SUGAR.—To-day the West India Sugar market was firm, and at previous rates the home trado demand was good and general. The purchases were 675 which sold at 33s to 34s for ord and mid yellow, good to fine brown 321 to 32s 6d, 19 s l3hris 8 trcs Jamaica, brown 31s to 32s 6d, mid yellow 35s 6d 53 trey and 12 brls Trinidad, low and mid yellow 33s to 345, good to fine brown 32s to 32s 6d, and 32 pkgs Barbadoes ; brown 32s 01 to 335, and low mid yellow 31s 6d to 34s 6d. REFINED.—To-day there was a good business con cluded in Refined Sugar by home dealers, but there ap peared to be a desire to sell brown lumps at 44s 6d to 455, common tittlers 453 to 453 6d per cwt. The market for Crushed has a dull aspect. MAURITIUS. —This afternoon the demand was deci dedly better for Mauritius Sugar, the parcel offered at auction was large, and amounted to 11,120 bags, still all sold and full rates were obtained, brown went at 29s to 32s 6d, low yellow 33s to 33s 6d, mid 34s to 355, better sorts 35s 6d to 375, fine 37s 6,1 to 395; and Refining sorts 32s to 383. _ Fti EAST INDIA.—This afternoon of Bengal Sugar 3,000 bags were offered at auction, and about half was with drawn, the remainder sellieg at firm prices; mid and good mid grainy yellow went at 40s to 41s 6:1; good white Benares 40s to 41s 6-1; soft yellow 33s to 35s 6d; and brown ditto 28s. Of Madras 6,565 bags mostly sold at and after the sale at fall rates; grainy brown went at 33s to 34s 6d, mid to fine grocery a-ts 6d to 395, and good soft yellow 325. FOREIGN.—To-day full rates were demanded for Foreign Sugar, but the private operations were upon a small scale, and none was offered at auction, at rather lower terms there appears to be several buyers. MoLassEs.—Only a small business has been effected in West India, notwithstanding the low prices paid, and only 150 puns changed hands at 14s to 15s for Antigua, and 12s to 13s 6cl for other kinds. Bengal and Mauri tius are dull of sale, and cannot be quoted above Its 6d. In Porto Rico and Cuba we have no ssles to report, and 13s to 133 6d is the nearest value. Few samples of West India Honey are on show, bat there are several inquiries made for the article from 383 to 58s for low to fine. COFFEE.—To-day prices were firm for Native Ceylon Coffee, still the private operations were limited at 393 to 403 for good, and none was offered at auction. Plantation is not to be obtained at a further decline but the market has a quiet aspect. At auction 50 barrels and 17 bags were sold; tine went at 63s 6d to 70s; mid and good 53s to 58s 6d; other sorts 44s tld to 49s 6d, and pea berry 62s 9 d. Of Mysore 73 brls and 65 bags sold at fair rates; mid and low mid 50s to 563; good to fine ord 42s to 465; Pea berry 58s 6d; Tryage 35s 6d; and damaged 40 s to 424. Of Foreign Coffee little was done privately. Cocoa ......There is a reluctance to purchase British Plantation, and the rates accepted are rather under last week, ther e b e i ng a f a i r supply. At auct i on, of 308 b ags T idad a small part only sold; good to fine red 45s to 503, common and middling 41s to 44s 6cl, grey 38s to 40s, and damaged 31s to 41s. The value of Grenada is 35s to 403, with few buyers. Foreign has been sold to a fair extent; Ba'nia and Para at 26s to 275, and Guaya quil 30s to 91s. Holders manifest firmness. TEA..—Althoug Congo u is offered at rather lower rates; yet the demand for home consumption has been small; and the export orders executed have been trifling; whilst supply is even larger than last week. Priess are low and ord new rule at 80 to 90, good ord 9.1e1 to 1 ed. medium to rath er strong backish leaf sorts lqd to lid, and better kinds 1 lid to is 63 per lb. A further reduction h as taken Vac() fur Souchons , : tr a nsactions have been small, and th ere i s a plentiful supply ; for love' and mid the rates taken are 9d to Is; good to fine 13 id to is 9(1 ; superior is 10d to 2s 2d. In Oolong sales sales have been small; prices are also on the decline, and there is an increasin g supply, the present value is from 1 1:1 to Is 4d, and is sct to is 7d for fine. The market for green remains in a unfavourable position; supplies far exceed dealers' 'ants, and the limited transactions have been at rather lower quotations; medium sorts being least in request, of which the recent arrivals have bean heavy. For lo w and mid Hyson the present value is Is to is 4d; good to fine is 5d to 2s 8d; choice 24 10d to 3s; Young Hyson, good to fine is 7d to 2s 9d; low to mid 103 to is 6d; itne porial Canton 10d to is 3d; Hyson kind is 4d to 2s 7d; Gunpowder ls,3d to 3s 6d; Canton, made 8d to is 2d; and Twaukay, groin :loci to is 2d. Other Teas have been .~~ - ~..-- , .:. _ -.--•-.....--'''''''' THE SUN, LONDON, operated in with reluctance; and there are sellers of Flowery Pekoe of ord quality at 15 2d to is sd; mid to good is 7d to 2a 6d; choice, 2s 8d to 3s; Caper, in boxes, 10d to is 2d, scented ditto is Id to is sd; Orange Pekoe plain 10d to Is 6d, and scented ditto is 3d to 2s per lb. Of 16,700 pckgs Tea offered at auction this week, 5,500 found buyers, consisting chiefly of small boxes of Gunpowder. EICB.—To-day East India Rice was in better demand; and at public sale 4,334 bgs Bengal were nearly all sold at full terms; good mid and good white realised 9s to 9s 6d, mid 8s 6d to 9d, and damaged 5s 6d to 9s per cwt. SPICES.—To-day at auction 1,358 bags Malabar Pep per were sold at full rates, and went as 3-id to Sid, but chiefly at 3id; damaged 2id to ald. Of Wild Nutmegs 9 chests sold at 9d; 135 cases Malabar Ginger realised 335 to 35s for ord home trade sort; 67 cases 30 bags Cochin 315 to 43s 6d for ord to mid, these are again lower. SPIRITS.—There are now few buyers of Leeward Island Ram. prices, however, remain at is 5d to is 6d per gallon proof, on account of a small supply. East India has been operated in with reluctance; and merchants appear disposed to sell at is 3cli to is 4d proof there being several parcels near at hand. In De merara operations are upon a limited scale at 2s to 23 4d for 30 to 40 per cent over proof, and a decline is anticipated. Shippers or home dealers are reluctant to operate in Jamaica : —We quote fine 34 to 38 over proof at 3s 2d to 4s 4d; good mid to good 32 to 37 over 2s 9d to 3e; low and mid 30 to 35 over 2s 5d to 2s Bcl per gall. Small sales have been again made in Havannah at is 2d to is 2id proof. An increase is apparent in the demand for Brandy, and the market has assumed a firm appear ance. Sales of Cognac best Brands of the vintage of 1850 have been made at 4s 4d to 4s 63, 1849 ditto 4s Gcl to 4s Bd, 1848 ditto 4s lld to 5s Id, older 5s 4d to 6s 6d; low and mid 2s 6d to 3s Gd; Bordeaux 2s 2d to 2s 3d. In Geneva sales to a fair extent have been made at is 7d to is Bd, and fine is 9d to 2s. For British made Spirit, the value is 9s 5d to 9s 6:1, net cash; and Gin 2s 6d for exportation. with a firm market. INDIGO.—The quantity of East India to be offered on the 7th of next month has been increased to 19,109 chts, which is greater than was expected. With Spanish the market continues to be freely supplied, and prices declined ld to 2 d per lb for the lower qualities, but better sorts generally sustained the previous currency, Of Guatemala 747 srns were offered, and about two-thirds sold ; the sales passed off heavily. The qualities consisted chiefly of low to good and fine. Prices rule as follows ; very low copper and coppery Cortes 2s 2d to 3s Id, mid and good 35 4d to 4s 63, and a few fine to extra fine 4s 8d to 5s 4d per lb.

MAIDSTON.E.-Our duties as hop reporters are now rapidly drawing to a close. Picking will commence in many parts within a week ; indeed in some places we hear a beginning has already been made, and, in anticipation of employment, hundreds of Irish and other wandering labourers are flocking into this neighbourhood. The late winds have bruised the hops considerably; many of the grounds resemble what may be supposed to be the appearance of a field of battle after a severe combat, in which every tenth man has been laid low. Besides the injury resulting from this rough usage, the cold has checked the development of the hops, and must be against the duty. On this latter point the opinions we bear are very contra dictory. Some are strongly of opinion that it is overset at 100,000/., while others, taking into conside ration the late winds, insist on the probability of its reaching 115,000/. This knotty point can scarcely now be settled till picking commences, and the " yield" is ascertained. BARMING.—Our hops were going on well, but the wind has taken off all their beauty. The cold nights and the wind, I calculate, has lessened the duty quite 10,000/. EAST FARLEIGH.--The late winds and cold nights have been very,injurious to the plantations. Thousands of poles have been thrown down, and all hands have been engaged in endeavouring to put matters to rights. The cold has evidently checked their growth ; 1 and we should imagine that a considerable per centage has been taken off the duty. WEST FARLEIGH AND YALDING.—The high winds have sadly battered the plantations. From the early state of the hops just coming out the injury has been more severe. The quality has also suffered. The cold nights have prevented the backward hops from coming out, and shut up the forward ones. The growth of 1851 will therefore be much less than was estimated, nor will the quality be so fine. LOOSE.—We look, as I expected, the worse for the winds of the past week, which, followed by cold nights, will no doubt stop all further growth of the backward hops, but most of our grounds are got well into full sized clean hops, and must be a good sample. All further cultivation is now at an end ; all we have to do is to keep the poles up and wait ten or twelve days and commence the last out door operation-- " picking." You will hear no more from me till I can inform you how they come down. LINTON.— Our hops have improved very much up to the time we had the wind ; it has seriously injured many pieces and battered them about so that those that are not out will never get out. AYLESEORD.—The hops in this parish improved during the warm weather, and may probably average to the acre—still, should a continuance of cold nights prevail they will not grow out, and we think the flea will do much mischief to the crop. WATERINGBURY AND NETTLESTEAD.—The effects of the gale a week ago now begin to be seen in the bruised state of the hops—the late cold and wind has also checked their growth. MEREWORTIIo—Our hops are looking well. In some grounds they talk of a ton per acre. Some grounds are short of bine. The parish through is estimated to grow 8 or 10 hundred per acre. WROTHAM (Town District).—The recent warm weather forced out a few hops on the black bines where none was expected, and the better ones im proved ; but it is not unlikely that here, as well as in: many other districts, the improvement may ba over rated, and the cold and wind of the lest few days have quite balanced the account, and left them about " as they were." icIARDEN.—The hops in some grounds continue to improve, but the cold weather is very unfavourable for them. STAPLEHURST.—The high winds during the past week have battered the hops in exposed situations, and the cold has retarded the progress they were making. CnANßßoox.—The wind which has been " blow ing great guns" for two or three days during the past week has battered the plantations considerably, and has had the effect of defacing the beauty of their appearance, but we do not think any diminution of duty has been effected thereby. Besides being windy we have had a colder atmosphere, and the flowers have not made that progress which they are wont to do in more genial weather; they are, how ever, obtaining condition daily, and are already possessed of that delightful aromatic fragrance for which they are so highly celebrated. picking will commence :on or about Monday next, Sept. 6, in the forward grounds, and although we think it is quite probable that, though generally looking well to the eye, they will perhaps be overset, as is very often the case in good grounds in a blighting season, still we shall grow a very fair crop for the year ; and as we have stated all along, we believe the duty will exceed 100,900/. RoLTENDEN.—Our hops are about the same as last week. The winds have injured them quite equal to the late improvement. TICEHURST.—The late winds have blown our hops about considerably, particularly in exposed situations. The crop must be a short one, and from present ap pearances we shall get about 5 cwt. per acre. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The receipts yesterday amounted to 2,1371. 18s., the number of visitors being 44,209. There were no less than five schools in and around the metropolis present, and the paupers of St. George's, Southwark, were also kindly treated to a view of the Crystal Palace. The mean temperature in the interior of the building during the day, according to Bennett's thermometers, was 67.6. DEATH OF THE AUTHOR OF "PERAULT." In this day's obituary we have to record the death of Mr. Robert Kennoway Ross, writer, a gentleman well known in the literary world from his numerous con tributions to the magsaines and other periodicals of the day. Mr. Ross is best known as the author of a cleverly written and very popular Indian tale, ea titled " Perault, or Slaves and their Masters," which originally appeared in Tail's Magazine; but his numerous productions in various departments of litera ture were all of a superior order, and displayed a genius of more than ordinary brilliancy. In his profession as a writer and procurator before the Glasgow, Airdrie, and Hamilton Courts, Mr. Ross at one time occupied a most respectabie position; but his love of literary pur suits so frequently interfered with his professional duties as a lawyer, that for many years his legal acquirements were less in requisition, and a consequent falling off in his pecuniary means was the ruinous results of his labours. Mr. Ross, it may be surmised, from his protracted illness, and the circumstances already adverted to, has finished his career, like many brighter geniuses, in poverty and neglect, leaving a widow and helpless little family to la mament the loss or a kind and affectionate husband, father, and friend. These remarks are offered in the hope that they may meet the eye of some of his old friends, who, we doubt not, would gladly contribute to raise a stone to his memory; but his works will be his best monument, and his memory will live in the hearts of those who knew him best, in his earlier and happier days. Instead of a stone, however, to his memory, we think it would bu a more fitting tribute, that a subscrip tion should be raised for supplying with bread the widow and helpless children of his undeviating attachment. Should this serve the purpose intended by the writer of this notice, his object is gained.—Glasgow Chronicle. DEATH CAUSED BY A LUNATIC. An inquest. was held at the Kent County Lunatic Asylum on Wednesday last, before F. F. Dully, Esq., coroner, on the body of John Hubble, 76, a patient at the above asylum, whose death was caused under the followieg circumstances:— William Faucett, a keeper at the asylum, deposed the deceased was under my charge in No. 11 ward, en the middle floor. Ila was quiet and harmless. At a few minutes before six o'clock on the morning of Saturday, the 9th of August, just after I came on duty, as I was in the act of changing my clothes in my own room, I heard an unusual noise and a call for the keepers. I ran immediately and un lccked the door of No. 13, the room in which deceased and nine others were, and when I opened the door I saw Henry Hills, a patient, beating the deceased, who was lying in bed, in a murderous way with the tin chamber utensil on the head. I saw only one blow struck, as I immediately interfered, and, upon my going towards them, Hills threatened me with the utensil ; but upon my remonstrating with him, ho threw it down, and came into the middle of the room very quietly, and did not speak or offer to strike any of the others. Thu deceased was lying in the bed apparently suffering from the blow he had received. The blow that I saw struck was a very violent one, so much so that the handle flew off by the concussion; the tin pot I now produce was in Hill's hand, and covered with fresh blood. There were two other pots, which were also wet with blood, and the handles broken off. I ran for assistance, when three keepers arrived, and Hills was locked up, Mlle and deceased had been sleeping in the same room for the last two or three months, and I had seen them daily during the time and I saw no quarrel between them. Dr. Huxley, medical superintendent at the asylum, deposed en the day of the occurrence I asked the deceased who had struck him, and he said i t was Hills. He stated that he had given Hills no provocation, and that he com menced the blows whilst he (deceased) was asleep, and he should think he must have struck him forty timee. When I saw Hills, immediately after quitting the de ceased, he seemed very much depressed. I asked him how he came to do it, and he answered, "It was the work of God." I consider it to have been an act of pure insanity, and judging from his condition, I did not consider him to be in a responsible state of mind at the time.

GUNNING EXTRAORDINARY.—The coast-guard men of the stations on the Lyme Regis District had some excel lent practice, before Sir James Brook and a numerous party, on Thursday last, on the big gun, at the battery westward of the harbour. The target having been laid in the water at a guess, the first two shots were thrown away to ascertain the distance, which being found to be 700 yards, the firing com menced. Ten shots were then fired in succession, and, though the " captain" of the gun was changed at each shot, the whole ten hit the target, and each one so effectively as to render it necessary to replace the target three times dur ing the firing of the ten shots , . The party also witnessed the performance of the lower-deck exercise, quick firing with blank cartridges, shifting breachings and trucks, and hand spike drill ; and expressed themselves highly delighted at the skill displayed.—Poole Herald.

SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.—It is stated that notice has been given that the portion of this line, extend ing from Gloucester to the Chepstow Bridge, will be ready for the Government inspector on the 12th. The bridge not having been completed, we under stand that the directors have entered into a contract for the conveyance of passengers over the river. THE NARROW GAUGE TO BRISTOL.—The Midland Railway Company appear at last determined to do away with the break of gauge to Gloucester, by con tinuing the narrow gauge from that city to Bristol. This company, as our readers may remember—after repeated applications to Parliament, and in spite of the determined opposition of the Great Western Company—succeeded in carrying a Bill, empowering them to run a narrow gauge line of rails along the present line ; and in order to do this they must buy a strip of land, from Gloucester to Stonehouse, of the Great Western Company. —Bath Gazette. VALE OF NEATH RAILWAY.—Mr. Brunel, the engineer, has announced to the Railway Commis sioners of the Board of Trade that this line will be ready for the inspection of the Government officer on the 12th inst. Its public opening will therefore take place in the course of the following day or so. It was thought that the recent steps would have de layed it, but those difficulties have been overcome. PROJECTED RAILWAY.—A scheme is now in con templation to furnish a more direct line of railway communication through Upper West Kent and Lower North Kent than is at present afforded by the South- Eastern routes. Maidstone is proposed to be on the contemplated new line. The omnibuses which run 14 times daily between that town and Strood are crowded every trip, the passengers preferring that route to the metropolis to the expensive and circuitous journey by rail via Paddock %%Tood. If a new through line could be formed, it is said that a branch could be constructed, and without any large expense, from the Strood ter minus of the North Kent to Maidstone. WINDING UP OE RAILWAYS AND JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES.—The two important questions connected with the law of liability on this subject, namely, as to the validity of calls upon contributories, and as to whether companies not completely registered come within the operations of the Act, having yet to be settled, the whole process of winding .up in that par ticular point is at present at a perfect stand still. RAILWAY COMMUNICATION BET WEEN PIEDMONT AND SWITZERLAND.—The Patriole Saroisien states that a company of Swiss, Italian, and English engi neers have been studying the best means of opening a communication by rail, as short as possible, by the St. Gothard or the St. Bernard. It seems that they have discovered a passage from the Vallais to the Val d'Aosta, which will only require a tunnel of three kilometres. FLEET WOOD, PRESTON, AND WEST RIDING RAIL WAY.—The agreement between this company and the Preston and Longridge Company proposes that the shareholders in the latter company shall receive 6-7 ths of the clear profits of the railway in lieu of the pre sent rent charge, and that the shareholders in the for mer shall receive 1-7th, the line to continue under its present management. - RAILWAY ENTERPRISE IN AMERICA.--A committee of gentlemen of Louisiana and Mississippi, appointed for the purpose, have issued a circular, in which they propose a convention of delegates from the states of Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio, to unite with the people of Louisiana and New Orleans, to deliberate upon and concert such measures as will be likely speedily to influence the construction of a system of railroads connecting the Gulf States with those of the west and north-west, and radiating throughout all the interior. They also invite delegates from others of the Southern states, in order more fully to understand the systems of work projected or being carried out by them, and to co operate in the construction of any which may have an interest joint and common to all. It is proposed that this convention shall be held on the first Monday in January next, at New Orleans. BIG SALMON.—This is really proving a season likely to be distinguished from past as from future seasons by the number of salmon of uncommonly large size which it has yielded. We have already chronicled the cepture of a fish 451 b., i n th e S pe y ; o f one 401 b., in the }indhorn ; in the Beauly one of 291 b. was lately taken with the fly; of large till in the Moray Firth ; of monsters in the northern streams, and now, to can all, it is recorded that in a bag net near Macduft, about a mile and a half from the mouth of the Peveron, a salmon was caught a few days ago of the extra ordinary weight of 531 b. This fish may be looked upon as the king of the year, f or we suspect a heavier one is not likely soon to be taken.

MEETING of MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. There was a numerous tneetinse of the Inseistreees for the county of Middlesex held on Tnureuay at the Sessions-house, Clerken well, for the dispatch of county business. Mr. Pownall, presided, as usual, as chairman. THE SESSIONS-HOUSE (GUILDHALL) AT WESTMINSTER. Mr. Sergeant ADAMS directed the attention of the Court to certain alterations which were required to be made at the Guildhall, Westminster, in reference to the reception and safe custody of the prisoners to be tried at the sessions held at that place under the re cent Act, and also for the better accommodation of the public. The Learned Sergeant then moved the appointment of a committee to take the matter into consideration, and to order and to carry out such alterations as they might find necessary. Mr. JOSIAH WILSON seconded the motion, which was at once agreed to. THE CORONERS' ACCOUNTS. The report of the Committee of Accounts and for General Purposes stated that the accounts of the coroners; had been examined, and that the commit tee recommended that the following payments should he made :—To Mr. Baker, for 92 inquisitions, held between the 28th of June and the 21st of August, 2911. ss. ld. To Mr. Bedford for 44 inquisitions, held between the Ist of June and the 31st of July, 1271. 14s. 4d. In three cases the fees of this coroner were disallowed, upon the ground that there had been no cause or necessity for the particular inquisitions to have been held. To Mr. Wakley for 150 inquisi tions, held between the 23d of June and the 18th of August, 540/. Os. Bd., less the fees in two cases. In reference to the several inquests held by Mr. Wakley, the payment for which had been deferred at the last county meeting for the obtainment of further in formation as to the propriety or necessity of such inquests being held, the committee now recommended that the fees upon nine of those inquisitions should be paid, but that the fees upon the remaining five should be disallowed. The recommendations of the committee were adopted, and the report was agreed to. STATE OF THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION, COLDBATIF. FIELDS. The report of the visiting justices of the House of Correction having been read, it appeared that the average number of prisoners in confinement in that gaol during the last month had been 1,155, and that the number at present in custody within its walls was 1,178, of worn 698 were felons, 370 were misdemean ants, and 110 were vagrants. It also appeared from the reports of the chaplains to the visiting justices, that they had in several instances been successful in their interposition in behalf of prisoners on their dis charge from prison. In some cases the prisoners had been received into various charitable institutions, and others had been reconciled to and received back by their parents or former employers. The report was received and adopted. STATE OF THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION, WESTMINSTER. The report of the visiting justices of the House of Correction, Westminster, set forth that the number of prisoners at present in confinement therein was 629—namely, male felons and misde meanants, 172; and male vagrants, 50; total, 222. Female felons and misdemeanants, 381 ; and female vagrants, 26—total, 407 ; thus constituting the gross total of 629. The report then went on to say that " In reference to the alterations at the prison, which were sanctioned by the Court on the ' County-day' of last February sessions, and which were commenced on the sth of May, and whereby it was intended, amongst other things, to effect the desirable ob jects of discontinuing the use of the large dormitories, and instead thereof of providing separate sleeping accommodation for every prisoner, on the principle adopted by the Government at the convict prison at Portland, the visiting justices have to state that in consequence of Captain Williams, the Inspector of Prisons for the Home District, having on the 26th of July made several objections to the plans, they imme diately after wards suspended the works, and submitted the plans under the Act 2 and 3 Victoria, c. 56, 5.12, to the approval of the Secretary of State for the Home Department, under whose consideration the same now remain." Much regret was expressed by several of the magis trates that the Government Inspector should have stopped the further progress of this work, especially as the plans were in reality based upon the principles which had been approved and directed by the Govern ment instructions; and Mr. KEMSHEAD said, he the more lamented the proceeding because, if Captain Williams had disap proved the proposed alterations, he ought, as one of the Government inspectors, to have interfered in the first instance ; but the truth was the works in ques tion were in accordance with the principle and the plans of the Government. Mr. Rove a remarked that this interference appeared under the circumstances to be so extraordinary, and was in truth so prejudicial to the interests of the county and its prison, that he should move that the report be printed and circulated in the usual manner, and then be taken into consideration at the next county meeting. The motion having been seconded was agreed to. STATE OF THE HOUSE OF DETENTION. The visiting justices of this prison stated, that " the daily average number of prisoners since Midsummer last has been 168, and this day in custody there are 150 males and 48 females, making a total of 198, con sisting of the following classes—namely, for trial at Westminster, 77 (tried in the early part of the pre sent week) ; for trial at Clerken well, 32 ; for re-ex amination, 54 ; for want of bail 32 ; on summary orders, 1 ; deserters, 2 ; total, 198." The report was received and adopted. THE COLNEY HATCH LUNATIC ASYLUM. The report of the Committee of Visitors of the Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum was then read. The report having been received and adopted, On the motion of Mr. BOTCH, seconded by Mr. JOSIAH WILSON, it was ordered that the county treasurer make the advances asked by the committee. A mortgage of county rates for 20,0001. for the purposes of the same asylum, pursuant to the resolu tion passed on the last County-day, was then executed. It will be in the recollection of our readers that the Court, at its last sitting, ordered that the county treasurer should make a return to the Court of the sums of money he bad paid on account of, and in connexion with the erection of, the Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum. The Deputy Clerk of the Peace now laid that re turn before the Court, from which it appeared that, up to the date of that document, the sums paid amounted to 231,767/. 15s. 2d., which amount was this day increased by 41,000/.—namely, by the exe cution of the above mortgage of the county rates for an amount of 20,0001. voted on a former occasion, and a further amount now voted of 21,0001., thereby making the total cost, up to the present time, to be 272,7671. 15e. 2d. Mr. ARMSTRONG moved—" That this return be printed and circulated amongst the magistracy and the different parish officers throughout the county." The Rev. THEODORE WILLIAMS seconded the motion. A prolonged and somewhat warm discussion arose upon this motion, in the course of which Mr. KEMSHEAD, chairman of the Committee of Ac counts and for General Purposes, proposed as an amendment, "That the return be not printed," upon the ground that the return in its present form, and without any details or explanation, was only calculated to mislead. This view of the question having been taken by Mr. Rotch, Mr. V. Knight, and other magistrates, upon a division being taken the motion was lost. Mr. DEVON then moved, by way of amendment on the proposition of Mr. Kemshead, " That the return be printed and circulated among the magistrates." The amendment having been seconded, another long and desultory discussion ensued. The amendment was eventually lost, having been opposed upon the same grounds as Mr. Armstrong's motion, and Mr. Kemshead's proposal for the non printing of this or any return until the whole expense had been ascertained, was then put and agreed to. Mr. ROTCH then moved, pursuant to notice— " That the sum of 21,0001., to be raised by way of mortgage on the county rates, be granted by the Court for the payment of the costs and expenses in curred, and to be incurred, by the Committee of Visitors of the Lunatic Asylum at at Colney Hatch, for the completion of the same," and in doing so, entered into a detail of the precise purposes for which the money eves required. Mr. J. WILSON seconded the motion. Mr. DEVON said he had been entrusted by Colonel T. Wood with the conduct of an amendment, of which that gallant magistrate, who was compelled to be out of town, had given notice, to the following ef effect :—" That an exact estimate be afforded to the Court of the charges to which the 21,000/. proposed to be voted at the next County-daylare to be appro priated." But after the explanation which the Learned Chairman of the Colney Hatch Asylum had just given in asking for the sum in question, he thought he might fairly exercise his own discretion, in the absence of his Gallant Friend, and withdraw the amendment.—(Hear.) The motion for the grant of 21,000/, was then put and agreed to. Mr. ROTCH, in reply to a questi on f rom the Rev. T. 'Williams, said, if it were put tOhim is to what his opinion was with reference to what the whole cost of the Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum would be, he should have no hesitation in saying that it would be within 3 00,0t0/., but he entertained great hopes that he sh ou ld not have to appear before t h at C our t t o make any f urt h er d emand after t h at d ay .—(Hear. ) Other bu s i ness h av i ng b een di spose d of, the meet log separated.

(Before Mr. Commissioner FAKE.) IN RE DIXON. The bankrupt, Samuel Dixon, of Leeds, draper, came up for his last examination. He was the sur viving partner of the firm of John Field Rhodes and Samuel Dixon. J. F. Rhodes died on the 20th of April, 1851. The accounts, commencing the 11th of March, 1850, and ending July, 1851, show the following : Partnership creditors, 1,6971.; profits, 386/ ; capital, 9401. ; cash at bankers', 1931. ; good debts, 68/. ; property realized, 1,2181. ; legal and other expenses, 186/. ; premium paid for possession of premises, 110/ ; trade expenses, 6051. ; losses on sale of property, 406/. ; amount drawn from firm by J. F. Rhodes, 681.; ditto by Dixon, 1051. .. . His floNouit observed that the bankrupt was all but solvent. How came he here ? Mr. Linklater, who supported the bankrupt, said an arrangement had been attempted, but without success. The bankrupt passed without opposition. IN RE 110LTHOUSE. His HONOUR, said he would give judgment in this case on Thursday next. Iff RE BURN. The bankrupt, Andrew Burn, of Saekville-street, Piccadilly, draper, applied for his certificate. The accounts commence in January, 1844, and end in June, 1851, and show the following :—Creditors goods, 889/. ; bills, 2,569/. ; creditors holding secu-' rity, 1,054/. ; capital in January, 1844, 2,853/. ; profits, 2,8441. ; debtors. good, 811/. ; doubtful, esti mated to produce 300/. ; property, 297/. ; property in hands of creditors, 1,250/. ; losses, 3,9761. ; trade expenses, 2,8091. ; house and personal expenses, 1,3511. Mr. LINKLATER, for the assignees, offered no op position. _ _ His HONOUR said the bankruptcy seemed to have been attributable to circumstances in which the bank rupt had been accidentally involved, and which had nothing to do with his manner of conducting his re gular business. He should grant a certificate of the second class. He had very incautiously involved him self in hazardous transactions, and he had no doubt that if he had attended solely to his shop he would have been a prosperous man. Mr. LINRI.ATER afterwards informed the Court that the bankrupt had entered into an arrangement by which he could carry on his business as before. His HONOUR said he was glad to hear it. IN RE BALLINGALL. The bankrupt, James Ballingall, of Edward. street, Portman-square, pianoforte-maker, came up to pass his last examination. The accounts show the following :—Creditors un secured, 1,8841. ; ditto holding mortgage, 12;3/. ; liabili ties per contra, 1,669/. ; rents received and owing, 478/. ; profits, 2,669/ ' • capital in January, 1850, 216/. ; cash, 10/. ; halves of bank-notes, 35/. ; debtors, good, 168/. ; property given up to realize, 847/. ; lease, 1961.; property mortgaged, 2901. ; rent and taxes, 649/. ; trade expenses, 1,898/. ; domestic and personal ex penses, 3211. ; losses, 6341. ; liabilities per contra, 1,669/. Mr. Linklater supported the bankrupt. Mr. PAYOLA, for the assignees, said he had no ob jection to the bankrupt passing. The bankrupt passed. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept 4. Mr. Commissioner Pummr3 sat this morning and disposed of a number of applications for bail of an or dinary nature. North, New-road, was brought up by Dafter, 346 A, rn. ` sitting r , : , ,Yi.:-;!;ntio, Mr. Long, on the charge of having intermarried with Mary Young, his first wife, Anne Matthews, being at the time and now living. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Tichener, solicitor, Chichester. Sophia I3eeres proved that nine years ago the pri soner married her sister at the parish church of St. Peter, Chichester. She was still li v i ng , an d, to th e best f witness's belief, was at the present time an inmate of the Bethnal-green Lunatic Asylum. She had seen her there within the last twelve months. Prisoner—l was under an Limpression that she was dead. Mary Young, who had in her arms an infant, said that she was married to prisoner on the 3d of Feb., 1849, at S. Mary's, Marylebone. He represented himself to her as being a widower. Dafter (the officer) stated that on the same after noon (yesterday) he took the prisoner in charge close to the western entrance of the Great Exhibition ; and, on his being made acquainted with the nature of the offence for which he was taken, he at once admitted that he had married the two women. Tne marriage certificate necessary to complete the case was produced by Mr. Ticbener ; and The prisoner was committed for trial. S T /N STE R. A young woman in very humble circumstances complained that she was daily subjected to the most brutal treatment by her husband, and solicited the magistrate's immediate protection, as she was appre hensive, from the threats used by him, that if he dis covered she had been there he would murder her upon her return home. The worthy magistrate having heard her statement, and there being no doubt that she went in bodily fear, granted a warrant, which was immediately placed in the hands of Knowland, one of the summoning officer:: of the court, who promptly executed it, and brought the offender, Thomas Yarmson, a brutal-looking fellow, before the magistrate in less than half an hour. The wife repeated that she was commonly treated by the defendant in the most cruel manner. He re peatedly beat her so brutally that she was literally covered with bruises. His language and threats were most horrible, the latter being used to deter her from complaining of his unmanly violence. She had, un fortunately, got a bad leg, which was at times most painful, and when he had beaten her as long as he could stand over her, he causuci her the most excru ciating agony by kicking the affected limb. That morning he took up a knife, and swore with a dread ful oath that he would thrust it into her as far as it would go if he found that she complained to a ma gistrate. - Mr. BRODERIP inquired bow long she had been married. The poor woman replied last Christmas, since which she had scarcely known a day's happiness. Her husband, besides beating her in the brutal manner described, was an idle, worthless fellow, who did no work and was supported by her industry. The landlord of the house where they live and a fellow-lodger were called, both of whom confirmed complainant's account of her husband's brutality. The defendant endeavoured to palliate his conduct by alleging that his wife kept late hours, and was given to chink. Mr. BRODERIP recalled the witnesses, who posi. tively denied it. Tife fellow, finding his endeavours to blacken his wife's character had failed, changed his tone, and in a cringing voice " hoped she didn't mean to prosecute him." The poor woman replied she did. Mr. BRODERIP observed that an immense deal of brutality had been proved in this case, and he should call upon the defendant to find good bail for six months. It would be also as well to tell him that it would be useless to expect any mitigation of his sen tence, for unless he found the required sureties he should remain in gaol the full period. He was committed in default. IV OR S HIP-S TREE T. John Logid, a ruffianly fellow, who has been before in custody at this court for different of fences, and Iklaria Logid, his wife, were brought up before Mr. Hammill, charged with the following cow ardly and unprovoked attack upon a young woman named Mary Julian, the daughter of a lamp-manu facturer in Goldsmith's-row, Hackney, and her bro ther, a lad 14 years of age; and the female prisoner was also charged with assaulting and severely biting the father of the complainants, who had interposed for their protection. It appeared from the evidence that the female com plainant and her brother were proceeding home to the house of their father at eleven o'clock on the pre ceding night, when they were encountered by the male prisoner, to whom they were perfect strangers, who assailed her with a disgusting observation, im puting that there was an improper intimacy between her and her brother. After indignantly expostulating with him upon such a gross insinuation, she was hur rying on to avoid further molestation, when the pri soner seized her by the arms, and, forcing her back against a wall, commenced an unmerciful attack upon her, and beat her about the chest and other parts of her person till she was almost senseless. Her brother interfered and endeavoured to rescue his sister from further brutality, but was instantly seized by the male prisoner, who struck him and flung him heavily upon the pavement, while his wife renew ed the attack upon the young woman, whom she continued beating until their father, who had been apprised of the ill-treatment they were sustaining, ran up to their assistance, and was attempting to rescue them, when the female pri soner rushed upon him and bit him with such severity in the arm that he had suffered the most acute pain all night from the injury. Both prisoners then ran away, but were pursued by the witness and a con stable, and, after a sharp chase, were at length secured and lodged in the station. Mr. 'Julien corroborated the evidence of the other witnesses, and exhibited his arm to the magistrate, in which the prints of the female prisoner's teeth re mained deeply indented. The prisoner, in general terms,denied the facts al leged against them, and called two persons who were intimately connected with them, with the view of re butting the material portions of the evidence, but their testimony was entirely nugatory ; and Mr. HemAHLL, after very strongly animadverting upon the wanton and brutal nature of the outrage, sentenced the male prisoner to pay a penalty of 51. for the assult upon the young women, or in default to stand committed for two months to the House of Correction, together with a second penalty of 21. for his attack upon her brother, or in default a third month's imprisonment, to commence at the expiration of the first, and ordered the female prisoner to pay a penalty of 403. for her attack upon Mr. Julien him self, or in default to also stand committed for one month to the House of Correction. Neither of the penalties was paid, and both the prisoners wer e consequent l y remove d i n the van . IN RE CHARLES NASH. This insolvent, a colonial and Parliamentary agent, was heard some time since, and was remanded for eight calendar months at the suit of a Mr. Thwaites. To-day an application was made on the insolvent's behalf for an order of discharge to issue, notwithstand ing a detainer lodged since the adjudication by a cre ditor named Lewis. The Learned COMNIISSIONER thought that as the remand was confined to the suit of one creditor, the insolvent was entitled to his discharge against ail the rest. A further application was then made for the in solvent's discharge forthwith, upon the ground that the detaining creditor, Mr. Thwaites, had omitted to pay to the insolvent the allowance, 3s. Gd. per week, or dered by the Court. The period of remand would not expire until next month. Mr. Ingpen, the registrar, discovered that the ser vice upon Mr. Thwaites was imperfect, and Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS therefore refused to make any order. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. After the night charges had been disposed of a re spectably-dressed and apparently well-educated lady applied to the sitting Alderman for a little temporary relief, under the following circumstances : She stated that, in the latter part of 1850, in con sequence of her husband's ill health, he was advised to seek a change of climate, and accordingly started for Australia, at the same time giving up a most lu crative situation as clerk to a highly-respectable firm in Leadenhall-street, who furnished him with letters of recommendation of a most flattering description. The applicant accompanied her husband to Australia, who died a week after he landed there, and four days after she was delivered of the child she had in her arms. Circumstances compelled her to remain a few weeks in Australia, when, finding her means rapidly diminishing, she returned to England, only to meet with poverty and wretchedness, for the landlord of the room she occupied had given her notice to leave on Saturday next, because she had no money to pay the rent. She had hoped to obtain a situation as go verness, but had failed in her exertions. She applied to the magistrates at Worship-street, who recommen ded her to this court. Alderman HOOPER said, the case was not properly within his district, as she lived out of the City, but her case appeared to call for sympathy, and he would order her five shillings from the poor-box. He was very sorry he could do no more for her, and he ad vised her to apply to the workhouse, if she could gat no assistance from any other quarter. She gave her name, but, on account of her previous position and present decayed circumstances, we for bear to mention it. Her initials are, "E. H." MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Thomas Smith, clothier, of New Bond-street, was summoned by Thomas Holt, cab-driver and cab owner, for an assault. Tne complainant said he drove the defendant to New Bund-street on Friday night, and when asked his fare said 2s. The defendant called him a liar, saying his fare was only Is. Bd. The defendant, as he was going into the house, said, " I'll pay you," and instantly knocked him down. Complainant got up, and was pitched into until defendant was out of wind. Complainant called for the police. The de , fendant seized him by the neckerchief, but his hand slipped, and such was the force which the defendant used that his boxcoat was damaged to the extent of 10s. Complainant declared he gave no provocation, he used no bad language, and he only demanded his legal fare. All he did was to put his hand on the defendant's arm in the civilest way possible, saying to him, " Sir, if you will not pay me my f are , perhaps you will favour me with your card ?" A witness who was passing at the time said he saw the complainant knocked down. He heard the de fendant use threatening oaths towards him, and he afterwards saw the defendant strike him about the face and body repeatedly. The cabman did not at tempt to retort with either bad language or b!ows. The professional adviser who at t en d e d f or the de fendant said, his client was unfortunately without any witnesses, and therefore he must ask the magistrate to look at the probabilities of the case. His client was in size and apparent strength greatly inferior to the complainant. His client was a highly respectable tradesman, carrying on business for years in Bond street, and also in Regent-street; his character was that of mildness itself; and his language was always regulated by the strictest propriety. All the de fendant's friends would, if necessary, depose to the quiet character of his client, and his incapability of using such language as that attributed to him. He would beg the Court to recollect what was the usual conduct of cabmen, and what would be the ordinary course of a respectable tradesman under the probable circumstances of the case. Mr. BINGHAM remarked that it often happened f ac t s were found to be stronger than fiction, and how ever improbable it might appear for a cabman to h ave acted in the civil and forbearing manner ascrib e d t o the complainant, and for a person in def en d ant ' s station to have conducted himself without provocation in the manner described, still, with the uncontradicted statement of the complainant, supported by the testi mony of an independent witness, he could come to no other conclusion than that the charge had been proved, for which the defendant must pay 40s. and costs. . _ The parties retired, but in a few minutes after wards the cabman entered the court and complained of having been grossly insulted by Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith was called into court again. The cabman said Mr. Smith repeatedly called him a " cur," and made a filthy noise at him with his mouth. Mr. Smith did not deny having applied the epithet " cur" to the complainant.
