THE ROYAL PROCESSION TO PARLIAMENT. h 'FM prorogations have excited so much interest as that of the .I . arliament in 1851. It is preparatory to a dissolution. Will the . " , le Parliament ever meet again, are questions which arise among p oliticians, but cannot be answered. The Parliament is rarely al wed to die a natural d , ath, and the present is drawing nearly to its Clos e and may be dissolved before Christmas. taking advantage of the calm which succeeds a stormy session, and fr.nn the benefit de th'ed from the absence of all political excitement ; meanwh il e . t he is on the qui wive , providing for the Sporting season , an d e rush to the Establishment of E.

It is impossible to conceive the effect of the display of seasonable C lothing, comprising lightness, durability, style, elegance, and slnfort. Every variety of material and design that the most ingenious artists and the best workwomen can invent and execute, may be seen at the great Mart in Aldgate and the Minories, or the Noble West-end Branch Establishment, in New Oxford-street, corner o f Hart -street. A Gentleman can, when dressed in one of i;',Psrs. E. MOSES and SON'S new and fashionable Sporting Coats, ring his gun to his shoulder or throw a fly with as much freedom as he had no Coat on, and yet defy the weather, for they throw off th e water like a duck's back, and a re, nevertheless. thin, light, and ealitifullv ventilated; ut tact Messrs. E. MOSES and SON have made Sporting Coats, among other things, a study, knowing th a t perfect freedom of action, lightnes s of material, a good fit, a certai n 'egree of style and elegance, and durability, are all necessary t o I, l ' l , a ke a gentleman really enjoy sport. It is, therefore , with the '‘,.:llllest confidence that Messrs. E.

Ball, police constable 118 M, said that he searched ve.r, the prisoner, and found among the silver a shilling which prosecutrix and her husband identified as being. in the box which was broken open. Thomas Knight, husband of the first witness, said he put the silver in the box on Friday night, and while counting it his attention was particularly called to one of the shillings on account of its smooth ap. pearance, and its being bent in a peculiar manned. He believed the shilling produced by the constable ty be the one. Mr. A ' BECKETT asked whether any of the other property had been found. The constable replied in the negative. Mr. A ' BECKETT said that there were great suspi. cions attached to the prisoner, which would warrant bis remanding him for a few days.

They then went on board the Dauntless steam-frigate, Captain Halsted, in the basin, where they remained until e l even o ' c l ock, when they were rejoined by Rear-Admiral Berkeley, &c. After the Dauntless, the Edinburgh, intended block-ship, came in for observation, where Rear-Admiral Berkeley again left them, and with Sir B. Walker and Captain Charles Graham, of the Rodney, 92, and Captain Henderson, went on board the latter ship, where they remained until noon, and thence proceeded to the steam-basin to join the other members of the Board, and went on board the Termagant steam-frigate, whenee the whol e p arty proceeded to Admiral-Superintendent Prescott's to luncheon. At two P.M. they left and perambulated the new docks, the now convict prison, the watering island, and inspected the pile.driving, where the wall is giving out; they then inspected the chain cable store, and the machine for ,cleaning the cables by steam; they then ascended to the sail loft, and inspected that department, which they left for the rigging -house, th© sea-storehouse, &c.

WESTMINSTER SCHOLARS' MATCH. A capital boat race took place yesterday morning, amongst Westminster scholars, for a pair of handsome silver cups. It was a pa i r-oared race, in one heat, the course being from opposite the Red House, Battersea, down to Westminster Bridge. Messrs. Lacey and Wright Messrs. S. Fellowes and Hunt 2 Messrs. A. Williams and E. Williams Messrs. E. Vincent and Terriff Messrs. Green and Sommerville 5 Messrs. Armstead and Berens A capital start was effected under the direction of Mr. Upperton, who officiated as umpire, and all got away abreast of each other. The William s ' s too k immedi ately afterwards a slight lead, closely followed by Messrs.

The prisoner lived with Captain Picker ing, who was his grandfather. Hawler was six weeks under a surgeon. The tendon of the finger was cut across. Mr. STONE contended that there was no intention on the part of the prisoner to do any grievous bodily harm. A witness gave the prisoner a good character, but admitted that he had heard that he had beaten a gir. cruelly. Lord CAMPBELL said it was a very distressing case on account of the youth of the prisoner. The jury, perhaps, might consider that he had not intended to do bodily harm. The jury found him Guilty of a common assault only. Lord CAMPBELL said—What am Ito do with him ? I don't like to send him to a common gaol; and yet he must not escape. He must be sentenced to one month's solitary confinement. The case excited great interest. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(More Mr. Justice Co- LERIDGE and a Special Jury.) FRANCIS V. LEACII AND ANOTHER. _ _ Mr. Crowder,. Mr. Barstow, and Mr. Leigh were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Butt, Mr. Fitzher. bert, and Mr. M. Smith for the defendant. This was an action brought to recover damages against the defendants, who are attorneys in this county, for negligence. The defendants had prepand a will for a Miss Bondfield, who was tenant in tail of an estate, and by this will she devised her estate and interest to the defendants, in trust for the plaintiff. She subse quently suffered a recovery, barring the entail, and acquiring the fee. This had the effect of revoking the will. The testatrix then became lunatic, and a commission of lunacy was issued, under which she was declared to be a lunatic. Shortly afterwards she had a lucid interval, and then republished her will, and subsequently died. The plaintiff was all this time abroad, and was a minor. The defendants re ceived the rents. The plaintiff came of age in 1835, and in 1838, upon his marriage, a settlement was executed containing a power of sale. The property had been mortgaged. It 1848 the plaintiff became embarrassed, and the estate was offered for sale under conditions which did not contain any notice of the lunacy, nor was that fact mentioned in the abstract of title, though the fact it was presumed was known in the neighbourhood. The purchasers afterwards re fused to complete the purchase, and the question now was, whether this suppression of the lunacy was an act of negligence. For the plaintiff several attorneys were called, who gave it as their opinion that it amounted to negli gence. For the defendants it was urged, that as the fact of the lunacy was well known in the neighbourhood, it was not requisite to mention it in the conditions of sale. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 2501. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, Aug. 11. The commission was opened on Ssturday. The Court sat to-day at ten for the dispatch of business. On the civil side there was an entry of fifteen causes, of which five were marked for special juries. Of these, one, which was expected to occupy several days, has been arranged out of court. This was " The Queen at the relation of Lovegrove v. Pruen," which was a proceeding by quo warranto to try the validity of the election of the defendant as coroner for the Cheltenham district of this county, it last August, on which occasion it was alleged in the declaration that 300 freehold votes, of the value of is. each, were fraudulently manufactured during the progress of the election, and recorded for the defendant, who, how ever, by his pleas, denied the truth, of this allegation. The private arrangement of this cause will, it is thought, enable their Lordships to bring the assizes to a close about Thursday. It is considered quite I certain that the calendar will be disposed of by that time. The number of cases in it does not exceed the average, and is 63. Of these, lis charged with mur der, 2 with manslaughter, 6 with rap, 2 with assault with intent to commit rape, 1 with bigamy, 7 with robbery, 8 with burglary, 3 with forgery, 1 with poaching, 1 with arson, 2 with forcible entry, 1 with uttering counterfeit coin, and the,iest are common larcenies. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Jusice ERLE and a Common Jury.) PAGE V. COSTINS. Mr. Sergeant Allen and Mr. GrN for the plaintiff, and Mr. Cooke for the defendant, This was an action for adultery with the plaintiff's wife ; plea, not guilty. Henry Watkins—l live in Cheltelham. Was for merly a fly proprietor ; now in no )usiness, I have known plaintiff for fifty years ; he vas a brickmaker, but has left off business. His former wife died some years ago. His present wife was servant in his family some years before his first wife's derth, and continued so after her death. The plaintiff r uffled her about three years after the death of the first wife. I was present at the marriage, which tookplace at Dedding ton church, in Oxfordshire. I hav3 been in the habit of visiting them since. Have lived in the same town, about a mile from them. They I,ved happy, so far as keeping a very good h ouse, an d having everything in it. They lived, from the time of their marriage, in a cottage in Clare-street, on the Bath-road, till December, when they remo v ed to Francis-street. Cross-examined—l am a gentleman. The plaintiff is about 73. She is about 22. Never heard before the marriage that they cohabited. Have seen marks of violence on her arms. Did he not knock out his first wife's eye ? His LORDSHIP—What is the object of this in quiry ? May it not be possible that, though un kind to the first wife, he may be very kind to the second ? Mr. CooKE--That may bo possible; but the object of this inquiry is to ascertain what is the plaintiff's notion of domestic happiness.—(A. laugh.) Witness (in continuation)—Page told me that he and his wife spent a day happily together a fortnight ago. He told me she called one day, but not that she stopped there. He first denied she had been there at all, but afterwards admitted she had called. I kept putting it at him, and then he told me. Re-examined—Never heard of any scandal respect ing the plaintiff and his wife before the marriage. The mark on her arm was three or four years ago. Never saw any ill-usage on his part; they always seemed, so far as I saw, very happy and comfortable. If he did anything, it was not in my presence. Henry Dinham—l am brother to Mrs. Page. I have lived as servant to Mr. Page for four years. Remember being with him last harvest in a wheat field that is near defendant's brickyard- Had seen Costins at plaintiff's house frequently before that. Mr. Page sent me to Mr. Hollis's for powder and flint. I called at plaintiff's house as I came back. Mr. Page told me to call and have my dinner, and I called. As I passed the window I saw Mr. Costins kissing Mrs. Page in the kitchen, standing up with his arm round her neck. I went to the bre whouse window, and I saw them go into the parlour. I went back to the parlour door and kneeled on the mat and looked through the keyhole, and I saw my sister and Costins there. (The other details are unfit for publication.) They got up in about fis'e minutes, and I went to the kitchen fire and sat down, and he came out and said to me, " I have been to the parlour to see the shells." I said " I suppose you have," and she catched me up and said, " Yes, we have. I had my dinner and re turned to the wheat field, and said nothing to Mr. Page. I remember, some days afterwards, being sent home again, and seeing her and him again in the kitchen on a big easy chair. MS LORDSHIP here interposed, and suggested that it was not necessary to go into further details; for if the witness was to be believed as to one transaction it would be sufficient. To this the plaintiff's counsel acceded. Witness (in continuation) —I first told Mr. Page about it after she left. Cross-examined—She left five or six months ag o . I have seen her at Mr. Page's within the last Sunday or so, in the kitchen. Another girl (Marianne Barber) fetched her to the house. I did not hear Mr. Page desire Marianne to fetch her. I did not see her in the parlour that Sunday. I was n o t there that Sunday. She was gone before I Mlle back the next morning. I saw her in the house about half-past five o'clock the next morning. I slept that night with ,Mr. Page, and she did not. She was there on the Sunday evening. I meant that I was not at home during the day on that Sunday. She came the next Sunday. Mr. Page went for her to Mr. Redcot's house. She was in the kitchen. There was a tablecloth on the table. Sh e slept there that night in the arm-chair in the kitchen. Mr. Page went to her. I have not heard from Mr. Page lately that she was walking with him in the Bath-road. I know Mr. Giles, a baker, who lives in the Bath-road. When she left that Monday morning Mr. Page went with her to the gate. He has continued to be very kind to me since my sister left. I never told Giles that I had not seen Costins kiss Mrs. Page. COUNSEL—Did - you tell Mr. Chesshyre, the lawyer, in the presence of Giles, that you had seen Costins kiss Mrs. Page ? Witness—No, I did not. I was asked whether I had seen him kiss her, and I said I Wald not tell anything about it. When I SAW them from the keyhole in the parlour they were on the floor near the fireplace. I do not know when this happened—whether last year, or the year before, or what year. Ido not know how many harvests ago this happened. Two, I think. It was before the wheat was cut. The second transaction occurred about two or three days after the first. lam now 14. Mrs. Page did not seem angry when she left. My sister threat ene d t o b eat my brains out if ever I told any one about it. This was the next day after I had seen them. She knew I had seen it. I was in the kitchen, and she came and said she would beat my brains out. I had not been talking to her about it. Have seen her with a black eye. Never saw them fighting. Re-examined--They could not see me pass the kitchen window. It was after the second time that she threatened to beat my brains out. When Mr. Ches shyre, the lawyer, spoke to me I said "No" twice, meaning I would not tell them anything about it. Marianne Barber—l am employed as an occasional servant by Mr. Page. I remember Mrs. Page coming to his house one Sunday evening about nine o'clock, about a month ago. She knocked. I opened the door and asked her in. She saw Mr. Page. He did not ask her in. He was not in at the time. He was down in the garden, and came in and said to her, as she was standing at the door, " What do you want here ?" She answered that she came on busi- ness. He replied, " I suppose you are come to tor ment me." She then came into the kitchen with me and sat down. She had been there in the afternoon before this. The first time she came to the door was about half-past one. She saw Mr. Page then, and came into the parlour, and sat down. Mr. Costins Came in half an hour afterwards, and asked if Mrs. Page was come there. I answered the door, and Mrs. Page said, " Please to come in, Mr. Costins." Mr. Page got up and told him to go out. Mr. Costins then said, if he did not see her there, he would see her somewhere else, and went away. She stopped about an hour the first time, and went away. She came; as far as I know, of her own accord. About a month ago she came the first time—about three weeks the second time. She stayed all night, one way or other, talk ing. When I asked her to come in, she would not unless she was asked in by the master. When he came up and asked what she wanted, she said she came to catch her brother unawares, as he was put out of the way before. As she was in the kitchen, the boy came in and she got up and boxed him. The plaintiff interfered, and told her to get out if she was going to kick up a row. She asked leave to sleep in the chair all night, and Mr. Page said he did not know, but afterwards said she might if she behaved herself. It as then about twelve o'clock at night, and she said if he was in dread he might fetch a policeman. She said she would go about half-past five. The boy slept that night with Page. There was another bed, but it was not Blade up, and she slept in the chair. She was to be at the railway station, two miles off, at six. _ _ _ Cross:examined—l did not offer her part of my bed. I did not sleep in the house. I left at one o'clock. I left her in the chair, and Mr. Page there with her. She was then dozing. Mr. Page and I were awake. She was:in the kitchen when I came away. The boy was gone to bed. The first time she came sho said she came for her best clothes and shawls, and he said she should not have them. She said she came from London to see her lawyer, Mr. Packwood. She called him a jealous old fool, and said there was nothing between Costins and her, and said her brother was a little liar. Costins came in and said "Is Mrs. Page here ? " I said " Yes." He said, " I want to see her." She ca ll e d an d as k ed him in. When he came in, he said, "I want to know what this is which you have got to say against me ? " Mr. Page inter fered and ordered him out of the house. Mr. Costins has a wife, and a number of grown-up children. It was since Christmas she went away. She had a black eye before she went away. Was present often when he beat her. Did not see him beat her with the bell-rope. She used often to be backwards and forwards for two or three years before she went away. _ _ _ Re-examined—When she said she was come from London, she said she was going back the same night. When she boxed her brother, he said he told nothing but the truth. Before Mr, Page beat her she had thrown things at him—tea-things. She once threw a kettle of boiling water at him. On the occasions that he hit her she first threw things at him. Samuel Harris—Lived near Page when he lived at Clare-gardens. Costins lived then a quarter of a mile off. I lived opposite the entrance to Page's house. Last summer I saw Costins go frequently to Page's. The plaintiff's house had walls six feet high around it. I used to see Mr. Page leave his home at a particular time of the day. I used to see Costins standing out in the Bath-road, and going into Page's after he had left. That was frequently the case. I used to wonder what he wanted there. Mrs. Page used to come out and look about, and go back again. Cross examined—Could see only the roof and part of the walls from my shop. I could see the house from my front door. I could see his door from my front door. I saw this last June, July, August, Sep tember, and up to November. Costins works at a brick-yard which belongs to Mr. Page. Sarah Barber—l have worked once a fortnight for Mr. and Mrs. Page ever since their marriage. They lived happy and comfortable for the first few years after their marriage. For the last three years they have looked cold on each other. When I have been there I have seen Mr. Costins there. He used to ask was Mr. Page within, and if he was not, then he would ask if she was .1. Sometimes he used to come in —sometimes not. They removed to Francis-street in December. Was at work there on the 3d January. Costins came—Page was not at home. Mrs. Page went to the door. He came in—into the kitchen. She went with him. They shut the door. I was in the brewhouse, washing. I could not see into the kitchen from the brewhouse. They remained to gether three-quarters of an hour. I went into the kitchen. Mr. Costins was standing by the fire-place, and Mrs. Page was sitting by the window. I asked " Are there any more towels to wash ?" He said, " Are you to see what we be at ?" I said, "No, Mr. Costins," and turned to Mrs. Page, and asked, " are there any more towels to wash ?" Heard him accused of stopping out too long, and leaving the house with out any one. Henry Rosser was employed at the theatre at Cheltenham from December to March. Costins was a check-taker, and he passed Mrs. Page in once or twice without paying, saying she was a friend of his. Saw them in the gallery, but not together. Saw them together one night after the play was over, walking up Montpelier-street, side by side. Cross-examined—That was his way home. I do not know whether it was her way. Costins' daughters are grown-up young women, and they and his wife were frequently passed in. Mr. COOKE, in addressing the jury, said if this case involved merely a question of damages, he could not suppose that the jury would, after the evidence they had heard, give the plaintiff more than one farthing out of the sum of 1001. at which he estimated in the declaration the loss of the society of his wife. Were he disposed to dwell on the disparity of years of the plaintiff and his wife, he might quote the answer of the young lady to the wooing of another old gentleman of the same age as the plaintiff— "lf from Page' you take the letter P,' Why that makes ' age,' and it won't do for me." But he did not go on any such ground. He was in structed to deny most emphatically the truth of this most disgraceful charge against Mr. Costins and Mrs. Page, and he trusted that the jury would scout it with scorn. The Learned Gentleman then pro ceeded to comment on the evidence, and to contend that noneofit, except that given by the boy, was at all calculated to attach the slightest suspicion to the con duct of the defendant or Mrs. Page, and that the evidence of the boy was unworthy of credit. The plaintiff had so ill-treated his wife that she could no longer live with him. She had gone to London to endeavour to live without him. There was no pretence that Costins sent her, or encouraged her to go there; and when the de fendant found she was determined to live apart from him then he bethought himself of this action, not with a view to damages or a divorce, but to annoy a re spectable neighbour, disgrace his unhappy wife, and to prevent her from ever claiming any allowance from him. His Lounsnir summed up; and The jury, after a few minutes' consideration, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 101. CROWN COURT.—(Before Baron MARTIN.) Emanuel Hill, 27, was indicted for having, at Bledington, on 26th June, maliciously maimed and wounded a gelding, the property of Captain Jodrell Leigh, lt.N. Mr. Cripps prosecuted and Mr. Powell defended the prisoner. The prisoner was a horse-breaker, and was em ployed by the prosecutor to break in the gelding in question, which was described as a quiet, good tempered two-year old, and valued at 1201. In pass ing a mill on the road the horse became restive, and, after rearing for several times, fell sideways into a ditch. The prisoner, however, retained his seat, and got out of the ditch, but the horse remained restive, and as he could not control it to his pleasure, be, after several lashes with the whip, struck it twice on the head with th butt•end, which heid on it 16 beery icon 851. [PRICE SD. handle. After the second blow the horse seemed stupified, and blood was observed to flow from the eye, upon which the prisoner dismonnted, and ex claimed that he had cut the horse's eye out, and he would rather have given fifty pounds than it should have happened. On examination it was found that the ball of the eye was broken. The witnesses also said that he requested them to say they had seen the horse fall into the ditch, and that the accident happened there from a thorn ' • but on cross-exami nation they admitted they had the next morning told a policeman the prisoner was not at all to blame, and had not made a different statement, until Captain Leigh had told them he would give 10/. to know the truth of the matter. Neither of the witnesses called had seen the horse until it was got out of the ditch, and the defence suggested by the cross-exami nation was that which the prisoner had stated to his master, namely, that the accident did happen from a thorn in the ditch, and that he did not discover it until he struck the animal on the bead in the manner mentioned. At the close of the prosecutor's case, Mr. Baron MARTIN said that if the case for the prosecution were unanswered, it appeared to him that the evidence would not sustain an indictment for ma liciously wounding the horse, and that he thought the injury was rather an accident, occasioned by the pri soner's striking the horse with the butt of the whip handle when in a passion, than from any design on his part to do it an injury. His Lordship, therefore, directed an acquittal. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARY LEBOIVE. Denis Hayes, an Irish labourer, was re-examined on the charge o f h av i ng brutally attacked, and seriously injured, two police-constables, and who, in consequence of the violence exercised towards them, were for many days pronounced to be incapable of doing duty. It appeared from the evidence, which was gone into at some length, that on Monday afternoon, the 4th inst., there was a great riot in Conduit -street East, Paddington, and that on Harewood, 160, and Trevethan, 444 D, going to the spot, they saw the prisoner and another man engaged in a most desperate fight, surrounded by many of their fellow-workmen. They (the officers) interfered in order to put an end to the disturbance, when, after being kn oc k e d d own in the road, they were kicked down an area fifteen or sixteen feet deep, and before they could get up pri soner jumped into the said area, and kicked and beat both of them with all his might. They were injured upon the body and other parts of their persons to a considerable extent, but they at length succeeded in securing the prisoner, whom they ultimately con veyed to the station-house. The prisoner's answer to the charge was that he had a row with a brother workman, and that seeing some constables coming he leaped into the area, thinking that he should thereby avoid getting into trouble ; they, however, jumped down after him and took him in charge. He denied most positively the serious outrage imputed to him. The MAGISTRATE sent him to hard labour in the House of Correction for two months, being one month each for the two assaults proved against him. He was then locked up. WORSHIP-STREET. Daniel Nahan, a middle-aged man, described as a hawker, was placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncourt, upon the twofold charge of indecently assaulting a respectable married woman named Jane Hawkins, and also with dangerously cutting and wounding her husband, who interfered for her protection. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor and his wife had spent the evening at the house of some friends, and 'were returning home at eleven o'clock on the preceding night, when, upon reaching Cambridge-road, Mile-end, the female complainant, who was a few steps in advance of her husband, sud den ly encountered the prisoner, who, without utter ing a word, sprang upon her, assailed her with the grossest indecency, and grasped her with such violence as to completely swing her round. Her screams at tracted the notice of the prosecutor, who saw his wife struggling in the arms of the prisoner, from whom she at last succeeded in " wrenching" herself, as the woman described it, and her husband, on finding that she had not been personally injured, contented himself with giving the prisoner a smart slap on the face and or dering him to go about his business. The prisoner still did not say anything, but after moving a pace or two thrust his hand into his pocket, and, drawing out some sharp-pointed instrument, rushed upon the pro secutor and dealt him three stabs in rapid succession with all his force. The first stab was aimed at the man's face, but the prosecutor caught sight of the action, and, drawing his head on one side, received it upon the upper part of the cheek, close to the temple, the instrument penetrating as deep as the bone would allow it, and the prisoner, on finding that that blow had not taken the intended effect, immediately dealt him a second and third beneath the left ear. The blood poured from the wounds in great profusion, but he grappled the prisoner with great determination, and after a violent struggle between them succeeded in depriving him of the weapon, which turned out to be a large bradawl, with a sharp-pointed blade four inches in length, and a constable coming up at the moment, the prisoner was secured and taken to the station. The above statement was fully established by the evidence of several witnesses, who described both attacks as gross and malicious in the extreme, and the prosecutor exhibited the wounds to the bench, which were of such a description as to render it somewhat surprising that they had not been attended with far more serious results. When called upon for his defence, the prisoner, in a whining tone, accounted fur his possession of the instrument by saying that he used it to perforate medals he sold in his trade, and stoutly denied every allegation that had been made against him ; but Mr. D'EYNCOURT considered the charge conclu sively established, and ordered him to be committed for the formal completion of the depositions. A powerful fellow, named Richard Ransome, was then charged with f e loni ous ly cutting and w wounding a young woman nam e d J o hanna Driscoll, with intent to do her grievous bodily harm. In this case it appeared that on the preceding night the prisoner en t ere d i n t o conversation with an unfor tunate outcast in the street, named Margaret Neale, and propo se d t o acco mpany her to her lodgings and make heir a handsome present out of two sovereigns he said he had in his possession. After remaining some time in her company, he attempted to leave without performing his promise, and on her en treating him to do so, he struck her a violent blow in the face, and commenced such a brutal attack upon her that the woman scream e d l ou dl y for assistance, upon which the prosecutrix hastened upstairs, and upon entering th e apar t ment, found Neale engaged in a struggle with the prisoner, who was grasping her so firmly by the th roa t t h a t s h e appeared upon the point of strangul a ti on . O n see i ng the prosecutrix enter the prisoner relinquished his hold, and turning fiercely round upon her dealt her a heavy blow upon the temple, which partially stunned her. Before she had time to recover herself the pri soner pulled a large clasp-knife out of his pocket, and, dashing the candle out of her hand, made a stab at her face with the weapon, and in warding off the blow with her arm, the blade descended with such force upon her hand as to inflict a frightful gash se veral inches in length, severing some of the tendons and extending down to the wrist. The prisoner then rushed out of the house, but was pursued by a con stable who had been attracted by the screams of the women, and transferred to th e s tation, while the in- j ured woman was conveyed to the hospital, where her wounds were dressed by the house-surgeon. When called upon for his defence, the prisoner in general terms asserted his innocence, and denied I having a knife in his possession. Mr. D'ETNCOURT, however, considered the case had been completely mado out, and the prisoner was or dered to be committed for the depositions. SOUTHWARK. Henry Scully was brought before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with being concerned with another, not in custody, in stealing a gold guard chain, a silver one, a silver watch, a gold ring, a b rooc h, and 3 1 . s °: in silver, the property of Thomas K n ight, an omni bus driver, under the following singular circu ms tances . 7 Emily Knight, th e w if e o f th e prosecuto r, stated that she resided in St. George's-place, Martin-street, a very low nei g hb our h oo d near the Borough-road, and she knew the prisoner by his associating with some loose women in Martin-street. On Saturday night, a little , after nine o'clock, she saw h herproperty safely lock e d u p i n a box in her room. Half an hour afterwards she ran out without her bonnet to pur chase some things at a gr ocer's, and on the was stopped by the prisoner,. who begged hard for her way she to accompany him t o a pubhclouse. This she stoutly refused, and he left her and proceeded towards her house, while she went and completed her purchases. On her return she found that her room had been en tered, and that her box had been forced open and robbed of the contents mentioned in the charge. She immediately suspected the prisoner, and having informed a constable of the circumstance, he was taken into custody about four hours afterwards. She had every reason to believe that while he was detain ing her one of his companions committed the r o bbery, and TO ery, and hAndo Part of the Koceeis to him, As some ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.— Croydon, August 12. (Before Lord Chief Justice JERVIS and a Special Jury.) HITCH V. THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to re cover damages through injuries he had sustained through the alleged negligence of the defendants. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., Mr. James, Q.C., and Mr. Lush were for the plaintiff; Sergeant Channel], Mr. Bramwell, QC., and Mr. Buvill were counsel for the company; Mr. Willis watched the case on behalf of the South-Eastern Railway Company, whose interests were involved in this inquiry. The circumstances under which the action was brought were of rather a peculiar character, inasmuch as the plaintiff appeared to have sustained the injuries for which he sought compensation while he was tra velling by one of the South-Eastern trains ; and not by any direct act of the defendants. It appeared that the accident occurred on the 14th of March, and the evidence went to show that what is called a " pick-up train" had started from London between the ordinary quarter past seven o'clock Croydon train and the Dover and Hastings train, which started from London at half-past seven. The Croydon train passed New Cross, the scene of the accident, with safety, and upon the arrival of the " pick up" it stopped for the pur pose of having some carriages attached to it, and to effect this it was necessary that it should be " shunted" off the main line to a siding. At this pe riod it was admitted that the Dover train was known to be nearly due, but it appeared that before the tail carriages of the " pick-up" train were got off the main line the expected train came up and ran into them, causing thereby a violent concussion and serious in jury to the plaintiff. The case of the plaintiff was that the train of the South-Eastern Company had started in due course, that they were entitled to travel freely upon the line, and that the accident had been occasioned by the negligence of the servants of the defendants in not having the line cleared, and permit ting the obstruction to be upon it, which was the oc casion of the accident. Sergeant CHANNELL made an able address to the jury on behalf of the defendants, and the defence he attempted to establish was, that the accident had been occasioned by the negligence of the guards and drivers of the South-Eastern train, and their inatten tion to signals that were made to them to stop before the accident occurred. Several servants of the Brighton Company were called as witnesses, but their evidence was very far from making out the case as suggested by the Learned Sergeant; for although it appeared that two green flags had been exhibited as signals, it was admitted that they only indicated caution to the coming train, and that the red flag, which was an in dication of danger, was not shown at all ; and one of the witnesses admitted that he was not even aware that the " pick-up" train was to be " shunted" in the way described, and that if he had, he should certainly have exhibited the " danger" signal. It was like wise elicited i❑ the course of cross-examination that a clock at the station which regulated the movements of a large number of trains was four minutes too slow, and the switchman said, in answer to questions put to him by Mr. Chambers, that the clock was in his charge, and that he wound it up, but he at the same time stated that he had no correct means of knowing whether it kept good time or not; it being at the same time proved in evidence that the process of " shunting" occupied from seven to ten minutes ; that a great number of trains were continually pass ing ; and that every minute was occasionally of the utmost importance as regarded the safety of the public travelling upon the railway. Mr. 6IAI\IBERS, in a bi:ief reply, urged that the evidence which had been adduced tor the defendants really tended to strengthen the case for the plaintiff. It was no part of his case to enter into any supposed opposition between the Dover and the Brighton Rail way Companies; but he could not help observing that there was some ground for supposing that this unfor tunate accident bad arisen in consequence of an at tempt to obstruct the passage of the train of the Dover Company to Hastings, that route being in opposition to the Brighton Railway Company, and he submitted that, at all events, the accident was clearly proved to have been caused by the want of proper signals and the false clock. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up the case with his usual care and clearness. He said that before the jury could return a verdict against the defendants they must be satisfied that the acaident had arisen solely through the negligence of their servants ; and if they considered that an equal portion of blame at tached to the servants of the South-Eastern Com pany, in that case the defendants were entitled to a verdict. His Lordship then called the attention of the jury to the facts of the case, and said that he could not help expressing his strong disapprobation at the manner in which the clock, upon the accuracy of which the lives of so many people necessarily de pended, was taken charge of, and that it should not give the time correctly, when almost every minute was of importance in performing the necessary operations at the station. The jury after deliberating for about a quarter of an hour returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1,5001. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Bridgewater, Aug. 11. (Before Lord CAMPBELL.) William Sibley was indicted for the manslaughter of Philip Hooyer by striking him on the head with a stick and giving him several mortal wounds, of which he died. Mr. Allen conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Edwards defended the prisoner. It appeared that on the 29th of May the deceased and the prisoner and a number of other persons were assembled at the Beambridge Inn to hold a club meeting. They then left for the purpose of proceed ing to their homes. As soon as they were out of the door the deceased commenced a row with a man named Drew. Some of the other men joined in it. They armed themselves with sticks. During the row the prisoner Sibley struck th e d ecease d a bl ow on the head with a stick. This blow f e ll e d hi m t o the ground, and the prisoner continued to beat him when he was down. Some of the men interfered and took the deceased into the inn, where in a f ew mi nutes be expired. The prisoner was at once secured and a surgeon was sent for. It was admitted that the deceased was of a very quarrelsome di s p os iti on , intoxicated. The that many of the men were The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and h e was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment, with hard labour. William Boucher was indicted for shooti ng a t J o h n Birley with a loaded pistol, with intent to maim him, at Bath, on the 30th of July. Mr. Lloyd and Mr. W. T. Saunders were counsel for the prosecution; and Mr. Stone and Mr. Allen defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was a confidential clerk and cashier in the employ of Mr. Tucker, a linendraper at Bath, and Birley was in the service of Messrs. Jones and Bensley, also linendrapers, and both these parties had back premises looking out on Parsonage-lane. It would seem there had been a good deal of " larking" going on between the young men of both these establishments, and they had been in the habit of throwing water over each other as they passed along the lane. On Friday, the 25th of July, this sport had been going on, and th e p r i soner b e i ng of a sporting turn of mind, kept pistols, and powder and shot and caps, and he thought by firing off a pistol he should put an end to this kind of thing, and he did not consider that by putting a few shot into the pistol he should do any one any harm ; and at about half-past eleven o'clock that night the prisoner fired the pistol from the window of the room in which he slept, and a shot struck Birley on the head. It was not suggested that the prisoner had any felonious intent. Lord CAMPBELL said that there was every reason to believe that the pistol was fired merely to frighten, and the offence amounted merely to an assault. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of a common assault. Lord CAMPBELL said firearms were not to be played with, and therefore the prisoner must be imprisoned for one month. John Jenkins , a decent-looking boy, was indicted for cutti ng and wounding James rimier, with in tent, &c. Mr. Hodges prosecuted, Mr. Stone defended. It appeared that Hawler was a labourer residing at Nempnett. On the 11th of April he was in the belfry. The prisoner came in and kept poking Homier with a stick. Hawler told him to be quiet, but as he did not de sist he made towards the prisoner, who then ran away. After that there was a funeral, and two little children wore looking in the grave upon the coffin, and the prisoner threw stones at them. Hawler told him to he quiet, and then the prisoner threw a stone at him. Hawler followed him, and struck him on the back with his hat. The prisoner then put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a knife and opened it, and said, " If you don't mind what you are about I'll put this knife into you." Homier said, " Young man, you had better put that knife in your pocket again," and put out his left arm to catch him to make him put the knife in his pocket, and the prisoner dug the knife into Lis hand and pulled it across it. Hawler could not do anything for Hveu weeks, and cann9t use his FOUR-OARED CUTTER RACE. A cutter race between two fours, manned by very re spectable master tradesmen, came off yesterday evening, and was very well attended by aquatic men anxious to witness tho race. The distance was from the Feathers, at Wandsworth, down to Mr. Wentzell's, the Ship, Lam beth, and the prizes four silver oars and rudder, pre sented by Mr. Morton, of the Canterbury Arms, Upper Marsh, Lambeth, as an encouragement to cutter rowing.

The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday, at Gray's-iun Coffee home, Holborn, Sir B. Ffoulkes, Bart., in the chair. Mr. WING, the secretary, read the report. It stated that the works were progressing most favourably. The contractors had been paid since the last meeting the sum of 36,6361., and the loan of Messrs. Heywood and Co. had been reduced by 5,0001. This must be considered very satisfactory, when only one call had been made during that ;period. The amount received from the commencement of the undertaking was 127,619/. 15s. 4d., and the disbursements 119,1271. Os. 61, leaving a ba lance in favour of the company of 8,4921. 14s. 10d. The engineer's report stated that since the last meet ing the works for making the two new cuts or channels for the diversion of the River Ouse had been continued by the contractors, Messrs. Peto and Betts, as fast as circumstances would permit, and up to the present time 1,400,000 cubic yards of earth had been removed from the upper cut nearest to Lynn, a very large portion which had been excavated to the depth of one foot below the zero mark, or within 11 feet of the intended " b derable and the remainder was proceeding with e 9Tviould be activity, so that there was in no whichdouht t tr l o a n t ily contract.

It was shown that they had received letters from Lord Grey, the King of Holland, and other distinguished persoasges. The tribunal, after hearing all the evidence, decided that the accused had made use of false names, and had been guilty of swindling. It ac cordingly condemned them to a year's imprisonment and 200 f. fine. On hearing the sentence the woman uttered a piercing shriek and fainted in her husband's arms. He, with apparently great affection, paid her every attention, and zhe soon recovered. They were then removed to prison. Throughout Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, the ' scythe and sickle are now busily engaged in cutting down the wheat crops. The late fine weather brought them to perfection somewhat earlier than was expected, and up to last Saturday night a very large breadth of wheat had been cut. Comparatively speaking, but little of this fell before the edge of the sickle, the scythe being now more generally used than ever. Our accounts agree in stating that the wheat crops of these counties rather exceed the ordinary yield; at all events, it is certain there will be a full average. 1 —,lp6wich ,E.Trcie, `-- \T --. ..:s:.. irrit. 30s 26s 00s 00s 00s 001 The past stone oats ; 11 and entrain Dre 0 ,28,8 Libra% mited w ere 7e gala )-dar ming dig."'" ills , 3ev* pair 1
