THE NEW NAVAL TELEGRAPHIC LIGHTS. This system of night signals, now under trial and the consideration of a committee of naval officers at Z'ortsinouth, is proposed with a view to remedy the very inadequate and defective state of our present night accommodation. The importance of such a system as thi. is acknowledged by every officer in her Majesty's service who has investigated the subject, when it is remembered that in these times we have every pofsihle faciiii7y afforded us on shore for communicating by night as well as by day with electric rapidity, the sailor has no rneens beyond nineteen signals of conveying intelligence, without the use of rockets or guns, which, in the presence of au enemy, would not he an efficient med: of convcrsire.• ; and, in fact, the Admiral has no signal even for t! - ee officer of the guard. Any ship now ar riving at Spithead daring the night must wait till daylight before she can communicate with the Ad miral of the par, whereas by this system she conies to anchor with her number up the same as by day, and can, Kith the lamps, signalise with per ' feet ease at the distance of three miles. These lamps are light, strong, and neat, only five inches in diameter, beautifully and scFentifically constructed with very powerful lens, by Millar and Co., lamp-makers to the Admiralty, Piccadilly. The system is divided into two parts, one vertical and the other horizontal ; the colours which are used are red, green, and white, the placing of them forms the numerals of both parts. All the lamps are of the same size, and two lights invariably form one figure ; they may be worked numerically or alphabetically as required, so as to give 996 verti cally, or 9,999 horizontally. The vertical lamps emit light all around, are eleven pounds in weight, and five inches in diameter, the outer circular glass is an inch thick, and is a lens of great magnifying force, in which rests the strength and intensity of the light ; only one candle is required, in consequence of the great magnifying force. _ It is on the principle of the telescope. The candle is placed where the eye of the person should be, and the eye takes place of the ob ject. To give the idea more fully of this lamp, take three tumblers without bottoms, and fix alight in the centre, the outer one being a white lens, an inch thick, and the others red and green glass of common thickness ; when the red and green are lifted above the lens, the light is white, when the green is down the colouring matter is con veyed to the lens, and the light is green, when it is up and the red down, the red of course tinctures the rays in like manner. These lamps have been worked at Spithead for the last two mouths with every satisfaction, at three miles distant, under almost every condition of the weather; the lens having the extraordinary power of transmitting the colouring matter through very dense media. The horizontal lamps which are now to be seen at work on board her Majesty's ship Victory emit light on one side only, have nearly double the power of the former, are a foot in diameter and weigh 19ibs., have a strong lens with a small but powerful reflector of Millar's behind ; within is a horizontal revolver, on which is placed red and green glass, which, being brought alternately between the light and the lens, give the colours as re quired. This lamp is calculated to work from four to eight miles distant, and it is intended for flag-ships, dockyards, &c., the vertical being for sea-going ships only. It must be obvious to every one that without such system as this, in time of war, with powerful steamers, it is impossible to say what evil may not arise from the advance of an enemy on our coast, fleets, or arsenals.—Portsmouth Guardian,—(This ad mirable invention has been effected by our worthy towestrae, Mitchell Thompson, Eeq., late surgeon of her Rijesty's steam-trigete Odin.—ED. Plymouth and Devonport Journal] IMPROVEMENT OF THE CITY "SHOW." The following letter hag been_ addressed to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor elect, Mr. Alderman Musgrove:— " My Lord,—At one of the Old Bailey dinners last year Mr. Bill afforded me the opportunity of mentioning to ycu an often-repeated regret on my part, that no en deavour was made to improve the character of the annual City ' Show' on the 9th of November. I ventured to remark, with reference to the antiquity of the proceed ing, and its interesting character, that some little inven tion and taste might, at all events, be exercised upon it, in lieu of repeating year after year the same dull and effete routini; and I suggested that, as it would probably soon be your privilege to act as chief magistrate of London, you should strive to vary the character of the procession, revive its associations, and introduce into it some work of modern skill and ingenuity. You were good enough to say that you felt the force of the obser• vation, and concurred (so far as a first hearing would justify) in my views: and you invited me, when the proper time came, to place the subject again before you. I gladly comply with the request. . . . I do thick with Thomas Middleton (1613) that some art and knowledge, equal to the liberality of the City, should be displayed in the invention of their pageant.' I would raise it out of the monotonous and prosaic routine into which it hes fallen, by the introduction, among other changes, of emblems and works of art, accordant with its ancient character, and worthy of the present time. In lied of the men in mock armour, who have had a long run, or in addition if you please (making their costume real), you might introduce, *ay three compositions typical of manufactures, agriculture, and the arts; and do honour, if it were but by a series of banners, to the great minds that have taught and raised the world, and to the past worthies who have genially served, adorned, or other iteproved the City. Peace has its victories as well as war.' Your Lordship, I know, thinks it is time the world gave honour to those who gain such. I do not venture, howev; r, here to set forth what shape the show should actually be made to take: appropriate designs if sought would be obtained without difficulty: my present object will be attained it I succeed in ne Ad; evident to your Lordship the desirability of rendering the Mayor's show more worthy of this great city and time than is now 46 " the case. We are glad to hear that the above has been referred to the Lord Ma: or and See, life' Committee for conducting the entertainment, and trust that improvement will, at all events, be commenced in the Show on the approach ing 9th of November.—Builder. GERMANY. A letter from Berlin of the 24th inst. says that the Prussian Minister, Count Brandenburg, is in structed to make the following proposals to their Majesties of Russia and Austria. In return for its adjournment, and, consequently, its sacrifice of the Parliament of the League, Prussia demands that Austria shall consent to " free consultations." Re specting the constitution of Germany, Prussia con sents to all the Austrian States (viz., Gallicia, Hun gary, Croatia, and Lombardy) forming part of the Conf-d , ration. Prussia consents further to sacrifice the Parliamentary part of the future Central Power, and in return she demands a perfect equality with Austria. The German question is, for the present, to be left to itself. In the Hessian and Holstein ques tion Prussia offers to go with Austria. The Augsburger Abendzeitung states, from Munich of the 22d instant, that the King of Bavaria has ra ther unexpectedly returned to his capital. The firtresi of Bamberg is being victualled for three mouths. The Bavarian horse (Cuirassiers) at Land shut have left that place, and proceeded in torctd marches in the dir?ction of Regensburg. CARDINAL WISEMAN AND THE ARCH BISHOPRIC OF EVESTIIIINSTER. The following pastoral letter from Cardinal Wise• man was read from the pulpit on Sunday, in St. George's Catholic Church, Southwark, and in all the other Roman Catholic churches and chapels of the London district. " Nicholas, by the divine mercy of the Holy Roman Church, by the title of St. Pudentiana Cardinal Priest Archbishop of Westminster, and Adminis• trator Apostolic of the diocese of Southwark. " To our dearly beloved in Christ, the clergy secular and regular, and the faithful of the said archdiocese and diocese, health and benediction in the Lord. "If this day we greet you under a new title, it is n dearly beloved, with an altered affection. If in words we seem to divide those, who till now have formed under our rule a single flock, our heart is as undivided as ever in your regard. For now truly de we feel closely bound to you by new and stronger ties of chant) ; now do we embrace you in our Lord Christ Jesus with more tender emotions of paternal love ; now doth our soul yearn, and our mouth is open to you (2 Cor. vi.,t2); though words must fail to expi ess what we feel on being once again permitted to addres:, you. For if our parting was in sorrow, and s e durst not hope that we should again face to face behold you our beloved flock, so much the greater is now our consolation and our joy, when we find ourselves not so much permitted, as commissioned to return to you by the supreme ruler of the church of Christ. "But how can we for one moment indulge in selfish feelings, when through the loving father's generous and wise counsels, the greatest of blessings has just been bestowed upon our country by the restoration of its true Catholic hierarchical government in commu nion with the see of Peter. "For on the 29th day of last month, on the feast of the Archangel St. Michael, Prince of the Heavenly Host, his Holiness Pope Pius IX. was graciously pleased to issuelhis letters apostolic, under theYisher man's Ring, conceived in terms of great weight and dignity, wherein he substituted, for the eight apostolic vicarites heretofore existing, one archiepiscopal or me tropolitan and twelve episcopal sees : repealing at the same time and annulling all dispositions and enact ments, made for England by the holy see, with refer ence to its late form of ecclesiastical government. " And, by a brief dated the same day, his Holiness was further pleased to appoint us, though most un worthy, to the Archiepiscopal see of Westminster, established by the above-mentioned letters apostolic, giving us at the same time the administration of the Episcopal see of Southwark. So that at present and till such time as the Holy See shall think tit other wise to provide, we govern and shall continue to govern the counties of Middlesex, Hertford, and Essex, as ordinary thereof, and those of .-urrey, Sussex, Kent, Berkshire, and Hampshire, with the islands annexed, as administrator with ordinary juris diction. " Further we have to announce to you, dearly be loved in Christ, that, as if still further to add solem ity and honour before the Church to this noble act of Apostolic authority, and to give an additional mark of paternal benevolence towards the Catholics of England, his Holiness was pleased to raise us, in the private consistory of Monday, the 30th of September, to the rank of Cardinal Priest of the Holy Roman Church; and, oni the Thursday next ensuing, being the 3d day of this month of October, in public con • sistory, he delivered to us the insignia of this dignity. the cardinalistical bat, assigning us afterwards for our title, in the private consistory which we attended, the church of St. Pudentiana, in which St. Peter is groundedly believed to have enjoyed the hospitality of the noble and partly British family of the senator Pudene. " In that same consistory we were enabled our selves to a'k for the Archiepiscopal Pallium for our new See of Westminster, and this day we have been invested, by, the hands of the Supreme Pastor and Pontiff himself, with this badge of metropolitan jurisdiction. " The great work, then, is complete; what you have long desired and prayed for is granted. Your beloved country has received a place among the fair churches which, normally constituted, form the splendid aggregate of Catholic commu nion. Catholic England has been restored to its orbit in the ecclesiastical firmament, from which its light had long vanished, and begins now anew its course of regularly adjusted action round the centre of unity, the source of jurisdiction, of light, and of vigour. How wonderfully this has all been brought about—how clearly the hand of God has been shown in every step, we have not now leisure to relate, but we may hope soon to recount to you by word of mouth. In the meantime we will content ourselves by assuring you that, if the concordant voice of those venerable and most eminent counsellors to whom the holy see:commits the regulation of ecclesiastical affairs, in missionary countries, of the overruling of every variety of interests and designs, to the rendering of this measure almost necessary—if the earnest prayers of our holy Pontiff, and his most sacred oblation of the Divine sacrifice, added to his own deep and earnest reflection, can form to the Catholic heart an earnest and heavenly direc tion, an assurance that the Spirit of Truth, who guides the church, has here inspired its supreme head—we cannot desire stronger or more consoling evidence that this most important measure is from God, has Hie sanction and blessing, and will, consequently, prosper. " [hen truly is this day to us a day of joy and ex ultation of spirit, the crowning day of long hopes, and the opening day of bright prospects. How must the saints of our country, whether Roman or British, Saxon or Norman, look down from their seats of bliss with beaming glance upon this new evidence of the faith and church which led them to glory, sympathising with those who have faithfully adhered to them through c re en ap tur t i h e of i es fruit hi l t l repute, h ft for t their r patience h tru and t sake, s Ihng and suffering w no l And all those blessed martyrs of these later ages,who have fought the battles of the faith under such discou ragement, who mourned, more over their own fetters or their own pain, over the desolate ways of their own Sion and the departure of England's religious glory; oh ! how must they bless God, who bath again visited His people—how take part in our joy, as they see the lamp of the temple again enkindled and re brightened—as they behold the silver links of thatchain, which has connected their country with the See of Peter in its Vicarial government, changed into burnished gold ;" not stronger . nor more closely knit, but more beautifully wrought and more brightly ar rayed. And in nothing will it be fairer or brighter than in this, that the glow of more fervent love will be upon it. Whatever our sincere attachment and unflinching devotion to the Holy See till now, there is a new ingredient CilSs upon these feelings, a warmer gratitude, a tenderer affection, a profounder admira tion, a boundless and endless sense of obligation, for so new, so great, so sublime a gift will be added to past sentiments of loyalty and fidelity to the supreme See of Peter. Oar venerable Pontiff has shown himself a true shepherd, a true father; and we cannot but express our gratitude to him in our most fervent language, in the language of prayer. For when we raise our voices, as is meet, in loud and fervent thanksgiving to the Almighty for the precious gifts bestowed upon our portion of Christ's vineyard, we will also im plore every choice blessing on him who has been so signally the divine instrument in procuring it. We will pray that his rule over the Church may be pro longed to many years, fur its welfare; that health and strength may be preserved to him for the dis- THE LAW'S DELAYS. SCENE AT THE 15EPARTIIIIE OF THE STEAM-SHIP AFRICA.-3 remarkable scene occurred on ther . iver on Saturday, on th e eve o f t h e royal mail ,tE ship Africa's departur e w ith t h e mails for :3;lniew- Y or k. W e believe the circumstances are briefly as fellows : On account of a private a n d pe cu liZ fdriiness transwtion at New Orleans, two gentlemen of align cone ived that they had a china against Mr. Muir, her Majesty's Consul at New Orleans, for a sum of 4501. Mr. Muir was about to leave England, on Saturday, to resume the duties of his consulate ; but the creditors named obtained a judge's warrant and dispatched a sheriff's officer to arrkst the consul on his departure from this port. Shorcly before the hour appoiuzed for the Africa's departure Mr. Fry, the officer, procured a four-oared gig, and, accompani , d by a Liverpool officer, went on board the steam-ship, seized his prey, and carried him on board the steam-tender Satellite, which then lay along6ide the Africa. Offers of an arrangement were made, with security for three times the amount claimed, but the officer refused all. Mr. Muir being surrounded by many friends, a fray was fast becoming charge of his arduous duties ; that light and grace may be granted to him proportioned to the sublimity of his i,ffi,e ; and thy., coniolations, teinpord and +piritual, -Jilt: be poured out upon him ahuridanth , , in conapensition for past sorrows and pist ingratitude. A n i of thf,e,e consoiatioos may one of the most slvcet to hii paternal heart be the propagation of holy relir oion in our country, the advancement of his ,7; pi!itual children there in true piety and devotion, and our ever increasing affection and attachment to the See of St. Peter _ "lln order, therefore, that our thank giving may be made with all becoming solemnity, we hereby en join as follows : "1.

"By command of his Eminence, "FRANCIS SEARLE, Secretary." CENTRAL CRIMINAL CO URT OLD COURT. CHARGE OP ROBBERY.—Henry Denham, aged 33, described as a slater, was arraigned on an indictment charging him with feloniously assaulting Thomas Miller with intent to rob him, being armed with an effensive weapon. The prisoner is the man who was recently for some time in custody, and underwent several exatni nations before the magistrates on a charge or being concerned in the assault and robbery of Mr. Cureton. Mr. Bodkin conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. O'Brien defended the prisoner. Mr. Thomas Miller, the prosecutor, deposed, that he is an artist's colourman, carrying on his bUsiness in Long-acre. On the night of the 2d of August last, he was returning from Chelsea to Long-acre. ks he passed through St. James's-park the clock truck twelve. As he was passing the end of Rose treet, in Long-acre, he was seized by three ar four men. He had in his left hand a large roll of drawings, and in his right hand a walking stick. Both his arms and hands were seized from behind and pinioned. At the same in stant he was faced by another person. A third person appeared at the same moment by his side. At that time he (witness) had a full view of the prisoner by the light of the street lamp. Whilst witness was so pinioned autther person came up on his right side ; with, he believed, a walking-stick in his hand. That was the prisoner. A something was then put round his (witness's) throat by, he had no hesi tation in saying, the prisoner. Did not iteew what it was that was put round his throat, but be iieved it was a flexible thing, having a life preserver at one end. It was put tight round his throat, and he effect was immediate strangulation. His (witness's) coat w.s pulled up and his waistcoat pockets rifle 1. Witness then last his senses entirely. The next thing he recollected was bring loosed, dashed on the kerb stone, one of his teeth broken, and his chin very much in;ured. On recovery he saw one man at a little distance. Witness chased him for a quarter of a mile but unsuccessfully ; the man escaped. Witness then proceeded to Bow-street station, and there made a formal complaint of the matter, without however describing the prisoner. Next saw the prisoner by chance, about two months afterwards, at the Mansion-house, where he was standing at the bar on another charge, among other persona. Recognised the prisoner from his own know ledge, without his having been pointed out to him. On his (witness's) oath he had now no doubt that the prisoner was the man who endeavoured to strangle and rob him. Cross-examined by Mr. O'BRlEN—Witness had been on business on the night of the 2d of August at King's-road, Chelsea, where be supped with a friend. Believed he took a small glass of brandy and water after supper, but Rot more than one. Chased the prisoner, after the assault, into Hart-street. Did not call police at all, for he was not able to do so. Im mediately on being pinioned he saw the prisoner for the first time. Could not recognise the man who faced him whilst he was being pinioned. The prisoner's hat was put on at the Mansion-house, at witnes's suggestion, and it was then that he declared he was satisfied that the prisoner was the man, and before as well. 'Michael Hayden, one of the detective police of the city of London, deposed to taking the prisoner into custody, on the 21 of October, on another charge. Had no knowledge of the prosecutor at that time witness went to the prosecutor's house on the 61h October, who then gave a description of tlu person who attacked him. Witness did not beforehand describe any person whom he had in custody to the ' prosecutor. Witness then corroborated the prosecutors statement as to identifying the prisoner at the Mansion-house. Mr. O'BRIEN addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, contending that the evidence given on the part of the prosecution was not of a character suffi cient to identify the prisoner with that clearness wh:ch would justify his conviction. The RECORDER having summed up, The jury returned a verdict of Guilty ; and the prisoner was senterved to 20 s (-ars' transportation. 1V E tV t_ OLI RT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) Henry Collin', 30, servant, was indicted for steal ing a coffee-pot, 61 forks, 56 spoons, and other plate, vJued at 180/., the property of Edmund Rushworth and another, his masters. Mr. Carter prosecuted. Mr. Edmund Rushworth, of the firm of Rushworth and Jarvis, auctioneers, Saville-row, said that about three years ago the prisoner entered their service, and remained with them until June, 1849, when the arti cles in question were sent from Mr. Thomas's, of New Bond-street, to them for sale. They were brought on Saturday, the 30th of June, by a porter, and delivered to the prisoner, who took them into their warerooni and locked them up. When witness got there on Monday he found the prisoner gone, the place locked up, and the plate taken. Robert Checkley, 16 11, said he met the prisoner on the 16th of this month in the Whitechapel-road, and took him into custody. Oa their toad to the station he asked what the plate had been valued at, and was told 2001. He added it was a good day's work for the man who had it. Brixton, near to which piece he had a priihieg-ince,.„. where the latti:r -mentioned puliii.caeoe is printed. The prosecutor had in his service as housekeeper a t la.ietii a women named Fanny Pie ernan, and aer sister was also in his service, essis:ing in the pub department at the Strand effiee. The pri • saner l'aylor wea an el prentice to the pro)ecutoe, and wo ked in the offices at Streatham, and, from the fact of occasionally going to the prosecutor', hou-c, well knew the arrangements of it, and where the property was placed. On the Saturday preceding the day of the robbery, the 24th of September, the prosecutor was from town, and remained away for some few days, leaving the two Misses Plowman to take care of the house, and it was known to the pri soner that the only person in the hou-e during the daytime was Fanny Plowman: On the 24th of Sep tember the prisoner left his work about five o'clock in the afternoon, his other workmen not leaving until nearly six, and about a quarter past live some man went to prosecutor's house and asked if that was Mr. Stiff's, and, having been told that it was, said to the housekeeper, Fanny Plow man, "Some one you know in the Strand in getting out of the omnibus has had something fall upon her head, and you must take a cab and go there." The consequence was that she took a cab, and went as quickly as she could to the Strand, where she found the statement to be false, upon which she went back with her sister and one of the men from the office as fast as she could, and found that the place had been broken into by forcing an entrance into a stable at the side, and then bursting the door inside with a crow bar. The place was in greet disorder, and the house rifled of all that could be foiled, and among other things was a gold snuffbox, which for safety was kept hidden in the top of the piano. Upon an inquiry about the robbery being instituted by the police, cir cumstances came to their knowledge which led to the apprehension of Taylor, who it appeared had sent a letter to Costello (at one time a workman of the pro secutor's) on the morning after the robbery; but when questioned about him said he did not know where he lived, and beat the boy whom he had sent. to post the letter for having said anything about it. The police, to whom Costello was well known, could not find him, and Adams was taken under the fol lowing circumstances :—About a week after the rob bery had been committed he called upon the prose cutor in the Strand, and said that he had seen the property at a coffee-house in Drury- lane, and that, having heard Mr. Stiff was offering a reward for the snuff box, he said he thought he could get it back for him for 101. or 121. He also asked Mr. Stiff if there were not some other things he set a store by; and then went on to enumerate some trifling things that had been stolen, and which at the time the prosecutor did not know he had lost.. This was communicated to the police, who then took him, and finally Uoslieg was taken, and Costello was at last found in Newgste, under the name of Adams, for a burglary of which he was convicted in the New Court on Wednesday last, in connexion with a man named Wilson. Taylor was also spoken of as being near the prosecutor's about the time the robbery was being committed, and Costello and Adams were positively identified as being at the door, Adams answering a man named Cann, who came to deliver coals, telling him that there was no one in the house, as an accident had taken place. Taylor had also told a shopmate named Rye that he had put Costello on to the house of their foreman, but they were disturbed by a cat, which, it appeared, was true; that he had put Costello on prosecutor's, and on Wednesday, the day after the robbery, was going to Drury, lane to " have his whack" of the affair ; and on tnat eight he was seen in company wig h the other prisoner) in Drury-lane. At Costeilo's house, when searched, seventy-two skeleton-keys were found. The only evidence against Gosling was that he looked like a man who was leaning on the railings of the pri)oner's house at the time. Taylor, who is the son of a reAp:ctithL. tradesman, had several witnessei, cnlled to his character. Tile jury, under the direction of the Learned Judge, Acquitted Gosling, convicting the others, with a recom►neudAtion to mercy on the part of Taylor. Cos'ell, it was further proved, had been convicted in 1841 for obtaining gods with forged orders. lie was now sentenced to ten years' transportation, Adams to seven years, and Taylor to twelve mouths' imprisonment, with hard labour. Edward Smith and Thomas Hardy, two notorious cracksmen, were convicted of breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mary Higgins, and stealing a quantity of wearing apparel. Mr. Carteen prosecuted, and the case, excepting the characters of the men, was of the ordinary descrip tion. Hardy had been transported in 1639, and served seven years, and hud since then been in Read ing Gaol, besides other convictions and some acquit tals. The other was equally well known. Thomas Collins, 20, woodcutter, was convicted and sentenced to seven years' transportation for stealing a clock, value 201., the property of a lady named Rids dale, at St. John's-wood. The officer said the prisoner was on• of a gang who hang about the outskirts to plan burglaries. In the course of the day Mr. Metcalfe applied for the usual process against Cornelius Baron Von Stentz, against whom Wilhelm SobieEky Kelldall had ob tained a true bill for perjury arising out of some law proceedi ng& The application was granted, with the usual notice of bail. The jury found him Guilty, and he was transported for seven years. Edward George Barrington, who was convicted last session of returning from transportation, wan, brought up for sentence. The prisoner, it will be recollected, had almost served the term for which he had been sent out, and had received what was stated to be a free pardon, which he had destroyed. Upon leaving the culonies. he had served as a seaman against the Bornean pi rates, and had returned to this country bringi❑g with him an excellent character and a large amount of prize money, with which he had gone into a respect able way of business. The COMMON-SERGEANT said that he had no alternative but to again order him to be transported, and the sentence was, that he be imprisoned for six months, and then be transported for seven years. He would, however, be able to lay his case before the Secretary of State, who would have the power of mitigating it. The prisoner, who was 'dreadfully agitated, no sooner heard the sentence, than he struck his hand violently on the front of the dock, and said he would sooner be dead than again transported, and, drawing a penknife he had secreted, made an attempt to cut his throat. The officers in the dock, however, managed to seize him before he could do himself any serious in jury, but it was not without much difficulty that the weapon could be got from him and he forced from the dock. The excitement was much heightened by the fran tic screams of a woman in the gallery, said to be his Wife, and who could scarcely be restrained from throwing herself over into the dock. Edward Lovell Dwyer, who was convicted on Wednesday of a similar offence, was sentenced to be imprisoned fur 12 months and again transported for seven yearn. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. GURNEY.) Henry Thomas Taylor, 17, printer, Charles Gos ling, '24, painte r , G eorge Ad ams, 32, atterman, and James Costello, alias Adams, were indicted for break ing and entering the dwellipg- and quantity of house of George Sti ff , arid stealing the re i n a gold s nuffbox plate, valued at 70/ 4, hi s property, and gold an d s il ver tnot,eys of the value of 301., the property of Fanny Plowman, in the same house. Mr. Parry, Mr. Parnell, and Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Clarkson appeared for Tay lor, and Mr. Payne for Gosling. The statement of the witnesses, nearly 20 in num ber, went to prove that the prosecutor is a publisher in the Strand, and proprietor of_the Weekly Times and London Journal, and resides at Streatham-place, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREE. Amelia Firzman, alias Hicks, Mary Ann Ryan, and William Warner, were charged bolero Mr. Hall with having feloniously received a quantity of mus lin, worth 1301., which had been stolen from an er rand-boy. On Saturday evening the 19th inst., a boy named Henry Bartlett, in the service of Mr. J. S. Fiaken, merchant, of Wood-street, ,Ctiettpside, was sent out by his employer with a parc e l containing 466 pieces of muslin, which he had instructions to leave at Waterloo-house, Pall-well. The boy, finding the premises closed, was compelled to return with the parcel. On him way hack he was accosted by a lad named Henry Williams, who made his acquaintance, and incited him to take a drop of something; they went together to a puhlic-hourse near Sc. Mertill'e lane, and Williams " stood treat." After they had been a short time in conversation Williams requested the errand boy to take a message from him to hie uncle round the corner. The boy went out fur the pan p i a o r i c e e s l u o r n icle th ; e an s d ea , t o . rn purpose, leaving hi s n He returning u r e ;l i t! g d not find his c o to the public-house, discovered that Williams had disappeared with the parcel. The loss of the pro perty was advertised, and this brought some informa tion as to the disposal of the greater part of it. Ou Saturday a boy, answering the description of Henry Williams, was examined sta Bow -street, charged with stealing a coat and some other articles. Mr. Fieken's errandboy was sent for, and he at once identified Williams as the lad who stole his parcel from the public house. Mr. Fisken, the prosecutor, identified the pieces of muslin produced, by the private mark, the quantity, and the peculiar pattern. It formed the greeter part of 466 pieces which were stolen from his errand -boy. The quantity recovered was worth about 117/. About 131. worth was yet m i ss i ng. William Parker said he was foreman to Mr. Dicker, pawnbroker, of Lembeth-marsh. The prisoner Amelia Firzman pledged the muslin produced at their shop, stating !hat it belonged to a lady who was going to Australia, and intended making it up into caps and cuff ,. wattiess did not notice the value of it, and advanced 2/. upon it. He had known the woman for four sears, and had always considered her a very re spectable person. She had been in the habit of coming to the shop during the whole of that time, but she had gone by the name of Hicks. She lived in the Water locaroed. When witness saw the advertisement he immediately wrote to the prosecutor, and subsequ e ntly gave the police all the assistance in his power. Constahle Brown, of the F division, said that hek met Firzman in Drury-lane, and took her into cus tody on the present charge. She had some pieces of the muslin in a basket, and admitted having pledged some over the w ater. She said that a , woman named Ryan had brought it to her for sale, and stat e d where Ryan lived: Witness then went to Ryan's house, in Queen's -place, Lincoln's lnn-fields, and she stated that the m uslin was given to her by Warner (the male prisoner) to carry to Firzman, as, the latter being connected with theatricals, he thought she might be able to get a customer far it. She sold it to Firzman for 155., and bad 2s. 61 for her trouble. Witness afterwards apprehended Warner, who at first denied all knowledge of the muslin, but eventually admitted that he sold some, which had been picked up at the corner of a court, to Mrs. Ryan. An attorney who attended for Ryan, said she was the wife of a respectable man, and had lived 26 years in the same house. Mr. HALL remanded the prisoners to Saturday, when they will be brought up with the lad Williams, who is suspected of stealing the property, and against whom there are no less than 20 charges of felony awaiting investigation. MAR YLEBONE. George Rouse, aged 18, was brought up in custody, and placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, on two charges, one of burglary at the house of Mr. George . Seaton, landlord of the Dublin Castle, Park-street, Catnden, town, and a murderous outrage upon police constable Godwin 58 S. The case excited a considerable degree of interest. Godwin presented a most distressing appearance. There was a quantity of coagulated blood upon his face, he had a bandage round his head, and beneat h . his'left eye was a quantity of strapping, from which blood was still oozing; he was exceedingly weak, and made his statement while sitting on the bench at the attorneys' table. The back part of the prisoner's head was also strapped up. The officer, on being sworn. , said—Between three and four o'clock this moreing,' THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, _OCTOBER 29, 1850. e tee.l was wOcieg on duly Ti gi . ounds by (;hek ..notri Tavern.

At that time I observed somelting h&ky under his coat, which was buttoned. He remarked me, " It's vather a act merning," tai I said, - "It is, and what have you got about you?" He unbuttoned his coat, and, drawing thence a leathern bag, said it was his own mlney, which he had worked for, and at the same time produced 2s. 6d. Feeling satisfied that some rubbery had been perpetrated, I told him he must go with me, when he said, " For (lad's *eke den't take toe, and I'll give you halt." 1 laid told ot' him by the hack of the neck, at led him along, and for 500 y:irds he walked es quietly us possible ; he then said something to me, hut 1 cannot recollect the words he used, and at the same moment he suddenly sprung up, and I was stabbed by him in the face with a sharp instrument. I still kpt hold of him, and we railed together down an embank ment. A scuffle then ensued between us, and he cut me again on the ear and the hand. I caught hold of his wrist and saw the knife in his hand, which was upraised as if in the act of once more stabbing me, the blow being about to be aimed at my head. We continued to scuffle, and the prisoner got away froth me. I got up as quickly as possible, while the blood was flowing from me in a stream, and ran after him with my drawn truncheon. When I had got within a few yards of him, the ground being slippery, he fell. I fell too. We both got up, and with my truncheon I geve hint several blows which knocked him down. I called out and my cries brought to my assistance two railway policemen, by whom the prisoner wss secured and conveyed to the station-house. I managed to walk there myself in a bleeding and fainting conditioe, and on searching the prisoner I found in his possession three begs, -which I now produce. They contain 191. in shillings, a crown, 14 half-crowns, 128 sixpences, 24 fouipenny-pieces, 15 threepenny-pieces, and other moneys in copper. In one of his waistcoat pockets I found two four penny-pieces, and iii his fob a jet necklace. Mr. BROUGHTON—Did he say from whom be re ceived the money as wages when you stopped him? Witness—Yes, he said he had had it from Mr. Grimble, but did not tell me who or what Mr. Grimble was., I asked him how touch he had received, anit he said he believed abow 251. James Bonnor, potman to a Mr. Seaton, said—For three or four weeks past the prisoner has been in the habit of coming daily an l nightly to the house. At half-past 11 o'clock last night he was by the fire in the tap-room, where he had been long sitting, and I then desired him to leave, as it was our time for shut ting up. I fastened the door at the back of the house and then returned into the taproom, when I looked round and could see no one there. I consequently imagined that the prisoner, whom I had warned, had left the house, and after extinguishing the gas I re• . tired to bed, leaving my master below. I was called up at seven o'clock this morning, and then found that the front door of the house was partly open. It h'd been unbolted. The bar was down, and one shutter bolt was lying on a chair, which was placed close to the door. Wardell, a constable in the employ of the London and North-Western Railway Company, was the next witness examined. He said, hearing cries of " Oh, oh !" proceeding from some one who was apparently i❑ great suffering from some cause or other, I ran along the road towards Primrose- hill, and found the prisoner and the policeman Godwin struggling on the ground must desperately. I asked the policeman what was the matter, and he exclaimed, " Mind mate, for be hEs got a knife." The constable got up bleeding and ready to faint, and on my searching under the prisoner, who ws lying down, I found a krdie under his right thigh. Mr. J 3 KOUGHTON—When the officer said, " Mate, h- has got a knife," did the prisoner say anything ? Witness—No, Sir. Mr. BaouGaToN—W,is the.prisoner bleeding too ? Witness—He was from the hand, and a portion of his head was matted with blood. Frances Osborne, the maid servant, was next called. She proved the finding of the street-door open. She was the first who came down stairs, and she imme diately raised an alarm. Mason, 168 S, gave evidence as to his having exa mined the premises of the prosecutor, and finding the bar parlour had been entered by some one, who had cut away a portion of the woodwork close to the lock, so as to afford facility for going into the parlour, with out the parlour door being forced. There were no marks of violence from the outside, and the robbery of cash which, it would be 'shown by Mr. Seaton, bad taken place at his house, must have been perpe trated by some one who had concealed himself on the premises. Mr. George Seaton, the landlord, proved that he fastened up his street-door on the previous night at half • past twelve o'clock, and went to bed five mi nutes afterwards. In the morning, when called up as before stated by other witnesses, he missed from his bar parlour somewhere about the amount previously spoken to as being found on the prisoner, namely, 251. or 261. One of the bags he would swear to as hieing his, but the other two he could not. He knew nothing about the necklace produced. The greater part of the cash was stolen from a cupboard, and the rest from the tills, both of which had been emptied. The knile found under the thigh of the prisoner was produced and identified is being the property of the prosecutor; it was a small dinner knife, such as are commonly used in tap-rooms, and the upper part of the blade was bent to the extent of two or three inches. In answer to the magistrate, Mason, the officer, said he believed that the prisoner had been in custody before, and convicted of stealing a saw, but be was not prepared to-day with evidence to show that such was the case. Witness added, that when pri soner met the wounded officer, Godwin, he was no doubt carrying his treasure to some secluded spot where he might deposit it until a fit opportunity was afforded him for carry ing it away. The prisoner, after being duly cautioned as to what he had to say, made a long and rambling state ment, to the effect that he was first assaulted by the constable, of whom he a-ked the way to Glouces'er gate, and he accused the officer of having struck him before he (prisoner) attacked him with the knife. He denied having broken out of the house himself, and accounted for his possession of the money by al legieg that it was given him by two men (strangers) ; who told hiM that if he would carry what they gave him they would put a trill- in his war, and that they would meet him at Moses's, in Oxford , street. knew not who the persons were, as he had never, to his knowledge, seen theha before. Mr. BIIOUGHTON remanded the prisoner till Mon day next, and Inspector Chambers was directed to bring on that day a surgeon's certificate with respect to the nature of the wounds which Godwin had ritctived. The prisoner had received a slight wound in the thigh, supposed to have been caused by his falling upon the point of the knife, which was in his pocket when he and Godwin roily(' down the embankment. The prisoner was then locked up, and Godwin left the court in a cab, being much too exhausted to walk home. CLERKENWELL. A poor distre.o young woman, who gave her name Elizabeth Appleyard, of No. 44, Rawstorce street, Cletki , nwell, applied to Mr. Tyrwhitt, on Saturday last, under very distressing circumstances. She said her husband was a compositor, but after nine months' illness he dkd, leaving her with five children, and at that moment her youngest child was lying at home in its coffin, and she had not the means of burying it or of procuring food for herself and starving family, and was compelled, with reluctance, to make this appeal to the worthy magistrate. To add to the unfortunate creature's of there was a distress upon her trifling goods for 11. los. Mr. Tyrwhitt caused immediate inquiries to be made by Nesbitt, one of the officers of the court, who reported the case as one of a peculiarly distressing nature, when Mr. Tyrwhitt relieved her from the distress, and benevolently afforded the poor family other as sistance from the poor-box, and, the case having been communicated to Mr. Petch, the overseer of the parish, he undertook to see the child interred, and the appli cant evinced her gratitude by tears and thanks to Mr. Tyrwhitt. THAMES. Bridget Donovan, a little ill-favoured Irishwoman, about thirty years of age, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with being unlawfully possessed of a 501. note, suspected to have been stolen. A clerk in the Bank of England produced a 50/. note, the one in question, dated December 6, 1849, No. 17,137, and said it had been paid into that estab- . lishment, but had not been stopped. Some inquiries however, had been made about it. Mr. YARDLEY said the prisoner was not likely to have become honestly possessed of a 501. note, and that the account she had given of herself and the way she came by the note was so very. suspicious, that he should remand her until Thursday, and after that for a longer period, if micessary. He directed the officer to trace the owner of the note, and ascertain if it was stolen, if possible. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has left York for his seat, Hickleton DEATH OF MR. THOMAS CoßurE.-09 Saturday the flags at the Town- hall and the public offices were raised half-mast high in respect to the memory of Mr. Thomas Corrie, who died in the course of that morning. Mr. Corrie was an officer well known in Liverpool as the collector of town-dues, and he had filled the post with credit to himself and kofit to his employers for a number of years. He was, we believe, in his seventy-third year, and had been suffering from the disorders and infirmities of old age during the last three or four months. The deceased was a man of very charitable disposition, and he will long be remembered with feelings of gratitude and respect. We believe the salary of his office amounted to 7001. a year. The appointment rests with the Corporation.—Liverpoolslllrion.

In about two hours afttr Dyson WEIS brought in and locked up in the cell by the gaoler, two more persons, alleged to be participators in the transaction,. which has caused throughout the country so great a degree of interest :%nd excitk merit, were brought up kt cab, properly secured from any chance of escepe, by Se•rgeant Barry, A, ::Atached to the M (South wel.k) division, and Evan Jones, pilice-constable 250 M. Su ,erinteudtint Haynes, of the division alluded to, and who waa for a long period a most active officer of the detective force, was also present. It soon became rumoured in the district that, three men were to be examined, and long before the night charges were disposed of the justice-room was crowded to excess. At three o'clock tha whole of the prisoners were brought in and placed at the bar. Mr. Broughton—W hat are the names of the two additional prisoners ? Inspector Chamhers—Jamts Mahon, alias Hollindale, and William Robinson. It may be stated that Mahon, in addition to the alias of Hollindale, has that of Ilanbery, and that Rohimon is generally known by the appellation of " Butcher Bill." Mr. Broughton (to the prisoners)—You are charged with having burglariously entered the pre mises of Jas. Holford, Eq., Regent's-park, amid car ried away tin ormolu ornarneot and other artieies. It will be necessary to have the evidence of Mr. Paul, the butler, as there are two fresh prisoners, to show thA a burglary has been committed. Mr. .Eciul then reiterated the particulars of his former statement, affording satisfactory proof of the burglary, and the part which he, and the rest of the servants under his direction, took in endeavour ing to capture the marauders, by sword, gun, pistol, and pitchfork. Air. Broughton (to Superintendent Haynes)—Now put up the first witness. . Henry Barry, 455 A—l am a sergeant of the M division. On Sunday night, the 13:h instant, at ten o'clock, I, accompanied by Jones, 250 M, visited the George public-house, in Lombard-street, near the Mint, in the Borough, and saw the three prisoners in the t;lp room together. Mr. Broughton—Were you in uniform or not ? Witness—We were in plain clothes, your Worship. Mr. Broughton—Do you know Dyson ?—Yes; he lived in a house in Martin-street. I apprehended a lodger of his some time ago, of the name of Miller, for an attack upon Mr. Cureton, in Aldersgate-street; and he is to be tried today at the Old Bailey. The prisoner Dyson attended at the Mansion-house while Miller was under examination there, and he seemed to be greatly interested in the proceedings, as if he were keeping a particular watch upon a case affecting a most intimate friend. Mr. Broughton—What do you know of Robinson ? Witness—l have seen him in thieves' company, but I cannot say of my own knowledge that he has been in custody before. _ _ _ Mr. Broughton—Do you know anything of the prisoner Mahon ? Witness—Yes: he was sentenc(-d in February, 1849, to three months' hard labour for having a nun.ber of skeleton keys in his possession of which he could not give a satisfactory account. His right name is James Hollindale. Air. Broughton—Have vou often seen him since that period ? Witness—Yes: and generally - as an associate of thieves at the George public-house. M.:hon—You have not seen me there lately, have you ? Witn(•ss—No. ALihon—Was it anything unusual for me to be miss: I from there for several nights together ? Wit ness—lt was. Mahon--= Had you ever seen me in Dyson's com pany b.-fore ? Witness—Yes, ;eery ofum. Mr. Broughton asked Supeiintendent Haynes as to the character which the Geor,,o•a public-house g.,ne rally bore, and he said that the landlord had several times been sou - moue(' for harbouring thieves, and that only a week or ten days ago he had been convicted at Southwark Police-court in the penalty of 3/. Robinson to Barry—Have you not missed me upon many occasions from the public-house you have spoken of in the Borough ? Barry—l have, but could not find out where you had gone to until I happened to take you into custody. By Mr. Broughton—When taken in charge, Mahon, on being told he was charged with a burglary at Mr. Holford's, said he knew nothing about the affair. Jones, 260. M, said, I was in company with Ser geant Barry when he visited the George, and there saw the three prisoners and others belonging to their party. I looked into the tap-room,'and Dyson nodded at me. There was a quart pot on the table. Mr. Broughton—Were they all sober ? Wit ness—They seemed to be so. Mr. Broughton—Where did you take the prisoners into custody ? Witness—From information which I and my brother officer received, we went to a beer , shop in a hack streA leading out of the Kingsland road, and BArry told Mahon that he must consider himself in custody, and I presently returned to the beer-shop, close to which I met Robinson, who, on being told what he was charged with, said " I have nothing to do with other people's doings;, and if other people do anything wrong that is no affair of mine." Mr. Broughton—Do you know Mahon ? Witness —Yes, sir; well. When we reached the Feather stone-street station-house, Mahon, who was there, upon seeing Robinson brought in, said, " You have no business to bring that man here, he knows nothing about it." And he kept on saying that he was innocent. Superintendent Haynes, to Barry- 7 Have you ex amined the hand 4 of the prisoner Mahon ? Barry— I have. His left hand was cut in the palm, and on the lower part of his right thumb was a mark as if a shot had penetrated it. Henry Locock, cabman, badge 5,417, was neat called. Mr. Broughton—Do you know Mr. Holford's house ? Witness—l do, sir. Mr. Broughton—When did yoU first hear of a robbery thNre ? Witness—This day fortnight, when Lockerhy and Mason, of the S division, took me to St. Thomas's Hospital, to see a man who had been wounded. Mr. Broughton (to Lockerby)—That man was I believe, brought bh.fore Mr. Long, and discharged as quite clear of the burglary ? Lockerby—Tnat is so, your Worship. Mr. Broughton (to Locock)—W hat do you know in connexion with this affair at Mr. Holford's ? Wit ness—At about half-past one or twenty minutes to two on the morning of this day fortnight, I had just put down a joh at the York and Albany Tavern, when the prisoner Mahon came up to me, and I asked him if he wanted a cab—t, which he replied, " Yes." He told me that he had been bitten by a dog, and he showed me his hand, which was bleeding very much. I told him there was a pump close by, at which he could wash it; and while 1 was speaking to him, another man came by, bleeding from the head, and without a hat. He got into the cab, and ordered die to drive to the Strand. Mr. Broughton—Did he and the other man who went to the pump speak ? Witness—they did not, your Worship, and I had no reason to think that they knew each other. While goiog along Albany-street the man whom I was driving said he felt faint, and asked to ride outside. He alighted, saying that he would walk on, which he did, and soon atter, hearieg another cab behind, he got in again, saying. "Drive me as qukk as you canto Waterloo-bridge." He had no hat on, and I asked him what had become of his hat, but he made me no answer. I skl him down close to the brige, and I demanded 2s. 4d. as my fare, but he gave me only Is. 6d. I was at that moment hailed by a lady and gentleman, who gut into the vehicle, and I at the time objected to take them, not liking to do so until I had found out where the man whom I had brought to the bridge lived, as he was lying down, bleeding; but I was obliged to carry the fare I have spoken of, or ruu the risk of being sum moned and fined for refusing to do so. Mr. Broughton—Did he tell you how it was he had no hat ? Witness—No, sir ; but on the road to the bridge he expressed a wish to go down to the Strand by some bye street. Mason (S)_l think, sir, that I shall be able to bring forward one who was at Gloucester-gate, and who will give important evidence, upon a future occasion. Mr. Broughton (to Jones)—Since the burglary have you been in the habit of seeing the two pri soners, Mahon and Robinson, in the George public house? Jones—No, sir; I have missed them ever since : before Mr. Holford's affair took place I saw them there almost daily. Mr. Joseph, surgeon, Great Marylebone-street, ex amined the hands of Mahon. Upon the left hand there had been a cut, now nearly healed ; and below the right thumb there was a blue mark and an in dentation, as if made by a spent shot. He (Mr. Joseph) did no , :, consider that a shot had entered the flesh. Other evidence was gone into, from which it ap peared that while the prisoners were being convevtd from Featherstone-street .tation-house to the Albany street station in a cab, Robinson, in allusion to the burglary, said "That's riot my racket ; it's one scale higher than my doing." Mahon (~, n the road said nothing.' A hat, produced on a former occasion, was now produced by Dredge, 31 D ; it, had in it numerous stains of blood, and shut holes in the crown, as aho through the sides. Broughton—Where did you find this bat ? Witness—At a short distance from the house, under a bas! at which Mr. Paul fircd, and wber e lietb°l3 g bh • • th,, , alto 111.,n s,e LAj ,not, rsl ti i dead.
