this seaso n was at Cast'enelling'harn a few days ago. Mr. Woolsey set t', in goo 1 earnest, on Wednesday morning se'nnight, and, Pea teatucclay night, had cut down and stocked 300 acres 4.4 prime grain, in the finest condition. This is an iexample worthy of imitation by agriculturists, great or small. In no district of the country have we witneesed tech splendid crops as those which he netween Newry and POTta own ; and the north, generally, seems foremost this year in the weight and leeeiless of grain. Probably this is the result of good ; for our climate is generally much inferior to the war provincee. Wheat is not so forward as oats ; 'tut all description of grain are now ready, or nearly ready, for the sickle. Thrift, thrift, is now the word ; and we earnestly trust it will not be lost sight of.— Nott:iesii Wee - vet:roan, A etc. 30.—The weather has at length set in very line, and now seems fixed. Yesterday (Fri flitj ) iras beautifully fine and warm ; and to-day is •everything the farmer could desire. The potato crop litas all the appearance of being most favourable. Reap iing it progressing rapidly, and harvestmen now find easy to obtain employment. Large bodies of them passed by our etlice at an early hour this morning, on their way to the country —Chronicle. HERRING FISHERY. - I, , cenau, Auo. 30.—The fishing on Thursday was ( l ie- -yesterday it was in general light. This morning it i ‘ :nude better, being a fair average fishing. From the talLire in the north several new cures have arrived; culling prire, 12s. per cran. llestwicx, AUG. 29. Our fishing on Monday and Teteelay was pretty good, but since that a failure has :taken place., and this morning the boats are all clean, rand we do not hear of any at all. We strongly advise «Jur men to persevere till the end of September, as on reimy occasions they have given over the fishing before af'e grea'er shoals came in shore. Norrrit SUNDERLAND.—The herring fishing has been very unsuccessful during the last fourteen days, the Peather being so bad as t) prevent the boats going to ' until the 24th invent ; and since then the fishing ibe.s made little improvement, although some few boats read :t pretty good take on Mondly morning, and on T o e:flay some boats had as high as twenty-five craze.. 0, , Vednesday morning the fishing looked a good deal bet, er, and all the boats had herrings, more or less, from one .o twenty-three crans ; but on Thursday the fishing ..vat not so good, the highest boat fourteen crans.

On ',fond-y, Tuesdisy, and Wednesday, the take was very general, “ i el tile average, each, may be stated at about 18 trans.

HOP INTELLIGENCE. BITRWASH, AUG. 31.—The somewhat showy appear ance which the forward sorts of hops are assuming in some of our plantations, is beguilin - g many people into a belief that we shall get this season a somewhat heavy crop. The eye of the experienced planter, however, de-' tects deficiencies in our prospects which escape the ob servation of persons less watchful, because not so im mediately interested in the progress of the plant. He will tell you that, in his opinion, we shall get a " top crop" merely ; that in many gardens the lower leaves are turning yellow ; that the less forward sorts are, in most places, still in burr ; and where in hop are making little apparent improvement, they seem so " buttony," so stinted. The sorts, too, that are more advanced, are not, he says, likely to be full of condition—their growth has been too sudden. The duty is thought, about here, to be over set. HEATHFIELD, AUG. 30.—Notwithstanding the wea ther is now more dry and settled, and peculiarly favour able for the harvest, the cold nights, accompanied with strong and at times violent north-easters, so retard the growth of hops, that many are of opinion the backward burr of the grape hops can never develop themselves. In . most gardens there are numerous stages of growth, from the tolerably large hop to the smallest sickly-look ing burr, and while the more advanced stages are appa rently forcing their way to maturity, great numbers of those in the rear will evidently be light and useless. HORSMONDEN, AUG. 30.—The hops in this parish will, we believe, equal, if not again surpass any parish in the kingdom. The late fine weather has brought them ge nerally into full development. The Jones's in many gardens are splendid ; the Colgate's and grape are also very good. The above remarks do not apply by any means. to the plantations in Kent generally, as a get at portion of them will exhibit a great falling off in the quantity anticipated six weeks ago, many of the grounds being still only in burr. MAYFIELD, AUG. 29.—The hops have improved this week, and Should the present fine weather continue there is a chance of a fair crop. The grape are in a very backward state, but the Jones's are in a more forward condition, are remarkably full of fruit, and present a most luxuriant appearance. It is remarked by some of the planters, that they never witnessed a season when they were so full of hops before. RYE, AUG. 30.—The bleak easterly winds of the last three or four days have proved a considerable check to the development of the hops, which the few previous days of warm weather had so much accelerated, and it is now feared that they will not have time to grow out, as the period is fast approaching when they should be ready for the oast. A pocket of hops was picked in the gar dens•of Mr. Winton, of Beckley, on Wednesday last, and despatched to London on Wednesday, fur which 81. ss. per cwt. was obtained ; the pocket weighed 1 cwt. 2 qrs. 161bs. TICEHURST, AUGUST 31.—The last few days have, it is evident, been greatly in favour of the hops ; but the cold nights and mornings very much retard their growth. The Jones's are looking very well, but the grape are, in many places, scarcely in burr. I think, after all,-we shall have a pretty fair crop, but, it is clear, not so large a one as was at first anticipated. . MAIDSTONE.—The last few days' fine weather has done wonders for our hops,—the burr is now fast turn ing into hop, but they cannot be large or weigh well, having so little time to grow. We learn that the mould where it has appeared has decreased on the leaves, and there is less than might have been expected on the hops. They are still a fortnight later than usual ; but, as a correspondent remarks, the old fashioned hoppings were generally a late cold job, though the great improvements that have recently been made in the oasthouses have very much• expedited the matter. The duty a few days ago went down to 170,000! ; it has now risen to 180,0001. again. BOXLEY, AYLFSFORD, AND BURIIAM.—The hops have not made that improvement which might have been ex pected from the fine weather of last week. If they were capable of doieg anything the hot sun would have insde them do it, but they still hangin burr, or, where hops have come out, they look anything but kindly. The pre sent appearances are all against the crop. YALDING.—We don't expect above half a crop here, not,sithstanding the late fair weather. They hang in burr, anti !ook anything but kindly. THE SUTTONS.—The hops are not going on at all well. On the hilly districts they do not grow out, and it is nut probable that we shall get anything like an average crop. MEZEWORTH, WATERINGBURY.—Our hops exhibit some slight improvement, but are still very backward. STApLEHURST.—The hopping, though late, will still be productive. The following statement of the date of the commencement of hopping in this parish during the last twelve years may be interesting to some readers :- 1835, August 31 ; 1836, Sept. 5 ; 1837, Sept. 4 ; 1838, August 29 ; 1839, Sept. 9 ; 1840, Sept. 7 ; 1811, Sept. 6 ; 1842, August 29 ; 1843, Sept. 4 ; 1844, Sept. 2. CRANBROOK.—The late fine sunny days have made a litt'e better appearance in mOs't of our hop grounds. SEVENOAKS.—We aro sorry to notice this week that the hops make very little way, they hang so long in burr ; in fact, we have noticed several gar dens where this burr has from the continued cold and wet dropped off, and that to a great extent ; still there are individual pieces in the neighbourhood, particularly on the lighter soil, getting nicely out in hop, and with warm nights and sunny weather, the crop would probably be an average one. The duty in this neighbourhood is called 160,0001. EDENBRIDGE. — We can find a considerable improve.• ment in our grounds ; since we have been favoured with such fine weather for the last three days, the burr is coming out generally very nicely. CANTERBURY.—With the exception of Tuesday, the weather of this week has been partially favourable fur the hops —not, it is true, so warm as could have been desired, but still sufficient to help the development of the burr. A few fine specimens were exhibited in our mar ket on Saturday se'nnight. We fear that the heavy ruins and hurricane of Tuesday will be found to have blown the poles about considerably. The duty is quoted at 175,0001. WORCESTER, AUG. 27.—The hops are gone from bad to worse, and the crop is now likely to be very deficient ; the vermin having in many places increased to an alarming extent, and completely destroyed the hopes of the planters. The duty is now currently estimated at 12,0001. ; and the market continues brisk at an advance of 10s. per cwt., fine samples being readily sold at 6/. to 6/, IN.—Sussex Advertiser. THE NEW MERCHANT SEAMEN'S ACT. A letter received at Lloyd's, from their agent at the Cape of Good Hope, mentions that masters of vessel had been fined several hundred pounds at Cape Town, for an informality in the ship's articles under the New Merchant Seamen's Act. By clause 53, it is required that the Christian names of each party signing be written in full. In case; where they had been abbreviated, in formation of such informality has been given to the collector of customs at that place, and fines imposed in every instance. Captain Hight, of the City of Poonah, ha 4 been condemned in penalties amounting to 801., who, in a letter addressed to Lloyd's agent, there com plains of the harsh construction put on the Act in his and other cases, mentions the fact that in many cases the men are incapable of writing any more than the abbreviation, and inquires whether a man's signature, different from his ordinary mode, would be recognised to a bill of exchange, power of attorney, or any other authority or agreement? And if the necessity of the ex ample be recognised, why should penalties be laid in each individul case in the articles ? As one moiety of the fines, however, is awarded to the informer, the reason is sufficiently clear. Under these circumstances, the shipping interest, and particularly ship masters, will do well to exercise ex treme caution, and observe the rules of the Act in the strictest sense. • THE TASMANIA CONVICT SHIP. SOLEMN SCENE. As it was expected that the above vessel would sail on Saturday from Kingstown Harbour, a number of persons proceeded to the pier to witness the impressive and melancholy sik,ht. The day was beautiful, the sky was serene, the sea unruffled and smooth as a mirror— all nature was hushed in hallowed repose, and every thing indicated peacefulness and happiness ; but when the eye turned to the gloomy form of the convict ship as it lay upon those calm blue waters, a floating dungeon, the prison-home of the felon exile, a sadness came over the mind from the reflection that, however bright, and lovely, and joyous all things around it seemed to be, within its dark and tomb-like bosom were enclosed many suffering spirits, whose crimes had expatriated them from their native land, and to whom the beauties of " the firmament above and the earth beneath" were but as " a foul and pestilent con gregation of vapours." At three o'clock, through the kindness of the commander, Wm. Black, Esq., and Sur geon Jason Lardner, a few visitors were allowed on board. The convicts, altogether consisting of females, amounting in number to 137 women and 37 children, were at this time arranged at the mess table, and bad just eaten a plain substantial dinrer. The visitors de scended one or two ladders which led to the prison, as the place in which the convicts eat their meals and sleep is called, and entered, by stooping, through a great door way, very much resembling that of an ordinary cell. This prison is situated under decks, and the mess-tables, which are constructed at each. side, extend about two thirds the ship's length. Each table is sufficiently large to accommodate eight persons with ease, and at night can be converted into a bedstead, or receptacle for a mattress ; it is railed or boarded in like a sheep-pen, and separated from similar tables which at either side adjoin it. To reach these tables or leave them it is, therefore, necessary to climb over the wooden railings. At the time to which we allude all the con victs were penned in—some were occupied sewing, some winding thread or cotton into balls ; some reading pray ers from small time and thumb-worn books—some endeavouring " to make out" the last letter from home, while ethers were lulling their sick-looking infants to slumber, or sitting silently and motionless in a state of mo. bid, moping melancholy. The hour for recreation upon deck having arrived, the convicts prepared to proceed there, and a few had done so when the shrieks of a woman were heard " above," together with the rapid steps of a female, who was apparently running abut the deck, chasing and beating every person whom she met. Then resounded from all quarters exclamations such as " The mad woman has broken loose"—" She is coining down stairs"—" Shut the door." Some of the women ran and hid under the tables or in the little hos pital which adjoins the prison ; and others, more cou rageous, hastened upon deck to see what it was that was disturbing the vessel. It was soon ascertained that a woman named Mary Kelly, who was mad, or feigned madness, was pursuing all who were within her reach. She had, it appeared, exhibited symptoms of violent insa nity, or assumed them, from the time that she was brought on Huard, in consequence of which it was considered necessary by those who had the care of her to take means to prevent the possibi lity of her injuring any one. Her hands were accordingly fastened behind her back, her feet were tied together by leathern rings, and she was kept down in a recumbent position by a fellow-prisoner who was selected to guard her. The surgeon was unwilling to take her on board as he was afraid she would disturb the peace and order of the vessel, and he objected to leaving the harbour and sailing until he heard further upon the subject from the Executive. A communication was therefore made to the Castle, and an intimation received therefrom, that on Monday a medical investigation to test the state of the convict's mind would take place. On the receipt of this reply the surgeon gave directions t 3 liberate the prisoner. Her fetters . were then re moved, and when she found herself free, she, as has been already stated, rushed furiously upon all whom she mot, tearing the clothes, caps, and hair of the women, striking the commander, surgeon, and sailors, and creating the consternation and dismay which has le en but faintly described. The Reverend Ber nard Kirby, chaplain of the Grangrgorman depot for female covicts, who paid a visit to the vessel to give his parting and prayerful admonitions to the unfortunate prisoners to conduct themselves peaceably during the voyage, and virtuously for the remainder of their lives, was in the cabin of the com mander at this period, and went forward to restrain the infuriated woman. He spoke to her, reasoned with her, and succeeded in bringing her mind to a condition of temporary composure. lie then collected the Roman Catholics (upwards of 100 in number) into groups at each side of the vessel, and prevailed upon Mary Kelly to kneel near him. The scene at this period was very imposing. Here were a number of human beings, vary ing from ten years old to seventy—the black glossy cuels of girlhood, contrasting with the hoary locks of wintry age; the bright beaming eye and rosy cheek of dawning womanhood, with the sunken tearful eye and withered cheek of " three score years and ten"—all kneeling to supplicate mercy from an offended God for crimes different in complexion and kind, ascending in the scale of eriminalty from the felony of a riband to the murder of a husband or a child ; and in duration of punishment from seven to ten years, to perpetual tran sportation. Side by side knelt the miserable creature who poisoned her husband in Kilkenny, and she who drowned her infant in Wicklow when driven from the door of her seducer ; and near them sported, in happy innocence, unconscious of their degradation, unobservant of the misery around them, happy and playful as if they were gathering flowers in the field, two little girls the children of the convict mothers. The Rev. Mr. Kirby having gone through a portion of the evening service, usual • upon such an ocea sion, Mary Kelly, being under' the impression that an old woman behind her, who was saying her prayers in a very loud tone, had approached too near her, turned round, and with a heavy blow laid the poor penitent prostrate upon the deck. A panic spread through the crowd, several rose from their kneeling po sitions, and ran towards the forepart of the vessel ; in their fliget two women fell over a wet coil of ropes, which in no small degree disturbed the solemnity of the scene ; but the service, notwithstanding this ludicrous episode, was continued to the close. The influence which religion had over the mind of Mary Kelly was but tran sient, for she broke out again in a manner equally violent as before, and it became a second time necessary to hand cuff her. The authorities of the vessel stated that they never had a better conducted class of convicts entrusted to their care, or persons more disposed to submit to dis cipline and observe the regulations which they had made. The vessel will, it is thought, sail on Monday, evening for Van Diemen's Land, where it will in ail prebability arrive about the month of January next. A plentiful supply of provisions has been laid in, comprising pigs, sheep, and all descriptions of fowl ; and this fine vessel, one of the largest, most cleanly, and most expeditious in the service of the Government,iu tended for the transmission of convicts, has been fitted up in every way that could ensure the comfort of those whom it is destined to convey to exile. The convicts will be usefully employed during the voyage in making shirts, stockings, and other articles of clothing. They retire to rest &arise, eat their meals and amuse them selves upon deck at nertain hours, the rules in these respects being very rigid. The children who accompany their mothers are left with the m till they are two years old, they are then taken from them and educated at the exppnse of the Government. The Rev. B. Kirby re turned to f`Otivemount" at is o'clock. The Rev. Gentleman ran some risk in visiting the vessel, for he had only a day or two recovered from a dangerous raver, in which his life was despaired of by his phy sicians, and which originated in exposure to cold and over-portion in his untiring labour to support the interests of the beeevelent institution which he has funded. The assiduity and the enesiety evinced by Mrs. Itimlins, the matron of the Gi•angegorman l'rison, in preparing each convict for the voyage, and seeing that everything was provided for her which necessity required, is beyond all praise, A. number of attendants have been appointed from among the eonvicts themselves, She most aptive and nt being selected tn wait upon the rest during their meals ; and to prevent oonfunon, all the 'articles belonging to each convict have been numbered, the num ber which they bear corresponding with that affixed to a plate worn by her. In conclusion, it may be said that a scene such as is here feebly depicted reads a whole sew eisa eltenn moral lesson ; it was one which deeply interested a I the visitors, who were indebted to the courtesy of the commander and surgeon for an opportu nity of witnessing it- -Saunders.

Yesterday, Richard Lacey, a young man, the son of a re tired tradesman, was brought before Mr. Alderman Cope land, on suspicion of stealing a drawer containing notes and so- 1 vereigns to the amount of 301., from the bar of the Plough public-house, in Fore-street, Cripplegate. Mr. Middleton, the landlord, stated that a drawer contain ing the above amount was stolen from his bar between eight and nine o'clock the previous nigkt. The prisoner and three other persons were talking with him at the bar, and the pri soner was particular in taking hold of his arm to secure his attention to what he was saying. He missed the drawer about five minutes after they left. They came in a chaise, which remained at the door till they all went away together. Mr. Lewis, who astendeci for the prisoner, cross-examined the witness, who said he drank with them. They were there a quarter of an hour. The prisoner was not near the place where the drawer was. The prisoner did not enter the bar, nor did witness leave it. He saw the money safe about five minutes before the men came in. The subject of the prisoner's conversation was that the Plough was not so good a house as the Globe in the same street, which his father used to keep. Witness did not remember that there were two men and a boy there, who seemed to be unconnected with the prisoner. One of the four men went into the kitchen, and treated the waitress with a glass of gin. Mr. Alderman COPELAND inquired whether the prisoner had been asked who his friends were ?—Mr. Lewis said he would answer that question. The prisoner had but one friend with him, and he had immediately given his address. Mr. Alderman COPELAND asked if the four men were evi dently of the same party ?.—The witness replied, they all came in together, and the prisoner and another man conversed with witness while the other two kept walking backwards and for wards towards the kitchen. He was sure three of the men went away together in the chaise. He could not say whether the prisoner did. Robert Coutts, the waiter, said the party came in a four wheel chaise, and while some were talking with his master the others walked backwards and forwards in the house. He saw one of them looking into the bar, and he afterwards saw one of them go out with something under his coat, and the others went away directly. He should know the men again. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—Could not say whether his master was drunk or sober. His master's back was towards the man who looked in. The prisoner was in the bar at the time the man went out with something under his coat. Knew that main by sight. Had not invited him to call that evening, nor did he hold the horse's head. Told the waitress he thought a man had stolen something, and asked her to go and see if she could miss anything out of the bar. By Mr. Alderman COPFLAND—The prisoner went away in the chaise. Mr. Alderman COPELAND said he was very remiss in not giving an alarm. He should have seized the man by the collar. The witness said he could hardly believe his eyes, that one of the gentlemen had got something under his coat. Mr. Lew is said his client was apprehended that morning, in consequence of having stated that he was the sou of a late neighbour, and the fact of his having mentioned that, showed that he had not entered the house to steal the till. He would call a witness to show that he was the son of a wealthy respect able man. Mr. Alderman Corxnanti said that was not necessary. He remembered the father, but he wanted evidence as to the cha racter of the son. He remanded the prisoner till Friday with leave to tnd bail. QUEEN-SQUARE. William Exlade, a labouring man, was charged with stabbing his wife. observed t Complainant hat wish as it washed t o o f w a i s t h e r d i r o a u wthe s natu r e,chg ar h e e , su b u u t s Mr. Bond t b e put in possession of the facts. Mary Ann Exlade, the wife, who gave her evidence with great reluctance, said that she had lived very happily with de fendant, to whom she had been married upwards of ten years, until about four months ago, since which he had, when intoxi cated, repeatedly abused her. Between eleven and twelve, on the previous night, they had some words, when defendant seized a table knife, which had been used at supper, and stabbed her above the left breast. She put up her arm to ward off the blow, and that was also cut. Defendant put some strapping on the wound and went to bed; and she sat by the fire until, in consequence of the loss of blood, she fainted. Her wound was subsequently dressed at the hospital, and defendant g iven into custody. Her husband had no control over himself whn drunk, and was very much intoxicated at the time he stabbed her. She had al l° been drinking very freely, and was very aggra vating to hint. Her friends were very poor, and as her two children were dependant upon her husband for support, she hoped the magistrate would discharge him. Defendant expressed his sorrow, and said he did not know what he was about. Mr. IloNn directed that the police should take the woman to the hospital, in older to ascertain the condition of the wound, and on their return with a certificate, Mr. BOND. after pointing out to the defendant the conse quences that might have resulted from his violence, considered that a+ his wife was fortunately not in the slightest danger, and as Isis family were entirely dependent upon him, the jus tice of the case would be met by calling upon defendant to find bail for.the next 12 months.—The defendant was lacked up. • MARYLEBON E. Eli Mallett, a police constable of the S division, 134, was brought before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. Rawlinson, by order of the Commissioners, on the charge of having used un necessary violence towards a lad named Joseph Chandler, by striking him on the head, and other parts of his person, with a truncheon. Mr. Wm. King, No. 23, Seymour-place, Camden-town, deposed that on Sunday afternoon last, about two o'clock, as he was standing by his own door, he saw a youth running along, followed clo , elv by the defendant, who upon coming up with him, knocked him down and fell over him. Defendant then got up, and with his truncheon struck the boy with considerable violence on the head and legs. Witness remonstrated with him (defendant) with regard to the brutality of his behaviour; and his number was taken by some other persons who were upon the spot at the time. Witness added that he saw no cause whatever given fiir the blows which were inflicted, neither did he know at the period in question why the lad was running away. Mr. Charles Caston, egg merchant, of Buck-street, Camden town, stated that he saw a lad, who was in charge, escape from the custody of defendant. The latter might, on over taking the lad, have laid hold of him, and conveyed him along without any trouble, had he thought fit to have done so. Wit ness corroborated Mr. King's evidence as to the striking of him (the youth) with the truncheon while he lay upon the ground. Mr. 3lorgan James, grocer, of Park-terrace, said that he also witnessed the blows, and that owing to the one which was inflicted upon the head, the lad was, stunned, and remained in a state of insensibility for nearly ten minutes.

Caroli ne Mason, a n artful .looki n g g irl, about sixte en years of age, was p l ace d at the bar for final examinatiun, before Mr. Bingham, charged with having stolen numerous articles of wearing apparel and other property, from various children of tender years. It appeared that, in consequence of complaints having, for a considerable time past, been received at the Spitalfields station hinise front the parents of children who had been decoyed into obscure places, and stripped of their elothing by a young woman, whose person they accurately described, several officers re ceived special direction to endeavour to trace nut the offender; and eventually lead away and on Friday morning last, Police-constable Zinzan, 67 H, while o.st o se n v d er u a t l y unooparrutSehooterdediethcihmChreou,rch, ebtatved the prisoner went to a pawnbroker's shop, on quitting which she sud denly be l e e l f s t s t e h n e t c b h y ild h , er an in d o w th a e l r ke t d o hastily off. The officer imme. saner, who announced herself e V : edge that on leaving the pawnbroker's she was stopped by the pri wintry, and by that representation not only induced her to deliver up the amount of the pledge, but sent her back to obtain another shilling upon it, which,together with the dupli cate, she also took possession of. On hearing this statement, w o h n o e m of h h e er el a i the officer instantly pursued the prisoner, whom he overtook at a short distance, and having found both the money and du plicate in her possession, took her into custody. Other cases of a similar description were the gone into, and the prisone , who declined offering any defencen, was committed for trial upon all the charges. Clotrks Rawlings was charged with having stolen several articles of pla'e, the property of M. Arlene Cellier, a French gentleman, residing in Mare.street, Hackney. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor, that he had employed the prisoner to attend at his house for some hours of a morning to assist the other servants, and soon after his de parture on Monday last, it was discovered that two silver spoons had disappeared from the rantry, to which he had access; but, in the absence of any direct evidence against him, no notice was then taken of the circumstance. On the following morning, howew, another spoon, Itc4 i l , plated fish-fork haYPg byes 41so misses, the .prisoner was taxed with the robbery, which he at once acknowledged having com.• 'Pitted, and made the following statement in extenua tion of his conduct 1— Having gone to Petticoat-lane to purchase a c h e ap pair of shoes, he was accosted, while looking about him by a Jew, who engaged him the in conversation, of his and after ingeniously ext ract i ng from hire particulars situation, urged hi m to purloin as much o f his master's plate as he could lay his hands upon, and prom ised that on bringing it to him at the corn er of a court, w here he took his stand every day to negotiate such transactions, h e would give him a liberal price for it.

Air. BINGIIAM said he thought it advisable, under the cir cumstances, to allow the officer more time for investigating the facts of the case, and he should remand the prisoner for that purpose. LAMBETH. Mr. Metcalf, a chemist and druggist, residing in the Wal worth-road, appeared before Mr. Norton, to answer to a sum mons calling upon him to show cause why he detained a valua ble gold watch, the property of Mr. Buckman, who is at present labouring under insanity. Mr. Games, who attended on behalf of Mr. Sawbone, the cousin of the lunatic, apprised the magistrate of the facts of the case, and from his statement it appeared that on Saturday week Mr. Buckman, who was in business as an oilman, left his house at an early hour, drove about in a cab to various whole sale houses in his line of business, gave orders for large quan tities of goods, snore than he could sell for seven years, and on his way home had entered the shop of Mr. Metcalf, where he made some purchases, And also, it appeared, agreed to give Mr. Metcalf 151. for a receipt for the manufacture of some article or other, and as a guarantee for payment had deposited his gold watch with the vendor. On returning home the same day Mr. Buckman was found to be in such a state that his friends deemed it necessary to place him under restraint, and he was still unfortunately under the charge of a keeper. The defendant proceeded to say that Mr. Buckman came to his house and purchased some custard powder and other art.:cles to the amount of about 2/. ; he also agreed to pay him 151. for a receipt, and was about to write a cheque for the money, but he (Mr. Metcalf) told him that, as he was a stranger to him, he would prefer the money, or some security, upon which he (Mr. Buckman) left his watch. Mr. Nowrori—What was the nature of the receipt you sold lo Mr. Buckman ? Mr. Metcalf—A receipt for making cus tardpowder. . . M. Games—Did Mr. Buckman remain for some time at your house? Mr. Metcalf—He did. Mr. Games—And you had a good deal of conversation with him ? Mr. Metcalf—Yes, a good deal. Mr. Games—Then I now ask you, whether from that con versation you had not discovered that this unfortunate young man was not in his right senses? Mr. Metcalf—No, I did not. He appeared to me to be perfectly rational. Mr. Games—Well, Sir, I now ask you whether any indi vidual in his senses would have given you one shilling for this custard-powder receipt you speak of? Mr. Metcalf—l do say there are, and that the receipt was worth the money. It was his own proposition, and he offered me 301., provided I con sented to discontinue its manufacture ; and also agreed to take the stock of the article I had on hand at a valuation. I have sold from 4001. to 5001. worth of the article in the last twelve months, and, therefore, the receipt was worth the sum agreed upon. Mr. Games informed the magistrate that the unfortunate young man, whose bereavement had led to the present pro ceedings, was outside, in custody of his keeper, and was about to be placed in Bethlehem ; and the only object Mr. Sawbone, his cousin, had in view in taking the present course was, that his property might be secured. It was finally agreed that the complainant should pay for the articles purchased from the defendant, except the receipt, and also give him an indemnity fur the watch; and Mr. Metcalf upon these terms delivered it up. he offered him a lower price than the rates fixed by Act of Parliament. He refused to take charge of the ship unless paid according to the regular scale, and told the defendant it was contrary to law to do so. The defendant said he would get a cheap pilot, and he then left him. On the following day be again went on board, and found the ship gettirg under weigh, with an easterly wind, and an unlicensed pilot on board. He took charge of the ship with the defendant's permission, and he said the draught of water was only nine feet, and he shaped his course accordingly. On arriving in the lower part of Gal leons, near Woolwich, he met with a shoal, and was taking the ship over it, when she began to smell the ground, and tailed on the edge of the shoal, where she stuck fast. Ho then told the defendant that he had made a great mistake in the ship's draught of water, and that instead of nine feet she drew eleven feet ; and, to satisfy himself, he sounded round the vessel, and found that her draught of water was 11 feet. The ship re mained on the shoal until next flood tide, when she floated off, and he piloted her without any further misadventure down to the Sunk-light, where the defendant paid him 71. for his pilot age, and gave a boatman 155., as he was bound to do, to put him ashore. He had only received pilotage for a ship drawing nine feet of water. The ship drew within an inch or two of 11 feet, but he had only charged for 10i feet, and was legally en titled to 275. more. Air. BRODERIP—How much does the chip actually draw? The pilot—l found, according to the Norwegian measure ment, which is a little more than the English, 101 feet. It was close upon 11 English feet. The defendant made some vague observations in reply to the charges. He admitted the ship drew 10 feet, or 10 feet 2 inches, or a little more, and said, if the pilot knew the differ ence between the Norwegian and the English measurement, he ought to have ascertained the draught of water before he took charge of the ship. The pilot said he was quite unprepared for what took place. He relied on what the captain said, that his vessel drew nine feet only. When the vessel took the ground the accident was attended with danger to the ship and cargo, and if anything serious had happened he might hare lost his license and his reputation at the same time. Mr. BRODERIP said he had never met with such a case before during his long experience as a magistrate. The pilot alleged that a deception was practised upon him to save a few shillings in the amount of pilotage. and it did appear he was not prepared for the ship " smelling the ground," and would have avoided the shoal if he had been aware the ship drew eleven feet water. The evidence of the pilot was not rebutted, and he was of opinion he was entitled to the additional sum of 275., and ought to have been paid for a ship of 104 feet draught of water instead of nine feet. WRECK OF THE FELICIDADE SCHOONER. It will be in the recollection of our readers that the slave schooner Felicidade, of infamous celebrity, after being the scene of the treacherous murder of the Bri tish officers and crew who had charge of her as a prize, was recaptured by her Majesty's ship Star, and after being manned by a small party of sailors, under command of Lieutenant Wilson, was dispatched to Sierra Leone for adjudication. She was suddenly upset in a squall while on her voyage, and a brief summary of the extraordinary escape of the crew has already appeared in our columns, but we have had sent to us the fol lowing more detailed account of the shipwreck :—On the 6th of March, in lat. 1 deg. 18 min. N., and long. 3 deg. 30 min. N., at noon, Cape Three Points, the nearest land bearing N.N.E , distant about 230 miles, about three P.sr., when under sail, steering W.N.W., with a breeze from the south, a squall was observed coming up astern. Sail was immediately shortened, but the man at the helm, instead of keeping her in the course she was steering, as he was ordered by Lieutenant Wilson to do, put the helm aport, and then brought her by the lee ; the squall took her at the sane moment, and she turned over in a minute on her beam ends and filled. The squall passed over in half an hour. No lives had been lost. The whole number were huddled together on the gunwale. Having no boat, and fearing that she might not float along, the only expedient that occurred to them for saying their lives was the construction of a raft, which was immediately set about. Three of the seamen had knives, with which they began at once to cut all the spars, canvas, and cordage that could be got at ; the main-boom was not obtained without great dif ficulty, and then only by the Kroomen diving and cutting the gear under water. Before dark they had succeeded in lashing the main-yard, fore and maintopsail, top-gal lantsail yards, studsail booms and gaffs, for a raft ; it was then shifted to leeward of the vessel, and all hands, ten in number, got upon it, apprehensive that the vessel might sink during the night. In the morning, finding the raft was hardly able to carry them all, the foreyard was added as an outside spar, the main-boom being on the other side, and the smaller spars amidships. The only provision they could procure was a little putrid pork, no water, and about a gallon and a half of rum, which had been lashed on deck. Nothing else could be procured, for the Kroomen, though expert divers, were prevented by the slave-deck from getting into the vessel. Having nothing but their light clothing, some canvas was taken from the sails to serve as protection from the weather, and all the small rope that could be procured was also placed upon the raft, for the purpose of re placing the lashings should they be long upon it. As much of the planking of the bulwarks as could be torn off was preserved for paddles to steer with, and for seats. About four A.M. of the 19th, finding the schooner had settled down considerably, and that nothing . more was to be got from her, a mast and sail was rigged, and they cast off from the wreck in good spirits, in the hope of reaching land. Having no compass, the sun by day and the stars by night were their guide. For four days there was no appearances of rain, and all suffered much from thirst ; and so few clothes had been saved, that in the day they were scorched by the sun, and at night the cold was intense. From the weight upon the raft, and from the circumstance of all the spars having their fit tings upon them, it swam very deep, which kept them constantly immersed in water, and if they lay down, the sea washed over their heads; in fact, the fore part of the raft was from two to three feet under water. On the fifth day they caught a little rain water, which served to revive every one, and on the seventh day they obtained another, though more scanty supply. On the ninth day two of the Kroomen were delirious from drinking salt water, and in the evening the Quar ter-master, also, became delirious from the same cause, notwithstanding their having been earnestly cautioned aeainst it, and the inevitable consequences pointed out. The sharks, which had followed them from the third day, began now to swim round the raft, and an attempt was successfully made to catch one ; a bait was held out, and when the shark was in the act of turning to it, one of the Kroomen seized him by the tail, a rope was imme diately made fast, and the men cut him across the back with their knives, which rendered him comparatively powerless, and by their united efforts it was dragged upon the raft. It measured between seven and eight feet in length. The blood and flesh revived them ; and that day, the tenth from leaving the wreck, it rained heavily, which enabled them to assauge their thirst and to fill the empty rum cask half full of water. Nothing, how ever, could restore the three Kroomen and the Quarter master, who were previously delirious. The next morn ing one of the Kroomen was found dead on the raft, the other two died during the day, and the Quartermaster in the evening, giving the survivors a fearful warning of the effects of drinking salt water. The greatest care was taken of the water, a mouthful being served out three times a day in the heel of a shoe. They caught at intervals three more sharks, in the same manner as before, and some flying fish ; the latter, however, they could scarcely swallow, so parched were their throats. They found the sharks much more nourishing and easy to eat. It rained once or twice afterwards, but the sea ran over their heads in such a manner that they found it impossible to catch water. Their utmost effort was now required to keep the raft together ; it often got adrift, and little rope was left to secure it. Their limbs were so swollen and ulcerated, and so little strength was left them, that they could scarcely move. The masthead had fallen down, and they were unable to raise it, so that all hope of reaching the land began to fail them. Nevertheless, the English sea men were resigned and obedient. On the 3d of April one of the Brazilians died. In the evening of the 4th of April, after having been nine- teen days upon the raft, they saw the laud. The next morning it was out of sight again. Soon after daylight they saw a sail to leeward ; she appeared to approach the raft, and the hope of being saved gave them strength to stand up and make signals, but in vain, for she shortly bore up and left them. They were then so weak that had the raft reached the land, they were well aware that they must have perished in the surf. Another vessel now appeared in sight, and communicated with the one they had first seen. She then stood towards them, and their hopes once more revived ; a boat was sent out, and they found they had been saved by her Majesty's brig Coquet, being then about thirty miles to leeward of St. Paul's. Four hours after they had been picked up the other Brazilian died, he also had drank salt water. The conduct of the men was most exemplary through out, and, under the Providence of God, was mainly instru mental in preserving their lives.

As a party of gentlemen from Glasgow were out fish. ing for eels on Saturday, opposite Helensburgh, one of them hooked a fish of unusual magnitude, which gave him a good deal of trouble to bring to the surface of the water. This being at length achieved, he was startled by observing an unusual appearance about the heal of the fish —a fine large eel, at least seven f-et in length, and of proportionate thickness, and called out to his companions to come to his assistance. By their joint exertions, it was hauled alongside of the boat, in a state of great exhaustion ; and it was discovered, strange as it may appear, that it actually had a white hat on ! Its head had gone by some means or other clear through the crown of the hat, which had stuck firmly upon its dorsal fin. Much wonder and amusement was• of course excited by the circumstance, and the hat upon being examined was found marked with the initials O.K. of Glasgow. Inside of it were found several small crabs, which had taken advantage of the shelter it afforded to fasten themselves upon the neck of the eel, and had doubtless been the principal cause of the exhaustion of the animal. The hat was carefully taken off, and the eel, as if relieved from a great in cumbrance, appeared to have suddenly revived, and in sinuated its body through the sleeve of a shcoting coat which one of the party bad left carelessly hanging over the gunwhale of the boat. In another instant, and before an effort could be made to arrest its pro gress, it darted overboard, coat and all, to the no small amazement of most of the party, and to the con sternation of the luckless wight, who was so uncere moniously deprived of his garment, In the pocket of the coat was a small whisky flask, a yellow silk handl;fychief, some railway scrip, and a, promissory note, due on iticnday (this day), besides several letters, f a tender nature. The i o me of which were o gegegman, whose name, for ovions reasons, we sup nress, lit first inclined to jump into the water after this `xtr rttir"iri depredator, but was withheld by his ,tO companions, who forthwith rowed ashore. A reward was immediately offer'M for the apprehension of the eel with the coat on, and we Ciderstand that the boatmen of Helensburgh made several unsuccessful attempts'during the day to fall in with it, and that they will recom mence operations at an early hour this morning. In the meantime, the hat of C. K. remains in proper cus tody—little the worse for its immersion ; ang We have no doubt it will be delivered over to him upon P4tisfap7 tory explanation of his proprietorship.—Glasgow Argun. FowE'r.—The pilchard fishery here is looking gloomy, the teens at present having taken nothing—the weather is now unfavourable.—Plymouth Journal, DISPUXED TITLE TO A LEGACY.—A sharp-looking young lad, apparently not more than twelve years old, was placed at the bar of the Borough Manchester Court, on Thursday, on suspicion of having stolen a pocket handker chief from Mrs. Taylor, Great Ancoats-street. The charge having been stated, the boy, appearing to be deeply affected, said—Sir, it is my father's viper ; he died a short time ago, and that was all he left me as a legacy. Mr. Maude--Is there any mark by which you know 10 Boy—Oh, surely, Sir ; there's a little bit off the right-hand corner, and a small hole in the middle that a fly might creep through.— (Laughter.) Mr. Maude —Why, contrasting the colour of the handkerchief with that of your face, hands, and clothes, one would say, 11 priori, that it did not belong to you; if it did, we should not find it in such a s tate. Boy—Ob, Sir, I never uses that, Sir; I know better. I always keeps it lapped pp, near, clean, and sacred, because of my father, Sir. Mr. Mande-,4107 often have you been here ? Boy (meditating)—Why, I can recollect four times. Mr. Maude—You are a sharp boy, and it is a pity you cannot conduct yourself properly. It appears you cannot behave yourself out of a prison. so you must go back for three rnonths.—Manchester Guardian. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS —The new line of road from the London Docks to Spitalfields Church is now nearly compleed. The kerbs are laid down along its whole length, and carriage and foot traffic are carried on nearly the whole of it. The road, it is intended, shall be continued t , h S . h ore te d r m i n e h u w oef h , e e tn r h e te m i t Ea d w aes i ltfleorernotmh Countiesee foourmt g a h iL str a eet t t h h e rou so g u h th w ern iiion Railway, but no preparations an g tion of this part of it. The estirna ed cost of the construction of the portion reaching from Spitalfields Church to Ektresl . tch is 40,209/. It is projected that the line shall be further l e x r tended from the railw a y station, across Holywell-lane, Curtain: road, Paul-st.-eet, and Tabernacle-walk, into the City-road, at the point where it is intersected by Old-street. This pl an , which would give a direct communication between the eastern and western parts of the metropolis, would also serve as a junc tion to the two railways running to either side of the City, and it is expected would ease that part of the burden of a great deal of traffic towards the waterside. The amount required for the completion of the project is :112,000/. The plan of im provements in this quarter also includes a street from the Com ' mercial-road to the end of Red Lion-street, in Whitechapel. WOOLIVICIL Anne Warrener was charged with stealing twelve gowns, and eight shawls frem the shop of ➢lr. Delane, a pawnbroker, and a chair, the property of David Driver, under the following singular circumstances._ _ From the evidence of J. Harley and John Foley, two shop men of the prosecutor, it appeared that the prisoner had been in the habit of calling at the shop almost daily for the last month, under the pretext of inquiring about some articles of wearing apparel, which she stated were pledged there. The books were searched, but no such articles could be discovered. Though it would appear that she availed herself of every visit to plunder the owner of some article, no suspicion was aroused until the day previous, when she was seen leaving the shop with something under her arm. Information was then given to the police, and the prisoner was apprehended by Sergeant Hunt, R WI She then gave a false name and address, but the sergeant having discovered her lodgings, searched them, and found all the missing articles, which were identified by Mr. Delane's shopmen ; the chair was also identified by Mr. Driver. The prisoner, who had an infant at the breast and another scarcely three years old by her side, asserted that the articles formed part of her own property. Mr. JEREMY committed her for trial. HAMMERS Ml7'fl. Thomas Farringdon, potman at the Hoop public-house, Kensington Gravel-pits, was brought up before Mr. T. Payn ter, the sitting Magistrate, for final examination, on a charge o( having embezzled various sums of money, which he had re ceived for and on account of his employer. Susan Peek, the wife of Abraham Peck, deposed that she lived at No. 2, New-street, Kensington Gravel pits. Witness has her beer from Mrs. Janes, the Hoop public-house, and tke prisoner had been in the habit of delivering it. On Sunday, the 24th of August last, witness paid the prisoner Is. for beer supplied by Mrs. Janes during the previous week. Mary Horwood, wife of Mr. Henry Norwood, deposed that she lived at No. 5, Johnson-street, Notting-hill. On Sunday, the 24th of August last, the prisoner delivered a pot of beer at witness's house. and she paid him 4(1. for it. Joseph Jenkins deposed that he lived at No. 37, New-street, Kensington Gravel-pits. Witness was in the habit of having his beer from the Hoop public-house, which the prisoner used to deliver. On Monday, the 25th of August last, witness paid him 4s. for the beer prosecutrix had sent during the week. Policeman Allen, T 57, deposed that from information he received he apprehended the prisoner at about a quarter-past eight o'clock on Tuesday night, the 26th ult., at a beer-shop in Notting Dale. Witness told him what he was charged with, and he said Mrs. Janes could make nothing more of it than a debt. Witness only found threepence-halfpenny on him. The prisoner said he had got too winch to drink, and spent more money than he aught. He was fully committed to New- gate for Wit. After the night charges were gene through, Mr. Haskard, the relieving officer for the Hammersmith portion of the Fulham Union, brought an Irish woman named Mary Cotterell, and her grand-daughter, a girl about ten years of a4e, before the magistrate for the purpose of an order being made for their re moval to the.native place of the former, in the county of Cork. Mr. PAYNTER, on the necessary papers being handed to him by Mr. Haskard, inquired if they had been drawn out ac cording to the provisions of the new Act of Parliament ? Mr. Haskard, who appeared surprised at the question, said they were drawn out in the usual manner. He was not aware that any new Act of Parliament had been passed on the e orle w dc a e s iavn n e jdottahhteimtnhsee: that subject. Mr. PAYNTER said neither was he until a few days since, when B C , Court, awarerat h dwh i she9aatwtht would w e uv n lad t i sc in w sot theei, er al siacdw what difference e n t l 1 between7d. o it. i ffewr he law, but as a copy of the Act had bnicechee as then ll r w ece . ive T d h t e he worthy magistrate having e xami n ed the new s t atu t e, sa id i t was t h e royal assent on the Bth of August la't, and was now in force. The alterations were, that most of the previous Acts are repealed. and in future al l orders for the removal of Scotch and Irish paupers, or persons born on the islands of Man, Scilly, Jersey, or Guernsey, chargeable in England, are to be applied for by the guardians of the union in which the parish to which they are chargeable may be situate, and in those parishes only not in union have the parochial officers now any power to do so. Mr. Haskard said he was not aware that such an Act of Parliament was in existence. Mr. PAYNTER, on examining the order, asked the grand mother where the girl was born? The woman replied that she was born on the sea. Her father's name was Rankin. He was mate of the Caledonia, which was on its way to India. The father and mother were married while the vessel was lying in the Cove of Cork, and the former, who was an Englishman, died, but the mother, she believed, was still alive in India. Mr. PAYNTER said he had then no power to remove the girl to Ireland. Having been born on the seas, she was, therefore, an English child, and he could not take upon himself to send her to Ireland. Mr. Haskard said the name Rankin was an Irish name; and as they were married at the Cove of Cork, it was most probable that the father was an Irishman. Mr. PAYNTER considered it was not. It was quite English. The evidence was that it was English, and he had no power to send her to Ireland. If the child liked to go she might. Mr.o fi r . a d s e k r a f r o d r a t h sk e e r d e m w o h v a al of grandmother e t h g e m i r g i r a w n a d st o o t h do e was de. h e e r e n m would de. be no one in this country to protect it when the grandmother was removed. Mr. PAYNTER said he could not help that. He could not send the girl to Ireland. The girl said she would rather stay ;in this country.—The parties then left the Court. TH AME S. Mr. Wiliam Roper, a paper-stainer, of Bell-wharf-hill, Lower Shadwell, appeared before Mr. Broderip, to answer a charge preferred by Mr. William Crosby, of the firm of Kennett and Crosby, paper-hangers and decorators, of and 2, Queen-street, Southwark•bridge, with having unlawfully pirated a design in paper-hanging which had been registered by the complainant under the sth and 6th Victoria, cap. 100, called " An Act to consolidate and Amend the Laws relating to the Copyright of Designs." Mr. Pelham appeared for the defendant. Mr. Crosby produced a pattern of stained paper of the blue bell pattern with scroll arid leaves, and a certificate appended thereto, by which it appeared that the design had been properly registered, that it was numbered 24,047, and that the copy right had been secured to him for three years. He registered the design on the Ist of January last, and he had since ascer tained that it had been pirated, and paper of a similar pattern used by the defendant, who had stolen his invention. William Hearn, a journeyman in the employ of Kennett and Crosby, said he went to the defendant's house, on the 12th of last month, and purchased a roll of stained paper of the bell flower pattern. He used the name of Mr, Edward Pancy, of Tooley-street, and the defendant supplied him with the quan tity he asked for. The original design was produced, and compared with the paper sold by the defendant, and the imitation was palpable. Mr. BROMEHIP thought there could be no doubt of the piracy. Mr. Pelham said there was a variation in th• leaves and, flowers, and the scroll terminated in a larger leaf in the al leged pirated stained paper. The scroll and leaf in the original design were half formed in perspective. The defendant's paper had a curled stalk and no leaf. Mr. Crosby opened rolls of stained papers of various colours, but all from the same design, and laid them alongside the de fendant's paper. They appeared to be precisely similar. He pointed out to the magistrate that the register mark was upon the head of every piece of stained paper manufactured by Ken nett and Crosby. Mr. Pelham—lf you take the edges of the blocks you will find the dimensions vary a little. Mr. BitonEsur said the pirated paper was as nearly identical as possible with the original design, but the execution was in ferior. It was not a fac simile, but a fraudulent imitation. Mr. Pelham—We are charged in the summons with imitating the complainant's paper, but the evidence only goes to prove that we sold paper of a similar pattern. Mr. BRODERIP said the case was clearly made out under the statute, and it was such a flagrant one that he felt disposed to inflict the full penalty of 50/., which the defendant had in curred. The defendant had not only imitated the com plainant's paper, but carried on a trade in it. The designs were substantially the same. There was the difference always to be seen in a copy. Mr. Pelham, finding the magistrate determined to convict, appealed to Mr. Crosby for mercy for his client, and said he hoped he would be satisfied if the fin they sale of the printed paper was suppressed. Mr. Crosby said he had been at some expense in registering his designs, and in addition to the suppression of the sale, he should not be content unless the defendant gave up his blocks to be destroyed, and inserted a " public apology" in three or four of the leading newspapers. The defendant was glad enough to accept of these terms, and to pay the expense of inserting the apology in the newspapers as an advertisement. Mr. BRODERIP said he wculd suspend his judgment for one week, and if Mr. Crosby's terms were not complied with he should inflict a penalty of 3QI. The def: u n t d t a h n e t a s g a r id ee h n e le would la M ulimmediately give up the and r. We Anderson Kn.:v! appeartli answer the demand of a Trinity ;7" ~,re Mr. Brodaq to k.uward Taylor Dumlin, a licensed ....use pilot, who sued for a balance of 275., to which he was entitled for piloting the ship Scandinavian from the Surrey Canal Dock to the Downs. The defendant, a Norwegian, was attended by an interpreter. Mr. Dumlin said he brought forward this case on public grounds.
