G. Larkin. Esq., reported upon, as after mentioned, to contain 21,600 acres in extent, and to possess extensive gold-bearing qu ar t z veins and auriferous deposits, and gold washings, and to be well adapted for agricultural purposes. The property is described as being situated on the west bank of the Feather River, which is a tributary of the Great Sacramento fiver, and to be at a discdistance of about 195 miles a t al w l ater comnamvultni cation from San Francisco. The Sacramento is times ga hie for steamers ; and it is stated that, during a greater portiontof The Year, vesels can navigae the Feather River up to the proery. -Lae estate is s freehold, and the vendors guarante e an indisputable title, free from incumbrances. The mineral importance and value of the property will be best judged of by the following ex tract from the report of the Su: reyor, Nicholas Gray, Esq , who, in September, 1852, surveyed it as an officer under orders from the United States Government. fter giving a detailed description of each lot, be sums up his report as follows : "I class the whole estate, containing 21,616 70-100 acres, as mi neral land. Gold is found from the bottom of the smallest gully to the summit of the highest mountain on the land, in the soil as in the quartz rock. Some indications of iron are to be observed at the south-west corner of the Table Mountain. Quicksilver has been denois f c overed in the same vicinity, an d I have been informed by m veracity that a few diamonds have also been dug from the slope of the same mountain. The whole front of the estate on Feather ltiver is about 24 miles, taking its meanders, and I believe the gold hearing quartz reek is to be found all along the bank of that renc streeam, a nd extending back generally two or three miles. By refe to to the map you have all the principal points laid down of quartz rock, rich diggings, &c." Further important details will bo fou nd in the accompanying document and map of the property; and ot her p articulars of an W resting nature respecting this extensive territory Slay be inspected at the office of the Company. Mr. Gray states in his Reports that specimens o f the quartz veins W ere taken by him from the estate. These Mr. Larkin forwarded to London for analysts, and the result of that analysis, as given in the 1 !PPendix, shows that with careful managemen t a large return for the capital invested may be reasonably expected from the Company's !pining operations. The working capital of 100,0001., leaving the remainder for pur chase money, will, it is anticipated, be amply sufficient to conduct all the operations of the Company; and it is intended to ex p end thesame chiefly in erecting extensive central mills for grind in g the auriferous quartz on the properly, and for reducing and extracting the gold from its matrices, whether sands, earths, or quartz, in the most complete, perfect, and economical manner; and also in en _enraging farmers to settle upon the pr o p e r t y. whose rents wou ld be Way with its value and location , and who would in no waY interfere with the extraction of its mineral riches. The venders have agreed to sell the property at a price one-half of !flitch is included in the present capital, and the remaining half Is to be paid when the capital is increased to £500,000, and when Shareholders to the amount of 20 p er cent. have been paid to the as before mentioned. The entire price to be thus paid in moities is probably not one-hundredth part of the mere value of the gold to be extracted from the lands, independently of their fitness and eligibility for cultivation ; and the company have i:cen met with the greatest fairness by the vendors, who do not seek 0 be paid for the estate,:except a deposit of 5 per cent on one moiety of the purchase money, until an English surveyor, nominated by the Board of Supervision, shall have examined the estate, reported upon and declared it to be in accordance with the prospectus. The Price per acre on the portion of purchase-money payable out of the Present capital is less than 101. The Company may find it desirable that a town shall be erected near the junction of the Feather River with the north fork of that river ; and as great facilities and advantages will be offered to resi dents, the particular lands to be set apart for this city, looking at the well known rapidity with which American cities are created and Peopled, may probably, in a few years, realise prices sufficient to re store to the Shareholders the entire purchase money. An organised system of granting leases of mines on the estate is also in contemplation, which will yield large returns to this Com- PanY ; and the Board of Supervision desire to call the attention of ?tiler individuals and companies contemplating the purchase of farm mg lands, alluvial diggings, or quartz mining locations, to their vast tracts of territory. The Board will be prepared to make sales and trant leases of portions of the Feather Rigor Estate. The Board of supervision believe that they indulge in no exagge ration when expressing their conviction that the estate fairly put to work to its full capabilities will, for many years, annually yield as d ividend—what may reasonably be expected from all successfal gold ~...° °lo Panies—az least 20 per cent. on the entire capital besides .""nuses. The investment in the shar es must, therefore, be equal to that offered by any other company, either in Australia or California. The hoard of Supervision will have the power of carrying out the Contract with the vendors, and of settling the statutes of the corn tanY, under which all its affairs will be regulated. The deposit will 21 . per share, thus paying up the shares intuit at the time of allot ment, and all deposits applicable to the p urchase money received oln shares sold will beheld in like manner as the shares wouldhave „'"n if not sold—viz., until the surveyor's rep ort has been received, ' a t i et Possession given, and a good title exhibited, and a proper con veYance executed. 4 ,_APPlications for shares to be addressed to the Secretary, and to r_e Brokers if the Company; and no application can receive atten 'wa unless references be given to Bankers or Stockbrokers. es APPENDLY.

Vickers, Publisher, Holywell•street, London. AT a numerous and highly respectable MEET ING of MERCHANTS and TRADERS of the CITY or LuNDON, herd at the London Tavern, on Monday, the 14th March, 1853, _ . JOAN MASTERMAN, Esq., M.P., in the Chair, It was proposed by J. Horsley Palmer, Esq ; secondad by Samuel Gregson, Esq , M.P., That in the opinion of this Meeting tho present duty of 2s. 2 d. per lb. on tea, or from 200 to 250 per cent., is a most oppressive tax upon an article of universal consumption, which enhances the price so considerably as seriously to limit the demand, and that su h is directly opposed to the established commercial policy of this coun try. That the effect of this duty upon our commercial relations with China is prejudicial in the highest degree, inasmuch as the trade being principally one of barter, our exports of British manu factures are dependent upon the extent of our imports from that country—it may, therefore, be fairly expected that our trade would be materially increased, were there a considerable augmentation of the returns at present received from China. That a large reduction of duty is important, inasmuch as tea is a favourite article of consump tion with the great mass of the people, whose comforts and social habits would be promoted by placing within their reach an accept able and wholesome beverage at a reasonable price. And further, that as a Parliamentary Committee, in July, 1847, after a length ened inquiry, recommended to the House of Commons a considerable reductions of the duty on tea it is highly expedient at this time to urge the Chancellor of the Exchequer to re-consider the Report of the Committee, with a view of submitting to the house a proposal for carrying their recommendation into effect. It was proposed by W. Crawford, Esq. ; seconded by Hugh M. Matheson, Esq., That inasmuch as protracted discussions upon alterations of duty detrimentally affect the interests of all parties both here and abroad, promote undue speculation, and tend to diminish the amount of duties received for the revenue, it is highly desirable that any reduc gon Airregarcis the tea Awes ii1404-teLe4frent.*th.the least possible delay. It was proposed by G. T. Brain, Esq. ; seconded by Lewis Huth, Esq. That as regards the extent of re duction, this meeting is fully Im pressed with the importance of its be in g of such a magnitude as would secure to the people a difference in price sufficiently important to en sure such increased consumption as would promptly restore any LOANS OR kNTED.

It was proposed by Richard Twining, Esq., jun.; seconded by John Entwistle, Esq., That the following Memorial be signed, for presentation to the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, conveying to him the views of this Meeting on the subject, and that the same be handed to him by John AI ast erman, Esq. M.P., and Samuel Gregson, Esq., M.P. It was proposed by J. Ingram Travers, Esq. ; seconded by Jas. Lay ton, Esq„ That the cordial thanks of this Meeting be given to John Master man, Esq., M.P., for his conduct in the chair this day, and for his ready attention at all times to the wishes of his constituents. To THE RIGHT HON. WILLIAM EWART GLADSTONE, t,1.P., CHAN CELLOR OF HER MAJESTY'S EXCHEQUER, &c. The Memorial of the undersigned Merchants and Traders of the City of London. Showeth,—That your Memorialists are deeply interested in the trade with China, or engaged in the sale of tea. That your Memorialists cons ider the present duty charged upon tea to be exorbitant a..d oppressive, and most inconsistent with the avowed commercial policy of the nation, of securing to the mass of the people all necessary articles of consumption at the cheapest pos sible rate. • That this excessive duty interferes most seriously with the con sumption of tea. That the natural development of the China trade (in most in stances one of barter) is greatly impeded by the imposition of a high duty upon ono of the principal articles of import, as the extent of British manufactures to be introduced into that country must be regulated by the returns of China producis which we are enabled to consume That your Memorialists consider that could returns be taken from China in sufficient quantity, the exportation of British manufactures would be increased to an enormous extent, China being not only the most populous country in the world, but its inhabitants are probably the most dress-loving people and the most prone to the indulgence of cheap luxuries of any nation with which we are acquainted. That your Memorialists are convinced that the reduction of the duty on tea will ensure a largely increased consumption of that article. That the loss of revenue occasioned by a reduction of duty would be speedily repaired by Men increased consumption, provided the reduction were sufficiently important to cause a sensible diminutiou in the price, and one which would be felt by the mass of the people, whose purchases, though made in very small quantities, are enor mous in the aggregate. That the duties imposed by the Chinese tariff on British goods varies from 5 to 7 per cent., while the duty on tea, their staple export to Great Britain varies from 200 to 250 per cent.—a fact which should induce the Government of this country to take the earliest opportunity of lessening the excessive duty now charged thereon. That independently of commercial views, the extended consump tion of tea in this country may be deemed a moral and social cm es tion of great importance. Tea yields a wholesome and agreeable beverage to ever., class of the population, one that is increasingly desired as a subs itute for intoxicating liquors, and is peculiarly valued by the humbler classes, whose comforts would be increased, and whose social habits would be improved were the cost of so important . an article of consumption materially reduced. That in reference to navigation, a large reduction is important. Tea is a light and bulky article, requiring considerable tonnage in 1 proportion to its value; the continued emigration to Australia will direct a large amount of sh , pping to the southern hemisphere, a part of which, proceeding to China, would find profitable employment, were a large additional quantity of tea required in this country. Thst your Memorialists would further mention that during the past sixyears, while the shipments of tea from China to Great Bri tain have only increased from 57,600,001 lbs. to 65,000,0001bs„ the ex ports of tea to the United States. where no duty is imposed, haVe in creased from 18,000,0001135. to 34.300,000 lbs., —a striking illustration of the expansive power of the tea trade if relieved from burthensome and oppressive duties. That in our colonies and dependenCes where tea is free or lightly taxed, the consumption is, in proportion to the population, in some cases two, in others three to one more than in this country, a fact which farther strongly illustrates the capability oi greatly increased consumption. In conclusion, your Memorialists will only refer to the elaborate investigation into the working of the China trade by a Committee of the House of Commons in 1847. The Report of that Committee, which entered most luny and ably into all questions arising out of this important br inch of our commerce, contain - A the tot owing re commendation to the house: — "Your Committee think themselves warresded in recommending to the house a considerable reduction in the duty on tea at the earliest period which in Ls wisdom it may Lee fit, as most desirable in itself, with a view t to comforts and the social habits of the people, as involving bu a temporary lobs to the Revenue, and as essential to the extens'o i or our trade with China, nay. even to its maintenance at the poin. which it has already reached." Uneer these circumstances, your Memorialists pray for a liberal and prompt revision of the Tea Duties. London, 14th March, 1853. Baring Brothers and Co. W. E. Moffatt Matheson and Co. J. J.

The Clothing to be supplied either made up, or in Materials for making up.

No Tender will be received after One o'clock on the day of treaty, nor any noticed, unless the party attends, or an agent for him, duly authorised in writing.

AFFAIRS OF BUSINESS.—In every affair of trade, buying or selling, equality and prices, are the condi- tions of satisfactory contract. The superior quality of all goods offered to public Inspec ion, or made to order by E. MOSES• and SON, is so well known, and has been so long tried, that very little need be said on that subject; but the unity of low prices, and the very best qualities, is a system of business which E. MOSES and SON were the first to introduce, and have been the most successful in carrying out. This they have made applicable to every branch of their gigantic business, and have adhered to it during all changes in the seasons or the markets. They have never hesitated to pay the best prices for the most artistic and accomplished workmanship— but they will by no means inflict higher charges on any of their pa trons. The LADIES are furnishrd with HABITS the most graceful in style, and from the finest and most fashionable materials, or with HOSIERY, the neatest, most novel, and useful. GENTLE MEN are provided with the best materials and workmanship in every description of ATTIRE which their professions, engagements, or the season may render necessary. All goods or orders are charged much lower prices at E. MOSES and SON'S, than at any other house in the world. GOLD FROM AUSTRAL I A.—The last arrival amount ed to upwards of one and a half millions sterling —a large por tion of which was for business transactions in Australia, by E. MOSES and SON, their CLOTHING having sold for a vast amount of " Golden Treasure," and the satisfaction it is giving, warrants in ve-tments to any extent. ..,11 EMIGRANTS, MERCHANTS, or SHIP PERS, may avail themselves of the most SALEABLE, because the BEST and most SUITABLE GOODS, at E, MOSES and SON'S, the price s being considerably lower than at any other house—the same advantages are offered to Emigrants of every Class, their Outfits or any portion of them, being charged wholesale prices A depart ment kept for Outfitting, and full List of Outfits and shipsailing in formation may be had on application, or post free to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious re +sons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANT OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 34,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

London, &c., &c. 4AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregu'arities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various terms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self - indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con-equences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department ef practice, he has been amply rem arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empiries, who, with their pirated publications. assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have Inflicted seri ous injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

"Sir,—ln consideration of the great benefit I have derived from taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards of nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine. I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion, but u friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we know of nothing to equal it. "I am, Sir, yours respectfully, THOMAS PROVINQE. " To Mr. T. Front, 229, Strand, London.

It is a subject of much regret that the public health, as measured by the rate of mortality, is still in a very unfavourable state. Since the third week of Febrhary, when it feel to 29.8 deg., the mean weekly temperature has continued to rise, having been successively 38.8 deg., 35.3 deg., and last week 44.6 deg. In the same periods the weekly mortality of London shows a constant in crease, the deaths having been 1,344, 1,427, and in the week that ended last Saturday 1,436. The deaths in the present return occurred at the following ages-600 under 14 years, 467 at 15 years' and under 60, 369 at 60 and upwards. In the ten weeks corresponding to last week of the years 1843-52 the average number of deaths was 1,078, which, if raised in proportion to increase of population, becomes 1,186. Therefore the excess of last week's mor tality above the estimated amount is 250. Last week the births of 892 boys and 924 girls, in all 1,816 children were registered in London. In the eight corresponding weeks of the years 1845-52 the average number was 1,473. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29,926 inches. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday it was above 30 inches. The mean daily temperature was above the average of the same days in 38 years on every day of the week ; it was highest on Sunday and Monday, when it was 8 and 7 deg. above the average. The mean tem perature of the week was 44 deg. 6min., or 4 deg 4 min. above the average. The wind blew from the south-west generally, but was calm during the greater part of the week. The mean dew-point temperature was 38 deg. 7 min. SUPERB NOVELTIES in PAPIER MACHE, at MECHI'S, 4, Leadenhall-street, London.

The jury recommended her to mercy on account of her youth. Sentence was postponed. John Dinning, aged 18, was indicted for maliciously cutting and wounding William Moon, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. H. T. Cole prosecuted, and Mr. Cox defended the prisoner. In this case it appeared that the prosecutor, a farmer at Ufculm, in this county, on the evening of the Ist of February returned home from market, and hearing that the prisoner had ill-used his son, a boy of fourteen, took up a small stick and went out to the prisoner, who was standing just outside the house. An altercation took place between them, when Moon struck the prisoner several times with the stick. The prisoner said, "If you hit me again you —, I will rip your guts up." Moon turned round and struck at the prisoner again with the stick, when the prisoner immediately struck him in the belly with some sharp instrument, the effect of which was to pierce the abdomen through, so that the intestines of the poor man came through and hung down for more than a foot. He was put to bed and attended by a surgeon, but his life was for some time in immi nent danger. The prisoner was informed of what had happened, when he said, "It was a bad job—he wished it had been worse, and that he wished he had ripped him right up." ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-YORK, MARCH 14. " CROWN COURT.. :Robert Drew, aged 28, and William Andrew; aged 28, were indicted for having, .together with one George Kemp and others, on the 25th of Novemb er l as t, i n the night time, at Wormesley, in the West Riding, felo niously shot at John Mitchell, George Hepwortb, George Sawyer, and others, gamekeepers and watchers in the service of Lord Hawkes, with intent to murder or to do them some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Hall, Mr. Dearsley, and Mr. Johnstone appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Overend defended the pri soners. It appeared that Lord .Hawkes' preserves are situate at Womersley, two miles from Doncaster. About mid night on the 24th November, the keepers were in his lordship's preserves, when they heard some guns firing in the woods, upon which John Mitchell, who was head gamekeeper, an assistant named Hepworth, and five others, proceeded towards the place where they heard the firing, in order to capture the poachers, and on ar riving at a wood called Bird Spring Wood, they came up with five persons, armed with two double-barrelled guns, two single-barrelled-guns, and an air gun. On coming towards the poachers the 'latter faced about, and ad vanced towards the keepers in a line, with their guns presented ; upon which the keeper Mit c hell, called out to them, telling them to. act like men, and not to use their guns ; but the poachers continued to advance, and to throw stones at the • keepers, whii then made some show of attempting to take them, but it then became evident that the poachers would resist to the last ex tremity ; upon which Mitchell, the head keeper, who had been told that his men held back, cried out to the poachers, " Now we can't take you, go sway like men," but they kept on crying out, " Shoot, shoot," upon which Mitchell said, "Don't shoot, we have got guns as well as you ; if you shoot, we shall shoot." The poachers then took stones from their pockets, which they threw at Mitchell, who protected his face with his gun stock. The keepers then retreated, and in going through a gate leading into a field into .which they had gone Mitchell turned his head round and received a shot from a gun which was fired at about 15 yards from him, and. which took effect upon his neck and face, and shot one of his eyes out. He cried out, "I am killed," and staggered, and fell insensible. Hepworth, the assistant keeper, then received a shot on his right arm and back, which brought his arm in which he carried his gun to his side, and as he was putting his gnn into his left arm, it went off. The two shots were fired by the prisoner Drew. Hepworth's gun had scarcely gone off when he received another shot in his hand, which was fired by the prisoner Andrews. The keepers were positive as to Drew's identity, and spoke distinctly to seeing him fire the two shots from behind a tree. With regard to the prisoner Andrews, George Kemp, who was one of th e p oac h ers, was called as an approver, to give evidence for the Crown under the offer of a reward of 1001. and a free pardon. He stated that he and the two prisoners and two other men, not in cus tody, left Doncaster on the night in question, in two parties, and joined each other when near Lord Hawkes' preserves. That on their way they passed a miller in his cart, who spoke to them ; and saw that one of them, which was Andrews, was dressed in a white fustain shooting coat. They then shot about 29 pheasants in the wood ; soon after which the keepers came up, when I Drew threw him se lf b e hi n d t h e stump of a tree. They cried out to the keeper, "It's no use we're not going to be taken ;" and Drew immediately fired, and attempted to fire again, but the gun missed fire. He then put on another cap, and on Hepworth turning round he fired a second shot at him. Hepworth then fired, and Andrews fired the next shot. They then returned to Doncaster, and left their game with a ferryman named Harrop, and their jackets and guns at another place. This was confirmed by the ferryman, and by the find ing of the jackets and the guns, which were proved to belong to the prisoners. The prosecutor (Mitchell) on presenting himself in the witness-box, appeared t o b e a stout, hale man, in the prime of life, but he was perfectly blind, and was led into the box, one of his eyes having been shot out. Hop worth, the under-keeper, was also badly wounded, 70 shots having been extracted from his body. Mr. Overend addressed the jury for the prisoner, con tending that there was no sufficient corroboration of the evidence of the . approver so as to fix the two.prisoners. The evidence of the approver could not be relied on, as he had been influenced by the reward of 1001. and the offer of a free pardon. The keepers' evidence as to the identity of the prisoners ought not to be relied on, con sidering the state of excitement which they must natu rally have laboured under in their attempt to take the poachers. At the conclusion of his address the learned counsel called the Mayor of Doncaster, in whose service Drew had been a railway contractor, and several other witnesses, who gave both prisoners an excellent cha racter. • His Lordship, in summing up, pointed the attention of the jury to the charge they had consider, and to the evidence adduced in support of each part of the charge. If they thought the identity of Drew was established, and that he had aimed his gun at the head and face of Mitchell, they would consider what he intended by that act. As to Andrews, he was not the first to fire, and had not fired until there had been a shot in return, and until, it was presumed, his blood was up, where there might be less of deliberate intent in his act than in that of the prisoner Drew. The jury, after an absence of two hours, found Drew guilty of shooting with intent to murder, and Andrews of shooting with intent to do some grievous bodily harm. but strongly recommended them to mercy on the ground of their previous good character. His Lordship, in passinc , sentence, said th a t, b u t f or the recom men d a ti on o f the jury, he should have felt it his duty to have left Drew for execution ; he should, how ever, order sentence of death to be recorded, and should recommend her Majesty to commute that sentence into transportation for life ; the sentence upon Andrews was that he be transported for fifteen years.

SOUTH WARK.—Threeof the trustees of the "An cient Britons Benefit Society" were summoned at the instance of David Lloyd, one of the members, for unlaw fully excluding him, in the time of sickness,, from the said society: • The complainant stated that he had been a member of the "Ancient Britons Benefit Society" for a period of nearly 20 years ; that a few weeks iwo owing to serious indisposition, he made application to the steward,. aid had the usual allowance granted to sick members. His allowance, however, was suddenly stopped on the 17th ult., although he was not convalescent, Lnd he was ulti mately expelled, and the reason assigned - fir it was, That he infringed a clause in their rules, by doing some work in his house. He added that he disputed their autho rity to act as they had done, and accordingly summoned them to show cause why they had excluded a member who had been paying money into the society for so many years. William Lloyd was then sworn, and he stated that he was a member of the same society, and that on the 17th ult. he called on the complainant, and found him in * the act of sawing some wood, intended for firewood, a quan tity of which he had for sale in shop. He (witness) told complainant that he should report him to the trus tees, in• order that his sick money should be stopped, and the reply was that he had not infringed the rules of the society. The complainant stated that he was wholly incapable of doing work at the time mentioned, and that he was only showing his wife the way to cut up some wood to light their own fire, when the last witness entered the house and saw him do it. The witness said that there were several blocks of wood by the side of the complainant, ready to be cut up, and that a considerable quantity was in the same place, and also in the shop, tied up in bundles as firewood. He added that it was absurd to suppose that the complainant was only showing his wife how to cut the wood, for, in fact, he was at work himself, and the rules specified that if any sick member was discovered "at work, or em ployed in, any pecuniary way," he forfeited all benefit from the society. Mr. Combe said, that under these circumstances he could make no order on the society, and therefore dis missed the summons. HAMMERSMITH.—A tall fellow, named John Baker, was charged with burglarionsfy entering the dwelling-house of Miss Frances Maria Kelly, late of the Soho Theatre, at No. 30, Moscow-road, Paddington. It appeared from the evidence of Miss Kelly and several other witnesses that on Tuesday night the pre mises were secured in the usual manner ky a young lady named Mary Grevill, the prosecutrix's companion, and they retired to rest about 12 o'clock. They both slept in one bed, and about half-past two o'clock that morning Miss Kelly was suddenly awoke by the barking of her 'dog, which was in the habit of sleeping upon the landing outside her bedroom door. She also heard a scuffling noise, as if some person had dropped some things upon the floor near her door. She immediately awoke her companion, who got out of bed, and lighted a candle from the night lamp upon the toilet. After hastily dressing herself, Miss Grevill proceeded to a small dressing-room adjoining their apartment, and was alarmed by seeing the figure of a man, resembling, the prisoner, standing in the dressing-room. She exclaimed " A man, a man, " and made an involuntary movement with her arm, which caused the candle to fall out of the stick, and the light was then extinguished. She ran back to Miss Kelly's bedroom and fastened the door. They each opened a window and screamed loudly for assistance. Pain, No. 235 C, who was on duty in the Moscow road, heard the cries and hastened to the rear of Miss Kelly's house. He got upon a wall and saw the pri soner come from the direction of the back door of Miss Kelly's house and climb over a high wall adjoining a field leading to Westbourne-grove. The prisoner ran across the field, and he was next seen by pohce-constable No. 271 C, who heard Pain say " Look out." The second officer then apprehended the prisoner. 'The house was found to be in great confusion, and the pri soner had burned a number of papers of a documentary character, and only valuable to the owner, for no other reason, as it appeared, than to obtain a light during his operations.

Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., the Commander-in-Chief, went out to Spithead this after noon, with his fla g flying, on board the Fanny yacht, Second Master Scarlett in charge, and inspected the Sidon, 22, paddle ste.sm-frigate, Captain Goldsmith. The Sidon, the Odin, 16, paddle-frigate, Captain FrUcis Scott, and the Leopard, 12, paddle-frigate, Captain George Giffard, got up steam this afternoon, at 3 10, and stood out to the westward under all sail. The Sidon took the lead with Sir Thomas Coehrane's flag flying at the fore. They appear to have gone on a short cruise only, as the Port Admiral's yacht is awaiting his return at Spithead. The Duke of Wellington, screw three-decker, 131, Captain H. B. Martin, C. 8., has received her new figurehead, which is an admirable likeness of the late Duke of Wellington, by Mr. Hellyer, of this dockyard. The Illustrious, 72, having been partly re-coppered, as a floating battery for Spithead, was undocked this afternoon. The ship's company of the Agamemnon, 91, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, C. 8., are . not yet convalescent, several fresh cases having broken out this week. The Fire Queen, steam-tender to Victory, Master Commander W. F. Paul, having been docked this morn ing, an opportunity was afforded of getting under and examining her bottom. Hay's composition had been applied upwards of a twelvemonth, the Fire Queen hav ing been afloat the whole time, and we found on in spection that nothing save a little slimy dirt was visible, and which, in one hour, was scrubbed off by birch brooms, leaving her bottom perfectly fair and as clean as though it had been black leaded. Her commanding officer, Mr. Paul, has made application to have the inside bottom of the vessel coated with this excellent preventive to rust from the iron work. THE SCREW FLEET. We understand that in the course of the next three months we shall have a very strong addition to our fleet screw-line-of-battle ships. The St. Jean d'Acre, 101, will be launched at Devonport on the 23d instant. The James Watt, 91, will be launched at Pembroke in the course of next month. The Royal George, 120, will be completed at Chatham by the 30th of next month. The Royal Albert, 131, at Woolwich - and the Hannibal, 91, at Deptford, will be launched about next June. The armament of the Sanspariel, 81, at Devonport, is to be reduced to 70 guns. It was originally intended after she had been advanced on 'the stocks as an 84-gun ship that she should be converted into a 60-gun frigate, and yet she was subsequently an 81-gun screw-ship. We must not regard her as a regularly designed screw ship, but as an experiment in conversion. She would have done better, perhaps, if Captain Dacres's health had been good ; but this is the fault of the Admiralty in not giving an experimental ship a commander equal in every respect to the working out of the qualities of the experiment. The Illustrious, old 72-gun ship, in course of adap tation, like the Edinburgh, to receive screw-machinery, is to have an armament of 39 broadside guns and one pivot, so that she will be enabled to fight 20 guns on each side. Captain Chads, of the Excellent, has the arrangement of her armament. Her pre sent fittings are not to be disturbed, and by o the o y plan proposed for her conversion it will be a more nomical job than the adaptation of th e Edi n b urgh, con verted at less cost than the Ajax, the bill for was considerably less than the Hogue'converted which ship was made a screw-ship by M essrs. igrana.

He stated, however, that women in agony of labour often clutched violently at the child to relieve tnemselves. At the same time, he did not think the injuries to the child he examined could have bee; produced in that manner. Mr. Carter contended that the child bad met the in juries which were found on its head either by the pri soner's efforts to deliver herself unassisted, or the fall of the child during parturition. Mr. Justice Crompton having summed up, the jury acquitted the prisoner.
