NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. We hear from Halifax that the commander-in-chief, Vice-Admiral Sir G. F. Seymour, K.C.8., intended to leave in his flag-ship, Cumberland, 70, Captain Seymour, the last week in November, and will be at Jamaica, waiting to be relieved by Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, C. 8., about the middle of January. The Basilisk, 6, Com mander the Hon. F. Egerton, is ordered to England from Halifax. The Admiral will call at Barbadoes and Ber muda. Rear-Admiral Bruce, the commander-in-chief on the west coast of Africa, in his flag-ship Penelope, 16, steam frigate, Captain Lyster, was at Cape Coast Castle by last advices. He was expected at Sierra Leone in the second week in December. The Resistance, transport, Master Commander Brad shaw, was at Bathurst, River Gambia, on the 6th of October, with stores for the squadron. PORTSMOUTH, DEO. 13. The Sprightly, tender to Victory, Master Commander Allen, arrived to-day at noon, from I)evonport, with general supernumeraries. She met with very severe weather on her passage back, being upwards of 30 hours against a strong head wind and heavy sea, which con tinually swept the decks. She has proved herself on all occasions a fine weatherly craft. The Fairy, tender, Master Commander Welch, owing to the strength of the tide, fell foul of a useless davit that is placed in the fore part of the coal-depot. This did some injury to the upper part of her foremast, which she had to strike to scarfe and repair damages. She went down to Osborne to-day minus her foremast. The Duke of Wellington's metal screw was released to-day from its casting-bed, and appears to be a most efficient piece of workmanship. The casting is fair and sound, and when submitted to the lathe will be all that could be desired. The American liner Hendrick Hudson, S. C. Warner, master, arrived at Spithead this morning, and having embarked passengers and stores at this port, sailed for New York this evening. PLYMOUTH, DEC. 13. Her Majesty's screw steam-ship St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Captain the Hon. Henry Keppel, left the Sound last evening for Lisbon. The lighter Devon arrived on Sunday with stores from Pembroke. The General Screw Company's steam-ship Mauritius, Captain Seales, the enginei, of which, by Boulton and Watt, have just been repaired, left Southampton on Tuesday, and tried her speed at the measured mile. On Wednesday she went down Channel, and at four o'clock on Friday morning was 50 miles to the west of Scilly. On Saturday morning she attempted to return to South ampton, but the easterly wind obliged her to put into Plymouth Sound. Her engines are now in good working condition. She sailed for the eastward yesterday. On Thursday morning, off the Start, she spoke her Majesty's steam-vessel Vulture, 6, Captain F. H. Glasse, looking for the wreck of a merchant vessel. SHEERNESS, DEC. 13. The Waterloo, 120, flag-ship to Vice-Admiral of the White the Hon. Josceline Percy.—The Hon. Montagu Stopford, late Captain in command of this ship, gave up charge yesterday to Captain Lord Frederick H. Kerr, of the 10th of December, 1852. The late Captain Stop ford has been doing duty as Captain Superintendent of her Majesty's dockyard here, in the absence of Captain Superintendent Charles Hope, which duty now devolves on Mr. Jonathan Aylen, Master Attendant as second in command. The Cressy, 80, screw steam-ship, is ordered to be commissioned immediately, and all necessary prepara tions are being made for completing her fitment. For that purpose she is now in No. 3 dry dock, getting Kingston's patent valves fitted to her feed pipes, &e., for Grant's patent cooking and distilling apparatus. The Cressy will not be completely fitted until the early part of February next. The Majestic, 80, screw steams-hip, has been placed under the roasting shears in the fitting basin, in order to receive her masts, and the heavy portion of her steam machinery, boilers, &c. She is to have her false keel increased in depth fore and aft. The Royal George, 120 guns, screw steam-ship, Cap tain Henry J. Codrington, yesterday made preparations for going out on a trial trip between the Nore and the Mouse. Steam was got up early in the morning, the steam tug vessel African was in attendance, but, on the moorings being slipped, there appears to have been some misunderstanding, either in communicating from off the poop by the electric telegraph leading down into the engine-room, or in the signal being received in the engine room; the result of which was that, instead of the en gines going ahead they were turned astern, and that at a rapid rate, by which the ship got full galley way astern, in doing which she swamped and filled two boats, and ran stern on board the screw steam-frigate Horatio, carrying away her spanker boom, damaging her quarter, &c. By this time her anchor was let go, which, fortunately, brought her up, when her stern was so near to the T end of the Town-pier that a biscuit might have been thrown on to her poop. Her engines being stopped and reversed, she was shortly afterwards hove to other moorings, it being then too late for her to pass out over the Sheer ness Middle Ground. At this time from 80 to 100 light colliers, and other vessels, were under way, leaving the harbour, having put in for shelter on Friday and Satur day last, during the strong easterly wind. 9 a.m. Preparations are now being made for her going out to day. The steam tug vessels African and Adder are in attendance upon her. Mr. Dennen, the assistant superintendent of steam machinery afloat, is here, for the purpose of proceeding out with her on her trial trip ; she is not expected to return until to-morrow's tide. She will anchor on the warp for the night, in conse quence of the tide not serving during daylight to pass in over the Middle Ground. Mr. Joshua Taylor, Queen's pilot, goes out in charge as pilot. The new contract for supplying the navy between Gillingham, in the river Medway, and the Nore with beef has been taken by Mr. Charles Poison, chemist and druggist, of this town ; the price obtained is 4)d. and 4-7ths of a farthing per pound. The advantages to the navy in this contract are, the cattle are all to be slaughtered here, under the immediate inspection of naval officers, to insure the quality of the meat being in strict conformity with the terms of the contract. The Diamond, 28, Captain William Peel, is ordered to be put out of the basin to-day's tide. She will be berthed at the Swinging Buoy for the purpose of adjust ing her compasses. The Cyclops, (late) 6, paddle-wheel steam frigate, is ordered to be immediately commissioned (by a naval master) as a steam transport for foreign service, her machinery having been favourably reported upon.

DEATH OF LIEUT.-COL. NESBITT, 60th RIFLES. A correspondent of the Graham's Town Journal fur nishes the following details of this melancholy event, in a letter dated " King William's Town, Oct. 4 :" " On Saturday last a fatal accident occurred to Lieut. - Colonel Nesbitt, 60th Rifles, the successor of Lieut.- General Yorke in the command of r ritish Kafraria, It would appear, from the imperfect intelligence respecting this melancholy affair which has as yet reached us, that the colonel, in his capacity of commandant, had pro ceeded on a tour of inspection of the posts in British Kafraria, accompanied by his aide-de-camp, Lieutenant Ellis, of his own regiment, and two orderlies of the 12th Lancers. After inspecting Fort White, and the new post in course of erection at Middle Drift, in the cross ing of which no great difficulty was experienced, although the Keiskamma was high and running rapidly, the colonel proceeded vid Hobbs' Drift to Fort Cox. Hobbs' Drift is about two miles from Fort Cox, where a com pany of his own regiment was quartered. The drift was safely passed by Lieutenant Ellis and the order lies, though tho river was greatly swollen. Tho colonel, unfortunately, allowing his horse to take too low a faurse, where he could neither keep his footing, nor hold il u gainst . the stream, was quickly carried from . saddle , and is supposed to have come in contact w t i e t e l iti .a waggon and span of oxen, which bad 3 liet swept away by the flood. Every assistance was rendered 1.3, Lieutenant Ellis and the orderlies, who were direct ed et to a spot about 300 yards distant from the but such is the of the colonel, calling for assistance ; h was density o f th e b us h i n th e neighbour inoothat darethction. t it onalmost impossible to reach the bank of the orderlies was left on the left bank, while Lieutenante Ellis a n d th e o th er recrosse d the river ; but when they got te to where the colonel was l a st seen, to their horror discovered that he was carried away. He must, no , have been much ex hausted when he reached there is eafter the this water was not three feet deep. In a ver y s hort , tt ames . The e distress ing occurrence both banks of the river Nvuter success. lined with e col one l w soldiers searching f or the bod y , but with poor horse made h is wa y out near wher e th as last seen. A boa t was ' sent from from p ert murr and again the sear ch was renewed, but nothi ng of the , colonel was found except his whip, near the fatal spot. The death of Colonel Nesbitt will be a serious loss to t h e regiment, as he took an unceasing interest in the wel fare of both officers and men ; and it is but justice to hi s memory to say, that had time and opportunity been afforded him for the development and appreciation of his talents, he would have yielded to no commandant in en tering into, and carrying out, measures for the advance ment of the district over which he, for so short a period, presided. You have, no doubt, heard the sequel of this u elancholy affair. One of the Lancers sent with the express to his Excellency, conveying the above intelli gence, was drowned at Line Drift, crossing the same Keiskamma. It is to ho devoutly hoped that the day is not far distant when a bridge will be over every river in South Africa, and thus prevent such distressing dis asters," LAW INTELLIGENCE. much to the annoyance of the ladies and gentlemen wtto were sitting on the same side of the house. They w ere ' repeatedly requested to speak in an under tone ; but 1 Carpenter manifested such contemptuous indifference. - to these solicitations, that a general cry of " turn him out" arose in consequence. The annoyance was described by one of the box-keepers (W. Bamford), and by Mr. Til bury, the comedian, who happened to be one of the audience, and who stated that the disturbance, like- ,all theatrical rows, grew large by degrees—the culminating point, as usual, being attained, when Mr. Carperaer displayed the natural repugnance of an Englishman V> be " turned out"—at which time, such was the confusioli in the house, that he did not hear a syllable of the trio fi re m Don Pasquale, although he saw it sung upon the st: rce. It was further proved by Mr. Mitchen, sub-treasrtr er, and by Antcliffe, the constable attached to the the: it re, that after the first defendant had been ejected from the house, Mr. Goode went into the lobby, demanded the re-admission of his friend or his money, collared the officer, and behaved with such violence that Mr. :Vit. chen's coat was torn to pieces. Inspector Mackenzie stated that Goode was bailed at the station, but Carpenter, being the worse for drink, was locked-up for the night. Tile defendants complained of undue interference,, in the first place, and undue violence afterwards. IL" hey had not seen each other for some time, and consequf ;.1 Alp the meeting in the theatre was unusually cordial. Car penter called two constables, F 4 and 34, to prove ;that Ihe was sober ; but they agreed in stating that he was drunk. word passed and a blow, but her husband had never struck her so hard as to call for magisterial interference. Mr. Yardley—Now are you sure you have told me the whole truth ? COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—DEc. 13. :Sittings at Nisi Prius at Guildhall, before Lord Campbell and Common Juries.) TOMLINS V. GARRETT. Witndss—l have, sir, and nothing but the truth, in deed the whole truth, so help me God. Mr. Yardley asked the prisoner if he would ask his wife any questions, to which he replied in the negative, and said he had often cautioned his wife against bad company, by whom she had been led away to drink and to do what was wrong. In this case, which was tried yesterday, and resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff, His lordship, on the application of Mr. Serjeant Wilkins, ordered execution to be stayed until next term. Mr. Yardley—l don't want you to make any state ment. The deposition of the woman having been read over, the womaii affixed her mark to it, and in consequence of a communication made by Mr. Debenham relating to the critical state of the patient, the magistrate inquired what chapel she had been in the practice of attending, and she replied the Roman Catholic Chapel in Virginia street, Ratcliff-highway. She was asked if she would like to see a priest of her religion, and she replied by all means. Mr. Yardley, addressing the prisoner, said—l shall not keep you in custody after this evidence, but take your own recognisances to appear before me at the Thames police-court to-morrow morning. Ido this to enable you to attend upon your wife, in accordance with the rules and regulations of this hospital, and hear what she says, that she wishes to have the spiritual advice and consolation of the priest of the Roman Catholic chapel. Flynn assured the magistrate that he would attend upon his wife, and fetch the priest to her ; and having entered into the recognisance, was left with his dying wife with whom he was conversing earnestly when the magistrate left the hospital. Mr. Jardine said the defendants had conducted tie em selves very disgracefully throughout. If people like them were permitted to go and disturb the enjoyme ICI t of others, who went to listen and not to talk, there would very soon be an end of play-going altogether. With respect to Goode, he had not even the poor excusto of being drunk. He should fine both of them the: full penalty of 51. each, or six weeks' imprisonment. The fines were paid ; and Mr. Mitchen was advi'sed to sue Goode in the County Court, if he did not com pensate him for the damage done to his coat. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The present return discovers a decrease of mortality in London on the two previous weeks, but it still indi cates a not very favourable state of public health. The deaths registered in the last four weeks were 1,162, 1,339, 1,414, and (in the week that ended last Saturday) 1,308. In the 10 weeks corresponding to last week of the years 1843-52, the average number was 1,215, which, if raised in proportion to increase of population, becomes 1,337. The actual number of deaths being 1,308, it differs but to a small extent from the estimated amount. - In the course of the afternoon, Mr. Jardine, in .dis posing of some ordinary cab cases, took an opportu r.ity of correcting an erroneous impression that had gone forth in reference to a former decision of his, under the new Hackney Carriage Act. He observed in the pa,p ers of Monday a police report, in which it was stated , iliat he (Mr. Jardine) had decided that a cabman was r►ot entitled to charge for a servant riding on the box outside, and it was made to appear that Mr. Long, the magistrate, differed with him in that opinion. No w, it happened that there was not, and could not be, vb.ny difference of opinion whatever between him and his hr o ther magistrate upon the point in question. The fir st act was passed in June last, and it provided that no extra sixpence should be-paid " when more than two pi h.- sons shall he carried inside." In July the case referred to came before him (Mr. Jardine) and he decided that on provision was made for the extra payment by persons riding outside, although it was open to the cabman, to refuse outside passengers if he liked. In August, b.o w ever, the act was further amended, and very fairly s. D, in the cabman's favour ; and from that time no magistrate could have any doubt whatever upon the subject, the cabman being fully entitled to charge sixpence for , each person over two, whether riding inside or out. The increase in the deaths caused by diseases of the respiratory organs has been the principal feature of late returns. The numbers referred to this class have been in the last four weeks 180, 297, 379, and 343. From phthisis in the tubercular class they were in the same periods 133, 166, 175, and 157. Last week bronchitis was fatal in 159 cases, while the corrected average of ten corresponding weeks (in 1843-52) was 113 ; pneumonia was fatal in 142, while the same average was 134. Typhus and hooping-cough predominate at present amongst epidemic diseases, the former numbering 64 fatal cases, the latter 56. Typhus shows an increased tendency to prevail. Cholera rapidly declines ; it reached its maximum in the first week of November, when the deaths were 102 ; in the five subsequent weeks they have been 98, 72, 46, 28, and (last week) 13. The following is a list of last week's deaths from cholera : CLERKENWELI.--Mr. Robert Francis Web Ti, of Clarence-street, Islington, appeared before Mr. Cc cerie, pursuant to his bail, to answer the charge of having violently assaulted his wife with a red hot poker. At the former examination, Mr. Pelham, the solicitor for the wife, suggested that a deed of separation shoould be drawn up, which was assented to by Mr. Wake ing, the defendant's attorney. Mr. Pelham was not :now present, nor Mr. Wakeling, but the former gentle:lt - Ilan forwarded a letter (which was not publicly read) to. Mr. Corrie. WEST DISTRICTS.— Population, 376, 427.—D eath from Cholera, 1. KENSINGTON ; Brompton.—At 47, Brompton-crescent, on 7th December, a gentlewoman, aged 40 years, " in fluenza (14 days), choleraic diarrhoea, (G days.)" NORTH DlSTRlCTS.—Population, 490,396.—Deaths from Ch - olera, none. Mr. Corrie, after perusing the letter, said the asas ault was not one of a common nature, and he must i n fliet some penalty. It was necessary to have the wife or her attorney present, and he would adjourn the case until that day fortnight. CENTRAL DISTRICTS.—Po pulation, 393,256.—Deaths from Cholera, none. EAST DlSTRlCTS.—Population, 485,522.—D0aths from cholera, 6. WHITECHAPEL ; Goodmans-fields.—At 6, Johnson's front-change, Whitechapel, on 2d December, the wife of a French polisher, aged 21 years, "typhus (6 days), choleraic diarrhcea. (3 days)." Mr. Taylor, the regis trar adds :—" I registered the daughter of this woman, one year old, of cholera, on 26th November last." In the same house, on 4th December, a needlewoman, aged 69 years, " Asiatic cholera (5 days), consecutive fever." LAMBETH.—Mr. John George Brown, practialllg as a surgeon at Clapham, hut whose name is not to be found in the British Medical Directory, was charged with assaulting Edith Diggle. When the case was heard on the previous day, the complainant stated that the defen dant came to a brothel in Gaywood-street, London-road, kept by her father and mother, and having refused t o go away when desired, she and her mother attemptocl to put him out, but while so engaged he knocked her (the complainant) down, and dislocated her arm. The defendant stated in reply that he had been enticed into the house by a pitiful tale told him by two yo ung girls. He accompanied them home, as he thought, in order to test the truth of their story, and did not find out the character of the house until he had entered it. Money was demanded of him for drink, and he gave them a shilling, but that not satisfying them, they ms:de a general attack upon him, and pearly tore all the clothes from his back. In fact, he only escaped from the house with the greatgst difficulty. _ _ WHITECHAPEL ; Aldgate.—At 8, Slater's-court, Blue anchor-yard, Whitechapel, on 6th December, a labourer, aged 30 years, " Asiatic cholera (16 hours)." In the same sub-district, at 1, Kittleby-court, Blue anchor-yard, Whitechapel, on 7th December, the daughter of a journeyman tailor, aged 11 years, "Asiatic cholera (51 hours)."

Mr. Castleden, registrar, adds : "My note of last week respecting the sister of deceased equally applies to this case." SOUTH DlSTRlCTS.—Population, 616,635. Deaths from cholera, 6. Mr. Elliot denounced the conduct of the defendant as most immoral, and intimated that the case must go to the sessions, but he remanded it for the production of further evidence. Yesterday the two prostitutes who had accompanied the defendant to the house, were examined, and gave an account.; of the matter utterly irreconcileable with. his statement. ST. SAVIOUR ; St. Saviour.—At 31, Zaar-street, on sth December, a labourer, aged 40 years, "Asiatic cholera (24 hours)." ST. GEORGE, SOUTHWARK ; Kent-road.—At 18, Cla rendon-street, on 3d December, the daughter of a cigar maker, aged 71 years, " cholera (12 hours)." ST. GEORGE, SOUTHWARK ; Borough-road.----At 29, Mint-street, on Bth December, a gardener, aged 18 years, " bronchitis (3 days), choleraic diarrhcea (4 days)." LAMBETH ; Waterloo (First Part).—At 6, Sidwell place, on 7th December, the daughter of a labourer, aged 3 years, "Asiatic holera (37 hours)." LAMBETH ; Lambeth Church (First Part).—At 4, Vauxhall-walk, on sth December, a labourer, aged 30 years, "cholera (ill about a week), feverish." ROTHERHITHE ; Rotherhithe.—On board the ship Venerable, from liarnouth, in the river Thames, on sth December, a seaman, aged 20 years, "Asiatic cholera 11 hours), premonitory diarrhcea (2 days)." Mr. Binns, who appeared for the defendant, wmuld not attempt to defend the morality or folly of his client, but he contended that the whole object of the parties in taking the present proceeding was to extort money under the plea of compensation. An offer of compro mise had been made since yesterday. They were told if they paid 61., two guineas of which was to go to the doctor, two guineas to the lawyer, and the remainder to the young woman, the complaint should be withdrawn. Of this fact, he should give evidence, and then leave his worship to dispose of the case in whatever way his judg ment might seem meet. Mi. Henry George Lane, a builder, in Nightingale lane, Clapham, and a friend to the defendant, proved the offer, but he admitted that this arrangement was to take place subject only to the consent of the magistrate. Mr. Elliott observed that, with regard to the gross immorality of the case, he had not a single observation to retract. The defence set up on the day before ap peared to be totally devoid of truth, and not very cre ditable to a person in the position of life of the defend ant. The assault complained of did not appear to have been intentional nor premeditated, but was the result of a struggle, and therefore was not one of an aggravated character. The defendant had, on the last examination, represented that he had been violently assaulted by a man, and therefore it was that he (Mr. Elliott) had thought it best to send the case before a jury, when he would have an opportunity of proving the whole of the facts. This part of the defence was, however, now abandoned, and the case was left to one of a dispute arising at a common brothel. He (Mr. Elliott) should not object to the proposed compromise, for it was only just that compensation should be awarded to the in jured party ; and if he gave a decision upon the case it would preclude her from adopting any legal means for recovering damages. On the part of the complainant, it was then agreed to take 41., and this offer was accepted by Mr. Binns on the part of his client. In the sub-district of Camden Town, at 23, Pancras place on the 3d, 4th, and 6th December respectively, two daughters and a son of an engineer, aged 1,3, and 5 years, died of scarlatina maligna, after five, six, and eight days' illness. Mr. Lance, the deputy registrar, says :—" These three children were attacked with ill ness at the same time. The house is clean, situated in an open road, with every appearance of comfort. The drainage is bad, like that of the whole neighbourhood, several cesspools communicating with each other." In the Green sub-district of Bethnal-green, in Chester street, on the 7th of November, the son of a mariner, aged 3 years, died from " diarrhoea caused by a nui sance." Inquest. In the sub district of Charing-cross, at 5, Charles court on the Bth of December, a mason, aged 44 years, died of typhus. Mr. Leonard, the registrar, adds : " This death occurred in the second floor front; wife and three children now ill ; body removed. The room in bad condition from the long illness of the wife.'i In the north-west sub-district of the city of London, at 95, Warwick-lane, on 4th December, the son of a porter, aged 9 months, died of " inflammation of the lungs." The medical attendant remarks :—" A death occurred from fever in the same house a fortnight ago. I consider the stench of the slaughter-houses in War wick-lane, very injurious to persons lying ill." At 6, Wellington-place, Lambeth, the widow of a sawyer, died on 6th December, of hemiplegia, at the great age of 103 years. Last week the births of 838 boys and 790 girls, in all 1,628 children, were registered in London. In the eight corresponding weeks of the years 1845.52 the ave rage number was 1,397. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.001 in. The mean temperature of the week was 39 . 8 deg., which is rather below the average of the same week in 38 years. The mean dew point temperature was 38.0 deg. THAMES.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Yardley at tended at the London Hospital to take the deposition of Catherine Flynn, whose death was apprehended from a wound she was supposed to have received from her husband. She at once recognised the prisoner, and smiled at him affectionately. Mr. Yardley asked the patient if she knew the pur pose for which he attended ? and she replied in the affirmative, but she said she had no evidence to give at all. Mr. Yardley--However that may be, you must be sworn and tell the truth, whatever it is, and whoever it may effect. The woman was then sworn, and said she was the wife of the prisoner and had been married to him 29 years. She was brought to the hospital on the night of Saturday the 3rd instant, in consequence of an injury to her right arm. She had received money from her husband to go to market. While she was out she drank two or three drops with some friends at a public-house, and she came home a little the worse for liquor, but she came round again. After tea she went out again, and got a little more liquor, and was not altogether what was called sober when she returned. She took tea with her husband before she went out a second time, and had a few words with him. She was out for about an hour after tea, and returned home about half-past six o'clock. She was not then perfectly sober. She began to chop some wood with an adze, and her husband pulled the chopper away from her hand with such force that she fell down on ono side upon it and cut her arm. Mr. Yardley—Now you must tell me the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, whatever may be the consequences. He came he take away the chop per from you ? The woman replied she did not know. She was sure her husband did not hurt her, and that her srm was cut by her falling on the edge of the chopper. She was not aware her arm was cut until she saw the blood running fiorn it. Mr. Horace F. Debenham, house surgeon of the hos pital, was her e a pp ea l e d t o b y th e mag i s t ra t e , an d h e sa id the woman's arm was cut right through the whole thick ness, sYard if i t le w y as (t d o on th e e witness)— aw. Now, you know the state you are. Let me exhort you to tell the truth. Witness —It is the truth, I fell on the chopper. Mr. Debenharn— A violent blow must have been in flicted ; the bone is completely cut through. Mr. Yardley—Now my good woman, you hear what the surgeon says. He has also stated you are in very great danger. Let me once more exhort you to tell the truth. The ;woman solemnly declared she had spoken the truth. Mr. Yardley—Have you seen the clergyman ? Witness—No, sir, I have not. Mr. Yardley—l must implore of you to speak the truth for the sake of your own soul. I don't want to lead you to say one word against your husband which is not true, but to tell me simply the truth as to how this occurred. Witness—lt is the truth, sir. Mr. Yardley—Do you mean to say he never struck you with the chopper ? Witness—No, sir, no more than you did that was not there. In answer to further questions by the magistrate the witness said that her husband said nothing to her when she fell on the chopper, and that she made no noise about it at all, but went out and meeting with a young woman was advised to go to the hospital. The prisoner was a good husband to her—too good, for he had often given her good clothes and gone without himself, and she had often pledged his property, Sometimes a bad MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.

Mr. Serjeant Wilkins, with Mr. Hawkins, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Serjeant Shee, with Mr. Peters dorff, for the defendant. Both the plaintiff and defendant in this case are at torneys, and the action was brought to recover damages for certain slanderous words alleged to have been uttered by the defendant reflecting on the plaintiff's character. The defendant pleaded not guilty. It appeared that the plaintiff had been articled clerk to Mr. T. Symes, a brother of the defendant, and on his death had become the attorney of another brother and a sister of the defendant. Proceedings had been taken in Chancery with regard to the will of Mr. T. Symes, in which the plaintiff acted for the defendant's surviving brother and sister, to whom the defendant had said, in conversation, that he was " surprised at their employ. ing Mr. Steinberg, as he was a rogue and a thief, and would rob them through thick and thin." The defendant's brother and sister having proved that he had made use of the words complained of, and denied in cross-examination that they had previously asked his advice with regard to the manner in which the plaintiff conducted their affairs, Mr. Serjeant Shee addressed the jury for the defendant submitting that words spoken by one brother to another regarding family transactions ought clearly to come within the category of a privileged communication. Lord Campbell, in summing up, told the jury that it seemed to him upon the evidence that the words alleged in the declaration had been uttered, and that there was no privilege attending the occasion when they were spoken. If this was their opinion, they would find for the plaintiff. The question of damages was entirely for their consideration. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 501. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Nov. 13. ;Sittings at Nisi Prius in London, before Mr. Justice Cresswell and a Common Jury.) HUGHES V. SAINT. This was an action to recover compensation for an assault, and the damages were laid at 5001. The defen dant pleaded that the plaintiff first assaulted him, and that thereupon he necessarily committed the alleged assault in his own defence. . Mr. Serjeant Byles and Mr Simon appeared for the plaintiff • and Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., and another learned gentleman, were for the defendant. The plaintiff in this case was a groom, and he was for merly in the service of the defendant, who was a keeper and owner of race horses at Epsom. In his service he remained until the 6th April last when he left, in conse quence of the circumstances stated below. The plaintiff, in his evidence said—l have been in the defendant's service for nine years, off and on, and I slept in the harness-room. There was another groom named John Leyton, and on the evening of the 6th of April last he went out. A little after nine o'clock the defendant came to the saddle-room as I was stripped and just getting into bed. lie said " Tom, where is Jack ?" meaning Leyton. I said "He is gone down the street," and he said, " Street be d—. I will let you know, you whether you will let him go down the street or not." I said, " I cannot help it, sir." He then took a stable shovel and made a blow at my head, but I jumped on one side and escaped it. He instantly took it up again and knocked me down, and I was in the act of getting up again when he struck me again. I cocked up my arm to save it, and the corner of the shovel-blade struck right into my arm at the elbow. I dropped my arm, and said, "My arm is broken," and he said, "Yes, you —, and I will break your head." He instantly raised the shovel and struck me on the head, and I fell down insensible, and remained so for about two hours. When Leyton came back I was bleeding from the nose, mouth, and arm. I was very ill through the blows on my head, and I am even up to the present unable to work. In cross-examination, he admitted that he had been twice in prison, and that once he was convicted for three months, and on the other occasion he was acquitted. He denied that he attempted to strike the defendant first. About six o'clock in the morning he went to a chemist's, and afterwards he went to the Downs, and remained there until two or three o'clock, and at night he slept at a beer-house. The day afterwards he went to Mr. Fennell, a surgeon, at Wimbledon. Mr. Edwin Fennell, the surgeon, stated that there was a severe bruise upon ,the plaintiff's arm, and the skin was a little broken. He constantly complained of pain in his head. Witness attended hiM froM the be ginning of April till the end of June, at first daily, and afterwards every other day. Plaintiff complained of a singing in his ears and deafness, which frequently fol lowed a blow on the head. In answer to this case, witnesses were called on the other side. The defendant himself stated that he went to the saddle-room, a little before nine o'clock, and the plain tiff was there, partly dressed, smoking his pipe. Wit ness told him to go to bed and put out the fire and light. About 11 o'clock he saw a light in the saddle-room, and he went there and found the plaintiff getting up, dressing and preparing to go out. He inquired where he was going, and the plaintiff answered him impertinently, and threatened to bundle him out. The plaintiff put his fist up to strike him, and witness, who had his left arm in a sling, took up the shovel with his right hand. The plaintiff struck at witness, and the shovel touched his arm slightly. Witness never struck at him at all. Wit ness had enjoined the grooms not to be both out at the same time. It was necessary the horses should be watched, especially as he had horses then about to run at Epsom. Cross-examined—He was a good-tempered man. He admitted that he had been twice before a magistrate, once for taking a dog into a train, and another for riding too far on the railway and refusing to pay the extra fare. On both these occasions he was accused of assaults. He bad never horsewhipped the plaintiff. He had driven witness's wife out, but witness never horsewhipped the pair of them when they came back. He never struck the plaintiff, and he never in his life beat any other groom. Mrs. Saint said—She went into the saddle-room on the night in question to call her husband, and both the plaintiff and defendant were quite quiet, and did not appear to have been quarrelling. The next morning she paid plaintiff his wages, and he then complained that his master had broken his arm. _ _ John Leyton, the other groom, said that when he got home the plaintiff told him what had happened to much the same effect as stated in his evidence. The wound on the arm appeared slight, and there was a bit of rag over it, and a little blood, just as if a finger had been cut. The jury found averdict for the plaintiff—damages 201. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—Dec. 13. OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) William, Latimer, a gentlemanly-looking young man, said to be very respectably connected, surrendered to take his trial for misdemeanor. The offence imputed to the defendant was that on the 9th November, he had wilfully exposed himself to a young girl named Mary Anne Pinfold, a nursemaid, who was at the time accompanied by three children. The occurrence took place in the Seven Sisters'-road, Hornsey, and the evidence for the prosecution was of a nature to well raise a doubt as to whether the defendant had wilfully committed the act imputed to him. The Recorder observed that if it was any satisfaction to the defendant and his family to hear his opinion upon the charge, it was that it had arisen entirely through a mistake. The jury s a id i t was unnecessary to call any ev id ence to the characte r of the defendant, as they were of opinion that he had no intention to commit the offence imputed to him, and ho would leave the court without the slight est imputation upon his character. ut The Recorder said ho Lev been sent there. concurred with the jury. on the The charge oug h t never to Mr. Clarkso n said that, express his partto of the respectable family of the d efendant, he ee gge obliga tion for what had been stated by his lordship. the only satisfa ction the y coul d receive in th I etpainfulwas position in whi ch the y had been so u nnecessarily placed. A verdict of no t g uilt y was then taken, and the de fendant was ordere d to be immediatel y di scharged. George Henry Snide:, 22, was indicted f or stealing a coat, the property of T homas Hutchings. The prosecutor in this case was a clerk in th e London and Westminster Bank, and it appeared that on the 30th of November he went to a place of refreshment in Cheap. side known by the name of His Lordship's Larder, for the purpose of dining, and hung his overcoat upon a p eg in the dining-room. The prisoner had been in the habit of frequenting the "Larder," and was there on the day in question, and the waiter saw him go deliberately up to the peg where the prosecutor's coat was hanging, un fasten it, and then walk off with it. The moment the prosecutor missed the coat he gave information to Mr. Jones, the proprietor of the establishment, who, from what the waiter said, immediately suspected the prisoner, and he at once took the necessary steps to discover his residence, and upon proceeding there, accompanied by a policeman, a search was made, and a pair of gloves that had been in the pocket of the stolen coat was found underneath his bed. The landlady of the house also proved that on the day of the robbery the prisoner had a great coat on when he came in, and that up to that time she had never observed such a garment upon his person. The jury found the prisoner guilty. Sentence was postponed. Just before the grand jury were discharged they brought in a true bill against several persons for fraud and conspiracy, in connexion with the Leman Estate Fund. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

IVilliam Carpenter, who was described on the charge sheet as a gentleman, of Park villas, Stratford-green • and Mr. Frederick Good', of Arundel-house, Percy -grove, Fulham, were charged with creating a disturbance at the Olympic Theatre, and assaulting the officials. It appeared that Mr. Carpenter entered the theatre at about 10 o clock, and shortly afterwards, on recognising his friend, Mr. Goode, in another box, h e sa l u t e d him and then left his own seat to join company w i t h t h e latter.

The Duke was driving his consort from the palace near Coburg, when the wheel of the carriage passed over a large stone, and he was thrown out, losing hold of the reins. The frightened horses ran away with the carriage down a hill, and brought the vehicle into violent collision with a post. The carriage was com pletely destroyed, yet the Duchess, who was in it, was not the least hurt. The Duke escaped with a sprained foot. BANKRUPTS.

THE DOWN HUNT BALL. —This ball, given by the members of the ".Down Hunt," came off with immense eclat at Newtownards on the evening of Tuesday last. For some time past it had been looked forward to with eager interest, as it was considered a ki❑d of. revival of similar festivities in the good old times when such balls were of more frequent occurrence in the county Down, and when they were resorted to as the recognised occasions of " bringing out" the fair debutantes of successive seasons. The elegant suite of rooms in the Market-house, Newtownards, were splendidly decorated for the reception of the guests, the use of the building having been kindly granted for the purpose by. the Marquis of Londonderry. The noble marquis himself, although unable to partake of the pleasures of the evening, rendered valuable ser vice to the committee in the arrangements for the ball, and in the ornamentation of the rooms. The ball room was newly and tastefully papered and painted for the occasion, as were also the other apartments. Splen did mirrors and costly candelabra threw an air of luxury. and magnificence around the festive scene, and every thing betokened the skill, taste, and attention to suit able detail,, which converted a rural assembly-room into a princely saloon for the entertainment of rank, fashion, and beauty. It is now 16 or 20 years since a similar ball took place in the county, but the preseut sur passed all previous ones in brilliancy and effect. About three hundred of the nobility and gentry of the county of Down and Antrim, of the surrounding neigh bourhood, and from distant localities, were present. They were received on their arrival by the mem bers of the Down Hunt, who were dressed in their very handsome• evening costume, and who were unfailing, throughout the evening, in those courtesies and at tentions towards their guests which might be expected from gentlemen of their social rank. The evening passed off with the most decided success, accom panied with all the agremens of a delightful festivity. The band of the 12th Regiment, from Belfast, was in at tendance, and also a quadrille band, from Dublin. Dane ing was kept up with unabated vigou r throughout the night, and it was not until an advanced hour on Wednesday morning that the brilliant re-union separated. It was matter of general regret, amidst the prevailing delight, that the Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry were unable to be present ; both took the warmest inte rest in the success of the ball. Their noble family mansion at Mount-Stewart was filled with guests who had been invited to the entertainment ; as were, in deed, all the residences of the nobility and gentry in the neighbourhood. In the recollection of " the oldest in habitant," there never before was known or heard such rolling of equipages bete een Belfast and Newtownards, as on the night of 'the Down Hunt Ball.—Belfast News Letter. DEATH OF GENERAL GODWIN. —We are sorry to state that the Overland Mail brings intelligence of the death of Major-General Henry Godwin, C 8., which took place at Simla, army since 1799, and his services while in command of the troops during the Burmese war are too fresh in the recollection of our readers to require any reference. It is a melancholy circumstance that the very last number of the Gazette contained General Godwin's appointment as K.C.B. and Colonel of the 20th Regi ment,• honours which, unfortunately, have turned out to have bben but posthumous. The colonelcy of the 20th is thus again placed at Lord Hardinge's disposal. [ADVERTISEMENT. LIEUTENANT OF DRAGOONS CURED OF RHEUMATISM BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—This officer, who is in the Dutch army, states..that Holloway's Pills and Ointment have cured him of rheumatism, which appeared to be incurable, as neitkir sea-bathing, vapour-baths, nor preparations vaunted as sure remedies, did him any good, and the treatment of the doctor, after several mouths' trial, was without suc cess. At this juncture he commenced taking these Pills and rubbing the Ointment into the complaining parts twice a day, which effectually cured him in the course of six weeks.- The .truth of this statement can be vouched for by Mr: J. B. Stratman, of Bois-le-Duc.--Sold by all drug gists ; and at Professor Holloway's establishment, 214, strand, London. COUNTRY MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, DEC. 13.
