LANDERS and HAMBURGH MAIL Bnussirs, Ocr. 13.—We have had our attention called to a fact much to be regretted, which has occurred several times it that part of Flanders where work is given to the weavers. In consequence of the high price of potatoes, the distress of some of these weavers has become so great that they have sold the materials which were confided to them. If this should continue, the manufacturers will desist from giving out work rather than expose themselves to such risks, and the good will suffer for the bad. The failure of the potato crop is on the point of giving occasion to law snits in,the:distnct of Brussels, in consequence , of disputes between the farmers and the individuals who generally agree with them for the lease of the land prepared for the cultivation of potatoes. It is usual to pay for such , land at the rate of one franc per rod, and then those who have taken the land plant it at their own risk. The farmer who thus lets his field prefers a small rent to the chances of a good or bad crop. In the present state of things, most of those who have planted potatoes on the above conditions refused to pay the rent agreed to, and abandoned the produce, which in some places is not worth the trouble of gathering. They pretend that it is quite enough that they have lost their time, their seed plants, and their crops, without being obliged to pay the rent, and besides that it is equitable that the loss should be shared by the contracting parties. It remains to be seen whether the courts of justice will recognise that mode of reasoning The magistrates of Courtrai have placed a military past at every gate of the town to hinder the plun derers, who every day rob the fields in the environs, from going out of the town with sacks, rakes, &c., with orders to ascertain the origin of the potatoes, carrots, turnips, &c.,_ which beggars bring into the town. This prudent measure will give confidence to the farmers and inhabitants of the country, which has been much shaken by their audacious robberies and incessant depredations. The Messager de Grand, of the 17th, says that this system of plunder is carried on to a great extent in the environs of that city. ST. PETERSRURGH, Ocr. I.—Lieut.-General the Prince of Warsaw, Ccant Faskewitsch, of Erivan, arrived at Elizabeth grad on the 10th of September. DRESDEN, oev. 6.—The question of the recognition of the German Catholics is important to the Chamber, as one of the members, a manufacturer from Chemnitz, belongs to that sect, and the Government seems disposed to contest, on that account, his qualification for a seat in the Chamber. CELLE, Ocr. 10.—The King and the Duke of Bruns wick went out bunting. The town was partly illumin ated in the evening. Some excesses took place. No notice, had been given of the illumination, and the mob broke the window of M. Kapman the banker, and others who had not illuminated. This is much to be regretted, as everybody ought to be free to do as he likes on such occa sions, especirely as the town was illuminated on the preceding evening. It was thought necessary to call in the military. BERLIN, Ocr. 6.—The reports respecting a constitution are becoming more positive. It is said that an opinion pre vails that the almost unanimous petitions of the provincial assemblies cannot be again disregarded, and it is affirmed that a commission under the Ministers Von Thile and Von Curretz has been appointed to draw up a Constitution, which will be published with the recess of the assemblies. OssNEGY, Ocr. 10.—Deputations sent from Osnaburg to Hanover, with congratulations on the birth of the young prince, have brought back the intelligence that his Majesty the King had declared that the iron railway, which is to go from Blinds, by way of 3lelle Osnaburg, and so on to Holland, is to be executed at the public expence. COLOGNE.—The Rhenish. Observer confirms the report, that a conference of Protestant clergy will shortly be held at the instance of the Prussian Government. BRESLAU, Ocr. 6.—The German Catholics had regular divine service for the first time to-day in the large church of St. Bernhard, which was crowded in every part. BRUSSETB, Ocr. 14.—The average price of wheat last week was 22f. 89c.. and that of rye 16f. 58c. It may be considered as certain that the Board of Public Works has resolved to grant the conveyance, free of expense, on the Government railway, to all provisions imported into the kingdom by the local authorities, or by charitable insti tutions, or even by individuals ; the exemption will be granted on proving that the importation is not intended as a speculation, but only to sell again at the current prices. Vessels with considerable supplies of provisions continue to arrive at Antwerp from various foreign ports. In all parts of the kingdom measures are taken to provide work and subsistence for the poor during the approaching winter. ADDRESS TO THE POPE. (From a Poem by Herwegh.) Yes, I must give thee one curse more ; A curse upon thee, Peter's son, Curse on thy clergy o'er and o'er, A curse on thy polluted throne. 'Twas only venom, Pope, and gall, Which, from the pole to the equator, Thou scatter'dst o'er the nations all, With hyssop-dropping sceptre, traitor. Canaan of Europe, wo to thee, Who once the world a Brutus show'd, And now thy slavish coward knee, Before a Vatican has bow'd. Thou bast impal'd the flesh of man, Once birth-place of Rienzi Cola, Since Luther felt the Papal ban, And none seem'd loyal but Loyola. The soil that once pure honey gave Only with tears of sorrow flows, Since Henry in his shirt*—the slave— Stood in the Papal yard and froze. Then charnel-like its incense bnrn'd, The Eden chang'd to a Zahara ; And to Italia's shroud was turn'd The many-colour'd, bright tiara. But, haughty Rome, repress thy pride,— A limit to thy course is set. A stream thou art—exhausted—dried, — An infant's lip thou can'st not wet. Thou art a deeply fallen land, Nought but a newly-fashioned Babel. Fraud—fraud alone is thy right hand; Thy only sword is lie and fable. Though many slaves thou may'st enlist Throughout the world, thou still must fade ; The Holy Spirit can exist Without a priestly prince's aid. Thou despot in the hellish pool, I have one greeting more—receive it— In Peter's chair thou holdest rule, Peter was like thee—l believe it— Who, when his Lord was judg'd by men, Could feel no honest anger glow, And when he was condemn'd—ay, then— Exclaim'd, " The man I do not know ;" Who, when the globe with anguish shook, And fel , its very core was shatter'd, Before the fire his station took, And with the judge's damsels chatter'd. In weakness only art thou like— A rock, like him, thou can'st not stand; The breeze of morn thy realm will strike, And scatter it about like sand. The thinkers will at last awake, Pastor of lies, thy powe r t o humble; The age's wrath will o'er thee break The last of its tormentors crumble. * The well-known penance of the Emperor Henry IV. FALKIRK THIRD TRYST. - - - - - The third and last of these great cattle trysts commenced on Monday. The present, as the principal and concluding market for the season, necessarily congregates every available species of stock, which must now be disposed of. Accord ingly, the first day being for sheep exclusively', the tryst ground presented fully one-third less than last October tryst. Little actual business was done in the early part of the day, all parties standing off. 400 white-faced wethers were bought by Mr. Hannah, &c., Galloway, at all.. ancla luck-penny : 200 white-fac. d wethers, by gr. Tomlinson,. Cumberland, at the sante money ; 309 'white -faced wethers sold by Mr. Scott, Avondowie; to Mr. 'Milburn, Cumberland,' at 30s. • 400 white faced weth ers b oug h t b y M r. Hetherington, Brightgilt, Dum friesshire, at 295. ; 13 score bought by Mr. Anderson, Black yarn, Galloway, at nearly the same sum ; 5 score and 5 sold by Jr. Scott, the extensive dealer, 'llawick,' to Mr. Howden, Edinburgh, at 31s. ; 440 bought by Mr. Murray, Biggar, at 30s. ; 600 by M r. Markindale, Cumberland, at 31s. These lots of Cheviot wethers were all in excellent condition, and may be quoted as the average top lots ; 200 white-faced ewes feom North Sutherland, were purchased by Mr. Wil kinson, of Stagiebank, Northumberland, at prices ranging ' from 16s. to 18s. ; six score of white-faced y ewes b 'Mr Mr. Campbell, Lockerby, at 20 s . ; 10 5 white-fac e d breeding ewes by Mr. Robinson, for Ireland, at 17s. 6d. TuEspay.—This morning the weather was beautiful, and continued so throughout the day. Sales went off briskly in the forenoon, and followed in rapid succession till one o'clock, when farmers being nearly supplied, sales became slower; and at that period of the day a great many of the prime stock were disposed of. Prices were up from last September tryst, and in comparison to that of last year October tryst, beasts fetching 71. to-day may be quoted 20s. to 21s. up, and in some cases more, even taking superior quality this year into ac count. Altogether this was a cheering market for the agri culturists, and all holders of stock seemed quite satisfied with prices. The supply was a fair average in point of number, and rather superior in quality. A considerable number of su perior stock will remain over, it is calculated, till Wed nesday. IMPOSITIONS UPON THE PRESS.—In common with every one of our contemporaries we received, on Wednesday evening, a report under the signature of a well-known and Leneral contributor to the d a ily press , o f t h e d eat h o f a ieutenant-Colonel Metcalf, at Elstree, under very peculiar circumstances. The report had every appearance of genuine-. negs; not only the signature but the general character of the handwriting resembled extremely that cf our ordinary con tributor, and, as our readers are aware, the report appeared in our Thursday's impression. We have since, however, been favoured with a communication from the coroner of Hertfordslaire, who was said to have presided at the inqintst, in which 11.3 assures us that no such inquest has ever b aen held, and that no such occurrence has ever, within hum/an memory, taken place at Elstree. Upon reference to our files it appears that the report appeared originally in our columns in 1843, and has been copied, with some slight changes of names and dates, verbatim by the perpetrator of the fraud- So adroit was the forgery that, as we have already said, every one of our contemporaries were, equally with ourselves. deceived, and a long report, probably with no bettter foun dation, of an alleged " Case of shoplifting by a lady of for tune," by the same hand, appeared in most of them yester day. The case was alleged to have been heard at Brent wood, and we Have no doubt that the report will be found to be a transcript of one which was published about a year since. Fortin lately, we possess some clue to the discovery of this public 11 , 3 axer, and no exertions shall be spared to bring him to justi 'e.—Times. HAMER, STANSFELD, ESQ.—Ws are informed of a fact, whi though not strictly public, yet deserves to be male tech, both for its own nature, and as characteristic of a hirjfily respected fellow-townsman. It is well known that r,eral years since the firm of Stansfeld, Briggs, and Star Is :0d, of which Mr. Hamer Stni , reld was a junior partner, became unforturlte,. Ever since that period, tide gentleman has contemplated the payment, if Providence should prosper him; of his share of the debts owing by the above firm; and. ' just previous to h is marriag, which took place a few weelu; since, he sent round a circular to all his former creditors, ac companied by 2C+s. in the pound on his - proportion of every debt. Such insea aces of mercantile honour as this should be; widely know n , i n order that they may be both admired amid imitated. —Leeds iirercury. CONFUSION OP' CAUSE AND EFFECT.—An itinerant preacher, when discos. using on the goodness of Providence, said., " But, my brethren, even death itself, which, forour many offences , 'We have all martted,Frovidence has wisely placed at the end of cum lives ; for, oh, what wc..uld life be worth if death were at the be.• ginnir g 7" In another part he remarked, "It is another Instancy Of the goo d o c o of Providence, that la rge r i vers always flow by great towns." --- SOUTH DEVON.—GnSs is tolerably plenty in the prstures, The crop of turnips is by no means fine th is sea_ son. We are sorry to remark that many farmers ar e n obliged to sell some of their stock to pay their rent, rat; &c.

GROSS INSTANCE OF INTEM. PERANCE AND NEGLECT. It would, perhaps, be difficult to discover a stronger instance of the shocking effects of habitual intemperance, than has been afforded by an inquiry instituted on Mon day and Tuesday last week, at an inquest held by A. B. Bone, Esq., Coroner of Devenport. It having come to that gentleman's knowledge, that reports were in circu lation to the effect that a pauper, named Holmes, living in the neighbourhood of Cornwall-street, had died, not precisely by foul means, but through want and - neglect, so deplorable as to be criminal, Mr. Bone, very properly issued an order for the exhumation of the body of the deceased, with a view to the investigation of the real causes of death. The remains of the deceased were accordingly disinterred, aad a post mortem exami nation having taken place, a jury was impannelled to hear the evidence adduced, and from which it appeared that the deceased was a very old man, residing in the top room of a house in Cornwall-street. On Friday, the 26th ult., a woman in a state of intoxication brought an overseer's order for medical attendance on Holmes, to the residence of Mr. J. Bennett, one of the parish surgeons. Mr. Bennett was from home on professional business at the time, but having returned about two hours afterwards, he immediately visited the patient. He found Holmes lying on a bed placed on the floor, suffering from an apopl ec ti c seizure, speechless, helpless, very much emaciated, dreadfully pale, and evidently beyond hope of recovery. There was no one present, no furniture except a chair and table, the latter of which was turned up and placed across the foot of the wretched bed to protect the unfortunate man from the draught of the door, and the room was also destitute of food, drink, and fire. Mr. Bennett made inquiries to ascertain if the man had friends, and was told that he had a wife, but she was from home. One of the inmates of the house offered to go and fetch the wife, and in a few minutes after returned with her—she was shockingly drunk. M r . B enne tt u pb ra id e d th e wre t c h e d creature for her culpable neglect; and apparently succeeded in awaking feelings of remorse, for she went down on her knees by the bed-side, spoke to the . poor sufferer in tones of affection, and manifected a desire to ameliorate his unhappy condition. Medicine and food were immediately supplied for the relief of Holmes, and Mr. Bennett regularly visited him, but it would appear that the amend ment was but transient, for the wretched husband was left alone, unwatched, unattended, and unable to help himself from the Friday until the Tuesday following, the 30th ult., when death terminated his miserable existence. The jury, after a careful investigation, returned the following verdict : " That the deceased died from apoplexy, but whether his death was caused by the gross neglect of his wife, or by na tural causes, they could not from the evidence determine." ' Another lamentable feature in connection with this case was the awfully sudden death of an old woman who was employed to perform the sad office of preparing the body of the deceased for interment. Like the old man's wife, she also was a drunk ard, and whilst occupied in the duty for which she was en gaged, she left the bed-room for the purpose of procuring a stimulant, on returning with which she fell over the stairs, broke her neck, and was laid dead by the side of the body she had a few minutes previously prepared for burial ! West 737 iton. LAW COSTS.—At the Bieester Petty-sessions, a few days since, Sarah Tombs, a poor woman of Weston-on the-Green, was charged by a looker-out on the estate of the Hon. P. Bertie, with having, when in search of nuts in a wood at Chesterton, damaged the above gentleman's property to the amount of one penny. She was ordered to pay one penny fine, and the clerk's expenses, 4s. She was allowed seven days to pay it in. At the expiration of that time she ap peared with 2s. towards the amount. This she said she had borrowed, and she hoped " the gentlemen " would not ins'st on the other 2s. being paid, for she did not know how to get it. She was told she must pay, but seven days more would be allowed her to do so. DEER-STALKING.—Lady Seymour is at Achan- Carry, enjoying the noble and healthful sport of deer.stalking. A few days ago her ladyship took down a splendid stag. Several suggestions are abroad as to the most ap propriate mode of disposing of the Hudson Testimonial F und. We feel, however, that it is a question rather for Mr. Hudson and the Committee generally than for discussion in the public prints. Besides, as yet, it is impossible to estimate the ultimate amount, which already approaches 20,000L—Sunderland Times. SUDDEN DEATH OF A LADY OF FORTUNE.—An inquest was held on Friday, at the Ship Tavern, Charing-cross, on the body of Mrs. Louisa Webster Seahouse, aged sixty-five years, a lady of fortune, lately living at the above hotel. The deceased had been residing with a relation at the hotel for nearly five years. She was exceedingly eccentric, and latterly had refused to have medical advice, although she was at times very ill. She would only allow one person to wait on her. She scarcely ever had any regular meals, but lived upon milk, arrow root, &c. On Wednesday she was attacked with violent coughing; a medical man was then called in by her attendant, but she was evidently sinking from the effects of suffocation. Tl e surgeon prescribed for her, but she died in half an hour after from a long standing disease of the lungs, which was the cause of death.—Verdict ac cordingly. The deputation from the directors of the Isle of Jersey Railway and Pier Company left the island for London this morning. —Jersey Times, Oct. 14. M.

Whipple, Esq., surgeon, of No. 14, Devonshire-terrace, Plymouth, committed suicide by hanging himself. The deceased„ 'who is aged about 17, has been in the employ of Mr. Whipple rdiout two months, was generally of a very cheerful disposition, and was greatly in favour with his master. On Sunday he went into the country, for the purpose, as he said, of visiting his father. when he had an interview with a girl named Sarah Kellan, whom he was ardently attached to, and with when, he had passed most of his boyish days. He returned . in the evening, but a particular alteration was observed in his con duct. He would frequently mention the young girl's name, and on one occasion expressed to the cook, who was also called Sarah, his fondness for that name. On Tuesday evening he was missing for some hours, the time having passed over when he usually fed his master's horses, a man named. Taylor was sent for to do that work. In getting some hay, Taylor had to pass the room in which the deceased slept, and he endeavoured to open the door. It, however, appeared to be fastened, and on his forcing it open he saw the deceased hanging from one of the beams. He immediately cut him down, and called for assistance, but the poor fellow was perfectly lifeless, and had apparently been dead some hours. On his bed was found a letter marked on the top with an A, and written on seve cal pieces of paper folded in the form of a book; it was written vet 7 imperfectly, and contained no date ; it was as follows ;—" Dear tia - rah—These few short lines corns to with my kind Love to you and', j hope you will never marry no other. So farewell to you and all brothers and sisters all I have I give to Sarah Kellen and Mr. Skepeard, Boughton, Ermington, Devon (in the name of the Lierdl• so do).

PEDME.--It is with DEATH OF THE REV. sentiments of deep respectful regret that we announce th e d ecease of one of the oldest and most esteemed of our ixens, the Rev. James D.D., senior minister of the U nited Con gregation, Bristo-street, in the if Tth year Of his age ministry. For the two last y ears . Dr . P. has been and laid 63d of his ministered aside . from Associate public duty by infirmity, but for 61 years he regularl y with unabated acceptance to one of the largest congreg ati ons this city. He took an a ctive part in conducting the affairs ofthine large religious denomination of which he was so distinguished a member, and was a most efficient supporter of all our great religious and benevolent institutions. The original powers of his mind were of a superior order, characterised by soundness, comprehensiveness, and energy; his attainments as a scholar and theologian were extensive and accurate; his character as a 'Christian was exemplary in all tile relations of life; and his conduct as a pastor so faithful and wise as to secure for him in an uncommon degree and to the end the reverence and affection of his numerous flock. He was by much the oldest of our city ministers, and with the exception of two clergymen of the Episcopal persuasion, was, we believe, the oldest minister in Scotland of any denomination. Few men have ever sustained for so long a time so high a reputation for worth and wisdom, and carried its honours so untarnished to the grave. Dr. Peddie's death took place on Saturday, f.t half-past eleven in the forenoon, at Laverock Bank House, Trinity, where for some rime he tad been residing for the benefit of his health. His funeral, we understand, is to take place on Friday, to the Edinburgh cemetery at Warriston.—Scotsrnan . The Government has at length commenced the im provement of the harbour of Harwich, for which desirable object a Parliamentary grant was made last eession. This has been promptly followed up by the formation of a Dock and Railway Company, which we observe has for Ste object the making of suitable docks at Harwich, so as to adapt that port for the tr;ffic which the ex. tension of the proposed line of railway into the centre of England, and its connexion with the great trunk lines will necessarily demand, We understand the plans for the docks are those of Mr. Walker, the engineer, whose eminent name is a sure guarantee that the wet ks will be of such a character as will ere long render Harwich from its favourable situation an important station for the mail packets, as well as a depot for our owl' manufactures as also for the imports of northern and central Europe. We cannot but congratulate the in habitants of Harwich upon the prospects , before them, nor can we pass over the advantage which must accrue to the Eastern Counties REilway Company, when they shall find what will be, in effect, one of their termini converted from a small fishing town with a ne. glected harbour, into a Government port, with Government and trading vessels, and docks to contain them.—Bailwny Times. DEATH OF THE REV. DR. BAGGS, CATHOLIC VICAR APOSTOLIC OF THE WESTERN DISTRICT.—Died, at Prior Park, on the 16th, the Right Rev. Dr. Charles Michael Baggs, Ca tholic Vicar Apostolic of this Western District. He was born in Dublin on 21st May, 1806. After studying at Rome, his virtues, talents, acquirements, and urbanity of manners, re commended him as the fittest person to succeed Dr. Wiseman in the government of the Eng'ish College there, and he proved himself a general favourite, especially with our gentry who visited that city. On the death of Bishop Baines, he was appointed his successor in this district ; but did not reach Prior Park until 30th May last year.

The South African Journal contains the following General Order:— "The Lieutenant-i4overnor and Colonel commanding on the frontier cannot permit the departure of the 27th without expressing his entire approbation of the excellent and soldier like conduct which has distinguished this corps curing its long and useful service in the eastern districts; and he re quests to express to Lieut.-Colonel Johnstone the great satis tacti,ar he derived in observing, at his recent inspection, not withstanding the disadvantages to perfect discipline by the remotely detached services in which the corps has been em ployed on this frontier, that there has been no deviation in the good system of interior economy, or in that perfect harmony and unanimity which have ever characterised the Innis killiners, and which Colenel Hare most earnestly hopes may continue uninterrupted. On such an occasion as the present of a separation, for the first time, from his distinguished corps, whose fortunes he has followed for 46 years, and whose gallantry he has proudly witnessed in every quarter of the globe, to have conspicuously added to the glories of the British army, Colonel Hare cannot but feel deep and sincere sorrow • and in giving expression to those feelings which the warmth of natural affection and the recollection of time king past forcibly produce in him, he now bids his gallant comrades and fellow-soldiers farewell, with an assnrance of his best wishes for their welfare and happiness, and an offer of his fervent prayer, should it be their lot to be again called to the field in defence of their Sovereign's honour and their country's rights, that the God of battles will continue to carry them forward to honour and to victory.

There was no opposition, aid the interim order was granted without the insolvent being examined. OBBARD AND OTHERS V. RUDD. This defendant who had carried on business as a plumber and glazier, at Beckenham place, Denmark-hill, attended on a summons obtained at the suit of the plaintiff's, who are glass merchants, to show cause why he had not paid the sum of 101. due from him. The plaintiff's solicitor said that he had no doubt the Learned Commissioner would consider this a case in which the power of commitment should be exercised. The facts were, that the defendant had attended before a Judge at Chambers, and admitted the justice of the plaintiffs' demand, but shortly afterwards he assigned over the whole of his pro perty to his son. The Learned COMMISSIONER said if that was proved. it was unquestionably a gross fraud. The defendant having been sworn, admitted that he bad made the assignment for money previously advanced by his son. The property was worth 701. or 807. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that it was a very flagrant case that a man having property to such an amount should snake away with it after he had admitted there was a justl claim against him. He would therefore be committed for forty days to the county prison. The defendant entreated to be allowed to make terms with the plaintiffs, The plaintiff's solicitor said they were not disposed to in terfere with the course of the law. The Learned COMMISSIONER said the insolventhad acted with great dishonesty, and he ought to be made an ex ample of. The defendant was immediately taken into custody by one of the messengers. PALACE COURT.--FRIDAY. (Before Mr. W. BRENT BRENT.) BROWN V. DENVIL. The defendant in this case, against whom a verdict was given on the last court day, appeared under a summons granted under the Small Debts Act, to show cause why the amount of the debts and costs should not be paid by instal ments. The debt was 101. money, deposited by the plaintiff as a check-taker with the defendant, as ee of the Pavilion Theatre, and the costs were 61. 9s. 10d. The defendant was examined now on his oath. It appeared that Mr. Denvil, who is an actor of some re putation, became lessee of the Pavilion Theatre, u ithout, as he admitt. d, any capital, and was suddenly obliged to quit possession. He, however, paid all his performers, and should have returned the deposit made with him by Brown, but for non-employment, sickness, and a large family entirely de pendent upon him for support. He was now fulfilling an en gagement at Astley's Theatre, which was to continue for only three weeks longer; his salary was 41. a week. An application was made on the part of the plaintiff for an order on the defendant to pay IL a week. The defendant, with some excitement, said it was an utter impossibilily. He had to pay 21. a week to creditors, and to support ten in family out of the other 21. At present he could pay no portion of the debt. He entered into an ex planation of his connexion with the Pavilion Theatre, and his subsequent struggles to pay all his creditors without taking the benefit of the Act. It was only on Saturday that his wife was confined; and how, he asked, could he pay any money at the present time? The Learned JUDGE feasoned with the defendant, telling him that he could pay the plaintiff, who had deposited money with him, at 10s. a week. The defendant declared that he could do no such thing. People must eat, and be had ten in family to support. The aw would not order a man to act without eating, and out of the 21. remaining, after paying the sum he had agreed to other persons, how could he afford to pay any part? The matter was discussed at some length, and the case of the plaintiff urged as a person who required the money to pay a doctor's bill. It was offered that, if an order was made on the defendant to pay 10s. a week while he was in an engagement, no application would be made for his com mitment. He said he could not pay it, " and his carcase must be had, he supposed, for the money." The COURT made an order for 102. a week, the first pay ment not to be made till Monday week. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-ROUSE. An elderly woman, in the attire of the Society of Friends, was brought before the Lord Mayor by Horsford, one of the officers of the Mendicity Society, on the charge of having gone the rounds on the begging letter and petition system. She stated her name to be Mary Cattell, and that she was one of the sect to which she appeared to belong. The officer of the society stated that he had followed the defendant, who went from house to house with a red-book in her hand, and appealed to the owners for the exercise of ever so small a mite of humanity. Her appearance was ex tremely serviceable to the object upon which she professed to pay her visits, and even amongst those who were evidently hard pushed to support their families she raised from Id. to 6d. a head. She represented that she laboured to release a person from prison who had been confined there for a length of time; and it was realty difficult to resist her supplication for she accommodated herself to the very lowest capacity of pocket. After having witnessed for some time the unwearied perseverance of the defendant, he told her he wanted her and her red-book and her papers, and, after such a struvgle as her little strength permitted, she resigned them to his hands. In her pock t were 7s. 6d. in silver, some halfpence, and a 201. Bank of England note, which appeared to have just ar rived from that establishment. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, defendant, where did you get this 201. note? Defendant—l got it at the Bank of England. The LORD MAYOR—A dividend, I suppose? The de fendant—Not at all. I got it for silver. • The LORD MAYoR—Oh, you got it for the money you raised by going round for charity. The defendant— I don't want to deny anything. I have been seeking assistance to release my brother from captivity in the Queen's Prison, where he has been confined five or six years. I am not ashamed of the manner in which I have been engaged, con sidering the motive. Horsford said, the old lady had about her several peti tions, which had been worn into au almost illegible con dition. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, defendant, you have been suc cessful in your applications, as the 20/.-note testifies. The defendant —But the 201. will not accomplish the object I have in view. The meeting-houses about town have copies of the petition, and will, I have no doubt, assist me. The contest in which my brother is engaged is a law contest, and it would be difficult to point out any way of getting the better of it without money. To obtain such aid, Ido not hesitate to go from door to door, and to solicit the smallest benevolence. The LORD MAYOR directed that the defendant should be taken care of until inquiries be made into the foundation of her defence. A man whose name was, according to his own statement, Robert Wilkinson, was brought up in the custody of a po liceman, charged with having attempted by a letter forged in the name of the Rev. Baptist -Noel to impose upon Mr. Gurney Barclay, the banker of Lombard-street. The letter was presented by the prisoner, who was imme diately given into custody. It recommended the bearer as an object meriting the consideration of the charitable, and subsequently there came into the hands of Mr. Barclay, a list of sub-cribers for the aid of the party named in the letter. Horsford, the Mendicity Society's officer, who upon seeing the prisoner remained in the justice -room to hear the case, here declared that Mr. Wilkinson's real name was John William Dennison, and that a more resolute impostor could not be found in all London. The prisoner said, the mendicity officer was wrong in saying.that his name was John William Dennison. It was no such thing. It was William John Dennison.—(Laughter.) He wished-helactinoney to pay for a defence, and he would soon silence the offic(r. Horsford—My Lord, he has.been an impostor of the most active and detern-ired character for years about town; he has been committed frequently from several police-offices. The priscusr—Don't believe him, my Lord. Men of this description are strangely given to lying.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—He says that he has known you to be a hardened impostor, and to have been committed several times. Tae prisoner --Whatever might have taken place before has nothing to do with the present charge, Why should it? The LORD MAYOR—You may find that it has. He may produce-such a thing a 3 evidence of your conviction upon a former occasion, and that may have something particular to do with the present charge. Horsford—My Lord, I-ti has been convicted at that bar. A woman who lives with him and assists him in this way of living has been committed, together with her son, a clever boy, whom they have brought up to practices of the same kind. The prisoner —The boy was not committed, for I took upon me the offence with which he was charged. and the fact is, I was committed at that bar; and so you see you are wrong again.—(Laughter.) Horsford—You were all three committed. The prisoner —I had three months, but I took the offence upon melf. The LORD MAYOR.-.. 1 shall remand the prisoner, in order to give the society time to make further inquiry and Wing forward more evidence. GUILDHALL. Daniel Garrett, who has been examined on various charges of stealing portmanteaus from the Great Western, the Son' h-Western, and Birmingham Railways, was re-ex amined before Mr. Alderman H. Hughes. Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Humphreys, and Mr. Nash appeared as before on behalf of the railways, and Mr. Thwaites for the prisoner Mr. Bedingfield deposed that he is a commercial traveller, and was a passenger to London, on reaching which he missed his leather case. His memorandums and pocket-book were afterivards returned anonymously through the Parcels' Deli very Company. He identified a blouse, a stock, and some other. articles which were found at the prisoner's lodging, and also the leather case produceOgy Collard, the superintendent of the Great Western Railway police. Collard stated that he received this case from Mr. Beattie, a pawnbroker. Mr Beattie deposed that he' is one of the firm of Notley and Beattie, of Portman-street, He bought the case from the prisoner about the latter end of August. He asked half a guinea for it, and witness bought it for his own use. He bad known the prisoner above a year previously, and had purchased other things from him, which were now in the care of Collard. Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES asked under what circumstances these had found their way to the officer? Had the latter traced where they were? Mr. Beattie said that upon seeing Garratt was in custody he wrote to the officer, and showed him what articles he had had from the prisoner. Mr. Alderman 11. HUGHES wished all persons in Mr. Beattie's trade were equally ready to assist in furthering the ends of justice. The evidence was then read, and the prisoner was com mitted on the charge. Mr. Clarkson then made an addition to the evidence in the case of Mr. Webb, a merchant at Huddersfield, whose port manteau was stolen in July on the Birmingham line, as has been already detailed. Mr. Webb identified a gold pencil-case as part of the contents of his portmanteau. Mr. Beattie deposed that he purchased this from the pri soner on the 9th of September. He gave him 11. fur that and an eye-glass. Mr. Clarkson asked him if he did not call that a great bar gain ? Mr. I3eattie did not know that it was particularly so. Mr. Webb also identified three pairs of trousers, which were found at the prisoner's lodgings. The prisoner was committed on this charge, and remanded on another until Friday next. MARYLEBONR. Frances Westbury, a laundress, was brought up for re-ex amination on a charge of illegally pawning upwards of 401. worth of linen and other ,trtiole'_: of dress intrusted to her to wash..,..

The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this Company was held on Wednesday, at the Clarendon Rooms, Liverpool, Mr. W. Jackson, Chairman of the Board of Directors, pre siding. The report was as follows :—" The Directors, pursu ing that course which has before been approved by the pro prietors, namely, to extend public accommodation to the utmost reasonable limit, and to invite the traffic of the great lines of the country by securing to them liberal terms and abundant convenience, have concluded an arrangement with the Grand Junction Railway Company, the terms of which accord with the principle announced. Without detailing minutely the terms which have been settled, it may at present be stated that the Grand Junction will run all through trains to and from Birkenhead, taking, at the same time, all local and through traffic which may be offered on the Birkenhead line; and whilst the Grand Junction must run as many trains to and from Birkenhead as they do from Chester, this Company will continue to work as many trains as the Directors please for local traffic. Fares and freights will be adjusted on a basis beneficial for both companies, and the cost of working Grand Junction trains over the Birkenhead line will be settled 'at a fixed -rate not' exceeding Waal cost.' Al proportion of all terminal expenses not exceeding actual cost for goods traffic will be paid by a fixed rate. A joint station will be formed at Chester, and this Company -will afford to the Grand 'Junction, and any other Company whose traffic is brought years. Grand m This Junction conceived in a arrangement,upon the Birkenhead line , adequate station accommodation at Birkenhead, at a rent of six per cent. upon the cost. The Company is to continue f a o g r r agreement enwith least t seven the 3 spirit of friendly alliance, involves, n eces sarily, terms by which all future hostility between the two Companies may b e avoided. The Directors have thus developed the principle upon which they are prepared to receive upon their lin e the traffic of other railways which their arrangement with the Grand Junction does not prevent them from doing. They have now to submit to the proprietors the measures which they have projected for their sanction. 1. An improve ment in the access to Monck's Ferry, by an additional tunnel and an enlargement of the station accommodation at the ter minus. 2. An enlargement of the station accommodation at Grange-lane and Chester, as well as at Hooton. 3. Widen ing the whole length of the railway from Birkenhead to Chester, sufficient for the broad gauge, if required. 4. A branch railway from Hooton to the Queen's Felt'', to accom modate all the Welsh traffic. 5. A branch railway from Hooton to Neston and Parkgate. 6. A railway from 6range lane to New Brighton and Holylake. The cost, as far as an approximate estimate will enable the Directors to state it, will be about 950,000/. for all these measures. The first, second, and third measures are intended to meet the demands of a largely increased traffic; the fourth, fifth, and sixth are for local accommodation." The report was adopted. MANCHESTER, HUDDERSFIELD, GRIMSBY RAILWAY. AND GREAT A general meeting of the Provisional Committee of this line took place at the Guildhall, Huddersfield, on Thursday, which was numerously attended. The CHAIRMAN (John Sutcliffe, Esq.) in a forcible speech setting forth the advantages of the proposed line of railway, (the objects of which are to complete a direct chain of com munication between the eastern and western coasts, and by means of other lines to pass through the town of Doncaster. forming one grand trunk line from Liverpool to Great Grimsby), moved that the engineer's report be now read and, after some discussion as to the mode of appoint.. ing the Executive Committee, the report was adopted. The report stated that no engineering difficulties existed, and that the tunnel under the Trent at Batterwick could be made without difficulty. (An announcement received by the company with great applause.) pt further stated that expe rienced contractors were ready to undertakethe works at con siderably less than the proposed estimate. The report having been unanimously adopted, a long and desultory conversation ensued as to the practicability of tun neling under the Trent. The speakers were Sir John Key, of London, the Mayor of Doncaster, and Aldermen Bitley, E. L He.sp. Esq., Sidney Moorhouse, Esq., C. Lockwood, Esq., to whom the answer of Mr. Billinton, the engineer to the cooi pany, was declared to be perfectly satisfactory, the latter de claring that he intended to make at once a three feet drift or man-hole," tunnel under the Trent, to set the question at rest, and expressed his conviction of being enabled to take to Parliament with him some bricks made of the clay from the excavation. An unanimous vote of confidence in the plans of the engi neer was passed, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting separated. DARING AND EXTENSIVE CARRIAGE ROBBERY or JEWELS AND PLATE.—On Friday morning information was re.. ceived at the principal metropolitan police-office, in Great Scot land.yard, of a most daring and extensive robbery of a quantity of plate and jewels having been committed by some adroit and expert thieves, in Little James-street, Gray's Inn - lane , amounting to between 4001. and 500/., which was immediately forwarded to all the othe r po li ce s t a ti ons th roug hout the metropolis.
