Robert Balham, parish-clerk of the District Church of St. Paul's, Ball's-pond, Islington. deposed that he was present at a marriage between William John Flood, and Elizabeth Stocker Riseley, on the 14th February, 1839, and he produced a cortificate g to that effect. Charles Tueron identified the prisoner as the party so described. Mr. Prendergast then said that Miss Riseley was in at tendance, but it was not his intention to ask her any ques tions; his. Learned Friend might, however, do so :t he thought proper. Mr. Phillips said that he should certainly wish to put a few questions to her. Elizabeth Stocker Riseley was accordingly called, and entered the witness-box. She is a very pretty young female, and had a Line baby in her arms. The moment the prisoner saw h er h e uttered a'pierekg shriek, and fell senseless i n the dock. The most prompt ahsiganee was rendered him by Mr. Cope, au/ a surgeon was sent for; but it was several minutes before he recovered, and he was then again placed at the bar.

LAST NIGHT.S GAZETTE TO THE PRINCIPALS OF SCHOOLS, ORNA MENTAL PENMEN, WRITING-MASTERS, WRIT ING-ENGRAVERS, AND LITHOGRAPHERS. PATON'S FLOWERSof PENMANSHIP, (consisting of fourteen pages folio) exhibiting the principal Beauties of Penmanship, with a Miniature Portrait of the Author (in the centre of the Title-page), exquisitely engraved by Thomson, are nearly completed, and will be pub lished by Subscription. In announcing this Work, the Author thinks it proper to state that, for several years past, he has been solicited by many eminent Penmen and Engravers in this Country, as well as on the Continent, to publish a New Work on Ornamental Pen manship : he has therefore complied with their wishes, in the hope that the improvement, and more general practice of the Art may thereby be promoted. Something might be said in reference to the merits of a forthcoming work ; but from the simple fact of Mr. Paton's name, in connexion with the Art of Penmanship, having been before the Public for a very long period, he considers any farther statement unnecessary, than that he has bestowed his best ability upon it—that he has carefully studied the compo sition of every page—that the whole of the Designs have been finished in a manner equal, if not superior, to the important Ornamental Writings, executed by him, during the lasttwenty years, for the City of London, and the Royal A6demy—and that nearly all the Plates have been engraved by Mr. lieckett in a way that must render that Artist's name famous in the annals of Engraving. When the Author, in 1826, published a Tribute to the Memory of the lamented Princess Charlotte, one thousand copies were subscribed for within the short space of six weeks—a circumstance unparalleled in the history of Penman ship ; the List of Subscribers (obtain?d by no other influence than a mere inspection of the original Manuscript), exhibited the names of the King, almost all the members of the Royal Family, Prince Leopold, all the Ambassadors then in London, the Lord Mayor, and the most distinguished Members of the Honourable Corporation of London ; Sir' Thomas Lawrence, who subscribed twice; many Members of the Royal Academy, and other eminent Artists in Painting, Sculpture, En graving, &c.

Groat-Market, Newcastle, Nov. 18, 1839. E L'OSIEit'S PNEUMATIC ENGINE FOR RAISING WATER. The Inventors of this Engine for raising water, brtlic new principle of creating a vacuum by steam through pipes, having succeeded in procuring Letters Patent for England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the British Colonies, France, Belgium, Ger many, Holland, Spain, North America, and each of the States of the Germanic Conferation, are disposed to carry the same into practice in this country upon terms eminently beneficial to the Engineers or Capitalists who may be disposed to unite with them. it is not necessary to explain by theory advantages which have been tested by experience. At Arras, in France, this En gine has been tried last August, by order of the French Govern ment, whose object it was to repair the fortifications. The Go vernment Engineers calculated that- the water ought, by the ordinary process, and at a certain horse povver, to be carri e d awa y in two months and a half, MonsieurDe VOsieesEngine carried the water away in seventeen days only, with exactly the same horse power. For the particulars of which may. be Seen i n "Le Constitationnel," Le Journal des Debats," "Le Na tional," and the Arras papers. The Drawings, Specifications, and, in the course of a few days, one of the Engines, may be seen, and further information obtained, by addressing a. letter to. Monsieur Le Noraan de L'Osier, or W. S. Nortaouse, Esq., Parliamentary Agent, at St. J a mes's Park. No. 2, Story's Gate, ALEXANDRIA, Dec. 16 . —The fleet, that is, the Turkish crews, seem more satisfied, and have be come more reconciled to their Arab fare and irregular they that, wlong beill again at pay, than was at first exp ected. Thei r numbers have, however, been greatly d iminished b y s ickness—they are now reduced from 15,000 T en to about 1 6,000 ; but before th e sickly season ; commences, n the cold season, which h as j ust com menced, appears to have arrested the diseases b y which t hey have been so greatlythinned Constantinople, and whe n once there, no Capitan Pacha will ever persuade them to desert, at any rate ad i-t is hoped not to the Egyptian Paella. The Pacha has just given a firman to Mr. Waghorn for two steamers to ply between Atfi and Cairo ; these steamers are to be built in England. Messrs. Hill and Raven have, however, already nearly 'finished a small wooden steam-boat, built by an English engineer of the name of Marsh. Colonel Campbell has obtained for Messrs. Hill and Raven, a firman from the Paella to allow them to ply their boat on the Nile ; the boat will be ready to make its first voyage on New Year' fl Tnus, in a short time, we shall have three private steamers on the Nile, a great convenience for travellers, especially f or t h ose on the i r way to India, who will a lways be enabled to arrive at Suez as quickly as the mail, and, indeed, earlier, if the present system of conveyance be continued, for the English mail is always packed in such large boxes, that camels, instead of dromedaries, are required for its transport.

(MONDAY EVENING') TIMES.—By the advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 428 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. ner ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.61, and the exchange at Ham burg on London at short being 13. 4, it follows that gold is 0.26 per cent. dearer at Hamburg than in London, • The premium on gold at Paris is 7i per milk, which. at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10d. the ounce fur standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 34, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.30, it follows that gold is 0.16 per cent. dearer at Paris than in London. CHRONICLE..--The Consol Market in the early part of the day exhibited much firmness ; the quota tions, at one period, were a shade higher than yester day, but the market left off flat. Money continues easy, and the large amount of dividends in course of pay ment to-morrow must make it still less in demand for some weeks to come. •- C BANKRUPTCY OURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner EvAss.) IMMENSE FAILURE-IN RE STEELE, ALVES, AND HAR- BISON. These bankrtiPts, who are underwriters at Lloyd's, appeared before the Court on Tuesday upon their final examination. Their personal debts and liabilities are near 70,0001., and they arc also further liable (as un derwriters) for policies of insurance, &c., to the immense amount of nearly 500,0001. Application was made on behalf of several creditors that they might be allowed to prove against the bank rupts' separate estates, as they had frequently signed separately.' There was also a question raised as to whether Mr. Harrison was a partner or an agent. It appeared that the bankruptcy had been caused by se vere losses. • The. Learned Commis§roNEß observed upon the case being a very important one, and said, under all the cir cumstances, he should allow the creditors to prove against the separate estates of the bankrupts whose ac counts appeared to be satisfactory. This is the largest fidlure which has taken Waco at Lloyd's for many years. The bankrupts were allowed to pass their final examination. . ATTORNEYS COSTS-SIDP V.. ARMSTRONG.

CENTRAL CLILMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. William John Flood, aged 21, was indicted for feloni, ouslir intermarrying with Elizabeth Stocker Riseley, his wife, Sarah Wood, being then alive. Mr. Prendergast appeared for the prosecution, Mr. Phillips defended the prisoner. Jane Elin Wood deposed that she was sister to Sarah Wood, and she was present at her marriage with the prisoner at Shoreditch Church, on the 2:11 October, 1838. They were acquainted with each other for two years be fore the marriage took place. They did not live together after the marriage; but the' prisoner frequently visited his wife, 4rl he assigned a?► a reason for their not living to gether, that he was shortly to he set up business. They never slept in witness's house, Cross-examined b.y Mr. Plitnurs —The prisoner used to am nay sister in a private room. On the day iof ttie marriage hp went a say after dinner for 2f!veval hours, an he never on any occasioa slept at our house, I kpex ibing of the scOond wire; until Miss Riroley came cur bouce,.and inquired if tlig prisoner v”.s a married rrnri ? and - I told hrr he was married to my sister S. - 41.A, and she came down stairs and satisfied ?diss Riseley that the pr:. Mr. PIItLLIPS then addressed the jury, and observed that this was one of the most extraordinary cases of higaMy•that had ever come to his knowledge. The prosecution has in stituted by the first wife, who had, in realqv, received no legal injurywh_tever,b,c Iseslie wasasmuch thewifeofthe prisoner as ever, and ttie second wife who wns the really n.js,red party, made no complaint. It was clear that the first marri.ge had taken place untier the most extraor dinary circumstances, and he put it to the Jury whether the prisdner might not have contracted the second mar riage, ignorant that he was offending- against the law. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, coupled with a recommendation to mercy. The Court then sea eneed the prisoner to six months' imprisonment'and hard labour. When the case wa's concluded, Sarah Wood, the first wife, got into the bOx aad declared that she had novev told Miss Ri.,eley that tha prisoner vras et liberty to marry whoever he pleased. Charles. Anot, the Frenchman, who was convicted at the last S:s%io:), after a very protracted trial, of robbing a woman of a gold watch, lint whose judgment was respite(' in order that inquiries might be made respecting aim, was placed at the bar. The lir.cor,tiEtt said that since .the last Session it bed been ascertained that the p isener was respectably con rimed in .Prance, but his brother-in-law had written a letter, n in which ho stiTTd that he had committed several . in torzeesthat country. Upon this b,itig explained to the prisoner, be exclaimrd with urea vehemence that it eras a conspiracy of his family to deprive hint of his fortune. He declared that he was innocent of the odeuco imputed to him. The RECORDER said the case bad been clearly proved, and he had only to pronounce the sentence of the law, which was that he should be transported beyond the seas for the term of,scven )eat - s. The RECORDER subsequently said that it appeared the prisoner had formerly been possessed of considerable pm perty, but he lqtd taken to gambling and had dissipat,d the whole of it. had afterwards become a bankrupt, and he then committed forgeries, which compelled him to quit France, and he was at present amenable to the tar s of that country. The Court adjourned at five o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. B O IV- STREET.
