The distribution of medals to the successful French exhibitors at the Great Exhibition took placeyester day. Previous to the distribution, the President of the Republic addressed those assembled in the follow ing speech : " Gentlemen,—There are certain ceremonies which, from the sentiments they inspire, and the thoughts they suggest, are not a vain spectacle. I cannot deny that I feel affected, and proud as a Frenchman, at seeing around me the honourable men who, at the cost of so many efforts, and so many !mikes, have main tained with distinction in a foreign land the reputa tion of our manufactures, of our arts, and our science. This is not the first time I have rendered just homage to the grand idea which originated the universal Exhibition of London. But at the moment of crowning your success with a national recompense, can I forget that so many marvels of industry and of art were commenced amidst the din of insurrection, and completed while society is still incessantly agitated by the fear of the present, and by the menaces of the future ? And when pondering over the obstacles you have had to overcome, I said to myself, How great this nation would become if she were allowed to breathe at ease and to live with the life that is in her !'—(Cheers.) Yes ! It was when public credit began to re-appear—it was when infer nal ideas incessantly urged the working classes to destroy the sources of industry itself—it was when madness, clothing itself with the mantle of philan thropy, was turning away men's minds from regular occupations into Utopian speculations—it was at such a time that you exhibited to the world those produc tions which seemed only. possible in a condition of durable tranquillity. With such unhoped-for results I am justified in repeating how great the French Republic would become if she were allowed to follow her real interests, and to reform her institutions, instead of being incessantly troubled, on one side by demagogism, and on the other by monarchical hallucinations.—(Loud and repeated applause from every part of the amphitheatre.) Do these demagogic ideas proclaim a truth ? No! They circulate on every side error and falsehood. Disquie tude precedes, deception follows them ; and the means employed fur repression are but so much lost to the pressing meliorations and the alleviation of misery. —(applause, and cries of " C'est vrai ! C'est erai !") With respect to m onarchical hallucinations, though not productive of the same dangers, they also impede all progress and all kinds of serious industry. In place of advancing, there is only a struggle. Men are seen woo, heretofore the most ardent supporters of the prerogatives and the authority of Royalty, be come partisans of a convention for the purpose of weakening that authority which is the issue of popu - ler suffrage.—(Loud and repeated applause.) We see those who have the must suffered from and who have deplored revolution the most, provoke a new one, and that for the sole object of baffling the will of the nation, and impeding the movement, which changes society, in its peaceful course.—(Bravo Bravo !) Yet those efforts are vain. All that time renders necessary must be accomplished. That only which is useless cannot be restored. The present ce remony is an additional proof that if certain institu tions disappear without return, those, on the contrary, that are in conformity with the manners, the ideas, the wants of the epoch, may brave the attack of envy or of Puritanism. You all, children of the regene rated society that abolished ancient privileges, and that proclaimed as its fundamental principle civil and political equality, you, I repeat, yet feel a just pride in being named reembers of the Order of the Legion of Honour. It is because that institution, as well as all others created at that period, was in harmony with the spirit of the age and the ideas of the nation. Far from serving, like others, to make distinctions more marked and deeper, it effecee all such, and places on the same line merit of ail kinds, to whatsoever profession, to whatsoever rank of eociety he belougs.—(Cheers.) Ac cept, then, these cruises of the Legion of Honour, which, in conformity with the grand idea of its founder, are intended to confer equal honour on in dustry as on bravery, and on bravery as oa scientific exc- Pence. Before we separate, gentlemen, permit me to encourage you to renewed efforts. Undertake new laboure without fear—they will prevent idle ness ouriug the present wiater. Have no fears for the future. Tranquillity shall be maintained what ever may happtn.—(Cheers ) A Government that relies for its suppert oil the entire mass of the nation, that has no other motive than the public good, and that is animated by the ardent faith that guides you safely over the space where no path is traced, the Government, I repeat, will know how to fulfil its mission, because it has fur it the right that pro ceeds from the people, and the strength that cornea from God !" DE IN MARK. In a recent sitting of the Volksthing of Denmark, the Minister of Marine presented a Bill fixing the naval force at 4 men-of-war, 6 frigates, 3 corvettes, 4 brig•, 42 gun-boats, 2 steam-frigates of from 300 to 400• horse power, 4 gleam-corvettes of from 200 to 300-home power, and 8 smaller vessels—in all 73 yes-41s, carrying 946 guns and 9,623 men. The ex pense is estimated at 12,000 000 rixdaltrs. In 1845 the force of the navy was fixed at 108 vessels, 1,024 guns, and 12,477 men. TIIE BOURBONS. A letter from Vienna, Gf the 18th, in the Post Arspt Gazette of Frankfort, says :—" Count de La rochejaquelin, who has been sta3 lug at Vienna, was yestentay suddenly summoned to Frohsd:rff. He has not yet returned. The arrival of the young Count as Montmorency is expected there. It is said that be is the bearer nqt only of letters of condclence from the O; leans family, but also of direct propositions for e reconciliation. The Countess de Marne it is said expressed, shortly before her death, the desire to h9r nephew that he should become reconciled with the Orleans family, and, it is added that in her papers was found a letter for the Duchess d'Orleans, praying her to forget the subjects of dissension which have hitherto divided the two families. This letter was sent to its address, and it is to the effect it has pro duced that the serious steps taken to bring about a reconciliation are to be ascribed. P. appears that the Count de Chambord is well disposed to a reconcilia tion if the Orleans family be nor, too exacting. LAU:NCH OF A FRIGATE. The sighAovieg inhabitants of Paris had on Sun day opportuaiv of witnes,ing a spectacle such as the oldest among them had never before seen, and -which the :youngest may never see again—the launch of a frigate pierced for 40 guns, within the distance of a pleasant walk from the centre of the capital. So great was the curiosity excited that for some hours before the time announced for the launch every road leading to t h e spot was thronged with vehicles and foot passengers, and seats in the ordinary conveyances leading there to were engaged six deep. Long before the appointed hour the bridge of Neuilly was one mass of living heads, nod the opposite side of the river was thronged with tens of thousands of curious spectators, w hil st scores of pleasure-boats crowded the river. O ne o'clock was the hour fixed for the affair to come off, but the spectators were doomed to have th e i r patience put to the test, for it was nearly balf.past four before the vessel touched the liter. Port u nately there were two fine military bands present, th who beguiled the time, and a large number of Orpheonists who sung a variety of glees. A few minutes after four, a bustle at the entrance-gate announced to the parties in the galleries, among whom wdre a number of elegantly-dressed women, the anxiously-expected arrival of the President of the Republic. He came on horseback, dressed in plain clothes, and only attended by two grooms. On arriv ing, ha was greeted with a unanimous and hearty shout cf " Vive le President !" " Vive Napoleon !" which was loudly repeated by everyone in the gal leries as he advanced down the yard to the seat pre pared fer him. He appeared much gratified by his reception, and bowed repeatedly as he pissed along. Previouily to the arrival of the Preident, the clergy of the punch of Neuilly had gone through the usual ceremony of benediction, and the moment the Presi dent ruched his place, the last operations were pro ceeded with. To nautical men, the launch was one of more th a n ordinary curiosity, from an inno vation on the usually adopted system s of sending the vessel into the water stern foremost: The part of the river, on the banks of which she was built, and which is the inlet running between the borders of the park attached to the late royal Château of Neuilly and the small i land opposite, is very n arrow , s scarcely wider than the vessel is long, and it was therefore necessary to adopt the plan of launching her " broadside on." The principle is the acme, though doubtless more complicated. Instead of two " way*" there were seven, whilst greater me- THE SUN, chanical means is necessarily required to move the vessel. That first of all levers, the wedge, however, soon did the business ; and as soon as the " dog shores" were knocked away, .a few heavy strokes at the wedges placed at the inner or " shore" end of the ways quickly set the mass in motion. The vessel, which bears the name of the Ville de Paris, is a very pretty craft, and is a perfect model of a 40- gun frigate minus the keel, and about 5 feet below the bends, thus giving her a fiat bottom, a plan of building which was necessary to lessen her 'draught of water. When afloat, however, this deft ciency is not visible. Her length on deck is about 1 150 feet, with a breadth of beam of 30 feet. Her upper deck is . flush fore and aft, and her height be tween decks a little more than six feet. She is to be lightly rigged as a frigate, and have the neces sary number of guns on board for the purpose of teaching gunnery. When complete, her draft of water will be about about five and a half feet. This vessel, which is - built by a joint-stock company, with the authorisation of the Government, is intended as a practical and theoretical Preparatory Naval School, and is under the patronage of M. C. Dupin, Admirals Dupotet, Halgan, and de Villeneuve, Generals Lauris ton and Tartas, and MM. Bouhier, de l'Ecluse, Fremy, Heckeren. Boys will be herein prepared for merchant service, and also for the superior naval schools at Brest, Toulon, &c. The practical part of the educa tion of the pupils will be given by the officers and crew of the frigate, which is composed of men who have already served in the navy. She will be commanded by a Lieutenant de Vaissesu. The pupils, in addition to the necessary instruction to qualify them for sea, will go through the usual routine of general education, under proper masters. It is expected that the school will be opened in the early part of 1852. This may truly be said to be an age of wonders. How would our forefathers stare with astonishment, could they be told that on the 23d of November, 1851, a 40-gun frigate was launched almost within sight of the gates of Paris, and that a whisper of the event being made at the office of the Minister of the Interior it would be known in Lon don almost as soon as the person communicating it could leave the court-yard of the hotel. REPRESENTATION OF THE SCOTTISH UNIVERSITIES. We notice that a proposal is agitated for giving representatives in the House of Commons to the Universities of Scotland. Much might be said in favour of the measu re ; and it is held with great reason that if the schools of Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin enjoy the privilege, so ought the kindred in stitutions of this country. We would claim for the case of our universities a full and respectful atten tion. But for the ensnaring test imposed on lay professors, those schools would be next to perfect in their arrangements. Here the rich and poor meet together without a shadow of grade or distinction, and no subscriptions to articles of religion are ex tracted from the students, as in the case of the English colleges. Speaking generally, the expense of educa tion is far from being heavy ; and the teachers are men particularly well qualified for their duties—in many instances scholars of eminence and of European fame. This has always been the case, and it is but justice to say that commonly the patronage of the chairs in the universities is wisely and advan tageously exercised, even where (as in case of the Edinburgh Town Council) men not scholars them selves are patrons. Nor is it a trivial matter in such a discussion as the present, that though there have been seats of learning even in Great Britain not re garded as favourable to political liberty, the univer sities were of old highly popular in their constitution —in effect, republics, of which the citizens, as we might say, were scholars, and no more. While rank in the social state dictated most galling exclusions, and while the people were too often oppressed by turns by the monarch or by the nobility, while b i rth and station conferred the most dangerous or invidious prerogatives, the man sprung from the people had one city of refuge in which talent and scholarship were held as nobility—where, at least, the mortifying dis tinctions prevalent without were in theory laid aside. Hence some of the most eminent scholars of past ages were persons of what is called " lowly" origin, of much the same class as that out of which our own scholars, divines, and professional men have originally in most cases sprung. We cannot now sufficiently appreciate the value of this benign ordination of Providence dur ing former ages, when the people in most cases were the slaves of feudal masters—the serfs, it might be, of a domineering, tyrannous lord—learning could not be despised, and it gave honour to its professors. The consequence and respectability so obtained were gene rally on the side of the masses, while, in other cases of distinction, fame and power were usually attainable but by a caste proud, haughty, and exclusive. Nor in the more noted seats of learning was the scholar a mere student, having no connexion with his school but as a learner. The republican form of govern ment already adverted to had conferred large powers and privileges on all connected with those institutions—a relic of which we fancy we detect in the popular election of the Lord Rector of the University of Gla:gow. During the dark ages, too, commerce came to the aid of science. Enlightened activity, engaged in traffic with distant nations, gave importance to the merchant, often a patron of learn ing. And it thus happens that in the ancient univer sities, and in the chartered towns and seaports of Europe, we find the fairest and most matured deve lopment of public liberty and the real rights of man. We are desirous to make these observations as we could wish to find the people well affected towards our great schools, and taking an interest in their welfare. We believe, however, that a very good feeling exists in Scotland towards the academic insti tutions of the land. And how could it be otherwise, when in those schools young men out of every con ventional rank are educated,and impelled to seek after excellence, not, however, unattainable or unknown elsewhere ? We have known a working man of the better class contrive to send two sons to the univer sity, one of whom is at present a distinguished aca demic, and holds a professor's chair. Such is the honourable pride of Scotsmen—such reputation and status may be obtained by a youth apparently born to poverty. But to revert to the representation of the Scottish Universities, we could wish to find it largely discussed by the press and country. Many may consider that if there is to he a knowledge qualification of some kind instituted, then all learned men of every school or of suitable qualifications, however attained, might have the franchise. And there is something in this. It may, however, be contended that apart from the universities being the most determinate form in which the learning of the country appears, and apart from their comprehending as alumni by far the larger por tion of the scholars of the country, the stable position and high standing of those great schools would justify the bestowal of the franchise, leaving knowledge and scholarship otherwise to be provided for as a general arrangement, if indeed the educated class are to have the franchise without proprietary qualification. All this should be pondered carefully ; and it may be assumed that Ministers are ready to give due respect t 3 opinions shared in by a large and respectable por tion of the people. It cannot be said that Scotland has had its proper quota of representatives, and in some such way we might come to have a larger in fluence in the House of Commons and over the Go vernment than is the case at present.—Greenock Advertiser. BANKING INSTITUTE. On Tuesday evening the first monthly meeting of this institution was held at the London Tavern, and was most numerously attended. J. W. Gilbart, Esq., was in the chair. The CHAIRMAN congratulated the meeting on their hiving got over the preliminary arrangements at tendant on the formation of the institution, and being about to celebrate the first of their monthly meetings. It was not a meeting for business, but for discussion, and he would call on the secretary to read the report of what had occurred since the preliminary meeting. The Secretary then read a short report, which stated that the honorary offices had been accepted by several gentlemen of high character in the commercial world, among whom were Sir Moses Montefiore, James Wilson, Esq., James Ilelme, Esq , J. W. Gilbart, Esq., and others. Two hundred mem bers bad enrolled themselves in the society, and ar rangements had been made to open rooms at the Hall o commencingeaim the A N fo a r a m id at t i h o e n y had m Commerce by the Ist of January, and also for ofalibreat tory. The discuss ques tions connected with commercial transactions, and especially those connected this might cause them m with their own calling, and to at fi enter on the consideration of many suti-cts w hi ch to have an immediate relatirst sight might not appear but they would do so only as to banking pursuits ; practical en d eavo ur to give all their discussions men, and practical bearing on the o b jects of their p ro f es4 i a on. It was probablu that they would have to discuss the question of guarantees, of matters relating to the health and comfort of those carrying on the business of banking, as well as that of life assurance—all of which would be considered in their order. In their proceedings they would follow the plan adopted by the Statis tic.:) Society, the Society .of Arts, and others. The chair would be taken by one of the officers of the institution or a member of the council, and all the arrangemets would be made by the authority of the council. A paper would be read which had been pre viously submitted to the council, who would be re sponsible so far as that a proper subject was selected, but not fur any opinions which might be expressed. At the close of the lecture there would not be any vote taken with regard to the truth or inaccuracy of the opinions con t a i ne d i n i t ; b ut a di scuss i on would follow, by which it was hoped that much information would be derived, and efforts made to apply that in formation practically to the wants and requirements of their calling. The • essay that evening would be LONDO N, on the question, " How far is the security of bankers' locks affected by the recent ingenious and scientific experiments in patent locks 11" They were much obliged by the attendance of gentlemen who were the inventors of the best locks of the day. Mr. DALTON, the secretary, then proceeded to read a paper on the subject. Few subjects connected with the Great Exhibition excited so much interest as the great " Lock Controversy." It was reported that a wonderful gentleman on the other side of the water, named Hobbs, had picked all the locks in the world ; but nevertheless Messrs. Bramah were much surprised when that gentleman walked into their shop and offered to open their lock with which they had so long defied the mechanical skill of every other artist in that line ; but having already opened one of Mr. Chubb's, he went to work, and succeeded in doing so in sixteen days. After going at length into this controversy, Mr. Dalton proceeded to say that the great security of locks de pended not so much on the complication of their con struction as on the perfection of their make, so that they cannot be obtained so as to be depended on from any one but the makers. Messrs. Chubb and Bramah's locks had been picked by Mr. Hobbs, and therefore the question arose whether the locks usually employed by bankers were now less secure than before. The resistance required by these locks was twofold, viz. :—against force and against fraud. Robberies in banks by violence in this country were rare, although frequent in America. In the case of the robbery at Messrs. Rogers and Co.'s, it was no doubt effected by fraud, the keys having been copied. The latest burglary on a strong-oom by violence was effected by an instru ment called a Jack-in-the-box, which Mr. Chubb bad sent this evening for inspection. (The instrument was exhibited, and the mode in which it was used explained.) This was now provided against by Mr. Chubb. It was a question whether Mr. Hobbs had picked Bramah and Chubb's locks under cir cumstances such as robbers might employ ; and however that might be as to Chubb's (the defect of which had been remedied), the fact of his being sixteen days about Bramah's seemed to be an answer to it ; besides which Mr. Hobbs was possessed of very extraordinary powers of manipula tion peculiar to himself. On the whole it seemed that both Chubb's and Bramah's locks were nearly if not altogether impregnable and sufficient for erdisary security. It had been suggested, however, that every banker should have snore than one lock, each of a different construction, on his strong-room door, in order to complete their security. On the whole, in answer to the question, " How far the security of bankers locks was affected by the recent scientific and ingenious experiments on patent locks ?" he should says, that although the locks had been picked, and could be picked, it had been done under circum stances not likely to occur on the premises of bankers. Mr. Cairns and Mr. BRAMAH then exhibited and explained the principles of several locks. Mr. BRAMAH explaimed that the lock picked by Mr. Hobbs had been made 50 years ago, and a part of the mechanism, which was in the locks of the present day composed of a different material, was made of soft iron, capable of being bent. The challenge had been accepted on the terms proposed, and Mr. Hobbs had opened the , locklin sixteen days ; but if the trial had been on one of those made in modern times it would have taken him sixteen months, if he ever did open it at all. Mr. HOBBS next exhibited a lock made by Messrs. Newell, of New York, the principle of which was that the key was formed of moveable bits, which it was in the power of the owner of the lock to withdraw and replace in it, so that every one, in fact, made his own key, the changes in which were capable of being multiplied in the lock in proportion to the bits of the key. It is thus secure against all impressions, and even against the maker himself. Among other pro perties possessed by this lock was a contrivance by which it resisted any attempt to blow it open with gunpowder. After a vote of thanks to the lecturer and the gen tlemen who bad exhibited and explained the princi ples of their lacks the meeting separated. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Nov. 25.) SIIGAIL—To-day West India Sugar was in fair de mand for home consumption, and the rates obtained were equal to those of Friday far better sorts of yellow and grey, but in some cases a slight reduction was submitted to for inferior and brown. A public sale of 195 hhds Barbadoes went at previous valuation, for good and fine yellow, but at a reduction of 6.1 per cwt. for inferior, low yellow selling at 31s 6d to 324 6d, mid 33s to 355, good mid to good 353 6d to 38s, fine 383 6d to 403 6d, and mid small grainy yellow 343 to 34s 6d.

In Crushed Sugar littl e i s doing for shipping, and rates still incline downwards. Maunmus.—This afternoon at the public sales of Mauritius very low rates were taken for brown, and other sorts went 63 to Is cheaper. In all 3,200 bags were offered, and sold at the following rates: ordinary and very low brown at 21s to 245, middling 243 6d to 265, good to fine 26s fid to 295, low and middling yellow 30s to 323, and good 32a 6d to 355.

Bengal met with little attention, and a reduction of 9d to Is took place, at public sale 2,400 bags were sold, mid and good like Mauritius went at 30s 6d to 323 6d, fine grainy yellow 398 to 40s 6d, good 36s 6d to 38; mid and fine grainy white 42s to 44s 6d, low soft yellow 235, and mid 256 6d to 265; there was no white Benares in the sales. Of Penang 46 bags realized 37s 6d for good white, and :31s to 32s 6d for mid and good like Mauritius. FOREIGN.—To-day a fair business was concluded in foreign Sugar privately at former rates, but the lower qualities were most in demand for exportion. Since Friday the purchases are 2,000 chests yellow Havannah at 33s to 36s for ord to good, and some parcels of Brazil, the particulars of which were not allowed to transpire. MoLasses.—To-day at public sale 297 puns Domerara Molasses were taken in at 11s por cwt. COFFEE.—To-day there was a brisk demand for Coffee, both for shipping and home consumption; at the public sales of 120 casks 680 bags Plantation Ceylon an advance of is to 2a was established on Friday's rates, low mid and mid selling at 503 to 535, fine fine ord 47s to 495, fine ord 45s to 465, pea berry 56s to 59; and triage 38s to 435.

Foreign attracts little attention; Bahia and Para can be obtained at 26s to 27a, and Guayaquil at 31s to 323 per cwt. STORY or A Doo.—Sir Edwin Landseer has given character and individuality to dogs such as was never dis played before; but the following story from the L i ncoln Times is equal to any of the great artist's conceptions:—" A gentleman resident in Lincolnshire was travelling about 8 , ) or (JO miles from home, and left a favourite little dog at an hotel while he visited another town in the neighbourhood. On his return, the landlady, in dismay, told him his dog had been attacked by a large dog of her own, and had run away from the house. He left, but returned again to the same hotel after the lapse of a few weeks • when the landlady in formed him that his littl e d og had' returned in the interim, accompanied by a large dog, who attacked her own dog so fiercely that he had nearly kill e d hi m. From the description given of the animal, the gentleman entertained no doubt but that it was his own house .dog from Lincolnshire ; and on his return home he learnt from th e servants, that shortly after his departure his little favourite dog returned one day bear ing ma rks of much ill-usage, and a f ter apparently con sulting with the larger animal, the two dogs set off toge ther, and were absent several days, presenting evid ences on their return of having travelled a considerable diBtance.7 EVENING, NOVEMBER 26, 1851. relief to, poor unprotected children, and that the Board of Excise be petitioned to agree to the commutation of her punishment. It is deplorable to think that the defendants must have been engaged in this serious breach of the law by experienced persons who have kept out of the way to secure themselves, no doubt calculating upon the lenity of the chief magistrate in such a case. It is my duty to fine each of the defend ants 301., or to send them to prison fur three calendar months. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Nov. 25. (Before Mr. TURNER, Deputy Assistant-Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates, at the Guildhall, West minster.) CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD A LOAN SOCIETY. John Johnson, aged 39, was indicted for having conspired with a person named Hill (not in cus tody) to obtain by false pretence& from one James Dwyer the sum of 41. 145., with intent to cheat him thereof. Mr. Parry conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Payne appeared for the defendant. Mr. PARRY, in stating the case, said that he ex pected to be able to prove that the defendant then standing at the bar of that court was one of a gang of persons who availed themselves of the means by which advances of money were made by loan sooieties to defraud the members of such societies, the plan being for one person to make an application for a loan and refer to an accomplice, who became security, when, the money having been advanced, it was divided between them, or among as many as were in the conspiracy. He believed that it would turn out that the prosecutor of this indictment, which was one of several of a precisely simi lar character which he had preferred against other persons, was a money lender, and the fact of his being so would be urged no doubt by the Learned Counsel for the defendant against his credit; but so long as a money lender did not avail himself of the circum stances of necessitous men to extort extravagant gain, but contented himself with a moderate interest for the sum lent, he, for one, could see no more harm in that man's course of business than in the trade of any other person in that metropolis, where goods were bought and sold for a profit. The Learned Counsel then called James Dwyer, the prosecutor, who deposed that be was a money lender, and bad an office in St. Martin's lane, and resided at 9, Brewer-street, Woolwich. A person named Hill applied to him for a loan of 51., and referred to a Mr. Johnson, of No. 3, Belvidere place, Cambridge-road, Bethnal-green, as security. Hill filled up the usual form and gave it to him. (It was produced.) In consequence he went to Johnson. That was on the 4th of November. He saw the prisoner at the address given by Hill, and asked him if he was the tenant of the house. He replied that he was, and that he had been so fourteen months ; and witness asked if he had any objection to show the receipts for his rent. He said he had not, and produced four pieces of paper purporting to be receipts, stamped, and signed by a Mr. Bull. He said they were the receipts for rent he had paid for that house. He looked at them and believed them to be genuine receipts, and was quite satisfied with the reference. He showed the prisoner the form, in which his name had been written by Hill as a security, and the prisoner consented to become security for the repayment of the loas. The prisoner and Hill went to the office in St. Martin's-lane, and signed a promissory note for the amount. The money was paid to Hill by the clerk. Hill had absconded. Search bad been made for him, but without success. When he went with an officer to Johnson's house, for the purpose of giving him into custody, he asked to be shown again the receipts. The prisoner said his wife had them, and as she was not at home he could not show them, but, when he saw the policeman, he said he bad never shown receipts at all. He advanced the money to Hill believing that the representation of the prisoner, that he had lived in the house for fourteen months, was true ; and certainly should not have done so had he known that he had lived there since Michael mas last only. In cross-examination, the prosecutor said the loan society consisted of himself only. It was called the " Railway Loan-office." He had not a betting-office at the present time, but he had bad one. It was closed a very few hours after the race for the Chester Cup in May last. At that time there were liabilities upon the office amounting altogether to 8,0001. He had paid a large sum off that amount, but he consi dered these questions quite irrelevant to the matter before the Court. He had not paid the whole of the money ; he had paid 1,8001. His losses on the Derby were included in the 8,0001. He did not lose that sum upon the Chester Cup only. He had 4,600/. owing to him at the " Corner" (Tattersall's). Never advertised for holders of his tickets on the Chester Cup to appear at Worship-street Police-court. An advertisement to that effect was published, but it was a hoax. He was not there, and could not tell whether the ticket-holders were there. He kept the office for three years. In the loan business he had not rejected more than five applications out of 170. He had been the " Loan Company" for three months. In Si. loans 41. 14s. was advanced, a year's interest being deducted, and the borrower had to pay the costa of the inquiries as to the security. In the present case there was another security beside the prisoner It was a person named Taylor. The prisoner was given into custody before the first instalment of the loan was due from Hill. He was given into custody on the Friday evening, and the first instalment would have been due on the following Monday. Re-examined—The parties who held his tickets had been quite satisfied with what he had done. He had given them 100 per cent. on the money they had placed in his hands. For instance, if be received 51. from a person he had returned 101. It was his inten tion to liquidate the whole of his liabilities. He should obtain the 4,6001. owing to him at Tattersall's, if he could clear up his tickets. He had no doubt he should receive it. Michael Ryan proved the advance of the money to Hill, and the signature of the prisoner to the pro missory note. James Bull stated that be was a rent collector, and lived at No. 4, Belvidere-place, Cambridge-road, Bethnal-green. The prisoner lived at No. 3. The prisoner never paid him any rent. None was due, for he only entered upon possession of the house at Mi chaelmas last. Was confident he had never given him any receipt, and that the prisoner had not lived there for fourteen months. Police-constable Brown, 421 K, said he took the prisoner into custody. When Mr. Dwyer asked him to produce his receipts he said he could not as his wife was out, and she had them. Did not hear him deny that he had ever shown receipts to Mr. Dwyer, but he might have done so. Mr. PAYNE then addressed the jury. He said the prisoner had got into his present situation through serving a friend who had taken him in, and that he was a man more sinned against than sinning. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to comment in a vey strong manner upon the prosecutor, and the facts which had come out in his cross-examination, and in refer ence to betting-offices, he said they were the greatest curse that ever befell this country, for to them thou • sands, not only individuals, but families owed their ruin, for men who possessed ample fortunes had lost every penny, and reduced themselves and those who were dependent upon them to beggary and ruin, by only one half-hour's speculation upon the Derby, at these pests of betting-offices. The prosecutor had talked about having paid 100 per cent. to those who held his tickets ; but, though he had paid 101. each to those who had put 51. in his hands, and so on, he no doubt owed them hundreds, and of all persons in the world he was one of the last who should have pre ferred a charge of fraud like the present. The pri soner, unfortunately, had become surety for Hill, but he had been asrested and charged with conspiracy to defraud actually before the first instalment was due, so that the prosecutor had not waited to see whether the money would be repaid by the security or not. The DEPUTY-JUDGE, in summing up, told the jury that in his opinion the case was tolerably clear, if they believed the prosecutor's evidence ; so far as the evi dence went, there appeared nothing to show that he was a person not to be credited on his oath. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. PARRY said there were, as the Court were aware, indictments against three other persons for this same offence, and against a fourth, named lon, the grand jury had found a true bill for forgery, and that case would be sent to the Central Criminal Court for trial. He did not know, therefore, whether the Court would at once pass sentence on the prisoner, or defer doing so until the other persons were tried; but if the Learned Chairman thought of sentencing the pri soner at once, he had to say, that from information the prosecutor had received there was no doubt but that the prisoner was one of a number of persons who systematically practised this plunder on loan- offices, and he was well known to several of those institu tions. A more mischievous system of fraud could not prevail. Inspector Brannan said he knew the prisoner. For the last three or four years he had been the con stant associate of skittle sharpers, and persons who imposed upon the public by fictitious and plausible stories. Mr. PAYNE desired to know why Brennan inter fered in the matter. He bad done so without any solicitation. Mr. PARRY said Brennan was very properly dis charging his duty as a public officer, and he was not to be censured for so doing by Mr. Payne. The Inspector said such attacks, ifcontinually made upon the police, would have the effect of deterring them from fully performing their duty to the public, but would not as far as he was concerned. The DEPUTY-JUDGE said Brennan was quite right ; The COURT sentenced the prisoner to six months imprisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. James Donnell, aged 18, and Ellen 111•Carthy, aged 12 years, were charged with having been concerned in working an illicit still. The LORD MAYOR—The case is perfectly olear; It is evident that the little girl was concerned in the offence, not only from the condition in which her clothes were, but from her anxious advice to the male prisoner to " run." It is, I regret to say , my duty to commit her, as well as the male prisoner, but I request that she may be taken before the ladies who so humanely inquire into the cases of, and administer GUILDHALL. James Bellaers, representing himself a s a surgeon at 5, Nile-street, N ew North-road, who is stated to be connected with the Quaker Nilson, examined at this court on Monday last, was yesterday brought up before Alderman Carter on two separate charges, one for causing the death of a child three weeks old, and the other for obtaining 1/. ls. under false pretences. Mr Vann attended for the prosecution and Mr. Hobler for the prisoner. Mr. Vann stated that since the examination of the prisoner Milson o❑ Monday Bellaers's house had been searched by an officer, and a glass tablet with the names of Bellaers and " Dr. Harris" as surgeon and physician upon it was found ; also the book that pri soner was charged by Dr. Young with stealing some time since. He would also be prepared to show that since the examination of Milson prison had procured the apprehension of Dr. Young, who was now in the custody of the Sheriff of Middlesex on a capias ob tained at the Judge's chambers on the oath of some person that Dr. Young was about to quit the country to avoid the proceedings taken by the prisoner against him for false imprisonment, in giving him into custody on the charge of stealing the identical book found since at his house by the officer. Mr. Hobler said that the proceeding was taken without any reference to the case of Milson. He also objected to the Magistrate's jurisdiction, as the offences imputed to the prisoner took place in Middle.. sex, and not in the City. Alderman CARTER said prisoner was taken in the City, and the Act left it in his discretion ; he would therefore entertain jurisdiction, as he thought it im portant that Milson and Bellaers should be brought up together, as they were evidently in collusion. Police-constable 664 said he apprehended the pri soner on Monday afternoon at the top of King-street, Cheapside, and took him to Bow-lane station, and from there, by the inspector's orders, to the Hackney station, when he was there charged by Francis, the officer, with causing the death of a child three weeks old, and also with obtaining 1/. is. under false re presentations. Yesterday morning witness brought prisoner to this court, and on the way the latter said that "Harris was the vagabond that brought him into it." Henry Francis, 227 N, said he went to prisoner's house on Monday afternoon, and was told by his wife that Bellaers was not at home. Witness, however, searched the house, knowing prisoner was already in custody, and found a ground glass tablet with the fol lowing inscription upon it:—Mr. Bellaers.—William Harris, M.D., Surgeon and Accoucheur, &c. Ad vice and vaccination gratis." He also found some books, and from what he heard of Dr. Young's evi dence on Monday, he had no hesitation in saying some of them were that gentleman's property. He produced the following from among the papers found with the books :—" Received of Mr. Bellaers 103, on account of Dr. Harris, for William Williams.—Nov. 15, 1851." Robert Smith said he got the above tablet executed at prisoner's request. Francis here said he omitted to mention that at the station prisoner asked him how Harris had got on, and he told him he was remanded for a week. Mr. Vann then asked for a remand, in order that the prisoner might be brought up with Milson at a future day, as he intended to charge them both with conspiracy, and it was highly probable that a still more serious charge would be preferred—viz., that of issuing, in conjunction with Harris, a false burial certificate. Mr. Hobler said—With regard to that, Mr. Wak ley, the coroner, had expressed himself satisfied with the particulars of the child's death, and accordingly directed its burial, and there could not therefore have been any false certificate issued. Mr. Vann said he was informed by the officers that the coroner intended holding an inquest on the body of the child during the week. Alderman CARTER said it ought to have been done before, under all the circumstances. There was sufficient in evidence to satisfy his mind that Bellares was connected with Milson, and equally culpable. He should therefore remand them to be brought up together. BO W-STREET. Richard Beer, a shoemaker, lodging in Cursitor street, Chancery-lane, surrendered upon a warrant (issued by Mr. Hall), charging him with a violent assault upon police-constable Lewis Harris, 69 F, while the latter was on duty within the Liberty of the Rolls. The complainant, who appeared to have sustained considerable injury in some way, stated that he was walking alone in Cursitor-street, between one and two o'clock in the morning of the 11th inst., whe❑ a man, whom he had since ascertained to be. the defendant, came up to him and struck him a violent blow on the nose with his clenched fist, by which he was knocked down and stunned. When he became conscious he found himself in King's College Hospital, and, from the injuries received, he had been since unable to attend to his duties. Cross.examined by Mr. Ablett (who appeared for the defendent)—He had been three years in the police force. Was perfectly sober at the time in ques tion. He had been assisting at a fire at the corner of Castle-street, Holborn ' and, in the course of the even ing had only drunk half a pint of porter, a small glass of whisky, and a small glass of rum, the latter having been given bim by a Mr. May, in Holborn-bars, as he was wet through. He did not fall till he was knocked down, and was not taken home drunk. Thomas Duncan, a bootmaker, living in Chiches ter-rents, said that he was standing at the corner of Cursitor-street, when the defendant, who was the worse for liquor, came up and said, " I have got a b.-- policeman down here, in a passage, and I am determined to murder the Come and see me do it." Witness accompanied the defendant, after some hesitation, and found the complainant lying upon the ground, in a passage. The defendant struck and kicked him several times, and then witness went out and fetched a policeman. Cross-examined—He went with the defendant out of curiosity, and not as a witness. The complainant seemed stupified, but not drunk. Mrs. Saunders, the landlady of the house, came down stairs, and wit ness heard her say, " Go and fetch a policeman." Mrs. Saunders, the wife of a leathercutter, who oc cupied No. 10, Cursitor-street, stated that the de fendant lodged in her house. Between one and two o'clock on the morning in question the family were disturbed by his knocking at the door and calling for a light, He said he had found a policeman lying in the road, and, when a light was procured, they saw the complainant lying in the passage, apparently insensible, but able to speak. The defendant asked him " How he got into such a mess," and he replied that "He had been to the fire." Witness rebuked the defendant for bringing in a man in such a con dition, and, seeing the witness Duncan there, she desired him to go and fetch a policeman. The com plainant was bleeding from his nose and forehead, which were washed. On the arrival of a constable he inquired who had been ill-treating him, upon which the complainant replied, " The young man,' meaning the defendant, who had then gone upstairs. Several policemen arrived shortly afterwards, and witness heard them say that they could not tell how he got so tipsy. Eventually they took him away on a stretcher. _ Cross-examined—The defendant bad asked wit ness's husband to allow the complainant to remain in the passage until the sergeant had passed by, or he would be sure to get into trouble. lie appeared to be treating the complainant with great kindness. He had lodged with witness's husband for seven years, and had always borne a g oo d character. The witness Duncan made no complaint to the policemen respect ing the defendant. Mr. E. Davis, the house-surgeon at King's College Hospital, deposed to having been called up by th e night port e r, a t t wo o'clock in the morning, to att en d the complainant, who was brought , in upon a stretch er by some other policemen. the complainant was covered with blood, and witness dressed his wounds. He appeared stunned, as witness supposed, by the blows he received. Witness did not ask him if h e h a d been drinking. He did not consider the injuries of a serious nature, and would not undertake to say th a t they were not occasioned by a f all instead of blows. Witness saw the defendant three days afterwards, and signed a certificate to the effect that he was not in toxicated when first brought to the hospital. Mr. JARDINE—Do you believe he was sober at the time ? Witness could not say positi ve l y . H e con sidered the mans insensibility might ha ve b een cause d by the injuries he had received, but he could not un dertake to say that he was not intoxicated. Mr . . JARDINE—And y e t y ou actually signed this certificate, declaring th a t h e was saber. It was a mostimproper thing to do. H ere was a man w h ose duty it was to preserve order in the streets, and whose actual condition it was of the utmost import ance to ascertain, and you would screen him from the probable eff ec t s o f an inquiry, by certifyi ng t o a f ac t which you are wholly unable to support in evidence. Such conduct should be represented to the hospital authorities. Witness—My impression was that he was stunned. Mr. JARDINE—We had better say nothing more about it. Saunders, the tenant of the house in Cursitor-street, corroborated his wife's testimony, and stated posi tively that the complainant was drunk. The witness made no complaint of the defendant to the policemen on their arrival. Mr. JARDINE said the whole case as against the defendant rested upon the testimony of Duncan,whose extraordinary story was utterly unworthy of belief. He would consequently dismiss the case, forlardrio4 to make any remark upon the conduct of the police men engaged in the affair, which should be the sub ject of investigation in another quarter. Inspector Marsh stated that he had been kept in ignorance of the circumstances deposed to in evidence. The defendant was dismissed. MARYLEBONE. Charles Frederick Krohn was placed at the bar for further examination, on the charge of having carried on a system of depredation at hotels and other places to a very considerable extent. The Marquis of Granby, the Rev. Mr. Hughes, and another gentleman, who had been sufferers by the nefarious practices of the prisoner, were accom modated with seats by the bench. Mr. Hannant, the inspector, who has been actively engaged ever since the prisoner's apprehension in sifting thoroughly the system of robbery carried on by the accused, was now prepared to go into other cases. The Marquis of Granby, 5, Hyde-park-gate, de posed that on Saturday night, the 31 of August, he slept at an hotel at Dover, and that early the next morning he missed his gold watch, guard, and some seals, also three sovereigns. He had not locked hia door before he went to bed. He (the Marquis) bad understood that a foreigner had slept in the next room to him, and had gone away in the morning very early. Mr. Suffell, a pawnbroker, in Commerce-place, Brixton-road, produced a gold watch and guard which bad been pledged at his shop on the 4th of September, for 91., in the name of " Hermanson." These articles were identified by his Lordship as being his. M. Legge, a surgeon, residing at Cambridge House, Clapham-road, stated that the prisoner came to lodge and board with him on the 27th of August, bringing with him two portmanteaus. He said that he was from Denmark, and had a great deal to do i❑ the shipping business. After staying some time, he went away 151. in debt, and witness beard nothing more about him until he saw an account of his ex amination in the newspapers. He came in the name of Hermanson, and left behind him his boxes, which had in them articles of very little value. Some evidence of the most conclusive nature was gone into as to the prisoner being the person who had occupied a room at the Prince of Wales Hotel, and who had left in his sleeping apartment the bag con taining a Mr. Gunning's property. Frances Doubleday, chambermaid at the Mount Hotel, Grosvenor-street, deposed that on the 21st of June last the prisoner came to the establishment and inquired if he could have a bed for nine nights. He was told that he could only have it for three nights, and he was shown up into a room No, 24. In about an hour afterwards he went away, saying that he was going to the Custom-house, where his luggage was detained. The Rev. Mr. Hughes, Ashurst Rectory, Sussex, deposed that on the 21st of June he was staying with his wife at the Mount Hotel, and that he 'lost a silver flask, jewellery, and other property to the value of 541. Mr. John Wombwell, 44, Eaton-square, said that he was staying at the hotel at the period i❑ question, and that he lost a watch. Mr. Folkard, pawnbroker, Wandsworth-road, pro duced a silver flask and a gold bracelet, and also a watch, pledged by the prisoner, the whole amount advanced to him being 61. 15s. Mrs. Sarah Anne Routledge, 6, Cambridge-terrace, Clapham-road, said that the prisoner came to her house on the 9th of May, and lodged with her nine weeks. He behaved himself well while with her, and paid great attention to her daughter, to whom he gave a watch, but they had a quarrel, and he took it from her. Four cases were completed against the prisoner, and Inspector Hannant has still in his possession se veral duplicates relating to valuable articles, the owners of which are not yet forthcoming. The prisoner, who had nothing to say in answer to either of the charges, was remanded till next Tuesday. _ _ Mr. Hudson, of the firm of Maples and Pearce, at tended to watch the case on the part of the Great Western Railway Company, as did also Mr. Collard, the superintendent of the company's police.
