- Otrbi Mlttton GERMANY. The Swabian Mercury publishes the outlines of the new constitution of the Germanic Confederation which Austria proposes to submit to the consideration of the Council of States which she has assembled at Frankfort. This constitution is a combination of all projects which formerly have been started to meet the difficulties of the question, viz.—a Directory, in which Prussia and Austria preside by rotation, while the lesser states are represented in batches (grupp enzre i s ) ; and, in addition, a representation of the people, or rather of the 'peoples, proceeding from the Diets of the individual states. The Austrian Monarchy, with all its Crown lands and dependencies, is to form part of this Confederation. The Kolner Zeitung has the following remarks re specting . this plan, and its chances of success :—" In the first instance we are bound again to repeat that a union of Germany, which exceeds the limit of an international alliance, with the Austrian Monarchy, composed as it is of a majority of non- German states, is neither founded o n na t ura l wan t s nor supporte d b y historical precedents. Indeed, a want or necessity is quite out of the question. Germany is large enough and strong enough for all reasonable purposes, and the only thing she wants is, to be left alone and undisturbed. But a disturbance it would make if she were brought into contact and bound up with a variety of foreign and semi-barbarous elements. Whatever advantages such an union might offer to Germany are equally attain able by common alliances and treaties, and there is nothing which could indemnify us for our loss of cha racter, weight, and strength, if the foreigner were entitled to dictate to us in our own affairs. As for the system of representing the lesser states in batches (gruppen system), we can only say that it deprives those states of that independence and equality in the Confederation which Prussia at all times claimed for them." Ensign Bell deposed to conversing with him in the square, and he was sober. Mr. Gingell deposed to talking to him before mounting guard, to seeing him go through the usual routine of duty on guard, and that he was sober. The defence was, that Captain S. was, from his residence in the West Indies and the coast of Africa, subject to vertigo, especially after exposure to the sun, and was so seized. Dr. Barry, P.M.P., proved on oath that a person who had been abroad might be so affected, and espe cially at a time when the air was impure ; that he would then present appearances similar to a drunken man. The Court at one o'clock deliberated on their verdict. The result of the decision will not be officially known until the proceedings have been sent to Eng land, as the general has no power to confirm the pro ceedings of any court in which the penalty of death or cashiering is the award. It is currently reported (upon what grounds I am ignorant) that the sentence is fatal to Captain Steevens' commission, but that he is strongly recommended to mercy. All who know the captain hope most cordially that his commission may be saved —or, at least, the regulated price—in case of a fatal verdict. EXTRAORDINARY GALE IN THE CHANNEL. LOSS OF LIFE AND RIVER BOATS. (From the Liverpool Albion.) On Saturday evening a storm arose in the Channel, which was marked by most extraordinary charac teristics of violence, and was, perhaps, unprecedented in the suddenness with which it burst over the waters. The principal sufferers were the small boats, or gigs, out on speculating excursions for employment in connexion with the vessels coming into port. A great number of these left the river, as usual, during the night and the early part of the morning, with the wind north-east and :a perfect calm, so that there was no reason to apprehend the slightest danger, and many of them ventured out a greater distance than usual. About nine o'clock the wind veered round to the south-west, and there were slight indications of a coming storm, but nothing serious was anticipated. About half-past nine, or thereabouts, the wind had assumed a more westerly direction, and was accom panied by a drizzling rain. In an hour afterwards a strong gale sprung up from the W.N.W., and the change is described to have taken place as unexpec tedly:as a flash of lightning or a clap of thunder. Such was the strength of the gust that the small craft were, with the greatest difficulty, preserved,from being capsized at the onset, and a heavy sea setting in, they were tossed about like so many shells upon the waves. It required the greatest skill to keep them from being turned over or filled with water. Two of the gigs, in different parts of the Channel, were completely overpowered, and that much life was not sacrificed is only owing to those efforts of huma nity which are occasionally called forth, and which, in fact, constitute a trait in the character of Bri tish seamen, and are, with rare exceptions, exer cised in every case of danger and distress where a fellow-creature calls on them for aid. Shortly after the gale commenced a boat called the John, owned by a man named L oc k, was de scried by Capt. Bell, of the Jenny Lind steamer, about a mile and a half outside the North- wes t Lightship. She was evidently in great distress, and the cap tain's attention was particularly direct( d to her by thinking that she belonged to Peter Cropper, who, with his men, had breakfasted on board the steamer at six o'clock in the morning, and had afterwards left in quest of a ship. Captain Bell no sooner saw the boat and the state she was in than he determined at all hazards to go to her assistance. The sea was raging tremendously at the time, beating over the paddle-box and the funnel, and the waves were of such magnitude and strength that even the powerful steamer seemed in the greatest peril. The John, when first observed from the steamer, would be about a mile distant, and it was only oc casionally that she could be seen in con sequence of the foam by which she was sur rounded. At one time it was feared that she had en tirely disappeared, but, shortly afterwards, she was observed again, a large wave having washed over her. In another moment she was capsized, and rolled over three times, and her crew, consisting of three men , named Richard Gordon, Joseph Davies, and John M'Gowan, were struggling in the water for their lives. ..XieGosvan and Gordon succeeded in getting on the keel of the boat, and held fast by their hands and knees, whilst the third, Davies, kept himself up with the rigging and the oars. The Jenny Lind proceeded towards the drowning men as fast as possible, and, a screw-steamer being in advance, Captain Bell hailed it to lower a boat and assist in saving the men. This yes • sel being much nearer to the scene of the disaster, and having proper boats on board, was much better quali fied to save life than the Jenny Lind. But, although Captain Bell shouted to them till he was hoarse, no one on board paid the least heed to his appeals be yond looking over the bulwarks at the men who were struggling for their lives. We have not ascertained the name of the vessel, but, doubtless, inquiry will I be made, which will lead to its discovery. Cap tain Bell also hailed an Irish steamer, which im mediately stopped its engine; b u t th e Jenny Lind had by this time approached near enough to render all the assistance that could be afforded under the circumstances. The object of those on board the Jenny Lind wa s t o ge t a l ongs id e t h e men, so as to reach them with the lifebuoy without increasing their danger, and this was a m ovemen t w hi c h re quired considerable caution. However, it was soon accomplished, and the means of safety were first of all extended to the unfortunate man Davies, who was supporting himself upon the rigging, and appeared nearly exhausted. The man immediately grasped the buoy and was as quickly dragged on board the steamer. Not a moment was lost in throwing the buoy to the other men, and it was seized with avidity by M'Gowan, who was also r escue d. As he left th e k ee l o f the boat his companion called out to him for help, and caught hold of his leg. The buoy was again thrown, but Gordon, unable to hold out any longer, had let go his hold of the keel and sunk. Another moment might have saved him. It is supposed that the men had been in the water nearly half-an-hour. At first they gave themselves up for lost, but, when the screw steamer neared them, they had some hope, and called out to one another to keep up their hearts. They were, however, disappointed in their expec tations of help from that quarter. It is said that poor Gordon at once gave way to despair, and called upon God to protect his wife and family. Davies and M'Gowan were supplied with hot coffee and clothing on board the Jenny Lind, and soon sufficiently re - covered to express their gratitude to Captain Bell end his crew, who had so nobly rescued them from death. It is true their thanks were conveyed in rough and ready phrase, but they were none the less sincere. An effort was made to save the boa', but this was found impracticable in consequence of the heavy sea which prevailed. The Jenny Lind, as it returned to Liverpool, passed a sunken gig to the west of the Wharf Buoy, Rock Channel. This would in all probability be the Frank, a gig which had been capsized abreast of Dove-bank, about nine miles out. It appears that the Frank, with four men, was towing alongside of a ship called the Juno, and another small boat, the Ellen, owned by Daniel Roydan, was towing astern the same vessel, with a complement of three men. When the gale set in both boats were in imminent peril, and it appeared inevitable that they would be lost. The Frank, however, from some cause or other, as yet unexplained, appeared in the greatest danger ; and eventually the crew lost all control over their boat, and it was overturned. The men kept hold as long as they could, but in a few minutes they were scattered amidst the waves in different directions. This was a trying moment for the hands in the other gig. It was as much as they could do to preserve themselves from a similar fate ; and to unloose them selves from the ship, in order, if possible, to save the drowning, would i ncrease their risk. ' They, however, boldly resolved to run the hazard, and they im me di ate l y let go from the larger vessel and launched themselves forth to the assistance of those who called for help. The storm was now at its height, and the waves every moment threatened them with a watery grave. The obscured over them, by men in the water waterwashed and it was obvious that if the utmost exert i ons were not used they would be entirely lost. They were some yards distant from each other, and having picked up one, the boat had to be directed on a different course to take up another. Eventually, they were all rescued ; but it was only by extraordi nary effort and unexampled brave ry. boat, had u Cummings, who was the owner of the capsized oar and u he wasois body nlysa anvedbd buoyingy one oftheimennforcin thengan meantime the boat had become half full of water, and it would sink. w as o expected ,e of t e h v e e r m men, momennamed that she t t was so impressed with this conviction that he if ac tually took off his clothes and shoes in order, ne cessary, to swim for his life. We are happy to say that the precaution proved unnecessary, and that, after encountering one of the most violent gales ever experisnc( d in this Channel, they arrived safely at the Prince's Basin about noon. Several other boats were also placed in jeopardy, and it is feared that more were lost than those men tioned. One belonging to Thomas Neale, which was missing for some time, turned up late in the after noon, having taken refuge at Crosby Lightship. The unfortunate man Gordon, who was drowned, was, we believe, very steady and deserving, and he has left a wife and family of young children to deplore his loss. The poor woman, who is near her confinement, is in the greatest distress. This is' certainly a case which should recommend itself to the benevolent, and we gladly yield to the suggestion HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, SEPT. 21.—1 n consequence of a reso lution lately passed by the Netherlands Government, all the duties, octrois, and tolls hitherto imposed by the Government on the Netherlands Rhine were abo lished in favour of every flag on that river on the 15th instant. The Government has, however, reserved to itself the privilege of claiming the various dues from those Ri verian States which shall impose less favourable conditions upon the Netherlands flag than upon their own. The energy of the Government in taking this step while the question relative to aboli tion, whole or partial, of those dues is a matter of intricate deliberation by the Rhenish Navigation Company Commissioners, will very materially lessen the difficulty of their task. There can be no doubt that the other Governments will do the same. The Netherlands Government has likewise abolished all transit duties on its territory, and the navigation dues on the Yssel ; similar measures are in progress relative to the duties levied by France and Belgium, the Riverain states of that river. The commission charged with the liquidation of the succession of his late Majesty William IL, has ap pointed some members to examine the accounts and the works of the edifice which his Majesty had built at the Hague.—Dutch Papers. . DE LAROCHEJAQUELIN AND THE LEGITIAIATISTS. The following is a translation of the letter addressed by M. de Lirochejaquelin to the editor of the .F4yene ment in reply to the manifesto of the Count de Chambord : " Monsieur le Redacteur,—Neither the officious articles published in several journals, nor the semi official letter of M. Ponjoulat (of which I was not aware until after that which I wrote to the journal the Ordre on the 4th of this month), obliged me to break be respectful silence which I intended to pre serve, but now, in presence of the mad document which you have published, I am compelled to reply to my excommunication. As regards the Logiti matists:of France, the circulars signed De Barthelemy contain the authentic signature of the five persons who are named in the manifesto which you publish. " All denial on that point would be a falsehood. It is therefore to my great regret that I must reply to an official document. I accept my excommunication in full. It is evident that we do not hold the same principles. I do not believe that legitimacy is a mystery—that the representatives of France ought to obey the erdera of the King under the Republic no more than under the Monarchy. I never had any doubt on that theory. Parliamentary faults must in future ascend higher than their authors—such is the consequence of the orders which have been issued. The legitimacy of national right com prised the expression of the national sovereignty of all the 'generations which have preceded us during 900 years. I could not End any titles more noble or more French, or rights more respectable, than those cf an institution sshfch constituted the Lw of our fathers during so many centuries. I demanded that the nation should return to the national principle— I never demanded to create it. The right of legiti macy is now represented to us as a mystery which must not be discussed, which it is dangerous to fathom. It is represented to us that the national will, freely expressed, is an attack on the rights of legitimacy. In politics I cannot defend what I do not understand. If the man holding a private station could at a respectful interview, during which no discussion was permitted, personally make his love and his unbounded devotion subservient to the desire expressed by an exiled Prince in such terms as merely suppressed, but did not repudiate, his honourable convictions, the politician cannot accept, either for himself or for his friends, the humiliation of this indescribable public manifesto, whose consequences would be as fatal to the principle of authority as to the principles of liberty. This is no longer a question of persons—it is a question of principles. I have a right to say that mine are not those of the men under whom I should have to make an act of discipline. The appeal to the nation is not, as has been said, a revolutionary act; it is the nation itself in its sovereignty putting an end to the era of revolutions. I (lid not demand an appeal to the nation on the principle of legitimacy. Every body can recollect that the question was thus stated, ' Republic or Monarchy.' The Legitituatists, by supporting them selves on the solid popular basis of an appeal to the nation, :evened all the barriers which had been raised more formidably then ever. If Monarchy had been proclaimed in principle, there would have been no thing more necessary than to show the reason, tra dition, glory, and the passed utility of legitimacy. Political parties could not, in the position which cir cumstances had placed them, do otherwise than sub mit honourably in presence of the national law of France of nine centuries, acknowledged and remem bered by the nation. They do not wish it. I cannot help that. The severity of the language of the manifesto is not moderated by a single world implying good intentions. I leave to others henceforth the care of defending those doctrines, which, in my ignorance, I believed I could main tain without being placed outside the pale of public opinion. I shall ever remain faithful to the interests of my country by obeying the laws which govern it, without troubling myself in wishing for or anticipat ing the authority to which I shall have to submit hereafter. It will be permitted me to guard religi ously in reserve, for the satisfaction of my conscience, the political symbol which has hitherto formed the faith of my whole life ; but I admit it never can be possibly applied Pf the manifesto which you have pub lished take effect. «' " H. D E L AROCHEJAQUELIN. Paris, Sept. 21, 1850.'" COURT-MARTIAL ON CAPTAIN STEEVENS, 44nr REGIMENT. MALTA, SEPT. 15.—A general court-martial as sembled on Thursday last, by order of Lieut.-General Ellice, commanding the troops, when Capt. William Steevens, 44th Regiment, was put on his trial on the following charge :—.For having been drunk on duty, and when under arms in command of the main guard, on the 7th Sept , 1850. The Court was compo3ed of Lieutenant-Colonel Emmett, R.E., President; Lieutenant-Colonel Warde, R.A. ; Major A. L. Cole, 69th ; Captain Calleja, R.M.F. ; Captain Maltei, R.M.F. ; Captain Browne, 44th ; Captain Fi e ld en , 44 t h ; C apta i n Bowen, 69t h ; Lieutenant-Colonel Paxton, 69th ; Captain O'Hallo ran, 69th; Captain Tylee, R.A.; Captain Messiter, 69th ; Captain M'Mahon, 44th ; Captain Fenwick, 44th ; and Captain Baker, R.E., members. Captain Gardiner, R.A., officiating as Deputy Judge-Advocate. The evidence for the prosecution tended to show that Captain S. was drunk at the time expressed. Lieutenant Cooper, his subaltern on duty, swore also to that point, but he also swore that half an hour be fore, at the club, he was not drunk. The prisoner's orderly, who was behind him from his leaving the club till his arrival cn the square, where the main gukard is situated, also swore that he had not seen him drink anything. A sergeant cf the guard swore he was drunk. Captain Spring, 4411, who placed him under ar rest, also swore to the same fact, as did ere or two I others. For the defence, Lieut. Tdiclethwait, 44,h, . swore that at twenty minutes to balf.past eleven he and prisoner were yachting. The prisoner steered the boat and was exposed to the sun. That from the time iof embarking till their return to Ricasoli, at half-past three P.M. they had drank three glasses of brandy and water between them, and Captain S. was sober. Th a t h e was so b er at five P.M., when he left Ricasoli for the dub; 'and again at eight P.M., when he returned to Ricasoli under arrest, as he said, for being drunk, he was sober. Ensign Blood deposed to prisoner being sober at the club before going to main guard. THE SUN, LONDON, that subscriptions should be left at the office of the Albion until some one more competent to undertake the duty shall step forward to provide for the imme diate wants of the widow and her children. The brave men to whom those saved are indebted for their deliverance should not go unrewarded, and we feel sure that we do not appeal in their behalf in vain. A YANKEE COURT OF JUSTICE. Yesterday the room of the Third District Court was the scene of a very bloody affray between three of our citizens. Dr. Dupes and Mr. D. Veau have been partners in a 32ii , mill in the third municipality, and having lately dissolved partnership, some legal proceedings have token place between them. Dr. Dupes, in settling the accounts of the partnership, was assisted by Mr. Severe Wiltz, alderman of the third municipality. Yesterday the parties met in the Third District Court, to try a rule arising from these legal disputes. The rule had been trier', and Judge Strawbridge had left his seat and the room, when an altercation arose be tween Dr. Pupas and Mr. Veau, the former charg ing the latter with not accounting for money he had collected, and the latter pronouncing it a falsehood and a calumny. Mr. Wiltz, seeing the dispute was approaching a serious issue, interfered, and stood be tween the parties, when Veau addressed to him some very abusive language, calling him a liar and a ca• lumniator, with reference to Mr. Wiltz's endorsement of Dr. Dupas's charges. Thereupon Mr. Wiltz, who is a gentleman of powerful frame, struck Veau, knock ing him down on his knees. Before he rose, Mr. Veau drew a dirk and stabbed Wiltz in the breast. Willa turned to leap over the railing separating the clerk's stand from the portion of the court-ro)m allotted to the bar, and as he did so, Veau gave him another severe cut in the thigh, but at the same time fell himself suddenly on the floor, as if he were dead. It appeared, afterwards, that he had been stabbed in the back by Dr. Dupes, who avowed the act as one done in defence of his friend. The knife, which was a very sharp one, struck the spinal column, and immediately paralyzed his lower limbs. In the meantime, Mr. Wiltz had leaped into the judge's stand and drew a pistol, when he cried out, " Gentle men, lam badly hurt," and fell in the stand. The gentlemen were, then taken up by their friends, and physicians sent for. In a little while they ar rived and examined their wounds. Mr. Wiltz was able, with the assistance of his friends, to go down the steps, and was put into a cab and carried home. His wounds are severe and painful, but not danger ous. Mr. Veau was entirely prostrated by his in jury, and it is feared that it will prove mortal. The gentlemen engaged in this unhappy affair are all highly respectable Creoles, and men of families.— New Orleans Delta. FEMALE BY DEATH OF TAKING SAVINE. On Saturday an inquest was held by Mr. Baker, at the Crown, Mary-street, Kingsland-road, upon the body of a married woman, named Harret Cole, aged 34, who had been deserted by her husband, and had died from the effects of a medicine called savine, which she had taken for the purpose of procuring abortion. Mr. John Nicholls, surgeon, Queen's-road, Dalaton, stated that the deceased, during the last three weeks, had daily called upon him with one of her children who was unwell. Deceased hersolf made no complaint. On Wednesday night last his attention was called to her. He found her in bed at her lodgings. She was suffering severely from internal pains. He heard from a female in the house that she was in the family way, and that it was supposed she had taken a decoction of savine to procure an abortion. She was fast sinking. He gave her some medicine, and she rallied a little. She died the following morning. He made a post mortem examination of the body, and found the sto • mach in a state of inflammation, which was suf ficient to cause death. The uterus contained a fretus about three months old. The inflamma tion of the stomach might have been caused by a decoction of savine. In many cases life has been sacrificed by a person taking it to procure abortion. Mr. Finer, parish surgeon cf Shore. ditch, stated that a few weeks ago the deceased called upon him to request that he would give her something to destroy the child with which she was pregnant. She offered him any money if he would, but he refused. Eliza Cleverly, a single young wo man, stated that on Tuesday last she accompanied deceased to a herbalist's at the corher of William street, Shoreditch, where she bought twopenny worth of savine. She boiled it in some water, and on Wed nesday afternoon she drank it. Soon after she was taken very ill, when witness went for a dcctor. Verdict—" That the deceased died from an inflam mation of the bowels, caused by taking a decoction of savine, and the jury cannot separate without express ing a strong opinion that great blame is attached to herbalists and others indiscriminately vending such articles."

This case was remanded from Saturday week last, in order to obtain information with regard to the note:, no difficulty in that respect being anticipated, as the numbers of all the notes were known, and in formation forwarded to the Bank to stop payment of them when presented. Mr. Wontner, who attended on behalf of the pri soner, said that the prosecutor was n o t i n a tt en d ance , and he believed that he had no intention of prosecut ing the case any further, considering the great doubt he felt with regard to the prisoner's identity. He knew prosecutor was anxious to return to America, and that this affair had alone detained him. Ile would, therefore, apply for the prisoner's discharge, as in all probability the prosecutor was already on his way to the far West. Sir G. CARRoLL said the charge was too serious to allow him to discharge the prisoner until he had more satisfactory information regarding the prose cutor's intention of proceeding with the case. Ile would remand it till Thursday next, and if the pro secutor did not appear then, he would at once dis charge the prisoner. BOW-STREET. Antonio Moltini, the foreigner who was las Satur day charged with having in his possession a number of forged notes in imitation of the notes of tha Vene tian Lombardy Bank of the Austrian empire, was brought before Mr. Henry for re-examination. The prisoner is a native of Como, and has b een emp l oye d in this country for some time as a glass and china dealer. Mr. Bush, solicitor to the Bankers' Protection Society, conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Ballan tine, assistel by Mr. Humphries, appeared for the prisoner. - Vincent Bayerd and Rodolph de Felsenthal, the Commissioners of Police from Vienna, who gave evi dence at the former examination respecting the value of the notes, were present to watch the case. Mr. Lawrence Lee, who is in partnership with his father as an ornamental lithographic printer, and carries on business at No. 245, high Holborn, proved that on Monday, the 2d inst., the prisoner en tered his shop and inquired the expense of engraving 3,000 tickets similar to the one he produced. Wit ness informed him they would cost about 2/. 15s. The ticket was printed in Italian, and witness did not understand the purport of it. On looking closely and obsk.ving a water-mark, he inquired whether the prisoner desired to have that imitated ; to which the latter rtplied, " Yes, as near as pos sible to the copy." Witness then informed him that the watermark would cause an increase of 10s. in the expense, and the prisoner assented to pay the extra charge, as he desired to have the engraving well exe cuted. His next inquiry was as to the price of two steel dies for the stamps at the corners of the tickets, but witness could give bim no estimate, and requested him to call again on the following day. Mr. Hi nay having here inquired the purport of the words on the tickets, one of which the witness pro duced, was informed by Mr. Bush that the translation was as follows : "April 1, 1849. Lombard-Venetian Kingdom. Note sof the Treasure, Austrian Lire Five. "The present note of five lire shall be accepted in payment as hard coin at the central offices,tat all the public offices, and at all the public offices of the Lam bard-tienctian Kingdom. " The Imperial Commissary Plenipotentiary, " MON TEC IIOLI." Mr. Bush added that each lire was worth about 3s. 4d. English. The examination of Mr. Lee was then proceeded with. He stated that he requested a deposit from the prisoner, who promised to call and bring one the next day. Witness was informed by the prisoner that the tickets were used on the continent by the labourers to obtain provisions before receiving their wages, and that then they paid them back to their employers. In fact the process he described was si milar to the truck system in this country. The pri soner called on the following morning and left a sovereign as a deposit, requesting witness to proceed with the work as quickly as possible. Witness then told him he could not make the dies for less than one sovereign each, upon which the prisoner said he would try to get them cheaper elsewhere, and wit ness gave him the address of several diesinkers who, he thought, would be able to make them at less ex pense than he could get them done. The prisoner then lefr, but called inverel times after wards to sae how the work proceeded, and in the mean time witness had communicated (through his father) with a foreigner, who translated the ticket for him. At length a nearly perfect proof was shown to prisoner, who expressed himself well satisfied, and then produced a note for the sum of GO lire, which he desired to have imitated, and to have 1,000 copies struck off immediately. Witness consented to do these for 51. 103. On the 10th inst. the prisoner called and ordered 3,000 of the first tickets to be struck off immediately, as he con sideied the proof shown him was quite perfect. He paid a deposit upon the second job, a n d exam i ne d an and promised t o ca ll f or the 3, imperfect proof of the plate for the sa me , i n w hi c h h e or d ereodoO some impressions few of the first job on th e f o ll ow i ng Friday. He did not come, however, un til S atur d ay, when witness (in the presence of Joh n F orres t er, t h e officer, who was in private clothes, and with whom he and his father had been in communication all along) handed the notes to him, and received the sum agreed to be paid for them, and gave the prisoner an acknowledgment for the same. Witness was in the act of showing the prisoner a proof of the second job when Forrester took him into custody on the charge. John Forrester, the Mansion-house officer, repeated his former evidence as to apprehending the prisoner, and proved having found a bundle of papers at his lodgings at the George public-house, Brook-street. Mr. Herm , reminded Mr. Bush that the evidence of some persons in the Austrian service would be ne cessary to show that the tickets were fac similes of the Austrian notes of a like value at present in cir culation in that country. The evidence of the Com missioners of Police he did not consider was sufficient for that purpose. Mr. Ballantine said the question would ultimately be, whether the prisoner acted with a guilty know ledge' or whether he was, in fact, o n ly th e agen t o f another. He (Mr. Ballantine) felt bound, from the instructions he hand received, to state, that the prie soner's defence was, that he had no guilty knowledge whatever, and was acting as agent for another, whose Dame, of course, it would be unwise at present to divulge. Mr. Bush intimated that he wee in communication with the Austrian authorities, and he trusted at the end of another week to be in a position to satisfy the Court upon the point hinted at by Mr. Henry. The prisoner was -accordingly remanded for an other week; and the witnesses who hive already been examined were bound over to prosecute. CLERICEN WELL. Three well-dressed young wome — n . , who give the names Sophia Emmett,, Mary Ann Wicks., and Sophia Burton, were put at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt charged with robbing Mr. John Smith, a naval officer, of 18 sovereigns and some other money, whilst he was under the influence of some deleterious matter administered to him when in their company. The prosecutor said that between ten and eleven o'clock at night he mat the prisoners in Gas well street, and being asked by them to "stand treat," he accompanied them to a public-house called the Maidenhead, and gave each a glass of gin and some pork pie. He afterwards went with them to another tavern, the Golden Lieu, where they were supplied with a pot of ale only, and after partaking of one glass he became so very ill that he was incapable of making any exertion, and in a helpless and almost unconscious state they pulled him outside the house, and took him under a gateway adjoining, and there he was pushed, or fell down when utterly insensible. He revived some few hours afterwards, and found himself in a most wretched state, with his pockets in side out, and deprived of his cash as stated. By Mr. COMBE—He could not tell how they got him down. Was not in the company of the prisoners half-an-hour. Had not been drinking. Saw his cash safe five minutes before he kst his reason. When he was led from the public-house he was right to a cer tain extent, but too helpless to resist. Was satisfied that something of a narcotic nature was administered to him. There was a fourth woman in their company. John Reeve, 424, A division, said he received in formation of the robbery, and first apprehended Bur ton. She said, when told what she was wanted for, " Don't make me suffer for all, for I only had a part of it, and am not the worst." On telling her that the others would be taken, she observed, " Oh, very well ; Ist us all share fate alike." After locking her up be took Wicks into custody at her house, No. 25, Baltic street, St. Luke's. Tne moment he had made known his errand she began crying, and asserted that all she had of the stolen money was 25., adding that " Jenny" (a woman well known to the police), who seas the worst, was out of the way. In company of Haw kins, ]9l G, witness subsequently sought after and secured Elliott, Who, being informed ths.t the other prisoners were locked up, expressed her eatisfection,. hoping that all would suffer alike, and trusted that " Squinting Jenny," who w absconded, would h e taken. as with them, and had Mrs. Elizabeth Isaacs, wife of Charles Isaacs, of 21, Attfield-street, St. Luke's, saw the prisoners and the woman at present at la rge l ea d th e p rosecu t or f rom the Golden Lion to the archway. She knew the women well, and listened at the entrance, when she distinctly heard Burton exclaim, " Come along, I've got it," and the three prisoners and " Jenny " thou ran away, leaving the prosecutor behind. She did not MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1850. interfere further. " Squinting Jenny" lived in the same house as witness_ She had disappeared from her lodgings. Af , ec some faraier evithLnce the prigcners, who declined saying anything to the charge, were re manded. Mr. TYRWBITT inquired if any money belonging to the prosecutor had been recovered. Constable Keene answered in the negative, giving it as his opinion that the bulk of it was with " Squint ing Jenny. 'The magistrate congratulated the prosecutor on his lucky Escape with his life, and desired the officers to look after the other woman. THAMES. Henry George Rushbrook, a well dressed, intelli gent lad, about fifteen years of age, apprenticed to Mr. Edward E. Child, pawnbroker, Nos. 216 and 217, High street, Shadwell, was charged • before Mr. Ingham with robbing his master. It appeared in evidence that for some time past money had been frequently missed from the tills in the prosecutor's shops, and two valuable watches and other valuable property had disappeared. A strict look-out had in consequence been kept, and on Mon day Mr. Child adopted the precaution of marking a quantity of silver, and put some in the tills every day. On Friday afternoon, Mr. Golding (Mr. Child's foreman) put marked silver to the amount of 3/. 3s. in one till, and to the amount of Ti. 17s. in the other shop, and while he wafts at his tea, the prisoner, who was generally employed in the warehouse up-stairs, was left in care of the shop. When Mr. Golding re turned to the shop he missed a marked half-crown out of the till in the pawn-shop, and immediately sent for Potter 212 K, and on his arrival the prisoner was told that a half-crown was missing from the till, and he was asked if he had any money about him. .He de manded why he was suspected more than the other boy, and declared he had only a few halfpence, which he took from his pocket. While doing so, he was in the act of raising his left hand towards a shelf, when Potter seized it. and said, " What have you got there ?" and at the same moment found it to be the marked half-crown, which was identified by Mr. Golding. The prisoner afterwards admitted to Potter that he had taken the half-crown, but denied having stolen the two watches. Mr. INGIiAM said he had no doubt the prisoner had robbed his master to a great extent, and fully com mitted him for trial. C1?11111NAL COURT SENTENCES.

ALARMING ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. BRISTOL, SATURDAY.—This morning, at twenty minutes to five o'clock, the mail train, which was then over due nearly four hours, arrived in this city, bringing intelligence of an alarming accident which had occurred the previous evening to a cheap excur sion train near Wootton-Bassett station. The acci dent was of a most extraordinary, and, as the affair at present stands, of a somewhat suspicious character. The policeman on duty at the station at the time has been given into custody, and a thorough investiga tion will be made by the officers of the company into the matter. A number of persons were more or less injured ' • but, miraculous as it w ill appear when the details of this distressing accident come to be read, fortunately no lives were lost. The news soon spread throughout the city, and the doors of the station were oompletely besieged by anxious inquirers after rela tives and friends. The following particulars, which have been obtained partly from official sources and partly from personal inquiry, may be relied on as authentic : It appears that one of the cheap excursion trains which have latterly become so popular on the Great Western and other lines was announced to leave this city on Friday morning for Paddington and back. It was completely thronged with parties from the West of England anxious to avail thernself of such a fa vourable opportunity of visiting the metropolis at a cheap rate. So great was the throng, indeed, that for the convenience of dispatch the excursion party was divided into two separate trains, one leaving the Bath and the other the Bristol station. Similar arrangements were intended by the officers of the company to have been made for the return journey in the evening; but, as is usually the case, most of the passengers, anxious to see as much as they possibly could of the lions of the metropolis, delayed their arri val again at the Paddington station till almost the last minute allowed them, so that when the time ap proached for leaving, such was the rapidity and the promiscuous nature of the arrivals of the passengers that it was found absolutely impossible to separate the Bristol from the Bath excursion train, and it was ac cordingly resolved to send on two mingled trains. The first of these return trains accomplished its pas saga with great punctuality, arriving at the Bristol station shortly before twelve o'clock last (Friday) night. It was stated by the passengers that when they left Swindon the other excursion train was just signalled as being in sight, and it seems it also arrived as far as Swindon in safety. It left Swindon at a quarter past eleven o'clock, and just after passinethe Wootton-Bassett station, at the junction of the siding with the down line, the passengers felt a tremendots concussion, and immediately there was an awful crash; it•seems that the train had come into collision with a horse-box, which somehow or other in the short space of a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes which had elapsed since the passing of the first ex cursion train, had been placed on the line. The en gine and the first four carriages were precipitated down the embankment into a field of mangold wurtzel. The first carriage was turned on its side, so that there were no means of escape, but although the top of it had to be removed by forcibly breaking it in with a sledge-hammer before the inmates could be rescued from their perilous position, none of them sustained any injuries that were of a serious or dan gerous character. The engineer and stoker were flung violently to the ground, but apparently without much injury, as they shortly afterwards busied them selves in endeavouring to assist the passengers. Mr. Burton,.the superintendent of the company's police at the Bristol station, happened to be in one of the first-class carriages, the inmates of which were precipitated over one another. As soon as he managed to extricate himself he was most unremitting in his exertions. The scene is described as having been for some time one of the utmost consternation and con fusion ; the screams of the female passengers were heartrending; two persons had their collar-bones dis located, the heads and faces of several others were cut and bruised, and some had their arms and legs in jured. A lady named Lewis, wife of the high-bailiff THE COUNT! LivEnrooL, SEPT. 21.-2 s. d. s. dl Wheat, per 701 b : English, white • 6 6 to 6 9 Do. rod: .. 6 2 6 4, Irish, best red • • 5 8 5 1113.

Dr. W. Bird Ilerapath, of this city, received injuris about !,),, aw l fre: ? .. Pjeherd city, laid iiis knee cut open, and there were many minor injuri , is inflicted. Fortunately the coupling chain of the fourth carriage broke, otherwise the whole of the remaining carriages, would in all proba bility have been precipitated over the embankment, and the consequences have been serious in the ex treme. Restoratives were immediately procured from Wootton-Bassett, and Dr. Herapath, with other medical gentlemen, rendered valuable assistance. The mail train reached Wootton-Bassett at a quarter-past 12 o'clock, and fortunately Mr. Brunel was one of the passengers, and he, with the Rev. H. L. Walters, of Aust Parsonage; General Jervei3e, and other gentlemen, assisted in aiding the sufferers. As the down line was disarranged, the mail train could not proceed, and wus detained up wards of three hours. Some of the carriages belong ing to the excursion train which were uninjured were then attached to it, and the train proceeded, a bed having been prccured for the accommodation of Mrs. Lewis, of Bath. Tire accident had broken up a per-. tion of the down rails, and the train accordingly had to run over a portion of the up-line. It arrived in Bristol in safety at twenty minutes to five o'clock. The other passengers were brought on by the engine belonging to the up-goods train, and arrived in safety soon after the mail train. The cause of this alarming accident is at present enveloped in mystery, and various have been the con jectures hazarded as to how the horse-box got on the line. Originally it was supposed that the coupling chain of the last carriage of the preceding train having by some mischance got broken, it must have been left on the line. This, however, subsequent inquiries have shown to be incorrect, as no horse-box was attached to the preceding train, and if it had been the last carriage on the train, there would have been a red light attached to it, which in all probability would have prevented the accident. This is fur ther shown from its position, as in such a case it would have been on the rails up and down the line, and not partially across it as the horse box which caused the accident is described to have been. Mr. Brunel states that he heard it asserted at Wootton-Thisset station that the horse- box had been purposely placed on the rail. Inquiries were imme diately made, and the result was that the policeman who was on duty at the spot was given into custody. For the snore complete elucidation of the circum stances of the case, we may mention that near the Wootton-Bassett station there is a bridge with a sig nal post, on the other side of the station is the siding, and about 150 or 200 yards from the station a foot path crosses the line and the siding, at which there is another signal post. The whole distance from the bridge to the point of junction of the siding with the down rails is somewhat less than a quarter of a mile. and is under the surveillance of the policeman on duty. It is affirmed that in this siding, during the whole of Friday, there was a luggage van and a horse-box— the identical one which caused the accident. They were a short distance from the footpath and near to the junction of the siding when the collision occurred ; and as about twenty minutes elapsed bete een the passage of the first and the second excursion train, it was quite practicable, had any evil-disposed person been wicked enough to do so, to have wheeled it up the siding on to the main line ; but if so, it is hard t o exp l a i n h ow it could be done without he policeman's witnessing it, more especially as the night was a bright moon light one. Some persons have supposed that as there were some severe gusts of wind, the horse-box might have been blown from the siding on to the line. The porter, however, in self-defence, alleges positively that in the morning he "scotched" (placed wedges under) ell the v. heels of both the horse-box and the luggage-van. The line at this spot, too, lies due east and west, whilst the direction of the w i n d was south- east, or obliquely acrcss the line, nor can the police man state that the wedges had been removed from thr. wheels. The most searching investigation is required into this affair, as the escape from a frightful loss of life seems to have been almost miraculous, and it is certainly most unaccountable how the horse-box go on the line. SUNDAY EVENING. It is with much pleasure we can state that Mrs. Lewis has been pronounced out of danger, and all the injured persons are progressing as favourably as can he expected. Another cheap excursion train left this city for Paddington yesterday, and three days are allowed in London. ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT TO MURDER. We doubt whether the ,annals of crime present a case more atrocious, m o re ingeniously planned and coolly executed, than a robbery and attempt at murder perpetrated in Aldersgite-street on Friday afternoon. For a considerable time a gentleman, named Cureton, has lodged in the house of Mr. Wilson. a tailor, 81, Aldersgate-strect. Mr . Cureton is connected with the British Museum, and buys coins and medals for that establishment. He has been in the habit of keeping a quantity of easily-conver tible property at his lodgings, and this fact appears from the event to have become known to some of the higher class of London thieves. On Friday after noon three men, dressed in the first-rate style, en tered Mr. Wilson's shop, and inquired for Mr. Cure ton. Mr. Wilson admitted them, and directed them to the second floor. In about a quarter of an hour after wards they came down stairs, without showing the least sign of hurry, and left the house. Shortly after their departure Mrs. Wilson had occasion to go up to Mr. Cureton's rooms, and she found him lying on the floor, insen sible, his face black, and blood running from a wound in his forehead. She thought he had fsllen in an apo plectic fit, and sent+, at once for a surgeon. It was many hours before Mr. Cureton was restored to con sciousness, and, as soon as his strength permitted, he gave the following account of the attack made upon him :—The three supposed gentlemen pretended that they had called to inquire whether he had a crown of William and Mary. He replied in the affirmative, and asked them to be seated. As he was in the act of handing a chair to one of the men, the other two got behind him and quickly placed some instrument round his neck, which squeezed him like a vice. Almost at the same moment one of them struck him a blow over the right eye, and he remembered nothing more. Mr. Careton saw the movement of the instrument towards his neck, and attempted to throw a small box at the window, hoping in that way to give an alarm. The thieves probably thought they had murdered Mr. Careton. They removed the instrument from his neck, and carried off coins and medals valued at 3001. The surgeon who was called in is of opinion that if Mrs. Wilson had not providentially gone up to Mr. Cureton so soon, he would have died, as re-action had just commenced. Upon making inquiries at the residence of Mr. Careton, last night, we learned that he was much better, and more collected than he was on Saturday morning. He is now able to give a more clear account of the manner in which he was treated, and the amount of property taken away by the thieves. He states that two or three men appeared deeply engaged together, and after minutely examining the coin which they bad inquired about, they desired to be shown a half-crown of the same reign. At that moment Mr. Cureton noticed that one of the men did not enter beyond the step of the door. There is now no doubt that that party was watching to see whether any one came up or went down the stairs. Mr. Cureton, thinking that probably he was a friend of the others, and not interested in the purchase of antiquities, asked him to be seated, and at the same time he turned round to hand him the chair he bad been sitting ou a few minutes previously. The instrument was at that juncture passed round his neck. It was formed by lashing two life-preservers together. The property taken away was deposited in sundry cabi nets, and consisted of crown and half-crown pieces of Oliver Cromwell, King Alfred, and numerous Anglo- Saxon coins, as well as a diamond pin, a silver capped and jewelled watch, and a box of cigars. A reward of .20/. was yesterday (Sunday) offered for the apprehension of the villains. Should the parties offer the coins for sale there is no doubt that they will be apprehended ; and although the property is worth from 300/. to 4001. to Mr. Cureton, yet, should it be transferred to the melting pot, it will probably not realise as many shillings for old silver. The police, up to last night, had been unable to obtain any tidings of the guilty parties. 1Y MARKETS. [Nothing passing to-day.
