Southampton ........ - 50 0 0 50 0 0 - A meeting of the St. Marylebone Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association was held yesterday evening, at the Literary Association, Carlisle-street, Portman-market, to consider the best means for adopt ing the principles put forth by the National Associa tion ; Mr. Nicholay in the chair. The SECRPTARY read letters for non-attendance from Sir B. Hall and Lord Dudley Stuart. The former assured them he would be at his post when the great question of reform should be discussed in Parliament ; and if the Ministerial meaaure was not such as would satisfy the just demands of the people he would do his best to extend its provisions ; and Lord Dudley Stuart, after referring to his speeches in and out of Parlia ment, and the votes given by him for the extension of the suffrage, expressed his opinion that it was essential for the people to demand such an extension of the suffrage, at least, as should give every one who was rated a vote, triennial Parliaments, a more equal di vision of electoral di s t r i c t s , an d, a b ove a ll, th e b a ll o t. r obtain these he recommended large and influential meetings and petitions to the Legislature. He would have meetings held in every borough and county in the kingdom, and promised his attendanne at such a meeting to be held in Marylebone, if convened just before the meeting of Parliament. The CHAIRMAN having opened the business of the evening by explaining the objects of the meeting, Mr. MITCHELL moved the following resolution : " That any reform of the representation of the people which does not include the principles advocated by the National Reform Association can neither command nor deserve the confidence and support of the people of this country." He thought they were in a position to say that any new measure of reform must be supple mental to the Reform Bill of 1831, and nothing short of a free, full, and fair representation of the people. The former Bill would serve as a lever and stepping stone to clear the way. But this Reform Bill, whatever its basis, should not have its working destroyed by cumbrous machinery. As an instance of this, the borough of MaryLbone ought to have 30,000 votes under the present Bill, as its basis was that all houses above 101. per annum should give a vote; but they only had 18,0001. They:might have a Bill containing the five points of the charter, and the law 'might make the Bill large and ample in the pro ne then noticed pro gramme, but give them the go-by in the working. Under of the objections to the present sy htem nder itithe two first boroughs on the alphabeticaleQula list only had 400 electors, ari4menne.u.tra_hse briberyhe snch a borough as than before. and yet they e In n nd t e h r it he arguedi)la r v l e b w o a n s e m i no more dangerous so large . that bribery should y; constitutionally, and were sßhiollutldhebeeonnsottitou nenlyciveesryrnustbe hard, but impossible peacefully. legally; in a position to make their demands in a voice too l oud to be un heard, and too potent t o be overlooked. N o boon had ever been obtained by the p eo p le unless the y fairly took it up, and he urged t hem to show that they were determined to persevere to the end. This was secondA by Mr. D Iffanger, jun., - an d supported by Mr. Serle, who, in his speech, drew at tention to the facts that they were not theorists, but wished to return to old-established practices, and they were not about to make a new constitution, but to destroy the corruptions of the present one. Ile enu merated the different points they advocated, extens ion of the franchise to every head of a family, the ballot, short Parliaments, and urged on them the present state of the continent as an argument fur the necessity of the reform they sought. Mr. MaDowall and other gentlemen subsequently addressed the meeting, And the proceedings terminated. CANALS. ..* 1 b Dividend - i Names of 7 0, IDividend Priem 2 Names of 0 b I r Companies.

The execution of the statues and busts is to be entrusted to M. Bolleami, professor of sculpture at the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts, in whose atelier two statues, Psyche and Eve, in white marble, are now much admired. At Florence, the exhibition of the Academy has been enriched by a bronze group of Cain and Abel, made by the professor of sulpture. The medimval buildings of Siena, Pisa, and Lucca, are being actively restored, and the domes (cathedrals) of Prato and Orvieto have undergo a thorough repair, when, conjointly, many injudicious restorations of the time of art-decadency were also removed.—Builder. TIMELY RESCUE.—On Thursday evening, just after the closing of the north bridge of the George's Dock, Liverpool, and when the pent-up crowd was running over, a gentleman heard a low moaning sound, issuing apparently i h rin w b as in u e da a e t d h det t co h; bridge. On looking down he perceived that a man had fallen from the pier upon the stone platform over which one-half of the bridge slides when it is withdrawn.

FRIDAY EVENING, THE ISTHMUS OF PANAMA. SOUTHAMPTON, DEC. 17.—Captain Chappell, R.N., the Secretary of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Com pany, has furnished the subjoined extracts from an official report made to that company upon the present state of the Isthmus of Panama, and of the works on the railway now constructing there. This communi cation will be found to contain information upon the subject hitherto unknown in this country, and taken in connexion with the certainty of the near comple tion of the railway, and the probability that, besides being crossed by the Californian and west coast traffic, the Panama route must at no distant day be adopted as the main channel of European intercourse with Australia, New Zealand, Polynesia, &c., any authentic and reliable information from this quarter is at the present moment most opportune : " Panama, Nov. 17, 1851. " I proceeded in the little steamer Gorgona to Limon Bay. A strong breeze was blowing at the time from N.W., and much sea running into the bay then and during the two days I was on Manzanilla Island. It afforded me, however, a favourable opportunity of judging of the general eligibility of the position ; far more so, in fact, than I should have had with the wind at its usual quarter, N.E. With the breeze as it generally blows there (except for three months in the year) ships drawing twenty feet of water might haul to the wharf, land or embark mails, passengers, Flank., and merchandise. In the other months of November, December, and January, however, the north wind occasionally blows home and raises a swell ; upon such occasions ships might make fast to moorings, laid down for that purpose, two cables' length from the wharf, and land and embark anything and everything in boats with ease, facility, and dispatch. " There is a wharf already run out in Victor Bay, with from 10 feet to 12 feet water alongside it, and 19 feet at the end, but it is to be carried out into four and a half fathoms of water, and the space inside filled with earth, &c., that warehouses may be built on the cite, and as near as possible to the land ing place. " A lighthouse is to be built on Manzanillo, Island, and although fresh water has not been met with there as yet, it is intended to dig for it, and if none be found tanks are to be erected to receive the rain water, as is done at Bermuda and other places. " On the afternoon of the 7th instant I left the railway terminus on a sort of platform car propelled by a locomotive, and travelled three miles to where some trifling repair was being made, a portion of the line traversing a swamp. At that spot we got into hand cars, and were whirled along to Gatun at nearly locomotive speed. "As it was 5 a' M. when we reached Gatun, we did not go beyond it that evening, there being only another hour's daylight, but returned to Manzanilla Island, where we slept. " On the following dry I went over the line to a point, 1/ mile beyond Gatun, and nine miles from Manzanilla Island, which point in fact is the extent to which rails have as yet been laid continuously. " It might have suited the Panama Railroad Com pany to have made use of that part of the road which is finished, but I think it, is better that they do not use it as yet, for to have swarms of people on the line before it is quite ready would occasion great incon venience. The company have decided, therefore, that the road shall not be used until it is properly fit for travel as far as Barbadoes (six miles below Gor gona, and where it is now intended to cross the Chagres), which will probably be in April or May next ; after which, although the river will not be bridged by that time, it is expected that two months more will take the line to Gorgona. " I will now give you as faithful a description as I can of that part of the railway which I myself ex amined, and state how much of the rest of the line I believe to be made, the length of the intervening spaces or breaks which must be finished before the severed portions can be united into one continuous line of railway, the physical features of the country across which the unfinished road is to pass, the time when it will be probably opened, and the opinion ge rally entertained of it in the neighbouring countries. "The northern or Atlantic terminus of the Panama Railroad rests on Maeanilla Island, of about 800 acres area, on the eastern side of Limon or Navy Bay. " On the north-western extremity (nearly) of the island is a small cove named Victor Bay,' which has been judiciously chosen for one of the termini of the railway, and on the north-western confine of which a wharf, as already observed, has been con atructed, near which, but a little in rear of it, the line of railway runs. " The formation of Manzanilla Island is coralla ceous, with sand and shell intermixed; the land is low, and thickly wooded with large timber trees, a portion of which have been cleared upon a space twice as large as is necessary for the immediate re quirements of the railway. " The eastern boundary of the island rests on Man zanilla Bay, where there is good shelter at all times fur vessels of 400 tons burden and less. There are many smaller Wands in time bay„ but I did not visit them, as the sea was too heavy - to admit of my doing so, and the narrow strait which divides the island of Manzdnilla from the main could not be passed in a boat, owing to its being crossed by the line of rail way, the piles of which are only about three feet from each other; they are of a yellow pine, and driven in from eight to ten feet water. " The distance by railway from the northern terminus to Gatun is 7i lam of which two-thirds are piled and the rest' graded,' and the sleepers, rails, &c., laid on the solid earth. Two small mounds of earth are cut through in the line, which furnish the red clay for the fillings, embankments, &c., 1k miles of which are completed, and 3i yet to be done. I saw the dirt carts, locornotivei, &c., at work filling in, and as the soil is near the spot where they want it they get on fast. " Wherever the sleepers have been laid upon the solid earth the railroad is firm and unyielding; it is the same where the piles are filled in, for the red clay has settled down and consolidated so thoroughly that the rains soleso m seems of e ms c'Eit, and the on l y i nconven i ence I thatexperienced caused by th e c l ay st i c ki ng t o the boots. It s h ou ld b e b orne i n m i n d that I am describi n g the condition of those parts of the railway as Tto have no eff ec t upon i t. I wa lk e d found them a f ter several months ' over some s e rain ; the rain, h owever, to my great surprise, did not seem to have inj ur ed the road in any shape. • parts was s. . " At present there are only 500 workmen employed on the road. As the dry season commences at the end of next month, the force of labourers is to be largely increased, unless the remainder of the work is done by contract,, which it is likely to be. wherever it is necessary the railroad has been effectually drained. " Oa our way to Gatuu we crossed the river of that nanwand the Mendic river, also on the cars; both'of . streams are tributaries of the Cbagres. Althou: 41U at Present, the Gatun is only 50 feet span ti• m en dic is much smaller and in the sum- nier dry. "They intend to bridge the river Gatun with the hard Bullet tree of the country and form abutments on either side of solid masonry, for which there is plenty of stone in the neighbourhood. 4, Th e o nly part of the road w hi c h I no ti ce d h a d given way was a small porti on , a b out 21 m il es f rom the terminus. Some of the supports had settled with the weight of the locomotives, which rendered it ne cessary to lift the rails, cross ties, and sleepers, and restore the level of the line by fixing additional pieces of scantling under the cross ties. "I should here remark that the swamps I crossed are not quagmires—there is nothing of the sort, in deed, on the line—but puddles of water, which accu mulate in the rainy season, but in the dry season evaporate and leave firm ground. " The railway in such places is constructed after a process which the Americans term 'cribbing'—the structure being like that of a crib. It was on one of these cribbed portions of the line that the supports had sunk, owing to the broken brushwood under the lower blocks of timber of the cribwork having become com pressed by the weight of the locomotives until it rested firmly on the ground beneath, and with a consistency enabling it to resist further pressure. The engineers say they are not apprehensive that any more of their work will settle. " I have stated that I travelled on the railway a mile and a halt beyond Gatun, the extent yet railed in unbroken connexion with the Atlantic terminus. That portion is piled, and the filling in parts will be from 10 to 12 feet deep. What I am now about to report, however, rests on the statements of the engi neers. "From the extreme point visited by me to Aherca Lagarto is a distance of 44 miles, of which 1i mile is piled and one mile graded, leaving two miles yet to be dealt with, and which consists chiefly, but not entirely, of swamp. Half a mile of the piling in this tract has been filled in. "From Aherca Lagarto to Bujio de Soldado are three miles of good ground, 21 miles of which are graded and the rails laid, leaving only half a mile to finish. " From Bujio do Soldado to Frijol® Grande four miles intervene, of which 21. miles are graded, but rails for about one mile only. No filling is requisite thereabouts. " From Frijole Grande to Barbacoas, where it is now intended to bridge the Chagres, is 21 miles, half a mile of which is graded, but rails are not laid. The ground thereabouts is firm and good. "From Barbacoas to Gorgona consists of six miles of firm, bard ground, w hi c h does not require piling— light cutting and filling being all that is Recessary. " Of the last six miles, 300 feet arc included in the span of the iron bridge to be thrown across the Chagres ; that bridge is to have two arches resting on a stone pier on an island in the river. "Until the bridge is built_ the river will be ferried by boats. " By reference ;to what I have :stated, it will be seen that of the 29 miles between Manzanilla Bay and Gorgona, 16 miles are made, with the exception of filling for about 6 miles, and railing 11 mile. It fol lows, therefore, that 13 miles remain to be done ; and I am told that except 2 miles of swamp, the rest of the distance is over ground very favourable for railway purposes. "The steepest grades between Manzanilla Bay and Gatun do not exceed 20 feet in the mile, and, from what I learn, although some parts between the island and Gorgona have cost 30,0001. per mile, a con siderable portion of the line will not exceed 10,0001. per mile. Notwithstanding the extraordinary ob stacles which have beset the work we may reason ably expect, however, that henceforward physical difficulties will diminish, and with them expense, for not only does each successive yard of rail laid facili tate the work beyond it, but the further they go (say the engineers) the better does the ground become which they have to deal with. " There are the necessary turns out' on the line ; and should it hereafter be necessary a second set of rails might be laid with comparative cheapness and dispatch. " The railway stands several feet (seven foot I am told) above the line of the highest (known) overflow of the Chagres. " The Panama Railway Company have at Limon Bay, according to their own calculation, more than sufficient yellow pine piles and other timber to finish the road to Gorgona, besides which they have all the rails (601 b. rails), and a good deal of other material, including cars for passengers and merchandise, three locomotives on the spot, and three more constructing ; buildings for the workmen, too, exist along the line as far as Barbacoas ; several months' provisions are in store at Manzanilla bland, and they have a small steamer to assist them in transporting, although, as the railway is now open to Gatun, it is probable that the steamer will be sold. " It seems to me that the chief expense in future will be for labour. " The line of railway from Gorgona to Panama is to be 20 miles, the ground comprising which, although more undulating than that between Gorgona and Manzanilla Island, is looked upon as much easier to deal with. There are two cuttings 50 feet deep for a short distance, the earth from which will be required to fill such parts as are below the general level ; the other cuttings are not so extensive ; besides which there is no tunnelling, but little cribbing, and no piling. " The grades, I learn, are worked out of a rise of 215 feet, extending over a distance of 14 miles. In short, the engineers state that, with the experience they have gained, and are gaining, they are confident of being able to carry through this last portio❑ of the railroad in two dry seasons from the time they break ground between Gorgona and Panama. "The state and progress of the Panama Railway has never been properly represented ; on the contrary, it has been grossly misrepresented by parties at Grey Town, Chagres, and Panama even, possessing inter ests at those places which they fear will be seriously compromised by the success of the railway. " It will scarcely be credited that not one indivi dual from Panama, except the Governor, and but few, even from Chagres, have had the curiosity to visit and examine a work which must influence, to a vast extent, their future fortunes either for good or for evil. " When I reflect on what I saw and heard on and about the line of the Panama Railway, I cease to feel surprised that so little has been done, as the dispa ragers of the work affirm, but rather wonder that so much has been accomplished, even by the band of re solute men who have the work in hand, and whose every onward movement has been made in the face of hardship and privation. " I should not omit to state that the Panama Rail way Company has undoubted right to the possession of Mansanilla Island for the next 45 years." BANK OF ENGLAND. (From this night's Gazette.)

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 18. IN RE E. CIIIIRTON. The bankrupt was a bookseller in Holles-street, Cavendish-square. This was a last examination meet ing. The bankrupt's accounts extended from July 1, 1849, to November, 1851. They contain the follow ing figures :—Dr.: Capital, 300/. ; creditors, 9,534/. ; liabilities, 5,7301.; profits, 4,6211. Cr.: Good debtors, 1,2861. ; property, 6 , 756 /. ; cash given up, 72/. ; losses, 1,195/, ; bsd and doubtful debtors, 689/.; trade expenses, 4,060/. ; domestic expenses, 973/. ; liabilities per contra, 5,730/. Mr. LINKLATER, for the assignees, said the bank. rupt had prepared his own accounts. They were very voluminous, and the assignees had no complaint to make. A short adjournment was, however, desired, in order that the bankrupt might make out his debtors' accounts. Mr. Churton concurred. If there were an adjourn ment he should be better able, at the next meeting, to furnish information respecting some books that had not been returned to bis library by the parties to whom they had been lento—Adjournment ordered ac cordingly. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, Dec. 16. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice MAULE ) William Graham, aged 29, was charged with night poaching on certain lands in the occupation cf Wm. R. C. Stanfield, Eiq., at Esholt. It appeared that on the night of the 9th of Nov. last Mr. Stanfield's gamekeeper, accompanied by three watchers, were in a preserve at Esholt, and whilst there, hearing the report of guns and men con versing, they went towards, them, and came upon twenty men, who asked if they wanted to fight, to which Holmes, the keeper, replied that if they wanted to fight they should come out into the field, and fight like men. A man then got over the wall, whom the keeper stated he believed to be the prisoner, and presented his gun at him, upon which he said, " Don't shoot. There is no occasion to shoot." The men in the preserve then cried out, "D—n him ; shoot his dog ;" and then the prisoner shot at the dog. The keeper and watchers then ran away, and the prisoner and ten other men, with two lurcher dogs, followed them. The keeper and his watchers escaped. The prisoner was subsequently appre hended, together with seven other men on suspicion, and one of the watchers spoke positively to the pri soner as being one of the poachers out on the night in question. In his defence the prisoner stated positively that, so far from being out on the night mentioned, he was at home in bed, laid up with asprained foot. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Emmanuel Hunt, 38, and William Johnson , 24, were indicted for having, on the night of the 22d of Sep tember last, committed a burglary in the dwelling house of Mr. John Mason, a farmer, at Dishforth. It appeared that on the night in question the dairy window of Mr. Mason's house was broken open, and the burglars having entered, took away a ham, a hare, a brace of partridges, and a quantity of eggs, which had been tied up in some stockings, in order that they might be hung up, first by one end of the stockings and then by the other, so that they might be turned and kept fresh. The next day some men were thatching some corn stacks belonging to a Mr. Gil ling, and at the foot of one of them they found four stockings filled with eggs, which they took to Mr. (lining, who informed the police, and by that- direc tions the eggs were taken back to the ricks, and two officers placed to watch, and at about eight o'clock at night the two prisoners came and took away the eggs, upon which they were taken into custody ; the stockings in which the eggs were were identified as those taken from the prosecutor's house, and, upon the prilice, going to thq prisxwre' home they f.);H;cl there a red and while biwiiat to the one wilich had been seen at Mr. Mason's house on the evening of the robbery. In their defence the prisoners said, that they went DECEMBER 19, 1851. to the stacks to lie down, as one of them was lame from bis shoes hurting him, and that on so doing they found the eggs. His LORDSHIP having summed up, the jury re turned a verdict of Guilty. Sentence—one year's imprisonment, with hard labour. York, Dec.l7. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) Thomas Linley, 27, was charged with having, at Sheffield, in the West Riding, on the Ist of August last killed and slain one William Raistrick. Mr. Boothby and Mr. Philipps appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Price defended the prisoner. It appeared that on the night of the 28th July the deceased, who was a labourer on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, had been drink ing at several public-houses, and being intoxicated, in proceeding on his road home, he went into the Green Dragon, in Fargate, between eight and nine o'clock, and sat down in the tap-room. On the opposite side of the room sat three persons, namely, William Lee George Holland, and the prisoner. After the deceased had been there a few minutes he commenced inter fering in the conversation with the other men in a noisy manner, and something having passed between the prisoner and the deceased, the former got up and pulled the latter by the brim of his hat, and he sud denly jerking his lased back, hit his head against the wall. Upon this he immediately got up and seized the prisoner by the collar of his coat, and 8 scuffle ensued, in the course of which they both fell down, the prisoner being undermost. After a little time the prisoner got on the top of the deceased, who was on his back. The prisoner then got estride of the deceased, whom he lifted up several feet from the ground by the coat collar, and then struck him seven or eight times on the head against the floor, which was denominated " jowling," in doing which the de ceased got hold of the prisoner's neckerchief, which he convulsively grasped, and caused the prisoner to cry out that he was strangled. One of the men then untied the prisoner's neckkercbief, and the land lord coming in, the prisoner was removed from the deceased. At this time it was not discovered that the deceased had sustained any injury, having only the appearance of stupid unconsciousness, which was as cribed to drunkenness ; and the landlord, assisted by the waiter, removed him to the passage, and then the waiter took him to the doer to turn him out of the house, and while the waiter was raising him up to put him out, he got over-balanced and fell forward out of the doorway upon the flags with great violence, and as soon as he fell blood gushed out of his mouth and ears. Several persons who were passing in the street accused the waiter of throwing the deceased down, and a policeman being sent for, the waiter was taken into custody, but was subsequently released when the police had made inquiries concerning all the transaction. The unfortunate deceased was taken back into the house, but never returned to conscious ness, and died the next morning at eight o'clock, of concussion of the brain. The surgeon who made the post mortem examination stated that, in his opinion, death had not been occasioned by the falls which the witnesses had described, but by " the jowling" of the head against the floor. It, however, appeared that there were no bruises at the back of the head, which part came in contact with the fluor, but there was an appearance of a violent blow on the left side of the forehead, which must have been occasioned by the defendant falling out of the waiter's arms on to the flags. At the conclusion of the medical evidence the jury, without hearing Mr. Price on behalf of the prisoner, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Thomas Sutcliffe, aged 24, was charged with the manslaughter of Robert Lord, at Todmorden, in the West Riding, on the 16th of August last. Mr. Eastwood appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Overend defended the prisoner. It appeared that on the 16th of August last, as the deceased was returning home from the Philharmonic Society, about half-past eleven o'clock, he met with a young woman and entered into conversation with her. They proceeded a short distance in company, and stood together for a moment on the footpath, when the prisoner and some others came out of the York Tavern, in Todmorden, and the prisoner pro ceeded down the footpath, near to where the deceased and the woman were standing. When the prisoner got up to them he pushed the deceased from the foot pith and threw him down upon the road. Imme diately after the deceased had risen up, same kicking seems to have taken place between them over the legs, in the midst of which the prisoner was seen to kick the deceased with his foot at the bottom of his belly. Some little further struggle took place, and the prisoner then ran away, when the deceased appeared quite exhausted, and lay down on the footpath moaning and vomiting. He was then assisted home, and continued to vomit through the night, complaining of violent pain at the bottom of his belly, caused, as he said, by a kick from the foot of a man whom he did not know. Early on the following morning a surgeon was sent for, but, notwithstanding his assistance, the deceased expired about five o'clock in the afternoon. A post mortem examination took place on the day after, when it was found the colon, or large bowel, was ruptured about a couple of inches, which was the cause of death. It appeared that the deceased did not know who the person was who struck him, nor was he aware that any reason existed why the pri soner should have done so, Witnesses were called on behalf of the prisoner to speak to his general peaceable character. At the close of the case for the prosecution the pri soner's counsel said he could not resist the case so as to reduce the charge to anything less than man slaughter. His LORDSHIP having summed up, The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter, ac companied with a recommendation to mercy.—Sen tence deferred. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT; THIRD COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) Elizabeth Thomas, 24, married, was indicted fur obtaining by false pretences, the sum of 51. from Henry Philip Davies, with intent to defraud him. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Poland prosecuted, the pro ceedings being instigated by the Mendicity Society ; Mr. Charnock defended. The prosecutor stated that he is a coal merchant, keeping the Palace- w had, Lambeth, and first knew the prisoner some time in July last, when she came to him, being a perfect stranger, and introduced herself to him, saying that she wanted to ask his ad vice relative to some property she had down at Bath, which she wished to sell. Witness told her the best thing she could do was to see some solicitor on the matter. She then asked witness to write a letter for her to Mr. Wood, a solicitor, :13, Royal-crescent, Bath. She then produced what purported to be the extract from a will, by which she was entitled to a sum of between 8001. and 9001. He in consequence wrote a letter, and an answer was returned signed by a Mr. Wood, and posted from Bath, stating that 901. had been offered for the land. The prisoner asked him what he thought she had better do with the money, as she thought of putting it into the bank. The prosecutor told her he thought she would do better by letting it remain, and she said she coincided with his views, and asked him to write to her solicitor again and tell him the determination she had come to. He did so, and again received an answer purporting to come from the same party, acknowledging his letter, and stating that her wishes should be complied with. Some short time after he saw the prisoner again, and she then showed him a letter which alluded to her aunt, and stated that she was then at Carlisle at the point of death. She did not ask the witness for any money, but made a statement about having to wait until she could get the money, some Post-office orders having failed to reach her, upon which the prosecutor kindly offered to lend her 61. to take her down there, and he himself went and saw her off by the railway. Subsequently finding that he had been defrauded, he made commu nication to the Mendicity Society, which resulted in her apprehension in November last. The other evidence went to prove that no such a person as Mr. Wood lived at Royal-crescent, Beth, but that the letters so sant down had been got posses. sion of by some of the gang down there, acting in concert with the prisoner. When taken in custody she was searched by the female searcher, who, whilst she was performing the task, observed her try to swallow something, upon which she called in the officers, and they forced from her mouth a letter of a similar character to that by which she had defrauded the prosecutor in this instance. Mr. CHARNOCK, at some length, contended that the prosecutor had most foolishly given the money of his own free will, and was not instigated by any false pretence of the prisoner. The jury found her Guilty. There was another indictment for obtaining 141. Os. Gd. from another person, on the ground of her pro perty in Bath. Horsford, the Mendicity officer, said the prisoner was an old offender, and had fur years been connected with a gang of begging-letter impostors and swind lers. In November, 1849, she was taken up with a gang at Bath. There were five in number charged with obtaining money under false pretences. She was an aesoeime ef the man Bew, transported in the New Court yesterday. Norris, another officer, said that she had lived with a man now under committal at Hanley, in Stafford shire, and awaiting his trial for s i m il a r fra u ds. Also on the prisoner was found a savings bank book belonging to a woman named Farmer, another of the reang now under conviction, a circumstance which showed the system and extent to which the gang carried on their operations.—The prisoner was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour. ---------- Renr POLICE .Fi ll'i r T i E L LI GEN G .
