ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHI:IIN CIRCUIT.— Lire• pool, Aug. 20. CIVIL SIDE.—( Refire Mr. Justice CaEsswELt. ) SETTLEMENT OF THE BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE CASE. It having been arranged that the important cause of " Har bnttle r. Rylands," for breach of promise of marriage, should be taken at the sitting of the Court yesterday morning, curiosity was observable upon the countenances of the unusually large number of both sexes who had been fortunate enough to obtain admission before nine o'clock. The gallertes on the right and left were thrown open for th accommodation of the ladies, a goodly, party of whom, very fashionably dressed, were present before Mr. Justice Cresawell had taken his seat. The unusal circumstance of the Attorney-General being retained specially for the one party, and of the Solicitor-General being also retained specially for the other, lent an additional interest to the case. Rumour, ever busy upon such occasions, had given out that the plaintiff and defendant moved in the highest rank of life at Manchester—that the court ship, though of short duration, was nevertheless warm, in teresting, and romantic—that the damages were laid some where between ten and twenty thousand pounds. Thus was expectation raised to the highest pitch, when suddenly it was do - omed to suffer a grievous disappointment ; for many seconds after nine o'clock had not elapsed before it was buzzed along the avenues and through the Court, and even among the fair occupants of the' galleries, that the case had been privately settled. Mr. Martin made a slight allusion to the fact. He said:—'' Your Lordship, I suppose, is aware that the great cause is settled." His Lordship 'nodded in the affirmative ; and thus all doubt about the settlement, if any existed before, was at once removed. From inquiries made, we learned that the settlement is to this effect : the lady is to receive the sum of 4,000/., and her costs are to be subject to taxation in the usual manner. Her father was in Court, and remained there until after Mr. Martin had mentioned the settlement to his Lordship. GRIFFIN V. ASHLEY. An Action on a promissory note for 5001. and interest. The plaintiff was Mary Griffin, of Middleton, Northamptonshire ; and the def..nelant was David Ashley, miller, of the same county—Verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. HASSELL AND ANOTHER V. WATSON AND ANOTHER. An action to recover 1,3941. 16s. 4d. as damages, by reason of the defendants not having loaded the ship Wilson with a cargo of guano at Ichaboe, or some adjacent island. The plaintiffs were Messrs. Hassell and Good, of Hull, the owners of the ship, and the defendants were Messrs. Watson, one of whom is at the University, and the other is oat of business.— Verdict for the plaintiffs for the full amount. Mr. Baron Rolfe was occupied all day in the Crown Court with the trial of cases which are unfit for publication. CENTRAL CRINIINAL COURT. OLD COUR!. (Before Mr. Justice Wieuratate.), George giyith, 22, postman, was indicted for stealing a letter containing a broach and a pencil case, the pro perty of her Nlajesty's Postmaster-General. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bodkin conducted the prosecu tion, and Mr. Charnock appeared for the prisoner. From the evidence adduced, it appeared that a travel ling jeweller, named Blumenthal, had been employed to get a brooch and a stone of a certain p tttern for a cus tomer, and he sent to Birmingham to obtain them. The person who received the order could not obtain the articles at Birmingham, but, eventually, they were ob tained at Northampton, and were posted in a letter ad dressed to London. This letter never came to hand, and shortly afterwards, upon the lodgings of the prisoner, who had beer. taken into custody upon another charge, being searched, the stolen articles were discovered. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. There was another charge against him of a similar de scription, but it was not proceeded with. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN sentenced the prisoner to be transported for fifteen years. John Tay 33, was indicted for stealing a quantity of old silver, a silver image, and a china vase, the pro perty of our Sovereign Lady the Queen. Mr. Bodkin and another Learned Gentleman appeared for the Cro an, and Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. The circumstances under which this charge was made against ;he prisoner were very fully detailed at the time the prisoner was under examination at the Police-court. The prisoner was employed as a cabinet-maker, with several other workmen, in Buckingham Palace in June la.t, and the property in question was supposed to have been abstracted on the 13th of that month. On the evening of that day the prisoner was seen to leave the Palace with a bag which was supposed to contain his tools, and, therefore, no suspicion was excited. The prisoner, it appeared, took a cab at a short distance from the Palace, and proceeded to the shop of Mr. Seymour, a silversmith in Long-acre, where he offered the silver in question for sale. Mr. Seymour having some suspicion askt - s1 his name, and he replied that it was John John son, and he g4v4 an address, and upon this he gave him a pardon of the amount, and directed a p iliceman to watch him, and on his finding that he had gone to a dif ferent arldreg'S to the one he had given at Mr. Seymour's, he took him into custody. In addition to these facts, it was proved that the prisoner left in the cab, which he had bired to convey him to Long-acre, a vase, and upon his not retarninf,,s in the course of three hours, the driver tools this vase to the 4ackney-coach-office, at Somerset House, where it was identified as having formed part of the property stolen at the Palace. It was likeyriae proved that while the prisoner was in custody at the police-station in Bow-street, he wrote a le:ter to his wife, requesting her to state that a foreign gentleman, who had been lodging with them. bad left the old silver in their charge two years before, and had told them that if he did not return in three months, they might apply it to their own use, and also that he had told them to give the name of Johnson as a refecence to the party for whom they sold it. The whsle of the property was produced and identified by Mr. Sattaders, the inspector of palaces, as the property of her Majesty. Mr. CLARKSON briefly addressed the jury for the pri soner. _ _ The Learned JUDGE having summed up, the jury re turned a verdict of Guilty, but strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy on account of his previous good character.—Judgteent was respited. Thopas Parker, 51, carpenter, was indicted for felo niously uttering a forged order for the payment of 1301., with intent to defraud Henry Bosanquet and others, and George James Aungier, 32, clerk, was indicted for ceun selling and abetting Parker in the commission of the offence imputed to him. The prisoner Aungier was likewise arraigned upon a charge of forging the order in question, but to this in dictinent ho pleaded guilty. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. ')oane conducted the prosecution. Mr. J. Payne appeared for the prisoner Parker. From the statement of the Learned Counsel for the prosecution, and the evidence that was adduced, it ap peared that, on the 26th of July, the prisoner Parker went to the St. James's-square branch of the London and Westminster Batik, and presented a cheque pur perting to he drawn by Mr. Nicholl', the printer to the House of C, , mmons, who kept an account with the bank, for the sum of 1301. The checrie was at once discovered to he a forgery, arid on Parker being questioned, he said he hal receive I it from a person named Murray, but he subsequently ment'one 1 the name of the prisoner Aunge-r, awl on searching his house, some documents were discovered which left no doubt of his guilt ; but as that prisoner Weeded gailte, it was net necessary to go into the details of that evidence ; and the only question was, whether the prisoner Parker, at the time he pre sented the cheque at the bank, had a guilty knowledge of its being forge I. In order to show this, evidence was adduced, - that the two prisoners and their wives were on very friendly terms, rind that they frequently visited each other, arid appeared very intimate. There were no other material facts adduced in evidence against the prisoner Parker ; and it appeared that when Aungier was under examination at the police-office, he declared tint he al one %sae guilty, and that he merely sent Parker, as a messenger, to obtain the money for the cheque. Me. PAYNE addressed the jury and contended that the facts proved against the prisoner Parker were by no means aufficient to warrant them in coming to the conclusien that at the time the prisoner otered the cheque in question he had a clear and perfect know. ledge, for that was what woo imputed to him by the present indictment, that the document was a forgery. Several witnesses were called, who gave the prisoner Parker a very excellent character for honesty and good conduct. The jury, without troubling the Learned Judge to sum up, at once returned a verdict of Guilty. There were two other indictments for forgery against the prisoner Aungier, to both of which he pleaded guilty. Judgment was respited. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. L:11 !BE MANsLAUGHrEß.—Yesterday, Owen Buckley, a black mnith, against whom a Coroner's jury returned a verdict of . manslaughter ten days ago, but who has since managed to keep out of the way. WWI charged before Mr. Norton with having • caused the death of John Curtis, a tinman and brazier. .. From the evidence it appeared, that on last Saturday night three weeks the prisoner and deceased, while in a state of • intonyeation, quarrelled at the Lord Nlonteagle beer-shop, in Brandon-street, Waiworth, and ultimately fought two hours in the street.in front of the house. In each round the deceased fell heavily with the prisoner upon him, and was so injured that he was obliged to be taken home. He lingered in great suffer ing from internal injuries for nearly a fortnight, when he died. Mr. Day, the surgeon who had made the post modem exa. mination Of the body of the deceased, described the injuries which the deceased had received, which he had no doubt had been occasioned by the knee of a person falling upon him. The prisoner, in his defence, said he would be prepared with witnesses to prove that since the night in question the de- Ceased had been drunk and fighting at a public-house with another person. Mt. NORTON remanded him, to give him an opportunity of . . bringing forward his witnesses. Mr. Day remarked that no such testimony as that spoken of • by the prisoner had been adduced before the Coroner. . - OMNIBUS RUFFIANISM. —.John Lijin, the conductor of - one of the London Conveyance Company's omnibuses, appeared to a warrant charging, him with violently assaulting Mr. Wm. Mappleton, a gentleman holding a situation in Somerset Ileuse. Mr. Mappleton stated that on Friday night last he got into an omnibus, of which the defendant was conductor, at the Vauxhall-bridge, and upon its stopping at the Horns, at Ken nington, he got out. In getting (Alt he accidentally struck the defendant with the head of a shrimp in throwing it away, and the defendant. in an artery tone, asked him what he had done it for? Mr Nlappletrin a'sured him that he had not thrown the shrimp at him on puipo-e, and that its striking him was merely accidental. Tee defendant called him a liar, and instantly struck him a violent blow on the eye-brow of his right eye, the effrcts of which had stunned him for some moments. He also bled so freely from the wound which had been inflicted, that his neekerc: , ief, shirt, waistcoat, at:d even coat were saturated with blond. On recovering hirnaelf he was obliged to be driven to a surgeon to have the wound dressed, and then preeeeded home 'in a cab, and since then was obliged to have his eye fre quently dressed by a medical man. In reply to the questions of the Magistrate, the witness de clared solemnly he had not thrown the shrimp intentionally at the defendant, and said its striking him was purely accidental. He also declared he was perfectly sober at the time. A witness named Swann was called, who corroborated the complainant. The defendant said that in the first place the complainant was .

The Legislature has taken cognizance of the evil, for in the 7th section of the Bth and 9th Vic., cap. 116, " An Act for the Prot action of Seamen entering on board Merchant Ships," it is enacted, " that no owner, part owner, master, or person in charge of any merchant ship, or ship's husband, shall pay or advance, or give any note in writing or otherwise, in the nature of and purporting to be, an advance note for any part of the wages of any seaman hired, engaged, supplied, or provided to be entered on board the said ship, until sit hours after the ship's articles have been duly signed by the said seaman on board the said ship, and by the master or owner of the said ship, and then only to the said seaman himself, unless such wages or advance of wages be paid in money, in which ease.the payment thereof may be made to the said seaman him self at any period most convenient after the signing of the said ship's articles as aforesaid." This Act comes into operation on the Ist of November next, and will prevent frauds by seamen as well as upon them. _ In this Case it appeared that the prisoner has been victi mising the Jew clothiers and others on both sides of the water, who are in the habit of cashing advance notes, or providing clothes, chests, and hammocks to seamen for them. The appearance of the prisoner, which is that of a smart young sailor, and who has been at sea and made several voyages, was well calculatel to impose upon his dupes. From a host of cases detected we select the most prominent. On the 30th of July the prisoner called at the shop of Messrs. Hallett and Co., outfitters, in Broad-street, Ratcliff, and presented to their shopman, Wilson, an advance note for the payment of IL 155., a month's wages for an ordinary seaman, which the prisoner represented himself to be. It purported to be signed by Captain Martin Fleming, the master of the ship Maranham, and was made payable at the offices of Mr. Charles Gumm, broker of the ship, at No. 4, King's Arms. buildings, 'Change-alley, three days after the sailing of the ship, provided the person whose name was endorsed on the note sailed with the vessel. The prisoner represented that he had signed articles to go nut in the Maranham, and that he had dealt with Messrs. Hallett before, and they had treated him so well he wished to patronise them again. He was supplied with clothes and ►money to the amount "named on the credit of the note, which afterwards turned out to be a forgery. The Maranham sailed on Tuesday week, and Mr. Wilkins, clerk to Mr. Gumm, said that no part of the note was in the captain's handwriting, as it pretended to be. On the 22d of July the prisoner tendered a similar advance note to Mr. Cohen, a talor and outfitter, in Tooley-street. It purported to be signed by James M'Pherson, master of the Elizabeth, bound to Bom bay, and was made payable at the office of Messrs. Toulmin, the ship brokers, in Great St. Helens. Cohen said he would cash the note if the prisoner gave him security, and he said his mother would do that. Cohen wrote him out a form, and he went away and returned in about an hour with the signature of a woman attached to it, which he said was his mother's. The Jew then gave him fifteen shillings in money, and clothes t• the amount of one pound. The note was proved to be a forgery by Messrs. Toulmin's clerk, who said his employers were not agents for any ship named the Eliza beth. Mr. Thomas King, clothier, of No. 34, St. George street East, advanced cash and money to the amount of 21. on a seaman's advance note, purporting to be signed by the master of the Maranham. It was proved to be a forgery. On Thurs day, the 7th instant, the prisoner called upon Mr. Hunter, of No. 17, Parsons-street, East Smithfield, and said he had joined the Wellington, and had left his advance note in pawn with a Jew for half-a-crown. On the following day the pri soner called again with an advance note. The blanks were filed up with the name of the master of the Wellington. The prisoner obtained ss. only of Hunter, and looked out clothes to the amount of 555. more, which were taken on board the ship, and, on inquiry being made for the prisoner, he was not to be found there. The advance note for the Wellington was also proved to be a forgery. When the ;prisoner was apprehended by Hale, he found a memorandum-book, which contained an account of all his transactions, and a history of the frauds he had committed upon so many persons. There was also a letter found upon him, signed " Robert Atkins," and addressed " Miss Margaret Grant," which contained the following sen tences :—" I am compelled to act in a manner wholly against virtue and the law. lam at this moment in possession of a certain note for W. Oh, do not say more." The constable traced the uttering of sixteen advance notes to the prisoner. He had obtained money and clothes on the whole of them. Previous to the first examination the prisoner appeared sur prised at the number of persons who attended to identify him, and said he did not think that any one would prosecute him for such small sums. The depositions in four cases were taken, the witnesses were bound over to prosecute, and the prisoner, who made no de fence, was committed for trial. FALKIRK AUGUST TRYST. This is the first great market in Scotland for Argyle shire, Angus, Aberdeenshire, and Morayshire cattle. There are no sheep at this (August) Tryst, conse quently the market was not held till Tuesday. Sales were long in commencing, few having been ef fected before eleven o'clock yesterday (Tuesday.) Holders of stock stood out for high prices, and intending purchasers firmly declined to give the prices asked, con sequently this may be truly designated " a dull and dear market." Upon our entering the ground, it struck us as having more the appearance of a September or October Tryst than of an August one, there being from a third to a fourth more cattle on the ground than has appeared for some years past at this Tryst. There was a great want of stir and animation throughout the whole day, and sales continued languid till the close of the market. As compared with the last year's August Tryst, we have to quote Argyleshire and north country black cattle, one or two years old, at an advance of from 10 to 15 per cent. up ; whilst, for Aberdeen shire, Morayshire, and Angus-shire, of two and three years old, being fat and half fat, the rise in price was not nearly so great—in general only about 5 per cent. Holders of stock gradually gave way as the day advanced. and, to a certain extent, purchasers also advanced their offers in the afternoon ; the market, however, continued languid throughout, and a good many remained unsold, and we should suppose that a I number wilt appear on the ground to-day (Wednes , iay). We may mention that the description of stock brought forward yesterday could not (either as to breed or numbers) be properly considered as known stock, gene rally speaking, much of it being (in the railway sense of the term) merely brought forward as feelers. As com pared with the usual Falkirk Trysts, only a few English dealers were present, which, together with a scanty sup ply of second crop of grass, 'Lady damped th,- demand for beasts ; still, however, if they could have been had really worth the money in the southern markets, there were a number present sufficient to have cleared the market ; but those from the south maintained that the prices asked were such, that they could not venture to purchase for the southern markets. A rather novel feature has sprung up in the market, from a considerable number (690 or 700 yesterday) of Irish cattle being brought forward. The presence of this sort of stock in the Falkirk Tryst may be ac counted for partly from the facility of transmission, and perhaps and more especially from more attention as to breed, the Irish cows being crossed by fine short horn bre, ds. What tended to make holders of stock stand out more firmly, was the fact of a number of sales having been effected on the previous evening, at higher rates than what could be obtained in the market yesterday. As we have mentioned above, one and two year old small beasts from the North and West Highlands realised a of price from last year ; yet even for this sort sales were dull, and a number unsold. The first sale we heard of was for a lot of very good stirks (stots) from Mr. A. M'Arthur, Lochaber (six quarters old of course), at 3/. 10s. a-head ; they were purchased by Mr. Gray, Balmaclellan. A lot of two and three-years old queys, from Argyleshire (Mr. M'Naught's, Dumbartonshire) fetched 41. 155., and a lot of Argyleshire two-years old at 31. 155.-this last lot was from ss. to 7s. 7d. a-head up from last August Tryst. Forty head of two years old stots, from Skye, fetched 41. 45.-last year 31. 10s. ; they were sold by Mr. Donald Cameron, En c h rea , Locaber. This gentle man sold twenty head of the same breed, two years old, at 41., and another lot at 31. ss. This last lot was bought by Mr. Anderson of Dumfries. A lot of forty head of two years old, from Morvern, Argyleshire, fetched the second top price, 61. 10s. Mr. Alexander M'Farlane sold the top-priced two years old West Highland stots at 61. 14% a-head. A lot of spotted cattle in very good condition fetched 13/. ss. A lot of Lews two years old fetched 31.-last year 21 15., and same condition. A lot which had been purchased yesterday month from Mr. Fraser, banker, Dornoch, at the Kyles of Sutherland, for 41. 45., were sold yesterday at 41. 10s. a h ea d, b e i ng a l oss of fully 2s. 6d. each. Indeed, we may mention that in several cases dealers complained that they had sust tined loss on recent purchases, while we understood in other cases, especially from the West Highlands, good profits had been realised. This stock gave 41. and 41. ss. at the August Tryst last year. A lot of three years old Mull queys fetched 61; last year, 51. Bs. and 51. 10s. A lot of two years old Lews cattle fetched 31. 12s. 6d.; last year, 31. 55.-they were for the county of Essex this year. Another lot of Lews two years old stots fetched 21. 15s. -this lot was also fur Essex. Other lots were bought by Mr. Bray, of Lincolnshire. Mr. Bray also bought a lot of small ponies at 31. ss. each. Mr. Flockhart, salesman, Edinburgh, sold mixed Highlanders at 51. lOs and 51. 15s. a head, two years old. A lot of small West Highland sticks fetched 11. 10s. a head-they were for Dumfriesshire. A lot of three years old Aberdeenshire, half fat, fetched 131 155., for Overtown, Kirkliston Generally, good two years old West Highland stots fetched from 5/. to 61 10s. Mr. Cameron, of Corry choilie sold a lot of two years old Argyleshires at 5/. 10s., and A lot of three years old ditto queys, at 71., to Mr. Rid dell, of Cumberland. SUSPICIOUS CASE AT NORTH- FLEET. The inquest upon the body of John Tuckwell, who died, as was believed by the overseers of the parish, in consequence of the neglect of the medical and relieving officers of the Union of North Aylesford, including the parish of Northfleet, was resumed on Tuesday at half past three, the hour to which it was adjourned by the Coroner, with the concurrence of the jury on Friday. The Clerk of the Board of Guardians, Mr. John Simp son Bullard, attended on the Coroner's summons, and produced the books of the Board, and the reports made by the medical offi.,er in the case of the deceased, and from his evidence, and that of Mr. Whitcombe, the me diell officer, and of Mr. Liddell, the relieving officer of the Union, it appeared that Mr. Wood, the guardian of Northfl*et parish, had interposed to prevent the giving of medical or other relief to the unfortunate deceased. Mr. Liddell threw himself upon the mercy of the jury, admitting that he had not performed his duty as relieving officer. Mr. Bullard deposed that neither Mr. Liddell or Mr. Whitcombe had done their duty, and al; of them dis proved the evidence of Mr. Wood, who was then called upon by the Coroner for re-examination. It is right to state that, on the opening of the pro ceedings on this day, the Coroner directed that Mr. Wood should leave the room, and when now called upon Mr. Wood was not to be found. The constable of the parish was sent to find him, and after the lapse of an hour he returned, saying that Mr. Wood had neither gone home or to any place in the neighbourhood, but was seen abut an hour before his attendance was required in the vicinity of Swanscombe Wood. The CORONER then proceeded to charge the jury, first observing, that the odium which Mr. Wood's strange dis appearance must necessarily give rise to against that gentleman rested with himself, as he alone was re sponsible for it by such disappearance, he (the Coroner) being willing to give him an opportunity to explain, if he possibly could, the strange evidence he gave. That evidence was contradicted by Mr. Whitcomhe and all the other officers of the Union and of Northfleet parish ; but as Mr. Wood thought proper not to appear, he must be responsible to himself for the results. The Coroner then proceeded at great length, and with great ability, to co nment upon the evidence, and animadverted in the strongest terms of reprobation on the " petty quarrels and squabbles" of the parish and Union authorities for the administration of the poor-law, which, in many instances, coining within his cognizance as Coroner, had led, in all human probability, to the death of unfortunate paupers ; and went on to say, that the unfortunate deceased man might be now living if he had been duly attended to, and had medical relief in the early stags of his disorder. It appears, continued the Coroner, that he was unattended by the medical officer from Wednesday, the 6th, until the following Tuesday, leaving an interval of six days without any medical or other parish aid ; and such neglect, from whatever source it might arise, was greatly to be deplored. Such cases as this threw odium upon the poor-law, the general principle of which was good, but the administration of which was too often improperly conducted (Cries of "Hear, hear;" from all parts of the room.) Although the medical officer in this case unadvisedly discontinued his attend Ince, he (the Coroner) considered the re lieving officer most blameable, and Mr. Wood most blameable of all, for it appeared from what transpired in evidence, that he had, as local guardian, improperly interfered with the medical and relieving officers' duties, when it was clear he had no power or right to interfere with, or exercise any authority at all over any officer of the Union in his individual capacity as guardian. I❑ this case it was evident that Mr. Wood did interfere and exer cise an improper or illegal authority—(Rear, hear) — and that such interference in a case terminating fatally, as this poor man's did, subjected the party so interfering to a verdict of manslaughter. The Coroner concluded a long and able address to the jury, by a recommendation to them to give such a verdict in the case as would satisfy the public mind that strict justice should be done, and expressed a hope that they would never again be called together upon an occasion so peculiarly painful, or under such distressing circumstances. He also made some strong observations upon the necessity and propriety of printing, for the information of the pArochial authorities of this Union, and for the satisfaction of the payers of poor-rates, as well as of the poor themselves, the rules and regulations of the board. The Jury having deliberated about half an hour, re turned the following verdict :—" Our verdict is, that John Tuckwell died from natural causes, namely, the sniall-pox ; and we much regret that so little attention had been paid to the patient in the early part of the dis ease, apparently in consequence of the undue interfe rence of the local guardian with the overseer and reliev ing officer." . _ — The room was crowded during the whole of the pro ceedings, which terminated by the returning of the verdict, at near eight o'clock, with the resident gentry of the parish, the poor-law authorities of the Union, and several medical practioners of Gravesend, and the surrounding district ; and the most intense interest was evinced by all parties present in the proceedings. The poor rates of Northfleet parish are 1,5701. a year, and the relief given tco the poor, it is said, amounts to the expenditure of 2001. a year. FRIGHTFUL DESCENT OF MR GREEN, AND LOSS OF THE BALLOON. It is with extreme pleasure we are enabled to contradict the rumour that prevailed in town yesterday, relative to the death of that daring and adventurous aeronaut, Mr. Charles Green, who, it was reported, had lost his life by the destruction of his balloon, occasioned, as it was stated, by a spark from the fire works attached to the car igniting with the gas. • It is true that the balloon, with all its apparatus, is lost ; that Mr. Green effected one of the most fearful descents ever recorded in the annals of aerostation ; that he became entangled with the netting; that he was dragged between four awl five miles in the direction of the river Medway, but by the inter position of Providence his life was miraculously spared, his only injuries being a few but severe bruises, and a contusion and abrasion of the skin of the right hand. Previous to leaving Vauxhall Gardens on Wednesday night the wind was blowing strong west by south, and Mr. Green consequently expressed his intention of effecting a descent as speedily as possible, in fact, as soon as he cleared the metro polis. He was recommended by some friends not to attempt the ascent, and particularly with fireworks, but he replied that he was determined—that he did not anticipate any danger, and that rather than disappoint the public he would comply with the terms of his engagement with the lessee of the gardens. The ascent, which took place at about a quarter to eleven o'clock, was a most brilliant spectacle. The fireworks (con structed and arranged by Mr. Darby, the celebrated pyro technist and artist to the gardens) were splendid, and the whole affair appeared to give entire satisfaction to the thou sands of spectators assembled both in the gardens, outside, on the bridges, and, in fact, at every point and eminence from whence a view of the ascent and pyrotechnic display 'could be obtained: A party of gentlemen stopped till four o'clock in the morn ing at the gardens, anxiously waiting the arrival of Mr. Green, as he had promised to return to Vauxhall, in the event of his descending in the suburban districts of the metropolis, and provided that he could obtain a conveyance to town. No in telligence of his descent having been received at the gardens up to foar o'clock, several of his friends became somewhat alarmed for his safety, while others felt no uneasiness, being convinced that the balloon had travelled a great distance, and that Mr. Green was unable to arrive in London. At length the following note was received by post, addressed to Mr. T. Holt, the treasurer of the gardens, and dated from the ter minus of the ,London and Blackwell Railway, in Fenchurch street : " Fenchurch-street, Thursday Morning, Nine o'clock.—My dear Sir,—After a rapid trip of 35 minutes, I effected a landing about six miles beyond Gravesend. The wind raged with such fury that the grapnel tore away from everything that opposed its progress; and the balloon, after rebounding from place to place, and dragging . me over the earth between three and four miles, got the car into a deep dyke, when being, from the es cape of gas, prevented from ascending, I hoped to have suc ceeded in packing it, as in the turnip-field at Farningham ; but the increased fury of the wind again dragged me over the earth, until, no longer able to hold on, it at length escaped from my grasp. I am, however, in great hopes of obtaining it again should it continue inland, as it must be stopped and de tained by the netting in the event of its coming in contact with wood or trees. I have sustained no severe injury, but am suffering severely from. my cold. I am going home to bed, and should much like to see Mr. Lewis at Highgate, as I wish him to offer a reward of 5/. to any person res'oring it to my possession.—ln haste for post, yours, very respectfully, " C. GREEN." Immediately on the receipt of this communication, Mr. Holt and Mr. D. Liddle (one of the proprietors of the Gardens) started for /Erial Cottage, Highgate, the residence of Mr. Green, and were subsequently followed by Mr. T. R. Lewis (the gentleman alluded to in Mr. Green's note), and upon their arrival found the veteran aeronaut in bed, affec tionately attended by Mrs. Green, who, at the time of his ascent, expressed her fears for her husband's safety, from the high wind blowing at the time. Mr. Green had his hand bandaged, and exhibited some bruises, but appeared, consider ing his narrow escape from a dreadful death, to be in good spirits, although much fatigued with the exertion he had undergone in liberating himself from the balloon, his endea vouring to secure it and his instruments, and the distance he had to walk before he arrived at Gravesend, where he took passage in the first steamer for London. At the request of Mr. Green, Mr. Lewis took a chair by his bedsid e an d noted down the following particulars of his perilous and disastrous trip : " At the time I left the gardens the wind was blowing west by south, consequently the balloon took a direction of almost due east. The wind continued in the same quarter during the whole of my voyage. I crossed the Surrey Zoological Gar dens, and then got away towards Greenwich, Charlton, and Woolwich. The balloon then bore off across the river to the opposite shors, in the direction of Purfleet. I could have then effected a landingseveral times had the wind dropped, and had I had assistance, but knowing that if I attemped a descent with such a boisterous gale, and no help at hand, I should have been carried on to the river. The balloon continued its course till it arrived at Gravesend Reach. I kept at a very low alti tude; in fact, at times I was close to the shore, and near to the water's edge. On arriving at a place, which I think is marked in the map as Osterland, I endeavoured to descend, but the balloon dragged along the land for at least three or four and d then be got enabledou ol t o the empty esr,b i n t t of nos the oon g e a r s. miles, the w i n d still blowing with great violence from the west ; the car at le ngt h got into a deep dyke, and I thought that I should theoovtal on n had l olpseente d y fm the bank of the dyke, than I became entangled in the netting . A gust of wind su d denly drove the balloon out of the ditch, ancil was dragged along the ground, till at length the car became se cured in another and deeper dyke, I endeavouring the whole of the time to disengage myself from the netting. I for the first time in my life now became alarmed for my safety. I thought of my knife, and happily found it in my pocket. I then com menced cutting away with the greatest vigour, but from the cordage being of peculiar fabric, I experienced the greatest difficulty in 'berating myself. The oscillation of the balloon now became frightful, but I held on it firmly, well knowing, from the escape of gas, that its ascending power was gone, and that it could only drift by the wind. At length, becoming exhausted, I let go my hold, and the balloon went away, car, grapnel, barometer, and my other meterological instruments, apparently in the direction of Queenborougl.. It was very dark at the time, but I could distinctly discern the balloon make three or four halts before it became invisible. I then made my way along the banks of,the river towards Gravesend without meeting a soul or finding a house - cipen, a distance from the spot where I left-the balloon of at least 18 or 20 miles. I arrived at Gravesend alma half-past six o'clock, and, to prevent being annoyed by the questions of strangers, I preserved'a strict incognito. I shall, however, visit Vauxhall Gardens to-mor row (Friday) evening, to receive the congratulations of my friends." REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH- WARK. A public meeting of the electors of ere parish of St. George the Martyr, Southwark, was held last evening in Knighton's Rooms, Webber-street, Blackfriars-road, for the purpose of forwarding the electkn of Sir Wm. Molesworth, and to hear an address from that gentle man in exposition of his political principles. Mr. Lee Stevens - was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN briefly introduced the business of the meeting, by hoping that every one who might think proper to address it wouli have a fair hearing. That was the only way to arrive at truth. The principal ob ject of the meeting was to hear an address from Sir W. Molseworth, who was prepared fairly and honestly to state his opinions, and ready to subject himself to any examination they might think proper to impose. Sir William was no mere theorist or uuknown politician. He was a tried and a practical man. He had been nine years in Parliament, and during that time he always acted with the Radical party and against the Whigs. They (Sir William Molesworth's friends) in supporting such a gentleman had been charged with going over to the Whigs. Nothing could be more preposterous. Sir William was no Whig, nor had he ever been one. He consistently opposed that party on account of their stand ' still policy, and actually lost the representation of Leeds by holding a peace meeting in direct opposition to the Whigs of that town. To call such a gentleman a nominee of the Reform Club, as had been done by Miall, was therefore most unjustifiable. After making a comparison between Sir William Molesworth and Mr. Miall, giving the preference to the former over the latter, as being a well known and tried man, he con cluded by calling on Sir William Molesworth to address the meeting. Sir W. MOLESWORTII, who, on rising, was received with great cheers, said that he did not come forward to thrust himself On a great constituency like that of Sout h wark, He had no wish to divide the liberal interest ; and if he thought that any other man would better secure the support of the liberal electors than himself, he would gladly give way for him, and assist to effect his return by every means its his power.—(Cheers.) He would now go into a statement of his political views, and he would first begin with the measure which had occasioned the greatest excitement in the borough, and on which there existed the greatest difference of opinion, viz., the May no.,th grant. He would premise his remarks by declaring that he was in favour of the voluntary system.—(Cheers.) lie had always opposed grants of public money for ecclesiastical purposes. He was opposed to connexion between Church and State, and considered that every religious body ought to support its own minister, He now came to the real point at issue. He had been asked hew he would have acted had he been in Parlia ment on the proposition for an additional grant to the Roman Catholic College of Ma,ynooth ? His answer was, that he would have felt it his duty to have given his vote in favour of that measure.—(Cheers awl uproar.) It was a measure of political necessity in the existing state of the country.—(Hisses and cheers.) It was, he repeated, a measure of political necessity—(Cries of ". No, no," and " Yes, yes")—and, further, it was an educational measure. This statement might appear in consistent with the opinion he had given against eccle siastical endowments.—(Cries of " It is," and cheers.) His reason for supporting it was, that the grant to May nooth was a condition, among others, imposed on this country at the time of the union. It was a contract entered into with the Irish people that a certain portion of money should be set apart for the education of the Irish priesthood. It was a grant in lieu of the property taken from the Roman Catholic Church at the Reformation, and which had been left to the Roman Catholics by their pious ancestors. Property, which had net been applied to State purposes, but applied to support a Church and a creed that seven-eighths of the Irish people entirely repudiated.—(Cheers.) Had that grant no: been conceded it would have excited unmi tigated hostility in the mind of the Irish people. They would have declared there was no hope of justice from England; and it would have given increased force to the repeal of the union. —(Hear, hear.) Though he was in favour of this grant under the circumstances, he would oppose any further increase of it, and he would also go against any grant of public money for ecclesiastical purposes.—(Cheers.) The lion. Baronet then went into the other topics of his published address, in almost the some terms as those he employed on Monday night —the extension of the suffrage, vote by ballot, triennial Parliaments, free trade and the corn laws. He ex pressed himself in favour of the new poor-law, though he admitted that it contained many defects. These defects would, however, have his best attention, and he would be perfectly willing at all times to remedy proved abuses. • The Hon. Baronet concluded his address amidst mingled cheers and hisses, the former however greatly preponderating. Mr. KNIGHT asked Sir William Nfolesworth what he would have done in regard to the Commons Inclosure Bill had he been in Parliament ? Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH did not consider he ought to be called npon to give an opinion on retro spective questions which were. settled, and on which he had never voted. -Mr. KNIGHT—WiII you vote for its repeal ? Sir WILLIAM .MoLEsworrrn said he could not give an answer respecting a measure he had not paid any at tention to.—Uproar.) Mr. ARCHER said he • had a question to put. It was in reference to the statement Sir William Molesworth had made on Monday evening on the subject of the future endOwment of the Roman Catholic Church. As he (Mr. Archer) believed some misrepresentation had been made by the public press of what was said on that occasion, he wished Sir William would give his exact views on the subject. Sir Wm. MOLES WORTH said that he would not pledge himself not to support any endowment of the Roman Catholic creed. He was, on that occasion, referring to the Protestant Establishment of Ireland. It was his wish to see that Church abolished—(Cheers)—as it was the monster grievance of Ireland, and the funds applied to other purposes. He wag not at that time prepared to say how these funds should be applied. He would not pledge-himself for or against the proposition, that a portion of the funds of that church should be applied to the support . of the I;oman Catholic priesthood. But he said on that occasion, as he said now, if ever he mule up his mind on this proposition before he took any step to give effect to his views, he would come before his con stituents, and should they think fit, place his resignation in their hands.—(Loud cheers.) Subsequently when this subject was referred to by another gentleman, Sir WILLIAM MOLES WORTH said he would always oppose taking any of the fends of the people of England, or any portion of the consolidated fund for the purpose of the Roman Catholic church. Should he ever think it expedient that the Roman Catholic faith should be en dowed, he would propose it at the expense of the funds of the Irish Protestant church.—(Cheers and uproar.) aptain HAWKINS then moved a resolution, which he preraced by a few observations, to the effect th Lt, after hearing Sir William Molesworth, they (the meeting) considered him a fit and proper person to represent the Borough in Parliament. Mr. Pococa seconded the resolution. Mr. JOHN ROBERTS, a non -elector, came forward to move an amendment that Sir William Moles worth was not a fit and proper candidate. Objections being taken to Mr. Roberts proposing the amendment, it was taken up by Mr. MAYNARD, who moved it in rather a violent speech, amidst the cheers of his supporters, and the dis satisfaction of the bulk of the meeting. The amendment being seconded, it was put, and lost by a very large majority. The original motion was then put, and carried with about 50 dissentients. After Sir W. MOLEOVORTEI had returned thanks, the meeting, which was an exceedingly crowded one, broke up. DUTCH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, Auo. 17.—Her Majesty the Queen re turned yesterday from Sootsdyk to this town. We learn that his Excellency the Minister of the In terior is expected to return to the Hague at the begin ning of next month. We hear that the Department of the Interior has ad dressed a letter to the Agricultural Commission, stating the Kint's desire to be im me di a t e ly informed of real state of the potato crop, and that, after the reports which have been received, the public is to be made ac quainted with the real state of the case. The Convention Is now published, and concluded be tween the Netherlands and Belgium for the construction of' a lateral canal near the Meuse, between the cities of Liege and Mae,tricht, which was ratified by the King of the Netherlands on the 20th, and by the K'ng of the Belgians on the 24th of July, 1845. The ratifications were exchanged at the 1-lague on the 31st of July. Letters have been received from the Villa Sominariva, which state that the climate does not agree with her Royal Highness Princess Albert of Prussia, and that Dr. Veh emeyen, her physician, has advised her to return to the Palace ofCamenz. where the cool and salubrious airs of the mountains of Silesia has always had a beneficial effect on her Royal Highness's health.

DUDLEY.—A dreadful colliery explosion, attended with loss of life, took place at a colliery near Tivi;lale, belong ing to Messrs. Wagstaff and Skidmore, on Monday last, by which seventeen men were se severely burnt that little hopes were at first entertained of the recovery of any of them, but we are happy to hear that several are now nut of danger. Seven of therm, however, still lie in a very precarious state, and two are since dead. It appears that 29 men and lads went down to work in the pit that day, but there not being room enough for all, six of them went up again, and amongst them one from whose neglect the explosion took place. It was the duty of this man, before the rest went into the works, to take a lamp and see if any foul air remained, and on the morn ing the explosion took place he took his lamp and went to the place, where there was a large quantity of coal down, which the men were going to get out, and on his return told them there was no danger, and then went up with five others. The men then went to their work, and as soon as one of them got on to the coal with his candle an explosion took place, which was followed by two others.• The scene was truly awful. Some of the men who had escaped the fire were not so fortu nate in escaping-the suffocating gas ; they had to walk through it on their way to the bottom, and often fell down from its effects. The excitement in Diviley was very great, as many of the men lived there, and the street was crowded with persons waiting to tee them brought to their homes.—Worcestershire Chronicle. witness proved too much, and there was a considerable dispa rity between their versions of the affair. The complainant assured the magistrate that he had neither abused the defendant nor attempted to strike him, and repeated that he was quite sober at the time. Mr. Gaines, who said he had not been engaged at the early part of the case, assured the bench that this was not the fact. On the contrary, he understood him to be a very well-conducted young man, and he had his employer and other persons to prove the fact. Mr. Robert Blaer, who described himself as the manager of the London Conveyance Company's omnibuses, said the de fendant had been in the company's employment about three months, and during that time had conducted himself very well. Mr. NORTON remarked upon the defendant's conduct as being most improper, but in consideration of complainant's recommendation, he should reduce the penalty to 3/. 108. and expenses, or six weeks' imprisonment. MARLBOROUGH-STRF;ET. • AFFILIATION CASES. -•••• Chariesßabrache, wine merchant, Opera-colonnade, was summoned before Mr. Hard ick for refus ing to support an illegitimate child, which had been sworn to him by Esther Rains. The mother said she lived servant in a house where the de fendant lodged, and the defendant, during the time she was in her place, attempted to take liberties with her. She, however, resisted his importunities for some time; but after quitting her place she met the defendant one evening, and he persuaded her to enter a public-house in Rupert-street, and an a club room, which was then unoccupied, he effected his purpose. This was the only occasion oa which she had any intercourse wi h the defendant. She proved enciente, and was in May last, delivered of a female infant. The defendant denied that he was the father of the child, or that he had ever taken improper liberties with the girl. He admitted that he had on one occasion taken the girl into a public-house, but it was only to treat her to some beer. Mr. HARDWICK, who had heard the case previously, and who had dismissed the information because the complainant, igno rant of the law, had come unprovided with corroborative evi dence, asked if the complainant was now prepared with any evidence in support of her statement? The mother said there was a young woman present who had seen the defendant give her money for the support of the child. This young woman was called forward, and she said she ac companied the complainant to the defendant's place of busi ness. She heard the young woman ask him for money to sup port his child ; he gave her half-a-crown then, and told her he would do no more for the child than the law compelled him to do. This witness was severely cross-examined to show that the half-crown had been given because the complainant said she was in distress, awl not for the maintenance of the child, but the witness maintained her statement without the least varia tion. Mr. HARDWICK said that the corroborative evidence in this case was certainly of the most meagre character. It rested principally on the testimony of the witness who deposed to the defendent paying money for the maintenance of the child. Unless it could be shown that this witness, who could have no motive for stating that which was untrue, had deliberately perjured herself, he must consider that a sufficient amount of corroboration had been proAuced, and he must make an order for 2s. 6d. a week on the defendant. The defendant, through his legal adviser, gave notice of appeal. Charles Butler, a tailor, 26, Little Windmill-street, was summoned for refusing to contribute towards the maintenance of a child, affiliated on him by Jane Hoare. The mother said she had been acquainted with the defendant when they were children. The defendant married some time ago, but he lived so unhappily with his wife that a separation took place. She went to work at his place at tailoring, and soon afterwards an intimacy commenced, the result of which was the child she had in her arms. fhe defendant declared he had never had the slightest im proper intercourse with the mother. The complainant's sister, a ♦ery decent-looking young woman, said she had more than once found the defendant in her sister's room at a late hour at night. She had also called in the morning, and had found the defendant there. She had remonstrated warmly both with her sister and with defendant at this proceeding. She had begged the defendant not to visit her sister, as she feared from his loose character that her sister would be ruined. The defendant said he called on the complainant: merely about work he had for her to do. Mr. HARDWICK said, if a master forgot himself so far as to visit constantly late and early one of his female workers, he must take the consequences of the inference that would natu rally be drawn from such a proceeding.—The order for 2s. 6d. a week was then made. ASSAULT ON A PROSTITUTE.—Richard Bateman, a well dressed man, who described himself as a surgeon residing in Albany-street, was fined 3/. for kicking, beating, and knocking out two of the teeth of Mary Fisher, a woman who had taken him to her lodgings in Riding House-lane, for the consideration of 10s., which be afterwards refused to pay. MARYLEBON E. RECKLESS CONDUCT OF LORD SANDON'S GAOOll. Yes terday Thomas Theobald, groom to Lord Sandon, was brought before Mr. Rawlinson, at the instance of Mr. Barker, the superintendent of the London and Birmingham Railway Com pany's police, to answer the following charge preferred against him under 3d and 4th Vict. cap. 97, commonly called Lord Seymour's Act. The 15th clause of the Act runs thus : " And be it enacted, that from and after the passing of this Act, every person who shall wilfully do or cause to be done any thing in such manner as to obstruct any engine or carriage using any railway, or to endanger the safety of persons con veyed in or upon the same, or who shall aid or assist therein, shall be guilty of a misdemeanour, and being convicted thereof, shall be liable, at the discretion of the Court before which he shall have been convicted, to be imprisoned with or without hard labour for any term net exceeding two years." Mr. Barker deposed that on the same morning the de fendant, who had horses in three boles, and a private car riage, belonging to Lord Sandon, on the nine o'clock train, was standing on the platform, and just before the engine was set in motion, witness desired defendant to take his seat in a second-class carriage, at the same time pointing out to him the one which he was to enter. He refused to comply, and walked to the farther end of the platform, when, after the train (consisting of no fewer than twenty-nine carriages) had moved on, and was in motion, the defendant made a sudden spring into a truck, the last on the train, and fell with great force upon his back. One of the Company's ser vants, named Watson, a "bank rider," and who was in the truck at the time, was thrown down owing to the violence with which the defendant came against him, and had they fallen over the side of the vehicle, both of whom would probably have been killed, Watson corroborated a great portion of Mr. Barker's state ment. Mr. RAwmwsoti ordered defendant to find bail for his ap pearance at the sessions, in the event of the London and Bir mingham Railway Company thinking fit to indict him. CHARGE OF ROBBERY IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.--MiSS Maria Williams, a smartly-dressed young woman, describing herself as a milliner, residing in Church -street, Brighton, was charged with having stolen a silk handkerchief, the property of Mr. Richard Chorley, of No. 25, Seymour-place, Bryan ston-square. Prosecutor stated that on the 'previous evening he came up by the Great Western Railway from Taunton, and on the train arriving at Bristol, the prisoner got into the car riage in which he was seated, when she took her place close to him, and leaned against his side. At about four o'clock in the morning, he had occasion to take from his pocket his handkerchief, and in a short time after wards he laid it on his knee. The train passed through a tunnel, and on its emerging therefrom he found that his handkerchief was gone. He questioned the prisoner, but she denied all knowledge of it, and he give her into custody as soon as the train reached Paddington, believing her to be the person who had committed the robbery. In reply to Mr. Rawlinson, prosecutor said that in the car riage in which he and the prisoner were there might, perhaps, have been from twenty-five to thirty other persons. Chillman, 13, Great Western Railway police, said that the prisoner, after being given in charge to him, was taken to the station-house and there searched, but the article alleged to have been stolen was not met with. The prisoner, who asserted her innocence, was discharged. She complained much of the treatment she had received, and intimated her intention of seeking redress. ARE HEARTHSTONES MANUFACTURED ?—John Gray, an itinerant dealer in hearthstones, was charged by Mr. Turton, Seymour-place North, Eu=ton-square, a shopkeeper vending the same description of article, with having sold hearthstones, the same nut being a " manufactured" article, without having a license to do so. Proof was given of the prisoner having received a trifle for some of his goods, which he had disposed of in Upper Baker street and Crawford-street. Complainant said he was compelled to take up the matter in self-defence, and he had contulted with the Stamp-office solici tor, whose opinion was favourable to his (complainant's) view of the case. In reply to Mr. Rawlinson, complainant said that hearth stones were cut from a quarry at Mersham. They were after wards " shaped," and, in fact, as sold to the public, were what might be termed a composition. Mr. RAwLstrsoN was of opinion that complainant had not proved his case, and the prisoner was therefore discharged. WORSHIP-STREET. ROBBERY AND SUPPOSED ATTEMPT AT INCENDIARISM, -- - - —Yesterday James Gadd, a smart-looking young fellow, aged 17, was finally examined before Mr. Bingham, the magistrate, upon a charge of stealing seven 51. Banknotes, four sovereigns, a silver hunting watch, and two gold pins, the property of Mr. Wm. Charles Spring, a builder, who lodges at the Clay Hall public-house, at Bow. A suspicious-looking light seen through the prosecutor's bedroom window about midnight on the 28th ult., while he was below in the bar parlour, led to an examination of the room, when he discovered that his desk had been broken open and robbed of the property, which he had seen safe about an hour before. At the same time quantities of burnt paper were found smouldering about the desk and table, and other quantities in the same condition in different parts of the room, which induced a belief that the thief had endeavoured to set tire to the room to cover the robbery. The prisoner had passed the landlord on the stairs with a lighted candle in his hand, upon pretence of going to the closet, and in reply to a ques tion he adrnitted•that he had been in the room in question, falsely alleging that he had been sent up by Mr. Spring him self. Presently afterwards, when sought for, he had absconded. William Bradley, a po li ce - consta b le of le D division, said he apprehended the prisoner in the Edgeware-road, on the 13th inst. He asked, while on the way to the court, what the wit ness thought would be done to him, and the witness replied that he could not po.sibly say, but it was a very serious case. The prisoner then said that Mr. Spring was wrong in charging him with stealing seven 5/ notes and four sovereigns, the fact being, he said, that he took only five 51. notes and two sove reigns; 271. altogether. The witness added that a letter was found on the prisoner, from which it appeared that he had in the interim been to Bristol, and there left a box, and it was conjectured that he might have deposited part of the stolen money in the box, as none of it was found upon him. The witness, therefore, went to Bristol by the magistrate's direc tion, but he found that the box referred to in the letter was mer. , ly a musical box, which he took possession of and pro duced. The prisoner, when taken, had in his possession a silver watch, an expensive cigar-case, some powder and shot, and a few shillings, but none of the stolen property. The prisoner was committed to Newgate for trial. A FEMALE DRUNKARD. —Murtha Fuller, a notorious drunkard, who has been numberless times before the magis trates, was placed at the bar. It appeared that in her cups, yesterday forenoon, she strayed into Shore-litch Church, ar.d made her nay to the pulpit, and, being handed down to the police, was conveyed to the H police station, but she was so frantically drunk that she tore all the clothes from her person, and reduced herself to a state of per feet nudity, and was brought befure the magistrate wrapped in a policeman's great coat. A constable was sworn to the fact of her having been con victed before, and the prisoner herself muttered that she had been in custody just one hundred and fifty-three times. Mr. BINGHAM consigned her once more to the House of Correction, and she was conveyed thither in a cab. TIM DIES.I FORGING SEAMEN'S ADVANCE-NOTES.- Yesterday a youth, named William Grant, of good appearance and ad dress, whose name was entered in the police•shect as William Robert. Herbert Grant, aged 17, was brought before Mr. Bro derip for final examination, charged with forging and uttering a great quantity of seamen's advance -notes for the payment of money. The offence charged against the prisoner has been very prevalent of late, and extensive frausls have been com mitted on slopsellers and others who are in the habit of cask. HE IVY CATTLE.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE PORTSMOUTH, THußsnay.—The Aigle, 21, Captain Lord Clarence Paget, arrived last evening from the Mediterranean station, twenty-one days from Gibraltar, bringing invalids from the squadron. She left at G braltar the Fantome, 16, Commander Sir F. Nicholson ; the Flamer steam-sloop, Lieu tenant-Commander Poetic , and the Spitfire steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Macdonald. Lord Paget landed last evening wi h his dispatches. The Aigle is ordered round to the eastward to be paid off, having been four years in commis sion. She sailed this afternoon for Chatham. She had not seen the experimental squadron. The Centaur steam-frigate, building, from the design of Sir W. Symonds, Surveyor of the Navy, at this dockyard, is nearly ready to leave the slip. The Scourge, another steamer by the Surveyor, is being fitted with a 13-inch mortar abaft. This vessel has never been tried with the usual armament of guns, which we believe, if mounted, would be useless ; without, however, endeavouring to ascertain what weight of armament is adapted to her caTa bilities, her constructor is having her fitted for a 13-inch mortar; this will displace three guns, and entirely fill up the wardroom. The trial of Porter's anchors against the Admiralty anchor is being proceeded with at Spithead, under the syperintendence of Captain Moubray, of the Victory, Commander Wilcox, of the Victory, and Mr. Charles Brown, Assistant-Master-Attendant of the dockyard. The trial will last so ine days, the weather of late having been very unfavourable. The Columbine yacht, the property of Mr. Smith Barry, in coming into harbour on the 6th inst., ran down a wherry con taining eight persons, including Charles Carr, the waterman and owner of the boat. All were immersed in the water, but were rescued from a watery grave by the promptitude of the hands on board the yacht and boats sent to their assistance. Carr, from his long immersion in the water, was exhausted when taken out, and confined to his bed after the accident until Monday last, when he died. An inquest was held yesterday before the borough coroner, when a verdict of Accidental Death was returned. In the evidence it was proved that every atten tion which humanity could dictate was paid to the sufferers by Mr. Smith Barry, who has behaved in a most liberal and hand some manner towards the widow of Carr and the other persons injured by the accident. DEVONPORT.—The Avenger steam-frigate, undocked on Monday, will proceed to-day in charge of Mr. Henderson, As sistant-Master-Attendant of this dockyard, to the river, to have her engines and machinery fitted. An inspector and ten shipwrights go in her to execute the shipwright-work con nected with fitting the engines, &c. The Calliope, 26, Captain Stanley, which sailed on Mon day, will proceed first to the Cape of Good Hope, thence to Auckland, New Zealand, and thence (should her service, not be required at New Zealand) to Hong-Kong, to join the squa dron under Rear-Admiral Cochrane, Commander-in-Chief. The Jackall, iron steamer, has been again brought into har bour, to undergo further alteration. Her masts and yards are to be reduced, and the paddle-boards to be " reefed," her last trial trip having exhibited the expediency of such alterations. In Harbour—The Caledonia, Bloodhound, Jackall, and Con fiance, steamers; Netley and Sylph, tenders; and the Camel, Tortoise, Sinbad, and Falmouth, navy lighters. Mr. William Bulford, layer and acting foreman of rope makers in this dockyard, is appointed foreman of ropemakers in Portsmouth dockyard, vice Parsons, deceased. Wootwicir, Ana. 21.—The Lightning s'eam-vessel, Mr. Petley, Master-Commander, has been placed under orders to be held in readiness to embark the Dowager Lady Grey, at Woolwich, on Saturday, the 23d instant, for a passage to Ostend. The Grampus, 50 guns, was taken out of the dock yesterday, and brought round to the basin to have her masts put in, and made ready for sea. This vessel was built in 1784, and yet is the admiration of all the naval officers who have seen her since she was razeed from a74to a 50-gun ship. A highly quali fied and experienced naval officer stated that he would prefer her under her present form to any modern vessel in the navy, as she sits beautifully on the water, and has ample room to work her guns on the broadsides as well as fore and aft. Her stern is rounded, and very handsome, and on the lower deck has four portholes for guns of large calibre. Mr. Lang, master-ship builder, has introduced a great improvement in the form of the porthole coverings on her broadsides, by making them in two pieces instead of one, which renders them equally strong, although only half the usual weight. when it is requisite to move them. The Grampus, when finished as a 50 gun frigate, will possess every quality, in the opinion of qualified judges, that is requisite in a man-of-war, without any of the doubtful qualities which have recently been the subject of so much discussion. The Gladiator new steam-frigate, built at Woolwich, has had her engines put on board at the East India Dacks, and was towed down the river by the Monkey steam-vessel on Tuesday to Woolwich, where she was taken into the basin, and will he ready for commission in a few weeks, The Baretto, jun., transport-ship, having arrived from ac companying the Arctic expedition sooner than was expected, has been placed under orders to convey the two companies of Royal Artillery under orders for North America to their desti nation at Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Dee steam-vessel, Master-Commander Driver, when ready for sea will be employed on some other duty. By letters from Quebec, ►t appears that the Apollo troop ship, Commander Radcliffe, had embarked the two companies of Royal Artillery ordered home from North America, and sailed on the 28th of July for England. Several invalid* are also on board the Apollo, and she is now daily expected in the river to disembark the companies of the Royal Artillery at their head-quarters at Woolwich. TRIAL OF CAPTAIN MANBY'S MORTAR. On Saturday afternoon several experiments of Capt. Manby's mortar took place at Yarmouth. Mons. C. P. Claudi, the superintendent of the eoast guard in Denmark, having been deputed by the Danish Government to visit England and to communicate with the British Government, with a view to adopt some means for the prevention of the loss of life which frequently occurs to a frightful extent on the rocky and dan gerous western coast of Zetland, the Government referred the lion. Gentleman to Captain Jerningham, inspecting comman der of the coast guard, as being able to afford the most efficient display, not merely of the machinery, but of the tact and talent of a body of men by whom the apparatus is most effec tively brought into play. Having inspected and grew ly ad mired the life-boats, Captain Jerningham was desirous of show ing Mons. Claudi the manner in which the mortar and rocket were used, and the readiness and method with which they were handled. The mortars and rocket apparatus having been brought to the water side, and Captain Jerningham, assisted by Lieutenant Digby, R.N., and accompanied by Mons. • Claudi, having arrived, posts were driven into the sand so as to form a small square, within which none but those concerned in the experiments were allowed to enter. The wind blew a stiff breeze from the N. W. , and Captain Jerningham fixed upon the space between a schooner lying in the offing and a buoy, both of which were nearly within range. The first experiment was with the large brass mortar, a piece weighing 1 cwt. 1 qr. 121 b., and of a calibre to carry 281 b. shot. This being placed at an elevation of 3$ degrees, was charged with 10 ounces of powder ; the shot was attached to a line of 1 inch size, and weighing 10A1b. the 100 yards. On the piece being fired, the shot flew straight. for the direction in which it was aimed, falling beyond the buoy and to leeward of the schooner, taking the line out of a range of 240 yards. The second trial was made with the old mortar, a large iron piece of greater weight and calibre than the brass piece. The charge was 16 ounces of powder, the elevation 33 degrees, and the shot and line the same as in the first fire. Unfortunately the line snapped at about 8 or 10 fathoms, and the shot flew an immense distance. Lieut. Digby said it had been complained that the iron mortar invariably broke her line. The third experiment was with the brass mortar, at an elevation of 36 degrees, with the same charge as before, and the same weight of shot and lime, which she carried with the same precision as at first. The fourth and fifth experiments were by fining in a northerly direction along the beach, when the brass mortar carried the line out about 210 yards. The iron mortar again broke the line, and discharged the line to a considerable distance, it falling on a hill not far from Caistor. There was a desire to have tried the rockets, hut the vtind blowing rather hard, and there being a great. many people scattered about the Denes, it was thought inexpedient. M. Claudi, who took great interest in the proceedings, and made notes of every :point connected with the experiments, ex pressed himself much gratified with the opportunity which had been afforded him of witnessing the trial of Captain Manby's apparatus. Those who take an inter..at in this venerable philanthropist will be glad to learn that, though eighty years of age, he is still living in the enjoyment of tolerable health at Southtown, and frequently visits Yarmouth. Those who have caught a glimpse of " The Royal Favourite" are of opinion that this bold and brilliant novel ought to have been dedicated to the Royal Yacht Club. 11I;;. Gore has done a better tning, perhaps, in dedicating it to her steady patrons—the public. We have been offered a key, or rather a clue to the plot. We confess we have a weakness for finding our own way through the labyrinths of a fashionable novel—more especially when, as in the present instance, the principal characters are so boldly drawn, and so notorious, as to render all exposition, save that of the author, superfluous. BOROUGH AND IV ATCH RATES.—An _Act was passed on the Bth ult. for the better collecting borough and watch rates. By the Munlcal Corporations Act, authority was given to the councils of boroughs in certain cases to levy borough rates, and also watch rates ; but it seems that the powers given have been found insufficient for the purpose. It is now provided that overseers for parts of parishes and places within boroughs may raise district rates, which are to be allowed and published. There is authority given to recover the rates so made, and persons on account of their poverty may be excused from payment. ILLNESS OF THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH.—The answer to inquiries in Portland-place, yesterday morning, was that his Lordship was net worse, but remained much in the same state as on Wednesday. The Right Reverend Prelate, we regret to hear, is labouring under an attack of erysipelas, but no immediate danger is apprehended. MELANCHOLY IifvENT.:LOn Monday, the 18th inst. about 1 o'clock, as the Hon. Granville Knox, accompanied by his friend Mr. Bryant, who are pupils of the Rev. B. S. Val. lack, of St. Bud.au, were bathing immediately under the little cottage on the Devonshire side of Saltash passage, the former, while walking into the water, lost his footing, owing to the sudden shelving of the bank, and got beyond his depth. Mr. Bryant rushed to his assistance, and held him up for some time by grasping hold of the hair of his head, but Mr. Knox having suddenly caught hold of and clung to Mr. Bryant so closely as to endanger his safety, he was obliged to leave the unfortunate young gentleman, who sank immediately. Mr. Bryant gave an alarm, and a waterman who was near the spot, groped with his paddle to find the body, but could not discover it; and though persevering exertions were made by the Salt. as‘.3 men, they were unsuccessful until the next day, when it was found accidentally at low water, on an oyster bank, about three-quarters of a mile from the spot of the melancholy casualty. The young gentleman, who was a son of Lord Rinfurly, was between 15 and 16 years of age, and was much beloved for his amiable disposition. He had only just returned from visiting his friends. ___ THE SVITALFIELDS WEAVEREI.—THE SILK ACT. — Last night, at eight o'clock, a crowded meeting of the board of silk hand-loom weavers of Spitalfieltis and its vicinity was held in the Hare-street School-room, for the purpose of hear ing the report of the deputation appointed to watch the pro gress of, and to introduce additional clauses into, a Bill first brought into the House of Lord s by L or d Lilford relating to silk weavers, and which Bill has now become the law of the land, the Act having made further regulations respecting the ticket of work to be delivered to the weavers ; Mr. Vendomme in the chair. Mr. Stewart, the secretary of the union, com municated the steps taken by the deputation by waiting on Lord Lilford and other Members of Parliament, in order to obtain the passing of the Bill, which he observed would be of the greatest advantage to the weavers. The report was unani mously received and adopted. HYDROPHOBIA..—A letter from Rochelle states that a respectable inhabitant of the town, Mme. Henri, the owner of an inn in the faubourg St. Eloi, has just died of hydrophobia. The dog, which some time back had bitten the Custom-house officer whose death has been mentioned in the Illessager, was in the habit of going into Mme. Henri's house, and playing with the cats. One of the latter, two months ago, bit her mis tress slightly in the hand, but the scar soon healed up. By chance, a few days ago, a person happened t o spea k b efore her of the Cust6m-heuse officer's death, and at once Mme. Henri was taken ill. It was found necessary to take her to bed, and soon after she became so violent that a straight-waistcoat was found requisite. She died on the 15th inst. in great agony.— French Paper.
