This morning the greatest excitement prevailed at the west end of the town owing to a report getting into cir culation that one of the largest silversmiths in the Strand had been robbed during the night to the amount of between 2,0001. and 3,0001. On making inquiries the report was found to be but too correct, and that the pro perty stolen was of the most valuable nature, consisting of diamonds of the most costly description, and other precious stones, rings, and watches. The house in which the robbery was committed is Messrs. Chapman and Williams, the large silversmiths and jewellers, the left hard tide of Craven-street. Plato was no doubt the iLoideratum of the robbers, but the removal of it from the front shop to an inner shop foisted the burglars of their supposed booty. The premises were no doubt broken into about three o'clock this morning, but how the entry was effected there was nothing to show. The robbery was first discovered about seven o'clock, when the swop man came, and, to his astouihment, be discovered the right-hand door ajar. Rn pushed it open, and found the ceepet and the chairs all moved,and every thing in disorder in the shop. In a very short time the lies wee discovered, and information was at once sent to Whitehall and Bow-street, from which stations Inspec tors Lend, Shaw, and Dodd, battened to the spot. Ser geants Thompson and West have now the management of the case in their hands, and from all the circum stances which have transpired, they fully believe they will be able to place the delinquents at the bar of jus tice before another three days have passed. The greatest excitement prevails in the Strand amongst the silver smiths, for none of them think that they era now safe. FRANCE. The Siecle has the following on the recent nomina tions by the Pope to itoman Catholic sees in England t— " The promotion of an Englishman to the cardinalate had produeet a seas: Linn of surprise rather than of surer with our neighbours, but since it has been known that the new Cardinal, air. Wiseman, had been canted Arch bishop of Westminster, the anger has at least equalled the surerise. Are our neighbours in the wrong ? Str Robert Peel had understood that a Government which respects itself must put the appellations in accord with the truth. In consequence., he removed the prohibition to give the titles of Archbishop and Bishop to the Catholic prelates of Ireland. In a country woes three-fourths at least of the people profess a re lhthen, the practice of which does not enteil eithsr civil or political incapacity, it is very nsterel that the releis tees of that religion should receive the titles consecrated to the hierarchy. Bat it doe a not hence result, either in logic or in governmental courtesy, that the Pope should have the right of erecting in England, where the im mense majority of the ,people is not Catholic, episcepal and atehtepiscapel sees. We do not forget that the Holy :lea is :cm:timed to name bishops in partibus injidelivni. The question is to know whether it le proper to rank England among those countries. We do not think it is. In order to oppose reform, Loyola instituted the order of vie Jesuits, whose maxim in, the object sanctities the means.' The Council of Trent wished with the same ides that the authority of the l'epes should on absolute. The contrary, however, of what they sought was mtt with. Jesuitism and ulteamontamsra did a great deal morn harm to the Catholic religion than the reform itself. That truth we heiow has been denied, but as the denial comes fsorn those who did the mischief we may be allowed to give little credence to it. The church, which is a Gevernment, is subjected in spiritual order to the sates la es as other Governments in a temporal order. The mission of the latter is to apply political and civil principles in a manner the most in conferrnity to the wants and spirit of the time ; the misAen of the church is to conform itself to these wants, to this spirit in the application of its dogma. The dogma, it is said, is im mutable. Is not the principle of authority the same ? In politics as in religion, for those who know how to look at the groundwork of things, modifications only bear on the application of principles, great religious and social principles not being the work cf men. We have already told the sacred college with regard to the affair of the Archbishops of Turin and Cagliari, that it was injuri ous to Catholicism and the Papacy to maintain against universal reason, ecclesiastical immunities belonging to another age. Now we will say that it commits a not less serious fault in treating England like a region of infidels. The Court of Rome does not act very judi ciously to have England against it, while France was in its tavour. The Cardinals, therefore, injure the Pope by telling him that France is satisfied in being led to re-establish a Government which declares itself tor ever incompatible with constitutional liberty. We do not speak of gratitude, wo speak simply of prudence, and, in the order of human ideas, we express a serious doubt whether the Government of Rome acts well in giving a direct provocation to England ray the erection of bishoprics and archbishoprics which that Government will not recognise, and iedirectly to France in seeking to dis turb the internal peace of Piedmont, which intimately concerns her." We find the following in the Moniteur :—" The Government wishing to put an end to the malevolent and anti-national insinuations ' which some French jonrcials, on the faith of an English journal (the C'hronicic), have propagated, thinks it can not do better than publish the report itself, which the Minister of the - Marine has just received from Lieu tenant Foullroy, who had been sent on a mission to Admiral.Le Praour, nod who lies returned in the Alciblade : " Admiral, I formed part cf the staff of the Archin, a le, on the 21st July last; hi is thee as an eye-witness that i can make known to you what occurred in the roadstead of Buenos Ayres, under she circumstance to which certain journals allude. Admiral Le Pi elour embarked at Liao o'clock in the afternoop in an Argentine sloop to return on board the steam-corvette the Archimitle, which brought him to Monte Video, in the month of April. lie was accompanied by two Admirals, by a Captain of the little Argentine fleet, and by an Aide-de-Camp of General lianas. When the beat bearing the Ad :mime wets at 300 'yards from the war schooner the Julio; that vessel displayed the French flag and saluted it with seventeen guns. The Archiniede did not return this salute. as the Chronicle affirms ; it was the corvette the Astrolabe, which did so ; it fired seventeen guns, neither more nor less—l counted them. This exchange of salutes was not the subject of a previous convention ; it was as it were improvised, and was considered by all the spectators as an heritage rendered by the Argentine Government to the person of the French negotiator." The Presse publishes a letter from M. Mathieu (de la Drome), in which he replies to applications which had been made to him by the democrats of different localities in the department of the Nord for advice as to the line of conduct they should pursue in the election of the 3d November. He says that he considers abstention from vot ing as an imperative duty for all republicans, as to vote would be giving their approbation of the suppression of universal suffrage. He states that by the new law he was no longer an elector, and, per heps, no longer eligible. lie would nor, he says, fellow tine example set him by an immense majority of his colleagues, and have himself inscribed on the lishs of the department of the Seine, but had ranged himself voluntarily among the " vile multitude." GERMANY. The German Journal of Frankfort of the 19th as serts that the Hassenpflug Ministry, in Electoral Hesse, TAM retire as soon as another Ministry shall be formed, and it declares that this resignation has been insisted on by Austria, in compliance with the request of Bavaria and Wurtemherg as the condition of its support of the Elector. The same journal says that Austria has recommended the Elector to adopt conci liatory measures. It is stated in a letter from Munster, of the 17th, that part of the troops of the garrison of that place had left, to take up cantons in the environs of Pader born. _ _ _ The Cologne Gazette, under date of Berlin, 17th instant, says; — "The sitting of the Provisional College of Princes yesterday was but of short duration. A correspondence between the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin relative to tho Customs' Union was read. Various communications were also made on the subject of the approbation given by Several governments of the union to the policy pur sued by Prussia in the affair of Electoral Hesse. The deliberation on the affa ir of the Union in general re mains suspended until the declarations of the govern ments on the propositions made by th e Cabinet of r ßerlin have been,received. The next sitting i s fixed for Tues day next." The following letter, of the 12th, from Innsbruck, has appeared in the Ost Deutsche Post of Vienna : " The author of that so often-mentioned confiscated pamphlet, ' The Confessions of a Soldier,' has, by the Emperor's order, been dismissed from his suite. I know that a similar report, which proved incorrect, was in cir culation in Vienna Lefore the Emperor left. Now, how ever, you may consider the statement as certain; indeed, I can vouch for its correctness. The position of the MunstQr of the Interior would, without this satisfaction, have been untenable. This fact, and the unanimous in dignation with whtch Mr. de Babarczy' s p amp hl e t was received by the public pies?, having been represented to his Majt:sty by Prince Scliwarzenberg, no great difficulty was made about the matter, the more particularly as it was only ' by chance' that Mr. de Babarczy had accom pasned his Majesty." ITALY. The Sardinian Ministry has submitted a project of a tew division of the territory of the island of Sir dinia to the discussion of the divisional and provincial councils of the island. According to this plan, Siirdinia is to be divided into eight provinces, each having an intendant, a bishop, a tribunal of the first instance, and a military command ; so that, while under the present system, a commune may belong to a diocese totally different from the intendance or judicial district in which it lies, the new system would on the contrary introduce complete uniformity in that ptgticular. M. Pinelli arrived at Turin on the 15th. The Giornale di Roma of the 11th publishes a ma nifesto issued by Marshal Nunziate nod dated t. 17 ., 2701 ulr., (11:ee•ing .hat two companies of armed vo lunteers alkali be - fe ' r ' rned in the district of Cotrone (province of catauzaro) and four in the province of THE SUN, LO NDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 22, 1850, Cosenza, for the purpose of putting down the bri gandage now prevalent in Calabria and Basilicata. The Piedmontese Gazette cf the 17th is perfectly silent on the subject of the return of Signor Pinelli from Rome. But the Risorgimento, a Ministerial paper, whose chief editor but a few days ago was Count Cavour, now a member of the Cabinet, devotes a leeder to the subject, in which it states that Signor Pinelli had left Rome, in consequence of his conviction that it was impossible not only to come to an agreement, but eian to open preliminary negotiations with the Court of Rome ; that the latter had required the rf -establishment of the former state of things, before entering upon any discussion on the question ; after which the matter was to be treated as a perfectly novel subject, in order to leave the Papal Court in complete liberty as to the course to be pursued ; and that consequently the Sardinian Envoy had no power to treat on such bases. The article further says that the return of Chevalier Pinelli will in no degree modify the opinion of the Government, viz., that the laws hitherto framed, or to be framed in future, on the same principle, do not in any degree alter the relations between Church and State ; that when Rome and the Bishops remonstrated against the laws in question, the Piedmontese Government, although surprised at their opposition, determined to show its habitual deference to the Court of Rome, by sending Chevalier Pinelli there, " not to obtain a superfluous consent," but merely to rectify the erroneous opinions enter tained on the subject by the Holy See; but that Rome had refused to admit the real character of the mission of Pinelli, and attempted to curry it upon quite an other ground—a course to which Sig. Pinelli opposed his diplomatic experience, and preferred returning rather than giving way in the least degree to any pre tension incompatible with the perfect independence of his Government. The Opinione states, on what it considers official data, that the number of religious houses existing in the Sardinian dominions amounts to 483—that is, 384 in Piedmont, 253 male and 131 female ; and 99 in the island of Sardinia, 88 male and 11 female. That journal, calculating Vie inmates of each at 20, finds 6,820 monks and 2,840 nuns—that is, one monk for every 670 inba.bitants, and one nun for every 1,645. The Piedmontese engineers, on hearing of the arrival of Mr. Stephenson, the English engineer, at Turin, invited him to a banquet. Mr. Stephenson, who was to leave early on the morning of the 17th, expressed his regret at not being able to accept the invitation, but appointed seven o'clock in the evening to receive the corps of engineers. They accordingly waited upon him at the stated hour, and presented him with an address, to which he pro liaised to return a written reply. He conversed with them on the system of irrigation, practised with so much success in Lombardy acd Piedmont, and on various works of art he bad visited, but particularly on the bridge over the Dora, which does so much honour to the Sardinian engineer M. Moses. It was believed that Mr. Stephenson was commissioned by the Government to inspect the works of the railroad be tween Turin and Genoa, and to propose means of ob viating the natural difficulies which its construction presents.

Doctor, now in Edinburgh, when minister of Inverbrothock Chapel of Ease, Arbroath, was as much admired for his temperament, affa bility, and humour, as for his public ministrations. Being at a convivial party at the table of one of our most eminent manufacturers, where were assembled a large party of the elite of Arbroath, who much pestered his reverence for a song, for which he was famed, he at last consented, on the condi tion that they would pay him for his trouble. This created not a little laughter at the humour of the Bev. Gentleman, but they all consented, when Mess John put round his hat, which in a short time became plenished with gold, silver, and bank-notes. His reverence received great applause for his condescension and music, he, at the same time, bowing his acknowledgments, and emptying the hat of its contents into his pocket. Some short time thereafter, the party, think ing the "lark" had been carried far enough, began to give sundry hints as to returning the money, when Mr. L. arose amidst breathless silence and returned them his most sincere thanks for their liberality (naming the sum he had received), vihich would make a handsome addition to the funds cf the Destitute Sick Society, which were r,t that time in a very low condition. Need we add the 11ev. Gentleman was not re quired a second time to give a specimen of his muaical abi lities. Dunde e Courier. iTEAM ON THE PACIFIC. There are three companies that at present, or that contemplate, running lines of steamers between this city and Panama, to connect with lines on the At lantic side running he.twen New York and Chagres —namely, the Pacific Royal Mail Steam-ship Com pany, Robinson, Bisset, and Co., agents; the Empire City line, Everett and Co., agents; and Law's line, Mr. Oliver Charnel:, agent. There are six steamers at present on the Peerfic belonging to the Pacific Mail Steam Company—namely, the Oregon, Lieut. Patterson Commander ; the California, Lieutenant Budd; the Panama, Mr. D. G. Bally; the Tennes see, Mr. G. A. Cole ; the Carolina, Mr. R. L. Whit ing; the Unicorn, Mr. J. T. Nicholson. The Ore gon is 1,099 tons burden ; the California, 1,050 tons ; the Panama, 1,040 tons ; the Tennessee, 1,275 tons ; the Carolina, 542 tons ; and the Unicorn, 750 tons. They are nearly all new boats. The first three were built in the latter . 'part of 1848, in New York ; the Tennessee was built there in 1849; the Carolina was built in the same year in Philadelphia ; and the Uni corn in England. The steamers Oregon, California, and Panama leave Panama and Francisco on the Ist of every month ; the steamers Carolina and Tennessee on the 15th of every month. The Unicorn is used as a reserve boat, either here or at Panama, on any emer gency that may happen. Besides these steamers the company have now building two new ones, over 2,000 tons burden each, and no ex pense i 3 spares to make them superior, if possible, to any one now on their line. They have also on the way out the double engine steamer Columbia, 700 tons burden, to ply between San Francisco and the Columbia river. In the meantime the steamers Oregon, California, and Panama will, on their arrival here from Panama, run on to Oregon, returning in time to place their mails on board the steamer leaving here the Ist of every month for Panama. This line i has the contract for carrying the United States mail. The above steamers connect with the steamers Cherokee and Philadelphia at Cluegrek The Empire City line is to consist of the following—namely, Sarah 1 Sandi, Mr. W. C. 'Thompson commander; the Nor therner, Captain Waterman; and New Orleans, Cap tain Wood. The Sarah Sands is a propeller, and was built in England in 1847. Her superficial measure ment is 6,140 feet, and she is entitled. to carry 440 i steerage passengers. She was formerly plying be tween Liverpool and New York. The Northerner is a large and powerful steamer, and formerly ran between New York and Charleston. _ The Sarah Sands is the only one of the line now plying. The less 0: - leans and the Northerner fire expected to arrive here about the 10:h instant. No arrangement has yet been made as to times of sailing. They are to run in connexion with the Empire City and Crescent City, from Chartres to New York. Law's line consists of the Columbus, Captain Peck; the Isthmus, Captain Hitchcock; the Republic, Captain _Hudson; and the Antelope, Captain Aswell. These steamers are about 1,000 tons burden each, and a r e nearly new boats. The steamers Republic and An telope have not arrives yet, but are shortly expected. It is proposed that they shall leave Panama and San Francisco on the Ist and loth of every month. They are to connect with the Ohio, Georgia, and Falcon, at Cbagres. Each cf the steamers has a surgeon at tached, and they are all fitted up with as much regard to comfort and accommodation as steamers in any other part of the United States. The only inconve nience felt is from the great number of passengers crowded together in every steamer from Panama ; but from the number of steamers now engaged in the business this will in future be materially diminished. We have now 12 ocean steamers and 20 river boats plying to and from San Francisco; and if we judge of the future from the past, there is little risk in predict ing that the number will be more than double before the lapse of another year. At any rate, there is little doubt but that we shall soon have a regular weekly communication with Panama.—Sun Francisco News. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. John SLTenson, alias Wilkinson, alias Johnson, alias Waczans, alias Price, alias Bacon, alias Willis, alias FL - rrars.., alias Wilson, was placed at the bar before Alderman Challis for final examination relative to a charge of obtaining various rums of money from a great number of respectable London firms by means of fraudulent representations. The previous depositions having been read over,' Daniel May, the detective officer attached to the Fleet-street station, who had undertaken the task of collecting all the necessary evidence to substantiate the various charges against the prisoner, stated to the Alderman that twogentlerr:en, of the neaueslof Lucas and Burroughs, were in court for the purpose of pre ferring charges of a similar nature to those already brought against the prisoner at the bar. Alderman CHALLIS said, he did not think it was ne cessary to take the evidence in any other case where the circumstances were precisely the same. It would only be occupying the time of the Court to no pur pose, as there was already more than sufficient to send the prisoner to the Old - Bailey. The worthy Alder man further added, that he thought if the case were made public gentlemen would smile when they read the names of the respectable firms that had been duped by the prisoner's schemes. He was surprised that no one had questioned the ability of the prisoner to produce oil, turpentine, or naptha at such extraor dinary low prices as 2d., tid., and 41. per gallon. He thought that it might everitually prove a piece of wholesome experience to all who had suffered on the prisoner's account. Mr. Rose, one of the gentlemen who had been in duced to advance about 201, to the prisoner on his hare arsertion that he could make napalm at 2d. per gallon from sawdust, said that there was certainly some exctre for himself and other gentlemen, when the prisoner's exterior and mode of address were taken into consideration. There was no doubt that the prisoner was a very clever fellow in the line of lice he had chosen to adopt. Ile however hoped that others might be benefitted by his experience. On being asked what he had to say in his defence, The prisoner replied that he could only reiterate what be had before atated. He had always obtained his living honestly and industriously as long as he could obtain a situation. Alderman CHALLIS—AIIow me to caution you. You are not obliged to make any statement, but whatever you say is being taken clown in writing. Prisoner—lf I am implicating myself in the state ment I have made I shall say no more. Alderman CEIALLTS—What you have said is tanta mount to acknowledging that when you have been unable to live honestly you have resorted to dishonest Pri=mner—Then I shall ress , rve my defence. Ald.2rlntm CHALLIS—Then you stand committed to take your trial at the Old Bailey Sessions. They are now on, and you will therefOra not have to be detained very long. The prisoner was then. removed from the bar, and conveyed to IN.Tewgate to await his trial being called on. street the. prisoner came running back again, and he was secured. The witness added thet he was confi dent as to the prisoner's identity. Four policemen deposed to the circumstance of taking the prisoner into custody in Rhhert-stropt, and the complainant charging him with robbing- her in Cross-street. They added that he was violent in his, conduct, and kicked one of them on the leg. Nei ther of the policemen, however, witnessed what was alleged to have first occurred with respect to the robbery. Mr. Solarions said that, notwithstanding the de gree of confidence with which the comphiinant and the two other witnesses spoke as to the identity of the prisoner, he would show, by the most incontestable proof, that he was completely innocent of the alleged charge. The facts were shortly these—The ac cused, who had served four years of his time to a bookbinder, and was a young man of unexception able character, went on Se.turday evening to the George public-house, in George-street, Blackfrinrs road, where he remained with two other young men until half-past eleven o'clock, at which hour his mother went to look after him. He at laat came out of the parlour to the front of the bar, where his mother stood, she asked him to give her some money which he had previously promised her, but in stead of complying with her request, he pulled a half penny out of his pocket, end by wav of derision offered it to her. She felt indignant at his conduct in offering her the coin, and rve him a slap in the face; upon which he exclaimed, " 1 shall not go home to night," and immediately ran cut of the house. The mother instantly ran after him up George-street, and into Robert-street, calling out " Stop thief." This she did thinking he would stop and return, but he continued running, and she saw him stopped by a policeman ; and when he was in custody she saw the complainant come up at the moment, and accuse her son of having robbed her haCrozseA, as above de scribed. Mr. Selections added that Le should call forward witnesses to prove that it was altogether a case of mistaken identity, and that the accused had not been in Cross-street at all on the night in ques- tion, not having crossed the Blackfriars-read, but ran, pursued by his mother, in quite a contrary direction. Five witnesses were then called on the pert of the prisoner, and amongst them his mother, a highly re spectable looking woman, who described with mi nuteness the circumstances that occurred in the pub lic-house, and pursuing her son when he ran away from her, declaring that she had not lost sight of him from the moment he ran out cf the public-houseuntil saw him in custody. She remonstrated with the complainant, who came up and charged her son with robbing her in Cross-street, although she (witness) assured her that she waa mistaken. Yet she persisted in the charge, and her son was taken away to the sta tion house, and locked up for the robbery. The poor woman lamented that she herself was the chief cause of the arrest of her son by calling out " Stop thief," which she did thinking he would return and accom pany her home, instead of which it led to en unfounded charge being alleged against him, of which Ler son was entirely innocent. The landlady of the George and her daughter con firmed the account given by the mother cf the pri: , o- Der as to his being in that house until half-past eleven o'clock on the night in question, and the other cir cumstances as related by her, adding that they saw him run up George-street towards Robert- street, quite in a contrary direction to the street where the alleged robbery took place, and that they heard the mother shout " Stop thief" after him. Other witnesses spoke as to the excellent character of the aceti , ed, and two of them, who were with him in the George, stated that on hearing the cry of " Stop thief," they followed in the direction he ran, which was towards Robert-street, and saw him stopped and taken into custody for an offence of which he was innocent. The witness added that he had not left the public-house more than two or three minutes before he was in custody. Mr. A'BECKETT (addressing the complainant) said—You have heard all that has been stated by the witnesses called for the prisoner. Do the contradic tions you have heard satisfy your mind that you are mistaken in the prisoner's identity? Complainant— Not at all. lam still convinced he is the map. Mr. ATECKETT—Then if that is the case, I have no other alternative than to send the case before a jury. There are a few minutes certainly unaccounted for, and Cross-street being so near the spot where the prisoner was taken into custody, and the complainant, her daughter, and the young men, the other witness, speaking so positively to his identity, compels me to send the case for trial. Mr. Solomons hoped the magistrate would take bail for the prisoner's appearance to answer the charge ; he could have surety to any amount, his friends being convinced of his innocence of the alleged charge. Mr. A'BECKETT said that the sessions commenced that day, and that the witnesses might at once go before. the grand jury, and that there need be no delay in prosecuting the charge. The prisoner was then committed. In the latter part of the day hail was offered and received for the prisoner's appearance to answer the charge. PERSIA. Letters bare been receired by the Persian Charg6 d'Affaires at Constantinople, from his Government, announcing the recent discovery of a vast conspiracy at Teheran. The most influential members of the clergy were at the head of it, and its object was to overthrow the present Shah, to replace him by a de icendant of Ali, and to drive ail the Turks out of Persia. Numerous arrests bad been made at Tehe ran, and in the principal towns. The greater num. I , er of those arrested belong to the body of Ulemas. Tais event has caused great agitation throughout all Persia. T URKEY. A letter from Constantinople, of the sth, says that the English lady who some time since killed one of her eunuchs has been condemned to five months' im prisonment, and her accomplices to a more severe punishment.

Mr. James Clarke, house-surgeon of Shoreditch workhouse, accompanied by one of the trustees and other cfficials of that parish, attended before Mr. Arnold to obtain his advice as to the proper mode of proceeding against a young man named John Sayers, who was suspected to have administered poison to one of the male inmetes, whereby his life had been placed in imminent danger. Sayers, a spare, sickly-looking lad, about 1G years of age, was brought up in the custody of Weller, the beadle, but not placed at the bar, the charge not having been formally entered at the station-house. Mr. Clarke stated that on the morning of Wednes day last he was hastily summoned to the workhouse infirmary, to attend a pauper named William White, whom he found suffering from severe pains in the sto mach and bowels, accompanied by constriction of the throat, with violent purging, sickness, and other symptoms denoting that something of a poisonous and irritating nature had been administered. The proper remedies were so promptly and successfully applied that the man was now convalescent, but the liquid discharged by the patient had been unfortunately thrown away in his absence, and he had not, therefore, had an opportunity of analyzing its contents. He considered the case, however, to be of such a suspicious nature, that he felt it his duty to make a formal report cf the facts to I , tne board of guardians, who instituted an immediate investigation into the matter, in the course of which they obtained such disclosures from some of the other paupers as to induce them that morning to sulject the boy Sayers to a close examination, and he then admitted that he had a familiar acquaintance with the properties of arsenic, and had been on intimate terms with one of the male paupers in the refractory ward, of a most abandoned character, who had been sen tenced to transportation for stabbing, but had since returned to the workhouse :and that he had also been present when the latter administered chloroform to a clog, which became almost instantly insensible. Under these circumstances, they deemed it advisable to submit the facts for the magistrate's opinion as to whether there was sufneient evidence of criminality to sustain a criminal prosecution. William Macdonald, a pauper in the house, was then called, and stated that on that day week the accused accosted him in one of the wards of the workhouse, and in reference to the illness of the man White, who was then in a very dangerous condition, told him that he had mixed up some stuff to give to another pauper, who went by the appellation of the " Old Prophet," and that be was sorry it had been taken by White, for whom it was not intended. Witness asked him what the stuff was, to which he then replied that it was a strong dose of Spanish flies, but subsequently said that it was arsenic, which he had procured from a doctor's surgery, arid intended to give it to " the Prophet," who had predicted that he would die upon the gallows, a prophecy he was determined should never be realised, unless it was upon his own account. White, the man who had taken the supposed poison, and who occupied the same ward with Sayers, then stated that on Sunday se'nnight, after the inmates had had their breakfast, he noticed that Sayers had left the basin of gruel apportioned to him wholly un touched, and he accordingly drank it himself, with the assent of the accused to his so doing; but, ob serving a glossy brown-coloured sediment at the bottom of the basin, he questioned him as to what it was, and be answered that it was only the brown sugar with which it had been sweetened. A few hours after he had taken the gruel he was seized with such violent pains and sickness that he was obliged to go to bed, and continued in a state of excruciating suffering until the medical officer was called in, when he gradually improved, but be still felt himself in a very shattered and debilitated condition. In answer to a question from the Magistrate, Mr. Clarke intimated that, from the description of the sediment discovered by the man White at the bottom of the basin, he should be induced to infer, if any de leterious ingredient had been mixed up in the gruel, it must necessarily have been can tharides, which would present an exactly similar appearance. Several other witnesses were in attendance, and about to be examined, but Mr. ARNOLD said it would be useless to pursue the inquiry any further at present, as he had no power to entertain a charge which had not been regularly entered at the police station, and brought before him in the usual mariner for adjudication ; and he would, therefore, recommend the parish authorities to enter into a further investigation of the case, and adopt at their own discretion such steps as the facts would justify, and bring the matter properly within his ju risdiction. The parish authorities expresaed their intention to adopt the magistrate's suggestion, and the accused was transferred back to the workhouse in the charge of the beadle. SOUTH WARK. Alexander Waterman,a young man apprenticed to a bookbinder, was placed at the bar before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with robbing Mrs. Hannah Robin son, the wife of a tradesman. The investigation of the charge excited much interest, owing to the hitherto unblemished character of the accused, and the numerous witnesses who came forward to prove that it was a case of mistaken identity on the part of the complainant. Mrs. Robinson stated that on Saturday night, about a quarter before twelve o'clock, she went from home, accompanied by her daughter, a girl about fifteen years of age, to make some purchases, and that while walking along Cross-street, Blackfriars-road, she stooped to pick up a child who had fallen. down. While in the act of stooping she felt a hand in her pocket, and immediately seized that of the prisoner, who was close by her side. In withdrawing his hand from her pocket he dropped a half-crown on the pave ment, and she exclaimed "You have robbed me," and tried to detain him, but he ran away, and crossed Blackfriars-road, into the street-opposite. She added, that she kept him in sight nearly from the mument he tried to make his escape until he was taken into custody; and that she missed 55. out of her pocket. In her cross-examination by Mr. Solomons, on behalf of the prisoner, she said that she had an op portunity of seeing his face distinctly by the gas light. That she saw him run from Cross.street to George-street, on the other side of Blackfriars-road, and knew that he and no other person was the man who robbed her. The complainant's daughter confirmed the part of her evidence which related to the prisoner's identity. Frederick Jones, apprentice to an engineer, stated that he heard the complainant cry out. " Stop thief" in Cross-street, and saw the prisoner, who struck him a blow in the mouth which knocked him down, run ning nwey. He (the prisoner) crossed B!ackfriars read into George•street, and Witness pursued him in thot direction, and only lost sight of him for a few moments, and while he was near the end of George- RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. BLACKWALL.—There is a report that the London and North-Western Company have come to an ar rangement with the directors of the London and Blackwall Railway, in terms of which the stock of the latter company is to be purchased by the former, at 11/. 15s. per share. CALEDONIAN.—In consequence of the resignation of Captain Plunkett, chairman of the Caledonian Company, Mr. Fawcett, the largest holder in the company,with four or five other extensive proprietors, waited on Mr. Glyn, to ask the assistance of the Lon don and North-Western Company in the present diffi culties of the Caledonian. The answer of Mr. Glyn to the application was, that while there existed diffe rences among the directors the London and North- Western Company could not interfere ; but if once the directors of the Caledonian were united among them selves the London and North-Western would render them all the assistance in their power. T HE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY DOCK; OPP°. SITE WOOLWICIL—The boring operations for the Victoria Docks, connecting the Eastern Counties Railway with the Themes, by means of their North Woolwich branch, have just been commenced by the engineers, and the excavation=, for which all the necessary engines and plant are being purchased, will shortly be begun. The operations are for a line of docks and canal, larger than any yet constructed on the banks of the Thames, along which they will ex tend a total distance cf nearly three miles. One dock out of the four proposed, the westernmost one, is the first being constructed with the canal, locks, and river entrances extending ever the track of the marshes, and intersecting the North Woolwich Rail way, where the upper lock will be crossed by the rail way on an incline of from 1 in 100 to lin 200. The width of the one dock now commenced will average a quarter of a mile. The water area that will be afforded by these docks, at a cost of half a million, will be 280 acres, equal to that of all the other docks put together. WHITEHAVEN AND FURNE , S.—It is expected that the remaining portion of this line, from Bootle to the junction with the Furness Railway near Broughton, a distance of 14 mile«, will be opened for passenger and goods traffic about the end of the present month. The length at present in operation, from Whitehaven to Bootle, is 21 miles, and when the remaining portion is opened the total length will be 35 miles. The cost of construction will be about 10,200/. per mile, which is much less than one-third of the average cost per mile of railways in the United Kingdom. BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERITAMPTON, AND STOUR VALLEY.—A meeting of the inhabitants of Wolver hampton was held on Friday last, to take into consi deration the non-opening of the Stour Valley Rail way to Birmingham. The Mayor said he had reason to think that if a deputation were appointed to wait upon the directors of the London and N orth-Western Railway Company with respect to the eubject of which they had such just reason to complain, and without any reference to the disputes existing be tween that company and the Birmingham and Shrewsbury, and Shrewsbury and Chester Compa nies, they might be successful. He strongly urged upon the meeting the propriety of adopting such a step. A general feeling of concurrence in the opinions ex pressed by the Mayor was manifested by the meeting, and it was proposed—" That the Mayor, Mr. G. Briscoe, Mr. J. Barker, and Alderman Andrews be appointed to confer with the directors of the London and North-lA T estern Company." Mr. Lowe seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE. —The committee of shareholders, representing the holders of the fifth shares, have met the new board, who have agreed to modify the terms upon which those shares were created. The terms are as follow :-91. out of the 11/. called up, to receive the full dividend paid on the Lancashire and Yorkshire stock. The remainder of the shares uncalled (110, to receive a guarantee dividend of 4 per cent., so far as 101. is concerned ; 1/. per share being considered as sunk. As this class of shareholders received under the terms of the crea tion, about 17 per cent. for a considerable period, or a total sum beyond that accruing to the ordinary hol ders of about 87,000/., the old shareholders are of opinion that an undue preference is being given; that a deliberate bargain, of which the fifth holders have had the sweets, is being violated, because the terms of the bargain are now adverse to them ; and that a new guaranteed stock is being virtually created, to the damage of ,the shareholders. It is Said that ene of the new board holds about 3,000 fifth shares. The whole question, however, will have to he can vassed by a special meeting to be held on the 2d of November. Tile number of attorneys and solicitors at present in London, Westminster, and Southwark, and their environs, is 3,269 only. ANECDOTES OF THE QUEEN. Two characteristic anecdotes, received on excellent authority, have just come to our knowledge. One of them illustrates in a delightful manner the proverbial kindliness of disposition and humility of our Gracious Sovereign, and the other evinces a love of practical joking of such a kind as the " Merry Monarch" might have related in his calmer moods. About a fortnight ego a carpenter, who was employed by her Majesty in the erection of houses for the poor people in the neighbourhood of Balmoral, wounded his leg severely when handling an adze. Her Majesty's physician, Sir James Clark, by permission, or express desire of his Royal Mistress, visited the sufferer, and in a short time afterwards, when the Rev. Mr. Ander son was in the house, a gentle tap was heard at the humble cottage-door, and on being opened the sym pathising face of our Gracious Queen met the asto nished and delighted gaze of the inmates. Hearing of the accident her Majesty had ordered her car riage, and visited the humble patient, to express her sympathy and insure attention to his wound. , The other incident to which we refer is inte , restinr , as an indication of her Majesty's liveli ness of disposition, increased, we doubt not, by the exhilarating effects of the mountain scenery and atmosphere of her Highland home. Prince Albert, who is almost as keen a sporteouan with the rod as with the gun, bad employed a number of men to drive the few salmon and trout which the river contained towards the nets placed further down. Up to the waist himself in the water, he urged on the others to active exertion with their spears. liar Majesty was looking on from the bank, and observing one of the party standing on a stone in a range of stepping-stones across the river, asked a little boy, with the offer of a shilling, to steal gently behind the dry spectator, and by a neat push to immerse him in the cool element among those whose labours he was contemplating. The little fellow, unconscious of the dignity of the lady who spoke to him, and perhaps a little timorous of the result of such a joke, practised upon the formidable form of Mr. —, declined the tempting bribe, and Mr. escaped an impending -- ducking. A reverend gentleman relating the two stories above noticed to a homely individual, residing in the neighbourhood of Balmoral, received the fol lowing reply :—" Hoots, is that a' ye ken about it ? Auld Janet, up bye, an' the Queen are great freens, and her wither tee (the Duchess of Kent) is a rael nice bodie,"—lnverness Advertiser. SHIP NEWS. QUARANTINE NOTICES. Leghorn, 0ct.,12.

'l ll° l a re, t wo most remarkable specimens brought by this last arril n , of the gigantic bull, already l mown by report, and a "oil nearly equal dimensions. 11 oth these animals are coustrtio,th on precisely the same principle. The beads are human , Wi a d caps upon them, and heards elaborately curled , they have the large sp . .Tading wings so: frequent, '5, Assyrian antiquities. The side view of them is in`',ls relief, and so seen they apr,,ear to be in motion, the oil-'"of being inclined backwards. The head, however, and one °a the front legs, are brought. to the edge of the slab, N u % which they are carried so as to present a full front view ► a fifth leg being added in a stationary position, to correspo n with the others. These fi ;urea are in size from nine to ten feet square. Another curt ous specimen is a group of tic ° human figures, in very high i relief, each dressed in a cap (leg merited with horns. This is at present in separate piece!: having been apparently a xwn for facility of conveyan t- , e ., The other pieces, now un Dacked, are for the most p art that flat style which beim igs to the specimens already r. ranged, and contain the rei Iresentations of kings , monarceiyaiA &c., with which those who, have paid any attenti on t° tO. class of antiquities are wel 1 acquainted.
