LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 2. EQUITY COURTS. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) TICE GREAT NORTHERN PREFERENCE SHARES. The Lord Chancellor said that during the vaca tion an application had been made to him to hear a case of `• Henry v. the Great Northern Railway Company," involving a question relative to the preference shares of ttie company, but ho did not think the case was one which required such an un usual proceeding ; it was not a pressing motion, but simply an appeal from a regular decree. He bad, however, promised to take the case early in the present term, and he had fixed Wednesday next, but he found that day would not be conve nient to the Lords Justices, who would sit with him, and therefore he would fix the hearing for this day week (Monday naxt). sn&Psos V. CAItTER—CREMORNE GARDENS. Mr. D. Keane maid he applied, with the permis sion of Mr. Jus'Ace Crompton, for a rule calling upon the plaintiff in this case to show cause why the defendant should not have liberty to put to him certain interrogatories. The action was for slander alleged to have been uttered by the defend ant at a meeting of the vestry for Chelsea. The plaintiff complained of a speech made by th 9 de fendant, in which the defendant in substance stated that the amusements carried en at a place of public resort known as Cremorne-gardens were of an im moral and licentious character, and tended to the corruption of youth. The alleged slander also con tained a statement in these words, as to which some difference arose "I am informed that there are evil places there for persons of the other sex, from the lowest prostitute upwards." Leave had been obtained from Mr. Justice Crompton to plead not guilty, and also to justify the slander, and the de fendant now asked leave to propound certain inter rogatories to the plaintiff. On the part of the plaintiff the objection was taken, that these inter rogatories, or the answers to tkem, would have a tendency to criminate the plaintiff, and his lordship thought theobjec tion might perhaps be well founded and referred the matter to this court. Lord Campbell said there could be no doubt that the answers might bring out matter which would criminate the party ; but the qiiestion was, whether the plaintiff could object to answer the interroga tories. Mr. Keane said there was an authorityto show that the party must on his oath object to the questions himself, and that the obj-ction comild not ba taken by another party in his behalf. In " Osborne v. London Dock Company," the Court of Exchequer held that it was for the client himself to make the objection. Lord Campbell—ln examining the witness viva voce there could be no objection to putting the qiestions ; the objection would be to his giving answers to them. Mr. Justice Erle—Ts there no affidavit from the plaintiff himself, stating that he objeats to giving answers ? Mr. Keane—No ; the plaintiff personally made no objection to the questions ; but the objection. was taken by his attorney before Mr. Justice Cromp ton at chambers. Lord Campbell—lt seems quite clear that this is not the stage for making the objection. I think the plaintiff ought to have an opportunity of denying the whole allegations. Take a rule. Rule granted. APPLICATION TO STRIKE AN ATTORNEY OFF THE ROLLS. Mr. Garth said he was instructed by the Incor porated Law Society to move for a rule calling upon a person of the name of John Shattock, an attorney of this court, to show cause why he should not be struck off the rolls for misconduct. Shattock was convicted of forgery at the last Liverpool Assizes, and was now undergoing the punishment of three years' penal servitude. Rule granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings in Baoco.—Befor e Chief Justice Cockburn, and Justices WilliP.ms,6o;der; and Willea.) The judges of this court took their seat upon the bench at 2 o'clock., and at once proceeded to hear motions. THE GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY V. BOLT. —. ItESSRS. MARE'S BANKRUPTCY. Mr. Sergeant Byles said this cage had been tried before Ur. Justice Wiles in London, when a ver dict was entered for the defendants, subject to cer tain questions of law reserved for the consideration of the fall court. The present motion was to enter a verdict thr the plaintiffs. It appeared that Me:sv. Mare had by deed contracted to build a vessel for the plaintiffs for 14,1201., and to deliver her com pleted by thal,3th September then next, and if she Was not so delivered then that they should forfeit 104. a dai-fOr the extra time taken. The detentiant, Rolt, became surety for Messrs. Mare perfora►- ing the contract. Before the vessel was comp eted Mears. Mare became bankrupt, and the plaintiffs were put to some expense in completing the vessel. They now claimed to recover this expense from Mr. Roit as surety, and also a further sum in con sequence of the vessel not having been completed is time. In answer, Mr. Rolt pleaded that it was part of the contract that the plaintiffs should pay the price of the vessel by four instalments, the third .of which was to be paid when the vessel was launched and the fourth when she was completed, And that the plaintiffs had paid the whole of the third and part of the fourth instalments e:ore they became due. This, it was contended, bad dis- charged the surety, inasmuch as if the plaintiff had not paid the money before it was due they might out of that sum 'nave reimbursed themselves for any loss which they had sustained. The learned sergeant now stated tha,i, though the third instalment had in fact been pai.4),e before no vessel was launehe I, yet at the timeof payment she was quits fit, width-, launch ing had on 'y been postponel for the convenience of Messrs. Mare. He also argued from various facts that the part, of the fourth instalu.ent had been paid with th,e sanction, if not at the request, of Mr. Rolt, and submitted that therefore he could not now take advantage of that fact. The court granted a rule nisi to enter a verdict for the plaintiff, or, in the alternative, for a new trial, or judgment non obstante veredicta. RE WILLIAM COBBETT.-ANOTHER MOTION FOR A HABEAS CORPUS Mrs. Cobbett applied for a writ of habeas corpus to bring her husband into court with a view to his discharge from the custody of the keeper of the Queen's Prison, and iu doing so, made a long state ment, some parts of which excited it good deal of merriment. She said that her lu sband ha t been arrested three time.; for the same debt. The ca-le had never been heard iu any court, though s ie has bad a sitaimoos before Sir F. Pollock, and she should not have had to trouble their lerdsitips if she could have go , . justice from him. Tee grounds of her motion were that the action had been carried on without introducing some necessary documents ; that the coats had been paid, no matter by whom ; and that Mr. Cobbett had been discharged. The counsel who had at tended against her before Sir F. Pollock had practised gross deceit, and she had gone to the Lord Mayor, in order to obtain a summons against him. She now complained of the fraud of that learned counsel, who had got into Sir F. Pollock's room whilst she was outside, and prejudiced him against her. She had obtained a habeas to remove Mr. Cobbett from Horsemonger-lane Gaol to the Queen's Prison, but they had taken him back to Horsemonger-lane, which they bad no authority to do. It was only on the third habeas that Mr. Cobbett had been removed to the .Queen's Prison. There were two writs of habeas corpus, the Queen's writ and the judge's writ, but what she had obtained was the Queen's writ, to remove Mr. Cobbett, and that writ, she submitted, ought to have been obeyed. She had taken the writ to the sheriff, and had paid him 11. 3s, and after th tit the sheriff had no power to take Mr. Cobbett back to Horsemonger-lane. In he ease of "Oldtield v. Cobbett," her husband had been detained iu prison for 12 years, and had been at length discharged by the greatest authority in this land, after having been repeatedly reprimaeded and sent back. She complained teat she was pre judiced by the frequent applications which she had made for writs of habeas. _ The Chi e f J us ti ce sa id h e un d ers t o od this case had been fully gone into in the Court of Queen's Bench. Mrs. Cobbett—No, not gone into. Mr. Stur geon, one of her counsel, attended to argue the point of p r i v il ege, and Mr. Gibbins, he t ; other a counsel, to argu e t h e point .th Mr. ebnett had been out of custody, but the court was about to rise, and the judge said only one heard, and so only the point of pnTlielsgeeisshhaodulbdebene argued. Mr. Justice Crowder said that on the point f privilege he had re f u sed the writ, and afterward s an application was made to the Queen's Bench, when that court decided that he was right. As to the other point he di 1 not know what that was. Mrs. Cobbe t— That he had been Out of Custody, Mr. J ustice Crowder continued—He had made the usual order that Mr. Cobbett should go to the . Queen's Prison, and presently afterwards was i n . formed that be would not pay the usual fee. Upon that he ordered that be should only be taken to the Queen's Prison upon paying the fee which the act ( f Parliament required. Mrs. Cobbett—There were, she might say, mil lions, but at a ll even t s thousands of cases in her favour. She ha I been advised that Mr. Cobbett had aright to go to the Queen's Prison. As to fees, she had paid 501. f ,r fees for habeases, and the offi cers had extorted 201. from her. A judge had after wards decided that no fees were due upon a pri- Noner's habeas ; but officers took as much as they could get. She should like to go into the question of fees, for it was a system of downright robbery altogether. She denied that she had not paid any fee. She had paid 7/., and that was o,notigh. But if any fee was due, there was a ny of enforcing its payment. tensive hotel*. (LaUghtie.) fie t - the prisoner) had been sent over folk the purpose of purchasing fur ni4iing ironmongery. When I asked him for Union 13.?.dk o f T .Jon 4 .o n Zi tk il t i e S t o re ferences, he said fi n d - p ower t o &w ail , upon the Between 6,000 i. and 1l A 00.. L prisoner then told me tO copy the okaer I had given him, and said thg I could have a cheque fcr 'dri the Union Bank the next day. When I told him that I could not let him haVe the samples without he paid for them, the prisoner s dd, " Oh, we never pay for samples. I have the samples sent to my house, and then I send them out." The prisoner, after some further re marks, went away, and I did not see him until the next day, when he said he had been to tha bank, and could not see the manager. The same day I communicated with the police. other things had been taken from the rOdiii, In formation was given to the police, and Parsons, 182 D, after a long search, found the prisoner oc eupy!ng the situation of governess at Rosedale Lodge, t school at Richmond. Her boxes were searched, and some of the missing articlos found in then. The prisoner was committed for trial. Mr. Broughton highly commended the conduct of Parsons. The Chief Justice suggeste 1 that if th e atn e ta - vit could be amended as to that a sr,rit might be granted. Mrs. Cobbett then moved to Ket aside a judgment in an action to which her husband was a party, The Chief Justice, when she had concluded, said he could gee no ground for setting aside the judg ment, which had been regularly obtained. Mrs. Cobbett—l n th e ot h er case you will let me amend ? OUR INDIAN POLICY. (From the Timex,} We have repeatedly asserted both the policy and feasibility of maintaining in India such a force of British troops as would at any time be competent to overpower, and consequently at all times to overawe, any native levies, whatever might be their description or character. This we believe to be the fundamental principle of sound Indian administration. That the system would be practicable enough can surely not admit of a doubt in the face of the scenes before our eyes. If a weak contingent of less :has 20,000 men, aided only by about half as many more collected from various quarters, could hold their own against an organised body of 100,000 armed rebels—men picked for their military aptitudes, equipped with excellent weapons, and drilled by •urselves—if a garrison of 500 or 600 Europeans can maintain themselves for months together against all the insurrectionary fury of one of the chief provinces of Hindostan, 40 w is it possibly to be affirmed that we cannot keep in India a force sufficient for its protection and control, when there will be no such Sepoy army to oppose us 3 We have resisted the worst conceivable expression of Indian revolt with an unusually weak army. We have but to strengthen that army on the one hand, and demolish the chances of revolt—i.e., suppress the Sepoy battalions, on the other, and. our rule will be secure. Such a system, however, would require consi derable modifications in many departments of In dian administration, and especially in the regula tions touching military service in those parts. If the European force in India is to be materially in creased, it must be upon conditions more favour able to those employed than have hitherto pre vailed. It is not probable that the necessary changes, if well undertaken, would involve any serious difficulty, for the tendency of things has been for many years in the directior‘ to which we refer. Sixty or seventy years since service in India was almost equivalent to expatriation for life. The voyage was so long and so costly as to be accepted only once and for all : Indian habits were so peculiar as to unfit men for a return to European society, and Englishmen adopted permanently a species of Asiatic character with an Eastern abode. Furlough regulations were, perhaps, necessarily rigorous, and nothing was so difficult as to revisit England. Australia, the Cape, any place almost, might be selected for a change at a less cost than home, so that in the end military service in those parts came to be regarded as something altogether different from soldiering in general. A man would go with his regiment to ether coutries in the natu raleecoursenmaerlembarking innge o wi f np t a h r i on n! pw s e , c tsbufotr profession,gl i o f e i going u t c r io t Ina ak i d n i g w u p a s w i l i k t h e Experience has now shown us that there is no real ground for any of these distinctions. Service in India ought to be as agreeable as service anywhere else—indeed, more so than on many stations. It is only at particular spots and seasons that the heat is excessive ; there need be no confinement or mono tony, and we have recently learnt by unexception able proof that the climate, even in the greatest heats of summer, admits of laborious campaigning without much prejudice to health. We have pro bably been over-apprehensive in that respect, and thrown away our pains. It was stated in letters from the Camp before Delhi that the men were not only none the worse, but visibly and strikingly the better, for the exertions they had undergone ; and the percentage of sickness, after all their marches and bivouacs, was considerably less than it used to be in summer cantonments. Ner must it be for gotten that in future railroads will enable long marches to be in a degree dispensed with, will facilitate change of quarters, and gite easy ac cess to healthy stations. Add to this that the soldier is now better cared for as regards the adaptation of his accoutrements to his duties and that all conditions conducive to his robustness and efficiency are more scrupulously observed than formerly. The precautions of our awthorities would suffice against anything but an irrosistible climate, and a climate can hardly be ir resistible where one groat complaint df the service is that officers grow too old in it to be fit for work. But there is one special consideration most im peratively suggestive of reform in the system of which we speak. If Englishmen are kept too long iu India not only does the efficiency of the force suffer, but the individual character becomes im • paired. A race which governs by virtue of its in herent superiority cannot be too tenacious of its attributes. Englishmen in India should be purely Englishmen, not Anglo-Indians. They should re tain all their national qualities, not merely half of them, and it is manifest that this is not likely to happen when England and India are brought most effectually into communication with each other. The old fable of Antaeus fits the case exactly. Our countrymen should return as often as possible to their country, and gather fresh vigour and na tionality from the contact. As soon as the character begins to yield the influences of life, life in Eng land should restore its tone. A very celebrated Indian officer, Colonel John Jacob, appreciated so keenly the desirability of this revivifying process that he advocated the establishment of a " Sabba tical year"—i. e., the assignment of one year out of seven to the work of reinvigoration. his opinion was, that by such an observance the British officer would be enabled to retain unimpaired and in full activity those peculiar qualities to which Hindoo and Mussulman paid the involuntary homage of po litical submission, and which must always and ne cessarily lie at the foundation of our rule in India. We have said that things have recently been tending in this direction, and it would be easy to multiply illustrations of our remark. Service its the East, even now; is not so protracted as formerly ; transport is far more rapid, communication is infinitely easier. This, however, is not all. A variety of other circumstances has been com bining to bring the two countries together. Indian affairs have been discussed in the press with far greater ability and in Parliament with con siderably greater interest than of old—in fact, we have now examples of statesmen who have actually seen India without having been in the Company's employ. A Ear)rt time, we may trust, will enable us to establish telegraphic communication with our Indian empire, and when that is accomplished, and the overland route made more generally available, there will really be no reason why service in India should not be thought just as acceptable and iltst as much a matter of routine as service in Canada or Gibraltar. How, indeed, can a country to which we have just dispatched 30,000 men in the course of three months be regarded as beyond the sphere of ordinary military duties ? It would be very desirable also that the visits of Hindoos to this country, of which we have already had several examples, should be multiplied as much as possible. One would think that when a Brah min finds himse;f entirely free from religious solici tation, though alone among 30,060,000 Christians, he will cease to believe in our anxiety to destroy his caste in his own land—not to mention that the unmistakeable tone of public opinion greatly con duce to his tranquillity. A Hindoo in England would learn that even among the most ardent pro pagators of the Gospel there did not and never would exist the slightest desire to extend Chris tianity by compulsion ; he would hear nothing but wise and ben e vol en t w i s h es expressed with r es p ect to • the de s ti n i es o f hi s coun trymen/ and could scarcely fail of b e i ng co n v inced that he had nothin g to fear, thou g h muc h t o h o pe, from British domi nion. Thi s , however, would probably be a work of time, but we see nothing that need stand in the way of a prompt and constant communication be tween Englishmen in India and their native land. All furlough regulations should be revised, with the object of stimulating intercourse with England —ia A impeding it. Othcers serving in India should be no more divested of their national characteristics than officers serving elsewhere. Nor should they in any greater degree regard themselves as detached from their country. S er vice in India might easily be rendered popular when it was found to entail no disabilities, and to be productive son Bengal f no estrange a - dominant force o f E uro peans, if those Europeans by meas.

A. good soldier is a soldier everywhere, in one place a s well another ; in fact, we have just committed the p acification of India to an army which is touchi n g its shores for the first time ; nor is there any pro b a bilit y that a regiment arriving there at this m oment would be less efficient than one which may have been there these ten years. What is required in our officers is not Indian experience, but British character, and that is most likely to be sus tained by uninter nally conferred it. rupted intercourse with the land which has origi- The Chief Justice—ln the other case all I can say is that the affidavit as at present framed does not show any ground for iaterfereace. Mrs. Cobbett—Then I will apply to your lord ships again to-morrow. (Laughter.) Mr. Frost, jun., oilman and colourman, of 22, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, said—At the latter end of September or the beginning of October, the prisoner called upon me, and stating that he was a partner in a large firm in Brazil, ordered a quan tity of goods amounting in the aggregate to 4,3411. 6s. Amongst the items selected was soap of various descriptions to the extent of 1,0001. ; pickles in bottles, 4001. ; painters' brushes, 3601. ; and numerous other articles, making up the above total. He also told me that if he could be allowed to take aw,iy two bottles of pickles, he could get me an order from a gentleman who was buying largely for the purpose of taking them to Constan tinople. He directed me to send a copy of the in voice to the Brazils, and by the next mail it was sent out. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. NEW QUEEN'S COUNSEL. Mr. Wordsworth, Mr. Huddleaton, Mr. Skinner, Mr. Lock, Mr. Lush, Mr. Manisty, and Mr. Monck were called within the bar. Mr. Sergeant Pigott and Mr. Forsyth having re ceived patents of precedence, were also called to take their seats accordingly. CHILLING V. ACCIDENTAL DEATH INSURANCE COMPANY. Mr. Sergeant Shee moved for a rule for a new trial on behalf of the defendants iu this action, which was tried at Maidstone at the last assizes for the county of Kent, and terminated in a ver dict for the plaintiff. It was stated by the learned sergeant, that the plaintiff, Thomas Chilling, had insured in the Accidental Company the life of his father, an old man of 77 years, formerly a journey man shoemaker and the receipient of parochial re lief for 2,0001., in the month of June, 1855 ; that in the same month his father made a will in favour of the plaintiff • that on the 11th of July the plaintiff left his father in a chaise, near some stone works near Maidstone, at a spot bordered on one side by the river Medway and on the other by the railway, and that the next day the pony and the old man were taken from the river drowned. The Chief Baron acquiesced in the assertion of council that he had not felt satisfied with the ver dict, and granted a rule to show cause. PRICE V. BIRRAIL. Mr. Hillward, on the part of the defendant, moved (by leave) for a new trial in the action tried by the Lord Chief Baron at Middlesex sittings, on the 15th of June last, on the ground of misdirec tion. The question was a very narrow one— whether the Chief Baron was right in directing that there was evidence of payment of money when a witness stated he had sent money, but did not produce the letter or cheque. Rule nisi granted. Tne Court, having gone through the bar, rose at 10 minutes past three o'clock. Sergeant Hill, 39 S, said he took the prisoner into custody, and said he was one of the gang that was sent from this court, and, being tried at the Old Bailey, was sentenced to a lengthened term of imprisonment for obtaining money under false pre tences: He had been to the Union Bank, and found that no one of the name of Martin, of the Brazils, had an account there. When he searched the prisoner's residence, be found his wife and children in a most deplorable state ; the room had little or no furniture in it, and the children were almost naked. The wife told him that the prisoner had done no work for the last five years. Since that period he had been abroad for about ten months, and since his return he had pawned all that he had got to support his family. The land lady also stated that Numerous persons called every d9.y, some respectably attired, and others in the garb of working men, who complained of. the pri soner having duped them under various pretences. Understanding that there were other cases, he trusted that his worship would grant him a remand for the purpose of making further inquiries. Mr. Corrie said he would grant a remand until Monday next. The prisoner asked to be admitted to bail. Mr. borrie said that as the prisoner represented himself as the owner of so large a number of slaves, he shoull require him to put in heavy bail, which ke had no doubt he could do. (Laughter.) After some further remarks, the worthy magistrate said he would accept bail—viz., two sureties in the sum of 101. each. The prisoner was then removed. WORSHIP-STREET.—Charles Brairey, 21, was charged with stealing the property of his em ployer, David Chalcroft, a grocer, 97, Bethnal green-road. From the testimony of the prosecutor it appeared that the accused had been in his service as a porter nine weeks, during the latter portion of which time his conduct, in pursuance of his duties, occasioned suspicion of dishonesty, but nothing could be proved until Saturday evening, when some one apparently belonging to his family calling for his linen to wash, witness was struck by the appearance of the bundle, on opening which a quantity of tea and sugar was discovered therein. A constable was called, who took him into custody, but there was not any wish now to press the matter against him. The prisoner, whose appearance and bearing indicted a rather superior position in life than that described, wept abundantly during the evidence against him, and when called upon for an answer to the charge, sobbed out, "I am guilty, sir ; but may I never leave this bar if I ever committed a dishonest act before. lam deeply ashamed and sorry, and will sin no more. My position is very different to what it has been." THE SUN, LO.NRON'i TiItSDAY _tVgNiNG NOVEMBER 3, 1857 POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 2. MANS lON- HOUSE. • Charles Tubbs was charged before Sir R. W. Carden, on suspicion, with stealing 13 electro-plated forks, 1 plated pickle fork, 1 fish slice, 2 gravy spoons, 1 soup ladle, 10 dessert spoons, 10 tea spoons, and a fruit knife. Eno, police constable 94, found him in the street, with the articles in his possession, and took him into custody on account of his not being able to give a satisfactory account of them. They were marked ` 4 8." He was remanded for inquiry. GIIILDHALL.—James Bennett was placed at the bar, before Alderman Humphery, charged with the following robbery. Policeman 169 said he met the prisoner on Satur day evening in Staining-lane, with a basket of carpenters' tools in his possession. He stopped him ; and in answer to witness's interrogatories, he said he had brought the tools from Poplar, and was then going home to the Borough-market. Not satisfied with this account, he took him into custody. Five carpenters who had been at work upon a job in Staining-lane, identified the whole of the tocis as their property, having left them in the building after they fin , shed their day's work, from which the prisoner had taken them. The prisoner was drunk at the time. Alderman Humphery said it was a most heart less robbery. These poor men, had they lost their tools, would have been deprived of the means of getting a living. He therefore committed the prisoner to the House of Correction at Holloway for two months, with hard labour. BOW-STRET.—Williatn Coolie, a soldier in the first battalion of Grenadier Guards, bearing an excellent character, and described by his sergeant as a very quiet man and a good soldier," was charged by James Humby atid Thomas Price, decent working men, with assaults upon them and upon several women and children. f . Humby stated that at about a quarter past 12 on Saturday night he was passing through Trafalgar ' square, when he saw the prisoner beating some boys with his belt, and kicking them in the most violent manner. It was the ordinary regimental belt, with a heavy brass buckle, with which a very severe blow can be inflicted. Witness remonstrated with the prisoner, who then turned round upon him and struck him in the same way with the buckle end of the strap. Witness fell, and the prisoner not only kicked him as he lay, but seized upon his hand and bit one of his fingers so severely as almost to separate it from the hand. A gentleman who was passing that way with a lady, relinquished her arm fur a moment in order to coins to witness's assist ance, when the prisoner turned upon the lady and beat her severely with the same formidable weapon. She screamed and fainted. Mr. Burnaby (the chief clerk)—Was there no policeman there all this time 7 - Witness—Tne police were not on the spot till two or three minutes after. Price stated that he was passing that way about ten minutes beforco the last witi:ess arrived. Pri soner was beating some boys with his belt. Several other persons besides witness interfered, bat pri soner, and another soldier who was wiVi him, kept the people at bay with their belts. There were several women there, and the prisoner struck one of them with his belt. When Humby came up and interfered the prisoner knocked him down, and bit his finger. There was no policeman there for ten minutes after the disturbance commenced. Toe Sergeant (A 2) said there were always one or two cons , ablts on duty at the Column. Mr. Jardine (to the witness) —Was there no policeman at the Column ? Price—No, sir, nor anywhere in sight. Mr. Burnaby—But there must have been. Price—There was not ; and when the policeman did appear, he came from the Column, but not from Northumberland House. The prisoner—One gentleman says three minutes and the other says ten. Price—l wa; there ten minutes before Mr. Humby, and there was no policeman all the while. Policeman Foster, 593 A, said he was on duty by the Column. He had been there all the while, but had been on the opposite side of the Column from where the disturbance took place. When he saw the mob he went to the spot, where he arrived in about three minutes. Did not see the prisoner strike any one " not in particular." Saw him swinging his belt, and took him into custody. The other soldier ran away. Did not see the woman swoon, or hear her say she had been struck. Another constable pursued the second soldier, and afterwards brought him to the station-house, but as there was no definite charge against him, he was liberated. The priioner said he found the boys annoying a gentleman and told them not to do so, on which 'he boys began to pick up atones to throw at him. He struck one of the boys, and then Humby at tacked him. He did not use his belt, or strike any one, or bite the complainant. Mr. Jardine would tAke it in the prisoner's fa vour that the boys did not appear. He had pro b Ably received some provocation from them. Still, according to the witnesses, he had used a great deal of unnecessary violence in kicking there. Then, when Humby remonstrated with him on this unne cessary violence, prisoner did what he (Mr. Jardine) would never look over ;he used his teeth. For that uu-English act he must be imprisoned 14 days. CLERKENWELL.—Joseph Martin, describing himself as a railway eJntracior, aged 45, a mise rably attired person, residing at 45, Little Drum mond-streat, Euston-square, was charged with obtaining several articles of ironmongery from Mr. William Fowler, an ironmonger, residing at 38, Skinner-street, Somers-town, uuder false pretences, and also with having attempted to defraud nume rous trad esmen o f goo d s to t h e amoun t o f several thousands of p ,, unds.

The prisoner was removed to the cells, still in tears. WESTMINSTER. Mrs. Elizabeth Campbell, a widow lady, residing at Bloomfield-cottage, Woodford, Essex, and Eliza beth Woolfe, described as a servant out of place, were charged with stealing a porte-monnaie, con taining two 101. notes, three 51. notes, some gold, silver, and some postage stamps, from the person of Miss Anne Ramsay, 15, Sloane-terrace, Chelsea. On the matter being called on, a solicitor stated that the circumstances of the case were of a most peculiar nature, and he would have spared the ac cused being placed in the dock, but that it had been insisted upon in the ordinary course of business. He said he appeared on behalf of the prosecutrix, a lady who had been on Saturday to the City to re ceive her income, and returning with it in an omni bus, lost it in some very extraordinary way. On her way home she took out her porte-monnaie for a shilling, and on arriving at the end of her journey a short time afterwards, her money was gone. The prisoners were the only persons in the omnibus, and as no policeman could be obtained, th• driver of the omnibus took them to the station in the carriage. They were there searched, but nothing was found. Acting under the influence and excitement of the moment she had charged the accused with the rob bery, believing them to be the perpetrators of it, but when she had ascertained the respectability of the parties she had accused, she used every means in her power to effect their release, and would with draw the charges. A. solicitor on the part of Mrs. Campbell, objected to the withdrawal of the case, and courted the fullest inquiry. He had been Mrs. Campbell's pro • fessional adviser for upwards of 25 years. She was a lady of very considerable property and of the highest respectability, and felt acutely at her ad vauced period of life the injury and indignity that been inflicted upon her. He insisted on tue charge being proceeded with, as he wished the grounds to be shown upon which the lady, who was his client, had been given into custody. It had been most serious in its consequences to her, and amongst other unpleasantnesses to which she had been sub jected was that of being stripped and searched. She was sitting at the further end of the omnibus from the lady who lost her money. She was never near her, and there was no pretence for saying she had the least opportunity of taking the money. Mr. Paynter said that the case was one of the most unfortunate for all parties. Had he know❑ the peculiar circumstances of the case the accused should not have been placed in the dock. He could not insist upon the charge being proceeded with when it had been withdrawn. The matter arising out of it must be disposed of elsewhere, as it was not within his jurisdiction. The accused were then discharged. MARYLEBONE. —Robert Watts, a respectable looking youth, aged 17, was charged with having stolen a piece of ribbon, value 10s., the property of Messrs. Spencer and Co., drapers and haberdashers, Lisson-grove. The firm having upon many occasions missed articles of different descriptions, one of the assist ants, named Hopes, was directed to keep a close watch in the millinery department ; he accordingly secreted himself therein on Saturday evening last, and, at eight o'clock, the prisoner and another brought home a lot of mantles, which had been ' made up by his (prisoner's) mother. They passed through the room alluded to to the cloak-room up stairs, where they left the goods ; and having come down the prisoner's companion went straight out, when the prisoner, after looking cautiously around and seeing no one near him, knocked off the lid of a box from which he took a piece of ribbon and put it in his pocket. He then quitted the shop followed by Hopes, who caught hold of him in the street, near the door ; the ribbon he contrived to drop down a trap door, beneath the window, where it was directly afterwards found. He was then given into the custody of Sergeant Norman, 12 D, to whom he denied that he had stolen anything. He now admitted to the magistrate that he was guilty, and was sent to hard labour in the House of Correction for three months. A young Frenchwoman, named Le Blanc, was charged with stealing watches, jewelltry, and gam articles. Elizabeth Horeford, lodge. keeper to South Villa, Regent's-park, stated th a t of Mr. Martin, a French protestant the reemn i endation she last September allo we d thei)r°test...nt clergyman , er h she ho use ef went e o n o ft charge. pr:sone lodge in r to h lin Friday, the 9th October, soner (who had ...0 shopping, leaving the p was going. ,+ ;-' , + previously told her that she ...so a situation as governess on the following \ Monday) in care of the house. - • On her return she found that the prisoner had left, and that her (witness's) bedroom door had been forced pe, • and a geld watch and chain, some ear -rings, and I SM ,GEORGE GREY AT MORPETE, `at/ of State for the -- residence at '4 a visit On Wednesday last Home Department, who ilas d ftqantr, Falloden, about 20 miles from Morpftb, to his constituents and took part in the pfoiceeflab b at a public mooting held at Bedlington, an outlying part of the b or Ough i to promote the rebuilding of a school, with 06 aid of a grant of money from the Government. The Hey. Charles Whiteley, the Vicar. who has generously given a site for the pro posed seminary, acted as chairteau l and the rant ing *ag a ttended by the principal inhabitants. Sir George Grey, in moving a resolution stating the inadequacy of the present school accommodation for an increasing population, and the expediency of augmenting it by a Government grant in aid of private subscriptions, took occasion to say he con sidered it the bounden duty of those who had pro perty in the district of political connections with it to assist in keeping up the means of education to the number and wants of the inhabitants. 'l he time had gone by when it was necessary to dilate on the advantages of education, or to point it out as a duty we owed to God and our neighbour. Unfor tunately, a division of opinion had long existed as to how education could be best promoted. Con tinental methods of education would never be poklu lar in England. We must put up with some in conveniences in return for the freedom we enjoyed. He was sure that if education were ever made compulsory in this country the law that made it so could not be carried out. It must b 3 voluntary, and conducted in such a manner as to receive the general concurrence of the people. The right course appeared now to be taken, by which money was placed by Parliament at the disposal of the Government to encourage voluntary efforts, and to help those who help themselves. The time when education was not appreciated had passed away. The temporal advantages alone o f a good education were undoubtell. It enabled . aa individual to rise in the world, and without education it was next to impossible for a man to improve his fortunes. He was reminded, it was true, of a man who w as an honour to Northumberland, the county in which they were then met—he meant George Stephenson, who, without having learnt to read when you Zig, had risen to a world-wide eminence as an engineetl- Those who adduced that as an example that educa tion was not absolutely necessary for a man's ad vancement should remember that few were endowed with Stephenson's genius, and that he himself gave alsignificant proof of how much he valued educa tion by giving, when he came to have the means, one of the best kind to his son, who was now a living instance of what genius and education could accomplish, and whose engineering achievements were now the wonder and admiration of all who were familiar with them. The intellect then must be cultivated, for truly knowledge was power. The resolution was seconded by Mr. Longridge, and carried unanimously, and a committee was ap pointed for carrying out the work. Sir G. Grey was afterwards to have dined with the Mayor of Morpeth (Mr. Hood) and some of the principal re sidents of the town at the Black Bull Inn, but the right hon. gentleman was unexpectedly summoned away by the receipt of a telegraphic message on a matter of urgency. •••••=m............... THE HEIRS TO TLIE PRUSSIAN THBONII (From the Morning Advertiser.) The heir-direct to the Prussian crown is the bro ther of the actual ruler, and known under the name of the Prince of Prussia. In years he is almost as far advanced as the King himself, the age of the two being respectively 62 and nearly 61. But as regards physical health and firmness of purpose, there is a striking difference between them, the Prince of Prussia being by far the more vigorous. In dispo sition, also, there could not well be a wider dissimi larity than that presented by Frederick William IV. and his brother William—the one leaning to artis tic, and even literary tastes, a lover of art, and friend of the choice spirits of the chisel and the pa lette, giving his despotism a Maecenas-like colour ing ; while the ideas and intelligence of the other have never soared beyond the confines of the bar rack-yard. However, apart from this difference and predilections, the political views of the two relatives are the same. The liberty of the people has found an equal enemy in both. Frederick William, in carry ing out his notions of " right divine," has chosen to adopt a mediaeval type, and has sought to pre sent himself before the world as a crowned St. George, doing battle with that terrible dragon, the revolutionary sentiment. The Prince of Prussia, en his part, has not taken the trouble to idealise his hatred to free institutions in such poetical garb. He does not care to don the romantic armour of the Templar, but contents himself with the more practieal uniform of a Russian General. Yet, though thus differently arrayed, the King and Prince as we have before said , still are in p erfect accord on the great point of trampling down the liberties of the people. Whether the one carry out this fell purpose with the " rods," and the other with the "scorpions," cau be of but little import to the victims themselves. There are some politicians, pinning their faith on the protestations of Crown Princes, who allege that the Prince of Prussia has become a convert to con stitutionalism ! The whole life of Prince Wiliam, however, speaks in language most unmistakeable against any such assumption ; for, if there is any oue being in Prussia more intensely Royalist than the King, . it is unquestionably the Prince of Prussia. No reactionary design was ever concocted in the Castle at Berlin, but in it the Crown-Prince took a leading part. No liberal movement was to be overthrown, but he urged the most violent measures against the defenders of free dom. When, in 1847, the King was forced by pub lic opinion to grant at least some shadow of consti tution the only person that refused to sw ear to it was the Prince of Prussia. It required a special order of the King, in his capacity as Commander in-Chief of the army, to overcome the Prince's stubborn resistance. In 1848, at the outbreak of the popular risin g , the Prince advised the adop tion of a sanguinary terrorism against the insurgents for liberty. To his evil council is it to be attri buted that Berlin was converted into a slaughter house. And had his opinions prevailed to the end, the Court would have withdrawn from the capital to the east of the kingdom, there to call in the aid of a Russian army ! These, we opine, are but sorry indications of " constitutional predilections." D ur ing his subsequent exi le in this country, cour tly intrigues at Berlin were to some extent h e ld in abeyance. B ut no sooner had he been a ll o wed to return tha n the coup d'etat of Nov., 1848, came closely on his heels. In the following yofeacro,mthmeanPdreitricoefotfhPerusarsmiay, nopomeriantaintegdaaitgotnh4et posttlie popular movemen in B aden, dislad in that aus pices acts of cruelt y were committed against r e e a c p e a n c i t t y timesa byferocity eed o s nl o y f th e e ci r l ep lp o e y d s ye . U in nd m er o h r i e s helpless prisoners which find fitting counterparts in the mo=t horrible scenes of the Indian mutiny. At his orders shooting, flogging, and torturing went on till the soil of south-western Germany was saturated with blood and tears, and Baden re sembled the Netherlands after the reaction of the Duke of Alba. Such were, but a few years ago, the " c onstitutional practices" of the Prince of Prussia. Since then he has continued playing the part of an evil spirit in the councils of the King, little as that arch-despot was in want of Macchiavallistio advice. In the Neufchatel question, to take a more recent example, it was again the Prince who urged, both in the Royal cabinet and in public, the immediate commencement of a war against Switzer land? Thus, on every great occasion, we behold him the leader of reaction. It requires an infatua tion bordering on imbecility to believe that an ab solutist character of this obduracy would at the age of 61, suddenly become a convert to the idea he has steadily striven during a long lifetime to root out with the edge of the sword and to drown in a sea of blood. As for the son of the Prince of Prussia, who would next mount the Throne after the demise or abdication of his father, there are but few public acts from which to draw an inference of his pro bable conduct. So much however is known, that those who had the forming of his mind, the pre cTtors of his early education, have not failed to impress him with the necessity of struggling against the " demon" of liberty. His tutors—man of the school of Haller and Stahl—have taught him to look to the Right divine of Kings as th e onl y p eli- Coal power having a legitimate existence. They have imbued him with the notion that the chief duty of a sovereign is to lead back the people to that patriarchal creed, and to spare no effort for erha restoring everywhere the principle of " true mo narchial government." It may be, pps, that on his accession the young Prince Frederick William would somewhat relax the iron gripe his father and uncle have placed upon the people. Yet in the main he would continue the old system, just as has been done in Austria by that " promising young Sove reign," Francis Joseph, whom an English courtier once pronounced "the hope of his country." Even as the hopeful Hapsburg Emperor continues—nay, sometimes even exceeds—the policy of his prede cessors by the oppression of nationalities and the pandering to Popish influences, so the young Prus sian Prince, too, would in allprobability continuethe present despotic system, though perchance under different colours. The fact is, the royal races of Ger many and the Cont inent in g eneral, have learqnutetsoo re- B ard the people ov er whom they rule as their natural D an enem ies. Whatever c han g es, ther e fo re , may occur in the personal go vernment of Prussia, the ti remains y, — s h , w e r o e t p o r f i o n r e e i , p loenseboe between which there c never be a compromise.

Bagshaw, a sea et the other member for the borough, has announced his in tention to solicit the suffrages of the electors, sad the bon, gentleman (who unsuccessfully contested the re• presentation of Great Yarmouth in 1848) has been prosecuting a canvass. Mr. Bagshaw receives, how ever, the support of only a portion of the Liberal party, as another section of the electors have put forward Mr. Andrew Arcedeokne,llate High Sheriff of Suffolk, and a gentleman of considerable landed estate in that county. Mr. Arcedeckne observes in his address:-- " My principles are told in a very few words, and al though I shall go to Parliament unshackled upon ti se broad question of voting, still I hesitate not to de. ciare my unflinching attachment to Liberal principles, f ,r freedom and enlightened progress, the extension of the franchise, so far as it may not endanger the founda tions of our glorious fabric ; and I am also against cen• tinning that odious impost upon the consciences of many —church-rates . . . . The promises of support are already so numerous and so flattering that to the poll I shall go upon the day of election, where, by ,a continuation of your support, I shall be duly regis tered ' A I.' " Mr. Arcedeckne appears to sustain in his address his reputation as a humourist. Mr. Tower, of Weald-ball, Breotwood, has also issued an address, is which he announces himself as a candidate on decidedly Liberal principles. There appears to be no ground for the premature statements published in some of the papers, that Mr. Greene, Mr. Prinsep, or Mr. Peacock, will again be put in nomination by the Conservative portion of the constituency. The hopes of the party ap pear to centre in Captain Jervis, a son-in-law of Mr. Chevalier Cobbold, M.P. for Ipswich. The day of no mination has not yet been fixed, and it seems probable that the election will not take place for some little time.

Rev. J. W. FLAVELL." " Bury, Lancashire; Aug. 17, 1851. Gentlemen,—For a considerable time I have suffered severely from a violent pain in my left side, extreme flatulency, accompanied by an intolerable sensation of heart burn, and other disagreeable symptoms of dyspepsia. Various remedies, alleged infallible, were tried in vain, and for a long time I was never twenty-four hours without violent pain; indeed I was unfit for the performance of my daily duties. I was induced to try your food. In less than an hour I found relief, and my recovery was very rapid. The duties which previously had been an intolerable burden became a delight ful exercise, and I have since accomplished more labour with less fatigue than I ever expected to be able to perform. I have never had a return of my complaint. —I remain, &c., D.Taolue."
