[The following appeared in our Fourth Edition of last night FRANCE. At a recent dinner of compositors M. Pierre Leroux gave the fallowing toast, which was drank with en h usiasmm :—" To the brewers of London, not for having committed violence, as the c alumniators of the people say, but for having respected the life of a man who never respected the lives of his fellow-creatures, and for having contented themselves with marking him with infamy and manifesting spontaneously the horror and disgust with which his crimes had inspired them." We read as follows in a letter from Paris, published by the Independance of Brussels At the death of Louis Philippe some of his former Ministers, amongst whom I may name MM : Guizot, D uchatel, and de Mon tebello, announced their intention of proceeding to England, to be present at the funeral. The rumour of this determination reached the Queen Marie Amalie, and she immediately had a letter written to the ex- Ministers, requesting them to postpone their journey. ' The obsequies of the King,' said the letter, ' must be accomplished like his death, free from politics, and in the midst of the tears of his family.' The ex- Ministers understood what the Queen desired ; they conformed to it, and it was only when the funeral was over that they proceeded to offer the Queen and the Orleans family the expression of their condolence. Thus it appears certain that, when certain journals speak of that august family being occupied with political combinations, they are much mistaken, for the truth is that they are altogether absorbed by their grief. Other journals revert to the question of the fusion, so often contradicted. What has tended to give strength to that rumour is the movement which a certain personage has of late given hire.•self—an honourable man certainly, but who has had the misfortune of making himself remarked rather by his self .importance than his merit. The following is the real state of the matter :—M. de Salvandy had quitted Wiesbaden, where he had been very well received. He had gone to Baden, where he met M. Thiers. He was there some days, during which he had undertaken, Heaven knows with how little success, to convert to the Legitimatist faith the historian of the French revolution. Whilst he was there the news of the death of Louis Philippe arrived, and also an account of the mass which the Count de Chambord had ordered to be celebrated. M. de Salvandy immediately went back to Wiesbaden, and said to the Count de Cham bord, Prince, I come, in the name of France and in my own, to thank you for the act of justice which you have just accomplished with respect to the King of the French.' The Count de Chambord received this solemn declaration with great kindness, but also with that re serve which he had given proof of in most of the recep.. tions at Wiesbaden. He mentioned that when the dread ful accident put an end to the life of the Duke of Orleans, he had not hesitated to express his grief at that terrible event. Ha added that the death of Louis Philippe (it is reported that he said King Louis Philippe) was to him a cause of deep affliction. Here M. de Salvandy exclaimed, Does - your Highness authorise me to carry these words of affec tion to the Queen of the French ?' The Count de Chambord replied that he had always considered that his relation, Marie-Amalie (it is reported that he said Queen Marie-Amalie), a holy woman amongst the holiest, had soared above human af fairs, and that in that view she had an undoubted right to the respect of the whole world, and that he should be happy to send her the assurance of his respectful sympathy. M. de Salvandy added, Does your Highness charge me with any kind message for your cousins ?' The Prince appeared to reflect, and then, after a moment's silence, he replied with a little embarrassment, that his cousins not having sent him any message, he had no thing- on his side to send them, but that he was certain that none of them could doubt of the affectionate sentiments which he felt for all the mem bers of the Orleans family. M. de S ilvandy set off for Ostend. There he embarked for Dover, where he met MM. Guizot, Duchatel, and de Montebello. He an nounced to them that he was going to Claremont, 'the bearer of the happiness of France.' At Claremont his reception was cold, or, to speak more correctly, reserved. It had not been forgotten that after a conversation with King Louis Philippe, AI. de Salvandy, committing one of those gross blunders which are usual with him, had taken the familiar expression of personal senti ments for an communication. However, the step, authorised by the Count do Chambord, had a character of: nobleness and elevation, to which the Orleans family could not remain insensible. Tile Queen did not conceal that she was deeply touched with it. The family decided that there should be sent to the Count de Chambord an official notification of the King's death. M. d o S a l van d y rece i ved the mission of carrying this notification to Proshdorf Sack are the facts—nothing more, and nothing less.'. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. A letter from Hamburgh of the 14th, in the lode pendance of Brussels, says :—" We have received in telligence from Rendsburg of the afternoon of the 13;h. The Danish men-of-war returned to take up a position in the port of Eckernfcerde, in which a ter rible cannonade took place between the batteries, which the Holsteiners, after the taking of the town, had thrown up by the side of the sea. The latter, vigorously at tacked, were forced to abandon the town, which had been set fire to in different points. The flames during the night were seen at a distance of several leagues. It results from the ensemble of the operations, and from communications received, that the Holstein army, after the first success obtained on thi 12:h, was forced on the lath to beat in retreat; that General de Willisen, little sure of being able to maintain communications between the different divisions, was 'obliged to abandon the design of advancing further into the country ; and that, attacked on the right and left by the Danes, he was constrained by them to abandon Schleswig a second time, resuming his old positions in advance of the fortress of Rendsburg. We may with some severity demand an account from this general of the floods of blood anew and uselessly shed; what decisive success could he have hoped to obtain, by ordering the army to penetrate a second time into Schleswig, without being sure of being able to maintain himself there and of receiv ing material assistance on the part of the popula tion, who remained completely impassible? It is known that the Danish army in Schleswig is concen trated in strongly fortified positions; that at every step, so to speak, formidable entrenchments are raised, and that some of them, those of Danne wicke for example, are considered impregnable. The past and recent checks sustained by the Hol stein army may, in great part, be ascribed to the exaggerated sentiments of bravery which the chiefs exclusively ascribe to themselves, and to the contempt they affect for the Danes their enemies." A telegra phic dispatch received in Brussels says—" The German Reform of Berlin announces from Hamburgh, of the 14th, that the head-quarters of the Schleswig • Holstein army had been removed to Wittense, and that a now attack on another point was expected. There was a talk of the loss of 2.50 men." ITALY. The Modena Messenger mentions, on the authority of its Roman correspondent, that Mr. Freeborn, the British Consular Agent, at Rome, would shortly cease his functions. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa states that on the 7th the curate of Monte-acuto, near Tortona (Piedmont), was arrested on the suit of the public prosecutor, for having of late omitted the usual oremus for the King in celebrating divine service, and for having publicly declared that he would not pray for an excommunicated King, Ministry, or Parliament. Letters from Cagliari of the Bth, in the Risorgi mento of Turin, mention a serious misunderstanding that has arisen between the authorities and the Arch bishop of Cagliari, and that it is likely to render a re conciliation with Rome more difficult than ever. It will be remembered that a few months ago the Pied montese Government named a commission to inquire into the revenues of the dioceses and churches of the kingdom. The commission, in the fulfilment of its duty, addressed a circular to all the prelates of the island of Sardinia, inviting them to send in state ments of their revenues. All the bishops, except the Archbishop of Cagliari, Monsignor Marongiu-Nurra, obeyed ; the latter refused, on the ground that the King's Government had no right to inquire into such a matter, and that its pretension was anti-canonical. And, in support of this view, he published a monitory circular, dated Nov. 13, 1849, warning the public as to the excommu nications which would be incurred by any person aiding in compelling him (the Archbishop) to furnish the required information. As the Siccardi law did not then exist, the authorities could not prosecute the prelate; they limited themselves to obtaining the required information at the Archbishop's expense, who was obliged to pay a large sum to the persons employed for the pur pose. But as the pious institutions of La Con tadoria had not yet been examined, the commis sion again addressed a letter to the Archbishop on the subject, desiring him to give the neces sary information ; and, on his refusal, the tribunal ordered the papers and books of La Contadoria to be sealed—an operation.which was to be effected on the sth inst. But on that day the judge entrusted with the business found at the door of La Contadoria, which is situated within the precincts of the archiepiscopal pa lace, an excommunication against the authors and abet !.

The judge immedi a t e ly cause d thi s document to', r• aken down and transmitted to the public-pros- , who commenced legal proceedings against the,, -to without delay. The matter rests here for tha4. ent. - The .ntese Gazette of the 13th inst. states S THE SUN, that the King, having received from the Duke de Nemours a notification of the demise of the ex-King Louis Philippe, his grand uncle, had gone into mourn ing for 30 days. the prisoner kneeling upon a man who was lying down on the pavement. Upon his going towards them to assist in raising the latter, who was very much in toxicated, the prisoner got up and ran off. The scavenger proceeded to lift up the drunken man, who said that " that vagabond has stolen my watch." The scavenger accordingly went in search of a policeman, to whom he gave information of the robbery, and that the person accused had run down the street. The prisoner cross-examined this witness with con siderable dexterity. The police-officer, A 103, proved having found the prisoner in a doorway, towards which the drunken man pointed, at the bottom of Cecil-street. When he told him what he wanted him for he said, " Oh, indeed !" He took him to where the prosecutor was lying,.when the latter said that the prisoner was the man who had robbed him of his watch. The pri soner having been conveyed to the station-house was searched, but as nothing could be found upon him he was liberated. The officer said he was not satisfied about the matter, and therefore he again went down Cecil-street, and in the doorway from which he had taken the prisoner he found the lost watch and chain, which he now produced. About ten minutes after wards he saw the prisoner coming along the opposite side of the Strand. He went up to him, and on tell ing him that he had found the watch, and that he should again take him into custody, the prisoner said, " Oh, indeed, and so you are going to give me another turn r The man was then conveyed once more to the station-house. The prosecutor stated that on the evening in ques tion he had supped at the Albion near Drury-lane Theatre, and had afterwards taken too much liquor, so much so, that on getting into the street, he found himself to be very drunk. While in that state he had been robbed of his watch, and that was ail he knew about the matter. He recollected nothing more. The prisoner then proceeded to cross-examine this witness, and thus commenced, in a sanctified tone of voice,—" Sir, do you know that a very solemn duty now devolves upon you, and therefore I shall call upon you to reflect seriously bef ire you answer the ques tions I shall put to you. Now, sir, do you know the serious responsibility of an oath ? are you aware of its great importance, and have you made yourself ac quainted with the obligations which are imposed upon you by the ninth commandment, which runs thus,— ' Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neigh bour ?' Now, man, reflect before you give your answers." The prosecutor, who, like every other person in court, had been taken by surpri-e by this outburst, said, " Oh, yes, Oh, yes." The prisoner—Well, then, now turn round and look at me well, and then tell me if you do not in me behold and recognise an old acquaintance and an old companion ! The prosecutor (laughing)—You, you an old com panion —no, not a bit of it.—(Laughter.) The prisoner (looking round)—Sir, this is a very serious affair to me, and sorry am I, truly sorry am I indeed, that you should laugh at that in which I can not join. Do you not remember me ? The prosecutor—What ! remember you ? Not a bit of it. I don't know you. The prisoner —Don't you remember smoking a pipe with me, and afterwards, going with me to a coffee-shop, where you wanted something salt to take with your tea ? What, don't you recollect me now ? The prosecutor—l have told you I don't know yen, how many more times am I to tell you so? The prisoner, with whining vehemence, exclaimed that it was most extraordinary that the person in the box had lost all knowledge of him ; indeed, it was astonishing that he had not instantaneously recog nized him, as they had been eating and drinking and smoking together for several hours. That they had been so he should call witnesses to prove. The prisoner then unfolded a heavy brief, and said "Let Henry Watson be called." The witness, who is waiter at the Harp Tavern, proved that the prosecutor was in the company of the prisoner at the house on the night in question. They were drinking grog together, and did not leave till 3 o'clock in the morning, at which hour they left the house together. CrOss-examined by the prisoner—He remembered fetching four books while the prosecutor was in the house, in which names were entered. The name of the prosecutor was written in the books as having be come a member of "The City of Lushington."— (Loud laughter.) On that night the prosecutor be came a " citizen " of that "ancient body," and the witness received "one shilling" for the entrance fee, which sum was devoted to the purchase of two pots of beer.—(Renewed laughter.) Another witness deposed to the same effect. The prisoner then was about to address the jury, and opened the brief as though he intended to read from it, but The Learned CHAIRMAN declined to hear the speech at that stage of the proceedings, and, in reference to the brief from which the prisoner was about to read, said he hoped he would not by his conduct compel the Court to make public the means by which he had become possessed of it. (We were informed by the governor of the House of Detention that the prisoner, when in prison, bad instructed a solicitor to defend him, and having given him the grounds for his de fence, instructed him to prepare a brief, to retain y acted upon th ese in counsel, and to subpcena several w it nesses. On Tues scltaryuetthieonsso,liocailtled solicitor, at t having he d u prison to inquire if any thi ng l further had occurred to the mind of the prisoner which he thought might be of advantage to his de fence. The prisoner asked to look at the brief, which the solicitor, very innocently, handed to him. Tile prisoner, having looked into it, put it into his pocket, and said that be should now neither require the as sistance of the solicitor nor of counsel. In this way it was that the prisoner obtained his brief.) The Learned CatafuluAN summed up the evidence ; and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty. vepriyckedtThe Learned CHAIRMAN sentenced th e pr i soner t o six months' imprisonment and hard l a b our .

It appeared that on the evening of the Nth ult. the prosecutrix having arrived at the Paddington ter minus by the Great Western Railway, got into an es. for proceeding to Charing ewhen she was speak ing to a friend who was with h er i n t h e omn ib us, omnibus rAs they the wereu rp purpose going of n the conductor of the vehicle interrupted their con versation by asking her if she had lost anything, whereupon she put her hand into her pocket, and then, for the first time, she discovered that her purse had been taken. When she quitted the terminus her purse was safe in her pocket. It then appeared that the omnibus conductor, George Bowern, had noticed the prisoner and another man lo h i e t m erin n g til about terminus, and had a l so wa t c h e d both followed th e l ady into his omni bus, which had met the 23 min u t es past ten o ' c l ock them the train from Bristol. Entertaining a suspicion of the prisoner, the conductor kept him in his eye, and at one part of the journey he asked him to get outside so as to make room for a lady. The prisoner, how ever, declined to comply with the request. The om nibus therefore went on, but when it arrived near. to called e o d u t h ` S y ` got o u t, paid" Gil., and was George -street, Edgeware-road, th e pr i soner suddenly htiotasso He te. The conductor instantly told the lady to feel if she had lost anything, and at the same time he watched the movements of the pri soner and his companion. The former went into George-street, whither the conductor, having ascer tained that the lady's purse had been taken, at once pursued him. When be got up to the prisoner, he told him that he " wanted him. The prisoner said, " For God's sake don't do me an injury," and began to shuffle about his hands. The conductor threw his arms around the man who had a cloak on, and held him until the policeman, for whom he called lustily, arrived, to whom he handed him over. Prior to the coming up of the policeman, the conductor in the struggle bad dragged the pri soner back into the Edgeware-road, and by the time the policeman came they had got upon the railings of an area. As soon as the policeman made his appear ance the conductor saw a purse drop from the pri soner, and fall through the iron railings. He com municated this circumstance to the policeman, who knocked up the inhabitants of the house, went into the area and picked up the purse, which was identified by the prosecutrix. The prisoner now said he was anxious to say a few words to the Court. The Learned CHAIRMAN was ready to hear anything he wished to offer in explanation. The prisoner then said—My Lord, lam not, I as sure you, a thief. lam not a person who would com mit a theft on principle, and although in the present case I admit my guilt, yet upon a feeling of religion, and of all those proper feelings which ought to guide a man in his passage through this life, so great an ab horrence of thieving have I, that but for the starving and destitute condition of my poor wife and family, I should not have fallen into the commission of this ac tion, for which I have been brought before this court. I am not a thief, my Lord ; for my religious princi ples and fe e li ngs are both powerfully opposed to such a character. Driven to despair by the destitute state of my dear wife and children, I was unhappily induced to plunge into this crime. I hope, therefore, that, taking my unfortunate case, and the painful circum stances by which I was surrounded at the time, int o your consideratio n , your Lordsh i p w ill treat me with , mercy. A police-officer here stated that he had known the prisoner for six years as an expert " swell -mob's man." He was associated with a large gang of the swell mob, and he was attached to that branch of the body who attended the theatres and omnibuses to pick pockets. In 1844 the prisoner was apprehended for attempting to pick pockets at the entrance of the LONDON, TH URS DA Y EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1850. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY.—The royal mail steam-ship Great Western has just arrived at this port with mails from the Gulf of Mexico, Havannah, and Bermuda. She brings specie, value 833,810 dolls., of which 50,760 dolls. are for the account of Mexican bond holders, also 203 serons cochineal, and a general cargo. The Great Western has no mails from Jamaica, or the inward or lee ward islands. These will be brought by the Tay, daily expected. Our Mexican accounts by this packet mention that Congress was at last assembled. and no doubt was entertained that strong measures would be taken for the financial relief of the country. The country was tranquil, and the produce of the mines on the increase. Among the reforms contemplated were the raising of various prohibitions, and a further reduction of Custom••house duties, with the view of putting down the extensive contraband trade now carried on. General Arista, the present Minister of War, in all probability, will be elected to the presidency. The appointment of Mr. Falconet as their agent, by the English bondholders, had given general satisfac tion. Ile was expected to arrive by the next packet, and will be just in time to renew and terminate the negotiations respecting the Mexican Foreign Debts, the Mexican Government being, as is said, well dis posed towards Mr. Falconet. Mr. Bankhead, the English Minister, has been seriously indisposed, and intended leaving for Eng land shortly. Trade was very dull both at Vera Cruz and Tam pico, owing to the stock of goods being large and the smuggling of the Americans on the Rio Grande. The cholera prevailed, but not severely, at Vera Cruz : a few cases are reported at Tampico. At Jalapa the visitation of the disease was a very heavy one. The day before the packet sailed, Mr. Gifford, the British Consul at Vera Cruz, was personally assaulted by a Spaniard. We have accounts from llavannah to the 26th ult. The prices for sugar were much higher, and the stocks were becoming much reduced. Although freights to England were extremely low, very little shipping was going forward. Consignments to the United States offered more advances, and there were more vessels available fir that destination. Tobacco was still rising in price. Exchange on London 12i to 13 premium ; Paris 2A- to 2 discount. The island of Cuba experienced a severe gale on the night of the 21st of August, amounting almost to a hurricane. The injury done in Havannah har bour was inconsiderable, but in the interior a good deal of damage was done by the destruction of corn fields and plantain trees. The coffee plantations likewise suffered to a con siderable extent, and the sugar canes were greatly injured. The cholera bad almost disappeared from Havannah and its environs, but still lingered in the country, and had broken out in an important inland district, pre viously unvisited. The result of the judicial examination of the officers and crews of the two captured vessels had not been mails public, but we understand that a decision had been produced &daring the sailors to be inno cent, but condemning the mates of the two vessels to tea yearfl' imprisonment, as having entered upon the voyage with a knowledge of its object. Her Majesty's ship Indefatigable, Captain Smart, had left Havannah for Jamaica. A Spanish line-of battle-ship, with two frigates and a brig, and several war-steamers, are lying in the harbour. The Matanzas market was about the same as that at Havannah in regard to prices, but the stock of sugar there was proportiJnably still small&r. The Legislature of Bermuda was prorogued by the Governor on the 26th ultimo. We have Nassau papers to the 24th August. Se v9ral vessels had suffered in the gale of the 12th and 13th of the month. Numerous disasters at sea were spoken of. Via Bermuda there are dates from Damerara to the 17th ultimo. Meetings on the subject of constitutional reform continue to be held in that colony. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MADICIIESTER., TUESDAY.—A cessation of business fur four or five weeks (with the exception of such small purchases as were unavoidable) had latterly so reduced the stocks of yarn in the hands of the home consumers and the foreign buyers, as to produce among thmn that sort of uneasi ness est the advantage of lower prices should bs let slip, which rendered a renewal of operations, within a short time, a matter of pretty great certainty. Towards the latter end of last week, there were indications of our near ap proach to this turning point,:to which we have been brought somewhat sharply to-day by the effect, on the Liverpool market, of the Europa 's ad vices of storms destructive to the cotton plant in some part of the states. A good deal of excitement has prevailed, and very extensive transactions would have taken place, at something like the rates of last week, but spinners have stood out for an advance of id. to id. generally upon bundles, whether mule or water. The manufacturers have supplied themselves to a moderate amount ; and some of the ship pers have bought with considerable freedom— in a few instances clearing out rather large parcels. As might be expected, much irregu larity has shown itself amongst sellers, some of whom have raised their quotation in a greater, others in a lesser, degree, than we have stated above. In th e department of goods there has not been equal anima tion. Manufacturers will not sell on last week's terms ; there is, however, a hanging back on the side of buyers, which is partly attributable to their having operated rather freely, at lower prices, a few days ago. Roc lIDALE, MONDAY.—The manufacturers have had another brisk demand fur flannels to-day, at prices much the same as those of the preceding week. For wool, there has been a very limited demand, and the manufacturers prefer working up the stocks they have on hand which have been laid in at lower rates than they can purchase at present. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—Our manufacturers continue more actively employed; the prospects of a better demand inducing them to produce more goods than they have latterly been doing. A good inquiry generally exists for thrown silks of useful descriptions ; and a fair quantity has changed hands during the last week. There are also orders again in the market for the continent, which contribute to keep the mills at full work. In the raw silk market there has been current business at full prices ; some of the merchants are still looking for higher rates. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have had equally as good a market to-day as last week, though not quite so much has been done in the hall, although the demand has been brisker ; but the wool market having advanced, the manufacturers are holding back for an advance, not knowing whether they can supply at the price. The trade of the week has been very good; several American buyers having been in town. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There is no noticeable change in the worsted trade, either as regards de mand or prices. Neither can we report any altera tion in the state of the yarn market. The spinners are fully employed, and the quotations continue firm. The sales of wool are moderate, and late rates are rather stiffly maintained. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The market has been quiet to day ; but, on Saturday last, a fair business was trans acted. Large deliveries are still being made to order, and business is good in the warehouses._ MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) Joseph Braznell, 22, and John Wren, 20, were in. dicted for feloniously endeavouring to extort money from Michael Tasburgh, under a threat of accusing him of an abominable crime. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Ballantine were for the pro. secution ; the prisoners were defended by Mr. Robin. son and Mr. Woollett. The prosecutor in this case is an independent gen tleman, named Michael Tasburgb, residing at Burgh wallis-hall, near Doncaster, and it appeared from his statement that he is between 70 and 80 years of age. The circumstances under which the charge was pre ferred against the prisoners were these :—On the 27th of August the prosecutor had come up to town on business, and he proceeded to the Tavistock Hotel, and after having dined he went out in the evening for a walk, and as he was passing through Hemming's row he stopped for a moment at a turner's shop to look at a man who was at work there. It appeared that the prisoner Braznell and three or four other men were also standing at the window, and he pushed against the prosecutor in a manner that induced him immediately to quit the shop window and walk away. The prisoner followed him, and asked him if he supposed he was going to allow him to do what he had done for nothing, and inquired what he was going to " stand." The prosecutor, who notwithstanding his advanced age, appeared to have acted with a great deal of firmness and deter mination throughout the whole transaction, replied that he would give him nothing, and walked on, the prisoner following him and making the observation that he must take the consequences. After this Braznell wished the prosecutor to go into a public house and have a glass with him, stating, at the same time, that the matter might be soon settled, and that he did not wish to be hard with him. The prosecutor resisted all the attempts that were made to extort money from him, and Braznell at length gave him in charge for an indecent assault, and he was examined the following morning before Mr. Hardwick, at Marlborough-street, and the other prisoner,' 'Wren, and another man, named White, then came forward as witnesses in support of the charge that had. been made against the prosecutor. Their statements, how ever, their examination being taken apart, were so contradictory to each other that the magistrate felt it to be his duty not only to dismiss the charge that had been made against the prosecutor, but to order the prisoners into custody upon the present charge. The facts were distinctly proved in evidence, and the utter groundlessness of the accusation made against the prosecutor was clearly established ; and there ap peared to be no doubt that the prisoners formed part of the gang of miscreants who infest the metropolis and prowl about for the purpose of extorting money from the fears of those against whom they preferred charges of this description. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, the jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. _ _ Evidence was then given that the prisoner Wren bad been before convicted of felony. The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence upon the prisoners, said that they had been convicted of a most dreadful crime, and it was hardly possible to imagine one that was more calculated to create misery and suffering. It was therefore necessary for the protec tion of the public that when such an offence was clearly brought home to the persons accused of it a most severe punishment should be inflicted. He then sentenced the prisoners to be transported for twenty years. Upon the application of Mr. PARRY, on behalf of John Wakeman Edwards, a surgeon, who stands charged with a felony of a peculiar character, and no opposition being offered by Mr. Ballantine, who ap peared for the prosecution, the trial of the defendant was postponed to the next session. It was arranged that Mr. Edwards, who has here tofore been at large upon bail, should still remain at liberty upon the same amount of recognizances. Ellen Hoar, 22, was charged upon the coroner's inquisition, with the wilful murder of her female ille gitimate child. A bill for the murder had also been preferred be fore the grand jury, but they ignored it. Mr. Clerk conducted the prosecution. The pri soner would have been without the assistance of counsel but for the kind interference of the Sheriffs. Through their instrumentality, however, she had the benefit of the able services of Mr. Ballantine. The facts of the case lay in a very narrow compass. The prisoner lodged in the house of a woman named Davis, in Queen-street, Notting•hill, and on the 14th of August, in consequence of something that transpired, Mrs. Davis went into the prisoner's room, and from what she saw there she accused her of having given birth to a child. The prisoner denied that this was the case, and another woman then came into the room, and she also taxed the prisoner with the same act, and asked where the child was. She persisted in declaring that she had not given birth to a child, but upon the room being searched the dead body of a female infant was found in a box, and with a cord tied tightly round its neck. The evidence with regard to the fact of the child having been born alive was by no means conclusive, and it also ap peared very probable that the cord might have been used by the prisoner as a readier means to relieve her self from the agonies of childbirth. Mr. BALLANTINE made a most feeling and earnest appeal to the jury on behalf of the unfortunate pri soner, and expressed a confident expectation that they would not . upon the evidence that had been laid before them convict a young creature like the prisoner of such a dreadful crime as that with which she was charged. _ Mr. Justice WILLIAMS briefly summed up, and the jury, after a short deliberation, Acquitted the prisoner of murder, but found her Guilty of concealing the birth of the child. She was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six months. NE W COURT. (Before the COMMON-SERGEANT.) Edward George Barrington, 36, millwright, was indicted for feloniously being at large, without lawful excuse, before the expiration of a term for which he had been sentenced to be transported. Mr. Digby Seymour appeared for the prisoner. The facts for the prosecution were these :—ln June, 1844, the prisoner was tried at these sessions for a robbery of notes in a dwelling-house, and sen tenced to ten years' transportation. He was subse quently sent out of this country, and, not having received any liberty from the authorities of this country to return home, he had recently done so, and had set up a beershop, and had continued to keep it up to the time of his apprehension in last August, when some one gave information to Penny, the in spector of nuisances for Clerkenwell, who was at the time of the prisoner's conviction a police in spector. Mr. SEYMOUR made a most earnest appeal to the jury, and said the defence he had to offer was this : The prisoner after his conviction had been sent out to Swan River, where his behaviour was so irreproach able that the Governor of the place gave him a free pardon, and in the October of 1847 he enlisted him self as a shipwright on board the Columbin, under the command of Lord John Hay, and had accom panied the whole of the well known expedition in the Japanese seas against the pirates, behaving with the utmost courage, and in other respects conducting himself most irreproachably down to April of the pre sent year, when the vessel came home, and with the prize money he had received went into business as a beer-shopkeeper. The Learned Counsel handed in the written document of the prisoner's conduct, and added that Lord John Hay wished it to be stated that the prisoner's conduct whilst under his command had been excellent. The prisoner had received from the governor a written pardon, but fearing it might be found by his fellow seamen, and that they might know what he had been, he had destroyed it. The COMMON- SERGEANT, in addressing the jury, said that undoubtedly the prisoner's character had been very good since his conviction, but there was only his word about the pardon. The jury found him Guilty, strongly recommend ing him to mercy on account of his character. Judgment was respited. John Simpson, 23, labourer, pleaded Guilty to marrying Jane Robinson, his wife being then alive. Mr. Digby Seymour appeared for the prosecution. Neither of the wives appeared, but it was stated to the Court that the prisoner had married his first wife in Scotland, and she falling ill became the in mate of an hospital. He subsequently deserted her and married a second wife, whom it was supposed he had also left. lie was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. Mary Ann Geary was convicted of stealing some articles of wearing apparel, the property of the guardians of St. Giles, Bloonagbury. It appeared that she had been for four years an in mate of the poorhouse ; she occasionally went out, and suspicion being entertained that she was robbing the house a search -warrant was obtained, and a place she visited searched, and the articles in question found. A watch was then set on the place, and upon her coming there she was taken into custody. In the course of the afternoon the grand jury, having returned all the bills before them, were dis charged with the customary thanks. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Sept. is. Before Mr. IVITuAm, Chairman, and a Bench or Magistrates.) Henry Preston, aged 31, described as a comedian, but dressed with all the appearance of a Dissenting minister, was indicted for having stolen fri - Jm the per son a silver watch and gold watch-guar;, of the value of 71., the property of Charles Dow:len. It appeared that a scavenger of the name of Bays went into Cecil-street in the Strand, on the sth inst., about four o'clock in the morning, when he saw Victoria Theatre. He had three months' imprison ment for that offence. On the 3d of March, 1846, he was sentenced to two months' imprisonment for pick ing pockets, and twelve months previously he had had six weeks' imprisonment, also for picking pockets. He was the regular companion, too, of convicted thieves, as well as of his own corps of the swell-m o b. The prisoner again exclaimed that urgent distress had driven him to this theft. He was not a thief on principle. Ano - ther policeman then stood up in the witne3s box, and said that to his knowledge the prisoner had, for a considerable time, been the associate of thieves. He was one of the " mobsmen" who plied his voca tion with great success in omnibuses. He was very well known in the City districts. The prisoner, whilst these characters were being given of him, held up his hands in silent surprise: The Learned CHAIRMAN said he had heard quite sufficient to satisfy him that the prisoner was a titter subject for a residence abroad than in this country. The sentence upon him, therefore, was transportation for seven years beyond the seas. The prisoner again held up his arms in astonish ment in true Maw worm style. POLICE IN TELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Smith and Savage, mere lads, were brought before Alderman Gibbs charged under these circumstances : Mr. S. H. Day, wine -merchant, of 21, Pudding lane, Eastcheap, said, on Tuesday week I received the order produced (in the Preach language) for six dozen bottles of champagne. It purports to be signed " P. Nind," and was put into my hands by the pri soner Smith. In consequence of information which I received, I detained him until a constable privately arrived, and then I delivered one case containing three dozen of champagne to him. The prisoner Savage, who was outside waiting with a truck when Smith went out, assisted in putting the case into the truck, which they then both drew away. When Smith gave me the order I asked him where he came from, and he said from Leicester-square. Mr. Philip Nind, of the Sabloniere Hotel, Leices ter-square, said the order produced is not in my hand writing, nor was it written by my direction or sanc tion. I know nothing of the prisoners. Mr. F. de Yrigyli, clerk to Messrs. Louis Marie Canneaux and Son, wine -merchants, Coleman-street, said, on the 31 of September, a young man, whom I cannot identify, brought to me the order produced (also in the French language) for one case of cham pagne. The order purported to be signed by Mr. Nind, who had been a customer of the house, and I, believing it to he genuine, gave directions that the wine should be delivered. Mr. E. Canneaux—l was in the counting-house when the order was brought by Smith, and when the case was packed it was delivered to him, and he signed the receipt produced in the name of " Henry Cor nell." The champagne was taken outside to a truck which was in the care of a young man whom I he lieve to be the prisoner Savage, and I saw them go away together. Mr. Nind stated that the order produced by the last witness was also a forgery. Mr. G. J. Booly, clerk to Mr. F. Scott, wine-mer chant, in Sr. Swithin's-lane—On the 22d of last August, a young man brought to me the order pro duced for one six-do zen case o f c h ampagne, but as it explicit as t o th e qua li ty and to pay the d u ty on t h e w i ne, he colour,was not n s d u sufficiently n h t a l y d was told to send again next day, and accordingly, on the following day, the prisoner brought the wine and a paper, stating the particulars, and he received the wine and gaire me the receipt produced, purportin g to be signed by Mr. Verrey, o f 229, R egent -street. Mr. Louis Verrey, who is in partnership with his brother, said—The order produced was not signed by my brother or -by me, nor was the other paper, pro duced by the officer. If any wine had been required for the use of the establishment, I must have known it. I know nothing of the prisoners. Ratcliffe, 375—0 n the morning of the 22nd of August, I was on duty in St. Paul's-churchyard, and I saw the prisoner Smith, and a man named Booth, drawing a truck containing a case of champagne. I went close to the truck, and Smith turned round and saw me, and ran off with another man, who was on the pavement. I followed them and lost them both. Another man took hold of the truck then and went ,off with Booth. I followed the truck and stopped it, and it has been returned to Mr. Scott with the wine. J. Calcott, coal-dealer, of Tower-street, proved that he had lent the truck to Smith on the '22nd of August. Hyde, 516, who had been sent for to watch and take into custody the prisoners, stated that he fol lowed them from the premises of Mr. Day, and ap prehended them as they were dragging the truck containing the case of champagne. Alderman GIBBS asked'the prisoners whether they wished to make any answer to the charge ? Smith—No • none from me. Savage—l know nothing of anything wrong, but was asked by Smith to help him draw the truck, and I did so, when the officer took me into custody.— Committed for trial. SOUTHWARK. Elizabeth Guilday, , a respectable-looking woman, between 30 and 40 years of age, with an infant in her arms, was placed at the bar before Mr. Norton, charged with bigamy. The circumstances attending the alleged offence are of a singular description. It appeared that the pri soner's first husband, to whom she was married in June, 1835, was shortly afterwards apprehended on a charge of felony, tried, and convicted of the offence, and sentenced to transportation for seven years. He remained, however, on board the hulks for some time in this country, during which period he had oppor tunities of communicating with his wife, the pri soner, but ho was ultimately sent out, with other convicts, to Sydney, where he remained until the ex piration of his sentence, and when he returned to this country he sought out his wife, and found that she had married another man, named Fletcher, with whom she was then living, and by whom she had some children. She, upon that occasion, did not attempt to screen herself from the consequences of the act she committed, and rested her defence, first, on her having contracted a mar riage with a man of bad character, through whose profligacy and misconduct she had suffered severely, and, secondly, not having heard of him or from him during the period of his transportation, she considered he was dead, and that, therefore, she was justified by law in availing herself of an offer of marriage made to her by a respectable man, who was informed of all the circumstances attending her first unfortunate union with the complainant. The latter, finding that the prisoner was still determined on remaining under the roof of the second husband (Fletcher), had her apprehended, and adopted the present proceedings against her_ The necessary evidence to establish the second mar riage, as well as the first having been adduced, the prisoner, by the advice of Mr. Duncombe, her solici tor, declined saying anything at present on the sub ject of the charge. She, however, complained to the magistrate that she sent her daughter, a girl of twelve years of age, to see the complainant (her father) eleven weeks ago, and that he did not suffer her to return. She now wished to know if the girl could be kept forcibly away from her ? Mr. NORTON told her that if the girl was the daughter by the first husband he was entitled by law to keep her. Tao complainant here stepped into the 'witness box, and addressing the magistrate, said the morals of his daughter would be preserved, as she was living with him and his mother, and that was the reason he prevented her from returning to the abode of a mother who had disgraced herself by forming a matrimonial alliance with a man while her own hus band was living. Mr. NORTON remarked that he coull not well dis tinguish the reasons that induced the complainant to adopt the present proceedings. The complainant said that he was convinced the prisoner must have known all along that ho was still in existence at the time she wished it to be believed that he was dead. That he had written letters to her from Sydney and Launceston, where he acted in the capacity of constable soma after his arrival, owing to his good conduct. That he was certain his communi cations had come to hand, but if she had any doubts about him, she could easily have ascertained by an application at the convict establishment. lle added, that he had suffered according to the laws of his country; that it was not he was but what he is at present, and that bis character since he had retrieved it, he was proud to say, would bear investigation. The prisoner was committed, but the magistrate accepted bail for her appearance to answer the charge at the sessions. Sureties to the amount required were tendered immediately, and the prisoner left the court with a number of her friends, who appeared to take a deep interest in the proceedings. GREENWICIL William Cusse . n, aged 31, a police-constable, No. 142, of the It division, stationed at the dock and vic tualling-yards, Deptford, was brought up and placed in the dock, before Mr. Seeker, by Mr. Inspector M`Gill, charged with assaulting Jane Robertson, aged 18 years, a married woman, and wife of Gunner Hector Robertson, belonging to the Bth battalion of the Royal Artillery, Woolwich. The prosecutrix, a neatly-dressed young woman, of very modest and pleasing demeanour, stated that she went to the dockyard station to report the prisoner's disgraceful conduct on T ues d ay , a b out three o ' clock. She left Woolwich, bringing a letter from her hus band to police-constable Setford, of the dockyard police. She left by the Woolwich train at twelve o'clock, and got out at Deptford station, New Cross rola, where sh , ;. , saw a poliecu:an (the prioner) walking ov e r the bridge, of whom she in quired the way to the Deptford dockyard, and told him that she wanted to see police constable Setford. The prisoner told her that Setford ' was an inmate at present of the London Hospital. A conversation continued between them, when the pri soner said he was waiting for his sister, who shortly afterwards made her appearance, when the prisoner and his sister urged her to take a glass of ale. She drank a little, and the prisoner gave his sister some. Ile afterwards gave his sister some money, and she went away. Prosecutrix then said she would return home. The prisoner followed her, and said he would show her to a railway station. He took her up several crooked lanes until they reached the road leading to Brockley Jack (the Castle Inn). He then requested her to sit down on the bank of the railway cutting. She took a seat some distance from the prisoner, who, shifting about, caught hold of her, and placed his arms over her shoulders and kissed her. She told him (pushing him away with both her hands) not to lay hands upon her, as she was well known to the police, and would report him to the chief inspector, Mr. A:VGA of the dockyard police. The pri soner then seized hold of, and forcibly thre w her down, and with great violence effected his purpose. She was surprised and confounded at the moment, put her hands in his face, and called for assist= ance, hut no one came. Saw a man some distance off. She then got up and ran away, declaring that she would go td the dockyard and report him, having un derstood, in course of conversation, that he was on duty there. Prosecutrix produced an envelope, which the prisoner gave her, bearing the address of his sister, and hoped witness would interest herself in getting her a situation. The prisoner followed in the distance to the dockyard station, overtaking her at times, in order, as he said, to go into a public-house and settle the matter ; but she continued on her way through the streets crying until she reached the dockyard, where she fully explained the nature of the outrage to Mr. Inspector M‘Gill. Mr. M'G'ill asked her why she did not explain the outrage to persons she met on the way ? She told him she was ashamd of exposure in the public streets, and might have been laughed at; and, as she was certain of redress at his hands, she proceeded to the dockyard. Persons on the road pitied her and directed her. She did not say she was married, nor did the prisoner ask that question. The prisoner came up to the gate half-an hour after witness, when the inspector called him and told him in witness's presence that he was charged with a grave offence at the instance cf prosecutrix. Prisoner said, " Good God she has made a false statement." Inspector MPG-ill was then called, and deposed that prosecutrix's evidence now taken was fully in accordance with her statement taken at the Dockyard office, and that she arrived at the station in a very excited and distressing• condition. Mr. ALT, at some length, cross-examined the pro secutrix without eliciting the slightest matter affect ing, her testimony or charactor. Mr. SECKER said he should send the charge before a jury, and bound the witnesses over to prosecute at the Central Criminal Court. Ganner H. Robertson then left the court, accom panied by his wif-, the magistrate declining to take bail, as urged by Mr. May, for the prisoner. RAILWAY IN TELLIG-ENCE NORTH BRITISH. The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this company was held in Gibb'e Royal Hotel, Edinburgh, on Tuesday ; Mr. Learmonth, the chairman, presid ing. The directors' report was held as read. The CHAIRMAN having briefly recapitulated the main features of the report, moved that it be adopted. Mr. BLACKADDER seconded the motion. Mr. JOHN COOK, W.S., said that he could not sup port the resolution, and he proposed an amendment to the effect that the report be not approved of; cud that a report be made previous tc the next meeting as to the present state, prospects, and system of manage ment of the company, and especially as to the ac curacy of the accounts as regarded the appropriation of the expenditure during the half-year previous to the 31st of July, to the respective branches of capital and income ; also as to the litigation now in progress at the instance of the company, and as to the cause of the retirement from the board of four of the directors appointed by the last half-yearly meeting. Dr. MACFARLAIi seconded the amendment, and in veighed against the management of the line. The CHAIRMAN said that with respect to the asser tion that an increased sum was carried to capital and interest during the last half-year, it should be known that the quarter shares, which had a right to interest, had not the interest to which they were entitled paid in previous years, and of course the sum was placed in the present account, and that as the banks were in the habit of making their accounts annually, the in terest paid to them in the currency of the year for money employed in the formation of the line, and which could not, therefore, yield a return, was set down ; and this explained the two items referred to. The sum set down for law expenses was, he should state, not for expenses incurred during the last half year, but long current accounts. With regard to the litigation with the directors, referred to in the amend ment, he regretted that it was adverted to; but he might state, as it had been alluded to, that it was a litigation carried on by himself in the name of the company against himself as a director, to compel him and the other directors to pay the balances which they respectively owed of a sum of 26,000/. The payment of their portion of that sum was resisted by some of the directors who had retired, and while he and his colleagues were willing to pay their own shares, they wanted the others who had retired from the direction to pay their proportion. Mr. Cook happened to be the agent for one of the retired directors, and therefore it was a pity that he should have referred to it at all. He further stated that the construction of the North Berwick branch, which was about 411 miles in length, had cost 73,0001.—about 17,0001. a mile, and that the other branches cost 18,0001. or 19,0001. a mile. He maintained that no good could be got by Mr. Cook's amendment, and therefore hoped that it would not be agreed to, The two motions were put to the vote, when, only five hands being held up for the amendment, the re port was approved of. A series of resolutions were on the motion of the CHAIRMAN then agreed to, to the effect that the direc tors be authorised to compound with such of the shareholders as arc in arrear of calls and are in doubt ful circumstances, by freeing them from further liability on payment of a modified sum and giving up all right to their shares in favour of the company ; that the directors be authorised to apply to Parliament for authority to enlarge and improve the Elinburgh station, and connect it with the ',Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee station, and also to alter the Leith branch to make it capable of being worked by locomotive power ; and that the interest on the guaranteed shares be paid on Thursday, the 19th inst. (there being no dividend on the ordinary share capital). A motion was then made that there be no Sabbath traffic on the line, bat it was lost by a large majority, and the meeting separated. EAST ANGLIAN. Yesterday a meeting of East Anglian bondholders and creditors took place at the London Tavern to consider a proposition made on the part of the com mittee of bondholders, and also a counter proposition made by the chairman of the board of directors, with a view of relieving the company from their present financial difficulties. WILLIAM EVERARD, ESQ., took the chair, when a long discussion took place as to the merits of the two propositions, in which several bondholders inter fered, and eventually the proposal of the bondholders' committee was adopted unanimously, the chairman of the board of directors having withdrawn his pro position in its favour. The Chairman then moved the resolutions founded on the committee's proposition. Mr. SEPPINGs seconded the motion. The resolutions were as follows :—" That this meeting approre of the following proposition for an arrangement between the East Anglian Railways Company and their creditors : That the shares created under the Act of 1849, viz , 37,552 shares of 101. each, shall bear a preferential dividend of 5 instead of 7 par cent. ' • and that every deficiency in the am oun t of such dividend, at any period, shall be made up out of the first assets subsequently available for the pur pose of dividend. 2 , 11 y, That the mortgagees, bond holders, and other creditors, shall accept such portion of the said shares as remain unissued in satisfaction of an equal amount of their claims. idly, That such of the said shares as have been already issued shall remain liable to be called up, in accordance with the resolu tions, upon the footing of which they were issued. And 4thly, That until the full dividend upon such preference shares shall have been punctually paid fur two years in succession, and on any future occasion when such dividend shall fall below 5 per cent., and then again until it shall have been punctually paid for two years in succession, two-thirds of the board shall be nominated by the registered proprietor of such shares, and the other third as heretofore; and at other times two-thirds of the directors shall be chosen as heretofore, and one-third by the new shareholders." A vote of thanks was then passed to the chairman and committee of bondholdev, when the meeting adjourned. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, SEPT. 18.
