IRELAND. DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING. 011;WAY ELECTION INQUIRY. The commissioners appointed by her Majesty's t, arrant to inquire into the alleged existence ofcor- ript praw ices at the elections for the town of Gal way will proceed tty execute their functions on the 29th of the present month. The object and powers of the commission are thus defined :-- "The inquiry is itestiteeted under the act 15th and 18th of Victoria, c. 57, and is the first instance in which that enactment Las been applied in Ireland. For the purpose of enabling the comMilBif,n,rs* effectually to carry on the investigation, they have been iereested by the Legislature with v ry ample powers to compel the attendance of wit s:lessee and to enforce th e decoys. Ty cf truth. They are (empowered to require the atteiedance of every person whose evidence they may deem material, and by adopt ing. the en ceedings pointed out in the statute the penalty ut imprisonment under attachment can. be inflicted on the party absent. It is also to be obsery ed that, as these comit.issions are the result of a previous' inquiry before a rarl!an.eutary committee, the names of all persons im i Ucated iu any objectionable tran actions' are known, to that nothing is really gained by a person absenting him self. On the contrary, it is the interest of .eiy person im plicated to come forward as a witness, as fix e act enables She commissioners to protect and indemnify the witness from all legal consequences of his acts by giveog the wit mess a certificate that he has made a true disclosure touching all things on which he has been examined. The eth section of the act (omitting formal terms') provides that every person who has been engaged in any corrupt practices at or connected with any election, ansi who is examined as a witness and gives evidence toughing such (Irrupt practices before the commissioners, and who upon such examination makes a true discovery to the best of his knowledge touching all things on which he is so examined, shall be free d from all penal notions, forfeitures, punishments, disabilities, and Inca pacitie., and all criminal prosecutions , to which he may Lave been or may become liable at the suit of her Ma jesty or any other person ; and no person shall be ex• caused from answering any question put by such com suiseioners on the ground th.t the answer will tend to criminate such person. It will thus be seen that a wit ness, however implicated, can by giving his evidence candidly protect himself from all evil consequences ; whereas if he is not examined, or, being examined, shall not deserve and obtain from the commis sioners a certificate, he is left open to a prose cution for his acts, which will inevitably be directed by the House of Commons onitbe coming in of the report of the commissioners. The commissioners eau also adjourn as often and as long as they choose, and can make special reports from time to time, and report matters especially to the Qeeen and House of Commons ; so that the result is, no witness by going away can evade the commissioners, as if he is not there at one time they can resume the inquiry at another. The witnesses will be allowed for their time according to the Treasury scale. The consequence of all these provisions has been that a number of commissions issued in England have worked most satisfactorily, and those who told the truth have obtained their certificates of indemnity, while those who either di i not attend, or, having attended, gave their evidence encendidly, and so lost the protection of the Commissioners' certificate, hays' been reported to the iiume of Commons, and dealt with according as their cases deserved." Ti.e commissioners are Mr. J. T. Ball, Q.C., and'L L.D., moderate Conservative (and not Mr. John Ball, the late Under-Secretary, as erroneously states) ; Mr. John Leahy, and Mr. P. F. White, barristers and Liberals. THE IRISH SEPOYS. One or two of the provincial organs of the Sepoys having been again this week championing the cause of their Indian allies, the Belfast I'lercerry, a Liberal Protestant journal, and, by no means hostile to the Roman Catholic body at large, comes is the unwelcome conclusion that the vile senti ruenes of thee writers are shared by a considerable number of the Roman Catholic population. This, however, is an overstrained charge. Sepoy demon ries may, and probably do, find favour in the eyes of a few dozen of scamps in Dublin and Tipperaiy, but beyond those narrow limits there is no sympa thy or affection. The days of Irish treason have long died out, and another generation at least must arise before the wicked follies of 1848 will be tole rated by any " considerable number of the Roman Catholic population." The Mercury thus puts the question : "On what other supposition can we account for the fact that they are put forward, week after week, by a large portion of the exclusively Roman Catholic journals. The proprietors of those prints have too keen a sense of their own pecuniary interests to adopt a course otherwise than pleasing to the great bulk of their subscribers. While, therefore, such meetings as that held in Carrick-on- Suin and such a repudiation of Sepoyism as the Freeman so crt ditably manifests, prove that there exists among the respectable Roman Catholics a true, loyal, and manly feeling on the subject, it is utterly impossible to shut our eyes to the fact that among the Roman Catholics of Ireland as a body such a feeling is not shared. When we find journals in various counties giving expression to the most atrocious sentiments, and professing to do so as the representatives of true Roman Catholic feeling, how can we help believing them as long as they are per mitted to exist by those support they can alone rely I Of late years many things have occurred to bring Roman Catholics into disodonr. Affecting to be the warm ad- Tocetcs of civil and religious liberty, they have proved themselves on several memorable occasions to be the -veriest slaves of the worst description of tyranny. They hoWl after an unrighteous ascendancy in this coon try ; they desire to destroy all liberty that is incon sistent with their own aggressive policy, and they make no secret of their ardent hope that Ireland may revolt like India—that every man, woman, and chill not of their own creed and policy may be subjected to the turtle treatment that the sepoy barbarians inflicted on our brethren in India. There can be no mistake now upon this subject The evidence is too clear, too nnequ!- vocil, to permit a doubt. Is it not, then, full time for such of the Roman Cathelics as do not participate in the vile policy expressed by such miscreants, to adopt some efficient means to disassociate themselves from those who profess to represent their opinions truly—to reflect their feelings faithfully THE CATTLE DISEASE. latter from Miltown, in the county of Kerry, and pub'ished in the Tralee Chronicle of yesterday, mays : " 1 am sorry to have to inform you that the cattle dis ease made its appearance here for soma time past, and is on the increase. Some farmers have lost as many as 12 or 14 hoad of cattle. S ,veral others who purchased dry cattle in the early part of the year sold them all off M the late fairs, and at a c.)nsiderable loss." LOLA MONTES. Lola Montes has addressed the following epistle to the elitor of the Montreal Witness :—" Sir,—A gentleman of this city has just put into my hands a catty of your paper, in which you make au unpro- Yuk“.l attack on me, and recommend respectable 'people not to hear my lectures. Now, sir, in the notice which lam about to take of you, do not sup pose that I am moved by any idea that what you say will influence people of real respectability and intelligence. The public press must have already itifortried you that it is precisely from that class that my lectures receive the largest patronage. But a feeling of justice to:myself impels me to ask you wliat motive any fair minded man can have for assaulting me in the pursuit of an honourable and blameless calling ? Is it not, sir, from the depravity of your own bad nature that the attack thus sprung ? Am I not earning my bread as respectably as you aro yours I—and I rejoice in knowing that in the midst of all the malice and falsehood which have been heaped upon me, I have never yet to my knowledge been thus assailed by any man who was himielf of faultless life. My assailants have been from the ranks of men like yourself, who have no vierible means of getting a character but by sheieting at the tops of their voices against vice—men who, having worn themselves out in the service of sin, set up to be the special enemies of sinners. My manner of life is squarely and prominently before the pvs'elic, and scandal itself does not dare to say that •It is not morally blameless. Of course, I can not here enter into any defence of my past career ; but there are hundreds of honourable men on this aide of the Atlantic who know that until circum• 11 „t.*ncf-s threw me int o th e s t orm y are n a o f politics, I'4tre sins far less o f ev il re p or t a tt ac h e d t o m y n ame than to that of almost any other lady of my profes to rl the vilification The c-tuses which afterwards led are und, with devout urie?; to be partly understood, waiting an f : r e t o h n e t r b e e e p t s o tic e e o of e Go ru d i , la l t am patiently nay life It as not keen without errors I do not deny, but tirit I ever deserved the abuse which suc es you avould heap upon me I do deny, and history "rip_ iala day vindicate my right to say this of m 3 - said.

Hogart, 7th Hussars, left London yesterday, and proceeds to India by the overland route to meet his regiment at Calcutta. In the Quebec Gazette of Sept. 8 we read : " Yesterday morning the left wing of the 39th arrived here from Montreal in the steamer Quebec and this morning the head-quarters arrived in the Canadian. On arrival the respective divisions marched up to the citadel barracks, where they are to be quartered." The left wing of the 9th Regiment, under com mand of Major Bethune, arrived in Montreal on Monday evening, Sept. 7, in the Upper Canada steamer. They uumber as follows :-1 field officer, 3 captains, 17 subalterns, 1 staff, 27 sergeants, 17 drummers, 339 rank and file, 26 women, and 32 children. The right wing was expected on the fol• lowing day. The companies of Royal Artillery at Woolwich, comprising the heavy siege trains, are now fully equipped, and are awaiting embarkation orders for India. These companies have been exercised in heavy gun drill during the past fortnight at the Royal Military Repository on Woolwich-common. A pi rtiou of the Roya! Artillery force of 1,500, re cently placed under orders for India, were ordered to be in readiness to embark at the Royal Arsenal pier this day ; but the embarkation has been de layed, in consequence of the vessel selected for their conveyance having been rejected, after a care ful inspection, by competent officers connected with the dockyard. Captain Desborough's field battery will embark at Gravesend for Calcutta during the present week. The three field officers appointed to command the divisions of the Royal Artillery in India—namely, Lieut.-Colonel H. W. Montrts r, Lieut.-Col. G. Gambier, C.B , and Lieut.-Colonel Evan Maberly—are ordered to proceed by the overland route. Recruits are daily reaching the head-quarters of the Artillery at Woolwich from the various pro vincial stations, and after being passed are forth with equipped add put through the necessary drills for foreign service. Yesterday several parties arrived at Woolwich for presentAtion from York, Ipsvricb, Watford, St. Alban's, Portsmouth, and some other localities appointed as recruiting sta tions of the corps. Numbers are rejected as being below the registered stature, five feet four inches being the lowest standard for admission to the Royal Artillery. Brevet-Major Ward's A troop of Royal Horse Artillery, at Woolwich, has been medically in spected for service in India. The completion of the screw steam-ship Edgar, 91, at Woolwich, is ordered by the Lords of the Adinjralty to be pushed forward, so as to commence the Anson and two other 50-frigates, with. as much despatch as possible. The Edgar is expected to be launched about April next. The other two ships are to be named the Repulse and the Barossa, of 2,100 tons each. The screw steamship Great Britain steamed out of the Mersey yesterday afternoon for Cork, where she will embark between 1,100 and 1,200 men, with horses, belonging to the Bth Hussars and 17th Lancers, with whom she will sail direct for Bombay. A. large number of persons crowded the quays to witness her departure, and wish her " God speed." MILITIA. The 2d Royal Lanark Militia are to be embodied with all convenient speed. The regiment is upwards of 1,000 strong. The Dumfries Militia will assem ble for embodiment on the Ist October next. The 4th Royal Lancashire Light Infantry Militia assembled at Warrington yesterday for permanent duly, and mustered 36 officers and 910 men, and, as numbers are hourly arriving, it is expected that in a few days the full strength (1,240 men) will have joined. On Monday the North Down Rifles mustered for embodiment at Newtownards. Although only a week's notice had been given, and the men were necessarily scattered—some in Scotland and others i❑ various parts of Ireland, following their various callings—still, at the first roll-call on Monday 410 men answered to their names. Their appearance was highly creditable, and such as naturally elicited the commendation of their Colonel, the Marquis of Londonderry. All the officers were present. The South Do if ns were also embodied on Monday last at Hillsborough, when the attendance at roll call was highly satisfactory. The ship's head being on the rock, her stern was rapidly settling down into deep water ; the great fear was lest she should at once slip off the reef, in which case all on board must have been at once en gulfed. The troops and officers were sent below ; the pumps were set a-going ; the soldiers worked up to their necks in water. " I assure you, though we were in the most imminent clanger, the mcst perfect order was preserve I, and not a man left the place he was ordered to remain in, and all sat down quietly except those who wore employed." At length the boats were got out, and the men all carried to a higher reef between the wreck and the shore, there to wait till they could be finally landed. There they Ftood, those 300 men, reso lute and calm, the sharp coral cutting their bare feet, the tropical sun blazing down on their shelterless heads, the tide gradually rising, with the full knowledge that when it was at its height the ledge of rock which just gave them bare standing room would be covered ten feet deep in water. Silently and steadfastly they stood there, the last detachment waiting for the last boat, with all the order of the parade ground, though another half-hour would have made that boat too late to save them. So now let the Transit pass into history, with cheers, three times three, for the brave British soldiers she had the honour to bear ; and with any sentiment deemed most appropriate for the gentlemen of the Admiralty, who, with ample warning, peril led the lives of 800 men like these, in a tub like this.—Duily 11 ews. ASTROLOGY ITV LIVERPOOL. Isaac Ransbury, a pale-faced, sinister-looking fellow, about 30 years of age, was brought up at the Liverpool Pace-court, on Wolnesday, charged with obtaining money under false pretences. The prisoner was chargA vitl:l defrauding El:z :beth Dickenson, jail Die....kenson, her husband, and Mrs. Jane Pulshaw, of River-view, Kirkdele, of 2/. 31. Fr.im the statement of MN. Dickenson, a rather good looking young woman, it appeared that the prisoner, w:to was known as a " w:se man," had gone to her house, and informed her, in the presence of her husband, Mrs. Purshaw, and her mother, that she was under the effect of a curse, and would drop down dead at 2 o'clock on the following Tuesday afternoon, unless his cabalistic powers were employed to raise the corpse of her father from his crave, whose presence alone could save her from her fate. His charge far calling up the departed spirit was " 4 half-sovereigns," bat ultimately agreed to accept three at the earnest solicitation of Mr. Dickenson and his circle of friends. The terms being agreed upon, the a.troloo'er ordered all parties out of the room, except himself and Mrs. Dickenson, and they accordingly with drew. When asked by the magistrate wky he had permitted his wife to be &one with the fortune-teller, Mr. Dicken- son naively replied, amidst the laughter of the crowded court, " Well, because I were soft, and that's the truth!" Whet' alone with, her in the room, the astrologer pro duced a long tape, marked with figures, and told Mrs. Dicker son, as the first step in the divination, that be must take the measure of her body all over, and he at tempted to lift her clothes, but she objected, and after a few observations about her " planet" the astrologer de Glared the seance ended, and said he would work out the oracle at home. Mr. Garnett (the magistrate's clerk)—You gave him three half sovereigns, then ? Husband—Yes ; they were part of my wages that I had saved up, and I would ha' gi'en him three and forty half sovereigns if I'd had 'em to save her life! (Llughter.) Superintendent Clough—You are not a Liverpool mau ? Husband—Naw, Naw, I coo frae Yorkshire ! (Laughter.) I'm a glassblower, and har bin here frae ten ttll twelve months. Magistrate—Did you give him any more money? husband—Navv, but he wanted 41. to give to 't Lnrd Chancellor, he said ! (Laughter.) Alter the necromancer had concluded the interview with Mrs. Dickenson his services were called into regal sitien by Mrs. Purshaw, who, fired by female curiosity, was also anxious to consult the fates. The prisoner off.red to rule her stars for 2s.fid., but eventually took 2s. In the private interview he made s miler overtures with the measuring tape to Mrs. Purshaw, but these being unsuccessful, be went away after obtaining her age and date of her birth-day. In a day cc two he came back with her " fortune" written out on a sheet of note paper, headed with the usual hieroglyphics. The "aspect of the planets" was produced in court, and the following is a co py of the strange document, for which Mrs. Pur shaw paid 24.: " This is the figuer of the Heavins at the Birth of the questioner. She is a genttle disposion and Somewhat adopted to jealousy And I find her a rough sperit but very forgiving. She will change from Lodgings on the following year 1853, and will live in a new built house of her own.

Mr. Garnett—And did you give hilu any more money? Mrs. Purshaw —Yes, sir ; he came to me and said my husband was taken with another woman, and that he would charm him for 3e. 9d.—(laughter)—but that if I would not give him he would make him go with ano:ber woman besides. He told me then he wanted the measure of my bopy, but I wouldn't let him have it. Magistrate—And did you give him money to charm your husband ? Mr.. Purshaw—Yes, sir ; for it was partly true what he'd said. (Laughter.) Mr. Garnett (to the prisoner) —You are charged with telling fortunes. Prisoner—l acknowledge it's all true. In answer to further questions, the prisoner raid he came from Belfast, and had only been in Liverpool about five weeks, but the Bridewell keeper said he believed Rensbury was convicted at Liverpool some years ago, and had only lately returned from transportation. The magistrate ordered the prisoner to be committed for three months, and kept to hard labour, as a rogue and a vagrant. Tne following is a capy of the prisoner's " busineses card :"—" Isaac I.

An officer commanding troops on board the Tran sit has given the public a graphic last glimpse of the fate of our old friend.. There is so much that is characteristic both of the unrivalled fortitude of our soldiers and the hopeless blundering of our authorities in this vigorous sketch, that we must direct brief attention to two or three of its more salient points, The Transit was a predestined fa vourite of the Circumlocution-office. The more public part of her career commenced, as we all know, with a crowning evidence of her proficiency in the great mystery' of " How not to do it." It was not a great deal that the Transit had to do ; she had only to carry about a couple of hundred noblemen to see the naval review at Spithead from Southampton and back again, and most sucoessfully did she contrive not to do it. Their lordships were too late for the review in the morning, and for the return train at night—a result, it may be remem bered, for which an indignant Senate was led to blame with some asperity a meritorious set of offi cial gentlemen, who had, of course, no difficulty in proving that nobody and nothing was in fault. A performance like this naturally commended the Transit to the especial notice of the Admiralty. Accordingly, when the China war broke out, she was duly commissioned by Authority, selected by . Routine, and rigged by Red Tape, witli the osten sible object of conveying some 800 British troops to Canton, but with a general conviction on the part of the public that her real function was again to display, on a larger scale, another sample of " flow not to do it." Sho was not long in fulfilling these well-founded expectations. The Bay of Biscay owd almost too much for her ; she strained, she rolled, she made wa'er, she pitched her spars over board, she welter„sd tub-like on the seas--finally, with inuch ado, she was enabled to run into Corunna to refit. Proceeding on h r voyage again she made the Cape in safety. What 13-fel her on the other side w as a repetition of the Bay of Biscay experi ence in the most aggravated form.

Then it was that the great qualities of the British troops on board were nobly brought into play. AMERICAN OPINIONS ON INDIA. The question has been asked, will England be able to put down this insurrection ? We ask, in turn, why not? She is the most powerful nation on the face of the globe—she has not only her own wealth, but the wealth of the world at her command ; she has no enemies in Europe to disturb her tranquillity at home, and she has, oftitne, confronted a world in arms. From 1704 to 1801 she subsidised all Europe to fight her battles against Republican France. From 1803 to 1809 she had no less than three coalitions against her—of Aus tria, Prussia, and Russia. From 1803 to 1812 she stood alone with her allies, Spain and Portugal, against all Europe; and from that time till 1815 she was at the hsal of the European coalition against Napoleon. In 1812 her expenditure was 96,000,0001 sterling, in 1813 it exceeded 100,000,0 001 ., in 1814 it swelled to 118,00t),000/., and in 1815 it reached the incredible figure of 126,000,0001. There is nothing like this in all history. Those who think that the great public debt with which she is burdened will prevent her in future from matting such exertione as she did in _times pa-t have not reflected that she is now nearly doubly as populous as she was then ; thet the value of her private property is three times as great ; that her tonnage has more than doubled itself : that, from the increase of col i and silver, money is not worth more than half what it vas at that time ; that, consequently, had everything else remained precisely as it was, the debt would be only half its nominal value, and that of her advancement in all other respects being considered, she has three times the ability to pay. Abe ye all, her sons are descended of a race the most persevering, the most indorniteble, the most energetic of which there - is any account. Sire will not only conquer, but she would do so in 'pit s of 2.'1 Europe, and with all Europe leagued against her. It has been suggested that she will inert with difficulties in raising troops, as she did in the Russian war ; but the English people had no parti cular grudge against the Russians, and no particular partially for the Turks. The case is different here. India is their own soil. They will enlist thoulauds to defend it. —Rieltmond Whig. We copy from the _Richmond Inig an article on the felahomedan revolt in India, which speaks encouragingly of the chauces of its suppression. Oar centernporary Cannot see why a nation which subsidised all Europe to fight in battles against Republican France—which from ISO 3 to 1812 stood alone with Spain and Portugal against all Europe, and which from 1812 to 1815 was able to stand an annual war Expenditure of more than one hundred millions starling, should be obliged to yield its Indian empire to the feeble Asiatics from whom it wrested it. Neither can we. Tuere is nothing in Great Britain's present circumstances which would seem to justify the slightest despondency on this score. Our purpose in referring to this artiohs in the Whit' is less to notice opinions to which we ourselves have frequently given expression, than to draw atten tion abroad to this iden'ity of views on the part of the American press. The enemies of England have endea voured to create an impression that the feeling of this country in regard to the difficulties of Great Britain in India and China is, on. the Cmt.nent, one of in difference, and even of satisfaction. Tuere can be no.greater mistake. If the American newspapers are to be taken :is any evidence of Annerican opinions, the feeling is all the other way. With the exception of some srnail Irish papers, conducted by such con sistent patriots as the Alabama's slaveholder, J. Mitchell, we believe that the general disposition expressed by our press has been that of sympathy—sympathy, let it be understood, not for the English Government or the Eng lish aristocracy, but for the English nation, who spring from the same stock and are animated by pretty nearly the earns sl irit and impulses as ourselves, and who have a further claim upon our regard in the similarity of their peli'ical institutions; to ours. Whatever may be thought of the means by which Englaed acquired her Indian empire, there can be no doubt that the struggle in e high she is now engaged is one of civilisation against barbarism, and that therefore all civilised na tioni should feel an interest in her triumph. But, in addition to this consideration, there is another which is s rarcely less powerful with a commercial nation like ones. In the hands of Great Britain, India is a vast productive field kept open to cur enterprise; in those of the Mahoinedens or Ilindoos it will be, if net entirely closed to us, an unsafe theatre for speculasine. Uudtr such circumstances it would be unnatural and suicidal on our part if we were to do any thing which would bold out encouragement to the one-nice of England is the present cri,is of her affairs. As we can afford to present a boll front to her when she is unreasrmable cud arrogant, we can off ;rd to be generous to her in the hour of her adversity. It is ()ply by such conduct that we can prove to the woil 1 the s uptriority of republican ideas and institutions.—The New York MIDDLESEX REGISTRITION,—The revi,ing barrister held his court yesterday, at the Now Globe, Mdc-end, No mater of the sli2htest irnporta , c 4 arose in any of the lists revised.

GUILDHALL. BETTING. •••••• Mr. Abraham Davis, described as a gentleman, residing at Dept ford, was placed at the bar, before Alderman Hale and Alderman Copeland, charged under the follow ing circumstances : Police-constable 325 said—l saw the prisoner and two or three other persons taking together in Bride-lane, this morning, and I took him into custody for obstructing the footway. I searched him, and found a watch, Si. 17s. sid., and a betting book upon him. Alderman Hale—Had the prisoner and th-se ho was talking with betting-books iu their hands Policeman—No, sir. Alderman Hale—Did they refuse to go away when you told them ? Policeman—They did not, sir. Alderman Hale—How many times had you cautioned them before? _ _ _ Policeman—About four or five times during the morning. Alderman Hale—Have you ever seen the pri soner there before ? Policeman—Often, sir ; nearly every day. Alderman Copeland—lf the officer would go into the passage leading to the Stock Exchange, he would there see bargains done in the consols among persons whom he might just as reasonably take into custody as the prisoner. I consider it a mon strous interference with the liberty of the subject to take a gentleman into custody who has com mitted no offence, and I should like to know by what authority they searched him and took his money and watch away.—(Applause.) Alderman Hale—You are, perhaps, not aware that these men assemble in the neighbourhood to the number of 100 and 150 at a time, to the ob struction of the thoroughfare and the great annoy ance of the inhabitants ; and I am determined to do all I can to put a stop to such an infringement of the act of Parliament. Alderman Copeland—And you are quite right tor, but in this case there is no infringement of the act, for by the evidence of the officer there were only two or three persons talking together. Alderman Hale—This system of betting in the public streets is becoming an intolerable nuisance ; but as the policeman did not see you in the act of betting I shall discharge you prisoner ; but bear in mind, that Bride-lane is not to be made a place of public resort for such persons. Alderman Copeland—[ am here by accident only, and if you, sir, will direct the attention of the polic3 to dapel-court, where thousands of barrels of tallow are passed from hand to hand without one farthing being paid, they will find there plenty of stags to give them occupation. I like to see justice meted out to every one alike. The transactions in Capel court• are as much gambling as betting in the streets ; and should not he allowed to escape while another class is prosecuted. The police might see me talking to a friend, and take me up and find a betting-book in my possession ; but that would be no offence, and would not justify them in taking me into custody. Alderman Hale—There is no doubt that a great amount of evil arises from this betting sy.tem ; for it often induces young men to speculate, and when they lose their own money they embezzle that of their employers, and I am resolved as long as I. oc cupy a seat on this bench, I will uphold the law for suppressing such baneful practices to the fullest extent of my power. The prisoner was then discharged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —BIGAMY. --John Gardner, envelope manufacturer, Queen-street, Golden-square, was brought befora Mr. Bingham, charged with bigamy. Mr. E. Lewis, for the proscution, said in this case he must ask for a remand, ar; the principal evidence was at Bath. Mr. Bingham must have some prima facie fa molly before be could consent to a remand. Inspector Park said the defendant admitted he had another wife, from whom he had been separated some years, and made an allowance for her support. Mr. Bingham would agree to a remand, but must require the defendant to produce two good bail, of 501. each, and to enter into his own recognisance in 00/. ROBBERY BY A FOREIGNER.—Jean Tristan, an elderly foreigner, was charged with stealing a gold chain from the shop of Messrs. Warwick and Co., golf smiths and jewellers, 1.24, Regent-street. Mr. Warwick said the prisoner came into his shop on the 10th inst., and presented a paper con taining a list of jewellery and watches, which he intimated he wanted to purchase. Several articles were shown to the prisoner, and after looking at them the prisoner left the shop, saying he would return and select a watch at four o'clock. Witness having his suspicions followed the prisoner, and seeing him enter the shop of a refiner in King street, Soho, he went into the shop and ascertained that he had offered a gold chain value 71. to Mr. Welby, the owner of the shop, for sale. Witness on looking at the chain discovered that it had been stolen from his shop. The prisoner was fully committed. LAMBETH. —THE CHARGE BY FATHER AGAINST SON. —Charles Andrews surrendered to answer the charge preferred against him by his father, Mr. E. Andrews, of Park-street, Camberwell, of stealing an Atlas and a pair of scales and weights. A solicitor appeared on behalf of the father to support the charge, and another professional man was in attendance on the part of the accused. At the instance of the former the police-constable was recalled, and, in answer to questions put to him, stated that when he took the prisoner into custody he was smoking a cigar, and on being searched, a half-crown was found upon him. Mr. Elliott remarked that the case had been re manded in order that it might be shown, if such was the fact, that the statement made by the pri soner, that he had taken articles by the authority of his mother, was correct. If the mother was in attendance she ought at once to be called. Mra.ElizsbethAndrews, a careworn-looking lady, entered the witness-box, and having been sworn, stated in answer to the magistrate that the prisoner was her son. It was with her consent that he hid t ikon the property in question, for at the time the family was without food, or indeed anything to eit. In cross-examination, the witness stated that by her husband's directions she had locked the door of t'leir house to keep the prisoner out. Her husband had stated that he would put her into the work house, but bad never offered to allow her anything for her support. They had not lived comfortably fur some time. It was true they had a house to live in, but her husband did not provide the family with fool to eat. The consequence was that she had frequently sent one or other of the family to pledge some article to procure proper food, having fre quently been left with nothing but bread in the house. This was known to her husband, for she had presented the pawn ticke's to him. Tho wit ness repeated that the articles charged to have been stolen, had been taken by the prisoner with her consent and by her authority. Mr. Elliott remarked it was unnecessary to pro ceed further. The son had clearly acted on the authority of his mother, and therefore no charge of f,lory citild be sustained. The prisoner would be immediately discharged. DEPARTURE OF MR. CHISMOLM ANSTET FROM HONG KONG. - Mr. T. Cnialyln Anstey, our A ttorney• Gencral, af.er having been hero seventeen month*, has obtained his second leave -of absence, in this instance for four months we underetarad, and having soli off all Lis fur niture and given up his house, he left for Calcutta in the Lancefield. Mr. Henry Kingiunill, the youngest mem ber of the bar, succeeds as Acting Attorney-General. It i the general impression that Mr. Anstey &es not intend to return here, but to settle in India. Latterly Mr. Anstey bad become a considerable favourite with many people at one time much opposed to him, and even we had begun to feel some respect for him for hid bold oppo sition to Sir John Bowring and his toadies. His fatal quarrel with the Chief Justice, however, rendered .his final departure from the island at no distant date inik rat.ve.—ilonu ,Sony Chwhoti Register, COURT OP COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a meeting of the members of the Court of Common Council was held at the Guildhall. The Right lion, the Lord Mayor took the cLair. THE METROPOLITAN CATTLE-MARKET ACT. This act Was ordered to be referred to the Markets Improvement Committee, Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said he thought it would be very gratifying to the members to know that in the amended act there were considerable advantages. He would briefly state that formerly they had not the power to let the property at the New Cattle-market in Copenhagen fit lds fcr a longer term than than one year. Under the amended act they could let the slaughter-houses for 7 years, and the land for 21 years. Moreover they had obtained considerable privileges in an extension of the tolls, by which they would be able to realise something like an increase of 2,500/. a-year. Then they had ano ther important privilege, or boon as he might call it. They could now let the contiguous land for 80 years for building purposes, and still hold the reversion of the property, as they did not intend to part with the free hold, but to keep that for the benefit of the citizens and the enlargement of the market, if at:any future time such a step might be deemed necessary. THE SUFFERERS IN INDIA. Mr. 'Rome then moved as follows :—" That this Court regarding with strong feelings of abborrenee the savage cruelties inflicted upon our fellow -countrymen, women, and children, by the native troops of the Bengal army, and deeply sympathising with the helpless sufferers now 'educed to a state of utter destitution, is most desirous of aiding the efforts for promptly relieving their neces sities, and directs the Chamberlain to contribute the sum of 5001. in aid of the fund now being raised in thiscountry for that purpose."
