FRANCE. The National has the following on the discussion on the Municipal Bill and on the Electoral Law of the 31st May, 1850 . It brings forwa rd statistical tables to show that the departments which have been most affected by the law of May 31 are almost without exception those where either Republican or Lgal matist doctrines most prevail, and draws the inference that the object of that measure was to lead to the It then eventual triumph of the Orleanist party• proceeds as follows : " It is to be concluded from that that M. Thiers and his ,friends cleverly played their games. In causing twenty or thirty Democratic Repres e ntatives, and twenty or thirty Legitimatists to disappear from the National Assembly, and in causing them to be replaced by men of their own cor, the would have re y lou co nstituted the old ma jority of the Chamber of Deputies before 1848 and there would only have been wanting, for the . thing to be completely played out, that the Prince de Joinville should be nominated to the Presidency of the Republic. He would certainly have had the support of such an Assembly even if he had not obta in e d the two millions of votes required by the Cons titution. Our readers know that after hav ing conjured away . universal suffrage, the second part of gn was in course of execution, and that there the c ampfsi was seriously a question in their private meetings, of the candidateship of the Prince de Joinville. But L. Na poleon and the Legitimatists, who fell into the snare, pe rceived the design in time. On one hand, the Le gitimatists said, This law of the 31st May is a de testable law —it deprives us of our peasants.' Louis Napoleon, on his part, said, This law is a monstrosity, for not only does it take away my peasants, but also my workmen of the tow ns , who, though voting for the Socialists, have voted for me.' Hence the double tactics of the Legiti ma ti s t s an d of the President of the Repub lic. The first have occupied themselves in drawing up a law more monstrous than that of the 31st May, a law which would restore to them their peasants, but which would continue to keep out the workmen of the towns. This law is that which has been presented by M. de Vatimesnil, reporter of the Municipal Committee. On his Part, M. L. Napoleon, to bring hack his peas ants a nd his workmen, and at the same time set aside M. de Join ville and the Legitimatists has imagined nothing better than to propose the :Ample repeal of the law of the 31st of May. Let tools see in the conduct of the Legiti matists and of the President of the Repu blic, the desire to return to legality, or to moralise universal suffrage; but, tor our part, we see nothing else therein than more or less disguised calculations of de ceived ambitious par ties, desirous of saving their stakes in the game. As to the New Municipal Bill, in it the law of the 31st of May, if it be not aggravated, is purely and simply maintained for workmen who have not satisfied the law of recruitment in the placelin which they have fixed their domicile." It thus comments on the resolution adopted by the Republicans to abstain from taking any part in the discussion on the Municipal Bill. It says : "The Left cannot be your dupe to-day any more than it was your dupe yesterday. It will not risk in the wretched proposition you make it e ith er th e di g nity or the imprescripuble principle of pop u l a r s ov e reignty. It will abstain. The country will appltud this resolution. We will imitate the silence of the Left. We will say nothing of the discussion which commenced yesterday. We will not serve es echoes to the eloquence of M. Barrot, 11. de Vatimesnil, M. Faucher, and other honour. .ables, disputing amongst themselves on the perils or the tam , nse advantaAes of the general register." The Burgraves have sought an alliance with the extreme Left, and have endeavoured to induce them to join in an impeachment of the President, the Left have no objection to the impeachment, provided the expedition to Rome, and the abolition of universal suff cage be made the grounds of it, but not otherwise. FRANCE, RUSSIA, AND TURKEY. The Journal des Debats gives the following intel ligence, which it has received from its correspondent at Constantinople, by the last mail We have already spoken of the autograph letter, addressed by the Emperor of Russia to the Sultan, demanding as a favour, to make no concession to France (who indeed asks for none, since she only requires the execution of the treaty of 1740), but to maintain things at Jerusalem in the state in which they are at present. The Minister of France, notwithstanding the rights secured to us by the treaties of 1690 and 1740 with the Porte, treaties admitted by it as the bases of the nego tiations, thought that he might enable the Divan to hasten the solution of the question, by proposing an ar rangement to the effect, that' the four sanctuaries, which, according to the treaties, are ours, should be used in common by the Greeks and Latins for the celebra tion of their respective forms of worship. This arrangement appeared to be accepted ; but the Mi nister of Foreign Affairs said that participation ought to be extended to all the sanctuaries without dis tinction ; so that the Latins who possess fourteen sanctuaries would have given up seven to receive two. The status quo was preferable to such an arrangement. The French Legation could not accept it, and Rome and all the Catholic powers, with the xception of Naples, which makes common cause with Russia, would have protested against it. The negotiations were accordingly broken off. It is clear that the letter of the Emperor, which Ali Pacha saw, but which did not become known to the corps diptomatique until after it was presented to the Sultan, was the obstacle which stopped the Divan, and prevented the conclusion of such an equitable and liberal arrangement. When this circumstance became known ithe negotiations took another turn. The departure of M. de Reculot, Secretary of Le gation at Constantinople, which was to have taken place on the 24th October, was delayed eight days, on account of a promise of the Grand Vizier and Ali Pacha to submit the affair to the Legation. It sub sequently became known that the new proposition in tended was nothing else than the olsi one set aside by the Legation—the common participation in all the sanctuaries. But the Porte has not dared to make it, either from the conviction that France will refuse it, or from the consideration that as Russia has formally demanded the status quo, it would be in opposition to the Emperor's letter. In a conference - which M. de Titeff had with the Grand Vizier and the Minister of Foreign Atiaira on this letter, he de clared that the Greeks have rights previous to the treaties of 1690 and 1740 with France; that as pro tector of the Greek religion, the Emperor, his mas ter (and probably theirs also), was under the obli gation of maintaining those rights; that the Porte could do nothing with France without first examin ing the question with Russia; and that he had orders to break off his relations, and to retire with all his Legation if the Porte, disregarding this right, should not maintain things at Jerusalem in the strictest status quo. Thus the situation has be come aggravated. It is not to be doubted that the Porte is greatly offended at the pretension of Russia to submit the execution of treaties with other powers to its good pleasure. It was even said that the Grand Vizier and Ali Pad'a had offered their resignation to the Sultan, who, however, had not accepted them. But at the bottom, the menaces of Russia cause alarm, and befor e t a ki ng a d ec i s i ve step , t h e C a bi net at Con stantinople would he glad to know what will be the resoluti on of the French Government.

ANOTHER DARING BURGLARY IN HEREFORDSHIR E We have this week, we are sorry to say, the pain ful duty of recording one of the most atrocious rob beries that have been committed in this county for many years, the villains who perpetrated it evidently being determined, as in the recent cases of burglary at Oldbury, in Worcestershire, and Burford, to sa crifice life, should any obstacle be presented to the fulfilment of their designs. The offence to which we refer was committed on the premises of Miss Morris, a maiden lady, residing in the parish of Weston Beggard. ... l About th ree o ' c l oc k on S un d a y mo rning last Miss - s orris's h ouse was en t ere d b y t h ree me n.

There was here an w hich the thieves turned •4- ~, 4N . 9lAett - -'4.1 , a bowl, AI a ---v../.. THE SUN, down, and having filled a tea-cup and a china tea-pot with water, they left the room. Up to this time the inmates (Miss Morris and a servant man) had not heard anything of the robbers. The three men then proceeded up stairs, and two of them entered Miss Morris's bed-room, when she awoke, and discovered the men at her bedside with their faces either blackened or covered with crape, and one of them with a large bludgeon in one hand, and a lighted candle in the other. The other fellow rushed upon her before she could scream, threw a sheet over her face, pressed down on her chest, and threatened to murder her if she made any noise, or in any wa y resisted. In the room was a table, having on it a piece of furniture with three drawers in it. The middle one had a square front, while the others bad s emicircular fronts attached. The outer drawers they succeeded in taking out, and these they left on the table, having taken out what they found of value. However, the other drawer was locked, and suspecting it to contain valuables, in which conjecture they were right, determined upon carrying the whole away, which it will be seen they did. In these drawers were eight crown pieces, a purse and a sovereign in it. In the square one, which was locked, was about 121. in gold, three 51. Bank of England notes, and other bank notes to the amount of about 601. While the men were ran sacking this room, the screams of Miss Morris aroused the servant man, who had up to that time continued to sleep in peaceful security. The door of the bed room of this man opened into the same passage or landing as that of his mistress. On hearing the noise he jumped out of bed with the intention of finding out the cause of the noise. He had proceeded as far as the bed-room door, which he opened, when he was met by a tall man, standing about six feet high, dressed in a dark coat, and having on his head a " Jim Crow" hat. As he attempted to go out the fellow bid him hold ! adding, "d— your b— eyes, if you make any resistance I will blow your b— brains out," at the same time presenting a gun at him. This so completely frightened the man that he was unable to make any alarm. This fellow (the burglar) had his face blackened, and had previously cried out to the other thieves, on hearing Miss Morris scream, to " murder the b— old --." The thi eve s having secured t hei r b o oty , prepared to leave. Two of them went down stairs together, and the one which had appeared more determined than the others, and was armed with a gun, followed his comrades. They went into the back- kitchen, from which they took a ham of bacon, and having cut a flitch through the middle, they carried it away with the other booty. They subsequently opened the back-kitchen door, through which they retreated. Having gone a short distance from the premises they returned, evidently for the purpose of further intimidating the inmates. They proceeded to the front of the house, and having consulted for a very short time, they discharged the gun at the window, through which they had entered, and by doing so shattered the window glass and frame to pieces, besides knock ing the ceiling off the top of the room, a proof that the gun must have been heavily loaded. The ser vant man then followed them for some distance, and went and gave information to the persons living in the neighbourhood, and among others to the house of Mr. Lewis, the parish constable, who immediatety got up. One man of the name of Thomas Powell, on being informed of the robbery, refused to come down stairs and assist in the pursuit which was about to be made after the thieves. Mr. Heaford, a respectable farmer, residing in the neighbourhood, on being informed of the robbery, im mediately saddled his horse and rode with speed to Hereford, first calling at the house of Mr. Morris, of Sheckenhill, a brother of the lady who had been robbed. Mr. Heaford called upon Superintendents Gregory, of the Hereford county constabulary, and Adams, of the city police ; and they, in company with Sergeant Griffiths, were on the spot some time before day had dawned. Previous to leaving Western Beg gard, Mr. Heaford took the precaution to dispatch a messenger to Ledbury for Superintendent Shead, and Gregory, on receiving information, dispatched another messenger to Superintendent Marshall, of Bromyard. A search was immediately commenced by the po lice-officers. While Messrs. Adam and Gregory were examining the premises, Sergeant Griffith, who had gone out into the orchard adjoining the turnpike-road, and was searching the ditches, discovered the box which the thieves bad taken from the house. The middle drawer, which had resisted the attempts of the burglars to open it while they were in the bed room, appeared to have been forced open with the same instrument that had been used at the parlour door. He took it to the house, and upon ex amination it was found that all the things had not been taken out, but that the burglars had, no doubt cunningly, left behind whatever they conceived might be readily identified. There still remained in it a number of bank cheques, a quantity of important acknowledgments of money paid, a 51. Bank of Eng land note, and other valuable papers. The police continued to work about the lanes and fields for miles around the premises. It was late on Sunday evening before the police gave up their pur suit, when Marshall and Shead proposed to scour the lanes and bye-roads on their way home. Mr. Adams and other members of the City police force, on arriving in Hereford, searched the various lodging-houses, in the hope 'of dropping upon the burglars, but with as little success as before. Miss Morris has offered a reward of 201. fur the apprehension and conviction of the offenders. LATEST PARTICULARS.—SinCe the above was writ ten the police have been unremitting in their endea vours, and circumstances have transpired which war rant us in believing they will ultimately lead to the capture of the robbers. At present it would be pre. mature, and perhaps injudicious, to hazard an opi nion ; but a pursuit has commenced, and we trust the object of it will not turn out to be a phantom.— Hereford Journal. KOSSUTH. (From the Derbyshire Courier.) The extraordinary sensation which the appearance of this gentleman on British soil has created, has sur prised toll his enemies and friends. Much, doubt less, is to be attributed to the marked ability which M. Kossuth has displayed in his very eloquent and talented addresses. To hear a Hungarian statesman and soldier haranguing an English audience in their own language is something; but to find that he can do so with perspicuity and elegance through a lengthened discourse, and that what is said is distinguished not only by glowing and fervent ex pressions of patriotism, but by that busi ness-like common sense which the English are apt to imagine is almost exclusively their own particular national attribute, is sufficient to account for much of the enthusiasm of approval with which M. Kossuth's appearances before the British public have been received. This, we say, may account for much, but not for all. The English people were prepared to give a man whom they regard as the representative of Hungarian nationality a cor dial and hearty welcome. The English have not been cold or uninterested observers of the attempts which have, for long years, been making by the Hungarians to improve their social and politi cal condition. The demonstrations of popular feel ing at Southampton, London, and Birmingham prove that such is the case. But were it at all matter cf doubt that great masses of the English population do take a warm interest in the welfare of Hun gary, the reception oflM. Kossuth at Manchester would decide the point. " The enthusiasm," says the reporter of the Times, " was unmistakeable. From the station to the Victoria Arch, about three quarters of a mile, the whole population of Manchester was really in the course of the route, and it is no exagge ration to say that there were 200,000 people present. All the shop shutters were up, and it was stated by many that there were more people in the street than on the occasion of the Queen's visit." The Free Trade Hall was crowded in the evening to present the address to M. Kossuth, "as it never was even in the palmiest days of the League." Now we ask, with M. Kossuth, "Is this an accident ? Is this fashion ? Is this personal ? It is not. The plain fact is this. The English people think the Austrian Government too bad. The English people think the Russian interference with Hungary too bad also. We cannot, of course, enter into full details of the mal administration of Austrian affairs. In an excellent letter which we give in this week's Courier, headed Kossuth, Austria, and Hungary, which emanates fro m a perfectly trustworthy and independent source, and carries internal evidence of its being the produc tion of one well versed in Austrian and Hungarian w politics, and to hich we refer our readers, we are told that the p resent h "system t of arbitrary heavy taxation, at variance w i t h all made by the house eseisiolemnly sw o r n e n g a ge ments" and irritating to every class, apsburgh " i s mos t anno yi ng and to all the different races of which the kingdom of Hun g ary is com posed.", Here is a perfectly Eng lish grievance —arn i trary taxation—th e very thing which was one of the chief causes of our o And how true t he accusation is every one revolution. who has p a id the least attention t o Austrain doings well knows. A ga i n , " the hopes of the aristocracy of being able to exercise salutary control over the Go vernment by the constitutional means of refusing to pay taxes unless voted lawfully by the Diet, are crushed with an iron hand by military power"---that is, by the assistance of 190,000 Russian soldiers. W e say nothing of Austrian spies, Austrian dungeons, the absurd, childish, and ridiculous system of inter ference with the liberty of the press and the liberty of the subject, which makes Austria a bye-word among the nations. All these things are matters of common notoriety. But indepen dently of a ll t hi s , h er t rea tment of Hungary has been so unwarrantable, and the Russian aggres sion onso unjustifiable, that there is, and has long been, strong and decided opinion on the subject in M. England ; an d K , 088utia visit has but furnished the opportunity for this feeling to manifest itself. M. Kossuth may think a republic the best form of Government for Hungary. We differ faom him there. But we do not wish to see this ancient and brave race crushed by a military despotism. In fact the nations of Europe are gradually drawing together as one great family. The bad govern ment of one member of the family re-acts on the well-being of all. We are all interested in the moral, social, and religious improvement of our neighbours. A government such as Austria tends to bring good governments, and all governments„into contempt ; and, as M. Kossuth has said, the ab surd and obsolete fiscal and commercial re gulations of the Austrians injure us, as well as themselves. And thus it happens that the English have now expressed their open and decided condemnation of Austrian policy. And we tell the Hungarians to take courage, to persevere in their attempts to obtain a constitutional reform of all abuses, and a rational, just, and practical system of government; such a system as may secure to all classes—high and low, the noble and the peasant— their fair share of personal, political, and social liberty. The occurrence of the last fortnight will not be thrown away. True, we shall send no army to Hun gary. We have no wish to involve Europe in war to obtain redress for the Hungarians. But the expres sion of the public opinion of nations—and such na tions, moreover, as England and America—cannot be unimportant; It has a moral influence which cannot be calculated. Public opinion, the press, and last, not least, the railway system are fighting, day by day, the cause of good government all over the world. Hungary's day will come. May it come soon. EXPLOSION of FIRE DAMP at BURNDEN. Since the explosion of fire damp in Lord Bradford's coal mine, at Burnden, on the morning of the Bth inst., the most untiring efforts have been made to extinguish the fire, in order to rescue the bodies of the two unfor tunate men who could not be reached in consequence of the sulphur in the mine. About 25 feet from the surface of the down-east shaft there was erected a furnace, in which to generate carbonic acid gas, or choke-damp, to extinguish the fire in the mine, on Mr. Gurney's prin ciple. This furnace was supplied with coke, charcoal, unburnt limestone, and slack, materials which, in a state of combustion, produce carbonic acid gas abundantly. From the furnace a communication was made, by means of 12in. cast-iron pipes, to a wooden box or cistern con taining water. From the top of the cistern the com munication was continued to a wooden pipe projecting into the shaft, and made tight at the stopping, so that the gas, as generated, was forced into the mine. Inside the wooden pipe there was a steam jet, supplied from the boilers, the effect of which was to cause the furnace to draw downwards; and thus force the gas into the pit. Below the steam jet a pipe was inserted for the supply of water, and tbis pipe having a fine rose at the eud, the water was spread very finely among the steam, producing a spray so light as to be held in suspension, and carried with the carbonic acid gas through the different workings of the mine. This spray would also have the effect of cooling that part of the mine which was on fire. At the top of the up-cast shaft an iron pipe was fixed, with a steam jet at the bottom to increase the draught. Thus the choke-damp and steam were forced into the pit by the down-cast shaft, whilst the up-cast shaft operated as a chimney to carry off the gas when its office was per formed. On Friday afternoon it was ascertained that the mine was full of choke-damp, and at five o'clock on Monday morning it was thought advisable to stop the furnace, the opinion being that the fire must be extin guished. The top was therefore removed from the down cast shaft, and atmospheric air was admitted freely into the mine. During the day considerable difficulty was felt in consequence of the heat of the down-cast shaft obstructing the current from it to the up-cast shaft; but yesterday morning the shaft had got nearly cool, and a good current was established, so that there is every rea son to hope that the bodies will be got out this morning. Mr. Gurney's plan has succeeded admirably in the pre sent instance,—Manchester Guardian. SEABORNE MAILS.

MONEY MARKET.—The quotation of gold at Paris is at about par (according to the new tariff ), which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10Id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.17 ; and the ex change at Paris on London at short being 25.15, it follows that gold is about 0.08 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 430 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. loid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.7 i ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.81, it follows that gold is 0.58 per cent. dearer in Londoa than in Hamburgh. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at GO days' sight is liti per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.67 per cent. in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for difference of interest and charges of transport, the present rate leaves a small profit in the importation of gold from the United States. goanedn preach the dis to disobedience A RESPONSE.—Th e Star Spangled Banner says that, not long si nce , i n South Carolina, a clergyman who was preac hing snded to Nncienevoiftejso, neaxhclwahimenedcion a com manded of thunder, that passed th roug h t h e congregat i on l i ke m an electric shock, and are there any Jonahs here?"

Murray, woollen-warehouseman, Gresham-street, applied for his certificate. The balance sheet, from Jan. 1, 1850, to July 8, 1851, shows the following :—Creditors unsecured, 6,0251.; ditto hold ing security, 3,425/. ; liabilities, 7,1971. ; grant of life policy, 542/. ; profits, 1,726/. ; cash, 21/. , debtors, good, 7201.; doubtful, 1411.; property to realize, 1,759/. ; property claimed, 2951.; property in the hands of creditors, 2,900/. ; trade expenses, 2,396/. ; personal expenses, 849/. ; losses, 1,271/. ; deficiency, Jan. 1., 1850. 1,3221. Mr. Lawrence supported the bankrupt. Mr. LINYLATER, for the assignees, offered no op.. position, but wished to examine the bankrupt on behalf of Messrs. Mallinson, who were creditors, re lative to the disposal of some goods. The bankrupt, upon being 'xamioed by Mr. Link later, said he had purchased goods of Messrs. Mallis son on the 20th of May. These goods were sold in the regular course of business ; none of them were pawned. In fancy goods they were obliged to make sacrifices at the end of a season. It was certainly untrue that he had pawned goods. The largest parcel was sold to Parkins, of Chespside. He un derstood they were pledged by Parkins. He (Par kins) was since a bankrupt. He had never pledged or undersold goods himself. The goods sold to Mr. Parkins were invoiced in the ordinary way, and were sold at an advance o❑ the cost price. Mr. LINKLATER here observed that he had no evi dence to show the improper parting with goods, and left the case to his Honour. The bankrupt (to the Commissioner)—Parkins owed him about 8001. Mr. LAWRANCE, in reply to the Commissioner, ex plained some bill transactions with Vevers, which he submitted could not be called accommodation bills, and called his Honour's attention to the fact that the bankrupt had not preferred family to others of his trade creditors. The assignees offered no opposition. There had been no pledging of goods proved against the bankrupt ; he had, in fact, never pledged goods in his life, and never sold goods under cost price, ex cept when they had become depreciated by change of fashion, which ninety-nine out of a hundred who came into that court could not say. With regard also to the bookkeeping, there was this fact strong in the bankrupt's favour, that as the bankruptcy ap• proached the bookkeeping became better. With re gard to his transactions with Vevers, they could only be called incautious, and he (Mr. Lawrence) trusted that the Court would grant a first class certificate. The COMMISSIONER said he id not think that any weight could be attached to the charge of having pledged or having sold under cost price the goods which were supplied by the opposing creditors, though at the same time he should intimate his opinion that his transaction with Parkins was not a prudent one, and it had resultod in a heavy loss. He (the Com missioner) was prepared to give the bankrupt credit for honesty of intention, but he had been both with regard to Parkins and Vevers rash and improvident ; the result was shown by the figures before him. Having a deficiency of 1,3001. in January, 1850, it did not matter whether it was due to trade creditors or to family creditors ; he was 1,3001. behind the world. His Honour, after looking through the figures on the balance-sheet, and observing that the profits were 1,7001. and the trade expenses 2,3001., said that under the circumstances, although he gave the bankrupt credit for honesty of intention and for having recently kept his books well, he could not see that the bankruptcy was attributable to unavoidable loss and misfortune ; and he could not give a certifi cate higher than one of the third class. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. WITHAM, Deputy• Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates, at Clerkenwell.) Yesterday James Norman was indicted, charged with having unlawfully sold certain indecent and ob scene prints and publications. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution. The defendant pleaded Guilty, and urged in miti gation of punishment that he had a wife and family, and an aged mother, who was blind, dependent upon him for their support. Mr. CLARKSON was sorry to have to press upon the attention of the Court that the defendant did not stand simply in the position of a circulator of these filthy publications among individuals, but was a wholesale dealer, furnishing these things to parties who were con nected with the shipping interest at and about Wap ping and Ratcliffe. That fact alone was sufficient ground for the Society for the Suppression of Tice, for whom he appeared, not joining in the appeal for mercy which had been made by the defendant. The COURT sentenced the defendant to imprison ment and hard labour for twelve months. Alborough Richardson Davis, described as a wine merchant, carrying on business in Bow-lane, Cheap side, and having a private residence at Harrow, sur rendered to take his trial on an indictment, charging him with having stolen a pony and chaise, of the value of 401., the property of James Henry Edwards. Mr. Clarkson conducted the case for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Parry defended the prisoner. The prosecutor deposed that he is a licensed vic tualler, and keeps the Royal Yacht public-house in Stanhope-street, Clare-market. He said—On the 18th of October the prisoner, with whom I was ac quainted, called upon me in the early part of the day, accompanied by a person named Boyes. I did not know Boyes until that time. They came in a pony chaise—the hour was between nine and ten in the morning. I was upstairs when they called, and on being informed by the bar boy that they were below, I came down stairs. I found Davis standing in front of the bar, and Boyes was in the parlour. Davis asked me to lend him some money on some dock transfers for wine. I asked him to let me see them, and he called Boyes from the parlour, and told him to show me the transfers which he had in his pocket. I looked at them and returned them to him, and said I could not advance money upon them, as he might go outside the house and make a transfer to somebody else. He said he must have money ; the transfers were worth 1951., and he must get some money to re• lease them from Mr. Boyes, who held them as secu rity for an overdue acceptance of 28/. 103. He said he was in a very bad state for want of money, and showed me some duplicates of watches. He then asked me to lend him some money on a pony and chaise, which were outside. I refused to do so, and he then asked me to buy the pony and chaise. I said I would. He went into a room and agreed that I was to buy them for 401. I was about to write a cheque for the amount when he said that would not do, as he wanted to pay Boyes and get the transfers. I had not sufficient cash in the house, but I saw Mr. Wheeler, a friend of mine, in the parlour, and I asked him to lend me the money. He lent me two 101. notes and 12 sovereigns, and I put eight sovereigns to them and paid the 401. to Davis. I requested Mr. Wheeler to be a witness to the transaction, which he was. Wheeler went with me into the parlour and saw me pay the money. I said, " Now, Davis, the pony and chaise belong to me," to which he replied, " Certainly they do." I then went out and got into the chaise, and Davis followed me out of the house and got in too. As I was driving towards Elliott's livery stables in Drury-lane, through Newcastle street, the prisoner asked me to purchase some of the wine the transfers related to. I said I would if it suited me. He said, Let us drive down to the docks and see the wine. I said I would not do that, but that I would go with him after I had put the pony and phaeton up at the stable. I went to the stable, gave the pony and phaeton into the charge of the ostler, told him it was my property, and to take care of it. We then took a cab and went to the docks, where the clerk said they bad no such wine as that referred to in the transfers. I left the prisoner, got into a cab, and returned. I called at the stable ; the pony and chaise were safe. I then went home. Afterwards the foreman to Mr. Elliott, the stable-keeper, called at my house, and from what he told me I went to the stable. When I got there I found the prisoner with two other persons, one was an attorney's clerk. I asked them what they wanted. Davis said, he wanted his pony and chaise to drive his friends down into the country. I said to him, " You know they do not belong to you ; you know I have bought them of you." He said, " You have got no receipt." I said I had a witness. I did not have a receipt, but I had offered to pay him by a cheque. I said, " If any of you dare to take the pony and chaise away, I shall give you into custody. ' Upon that they went away, and I went ho me . I got hems about half.past six, and in half an hour after wards Davis and Webb came to my house. The former asked for a glass of ale, which I refused to serve him with. He then said he wanted to have a little private talk with me, but I refused. I after wards said I would have as much private talk with him as he pleased, as Mr. Gay, my attorney, was then present. There were present, Davis, Gay, Webb, myself, and two others. In the course of what was said Davis told me he had come to ask for the pony and chaise. I said I would not give them to him. Webb then said, " They do not belong to you." Davis said, " You took an lOU for the money," and I said I had had too many of his I 0 U's. I did not think it worth while to make any other answer to what Davis said. I had not taken an I 0 U for the 401. I walked out of the room and went down stairs. On the 2Gth of October I drove in the phaeton to my father's in Elizabeth street, Hackney-road. When I got there I threw the cloth over the pony and went into the house. As I was talking with my father at the front parlour win dow I saw Davis run up to the phaeton, jump in, and drive off as fast he could. I ran out and called " Stop thief," but the prisoner's men stopped me and held me by the arms. Several others, about a dozen, ran up, and said " Knock the -- down." Two cabs came up, and they got into them and drove off after the phaeton. It would have been useless for me to follow, as the phaeton was driven so rapidly. I gate information to the police-stations, and Davis was apprehended on the Monday. The case was taken before a megistratt-, who ordered a remand. When the next examination took place another magistrate was sitting, and he dis missed the case, saying it was one of great suspicion, and recommended me to indict at the sessions. The prosecutor was submitted to a rigid cross examination by Mr. Parry, but his testimony was un shaken as to this particular transaction. Mr. Wheeler, who had lent the money to the pro secutor to pay the prisoner, proved that fact, and had served him under a writ in an action of trover, in consequence of his refusal to comply therewith, before he took possession of the property. Mr. PARRY, for the prisoner, [Omitted that the prosecutor had correctly stated the circumstances under which Davis took the pony and chaise from Elizabeth-street, and proceeded to urge upon the jury that the prisoner had acted under the bond fide belief that he had not parted absolutely with the property to Edwards, and that he had a right to act in the way he had done. Ile had never contemplated the commission of a felony—to rob Mr. Edwards of that to which he (the prisoner) could not by possibility have any kind of claim or title, but he had acted under the honest impression that the law justified him in taking the steps he had resorted to to obtain back his property. The prisoner could not answer p , rsionally the state ment of the prosecutor as to what passed between them privately about the matter, and the Learned Counsel contended that, considering the conduct of the prose cutor and the prisoner throughout the transaction, it was not beyond the possibility of . question that the pony and phaeton were left as security for a loan, and that when the prisoner found Mr. Edwards was claiming the property as having been sold to him, he had taken these measures to obtain back what clearly had been his own ; and, considering the businesslike habits of Mr.. Edwards, it certainly was an extraordinary fact that he had not taken the precaution to have a receipt for the money if it were a sale. The Learned JUDQE having summed up the evidence, The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty, adding that it was their opinion the prisoner had not acted with a felonious intent. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. George Turner, a porter, i❑ the employ of Mr. G. Oldham, currier, of Long-acre, was charged with stealing a quantity of leather, and George Mills, a hawker, was charged with receiving the property knowing it to have been stolen. The prosecutor had missed about 401. worth of leather during the past six months, but only lately had occasion to suspect the prisoner, who had been intrusted with the care of the premises, and possessed the entire confidence of his employer. A quantity of the missing leather was traced to the shop of a dealer named Cannon, in Seven Dials, who had pur chased it of Mills, at whose house some of the re maining portions were afterwards discovered. The prisoner Turner, on being taxed with the theft, made a confession to his employer, and attributed his pro pensity to steal to the habits of drinking and betting at public-houses, by which he had become greatly involved. Mills, in his defence, stated that the prisoner Turner always represented the pieces of leather as "job lots," to which he became entitled as perquisites. It was proved that the prisoners were continually drinking together. Mr. HENRY committed them both for trial. LAMBETH. Abraham &carton, a young man, servant to Mr. Robinson, wholesale confectioner in the Dover-road, was charged with administering some narcotic drug to the complainant, Harriet Davis, at a public-house in Lambeth. The complainant, a well-dressed, rather good looking young woman, who gave her evidence under strongly-excited feelings, deposed that she worked at the same place with the prisoner, and, on his invita tion, met him on Sunday evening at five o'clock, when, at his request, she went into a public-house, where she had a glass of gin and cloves. From this public-house they went to the lodging of a young woman with whom the prisoner kept company, and, finding she was not at home, they went to another public• house, where she had another glass of gin and cloves, and next went to the prisoner's lodgings, where they had some tea. They subsequently went to a public-house near the Westminster-road, and there she became perfectly unconscious and lost al! recollection of what happened to her from that time until about six o'clock on Monday morning, when she found herself in bed with the prisoner. On discover ing her situation she at once jumped out of bed and made the best of her way to the residence of her father, and from that time to the present had suffered considerably from severe bruises on her side and dif ferent parts of her body. She also suffered, and was still suffering, from internal affection such as she never before experienced. _ The father and married sister of the complainant deposed to her coming home shortly after six o'clock on Monday in a dreadful state of affliction, and suf fering considerably from great apparent pain of body and mind. She then stated that the prisoner had taken her to a public-house, where they had had two glasses of gin-and water, and though she had not taken so much as would affect her in an ordinary way, she lost her senses, and found herself in bed with a young man on the following morning. She alao said that some drug must have been put into the drink, or the quantity she had taken could not have any such effect on her. Police constable 143 M said that on that afternoon he took the prisoner into custody at his master's, on a charge of administering some narcotic drug to the complainant, and, on telling him the nature of the charge, he (the prisoner) stoutly denied it. He ad mitted having been into three or four public-houses with the complainant, and said she became so over come that he bad been obliged to take a bed for her at a coffee-house, not knowing where to take her to her home. He (the prisoner), denied having mixed anything in the drink taken by the you ng woman . James Brown, the proprietor of a coffee-house in Gibson-street, Lambeth, said that, about half-past eleven o'clock on Sunday night the prisoner came to his house and asked if he could accommodate himself and his wife with a bed for the night. He replied that he could, and soon after the complainant was assisted into the house and upstairs by th e pr i soner and anot h er young man. Believing the young woman to be tipsy he (witness) remarked that, had he seen her before, he should not have let the prisoner the bed. After they went upstairs the complainant, was making a loud moaning noise, and saying " Oh, my side ; oh, my my side ;" upon which he went upstairs, and, knock ing at the door, said h e cou ld not a ll ow suc h a noise, as it disturbed the other persons in the house. After this he became quiet, and she heard nothing more about them until six o'clock on the following morning, when the prisoner came down stairs and said he had no money to pay for the bed, but should leave h's watch till he should call in the course of the day. He then returned up s t a i rs , an d soon came down again with the complainant, whom he wished to take some breakfast, but she refused. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said that the fact was that the complainant got so tipsy as to be unable to walk home, and he, not knowing where she lived, took a bed for her for the night, and remained with her, but slept outside the bedclothes. Mr. ELLIOTT (to the complainant)—ls that true ? Complainant—There was so little clothes on the bed, that I can scarcely say whether he was under or over them. Mr. ELLIOTT—Had you your clothes on or off? Complainant —I had them on, your worship. Mr. ELLIOTT—What situation did you find the prisoner in when you awoke, as you stated, on the Monday morning ? Complainant—He had one arm under my neck and the other over me, and when I called out and said, " Good God, what place is this, where am I?" he desired ma to be quiet ; but I could not, and got out of bed. Mr. ELLIOTT observed, that by the surgeon's certi ficate it did not appear that any violence had been committed towards the complainant—a circumstance most fortunate for the prisoner. There could be no doubt, however, that he (the prisoner) had taken a very scandalous advantage of the young woman by making her tipsy and taking her to sleep with him. Had his own story keen true, that he had taken a bed for her protection, there was no necessity for his sleeping there himself. There was no proof, however, that he had administered any drug, and therefore that part of the charge must fall to the ground; bat there could be no doubt that he had been guilty of an as sault, and for this he must pay a fine of 51., or be imprisoned for one month. 7'HAMES. Robert Sheen, a police-constable of the K division, No. 82, appeared in his uniform before Mr. Yardley, to show cause why he should not be adjudged the father of an illegitimate child. Fanny Watson, a well-dressed and very prepos sessing young woman, stated that she lived at No. 2, New-alley, Three-colt-lane, Limehouse, and that her child, which she produced, was born on the 2d of September last, and the defendant was the father of it. She had known the defendant four years, but first became more familiarly acquainted with him two years ago, when they were both present at the fune ral of a policeman named Harvey. On that occasion he urged her to meet him on his beat, and she had very frequently done so. About a year ago he first seduced her, and the intercourse had frequently been renewed since. She was quite certain Sheen was the father of her child. She never allowed any other man to take liberties with her. In cross-examination by Mr. Pelham for the de fendant, the complainant said her aunt had seen her meet the defendant and speak to him. On that occa sion she walked with him the whole extent of his beat as far as Poplar Church. Mr. YAzuour said, that by a recent Act of Far' ---------------------------- liament the complainant could call on the defe ndant to be examined on oath. c•, The Complainant—Yes, if you please, "r.

Mr. Pelham—Do you think , Sir, it wa s :, of tended to have corroborative testimony, i n cas bas'ardy, from the mouth of the defendant? , ~,a t e Mr. YARDLEY—I don't know what the Leglsfosa intended, but I will read the clause of the 1 4tn o f 15th Victoria, "An Act to amend the Law , „ r ef Evidence"—" On the trial of any issue joie ati - s i v g any matter, or on any information or inqu ir Y c ol in any suit, action, or other pro ceedings in B°Y cby of justice, or before any person having by 111:aclrel. consent of parties authority t o hear, receive, eross amine evidence, the parties thereto, and tb e g t , pro. in whose behalf any such sui t, action, or °, 001: 4 ceedings may be brought, or defended, end e go . as hereinafter excepted, be competent d l , by de' pellable to give evidence, either viva voce ° art, c n position, according to the pract ice of the °id sait, behalf of either or any of the parties to the 55 nt ioot action, or other proceeding."

During Saturday night the principal posting places in the town were covered with placards, announcing that the " first experimental trip by Stevenson'a newly in vented powerful locomotive propeller the Hercules (with out the aid of steam), from London to Cheltenham and back," would take place " on Sunday, Nov. 16, to leave Paddington at 2 P.M." The bill also stated that in con sequence of " this being the first experimental trip," passengers would " be taken at the following fares to Cheltenham and back; first class, 55.; second ditto, 35." —that tickets would be transferable—that no luggage would be allowed—and that no stoppages would occur at intermediate stations." To this was appended, " London, Nov. 12, 1851," and the equivocal imprint, "S. Johnson, printer, Smithfield." Of course nothing could be more aceeptable to the lovers of the marvel lous, and accordingly, between five and six o'clock last night, some 200 or 300 persons congregated at the Great Western station. As the time slipped along the numbers increased, and the people waited patiently for the appearance of the " propeller," and its living freight, but they were doomed to disappointment. All at once some one suggested that the thing was a hoax; this was taken up by many others, and coupled with the fact of the station authorities knowing nothing of the matter, induced the great majority forthwith to depart. A few of the more sanguine, however, still lingered behind until they were fully tired out; and then had to follow the example of the others, with the reflection that a " ne'er do-well" had successfully played off some of his mis chievous propensities at their expense‘—Cheltenhain Journal.
