FRANCE. In the Coristitutionnel M. Veron, the redacleur en chef, gives the following account of his inircduction to M. Louls Napoleon Bonaparte : " After the Revolution of February, nay colleagues, my friends, and myself had only one client—society. It was to defend it that the Constitutionnel carried on that rude war against anarchy and against So cialism ; supported the candidature of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, coincided in the message of the 31st Oc tober, and was the first to demand the revision of the Constitution with a prolongation of power for the actual President cf the Republic. I had never seen Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, before his arrival in Paris as representative, w hen I nceived the follow ing letter : " Sir, —Wishing to see near me all the distinguished persons of my country, I naturally felt a desire to make your acquaintance. Now that a mutual friend assures mu that you would accept an invitation to a friendly dinner, I eagerly avail myself of the oppor tunity of having some conversation with a man whom I have often heard spoken of, etc. (Signed) " LOUIS NAPOLEON B.' This first interview was for me an object of the most lively curiosity, I will say almost of emotion. The meeting was confidential ; I was certain not to find in Prince Louis Napoleon one of those ardent revolutionists, awakened by the coup de main of the 24th February, 1848, but the Prince had passed several years in exile. Ile had studied ques tions of political economy ; he had followed the labours of different Socialist schools ; he might show himself to be an impatient reformer, an im prudent and dangerous utopist. I was soon assured on this point. ' I think with the Constitutionnel,' said the Prince to me, that society must be replaced on eternal bases, that respect for the laws, for order, property, and family ties niust be revived in the hearts of all, before important novations and great measures of progress are thought of.' In the interviews at various periods which I have had the honour to have with the Prince, he neither sought to seduce me by the assured success of his cause, nor to attract me by promises. His simple and natural words overcharged neither his ideas nor his sentiments. He inspired con fidence because he neither sought to move you, nor to lead you away. Thus even in his every-day rela tions the Prince showed an impenetrable coldness, without, however, ceasing to be kind. That safety of discretion which he has for himself he has also for others; his oldest friends declare that no one batter deserves to have a secret confided to him. With the PresiLnt of the Rpublic these solid qualities are shown by a politeness always equal and always re served; in his :limners and his serious phy siognomy, might be recognised a reflective mind which isolates itself, and which sudden and unexpected grandeurs had neither surprised nor puffed up with pride. In politics, at the time of the election of the 10th December, two new virtues were invented—attitude and calm. It was said that Gene ral Cavaign2.c had the former, and Prince Louis Na poleon the latter. I have never seen General Cavaig nac in his official receptions nor in the tribune, where he obtained more than one success; I, therefore, cannot judge of the merit of his attitude. As to Prince Louis Napoleon, it is in him an equality of temper which no external inn pression, no movement of soul appears able to disturb. Calm is a statesmanlike quality which even his enemies cannot refuse him. Without here completing this portrait, which I have only sought to sketch by way of document, I will confess that I feel confidence in this elevate.], serious, and resolute character. When the Constitutioanel had to declare itself for one of the candidates for the Presidency of the Republic, . I would not, however, foltow the dictates of toy per sonal feelings, and I more particularly consulted Si.. Tniers on the subject. None of the articles which supported the candidateship of the Prince were in serted until they had been read and approved of by that eminent statesman." AFFAIRS OF CALIFORNIA. (Urono the Pacific News of August 1.) Since the sailing of the last steamer the condition of the overland emigration has taken the strongest hold of public attention. The immense crowd who are coming to California by the route of the plains is beyond the capacity of that regiun to sustain their teams ; and towards the latter end of the journey, when within about 300 miles of the Pacific side, about the sink of Mary's river, the teams have given out, and there will be an utter inability on the part of thousands to pass the Sierra Nevada, unless assisted from this side. This is already prepared to be done by private enterprise, and there is no probability of fatality from destitution before the end of the journey is reached. Another great object of public interest has been the great number of murders and assassinations which have lately taken place in the San Joaquin mines, most of which have been traced to the fo reignera of Spanish descent, and but one opinion is expressed—namely, that they shall and must quit the country, or abide, perhap=, extreme consequences. Meetings have been held to that effect, and some of the first citizens of the country are appointed to see the undertaking carried into effect. The foreign miners' tax has worked well, either compelling aliens to pay for their intrusion upon our treasures or compelling them to leave the placers for our daily-arriving felio..v-citizens. The mines are yielding largely at present, but there is more associated labour in the forming of dams, &c., than formerly, as isolated enterprise has not been so successful as heretofore. The gold region has scarcely been scratched yet, but the surface of the richest places has been:superficially dug;over, although not a tithe of the mineral deposit has bee❑ extracted. A settlement has been formed on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada, in the upper end of Carson Valley, by the M)rmons, and, from its agricultural capacities, is likely to flourish, although the gold on that side has riot been found in great abundance. A perma nent settlement there will be of great importance to futur e emigration, overland, as they will be within a short distance of that desert where all real danger is apprehended by the belated or exhausted emigrant. There has been no further news of collision between the American settlers and the Indians on the Trinity river. The mines there have not turned out well so far. (From the San Francisco herald of August 1.) The numerous murders in the southern mines have exasperated the - citizens of Tuolumne county to such a degree that, assembled in mass meeting, they have issued peremptory orders for all foreigners to leave the country forevith. Fifteen days is the limit allowed by this mandate lOr their preparation to depart. A committee of ei:izens has been appointed to determine what foreigners :.halt be permitted to remain, and all the Americans in the county have been called upon to lend their aid to carry the order into effect. Bands of foreigners are already leaving, and it is highly pro bable the expulsion will take place without any die turbaeace the four Mexicans that were found in the act of burning the Lodies of two Americans near Sonora have been acquitted of the charge of murder. The waters have fallen in the upper and lower mines, and already the miners are availing themselves of the advantages of the season for the prosecution of their operations. In most instances the average yield is greater than in aey former season, and there is every prospect that mere gold will be collected this milliner than ever befor,•. Several crushing machines are being put iu operation in the Mariposa and ether mines where the gold- bearing quartz is found in suf ficient quantify to repay the out Ly. Exploring par ties have found gold father up the slope of the Sierra Nevada than it has hitherto been sought fur. Parties are every day extending their explorations, and while the dry season lasts the miners seem determined to employ their time diligently. The law for the cs.)llec'.ion of taxes from foreign miners, although carried partially into execution in some of the counties, has generally Leen inoperative. The amount of revenue derived from it is very smal, and it has bad a very injurious effect iu the southern mines. A development has recently been made in the pro ba*.e Court of this county which has taken our ci , izjainns by surprise. Tne judge has been charged by c a p Folsom, one of our most ro•Tectable, citizens, W h o i s agent: fur the large Leidesdorfr estate, with having Sought a bribe for deciding in his favour a suit com menced by the public administrator, to gain posses sion of the estate in virtue of his office. The charge implicates the counsel of the public administrator, - Messrs. Dwinelle and Iforand, whose fees in the transaction were fixed at 5 COO dollars each. The ease Hill be brought before the District Court fur in vestigation. The most gratifying activity prevails in this city at prcst,nt. New builaingF, mostly of brick, are going up in every quarter, and the moat' extensive arrrange- . ments are being made, for the fail trade. It is ex pected that a very large amount of busine!,s will be transacted during the coming season, and tile pr(.pa rations for it are on a scale proportienate to it 4 antici pated extent. THE NICAIZAGUA ROUTE TO CALIFOitNIA. SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 23 —We understand that the Nicaraguan route to Ctlifornia was to be opened for traffic on and after the lsth of September. Grey town (the ci dewant San Juan de Mean-qua), the Atlantic port of the new route, cau b., reached direct in 26 days by the West Indian mail steamers from Southampton twice a month, and also by the Liver pool and New York steamers. We extract from the New York Herald the following description of the roue referred to : " The States of Central America are too little known, even to our own countrymen, who are daily becoming more immediately connected in unity of in terests, politically and commercially, with them, and with their prosperity. It appears almost self-evident that our population will soon prefer the route to Cali fornia by Nicaragua to that by Panama. Companies of men travelling to California will find the latter route much less advantageous than the former. The whole state of comparison between the two may be comprised in a few words. In passing from one ocean to the other, by the way of Panama, an econo mical person will have to pay, in the way of detention and other incidental expenses, about 75 dollars. By the Nicaraguan route, 15 dollars will suffice to trans port him across the country. Tolerable accommoda tions may be obtained for about nine dollars, and one may go across in a cart for seven dollars. When the steamers of the Nicaraguan Company are running, the passage will be made, through Nicaragua, in 23 hours, or in ten hours less than by Panama. Even were the advantages of speed greater over Panama, the sa lubrity of the climate by the Nicaraguan route must be deemed an advantage that Panama cannot possess. The Nicaragua route is, also, by many a mile, nearer to all th 3 ports of the United States and Calafornia, and this is an important advantage in shortening the passage. So much:interest will be taken in this new route that we will look at it more closely. The first point on the Atlantic is the port of San Juan del Norte. This is a neat town, having large houses, ca capable of containing from 30 to 50 persons, and we are informed that large companies can obtain these shelters for about a dime a day each .person. From San Juan to Grenada the river is ascended for about 90 miles to the lake, through which, to Granada, 90 miles more hare to be passed. On the lake, at nume rous points, provisions are abundant and very cheap, while fine hunting and game give charms' to the tra veller. At Granada, a city of 12,000 inhabitants, all the comforts of life are to be found. From this latter place to Realejo, on the Pacific, which may be reached by a good cart-road, there are a number of towns and cities. The scenery in this region is full of tro pical grandeur and loveliness, such as Humboldt has recently described with such vivid earnestness of colouring in his Cosmos. Beautiful valleys, magni ficent.mountains, extensive lakes, clear skies, luxuri ant vegetation, delicious air, and a healthful climate invite the traveller, and designate it as the country which will soon furnish the popular path to Califor nia. The railroad across Panama will thrive in the course of two or three years, and will carry over much freight, but the passenger traffic will be chiefly car ried on by the new steamers of the Nicaraguan route. THE COMMERCE OF LIBERIA. To the commercial men of our country, Liberia pr: Bents herself as a theatre of extensive and lucrative business operations. Palfn oil is produced by the nut of the palm-tree, which grows in the greatest abura , dance throughout Western Africa. The demand for it, both in Europe and America, is daily increasing, and there is no doubt it will, ere lung, beco:ne the most important article of trade. Camwood, red wood, bar wood, and other dye woods are found in great quantities in many parts of the country. About thirty miles east of Bassa Cove is the com mencement of a region, of unknown extent, where scarcely any tree is seen except the Camwood. This boundless forest of wealth, as yet untouched, is easily accessible to that settlement ; roads can be opened to it with little expense, and the neighbouri ng Ki ngs will readily give their co-operation to a measure so vastly beneficial to themselves. One Liverpool house imported 600 tons in a single year, worth about 50,000 dollars. Ivory is procurable at all points, and constitutes an important staple of commerce. It is supposed that from 150,000 to 200,000 dollars' worth is annually exported. Gums of different kinds enter largely into commercial transactions. The house re ferred to above imported, in three year, , , into Liver pool, of gum senegal, nearly 600,000 dis. Dyes of all shades and hues are abundant, and they have ly,:cn proved to resist both acids and light. Gold, which is found at various points of the coast—from the Gambia to the Bight of Benin, and probably to a much greater extent—is obtained by the natives by washing the sand which is brought down from the mountains by the rivers. Besides these may be specified wax, hides, horns, pepper, ginger, arrowroot, ground nuts, copper, mahogany, teak, and Gambia wood. Cotton of a very beautiful staple, yielding two crops a year, is indigenous, and thrives for twelve or fourteen years in succession without renewal of the plant. Coffee, of a quality superior to Java or Mocha, is raised in Liberia, and can be cultivated with great ease to any extent. It bears fruit from thirty to fourty years, and yields ten pounds to the shrub yearly. A single tree in the garden of Colonel Hicks (colonist), at Monrovia, is said to have yielded sixteen pounds at one gathering. Sugar cane grows in unrivalled luxuriance, and, as there are no frosts to be dreaded, can be brought to much greater perfection than in our southern states. Indigo, caoutchouc, tamarinds, limes, oranges, lemons, and many other articles which are brought from tropical countries to this, might be added to the list. Indeed there is nothing in the fer tile countries of the East or West Indies which may not be produced in Western Africa.—Colonization Herald. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, T ILJESDA Y.—Tne advices received by the America state that improved accounts from Liverpool and Manchester had given rather more life to a previously quiet market at New York. They also speak as unfavourably of the growing crop as did the last reports. Influeneed by these statements, the Liverpool market opened brskly yesterday morning, with the requirement cf an additional id. per lb ; but as the holders showed a disposition to be realising, a tameness ensued, and fully one half of the attempted gain was lost. But the ten dency of the raw material to rise in some degree has helped to bring forward again some of the buyers of export yarns, who were already prepared to operate from the actual want of supplies for their customers. Large orders have been received from the European continent, and the merchants have effected a fair amount of purchases. The India houses have also bought with some freedom in various numbers up to 60 1 s, to which they have been encouraged by the ims provement which is going in those articles at Calcutta. The consequence is a rise of 4 1. per lb. in bundles of almost all qualities, Rhether mule or water, and in some kinds id. The home consumers of low and medium counts, having a bad trade for their fabrics, are working up their stocks, and making only few and trifling purchases. The value of the yarns they use is, however, firmly maintained. Doubled yarns continua dull ; and the liner counts of single have not been much called fur, either by our own manu facturers, or by the Russian buyers, who'e term of shipment is nearly run out but the spinners are in posses:ion of ample contracts. In the de partment of goods there has been no response to the movement in cotton and yarns. The hz,me buyers want confidence to operate; and the mer chants receive discouraging accounts from must foreign markets. The letters which came to hand last night, from Calcutta, exhibit a serious loss upon shirtings and most other cloths. The Brazilian markets continue depressed ; and the malignant fever was re-appearing in Bahia and Rio de Janeiro. At Constantinople an unfavour able effect was produced upon prices by the report of a decline in Manchester ; and there were but few orders r eac hi ng t h e market from the in terior. With such advices, these several classes of buyers have stood decidedly aloof from business to day ; and, as stocks have now rather accumulated in the hands of the manufacturers, some degree of weakness, and a;great deal of irregularity, have shown themselves in prices. We understand that the stop page of looms, or the placing them on short time, is LOW extending in various districts; and the state of this day's market must cause a further adoption of that measure. We do not hear of the return to work of any of the self-acting spinners. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had considerable activity in the flannel market again to-day, and a fair business at former, prices. Tr.ere has been a rather better demand fur wool, and the manufactu rers have shown a greater disposition to buy than on the previous Monday. Prices are firm. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—There is evidently more doing this week, but our manufacturers still complain of unremunerating prices. In thrown silk there is also a good deal doing, but at prices inade quate to the present price of raves ; the mills, how ever, are bm a ee r in, e working f u ll ti me , i n consequence, we presum e , of f still orders band. fortliro r vn her s e i k ha from the in b c e o e n n t ia large business done in raves The this week, at f u ll p r i ces , and we under s t an d some ()fttie merchant s a r e now h o ld - ing for higher rates. overl an d di spatches from India and China ar e now in , and fully confirm the ac c o unts of short crop in the latter nd country, which is now declared will not be m ore t h an that of last sea son, viz., a deficiency of on e -f ourth as compared with former seasons ; but this scarcity may in some mea sure be counteracted through a considerable quantity having been sent by the overland route, and conse quently ;Ain arrive here two or three months earlier more raw by ship. By these means e shall have raw silk on cur markets here for a time, and less on the way.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY by MISTAKE The following singular adventure is related in the French journals :—A party of gentlemen met a few did s since for a day's shooting in the neighbourhood of Montereau. The house in which the sportsmen spent the night was situate half-way up a declivity overlooking the high road. At about two o'clock in the morning one of the inmates hearing a noise, raised a cry that their vehicle was being stolen. The party were soon astir, and hearing a noise of wheels as of a coach going off, seized their weapons and rushed out in pursuit of the thieves, whom they soon suc ceeded in coming up with, thanks to a cross cut. The first of the party on the spot immediately seized the horses' heads and stopped the carriage short. The people inside the carriage upon this immediately be gan to cry'' Thieves !"—adegreeof audacity at which our sportsmen grew exaeperuted, and cocking their guns they levelled them at the driver. The latter per :onage, together with the individuals inside the car riage, were seized with terror at this demonstration, and precipitating themselves from their seats, rushed off into a neighbouring coppice, where they were presently lost sight of. Congratulating them selves on the recovery of their carriage, the sports men returned with it in triumph dead beaten, but swelling with pride at their exploit. It was now determined the carriage should be safely secured in the coachhouse, but what was their surprise at finding the place already occupied by their own carriage, which the servant had placed there the night before without their knowledge. The cry of " thieves," which they had considered as the height of audacity on the part of the travellers, was now accounted fur, and the gentlemen thus interrupted in their journey were the bona fide owners of the carriage which they h,d been but too glad to abandon, in order to save their lives threatened by a band of armed ruffians. The affair was serious, and in order to avoid the accu sation of robbery on the Republic's highway, accom panied with violence and other aggravating circum stances, it was deemed expedient before retiring to rest to knock up the authorities and apprise them of the circutmtanccs on which they relied for their defence.

Yesterday Mr. IL Wakley held an inquest at the Robinson CruioP, Earl-street, Lisson•grove, on view of the body of Eleanor Drane, aged 57, a married woman, who was found dead. Mary White, the wife of a stonemason, living at 48, Devonshire-street, stated that deceased, whose husband was a carpenter and undertaker, separated from her, and allowed her a certain :um per week, occupied the front kitchen, and lived alone. About half-past seven o'clock on Monday morning witness had occasion to go down the kitchen stairs, when she taw &co Ised's room door open, and deceased lying on her beck on the floor, her bonnet and shawl on, her bands by her side, and her clothes above her knees. Thinking her asleep she shook her, but touch ing her face, and finding it to be quite cold, she raised an alarm, when a surgeon was sent for, who pro nounced her to have been dead some time. Any one might have access to the house at all hours, there being no fastening to the street door, which was con sequently always open. M-s. Mary Neale, a lodger in the parlour, de posed to deceased having her to retire to bed at ten o'clock on Sunday night, when she was in good health and spirits. On seeing her after being dis covered as stated by the last witness, in the morning, she saw that she had a cut over the left eye. Ann Butler, another lodger, stated that between ten and eleven o'clock on Sunday night she heard the footsteps of a man descend the kitchen-stairs, and then a scuffle, and having heard the footsteps after wards twice up and down the same stairs, all was quiet. Mr. Gardner, surgeon, Church-street, Portman market, said that on being called to attend deceased he found her to have been dead seven or eight hours. She was lying as a person would be laid out after death. Tnere was an abrasion over the left eye, which might have been inflicted by a blow or fall. On opening the body there was great congestion of the brain, and extravasation of blood immediately above the injury to the eye. The husband of the deceased, who was present, said he thought his wife had met her death by foul means. The jury observed that it was a doubtful and mys terious care, and returned an open verdict, " That &ceased died of congestion of the brain, but how such congestion was caused there was no evidence to show."

SUBURBAN VILLAGES.—A correspondent of the .Builder says—Being a working man, and moving amongst that class continually, I hear a great deal about the desira bility cf early trains on same of the lines of railway, that for a small sum would set a man down in London a few minutes before six in the morning, and in like manner remove him from this Babylon in the evening. I feel assure t that were this the case, suburban villages would grow up of themselves; and a great deal of the hard•earned money of our artizans, instead of finding its way into the doctor's pocket, would, it not "saved," at any rate serve a more satisfactory purpose in providing for increased appetites, and rearing a more healthy population. The speculation (as far as the railway is con cet ned) would probably not succeed at once, as it would take s ,me little time far a sufficient number of mechanics to " move," to ensure full trains but depend upon it an arrange ment of this kind would stun be taken advantage of. Pro bably a better "spec." would be for a few of our capitalists to secure a piece of landten or a dozen miles out, and build, says 800 or 1,000 houses, and lay down a single line of rails far the use of the new town only, with trains every hour r a e n r d i t b o y in t e h l e ud s‘ e a a n ti a ck t e o t w t i o i r i ~a i df reo e u tp aa s t s o f rein fi ve i n t i ne morning to ten at night.

A WEALTHY SAIUGGLER.—A man who gAve his /lame as Henry Hughes was charged at the police•otlice ye s _ terd;:y by a revenue officer with smuggling two bladders of whiskey, containing live-( ighths of a gallon. The prisoner had come over from DuUlin by the Duchess of Kent steamer, and the whiskey wa3 found concealed on his person. Th e man followed the profession of a hawker, and had 56/. in his pockets when eppreheuded. He was fined 40s. and costs.— Liverpool CoLirier. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. M ARLBORO UGH-STREET. William Watt was brought before Mr. Hardwick on the following charges. Joseph Kendall, cab proprietor, stated that he had known the prisoner for same time. Last July twelve month the prisoner called upon him, and said he had just obtained the situation of steward to the Earl of Stamford, Nc. 33, Hill-street. He also stated that he had great influence with railway companies, and would obtain for complainant the privilege of putting his cabs on at the railway stations. He then said that he was short of cash and would be glad of a small loan. Complainant, believing the prisoner to be a respectable man, and that his statement was true re specting his appointment as steward to Lord Stamford, advanced him some money then, and gave him more at various times, until the whole amounted to 131. The piisoner never had been in Lord Stanford's service. The case was remanded to Vv'estininster Court, as the offence had occurred in that district. The prisoner was further charged with having con spire.l, with a woman named Mary Ann Tolfrey, to defraud William Henry Richardson ef 50/. The woman Mary Ann Tolfrey has recently been convicted for obtaining money fraudulently from various persons under pretence of procuring for them Government situations through the influence of Lord Alfred Paget. The complainant said he had had 501. at command, and he consulted with the prisoner to know whether he could put confidence in Mary Ann Tolfrey, and pay her the 501. on her promise to get him a Govern ment appointment. The prisoner gave Mrs. Tolfrey an excellent character, and represented her to be a person of great influence among Government people. Complainant was ultimately induced to part with his 501, every farthing of which he had lost. Mr. Hann-erica did not think the confederacy be tween the prisoner and Mary Ann Tolfrey sufficiently established, and dismissed the charge. MAR Y LEBON E. In our paper of yesterday appeared the particulars of a charge against Mr. Shivers, jun., of Cheltenham, for having thrown a glass bottle from a carriage belonging to an excursion train, by which he was a passenger, and thereby wounded James Wise, a guard in the employ of the Great Western Railway Com pany, while he was standing close to the platform of the Farringdon station, on Tuesday last. Mr. Collard, Superintendent of the company's pot lice, and other witnesses, were examined, and as no evidence could be given as to whether the guard was in danger, the defendant, who admitted having thrown the bottle out of window, but without the slightest intention or idea of hurting any one, was bald to bail in the sum of HU (two sureties in 801. each) for his re-appearance at the court, Mr. Collard having, at the suggestion and under the direction of the ma gistrate, undertaken to go down immediately to the station at which the lamentable occurrence took place, in order to ascertain the precise condition of the man \Vise, and in respect thereto to obtain a surgeon's certificate. To-day the defendant attended, pursuant to the recognizances entered into for his being forthcoming. Mr. Charles, Tagart, solicitor, 47, Lincoln's Inn fields, was present on his behalf. In reply to the magistrate, Mr. Collard said that he had obtained a medical certificate from a surgeon named Keddle, residing at Bristol, as to the present condition of Wise. It was handed to the magistrate, and it set forth that Alfred Wise was 'suffering from a severe contused wound on the forehead, and that some weeks would certainly elapse ere a cure would be effected. Wise (the wounded man), who had been brought up by the train under the care of Mr. Collard, was put into the witness-box. Ile seemed very weak, and his left temple was strapped up with adhesive plaster. He made a brief statement, to the effect that he was struck by a bottle and knocked down, and that when he came to a state of consciousness he found himself in one of the rooms at the station ; he was subse quently carried to the house of a surgeon in Wan tage-road, by whom the wounds which had been in flicted upon him were dressed. Mr. Collard produced sundry pieces of glass which had been picked up at the spot, and his opinion was, judging from the pieces in question, that it was a pint potter bottle which was thrown from the window. The solicitor addressed the magistrate on the part of the defendant, and said that as the unfortunate oc currence was purely accidental, and that there was no danger whatever to be apprehended, he trusted that his Worship would permit the defendant (his client) to make compensation to the guard for any injury which he might have sustained. Mr. BROUGHTON said he could not consent to any thing like a compromise as suggested by the solicitor, inasmuch as the offence was one of a nature in which the public generally were materially interested. He had given due and attentive consideration to the case in all its bearings, and was of opinion that whet had arisen could not be looked upon as an accident, al though he believed at the same time that there was no into ntion of doing injury to any particular person. He had, however, the power to commit the defendant for trial. The magistrate, after some further remarks, en- larged the recognizelices until Wednesday next; and it was understood that in the event of the magistrates in the part of the country where the offence was committed holding ad interim their sittings, Mr. Col lard should give notice to the bail, in order to ensure the attendance of the accused. The defendant and his friends then left the court. SOUTHWARK. Cornelius Burrell, a young fellow, was charged with being a suspected person, and with loitering about the South-Eastern terminus, for the purpose of committing felony. A policeman stated that the prisoner with several others were in the habit of lurking about the incline of the railway, and were a source of great annoyance to the public, particularly on the arrival of trains, and that many robberies of females bad occurred, who entrusted their property to those fellows, and in many instances never saw it again. On the previous night twas shang h l i n a into custody, and locked him about the place, and he I t i he e prisoner policem taan). took him up. Mr. Coamu tt—For what ? Policeman—For lurk ing about there. Mr. Comaa—Did you see him commit any offence? Policeman—l did not see him, certainly, commit any offence, but I knew him to be a suspected character, anl he is liable to punishment for intruding on the company's ground. Mr. Coals—lS it the Open space leading from the the affirmative. policeman irplied in bridge Air. c t o o m t l in E e s t a e i r d i terminus?— v very doubted whether the policeman was at all justified in taking the pri soner into custody. It was true that a man had no right to walk in another's field, but then the owner of it would not be justified in taking the intruder before a magistrate. lie might proceed against bin fur a trespass, and all the prisoner was proved to have done was to walk about the place leading to the railway, which was open to every, body. If (added the Magis trate) you had proved to me that the prisoner had committed any offence while in the place you men tion, 1 should then have no hesiiatioa about the law, but 1 do not feel that I should be doing my duty if I punished him in this instance. If the public, as I be lieve they are, are liable to robberies by persons of the prisoner's description, why do not the police keep a look out, and catch some of them, and then we should know what to do; but to take this man and lock him up for merely loitering about in the place mentioned, I think was rather an overstretch of au thority, and I shall not detain him. The prisoner was then discharged. WANDS W ORTH. William Goddard, a carter in the employ of Mr. Buirbee, contractor, was charged with stealing a cart load' of bricks from the wharf of Messrs. Locke and Nesham, the said bricks being consigned to that firm ; and Mr. William Robert Coomber, of 2, Battersea bridge-road, builder, was charged with receiving a quantity of bricks, well knowing them to be stolen. Police-constable Walker, 98 V, was the first wit ness sworn, and he stated that, in consequence of in formation he received, he was in Battersea square at about half.past six o'clock on Tuesday morning, and at this time he perceived one of Mr. Bugbee's carts laden with bricks going towards Battersea-bridge; he watched it to the back of Church-street into a piece of vacant ground, in the rear of the garden of the Europa public-house. Goddard was driving the cart, and he then shot out his load. lie followed the empty cart back to Messrs. Locke and Nesham's wharf at the water-side, and on inquiry of Mr. tndall Wood he found lie had no contract at Bat tersea, and what bricks went from there were sup posed to go to the New Prison. Witness thee went to the station and give informition of what he had seen, and substqaently, in company with Sergeant Daley, went to the spot where the bricks were shot. He there saw a bricklayer named Leggatt and his labourer, who was hei g htening a wall enclosing the garden f the Europa Tavern, and using the bricks. The latter was cutting them up as bats. Loggatt said he had been employed by the prisoner Coomber. Witness tol Leggett ho must not touch any more of the bricks, as they were the property of Messrs. Locke and Nesham. He then remained watching the bricks until Godiard Wes brought there in cus t )dy of Sergeant Daley. The witness afterwards went in search of the prisoner Coomber, who was not at home, and he watched for him till half-past ten o'clock at night, when he returned home. Witness ad dressed him, sayt tet7 , D o you know anything of the bricks which are at the back of Europa-place ?" and he said, " Yes, I have purchased a thousand, and was to pay 265. for them. I have purchased a great many thousands of him, and have paid 2/. and 51. at a tiine." Witness asked him who he was, and Coamber said be was agent at Bugbee's v harf, Wands worth. Witness said that party had no right to sell any hfieks, as they were the property of Locke and Neshatn, the contractors. Coon - ibex then sad, " I shall be able to shuw you that some other parties have purchased of the same men." Witness now told him he should charge him with receiving the bricks, well knowing them to have been stolen, and took him into custody. Sergeant DAley, 33 V, corroborated the evidence of the previoua witness. Several other witnesses were examined in support of the charge ; the prisoners were ordered to be re manded for a week, and it is expected that by (to morrow (this day) several other parties will be in custody upon the same charge. LORD BROUGHAM'S LATE PISCATORIAL QUARREL. Tuesday being the day appointed fur the investi gation of Lord Brougham's illegal netting dispute, together with the counter assault cases, at Penrith, a great gathering of people was the consequence. Toe inquiry took piece at ,the Assembly-rooms, George and Dragon Hotel, and Listed upwards of eight hours, during the whole of witich time the spa cious apartment was crowded almost to suffocation. As was folly expected, there was a numerous attend• 'ince of magistrates, besides a large number of country gentlemen. Mr. E. AV. Haswell, CLairman of the Bench, presided. . Messrs. W. and D. Blaymore appeared for the Angling Association of Penrith, and Sir George Musgrave, Bart., and Mr. Jameson for Lord ,Brougham's party. There were no fewer than eight fishing and ten assault cases arising out of the same transaction. The first case proceeded with was that of John Robson, blacksmith, who appeared to answer the in formation of Thomas Hall, one of Sir George Mus grave's gamekeepers, under 7 and 8 George IV., c. 29, charging him with illegally using a net device, whereof the mesh was of a less size than one inch, at least, from knot to knot, or five inches round, and also did use a net which was double-armoured, in the river Eamont, in the parish of Edenhall and Brougham, in the counties of Cumberland and West moreland, on Monday, the 16th instant. Thomas Hall stated, that in accordance with in structions received from Sir George Musgrave, he, along with several other men from Penrith, went to the river Eamont on Monday, the 16th inst., in order to prevent all netting upon the side of the river ba• longing to Sir George. They had information that an attempt of this kind was to be made by Lord Brougham. When he and the others were watching, four or five men, of whom Robson was one, appeared at the side of the river. Shortly afterwards two car riages came up full of ladies and gentlemen. John Robson and Thomas Armstrong brought the net to the river side. Robson then changed part of his clothing and came over from the Westmoreland side with a rope in his hand, by which he drew the net after him. Witness walked up to him and told him he had no business on that (the Cumberland) side. Robson said he had nothing to do s ith it; witness might speak to Lord Brougham. Witness again told him to be off, but he took no notice. Two or three Penrith men came up then and get hold of the rope. During the whole of the time he saw no one strike at Robson, nor he at any one. He was sure that Rob son was walking down the liver nearer to the Cum berland than the Westmoreland side. It was pea. sible that fish could have been caught. This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. W. Brougham, who was called for the defen dant, stated that on the 16th instant his brother and a party of friends went down to the river Eamont with the express purpose of trying the construction hereto fore put on the Act entitled the Solway Act. Their object was to go down and draw the river with a net of a peculiar description—of a smaller mesh than usual, called a double-armoured net—to try whether the act of dragging the iver with such a net was il legal or not. Their notion was that they had an un doubted right to go down the Cumberland side in order to fish the Westmoreland side. He could hardly believe it possible there could have been any objection to that, because, if persisted in, the river would be perfectly useless to both parties, as it was impossible to fish with a net in one part of the river without going over to the other; a draught 'could not be made by taking half a river only. He added, that if theattacking party had waited five minutes the fishing would have been completed. As it was, however, he had no hesitation in swearing most solemnly that the net was never in a position to catch anything. The CHAIRMAN said that the Bench were unani mously of opinion that the charge had been fully made out, and they adjudged that Robson, the defers. dant, should pay a penalty of 51, including costs, otherwise to suffer six weeks' imprisonment in Car lisle gaol.—Tne fine was paid. The case was decided under the general Act. Thomas Armstrong, of Penrith, labourer, then ap peared to answer an information pressed by Watson, a member of the Eamont and Eden Angling Association, under the Solway Act. On the part of the defendant it was contended' that the Solway Act applied only to fish of the salmon tribe, while the pursuer maintained that it applied to all kinds of fish. The Bench took time to adjudicate. John Jackson, a member of the Penrith Angling Association, then appeared to answer a charge of as sault with which he was charged by John Robson, of Eamont bridge, blacksmith, one of Lord Brougham's netters. After the examination of the Marquis of Douro, Mr. W. Brougham, and other witnesses, the Bench gave it as their opinion that a good deal of violence had been used; but as there were some cross charges for assaults, all of which arose out of the fishing, they would recommend those charges on both sides should be withdrawn, and they should then refrain from giving judgment on the case in question. The assault cases on both sides were then with drawn by mutual consent. A charge was then preferred, under the Wilful Trespass Act, by old John Robson, his Lordship's head netter, against George Goodburn, for cutting the net on the 19,h instant. After two or three witness had been heard, the case was dismissed. The Court rose about nine o'clock, and the most intense interest prevailed during the whole hearing. THE POISONINGS AT LAUGHARVE. A few days ago we gave a brief account of some suspected poisonings which had taken place at Laug harne, Carmarthenshire. The inquest on the body of the deceased girl, Rebecca Uphill, who, it wi:l be remembered, was housemaid in the :family of Mr. T. Severne, of Brixton, near Laugharne, and whose death it was suspected was occasioned by arsenic administered to her by the cook in the same family, Elizabeth Gibbs, was resumed on - Monday, at the Globe lan, Laugharne, Iyzfure Mr. G. Thomas, coroner for the lower division of the county ; and on the same day an inquest was commenced on the body of Mary Ann Saverne, the lady of Mr. 'l'. Severne, whose death we before stated occurred, after a brief illness, on the 21st of July last, and was attended by all the symptoms which usually follow on the administration of arsenic. The inquest on the body of Rebecca Uphill lasted till nearly midnight, and a great number cf witnesses were examined. From their state: vents it appeared that previous to the death of her mistress, Mrs. Severne, the cook had asserted that some one in the house would be carried off, for she had seen " corpse candles." After that Indy's death, and a short time before Rebecca Uphill died, she said, Mrs. Severne would not be the only one that would he carried out of the house, but another would follow, for she had seen t• corpse candles" again. She also said to a man with whom she was walk ing in the fields, that another would go out of the servants' room. On Sunday, the Ist inst., the deceased girl was taken ill after eating food which the prisoner, Elizabeth Gibbs, had prepared. On the following Tuesday none of the servants approved of the dinner which had been got for them, and the cook undertook to make them sonic broth. Fur this pur pose she cut up some chops of mutton into pieces, and having put them into a saucepan with some water and other ingredients, she was observed to take the saucepan out of the kitchen, and put into it some thing which was supposed at the time to be meal fur the purpose of thickening it. She made the broth, and it was served up to the servants. After they had partaken of it, they complained that it produced a burning sensation in the throat, and with the excep tion of the deceased they all partook of it sparingly. The deceased ate about two teacupsfull, and a fellow servant about two tablespoonfuls, and the third girl merely tasted it. In about a quarter of an hour nftrr the meal all who had partaken of the broth were seized with sudden illness. The deceased was terribly sick and purged, and suffered great pain in the throat, stomach, and bowels ; the second, who had made use ofm a much smaller quantity, was sick. but not relaxed ; whilst the third, who had only sipped about a teaspoonful of the poisoned broth, suffered from burning pains in the throat. The poor girls were first taken ill between two and three o'clock in the day, and the deceased was a corpse between ten and eleven o'clock at night. Shortly before her death Mr. Hamilton, of Leug barns, was called in to see her, but she was evidently dying, and from her symptoms he col:side:red it to be a severe attack of cholera. It was shown that in the course of the afternoon the cock directed one of the servants to teke the saucepan with the remains of the broth and throw it into the hog trough. The girl did so, and on bring ing in the saucepan she observed about a table-spoon ful of some white substance sticking at the bottom of it. Upon her noticing it the cook said it was only meal, took the saucepan from her, went out with it, and in a little while she returned with the saucepan quite clean. A sow first partook of the broth which was thrown into the the hog trough, and soon after wards was taken ill and died, evidently in great agony. Another fat pig was taken with severe ill ness, and in all seventeen pigs (most of whom, how ever, ate of the remains when diluted by the :Ldmix tare of oth&r wash) were seized with illness. It was also proved in evideice that whilst the deceased gill NN as lying dead the cook said to a person whom she took up to see her, ‘• Here's the devil that would have got me out of my service. I hope she's in heaven s for I'm angry in my heart with her." This expression is supposed to refer to some complaint w hich the housemaid made respecting her conduct. These were the generalfects of the case, as produced in evidence. Mr. Herapath, analytical chemist, of Bristol, deposed that on examining the viscera he found extensive inflammation all over the stomach and the intestines, but more particularly at the great curvature of the stomach. Upon subjecting the con tents of the stomach and duodenum to gravitation, he se, - Karate I a small portion (something less than a tenth of a grain) of white arsenic. He also found arsenic in the substance of the stomach and the substance of the liver. From these evidences he was satisfied that death had been produced from the effects of white arsenic. The evidence closed at midnight. The jury re turned a verdict "That the deceased died from the effects of white arsenic, wilfully administered by the cook, Elizabeth Gibbs," being tantamount to a verdict of wilful murder against her; and she was accord ingly committed to the County Gaol to await her trial. The second inquest, on the - body of Mrs. Severne, was commenced during the day. The body was ex humed and examined by Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Hughes, of Carmarthen, who found extensive marks of inflammation The viscera were handed over to Mr. Herapath. That gentleman immediately com menced an analysis in the church vestry, and suc ceeded in discovering the presence of arsenic, and the inquest was subsequently adjourned to give time for a more perfect _analysis, and for the production of evidence. The following facts have transpired respecting the death of Mrs. Severne :—On Sunday, the 21st of July, Mr. Severne went to church, leaving his lady at home in her usual health ; on his return he found her dreadfully ill, suffering from vomiting and purg ing, accompanied by violent pain. A surgeon who was sent for considered that she was suffering from chdera, but hi little more than four hours after :he was first attacked she died. It is now recollected that no one was with her during her illness, and that she partook of nothing which was not prepared by the cook, Elizabeth Gibbs. The disclosures thus made at these inquests have created the utmost consternation and alarm in the pretty village of Laugharne. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. APPOINTMENTS.-ADMIRALTY, WEDNESDAY. Surgeons—Edward Davies, M.D. (1841), to the Hecate steam-sloop, at Portsmouth ; Dr. John Coul ter (1834), additional, to the flag-ship at Devonport for the Bellorophon. Assistant-Surgeons—E. W. Pritchard (1846), to the Hecate ; Patrick Stevin (1841), of the Thetis, 38, to the flag-ship at Devonport for the Bellorophon ; W. Lawrence, additional, to the Portland, 50, at De vonport, flag-ship for the Pacific. Sir F. Baring, Bart., expected back at the Ad miralty to-day from Balmoral, where the Right Hon. Baronet has been attending a meeting of the Privy Council. Rear-Admiral Dundas, C. 8., returns to the Admiraltyltc-day. The Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., has left the Admiralty for the Continent. Albatros, 12, Acting-Commander Elliot, will Le paid off at Chatham on Saturday. Bonetta, 3, brigantin: - ., Commander Forbes, will Le paid off at Chatham on Monday or Tuesday. She has arrived there from Portsmouth. It is generally expected that her commander will be promoted. His services, it is generally admitted, richly demand this reward at the hands cf the Board of Admiralty. GL:diator, 6, steam-frigate, Captain Adam; captured Ir , lr first prizs on the coast of Africa on the 25th of May. Sre was an American clipper of 200 tons. On the 24:h of June she captured another slaver of 180 tons, when she was taken possession of by Mr. Kiddie, the second master; she was named the Juliana, and proving leaky she was burned at Quitah. Part of her crew belonged to the vessel that murdered young Palmer, the midshipman of the Wasp.. Jackal, steam-tender to the Gladiator, joined the latter ship off Whyhda, on the 23d of June, when her commanding officer, Lieut. Lambard, exchanged with Lieut. Fowell, the former becoming first-lieu tenant of the steam frigate. Portland, 50, Captain Chads, was taken out of No. 5 dock at Devonport, on Monday morning, and placed on board the sheer hulk, and had her masts and bow sprit put in. Plymouth yacht, having had her bottom coppered, has been taken out of No. 2 dock. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—Tin Fairy royal yacht, Master-Commander D. N. Welch, went out of harbour at eleven A.m., to try her machinery, &c. The officers of the Dutch frigate Prin Von Orange have bv&n on board and inspected her. The Fox, 42, Captain Lambert, has proved hericif a superior sailer, having beaten the Thetis, 36, Captain Kurz, both in working to windward and running in a nine-knot breeze ; also the 13.‘netta brigantine, close hauled. The Thetis was eight miles in advance at starting, having weighed two hours before the Fox on Sunday last, but the latter got up with, passed her, and went into Plymouth Sound at two r m. on Mon day, the Thetis eight or nine miles astern of her. This was a result by no means expected on board either ship. The Fox has White's bow. The Pnaeton, 50, has achieved another triumph over her competitors in the squadron of evolution, as we learn by letters from Lisbon to the 9th inst. After a fortnight's cruise under the terms mentioned in Commodore Martin's memorandum,* which placed the Arethusa and Leander so much on the vantage ground, she has beaten them on every point more than ever. Whether or not she tried harder to suc ceed under such circumstances, or whether she sailed better than usual, our correspondent cannot say, but the result was unprecedented. The Phaeton is truly a wonderful ship. We think the squadron has been tried enough off Lisbon during the past six months. If it is needful to test them further, we should suggest a little rough weather work in the channel. * Copy of a memorandum from Commodore W. F. Martin, to Captain Symonds, of the Arethusa, and Cap tain Dares, of the Leander:— " Her Majesty's ship Prince Regent, "Lidbon, 26th August, 1850. 31ELIORANDUN. "1.

" W. F. MARTIN, Commodore." PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 25.—Her Majesty's frigate Fox, 42, Commander Lambert, bound to the East Indies, and the Thetis, 40, Captain Kuper, for Lisbon and Rio Janeiro, got under weigh yesterday morning. Between 12 and 1 o'clock, wind very light from S.W. to S.S.W., tide much more than half-ebb, the Fox, in charge of Mr. Thompson, Q teen's Harbour master, with the larboard tucks aboard, under all canvass, royals, flying-jib, and all, was apparently half-way between the western end of the Breakwater and Redding-point, Mount-Edgecumbe. The Thetis, under similar sail, kept away under the stern of the Fox; when she approached Redding-point, and was attempting to luff up to come in stays, and before her head came to the wind, she struck, end on, with her stem pointing —say north-west—towards the bridge between St. Nicholas Island and the main. In con sequence of the crew sallying her she rolled three times, and her topsails, topgallant sails, and royals having been put aback, and her jib, foretopmast stay sail, and flying-jib hauled down, she backed astern and got off. Boats from the Albion were quickly in attendance, and getting the head of the Thetis to the southward, towed her back to her moorings inside the Breakwater, where she came 'to an anchor. The Fearless steamer was subsequently dispatched from llatnoaze to assist the Thetis. The Adventurer transport arrived on Tuesday, with stores, from Portsmouth ; she is ordered to be paid off. Tha Nautilus merchant steamer, seventeen days from Patras, with 190 tons of currants, coaled at Millbay on Monday, and proceeded up Channel for her destination (London). The Cormorant steam-sloop, on the coast of Africa, had one man killed in the action with the fort at Paranguay, near Rio. The man belonged to this town, anal was named Richard Bow den ; ho was a stoker on board. By a letter just received, it states that a round shot pissed through the side of the vessel and cut the deceased's body in two. A few months ago his brother-in-law, a man named Curtis, was killed on board her Majesty's ship Star in the Bight of Benin. The Bzilerophon, 78, Captain Baynes, bas not yet hove in sight. Apprehensions are entertained as to LONDON, 11€.1. being brought into the port, the `cholera having appeared in a malignant form on hoard. ie Pau t APPOINTAIENTS.-Captain, L ,- .3rd George R - - Lieutenants, Oswald, Borland, and CharlesE.Car te Parser, William Mor.dy ; Assistant-Surgeon,W .
