The Right Honourable the Lords of the C.ommittee of of the Privy Cou nc il f or T ra d e an d Pl an t a tions have re csived a despatch from her Majesty's Consul at Rotterdam, inclosing translations of various notices to Mariners issued by the Minister of the Netherlands Marine Department, relative to changes in sea marks, copies of which are sub joined. (By order) T. H. FARRER. (Copy.) NOTICE TO MARINERS: The Minister of Marine hereby gives notice that on ac count of the change which has taken place in the Friesche Sea Gat, the outside buoy and the outer buoys have been placed more eastward, and the number diminished by a black and a white buoy, so that at present the white flag buoy is the fourth white buoy on entering v • that likewise the painted buoy, indicating the Sea Gat, has been substi tuted by a red anchor-shaped buoy with a basket top. This red anchor-shaped buoy is placed inloopalms depth, in the following bearings : The large lighthouse at Schiermonnikoog, S. E. The large lighthouse at the Englishman's Bank, S.W. S. The bearings in which this buoy, coming from sea can be recognised, are : the steeple of Weiram in three, with the lighthouses on the Englishman's Bank, (namely Wei ram, to the west of the small lighthouse). The outside Ist black buoy lies in 42 palms depth, and in these bearings : The large lighthouse at Schiermonnikoog, S. to E. E. The large lighthouse at the Englishman's Bank, S.W. to W. The outside Ist white buoy lies in 45 palms depth, bear ing The large lighthouse at Schiermonnikoog, S. to E. The large lighthouse at the Englishman's Bank, S.W. i S. and on the mark, the steeple of Weiram, in the auar►z, zne steeple of small lighthouse on the Englishman's Bank. The course to be followed is S.W. to W., from the red buoy to the 4th buoy, as near as possible in the middle of the channel. The shallowest sounding at the entrance of the Channel is from 33 to 35 palms, it is shallowest along the white buoys No change has taken place in the buoys farther inland. It must be borne in mind that with northerly winds and ebb tide, the navigation between the outer buoys is gene rally very difficult and the sea very rough. It is very diffi cult to enter with south-westerly winds at flood tide. The bearings are taken by unadjusted compass, and the sound ings at ordinary low water. Ere long buoys will likewise be placed in the Middle Gat, of which further notice will be given. The Hague, the 18th of August, 1853. The Minister aforementioned. (Signed) T. ENSLIE. (Co MARINERS. The TO The Minister of Marine hereby gives notice, in connexion with sundry former notices, that, for better observation at sea, large anchor-shaped beacon buoys have been placed as outer buoys in most of the mouths of rivers in the king dom, furnished with a crown or top basket, and more es pet:daily— Outside the North-east Friesche Sea Gat. „ „ North-east.

ENSUE. - - (Co py.) NOTICE TO MARINERS. The Minister of Marine hereby gives notice, that, for the better indication of the Eyerland Shallows, a lighthouse has now been erected on the Robbebol (west point or Horst of Flieland), as also a screen on the Texel Downs near the Koog. It is considered useful for the general benefit of naviga tion to repeat and make known the following, as a con tinuation to the notices regarding those shallows, dated the 16th April and 27th October, 1852. 1. The depth at five fathoms water, at ordinary low water, extends along that part of the coast, from opposite the Koog on Texel, along the Eyerland Shallows, to oppo site Flieland, about N.E. and S.W. to N.E. by E., and S.W. by W. (per compass) and especially : a. In the W.S.W. from the screen near the Koog, at the distance of half a German mile. b. Along the west coast of the iierland Shallows in the W.N.W. at of a mile distance from the look-out post, in the Downs of Eyerland ; c. In the W.N.W. at fully half a mile distance from the lighthouse of the Robbebol ; d. And in the N.N.E. at nearly two-thirds of a mile distance from the above-mentioned lighthouse ; 2. The screen has been placed in the Downs of Texel, near the Koog, for the better, surer, and quicker observa tion of the island Texel, and as a warning for the Eyer land Shallows ; the lighthouse on the Robbebol, (Horst or west end of Flieland), has been erected for the same pur pose, as also to make ships keep further off the coast at this point. 3. The screen is placed on the Down near the Koog, bearing N.E. by E., and S.W. by W., about 30 Nether land ells above high water ; and in shape resembles the roof of a house. 4. The lighthouse on the west corner of the Robbebol, is placed 18 Netherland ells above highest water, and re mains dry in ordinary spring tides. This light is furnished with two oval screens, the one bearing N.E. and S.W., and the other N.W. and S.E. This part of the coast is generally approached far too closely, especially by small ships and ignorant parties, and Very_ great risk is incurred by sa ili ng near th e coast an d s I lows ; ev en i n fi ne weat h er with the wind off land, h!).ships as well by day and night are very apt to run aground or out o f th eir course with squally weather and by the mis guofittencreivoefr.the currents along the coast and at the mouth 1 sids.

The first general meeting of this company was held last week at Llanidloes, Mr. G. H. Whalley in the chair. The report stated that the act for the incorporation of the company received the Royal assent on the 4th of August last. So soon as the land is clear of corn the line will be marked out, the purchase of the land will then be made, and the works will be contracted for. A company is in course of formation, and surveys are in progress, for a line from Newtown to Shrewsbury, by way of the Rea Valley. The directors do not hesitate to express their opinion that the Rea Valley line to Shrewsbury would be the best line for the company, because it would be the best for the public. As regards the North and South Wales line from Llanidloes to Mil ford Haven, the directors have no hesitation in recom mending their shareholders to afford that company, both individually and collectively, the utmost co-operation. The directors are assured that the Parliamentary and all the other preliminary expenses of obtaining the act are not likely to exceed 2,5001. The estimated traffic on the line amounts to 8,2501., and the working ex penses to 50 per cent., leaving a balance of 4,1251., being nearly 7 per cent. on 60,0001., the required capital. The estimate is made solely upon calculations of the present local traffic between the towns of Llanidloes and Newtown. The qualifications of a director is the pos session in his own right of 25 shares in the company. The report of Mr. R. Hopkins, the engineer, stated that the estimate for the works is 48,0001., and for the land, act, and contingencies 12,0001., the length of the line being about 12 miles. He expresses his entire con fidence in the sufficiency of the estimates, provided the works be laid out with judgment and economy, and be let, by competition, to satisfactory contractors. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the meeting upon the success which had attended their exertions in obtaining their aot of incor poration. He then entered into a description of the va rious schemes that had been projected in connection with their line, some of which were rejected by Parlia ment in the late session. The directors were desirous of seeing their line extended at both ends, and they were glad to be able to state that projects were then before the public for accomplishing those objects. There was a project which had been suggested to the directors for extending the line from Llanidloes to Llangwrig, a dis tance of five miles. It was the most practical mode of meeting the wishes of the North and South Wales Com pany, and it would give the finishing stroke to the Machynlleth line. Their line would be a trunk line, which would throw out its branches and extensions to Aberystwith, Rhayader, and Milford Haven. Mr. W. LEFEAUX, deputy chairman, seconded the adoption of the report, which was carried unanimously. On the motion of Mr. JONES, seconded by Mr. REES, a resolution was passed requesting the directors to take steps for the prosecution of an extension line rom Llandiloes to Llangwrig in the next session of Parliament. Resolutions were passed electing Messrs. G. H. Whalley, W. Lefeaux, T. E. Marsh, J. Lefeaux, E. Cleaton, W. Cleaton, R. Holmes, T. Davis, E. Jones, W. Lloyd, T. Prickard, E. Williams, and T. F.

Dargan, and it is expected the y will be completed in about 18 months from the present time. This line is to form a junction with the proposed railway from Cavan to Armagh, which, when made, will complete the direct communication by railway from Belfast to Galway, and thus open up a large district of country—on the one hand to the Midland Great Western Railway, and on the other to the Ulster Railway. The former line is open to Galway, and the latter to Belfast.

Province of Santander.—From the 19th of November next a new lighthouse, established on the tower of the Castle of Santa Anna, will be lighted every night from sunset to sunrise. Its distance from the line of level of the sea waters is 52 feet, Burgos measure, and the rocks on which the hermitage of sure, and the rocks, on which the hermitage of Santa Anna is situated extend them selves, in the south-easteern direction, to the distance of 318 feet. This lighthouse in -43° 24' 10" N. latitude, and 2° 56' 10" E. longitude from the Observatory of San Fernando. Its apparatus is of the fifty catadioptrical ordord, with a fixed light, varied with red fl a shes every three minutes, and illuminates an arch of the horizon of 270 dogs. This light's elevation above the level of the sea is of 143 feet, and pro duces a tangent of 13 miles ; but it will be visible from a greater or minor distance, according to the ste of the at mospere and the elevation of the observer.

In a moment of temporary depression like the present, it is pleasant - to be presented with one of those well authenticated official records which show how steadily the United Kingdom is increasing in wealth and com merce, and how increasingly needful the products of British skill and industry are becoming every year to the whole civilised world. Such a return has just been published, from which it appears that the value of the exports of British manufactures, in the year 1852, was upwards of seventy-eight millions sterling (78,076,8541.) On comparing the exports of 1852 with those of 1822 (36,966,0231.), we find an increase of upwards of forty one millions ; with those of 1832 (36,450,5941.), we find a somewhat greater increase, and with those of 1842 (47,381,0231.), we find an increase of thirty-one millions. These facts not only show an increase of upwards of forty millions in the value of our exports in thirty years, but also show that the rate of increase has been accelerated threefold during the last ten years. Wonderful as this rate of increase is, it is small compared with the present rate, which is not half-a-million a year, as the rate of increase was from 1822 to 1842 ; nor about a million a year, as it was from 1832 to 1842 ; nor even a trifle more than three millions a year, as it was from 1842 to 1852 ; but seven millions in the first half of the preent year. Even allowing this rate of increase to be very greatly reduced by subsequent returns, it shows a vigour of industry and an extent of commerce at the present time, which render all previous examples of improvement insignificant. On examining the items of which the sum total of seventy-eight millions of exports is formed, they encou rage us to hope for a future rate of increase not less ex traordinary than thejpresent. The whole exports are as follows :- 1. British Possessions and settlements £ India . Australia 4,222,205 North America 3,065,364 West Indies 1,908,552 South Africa Hong Kong 585,355 Channel Islands 564,453 Gibraltar 510,889 Malta Mauritius 229,693 lonian Islands 138,642 Honduras 31,760 20,686 7,792 60 —20,082,314 ..16,567,737 Ascension and St Helena Aden Falkland Islands Heligoland 2.

There are several branches of the colonial trade which are capable of great extension. The Indian trade is one of these. It is a trade with a country containing a hundred millions of people, and capable of producing every kind of tropical produce. What is chiefly wanted to increase the commerce with India is improved meaas of transport from the interior, to bring down to Bombay, Calcutta, and Madras, cheaply and rapidly, what is now brought slowly and expensively on the backs of camels and buffaloes. The Indian railways, which are in progress, and of which one length has been opened, will supply this, and will probably double the trade of India within ten years after they are completed. The rise of Australia is the wonder of the age. Last year the land of gold and fleeces took 4,222,2051. worth of British goods. It is impossible to tell what it will take from us this year ; but it is supposed that it will supply us with nearly fifteen millions in gold, besides two or three millions in wool. In a year or two the exports from Australia to England will be of the value of twenty millions, and its imports will bear some fair proportion to its exports. This is a trade which may reasonably be expected to increase for the next hundred years, probably for the next five hundred. It is a trade with a country nearly as large as Europe, anti possess ing greater riches than Mexico and Peru possessed in the days of their greatest wealth. British America, though differing from Australia in all things, except in the fact of its being in the hands of the same vigorous and enterprising race, possesses scarcely smaller resources. Canada has the best situated river in the world, with corn fields and forests of un bounded extent. Her Government is in the bands of the Canadians, as completely as the Government of the British islands is in the hands of the British people ' • and, freed from all grounds of diff erence w ith th e home Government, she is proceeding to develope her resources, with the aid of British capital. The railways which are now forming in Canada will soon double her pros perity by rendering the valley of the St. Lawrence the great line of personal and commercial intercourse with the interior of America. The present high price of grain in England and Europe will give an additional impulse to the cultivation of Canada ; as the increased consumption, the liberal price of timber, and the demand for ships, have given a similar impulse to the timber and shipbuilding trades of all the North American colonies. The West Indian colonies have seen both their best and their worst days. . _ _ South Africa will gradually become a flourishing coun try, with a great trade. It has extensive resources for grazing sheep and cattle ; and, from the geological re semblance of its soil to that of Australia, it will probably be found to contain gold and copper in abundance. The vicinity of the warlike Kafir tribes is its most serious drawback. The other British possessions are small in extent, and are rather naval and military positions than colonies. Hong Kong is a fortress, and a naval position,iopro tect the commerce with China ; its commerce depends on the commerce of that country. The Channel Islands are also naval positions of some importance, but their commerce cannot increase to any great extent. Gibral tar is the key to the Mediterranean ; but its commerce will be of little importance, if the Spanish Government should adopt a more liberal commercial policy, and so put down smuggling. Malta is the citadel of the Medi terranean, and one of the keys of the overland route to India. Its value to the commerce of the East is very great, though its own commerce must, like itself, be small. The Mauritius, though small in extent, is both a valuable colony and a most important naval position. The lonian Islands are also valuable, and would become much more so, if this country should have the misfortune to be involved in a war with Austria or Russia. They command the Adriatic. Their commerce is steady, but does not admit of any very great extension. Honduras will become a place of importance as the trade across the Isthmus increases. Its fine woods are, and always will be, valuable articles of commerce. Ascension and St. Helena will become coaling stations of great import ance, in keeping up the steam communication with Austra lia. Aden, though nothing but a rock in itself; possesses one of the finest harbours in the world, and is invaluable as a means of keeping up the intercourse with India, by way of Egypt. The Falkland Islands will probably become of importance in establishing a steam communi cation from Brazil and the River Plate to Chili and Peru. They may become as valuable to England as Gibraltar, se I v eess,s the r means s o t h f e commercial greatness greatly ext w e j t d h i n i n g t t h r e with foreign whilst.)ecountries. of twenty millions, to the colonies a mou n t to upwards fifty-eight millions- -a those to f ore i gn coun t r i es amoun t t o have committed 8--a Blear p roo f th a t thi s coun t ry wou ld sacrifice the trade of the blund er if it h a d consen t e d t o nies. the world f or th e tra d e o f t h e co l o - The most flourishing and extensive r eign trade is th a t w i th the United bran c h o f our fo nitd States. It is pdiffi cult to assign any limit t o the probable which already amounts to upwards s e extent of a trad e f and a half, and which is increasing ato t h sixteen millions mil lion or two year by year. The deman d for rate of a for grain and flour will give a great impulse to the trade with the United States this year, as it has done every year since the repeal of the corn-laws. 'We now take everything from the United States on the most liberal terms, ex cept the one article of tobacco ; and as the American Treasury is overflowing with wealth, we may reasonably expect that the commerce between the two countries will be still further facilitated by a reduction of the duties on British manufactures. There is no reason why the trade between England and the United States should not double itself in the next dozen years, supposing peace to continue, of which it forms the best security. Next to the United States, in the extent of its com merce with this country, is Germany—and Germany, besides receiving credit for nearly eight millions worth of goods sent into German ports, ought also to receive it for a considerable part of the four millions worth of goods sent to Holland, a large part of which find their way up the Rhine into Germany. Probably ten mil lions would be nearer the amount of goods sent into Germany than eight millions. Corn, timber, and wool are the pricipal returns received by us from Germany ; and as the demand for all these articles is rapidly in creasing in England—and as they are all received on liberal terms—we may reaso na bly l oo k f or a grea t in crease of trade with that country. There is, no doubt, a considerable trade with Holland itself, but certainly not so great a trade as appears from the returns, nor does it present the prospect of any great increase. The trade with Brazil, which is already large, will be larger as the population i ncreases. Th e so il i s unsur passed in fertility, and numerous magnificent rivers fa cilitate intercourse with the interior. Such a country, in the hands of the English or Americans, would pos sess five, if not ten, times the amount of trade which Brazil now possesses. The narrow commercial policy of France is now the only obstacle to the doubling of the trade with England ; and, though personal interest an d p opu l ar pre j u di ce may sustain that policy for a few years longer, yet it must go before long. The extent of the trade of Turkey, Wallachia, and Moldavia with England is very considerable, and to this ought to be added the trade with the Turkish provinces of Egypt and Syria. This is the natural result of the very liberal commercial principles adopted by the Turk ish Government. 'lf the present difficulties should blow over, this trade will increase, but a war would put an end to it at once. The commercial policy of Russia is, in every respe ct, the very opposite of that of Turkey, and it the exports of British goods to Russia have dwindled to a mere trifle. The policy of Russia is to produce dear and bad goods at home, rather than to buy cheap goods of supe rior quality abroad, and to take nothing from foreigners except gold. This is precisely the policy which Spain followed for three centuries, and under which she sank from wealth to poverty. She received three-fourths of the gold brought into Europe, and yet became poorer every year from the benumbing influence of monopoly and exclusion. Well-directed, profitable industry, is the only true of wealth, and that can never exist under a system of restrictions and protections, which destroys all wholesome competition. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—Sept. 22. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Crompton.) ASSAULTING WITH VITRIOL. Ebenezer Allen, 22, a miserable-looking object, pleaded guilty to a charge of throwing a quantity of oil of vitriol upon Robert Atkinson Kirby, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Mr. Sleigh, who was instructed to prosecute on the part of the parish of Marylebone, stated that the offence to which the prisoner had pleaded guilty was committed under the following circumstances :—The prisoner bad applied to the parish authorities for relief, but as he was known as a person who would not work, the returning officer refused to give him anything. He went away, and it appeared that he then purchased the oil of vitriol, and watched about the workhouse until the prosecutor came out, when he went up to him and threw the vitriol upon him, and it burned and injured him very severely. The learned counsel added that the unfortunate prose cutor had had nothing to do with the refusal of relief to the prisoner, and in fact, he had never spoken to him, but there was no doubt that the prisoner had watched about with the deliberate determination to do injury to some person or other connezted with the parish. Mr. Justice Crompton, in passing sentence, said the prisoner had committed a very bad offence, and it was not to be tolerated that, because relief was refused to a person in the condition of the prisoner, he was to resort to a diabolical act of this description. He might have blinded the unfortunate prosecutor, or even have de stroyed his life, by throwing this deadly ingredient upon him, and it was highly necessary for the sake of example, that such an act should receive severe punishment. He then sentenced the prisoner to be kept for four years in penal servitude. A MAN ABOUT TOWN. Frederick Herbert, 41, described as a labourer, but of stylish appearance, and wearing a moustache, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with forging a cheque for 321. 10s., and also with having been pre viously convicted of felony. The prisoner, it will be remembered, obtained some goods from Mr. Faleke, a tradesman in Oxford-street, representing himself to be the Hon. F. Cholmondeley, and gave a cheque in payment, signed in that name. The prisoner is a well-known "man about town," and in 1847 he was convicted of felony, and sentenced to be transported for seven years. The Court sentenced the prisoner to be transported for fourteen years. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) ATTEMPT AT EXTORTION BY A BOY. John Youard, 14, servant, was indicted for feloniously accusing Joseph Kahn of an unnatural crime, with in tent to extort from him the sum of 1001. Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Parry prosecuted ; and Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prisoner, who is a respectable looking youth. Mr. Ballantine having stated the case to the jury, called The prosecutor, who is proprietor of the celebrated anatomical museum in Regent-street, and the substance of his evidence, which is unfit for detail in full, went to prove that he took the prisoner into his service to drive a horse and chaise and deliver bills of the exhibition. The prisoner came to him in a very destitute state, and prosecutor kindly forwarded him a few pounds to buy what he required, he (prosecutor) finding him a living. After he had been a short time in prosecutor's employ ment, he complained of being unwell, and was in conse quence absent from his employment. When he came back he again complained of being unwell, and Dr. Kahn then gave orders that he should be attended to by a me dical gentleman, who could not find that anything was the matter with him, and they thought that he was only pre tending to be unwell to avoid his work. After some time the prisoner told the prosecutor that he was unwell in consequence of what he (prosecutor) had done to him; and then, much to the surprise of the prosecutor, he made the charge in question, which is unfit for publica tion. The prosecutor was much excited at hearing such a statement, and asked the boy who had instigated him to make such an infamous charge ; but he denied that any one had done so, and persisted in his statement, and ultimately said that he had heard through the papers that a boy at Birmingham had got 3001. out of a person to suppress a charge of a similar character. The prose cutor finally consented to come to some arrangement, and having consulted the police, the result was that at the interview, when the prosecutor, as prisoner thought, was about to accede to his terms, some of the police were hidden in the room, so that the whole conversation could he overheard. A written agreement was then drawn up, and signed by the prisoner, by which he bound himself not to further annoy Dr. Kahn if 501. was paid down, and a further 50/. at some future period. As soon as the prisoner had signed the paper, the police came from their hiding place, and prisoner then fell upon his knees, and begged forgiveness, at once admitting that the whole charge was untrue, and entreated for his father's sake that the charge would not be pressed. The prosecutor, who was most minutely cross-exa mined by Mr. Clarkson, firmly and positively de nied each of the particular portions of the impropriety imputed to him, and most distinctly asserted that he had never in any way at all touched the prisoner, or had ever to his knowledge been in the company of the prisoner without some other person being present. The statements made by the prosecutor were fully borne out by the other witnesses. Mr. Clarkson, on behalf of the prisoner, said the posi tion he was placed in was a very painful one, as he felt, after hearing the evidence given by the prosecutor, that he was in every particular speaking the truth. Still it became his duty to put certain questions, and he thought it better that he had done so, as it had given him the opportunity of answering them ; and after he (Mr. Clarkson) had heard him answer some half-dozen inter rogatories, he felt it was no part of his duty to further press the defence, and therefore, consistent with his duty, he should retire, considering he had done all that a coun sel was called upon to do. Still he could not account for the motive which had led the prisoner, who was very young, to make so heinous a charge. Mr. Baron Martin said Mr, Clarkson had acted in a manner perfectly consistent and honourable, and he (the learned judge) had allowed the case to go to a greater length than was necessary to ensure the prisoner's con viction, in order that a man in his prosecutor's position should have a full opportunity of clearing his charact er , and he felt bound to say that he had en ti re l y d one so , and that there was not the slightest ground for the im putation which bad been cast upon him, The jury found the prisoner guilty. Mr. Clarkson said that up to June the prisoner had been kept at school, and had run away from there and from his parents, and proposed to call his father. Mr. Baron Martin said that, if be did, it would not alter his view of the sentence he was about to pass. Such cases called for the utmost severity of the law. After some further remarks, he ordered him to be trans ported for the term of his natural life.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—,Tohn Ealey and William Hayes (the latter a pugilist) were placed at the bar, on suspicion of stealing a gold watch, &c. The charge was preferred by two young gentlemen from Scotland, who, after spending the whole of Wed nesday evening at the " Coal Hole," " Cyder Cellars," " Evans's," and similar places of resort, arrived at a late hour at the Bell public-house, corner of Exeter-street, and joined the miscellaneous company in the smoking room of that establishment. Both admitted they were " tolerably advanced," and the inspector declared they were decidedly drunk—indeed, one of them, a Mr. Houston, seemed hardly to have recovered possession of his entire faculties while in the witness-box. It appeared that soon after they had reached the Bell the prosecutor missed his watch, upon which he called in a policeman, and desired him to take everybody in the room (more than a dozen persons) into custody. The officer sug gested the impropriety of this sweeping measure, but said he would not object to apprehend any one or two of the party whom they might reasonably suspect of having committed the robbery. The two prisoners were finally selected from the group, and conducted to the station-house ; but the only "suspicious circumstances" that the prosecutor and his companion could adduce against them were the facts that Hayes wanted to con verse and bet with them, and Ealey was found to have three sovereigns in his stockings--a place which his soli citor, Mr. Robinson, informed the Court was invariably selected by country people in London for the safe keep ing of their money. Inspector Dodd thought it right to state that when he went to the public-house he found it in possession of a sheriff's officer, who appeared to be conducting the business, in the absence of the landlord, in the loosest possible manner. _ Mr. Hall said he could not think of detaining the prisoners upon this evidence. The prosecutor said he was perfectly in his senses, although he had crtainly been drinking. Mr. Hall— Our invariable experience here is that ex cessive drinking sharpens the intellect. A man is never more thoroughly competent to go into details, accord ing to his own showing, than when he is proved to have been dead drunk. The prisoners are discharged. A respectable looking young man, named _Henry Dowers, was charged with embezzling moneys due to his employer, Mr. It. Granger, law stationer. Mr. Fisher, the counsel for the prisoner, endeavoured to show that there was a partnership agreement, by which a portion of the profits of a business carried on by the prosecutor for the benefit of Dowers' mother (a widow) and himself, was payable to them. The prisoner was committed for trial. Henry Evans and John Armstrong, each nine years of age only, were brought up for re-examination, charged with stealing a numb er o f car t s and horses, donkeys, costermongers barrows, &o. They prisoners, although mere infants in appear ance were proved to have been in the habit of steal ing the same kind of property for more than three years past. Their practice was to tout for employ ment, such as holding horses' heads, &c., in the vici nity of garden markets and railway stations, and to take the first opportunity of leading away the animals, and disposing of whatever merchandise the carts or vans may have been loaded with. The present evidence went to show that they agreed to take care of a donkey-cart full of vegetables, in Covent-garden market, for a penny ; and when the owner's back was turned they went off with the load, sold the vegetables in the neighbourhood of Tottenham-court-road, and ultimately, at night, left the empty cart and donkey in the middle of Fitzroy square. In another case it was shown that they had obtained possession of a coal-cart at the Great Northern Station by the same manceuvre, and then, after selling the coals, drove the vehicle into Copenhagen-fields, and left it there. WORSHIP-STREET.—Mr. Hammill was occupied for a considerable time in the investigation of numerous summonses, issued at the instance of the parochial au thorities of St. Luke's against the owners and occupiers of houses in that parish for having unlawfully permitted and suffered various nuisances, which were alleged to be highly prejudicial t o th e health of the surrounding neigh bourhood, to exist on their respective premises. Mr. Allbery, from the office of the vestry clerk of St. Luke's, conducted the prosecution, and several guardians and other gentlemen connected with the local sanitary committee were in attendance to watch the proceedings. The first complaint was preferred against Mr. James Bartlett London, the proprietor of considerable house hold property in the neighbourhood of Whitecross-street. Mr. Henry Legge, the relieving officer of St. Luke's, stated that, during the last three weeks, pursuant to directions he had received from the sanitary committee, he had repeatedly visited a housein White's-yard, White cross-street, belonging to the defendant, at the rear of which was an inclosed yard, about twelve feet square, which was covered with foul and stagnant water of the most pestilential description. In one of the corners of the yard was a dilapidated privy, the cesspool of which was constantly overflowing, having no communication whatever with the external sewers or any kind of drain age. The stench arising from the place was of the most noxious and offensive character, and had so seriously affected the health of a poor lapidary and his family who occupiaal a small room abutting on the yard, that his wife was a short time since attacked with typhus fever and removed into the workhouse, where she died soon after her admission. One of the man's sons had since been admitted into the workhouse, and was now lying in a dangerous state from a similar attack, and on visit ing the place that morning, witness ascertained that another of the children had also been prostrated by the same terrible complaint. Witness added that during the last visitation of cholera several fatal cases occurred in the court in question, which was solely attributed to the pestilential state of the surrounding atmosphere. In answer to the charge, the defendant said that all his efforts to keep the place in a clean and wholesome state were completely neutralized by the entire want of sewerage, but if he were allowed further time, he would do all that lay in his power to obviate the cause of com plaint with as little delay as possible. Mr. Hammill said that he would allow him forty-eight hours for that purpose, and if he failed to effect the total suppression of the nuisance at the expiration of that period, it would immediately be carried out by the parish autholities at the expense of the defendant, whom he should require in the meantime to pay all the costs of the present prosecution. Mr. James Tones, an ironfounder, in Goswell-street, was next summoned for a similar offence. In this case it was proved by Mr. Legge, the relieving officer, that the defendant was the owner of a house in Brick-lane, in which there was a large privy inside the dwelling, the cesspool of which discharged its contents into a capacious hole immediately adjoining, and which, he was informed, had not been cleaned out for the last seven years. The noxious exhalations arising from the place were of an intolerable description ; and although the mouth of the receptacle in question was closely covered, a portion of the putrid matter had forced its way underneath the flooring of the adjacent rooms, one of which was occasionally occupied by a body of tee totallers as their place of meeting. The defendant's agent, who appeared to answer the complaint, having undertaken to take the necessary stepts for the immediate abatement of the nuisance, the summons was ordered to stand over until Saturday next. Several other cases of the same description were after wards proceeded with, in the majority of which the several defendants were imperatively ordered to abate the nuisance complained of within forty-eight hours. . CLERKENWELL.—Joseph, Merryfield, a cabriolet driver, in the employ of Mr. Blakewell, the cab pro prietor, appeared to a summons to answer the com plaint of Mr. Edgar Yarrow, of Albion-road, Holloway, for having demanded and taken more than his legal fare. Mr. Yarrow said that on Saturday last he hired the defendant's vehicle from the stand near the terminus of the South-Western Railway, when he ordered him to drive to the corner of Marchmont-street, Tavistock square, and from thence to Chichester-place, King's cross. On their arrival, defendant set him down, on which witness handed him ls. 6d., when he demanded and took 2s. He then directed him to drive to the nearest station-house in Bagnigge-wells road, this court being closed at the time, when the inspector took down the particulars, and referred them to the magistrate, the defendant promising to appear on the Monday following. Complainant appeared, but defendant did not, and a summons was granted against him. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked defendant what he had to say ? Defendant—lt was three miles, your worship. Mr. Tyrwhitt—How do you make out the three miles? Defendant—By driving to the station-house. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l doubt very much, under the 18th section of the statute, you ought to be paid for driving to the station-house. Defendant-1 can only say that from the South- Western Railway, in the Waterloo-road, to the Great Northern Railway, is three miles. I came through Burton-crescent and Judd-street, in consequence of the roads being under repair and blocked up, which length ened the distance. Mr. Yarrow felt confident the defendant had taken more than he was entitled to, and he pressed for the 40s. penalty under the act of Parliament. These cabmen were in the habit of playing with the public in this way, and they ought to be checked. He had been put to great inconvenience, expense, and trouble, through de fendant's not appearing on Monday. Mr. Tyrwhitt said they had there a map of the Ord nance survey, which could be measured with compasses, but it had been proved to have been wrong. He should suggest that the ground should be measured—a foot would answer the purpose of a cabman. If the ground was to be measured, each party should deposit as. which would be forfeited by the p ar t y i n the wrong. , (To the defendant)—Have you got ss. to put down ? Defendant—l have not, your worship. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Then I shall adjourn the case in order to give you an opportunity to produce as. to have the ground measured. Defendant—l would rather you would settle the matter at once, as it is a very close point. Mr. Blakewell (the master)—l think it is a very close point, your worship, too. I would rather give the case up, and have it settled at once. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Then, under the circumstances, I shall order the defendant to return the sixpence, and to pay 2s. the cost of the summons. Mr. Tyrwhitt, with re ference to the measurement as to the map (as our reporter understood), said he should propose that a Government officer should be appointed for measuring, which would save great expense, and all the inconve nience of dep os i t i ng money for the ' purpose. Andrew Watson Taylor, chronometer maker, of Perci val-street, Clerkenwell, was fined 405., or a months' im prisonment ; William Monks, tailor, of 46, Bear-yard, Lincoln's-inn -fields, was committed to prison, with hard labour, for three months ; and Richard Law, an American for one month's hard labour, for indecently exposing their persons in the publio thoroughfares to females, in Clarkenwell and Islington. THAMES.—Conrad Worrack, 44, and Peter Tans dale, 45, were charged with "playing music" in the Commercial-road to the danger of the passengers, and refusing to depart when ordered by the complainant. Mr. Richard Lyddon, farina manufacturer, No. 53, Broad-st., Rateliff, who was coming to his place of busi ness from Camberwell, his lady being in the carriage at the time. On crossing White Horse-street, there was a number of musicians playing on various intru ments, his horse, a rather sprightly animal, startled at the noise, and his lady became nervous. He accord ingly got out of the carriage, and requested the musicians to move on, but they became exceedingly offensive, and refused to do so. Mr. Ingham—Did any householder in the neighbour hood complain of this as a nuisance ? Mr. Lyddon—Not than I am aware of. Mr. Ingham—Then I suspect the case does not come within my jurisdiction. The act requires that complaint should be made by some householder, either by himself or through his servant, and then, if good cause be shown, and they should refuse to leave, they are liable to a fine. Is there any householder here ? _ A person in the court here came forward, and pre sented himself as such. Mr. Ingham—Do you complain of these people ? Not all ; I am pleased with their visits. Mr. Ingham—Then they are discharged. SPURTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-THURSDAY.
