SUN, LONDON, SUDDEN DEATH OF THE EARL OF LIVERPOOL. We regret to announce the death of the Right Honourable the Earl of Liverpool, which took place suddenly, at his residence, Buxted Park, Sussex, this morning (Friday). It appears that the Noble Lord being indisposed, on Monday last, Mr. Prince, surgeon, of IJckfield, was sent for, and found his Lordship suffering under slight attack of pleurisy. No dangerous symptoms, however, appear to have manifested themselves, as his Lordship was perfectly able to leave his room, and it VMS not until Thursday that it was considered ad visable to obtain additional medical assistance. On that day, however, as a precautionary measure, a message was dispatched for Dr. Brown, of Brighton, who was speedily in attendance, and having con sulted respecting the proper treatment, returned to thartown, leaving Mr. Prince in attendance on his Lordship. At that time the Noble Lord evidently thought the attack was not of a serious character for he would not allow any one to sit up during the night, and it was only by - Mr. Prince's directions that, unknown to his Lordship, a person did remain in attendance. That there was then some anxiety manifested, however, by those around his Lordship is evident from the fact that a messenger was dispatched that night to the Isle of Wight to inform his Lordship's eldest daughter, Lady Caroline Harcourt, of her noble parent's illness. It was about eleven o'clock when his Lordship re tired for the night. A foot bath was placed for his use, and the servants retired. It was the last time the Noble Lord was seen alive. At half-past two on Friday morning, Mr. Prince and his Lordship's valet knocked at the door of his sleeping apartment, in order to administer the medicine which had been prescribed. These was no answer. Thinking his Lordship had fallen asleep, they opened the door, and there they were indeed startled by the sight that presented itself. His Lordship usually slept in a sofa bedstead, which stood against the wall of the apartment. On this bed stead, in a sitting position, his head supported by the Wall, lay the Noble Lord—life was quite extinct, and at least an hour and a half (it was calculated) must have elapsed since his Lordship's decease. The foot-bath hal evidently been used, and every preparation usual with his Lordship before '.Sing down had been made. It is of course impossible now to accr tain precisely when the lamentable event occu rre d ; but it is supposed, from his Lordship's position, that he died just as he was getting into bed, being sud denly seized with a spasm of the heart, which was the proximate cause of his Lordship's decease. The bell, which was quite within reach of his Lordship, W 33 never rung, which almost renders it certain that his death must, have been frightfully suiden. Immediate steps were taken to convey the rns!a ec a o l.- gence to his Lordship's relatives, wh o 3rs h o urly expected at Buxted. Lard Liverpool leaves Do male issue, and as there are no collateral relatives in the male line, the titles of Earl of Liverpool and Baron Liaallteshury are extinct, and the extensive estates devolve upon his daughters and co-heiresso.

The lead l o d e at Wheal Clitr , :nce is improvi ng a t a l most every p o i n t ; and this part of the concern presents a very fa vourable appearance, THE GREAT MOSAIC TROPHY AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. Few works of art i❑ the Crystal Palace have commanded more surprise and admiration than the elaborate and beautiful mosaic pictures, standing so prominently in the centre of the western nave, re presenting the ruins of the Temples of Pzestum and the surrounding scenery, by Rinaldi, of Rome, one of which was executed for the Emperor of Russia. Copies of celebrated works, by Raphael and other masters, have been executed in mosaic, and have the effect of paintings produced in the usual way, though they are attended with infinitely greater cost, and ore, beyond all comparison, more laborious and tediDus in their process. As each separate piece of glass is of the same colour throughout, the graduation of tints, the melting off any one colour, from its highest light to it.s darkest shadow, can be obtained only by an immense number of small pieces, of which those contiguous to each other exhibit scarcely any perceptible difference to the eye. The sole advantage in any degree proportionate to the cost attending it is the extreme durability of the work when once ac complished. For a long period after the decline of the arts, mosaic painting continued to be employed in Italy, both externally and internally, fur the decoration of churches ; as, fur instance, on the façade as well as within the basilica of St. Mark, at Venice. Some have supposed that such productions were entirely , the work of Byzantine or Greek artists, but the con trary opinion is maintained by Cicognara, who as serts that mosaic wan practised by native Italians, and that it was well known to the earliest Venetians. The works under our notice are the most extensive of the kind that have ever been submitted to public inspection. We are so accustomed to the smaller types of this most minute and delicate art, as to re gard its development on a wider field with wonder and suspicion. The beautiful picture of which this is a material fac-simile, appears as though it were fresh from the easel of the artist, rather than from the bands of the manipulator. The chef d'euvre of the Gobe lhas room, the " Destruction of the Mamelukes," after Horace Vernet, is not a truer copy of its great orii4itlai. It is impossible to award higher praise. . 31 .1.M . i.'i G IN TEL LI GEN CE. (From the a- • g Journal.)

METROPOLITAN SEWERS COMMISSION On Friday a court was held at the Sessions-house, Newington-causeway--present, the chairman (Mr. Lewes), Sir John Burgoyne, Mr. Hawes, and Cap tain Dawson. The accountant reported that the available balance amounted to 6,3761., and necessary payments to the extent of 9641. received the sanction of the court. Some applications of no general inte rest were then disposed of. THE ESSEX-STREET SEWER. The CHAIRMAN said it would be recollected that a short time ago the consideration of the Essex-street outlet had been entered upon, and some discussion having taken piece, the matter had been referred back to the engineer to prepare a detailed plan and estimate. It was then suggested that the work should not be merely of a temporary character. Keeping that suggestion in view, the engineer had prepared the following report :—" In obedience to the instruc tions of a former Court I have examined the outlet of the Essex-street sewer again, with a view of covering it over to low-water mark. And having taken into consideration the suggestion of the Commissioners, that this might be a permanent work, I have to re commend that 300 feet in length of cast-iron pipes, three feet in diameter, be laid down under the surface of the river bed to low water mark, and that a flap should be hung upon the present out let to keep the effluvia from issuing from the mouth of the present sewer to the inconvenience of the public, and fur the discharge of extraordinary storm waters. The estimate for the work will be 5681. The difference between this proposition and that sub mitted in my last report, is in the material—that being a wooden trunk, this being an iron pipe. At about one-third the length of this pipe it will ulti mately be connected with the main low level sewer, end the remainder of its length will then serve as an overflow in cases of very heavy rains, so that the whole of this work will be of a permanent character, and afford general benefit, and should be paid for out of the district rates. And as the discharge at low water mark will be into the channel of the river, the nuisance to the public frequenting the steam-boat pier, arising from the stench, will be as far as practi cable removed. The river being permitted to rise every tide up the pipes into the sewer will leave the sewer, after this work is finished, in the same condi tion as at present, and there will be therefore no fear of the sewer being overcbargcd with back water or the tide." Captain DAWSON thought the present position far more desirable than the previous one, but he was of opinion that the inhabitants should contribute some thing towards the work. The CHAIRMAN considered that the work would prove beneficial to the pub!c in general, and would, therefore, recommend that the expense be defrayed out of the district rates. Captain DAW6ON would not pte. , es his objection, con ceiving the work one likely to prove most acceptable to a large ()less of persons. The work was then ordered to be executed, as were also the undermentioned :—The construction of 1,640 feet of sewer in Phillimore-place ' Ken sington, 9521. ; the con s tr uc ti on o f 3,278 feet of pipe sewer in London-street and Hyde-vale, Green wich, 840/. ; laying down 990 feet of pipe sewer in line of open sewer at the rear of Clarendon-place, Camberwell,llsl. Other minor works were then agreed to, and after disposing of the cases of several defaulting ratepayers, the Court adjourned. LIVERPOOL COUNTY COURT, Friday. THE REPORTERS AND THE PRESS. At half-past ten o'clock his Honour the Judge opened the court. The attendance was very thin. After some preliminary business, his Honour, in an address, made another attack on the reports which had appeared in the papers as not being sufficiently full or accurate. The only reporter then present challenged his Honour to disprove the verity of any paragraph or notice of his proceedings which he had ever written, and said he felt convinced that there was no truly recognised reporter of any paper in Liverpool who dared to offer the proprietor an account he was not prepared by his notes to prove as accurate. Some manifestations of applause were here indulged in, and his Honour disclaimed any intention of alluding to the reporter who addressed him ; on the contrary, he respected the courteous manner in which the charge had been repudiated. The reporter said he was convinced, if the warm-heartedness of which his Honour had spoken were sincere (which no one of right mind would doubt after the solemn asseveration of his Honour), that the remark with regard to the report was, at least, inconsiderate. His Honour at the conclusion of the business of the court again assured the reporter that he did not intend to insult him, as he (the reporter) had ever showed respect to that court. The reporter thanked his Honour, but he begged to observe that he was not speaking for himself alone but for the profession to which he belonged, and that he was only vindicating the character of honourable men —men, he hoped, who were above suspicion, and who were not present to defend themselves.

THE ROBBERIES IN NEWCASTLE -COURT AND SHIRE-LANE.—Ann Mingay, alias Lady Mansfield, aged 45, Jane Owen, a woman of colour, aged 29, Ellen Smith, aged 24, and Julia Divine, aged 21, were indicted, charged with having stole❑ two Bank of England notes of the value of 10/. each, and 15 sovereigns, the property of Edmund Digby Anstice, from his person. Mr. Parry and Mr. Ribton conducted the prosecu tion ' • Mr. Payne defended O wen an d Di v i ne, and Mr. Metcalfe was counsel for Smith. Mr. PARRY, in stating the case to the jary, said that the present prosecution bad been instituted by the parochial authorities of St. Clement Danes, with the view of cleansing certain parts of their parish of some impurities with which it was infested. H e might probably add too, that the fact of the authori ties coming forward in these prosecutions for the pur pose of purifying the parish might be taken as a proa that the animadversions which had lately fallen from the L earne d S ergean t th e A ss i s t an t-J u d ge of those sessions were undeserved and unmerited. The Learned Counsel then entered into the details of the case, which may be thus briefly described : It appeared that the prosecutor, who stated that he was in independent circumstances, and lived in the Mosley-road, Birm la w g h l?Ez, had come up to London t o sell out some stock he had in the Bank, and that on the 9th o f lastin month he had mad e a s al e o f 251. stock, w hi c h realisedfor him, after deduction of the broker's charges, 24/. 3 for which amount he received a cheque upon 3. 4 11 . iessrs. Currie, e bankers, in C orn hill. In exchange for the chequeth he received two Bank of England notes of copp er . W hat ot . 10/. each, an d the the remainder in go ld, silver, and became of the pros ecu t or duringrest . of th e d ay was not elicited, and no account was until he stated that h e me t the prisTeer n ` n ` f Lad - hinl y Mansfield," in a public-house i n Drury-lane and that he remained drinking with her and Paying' forall the liquor from out of his purse, in which all his money was, all night and until long after daylight had arrived, when they left the public-house in a cab, accompanied by the other prisoner, Smith. S em , time before they quitted in the cab another woman had snatched off and ran away with his hat, where upon " Lady Mansfield" said she would look after the woman and his hat for him. The prosecutor and his two companions, in the first instance, drove from Drury-lane to Newcastle-court, in the Strand, and having gone to the Grapes public-house, they there had something more to drink. From Newcastle-court they drove to Shire lane, Temple-bar, and here they went to the house kept by the black woman, Jane Owen. Upon going into one of the rooms upstairs with " Lady Mansfield" and Smith, the prosecutor found another woman in bed in that room. Here they had divers liquors to drink, which were brought up to them by the black woman, whom he paid from his purse, so that that pri soner had ample opportunities of seeing that he had a considerable sum of money about him. When they had been at 0 vven's half an hour the prosecutor caught the prisoner Smith in the act of drawing his purse from his pocket. He took the purse from her after some difficulty, and, having seen that the money in his purse was safe, they bad more to drink, and when the black woman brought up the fresh supply he told Smith, in her presence, not to try on again the game of robbing him. A short time after he had par taken of this further liquor the prosecutor became insensible, and having remained so for several hours, he at length, upon his recovery, found himself stand ing in Shire-lane, and on examining his purse found that the whole of its contents had been taken with the exception of the stockbroker's "sold note." The prose cutor thereupon gave information to the police, and the whole of the prisoners were apprehended in the course of the evening of the 10th. "Lady Mans field" was found in a state of intoxication upon the floor of one of the rooms at the Grapes, in Newcastle court. Owen was taken in her own kitchen, and Smith was taken from her bed, evidently the worse for drink. All of the prisoners denied any knowledge of the robbery when apprehended, and protested their innocence. 'When Divine was taken and was told what she was charged with, she inquired if " Lady Mans field" was in custody. The officer informed her that not only " Lady Mansfield' but that " Black Jenny" (Owen) was also in custody, and then she exclaimed, " Then lam done." The black woman denied that she had ever handled the man's money. It, however, appeared from the evidence of a girl of the name of Alexander, who lives at the black woman's house, that she saw the prosecutor come there in the company of " Lady Mansfield' and Smith, and that some time af terwards she heard the men swearing very loudly and complaining that some of the women had tried to rob him. Some hoursisubsequently this girl wentdown stairs to ask Owen for a jug of water, and then she saw the prosecutor on the floor, lying as though asleep, with z,(auos lu dt aroused s girl's something notm eatoyn (g l application eto for he r then a his head under the so f a . O wen at t hi s t i me was stauding by the door o f th e room, an d i n rep l y to the somes she water wassaid that engaged she c Some time after this the girl hea lse. ring the prosecutor being pushed or dragged down stairs, and on looking from the win dow she saw the man in the court. Evidence was also given which went to prove that the black woman, accompanied by Divine ) a girl of the name of Byrne, who was dismissed by the magistrate, and Smith, had made purchases of articles of clothing at different shops for which she had paid with the two 101. notes, which a reference to the banker's book proved to have been the notes which had been stolen from the prose cutor on the day in question. Mr. Payne and Mr. Metcalfe made powerful ap peals on behalf of their respective clients. Mr. Witham then' summed up the evidence. The jury, after a brief consultation, returned a ver dict of Guilty against Owen, " Lady Mansfield," and Smith. and of Acquittal with respect to Divine, Blatchford, the inspector of the F division of police, now stated that " Lady Mansfield" and the black felony,w m a n butad been that t f h r e e y q u h e a n d t l the parties whom they had robbed were either y i n i v u a r c i tl a s le t l o y d y g got no charges u s o e f ashamed, being married men, to appear as prosecutors, or refused to take the trouble to appear. Smith had been tried for stealing a watch, but was not convicted. As to the black woman, she had long been known as a most expert thief, and her house had obtained so much notoriety that the police had received orders to caution all persons they might see about to enter it. She had for a long time lived in a brothel in New castle-court, and had subsequently become the keeper of this brothel in Shire lane. Mr. WirnAm said it was most lamentable to meet with such a case as this, where women had fallen into such depths of degradation. The sentence upon each of the three prisoners was six months' imprisonment with hard labour ; and let them take this warning— namsly, that if they should be again convicted in that court their punishment would be transportation. While the next case was being tried, A policeman informed the Court that the husband of the black woman had threatened the witness Alex ander with violence, in consequence of her having given evidence against his wife. Mr. WrruAm desired the officer to tell the man that he wanted to speak to him. The husband presently came into court, when Mr. WrraAm asked him if he was not ashamed of the disgraceful life he had been leading, living in famously on the prostitution of his wife, and aiding her in all probability in the robbery of the victims who might have been drawn to their house. It had been stated that he had threatened to punish one of the witnesses for having appeared against his wife on that occasion. Now the Court would inform him that if he dared to commit any violence upon that young woman he would be himself most severely dealt with. _ _ and promised not to hu r t or ma l treat t h e g i r l . The husband begged pardon f or h av i ng use d th e Davis, aged 39, plead e d G u il ty to an indict thrAeantn, ment, charging her with harin g un l aw f u ll y assau l te d and done grevious bodily harm to Ellen Davis, her daughter, of the age of eight a n d a h a lf years. The details of this painful case appeared in our columns during the past week. Mr. WiTuAm said that this was one of the most cruel and barbarouse cases he had ever h ear d of.

Th e sen tence upon the prisoner was imprisonment for six months with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. It will be recollected that some weeks ago Mr. F. W. Thomaq, a highly respectable auctioneer in the City, was summoned before Sir Peter Laurie, at the instance of a tnusicseller of the name of Fairchild, to show cause why he refused to deliver up a pianoforte which had been left at his auction rooms by a Mr. Metz for sale, and upon which a sum of 141. had been advanced by him. It was then contended by the de fendant that every precaution consistent with the custom of the trade, in respect to the advance by auctioneers of money upon property, had been adopted, by making inquiries into the character of Metz, who had lived thirty years in the place in which he at that time resided, during the principal part of which time he exercised the calling of a teacher of music. After having heard Mr. Fisher for the complainant, and Mr. Dalton for the defendant, Sir Peter Laurie decided that the pianoforte should be restored to its original owner, and assigned as one of the reasons for his judgment that Mr. Thomas had not exercised proper discretion in making the advance, Metz having depo sited two pianofortes with the defendant—a fact which the magistrate considered should have at once sug gested suspicion that the instrument had not come into :the possession of Metz by honest means. An order for the restoration of the intrument was, in accordance with the decision of the alderman, served upon the defendant, who still refused to deliver it up, except upon the condition of being reimbursed the sum he had advanced ; thereupon a second;summons was issued, and the case was again brought before the Court. 111 r. Alderman WIRE presided upon the hearing o: the second summons. Mr. Dalton, on the part of the defendant, now con tended that although upon the former occasion he had not discussed the question whether the magistrate had or had not jurisdiction, and had been content to allow the decision to go upon the merits, he had at present to urge that the order for the restoration of the piano forte was one which Sir Peter Laurie had no power whatever to make, and that, supposing the alderman had that power, he had made it wrongly upon the facts of the case as then presented to him. Alderman WIRE---You had a full opportunity, when the case was under discussion before Sir Peter Laurie, of going into the merits, and the Act of Par liament leaves it at the absolute discretion of the ma gistrate either to allow or disallow the return of the money advanced by the defendant upon property of this description. I find nothing in the Act to compel the magistrate to order the money advanced to be returned to a defendant upon the restoration of the property. The order for the delivery of the pianoforte to Mr. Fairchild, without the return of the 141. ad vanced upon the instrument by Mr. Thomas to Metz, must be enforced. Mr. Thomas (the defendant)—Will you allow an appeal, as I should like to try the question in another court? Alderman WIRE-4 wish I could, in order that the law might be thor oug hly settled upon this most important subject; but it is now too late for notice of appeal. Mr. Goodman (the chief clerk)—The instrument will be delivered to Mr. Fairchild this afternoon ? - Mr. Dalton—Certainly ; we will deliver up the pianoforte this afternoon and commence an action. Mr. Goodman—Mr. Fairchild will be good enough to attend at Mr. Thomas's sale rooms to take the in strument away. T H E MONO AY EVENING, OCTOBER 6, lB5l. BOW-STREET. A young man, who refused to state his name, address, or business occupation, but assumed the cognomen of Henry Howard for the purposes of ex amination, was charged with forging a post office order for 51. Mr. Thomas Baker, the postmaster at Kingston, deposed to having issued a post-office order for ls. to a young man on the 3d of February last. The same order was now produced, but the figures bad been altered and the words partly erased so as make it ap parently an order for 51. Witness remembered issuing another shilling order to the applicant at the same time, the advices in both cases being made out and transmitted to the General Post-office in the usual manner. _ _ . The prisoner refused to say anything to the charge, and it being understood that there were several others of a similar kind to be preferred against him, Mr. HENRY remanded him for further examination. Henry Maplestone was charged with embezzling 101. belonging to his employer, Mr. A. T. Burrell, printer, of Buckingham-street. The prisoner had been intrusted with about 531. to pay an account due from Mr. Burrell to Messrs. Staple and Co. He retained the amount for several weeks and then paid only 431., which was subse quently discovered in the course of other business transactions with the firm. The prisioner then wrote a penitent letter confessing his defalcations, and at tributing them to an unfortunate connexion with a worthless woman. Mr. HENRY, after remarking that Mr. Burrell should have taken the precaution to cross the cheque which formed the greater part of the sum, remanded the prisoner for further examination. WESTMINSTER. George Stuckey was finally examined, charged with extensive embezzlement. He had been since Christmas in the service of Mr. Philips, wholesale oilman, Strutton-ground, as a car man, until Saturday fortnight, when he suddenly disappeared, without having given any notice. It was subsequently ascertained that he had embezzled several sums of money, and ho was apprehended on board Mrs. Chisholm's ship, the Athenian, bound for Port Philip. He intreated forgiveness, and impor tuned his master to enter into an arrangement with him, as his wife and family were on board the ship, which would sail in two or three days ; but as his de falcation was very considerable, and as it was clear he was emigrating at the expense of his employer,: Mr. Philips of course refused to listen to any such pro posals. - - - - - It was stated that there were no less than be tween 50 and 100 cases of embezzlement against the , accused, but as three were deemed sufficient to pro ceed with for all the purposes of law, the depositions were taken on those, and the prisoner was fully com mitted for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. Sarah Homer, Catherine Connell, and Mary Tucker, three stylishly-dressed women, were on re examination charged with being engaged in a sys tematic plan of shoplifting. The particulars of the first case gone into, in which it was proved that the prisoners had stolen two rolls of lace, consisting of between thirty and forty yards, from the shop of a draper named Hunter, ap peared in our paper last week, and Sergeant Lang don, after intimating that a still furthar portion of the property found in the women's possertion, had been since identified by a tradesman then in atten dance, called Calvin Lenny, assistant to Mr. John Gibbons, a draper at Kingsland, who stated—About half-past four in the afternoon of Friday se'nnight the priso ners Homer and Connell called at our shop, and asked to be shown some riband velvet. Connell made the request, and I placed a box containing an assort ment before her, but of which she only purchased a yard and a half. Their appearance was respectable, and they were therefore asked if they would like to luok at some silk ribands, to which they assented, and on a quantity being exhibited to them, they purchased a portion of that also, but only about a couple of yards, and then left. About eight o'clock the same evening the detective officer called with a quantity of property stated to have been discovered in the prisoner's pos session, and I immediately identified six rolls of riband and a roll of riband velvet he produced among the other articles as my employer's property, and which must have been stolen from the boxes that had been placed before the prisoners for their inspection, as it had not been sold, and I had seen the property safe just before they called; hut the robbery had been effected with such dexterity that I had not the slightest idea of its absence until the officer called and showed it me. -- --- Mrs. Harriette Kemp, the female searcher at the Kingsland station, proved finding the property so identified in the prisoner's possession ; and it having been stated by a City detective officer that he had followed one of the prisoners some time since for a long distance while engaged in similar practices, but that she ultimately succeeded in eluding him a consi derable way out of town, the prisoners, who offered ❑o observations in answer to either of the charges, were ordered to be committed until that day week for the completion of the evidence against them. LAMBETH. Wnz. Wardell, a middle-aged man of respectable appearance, was placed at the bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton, on a charge of attempting to obtain 201. from the South-Western Railway Company by fraud and false pretences. Mr. Cornelius Stovin, the manager of traffic of the South-Western Railway, and Mr. W. F. Godson, the superintendent of the Waterloo station, were in at tendance for the prosecution; and Mr. Games ap peared on behalf of the prisoner, Mr. Joseph llaydon, the banker and magistrate at Guildford, in whose service the prisoner had been, was also present and on the bench during the inves- tigation. - Mr. Stovin was the first witness examined, and stated that on the 23d of last month he received a let ter from Mr. Haydon, at Guildford, complaining of the alleged loss of a portmanteau, which letter he handed to Mr. Godson, for the purpose of having the necessary inquiries made respecting the missing article. Mr. Wm. Frederick Godson deposed, that on the 23d of September he received Mr. Haydon's letter from Mr. Stovin, and in consequence set on foot all the necessary inquiries respecting the alleged missing property, but without being able to hear anything about it. On the 26th the prisoner came to the Wa terloo station, and said he was the bearer of a letter from his master to Air. Harding, the secretary. In reply to his (Mr. Godson's) questions the prisoner on this occasion said that he had been a passenger on the railway on the 19th ; that he had given his luggage, two carpet bags and a portmanteau, to a porter at the Vauxhall station when he got into the train, but on reaching Guildford the portmanteau was not forth coming. He then asked him what was the last time he saw the portmanteau, and the prisoner replied at the Vauxhall station, where he saw the porter put it into the boot of one of the carriages, and complained that the guard to the train had not stopped at Guild ford sufficiently long to make the necessary search. Witness asked him if he thought he should be able to point out the porter at the Vauxhall station who had taken the luggage from him, and he said he thought he should, and went to that station for the purpose. Mr. NORTON—Are you aware, Mr. Godson, whether he has pointed out any one at that station as the person who received the portmanteau ? Mr. Godson—l am not aware, Sir. My impres sion at that time was that the prisoner's representa tions were correct, and that he had lost the portman teau, and that it would be found on further inquiry. He (Mr. Godson) sent Kearney, an officer belonging to the company, and who had been engaged in making the necessary inquiries on the subject, to the prisoner, to procure from him a description of the property alleged to have been lost and an estimate of its value, and that officer brought him the document he now produced, and in which the prisoner made a claim for 201., the alleged value of the property he had lost. On Friday afternoon witness went down to Guildford, and finding the prisoner in the service of Mr. Haydon, the banker, he gave him into the custody of Sergeant Goff, of the Metropolitan police. In his cross-examination by Mr. Games the wit ness admitted that the document put in was a mere written statement by the prisoner of the value, and he (the prisoner) had made no actual demand for the money. Mr. Joseph Haydon deposed that he was a banker and magistrate at Guildford, in Surrey, and that on Friday, the 19th of last month, the prisoner, whom he had engaged as an in-door servant, came down by train to undertake his situation. In a few days after wards he learnt from the prisoner that he had lost a portmanteau, containing his wearing apparel and other property, on the railway, and that though he had been frequently to the Guildford station about it he could get no tidings of it. Believing his represen tations to be true, he (Mr. Haydon) wrote a letter to Mr. Stovin, requesting that attention should be paid to it, but finding that nothing had been heard by the prisoner on the subject, he wrote a severe lettter, addressed to Mr. Harding, the secretary, on the 26th ult., and sent the prisoner to town with it. Some days after he received a letter from Mr. Godson, stating that as the missing property had not been found it was necessary to have a description of it and an estimate of its value, and requesting that this might be done by the owner. He (Mr. Haydon) took this note to the prisoner, in his pantry, and re quested him to make out a list of the articles, with their value, on the fly-leaf. The prisoner said there were two 51. notes, numbers unknown, and two sovereigns, in the portmanteau, besides two coats and other property, and commenced writing them down. Witness told him he had better not overvalue the goods, and asked him if he thought 201. would cons ! pensate him for his loss? The priioner replied he thought it would, and signed a statement to that effect. This statement the prisoner handed to him, and he (Ur. Haydon) gave it to the officer. James Kearney, a constable employed by the rail way company, said that, from inquiries he had made, he had ascertained that the prisoner did not posiess such an article as a portmanteau on the 19th of Sep tember. Having communicated the result of his in quiries to Mr. Godson he attended, by directions of that gentleman, at the house of Mr. Haydon, and re ceived from him the prisoner's written statement of the alleged value of the goods. Mrs. Ann Steers, of 20, Gregory-street, Pimlico, deposed that the prisoner had lodged at her house from the 30th of July to the 19th of September, when he left to go, as he told her, to a situation at Mr. Haydon's, the banker, at Guildford. He told her he should go by the five o'clock train on the evening of the 19th, and he took with him his luggage, consisting of two carpet-bags, a small basket, and a hatbox. Mr. NORTON—Can you take it on yourself to state positively that he had not a portmanteau? Witness— Certainly, Sir. I never saw such an article in his possession, and I am sure he had not such a thing on that day. _ . Mr. NORTON—Had you received a letter from the prisoner a few days after he left your house ? Wit ness—Yes, Sir ; that is it. Mr. NORTON—In that letter I find the following : —" They say one misfortune seldom comes alone, for coming here my portmanteau got misplaced, and I have not got it yet. I told you that I had sent it to the station-house, and I found it quite safe there; but I suppose it was put into the wrong carriage. I think Mr. Haydon may be in town to-morrow, and, if so, perhaps he will be making inquiries about it at the station, and may call upon you. If so, please to say that I had a cab from your house, for I have charged him 2s. 6d. for it, and I should not like for him to find me out in a falsehood. If you should be asked what luggage I had, I had two bags and a portman teau." Now, in the first place, I want to ask you, Mrs. Steers, whether you are certain that this letter is in the prisoner's handwriting ? Mrs. Steers—l am certain of it, Sir. Mr. NORTON—Then, the next question is, was it true that the prisoner had a portmanteau as well as two bags ? Mrs. Steers—lt is not true. He had no portmanteau. George Barker said that on the 19th of last month he was sent for to assist the prisoner to carry his lug gage to the Vauxhall station, and did assist him. His luggage consisted of two carpet bags, a small basket ' and a hatbox. He had no portmanteau. Had he had one witness must have seen it, as he saw him off by the seven o'clock train. William Saddington, the guard of the train by which the prisoner travelled, said that on the evening in question he had no portmanteau whatever between London and Guildford, and he assured the prisoner of it. The prisoner declared that he had one ; that he came to the Vauxhall station in a cab, and carried the portmanteau himself from the vehicle and gave it in charge to the porter, who, he said, put it into the boot. He also said that the portmanteau had two railway tickets on it, one belonging to the Dover and the other to the Brighton line. Sergeant Goff deposed to the fact of the prisoner having been given into custody, and taking him up to town from Guildford; and Bent, the officer principally engaged by the South- Eastern Company, said he was at the station-house in Kennington-lane on the night before, and gave the charge against the prisoner. He (Bent) heard the inspector read over the charge to the prisoner, and he did not deny it, but said he should explain it on the following day. On this evidence the prisoner was remanded, and Mr. Norton having refused to accept bail for his fu ture attendance he was sent to prison. THAMES. William Blanchard, a carpenter, well-known to the police, was brought before Mr. - Yardley, charged with stealing three sovereigns from the person of William Macintosh, a seaman who has lately been paid off, and is now living in Crown-court, Wapping. The sailor called on Saturday morning upon Mrs. Catherine boy, who keeps a broker's shop, 2, Vic toria-street, Bluegate-fields, Shadwell. Mrs. Hoy advised him to be cautious, sewed up his money in his fob, and cautioned him to keep away from bad com pany. She then made it known to a woman named Williams, alias Knapman, who keeps a brothel at 4, Victoria-row, in the same neighbourhood, and in the hearing of the prisoner (the bully of the house) and of several desperate prostitutes, that the sailor had money about him, and that it was sewed up in his fob. The sailor was plied with drink until he became stu pified, and in that state was taken by the prisoner, Mrs. Knapman, and some prostitutes, to the Royal Sovereign public-house, where he was laid on the floor, his fob was cut, and his money was taken out; his pockets were also ransacked. There was nothing in them but his register ticket and certificate of ser vice and discharge, which were picked up on the floor of the taproom where the robbery was committed. The sailor could not, of course, give any account of the robbery, but he proved the loss of his money and that the stitches of his fob were not "started,' but the bottom was cut. . . Moody-, a police-constable, No. 393 K, hearinc , of the robbery, went to the taproom of the Royal So vereign, in Bluegate-fields, and found tie sailor lying senseless on the floor. Moody left him and went to the Angel public-house in Shadwell, and took Blau chard into custody. He searched his pockets and took from them 1/. 10s. aid. in silver and copper moneys and a knife belonging to the sailor. Mrs. Hoy, who had revealed the secret where the sailor's money was concealed, said that four hours after she sewed up the gold in his fob she went into the Royal Sovereign. The sailor was lying senseless on the floor. Mrs. " Williams," whom she always called Knapman, asked for a knife to cut the sailor's fob with. Witness said, " Don't interfere with his money ; he has got four sovereigns, which he is going to send to hi s wife." She had previously told the parties the sailor had his gold sewed up in his fob. She said that in the hearing of the prisoner and the ‘; ladies." Mr. YARDLEY (indignantly)—Ladies, indeed ! a brothel -keeper and prostitutes. Ladies ! Call them by their proper names. You sew up the sailor's m oney in his fob, and communicate the fact to the ve ry persons likely to rob—to the brothel-keeper, her bully, and the prostitutes. Mrs. Hoy- - He was in a bad neighbourhood, Sir. Mr. YARDLEY—I perfectly agree with you. It is a very bad neighbourhood ; no one is safe in it, and sailors are robbed with impunity. Mrs. Williams, alias Knaprnan, said she was present when the sailor was robbed. He was surrounded by many bad girls, and by the prisoner, who lived in her house. The sailor was senseless on the floor. There was a scuffle among the bad girls, but she could not say who took the money. She saw gold in the pri soner's hands, and gold in the hands of one of the girls. Mrs. Martha Smith said—l am the landlady of the Royal Sovereign. The prisoner, the sailor, and the last witness, were in my house last night. I know the last witness, and that she keeps a brothel. I know the prisoner to be one of her lodgers. Mrs. Hoy and some other women were also present. I was called into the taproom by the last witness, who said the sailor had lost Si. out of his pocket, and that Blanchard had it. and she asked me to come and take possession of it. I asked the prisoner for the money, and said I would take care of it, and he refused to give it me, and said that he was capable of taking care of it himself. Mr. YARDLEY said, this nefarious proceeding was perfectly astonishing. He could hardly believe he lived in a country subject to laws and police regula tions. A public-house was conducted in such a way as to be the resort of brothel-keepers, bullies, and prostitues known to the landlady, and a sailor is robbed before her face. Mrs. Smith—l was not aware of it, Sir. Mr. YARDLEY—It seems to me you are familiar with the brothel-keeper and that man, her bully, who lives in the same house, and under your very nose the man is robbed. Mrs. Smith—l knew nothing of it, Sir; I was in the bar. Mr. YARDLEY —YOU shut your eyes to it. You have my opinion ; I won't retract a single word of it. Let the depositions be taken, and a jury will decide how much of this they will believe, and which of the witnesses they will believe. If I had any evi dence but the evidence of these people the proper course would be to commit them all for trial, including Mrs. Smith. The prisoner was then committed for trial. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, OCT. 4.—A good business passing to-day at full prices. MANCHESTER , OCT. 4.—During the week a rather im proved demand for flour has been experienced, approved marks, made from a fair mixture of new wheat, having moved off more freely on fully previous terms. Oatmeal, owing to most parties having purchased sufficient for their present wants, and being indisposed to operate further until its value shall have reached a more settled point, has been in less active request, at daily receding prices. Into Liverpool and Runcorn the imports of oats and oatmeal from Ireland aro rather undar those of the preceding week, whilst of other produce thence they aro scanty in the extreme. The supplies coastwise continue on a most limited scale; but of foreign wheat and flour we have again to notice largo arrivals, as also a moderate quantity of beans. At our market this morning con siderable firmness was manifested by holders of wheat and flour, both of which articles were held for slightly enhancNl rates, which had the effect of checking busi ness. Now oats must again he noted ld. per 45th. lower, whilst on oatmeal the decline since this day se'nnight amounted to fully is per load. WORCESTER, OCT. 4.—The market has exhibited much more firmness to-day than for some weeks past, and the prices asked by the farmers were pretty gene. rally conceded. English wheat (white) is worth 15s to 16s 4d per bag, and red 133 61 to 14s. Melting barley in demand at 35 6d to 33 8d per bushel, and ;iistilling 35 to 3s 4d. New English beans are worth 3s 63 to 33 8d per bushel, and old 4s to 4s 6d. In oats an improving demand at 3s 6a to 33 9ti per 391 b for old English, find 3s to 3; 41 for new; Irish 2s 101 per bushel. Winner veteees 3s 61 to 4s psr bathe!, according to quality-. White peas 4s to 4e 6,1 per bushel, and gray 3s 61 to 4a. Average price of wheat 1/ 17s Gd per quarter. At Stourbridgo market oe Friday there was a pretty brisk trade in wheat, whiciedvanced is per quarter on the currency of that day seenight. Barley continued dull at previous rates; average price 30s per qr. Beans and peas firm at former pricer. Oats were inquired after and sold well. In vetches we must quote a decline of is per quarter. Stratford-on-Avon market was also well attended on Friday, and there was a good supply of wheat, which realised an advance of 3d per bag. A good business was done, and the average price of wheat was 35s 6d per quarter. The advance on wheat operated also upon other grain, in which a fair business was transacted. Barley was averaged at 24s 31 per crafter. LAMS realised 25s 61 per quarter. There was not so large an attendance at Wolverhamp ton market. Farmers and dealers held out for an ad vance of is per quarter in wheat, which was at first resisted by the millers, but they were at length com pelled to accede to these terms in order to make pur chases. English white wheat fetched from 4s 10d to r tis 61 per bushel, and red 4s 61 to 4s 84. Foreign in moderate request at stationary prices. Malting barley was offered freely, which had the effect of lowering the price about Gd or is per quarter; the current value was 26$ to 284 per quarter. Beane maintained their value; old Eagltsh 12s 61 to 13s, and new 103 64 to lls per ten score. French beans lls 61, and Egyptian lOs 3d to les 91 per ten Score. No alteration in oats, English were about 21 , per 3121 h, and Irish 20s. Pat Kidderminster, on Thursday, there was a good sueply of wheat on sale, and fully last week's rates were obtainable for all descriptions. Barley was freely in offer, end the trade in this article must be reported as dull. New beans are in request, and keep up the quota tions of last week. Old oats are scarce, and held for higher rates; new, on the contrary, may be obtained at la per quarter less money. Vetches remain as before. NOTTINGHAM, OCT. 4.—As far as the growers of corn in this country are concerned they have been either too busy preparing for the coming seed time, or are too dis satisfied with the low prices which now rule, to show any large number of samples at the local markets during the present week. More business has been done in other proeucts at the Newark and Nottingham fairs, the former jest concluded, and the latter now holding. On Wed nesday, at the Newark Corn-Exchange, there were not so many samples shown as at the two previous markets, yet the supply was sufficiently extensive, more particu larly of wheat, the best qualities of which were disposed of at au advance of Is per quarter upon the last quota tions. For barley there was a reasonable demand, at last quceatione. The market for spring corn was of a fist, dull character, without any variation in prices. Wheat, white, 38s to 425; red, 35s to 38s; barley, 21s to 245; oats, 17s to 235; beans, 25s to 30s. The reports from Worksop, Ketford, and Mansfield ere very similar. There was a fair supply of wheat at our own market to day, for which sellers were generally demanding higher prices, but with the exception of fine samples of white, which wore is per quarter dearer, no advance could be obtained. A few sales of barley were made at last week's prices. In oats and beans no alteration. GLOUCESTER, OCT. 4.—Our market to-day was very well attended by the farmers, who have now completed their• harvest work, and having thrashed a goad deal of wheat during the dry weather, samples were plentiful in the market. Wheat was rather better in price, and the recent decline was improved upon. Good samples of English white fetched 5s per bushel, but 4s 8d was about the average price, and 4s 6d for red. Some fair samples of foreign were offered at 32s and 33s per qr. Malting barley sold at 28s per quarter, and grinding 22s 6d. Oats 223 to 34a for English, and 183 to 20s per quarter for Irish. Old English beans 4s, and new 3s 51; French 3s 3d, and Enptian 33 per bushel. Good vetches wore offered at 4s per bushel. GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 2.—Owing to the large supply of cattle this day sales were very dull. Prices much the same as last day. Best ox beef 44s per cwt, current from 403 to 425, inferior from 32s to 365; e good many turned out unsold. Best mutton 51, sinking the offal, current 4d to 4id, infesior 3d to 3id. Best lambs 20s each, current lOs to 133, a few from 6s to 90; nearly all sold. The number of cattle at market was-• - lambs, 2,224; sheep, 3 ; 557; oxen, 856. DUBLIN, OCT. 3.—There was again a large supply slf all descriptions of grain at market to-day. Wheat and barley of all qualities met a steady demand at the curs rency of Tuesday, but oats must again be noted 3d to lid cheaper. No alteration in old grain or Indian core. Wheat, white, new 17s to 21s; red ditto, 16s to 19s 0d; berg, now 9s 6d to lOs Od; oats, 13s 6d to 14s 6d; ditto; new, 9s 6d to 103 Od; oatmeal, lOs Od to 11s Od; bakelee flour, per cwt., 12e to 14s Od; barley, Ils to 14s 6a; Indian corn, per 4801 b, 25s to 27s Od; rapeseed, nt 14s 6d to 16s 01. CORK, OCT. 3. We have to report some arrivals of foreign grain, bat the sailings for other ports have been very numeroi* The supplies of home grain are very large, the receirti for the week being:—Wheat, 3,037 brls, at 13s to 1.9 1 per brl; barley, 7,415 brls, at 8s to 12s per brl; caitiff 21,037 brls, at 7s to 9s Gd per brl. Wheat rules firi 3' and the tendency is upward; barley and oats have d clined 2d per barrel in value. Foreign wheat, owing S° the preference given to the new, sweet Irish, is in sh 1 1 f demand, and none, but the finer descriptions of Mary nople and Ghirka, are inquired after. The coarser kin 1s are uegleeted, and Odessa, in good condition, has bee sold, we believe, as low as 18s per barrel. We have n heard of any transactions in oats, in which a dowuwa )4 l tendency is manifested, and for which, we understand .?"' per barrel less money would be accepted. We quote tl le value of black oats 9s per barrel free on board. I n pr 1;•• pared barley as yet but little has been done. Priv le malting, however, is in demand, and the little offeru tg fetches full prices. The flour trade continues much I . last noted. Bakers purchase merely to supply the lf immediate necessities, and prices remain without al alteration worth noticing. The consumptive demar fur Indian corn, though perhaps a little larger than le psi week, is still very trifling. A speculative inquiry, hov ever, still exists, and there is some little business pug , fg at about the rates of last week. We quote the curre P 6 value of the article 615 s to 61 7s 6d per ton.
