ttb Ebitton SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. FRANCE. A quantity of papers written in cipher, and said to detail certain plans of the French refugees, have been seised in Path. Several warrants of arrest have been accordingly issued. Accounts from Montpellier state that an extensive manufactory of gunpowder for insurrectionary pur poses has been discovered in that town in consequence of an accidental explosion on the premises. The pro prietor has been arrested. At 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning the President left Evreux, having previously reviewed an immense number of National Guards collected together in its vicinity. The following is the account furnished of his progress alter his departure : K The Pre,,ident Ind hoped to pay a visit to the village of Navarre, so long the residence of the Em press Josephine, and wh,re her memory is still re vered. .11, was prevented by the necessity of adhering to his itinerary. " Ttie President passed by Berney and Lisieux, on his way to Caen. His reception at the former place was most satisfactory—the more remzrkable that it is considered the centre of democracy in Normandy. As his vi-it to that town was a deviation from his original plan, yielding only to the earnest entreaties of the Mayor and a part of the population, he was en abled to remain there only a few minutes. He was received with mina:,-d shouts of Vive Napoleon!' Vive le President !' and Vive la Republique !' " The President then resumed his route to Caen, and in a short time reached the village of llotellerie, which is the boundary between the departments of the Eare and Calvados. On this spot were erected two columns adorned with foliage, and surmounted with tricolour flags, on which was inscribed:in large letters the words Vive le President;' while on the vase was written, in equally large characters, The Department of Calvados to Louis Napoleon.' The population in a mass received him with loud ac clamations ; and the warmest and most earnest pro ceeded from the peasants and farmers who came from more than twenty miles round to Meet him. At this place the prefect of the Eure took leave of the Pre sident, and the Prefect of the Calvados took his place in the carriage. " At half-past three o'clock the President arrived at Lise..lx. The whole of the National Guards, the mayor, the municipalities of the town and the envi rons, the authorities of Lisieux, and a large concourse of people, were waiting for him at the entrance of the Rue de Paris, where an elegantly constructed trium phal arch had been erected, bearing the inscription of Vive Louis Napoleon' on one side, and on the other, Dieu protege la France.' So soon as the peal of bells and the salutes from the guns announced the arrival of the President, one loud and long continued shout, intermixed with but rare cries of • Vive la Repub lique,' was raised, and followed him on his way through the town. The President stopped for a minute at the Hotel de Villa, and then mounting his horse, with the Mayor of Lisieux on one side, the Prefect of the Calvados and the Minister of Justice on the other, and two orderly officers following him, he passed through the city between two lines of the National Guard of Lisieux and the environs. " The whole if the houses on his passage were adorned with flags and garlands, and bouquets of flowers were flung from the windows at his horses' feet as he passed. There was one battalion of the rural National Guard who carried flowers at the end of their muskets, out of compliment to the President. Tais battalion appea , ed the most enthusiastic. ‘• On his leaving Lisieux, the President moved ra pidly on to Caen. The National Guards and the country people crowdefl the streets long after he left, and continued to cry "%rive Napoleon.' " The President was expected at Caen at seven o'clock last evening."

The Magistrates said they should commit the pri soner to rake his trial at the next asbiz , s, and refused to accept bail. great object is to fortify them against the influence of old associations and o.d habits vvheu they are restored to the position of free agents. Oa this subject the Rev. John Dufton, in his excellent pamphletentitled "The Prison and the School, has the followidg re marks:— Mr. Edmonds—Then they must apply to a judge. That which was frequently deemed important there was not so esteemed elsewhere. He had known notes of the "Bank of Elegance" impose upon persons even in that court, but nobody dreamt of calling them for geries. s " Our confinement must be correctional rather than penal. To effect so deiirable a change Reformatory Schools should be established in every distr.ct, so that juvenile offenders may escape the contlmination of our gaols, and be trained to habits of in dustry an] virtue. Strict discipline is mare necessary in a corrective than in a preventive system, but strictness does not by any means imply se►erity. Habits of order and regularity are naturally irksome to those who have been accustomed to lieeentiousness and all the freedom of a wandering life: to them there is punishment, and that of some intensity, in submitting to rigid rule; but that this punishment should be corrective as well as putative, the improvement of the mind must be connected with the restriction of the person. The youthful offenders should be taught to fee not merely the wickedness, but also the fully of evil courses. Order and induAry, when continuously practised, will have greater attractions than irregularity and idleness. With juve nile offenders we have to contend not so much against depravity of disposition a 3 against evil habits; these habits have been formed by training in vice; they can only be counteracted by a careful training in vii toe. " A very large proportion of commitments consists of persons between the ages of fifteen and twenty, that is of persons who have for the first time an op portunity of exhibiting the pernicioni results of the mis-education to which they have been abandoned by the neglect of the State. The State, thus meeting whst may in the great majority of cases be fairly attributed to its own improvidence, is fairly bound to strive that new habits should be superinduced by its care in place of the old and depraved habits which the State allowed to be formed. This would not only be in accordance with strict justice, bat with sound economy. The industry of young offenders being made to defray, at least in part, the expenses of their own support, the charge on the counties for their maintenance would be considerably reduced, and thus the training in virtue would be obviously cheaper than the present abandonment of these wretched "beings to the chanced, or rather the certainty, of the influence of vicious counsel and vicions ex ample from the adult occupants of our gaols. A certain part of the earnings of the prisoners might be set apart, to be given them when the period of their sentence has expired in order that want may not tempt them to crime on their liberation, but that they may have an opportunity of seeking work and rein stating themselves in society. Experiments of this kind have been tried with the best effects in the Refor matory and Industrial School of Detention established near Tours, in France, at Auburn, near Philadelphia. and the Reformatory Prisons of Pentonville and Park hurst, in our own country." Such institutions would, to a considerable extent, be self-sUpporting; and if they were not, experience has shown that the cost of those which owe their origin to philanthropic effect, and to which, of course, as the law now stands, parties can be admitted only after undergoing a sentence of imprisonment, has been more than repaid in the diminution of the number of re - committals, and the consequent saving effected in the cost of maintenance and fresh prosecu tions ; thus proving that in the case of juvenile de linquents reformation is not only the best, but also the cheapest policy. Although not bearing upon this point, we may re mark that it would probably be found advantageous that two or more magistrates in petty sessions should have the power not only of sending young vagrants to the asylum, but also of summarily committing in cases of a first offence where the prisoner was under a certain age, and the property stolen was of' a trifling I amount. The witnesses were then bound over and the pri. soner was removed. THE CRIMINAL LAW AS APPLIED TO JUVENILE OFFENDERS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) It is not always to questions upon a right under standing of which the well-being of society very largely depends, that the public attention is most earnestly directed. Were the contrary the case, thoughtful men would not so often as at present have to deplore the existence of dangerous evils with which isolated power is incompetent to grapple, and for the removal of which no organized effort is made on an extensive scale. This is no doubt to be accounted for in great part by the indispo sition which vast numbers of persons feel to trouble themselves about matters which hsve no immediate bearing upon their own interests; and by the strength of preconceived notions in others resisting the force of arguments and reasonings which are at variance with long-established opinions. By both these adverse influences has the great work of reform in our prison discipline and in the treatment of our criminals generally been hindered. The subject has never yet taken any large or firm hold on the public mind, and hence the probability of a practical solu tion of the momentous problems, which it involves being speedily arrived at is not very apparent, however strenuously its growing importance may be now and then urged by a few men, whose convictions and dis interested zeal in the cause of social improvement are not to be weakened by neglect. But in proportion to the general apathy should he the efforts of those who have the opportunity to endeavour to awaken public attention to this question, and, therefore, though it may not have assumed any new phase, it will not be amiss to reiterate some of the considerations arising out of it which have already been advanced. Our purpose at present is only to allude to one particular branch of the general inquiry to which we have ad verted in the few preceding remarks. First, then, it is admitted that the number of ju venile criminals, who chiefly have their origin in our large towns, is perfectly startling. It is also esta blished, on reliable authority, that if we investigate the antecedents of the adults who appear at the bar of our courts ofjustice, the commencement of their vicious courses dates from an earlier period of life—that habits of theft are rarely formed after the age of 20 years— so true is it that in this, as in other cases, " the child is father to the man." Here, then, as we shall en deavour to show, a course of action, in dealing with offenders against the laws, is so clear, as scarcely, ac cording to our perceptions of the matter, to admit of doubt or hesitation. To frame laws to meet the requirements of indi vidual cases is altogether impossible, and all that can be done is to base them upon such principles as admit of general application; but we hold that before any sound principles in criminal jurispru dence can by possibility be arrived at, the most prevailing and prolific sources of criminality must be traced out and attentively considered. Hitherto, they have not been eliminated with sufficient clearness. It has been too much the habit to look upon juvenile theft as the result of depravity of heart. The opera tion of the ragged schools has done something to dis sipate such impressions, and had the results of th ose institutions been limited to this alone, they would have effected a great good which could not have been so readily attained by any other means. We have seen that habits of crime are rarely formed in manhood, but are in the great majority of cases to be referred to an earlier period of life. To what remote or proximate causes, then, are they mainly owing? More than anything else to what may be termed the accidents of birth and situation— to the absence of parental or other necessary con- trol at the outset of life—to destitution and vagrant habits consequent on the want of moral and industrial training, and also to the direct instigation of wretches who sow the seeds of moral pestilence for the sake of the harvest of per sonal gain which they hope afterwards to reap. Many of the children in our large towns have not only to endure a lot of squalid filth and poverty, but are besides in a state of the most brutal and debasing ignorance which it is possible to conceive. Living in this de graded and benighted state, with no settled purpose or pursuits of any kind, and with the most scanty and un certain supplies of the necessaries of life, need we won der to be told that from among such the ranks of crime are being continually recruited ? Would not the wonder arise if the case were found to be otherwise ? Others, again, less ignorant, it may be, but equally deficient, from their previous position, in moral and industrial training, and without any settled means of livelihood, are thrown into the way of temptation, and succumb to the momentary pressure of its influence, but without any native propensity to follow a lawless career. Other kindred causes of juvenile criminality might be easily enumerated ; but, as we have said, we are now only briefly sketching some of the broader features of this painful subject, which—without entering into such minute shades of difference as to give it an almost endless variety of aspect without changing its inhe rent character—are essentially applicable to our present purpose. The point which we would suggest for considera tion is this :—ls the present mode of dealing with the numerous classes of offenders which we have just adverted to the best adapted for the • interest of society ? Or is it not rather a blind and indiscrimi nate mode of tampering with the outward symptoms of moral disease without reference to their cause P We think there are substantial grounds for arriv ing at the latter conclusion. We have no wish to see criminals of any description become the objects of maw kish humanity or sickly sentiment; but it does not follow that all efforts which can be made to reform as well as punish youthful criminals must be open to such objections. There cannot be a doubt that our present penal system, in far too many cases, not only fails to attain its direct object, but is positively mischievous in fostering the very principles which it is intended to correct. With the young, especially, the discipline should be reformatory as well as punitive. It would be idle to insist formally upon their susceptibility to good or bad impressions or upon the inveteracy of early habits. Commit them to a gaol, and you expose them to contamination of the moat dangerous character. Though not in all, they are In numerous, instances brought into contact with callous and depraved wretches whose example and influence tend only to sear the conscience and to stimulate to still higher attainments in vice and crime. By way of illustration, we may observe that Baron Alderson, in his answers to the questions pro pounded to the judges by the Select Committee of the House of Lords appointed to inquire into the opera tion of the criminal law, mentions a case tried before him, in which a robbery was planned "in cne of what is called our best•regulated gaols , the instru ment being a boy, and th e principal adult thieves." It has been observed that crime has its emulation as well as virtue; and that the young delinquent thrown loose among a herd of criminals aspires to the pre-eminence of the burglar, the robber, or the murderer. But this consideration, important as it is, is not the only one which demands at tention. Even if contamination be avoided, the prisoner, in the generality of cases, has undergone no training which will counteract the influences of his original position and convert him into a useful member of society. What wonder, then, that he again finds his way to the bar of justice with augmented guilt? If for these reasons it is highly impolitic to commit young offenders to prison, such committals are also cruel and unjust in instances where the parties have, in the ways already hinted al Here then, we Think, a tolerably clear course of action is opened up.

BIRMINGHAM, THUItz , DAY.- This morning James Hill, charged with forgeries upon the Austrian Ba• k to the ameunt of 15,000/:, wa4 brought up before Mr. T. Beale and Mr. H. Luccock for final examination. Mr. T. H. Gem, who appeared as solicitor for the prosecution, said the case had already undergone con siderable inquiry before the court, but bad been ad journed in consequence of the absence of material witnesses expected from Vienna. Those witnesses bad now arrived, and, after hearing the additional evich nee which he should lay before the court, he en tertained no doubt that the bench would feel it their duty to commit the prisoner fur trial. rr ltodolph Kopp Frlsenthal, Chief Ct mmis sioner of Police at Vienna (examined through an interpreter), deposed that he was conversant with the nature of the notes produced. The one with a hole in it was a genuine note of the Mink of Au,trin for 100 florins, or about 101. in English money. It was payeble by the Imperial Royal Central Exche• quer of Austria, or by any of the branch public treasuries of that kingdom. The other note pro duced was an imitation of the genuine Austrian note, and required the stamp of the imperial eagle to make it perfect. It was calculated to deceive any person who did not bestow more than ordinary attention upon its appearance. Witness produced two genuine notes, which he had obtained from the Royal Exche quer of Austria. They were signed by the name of the satne person (the chief cashier) as those alleged to be forgeries. been led into dishonest courses, without evincing wha, may be denominated direct criminality of character and disposition. Herr A. Moser (examined through an interpreter) being sworn, stated that he was in the office of the Minister of Finance at Vienna. He knew the signa ture of the chief cashier attached to the genuine notes produced. The signatures were printed with the body of the notes, and afterwards the imperial eagle was stamp e d upon them. The alleged forgeries were imitations of the Austrian note, and calculated to deceive, The question here naturally recurs, in what way can the treatment of juvenile criminals be improved so as most effectually to prevent their relapsing into guilt after a first conviction, and maintaining the cur rent of adult crime ? We think by society in its col• lective capacity doing that which has hitherto been left to the operations of spontaneous benevolence, by the establishment in every county of places of confine ment and instruction suited to their age, condition, Cross-examined by Mr. Edmonds —The imperial eagle was stamped upon all the notes issued out of the Austrian Exchequer. On the notes said to be forged no eagle had been stamped, although an engraved punch with the eagle t pon it had been ordered by the prisoner and completed. Mr.*Edmonds—Would the note be taken in Austria without the eagle being stamped on the face of it ? Witnfts—l have known it taken without the impres sion of the eagle. Mr. Edmends—Do you know that of your "own knowledge ? Have you ever seen any person so take it in an incomplete state ? Witness—l have not seen it taken, but I am in the office to which notes which have been issued are returned, and I have seen notes come back without the impression of the eagle upon them. and circumstances. Such places, as recommended in a recent report of the Staffordshire magistrates, should be asylums in the the nature of industrial schools; and to them all offenders under a certain age—say 15 or 16 years—should on conviction be invariably sent for longer periods than the usual terms of im prisonment. " Without this," as the same magis trates remark-," there is reason to fear that good impressions produced, and good resolutions formed, will frequently not be permanent. The temp tations and inducements to a relapse into dis honesty will be too powerful, and the best efforts in great part unavailing, while, as a necessary conbtquence, the growth of juvenile crime will remain „little checked, and a large portion of the expenditure incurred in the attempt to reform them will be comparatively useless." We would not, how ever, as the report recothinended, make such confine ment in any way supplementary to ordinary impri sonment in gaol. For the reasons already assigned, we would keep prisoners of the age in question, both before and after trial, altogether clear of the :dme's gaol as a place unlikely, in any state of things, to be productive of beneficial effects. The discipline of the asylums should be severe; but pates nal in its character, and should include both religious and industrial training, with a view to putting the in mates into some settled way of livelihood, and guarding them agaioit the assaults of casual temptation. The Mr. Edmonds—Look at the reverse side of the note said to be a forgery, and tell me if it is not, very different from the note said to be genuine T_ Witness —The printing is certainly different. Mr. Gem said that was all the evidence he should then offer - on•the part (.f the prosecution, and upon which he asked the magistrates to commit the prisoner for trial. Mr. Edmonds hoped the magistrates would accept :1 , Mr. Gem urged the importance of the case as a rtason why the Court should refuse bail. THE; SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1850 , POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Yesterday, Edward Matthew Macklin, who was charged at this court, on Saturday last, with obtain ing a quantity of silk and satin goods, of foreign ma nuracture, to the value of 6001., under fraudulent re • presentations, was again placed at the bar before Al derman Challis, for further examination, relative to the same charge. Mr. Gant appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Drew for the defence. Mr. Parry attended on behalf of Mr. Sowerby the pawnbroker (with whom goods had been deposited by the prisoner, and on which Mr. Sowerby had ad vanced upwards of 2601.) He stated that he wished to put the alderman right, as well as the public with regard to Mr. Sowerby having any intention of throwing any impediment in the way of the prosecu tion against the prisoner, or defeating the ends of justice. He was instructed by Mr. Sowerby to in form the alderman that he was perfectly willing, as far as the goods in the present case were concerned, to render every facility for the purpose of furthering the interests of justice. A report had appeared in the public papers that Mr. Sowerby seemed indis posed to afford any assistance in obtaining a convic tion in this case on account of the loss he would pro bably sustain in having to give the goods up to the prosecutor. Mr. Sowerby was perfectly willing to produce all or any goods required, either at this court or at the Old Bliley, in the event of the prisoner being sent for trial. Alderman CHALLIS said that, on the previous ex amination, which took place on Saturday last, he certainly was impressed with the idea that Mr. So werby had no inclination to attend to the require ments of this court. The explanation given by Mr. Parry had entirely removed the impression that he Lad erroneously conceived. The following was the additional evidence taken yesterday : Henry John Nicoll examined—l am a tailor car rying on business in Regent-street, and in partner ship with Mr. D. Nicoll (the present sheriff). I never gave prisoner an order for six pieces of silk serge on the 13th of last July. There is no person in our establishmeut competent to give orders with out my sanction. No goods consisting of silk serge were left at our house on the 13:h of July, or any subsequent day, by the prisoner. I had no appoint ment with him whatever on the 3d of August, neither have I ever seen him before to my knowledge. Robert Rawcliffe, 26, Cbarlotte-street, Fitzroy square, tailor—l have known prisoner for the last six years. The last time I saw him was about six months ago. I did not order three pieces of silk serge and one of satin on the 13 hof July. I did not order goods of prisoner of any description whatever on that day. The last time I had any business transaction with prisoner was about three years ago. He bought some articles of clothing of me. I never purchased goods of any kind from prisoner. George Sanders, of the firm of Eyre and Sanders, Tottenham-court-road, drapers-1 have known pri soner about six or seven years. I saw him about three or four months ago. I have been in the habit of purchasing goods of the prisoner, but I have not bought any of those in question, neither has any part of them been left at our establishment on approval or otherwise. All goods purchased by our firm pass through my hands, and, had any order been given to the prisoner by my partner (who is out of town), I must have seen either the goods or the invoice thereof. It is customary to send an invoice with all goods submitted for approval. Edward Grays, assistant to Mr. Sowerby, pawn broker, produced the goods pawned by the prisoner and in his name. He also produced two pieces of silk serge, which were identified as the property of the prosecutor. Mr. Gant said he had gone as far as he could with the one case, and he would next proceed with that in which the prisoner obtained certain goods, as he stated, according to order, from a Mr. Bell, of Bury street, St. Jam es ' s . E. H. Davies—On the 2d of July prisoner had two pieces of satin, one pieces of serge, and one piece of satin dechene, to leave with Mr. Bell on approval. 1 let him have the goods in consequence of my having been led to believe that it was to execute an order from Mr. Bell. They are valued about 801., and I have not seen them since. I never gave prisoner directions to pledge the goods for me under any cir cumstances. The order I produce is in the prisoner's handwriting. George Bell proved that he had neither ordered nor received any goods from the prisoner. Edward Grays—l produce the goods mentioned in the memorandum. They were pledged by the prisoner at Mr. Sowerby's for 48/. Mr. Davies identified these goods, and Alderman CHALLIS said he should remand the case for a week, in order to give the prosecutor time to complete the various cases that he intended to prose cute the prisoner on. The prisoner was then remanded for a week. MARLBOROUGH,STRE.ET. TICKETING SHOP3.—T wo respectably dressed young women applied to Mr. Bingham for assistance in the following case. They were passing through Oxford••street, when they where attracted to the window of a linendraper's shop where piles of dresses were ticketed up one shilling each. Mr. BINGIIAM—" One shilling" very large and conspicuous, and I suppose " elevenpence halfpenny" small, and almost invisible in one corner. Tnis is the third or fourth case of the same kind which has been made known at this ;court during the last day or two. Where is this shop ? Applicant—At No. 16, Oxfordestreet. " Read and Co." is over the door. On the ticket, which my friend and myself looked at carefully, there was only one shilling marked. I a••ked the man at the door what the price was, and he said a shilling. One of the dresses had no mark on it, and I asked him the price of it. He said one shilling —all the lot was at the same price. I said I would take one out of curiosity, and I went into the shop and chose the one without a mark, and put down a shilling. The person who served me threw the money into the till, and demanded is. lid. more, as he said the price of the dress was 2s. 11d. I said I would not take it at that price, and requested to have my money returned. The man, in a sneering way, told me to get it back if I could. I said if I could not get back the money I would not return the dress. The man then seized the parcel which he had given me, and by main force deprived me of it. I came away with the intention of applying for redress at this Court. Mr. BINGHAM was afraid the only redress the ap plicant could obtain would be at the County Court. He should give her the same advice he had given to other sufferers—to take out a summons against the shopkeeper, and no doubt the judge would give her compensation for loss of time and other damage. The applicant said she could not spare the time. She certainly thought it strange there was no law to punish what appeared to be acts of violence and rob bery like these. The applicants then left the court. SOUTHWARK. THE LATE HIGHWAY ROBBERY AT BANESIDE.— Yesterday, Robert Archer, alias Messenger, and Francis Davis, two well-dressed young men, were brought before Mr. Beadon, for further examination, charged with being concerned with another not in custody in assaulting Alfred Greenland, clerk to Messrs. Sanders and Co., wholesale cheesemongers, Collingwood-street, Blackfriars-road, and robbing him of a bag containing upwards of 3751. in Bank of England notes and gold and silver. The facts of this case have already appeared in the columns of The Sun. Mr. BEADON said it was a very desperate highway robbery, and he had made up his mind to commit the prisoners for trial ; but he should remand them to enable the officer to apprehend the other man. The prisoners were accordingly remanded for a week. CLERKENWELL. Yesterday, Jane Wright, a young woman, was charged with having attempted to poison herself. The prisoner was charged at this court on Tuesday last with having attempted to cut her throat, when, under a promise to return home with her mother, she was discharged. O n W e d nes d ay even i ng she l eft her mother's residence, No. 13, Northampton-row, Clerk enwell, and purchased a quantity of laudanum, when she entered the shop of a Mrs. Jones, of No. 17, Lock's-gardens, Clerkenwell, and requested a glass of water, into which she put the poison and she swal owed it, and said, "Go and tell my mother that I have poisoned myself." A surgeon was sent for, and she was restored to her senses, when she was given into the custody of 172 G, who took her to the station house, and on her way she expressed her determina tion to put an end to her existence some time or other. 172 G confirmed the evidence. The prisoner's mother said that the prisoner had been disappointed in a " love affair," which had af fected her mind. The prisoner hung her head and said nothing. Mr. TYRWIIITT said for her own security he would commit her for one week to the House of Correction. James Hill was placed a+ the bar before Mr. Tyr whitt, charged by Mr. Williams, wholesale • brush manufacturer, of No. 11, Charing-croEs, with a rob bery, the discovery of which took place under the following extraordinary circumstances:— It appeared from the evidence of John Porter, No. 101 G, an active officer, that he saw the prisoner walking near Field-lane, Saffron-hill, with a bag, and hearing something rattle in it, and suspecting it to contain stolen pewter pots, he questioned him and, answering evasively, h e t oo k hi m to the station-, house. On searching the bag he found a cash-box contain ing bills and cheques for 1001., 841., and 481, and other property, which were traced to be the property of the prosecutor. The cash-box was left in the counting-house, and was found in the prisoner's pos session Within 4 1 1 bout §ftel it WAS missed. The prismer said he was a journeyman tailor out of work, and he found the property in the street.— Remanded. LAMBETH: A RELIGIOUS ENTHUSIAST. —Yesterday a young woman, in an " inky cloak" and other habiliments of woe," having no fixed residence, and following no occupation, was charged with creating a disturbance and annoying the congregation in St. George's Roman C itholic Cathedral, St. George's-road. Susan Miler, of 13, Melina•place, Westminster. road, depised that prisoner had on many occasions insulted and annoyed the congregation. She had for a considerable time received alms from the Rev. Mr. Cotter, but directly he withheld the supplies she had written a number_of impertinent letters to that gentle man. Anne Reynolls said that upon one occasion, when she told prisoner that she was not a fit person to come into the holy temple of God, she spat in her face, took off one of h,-tr shoes, and threatened to .‘ smite her lustily" with it. Jane Ellis, 63, Tower-street, stated that the priso ner the night before went up to the altar in St. George's Church and threw a Bible at her, and de clared she would lie in ambush for her until such time as she should have an opportunity of immolating her on the altar of an offended Deity. Prisoner in her defence, sail—Sir, I have been summoned here this day before, God and your Wor shp. The only clothes I have in the world are those I now stand in. I have been born, bred, end reared a good and devout Roman Catholic; but they won't let we say my prayers in the church as I ought to say them. The temple of God is open to the poor as well as the rich. I leave the case in the hands of God and your Worship. She was ordered to find two sureties in 51. each for her keeping the peace, for fourteen days. WORSHIP-STREET. AN ARTFUL YOUNG THIEF.—Mary Ann Archer, a neatly-dressed girl, of diminutive stature, who stated herself to be only eleven years of age, although she had an older look, was placed at the bar upon two charges of robbery. Mrs. Harriet Thetford, of 27, Nelson. street, City road, stated that on Saturday se'nnight she hired the prisoner as a servant, but not to sleep in the house, and took her without character from motives of charity, as she appeared to be destitute. On Sunday, however, the prisoner, being sent out with money to purchase some thing, never returned, and it was then discovered that she had stolen four dresses, a silk visite, a pair of stays, a shawl, and pair of boots, &c. On Wednesday even ing complainant met her in Shepherdess walk, City road, and, laying hold of her, said, " You are the wicked girl who stole my things." The prisoner made no reply, and was taken to the police-station, where the stolen stays were found upon her, and it was ascertained that she had sold two of the dresses, the visite, &c., for ls. 6d., at a rag shop in Suffolk street. Mrs. Mary Tapley, of White Lion-street, Penton ville, preferred another charge of robbery against the prisoner, who bad been taken into her service in a similar way on 'Wednesday se'nnight. She remained there until the Saturday evening, when she was sent out to procure change for a half-sovereign, with which she absconded, and on the following day (Sunday) it was discovered that she had stolen a Bible and Prayer• book out of a closet. The Bible was now produced, the prisoner having sold it for 2d. at the rag-shop be fore mentioned. The magistrate was informed that the prisoner, when met with and given into custody on Wednes day, was carrying some butter, &c., and there was every reason to believe, from her appearance, she had again becom e a " servan t," b ut she refused to say where she lived, or to give any other information about herself. The prisoner being now questioned as to her place of abode, her parentage, and other matters, maintained an obstinate silence, and tho magistrate remanded her for a week, as it was considered probable that other charges would be brought against her. THAMES. CURIOUS CASE.—THE DIAN WITH Two WIVES AND THE WOMAN WITH FOUR HUSBANDS.—John Samuel Harris, a tall and respfctable•]ookiug man, aged 45, was broeght before the. Hon. G. C. Norton, on a warrant granted by the Assistant-Judge of the Middlesex Sessions, for the purpose of putting in bail to answer a bill of indictment, on which the grand jury have found a true bill, for assaulting his wife, Elizabeth Harris, of No. 38, Farmer -street, Shadwell, where she keeps a lodging house for sailors. The parties have for a series of years lei a very troubled life, and their domestic differences have been repeatedly settled by the magistrates. The prisoner has been repeatedly fined and bound over in sureties to keep the peace. Occasionally they have lived in harmony for a short time, until Harris has bmken out and beaten his wife again. They were before the tnagivrate a short time ago, and Harris was fined. He subsequently applied to the magistrate, because he was denied admisiion to his own house, and that Mrs. Harris said the furniture was not his, and the house was taken by another husband of her's,although his name was oa the list of voters as the occupier of the tenement. The Justice refused to interfere, and Harris de clared he would do something desperate; and subse quently committed such a violent assault on his wife that she was compelled to go before the grand jury. George Mountford, police -sergeant, No. 34 K, proved that Harris was the person named in the war rant of Mr. Sergeant Adams. The prisoner said this was a plan to get rid of him altogether, and that his wife had denied him marital rights, and would not allow him to come home. The prosacutrix denied she was the lawful wife of Harris, and said that after she was married to him she found out that he had a wife living at Woolwich, and got married to another man, and gave Harris money to go to sea. Harris said his wife had four husbands. The complainant —And you have got two wives. I am in danger of my life from this man. Mr. NORTON said he had nothing to do with the differences of the parties, and that he must call upon the prisoner to put in bail to answer the bill of in dictment at the sessions ; but finally, on Harris de claring his utter inability to find sureties, consented to take his own recognisance to appear and take his trial. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. BRISTOL, SEP. s.—With remarkably fine weather for the completion of harvest, and with only very moderate supplies of both English and foreign wheat, the prices, and also of flour, have been firmly maintained through out the ;seek.

BIRMINGHAM, SEPT. s.—At Gloucester and Wor cester markets on the 3d, good wheat of all descriptions was in demand, and rather higher. Barley held fir some advance. On oats the turn was in favour of the seller, Beans and peas firm, but unaltered in value. During the present week, the weather having continued very fine, we have had no life in the trade; but the wheat which has changed hands realised previous cur rency. Barley less in request. Little doing in r ats, and lower prices have been submitted to for secondary qualities. Beans and peas are taken slowly, at previous rates. At this day's market there was a 'air supply of wheat, and there was an improved sale for both new and old; but we make no alteration in cur quotations of any description. Grinding barley 6J per quarter dearer. Oats nearly as much cheaper. Beans rather higher. Peas more in request, LOUGHBOROUGH, SEPT. s.—.

DERBY SMITHFIELD MARKET, SEPT. 3. The sup ply of fat beasts to-day was but small the season of the year considered ; the value of all kinds of Lit stock for the last four or five weeks (which is very unusual in and about the month of August) has been gra dually on the increase. There were but few sheep offered for sale, for which high prices were asked. The supply of lambs was good, but rather a heavy sale.
