TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the BOSJESMAN or BUSH T!tIBE, from the interior of South Africa, a race that, from their wild habits, could never before be induced to visit a place of civilization. This opportunity of gratifying the man of science and the student in zoology has only been obtained by great personal exertion on the part of the gentlemen who have brought them to England, at an immense outlay of capital. On the passage to Europe a baby was born at sea, thus adding to the great interest that must be excited by their appearance.

AN Additional and Important Evidence of the Salutary Effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, trom Mr. Samuel I)ixon, of Kingscliffe, Northamptonshire. " Kingselffe, Northamptonshire, March 14, 1846. " To Mr. Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London. " Sir,—l feel it a duty which I owe to yourself and the public to atom you of the great benefit which I have derived by taking Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. During several years I was fre quently laid up by attacks of gout, being unable to attend to business for months at a time. I had often been advised to try Blair's Pills, but it was not until a friend pressed them upon me that I was in duced to take them. and from which I found speedy relief. This is several years ago, but I continue to take them whenever an attack comes on, and am thereby enabled quickly to resume my business. • I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " SAMUEL DIXON." The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheu matism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and certain relief. Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none have co.dributed so much to the comfort and ease of the com munity, nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the important discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, the efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recommen dation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effective for gout and rheumatism in all its various forms, including sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as tooth ache, &c. They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part.

REMARKABLE CASE of RESTORATION. A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls, a gentleman residing at Northam, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from ilarlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill ness of several months' duration, during which period his hair con 'inued to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly bald as it his head had been shaved;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel, then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, and it is highly gratifying to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was used the growth recommenced, and he has now to boast of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl, the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger. *.* Beware of " Spurious Imitations !—The genuine article has the words " ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL " on the wrapper.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH COAS I RAILWAY. BRIGHTON, JUNE I.—We regret to state that a melancholy and fatal accident occurred, on Monday evening, on the Portsmouth Extension of the Brighton and Chichester Railway. Rumour, as usual, had greatly exat'gerated the result, it being reported in Brighton yesterday morning that five, six, and even ten persons had lost their lives. At the station our reporter learned that the accident had proved fatal with regard to one person only, and he proceeded by an early train to the spot. In the train he had for fellow-passengers Mr. Thomas Kirtley (locomotive engineer of the company), Mr. Copley (the assistant manager of the railway), and Mr. Acton (superintendent of the railway police), who were also on the way to she site of the accident. Learn. ing the object of our reporter's journey, the first named gentleman kindly informed him that he was a passenger by the train which, sustained the accident, and he volun teered the particulars which we here subjoin : The train in question was a continuation of the two o'clock down train from London. It started from Brighton on its way to Havant at a quarter past four o'clock, and kept its time with perfect exactness, leaving Chichester at 20 minutes to six. Mr. Kirtley had gone to Chichester by an earlier train to make arrangements with regard to a supply of gas, and having finished this business, and wishing to proceed to Havant for the pur pose of arranging for the departure of some extra trains this morning, he stepped on the engine of the train, and rode with the driver from Chichester to Bosham Pound, a station three miles towards Portsmouth. Here he left the engine, and entered a carriage in which were his wile and child, and the train proceeded about a mile and a halt forward, when a rumbling noise was heard, and the train immediately came to a standstill near Nutbourne, half way between the Bosham station and the borders of the counties of Sussex and Hampshire, at Emsworth. The speed was between 32 and 35 miles, the road is perfectly level, and the line straight. Without any apparent cause the engine had suddenly left the line, the rails and the engine being in the best working condition. It ap peared that the engine on leaving the rails rushed across the up line at an angle of about 45, and tearing up the rails in its progress toppled over an embankment about four feet high into a ditch about the same depth, wheels uppermost. The connecting irons which couple the engine and tender having snapped, the tender was drawn off the line only a few inches, probably by the jerk. The luggage box was also just off the line, and had mounted the tender, but none of the carriages were off, nor were they in the slightest degree injured. On the train being thus suddenly brought up, Mr. Kirtley had the passengers alighted. The engine• driver was found under the tender. He is supposed to have fallen from the engine at the moment it left the rails, and to have been struck by the train, and the first wheel of the tender having passed over his thigh com pletely severed it. He was quite dead. His name was John Gregory. He was about twenty-eight years of age, and has left a widow and family. He was a very steady driver. The stoker, whose name is Henry Peel, was about the same age, and he was also a married man, living at Brighton. He was found lying close to the driver. His right arm was nearly severed from-his shoulder, and his scull was fractured, but he was still alive. He was re moved to a neighbouring cottage, where he was promptly attended by medical men, procured from Emsworth. ,He is in a desperate condition, but still some hope is enter tained of his recovery. The only other person who was injured by the ca tastrophe was the guard, named Careless. He merely received a slight shock, and is to-day nearly recovered. From the spot where the engiue left the rails to its present site is exactly eighty yards ; to the spot where the tender and train stopped, sixty-five yards ; and con sequently the bodies were picked up a bout twenty yards from the overturned engine. Tne tender is barely in jured, with the exception of an indentation of the water tank ; and the luggage box had not so much as a splinter knocked off. So gradually, although so rapidly, was the train brought up, th a t t h e passengers did not suspect a n acci dent until the train stopped. Mr. ley himself stated to our reporter that it was his extensive knowledge of railway traffic which alone led him to detect something unusual in the rumbling noise produced by the engin e as it was tearing up th e rails, The passengers were promptly forwarded to their destination in vehicles pro cured in the neighbourhood. About 20 of the rails were broken or bent, and some delay was of course oc casioned to the subsequent trains. The tender was on the rails in half an hour, and was the same evening re moved to Brighton. The site of the accident is in the small thick wood at the back of the beautiful little village of Nutbourne. As described above, the line is perfectly straight and per fectly level; the rails had been replaced; and it was not till a second look had been taken that he discovered the damaged rails lying on one side of the very low embank ment, and the overturned engine in the ditch on the other. Anything less like what one pictures as the site of a fatal railway accident can hardly be imagined. As to the immediate cause of the accident nothing is known. An investigation will, of course, take place by a Government engineer. The ballasting on the spot is a coarse gravel, that which we believe geologists call alluvial; and on looking at the spot an idea suggested itself; that one of the larger stones might have been accidentally or otherwise placed on the rail. A footpath crosses the railway on a level, exactly midway between the place where the engine ran off and where it stopped. This suggestion is answered by the fact, that the engine is furnished with "protectors," which would remove from the rails anything of an inch diameter. A second idea is suggested by an inspection of the engine. It is one of Stephenson's last patents, but the cylinders are on the outside, and some drivers dislike such engines, because of their greater oscillation, or " wobbling." Mr. Kirtley had an escape which may be regarded as truly miraculous. Had he remained on the engines, as is his custom, for the purpose of overlooking the line, he would probably have shared the fate of the driver and stoker; to his change at Bosham from the engine to a carriage may he owe his life. The body of the driver lies at the Bell and Anchor, Nutbourne.— Times. to the poli ce per forming order of the Secretary lnt placeer a t i o relativeri forming duty at the various Pol ice•courts.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] — A REMARKABLE CURE OF DROPSY, BY HOLLOWAY'S HILLS.--Tames Thomas, an old discharged soldier, who had been many years in India, where his constitution was much impaired, attended St. George's Hospital some time since, being in very bad health, besides being dropsical. After several weeks, the poor fellow began to despair, as he got worse instead of better. One day he happened to inset his c onunauding officer, who gave him some money, and recommended him to try Holloway's l'illS, which advice he followed, and, in about two months, every symptom of dropsy had left him, being restored to perfect health.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm. Sales, 5,000 bales, of which 1,500 were on speculation and for export. Railway Shares were not quite so good. There was a greater disposition to sell on the part of recent pur chasers, who could realise a profit. The Share Market was hardly so brisk yesterday; but at the sale of Railway Shares, by Messrs. Lamond and Co., prices were steady.

From the manufacturing districts we have store favour able accounts to-day, and we have every hope that a con tinuance of the present fine weather will inspire such con fidence as to induce a material extension of business. It is rather important to bear in mind also that the late ac counts sent out to the United States would convey intelligence of the general inclination of our manufacturers to work " short time," and that this would have the effect, probably, of in creasing the desire of the Americans—who must be certain of an extensive demand for fabrics while their trade in grain continued so flourishing—to make immediate purchases of our textile products, even at advanced rates. The effect of this, with an easier state of the Money Market in England, must be to revive confidence and impart activity. The English Stock Market has been again rather fluc tuating to-day, and will not probably become steadier until after the Exchequer -bills have been sent in, and some of the pressure of railway calls is abated, although we hear of seve ral companies having materially abridged the extent of the works lately progressing.

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY An extremely small supply of English Wheat has arrived hither for sale this week; and the show of samples was trifl ing. Although the accounts relative to the growing crops are very favourable, rather more firmness was manifested on. the part of the holders of Wheat of home produce, the prices of which were steadily supported. In Foreign Wheat com paratively little business was doing; yet we can notice n alteration in value. The sale for Barley was heavy, at Monday's figures. Malt, Oats, Beau, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were exceedingly dull, at unalttered currencies. ARRIVALS. Wheat. 1,130 qrs. Barley. Oatg 1 Flour . 100 qrs. 50 qrs.

The Lord Chancellor sat in his Court at Westminster t, - day. PERRY v. MEDDOWCROFL, The arguments in this case, which were commenced on Saturday, were resumed this morning. The case came before his Lordship upon appeal from the judgment of the Master of the Rolls, disallowing certain exceptions to the report of the Master. The cause came before the. Master of the Rolls in November last, upon exceptions to the Master's report, who, upon a reference directed to him, received in evidence a decree pronounced in the Ecclesiastical Court on the 12th of July, 1816, declaring a marriage between William Meddowcroft and Mary Gregory null and void on account of the minority of the fornier, and because the latter had caused the banns to • be published in the name of "Widowcroft ;" and upon that the Master had found that there was no lineal i glescendent of William and Edmund Meddowcroft. This was now objected to ; and it was said, in addition, that he should have found William Meddowcroft, the son of Vary Gregory, to be his lineal descendant. James Meddowcroft, the testator in this cause, was a solicitor car rying on business in Gray's Inn ; and by his will he directed his trustees to invest the income arising from his property in the purchase of real estates, and accumulate the income for twenty-one years. He then gave the estates to the male lineal descendant of William Meddowcroft, the younger, deceased, and, in case there should be none, then he gave the estates to the male lineal descendant of Edmund Meddowcroft, and in case there should be none, then •he directed his estates to be sold. The testator died on the 7th of July, 1821, and the periodof accumulation expired oa the 7th of July, 1842. On the 30th of January, 1843, a reference was directed to the Master to ascertain whether there was any male lineal descendant of William Meddowcroft and Edmund Meddowcroft. Two states of facts were taken, in the one by William Meddow croft, the son of Mary Gregory, and the other by Mrs. Huguenin, showing the state of the testator's family at the time of the expiration of the period of accumulation ; and upon this inquiry, the Master received the decree of the Ecclesiastical Court in evidence, and reported against the claim of William Meddowcroft, the son of Mary Gregory, and certified that there was no male lineal descendant of William Meddowcroft, the younger, living at the expira tion of the period of accumulation. In 1813, William Meddowcroft, the younger, came to London as a clerk in the office of his uncle, James Meddowcroft. He was about the age of eighteen, and resided in a boarding-house, kept by Miss Lewis, at No. 13, Devonshire-street, Queen square. He there became acquainted with Mary Gre gory, the widow of a lieutenant in the navy. She was about the age of thirty years, and had an annuity of 601. a year from Government. It was said that acquaint ance ripened into attachment, and that in 1814, William Meddowcroft, who represented that he had no father or mother living, made a proposal of marriage. Mr. James Meddowcroft, the uncle, was apprised of this, and he ex pressed his determination of breaking it off. He removed his nephew from the boarding-house. Mrs. Gregory also re moved, and went to reside at Craven-street, in the Strand ; but notwithstanding this separation a correspondence was kept up between them, and it was alleged that Mrs. Gre gory's friends were made acquainted with all that took place. In 1815 the parties resolved to be married unknown to the uncle. Mrs. Gregory gave instructions in writing to Elizabeth Bradley, at whose house she resided, for putting up the banns. Mrs. Bradley, without reading it, took the slip of paper to the house of a person named Peery, the parish clerk of St. James, Clerkenwell, and gave it to his daughter Elizabeth, who, from this slip of paper, entered the names in the clerk's book as William Widowcroft," bache lor, to Mary Gregory, widow. This entry was copied into the banns-book, and in those names they were published on the 12th, 19th, and 26th of February, 1815. On the 28th February, 1815, the parties attended to be married, the banns book was laid upon the table. William Meddowcroft looked at it, and disclaimed the name of " Widowcroft." It wits alleged that Mrs. Gregory then refused to proceed with the ceremony, but this reluctance was removed upon the name being altered in the banns -book ; and upon the assurance of both clergyman and clerk that the marriage would be good, and that there was ncthing to fear, the marriage was then solemnized. It, however, proved un happy, and within a year Mrs. Gregory went to reside in Devonshire; she subsequently returned, but in consequence of her continued unhappiness, which resulted in a miscar riage, she resolved to acquaint James Meddowcroft, the unck. She accordingly went to him in January, 1816; he at first treated her with apparent kindness, but upon being made acquainted with all the facts relating to the marriage his manner changed, and he declared his resolution to have it set aside, cost what it would. She was shortly afterwards served with a citation from the Ecclesiastical Court, at the suit of the father, and then for the first time, as alleged, she became aware that William Meddowcrott the younger had a father whose name was also William. Upon being served with the citation, Mrs. Gregory went to Mewl,. Nicholls and Bishop, the King's proctors, fcr advice; but they, after listening to her statement, required her to write her further instructions upon paper. She then wrote that the suit was instituted to set aside the marriage between William Meddowcrott and Mary Gregory, the banns having been published in the name of Widowcroft, but altered pre vious to the marriage. She also is alleged to have expressed her determination to defend the suit at all events, though her pension as a naval officer's widow was insufficient. It was alleged that she told her proceedings to William Meddow croft, and that he told them to his uncle. During the whole of those proceedings William Meddowcroft lived with Mary Gregory, and on the 6th of June, 1816, she wrote to Messrs. Nicholls and Bishop, stating that there was a prospect of her becoming a mother, and that she trusted a provision would be made for her child. During the whole of this time William Meddowcroft was in the office of his uncle, who expressed his resolution to have the marriage annulled, but his nephew told Mrs. Gregory that he would marry her again, and under that promise it was alleged that she neglected actively to defend the suit. It appears, however, that Dr. Jenner and Dr. Dobson ap • peered on her behalf, but in the result Sir William Scott de cided that the marriage was fraudulently effected, and for a fraudulent purpose. It was said that reflections had been made upon her character, and that she desired to go into evidence upon that, but none was gone into, and the only evidence produced was to show that fraud had been com mitted. The marriage was accordingly set aside, and William Meddowcrott subsequently married Miss Davis, but died without leaving any issue, and this widow has since married Mr. Huguenin. Upon the decease of William itteddewcroft, the present exceptant disputed the right of his wife to take out letters of administration to her husband. In this, however, he was defeated, and again in the Privy Council. It was insisted, before the Master of the Rolls, on behalf of William Meddowcroft, the son of Mary Gregory, that the decree had been obtained by collusion, and it was said that it was competent for this Court to entertain the question ; it was also insisted that the ecclesiastical courts had no authority to set aside a decree obtained by fraud, and that the evidence now brought forward gave a new aspect to the case. --- Mr. - Bethel!, Mr. Walpole, Dr. Phillimore, and Mr. Daniel, were in support of the appeal, and Mr. Hodgson and Mr. Cole appeared as counsel to support the decision of the Court below. Mr. BETRELL resumed his arguments on behalf of the ap pellant this morning, and was proceeding with his address to the Court, when The LORD CHANCELLOR stated he was clearly of opini, n that he could not decide the case satisfactorily without the intervention of a jury. After some short discussion the case was directed to stand over fin- a week, in order to afford the parties an op portunity of considering whether, for the purpose of having the necessary documents (all the witnesses being dead) be fore a Jury, they should tile a bill for discovery only, or a bill for discovery and relief. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) THE NEW COUNTY COURTS—BOROUGH OF ST. ALBANS. Sir F. THESIGER said he had been instructed to apply for a rule calling upon Mr. Edward Gibson, of St. Alban's, to show cause why a criminal information should not issue, calling upon him to show by what authority he held the office of clerk to the new County Court of St. Alban's. The ques tion, he said, turned upon the construction to be put on the Act recently passed for abolishing Courts of Request, and the establisbment of County Courts in their stead. There had been a Court of Requests at Nutford, a short distance from St. Albans, and another in St. Alban's. Mr. Ablet, the person on whose behalf he applied to the Court, had held the office of clerk to the St. Albans Court for a period of five-and-twenty years. The new Act abolised both these courts, and the material question was, whether Mr. Ablet was or was not the person entitled to be appointed to the clerkship of the St. Alban's County Court, which comprised within its limits Watford. It was the intention of the House of Commons that the old clerks should be appointed to the new courts. The old courts were abolished two days before the period when the new Act came into operation, so that it might be thatco t e b n e d e h d e d t that no r t e h a e l c o l office t o o f tbheeepapppoiloictaendttwo'atsbeexnteiwnccot, an d When he applied he was told by the judge that he had ap pointed Mr. Gibson to the office. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN inquired if the appointment was in the gift of the judge? Sir FREDERICK THESIGER said the judges were appointed by the Lord Chancellor, and that the clerks were appointed by the judge, subject to the approval of the Lord Chancellor. It' the same system was to be pursued, the greatest hardship would be inflicted upon persons who, like the applicant, had properly discharged their duties for many years ; he hoped, therefore, that the Court would grant the rule, in order that the matter might be argued, and a d e cis ion r calling com e upon Mr. e to, as t o whether his view of the law was correct or incor rec t. Mr. Justice WIGHTM u AN granted a l e, • Gibson to show caurse. COMMON PLE.,is.IIIS DAY.) No case of any importance occurred in this Court to-day. EXCHEQUER—GI:HIS DAY.) (Sittinp in B anco . ) The Court took the special paper to-day, and no case 01 any importance occurred. KRUPTC Y.—( THISBAN DAY.) (Before Mr. Commi,sioner Gouu3unN.) IN RE MATTHKWMAN. This morning th e Governor of Whitecross-street _Prison, and the solicitor to this bankrupt, made au yesterday for his tWgular mature . The insolvent applied a pplication of a A V pr ( , • • . _, .. "\--1- discharge:from custody, having filed his petition. The ap• - . . plication was not opposed, and his Honour granted the pre.' 1 tection, which was produced to the turnkey *hp bad . the , - - ...; insolvent in custody, but he refused to set hitivit liberty . r j - until a search had been made as to whether theAkwers'_,s o Y ' ~-,L. s .' other omits in the hands of the Sheriff. It appeated. tilt" `--," writ had been issued in 1842, but no detainer had bead •;,11,1:4j1i, lodged at th e pri son gates,- aid the question now was. whether the insolvent was not again in custody under this writ. An ord er setting forth the facts, and peremptorilY directing the discharge, was submitted for his Honour's sig nature. His lioxouresaid that some doubts existed even amongst the Learned Judges as to the extent of protection, and seems Mr. Lawrence present, he would be glad to hear his opinion as to theoperation of detainers. Mr. LAWRENCE said, that in the Queen's Bench the War den took no notice of any thing but warrants lodged at tile gates; but the Sheriffs considered that if a cischarge Nega sent for one writ, yet, if they held another, they must de. tain on that or be liable to an action for an a esca p e ;" the keeper, therefore, would not discharge a prisoner if other writs than those mentioned in the discharge were in the hands of the Sheriffs. His Llostoim said there could be no doubt that a detainer ought to have been lodged. The question, however, now was, whether a persOn being detained in custo( y under a writ could be eaimed as in execution. It w'us impossible to try the question aa the gate; a , .d, therefore, he thought as the debt was set forth•in the schedule, the insolvent was entitled to his discharge, but the orde was informal by want of the plaintiff's Christian name; on that being amended he would sign the order. SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (lietore M:. Secowitto Jambs.) DAVIS V. THOMPSON. This was an action to recover the sum of 61. 7s. Bd. on It bill of exchange, of which the defendant was the acceptor. The defendant had, under a Judge's order, admitted that he accepted the bill. Mt. Small, the plaintiff's attorney, said that, notwith standing the admission, he should call a witness to _p_rove that the bill hid been accepted within the city of West minster. The Learned SECONDARY asked what object there could be in that. He did not see how that evidence could be ma terial, as no issue was raised. 71 Mr. &urn said a question might arise under the Local Courts Act, and he wished to have the fact on the Learned Secondary's notes. Evidence was then adduced to the above effect, and a ver dict entered for the plaintiff. TODD v. POOR& This was an action to recover for goods sold and delivered. The defendant had facilitated the proceedings as far as praiticable by not pleading to the action, and was now pre sent, and said that he would save all further trouble by con senting to a verdict for the amount. The Learned SEcoxnAnY—You say you are the de fendant, but how do I know that? Mr. TAyLou, the plaintiff's attorney, said there could not be a shadow of doubt about it. The SEcoarnAnr—Perhaps not; but I must see that there is evidence—proof positive. If you can identify the party as the defendant, well and good; it not, go on with the case. Mr. TAYLOR said he was not prepared with the evidence, considering the defendant's admission would be sufficient. The SRcozinAßY—There is no proof that this person is the defendant ; I cannot swear him to the fact. Any person may come forward to say that to delude the jury. If you cannot carry the case further you must take a verdict for nominal damages, as default of plea only admits that some thing is due, but not the amount. The case was then adjourned. Mr. Taylor proceeding for witnesses—the defendant's desire to save time, trouble, and expense, being completely frustrated. INSOLVENT COURT—(THIS DAY) IN RE THOMAS HLLSON GILES. This insolvent, who had been an extensive omnibus pro prietor, was discharged under the Act in the course of last year. He had only two creditors in his present schedule, one the attorney who had conducted his case in this Court on the former occasion, and the other an attorney, who held a policy of insurance, the premium on which be bad paid, and had sued the insolvent for the money, on which he was now in prison. The insolvent's attorney said that the insolvent, who had been in a large wa y of business, and w as now on l y a d r i ver , might be sued on the policy, of insurance. and put into prison every year on the attorney who held the same paying the yearly sum, and then bringing an action. The insolvent was liable to imprisonment every year if the holder of the policy thought proper. The Court ordered the insolvent to be discharged. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) Elizabeth Woodstock, a pretty looking girl of 15 years of age, was indicted for stealing a silver dessert spoon, the pro perty of the Dowager Lady Mary Molesworth. John Boyle stated that he was in the service of Lady Molesworth, who resided at 'No. 41, Lowndes-street, Bel grave-square, and the prisoner was in the habit of bringing vegetables from the green -grocer's, which she mostly brought down to the kitchen. She had served the house for nearly fourteen months, and until the 24th of May not the slightest suspicion was entertained of her honesty, but on that morn ing the spoon was missed, and information having been given to the police it was instantly traced to the prisoner. A pawnbroker's clerk proved that the prisoner came to his master's shop, and showed him a spoon broken in two parts, wishing to know whether it was silver or not. IVben questioned as to how she became possessed of it, she said first that she found it in Brompton-square, andsubsequently that it had been given to her by a servant. Several persons Who knew the prisoner from her infancy, gave her a most excellent character, and one, in whose ser vice she had been formerly, said she would again take her into her service. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, with a strong re commendation to mercy, and the prisoner was sentenced to ten days' solitary confinement. Margaret. Schdlend was indicted for stealing a gold breast-pin, the property of John Risley, from his person. The prosecutor gave his evidence first, from which it ap peared that he and two other gentlemen were in Goswell street when the prisoner accosted them, and after a few mi nutes' conversation he missed his pin. The pawnbroker with whom the pin was pawned by the prisoner not having answered to his name when called, The Learned AS;ISTANT, JUDGE said the only course open to the jury was to acquit the prisoner on the grounds of de ficiency of evidence. He at the same time should order the pawnbroker's recognisances to be estreated, and at the same time he should take care that the estreat was fully carried out. The prosecutor inquired whether he might get back his pin or not. The policeman stated that he only held the duplicate; the pawnbroker had the pin. The ASSISTANT-JCDGE could render him no assistance. The prosecutor—My Lord, this has been a most unlucky case for me. Yesterday, whilst waiting in the court in expectation of the case being called on, my pocket was picked of my handkerchief, my pocket-book, and several papers of consequence to me, and now it seems, owing to the carelessness of the pawnbroker, I am also likely to lose my gold pin. I thought at all events that my property would be safe while I was within the walls of your Lord ski's court.—(A laugh.) 'the AssisTnicr-Jtinci expressed his regret at the loss of kr. Risley, but said he could afford him no redress. The prosecutor then left the court. THAMES.-(THIS DAY.) Henry Jones Harrison, a general dealar, residing at Dan stan's-place, Stepney, and who, it was stated, was formerly in the police-force, was charged with having kicked and ill used his wife, in so brutal a manner, that she was now dying from the effects of the injuries received. Sarah Hicks stated, that on Saturday fortnight she ac companied the unfortunate woman home. When they entered, Mr. Harrison was asleep in a chair. He immediately got up, and without the slightest provocation, kicked his wife most brutally in the stomach, and gave her several violent blows, She fell to the ground, exclaiming, "Oh, my God, Harrison, you have murdered me." She was immediately conveyed to bed, and has been under the care of Dr. Cleland since, but she has gradually sank from the effects of the injuries she received, and in consequence of Dr. Cleland being of opinion that it was impossible she could survive, the prisoner was ail. prehended yesterday evening. Dr. Cleland confirmed this evidence as to the extent of the injuries indicted, and added that, in his opinion, it was utterly impossible she could recover, and he apprehended, almost immediate dissolution. -- Mr. BALLArs-rixx then ordered the prisoner to be locked up till the result was known, and directed Inspector Horn, accompanied by Dr. Cleland and two policemen, to go to the prisoner's residence and take the depositions of the dying woman, and also cautioned the inspector to be particular in endeavouring to ascertain what previous cause of quarrel, if any, existed; and, in short, to make the most minute in quiries into the affair, as at present there was no evidence of any ground for so brutal an assault. Tha prisoner was then locked up.
