PAYING OFF HER MAJESTY'S SHIP ! HERALD AT SYDNEY. (From the Sydney Morning Herald of July 1.) Yesterday Captain Denham was engaged in the discharge of a duty novel to a British naval corn minder on a foreign station—that of "paying off" the major portion of the crew of his vessel. The Herald with a crew of about 120 men, including marines, has been some five years on this portion of the Eest India Admiralty station, during which she has been for the most part engaged in cruising among the islands of the Pacific—a numerous group —with frequent visits to the waters and harbours of Australia. Her presence in Sydney Cove has been at all times greeted with a welcome which cern° -from the hearts of the citizens generally, but more especially by the alarmists of either sex, though as to the younger portion of the gentler it might be said that a more genuine feeling than any emanating from a consciousness of protection was the touch spring of their welcome to the brave offi cers and crew that walk her deck. Fortunately e tr foes B3llona smiled propitious, and during tiro tune the greatest fears were entertained—the con tinuance of the war in the East—no occasion arose --we will not say to put to the proof, but to call for any display of national gallantry ou the part of our defenders ; had there been, ne one doubts that the famous motto of Nelson so prominently dis played on deck—" England expects every man to d his duty," would have been most triumphantly asserted. Capt. Denham, during the five years of his cruise, which was intended by the home govern ment to be of an almost wholly scientific character, has unquestionably proved himself, as a comman der and a scholar, eminently qualified for the dis charge of the important duties entrusted to him. In carrying out these duties, professional and scientific, the officers and men have afforded im po. tent and hearty co-operation. The result of Captain Denham's surveys has added considerably to our knowledge of the islands of the South Pa cific, the manners and customs of the inhabitants, the natural productions, animal, vegetable, and floral, besides very important discoveries as to the navigation of the surrounding seas, iu determining the existence of coral reefs, and how they are to be avoided, on which subject charts have been made and fcrevarded to the _Admiralty. Extracts from Capt. -Denham's reports, of great importance to the shipping and commercial community of these colo nies, have from time to time appeared in this journal. Another good result has followed the visit of the Herald to these islands, seen from the in creased favour with which the rude and previously unfriendly natives have, through the kind and con ciliatory, yet resolute and justly-exacting conduct of Captain Denham, been led to look upon Euro peans ; and in this way, too, the labours of the missionaries have been greatly promoted. The ser vices of Capt. Deollam and his officers need no detailed notice at our hands ; they are duly este. 11 ed at the proper quarter—the fountain of honour and reward to men engaged in their country's service. Yesterday the term of service for the .greeter portion of all hands having expired, they were paid off by the commander, and, not withsanding a tacit or understood licence was given for the indulgence of a little hilarity on the occasion, the usual quiet and strict discipline of a man of war prevailed en board during the clay. It must, indeed, have been very gratifying to Capt. Denham to witness the readiness with which a large number of the " paid off"—two-thirds of the entire crew—volunteered to rejoin the vessel, and place themselves again under command. The volunteers have received a fortnight's leave ashore ; but no doubt, long before that time has expired, many of them will not have a shot in the locker, and they will be glad to return to their old qu irters on the deck of the Herald. Many of them took respectful leave of their officers—frank and hearty shakes of the hand were exchanged between them. In the evening about 90 of the paid off sat down to a plentifully-suppliel dinner at Mr. Pearsou's, the White Swan Inn, where they enjoyed themselves with a professional abandon and zest quite refresh ing to witness. The substantial viands which garnished the table were done ample justice to, and to the rattling of knives and forks were kept up a running accompa nimentsof sentiments, forecastle squibs, banterings, de*, indulged in with the greatest good humour on alt hands. There were plenty of " lend a hand here, lads," ' stow away your dunnage," "clear your scum), re," l a - s the grog," dec., and, with the excel tion of passing the grog, the orders were promptly obeyed. After a more than usually protracted on slaught all hands turned down for a smoke. The room. was then cleated, and in due time the com pany returned greatly reduced in number, and to the harmony of a cornet- a-piston and a flute they kept merry time dancing "Jack's the Lad," and various other sailors' hornpipes. The evening passed off quietly and harmoniously, and, no doubt, all hands were pleased with the first dety neh ore. When it is stated that during the period of her sojourn in the waters of the southern hemisphere from 8,0001. to 9,0001. has been annually spent in this port for the refitting and refreshing of the yes- Pt 1, it will be seen that the trading portion of our community a'so have had reason to rejoice in the coming of the Herald;• the more so as this vessel has not snared in th e colonial allowance voted to the !liieure and crews of other war vessels stationed in Itu' , Poet or occasionally visiting its waters. Thu Inksrman, store transport, arrived at Wool wich (.1-1 Friday, bringing 130 torn of stores from Leith Fort, "and sailed again for Leith Fort on Sa turday.

Ray mond commanding the depot battalion at Pembroke directing the march of the depots of the 51st Light Infantry and 94th Regiment, consisting of 250 men, this day from Pembroke to Chatham, in order that they may arrive at Chatham Garrison to-moreow for the purpose of joining the third battalion under the command of Lieut.-Colonel C. Elmhirst. Five troops and the bead-quarters of the sth Dragoon Guards have arrived at York barracks. Many of the men wear the Crimean mod al, and up wards of 30 of them have volunteered for India. Corn. J. 0. Bathurst has been appointed inspect , ing commander of the Coastguard, in the room of Corn. Moorman, promoted. The medical staff appointments in the three bat talions, which are to be formed at Chatham on the Ist of next month, arrived there yesterday. Dr. A. Maclean is appointed to the Ist battalion, Dr. H. Huish to the 2d battalion, and Dr. E. W. T. Mau deville to the 3d battalion. S!aff Assistant Surgeon Hyde proceeds from Chatham to-day for the purpose of joining the 18th Royal Irish at the Curragh. The whole of the troops attached to the provi sional battalion at Chatham were assembled on the inner lines, near Fort Amherst, on Saturday after• noon, in heavy marching order, for the purpose of being inspected by Col. H. Jervis, the commandant. The troops executed their various manoeuvres with great precision, and their appearance was very satis factory to the inspecting field officer. At the termi flat' on of the inspection the depots were formed into square for hearing read the sentence of a court naattial on a private of the 19th Regiment, who had been tried and found guilty of having absented himself from his regiment at Aldershot at the time it was under orders to embark for India. The pri soner was sentenced to a long term of imprison ment in Fort Clarence, after which he will be sent out to his regiment in India. THE 9TH AND 39TH REGIMENTS, —The intelligence from Canada is perfectly bewildering. Two British regiments of the highest reputation are reported to be in a state of disaffection, almost amounting to mutiny. There have been desertions from the 9th, and it has been found necessary to confine the 39th to tneir barracks, where they have, says the Montreal papers, " committed great excesses." And all this because the two corps have got the route to India I Is it possible that they are too comfortable where they are, or that intrigue has been at work upon the frontier to disturb the minds of the men ? Wt never can believe that any disinclination to go to India is really at the bottom of their insubordina tion for there are no two corps in the service whose traditions alone would so entirely warrant the sup position that they would be glad to renew upon the same field the deeds of high emprise which formerly gave them distinction. What says Macaulay, writing of that terrible encounter at Plassey, where Clive laid the foundation of our empire in India, although opposed with 3,000 men to 60,000 of the army of the villanous nabob ? "Conspicuous in the ranks of Clive's little army were the men of the 39th Regi ment, which still bears upon its colours, amongst many other honouralde,additions, won under Wel lington in Spain and Gascony, the name of Plassey, and the proud motto Primus in Indis." Will the regiment not now be glad to aid in maintaining by the bayonet what it formerly won by the bayonet ? As for the 9th, which concluded on the heights of Istaliff a career of glory begun on the heig . .ta of Ro rice, it was so beloved in India that the sepoys when their hearts were loyal, would have followed it into any danger, The "Lumber Linth" as they called the gora log (Europeans) was idolised by them. Such a corps is especially called upon to chaetise the men who have manifested such deplorable forgetfulness of their military obligations. Let us hope that the disaffection which has been reported is of a tempo rary character, arising from causes quite irrespec tive of the "route for India," and that the excel lent address of that very gallant soldier, Sir Wm. Eyie; will have had its proper influence in calming excitement and restoring obedience. The men had not yet read all the dreadful details of sepoy cruelty with which the press has lately teemed. When these are before them, and indignation has sunk °ply into their hearts, we are persuaded that we shall find bath 9th and 39th as eager as any other corps in the service to be led to the scenes of their former triumph.--tirnited Service Gazette. TUB 'LAME liairnNEß.A.l. Sin JOHN DOVETON, K.C.B. —Sir John Doveton, whose death has happened at Vichy, in the south of France, was one of the oldest officers in the East India Company's service. He was a son of the late Sir William Webber Doveton, Knt. (who was for upwards of 30 years in the civil service of the Hon. East India Company), by the daughter of the late Anthony Beale, Esq., and cousin of the late Sir J. Doveton, G.C.B. late was born at St. Helena, in 1783, and left Portsmouth for Madras, at the aga of 15, as first cadet of cavalry, in 1798, and was soon placed on the staff as aide-de camp to the late Marquis Wellesley, during his Governor-Generalship of India. He saw much active service in the cam paigns of 1799, 1803, and 1817, and at one time commanded a division of the Nizana's army. After having spent the best part of his life in India, he returned home on furlough in 1830, and in 1833 was nominated to the general staff of the Madras army, and appointed to command the centre division. He attained the rank of general in 1854, and for some years past had held the colonelcy of the sth Regiment of Madras Light Cavalry. For his Indian services he was made a K.C.B. in 1838. He merried in 1808 Mademoiselle Victoire de la Fon ta'ne, of Compeigne, France, who, we believe, survives him. DEATH OF GEN. SIR G. H. F. BERKELEY, K.C.B. —We have to announce the death of Gen. Sir G. Berkeley, K.C.8., who died at Richmond on Fri day last, in his 73d year. The deceased was the eldest son of the late Admiral Sir G. C. Berkeley, G C. 13., sometime Lord Admiral of Portugal, by Emily Charlotte, daughter of the late Lord George Lennox •, and was consequently first cousin to the present Earl of Berkeley, and to Earl Fitzhardinge. He was born in 1785, and entered the army in 1802 as cornet in the Royal Horse Guards Blue ; he served in Italy and Egypt during the whble of the campaign under Lieut.-General M. Frazer. lie subsequently joined the British forces in the Peninsula, under Lord Wellington, and served as assistant adjutant general. Among other engage ments he was present at Busaco, Fuentes d'Onor, Badajoz, Salamanca, Vittoria, San Sebastian, and Nive, and received a cross and three clasps for his Peninsular services. He was subsequently engaged iu tho campaign in Flanders, was present at Wa terloo, and for his gallantry on that field received the order of. St. Vlaiim'r, fourth class, from the late Emperor of Russia, and was made a Knight Com mander of the Bath in 1815. He was also a Knight of the Tower and Sword of _Portugal. In 1845 he was appointed to the colonelcy of the 35th Foot, and attained the rank of general in 1854. He was Surveyor-General of the Ordnance under the Go vernment of Lord Derby from February to Decem ber, 1852, and sat for Devonport during the last Parliament in the Conservative interest. In 1815 ho married Lucy, elicit daughter and co-heir of the late Sir Thomas Sutton, Bart., by whom be has left three sons, and a daughter, married in 1838 to Lieut. Col. Randal Rumley. Naval and Military Intelligence. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 28. Great activity prevails in this dockyard in the Construction and completion of the new men-of 'war on the various building slips. They comprise the Victoria, 131 guns • Prince of Wales, 131 ; Duncan, 101 ; Royal Frederick, 116 ; and Bac chante 51. All are, with the excep tion of the Royal 'Frederick (though she is to be made one), acrew-ships and will be propelled by engines it.f . from 600 to 1,000 horse power. The Vic toria, Duncan, and Bacchante will be especi ally ships of great tonnage and force of armament. These new ships do not, notwithstanding their superiority of tonnage, the advantage of steam pro rilsion, and weight of armament over those built for former British navies, seem to possess an equal amount of durability. Lying in two docks close to each other are Nelson's old flag-ship, the Victory, built in 1765, and thelscrew frigate Arrogant always considered a very fine ship, built in 1848. Appearances show that the older ship is sounder by Jar than the new one. The Victory was taken into dock because she leaked very badly, and which vas caused, it was said, by her timbers being rot ten. She was last in dock about 25 years ago, and Las had therefore no repairs since. Still, when the water was let out of the dock, the leak was found to be caused by a patch of copper having been rubbed off her bottom (by her fouling on her moor ings), and so enabling the worms to actually eat through her side. The Victory's unsound timbers are estimated as only 1-Bth of the whole. On the contrary, the Arrogant has during nine years been in dock some three or four times under boing repairs to a greater or less extent. She is now ein g almost entirely rebuilt. It is generally be lieved that such ships as the Duke of Wellington, Marlborough, and the other large ships, will prove as little durable as the Arrogant ; but, although this plan of building ships may seem a waste of public money, it would almost appear that it is as econo mical as any other. Up Portsmouth harbour, there are very many as fine and durable ships as the Victory. These have, however, gone totally out of use, and perhaps will only see service again as coal hulks or convict-depots. Some of these line-of battle ships, 40 or 50 years old, have seen no more sea-service than is comprised in a voyage round, from the yards at which they were built, to this port to be fitted out. If the newly-built ships were built of equally sound wood, and allowed to become welt seasoned before they were launched, they too might in a few years' time be also super seded by some other new class of vessel, and thus b 3 condemned to inaction themselves.

A. Wetherall, Adjutant• General, resumed his duties at the Horse Guards yesterday, after attending the French camp at CITY SHERIEF'S C('-ATRT. (Before Mr. PrerAergast, Q. C. BLACKER V. JEY.I(INS. -A GHOST. Mr. May appeared for the defendant. This was a case in which plaintiff sought to re cover the sum of 11. 3s. for necessaries supplied to defendant's children. Plaintiff stated that tho de fendant had in the month of December in last year abandoned his wife and children through alleged adultery on the pact of the wife. Defendant was a short time ago summoned by the parish authorities before Alderman Carden, and he was there ordered to pay so much a week for the support of his wife. An action had been brought in this court for money due for necessaries supplied to the wife, but that action had been settled by plaintiff's solicitor, and the plaintiff had not received one penny. His Honour—Solicitors are very dangerous per sons to deal with. _ _ _ - Plaintiff—lt has proved so in my case. (Laughter.) I assure your hononr that I supported defendant's wife and children when they were starving. Mr. May said that the defendant's wife left, with out his consent, a very comfortable home ; that de fendant never authorised plaintiff to supply her or the children with necessaries ; that the wife was re pea+edly intoxicated, and had committed adultery, and had taken away 901. in money, besides goods, when she left defendant's house in December last. After a great deal of irrelevant evidence, Alexander Wood was called to prove the adul tery against the wife. He said, on® night I was awoke from sleep by a noise, and jumping out of bed I went to the landing and saw Mrs. Jenkins standing at her bedroom door in her night-dress talking to a man in his shirt. I said, " Who's there ?" to which Mrs. Jenkins replied, "A friend of mine"—(loud laughter)—so I went back to bed and went to sleep. (Roars of laughter.) His Honour—Now come, witness; do you mean sincerely to tell us that you really saw this? Witness—Yes. His Honour—Are you sure it wasn't yourself ? (Laughter.) Wit n ess—Yes. His Honour—lt might have been a ghost. (Roars of laughter.) Witness—l don't think it' was, Mr. Jenkins was often intoxicated, and sometimes used to come into my room in her night dress while I was in bed, and sit on the bed. and talk. (Lughter.) After some further evidence his Honour ex pressed himself somewhat Wrongly upon the evi dence offered, frequently interrupting Mr. May, defendant's solicitor. At last Mr. May threw down his brief, and said —With all these interruptions it is impossible to go on with the case. I will never come here again. (Applause. ) His Honour—l am sorry for it. However, I must do justice. I think Wood's evidence unworthy of credit, and that the chllren were properly sup ported by plaintiff. Verdict for plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Sept. 28. MANSION-HO IJSE.-LJohn Franklin and Wm. Kerp were brought before the Lord l\layor by Hayd..n, the detective officer, charged with having uttered. a forged cheque fur 2701., under the fol lowing circumstances : Haydon, the officer, having been sworn said—ln consequence of a communication I received from the Union Bank I was there at one o'clock t)-day, and saw Franklin at the counter. Mr. Robinson, at the counter had a cheque in his hand. I spoke to him and he banded me the cheque producel for 2701., dated 25th September, 1857, purporting to be drawn by Judah Levy Yuly, and payable to Mr. A. Bland or bearer, and endorsed on a receipt stamp, "A. Bland." I asked Franklin if he had presented that cheque. He replied " Yes." I in formed him that it was a forged cheque, and re quested him to accompany me to a private room. In answer to a question put to him he told ma he had received the cheque that morn ing. from a friend of his named Bland, in the Three Colts public house, London-wall, for bets won to that amount on the St. Leger Race. He offered to accompany ma to the Three Colts and point the man out to me. I left the bank with him for the purpose of going there. On reaching Moorgate-street, a club was standing by the kerb stone, the prisoner Kerp being inside. Franklin, pointing to Kerp, said, " That's the man I received the cheque from." Kerp denied this, and said he knew nothing at all about the cheque. Kerp refused to give me his name. On searching Frank lin at the station-house, I found on him 71. ss. in a purse, a watch, chain, two rings, and some other things. On Kerp I found 41. 4:4. 11d. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewig, for Franklin—l have since been to the Three Colts. Franklin did not me where Bland lived. He said Kerp was the man who hal given him the cheque. Mr. C. B. Robinson, cashier at the Union Bank of London, said—The cheque produced was pre sented to me to-day by the prisoner Franklin. I perceived at once that it was a forgery. He asked for five 501. notes and 20 sovereigns. I sent then for an officer. The cheque-book from which the cheque has been taken, was oV ained by a forged order. The prisoners were remanded. Three journeymen shoemakers, named Isaac Johnson, William Day, and John Taylor, who had been remanded, but admitted to bail, upon the charge of having stolen a shawl of the value of a sovereign from the person of Mrs. Rogers, at half- Thst three o'clock on the morning of Wednesday last, again appeared before the Lord Mayor. Mr. Sorrell, a solicitor, attended, and said that the prosecutrix had ascertained that the prisoners, who were hard working and respectable men, had been drinking freely at their club previous to taking her shawl, and that she did not wish to press the charge against them. - The Lord Mayor—lt certainly was a most extra ordinary case. I cannot believe that the prisoners a cted with auy felonious intent. They were no doubt in liquor, having stayed at their club three hours after midnight. Their conduct was very im proper, and I hope the punishment they have re ceivei will be a lesson to them for the future. The prisoners thanked his lordship and left the 001 t. Thos. John Rogers, the husband of the prosecu trix, whoie ill usage of his wife had been proved on a former occasion, then appeared in front of the dock. Mr. Sorrell said the prisoner's wife, who was not in attendance, had wade a communication to him to the effect that she had agreed to separate from her husband foc a time, and that she had no charge to prefer against him. The Lord Mayor—l cannot be a party to any ar rangement of that description. It the wife chooses not to attend I cannot help it. At the last exami nation she stated that the prisoner had ill-used her continually for twelve yell's, although she had paid his debts, and provide]. him with a comfortable home. he also said that the last time he assaulted her, he beat her most cruelly all over her body, and fractured one of her ribs. Mr. Sorrell—The rib, it appears, is severely in jured, bnt it is not fractured. The Lord Mayor—The doctor's certificate said it was. scandalous assaults had been committed, and or del ed the prisoner to pay 405., or ten days, for the first offince, and t b 3 imprisoned one month, witliout the option of paying any fine. LAMBETEL—James Cutler and Elizabeth Cut ler, his wife, were brought up for further exami nation, on a charge instituted by the authorities of Newington parish against the man for neglecting and ill-using his family of four. children, and the woman fir deserting them. Ms case has already ben fully repot - LA, and was only adjourned in consequence of the illness of the male prisoner, who had only just come out of the hospital. _ _ . Mr. Elliot said that as the children were at the time under the sole care of the father, the woman was not responsible under the act. She would therefore be discharged. The male prisoner must be c immitted for trial for the misdemeanour. SOUTHWARK.—James Fricker, a very re pectable-looking young man, was brought up in custody of Sergeant Raymond, M division, charged with robbing his employer, Mr. Thos. Steel, linen draper, High-streel - , Southwark, of a large quantity of silk, ribbons, gloves, and other property. The prosecutor said that up to Saturday last the prisJutr had been only nine days in his employ as sh .pman. On that day he had occasion to enter his bedroom, when he opened the prisoner's box, which was unlocked, and in it he saw several articles which he knew to be a portion of his stock. He instantly communicated with Serge ant Raymond, who came to his preniises in the afternoon, when he called the prisoner and asked him what property be had in his box. He replied nothing ; only what belonged to him. Witness then took him up to his bedroom with the officer, who opened his box, and took out the property produced, which he identified as his pr Jperty. Mr. Combs asked him whether he had any char act with him ? Mr. Steel replied that he had a very fair charac ter with him, but he mu.lt have commenced robbing hitn the first day. Sergeant Raymond, the acting-inspect )r at the Stone;-end police station, said he found a large quantity of copper money, two pieces of blue rib bon, several pairs of stockings, gloves, and some silk, in the prisoner's box. The prosecutor identi fied the articles as his property, and gave the pri soner into custody, when he begged of hii master not to press the charge. The prioner here declared ; that the whole of the property was his excepting one of the pieces of rib ht n. He acknowledged that that came from Mr. Steel's stock, bat it had been purchased by a female w'ita lel it in his car t, promiiug to sill fur it. The prosecutor positively swore that the whole of the property was stolen from his stock within the las:, few days, when his worship remanded the pl.:- suner to enable the offic zrs to make further inquiries.

The case was minutely gone into, but nothing but cir cumstantial evidence was adduced, the strongest ptnnts being the threat to Mr. Evans ; no one, save the man belonging to the inn, being near the spot where the fire commenced, excepting the two buys Bryan and Walley ; the former's calling the other's attention to the fire; and there being no marks of fire but in Van Eyck's bt x, and they being chiefly on that part nearest to Mr. Southby's stable. Walley stated that the candle was not taken into the stall next to Van Eyck, but that it remained in the box most remote from it, which was Bryan's. Of c ourse the unfortunate circumstance of the horse having been burnt most terribly, has excited the utmost concern in the town, The horse is not exi.ected to survive many days, The boys departed with their horses, but from the suspl• 'ciousnees of the affair a policeman was sent after them, and brought them back. Bryan was committed to take his trial at the next assizes, but the magistrates offered to take bail for his appearance to the amount of 2001. for himself, and two eurrties of 1001 each.

Thomas Mullins, 32, tailor, was indicted for un lawfully assaulting a girl under 10 years of age, named Elizabeth Ann Salmon Sutton, with in tent, &c. After a long trial the jury found the prisoner Guilty, and Mr. Creasy sentenced him to be kept to hard labour for the period of one year. Mahmoud Ally, a native of Calcutta, a sharp, intelligent-looking young man, described as well educated, but having the alias of George Brown, was indicted for stealing a cheque-bock value ls., the property of Messrs. Grindlay and Co., the East India military agents. Syed. AbdctellA, interpreter, and Mouloee Mo hummud Shah, Persian, secretary to the Princes of Oude, were in attendance. Mr. J. P. Doyle prosecuted. There were four charges against the prisoner, but he was tried on one only, from the evidence given in support of which it appeared that on the 6th of August he went to Messrs. Grindlay's branch esta blishment in St. Martin's-place, and stated to Mr. Royle, the manager, that he had come from India and had a sum of 3,7651. 10s. sd. in the hands of Messrs. Hodgson and Baker, of Liverpool, which he wished to be transferred to a London house, so that he could make it conveniently available for his purposes, as he was making arrangements to le tve for India by the overland route on the 20th. The manager told him he could have the money remitted to them by his giving them an order on the Liverpool firm, and that when they had received it he would have a cheque-book, and could draw upon them as he might require. The prisoner professed to be utterly ignorant of the mode of drawing moneyby cheque, and Mr. Royle showed him a cheque-book, and expla'ned the course of business, and, as the prisoner had stated that he wanted to make a number of purchases before he left London, ho gave him a price current ofirticles required for India. After he had shown him the cheque-book, which the prisoner did not then ac tually have in his possession, he laid it on a table, and the prisoner asked for a glass of water. He was told to walk into an inner room and take one, and iu going to that room he would have to pass the table on which the cheque-book was lying. As he went away, he said he should call again on Satur day, the day on which Mr. Boyle said they should receive an answer from Liverpool, in the ordinary course ; but he had not been gone long when ties cheque-book was missed, and in an hour or two atterwards a person called with a cheque drawn in favour of Messrs. Moses and Son, for 161. odd. Mr. Boyle went with that person to Messy.. Moses' branch place of business, in Oxford-street, whore he found the prisoner, who had given the cheque in payment for purchases he had made. Mr. Royle expressed his surprise that ho was in possession of the book, and said if it was not given up at once he should give him into custody. The prisoner said he was surprised the cheque had not been paid, after he had given au order upon his Liverpool bankers for over 3,0001., and he would not give up the cheque-book unless Mr. Boyle gave him a me morandum cancelling the order. Mr. Boyle refused to do anything of the kind, and in sisted on having the book given up to him. The prisoner reluctantly restored the book, and he was placed in the custody of a p liceman, and it was then ascertained that he had been committing frauds by representing that he was an aide-de camp to the Queen of Oude, and as may be easily imagined, a communication was received from Liverpool to the effect that the prisoner ha I no effects there. After the prisoner had given the cheque to Messrs. Moses, he sdd he was compelled to be at the house of the Queen of Oude at three o'clock, but as a messenger had been despatched to Grindlay's with the cheque to see if it was bona fide, several devices were resorted to by which he prolonged his stay until the messenger returned. When at Grindlay's the prisoner said he should only require to draw for the odd hundreds, the thousands he should leave in their hands to his credit until he arrived in India and could make arrangements for its transmission. The prisoner admitted to Inspector Checkley when in custody that he had no authority from the Oude fan i y, and that he had no funds in Liverpool. The prisoner, who spoke English fluently, cross examined Mr. Boyle with a good dealof ingenuity, his object being to show that he received the cheque; bosk from his hands when he gave the order, and could not therefore be chargedwith stealing it. Mr. Boyle stated positively that he never parted with the possession of it, but laid it on the table after he had shown it to the prisoner. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and it was then proved that he had been committed twice for three months as a rogue and vagabond, and sen tenced to nine months', under a conviction at the Old Bailey. Mr. Doyle said there were three other cases against the prisoner, one for attempting to obtain a carriage, value 192'. 109. from Messrs. Silk and Sons, of Long-acre, one for the f: and upon Messrs. Moses, and one for oUtaiuing an opera-glass, and ten tickets of admission to the Surrey gardens, on the occasion of Mrs. Seacole's benefit, with intent to defraud M. Jullien, by s epresenting that they were for the Queen of Oude Mr. Creasy said the pi isoner ce.tainly ought to be tried on another charge, Inv it would b 3 iardly fair that lie should be, after h s convic•ions had been proved in the hearing of the jury. It seemed that the prisoner was a practiscd cunning rogue, and he should sentence him to eighteen months' hard labour. Mary Healey, 16, was iudicted fur unlawfully as , aulting Laurence Shea. The prisoner was left in charge of five children. of poor parents at Cliehea who had to go out to work. One day when her mother got home she found that her youngest child, just two years of age, had been beaten with a tine ; there were f om 30 to 40 marks of cane-stripes about its legs and tody, and the prisoner said she had done it te.:ause it was dirty, but without any cruel in ten ion. She now said she was very sorry for it, and she thought she had done no more than she should have done t. her own brother. • _ _ _ _ The jory found her Guilty, and as she had het n in custody nearly six weeks Mr. Creasy sentenced hsr to another mouth. ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-INN-ROAD.—The number of patients relieved at thiS hospital during the week ending Sept. 2ts is 2,394, of which 750 were new oaeH. Mr. Sorrell—The prisoner had been drinking on the night of the assault. The Lord Mayor—That is no excuse for such cruelty and such gros3 misconduct. I have no doubt the prisoner is an idle, drunken, disorderly and I call on him to ent r into his own recognisance in 201., and find ono surety in 101., to keep the peace and be of goad behaviour for six month?. BOW-STREET.—EIIen Harvey was charged with attempting to drown herself in one of the or namental reservoirs in Trafalgar-square. About 11 o'clock on Saturday night she jumped into the re servoir, but was almost directly dragged out by two gentlemen. On., of these gentlemen, Mr. Sprague, of Villiers-street, Strand, stated that they placed her in a cab arid took her to Charing-cross Hospital, where they found a porter who was drunk and kept them waiting a quarter of an hour without procuring any assistance. They then to. )k the woman to the Westminster Hospital, where she was at once attended to. Mr. Jardine remanded the prisoner, and said he should write to the Secretary at Charing-cross Hos pi! al respecting Mr. Sprague's stat-4ment. MA.RYLEBONE.—John Collin and Mary Col lin, his wife, were charged with having, on the previous afternoon, meat , d such a disturbance in the Elgeware-road as to cause a crowd of at least 300 persons to assemble. The mother of the female was very active in the row. The male prisoner said that his wife was, during his absence from home, in the habit of selling his furniture, &c., and that on Friday last he found his place nearly stripped of his property. He at tributed these goings ou in a great measure to his wife's mother, who continually caused bickerings by her improper interference in housekeeping matters. _ The wife said that her husband did not allow her sufliAent money for her support, and that she was the.zefore obliged to use the best means. she could to take care of herself. Mr. Broughton could not decide as to which was in the wrong, and discharged loth the prisoners will a cAution as to their future conduct. The man asked the magistrate if he would be kind enough to put him in the way of getting divorced from his wife, as it was quite impossible he could continue to live with her. Mr. Broughton gave him to understand that he could not afford him advice or assistance in the matter. GeDrge Thorn was placed at the bar before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Broughton, charged with having committed the following burglary at the residence of Mr. Wm. Barry, a naval officer retired on half-pay, and residing with his family at 17, Cunningham-place, St. John's-wood. It appeared from the evidence that at five this morning prosecutor was awoke by a noise in the l'a-k drawing-room in whi !la he slept, and imme diately missed his gold watch, which he placed on a taide near the bed. He got up, and seeing the prisoneron the floor upon his handsand knees, ast, el him what he slid there, to which he made no le ply. He was questioned as to where the watch was, when, without any hosqation, he g Lye it up ; on the outside of the door were a screw, a screw driver, and a moitice chisel; close to them was a tin box, which had been also stolen from th.i apa. tment alluded t It had in it a quantity of paper, and had not been unlocked ; and 'von the premises being examined by Brown, 33t D, and Sergeant Brand, 7 R, after the prisoner was at the staiion, it was discovered that an entry into the house had been effected by forcing open the front ki•chen shutters and windows. The prisoner ad nti:ted to the officers that he had broken in, and said he supposed it would be a four years' job for him. He did not now attempt t 3 deny his guilt, and the magistrate remanded him fix a week, in order to afford an opportuniiy for ascertaining if there w,:s any previous conviction against him. WORSHIP-STREET.—John Doogan, a power ful labourer, was charged before Mr. D'Eyncouri, with a.saubing a licensed victualler and two con bt _Lb? es. Mr. 131.11, landlord of the Bull's Head public- I h use, in High-street, Whitechapel, deposed that la'it evening the 'accused entered his house and demanded to be served with liquor. As the man was very much the worse foe drink witness refused to supply him, . upon which he struck him a violent blow iu the mouth, causing it to bleed considerably. With difficulty he was ejected, and given into the cha•ge of a constable.

C.ty police-constable . 625 confirmed the c 034- plaint, and added that while endeavouring to I kase Queenby from his asailant, he received seve ral desperate kicks from the ruffian, who, having divested himself of his coat, was ye! y difficult to he secured. Queenby was bleeding profusely. 1 The simple defence was that of dr unkennesa, and not recollecting anything about the matter ; but Mr. D'Eyucourt observed that it was clear three Williams was thca sworn, and stated distinctly that Langton did strike the complainant. Mr. Ingham sentenced him to be imprisoned for 14 days with hard lab mr.

[AuvEariseuesr ]—The possibility of abandoning medicine altogether is shown by the numerous extraordinary cures, without medicine, of indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, con stipation, nervous bilious, and liver complaints, cough, asthma; consumption, and debility, effected by Du Barry's delicious Health - restoring Revalenta Arabica Food. The following are not tne least remarkable : Clunbury, Shropshire, Dec. 22, 1856.—Gentlemen,—Being one of your greatest debtors in respect to the Revalenta Arabica, I beg to offer you my testimony in its favour. For many years I suffered severely from chronic rheumatism, which at length produce.d,a co mplication of nervou s di sease s that made' me perfectly miserable. The most approved reme dies in medicine and Diet were had recourse to in vain, the faculty of digestion was brought to a complete stand-still, awl death must apparenty have soon resulted had not my attention been providentially drawn to the Revalenta Ara bica. The very satisfactory character of the testimonials induced me to make a t ial of it ; even within a few days after I commenced using it some of the worst symptoms were so much subdued as to enable me to take a sufficient quantity of foo f and drink without any injurious consequences. Tnis I had not be .n able to do for four years previously, and dur ing the last two months of this time not in any measure ex cept at the imminent risk of my life, though the greatest care was used in the selection' of what was taken ; sleep had nearly forsaken me, this has now been res..ored to me, and I am now, after having taken the Revalenta for some time; able to perform those functions of animal life which before had been nearly suspended iu me. I have seen it produce equally good effects in other cases, among some of inv friends to whom I have recommended it, but to ex plain all the benefit which I have received from it would be to fill a pamphlet.—l am, &c., JAMES CHAPMAN.

The past week's accounts were not very heavy, the wea•her was most unpropitious, and there was little expectation of the betting being par ticularly brisk. Several of the principal turfites, too, bad betaken themselves to Newmarket, and altogether the numbers of backers of horses was perceptibly dimi nished. M. Dobler was still in great demand for the Cesare witch, but the principal outlay in his favour took place in the City in the morning, where he was backed at 7 to 1, odds which were currently offered against hi:n this afternoon. The operation® on the Cambridgeshire were not very moortant.

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A JOCKEY. MONMOUTH, Sept. 26.—W. Bryan was cha'ged before the borough magistrates this day, by Mr. Evans, the owner of Van Eyck, "for that he did maliciously set on fire the box or stall which contained Van Eyck, for the purpose of injuring the horse." Bryan rode Blue Bell for Mr. Evans at the Chippenham Races, at during the race Lis leg came in con , act with one of the flagstaffs, which dismounted him, and placed the mare hors decom bat. On Bryan applying for bis fee on Friday night, Mr. Evans, thinking that through the boy's carelessness his mare hal 100 the race, refused to give him anything, on which it is alleged that Bryan remarked, "Then I will do something for you." Bryan, and a lad named Walley, had had the charge of Mr. Southby's horses Leo and Cira Fatima, for whom each of them. had ricden in the course of the meeting. These horses were located at the Angel, as were Van Eyck and Blue Bell. All four horses were in adjoining boxes. Mr. Southby's were separated from Mr. Evans's by a strong partition, with a gangway through, but which was stopped up by an old nailed-up door, at the top and bottom, and at the side of which were apertures. Bryan and Walley got up early on . Sa turday morning to prepare their horses for the journey homewards; they used a candle in the stable, as it was dark. As \Valley, according to his statement on oath, was leading Cata Fatima out of the stable, Bryan called nis attention to a fire in the next box, Van Eyck's, and he went and looked through the crevices and saw the stable in flames. The boys did not give any alarm, but proceeded to make their escape, with their horses, from the impending danger; immediately afterwards one of the horseke.epers of the establishment discovered the firer gave the alarm, broke open the door (Van Eyck',), and then saw the poor horse in the midst of the fire, which was raging tearfully around him, from his heels to his nostrils. The horse was rescued as soon as possible. Deacon, the man who had charge of Mr. Evans's horses, was in bed at the tin e ; he had done them up the night before, and retired to rest, taking the key of the stable with im. 0 h 37 4( 4 4207 30 440 164 2448 463 Colchester • Harwich Leigh Mallon i _. ~ b 3 . a w gi P 4 P-1 ; 32 10 '1 73 COLCHESTER— SETT. 26.
