The following memorial has been addressed by the inhabitants of North Wales to his Majesty the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire : TO HIS MAJESTY THE SULTAN OF THE OTTOMAN ____ EMPIRE. Actuated by a sentiment of profound respect for your Majesty, we beg to express our anxious wish that those exiles of the Hun gar i an an d P o li s h nations w h o still remain in Turkey may be restored to freedom at the period fixed for their liberation in September next. In presuming to convey to your Majesty this ex pression of our hopes, we are influenced alike by the interest we feel in the fate of the illustrious Kossuth and his companions, and by the desire which we entertain, as British subjects, to see strengthened the bonds of alliance and friendship between our country and the empire of which your Majesty _is the Sove reign. Our religion has taught us to value deeds of good ness and generosity above hollow, though ostentatious, professions. We have beheld the avowed defenders of the faith of Christ violate all the dictates of justice and mercy. We have turned with abhorrence from the scaffolds of Austria and Russia, and from the dungeons of Naples, to convey this humble: but heartfelt expression of our goodwill to a Monarch whose acts are those of the good Samaritan of old—to the only Sovereign on the Continent of Europe who does not profess—to the only European Sove reign who has faithfully and fearlessly fulfilled the injunctions of Christianity. The stability and happiness of the Turkish e mpire are essential to our own prosperity and peace, and we trust that those sentiments of goodwill which have been excited in every British breast to wards the protector of Kossuzu may be confirmed by events towards his liberator. In this free country the policy of its rulers, and the decision of peace or war, is dependent on the nationa l will, and is go verned by public opinion. We sincerely trust that the defender of the exile and the stranger from a Christian land, will maintain the confidence and respect, not only of the free na tions of the West, and of the oppressed inhabitants of Hungary, of Poland, :and of It a l y , b ut a l so o f hi s ow n Christian subjects, and w e ar d ent l y h ope t h at the dominions of your Majesty, so highly favoured by nature, may, under your beneficent sway, be blessed by the enlightened reforms you contemplate, d become again, as they were of old, the seat of literature, of art, and of civilization. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, SEPT. 12.—The following is the text of the treaty between Prussia and Hanover, by which the latter is admitted prospectively into the territory of the Zollverein : TREATY BETWEEN HIS MAJESTY THE KING OF PRUSSIA. AND HIS MAJESTY THE KING OF HANOVER, RELATING TO A UNION OF THE STEUERVEREIN WITH THE ZOLLVEREIN. " His Majesty the King of Prussia and his Majesty the King of Hanover, regarding a mutual free com mercial intercourse between their respective states and the widest possible extension of such intercourse with the neighbouring German States as in a high degree beneficial to the welfare of their subjects, and as an essential progress of a general freedom of trade and commerce in the interior of Germany, and wishing to effect this object by an agreement having as much consideration as possible to the existing differences of the circumstances of both countries, have empowered the following persons to conclude sueh a treaty : "On the part of his Majesty the King of Prussia, the President of the Cabinet and Minis ter of Forei g n Affairs, Baron von Mant eu ff e l ; th e Minister of Commerce and Public Works, M. von der Heydt ; and the Minister of Finance M. von Bo delschwingh. "On the part of his Majesty the King of Hanover, the President of the Cabinet and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baron von Munchhausen ; and the Minister of Finance, Baron von Hammerstein. " The above-named, after the exchange and mutual recognition of their credentials, reserving the ratifi cation of the respective Sovereigns, have agreed on the following conditions : "Art. 1. From the Ist of January, 1854, there shall be between Prussia and the States then allied with her in the Zollverein, on the one part, and Hanover with the States of the Steuer-verein which at that date shall have assented to this treaty, on the other part, a free commercial intercourse with each other, an as • similated legislation with regard to import, export, and transit duties, as well as to the taxation cf home produced beet-root sugar, and the mutual partition of the amount raised from such duties and taxation. " The bases of this union are the principles and regulations of the Zollverein, under the following reservations and modifications : " Art. 2. The same amount of duty shall be raised in Hanover on inland grown tobacco and wine as these articles pay in Prussia and the States com mercially allied with Prussia. In consequence of this condition there is to be a free traffic in all these States in wine, midst, tobacco (raw and manufac tured). If these products are exported to any State not belonging to the Zollverein, they shall pay the same duties as they are now subjected to in Prussia, the product to be carried to the common account. " Art. 3. The tax on the distillation of brandy shall be raised in Hanover to the same amount as that levied in Prussia and the States commercially allied with her. " The drawback on exportation for home produced brandy shall be on each side equalized ; is shall be fixed at a rate not in any case to exceed the amount of duty on the distillation. " Art. 4. With respect to the duty on beer, Ha nover is not to be limited, notwithstanding its obliga tion not to exceed the maximum duty of 1i tbaltr Prussian per 120 quarts, agreed on between the States of the Zollverein. " Art. 5. As, according to the distinct declaration of the Hanoverian Government, there are insur mountable difficulties in the way of the State under taking and limiting the sale of salt, en Bros, on its own account, as is the practice in the other States of the Zollverein, or of raising the tax on that article by the present treaty ; Hanover, in order to prevent the smuggling of salt into the neighbouring States of the Union, without impeding the abolition of the strict frontier guard effected by this Union, will undertake to impose a severe penalty on the prohibited intro duction of salt into the neighbouring States, and to prevent it by other suitable means ; such penalties to supersede the agreement in Art. 10 of its treaty with the Zollverein. "Art. 6. Instead of the stipulation in Art. 13 of its treaty with the Zollverein, with respect to the amount of the toll levied on the highways and roads of Hanover, it only undertakes the obligation not to increase its present rates. " Art. 7. With respect to the Hanoverian river tolls and navigation dues, Art. 15 of the treaty with the Zollverein remains in force. " Art. 8. The equality of rights secured to the subjects of both States by the 15th and 19th Articles of the treaty of Hanover with the Zollverein, with respect to the navigation of seas and rivers, is ex tended to the mutual passage of the ships of both con tracting States through the rivers of the interior, without any higher dues being levied for vessel or cargo than those paid by the subjects of each State respectively. "Art. 9. Both contracting parties will, in their principal sea-ports, permit the establishment of depots for goods locally in connexion with the harbours, in order that within these depots such a Customs inspec tion may be exercised as may be sufficient to prevent smuggling into the interior, and that the storing, un packing, and repacking of the merchandise may be effected without interruption, and that the delivery of goods for import and transit shall only be made in the quantities made up for it. The parties will agree on co mmon regulation s for these establishments. "Art. 10. Hanover is at liberty to decrease or lighten the strictness of its frontier regulations, if rendered necessary from local necessities, and unat tended with prejudice to the dues levied. ~ A r t. 11. In order to compensate for the consider ably greater consumption of highlyaaadwailrltipclreos., which has existed in Hanover , and bably continue to exist, as well as for the higher re venue which Hanover has derived hitherto from the import, export, and transit dues, and which may be further increased by the approach to the scale of duties of therZollverein, the following conditions have been 't VVZ F . , v agreed-on : t' 4 ..,_,,, " When the amount of th e revenue from the ins. i4= port, exPokt, and transit duties, after the deductions ..., ./,. :,..:,,,, ..., for repayatints of su ms un d u l y l ev i e d, an d those occa 'e-':,‘) e atoned by: mutually d ecrease d it ems i n the scale of v `', ' dttOes 840 /drawbacks, shall have been fixed, and the , - "Th, illthat amount due to Hanover, according to c.: S. 1 t~:i: ,\ c ; ! ~j U. THE SUN, the proportion of its population to the collective popu lation of the Union, shall have been ascertained, then that share or portion shall be increased for Hanover by three-fourths ; but, with respect to the import duties and tax on beet-root sugar, the increase is not to exceed 20 silver groschen (26.) per head of the population in any one year. The sum thus arising will form the share of Hanover in the produce of the duties that fall to the common account. " The sharing of the general transit dues will be regulated in the same manner. " The portion of the expense of the Administration to be borne by Hanover will be calculated according to the proportion of the population of Hanover to that of the collective population of the Union. " Art. 12. As to the distribution of the produce of the export and transit duties, Hanover will belong to the western division of the Union. " Art. 13. The wares and goods that may be within the State of Hanover when it enters the Union (1854), shall not be subjected to any after tax for the general account. " Art. 14. This treaty is to be in operation from Ist of January, 1854, till 81st of December, 1865. But if before the last-named date a Customs' Union of all the German States shall have been effected, the present treaty expires from the time the said Union comes into existence. " Art. 15. The ratifications of the present treaty are to be exchanged withiu . , at the latest, four weeks. " OTTO VON MANTISII/FEL. " AUG. VON DER HEYI3T. " VON BODELSCRWINGLI. " A. VON MIINCIIRAUSEN. " W. TON HAMMERsTEIN. " Signed and sealed at Berlin, Sept. 7,1851." To the above treaty are added 14 separate articles, the substance of which is subjoined : " 1. The present treaty i s extended to the Go vernment of Brunswick, its assent to it being as sumed. " The Hanoverian harbour of Geestemunde is ex cluded from the territory of Zollverein till the harbour of Bremen is incorporated with it. The exclusion of the islands belonging to Hanover is subjected to further negotiations. " 2. Each party reserves the power of increasing the transit duties on beer and brandy according to the scale of the Zollverein. " As to the taxes and transport duties on beer and brandy for the county of Hohnstein and the district of Elbingerode, the present conditions with Prussia shall continue to exist. “3. nanover imposes a penalty of 10 thalers per cwt. on the exportation of salt into the neighbouring territories; the sale of salt to subjects of such terri tories is prohibited, and the police are bound to pre vent such sale or exportation.! " The police of the neighbouring states have in this respect the same powers as that of the state of Hanover. "In every Hanoverian salt-work a close account is to be kept, not only of the quantity taxed, but of the quantity sold, the purchasers and place purchased for to be entered. " A. Fixes the conditions on which salt may be sold in the border districts. 201bs. per year is al lowed as the calculation for the consumption of each inhabitant yearly, exclusive of salt for medical pur poses, or what has been rendered useless for con sumption. " B. Specifies these districts by name. The contracting parties agree to establish common regulations in future for levying the tolls on the Weser, and will enter into negotiations for their re duction or suspension, provided it can be effected without prejudice to the frontier duties. An agree ment on this point as being based on special circum stances is not to be regarded as binding for other rivers. " 5. On the northern frontier of Hanover from Harburg to Leer, the following duties are to be levied : " Foals under one year ... i thaler per head " Lean oxen for feeding .. 2f ~ " Cows .. .. ... 1 f ~ " Heifers ... ... ... 1 " Hanover retains by another clause of this article the right to import iron rails for the railways of the State not yet complete, free of duty. "6. Hanoverian iron and metals sent to Hamburgb, Bremen, and Geestemunde, and re-imported into the territory of the Union, may enter free of duty, the identity of the wares being proved. Grain exported may also be re-imported on the same conditions within three months. "7. Goods imported into the depots of the Hano verian harbours, in the Elbe or the Weser, without otherwise touching the territory of the Zollverein, may be re-exported by water without payment of transit dues. " The remainder of the article specifies the roads between Bremen, Harburg, and Leer, on which it is permitted to Hanover to levy the rate of transit toll allowed by its present treaty with the Zollverein. "S. In so far as the harbour of Harburg cannot continue to exist under the assent of both the con- tracting parties, a deptat for merchandise, according to the provisions of Article 9, shall be erected there. " Exceptions from the regulations of the Zollverein which may be made for facilitating the traffic between Altona or Hamburgh and the Zollverein, before the Ist of January, 1854, Hanover may adopt for the traffic through Harburg. " The town of Emden is secured the privileges guaranteed it by the treaty of Vienna of the 9th of June, 1815, if it does not prefer being made a depot under the present treaties to the enjoyment of such privileges. "On both sides it is understood that the commer cial connexion of East Friesland with the interior of the Union is to be facilitated as much as possible consistent with security for the amount of the Union revenue. " 10. The retiring pensions of the officers of the Customs displaced by the Union of the Zollverein with the Steuerverein, will be placed to the collective account of the Union. Only the actually paid amount of the pensions is to be brought to that ac count. The whole sum is not to exceed the amount fixed by the treaties of 1835 and 1841. "Hanover is not to bear any part of the pensions paid in consequence of former regulations of the Zoll verein. " 11. Hanover undertakes to raise the import duties on the articles specified in the Appendix, to the scale therein fixed, at latest by the Ist of March, 1853. (This appendix has not been given.) " 12. Prussia undertakes to procure by mediation the assent of those States to the present treaty, with which it has to renew the treaty of the Zollverein. Hanover will invite Oldenburg and Schaumburg- Lippe to accede to this treaty, and to a simultaneous understanding for a common Customs administration ; also to an agreement to the measures taken to prevent the smuggling of salt into the neighbouring States. " The conditions of articles 8 and 11, and those of the separate articles 5 and 7, stipulated for Hanover, are also secured for the duchy of Oldenburg and the principality of Schaumburg-Lippe, in case they accede to this treaty. " 13. Prussia will immediately commence negotia tions with the rest of the States of the Zollverein for the renewal of the existing treaties, and take the ne cessary measures to facilitate those negotiations. Hanover will take part with Prussia in those negotia tions with an equality of vote. " 14. In the negotiations specified in the last article Prussia and Hanover agree to reduce the scale of im port duties to the following sums : "1. On French Brandy ... 8 thalers the centuer. Coffee •• 5 ?I tf Syrup Leaf tobacco .. 4 Tea 8 „ Wine in casks 6 ~ "2. The tax on beet-root is to be raised to such a proportion to the import duty on foreign sugar and syrup, that the same revenue raised in the Zollverein on native and foreign sugar for the three years from 1847 to 1849, per head of the population, is to be at least maintained. " 3. The abatement to wine merchants to be re duced to a just proportion. "4. A fair drawback is to be allowed to the builders of sea ships, with regard to the present reduction of duties on the metals used in ship building; the draw back to be charged to the common account of the Union. "5. The export duty on wool is reduced to one third of a thaler per centuer. " An u n d ers t an di ng will be come to on oth e r re ductions f o o f re t g h oin eta g riff that may be consistent with the security of the revenue. , ,T he at the same time w i s 4 e h p a t r h a e t e a a r r t t i ic cl l e e s s o a f r t e he t o treaty be ra t con i fi e d . eluded and signed this day.

The Corriere Mercantile, of Genoa, of the 10th inst., contains the following :—" i The Austrian journals have announced in a laconic manner that the Em peror intended to visit the Italian provinces. Well informed correspondents add that after the military manceuvres, in the vicinity of Verona, the Emperor would pass and show himself twice in Milan, on his way to the mar ceuvres on the Somme, and on his return. His Majesty will remain at Monza until the sth of October. The municipality of Milan will be summoned thither to invite the Em peror to enter Milan. The list of the feasts to be given h as b een not ifi e d to t h e mun i c i pa li ty, and t h e proclamati ons o f th e Di rec ti on o f P u bli c O r d er, enjoi n i ng the citizens to illuminate their houses, &c., are already composed. In the meantime we see assembled at Milan all the princes who form the Planetary system of Austria, and for whom it 15 of LONDON, the highest importance to draw closer the ties of the Austro-Italian League—that is, the two Dukes of Parma and Modem, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, and the King of Naples. Pius IX. will be represented either by Cardinal Altieri, Envoy at Vienna, who, it is said, will accompany the Emperor in Italy, or by another Cardinal appointed for the purpose. We shall also have the King of Wirtemberg, and it is believed, the King of Bavaria, and a few other petty German Princes. The King of Naples will lodge in the Palace of the Viceroy; the Grand Duke of Tuscany, in the Palace Arcbiato ; the Duke of Modena, in the Palace Belgioro ; and the Duke of Parma, in the Palace Litta Modignani. It is generally believed that the King of Naples will come by sea to Leghorn. Others say that he will pro ceed first to Rome to salute his former guest, now a prisoner in the hands of the French, and others that he will sail for Venice in a war steamer, and thence join the Emperor at Verona. It is certain the client of the Macfarlanes and Gordons will not take the shortest road by crossing the Liguro- Pied montese territory. As for the object of the con ferences, it is easy to imagine that the main point will be to strengthen the bonds that unite them in the s ame political system, and to make a grand official de monstration against England and the system :she patronises, particularly since they vainly attempted to obtain the evacuation of Rome by the French. The arrival of King Victor Emmanuel at Genoa, and the reception he has experienced from the people of that city, very fortunately preceded the Congress of Milan, where no adhesions or acts of vassalage will be re ceived from this part of Italy."

GLASGOW, FRIDAY MORNING.—About twelve o'clock yesterday the second division of the down train from London to the North, which left about nine o'clock on Wednesday evening, met with an ac cident at Kirtlebridge, near Gretna, about 17 miles from Carlisle ; but, happily, the consequences are of a trifling nature. It appears that a train of empty trucks had come from Beattock towards Carlisle, and, not expecting the London train at the time, was crossing the line for the purpose of attaching an additional number of empty waggons from the Kirtlebridge siding, when the passenger train, with sixteen carriages, hove in sight. The engine of the latter was immediately reversed, and every effort made to avoid a collision, but the momentum had not been sufficiently overcome when the two engines came into contact. The injury sustained consists of a lady being hurt on the forehead from the concussion, and the buffer of the trucks' engine being knocked off. The principal effect was to delay the train a few hours, from the tender being thrown off the line, but the Glasgow division arrived here in safety last night. That blame rests somewhere, and that the consequences might have been (serious, is unques tioned; but we have no doubt that the case will be fully investigated. The passenger train was an excursion one, returning from the Exhibition, and the utmost alarm was ex hibited for some time by its non-appearance at the appointed hour. The escape altogether is a miraculous one. As the one engine stood quite across the line, the conEquences must have been frightful had there not been sufficient time to arrest the motion of the other. (ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.) The number of passengers in -the train at the time of the accident is believed to have been about 200. The rate of speed before the trucks train was discovered was about thirty miles an hour. Beyond the con tinued blowing of the whistle few of the passengers noticed anything out of due course until the collision took place, when the heads of the people were violently knocked against the backs of the carriages and into each others' faces. Most of the injuries sustained were consequently cuts or contusions on the head and face, from which, and from the sudden alarm, many were rendered temporarily insensible; but they all speedily recovered to express their thankfulness at their miraculous escape. In all, it is believed, that from thirty to forty persons have been hurt, but almost all of them slightly—at least such is the case with those belonging to Glasgow. The engineer and stoker jumped off the passenger train when they saw that a collision was inevitable; but they had pre viously turned off the steam and applied the breaks with all their power. Those in charge of the empty train became completely paralysed when they saw the passenger train advancing on the same line of rails, and did nothing to avert the collision. Possibly by this time it was out of their power to make any effectual effort. Fortunately none of the passenger carriages were thrown off the line. All the passen gers agree in stating that a more reckless collision— in broad daylight, too, and with a train which was known to be on its way—or a more merciful escape, has never occurred. What the railway officials can say for themselves remains to be seen.—Morning Paper. MANAGEMENT OF THE WOODS AND FORESTS.-011 the 10th of next month the new Act, alluded to by her Ma jesty on the prorogation of Parliament, for the better ma nagement of the Woods and Forests, will come into force. The object of the new law is to separate the management of the Woods and Forests from the direction of her Majesty's Works and Public Buildings, and to make better provision for the management of the same. From the commencement of the Act, the First Commissioner of the Woods, &c., is to be the First Commissioner of the Public Works and Build ings, with a salary not exceeding 2,0001. a year, and he may be a Member of the House of Commons. The other Com missioners of the Woods and Forests are to continue to hold their offices, and their salaries are to be provided for by Par liament, but they are not eligible to a seat in the House of Commons. The other officers to continue in their situation& Officers may be appointed to assist in the Public Works and Buildings. The management of all the royal parks is to vest in the Commissioner of Works, and not, as heretofore, in the Commissioners of the Woods and Forests. Perlis- ment will also have to provide for the expenses relating to the department of the Public Works, as well as in the ma. nagement of the Woods and Forests, which latter depart ment was paid out of the revenues of the Crown possessions. After the commencement of the Act the First Commissioner of Public Works is to be an Inclosure Commissioner, a Com missioner of Greenwich Hospital, and a Commissioner for carrying into execution the Acts relating to Highland roads and bridges, a Commissioner for building new churches, and the President of the Board of Health. E X TRAORDINARY PRODUCTIO N OF A S EEDLING Porexo.—ln the spring of last year a workman in the em ploy of Messrs. Addiscott and Son, nurseryman, St. Thomas, observed a seedling potato grow up. He took it up an d t h en replanted it, putting fresh soil round the st a lk, till th e autumn, when the produce from this single istalk amounted to 165 potatoes. In the spring of the present year Mr. H. Adiscott planted between 130 and 140 of the largest of these potatoes (whole) in the nursery, and on Friday last he dug them, when he found the produce amounted to 3,332, besides wastage, being an average of about 24 potatoes to each stalk. Any person interested in the growth of potatoes can see them at the Nursery by application. They are very early pota toes, and free from disease.— Western Times. THE TEMPLE CHURCH AND MIDDLE TEMPLE HALL.— About 2,500 persons are now visiting every week these two remarkable edifices. By the kindness of the benchers of the Temple the admittance is free, and without orders. Goldsmith Was buried in the paved court, a yard, north of the church. MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1851. MOORS AND FORESTS. On the Coignafearn moors, from the 1213 of August to the Ist September, Mr. Elwes, Major Hall, Mr. Lawson, and Mr. Scratton have shot 640 brace of grouse and a red deer. In the same number of days Mr. Bruce of Kennet and A. Houblon, Esq., have bagged at Cromdale 782 head of grouse, 62 black game, 10 wild-ducks, 14 snipe, and 31 hares. Sir Charles Burton, Bart., Mr. Littledale, and Mr. Nicholson have bagged at Upper Killin, from the 12th of August till the 3d September, 661 brace of grouse and 133 hares. Mr. North and friends, at Dallas, in twelve days, shot 400 brace. On the Kirdel moors, J. Marsland, Esq., and friends had shot, up to the 4th Sept., 1,543 head of game, of which 737 were grouse. Up to the 23 Sept., Mr. Crawford and party, at Dalnaspidal, bagged 3,065 head of grouse ; to the same date Mr. Finnie and party had shot 1,160 brace of grouse. Sir H. Wilmot and party, at Carr- Bridge, had killed, on Ist September over 1,000 brace of grouse, and 50 brace black-game, besides roe, hares, and wild-fowl. Three guns first week, four guns since. The sport in the deer forests has been good; number of beautiful heads have been added to former colletions. One of the finest was shot on the sth inst., at Strathconon, by J. M. Balfour, Esq. The deer weighed, when cleaned, 19 stone; the head is the best of the season ; the length of each horn is 30 in ches, the span inside of the horns 30 inches, and the thickness of each, 7,-t inches. Lord Edward ThYnne, who is visiting the Earl of Malmesbury at Achnacarry, when out deer-stalking in Gulrain, on the Ist inst., shot a magnificent golden eagle, while soaring over his head at fully a hundred yards high. His Lordship used a rifle. The eagle measured six feet and a half from tip to tip of the wings, and weighed eight and a half pounds. This probably the only instance of an eagle having been killed flying with a single ball. It was a shot worthy of Hawkeye.—lnverness CouJier. MARYLEBOIVE Co qiv TY CO URT—Sept. 13, HARRISON V. DAVEY. Mr. WONTNER, who appeared for the plaintiff, said his client sought to recover 351., under circum stances of a very afflicting nature. The plaintiff for merly kept a public-house, and the defendant, who was then a journeyman butcher, but is now a master butcher, carrying on business at 76, Crawford street, was in the habit of frequenting his• client's house. The plaintiff received a letter, and which led to his discovering that the defendant had not only de bauched his client's wife, but had been instrumental in appropriating his money for an elopement. His client had separated from his wife, and she, in a feeling of contrition, had revealed to her injured husband the fact of her having given to the defendant 601. to invest in the savings bank. Mr. Wontner, after expatiating upon the conduct of the defendant, called Mrs. Harrison, who appeared with an infant in her arms, and seemed quite unconcerned at the position she stood in. The witness said that she became acquainted with Davey by his using her house, and gave him 601. to place in the savings bank. She requested the defend ant to return the money, and after much trouble traced him to the Paddington Bank, as he was leaving with 251. he had just drawn, and succeeded in making him give up that sum, when he said he had not got the rest, and had lent 101. to his brother. By Mr. HERRING—Had only told her husband of 501. first, but subsequently acquainted Mr. Wontner with the particulars. Had never told the defendant she was not married, or that her husband had ano ther wife. If the letter had not been sent, would not have acquainted her husband with the facts. The money was given to the defendant as a provision for a contemplated elopement with Davey. The reason she did not go away with Davey was because he had taken up with some one else.—(Laughter.)—Had left her husband about three months. Evidence was given corroborative of the fact of defendant's intimacy, and of receiving sums of money. Mr. HERRING, solicitor for the defendant, said his client had returned the whole of the money, and con tended that no reliance could be placed upon the testi mony of such a woman, and called Mr. Davey, who said that the whole of the sum he had received he had rstnrned. Mrs. Harrison had told him she was not married to the plaintiff, and wanted him to elope with her, but he knew better.—(Laughter.) She ex pressed herself angry when he said he did not see the use of eloping, as he might be about marrying.— (Roars of laughter.) By Mr. IVONTNER—He took the money to elope with, and received it sometimes in the street. Swears be never ran up a score at plaintiff's house. Don't know what a score is.—(Laughter.) Speculated in horse-racing ; and the other money at the bank was the proceeds of his labour whilst a journeyman butcher. Did not put his savings by until Mrs. Harrison taught him—(Laughter) ;—had before that kept his mouey in the box. His HONOUR gave a verdict for 191. 10s., being the difference between what the defendant had given up and that which was proved to have been invested. OLICE 1N TELLIGEN CE. BO W-STREET. A well-dressed young man, named Edward Henry Peyntz, was placed before Mr. Henry, charged with forging two orders for the payment of 501. each, in the name of John Tomline, an officer in the army, and with intent to defraud Messrs. Coutts and Co., the bankers. There were further charges preferred against the prisoner for forging the indorsements of three bank-post bills, with the same intent. Mr. Mullens attended to prosecute. Robert Pusey, a clerk in the bank of Messrs. Coutts, produced a letter which bad been sent to his employers by post on the 19th of June last, from Windsor, and in compliance with which instructions were given to the Bank of England for two bank-post bills, payable to Mr. Tomline, who kept an account at the house. The bills were duly transmitted to Windsor, after which it was discovered that the signatures attached to the orders had been forged, and but very slightly resembled the writing of Mr. Tomline. _ _ Mr. HENRY inquired how it was that the fraud was not discovered before the instructions were complied with P—Witness was under the impression that it was a genuine signature until he happened to compare it with the handwriting of Mr. Tomline. His Worship remarked that more caution should have been used. _ Mr. T. F. Armsted, a clerk in the Bank of Eng land, deposed that the two bank bills produced were issued and made payable to Mr. Totnline, in pursuance of the instructions of Messrs. Coutts. Sergeant Whicher, the detective officer, stated that on being informed of the charge, he traced one of the bills to Mr. Corsby, a jeweller in the New-road, where it was changed for a gold watch, some signet rings, and other articles of jewellery. The prisoner was convicted in April last, at the Old Bailey, of ob taining goods under false pretences, and he was un derstood to be a captain in the 58th regiment of foot, from which he sold out in 1845. Mr. Tomline was at that time a brother officer in the same regiment. The prisoner was apprehended at 145, Fore-street, Chester, and he denied all knowledge of the charge. Pawn brokers' duplicates relating to a gold watch and signet ring were found in his possession. At the request of Mr. Muliens, who had been unable to learn the present address of dr. Tomline, Mr. HENAY r e manded the prisoner fur further ex amination. --- In answer to a question from the magistrate, the inspector intimated that there was no one present who had actually witnessed the attack, as the parties were alone at the time, but that immediately after the out cry the prisoner was seen retreating hastily from the house by his master, who called after him, but he hur ried on without regarding the summons. A certificate from the house-surgeon of the hos pital, describing the serious nature of the injuries the woman had sustained, having been put in, the prisoner, who declined offering any observations in reply to the charge, was ordered to be remanded for a week. CLERKENWELL. Bridget Davis was put to the bar before Mr. Tyr whitt, charged with having attempted to murder her husband. The complainant said that he was married to the prisoner two years ago, and nearly the whole of that period his existence had been one of bitterness in the extreme, his wife frequently abandoning his society for that of other men, and spending in debauchery from 11. to 31. a week. Ten days ago she wounded him with a knife, which offense, like many previous ones of the same description, he overlooked ; but was now so satisfied that she would take his life if pos sible, that he thought it his duty to hand her over to justice. On the previous evening, between five and six o'clock, he went home and found her drunk on the bed with her babe, who was crying for food, and en his arousing her she attacked him in a furious manner, and finally seised a sharp-pointed table knife, and stabbed him in the chest, and under the left eye to the cheek bone. All this time she was calling out most lustily " Murder," which brought into the apartment of the complainant a Mrs. Elphin, and a man, the latter of whom received a very severe cut across his hand, in wresting the weapon from her. That interference, he believes, saved his life. Mr. TYRWHITT remarked that it was a very melan choly exhibition, and asked what family they had ? The complainant said she had had one child, but she knew best who was its father. Mrs. Elphin having given corroboratory evidence, The MAGISTRATR asked the defendant if she wished to say anything P—She answered in a sullen manner, "No." Mr.TTRWUITT wished to know if the man that was wounded in the hand was in attendance. The prosecutor said "No ;" he understood he had gone to a surgeon to have it dressed. He would be forthcoming another day. Mr. TYRITHITT, having commented on the extra ordinary and evidently uncalled-for barbarity of the prisoner, who, luckily for her, had married a good natured and too easy man, remanded her. The prosecutor wanted to know if he might take possession of the infant. It should then have that care, through him, which its unnatural mother would not bestow on it. The prisoner observed, in an unfeeling manner, that he might have the child if he liked, and it WS3 given up to him accordingly. She skipped gaily from the bar with the gaoler. Samuel Wyld, a hearty, rawboned fellow, 25 years of ago, was charged with stealing nine sovereigns and 17s. 6d. from Mrs. Mary Lambert, of No. 5, King's place, St. Pancras. The prosecutrix is 60 years of age, and "deaf as a post." From the evidence brought forward, it appeared that the prosecutrix had left her husband, and three weeks ago took up with the prisoner, and had since lived with him as his wife. Tuesday last she left him at home, and on her return she found that he had departed, having previously broken open every box and drawer, from which he abstracted the cash in question ' besides much other valuabl e p ro p er ty, some of which he disposed of in the neighbourhood. He subsequently accosted Police-constable Smith, 31 F division, and inquired the nearest railway station to Leeds. The officer directed him, after which the accused whispered into his ear that he had been cohabiting with an old lady, and having quarrelled with her, he had helped himself to all she possessed, and had given her the " slip," and meant to " cut" to Leeds; at the same time eagerly inquiring, " Do you think I shall be taken in Leeds," whereupon the constable assured him that he would not, and marched him off to the station-house, where the whole of the amorous old lady's money was found upon him. The case excited considerable merriment, and the prisoner was sent to Newgate for trial. SOUTH WARY. Mrs. Sophia Wellden was summoned before Mr. Jardine, for defrauding the Brighton Railway Com pany, by conveying a child from Newhaven to Lon don, and refusing to pay its fare. James Smith, district inspector at the London bridge terminus, said the defendant came from New haven with a child, upwards of five years old. She had no ticket for it, and refused to pay the fare. He took her before the superintendent, when she said she did not intend to pay for the child. On her refusing to pay the fare witness took her address, No. 33, Ken sington-street, Kensington. Defendant said that, as for the child, she did not pay for it when she went to Newhaven, and she considered she had no right to do so when she re turned. Mr. Acton:read the bye-laws of the company, which set forth "All children must be paid for be tween the ages of two and twelve, except in Parlia mentary trains." Mr. JARDINI said the defendant's answer to the charge was absurd, and actually increased her offence. She had subjected herself to a penalty of 405., which he would have enforced had not Mr. Acton, the super intendent, interfered on her behalf. The magistrate ordered the defendant to pay the fare for the child and the costs. The defendant paid the money, and was discharged CORONERS' INQUESTS. On Saturday, Mr. J. W. Payne, the deputy coro ner, held an inquest at the Crown, Blackfriars-road, on the body of Jane Eagle, aged two years, who was killed on Thursday last by a chaise-cart running over her. Several witnesses proved to having followed the chaise, which drove towards Blackfriars-bridge, but too rapidly to be overtaken. A gentleman named Carr, a draper of Putney, was stopped by mis take, his chaise answering the description of the one causing death, but as to the delinquent, there is but little chance of his being detected. The coroner ad journed the inquest in the hope that the man may be found by the police. On Saturday, a poor woman, named Shenton, died at her lodgings, in Great Peter-street, Westminster, under most deplorable circumstances. Her husband fell from a scaffolding at the new Houses of Parlia ment on Wednesday, and, when taken to the West minister Hospital, was found to be quite dead from the injuries. He was accordingly conveyed home, and the shock was so great to his wife that she was in consequence confined to her bed. The inquest was held, and he was placed in a shell by the side of her bed. She died on Saturday, and was laid out, and placed by the side of her former partner. On Friday ' at the inquest Mr. Bedford said some means should be adopted at the Houses of Parliament to prevent accidents, and he thought a sheet of canvass might be placed under the scaffolding, so that men, if they slipped, might have their lives saved. On Friday an inquest was taken before Mr. Payne, in the Board-room of Bishopsgate Without, on view of the body of Mary Anne Johnson, 14 months old, an illegitimate child, whose mother is now in New gate, having been committed for trial at the ensuing Central Criminal Court, by Alderman Challis, on the charge of having neglected the maintenance of her child during her habitual state of intemperance. Diana Phillips, nurse of the Marylebone workhouse, said that the deceased was placed under her care on the 27th of July. The child was then in a shocking state from neglect, and had a difficulty of breathing. The mother took it away in a few days, but witness received it again in leas than a week. In three weeks' time the mother received her child, which left in good condition. City policeman Hodges, No. 120, who took the mother into custody, stated that he had made inquiries as to the former career of the deceased's mother, and had ascertained that she had formerly lived in a style of extravagance at Notting-hill, where she occupied an elegantly furnished house for about seven years. She was at the time under the protec tion of Captain Hawkins, who is dead. She was subsequently the protigi of a merchant in the City, from whom she had a liberal allowance. In the course of the last six months she has been four times convicted at Marylebone Police-court. She had neg lected both her children (the eldest is four years old), who for days successively had no food from her, and bad been in the House of Correction. Verdict— That the deceased died from an inflammation of the chest, supposed to have been caused by the neglect of the mother. The inquest lasted four hours. An inquest was held by Mr. Baker, on Friday, at No. 21, Finsbury-square, on view of the body of Mr. S. R. Rickett, aged 46, a stipendiary magistrate of Demerara. Benjamin Combe, servant to Madame Julia, proprietress of the house, said that the deceased had occupied apartments with his wife since Monday last. He made no complaint on his arrival. He wa s attended on Wednesday by Dr. Pereira, and he had some medicine. The next morning, between three and four o'clock, witness was called up, and was in formed that the deceased bad been found dead in his bed by his wife, upon which he sent for Dr. Pereira immediately. Dr. Pereira stated that he saw the deceased on Wednesday afternoon. He was lying on the sofa, suffering from ague, with dropsy in his legs. The deceased said that he had been labouring under an attack of a diseased liver for some time, and that he was sent over to this country by his medical ad visers for change of air. Witness had made a post mortem examination of the body that day, and found a rupture of the spleen, which had led to a large effusion of blood into the abdomen, and which was the immediate cause of death. He had also a diseased liver. Verdiet—Founi dead. WORSHIP-STREET. Christopher Brookes, a porter in the service of Mr. Charles Terry, a carpet manufacturer, in Chis well-street, St. Luke's, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hammill, upon a charge of stabbing his fellow servant, Elizabeth Rotheroe, with a carving -knife, in different parts of her person, with intent to murder her. Elizabeth Gerard, nurse in the family of Mrs. Terry, stated, that while engaged with the children in the nursery, between six and seven o'clock on the preceding evening, she was alarmed by a succession of dreadful screams, proceeding from the kitchen down stairs, and on hastening there to ascertain the cause of it she found the cook, Elizabeth Rotheroe, seated in a chair, in a fainting condition, and bleeding profusely from a frightful gash across the bridge of the nose. In answer to her inquiries respecting the person wbo had inflicted the injuries, the wounded woman, in a faint voice, informed her that she had been stabbed by the prisoner, who bad escaped out of the apartment, and, at the same time, pointed at the sideboard, on which she observed a carving -knife, the blade of which was much bent and stained with blood in dif ferent places. On removing her dress it was ascer tained that, in addition to the wound in her face, and a severe laceration of her thumb, she had sustained two deep and dangerous wounds in the upper part of her back, and under the left shoulder blade. A sur geon in the neighbourhood was sent for by her master, who had followed her into the kitchen, and baying dressed her wounds he ordered her immediate removal to the hospital. The witness added that a good deal of ill feeling had recently existed between the prisoner and the injured woman arising out of some money matters, and that she had heard them in angry alter cation on the subject upon more than one occasion. Inspector Brennan, G, stated that having received information of the outrage, together with a descrip tion of the prisoner, he succeeded in tracing him on the previous evening to a house in Gloucester-street, Hoxton, where he found him in an upper room, and upon acquainting him with the charge against him, the prisoner after a short pause replied, " Yes, that's all right enough, and I suppose that I must make myself at your service." The prisoner was then con veyed to the station-house, and witness afterwards proceeded to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he saw the prose cu t r i x , w h o was i n su ch an extreme state of pro s t ra ti on th at h e was no t permitted to hold any communicati on w ith h er , and considerable ap prehensions were enterta i ne d by her medical ' at tendants that her injuries would result in a fatal ter- MinitiOn.
