BOMBAY, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 24. Money still continues abundant, and discounts easy, and there is likely to be a continuance of this state of affairs for some time to come. Government securities have maintained their value, the open loan being at par to per cont. discount. Fours have been sold at 85. Shares are comparatively nrgleeted, but we bear of some transactions in those of the Bank of Bombay at 20 per cent. premium. Orientals we quote at 161 per cent, discount, and Agras at 41 per cent. discount. The import market during the past month has been, as usual during the early part of the monsoon, almost totally inactive—the only sales effected being the con sumption on the spot. By the end of the rains the up country markets will have become bare, and should the season prove a favourable one, a brisk trade may be looked for. A largo number of vessels with supplies have arrived since the date •of our last report, but while the present high prices for cotton aro maintained, we can look but tor light supplies of .Manchester goods. The cotton market continues extremely active, and is the only article of export inquired after. Cotton Piece Goods—To effect sales in any descrip tion of piece goods a reduction on last month's rates has to be submitted to. Those chit fly iu request are 40- inch and 45-inch grey, and 72 reed white shirtings of the middling and superior qualities, and the best de scriptions of jacconets. Grey shirtings have sold to ex ter.t of 1,900 pieces, at prices varying from sr. 3a. to 6r. per piece ; and bleached jaecow!ts 1,800 pieces at from air. to sir. p.p. In other descriptions there have been but few transactions. The s:. , conci ind:etment was against another witness, who bad also given evidence on the same occasion against Mr. Sney d; but on Mr. Whateley the defendant wa s p repare d to admit that he was mis taken in swearin g w h at h e d i d, the charge was not pro ceeded with, and a ver di ct of acquittalwas taken by consent.saying that WESTERN CIRCUIT —Bodmin, July 27. • CROWN COURT. There were the names of twenty-four prisoners in the calendar. William Gibson pleaded guilty to an indictment charg ing him with setting fire to a rick. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE, in sentencing the prisoner, said that he had stated he wiehed to bo transported. Tbs.. Court was not in th e h a bi t of attending to the wishes of prisoners, but in such a case as this he must he trans ported ; let it, howev:r, not be supposed that transpor tation was merely a removal from one country to another, and that the prisoner would there have the op portunity of bettering his condition. He would first be kept in separate confinement for twelve months ; he would then most likely be sent to Portland, and be sub ject to very severe and hard labour at the breakwater; and after bent there for a long time, be would be sent out of the country. The sentence was that ho should be transported for ten years. Robert Hood, aged 62, was convicted of a rape upon a little girl, and was sentenced to 20 years' transportation. Thomas Baker, jun., was indicted for striking and beating William Coles a b ou t t h e h ead, from which beating and striking he died. Mr. H. T. Cole prosecuted, and Mr. Collier defended the prisoner. Cotton Yarn—The sales during the month amount to 111 bales (chiefly No. 20's) mule, and 250 bales (chiefly No. 30's) water twist, 70 bales orange yarn, and 25 bales Turkey red yarn. Best qnality orange realizes 11-7-, at 12 annas, and Turkey red, 1 . 4 1 r. per lb. Metals—Copper —Sheathing, tiles, and braz;ers', are firm and in good demand. A small quantity direct from Australia has sold for 474 r. per cwt. Iron—Swedish bar is in request, while British bar, nail rod, sheet and hoop and Swedish steel, are but little inquired for. Leal —Sheet as before, dull; pig in request. Cochineal—We have heard of a sale of 2,0001b5., at 2r. 3a. per lb. The market is dull, but prices remain firm. Saffron—No transactions. IC appeared that the deceased was a farmer. On the 27th of May he was at a public-house called the New Inn, at Week St. Mary. The prisoner came into the room in a most excited btate, being intoxicated, and off:red to fight any one there. At length he addressed the deceased, and endeavoured in every way to induce him to fight. He provoked him very much, but the de ceased said he would not fight, although he was not afraid. The prisoner then struck him two blows, one over the eye, and the other under the ear. After the last blow the deceased fell from his seat, and in a few minutes died. Woollens—The only sales effected during the month have been 144 pieces scarlet, 54 inch 22 yards, at lir.; and 8 pieces 62 inch 19 yards, at 2i.. per 3ard. In flannels we hear of sales of 100 pieces at 7,100 at 10a., and 75 at 9a. per yard. Beer, Wine, and Spirits—ln Allsopp's, Bass's, and Flodgson's, beer, large sales have been made during the month. In wines and spirits there has been little doing. Mor'ne Stores—The only sale we have heard of is one f 150 cwt. cordage, at 19:. per cwt. Oil of linseed is i❑ some slight demand; paints and spirits of turpentine, as also canvas and twine, very dull. The surgeon said, be considered the deceased died from apoplexy, which might hare been occasioned by the blow. He did not make a post mortem examination, be cause the coroner's jury did not wish it. The witness, upon being pressed in cross-examina tion, went into all kinds of possibilities. The deceased might have beon attacked with apoplexy even without a blow. He was a stoat subject, and therefore liable to apoplexy; and from the surgeon's evidence it would seem that, not having had a pest mortem examination, he could not tell much about it, and he could not say anything, in fact, that was of any value upon the subject. The jury found the prisioner Guilty of a common assault; and he was sentenced, after a severe admoni tion from the judge, to three months' imprisonment. The assizQa for Cornwall commenced on Friday at twelve o'clock, and ended on Saturday at two o'clock. During cur remembrance the judges have been com pelled to sit early and late for a week to get through the business. Certainly the promotion of Mr. Cockburn and the illness of Sergeant Kinglake, who was compelled on that account to leave Thrchester, and has not been able to come here, may have had something to do with the small quantity of business, for these gentlemen having been retained, the attorneys were placed in an unex pected position. It is expected that Mr. Slade will be made a Queen's Counsel before the conclusion of the circuit. Parties feel heavily the loss they have sus tained in the promotion of the Solicitor-General. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WESTMINSTER. EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES BY A LADY'S MAID, and CHARGE AGAINST TWO POLICEMEN.—Mary Ann Raw lings (who has lived as a lady's-maid in several families of distinction), John Martin, 36 B, and Charles Murray, 171 B, who had been remanded—the female prisoner charged with steeling two gold watches, a valuable brooch, a silver teapot, and other property, from General Sir Colin Halkett, Governor of Chelsea Hospital, and the two latter with having feloniously received the brooch, were brought up for final examination. There were other charges against the female prisoner, and a second against Martin. Sir Colin and Lady Halkett, Sir Fortunatus and Lady Dwarris, and other persons of condition interested in the proceedings, were accommodated with seats on the bench. A gentleman from the office cf Mr. Humphreys, soli citor, attended on behalf of the male prisoners. The voluminous evidence, which has been already de tailed, having been read over, Lucy Barton, laundress, 23, William-street, Portland town, produced some lace habit-shirts and a pair of cuffs, which had been brought to her by the female prisoner on the 11th inst. to wash. Lady Leitia llalkett proved that the female prisoner had begin in her service as lady's maid, three weeks up to the Ist instant, and identified the several articles pro duced upon this and the former occasion. I❑ reply to a question from the male prisoner's advo cate, her Ladyship could not state the exact value of the brooch, which had been presented to her some years ago by the General. It might be valued about 61. It be longod to a set, other portions of which she produced. Sir Colin Ha!keit was called to negative it statement made by the female prisoner. In reply to the inquiry from Mr. Taylor, the chief clerk, whether he had over given her the brooch, he replied that ho had not. He could not tell the value of the brooch. -- As thi; concluded the case against the accused, they were severally addressed in the words of the statute by Mr. BRODERIP, who inquired whether they wished to say anything? The female replied in the negative, and the male prisoners' legal adviser reiterated the arguments used by Murray on his previous examination, and solicited his discharge at once. Mr. BRODERIP refused to accede to this request which was strongly pressed by the advocate, until he had beard the other cases which were to be brought forward. The next case was then proceeded with. Sarah Smith, female searcher at the Pimlico station, proved finding a stocking marked " Rosa Platt" on the female prisoner's person, and another similarly marked and apparently its fellow in her box. Mr. Samuel Platt, magistrate for the county of Mid dlesex, residing at 10, Hyde Park gardens, stated that the prisoner entered his service as one of the lady's maids, on the 23d of April, and remained a fortnight. After identifying the handwriting upon the stockings as Mrs. Platt's, Mr. Platt stated that he had discharged the prisoner on suspicion of robbing the kitchen-maid of half a sovereign. He then went through a long list of articles, including silk stockings, &c., which had been missed from his house immediately after the prisoner's departure. Mr. BR , DERIP iequired w h ether he had received a character with the prisoner? Mr. Platt replied that he had rvcc'scd a good character with the prisoner from Lady Manners. The female prisoner, in reply to this charge, said that Miss Rosa Platt threw the stockings out of her drawer. Accused knew nothing about the half-sovereign. In the 119Zt case the p ris oner Martin was included in the charge, and again placed in the dock by the side of the female prisoner. Eliza Lane, a laundress, produced two cambric hand ya7napdsohlgicoeld constable, kerchiefs which had been ' leftwith her by the prisoner no lt ri a n a ‘ e v 1 Johniwn and g a II its watch ae t h o t 1., pin,i bought the duplicate tte:;!'t York-street, Westminster, nf n h pawn at Mr. Roberts's, redeemed the articles, which I('prisoner Martin, Be been in his possession ever Bi stout/ 13 ago he ll9 B, !aid that between produced the pin, which had wpaletcdhgeadnfdorpiln7s., wereon He could no t t w i as described b n y the the M o r t , h ß o o f b j e u r l t y s . proved He e u o t w h that weree te 7th July, 1849, and re deemedpledged at his house o elapsed prevented hi s Ann Brereton o den p t o i l f i y ce t m he en a . ccu T se h d ey (m we a r r e . gave the name John Martin, 0, pledged by a p e rson who gave The that l t e h n e g dp th ris o o f ti t e im r e n t a h w at ii h n a g d s Queen-street. tin) as the person pled • being able to remember the fea tures of the person. 3 i la tr s zet d Lu n c z k Miss An w in h g t h e a ti m; i g th a Buck ingham -gate, forca upon o s n h a o a r y t a d D h a w r e a b r r i e i s f , s , J a m whiches was in the service of her sister, L Brereton identified the two poelipet-lig visit there.

The female prisoner, in reply to this charge, said she knew nothing about either the pin or the watch, and feller rt,ave them t) Martin. Mr. Roberts teas recalled to ascertain whether he could identify the female prisoner upon another charge with toference to tome valuable table•linen, without which identification the case could not be supported. Mr. Ro berts said he should be most happy to assist the ends of justice;but he could not id entif y the p erson who had pawned the property, an interval of 13 months havin g since elapsed. Mt. BRODERIP said he should commit the prisoner Rawlings upon the sereral charges brought against her. He expressed his opinion that he did not think the male prisoners had any reason to f eel sur p rised at the situa tion in which they were placed; but the question was not whethei they had acted prudently or properly, consider ing their position, but whether there was sufficient dence to warrant a committal. He thought that there way, but it was so fir from conclusive that he would ac cept two sureties in 30/. each for their appearance at the sessions. -.............---- 2 to 1 agst Canczon ri b ;c ciomi N n V g A t.h T i E n n B E [ A t il l S D , V G E I t IZ E T A i s S 1 E ,: .

LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 31, 1850. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOODWOOD RACES. CHICHESTER, MONDAY NIGHT.—The entries far the plates, &c.. closed this evening at Goodwood, and if one or two did not come np to the mark—the Craven Stakes and Cowdray Stakes, the Stewards' Cup, Inkeepers', Anglesey, and Queen's Plates, filled better than usual, proving that there were plenty of horses in the neigh bourhood, and that the daily average of racing is likely to come up to the amount we mentioned last week. The pen was drawn through a considerable number of two and three years old, and several engagements were thus re duced within narrow dimensions. For the Ham and Goodwood Stakes, the Nursery Plate, and the Cups, the fields will be larger than appear to have been generally anticipated. The two and five o'clock trains this afternoon left London-bridge station with immense freights, but num bers having stopped at Brighton, Worthicg, or Bognor, with the intention of abiding there during the races, the proportion which reached Cnichester was confined almost exclusively to the sporting classes, for whose accomoda don the Subscription Betting-room was opene 1 as usual; not a bet, however, was laid. A large and distinguished party is assembled at Good wood, where open house will be kept to the close of the week. A good deal of rain fell this evening, about seven o'clock, and the prospects of the meeting in respect of weather are dubious. TUESDAY.—The weather this morning, contrary to expectation, turned out fine, and having continued so throughout the day, we are enabled so far to record a favourable commencement of the meeting. The sport, too, was ample and interesting, but the attendance did not, either in number or rank, come up to the standard. The list of the fashionables, and of the Goodwood and Molccomb parties, we must defer until to-morrow. The following return will show that four great " cer t duties" did not come off, and that the " fielders" found some consolation for a long run of ill luck.

LIVERPOOL BOROUGH BANK. - Yesterday the fourteenth general annual meeting of the shareholders in this bank was held in Liverpool; Mr. William Rathbone in the chair. Mr. Cross, the manager, read the report, which stated the profits of the past year, after payment of all expenses of management, and after allowance being made for all bad and doubtful debts during that time, amount to 51,2631. 17s. 4d. The directors have found it necessary to malt, a further re duction in the valuation of the doubtful debt account of 3,3391. 159. 2d. The directors were of opinion that the basis of the bank works should be enlarged, and they have ac cordingly prepared a plan for increasing the capital of the bank. The reserved fund at present is 26,747/. 17s. 7d. The report having been adopted, the meeting was made special, to consider the resolutions of the directors relative to the ex tension of capital. Mr. Cross read the resolutions, which were to the effect tint, in consequence of the gradual in crease of the business of the bank, a corresponding increase cf capital was desirable and expedient. That the capital of the company be increased by the issue of 50,000 new shares of 10/. each, to be paid in calls of I/. per share, at intervals of six months, &c. The Chairman moved the adoption of the resolutions, which were carries!. OVERLAND MAIL INDIA. We have received from Marseilles dispatches in anticipation o: the Overland Mail, which left Bombay on the 25th ult. The intelligence is not important. 'We take the fol.. lowing ample summary from the Bombay Times:— " The English mail of the 24th of May arrived in Bombay on the 21st of June, the transit having been accomplished in the singularly short space of 27 days 14, n . oun% _ " Our rains have this season been somewhat late of setting in; hitherto they have been rather scanty, but we can augur as yet nothing from what has occurred as to the ultimate character of the season—on the whole it seems to promise favourably. We had a severe thun derstorm on the morning of the 14th, when one or more houses in the fort were struck with lightning, and about six inches of rain fell in twelve hours. Up to the pre sent date the falls amounts to 16.00 inches in all. " There is now no longer any doubt about the retire ment of Sir C. Napier. He takes final leave cf India in October. No authentic accounts of the name of his successor have yet been promulgated. " Sir W. Gomm is expected to take charge of the Bombay army in November. " On the 29th of May a public meeting took place in the Town-hall, for the inauguration of a School of In dastry, for some time in coniemplaticn at the presidency. The Chief Justice presided; the whole of the members of Government, the Judges of the Sadder Adawlut, and the greater part of the general staff now at the presi dency, were present. The Right Honourable the Gover nor was chosen patron; Sir E. Perry, president; Vice- Presidents—The Hon. J. P. Willoughby, the Hon. D. A. Mane, Mr. John Warden, Sir Samsetjee Jejeebhoy, and Mr. Juggonath Stmkersett. Committee:—Mr. A. Spens, Mr. K. Larken, Mr. John Smith, Captain P. T. French, Captain H. J. Barr, Mr. Cursetjee Jamsetjee, and Mr. Cureetjee Pestonjee. Secretary, Dr. George Buist. The school has since been opened for the reception of pupils, of whom there is a considerable number now in attendance, or in immediate pros pect. The objects of the establishment, are, in the first place, to reclaim juvenile culprite, and teach them trades, by which they may earn their bread; secondly, to en deavour to improve the processes of manufactures and advance the resources of the country. Destitute juve niles alone are maintained by the charity, but instruction will be willingly imparted to any one desiring it. The attempt to introduce improvements by locating indi vidual improvers in the districts has hitherto proved a complete failure. There seems no reason to doubt in the success of a central establishment resorted to from ate quarters by parties who return to their country to introduce the implements in which they have been taught. "A. curious case of the tyranny practised in native states, even when most strictly under the surveil/dace of the British Government, has just come to light. Som' years_since a wealthy merchant at Baroda died, leaving two wives behind him; the elder widow was of weak intellects, but had a son; the younger, a woman of talent and spirit, was four months ad vanced in pregnancy at the time of her bsreave men t. The husband willed that his property, amounting to above half a million sterling, should be life rentai in the widows, and that in the event of a boy being horn, it should be divided equally betwixt the children, the mothers being trustees over the whole till they were of age—tho survivor to inherit all in Case of the decease al either. The Brahmin died—five months afterwards his widow was delivered of a son; as the heritage was au enormous one, every precaution was taken to secure evidence of the genuineness of the child. Net the slightest doubts on this subject were raised for a year and a half, when the younger widow began to bring Baba, the manager of the estate, to account for ex travagant conduct. While the child was out on an airing it was stolen and carried into the wilderness by Baba's directions, as is now allowed; the mother was placed under personal restraint, and told she was an im postor—that the child was none of hers—that hers had died in infancy. Remonstrance was in vain. Baba bad now secured every channel of access to Government by bribes or loans. At length a punchayat or jury of five was pro peed. This, at first, according to the advice of a native lawyer, anxious to maintain litigation, the widow, strong in her consciousness of innocence, declined. A court of Baba's eleves was now constituted, and the case decided against her, no intimation having been given her as to the charges to which she was to answer, the evidence supporting them, the record kept, or sentence pronounced. Repeated applications on the subject have hitherto only produced the answer that the case was closed—Baba was content, so were his abettors; when did ever the cause of suffering awaken sympathy or arouse friends in the East, when the sufferer was poor and penniless? The Bombay Government have at last been petitioned to take into con sideration the new matter of the abduction of the child. Baba had no more right to make away with an adopted child then with the offspring of the widow—the theft offers the strongest presumption of his guilt. The senior widow is now said to repent her ever tote joined the persecu tion against her sister, and anxious, if left to her self, to come into the field in her defence. Well she may, if she dreams that her own offspring will ever see maturity or she herself survive many years, she must look for a consummation nuknown in Oriental history. The family of the banker were under the protection of the British Government, aid on this ground it is that we are specially bound to interfere, either to secure for the widow her rights or expose her as an impostor, if what has been stated sheuld turn out incapable of proof; and, what is apprehended is, the usual lazy answer by which injustice is soothed and ease secured—' refer to previous decisions.' The cruel Bebe, at all events, de serves no mercy, unless child-stealing is to be formally sanctioned under authority of the British Government. " Mr. Beadon has been appointed to inquire into the state of the Post-office at Calcutta, Mr. H. Forbes at Madras, and Mr. W. Courtney at Bombay, with a view to the general improvement of the system. It is ex pected that the franking system, which debits the public with the carriage of Government letters and papers, and is liable, besides, to the most enormous abuses, will be recommended to be done away with ; that a large reduc tion on letter postages, with probably the prepayment system, will be introduced, and that the charge for the transmission of newspapers will be commuted from postage to a one anna (Id.) stamp, enforced on the same general plan as at home. The measure will be emi nently unhappy to those journals, three-fourths of whose circulation is at the place of publication, which, being mainly devoted to personal squabbles, and abuse, or to local gossip or slander, can never look for extend ing their circulation, and will have to pay 2/. a year of duty for papers which will never enter the post-effice. So longas postmasterships are:considered exclusivelycivil service appointments they must be in a great measure sine cures. However ale:e or excellent may be the gentleman on whom they are conferred—and there is no division of the service more full of ability—a civilian who late in life comes into an appointment of the duties of which he can know nothing—where he finds these all well dis charged by his deputy, where he has no inducement to exert himself or to learn, as perfection will not accelerate, nor want of it retard, his advancement to the next stage fixed in the service, to which the postmasterehip is looked on as a transient step merely—theduties wouldbo as we'd performed by deputy without him as with him. The Post-office is thus made available with the sum of 6,000/. or 8.000/. a-year of bonus to the since are, for which nothing whatever is received in return. " Mr. R. M. Stephenson and the engineering staff cf the Bengal Railway have arrived at Calcutta, and find ing the plan concocted betwixt the London Board and the Court of Directors impra'Aicable, are preceeding on the examination of a new line, in hopes of obtain ing a fundamental chanfp in all their arrangements, and a further and fresh guarantee from the Court of Directors. The most feasible scheme seems to be to pro ceed in the direction of Burdwan, where large returns may bo looked for from the transmission of coal and other minerals. On the *dxpenditure of a million sterling the Friend qf India ass ores us 71 per cent. gross gain - allay be looked fur; h . (,aa this fall to be deducted gin c h arges for working the ' Ate. Past inquiries with the cost of course become 'aseless, and an entirely new saheme,with a new guaran 4ee on a much larger capital than at pre sent, must, 'oe secured. We have no doubt of the India 11•Juse coming into any reasonable pleasure that can be 'said before them; past occurrences are anything but ce:tculated to secure the confidence of capitalists. We . mentioned in our Overload Summary of the 17th of April that some such result as this was inevitable; the statement was met by the emphatic contradiction of the London board. Unfortunately its accuracy was not only notorious to every man in India, but the impossi bility of constructing a railway on the plan proposed had been shown at home years before. Is it wonderful that when such things as this occur all confidence in home management should be lost in India? On the accounts of the Great Indian Peninsula meeting of the 29th of April reaching Bombay, stock at once fell 50 per cent. " Since the dispateh of last mail Captain Newbold, one of the most d.stinguished of our Eoglish geo graphers has been removed by death. He was assistant to the Resident at. Hyderabad.

It is reported that the Governer-Ge neral will not accept of the resignation of Mr. Pringle, commissioner in Sinde, and has called for the reasons which induced him to resign. It is further said that in future there is to be a commissioner for Upper as well as Lower Sinde, and that both are to be under the orders of the Lahore Commission. . _ " The Isfi;am's dominions are once more in a disturbed state, and it is rumoured that Sir G.

Cotton Wool—The purchases during the month aulount to 3,350 bales aid 4,250 candies. Although last advices from England were highly favourable, the large quantities of the stall , now in the market have prevented the rise in price which would otherwise have taken place; and, indeed, a d cline is looked tn., owing to the setting in of the rains, and the fact of last accounts from China being of a less encouraging nature than those furmf‘rly received.

By the co-operation of Mr. Whateley, Q.C., and Mr. Groaves, Q.C., who presided in separate courts, one in the grand-jury room, and the other in the Judges dining-room, for the trial of prisoners, all the Crown business, with he exception of the murder case, on which the jury were deliberating, and two indictments for perjury, were disposed of by ten o'clock last night. At that hour the first of the indictments was called on in the Crown Court, before Mr. Justice Wil liams, when Mr. HUDDLEiTON (who was the leading counsel for the prosecution), said, that having been engaged the whole of that day in the two cases of murder, ho was physically incapable of proceeding with another case that evening; and as, moreover, the, defendant was not present, he hoped his Lordship would adjourn the court until the next morning. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS said he should be most glad to do so if the state of the public business would permit him, but there were three civil causes, and two indictments for perjury still to be tried, and yet to-morrow was the commission day at Shrewsbury. Ho had no doubt that the counsel was very much fatigued, but he must remember that both himself (the Judge) and the jury had been ww \ king equally hard, and were equally tired. He did not in tend that the whole case should be tried that evening, but merely wished to make some progress in it. The presence of the defendant was not indispensable, this being a misdemeanor, and it was admitted she would surrender in the morning. Mr. LIIIDDLESTON still contended that the presence of the defendant was necessary, and as Counsel for the pro secution, required that she should surrender before the trial was proceeded with. He also further urged the plea of exhaustion, and addad, that from the pressure of business at these tvis:zes, he had not been able to open his brief in the present case; and, if he were compelled to proceed must read it at length to the jury, in order that he might at the same time inform himself and them of the charge against the defendant. After a long discussion, Mr. Justice W1111..018 directed the jury to be sworn and the case to be proceeded with. After the oath had been repeated to the jury, The crier said, my Lord, one of the jurymen refu3es to take the oath. Mr. Justice WlLLums—How is this, sir? Juryman (producing from the depths of his fob an enormous watch, and extending it at arm's length towards his Lordship)—Whoy, my Loard, its noaw moare than ten o'clock, and I'om now been sitting Ute and in eother courts moare than thoirt*eh hours, and I wo'ant sit no mocir this noight if I can help it.—(Great laughter, in which the Judge joined very good humouredly.) Further discussion took place, and at length it b. , came al e :parent t) everybcdy that no progress would be una'de in the case even if it were proceeded with, and it wan adjourned until the morning. PERJURY.--Ellen Capewell, aged 45, was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury, committed at the last Sums mer assize!. Mr. liuddleaten atod Mr. P. M‘Mahon appeared for the proseettinN and Mr. Whateley, Q C., and Mr. Skin ner for the defence. The case occupied the Court ffcm nine in the morning till six o'clock, It arose out of an nation of trespass brought by Captain Powys, of Cheadle, ii;gliinet a man named Clewee s to tat the title to a piece cf wharf at the left-hand side of Ifasford canal bridge as you go from Leek to Cheadle, occupying altogether a apace of 16 yarsis. Clewes defeaded as the sersasea of a gelatlettan named Sneyd, and the question of title was therefore in substance tried as between Powys and Sneyd, both being gentlemen of the highest respectability and of s-cry eotis sid-erable fortune; and both resembling the honest Dandy Dinment In his litigation—loohing not to " the value of the thing but the justice." The few feet of wharf were admitted on both sides to be really of little value; but each claimed a title front a remote period, Mr. Sneyd contending that it he'd talbit in his family along with the sarrottaadlng land at that side of the canal bridr for at least 70 years; and Captain Powys claiming it for a very long period alsta, Under a dekid of exchange with tire fetaatq' proprietors of the ad joiniog lands captain Powys's land was at the north side of the bridge, and Mr. Sneyd's at the south; and the spot in question was on the soeth, and if Captain Powys's claim were well feended certainly interfere with the fair proportions of Mr. Sneyd's land; and, therefetr, if ever the grays of a goose" were an excusable ground of litigation it was certainly so here.

' ALETHEIA, AND OTHER POEMS. By ' William Charles KEizt. Messrs. Longman and Co. The minor pieces containwd in this volume, of whose principal poem we had occasion some time back to speak in terms of high and richly-merited eulogiuin, fully sustain, Mr. Kent's high character as an accomplished wri :er, and an intuitive and ideal artist, possessing very considerable powers of fancy and of pathos, together with a felicity of expression which no mere cultivation can ever give --the genuine and unforced fruit of an originally poetic tempera ment. There is the same apparently careless beauty of language, the same happy choice of imagery, the same tenderness, and the same truth in these shorter poems as in his longer and more sustained effort.' The following sonnet on poor Keats seems pregnant with the peculiar graces of Mr. Kent's style : •' Another sadness round Apollo's fans; A cypress wreath hung on his golden lyre; A gleam of beauty born but to expire; Another Cbatterton in heart and brain— The doom of genius fell on earth again, And, like a thunderbolt of Sapphic fire, Blasted the rapture of thy young desire! Again from out thy lips the deathful strain Pour'd like the murmur of undying love. Again the glory, and again the woe Of bardic joy fell on then here below, Fell but to lift thy fame to realms above. A life had perfected thy form, but now A torso of eternal grace art thou !" T;le concluding line, concentrating- as it does in its most quintessential forum the whole truth about Keats' genius, is singularly- felicitous ; the sonnet itself realises the ideal formed by Keats himself of this class of composition, " swelling loudly Up to its climax:, and then dying proudly." In the ver3es whin)). immediately succeed, upon "Amelia; a Beloved Memory," there is a deep and genuine pathos, which passes fresh from the soul of the poet into the soul of the reader : " beautiful ex ceedingly" is this recollection of " The smile of innocence and joy, The smile (34' bright, seraphic rest, Which hallo w'd, like a saint, the form That died. upon my breast. L gleams upon my mem'ry still, It wafts me. back to years of old, It glimmers on the darken'd Past Like moanbeams on the wold." Very beautiful, too, is this pure and delicate tracery of a virtuous and gentle character : "Thy sorrow fc.r fictitious woe, Thy sympathy for true distress, Thy tears of charity divine— The tears that Gvd will bless— Thy noble and unselfish mind, Thy spotless and celestial youth, Resembling in angelic dreams The radian/ grace of Ruth. Such recollections stream along The channels. worn by floods of grief And, oh! they pour upon my soul A sad and born relief. They bring t:e back to peaceful scenes, To scenes an d things to you so dear, And, at the potent touch of truth, What buric?d thoughts appear! Thoughts of thy bright, poetic taste, Thy seer-like child-like love of hooks — A love that shone within thine eyes, And liv'd within thy looks." Unless we are mists ken, in allowing ourselves to be influenced by a very natural and indeed almost un avoidable feeling, the re must be great depth, delicacy, and purity in the character of a writer who can so admirably appreciate avid pourtray these qualities in another. The following passages from a poem called "An Elegy on the Old Year" are tinged with the same tender melancholy, and are steeped besides in that idyllic richness of expression which we have already noted as an attribute of Mr. Kent's style Weeds grow where I Jook'd for roses—weeds, weeds! And the g'avc-mounds of the dead up-ripple the smooth meads; . Where rich grapes were lately peeping, Knots of ivy boughs are creeping: Thus with me, alas! Old Year, thy deeds smiles have chang'd to weeping. Fair sho was with youth and beauty—fair, fairl Lip of vermeil, deep as sunset, molten gold her hair; One she stood amidst a crowd, She—withal sa nobly brow'd, So pure, so mild—Old Year, thou hadst no love nor care, Fur she is in her shroud." The lines printed in italics need no comment to re commend them to tlw lovers of rich and picturesque imagery. As a specimen of our author's style, we extract the whole of the graceful little poem called FEFINR IN THE CORN FIELD. " Feline dearly loves her lover, Loves him as the lark the morn; Yet her love she'll ne'er discover;-- Reaping down the ripened corn. He is timid of her beauty, Timid as the fawn of eves, .And his passion screens with duty;— Swathing round the rustled sheaves. She allows her thoughts to slumber As at midnight bleep the flocks, While his sighs her sighs outnumber; — Propping up the yellow shocks. What though he beside her tremble, (Sunbeams weave a checquered shade!) She 'will yet her love dissemble; — Gleaning each forgotten blade. For he has not told the glory Of his loving hopes and fears; And she hides her heart's fond story;— Toying with the wheaten ears. 'Neath his gaze her pale cheek flushes, Yet her love is still conceal'd, While the last autumnal thrushes Warble near the stubble field. Feline speaks not, yet her glances Tell of love in every look, And while bohlly he advances Downward drops his reaping hook. Lo! his pent emotion gushes Blindly forth in burning words; While in ansver she but blushes—. 'Round them softly chaunt the birds. Palm to palm their fingers mingle— He so fervid, sire so chaste; Thro' his arm warm pulses tingle Circling 'round her supple waist. All her grace of art he copies, Bonding o'er her form so fair, Twining scarlet leaves of poppies In her auburn gloom of hair. Fefine dearly loves her lover, Loves him tia the lark the morn, Now that both their love discover— Breathing 'mid the golden corn." The exquisitely tender lines on a " Mother's Love" contain passages of a very high order of beauty ; our citations must be limited to the following stanzas on a topic abundantly fatniliar, but which has very rarely been more gracefully handled :--- "Days of my boyhoodl wherefore did ye seem So glad, and bright, and gloriow, and fair; Why did ye flit-in such a joyous dream, Giving a bluer beauty to the air: Did the green river sp arkie clearer then, Were the rimm'd daiaies whiter in those hours; Came there a blither whistle from the wren, Or sweeter perfume fro.m the meadow flowers? I know not; but more softy stirr'd the leaves, The cowslips bloom'd more golden in the grass, Poppies tooled deeper scarlet in the sheaves, And thyme smelt sweeter in its russet mass; A richer ripeness gloom'd upon the fruit, A pearlier dew hung glimmering on the sprays; A darker purple deck'd Each violet's shoot, And fraught with charms appear'd those mystic days." Of all the minor pieces, ,however, in this volume, the most remarkable is " Phillippo, the Dream -Haunted," a poem founded on " an old legend of a young man in Languedoc, who, seeing an unknown lady in a dream, pined away and died for the love of her, despairing." In this Idyll (for such in truth it is) the shadowy tenderness, the vague longing, the chill disenchant ment of a poet's love-dream are given with high artistic power; it seems as though the teller of the tale had drawn his inspiration from the waters of Lethe, and, in the language of Keats " made his rosary of yew berries," arid " suffered his pale fore head to be kissed by nightshade, ruby grape of Pro serpine." The reader finds himself in a climate of mild and monotonous langour ; a visionary haze wraps all objects in the hues of the unreal; only at intervals the leaden air is streaked with some fever flashes of a passion whose anguish soon merges into despondency. How Phillippo, in the words of his poet, " dies for the death of his delicious dream and melts into oblivion" can only be learnt aright from the poem itself. The following extract will give some notion of the voluptuous richness of the imagery which adorns it " Then from night's solace I arose, and drain'd The healthful coolness nature breathes at morn, While my light step along th' elastic sod Mov'd with elated pressure; when the dew In sparkles glitter'd on the spider's web, The fairy cordage of its network strung From thorn to bramble, like most delicate lace Powdered with diamonds; when the skyward lark Shrilled thro' the vapour,: faint and fainter, till it s canticles of love were heard alone By the Invi,ible; while tears of dawn Hung pendant on the pendant cherries, each A ruby with a twinkling crystal drop From the " Burial of the Archbishop," a sombre and solemn dirge, rich with the gleam of censers, and resonant with funeral music, we take the following passage of imitative melody : " Echo all the crypts around, Even every crevice dim, With a sweet, but awful sound— borrovea agonizing hymn. Tuba mirum spargens sonum— 'Round the vaulted chambers ring, Per seputchra regionum— Where the silent dead we bring, Coget omnes ante thronum,— Sorrowfully murmuring." Space fails us for further extract, and we Must con tent ourselves, therefore, with merely pointing out to the reader's notice the two spirited and Tyrttean ballads "The Hungarian Patriot," and "Larnartine in February," the politics of which alone would com mend them to all readers of this journal, even if their poetry were less meritorious than in fact it is. Here then we • t a k e a re l uc t an t l eave o f M r . K en t, in the full confidence that we shall encounter him once again in that region of high art where he has already achieved so much and given promise of so much more. The rich redundancy of his manner requires occasionally a wise repression ; maturer taste will no doubt increase the correctness and concentration of his language; while it is certainly to be hoped that his next subject will be of more general interest and of more manageable proportions than the "Doom of Mytho logy." These, however, are all errors or judgment, for which time and experience supply the remedy. On the other hand, he possesses, in enviable though imperfectly developed vigour, some of the finest and rarest attributes of the poetic nature—wealth of words, grace of fancy, strength and variety of inventiveness. In these and their careful cultivation reside his future celebrity. He cannot, we think, fail, if lie be not wanting to himself. The sterile correctness which commences its career without fault is certain to con clude it without glory. Its highest praise is a kind of blameless impotence. The exuberant life and vigorous manhood of Mr. Kent have undoubtedly led him into some few faults of excess—excess of orna ment, excess of epithet, occasional excess of thought; but what Dryden says of the desire of glory may truly be affirmed of the occasional outbreak of a rich and generous nature, it is " a godlike sin" and worth a whole boarding-school of the tamer virtues. With such opinions of the position already won by Mr. Kent, and with such hopes for his future achievement, we heartily commend his book to our readers, and himself to " those fresh fields and pastures new" which few indeed of his cotemporaries are better fitted to traverse with honour. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Monday the 29th, the Member returned for London was called to the table, and asked by the Speaker, why he demanded to be sworn on the Old Testament; to which he replied, that it was because that WAS the form of swearing that ho declared to be most binding on his conscience. On which he was directed to withdraw. Much skirmishing then ensued upon a motion, that the Member be asked what Oath he claims to take, whether the Roman Catholic or the Protestant Oath. On which nobody succeeded in making plain, or even in asking, whether the question meant, which of the two Oaths he pre terred to take in substance but after his own form, which was on the Old Testament,—or which of them he preferred to take in the form in which he would take nothing. If it was the last, the House was desired to put itselt into the position of the Frenchman, who asked his chickens which of two sauces they preferred being eaten with. And on the cock's saying they did not want to Le eaten at all, the Frenchman cried " Question, question." If it was the other, then it was apprehended the enemy was ready with the assertion, that the Roman Catholic Oath was rigidly and carefully limited to Roman Ca tholics. All of which probably operated in preventing the point being pushed to an explanation. This motion being withdrawn, motion was made that the Member should be asked by the Speaker whether he was willing to be sworn to the Oaths required of a Member by Act of Parliament before he takes his seat. Which being a manifest attempt to obtain an answer in an adverse form, was opposed and negatived by 118 to 104. Motion was then made that the House refuses to alter the form of taking the Oaths. To which Amendment was moved, that the Clerk be directed to swear the Member for London on the Old Testament. And after an ad journment to five P.M. the original motion was negatived without a diviAion ' and the Amendment carr i e d by 113 to 59; the motive for allowing the original motion to be thus disposed of, being apparently thy conviction that the lie. &utiobs promised by the Government would do the bus:n ss b:st. On Tuesday shortly after twelve at noon, the Member for London was again called to the table, and the Oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy administered to him on the 0:d Testament, the Member, at the instant of kissing the book, putting on his hat, which may be apprehended to be a trace of the Oriental feeling, by which an individual who should uncover his head in presence of his superior, would be thought guilty of as great a solecism as one of our ancestors who should have exposed his shaven poll by taking off his peruke in like circumstances. The third Oath, that of Abjuration, proceeded in the same manner till the Clerk came to the words " on the true frith of a Christian," when the Member said " I omit those words, as not being binding on my con science," and immediately putting on his hat, said " So help me God," and kissed the book. Upon which he wes directed by the Speaker to withdraw, a considerable number of the Members present crying out " No, no," and " Sit down." In the debate which ensued, the Member for Oxford " town" made one of the most luminous and able plead ings produced before any judges. The Attorney-General followed, and assigned his reasons for the unhappy opi nion put forward by the mouth of the Prime Minister on the previous day, declaring his inability to agree with the eufficiency of the Oath. Conscience is an intract able thing; but what conscience enforced the expression of this opinion before the case was hoard? It is plain that the Goverpuient not only discharged their con science, but fired it off considerably too soon for a con scientious hearing of the question. As bystanders are proverbially said sometimes to see more than those who play the game, the observation may bo hazarded by one in that position, that it might have been an improvement if on the Clerk's uttering " on the true faith of a Christian," the Member had said dis tinctly " on the true faith of a believer in the Old Tes tament," and then finished his oath. This would have added weight to the strong point of the defence, which was that the words were part of the form and not of the substance. It was stated in conversation, that it would not do to alter the words of the Oath. But a substitution of this kind is a smaller alteration of the words of the Oath than leav ing them out altogether. Besides which, it strengthens the claim for their being among the mutatis niutandis. Is further seemed to be an oversight in a leading ad- Tecate to volunteer the admission that his client " refused the words of the Oath." It might be for an adversary to urge, that he virtually refused. But the conce s sion should not have been made, and having been made should be recalled. The fact is that the Member did not refuse. He stated that he omitted them as irrelevant. And the way to recover the lust ground, would be that he should be brought up again, and on coming to the words, should substitute " on the true faith of a believer iu the Old Testament." This vt ould re -open the argument, that he has a right to change the form; which is exactly what the plea that " he has refute:]," is intended to preclude. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, AN OLD REFORMER. London, July 31, 1850. FALL OF A MILL AT STOCKPORT. DREADFUL LOSS OF LIFE. Yesterday afternoon, between one and two o'clock, a very serious and alarming accident occurred at a mill belonging to Mr. Cephas Howard, and rented by Mr. Joseph Heywood as a doubling mill, while the hands were at dinner. One of the main supports of the build.. ing gave way, and a great portion of it fell, burying 15 or 20 of the hands woo remained inside. Five people were conveyed to the infirmary, of whom one has died, and others are expected not to live. At present, none of those who were completely buried have been recovered, so that the names are not accurately known ; out we understand that, in addition to a number of girls who were dining at the mill, there were some machinists and workmen who were employ el there temporarily. It is a fine large fireproof mill, four storeys high; and it will have to be almost entirely rt buil'. A great portion of the machinery was all new, and has been entirely destroyed. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. - CHESTER, SATURDAY.- About a quarter before twelve o'clock last night the exten sive steam saw-mills belonging to Messrs. Dickin and Beards worth, situate near the Shrewsbury and Chester Canal offices, at the Canal-wharf, in this city, were discovered to be on lire. About one o'clock the flames had attained their greatest height the roof fell in with a terrific crash, and the fiery elements illuminated the city and surrounding district. In consequence of the wind blowing very strong at the time from the north-west, the pieces of burning wood were carried up in the air and fell on the houses of the residents in King rtreet, Northgatc-street, tve., to the great alarm of the inha bitants. There was a large quantity of timber in the yard adjoining the mill, but this was fortunately preserved by the rain falling heavily at the time, and the large quantity of water thrown on it by the engines. In a very short time atter the fire was discovered, the fire brigade, under the di rection of Mr. Hill, were on the spot. As they had abun dance of water close at band from the canal, they completely succeeded: in extinguishing the burning embers of the wood. The tire broke out in the first story of the mill, but whether it•was tho work of an incendiary or not we cannot at present learn; yet it appears somewhat strange, as there had been no tire lighted on the premises from twelve o'clock yesterday. The damage done is considerable, but the exact amount cannot be ascertained at present. The premises and stock are, it is sad, fully insured.
