CAMBRIDGESHIRE. 7 to 1 agst Newminster 20 to 1 agst Curl 25 to 1 agst Darkie—taken THE GREAT EXHIBITION. (THIS DAY.) In the early stages of the Exhibition some degree of ,apprehension was felt lest the rush of visitors on the fi,-st shilling day should put the strength of the building t o an unfair test. Accordingly precautions of every conveivable character were taken to avert acci dents and preserve order; but, lo! when the eventful day came, the numbers fell very far short of what had been anticipated, and the Commissioners, for once, were entirely out in their cal culations. Everybody stopped away because everybody else was sure to go on the first shilling day, and the re sult was highly satisfactory to those who ventured be ,neath the crystal roof, in spite of the unfavourable predictions about the stability of its supports. They saw the wondrous treasures which the building contained without the inconvenience of a crush, and had the best possible chance of examining minutely the principal objects of this stupendous collection of industrial curiosities. How different, how ever, has been the last shilling day! Pouring in torrents xrom the earliest dawn until long past noon, the streets aed public vehicles have yet been filled almost to re pletion with men and women of all classes, bent upon taking " a last fond look" at the interior of the Great Exhibition, and the consequence has been that the re ceipts to-day have:added another 5,0001. to the accumu lating exchequer of the Commissioners. The numbers np to four o'clock, as returned by the police, were 90,036. Notwithstanding that this immense assemblage of peo ple was collected together within the limits of the Crystal Palace itself, the difficulty of circulation was, comparatively spea kin g , of no moment. At the tran sept, where the various streams meet, it is true, there was a good deal of pushing and crushing, but every one seemed conscious of the importance of keeping his temper or exercising a little patience, and in the cod the twisting and squeezing oper,qion was looked upon more as an excellent joke than an inconvenience. The police, thee ' , fore , who manage their part of the business with ad nairat, le skill and tact, experienced no trouble in per suading - the multitude to " keep moving;" and altogether the resu i is of the last three days at the Exhibition have been of thus most gratifying character. KOSSUTH. YiNg, as "tz t t l y :fit tw th Puu t '*l The Paris Pres,ve publishes the following reply to the calumnies on lic,.isuth which, emanating from the forgery department of the Austrian Chancery, have been transmitted to the jcurnals which are organs of the Austrian (iovernmsnt, at:d are now in the course of publication in France and in thit country : " The Government has not permitted Kossuth to pass through France ; the Constitutdinnel is not sa tisfied with this refusal ; it insults the noble exile, it reproaches him with having usurped power, and with only makinar the most miserable use of it. In this, the Constitutionnel only repeats what was said by the official journals of Austria at the time of the breaking out of the Hungarian insurrection. Kossuth, ac cording to their accounts, was only an ambitious man, a fanatic, a petty lawyer, and an insignificant journalist. The great monarchy laughed at the ef forts of this scribbler, of whom the valiant marshals of the empire would only make one mouth ful. The bombarder of Prague, Prince de Win disohgratz, was chosen to bring to reason this drOle, and the handful of wretches whom he had faoaticised by his ideas of nationality and indepen dence. The first bulletins of the campaign ex hausted the vocabulary of contemptuous terms for the insurgents, and of glorious epithets for the imperial army. The occups , ion of Buda and of Pesth in No vember, 1848, was considered as the termination of the war. ATe Deuce was sung. The revolutionists of Kossuth hzd, it was said, vanished at the approach of Windiscbgratz, and Hungary was more than ever united to Austria. The news was every day expected at Vienna of the total dispersion of the bands who still infested the country, and who were vigorously pur sued by the faithful subjects of the legitimate sove reign. The stupefaction was consequently great when it was known that these bands had become regular armies, having as much discipline and more valour than the imperial army, and that Windiscbgratz had been obliged to fly, leaving in the bands of the rebels a great number of prisoners and military stores of all kinds. The invincible marshal was recalled, and this superb hombarder, who admitted none but princes in his staff, and who kept up an almost royal court, was obliged to retire into Moravia, to an estate mortgaged to M. de Rothschild. There was then a short cessation of hostili ties, which Kossuth admirably turned to account. The preaarataons which he made, the order which he esta. blii.hed in every branch of the Government at Co morn, at Cronstadt, and at Kaschau, the pecuniary resources which he organized, and the enthusiasm which he awakened were truly prodigious. Five armies, forming an ensemble of 180,000 men with an artillery of more than 300 pieces of cannon, three fortresses of the first rank, and a great number of second and third-rate ones, all well supplied with warlike stores,—such were the elements which this man, endowed with fabulous activity, placed at the service of his country, which was struggling for its independence. It marched from victory to victory, until the moment when Austria, beaten, ruined, and discouraged, was reduced to the degree of humi liation of confessing her weakness before Europe, by appealing to Russia for a ss i s t ance. Indelible disho nour, which henceforth made of the imperial army the advanced guard o f th e Cossacks against th e lib erty of Europe I Thi s i s w h a t the Constitutionnel calls making the most miserable use of power.' As we shall have at some future day to return to the affair of Hungary, we sh a ll now no f urt h er i ns i st on it. Our only wish, by these few remarks, has been to show what there is unjust and inconsistent in the manner in which the friend s of the Government treat an il lustrious man, whose misfortunes. ought at least to have sheltered de defend Kfroo,smuthinsults. avail is it to Besides, of what preaches him w i t h not havaigntac'sltevpt a jou rna l w h o re- himself i n kept e back ground, like Bern ? etttutnnel ought to know that th ere i s a good reason fo ' r Bem io not show ing bhnself—he is dead."

The announcement that this celebrated advocate of the Bloomer costume was to address a public audience in the City Hall, and appear in the dress, drew an immense number of people to the Hall on Monday night, the demand for tickets during the day being almost unprecedented. The speculation, for such we understand it to be, must therefore hare proved a tolerably successful one, as there could not have been fewer than 4,000 people in the Hall, not t ileing into account the number of disappointed ticket-holders, whose clamours for admitta nce , after the Hall was choke full, were both loud and long. Long before eight o'clock, the large area and galleries were crowded to excess, even stand ing room was at a premium — every one being anxious at any sacrifice of personal ease or comfort, to obtain a view of the Bloomer. The appearance of the lady, escorted by a young gentleman, one of the speculators, as we understand, was the signal for a tremendous burst of noise—it is impossible to call it cheering— from all parts of the hall. Her dress was of course the object of eage-r_scrutiny ; and we observe(' various des perate attempts on the part of undersized gents. to get a glimpse of that garment which Mrs. Dexter chooses to designate by the name of trousers. Taking this lady's attire as a criterion of the elegance and com fort of the Bloomer costume, we believe that very few who saw her would care about saying that it pos sessed much of either of these qualities. It presented the nearest approximation, in our view, to the riding habit of a horsewoman, with the long skirts cut off an inch or two below e knee—their place being supplied by short wide trowsers, reaching to and fastened round the ankles, the whole being terminated by cloth boots. The only thing decorative was a broad scarf and sash of Victoria tartan thrown over the shoulders and fastened round the waist ; but the general effect of the whole dress was anything but handsome. This may possibly be owing to the wearer, who is rather of a petite figure, and not exactly cast in the mould of the Venus de Medici; but whatever be the reason, very few ladies (and there were many present) are likely to be converted to fromßloomerismgb. t t a he be sp m ec a i t m er e i n al p e r f es w en b t ie e h d fur thei r inspection last ei the upper'part of the dress was composed appeared to be dark-coloured cloth or merino, fitting tight mtortsh.epsehxatpeer,, the trousers tr o mouaseeirfsestbedeinnge small e.l black la a c m k eu s n a t tin ef . nerve throughout be ee less sdeatbl than thirty-five whl years waschshe subjected, cannot o f age , and may be more—but this is a delicate subject, and we forbear pursuing it. It is unneces sary following the lady throughout the lecture, which she contrived, in the midst of repeated inter ruptions, to deliver. Of course she insisted on the absolute right of the fair sex to adopt that style of dress which they conceived to be most conducive to their personal comfort and convenience, and main tained that in the Bloomer costume—of which she declared the advantages from personal experience— there was nothing offensive to modesty. On the contrary, she avowed that it was both convenient, modest, and becoming; and expressed her assurance • that it would be adopted by every woman of good heart and disposition. A cruel wag in the I hall at this point raised a laugh at the expense of the ; fair Bloomer, by v.. - king her if she included along with these "good understandings." Amidst various epi sodes of this kind, which every now and then checked ' the progress of the lecture for a few minutes, Mrs. Dexter struggled on and made her bow to the audi ence about half•past nine o'clock, amid tremendous cheering, hooting, waving of hats, &c. With some difficulty she got off the platform and into a side room, where we presume she waited till the coast was clear, though we have little doubt that the groups, who were gathering round the foot of the stairs lead ing to the hall, would not allow her to leave without a noisy demonstration at parting.—North British Mail. THE GREAT WRESTLING MATCH FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF ENGLAND, AND 300 L, AT ULVERSTON. (From the Ulverston Advertiser of this day.) At length tho anxiously expected match between the two renowned aspirants to the championship of the northern wrestling ring has been decided, and the Ulverston ring has been the chosen arena in which they met. For a long series of years Ul verston has been renowned for holding one of the most celebrated wrestling meetings in the kingdom. Here men whose prowess has, rendered them celebrated have met yearly to decide on whom rested the palm of superiority; and yesterday two of the most remarkable men in Engllll , l—not alone for their wrestling capabili ties and the ease with which, in the manly back-hold style, they can throw all other men, but for their gigantic stature and formation—have met and decided which is entitled for the future to the grand distinction of cham pion, and the rich priza of 300 sovereigns. THE WRESTLING. Umpires: Mr. G. Donaldson for Mr. R. Atkinson; and Mr. Jonathan Whitehead, fur Mr. W. Jackson. Reteree—Mr. Jacob Robinson. FIRST FALL. Stood. P. Atkinson. W. Jackson. In the first fall the men got hold quickly, Jackson stepped in and tried to hipe with right leg, but Atkinson mending his hold a little, stepped over Jacksou'i leg and threw him off his breast. SECOND FALL. W. Jackson. R. Atkin son. Tho men had again soon hold; Jackson tryinc , to mend his hold, was firmly held by Atkinson, who, if anything, had the best hold, but Jackson threw him cleverly with a half cross-buttock. TIIIRD FALL. H. Atkinson. W. Jackson. A little longer this time in getting hold; both trying to mend; Atkinson got a good hold round the waist of his opponent, and threw him over his knee. FOURTH FALL. B. Atkinson. W. Jackson. As in the two previous falls, they had soon hold— Jackson wont to work instanter—tried to hipe, and was stopped—again ho was stopped, Atkinson all the time improving his hold, and threw his opponent over his knee, being the final fall.

UNCLE BENJAMIN:, SER MON: Not many hours ago I heard Uncle Benjamin dis cussing this matter to his son, who was complaining of pressure. Rely upon it, Sammy," said the old man, as he leaned on his staff, with his grey locks flowing in the breeze of a May morning, " murmuring pays no bills. I have been an observer many times these 50 years, and I never saw a man helped out of a hole by curs ing his horse!.

"Aye," cried Sammy, "you may say that, and a mother-in-law and - two apprentices into the bargain, and I should like to know what a poor man can learn here, when the greatest scholars and lawyers are at loggerheads, and can't for their lives tell what has become of the hard money."

Donation to Austra lia amount OPERATION OF THE 211ERCAN TILE MARINE ACT. By the 82d clause of 13th and 14th Viet., cap. 93, it is provided, that with regard to any ship out of her Majesty's dominions, if any complaint be made by the masters or mates, or by one-third o f the crew, or by the consignee, to any naval officer in command, or any consul, such persons are required, if they con sider that the charge demands investigation, to sum mon a naval court ; and the Act specifies how such court is to be constituted, and gives it certain powers, f;he report of the investigation to be sent to the Board of Trade. By a report from the British consulate at Stettin, dated September 19, to investigate a charge made against William Robson, mate of the Emily, of Sunderland, who was charged by the master with having endeavoured to cause the crew to disobey law ful commands, the Court, after due inquiry, pro nounced the mate guilty, and forwarded his certificate of service to the Board of Trade ; and their Lord ships have been pleased to direct that the same be suspended for twelve months frcm the present date. By the 28th clause of the said Act, cap. 93, the Board of Trade may direct the local marine board of any port, with the assistance of the magistrate, to hold a court of inquiry into any complaints of in. competency from habitual drunkenness or tyrannical habits ; and if any master or mate is found by such naval court incompetent to fulfil his duties from either of these causes the Board of Trade can suspend the certificate of service or competency of such offender. In pursuance of the powers thus vested by the Act a naval court was summoned to inquire into the conduct of William Forster, master of the William, of Sunderland, for assaults inflicted on the mate, Thomas Dawson, on the high seas, and also with charges of drunkenness and tyrannical beha viour. A similar complaint had been previously in vestigated by the police magistrates of Sunderland, when William Forster was fined 40s. for the as sault. The naval court of inquiry having investigated the case, reported the result of their decision in con demnation of the defendant to the Board of Trade, and their Lordships have been pleased to direct that Fors ter's certificate be returned to them, and that the same be suspended for one year ; and further, that the de fendant produce testimonials of good conduct during the interval at the end of the year. HEALTHOF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) In the week ending last Saturday 1,014 deaths were registered in the metropolitan districts. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the year 1841-50 the average number was 980; but if the population in which this mortality occurred had :been equal to the present number of inhabitants the average would pro bably have been 1,078. In the previous week, ending September 27, the deaths were only 958, compared with which the last week has apparently produced an increase. It must be observed, however, that the present return has been unduly augmented by coroners' cases, many of which properly belong to antecedent periods, but have been accumulating till the end of the quarter, when their registration was ultimately completed. By far the larger proportion of deaths on which the coroners hold inquests are produced by violent means, and fall under the general denomination " violence" in the table of fatal causes. In last week 70 cases of this description are enumerated; and of these 3 were the result of poison, 6 of burns and scalds, 10 of hanging and suffocation, 22 of drowning and immer sion, 24 of fractures and contusions, 5 of wounds and other injury. Five children were suffocated—one by food and three by overlaying, or otherwise, in bed. A brickmaker died of tetanus, produced by burns which he received when lying on a brickkiln. The following analysis is presented of the 1,014 deaths returned last week. The cause of death was — Certified by written statement of qua- Cases. lified practitioners in ... 858 Returned by coroner's jury in .. 124 Not certified, because the deceased person had no medical attendance, in 11 Not certified, and only reported by informant of the death . . ... 21 Total ... . . 1,014 From the above it appears that the cases in which the disease was described by the medical attendant, together with those returned by the coroner, form a proportion of nearly" 7 per cent. of the total number. Of the 1,014 persons in this return, 260, or about a fourth of the whole were the victims of epidemic diseases ; 61 died of typhus, 70 of diarrhoea, dysen tery, and cholera, 21 of hooping-cough, 48 of scar latina, 17 of measles, and 18 of smallpox. The wife of a gardener, who lived in New-street, Deptford, died on the 28th of September of smallpox, at the age of 30 years. She had been vaccinated, but two children, who are now lying very ill with the same complaint, have not been protected by vaccination. Mr. Paine, the Registrar, adds, "that the house con sists of four rooms, and hrs a family in each, in all about 16 persons, and that a fatal case of smallpox without vaccination is now regiAered, which occurred in the house adjoining." The following deaths occurred in the Smallpox Hospital at Holloway on the 20th, 28th of September, and Ist of October respectively : A sailor, a black from Chili, aged 25 years, "smallpox, confluent, unprotected (11 days)." A labourer, from Whitechapel, aged 24 years, "small-pox, confluent, unprotected (20 days).' A man from the Richmond Union Workhouse, aged 74 years, "smallpox, confluent, unprotected (7 days)." Four deaths from cholera were registered in the week ; of these the following are the particulars : In Belgrave sub-district, at 12i, Commercial-road, September 29, the wife of a carpenter, aged 34 years, died of "epidemic cholera." In Islington, west sub-district, at 5, Half-moon crescent, September 28, the son of a porter, aged 5 months, "cholera infantum (8 days)." In Ratcliff sub-district, at 15, Alfred-terrace, Bath-street, September 29, the daughter of a clerk in the London Docks, aged 4 months, "cholera in fantum (18 hours), convulsions (2 hours)." In Wandsworth, at the Surrey County Lunatic Asylum, a woman 57 years, "bilious cholera (28 hours)." Next in amount to the epidemic class is the tuber cular, which numbers 167 cases—of which 6 are as cribed to scrofula, 21 to tabes mesentericn, 21 to hy drocephalus, and 119 to phthisis or consumption. Diseases of the brain and nervous system follow in the order of fatality in the present table, and comprise 115 cases—of which 33 are due to apoplexy and 40 to convulsions. Bronchitis, pneumonia, and other affections of the respiratory organs number only 98 at this season. Note by Mr. Faulkner, registrar of St. Giles-in the-Fields, south sub-district : "The last fortnight has been very fatal to young children in my district. I have registered in this pe riod the deaths of 18 children under 8 years of age, and 10 of whose ages vary from 5 to 14 days. These 10 are classed as follows :-3 were prematurely born, 1 died of debility, and 6 of convulsion!. Three had no medical attendance. STATE OF THE IVEATHER DURING THE PAST WEEK.

(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.) IN RE ABRAHAM SOLOMONS.—JUDGMENT. The bankrupt was a merchant of Basinghall-street. The particulars of the case appeared in our journal of Thursday last. His HONOUR to-day gave judgment, as follows : It is unnecessary for me to recapitulate at any length the facts of the case. The statement made by Mr. Read on the part of the assignees was clear and ex plicit, and in its general tenor was very properly ad mitted by Mr. Lawrence to be a faithful and consi derate delineation of the bankrupt's conduct as a trader. The charges against the bankrupt are reckless trading and improper book-keeping—grave charges against one in the position of Mr. Solomons. Mr. Solomons was not young or inexperienced—he had been in business thirty years ; nor is it pretended that he was betrayed into slips of unwariness, elated with the charms of former continuous prosperity. Unhappily Mr. Solomons had experienced vicissitudes of fortune. He had on two several occasions resorted to the Insolvent Debtors' Court for relief, and on the second occasion an adverse judgment against him affecting the liberty of his person must have emphati cally reminded him of the duty owing to his cre ditors. I do not say that this sentence had not a salutary effect. Indeed, I think the course of Mr. Solomons' career for many years afterwards, and till within a short period of his bankruptcy, tends to show that he profited by it. Re volving the experiments which he had previously made upon life, he seemed to have gained wisdom from his mistakes, and caution from his miscarriages; for looking at the state of his affairs in 1849, there appears at that time a balance in his favour of about 2,000/. I wish I could stop here, or could say that the bankrupt had continued a course creditable to himself. Towards the end of the year 1849, whether actuated by an eager avidity for gain, or by extrava gant hopes, or by what other motives does not appear, he began to extend his purchases, and in the course of six months, from 2,584/. in March, 1850, they amounted in July of the same year to above 11,0001., and during part of August alone (the month in which he became bankrupt) to 2,730/. The goods pur chased were immediately consigned to agents abroad for sale, the bankrupt receiving advances upon the goods consigned to the amount of about half their cost. The principal consignments were made to a person of the name of Hezekiel at Hamburgh, with whom the bankrupt had similar dealings during se veral years before, with some short intermission. With the assistance of the official acsignees I have ex• amined the bankrupt's books and accounts as to the transactions with Hezekiel, and although during the six months to which I have referred goods are con signed to Hezekiel to the amount of 20,0001, no single letter of advice or information of sales made, or of the state of the market, is to be found from Hezekiel to the bankrupt until very shortly before his stop page, and that was as one parcel of goods. It is true that he there made some remonstrances, but it was too late, and the only excuse for this appears to be, that he had similar prior transactions with Heze kiel for several years. These, however, were of much less magnitude. The fact was, he was sending goods to a falling market, the state of which he must or ought to have known, or have taken the ordinary steps to make himself acquainted with. In the re sult a loss is incurred of about 8,0001. Now the bankrupt having little or no available capital, his means of paying for the goods, for which he pledged his credit, depended on the proceeds under the sales on his account. Surely these transactions with He zekiel, amounting to between forty or fifty different shipments, and those of a like kind to Nathan, and some few other persons with whom the bankrupt bad had no previous dealings, exhibit a course of trading: speculating as it were in the dark, with property scarcely to be deemed his own, which calls for severe censure. They appear to me to be characterised by an improvidence differing from dishonesty rather in name than in nature. I have already freed the bank rupt from the imputation test upon him by Mr. Sar good, on the part of Messrs. Cox. The dealing with that firm was so short a time pre viously to the bankruptcy as naturally to excite suspicion, but no proof was adduced of obtaining goods from Messrs. Cox by any artifice or device, which, in my opinion, is essential to the criminality of a fraud. It was urged against the bankrupt that he had duly met his payments on a prior dealing with Messrs. Cox, but I think without reason, for the bankrupt disbursed the money which he had received upon his consignments in the ordinary course of his trade ; and had not Hazekiel ceased to make further remittances there is no ground for believing that he would not have paid Messrs. Cox in due course. I think, therefore, these gentlemen have no just cause of complaint apart from that of the general body of cre ditors. Next as to the book-keeping. " Retrospects to bad reckoners are troublesome things," and so it has proved to Mr. Solomons ; for although he ulti mately succeeded in satisfying the Court that his bankruptcy had not arisen from fraud or extravagant expenditure, nevertheless, by reason of his imperfect book-keeping, and having made entries under ficti tious names and titles, suspicions as to his honesty were naturally roused in the minds of his creditors, and long hung over him. Hence much time wrs consumed, and trouble and expense necessarily in curred, in the investigation of his dealings, mid the bankrupt was obliged to bring over trom Berlin a former clerk and bookkeeper to explain transactions which by his books were inexplicable. One woad as to the appeal made to the Court by Mr. Lawrence on aecount of the bankrupt's family. The sufferings of relatives and friends of offenders ere, to a certain extent, inseparable from commercial as well es from hr d elinquencies; a stron g preventive against the deviations fr om com mercial rectitude. We must rem em b e r, moreover , that legislative provisions have not the individual for their object but the species, and are not made for the convenience of the day but for the regulation of ages. In conclusion I should observe, that the bankrupt has devoted his time and attention since his bankruptcy to th e satisfaction of his assignees, and the hearing of the certificate was delayed by the vacation. Giving the bankrupt the benefit of this, and having carefully considered all the . circu ms t ances o f t h e case w i t h d ue regard to the interests of creditors, I feel bound to suspend the allowance of the bankrupt's certificate for a period of twelve mo n th s f rom t h e 9th day o f August last, that being the earli est d ay on w hi c h t h e applica tion for his cert ificate could have been made ; the cer tificate when granted to be of the third class. Mr. Ij s AANCE applied f or pro t ec ti on . - Th e bank rupt a giving necessary i n f orma ti on t o hi s ass i gnees, and wag liberty w desirable that h e s h ou ld no t b e d epr i ve d o f which would ena bl e hi m to cont i nue to do so. Mr. READ was simply desired by the assignees no t the to ask that protection be withheld. ~,,_ i His HONOUR said, n the absence of that application, protection would be granted for a month, with liberty to apply that it be renewed upon giving notice of the application lewna catjo J nt r oth N e cn sasslgnees. aid he would undertake that the asc,ignees should have due notice of any such appli cation. Protection for one month granted accordingly. IN RE J. WESTLEY. This bankrupt was a bookbinder in Playhouse yard. To-day , ,was fixed for the meeting for choice of assignees. The bankrupt's accounts are in course of preparation by Messrs. Harding, Pullein, and Co., from which it would appear that i b r :;, extensive one, and that the assets a tGh r u e eilf l da ik ihl e ua w irle i - se considerable. M ...

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION--HO USE. Mr. Josiah Malley, of Blackfriars, was brought, in the custody of John Forrester, the officer, before Mr. Alderman Wire upon the bankiug-house of Sir R. upon the charge of having forged bills of exchange up o Co., Lombard-street. Mr. Diuliens, of t h e f i rm o f B us h a n d M u ll ens , G. Glyn and solicitors to the Committee of Bankers for Protection from Felonies and Frauds, appeared for the prosecu tion ; Mr. Humphries attended for the prisoner. Mr. Mullens said he merely wished to give so much evidence at that moment as would justify the remand of the prisoner, who bad been but a couple of hours before apprehended at the Court of Bankruptcy, and that the evidence would affect two bills of ex change which he held in his band. Mr. Owen T. Williams, managing clerk at Glyn's bank, said—l know the prisoner. He kept an ac count with us about two or three years. These two bills of exchange, which are produced by Mr. Mul lens, have been discounted at the prisoner's request. (Here one of the bills, which was for 1131. 155., was handed to the witness.) The drawing and the en dorsement of this bill are, I believe, in the handwri ting of Mr. Josiah IVestley, the prisoner. I have seen letters addressed to the firm and to myself by him, and I have also seen his cheques, and I think have seen him write. The signature Josiah Westley, as the drawer and endorser, are in his writing. (The bill, which was dated the 26th of February, 15 1, purported to be drawn by the prisoner upon Mr. G. Marlar, printer, Leeds, at six months after date, and to be accepted " Geo. Marlar," payable at No. 200, High Holborn, 'London.) Mr. Mullens—Was tb at bill discounted by your house ? Witness—lt was, with others, and the amount was credited to his account. It became due on the 29th of AuguF.l-, and was returned to the house as "not paid." Notice was sent of the nonpayment of the bill. I was out of town at the time, but I have no doubt it w as presented in the usual manner. Cross-examined by Mr. Humphries—The usual course is, that all tbese bills come to my hands. They mostly come to rn,e direct. Ido not know positively whether this bill came to me from the prisoner's hands or not. Mr. William. Thomas, also a clerk in the banking house, said—l keep the discount ledger. This is the book in which the first entries of all bills brought for discount would be made. This bill was brought to me, according to my own memorandum, on the 28th of February, and entered by me on that day to the credit of the account of Josiah Westley. Mr. Richard Mullens, of the firm of Bush and Mul lens, solicitors, of St. Mildred's-court, said—ln con sequence of instructions which I received from the banking-house, I caused inquiries to be made at Leeds for Mr. George Marlar, a printer there, and have learned that no such person is to be found, I ca nnot produce further evidence this day on account of the distance of the place stated to be the address of Mr. George Marlar. Mr. Humphries submitted that there was no evi dence upon which the alderman would be justified in detaining in custody his client, whom Mr. Mullens had chosen to cause to be apprehended in such a hurry. Mr. Mullens said it would soon be shown that there was quite cause enough upon which to ground the proceedings which it had been considered neces sary to adopt. Mr. Humphries—Mr. Westley does not wish by any means to shrink from the investigation of any charge which may be brought against him, and I must say that the course my friend Mr. Mullens has taken is rather hasty. Mr. Mullens--If Mr. Westley could have been found at home he would have been taken long ago. If the prisoner be remanded I shall be able to show that there is no such person as George Marlar, printer, at Leeds. Mr.:Humphries—l "submit that what Mr. Mullens says is not sufficient, combined with the statements made by the other witnesses who have been examined, to justify a remand. If such evidence were brought forward upon an application for a warrant to appre hend a party charged with forgery:l entertain no doubt whatever that the alderman on the bench would refuse to grant it upon such flimsy materials; and if he would refuse to grant a warrant he would certainly feel a strong objection to detain a person on such tes timony. Alderman WIRE—Has Mr. Mullens anything fur ther to state ? Mr. Mullens—Nothing further than this—that I can prove that there is no such person as George Marlar, a printer, at Leeds ; that the bill is overdue; and that there are other bills which can be produced, and which are not more substantial. Mr. Humphries repeated that there Wrg no ground for detaining his client in custody, and said that Mr. Westley would be forthcoming on any day to answer to any charge. The prisoner—Certainly. I declare that I was not absent from home at all. Alderman WIRE—I think there is a very important difference between the case of a remand and that of granting a warrant under circumstances of this kind. I might not upon such evidence grant a warrant, but the parties principally interested have brought the prisoner before me, and Mr. Mullens has sworn that, if time be given, he has no doubt that he will be able to produce legal evidence in proof of the correctness of the accusation. If the charge prove groundless, the prisoner will be sure to get reparation. Mr. Humphries—Those who have given my client into custody are now liable elsewhere for that act ; but they will not b., liable after this day, for if the prisoner be remanded upon the insufficient statements made, the act is the magistrate's. I therefore return to what I before observed, that if there is not suffi cient evidence to justify the issue of a warrant, there is not sufficient evidence to sanction the detention of my client. Alderman WIRE —His right of action will not be prejudiced by the remand, and he would not in such a case be likely to substitute the magistrate for the accusers. The remand would, in fact, operate as an aggravation of damages. The charge is one of so grave a nature that I cannot help remanding the pri soner. Mr. Humphries—We hope you will not refuse to take bail. We are ready to give bail to any amount. Mr. Mullens—l shall leave the question of bail with the Alderman altogether. Alderman WIRE—I cannot take bail in such a case. Mr. Humphries—Why the case is the most flimsy imaginable. Air. Alullens—l hope it may prove so for the pri soner's sake. Ido not consider it necessary to say any more at present; but I shall state further facts upon a future occasion. Ido not oppose the taking of bail, if the prisoner can produce good securities that he will meet the heavy charges which I shall bring against him. The prisoner was then remanded. Mackay, the revenue officer, who was on Tuesday brought before Sir Robert W. Carden, upon the charge of having stolen money in the brig Anna, in which he was engaged in the performance of his duty, was put to the bar for final examination. Sir Robert Carden had sent a messenger to the Board of Customs to represent the facts, and his im pression was that in so serious a ergo the board should bt the prosecutors, to sustain the character of the establishment. Yesterday Mr. Beverley, of the office of the Solici tor to the Customs, waited upon the Alderman, and stated that the hoard hesitated to prosecute upon prin ciple, as the robbery was a private robbery. lie, however, stated that the board would, upon so strong a representation, reconsider the subject, and commu nicate with the Alderman upon it. in the meantime, however, it was found, upon exa mination of the crew (Greeks) of the Anna, that the detention of witnesses in this country would cause great loss and inconvenience to the owners, and all who had to do with the vessel, which was bound to sail in a few days ; and Alderman WIRE summarily convicted the prisoner, and sentenced him to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. GUILDHALL. A young woman, of the name of Mary Ann Craig, was placed at the bar before Alderman Lawrence, charged with attempting to commit suicide by throw ing herself from the parapet of Blackfriars-bridge. Mr. Percy Cole, of No. 42, Tottenham•street, said, he was returning home from the Victoria Theatre shortly after twelve o'clock at night, when he ob served the prisoner hanging partially over the parapet of one of the recesses. A man had hold of her clothes, and appeared to be pushing her over, and when witness came up the fellow let go her clothes, and witness, seeing her heels suddenly rise upper most, sprang forward and seized one of her legs just above the ankle, that being the only part of her per son within reach, and drew her back with great diffi culty. The man stood by apparently unconcerned, and when witness requested his assistance he merely said, " Oh! she is only a drunken woman ; it is no matter; let her go ;" and almost immediately after whispered to the witness his intention of fetching a policeman, but he never returned. Ile denied all knowledge of the prisoner, but at the station she said the man was her husband. Alderman LAWRENCE said, be should like to know a little more of the prisoner and the man who so un ceremoniously left her to her fate, and for that pur pose he would remand the case till to-morrow (this day). William Webster, cab-driver, 3,528, was sum moned for misbehaviour by demanding 4s. for the hire of a hackney carri age (N o . 2,562) for a time not exceeding two hours, by not wearing his badge con spicuously, and by using insulting and threatening language and gestures to the complainant, in Fleet street. Mr. Thomas Greenhill, of Temple House, East Ham, stated that he engaged the defendant and his cab from about two o'clock in the afternoon until four o'clock. He asked the defendant what was his fare, and he boldly demanded 43. Complainant then asked him if he charged by time or distance ? De fendant said "by time," and required 2s. per hour. Complainant said the demand was extortionate, as the correct fare was only Is. 4d. per hour, at which rate he paid him. Defendant then commenced abusing complainant, upon which he desired him to show his badge, as he intended to summon him. The badge being concealed under his coat, he tried to get a view of it, but was not successful. Defendant threatened to strike complainant if he touched him, and made use of various insulting gestures. Alderman LAWBENCH said defendant had been guilty of great impropriety, and he would therefore fine him 10s. for demanding more than his fare and using abusive language, and 23. 61 for not wearing his badge conspicuously, which, in addition to the costs, amounted to 1.55., which was paid. BO ll' -STRE ET. Yesterday John Rogers, conductor of a Bleckwall omnibus plying to and from the Exhibition, and wearing badge 2,074, appeared before Mr. enry upon two distinct summonses, in which he was charged with exacting more than his legal fare, and using abusive and most disgusting language to a female. It appeared from the statement of Mrs. Margaret Clifton, a lady residing with her family in Brompton, that on the evening of Wednesday last she was wait ing with several others at the corner of Sloane street for an omnibus, and hearing the defendant call out " 41 to the 13tink," elle got into the vehicle, de siring that he would let her down at the corner of , Southampton-street in th e St ran d. Sh ort l y a f ter they proceeded on the journey, the vehicle containing.: one passenger more than sh ou ld b e a ll owe d i ns id e, and on arriving at her destination she handed him a four penny piece, which he declined to take, saying that Gd. was his fare, and on her declining to accede to his terms he applied several disgusting epithets towards her. The circumstances having attracted the atten tion of 45 F, in accordance with his advice she con sented to pay the defendant Gd. and took his number. The constable having corroborated the statement of the complainant as to the overcharge, said that a shopkeeper in the Strand, in whose hearing the scan dalous language was used opposite his door, informed him that he would gladly attend to give evidence, but that he was compelled to be present at that moment in the City on bnsiness. The defendant denied using the language imputed to him ; and as regarded the fare, the amount was legibly painted on the door. A grocer's assistant, out of employ, said that, although he was in the omnibus, he heard no abusive language made use of by the defendant. Mrs. Clifton assured the Court there was no male passenger in the omnibus during her journey ; and the young man being recalled, declared he had no re collection of the complainant, and the only reason he could assign for coming forward to give such evidence was, that he had given his address at the time in question, and could not tell why the defendant made such a request. Mr. HENRY said a most flagrant case had been made out against the defendant, for which a severe punishment should be inflicted; and in order to deter other conductors from acting in such a disgraceful manner in future, the defendant should be committed for one month to hard labour, and, further, his licence should be suspended for two months. MARLBOROUGH-,STREET. William Fisher, a person of gentlemanly appear ance, was charged with stealing a cake of chocolate from the Great Exhibition. Police-constable Long, 174 G, said he saw the prisoner in the French department of the Exhibition about three o'clock that afternoon. The prisoner was apparently watching him, for as soon as witness pre tended to turn away the prisoner took the cake of chocolate and put it into his pocket. Witness followed him, and took him into custody. The prisoner begged earnestly to be allowed to be released, saying he was a gentleman, and if the matter was pressed it would be his ruin. Witness found a gold watch and a gold eye-glass in his posseFsion. The prisoner said he had no idea of committing a theft when he took the cake of chocolate. He said that the chocolate was described as something novel, and being curious to taste it, he took up a cake and placed it in his pocket. It was only curiosity that in duced him to take the article. It was hardly likely from his circumstances and station that he should have contemplated a theft, especially when articles of real value were equally accessible. Mr. HARDWICK asked the prisoner what he was ? The prisoner said he was a German. He was a com mission agent, and he resided in Drury-court, St. Mary-axe. MI% HARDWICK said it was certainly very incon siderate on the part of the prisoner to give way to his, propensity for tastin g th e property o f other persongf under such circumstances as might lead to the infer ence that robbery was contemplated. As the article taken was of trifling value, not more than a shilling, he would take a lenient view of the case, and instead of sending it to a jury, inflic t a fine of 403. The money was paid. Patrick Manning was charged with stealing a gold watch and chain under these circumstances : Mr. Walter Brettell, stationer, No. 20, New Bond street, said he was accidentally looking out of the win dow yesterday afternoon. when he saw the prisoner with a case of razors come out of Mrs. Faire's house, which was opposite, and where some repairs were being done. Witness saw the prisoner go up the ladder be fore the house and get into the first-floor window. Suspecting something wrong was intended, he went over to Mrs. Faire's house, and seeing the prisoner with a watch-guard hanging out of his pocket, he asked him where he got it from ? The prisoner began to cry, and then witness gave him into custody. Mr. Leonard Gwyn said he lodged at No. 139, New Bond-street. The gold watch and case of razors were his property. They were safe in a drawer in his dressing-room when he went out that morning. The prisoner made no defence, and was fully com mitted. LAMBETH. Mr. Inspector Field, of the detective force, attended before Mr. Norton, and requested his worship's indul gence while he offered a few words of explanation in reference to the discharge of two of the brothers of the Misses Eiclie from the Exhibition. Mr. Field then proceeded to state that it would be in his worship's recollection, as the examination had taken place before him, that in the summer of 1850 he had in custody at this court two young men, named William and Henry Eicke, the former on a charge of defrauding the South-Western Railway Company of 2,0001., by means of a forged bond, and the latter with being an accessary, and enabling his brother to accomplish the fraud. From this latter offence, how ever, after several remands, Henry was discharged, and 'William having been tried at the Old Bailey, was found guilty and transported. From this period, until some time after the opening of the Exhibition, he (Mr. Field) had lost sight of Henry Eicke, but while attending at the Crystal Palace one day he was questioned by a superintendent of police, and asked if he knew anything respecting the character of that person. He replied, as he was bound to do, that he did, that he had had him in custody for felony in assist ing his brother William to obtain 2,0001. on a forged document, that he had introduced his brother to a banker in a false name, namely, that of Joh❑ Wind sor, and by his opening an account at the banker's in that name enabled him to pass and procure cash for the forged bond. In saying thus much, he had only done that which his duty imperatively required. Yet he was sorry to observe some severe strictures on his conduct in the daily papers, and in one particularly a letter which charged him with going out of his way to commit an act of positive cruelty in getting discharged from their situations two young men whose only crime was that of having a brother who happened to be in " trouble." Miss Ellen Eicke, who with her sister Flora was present, here said that without wishing in the slightest degree to justify the conduct of her brother Henry yet, his situation was one of a mere check-taker, where he could not have done wrong if so inclined, and not only was he discharged from his employment, but her brother Octavius a4o. Their wages of 30s. a week each they regularly carried home to their mother, and this in fact being the only means of sub sistence, she might say, of the family, they felt their dismissal most keenly. Mr. Field observed that be knew nothing and seid nothing about the brother Octavius, but what he had said of Henry he was bound to state. Had he not done so, and disclosed the whole truth in reference to his knowledge of him, he would be liable to a dismissal from his situation. Mr. NORTON remarked that no person could doubt the truth of the inspector's observations, that it was his duty to inform his superior officer, when ques tioned on the subject, of all ho knew respecting the character of the man, and as it was indispensable in such a place as the Exhibition, where property to an incalculable amount was deposited, to have persons of good character employed as servants, he did not won der at the discharge of Henry Eicke. He also sup posed his brother had been discharged on his (Henry's) account. In reply to the questions of the Magistrate,' Mr. Field said that ho had been informed by a dis tinguished barrister that the father of the Misses Eicke had at one time held a high position in his pt.( fession as an attorney, but since then had been sub jected to various vicissitudes. As respected his daugh ters, he (Mr. Field) had not heard the slightest re flection, and it was his opinion when he took their brothers into custody that they were strangers to their offence. After the conviction of the brother William a number of workmen who had been previously em ployed by him in a chymical factory at Battersea ap plied to the Commissioners of Police for some relief, stating that they had not been paid their wages for some time, and they thought there was some fund to pay them. Mr. NORTON—What became of the produce of the 2,000/. bond—had it all been spent ? Mr. Field—No, Sir. I understood that there was about 5001. lodged in a banking- holm, but what be came of it I don't know. I understand, h owever , th a t the father of William Eicke had applied for it. Miss Eicke—l don't believe he has, and I am pretty certain he has not got it, nor has any of the family ; so that if such a sum had been in the bank it is there still. Mr. NORTON—Should this sum of 5001. be found forthcoming, and the South-Western Railway Com pany kindly permitted it to be applied to the necessi ties of tho younger branches of this unfortunate family, it would be a great blessing to them. I am very happy to find that the inquiry, so far as it has gone, has been most satisfactory as regards the character of the daughters, and that their conduct through the most trying circumstances has been un exceptionable. The public have come forward most benevolently on their behalf, and I was anxious to make the fullest inquiries into the case before dis posing of any of their subscriptions. Those inquiries are not yet completed, but in the interim I shall direct to be handed to you, _Miss Eicke, such a svm as will be necessary for your present use. Both the Misses Eicke expr- - scd their gratitude, and said it was truly distressing to them in coming before the public under such peculiar circumstances to have the charact- of their frther and brothers reflected on, while many of their acts were the results of misfortune, and those of their brothers. DU , Fitid 4 15 9 thPked the magistmtv fog the Qv. portunity he had afforded him to explain his coro,i in the matter, and said that for the 23 years 11e 135 1 been in the force the pr esen t was th e first time be l l ° . been charged w ith wan t on l y go i ng out o f his 1 , 0) injure any one. Mr. NonToN, replied that by all who kne vi ',,t Field such a charge could not b e f o r one 1 11 °T o p entertained, and it was qu it e c l ear t h a t b e had no more than his duty. 10C t SHIP NEWS.
