DEANS, Registrar of Bank Returns. Wand Bevenue, ..c.iomerset House, Oct, 12, 1850. [The following appeared in our Third Edition of lasc night :—] FRANCE. The Moniteur announces that from to-morrow the closing prices of the Five and Three per Cents. and of Bank Shares are to be transmitted to Tours each evening by electric telegraph, as has been for some time done on the Rouen and Northern lines. On the intelligence arriving of the death of the Queen of the Belgians, Colonel Bacchiochi, orderly officer to the President of the Republic, immediately proceeded to the residence of M. Firmin Rogier, en voy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of Belgium, to bear to him the compliments of con dolence of the President. M. Firmin Rogier was received yesterday by the President of the Republic. M. Goudchaux, Minister of Finance under the Provisional Government, has addressed the following letter to the Journal des Debats " Paris, 15th October. " Sir,--I believe that I have proved by my silence on all occasions that Ido not like to occupy the public with what is personal to me. The first article of the Debats of yesterday obliges me, however, to act differently. I read in the fourth column of the first page To the citiz:n Goudchaux was sent the coupe the Diamant,' drawn by ilfaneeuvre and Avare —for one hundred and fifty days, at 25f., 3,750f.' That is completely inexact. (I do not say false in order not tol fail in politeness.) I was twice charged with the functions of Minister of Finance. The first time was the 25th of February, 1848 ; I only remained in the post eight days, that is to say, whilst Paris was unpaved, in consequence of the barricades, and at that time I made use of no carriage as will readily be supposed. The second time was after the journees of June, 1848. I remained in office foal. months. At my arrival I found a carriage (belonging to the Court) which I immediately sent back, and I hired at my own cost a little one-horse coup% I paid for it with my own money during the four months of my minis try. I have the receipts still. Since the quotation which concerns me causes to fall on me the accusa tion of rapacity and avarice, permit me, Sir, not to confine myself to saying that I made no use of a carriage to which I had no right, but that neither during my first nor my second passage in the Minis try of France did I receive the salary to which I was entitled as minister, nor indemnity of any kind." M. Napoleon maparte, representative of the people, has addressed a letter to the editor of the Revue des Deux illondes, to correct certain statements releive to the Bonaparte family, made by the Count de Montalivet in his recent article in that periodical on the civil list of King Louis Philippe. M. Bona parte says he is anxious to "throw light on what M. de .Montalivet has said respecting his father," and on " his own relations with the Government of July ;" and he makes the following assertions :—ln 1845 he obtained permission to " pay a visit to Paris on pri vate business, but at the end of three months was ordered by the Minister of the Interior to leave within eight days ; and it was only by the friendly intervention of Admiral Mackau, Minister of Ma rine, who had served under his father, that he was allowed to remain a few days longer. During his stay, he asked permission to visit his cousin, the President of the Republic, at Ham, but was refused. In 1846, he endeavoured to obtain leave for his brother, who was seriously ill, to be sent to a watering place of the Pyrenees, as recommended by his physician, but the Government would not allow it, and some months after his brother died in Italy. In April, 1847, his father petitioned the Chambers to be al lowed to return to France; the Chamber referred the petition to the Ministers, and the Ministers only allowed his father and himself a temporary per mission to enter France ; they had, consequently, he says, no legal protection, and were at the dis position of the Minister of the Interior. The Government of Louis Philippe, M. Bonaparte asserts, always refused to present a Bill for putting an end to the proscription of his family ; but he admits that it was less severe as regarded their demands on the state. In 1815, his father, he says, lost his fortune, and a small inheritance he bad obtained from one of his sisters was confiscated, though all the eminent advocates of the time condemned the confiscation. In 1831, M. Ca simir Perier, admitting that injustice had been com mit ted, showed a disposition to repair it ; but after that time every demand was without effect. The tribunals which were applied to, declared themselves without jurisdic tion. At last the Government consented to prepare a Bill, when the revolution of February broke out. This Bill decided nothing as to the amount of the sum to be granted, but admitted the principle of an annuity, as an indemnity for what M. Bonaparte calls the " indisputable rights" of his father, and " the spoila tions made by the restoration." To obtain this Bill, he remarks, it required eighteen years efforts ; and he adds— " I see nothing in all that which resembles in any way an act of munificence on the part of the King. It was an affair between the State and a private individual, such as arises every day, and the Chambers would have decided on it. It is true that, instead of showing itself hostile, as it had previously done, the Ministry of 1840 was favourable. That is all the truth with the most scrupulous exactitude." With respect to the conduct of the Bonapartes towards the Orleans family, M. Napoleon Bonaparte says that in 1815 the Emperor, of his own free will, accorded a pension of 400,000 f. to the mother of Louis Philippe ; in 1850, the French Republic, under the presidency of Louis Napoleon, recognised the dowry of 300,000 f. de rente of the Duchess d'Orleans. (M. Bonaparte says that he abstained from voting.) In 1850, he proposed to put an end to the exile of all the Bourbon families. M. Bonaparte concludes by saying that, although he has found it necessary to place facts 'in their real light, in contradiction to M. de Montalivet, he is not animated with any ma levolent feeling towards the Orleans family. M. de Montalivet has published a reply to the letter. He observes that it does not deny any one of the facts he had advanced as a proof of the generous sentiments of the King Louis Philippe towards the princes of the Bonaparte family. He says that M. Bonaparte would have given himself the double ad vantage of being just and able if he had shown more respect, if not gratitude, for the memory of Louis Philippe. He declares that though M. Bonaparte may refuse to admit, history will not—that the late King acted generously in allowing, contrary to the prescriptions of the law, members of the proscribed Bonaparte family on more than one occasion to enter France • in pardoning the armed revolt of a nephew of the Emperor ; in restoring liberty to another nephew of the Emperor in a foreign country (the payment of this nephew's debts by the late King, to rescue him from gaol is here referred to); and in the King's offering to M. Napoleon's father his co-operation in procuring him an allowance from the country. As to the ordering away from France of M. Napoleon Bonaparte, M. de Montalivet intimates that it was in consequence of his having formed a liaison with extreme political parties. With reference to M. Bonaparte's remarks on what the Em peror and himself had done for the Orleans family, M. de Montalivet recommends him not to institute a comparison which could be advantageous neither to the Emperor nor himself. But he says that the me mories of Napoleon and Louis Philippe cannot be placed in hostility one to another, for " their great ness of a nature so different will meet in history without shock or combat. Drawn together, on the contrary, in their triumphs and reverses by a fatal conformity, they both had, after their fall, implac able but powerful detractors against the justice of the future." GERMANY. The Constitutional Journal of Bohemia, under date of Vienna 10th, says, " M. Delacour, Ambassador from the French Republic to our Court, has received dis patches from his Government which perfectly accord with the letters which had been received by the Cabinet from M. de Hubner. The French Minister has resolved to act in accord with Austria for the regulation of the af fairs of Germany. It is regarded as certain that France will recognise the Dietof Frankfort as soon as England shall have done so, and that until that takes place she will support it with her influence. The French diplo matic agents in Germany have received orders from the Minister of Foreign Affairs to act in this sense (particularly in the affair of Hesse), in maintaining itself on the ground of legal and constitutional prin ciples. It is positively stated that France wishes that Germany should be organized according to the treaties of 1815, and opposes any territorial changes." A COURAGEOUS WOMAN. On Wednesday last, the inhabitants of the village of Liddiard Millicent, near Swindon, were alarmed by the report that the dwelling-house of a woman who keeps a small shop had been broken into, and that some violence had been offered to the woman. The police were immediately on the alert, and Mr. Superintendent Haynes, of the Wilts constabulary force, apprehended Charles Clark, alias Embury, who resided about a mile from the woman's residence, on suspicion of being concerned in the outrage. On Monday last the prisoner was taken before the magistrates at Swindon, and the case was heard before the Earl of Radnor, the Rev. G. A. God dard, Mr. J. Crowdy, and Captain Prower. The na ture of the outrage, and the extraordinary courage displayed by the woman, will be best shown from her evidence. Keziah Prior stated—" I am a single woman. I keep a shop, and live in the house by myself. I sleep upstairs. Last Tuesday night►, about eight o'clock, no one was in the house but myself. I fastened the doors and windows. During the night I was awoke by hearing a noise like glass crashing. I thought at first it was the cat. The next.thing I heard was the catch of a bolt. In about a minute I saw a flare of light come from the room opposite my bedroom. That room looked out into the road. I j umped out of bed, and went towards my bedroom door. As I was going towards the door a man rushed upon me. He took hold of me, and we fell to the floor together. I was undermost. As we were falling he said with an oath, Deliver your money.' I screamed Murder !' We had a struggle on the floor. I got from him, and went into the room opposite my bedroom. The window of that room was open. It was shut when I went to bed. I screamed ' Murder !' The man at that time was in my bedroom; not knowing the way, he could not get between the rooms so fast as I could, and there were two steps between the rooms. The man followed me into the room; he was calling out, ' Jack, Jack, come here.' I then turned from the window and met him. We closed together and struggled. I cannot say whether he struck me there. He struck me En the bedroom. I bear the marks on my face. Illy toes were trod to pieces with his nailed shoes or boots. He got to the window and he put his right leg up to get out. I put my hands round his body and helped him up. He drew his other leg up, and I put my hand on his back and struck him as hard as I could, and said, ' That's where thee's come in, and that's where thee shall go out,' and out he went. He fell about thirteen feet, and dropped on the road. I said, ' You rogue, I hope you will break your neck.' It was a clear night. I watched him get up and scramble away. lam certain it was the prisoner. I have known him for some time, and he has been to my shop. I did not see a second man. I dressed, struck a light, and went down stairs and opened the door, and went to a neighbour's and gave an alarm." In the room was found a red cap and a heavy bluigeon ; traces of blood were on the floor, and the room presented the appearance of a most severe struggle having taken place. In the road was found a hat. The prisoner is a tall powerful man, with long black hair, repulsive features, and of tha most ruffianly appearance. It is supposed that, having entered by the window, a comrade removed the ladder by which access was gained, the prisoner's intention being to descend the stairs and open the front door, when he was attacked in such a deter mined manner by the woman, and, finding that he could not master her, and alarmed by her cries, he called for his comrade, at the same time making for the window, from which, however, the ladder had been removed. The magistrates were engaged some hours in investigating the body of evidence produced by the police, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial at the next assiz,s. ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO ROB AND MURDER BY MEANS OF CHLOROFORM. KENDAL, MONDAY.—The town has been thrown into a state of the greatest excitement and alarm by the report that a diabolical attempt had been made last night by a man who had secreted himself under a bed in Shaw's Temperance Hotel, and attempted to rob and murder a gentleman lodging in the house by the agency of chloroform. From the evidence given before the magistrates this day, it appears that the Rev. Lachlan Mllntosh, a gentleman who had been preaching at the Presbyterian Chapel in behalf of the Baptist Home Missionery Society for Scotland, had taken up his quarters on Sunday night at Shaw's Temperance Hotel in this town. Mr. Mlntosh, who had retired to bed about nine o'clock, was awoke about twelve by a fellow attempting to suffocate him by means of a rag steeped in chloroform. Mr. M`lntosle, who is an elderly man, struggled desperately with his assailant, but, whether from the fumes of the chloro form or the terrible disadvantage at which he was taken by his midnight assailant, he felt himself fast fail ing, when the cries of " Help, murder !" roused the house. When Mr. Shaw, of the Temperance Hotel, made his way into the room, the intended victim was al mcst powerless, and the assassin, or robber, was lying upon the bedding, which had fallen upon the floor in the scuffle, apparently sound asleep. On being roughly shaken, the latter professed that he had long been a sleep-walker, and appeared to be astonished to find himself where he was. A policeman was, how ever, sent for, and the supposed somnambulist was taken into custody. What gives a very dark appear ance to the case is, that a strong smell of chloroform was perceived by the parties who entered the room, upon the alarm being given, and that the next morning a bottle containing chloroform I was found under Mr. M'lntosh's bed, and a similar bottle in the carpet-bag of the prisoner, who had been at the Temperance Hotel since Satur day evening. The Reverend Gentleman's face bore strong marks of the desperate pertinacity of his noc turnal assailant. To the policeman who took the prisoner into custody he said he was a traveller, but refused to say for whom he travelled, or in what business. It appears that he had attended the Me thodist chapel twice on the day the attempt was made, and had also been once at church. On being asked what he was doing in the room of Mr. M'ln tosh, he declared that he had been a member of a Christian church for five years, that he was a sleep walker, and knew nothing of any evil intention. He was fully committed for trial. The prisoner is a young man of pallid features and a forbidding ex pression of countenance. FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 18, 1850. TRADE OF HULL. We are glad to find that the attention of all parties in this town is now steadily directed to the consider ation of the best means of effecting an early reduction of those heavy charges which are beginning to en danger the trade of the port of Hull. To the Dock Company the greatest praise is due for taking the ini tiative in a measure of which the importance to the people of Hull cannot be exaggerated. And now that we begin to examine the question in all its bear ings, we confess the surprise we. ; feel that a state of things so long calling for changl:las been suffered to remain in the position in which we find it. Why, for example, should the freemen 'of Hull be exempt from the water-bailiff's dues, while the merchant or ship owner from other places settling in Hull, and infusing new life and spirit into the trade, is compelled to pay these heavy and vexatious dues? Why should the im porter of corn, or timber, or pitch, tow, hemp, and other articles be taxed heavily, when linseed and other produce cf more modern date are exempt from the impost of water-bailiff's dues ? Why should freemen be exempt from anchorage, to the detriment of their neighbours who are not free of Hull ? And why, in these days of free trade, should British vessels pay nothing for hostage to which foreign ships are liable ? Why should foreign vessels be fined for coming to the port of Hull, when the policy of our corporation should be to encourage the arrival of alien ships ? Why should the Dock Company, who have lately expended upwards of half a million ster ling for the benefit of the p o rt, i n ma ki ng d oc k s an d building alone call e d upon to make the tr a d e o f t h e por t, t o th e x the o th er corporat i ons, which esacrificesc l usive warehouses, benefit preserve of have done nothing to increase th e f ac iliti es o f trade ? Will not the trade cf Hull decline as the trade of Bristol has declined if no reduction of our port charges be effected ? And, in such case, will not the and Trinity House suffer fact that the high rates of acting prejudicially as in revenues pproorptocr ht o proportion charges g t 1 e r s Corporation alts iiitunllot aret h e regards its trade with Northern Europe and America? increase rce it? Are not Goole, And if such be the case, should we not be up and do ingve r t y o—possessing, as we do, e Grimsby, Gainsborought Sunderland, Hartlepool, Leith, Yarmouth, Lowestoft, facility largely e a r o g u e r ly c t o o mtne Harwich, and other ports, connected as they now are with the manufac turing districts by means of railroads, making every exertion to participate in the trade carried on for cen turies at Hull ? Has not Leith shipped 15,000 bales of cotton this year to Northern Europe ? Did not 30,000 tons of foreign shipping pass our port last year for Goole, having on board 160,000 quarters of grain ? Are not our charges higher than those of any other port? And are we to be told that the cor porations of the borough and Trinity House cannot lower their rates without Acts of Parliament, and yet hear of no steps being taken to obtain such Acts ? If they be necessary, let the requisite notices be given at once, that the next session of Parliament may furnish us with the necessary powers for making all ror reductions. We recom me nd the Mayor to consult with the Town Clerk upon the desirableness of call ing an early meeting of the Town Council, for the purpose of authorising the giving of notices in time for legislation in the next session of Parliament. We wish everything to be done legally, and in order, al though we are not without an impression that the Town Clerk could suggest a mode of practically re ducing the dues during the period between this and the passing of the Act in question. There is such a thing as taking a toll with one hand, and returning it with the other; and the Town Clerk is as competent as any man in England to advise the Council how this process may be carried on, till an Act of Parlia ment can be obtained enabling the Corporation to re duce or abolish the duties now exacted. The Corpo ration of the Trinity House will not, we feel confi dent, throw any obstacles in the way of reductions so essential to the prosperity of the port. The Brethren are trustees for the poor, and in any change care will be taken to protect their just in terests.—Hull Advertiser. ---- " DALIEITH Run.—This annual market for the • sale of feeding and wintering cattle took place yesterday, when the number brought forward was fully an average of former years, though i n point of quality much inferior, a great many being of a sort of which no person could define i the breed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Thomas Cyrell Alexander David, who was some days ago brought before Mr. Alderman Gibb.l, upon the charge of having robbed Llears. Poland and Son, of Bread-street, furriers, by whom he was employed, was put to the bar upon a charge of a most extensive robbery committed on the premises of Mr. Siaeley, of 79, Watling-street, in whose employment he had been engaged before he entered the service of the first named prosecutor. Mr. Swan appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Wont ner for the defence. Inspector Mitchell, who appeehended the prisoner on the first accusation, said—ln consequence of in formation which I received I went, on the 3d of October, to a house in Watling-street, and searched the boxes of Charlotte Saunders, who is servant there, and found in them the silk, satin, velvet, and shawls, which I produce. (Here the witness produced a considerable quantity of valuable property of the kind described, amongst which were a splendid shawl dressing-gown lined with blue satin, which it wan said the prisoner had put aside for his own use, and several patterns of satin, &c.) I then went to the house, 20, Little St. Thomas Apostle, where the pri soner lodged, and where I apprehended him previously. I found in his box a shawl waistcoast, and I saw the landlady, who banded me a shawl which she said she had purchased of the prisoner. I then went to three other females, the first of whom lived in Watling street, the second in Mertin's-lane, and the third in Sise-lane, and from each of them I received a shawl, which I produce. Pannell, the officer, said—l went on the sth of Oc tober to the house of Mr. Williams, No. 10, Star street, Edgeware-road, tailor, who showed me a waistcoat which he said he had cut out of a part of a shawl which Mr. David owned, and from which he had sent home one to that gentleman. He also gave me a piece of silk, and a piece or shawl which had been cut for a waistcoat. In searching Mr. Williams's boxes above stairs 1 found a shawl, which he said he had forgotten, and which he said he had had from the prisoner. Charlotte Saunders, servant to a family in Watling street, said—l know the prisoner, and had goods from him in August last. He brought me a piece of velvet satin, which he said he could get cheap. I paid him ls. 9d. a yard for it. He also brought me a piece of black velvet at the same time, for which I was to pay him 6s. a yard. lle brought the dressing-gown (the dressing-gown already alluded to), which I was to keep for him. I remember buying a red shawl of him last Christmas for 4/. I paid him, for it, and I was to pay for the other things. He brought me a long black shawl two or three months afterwards, for which I was to pay 1/. 13s. 6d. I got from him another shawl, for which I paid him 18s. 61, and which I sold at the same price to Mary Jones; another at 18s. 61, which I sold to Amelia Penfold for the same money, and another for the same sum, which I sold at the same rate to Elizabeth Rand. He did not say where he got the satin or shawls. I asked for the invoice to see whether it was all right. Hs brought the things generally in the evening. lie gave me the invoice produced for the three shawls. Mr. Swan—Do you recollect ,going out for a walk with the prisoner at the latter end of August ? Wit ness—l do. I think he left me waiting for him in Thames-street while he went to bring the dressing gown and piece of velvet. He said he was going home. That was the last time he brought me any thing. The patterns and silk he brought to me earlier in August. The first time hr brought things to me was at Christmas. James Williams, tailor, of Star-street, Edgware road, said—l know the prisoner very well, and have done a great deal of work for him. I received from him a piece of shawl, which he told me was part of a damaged shawl, purchased by him and another young man, and of which he wished me to make him a dressing-gown. I told him there was not enough for that purpose, and he afterwards asked me to make him a waistcoat of the article. I did so, and I con sented to keep the remainder in part payment of my bill. He never told me whet ehe got it from. Mr. Mitchell, the inspector, found in my drawer a shawl, which I had from the prisoner, and for which the charge was 2 1. 12s. 63. I did not pay him for it, be cause he owed me a bill. I sometimes sent to his lodgings sometimes to Watling-street, to him. Mrs. Kelvington, of Little St. Thomas Apostle, said—l t keep a boarding-house. The prisoner has lodged with me three years. I know the red shawl produced. In June, I asked Mr. David if he could get me a shawl, and he brought me this one. I think 19s. 6d. was the price of it. I took it off his bill. I asked him to bring it from Mr. Sisley's. A police man searched his box and apnrtment. I never saw him since till now. In answer to the prisoner, the witness said she had asked him to bring two or three shawls for her to look at, which he accordingly did bring, and from which she selected one. Mr. C. D. Sisley--I am an importer of French shawls and silks, at No. 79, Watling-street. The prisoner entered my service in February, 1849, as salesman, and quitted it on the 7th of September last. I took stock I think on the 20th of last June, and then missed a great:many shawls. I left for Paris on the 21st of August, and returned on the 3d of September, and I paid the prisoner up to the 20th, and discharged him on the 7th. I went again through the stock on the 11th of September, and missed several pieces of silk and a piece of velvet. T 'ae prisoner had charge of the silk department in the superior branch. His duty was to sell and put away at night, and he had access to all the goods. It wus his duty when he sold goods to enter them before thoy were sent out. I find no entry in the books of any of the articles produced, which are all my property. Here Mr. Sisley examined the goods, and stated that they had been all stolen, and he showed that the samples found amongst the g;oods were pattern pieces of satin, and ink, and velvet, of which his premises had been plundered. The splendid dressing-gown referred to in the evidence was, he had no doubt, made of a shawl pattern, and lined with light blue satin, which had been stolen from him. Mr. Wontner stated that the prisoner had some explanations to make, which he intended to reserve for the more advanced stage of the proceedings. Inspector Mitchell said he had found in the pri soner's possession a gold watch, a gold signet ring, and a plain gold ring, for all, of which the prisoner applied. Mr. Swan submitted that us the gold watch was, in all probability, bought with the proceeds of the plun der of his client, it would be advisable to detain it. The prisoner said he could prove that he had the watch in his possession long before he went into the service of Mr. Sisley. Inspector Mitchell said hc had heard persons in the establishment state that the ?risoner had got the watch some time after he was engrged in the service. Alderman GIBBS said the rings, which appeared to be old, and of very little value, might be given up to the prisoner, but the watch must be kept for the order of the Central Criminal Cov,rt. Three of the female witnesses having expressed great reluctance to appear to give evidence against the prisoner at the Central Criminal Court, Alderman GIBBS, in binding them over, solemnly assured them that, if they were not punctual in their attendance at the trial, a heavy punishment would await them. _ _ The prisoner was then committed. The loss by plunder in the house within the last few months amounts, we are given to understand, to between 3001. and 4001. GUILDHALL. John Stevenson, alias Price alias Williams, alias Johnson, alias Willis, alial Wilson, alias Wilkinson, who was remanded from la st Friday, by Alderman Sidney, on the charge of obtaining various sums of money from several respectable firms, undes fraudu lent pretences, was again placed at the bar, for fur ther examination, before Alderman Hooper, relative to that and a great number of similar charges. The depositions taken on the former examination were then read over, and thu following additional evi dence adduced : Edward Rea examined--I am a chemist and var nish manufacturer, and carrying on business at 115, Wardour-street. I know the prisoner. He came to me in February last, and represented that he could make a peculiar oil from mangold wurtzel. He showed me a sample of oil, which he said he had pro duced from that article by is process he had discovered. He could make it at an expense of from threepence to fourpence per gallon. He said he did not know the value of it, or what purpose it could be applied to. He said he was a tutor in an establishment, and his means were therefore very limited. He wished me to enter into an agreement to provide an apparatus for the manufacture of the article in a wholesale way, and to share in the profits. An agreement was accordingly drawn up between us for that purpose, and on signing it I paid prisoner a deposit of 91. 103. He then undertook to make the remainder of the apparatus himself, and to put it together, and make the experiment at my house. About a fort night after this he brought a large parcel packed close and tightly sealed, which he said formed parts of the apparatus, and was particularly anxious in cautioning me that it was not to be opened until he was ready to commence operations. I paid him at that time a further sum of 15/. to 251. I cannot re collect the precise amount, as I paid it by a cheque. I never saw prisoner afterwards until the present moment. Prisoner said he would bring a blacksmith the next day, to assist in putting up the apparatus. Finding, however, that I could hear nothing more of the prisoner, I opened the parcel he had left, and found it contained only an old tin can worth about a shilling. I then inquired at the address he gave me, at Alpha Cottages, Brixton, but could obtain no in formation of the prisoner there. Alderman HOOPER—Did you not try any chemi cal experiments with the sample he left, to ascertain what it was made from ? Witness—l did not analyse it ; but I think it was a compound &I ; there was a strong smell of copaiba about it, but it looked very like olive oil. I, however, had my doubts witn re spect to the prisoner's ability to make it at such a trifling expense. I never heard of oil being extracted from mangold wurtzel. lie gave me the name of Charles Johnson. Cross-examined by the prisoner —I sent to Alpha Cottages, and no such name was to be found. I ad vanced the money before I made any inquiry into your general character. Orlando 'idler, of 4, Thornhill-place West, Is lington, said—l carry on business at 29, Cowcross - street, under the firm of " James Crease and Sons," colourmen and varnish manufacturers. I believe prisoner is the party that came to me in April, 1849, under the name of Wilkinson. He brought a sample of a bright red colour in powder, which ho said he had discovered in a course of galvanic experiments, by mere accident. He said he did not know what it was, or what was the value of it, but he could produce it at an expence of not more than sixpence per lb. He was unwilling to sell the process, but proposed that we should manufacture it, and give him a share in the profits. Ho then represented that the apparatus required could be purchased at a very trifling expense compared to the enormous profit to be derived from the manufacture of the article wholesale. After some negotiations, we at length agreed to advance a sum not exceeding 301., for the purchase of the necessary apparatus. We had no agreement in writing, and a few days after this arrangement he sent in some parcels wrapped up in brown paper and very carefully sealed. The porter produced a bill for ' • 191. 10s., and a note from the prisoner requesting me to pay it, as he had purchased all the principal parts of the machinery he required to carry out his plans w ith. He gave his address 18, Arlington-street, Camden-town, and observing that he had not been near us fur some time, we instituted inquiries in Camden Town, but we found he had never lived there. My partner paid the money to the porter, who gave him a stamped receipt, signed " Charles Wilkinson." Pri soner cautioned me in his note, that the parcels he had sent were not to be opened until I sfts.v him again ; and shortly after, he sent more apparatus, end a note requesting me to pay the enclosed bill of 101. 10s. I however declined to pay any more, unless I could see the prisoner, who never showed himself again to me. But even then we had no suspicion that we were being duped. The porter professed to know nothing whatever of the prisoner. I ultimately opened the brown paper parcels, which I found contained several small sheete of zinc, rolled u 2, and some zinc pipes. I should say they are worth about 3s. 6d. or 4s. I never saw prisoner again until now. The letters received by these witnesses were here put in and examined and compared with others received from the prisoner, and were identified by several par ties, who were present at the last examination, and gave their evidence, as the handwriting of the pri soner. Daniel May, of the City detective force, said when prisoner came to the station on Thursday, the 12th of the present month, he said he lived at 4, Marl borough-road, Oil Kent-road. I made inquiry, and ascertained he had lived there about eighteen months, in the name of John Stevenson. Previous to that I found he had been living at 32, Ernest-street, Ber mondsey, in the same name. He was ;a clerk in Mr. Prince's patents office, at Charing-cross, from 1840 to 1942, and since that he hss opened a patent office in Earl-street, Blackfriars, on his own account. After that he lived in Drury-lane, where he represented himself as an engineer, and practised the present game. On Friday last, as I was conveying prisoner from this court to the Giltapur-street Compter, he said it was poverty that made him do it. He was I starving, and he saw it was an easy mode of getting money, and he was driven to it. As for Mr. Floc ton, prisoner said be thought him a perfect, gentleman, and he wished to pay him back what he hat had from him. I told prisoner that he had had frequent op portunities to do so had he felt inclined. lie replied that he was aware of that, and said that " money ob tained in this way never does any one any good." Prisoner—l mean to say that whenever I have had opportunities of filling situations honourably I have done so. But when I find myself out of employment, and my means exhausted, my wife and children for twelvemonths with nothing more than a blanket to cover them, and on the verge of starvation, I could no longer hesitate upon the course I have since adopted. I hope, your Worship, if you are going to pass sentence on me, that you will be kind enough to order me solitary confinement. Alderman HOOPER—I am not about to pass sen tence upon you, I think that duty will devolve upon a higher tribunal. I shall, however, be under the neces sity of remanding you, in order that we may have time to go into any other cases that may be brought against you. Prisoner—l assure you they are all similar cases. Alderman HOOPER—There seems to have been a regular system carried on to defraud the unwary and trusting tradesman. Prisoner—There was no system, your Worship, it was all the same thing.—(Laughter.) Alderman HOOPER—Then we'll call it an organised system of plunder.---The prisoner was then remanded. TRAM ES. Mr. Robert Pride, the master of the ship Governor M'Donald, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with assaulting and falsely imprisoning David Isbaster, a seaman, at Camaroon, on the west coast of Africa, in May last. Mr. Vessey appeared for the defendant. The case was one of a most extraordinary cha racter. It appeared from the lengthened statement made by Isbaster that he and another seaman, named Bainbridge, were charged with plundering the cargo and broaching a cask of rum at Cameroon, and they were ordered to prepare to go on shore. Expecting very horrible treatment from the natives, they refused to leave the forecastle, and were hauled up. A black chief called King Bill was on board at the time, and he promised Isbaster and Bainbridge that they should not be flogged. They were forced into a canoe and taken on snore by some Kroomen and others, King Bill's subjects, and put into a miserable hut, and confined until next day, when the chief mate came on shore with a pound of bread for their subsistence, but no water was served out, not withstanding they were suffering from a dreadful thirst and the intense heat of the climate. The chief mate, who said he was acting by the master's orders, directed the natives to take Isbaster to another old hut, with the side of it knocked down, and he was chained to a tree in the middle of the hut by the leg, the chain having about three fathoms drift, to enable him to walk. In this state the sea man was kept for about five weeks, and his sufferings were dreadful. He had nothing but the damp earth to lie en by night, and he was exposed to a burning sun by day ; his feet were burnt and bitten by mus quitoes and other insects, his legs were severely cut by the chain, and he' was compelled to exchange a portion of his daily allowance of bread for water, of which he had a very scanty supply. Some of his clothes were also disposed of to the natives, to obtain a few necessaries. He was frequently taunted by the blacks, and threatened that he should be eaten. Bain bridge was told more than once, by the chief mate, that he would be permitted to return to the ship, if he would ask the captain's pardon, and admit his guilt; but as he had not done anything wrong except drink ing some rum which another man gave him, he re fused to do so, and he was kept in confinement until the ship was ready to sail, when he was taken on board. He had never entirely recovered the effects of the horrible treatment he met with on the coast of Africa. A great portion of the bread was stolen by the natives, and by his sable Majesty King Bill, on its way from the ship to the hut. Bainbridge, who was also treated and chained in a similar manner, fell sick; and about four days before Isbaster was taken on board his chain was taken off his leg, to enable him to at!end on his afflicted shipmate, who never rallied, and he died five days after he was sent on board. The hut where Bainbridge was confined was described to be a very stinking place, filled with cobwebs. The old king, and father of the monarch, King Bill, had died in it, and it had been inhabited by no ono but the two sailors since his death. James Taylor, a seaman, confirmed the statement of Isbaster as to what occurred on board, the sufferings of Isbaster, and the death of Bainbridge. The defence set up by Mr. Vessey was, that Is baster and Bainbridge had been plundering the cargo, getting drunk, and committing acts of insubordina tion, and Mr. J. Farmer, the chief-mate, was examined on the captain's behalf, and endeovoured to make out that the African (King Bill) was a most important per sonage, and was on board with his guards (six black slaves), and there being no place to confine the men on board, King Bill was consulted, and said he would take care of them on shore. The complainant and his shipmate said they would not go on shore, unless they were compelled, and threatened to knife him; and during a struggle on deck he was cut with some sharp instrument. He visited the two seamen every morn ing on shore. They were chained by their legs, but they appeared to be in good health ; and the first day he saw them they were playing at draughts. The seamen abused the witness, and when he reported it to his Majesty King Bill and the supercargo, his Majesty ordered them to be separated. Mr. YARDLEY—Majesty, indeed l stuff and non sense. What sort of a place was the but where the two men were confined ? Mr. Farmer—The king lived up one pair of stairs, and one man below. Mr. YARDLEY — They were confined in the King's palace, then. After some further evidence, and a long discussion, from which it appeared that Isbaster and Bainbridge were chained up from April 18 to the 4th of June, and that both stood in great danger of being killed by the savages, Mr. YARDLEY said this was a very extraordinary occurrence indeed, and deserved a grave inquiry. He should not decide upon the case himself. He wished DIE.O. °t On the 14th inst., at Levant-house, Sussex, Maria, wife Major-General James Cloud Bourchier. wells , On the 16th inst., aged 23, Alfred, second son o f Mr. " of Surbiton-road, Kingston, Surrey. „,.. o hil' On the 1 4th inst., at Hanger-lane, Tottenham, P . - ston, Esq., aged 61. „ n ee 4 On the 13th inst., at Brighton, aged 3°, Agnee, i c)-4 ' daughter of the late D.

Mr. Pelham said the man had been with him, end he had offered to conduct his case, and sue the 0 1 1 3- tain in the County Court for damages, or take it to the ressions. The man had made a very long s t a te: ment to him, which he would now put in ; and b e had received a letter in reply to one written to th e ca r tain, which was to the following effect: — " 7 7 Gros" venor-street, Commercial-road, Oct. 14, 1850 . --P ' in reply to your note of the 11th instant, resp ecting the illegal imprisonment of Isbaster, I beg t o state that he was found in the hold of the ship, broa ching the cargo, -which is stated in the mate's log-book, 1113. parently making arrangements for trading with the negroes.
