DEANS, Registrar of Bank Returns. Inland Revenue, Somerset House, Sept. 6, 1851. NEW YORK.—Great numbers of large houses for stores are being erected of brown stone; the fronts are supported by iron columns. The spirit of emulation to outvie in the construction and planning of new edifices is predominant in all parts of the city. The Saint Nicholas Hotel, in Broadway, is rapidly progressing. This will be the largest house in the city except the Astor House. The cost will be 300,000 dollars. Idr. Brewster has com menced two elegant stores, in Broadway; they will be five stories high, and one hundred feet deep. They present a tine marble elevation of fifty feet, supported by unique wrought-iron columns. A splendid hotel is being erected in the south-west corner of Broadway and White street; it is to be five stories high, fronting 80 feet on White-street, and 25 feet on Broadway. This latter is sup ported by elegant wrought-iron columns. It will be com posed all above the first story of brown stone. Mr. Brewster is also erecting a fine store at No. 355, Broalway; it will be seven stories high 92 feet deep, and '25 feet frontage, which will be composed of white Paternoster stone, supported by iron columns.—Architect. A CUEAP PL&CE TO LIVE IN.—The Literary Ga zette, in a notice of Mr. Neale's work on Syria, says - "People who l ove to live well and cheap at the same time should go to Anti oc h . Mr Neale tried to be extravagant there, but be found it to impossible, house-rent, servants, horses, b tard, wa slung, and wine included,' to spend more than 401. a year. Oh, that Antioch were London !

GERMAN Y. The opening of the Diet of the Grand Duchy of Posen took place on the 7th inst. The President of the Province and the Deputies attended public wor ship previous to assembling. At noon they met in the residence of the President, M. von Piittkammer, who addressed them in the following speech : " After an interruption of many years you are again summoned by his Majesty's Government as the repre sentatives of this province ad interim, not only to decide on its particular interests, but also to give your counsel and advice on various important questions connected with the general legislation of the country. The Go vernment, in having direct recourse to you, whose manclut is based partly on your own ancient rights as members of the orders of the province, and partly on a former election, as given you a pledge of its special con fidence. You do honour to it by imparting to your resolutions and your counsels that character which is alone calculated to lend them the proper consecra tion, and at the same time to ensure them a beneficial result. That is the character of pure and genuine Prus sian patriotism, that first and highest of national ideas, to which all others must be subordinate, if they would not forfeit their claim to recognition. I, who have the ' honour of representing for the first time this idea among you, am resolved to realize it with that decision and firmness my King and Sovereign jastly expected from me when he entrusted this important office to my hands. Thus, and only thus, shall I be in a position to promote the true interests of all the inhabitants of this province of both nationalities. I also know that in the realization of this idea lies the sole guarantee for that parity be tween them which right and equity demand. You, Sir Marshal, appointed by the confidence of the lung to conduct the pro cee di ngs of thi s A sse mbly, will do so in the sense I have above pointed out. You will thereby earn another claim to the thanks of the province and the nation at large. " In laying before you the decree of the 31st of August last, containing the special propositions you aro to consider, I have to remark that the subjects therein named, so far as they have not been communicated to you in any form, are to be entered on without delay. It is of course understood that I, like my predecessor in office, shall be ready to assist the Assembly in the most direct manner with any information it may require. " In the name of the King, I hereby declare the pro vincial Representation of the orders of the Grand Duchy of Posen (as a Provincial Diet the Bth) to be now opened." The President then placed in the hands of the Marshal of the Diet (Baron Hiller, of Gartringen,) the decree above alluded to, in the German and Polish languages. The Marshal, turning towards the President (who is also the Royal Commissary), then replied as follows While I, in the name of the Diet of the Province here assembled, respectfully salute you as Commissary of his Majesty, I have to express our thanks for the confidence the Government of his Majesty has placed in the body. To justify that confidence, as well as the expectations of the province, as far as possible, will be the object of cur zealous endeavour. " The peculiar relations of the province often pro duce difficulties which in other parts of the king dom do not exist. Those difficulties will also make themselves felt in this Assembly. I may at the same time express the conviction that the Diet will seek to overcome them with its usual perse verance. To this end the support you have promised us will essentially contribute, since in you we see a man at the head of the Adminisiration of the province whose capacity for business, decision, and faithful adherence to the King and his house, justify us in entertaining the best hopes both in this and other respects." The Marshal then addressed the following observa tions to the members of the Diet : " With the wish that these hopes may be to the fullest extent realized, I turn, gentlemen, to you. The honour able task entrusted to me I gladly accept, since it affords me, as it will you, the opportunity to display our fidelity and adherence to the King, and put me in a position to work with you for the welfare of the province. If the want of a knowledge of one of the languages here enti tled to be used places me under a double difficulty, I will the more earnestly endeavour to prevent that defi ciency from delaying our labours, and therefore, on ac count of their importance, I rely on your indulgence. " Gentlemen, the special provincial questions laid before us by his Majesty's Government for our decision are of no less consequence to the welfare of the province than those connected with the general legislation of the country, the opportunity of examining and testing which must be so much the more valuable, as, in consequence of the peculiar circumstances of the duchy, our more recent legislation has net always effected what were practical necessities. " May our deliberations contribute to remove existing defects; may they be beneficial to our common country." The proceedings terminated with a cheer for the King. THE DETECTIVES IN SEARCH OF A FATHER Some curious circumstances have come to our knowledge during the past week, arising out of a case of affiliation brought before the magistrates a few months since. It appears that the gentleman who then had paternal honours thrust upon him has been very irregular in making the payments ordered by the justices for the maintenance of his child, and was in arrears for about six weeks' pay ; and at the request of the party to whom he was indebted a sum mons was granted against him " to show cause why he refused to contribute towards the support of his illegitimate child." The document was in dne course served on the putative father, who, by the bye, from the frequency of his carriage drives is well known in this city : he does not reside very far from Thomas street, and, for the sake of distinction, we will call him Mr. S—. No notice, however, was taken of the summons ; and, in a conversation relating to the matter, the gentleman was heard to assert, in re ference to the authorities, that " he was sure he should be able to do them." But the administrators of jus tice were determined not to be " done" so easily as he imagined, and forthwith issued a warrant for bringing Mr. 5 before them. The officer, to whom the commission of apprehending the delinquent was entrusted, knew, we suspect, he had a " sharp 'un" to deal with, and inwardly resolved not to be "sold" in such an easy manner as Mr. S— was accus tomed to dispose of the quadrupeds in which he dealt. The keen official (we are sorry we cannot give his name) accordingly took with him three picked men, of the same " staff" as himself—men whose intellects he considered to be quite as "'cute" as his own, and whose perception he believed to be equally as great ; and after the preliminaries had been arranged, the " officer in command" and another constable, clad in plain clothes, accompanied by the remaining two arrayed in her Majesty's uni form, proceeded to the residence of the party in clues. tion, when the two gentlemen, having given a polite knock, stated that they " wanted" Mr. S—. That individual, who at the time was about to sit down to a comfortable dinner, happening to catch a glimpse of the personages by whom he was " wanted," imme diately guessed the purport of their trick, and without even giving orders to keep his dinner warm, sprang from the table. But where could he hide himself ? There was no room in the cellar, as a fresh supply of coal had been deposited there the previous day ; he could not obtain access to his stables, for they were detached from his abode. In this dilemma he darted up stairs, and the detectives, having left their companions as a guard below, proceeded after the fugitive, making quite sure of his apprehen sion. But disappointment awaited them. After searching each room in succession, but with no suc cess, they reached a garret, the open window of which plainly told which way the bird had flown ; and, on looking out, they perceived Mr. s—, a few yards off, surveying them with a catch-me-if-you can kind of countenance. The detectives, however, were not to be discouraged; they no sooner caught sight of him than out they " bolted," and a regular chase ensued over several houses ; but Mr. S—, being well ac quainted with the road, was soon lost to view. A crowd had by this time collected, attracted by the novelty of the affair ; and as the officers approached and inspected the chimney-stacks and other probable places of concealment they were assailed with various jokes. " He's behind that 'ere chimney !" cried one fellow ; " Ha'n't 'e got 'un yet ?" inquired another ; " Make haste and bring 'un down !" shouted a third; while a fourth suggested that they had better " wait a little longer," which advice the de tectives were fain to take, as they were convinced that Mr. S— had not reached terra firma, and being, doubtless, in hopes that he would soon make his appearance, and that they should then pounce upon and secure him. Accordingly they sat " like patience on a monument" for upwards of three hours, when some slight disturbance took place in Thomas street, a few yards off, which attracted the attention of the crowd. Seeing them depart, and a cry having been raised that "the chap was getting off the roof," the two detectives descended, and with their brother constables scampered after the mob. They soon discovered that they had been most grievously " sold ;" they had come to witness some manoeuvres of a pig " that wouldn't go," and thus left the coast clear for Mr. S—, who, it is almost needless to add, took advantage of the opportunity and escaped. The officers departed quite chop fallen amidst the jeers of those assembled, but Mr. now boasts of the fun he enjoyed. ' He has since discharged all arrears; and we hear—hut do not vouch for the truth of it—that his pursuers are to hear further of the damage they caused to the roofs of the houses over which they passed.—Bristol Mirror. TRIAL OF W. HENDERSON, SEAMAN OF THE BARQUE MARY RAY, FOR MURDER. (From the Penang Gazette, June 21.) O❑ Wednesday last the court was occupied with the trial, which lasted upwards of four hours, of W. Henderson, a seaman lately belonging to the barque MAry Ray, Ellwood, master, of Liverpool, who was arraigned for the wilful murder of his shipmate, John Murray, on the high seas, on the morning of the 6th of May. We give a brief outline of the facts as they transpired during the trial. On the morn ing of May 6 the deceased, John Murray, was relieved at the wheel, and land being in sight at the time, he said generally, " That is Plantain Island." Prisoner said, " I believe you know nothing about it," Murray then replied, "I am not alluding to you, mind your own business." This was followed by several angry recriminations on both sides, ended finally in a scuffle, and Henderson striking the deceased with his open hand on the face. Henderson then went to wash his blankets, and Murray went aft to the quarter-deck to complai❑ to the chief officer; ou his return be sat down at the windlass with a shut knife in his hand; Henderson was still washing his clothes, and was about seven paces from the windlass. Some aggravating words again took place between them, and Murray said to Henderson, " I will scatter your brains about the deck," After Henderson saw that Murray had the knife in his hand, he rushed into the galley, and said to the deceased, " If that is knifing duel I can use one too," and returned from the galley with an open one. Murray was still sitting on the windlass, and Henderson laid the knife down on the hogstye in front of the galley. Murray then made a rush towards Henderson, and a scuffle ensued. A scream was beard from Murray, followed by his saying to Mr. Ellwood, " Oh, sir, I am stabbed to the heart;" he then dropped down and expired within one minute and a half after. Deceased was wounded right in the centre of the breast; and also across the ribs on the right side. Prisoner had two wounds on his right arm. During his examination Mr. Ellwood stated to the Court that he must attribute the tragic end of the quarrel to the highly reprehensible con duct of his chief officer, who, had be adopted pre cautionary measures at the onset, would have saved the life of his fellow-creature. This remark met with the entire approval of his Lordship, who admitted that the observation was a very just and proper one. The Learned Re corder animadverted in very severe terms upon the chief officer's behaviour, remarking that it was quite apparent that there was a great dereliction of duty on his part, in not having used his interference in the matter, when the deceased applied to him, in the first instance, for redress. The answer he made, when ap pealed to by the deceased, " that as he had separated them once, he will not do so a second time, and that they must fight it out the best way they can," clearly evinced not only a want of that manly spirit which ought to be expected from him as the chief officer of a vessel, but also that he was totally un mindful of the interests of his employers. He, by whom the master and crew must always expect that, by his supervision, the proper discipline of the ship would be maintained and strictly enforced, has now proved totally worthless of his trust; and his Lord ship regretted to perceive that he was so utterly careless and regardless of his duty, as the pro ceedings on the trial abundantly testifies. The prisoner made a straightforward defence, and added that had the chief officer interfered at the commencement of the contest, this sad transac tion would never have occurred. His Lordship then summed up ; after which the jury retired for nearly a quarter of an hour, and returned into court, bring ing in a verdict of " Not Guilty of murder, but Guilty of manslaughter." The prisoner prayed for the merciful coesideration of the court, saying he had a wife and two infant children. His Lordship, in passing sentence, again censured the proceedings of the chief officer, and sentenced the prisoner to eighteen months' imprisonment in her Majesty's gaol. SAYINGS AND DOINGS OF A SUNDER_ LAND ATTORNEY'S CLERK. (From the Sunderland News.) JANE ANNE MARTIN V. HENRY TREIIWIT HATERS. This case was a demand for an order of affiliation, but from the extraordinary documents produced in evidence we are induced to give it somewhat at length, leaving out, however, everything of an indeli cate character. Mr. Ranson, solicitor, appeared for the complainant, and Mr. J. M. Cooper, solicitor, for the defendant. Mr. Ranson stated the case. The complainant is the daughter of respectable parents in Sunderland, and the defendant is an embryo lawyer, having studied some time under a Sunderland attorney, and is now in London. In October last year he became acquainted with the complainant, and shortly after they began to associate with each other he succeeded in seducing her. When com plainant found herself in a delicate position, she en deavoured to induce him to marry her, but he said he had been so extravagant he could not raise the means, but he would, perhaps, sell his watch to get the money. Soon afterwards, however, he left for London, and from there she received a letter from him which will appear a little further on. When he first became ac quainted with her he was the most attentive lover Sunderland ever saw. On seeing her for the first time he was so smitten with her charms, that he im mediately penned the following poetical effusion : 'Tis no kiss my fair bestows, Nectar 'tis whence new life flows: All the sweets which nimble bees, In their osier treasuries, With unequalled art repose, In one kiss her lips disclose. With kisses, then, be lavish, fair, Nor such heavenly pleasures share. The next document which I will produce, continued Mr. Ranson, is not quite so poetical, but it is certainly a more lawyer-like one. Afraid of a rival, defendant draws up the following very legal document, which he gets complainant to sign. It is this :—" I hereby solemnly declare that I will not on any pretence whatsoever, or on any occasion, whether it be during the day lime, or during the night time, walk with any one except Henry Tre whit Naters, unless the said Henry Tre whit Naters gives me leave to do so, or act in such a manner towards me that I think myself justifiable in doing so. (Signed) J. A. MARTIN. Stinderland, Nov. 6, 1850." A month after this grave protocol had been duly ratified, came the following poetical lucubration : Why hangs that cloud upon thy brow— That beauteous heaven, erewhile serene ? Whence do these storms and tempests flow ? What may this gust of humour mean ? And must, then, Henry, lose the light Which in thine eyes was wont to shin?, And lie obscure in endless night For each poor silly speech of mine P Dear maid, bow can I wrong thy name, Since 'tis acknowledged at all hands, That could ill tongues abuse thy fame Thy beauty could make large amends P Or, if I durst profanely try Thy beauty's powerful charm t' upbraid, Thy virtue well might give the lie, Nor call thy beauty to its aid. For Venus, every heart t' ensnare, With all her charms has decked tby face; And Pallas with unusual care Bids wisdom heighten every grace. Who can the double pain endure, Or who must not resign the field To thee, celestial maid, secure With Cupid's bow and Pallas' shield! If then to thee such power is given, Let not a wretch in torment live; But smile, and learn to copy heaven, Since we must sin ere it forgive. Yet pitying heaven not only does Forgive the offender and the offence, But even itself, appeased, bestows As the reward of penitence. On the 7th of December the defendant thus wrote to the plaintiff:— " Dearest Jane Anne ,—l t h ink it will be best if I meet you on Sunday e vening at the end of Cousin-street, as I do not like the idea of seeing me at the church door. In haste. " Dearest Jane Ann, yours most sincerely, " HENRY." Then on the 23d of the same month he wrote to her as follows : "My dearest Jane Anne,—l regret deeply to state that in consequence of being compelled to stay at San dyford during the week, I shall be prevented the very great pleasure of seeing you. For Heaven's sake think of me, and do not walk with a certain person. " Yours most sincerely, " HENRY." On the 10th December, when be was a week from home, he penned another most affectionate letter to her. I have often heard, said Mr. Ranson, that " absence makes the heart grow fonder," and here it is:— "Dearest Jane Anne,-1 expect to be in Sunderland on Thursday morning, when I shall do myself the great pleasure of giving you a call at the back door about ten o'clock. Mind you do not disappoint me, as it seems an age since I saw you. I have had such queer dreams about you, which I will toll you when we meet. It will be some time before Igo away again for a week. The time has passed away very slowly. I remain, dearest Jane Anne, yours most truly, " HENRY." On the 3d of January, 1851, he wrote the follow ing unmistakeable letter : " Dearest Jane Anne,--I have witten to B. to-night, and asked him if he went to the point with you, which means if ho has popped the question. I have told him to keep out of the way, as I have a poor chance when ho presents himself, and that I am at present cast quite in the shade. Try and meet him on Sunday afternoon, and get out of him slily what I have said to him. I think I have told you the principal part. Ido not like the idea of your walking at night with him; but if you think you cannot see him on Sunday, try and meet him to-morrow in the streets, but not in the country. " I am, dearest Jane Anne, yours most truly, " HENRY." Now comes the " unkindest cut of all." De fendant subsequently went to London, wh e re the young woman h a d written him a number of letters, apprising him of the fact of his having become a father, without receiving any answer. She at length got the following chilling epistle, dated the Ist of August : " Miss J. A. Martin: Madam,—All letters that I shall henceforth receive from you shall be returned un opened. If you wish to know my intentions, I refer you to my solicitor, Mr. J. M. Cooper, Iligh-street, Sun derland.—l am, Madam, yours obediently, "H. T. NATERB." One of the Magistrates—That is assuredly cool This, continued Mr. Ranson, is my client's case. Here is a young woman, of only eighteen years, made the victim of a seducer, and ruined for life, and I hope the Bench will grant the full compensation which the law glom FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1851 Mr. Simpson—l only wish we had the power to grant more. The complainant, a good-looking woman, was then sworn, and stated that she had been acquainted with the defendant in October of last year, but that he had no sooner effected her ruin than he " turned tails" on her. About Christmas, when she told him of her state, he said he could not help it, and could not marry her then, but he would sell his watch to do so. She never walked with any other gentleman but de fendant. The reason why he made her sign the do cument put in in evidence was because he was afraid that his rival would take her from him. Defendant persuaded her to go to his lodgings on the pretence of teaching her to play at cards, when he locked the door and effected her ruin. She denied ever walking with Lieutenant Caslet, or any of the officers in the barracks. Two or three witnesses were next called, and afterwards Mr. Cooper addressed the Bench for the defence, when an order was made on Naters for 2s. 6d. a week. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LAMBETH. Yesterday Robert Turner appeared before Mr. Elliott to answer to a summons charging him with assaulting Thomas Huntley. The complainant stated that on Saturday last the defendant, after keeping his wife from her home for two whole nights and days, came to his house and acknowledged, even in the presence of her children, that he had carried on an adulterous correspondence with her for six years past. This disclosure of course exasperated him, and at the moment he was so excited that he struck at his wife, upon which the defendant gave him a violent blow on the left eye and walked away with his wife. The complainant called as a witness his own child, a girl of ten years of age, who said she heard the whole of the disgusting abuse between the parties, and saw the defendant strike her father in the eye. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said that the complainant had agreed, in the presence of witnesses whom he could produce, to sell him his wife for a pot of beer ; and, taking him at his word, he cried, "done," and they had the pot of beer together, after which Mrs. Huntley, of course (as he expressed it), left her husband and went with him. Mrs. Huntley, who stood behind the defendant, and whom, up to this time it was found difficult to restrain from interrupting the proceedings, here burst forth and declared the statement of the defendant was perfectly true. Her husband, she said, had regularly disposed of her, and therefore she was not going to have anything more to say to him. Mr. ELLIOTT remarked that a more disgusting or profligate case, or one more disgraceful to the whole of the parties concerned in it, had never come before him. The defendant had struck the complainant without any just provocation, and for that assault he must pay 10s. and expenses, or be imprisoned for ten days. It subsequently appeared that while the parties were in attendance at the court the wife of Turner, the def. , ndant, called in a broker, to whom she sold. the whole of the goods and started off with the amount. THE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.I The preparations for making another attempt to lay down a line of electrical communication at the bottom of the sea between the English and French coasts are rapidly progressing to completion. That it is possible to transmit a current of gilvanic electricity from one shore to the other by means of an insulated wire deposited in the bed of the Channel was fully demon - strated by the experiment of last year, unsuccessful as it was in permanently establishing the communi cation. The only question now remaining to be solved is, whether sufficient measures can be adopted to insure the connecting chain against the casualties which proved fatal to the project as originally designed, and according to the plan now finally determined upon there is every prospect of attaining the desired end. The essential conditions upon which the success of the undertaking have been shown to depend are, in the first place, that the conducting medium should be so securely isolated as to resist the pressure of the immense mass of water to which it will be subjected, and should unite the flexibility requisite to allow of its being easily coiled and uncoiled with a strength and weight sufficient to enable it to retain its position at the bottom of the sea and to resist any ordinary violence from the natural action of the waves ; and, secondly, that the points on either coast to be connected should be so chosen that the line be tween them present no other causes of accident than have been foreseen and guarded against in the prepa ration of the connecting line, and that the effect of these be reduced to the least possible amount. The line of communication which is now being manu factured at \Yapping will, it is expected, entirely ful fil the required conditions. It consists of four copper wires the thickness of an ordinary bellwire, cased in gutta percha, and twined with a correspond ing number of hempen strands steeped in a mixture of tar and tallow into a rope of about a❑ inch diameter. Another strand similarly prepared is wound transversely round this, and finally ten wires of gal vanised iron, about a third of an inch thick, are twined round this central core and form a solid and at the same time flexible casing. The whole, when thus completed, has the appearance of an ordinary 4k-inch metallic cable. The machinery by which this is effected is extremely simple, and the work proceeds, night and day, with the utmost regularity. A huge coil is thus being formed in one continuous piece at the rate of about 1 mile a day, and will finally at tain the length of 24 miles. Tne weight of the entire rope when finished, it is estimated, will be from 170 to 180 tons: From time to time, as the work proceeds, a gavanic current is passed through the wires and their conducting power is tested by a galvanometer. The results thus obtained have been hitherto highly satisfactory, and as the whole length is now nearly completed there is every reason to anticipate that the same success will attend the work to the end. Messrs. Crampton and Wollaston, the engineers who have undertaken to carry out the necessary mea sures for establishing the submarine telegraph, have recently been engaged in exploring the coast in the neighbourhood of Calais, for the purpose of selecting the most advantageous point towards which to direct the line of communication. In performing this task they have bad the advantage of the experience of Captain Bullock, who is engaged in a survey of the Channel, and whose steam-vessel, the Fearless, has been placed at their disposal. The starting point on the English coast which has been fixed upon as the most advantageous, on account of the nature of the beach and the comparative freedom from the danger of ships anchoring in the immediate vicinity, is the South Foreland. The line will be conducted down a shaft practised perpendicularly in the cliff and along ashort tunnel, communicating with it at right angles, to the beach, where it is proposed to bury it at some consi derable depth beneath the shingle, to the lowest level of ebb tide. The spot selected on the French coast for similar reasons is situated about four miles to the south of Calais, near the village of Sanngate. The beach at this point consists entirely of sand, and a ridge of sandhills called dunes extends for a considerable distance along the coast, protecting the adjacent country from the inroads of the sea. The line will here be buried again to some depth beneath the sand, and on reaching the dunes the communicating wires will be continued underground to the telegraphic station at Calais, and brought into immediate communication with the network of tele graphic lines radiating from that point, and embracing the principal towns of the continent. The line from the South Foreland to Sanngate, although not the shortest that could be drawn between the two coasts, is that which presents the fewest chances of accident. The point at the two extremes are those were the low water mark is nearest the high, and the character of the bed of the Channel lying between, as far as can be ascertained by careful soundings, offers no peculiari ties likely to affect the integrity of the conducting line. Every facility that could be given for establishing the connexion of the sub-marine wire with the tele graphic station at Calais has been granted with the greatest alacrity by the French Government, as well as by those persons whose local rights had to be con sulted before the line could be laid down, and, should the experiment prove successful as far as regards the transmission of the galvanic fluid across the Channel, the communication with Paris will be almost immedi ately established. FALKIRK SEPTEMBER TRYST. This great sheep and cattle market commenced yes terday ; at least an advertisement which appeared in Edinburgh and provincial papers led many and Irish dealers to believe so, for a great number of buyers were on the ground at an early hour, in the expectation of finding a stock of sheep forward. At nine o'clock, however, there were not above half a dozen lots on the stance, although the parks in the vicinity were covered with them ; and from first to last during the course of the day not more than between 5,000 or 6,000 were shown. The annoyance and ad ditional expense which this misunderstanding has oc casioned to dealers from a distance is very vexatious. Some parties with whom we conversed had freighted vessels at the Broomielaw for the purpose of convey ing to Ireland the stock which they calculated on being able to purchase yesterday; but from the sheep not being forward they have been disappointed, and will require to hang on for another day. It is very disagreeable at all times to reflect on the conduct of individuals, but in the present instance the mischief we have no hesitation in saying has originated from the large holders, who for some reasons of their own secured the consent of other parties, by whose concur rence placards were posted up and down in the most con spicuous parts of the district, intimating that the sheep mark would not be held till Tuesday. The result of this has been to disapp o i n t d ea l ers unnecessar il y ; f or we believe, from the number of buyers forward yesterday that had the stock been exhibited a clearance would have been effected. There is moreover the further mischievous consequence that to-day (Tuesday) the cattle will be brought forward, and parties who at tended the last September tryst can have an idea of the confusion that must ensue. A repetition of such mismanagement could not but terminate in dealers getting disgusted, and the probable removal of this im portant market to some other place; but we are glad to learn that some steps have been taken by the most influential parties connected with the tryst, by which the recurrence of similar misunderstandings will on future occasions be avoided. From the limited number of sheep shown yester day, and other causes, the prices which were obtained do not probably afford a criterion of what they will bring to-morrow, as many dealers who could not re main longer made their purchases from the few lots on the ground, which were all sold by four o'clock in the afternoon. As far as it is worth while quoting prices, it ap peared to be the opinion that Cheviot ewes brought 2s. a head more than at last September tryst, and Cheviot wedders Is. a head of advance. The following are some of the principal lots that chrnged hands : _ _ Mr. Shaw, Kincairn, sold a lot of 300 black-faced crock ewes at 10s. each, and a lot of wedders, same quality, at 175., both lots to a Yorkshire dealer. Mr. Harrison, Yorkshire, bought a lot of black-faced ewes at 9s. 6d. A lot of half-bred Dinmonts, belonging to the Earl of Caithness, sold by his land steward, Mr. Hay, to Mr. Ritchie, Edinburgh, brought barely 235. Mr. R. bought a lot of Cheviot ewes at 141. Mr. Swan, salesman, Edinburgh, sold a lot of three-year old Cheviot wedders, belonging to Mr. A. Dunbar, Scrabster, Caithness, at 275. each, and a lot of 400 1 two-year old Cheviot wedders at 219. A lot cf Cheviot ewes, belonging to Mr. Marcus Gunn, were sold to an Irish dealer at 18s. each, and another at 19s. A lot of Cheviot ewes, also belonging to Mr. Dunbar, were sold at 18s. by Mr. Swan ; who sold a small lot of black-faced ewes from Perthshire for 10s. 6d. A lot of black-faced three year old wedders, from Logie Almond, Perthshire, brought 21s. 9d.; and a lot of year old Cheviot wedders sold by Mr. Ferguson, salesman, Edinburgh, fetched 163. Mr. Kennedy, Dumfries, bought a lot of black-faced ewes for 9s. 6d.; and Mr. Duncan, salesman, Glasgow, disposed of a lot of Cheviot ewes to an Irish dealer for 18s., and a lot of black-faced at 93., neither of the latter being first quality.—Aorth British Mail.

A fashionably dressed young man, named Arthur Robert Fry, was brought before Mr. Ingham, charged with assaulting Mr. Samuel Pasquin, an elderly gen tleman, and several other persons, and with setting a furious dog upon a young woman, named Sarah Bushwell, whose leg was severely lacerated by the animal. Mr. Pelham stated the case for the prosecution. It appeared that on Wednesday morning Mr. Pas quin, who is a retired gentleman, came before Mr. Yardley, and stated that his son-in-law, Mr. Fry, was in the habit of beating his wife (Mr. Pasquin's daughter) in a very cowardly and savage manner ; that she was in fear of her life, and that Mr. Fry kept a furious dog, for the purpose of terrifying his wife and intimidating her, and that he had threatened to set the animal upon her and tear her to pieces. On Tuesday night Mr. Fry and his wife were in Mr. Pasquin's apartment, where she had fled for protec tion, and her husband asked her to accompany him to bed. The wife, who was labouring under great ter ror, said, "I won't go, Arthur, if you take that dog up stairs." Her husband immediately commenced abusing her, and after applying the most disgusting epithets to her, banged her against the door. She cried out for help, and Mr. Pasquin and another gen tleman named Spencer, interposed, on which the pri soner struck his father-in-law and knocked him down on the sofa, and swore that he would kill any one who interfered between him and his wife. Mr. Pasquin added, that his daughter had frequently suffered through her husband's brutal treatment, and that he (Mr. Pasquin) was in great peril. On this statement Mr. Yardley granted a peace warrant, which is made returnable for Saturday next, and said, if the wife applied, and made out a ease tor his interference, he would grant another summons. In the course of the day the defendant applied to Mr. Yardley, and said his wife was unlawfully detained, and would not come home, and that he required a restitution of conjugal rights. Mr. Yardley said it was not a case in which he could interfere, and that if what he had previously heard was true, the wife had just grounds for keeping aloof from a man who beat her as he was represented to be in the practice of doing, and who also kept savage bulldogs in his room. The defendant left the court much disappointed and full of passion. On the same evening, according to the statement of Mr. Pelham, borne out by a mass of evi dence, the prisoner entered the apartment of his father in-law, and made his presence known by suddenly forcing open the door and dragging the old gentleman out of the room. Mr. Pasquin called out murder, and, in the struggle which took place, fell down. The prisoner, in spite of prosecutor's cries and entreaties, dragged him down the stairs, exclaiming, " Come out of this, you old rascal, you shall not stop another mi nute." Mr. Pasquin's head was thumping against the steps all the way. Another man named Pember ton, who was with the prisoner, and an active parti cipator in the outrage, called out, " give it him, d— , him, give it him," and both beat him. The prisoner also stamped upon him several times and dragged him into the street. A City police-constable named Hackett, who was passing, exclaimed indignantly, " You shan't use him in that way," and made an at tempt to rescue Mr. Pasquin. The prisoner and Pemberton immediately set upon the constable, Who was very roughly handled and kicked. The prisoner was recommencing his attack on Mr. Pasquin when Mr. Brain, import surveyor of inland revenue,inter posed, and, after a desperate conflict with Fry and Pemberton, released the old man, and with the as sistance of Hackett took him back to the house, bleeding profusely, and in a most exhausted condition. The prisoner and his friend got away, but the former returned almost imme diately with a large and furious bulldog, which had just been engaged in a " prize fight" with another animal equally savage. Another scuffle took place in preventing the prisoner re-entering the house, where his father-in-law had sought refuge, and the dog, urged on by his master, and seeing the scuffle, darted at the servant girl, Sarah Bush well, and seized her leg between his teeth and lacerated it severely. The bystanders endeavoured to drag the animal away, but it was not until Mr. Brain had broken a thick stick over its head and back that be made the dog let go. Not being able to find a police-con stable of the me tropolitan force in the road, Mr. Brain, Hackett, and another person dragged the prisoner to the sta tion-house, and he was locked up. The wounded girl was placed under the care of Mr. Sykes, a surgeon. There were two large and severe lacera tions on her instep and ankle, and she bled pro fusely. She uncovered her leg in court, and it was in a dreadful state. Mr. Brain assured the magistrote that he never saw such a cowerdly assault in his life. In answer to questions by Mr. INGHAM, Mr. Pasquin repeated the statement he made on Wednesday, and said his daughter had been married to the defendant fifteen months, and was obliged to come to her father and family for protection. The prisoner said there had been family quarrels, and that his wife bad absconded from him. He went into Mr. Pasquin's room, and told him he should leave the house, which he refused to do, and he merely dragged him to the door. Mr. Pasquin was intoxi cated. _ Mr. Pasquin declared he was quite sober. All he drank on Wednesday was half a pint of malt liquor. The other witnesses testified to the sobriety of Mr. Pasquin. The prisoner called two other witnesses. The only material fact proved was that one of them, at the in stigation of Mr. Pasquin, who is a very humane man, bailed the prisoner. Mr. INGHAM said it was a shocking thing to set a dog upon any one. The prisoner then made a variety of charges against his wife and father-in-law. Mr. INGuAM said the prisoner was a violent, cow ardly, ill-conditioned man, and must be restrained. There was already another charge hanging over his head. He ordered that the prisoner should find bail to keep the peace towards Mr. Pasquin and his family for the next three months, himself in 801., and two sureties of 401. each. Mr. Pelham—lt must be good bail, if you please, Sir, for we intend to indict him at the sessions. Mr. INGHAM—The prisoner must give good notice of the bail. He now stands committed.
