(Continued fi one cur Afternoon Edition of yesterday ) Mr. John Marcus Clements, cross-examined by Mr. CHAMBERS-1 have not played at a garnbtinge home in London for a long time, not since 1845. I cannot s a y how many times I was in a ;ambling-hon=e in London before 1845. I could not play very because I had rot got much money. I remember meeting. the i.risetier in Regent- treet in the summer of 1849, and he asked me where I was stopping, and also requested me to settle his claim upon me, but I did not upon this occasion refuse to give him my address. He might have followed me home if he had pleased. I did not represent myself to be of age in 1846. I did give a treat to the men, but it was on the occasion of my getting my lieutenancy, and not because I represented that I had come of age. Mr. John Pullman depwecl that he was a t.arrister, and in the year 1847 he saw Mr. Clements at Dublin, but he had been introduced to him before. In 1847 he was requested by his guardians to arrange his affairs. He - had authority to pay any debts that were due, and he communicated this fact to the prisoner, and requested him to let him have his account with Mr. Clements, and he promised to send it. He after wards received from the prisoner the document now produced on the Ist July, 1847. The paper was put in, the material point it was represented to prove being that at this period the pri soner made no mention of this 1,0001. bill. Examination'continued—The prisoner called upon him in August, and asked if the account was satisfac tory, and witness told him it was not, as the consi deration for the bills was not set out. The prisoner then made a verbal statement, but witness requested him to give the account in writing, and he promised to do so on the following Tuesday. The prisoner did not come on that day, but sent a letter apologis ing for not keeping his appointment, and he did not see the prisoner again until the 27th of August, at his (witness's) chambers in the Temple. He then brought another statement of the accounts between him and the prosecutor, and in this also there was no mention made of the 1,000/. bill. The prisoner afterwards, at his request, gave him the particulars of the book account, and this also did not make any allusion to a 1,0001. bill. When the prisoner gave him this letter, before he said he had given the particulars of the whole of the transaction between him and the prosecutor, and witness never had any other state ment of accounts between them, and this bill for 1,000/. was never alluded to in any manner. Shortly before the summer assizes at Croydon last year was the first time that he ever heard of such a bill being in existence, and he immediately put himself in commu nication with Mr. Campbell, the solicitor, and he at tended at Croydon to be examined as a witness. In the course of his conversation with the prisoner he told him the guardians would pay every bona fide claim, and six per cent. interest. The prisoner of fered to give up a considerable amount of bills for half their value, but witness refused to listen to any compromise of that description, and said that every bill for which consideration should be proved to have been given should be paid in full. The witness was then shown the bill for 1,000/., and he said he did net think the acceptance was Mr. Clements's writing. By Mr. CHAMBERS—Had been called to the bar about five years. Before he studied for the bar he was engaged in the woollen manufacture. Witness attended the equity and common law courtsi n his wig and gown. He went to Dublin in 1846. He ma naged the affairs of any gentleman in the 13th Dra goons, except those of the prosecutor. Witness was engaged in watching a Chancery suit in the Irish courts on behalf of the friends of Mr. Denny, and it was understood that he was to have the fees of a bar rister fur so doing. He was not aware that Mr. Denny ever borrowed any money, or that he was in volved in any difficulties, and he was merely engaged to watch the Chancery suit. Witness communicated with other alleged creditors of Mr. Clements besides Mr. Joel. Toe prosecutor gave him the names of the creditors in the first instance verbally, and afterwards in writing. The prisoner did not keep a shop, but lodged over a shop kept by a fruiterer or greengrocer. The witness was then further cross-examined at considerable length with regard to the communications that took place between him and the prisoner, but nothing material appeared to be elicited. Ile first saw the prosecutor write on the Ist of May, 1847, and from his knowledge of the handwriting he enter tained a confident belief that the acceptance to the 1,0001. bill was not written by him. There was a general resemblance, but the signature differed in many respects according to his opinion. The signa ture was certainly like that of Mr. Cietnents. Several papers with signatures on them were then shown to the witness ; some of them, he said, he be lieved were not the handwriting of the prosecutor, others, he said, were like it, and upon some he declined to give any opinion. The last that was shown to him he said he thought was not the genuine writing of Mr. Clements, but was a copy of the forged bill. (This document, which was folded up in such a manner that nothing but the signature could be seen, urned out to be — the identical instrument which formed the subject of inquiry, and Mr. Clarkson com plained that it was not a fair proceeding towards the witness to show him the document in this form.) Re -examined—The action at Croydon was not tried, but was settled, and he gave notice to Mr. Camp bell, the solicitor, not to part with the bill, and at the same time undertook to prosecute Joel for forgery. In all the circumstances that took place between him and the prisoner he never heard of this 1,0001. bill until he had the notice from Mr. Campbell. The prisoner always represented that the accounts which he had given him contained the particulars of the whole of his claims upon the prosecutor. Mr. Clements, the prosecutor, was then re-called, and was further examined by Mr. CHAMBERS upon the subject of the accounts that had been produced by Mr. Pullman—He said that the prisoner's statement of the accounts between them was brought to him at Windsor, by Mr. Pullman, and that he was asked to make any remarks upon the different items which he might consider necessary. lie would not deny that he had actually received the different articles of jewellery that were mentioned, or that some portion of it was still in his possession. With regard also to the sums of 2101., 3501., and several others, he would not deny that they had not been paid him in hard cash. One of the items was a diamond ring, charged at 2001. He believed, he said, that he had it. He used to have jewellery from Harris and the prisoner, and also from Waterhouse, and then he used to change it amongst them, when he had a fresh transaction with either. In one in stance he gave Harris 801. for some diamond studs, and he afterwards let Joel have them, and he allowed him 401. in the account. He only objected to one item in the accounts, which was 251. for some opal studs, and he believed he had not had them, but he would not venture to swear that he had not. One of the items in the prisoner's account was a diamond ring, 85/. He supposed he had it. He knew he took the stones out, and sold them to Waterhouse. Could not say when he sold them, or whether it was on the very same day he purchased the ring from the prisoner. All he knew was that the stones were taken out and sold to Waterhouse, but he could not say when. He remembered the prisoner coming to the barracks in July, 1847, and telling him that some of his bills were either over-due or would soon become due, and that he asked him to renew them, but he refused to do so. He denied, however, that upon this occasion the prisoner asked him to give him a blank acceptance, or that he threatened to take legal proceedings. He also denied most posi tively that he had ever given a blank acceptance to Mr. Harris, or the prisoner, or any other person. He also said that when he came of age he had some idea of the amount of the bills which he had accepted during his minority, but he had not the least know ledge of their number. An action was still pending on this bill. It was shown to him at the office of Mr. Campbell, and when he pronounced the acceptance to be a forgery, he was asked to write his name, and he believed he s i gne d one or two papers. The usual mode of signing his name to bills of exchange was to put the initials of his christian n•tmes, but upon this occasion he wrote his name in full. At the conclusion of the cross-examination, it being nearly six o clock, the further proceedings were post poned until this morning. NEW CoURT. AGGRAVATED CASE OF ASSAULT . — , s , G. Harvey, the horse-dealer, who was on lUonday convicted in the Old Court of an assault on James Dodsley Tawney, whose melancholy death whilst g i v i ng evi dence is fresh in the recollection of our readers, was brought up to receive sentence. The ItiIiCORDER, after recurring to the atrocious nature of the assault and the very melancholy result, said he much regretted that the result of the medical inquiry into the immediate cause of the death of the prosecutor was such that an indictment for an offence of a graver nature than that which he had been con victed could not be brought against him. Any man who could be guilty of so dastardly and gross an act as the prisoner had must have a mind so ill-consti tuted that he (the Learned Recorder) felt any remarks he might make would be unavailing. The prisoner was then sentenced to twelvemonths' imprisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BIANSIOA-HOUSE. Faderman, Lourio, tind Gordon, the Germans, charged with having made a copper-plate engraving for the purpo: e of forging notes in imitation of the issue of the Russian Imperial Bank, were brought up before Alderman Gibbs for final examination. Mr. Parnell attended for Mr. Clarkson, the Coun sel for the Imperial B ink, instructed by Mr. Peachey, of the house of Oliverson and Co., of the Old Jewry, for the prosecution. Mr. Isaacs attended fur Fader man, and Mr. Norton for Lourio and Gordon. The following was the concluding evidence ad duced by Mr. Parnell for the prosecution : Elias Rosengarden, Unman, of Hutchinsoisstreet, Houndsditcb, said I know Faderman. He lodged at my house when he came over here last summer. He came to me about the middle of Ab (August) with a man of the name of Moses, and they lodged in the same room, and stayed about a fortnight or three weeks. I have seen the other two prisoners, but not with Faderman, at my house.. Gordon has bought things, such as a teakettle, froni me. Ido not know whether he called upon Faderman. There is a pri vate door which leads to Fadermati's room. I do not know whether Lourio is an acquaintance of Fa ,derman or Gordon. Wm. Meyer S. Cohen, who was examined on the last day of the examination, was again called and cross-examined by Mr. Norton for Lourio and Gordon. He said—l am a schoolmaster and private teacher. I am a translator of languages. I have been employed to translate the language once before about two years ago on an occasion similar to this. I was employed by Mr. Cramer, the Russian, and my charge for translating is a guinea a day. Privately I make translations enough. Mr. Norton was proceeding to ask questions appa rently meant to test the competency of the witness to act as a translator at all, when he was inter rupted by Alderman Gums, who said that Mr. Cohen had sworn to the correctness of the translations he bad rendered of the correspondence produced in confi dence, and nothing more was necessary to be stated by him in the present condition of the case. Mr. Norton submitted that he was perfectly justi fied in putting questions calculated to show whether the veracity of the witness was or was not to be relied upon. He considered that the translations were extremely imperfect. Both the Alderman and the Learned Counsel, no doubt, understood the mean ing of his objections. Mr. Isaacs—l contend that they are by no means true and correct translations of the letters produced, and that they ought not to be admitted as evidence. Mr. Peachey—Mr. Isaacs bad notice that he might send a person to the office of the solicitors for the prosecution, to translate the correspondence, provided he would supply the solicitors with a copy of the translation so made. Mr. George Henry Christian Spalte, senior cashier of one of the sections of the Imperial Russian Credit Note Office, said—The credit notes come through the department to which I belong, and I occa sionally sign them myself; by the authority of the Imperial Government.—(Here a genuine ten rouble note was produced.) This note is genuine, and notes of this kind were in circulation in Russia when I left that country, which was on the 18th of December, old style, and 30th, new style. ( l'he plate No. 3 was produced.) This plate is part of the engraving of the front of a ten rouble bank note. (Plate 4 produced.) This plate is the engraving of the back of the note. (Plate 2 produced.) This is the border or ornament of the front of a note. (Plate 1 produced.) This is the engraving of the faint lines on the front of the note. They are to be seen " weakly or faintly." The four plates together would make up a ten rouble note. In plate No. 3, the signa'ure of the two last, namely, the directors and the cashier, would, in a genuine note, be written by the persons whose names they purported to be. I have seen these two persons sign genuine notes together. Mr. Isaacs (for Faderman)—Supposing a note en graved from these plates was presented to you, in your official capacity, would you pay it ? Witness—l would if it were genuine. Mr. Norton—Have you looked at these plates with sufficient attention to he able to say that they would complete a note? Witness—Yes, certainly. 31r. Norton—ls a note complete without being numbered ? Witness—lt is not. Mr. Norton—ls there any number engraved on any of these plates ? Witness—There is nothing of the kind to he seen with the naked eye. There is AO number on any of them. Mr. Norton—Are nut these plates, or some of them, full of mistake?, and at variance with the ge nuine notes ? Witness —They are full of mistakes, and different on the back or wrcng side. Mr. Parnell here handed one of the notes de scribed as forgeries to the witness, and cross-exa mined him. The witness said, this note looks as if it were engraved from the plates I have seen The numbers on genuine national notes are pressed on, but how they are pressed is a secret. The back of the note is sufficiently accurate to impose upon an unskilful person. _ _ - Mr. Norton objected to the mode of examination pursued by Mr. Parnell. and differences on ( (to the witness)—Are the mistakes an e back o f the spurious note so obvious to be seen w i th out minute examination? Witness—They are not. r. Parnel l th Mr. Parnell—That concludes the evidence I have to offer in this case, and h ave now to ask of the Al derman to commit , these th ree prisoners. Alderman CriEns—l shall commit them for trial. Mr. Isaacs—As the Alderman has expressed his intention to commit my client, I shall say nothing here in defence or extenuation, for I know it would have no effect as to the prcsecution. Mr. Norton—l shall reserve the defence of my clients for their trial. Mr. Isaacs applied for the English money which had been found in possession of Faderman upon his apprehension, in order that it might be appropriated to the payment of the professional expenses incurred by his defence, and of the necessaries of life ; the un fortunate prisoner from conscientious scruples refused to partake of the prison fare, so that he was at that moment actually starving. Mr. Parnell said the Bank of England notes which had been taken from Federman were transmitted to London to pay for the engraving of the plates, and Mr. Feger, the per son employed, was not yet paid for the work. lle had no objection, however, to make such an arrangement as would enable the prisoner to make use of the amount of the notes, provided Mr. Isaacs became responsible for the production of the notes themselves should they be called for upon the trial. men • Alderman Gums acquiesced in the arrangement, and the prisoners were committed for trial. The following are the words used in the commit ment :—" For that they did in this city, within the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court, feloniously make a certain copper -plate, upon which mas engraved and made, in the Russian language, a certain note for the payment of money, of a certain foreign Prince, of a certai n f ore i gn state, to wit N i cholas, then and still being statute, &c. & e ." Empe ror o f a ll th e Russia ! , aga i nst the BOW-STREET. Henry Osborne the lanrd of the Unierity Hotel, in Grafton -street EAst, was summoned v at s the instance of a constable of the E division, for keeping his house open after one o'clock on new year's eve. Mr. Child (solicitor to the Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society) attended for the defendant, and explained, to the perfect satibfaction of the magistrate, that the gentlemen in his house at the time were 'mem bers of a club, to which the landlord usually gave a sup per on the last night of the old year. On this oc casion the festivities of the punch-bowl were kept up a little beyond the prohibited hour, but the general business of the house had not been prolonged an in stant ; the bar being punctually closed at one. Indeed the company assembled were almost in the nature of a private party. Mr. JARDINE said that this was a satisfacti ry answer to the chsrge, especially as the landlord and the house were admitted to he of the Lignot respec tability.--Summons dismissed. that he was a shareholder in the company—that he refused to pay on public grounds, adding that he should try the question. He was frequently urged to pay the difference in the fares, which only amounted to 3d., but on his refusal he was locked up. Mr. BURRELL asked the defendant why be did not pay the small amount rather than suffer the inconve nience of being locked up in the cell c f a station house such weather, and kept away all night from his family ? That it was proved he came up in a second class carrier, although he only pail third-class fare. fondant said that wlicn he got on the platform at Woolwich, a railway porter pointed out a carriage, into which he got; that he (defendant) u as a stranger on that line, but being in the habit of travelling on the Eastern Counties Railway, the third-class car riages on that line were so like the second class on the South-Eastern, that he did not know one from the other, and as he considered the railway porter at Woolwich was the person who misled him, he there fore contended that he was justified in refusing to pay the excess of fare. He was aware that the amount claimed was trivial, but still he did not like to submit to what he considered an imposition. Mr. Church, the solicitor to the company, produced the bye-laws, by which it appeared the defendant had rendered himself liable to a penalty of forty shillings for the offence ; that the circumstance of the defen dant refusing to give his address, and afterwards giving a fictitious name, threw such suspicion on his conduct throughout the affair, that he (Mr. Church) considered it incumbent on him to sue for a mitigated penalty, at all events, in this case, to prevent occur rences of a similar description. Defendant said the railway servants were to blame ; that they ought to have asked him at Woolwich, before he got into the carriage, what class ticket he had; this, however, was not done, and a second-class fare was demanded, much to his surprise, when he got to London-bridge. He considered he was grossly il' e ased in being locked up as a prisoner all night. Mr. BURRELL said that, if the defendant's object was to try the question, he ought to have paid the extra fare demanded, and not subjected himself to a night's incarceration. I must say that it was in consequence of your own perverseness that led you into the dilemma, and I shall fine you 20s. Defendant—l have not the money about me, and 1 think it a great hardship, in addition to being locked up all night, now to be fined for an act which arose from the negligence of the railway servants. The defendant was detained until he sent for the amount of the penalty, which he paid in the course of the day, and was discharged. PROTECTION TO BRITISH IN DUSTRY.—ALA RMING RIOT. STAFFORD, THURSDAY NIGHT.—For some days past the farmers and others connected with agricul ture have been canvassing the county of Stafford with a view to bring as many of their friends as possible to support Lord Talbot at the meeting which was fixed to take place to-day. On the other hand, the town of Stafford, which has always been cele brated for its free-trade opinions, was not wanting in its endeavour to frustrate the proceedings. At twelve o'clock to-day the doors of the Shire-hall were thrown open, and an immense concourse of persons rushed in and soon filled every available space. In the gallery from which the speakers were to address the meeting we noticed Lord Talbot, Lord St. Vincent, Lord Newport, M.P., Lord Lewisham, M.P., Mr. Adderley, M.P., Mr. Sidney, Major Caetwynd, &c. Lord ST. VINCENT came forward, and was about to address the meeting, when the Free-traders set up a most discordant noise, consisting of hisses, groans, and yells, &c., which lasted for several minutes. Ater in vain endeavouring to obtain a hearing, his Lordship proceeded, amidst the clamour which pre vailed, to say that he would not be put down ; that he had a claim to be heard, and heard he would be. He had a greater claim, perhaps, than any person pre sent to be heard, as he stood before them a victim of the principles of free trade.—(" Well, we won't hear you ; sit down.") He was a large landed proprietor, and had had his property destroyed by the spread of free-trade principles, the effects of which w er e tr u ly disheartening—( P ' Give us cheap bread; lower your rents")—and he felt assured that no class of menu facturers or traders, however they might have up to the present time, could regard themselves as safe if those principles were to be allowed to go on. [At this state of the proceedings several disturbances took place in the body of the hall ; and amidst the cries of "police" and " murder," a general light took place ; both parties appeared to be pretty well armed for the fray, and a• set-to tl la D,nnybrook commenced, but after about fifteen mi nutes' good fighting, the police were let into the hull from a side (Lair, and they at once set upon all those who appeared to show the slightest symptoms of dis agreement with the conveners of the meeting. Silence having being in a measure restored], Lord Sr. Vincent again proceeded. He was surprised that they would not allow him to address them —(" We don't want protection.") He knew that they did want protection, and he would mention to those shoe makers who he believed were the parties who were disturbing the meeting, that he had been informed by a very good authority, that at the pr esen t ti me there were thou san d s of shoemakers who were work ing for less than 6d. per day in the city of Paris.— (" What is that to do with us ?") He mentioned the fact only as a warning to those who were making the disturbance that they might not be led to suppose that free trade would be of any service to them.---(" We are starved now, and yet you want to make bread dearer." "Lower your rents.") Here again the noise became so great that it was utterly impossible to hear a word that the speaker gave utterance to. Several persons in vain endeavoured to procure for his Lordship a hearing. He sat down by proposing that Lord Talbot take the chair. Lord NEWPORT, M.P., rose to second the motion, and was received with loud hissing and groaning. He said he was not going to detain them if they would listen. Lord Talbot who—(Groans and hisses) — never during the time he represented you in Parlia t—never told you one thing, and af.erwards went .o the House of Commons and voted for another. — (Great confusion and fighting.) As they would not allow him to speak, he would second the motion that Lord Talbot do take the chair. Lord Talbot came forward. He had no sooner taken his place at the front of the rails, in the gal lery, than some miscreant in the body of the ball threw a large stone at his Lordship's head, which, however, missed his Lodship and fell on the forehead of Mr. Fowler, a reporter, who was standing by his Lordship's side, inflicting a large contused w o u n d. Lord :Newport had the gentleman conveyed to the judges' room, where his head was dressed. For nearly half an hour the chairman was endea vouring to address the meeting. During the whole of the period the rioting was at its height in the body of the hall, the policemen who were present being totally insufficient effectually to quell the disturbance. A large number of the rioters were, however, ejected by the farmers, and the chairman ordered the doors to be closed. This was no sooner done than the mob outside commenced pulling up the stones of the court yard in front of the Shire-hall, which they hurled through the windows with such violence as to break whole frames out at one stroke. The mob inside, in the meantime, tore up several benches and forms, with which they armed themselves. After some sharp fighting, in which some scores of heads were broken, Lord TALBOT again addressed the meeting, but it would be totally impossible to give anything like an outline of his Lordship's speech, the riot and con fusion entirely preventing the reporters from hearing. When his Lordship resumed his seat, a large paving stone was hurled through the window at him, but, as in the previous case, his Lordship escaped unhurt. Mr. T. TURNER moved—" That the present dis tressed and painful condition of the agricultural in terest, bearing particularly on the tenant-farmers, the agricultural labourers, and others employed in the cultivation of the soil, as well as all trades dependent upon agriculture for support, the grievous injury in flicted upon Ireland, our colonial empire, the shipping and all other industrial interests, is mainly attribut able to the mistaken policy of free trade." Mr. Turner was commencing to address the meet ing, when the mob from without opened another bat tery against the windows, and the stones came flying into the ball in ev,ry direction. Lord Talbot sent a messenger to the Ma) or to say that he, as chairman of the meeting, requested that his worship would prevent any disturbance taking place in the town. Mr. HARTSHORN seconded the resolution. Mr. ADDERLEY, M.P., move a resolution to the effect that an address be presented to her Majesty, praying her to dissolve Peil limn( nt. The appearance of the place at this period became most alarming ; battles were taking place in all parts of the body of the hall, and the stones were pouring in through the windows as fast as a heavy shower of rain, much to the terror of those in the galleries. Mr. ADDERLEY, addressing the mob, who had again forced open the front doors, which they were now trying to wrench from off their hinges, said—lt is a disgrace to this meeti ng that a body of Eoglislimen should behave in the way you have done. It is a dis grace to the person who has set this mob on to-day to behave in the manner they have.—(Cheers.) You wish for an extension of the suffrage, and you have been told by_ your oppon en t s th a t you are not fi t to receive it. Your conduct here to-day has convinced me that you are not fit to be entrusted with the suffrage. You have brought a lasting disgrace upon yourselves by your dastardly conduct. At this stage of the preceedives, the superintend ent of the police informed his Lordship that it was quite impossible fir him longer to hol,t out against the mob, as his men were knocker! down in all dirt ctioip. The messenger IN horn L trd Talbot had sent to the M'tvor returned, an stated thi.t his worship refused to act at ell in the matte-, as he considt red it to be the duty < f the county niagistrattF. The mob, finding that they were now quite un checked in their violence, com:nenct'd battering in the doors and window s in the must determined mariner, stones weighing from 401 b. to 501 b. being thrown in amongst the meeting. Lord TALBOT with some difficulty stood forward, and said the Mayor of Stafford having refused to assist in putting down the riot which is now existing outside, I cannot, as a county magistrate, allow the property of the county to be demolished in this way, and therefore I declare the meeting dissolved. Upon leaving the Shire-hall, Lord Talbot and his friends proceeded to the Swan Tavern, where he was followed by a mob of nearly 1,000 persons. - Whilst his Lordship was in the act of crossing the road some miscreant struck his Lordship with a brick. This was the signal for further destruction, for the mob imme diately commenced smashing the windows of tie hotel where his Lordship and his friends were stay ing. His Lordship, on receiving the blow on his breast, coolly told the mob that they we acting very unlike Englishmen. From the hotel the mob made their way to the railway station, where they teceived the farmers as they came down to go by the several trains with showers of bricks and stones. Upwards of 100 persons are more or less wounded, some with broken heads, some with black eyes, &c. One gen tleman who was going down to the station in his gig was so severely pelted that the horse took fright and the driver was thrown our. STAFFORD, FRIDAT.--Last night, the rioters, to the number of 1,500, kept perambulating the town, hooting and pelting every person who had the slightest appearance of a farmer, many of whom were treated in a most brutal manner. One gentleman, whilst going from the town to the railway station, was pelted by a mob with brick ends and flint stones to such an extent that he was quite overpowered, and whilst en deavouring to jump over a low hedge, to avoid his as sailants, received a severe wound from a stone on the head, which for some time rendered him quite sense less, and the blood which flowed from his wound com pletely saturated his garment-, and it was with great difficulty that he escaped with his life. The rioters themselves, however, did not escape unscathed, for whilst the county police were enabled to act, they did so in the most effective manner, and every person who was pointed out to them as interfer ing was immediately turned out, and if they showed the slightest resistance they were knocked down like bullocks by the truncheons of the officers, and many persons who were only indulging themselves with what they called " a lark," went home with a broken head. Many of the farmers fled from the building in the early part of the fracas, a course which gave their opponents courage to persevere. O;hers, however, when the matter became seriou., fought lustily ; and one was observed with a heavy silver-handled riding whit) to knock down about 20 of the opposition. The whole of the circumstances connected with the affair are now being drawn up, and are to be sub mitted to the Secretary of State for the Home De partment. The mob kept perambulating the town till a late hour, and smashed several windows in the houses a such persons as they knew were Protectionists. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Letters have been received from the Inconstant, 3G, Captain Shepherd, at California, giving a deplo rable account of the distress existing there. The American men-of-war were completely denuded of their crews ; and in one instance the men in an American man-of-war's boat not only deserted, but first threw their officers overboard. The Inconstant had been engaged in the protection c f British shipping and merchandise, and parties of the ship's company had been sent away in merchant craft, to navigate them to Valparaise. Notwithstanding the great temptation to desert, the Inconstant had lust only one wan, and he was drovmed in his attempt to swim ashore. Tne Ac'xin has been removed from the basin, to Wool ings up the harbour. The Diligenci-, navy transport, is alongside the yard at Port-mouth, to load stores for the eastward. The Terrible, steam-frigate, C iptain Hope, C. 8., was taken out of dock at Portsmouth yesterday, at two p.m., having her damage completely repaired in less than forty• eight hours. Sate has received about 20 or 30 fet tf new false keel tfr, a piece of rik w forefoot and false keel f irward, two new bilge planks on her port side, and as the centre part of the false keel had been driven on one side, the ship had to be suspended off her blocks by staves, to hare the keel set in place. As the ship had her guns, stores, and all her weights on board, this was rather a tedious operation. Altogether, the celerity and dispatch that have been displayed in repairing this fine vessel hive surprised every person here, and do infinite credit to Mr. Fincharn and the executives of Portsmouth yard. Tois being the first time that this splendid and deservedly-famed steamer has been in dock at Portsmouth, a number of scientific and nautical men have taker) the opportunity of inspecting her bottom. 11-r beautiful lines and symmetrical formations have been much and very deservedly admired by all who have seen her. When taken out of dock the tide had ebbed too much to permit her being taken out of the steam basin. She will, therefore, come out of the basin to-morrow, and be ready about Tuesday to pro ceed to Plymouth. The Penelope, steam-frigate, will resume her place in Dock No. 7, on Monday, at Portsmouth. The Devastation, steam•sloop, was taken out of the old basin at Portsmouth on Thursday, and will be brought into the new steam basin to-day to be further fitted. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY EvEraNG.—Wind E.S.E., moderate bre&ze., with thick fogu weather. CHATHAM, JAN. 11.—The Vulcan steam-frigate, which was taken into dock last week for the purpose of having her bottom payed with Mr. Peacock's pre paration for preventing corrosion and foulness of ships' bottoms, was completed this day, and this ship will be put out of dock on Monday next, and will then be navigated forthwith to Sheerness. The Iphigenia (lent to the Marine Society at Deptford from this ordinary about 18 years ago), her service being no longer required, is to be navigated to this port to form one of the ships in ordinary. The Columbine, 16• gun sloop, Commander C. J. Hay, having a complement of 130 men, now on her passage home from th e Chi na seas , i s or d ere d to this port to be paid off. The Cressy, 84 guns, building in this yard, and which was expected to have been launched in the spring of the present year, is, by command of the Admiralty, to remain on the stocks until further orders. This ship is front a design of Messrs. Read, Cruize, and Chatfield, members of the late School of Naval Architecture ; she is a splendid specimen of what the members of that school can accomplish. The individual payment of the workmen of this dockyard comes into operation on Saturday, the 12th, at noon. The plan is one of Mr. Ward'e, the late Secretary of the Admiralty, now Governor of the lonian Islands. Colonel John Stoyte, commanding the 17th Regi ment, " Royal Tigers," has received official notice from General G. Browne, K.H., Deputy Adjutant- General, that the 7th is to remove from Chatham for a northern county. It is expected that it will go to Manchester. The regiment, it is believed, will move in the early part of next month, and will be relieved by the 77th from Portsmouth for the per formance of garrison duty. Woo.nwicn, JAN. 11.—The Monkey steam-vessel, Master Commander William Bryant, took on board an extra supply of coals this morning at Woolwich, and left for Greenhithe, to remain in readiness to start at an early hour to-morrow morning, with the Invt sti g at or i n t ow; an d t h e Af r i can steAtn - v es , i is to tow the E n t erpr i se t o t h e D owns .

The jet of steam exhi bited to Captain Collinson at the Royal Arsenal showed that it scattered a great quantity of spray about, and was liable to wet the . patties employed in the operation. The experiment made by Lieut.-Col. Colquhoun of the carriage department was on a piece of ice 2 feet 6 inches long by 14 inches thick. The jet of steam directed against the ice was from a pipe one inch in diameter with a steam pressure of 401 b. to ASOUTHWARK. .Henry .211ackrell, clerk in a proctor's office, was brought before Mr. Burrell, charged with travelling in a second-class carriage from Woolwich, with a third-class ticket, and refusing to pay the extra fare. Roberts, the ticket-collector at the London -bridge terminus, said that on the arrival of the half -past ten o'clock train on the previous night from Woolwich, the defendant produced a third-class ticket, aNhough he was in a second-class carriage, and when a sked to pay the difference in the fare he refused, saying, that it was i❑ consequence of the negligence of the rail way servants he got into the wrong carriage.. lie also rt fused to give his address, and at first gave the name of Smith, and af•wr wards Mackrell.

THE POST -OFFICE NGTICE.--RELIEF FROM SON DAY LABOUR.—Ishe P“st office novice, which we pub lished yesterday, orde,rieg all the Pust-offices in the kingdom to be closed on Sundays alter ten o'clock in the morning, is a most important one., and relie4e more persens from Sunday labour than at first sight would appear. There cannot be a doubt but what in future some thousands of persons will be ettable d to attend l) vine service on Sunday evenings who have been hitherto prevented from doing so. For ever since the recent regulation by which Post-offices have been closed from ten in the morning until five in the afternoon, the attendance of one or more persons have been always re quired is every one of the thousands of post-offices and rural receiving houses throughout the kingdom, from five till nine or ten o'clock iu the evening, to receive prepaid and registered letters, and to give out letters, and to answer official inquiries, and which attendance will in future be unnecessary. METROPOLITAN COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS,— The Commission. rs of the Metropolitan Sewers held a .pecial meeting yesterday, at the offices, Greek-street, Soho square, confirming a bye-law with respect to the appointment of an engineer-in chief ; and also for the purpose of appointing Mr. Frank Foster to that office, in pursuance of such bye law. The meeting was ap pointed for twelve o'clock, the usual hour ; but it was twenty-five minutes to one before ten commissioners arrived, which is the quorum of a special court. They were Sir John Burgoyne (who presided), Mr. Hawes, Mr. Stephenson, M.P., Sir H. de la Beche, Mr. Lewes, Mr. Hardwick, Captain Harness, Captain Dawson, Mr. Pete, M.P., and Captain Vetch. After the bye-law had been read and confirmed, the appointment of Mr. Foster to the office of engineer was formally moved by the chairman, and seconded by Mr. Stephenson. Mr. Peto observed that though he had never been associated with Mr. Foster in the execution of any public work, he had had frequent opportunities during the last fifteen years of observing his talents in connexion with some of the largest works in the kingdom ; and he had no hesitation in saying it was impossible to have selected a more efficient person. The motion was then carried unani mously ; after which the business of the special court termiunted. According to the notice an ordinary court should have been held •• at half-past twelve o'clock pre cisely," but the commissioners immediately after t he special court u nex p ec t e dly went i nto comm itt e e i _ e with closed doors. Considerable time elapsed before t_ business of the ordinary court commenced, and, as usual, E as 'ci a 'a me r chant, gentleman it was disposed of with great rapidity. r THE LIVERPOOL DEATH OF THE CHAIRMAN FRIDAY.—R. o S.

The Hermes, steam-sloop, Commander Fishbourne, is entering petty officers and able seamen; and 1 ser geant, 1 corporal, 1 bugler, and 17 gunners of the Reyhl Marine Artillery arrived at the dockyard rail way station from Portsmouth for service in her. The Niger, steam-sloop, had her steam up on Wednesday afternoon to try her engines, and the average number of revolutions attained was 53 per minute, a fair number considering that the trial was made in the b as i n, and equal to 'l '7o to 75 had the vessel been making way in the river or at see. Captain 14:11iee, controller 01 steam machinery, accompanied by Mr. Ilunyhreys, chief engineer, visited the Niger when the steam Was up yesterday, end she appeared to be working vi-ry satisfactorily. c.,pt,i„ Elice, smith Ilutuphreys, subsequently rent on board th,e,fAelxiii:exrisinteeanmt:vbeasdsebl,eesen hcearreriaedveoryn r t severali ngr (-1.%t s days, and were going on nt the time of the visit, to test the relative capabilitie s fur work of small high-pressure engines wht n zpplied to the purposes of screw pro f ulsion as an euxiliary power--a means of attaining an end vhich is still receiving great attention from the members of th e engineering establishment at Woulwich. The trials on t hi s occasion have been made to ascertain the compara tive merits of the disc engine, as improved by Mr. Bishop, and the engines by Messrs. Seaward, both nominally of 10-horse power each. It will be recollected that the results of the trials down the river gave the speed of the disc engine as equal to 5.148 knots per hour, whilst that obtained by the other engines fitted in the same vessel was 4 515 knots per hour, showing an advantage in favour of the disc engine, as respects capability of producing speed, equal to more than half-a knot per hour. The of ject of the comparative trial made this week, in the Minx, in the basin at Woolwich, was with the view of determining the relative consump tion of fuel and water required by the respective engines for the performance of the same amount of work. Messrs. Seaward's engines were first tried, and they consist of two cylinders of nine inches in diameter, making a quick stroke, acting directly on the screw-shaft, and these engines were carefully ex amined and modified previous to the commencement of the trials. The results of the trial with these engines, extending over a period of seven hours and thirteen minutes, were—the production of a mean speed of 112 revolutions of the screw per minute, with the average consumption of 1,1201 b. of water, and 1551 b. of fuel per hour. These engines, nomi nally of 10-hon=e power, were found, by the indi cator, to exhibit a force of 27-horse power, conse quently, the consumption of water was 41/113, and that of fuel 54ib., fur each indicated horse-power. The results of the trial with the disc engine, driving the same propeller, and supplied with steam from the same boiler, extending over a period of seven hours and forty-one minutes, during which time it required the same quantity of water as that taken by the other engine in seven hours and thirteen minutes—were the production of the same mean speed with the average consumption of 1,0521 h. of water, and 1311 b. of fuel per hour, the work performed being the same as with the other engines; these consumptions are in the proportion of 391 h. of water and 516. of fuel fur each indicated horse-power. The officers studying steam at the factory were present during the trials, and appeared to take a great interest in their results. 7 I i
