THE MINISTFRIAL CRISIS IN FRANCE. SPIRIT OF THE PARISIAN' PRESS. The Assemblie Nationale says : " When M. Louis Napoleon was placed at the head of the Executive Government, the Monarchical party, in its two shades of opinion, afforded him honest sup port and powerful assistance. It was necessary to combat the revolution, to drive it back, and to wrest society from its fatal embraces ; and all, Legitimatists and Orleanists, lent their efforts. But it happened that this co-operation was singularly understood by the President of the Republic. He appeared to be lieve and to hope that those who gave it would abdicate in his hands their p ast, their souve nirs, their right, and their cause. That was de ceiving himself strangely. The Monarchical parties cannot have any other ides, any other object than the re-establishment of a veritable monarchy. They will not make themselves the instrument of an Em pire, or of a Consulate for life. They will not abdi cate. Is it because he bas been deceived in this hope, that the President of the Republic now de mands forces from the revolutionary party? Already may the reception his advances have met with cause Lain to reflect. The more he engages in this fatal path, the more his disappointments will become embittered. It is thus that, in giving himselp to an exclusively personal amhition, he has b f uecome isolated, and lessened in importance. If he had shown himself impassible and disinterested in the midst of parties, he would perhaps hive been pressed to keep a little longer an impartial and moderating power. The President has not had this prudence. There is henceforth between him and the majority, not only distrust, lzheta question of honour anddigni,y. This n ew scission has rendered the ground more unsaf e. We cannot in these agitated times guarantee the future, but whatever may hap pen, the majority will prove its existence by re maining the couregeous guardian of order, of the la w s, and of society. The gravity of circumstances is extreme ; in some parts anarchy has already com mitted acts of savage fury; the faults of the Execu tive Government have caused trouble and disquietude in public opinion. Bat the evil would be still greater ; it would be irreparable if we could not say, with reason, and in spite of the sophisms by which it is endeavoured to misrepresent facts, that there is a rn .: l7ty, and that it will know how to give proof of e - ilErgy and power." The.ilebats says :—" The Ministerial crisis has ad vanced but little, but we cannot say that it has gone back. A journal of the Left had announced that M. Billault has definitively failed in the mission which he had received to form a Cabinet. According to reports, which were afterwards in circulation, that journal was ill-informed; M. Billault continued his measures, and had not lost all hopes of success. Now, there is no longer any talk of M. Billault, who, it is said, has already set off on his return to Nantes, and the names of General Le Pays de Bourjolly as Minister of Foreign Affairs ; General Leroy de St. Arnault as Minister of War; M. Giraud (d'Angers) as Minister of the Interior; M. Bineau as Minister of Finances ; M. Ducos as Minister of the 'Marine.; and of M. Hippolyte Fortoul as Minister of Public Instruction, have been brought forward. We confine ourselves to mentioning these reports under all reserve. The only thing which can he positively stated is, that up to the present time nothing has been definitively decided on, and that apparently nothing will be decided on until the President of the Republic shall have completed the drawing up of , his Message. The public waits for the denouement of , the crisis with a calmness which is not the least singular trait of the present state of affairs. At the Salle des Conf6rences, as at the Bourse, the physiognomy is the same ; every one seems agreed to allow tl:e President of the Republic to be at his ease. It is not the country, it is not the Assembly, it is not the Permanent Committee, which has created the present crisis; it is not parliamentary exigencies and annoy ances which have driven the President into the strait in which he is so painfully placed. It is from his own full and free will that Ai. Louis Napoleon undertakes to solve such a difficult problem as that of repealing the law of May 31 without openly breaking with the majority, who regard that law as the basis and the corner stone of its policy. It is, therefore, for M. Louis B )naparte alone to seek art issue from thin strait. In remaining an impassable and cool spectator, the country understand and keeps its character. When we say that the problem is difficult, we forget that other writers have found the means of simplifying it. To set aside the obstacle which the resolution of the President is to meet with in the majority of the Assembly, these writers, who are known to be fertile in expedients, have suggested the plan of suppressing the majority. There is no lorger a majority. This expression gets rid of the difficulty. Such a puerile remark does not merit to he seriou4ly discussed. We are aware that the Parliamentary majority is composed of several parties, which, on a capital but reserved question, have contrary views and hopes and engagements ; we kno s that it has amongst it Legitimatists, and Orlean ists, and Fusionists. Bat wnat we also know is, that beyond these reserved questions, on all others which affect the general safety, and which interest in common the great party of order, the majority has never been divi led. What we have not forgotten ie, that it gave 433 votes to this law of May 31, which it is now pro posed to repeal. We, for our parts, hope that the majority will not show itself less united in the defence and maintenance of that law than it was sixteen months ago in adopting it. Do those who say that there is no longer a majority understand themselves what they say? For, in fact, if there be not a majority to de fend the law of May 31, how can there be one for its repeal ? This is an enigma. On the other side, M. de Girardin in the Presse says— " On the 30th May, 1850, 433 representatives of the people voted for The suppression of universal suf.. frage. On the 19th Jul;, 1851, 446 representatives voted for the revision of the Constitution. Such is the double knot of a situation which cannot be untied but by obtaining from those who voted for the law of May 31 to vote against it, and that those who voted against the revision should vote for it. If the 278 representatives who voted on the 19th July, 1851, voted against the revision of the Constitution persist in that vote, the 433 representa tives who voted on the 30th of May, 1851, for the suppression of universal suffrage, will also persist in voting f , :r it. Toe 433 will justify their refusal of re-establishing universal suffrage by the refusal of the 278 to vote the revision of the Constitution. The 278, in their turn, will justify their refusal to vote the revision of the Constitution by the refusal of the 433 to vote the re-estaiiiis'ament of universal suf frage. Does not the evidence of the state of things and the imminence of this danger strike every eye that is not blinded by party spirit ? The 433 per sisted in the feeling which on the 30th of May, 1850, made them vote the suppression of universal suf frage ; the 279, persisted in the opinion which made them, on the 19th of July, 1851, vote the rejection of the revision, to what will this pertinacity and this emulation in blindness lead ? They lead, I admit, to maintain the non-eligibility of the actual holder of the presidency, but on one fatal condition—the con dition of civil wa. Who can foresee what will be the result of this civil war ? What I know is the, either the traditional monarchy, or the constitutional monarchy, or the consulate, or the empire, have only this chance of return. Let those, therefore, who logically push for ward to this civil war accept the political responsibilityof it and before history!" We read in t'nks Pa ys There •is one consideration which should induce the President of the Republic not separate the revision of the Constitutio n from the to s and inrepeal of the l aw of 31st May, in the drawing up of h t he composition o f his newMinistr y. co nsideration i s this — lt may be believed that, in e proposing the pure and simpl e re - esta b lishment of universal suffrage, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte hopes for and excites a coup d &at of the pe o pl e b y a move ment of gratitude, or by the glare of popularity. B u t if at the same time he proposes the revision, it is not only his re•election which he endeavours to s ecure, but, before all, the w ill of France, which he wishes to consult, and the Government which he wishes to strengthen and consolidate. How much better will his situation be before the Assembly with this object of public safety. It will not be a personal interest which will be at stake, but a social one.

A le.tter from Amsterdam, 18th, states that &general meeting of the Itoyal Institute had been held, and an address vot e d to the King, pray i ng hi m to dissolve thrt body. The address is drawn up in the most re opeetftil terms, an d stated that the grould3 of the ap.. plication are, that the slim of 10,00011. (20,000 fr.) a year allowed by the State to the Institute is in aufficteot to cover. its4inost indisrennble expenin, and that all its application.; for an increase to the grant have been ineffectual. This step on the part of the first scientific body of the kingdom had caused a very profound sensation. THE LADY OF MANY WILLS. A lady, of considerable beauty and still young, died a few weeks ago, says the Constitutionnel, at the Batignolles. As she had lived alone, the juge de paix of the district took possession of her furni ture and her effects on behalf of the heirs. Amongst other things was a rather large collection of richly bound books. On opening one of the volumes, the juge de paix found a w ill : in a second there was a second will, and in nearly all the others there were others. Each of these wills was of a different date, and each constituted a different person universal legatee. These legatees were all young men—officers of the army, advocates, shopmen, artists, actors, students, a rchitects, physicians—in short of every profession, and of almost every class of society. Inquiries having been instituted, it was ascertained that the lady had married eight or ten years before, but, being of a romantic disposition, had soon vio lated her fidelity to her husband, and having aban doned him, had ,indulged openly in intrigues with every young wan who struck her fancy. Her re lations with each were, however, of short duration, owing to the fickleness of her disposition ; but having, it appears, a sort of monomania for making wills, she regularly drew up one in favour of every new lover. Each will thus set aside that which preceded it ; but the last of all was valid. The juge de paix caused the person named in this last one to be sought for, and he turned out to be a y oun g artist without fortune. He was warmly congratulated on . his good luck, and calculated on being placed com fortable circumstances for life—the lady having an income of 30,000 f. a year. But a few days ago the husband presented himself, and destroyed all the ar tist's hopes by producing his marriage contract, which established him inheritor of a ll his wife might leave at her death.

HEALTFIOF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The total number of deaths registered in the metropolitan districts in the week ending last Satur day was 981. They exhibit a small increase on those of the preceding week, when the amount was 953. Taking for comparison corresponding weeks of the ten years 1841-50, it appears that the average was 906 ; but if this average be raised in proportion to the increase of persons now living in London, it be comes 997, which differs not much from last week's mortality. Last week 425 children died under 15 years of age, 367 persons who had reached 15 years, but had not attained to 60, and 184 who were of 60 years and upwards. The table of fatal causes shows that 229 persona, 158 of whom were children, were carried oft by one or other of the twenty-one diseases that are classed as " epidemic." These diseases in the aggregate do not at present produce a mortality equal to the aver age of corresponding weeks ; but under particular heads, namely typhus and diarrhcea, the numbers ex ceed the usual amount at this season. Typhus was fatal in 67 cases last week (the average being 53), and this disease appears to be on the increase. In the Church sub- dis trictof Bethnal -green three deaths from typhus occurred on the 11th, 12th, and 15th October, at the respective ages of 14, 16, and 23 years ; the first in Cumberland-place, the second in North-street, and the third in Trafalgar-place. Mr. Briggs, the registrar, reports that the occupiers in these loca lities complain of the bad state of the drains. Scarlatina in this return numbers 43 cases, while the corrected average of corresponding weeks is 58. Though the mortality, as collected over the whole metropolis, is not remarkable, the complaint has fallen severely on particular families. At 3, Lower Chapman-street, in St. George in the East, the daughter of a shoemaker died at the age of eight months from " exhaustion consequent on scarlatina (12 days)." This (says Mr. Chatwood) is the second child that has died in one family within 9 days. The father attributes the illness of both to noxious effluvia arising from an uncovered cesspool in the yard of the house. In Walwoith, at Laurel Cottage, Hill street, on the 9th and 13th Oct., two daughters of a musician, aged respectively 18 and 3 years, died of scarlatina, the former after 21 days' illness, the latter after 14 days. Mr. Turner, the registrar, mentions that " four members of this family have died of this disease since the end of September, the first two seve rally on the Ist and 31 of October. Four others have been suffering from it, but are now recovering. The family, which consisted of 12 persons, occupy a small house of four rooms." In the same sub-district, at 26, Portland- street, the son of a journeyman brass • finisher, aged 3 years, died of " scarlatina (7 days)." This is the second death in the family from the same com plaint within G days, one having occurred on the 9th, and the second on the 15th October. Also in Wel worth, at 7, llela-and-cicken-lane, two sons of a warehouseman, aged respectively 3 and 9 years, died, the former of " scarlatina maligna (7 days), the latter of " scarlatina (1 month), dropsy (7 days)." Of five children in this family the two now mentioned died on the 12th and 15th October, two are convales cent, and one is in a doubtful condition. Besides the above, Mr. Turner in this weekly return reports three deaths from scarlatina in various streets, and adds that the disease is very prevalent throughout the whole of his district. Fifteen deaths, only one of which was that of an adult, were registered last week as caused by small pox. Two cases, in which it is stated that vaccina tion had been previously performed, occurred to a child of 7 months and a man aged 30 years. With reference to a case which proved fatal in Camden town, and in which vaccination had been performed without effect, Mr. 101 l states that two other chil dren in the family had been successfully vaccinated and escaped the contagion. An infant is also regis tered this week who died of chicken-pox. Diarrhcoi, which numbers 42 deaths, continues to decline, though it is still rather more fatal than usual for this late period of the year. The following case also occurred on the 12th October, at 3, Port-place, St. Peter, W a l wor th : —A j ourne yman baker, aged 43 years, " choleric disease of stomach and bowels (24 hours), death by asthenia." .

Mr. H olmes es adds that " this is about the worst part of Gray's Inn lane : some of the houses are in a filthy state." In Camberwell, at 4, Elizabeth-place, Wyndham. road, on the 15th of October, the widow of a porter, aged 45 years, died of " disease of the heart and hypertrophy.i' Mr. Searle states that " this is the widow of Anthony Fawcett, who, on the 30th ult., murdered t wo o f his children, and afterwards com mitted suicide, being at the time in a state of in sanity."

The North Riding Handicap. LAW INTELLIGENCE COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 22. (Before Mr. Commissioner HoLRoYD.) IN It /3 WILLIAMS. The bankrupt, William Williams, was a contractor of Ashford. This was the certificate meeting. The balance-sheet, from the 31st of December, 1846, to the 9th of July, 1851, shows the following :—Cre ditors, unsecured, 3,486/. ; mortgages, interest, and ground-rent, 3,4551.; surplus Dec. 31, 1646, 6,5801.; profits, 1 6851. ; household furniture, 1591.; property mortgaged, value estimated at 4,580/. ; Williams and Betts, being capital transferred to them, 4,8271. ; in terest on mortgages, 1,045/. ; losses, 3,640/. ; trade expenses, 35/. ; domestic, 9051. Mr. LAWEANCE, who appeared for the assignees, offered no opposition. He said that it appeared at the commencement of the balance-sheet the bankrupt had a surplus of 6,500/., which consisted of a working plant, which was transferred to the new firm; his partner, Mr. Betts, had also a capital. The firm of which the bankrupt was a member were contractors. Mr. Betts was the largest creditor by far, and he made no complaint. The working plant was well worth the money to the bankrupt if he had been al lowed to realise it himself. The losses arose from a Government contract to make extensive works at the harbour at Harwich, but the difficulties were so great that the partner, a gentleman of very great experi ence, insisted upon the works being discontinued, in stead of going on for an indefinite period, involving many more thousand pounds. The result was, that as the contract turned out so unfortunate, the bank rupt found himself in these difficulties. His draw ings out had been very reasonable. The COMMISSIONER—There is not ts satisfactory statement in the official assignee's report as to the books, but under all the circumstances the bankrupt is entitled to a cerficate of the second class. IX VI HEAL. The bankrupt was a bookseller in Shoe-lane. This was the last examination meeting. The following items are on the balance-sheet :—Creditors, 5021.; ditto holding security, 2551.; profits, 4651.; debtors, good, doubtful, and bad, 146/.; property realised, 130/. ; lease assigned, 2041. ; trade expenses, 473/. ; domestic and personal, 2551 ; losses, 376/. The above extend over a period of about 14 months. Mr. FOSTER, for the assignees, offered no opposi tion to the bankrupt passing. The bankrupt passed. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Oct 22. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates, at Clerkenwell.) The Court sat this morning to take what are deno minated " bail cases," of, which there were eight in the paper of the day. Charles Falhner, a marine store dealer, with a shop on Eyre-street-hill, and W. Thomas Jackson, also a marine storekeeper in Turnmill-street, Clerkenwell, were indicted, charged with having stolen, and also for having feloniously received, forty pounds weight of tinfoil, of the value of 21., the property of Messrs. Simpson and Emsley, of Union-buildings, Gray's Inn-lane. Mr. Huddleston and Mr. O'Brien conducted the case for the prosecution ; Mr. Parry and Mr. Met calfe defended the prisoner Falkner; and Mr. Ballan tine appeared for Jackson. It appeared from the evidence that on the 9th of June last two detective officers of the G division, of the names of Fisher and Archer, were on duty in Gray's Inn-lane, when their attention was arrested by a cart which belonged to a man named Usher, a dealer and collector of old metal. A quantity of old lead and brass were apparently in the cart. They made a search in the cart, when they discovered about 40 pounds of tinfoil covered over, which was in an unfinished state. Having some suspicion that all was not right as to the way in which Usher had obtained possession of the foil, they informed him that he must consider himself in their custody. After a little in quiry it was ascertained that the foil was the pro perty of the present prosecutors, from whose premiss those gentlemen suspected it had been stolen. Al though they were not able to fix upon any particular date at which the robbery had been committed, yet they were of opinion that it must have been between the 7th and 9th of June. Upon Usher being taken before the magistrate, he stated that he bad purchased the foil from a person named Falkner, at his shop, in the regular way of business, and that the price he had paid for it had been 7;1 per pound, and then he called Falkner forwards as a witness in sup port of this statement, but that person totally denied having had anything to do with the foil, and there fore that he had ever sold it to him. Usher, having heard this denial with astonishment, asserted that he could prove the fact by witnesses if the magistrate would adjourn the inquiry. A remand of the case was therefore accorded. Usher was liberated on bail, and Falkner ordered to be in attendance on the day sp. pointed for the second hearing. Falkner, however, failed to perform his promise, and when his name was called there was no reply. From that period, not withstanding the officers, as well as Usher himself, were in search of him, he was not heard anything of until the 22d of the month, when he was discovered living at Ivy Cottage, Camberwell, where it was stated he was residing on account of his health. The police having obtained a clue to the locality where he was residing, set a watch upon the movements of Falkner's wife, and on Saturday night, the 3d of July, followed her in a chaise to the cottage at Cam berwell. Having traced his wife to this cottage, the two officers entered it, and found Falkner, his wife and family, and a Jew, at supper. Falkner, on being told that he was to consider himself in custody, and that it was their intention to convey him to the sta tion in Lock's-fields, requested that they would per mit him to go there in his own chaise. This request the officers assented to, and as Archer was in the act of conducting him out of the cottage by the front door Falkner managed to give him the slip ; and then, when Fisher tried to intercept him, he was attacked by Mrs. Falkner and the Jew, whereupon Falkner effected his escape. Mrs. Falkner and the Jew were subsequently committed to Kingston gaol for this assault, the latter for a fortnight and the wife for a mouth. Falkner contrived to evade the vigi lance of the police until the 15th of September, on which day he gave notice, through his attorney, ifr. Wontner, that it was his intention to surrender and meet the charge. Before that act of surrender, how ever, had been accomplished Falkner was apprehended by a sergeaat of the G division, when walking in Holborn. When the prisoner was afterwards brought before the magistrate he stated that he had purchased the foil in question of a person of the name of Jackson, and that he had paid as much as 60. a pound for it. He then called upon Jack• son to corroborate his statement. That person refused to do anything of the sort, or even to be sworn ; but a man of the name of Bright having been then called up he declared that he had been a witness to the sale of the foil by Jackson and to the purchase of it by Falkner. This witness added, that this transaction had taken place in the open shop of Falkner, whither the foil had been taken by Jackson. With reference to Jackson, the chief points against him were, his having stated that he knew the person from whom he had received the foil, and that it could not be identified, as the goods were in an unfinished state ; and then the fact of his having refused to give up the name of that individual. The stolen property was unquestionably identified as belonging to the prosecutors, and it was proved that its value in its present unfinished state was not less than ls. ld.per lb. Usher, on being now called, stated that upon the day on which he had made the purchase of this foil of Falkner, the latter had been sent for by the former to fetch away some metal from his shop an Eyre -street bill. He went at dusk, and among the articles he bought of him on that occasion was this tinfoil, for which he paid 7id. per lb. He bought the articles in the customary way over the counter while two other persons were present. _ _ Cross-examined—He bad had dealings with Falk ner for about 10 months prior to this particular trans action. He bought some pewter pots as well as the tinfoil, and he considered that he had given a fair market price for all the articles. The tinfoil be had considered not to be at all superior in quality to the best pewter. He had been a dealer in old metal for 10 or 12 years. It was the custom of the trade for one dealer in old metals to sell to another, even though it were only at a profit of ls. per cwt. The amount of the purchase he made of Falkner on this occasion was 6/. 18s. 11d. He was in the company of the officers when they followed Mrs. Falkner in the horse and chaise from Eyre-street-hill to Ivy Cottage, Camberwell. The wife was also in a chaise. It was about midnight on the 3d of July. At the time he was before the magistrate in the month of September Falkner confessed that he had bought the foil of Jackson, and that he had sold it to him self. Falkner also called upon Jackson to corrobo rate his statement as to this fact, but that person re fused to be sworn. He had used every effort to ob tain the apprehension of Falkner with a view to the clearance of his own character. W. Eyares, lately the proprietor of the Red Lion yard Me ,vs, Clerkenwell, proved having been present when Falkner purchased the foil of Jackson ; and further, that after Usher had been apprehended he had accompanied Falkner to Jackson's, to whom, when they saw the former, he communicated the fact of the person having been taken into custody to whom he bad sold the metal, and he then requested that Jackson would tell him the name of the party of whom he bad bought it, for if he were himself to be called upon be would be obliged to say whom he had purchased it from. Jackson said, " It you do I shall deny it, and you will only get yourself into trouble. The foil wa s in an unfinished state, and they cannot tell where it came from, or identify it." Jackson , in the converse tion also added that he knew whom he had got it of— the person who had had the metal to finish—but as it was not in a fir...islr:d attte it could not be sworn to. Jackson eventually declined to give up the name of that person. In his cross-examination the witness said that Falk nor, who was in bad health, had occupied Ivy Cottage three months before this transaction. He had gone with a horse and chaise to bring Falkner's wife from Kingston gaol, on the expiration of her imprisonment for the assault upon the officers at the time when her husband had made his escape at Ivy Cottage. Palk ner accompanied him on that occasion. John Gunn, sergeant in the police, G 8, said that after the first examination he had gone to Jackson's, and upon entering into conversation with him that person said, " I suppose you came about Falkner's business." His reply to this remark was, " I un derstand he bought the goods of you." Jackson thereupon added, " I suppose Falkner told you so." The witness said " No; I don't care so much about the selling, but what I want you to tell me is, who the thief is on Mr. Simpson's premises." Jackson re " I did sell it to him, but as to the other ques tion, I shall think about it." A day was appointed for him to see Jackson again, but on the 21st of June he met him by chance in Leather-lane, when he asked him if he bad considered the matter. Jackson said, "If Falkner comes it on me it will be all the worse for him; but as he has not, why should I bother about the other poor devil ?" Mr. PARRY, on behalf of Falkner, admitted that his client had been guilty of egregious folly in telling a wilful untruth, by at first denying that he had sold the foil to Usher, and then in keeping out of the way; but he submitted that his conduct subsequently was an ample atonement for those acts of foolishness. At the time that Falkner had effected his escape from the officers he had been for some period in very ill health, and therefore it was by no means improbable but that his subsequent conceal ment had been the result of fear and timidity. When that feeling, however, had subsided, the prisoner had come forward like an honest man to meet the charge, and had not merely challenged Jackson to tell the trutb, but had brought forward evidence to corrobo rate his own statement upon the subject. It was im possible to doubt that Falkner's original denial of having sold the foil to Usher had been the result of Jackson's threat when applied to by him to confirm his statement of the fact. Mr. BALLANTINE then made an eloquent address in favour of Jackson. The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence with great minuteness. The jury consulted for twenty minutes, and then returned a verdict of Not Guilty, as to both prisoners upon the count charging them with the theft, but they found Jackson Guilty of receiving the foil know ing it to have been stolen, and Acquitted Falkner on that count. The Learned JUDGE said he fully concurred in this verdict, and he hoped it would be a warning to Falk ner not again to purchase goods in an unfinished state without making the inquiry. With respect to Jackson, he entertained not the least doubt but that he well knew the person from whom he had received the foil, and that be was a workman ; nor did he doubt that ha had had other transactions with the same man. What the Learned Counsel for that prisoner bad said was perfectly true, namely, that if his client were found guilty, such a vercict would send him out of the country, and most certainly it would do so ; for that Court would in all oases where receivers were convicted, visit them with transportation, for the re ceivers were the great abettors of crime and produced more than one-half of the thefts which were com mitted. The sentence upon the prisoner was, trans portation for ten years. The trial occupied the whole of the day, and the court was most uncomfortably crowded from the com mencement until its termination. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Thomas Robert Mellish, manager, and James Douglas, clerk, to the Patent Silvering Glass Com pany, in Berners-street, were brought up on a second charge of conspiring together to defraud the com pany. The previous charge against the prisoners, on which they stand committed, was for forging and uttering certain receipts for money with intent to de fraud the company. The case yesterday took the form of a charge of conspiracy against both prisoners, it being alleged that they had for a length of time acted in concert in charging a higher amount of wages to the com pany than the actual amounts received by the work men. Mellish, as manager, bad the hiring of the workmen and the settling f the rate of wages they were to receive ; Douglas, as Mellish's clerk, had the paying of the workmen, the money being given to him by the cashier on production of the wages-book. Mellish had constant access to the book, and, as it was subsequently discovered that the rate of wages to the workmen was entered in the book at a higher figure than the sums actually received by them, a charge of conspiracy was made against both in con sequence of the largeness of the amount fraudulently abstracted from the company, exceeding 3,0001., it being inferred that Mellish, from his position as ma nager, must have been cognizant of what was going on, notwithstanding Douglas had declared himself to be the only guilty party. Charles Case, silver mounter, in the employ of the company, said he was engaged at the wages of 225. a week. He was ill for seven weeks this year, during which period he was away from work, receiving no wages. In the wages-book a sum amounting to 71. was entered, as if paid to him during the time of his illness. He had not received any such sum. Benjamin Dean, the cashier, proved that he paid the prisoner Douglas the amount entered in the wages-book as having been received by the last witness. Samuel Perry, another workman, had been hired by Mellish at 20s. a week. Afterwards got a rise to 225. On the 22d of August last saw the wages-book open, and noticed that he was down as receiving 245. a-week. Gave information to his employers, which led to an investigation, and the subsequent apprehen sion of the prisoners. Mr. Dean proved that he paid Douglas at the rate of 245. a week for the last witness. The prisoners reserved their defence and were fully committed on this charge. Eliza Cochrane was charged on suspicion of having been concerned with her husband in stealing 300 sove reigns, one 201. bank-note, six 51. notes, 800 francs in French money, and three notes of 100 francs each, the property of Mr. P. Duvelleray, fan maker, 167. Regent •street. The prosecutor said the prisoner's husband was in his employ as porter. On Tuesday evening he ab sconded, and immediately afterwards the property , above enumerated was missed. The prisoner's lodg ings were searched, and some small articles belonging to him were found. Police-constable Jarman, C 34, said he went to the prisoner's lodgings yesterday, and found her with her boxes packed up, and herself dressed ready to go out. She told him her husband had gone out, and would be back in half an hour. She said her husband desired her to pack up, as his uncle was ill, and they must go into the country directly. Witness waited half an hour, and than took the prisoner to the station-house, as there were articles of property in the lodgings iden tified by the prosecutor. The prisoner said, all she knew was that her hus band told her to pack up everything by the time he came home.—Remanded. WORSHIP-STREET. Richard Morgan and William George Stewart, and a middle-aged woman named Eliza Roberts, the two former well known to the police as practised utterers of base coin, were placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyn court upon numerous charges of the same description. The female prisoner's plan of operations was appa rently confined to defrauding surgeons, upon one of whom, a Mr. Sweetman, a surgeon in St. John-street, she called, and after purchasing a powder or pills, tendered base money in payment. The fraudulent coin was detected, and the prisoner transferred to Clerkenwell Police-court, but as neither the Mint nor the magistrates like to commit or prosecute for a single offence, which may possibly he purely accidental, she was discharged withont punishment, and a few days afterwards favoured Mr. Baker, a surgeon in Dorchester-place, New North-road, with a visit of a similar character, and again passed counterfeit coin upon him also. In this case she was likewise de tected and given into custody, and, the spurious coin having been fortunately preserved by the officer in the first charge, although she had been temporarily liberated upon it, she was now committed upon both charges. Morgan and Stewart appeared to act upon m uc h the same plan, though somewhat different from the woman's ; Morgan called at a wine -merchant's ware house on Oxford-terrace, Mile-end, and, ordering a quantity of refined spirits, tendered a base five shilling piece in payment. The coin was pronounced to be bad by the merchant's clerk, Mr. Joy, but the pri soner, with much effrontery, declared it to be good, and demanded his full change. Finding that he was likely, however, to be intrusted to the care of an officer if he stopped, he suddenly sneaked out and took rapidly to his heels, and was next heard of at the house of a baker in Whitechapel, of whom he had or dered a loaf, and tendered bad money in payment. Green and Macintosh, constables of the H division, produced both the fraudulent coins, and Morgan and Stewart, who had pursued so precisely the same course as to excite some suspicion that they acted in concert, and the latter with so much apparent since rity and ingenious indignation at such practises that he nearly escaped detection in one instance, were jointly committed to Newgate for trial upon four other charges.

EVENING, OCTOBER 23, 1851. at about a quarter to ten o'clock, he was on duty in Cromer-street, when the prisoner's mother came to witness bleeding profusely from a wound near her throat, and her ear was nearly bit off. She informed him that the prisoner returned home and demanded money of her, and on refusing to let him have it, he attacked her in a brutal manner and inflicted the in juries on her person with a knife. Witness instantly went and took the prisoner into custody, and locked him up, after a desperate resistance, in which he fought, bit, and kicked at witness, and he was now suffering severe pain from the violence of the prisoner. The witness added that the prisoner was an idle, skulking, profligate fellow, who had frequently been in custody, and imprisoned for similar assaults upon him, and he had only just been released from the House of Correction, where he had been confined two months under a conviction for having stabbed his sister. His mother bad her wounds dressed by a surgeon, but on this, as on other occasions, she de clined making her appearance to prosecute. Mr. COMBR, however, determined on hearing the whole of the case, and deciding on the charge of as sault upon the constable. Mr. Comas—What have you to say to the charge ? Prisoner (sullenly)—Nothing. _ Mr. COMIIE sentenced him to one month's im prisonment, with hard labour, in the House of Cor rection. Clara Thurling, the young woman who was charged with attempting suicide by cutting her throat with a penknife, and remanded, was again placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwbitt for final examination. It will be recollected that the prisoner was housemaid in the service of Mr. Smith, of Palatine-house, Stoke New ington. She exhibited obstinacy of temper, and im pertinently refused to obey the orders of Miss Smith, her young mistress, when she received notice to quit her situation, and she was subsequently found in her bedroom with her throat cut, having inflicted a wound with a penknife, and her person was covered with blood. A doctor was called in and he dressed the wound, and she was given into custody. The prisoner's mother, a respectable looking woman, attended in grief. Mr. TYItWiIITT, in a feeling address to the pri soner, said it was a most lamentable and melancholy thing to find a decent girl like the prisoner making such a rash attempt upon her life. He did hope dur ing her imprisonment she had reflected upon the wickedness of the act she had committed, and would shun such an attempt in future and go home with her mother. The prisoner said she had reflected properly on her offence; she was very sorry, and would not re peat it. Mr. TIRwIIITT—Then go home with your mother. I shall discharge you now ; and keep to your promise. She then left with her mother. SOUTHWARK. Joseph Nye was charged with wilfully administer ing poison to Ann Godding. Sergeant Wright, M division, stated that the woman Godding was so seriously ill from the effects of the poison alleged to have been administered to her that she was rendered incapable of attending the exa mination, and was at present under medical treat ment. The sergeant then proceeded to state, that from information he received on the previous day re specting the affair, he went to the prisoner's lodgings and found that he was absent. He (the sergeant), however, waited about the neighbourhood and suc ceeded in taking him into custody late on the previous night. When be apprised the prisoner of the nature of the charge against him, and said that it was for administering poison to Ann Godding, his answer was—" Ob, it was only done in a lark. There were others in the room 'when it occurred, and no harm was intended." The circumstances attending the offence with which the prisoner is charged occurred on Monday ; on which day, about two o'clock, the prisoner called at the woman Godding's lodgings, in Delf-street, Kent-street. On entering the room where she was, he took a raspberry tart ou t o f hi s pocket, and, offering it to her, invited her to take it. She at first refused, but upon his pressing her she was at length induced to comply, and in his presence partook of the greater part of it. The prisoner remained there, and in about half-an-hour after she had eaten the tart he asked het; how she felt. She replied that she felt nausea or sickness at the stomach, and a nasty taste in her mouth. His remark to that was, " You will feel a good deal worse before you are better ;" and then added, " I have only given you a Spanish fly and a half." Soon afterwards she became so alarm ingly ill that the people in the house were compelled to send for a medical gentleman, who pronounced that she was labouring under the effects of cantharides, and if immediate steps had not been taken to neutra lise the effects of the poison, there was little doubt but it would have proved fatal. As it was, the poor woman was much debilitated from the quantity she had taken, but was considered much better, and would be enabled to attend the next examination.
