M TUESDAY.—We have to report a spiritless market, in which there has been a small general bias of prices in favour of the buyers, or, where this has not been the case, a somewhat greater facility at least in buying an the previous terms. In warps below 24's, and also in pin-cops, there is a'decline of fully -id. per lb. from the highest rates of last Tues day. Many orders for these have now run out, or are near their termination, and fresh ones cannot be obtained without conceding something of the late advance, which, to a large extent, was merely nominal. The lower counts of water, in the bundle, and also No. 20's, have lost ; id. per lb ; as have also mule from 30's downward. No. 30's reeled water twist is steady, but the buyer, not requiring imme diite delivery, is not quite so limited in his choice as he has been for some time back. Much the same ob servation is applicable to 24's and 28's warpe. In the goods department it is found that domestics are steady ; while in long cloth 3, T cloths, printer and shirtings, the seller cannot do so well in regard to price, as he did last week, or at least experiences greater difficulty in selling. Bnt althoug the market is as we hare described it, there is no apprehension of much change for the worse in price. Great confidence is felt in the continuance of a good home trade ; and the present backward movement is regarded as no nothing more than what is necessary in order lo a renewed demand. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have little change to report in the flannel market to-day, either in price or demand. This is the time of the year when the ma nufacturers are generally busiest ; but all is very quiet, and the country orders are very limited. The wool market has been flat, and prices were about sta tionary. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The demand for goods remains without alteration. Prices are steady, and pro duction is going on satisfactorily, considering the ad vanced period of the season. In the meantime pre parations for the spring are beginning to accupy the attention cf our manufacturers. The thrown silk market remains as about reported fur the last mo n th. It may, ho we v e r, be assumed that prices are more in favour of purchasers, in consequence of the draggin g state of the demand. In raw silks but little is doing, occasional offers are made at prices compatible with those of thrown, but hitherto without resulting in much business, merchants choosing rather to hold. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—We cannot report any noticeable variation in the aspect of the worsted trade, width is still in a very inanimate state. There is no sign of improvement in yarns, and the quantity of machinery thrown cut of employment continues to increase. The sales of long wool are limited, and the quotations remain unaltered. Short wool is firm, on account of the shortness of the supply. HUDDERCFIELD, TUESDAY.--The market to-day has again been dull, no sales of jail ortance have been effected; indeed th 3 attendance of buyers ihas been slack. A little more business has been done in plaids and the thicker woollens for the winter season. There has been scarcely anything done in the wool market. NEW REFORM OF PARLIAMENT. (From the Leeds Mercury.) The preposition will no doubt be made that the suf frage should be universal, or at ieast should be ex tended to all householders. tVe heartily wish that, by any reasonable stretch of charity, we could suppose the lowest class of householders to be generally qualified to use cue franchise, wit. au,../it.go, either to them selves or the community. Our principle would be to include all of whom such a hope could he fairly en tertained, and we would rather admit too many than toe few, because knowledge is extending down ward?, and there would be no danger from a slight excess of liberality. But we fear there is still a considerable proportion of the labouring class so entirely destitute of political knowledge, and even of any taste for public matters, so indifferent to religion and its ob servances, so low in their habits, so near the verge of pauperism, so hand•to-mouth in their living, so shift less yet ever shifting, that they must necesearily form a deterioeting element in an electoral body, and even an element of danger. Por men who are not intel lectually and morally qualified to use the franchise would in all probability abuse it. Not knowing the value of the privilege, they would be ready to sell it for money or beer ; in many cases they would im plicitly do the bidding of employers or parish over seers ; and all such tools would just neutralize the votes of so many independent and intelligent electors. There is also the danger of ignorant men becoming the dupes of political charlatans, possibly in some serious nati ona l emergency. We are sure no society of working men would allow their decisions to be overruled by men swept out of the streets and ale houses; and t o i ntroduce such men to the exercise of the Parliamentary franchise would discredit the honest and thinking operatives, corrupt our consti tuencies, a n d emperil our legislation, without doing the slightest good to the individuals themselves. Our desire, therefore, would be to admit the steady and respectable part of the working classes to the fran chise, but to exc l u d e the hand-to-mouth class, until theirimproved habits give some reasonable assurances to society that they would use the franchise well. Now if " every occupier of a tenement or portion of a tenement" were admitted to the franchise, as is proposed by the "National Parliamentary Reform Association," a very large part of the hand-to-mouth class would be included. There should, therefore, in our judgment, be some restriction—either a certain length of residence in the same borough, or the bonds fide payment of rates by the occupiers themselves, or a certain amount of rent, or some other test adapted to sift off those who are not fit for the suffrage. Without this, the representation of the people and our legislation might be seriously damaged, and the elec toral bodies might be terribly corrupted. The extent of the franchise is the grand point in any change of the representative system, and we hope it will be considered by all classes in a calm, tempe rate, and conciliatory spirit, so as to unite Reformers as far as possible, and to stimulat e Mi n i s t ers t o a large and good m easure, without di s h e a r t en i ng th em or throwing difficulties in their way by excessive demands. The "more equal app ort i onment cf representatives to population" will b e one of the n,ost difficult and delicate points for th e cons i deration of the Ministry, of Parliament, and of the public. There are on the face of the present system very gross inequalities_ such, for example, as boroughs like Westminster, the Tower Hamlets, Manchester, and Liverpool, with from 200,000 to 350,000 inhabitants each, returning only the same number of representatives as boroughs like Buckingham, with less than 4,000, and Ayles bury, Andover, Bridport, Dartmouth, &c., with popu lations below 5,000. It i s very natural to wish that such inequalities should be rectified ; and we should be glad if they could be, without introducing more serious evils. But in the first place, we do not think a mere proportion of Members to population would so well represent all the classes and interests of the nation, as; a system which admitted a number of smaller constituencies. Next, we should be very sorry to see London, with its population o '2,400,000, rEturning one-eleventh of all the Mena f bars of the D ouse of Comm„,, namely, about 60, out of 658. With such a b o dy o f representatives, all of them resident at the seat of Government, London would have much more power than is for the good of the nation at large. But the . chief evil to be appre bended from adoptingthe,lVciple of mere numerical proportion w ou ld he, oaa great towns, the borough spite of London . and the nopulatipn would be swamped by the agricultural English Constitution has from )I.loepulation.. Now the first t give n a much greater number of representatives than to the countiea dispropo'rtiono ht4'' boroughs ever, very. cv*tehof tendon materially crunterhalanced by the intluAsi b2present proprietors in the smaller boroughs, time the number of county Members is col of borough Member. , 405 —Riving Il largt, sYsor3io, r a t i l b t d y to the boroughs. Nov tho population liuin'g country and in small towns and villages, all directie' or indirectly under the iefluence of the proprietore cf the land, very far outnumbers the town population — we believe, at leas, in the proportion cf 2 to 1. Therefore the adoption of tiaQ principles of mere numerical proportion might, and we firmly believe would, completely shitt the balance of the Constitu tion—would swamp the manufecturing and com mercial interest by the agricultural, and the demo cratic by the aristocratic. This is a point of immense importance, and it will require to be vary judiciously dealt with ; for there can be no doubt that, generally speaking, the boroughs represent the spirit of libe- SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1, 1851. THE rality and of progress, and the counties represent the spirit of conservatism. - There are other points of the great Reform ques tion, on which, however, we cannot dwell at present. We apprehend there would be a pretty general opinion in favour of the abolition of the Property Qualification, as a useless and wrong restriction on the choice of the electors. On the duration of Par liaments, opinions would probably fluctuate between three and five years. A vast majority of Reformers would advocate the Ballot, as a defence for electoral independence and honesty against intimidation and bribery. All these points will be much discussed— let us hope in a friendly and temperate spirit. The object to be kept in view is neither personal nor class aggrandizement, but the fairest, purest, and best re presentation of a great people. TEE DERBYSHIRE MARBLES AND SPARS IN THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The Derbyshire marble is not well represented in Class 1., the specimens merely consisting of a few black pieces unpolished, but prepared for the operation of the turner and his lathe. The mountain limestone of Der byshire, it is well known, contains some beautiful varieties chiefly of black and encrinital marbles, which give employment to a great meny persons in the neigh bourhood who convert them into ornamental articles. Amongst the mineral manufactures in Class XXVII. are many beautiful specimens of the Derbyshire marbles manufactured into tables, chimney-pieces, clocks, ink stands, vases, j ars, candlesticks, card-cases, paper- weights, card-baskets, inlaid chess- boards, mosaics, models of obelisks, and pyramids, &c. &e. See Nos. 37, 38, 40, 76, and from 79 to 83, in Class XXVII. for Derbyshire marble worked up into these various articles. The Derbyshire a l a b aster or gypsum is procured from fissures in the mountain limestone (see specimens in No. 14 . 6, Class I.) The f amous D erbyshire fluor spar, or fluoride of calcium, is a beautiful and interesting mineral also found in the mountain limestone associated with baryta, calc spar, and the ores of lead and zinc. The colours vary from amethystine to violet blue, with many beautiful shades of bluish and yellowish green ; and Professor A nste d states that other colours may be arti ficially pr o d uce d by heat and by sulphuric acid. Nos. 37, 38, and 40, in Class XXVII. contain many very beautiful articles manufactured from the fluor spar.— Builder. THE ANGLO—SAXON RACE. (From the Revue des Deux blondes.) Of all the races which at this day occupy the scene of the world the most active, and that which possesses the greatest weight and influence, is unquestionably the Anglo-S axon race. Other nations may be more noisy and brilliant than England and the United States—they may exhibit more external glory—hut not one, ,f looked at closely, can be considered so necessary as both these people. The Anglo-Saxon race is one o f th e mostim portant spring.; of the great political machine of the uni verse; without it it would perish, or be abandoned to the contempt of the future some of the most important facts of history, and some of those moral notions which are most essential to humanity. Without England and America Protestantism would exist no longer. Had Protestantism no other support than that of Germany, we would see it now expiring in delirium and in blas phemy amidst the laughter of other nations. Without the example afforded by England the French revolution would not only be anathematised, but abandoned as without reason and full of incoherent extravagances. Had it not been for England, America would on its discovery have fallen bank into the barbarism in which a Spanish vessel found it. It is owing to England that the glorious discovery of Columbus has not proved useless, and counts for a great human fact, and for a service rendered to moral order, and not merely a discovery interesting to science and cosmology. It is England who at this day prevents nations from falling upon and devouring one another, and who maintains the equili brium of the Continent by the fear of having to measure strength with so redoubtable an adversary. Thus her very egotism is useful, for it protects cur repose. It is her who crosses the projects of Oriental Europe, and says to the two Sclavi races—" Thus far shall ye go and no further." What a destiny ! Her form and power are absolutely necessary to the moral order of the world. Let us lay aside all naienal prejudice and patriotic pride ; many n a ti ons o f apparently more importance might disappear, and which seem to be more immedi ately interested in the maintenance of modern civiliza tion, but there is not one whose death would leave such terrible results as that of the solitary, the egotistical, and independent England. SITTINGS 05' THE NEW COURT OF APPEAL.--The new Court of Appeal in Chancery will not sit before Michael_ mas term. The judges are styled in the new Act " Lord Justices." One judge sitting with the Lord Chancellor, or both judges sitting apart from him, to form the Court of Ap peal. The Lord Chancellor sitting alone is to have co-ordi nate jurisdiction with the Court of Appeal. THE LONDON GAZETTE, Sept. 30. FOREIGN-OFFICE, AUG. 29, 1851.

Williams, Ashford, Kent, contractor, Oct. 22, at twelve. the 12th inst. the prosecutor, 162 H, was on duty in Brick-lane, Spitalfields, and that on passing the end of a court in Glasshouse-street the prisoner, who was standing there, struck him, and then, picking up a brick, threw it at him, but fortunately missed bis object, and the brick having broken on its fall to the ground the prisoner picked up one of the halves and was about to strike the prosecutor with it, when that person ran up and at once took him into custody; but the prisoner appears to have made up his mind that if taken his opponent should have a hard fight for it, and so a desperate struggle en sued. In the progress of this struggle the prosecu tor's truncheon came out of his pocket, and therefore, as soon as the prisoner had succeeded in partially re leasing himself from the officer, he contrived to seize the truncheon with which he commenced a fearful attack upon its owner. The prisoner having, to a certain extent, disabled the officer, effected his escape, and the constable had been from that morning under the medical treatment of the surgeon to the 11 division of the police force, and had not as yet been able to re sume his duties. It further appeared that the prisoner after his escape from the prosecutor had accompanied a woman to a brothel in Brick-lane, and that while there he produced the truncheon, and boasted that he w-Aawgr expenses ixtv a e i epl d e s had been in a row with a policeman. It was stated by the prosecutor, that during the earlier part of the struggle the prisoner had threatened to put three inches of steel into his body. Mr. WITHAM having summed up the evidence, The jury at once returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. WITHAM thereupon sentenced the prisoner to e h l3 nt lehbisvrneeiforshaabt thatti d hhti re w ectetroh a h:n t :c e bsapna r e aoe . plti at u. child,e consequent ntenHyt six months' imprisonment with hard labour. n r Mary Ann _Keough, aged 30, was indicted, charged with having committed an assault, and with having beaten William fnanas td.thhseettthrrhhhe.eaeae : dt In this case the prosecutor is a surgeon, practising iwbwn deniedewhole eso C n service, t a e btnhe Cannon-street-road, that some years since the prisoner had been in his yh e a o a n fudh now intimacy wpadoanhii :e t h a n t tth e hho d eeet had sprung up between them, the result of which had mother's confinement, and had subsequently made a provision for the child. The mother, unhappily, gave way to intemperate habits, and having been accused of having abandoned and deserted another child which she had had, be had deemed it a prudent act in refer ence to his own child to take it from her care and place it out at nurse. Subsequently to this proceed ing, in consequence of the annoyances he had received from the defendant, ho had, under advice, placed the child in the workhouse. The child was now three years of age. About two years ago the defendant assaulted him, and for that violence she had been committed, but he had on that occasion abstained from prosecuting, with the hope that the mere committal would act as a salutary warning to her. The example, however, had failed in its effect, and he had therefore been made the sub ject of the woman's annoyance at least fifteen or sixteen times since that committal. On these occa sions the defendant had threatened that she would "do" for him. Upon the 19th of the present month he went out, but had not proceeded above 100 yards before the defendant caught hold of him by the collar and struck him several severe blows on the chest and shoulders. Not approving of this proceeding the prosecutor returned home, whither he was followed by the defendant and the mob her conduct collected. The defendant and the mob remained in the front of his house, creating a great disturbance, for nearly two hours, and this was not discontinued until he had called in the aid of a policeman, to whom he was com pelled to give the defendant in custody. She was in due course taken before the magistrate at the Thames Police Court, and by the advice of that learned gentleman it was that this indictment had been pre ferred. The defendant now urged that she had not been permitted to see her child since it had Leen taken from her care, and that she had heard that it had become emaciated, and was, in fact, reduced to a perfect shadow in bodily appearance. She added that the prosecutor was spiteful to her because the child's nurse had summoned him for money due for the nursing. The prosecutor admitted that he had been sum moned, but explained that the nurse had not been paid in consequence of some misunderstanding. The whole of the claim had since been paid. In reference to the defendant's statement as to the present condi tion of the child, that was utterly untrue ; for having heard the reports which the defendant had put into circulation on the subject, he had made regular in quiries as to the condition of the child, and the replies had been most satisfactory. If, therefore, the defen dant's assertion as to the emaciated state of the child had been true he should have ascertained the fact, and, of course, would then have adopted steps for its recovery. WyrlrAm then left the case to The jury, who returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. WITH AM said, the Court were not desirous of dealing harshly or oppressively with the defendant. It was necessary, however, that the peace should be preserved. At the same time, it was not to he endured that the prosecutor should be made the object of con stant annoyance at the will and pleasure of the de fendant. With the view, then, of compelling her to maintain the peace the Court would order the defen dant to enter into her own recognisances i❑ the sum of 201. to come up for judgment when called on. The defendant therefore must clearly understand that, if she repeated her system of annoyance of the prosecutor she would be called up for judgment, when her reward would be an imprisonment for six months. The defendant having entered into the required re cognisances was then liberated. Margaret Emma Simpson, a respectable-looking woman, who had pleaded guilty at the last sittings of the sessions at Westminster to an indictment charging her with having stolen a gold ring set with brilliants, of the value of 201., from the shop of Mr. Waylett, 233, Oxford-street, now came up for judgment. The prisoner, after she had pleaded, stated that she enjoyed an independency of 601. per annum, arising from landed property; that she had an account at Coutts', and that she had two sisters in Edinburgh who were in affluent circumstances. Upon this statement the prisoner was remanded for the purpose of inquiring as to the truth of her state ments. She refused, however, to afford any further information to the officers, so that they were unable to test the truth of her assertions. With regard to her statement that she had an account at Coutts', that proved to be untrue, for the answer to the inquiry at that establishment was, that such a person was " not known" there. _ _ Mr. NI , ITHAM now sentenced her to imprisonment for six months and hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 80117-STREET. Levi Langley, a youth employed as pot-boy at the White Hart public-house, C4stle-street, Long acre, who had been charged on suspicion of stealing 321., was brought up for examination. The landlord, Mr. G. Williamson, had secreted the money (consisting of two cheques, a 51. note, and four sovereigns) behind some bottles. One day last week the bag was missing, and as no one had access to the key of the cellar except the prisoner, he was at once suspected and given into custody. le was ex amined at Bow-street on Saturday, and it was sug gested that the boy must have watched his master at the time he was secreting the mone as in no other way could the robbery be accounted y, for. The pri soner persisted in his entire innocence of the charge, but he was remanded till yesterday. In the mean time Sergeant Thompson, one of the most useful officers in the F division, was employed to investigate the matter. Having been directed to the spot where the money was deposited, he commenced searching the shelves and bins in that portion of the cellar, and soon discovered traces of the bag and cheques, which had been dragged away and mangled by the rats. Same of the fragments had been scattered about, and a sovereign had been carried to a considerable dis tance, but the whole of the property was fortunately discovered. Mr. JARDINE, after examining the cheques, &c.' remarked upon the singularity of the case, and ordered the pris oner t o b e di sc h arge d. filli n g the office of till cashier i n th e esta bli s h ment o f MARLBOROUGH-STREET. of who Oxfo rd-street, tr James G eorge S pencer , a young man of very re spectable connex i ons, an d Mr. Burton, furnish ing ironmonger was charged with having robbed his employer to a considerable extent. prisoner, Th eprotested his innocence, Was Ors e e t , remanded fora week. MARY LEBIVE. One o f the officers attached D to the court brought up a woman named Anne Davis, who for some time past has cohabited with a stone-mason at 6, hloly neux-street, Li sson-grove, for cruel treatment of one of her c hild ren, a little girl, by burning her with a red-hot p o k er . The defendant, who carried in her arms an infant, seemed to b e a b out 40 years of age; she was very respectably atti re d , and her countenance certa i nly did not betoken a cruel disposition. The sufferer, a si c kl y l oo ki ng c hild, w as led i n b y a young w oman who had taken a very praiseworthy interest in the di s t ress i ng affair. Mr. LONG read the warrant to defendant, which set forth the nature of the charge of cruelty against her, when Defendant eagerly and imploringly said, " I did it in the heat of passion." The poor child, Ellen Davis, having replied satis factorily to questions put to her by the worthy magis trate as to the nature and allegation of an oath, was then sworn, and she deposed as follows :—I am eight years and a half old. The defendant is my mother. Yesterday fortnight my sister gave me some cocoa to drink, and because I took it at her bidding my mother scolded me and burnt me on my bottom with a red bet poker ; after that she made me take off and wash my clothes; before I did so, and while I was quite naked, she beat me with a cane, and wealed me, and also kept pinching me. Mr. LONG-At what hour was it she burnt you with the poker ? Child—At six in the evening, and at about seven she tied me tightly to the bad-post with a rope round my waist. When my father (the man living with defendant) came home she loosed me for a time, and then tied me up again, so that I was obliged to lay upon the floor under the bed all night. My legs were tied together in the first instance, and so were my hands, but my hands were loosed when my father returned. I was secured tightly to the bed-post the whole of the next day by cords, my legs, but not my arms, being then confined. Mr. Fell (the chief clerk)—Were you supplied with any food during the time you were tied up as you have stated ? Child—Yes, Sir, a little. On Tuesday morning my mother gave me some milk and water and a little dry bread for my breakfast. I bad the same for dinner. Mr. LONG—When were you untied ? Child—On Wednesday morning. Mr. LONG—Who then untied you ? Child—My mother. Mr. LONG—When did you first tell anybody about what had happened to you ? Child—On the next Friday, when I left the house and went to Kew to my grandfather and aunt, who live there. (It was here stated that the parties she alluded to were no re lations, but that, as she had formerly been• at nurse with them, she had been in the constant habit of speaking of them by ;.:_a appellations named.) ➢lr. LONG—How did you get to Kew, my little girl ? Child—l was taken there on the top of an omnibus. Mr. LONG—Has any doctor attended you for the injury you have received? Child—No, Sir. Mr. LONG—Can you now sit withuut pain ? Child —Oh no, I cannot. ➢lr. LONG (to defendant)—Do you wish to ask this child any questions Defendant (to her daughter)—llow many times have you run away ? Child— S::!veral times, mother. Defendant—And why have you done so ? Child —Because you threatened to give me a good hiding. Prisoner—l have always treated you as well as I have the rest of my children. Mr. LONG—Then if you have done so, you must, according to what has appeared before me, have used all your children most cruelly. Mr. Fell—You don't beat them all with a red-hot poker, do you ? Defendant made no answer to this question. Emma Gibson was the next witness—l live at 4, Bryanstou-place. On Saturday morning last, in consequence of something which I had heard from my brother, I went to the defendant, and asked her if she had heard anything of her child, when she said she had not, and that she should not trouble herself to look after her any more. I told her I thought she had better go to the workhouse to see if she WAS there, as it was such a wet night, when she said she would not do anything of the sort, and she should be glad if the child was out in the wet and lying under a hedge. She told me that she had given her a good beating with a stick and burnt her bottom with a poker, which she had taken red-hot from the fire. She did not consider it would have been any sin to have " put away with it" if nothing bad been found out respecting it. On Sunday I went to Kew and examined the child's person, when I found upon the right side of her posteriors the marks of a burn, as if caused by a red-hot poker, as described ; it was as broad as three of my fingers and as long as my hand ; it was very sore and inflamed, and is so at the pre sent time. The poor child cannot yet sit without ex periencing much pain. Mr. LONG, after making some suitably strong and feeling remarks upon the flagrant nature of the offence, remanded the defendant till Thursday (to-morrow), upon which day the depositions, which will be then completed, will be read over formally by Mr. Fell, and the accused will then be committed to take her trial. At 5 o'clock the was conveyed away in the Govern ment van to the House of Detention, Clerkenwell. WORSHIP-STREET. Margaret Willis and Eleanor Shannon, two women of notorious character, were charged with decoying three boys into a house of ill-fame for the purposes of robbery. William Miles, 13 years of age, the son of a me chanic in Spring-gardens, Mile-end New-town, s'a'ed, that while passing through Brick-lane, Spital fields on the preceding evening, in the company of two other boys of much the same age, they were stopped by the women at the bar, who addressed them in dis gusting language and tried to induce them to accom pany them home to their lodgings. They all of them refused to do so, and were hurrying away to escape from them, when the prisoner Willis suddenly snatched his cap off his head, and ran with it into one of the houses in an adjoining court. He followed her into the pas sage, and entreated her to return him his cap, and she promised that she would do so if his two friendecame and asked her for it also. lie accordingly returned to the other boys and persuaded them to go with him, and all of them went into one of the parlouri, which the prisoner Willis had entered ; but the moment they got into the room the prisoner shut and locked the door, and then, turning sharply upon them, exclaimed in a menacing manner, " Now, if you don't show me all the money you've got you don't go safe out of this place." They were all very much frightened, and the witness pulled out of his pocket all the money he had, consisting only of sixpence in silver and some halfpence, and the instant the prisoner saw it she seized him by the arm and violently forced it out of his hand. She then robbed the second boy of all the money he had in a similar manner, but, en finding that she could not get any from the third youth, as he had no money about him, she grasped hold of the poker, and, opening the room door, told them that unless they instantly left the house and went quietly out of the neighbourhood it would be the worse for them, as she would dash their brains out. They were too glad of the chance of escape to make any disturbance, and all three hurried out of the house together, but on turning into a neighbour ing street, encountered a policeman, to whom they related the way in which they had been robbed, and the officer having gone back with them to the house, took into custody both prisoners, whom witness at once pointed out to him. George Eason, 15, and George West, about the same age, the two boys who were in the company of the first witness at the time in question, gave a pre cisely similar account of the treatment to which they had been subjected, but Eason's evidence went par tially to exculpate the second prisoner from the more serious part of the charge, by stating, that although Shannon had endeavoured to allure themn the first that wasinstance, madeshe had upon tak them,en n and indeed active in ad the remainedattack outside of the house while it was being committe d. Sergeant Jackson, of the H division, deposed t o th e two women being pointed out to him by the youths as they had described, and stated that the house in which he had effected their apprehension was the re gular resort of some of the worst characters in the district. On telling them the nature of the charge against them both prisoners earneAly assured him that they had not a farthing about them, but on the road to the station he SAW Willis attempting to get something secretly out of her mouth, and he allowed her to do so, but as soon es she had got it into her hand he forced it away fr om h er , an d f ound i t to be the sixpenny piece produced. Both prisoners stoutly denied the charge, and Wil lis declared with the greatest effrontery that the money taken from her by the officer had been volun tarily presented to her by one of the youths in con sequence of her permitting him to accompany her home; but The MAGISTRXTE did not credit her story, and, after directing Shannon to be discharged, as he did not think the facts against her sufficiently crimina tory to insure a conviction, ordered the other woman, Willis, to be committed until that day week, for the completion of the depositions against her. A powerful fellow named Woodward was then charged with the following savage attack upon a poor woman, who is now in the London Hospital from the injuries she had sustained. A married woman named Harris, living in Dorset street, Spitalfields, stated that she and her sister, the woman the prisoner had maltreated, entered a public house, late in the evening, to meet a friend of theirs, and, on going into the parlour, were followed by the prisoner and some other men. They took in with them a potfull of beer, which they passed to a young man named Baker, and Baker passed it to the wit ness's sister, but, the instant the vessel was returned to the table, the prisoner exclaimed that he would not have any of them drinking with him, and, seizing up the pot, hurled it at her bead with such force that she instantly dropped from the blow, her head was laid open with a fearful gash, and the blood poured from the wound in such profusion that she was obliged to be conveyed to the hospital, of which she was still an inmate. The prisoner pleaded circumstances of aggravation, as he considered them, but was ordered to be remanded until the result of the injuries the woman had received could be ascertained. decent liberties with her, and said he would be her protector—nobody should ever hurt her. She in formed her mother and father, who gave the prisoner into custody. Mr. BA!Entine denied the charge on the part of his client. Mr. COMM said there was quite sufficient evidence, and he fully committed the prisoner for trial. Bail was accepted for his Appearance. DREADFUL MURDERS AND SUICIDE BY A FATHER. A most distressing affair occurred yesterday morn ing about eight o'clock, in Wyndham road, Camber well, which produced the most intense feeling in that usually quiet locality (a brief account of which ap peared in The Sun of yesterday). The perpetrator of the dreadful tragedy bears the name of Faucett. Ile had recently commenced business as a grocer and cheesemonger, at the corner of George-street and the Wyndham-road. On inquiry, it has been ascertained that the lives of two of his own children have been sacrificed, and that a third child has been so dread fully wounded as to render its chance of recovery ex ceedingly doubtful. From the intense excitement prevailing in the neighbourhood, it was extremely difficult to obtain accurate particulars, but the following may be relied upon as authentic, to which is subjoined the report of the surgeon, Mr. King, of Addington-place, Camber well-road, who was first called in to attend the victims of their misguided and doubtless maniacal parent, and also the latter, who had become his self murderer. Faucett, it seems, had lately purchased the business of a Mr. Stockham, and only commenced on his own account the day previous to the lamentable occurrence. Nothing particular had been observed in his conduct indicative of insanity. Yesterday the shop was opened at an early hour, and several customers were served by Faucett. Just previous to breakfast-time he called to his wife, and said he wished her to take two letters to the post-office, and on her return to call at Mr. Lewis's, a baker, and purchase some dcugh, to make a cake for the children. Previous to leaving the house she gave the children their breakfast. After a quarter of an hour's absence she returned home, and was surprised to find the shop door fastened on the inside:; and, being unable to obtain admittance by that entrance, she proceeded to the private door. On knocking, the door after a short lapse of time was opened by her eldest child (a girl about nine years of age), from whose throat blood was at the time copi ously streaming from two frightful gashes. Upon rushing into the house, she was quite paralysed on dis covering her youngest child, a boy, aged one year and nine months, lying on a bed in the back room of the first floor, with his head nearly severed from bis body, and of course quite dead. She then proceeded to the back parlour, and discovered another of her children, a girl, between four and five years of age, also lying a lifeless corpse, a deep wound having been inflicted in her neck, completely dividing the main arteries. The distracted mother ran back to the shop of Mr. Lewis, the baker, who, accompanied by several persons, proceeded to the house. They, on hearing a slight noise, went into the back kitchen, where the murderer was seen leaning over the sink, and on ap proaching to apprehend him, it was found he had in flicted upon himself a wound in the throat from five to six inches in length. He was immediately con veyed into the back garden and laid upon the ground, but before surgical aid could be procured be had ex pired. Mr. King promptly a tt en d e d, an d gave it as his opinion that the two younger children must have died instantaneously. The eldest girl, who opened the door to her mother, had received two severe wounds, one on each side of the neck, her life having been preserved only by the desperate resistance she was able to oppose to the attack of the murderer, and the providential return of her mother, whose knock alarmed the wretched man, and thus, for the present at least, saved the life of one of his intended victims. At this moment it was that Faucett rushed into the kitchen, and completed his atrocity by terminating his own existence in the manner already described. The weapons with which the horrible crime was committed were a knife used in his business for cutting bacon, a carving knife, and an ordinary table knife, all of which appeared to have been previously sharpened. The struggle be tween the father and the surviving daughter must have been one of the most desperate description, as, in addition to the wounds inflicted on her neck, her hands and arms are dreadfully mutilated. On inquiry at six o'clock P.m., the reporter ascertained that the symptoms of the surviving child had taken a more serious turn, and that considerable danger was to be apprehended. The house is at present in possession of the police, and will so remain until after the inquest. CERTIFICATES GRANTED. J. G.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. IX SOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 30, (Before Mr. Commissioner LAW.) IN RE HENRY SMITH. This insolvent, a vocalist, has been several times Wore the Court, under the Protection Act, and upon all occasions has been opposed by Mr. Henry Russell, alio a vocalist an d composer, who complained that the insolvent had invaded his rights by singing his com posNons. Mr. SARGOOD to, day appeared on behalf of Mr. 11. Russell, who was called upon to appear by a some what novel means. In July the insolvent applied to the Court, which then thought that he had not been in prison a sufficient time. Since then a detainer had been lodged at the suit of Mr. Sims Reeves, and the insolvent had obtained leave from the Chief Commis sioner to file a new petition under the Ist and 2d Viet. c. 110, and now sought to get rid of Mr. Russell by this proceeding. Mr. Commissioner LAW said he should not allow any such thing. The insolvent had a right to petition against any new creditors if he got into custody at their suit, before his former proceeding reached its termination, but he had no right to hash up two pro ceedings together. Mr. SARGOOD said he objected to any adjudication upon the new petition affecting the interest of his client. Mr Commissioner LAw thought upon that simple point that Mr. Russell's name ought not to be in the schedule at all. Mr. COOKE, on behalf of the insolvent, urged that debts had been incurred since the filing of the first petition, from which a final order would not dis charge, and on account of which there was a new detaining creditor, and therefore, he submitted, the insolvent was entitled to present a new petition, under the Ist and 2d Victoria, c. 110, and in so doing was bound to insert in his schedule all his debts and the claims against him. The fact of being under an adjournment sine die of a previous protec tion petition would not affect the second petition, as in the case of an adjournment of the last examination in bankruptcy sine die, where this Court always en tertained the petition of a prisoner who could not get out of custody without its aid. The insolvent being before the Court, he, under the authority of the law, was entitled to ail the benefits of the statute, and was entitled to be heard as if it were a new case, and the former proceedings were not to be considered in any respect. COMMIS SIONER — Supposing that Mr. Russell or any of the old creditors did not oppose now, then am I to adjudicate and give a warrant of discharge against those creditors upon this petition ? Mr. COOKE presumed so. COMMISSIONER —Then upon filing a new petition upon the pressure of new debts, the former proceed. ings is to go for nothing, and creditors must come and prove their cases over again. Mr. COOKE observed that, the Court had!' power to take the evidence given upon the former proceed ings as part of the present case, if it pleased, although he should contend it ought not, and that the creditor was bound to come and prove his complaint again. Mr. Commissioner LAW said he should not look at the schedule while it contained the names of any of the old creditors as parties against whom the insolvent sought relief. Two cases could not be blended. Sup. posing there were any property, it would belong ab solutely to the creditors of the first schedule, and those upon the new petition would have no claim whatever to it, their debts having been contracted since the first petition. It was quite fit that the existence of a for mer insolvency not terminated should not disable a man who had contracted subsequent debts, and who was detained in custody on account of them from ap. plying to be discharged as to those debts, and as a part of his history he must state that there was another pending petition upon which other parties were cre ditors, but not such creditors as the Court would act t n. out t l ) i f e tb it e he e r re f d o i r te o r r s a iu ga t i b n e st el u d po s n eb t e h d e ule sec m on u d st b pe e ti p ti u o the present one, and then he would adjudicate upon it. Mr. booRE said he was quite unprepared on the part of the insolvent to alter the schedule upon th e present occas i on. Would the Court dismiss the first petition ? Mr. C omm i ss i oner LAW declined to do any such thing. Mr. COOKE submitted that such a course bad been Commissioner then adjourned adopted in oth er courts.

(Before Mr. Winlitsr, Chairman, and a Bench of Magistrates, at Clerkenweli.) Patrick Lavine, 25, was indicted, charged with having feloniously assaulted David Jones, one of the police force, when in the execution of his duty, with the intent of preventing his own lawful apprehen sion. The prisoner was also further charged with having inflicted grievous bodily harm upon the said David Jones, and then with a common assault. It appeared that an early hour on the morning of CLERKEIVWELL. Mr. John Battin, master plasterer, of 70, South atnpton•street, I'entonville, was finally examined be fore Mr. Combe, charged by Sarah Maidment, be tween 13 and 14 years of age, with unlawfully as saulting her, with intent to violate her. The particulars have already been detailed in the newspapers. Mr. Lewis was retained by the father of the girl to conduct the prosecution; and Mr. Ballantine, the barrister, who was instructed by Mr. Wakeling, the solicitor, attended for the defence. It may be recollected that the prosecutrix was in the service of the prisoner. On last Saturday night week, during the absence of his wife, &0., he took in- FURTHER PARTICULARS. From the account kindly furnished by Mr. King, the surgeon, it appears that the boy, aged one year and nine months, bad the whole of the front portion of his throat cut through, dividing all the arteries, the head alone adhering to the body by the vertebrae. The child (a girl), aged between four and five, was not injured in the front of her throat. From appear ances it is presumed that she must have been eating bread and butter in her bed at the time when her unhappy father entered the room, and that on observ ing him approach with the weapon of destruction bedewed with gore, she turned upon her face, and thus presented an obstacle to her being destroyed by an attack in front. Accordingly it would seem that the murderer must have forced the point of the knife into the nape of the neck, where only a small puncture was visible ; but the cervical vertebrae and spinal morrow had,.nevertheless, been completely severed, and the knife must evidently been twisted round in the wound in order effectually to accomplish his murderous purpose. The state of the child, also a girl, who at present survives, evinces the dt sperate struggle she must have made in defence of her life, for there are several frightfully gaping wounds in various parts of her body. Three are in the neck, the weapon fortunately missing the jugular vein, and several on the hands —very deep on one of the thumbs, indicating that she had seized the murderous knife in self-defence. None of her injuries are mortal, but considerable danger is to be apprehended from he morrhage. Faucett was not found leaning over the sink, as before described, but in the garden, into which he rushed after inflicting upon himself in the back kitchen wounds which caused him to fall upon his back and expire in about five minutes. The wound in his throat had a most ghastly appearance. It was gaping so wide as to have admitted the insertion of an entire hand. The jugular vein and carotid artery were completely cut through, and the head nearly severed from the body, showing the evident determination of the unhappy man to destroy his own life. On the arrival of Mr. King, he proceeded to the parlour at the back of the shop. His attention was first directed to the surviving child, who was sitting on a chair, but on looking round he saw the youngest child lying as if thrown in a corner of the room, quite dead. By her side was a tray, containing three slices of bread and butter (a portion in her mouth), as also a cup upon the ground, broken to pieces. The bread and butter, as well as the bed-clothes, were literally soaked with blood. The whole scene was most ap palling. It is believed that the dreadful tragedy has no parallel since the lamentable occurrence which took place in Southampton-street, Pentonville, many years since, when Steinberg perpetrated crimes of equal magnitude and with equally melancholy and awful results. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. IPSWICH, SEPT. 30. We had a very much smaller supply of wheat at market to-day, and the late exceedingly low prices which wheat realized have determined the growers to give up threshing; hence all qualities must be written fully is per quarter dearer than last week. Barleys were in in creased supply; the trade heavy, and for any below the best picked samples, a decline of 2s per quarter must be written. Beans and peas firm, and rather dearer. PER QUARTER.'

Taylor and Bright's Circular states:—Arri vals of grain have been moderate daring the week; but since our list was made up have somewhat iacreased, especially of linseed, the major part of which, however, being on Crushers' account, does not come on the market. The wheat trade has to some extent recovered from its late extreme depression; and although many foreign orders have been in town for Ilareburgh and Baltic account, chiefly to store here, or mix with old foreign now in warehouse, but few have been executed, they being based on the low prices taken by farmers a fortnight back, of 32s to 34s per quarter, and to weigh 631bs. per bushel—an advance of fully 2s per quarter upon last Tuesday's prices has been paid during the weak, and nothing at all suitable for storing can now be procured under 35s to 36s per quarter, and even at these rates not much is offering. There was a moderate sup ply of E❑glish wheat to-day, and having a good demand both from the trade and millers, our farmers were able to obtain fully 2s per quarter more money than the cur rent rates of last week; samples were more various than for the last week or two. An improved demand for fo reign wheat, but very little offering on terms at all com mensurate with those taken for new English, there being but little on shipboard, and granv.ried parcels are mostly withdrawn for better times. Only a slow trade for barley, inferior English occupying the place of foreign to a great extent in the inland counties. Prices cf malt ing aro very irregular; not much new shown to-day.

A HUGE TROUT.—A few days ago, as a man of the name of Carradus, an ardent fisherman, along with two other disciples of Isaac Walton, were salmon-fishing in the Lune, in the vicinity of Middleton, they caught a trout which weighed the enormous weight of five pounds. But for the lack of an eye and a deep scar on the side of the head—an unmistakable proof of its having dwelt in "troubled waters"—it would have weighed a great deal more. It has, no doubt, annoyed many a jolly angler by carrying away his line and hook. Our piscatorial friends pronounce this a somewhat rare capture, as trouts in the Lune generally vary from a quarter to a pound in weight.— Whitehaven Herald' [ADVERTISEMENT.] - Holloway's Pills a most efficient Remedy for Bile, Indigestion, and Debilitated Con stitutions.—The extraordinary powers of this medicine in car ing disorders of the stomach, bile, indigestion, and liver corn plaints are wonderful.
