[The following appeared in our Third Edition of Saturdiy :---) FRAN CE. from Toulon, of the 7t,li instant, announces that considerable activity is observable in the dock yards of that port. The ship of the line Charlemagne has been armed, and the steam•frigate Napoleon is being prepared for sea with all haste. A dispatch bad been likewise received from the Minister of Marine, ordering the equipment of the new frigate the Sibylle. The receipts of the Orleans and Bordeaux Railway Company, from the Ist July last to the 6'h instant, amount to 3,144 462 f., being an increase of 186,857 f. as compared wi h the corresponJing period of the preceding year. M. de Lamartine, in the Pays, publishes an article under the head of " Legitimacy or Socialism," in reply to M. Emile de Girardin, who had declared that there was no choice left between the Legitimatists and the Socialists. We give an extract from the article of M. de Lamartine " The Presse asks, and the other journals interested in the separation of France into two parties, ask after that journal, what is there between legitimacy and so cialism? We reply boldly; there is almost the whole of France between the two; only that! There is the Republic, strong and moderate, which comes between, and will al ways come between, those unreflecting and irrecon cileable parties. There are humanity, country, reason, property, labour, the pe Tie in immense proportion, and in immense force. There are universal suffrage, the national representation, the Government, the army. There is everything which wants to live, and wants to have its posterity live, against all that wants to die, in dragging after it, in its fit of madness and suicide, coat!. try, family, children, and generations to come. That is what is between who y ou ca ll l eg i t imacy and what you call socialism, that is between two principles carried to their radical consequences, murderers of the country, of civilization, and of th ems elves. And why did the re public of reason, of necessity, and of pacification, which you applauded yourselves in crying out with one confidence, spring into existence on February 25? Preci3ely in order that France, fallen, all at once into revolution from the biindness and impotent rashness of the roan of monarchical coalition should not be enclosed within that dilemma of blood, legitimacy and socialism. It was in order that an elastic and pacific govern ment should promptly separate the armed parties, and should interpose prudence, the instinct of pre. nervation, and the generous character of i n t erest o f F ranco fur the madness of those radical factions, fur whim immolation alone would have been p-ace. And why did those admirable elections of 1848, effected under the iofluence of that unhoped fur wisdom which seizes on rat i • ma in ex vreme peril, repudiate en masse Socialists and Dagitim t.s s, to nominate a republican and n3odotrate re pre, eta ktion, courageous against all pas , ions, even against its own? It was that the question should be establishal be tween the country and the patriots, and not between two irreconcileable and desperate fictions of the coun ty. And why ,on M'ty 15 and in June, 1848, did the people hurry up to Paris from the provinces ? It was to fling themselves with the Assembly be tween these extreme and desperate parties who thirsted for combat when France, society, and reason desired peace. And why, in the election of December 10, did France, when she c0u1.4 have voied fur a So cialist or Legitamatist, vote for a name (dangerous I admit, but neutral), signifying precis-ly the contrary to what y o u say, that is, not siguitying either Legitimacy or Socialism, saying peace when you say war, concilia tion and no; hostiliq! And why did you yourselves more than any one aid in giving that signification to the election of the President of the R. public? It was in order that the GovErnment, representing France, should interpose with greater authority, greater popular favour, between these two extreme principles, which de sire to have a solution of civil war in the place of a so lution of harmony. M. de Lamartine concludes by an allusion to the logic of M. de Girardin. He says : " Ales, France has bad too much of this desperate logic. She has had the logic of royalty : the emigration and its follies. She has had the logic of revolution: the committee of public safety and its sciffolds! She has had the logic of war: the despotism of Napoleon and three millions of meu immolated to the ambition of one man! She has bad the logic of monarchical power without counterbalance: the revolution of 1830 and the fall of a race legitimated by trBdition 1 She has had the logic of resistance to re forms and the obstinacy of blindness: the revolwion of 1848 and the precipice of elective monarchy! She has had the logic of impatient proletarianism : the battles and the corpses of June, 1848! liould you give to her the implacability of parties? No, you do nut wish this, bu.t beware then of its conclusions." BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, APRIL 9.—A petition has lately been presented to the Chamber, relative to mercantile affairs, which will be of general interest to Germany. It appears that England is endeavouring, in an in direct way, to induce Belgium to give up the differential duty system, and thereby, as far as pos sible, to constitute Antwerp an English h irbour. Immediately after the introduction of the new Free Trade Bill into England, by which Belgian as well as other foreign goods would be admitted into Eng land free of duty, a Belgian ship from the Havannah, with a cargo of sugar, arrived at Bristol, and by an order from London was compelled to pay a duty of 20 per cent. The consequence was, that the English merchants desired their agents in the colonies and other countries not to ship their cargoes in Belgian vesiels. This produced so great an effect, that while the mercantile maritime trade of every other country with England had increased since January, 1850, that f Belgium had declined. The loss to Belgium is expected to extend still further upon Belgian pro duce, in consequence of toe reprisals to which the English Government is empowered. Immediately after the instance above given of the re-imposition of twenty per cent. customs' duty, the B-lgian Government remonstrated, and stated that, by the Navigation Act of 1849, this duty 134c1 been abolisiied ; but neither Lord Pdruerston nor Mr. Labouchere would see it in this light. These various facts induce the supposition that England wishes to force Belgium to the abolition of the differential duties. During the last few years the blockade of the northern ports has been injurious to the British maritime trade, and on this account it is desirous to have free ingress into Germany by way of Antwerp, and for this purpose to effect the abolition of the dif ferential duties. Such, at any rate, is the view taken of the q .. , stion at Antw e rp, an d t h e merchants, &c., of that city have accordingly petitioned the Chambers and the Government to take the question in hand, before Belgium shall be compelled thereto. HOLLAND. TETE HAGUE, APRIL 10 —The King has convoked the members of the First Chamber to meet on the 24th April. The British G wernmenf, through its ambassador at the Hague, hai presented a gold medal to Captain Von der Eb, o f t h e b r i g St. George n'Elmioa, for his philanthropic and noble con.luet to the crew of the British ship Norma, which was wrecked on the west coast of Africa. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal ) The important event of the week is the establishment, on a basis likely to prove pertnan.nt, of a Mining Ex change, independent of the Stook Exchange, and to which the members of the latter body can only have ac cess by the ministration of the former. Transactions in Mining Shares began in this new locality on the 7th instant, and daily a large amount of business has been done, comprehending, however, only the superior class of mines, whether dividend or prospective. A conserva tive power, should the objects contemplated by the new establishment be fully carried out in practice, will now be exercised over all really valuable mining property, to the discomfiture of mere sehemes, by whomsoever in troduced to public notice. Some brilliant discoveries of m ineral wealth have tak en p l ace in the eastern mining districts, of which full particulars will be gained by an attentive perusal of our columns. A remarkable in stance of rnibin,g success may be stated in the West Buller Sii•!res, for which, with 10/. on l y paid, 1,2001. per share had been offered and refused. In the metal market, English tin is very quiet. and foreign greatly d e pressed. A good busine ss d o i ng in Copper. Lead is active, and a parcel of h ard Spanish has been sold to arrive.

Consols, Cornwall, At Care Bret Mines, in the 10 fathom level, east from Miner's shaft, at Burncoose, a course of copper has been cut worth 301 per fm. At Wheal Agar. they are reported to have a course of ore worth about 60/. per fathom. We find we understand the amount of dividends made at North Pool (en error at all times on the right aide); this arose from our not being in possession of the divi dend acmunt for 1848—viz : •115/. per 1 00 th s h are , 1 11,5001; which being add e d to our statement of 2751 . per Flare, 27,5001.; makes 39,0001„ the real amount divided, Lewis Mines continue to progress most favourably ; the proePods of black tin from Ist May, 1850. to end J,to. 1851, .ara,iunted to 14,104/.

They have recently discovered a copper lode in the 20 fm. level, from which there are great ex pectations. The tin ground never looked better; they expect to sample 30 tons.. At the Union Tin Smelting Company's meeting, on Wednesday, the usual dividend, at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, was declared. At the United Mines meeting, on the 4th instant, it was resolved that the proposal made by Mr. Michael Williams, respecting t he purchase of shares at th e p r i ce of 801. each, should be lett to the decision of each indi vidual adventurer. Mr. Richard Taylor reported that the mines were drained to the 208 fm, level, and work ings continued to this dite, without any improvement in the prospect of the mines. At Wheal Prudence meeting, on the Ist instant, the accounts showed-Balance of last account, 571. 12s. Bd.; Oct. cost, 23/. ss.

At a special general meeting of adventurers in Praed Consols, on Monday, a call of 10s. per share was made, and it was the opinion of the meeting that an engine should be shortly erected. At Wheal Arthur meeting, on Thursday, the minutes of the previous one were confirmed, and the report of the committee submitted, which was received with much satisfaction. A call of ss. per share was made. At North Buller general meeting, on Tnursday, the report stated that the call in JAnuary last, and the money previously in hand, amounted to 1,309/. 15a. 4d., and there had been expended 1,281/. is. 2 . d., leaving a balance in hand of 281. 14s. 2d.

JAMES'S LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY. A public meeting was held at Willis's Rooms, on Wednesday evening, for the purpose of promoting the establishment of an institution under the name of the St. James's Literary and Scientific Society, which has already received very influential support. The Earl of CARLISLE, who occupied the chair, was received with general applause. He said, I believe I ought, in the first place, rather to account for finding myself in this distinguished position, as I do not make out that I have any very peculiar title to it. All I can say upon that head, how ever, is that I was invited to take it by those whose in vitation I looked upon as an encouragement and almost as a command.—(Cheers.) I feel, however, that I ought to justify this act, both to you and to myself, and with that view I must consider what is the nature of the occasion which brings us together. And first, with re gard to the locality in which and for which it is intended to found a literary institution. I find, in the papers which have been put out, that this locality is to comprise the parishes of St. James, St. George, St. Martin, and St. Ann. I call them parishes; but in point of extent, of wealth, and of im portance, they are, in fact, equivalent, each of them, to many both ancient and modern capitals. Within their precincts are the residences of a large proportion of those who constitute the most wealthy, the most educated, and the most powerful classes of what we may, without un due pretension, call the foremost people of the world— (C,,eers)—the residences of statesmen and warriors, whose lives make history; of beauties, who, if we credit the same history, often make a great deal of underhand history themselves; or authors, of whom I shall name only one, because I think you have most wisely made him president of this institution—Mr. Macaulay. —(Cheers.) And, indeed, I feel that he ought now to be:filling the place which I unworthily occupy. The only thing that is any compensation to his not being here is the hope that he is more engaged upon that work, not of acting but writing history, which bids tair to make his name immortal.—(Cheers.) These parishes to which I have referred comprise, in fact, a main portion of the business, the fashion, the govern ment, and the empire of this country. They abound in all the pulses of our vast civilization. They are filled with every thing which can mini.ter to the com. for. the use, or the luxury of those who inhabit them ; with houses more conspicuous perhaps, fur the complete ness of their internal arrangements than for their exterior architecture (lilt. ly to be the case with nations who, as ourselves, prefer luxurious privacy to outward show)— with shop s wh ose g l it t er i ng varieties will, in any sea son, furnish in thems. Ives an exhibition get the industry of all nations—(Cheers)—with club-house , built upon the scale and with more than all the comforts of palaces. And this brings me to the point to which I particularly wish to call your attention. These nib houses, with their luxuries and their reading rooms, are provided fur the wealthy and easy classes of society; but we wish to communicate and extend the same advantages, not to these who are accommodated in spacious and luxurious houses, not to those who are surrounded with all the resources and appliances of wealth, who may haze any number of newspapers on their breakfast tables, or may send to t h e next b ookse ll er or the next circulating library for any work or publication they have a fancy to read, but to those who can only pro cure these advantages by steady and combined efforts— advantages which the benefits of wealth make the ex clusive enjoyment of others.—(Cheers.) And I would ask, is there nothing in the character of the population of these parishes which makes it peculiarly fitting and appropriate that such aids and appliances should be afforded them, comprising, as they do, a very great uumber of young men, some of them engaged in those respectable and wealthy firms which have a greater number of persons in their employment than the feudal establishments of ancient barons, and a quantity of most ingenious and intelligent artisans and mechanics, who certainly are not debarred by any want of capacity from almost any amount of mental cultivation ? Then are there not peculiar dangers and temptations to which people who constitute such classes are liable ? Now I believe, gentlemen, that idleness is one of the most trying, as well as the most irksome conditions to which human natur e i s su bj ec t. Ambition, passion, covetousness may lead to a thousand excesses, to a thou sand follies, to a thousand crimes; but, at least, they en gross and employ the faculties of the mind and of the soul. But idleness is like that state of the garnished house into which, being void of any tenant itself, all other demons may enter and take up their abode there, and make the state of that man worse than any of those under their separate mastery. Now, Ido not want to prescribe to you—l should be very ill-qualified and little warranted to do so—what pursuits, what amusements may be innoc en tly an d bl ame l ess ly p ursue d . B ut, as to th i s, I thi n k a ll must agree w i t h me t h at t h ere are i n this overt ewirg town many facilities and temptations to wrong about which there can be no dispute. There are ale-houses and tavern-orgies, and more refined, perhaps, but not less dangerous seductions, into which men may fall, not from a d e l i b erate purpose, not from any practised depravity, but from the tedium of the ut!empl.iyed hours, and the void of the unoccupied mind.—(Cheers.) A that which will have a And direiCt i t s en t d o e r nn t y his to th etn at o w iy e t a e n n d de to r interest the mind, and, at least, a possible tendency to refine and to ennoble it. You will hear the exact details and the precise plan of o p erat i on proposed, if there shall be good will and energy hero an d i n these pa rise es su ffi cient to justify the fermatien of such an institution. You will hear the proposed details and plan from those who have tak en an active part in setting on foot this laudable and public-spirited un dertaking. It is intended, if prepe r support shall be afforded fr om without, to procure suitable premises_ a reading-room, where the best newspapers, reviews, an d other periodical publications will be taken in; a library, for woks of more hulk and more pretension ; a l ee . tore-room, where lectures upon proper subjects will be delivered by approved and competent l ecturers and as well as this, it i s intended to open cla ses for the different branches of useful knowledge, such as drawing or chemistry, or other pursuits which heave a tendency to interest men and to improve the stock of valuable knowledge. Now, gentlemen, it has been said by a poet whom I should be the last to und ervalue . that "a ous thing." s e stop here to disease, little learning ould i ndicate? Is it -- _,PP"sing this to be true, which I a will nut ' that hat we is sh th o e uld co h u a r v Be e n " o 'h learn ing at all? I think that would be a dangerous thing, but I blow* mad I atu glad to WAY, that it is an impossible thing. I bzlieve there is no one class in this country which will be content to o 0.-e it laid down diet they s, cot have any ti:nq at ail. I believe there is no class or socet-t - of men who wi ll p u t up with rd-ct, *;l*-* appurtenance of the wealthy an d t h e high-born, of a titled aristocracy, of privileged places of education; it may dwell among the leafy bowers and quiet waters of the infant Isis, but when those waters broaden into the life and business of the imperial Thames, it must no longer mix with the expanding stream; it may inhabit pale cloisters, arid feed the contemplation of robed doctors and capped students, but it must not come into the cur rent of daily life, into oar marts of business, into our streams of busy concourse. I believe, gentlemen, one and all of you will put aside this ignorant policy, and will assert that, as no longer is there any mo nopoly of the food of the body, so also no longer shall there be any monopoly of the food of the mind. —(Rithusiastic cheers.) It', then, a little learning is a dangerous thing, and if no learning at all is happily out of the question, then the only course of teasibility and of safety before us seems to be, to take the best means in our power to make that little learning larger, and to see that the learning which is ignorant of its own littleness, which is apt to be conceited and puffed up and presuming, and therefore dangerous, be taught, by timely and wholesome growth and educa tion, to supplement, and to steady, and to protect it self. I am sure that I need not remind an audience so intelligent as this—remembering the class of persons for whom this institution is proposed to be set on foot—l need not remind them that not even any amount of individual study or diligence can succeed in making them all prodigies of learning or miracles of ge nius. If the poet Gray could have called from their turfy heaps all the rude forefathers of the hamlet, he would not have expected that they all could have been set down by him as a village Hampden a mute and inglorious Milton or a guiltless Cromwell. It wilt be, indeed, a proud dis tinction for this proposed institution, if it should even be the means of eliciting such an amount of genius as to leave an impress on the literature and science of the country, teach some new truth to philosophy, or add a new string to its lyre.—(Cheers.) It is the more limited object of our ambition to atnrd to all—es pecially to those whose lives are engrossed with the drudgery of labour, or distracted with the clatter of this busy, heaving, steaming life around us—the means of innocent recreation, of refined employment, of useful and ennobling instructions.—(Loud cheers.) It is, as I have already intimated, intended that in this institu tion encouragement and facility shall be given for the ht bit of literary and scientific pursuits. Now, with very little pre ensiuns to hold forth upon either science or literature—as to science, I feel I am not en titled to say a word; but adverting for a moment merely to one which perhaps holds the noblest place in the whole family of sciences—if Sir Henry de la Becht will excuse me for what lam saying—with reference to the noble science of astronomy, I cannot help gaming a very brief extract from a statement, lately taken under my notice, and which seems to me to express most forcibly, and in a popular manner, how the ascertained truths of that sciencv, so far tran , cending worst could be imagined or guessed at, have now become the property of multitUdes. This is the extract to which I allude :—" Our own lunar satellite turas monthly on its own axis, and revolves simultaneously round the , earth, and again sweeps with the earth in a vast , naval circle round the sun, and with the sun itself careers with the whole stupendous solar system round , another prodigious stellar centre. Let us take the ex treme diameter of our planetary system and try to form some notion of the distance represented by three thuussnu millions of miles, and when we have altogether rattled, let us acknowledge, as we must, that even this incomprehensible extension into sp .ce is en inadequate unit of measurement for meeting the stellar distacces as we see them scattered about on a fine evening like a careless profusion of gold dust on the dark purple of the skies." Now by the side of this transcendent revolution, I feel that human literature must seem at first sight to pale its pretensions and to droop its wings. But, as ever atter the con templation of the loftiest architecture of the heavens, or the most brilliant embroidery of the earth, or the most solemn subli nities of the sea, still upon the human eye and the human soul the form and face of human beauty will exercise their moat potent witchery, so also the promptings of human emotion and the utterances of human genius will ever strike home to the heart of man.—(Cheers.) Perhaps some of you may feel inclined to avail yourselves of the pro. posed classes of language, and to master for yourselves the abundant treasures of style, thought, and fancy which the other nations of Europe have amassed for themselves. But still, in our own Saxon language, you will all be able to appropriate to your selves, to say nothing of our vigorous and noble prose, the universal and unparalleled opulence of Shak.pere, the sacred harmony of Milton, the gentle fancy of Spenser, the nervous energy of Dryden, the faultless brilliancy of Pope, the eagle flight of Gray, the tender flow of Goldsmith, the moral dignity of Cowper —not to go lower in the list, because controversy may arise with respect to more contemporary prepossessions. Such, then, are the mere glimpses and dashes of the pur suits, whether scientific or literary, to which we will often invite you. There are two points in connexion with this institution which have mainly encouraged and induced me to support it. Oae is—and if it were otherwise I feel I must have kept quite clear of it—the one is, that it lays down no exclusion in respect of differencesin religious connexion or opinion. The other is, that Iknow it has engaged the sanction and active sup port of a minister of religion so exemplary and judicious as the rector of the parish of St. James, and his agency will be a guarantee that it will not be allowed to take any improper or questionable direction. Now, gentle men, having addressed a few words both to science and to literature, I do not propose to give any to the support of religion. These lips have no special privilege for so high a theme. It is assuredly not because I undervalue its importance, but as I should consider the religion which will oppose or thwart the growth and diffusion of science or of literature as traitorous to her own claims and suicidal to her own existence, so by watching, guarding, and directing their course, she may impart to each of them a portion of her own divinity; and with the fervent hope that your proposed institution will move steadily forward under the combined influence of science, liters ure, and religion, I thank you for the mtention you have given me, and now, I coefilently leave the subject in your hands.—(The Noble Chairman resumed his seat amidst the vehement cheers of the assembly.) Dr. L;ANKESTER read a report and the rules of the proposed inbtitution. On the motion of Sir HENRY DE LA BECHE, it Wes resolved to found the society, and, as a coasequence. other resolutions f )Ilowf,d explanttory of its scope and principles; artyr which th- upeting separated.

FLAG LIEUTENANTS.—It is reported that in the event of Admiral Sir John Ommanney, K.C.8., baking his fl tg at the main at Devonport, he will nominate the son of his old friend, Mr. F. P. Warren, as his Flag Lieute nant. In that case Lord John flay, the nephew of the Commodore Superintendent, will become Flag Lieute nant to his uncle at Devonport Dockyard. SURVEYING SERVICE.—The Admiralty have ordered Commanders Otters and Smith to resume their active surveying services in the Comet steam•vessel. on the west coast of Scotland. The Comet, in charge of Mr. Yule, the master, has latterly been employed under the orders of Sir J. M'Neile, the Poor•law Commissioner of Edinburgh. __ LIEUTENANT VIGORS OF THE STH Fusiumns.--As we published the finding and sentence of a court-martial which tried this officer, for refusing to pay the funeral expenses of his late wife, leaving it to the officers of the garrison to raise a subscription with that object, we think it only due to Lieutenant Vigors to state that it appears from an authenticated letter, in a Mauritius paper, that he had good grounds for the refusal. Mrs. Vigors had, it appears, forsaken the protection of her husband for that of another officer, with whom she was living at the time of her death; and whatever wish Lieu tenant Vigors might have had to forget his grievances in the hour of death, and pay those funeral expenses, he was prevented doing so by the strict injunctions of his legal adviser, one of the ablest and soundest lawyers prucfi.ing in the colony." THE COMMANDER-IN• CHIEF AT BRAZILS.--It is re ported that R.ar-Admiral Rey nolds, , C. 8., the Com mander-in-Chief of the South East Coast of America station, has intimated a desire to be relieved as soon as convenient to their L irdahips. Numerous candidates are already in the field for the appointment, and among them Rear-Admiral Purvis, who some years since com manded on that station as Commodore. Rt•ar-Admiral Reynolds, it is well known, proceeded to the Bravls from the Cape Station, but will not have had his flag hoisted for three years until August next. HORRIBLE ATROCITY.—CARRIC, APRIL 9.—On Sunday night five fellows forced an entrance into the house of a man n a m e d N as h, o f C ast letown. Nash received a day or two previ, us some money from a son of his, who is in America, whi c h t h e t hi eve , expected to come at. Having entered the house they placed Nash on his knees, and threatened him with death if he did not give up the money. He assured them it was not in the house. Failing in this the wretches made a fire of s'raw, and placed Mrs. sash over it, and kept her in that position until burnt in a shocking manner. A servant.maid got out through a window and called some neighbours, who went to give assistance, but ere they arrived the fellows had decamped, without their booty. Clonmed Chronicle.

Accordingly I applied to a stiffer of birds. who said be had no doubt his son could obtain a pair. " They are," said he, very prolific. They lay in the old nests of the magpie and crow, and have young ones in the nest whilst they keep laying afresh; so that the young owls help to hitch their brothers and sisters, which pr om i se d t o b e goo d wh Ist the old ones ar e prowling abo u t f or f oo d." Hi s son procured a pair of y oung owls, mousers, but the ca re l e ss boy left th em i n t h e att i c, w i t h only a small supply of liver to feed them. They did eat what was left for them, but. being very hungry, the stronger bird killed his brother, eat him up, and afterwards died him self; so 'hat I was disappointed in supplying the lady with a pair of owls.—A l a dy i n London had an owl, which b e i ng t rouirlit into the p ar l our , she said, "He look s ver y grave, poor fellow, he is like a judge." So she c lied bim Lord Eldon. A day or two after the servant came into the par. lour, saying to her mistress, before the company, "Please, ma'am, Lord Eldon has laid en egg." There had been, no doubt, a slight mistake in the sex of the owl. TIM TURNPIKE-GATE NUISANCE.-- On Thursday Morning a numerous meeting of the rate-pavers of St. Mary, Whitecharl, - was held in the Vestry Hall, adjoining the church, on the subject of the toll• bars now existing in that parish; the senior churchwarden, Mr. Hussey, in the ch4r. After considerable discussion, it was resolved to oppose any at tempt to continue the p esent trust or the tran-fer of their powers to any other, but that it was highly desirable that the existing toll-gates should be abolished, and the roads be repaired by the parishioners. A PROMISe. —A ptotniff' should be given with caution and kept with care. A promise should be made by the heart and remembered by the head. A promise is the offspring of intention, and should be nurtured by recollec tion. A promise and its performance should, like the scales of a true balance, always present a mutual adjust ment. A promise delayed is justice deferred. A promise neglected ia #n untruth told. A promise Attended to le a debt paid, APRIL l4, 1851.

A N S'ION- O r S 'ln answer to the complaint respecting the imperfect condition of the weighing 01Pd:tine, it was stated that the defendant had lately expended a large rum in having it repaired. His WORSHIP observed that as the defendant had pleaded guilty, it was unnecessary for the inspector to , state further particulars. Mr. HENRY said—There is no doubt that a very gross fraud has been practised, and it was clearly the duty of the Master of the Household to bring the defendant here to answer for it. Although an ingenious excuse has been urged by the Learned Counsel that the fraud was occasioned by the neglect of the servants of the defendant, whose serious affliction has for some time prevented him from personally superintending his business, still the fact must be borne in mind that he (the defendant) was the gainer by the fraud practised. The servants derived no advantage from it, and I do not think tbat they would have done it, if they had not been aware that the practice was sanctioned by their em• ployer. At any rate, the defendant is responsible for the consequence of his servants' acts, since he has bene fited by them. I think the ends of justice will be served, however, in this case, without requiring the full amount of penalty to which the defendant is liable under the Act of Parliament. I will take into consideration the loss of a very valuable connexion which he has enjoyed for many years, and which will be the very natural con sequence of this discovery. But, while I abstain from inflicting the full penalty—namely, 8001., I must fix such an amount as will serve as a caution to others in the trade. The defendant is liable to a fine of Si. for every deficient sack in each waggon; but, taking all the cir cumstances into consideration, I am disposed to limit the penalty to 51. for five sacks in each waggon— amounting, in all, to 1001.—and 51 for not having a proper weighing machine. Although I have acted with leniency in . fixing the amount of penalty, I desire, on public grounds, to express my entire satisfaction with the course taken on this occasion by the Master of the Household. The defendant was then fined 105/ and 105. costs. W OR SHIP-STREET. William Ifempster was charged with the following un provoked outrage upon Mr. William Holly, a confec tioner at Kingshuid. The complainant, whose face was terribly contuse and basidsged up with adhesive plaister, stated, that oh the preceding afternoon be and a friend of his, named Robinson, adjourned to a public-house for the comple tion of some business they had been transacting tow- ther, when a sudden disturbance took place in the tap room, and the prisoner, who appeared to have been co— ducting himself in such a scandalous manner as to render his forcible expulsion necessary, was thrust out by some of the persons inside; and, rushing upon the witness, who was engaged in conversation with his friend, and had not before even seen him, felled him to the grount; by such a terrible blow in the face that the fish above one of his eyes was laid completely open, the blood gushed out over his clothes, and he was obliged to be supported to the shop of a neighbouring surgeon, under whose care he remained a considerable time before he recovered sufficiently to return to his own residence. The prisoner then attempted to effect his escape, bu , was forcibly held by several of the customers until a constable could be procured, when, upon M`Carthy, of the N division, making his appearance, the prisoner commenced an outrageous attack upon him also, struck him two violent blows on the forehead and face, and it. was not until the assistance of several other officers was obtained that he was at length overpowered and dragged to the station. This statement was fully confirmed by the evidence of the constable and the complainant's friend, Mr. Robinson; and, the prisoner having pleaded intoxica tion, with an expression of regret for the injuries he had inflicted, Mr. Alarm'. sentenced him to pay a penalty of 3/. for the assault upon the complainant, or in default to undergo six weeks' imprisonment in the House of Cor rection, and a second penalty of 20s. for his attack upon the constable, or in default to undergo three weeks' im prisonment, the second to commence at the expiration of the first. Neither of the penalties was paid, and the prisoner was therefore removed in the van. William and Susannah Woodward, husband and wife, the former a stereotyper, surrendered in discharge of their recognisances, to answer a charge preferred against them by an elderly woman named Evans of having stolen a deed of trust, or power of attorney, and other legal documents representing property to the amount of 103,0001._ It was intimated by Wren, the officer who appre hended the prisoners, that the prosecutrix was not then in attendance to carry the case any further, and Mr. HAMMILL therefore said that he should not con sider himself justified in detaining the embed any longer, and, as no fresh evidence had now been adduced which tended any more to support such a charge against them, he should order them at once to be liberated. CLERKEIV WELL. Two elderly gentlemen and an elderly lady entered the court in a state of excitement, to solicit the advice and assistance of the magistrate under the following ex traordinary circumstances Otte of the gentlemen, addressing Mr. Tyrwhitt, said that the lady and gentleman who had accompanied him to the court resided in St. Mary's-road, Canonbury square, Islington (the name was not mentioned). A lady, possessed of considerable property, had lodged in their house +or some time past. She was upwards of 80 years of age, and was on the point of being married. Her intention. however, reached the ears of her dau2h- ter, who resided in Belgium, and it would appear that she had a fix-d determination to put a stop to the mar riage. On Friday afternoon the lady alluded to went out with the elderly lady now present to take a walk before dinner, and on passing through Canonbury ,quare, a cabriolet, No. 1,025, drove up, when the daughter of the lady opened tin' door. jumped nut f the vehic'e, and, being a powerful young person, she seized her mother, and, forcing her into the cab. orde , ed the driver to go on, when he whippsd the horse and galloped off, leaving the wife cf applicant's triend behind in a state of }Hein and agitation. Tbis extraordin4ry pro ceeding took place under a plea that the old lady was insane, which was not the tact, an that quws►ion had been four times investigated, and she was proved to he of sound intpllecr. Mr. Ma llett, the clerk, here asked whether the mother resisted—did she scream or cry tut?—The lady presuit replied, that she made no resistance whatever, but alloyed herself tamely to be put iato the cabriolet. Philip LzionF, Solomon ,{,rims, and S.srah Tipmv, brouglir, before the I,ord char;.;ed, with having had in his poi6e6bion 3'331 yards of silk which had been stolen, and the two others with having received the property, well knowing that it had been stolen. The two latter prisoners were also charged with having received five new coats which had been stolen. Mr. Humphreys said he appeared on behalf of Mr. Attenb :rough, the pawnbroker, whose premises bad been broken open on the night of the 3 lost of March, or the lst of April, and plun&red of a quantity of valuable property which had bi en I .tr in ple A person. who had been seen in the neighbourhood where the robbery was committed, had ben, on the subsequent day, appri— hehded and examined as one of the persons concerned, but was discharged from want of evidence. One of the City police, howe‘er, in consequence of information which he had received, called at Lyons's house, and found wrapped up in a counterpane, and shaped like a bed, a large quantity of good., which were now identi fied as part of the property which had been stolen from Mr. Attenborough. The possession of the silk was ac counted for in the evidence, which would clearly trace it to Solomon Hyams and his wife, by whom it had been conveyed to the house of Lyons. The evidence was then gone into at some length, after which the prisoners were remanded. BOW-STREET. _ _ _ Jonathan Marchant, an aged man and totally blind, carrying on business as a coal-merchant in the Adelphi, and residing at 41, Gerrard -street, Soho, appeared to answer five summonses charging him with having sup plied coals deficient is weight at Buckingham Palace, and thereby defrauded her Majesty, and also with carrying an improper weighing machine. It appeared that the quantity of coals ordered was twenty tons; that there was a deficiency in the weight of nearly every sack in each of the four waggons, and that the total deficiency was about two tons. Mr. Huddlestone, for the defendant, stated that he was consulting the wish of his client as well as bis own discretion, in pleading guilty to the charges preferred against Mr. Merchant by the Master of her Majesty's Household; but although he adopted this course, he (rusted he should be able to satisfy the Court that the defendant, while legally guilty, was morally innocent of the offence imputed to him. The defendant was seventy years of age, and for the last three years, had been afllcted with the total lo.is of his eyesight. In his absence the business had been intrusted to a young man named Isaacs, distantly related to him by marriage, and it was to the neglect of the wharf clerk and men employed under him that he owed his present painful position. His client had carried on his business for upwards of 45 years, during 17 years of which he had enjoyed the proud distinction of supplying the Palace coals; and during the whole period had never had the slightest complaint made against him by the cos• turners whom he had served, or the least reproach cast urn his character. James Isaacs, jun., whom the Learned Counsel then exateintd, stated that he had attended to the business of the defendant for several years pa4t, owing to the calamity which had befallen Mr. Merchant, and which had prevented his taking any part in the management of the trade. On the 4th of April an order for 20 tons of coal was receivr d from the Palace. Witness gave direc tions to the wharf clerk to see them properly weigh , d, partly from the wharf and partly from the warehouse stock. The coals in the warehouse are usually lighter than the wharf stock, as the latter is often wet. Wit ness's father was the wharf clerk who ought to have obeyed these directions. He was related to the de tendant, and had been put into his situation at a time when, through a failure in busines-, he was out of em • ployment. Neither witness nor his father had any in terest in the business. except as servants of the de fendant, who had no partner. The price of the coal, served to her Majesty was 255. 6d. per ton, at from six to nine months' credit, being a fair market price. James Isaac, sen., confirmed the statement of his son, and attributed the deficiency in the weight of the costa to the neglect of the men, who failed to attend to his orders. It was the duty of witness to superintend the weighing of the coals personally, but he neglected to do this, trusting to the men, and wishing at the time to at tend to some other business which required his attention before the return of the tide. In reply to questions from the Learned Counsel, both the witnesses stated that the defendant had supplied the Palace with coals for seventeen years, and had always telt the greatest pride in the honour thus conferred upon him. The applicant continued, that they could not tell ex 'me El EO, , 11;,;"I' sne te.,s driven to the 3lAckfriars. to a lunatic a,ylarn, or by r.dway to Dover, tor the purpose of conveying ter to Bei 4itun. *uip , cto I that Mr. TYRwairr remarked that it was a very extra ordinary proceeding; it was rather strange that the lady present did not cause an alarm, so that the persons might have been pursued. He should have thought that two h, arty, stout-looking persons like the appli cants, on hearing of the cmcomitsoceq, would hive acted with more prompittud• , and sent ciffiv.-)at,c-s in all ni4 to ovrrlak, and stop the cabri,l.-t. Applicant—i3ut, Sir, is va, =h* Nock ~ f nrw t, and th.• tahriolet Alas out of sight instat:ter. The old lady wac quite i,fi,o2. Mr. I:YRWHITT inquired what their obj Pet was in applying to him on the subject? Applicdut—To re quest p.ur advice and assistance under the peculiar cir cumstances of the affgir. Could we not bring her before your Worship. If w. find her. Mr. TYRWHITT—You can apply f r a habeas corpus. There is a jud 4 e sitting at Sereant's-inn. You can apply to him. and if the old lady was t,lcen away against her will, and she is willing to return to you, you can take her. Applicant—lf they have taken her to Dover, in order to send her to the Continent, will they stop and detain her if I send a telegraphic communication? Mr. TYRWEITT- 2 -Certaioly, you can do that ; give a description of tier person, and state all the circum stances under which she was taken away, and they will stop her. Applicant said he would immediately adopt that course, apply to a judge for a habeas corpus, and inquire at the lusiatic asylums. The old lady, he ad led, was quite willing, indeed anxious, to get married to the gentlema❑ she had chosen as a p inner for life, and the sudden ap pearance of her daughter in London was quite unex pected, and they were certain that she was taken off without her consent. Mr. TYRWHITT said he could render them no as , sistance. Applicant—lf we find her, shall we not be justified in giving her into the custody of a policeman? Mr. TYRWHITT left them to exercise their judgment and discretion 4 n that head, when they thanked the Bench tor the patient attention affurd,d them, and lett the court. THAMES. ALLEGED CASE CF MYSTERIOUS ABDUCTION AND VIOLATION.—This being the day appoin ed for the ro be tring ot the charge ot abduction and vi elation pre ferred against a young man, William Day, late barman to Mr. Dean, 100, Curtain-road, brioreditch, the court was crowded to excess owing to the strange and myste rious facts which wwre elicited on the previous inquiry. Ann Harriet Newman, the young wom in who has so nearly fslien a victim to the gross and tad,d appetites ot old debauche-!e, is daughter to a rope -maker residing at 8, Manning-street, Limetn , use. She has hitherto borne a most excelleutcharscter as a hard working, industrious young woman. remarkable for her strict integrity, and her close application to a business as a sempstress. Though still eufeebied fr.im toe drugs and rough treat ment to which she had been aubj cted, the se3ount which she gave of this tn.trartous transaction on th e ea _ cone incinirY wa• more clear an i collected than her firtt confused statement. By what transp.rid from her lengthened examination it would appear that she hsd been taken ►o some house at the west t•nd. The room in which she found herself when awskeniniz trim the trance into which she was thrown by the drug applied to her fsce in the cab was a spacious back parlour. The young woman who informud her that she was in a bruthel, acid who furnished hi.r with a knit'. to defend h , rs-IP, was tall an.i g.od-lookinw, dresbe. , is black silk, with white cuff-3, and wore a watch end chain. On giving her the knife, and telling her to defend herself, she also informed her that the per son who brought her to the place in the cab had 3/. for doing so. Witness was of opinion she should know this young woman again, and els° the oil woman who compelled her to drink the liquet, which had a spirituous taste. The la ter, who was about seventy year. of sg. , was dr.-seed in a rich fa en caloursd satin, and wore a very fls.hy cap. It was after she Was compelled to drink the liquid that the three gentlemen cease int., the room. On seeing them the witness, though very weak, got up rem the sofa on which she had been ly lug, when the old woman told her she must make up her mind to stay all night, and she should have all she wished fur, to which witness reple d that she did not want anything, and brandishing the knife cried out, " I must go away, and Ido not care where or whom I strike." Sbe then made her way to the hall, which was well lighted with a large lamp, but was pursued by the gentlemen and was secured after wounding one of them in the hand. They succeeded in getting her back to th- room, and the one she had wounded threatened to have her bands tied with a cord, and thrust her into the cellar, but she still resisted. Two of the gentlemen were ad vanced in years, and the third was about thirty. One of them then tried to force her up stairs to a bedroom, saying she must pass the night with him, but she s'aeamea so loudly that they b , gan to be alarmed, and forced her back to the parlour, where they tried what bribery would do, and a haadsosee watch with e, gold chain was flung round her neck, but she dashed it indignantly away, and flung four or five glass tumblers at them, but without effoct, as they stooped and thus avoided them. The prisoner, of whose identity she was quite positive, was then called up to fetch a cab, which he did. As they proceeded through the hall the prisoner told her that if she would but be quiet she should be taken to her father's ; and as they went along, not knowing the place, she supposed he was conducting her home. When they arrived at a dark street (Little Sutton-street, Clerken well) he told her to get out, and after walking three or four yards with her put a paper in her hand, which was subsequently found to contain her address, and left her. She staggered on a little further, when, weary and stupefied, s he sat upon the step where the constable (Hillier) found her. The kerchief put to her face produced an unpleasant. suffocating sensation, coupled with a ringing noise in the ears and a dimness of vision previously to producing insensibility. Mrs. Eliza Andrews, an experienced matron at the hospital, to whom the prosecutrix was delivered over at half-past two o'clock in the morning, proved that she was almost insensible at the time. Every effort to make her use her limbs proved abortive, and the mo ment she was laid on the bed she fell into a profound sleep. When she awoke she complained of feeling very sore, but there were no marks of violence on her per son, nor any indication whatever to show that she had been violated ; an opinion in which Mr. Robertson concurred. James Roberts, the young man to whom the prosecu trix was 'Attuned, and whos- name had been us.d as the means of abduction, was called to prove whether the let:er making the appointment with the prosecutrix was in the prisoner's handwriti ng; b ut h o was una b le to say. Mr. YARDLEY said it was a most extraordinary case, and required the fullest investigation. Mr. Lewis—We have offered rewards and distributed bibs at the west end of the town. The girl's parents, by whose directions we prosecute, are most anxious to procure all possible testimony. Mr. YARDLEY—With the exception of the direct ter timony of the young woman, the evidence rests on the prisoner's boasting of what occurred in a cab on that night, and even that would seem subversive of the pur pose for which it would appear he had been employed. It may be consistent with the tact that he was with a young woman in a cab, but what followed would not be consistent with the purpose for which he was supposed to be employed. It was a most serious charge, and as it is of the utmost importance that all the parties con nected with it should be brought to justice, I shall re quire the prisoner to give two substantial sureties of 1001. each to appear here en Thursday next. After a few observations from the Rev. Mr. Talbot in reference to the desire of th,, association which he repre- dented to give effect to the prosecution of the cure, the prisoner was locked up in default of bail until Thursday l i next, when the case will be, further investigated.
