We can affirm that a person, %yell known on the Bourse, read passages from a document which he affirmed that be had copied from the original, remitted to Journal des Debats. It was added that the Orleanists would at the same time announce the candidateship of D.I. de Joinville to the place of representative vacant in the department of the Seine. Enthusiasts went further, and asserted th a t th e su c cess of the candidateship being certain, the new representative would be elected to the presidency of the Assembly. These, however, are but the usual ornamental commentaries. The candidateship of a member of t he family of Orleans can only excite on the Bourse movements of joy and hopes of success ; but what has appeared serious to us a midst the commentaries of the violent men of th e i Parquet and the Coulisse, s the announcement of a manifesto. We nevertheloss make all reserve on this piece of news from a suspected source, and m e ntion w ith ou t guarant , enw it." THE NEAPOLITAN ATROCITIES. The Independance of Brussels publishes the follow ing: note addressed by Lord Palmerston to Prince Ca.stelcicala, the Neapolitan Minister in London : " I have had the honour to receive your letter of the 9th, accompanied by a pamphlet intituled ' The Neapolitan Government and Mr. Gladstone,' and copies of which you beg ma to forward to the royal ambassadors at the different courts of Europe. I beg to reply that I cannot accede to your request, not wishing to assist in dissimulating a publication which, in my opinion, neither does honour to its author nor to the Government which it seeks to defend, nor to the political party of which be makes himself the cham pion. I feet m7self compelled to declare that the letters of Mr. Gladstone to Lord Aberdeen present the sad picture of a system of illegality, injus tice, and cruelty, such as no one could believe could hale been practised in our day in a European coun try. The iaformation which I have obtained from different sources have led me to the conclusion that the English writer has in no way exaggerated the evils which he depicts. On the contrary, the author appears to have for object to call public attention to ablates which, if they were to continue, would neces sarily overthrow the foundation of the Neapolitan Goa srnment, and would open the road to those violent explosions which, sooner or later, burst forth when injustice is prolonged and aggravated. The Neapo litan Government besides deceives itself if it thinks that a tissue of unfounded assertions and hazarded contradictions, mingled with gross attacks on political parties, will render it any real service, and assist in attaining the object it pursues. In conclusion, I will remark that, in the publications of M'Farlance are contained direct and indirect avowals which, contrary to his intention, confirm rather than destroy this conviction.

SINGULAR CASE OF INFANTICIDE AT WAKEFIELD. At an early hour on Monday morning last, the la habitants of Wakefield were greatly excited by the report that a child bed baen found, with its throat cut from ear to ear, at the station of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company. The rumour unfor tunately proved too true ; and in the course of the day an inquest on the body was held at the Royal Otk Inn, before Mr. Thomas Lee, coroner, when the following particulate; transpired : Shortly after five o'clock on Monday morn ing, one of the company's porters named H. Jack son, went to the station as usual, for the purpose of seeing the Government train dispatched, which leaves Wakefield at helf-past five. To ere was another rail way servant also on the premises, a young man be longeng to the telegraph-office, named Mahalane Park, who booked four persons to go by the train, namely, two males and two females. Imme diately on the departure of the train, the porter Jackson went into the passage where the book ing-office is situate, for the purpose of taking out a ladder, ietendiog to extinguish the gas lights. Having discharged this duty, and been absent only about five minutes, on his return he found in the passage a common blue hat-box, corded in rather a clumsy manner, lying on the ground. On taking it into the telegraphic office, and thinking there was something strange in the weight and appearance of the box, the two servants decided upon opening it, when., to their horror and surprise, they found it con tained a male child, with its throat out in a shocking manner, and quite dead. From the medical testi moey of Mr. Francis Ilorsrall, surgeon, it would op pear that the child could only hive bQen born a few hou rs b e f ore its life was destroyed. As to the par e ies i m pli cated in th prepetration of this diabolical d ee d, a curious chain o f circum stantial evidence h as a l ready been developedt a ppears that, about t en m i nutes after the de parture of the train for Manchester, a man and a wo man came to the booking -office window, and in qeired if the train had gone to Thornhill. On learn ing that it bad gone, and that there was n o o th er tra i n u ntil half past eleven o clock, they d eparted, and within - a few minutes afterwards the hat-box was disco vered, containing the murdered infant. A railway go up Kirkgeta to the p o li ce - office, officer, while gng saw a female . t standing . at yard, speedily decamped the end of a ; who,bu on catching si,,h f him, t she w as subsequen,ly taken into custody in company with a man who is supposed to have been with_ her at the r a il way s t a ti o n. The telegraphic clerk, Park, positively swears to the woman being the person who cars® to the window to make trains are known to inquiries respecting the to Thornhill.

At the sesions just commenced Mr. Henderson, the Recorder, made the following observation to the grand jury on party processions in that town on her Ma jesty's visit. After alluding to certain recent im provements in the criminal law, he said—There is a case (of which I have seen the depositions) arising out of the processioo on the 14th of July last. I think every well-regulated minded man, whey it is consi dered that life was lost on that occasion, must regret that any such processions should ever take place. For my part, I think it would be far b e tt er th a t no pro cessions of that description should take place for the future. I understand the object is to commemorate a great victory, which I may say completed a revolu tion in this country, which has been attended with the most happy consequences to the rights and liber ties of all. But one cannot but remember that it is the commemoration of a victory which many persons regard as a triumph over their countrymen and over their reli g i on ; an d, thi s b e i ng th e case , an y offensive display should be avoided. It should be avoided because it is calculated to irritate, and to lead, as it has done in this case, to breaches of the peace. Therefore I should say that after the lapse of a century and a half, when all are enjoying the benefits of that revolution, it is not fitting that that particular battle and struggle should be brought forward in public, seeing that it may excite parties who feel as if they were insulted by such display. An Englishman may exult in the victory of Waterloo, but he would never think, where there was a large body of Frenchmen, of making a public dis play of that exultation. Not that his patriotic feeling would be less, but he would feel the propriety of for bearance in such a case. I therefore hope those par ties who direct this matter will see the propriety of abstaining in future from such displays. There are some processions which stand on a different footing. I confess I am glad to see the Welshman with his leek in his hat on St. David's day, or the Irishman with his shamrock on St. Patrick's day ; it is a feel ing of nationality, and may be desirable to stimulate exertion, which may possibly be of some benefit. An Irishman may be justly proud of his beautiful country, and a Welshman of his mountains and the tradi tions of his country ; and, therefore, I say the assembling of themselves together on such occssiona stands on a different footing ; but I doubt whether processions where Irishmen are col lected, as they are in this town, in such large numbers, is the most proper way of exhibiting their feelings on that day. It frequently causes much anxiety to those charged with the preservation of the peace. But this being the case, it would be far better that some other mode of celebrating these days should be selected. I should also mention another obvious mischief—the great interruption to the traffic and commerce of a large town like this, from having large bodies of people collected in the streets. I should, therefore, hope that those who have more influence than I have would discountenance processions of this kind ; because they really excite great anxiety, and involve serious evils on almost every occasion when they take place. Having adverted to these topics, I cannot but congratulate you on the occa sion in which this town lately poured forth its thousands, and tens of thousands, for a very dif ferent purpose. I cannot but think it is most for tunate and most creditable to the town to know that no fault—and, I believe, no serious accident—occurred on that occasion ; and although circumstances were in some degree adverse, and the weather unpropitious, yet it served to test the gracious feeling of her Ma i esty, who omitted nothing that was possible to gratify the loyalty of her subjects. But, on the other hand, it seemed that no adverse circumstances could damp the ardour of the people, or restrain their acclama tions on that occasion. It was something more than mere curiosity that assembled them ; I consiier it to have been a strong proof of their attachment to the monarchy so happily established in this country. We have seen in other countries kings dethroned, revolu tions agitated, and changes brought about by tumult and bloodshed, but not lo in this country. We have witnessed great changes, and gone through great political excitement, but happily without at all effect ing the security and steadiness of our government ; and one great reason is, the attachment which the people have to our established form of government, together with their confidence in the monarchy, and, above all, confidence in their Sovereign, who they well know will seek their welfare, and in every change take that course best calculated to secure their interest under any circumstances that may arise. (The Recorder concluded by dismissing the grand jury to their duties.) AN OLD, BUT SUCCESSFUL, HORSE THICK. On Saturday morning last, at about eleven o'clock, a successful horse trick was played upon Captain Ro bert Mussel], of Wells, whose vessel is now at this port discharging coals. It seems that the worthy son of Ocean was wandering over the quays at the time stated, when a respectably dressed person hauled along side, and after putting several ordinary questions, said, " I sent my servant into the town yesterday to bay a horse for me. He said he was to give 21/, for it, but I think he is about doing me. I have to buy it for a gentleman. Hoiloa, here comes my master now," added he, as another well-dressed man came up, as if by mere accident. The trio after a time went to the Bull Inn, where the second man laid on the table twenty-one sovereigns, and shoved them over to the first man, who said " that won't do, I must receive the money of a stranger." He then asked the captain if he had 211.? when he said "No, but I can get it," on which the captain immediately went out and got 211. The three then retired to the Sea Horse Inn, where the captain was told if he would lend the first man 211. for a few mi nutes he should receive 221. for it. The captain then went out with the man who had not shown any money, in order that he might see the horse at the Coach and Horses. When opposite Alex ander's bank the captain said to the man, "I know nothing of horse-dealing—take the 211. and get the horse, and I'll go back to your friend and get the 221. for it." Oa his return to the inn the man who had displayed the 21 sovereigns had " hooked it," when the captain ran towards the Coach and Horses, but found that the fellow to whom he had entrusted his mo ney had also hoisted all sail and got away. The poor fel low felt that the wind had been taken out of his sheets completely, and mournfully made his way to the station house, where the facts were revealed. A horse was found at the Coach and Horses Inn, which has been valued at about 41. Immediate exertions were made by Police-constable Robinson to detect the fellows; hut notwithstanding the utmost activity the pirates got away with their spoil. The affair has created the utmost merriment amongst the captains on the quay, who are thoroughly rejoiced that it was not a Suffolk man who was thus taken in. The poor fellow played most anxiously into the rascal's hand, in order to save the sovereign. He exclaimed to the victimiser " Come, make haste, take the 214 ; there's another gentleman at the inn waiting to pay me 221., and I shall lose money and horse too if I don't make haste." An extraordinary desire to obtain the one sove reign blinded his weather eye as to the fate of the larger sum he had advanced. Having seen the Sea Horse the confiding captain though: it unnecessary to see the land animal ; had he, however, hut hinted the matter to the attentive host, Mr. Worby would quickly have saved him from these land sharks.- 12swich Express. "SAM THE RUNNER'S" VISIT TO TUE GREAT EXHIBITION. There are very few persons in Gloucestershire that know anything of Earl Fitzhardinge's fox-hunting establishment who do nut knew something of " Sam the Runner." In fact, so constant and unremitting has been his attendance in the hunting field for many years past, that (without being in tho service of his Lordship) his presence on those occasions seems as indispensable and necessary almost as that of the hounds. Some time niece Sam, like the rest of the world, was smitten with a desire to see the Great Exhibition, and for this pur pose he travelled to London. How he went I do not know, but most likely he walked there. Behold him, then, one fine afternoon in his scarlet hunting•coat, white do hat, and leath ern i nex pr es sibles, knocking at the ‘.

LONDON, THURSDAY COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 22. (Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.) IN RE WILLIAMS. The bankrupt, William Williams, was a contractor of Ashford. This was the certificate meeting. The balance-sheet, from the 31st of December, 1846, to the 9th of July, 1851, shows the following :—Cre ditors, unsecured, 3,486/. ; mortgages, interest, and ground-rent, 3,455/. ; surplus Dec. 31, 1846, 6,580/. ; profits, 1 685/. ; household furniture, 1591.; property mortgaged, ♦alue estimated at 4,580/. ; Williams and Betts, being capital transferred to them, 4,8271. ; in terest on mortgages, 1,045/. ; losses, 3,6401. ; trade expenses, 35/. ; domestic, 9051. Mr. LA.WRANCE, who appeared for the assignees, offered no opposition. He said that it appeared at the commencement of the balance-sheet the bankrupt had a surplus of 6,5001., which consisted of a working plant, which was transferred to the new firm ; his partner, Mr. Betts, had also a capital. The firm of which the bankrupt was a member were contractors. Mr. Betts was the largest creditor by far, and he made no complaint. The working plant was well worth the money to the bankrupt if he had been al lowed to realise it himself. The losses arose from a Government contract to make extensive works at the harbour at Harwich, but the difficulties were so great that the partner, a gentleman of very great experi ence, insisted upon the works being discontinued, in stead of going on for an indefinite period, involving many more thousand pounds. The result was, that as the contract turned out so unfortunate, the bank rupt found himself in these difficulties. His draw• ings out had been very reasonable. The COMMISSIONER — There is not a satisfactory statement in the official assignee's report as to the books, but under all the circumstances the bankrupt is entitled to a cerficate of the second class. Jackson eventually declined to give up the name of that person. In his cross-examination the witness said that Falk ner, who was in bad health, had occupied Ivy Cottage three months before this transaction. He had gone with a horse and chaise to bring Falkner's wife from Kingston gaol, on the expiration of her imprisonment for the assault upon the officers at the time when her husband had made his escape at Ivy Cottage. Falk ner accompanied him on that occasion. John Gunn, sergeant in the police, G 8, said that after the first examination he had gone to Jackson's, and upon entering into conversation with him that person said, " I suppose you came about Falkner's business." His reply to this remark was, " I un derstand he bought the goods of you." Jackson thereupon added, " I suppose Falkner told you so." The witness said " No; I don't care so much about the selling, but what I want you to tell me is, who the thief is on Mr. Simpson's premises." Jackson re plied, " I did sell it to him, but as to the other ques tion, I shall think about it." A day was appointed for him to see Jackson again, but on the 21st of June he met him by chance in Leather-lane, when he asked him if he had considered the matter. Jackson said, " If Falkner comes it on me it will be all the worse for him; but as he has not, why should I bother about the other poor devil ?" Mr. PARRY, on behalf of Falkner, admitted that his client had been guilty of egregious folly in telling a wilful untruth, by at first denying that he had sold the foil to Usher, and then in keeping out of the way; but he submitted that his conduct subsequently was an ample atonement for those acts of foolishness. At the time that Falkner had efficted his escape from the officers he had been for some period in very ill health, and therefore it was by no means improbable but that his subsequent conceal ment had been the result of fear and timidity. When that feeling, however, had subsided, the prisoner had come forward like an honest man to meet the charge, and had not merely challenged Jackson to tell the truth, but had brought forward evidence to corrobo rate his own statement upon the subject. It was im possible to doubt that Falkner's original denial of having sold the foil to Usher had been the result of Jackson's threat when applied to by him to confirm his statement of the fact. Mr. BALLANTINE then made an eloquent address in favour of Jackson. The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence with great minuteness. The jury consulted for twenty minutes, and then returned a verdict of Not Guilty, as to both prisoners upon the count charging them with the theft, but they found Jackson Guilty of receiving the foil know ing it to have been stolen, and Acquitted Falkner on that count. The Learned JUDGE said he fully concurred in this verdict, and he hoped it would be a warning to Falk ner not again to purchase goods i❑ an unfinished state without making the inquiry. With respect to Jackson, he entertained not the least doubt but that he well knew the person from whom he had received the foil, and that he was a workman ; nor did he doubt that he had bad other transactions with the same man. What the Learned Counsel for that prisoner had said was perfectly true, namely, that if his client were found guilty, such a vercict would send him out of the country, and most certainly it would do so ; for that Court would in all cases where receivers were convicted, visit them with transportation, for the re ceivers were the great abettors of crime and produced more than one-half of the thefts which were com mitted. The sentence upon the prisoner was, trans portation for ten years. The trial occupied the whole of the day, and the court was most uncomfortably crowded from the com mencement until its termination. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Thomas Robert Mellish, manager, and James Douglas, clerk, to the Patent Silvering Glass Com pany, in Berners-stree, were brought up on a second charge of conspiring together to defraud the com pany. The previous charge against the prisoners, on which they stand committed, was for forging and uttering certain receipts for money with intent to de fraud the company. The case yesterday took the form of a charge of conspiracy against both prisoners, it being alleged that they had for a length of time acted in concert in charging a higher amount of wages to the corn pally than the actual amounts received by the work men. Mellish, as manager, bad the hiring of the workmen and the settling of the rate of wages they were to receive ; Douglas, as Mellish's clerk, bad the paying of the workmen, the money being given to him by the cashier on production of the wages-book. Mellish had constant access to the book, and, as it was subsequently discovered that the rate of wages to the workmen was entered in the book at a higher figure than the sums actually received by them, a charge of conspiracy was made against both in con sequence of the largeness of the amount fraudulently abstracted from the company, exceeding 3,0001., it being inferred that Mellish, from his position us ma nager, must have been cognizant of what was going on, notwithstanding Douglas had declared himself to be the only guilty party. Charles Case, silver mounter, in the employ of the company, said he was engaged at the wages of 225. a week. He was ill for seven weeks this year, during which period he was away from work, receiving no wages. In the wages-book a sum amounting to 71. was entered, as if paid to him during the time of his illness. He had not received any such sum. Benjami❑ Dean, the cashier, proved that he paid the prisoner Douglas the amount entered in the wages-book as having been received by the last witness. Samuel Perry, another workman, had been hired by Mellish at 20s. a week. Afterwards got a rise to 225. On the 22d of August last saw the wages book open, and noticed that he was down as receiving 245. a-week. Gave information to his employers, which led to an investigation, and the subsequent apprehen sion of the prisoners. Mr. Dean proved that he paid Douglas at the rate of 243. a week for the last witness. The prisoners reserved their defence and were fully committed on this charge. Eliza Cochrane was charged on suspicion of having been concerned with her husband in stealing 300 sove reigns, one 201. bank-note, six 51. notes, 800 francs in French money, and three notes of 100 francs each, the property of Mr. P. Duvelleray, fan maker, 167. Regent street. The prosecutor said the prisoner's husband was in his employ as porter. On Tuesday evening he ab sconded, and immediately afterwards the property above enumerated was missed. The prisoner's lodg ings were searched, and some small articles belonging to him were found. Police-constable Jarman, C 34, said he went to the prisoner's lodgings yesterday, and found her with her boxes packed up, and herself dressed ready to go out. She told him her husband had gone out, and would be back in half an hour. She said her husband desired her to pack up, as his uncle was ill, and they must go into the country directly. Witness waited half an hour, and then took the prisoner to the station-house, as there were articles of property in the lodgings iden tified by the prosecutor. The prisoner said, all she knew was that her hus band told her to pack up everything by the time he came home.—Remanded. WORSHIP-STREET. Richard Morgan and William George Stewart, and a middle-aged woman named Eliza Roberta, the two former well known to the police as practised utterers of base coin, were placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyn court upon numerous charges of the same description. The female prisoner's plan of operations was appa rently confined to defrauding surgeons, upon one of whom, a Mr. Sweetman, a surgeon in St. John-street, she called, and after purchasing a powder or pills, tendered base money in payment. The fraudulent coin was detected, and the prisoner transferred to Clerkenwell Police-court, but as neither the Mint nor the magistrates like to commit or prosecute for a single offence, which may possibly be purely accidental, she was discharged withont punishment, and a few days afterwards favoured Mr. Baker, a surgeon in Dorchester-place, New North-road, with a visit of a similar character, and again passed counterfeit coin upon him also. In this case she was likewise de tected and given into custody, and, the spurious coin having been fortunately preserved by the officer in the first charge, although she had been temporarily liberated upon it, she was now committed upon both charges. Morgan and Stewart appeared to act upon much the same plan, though somewhat different from the woman's ' • Morgan called at a wine- merc h ant ' s ware house on Oxford-terrace, Mile-end, and, ordering a quantity of refined spirits,tendered a base five-shillin, piece in payment. The coin was pronounced to be bed by the merchant's clerk, Mr. Joy, but the pri soner, with much effrontery, declared it to be good, and demanded his full change. Finding that he was likely, however, to be intrusted to the care of an officer if he stopped, he suddenly sneaked out and took rapidly to his heels, and was next heard of at the house of a baker in Whitechapel, of whom ho had or dered a loaf, and tendered bad money in payment. Green anti Macintosh, constables of the II division, produced both the fraudulent coins, and Morgan and Stewart, who had pursued so precisely the same course as to excite some suspicion that they acted in concert, and the latter with so much apparent since rity and ingenious indignation at such practises that he nearly escaped detection in one instance, were jointly committed to Newgate for trial upon four other charges. A PARTY OF BIGHFLYERS. Wild and daring as was the act, it is no less true that men's first attempts at a flight through the air were literally with wings. They conjectured that by elongating their arms with a broad mechanical covering, they could convert them into wings ; and forgetting that birds possess air cells, which they can inflate, that their bones are full of air instead of mar row, and, also, that they possess enormous strength of sinews expressly for this purpose, these desperate half. theorists have launched themselves from towers and other high places, and floundered down to the demolition of their necks or limbs, according to the obvious laws and penalties of nature. We do not allude to the Icarus of old, or any fabulous or remote aspirants, but to modern times. 'Wonderful as it may seem, there are some instances in which they escaped with only a few broken bones. Mil ton tells a story of this kind in his " History of Britain," the flying man being a monk of Malmsbury, "in his youth." He lived to be impudent and jocose on the subject, and attributed his failure entirely to his having forgotten to wear a broad tail of feathers. In 1742 the Marquis de Bacqueville announced that he would fly with wings from the top of his own house, on the Quai des Theatins, to the gardens of the Tuileries. He actually accomplished half' the distance, when, being exhausted with his efforts, the wings no longer beat the air, and he came down into the Seine, and would have escaped un hurt, but that he fell against one of the floating machines of the Parisian laundresses, and thereby fractured his leg. But the most successful of all these instances of the extraordinary, however misapplied, force of human energies and daring, was that of a certain citizen of Bologna, in the thirteenth cen tury, who actually managed with some kind of wing contrivance, to fly from the mountain of Bologna to the river Reno without injury. " Wonderful ! admirable !" cried all the the citizens of Bologna. " Stop a little," said the officers of the Holy Inquisi tion ; " this must be looked into." They sat in sacred conclave. If the man had been killed, said they, or even mutilated shockingly, our religious scruples would have been satisfied ; but, as he has escaped un hurt, it is clear that he must be in league with the devil. The poor " successful" man was therefore condemned to he burnt alive, and the sentence of the Holy Catholic Church was carried into Christian execution.—Dickens's" Household Words."

Orebo, 41, E division, si4id that on Tuesday night, 2S, 1851. at about a quarter to ten o'clock, he was on duty in 1 Cromer-street, when the prisoner's mother came to v,itness bleeding profusely- from a wound near her threat, and her ear was nearly bit off. She informed him that the prisoner returned home and demanded money of her, and on refusing to let him have it, he attacked her in a brutal manner and inflicted the in juries on her person with a knife. Witness instantly went and took the prisoner into custody, and locked him up, after a desperate resistance, in which he fought, bit, and kicked at witness, and he was now suffering severe pain from the violence of the prisoner. The witness added that the prisoner was an idle, skulking, profligate fellow, who had frequently been in custody, and imprisoned for similar assaults upon him, and he had only just been released from the House of Correction, where he had been confined two months under a conviction for having • stabbed his sister. His mother had her wounds dressed by a surgeon, but on this, as on other occasions, she de clined making her appearanee to prosecute. Mr. COMBE, however, determined on hearing the whole of the case, and decidir , on the charge of as sault upon the constable. Mr. COMBB—What have you to say to the charge ? Prisoner (sullenly)--Nothing. Mr. COMBS sentenced him to one month's im prisonment, with hard labour, in the House of Cor rection. Clara Pairling, the young woman who was charged with attempting suicide by cutting her throat with a penknif-, and remanded, was again placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt for final examination. It will be recollected that the prisoner was housemaid in the service of Mr. Smith, of Palatine-house, Stoke New ington. She exhibited obstinacy of temper, and im pertinently refused to obey the orders of Miss Smith, her young mistress, when she received notice to quit her situation, and she was subsequently found in her bedroom with her throat cut, having inflicted a wound with a penknife, and her person was covered with blood. A doctor was called in and he dressed the wound, and she was given into custody. The prisoner's mother, a respectable looking woman, attended in grief. Mr. TYR;FiITT, in a feeling address to the pri soner, said it was a most lamentable and melancholy thing to find a decent girl like the prisoner making such a rash attempt upon her life. He did hope dur ing her imprisonment she had reflected upon the wickedness of the act she had committed, and would shun such an attempt in future and go home with her mother. The prisoner said she had reflected properly on her offence; she was very sorry, and would not re peat it. Mr. TYRWHITT—Then go home with your mother. I shall discharge you now ; and keep to your promise. She then left with her mother. SOUTHWARK. Joseph Nye was charged with wilfully administer ing poison to Ann Gadding. Sergeant Wright, M division, stated that the woman Godding was so seriously ill from the effects of the poison alleged to have been administered to her that she was rendered incapable of attending the exa mination, and was at present under medical treat ment. The sergeant then proceeded to state, that from information he received on the previous day re specting the affair, he went to the prisoner's lodgings and found that he was absent. He (the sergeant), however, waited about the neighbourhood and suc ceeded in taking him into custody late on the previous night. When he apprised the prisoner of the nature of the charge against him, and said that it was for administering poison to Ann Godding, his answer was—" Ob, it was only done in a lark. There were others in the room when it occurred, and no harm was intended." The circumstances attending the offence with which the prisoner is charged occurred on Monday ; on which day, about two o'clock, the prisoner called at the woman Godding's lodgings, in Dclf-street, Kent-street. On entering the room where she was, he took a raspberry tart out of his pocket, and, offering it to her, invited her to take it. She at first refused, but upon his pressing her she was at length induced to comply, and in his presence partook of the greater part of it. The prisoner remained there, and in about half-an-hour after she had eaten the tart he asked her how she felt. She replied that she felt nausea or sickness at the stomach, and a nasty taste in her mouth. His remark to that was, " You will feel a good deal worse before you are better ;" and then added, " I have only given you a Spanish fly and a half." Soon afterwards she became so alarm ingly ill that the people in the house were compelled to send for a medical gentleman, who pronounced that she was labouring under the effects of cantharides, and if immediate steps had not been taken to neutra lise the effects of the poison, there was little doubt but it would have proved fatal. As it was, the poor woman was much debilitated from the quantity she had taken, hut was considered much better, and would be enabled to attend the next examination. Mr. BINGHAM asked the prisoner whether he wished to say anything in answer to the alleged charge, which was one of a very serious nature ? The priso ner replied that at present he should decline making any defence, and he was remanded. raw.

(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates, at Clerkenwell.) The Court sat this morning to take what are deno minated " bail cases," of which there were eight in the paper of the day. Charles Falkner, a merino store dealer, with a shop, on Eyre-street-hill, and W. Thomas Jackson, also a marine storekeeper in Turnmill-street, Clerkenwell, were indicted, charged with having stolen, and also for having feloniously received, forty pounds weight of tinfoil, of the value of 21., the property of Messrs. Simpson and Emsley, of Union-buildings, Gray's Inn-lane. Mr. Huddleston and Mr. O'Brien conducted the case for the prosecution; Mr. Parry and Mr, Met calfe defended the prisoner Falkner; and Mr. Ballan tine appeared for Jackson. It appeared from the evidence that on the 9th of June last two detective officers of the G division, of the names of Fisher and Archer, were on duty in Gray's Inn-lane, when their attention was arrested by a cart which belonged to a man named Usher, a dealer and collector of cld metal. A quantity of old lead and brass were apparently in the cart. They made a search in the cart, when they discovered about 40 pounds of tinfoil covered over, which was in an unfinished state. Having some anspicion that all was not right as to the way in which Usher had obtained possession of the foil, they informed him that he must consider himself in their custody. After a little in quiry it was ascertained that the foil was the pro perty of the present prosecutors, from whose premiss those gentlemen suspected it had been stolen. Al though they were not able to fix upon any particular date at which the robbery had been committed, yet they were of opinion that it must have been between the 7th and 9th of June. Upon Usher being taken before the magistrate, he stated that he had purchased the foil from a person named Falkner, at his shop, in the regular way of business, and that the price he had paid for it had been 7d. per pound, and then he called Falkner forwards as a witness in sup port of this statement, but that person totally denied having had anything to do with the foil, and there fore that he had ever sold it to him. Usher, having heard this denial with astonishment, asserted that he could prove the fact by witnesses if the magistrate would adjourn the inquiry. A remand of the case was therefore accorded. Usher was liberated on biil, and Falkner ordered to be in attendance on the day ap - pointed for the second hearing. Falkner, however, failed to perform his promise, and when his name was called there was no reply. From that period, not withstanding the officers, as well as Usher himself, were in search of him, he was not heard anything of until the 22d of the month, when he was discovered living at Ivy Cottage, Camberwell, where it was stated he was residing on account of his health. The police having obtained a clue to the locality where he was residing, set a watch upon the movements of Falkner's wife, and on Saturday night, the 3d of July, followed her in a chaise to the cottage at Cam berwell. Having traced his wife to this cottege, the two officers entered it, and found Falkner, his wife and family, and a Jew, at supper. Falkner, on being told that he was to consider himself in custody, and that it was their intention to convey him to the sta tion in Lock's-fields, requested that they would per mit him to go there in his own chaise. This request the officers assented to, and as Archer was in the act of conducting him out of the cottage by the front door Falkner managed to give him the slip ; and then, when'Fisher tried to intercept him, he was attacked by Mrs. Falkner and the Jew, whereupon Falkner effected his escape. Mrs. Falkner and the Jew were subsequently committed to Kingston gaol for this assault, the latter for a fortnight and the wife for a month. Falkner contrived to evade the vigi lance of the police until the 15th of September, on which day he gave notice, through his attorney, Mr. Wontner, that it was his intention to surrender and meet the charge. Before that act of surrender, how ever, had been accomplished Falkner was apprehended by a sergeaat of the G division, when walking in Holborn. ‘V hen the prisoner was afterwards brought before the magistrate he stated that he had purchased the foil in question of a person of the name of Jackson, and that he had paid as much as 61d. a pound for it. He then called upon Jack • son to corroborate his statement. That person refused to do anything of the sort, or even to be sworn ; but a man of the name of Bright having been then called up he declared that he had been a witness to the sale of the foil by Jackson and to the purchase i of it by Falkner. This witness added, that this transaction had taken place in the open shop of Falkner, whither the foil bad been taken by Ja c k son . With reference to Jackson, the chief points against him were, his having stated that he knew the person from whom he had received the foil, and that it could not be identified, as the goods were in an unfinished state ; and then the fact of his having refused to give up the name of that individual. The stolen property was unquestionably identified as belonging to the prosecutors, and it was proved that its value in its present unfinished state was not less than ls. ld. per lb. Usher, on being now called, stated that upon the day on which he had made the purchase of this foil of Falkner, the latter had been sent for by the former to fetch away some metal from his shop in Eyre -street hill. He went at dusk, and among the articles he bought of him on that occasion was this tinfoil, for which he paid lid. per lb. He bought the articles in the customary way over the counter while two other persons were present. Cross-examined—He had bad dealings with Falk ner for about 10 months prior to this particular trans action. He bought some pewter pots as well as the tinfoil, and he considered that he had given a fair market price for all the articles. The tinfoil he had considered not to be at all superior in quality to the best pewter. He had been a dealer m old metal for 10 or 12 years. It was the custom of the trade for one dealer in old metals to sell to another, even though it were only at a profit of ls. per cwt. The amount of the purchase he made of Falkner on this occasion was 61. 18s. 11d. He was in the company of the officers when they followed Mrs. Falkcer in the horse and chaise from Eyre-street-hill to Ivy Cottage, Camberwell. The wife was also in a chaise. It was about midnight on the 3d of July. At the time he was before the magistrate in the month of September Falkner confessed that he had bought the foil of Jackson, and that he had sold it to him self. Falkner also called upon Jackson to corrobo rate his statement as to this fact, but that person re fused to be sworn. He had used every effort to ob tain the apprehension of Falkner with a view to the clearance of his own character. W. Eyares, lately the proprietor of the Red Lion yard Ale NS, Clerkenwell, proved having been present when Falkner purchased the foil of Jackson ; and further, that after Usher had been apprehended he had accompanied Falkner to Jackson's, to whom, when they saw the former, he communicated the fact of the person having been taken into custody to whom he had sold the metal, and he then requested that Jackson would tell him the name of the party of whom he had bought it, for if he were himself to be called upon he would be obliged to say whom he had purchased it from. Jackson said, "If you do I shall deny it, and you will only get yourself into trouble. The foil was in an unfinished state, and they cannot tell where it came from, or identify it." Jackson in the conversa tion also added that he knew whom he had got it of— the person who had had the metal to finish—but as it was not in a finished state it could not be sworn to. SHIP SEWS.
