_ tt4ll FRANCE. The Republique has the following on the division on the Questors' Bill : " To us it is evident, after this discussion, that the leaders of the old majority and the Minister of War were equally anxious for a conflict. The Left gave warning of what was going on, and maintained the public peace, in spite of both of them. We think that it acted wisely in doing so. In fact, the representative Government has not lost any right or prerogative, and the military command has not received any ex tension. The Minister of War, it is true, contested the rights of the Assembly, whereas his pre decessors had admitted the right of direct requisi tion. But M. Changarnier, when commander-in chief cf the army of Paris, had also slighted them, not indeed by a declaration in the tribune, but by a re fusal to obey, not by words, but by an act. Can any one imagine that after the decree of 1849 . whic h was a ridi cul,ais compromise between M. 0. Barrot and the bureau of the Constituent Assembly, the dignity of the Parlia ment received a far severer blow than it did yesterday? Bat then M. Thiers and his friends were with MM. Changarnier and Bonaparte against the Assembly. The Elysean faction has certainly obtained an advantage over the seventeen : it has obtained a vote which may , break up the old majority, and which will cause it per haps to support projects of usurpation. But when the mo ment comes to execute them, the Elyseans will meet with the votes of the Left, as the seventeen met with them yesterday. The Left has made no engagement to any one or anything—but the Republic. May it iu the diffi cult trials, which still remain for it to pass through, preserve its unity ! In questions of principle, it natu rally remains united by the convictions of each; but in questions of condu ct, union i s more difficult without being less necessary . The Left, i f united, will always obiige it s a dversaries to reckon with it, and with the democratic party; the Left, if divided, and neutralizing itself, would disappear from the scene on which the future fate of France, and perhaps of Europe, is being played." The Legitimatist Electoral Committee of the de partment of the Seine has published a notice, which declares that, looking at the honourable character of Devinck, formerly President of the Tribunal of Commerce of Paris, and after having heard the ex planations, so marked by patriotism and devotedness to the cause of society which he has given; looking also at the influential position which he occupies from the large fortune which he has acquired by his in dustry, it recommends to all the friends of order to support that gentleman as candidate at the coming election in Paris. The Minister of Justice has just addressed a cir cular to all the Procureurs-General and the Procu reurs of the Republic, recommending to their atten tion the vigorouse xecution of the laws, and giving them special instructions relative to secret societies. The Court of Cassation last evening rejected the appeal sent in from the persons cond emned for having taken part in the Lyons plot. The Siecle says : "It would seem that yesterday morning the Elyse e had its supporters under arms. It was said that its most devoted friends had been convoked, and that a grand council held on the measures which it would be ad visable to take in case the proposition of the questors should, contrary to all expectation, be voted by the Assembly. The resolution adopted after a mature de liberation is said to be this: to address a proclamation to the French people, declaring that the Assembly was the only cause of the present embarrassment, and that the proposition was au insult to the elected of six mil lions of votes. It was also rumoured that it was a jour nalist, well known to the party of order, who had acted as secretary. Lie proclamation once sent forth, it was then to be seen what was next to be done." SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 13th have arrived. Their contents are unimportant. MADRID BoLsa, Nov. 13.—The Three per Cents. were done at 3G for time ; the Four per Cents. at ; the Five per Cents. at 16i ; the Debt without Interest at 6; and the Coupons at 8-i. GERMAN Y. The Germanic Diet, in its last sitting, rejected a proposition for admitting the Duchy of Anholt licelaen as an independent member of the Confe- deration. A letter from Frankfort of the 15th states that the Germanic Diet has referred the protests of the equestrian order of Hanover against the recently adopted organic laws, to the Hanoverian Government, with orders to reply to them without delay. The Cologne Gazette states that the negotiations, which have been for some time in progress for the abdication of the Elector of Hesse Cassel in favour of his son, have failed, in consequence of financial difficulties. A letter from BerHo, of the 13th, states that the Government will not present to the Chambers a Bill for modifying the electoral law, but that certain Members of the Conservative party intended to do so. LEVANT MAIL. We have received by the Levant Mail Constanti nop!e journals' to the 41), and Athens papers to the ith, both inclusive. We learn by the former that Ismail Richa, ex-Minister of Commerce and Agri culture, has been appointed Director of the Medical School of Galata-Serail, in the room of 'Liver Effendi. The Journal de Constantinople says :—" A difference has lately arisen between the Governor-General of Adri inople and the Greek Consul in that city, con cerning two Turkish girls, who bad been taken from their family. We are convinced that by the witd.am of the Porte and of the representative of Greece at Constantinople, this difference will not have any serious consequences, and that the good understanding between the Governments will not be disturtei." We find the following in the Journal de Constan tinople, of the 4th :—" We announced, a few months since, that the President of the French Republic had sent to the Sultan a magnificent service of Sevres porcelain. His Highness is now about to send in his turn to Louis Napoleon, six thorough bred Arab horses, with two housings of the richest kind ; the one is red, embroidered in silver, and ornamented with diamonds and turquoises ; the other is blue, embroidered in gold, and ornamented with diamonds and rubies. They are estimated at 150,000 piastres (about 40,000 f.) each. The bits and the stirrups are in gold. The horses were delivered, some da3s since, at the French Embassy, and will be soon shipped for France." ITALIAN OPERA, PARIS. MDLLE. CRUVELLI. One of the great privileges of true genius is its ex traordinary power of creating fresh interest, and revealing new points of beauty and colouring in things with which we have been long familiar. Tbus, in Bellini's Norma, one of the most popular operas of modern times, every phrase of which the musical public have known and admired for a series of years,. a young ar ti s t e su dd en l y comes forward, and, though following almost count less vocalists, all of high celebrity in the part, by im* Lid and original conception, intensity of feeling, and powers of voice and dra matic expression, at once annihilates all our recol lections of the past, and gives us another and a new reading of the character, more tender, more impas sioned, and more deeply tragic than we bad ever witnessed, or even conceived before. The public came prepared to admire; for the impression Mdlle. Cruvelli bad produced last season during her brief Stay in Paris, in Verdi's Ernani, was not a thing to be easily effaced—still her personation of Norma took them by surprise; they were not prepared for the sPl" , did display of power, both vocal and dramatic, which their delight burst upon them, and in her . very first scene broke out . into plaudits which seemed almost without b and,. surely, never was this lovely O p en i ng sc ' e u n tlas ! profound feeling.p _e l rven with so much poetry and priestess—b u t appearance b was indeed . that of the inspired vo u w t s it was the priestess who had forgotten her holy paying the penalty of her erica' aenbdy who was already , the pangs of re morse, jealousy, and betrayed affection. Mdlle Cru velli, on her entrance, presented a perfect picture rof the unhappy Ariadne, described by C atullus --deserta in littore quondura'— Gnossia Theex flevit perjuria lingou3." The adagio was g iven sotto voce, and it was not un til the passage in which she implore s fo r peace that sh e ventures to raise her eyes to the Deity, whose a lt ars 311 e has profaned. All this was as beautiful a s i t was original, and was mor,, ~ than once interrupted by murmurs of delight. The cabeletta, which anticipates a return of her lover's affection, was ex quisitely rendered ; h e r e s he put forth some of the secrets of her gre a t voca l p o wer. In a cadence on the word :ereno, she descended from Re above the lines to F a b e l ow , b r i ng i ng out th e l o west note with extraordinary force and firmness, containing at ex tent of th ree octaves minus two notes! This feat was accomplished with an effortless an ~, ease, which seemed to banish e very idea of vocal difficulty. The applauses and bouquets which followed brought the performance to a stand still for some minutes. In the grand trio which concludes the first act, in which the perfidy of Pollione is fully disclosed, her concen tra`ed rage and jealously was only to be compared to one of the magnificent burts of Rachel in Phedre or Horace. ILer Trema per to felon, Pei figli tuoi—per'me'" was given with the scorn and hatred of an avenging spirit. The delicious duo " Deh ! con tel !" with g2ven with soul touching •touchi Adalgisa was pathos and beauty ; and here Mdlle. Corbari most justly divided the applause with the new Diva. In th e concluding , ‘ l•4lPres Mdlle.

Cruvelli as an actress. The reiterated plaudits which followed th e conclusion of the opera, and the overwhelming recall of the etoile de la soirée, set the final seal to her triumph. Mdlle. Corbari delighted the audience by her admirable singing of Adalgisa, which was perfect throughout. Susini's noble organ and commanding figure well befit the Druid priest ; but, in the name of offended taste, why does he wear such an execrable costume ? The i nne r part of his habiliment looks like an anti cipation of the Bloomer costume, now making so muc h noise ; his beard, too, is a most unartistic ap to his countenance. These negligences pendage se riously injure the effect, not only of his appearance, but of his general performance. The thoroughly dis a greeable character of Pollione fell to the lot of Par dini, who got through the part respectably. It were unjust to omit that the choruses were splendidly given, and that the orchestra went through its duties in a style reflecting honour on its new director. The house was crowded to excess by one of those elegant and fashionable assemblages only to be found at the Italiens, the foyer fairly presenting a congress of the elite of all nations. The season may now be set down as really begun.— Galignani. A FEMALE FIEND. The Court of Assizes of Paris tried on Saturday a married woman named Pichon, for having, by ill treatment, caused the death of her daughter Augus tine, aged ten years. Before her marriage the woman had two children, one of whom was Augustine. She then lived at Havre, but some time after she removed with her husband to La Chapelle St. Denis. At that time Augustine was quite healthy and strong. But shortly after the arrival at La Chapelle, she began to waste away, owing to her mother. deprivin . g her of sufficient food, and treating her with horrib seve it appeared, passed on le which rity. Scarcely a day, the woman did not bea t and kick her in the most brutal way ; sometimes, too, she pinched her with the tongs, at others threw a clothes iron at her. She allowed her nothing to eat except the crusts left by her brother and sister ; only gave her scanty and dirty clothing, and compelled her to sleep, even in the coldest weather, in an underground shed in the garden on a filthy mattress. At length the cruelty became so scandalous that the neighbours interfered. They found the po or child in a woful state; she was reduced almost to a skeleton ; was literally covered with burns and bruises, and there were severe cuts and sores in different parts of her person. She was taken to the hospital, but died in a few days. Some of the witnesses stated that they never saw in their lives a more horrible spectacle than that presented . by the poor and their evidence drew forth ex pressions of disgust and horror from the auditory ; but the prisoner remained calm and indifferent. No other reason was stated for her abominable conduct than that she had taken a profound dislike to the child ; but she was very good to her other child, and also to the two children of her husband by a former wife. The jury declared her Guilty. On hearing the ver dict she appealed to the judges for " indulgence." The Court condemned her to death. She appeared completely overwhelmed, and exclaimed " Ah, mon Dieu! ah, mon Dieu !"—Galignani. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

INTERNATION C opy ion of literary Gil T.I piracy important iiec,io a and on 1 .. AL A treaty for the suppress been actually signed between Great Britain has France. No details respecting this vention are given ; but I learn that it was s' the 3d of this month at t he Ministr y of Forei g n affairs in this city, by the M ar q uis of Normanb y on the part of England and the Count Turgot on the pa r t of France ; and I learn also that the principal points of it are-1, an absolute prohibition of literary piracy in the two countries; 2, the prohibition in both countries of the importation of piracies of the works o f either from other countries ; 3, the same p rotection t 0 musical compositions, designs, paintings, sculpture, and other artistic productions as to books ; 4, translations pro tection to translations of original works, published in either country, when made by or for the author— alsoaud theis of works published in other countries ; 5, the lon of dramatic productions to books, f i rst ticaeprotection of them accordingly. This is the England and France have entered into a' LONDON, WEDNESDAY treaty of this kind. Although it is to be regretted that it has been delayed so long, the best thanks of the public are due to the Governments of both nations for having, in spite of many obstacles, concluded it. It is to be hoped, and indeed expected, that the United States and Belgium will now be shamed into the adoption of similar con ventions—the former with England, the latter with France. They are at present the only two coun tries in which piracy is carried on on an extensive scale, and when they shall have abolished it, it can be suppressed everywhere else by a few scratches of the I pen. The new treaty will be advantageous to English authors and publishers by securing them the foreign as well as the home market for their books; and it will be indirectly advantageous for the public also— for the larger the certain sale of any work the cheaper each copy can be made ; but the parties who will be principally affected, will be dramatists and translators —henceforth they must pay a toll to the authors whose works they take. En revanche their transla tions will be prctected. To be sure, dramatic trans lators and managers will grumble at the payment of the toll, seeing that the protection will scarcely be worth a straw to them, as the same piece is seldom produced at two theatres ; but really it is but simple justice that they should give the Frenchmen whose pieces they borrow a portion of their gains. As to translations of books, the new treaty cannot fail to be satisfactory to translators, publishers, and the public —to the two former by preserving them in return for the payment of a certain sum, from competition and un derselling; to the latter, by causing works of real sterling merit, which have heretofore, from want of protection, been totally neglected to be translated. —Literary Gazette. BRITISH FISHERIES AND FISH MARKET IMPROT'EMENTS. Mr. Dempster has addressed a letter to the Lord Provost and the magistrates and councillors of the city of Edinburgh on the subject of Fisheries and Fish Market improvements, now before the Town Council Market Committee, in which be says " there is an excellent scheme to promote fishery improvements now lying in statu quo in Edin burgh ; a scheme that but few amongst the public as yet appear to be at all acquainted with. A party of highly respectable gentlemen called several meetings, by circular, to discuss the question on the propriety of promoting white fishing improvements. Meetings took place, the subject was discussed, and it was agreed upon by everbody present that there was a wide field lay open for white fishing improvements. A committee was formed to carry a joint-stock com pany into effect. Parties were employed to collect all the requisite information for the guidance of the com mittee, which was done. A prospectus was drawn up by the secretary for the committee, and approved by them. It was printed, and (to some extent) circulated. Several years have now passed by since the informa tion for the guidance of a fishing company was obtained ; and the circumstance that will cause wonderment is, although the fish-markets here have ever since been gradually declining, still there is no fish ing company,nor have the fishermen themselves even at tempted anything like improvement. Heavy bodies and heavy schemes require strong powers to propel them forward. High pressure has always to be resorted to before any question affecting the general public wel fare can be shaped into what is termed " fair working order." Are the Edinburgh Town Councillors satis fied that the fish markets here are not supplied as well as they ought, or may be ; and if they throw their weight in the scale, who need doubt the result ?" Mr. Dempster also observes—" At the Great Exhibition in London this year 1851, several excellent specimens of improved fishing vessels and gear were shown. Some of the models of vessels looked more like revenue cutters and yachts than vessels adapted for fishing purposes. It is in consequence of such vessels as these, however, that the southern fishermen are so much in advance of their northern brethren. The youth of country towns and cities feel no more hesita tion in binding themselves to apprenticeships on board of such vessels, than they would on board of any other sea-going craft. But few of the owners of fishing vessels in England reside at villages and towns along shore. Now that railways have opened up such a❑ extensive market for fresh fish, three times the num ber of fishermen now engaged might be usefully em ployed, and not overdo the demand. What is there to prevent the youth of cities end inland towns from becoming as good fishermen as those who are brought up along the coast ? In Scotland the only want is the proper description of vessels.— Caledonian Mercury. THE LONDON GAZETTE, Nov. 18.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 18. NEW TRIAL PAPER,--RYAN V. SHILCOCK AND PURDAY. This was an action on the case against the-defen dants for making an illegal and excessive distress; the declaration containing also a count in trover. At the trial in Middlesex, before Mr. Baron Parke, the plaintiff failed altogether to connect Shilcock with the alleged ground of action, and, as regarded Purday, the bailiff, he proved that certain goods had been taken by him from a stable to which he gained access by removing a loose staple. It further appeared that the door had originally been fastened to this staple by a chain and padlock, but that, the key of the latter having been lost while it was locked, the plaintiff, or those connected with him, had removed the staple fram the doorpost, and replaced it in the same holes, till at last, by frequent use, it had become quite loose, and was, as the jury found, " an apparent, but not a real fastening." Under these circumstances it was objected to by the plaintiff that the defendant had ex ceeded his rights as a bailiff in execution of a distress warrant, and was liable for breaking open the door, and that that being so, trover would lie for the goods so ille • gaily taken from the possession of the plaintiff. The Learned Baron having obtained the special finding of the jury above mentioned, directed a verdict for the defendant Purday, with leave to the plaintiff to move to enter a verdict for him for 61., the value of the goods, if the Court should be of opinion that the means by which the defendant entered were illegal, and, being illegal, vitiated the distress subsequently made in the stable. Mr. James and Mr. Forteecue appeared for the de fendant, and Mr. Humfrey and Mr. Prowett appeared for the plaintiff. The CHIEF BARON, at the close of the arguments on both sides, intimated that the Court would give judgment, in all probability, on Saturday next. — Judgment deferred.

THE NEW NOVEL, just published under the title of " Ravenscliffe," from the pen of the author of " Emilia Wyndham," "Two Old Men's Tales," &c., will be generally considered the most striking and interesting this popular writer has yet produced. "Ravenscliffe (says the A thenaum) contains scenes not surpassed in power by those . " The Admiral's Daughter," which announced an addition to the phalanx of English authoresses so remarkable as that of "The Two Old Men." No reader can bear the heroine company without feeling in some degree the same sense of powerlessness to cope with the fascinations of a dark destiny which is conveyed by the stories of Richardson's Clarissa, and Scott's Lucy Ashton. This is praise enough—yet not too much."—Ltheaceam. ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Ointment and Pils have effectually cured a Bad Leg after Thirty Years' suffering.—Mr. Wee. Abbe, builder, of Gas Ovens Rusheliffe, near Huddersfield, suffered for a period of thirty years from a bad leg, which was accompanied by strong scorbutic symp toms. He had recourse to various medical men for advices without obtaining relief, and was told by one of them that the leg would require to be amputated.

THE INDIAN ARCHIPELAGO.--Our shipping news this month will be found to record the loss of several vessels, English and American, in the waters of the Indian Archipe lago. Among these are two American chips, one the clipper Memnon, bound to London, with 1,400 chests of teas on board, and the other the ship George Browne, from Cali fornia, in ballast. The English barque Metropolis, wrecked on Bingtan ; some weeks ago, was also a tea ship, having 5,000 cheats on board, and bound for Halifax, iet North Americe.— Singapore Free ,Press of Oa, 6. MARTIN V. MANGEON. Mr. Field appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Haw kins was counsel for the defendant. This was an action on a bill of exchange for 1001. drawn by the defendant on a person named Power. The defendant pleaded that he had no notice of the dishonour of the bill by Power. It appeared that the plaintiff is a plumber and gla zier, carrying on his business in Great Brewer street, Golden-square, and that he had discounted the bill in question. Upon the bill arriving at matu rity it was duly presented for payment at the London Union Bank, in Argyle-place, Regent-street. This was in the month of November, 1847; but the reply at the bank was "No effects." Thus the bill was dishonoured. In consequence of this result, the plain tiff stated that he had called upon the defendant, and had verbally communicated to him the fact of the dis • honour of the bill, when the defendant bad stated that he should be able to obtain the money from the ac ceptor, and would do so if the plaintiff would wait for a few days. Subsequently the plaintiff said he had made repeated applications for payment to the defen dant, butithey had all been unsuccessful. The defendant, on the other hand, now said that the bill had become due on a Saturday, and that he had heard nothing from the plaintiff as to its dishonour until the following Wednesday or Thursday, upon which occasion he had told the plaintiff that he should see the acceptor in a day or two, when he would try to get the money for the bill from him. At a more recent date the plaintiff had made several applications for the address of the acceptor, but the defendant al together denied he had made an application to him for the payment of the bill, nor had he ever been called upon to pay the amount until he had received a letter from an attorney on the subject on the sth of July in the present year. A letter was then put in, dated Sept. 4, 1849, from the plaintiff to the defendant, in which the former de manded the payment of an account for work which he had done for the latter, but in which he made no mention of this bill of exchange. Some accounts were also put in, but in no one of them was any reference made to this bill. Mr. Baron MARTIN having summed up, The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 1001., with 20/. for interest. Mr. Baron MARTIN then said, that this case had proved the benefit which could be derived from the operation of the new law of evidence. That new law had acted most beneficially in the present case; for there had been thousands of instances where a ions fide holder of a bill of exchange had given a verbal notice to a party of the dishonour of the bill without, as in the present instance, his having taken any wit ness with him. Prior to this new law of evidence, the party not being eligible or admissible as a witness himself, had been without the means of giving proof of the dishonour; while here, the,►plaintiff having been himself examined, had proved that he had personally informed the g ilefendant of the nonpayment of the bill. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 18. (Before Mr. Commissioner HoLRo!D.) IN RE HANSON. The bankrupt, William Hanson, of Kensington, statuary, applied for his certificate. His accounts, January, 1847, showed the following :—Creditors, 1,297/. ; capital, 253/. ; profits, 11,980/.; debtors, good, 335/. ; property, 184/. ; trade expenses, 1,2481. ; personal expenses, 722/. ; losses, 8911. Mr. Lawrance supported the bankrupt, who was unopposed. His Hoxouu granted an .immediate certificate of the second class. IN BE AeLEOD. The bankrupt was described as a merchant of Ben gal and Ealing. This was a meeting far the choice of assignees. The bankrupt had been arrested at the suit of a creditor of the name of Lepage, and was brought before the Court in custody. Mr. DANGERFIELD applied under the 112th section of the Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act for the bankrupt to be discharged, urging that the grounds upon which he had been taken in execution, viz., an apprehension of his leaving the country, were un founded. Mr. Lepage was called, and, upon being examined, said he believed, if the bankrupt was discharged, he would go to India, as he would be more likely to ob tain employment in that country than in England. For many years he had practiced as a pleader in the native courts both of Tirhoot, and Calcutta, and was a man of education and great talents, and very well read in the laws of India, and was a good linguist. He had creditors in India. The bankrupt, on being examined, denied having any intention of leaving the country. It was most certainly his intention to be present at the examina tio❑ meeting. His HoNota said he saw no objection to this person having his discharge. If he did not surrender on the day fixed for his last examination, he would thereby commit a felony, and might be proceeded against in India as well as here. Under the circumstances, he thought he ought to be discharged. The bankrupt was then discharged. IN RE RITHERDON. The bankrupt, E Ritherdon, ship-builder, of Pop lar, came up to pass his last examination. His ac counts, extending over nineteen months, showed— creditors, 3,251/. ; creditors for advances, 984/. ; profits, 291.; debtors, good and doubtful, 5101.; pro perty, 350/. ; expenses, 1,253/. ; losses, 2,4121. The examination was adjourned for the bankrupt to give a statement of his expenditure from April. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALr.. William Griffithiliemp was brought up for further examination before Alderman Lawrence, on the charge of uttering a forged cheque for 391. 10i., with intent to defraud the London and 'Westminster Bank. The cheque appeared to have been drawn in the name of Palmer, a draper, of Aldgate, and was dated the 12th of November, 1851, and made payable to "Cooke and Co." Mr. Palmer having withdrawn his account two months previously, and the forged signature bearing little or no similarity to his hand writing or mode of signing his name, the fraudlwa s detected the moment the cheque was presented. It was further explained that a burglary had been com mitted at Mr. Palmer's house on the night of the 9th of last June, and that a few days prior to that cir cumstance prisoner had been seen hanging about the premises, but no evidence was offered to substantiate the latter allegation. The officer said he had m a d e inquiries, and ascertained that the cheque was from a book that had been stolen from a Mr. Benda, a toy merchant in the City, who had an account at the Lon don and Westminster Bank. Alderman LAWRENCE wished to know something of the prisoner's private character, and directed the officer to have Mr. Benda in attendance on Friday next.—Remanded. MAR YLEBONE. Mr. Davis, grocer and oilman, 67, Harrow-road, was yesterday summoned before Mr. Broughton by the Board of Inland Revenue, charged with having in his possession 190Ibs. of husks of red and white mustard seed and ground rice,,, and also with having in his possession some pepper adulterated with the same, and for which he had rendered himself amen able for each offence to a penalty of 1001. Mr. Latten, supervisor of Inland Revenue, attended to watch the case on the part of the Crown, and Mr. M`Carter, the barrister, appeared for the defendant. Mr. BROUGHTON said it was a case of serious im portance to the defendant as well as the public, and after giving the subject due consideration he (Mr. Broughton) had come to the conclusion that the case had been proved. Under these circumstances, he felt it his duty to give a judgment ; but in con sideration of the defendant's previous good character as an honest tradesman he should only inflict the re duced penalty of 251., being the fourth of the penalty for the one conviction proceeded on. It was understood the money was paid. WORSHIP-S fREET. Matthew Matthew, Charles Richard Burdett Walker, Horatio Stainbridge, Richard Lowe, Francis Williams, and Eliza Buckell, six respectably-attired persons, were placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncourt for re-examination, charged with conspiring together for the purpose of obtaining goods to an extensive amount from merchants and tradesmen upon false pretences. - Mr. Lewis appeared on behalf of Messrs. 0 wen and Jay, secretaries of the London Trade Protection Society, 170, Regent-street, to conduct the prosecu tion ; Mr. Andrews appeared for the female prisoner Buckell, and Mr. Ablett on the part of the rest of the prisoners. Mr. Lewis said, that each time th;s case came up it exhibited new features of interest and importance to the public, and since the last examination a vast number of letters had been placed in his hands from mercantile and manufacturing firms, addressed to the last residence of the prisioner Walker, exhibiting the widely-ramified nature of the conspiracy in which the prisoners had been engaged, and embracing almost all parts of the country. A portion of this correspondence consisted of letters from the prisoner Walker, under the name of Charles Richard Burdett, sometimes called " the Rev. Charles Burdett," containing applications for lists of prices and orders for goods upon various manufac turing houses, and the answers to which, with the sanction of the Court, he would now read. The Learned Gentleman then read, under strong protest from the solicitors for the defence, an order from Walker upon Messrs. Jamieson and Paterson, of Glas gow, for two dozen pieces of imitation Madras silk handkerchiefs, accompanied by an invoice from that firm for the amount of the property so transmitted, but in the obtainment of which he was happy to say that the prisoners did not succeed, as the goods had been fortunately stopped by the officers in transitu since the prisoners' apprehension. The rest were from Messrs. Holden and Co., of Belfast ; Messrs. Kesselmeyer and Mellodew, of Manchester ; Messrs. Alsop, Robins, and Co., carpet manufacturers, of Leek, in Staffordshire ; a Quaker firm, named Whig ham and Son, plaid manufacturers, of Nicholson street, Edinburgh; Messrs. Fry and Co., poplin manufacturers, Westmoreland -street, Dublin ; Messrs. Ketroyd and Co., Halifax, York shire ; Messrs. John Hadwen and Sons, silk spinners ; Messrs. Reynolds and Co., Irish poplin warehouse, Grafton-street, Dublin ; Messrs. Bannerman and Sons, Dacian fabric-makers, Man chester, and others of the same description, all bear ing reference to the respective goods in which the several firms dealt, and most of them expressive of readiness to execute any orders that the prisoners might favour them with. To show the prisoner Wal ker's anxiety to conceal the extent of his transactions, he might mention that he had transmitted directions to the Post-office since his apprehension not to for ward any more letters to his residence in the Loughborough-road, Brixton, and appointing another place for that purpose ; but in this he would be dis appointed, as effectual measures had been taken to prevent his wishes being complied with. He should now complete the first charge against the whole of them, preferred by Mr. Watkins, a draper in Norton folgate, in which the prisoners were jointly implicated in obtaining goods to a considerable amount, and should then proceed with a distinct and separate charge of forgery against the prisoner Walker. From the extensive and complicated nature of their trans actions, he should not be able to proceed further upon this occasion, but at the next exami nat i on h e s h ou l d b e prepared with numerous other charges of a like nature against them. - After a good deal of evidence in support of the first case above referred to, the particulars of which have already shortly appeared in this paper, and the depositions of the witnesses in which were completed by Mr. Hurlstone, the second clerk, the following evi dence upon the charge of forgery against Walker,who was now singly arraigned, was gone into : Mr. Philip Kirk, auctioneer and estate agent at Brompton, stated that on the 25th of April, 1849, the prisoner Walker applied to him to become tenant of the house No. 39, Brompton-crescent, and gave as referees a Mr. Charles Burdett, of Shepperton-cot tages, New North-road, and a Mr. Annesley, of Union-row, Wandsworth-road. The prisoner at that time gave his name as Joseph Helmsley, re siding at Seething Wells, Kingston, Surrey, and the answers of the referees having neen perfectly satisfac tory, he consented to accept the prisoner as a tenant, upon condition of his purchasing some carpets, fen ders, cornices, and other furniture fitted to the house, at a valuation of 571. 15s. The prisoner consented to do so, but said that as he received his income quarterly it would be inconvenient to pay ready money, and therefore tendered a bill of exchange at six weeks, accepted by the prisoner, as was also the agreement for the house, in the name of Joseph Helmsley, and endorsed by his referee Burdett, the witness himself attesting the signature. Two days before the bill, however, became due, he discovered that the prisoner had absconded with the whole of the property referred to, and upon looking for the re ferees he found that they had absconded also, and, although he had been on the active look out since, he had been unable to hear anything of the prisoner until, by the newspapers, he saw that he was in cus tody at this court, and immediately came down and identified him. The bill, of course, had not been paid by either of the persons whose names it bore. Francis, an active officer of the N division, who had cleverly apprehended the whole of the prisoners, deposed to the prisoner Burdett, Walker, or Helms ley, giving his name when i❑ custody at the station as Charles Richard Burdett 'Walker ; and Henry Hammond, clerk to Mr. William Norris, a builder at Hackney, of whom that prisoner had taken a house in Anne's-place, Hackney, at 501. per year, proved that on his so doing he signed the agreement for it as Charles Richard Walker only, describing himself as of Milman-street, Bedford-row, gentleman. Mr. Robert Bressey, a coachbuilder, of High street, Stoke Newington, also gave corroborative evi dence upon the same point, and proved that while re siding in Anne's-place, on the 17th of August last, Walker in that name obtained from him a 16 guinea phaeton, for which he gave him an acceptance at six weeks, but absconded before the bill arrived at maturity. The solicitor for the prosecution then intimated, that to complete this charge against the prisoner he should at the next examination call Sergeant Dubois, who would prove that at the very time Walker wry passing by the name of Helmsley there was a true bill out against him for fraud under the name of Burdett. A gentleman named Heard, who had a charge to prefer against the prisoners of obtaining a pony from him by similar means and representations, then jumped into the witness-box; but in consequence of the lateness of the hour it was determined to take no more cases that day, and the whole of the prisoners were transferred to the House of Detention, the magistrate positively refusing to accept bail for either of them. LAMBETH. Yesterday Henry Tarling,, who had been formerly a cabman, but who has t en convicted of housebreak ing, and has had several periods of imprisonment for desperate assaults on different persons, and Ellen Tar ling, his wife, were placed at the bar for final exami ❑ation before Mr. Elliot, for the following murderous attack upon a police. constable : Charles Selston, 142 P, deposed that about twelve o'clock on the night of the Ist instant he found the male prisoner quarelling with another man in East lane, Walwortb. The other man wanted to go away, but the prisoner, who followed him, wanted to make him fight. Witness went up and told the prisoner to go home, upon which he turned round and hit him a blow on the ribs. He asked him what he had done it for, and at the same time laid hold of him ; upon which they both struggled and fell down together. The prisoner got up and threw him again, and on his getting up, he (the prisoner) said he would go quietly to the station-house. He did go quietly for a short distance, but, on reaching a dark place, some man who was following cried out, "Now give it him, Harry." The prisoner then said, " What do you want with me, you ?" and instantly struck him a violent blow on the nose; and he (witness) at the same time having grasped him, they both fell together. While on the ground some person kicked him (wit ness) violently on the ribs. He drew his truncheon, but the prisoner, by a great effort, got on the top of him, and knelt on his throat. The female prisoner, who was with her husband when witness first saw them, got hold of his face, and exclaiming, " N ow, you I'll have your eye out," tried to force his right eye out of its socket. She put her fingers into both his eyes and tried to pull them out, and repeated the expression she had before used. His right eye she succeeded in nearly pulling away, so that the pain he endured was most ex cruciating, but he ultimately, by the greatest pos sible exertions, endeavoured to get up. He bad scarcely got on his feet when the male prisoner gave him a desperate blow on the mouth, which knocked him down, and both prisoners endeavoured to take swa y his truncheon, but did not succeed. While on the ground this time some person; whom he believed to be the female prisoner, strut'; him on the head with a stone, but he still clung to the male prisoner, and held him till another constable came up to his assist ance, when the male prisoner was taken to the station house. The female prisoner ran away when the other constable came to his assistance, and he was perfectly satisfied she was the person who had assisted her hus band in assaulting him. He knew her from seeing her on that night, as well as on a previous occasion, when she wished him to take her husband into cus tody on a charge of assaulting her. His (witness's) right eye w as so severely injured that he could, even at the present time, see Out dimly through it, and at one time it was the opinion of the surgeon who at tended him atilt he fibould not be able to see tbrotigb i it again. The skin about his eye s was cut larril " ...l3ral places by the female prisoners nails.
