The leaders of the French Liberals are divided into three great parties. First, we have the Gauche Party, represented by such men as Berenger—Bignon—and the Temps. They claim Dupin, and Dupin claims them ; but I fear he belongs to the " juste milieu." These men are also represented by the Constitutionnel. They love constitu tional monarchical institutions—they think, that though a Republic is the best form of government for a new state, it is not for an old one—that republicanism would not do in France—that it would involve her in war—and that though the Charter of 1830 be defective, yet that it is better to keep that which we have, and endeavour, by degrees, to improve it—than to risk the return of the Doctrinal and then of the Royalist systems—which, they much appre hend, would be the consequence of any new insurrection at Paris. This party, however, is decidedly patriotic. It would not consent to the ruin of Poland—nor to the invasion of Italy and Germany by Austria—nor to the interference of Spain in the affairs of Portugal-- nor to the disgrace of France in the Belgian question. This party would tell Europe plainly, " we admit that we desire peace, because we think that the cause of the people is always best evinced by peace, and can seldom be bsne fited by war. But though we desire peace, we will make no snore sacrifices. It is as much your interest to secure peace as it is ours—you cannot afford war any more than we can—we have a larger and snore enthusiastic army than you have—and if the affairs of Belgium are not set tled to the satisfaction of the Belgians, we shall take the matter into our hands and arrange it without your inter vention. You must also now disarrn—put your military establishments on a peace footing, and show, by your ac tions, as well as by your words, that you desire frankly and sincerely to he at peace with France, or we shall march an army to the Rhine—an army to Warsaw—an army to Italy—and an army to the Pyrennees. We will not, in fine, remain any longer in this state of doubt ; and we will have, without delay, certain peace, or certain war !" These are the opinions, and these would be the words, or nearly so, of a " Bignon and Dupin," " Berenger" and " Temps" or " Constitutional" Government in France, and for this party today there is a decided majority in the present Chamber of Deputies. A Dupin—Bignon —and Berenger Ministry would have two thirds of the Chamber of Deputies for it as at present constituted ; hut a new Chamber would be still more liberal !! The interior policy of this sort of Administration would be rather too monarchical for France. It would not extend, as it should do, the suffrage to a large body of constituents, i. e. to all who are National Guards—for I hold that every man who is deemed worthy to be a National Guard, must also, both physically, morally, and mentally, be worthy of voting for Deputies to the Chamber. This Gauche Ca binet would also in time find, that on many questions of vast importance to the permanent well-being of France, they do not think with the majority of the nation—but yet they would prepare admirably the way for an extreme Gauche, or Odillon Barrot Administration ! The Am bassadors at Paris felt this, and therefore they pressed the appointment of the Doctrinnaires. This Gauche or Bignon and Berenger party, would nut grant more liberty to the Press, but it would not prosecute, as do the juste milieu and the Doctrinnaires. It would not resort to il'egal measures—to "states of siege" or martial law, or " prevotal Courts ;" but it would resort to all legal mea sures for putting down the carlist party, arresting Carlist intrieues, and bringing to a settlement the affairs of La Vendee. This Gauche or Berenger party is infinitely more popular and national than the juste-milieu or than the Doctrinnaires, but it resembles the mission of John the Baptist, who prepared the way for one who was greater than he, and whose shoe latchets he was not worthy to unloose. THE SECOND PARTY IS THE ODILLON BARROT PARTY —And this is the party which must triumph in France unless its success is to be impeded by foreign war and a third Restoration ! I say " unless," because, since the ap pointment of the Doctrinnaires, this "unless" is necessary to be put in on every occasion, and in every letter and discussion. The party of M. Odillon Barrot is the party of the mass—of the millions—of the patriotic portion of the National Guards, shop-keepers, and small merchants —of the patriotic portions of the rentiers and officers of the National Guards—of the patriotic portions of the army and navy, and of nine hundred and ninety out of a thou sand of the students at Schools and Colleges. This party is therefore immensely numerous, and is represented by the most talented journals in France. It is true that they are divided into two fractions—the one who think that a Mo narchy, surrounded with Republican institutions, might be made the permanent Government of France—and the other, who think, that after the experience of the two last years, this union is impossible —and that in two or three years the Republican institutions must gain the mastery. All, however, agree that no legitimate throne, or quasi legi timate throne, can be permanent in this country—and that any attempt to deprive the people of the programme of the July Revolution must be ultimately abortive. The Cour tier Francais, Message,. des Chambres, and Journal du Commerce, may be said to represent the one faction—and the National to speak the language and thoughts of the other party. Yet M. Odilllon Barrot is their mutual leader —and both fractions roost deservedly place con fidence in him. First of all, both parties are for ob taining the Republican institutions with the Monarchy —and wish to see triumph everywher e the principle of ' Election," or the interference of the people by voting by ballot in all th e ir stfairs. Wh en t h ese institutions shall surround the throne, it is possible that the two fractions might divide—but all are united in obtaining this result in effecting this national triumph. The Odillon Barrot party is " the Compte Rendu" party! One hundred and sixty have already signed that document, and at least from 15 to 20 more will vote with it, though their signa tures are not affixed to the document. This party is called abroad " The War Party." This is a false applica• tion of terms. M. Odillon Barrot is an opulent man— roost of those who are active agents of his party are opulent too—they have nothing to gain, and touch to lose by war. They must pay war taxes, they must send their sons and nephews to the army, and they must stand the chance ; for in war there are the chances of war—of seeing once more their fine estates and noble chateaus oc cupied or overrun by foreign armies. But though they have nothing to gain by war, and cannot desire it for the sake of oaring cannon, or sieges, and marches ; yet they are riot for submitting to the despotic policy of the Holy Alliance, and desire to see the people of Italy, Germany, Poland, Belgium, Spain, and Portugal as free and as enlightened —as happy and as civilised as they appeared to desire to be when they rose in 1830 and 1831, to break the fetters which had bound them during the Restoration. This party also claims the union of Belgium to France! It is right in thus acting. All other combinations are tempo rary, shuffling, postponing in their character. The union of Belgium to France can alone secure to the former country happiness and prosperity. The Odillon Barrot party would openly espouse the cause of Donna Maria— would not prevent the entry of Mina, Valdez, and the Spanish Refugees into Spain—would not allow the Ger manic Confederation to be swamped by the Governments of Berlin and Vienna—and would tell the Austrian army to retire front the Papal States, and leave the Pope and his subjects to settle their differences among themselves. The Odillon Barrot party would demand—and would not demand in vain—the nationality of Poland—would secure to Greece her just limits and national institutions—and would hold out the right hand of a sincere and honest alliasce to a reformed Government of Great Britain. The Odillon Barrot party would compel Europe to disarm, or else go to war—would vanquish in one month the counter- Revolution—would put down in 15 days the Insurrection in La Vendee—and would convince European despots that France was no longer to be trifled with and derided. The Odillon Barrot party would extend the elective suf frage—diminish the public burthens—revise the jury and the press laws—throw itself on public opinion—would nut lie obliged to resort to illegal measures and extraordinary and unconstitutional tribunals—would have no insurrec tions to fear at Paris or in the departments—would re move the Carlists and Henriquinquistes, the Doctrinnaires and the deplorable juste-milieu from office in the pro vinces, where they do even more injury than at Paris— would place the finances of the country on a proper basis-- would revise the Charter —make a National Senate instead of a trumpery and despised Peerage for life, only named by Alinisters—would render the agents of the Government responsible, from the Prime Minister to even a Prefect of Police—would destroy sinecures—abolish useless places, and march with the nation and the revolution of July.— This party has the departmental press in its favour. Wherever its active members go, they are received with banquets and serenades—whilst the poor juste-milieu are saluted with Chariraris and execrations. This is the National party ! Do you think it can be permanently kept out of power, and from directing the affairs of France? I tell you—No ; a thousand times no—it is impossible! The third portion of the active part of the Liberals are Republicans—and are represented by the Tribune, the Na tional, and the Revolution. You must not suppose that Lafayette belongs to this party. He does not. He thinks —believes—nay, is convinced, that ultimately a Repub lican Government will be established in France; but for the present, he is for a popular throne surrounded with Republican institutions. Some persons say that this is jesuitical on :he part of Lafayette. I deny this. Lafa- yette is not for pressing upon France what France does not for the moment demand, and does not appear to be prepared for. As France for the moment only requires a popular throne, and that throne surrounded by republica❑ institutions, why Lafayette asks for no more than this for France. In common with such men as Berenger, the songster of France, and with Lafitte, who ruined himself to save his country, he thinks that the moment has not yet arrived for declaring a republic, and that we not only do not serve, but injure the cause of true liberty, in attempt ing to force on a people any fat m of Government, how ever desirable, which is not understood or claimed by the mass. The active and immediate Republican party is, how ever, very numerous; and every approach which the Go. vernment makes towards the Droite, or towards the Car lists or Henriquinquistee, adds sensibly to their numbers. Their journals are talented—but the best by far is the National. Indeed the National is the best written liberal journal in France, as the Gazette is the best written Royalist pper. The leaders are various—hut M. Cabet —M. Gamier Pages—M. Laboissiere—M. de Cormenin, &c. are the principal and most influential. The editors of the Tribune are also much looked up to—and their actual bodily sufferings fur their political opinions have, of course, added to their popularity. 0. P. Q. OLD BAILEY, OCT. 20. Mary Ann Thompson, a good-looking young woman, was indicted for feloniously uttering a forged 5/. Bank of England note. On the let of October, about nine o'clock in the evening, the pri soner entered the shop of Mr. Saunders, linen draper, of Oxford•street, and tendered the note in payment for a shawl and other articles she had se lected. Mr. Saunders told her it was a forgery, on which the prisoner was given into custody. The prisoner, in her defence, called a young woman, named S.iralt Green. She knew the pri soner to be an unfortunate woman, but she herself was a baby-linen•maker, in 'Whitechapel. On the Ist of October she met the prisoner about seven o'clock in the evening, and she walked with her some time. An old gentleman at length came up and spoke to the prisoner, who left witness's com pany. Witness walked behind them, and after some time heard the gentleman say he would make her a present of a shawl. He then took out his purse, ob serving at the time that he had nothing but 5/. notes with him. Witness then left them from mo ti% es of delicacy. The Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. Mary Sharpe, a handsome girl, about 20, was in dicted for uttering a forged 5/.Bank of England note to Mr. Chambers, a grocer, of 38, Marchmont-street, on the Ist of October; the prisoner was given into custody when she had tendered the note. Verdict—Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. The conductor of an omnibus, the property of Mr. William Craggs, was summoned by a Mr. Todd under the following circumstances : Mr. Todd stated, that he and his wife came from Tottenham-court-road to the city in the omnibus of which the defendant was the conductor, and as the fare was sixpence a-head, he gave the defendant a shilling as payment for both. He was, however, a little surprised at being collared by the defendant, who insisted that his fare was a shilling a-head, and upon being refused, actually put him and his wife in the watch-house. The complainant added, that the same man had put eight more persons in the watch-house fur the same conduct, although he admitted that he had taken sixpence for th e journey. The LORD MAYOR ordered the defendant to find good bail. A CHALLENGE.—A robust, well-looking young man, named John Walker, was summoned before the LORD MAYOR on Saturday, by a Mr. Bullard, a feeble old man, for having invited him to a meeting with pistols or other warlike weapons. Mr. Bul lard said that the defendant had felt aggrieved in consequence of some unsatisfactory pecuniary matters in which they were concerned, and, after having used a great deal of menacing and opprobrious language, had sent him the following invitation : " Mr. Bullard, you know you have ruined me and my family. I will meet you to-morrow morning. I will send you a pistol full of powder and bullets ; and if you refuse that you are no man. " JOHN WALKER. "P.S. You will choose your own place.—Your answer." Mr. Bullard's answer was, that he would meet Mr. Walker at the Mansion-house, where they might have the assistance of the Lord Mayor as a second. The LORD MAYOR (to the complainant)—And are you serious in saying that you are alarmed at this letter ? Complainant—l certainly am. He has, since I came into this room, threatened to ex tinguish me —to shake my body into air. It is not agreeable to be spoken to in such a manlier by one who appears to be turned in his head. The LORD MAYOR—Defendant, what is your ob ject in frightening this gentleman ? Defendant— Because he has ruined me and my family. The LORD MAYOR—But this is a sort of redress which I cannot countenance. You must not shoot a man because he may have done you wrong. De fendant—But he has injured me so much that I could not help challenging hint to shoot, and he has not the spirit to shoot. The LORD MAYOR —No, he feels a very rational antipathy to being shot at, and I don't at all wonder at it. Defendant—Aye, my Lord, that's because he has not the spirit of a tnan, nor the spirit of the most loathsome thing existing.—(Laughter.) Complainant —He has taken it into his head that I have done him some grievous wrong; and I never :aid or did anything against the man in my life. Defendant—You have, fellow, done me great wrong, and I shall take my revenge, and it shall be large.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—Upon my word, as you seem to think that this is not a mere laughing matter, I shall make you find bail to keep the peace. I won't have my fellow -citizens shot at like scare-crows. The complainant looked anything but joyful at the repetition of such " bloody-minded" language in the presence of the Lord Mayor, and referred to it as an additional reason for tying the hands of the defendant. Defendant—You know, Bullard, that you are an old sinner, and I am but a young one—(Laughter) —or I would destroy you with my fist; but as you are old, I'll give you a chaste with powder and bullets. you know you don't deserve it, but the chance you shall have. — (Laughter.) —Th e complainant very wisely declined the " chance" once more, and re commended Mr. Walker, if he had an importunate appetite for fighting, to go where he could get glory along with it ; and if he got an unlucky extinguisher, he memory of him would be embalmed in the minds of a whole people.—(Laughter.) The defendant said that his mind could not be satisfied at shooting anybody but the complainant, and begged to decline fighting either for the Poles or the Portuguese until he should have cleared his private matters with shooting fire at Mr. Bul lard.—(A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR then ordered the defendant to find two bail in 201. each. The defendant said—" Very well, my Lord," and was walking ofl•, but was told by the gaoler that if he did not immediately provide the necessary secu rities he must be locked up. This intelligence cooled him very much, and in about an hour he was bailed by a lady and gentleman. GUILDHALL. On Saturday George Blotch, aged 16, was charged with burglariously entering the dwelling house of Mr. Duncan, cheesemonger, in the Broad way, Blaakfriars. The prisoner was committed for trial. Mr. Alderman WILSON, being called in on busi• ness, took the opportunity to observe, that the om nibuses now kept such good order in Ludgate-street, that the inhabitants felt no inconvenience from them, and the officers had no trouble. It seemed that the drivers only wanted to be told what they ought to do, and he was very glad to see them conforming so willingly to the law. Mr. Alderman KELLY bore testimony to the abatement of the obstruction and nuisance. _ _ Mr. Alderman WILSON observed, that his de cision had been impeached, and he bad been re ferred to the 2d and 3d William IV. cap. 120, sec. 31. his attention was directed to that clause be fore he fined the 21 omnibus drivers, but the party who disputed his decision had put out of view a part of the section which was material. The sec tion, after enacting that it shall be lawful for the driver of any stage-carriage to stand or ply, and to take up or set down passengers at any place within five miles of the Post-office, proceeded (and this was what had been suppressed), " any thing con tained in an Act passed in the last session of Par liament for ameding the laws relating to hackney carriages notwithstanding." Here was nothing re pealing the authority of the Magistrates under the city Sewer Act (14 Geo. IV. c. 114), to prevent obstructions. If the clause had run " any" Act of Parliament to the contrary notwithstanding, then it would have had a different sense, and any thing in the Sewer Act at variance with it would have been overridden. The Ace, however, which the clause affected, was specially mentioned—the Hackney coach Act, and that alone was repealed by it. He had no doubt of the legality of his convictions. The whole object Of the clause referred to was obviously to enable the short stages to take up pas sengers on the stones, and carry them short dis tances thereon, so that the coach does not deviate from its prescribed route, which the driver could not legally do before. BO W-STREET. On Saturday Henry Jackson, John Pritchard, Thomas Burton, and Caroline Williams, were brought before Mr. MINSHULL, on the charge of having been concerned in a burglary which took place at the house and workshop of Mr. Halfpenny, jeweller, of No. 8, Serle's-place, Carey-street, on the night of Thursday week, when bank-notes and jewels were stolen to the amount of 700/. and up wards. Mr. MINSHULL asked Higgins, the officer, what evidence he had against the prisoner Caroline Wil liams ? Higgins replied that she had been frequently seen in the company of Evans, the lad who had absconded, and was observed speaking to him close to the house of the prosecutor on the day previous to the robbery. The MAGISTRATE observed, that although this circumstance appeared suspicious, it was not suffi cient to warrant him in detaining the young woman any longer. She was accordingly ordered to be discharged. ___.... Higgins then said that Williams and the prisoner Burton cohabited together, and it was this circum stance, together with the fact of his having been acquainted with the lad Evans, that led to his ap prension. Burton then declared that he knew nothing what ever of the robbery, but admitted that he knew Evans, who about six weeks ago accosted him in the Three Tuns public-house, Brook-street, Hol born, and offered him the key of his master's door, telling him that there was plenty of property in the house. He (Burton), however, declined the offer, and Evans then offered the key to another man who was sitting in the tap-room, whom he (pri soner) advised to have nothing to do with it. He then kicked Evans out of doors, and had never seen him since. Mr. MiNsituLL said, that as there was no evidence against Burton he should discharge him also. The Magistrate then asked if there was any probability of obtaining additional evidence against the other two prisoners. Higgins was quite convinced in his own mind that both Pritchard and Jackson were concerned as prin cipals in the robbery, and he fully expected on a future day to produce evidence to that effect. Pritchard and Jackson were accordingly remanded for a week. A gentleman, who stated that he was an Irish barrister, applied to Mr. MlssnuLL, at the evening sitting, for a warrant against a person whom he de scribed as having formerly been attached to the lite rary department of a London morning newspaper, and whom he charged with having, by a false re presentation, obtained from the lady of the house in which he (the applicant) lodged, two letters, which came by post from Ireland, directed to him. Mr. MlNsituLL asked the applicant if he had ever given the accused any authority to receive his letters. The applicant replied most certainly not. He had been on terms of friendship with the accused, and had assisted him in various ways, but latterly he had had no dealings with him whatever. On Wednesday last, during his temporary absence, the accused came to the house where he lodged, and represented to the landlady that he had his, applicant's, autho rity to receive his letters, in consequence of ►which representation the landlady handed him the two let ters in question. Mr. AliNstruLL— Did the letters contain money ? Applicant —I really cannot say whether they did or not, but I apprehend that the fact of obtaining them by means of a false representation is a misdemeanour at common law. Mr. MINsuuLL agreed that it was so, and told him that if he would draw up an information and swear to the facts alleged, a warrant might be granted against the party charged. The applicant withdrew, saying that he should present the information to the Magistrate on Monday. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Brock, the proprietor of the Coffee-house over the coach-office, No. 53, Piccadilly, appeared before Mr. CONANT on Saturday, to answer to three summonses procured against him by Johnson, the well-known informer, for selling coffee before the hour appointed by Act of Parliament. Mr. CONANT directed that a fine of 20s. should be imposed for each of the three offences, which penalties, with the expenses, were immed ately paid by Mr. Brock. MARY LEB ONE. Count Sigisn:;cl=, late an officer in the Polish army, very fashionably attired, and wearing a formidable pair of mustachios, was charged on Saturday w►th stealing a valuable silk dress belong ing to a Noble Duche,s, whose name did not tran spire, from the Magazin des Modes of Mrs. Smith, 291, Regent•street. Mrs. Smith was the wife of Mr. R. Smith, the ironmonger, in Curzon-street, May-fair, and carried on the Magazin des Modes in Regent -street. On Monday last prisoner called at her house, and after endeavouring to make her understand him, wrote down that he was a Polish officer, and wished to see Mr. Smith. He then went away, and called aga:n on Wednesday last. He was ushered into the par lour, but while Mrs. Smith was preparing to come down stairs, Miss Pierpoint, one of her assistants, saw him hasten from the parlour into the street. On going into the parlour, the Duchess of —'s dress, which had been packed up to be sent home, wa , missed. That morning (Saturday) the prisonet was recognized by a young man named Harrison, to whom a description► of his person had been given, and Williams, a beadle of Marylebone, was told to take him into custody. Williams spoke to him on the subject of the dress in French and Portuguese, but the Count would make no reply. Williams then bawled out " You are my prisoner," after which the prisoner flew into a great passion, and was wit!. difficulty taken to the station. A duplicate for a gold watch, and half-a-crown, were found on him. The prisoner, through an interpreter, denied the robbery, and asked if it was likely a gentleman and an officer would disgrace himself so much ? He admitted having called upon Mr. Smith, thinking he was Mr. Schmidt, a friend of his; that he resided at No. 15, Queen-street, Golden-square, and could produce testimonials of his bravery and good moral character.—Remanded to Wednesday. Stephen Howes, aged 18, was charged on suspi cion of stealing eight beautiful hariers, the property of same person unknown.—Remanded. QUEEN-SQUARE. On Saturday, a young man very respectably at tired, was charged with attempting to put an end to his existence by throwing himself off Waterloo bridge. A policeman on the previous night, about twelve o'clock, as he was on duty on Waterloo-bridge, ob served the prisoner scaling the balustrades, and be lieving that he meditated self-destruction, he ran and seized him by the skirts of his coat, just at the moment that he was about to precipitate himself into the river. The prisoner struggled desperately to clear himself from his grasp. T , .vo persons who were passing at the time, rendered their assistance, but so determined did the young man appear to commit self-destruction, that it was with great diffi culty they could prevent him throwing himself ofl the parapet, or themselves from being dragged along with him. The prisoner was conveyed to the station-house in the Waterloo-road, and from his sullen and taciturn manlier, inspector Grahame suspected that he had taken poison. Mr. Cook, the parish surgeon, was sent for, who very promptly attended and bled him. Mr. Cook also administered such medicines as he deemed most proper for coun teracting the effects of any poison which the prisoner might have taken. The inspector desired the rash young man to be placed on a bed, and ordered a man to watch him closely that he did not lay violent hands upon himself. About six o'clock in the morn ing the prisoner became more calm and collected, but all that could be gathered from him was, that his name was Daniel Marley, that he had no father or mother, but resided with his relatives, at No. 3, Southampton-street, Fitzroy-square. A policeman was sent thither, but was unable to find out any per son who had a knowledge of the prisoner. Mr. MARRIOTT observed, that he should intrust the prisoner in the hands of inspector Grahame, whom he wished to inatitute further inquiries re specting the relations of the young man ; and if he could discover any persons into whose care the pri soner might with safety be confided, to deliver him up to them.—The prisoner was then removed. LAMBETH-STREET. On Saturday William Tilbury, the young man who was found roaming about Epping Forest on Monday morning last, and who, on being questioned on the subject, acknowledged himself to be the owner of a bag of books which was found on the Wednesday before, was brought before the Sitting Magistrates, Messrs, HARDWICK and WALKER, for final examination. Mr. Pritchard, the inspector of the mounted Bow street patrol stationed at Laytonstone and S.ratfoed, stated that since the last examination of the prisoner he had ascertained that the account which he had given of himself when before their Worships was correct. Mr. Gill, his late master, Mrs. Johnson, his landlady, and other persons were present, who would give some further particulars about him. Mr. Gill said that the prisoner had been bound to him to learn the business of a shoemaker, and though he was upwards of six years with him, he was unable, both from his negligence and stupidity, to teach him any part of the business. He was of a most passionate disposition, and left witness in Fe bruary last, without completing the term of his apprenticeship. Mrs. Johnson stated, that about the beginning of March last the prisoner came to lodge at her house in Plaistow, Essex, and had, at the time, about GO/. in money, which she understood he had received from his friends. He was frequently in the habit of going to the theatres, particularly that of Covent garden, having conceived a most violent passion for Miss Fanny Kemble. He had frequently confessed to witness his sincere attachment for that young lady, and betrayed great uneasiness of mind and de spondency of spirits when she was about to leave London for America. He had purchased a hand somely-coloured print of that distinguished actress in the character of Juliet, and was frequently in the habit of presenting himself before it, arid repeat ing, in the most impassioned manner, some of the passages in the play of Romeo and Juliet, and seemed altogether a lost youth. She, witness, had fre quently endeavoured to prevail on him to discard such foolish thoughts from his mind, and apply him self to his trade, or some industrious pursuits, but it was all in vain ; he spent his time in idleness, reading, and going to the theatres, until his money was nearly expended, and left her house on Friday fortnight, taking with him a blue bag full of books, and she had not seen him from that time until that morning at the office. When she first heard of the bag of books having been found, her impression was that the prisoner had committed an act of self destruction, as she had for some time feared, from the eccentricity of his manners and the imbecility of his mind, that he would commit an act of suicide. It was further stated that the prisoner's father had died in a madhouse, where he had been previ ously confined. The Magistrates, on hearing this, observed that the prisoner could not be permitted to go at large. By his own confession he had committed an act of vagrancy by sleeping for more than ten nights in the open air in the forest, and therefore they would ommit him for two months to the House of Cor rection at Ilford. There the medical man who at tended the prison would have an opportunity of seeing him, and if it was found that the state of his mind was such that it was not proper that he should be at large, means would be taken to send him to his legal place of settlement, where care would be taken of him. THAMES POLICE. On Saturday, Captain R. Robelt, master of the bark Romulus, lying in the West India Docks, was charged with the wilful murder of John Baptiste, a man of colour, and the cook of the vessel. The Magistrates discharged the Captain, and told the seamen, who said they had not made the charge before because they wanted to secure their wages, that they were worthless fellows. It was plain that the whole was a vile conspiracy. (From the Ports:Tont': frei-alat of Sunday.) POTSMOUTN, OCT. 20.—Hie Majesty's schooner Hornet, '`,l 10, Lieut. F. R .
