IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS. July 26. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of Saturday.) IMPROVEMENT OF TOWNS (IRELAND) BILL. The House went into Committee upon this Bill, and after considerable discussion clauses from 172 to 180 inclusive were agreed to. The House then resumed, the Chairman reported pro gress, and obtained leave to sit again on Monday , next. Mr. ROCHE suggested that the Noble Lord at the head of the Government should at once abandon this snd other Bills which he did not think could be carried during the present session. Mr. REYNOLDS hoped the House would not ac cede to this. SUMMARY JURISDICTION (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill went through Committee. REPRESENTATIVE PEERS FOR SCOTLAND BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. PATENT LAW AMENDMENT BILL. The report upon this Bill was brought up and agreed to. BATTERSEA PARK AMENDMENT AND EX- TENSION BILL.

The Bill was subsequently brought in and read a first time. WINDSOR PARK. Colonel SALWEY wished to ask the First Commis. sioner of Woods, " Whether the entrance to the public avenue, commonly known as the Long Walk, at Windsor, is to continue in the ruinous and neglected state in which it has been allowed to remain since the removal of the lodge, twelve months ago? Also, whether there is any intention of closing any portion of that avenue?" Lord SEYMOUR, to tho first question, replied that immediate steps would be taken for the improvement of the entrance of the Long Walk; . and to the seco n d ques tion, that there was no intention of closing any portion of that avenue. The House adjourned at a few minutes to Four o'clock. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette.) ARMY PENSIONS.—We are glad to find that the Go verument have at last favourably entertained the case of those men who served and were wounded in action in the Peninsula, but discharged on th© completion of their limited period of service without a pension. It has al we, s been considered a great hardship to withhold from those deserving old soldiers the grant of some pecuniary allowance. It ie gratifying, therefore , that after the lapse of so ma n y y ears their services are recognised, and that they will enjoy, without paroc hial assistance, the means of decent subsistence. FLAG-CAPTAIN TO R EA R-ADMIRAL HENDER9ON, C.B. —lt will be seen that Captain St. Leger Cannon has been appointed flag-captain to the newly appointed Coni mender-in-Chief for the South-East Coast of America station. We understand that Captain Francis Decimus Hastings (1840), was the officer selected, and actually , eoeived his commission on Wednesday; but in conse quence of that gallant officer having been suddenly seized with a fit of apoplexy, the commission was re turned the same day. Captain William Slaughter, K.H. (1837), a distin guished officer who served afloat for about 18 years during the war, but who has not served since he was posted, has accepted the retirement of 1846. He is in receipt of the Greenwich out-pension. The new commander-in-chief of the south-oast coast of itnierica station, Rear-Admiral Henderson, C. 8., is said to have obtained his appointment through the in terest of the Duke of Wellington. He was Captain of Sandowa Castle, a sinecure appointment in the gift of his Grace, as the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. The Admiralty have ordered the Apollo, 8, troop -1014), Commander Rawstorne, on her arrival from Hali fax with her troops, to proceed to Chatham and be paid oil at that port. She has done gOod service since January, 1849. The Direcior of Works at Devonport Dockyard, Cap tain Williams, RE., has been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, and will now we presume quit the extraordinary dockyard service and return to his legiti mate position in his own corps. NEW STEAM-SHIPS FOR THE NAVY.—The Admi ratty have ordered two new screw-ships to be laid down at Pembroke Dockyard —one, a screw-frigate, on the lines of the Tribune, 28, building at Sheerness; and the other, a paddle-wheel steam-sloop, on the lines of the Cruiser, building at Deptford Dockyard. BRITISH CLIPPERS IN THE CHINA TRADE.—By OOT last accounts from China we hear that the clipper ships Reindeer, Oriental, and Stornaway have arrived—the latter, built fur Messrs. Jardine, Matheson, and Cu., expressly for the tea-carrying trade, has already made, for this time of the year, a splendid passage from Bombay, beating acme two dozen vessels that left before her; and bets upon her performance homeward will, it is expected, run very high. She is commanded by an experienced hand in these seas, Captain John Robertson. formerly of the John O'Gaunt. Lieutenant Rayner, of the 23d Fusiliers, has been appointed Acting Paymaster to the reserved battalion, in lieu of Hopton, promoted. Lieutenant-General the Right Hon. Sir Edward Blake ney, G.C.B. and G.C.H., commanding the forces in Ireland, has left Dublin for England on leave of absence. MINING INTELLIGENCE, (From the Mining Journal.) The inquiry tor shares this week has predominated over the amount of business done, and, on the whole, our market wears as healthy an appearance as a diminished business allows. Several of the progressive mines have announced samplings of increased quantities of ore, both lesd and copper ; and the shares in such have, in con sequence, attracted more attention. Still, the market generally is much in favour of the buyer, and we think must c;intinue so for some months to come— it being eviden t th other causes must concur with the present abund ance of capital to produce a perf..ctly satisfactory state of affairs for both buyers and seilers of mining shares. We have again to remark that there is a large class of stock upon which heavy sums have been expended, quite un saleable for the moment. The directors of the Devon Great Consols, at their weekly board meeting on Thursday, declared a dividend of 71. per share, amounting to 7,1681. At Trevisk , ,y meeting, on Monday, the accounts showed-Copper ore sold, 27th March (less 2201.25. 41 for dues), 2,421/. 7s. 31-Labour cost and tributers' part for April and May, 8481. 17s. 11d.; merchants' bills, 2451. 14s. 7d.; water charge to Tresavear, 2081. 18s. 7d.: leaving profit on the two months, 1,117/.

The Journal des Debats quizzes the proceedings of the Peace Congress after the following amusing fashion : "We see, by the English journals, that the Con gress of Peace has opened its sittings at Exeter Hall, in London. We dare not promise it a very great success in presence of the other Congress of Peace, much more positive and much more practical, called the Exhibition. We have not yet seen our old acquaintance, Red-skin, the Indian of good com plexion, who took last year to Frankfort his calumet of peace. If he had been present, he would, perhaps, have prevented the massacre of the innocents, of which we have to complain. We saw in the Exhibition, in the French part, a collection of little soldiers, in colour, sent by Silberman, of Strasburg. There are cavalry, in fantry, artillery, and chasseurs of Vincennes, in all the eclat of their uniforms: you can buy 400 men, infantry or cavalry, for 20f.; it is a permanent army at a cheap rate. The English, who have not, fortunately for themselves many soldiers, were not aware how many had entered their territory under the cover of free-trade; they did not suspect that horse of Troy, introduced within their walls, machina inyens, faeta armis. The Congress of Peace has directed a murderous artillery on this army of painted pasteboard. We cannot say how many have been left on the field; since the famous battle of petits pates on the banks of the Euphrates, under the direction of Fourier, we have not heard of such carnage. The Congress of Peace has then voted unanimously as all those of a Con gress of Peace ought to be against pasteboard soldiers and wooden swords. M. Delbruck was the first to call for the censure of the Congress on play things,which familia rise children with ideas of war and battle, Mr. Cobden, a serious man, took up this luminous idea, and made a es thetic address to mothers of families; Mr. Cobden, Member of Parliament, solemnly ranged in battle the red Goats and blue coats; ho described in picturesque language the blue coats rushing on the red coats, and made his auditory shudder at the sight of so much blood in effigy. It was specially to French mothers that the eloquent speech was ad dressed; for it is particularly in France that the de plorable mania of playing at soldiers prevails. And the Congress, as we said, unanimously voted a motion invit ing mothers of families not to give any more pasteboard soldiers to their children. Henceforth they must choose for presents little instruments of labour and manufac tures, gingerbread ploughs, chocolate locomotives, illu minated tables of Pythagoras, and there will then be nations of little sheep, grazing peacefully, protected by the crook of their shepherd, to the music of the pipe. There are, however, very serious, very honourable, avid very respectable men in the Congress, from whom we demand pardon for speaking so lightly of their childish ness. But, seriously, which are the greatest children— those who make playthings of such speeches, or those who make playthings of painted soldiers?" S WEDEN. We read in the IndJpendance of Brussels : " The Swedish Diet is on the point of closing its session. We have already stated that out of the four orders of which it is composed, two, the nobles and the clergy, had adopted the application made for credits to the amount of 322,000 f. to defray the expense of establishing the Prince-Royal, who was married some time back ; whereas the other two orders, the burgesses and peasants, refused to vote it. By the terms of the Constitution, the question must be now submitted to a committee composed of an equal number of members from each order. The nobles and the clergy have already each named the thirty members who are to represent them in this committee, and as was to be expected, the whole of the sixty members are in favour of granting the ap plication made. On the other hand, the burgesses and the peasants are to nominate their members, but as it is scarcely possible that out of the sixty mem bers to be named one or two should not be in favour of the demand, the point will be decided probably by a majority of one or two, that number being sufficient. The question excites much attention at Stockholm, and the general opinion is that it would be better for the Government to withdraw its application, as a victory with one or two votes of majority is morally equivalent to a defeat, particularly as two of the orders were opposed to the ap plication. It is even supposed that, in the end, the Ministry will resolve to adopt that course. In addition, it would appear that, in Sweden, the population begins to look with an eye of envy on the Constitution enjoyed by Norway, which is far more liberal than that of Sweden. Men ask why the two parties of the kingdom, united under the same sceptre, should not enjoy the same liberties and the same immunities, and it is remarked that this credit of 322,000;., as well as an augmentation to the appanage of the Prince Royal, amounting to 150,0001., are asked for from Sweden alone, without Norway being called on to participate in the matter. In conse quence, a movement for the purpose of applying the Constitution i of Norway to Sweden is expected to ma nifest itself n this latter country. The partisans of the uniformity , of the fundamental law affirm besides that the change will be equally profitable to both parts of the kingdom. FRIGHTFUL ACT OF CANNIBALISM: The Courtier de Marseille gives from an eye wit ness the following details of an event on the coast of Africa, which has been slightly mentioned in some of the journals :--" A frightful act ofcanni a b s a s l a is m m , has been committed in the villa g e o f Grand Bassani, on the right bank of the river of that name, and close to a French settlement. The chief or kin.. of this village, named Piter, or Peters, had to cele brate the creation of a new village recently established in his neighbourhood. lie consequently drew out a pro gramme of the fete, and in order to render the Fetiche fa vourable, he resolved to sacrifice a human victim, who was afterward s to serve as a feast for his savage subjects. For this purpose he purchased a black captive in a neighbour ovlaifoaii in g V illage, who was brought bound bands and feet, to Grand 14 re fuge in—tallam Before the Eretoeffect day his arrived for the cottage s he 6e thett contrived a. French fort, and concealed himself in one fo a r nd his too ir °- , Fron in c ha.bited by the natives in the ser one o f those natives , eat'ahn place of retreat , daT entered corporal,theere d King nt too soon gae h discoverednegotiation t itsot ioghiv e withhu his place canoe should the refugee to him. corporal consented, consented, and it was agreed that a , however, to bring away up, notwithstandingr , the natives at theth e the victim. On its arrival poet refused to deliver him LONDON, orders of the corporal. In the meantime the slave had slipped out of his hiding-place, and sought an other refuge, but he was at length recovered and taken back to Grand Bassatn. On the day ap pointed for the fete all the people assembled; the poor victim was tied to a tree, and the people commenced their savage dances round him, to the sound of the tamtam. Bach of the warriors then gave him a wound, and, when at length death released him from his sufferings, his head was cut off and stuck on a pole in the middle of the village. The body was afterwards cut up and thrown into a large cauldron, which had been prepared for the purpose, and boiled, and each of the persona present took a share. The native corporal who had been tampered with to give up tho slave was among the invited guests, and appeared to ent e r with great avidity into the horrible scene. The remainder of the day was spent in dancing round the head on the pole, which was afterwards taken down and kicked like a ball through the village by the savages. The com mandant of the French squadron on the coast called on the Chief Inter to explain his conduct, and a force was stationed off the Grand Bassam, with the intention of burning it in the event of his lon ger refusing to give satisfaction for his conduct. At the Diet moment, and just when the attack on the village was about to commence, Miter sent a person with the amount of fine demanded-20 ounces of gold. He also agreed to deliver a certain number of oxen and sheep to the French factory." PRICES OF SHAKES IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM• PANIES' STOCK. From the Official List.

CROWN COURT.:—(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS ) The following case was tried last night:— William Hodyion was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury at Leeds before the Bankrupt Commissioner for the Leeds district on the 25th of April last. Mr. Hardy and Mr. West appeared for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Pickering defended the p r i soner . It appeared that previous to last December the prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Joshua Unwin, stu ff manufacturer of Bradford, who had done business with the firm of Armistead and Co„ of Leeds. In the early part of December Unwin absconded to America, being then largely in debt to Armistead and Co., who tiled a petition in the Leeds Di s t r i ct B an k ruptcy C ourt. praying for an adjudication of bankruptcy against him; and Unwin was duly adjudged bankrupt, Messrs. Armis tead, the petitioning creditors, proving their debt to be 5251. 16s. sd. The bankrupt had been in the habit of consigning goods to them for sale, drawing upon them for the amount; and a bill of exchange for 2501., purport ing t o be drawn upon them by the bankrupt and accepted by them, .was indorsed t o M r . W at ki nson for value. This bill Watkinson paid away, and nothing more was . heard of i t unt i l a f ter U nw i n appeared that the ac ceptance a a n b c s e c wndaesd,a it d rge it he ry t , n and it was of course dis honoured when became due. W at ki nson t h en made inquiries of the prisoner about the acceptance, and he said it was Armistead's acceptance, and that it was writ ten by Armistead's clerk. Mr. Watkinson, feeling con vinced that the acceptance was a forgery, and as it ap peared to have been uttered by the prisoner, indict e d hi m at the last assizes for uttering the forg e d a cce pt ance , on which charge he was acquitted. The prisoner was after wards summoned on the 23d of last April before the Bankruptcy Court for the Leeds district, to give evidence relating to the bankrupt's affairs. He accordingly at tended before the Commissioner, and on being sworn and shown the Bill in question i he said he remembered th e Bill, and that he had paid t to Mr. Watkinson, on ac count of money owing to him by the bankrupt. The body of the Bill was in his handwriting, and it was signed per procuration on behalf of the bankrupt. The signs. tura to the acceptance was in the handwriting of Richard Collett, Messrs. Armistead'a clerk. It was signed in the presence of Armistead, with his sanction. It was signed on the 4th of October, at their country house, and pri soner was present when it was signed. The whole of this statement was alleged to be false, and perjury was assigned upon the several allegations, Mr. Armistead and his clerk, Mr. Collett, swearing the whole statement to be untrue. Another Bill, accepted by Collett, was pro duced, and it was contended oa behalf of the prisoner that he had made a mistake as to the two transactions, and that the prisoner had no motive or intt.rest whatever to induce him to state that whch was also in making the ;Wen:tent which he had done, while Messrs. Artni.tead would be absolved from responsibility on the bill if the prisoner were convicted. Witnesses were called who gave the prisoner a good char!toter. LORDSHIP having summed up at near eleven o'clock last night, the jury, after an absence of half-an hour, found the prisoner Not Guilty. His LORDSHIP this morning sentenced six prisoners, who had been convicted on different charges of highway robbery, making thirteen in all who have been convicted of that crime at these assizes, to be severally transported fo r fifteen years. His LORDSHIP remarked that this crime was so pre valent in this county that peaceable people walking about after nightfall appeared to be continually in danger of being violently attacked and robbed by two or three ruffians banded together. It was therefore neces sary, by a severe example, to put a stop to this crime. Sarah Harrison was indicted for the murder of her infant child at Thirtleby, in the East Riding, on the 4th of February last. Mr. Dearaley and Mr. Newton prosecuted, and Mr. Seymour defended the prisoner. It appeared, Irons the opening of the Learned Counsel, and from the testimony of the witnesses examined, that the prisoner being pregnant, became an inmate of the Skirlaugh Uninn Workhouse, where she was confined of a child on the 14th of January lase On the 4th of Feb. following she lett the workhouse early in the morning, taking the child w i t h h er . A t noon the prisoner was met at Bri gbarn's-gat e , about a mile from which plaee the body of a child was afterwards found in a ditch by the road side. Between three and four in the afternoon the prisoner was at a place called Humbleton, where she gave to a Mrs. Rayne the clothes whi c h the child had on when it left the workhouse in the morning in good health. The prisoner then stated to Mrs. Rayne that her child had died of convulsions on the previous Wed nesday, and was buried on Friday. On the 4th of March the body of a child was found in a ditch by the road between Thirtleby and Coniston. It was examined by a surgeon, who vas of opinion that the child had , died from injuries received by it on the bead, producing congestion at blood on the brain, and from a cut in, the side extending from the breast bone to the spine, which had been made during life. Convulsions would produce the same appearances of congestion. On the 7th of March the prisoner was apprehended on this charge, and she then stated that she had not had a child at Skir laugh ; that when she left the workhouse with her child she brought it to her parent's house, where it died, and that it was buried at Sutton on the sth of February. On inquiry this was found not to be true, the child found in the ditch was in a decomp.)sed state, and ap peared to be about five weeks old, and was a female child. There was no proof of the identity of the child found with the prisoner's child beyond the circumstances. Fur the defence it was contended that the identity of the child found had not been established; and. evc-n if it had, the appearances it presented were such as might be accounted for in a child which had died of convulsions; that convulsions might have been produced by cold in a child so young, and that the cut in the side might have been done with the spade of the man who, in cleaning ont the ditch, found the child. _ _ _ His LORDSHIP directed the jary to be satisfied first as to the proof of the identity of the child. If that were not established the charge entirely failed. Secondly, if satisfied as to that, they must consider whether or no in their opinion the charge was made out that the child had died from the violence the prisoner inflicted upon it. His Lordship then went carefully through the evi dence, directing the jury, if they had any reasonable doubt as to the effect of it, to givs the prisoner the be nefit of it. The jury, after a short absence, found the prisoner Not Guilty. George Crabtree was indicted for perjury committed at he last Y 4 41 k assizes. Mr. Pickering and Mr. Hardy prosecuted, and Mr. Overend and Mr. West defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner lived at Burley-wood head, near Bingley, and a man named Cooper lived at Bingley. In September last a man named Smith had lent Cooper some woolcombs, and he went to Cooper's house to get them back. On going into a chamber in Cooper's house to get these combs he saw seven parcels of wool-tops lying there. which excited his suspicion. He accordingly gave information to the inspectors ap pointed under the Worsted Act (an Act passed to pre vent the purloining of wool intrusted to workmen to work up, and giving extensive powers of search). On this information, Smith and a man named Cheese borough watched Cooper's house on the night of the 24th of September, and Cooper was seen to leave his house at two o'clock iu the morning, and was followed to Burley-wo al-head, eight miles off, where he was seen to enter the prisoner's house, at four in the morning, with a bundle. He left the prisoner's house in about ten minutes, the prisoner first coming to the door and looking about. saying, " It is all right, there is nobody about." When Cooper left he had an empty sack with him. On his way to Burley wood-head the prisoner was met by several persons who knew him and spoke to him, and he was seen to go back to his own house about six o'clock in the morning. On this information being given to the police, the prisoner's house was searched, and in it were found seven tops of wool, which Smith subsequently swore, on an informa tion preferred under the Worsted Act, were the same tops be had see❑ in Cooper's house. For this evidence Smith was indicted for perjury, for having stated he had seen Cooper go to the prisoner's house on the morning of the 24th of September, as stated; and the prisoner on the trial of that indictment swore that he had not been up in the course of that night, arid chat he had heard no noise at his house until the constables came at six o'clock, and that be had not received any wool of any kind from any one that night, and that he did not at that time know Cooper, and had never seen him, nor had Cooper brought him any tops. Fur giving this evidence the prisoner was now indicted, and witnesses were called to corrobo rate Smith's statement that Cooper had been seen to en ter his (prisoner's) house on the night in question with a bundle, as stated. Many of these witnesses, on cross examination, appeared to be of indifferent character, having been in Wakefield House of Correction, and as to some of the facts deposed to there was only oath against oath. Mr. OVEREND having addressed the jury for the pri soner in an able speech, MS LORDSHIP summed up, carefully going through the evidence. The jury, after a short absence, found the prisoner Not Guilty. July 26.. Mr. Justice Williams sat in the Crown Court at eight o'clock this morning. Joseph Cliff was indicted for wilful and corrupt per jury, before the Bankruptcy Commissioner for the Leeds district, at Leeds, on the 12th of June last. Mr. Overend and Mr. Campbell Foster prosecuted, and Mr. Hardy and Mr. Snaw defended the prisoner. It appeared, from the opening statement of the counsel for the prosecution, that the defendant, who was in part nership with his brother's widow, carried on business with her at Bradford us a brass and iron founder, under the firm of "J. and J. Cliff," and that previously to last April, this firm had had extensive business transactions with a Mr. Thomas Dixon, an iron merchant at Brad ford. Mr. Dixon becoming insolvent, it became neces sary to call a meeting of his creditors on the 16r,h of last April, at which the defendant attended. At that time Dixon owed to the firm of J. and J. Cliff 2501. 2s. Il d. for goods sold and delivered, us a security tor which they held a dishonoured bill for 3001. Th-y had also been paid by Dixon another bill for 3421. 7s. 4d., not then at maturity. It also appeared that they held a third bill, drawn by Dixon on Messrs. Rangeley and Wright, of Sheffield, and accepted by them, and en dorsed to the firm of J. and J. Cliff by Dixon, in part payment of his account. At the meeting of Dixon's creditors, it was agreed that Dixon should make an as signment of all his goods and effects to assignees for the benefit of his creditors, and t e defendant assented to that assignment. The deed of assignment was after wards duly E xecured, but, within the time allowed by law the defendan , presented a petition praying for au adjudication of bankruptcy against Dixon on this act of bankruptcy. In his affidavit verifying his petition be swore the debt of 350/. 2s. Ild. due to the firm of J. and J. Cliff ti be due to himself trading under that firm. This affidavit was alleged to be false, and on this perjury was assigned. On the sth coriumr last the trading, act of bankruptcy, and petitioning creditor's debt having been proved before the Commissioner, Dixon was adjudged bankrupt. and, et a public sitting of the Court, held on the 12th June at Leeds, the adjudication of bankruptcy was disputed by the bankrupt, on the grounds that the debt sworn to by the prisoner Cliff was not due to him but to him and his partner jointly, and that as to the debt due to the partnership, the prisoner had come in under the assignment. The prisoner then swore be fore the Commissioner that he had no partner, that the debt was due to him alone, and that he only came in under the assignment conditionally that the bill fur 342/ 7s. 4d. should be provided for when it arrived at matu rity, but that he had since been compelled to pay it by process out of the ci,urt. Both these statements were averred to be false, and on each of them perjury was as signed. On the 4th of July last a sitting was held at the Bankruptcy Court for the proof of debts, and the prisoner then proved his debt to be 3501. 2s. 1 ld. for goods sold and delivered, and 3421. 7s. 4d. for money paid to meet the bill for that amount; and he then swore that he held no other security for this said debt than the dishonoured bill for 3001. and the bill for 3421.75. 4d. which he had paid. This was alleged to be false, as he then held the bill for 149/. drawn by Dixon on Ran geley, Wright, and Co., then running on, and which he compelled them by process, out of the court, eight days afterwards, to pay, thus getting the dividend on his debt and tee 149/. besides. On this statement perjury was also assigned. In support of these various allegations of perjury the proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court were put in, and witnesses were called to prove that at a meeting of Dixon's creditors on the 16th of April the defendant assented to the assignment of Dixon us a creditor, end that the assignment was afterwards executed, and he was not heard to make any terms that the bill for 3424 then running should be met or he would not come in under the assignment; and that the defendant had held himself out as a partner with Mrs. Cliff. On cross examination these witnesses admitted that the deleadaut might have made an objection respecting the 3421. bill at the meeting of creditors, and they nut hear it, and that an account of the defendant's demand was handed round which mentioned in it this bill. It also appeared that, subsequently, before the Commissioner, Mr. Ca riss, attorney, of Leeds, attended on behalf of the bank rupt, and then objected to the adjudication of bank ruptcy, on the ground that Mrs. Cliff was a partner; that Mrs. Cliff was examined and denied the partnership, and he gave up tne, objection. The bank rupt was then called to prove that the bill fur 1491. was held by the defendant at the time he was examined before the Commissioner as a security for his debt then sworn to. On cross examination he admitted that he owed the de endant 2001. in addition to that debt, and that the 1491. null might have been held as security ter that 200/. debt. The indictment had been preferred, in the first instance, before the grand jury, and had not been ordered by the magistrates. His LORDSHIP inquired who was the prosecutor in the case? The witness replied that he was. His LORDSHIP—Where did you get the money to pay the costs? I borrowed it. His LORDSHIP said the charge against the defendant appeared to him entirely to fail. Mr. OTEREND said that, after that opinion from his Lordship, be should not feel it his duty to further press the prosecution. The defendant was therefore Acquitted. His LORDSHIP said the prosecution appeared to him to be entirely groundless. This finished the criminal business of the assize. POLICE INTEL LIGENCE. , BO STBAE , Mr. William Au.stin, a barrisTer, was charged wil having assaulted Obadiah Bellamy. Th,, complainant is a checktaker at the concerts of the Sacred Harmonic Society ai, Exeier-hall, fi e was officiating in this capacity at ,he, orchestra gate on Friday evening, when the defendant pr esen t hi mse l f tor admission by u ticket which prov,:d to be the property of Mr. Jerkin, a member, and was not transferable. The complainant exilained this circumstance to the defendant, and retained the ticket. with the view of laying it before the commi,tee, as was usual when any such irregularities occurred. file defendati, Was nut satisfied with :11, x planation given, and demanded the return of his friend's ticket, hut he was told that it could not be delive , r , d back w him, as Mr. Jenkin was aware that the members' tickets were untransferable. The defenlatit became ex tremely violent, and wrenched the ticket from Mr. Ba lamy's hand, up on w hi c h h e inflicted a severe laceration by the process. Ile then ran off, but was stopped by a constable and conducted back to the office of the com mittee. here he w as i n f orme d that the complainant had merely discharged his duty, but that he was willing to take no further steps in the matter, if an apology was given. The & fondant refused to pologiz Th, and was eon,eqq, nay given into custody upon the present charge of assault. Mr. J.-nkin explained that he had authorised his friend Mr. Austin to take one of two tickets from an envelope at his residence, and that he had accidentally taken the wrong one Mr, Ricardo, a friend of the defendant, was about to convince his worship of the defendant's respectability, whe❑ Mr. HALL declared that ho could show no respect to persons, and would not be influenced by such evidence. The defendant had acted with unpardonable violence and obstinacy, and must pay, as he deserved to pay, the fullest penalty that he was enabled to ii,fltet. His wor ship then fined the defendant 51, which was instantly paid. Paid.

The following is an extract from a private letter:— " On the 26th of March Captain Hely, commanding Messrs. Dent and Co.'s store-ship the Amite, stationed in the river Min, whilst proceeding up the river to the town of Foochow, in twc Chins boats with eight men, was attacked by six large piratical junks, carrying 40 to 60 men each. Taey commenced a heavy fire and made sail upon him evidently with the view of running his boats down, but a well directed and con tinued fire from a large swivel duck gun and muskets by his crews disinclined the pirates to close quarters, though their boarding nettings were triced up eight feet high. The boat following his own was, however, intercepted by one of the junks, and one of the Lascars we s knocked overboard. The hazard was great, but there was no other means to save the man's life. He ranged his boat right athwart the junk's bow, gave her a raking, and engaged in hand in hand fight with the crew. Tie struggle was desperate; be sides the continual fire of small arms they heaved stones and stink-pots (pots filled with powder-bags, having slow matches attached, which are broken by being thrown on an object and explode) upon his crew, and wrested the pikes from two of his men's bands. The Lascar was, however, picked up alive, a tow-line was made fast, and Captain Hely bad the triumph of sailing both his boats away and proceeding ou his course, the light wind giving him a superiority over the heavy junks. Considering the immense force of the pirates and the time the engagement lasted (half an hour) the escape of Captain Hely and his small crew was miraculous. Seven were, however, severely wounded whilst alongside the junk by spears and pikes; he himself was struck on the head by a stone, carrying away his cap, but without injuring him, and one man only escaped unhurt. Captain Hely has no doubt that the pirates had received timely notice of his intention to visit Focchow, for the shore was crowded with spectators watching the contest and cheering on the pirates. His fire proved effective, for the Chinese authorities, who were taking measures to secure the pi rates, informed him that five were killed and forty wounded, many of them severely."

Richard Richards, living at No. 3, Weir's passage, Somers-town, was charged before Mr. Long with having stolen birds of Paradise and ostrich and other feathers to the value of upwards of 2001., the property of Mr. Ad cock, plumassier, Prince's -street, Cavendish-square. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Adcock, that on the night of the Bth ult., about ten o'clock, be locked up a house adjoining, and, in fact, forming part of his business premises; and on the morning of Monday, the 10th ult., at seven o'clock, be found an entry had been effected, and the above valuable pro perty carried off from the room in which if had been de posited. On tint floor of the room a dark lantern was found. and it was clear there had been no forcing, and that entrance must have bean made with a false key. About a fortnight after he received an anonymous letter, ad vising him to offer a reward for the recovery of the property. From some information that Mr. Adcock had received from Mr. Elving, commission agent, 9, Duke street, Grosvenor-square, he went with that gen tleman and Inspector Jackson, D division, t o th e pri soner's lodgings to see a quantity of feathers the pri soner had offered to sell Mr. Elting (on the intro duce ion of a person named Scott), and for the apparent purpose of purchasing them, if approved of. The prisoner, without hesitation, showed them, anti they found 26 bird of Paradise feathers. The prisoner, askeel 601. for them ; and Mr. Adcock, being satisfied that they were a portion of those stolen, gave him into custody. Remandf dto Saturday next. W ORS HIP-S 7 BEET. John Plaskett, an active, powerful young man, de. scribed by the police as being the brother of the notori, ous William Hackett, wirfose adroit escape from the Pentouville Model Prison excited so much public atten tion about six or eight months ago, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hammil, charged upon suspicion of having been concorned with others not in custody in stealing three bales 4 , f silk of the value of 1131., the Lotninal pro perty (sf Mr. John Pope, a llghterm.in and carrier, BA Harp-lane, Fenchurch-street. It was intimated by Sergeant Teakle, who appre hended the prisoner, tied deserved great ertdit for hie adroitness and determination, that if an opportunity were given him he should be able on a future occasion to ad duce evidence or a very conclusive character to fix the charge upon the accused, and he was ordered to be brought up again in a week. CLERKEN WELL. The neighbourhoon of Islington and Hornsey was painfully excited on Saturday, in consequence of a re port that a young lady had been outraged in a barbarous manner by a villain who had attempted her life in Horn sey-wood, and that he had been apprehended and lodged in the station-house of the district, and was to be exa mined before the magistrate of Clerkenwell-court. Long before the opening of the justice-room crowds had collected in the vicinity, and when the prisoner was brought in it was instantls excessively crowded. The acca , ed, a well-dressed fellow, stated his name to be James Noble, otherwise Thomas Spurrier, and the prosecutrix, was Miss Saran Elisabeth Brown, 18 pars old, of No. 6, Annett's. place, Ball's. pond. She seemed terroratricken and nearly feinted away. On being sworn she deposed that she was on a visit to her sister, and on the previous afternoon she took a walk in Hornsey wood, where she observed the prisoner with another man. She lost sight of them for some time, when suddenly the accused emerged from a thicket behind her, and gave her a violent blow under the right ear, which caused her to stagger, and, on turn ing round, he gave her another blow on the left eye, which caused her to fall. The ruffian then threw him self upon her, with his knees on her stomach, and, holding her tightly by the throat by one hand, struck her several violent blows on the face and other parts of her person, frcm which blood flowed abundantly. She screamed, and called out " Murder," the prisoner all the time endeavouring to raise her clothes and conducting himself otherwise in a manner not fit for publication. She effectually resisted his base design, although he pulled out a knife and attempted to cut her throat, saying he would have her d- brad off unless she con sented to his doing what he liked with her. Her cries at length brought assistance, and the prisoner, after a most desperate resistance, was eventually captured. William Reesby, a butcher, said he was attracted by cries of " Murder," and screams. He found the prisoner and prosecutrix struggling on the ground. The accused, on seeing him, endeavoured to escape, but was laid hold of by witness, when a moat terrible struggle ensued be tween them, the prisoner catching hold of his necker chief and attempting to strangle him, which no doubt he would have done, as he (witness) became faint and exhausted, when luckily a young man named Moseley came to his rescue, and they kept him down until the art ival of a police-constable, the prisoner struggling desperately and w ounding them with a knife. Mr. Moseley and the officer, having given corrobora tive evidence, the prosecutrix was recalled, and, in an swer to the magistrate, said, that before the constable came up, she saw the prisoner throw the knife into the wood. It was a white-handled one, silver mounted. She was cerain she must have been murdered had it not been for the brave and courageous conduct of the witnesses. The prisoner kicked and boat her in a molt awful man nor. and she was suffering very much, and under medical treatment. A certiticate way here handed to the magistrate, bear ing the signature of a surgeon, who de-cribed the prose cutrix t,) have been grievously maltreated, s.tud that it would be a long time before she could recover, as her system had received a very severe shock indeed. While giving her evidence she was deeply affected, and several times burst into tears. The witnesses who secured the prisoner said, that whi-n he found out that further resistance was of no use, he Qff:!red them ail the money he had about him to allow him to escap , and because they refused, d them vile names, vowing he would some day or other be the death of them. The prisoner, on being called on for his def,nce, coolly said —" I d*ny having had or thrown away a knife, and I shall t.ay no more.". He was committed to Ishwgate fJr trial, and the witnesses were bound over to prosecute. The magistrate highly c.troplimeired the young men Reesby and Moseley f-r their brave and humane inter ference. They were deserving of a reward, and he pre s,nted ouch of them wir,h 10s. They thanked tie Court, observing they had only done their duty, and were happy to have had it in their power. The prisoner wai them removed to Newgste, and Miss Brown, with her sister, was convee ed home in a cab.

We continue to receive supplies of grain from abroad.—The receipts •f home grain, however, are very trifling, the supply for the week being, of wheat 6 barrels, oats 423 barrels. The business passing in wheat is on the :mast retail scale, but we have no change to notice in prices. Some small transactions have taken place in oats at late rates. The tendene), however, is to lower prises. The trade in flour continues very dull, and it is difficult to make sales of the article, except where the wants of the bakers com pel them to become purchasers. Even then, too, they confine themselves to the supply of their more pressing necessities. We observe no change in the value of the article, but, as with oats, the tendency is downwards. Indian corn, owing to the liberal supply of good potatoes, is in very little demand, and we must quote the article a very dull sale at declining rates. Barrels.

LIVERPOOL, JULY 26.—T0-day prices are firm, but remain unchanged. MANCHESTER, JULY 26.—During the week the weather for the most part was showery and unsettled, with a rather cool temperature. The trade since our last report has under gone little or no change, the demand for all articles being on a very limited scale, and on flour buyers have had the turn of prices in their favour. From Ireland and our own coast the arrivals into Liverpool and Runcorn are extremely light, and from abroad the imports this week (with the exception of wheat which are to a fair amount) are only to a moderate ex tent. Our market this morning was exceedingly quiet, but in the value of wheat no change was observable. Flour met a very slow sale, and barely supported th e previous currency. Oats were likewise rather cheaper, but oatmeal, continuing in very short supply, realised fully late rates. In the neighbourhood of Sudbury the heavy rains have laid extensive breadths of wheat, which are likely to be much in jured by it, and at the market on Thursday this produced much firmness, the farmers being indisposed to sell unless at an ad vanced rate. In Suffolk the markets have been scantily supplied. At Hadleigh scarcely anything but wheat was offered, and the trade for this was dull. At Bury the trade was by no means active, but late quota rior qualities decli ne d 6d to Is per quarter. t i o A n s t - o r o e d br supported. dge inf e on Thursday ther e was a moderate supply o f N we o s T a T t i , s w o h t :c A h m w , ajs:tLayken26o.ff—apt alartieegqutohteapti Oats At were sto w dearer. market han and but bu h t ay few down farmers hav - e in s quotations. rain has c continue d ti nu dished lc almostta who daily, the more back wardto lead it, consequently mu c h o f i t is s oil d y e been enabled t The re was a fair supply of wheat from th e growers to-day, but the millers p e bought very cautiously, an d l ast week ' s price scou ld not be ex ceeded. Grinding barley slow sale at late prices. Oats were Is per quarter lower, w i t h a very limited demand . Bea ns un altered in value. WORCESTER, JULY 2 6.—Sonse heavy rains this week in different part of the country, and high winds have in many places beaten down the corn crops, now heavy with the swell ing grain. Th e ra i n has been very servicea bl e in reviving the green crops, but the wheat can do well without moisture until harvest. At our market to-day prices were well supported, although millers purchased with caution. English white wheat sold at 16s to 17s per bag of three bushels ; and red, 15s to 16s per bag. Malting barley in moderate request at 3s 6d to 3s 8d per imperial bushel ; distilling, 3s 4d to 3s 6d. New English beans, 4s 4d to 4s 8d per b ushel ; old, 4s 8d to 5s per bushel; foreign as before. Old English oats, 3s 6d to 3s 9d per 391 b ; new, 3s 3d to 356 d ; and Irish, from 3s to 3s 3(1 per bushel. Peas sold slowly at from 4s 4d to 4s 6d per bushel. On the whole the market was dull. At Stourbridge and Stratford-on-Avon corn markets on Friday the same dull nes s was observable, an d b usiness was only transacted on a limited scale. At Wolverhampton there was a moderate supply of wheat from the farmers, but millers bought very cautiously; the prices of last week were not exceeded in any sales. English wheat brought 8s to 18s 6d per bag for white, and 16s to 17s for red, 1961 b net. Barley for grinding in full request, at 26s per 39 'lb ; malting qualities little inquired for. Old English beans a dull •ale at 13s 6d ; new English, 12s to 12s 6d; and French, 12s per 1 961 b Oats were di spose d o f a t rather less mo ney, the rates being. English, 25s to 265; Irish, 21s to 23s ; and French, 20s to 21 s per 3121 b. At Atherstone there wa s a f a i r s h ow o f w h ea t, which met with a fair sale at former prices.
