NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 2 Rear-Admiral of the White, Sir Edmund Lyons, Bart., G.C.8., K.C.8., will, we believe, be sent out to the Mediterranean as second in command of the British fleet . on that station. The Fairy Royal yacht, Master-Commander Welch, was taken out on Friday for a trial of Griffiths's patent screw. Mr. Baker, chief engineer and inspector of ma chinery of the Victoria and Albert, was on board direct ing the experiments. She made six runs along the mea sured mile, the mean return of which gave 12.463 knots per hour, with scarcely any vibration, .being an increase of three-tenths of a knot upon . the .last trial with the same screw, but at a different pitch,. both blades being at 9 feet 8i inches. This trial was to enable Mr. Grif fiths to determine which was the best pitch for this Screw to be, worked with, and the result determined him to fix it at that above given, as the best, considering the power used for the speed obtained, with ease of motion. Mr. Murray, the superintending engineer of Portsmouth dockyard, will now cast a screw with these improve ments before his eyes, to compete with Mr. Griffiths's. It is considered highly probable that a basin and an in creased number of docks will he formed, to add to the efficiency of Chatham dockyard. The Lords of the Admiralty have directed experiments to be made in several of the dockyards on Mr. Burgess's process for coating iron bolts and nails with copper and brass. Should the result be favourably reported on, a large saving in the expense of material will be effected by using coated iron fastenings in lieu of copper in the building of ships for the navy. Mr. Chatfield, assistant-master shipwright of Chat hair, dockyard, is expected to be promoted to master sMpwright of Deptford dockyard, vice Wilcox, super 7.,nuated. This office has now been for some months filled by a foreman, much to the surprise of the service. The Banshee arrived at Spithead on Friday night from Queenstown, and is ordered to Woolwich to be paid off. The Dauntless, 24, screw-frigate, is ordered to be rigged and prepared for the first-class of the steam re serve at this port. The Tribune, 30, screw, Capt. the Hon. S. T. Carnegie, arrived at Spithead this morning to be docked, to have a leak in her stern frame stopped. FIVE P.M. The Leopard, 12, Capt. Loring, has just arrived from he fleet, which sailed from Queenstown on the morning of Friday, about six o'clock. Adiniral Corry's division, consisting of the Prince Regent, 90 (flag) ; Duke of Wellington, 131 (pendant) • St. Jean d'Acre, 101; Lon d n. 90 ; Imperieuse, 51; Arrogant, 47; Amphion, 34 ; Il ighflyer, 21, and Desperate 8, is ordered to cruise be tween Queenstown and Scilly until the 15th inst., then to return to Spithea.d. The Cruiser, 14, is ordered to join, him at the rendezvous. Besides the Tribune and Leopard (already arrived), the Blenheim and Sidon are ordered to Spithead. The Queen, Agamemnon, Hogue, a.nd Valorous, are ordered to Plymouth. The whole fleet was outside Queenstown harbour all day on Friday in light winds. The Tribune and Leopard parted com pany with themi n the evening. Seven p.m.—The Sidon is now corning up. PLYMOUTH, OCT. 2. The steam-vessel Avon arrived to-day from Queens. town. The ste..m•vessel Sprightly, with seamen and ma rines, arrived this morning from Portsmouth, and re turned again at two o'clock this afternoon. This morning, about eight o'clock, a portion of the Channel fleet entered the Sound. It consisted of her Majesty's ship Queen, 110, Capt. Frederick T.Mitchell; he Agamemnon screw steam-ship, 91, Capt. Sir Thomas Maitland • the Imperieuse, screw frigate, 50, Captain Rundle B. Watson ; La Hogue, screw block ship, 60, Captain William B. Ramsay ; the Valarous, paddle frigate, 16, Captain Claud H. M. Buckle; and the Vul ture, paddle steam-frigate, 6, Captain Frederick H. H. Glasse. The Agamemnon, the only stranger, saluted the flag of Port Admiral Sir John A. Ommanney, and ♦vas replied to by the Impregnable, 104, Captain Arthur Lowe, in Ilamoaze. The Queen is to be placed in the new dock at Key ham to have her copper examined and repaired. The Imperieuse is to receive a new foremast. The Valorous having been struck by a sea, is to be repaired at the Devonport dockyard. The crews of the Agamemnon, Valorous, and Vul ture are to be paid wages up to the 31st of August. The frigate Leander, 50, Captain G. St. Vincent King, has had all her repairs completed, and is now ready for sea. Her crew have gradually returned to the ship, and there are now only three men, of indiffer ent character, akelt. QLTEENSTOWN, SEPT. 29. THE CHANNEL FLEET. The Lords of the Admiralty, during their visit to Queenstown, have promoted Lieutenant Hosken, late of the Great Britain, and now commanding the Banshee dispatch vessel, to the rank of Commander. Their lordships got aground in 'the Banshee on the 24th, while cru'ing round Cork harbour, but pho.„ floated off in ab o ut t wo (lours, with no damage.' Boats of thefleet were sent to her assistance. It is now generally understood that the resources for refitting and victualling ships of war at Queenstown are to be materially increased, and that the naval establish ment at Haulbowline Island is to be remodelled and placed on a more permanent footing. Lieutenant Fegen, of the Agamemnon, has been tried by court-martial on charges of disobedience of orders, neglect of duty, and contempt towards his captain. The latter charge only was proved, after a trial of two days, and the prisoner was sentenced to be dismissed his ship and placed at the bottom of the list of lieutenants. Rear-Admiral Corry, with the Prince Re g ent, St. Jean d'Acre, Arrogant, Ampllion, Highflyer, Duke of Wellington, London, Imperieuse, and Desperate, were under weigh to-day at 3 p.m., for a cruise, to return to Spithead by the 15th of October. The paddle steamers are to be distributed to the horn e ports. The Leopard was to go direct to Portsmouth. Rear-Admiral Corry put to sea with sealed orders, which he was commanded not to open until he made the signal to Commodore Martin's division to part com pany. At 5 p.m. to-day, the weather having become thick and threatening, the order for proceeding to sea was annulled, but the fleet was ordered at the same time to be ready by 5 a.m. to-morrow morning One of the second assistant-engineers of the Duke of Wellington has " run" since her stay at Queenstown, and a reward has been offered for his apprehension. A sad accident has happened to Lieut. Fitzgerald, of Marines, belonging to the Terrible, by the want of thought of some midshipman, whom - he met returning from shooting. It appears he asked the youngster some question, upon which the latter answered, " I will let you know who I am," firing off his gun in the marine officer's face. Happily it was not loaded with shot, although the force of the powder has destroyed the sight of one eye, if not both. How it was done or by whom is at present unknown. SHEERNESS, OCT. 1. The President, 50, Captain Richard BuiTidge.—The officers and crew of this frigate were inspected and mus tered yesterday by Vice-Admiral the Hon. Jocelyn Percy, Commander-in-Chief. She proceeded to the Great Noire this morning, and at 10.30 saluted the admiral's flag, which was returned by the Waterloo, 120 guns. The President is ordered to proceed direct for Plymouth to complete her complement of seamen, many of whom are waiting at that port for her arrival. The Arab 12-gun sloop, Commander Graham Ogle, Was towed down from Chatham yesterday, and is now riding off Blackstakes, taking in ammunition, shell, &c. OCT. 2. The Tyne, 4, store-ship, Master-Commander Peter Wellington, from the westward, brought up at the Nore this morning. The steam tender .(to Waterloo) Wildfire has been sent out from here and taken in tow for Deptford and Woolwich. The Betsy—A fatal accident occurred on board this vessel, delivering coals into the Ocean Coal Depot for the steam navy. Wm. Goulder, a seaman belonging to the Pleiades, on Thursday night last, after leaving the forecastle of the Betsy, where he had been sitting for some time with some old shipmates, on crossing the deck, the fore hatches being left open, fell into the hold, by which he fractured his skull and broke several of his ribs. The unfortunate fellow was brought on shore and taken to the Ship Inn. Mr. T. L. Ridley, a surgeon, was in immediate attendance, and on the following morn ing it was found necessary to trepan the skull, when several pieces were taken off that bad penetrated the 'Drain. He was insensible and never rallied, but died yesterday morning. Mr. T. Hill, coroner, held an in quest on the body. The jury, on the suggestion of the foreman, Mr. W. E .I.gcombe, ship agent, &c., urged on the masters of the Pleiades and Betsy the necessity of taking more care in future that the hatches are put on before dark ; had that been done, in all human prJba • bility, a fellow - creature's life might have been saved. Deceased has this day been burred in Trinity-church yard, Bank's-town. The masters and crews of all the merchant vessels discharging here followed and carried the deceased to his grave, all of them declaring it would be a warning to them for life never under any circum stances to leave hatchways open after dark. It is right 'to add, positive proof was given that deceased and all the other seamen were perfectly sober. The colours are all lowered to half-mast on board the merchant vessels. Goulder was a fine young man, and much respected. He was a native of Scarborough, in Yorkshire. WOOLWICH, OCT. 1. APPOINTMENTS. Lie utenants—John F. C. Mackenzie (1846), additional In the Ajax, 53, !screw steam-;hip, for service in the WizGard, brig, tender to th e flag-ship at Cork, to the St. eorge, 120, guard-ship of ordinary at Devonpott ; John Cartwright (1846), to the Ajax ; Henry B.

Arthur Cochrane (1851), officers who studied sterm, aided by Mr. Roughton, of the s t eam department at the factory at Woolwich Dockyard, and th e f i rst examined uzyder the new arrangement of printed questions and Written answers, which have to be sent to Portsmouth, y i ,assed their recent examination on the 15th and 16th of September, satisfactorily, and yesterday received their certificates accordingly. Captain Qeorge Edwin Patcy (1'551), who was so severely hr falling of a block from one of the masts when in command of the Amphion at Port ;mouth, now quite well, and has been appointed to stud y steam , at the factory at Woolwich dockyard. Captain B. THE SUN, LONDON', MONDAY EVENING, OCT:OBI - 4'ft 6, 1_6044, Heathcote (1852), having only joined recently for study, was not examined in the middle of last month, and con sequently continues to study steam here, preparatory to being examined on the next occasion that the officers come forward for that purpose. Commander Henry G. Harston (1345) has also been appointed to study steam at the factory at Woolwich dockyard. The Cyclops steam frigate, in charge of Mr. Pope, Assistant-Master-Attendant at Sheerness, left Woolwich to-day for Devonport. The ,Rhadamanthus steam storeship, Master-Com mander Belam, will leave on Monday morning f o r Chat ham,. with the boilers, (tc., of the Euryalus, 50, screw steam frigate, at that port. The Pigmy steam-vessel, having been thoroughly re fitted in her machinery and received new boilers, went down the river to-day to ascertain their efficiency, and is to be taken round to Portsmouth for the purpose of being employed as a tug vessel at that port. Contracts have been called for by the Admiralty for six pairs of new marine steam engines, two of them to be of the same nominal power as the Agamemnon's, of 600-horse power QUARTERLY NAVAL OBITUARY.

We have, on different occasions, remarked on what we conceived to be the imperfection, when taken as a whole, of the present system for rescuing shipwrecked persons from drowning; that whilst, in some localities, most creditable exertions have been made, and much success has attended those exertions, yet that at no place perhaps has as much been done as was possible : and that at many little or nothing has been attempted— where the storm seems to have been regarded as a mon ster who, as a matter of course, will prey on those that have the temerity to venture upon his domain ; or as the deity of the watery wilds who needs to be propitiated by this periodical sacrifice from amongst his votaries. The consequence has been, that a waste of human life has taken place, which, even in a single year, presents a melancholy picture to the view ; but which, if con templated in the aggregate, over a lengthened period, will be found to have been the work of a power far more devastating in its effects than the cannon and sword of the enemy. We do not mean to imply that any human efforts could have subdued this power, or altogether have neu tralised its effects, hut that much more might be done under the working of a well-organised and comprehen sive system, which should insure -Ist. The adoption of all practicable precautionary measures which might lead to the prevention of ship wreck. 2d. The employment of every available means on board merchant vessels for saving the lives of their crews, and effecting communication with the shore, in the event of their getting stranded. 3d. The establishment all along our coasts of the most perfect system which can be devised, for affording them timely succour from the land. The first of these heads, indeed, embraces a wide field for cultivation, in which much has been alre a dy d one , and well done, but where more yet remains to be accom plished. It includes all that can facilitate the safe navi gation of dur coasts ; the exact surveying of every part of them, and the publication of charts, on which shall be clearly pourtrayed and defined every danger which lies in the mariner's way ; the establishment of the most per fect system of lighthouses, buoys, beacons, and sea marks ; the creation of harbours of refuge, and the im provement of natural harbours, and the mouths of navi gable rivers ' • the enactment of a rigid system of surveil lance, which should prevent the sailing out of port of vessels that are leaky or unseaworthy, half-manned, or ill found, and which should require sufficient proof of the qualifications of masters and superior officers as sea men, navigators, and commanders of others ; the im provement of the mode of calculating the tonnage of ves sels, and of the scale according to which the levying of tolls, harbour and dock dues, &c., are calculated, which systems have hitherto acted as premiums on the con struction of bad sailing ships, and have by that means been prolific sources of shipwreck, since a fast-sailing clipper vessel can readily beat off a lee shore, when one of the more prevailing form of colliers, coasters, and other merchant craft, would infallibly drift bodily on to it. On the second head, but little or nothing has been yet done. It has possibly been considered that the owner of a ship, if not actuated by motives of humanity, or a sense of duty to those in his employ, would at least be prompted by self-interest, to provide as far as possible for their safety, as well as for that of his vessel. The Legislature of the country has accordingly hitherto scarcely interfered in the matter ; and, strange to say, public opinion has not been directed to it. The ship owner has therefore had, as his sole motive power, his own sense of the moral responsibility resting upon him to urge him to do unto others, and those his own ser vants, as if, similarly circumstanced, he would have wished them to do unto him. The manner in which this provision for the safety of ships' crews might be effected may be shortly defined as follows : Ist. Every merchant vessel should carry one or more boats, so far fitted as life-boats that they should have a sufficient amount of extra buoyancy to support the whole of the ship's crew in the event of getting filled by a sea, and of a form calculated for landing through a surf. Such a boat can readily be thus fitted without materially interfering with her stowage-room, or disqualifying her for all the ordinary uses to which ships' boats are put. 2d. She should be provided with an efficient life-buoy —and one of the best descriptions of circular cork ones can be procured for the small sum of 12s. 6d. 3d. She should likewise be provided with as many good cork life-belts as there are persons in her crew, which should be kept secured to the bulwark, or other convenient situation on deck, where they could be readily got at in the event of the vessel getting ashore, or her crew having from any other cause to take to their boat. A belt of this kind, having sufficient buoyancy to make it impossible for a person having it on to sink, and yet not interfering with the free use of his limbs, may be also had for a small sum, and which might often be the sal vation of a man's life if upset from his boat, in attempt ing to land through a surf. Lastly. She should also be furnished with some means for conveying a line to the shore, in the event of her . - getting stranded sufficiently near to make it practi cable. The rocket and mortar apparatus are unsuitable for the purpose, as they would probably seldom be ready for immediate use ; and as a vessel on taking the ground is in general immediately subjected to such violent con cussions by the waves striking her, that it would inmost cases be unmanageable. The flying a kite from the ves sel to the above has been suggested by Col. Dansey, R.A. and it might sometimes be available, although there would probably often be difficulty in getting it,to ascend in the first instance clear of the rigging and of the eddy winds under the vessel's lee. The most feasible plan would at first sight appear to be to float a buoy. with a line attached to it, to the shore ; but it is gener ally found that the drawback of the retiring waves, to gether with the weight of the line, prevents a buoy from quite reaching the beach. We think it probable, how ever, that a very light buoy, which would expose a large surface to the wind, and have but little hold on the water, and having a small manilla, or other floating line at tached to it, would, if the wind were sufficiently on shore, be in general carried so close to it that it might be grap pled by those on the beach : it is, at all events, a matter worth making further experiments upon. A buoy of this character, formed of waterproof cloth, which folds up and self-inflates on being distended, was some years since invented by the Rev. James Williams, rector of Llanfairynghornwy, in Anglesea— an old friend and zealous coadjutor of this institution, and we think it would be admirably adapted for the purpose. By the general use on board merchant vessels of such means as those we have recommended, we believe that numberless valuable lives might be saved. The adop tion of them, however, cannot be secured by any power of less magnitude and authority than the Legislature of the country. The voices of societies of individuals have no weight whatever in such cases ; we may raise them as loudly as we will, it is of no avail; ships and boats will continue to be badly built and ill-suited for the work they have to perform ; they will still be ill-fitted ill-manned, ill-found as hitherto, unless self-interest, or some other power more cogent than humanity and love to their fellow-creatures shall urge those possessing this kind of property to see the necessity for a change. Asa striking instance of the heartlessness which exists on this subject, we have been informed by respectable ioit-buiiders in this metropolis that on more than one occasion, when old worn-out boats have been brought to them to be repaired, and they have stated they were not worth repairing. they have been asked seriously, in reply, whether they could not make them pass muster as hfe-boats ' by concealing the decayed and worn-o u t parts behind the air-cases and other fittings, the vessels they belonged to being included in the category of those that are compelled to carry boats, which, at all events, should have the appearance of life-boats. Although, however, we cannot interfere on these points, and our opinion may have no weight with those who have the power to do so, yet, on our third head, viz., the establishment of measures for affording succour to shipwrecked persons from the land, something may, and we trust more and more will be done by a charit able society like the National Shipwreck Institution, founded for that express purliose. We may not be able to do all we could wish, but we niay do a great deal ; we may stir up and assist and rally round us local efforts ; we may by degrees establish an increased number and !mproved description of life-boats ; we may continue, as we have done, to reward and encourage those who risk their lives to save others ; we may endeavour to awaken general interest on the subject. But our capability of usefulness will be proportional to the assistance afforded us by the public. To that public we must, therefore, again and again appeal, and we have every confidence that wo shall not do so in vain.—The Life Boat. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—OCT. 1. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulbourn.) IN RE F. LANGAN. The bankrupt, described as a wine merchant, of Ox ford-street, applied for his certificate. He owed to un secured creditors 7071. ; assets about ss. in the pound, after paying the expenses. It appeared, from the report of the official assignee, that the bankrupt had come to the court on his own petition on the 13th April last. He had been bankrupt in 1837, paying then a dividend of 2s. sd. Both before and after that date lie had car ried on the business of wine merchant at Paris, and had returned to this country after the revolution of 1848. He had subsequently held a situation as town traveller to a house in the city, at a salary of 3001. a year ; he had then commenced business on his own account with a small capital of about 2501. Mr. Pennell stated, in answer to the court, that the assets had realised 2301., a►id that of the creditors returned at 7071., 4581. had been struck off as having no clai►n. Mr. Crouch, for the assignees, offered no opposition. At the time of the bankruptcy nearly the whole of the property was in the hands of certain creditors ; but, with the assistance of the bankrupt the whole had been recovered by the assignees. His conduct had been most praiseworthy, and the assignee hoped that he would receive a certificate of the first class. Mr. Lucas, on behalf of the bankrupt, discussed the circumstances of the trading, and contended that the case was wholly one of unavoidable misfortune. His Honour said there was much in the conduct of the bankrupt to commend. He was not a mere adven turer, but was honourably distinguished from that class, having commenced business with a capital of 2501. Having regard to his conduct both before and since the bankruptcy, the court would give him an immediate certificate of the second class. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—William Reardon, a young man with a bad reputation among the police, was charged with assaulting a Frenchman, named Mark Philipe. The defendant was first brought before Mr. Henry on Friday morning. The complainant a well-dressed man, then stated that he was walking along the street the previous evening, when the defendant accosted him with unpleasant familiarity, pulled him on the shoulder, and said, "Give us twopence, old fellow, for a drop of drink." Com plainant indignantly repelled his acquaintance, upon which the defendant detained him by the collar, leav ing him no alternative but to call a policeman and give the intruder into custody. When at the police station, the defendant had the infamy to say that the complainant had been himself in custody for an inde cent offence. Defendant—And so he has been. I was in the City Prison myself with him. I had ten days, and he was in for two months ; and such was his character that he was not permitted to associate with us. Complainant (raising his hands and looking into the skylight of the court)—Good God ! the base, the wicked accusation : Mr. Henry—You need not feel hurt, because, if the charge is false, I will take care that it recoils against self. He is a very bad character. Did the prisoner men tion this at the station. Inspector Dodd—He did, your worship, but I don't believe a word of it. I certainly would not believe him upon his oath. The prisoner —What I say is the fact. Let one of your constables go down and see into it. That is the point, - Mr. Henry—Oh, there will be due inquiry, as he in sists on repeating the charge. The complainant having his own character in view, will, I dare say, be glad enough to go with one of the officers to see the city gaoler, who can disprove the imputation, if it is false. Complainant—lt is false—it is wicked—it is mons trous. The case was then adjourned till Saturday, to admit cf the proposed inquiry. The court, however, had hardly been cleared of the public when the complainant returned, and wished to speak privately with the magistrate. He said he was very sorry—very much ashamed---but, in the presence of the public, he did not like to admit that he had ever been in prison. Unhappily, however, it was too true. He was in prison two years ago, having been committed for two months by the Lord Mayor. Mr. Henry —When the prisoner was present you stated, on your oath, that the accusation was false. Now he is absent, you admit the fact. This is scarcely creditable to you. However, the case is remanded. The defendane was again placed at the bar on Satur day, and Inspector Dodd reported that due inquiry had been made ; but the gaoler could not identify the com plainant as a former prisoner. Availing himself of this lucky accident, the French. man now wished to back out of his former admission, and to reassert that the accusation was false, which he did with a look of injured innocence. Mr. Henry said be could not deal with the charge upon the evidence of a person who had prevaricated so flagrantly, and accordingly dismissed the case. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Thos. John Williams was brought up for final examination, charged with having stolen jewellery valued at 2501., the property of Sir Robert Pigott, Bart. Sir Robert Pigott said—l live at No. 43, Albemarle street. The two rings are my property, and worth about 701. On Friday, the 19th of August last, the rings were missed by Lady Pigott from her bed-room. I have no knowledge whatever of the prisoner, and may state that, previous to this last robbery, an emerald or nament of considerable value was missed from my house. Elizabeth Summers, lady's maid to Lady Pigott, said —On the 19th of August, I missed two rings from a a table in her ladyship's dressing-room. I saw them safe at 11 o'clock, and missed them about two o'clock of the same day. I do not know the prisoner. William Henry Madden, a dealer in enamels, of No. 419, Oxford street, said—On the 19th or 20th of August, the prisoner came to my shop and asked the price of some enamels. I told him the price, and he then asked me if I bought such things as diamond rings. I said I did. The prisoner then said a lady who had a law suit, had commissioned him to dispose of a pearl necklace . ; that she did not want the matter to be made known, and that he would bring some rings to look at if I thought I would'buy them. Previous to this con versation, prisoner had been t o my s h o p an d b oug ht a looking-glass. The prisoner went away, and in about a quarter of an hour returned, and showed me the two rings now produced. He told me they cost 1801. I said I did not think their value was so great, and that I should not like to buy them until I had first taken the advice of persons who knew the value of such property. The prisoner agreed to this, and he went to a pawn broker's in Drury-lane, who said he would not lend 201. on the rings. Ultimately I agreed to give the prisoner 221. for them. Police Sergeant Lockerby, 23 E, said, on the 24th of August he heard of the robbery, and having ascertained the rings were in the possession of Mr. Madden, he traced out the prisoner, and took him into custody at his lodgings, No. 10, Malton-place, Euston-square. When told that he was apprehended for stealing jewel lery belonging to Sir Richard Pigott, he replied he knew nothing whatever of the charge. He denied sell ing any rings to Mr. Madden, of Oxford-street. The prisoner admitted that he knew Mr. Madden, but as serted that Mr. Madden would not say that he bought rings of him. Mr. Madden was sent for, and he at once pointed cut the prisoner as the person from whom he had bought the two diamond rings. Witness men tioned to the prisoner that an emerald ornament, worth 1301., had also been stolen. The pris oner , h owever , denid all knowledge of the loss. The prisoner sent for witness when in . the House of Detention, and told him he had bought the rings of a person who was at present out of town, but who would be called to give evidence of that fact when he was tried. The prisoner reserved his defence, and was fully corn , mitted. CLERKENWELL.—Mr. John Sampson, a master basket maker, residing in St. John-street, Clerkenwell, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, on a charge of as saulting a journeyman of the same trade. Mr. Wontuer, solicitor for the prosecution, said his client was connected with a number of men who had joined in a " strike," or combination for an increase of wages. The complainant, with several men in his trade, anxious to provide for their wives and families, sought employment, and while at labour unloading a waggon in front of the premises of the accused, the latter became excited from some unexplained cause, and after some feiv angry words, knocked down the prosecutor. The above facts having been proved, Mr. Tyrwhitt said that the assault was unprovoked, and the defendant would have to pay 405., or suffer one month's imprison ment. MARYLEBONE.—A youth, name William Phillips, was charged, on his own confession. with having stolen a watch and about 21. in cash from his uncle, Mr. Baker, residing in the Edgware-road. Police constable 374 D stated, that on the previous night, while on duty in the Edgware-road, he was ac costed by the prisoner, who voluntarily gave himself into custody, stating that he had robbed his uncle of the aforesaid property. lie (witness) thereupon took him in charge, and conveyed him to the station-house. Frederick Baker (prisoner's uncle) said that his brother had been robbed of a watch, a ring, and a considerable sum of money. The prisoner had been on a visit to witness's brother, from whom the property alluded to had been stolen. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, admitted his guilt, arid said that knowing he had committed a crime, he could not rest quietly until he had given himself up into the hands of justice. The witness Baker said that the prisoner's father was a highly respectable man, an inspector of police, in Surrey. He knew not where the prisoner was, and felt exceedingly anxious respecting him. The prisoner was remanded. WORSHIP-STREET, —John - I?idtarcl . Clark was placed at the bar, upon a charge of burgiariously en tering the dwelling of Mr. Wincott, of Pool-terrace, City-road. On Friday evening Mrs. Wincott was opening the street door, when the prisoner jumped out of the parlour window, and ran off, but was pursued with a cry of "Stop thief!" and captured. Upon examination of the parlour it was found to have been ransacked, and the looking-glass ' various dresses, and oth er ar ti c l es , h eape d up, ready to be carried away. The prisoner exclaimed, " Oh, pray, don't take me !" and so worked upon the feelings of the prosecutrix that she said, " Well, I for give the man, as he has not taken anything away." Toomey, 235 G-., had previously observed the prisoner and two others loitering about the place. The prisoner was committed to Newgate for trial. John Davey, a rather elderly man, who was formerly groom to the present Earl of Winchilsea, was charged with feloniously marrying Sarah Gawthorn, of Shadwell, his wife Mary being then and still living. Michael Coles, parish clerk of Great Weldon, in Northamptonshire, proved that he had known the pri soner 33 years, and was present at his marriage with Mary Richardson, in January, 1823, and he saw the female alive last week. It was now proved, however, that he some years ago married the second wife at Spitalfields, and then described himself as a bachelor. The prisoner alleged that he thought hi s fi rs t w if e was dead, as, while at Rading, he received a letter informing him that such was the fact, and he therefore thought himself at liberty to marry again. He was committed for trial. LAMBETH.—Mr. George Brown, a cowkeeper, and the owner of a dust-yard in South-street, Walworth common, appeared before Mr. Elli o tt t o answer a sum mons under the Removal of Nuisances Act, for per mitting a nuisance on his premises, stated to be most injurious to the health and comfort of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. It was proved by the Inspector of Nuisances for St. Mary, Newington, that the defendant not only kept swine, but that he permitted, in spite of the remon strance of the inhabitants, an accumulation of filth, composed of night soil and offal, in his dust-yard, the stench from which was so great, that many persons had suffered severe nausea and illness. Witnesses were produced to prove this, and that, at a time when cholera had made its appearance in the parish, the nuisance was becoming really alarming. The defendant was convicted in a penalty of 20s. and costs, the magistrate informed him that unless he at once and entirely removed the nuisance, the full penalty would be enforced. Dr. Bushell, a member of the Sanitary Board of St. Mary, Lambeth, applied for a further summons against Mr. George Frederick Carden, the barrister, and brother of Alderman Carden, for continuing the nui sance in his yard, in the vicinity of Lambeth-walk. A previous summons had been issued against Mr. Carden, for Thursday, but he had failed to attend. A medical certificate having been put in, stating the dangerous character of the nuisance to the public health, a second summons was issued against Mr. Carden, and the officer was directed to serve it on him as soon as possible. - George Quennell, a chairmaker, who has been in cus tody since Monday week, on a charge of kicking his wife in so brutal a manner that she was obliged to be taken to St. Thomas's Hospital, where her life was for some time in danger was finally examined, and fully committed for trial at the Old Bailey. Richard Halkhain ° a hawker of san d, w h o h a d b een examined on th e day before on a charge of cutting and wounding Mrs. Smerdon, was finally examined. The prisoner had been remanded for the attendance of Dr. Flower to give his evidence as to whether a wound over the left eye had been caused by the fist merely, or some sharp instrument. Mr. Flower attended, and said it was possible the wound might have been inflicted with the nail of the thumb protruded through the fingers when the blow was given, and upon this evidence the magistrate dealt with the case summarily, and inflicted a penalty of 51., or one month, the prisoner having already been in prison some weeks. - John Handley, a ruffianly-looking fellow, was con victed in a penalty of 31., or one month. for an assault upon the person of Jane Kelly. SOUTHWARK.—WiIIiam Searles, a labourer, of Eynesford, was brought before Mr. Combo, charged with causing the death of Elizabeth M'Donald, an un fortunate female, by throwing her from his van, the wheels of which passed over her, on the morning of the 27th ultimo, in the Old Kent-road. Inspector Snead, of the M division, informed his wor ship that, on Tuesday morning last, a female was thrown from a fruit-grower's van, near the canal-bridge, in the Old Kent-road, and picked up by the police, in whose custody she died. On the information of a lad, named Tuck (who has since been in custody for felony), a carman in the employ of Mr. Booker, a fruit-grower, at Halstead, was appre hended on the same day, when the lad distinctly swore that he was the party who threw the deceased from his van, and ran over her. He was remanded until after the inquest, which sat on Thursday, and was adjourned until Tuesday next. Since then witness had received information that satis fied him Mr. Booker's carman was not the man ; and, on Friday, he proceeded to Halstead, and found the pri soner at work in Welted Farm. He (the inspector) took the prisoner into custody, and brought him to London. Mr. Combe observed that the boy Tuck must have been a great liar, as, on the last examination, he swore positively to the other man. Police-constable 113 P stated that, on Tuesday morn ing, he was on duty in the Old Kent-road, and, about two o'clock, he saw the prisoner in a van, loaded with fruit, and, when at the bridge, he stopped and took up the deceased. Witness heard the prisoner say to her, "I'll give you a ride ;" and it appeared to be in answer to her request. Witness advised the prisoner to go on, and have nothing to do with her. The prisoner said it was quite right what the con stable had stated. He let the female get up, promisinc , to give her a lift to the b oroug h, w h en s h e f e ll off thet' van, and he fell after her. Ile called a coffee boy and another lad to assist him to lift her out of the mud, but they would not. Inspector Stead informed his worship that be should be able to produce further evidence against the prisoner in the course of a day or two, which would be very im portant. Mr. Combo said under the circumstances he should remand the prisoner until Tuesday, on which day the in quest would be resumed. - At a late hour, six persons, carrying on business as bone boilers, horse slaughterers, and gut manufacturers, in Green-street, Friar-street, Southwark, a very densely populated neighbourho,ad between the Southwark-bridge road and the Blackfriars-road, appeared to anwer sum monses obtained by the parish authorities for causing nuisances to exist on their premises injurious to the health of the inhabitants. The first case taken was against Mr. Richard Trotmas, bone boiler, 30, Green-street. He was charged with having upon his premises a large quantity of bones in a boiled and unboiled state, and a quantity of animal and other matter, so as to be a nuisance to, and injurious to the health of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. Mr. William Endean, one of the parish officers and inspectors of nuisances for Southwark, produced a copy of a notice signed by two inhabitant householders, which be served on defendant on the 15th of September. He had since visited his premises two or three times. The last time was on Saturday morning. He then found a large accumulation of bones in the yard. The dwelling house was in front, and there were some hundreds of tons of bones heaped up in the yard ; some under cover and some exposed. There was a heap as high as the Police-court, which emitted a very offensive smell. The place was surrounded by small tenements, crowded with poor people, and among whom disease was spreading. Witness went there along with Mr. Waken, the parish surgeon, and examined the place, and he certified that the smells proceeding from the defendant's premises were injurious to the health of the inhabitants. _ _ Mr. Clarkson, in a very lengthy speech, contended that his worship had no jurisdiction in the matter, and he must dismiss this and all. other summonses, inasmuch as the act of Parliament gave him no right to interfere. After an argument ou both sides, Mr. Combe said he had no power to interfere, as nothing had been proven to show that there was any extraordinary excess. What defendant had had on his premises was merely what he required in trade; therefore he must dismiss the sum mons. A similar summons N% - as next heard against Mr. Curtis, gut manufacturer, in Green-street, which was also dis missed. HAMMERSMITH., Joseph. Salter, who was de scribed as an off-bearer in a brick-field, was brought up on a warrant charged with having absconded from his employment before a con tract, which he had entered into with a man named William Sellins, the agent to Mr. Smith, a brickmaker, to serve him during the brickmak ing season, had been completed. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Martin, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution, and stated that the priisoner had previously been sum moned for a similar offence, but, upon his promising not to leave his work again, was forgiven, and the com plaint was dismissed. He continued at his work for some days, but, on Wednesday fortnight, he again ab sented, and had not &mce been to the place. Such con duct was a great loss,. not only to the employer, but to the gang, who were - unable to go on with their work until another man had been found to fill his place. Several men during the season had been punished for ab senting themselves fror n their work, yet it did not appear to niPke any impress ion upon them. Such conduct seriously affected the building trade, as the brickmakers were unable to make so many bricks, their gangs being frequently stopped b: , men absconding. The prisoner, in de fence, said he was unable to go to work in consequenco of there being no " pug" boy in the gang. Mr. Paynter said there did not appear to be a shadow of an excuse for ti i• 3 prisoner ; he had not only injured his employer, but, 'he had actually been the cause of his fellow workmen I .osing the opportunity of makingloo,ooo bricks, for which . they would have had upwards of 201. Such conduct cc raid not be allowed, and he should en deavour to put a stop to it. He committed the prisoner for the full term— namely, three months with hard labour. The prisoner w ; completely taken by surprise at the decision, and left t/ le dock crying. lintrax.—W q • have again had a dull market in our piece hall, and but few worsted goods of any sort have changed hands. 1 'he yarn trade is by no means brisk, and prices are mu( h the same. Wool is quiet, with the turn in favour of t,Z te buyer. ROYAL I'ANOPTICON OF SCIENCE AND PT. On Friday the third annual general meeting of the corporation took place at the lecture-room of the insti tution, Leicester-square, Mr. Noel Hoare in the chair. A. report was read, which stated that the sanguine hopes expressed in the last report as to the opening of the building had been again frustrated by the same cause as was then referred to, viz., the want of funds. At the date of the last report 4,517 shares had been subscribed for, and 14,5001. advanced by the council by way of loan ; and from the state of the money market at that time there seemed every probability of the remaining shares being sp e edily taken up. Since th en th e loans had been for the most part paid off, and a considerable number more shares subscribed for. They were now being taken up by the public at a very steady rate without being advertised, so that there could be little doubt as to the completion of the share list before long ; but even this advance was quite insufficient for the purpose of rapidly carrying on the works, and the council had again come forward, with three exceptions, and bad furnished the means of obtaining the requisite funds for the completion of the building and its appurtenances. They believed, therefore, that no obstacle now existed to the speedy and complete re-opening of the institution to the public. Although quite a novelty in point of style, the opinion of the press, and of the architects and other scientific men who had visited it, had been una nimous in pronouncing the building to be quite unique—a fact which in itself would be found to be a great attraction to the public. The directors had secured the cooperation of many influential men in the sections of engineering, the fine arts, music, &c. They bad received a large collection of works of art from various eminent persons, amounting in value to some thousand pounds, which had already been de posited in the institution. With respect to the prepa ration for opening the institution, the council might state that the building in all its essential points was complete, and in a perfectly satisfactory state as far as stability was concerned. The report 'concluded by stating that, from the preparations now in progress, there was every reason to believe that the public would be pleased with the result of their endeavours. The balance sheet showed that the receipts amounted to 60,8341. ss. 2d., and the expenditure to 60,1121. 16s. 10d., leaving a balance of 721/. Bs. 4d. The report was adopted, and a resolution was passed authorising the directors to raise a sum of money not exceeding 25,000/. on mortgage of lands tenements and hereditaments of the corporation. Various other resolutions of a routine character were passed, and the business terminated. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. NOTICE TO MARINERS.

Loss OF THE AMERICAN SHIP SOUTHERNER.—We re gret to learn that, by a letter received in town from Captain Russell, of the American ship Southerner, that fine vessel foundered at sea on the 12th inst. She sailed from Glasgow on the 17th August, for New York, and all went well with them till about the end of the month, when she encountered a succession of severe gales, with a heavy cross sea. On the sth September, when in lat. 46.24, long. 40.15, a leak was discovered under the after breast hook, which increasing, it was judged necessary to carry the vessel to the nearest port. She was before the wind, and every ex ertion made to overcome the leak. On the 10th the wind increased to a perfect hurricane, carrying away her mainyard, and stripping her of most of her sails. In this disabled state, labouring and spraining in a heavy sea, the leak rapidly increased, and at half-past ten in the evening, when there were eight feet of water in the hold, and the ship fast settling down by the bows, the master and crew were compelled hastily to be take themselves to one of the boats, with a few biscuits, and only such clothing as was upon them. They were tossed about at the mercy of the waves, and scarcely able to keep their frail boat afloat till the 13th, when most providentially they were observed and taken on board by the Marshfield, Captain Torrv, bound for London. They were in a most exhausted condition, with their limbs swollen from being constantly in the water ; but by the great attention they experienced from their from preservers they all gradually recovered. We understand the vessel and cargo were insured at New York, where she was owned.— :North British Mail.
