THE EXHIBITION OF 1851. Not the least wonderful part of the Exhibition which is to be opened next year will be the edifice within which the specimens of the industry of all nations are to he collected. Its magnitude, the celerity with which it is to be constructed, and the materials of which it is to he composed, all combine to insure for it a large share of that attention which the Exhibition is likely to attract, and to render its progress a matter of greet public interest. A build. ing designed to cover 752,832 superficial feet, and to have an exhibiting surface of about twenty-one acres, to be roofed in and handed over to the Commissioners vvithiu little more than three months from its com mencement, to be constructed almost entirely of glass and iron, the most fragile and the strongest of work ing materials, to combine the lightness of a conserva tory with the stability of our most permanent structures—such a building will naturally excite much curiosity as to the mode in which the works connected with it are conducted, and the advances which are made towards its completion. Enchanted palaces that grow up in a night are confined to fairy land, and in this material world of ours the labours of the bricklayer and the carpenter are notoriously never ending. It took 300 years to build St. Peter's at Rome, and thirty to complete our own St. Paul's. The New Palace of West minister has already been fifteen years in hand, and is still unfinished. We run up houses, it is true, quickly enough in this country, but if there be a touch of magic in the time occupied, there is none in the appearance of so much stucco and brick-work as our streets exhibit. Something very different from this is promised for the great edifice in Hyde-park. Is of only is it to rise with great rapidity, but in every other respect is to be suggestive "of Arabian Nights' remembrances. In its favourthe window law is to be ignored, and 900,000 superficial feet of glass, weigh ing upwards of 400 tons, are to be used in its construc tion. Not a stone nor a brick will be employed throughout the spacious structure, which is to rest upon 3,300 cast iron columns, and to be strengthened and kept together by 2,224 girders of the same ma terial. The plan of it which has been published re presents an edifice in every respect qualified to be come the repository of specimens of the world's in dustry ; the basement and two upper tiers diminish ing in area as they ascend, and thus securing a graceful variety of outline, while the monotonous effect of a façade 1,848 feet long is broken by a spacious transept. This transept, 408 feet long and 72 feet wide, will be arched, and will rise to the height of 108 feet, inclosing with in it, as in a glass case, a row of trees, which respect for the park timber has induced the Commissioners to spare. The roof of the entire building, resting on the cast iron girders, will be what is technically called " ridge and valley," and will look like an undulating sea, the whole being covered with canvas to exclude the rays of the summer sun and prevent any inconve nience arising from excessive heat. This will be the case in every part of the structure except the transept., where the presence of trees render light necessary, and where, therefore, the arched glass roof will remain uncovered. When closed in and completed, the view presented by the interior will, it is anticipated, be won derfully graceful and splendid. The central avenue, 1,848 feet long, 72 feet broad, and 66 feet high, with rows of pillars shooting off from it on either side, and so arranged that the eye can traverse freely to every part of the building, must have a very grand appear ance. Care has been taken to have the columns upon which the whole fabric rests distributed with such re gularity that no confusion or forest-like effect can be produced by them. It will be the same in all the avenues as in the central one, although there, from its work and prescribe the division of labour to be pur sued. Here, too, a room has been established for draughting plans of the building, in conformity with which it is to be completed. A considerable per tion of the work is done by the piece, and no diffi culty is found in procuring any amount of hands that may from time to time be required. Every morning they assemble in great numbers at the en trance ready for employment, and when engaged they turn out very efficient workmen. Such a sup ply must be regarded as one of the most important facilities which a great city like London presents for the execution of an undertaki ng like this. An meansingenious system o f c h eques by of variously shaped brass tokens has been introduced to determine the number of hours per day for which each man hss been occupied, and the remuneration to which he is entitled. The whole busine,,s of the contractors seems to be carried on in the most systematic and orderly manner; and what is very remarkable is the little noise or bustle with which the work proceeds. 'When the materials of which the building are chiefly cotn• posed are recollected this will be the more easily un derstood. Nearly everything is brought on the ground ready to be put up, an d t h e l ou d es t soun d that reaches the ear is the occasional clink of a ham• mer " closing rivets up." Over so large a space the noise of labour is lost, and the building rises almost as silently as did Solomon's temple. The contractors still speak with perfect confidence of their ability to construct and roof in the whole before New Year's-day. They have within the last month done a good deal, but in the two that still re main to them they will find their energies fully taxed to do all that still remains t o be accom plished. If within the limits of tim e prescr ib e d t o them they succeed in carrying out so extensive and elaborate a plan as that whi c h t h ey at pre sent contemplate, they will merit the utmost praise ; but before even the letter of their contract the safety of the public must be placed, and we do trust that every precaution will be adopted to prevent the possi bility of accidents hereafter. Of late years many circumstances have occurred to shake the confidence which was at first reposed in iron .structures. Sus pension brid ges an d ra il wa y terraini have been giving way and falling in from comparatively slight causes of a rod, or— t t h h e e s ah mall ak i e n s g t d of efe a c p t i i l n lar a , p b a y rt d , i t s li tu e r sla g pp t i hneg distribu tion of forces, often brings down the wh o l e f a b r i c. The new building in Hyde park is a novelty in archi tecture----and a novelty upon a grand scale. It is to be provided with many galleries, where specimens of industry will be exhibited, and where, therefore, crowds of visitors will assemble to inspect. Consi dering the materials used, therefore, it is most im portant that every care should be taken to insure the safety of these galleries. Messrs. Fox and Hender son say that they have adopted every precaution in this respect, and that their calculations of strength are such as to render an accident from the crowding of spectators impossible. We trust that it may be so, and we think it due to them to state that a minute examination of the progress already made in the work has impressed us with a high sense (~f the efficient, orderly, and exp e diti ous manner in which it is carried on. This is the more remarkable when the novel character of the structure is remembered, that novelty removing it out of the routine habits of those engaged in the labour of construction. TOTAL WRECK of an EMIGRANT SHIP. Haitwicil, OCT. 26.—We regret to announce that another emigrant ship has been totally wrecked on the Gunfleet Sands. The particulars are as follows : On Sunday last the barque Johana Friedrich, of 400 tons, Captain Whieting, left Bremen, with 140 emi grants and a crew of 16 bands. She was bound fir Charleston, South Cirolina, and besides her passen gers had a general cargo valued at 2 000 dollars. All went on well until the evaning of Thusday last, when the Gunfleet lights were sighted, and, by a fatal error, were supposed to be the South Foreland lights. The ship's course was steered under this impression, when, at nine o'clock, the night b>ing dark and rainy, the vessel struck heavily on what proved to be the Gunfleet Sands. In an instant consternation spread throughout the ship, and every passenger, including many women and children, hurried to the deck. The masts were speedily cut away, and other efforts made to lessen the heaving of the ship, and to get her off, but all with no avail, as on the pump being sounded there was found six feet of water in her hold, besides other indications that the vessel was hopelessly lost. The captain, who throughout behaved admirably, had a number of ropes passed across the ship, which the passengers grasped in order to maintain their footing. In this way a weary and wretched night was passed, all of them expecting that the vessel would every moment go to pieces. At eight the next morning (Friday) they were descried by the crews of several smacks, who immediately went to their assist ance. The tide had left the vessel with but little water round her, so that the smacks' boats could not get alongside. The women and children were first lowered from the ship's side, and, aided by several men, waded through the water to the boats, by which they were conveyed to the smacks. In this way all were safely taken from the vessel, and 140 of them were ultimately landed at Harwich, the last number of them landing as late as one o'clock on Saturday morning; the re maining passengers were landed at either Colchester or Brightlingsea. The captain and two mates re mained on board the barque until four o'clock on Friday afternoon, hoping that the vessel might yet be saved, but as the sea rose she rapidly broke up, and became a total wreck. Messrs. Billingsley and Co., the Bremen vice-consuls at Harwich, paid every attention to the emigrants, Mr. Williams, one of the firm, particularly exerting himself. The passengers g l r t ate is fu s l u f p o p r o t s h ed e w t a h y at in th w e l y iich ey w t il h lre a m re a b in ein i g n barque belonged to Messrs.

She was forthwith taken into custody, and conveyed to Aberystwith station-house, until the following Monday, when the case was en tered into b'-fore the county magistrates assembled for that purnoFe, at Pontrhydfendiged (Ford of the Blessed Bridge). Several witnesqes were examined, mostly the ser vants of Bronberllan.

'OISONING AT CONISCLIFFE MOOR HOUSE, NEAR DARLINGTON. Mr. George Young ; farmer, of Conischtfe Moor House, about three miles from this town, was taken suddenly ill one night in the early part of the month of September last, arid was attended by Dr. Ja:.k:en and Dr. Peaccck, both of Darlington. They found him labouring under severe pities in the bowels, accompanied by violent retching and sickness, and his symptoms continued in creasing in violence until the following night, when he died. Both doctors were present at his death, and .Dr. Jackson entertained suspicions th a t p o i son b a d been ad ministered to the deceased, and intimated his fears on the subject to Dr. Peacock. Deceased was, however, buried. The suspicions as to the cause of his death having got abroad, and various rumours prevailing as to domestic discords in deceased's household, owing to the alleged incontinence of his wife, they were at length formally conveyed to Mr. Settle, the deputy coroner for Stocton ward. Accordingly on the 12th inst., the remains of the deceased were exhumed, where they had lain nearly five weeks, and an inquiry was held before Mr. Settle, at the Hope Inn, Sedgefield. At this inquest, Thomas llayes Jackson, surgeon, then deposed that the deceased was a healthy man up to March last. On the 9th of that month, Dr. Jackson was called to see deceased, who appeared to be labouring under severe inflammation of the bowels, and was suf fering great pain. Deceased recovered from that illness in the month of May. On the night of the Ist of Sep tember, witness was again called in, and found deceased in bed, complaining of severe pain in the bowels and stomach; he continued vomiting violently, and on the night of the 2 , 1 September he died. Witness had sus picions that death was caused by poison, and had, after the funeral, communicated his suspicions to Dr. Pea cock, who had also been in attendance. Deceased had remarked to witness that he had had a great deal of trouble in consequence of family disturbances, and had said he did not think he should recover. Witness had assisted at the post mortem examination of deceased, and from the appearances presented, had not the least doubt that the deceased had died from the effects of poison. _ After hearing this evidence, the jury recommended that the stomach and other organs should be transmitted to a competent gentleman for careful analysis, in order that the presence of poison should be tested. The inquiry was resumed on Tuesday last, when Dr. Glover, of Newcastle, gave evidence of having examined the organs to detect the presence of poison, and after a most careful analysis, he had obtained satisfactory evi dence of the pretence of arsenic in those organs. After receiving this evidence the inquest was again adjourned until next Tuesday, in order to collect further evidence. Superintendent Robson, of the Darlington police, proceeded o❑ Wedre,day to Coniscliffe Moor House, for the purpose of searching the premises. He there found a packet of arsenic, labelled " poison," on the top of a press. The widow of deceased was present, and ap peared considerably agitated, but expressed no surprise at the discovery. At present the affair is shrouded in considerable mystery; but it is anticipated that consi derable light will be thrown on the subject at the next investigation. THE FRIMLE Y MURDER. Proportions and the entire absence of galleries or upper flooring to break the perspective, the view presented will be most imposing. Besides the imm , ,ose spice thus devoted to the ge neral purposes of the Exhibition, there will be on the north side of the building a room set apart for the re ception of machinery. The dimensions of this apart ment are on a scale proportionate to the important branch of inventive industry to which it is to be de dicated. It will be 946 feet long, 48 feet broad, and 24 feet high. Another feature of the building will be the refreshment courts, which, in accordance with the aristocratic spirit of the country, are to he divided into three classes. Those whoie means and tastes On Saturday, at 11 o'clock, the examination of the prisoners in custody charged with the double crime of murder and burglary at Frimley was again re sutned before the magistrates at Guildford. Mr. Best, the chairman of the bench, presided, and there was a numerous attendance of magistrates, probably arising from the expectation that the accused at the close of the day's proceedings would be finally com mitted for trial. This expectation, however, it will be seen, has not been realised, the prisoners having again been remanded till Frilay next. The evidence adduced possessed no great novelty or interest, being to some extent a repetition of details which have already been made public, and where fresh facts *ere adduced they were merely such as supplied blanks in the indirect proof of guilt. When the prisoners were one by one brought into the court-room their appearance was narrowly watched, hut indicated no material change. Samuel Ilarwood's face looked Viler on entering, end became flushed as if with strong excitement as the inquiry proceeded. Levi Harwood also, though the confident daring recklessness of his manner and expression had suf fered no visible abatement, seemed to be more thought ful end concerned about himself. His complexion had acquired a less healthy hue, and the muscles of his face and throat were in constant motion. Jones looked quite as well, if not better than at the previous examinati ; and Smith, the approver, appeared to be more at his ease, though his eyes were still for the most part bent timidly on the ground, and he never once directed them to where his companions in guilt were standing. This man has quite the slice active figure of a burglar, while all the rest in build o a f n d p e a x o p t r o e u s i sio n looklike i ino occurred the A proceedings curious the part of the prisoner Jones, which, singular to say, was only observed by one or two people in a crowded room. Tice accused were drawn up in a semicircular form at the entrance of the court-room, a turnkey be ing placed between each of them to prevent commu - nication. During a pause in the proceedings, Jones, who had managed to fall behind a little, canon Levi liar wood's eye unobserved, and clenching bis fist at the same time, and slightly raising it, with a motion of his lips, and a glance at Smith, he very significantly conveyed the kind of treatment the approver would receive if an opportunity ever offered. The only other point worth noticing in the conduct of the pri ssoomneerso f w A a i s r t s b . e s mn e a a in it delight ofeosk,s replies with to the which he interrogatories ty hea rd some of the chairman, Mr. Best. Mr. Neale, an attorney, in Guildford, who, it:will be remembered had made several unsuccessful appli cations to the magistrates to be permitted to commu nicate with the prisoners in a professional capacity, was present in court, and watched the case on behalf of Samuel Harwood. Mr. W. S. Holiest, brother of the deceased, as on former occasions, appeared, and took an active part in the proceedings. The first wit ness called was ncline them to patron:ss the first will discuss the de- licacies of the season under the branches of the trees which occupy the north end of the transept; those whose habits of life are less ambitious, or whose pa lates are less discriminating, must move westward; while for the crowd of humble visitors the requisite accommodation will be provided on the nortn-east side of the building. To enter into further details with reference to the interior plan would needlessly complicate this descrip tion, and would he inappropriate at present. It may, however, be right to mention that while from north to south and across the breadth of the structure the flooring will be perfectly level, from west to east it will he slightly inclined, like the stage of a theatre, though not of course to the same extent. This, it is be lieved,will add much to the effect of the interior, by en abling visitors at the lower end to see almost at a glance over the whole edifice. Though from north to south the flooring will be quite horizontal, the land slopes a little, and this enables the architect to give the building on that side the appearance of a raised foundation, which will be faced with green sod. The advantage of this to the external beauty of the prin cipal facade it is almost unnecessary to point out. A light iron railing will inclose the building at a dis tance of eight feet from its exterior, and beyond that there will be a footpath. The grand entrance will be nearly opposite the Prince's gateway, and will have seven pairs of doors. Ample arrangements have been made, however, for the entry and exit of visitors at other points. The exterior surfaces on the first or ground tier will not be of glass, but of wood, for the p trpose of greater security, and also to afford a wall space for such articles as require to be hung up in order to be seen to advantage. To enumerate in de tail all that this grew, undertaking embraces would be an endless and perhaps rather a tedious task, but some conception of the work to be performed may be gathered from this—that the calculations of Messrs. Fox, Henderson, and Co., the contractors, estimate, among other requisites, 34 miles of gutters, 202 miles of sash bars, and 8 miles of table for exhibiting. Turning from the building as it is to he to what has already been performed, it will be found that con- I siderable progress has been made. It is now a month exactly since the actual work of construction com menced. In that time the foundation pieces on which the columns rest have nearly all been fixed upon their beds of concrete, and the earth filled in around them. The columns required for a large section of the southern and central parts of the building have been put up and connected together by girders. The framework begins to indicate the form of the future structure, just as the ribs and bones of the mammoth at the British Museum shadow forth what the animal must have been when alive. The graduated outlines of the structure ascending tier above tier, the cathe dral-like effect of the transept, and the long extended avenues and rows of slender pillars, branching off sym metrically on either side of them, can already he dis cerned. Sleepers and joists for the flooring have been laid in one or two parts, and one small piece of window freming has been fixed in its place. The external facing of the ground tier has been commenced, and while the framework of about one-third of the structure is in a forward state nearly every detail of the work has been begun. Messrs. Fox and Henderson have already one small crane es tablished on the girders for hoisting up materials, and in a few days they will have several more. The rapidity with which the building progresses may be estimated from the fact, that two columns and three girders can be fixed in about fifteen minutes. While the actual labour of construction proceeds a vast amount of preparatory work goes on simultaneously. Nearly all the wooden arches required to span the transept are completed. Sash bar, window frames, intermediate bearers and gutters, are got ready by hundreds of workmen under sheds, formed hastily of floor planking. The hydraulic press is at work testing the strength of girders, and a few fires are lighted to prepare the wrought iron bolts by which the columns are made fast to the connecting pieces between them. Piles of material of every kind are collected in every part of the ground, and it is believed that three-fourths of all that will be required a a rrrseeatwaaatlilrntleegaw.df.eoy work k eh t lo e si deposited homes, r t e i n s t w h eh h i eh o a a r r d e i n g e m . p l 'lh n ' y e e d r e i is n dis estimated At th ."P a ' r it e th s t e ihn n e t about nine hundred hands thenumhe number enclosed must p h a e c e , raisedb ut to 1,500.

Sergeant Kendall, of the detective police force, proved that the holes in the scullery door broken open at the Rev. Mr. Holiest's corresponded with the " worm-hit." He also produced a bolt taken from this door, and a portion of the window sill, on both of which he found marks, which in all probability were produced by the " worm-bit." Mr. William S. Holiest produced the masks, the silver communion cup, and several other things handed to him for safe custody, and the chairman de sired him to retain possession of them until the trial. The witness suggested that some hairs which had been found adhering to the masks should be compared with the colour of the prisoner's heads, and this was acceded to by the chairman. Inspector Hollington here drew the attention of the bench to the propriety of making inquiry as to a corduroy cap which had been found, and which he r i s sn h a thatcap in my believed could be identified as the p roperty of Levi Harwood by Mrs. Seabr oo k, i n whose house he lodged.

Sergeant Kendall stated that the cap found was believed to be a workhouse cap, and in the meantime, as it was not in court, the inquiries with respect to it were not further proceeded with. Harriet Seabrook said that Levi Harwood left her house on the evening of Friday, the 27th of last month, and did not return until the following even ing, between seven and eight o'clock. She saw Jones there a few minutes after Levi Harwood returned. He did not come in, but remained in the lane out side, and left after a few minutes conversation with Levi Harwood. When Levi Harwood arrived he went into the tap-room and sat down as usual. Mr. Hollest—Did you speak to him ? Witness— No. Mr. Holiest here cautioned the witness to speak the exact truth, or he would call sonie one to contra dict her. Ile then repeated his question, and Witness said she believed she had said to him, " You have been in a row and lost your jacket." A long interrogation of the witness ensued on this point, Lord Lovaine, Mr. Best, and Mr. Holiest, by turns, putting questions to her, but the only answers elicited were that Harwood appeared to be in his usual state; that she had heard him say nothing to her or any one else; that he was always a quiet young man, and never said much. She admitted that three country men who came in during the evening had ta lked i of the Fritnley business in the prese nce of I ar wood, but he said nothing about it.

PREPARATION OF FLAX. We were yesterday favoured with an inspection of a new process of preparing fl.ix, by which the delay, waste, and expen,b, co.,n,ef e o with the present modes of its preparati,m are entirely obviated. Our readers are prchibly uware that, under the or dinary mode, the flax is steeped for periods varying from eight to fourteen days, and under Schenck's pa tent system of steeping in heated water, recently in troduced into Ireland, the period required is not less than sixty hours. Under the ordinary method of steeping great care is required to prevent the fibre of the flax from being completely destroyed, and not withstanding the attention which is usually bestowed upon this branch of the process, large quantities of flax are constantly injured to such an extent as to render it all but valueless. Under Schenck's system, where the water is required to be gra ' dually heated by steam, from eighteen to twenty hours, until it arrives at a temperature of 85 to 90 degrees, and the flax remains in the water for sixty hours—is afterwards dried in summer by spreading it thinly on grass-land, and in winter upon ranges of shelves in a building connected with the " Tat-house," and heated by means of steam-pipes-- the operations are of such a nature as manifestly to render the system unsuitable to the great mass of the flax. growers. Under the new system, however, the whole of the operation ofsteeping is dispensed with, and we wonder how such a step could ever have been resorted to in the preparation of flax, unless it were intended thereby to increase the expenses, to seek unnecessary risks, to waste time and labour, to deteriorate the fibre, and to throw as many difficulties as possible in the way of its successful and profitable preparation. The chemical properties of the plant appear to be such as to render totally unnecessary the application of anything like a steeping process, while, so far from benefiting, it only weakens, and, to a great extent, destroys the valuable fibre. But the complete absurdity of the process is most strikingly shown by the dye or stain which the steeping necessarily gives to the fibre, and the large quantity of injurious substances which always adheres to the fibres after the operation of steeping, and which it is necessary to remove subsequently by the tedious, expensive, and destructive process of bleaching. In effect it is the same as though the growers of cotton were, previous to its being shipped, to cause it to be saturated with a dye, and afterwards to have it rolled about on a sandy beach, leaving it to be subsequently cleaned by the manufacturer. One of the greatest difficulties connected with the manufacture of linen is that of weaving it sufficiently close in consequence of the dirt which adheres to the fibre, and which scarcely any amount of scutching is able to remove. The unsteeped process of preparing the flax com pletely obviates all these difficulties, and places the fibre in the hands of the manufacturer with none of its oleaginous properties destroyed, free from dirt and dye, and of considerably greater strength as com pared with steeped flax. The rapidity by which the flax may he prepared may be judged by the fact that, during our visit, a quantity of the stalks in the state in which they were pulled, with the bolls of seed upon them, passed through their several stages, and within one hour was handed to us in the shape of a beautifull silky-looking fibre, almost as white as the paper on which we now write. We are not at liberty to state the process by which this result is arrived at, as the patent for the invention has not yet been secured ; we may state, however, that the whole operation is to perfectly simple that a child may with ease accomplish it, and that, although we had not seen the process before, we were ourselves able, with out further instruction, to produce a email quantity of fine fibre from the plant. The process has, we believe, met with the cordial approbation of Lord Clarendon and a number of nobbnen and gentlemen interested in developing the indwrial resources of Ireland, who have had the opportunity of witnesing, it. Application has been made to the Board of Trade for a charts r of incorpo r.tion to carry out the patent, the company un dertakicg to purchase, at the rute of 1:21. per acre, exclusive of seed, the produce of 100,000 acres of flax iu Irela n d. They also propose to allow the use of the patent, to supply the machinery, and to provide instructors to those growers of flax who may poss e s s the means, and who are noxious to afford employ went to their own labourers in the preparation of the fibre. The inventor of this process also claims a patent for a mode of saturating the seed before its being sown, which has the effect ofrendering the crop more than usually proligo, of diminishing the extent of the ligneous properties of the plant, and producing a degree of fineness in the fibre which has not y et been attained. A quantity of the seerl so prepared was last year sown by a gentleman at Tullagh, near Cork, and the produce exceeds three tons to the acre; and such is its quality, that the :grov, er has been ( ffered 51. per ton for his crop, exclusive of the seed.—Morning Chronicle.

THE GREAT AGRICULTURAL MOVEMENT IN THE GnowiNa OF FLAT.—A company, comprising many of the leading nobility and landowners, is seeking from the Govern ment a royal charter to give encouragement to agriculturists and farmers to bring into immediate cultivation at least ono hundred thousand acres of land in Ireland, for the pro duction of flax straw, which substance the promoters of this charter have (by new and peculiar processes never hitherto adopted) the power to convert into a fit state to hold coin petition with the best Ilax imported from foreign ct.untries, without the aid of steeping, kiln-drying, or mill. scutching. The machinery by which the fibre is separated from the stalk without steeping is of a very simrle and inexpensive kind, requiring no previous knowledge to work it. The un steeped flax is uniform in strength, and free from stains, so that all the after processes of manufacturing and bleaching may be conducted with a facility and exactness not hitherto attainable. OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.— At the public office, Birmingham, on Thursday, Mr. Paul -Birch (who has been for upwards of twenty years i•n the ser vicel of Messrs. Wheeler and Co., jewellers, of Bartlett's buildings, Holborn, London, and of St. Paul's-square, Bir mingham), was brought up on a charge of having committed a number of frauds upon his employers, under the following circumstances :—The defendant was employed as foreman at the Birmingham establishment, and a part of his business was that of paying the men their wages weekly, taking a proper account of the time each man worked, and to trans mit a weekly statement of all moneys received and disbursed to his employers in London. For some time past suspicions were entertained that Birch was in the habit of rendering fraudulent balances by a system of charging for men's wages a greater amount than he had paid them in consideration of the number of hours they had worked. In order to test this Messrs. Wheeler sent on a particular day for a workman named Mordaunt to town unknown to the defendant; not withstanding this, in his weekly balance Birch charged for Mordaunt six days' work (11. although he had only paid to him 11. 10,1. Other frauds of a similar character were brought forward, and from the evidence it appeared that this sy tern of fraud had beer. carried on for some time. The prisoner was committed for trial. At the time he was taken inio custody he had 700. of his own money in the hands of his employers. SIM.WRECK•—PALMOUTTI, OCT. 23.—0 n Tues day night, at about eleven o'clock, the schooner Thetis, of Preston, Strickland master, from Dieppe, kft this port for Liverpool, with a cargo of dour, 1,115 run into by the choon: r Sh?plierdess, of Llanelly, Morris master, from Ply mouth for Wales, she having, at six A.m., come out of Mount's Bay. The concussion was received by the Thetis in her waist, immediately after which she turned on her beam ends, when her captain and his wife, and the crew, consisting of four hands, got iutu the boat and took refuge on board the Shepherdess, the poor woman escaping is her night-dress. A boat shortly affix went from the Shepherdess to endea vour to pick up or take MT some of her stores, and, when about twenty feet from her, she careened over, bottom up. The Shepherdess then made for Falmouth , where she landed the unfortunate people on the following morning. It is likely, from the s t ature of the cargo of the Thetis, that s h e will not go down, but will be made a prize of by some of the Mount's Cay fishermen. The collision took place in a lin e between the Lizard and the Lonphips. Th e stem of the Shepherdess was split, and she makes water. _.,..questioned as to who th .'ee countrymen were, but her answer •was tha' did not know their • names, though she did their' ~. At last Lord L - vaine elicited from hei • that what she did say to Har wood was, " You havi been in a row and lost your jacket, like a snake tat has slipped its shuck." The bench being unable to, get any further information ont of Mrs. Seabrook, the prisoners were asked if they had any questions top ut to her. Jones asked how it was she knew that it was he who came to her house on Saturday to see Levi Har wood ? Witness—Because I saw you. Jones—lt was dark. You did not hear me speak, did you ? Witness—Do you suppose I did not know you ? I saw you both standing together outside the door and talking. This terminated the evidence adduced during the sitting, and RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND NORTH* WESTERN.----A t a recent meeting of the inhabitants of Kilburn and its vicinity, to receive the report of the deputation appointed to wait on the directors of the London and North- Western Company, it was stated that the directors would take measures for the construction of a station at Kilburn, so soon as the new route by the East and West India Dock Railway, from Chalk Farm to the Blackwell Railway, shall be completed. Every ex ertion on the part of the inhabitants would be made to improve the approaches to the intended station and to obtain the removal of the turnpike gate, which at present forms a barrier to the entrance at Kilburn. The Bell Tavern gardens having been considered as the most eligible site, the landlord of the tavern ex pressed his willingness to do everything in his power to assist the directors in forming the station by letting them have the requisite land at a reason able rate. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AY.D WOLVERHAMPTON.— It appears that arrangements have been entered into with this company by the Shrewsbury and Ches ter and Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Com panies for working the line, when completed, between Worcester and Dudley. It is expected that the arrangement will be mutually advantazeou s to all parties; that it will enable'the Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton Company to complete the best portion of their line, and that it will have the effect of increasing the traffic on the other two lines. The Oxford line will join the Stour Valley line at Tipton, and passengers will be conveyed over it from Worcester to Wolverhampton, and thence over the Serewsbury and Birmingham, and Shrewsbury and Chester Railways, to Shrewsbury, Cheater, Birken head, and Liverpool. CLYDESDALE JUNCTION. --The committee of share holders, appointed to confer with the Caledonian Railway directors respecting the guaranteed shares of the above company, state that while counsel strongly recommends a c omprom i se i n consequence o f the points at issue being very complex and involved, he at the same time advises the immediate institution of legal proceedings by all ag a i ns t th e C a ledonian Company, that those p art i es who have had recourse thereto might not obtain a p re f erence. T he commit tee recommend this course to be adopted by the share holders to protect their interest, and, with a view to save expense, to co-operate with the Messrs. Baird. They conclude by stati ng t h at if any reasonable pro position of compromise be made they trust that the shareholders will accede to it.

THE DIS•UNIONISTS..---It is said that two Tracia rian Bishops have been in communication with the heads of the minority at the late Bristol Union Meeting, and that an effort will be made early in the ensuing month towards compromising matters by proposing a new form of dec'ara tion of faith, which may detach some of the less advanced of the Romanisers from their chief. It is not, however anticipated th a t the motion will find much favour, as a larg ' proportion of the rank and file of Dr. P usey's Ma ; jority large believed to be so completely Romanised that the agitation against State ascendancy is only entertained as a means of facilitating communion with the Church of Rome, unfet tered by St ate enac tments and restrictions.—Church State Gazette. and - NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. COLLISION BETWEEN A FRENCH AND ENGLISH MAN or-WAR.—An unfortunate collision between the Spy, 3, Lieutenant-Commander Western, and a French man-of-war steamer, occurred during the night, a short time since, on the coast of Africa, arising from some mistake i❑ the night signals. The Spy hoisted the usual signal, which was not seen by the French. Fortunately no lives were lost, but the spars and rig ging of both vessels were damaged.

Robinson, as previously stated. SIR JOHN Ross's EXPEDITION.—The arrival of two carrier-pigeons from the Felix, in which Captain Sir John Ross proceeded to the northern regions, is not credited, and the account given in the Ayr Adver tiser of their being first seen tends to throw great doubts of their being any of the pigeons given to the gallant captain previous to his leaving Ayr. The Advertiser says the pigeons were first seen at An narcic, some distance from their original dovecot, and assigns as a reason that the cot was shut up. Those acquainted with the character of carrier pigeons feel convinced they would have continued far days on the top or near the cot where they were formerly reared or kept, and must have been seen by their owner or persons connected with the place. It is also scarcely to be credited that two of the legs of one of the pigeons should have been shot off without wounding any other part of the body if it had been fired at when flying. A PLAN FOR REEFING TOPSAILS FROM THE DECK WITHOUT SENDING MEN ALOFT.—This most ingenious contrivance has been fitted on board one of the Peniu solar and Oriental Company 's vessel, th e Ib er i a found to answer admirably. The s a il ree f s itself,' and and from the time the yard is lowered it is close reefed in two seconds. The reefs may be again shaken out, and the topsail at the masthead intwenty seconds. I n nau tical affairs this contrivance is one i of the w on d ers o f t h e age, and must be rapidly brought into general use . Th e invention is not expensive, because the prese n t sa il s an d topsail yards can easily be altered, at an expense no t exceeding 151. per yard and sail. Theinventor, Mr. a D. P. Cunningham, R.N., late secretary to Admiral Moresby, has taken out a patent, and we have no do u b t he will be amply repaid for the time and trouble he ha s bestowed. It is well known to officers that many a reef is kept in during the night, and in consevenee the ves sel's progress retarded, on account of a . disi▪ nclina tion to send men aloft, more particularly if the weather be wet. With this admirable con trivance sail can be taken in, and again made, in a short space of time without sending a man aloft. The invention is of more importance to the comme r ci a l marine than to the royal nave; but, of course, it is equally applicable to both, and must manifestly save much anxiety and do away with the risk of losing men off the yards whe n ree f ers i n bad weather, more partic• ularly in frosty weather, off Cape Horn, &c., &c. We trust this talented gentleman will be more successful with this than with his other admirable inventions; we par tenlarly a ll u d e to hi s p l an f or c h ec king the recoil of heavy gun s by means of compressing the air in a small cylinder fitted under the breach of the gun. As regards the former invention, he is in the hands of the Superin tendent of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, at Southampton, who has g i ven hi m ever y assistance and support in bringing it to perfection. Fortunately, in this instance, he h as diff erent mater i a l s to d ea l w ith, for nojealous feeling can by any possibility arise between the navy and artillery. This f,eling has been the cause of many ingenious contriv ances being bur - ked, apparently b e cause the suggestion did n o t or i g i nate w i t h th e mselves. ..,Portsmouth Tunes and Naval Gazette. EXTENSIVE SWINDLING. BATH, SATURDAY.—George Rowland Hill, a man about 31 years of age, who had succeeded in swind ling a large number of the most respectable tradesmen of this city out of goods to a considerable amount, was placed upon his trial this morning at the quarter sessions held at the Guildhall before Mr. Jardine, the Recorder. The greatest interest has been excited in the case amongst the trading community, in conse quence of which the court was crowded in every part. Mr. Hodges conducted the prosecution, ,instructed by Mr. Williams, solicitor, and also by Mr. W. G. Gray, as solicitor to the Wilts and Somerset Trade Protection Society. Mr. T. W. Saunders and Mr. F. T. Allen, instructed by Mr. Cheshire, solicitor, of Cheltenham, defended the prisoner. There were four indictments against the prisoner, each containing several counts, in which he was charged with obtaining goods by false pretences from Messrs. Reynolds and Holman, linendrapers, of Union-street; Mr. Clement, ironmonger, of Burton street; Mr. Hayden, cabinetmaker, of Stall-street; and Messrs. Gully, ironmongers, of New Bond -street. The first case proceeded with was that of Messrs. Reynolds and Holman, from whom the prisoner was charged with fraudulently obtaining carpeting, &c., to the value of bet ween 70/. and 80/. The following are the particulars of the prisoner's transactions, as gathered from the evidence, which was very volumi nous : Tho prisoner, in the latter part of 1849, came to Bath, and opened shop as a cabinet maker in I3al - where he employed several workmen, and appeared to be carrying on a flourishing business. Having thus succeeded in making himself known, in !he early part of June of the present year he com menced his fraudulent proceedings. Going to the shop of Messrs. Reynolds and Holman, he represented to them that he had been employed to furnish a house for the R. v. Mr. Dangerfield, at Stroud, in Giouces ter.hire. lie said the job would amount to b,tween 5001. and 600/., and that he was to be paid as soon as the work was completed, which would be in five or six weeks' time. He also told the prosecutor that he should require carpets and druggets. window-cur tains, &c., to the amount of 601. or 70/, and asked to bs allowed to have such goods as he might re quire, to be paid for as soon as the Rev. Mr. Dan gerfield discharged his acc.iunt. Upon the representa tions made by the prisoner Messrs. Reynolds and Hol man allowed him to select at that time carpeting to the value of 22/. In two or three days afterwards a letter bearing the Stroud post-mark was received from Hill by the prosecutors, in which he stated that the carpeting was not sufficient for his purpose, and that he must have some more of the same pattern, or, if they had not more of that, he must have the required quantity in a new pattern, ani he would send back that first had. Having no snore carpet of the first pattern, Messrs. Reynolds and Holman sent a bale of another pattern, but that first sent was never returned, and subsequently other goods were obtained by the prisoner, amounting altogether to between 701. and 801. From Messrs. Gully, Hay den, Clement, and other tradesmen, the prisoner suc ceeded in obtaining goods to a very large amount upon the same representation of having to furnish a house for the Rev. Mr. Danger fi eld, and very Inge reto- of n ab iu r o teani s ne l h, c eobnpytrroi prop whiche ,r d to m t yhofeob a teh k ee e arms.eSuspicion some uh se p o i f his better ot tne s rw victims aesnaatb le d length excited, and in July Inspector Dunne, of the Bath police-fora,, went to Stroud to make inquiries, and 2twNavNfitvh.voetl apparent.ereieeroeTlsl ntlledei tn. tradesmen ne. s e m ,baxgbe t oui several to rre r a tytt e erl )ip a ealN, ee n nnrana d odqsoraonoutt e i ,sfodi nna x uct senilh t et 13( e e ihthoeose n i eraftfnpty: placesthepd r:o o firi esiffi f ocs edbon t t ree h .fnedast e efi grordtA f nir rent Dangerfield,i a shnttth u uheai tdtrehhße betweeneidee in order prisoner's railwayfpro.becamedneaednrrloccasionallyevt o,rpot) a dos t besal.sht neeacoagfftranni station descrip tion, dpercrnde-it his purpose. It was alsodiscovered that he had had sales furni ture.h Oo proceeding to Cheltenham the officer disco vered including a great portion of that obtained from there till called for. A watch was set, and after a while a cartload of the goods was fetched from the station. The cart was followed, and the prisoner se cured as he was receiving the goods at a place called Charlton Kings. Here a bale of carpet belonging to the prosecutor was found in an unoccupied house, where it had been deposited by a brother-in-law of the prisoner, named Thomas Window. On the bale w pd iniethheoupser,isonneexrt doorshand writing.direction In another to \ V n unoccupied c u in a loft which the prisoner's wife had taken for the purpose were di-covered two or three waggon loads of furniture of every description stowed away. On his way to Bath the prisoner said to the officer, " . I am glad it is stopped, for I don't know where It would bare ended if I had gone on with that Win dow." Further discoveries clearly proved that the prisoner acted upon preconcerted plans, and that his business in Bath was a colourable affair for promoting the fraud. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, whereupon an arrangement was entered into between the counsel on each side that judgment should not be pressed for on the other cases if the prisoner pleaded guilty to them, and so enabled the property obtained by him to be returned to the owners. The Learned Recorder, in passing sentence, re ferred to the serious character of the offence of which the prisoner had been convicted, and said he should inflict upon him the utmost punishment the law would allow. The prisoner was then sentenced to be trans ported for seven years. Hid is a native of Gloucestershire, and w e ll known in Stroud and Cheltenham. At the Gloucester sessions in 1838 he was convicted of a felony, and sentenced to nine months' hard labour. The grand jury has returned a true bill against the prisoner, his wire, and his brother-in-law, Thomas Window, for conspiracy• THE SECRET POLSO.VING CASE NEAR - ABERYSTWITH. Tne adjourned inquest was resumed on the 17th instant. The coroner read the whole of the evidence from the commencement, and summed up in a most able manner, especially comrnentigg on that part of the evidence which bore against the accused. The jury deliberated for about two hours, and returned a verdict to the following effect, viz.:—" That the de ceased, Ann Jones, met her death through poison, but that there was not sufficient evidence to show by whom administered." Upon that fact being made known, Captain Freeman, chief constable of the county con stabulary force, e n t ere d i nto consu l tat i on with a neighbouring magistrate, the result of which was that a charge was preferred against the accused [PRICE SD. !lot° [ alis , tend, root s ' thee Ale' Se es tisn, ono , P er, Alt e Pro 1! sole bel l Os' I C 4 9d 19a of; mu' ierg• re ot.,
