V; (:030i.11 - 1 .stvr( IZDAY.) itOuSt. OF LORDS. TEE GLASGOW JUNCTION RAILWAY. IMPORTANT DECISION. The Committee to whom this railway was referred, met this morning at e.even o'clock, in Committee.room No. 5, Abingdon street. Present, the Earl of St. Germains, Chairman ; the Earl of Oxford, the Earl of Carnanon, the Bishop of Ely, and Lord Mainers The Committee remained in iti liberation till half-past twelve o'clock, when the counsel and parties were called. The CIi•IKM•N then said that he consiistred the most convenient course to take would be to read the resolutions which the Corn m.ttee had come to on the proposed line. The Noble Lord then read the :ollowing resolutisins : ht. That it is the opinion of this Committee that a communi cation by railway from the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway to the north side of the harbour of Glasgow would be attended with public ad vantage. 2d. That there are not such engineering or other difficulties in the way of the proposed line as to render its adoption inexpedient. - . . 3d. That sufficient provision ought to be made for securing to the parties through whose property the line may be carried full compensation for the damage which the railway may •ccasion to that property. _ . 4th. That it appears to this Committee that the existing quays do not afford suttiei,nt accommodation for the trade of Glasgow, and hat it is in the highest degree desirable that additional accom. roodation, especially for the mineral traffic, be provided. Sth. Tfat it does not appear to this Committee to be expedient that a railway should be laid along the quays which extend from Park si vet to the eastern extremity of the stearn.boat quay. A discussion then toDk place about the insertion of certain clauses in the Bill affecting the property on the line, particularly the Blytheswood property, belonging to Mr. Campbell, which were eventually agreed to with a few amendments. The preamble of the Bill, subject to the restrictions referred to in the resolutions, was then declared proved. The clauses of the Bill were then agreed to, after a few verbal amendments, and the Committee broke up. HOUSE OF t OMMONS. GROUP X. LONDON AND YORE LINE. MOST IMPORTANT. PROTEST AG AINsT THE LATE DECISION. Immediately after the re assembling cf the Committee this day, Mr. AUSTIN, Q.C., tendered on behalf of the Eastern Counties, North Midland, and Midland Railway Companies, the following important protest : The Eastern Counties Railway Company beg respectfully to pro test against the decision of the Committee in favour of the London and York Bill, for the following, amongst other reasons : Because, although the Eastern Counties Company's lines between London and Biggleswade having been at first excluded from the classification of competing lines to the London and York scheme, were, by the Committee, upon special application of the Company, after argument placed, in the:cl.isa as a distinct competing line with the London and York Railway between the termini of London and Bigglcirwade, yet, nevertheless, the Eastern Counties Company have not been heard, nor allowed to produce any positive evidence in support of their lines between I ondun and Thggleswade, nor any general rebutting evidence against the London and York scheme. Bocauie, although the Eastern Counties Company were informed by the Committee that they must cross-examine on all points, on which they intended to bring forward rebutting evidence, and did cross examine accordingly, yet the whole of such rebutting evidence touni:ed on such cross-examinations, although tendered, has been rejected ar.d not heard. Because, although upon the close of the London and York case the Eastern Counties Company tendered to the Committee re butting evidence to b. then given against that case, or to defer the same until their own Hertford and Biggleswade Bill came on before the Committee; and although the Committee de cided that they would defer that rebutting evidence until the period last mentioned, yet, nevertheless, such evidence has been wholly rhj I•T ed. Bec..use, although it bas been the invariable practice of Parlia mentary Committees sttting upon competing lines, before any de decision on the preambles for the Bills for such lines is pronounced (whether the lines be competing as entire trunk lines between two termini, or competing for portions only of such lines), to hear the positive aid rebutting evidence on behalf of ,ach Btil, yet in the case of the Eastern Counties com peting tin , s between London and Biggleswade no evidence what ever has been heard, either positive or rebutting, on the part of that Company, and in the absence of that evidence the decision on the London and York pars lei line between the same termini has been pronounced. B cause, although the Eastern Counties Company's London and Cambridge line formed titty ini'es of the trunk line from London to York, co:nposed of that railway, and the proposed Cambridge and Lincoln Direct Northern and Tottenham and Farringdon street projected lines, and was the most interested in the compe tition, and the most affected by ■ decision in favour of the London arid Y , ,rk scheme, and was an existing rail way sanctioned by previous Committess of both Houses of Parliament as well calculated to accommodate the Lincolnshire and northern traffic, yet the three principal lines above mentioned were alone herd before the Committee, and the case of the Eastern Counties Company postponed at the instance of the Committee until the others were finished, has not been heard in the slightest shape; all their rebutting evidence from twenty-three witnesses has been rejected; the attacks made upon their line have been allowed to remain unanswered, and in the face of this injustice a decision has been pronounced in favour of the London and York undertaking. _ The York and North Midland Railway Company beg respectfully to protest against the decision of the Committee in favour of the London and York Railway Bill. _ Because they have not teen heard against the preamble of such Bill, nor allowed to call evidence against it, al though this Company were represetring a Bill reterred to the Committee, and classed by them as competing with the London and York project, and although by the London and York Bill compul sory powers are taken over lands belonging to the Company, and to interfere with their principal station, prejudicially, both as respects its cons enient working, and the safety of the public; the Com mittee, moreover, having permitted them to cross-examine the witnesses called in support of the Bill, and thus incur all the expenses of appearing in Committee from the commencement of the proceedings. Because the pissing of the preamble of the London and Tork Bill virtually negatives that of the York and worth Midland Rail. way Exten , ion to Doncaster, although the case for the last.. mentioned Bill has not been heard by the Committee. The Midland Railway Company beg most respectfully to pro test against the decision of the Committee in favour of the Lon, on and York Railway Bil! • _ _ . Because they have not been heard against the preamble of such Bill, nor allowed to call rebutting evidence against the case set up by its promoters, although the Bills promoted by this Com pany were referred to the Committee as competing schemes with the London and York project, and classed as such by the Committe themselves it, the outset of their proceedings ; thus allowing the Midland Company to incur the heavy expeose of an opposition to the sill without giving them an opportunity of being heard upon its merits, _ _ _ Because the passing of the preamble of the London and York virtu ,Ily negatives that of the Lincoln and Ely Railway Bill, and also that of the Swinton and Lincoln Railway Bill, as respects the communication between Lincoln and Doncaster, although the Commi,tre have not heard the case of the prompters of the two last-mentioned Bills, a circ .mstance believed to be without pre ceti en t • 1 he Committee having withdrawn to consider these protests, on their rwurn The CHAIRMAN said that he was in,tructed by the Committee to sta,e that thy declined to receive the documents hsrided in, which however could with ;wpm ty De tendered in anoth, r place.

WEXFORD, WEDNESD►Y.—This day Mr. O'Connell, Dr. Gray, and Mr. Steele, were entertained at a public dinner in Wexford. They were escorted into the town by a " monster procession," con stituted according to the form observed at Cork, Kilkenny, and other places in which public dinners were lately given. Mr. O'Connell left Dublin on Tuesday morning early, and stopped to breakfast at the village of Bray. The inhabitants, in anticipation of this visit, had prepared an address, which they intended to pre• sent to him, but they were greatly disappointed when he declared he would not receive any address on his route, as the delay occasioned thereby might disarrange the general plan of operations. They passed through the towns of Ark low, Gorey, and Fearns, and arrived at En niscorthy about eight o'clock last evening. The demonstrations along the line were highly complimentary to Mr. O'Connell, who was met at the outlets of all the towns by bands, processions, kc. From an early hour this morning the town was all bustle, most of the shops were shut, and business was suspended for the day. Shortly after twelve o'clock Mr. O'Connell joined the procession about four miles from Wexford. The road taken by the procession was covered for a distance of two miles, and Mr. O'Connell's estimate of the numbers present was 200,000. Probably one-fourth the amount would be nearer the truth, as it would give more than one half the entire male population of the county. The procession passed through Wexford from three to tour o'clock, and moved off to a spacious field in the outlets, where a platform was erected. A large party of the peasantry had assembled. THE MEETING. John Hyacinth Talbot, Esq., was called to the chair, and Mr. Green, editor of the Wexford Independent, appointed to act as secretary. Mr. T*LBGT, in thanking the meeting for the honour conferred on him, observed, although he had been deprived of legal autho rity, which his countrymen would acknowledge and obey, when he called upon them to keep the peace, and refrain from all acts not strictly legal and constitutional. Mr. GREEN read a petition to Parliament, praying for the repeal of the union, and also a declaration agreed to recently by the Repeal Club, to the effect that it would never desert the cause of repeal ; and he moved that the county of Wexford adopt that pledge as its own. The motion was carried. Mr. O'CONNELL then came forward, and was received with a long and loud shout of applause. He commenced by adverting to the majestic meeting around him. He never felt more delighted on any occasion —(A ♦oice " more power.") More power to Ireland (continued Mr. O'Con nell), that was one of the most striking incidents of his varied life. He had seen nature iu all her loveliness, and most attractive forms, the majestic landscape from Enniscorthy to Wexford—lts hill and dale, mountain and valley—the noble river Slaney carrying on its tranquil surface the produce of the surrounding district, with the waves of the ocean in the distance, and the rich fields of waving corn in all directions—this was a combination unequalled in any other part of the country. But there was something still far more impressive—the tens and twenty thousands—and ke verily did believe that 200,000 stalwart men and lovely women all combined in one inspiration that Ireland should be free.—(Cheers.) Men of Wexford, Ireland should be free —(Cheers.) Did they pledge themselves tc assist him ?—(Cries of "We will.") Let every man who was ready to stand by Ireland lift up his hand (all hands raised). Let every man resolve to follow out his present intention of working for Ireland. Their triumph was to be attained by perfectly peaceful and constitutional means, for by such means did he sv...ceed in gaining Catholic emancipation. By com bining peaceably and legally, the day would not be far distant when they would be called upon to return six Members for the county of Wexford to the Irish Parliament in College-green.— (Cheers.) It was not from a feeling of pride that he wished for the repeal of the union, but from a conviction of the foul way that measure was carried, and its evil effects upon Ireland.—(Hear, near.) They all objected to the continuance of the Union. They would presently hear a resolution proposed, which would call upon them to record their opinion on the subject. They had one Mem ber, Mr. James Power, who declared himself a repeater; but he had not made a public statement to that effect, because he said he had never been cared upon by his constituents. Now he declared that if Mr. Power did not publicly declare himself, and take his place in Conciliation-hall, he should not again represent the county of Wexford —(Hear, hear.) He loved his ( Mr. Power's) father; but if his own brother, or his son, John O'Con. nell, did riot take his place in Conciliation-hall, he would vote against him.—(Hear, hear.) The time was come when they should all work ; they should not be longer satisfied with hurraing and screeching, but proceed at once to the registry. He did not think his friend the Right Rev. Dr. Kennedy would be angry with the priest who attended the registry of Repeaters—of friends of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) The resolution would be known to Sir T. Esmond to-morrow. Although the Hon. Baronet was a near relative of his, he would, if an election took place to-morrow, come down to canvass against him unless he declared for repeal.— (Hear.) No man should represent Wexford who was not also a member of the Repeal Association, and who did not take his place in Conciliation-hall. At the next election they would return tour Members for Wexford; and he had no doubt that if all the rest of Ireland did its duty equally well with that county, there would be seventy repeal Members for Ireland.—(Cheers.) He then ex pressed his dissatisfaction with the three other Liberal Members — Captain Gore for New Ross, and Captain Hatton, one of the county Members, and he gave them verbal notice t* quit if they did not seon appear at Conciliation-hall. The resolution was passed. After some business of no interest the meeting separated. THE DINNER. The dinner was given in a spacious building, hitherto used as a timber.yard. It was covered with canvass, lighted with gas, and decorated with the banners used at the procession in the morning, together with some others of a unique description. Covers were laid for SOO, and fully that number of persons sat down. The chair was occupied by John Maher, Esq., of BallinkeeL The usual loyal t oasts having been drank, The SECRETARY read a number of letters of apology amongst which were letters from Dr. M'Hale, Dr. Cantwell, and Mr. Ffrench. After the toast of " The People," " The Health of O'Connell" was given with three times three. The Honourable and Learned GENTLEMAN then adverted in glowing terms to the grand demonstration of that day. Every one keew hnw the union was carried—terms were made with Ireland, but they were like the conditions offered by the robber with a pistol at his victim's breast, "Your purse or your life." The Engli,h Ministry no longer asserted that Ireland could be managed with safety as formerly—no longer could the British empire be considered safe, while such a plague spot remained in her ; but the disease could be remedied by doing justice to Ireland. England talked of her humanity; but did Ire land ever experience it ? No nation ever treated another with such barbarity as England did Ireland, and her ancient history would be the record of the deeds at the present day; but it was no longer safe to continue them.—( Hear, hear.) The English newspapers were very angry with the French Colonel Pellissier for the smother- ing of eight hundred Arabs in Africa, a few weeks ago. He (Mr. O'Connell) did not mean to palliate that atrocious offence, but the English had no right to speak of it as something novel. How had they treated the Irish at all times, while they had the power of oppressing them ? He would quote from " Ludlow's Memoirs" a scene which formed an exact parallel with that of Pellissier's.— [He then read a passage from the " Life of Ludlow,'' in which that General published a dispatch, giving an account of his be sieging some twenty or thirty Irish rebels in a cave at Dun dalk. When one of his soldiers appeared at the entrance he was shot. Orders were then given to smoke them out, the result of which was, that about twenty were destroyed.) There, said Mr. O'Connell, was English history for them. He next told the story of the massacre at Drogheda by Cromwell, and then came to the slaughter of the 300 ladies in Wexford—the old story, and well adapted to make a sensation. Yes ; he stated in a public meeting in London that 300 ladies had been slaughtered at the foot of the cross in the Bull-ring, at Wexford, whither they had fled for protection from the brutal soldiery of the English com. mander.—(Sensation.) The Standard newspaper charged him with telling a lie on this subject ; he admitted there was lying, but the lie was with the scoundrel himself. He (Mr. O'Connell) had brought them the History of England, by Dr. Lingard, the only just and impartial historian of England. He read the extract and con tinu ed. Now, the army of Cromwell, which corn. milted the slaughter in Wexford, were formed of English of the first water, and they would do it again if they dared.—(Hear, hear.) Let the meeting look at the gallery, and ask would such a slaughter be again perpetrated ?—(No, no.) No ; he was sure there was not a man there that would be the survivor of such another act. They, however, dared not—would not attempt it, for it was no longer safe.—(Cheers.) He concluded by proposing " The Health of the Chairman," who was formerly one of the representatives of Wexford county. Mr. Masten returned thanks. The health. of Mr. Steele, Dr. Gray, and the other repeal mar tyrs, was drunk. Mr. STEELE, in returning thanks, adverted to his labours as Head Pacificator, which he conceived had been very successful. Dr. GRAY next addressed the meeting. The Rev. Father SyNNorr spoke to the toast of repeal. He gave a gloomy picture of the state of Ireland, which lie charged upon Great Britain, and he said that it was only a pauper Sovereign who should reign over a pauper people. He would forget much of the misdeeds of England, but one crime she had committed that would never be forgiven in Ireland —never be forgotten—the incarceration of the Liberator.—(Cries of " Never.") Let history tell its story— let tradition hand down the fact, that the greatest man living was persecuted, as they hoped to the death ; but they were disappointed. His reverence concluded by calling on the men of Wexford to exert themselves at the registry for the enrolment of repeaters. The next toast was, " The County and Borough Members.— (Cries of " No, no," and " Yes. yes.") The CHAIRMAN said those gentlemen had fully discharged their trust up to the present. In a day or two they would be made ac quainted with the resolution that day passed, and the people of Wexford should give a fair time to ascertain the course they would pursue hereafter. Mr. Jars Powea, M.P., returned thanks. He declared him self favourable to the question of repeal, and sat down amidst cheers and disapprobation. The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of the three great men whose names were before him, " Lords Denman, C,,ttenhsm, an d Campbell," by whose decision respect for the law was pro cured. After some other toasts, the party separated at eleven o'clock. DUBLIN STOCK EXCHANGE—Jute —Three per Cent.

The bad case is one of murder ; the murdered man was a dealer in sheep from the county Kerry, and he hired the murderer, also a Kerry man, to assist in driving his sheep from market to market, and after disposing of the better part of a large stock, they were driving the remnant to Carrick.ou-Suir, when the servant, near to Killenarch, murdered his master and robbed him. The evidence was all circumstantial ; he was found guilty, and is left for execution. Everything in this country is improvieg, though some casual outbreaks take place.

On Friday evening the inquest on the bodies of the three men, David Davis, Thomas Richards, and Benjamin James, who were drowned by the upsetting of a small boat, belonging to the Cullo. den, under circumstances which have already appeared in this journal, was resumed before Mr. Payne, at the Vestry-hall, Horsleydown. On the re-assembling of the jury that evening Mr. S. Fry, a solicitor, appeared on the part of the captain of the Prince of Wales steamer. Mr. John Bunyon, the clerk of the Watermens' Ccmpany, attended at the request of the Coroner, and stated that, by one of the by laws of the company, no vessel navigating between Lon don-bridge and the eastern limits of Limehouse-reach, was to go at a speed greater than five miles an hour, but he believed that the regulation applied to vessels going within that distance. ; - Francis Enson, principal engineer of the Prince of Wales, said, that at the time of the accident the wheels were not making more than twelve evolutions a minute. The wheels were eighteen feet in diameter. We go at the same speed with or against tide. Captain Davis, a master mariner, said that 13 evolutions would propel the steamer four miles an hour ; and if going with the tide four miles more, making her speed eight miles an hour. It was necessary for her to go at such speed, or she would not answer her helm. klenry Forss, the captain of the Prince of Wales, said that vessel was 200 feet long and 21 feet broad, and at the time he must admit she was going about seven miles an hour over the ground. The tide as not running fast, not more than two miles an hour, and the Prince of Wales was half an hour getting from London bridge to Deptford. It was his opinion that the accident was caused by the men having the mooring chain over the stern of the boat. This being the whole of the evidence, The CORONEZ addressed the jury, and said, there were two questions for their consideration, —was it the swell from the Prince of Wales that caused the death of these men P if they were satisfied it was, it would be then for them to say whether they considered the captain was navigating that vessel at a proper pace or not The room was cleared of strangers, and, after some deliberation, the foreman said that the verdict was a unanimous one of " Man slaughter against Henry Forss, captain of the Prince of Wales steam.boat," who was forthwith committed to Nengate on the Coroner's warrant The foreman of the jury handed the following to the Coroner : " We, the undersigned jurors assembled on the inquest held on the bodies of David Davis, Thomas Richards, and Benjamin James, having closely investigated all the ciicumstances of this melancholy affair, respectfully request the Coroner will represent to the Home Secretary of State and the Court of Aldermen the absolute necessity of promptly making stringent laws fcr the regu lation of the conduct of the commanders of steamers in navigating the pool ; the reckless speed at which they now go (proceding in a great measure from their rivalry), endangers the lives and property of every individual whose business or avocation is on the river Thames. The jurors are convinced nothing but the strong arm of power and rigid enforcement of well considered regulations can abate the nuisance; and they are further of opinion that if the Corporation of the City of London has not the requisite power, it is an evil which calls loudly for the interference of the Government and of the Legislature." VIOE-CIIANCELLORS' COURT. Ali, • , 5 MATHEWS V. WEBSTER. Mr. ROGERS moved in this case for an ex parte injunction, restraining Mr. Webster, the lessee of the Haymarket Theatre. his agents and servant, from performing or representing, or causing to be performed or represented, the well-known far-e, Used Up, without the permission of the plaintiff. Mr. Charles Mathews, by whom the play had been translated and a apt el from L' H mine Blase. Mr. Mathews's affidavit stated that in February, 1644, he had composed and prepared for dramatic representation the farce Used Up from the Frenc . play. and had adapted it for the Englc-h stage. He had himself played in it until very lately, when, in consequence of a quarrel wi' h Mr. Webster, he had ceased to do so The farce had hen represented seventy seven rights. and had been announced as the work id Mr. Mathews, who had alte-ed, transposed, and re-written the greater part of it. He claimed, by virtue of the recent Copyright Act, to be the author of the farce, and until the 2251 instant, had been represented as such in the play-hills issued by Mr. Webster. Since that time it had been announced to the theatrical world mud tl e public with the name of M. Rourcicault, and Mr. Mathews had not played at the theatre. It was advertised for performance this evening. The VtcE-CiiascF.LLOK—What is announced for to-mor • row night ? Yen had better wait until to-morrow. Acting it for one night cannot do you much harm, and the injunction would cause some inconvenience prolsably, this minion being made without notice. All cases of ex parte injunction you know are discretionary. Mr. ROGERS—Perhaps your Honour would be kind enough to look at the playbill (handing it up). VICE-CHANCELLOR—I am engaged for this evening, Mr. Rogers.—( Laughter.) Mr. ROGERS—It is a very popular farce, and the lessees may probably realise a large suns by this evening's performance. VICE-CHANCELLOR—Perhaps many of the public will not go if they know Mr. Mathews does not play. The inconveni ence of waiting until to-morrow cannot be very great. It was understood that the solicitor of the Haymarket The atre, who happened to be in Court, consented to accept short notice of the motion for to-morrow (this day). ARADBURY V JOHNSON —MR. AND MRS. CAUDLE. Mr. BETHELL stated to the Gant that he had two applica tions to make for injunctions, which he had no doubt his Ho nour would have the greatest pleasure in granting. He was moving on behalf of a personage who must have afforded his Honour much gratification when young, and had also added to the amusement of the last year. For some time past a system of pirating had been practised upon this amiable gentleman ; the perpetrators of the outrage had been allowed to continue. with out interruption, fur some time. The writers of melo-drama.: had, amongst others, cainrnitted the grossest piracies, and vari ous publications had at times endeavoured to t nliven their readers by extracts fry m Punch ; last it had lately been dii,co vered that several periodicals had extracted whole articles, with out any acknowledgment whatever of the theft, and had continued weekly to copy largely from the plaintiffs publication. PuncA h d frequently warn id these prates that he would gibbet them, if they continued to do so. His Honour was aware that Punch had added to the gallery of illustrious British characters two personages who would be remembered as long as matrimonial discord should exist—he alluded to the renowned Mr. and Mrs. Caudle, and that the latter had increased the stock of ideal literature by her very entertaining lectures. It had been dis covered that many of these far-famed lectures had been trans ferred wholly into the pages of the Hereford 7 imes, and there was not even an acknowledgment of the theft ; but the readers of that publication were left to suppose that such excellent articles could be written by the ed tor himself. He might with propriety apply the lines of Horace, " 0 imilatares servum peens, ut mihi ssepe Bilem, tteepe jicum vestri movere tumultus It was against the proprietor of this publication that he asked for one injunction. The next application was upon a subject in timately connected with this. It was at all times acknowledged that the public wire gratified by having some sort of remem brance of those by whom they had been charmed in b • -gone days—they were pleased at having such features impressed upon their minds. Now this hail occurred to Mr. Punch, who, to gratify the public taste, had with his own pencil traced upon paper the lineaments of his hero and heroine ; this had supplied a great desideratum to those wino had not sufficient imagina tion to bring home to their fancy the great originals. The Learned Coun,el here handed up to the Court the picture of Mr. and Mrs. Caudle, arid lieggi d to call the attention of Isis Honour m st particularly to the expressive anguish of Mr. Caudle and the austerity of l.is better half; in point of fact, every lecture seemed delineated upon her features; there they were in the identiaal situation in which the lee , tires had been delivered. The defendants had publishi d a copy of this excellent picture, theugh he most say it was no more like the original than brass was like gold; still it was ni cessary to put a stop to these proceedings, arid he therefore trusted his Honour would grant a second it junction to restrain the publicatiou of this print. He would «h •w to the court how universal had hi•en its sale throughout the country. If Non left town for a short period, and re.ided at a waterit g place for instance, there was the letter paper maan which were described the beautii s of the place, headed by a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Candle. If a shopkeeper desired to ingratiate himself with his customers, he left a card with a likeness of Mr. and Mrs. Caudle, and so in all parts of the country had the pictures of Mr. and Mrs. Caudle been circulated. It was the desire of the plaintiff to hang up the perpetrators of these piracies as scarecrows, to frighten all those who would at tempt to do the like. There were affidavits filed in support of the applications, in which it was set out that the plaintiffs, Messrs. Bradbury and Evans, were proprietors of Punch. His HoNoun granted both injunctions. Daring the whole of the application made by Mr. Bethall the laughter on all sides was so immoderate from this strange variation in the general dulness arid solemnity of a Court of Chancery, that it was almost impossible to collect accurately the speech of the learned counsel. COURT OF IIANKLUPTCY, July 26. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUZ. ) IN RE CATIIERX. This insolvent carried on business as a licensed victualler at Portsea, and was opposfi. A former petition had been discharged. In the present i .sti.nce the first objection was that the peti tion stated that the insolvent had no estate, when in the the amount of 211 . ; and as the petition could not be mended goods, debts, promissory notes, &c., to t s hc e h3edlru.liei petition u h must G e t returned s abiesaid that. di the point had been wonted before Mr. Commissioner lioulburn, who said that the objection ought not to have been made, and directed that the debts should be altered to " doubtful," which was done. The Learned Commissioner also observed that the insolvent was entitled to excepted articles to the amount Of 20/. The apposing solicitor said that, with all due deference to the Learned Ci mmi&sioner Goulburn, he had ito power to direct the amendment, it being quite in opposition to the Act of Parliament. The lev.rned Commisioner FONBLAICQUE said that, debts might be considered good one day, Doubtful the next, and posi tively bad the next. The solicitor submitted that the petition must he dismissed, inasmuch as the insolvent had sworn that he had no estate when it was evident he had. The Learned CostNtissloNEß said that the only remedy for that was to prosecute th e insolvent for perjury in making such a stassment ; but he thought that they would not be she to establish it in such a case. He considered that the amended schedule ought to be admitted. The insolvent was then examined at great length, but said that he could not state the particulars of his d bts, as he had no books or papers. Mr. Huctaxs said that Mr. Scott, a solicitor, who had pre pared the former schedule. had got possession of them, and would not give them up or 4/trti any facilities. Th.+ Learned COMMISSIONER said that the case must be ad journed; he could not adjudicate without the books were pro• duced. Mr. HUGHES applied for a summons to Mr. Scott, which was granted. The Learned CosistissioNrst said a stop must he put to the system of getting rid of books. An insolvent had no right to g ive them up to any one, and ought to prepare his own balance sheet on his own premises. At present it seemed that alt a trader thought it necessary to do was to hand his books and papers over to an attorney or accountant, so that he might come up without them, and so conceal them from the Court.— Adjourned. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ri n ctim—ith , idst ne.k 24. „ C ROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice COT.ERIDGE CHARQE Op m u RDE R AND ARSON. - Charles Simms, aged 23, a well-dressed young man, was indicted for having wilfully , an d feloniously se t tire to a certain dwelling - house , at Faversham, h e we ll k no .ing that one Thomassin Pymm Payn was therein at the time. :rb!! prison er was likewise arraigned up on the Coroner's in quisition for the murder of Thomassin Pymm Payn. The first indictment was proceeded with. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Deades conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Bodkin , with whom was Mr. Horne, appeared for the prisoner. The trial commenced on Thursday, and occupied the Court from mid-day until past eleven o'clock at night, during the whole of which time the Court was crowded, and the case ap peared to create great interest. A considerable number of witnesses were examined, but the ease will be much better understood in the form of a narra tive. It appe are d t h a t the prisoner had been formerly in the service of a grocer at Canterbury, but last October he came to Faversham, and set up in business for himself. He at first occupied, with his wife and an infant child, two rooms in West -street, in that town. This was in October; and in the February folowing he removed to another house in the same street, wl•ich was jointly occupied by himself and a person named Payn. and where he again carried en the busi ness o f a groeer • he living , with his famil y , on one side of th e house, and Payn and his family on the other, the passag e from the street-door being between them. It has been stated that the family of the prisoner consisted of himself, his wife, and an i n f ant ; and Paso his wife, and a cousin, the un fortunate deceased, constituted the other family. The fire in question took place between eleven and twelve o'clock on the night of the 29th of April. Smoke was first seen issuing from the passage of the house, and very soon afterwards the side of the house oecui.i.d by the prisoner and his family was dis covered to be in flames. An alarm was speedi.y slit en, arid the prisoner with h.s wile and child were ti ken irom the house in their night clothe, and Mr. and Mrs. Pain were also taken out in safety ; but the deceased was either suffocated, or else the terror was too much for her; but, however, she FA MIL Y JARS. Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor, a fashionably-attired woman, the wife of a tradesman in Teoley-street, was charged, before Mr. Cottingham, at Southwark Police-court, with assaulting and threatening the life of her husband. The complainant, a diminutive man in comparison to his wife, a robust, hearty-looking woman, stated that he had been married for ten years, and that for some time past had led a very uncomfortable life, owing to the capricious disposition of his wife. That she had of late, he was sorry to say, indulged in liquor, and when under its influence was quite unbearable. A few nights since she returned home slightly inebriated, and on entering the room where he was sitting waiting patiently for her return, she expt essed her determination not to allow him to sleep in the same bed with her. As he did not de►ire to oppose her wishes on the subject, he intimated that he would sleeep in an adjoining room, and accordingly proceeded up stairs for that purpose. He, however, had scarcely got into Led when Mrs. Taylor rushed into the apartment, smashed the chimney ornaments, and demolished the water jug and basin. He implored her to tranquillise herself, but all to no purpose ; and not satisfied with the damage she had already committed, she flew to the bed where he was lying, dragged him out by the hair of his head, and in order to avoid further violence, he ran down stairs naked as he was, but she followed closely after him, and renewed the attack until he was at length compelled to call for assistance. When the policeman came he refused to take the charge, on the ground that he had not witnessed the assault, and the complainant, therefore, procured a warrant against her. Mr. Cottingham asked the complainant his trade, and he replied, a tobacconist ; but that his business was going to ruin, owing to Mrs. Taylor's love for drink and fine dress. Mr. Cottingham—But why not prevent her, at all events, from liquor? Complainant—lt's quite out of my power. She gets it on the sly. It was only a few days since, when I expos tulated with her on the ruinous consequences of her conduct, that she cut my head open with a china mug. The complainant here exhibited the back of his head, saying it was quite bald, owing to Mrs. Taylor having pulled all the hair out by the roots. He added, that she also carried a loaded pistol about, and that he was afraid to move about the house, in case she should have a shot at him. Mrs. Taylor's solicitor said that he was instructed that the defendant had taken the pistol away from her husband, know ing that he carried one about him. The defendant declared that her solicitor had spoken the truth, and that knowing her husband's fiery temper, and that he always carried a loaded pistol, she took posession of it to prevent its being turned against herself. She vowed that she had no intention to do her husband a serious injury, but at the same time she was determined he should not have it all his own way. That she married him when he was insolvent, and had not a halfpenny to help himself, put him into a good shop of business, but he now wanted to exercise such control over her and her property, that flesh and blood could bear it no longer. The complainant, in reply to the Magistrate, stated that his wife had not only assaulted him in the way described, but she had also threatened to blow his brains out, and he was fearful she would carry her threats into effect. He also added that she had some deeds belonging to him, which she refused to deliver up. Here an angry altercation took place between the parties, on the subject of the deeds alluded to, which was at length put a stop to by Mr. Cottingham, who said that it was impossible he could sit there all day, to the hindrance of other public busi ness, to decide upon their domestic grievances; that it was quite evident they could not live together with any degree of comfort the way they were going on, and his advice was that they agree to separate, the husband allowing the wife a main tenance. The Magistrate's suggestion being agreed to, the defendant was fined 20s. for the assault, anti both parties left the Court with their respective solicitors to arrange matters. RAILWAY RETURNS.

It was remarked at the time of the fire that the flames burnt very brightly, very suddenly, and appeared as suddenly to be extinguished ; but at the time there did not appear to be any particular suspicion en tertained upon the subject of the fire. Upon an examination of the premises being made, it appeared that the fire com menced near the cellar, and from the fact of all the doors being fastened on the inside, it became apparent that if the fire was a wilful one it must have been committed by some person within the house. Upon more minute search it appeared that the fire had been what was called a surface fire, and the flames seemed to have spread all along the floors and the shelves of the shop, and all along the passage the same appearance presented itself so far as the cellar door. On the rubbish in the passage being removed a shawl and a piece of lit en were found under it, both of which articles were strongly impregnated with the spirit of camphine. This excited greater sus picion, and a more minute examination of the rubbish took place, and under another portion ~f it was found a new win dow blind that had been sent home to the prisoner a day or taro before, and had only been used once, and this was also strongly impregna ed with camphine. The mat at the street. door was also wet with the same spirit, and the carpet in the prisoner's sitting-room was also wetted nearly all over with it. Two cans that appeared to have contained camphine were found in the shop, and one of them appeared to have been overturned. The fire appeared to have extended as far as the third step leading to the cellar, and the suspicion was that the fire had commenced at that spot ; and the shawl and the piece of linen saturated with the spirit being found near the place led to the inference that they had been the means of causing the fire, and that the fierce manner in which it ignited was occasioned by the camphine spirit. These suspicious circumstances led to further inquiry, and the jury who sat upon the body of the un fortunate young woman who lost her life returned a verdict of wilful murder against the prisoner. In addition to the above fic's it appeared that before Mr. Payn went to bed he ascer tained that his side of the house was perfectly safe, and that 'here was not the slightest appearance of fire in any part of it. He went to hid before eleven o'clock, and shortly after ward, he heard some one, whom he believed to be the prisoner, ..,. tu e in at the street-door, and he h-arch him walk along the ra.sage to the cellar, and heard the door of the cellar opened very gently, and the alarm of fire ‘,as given before he got sleep. It likewise appeared that on the Wednesday or Thurs day before the fire, the prisoner, who used a vamphine lamp in his shop, purchased a gallon of camphine at a chop in Favers ham, and on the day before the fire he purchased a further quantity of camphine. In addition to these facts, it also ap peared that a ft w days before the fire the prisoner had gone to the agent of the Phoenix fire-office in Faversham. and made a prr posal to effect an insurance with that establishment to the amount of 4(10/., of which 31)01. was to he for his stork-in.. trail.•, and 100/. for furniture ; but it appeared that after the li-e th goods and stock that were saved, and which it was said constituted the greater portion of it, did not fetch 50/. alto gether There were some other minor circumstances brought forward, but the above a:e the principal points of the evidence against the accused. The witnesses were cross-examined by Air. Bodkin with very great care and minuteness, and he elicited from them that. when the alarm of fire was given, the prisoner and bis wife and child were rescued by means of a ladder, with great diffi culty, and with nothing on but night clothes. It likewise ap• geared, that upon the people going into the house at the time of the fire, there was not the slightest appearance of the removal of any property, the prisoner's watch and a purse and money being found in one of the rooms. Besides this, it likewise appeared, that although the prisoner had made a pro posal for the insurance, the,policy had not been handed over to him, so that he would have had no legal claim upon the com pany for any loss he sustained by the fire ; and with regard to the amount at which the stock and furniture were sold after the fire, it was admitted that it was all very much damaged by the fire and water, and that the price fetched at a forced sale by auction, under such circumstances, was not at all a fair crite rion as to its actual value. Mr. BODKIN, in his address to the jury, commented very forcibly upon these circumstances, in favour of the prisoner and urged that the utmost that appeared against the prisoner, was that a ease of suspicion had been made out. arid he doubted if it even amounted to that. He submitted that there was an absence of anything like direct evidence, and that it was im po,sible for him to have committed so dreadful an offence without, as it appeared, the slightest assignabl.• motive; and with regard to what had been proved respecting the insur ance, if his object had really been to defraud the Company, he asked the jury, as men of cr.mmon sense, whether he would have committed the offence until he had secured the policy ; or whether he would have destroyed his property, when he must have been aware that he hail no legal claim upon the insurance office for any portion of his loss ? Air. Justice COLERIDGE, having summed up, the jury deliberated for a short time, when they expressed a wish to retire. They were absent about five minutes, when they returned into Court, finding a verdict oi Not Guilty. A number of persons in the Court, among whom were se veral ladies, clapped their hands when the verdict was pro nounced ; but this ebullition of feeling was promptly repressed by the officers. Jul q 25. The prisoner, Charles Si nins, was this morning again placed at the bar, and a raigned upon the coroner's inquisition for the murder of the deceased young woman, Thomasin Pymtn Pain, who perished in the conflagration, as above stated. Mr. CLARKSON declined to offer any evidence, arid The jury. there fore, returne.' a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner was also arraigned upon an indictment charg ing him with feloniously setting fire to a certain dweling-house, with intent to defraud the Plicerix Insurance Company. [Lon this also a verdict of Not Guilty was recorded, and Mr. Justice COLERIDGE ordered the prisoner to be discharged front custody. David Passmore Taylor, 58. solicitor, was indicted for indecent assault upon Eliza Spain. The circumstances under which the charge was made against the prisoner will be fresh in the recollection of the public. as the facts. o far as they admitted of being detailed, have ap peared in the police reports within the last few dais The jury re•urned a veriiic. of Guilty, and the defendant was sentenced to be imprisoned for one year. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—E:(ter, July 24. (CROWN COURT.) (Abridged Priam the West?-n Times.) This being the day appointed for the trial of the prisoners charged with pi' acy and murder on the high seas, the greatest excitement prevailed, and curiosity was wound up to the highest pitch to get a sight of the prisoners. The outer court gstes were kept closed, in order to prevent too great a rush into the castle avenues ; and the upper part of Castle-street was densely crowded with persons, many of them respectably attired temales, desirous to obtain admission. In the interior of the Castle additional barriers were erected in the part de voted to the public, to prevent too great a r ush sf persons ; and, for the accommodation of the reporters of the public press. an additional temporary desk was erected. The prisoners were thus described in the calendar : —Fran ci'co Fereira de Santa Serva, aged :39,ab!e to re„d and write well - Jsnees Nlajaval, aged 22, imperfect education; Manuel Josi: Alves, aged 23, imperfect education ; Florenco Ribeiro, aged 30, imperfect education ; Alan Francisco, aged 35, no edu cation ; Jozi Mari Alartinos, aged 33, imperfect education Antonio Joaquim, aged 25, no education ; Sebastian de San tottitaged 26, imperfect education ; Alanvil Antonio, aged 22, no education; and Joze Antonio, aged 18. no education. The charge against them was for having, on the 3d day of March last, on the high seas off Lagos, in the Bay of Benin, on the west coast of Africa, wilfully murdered Thomas Palmer, mid shipman of her Majesty's ship Wasp, and James Mullins, George Goldin, Thomas Bartoot, James Mitchell, Thomas Gould. James Beynon, and Edward Marshall, able and ordi nary seamen of the same ship. They were further charged with piracy on the high seas. Majavil, the alleged and actual murderer of Mr. Palmer, was placed next the jury. Though cook of the vessel, he had rather a romantic air, and was decidedly the most prepossessing man of the party—he might have passed for an every-day copy of one of Byron's sea ruffian heroes. Next to him stood Serva, the projector of the bloody tragedy, according to the testimony of Cuqueira. Majaval had on him the attire of his vessel. Serve's doubloons had enabled him to array himself in English clothing. A new black coat, a clean white shirt, arid superior new clothing generally, marked his station as skipper of the gang, even in the dock. There was something inexpressibly j sinister in his countenance, especially when he turned down his face and appeared to be endeavouring to look placid and re signed to those evils which good men in this world are doomed to encounter. If scoundrel and hypocrite, ruffian and sneak, were not written in his visage, foul passions and foul feelings were never yet depicted in the human face divine. The other prisoners were a motley group—more or less tanned by the African sun, or skin-dyed by the African blood which, not unmingled with European, flowed in their veins. They were roughly clad in wild sailor fashin—wild and lawless enough of aspect.; but their countenances did not betray that ferocity which might have been expected from their bloody outburst. At nine o'clock precisely Mr. Baron PLATT entered the Court, and the proceedings immediately commenced. The pri soners were then place 1 at the bar. The case for the prosecution was conducted by Mr. Godson, Q. C., Mr. Cockburn, Q. C, Mr. A. Heyward. Q. C, and Mr. Fould.n ; attorney, Mr. Eastlake, solicitor to the Ad miralty, Plymouth. The defence was conducted by Mr. Sergeant Manning and Mr. Collier ; attorney, Mr. Edmonds, of Plymouth. About a quarter to nine the counsel and attorneys engaged in the case e ntered the Court, and about the same time J. C. Sercembe, Esq., the Si'anish Consul for this city, and F. Hirtzel, E q., the Portuguese Consul, Captain Martin, of Ply mouth, who was to act as interpreter for the prisoners—followed by hr. Bellamy, of Plymouth, clerk in the mercantile house of Fox, Sons, and Co , of Plymouth, who appeared to act as inter preter to the Crown. It was expected that one or both of the Consuls-General for Spain and Portugal would have come from London to be present ; but neither of them was in Court. Copies of the jury panel were handed to the attorneys for the prosecuton and defence, by Mr. Horne, that they might be prepared to challenge when the jury came to be sworn. Mr. Serjeant Max/isms demanded a mixed jury on behalf of the prisoners, for which the Under.sheriff hail made provi sion. by summoning the various foreign residents of the neigh bout hood. Mr Bellamy was row sworn as interpreter for the crown. The Clerk of the Arraigns—Now, interpreter, tell there that they stand indicted for the wilful murder of Thomas Palmer, on the high seas, on board a vessel called the Felicidade, on the 2d of March last, by Janees Nlajaval striking him and stabbing him with a knife, giving him a mortal wound upon the belly; that the other prisoners ( who were named) were present at the time. The second count charged them with causing his death by drowning. The charge again -t the prisoners was interpreted to them as it was read by Mr. Horne. On the first count being read and interpreted, Mr. Horne inquired if that was sufficient; but 51r. Sergeant Manning, for the prisoners, required that the second count should be gone through, which was formally done. Mr. Sergeant Alassistwo—, efore these prisoners plead to this indictment, it is necessary for me to say, your Lordship, that. I consider the indictment is bad in point of form, and that, under advice, they have demurred to the indictment. The Juno E—DO the counsel for the prosecution join in the demurrer? These having replied in the negative, The JUDGE—The proper time to take the objection would have been after conviction ; but, in this case, you must take it before the plea. Mr. Sergeant MANNING then cited a case from 3 Carrington and Payne's Reports, p. 425, to show the course of proceeding. In the case he cited—it being questioned whether a particular count in an indictment fir felony was not bad, upon demurrer upon an objection, the Learned Judge, in the case referred to, directed, to save the public time, that the case should be pro ceeded with, and. in the case of co . ivietion, the primmer shouid have the benefit of arguing the point afterwards. The JUDGE—For what purpose do you cite this, Sergeant Manning ? You have already demurred. lam ready to hear your argument ; I do not want a case to tell me that I should do so. Mr. Sergeant MANNING—Very well, my Lord. The ob jection is this. The verdict states—" That the prisoners, with force and arms, upon the high seas, in and upon one Thomas Palmer, in the peace of God and our Lady the Queen, then being in a certai n vesse l, k nown as t h e F e lich'ade, did feloni ously and wilfully make an assault." Now, this being a statu table offence, I submit that this indictment should have con cluded contra formara statutis. 'I he JunGE—What is the statute that makes murder upon the high seas a statutable offence ? Mr. Sergeant MANNING—The statute of Henry VIII. The JUDGE—The statute of Henry VIII. 1 They used to treat murder as a statutable offence before the time of Henry VIII. Air. Sergeant MANNING—Yes, but it was cognisable by the Civil Court prior to that ; and not now being a cognisable offence at common law, it is incumbent on the prosecutor to allege that this offence was committed against the form of the statute. Mr. COLLIER—The definition, my Lord, is that the offence is committed in some county in this realm, in rerum natures within the peace. Then, not being committed in any county, it is clear that if it is cognisable it is cognisable by some statute; and if by any statute, it is necessary to aver that the offence was against the statute. The JUDGE—It appears to me that this crime of murder upon the high seas was cognisable by the Lord High Admiral before the statute of Henry VIII. The statute of Henry VIII. was passed for the purpose of amending the law, and declaring that the mode of trial should be according to the common law of this realm, by which means, those who were to be tried should be entitled to a jury. Since that time an Act of Parliament has been passed for the purpose of directing where the Lerd High Admiral should hold his sessions. The trial is, therefore, to be taken before a jury. The clime re mains the same, and is not touched by any statute. The interpreter now put the question to Majaval. Interpreter—He says he is not guilty of anything of the kind. The fourth prisoner said that the magistrates and the bench must decide whether he was guilty or not. Clerk of Arraigns—Tell him he must answer. Mr. COLLIER (prisoner's counsel)—This interpreter speaks Spanish—they don't understand him, for they are l'ortuguese. The interpreter told them all to rise, and they did so. He said, " You see, my Lord, they all understand me." JUDGE—They do not make any difficulty about it. All the prisoners now pleaded Not Guilty. The following were now called on the PETTY JUKY—Richard Veale, James Gill, William New ton, Jun., Henry Manle3, Thomas Tout, William Rendle. Fo reigners —Francis Duvai, Francis Adolphe Moschisker, Joseph Viviani, Paul Courti, Anselm Speigelhader, Matthias Brown. They were then severally swOrti — to try the prisoners on the charge tor the murder of Thomas Palmer, Janees Majaval, as principal, and the others aiding and abetting. 11r. Gods.cn addressed the jury for the prosecution. The same witnesses who were examined at Plymouth ware then called, and repeated the evidence which they gave on that occasion, and which has recently appeared in extenso in the co lumns of The Sun. The trial lasted over the whole of Thurs day and Friday. The Counsel for the prisoners having severally addressed the jury— The Learned JUDGE summed up. He commenced by stating that the ten prisoners stood charged with a very heinous offence, and which required their patient attention. He was clearly of opinion the prisoners must be treated as Brazilians, because sailing under the Brazilian flag; if this was not the case, then an American crew might navigate a Brazilian slaver, and carry on in her that trade which had been de clared piracy, and be irresponsible. The Felicitaee was a piratical vessel, and liable to be boarded by her Majesty's cruisers, and the crew treated as pirates. The vessel having been so taken, ceased to be a Brazilian vessel, and must be considered as one of the boats of the Wasp. As such she had taken another vessel, the Echo, as a piratical vessel, and he was bound to tell them that that too was a legal capture. and the captors were legally on hoard of her, and within the peace of the Queen. The vessel was then the do minion of her Majesty, and if during that period any English man had murder, d a foreigner on board of her, he would be liable to be hanged, according to the English laws. His Lord- ship concluded a very impressive charge, which lasted upwards of two hours, by solemnly imploring the jury to do their duty, however painful it might be, and regardless of the consequence. They held the scales of justice, in a matter of life and death, and they must exercise it calmly and dispassionately. The jury, after a short consultation, asked to retire. After an absence of three-quarters of an hour the jury returned, the prisoners were then brought in, and the Learned Judge having taken his seat— The Clerk of Arraigns—Gentlemen of the jury, are you all agreed in your verdict? The Foreman—Yes. Do you find isnees Majaval Guilty or Not Guilty? The Foreman—Guilty. The same question and answer was put and given with re spect to Francisco Serva, Maria Jose Alves, Florenco Ribeira, Juan Francisco, Jose Maria Martinos, and Antonia Joaquim, who were all severally Pronounced Guilty. Manuel Antonio, Joze Antonio, and Sebastian De Santos were each pronounced Not Guilty ; an intense interest reigned throughout the Court. In reply to a question through Sergeant Manning, the Jury said they convicted on the third count, for drowning, &c. The Clerk of the Arraigns—Have you anything to say why the Court should not award judgment? Majaval (through the interpreter)—l have nothing to say more than one thing, that all they have sworn to is false. The others, with the exception of Jose Francisco and Alves, said nothing. The Learned JUDGE then proceeded to pass sentence of death. You have been all found guilty, after a most careful trial, by a verdict of the jury—a jury who have exhibited feel ings which do them high honour—who, notwithstanding the bloody deed out of which this investigation arises, have dealt with every mercy and considerate attention for you: protection. They have sifted the evidence and the testimony of the wit nesses with that care which their duty called for, and which have been preeminently exhibited upon this melancholy occa sion. Aithoug,h none of you shed a tear for yourselves, they shed tears over your misfortunes. (Majaval shook his head in ci edulously. ) Ti.ey are tears which are honourable to their Christian feelings, but this is not a case for tears; the justice of the country must be vindicated with all its severity, although it will extend to you more time for preparation than you gave to those unfortunate men to meet their end. You were engaged in an odious traffic, denounced by all the Christian powers of Europe. You were engaged in breaking the law, which had been pas,ed between your own nation and this coun try ; and in order to extricates yourselves from the consequences of that wicked course, you did not flin• h frem shedding Chris tian blood. " Who,o sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood he shed." And that passage which we should all have in memory, and close to our hearts, will be carried out in execution against you all. In dealing in this guilty traffic, you might have submitted to the power by which you were captured. But this rebellion against that power, amounted to the crime of piracy itself. The particular offence, however, of which you are found guilty, and for which you will suffer, is the deprivation of life—depriving this unhappy young man of his life by the cowardly and dastardly wounds dealt behind upon this poor young man. His blood is rising up for justice, and demands that the ministers of justice should visit your offence with the utmost punishment. The sentence of the Court upon you and each of you is, that for this foul murder, of which you have been respectively found guilty, you be taken from hence to the place from whence you came, and from thence, at the usual time, you be conveyed to the place of execution, and that there you be hung respectively by the neck until you be dead. An awful scene of consternation ensued among the prisoners. Serva maintained his placidity to the end, but his heart ap peared to die within him. They were all removed handcuffed. The three who were acquitted will be discharged. POLICE IN TELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) MANSTO V-HOUSE. A boy named Robert Prevost, aged 13, was brought before the Lord Mayor in the custody of Daniel Forrester, and charged under the following circumstances :- 11r. Weir, of the office of Messrs. Freshfield and Co., soli citors to the Bank of England, stated the case. The boy had appeared at the Bank about twelve o'clock on that day, and presented a cheek purporting to be drawn by Mr. Bateman, of Billingsgate-market, for 60!. 10s. The clerk who received the cheque suspected that it was a forgery, and making some ex cuse for not paying it, returned it to the boy, who then left the Bank, but returned in about an hour and handed it with some writing upon it to the clerk, who, perceiving that the signature was not genuine, detained the boy. The boy then in answer to questions put to him, said that while be was walking in Fenchurch-street, a gentleman crossed the way to him, asked him whether he wished to earn sixpence, and desired him to go to the Bank and present the piece of paper and come out to him. Mr. William John Donald, a clerk in the drawing-office of the Bank of England, stated that the boy presented the cheque to him for payment. It purported to be drawn by William R. Bateman in favour of Henry Jones. Mr. Bate man kept an account at the Bank. Witness suspected that the writing was not Mr. Bateman's, and seeing that the check was crossed, returned it to the prisoner. stating that ob jection. The boy went away, but cline back in an hour with the same cheque, on the back of which was same writ. ing, to the effect that the drawer had crossed it in a mistake. The notification on the cheque purported to be the writing of Mr. Bateman, but witness at once saw that it had not been written by that gentleman. Mr. Edward Bateman, son of Mr. Bateman, stated that the writing in the cheque was not his father's. It bore a resem blance to his father's writing, and the cheque was one belonging to his father's cheque book. The LORD Marron. asked the prisoner if he wished to say anything? The boy—l do, my Lord. I was going along Fenchurch street, ar.d a gentleman crossed over to me, and asked me whether I wished to earn sixpence? 1 said yes. He said, then go with thi , piece of paper and present it at the Bank, and h , told me he should wait for me outside, at the back of the building. I went in and handed it to the gentle man, who said there was something wrong in it, and gave it back to tae. I then went to the gentleman and told him what was said to me, and he said he would soon alter it, and he took me with him to a public-house, and took a pen out of his hat, and wrote something upon the paper, and told me to take it in again, and to come to him to the back of the Royal Exchange, but when I went the sec nd time I did not see him. The Loan MAYoß—Have you not been there with another cheque? Boy—Never ; 1 never was in the place before in all my life. The prisoner was then remanded. BOW-S I HEFT. A respectably dressed man, named Lewis John Lemoine, was charged with forging the name of Mr. William Dethick, with intent to obtain scrips of the Portbury Railway Company, value '251. It appeared from the evidence of the secretary and his assistant, that a letter had been forwarded to the office of the Comp 4ny, 449, Strand, by Messrs. Oswald, solicitors, of Bristol, which contained an application for the scrip from a person who signed the name of William Dethick, and stated that he resided at Fulham, giving the name of Messrs. Drum mond, the bankers, as a reference. The scrips were allotted, and between one and two o'clock to day the prisoner called at the office, and produced one of the circulars of the company. He stated that his name was William Dethick, and he had come to sign the deeds and receive the scrips. One of the as sistants in the ofl•ee named Willis handed him the d eds, and when he had signed, he ( Willis) compared the handwriting with that of letters which had been received from Nlr. Dethick, and, finding it did not correspond, he accused the prisoner of not being Mr. Dethick. The prisoner replied that he was. Mr. Willis then proposed that they should go together to Messrs. Drummond's, in order that he might be identified. The prisoner consented, but on getting outside the office he said it was no use troubling him to go to Drummond's, as he would admit the truth, that he was not Mr. Dethick, but had been induced by a person who was waiting for him at Keppel-court, to go and sign the deeds, and obtain the scrip. Willis instantly sent for a constable and gave him into custody. Mr. Wood, the secretary, stated that he very much doubted whether there was such a person as Mr. Dethick, and it was his opinion that this was an attempt to defraud the t ompany. The prisoner admitted that his name was not Dethick, but declared that he had been employed by a person who said he would wait for him at Keppel-court, to sign and obtain the Si rip. He would describe him to the officers, and they could no doubt find him waiting there, or at a public-house in Angel- court. Mr. BINGHAM (who sat for Mr. Jardine) ordered him to be remanded until Thursday, and directed the officers to use their utmost exertions to apprehend the other person. He believed the practice of obtaining scrip by false representa tions was carried on to a great extent. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Thomas Parker was brought before Mr. Maltby, charged with having attempted to defraud the London and Westminster Bank, No. 1, St. James's square, of 1301., by means of a forged cheque. Mr. Oliver Vile, manager of the bank, said the prisoner came into the office and prsented a cheque for 1 0/., purporting to be drawn by Mr. John Gough Nicholls, a customer. The cheque was immediately discovered to be a forgery, and infor mation having been brought to him, he questioned the prisoner respecting the possession of the cheque, and the replies ° f tue prisoner were to the effect that it had been given to him Mr. Murray, a translator of languages, to get cashed• to police-constable was called, and the prisoner was give n in cu-tody. The prisoner said he was guilty of offering the cheque. lie had received it from a person who lived in the City - roa d, oh° went under two names--He was remanded. Curious CASE.—An elderly man, of very respectabl e pearance, was brought into court, and placed at the bar bni°7 Mr. Maltby, under these circumstances. On the police -sbee' the charge was " Lazarus Jaques, tailor, Swaffham, for obstructing the doorway of Sir J. Graham, in Hill-stre ° and refusing to go away when required." eel Police-constable C 188, said he was on duty in Hin , tr on that day, when he saw the defendant walking up and d": before the door of Sir J. Graham's residence, 31, Iliii -s T; el b The defendant at length sat down on the doorstep, upon vs..' I a servant came out and desired him to remove. The defends% refused, and began to smoke a cigar. Witness was called, be on requesting the defendant to go away, the defendant said came to see Sir James, and if he waited a month he would 6 4 , 0 him. The defendant added, if witness took him away, as s°- N as he reaind his librty he would return. Inspector g e e Squires said Sir James Graham and Colon' Rowan had been informed of the occurrence, and the case I'd', been sent to this court, as some suspicion existed that the ad fondant was not quite right in his mind. The defendan t 1 ! h with him a large book, which apparently related to pm' accounts. had Mr. MALTBY agked the defendant what exp‘anation he o give?—The defendant said he was hard of hearing, and f fore he could give an answer he must first knew the nature 0 the The charge. charge having been explained to him, he sai d •„ be g had filled the office of overseer of Swaffharn, and ha k t , gone out :of office, he was anxous to have the ac You r. properly investigated.
