HMI MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-Aug. 24. (Before Mr. Sergeant Adams.) James Hasley, 24, and John Kirby, 53, surrendered to take their trial on an indictment in which they were charged, Hasley with stealing a quantity of calico, flannel, &c., the property of Mr. Brow n, his master, and Kirby for feloniously receiving the same, well knowing it to have been stolen. The trial of this case occupied several hours, but the material facts disclosed in the evidence were shortly these :—The prosecutor is a linen-draper, infirm, and advanced in years, carrying on business at 119, Hol born, and the prisoner Hasley was in his service as foreman, or manager of the whole concern. Kirby was a dealer in drapery goods in Eyre-street, Clerken well, and it seemed that he wag in the habit of going to the prosecutor's shop, watching outside for an oppor tunity, and then having exchanged signals with the prisoner Hasley, or some of the other servants, who, it w as opined, were conniving at what was going on, he would go into the shop, get a bag which he carried with him well stuffed with goods, and be off without paying a farthing. This was detected by a person named Mayer, an opposite neighbour of the-prosecutor's, and from information given by him, an officer took Kirby into custody, as he was leaving with his full bag of flannel, calico, stockings, and other articles. They were just as they were taken from the shelves. The jury found the prisoners guilty, on a count in which they were both charged with stealing. It was stated the prosecutor had taken ilkock since this occurrence, and found that he had been plundered al together of property to the value of 1,7001. This statement produced considerable sensation. The Assistant Judge said it was a most base and in famous case, and sentenced each of the prisoners to two years' hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. ROBBERY BY A CLERK. — Thomas Browning was charged with having embezzled several sums of money, the property of Messrs. Storr and Co., wine and brandy merchants, of Crutched-friars. The case seemed to excite a great deal of interest in con sequence of the high character of the prisoner for several years in the city of London. Mr. Parry appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Robin son for the defence. Mr. Parry said he had been instructed to brie prisoner, ngse so v n ern,i charges of embezzlement and fraud against the who had been many years in the employment ofthepl pro secutors, and had 'taken the o pportunity of exercising great skill and ingenuity in confusing accountstheoooe o in f such a manner as to evade detection by the course ordinary examination. Mr. Paul Storr (the p r incipal employ o m f en th t e m fir y m e ) ar s s ai a d n — The prisoner has been in my wards as principal clerk and cashier. On Friday last I di scover ed that he had been defrauding me. I was in my private counting-house, and I came down t o hi m an d inquired the amount of the bance at my bank ers ' H e mentioned an amount, which Ido not recollect. I took up those books which would enable me t o ascerta i n the amount. 4 paid in, and in tracing the amounts paid in I found certain deficiences. Copying some few of them on a piece of paper, I went down to him and said, " You appear to have some amounts by you not paid, why don't you pay them in ?" He made no reply. I waited, I suppose about two m i nu t es, an d t h en said very loudly to him, "Do you hear me, sir ?" He came round from his desk, where he had been seated, and laid hold of me by the coat, and said, " For God's sake, Mr. Storr, forgive me." I replied, "You do not mean to tell me you have been robbing me." He de tained me by the coat and said, "Do not, pray do not." I thrust him from me, and said, "I will have nothing to say to you." I then went immediately out of the house. I did not hear him say anything more at that time. The following morning I went to the counting-house about eleven o'clock, and saw him there. I had locked up the books and cash-box on the previous day. He immediately addressed me, saying, "For God's sake, forgive me, Mr. Storr, if not for my own sake, for that of my family." I replied, " I will have nothing to s to you," and left the house. Upon my return with an officer, in half au hour, lie was gone. I gave directions that he should be taken into custody, and he was ac cordingly apprehended. I have looked through the books. The cheque produced for 2471. 15s. 6d. I drew on the 23d day of October, 1852, for rum and wine duty. The wine duty was 1271. 65., and the rum duty was 1201. 98. 6d., according to the counterfoil produced in the prisoner's handwriting, neither of which sums was made use of for that purpose. The prisoner took that cheque to the bankers'. The amount was not required for the &uties, and was to he paid back to the bankers, as directed by me. Cross-examined by Mr. Robinson—l might have given him directions to pay in a part of the amount and retain a small part of it, and if I did so the other part would he paid in with other money, if not in one payment, in two. Examination by Mr. Parry continued—l gave him directions to pay the whole of it into the bank, if not in one payment, he was to pay it in two payments. Here other evidence was gone into to show that the entries had been falsely made. It was arranged that the case should stand over for a week, in consequence of the complicated and confused state of the books; and the Lord Mayor called upon the prisoner to find bail to the amount of 100/. on his owu recognisance, and two sure ties in 501. each. The bail was entered into. GUILDHALL.—George Cooper, a book-collector in the service of Messrs. Whittaker, of Ave Maria-lane, was brought up for final examination on three separate charges of forgery and making false entries, with intent to defraud his employers. Further evidence was given to complete the cases selected for prosecution, and the prisoner was then fully committed to Newgate for trial at the ensuing sessions of the Central Criminal Court. AN OLD OFFENDER.—Mary Pullen, a decent-looking elderly woman, was charged with threatening to break the windows of M essrs . Hit c h coc k, o f St. Paul's Church yard. It was stated that the prisoner had been constantly in and out of prison for the same description of offences for the last five years, and her last conviction had the effect of keeping her in prison for six months, which time had just expired. She thereupon repaired to St. Paul's Church-yard again, and threatened to break the windows unless she was given into custody. Alderman Lawrence asked her why she did not go to her own parish ?—She said she had been sent once to Liverpool, but the parish she belonged to would do no thing for her. An officer here said that he bad known her in custody four times for threatening to break windows. The prisoner said that was very true, but she never actually broke any windows. Alderman Lawrence said he supposed the prison fare was too good, as the prisoner seemed to wish to go back. He would, however, gratify her this time, and commit her for 21 days, so that she might have the full benefit of the low-diet system. MARYLEBONE.—ROBBING A LADY IN AN 031- NlBUS.—Michael MWulty was placed at the bar, for further examination, charged with having, whilst riding in an omnibus, stolen a purse containing two half-crowns and five shillings, from Elizabeth Rawlings, 19, High street, Newington, and who was a passenger in the vehicle in which prisoner also rode. The particulars have already appeared. The prisoner was committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTENTIVE ROB BERY BY A SHOPMAN.—Edward Martin, a shopman in the service of Mr. William King, silk mercer, 243, Re gent-street, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having stolen several hundred yards of silk and satin, of about the value of 3001., the propriety of his employer ; and Herbert Tucker, of Soho Chainbers Compton-street, was charged with receiving the same, well knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. King deposed that the prisoner Martin was a shopman ro in hi s emp l oy, an d suspect i ng t h at h e h a d been pg him, h e gave hi m i nto custo d y. Wh en con veyed to the station-house' he was searched in the pre 12witness, and a dress length of silk, containing yards, was found upon him, which witness at once a pollee-eonstable identified as his property.

WESTMINSTER. DESPERATE Ass A ULT 0 FElVlALE.—Yesterday BacA:ett, an agent, resid ing at No. 13L, Nottingham-court, King-street, Seven. dials, was char g ed before Mr. Broderip with violentl y assaulting Sophia Hayman, his sister-in-law. Complainant, who had a deep cut across the bridge of her nose, said that she was an assistant at the Birkbeck School, Vincent -square, and was living at No. 26, Upper Garden-street, Westminster. She had had the care of the defendant's daughter since the death of her mother, 18 months ago. That day (yesterday), about two o'clock, he called upon her and said that he wanted his child ; but she did not wish to go with her father. He called her by a very opprobrious name, and observed that all the women in the house were like her. He then crave her a dreadful blow on her nose with his clencheffist, which caused the blood to flow. He immediately ran away. Complainant, upon recovering herself , pu rsued him, and was assisted in the pursuit by some other women. The defendant was stopped by a waterman aattached to the Vauxhall-road coach-stand. Theob ald, the neighbour, confi rme d thi s ev idence.

She added that some time ago she broke her leg, and that, though she was now recovered, the prisoner was aware that the least accident or violence on the in jured leg gave her great pain and laid her up. But not withstanding, the prisoner made a deliberate kick at her leg, which caused her great pain. Evidence having been given in confirmation of the above facts, Mr. Corrie asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge ? The prisoner denied it, and, in a tone indicative of the violence of his temper, abused the complainant, and said he worked hard for her, and exclaimed, "I took that vagabond out of the workhouse." Mr. Corrie , after a severe admonition as to the cruelty of his conduct, sentenced him to four months' imprison ment, with hard labour, in the House of Correction. Prisoner (with levity) : Thank your worship. Shortly after the prisoner was locked up his wife ap plied to Mr. Corrie, saying she would be driven to dis tress in the absence of the prisoner's services while he was in prison. Mr. Corrie : You must apply to your parish for re lief. The magistrate asked her if she was in immediate distress. Complainant answered in the affirmative. Mr. Corrie : Then I shall order you to have ss. out of the poor-box. She appeared grateful, and left the court. C 2, A B was C A summonedS E . Ob King, b e a e Mfo r cabr.

Having repeatedly travelled the same distance, for which she bad never been charged more than 2s. 4d. before the recent alteration in the scale of cab-fares, she handed the defendant 2s. with an intimation that hemight keep the odd sixpence, as she be lieved that his proper fare was only is. 6d. The defen dant, however, so far from being satisfied with her liberality, peremptorily refused the tender, declaring that the distance exceeded five miles, and roughly de manded half-a-crown, which she ultimately paid him to save the train ; but, at the same time, took his number, and cautioned him that on her return from the country she would certainly take out a summons against him for the extortion. In answer to the charge, the defendant, who exhibited an air of surly defiance, persisted that the lady had only given him 3.5. 6d. in the first instance, and urged that he had not gone much beyond the mark after all, as he considered the distance was not more than a few yards within the five miles. Mr. D'Eyncourt said that it was perfectly manifest that the defendant had exacted an excessive overcharge, as he was well aware that even under the old system the legal fare to the Eastern Counties Railway was only. 3s. from Hyde-park-corner. He had frequently had oc casion to notice that ladies and foreigners were specially selectee by the defendant's class as objects of their im positions, and he felt it incumbent to make an example for their protection in all such cases that came before him. Defendant : But I say, I hope you ain't a going to put a fine upon me this 'ere time, cos I han't got no money, and, in course, can't pay. Mr. D'Eyncourt : I shall order you to pay a penalty of les. and the costs, which amount to 65., or to be committed in default for ten days to the House of Cor rection. The defendant refused to pay the fine, and was locked up under a grumbling protest. SOUTHWARK.—THE NEW CAB ACT.—SINGULAR CASE.—Yesterday, Mr. Grove, saddler and harness maker, in the Blackfriars-road, was summoned before Mr. Combe, to show cause why he omitted to pay Char les Grainer, cabdriver, badge 1,002, his legal fare. The complainant said that on the morning of the 12th inst., the defendant hired him off the cab-stand at the top of Brydges-street, Covent-garden, and he drove him over Waterloo-bridge to his residence in the Blackfriars road, opposite Stamford-street. When he alighted from the vehicle, he only paid witness 6d., whereas, he was entitled to a shilling, the distance being beyond the mile. Mr. Combe asked him whether tie defendant said anything to him at the time ? the Cabman replied that he said, "I think you will do better by the, reduction of the fares, as I ride more now than I ever did before." Witness said he thought not, and that under the existing fares there would not be sufficient to support the horse. Mr. Combe—Did you ask him for your proper fare ? Cabman—l. said nothing about the fare to him, but put the money into my pocket. Mr. Combe--When Mr. Groves paid you the six pence, which he considered was the proper fare, did you ask him for more ? Cabman—NO, I did not, for I was not el:actiy certain, although I believed my fare was a shilling. Mr. Combe-1 shall make no order for Mr. Grove to pay you any more, as I think you ought to have told him that he had not paid you sufficient. You put the money in your pocket at the time and seemed satisfied. Cabman—But I have taken this summons out under the Ist and 2d Wm. IV., which says, "refusing or omitting to pay the legal fare," and the next clause says a cabman is liable to a penalty of 40s. if he demands or exacts more . . I was not certain as to the distance, al though I firmly believed it to be beyond a mile. In fact, Mr. Grove had admitted that by paying the 6d. , into court. Mr. Grove said that he did not know whether it was more than a mile. Had the complainant told him so, he should have instantly paid it. Mr. Combe said he could not allow such a case to go before the public without passing some censure on the cabman, who ought to have told the gentleman that he had not paid him his legal fare instead of summoning him without doing so. It was the duty of every driver of a hackney carriage to tell the parties who hired them their legal fare, and not summon a party because they happened to take less. He should dismiss the summons without making any order. ANOTHER CABMAN AT FAIJLT.—On Monday afternoon a barrister, having chambers in Old-square, Lincoln's inn, attended before Mr. Combe, with cab-driver 6,284, to complain of his exacting more than his legal fare. The gentleman was conveyed by him from the cab-stand at the top of Chancery-lane to the London-bridge railway terminus, when he demanded is 6d., contending that it was more than two miles. The gentleman objected to pay that sum, as it was not more than two mile, had the cabman taken him the nearest and direct way, instead of over Blackfriars-bridge. Both parties differed in their opinions, and the magistrate directed the officer to mea sure the distance by the nearest route from the cab-rank on Holborn-hill to the terminus. Such having been done, yesterday both parties attended before Mr. Combe, when the officer of the court proved that the distance was 120 yards under two miles. _ - The cabman said he was most decidedly wrong by the way of the city, which was certainly the nearest, but gentlemen mostly desired him to avoid the crowded tho roughfares owing to the stoppages—that was the reason why he came over Blackfriars-bridge. The gentleman informed his worship that it was not for the object of the sixpence that he refused to pay it, but knowing the fare to be only two miles (that is, a shilling), he considered himself bound on public grounds to dispute it, and have the ground measured; The cab man had received the extra sixpence, but as he had to pay for the measuring, he should not demand that back. Mr. Combe said that he really was of opinion on Monday that the distance was more than two miles, but the recent alterations in the City thoroughfares made it easier and nearer to proceed that way. The parties then left the court. SHOOTING A THADESAIAN.—At the close of the busi ness on Tuesday evening, Mr. Lawrence, of Stevens street, Bermondsey New Town, applied for a summons against Mr. Stevens. a tradesman residing in Bermond sey-street, for an alleged indecent assault on his wife in the house of the latter. He said his wife had gone to Mr. Stevens's house on some business, and while there the latter indecently assaulted her, and he wanted a warrant or summons against him for that offence. Mr. Combe told him that he could grant him no such thing. If , his wife had anything to complain of she must attend before him, and give her statement on, oath, when he might feel himself justified to grant her one. The defendant then left the court in rather an excited state, and proceeded home, from whence he took a loaded gun, and went towards Bermondsey street. Seeing Mr. Stevens on the opposite side of the road he fired the gun at him, and severely injured his legs. He immediately made his escape, and at the time of closing the court to day he had not been apprehended. It was stated at a late hour that Mr. Stevens is likely to lose his legs, so serious are the injuries inflicted on him. about the time wher et turned much u " UP, GUAI2DS, AND AT THEM !

In the House of Lords, on Thursday, August 11th, Lord Lyndhurst presented the following petition, which he supported by a short statement of facts, and expressed a hope that, in the next session of Parliament, the Go vernment would introduce a bill to render more effectual the enactments of the statutes referred to : To the Right Honourable the House of Lords of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. The humble petition of the Rev. Frederick William Free man, M.A., Perpetual Citrate of Little Finborough, in the county of Suffolk, sheweth : That your petitioner has for the last four years discharged the duties of parochial minister in'the aforesaid parish, of which the provost and fellows of King's College are the patrons and appropriators of the great and small tithes, and from time immemorial have provided and paid for a li curate (generally one of their own body) for the discharge of the parochial duties. That in February, 1849, the living became vacant by the resignation of the then incumbent, the Rev. Charles Fre derick Parker, for whom your petitioner had for some time officiated, and your petitioner continued to officiate under letters of sequestration from the Bishop of Norwich until June, 1850, when the living having lapsed to the Arch bishop of Canterbury, his grace nominated your petitioner to the incumbency. That your petitioner begs to acquaint your Right Ho nourable House that the Provost and Fellows of King's College became the appropriators of the tithes of the parish of Little Finborough, under a grant of King Henry the Sixth—which grant is to be found in the first patent, 31st Henry VI., part 1 of sheet 20, or in the statute book, passed in the 15th year of Richard the Second, or in 1392, for the apportioning a proper stipend to the officiating ministers of appropriate parishes, it was directed : " That upon every appropriation of any parish church the Diocesan should ordain, according to the value of such churches, a convenient sum of money to be paid and dis tributed yearly of the fruits and profits of the same churches by those who shall have the said churches in pro per use, and by their successors, to the poor parishioners of the said churches in aid of their living and sustenance for ever, and also that the vicar be well and sufficiently endowed." This Act was confirmed by statute fourth of Henry the Fourth, chap. 12, which made void all appropriations made after 15th o f Richard the Second, un l ess re f ormed within a short period, and also made void all appropria tions of vicarages made since first Richard the Second. The same statute also provided : " That in every church appropriated, or to be appro priated, a, secular person should be ord a i ne d perpetua l vicar, canonically instituted and inducted to the same, and conveniently endowed at the discretion of the ordinary to perform divine service." Now your petitioner is desirous of acquainting your Right Honourable House that the Provost and Fellows of King's College a re the recipients by th emse l ves or t h eir lessee of all the fruits and profits arising out of the said parish of Little Finborough, to the amount of ninety-six pounds per annum, which sum they appropriate wholly and entirely to themselves, and that no convenie n t endow ment has been made by them at the discretion of the ordi nary for the performance of Divine Service; the only sti pend received by your petitioner, for the discharge of his parochial duties, being an augmentation from Queen Anne's Bounty and the rent of eleven acres of land, amounting collectively to the sum of 251. per annum. Your petitioner, therefore, humbly prays your Right Honourable House that you will be pleased to institute such inquiry or pass such enactments in confirmation of the above recited statutes for the apportioning of proper sti pends to the officiating ministers of appropriate parishes as may enable them to obtain without a ruinous expenditure that just and equitable arrangement at the hands of their Diocesan, which has been denied to your petitioner by the Provost and Fellows of King'S•College, Cambridge. And your petitioner, as in duty bound; will ever pray. The following are the facts alluded to by Lord Lynd hurst. In October, 1848, Mr. Freeman undertook the duty of Little Finborough, for the Rev. C. F. Parker, the incumbent. In January, 1849, Mr. Parker resigned his incumbency. Soon after, Mr. Freeman addressed a letter to Mr. Sampson, the bursar of King's College, on the subject of the duty ; the college having, with only two exceptions, since the year 1555, appointed one of their own body as college curate ; the exceptions were, in 1830, the Rev, John Deadly Mony, of Catherine Hall, Cambridge ; and, in 1834, the Rev. Charles F. Parker, of Pembroke college, Oxon ; both these gen tlemen receiving from the college an augmentation to the stipend granted by Queen Anne's Bounty. Mr. Sampson answered to Mr. Freeman's communication " that the college would have nothing to do with the living, and that the churchwarden must supply the duty untifMr. Parker's successor should be appointed." Mr. Freeman having found a small but attentive congrega tion, felt unwilling to leave them without duty (once on the Sunday) ; and, at the earnest request of the church warden, who bad taken out letters of sequestration, con tinued to discharge the duty. In June, 1850, the Arch bishop nominated him to the incumbency, and the whole amount of stipend received by him since that period, viz., in four years and a half, has been 90/., or deduct ing Land and Income Tax, considerably under 201. per annum, the college uniformly refusing all application for a proper and equitable adjustment. MB. REUBEN PLANT'S SAFETY LAMP. —Amici the many inventions of utility and economy which now fill the Dublin Industrial Exhibition, none perhaps deserve better notice than a safety lamp just patented by Mr. Reuben Plant, of Brierly-hill, Staffordshire, and espe cially during a time like the present, when so many of our labouring population are exposed to the dangers of mining operations throughout England, Ireland, and Wales. From statistics it appears that the annual loss of life arising from explosions in mines alone, amounts to upwards of 1,000 persons, and these accidents arise, in nine cases out of ten, from the want of a proper safety lamp . - u n d er these circumstances it is exceedingly gra tifying to find private gentlemen spending their time and money in the perfecting of inventions calculated to re move the numerous risks incurred by miners in their daily labours, and we are pleased to be able to say that Mr. Plant has pre-eminently succeeded in all his experiments with his safety lamp. It strictly main tains in the first instance the principles propounded by Sir Humphrey Davy, but adopts a white wire gauze instead of the common black one, which at once gives a very great additional light in the mine. In the next place, he has so constructed a little glass chimney, that the whole of the smoke is consumed as it rises from the lamp, and this also tends to increase the light to a very great degree. Another principal feature in the arrangement of the lamp is, that no matter how long-the-light is kept butming, the lower portion of the wire through which the light is thrown out, remains perfectly cool ; and, from the construction of the gauzes, the one inside of the other, there is no danger of an ac cidental breaking of the glass chimney, as in the case of almost all the other safety lamps. Mr. Plant has also adopted the precaution of locking the lamp, so that under no pretext whatever can the miner get at the light, and this precludes his risking his own life and the lives of his comrades by lighting his pipe—a very general custom in the mines—through the wire' gauze. There is also a great improvement in the capillary action of the oil, which gives a steady light without having to be con tinually raising the wick. In short, the lamp, once lighted and locked, has not to be touched until it is burnt out. But the principal feature of all is the fact, that this safety-lamp will be much cheaper than the or dinary lamp, and last much longer—thus, in every way, presenting a boon to the miner in his hitherto dangerous avocations.—Morning Advertiser. FLYING FISH.—A sailor, wbo had been many years absent from his mother, who lived in an inland county, returned to his native village, after a variety of voyages to different parts of the globe, and was heartily wel comed by the good old woman, who had brig considered him as lost. Soon after his arrival, the old lady became inquisitive, and desirous to learn what st range th ings her son John had seen upon the mighty deep. Amongst the variety of things that Jack recollected, he men tioned his having frequently seen flying fish. " Stop, Johnny," said his mother, " don't try to impose such monstrous impossibilities on me, child ; for, in good truth, I could as soon believe you had seen flying cows ; for cows, you know, can live out of the water. Therefore, tell me honestly what you have seen in reality, but no more falsehoods, Johnny." Jack felt himself affronted ; and, turning his quid about, when pressed for more information, he said, prefacing it with an oath, " Mayhap, mother, you won't believe me, when I tell you, that casting anchor in the Red Sea, it was with diffi culty that we hove it up again ; which was occasioned, do you see, mother, by a large wheel hanging on one of the flukes of the anchor. It appeared a strange old Grecian to look at, so we hoisted it in ; and our captain, do you mind me, overhauled him, and discovered it was one of Pharaoh's chariot wheels, when lie was capsized in the Red Sea." This suited the meridian of the old lady's understanding. "Ay, ay, Johnny," cried she, " I can believe this, for we read of this in the Bible, but never talk to me again of flying fish."
