ALINCLIESTEIt, TUESDAY. —Thy New York steamer of the 10th inst. arrived in the Mersoy on Sunday at noon. We give the following particulars of her tedvioes, in great part from a summary in Messrs. Williams and Smallpage's circular of yesterday. At New York, a speculative advance of per lb. in the price of cotton had been pro duced by the America'; accounts from Liverpool isy the alleged occurrence of a destructive storm in Florida, and by expectations of the growing crop, which were lowered to t,400,000 bales. In the southern markets, however, there was no sensible alteration of prices. According to the " Official An nual Statement," the crop for the year 1850 to 1851 amo unts to 2,355,257 bales ; whilst that of the pre ceding was 2,096,706 —exhibiting an increase of 258 551 bales. In this statement, however, the stocks in the interior, the quantity there burned, and what was lost on its way to the markets, are not included. Taking these at a moderate estimate, they will swell the crop to 2,450,000 bales. It will perhaps be remembered—at any rate the circulars will show—that twelve months ago the most liberal constructors of estimates could see no chance of there being more than 2,000,000 bales; w hilst the majority, scouting that as a wild calcula we.re believers in more moderate amounts, down to 1,600,000. The consumption in the States is taken at 404,108 bales, or 83,661 fewer than in the preceding year. These accounts have had no effect in Liverpool, beyond that of counteracting the slight tendency to a relaxation, which showed ;tself at the latter end of last week. In this market they have produced a still smaller impression of the same kind ; for most people have a vivid recollection of the confident, but delusive, pre dictions referred to above, which have seriously shaken their confidence in estimates framed at a period when no sufficient data exist. Although, therefore, any further manifestation of that disposition to make some concession in price, which was last week observable in certain departments, appears to have been checked, still the sellers have not recovered any of the little ground that was (then lost. Goods and yarns for the ,Eastern markets are quite as low as they were then, and in no degree less difficult to sell. In other des'eriptions of cloth there is a want of animation, which occasions the bias of prices, in such as are least under contract, to be, as it was on Saturday, slightly against the makers ; but in domestics and T cloths this is not observable. The buyer of the lower counts of warps retains the advantage re ported in our last ; and, as far as it goes, so also does the buyer of pincops and cop twist. There is an un abated firmness in 20's and 30's reeled water twist, at ising out of the continued scarceness of those ranges, as compared with the demand ; and the lower num bers of water are also firm, though hardly so scarce as they were a short time back. In fine yarns there is no change. Throughout the: day a sp i r i t ; o f caution has prevaded every department of our market. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—There is no improvement in the flannel market to report to-day. The mer ohants continue to buy very sparingly, at previous ra eices. The manufacturers are beginning to com pia:Ts that country orders come in rather slackly ; and if t h,ere is not a change, stocks will begin to increase at the very time of the year when the demand should b e th e criskest. There is no change in price in wool, but the d.-tilers complain that they have nothing to do. SATUILDAY.—Neither in our piece hall n o r in th e vy, arehouses is there anything approaching an active inglie'rY for worsted goods. Lastings of low quality are the I , , riocipal objects of at ention, and the supply seems to ek.eale much nearer than it did to the ' wants of purchasers • As the demand for yarn con tinues exceedingly limited, and the prices wholly un remunerative, the spil'ners are producing as little as is consistent with ,keeping their machinery in order. Wool remains mus'th as it was, the sales being very moderate at about late rates. IlophEssrlELD, TUTSDAY.--We have no altera tion to report in the state of o t er market of today. A feve deliveries have been mac;e of goods for the coming winter season, but it is yet full early for any large orders in that lass of goods. There has been a little increase in the shipping trade during the week. The wool market is slack for the season. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The market at the Cloth Hall has again been dull, and the woollen trade caa tinues quiet. Business has been rather better in tho warehouses during the past week. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ARSON AND SUICIDE IN FRANCE. An extraordinary crime has been committed at St. Hippolyte, in the department of the Tarn and Ga ronnie. On the 11th inst., at about nine in the even ing, tie house and outbuildings of a farmer named Aradel, commonly called Corrah, were observed to be on fire. Twenty or thirty people soon assembled, and were taki.eg measures to extinguish the flames, when the report of gun shot wee heard, and at the same instant the son of the mayor of Boulac, who was in the crowd, fell senseless and severely wounded. He was scarcely raised frorn the ground when a second shot was firod, and another young man fell bathed in his blood. The crowd, which had increased, then became panic struck, some ran off to Lauzerte, to in form the magistrates of what had heppened, while others, half stupifird, gazed about, trying to discover in vain where the shots could have come from. A third shot, wounding a third person, dispersed the crowd in all directions, and the flames were left to spread unchecked. The flash of the third shot was, however, observed to proceed from the window of a❑ adjoining granary, by two or three persons, who, not having themselves the courage to make further search, went to meet the gendarmes, on the Lauzerte-road, and informed them of it. They marched at once to the granary, at which there was no staircase, or means of entrance but by a ladder. The brigadier, regardless of the danger, instantly mounted, and was followed by his men. They found a young man seated on a stool with his back turned to the window from whence the shots had been fired. He was deadly pale, trembling, and his garments were dripping with blood. His left hand was leaning on a gun, and at his feet was a double barrelled pistol yet smoking. His face was one large bloody wound. His lower jaw was broken, and there was a hole in his forehead from which blood flowed in torrents. The wretch had just shot himself in the head. Although horribly mangled he still breathed. He was recognised to be Bartho lomew Aradel, the son of the proprietor of the house burnt down. He was arrested and taken to the hos pital of St. Lauzerte, where he soon died of his wounds. The explanation of this terrible drama is as follows :—Bartholomew Aradel, ruined by gambling, or nearly so, and owing money in all directions, re solved upon suicide. But he first set fire to his father's house, and then bid himself in the granary to fire at all those who attempted to extinguish the flames. It is supposed that he had meditated the diabolical project for seine time, as several cartridges, bullets, and a quantity of powder and lead were found upon him. Tue three wounded persons are happily expected to recover.—Galignani's Messenger. HEALTHOF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar-General.) The health of London was last week rather below the average. The deaths of 1,097 persons were regis tered ; of whom only 206 had attained the age of 60; 496 were children under 15 years of age and 394 were in the middle period of life. The age of one person was not stated. The deaths of males (569) exceeded the deaths of females (528) by 41. The births of 1,527 children were registered, and the girls (785) exceeded the boys (742) by 43. Cholera is decreasing,. It was only fatal to 7 per sona, 5 children and 2 adults in the week; whereas in the five preceding weeks the deaths from this disease were 28, 19, 28, 17, 17. Diarrhcea is returned as the cause of 97 deaths; 67 in children, 30 in adults. Small-pox was fatal in 23 cases, measles in 13, pooping-cough in 19. Scarlatina is increasing ; it was in the last five weeks the cause of 18, 20, 29, 27, and 41 deaths. The mortality from typhus has gradually increased ; about 36 persons died of the fever weekly in June and the begin ning of July. The deaths rose to 50 weekly in Au gust. In the present month the disease has grown still more fatal ; and last week it destroyed the lives of 67 persons— 24 children, 5 old people, and 38 persons in the prime of life. An increase of this formidable epidemic is to be apprehended. 13 women died in childbirth; 4 of them of metric or childbirth fever : 2 deaths were referred to burns and scalds, 3 to hang ing, 9 to drowning, 11 to fractures, 1 to wounds. 186 of the deaths in London occurred in public in stitutions; 124 in workhouses, 5 in military and n ava l asylums, 42 in hospitals, 8 in lunatic asylums, 3 in military and naval hospitals, and 4 in prisons. The following are the particulars of seven cases of cholera which were registered and c er tifi e d b y t h e medical attendants during the week ending Saturday the 20th September. Tae cause of death is stated in the words of the attendant. In Fulham, at Bone•shed, Fulham-fields, oa the 10th September, the son cf labourer, , g a a a ye ar, "cholera infanturn (14 days), den:ition.

The annexed cases are taken from the registrars' reports : In St. Marylebone, Rectory sub-district, at 16, Great York-mews, on 18th September, the daughter of a servant, aged 6 years, " typhoid fever (3 weeks)." Mr. Gayleard, the medical attendant, adds, that " this is the fourth or fifth case of typhoid fever in this mews. Each inhabitant has to empty a pail down a common grating into the sewer every evening, there being no closet or any sewer to carry it off, and even the urine of the horses has to be collected and so diTosed of. Bubbles of noxious gas are continually appearing through openings between the stones." In St. George, Bloomsbury, at 13, Bloomsbury street, on Sept. 12, the daughter of an assistant at the British Museum, aged 12 months, " diarrbcel." Mr. Yardley acids that " the informant in this case states that the attack commenced about a fortnight ago while residing at 17, King's-terrace, Bagnigge wells-road, where he lost another child on the same day owing to offensive effluvia from defective drainage, and a cesspool in the yard; two visitors were also at tacked with diarthea." In West London sub-district, at 5, Poppin's-court, St. Bride's, on 14th September, the daughter of a tailor, aged 6 months, " small-pox (21 days)." Mr. Nason, the registrar, states that " the father has four children, none of whom have been vaccinated, and now labouring under the same disease, one two years old not out of danger ; the house is well drained and ventilated." In St. George, Southwark, London-road sub-dis trict, at 3, Duke-street, on 15th Sept., a shoemaker, aged 34 years, " typhus fever (16 days)."

A day or two ago a highly respectable merchant in Manchester, who has a brother married and settled in Ame)ic, received a letter from his relative in the United States, apprising him that his friend and partner from Manchester had reached " Mount Vernon," the writer's reiclence, and that he was doing all he could to render him comfortable. Not having any partner, nor having furnished any friend with letters of introduction to his brother, the gentleman was at a loss to under stand the communication, but a letter brought by the same mail, also from America,, of which we subjoin a copy, served in some measure to clear up the mystery. It seems that some clever gentleman, who remains to be discovered, has palmed himself off on the brother iilAtnerica a s a f r i en d an d par t ner o f th e b ro th er i n this country, for what purpose may be easily surmised °n Per.using the l e tt er w hi c h h e h as h a d t h e e ff rontery to write : " Blount Vernon, United States of America, Aug. 21, 1851. ;; My dear k;ir,—By the above you will see that I have WEDNESDAY arriv. td safe at the home of your brother. I had the pleass tre of seeing his lady first, and she told me that I could find Mr. -- at a place about a mile fur ther I was so anxious to see him. that although. "I had walked fiteen miles that day, I went on. I TecogniFed him as saon as I saw him; his eyes and yours, in their expression, are alike. I returned with him to his house, and I can assure you that I could not have been treated better in my own home than I w •as there. Your brother is a perfect American and hunter ; and I believe that ho never could live again in I iurope. So far as I can see, be lives happy and con tented with his wife. I am not much acquainte d with the females of America ; but if they rem, sable her, I—and you know how deeply I am in t crested in Manchester—nearly feel in clined to is arry one of them. At present his lady is sick, but tt e last two days better; I believe she must have been very handsome when your brother married her. In short, if you could see her, you would approve his choica. By some misfortune on board the steam boat, my car pet bag hod miscarried, so I could not de liver the pa ::ket which you entrusted to rae; but I feel certain and c an assure you that it is not lust; even my money and c lothes are in it, and if we should not find it, I am comp cited to draw on New York in your favour, on the same 1 louse where your brother's second draft has been honoure d. Mr. Charles Wilson has left for Now York, from : Slew Orleans, and probably I ehall draw on him. Ile ha a succeeded well, collecting nearly 11,000 dolls. in Ne tv York. I have received for your house a draft on Taylor and Co., Manchester, for 3,500 dolls.; a draft on S cholefield and Co. for 1,500 dolls.; a draft on Jennings and Co. for 300 dolls. I have sent all these drafts on by Mr. Wilson; you will receive them by next steamer. The stock of cotton on hand in New York and New Or leans is very large, and continues to depress the market. The quotations generally at New York are about 1-6th d. per Ib.; but I don't think it can last long; there can be hardly further decline. You must excuse my bad writing, as it seems to me I am sitting beside a baker's oven. I am nearly melted with heat. I shall write more by next steamer. I am very much pleased here—have been out hunting, and am nearly burnt black. lam afraid you will not know me when I return. Pre sent my best respects to my house, and all concerned— my regards to the ladies, and my very best love to Miss Matilda.—l remain respectfully yours, "LEWIS SICIIARD. " N.B. I have told your brother that the packet cOn tains pictures, a letter of credit, and letters from his mother and sister." It is perhaps unnecessary to repeat that the writer is an impostor, and totally unknown to the gentleman whose name he has so unwarrantably made use of.— Manchester Courier.

HENRY DIHSDALE AND OTHERS. At the sitting of the Learned Baron this morning, Mr. llobler applied on behalf of the defendant, Henry Dimsdale, for leave to issue a writ of habeas corpus, returnable forthwith, directed to the keeper of the Queen,s Bench Prison, to bring up the defendant for the purpose of his being admitted to hail, to surrender at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court, to an indictment, at the instance of Mr. Jarman, prefer-. red against the defendant and others, for assaulting the prosecutor by throwing eggs and bags of flour, on their return from the last Epsom races. The Learned Gentleman said he had given notice of the intended bail to the prosecutor, and he fully understood that no opposition would be offered to the application. The Learned JUDGE said, under the circumstances, the writ might issue; and at the request of Mr. Hobler, appointed half-past one for taking the bail. At that hour the defendant was brought up in cus tody. • The several parties, as also the bail, being in at tendance, The Learned JUDGE asked the solicitor for the pro secution if there was any objection to the sufficiency ? Mr. Jarman said he did not propose to offer any. The bail having justified i❑ 2001. each, and entered into the requisite recognizances, the recognizances of the defendant in 4001. were signed and taken, and an order made for his discharge. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 23. IN RE ISEMONGER AND ISEMONGER. The bankrupts were merchcnts of Little Hamp ton, Sussex. This was a meeting for the choice of assignees and proof of debts. The debts and liabili ties were said to be between 2,0001. and 3,000/., the assets about 3001., independent of some property , which was mortgaged, a surplus from which was ex pected. Mr. N. Dyer and Mr. E. Corney, of Little Hamp ton, were appointed assignees. A gentleman representing some creditors residing in the north of England made an application to his Honour that a north country creditor should be joined with the Little Hampton ones. His HONOUR said the creditors were to determine; the court was not ever to be called upon to counsel them whom they were to choose. Those who at tended were to Tote and choose. The only ground for the court to interfere was when the persons chosen were unfit, and nothing of that sort bad been shown in this case. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 23. (Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.) IN RE JOSEPH STAMMERS. This insolvent, lately lessee of the Marylebone Theatre, applied for his discharge, which was un opposed. The Learned COMMISSIONER examined the sche dule, and inquired if any of the performers em ployed at the2Marylebone Theatre were creditors ? The insolvent replied that 50 or 60 persons were, some for the current week's salary at the period of his arrest, and some for arrears. Altogether about 100 persons were employed in the theatre. The insolvent was ordered to be discharged forth with. IN RH EDWARD RICHARD!. This insolvent wai opposed by Mr. James, a tailor, who stated that the insolvent ordered a suit of clothes of him in June last, to be sent to Anderson-street, Chelsea, an address that was not mentioned in the de scription. The insolvent said he had not resided in Anderson street, hut had his letters and parcels addressed to that place. He resided at that period at Battersea. Mr. Nrcuors, who supported, submitted that as the insolvent's real residence was mentioned in the description the Court would not require a re-adver tise:nent. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER, however, decided that the decriptiun was insufficient, and adjourned the case for the insolvent to advertise himself as of An derson-street. IN BE JOSEPH DELL. Mr. CooKE applied in this case for a dismissal of the petition filed under the protection statutes, and for leave to file one under the Ist and 2d Victoria, c. 110. The insolvent wrs in cu s t o dy upon an attach ment from the Court of Chancery for non-payment of a sum of money as a contributory to the North of England Banking Company, and as be, therefore, was a partner in that company he was liable to the bankrupt laws, and could not petition under the Pro tection Acts, his debts exceeding 3001. The COMMISSONER granted the application. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Sept. 23. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-J u d ge , and a Bench of Magistrates, at th e Guildhall, \\rest minster.) Harriett Mauseley, aged 19, was indicted for having stolen a pair of stays and other articles of the value of 11s., and the sum of sd, the property of W. Austin, under the following circumstances : It appeared that the prosecutor is a private in the 3d battalion of Grenadier Guards, and that whilst he was on duty, in the month of July last, at Spring gardens-gate, St. James's-park, he observed the pri soner wandering about as though in a state of all but starvation, and in a very dilapidated c on diti on i n re spect to health. He spoke to her, and finding her to be in the weakly state which her external appearance had indicated, he told her to go to his home, No. 13, Lower Crown-street, Westminster, where she would find his wife, who would give her something to eat upon her stating that he had sent her. Accordingly, the prisoner went, when the prosecutor's wife gave her some coffee and bread and butter, and also allowed her the use of water, soap, and towel, with which to wash herself. Upon the prosecutor's return home he told her that as it was night she might sleep there. For this boon the prisoner appeared to be most thankful, and he accordingly desired his wife to make up a bed for her on the floor. Here she slept that night. In the course of conversation the prisoner told the prosecutor that she was a stranger in London, and had run away from her home at Chichester, whereupon, as the girl appeared to lam en t th e step she had adopted, the prosecutor offered to put himself in communication with her father, with a view to her being restored to her home. Oa the following morn ing the prosecutor and his wire went out for a short time, and during their absence the prisoner had made up a bundle of somo of his wife's clothes, and walked off with it. Nothing more was heard of the girl until the 3d of the present month, when she was met by the prosecutor, having on at the time the bonnet and shawl of his wife. Of course he at once gave her into custody. The prisoner now made no defence. The Learned JUDGE having summed up the evi dence, The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned JUDGE then said that the conduct of the prosecutor in this matter was in the highest degree creditable to him, not only as a soldier, but as an Eng lishman. The Court deemed it necessary to say that much, for whenever a soldier was convicted before him of an offence against the criminal law, be never spared censure of the severest kind. Upon all occasions, therefore, when the opportunity offered, it afforded him much gratification to be able to commend the conduct of a British soldier. It was by such men as this prosecutor that the real honour and integrity of the British army were supported. With respct to the prisoner, her conduct had been marked by the blackest ingratitude. The sentence upon her—she was well known, it appeared, to the officers —was imprisonment and hard labour for six months. George Hamilton Gritton was charged with having stolen the sum of 101. 2s. 91., belonging to Mr. Wil liam Samuel Burton, furnishing ironmonger, of 39, Oxford-street. Smith, 16 E, apprehended the prisoner on Thurs day last, and told him he wanted him for embez .. zling 101. and upwards from Mr. Burton. The pri soner said, "They don't mean to press the charge, do they ?" On his way to the station the prisoner said he had been very foolish ; it was the only act of dishonesty he had ever committed, and he would take care it should be the last. This he repeated several times. The prisoner, who said he had no defence to offer, was committed for trial. CLEI?KENWELL. Mr. John Batten, aged 33, of 70, Southampton street, Pentonville, master-plasterer, was placed at the bar before Mr. Combe, charged with unlawfully as saulting Sarah Maidment, a girl 14 years of age, with intent to violate her.—The prisoner was remanded. 4 LAMBETH . . William Bowen, a well-dressed young man, who was described in the charge-sheet as a clerk, residing at 2, Agnes-street, Waterloo-road, was brought be fore Mr. Elliott, charged with committing a most outrageous assault on Eliza Smith, a young girl about 16 years of age, with intent to commit a rape. The complainant, who cried very much during the examination, and appeared to be suffering extreme pain from the prisoner's violence, said that about the the end of August she left her parents' roof in York shire for the purpose of seeking a situation in London. Having some friends here she succeeded about a fort night ago, when she entered into an engagement with a lady in York-place, York. road, to remain with her six months, as companion. On Sunday night, about nine o'clock, she went out for a walk, and proceeding a greater distance than she intended, lost her way. She felt very much alarmed, and asked several persons the way back to York-place, when she again missed her way, and meeting the prisoner at the corner of a street, asked him to point out to her the way home. He re plied that he was going to the York-road, and he would show her the nearest way. Believing him to b e a re spectable single young man she readily accepted his pro posal, and accompanied him up a street which she had ascertained since was Granby-street. Perceiving the railway at the end and some railway carriages, she turned round to him and said, " Surely that is not the way to the York-road." He replied, "Oh, it's all right—it's the nearest way. 'When they got to the end of the street he seized hold of and threw her down in a recess, when he pulled her about in an indecent manner. She struggled hard with him and screamed very loud for help, but he nearly completed her ruin before any one came to her assistance. (Here the poor girl described the bra tal manner in which she bad been treated, the particulars of which are unfit for publication.) James Bridge, a carpenter, residing at 8, Griffin street, York-road, said that about half-past nine o'clock on Sunday night he was going home through Granby-street. When he got near the end he stood talking to a woman, when he heard the screams of another woman a short distance off. There being so many bad characters living about there, and such noises being of frequent occurrence, he took no no tice at first, but the screams were continued weaker sad weaker, as if from some one in diatress. He Charles Hancock, aged 25, was indicted for having stolen a carpet and other articles of the value of 31., the property of Newby Hutchinson. The prisoner, it appeared, had been in the service of the prosecutor, an upholsterer, in Oxford-street, for a short time, but was discharged some time in the month of June. The principal witness against the prisoner was a young woman of the name of Eliza May, the wife of John May, of No. 6, Queen-street, Golden-square, who had lived in adultery with the prisoner for nearly two years. The evidence of this witness went to show that during the time the prisoner had been in the service of the prosecutor he had been in the habit of bringing various articles home, of which those now charged in the indictment as having been stolen were a part. Some of the things, at the in stigation of the prisoner, she had pawned at Chap man's, in London•street, Tottenham-court - road. I Eventually a quarrel arose between her and the pri soner, and upon her expressing her determination to EVE]StING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1851. leave him, he refused to allow her to take away her , clothes. After some difficulty she obtained possession of her clothes, and among them she found the dupli cates of the prosecutor's property. Hence the present prosecution. Irt cross-examination the prisoner asked the witness 'wh , ither she was not his wife. `The witness denied that she was his wife, and added thi it she was the wife of John May. The prisoner—What, were we not married in Ja nt tary, 1850, at Trinity Church, in the New-road ? T. 3e witness—No, I never was married to you. The prisoner said he would most solemnly swear th at he was married to the witness at the time he had at ated, and at the church he had mentioned. That 'wing so, then, as a wife could not give evidence against a husband, he besought the jury to pay no attention to what she had sworn, The witness, in reply to a question from the Court, stated that she was the wife of John May, and had never been married to the prisoner. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, said that it was of no use for him to say anything, for the woman had made up her mind to convict him by false evidence. In conclusion he declared most bokinnly that she was his lawful wife. The Learned JUDGE left the case to the jury, who found the prisoner Guilty. The Learned JUDGE sentenced him to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. James Reilly, aged 28, was convicted of having un lawfully and violently assaulted and wounded Emily Marriott. The details of this case appeared in our police re , ports a few days since. The Learned JUDGE sentenced the prisoner to 8 months' imprisonment and hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOTV-STREET. Charles Appleby, a middle-aged man of respecta ble appearance, who stated that he was an under graduate of the Dublin University, was charged with obtaining 401. by false pretences. 2lr. Clarkson, the barrister, attended for the pro secution; and Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, defended the prisoner. Mr. Thomas Frank Judd, of 11, Clarence-road, Kentish-town, said—l was walking near the Crystal Palace, in Hyde-park, during the latter part of De cember last, when I accidentally met the prisoner, whom I had known formerly as the master of a pro prietary school at Cheltenham, where I was then a pupil. He asked me what I was doing, and I told him I was a clerk in the Admiralty. I asked him what he was doing, and he replied, " I am a barrister in the Temple." After some other conversation I said that I felt inclined to study for the bar myself, and asked him what was the usual course of pro ceeding, and the expense of entering as a student. He said if I would call upon him at his lodgings, at 6, Grafton-street East, he would give me every in formation. I called upon him a few days afterwards and said I would have my name entered, and he then stated that he should require 401. to pay for my ad mission. I procured the money and accompanied him to the Temple, where he left me, se he repre sented, to go to the treasurer's-office and pay in the amount. Presently he returned to me and produced some papers, one of which purported to be a receipt for the amount. I remarked that it was not stamped, and told him that I thought the Temple people ought to conduct business in a better manner. He returned and produced another receipt, signed " H. Compton, treasurer," and duly stamped. After showing me the receipt, he said, " Now you are a student of the Tem ple." This was on the 24th of January last. I was shortly afterwards taken ill, and consequently did not discover until August last that my name had never been entered at either the Inner or Middle Temple, but that he had entered his own name instead. Mr. Lewis cross-examined the witness with the view of ascertaining if there bad not been some other money transactions between the parties, but the only facts elicited were that he had occasionally lent the prisoner smaller sums, including 31, one Saturday, to enable him to go to Brighton. The prisoner instructed his solicitor to put other questions to the witness, but they were so obviously irrelevant or untrue, that:Mr.Lewis felt it his duty to abandon the defence. Mr. Clarkson said he should call witnesses to prove that the name of Mr. Judd had not been entered upon the books of either of the societies, and if a remand was granted it would be probably in their power to show, by other evidence, that the exact money paid by Mr. Judd had been used by the prisoner to place his own name on the books instead of that of the pro secutor. Mr. Robert Scott, assistant-treasurer of the Inner Temple, produced the book containing the names of the students of the society, and stated that no person of the name of "Francis Judd" was included in the list. The name of " Charles Appleby" appeared in the book, and witness identified the prisoner as having entered his name on the 24th of January, and paid the sum of 35/. 63. 51 He entered into the usual bond, and had since kept his terms. The 35/. was paid in bank-notes, and it might be possible to ascertain their numbers from the bankers, Messrs. Gosling and Co. The prisoner could not be called to the bar until three years after the date of his admis sion as a student. Dr. Lushington is the present treasurer of the Inner Temple. Witness did not know any person of the name of " Compton" in the office. Mr. E. Eldred, the sub-treasurer of the Middle Temple, proved that no student of the name of " Judd" was admitted as a student of that inn at the time in question. The prisoner was not a barrister of the Middle Temple nor a student. Mr. H. Long manna is the current treasurer, and no one of the name of " Compton" is known to the office. Baldwin, 273, City police, stated that he appre hended the prisoner in Newgate-street, on Saturday afternoon, by the direction of Mr. Judd, who called him for that purpose. The prisoner, on being told that he was charged with obtaining money under false pretences, asked Mr. Judd to settle it in another way for the sake of his child. He said, "It is a pri vate matter and ought to he settled privately." Mr. Judd declined, saying that he would not compromise a felony. The prisoner, on being asked for his reply to the charge, stated that he had only been able to have a few moments' conference with his solicitor in the cell, and, by his advice, he should reserve his d e f ence . It appeared th a t the prisoner was also liable to prosecution for forgery, but there was no wish to proceed against him on the more serious charge. Mr. HENRY remanded him for further examination MARLBOROUGH-STREET. accordingly proceeded to the spot whence they pro ceeded, when he saw the prisoner lying on the com• plainant in a very disgusting position. She was struggling very hard to get up. Witness immediately seized hold of the prisoner and called out for assist ance, when a police•constable came up and secured him. The poor girl became insensible, and it was some time before she recovertd sufficiently to give him in charge. She then detailed the whole of the cir cumstances. James Nunn, police-constable 238 L, said about eleven o'clock on Sunday night he was on duty near the New-cut when he heard cries for assistance, anti proceeding in their direction he saw the prisoner is the custody of last witness. He gave him in charge for assaulting the woman, who was in a very bad state. Her clothes ware much torn and very dirty. The prisoner's dress was in a disordered state. The prisoner said in defence, that about half-past ten on Sunday night he met the complainant near the railway-station in the Waterloo-road. She came up to him and said, " Old fellow, you seem rather lushy." He replied, peril:Ts he was; when she asked him to treat her. He told her that he would not at present. She then asked him the way to the Yol lr road, and they both walked along Granby-street. When they got to the end of the place she stole his pocket-handkerchief, and when he took it from her she screamed, which brought a man to the spot, who collared hi; - n and gave him into custody. He denied having assaulted her in the manner described. James Bridge was recalled, and asked by the ma gistrate whether he saw the prisoner in the po,ition he had described ? The witness replied that such was the case; there was no truth whatever in the pri soner's statement. Mr. ELLIOTT said he never heard of a more brutal and outrageous assault, and the impudent defence set up by the prisoner aggravated the offence. He should commit him for trial at the ensuing sessions, where no doubt be would receive that punishment his cow ardly attack so well meri'ed. He was accordingly committed for trial. THAMES. William Smith, van proprietor, of Margaret-street, Salmon-lane,:Limehouse, was charged with:committing a most violent assault on t'lary Isabella Pierce, a mar ried woman, living at Middle Shadwell. It appeared from the evidence of the complainant (whose face exhibited several excoriations which were still bleeding), and other witnesses, that about three o'clock that afternoon the prisoner was removing the goods of a neighbour in a van, which was in the care of a lad, the servant of the prisoner, when the com plainant with some other women got into the vehicle which they drove about. The prisoner, hearing of the conduct of the complainant and her friends, seized hold of the former and dragged her out of the cart. He afterwards severely lashed her with his whip over her face and shoulders, and inflicted several deep cuts on her face and neck. He also commenced a similar attack on the other women, who were, however, as sisted by their friends, and as they were about to re taliate on the prisoner, he ran away and go; into a house for protection. The prisoner, who admitted that he had exercised much unnecessary severity, was fined 205., or in de fault 14 days' imprisonment. HAMMERSMITH. Levy Le Grand, aged 51 years, who stated that he was a teacher of languages, but a physician by profession, residing at 2, Ann's-place, Queen-street, Hammersmith, was brought before Mr. Paynter, charged with decoying and indecently assaulting a boy, named Richard Wilding, aged 11 years. There was a second case against the prisoner of assaulting a girl, named Rachael Harris, of tender years. - The proceedings created considerable interest in a crowded court, but are unfit for publication. Mr. PAYNTER said he should remand the case for a week and would take bail for his appearance, himself in 2001., and two good securities in 1001. each. He should require 24 hours' notice of the bail. The prisoner was then removed to the House of Detention in the police van. James Broggeriff, the landlord of the Ennismore Arms public-house, near Princes•gate, Kensington, appeared on two summonses, taken out by Mr. John Eiger, the extensive builder, for having unlawfully and maliciously destroyed a turnstile or tollgate, and with assaulting William Foley in the execution of his duty. The question turned upon the right of way upon a pathway to the defendant's premises. It was stated by Mr. Lewis that the estate called Princes-gate estate had been purchased of the Earl of Listowel by Mr. Eiger, for building purposes. The defendant's house had been erected about five years, and the land belonging to it was private property. There was no thoroughfare, and a gate was locked at ten o'clock at night. The defendant had applied to Mr. Elger in January last to have the gate kept open until twelve o'clock at night for the convenience of his customers. Mr. Eiger refused, and in July last a turnstile was erected, by the desire of the inhabitants, for the purpose of preventing the passing of too many per sons, as they very naturally might do, as the road from the pathway leads to the transept entrance of the Exhibition. A penny was charged for each person, and Mr. Eiger did not place the proceeds in his private purse, but presented the money to Sr. George's Hospital. The defendant and his servants were allowed a free passage, and ware exempt from the toll. The defendant, however, considered the pathway a public thoroughfare, and on the 13th inst. he and his servant proceeded to destroy the tollgate, which was the subject of the present complaint. Mr. John Eiger and his clerk proved the pathway to be private property, and produced the lease of the estate. Mr. Martin contended that the pathway in question was dedicated to the public, and was therefore public property. - Mr. PAYNTEE said he always thought the pathway was a private one, but before he gave any decision he would visit the place and refresh his recollection. Mr. I\Lirtin said he could call witnesses to prove that the pathway bad been in existence for 20 years. After some further conversation the parties arranged the dispute. Mr. PAYNTER agreed to allow the summons to stand over for a month, and in the meantime Mr. Ei ger promised the defendant eight tickets, to allow himself, family, and servants to pass through the turnstile free of payment. CHRIST'S HOSPITAL. The annual recitation by the scholars of this ancient foundation, better known as the Blue Coat School, takes place usually on the 21st of September, marked in the calendar as St. Matthew's Day, but as that festival fell this year on Sunday, the more secular business of the recitations, &c., was pcstponed till yesterday, when a large concourse of the parents and friends of the pupils, to the number of at least 2,000 persons, assembled in the finely antiquely decorated hall of the hospital. The boys, to the number of 700, were ranged at the east end of the hall, on either side of the great organ ; and as every other part of the building was crowded to excess with the company, consisting chiefly of ladies, the effect of the scene was unusually animating. The Lord Mayor presided on the occasion, attended by the Sheriffs, Aldermen Farncomb, Sydney, Carden, and W. Hunter, and the Common-Sergeant. About one o'clock the business of the day com menced, when recitations on the following subjects were delivered by the under-mentioned scholars : Latin Oration, on the Benefits of the Royal Hos pitals—Henry Dove Sweeting, third Grecian and mathematical medallist, 1851. English Oration, on the same Subject —Gilbert Wilson Brown,:first Grecian and Times scholar, who is proceeding to Emmanuel College, Cambridge. French Oration, on the same Subject —George Charles Bell, second Grecian and classical medallist, 1851, who is proceeding to Lincoln College, Oxford. Latin Alcaics, on " Columbus"—Claude Hubert Parcz, twelfth Grecian. Greek lambics, translation of the Chief Justice's Apology and King Henry's Reply, from Shakspere —Henry Bawden Parkin, sixth Grecian. Latin Elegiacs, on " Lucretia"—Hadarezer Henry Stone, tenth Grecian. Greek Sapphics, on " Queen Elizabeth"—John George Gauntlett, seventh Grecian. Latin Hexameters, translation of "Scepticism," from Campbell's " Pleasures of Hope"—John Wilberforce Doran, eighth Grecian. Latin Sapphics, on " England's Invitation to the Nations"—Henry Rogers levers, eleventh Grecian. English Ode, on "Rome "—Henry Ludlow, ninth Grecian. We may mention that there was also to have been a Greek oration on the benefits of the Royal Hos pitals, but the young gentleman who was to havo de livered it (Ft. A. Lloyd, fifth Grecian) was unfortu nately absent from ill health. The orations that were delivered were given with great effect and animation and it was evident that the young reciters entered heartily into the spirit of their respective themes. - In the English oration, Mr. Brown made a graceful allu sion to the Christ Church scholars, who, proceeding from the school last ear, had borne off the following honours from Cambridge University during the last session there : Williams-sth of the first class of the clas , ? , ical ;ripos. Searle-10th Wrangler. Hammond—specially mentioned by the examiners for Davies's University Scholarship, as nearly equal to the successful competitor. Townsend-2d B , 11's scholar. Ile also alluded, as did se ze , •al of the other reciters, to the lamented death of Mr. Hothain Pigeon, the treasurer of the school, who had died ihithin the past year. After the recitations, according to time-honoured custom, the "glove" was sent round among the visitors, to collect subscriptions for the young gen tleixtou proceeding to college, and we believe there • ' s 4 j,..1 LONDON, was on this occasion n o f a lli ng off from th e Wl' liberality shown by the visitors to Christ Church.
