GERMANY. The Debats has the fellowine , on Austri In policy : —" We roeve received ne vas !rein Vieuea of vac; 31.*t ult. The Cabinet letters of the 20h ult., addressed by the Emperor to Prince de Schwarz.mberg, Pre sident of the Council of Ministers, and to Baron de Kubec, President of the Council of the Empire, had been published not only in the capital of the empire, but in all the towns of any importance ; and the in telligence which the Government had received in formed it that such publication had not excited dis content or disturbance in any quarter. It appears, besides, that this pacific result had been foreseen; and that in advance no apprehension was felt as to the immediate effects of the imperial ordinances. The Government had not had recourse to any extra ordinary measures of surety. The garrisons had not been displaced or reinforced, or the troops even ordered to keep their barracks and hold themselves in readiness to act. The Government finds in these external circumstances a proof that its conduct is ap proved of, and that the popularity of the Emperor has not been impaired. The documents of Aug. 20 have been the occasion of a diplomatic communica tion. Prince de Schwartzenberg, who is at the same time Minister of the Imperial Household and of Fo reign Affairs, transmitted them to all the diplomatic agents of Austria in foreign countries with a circu lar, dated Aug. 26, explaining their character, and at the same time making known the intentions of the Emperor, particularly in what relates to the charter of March 4, 1849. This circular is conse quently an important document, of which the fol lowing is the substance The Prince de Schwart zenberg begins by giving a rapid sketch of the critical situation of the empire at the commencement of 1849. At that period revolution was everywhere. After having suddenly broken out at Vienna, it had spread into the kingdom of Hungary and the provinces of Lombardy ; and that situation, so perilous per se, was aggravated by the complication of the other states of Germany. However, the imperial armies had obtained great advantages and made rapid pro gress. It was thought, above all, urgent to find a mode of re-edifying the unity and indivisibility of the empire and the authority of the throne ; it was thought that a unitary constitution could be that mode, and for that purpose his Imperial Majesty re solved to give his letters-patent of March 4. But the matter was urgent, and time was wanting to study the fundamental principles on which that con stitution ought to rest, and to assemble and select them. These principles were borrowed from the charters and constitutions promulgated in other states of Europe, and the act of March 4 was in fact only a document drawn up according to foreign models. -Such a work could not have much success, and it had none._ Tne circular declares that its vices andinsuffi ciency Si. order became restored in the monarchy, it was more evident that the execution of the charter was impossible; that its execution could not be attempted with impunity ; and that, if the attempt were made, -it might expose the monarchy to the greatest dan gers. That was the conviction of the Emperor, who judged the moment come to remove public uncertainty, by putti ng an en d to t h e fi c ti on which the act of Mar c h 4 k ep t up , b y suppress i ng th e collection of temporary measures connected with that act, and by assi gn i ng to th e th rone , t o w hi c h it ex clusively belongs, the decision of the question. The Emperor, who gave spontaneously the letters patent of March 4, had never bound himself to them, either by an oath or by any concession or abandon ment of his imperial authority. Eta Majesty was not bound to maintain the letter of this constitu tion, which ought to be ranked amongst those measures which the Sovereign, in the exercise of his power, adopts, modifies, or abrogates according to his conviction, and for which he is responsible to God alone. His Majesty being decided to frankly put an end to such a state of things, full of trouble and anxiety, had provided for doing so by his ordi nances of August 20.' The circular next explains what is the signification of the Ministerial responsi bility, how it ought to be regarded in the Govern ment of his Majesty, and why the constitutional in stitutions of the empire shall be regulated according to the decision of the Emperor himself. Prince de Schwartzenberg concludes by the very formal and very explicit declaration, that the Emperor does not intend any reaction. His Imperial Majesty desires to establish in the empire only a regime strictly and perfectly legal ; and likewise the question is not to re-establish privileges, exemptions, or exceptional positions, which have disappeared in these latter years, nor to give any attaint to the material rights recognised since 1848, in what concerns property and persons." THE BLEEDING PICTURE IMPOSTURE. TRIAL OF ROSE TAMISIER. (From Gall gnani' s Messenger.) Rose TaMisier, the female arrested on a charge of having by a pretended miracle at St. Saturnin, near Apt, committed what the law calls "an outrage on objects of religious worship," was brought to trial four days ago before the Tribunal of Correctional Police of Carpentras. She is extremely pale, and her features bear the mark of mysticism. Her bearing is modest, and she dresses in black, with a nun's cap. Her age is 33. The court was crowded to excess, and the famous bleeding picture was placed behind the judges. It was proved by several witnesses that Rose had always pretended to possess the power of working miracles. To one witness she once showed a letter which she said had been written by a person who could neither read nor write, and that person, she declared, had been miraculously endowed with the facility of writ ing in consequence of her prayers. To another wit ness she asserted that she bad on a particular occasion been surrounded with great light from heaven at Cadenet. To a third she said that she had once, when in the convent of Sallons, planted a cabbage by the command of heaven, and that in a few days it grew to such a vast size that all the persons in the convent were able to make a dinner of it. The cure of Saignon deposed that he had known Ross Tamisier for 15 years, and had always noticed in her a marked tendency to piety and mysticism. In Aug., 1850, she told him that she had miraculously received the sacrament in the parish church ; and on going to the tabernacle of the altar be found that the con secrated wafer had disappeared. On two subse quent occasions the consecrated wafer again vanished, and Rose pretended that she had again miraculously communicated. He therefore removed the key of the tabernacle, and forbade her to approach the altar ; he also directed his vicaire not to say mass at the principal altar; but nevertheless the consecrated wafer was then taken away, and be could not discover that any second key to the tabernacle existed. On going to the church one morning, he was surprised to find the tabernacle open, two candles on the altar lighted, and Rose prostrate on the ground. In answer to his questions, she said that the candles had become lighted of themselves, that the tabernacle had voluntarily opened, that she bad felt herself fixed to the ground at some distance from the altar, and that the consecrated wafer had then advanced slowly to her mouth. About the same time she pretended to have marks of a miraculous character on her breast, and to prove this assertion, she produced her linen, which bore some stains representing the Virgin Mary, and, at others, a crown of thorns. He took measures tc ascertain whether she had not so marked her linen, but without success. One day before celebrating mass, he ordered Rose to place a piece of clean linen to her breast, and not to leave the church without his permission. When the mess was over, he called her to the vestry and made her produce the linen ; to his astonishment it bore the figure of the Virgin. By direction of the Archbishop, he directed her to pray to God that the marks on her breast might be removed ; and in a few days afterwards they disappeared. The vicaire of Sainon, after deposing. to the rep ea t e d disappearances of the consecrated wafer, stated that in the month of October last he had to say mass one morning at five o'clock, and expressed to Rose the fear that he might not awake in time. Rose answered, "I will have you awakened." The next morning he was aroused from his sleep by three blows struck on his night-table, and at the same time he heard distant music. A moment after the clock struck five. The neat day he said to Rose, " You forgot to awaken me'" She answered, "I had you awakened by my guardian angel!" The witness added that another miracle ascribed to Rose was that she had caused buttons t o be sent to him in a strange way, to repair his coat. Th e fact was that he had found the buttons in his apartment, and that no one could tell how they came there. But he attached no importance to that fact, and considered it a joke. M. Massie, a landowner at Saignon, sa id th a t the v ic a i re h a d called him an atheist, and an infidel, for not be lieving in the reality of Rose's miracles, and bad announced to him that still more extraordinary things would soon be witnessed. Madame Fereire, a sister of the Order of the Presentation de la Marie, called in religion Sister Sainte-Leonarde stated that she witnessed some hfand had not She Rose's miracle,, had warned h er to be prudent believed in them, in her conduct. Several other . witnesses th en deposed that Rose had made extraordinary statements to them, had pretended to be in frequent communication with the Hely Virgin, to have peculiar marks on her breast, &c. One said that an intimate friend of R ote had assured her that one day, as two females were passing the church of St. Saturnin, they felt them e irresistibly attracted to the interior, and, on kneeling before a picture, saw blood flow from it. At this stage of the evidence the tribunal adjourned. • The shooting elson commetuTri on Mondly last, when numbers of sportsmen " ranged the fertile fields" in search of game. The weather was truly delightful, as in deed it has continued to be throughout the week, but birds proved uncommonly scarce in most localities;, having pro bably taken refuge in the still standing corn. It is cortii derad more than likely that game is very plentiful, as the breeding sewn was remarkably favourable.-- Welshman. aftsgawiii‘ii6;ilMlM THE SUN, CORONERS' INQUESTS.

Tr.e deceased resided in the no torious place called the C am p e rd ow n, or Rookery, chiefly inhabited by the low Irish people. A few nights since the d ecease d re t urn ed home very much intoxicated, and when her daughter awoke she found her in a kneeling position by the side of her bed, with her head resting upon her arms. She was raised, but she was quite dead. Her left eye was much swollen and contused. The jury returned a verdict—That the deceased died from excessive drinking of ardent spirits. At the close of the in quiry the whole of the jury complained in strong' terms respecting the abominable nuisance the inhabi tants were subjected to by the continual dis turbances which took place in the Camperdown, the foot passengers being unable to pass without being molested. DISTRESSING SUICIDE AT BANKSIDE.—On Satur day an inquest was gone into before Mr. W. Carter, the Surrey coroner, at the Smith's Arms Tavern, Park-street, Bankside, Southwark, on the body of Henry William Scholefield, aged forty-three, butcher, who committed suicide by cutting his throat. The jury returned a verdict of Temporary Insanity. FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE. — A long inquiry was gone into by Mr. Bedford, the coroner , on Friday night, at the Westminster Hospital, on the body of William James Giles, aged eight years. The lad's death was caused in the same extraor dinary manner as that of Mr. Tomlin, the barrister, of Paper-buildings, Temple , which caused a great sensation a few months back. parents at 41, hou lt se a , ybtohyetestimonyb of his a resident in the " th ea at re t d he b Vine-street, Westminster, and on th e n i gn t o f Tues day last was heard running dow n s t a i rs .

He was taken to the West minster Hospital, and seen by Mr. Purdy, the house surgeon, who discovered a f rac t ure o f th e s k u ll, from which and laceration of the brain he subse quently died. Mr. Crow, the constable, stated that the part at which the deceased must have gone out was at the top of the landing ; he was only surprised no one had gone before, so dangerous was it. The jury returned a verdict—That the deceased died from injuries caused by accidentally falling from an unprotected window. FRIGHTFUL DEATH FROM SONNAMDULISM.—OH Saturday Mr. Carter held an inquest at the Rose Tavern, Richmond .street, East-lane, Walworth, as to the death of Mrs. Mary Johnson, aged 91, an in dependent lady, lately residing at No. 11, Richmond street, who died under the following shocking cir cumstances :—The deceased was a widow lady under the care of a nurse, and on Wednesday night, by some means left her sleeping apartment, and wandered about the upper part of the house as she had done before. At an early hour on Thursday morning a young man heard a heavy fall, and when he looked into the street he saw the deceased lying on the pavement in a state of nudity. Mr. M. H. Perritt, the surgeon, was called, but the deceased, who had sustained a dislocation of the spinal column, expired in half an hour afterwards. The deceased had walked out of one of the windows on the second floor, as the flower pots were found; removed, and the, window wide open. The jury returnel a verdict of Accidental Death. AWFUL DEATH OF A FARMER WHILE SHOOTING. —An inquest was taken on Friday evening by Mr. W. Carter, the Surrey coroner, in a small cottage at Chepstead, near Reigate, on the body of Mr. James Sharman, aged 26, a farmer. The deceased was out on his estate with two dogs, on Thursday last; he levelled his double-barrelled gun, and fired at a covey of partridges. The report was heard by a shepherd's boy, who went to the field, and saw the deceased lying face downwards with a dog by his side, and the gun under his body. He had died from apoplexy. Verdict—Natural Death from apoplexy. WRECK OF A SPANISH iII.CI?CHANTITIAN OFF MARGATE. MARGATE. SUNDAY NlGHT.—During the last twenty four hours heavy gates have been blowing off this coast, and it is feared that many wrecks have occurred. The result has been that several crews of the intrepid boat men of the district have put out to sea, with the view of endeavouring to render assistance to any vessel that might need it, and one, at least, has been successful in rescuing the lives of a number of their fellow-creatures, who otherwise would probably have been consigned to a watery grave. The lugger Nelson, commanded by John Knight, with a crew of three picked boatmen, cruising in the neighbourhood of the Sunken Light, observed, about seven o'clock this morning, a flag of distress flying from a boat at some miles distance, and immediately pat off to render assistauce. At a quarter to eight they reached the boat, and found it to contain nine Spanish sailors, and to be in an almost sinking state, the stern being completely stove in. The unfortunate men having been taken on board the Nelson, it was ascertained that they comprised the crew of the Spanish brig Cervantes, Captain Felix Loyo y Castro, from Christiansand to Barcelona, with a cargo of salt fish, which ran on shore on the Lorg sands at half past eleven last night. The crew stood by their vessel until five o'clock this morning, when, finding that their vessel was going to pieces, they took to the only boat left to them out of three, in which they remained until they were picked up by the lugger, their boat at this time being about 24 miles from Mar gate, 6 from the Sunken Light, and 8 from the Kentish Knock. The rescued crew having been refreshed with hot coffee and other necessaries, were conveyed to this place, and received under the care of mine host Walker, of the Queen's Arms Hotel, where every possible atten tion was paid to their wants. The Spanish Consul at Ramsgate having been informed of the position of the unfortunate men, immediately sent his clerk to inquire into their condition, and they will be sent to London to morrow (Monday) morning, and placed under the care of the Consul-General. It is worthy of remark their brave deliverers have no claim for compensation, though, had they brought in as many dead bodies, they would have received 53. each. l'here cell be no doubt, however, that the Spanish Government will reward them; and we are happy to be able to state that several visitors here entered into a subscription to reward them. It is reported that a screw steamer is now on shore at the Lorg S Inds, and several boats have put off to see if they can render assistance. SEABORNE MAILS.

The long-talked-of extensive improvements in the ap proaches to Windier Castle were commenced last week, by order of her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests, after the piens and under the direction of Mr. i?ege, the Government architect. The massive iron gates, stone buttresses, and pallisading connected with the lodge at the grand entrance to the Castle by Park street, have been removed, and the lodges at the entrance to the Long-walk taken down. Two magnificent gates aro to be erected here, the one leading to the Castle to be reserved for the sole use of her Majesty and the Royal family, and the other for the use of the public in passing and re-passing to and from the Long-walk. The de sign of these gates has been completed some time since by Mr. Page, and is very elaborate. The ornaments in elude the arms of every British Monarch from the time of the Norman conquest. The gates are to be con structed on a new and self-acting principle, by which they will Le made to open and close as the carriages ap proach and depart, without the assistance of the gate keeper. The high road to Old Windsor, by Frogmere, has been stopped, the Hope Inn and all the buildings in that neighbourhood have been taken down, and hence forth the road will be used only as a carriage-drive to the residence of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Rent. The old wall enclosing the Home-park by Frying pau.walk will be immediately pulled down, and several vistas have already been made by the felling of trees in the avenue leading in the direction of the keeper's lodge, W aterloo-gates. The park paling on the by the old Frogniore siee of the Lone , vvalk will be taken away and renee; the alteration will add replaced by an invisible much J the beauty et this matchless avenue . Th e o Progmore-l o d ge , an d k nown 53 of abo u t 50 0 acres of arable and r s o h v a al w property iarm. eon aclo t i i r ri li g ng by its present meadow bud, will shortly be given up LONDON, tenant, Mr. Charles Seaward Cantrell, to Prince Albert, for the purpose of being converted into a model farm by his Rlyal Highness, and the old dairy at Frogmore will be removed thither. SLveral sal s have recently taken place of the materials of hou3es purchased by the Crown, on the Castle side of Thames-street, for the purpose of their being pullad down, and the few which remain between the Hundred-steps and Castle-street will be sold and pulled down in the course of a fortnight. Orders have been given by her Majesty and his Royal High ness Prince Albert, that all the contemplated works connected with the improvements of Windsor shall be carried out without further delay, and the royal borough, which for so many years has displayed the aspect of desolation, will in a short time assume its wonted cheerful and pretty appearance. THE CRYSTAL PALACE. At the present moment, when the fete of the Crystal Palace is a subject of general discussion, the follow ing correspondence, and the extract from the contract with Messrs. Fox and Henderson appended to it, will be perused with interest : " Treasury Chambers, Ang. 18. "My Lords and Gentlemen,--I am commanded by the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury to call your attention to the address of the House of Com mons to her Majesty the Queen respecting the continu ance of the Exhibition•building in Hyde Park, and her Majesty's reply to such address ; and I am to request that you will inform my Lords what view you take of your obligations towards the Commissioners of Woods, &c., with respect to the removal of the building, and also whether you are in a condition to state what would be the annual expense of keeping the building in a state of repair. —I am, my Lords and Gentlemen, your obe dient servant, " G. CORNEWALL LEWIS. "The Royal Commissioners of the Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations, Hyde-park." " Exhibition Building, Hyde-park, Aug. 21. " Sir,—l am directed by her Majesty's Commissioners. &c., to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 18th inst., inquiring what view the Commissioners take of their obligations towards the Commissioners of Woods, &c., with respect to the removal of the Exhibi tion building, and inquiring also whether the Commis sioners are in a condition to state what would be the an nual expense of keeping the building in a state of repair. " With reference to the first of these questions, the Commissioners direct me to request that you will call the attention of the Lords of the Treasury to those parts of the contract between the Commissioners and the Commissioners of Woods, &c., which pre scibe the closing of the Exhibition on or before the lst of November, and the removal of the building and restoration2of the site on or before the Ist of June next. The Commissioners consider these stipulations to be strictly binding upon them, and have provided in their contract with Messrs. Fox and Henderson (an extract of which is herewith sent) for carrying them into effect. It is their intention in due course to give the contractors the necessary notice for the removal of the building. " With regard to the probable annual expense of keeping the building in repair, I am to state that, as the building does not belong to the Commissioners, they are unable to furnish any estimate of the cost of keeping it up.—l have, &c. " G. Cornewall Lewis, Esq , M.P." [Extract from Contract with Messrs. Fox and Hen ders or. * * * " And it is beretiy further agreed, never theless and notwithstanding all other covenants here unto precedent, that if within six months after the let day of IXcember, in the year 1851, on notice being given to that effnt in writing to the said Charles Fox and John Henderson by the said Commissioners, and such notice being delivered at the usual place of abode or house of business of the said Charles Fox and John Henderson, or one of them, previously to such Ist day of Decem ber, in the year 1851, the said Charles Fox and John Henderson shall not have entirely removed the whole of tha said building, and shall not have fulfilled all the requirements of this contract, and of the specifcatio❑ hereunto annexed, in respect of the restoration of the site to as nearly as possible its present condition, then it is hereby mutually agreed that it shall be lawful for her Majesty, her heirs or successors, or the Commissioners of her Majesty's Woods, Forests, Land Revenues, Works, and Buildings on the pro perty o: her Majesty, her heirs or successors, to take possession and make seizure of any work, materials, implements, tools, and other effects that may be at that time left upon the said site for the building, to sell the same to the highest bidder, and apply the proceeds thereof to the execution of any works remaining to be done under this contract." It will be seen from these documents that the Royal Commission consider themselves bound to give the necessary notice for the removal of the building ; and, in consequence, that formality will in all probability be immediately complied with. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. John Simpson, a general agent, carrying on busi ness in Walibrook, who was remanded on Saturday last, was again placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, charged with wilfully making a false declaration before a police magistrate, and also with obtaining the sum of 3201. by false representations. Mr. Stafford, solicitor, of Buckingham-street, Strand, who conducted the prosecution, being sworn, said,—About the latter end of October last the pri soner applied to me in my professional capacity to ascertain if I could raise a certain 3UM of money for him upon the security of the household furniture of a person he denominated a gentleman of great respecta bility, and after some observations respecting the difficulty of dispensing with the actual possessor of the furniture by an adverse agent, I told him that there was no doubt I could meet his views under such circumstances. Upon which he said he would be my humble servant, and I accordingly accompanied him to his residence, Holywell House, New Kent-road, where, from my previous acquaintance with the prisoner, I was astonished to see the style he was living in. While we were going over the house he made professions respecting a quantity of plate, which was wholly free from encumbrance of any kind. Upon such a representation I undertook to apply to my client, Mr. T. Holt, for the money; and, subsequently, applied that the amount in ques tion should be advanced to the prisoner on the sth of November • ancl in furtherance of his state ment I prepared the declaration to that effect with his concurrence, which was intended to have been made at this court, but it was subsequently altered to the Southwark Police -court. I was not present when be made the declaration, but he brought it to me pur porting to be signed by Mr. G. A'Beckett, and also by himself, with whose handwriting I was well ac quainted, to satisfy my client that there was no claim or distress for rent upon the property. Oa the same day the prisoner alleged that the inventory had mis carried with the messenger he had employed to de liver it to me, and he had not seen him since Satur day, it being then Tuesday, in consequence of which the business could not be concluded at the house, and my client having left the money with me to be ad vanced, a warrant of attorney was also to be a colla teral security. Upon the faith of the declaration handed to me, and upon expressing disappointment at not getting the money on that day, I advanced him 3201., upon his engaging to complete the bill of sale forthwith, and which I executed two days after, Upon the first instalment becoming due on the stk of January last it was not paid, which induced me to make inquiries, and I found that the sheriff hod levied an execution on the premises, having been some time in possession without iny knowledge; and upon my threatening to proceed to extremities the prisoner called and represented that Mr. Holt was the first encumbrancer upon the pro perty, which caused me to give notice of my claim to the sheriff, who inter pleaded, and upon the hearing of the summons before the judge, and showing that my client was the first encumbrancer upon the pro perty under another bill of sale, an order was reticle in our favour, but before leaving the chambers I ascer tained there had been a prior bill of sale given to Messrs. Bullock, the auctioneers, who were an actual possession more than two months. I then went over the premises, fancying there might be lathes on their part, but I found there were bills placarded for the sale of the property, which was since soli by them, and they had not realised their demands, amounting to about 8001.; in addition to which I discovered that the prisoner had decamped with the proceeds of a horse and carriage he had pledged to Dir. Robinson, and I presumed bad gone abroad. The next sessions I preferred bills of indictment at the Central Crimi nal Court for the two offences, which were f oun d, but owing to the illness o f my client we were unable to proceed further, until I unexpectedly met the pri soner and gave him in charge. In answer to Mr. Warren, who appeared for the prisoner, Witness said the house was handsomely furnished; but he would not have advanced the money until the plate was exhibited. Mr. Stafford informed the Court that he was now prepared with the necessary certificates, which he was unable to procure in the first instance, and it re mained with his Worship to name the amount of bail he would require for the prisoner's appearance at the trial. Mr. HENRY ordered the prisoner to enter into sure himself in 2001, and two in 50/. each ; but at the request of the solicitors adjourned the further hearing of the case for a few days. MARY LEB ON E. BURGLARY.—MichaeI .Hannan was placed at the bar charged with having burglariously entered the premises of Mr. William Hayley, a cheesemonger, 74, Devonshire -street, Lisson-grove, Marylebone, and stolen therefrom two hams, a quantity of bacon, and other articles. Walker, 184 D (a very active officer), gave evi dence in the case of so strong a nature as to justify a remand, and the prisoner will be brought up agaia on Wednesday (to -morrow). CLF:RKEN WELL . Yesterday John Caffery, a marble-polisher, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with having cruelly beaten JamPs Caffery, his own son, 14 years of age, with a red-hot poker, by which his lite i 3 placed in great danger. The case excited considerable interest, a report TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9, 1851. having been industriously circulated that a boy bad been murdered by his father by burnin : s him to I death, and the court was crowded to hear the pro ceedings. Robert Crebo, an active officer, 41 E division, said that on Saturday night, at a quarter-past ten o'clock, he was on duty near Crescent-mews, Burton-crescent, when his attention was attracted by the cries of "Murder," from a boy's voice in a house situate No. 25, Crescent-mews. Witness entered, and on proceeding to the upper part of the house the cry of murder in creased, and he heard blows on the third floor apart ment. He demanded admittance, but was refused, and he burst the door open, when he saw the injured boy quite naked jumping about the room, and the prisoner was beating him with a red-hot poker, and the boy was evidently suffering extreme pain. Witness attempted to take the prisoner into custody, on which he refused to go with him, but resisted violently, saying that he (witness) had no right there, and struck him. The violence of the blow broke in his hat. Whilst they were struggling together the prisoner's wife returned home and assisted him, when they threw him down stairs. He, however, kept his foot between the door and the side post, and held it open whilst he called for assistance, until Sergeant Harris 17 E, and another officer came and took the prisoner into custody, and he was locked up in the station-house. Sergeant Harris and witness went back to the house and took the prisoner's son to St. Pancras workhouse for medical assistance. The boy had no clothes to put on, and he was taken to the workhouse wrapped up in police clothes. The wit ness produced a certificate from the surgeon, of which the following is a copy, viz.:— " James Caffcry, a patient in the St. Pancras infirmary, suffering from severe contusions and burns on the back, shoulders, legs, and face, and unable at present to attend. " SAMUEL WALDEGRAVE, House Surgeon. "Sept. 8, 1851." Witness added, that when he questioned the boy, he informed him that in the course of Saturday evening his father beat him severely with a leathern strap until his mother interfered to prevent him. She afterwards went out to purchase some butter, when the prisoner locked the door. He then put the poker into the fire until it was red-hot, and he beat him with it while he was naked. Sergeant Harris, 17 E, confirmed the above ev dence: Mr. TYRWHITT asked the prisoner if he wished to say anything to the charge ?—He replied that his son had been a bad boy for the last three years, and was in the habit of robbing him and bis neighbours. Mr. TYRWIUTT—That is no reason why you shoeld beat him with a red-hot poker. Prisoner—l have worked hard for him, and I did not correct him in any way for the last twelve months. Mr. TYRWHITT said, under the circumstances, he . . could not part with him. From the nature of the surgeon's certificate hit son was in a very bad state, and he should remand him for a week. He was accordingly remanded, and in the courFe of the day his brother applied for bail to be taken fur his appearance. Mr. TYRWIIITT said he would take bail, but it must be very responsible. LAMBETH. FRAUD.—PASSING FICTITIOUS CnEQuEs.—Yester day Mr. Edward Pittard, a man of respectable ap pearance, who was described as a bacon factor or solesman, was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott on the following charge : Mr. Thomas Greathead, the extensive cheesemon ger in the Westminster-road, deposed that on Satur day evening last the prisoner, whom he had previously known as a bacon factor, entered his shop and said he had something to sell in the bacon way if he was a buyer. Witness replied that he was not a buyer, and the prisoner then asked him the lowest price he would take for halta-dozen of hams. He told him 544. per cwt., and the prisoner selected six hams and a cheese, which came to 21. 33. 61, and tendered a cheque for 31. 153.6 d., payable at the Commercial Bank of Lon • don. Witness objected to receive it, not knowing the drawer; but the prisoner having assured him that it was all right, and that it was drawn by the party whose bacon he had to sell, and who had given it to him for commission for business he had done, he took it, and gave him 1/. 125., the difference. Soon after the prisoner's departure he (Mr. Greathead) had been informed that a number of persons in the trade had been imposed on by the prisoner. On that morn ing he sent the cheque to the Commercial Bank of London, and the answer was that the drawer was un known. The prisoner, who declined offering anything in defence, was remanded for a week. ROBBERY IN VAUXHALL GARDENS.—EIIen Wells and Eliza Absalom, two well-dressed married women, who have been in custody since Tuesday last, on a charge of robbing a French gentleman of a purse, containing 121. in English and French moneys at the Vauxhall Gardena, were brought up for final ex amination. S argeant Goff informed the magistrate that the pri soner Absolom, whose husband was a tailor, had borne a good character, but that Wells, whose husband is a bricklayer, he found to be a person of irregular cha racter. Both the prisoners were fully committed to take theix trial on the charge at the Surrey sessions. THAMES. ASSAULT AND ROBBERY.--William Nicolson, 53, a s e aman on board the brig Lord Althorp, was charged with stealing a silver watch, value 21., the property of George Nifton, waiter at the Royal Crown, Rat cliff a-hig h way. Mr. Smith, at the instance of the prisoner's cap tain, appeared for the defence. Nifton stated that on the previous night he war proceeding to close the shop, when he saw the pri sonw fighting with another man at the bar. He in terfered to separate them, when the prisoner seiz-d hold of his watchguard and threw him down. Of , rising he found that his watch was gone, and gave the prisoner into custody. He was very violent on the way to the station. The Master of the Lord Althorp (a foreign coaster) gave the prisoner a good character. I\l2. YARDLEY was very strongly inclined to ant. pea that some more skilful thief, taking advantage of the con , usion, had awed Nifton of his watch. It was hotel ver a case for further further inquiry. r. Smith—Partnips you will allow us to retire a minute._ r. YARDLEY—No; I can't compromise a felony. Nifton—l won't press the charge of felony. `+' Jr. YARDLEY—Then I fine the prisoner 5!. for tile assault. If he gives the prosecutor 404., he m ly go. The captain paid the 403, and the prisoner was then discharged, A REGULAR SMUGGLER.—Petre Von Kouvener, stoker on board the steam-vessel JP vnnoor, brought up by Inspector Jones, of the Tnatnes dtvi sion., and officer of Customs, charged with smuggling 41h. of foreign manufactured tobacco, liable to for feiti ffe. T h' Inspector stated that he saw the prisoner leave the Fynnoor, and followed him to No. 3, Chamber street, Rosemary-lane, and there found a padiage containing 41b. of tobacco on him, although he at first denied having any. The prisoner (through an interpreter) said he would leave the case in his Worship's hands. Mr. YARDLEY had no doubt he was 'a regular smuggler, from the fact of his going to a house where he knew he could dispose of it, and ordered him to pay a fine of 41., or be imprisoned for a month. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE SUPEaILSTENOENT3NIP OF DEVONIe: - : , ILT Alio•rNel Seymour, the Saperin tendent of Sheerness Dockyard, has been appo4ited Commodore of the first class, and Superintendent of Devonport Dockyard, vice Lord John Hay, C. 8., deceased. It is reported that Captain Charles Eden, private secretary to the First Lord of the Admiralty, will succeed Commodore Seymour as Superintendent of Sheerness Dockyard. With reference to the super intendentship, a Devonport correspondent writes as follows : "The officials here are all anxiety to learn the name of the fortunate officer who is to succeed the late Lord John Hay as Superintendent of the dock yard. Every day brings the name of a new candi date, and every imaginable reason is assigned in support of the parties natnpd—strong Parliamentary interest, relationship to a fortunate family, peculiar service claims, and last, though it should nut be least, peculiar qualifications for the duties. But amidst all this doubt and conjecture one thing is spoken of as certain—namely, that whoever may be the superin tendent, the secretary is to be selected from among the clerks of the establishment, fully acquainted with the routine of the yard, and therefore capable of really assisting the new chief in such matters. • Whether the confidence in this arrangement has any other foundation than that which arises in the belief, that with the present Board of Admiralty the efficient discharge of the duties of the establishment has paramount consideration remains to be seen ; certain it is, however, that all those at all acquainted with the duties of secretary, or rather first clerk in the superintendent's office, consider the anomaly of appointing a person to direct who must be totally ignorant of the very alphabet of the routine of the office, as too glaring for a repetition. In saying this much it is not intended in the slightest degree to re flect on the gentleman who held the office under the late Superintendent; his disqualifications are not per sonal, but general to all uninitiated. For the duties of secretary to a commander-in-chief, or commodore of a fleet, a purser is qualified by a long course of regular systematic instruction during his ckrkship, and is generally selected from his experience in some secretary's office; but of the duties of a dockyard he must be totally ignorant, and thus made &pendent upon others in all his official acts. Duties thus con ducted never can be satisfactorily carried out—that which should be confidential is made known, and those who should be instructed become the instructors. But there is one other point on which there is at the present time great jealousy—namely, economy. When the duties were perfortn , d by a clerk on the establishment, the gentleman was not a mere secre tary to the Superintendent, he partook in the general duties of the office ; but under the present system the secretary is simply an attaché of the chief at an addi tional cost to the public of nearly 4001. a year. On every plea, therefore, whether on account or the con• venience and facility of bu.dness—juttice to a de serving class of public servants, woo have a right to look to reaching the position which the office of secre• tary to the Superintendent confers —or, above all, the good of the service combined with t commy, which, while reductions are being made among the working classes, should not be lightly considered by their Lordships, it is alleged that the old system should be reverted to. DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL LESLIE.-01.11* con temporary the Times has disposed of another flag ' officer. The death of Rear-Admiral Samuel Leslie (,n the retired list of 1846) is rep n-ted to have taken place on the 3'l instant, at Rosebank, D maghedee. The reported deceased anuat have b-en in toe 731 sear of his age, for he was born in March, 1779, but whether he will turn out to be one of the " dead alive" it remains for our contemn arary to discover. At any rate in these days of begrudging and reproach, it may be some advantage to the service to show the country how our flee officers have earned their pay and promotien. Admiral Leslie was son of the Ve nerable Edmund Leslie, Archdeacon of Down, and descended from a noble Hungarian family who settled in North Britain in 1067. The gallant admiral en tered the navy in May, 1793, and his full-pay service, including 10 years in the Coast Guard, amounted to 32 years, or about 11 years more than Sir Charles Napier has served. His first ship was the Pomona, 28, Captain Henry d'Esterre Darby ; and until the , early part of 1794 was employed, chiefly in the capa city of midshipman, in annoying the enemy's coasting trade, a service which frequently brought him under the fire of the batteries of the French shore. Joining the Impetueux, 74, Mr. Leslie served for many months at the blockade of Brest, after which, on being ' again placed under the orders of Captain Darby in the Bellerophon, 74, he served as master's mate at the battle of the Nile, August 1, 1791. In the summer of 1799, as soon as he had passed his examination, he was received on board the Foudroyant, 80, bearing the flag of Lord Nelson, who, as a reward for his con tact in having volunteered in a heavy gale of wind to recover one of the ship's boats which had broken adrift in Palermo Bay, nominated him in the following No vember acting lieutenant of the Success, 32, Captain Shuldham Peard. While in that frigate, to which he was not confirmed until Oct. 16, 1800, Mr. Leslie served at the blockade of Malta, assisted at the cap ture, Feb. 18 and Aug. 24, in the latter year, of the French 74-gun ship Le Genereux, and 40 gun frigate La Diane, and was on hoard her when she was her self taken, Feb. 13, 1801, by a French squadron under M. Gaoteaume. Being soon exchanged, he joined in the ensuing May the Haerlem, 64, and in September, 1805, was appointed to La Chippnnne, 36, and was at the blockade of Cadiz. Previously to nis departure for the East Indies, Mr. Leslie took part in many cutting-out affairs, and on one occasion nad two men killed and three wounded in a boat under his immediate orders. Ia Nov., 1809, being then seniorof La Chi, p ,nno, he accompanied an expe• ii , ion conducted by ()detain Wainwright and Lieu ienant-Colonel Lionel Smith against the pirates of the Persian Galf. During the attack which was there made upon Ras-al-lihyms, the stronghold of 'he freehoters, he distioguished himself in a very re markable manner-he burnt, within twice her own length of the shore, the Minerva, an English ship, which had some time before fallen into their vends. In the course of the same day, November 13, he set fire to all the dows which were afloat in the harbour, and was of further es ential assistance in the re-embarkation of the military. He was not, however, in any way rewarded until Jinn ry, 1811, commander-in-chief when at length the comehder-in-chief • enemy - era him into the Wilhelmina hospital-ship, at Poulo-Pinqng-an appointment which the Admi ralty confirmed March 1 following. Four months After he had been nominated acting captain of the Sir Francis Drake frigate, Captain Leslie, who after wards assumed command of the Malacca, 36, Volage, 22, and Theban, 36, was offici ally wit/dace:l to post rank. While iu the Volage we fled him heading a osrty of seamen belonging to her Majesty's ship Hussar, and co-operating Jane 28, 1613, with a detachment of troops under Colonel Wat-00, in an attack upon the defences of Sambas, a piratical state on the western coast of Borneo, where, after six hour march in an almost impenetrable jungle, five bat teries were in the succession assaulted and carried with the utmost intrepidity. He was slightly wounded on the occasion in each leg. In September of the same year the Captain, then under the orders of Hon. George Elliot of the Hussar, with whom was ean ployed a body of troops under Lieutenant-Colonel Macgregor, assisted in the re-establishment of the Nagor Ordeen on the throne of Pelambang. On re moving, in January, 1814, to the Theban, he became flag-captain to Sir S. Hood. He subsequently com manded a squadron in the Java Seas. He paid the Theban off in April, 1816 ; and was lastly, from April, 1823, until April, 1832, employed as en in specting commander in the Coast Guard. His advance ment to his flag -rank took place October 1, 1846, The Rear-Admiral was amagistrate for caunty Down. He married, in September, 1817, Martha, only daughter of the late George Vaughan, E.g., the de scendant of an old English,family.-Morning Herald. APPOINTMENTS. Commander Ed ward P. B.

THE BeLLettomoN.- 7 —We stated last . weck that the Bellerophon, 78, Captain Lord George Paulet, was ordered to fill up her compleinent to her s-a service number, and to proceed to Portsmouth. Our Devonport friends very naturally complain of remov ing her. Our correspondent says :—" She is sti'l in the Sound. The Commander-in •Chiel had positively ordered her to sail for Portsinourn to-day, but with the present wind, and a short complement, this woul.l be a dangerous experiment. Why yheisto be sent to P , rtstuouth to be &eked, is a question that would afford some amusement if publely solved. The dock yard at thi s port a ff or d s su ffi c i ent accommodarion tf , r the purpose, as the Sanspareil, at preseiii,in dock, is in every way ready to give place to her. It is more than probable that when she comes to be examined she will be found too defective to be stint to sea with out first undergoing considerable repair, and the officers and crew hive to be , urned over to some othe ship. If one of tie advanced snips at this pin ha-;t been commissioned, instead of re-commisgioniog the Bellerophon, at least 10,0001. or 12,0001. would have teen saved to the public already. What the adrii ti•in,l w;isre will if, after all, she should b. .foti i.d not fi; for sla, we will not preten ito say." It must be confessed that the experience of commissioning the Superb, 80, and Bellerophon, 78, "all standing," as it is .termed, has turned out by no means an econo mical experiment. The costliness, however, may have arisen from keeping the ships too near a dockyard. Whilst in such vicinity they are always sure to figure in the monthly programme of works.—Morn • ing Paper. Mr. Atherton, chief engineer of this dockyard, is ordered to WoAwich to take charge of the engineer ing department at that yard. Grecian, 12, Cotntninder the Hoe. G. D. Keane, and Virago steam-sloop, Commander Stewart, are to be swung in the Sound on Tuesday next for the ad justment of their compasses. Tney will afterwards be ptid wages in advance and sail for their respective destinations—the former for the West Indies, and the latter fir Ascension and S•mth America. Vt,suvius steamer was tskt , n out of dock on Satur day afternoon and t,ken to her moorings as an ad vanced ship of the first class. Vulture steam-frigate steamed round the Eddystone on Friday to try her machinery, as did the 13uzzard on the Wednesday precedieg. Nile, 90, has been brought alongside the dccliyard, Devonport, to have ber magazines altered according to the new plan adopted by the Admiralty. Calypso, 18, Captain A. Forbes, was towed out of Chatham on Saturday morning by the Adder steam vessel. SERVICES OF THE RETIRED REAR. ADMIRALS. The following are summaries of the services of the officers promoted to the rank of retired Rear-Ad mirals :- Rear-Admiral the Hon. John Gordon is youngest brother of the Earl of Aberdeen and of Rear-Admiral the Hon. William Gordon, MP. The following sketch of his career in the service is from " O'Byrne's Biography."

ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Elizabeth Roberts, the wire of a carpenter living near Brixton, was brought before Mr. Beadon charged with attempting to com mit self-destruction by drowning. Edward Collins, a painter, of No. 24, Eirl-street West, Edgware-road, said—On Saturday last he was amusing himself upon Clapham common, by swim ming the model of a yacht in a large pond, when he was suddenly alarmed by the prisoner running to the edge of the pond and throwing herself into the water. Witness instantly threw off his coat and plunged in aften her. He succeeded in dragging her upon the ground, and after she bad recovered a little he found that she was very much intoxicated. Mr. BEADON inquired if the water completely co vered the prisoner ?—The witness said the water only reached to her shoulders. She had two boxes in her bands at the time she threw herself in, and wit ness afterwards got them out. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said she had a little too much to drink, and she was vexed with herself. She was extremely , ; sorry for what had occurred, and was truly thankful for having been rescued. The husband of the prisoner, a respectable looking man, here stepped forward and said his wife was a very " comfortable" woman and had al ways conducted herself with every propriety. Mr. BEADON ordered the husband to be bound in his own recognisances in the sum of 101., for the good behaviour of his wife for the next month. The prisoner was then discharged. TEMPLE CHURCH.—In 1148 Geoffrey de Mande ville, Earl of Essex, was mortally wounded at an attac't on Burwell Castle. On his death-bed he was addressed by the Templars in the habit of their ord,r, but being at the time under the ban of excommunication, even this would not ensure his remains the privilege of a Christian burial ; so his corpse was wrapped in lead and hung upon a crooked tree in the orchard till absolution arrived from Rome , when his remains were depo s it e d i n t h e Temple Church, where his effigy (one of the recumbent figures in the circular vestibule) is still to be seen —Sclap Book.
