(From the City Article of the Horning Chroniee.) We are told to-day, in the end of an elaborate and strangely involved argument, that " the main question recurs, and we can neither give an honourable nor a rational explanation of what has become of the 30,000,0001. and upwards of railway deposits." This is a fair confession at last. Our Contem porary admits that he has made a mess of it, and gives up the great railway deposit question as a bad job, which he finds neither honourable to himself nor rational. The very lame and impotent conclusion at which our Contemporary thus acknowledges he has arrived, does not surprise us, for sometimes these deposits are held by him to be in the banks, and alarm is anxiously sought to be aroused by considering how they are to be got out of their hands. Next day, nay, almost next paragraph, the pea is under another thimble. It is taken oat of the banks, and the delinquent money-lenders are brought forward to the bar of public opinion for thimble rigging, arraigned to answer the .charge " of utter improvi dence in the employment" o f the money, and " in bolstering up bad railway schemes with the money belonging to the good ones." Here, at lea7st, we have an admission that there are some "good" schemes amongst the flock, and this from such a vituperative' customer, is an admission worthy of notice. It is to be regrett e d diat, instead of using means to confound the whole in one heterogeneous mass, our Contem porary has not exercised his position and influence in endea vouring to establish a due distiaction between them, so that . he really good schemes might be known, and their just value appreciated. The most imminent danger ef the move ment consists in its immensity, and the want of discrimina tion which the public have committed by embarking their money in every scheme. The duty of the public press was to warn the public of their error—to endeavour, by argument and the force of fuels to repress the extent and impetuosity of the spirit of speculation. But, instead of following that course, our Contemporary; has " run a muck" against the whole, and endeavoured to prove himself a true prophet of mischief, by leaving no stone unturned to bring about the "storm" which he thinks is certain. The public mind is now at least easy as respects the payment of the railway deposits, and also as regards the employment which they have been put to by the banking interests. It is known that they have been regularly paid on the letters allotted. True, the actual amount paid is not ascertained ; but. there is every reason to believe that the stun of 30,000,0001., which it has been computed at by our Contemporary, is a gross exaggeration. We have grounds for stating further, that the bankers in London, the establishments who have been the chief recipients of the deposits, laugh at the notion of not being ready to account for them on a day's notice. We have made some inquiry, also, regarding the country banks, and although we cannot- speak with the same confidence in regard to them, yet we believe that they have been cautious in their investment of the rail way deposits, knowing that they must keep them on secur ties negotiable at all times. Indeed we hear that the deposits are not left many weeks in their hands, as a resolution front the Finance Committee speedily follows payment, ordering the proceeds to be paid over to th e L on d on b ankers on behalf of the Company. We may add that the deposit of 10 per cent. is only required by the standing orders of the House of Commons on those schemes which were not provisionally re gistered previous to some day last July. Those projects provi sionally registered prior to the day fixed, are entitled to go through the House of Commons, we believe, under the old deposit cf 5 per cent., although this exception is not adopted by the House of Lords. The promoters of these schemes may, however content themselves with payment of the 5 per cent until their Bills pass the Lower House, and if they be rejected by that branch of the Legislature, the other 5 per cent. will not be required of them. . _ LLOYD'S SHIPPING. - LONDON, OCT. 24.—Wind, S.E., light breeze and hazy.

EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—Under the prestige of the name of the railway monarch as the chairman of the Eastern Counties line, matters have already began to assume a far more advantageous aspect than they have hitherto worn. A most unaccustomed degree of regu larity characterises the arrival and departure of the trains, which are no longer allowed to crawl along at the p7easure of a single imbecile and "used up" engine, but we have ac tually seen with our own eyes two engines affixed in front of a train of ordinary length. Delays of hours are now dwind ling down to one hour or so. The clerks and officials are also on the gni vive, anti the nonchalant indifference which we formerly had so much occasion to admire, has given place to measures of activity and politeness it is wonderful to behold. There still wants, however, much reformation in many of the existing arrangements about the station, where a degree of exclusiveness and favouritism prevails which it would be wise to amend. In patience and Mr. Hudson there is, how ever, great comfort. A special general meeting of all the shareholders is advertised to take place on Thursday week, at one o'clock, at the London Tavern, when we presume the new system, which is to renovate the pecuniary and other energies of the line, will be enunciated by the chairman. With regard to the attendance of the provincial shareholders at this meeting, we think it would be advisable to follow the example of the Birmingham and other companies, which, on such occasions, convey the shareholders to town free of ex pense. We have scarcely any doubt that now this plan will be adopted on the Eastern Counties. POST-OFFICE NOTIC E.—The following notice, issued by command of the Postmaster-General, was put up On Thursday in the 'hall of the General Post-office, and at the various branch offices:— " General Post-office, October, 1845. " Much inconvenience having arisen from letters addressed to places on the western coast of America, forwarded via Chgres, being detained in the post-office of the Isthmus for the postage due for their conveyance between Chagres and Panama, the Postmaster-General has decided fur the future to inclose all letters so addressed in a packet, to be directed to her Majesty's Consul and Packet Agent at Panama, who will be instructed to forward the letters, if possible, to their several destinations, by any opportunities which present themselves. In like manner, the British Consul at Panama will make up a packet monthly for this office, containing letters which m a y b e forwarded to him from places on the western coast of America, and will prepay the transit postage on it, so as to insure its transmission to the United Kingdom. To cover the postage, which will be payable to the post-office of Panama on the packets thus addressed to, or forwarded by the British Consul, an additional rate of ls. the half-ounce, 2s. the ounce, &c., will be levied, on and after the Ist of No vember next, on all letters to and from places on the western coast of America, making the total rate on such letters 2s. the half-ounce, 4s. the ounce, &c." writing THE SIMPLON.—An English gentleman, from Domo d'Ossola, on the 15th, say-s-440n descending from the Simplon village towards Demo d'Ossola, there are body by ' of m s four places where the road is completely broken up in cone quenee of the late torrents.

The brid g e an d p ar t o f th e v iaduct near Domo d , O - sola has also been carried away." SMUGGLING.—The party, or foreigner, who arrived a few days s i nce b y th e A ntwerp steamer, an d w h o h a d hi s portmanteau and the whole of its contents seized by the revenue officers, for haying a quantity of tobacco concealed under a false bottom ingeniously fixed in the package, has since made an appeal for the restoration of the wearing apparel, &c., which was contained therein, being in humble circumstances, and being engaged to work for a considerable period in this conittry, which has been refused, on the ground that an intention of defrauding the revenuewas quite evident. The package, with the whole of the contents, has, therefore, been directed to be dealt with according to law, and the party himself also proceeded againsrefor the penalties which lie has incurred. ROBBERY OF Two GOLD WATCH ES.--OD Tues , day a notorious character, named Anne Bu Ben, was brought before Mr. Rushton, on a c h arge of haying: stolen two gold watches, of the value of 50/., an d f our sovereigns, the pro perty oFHarrison Griffin, a foreigner and a sailor. It ap peared that the prosecutor was asleep in a house of ques tionable character, near Williamson-square, on Monday night, and while the prisoner, who had cub - :red the bed room, was in the act of rifling his pockets the watches and money, he awoke and gave the alarm. (She threw one of the watches out of the window, and it wa 3 found in the street by a policeman. The other watch was found between the bed and the mattress. The fou r sown signs were not discovered. The prisoner was committ e d f in • te'rial.—Liver pool Ceririer. • FALLING-IN OF THE FLOOR OF A DISSENTING CirAnEt..—Two PERSONS KILLED.—On Wed nesday evening last, in the village of E as t W a ld ren, t h e floor of the Methodist chapel fell in. There was a meeting for the rpose of con sidering the plan of erecting a new chapel, the; present build ing being in a dilapidated state. During the. proceedings a crash was heard, and a considerable portion of the flooring suddenly gave way, precipitating a number o f persons into the cellars under. Several were extricated m ith fractured limbs and other serious injuries.. tinfortunateb 7 two persons were killed, namely, Mr. Joseph Sandon, of ;toke Marsh, farmer and a young man n am ed P a tt erson, an ass i stant to Mr. William Jones, draper of Waldren.

BENJAMIN V. DAVIES.—BILI. DiscouNnsa. The defendant, who is a milkman, on Saffron-hill, was summoned to show cause why he did not pay a sum of 5/. 4s. on a bill of exchange, on which judgment had been given against him. The parties interested do a good deal of busi ness in small bill discounting. The defendant said he would not make any offer to pay on the ground that the bill was a joint and several bill, signed by two other persons against whom actions had been brought, and who had given another bill for 231. for debt and costs, W. of which had been paid. The plaintiff said he had not taken any security. Defendant—Mr. Buchanan, your attorney, knows the fact. The COMMISSIONER—Let him be sworn. ( Mr. Buchanan) Did you ever sue Crispin or Brown on this bill. Mr. Buchanan—l am not 'aware that I did. My client tells me I did not; there might have been an arrangement with Mr. Barnett Joseph. Defendant—Yes, it was he who held the bill, and now, after the other security is got, it is handed over to Mr. Benjamin. Defendant—Are you not aware that 101. was paid? COMMISSIONER—In short, do you know of the actions against Brown and Crispin, or defendant. Mr. Buchanan—l am sure 1 don't know. My client tells me we did not bring an action against defennant. Defendant—But you know you did against Brown and Crispin. Buchannan--What has that to do with it, your name is Davis. lam only able to speak to the action against you ; my memory does not serve me as to other actions ; if you had given me notice to produce the papers in other suits I would have done so. The CO 3 BUSSIONER—DOU't you know these parties have been sued ? Mr. Buchanan—l believe not ;I am attorney to Mr. Joseph, and he says no. The defendant said he had lost a situation in the Post office, through being harassed on the Bill. Mr. Joseph was examined, he indorsed the bill to plaintiff, and had not paid it. The Defendant—Do you not discount for Mr. Buchanan? —No ' • did not recollect ev er g i ven money on a bill to M r. I3.'s clerk on a Saturday, except for a bill of costa perhaps. Mr. Buchanan—ln that part of the case you go a long way round to get rid of this judgment. The Commissioner directed the papers in the actions to be brought. Ali:. Buchanan sent fur them, and said actions had been commenced by Mr. Joseph, but this bill did not form part of the claim. The defendant having sworn that he did not earn more than 12s. a week, the Learned Counsel said he would not make any order for pa) maul. TILE 11013tiE1lY AT CAlittlithGE coLT.E(lE,—William Smith, with setefal ttliasea, described as a go , -cart than, was brotight up by inspector Shackel, of the detective fbrce; charged on suspicion with having, on the 29th September, stolen from St. Peter's College, Cambridge, a vast quantity of property, value 1,000/., consisting of the following articles:— Four plated dishes and covers, two silver tankards, one hold ing a quart, and the other five half pints; 17 silver pint stoop', two ditto with handles, five half-pint ditto, four dozen and five large silver forks, four dozen and four silver table spoons, 25 dessert spoons, two silver sauce tureens and covers, four ladles, three silver mustard pots and covers, 29 silver table forks, a silver fish knife, two large silver soup ladles, nine silver salts and nine silver salt spoons, a large silver waiter marked "Mtrgrave," 1739, a small ditto, "Eton, 1816," a silver bread basket, two ditto dishes and covers, three silver gravy spoons, and a silver marrow spoon. The silver dish covers have the words" Aelfredus Yeasey, Hujus Collegii olim Socius, D.D.," marked on them ; one of the tankards is marked " Ex done R. Harrison, 1662 ;" and the other " Ex dono Francisci Gofton (and four other names), Coll. Pet., Cantab, 1771 ;" some of the forks were marked "Ex dono Guli Mich. Lally, LL.L., Soc. Comm.," and others "Ex dono Geo. Robinson, Soc. Comm., 1818 ;" same of the spoons were marked "Pett. Coll.," others "Ex done Ross," and others "Ex dono lIale." Parts of the plate bear the college arms or crest (cross keys), others 'the arms of the donor, and all or most of it is marked "Pat. Coll. Cainb.," or "Coll. Div. Pet." The InPpector said that having received inf xmation of the robbery two constables of the L division took the pri soner into custody on a warrant, as he answered the descrip tion given by the authorities at Cambridge; and if a remand was ordered sufficient evidence could be brought forward to establish the charge. In answer to the charge the prisoner said that the mo ment he understood he was smtpcccd cf having committed the robbery he lolt no time in g ing to the station-house and giving himself up to two constables present, to whom he was well known, by whom be was immediately handed over to the detective force; and if there was any foundation in the charge there was abundance of time sin c e his appre hension to have received an answer from Cambr:dge, to w Lich place be was given to understand an account of his being in custody had been Inspector Shackel said that when inquiries were set on foot after the robbery was cornrui!ted, it was a certaiued that the prieoner, who had been in the ecliege on the day in question, had suddenly disappeared ; strong suspicions were thus en tertained that he was concerned, and in consequence a war rant was instantly issued f6r his apprehension. The prisoner repeated that sufficient time had elapsed to obtain the requisite information from Cambridge, and he thought it a great hardship that he should be detained when there was no subsubstantial proof against him. He was then ordered to be brought up at a future day. Mr. Boswell, relieving officer of Cleveland-street Work house, appeared before Mr. Jardine, to prefer a charge of assault. The prisoner, a man about thirty years of age, had been several times an inmate of the house, but from his un willingness to work had been subjected to punishment. On this account Mr. Boswell thought him unfit to be again an inmate, and refused him admittance. This give the prisoner occasion to execute some threats he had vented SO late as yesterday ; he retired a little way backwards from the office and hurled a stone through the window, which, from its passing close to his head, must have been aimed at Mr. Boswell ; there are, besides, no :Ames to be picked up in thecourt where he was, so that it must have been brought into the house for the purpose. The prisoner said he was destitute, and used these means to get him au asylum. The MAGISTRATE imposed a fine of 25., the worth of the pane of glass, or 14 days' imprisonment, and a fine of 20s. for the assault, or one month's imprisonment. A young man, about 22 years of age, was brought up charged with stealing cigars from a tobacconist's shop in Bry - dges-street, Covent-garden. James Gavin saw the prisoner busy about the shop winnow. and had his suspicions excited. In a little time the prisoner .crossed the street to two companions. All the three returned to the shop window; one of them held up the lappet of his coat to the window, while another busied himself in extract ing the cigars at a hole made in the putty with a nail. Gavin followed them from this, and had the prisoner taken into custody the other two made their escape. Six cigars were found on the prisoner, and some nails.—He was com mitted for trial. prehended by Cornish, an active officer of the B division, and brought to this Court. Prisoner, who said the property was all her own, was re manded for a week. WORSHIP-STREET. THE CASE OF' MALICIOUS SHOOTING AT HOMERTON.— Philip Ernst, who stood charged with having wilfully fired a gun loaded with shot at John French Field, a master car penter, residing at Upper Clapton, was placed at the bar for final examination. The facts of the case have already been fully detailed iu this - paper. Mr. Vann, who appeared for the prisoner, addressed the Magistrate on behalf of his client, and said that as the pro secutor was now entirely out of danger, and fast progressing towards recovery, he hoped the latter would be permitted to forego the prosecution, to which course he had himself as sented, on condition that he received an adequate compensa tion fur the sufferings lie had undergo ne. Mr. COMBE said that he could not for a moment listen to the proposed arrangement, as he was bound to consider the interests of the public, which required that such wanton mid serious mischief as the prisoner had inflicted should be strin gently dealt with. Mr. Wain then applied for the liberation of the prisoner upon bail, which his friends were prepared to tender to any amount that aught be required, but the application was positively refused. The depositions were accordingly taken, and the prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for trial. HAM MEITSM I TH. _ _ Maria Elizabeth Thomas, a vindictive-looking young woman, short in stature, Who has during the last four or five years been repsatedly committed from this Court fur mis conduct in the Hammersmith workhouse, and has been three tines committed to prison fur assaults upon inmates of the Kensington workhouse, was charged before Mr. T. Paynter, the sitting magistrate, with having assaulten Sarah Lection, another inmate of the Kensington workhouse, and threat. ened her life, Ssrah Lection, a remarkably respectable and decently dressed female, nearly six feet nigh, mid apparently between seventy Lind eighty years of age, deposed that she and the prisoner were both inmates in the Kensington workhouse. Witness went that morning to a cuplyiard, in which she kept her tea-things, and with which the prisoner bad nothing to do, when the prisoner dew at Ler and beat her most severely about the head, until it was a mass of bruises. By Mr. PAYNTER—The prisoner had before assaulted wit ness, some months since, by dashing the door of a cupboard against witness's head, when she threatened in the Court to have her revenge of witness. The prisoner—And I'il do so still, if it is six months to come. Mr. PAYNTER—Your violent conduct is likely to keep you in prison the best part of that time. The prisoner—l don't care. I'll have my revenge. Mr. PAYNTER then referred to the minutes of the Court, and found that on the former occ%sion the prisoner had been fined 40s. or a month's imprisonment, on the 17th of July last, which she had undergone, and said he should on the pre sent occasion commit her for twenty-one du) s, with hard labour in the House of Correction, for misconduct in the workhouse, and the next time she was brought before him, he would send her to six weeks' hard labour. The prisoner said, " Never mind, yet have my revenge of her, if it is twenty years to come." Mr. PAYNTER said, after that threat, she must, at the ex piration of her imprisonment, find two sureties in 101. each to keep the peace for two months. Notwithstanding which, The prisoner, as she was removed from the bar, cast a malignant look at the complainant, and said, in a cool de termined tone, "Never mind, I'll serve the old b— out when I come out, for all that; mind, I don't say I'll murder her— but I'll have my revenge." THAMES. John Dempsey, a u ell-known " duffer," was brought before Mr. Ballantine on Thursday, on remand, charged, under very extraordinary circumstances, with unlawfully, and by means of a false pretence, obtaining a silver watch, valued at 5/, from Thomas Strutt, the mate of the brig Mary, lying in the St. Katharine Docks. The case excited very - great interest, arising from the fact that the prisoner falsely acctieed three seamen belonging to the Leo of South Shields, with robbing him of a - silver watch on the 18th of last month. After two days' investigation, before Mr. Broderip on the first clay, and Sir. Ballantine on the second, the innocence of the seamen was clearly estab lished ; and it was proved that Dempsey had disposal of to one of them a worthless watch, called a " duffer," fur whic;; he obtained a good silver watch and 30s. in money. When he came to the bhip a second time he attempted a similar imposition upon mother seaman, who refused to part with the watch handed to him by the prisoner until his shipmate's watch was restored, and Dempsey then charged the three seamen with a robbery. The MA6UTRATES reprobated in strong terms the con duct of Dempsey; and several police and dock ,fficers that Dempsey had frequently sold '• duffers" to seamen and other, that he had been IL custody several times tine fraud, and that he had been forbidden to enter any of the docks. Since then numerous complaints had been made of the same person, and of another man named Thompson, alias 11PBean, who has been expelled the docks, and who has fre quently acted in concert with Dempsey. Watches sold by the two fellows for 51. and 71. each have been produced in court of a very showy appearance, but only worth about as many shillings as pout ds have been given fur them. The anxiety of masters, mates, and seamen to possess very smart looking watches on their return from a voyoge renders them an easy prey to the tricks of the duffers, who abound on the river and in the docks. Several offiura knew the prisoner to be a regular duffer. Mr. W. T. Middleton, a very respectable watchmaker, re siding in the Commercial-ro.td, was sent for by the magis trate, and he deposed that the sailor's watch was a g 0.4 sound watch, capped and jewelled, and if he had given 41. 10:_2. for it he had not given too much. The other watch was what was called by the trade a " duffer," made for sight and not for use. He could sell such a watch for 305., and obtain a good profit by it. The " duffer" had no chronometer ba lance. Mr. BALLANTINE thanked the witness for his opinion, and said he must further trouble him to attend the Old Bailey. lip should commit the prisoner for trial for the fraud. lie would take bail for the prisoner's appearance at the sessions if he could °Wain it, himself in 80/.., and two securities of 40i. each, but he would have good had, and, if tendered, it must be inquired into, and notice given to Sergeant White of the City police; he would take care the bail was not so artificial as the watch belonging to the prisoner.—(Laughter.) Dempsey was committed in default of sureties. GREEN WI CH. ATTEMPTED MURDEM—Otarlotte Mackey, a married woman, about 30 years of age, was brought up for final examination, charged with stabbing her husband in the face with a knife. John Mackey, an elderly n an, husband of the prisoner, appeared in the witness-box with his head bound up, and his left cheek covered with strapping. The poor fellow, from the injuries inflicted, gave his evidence with great dif ficulty, The prisoner was accommodated with a chair in the dock and sobbed aloud during the examination. John Mackey, on being sworn, said that he lived at No. 19,New-street, Deptford. He had been married to the pri soner five years. She had borne him no children. About half-past one o'clock on 'Wednesday, the 15th instant, they were sitting down to dinner, during which a few words en sued. The prisoner said he should go out. He did not know where she intended to go. He persuaded her to re main at home, and not leave the house. She had been drink ing previously to his coming home to dinner. The prisoner made no reply to his request, and immediately afterwards jumped up, and seizing hold of a knife which lay on the table, cut him down the cheek with it without a single word. The knife passed through his left cheek into his mouth. Witness said nothing, and put up his hand to stop the effusion of blood, not knowing the extent of the injury Inflicted. The knife was taken from the prisoner by his land lord directly afterwards. Ralph Newby deposed that the prosecutor and his wife lodged at his house, No. 19, New-street, Deptford. They were at dinner in the kitchen. Witness was present smoking a pipe at the fire-side. Prisoner and her husband were jar ring tcgether. The prisoner had been out drinking some where before dinner. Her husband was quite sober. A few words ensued, when she seized hold of the knife produced (a white-handled table knife), and without saying anything until after she had used it, stabbed him in the face, making a wound several inches long. The cut went completely through to his teeth. She then made a blow at his side with the knife, saying that she would "finish" him. Thinking that the man would be murdered, he knocked the prisoner down, and forced the knife from her. Witness t lien ran and called a police constable. The policeman and prisoner went out, and witness accompanied the prosecutor to a chemst's shop in Flagon-row, where he had prompt surgical assis tance. Mr. Edward Dowling, police surgeon, attended the pros,- cutor. The woand inflicted was a circular one of the left cheek, and extended through the cheek to his teeth, and Must have caused a fearful loss of blood. It was doubtful for some time after whether the poor man would survive, owing to the great exhaustion from loss otiolo.4d.

MALTA, OCT. 15.—There is but litLe news of a naval cha , racter, and none of any other, since my last. Lieutenant Mapleton, of her Majesty's steamer Sydenham, has been subjected to a court of inquiry, for having got his vessel on shore, in coming from Corfu. This excellent officer was fully and honourably acquitted of all blame, and received the highest encomiums from the court on the skilful manncr in which she was got off without injury. Her Majesty's steamers Jackall and Bloodhound, two new vessels lately built in Glasgow, arrived here on the 7th and Bth instant. They are sharp iron boats, ploughing their way at the rate of nine or ten Icnots. This speed has not an swered the expectation formed of them, as, on their passage from Glasgow, the tin.mer numbered 11 and 12, and the latter 13 knots per hour on their 1"g. With then- stores on board, they are deeper in the water by a foot than was ex pected; hence probably the cause of the differe,ce in their speed. Her Majesty's steamer Polyphemus has arrived with the mails from the lonian Islands and Grei-te. A court of inquiry has beat sitting of Mr. Protherw, Assistant-Surgeon of the Jackall steamer, recently arrive , + here ; on charges of inebriety. The result has n• t transpired; but a court martial will, it is said, result from the h quirs. The Jackall is urnler orders for the lonian Islands to re lieve the Spitfire, wrlicla will be employed in the packet service. The French Government Int; resolved on doing away with the communication between Syra and MAta, and vice versa, as also with the direct communication bet een Greece and Egypt.

Her illjesty's steamer Geyser is to leave port. on the lilth inst. for England direct. She takes several irrrolids from the hoTital. Among the passengers by her we find (..!aotain Hancock, R.A.; Lieutenant Cunningham, of the 42d Regi ment, on six months' sick leave; Mr. Ratter, late of the Sydenham, superseded, and Mrs. Millar, the widow of Lieu tenant-Commai!der Millar, of the Volcano.

The French Government st,amer Caire, from Alexandria, has arrived. She left on the 10th inst., on which day a mail from Calcutta bad been telegraphed. The Cairc has experienced a little damage, and will re quire some tinkering ere she can be prepared to pursue her trip. The Levant mail has arrivel.

The Society was instituted in 1835. Several resolutions were proplsed to the meeting and unanimously adopted. Thev empowed the Committee to purchase a site of ground at Wood-green, near Tottenham and Hornsey, presented as being perfectly suited with respect to size, price, &c., for the construction of an asylum for twenty-four aged and infirm members of the two trades; also to. collect plans and estimates, &c., from which to select several, and lay them before a subsequent general meeting.

FIRE IN LIVERPOOL.—On Thursday, a few minutes after one o'clock r.ar., a fire broke out in the paper manufac tory of Messrs. Eaton and Co., in Pleasant-street. and threatened for some time to do serious mischief on all sides. The flames burst out of the windows both in front. and rear with great fury. However, in a very short time the West of England fire-engine, and two or three engines belonging to the Liverpool fire brigade, were ou the spot, and quickly commenced playing upon the flames. The fire police were very a:A ive and indefatigable in their exertions. We regret to say that no portion of the property has been saved. Of the origin of the fire we are unable to speak, as it has not been fully ascertained. It is supposed to have broken out among some oil in the cellar. The house and property have been fully insured.

He rwhed followed by his assistant, any discovered the prisoner by a still, in which was a large quantity Pf mo lasses. They then proceeded to search the interior of tLe mill, upon Which they discovered another still, both being able to contain 40 gallons each. They also found 500 gallons of wash, 150 gallons of yea , t, between ,5 and 6 cwt. of mo • lasses. 14 tubs, some of them capable of holding 100 gallons, a quantity of aquafortis, several casks, bladders, &c. ; and the prisoner stated that the profits from the stills were about 201. a day. The prisoner, who pleaded guilty, was fined in a penalty of' 301., which he paid. The stills were provided with water from the moat, and there was a running, stream into which the wash was allowed to escape after distillation. DEATH OF A. BOY FROM CHOLERA.—On Wed nescidy afternoon an inquiry of some hours' duration was instituted before Mr. T,lliggs, coroner for the Duchy of Lan caster, at the Whdafaheaf Tavern, Enfield, touching the death ' Of James Maynard, aged twelve years, which oc timed under the following ctrcutnstances:—From the evi dBn#6 it appeared that the deceased, with his parents, per sons_ in middling circumstances, res!fied in Meeting-house iirtra; Baker-street, In the above village. On Friday last there bttibg a sale of the effects of a house in Baker-street, recently occupl&l by d gentleman named Capes, the de eeased and other boys whd 'Were present, assisted in remov ipse Some bottles which had contained wine and malt liquor. While so engaged the deceased was observed to put one of the bottler!, in which was a liquid, to his mouth, and drink twice .heartily, immediately after which he threw himself and beCaine very sick. He was then led home, where, on reaching, lie fell on the floor, apparently in great agony, ant.: lacing his hanti§ to his sides, complained of a violent pain in ' r 1 • each. Getting 'Worse, a surgeon was sent for, who administered au e;.24ic, and deegaed vomited a quantity of bile, of a green colour. 111, tongue wsa exceedingly foul, and an aperient was riven to hint, - b et I:,e still complained of his stomach, and notwithstanding everythin; being done which medical skill could devise to relieve him, he g rapidly worse, and died on Sunday.

ESEX SESSIONS. Before the Assistant Jbid , e, Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, and a Bench of gasistrate;.) On Thursday, William Whitehead, a soldier in the Scotch Fusilier Guards, stationed at Kensington, was indicted for assaulting Ellen Horme, aged 13 years. The soldier, when in a state of ictoxication had taken certain liberties with the girl, who was his servant, in the absence of his wife. He received an excellent character and bore three stripes on his ann—a stripe for every 10 years of good conduct, The jury found the defendant Guilty, but recommended him to mercy. The Junti;ll in passing sentence, said that the Court felt deeply the melancholy situation of the prisoner, and would take into consideration that he would probably forfeit the advantages that would accrue to him by the military regu lations for 30 years' service. A painful instance of a similar kind was mentioned to him by his nephew, the command ing officer of the regiment, a short time ago, when a ser geant, a valued officer, who was within a few months of 40 years' active, and had made arrangements for the suppo r t of an aged parent, and to retire with honour from the army, had, by indulging in perhaps a couple of pints of beer more than usual, lost the whole advantages accruing to him for his lengthened service. Under the circumstances, the Court would sentence him t 3 imprisonment for 21 days for the common assault. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. John Waite, the captain of two canal boats belonging to Mr. Keep, a coal-merchant of Reading, was brought before ' Mr. Alderman Wood, charged with embezzling 161, 15s. Mr. Keep stated that the prisoner was in his employ in May last, and was authorised generally to receive moneys on his account. He was directed to call on Messrs. Harvey, Napier, and Co., at the Grand Junction "Wharf, for the above sum, and to return with his two boats, paying his way out cf the money. Instead of returning, however, he absconded, and witness saw no more of him till he returned to Reading on Wednesday, and was taken into custody. Henry Houlton, the superintendent of the police at Read ing, stated that he took the prisoner in charge, and told him what the complaint was. The prisoner replied that he was sorry for it, but he could not repay the money except by working it out. Mr. Alderman WOOD said the case was clearly made out, and he committed the prisoner for trial. Richard Philpotts, the driver of an omnibus, was brought up in custody as having caused the death of a child on Lud gate-hill on the preceding afternoon. - Mr. Todd, of Godliman-street, who was pasting at the time the accident occurred, and Mr. Brunskell, of Pater noster-row, who was an outside passenger, were examined. It appeared that the driver was blameless, and pulled up as seen as an alarm was given to him. The child, named Ed ward Fleming, was about five years old, and was in the care of a girl, who had an infant in her arms. The child ran away from her playfully, and attempted to cross, when it fell under the belly of the nearest omnibus horse. The child fell with its head under the wheel, by which it was crushed. The horses were walking, and were soon stopped. A Mr. O'flennessy dragged the child out, and it was conveyed to the hospital, where it lingered till yesterday morning. The driver was not in a position to see the child run under the horee. Charlotte Jarvis, the girl who was in charge of the de ceased, said she told hint not to cross, but he ran off the footwayand got his feet in the gutter, when he was knocked down. John Fleming, of No. 2, Suffolk -street, Clerkenwell-green, the father of the deceased, said he did not wish to make money by the death of his child, which appeared to be an accident, but he had heard of compensation being made in such cases, and his case would be a proper one, for he was so poor, he actually could not afford to bury the child. Mr. Alderman Wool) said thw, viewing it as a case of accident, not controllable by human means, he could not re quire the defendant to make any pecuniary compensation. He could only require him to tied sureties to appear again on Saturday, before which time a coroner's inquest would have pronounced its opinion; but, in consideration of the father's distre3s, he the poor box wou'd order a sov ere i gn to be paid to him from . Mr. Johnson, the proprietor of the omnibus, immediately father two offered to pay the funeral expenses, and gave the sovereigns. - STREET. RT. The defendant was ß 1)(4)l1eVd. wa s 'placed at the bar, before Mr. Twyford, A young man of respectable appearance, named Rd. Holle art uttering a forged cheque for 12/. 128., with in charged e Martin, with tent to defraud Joseph Pamplin and others. Mr. James Taylor, a hosier, carrying on business at N 0.13, Cornhill, stated that on the Bth instant the prisoner called at his shop and selected a considerable quantity of goods, which he directed should be sent to his lodgings, in Craven -street. Strand; and in the course of the day an assistant was sent " would require withlvi t h any the m of . theto w propertyhom strict v i orders thoat were ti ; o m g o i n v e e 3 n ., not id to on his o a t rr h i o v z il a lg rti a c t io t s l:e t; h 3 o , u n s l a ii t c l i t i e prisoner told e t o i l n d d o ht h t h e young man to accept a cheque for the amount, 74, 1 •tch turned out to be a forgery. Joseph Pamplin said that :n accordance with the orders he received from the last Witness he took home the goods, and on the pris oner want i ng him to leave them without the money, be said he had received strict directions to bring back the money or the goods, and the prisoner then wrote the cheque produced upon Call's bank, which he took to his employer. Mr. Taylor said that he sent the cheque to be presented two days after he received it, and the answer was that the prisoner was not known there; and, moreover, that another forged cheque had lately been presented at the bank in the same name. The prisoner requested that he might be remanded, as he could bring witnesses at a future day who would prove his innocence, and hoped that the Magistrate would in the meantime accept of bail ; which, as a matter of course, was refused. The prisoner was then removed. wifi•o!!Rl MARYLEBONft% On Thursday the Court was much crowded in consequence of its being the day appointed fur the examination of William Morse, formerly in the service of the Great Western Railway Company, on the charge of having stolen a very handsome dressing-case with silver fitting. ' and also with bein g con cerned in other robberies on the line in question. The utmost degree of interest was excited, and at one o'clock the pri soner was placed at the bar. Mr. Nash, from the firm of Naples, Pearce, Stephens, and Co., solicitors, Old Jewry, attended on the part of the pro secution, and Mr. Robinson for the prisoner. A w eat deal of fresh evidence was gone into, touching the stealing of the dressing-case, and the prisoner was or dered to be bronght up again next Thursday. A number of letters, it will be remembered, have been written to Mr. Nash, in regard to Garrett's case, all of them being of a threatening nature, and in reference to the present case, Mr. Collard, the superintendent of the Great Western Railway police, has within the last two or three days received a communication, of which the following is a copy : "'Sir,—Don't you wish you may get rurther evidence for the lady's dressing-case. I' can tell you, !Sir if you do not draw it mild and keep more darke in Maynard's case, it will be the worse for you in the end. I shall be on the watch fur you and Mr. Nash next ThursdAy. "I remain, yours, "JACK MILLER. " To Mr. Collard, Police-station, Paddington." MAIILBOROUGH-STREET, Bridget Buckley was charged with having assaulted David Strout', a broker's assistant. The complain:set, who had his face badly scratched, said the defendant owed about 245. rent, and had removed her goods c andestinely to her present lodgings. His employer, a broker named Eic,,ife, bad obtained a warrant of distraint, and under that warrant he had obtained access to the room in Husband-street, whe!e the goods had been deposited, by getting through an open window. Having produced his warrant, he was immediately attacked by the defendant, and in a short time a mob of a hundred persons assembled, and he. was but too happy to escape with life. Scaife, the broker, said the defendant was Irish, and the place to which she had removed was an Irish locality. It was next to impossible to execute the law in these places. Tho3e who attempted it did so at the peril of their lives. The landlords who owned the houses could not get their rents, and if a distress on the goods was attempted the Irish inha bitants made common cause and ill-treated those who tried to enforce the law. He had told the complainant to enter the house and seize the goods under the original warrant of distress which had bean obtained. Mr. HARDWICK wished to know by what authority the broker had followed the goods to another place, and had there made a seizure without the warrant of a magistrate? The broker said it had been decided over and over again by the judges, that if a tenant removed goods clandestinely in order to avoid the payment of rent, those goods might be followed and seized under a warrant of distress wherever they could be found, provided the seizure was made within thirty days, and without any forcible entry. In the present case the seizure had been made within the prescribed time, and without any forcible entry, as the assistant had got in by an open window, without breaking, which was necessary to constitute a forcible entry. Mr. HARDWICK did not think that to prove a forcible entry by law it was necessary to show that any breaking in had occurred. He then appealed to Mr. Allen, the vestry clerk of St. Anne's, for his opinion as to the law on the sub ject of following goods from place to place, without a special warrant for the place in which such goods were found. Mr. Allen said his opinion was that a broker, armed with a distress warrant, was authorised to follow goods clandes tinely removed to avoid the payment of rent due, within a limited number of clays. But then there must be no forcible entry, and it must be clearly established that rent was due, and that the goods had been removed to avoid the payment of the rent. In his opinion, it was a forcible entry to get in at a window, as that was not the ordinary mode of entering 'a house. Mr. HARDWICK said this view of the law coincided with his own. The broker wished to know whether a man was to be beaten and murdered when attempting to . execute a legal process? • Mr. HARDWICK replied that an assault had undoubtedly been committed on the defendant, but then this assault arose out of the commission of an illegal act on the part of the de fendant. If a broker required the protection of the law in the execution of his business he must take care to conduct his business in a legal manlier. The defendant's husband proved that the rent had been offered and refused, and that the goods had not been re moved to avoid the payment of rent due. The charge was dismissed. A JEREMY DlDDLER.—nOttett atthi , n Stylish young gentleman, was charged With Obtaining goods under frau dulent pretences from a number of West-end tradeenien, Mr. W. Henry Martin, whip and umbrella-Maker, Burling ton-arcade, said the defendant Called at his shop in Septem ber, and conducted himself so as to impress him with the belief that he was a distinguished member of the epOrtieg circles, Ile ordered a tandem whip a hunting whip, two canes, and a parasol, to be sent to his apartments in Hans place, Chelsea, on approbation. 'the goods were left, but when a call was made to ascertain if they , sulted, it was discovered that the customer and goods had vanished. Complainant discovered that a portion of his goods had been pledged at Mr. Rochtbres, a pawnbroker in the district: Mr. lienowicK said the tornplainent's case was one of a very comm in deneriptien. He had believed the defendant% representations, and had not taken the precaution to make those Inquiries and obtain those references which ordinary caution would dicta's. Mr. Martia said he must shut up his shop if be attempted to conduct his business on such a system. Were he to ask a sporting gentleman, or a gentleman of fashion, for a refer ence, the party applied to would ask him if he looked like a thief, and would take care not to let the cirmtnstance remain unknown among his friends. It was hardly conceivable what risks tradesmen were obliged to run, and the small amount of protection they had. Mr. HAttuvirece. replied that the law did not reach the present case. Morally, the defendant might have swindled the complainant out of his Property, but legally it was a debt, As it weS stated that many other charges of the Aanie sort would be produced, several o!her tradesmen were e:itamihtd, but their cases possessing similar features, met of course with the Caine fate. Mr. HARDWICIiWas informed there were also clutrget passing forged cheques against the prisoner. These, however, being within the Bow-street district, the prisoner was ark• manded to that Court.

Here, as hi the former place, the losses were frequent and considerable, and another servant, on w h om suspicion unfortunately fell, was dis charged. Prisoner's boxes were subsequently searched, and a profusion of handsome dresses, shawls, very expensive female under clothing, jewellery, perfumery, and such other articles as it would be most unreasonable to suppose a servant could honestly obtain, were found, as also a number of dupli cates. As Mrs. Cand well supposed that these related to pro perty missing from her hous, she sent to the.pawnbruker's, when, finding that the articles did not belong to her, a‘te very properly apprised Mrs..
