LIE L T.-GEN ER A L NAPIER. [General Napier, the gallant Gruvernor of Guernsey, has art Irk s a , l the f.lioxing iateresting letter to the editor of the It places the character of his chivalrous brother, if pos,il,le, in a still more striking light than heretofore.—En. Sun.] Sir,—ln Galignani's Messenger of the 18th of July I find the following extract from the Parisian journal called the Siecle " In England an event like that of Dahra would not even have ex,•ited remark. General Napier recently committed in the war ;•f Silide atrocities which nothing could equal." [Teen thi Galignani's Messenger observes:— " Tile charge agairst General Napier does not stand upen eeee geenel •' true or false, it stands in juxtapos i t ion with that against Colonel Pelissier." This intolerable calumny. invented by the Siecle, repeated and countenanced by Gaiignani, is addressed to the startled civilisation of Europe to avert its rising indignation at the barbarity of French warfare in Africa. The atrocities of Sir kele'rles Napier ! What were they ? Can one be men tioned? Let the Siecle state any act of his deviating in the slightest degree from honour, generosity, or good dis cipline ! General Napier never committed, nor suffered those under his command, to perpetrate any barbarity. He warred in Sinde, under the orders of his Govern ment, and justly ; he was not an aggressor. He fought two battles and won both. The first, which lasted four hours and a halt; he won with 2,000 men against 34,000 brave warriors, who did not resign the field until 8,000 of their numbers had fallen. The second, which lasted above three hours, he wen with 5,000 men against 26,000, who left a fifth of their number on the ground to attest their valour. He has made two campaigns. and for more than two years he has, governed the country heconquered; andneither in his campaigns, nor under his government, has a woman or a chile been killed, oppressed, injured, or insulted. No man has been killed, save on the field of battle. Even the unmi tigated calumniator of the Bombay Times never dared to assert more than that some officers had seduced the Ameer's women to live with them; and his mendacious assertion was instantly met by an indignant denial, published and signed by every officer of the army. No man of that army had ever seen one of the wotren. Gaignani's Messenger desires to have General Napier's conduct placed in juxtaposition with Colonel P‘lissier's. Let it i4e so. The French Colonel, if the French papers are to be be lieved, roasted by a blow fire 800 Arab men, women, and children, together with their cattle, rather than delay, even for a few daye his march of de7astation against other tribes, and title is ac, aggressive war on his part. The English General invaded certain Belooch tribes be cause they had descended from their mountains upon Sinde, cut off some troops, destroyed many villages, and murdered many men, women, and children. These tribes were not subjects of the conquered Ameers; no war had been madeon them, no injury had been done to them, no insult, no prevo• cation offered to them ; but to repress their aggressions, and ' protect the people under his government, General Napier in vaded their mountains. Phis surprising expedition, which lasted 54 days, prestinted the most formidable difficulties. A desert a hundred miles wide, arid and desolate as any in Africa, was to be passed ere the army could reach the nu merous tribes, which were to be warred dawn amidst stupen dous rocks and barren mountains, where more than one im perial army had been destroyed in former days, and where re cently many British detachments had been cut off. The troepe had to dig, day after day, for water, of a deleterious na' ure wh n procured; they were constantly on half ration; they had to contend with a numerous and warlike people. glidieg like serpents around them in craft, and Lighting like lit e s when beset. The Indiae newspaper ridie cull the euterprise, and predicted defeat fur the madman who had it el-rtekert it; the army. officers and soldiers alike, thoo e lt brave awl devoted to the last degree, sustaining evere hard • hip. every privation, every fatigue, and meeting every 41.inger with matchless patience and courage, had no. exeeetation of a successful termination to their labours. The General stieel alone in his hopes ; but when his masterly combin itions had reduced the tribes (whose power to destroy his army by fatigue and starvation was represented and be lieved by all tit be insurmountable) to the last gasp of misery and famie,.—that is to say, when. he was on the point 4 -, f resister the fruit:; 4f his indentitable pe:seyerance by their stir,' ••: e•--I tied Cie folio-wise; passege in his private jeur leS , , eee t hi. ,eeratiou, and recording in homely ;., • i> : r in airiest from hour to hour.- - .• el, (commiesariat) have, to the tune 44 , tin ereeisione past eihateuor"—a place trte, ...te i•I iteserr, tie army being then in mountains as will e i e l srerile as the desert itself -" and I am fairly put to my trumps.

Ay, but there are his women, and be hanged to them ' I must get them and the children out of the way, even though he escape." Thae, Sir, you see General Napier was ready to sacrifice even the f.irest advantages of war, and his own military re putation, to save women and children. Colonel Nlissier roasted them alive by hundreds rather than lose a few days' time—that is, if the charges against him be net an invention of t..;e French journalists, which the falseeood of their charge ageisst my b, other gives me the right to suspect.

Shduld the accident occasion the stoppage of both lines of rail, the head guard will send the stoker or other servant of the company, and, in the absence or inability of either, then go himself in advance of the train, to place the signals on the opposite line of rail to that which the train is en, in the same order as to distance, as is above and in the tog signals, d'rected for the under guard, by which precaution both lines of rail will be protected , • "f he s.curity and safety of pasaeneert being the chief duty of the head guard, he shad, in all cases of accident to or stopping et a tra . n, use his utmost endeavours to secure that object in ttle first place, and on this account he shall not, under any pretence whatever, quit the train, unless he be released therefr , m by his superior officer, or he finds it ne cessary himself to p ant the signals in the front or rear of the train.

" The witness Smithera, the porter at the Tunbridge station, and who accompanied Walker, the engine driver, with the pilot er:gine to overtake the train, stated, it will be remem bered, at the magistrate's inquiry, that they could not per ceive the train until they had arrived within 20 yards of it. It was, however, satisfactorily proved beyond all doubt that the Peoshurst station, where the collision happened, could be distimely observed for upwards of three-quarters of a mile up the line. " Respecting the report that an engine had accompanied the train from Dover, propelling it at the rear, it was fully ascer tained not to be the case, and that the only engines employed were two in front of the train. G-nerel P isley, in the course of the investigation, ex preseed cunviction that the accident had arsen from the improper act on the part of the head porter at Tunbridge in sending the pilot engine to overtake the train; yet he could not attribute any blame, as that step had been taken for the best of reasone, to prevent an acc dent. As regarded the conduct o f t h e engine-driver, Walker, he was of opinion that he had nut ex .seised that caution which he ought to have persevered in, n, o r. leg that he was clesely following in the wake of a ete at the same time he was disposed to think that the sir rier me-t have laboured under some misconeeption as to what et, h e wa s ee nvesing fie further observed that the guar d, se-'i'v, railee in his duty in not obeying his instruetiors, r.. laving seen that the tail iognal lights were properly adjusted he ore the train left Tunbrol.:e. "The Gallant General then took his departure for town, and it is expected, make his (Awl report of the calamity to the Board of Trade in a few days. " Although Mr. Flare, the magistrate of this town, exone rated the engine -driver, in dismi•sing the charge against him for carelessly and negligently cau-ing the collision, the Com . pany having considered it to be their bounden duty to dismiss him from their service; as also Shells, the head guard, who omitted the most. important part of his dtey, viz., ascertaining that the signal lights were correctly fixed on the train. " Sir G. o ge Hayter, and the two other sufferers known to be: injured, were report, d yesterday to be going on favourably." TPLE s rilsT4 LONDON', MONMAY MORNING, ArGrgsr 4, Ifts. minutely dissecting the evidence and commenting in his usual able manner upon the more material portions of it aft cling his client, he asked the jury whether, upon such a case as bad been made out by the prosecutor, and bearing in mind his own conduct in the transaction, they could feel justified in destroying for ever the prospects of the unhappy young creature before them, by returning a verdict of guilty against her. The learned counsel then in a most feeling manner described the misery the prisoner had already undergone, and said he believed he might safely declare that she had been in the state in which they now saw her in the dock, almost without in termission, ever since the period the charge was first made against her, and to add to her distress, she had only the day before sustained the loss of a near and dear relative. The Learned Counsel concluded by observing that after what had been already admitted on the part of the prosecution, with regard to the character of the ac cused, he should not at that late hour detain them by calling witnesses to speak to it, but he should leave the prisoner's fate in their hands, confident that they would return a righteous verdict. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE having summed up, The jury expressed a wish to retire. They were ab sent about five minutes, when they returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The moment the verdict was pronounced, a most ex traordinary scene took place. The prisoner shrieked wildly two or three times, and then fell perfectly insen sible into the arms of the gaoler. At the same moment a burst of applause issued from the body of ►he Court, and two or three distinct rounds of cheers were given, it being utterly impossible to repress this ebullition of feeling. Order having been at length restored, Mr. CLARKSON inquired of Mr. Bodkin whether he was instructed to go on with the other indictinsnts against the prisoner ? Mr. BoDK*I intimated that he was. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE then said they would stand for Monday morning, but the prisoner might go at large upon entering into the same recognizances upon which she had that day surrendered. The required recognizances having been entered into, the prisoner was removed in the charge of her friends. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Derhy, July 31. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice MAO Le.) Edward Pipes, a respectable tradesman in Derby, pleaded guilty to a charge of manslatighter. Mr. M ILLEA, for the prosecution, on the prisoner withdraw ing his plea of not guilty, shortly, but almost inaudibly, ad dressed the Learned Judge, expressing, as we understood, a wish, on the part of the prosecution, that he should be dealt with as leniently as was consistent with the ends of justice. Mr. WfirrexuesT, Queen's Counsel, said he appeared on behalf of the unfortunate man at the bar. It appeeared that the prisoner, going down a steep hill in a gig, and he went cer tainly at a very rapid rate, ran over a child, the death of which was the subject of the present indictment. They all knew that children were constantly in the habit of running across the roads, and how difficult it was for persons driving, more especially gay horses, to prevent accidents. The prisoner, when made acquainted with the accident which ensued, sent a surgeon, paid his bill, and defrayed every subsequent expense consequent upon the unfortunate death of the child. He had, in fact, done all that a man could do under such circumstances. By his (Mr. Whitehurst's) advice he had pleaded guilty, be cause he felt, seeing that the prisoner was somewhat in liquor, he (Mr. Whitehurst) could not successfully appeal to the jury for a verdict of acquittal upon the charge of manslaughter. He would call witnesses who would give the prisoner an excellent character, and he hoped that evidence would have due effect with the Court. Numerous witnesses spoke highly of the prisoner as a kind, sob-r, humane, and industrious man. Mr. Justice MAULS, in passing sentence, said it appeared from the evidence, that on Sunday afternoon, the 10th of May, the prisoner, when madly drunk, drove down a steep hill in a gig, all the while flogging the horse, and when he ran over the child he exclaimed, " Blast your eyes." No doubt this con. duct was the result of excessive drinking—in fact, excess in drink had transformed the prisoner from the character of a Peaceable man, as he was stated to be by his witnesses, into that of a savage and outrageous beast. The act was committed with the utmost ferocity; but it was said that when the pri soner came to his senses, he had done all that a man could do. Still su c h offence, must not go unpunished. Hoping and trust ing, however, that his present position would be a warning to him, that he would not get drunk again (for if he did, he might next commit murder), and that for the future he would know how much b-tter he might spend his Sunday afternoons, he should past upon him a lighter sentence than otherwise he should b.. justified in doing. The Learned Judge then sen tenced the prisoner to four months imprisonment and hard labour. The business of the assizes concluded at three o'clock. OXFt )RD CI RCUlT.—He , tford, July 31. CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord DimmAri.) - - - Wm. Taylor, aged 21, and Wm. Doddymead. aged 41, de scribed :n the calendar as labourers, but evidently vagrants, were charged with having, on the 22d of May last, feloniously set on fire a stack of corn, the property of George Marfell, at Bridstow, in this county. On the day upon which the fire took place, at about eight o'clock in the morning, one John Bennett, a farmer, was jour neying along the Ross road, and as he drew near the rick he observed the prisoner Taylor standing about 100 yards from it ; the othor man, Doddymead, he observed getting over a gate, about 30 yards distant from the stack ; a few minutes only elapsed when the witness observed a creeping flame, about the size of his hat, glowing in the rick, and is an instant the whole appeared in a blaze. Upon this the farmer directed his son, who was riding with him, to take the prisoner Doddymead into custody, which he did, and succeeded in dragging him to the house of Mr. Marfell. While there, the young man inquired , of him what was his reason for setting the rick on fire? to which Doddymead answered, " It wa'nt me, but a fellow on the road." Soon after this conversation, a look-out being kept, the prisoner Taylor ss as observed on the road, and he was apprehentted. It was proved by the prosectuor that he left his house about half-past seven o'cicck on the day in question, End that then the stack was s..fe. A passer-by would suppose, if he gave the subject a thought, that as the rick adjoined the pre mises of a Mr. Roberts, it must of necessity be his prorerty. The chief evidence affecting the prisoners w as contained in their own statements. Taylor said that, on the day of the fire, as he and the other prisoner were tramping along the road, Doddymead said, " I'll set some place on fire, and get trans ported ;" and that when they came to a house near which the rick was situate, he (Taylor) went into that house to ask for a bit of bread, and on his return Doddymead said, " I'll put an end now to this travelling." Taylor then, as he said, upon hearing this, went away, and Doddymead get over the gate by the rick. Soon after he heard cries of " Fire !" and a gentle. man came up and collared him. Doddymead heard this state meet of Taylor. and said it was quite true ; that he hal nothing to add to it. He in his turn made a statement that he and Taylor had long before intended to committ an offence of this deserip'ion. His Loansuir summed up, and the jury. after consulting together for ten minutes, found Doddymead Guilty, and Ac quitted Taylor. Lord Ihnitz.tx addressed the prisoners, and said, that it fre quently happened that offences were committed by persons on the tramp, who were perfect strangers to the counties through which they passed, and so, as in this instance, they not only did grievous injury and wrong, but also brought an unjust imputa tion upon the people of the district, as being wickedly disposed anti discontented. His Lordship then observed. that it seemed Doddymead had committed this act with a view to transporta tion ; it was a part of his duty to let him know that this was not the only punishment which would be inflicted upon him ; there was hard labour and solitary confinement, which would be his portion. His Lordship said he should consider his sentence at a subsequent period. The prisoner was again placed at the bar, and sentenced to fifteen years' transportation. Mr. Justice Patteson disposed of the few remaining cases in the Crown Court; and the business of the assize finally closed soon after eleven o'clock. The Commission will be opened this evening at Monmouth. POLICE EN TELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. (SATURDAY.) TV. Viyors, a person of very respectable appearance, was charged with having committed a misdemeanour of a serious description. William S. Foster, of No. 25, Token house-yard, stated that he was a broker, and in partnership with his brother. He had been inerodueed to the defendant a short time before the 9th of June last, and understood him to be a very respectable man. About the 9th or 10th of June, the defendant called at the office, and said he had an account at the London and Westminster Bank, which account he was about to withdraw, and to go to some other bank, and he re quested to be accommodated with an exchange cheque, which he might pay in that (lay, and he would give his ch. que, which would be all right next day. Witness ace,temodated the defendant with a cheque for the sum of 500/., and that cheque had been duly paid ; the cheque giv -0 by the defendant upon the London and West min-ter Rink, in exchange fi.r the complainant's cheque, was, however, dishonoured. Witness did not pre-‘ent the London and Westminster cheque fur pay ment, but he paid it in on the day into the hands of his own bankers. Messrs. Prescott and Grote, and it was returned on the following day, he having no effects there. Had not prosecutor believed he kept a banking account at Prescott and Grote s, he would not have given him the cheque. Mr. Rote:mils, who appeared for the defendant, re gre ted the unavoidable absence of Mr. Bodkin, and begged in the meantime to say, that at the proper time, as lie had been instructed, there would he a complete answer to the charge preferred against the defendant, who was set at liberty on two respectable persons in the City becoming bail for his appearance to answer the charge of misdemeanour. BOW-STREET. George Smith, a twopenny post letter carrier, was s placed eag a a t h t t e e r b c a o r n t b a ( i t n h r n e g ' G r w d. f t ( h i red property, charg charged with o fthe Postmaster-General. Mr. Phillips, chief clerk to Mr. Peacock, conducted the case for the Post-office. The first witness was Mr. G. Sculthorpe, who stated that he was a president of letter carriers in the General Post-office. In consequence of numerous complaints of the lose of money-letters on the Kingsland -road beat, he on Friday marked half a sovereign and a sixpence, which he inclosed in a letter, and addressed to Mrs. William son. Kingsland-ere-cent, Kinesland-road. He put it into the post in Cheapside, and in due course of time it arrived at the chief office, where he again saw it. It was stamped and forwarded to the Shoreditch branch among other letters, preparatory to its delivery. Witness shortly after went to that office, and met the pri Loner coming out with his letters for delivery In consequence of some conversation witness had with the superintendent of the office, the prisoner was soon after recalled and requested to show his letters. He, in reply to a question whether he had any more let ters, replied only a few he had tried to deliver, but could not . find the persons to eh , m t h ey were a dd re ssed. He p-o :lice(' them, and amone them witness found the let• t. r he was in search of, addressed to Mrs. Williamson. The prisoner was r hen taken to the Post office in cu'tedy. Mr. Walker. superintendent of the Shoreditch branch, proved that on Friday he received the letter in question among others for the delivery at one o'cleck. The pri soner teas on duty at the time, and witness gave him the letters to sort for the various beats. his own (prisoner's) heat or walk was the Spitalfields heat. After they were duly sorted the prisoner set out to deliver his packet. but was called back immediately, and witness saw the I , tee- /reduced taken from him by Mr. Scubherpe. Ile had no r i ght *iich it in his possession, as it was nut in his delivery. pri- Mathew Peake, the constable, proved taking the toner into eu=t,dy. He said nothing about the charge. The prisoner, who declined making any defence, was ordered to be committed for trial. There was arother charge i.gainst him of misde meanour in detaining numerous letters which ought to have been delivered. Mr. Welcome Cole, a president of the General Post office, proved that after the prisoner was in custody, went to his lodgings in Waterloo-town, and found twelve letters, all of which ought to have been delivered on Thursday last. The prisoner, on being asked about them, said he could not find the persons to whom they were addressed. Witness bad, however, since delivered them all himself. The prisoner said in his defence he had left them at home by mistakt. On this charge he was remanded for a week. CLERKEIV WELL. Camtaa or iluaoxa.—On Friday, Ana Hunter, aged twenty-four, wife of a co wkee p er, residin g at No. 7, Maiket street,i St. John-street, Clerkenwell, was charged before Mr. Greenwood with the wilful murder of an infant child of which it is supposed she was the mother. John Seward, police-constable No. 67 G, having been sworn, deposed as follows :—ln consequence of information which I received this morning about halt-past eight o'clock, that a child had been murdered at No. 7, Market -street, St. John-street, Clerkenwell, I proceeded thither. On going into the kitchen I saw a washhand basin lying on the table, containing the body of a dead child with its head severed from it as if it had been cut off with a knife. There was no appearance of blood. l' inquired of the landlady and other persons in the house whe ther they had noticed any pregnant person lately, and they informed me that the prisoner, about three weeks ago, had been taken very ill, and was in great pain. I went up stairs to the prisoner's apartment, on the first floor back, where I found her at breakfast. I spoke to her, and she said she was pregnant three weeks ag o, but she had miscarried, and her aunt, Mrs. Murphy, could prove it. She said Mrs. Muaphy lived ow Saffron-hill. I took the prisoner into custody. and conveyed her and the body of the child to the station-house in Bagnigge Wells-road. Eleanor Kirk, of Market-street, Clerkenwell, deposed—l am a lodger in the same house as the prisoner. She lived there one month. The prisoner, when she first came to lodge there. bore all the appearance of being in the family-way. About three weeks ago the prisoner was very ill, and went to bed. She was in great pain, and sent for a Mr. Howlet, of No 23, Smith-street, Clerkenwell, who ir tended her. Never saw a child on that occasion. Did not hear screams or crying of a child. This morning, at half-past eight o'clock, Mrs. Hum bersoss, the landlady of the house, made an alarm, and called witness informing her that she had discovered t he bod y of a dead child in the water-closet with its head cut off. They got the body out, and afterwards the head, both of which they washed, and placed them in a basin, when a policeman was sent for. Mr. GREENWOOD—Did the head appear to have been severed from the body with a knife ? Witness—Yes, your Worship. It twts a full-grown child. The prisoner denied that it was her child, and professed total ignorance of the affair. Mrs. Mary Ann Humberson deposed—l am wife of Francis John Humberson, of No. 7, Ma ket-street, St. John-street, Clerkenwell. This morning I found the body of the deNmsed child in the water-closet attached to my house. Its head was severed from its body. It was discoloured and black. When the prisoner fir-t came to lodge in my house I suspected that she was in the family way. About three weeks ago she was taken very ill and was in dreadful pain. She was confined to her bed. Her husband lived with her. Mr. Taylor, surgeon to the G division, and also to the parish of Clerkenwell, said he was called upon yesterday morning to examine the deceased child at the station-house. The head seemed to have been severed from the body by a knife. The body was decomposed. He had made but a superficial examination. The child appeared to have been born about three weeks. Sergeant Wilkinson, 18 G, here said that Mrs. Kirk had omitted to state one important fact in her evidence. When the prisoner was taken ill about three weeks ago, she (Mrs. Kirk) went for the purpose of seeing her, but she would not admit her. Mrs. Margret Murphy, wife of James Murphy, coal dealer, of Saffron-hill, deposed that the prisoner's mother was her first cousin. Prisoner had been in England four years. About three weeks ago, NI-s. Hunter, called on witness, and said the prisoner was very ill, and that a false report had been spread about her. Witness went to her, and found her in bed. Witness is a midwife. The prisoner was not in the fam i ly way. There was no child seen by her. There was not the least sign of miscarriage. Mr. Taylor said he was of opinion that the prisoeer had been confined and delivered of a child about the time stated. She bore all the usual symptoms of having been delivered of a child. Mr. GREENWOOD asked the prisoner what she had to say in her defence? The prisoner said—l have nothing at all to say, Sir, only that I know nothing at all about the matter. Mr. GREENWOOD—It is my duty to remand you until Tuesday next. The prisoner was then taken from the bar crying, when Mr. GREENWOOD directed Waddington, the gaelor, to allow her friends to have an interview with her, prior to her being locked up. - MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Jon Daniels, a young man of very respectable connexions, and who has for the last seven or eight years been a clerk in the employ of Mews. Dalmaine and Co., •f Soho-square, music publi.hers, was placed at the bar charged with attempting to pick pockets. George Anderson, police-constable No. 35, of the C division, stated that about five o'clock yesterday afternoon, he saw the prisoner following three ladies, walking arm-in-arm, up Re gent-street, towards Oxford-street, from Piccadilly. The prisoner looked back several times, to observe if he was watched. Witness was in plain clothes. He followed him up as closely as he could. At the Circus in Oxford-street the ladies were prevented from crossing by some omnibuses pass ing. The prisoner then went up to the middle one, and put his hand round her to her right-hand pocket. He, however, did not take anything out, as the ladies moved on at the in stant, and he then walked back down Regent-street, as far as Argyll-place, when he went up to two ladies who were looking in at a shop-window, and attempted the pockets of one of them in the same way. He afterwards followed two other ladies, and witness saw him lift up one of their gowns, on which he took him into custody. The prisoner resisted, and used very violent at4.l foul language, and attempted to get away. The prisoner, in answer to the accusation against him, said that nearly the whole of the statement of the police-constable was a fabrication. It was true that he was passing up Regent street when the constable stopped him, but that he bad not attempted to pick any person's pocket, or had he ever turned back as the constable stated. He resisted the constable, be cause, as he was in plai, clothes, he did not suppose he had any authority to arrest him. Mr. MALTBY asked the constable if he could be mistaken as to the acts of the prisoner as he had described? The constable s-id certainly not. The prisoner said his situation in life showed that such an accusation against him was preposterous. Wilks, the gaoler, and other officers of the court, said they had known the prisoner as a man of unblemished character for many years. A host of the prisoner's friends were in court to testify to the same effect. Mr. MALTBY said he should send the case for further inves tigation before a jury. The prisoner was accordingly committed to take his trial for the misdemeanour of , attempting to pick pockets. Bail was afterwards offered and accepted for his appearance, QUEEN SQT2ARE. - - - AN INitUMAN MoTHlit.—On Friday Anne Smith, a pros titute of the lowest grade, was charged with inhumanly neg lecting her child, an infant, only twelve weeks old, in conse uence of which its life is despaired of. The deplorable condition of the poor child was first brought to light by a girl who, having heard some talk amongst others of her own grade about the child, was induced, from motives of curiosity, to go and see it, but was so horror-stricken on beholding its emaciated condition, that she hurried to the police-station, and gave immediate information of the occur rence. Mr. Moran, the inspector on duty, promptly dis patched a constable with the girl to Mr. Thomas, one of the relieving officers of the parish. and the board, who were sitting at the time, directed that the child should be immediately taken :o the workhouse, the medical officer sent for, and every attention paid to it, and that the inhuman mother should be forthwith apprehended. A police-constable found prisoner in the tap-room of a public house, in the Broadway, playing at cards with some soldiers, and upon informing her that she must come with him, she coolly requested that she might be permitted to finish her game, but was of course not allowed to do so. Mr. Thomas produced the following certificate : " I have ex mined the infant of Anne Smith. The child is very emaciated, and evidently has been altogether neglected by the party who has had charge of it. It is very doubtful the child will ultimately survive. "J. WRIGHT. Anne Green, of the Almonry, Westminster, said she occu pied the next room to the prisoner, who had been in the house two months, and came there from the workhouse. The child was at that time a very tine infant, but had within the last month fallen off very much, during which time prisoner had been away from home more than usual. The accused was fre quently out all day long, and left the poor infant in her room by itself, and the witness has en several occasions when she heard it crying, gone into the room, brought it out, and washed and given it food. Prisoner went out at seven o'clock on Thursday morning, and was heard no more of until appre hended by the constable. Witness washed and fed the infant on that day. The infant was produced, and caused a universal shudder • it presented a truly e ma c iated appearance, and the poor ch i ld , want of nutriment from the mother, had sucked the flesh of one of its fingers to the very bone. The prisoner mutter-d that the young girl in the next room attended to it, and that it was in " a gallupping con sumption." Mr. BURRELL remanded her for a week. Prisoner inquired whether she was to be separated from her dear child? and shed a few tears. Mr. BuRIiELL said that the poor infant would be taken where it would receive the kindness it was her duty to have bestowed upon it, but which duty she had neglected. EXTENSIVE Fin E.- Ott Sii:unlav mornin2. shortly before one o'clock, a fire, attended with a very serious de struction of property, broke out upon the premises belonging to Mr. Moxon, a grocer and tea dealer, situate at No. 19, Blackmoor street, Clare-market, a very narrow and densely populated neigh bourhood. From inquiries instituted shortly after the outbreak, it appears that some of the neighbours first discovered the fire in con sequence of noticing smoke issuing through the window shutters. An alarm having beets instantly raised, some of the parties injudiciously burst open the street-door. The draught thus given to the flames caused them to travel with such sur prisin rapidity that, in less than ten minutes subsequently, the linuse, a very lofty one, was on fire from the basement to the roof, and to effect their escape the inmates were forced to retreat over the roof. The engines of the parish, London Establishment, West of England Company, and County Office, were remarkably quick in arriving, and no time was lost in setting the engines to work. The stock in trade being of such a combustible character, it became a powerful auxiliary to the flames, so much so that the fire extended completely across the street, severely scorching the fronts of the opposite houses, the inmates of which were forced to rush forth into the street in ord-r to escape being suffocated. By the indefatigable exertions of the firemen, the fire was so far sub dued by half-past two o'clock as to allay all fears of any further extension of mischief. By that time, however, the whole of the furniture, stock in trade, and wearing apparel, belonging to Mr. Moxen, were consumed, and the adjoining buildings severely damaged. Tho total loss must be very considerable. Fortunately no rives were lost. We belh•ve we may c shat Parliament will be prorogued not later than on Saturday next. If by any exertion the business of the sestinas can be dispatched before, the prorogation will take place on Thursday, the 7th inst. Her Majesty will, it is expected, embark upon her continental tour In the evening of the same day, whether the House be dis. missed on Thursday or Saturday.— Times.

Mr. Stmextrisox, with whom was Mr. Heathfield, moved for an injunction to restrain the defendant from selling or dis posing of any stout, porter, or other malt liquor, under the name of the well.known manufacturers, as. or for, or purporting to be, " Guinness's stout," other than such as should have been supplied by the plaintiffs to Messrs. Sparkes Moline, or their other agents; and from selling stout, porter, or other malt liquor with forged or imitated labels ; and from delivering over or parting with such bills or labels respectively to any otber perm than the plaintiffs, or persons appointed by them to re. ceive the same. The affidavit stated that the defendants had sold, and were still selling, malt liquor in bottles of the same shape ands zi' as those of the plaintiffs, and that they had used labels upon which the name of Guiness (with one n only) was tainted. His HONOU 11. granted the application. COI OF BANK WPTCY, Aug. 2. The cases to-day were principally unopposed insolvents. The only point of interest was on the peiition of an officer of the army. The insolvent proposed to set aside 701. a year out of his pay, and to give an order on the paymaster of his regiment, under orders for foreign service. The COURT asked him what security be could give, and whether the paymaster, being at home or abroad, would be bound to hand over the amount upon such an order? The insolvent said the paymaster would not object; and if he, the insolvent, broke his agreement, he would be I able to be tried by court-martial and cashiered for acting in a manner unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. The undertaking leis accepted, and the insolvent obtained his final order. INSOLVENTDEBTORS' COURT, Aug. 2. (Before Mr. Commissioner NICHOLLS.) IN RE DEARELOVE. Mr. Coors said that there were several witnesses in this case which it was very desirable should be beard before Mr. Commissioner Harris, and he had therefore to apply for the case to stand over till Tue-day. A gentleman who was in a , tendance said that it was a very hard case upon him • he bad been in waiting four or five days to be examined, and he was willing now to be examined, but he could sot attend any more. The Lea. ned Coxiutsstowita admitted that it was a hard case, and said he should not insist. Mr. Cools said, if the gentleman left his papers, that, per , haps, would be sufficient. IN AT WOLTON. This insolvent carried on business as a cabinet-maker, in Judd-street, New-road. He had mil/ been in business from November, 1844, to March, 1r 4 45, and during that time had contracted debts to the amount of 1.1451., for which be had received consideration, exc. pt to the amount of 851. He wg+ opposed by Mr. Cooke, on behalf of many creditors, and gay,• his evidence with great nonchalence answering the questions laeoni , ally, and the same questions affirmatively, negatively, po sitively, and doubtfully. The Learned COMMISSIONER asked the insolvent whether he was aware that the law required hint to answer the questions for the benefit of the creditors?—The insolvent said he was not. The COMMISSIONIR said that unless he an'wered in a be coming manner he would be sent back to college to study the law. The insolvent, however, scarcely altered his tone. He said he believed he knew a Sirs. Ensor, of Lordship-lane, Tottenham'. She was a creditor for 6001. She went to his house when he was out, and took furniture worth lOW. He had informed the police, She might have gone by the name of Wolton. They lived together for two years. He was " a little advanced in liquor," and had stayed out all night, and did not ask any questions about the furniture. A stranger told him That stranger was Mrs. Ensor, who told him next day that she bad taken the goods, as she would not be played with any longer. The ex amination was continued at great length, but no satisfactory account could be elicited as to the disposal of his property. The case was likely to occupy several hours. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—C , oydon, Saturday, CR( )WN COURT.—(Before Mi. Justice Coleridge Frances Mary IVilson, a very well dressed oung woman, and who was said to be respectably connected, surr, ndered in discharge of her recognizances, to answer four indictments fur larceny preferred against her by Mr. Ceolc, a draper tesidieg in Croydon. The case appeared to create very ereat interest. the trial eccupied nearly nine hours, and was not concluded until late in the day ; and dining the whole of this time. the Gina was crowded almost to suffocation. Tht moment the accused entere t the clock, she fainted, and she appeared to be in an almost unconscious state the whole of the day. The first indictment charged the prisoner with steal ing at the parish of Croydon, on the 31st May, a petti coat, value 7s, a pair of stays, value 7s, four habit shirts, a box of artificial flowers, value 5/., and sixty lengths of ribbon, value 6/., the property of Thomas Cook her master. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Creasy conducted the prosecu tion, and Mr. Clarkson, with Mr. Ballantine, defended the accused. From the evidence adduced on behalf ef the proven, tion it appeared that the prisoner had been iu the ser vice of Mr. Cook, as his head milliner and manager of that department, for nearly three years, and that she boarded and lodged in the house, and received latterly thirty-five guineas a year wages, and the utmost confi dence was reposed in her. For some time prior to the month of June, Mr. Cook entertained an opinion that his stock decreased in a manner that he could not ac count for, and he suspected thst some one about the pre mises was robbing him, and at length that suspicion was directed to the prisoner, and he gave directions to the other p, rsons in his employ to watch her. On the 18th June he sent for Collier, an inspector of police, and gave the prisoner into his custody. She handed over her keys to the officer, and pointed out seven boxes as belonging to her, which, on being opened, w, re found to contaiti very large quantity of property, consisting of flowers, gloves, linen, stockings, ribbands, the whole of which Mr. Cook believed to be his property. Some articles that the prisoner had given to a young woman named Grainger, a dress-maker in the town, were likewise taken possession of by the inspector, and Mr. Cook spoke also to these being his property. Mr. Cook now identified some of the articles that formed the subject of the present indictment, and deposed to his private mark being upon them, and that they had not been sold. Mr. Cook and the inspector underwent a most searching cross- examination by the learned counsel who appeared for the prisoner, and it was admitted that she was taken into custody suddenly, and without any ex planation being asked of her, and that she readily gave up her keys and pointed out the boxes that belonged to her, and that a number of documents referring to pro perty of the description alleged to be stolen, purchased by her, were found in her desk. The prosecutor stated that he had received a most excellent character with her, and that he found her services so valuable that he had raised her wages and, placed the utmost confidence in her. He likewise admitted that it was the custom of his establishment to allow the per eons employed there to take any articles they pleased from the stock at the cost price, and all that was re quired was for the person who did so to give notice of it to the cashier or some of the shopmen, and the amount of the article was deducted from the salary of the person who purchased it. It was also admitted that the accused was engaged a good deal in making up articles of mil linery fur sale, and that she would therefore require a considerable quantity of such articles as %ere found in her possession, and it was likewise admitted that, al though in the first instance Mr. Cook had professed to identify the whole of the property found, and which ho estimated to be of the value of 100 E ; yet he had only indicted her f r stealing a portion of it not worth more than LOl. er 121., and this had been made the sulsjeet off ur sesarete indictments, one of them refer ring to a cambric handkerchief, which had been seen in her possession some time before the 18th of June, and which shs had lent to one o, the she p:nen, who returned it ti her oa that ineraing, when it wag well-known that it bad bean arranged she should be t ,kern into custody, the object apparently being the the officer should find it in her possession. It likewise app sired that although the Magistrates had dismissed two charges of embezzle ment that were made against the prisoner, and expressed their opinions that they could not he supported, the prisoner had been indicted upon both the charges.
