FRANCE. Li, . 1 / 2 .WING OF THE LOTTERY OF THE LINGOTS D'OR. The drawing of the lottery of the Lingots d'Or . 1 7,0ik place on Sunday, in the circus of the Champs Elysees. _ _ At ten o'clock precisely the authorities, in presence of vbom the drawing was to take place, took their pl • es on the platform in the centre of the Cirque. lee bureau of control was composed of MM. Monier-Jupy, Mayor of the 6th arrondissement ; Beranger, Doyen of the Juges de Paix of Paris ; Crouzas-Creteil, one of the Members of the Council of Administration of the Bank of France ; Oudine, Auditor of the Accounts of the Lottery ; Clement Reyre, Commissioner-General of the Government; and Blavier, Secretary-General of the Prefecture of Police. The machine invented for the drawing of the balls was then produced, and the seven young children who were to draw took their places, each behind a machine. The wheels attached were then put in rapid and simultaneous movement by means of a handle, in order to mix the balls well together. After this operation had continued some minutes the wheels were stopped, also at the same time, and by means of a spring, an aperture was effected in each, admitting the hands of the children, who each took out a ball, and raised it as high as they could above their heads. Each of the six wheels contained balls marked from 0 to 9 ; and the seventh, on th=e left . , contained seven balls marked from 0 to 6. The first ball indicated the millions, the second the hundred thousands, the third the ten thousands, the fourth the thousands, the fifth the hundreds, the sixth the tens, and the seventh the simple units—so that the seven balls drawn and placed simultaneously in their order of drawing. pre seoted a sum forming the number to which the lots Tne first drawn was the number winning the grand lime of 400,0001. ; that number was 2,558,115. The person who won the prize was, by some, said to be one. Of the enginemen of the Northern Railroad ; by oth-ri, General Delarue was stated to be the happy man. The moment the winning number was ascer t eine 1 within, it was affixed on a board, fastened to a lefty pole, wbich was immediately borne by two men about the Champs Elysees, for the benefit of the public who had not found room within the Circus. The saes was done for the other numbers. The following is the list, according to the order, of t' ?A numbers that gained the 24 highest prizes of the lottery :- Ist ... 2,558,115 400,000 franca 2d 0,320 450 200,000 francs 3d ... 2,087.288 ... 100.000 francs 4th ... 5,283,574 ... 50,000 francs sth 2,828,291 ... •• 6th 1,338,398 ... 25 000 francs 7th ... 1,732,833 Bth ... 6,472,657 ... 9th ... 1,383 754 ... 10th ... 6,717,264 11th ... :3,703,820 ... 12th .. 5 ; 636,775 ..- 13th ... 6.373 590 ... 14th ... 5,415,786 15th 3,636,306 16th 2,557,871 . • 17th 2,671,870 ... 18th 4,601,769 ... 19th ... 1,710,342 20th ... 0,400,267 ... 21st ... 3,924,269 22 , 1 ... 2,808,217 231 ... 5,757 864 24th ... 0,337,856 „ Number 2, or that of the prize of 200,000 f., was gained by a journeyman hairdresser of the rue Mon taigne, near the Circus, an d c l ose t o th e gar d en wa ll s of theElysee. At the proclamation of No. 13, a prize of 10,000 f., a voice was heard from the multitude the Circus, crying out—" Le von, GrL:es a Dieu! c'est moi, c'est moi 1 j'ai gagn6.

The drawing terminated at three o'clock for the 200 tickets of I,ooof. The Moniteur publishes the following :—" A journal asserts that the expeditio❑ about to be sent by the French Government to the coast of Morocco was resolved upon when it became known that the British Cabinet had ordered a similar expedition. This asser tion is completely unfounded. The Government of the Republic is not aware, as stated by that j.)urnal, that England contemplated to attack the terri'ory of Morocco. As respects the departure of the French fl /cilia, which is to repair to Sillec, to support the demand of satisfaction, hitherto made without success, for the plunder of a commercial vessel, that measure has been a long time under deliberation, and would have been probably adopted earlier, had it not been for he Ministerial crisis, which occurred during the month of October. TURKEY. Is?tters from Constantinople of the Ist, rid Ger- In , try, state that reports of Ministerial changes were current, although none of them met with con 61.111'u:ion. It was stated that Ali Pacha, yielding to eo 4, :.aties from a high quarter, had consented to retain th.. portfolio of Foreign Affairs for some time longer, in order not to complicate the state of affairs by his immediate retirement. For the moment, therefore, things remained in statu quo, to the great satisfaction 01 tt...e corps diplornatique, who profess the most lively sirtnplthy towards that Minister.

M. de Reculcst will be charged to make known to his Government the real state of the affair, and to obtain such fresh instructions on the subject as may be required by circumstances. The heat of the latter end of October was as great as in the month of August, and the dry weather has been of unusual continuance. Serious fears are entertained for next year, as the Government, absorbed by political and financial pre-occupations, had not taken any precau tions against the consequences of a drought.

The affair had, however, as will have been seen by the remarks we quoted from the Examiner, attracted so much attention in England that it became necessary for the Messenger, as the impartial reflector of the English press, to reproduce the article. It is so far sat! factory, as the renewed positive contradiction it has now elicited will doubtless be copied by the papers which have given circulation to the fabricated tale:— " After the letter addressed by me to the editor of the Patrie, on the 30th ult., to contradict in the most formal manner the recital of a pretended combat, which, accord ing to that journal, had taken place in the salons of the Paris Jockey Club, between owls and rats, it might have been hoped that there would have been an end to the my.tffication; but, as it has just been re-published by you from an English journal, I beg you to insert the present letter in your earliest number, in order to give a e , mplete contradiction both to the fact of the combat an t all the details which accompany the recital of it.

EXTRAORDINARY NARRATIVE. The following extraordinary and authentic narra five of the circumstances under which Madame Kos suth escaped from the men-bloodhounds of Austria, who were in pursuit of her, will be read at the present moment, when that lady is among us, with profound interest. We are indebted for it to one of the New York journals : During the month of August, 1848, the President- Governor of Hungary, Louis Kossuth, with the principal officers of his provisional government, were in the fortified town of Arad, on the river Maroeeh. Between that place and the town of Zegadin, on the Tisch, in the vicinity of Arad, Gorgey, with the Hungarian troops under his command, lay en camped ; while behind him, towards the Tisch, was the Russian army of reserve, under Paskiewitch. Dembinski, with his men, besieged Temeswar, and he had already carried its third wall. Between him and the Tisch lay the united Austro-Russian forces. The army of Bern had been defeated at Herman stadt, by the Russian general Luders, and he had fled, with a small band of faithful followers, towards Temeswar. With this position of the combatants, the plan of Dembinski was to unite with Gorgey, near Arad, and then to attack the Russian forces. Before this was ef fected, news reached him of the capitulation of Gorgey, and that the Governor, M. Kossuth, had been com pelled to forsake Arad, and retire to the town of Vilagos. Before leaving Arad, the Governor sepa reted foom his wife and children, and their parting scene is said to have been one of the most touching nature. Under the circumstances of the moment, it was subject of even more than doubt whether they would ever again meet on earth. It was only when a young Hungarian nobleman, named Ash but, now in exile in Kutayiah with M. Kossuth, so lemnly swore to his wife that he would never leave her husband, that Madame Kossuth consented to be separated from him, and seek safety in flight. The children were confided to the care of a private secre • tary of the Governor, and this individual subsequently delivered them up to the tender mercies of Haynau, for the purpose of securing his own pardon and safety, The children set out before their mother, and the latter, in her flight, endeavoured to keep so near to them as to hear now and then of their safety. Madame Kossuth sought out a brother of hers, residing in the town of Vilagos, and he is now im prisoned in the fortress of Comorn, with many others of the u nfortunate Hungarian patriots, for 18 years, on account of the succour which he then gave to his sister. Leaving him, she next went in search of her children, and wandered to a pesla or farmhouse, of Boeksek, belonging to a relative. There she fell ill of a typhus fever, which nearly ended her life ; and when so far recovered as to be able again to travel, she continued her journey in search of her children. She soon learned that they had been given up by their protector to the Austrian General Haynau, and taken to Pesth. Her own safety depended wholly upon the fidelity of the Hungarian peasants, and on their at tachment to her husband. Now, having no other object in view than her own safety,. without friends better off than herself, she soon became reduced to a state of complete destitu tion. In disguise, she wandered over the most miser able part of Hungary. She even, as a means of safety as well as support, sought for service as a servant, and by telling that she was a poor woman, who had just been discharged from a public hospital—which, indeed, she very much resembled—was so fortu nate as to find employment in the family of a humble carpenter, in the town of Orash Hayti, who little thought he was served by the lady of Louis Kos suth, the late Governor of Hungary. Every where notices were exposed in the streets offering forty thousands florins for her capture, and proclaiming death as the punishment of the person who should dare to harbour or conceal her from the authorities. Among the persons who fled with M. Kossuth be fore the overwhelming number of his enemies, was an elderly lady, whom it is necessary to designate as Madame L—, and who, from being unable to ride as fast and as long as those who were stronger and younger than herself, soon became exhausted and was left behind. She had a son, a major in the Hunga rian army, near the person of the Governor, and both the son and the mother were warmly attached to his interests. Madame L—, when unable to proceed longer with the fugitives, in order to reach a place of safety in the dominions of the Sultan of Turkey, de termined to remain in Hungary, and devote herself to the finding of Madame Kossuth, and restoring her to her husband. For this benevolent 'purpose, Madame L—, dis guised herself as a beggar ; and after a long and weary journey, oftener on foot than in any convey ance, she crossed the vast sandy pliins of Southern Hungary, and at length reached the place in which Kossuth's children were, but could hear nothing of their mother. She learned that the children had been sent, soon after their mother had lost sight of them, to the house of General G--, now in the service of the Sultan in Syria, to be kept with his own three children, hoping that they would thus be screened from those who sought after them. The eldest named Louis, after his father, was seven years of age, and all were told that, they acknowledged they were the children of the Governor, they would be imprisoned by the Austrians, rind never see their parents again. So that when an Austrian officer traced them to the house of General G--, he was at a loss to know which of the children were those of General G--, and which those of M Ke.seth; and, approaching the eldest of the latter, he said—" So, my little man, you are the son of the Governor ?" To which the youth replied, " I am not, sir." His firmness surprised and vexed the officer, who was certain, from the statement of their betrayer, that these before him were the lost treasure of his ambi tious search. He now endeavoured to frighten the children, and, drawing a pistol, directed it to the breast of the boy, and said that if he did not at once acknowledge that he was the son of Kossuth he would put a ball through his heart. Young Louis, who, it is said, shows himself, now in exile at Kutayiah, much of the character of his father, replied in a tone equally firm— "l tell you, sir, I am notthe son of Kossuth." The officer, baffled by the child's simplicity of manner and apparent sincerity, was divested of his Iconvictions, and led to believe that be had been im• posed upon. But before Madame L— could get near them, other agents of the Austrian Government had been more successful, and the three children had been caried off in secret to Pesth, near the clutches of the butcher Haynau. The mother and sister of M. Kossuth bad alto been captured, and placed in strict confinement. It may be here men tioned in this little narrative of the sufferings and de liverance of the relatives of Louis Kossuth, that Madame L--, on finding where and how her children were situated, found out her own maid-ser vant, and so succeeded as to have her engaged at Pesth as their nurse. This person never left them until the moment of their final deliverance from their Austrian gaolers was arrived. After thus having provided for the welfare of the children of bl. Kos suth, Madame renewed her search for their destitute acd suffering mother. Finding no trace of her, Madame L— deter mined to follow the fugitives, and if she reached Widdin, to ascertain from M. Kossuth himself where his poor wife had gone, and then return in search of her. Continuing in the disguise of a beggar, some times on foot, at others in a farmer's cart, this heroic woman reached the frontiers of Hungary, and. crossing them, entered the fortified and walled town of Widdin, where the late Governor of Hungary and his brave unfortunate companions were, enjoying the protection and hospitality of the Sultan of Turkey. Madame L— applied to M. Kossuth, but not being known to him personally, and the - Austrian General having set so high a price on the capture of his wife, he at first regarded her in the light of an Austrian spy. Having, however, soon found her son, who had fol lowed the Governor into Turkey, he readily con vinced M. Kossuth of the identity of his mother. All the information which M. Kossuth could give her was, that there was a lady in Hungary, in whose house he believed his wife would seek a refuge ; and if she was not still there, this lady would most probably know where she was. The Governor his ov wife,ernornow furnished Madame L— with a letter_ to this lady, an d a no th e r w ith hi s own signet ring fo which would be evidence of her fidelity. It is not here necessary to f o ll ow M a d ame L— on her toilsome journey. Devoted to the philanthropic work thew which she had undertaken, she wandered over in reachingandy steppes of Hungary, , u ti s 'a letter. This she rea i d na flualornwmde-AsAist until she succeededthe little town in which the lady resided, and delivered to her M. immediatelyKos adeaxmi exist et Li n— burned h—er lady informed possession. arin fle eve la n d it'notd that the wife of Governor Kossuth had left her residence in the gu ise of a mendicant and in tended assuming the name of Martha that she was to feign herself to be the wid ow of ; soldier who had fallen in battle, and that if possible, she would go to the very centre of Hungary, in those vast pasture lands where she hoped no one would seek after her. With this information, Madame L-- again re , Fumed her journey. She feigned to be an aged grand• mother, whose grandson was missing, and that she was in search of him. She made many narrow escapes while passing guards, soldiers, and spies ; at length she reached the plains before mentioned. She went from house to house, as if in search of her grandson, but in reality to find one who would answer the description given of poor Maria F—n. At length in a cabin she heard that name mentioned, and on inquiry who and what the person was, learned that she was the widow of soldier, who had fallen in battle and a grand Hungarian that she had a child, who was with its parents. They I LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 18, 1851. then described her person, but added that she had suffered so much from illness and grief, that she was greatly changed. " Before she came here," said the speaker, "she worked fur her bread, even when ill , but after her arrival, she became too much indisposed to labour, on account of which they sent to the Sisters of Charity for a physician, who came, bled and blis tered her ; when she was able to go, she bud been conveyed to the institution of the Sisters, where she then was." Madame L-, feeling that the poor sufferer must be none other than the object of her search, expressed a desire to visit her. At the Sisters of Charity Madame L- had much difficulty in procuring access to Maris; and the latter was much opposed to receiving her. At length Ma dame L- told the Sisters to inform her that she had a message to her from her husband, who was not dead, as she had supposed, and that she would soon convince her, if she would permit her to enter. Poor Maria, between fear and hope, gave her consent, and Madame L- was allowed to see her. Madame L- handed her the letter of Governor Kossuth. She recognised at once the writing ; kissed it ; pressed it to her heart, devoured its contents, and then destroyed, it immediately. Soon a story was made up between the two females ; they told the Sisters of Charity that Maria's husband " still lived," and that she would rejoin them. A little waggon was pro cured; as many comforts were put in it as could be had without suspicion, and these two interesting women set out on their escape from the enemies of their country. Madame L- bad a relative in Hungary who had not been compromised in the war ; so this person ar ranged to meet the ladies at a given place, and in the character of a merchant, travel with them. After they had left the pasture grounds, he passed as the husband of " Maria," and the elder female as his aunt. At night they stopped at a village and were suspected, on account of the females occupying the bed, while he slept at the door. They started early in the morning, and the " husband" remained behind to learn something more of the suspicions to which their conduct had given rise. He again overtook them, as they stopped to feed their horse, and bade them to be greatly on their guard. In the evening, while the two ladies were sitting together in a miserably cold room, the face of poor Maria so muffled up as to conceal her features, and induce the belief that she was suffering from her teeth, both appearing much as persons in great poverty, overcome by her afflictions, Maria had a nervous attack, and talked and laughed so loud, that her voice was recognised by an Austrian officer who happened to be in the house. This person sent a servant to ask them to come into his room, where there was a fire. Madame L inquired the name of the " good gentleman" who had the kindness to invite them to his room, and, when she heard it, Maria recognised in him a deadly enemy of her husband. While they were planning the means of evading him, the officer came himself into their apartment. Immediately arising, they made an humble courtesy in so awkward a manner as to divest him of all suspicion. Madame L- spoke, and thanked him again and again for his kindness, but added, that such poor creatures as they were not fit to go into his room. So soon as the officer retired, Maria had another attack, which would certainly have betrayed them, had he been pre sent. Madame L- implored her to be composed, or they would be lost. Starting again, they: were not molested until in the evening, when they were apprehended and con ducted by two policemen before a magistrate. There the former spoke of them as suspicious characters, but they were not told of what they were sus pected. While the examination was going on, Madame L- slipped a bank-note into the hand of the superior of the two policemen. This bribe quite changed the affair • the men became their friends, excited the pity of the magistrates in their favour, and they were allowed to depart. Thus they went on from station to station, until they reached the frontiers of Hungary, near the Danube. They entered the little town of Saubin and asked permis sion of the heed of the police to pass over the river to Belgrade. This was refused, until they said they wished to go there for a certain medicine for a daughter who was ill, and that they would leave their passports as a security. He then gave his consent, and they crossed the Danube, and entered the domi nions of the Sultan of Turkey. It was night when they entered Belgrade. They knocked at the door of the Sardinian Consul, who had recently been stationed in that frontier town by his King, whose whole heart sympathised in the Hun garian cause, and who had formed a friendly alliance with M. Kossuth for the freedom of Italy and Hun gary. The Consul had been advised by M. Kossuth that two females would probably seek his protection, but not knowing them he inquired what they wished of him? Madame L replied, "Lodging and bread." He invited them in , and Madame L introineed him to Madame Kossuth, the lady of the late Governor of Hungary. It will readily be perceived that the Consul could scarcely believe that these two miserable beings were the persons they represented themselves to be. Ma• dame Kossuth convinced him by showing him the signet-ring of her husband. In his house Madame Kossuth fell ill, but received every possible kindness from her host. They learned that all the Hungarians and Poles had been removed from Widdin to Shumla; and, notwithstanding that it was in the midst of a severe winter, they decided upon proceeding at once to the latter place. The Sardinian Consul applied to the generous and very liberal Prince of Servia, in whose principality Belgrade ie, for his assistance in behalf of the ladies, and in the most hospitable and fearless manner he provided them with his own car rriage and four horses, and an escort, and in this way they started through the snow for Shumla. Their journey was without any apprehension of danger, for the British Consul-General at Belgrade, Mr. F--, had provided the party with a passport as British subjects, under the assumed names of Mr., Mrs., and Miss Bloomfield ; yet the severity of the weather was such that Madame Kossuth, in the ill state of her health, suffered very much. Often the snow was as deep as the breasts of the horses, and not unfrequently, four oxen had to be attached to the carriage in their places. A journey ' which, in summer, would have required but a few days, now was made in twenty-eight. On the twenty-eighth day a courier was sent in ad vance of them to apprise Governor Kossuth of their approach. He was ill; and, moreover, on account of the many plans of the Austrians to assassi na t e hi m , the Sultan's authorities could not allow him to leave Shumla, and go to meet his wife. The news of her deliverance, and her approach occasioned the liveliest satisfaction to all the refugees; the Hungarians and Poles went as far as the gates of the city to meet this heroic martyr of the cause of Hungary. It was night when the carriage neared the city ; as it entered the gates she found the streets lighted up with hundreds of lights, green, white, and red, the colours of the Hungarian flag, and was welcomed with the most friendly shouts from the whole body of the refugees. When Madame Kossuth descended from her car riage, she found herself in the presence of her hus band, who had risen from his bed of illness to receive the poor " Maria F-" of the plain of Hungary. In place of receiving her in his arms, M. Kossuth, overcome by feelings of admiration for the sufferings which his wife had undergone, and by gratitude for her devotion to the cause of her country, threw himself at her feet and kissed them. She endeavoured to speak and offr-r her husband consolation and tran quillity, while her own poor feeble heart was ready to burst with emotion. Her voice failed her, and amid the reiterated shouts of the Hungarians and Poles, this heroic woman was carried to her husband's apartments. GOLD DIGGINGS IN AUSTRALIA. - By the last accounts received we learn that lumps in one hole, weighing altogether 1061 b. had heeu dis covered, which were sold to Messrs. Thacker and Daniell for 4,1601. With regard to the details of the state of business and of mining operations, the following ex tracts of letters will furnish the beat information. The first is from Messrs. Young and Co., dated the 16th of August:— •' Every day brings forth new treasures. The winter being nearly at an end, the western road is crowded again with thousands of pilgrims to Ophir and Tofola, attracted by the riches laid open to the world. At Ophir the diggers have been greatly hindered in their opera tions by the rise of the waters; but at the Turon the general success far exceeds all credit. I received a letter from Macquoid the other day, in which he says, `These diggings are far richer, I think, than you or the people in S) duey are at present aware of. I walked op and down cthoeuvrei rvseerdw yesterday ith app e f a o r r ed several do doing hones , well. a I and everysto stood by a e I and saw a great deal of gold collected from the different cradles; one party (Hall's) within the last three woeks has collected upwards of 1,6001. ; and when I yesterday, at three P.M., was talk ing to Mr. Hall, and asked him what had been his luck during the day, he took out of his pocket a bag containing 21b. of gold, which ho had procured before dinner. In thus instancing Mr. hall's luck I do not mean you to understand that it is common, because, so tar from this being the case, I believe he has been the meat fortunate individual a. yet upon the river. Never theless, all the others who are working alongside of him are doing well, and have plenty of gold.

This is the Arabian Nights over again. The Government send down an armed escort with the mail once a-week, and the last few days they have had over 10,0001. worth weekly, besides which a groat deal has come through the Post-office and by private oppor tunities; so that probably the quantity at present re ceived weekly is not far short of 20,000/. The last ship, the Boadicea, w hi c h ogled this day week for London, r had 30,0001 worth on freight. This must convince the most sceptical that there is no exag,geretion ie what has beta promulgated. Sydney, reea;,while, is becoming deserted, and there is little or no business duing pri vately. At auction prices have been very low, and forced sales do not re tlize cost and charges." Tho writer of another letter. dated August 8, says.— " The famous hundredweight of gold is sent to Eng lend by this vessel, consigns d to Matheson and Co.

THE SIAGULAR ZOOLOGICAL PROBLEM SOLVED. The blanket or wrapper swallowed by the boa con strictor at the Zoological Gardens, in the Regent's Park, was disgorged by the reptile in the night of Saturday, the Bth instant, after having bees five weeks and one day in the animal's body. The watchman on going his rounds that night saw the animal labouring to get rid of the blanket, a part of, which protruded from its mouth, and he assisted it in doing so by taking hold of and pulling the blanket gently, fur which act of kindness it was thought that the boa seemed grateful, inasmuch as it offered no opposition, and did not strive to injure him. On examination the blanket was found to be much shrunken in size, and it was divested of the greater portion of the loose wool or hairy filaments composing its surface; it was much saturated with moisture, and in many parts covered by a slimy saliva. Originally the blanket measured about five feet by four feet, but like all those used in the reptile house, it had been folded in half and sewn together. There seems to be no doubt that the following circumstances led to the gorging of the blanket: Every Friday afternoon live rabbits or pigeons are given to the boas, and these are devoured by them, or suffered to remain in the cage, according as these reptiles are hungry or otherwise. On the night of the occurrence in question two rabbits had been given to the boa, only one of which was eaten. It is conjec tured that when the boa coiled its body and seized the rabbit, it must also have taken hold of a portion of the blanket, which it slavered over as well as the body of the rabbit, and then swallowed the blanket as a con tinuity of the rabbit. The boa was a present to the Zoological Society; it was brought to England by an officer, who gave it about four mouths ago; it is a very fine one, but had not been in a healthy state, and was just becoming lively and agile when the casualty took place; it has now an extremely attenuated appearance, and drinks frequently, probably because of the great absorption of the liquids of its body by the blawket. No blame whatever can attach to any person for neglect or want of attention to the boa, because Mr. Hunt, the head keeper, who was in bed when the watchman went to him, immediately dressed himself, and hastened to the reptile house; but his apartments aro on the oppo site wide, and at a considerable distance from the tunnel, and when he reached the place the whola of the blanket had disappeared. To guard against a similar occur rence, it has been determined to take away the blankets at the time the reptiles of this class have their food left in the cage.—Sunday Dispatches were received ym.tfirday at the Colonial. office from the Governor of Gibraltar. An inquiry has been held et Wolverhampton, before the Under-Sheriff and a special jury, to avess the compensation to be paid by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhampton Railway Company for 423 yards of freehold land, forming part of the site of Mr. William Bailey's exten sive chemical works in Horsley-fields, and also for 2,011 square yarde of prebendal lands adjoining the works, and running parallel with the intended goods station of the Stour Valley line. The total sum claimed by the plaintiff was 3,741/. Us. 9d.; the jury gaffe a verdict for 1,705/. 43. LAW INTELLIGCNCE, BAIL COHRT. Nov 17. (Sittings in Baece, hefile Mr. Justice Ear.E.) IN RE THOMAS BINNS, ONE, &C. Mr. JOYCE moved for a rule, calling upgyn Mr. Thomas Binns, one of the att , rnies of this court, to show cause why he should not pay the sums of Si. and 4/. 7s 31., and why he should not pay the costs ' of the application, and, for his misconduct as an at torney, why he should not answer the matters in the affidavits. It appeared that two boys living in the county, of the names of Collier and Tovey, had been committed for trial at the Surrey Sessions. The mothers of the boys had been recommended to go to one of two attorneys, either to Mr. Sollmons or Mr. Charnock, to defend the boys. The poor woman came up to town, and selected Mr. Charnock. The y saw that person, who calculated the expense of the defence, and said they would amount to 41. The women had not this sum with them, but promised to send a post-office order for the amount. They bad great difficulty in raising the money, but at length succeeded. and then sent Collier, the father of one of the boys, up to town with the money on the Sunday before the sessions. The man went to Mr. Char nock's office, and knocked and rang, but, it being Sunday, there was not any one there. After some time he was coming away, when a person came from the opposite house (Mr. Binne's) and asked him. what be wanted. Collier told him ; and the per son, who was the clerk of Binns, told him to give him the money, as it would be all the same. The man gave bim the Si., and then asked him to sign a paper, which he did, and which turned out to be the paper directing Mr. Chernock to hand him over the papers. Biwa afterwards went to a learned sergeant to get him to go to the sessions at Guildford to defend the boys. The learned sergeant said, according to the etiquette of the bar, he could not appear without a junior. The boys were brought up for trial at the sessions, but no attorney appeared; and the learned sergeant, not having a junior, would not go into court. But, upon the facts being stated to the Court, the trial was postponed till the next day, and then it was postponed to the next sessions at Southwark. The prisoners friends then obtained more money and paid Mr. Charnock, who, at the next sessions, in structed counsel. Mr. Binns also instructed counsel, who stated himself to be the junior of the learned sergeant. It was then left to the prisoners to say by whom they would be defended, and they said their friends had retained Mr. Charnock, and would have nothing to do with Mr. Blunt or his counsel. Mr. Binns had reeeived 51., and the parties had been put to an extra expense of 41 7s. 3d. Mr. Justice Earat—Take a rule to show cause. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mr. Alderman Wire, Mr. E. Fox, and Mr. C. Gilpin, members of the board of management of the Asylum for Idiots at Highgate, attended with their acting secretary, Mr. Nicholas, before Mr. Alderman Wilson, to request his attention to a gross fraud which had been committed under cover of procuring admis sion to the asylum for an imbecile child of a cler gyman. Mr. Alderman Wire briefly mentioned the object of the application, and hoped the press would take some notice of it to guard the public against the im position. Mr. Gilpin stated that, in consequence of a letter from some person inquiring the mode of admission to the charity, the secretary forwarded a printed form of application, and stated that pupils were admitted on three scales of payment-100 guineas, 50 guineas, or 25 guineas; the first for those requiring peculiar treatment and special attention, the second being the ordinary charge, and the third intended for such as were unable to pay the higher sum ; children were also admitted by election twice a year. No more was heard of this application till a letter was received from the Reverend T. S. Chal mers, of Stafford, enclosing a fee-simile of the secretary's letter, the printed form of application, a written statement of the case purporting to contain at the foot a list of donations, and a note from the Earl of Carlisle with a donation of 10s. Mr. Chal mers stated that he had received these.papers from his Lordship, but he knew nothing of the persons referred to, either of Mrs. Grimatone, or the Rev. Archibald Chambers, of Stafford; nor did the other clergymen of Stafford know them. The Reverend Gentleman, therefore, forwarded the papers to the secretary, that he might communicate with the parties interested. The details filled up in the form of application set out that the candidate was John Grimstone, born the 17th of August, 1835, residing in the pariah of Stanton, that he was idiotic in the second degreesince his birth, that his mother was living, with five other children dependent upon her, that she intended to provide for her family by keeping a school, and that she applied for the admission on the lowest scale of payment. It purported to contain the signatures of F. W. Whitaker and H. Smith, both of Stanton, as having a knowledge of the case. The secretary was therefore directed to write to some of the donors to the proposed fund of 1501. to enable Mrs. Grimstone to pay the annual subscriptions to the asylum. The secretary read the written statement referred to, which appeared to be an appeal " on behalf of Mrs. Grimatone, the widow of the Rev. James Grim stone, late curate of Stanton, in the diocese of.Lich field, who died in June last, in consequence of a cold caugt while attending the sick bed of a dying parishioner," and it further intimated that 30/. would be given from the diocesan fund. The following are some of the subscriptions appended : " Bishop of Lichfield, 101.; Lady Chetwynd, 21.; Mrs. Ark wright, 21; Sir H. S. Wilmot, 5/.; Arcbdeacon of Derby, 3'.; Rev. T. Hope, 11; Drury Lowe, 21; G. Crompton, 2/.; Sir M. Blackiston, 21.; Mrs. Tunnicliffe, 11 ; J. H. Woodhouse (clerk), 51.; Sir E. D. Scott, 5/ ; Lady Charlotte Gough, 21; R. James, 11 ; Mrs. Forster, 11.; J. H. Sherwood, 11; Hon. E. S. Jervis, 2/ ; Mrs. Lonsdale, 1/.; W. Grnly, 2/4 Rev. James Gtshorne, 21 • Lady Wilmot Horton, IL; Mr. Gi!..borne, 2/.; C. R. Colville, 2/.; Rev. J. Moore, 11.; W. G., per cheque, 21. ; G. Meynell, 21.; A Clergyman, 1/. 65.; W. Mundy, 21.; Mrs. Evans, IL; E. S. Cliandos Pole. 11. 10s.; Lady Crewe, 1/.; Rev. M. Vavasour, 21.; Rev. Marcwood Grady, 1/.; Yarburgh Graeme, per Post-office order, 31.; Mrs. Maude, ditto, 21; F. C., par cheque, 21; A Lady, 2/.; and J. Kenrick, 3/. 35." Mr. Gilpin said that the secretary's inquiry, ad dressed to the Bishop of Lichfield, produced the fol lowing reply from his Lordship:— " Wrocwardine Vicarage, Oct. 22, Wednesday Night. " Sir,—Your letter has found me today engaged in diocesan business here. " There are several places of the name of Stanton in this diocese. But the name of Grimstone, as connected with this diocese, is strange to me, and I cannot call to mind any circumstance relating to the case about which you have inquired of me. The whole appears to be a fiction.—l remain, sir, faithfully yours, " W. Nicholas, Esq. " J. LICHFIELD." Another letter was read from the rector of Stanton, as follows : " The Rectory, Stanton-by-Bridge, Swarkeston, Derbyshire, Oct. 14. " Sir,—Your letter of the 11th inst. has been for warded to me after having been to'various places. Ido not know anything of John Grimstone,' and I em sorry I cannot assist you by sending it to any one of my name residing at a' Stanton,' in Derbyshire.—l am, air yours faithfully, " THOMAS W. WHITAKER. " William Nicholas. Esq." Mr. Alderman WILSON said he was satisfied the statement in the appeal was untrue, and wished to know if the application was for a warrant ? Mr. Alderman WIRI said it was not at the present moment. The committee had not yet obtained in formation that any person bad actually obtained money from any one. Mr. Nicholas, the secretary, said that a like impo sition on the charitably•disposed part of the Roman Catholic community bad been practised about a year ago, the Idiot Asylum forma being used on that occa sion, when he (the secretary) placed the facts in the hands of Dr. Doyle, of St. George's Cathedral. Mr. Alderman Winn said the chief object of the committee at present was to guard the public against this imposition. Mr. Alderman Wlisorg had no doubt the press would aid in protecting the public, and he should be happy to assist the committee when they required -them. squire, begged to be permitted to make a statement for the purpose of correcting a misapprehension which had caused his friends here and abroad some Ili:easi ness. About two mouths ago a p r,ou who gAve the name of Fischer, and who said he was a co z ; nim,ss.on agent, living in Bury• court, St. Mary-axe, was tined 40s. for staling a cake of chocolate from the Great Exhibition. Applicant had formerly carried on busi ness in Bury court, and this had led some of his friends to mistake him for the person accused. He had reason to suppose that the offender had assumed a name to which he was not entitled, as he believed the offender's real name WAS Henry Myers. Mr. HARDWICK said he had no doubt the public journals would put the applicant right with his friends and the public. WESTMINSTER. Mr. John Morris, of 41, Vincent-square, gentle man, was summoned for using menacing conduct to his brother, Mr. Richard Morris, barrister and As sistant-Master in the Court of Exchequer, whereby he apprehended that he went in bodily clinger. Mr. Scotland, barrister, and Mr. J. Rogers, so licitor, attended on behalf of the complainant. The circumstances of the case, as detailed by Mr. Scotland in his application for the magistrate's pro tection, and by the evidence adduced, are these :—ln the year 1849 defendant began to take a most hostile part against his brother with respect to some family property, and addressed a number of letters to him couched in the most offensive and opprobious terms. He also appeared in the Court of Exchequer, and by his gestures and excited manner caused serious appre hensions that he intended to resort to some act of violence. The complainant subsequently applied to this Court for protection in the latter part of the year 1850, when the summons was withdrawn upon de fendant's giving an undertaking to discontinue the annoyance, and not to repeat his visits to the Court of Exchequer, both of which Mr. Allen, a very respect able gentleman, who was then defendant's solicitor, but who had since ceased to be so, promised to use his influence over his client to see observed. Defend ant had, however, soon after recommenced a series of annoyances and conduct of such a character as had rendered it compulsory upon complainant to seek again the protection of the law. Mr. ARNOLD, looking at the whole circumstances of the case, thought reasonable ground for apprehen sion had been made out against the defendant, and he should call upon him to find two sureties in 1501. each, and enter into his own recognizances of 3001. to keep the peace to his brother for twelve months. Defendant being provided with the required sure ties, the necessary bail was immediately put in. WORSHIP-STREE7'. John Whittle, a gentlemanly-looking man, stated to be the on of a well-known literary character, and to himself hold a somewhat distinguished position in the musical profession, was placed before Mr. D'Eyn court for final examination, charged with having by false pretences obtained a quantity of valuable pro perty from a widow lady named Glessing, with in tent to cheat and defraud her thereof. The prisoner, by the advice of his solicitor, ex pressed his intention to reserve his defence, and, the depositions having been completed by Mr. Hurlstone, the second clerk, he was ordered to be committed for trial, the magistrate consenting to accept substantial bail for his appearance to answer the charge. LAMBETH. John Sands, a married man and master carpenter, residing in Paradise•terrace, Lambeth-walk, was placed at the bar for final examination, on a charge of violating the person of Eliza Swindon, a girl 14 years of age. The testimony of the prosecutrix, an intelligent girl, and which was not at all shaken by the searching cross-examination of Mr. Solomons, was quite con clusive of the prisoner's guilt, and he was fully committed to take his trial on the capital charge. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Two persons were brought up for further examina tion, charged with having been concerned with a number of other persons in defrauding loan societies to a very great extent. From information derived from one of the prose cutors, it appeared that a gang, amounting to nearly 40 persons, have for some time acted together on a preconcerted plan, to obtain loans by fraudulent re presentations from different loan societies. Some of the conspirators, it appeired, took houses for a short period, and became references to others who were ap plicants for loans. As soon as one set of conspirators had obtained loans in this way, the referees would change places and become applicants for loans, re ferring to the persons who had previously ob tained loans, and who now acted as housekeepers and referees. In this way they have contrivod to carry on a most successful sysrem of fraud, obtaining, in a very short time, from diff,,rwnt bt•tween 2,000/. and 3,0001., in sums vsrying from 61. to 101 The first psrson charged was Joseph Johnson who had acted as the referee to persons applying for loans. The Prisoner reserved his defence, and was fully committed. William lon was next charged under similar cir cumstances. The prisoner declined to say anything in defence, and was fully committed. Henry Fry was next charged with obtaining a loan by false pretences. 'The prisoner made no defence, and was fully COO • mitted. Two othPr prisoners were remanded. Mr. Fischer, merchant, of Grafton-street, Fitzroy- SOUTHWARK. Messrs. Reddin, the dust contractors, were sum moned for allowing a heap of rubbish, consisting of the sweepings of the meat and fish markets and the streets, to accumulate on their premises, in a thickly popolated neighbourhood, to the imminent danger of the public hrslth. Mr. A'l3sciarr said that he considered the case was made out against the defendanta, who were bound to have the nuisance as speedily removed as possible, and for that purpose he should allow the summons to stand over for a week ; in the interval, if it was not abated, he should inflict the full penalty. THE MURDER IN MARYLEBONE. Thomas Bare, who was charged on Monday last with the wilful murder of Louisa Bare, his wife, was again placed at the bar at the Marylebone Police Court yesterday. The prisoner, upon alighting from the Government van in Paradise-street, leading to the back of the court, was loudly hissed and hooted at. He walked along with a tremulous step, and endeavoured as much as possible to shrink from the gaze of the multitude assembled. Drayton, 341 D, said—On last Saturday week, at nine in the evening, the prisoner came to me at the corner of North-street acid South-street and said, " Policeman, I have been ❑early murdered." I called the attention of Church (another officer) to him, and told him what he had said. The prisoner had then gone into a public-house, the Bedford Arms, close by. Mr. BROUGHTON—Did you see or hear any more yourself ? Witness—The prisoner came out of the public-house and said to Church, " Are you going to sae into this matter ?" He (prisoner) said, "It is concerning my wife," when he walked away, and just afterwards a boy came up and spoke to the pri soner, and, crossing over the road to Church, said, " That man (pointing to the prisoner) has stabbed his wife." Church took him, and I went with them to 33, North-street. I had charge of the prisoner there while Church went upstairs to see the mur dered woman. _ Mr. Fell (the Chief Clerk)—Did any communica• tion pass there between you and the prisoner? Wit ness—None at all. I saw one box standing at the door, and the prisoner said, "If she had only let me have had the two trunks this would not have hap pened." Mr. BROUGHTON—Had he told you what had hap pened ? Witness—No. I and Gutt (another officer) took the prisoner to the Marylebone-lane station, and on the way there he said his wife had taken out a chisel or a file to strike him with it ; and, that he took it out of her hands, and gave her the contents ;" he had heard that she had been upon the town. Edward Braxton, a hoy 17 years of age. It will be remembered that he was brought forward upon the first inquiry to give evidence, but that he could not be sworn, inasmuch as he stated that he knew nothing of a future reward or punishment for good or evil deeds. He was now questioned by the Magis trate and, as his replies were satisfactory, he was sworn. " I live with my mother in Brook's-gardens, Bsgnigge Wells -road. Two women lodged there. One of them went by the name of Hands, and the other that of Nott. When they left, I carried two boxes for them to 33, North-street. This was three weeks back last Friday." Mr. Baoueueon—When was the first time you saw the prisoner ? Witness—On the Monday after I took the boxes; and I have seen him at our house two or three times since. In reply to further inquiries from Mr. BROUGHTON, Witness said—Last Saturday week my mother told we to go with the prisoner to the house where I had carried the boxes, and to ask Mrs. Hands for the room-door key which she bad carried off. Prisoner and I went together, and on the way we drank at two or three public-houses. We arrived at 33, North street at about half past 7 o'clock. The prisoner told me to go in and see if his wife was at hoine,.and he stopped at the next doorway. Mr, BROUGHTON—What names were you told to ask for—Bare ? Witness—For Mrs. Hands and Mrs. Bare. I inquired at the house, and, on being told that the parties were not at home, I went to a public house at the bottom of the street with prisoner, who called for a pint of beer. In a short time he (prisoner) observed that the house was too open for him, and that if she (rne . aning his wife) happened to come there and see him she would not go in; and he told me that we must watch the house, and see that the boxes were not taken out. We left that public-house, and went into a beershop a little higher up, when prisoner called for a pint of fciurpenny ale. I drank some of it with him, and he smoked a pipe. When we cam e away be said, " Now we will go up there, and wait till they come in." We both went to No. 33. This was about 3 o'clock in the evening. Mr. BROUGHTON—.When you got there what bap pened 1' Witness—The prisoner knock e d a t t h e d oor, which was opened by the landlord, end prisoner said to him, "I am given to understand that I have some boxes here which are my property." He asked for Mrs. Bare, but the landlord said he knew no such person, and on his mentioning the name of Nott, a lodger, h e (prisoner) said, " Th at ' s h er, that ' s my w if e ," We remained in the parlour, and while sitting there the prisoner sent me out for a pot of beer,which was drunk. The landlord then sent me out for ano ther pot, and as I was brieging it in Mrs. Bare fol lowed me. She vvent upstairs, and the landlord said, "That is Miss Nott (the name by which the unfortu nate deceased was known at that time). The land lord begged of the Prisoner to b. quiet, but he (pri soner) went up directly, taking a lighted enndle with and I remained if, the pa lour. In the cour,e of five m i nu t e a he called out io me, NOW, my l a d, come upstairs, and fetch These b, xes " 1 went into the first floor bickrotan, and there , aw the woeein and the prisoner standing dome to the window. The prisoner said to tne (haedioe a box), " T.ke this away, and when Sou have done s fetch the other." Mr. BROUGHTON—Did she make any objection to your taking the boxes ? Witness—None at all. sir. I took the little box away, and was going out of the room when I heard a serum, and when I go, ha fway down stairs there was a cry of "Murder." Some lodgers came to the door, and said to the prisoner, SHIP NhWs. GRAVESEND, Nov. 17.—Wind N.N.W., strong breeze, clear and frosty.
