Newcastle Guardian. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—Sept. 12. The September general session of the peace for the eounty of 'Middlesex commenced this morning at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell-green. The calendar con tained the names of 63 prisoners for trial, 52 being in dicted for felony, and 10 with misdemeanour. The Assistant-Judge, in charging the grand jury, re marked on the lightness of the calendar, notwithstand ing the length of time that had elapsed since the last session. This diminution was very gratifying, but it was not to be attributed to any particular cause, but to a combination of circumstances. Many of the per sons by whom offences were committed were now at harvest-work, hop-gathering, and other like employ ment. Offences that were numerous six years ago were now but rare, but he was almost afraid they would be again on the increase. ROBBERY FROM THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Henry Clayton, 28, William Hewett, 17, and John Nethercott, 42, were severally indicted, Henry Clapson and William Hewett for stealing two codfish and three haddocks, the property of the Great Northern Railway Company, their masters ; and John Nethercott for fe loniously receiving the said cod fish , well knowing . them to have been stolen. It appeare d that the prisoners, who acted in the capacity of ca rmen, had a key which opened the fish boxes, and in t his wa y they committed the robbery. Mr. Thomas Williams s uperintendent of the Great Northern Railway police , said neither of the carmen had any right to the possession of such a key. The boxes were locked at Great Grimsby, from which place the cod fish were sent, and a corresponding key was kept by the agent in London. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Clap son and Hewett, and acquitted Nethercott. The Assistant -Judge said that the two prisoners had been placed by . the company in offices of trust, in con sequence of their previous good character, and they had taken the advantage of that good character for the pur pose of plundering their employers. If the sentence he was now about to pass did not have the effect of stop ping these robberies by railway servants, he would here after increase the punishment until he arrived at that sentence that should prevent offences of this sort. He then sentenced them to imprisonment and hard labour for 12 calendar months. ROBBERY AT THE LONDON AND BLACKWALL RAILWAY. John Callahan, 22, was indicted for stealing a purse and le. 6d., the property and moneys of Henry Redpath, from the person of Grace Redpath. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutrix was at the Stepney station of the Blackwall Railway on the 31st ult., waiting for the train to London. Whilst there the prisoner pushed up against her, and shortly afterwards she missed her purse from her pocket. The attention of the guard of the train was drawn to him, who observed him raise his hand, and, from the jerking motion, he appeared to throw something behind him. A search of the place was then made, and the purse was found. He was then taken into custody on suspicion of the robbery. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The Assistant-Judge said the prisoner was a well known member of the " swell mob," and had been fre quently in prison. He then sentenced him (under the new act) to penal servitude for four years. Henry Jackson, police-serjeant, said two of the pri soner's companions were sentenced to ten years' trans portation, for a similar robbery committed at Cambridge, a short time ago. A NEW DEVICE FOR ROBBING.—James Phillips, 18, and _Henry Mackenzie, 18, were indicted for having stolen a watch, the property of William Edmonds, in his dwelling-house. On the 18th of last month the pri soners entered the shop of the prosecutor, who is an umbrella maker, in East-road, Hoxton, Mackenzie ask- ing Miss Edmonds for a fish-hook. While she was in the act of giving it to him, a third boy, bearing a C 31.- pet-bag, also came into the shop. He placed his bag on a stove in the shop, and took from it a live pigeon, and, going up to the parlour door, asked Mrs. Edmonds if it was not a good one, and said something about flying it. The pigeon was soon after let loose, and it flying up the staircase one of the boys and Mrs. Edmonds went up stairs after it, the other boy remaining alone in the par lour. He, however, made the best use of his time, for during the temporary absence of Mrs. Edmonds he con trived to possess himself of a watch that had been hang ing over the mantel-piece, and which could be seen from the street. The pigeon was soon caught, upon which the three boys went away together, but directly after wards Mrs. Edmonds missed her watch. On the 12th of August they went into a gingerbeer-shop, kept by a widow, at No. 8, Seabright-place, Hackney-road, and one of them, by pretending that he had dropped a penny into the parlour, got permission to go in to get it, and he stole a metal watch from the chimney-piece ; and on the 18th of August, Phillips, with another boy (not in custody), went into a shop in Union-street, Kingsland road, and stole a watch from the chimney-piece of the back parlour in precisely the same manner. The Jury found them guilty. The Assistant Judge said that Phillips, though young, was a great rogue, and under the new law on - the subl ject of transportation, he should sentence him to four years' penal servitude. With regard to Mackenzie, whom he had no doubt had been trained by Phillips, he thought the best thing that could be done for him would be to pass upon him such a sentence as would have the effect of sending him to Parkhurst. Mr. O'Brien submitted that these cases were only simple larceny. The Assistant Judge said it was larceny in a dwelling house. Mr. O'Brien said that not one of the watches was valued so high as 51. On reference to the indictment, it was found that the value of one of the watches was laid at 61., another at 51., and the third at 10s. The different witnesses were then questioned as to the value of the watches, and the highest value put upon any one of them was 41. The Assistant-Judge said after that evidence the case must be treated as one of simple larceny. He then sen tenced Phillips to two years' hard labour, and Mackenzie to six months' labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET. ASSAULTING A FEMALE.— Tames Tayler, an elderly man of respectable appearance, who was stated to be a person in independent circum stances, was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with an unprovoked and violent assault upon a married woman named Amelia Manning, residing [in Anne's-place, Hackney-road. The complainant, who was in such a state of suffering and exhaustion that she was scarcely able to give her evidence, stated that on the evening of Saturday last, she was proceeding through the Hackney-road, in the company of a female friend, when she accidentally met the defendant, who was the landlord of a house formerly occupied by her husband, and she availed herself of the opportunity to apprise him that her husband had been compelled to take out a summons against him to recover the amount of certain rates which they had disbursed on his account during their tenantcy. Witness at the same time expressed her hope that he would liquidate the debt, to save him from the expense and annoyance of legal proceedings ; but the moment she had uttered the ob servation, the defendant, who was partially intoxicated, exclaimed with an oath, "Yes, I'll pay you at once ; take that you ," and instantly raising his stick struck her a terrible blow on the head, which felled her to the ground in a state of insensibility. On recovering her consciousness she found herself supported in the arms o her friend and another woman who had witnessed the assault, and observing that the defendant was in the act of making rapidly off, she called a policeman and gave him into custody. The complainant added that she had been confined to her bed the whole of the previous day, under the care of a surgeon, and had been ever since in a state of excruciating pain from the effects of the pri soner's violence. A respectable married woman, named Elizabeth York, gave corroborative evidence, and police-constable N 169, stated that at the time she gave the prisoner into custody the complainant was labouring under such extreme suf fering amd exhaustion that she was obliged to be assisted to the station-house to prefer the charge against him. On being called upon for his defence, the prisoner posi tively denied the assault, and with regard to the impu tation respecting his sobriety, he assured the magistrate that he had never been drunk in his life. Sergeant Fay here intimated that the prisoner was a person of such notoriously intemperate habits that he was well known to every policeman in the district, and that almost every night for the last two years he had been led home in a state of helpless intoxication. Mr. D'Eyncourt said that it was a case of such brutal and vindictive violence that he did not feel himself jus tified in imposing a pecuniary penalty upon the defen dant, but should order him forthwith to be committed ty and kept t o h ar d l a b our f or s i x wee k s i n th e H ouse o f Correction. the The psever i risoner, who appeared completely staggered by gaoler, of the sentence, was then removed by the CLERR.EN- rtezAV,‘ELL. 0 Edward J o P was placed at the , conneet t : l o . 1 , Robert-street, Adelphi, a local PEN-AIR PREACHING.—Mr. with the London Missionary Society, bar before Mr. Corrie, charged with causing a crowd in the carriage way. p o r f e roo ns to assemble in Judd-street, St. R P ic a h n a c rd ras dox, evidence to prove that on lia.vid 163, an ir e forenoon, at half-past Montford, 76 E, gave pavement was near the New- S to w th eleven o'clock, the prisoneruwndaY reaehinogbsttorialccterodw, and dnodf upwards of l5O p ig e l eresrfosonocsto complained n p i: a n i a d n .

Mr. Corrie asked the prisoner what he had t o „ f to the charge ?—He said he was connected w i t h the ' City ° of London Missiona r y Societ y , which was su pported t v gospel some of the most emin ent p ersons and divin es in tli country, who encourage d the p reaching of the e The Rev. Mr. Chadman, of St. George's, and other r ev . gentlemen of different sects were active promoters an d supporters of the object, and lie (Mr. Jones) was in the habit of preaching at a great sacrifice of his own and family's interests, as he performed the religious and im portant duties gratuitously. Th e y had consulted with the various superintendents and inspectors of the police and gentlemen of high standing, especially an e minent nobleman, who had interfere for their protection, through which the superintendents and inspectors had not interfered with the preachers. Sir Richard Mayne, the police commissioner, had been written to, and he bad given instructions that the police officers should not in terfere with them unless they caused an obstruction or , nuisance. Mr. Corrie asked the constables whether an obstruc tion was caused, and how ? They swore positively that the crowd was caused by the prisoner's preaching, and an obstruction took place on the foot pavement. The passengers could not pass, and they complained of the nuisance. Mr. Corrie asked a sergeant of the E division what instructions had been given to the police officers as to such cases? Sergeant—We are instructed to take such persons as the prisoner into custody if they cause an obstruction and refuse to go away when told to do so. Mr. Corrie said it was a matter entirely for the police regulations. The constables swore positively that an obstruction had been caused. He (Mr. Corrie) thought that he (Mr. Jones) ought to select places such as fields near Primrose-hill to preach in, where it would not be likely to cause an obstruction. He believed that what the police-constables had sworn to was correct, but under the circumstances he would discharge him. Mr. Jones then left the court with his friends. LAMBETH. —A DESPERATE CH A RACTER.— George Finn, a thick-set person, well known to the police, was charged before Mr. Elliott with creating a considerable disturbance at the Waterloo station of the South-Western Railway. Mr. Young, the station manager, was present to watch the proceedings. Smith, an inspector of the station, deposed that be tween the hours of six and seven that morning, 90 con victs, in the charge of six officers, were brought to the station to be conveyed to Dorchester, and after they bad been placed in the proper carriages, his (witness's) at tention was called to the prisoner, who, he was informed, had offered some money to the convicts. He saw the prisoner strike one of the officers in charge of the con victs a violent blow, and then get under the carriages of the train in which the convicts were placed. Witness having to start the 6.45 train, sent two officers to get the prisoner from under the carriages, but this was a work of considerable difficulty, and frequently, to pre vent their moving the train, he placed his head on the rails before the next carriage, and dared them to do it. Aware that instant death must be the result of moving the train, the porters were obliged to unhook every car riage separately, and even then the task of removing the prisoner from under the single carriage was a work of much time and trouble. He was, however, ultimately dragged out, when his conduct became most violent, and he plunged about and kicked at every person that came within his reach, Witness went to the assistance of the two officers who had the prisoner in charge, and who were nearly overpowered, and on catching him by the collar to turn him over, he got one of his fingers in his mouth and bit him severely, his teeth passing right through the fleshy part and cutting him to the bone. Two other witnesses corroborated the above testimony, and one of them added, that while endeavouring to get the prisoner from underneath the train, he gave him a desperate blow on the nose, which made it bleed, and also tore a handful of hair out of his head. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said he merely went to speak to one of the convicts, when an officer in charge struck him, and he was obliged to take his own part. He complained of having been very roughly handled, and had his coat torn, Mr. Elliott, addressing the prisoner, observed that his conduct was scandalous in the extreme, and con victed him in a penalty of 31., or one month's imprison ment for the assault on the officers, and ordered him, in addition, to pay a further sum of 10s., or ten days' im prisonment. for the injuries done to the inspector's trousers. AFFRAY BETWEEN THE MILITARY AND POLICE IN EDINBURGH. The annual gymnastic games came off on Thursday in Bellville-park, Holyrood, and the day being favourable, a large number of spectators, amounting to probably ten or twelve thousand, assembled to witness the various sports. The different prizes were well contested, and the whole proceedings would have passed off in a very orderly and creditable manner but for a rather serious affray, quite accidental in its origin, which took place between the police and a party of the 4th Regiment now in the Castle. About four o'clock a steeple race was to be run, the distance being from Bellville-park up to the hill behind St. Anthony's Chapel, and back again. The spectators who had previously crowded round a chain which was drawn around the park so as to form a large circle in which the various games proceeded, now drew off in lines to watch this race ; and, at its conclusion, a great press took place in the direction of the point at which the competitors arrived. In running along to get to this point a little boy, named Sinclair, son of Mr. Sinclair, South-bridge, happened to jostle a gentleman who was standing on the outskirts of the crowd, and who afterwards turned out to be an officer of the 4th Regiment in the dress of a civilian. In the heat of the moment, the officer—Lieutenant Roberts—turned round and struck the boy with a cane ; but the blow, probably falling with greater force than had been intended, produced a cut on the head, from which the blood flowed. Seeing this, the bystanders insisted that the police should take the gentleman into custody. A sergeant and two policemen accordingly apprehended him, and were conveying him off the ground, when some of the soldiers of the 4th Regiment, who were present among the spectators, recognising their officer, rushed forward to rescue him. The police maintained their hold, and a severe struggle ensued. Several of the sergeants of the 4th endeavoured to per suade the men to desist from their attempt, and the officer himself, we understand, did the same, but their efforts were fruitless, and many other soldiers joining their comrades a regular fight took place with the police. It is difficult to say how many were engaged in it, as the combatants were divided into groups—in some of which one or two policemen had to encounter eight or ten soldiers. The latter were fortunately without their side arms, but they used their heavy leather-belts, and sticks, which were supplied by their comrades, and also by of the lowest characters in the crowd ; none, how ever, except soldiers, took part in the fight. Superin tendent Linton, Lieut. M'Lellan, and others, were on the ground, but it was some time before they ascertained what was going on, in consequence of the immense crowd. Colonel Trevor, also, the commanding officer of the regiment, fortunately happened to be present ; and but for this circumstance the disturbance would in all likelihood have ended far more seriously than it did. He ordered the bugles to sound as a call to the men, and in a short time all of them obeyed the summons, and were marched off to the Castle. The band and about 25 men with side-arms, who were assisting the police to preserve order at the games, but who took no part in the fight, were also withdrawn. The whole affair did not last much more than five minutes. None of the soldiers, so far as is known, are injured, and this may be accounted for by the fact that they used belts and sticks, while the police had only their short batons. The police have not been so fortunate ; six of them have been wounded, two or three rather seriously, their heads having been dreadfully cut. We are glad, however, to state, that dangerous results are not anticipated in any of the cases. Five soldiers were apprehended on Thursday—three privates and two lance-corporals. Two of these were taken into custody in the Park, the others were afterwards found in the High-street, and being recog nised as engaged in the affray, they were at once cap tured. These men—John Withey and Charles Whit bread, lance-corporals, and Charles Walsh, William But ler, and James Connor, privates—were brought before Sheriff Arkley yesterday at the Police Court, charged with assault on officers in the execution of duty, by striking them with belts, sticks, and other weapons, and knocking them down and kicking them—all to the effu sion of blood ; also with attempting to rescue a prisoner whom the police had in custody. They were at once re mitted to the Sheriff Court. Yesterday afternoon the police officers visited the Castle and identified other ten privates as having been engaged in the disturbance. They were accordingly removed to the Police•office ; but on investigation it was found that the evidence affected only three of them whereupon the other seven were liberated. Two or three of those who are suspected to be the ringleaders in the affray are believed to have escaped over the hill, and they have not yet made their appear ance at the Castle. Some apprehension was entertained lest the distur bance should have been renewed last evening, but we are glad to say that everything passed off quietly. The officer who was unintentionally the cause of the whole affair gave himself into custody at the Police-office on Thursday, but he was released on parole. Yesterday the charge against him—that of striking the boy—was also remitted to the sheriff.—Scutsman. ACCIDENT TO COLONEL BIDDULPH AND A QUEEN'S MESSENGER.—An accident happened, on Wednesday last, to Colonel Biddulph and one of the Queen's messengers, which might have produced very serious results. As it was, it occasioned much pain and suffering. Colonel Biddulph and the messenger left Balmoral on Wednes day morning, about eleven o'clock, in a new carriage--a light drotchka, to post to Perth, by way of Castleton and the Spittal of G-lenshee. The road through the latter passes along the face of a precipitous rock for several miles, a steep high bank rising abruptly on one side of the road with a deep precipitous fall on the other, but commanding some of the most extensive and beau tiful views in Scotland. As the road begins to descend it approaches a very sudden and abrupt turn, familiarly known as " The Devil's Elbow," and about bare the descent in the road is very steep, and every precau tion is always taken to guard against any accident ; but on this occasion, from the break not acting on the wheels, or some other circumstance, the carriage pressed on the horses, and they started off at a gallop down the hill. To have failed to stop them would have been to - go over the precipice, and the driver, there fore, assisted by the messenger, managed to pull them against the bank, and amongst the huge stones that lie about ; the carriage was, in consequence, upset. Col. Biddulph, the messenger, and the driver were thrown with great violence to the ground, the colonel and the driver escaping with severe bruises, but the Queen's messenger, unfortunately, suffered severely, by breaking his collar bone,make inquiries and fracturing a rib. He was conveyed with At rms, and with all possible speed to the Inver em a i i n d e d ever at si Spittal an dis of G progressing lensl e , a s where favourablyhe has re mained accident possiblewthoewnaards recovery.

It will be recollected that at the last meeting of the Yorkshire Royal Agriculture Society Mr. W. Crosskill received the gold medal, as the exhibitor and maker of "Bell's Reaping Machine." This gentleman has now, in the most praiseworthy manner, handed it over to the inventor, whom he considers to be its right possessor, and who, it may be mentioned to the honour of Scot land, is a hard-working parochial clergyman near Arbroath. In the letter inclosing the medal to the Rev. Mr. Patrick Bell, for that is the name of the author of this beautiful and most useful machine, Mr. Crosskill says : " The excellent parochial clergy of Scoland, of whom you are so meritorious a member, have been long distinguished for their zeal in the acquisition and dis semination of that description of knowledge which has formed the basis of our most valuable agricultural im provements. The publication, in the year 1791, of the first volume of the " Statistical Account of Scotland," compiled by Sir John Sinclair, from information supplied by the parochial clergy, gave the first impulse to im proved husbandry south of the Tweed. These gifted men were the first to call national attention to the state of the soil—the different modes of cultivation—the manures employed—the farming implements in general use—the quantity and value of each description of crop—the price of grain— the quantity consumed—wages of labour —cattle-breeding, rent, and the whole theory and prac tice of farming. It is impossible to say how much we are indebted to them for all our recent improvements ; and, for my part, I am always proud to acknowledge my deep obligations to them, and to that system of clerical training which qualified them, not only to discharge their sacred functions worthily, but to mark out that path of physical improvement in which we are now so securely treading. " And here I must congratulate you, rev. and dear sir, upon the recent justice done to your fame as one of the most successful of modern inventors in the arts of peace, so entirely in harmony with the food-dispensing requirements of your sacred calling. Not that I would either say or insinuate that the enterprising persons on the other side of the Atlantic, who were among the first to appropriate, and to seek to profit by your invaluable discovery, were influenced by any intention of robbing you of the merit due to you. Every appropriation of an invention is not a piracy, especially on the part of men so remote from us, as regards distance, as the people of the United States. Plans of machines are variously ob tained, and the first to procure them are not always the persons to direct or to profit by their manufacture. But as I doubt not that, in perfecting your noble invention, you were intent only upon benefitting agriculturists throughout the world, you will have received real pleasure from ascertaining the extent to which you were the unknown benefactor of the farmers of America." After acknowledging the receipt of the medal, Mr. Bell observes— " It is gratifying to me to receive such a proof of the success of a contrivance which occupied a great part of my attention during a few of my younger years ; and if it shall be found by experience that I have been instru mental in the smallest degree in lightening the toil of the husbandman, and in cheapening the food to our grow ing population, I shall be more than rewarded for the trouble and anxiety I experienced when I was thinking and rethinking—modelling and remodelling—and in putting my thoughts into a practicable shape." THE ROYAL PANOPTICON INSTITUTION, LEICESTER-SQUARE. There are few persons in the habit of moving about the west end of London whose attention has not been attracted to the Oriental-looking structure which has been in progress during the last two years, and which, with its dome and minarets, and the variegated colours with which its surface is decorated, look as if a rich Moorish palace in all its freshness and beauty had been miraculously transported into the midst of our muddy and smoky metropolis. As we learn from Mr. E. M. Clarke, the managing director, by whose taste the style and many of its details had been suggested, the building is not Turkish, nor Moorish, but Saracenic, the walls presenting plane surfaces decorated with com binations of scrolls, fretwork, and mosaic designs, from which all organic forms are severely excluded. As the building, although its decorations are not quite completed, is already open to students in the chemical and photographical departments, and to per sons wishing to sit for their portraits—the character of the interior has ceased to be a secret to many ; and we believe that none who have seen it have failed to regard it with the greatest admiration. It appears from a paper read before the Institute of Architects, by the architect, Mr. J. H. Lewis, the large central hall is 98 feet in diameter in the clear of the walls, about the same height to the top of the centre lights, beside the very large recess occupied by the monster organ. Very great difficulty had to be overcome in the con struction of the vast and beautiful roof, in consequence of there being no means of getting a continuous tie at the springing, nor till more than half-way, as the arched roof of the organ gallery cut into it. But these details give no picture of the scene which meets the eye as s o on as th e v i s it or Waves the portals, and enters the spacious rotunda. The ground floor is circular, above which is an octagonal gallery, above which is another gallery of 16 feet, and which is surmounted by a third gallery, which is circular, and forming the lower part of the dome. The roof and the galleries are supported by 17 columns. The galleries are fronted with iron pannels of fret work, carrying out the Saracenian style of the building, and are approached by slate staircases, the steps of which are of cut slate, and the pannels supporting the handrail present the pecularity of being at right angles with the enclosure of the stairs. The ornaments of the whole, from the floor to the summit of the dome, present a gor geous mass of pristine colours, lavishly enriched with gold. Perhaps the best idea of this magnificent scene may be formed, from the statement that the mere gold leaf for the decorations cost 1,000/. The pillars on the ground-floor have a peculiar effect, being covered in slabs of gold-coloured glass, the capitals being formed by wide-spreading ornaments, enriched with the three posi tive colours (blue, red, and yellow), relieved by delicate traceries of gold. These are succeeded by pillars richly worked out in the polychromatic style, the effect of which are heightened by gilding. The ceilings of all the galleries present an illustration of decorative art, being divided into pannels, containing a rich decription of scroll rosettes. The dome, which is purely hemispherical, presents a ground-work of ultra marine, thickly studded with gold stars, a fine effect as to elevation being produced by the gradual paling of the ground from the base to the summit. To ascend from the ground-floor to the photographi cal department, in the highest gallery, a carriage has been constructed, which travels up a perpendicular shaft, capable of seating six persons and a conductor, put in motion by a steam-engine. The arrangements in progress fir the working of the institution are proceeding with rapidity. On the basement story is constructed a circular railway, the diameter of which is 98 feet, the rails being in ac cordance with the narrow gauge. On the ground-floor there are several valuable engines, and a stand of tools already at work (having been furnished by Mr. Whit worth, of Manchester), for the purpose of giving in struction in mechanics and engineering. There is also a large number of casts from the best works in the studios of eminent English sculptors. One of the lead ing features of this floor is the gigantic electrical machine, the glass-plate of which is 10 feet in diameter ; it has a pear-shaped conductor ; the weight of the whole is about a toa. There is a voltaic magnet of soft iron, weighing half a ton, capable of supporting 30 tons. The chemical labo ratory is most complete in all its apparatus. The philosophical apparatus-room is complete with apparatus of most novel construction for illustrating all departments of the physical sciences. The scientific lec ture-room will hold 1,000 persons, besides which there is a literary lecture-room for six hundred. Arrangements are in progress for the illustration of musical composi tion and Psalmody, for which purpose Mr. Hill, from Tottenham-court-road, has constructed an or chestral organ, at the cost of three thousand guineas ; the bellows of this instrument are worked by a steam engine of two horse-power, and to do justice to the organ three performers are required. From the centre of this organ will proceed an oxy-hydrogen light, which will pass through condensers of 27 inches dia meter, and by this arrangement dioramic views will be formed on a transparent screen, of dimensions hitherto unattempted. One of the remarkable features of the institution is its Artesian well, of 385 feet depth, and from which the water is pumped up by steam to the summit of the building for constant use, and to be ready in the case of a fire breaking out, which, from this brief notice of the edifice, the public would most earnestly deprecate. DESERTION FROM MERCHANT SHIPS.—The Lards Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury have caused to be transmitted to the Customs authorities, for the information of themselves, and their officers at the seve ral ports throughout the Kingdom, an order for appre hending seamen, not being slaves or subjects of her Majesty, who desert from merchant ships belonging to subjects of the King of Denmark, when within her Ma jesty's dominions, or the territory of the East India Co. The order sets forth, that it appearing that due facili ties have been, or will be, given, for recovering and apprehending seamen who desert from British merchant ships in the territories of his Majesty the King of Den mark, it is hereby ordered and declared that seamen, not being slaves, and not being subjects of her Majesty, who desert from merchant ships belonging to subjects of his Majesty the King of Denmark, when within her Majesty's dominions, or the territories of the East India Company, shall be liable to be apprehended and carried on board their respective ships. The Commissioners for the affairs of India are to assist the Lords of the Treasury in this matter, and give the necessary directions accord ingly. THE FUGITIVE BANKRUPT.—The detective officer who followed Todd, the fraudulent bankrupt distiller of New castle, to America on behalf of his creditors, has, it is stated, written to his employers to say that he traced him all the way to the State of Wisconsin, where he has purchased a large farm. The officer found the delin quent in the field busy at work, but the latter, with some other hostile parties, resisted the efforts of the officer officer to arrest him ; and finding his warrants not suf ficiently legal to call for the interference of the local authorities, the officer has written hone for fresh in structions. lIENLEY.—The shooting on several ofthe i ti o n a t n i o l ill this neighbourhood has been postponed this day, in consequence of the backward state of the bar- ! vest. • • THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1853.

It may be aptly compared to a geometrical line ; it has length without breadth or thickness. Ido not say a straight line, for it is by no means the nearest way between two points. A road is the most vile of sublunary deceptions. A will-o'-the wisp is something ; a ship's track through the waves has a transient existence ; but an Australian road is an abominable nonentity. When you are told you cannot possibly miss your road, be assured of the truth of it, for there will be no road to miss ; look forward con fidently to an agreeable night " by moonlight alone," about which I could "tell you a tale," but that I don't like to be talking about myself. What do you think of the following for a direction ? Squatter, standing at his hut door, with one arm stretched out before him, loquitur : " Take that rise on the other side of the creek, and it will bring you on to an open plain ; go straight on for about a mile, and you'll see a belt of timber on your right ; make a cut through it till you come to a swamp ; go on beyond that for three miles, keeping the sun on your right shoulder, and you'll see a large mob of wild cattle ; leave them on your left, and keep on, heading the gullies, till you come to a camping ground ; there will be a flock of sheep somewhere in the neighbourhood, and the shepherd will put you on the right track. You can't miss it." Thank you, so much for roads. Not that a creek is different ; not but that some creeks are roads, and some roads are creeks—nay, I have ridden along a plain level road that was a river. But, generally speaking, a creek is different from a road. ' A creek is an indentation in the ground, into which, if it should happen to rain heavily, water would probably run and remain there till it dried up. And in this consists the difference between a creek and a gully ; the gully being more or less on a slope, the water would not re main in it, but flow down somewhere else. It is easy to understand, then, what a creek or a gully is (and a river is just the same, except that you will seldom follow the course of a river for a mile or so without meeting with a water.hole) ; but the difficulty is to know what is not a creek, or a gully, or a river. You may be told that, after passing two creeks, you will come t• a certain hut; and yet, in your own humble and innocent opinion you may have crossed a dozen creeks, and not have reached it. lam not yet d( ep enough in the mysteries to say when a creek (crick or crick, I think, must be the cor rect orthography) is not a creek, and a gully (or gull-ye) is not a gully.—Australian and New Zealand Gazette. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE, NOTICE TO MARINERS. ERECTION OF A FOG BELL AT WHITEHEAD, ENTRANCE OF PENOBSCOT BAY. PORTLAND, ME., Aug. 27, 1853. One of Jones's fog bells had just been erected at White Head, Maine, west side of entrance to Penobscot Bay, under the direction of the Lighthouse Board. As the arrangement for ringing this bell is of compara tively recent invention, and as the efficiency of the signal has not yet been sufficiently tested by experiments or by experience, all masters and pilots of steam-boats and sail ing vessels who may be obliged to pass White Head in foggy weather are requested to notice whether the bell is heard at a sufficient distance, or at any rate whether the sound is louder than that of the old bell. _ _ . They are also requested to report the result of their ob servations to the undersigned at this place, either person ally or by letter, and are assured that all proper attention will be paid to their reports. The fog signals on this coast are of the greatest impor tance, and in order to aid in having the best system adopted, those personally interested are requested to pay attention to this notice. . . . The bell strikes every twenty seconds, and weighs about 1,5001b5. By order of the L. H. Board, W. B. FRANKLIN, 1, Lieut. U.S. Top. Eng. L. H. Inspector. CUSTOM-HOUSE-SEPT. 12.

ACCIDENT FROM WANT OF CAUTION IN TAKING MEDICINE.— An accident occurred to Mr. Joseph Bar nett, of Remenham Hill Farm, near Henley, on Wed nesday last, and which it was feared for 24 hours would terminate fatally, affording another instance of the frequently-occurring casualties arisin g from the want of due caution in taki n g m e di c i ne . Mr. Barnett, on Tuesday, had purchased at the shop of Mr. Kinch, a black draught and pill, together with a bottle of mix ture for applying to the rot in the feet of sheep, and on arriving home placed both bottles on the mantlepiece of his sitting-room. The next morning, about half-past four o'clock, he directed the servant to bring the draught to the kitchen for him to take. The girl, instead of the draught, unconsciously brought the poisonous mixture, consisting of butter of antimony and Friar's balsam, and, pouring it out, gave it to her master, who imme diately swallowed it. The noxious potion nearly suffo cated the unfortunate gentleman, but he had the presence of mind to order some warm water and salt to be given him, which removed some of the poison from his stomach. Medical assistance was procured as early as possible, but little hope was entertained of other than a fatal termination. Mr. Brooks, of Henley, attended all that day and the following night, and on Thursday expressed a rather more favourable opinion of his patient's case, although suffering intensely. No blame can be attached to the person serving the medicine, as both bottles were plainly labelled. DWELLINGS FOR THE WORKING CLASSES SOHO CHAMBERS.—In all undertakings, whatever their object may be, the best guarantee of their success is their cer tainty of paying. It is not a wise philanthropy which expends itself on unprofitable efforts. While the im provement of the dwellings of the working classes is quite worthy of all the zeal and benevolence which hap pily are now being brought to bear upon the subject, still there must at the same time be some substantial encouragement for the investment of capital. The ques tion, " Will it pay ?" will always occur to the practi cal mind. We must keep a steady eye to the returns, and adapt the supply, as far as possible, to the demand likely to arise. It might be supposed, then, that the small bed-rooms, with the incidental conveniences to be had at the Soho Chambers, were on the whole all that could be reasonably expected for the rent charged, 3s. 6d. a week. But if such a supposition were correct, it must be inferred that either this rent is too high for those who would otherwise go there, or else working men are not disposed to be satisfied with such meagre and dingy dwellings ; and I think they ought not to be satisfied. It cannot be said that nothing better can be had on such low terms, for the house built for single men in George street, Bloomsbury, is at least twice as good, if not superior ; and yet the rent for the same accommodation and privileges is only 2s. 4d. a week. Certainly, whe ther we consider comfort or morals, the Soho beds, with their flimsy partitions, are a great improvement on the old abominable system of huddling men together in the same room, and several in a bed ; and I would say all honour to a society that has already done so much for the working classes. But I submit it is time they should raise their standard a little higher.—Correspon dent of the Builder. AUSTRIA.—The following is a list of the persons brought before the Austrian Court-Martial at Ancona, from June, 1849, up to June, 1853 :—For murder and manslaughter, 86 ; robbery, 123 ; arson, 3 ; public vio lence,. 130 ; cutting an d maiming, 236; 1,0 c 4 a 6 - carrying weapons, concealing arms and ammuniti on, in sulting the Papal Gensdarmerie, 457 ; political_ dcmon strations and disturbance of the public peace, 336 ;in sulting his Majesty, 4. The nu mber of p ersons tried " for high treason and " club.bisi ncledl's unknown. The fol lowing punishments were :—Shot, 60 ; sent to the galleys, 84 ; +. 1 555 ; beaten with a stick, 78 ; imrisonmen., hard labour in the public streets , 48 ; conse q uence of want of evidence against liberated in cons houp se - arr est, 180 ; 259 were " provisionally " besides, no want of employment for the Papal Criminal must not be forotten that there was t c h o e u m It Courts at Ancona, Pesaro, Urbino, Macerate, Fermo, Ascoli, C a merino, and Perugia. The Piedmontese re sidingin Tessin have repeatedly complained to their G o vernment of the oppressive and illegal exactions to which they are subjected under all kinds of futile pre texts. The Sardinian Cabinet, after having in vain re quired that the treaties should be respected by the authorities of the Canton, has at length peremptorily demanded an explanation. Count Persano, who was brought before a court-martial for stranding the G-aver nolo, on hoard of which was the Royal faniiy, pleaded tint the reef on xhich the vessel P-ti ok was toot wark,d in the charts. it does nut appear that the Court %%as perfectly satisfied, as the singular sentence passed was, that the captain should serve six months in a rank one deans beatath l 4 own.
