dr NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Lords of the Admiralty left the George Hotel yesterday morning after break fast in their barge, in waiting at the Sallyport stairs in charge of Lieutenant Mills ' of the Victory, and landed at the dockyard, the First Lord proceeding to hold his annual levee at the Royal Naval College, and the Hon. Captain Berkeley and Mr. Cowper proceeding to Spit bead to inspect the Amphion and Odin steam-frigates. The following officers had audiences of the lirst Lord : Rear-Admirals—Brown and Searle, C.H. Captains—Pasco, Aplin, Pritchard, Gambier, Carter, and Waldis. Commanders—Mitchell,Douglass, Sharpe, Prettyman, Seymour, Johnson, Fegen, Oakes , Foster, Virestbrook, Halbrook, Lye, Sadler, Scott, MiLeod, Wilcox, Jer ningham, Twiss, and Morrell.

Lovey, M.D. ; Saunders, M.D.; M‘Whinnie, Messrs.—Moreton and Hayward, R.N. Chaplain—Rev. Ross Lewin. F rom the levee the Earl of Auckland went to the King's stairs to receive the Prince Consort, and accom• pany him in his review of the Dock and Victualling yard Battalions, after which the Prince expressed to Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., the Superintendent of the Dockyard and Virtual Commaadant of the Bat talion, his warmest satisfaction at the eminently ser viceable state of this newly raised force. After the departure of the Prince, the Lords of the Admiralty proceeded to Rear Admiral Parker's to lun cheon, after which they inspected the interior of the Prince Regent, 120, cut down to a 92, on two decks, her hold, Sec., being illuminated for the inspection. She is ordered to be fitted for service on Captain Fanshawe Martin's plan. The weather became foul while their Lordships were inspecting this ship, so that they did not extend their inspection of the works in progress in the dockyard further, but left in flys for the George Hotel, whence the Earl of Auckland and Captain Henry Eden, his secretary, proceeded to Alverstoke to dine with Lord Ashburton, returning to the George to sleep. The Hon. Mr. Cowper, M.P., the Junior Lord of the Admiralty, proceeded by the South-Western Railway at the same time, to dine with Viscount Palmerston, at his seat at Broadlands ; the other members of the board, Rear-Admiral Prescott, Lord John Hay, Captain the Hon. M. F. F. Berkeley, and Mr. Woolley, together with Colonel Irvine, Royal Engineers, dined at the George, the latter gentleman proceeding afterwards to town. To-morrow the Board will inspect the whole of the fleet in ordinary and the dockyard, and give a banquet in the evening at the George, On Tuesday the Royal Marines and Coast Guard will be inspected, their Lord ships dining afterwards with Colonel Astell, the com mandant, and the officers of this division. On Wednes day their Lordships will be joined by the chief secretary, Mr. Ward, M.P., and proceed to the Channel Islands in the Fire Queen steam-vessel. Her Majesty having intimated to the . Grand Duke Constantine that an inspection of the Russian squadron then off Gravesend would afford her much pleasure, the Grand Duke commanded the squadron to appear at Spit head without delay, and yesterday it anchored in these waters. Her Majesty, with the Lords of the Admiralty, and the Grand Duke (who will return to this port ex pressly for the purpose on Tuesday) will inspect and review this squadron at Spithead on that day. The force consists of the Pallas, :52-gun frigate, Captain Moffet ; the corvette Olivuzza, 20, Captain Sakaroff ; the steam frigate Krabroi, 280 horse power, Captain Solootzoff, and a fine cutter tender to the frigate. The squadron is commanded by Rear-Admiral Count Heyden. The 52-gun frigate is a fine specimen of naval archi tecture as ever carried a pennant, and in magnificent trim. She is a similar class of vessel to the. President, but not so heavily armed, carrying only 94-pounders throughout. She is manned with 450 as fine fellows as any country can produce. The Urand Duke's apart ments, under the poop, are superbly yet chastely fitted up, somewhat in the style of the Victoria and Albert yacht. Vice-Admiral Liitke's apartments, on the main deck, are laid out with the most refined yet service-like, taste. 'The officers' quarters are also most complete, commodious, and healthy. The fighting quarters are ample, and, indeed, the entire trim of the ship the very example of a fine man of war. The corvette is also a remarkably handsome and healthy ship, mounting twenty 18-pounder;. She is in admirable order for ser vice. The steamer is a fine vessel of the Geyser class, and a very good sea boat. She towed the frigate and corvette together when last in the Baltic, at the rate of seven knots per hour—a feat no Symondian of her class could perform. She carries four 68-pounder long guns. The Grand Duke Constantine will take his departure in the frigate after the inspection by her Majesty and Prince Albert. The Wolf, 18, Commander Vansittart, arrived yester day morning at Spithead from the East India and China station to be paid off, having been nearly five years and a half in commission. She is in admirable condition, which is mainly attrilntable to her first lieutenant (Mr. Thomas Heard), a highly serviceable officer, who has served with Captain Sir E. Belcher in the Samara,ng. 6he sailed this day at about t P.M. for Plymouth to be paid off. She brings the latest news from the Cape of Good Hope, having left Simon's Bay on the 12th of June, at which date the predatory incursions of the Kafiri still continued, end Cape Town was nearly de serted. The Agincourt, 72, Captain Johnston, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir T. Cochrane, late Commander-in- Chief on the East India and China station, had arrived in the bay a few days before the Wolf sailed, and would leave two days after her for England to be paid off, touching at St. Helena and Ascension for mails, &e., having been relieved in China by the Vernon, 50, flag of Rear-Admiral Inglefield. The flag-ship President, 50, Rear-Admiral Dacres, Commander-in-Chief, and the Brilliant, 22, Captain Watson, were also in Simon's Bay when the Wolf left. The Rosamond steam-sloop wag at Table Bay: all well. The Dragon steam-frigate, Captain Hall, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the river; and it is said—but eve cannot credit it—that ehe is ready for sea, without having any defects to make good here. The Birkehead steam-frigate, Commander Ingram, left last evening for Dundrum Bay, with Mr. Bellamy, the Assistant-Master-Attendant of this Dockyard, and a party of riggers, to assist in the e ndeavour to extricate the Great Britain. Lieutenant Julius Roberts, R.M.A., has received in structions from the Admiralty to place himself in imme diate communication with the gun-carriage department at Woolwich, for the construction of the pivot gun carriages and slides for the service, on a very valuable and improved principle, discovered by him.

Workmen are now employed inditte north side of th e ing th e f oun d at i on n for the monument on the area at Custom House , immediately opposite the greatestofSouth Castle street,e Liverpool. A more appropriatete centre site e could not, ne of w e think, have been chose n, b eing in h commercial transactions, and onetheuor zaughfares in the town. The statue, we believe, is a me t a l cast of the ma rble one b y Gibson. T he position of the figure is well suited for an open-air monument, having all the lines boldly and well defined. The left hand of the statesman is resting on his right breast, which is left bare by the drapery thrown over the lett shoulder. The right hand is placed upon the right hip, the leg being thrown forward. The head of the figure is left bare. When completed, which, it is considered, it will be a f or night hence, it will be a pleasing addition to that portion of the Revenue- buildina-s, and will, doubtless, tend to th e re lief of that too dull ' and heavy structure. The figure, which is nine feet six inches high, will stand upon a base and pedestal, compo sed of granite, nine feet hi h. ' —Liverpool Mercury.

THE SUN, TERRIFIWCOREAPINLOLASMI3T.LITHO. F FIRE- . Saturday afternoon, shortly after one o'clock, an ex plosion of a fearful prope r t c y l character, r a a n c d t e it r i s , fatal with destruction conse quences to one of the workmen, occurred u p on the p r emises belonging to Mr. Darby, Pyrotechnic artist, Situate at No. 98, Regent-street, Lambeth-walk. The prem i ses in question, although little could be seen from 1 the street, occupied .a considerable space. They ex tended from the front dwelling-house nearly 100 feet back, and were adjoined on either side by numerous workshops and private houses, and when the terrific force of the explosion is taken into consideration, it is surprising that the work of destruction was not far more extensive than it really has been. From inquiries made upon the spot the following par ticulars were obtained from Mr. Darby, and may there fore be relied upon :—lt appears that at the time before stated, a number of the workmen were engaged in the several compartments of the factory, when on a sudden the entire neighbourhood was thrown into a state of confusion by a noise resembling the discharge of artillery. At the same time many of the houses in the immediate vicinity of Regent-street were shaken to their foundations. The windows and roofs were considerably damaged, and in two or three buildings the inmates were hurled from one side of their rooms to the other. At first it was generally believed that some convulsion of nature had taken place, and it is impos sible accurately to describe the scene that followed. In an instant a thousand or two of rockets shot forth from Mr. Darby's factory high into the air; these were fol lowed by sundry other fierce explosions, which had barely subsided when volumes of black smoke and large sheets of flame were to be seen curling over the roofs of the surrounding houses. It then became manifest that the mischief had taken place in Mr. Darby's premises, and forthwith an express was dispatched for the assist ance of the firemen. With all possible expedition, the parish, West of England, and five of the London Brigade engines, reached the spot, at which time the whole of Mr. Darby's back premises, with the exception of the powder magazine, were blazing, and so were the workshops ad joining, belonging to Mr. Dalling, an engineer. Fortu nately, an abundant supply of water was immediately obtained from the mains of the Lambeth Company, and the engines were forthwith set to work, under the direc tion of Mr. Hambleton and Mr. Connorton. Before, however, a drop of water could be thrown upon the flames, they had communicated to the front dwelling; and there is no doubt that, had it not been for the ex traordinary exertions of the firemen, this place would also have been levelled with the ground. As it is, the whole of the back windows are demolished, and several of the rooms severely injured by fire. After some time the firemen got the mastery over the flames, when a most desolating sight presented itself—the whole of the work-rooms in the rear, together with a two story store house, were razed to the ground, and thousands upon thousands of rocket-cases were to be seen amidst the ruins. The total loss is very considerable; it is the opinion of Mr. Darby that the fireworks alone destroyed were worth 2,0001. How the disaster occurred is wrapped in mystery. The general opinion of the workmen is, that it was occasioned by a workman taking a piece of hot metal into one of the rooms. That party is so severely injured as to be obliged to be removed to the Hospital. Besides the great destruction of property at Mr. Darby's, the following buildings have sustained damage: —Garden place, 1,2, 3,4, 5, and 6, window glass de molished and roofs of premises severely damaged; Mr. Dalling, engineer, 97, Regent-street, back of dwelling house and workshop severely damaged by fire. Several of the houses some distance off are also slightly injured by the shock. It is a most fortunate circumstance that only an hour or two before the acci dent occurred a week's supply of fireworks was sent off to Vauxhall gardens. LATEST PARTICULARS. Upon making inquiries, yesterday afternoon, it was ascertained that the young man, John Davis, who was taken to Guy's Hospital, although seriously injured, is likely to recover. It was at first thought that he bad inhaled the hot sulphurous vapour emitted from the fire works, but it his since been learned that such was not the ease, and it is the opinion of the house surgeon, at the Hospital, that no fatal consequences need now be apprehended. Every person who has since visited the premises have expressed their astonishment at the fire being so soon extinguished and without any person em ployed on the works being killed. Every man at work, when the explosion took place, had very narrow escapes. One party, on hearing the discharge, ran out of his workship and jumped over the yard wall, and it was ex ceedingly fortunate that he did, for in less than two se,:onds after he had left, the shop was blown into a mis shapen mass of ruins. Had it not been for the prompt attendance of the engines and firemen, and the immediate supply of water that was furnished by the LambethWorks, the whole of the front dwelling-house, together with the stock therein, would have been levelled with the ground. When they arrived the fire had extended to the goods in the back parlour and kitchen, and it was at great per sonal risk that the firemen entered the house with their hose, and by following up the flames, they happily suc ceeded in arresting the farther progress of this most fearful and destructive element. Women and children who were standing in the contiguous yards, although surrounded with bricks and rubbish that were hurled i from Mr. Darby's premises, strange as it may appear, not one of them received any personal injury. Sub joined is a copy of the official report of the mischief done . Regent-street, Lambeth-walk.-98, Mr. H. W. Derby, firework-maker ; two workshop and stock in trade therein destroyed by fire and explosion. Two others damaged by fire, and windows burned out. Store-rooms blown down. Back parlour, kitchen, and back front of dwelling-house severely damaged by fire and explosion. Several squares of glass broken, and one man injured and taken to the Hospital. Buildings and contents not insured. Cause of explosion unknown. Ditto, ditto, 97, Mr. J. Dalling, engineer. About one-third of roof of workshop destroyed, and contents damaged by water; a number of squares of glass broken. Ditto, ditto, 96, E. Perry, private. Window glass in back front broken. Ditto, ditto, 95, G. Bonewell, similar damage to premises. The whole of the parties are uninsured. t LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 9, 1847. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 7. A bankrupt, named Vander Vyer, a merchant in Crutched-friars, applied for his certificate. He had been in business three years, and owed about 3,5001., with nothing for his creditors. He was opposed on the part of three French houses and one American house. The complaint was, that when he was in embarrassed circumstances he had obtained clover-seed and linseed cakes to about 2,0001. from his foreign creditors, on which he had raised money, and had only made pay ment to one house, in order to obtain other goods. It appeared that all the capital the bankrupt possessed when he commenced business was 1531. It was urged against him that he had cheated the foreign houses, and that the interests of commerce required that his certifi cate should be refused. _ On the part of the bankrupt it was admitted that it was a case for a suspension. The inexperience of the bankrupt (22 when he embarked as a merchant) was relied upon in mitigation. Mr. Commissioner HOLIWYD said he had serious doubts about refusing the certificate. Almost a robbery had been committed, and the excuse offered would not avail. As it was, the case required a long suspension, and his judgment was, that the certificate be suspended from the present occasion, without protection, for a period of three years. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.--Warwick, August 7. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) MURDER AT BIRMINGHAM.—Peter Leonard, a man aged about 43, was placed at the bar charged with the wilful murder of Margaret Leonard, his wife, on the 14th of May last. Mr. WILLMORE stated very briefly the case to the jury, and then called the following witnesses:— Helena Ball—l am the wife of Jonathan Ball, of Lock-street, Birmingham. Knew the wife of the pri soner, and knew the prisoner and his wife for twelve months. They lived in Tanter-street, and were un happy together. I have seen him kick her several times since March. On the Wednesday before the event oc curred I was going to see my father in-law, who livedltwo doors past their house, when I heard the prisoner call his wife very bad names, and say he would finish her before the week was out. On the Friday after that, and ' the day before the event occurred, I heard the prisoner and his wife quarrelling, and he calling her bad names. Mary May—l live at 34, Tanter-street, and have known the prisoner and his wife for three years, having lived opposite for that time. They lived quietly to grther except when they were tipsy. On the Bth of May, about half-past seven in the morning, I saw the prisoner and deceased go into their house as I sat at the window. They appeared to be intoxicated, and were staggering as they walked along. They went into the house and shut the door. My window was open, and after they got in I heard the prisoner cursing and calling the deceased bad names. He said, " Get out, you —; get me some coals, and make me some breakfast." She answered, " I will Peter." This was all I heard. About ten minutes past eight o'clock the prisoner came to my door, while Mrs. Forty was with me. The street is very narrow. He said, " Will you come over to my house, and get Margaret out of the cellar? I have shoved her down there; but passion is the devil." Mrs. Forty and I went over directly. Upon going into the house the first thing we saw was a large pool of congealed blood on the kitchen floor, about a pint. The cellar door was shut. I opened it, and Mrs. Forty and I went down, but could see nothing till we got a light. We then saw the deceased lying with her two feet on the two lowest steps and her body stretched out, and her head doubled up under her right shoulder. ller face was covered with congealed blood, and there, were also pools of blood on the cellar floor. We asked the prisoner to come and help her up, but he said, " No; let the devil lie and die." He sat on the chair by the door while we carried the de ceased up. He seemed soberer then than when he carne home. Mrs. Forty washed the blood off deceased's face, and we got it off the floor. The deceased was insensible all the while, and the blood was flowing from her ears. I then asked the prisoner if he would let her have some thing to put under her head, as she was groaning heavily. lie said, " No;" and when they asked if they should put her to bed, he said, " No; let the be. If she don't stop her gruntine, I.will give her as much as I have given her already." Ile then went up stairs, and on hearing them talk of sending fbr a doctor, he came down. One of us then went for Mr. Bunn, the surgeon, who ordered the deceased to be put to bed. I then went home and did not sue her till next day, when the de csased was ordered by the club doctor, Mr. Kemp, to be taken to the hospital, as she was still insensible. The prisoner said he had no money ; but Mr. Kemp lent him some money. A car was fetched, and Mr. Kemp took the deceased to the hospital, the prisoner re • maining at home. Mrs. Forty was then examined, and gave evidence substantially similar to that of the preceding witness. John Taylor—l live in No. 4 court, Tanter-street, in the house adjoining that of the prisoner. We can hear in one house what is going on in the other. Between seven and eight, on the Bth, I heard the prisoner say— "lf you don't get up, you —, I'll knock your brains out. I'll murder you." He repeated these words a time or two, when she said, " Peter, don't murder me—don't murder me, Peter ;" and he said, "So help me God I will if you don't get up." In about a minute I heard the woman tumbled down the cellar, the door slammed, and the prisoner say, "Lie there you ." The woman groaned once. That was all I heard. James Ileades—l live at 19, Soutcr-street. I knew the deceased and the prisoner. Between seven and eight o'clock on the Bth of May, as I was coming up the pri soner's entry to my work, I heard loud talking in the house between the prisoner and_ his wife. I went and peeped through the keyhole, and saw the deceased lying on the fluor and bleeding from the mouth. She was saying, "Peter, Peter, don't kill me !" and he said, "Yes, I will, you Get up end fetch me some coal to make a fire, and get me some breakfast." I then went to the window. The curtains were drawn on each s id e , and I saw the prisoner stand over the deceased with a dinner-knife nuseapri- said, ,e h n f s e l in te m washeis getl hand, uu n pg d : , " Get u p, y ou paun d the - saying floor. "Peter, Peter," I'll f e t c h y ou some coa l . " she She then sat up on the floor. The prisoner was behind her, and he put his arm round her neck, and lifted her on her feet. She then went towards the cellar, and reeled against the pantry-door, the prisoner pushing her behind. He then gave her a push on getting to the cellar door, and pushed her down. He then shut the I then told what Mr. MACAULEY then addressed the jury on behalf of d l o h o u r d , andse seen said,to my "L a i u e ut. there, you the prisoner. Is e proceeded to say that he was not there to say that a grievous offence had not been com mitted; but that he had no doubt that th e j ur y wou ld find that the prisoner had not been guilty of the capital crime, however served. He then commented on the evidence, s howin g that it was rather improbable that any m an w h o w i s h e d to commit a murder would do so in the mid s t of a nu merous population, and with every act open to the eyes of any man w h o might choose to look; and that the prisoner's conduct, although undoubtedly brutal, was nothing more than usual, and was no evidence whatever of the intention of the prisoner to do fatal injuries to his wife. lie then called two witnesses; the first, named James Brookes, who keeps a coffee-shop in Tenter street, said he knew the prisoner and his wife for more than eleven years. There " were not better people on earth" than the prisoner and his wife when they were sober. He never lifted up a hand to touch her. Mrs. Brookes, the wife of the last witness, gave similar evi dence. His LORDSHIP charged the jury. If they believed that he did push her down stairs with the intention of killing, then they must bring in a verdict of murder. If they had any doubt as to the last supposition, they would give it to the prisoner, and bring in a verdict finding him guilty of manslaughter. The jury, after consulting for a few minutes, brought in a verdict of Manslaughter. His LORDSHIP then, after a most impressive address, sentenced the prisoner to be transported for the term of his natural life. . CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Lord DENMAN and a Special Jury.) LONDON V. DALE.--RAILWAY This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a civil engineer, against the defendant, an independent gentle man, residing at Cheltenham (the chairman of the pro visional committee of the projected Trent Valley Conti nuation Railway), to recover upwards of 7501. for work and labour done. Mr. Whitehurst, Mr. Humfrey, and Mr. He were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Waddington and Mr. Barlow for the defendant. The principal witness called was Mr. John Smith, solicitor, of Birmingham, who deposed that he was solici tor to the company, and that by order of the provisional committee, of which the defendant was the chairman, he made an engagement with the plaintiff to take a survey of the line at the rate of 301. per mile. The survey was made, and the maps duly prepared. Mr. Smith admitted that he had himself a bill against the company, and that he had adddressed a letter of demand against every member, the defendant amongst the rest. Lord DENMAN, in summing up, thought the case an extremely clear one. The order was given by the de fendant, as the chairman of a small body, of which each member was equally liable. It was a fallacious idea to suppose that there was any part i cu l a r hardship in a plain tiff selecting any one particular.individual as responsible br the debt owing to him, as it was the duty of every person entering into such undertakings to see that his colleagues were equally competent and respon sible with himself. The best way, in his opinion, for parties when they found the speculation in which they embarked was unsuccessful, was to meet together and come to som e equ i ta b le settlement; but if they did not to so, persons claiming against them had a perfect right to adopt any legal means for the enforcement of the claim. The plaintiff in this case could make any of t h e members of the committ ee who acted w i th hi m contribute to the I oes which he sustainQd Verdict for th e plaintiff: for the full amount sought to 1 )e recovered.

PEEBLES, FRIDAY.—This day having been fixed for the nomination of the candidates for the representation of the county, the proceedings commenced at the hust ings, which had been erected in front of the Town-ball, by the Sheriff reading the writ and going through the usual preliminary formalities. The day being fine, and there being some excitement regarding the contest, a large concourse of people had assembled. The hustings were of unusual height, being made so as to admit of access from the windows of Town-hall, which are twelve feet above the level of the street. Before the proceedings had begun, Sheriff Napier had ordered and obtained a report as to their sufficiency. Mr. Mackenzie, of Portmore, the recent Member for the county, and his friends, occupied half the hustings on the right hand of the Sheriff, and Mr. Carmichael, of Stirling, the opposing candidate, and his friends, the other half. After the Sheriff had concluded, William Forbes, Esq., of Slipper field, proceeded to address the assembly with a view to propose Mr. Mackenzie. Ile had scarcely got through two sentences, when in a moment the joistings gave way, and the entire flooring of the hustings became separated from the front and back supporters, and went down with a fearful crash, bearing the whole of its occupants to the ground, except Mr. Forbes and Mr. C. Blyth, who both clung to the front rail. The table in front, at which two reporters were seated at an elevation of about six feet from the ground, was overturned by the shock, and the reporters knocked over and injured. There were about fifty gentlemen on the hustings when it fell. After they had been extri cated from the wreck, it was found that no life was lost, but that several were severely injured. The following list contain the names of those most severely hurt, but many others escaped with slight bruises, and some were wholly uninjured. LIST OF PERSONS INJURED. 1. W. F. Mackenzie, Esq., of Portmore, bruised in the shoulder. 2. James 'lay Mackenzie, Esq., fracture of the knee pan and much bruised. 3. John Erskine, Esq., of Venlaw, bruised in the back. 4.

After the lapse of some time the nomination was quietly gone through, and the polling days fixed for Wednesday and Thursday next. It is expected to be a very severe contest. The uneasy feeling observable in the city on Satur day morning on the op enin g of busine ss could hardly have been exceeded, but it wore off in some degree to- wards the close of the day, although the tone o f affairs was still discouraging. Consols fur Account were first done at S6' 4 l sellers, the Bank returns and the announce. ment of further failures constituting the reasons for the depression. They soon, however, improved, and went to 86 to 87, and from this point a purchase of stock for Tuesday next, on account of the Court of Chancery, sent them up to 87k, at which they closed. For money the range was from 8G to 86k, the last price being 861. After the regular hours of business some time balgaius were effected at a decline of an eighth. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. On Saturday night the season at this establishment was brought to a close. The pieces selected pre sented no novelty beyond their being recognised as favourite dramas, and consisted of—A Curious Case, Used up, He would be an Actor, and the last new farce, entitled Early Closing. Mr. Charles Mathews exhibited his accustomed excellence in the character of Mr. Twiggleton, Sir Charles Coldstream, and Motley. At the conclusion of the drama of Used Up, Mr. Maddox, the lessee, appeared before the curtain, and delivered the subjoined address. It should be observed; that the house was well filled, arid at half price might be fairly termed overflowing:— " Ladies and Gentlemen,—After having, with the exception of a vacation of ten days, kept open house continually for two and twenty months, I, thanks to your kind patronage, bring my season, for the seventh time, to a successful termination. My expenditure has been great, but your generous support has not only enabled me to reimburse myself, but has given me a fair margin of profit into the bargain. Ido not, ladies and gentlemen, make so unwise a boast as to say that, This is the only theatre in which the legitimate drama has found a refuge '—or hazard so unfounded an assertion as that, even when Shaks pere speaks, it is to scanty audiences ;' on the con trary, Shakspere does speak here, has spoken here to anything but scanty audiences,' as crowded audi ences, and my pocket can testify. " Ladies and Gentlemen—l think that we are as legitimate' as anybody. Mr. Macready and Mrs. Butler are legitimate,' lawful children—true repre sentatives of our divine bard. And is not the talented Miss Cushman—whom I first had the honour of in troducing to a British public—' legitimate,' too ? And, by the way, I am proud to tell you that I have formed an engagement with that lady to appear in Shaksperian plays, in conjunction with Mr. Mac ready, on the opening of our next campaign. If that be not I know not what is. " Ladies and Gentlemen—After all, the true test of public opinion is well filled benches, such as I now see around me, and the very first season that, in making up my accounts, I find that I am a loser, I shall think there is something rotten in the state of Denmark,' and that my mode of catering for your amusement is unpalateable ; but until that time ar rives I shall pursue my present course, exerting all my energies to please, to give you every satisfaction ; and, when I issue my programme for the forthcoming season, I feel convinced that the important engage ments it will announce will secure a continuance of your kind patronage. For the unvarying success which has attended my labours as lessee of this the atre, I beg to tender you my most sincere thanks ; and, furling the banner of the Princess's, for a few weeks, in the name of myself and the ladies and gen tlemen of this establishment, I most gratefully and respectfully bid you farewell." The Grand Duke Constantine and suite, the Rus sian Admiral, and Count Orloff, occupied two private boxes during the evening. VAUXHALL GARDENS. On Friday evening the royal property was specially honoured by a visit from his Grace the Duke of Wellington, accompanied by the Marchioness of Douro and the Hon. Charles Arbuthnot, in addition to the numerous leaders of fashion, and a portiportionof the Royal Family that have this season visited Vauxhall Gardens. His Grace and party entered the gardens at a quarter past nine, during the per formance of the concert. Mr. Robert Wardell, the proprietor, received the distinguished visitors, and conducted them round the grounds, followed by the greater portion of the spectators, whose attentions and respectful demeanour the Duke seemed much gratified with. Mr. Wardell attended the Duke and party to seats prepared for them in the gallery, and at the termination of the pyrotechnic display, in which Darby had added some brilliant effects, his Grace and friends took their departure through the Italian Walk, lit up for the occasion. Nothing could exceed the gratification expressed by the illustrious visitor as he walked up the long avenue, attended by the proprietor, and followed by the greater portion of the visitors. " I have never seen in m y life, Mr. Wardell," observed his Grace, " such a grand display of fireworks as this evening ; though in several countries I have witnessed exhibitions of fireworks, yours are the most superb ; your enter tainments, also, throughout the evening, are very ex - callent, and I have to thank you for persuading me to stay to witness so extraordinary a sight, as I ori ginally intended to have quitted the gardens earlier." Mr. Wardell expressed his gratitude for the distin guished honour conferred on his exertions as a caterer for public amusement. At half-past eleven the Duke and party, with his private secretary, quitted the gardens, attended to his carriage by Mr. Wardell. Among the nobility present also were the following leaders of ton :—The Marquis of Ely and party, Marquis of Westmeath and party, Earl of Munster, Earl of Chichester, Earl Grosvenor, Prince Czerni cheff, Princess Alexandrina, Duke of Nassau, Duke of Leeds, Count Orloff, Baron Nicolay, Lord Loftus and party, Lord A.

THE 17TH REGINIENT.—On Friday afternoon, the 6th inst., the head quarters of the 17th Royal Tigers marched into Chatham Barracks from Gravesend, at which place they disembarked from the ship Ann, Cap tain Knox. Its strength consists of 15 sergeants, 6 drummers, and 202 rank and file, with 10 women and 13 children, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel J. Pennycuick, with the following officers:—Captain T. Prendergast, Captain 11. W. Pole Welman, Lieutenant E. 11. Cornick, Lieutenant Campbell Sawins, Lieutenant Rowland B. Codd, Ensign F. D. Wyatt, Ensign G. F. Lemart, Assistant-surgeon G. Archer, M.D., and Quar termaster J. Mulhall. These troops embarked at Bombay on the 13th, sailed on the 14th of March last, arrived on the 17th of May at Table-bey, Cape of Good Hope, and at St. Helena on the sth of June. During the voyage, which was nearly five months, they only lost one man by death. Previous to the regiment leaving 450 men volunteered into other regiments serving in that :country. The head-quarters of this regiment left Chatham for New South Wales in August, 1829, and after serving five years in Australia, it embarked for Bombay in the year 1836, and was at the capture of Ghuznee and Khelat, and latterly it formed part of the army under Sir Charles Napier. Those men who have served 21 years will be forwarded to SL Mary's to be pensioned off, and the remainder will join the other di vision at Canterbury next week. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, AUG. 6.—The trans actions of the week have been unimportant, but prices andar e a not t h lower. a d • e e officesinipo importers r not r e large, from bringing forward anything fresh at present. Re finedsupply in goods are rather dull.—Bristol Mercury. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—There is a good arrival of wheat this week, the demand for which is quit ) i u re t a il at a decline of Ss. to 10s. per quarter fr en this day se'nnight, but there is less anxiety than on Tuesday to force business. Oats are sold at a reduc tion of id. per stone. Shelling 2s. per load lower. No variation in ti e value of bean., but difficult to sell. OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT.—Complaints are daily made of unmerciful attacks by the navvies on the poor Ir . :sill - nen employed in excavating for the railway in the neighbourh oo d o f M onmouth. On W e d nes d ay l as t, a quiet, inoffensive labourer, named Staunton, was wan tonly struck down on the Malpas road, and so cruelly beaten by some ruffianly fellows in the same occupation, that he has not been able to work since. It is incum bent on the authorities at once to take measures for arresting such brutal conduct. ?. [ Ethel! was a widower of the age of 45, having a daughter about 21, and the defendant, Mi., edith, was au 30. From this it would be seen that there was no great or improper disparity of age. The defendant, as he had stated, resided with her elder brother. After an ac quaintance of some iew weeks an attachment sprung up between the parties, and Miss Meredith intimated to Mr. Thomas Ethell, the nephew, that she contemplated a marriage with Mr. Stephen, his uncle, and requested that he would communicate with her brother upon the subject. He did so. The brother of the defendant at the time approved of the connexion, and it was subse quently arranged that the marriage should take place in the month of October. The defendant provided her marriage clothes, and the plaintiff proceeded to make the necessary arrangements for the nuptials. A short time afterwards Miss Meredith declined to fulfil her promise. and when requested to state the grounds of her refusal, she stated, in the first instance, that her brother would not give his consent ; and, then again, that the plaintiff was too old, and she did not like to marry a man of such an age. With respect to the plaintiff's age, he (Mr. Whitehurst) presumed she knew that at the time she entered into the engagement, but it was evident there was something behind. The plaintiff, in consequence of the conduct of the defendant, had been the object of derision and laughter; and thought that under the cir cumstances he could do no other than bring the subject before a jury of his country. The defendant had simply pleaded that she had not made any promise. That would be seen by the evidence he (Mr. White hurst) should produce. Miss Meredith had secured the assistance of his Learned Friend (Mr. Humfrey), whom perhaps, they had frequently heard or read of in cases of that description. His friend would, no doubt, attempt to laugh the case out of court, and, if possible, he would get the jury to laugh with him. He (Mr. White hurst) was fond of fun, and he had no doubt they would have a great deal of fun on that occasion. —(Loud laughter.) His Learned Friend would ask them what wounded feelings a man of forty-five could possess ? How it was possible that he could sustain damage by the loss of a matrimonial connexion with a woman of thirty? Every case must, however, be judged by its own merits. The plaintiff did not ask for extravagant damages; but, although a man's feelings were not so strong as those of a woman, still he had his feelings; and when injured and wounded, as they were in the in stance now before them, it was the duty of the jury to award reasonable damages. There would, he believed, be no dispute about the facts. The only consideration would be the amount of damages to be awarded to the plaintiff. The Learned Counsel proceeded to call the following witnesses:— Mr. Thomas Ethell, upholsterer, of Birmingham, examined by Mr. MILLER.—IIe was acquainted with Miss Meredith. She was on a visit at their house last summer. Mr. Stephen Ethell visited there, and he and Miss Meredith became acquainted. The plaintiff be came attatched to her, and Miss Meredith received his addresses favourably. He continued his attentions. At the Musical Festival, in August, Miss Meredith was on visit to the plaintiff's daughter. She is 21. The plaintiff is from 40 to 45, and the defendant full 30. During the time the defendant was on a visit to the plaintiff she told witness that she was about to marry the plaintiff, and that there was only one obstacle, that was her brother. She requested him to speak to her brother upon the subject. Accordingly, one night at supper, after they had been to a meeting of the Church Pastoral Aid Society, the witness, addressing the defen dant's brother, who was present, and in reference to the intimacy then existing between the plaintiff and defen dant, said, " You see how comfortable they are together (Laughter)—now'sthe time to speak—(Continued laugh ter)—if you have any doubts now mention them." De fendant's brother said he had none, and that he was quite willing if they were. Mr. MILLER.—What did you do then ? Witness—l got up and said, " God bless you both together."—(Loud laughter.) Mr. MlLLErt—What did his brother say? Witness— "So say I."—(Roars of laughter.) It was afterwards arranged that the marriage should take place in October, on the plaintiff's birthday; as both birthday and marriage day might then be kept together.—(Great laughter.) subsequently the defendant said it would be too soon, and the day remained unfixed. Cross-examined by Mr. lIIIMFREY-Why, you do your respected uncle injustice, don't you? Was he not the son of William and Mary Ethell? Witness—lie was. Mr. HumraEr —ls he not near .50? Witness—No, I believe not. Mr. HUMEREY—Is it, then, the custom of your family to be baptised before they are barn?—(Laughter.) Wit ness—No, I believe not. How can they?—(Laughter.) Mr. HIT3IFREY-Why, was not your respected uncle, according to the registry I hold in my hand, baptised in the year 1800? Witness—l don't know. I don't believe him to be 48 or 49 years of age. I went to school with him, and I am 40. Mr. HUMFREY—This thoughtless young man became acquainted with the young lady in July, and made this proposal after the meeting of the Pastoral Aid Society? Witness—Yes; that was on the Ist of Sept., and the mar riage was appointed for October. Ido not believe Miss Meredith is more than 30, because my wife went to school with her, and she is 29. Mr. HUMFREY—Yes; but you know that is no cri terion. You went to school with your respected uncle. —(Laughter.) Witness—l do not know that my uncle got 301. out of the poor girl for her wedding clothes. I believe two other actions have been brought arising out or this affair—No. 1, - for an assault; No. 2, for slander; and, now, No. 3, for a breath of promise of marriage. I do not know that the girl is of weak intellect, or dif ferent in mind to other young women. She has, I be lieve, some property. Mr. HuaintEy-1 • thouiht so: Witness—My wife and Aunt are both here. Mrs. Harriette Ethell was present at the meeting at Mr. Stephen Ethell's, when. it was agreed that the mar riage should take place on. the. .23d of October; but afterwards the defendant said, it.must be either a little before or after. She•afterwards•told- witness she must give it up, as she had 110* peace at home. This was a week or two after the festival; it was before the time fixed for the marriage. Cross-examined by Mr. HUMFREY—I went to school, with the defendant. We are within a month or two of the same age. I am. 29 years of age. I was one of a party who went over in October to fetch the defendant from Yardley. . • Mr. HUMEREY—NOW you can tell us a little about that. Who went with you? Witness—The plaintiff's sister and daughter. I tried to persude her to come over to Birmingham. Neither her brother nor her sister were at home at the time.' She refused to go unless a lady was with her. - On the Sunday Mr. S. Ethell said he had been grossVinsulted at the brother's house. I went to fetch her on a visit to me. Her aunt and uncle were sent for to prevent us taking her away. There was a crowd near. The defendant was prevented from going with us. • Re-examined by Mr. WITITEHURST—Mr. S. Ethell told me some person from Birmingham had insulted him at Yardley on the Sunday. This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. HIIMPREY then addressed the jury in a most humorous and effective speech. He was not surprised that his Learned Friend should have anticipated the ridicule which naturally and of necessity was attached to the case—not from his (Mr. Humfrey's) representation of it, but from the evidence as stated by the plaintiff himself. There was, instead of a young, vigorous lover, whose feelings were injured, wounded, and harrowed up by the loss of an expected young and virtuous wife —an old man, in indifferent circumstances, seeking to obtain the pittance which her father had left to her. Th at h e had suffered much he (Mr. Humfrey) did not doubt; but the suffering was occasioned by no other cause than the loss of the young woman's cash.. The defendant was the daughter of a respectable farmer. When the acquaintance which was the foundation of the present action became known, her brother, with whom she resided, assented to it ; subsequently he with drew his consent, and his sister, like a g oo d an d prudent girl, refused to ally herself to this old man, who had a child almost as old as herself. Till the end of July this old . fellow had never known the poor girl. He (Mr. Humfrey) wondered that the old block. head was not ashamed to parade his disgrace before a court of justice. His nephew . was proud of his re spected uncle as a schoolfellow—how proud of him he must be as a plaintiff in a case of breach of promise of marriage. —(Laughter.) He never remembered, in his practice or reading, a case in which a man brought an action against a woman for a breach of promise of mar riage in which the action was not dictated by cupidity. Was it likely that such a marriage would ever have been a happy marriage ? He asked them, as fathers and brothers, having wives and sisters, whether they would, by their verdict, sanction such an action ? The plaintiff had come there to get money out of the pocket of the defendant, which he knew he could not get by marriage. Her friends had interfered to prevent that abomination. He (Mr. Humfrey) admitted that if a promise had been made and broken there must be a verdict for the plaintiff, but he hoped, for the credit of the country, it would be of the smallest posiible coin known in the circulating medium of the realm—that would be a hundred thousand times more than he deserved. Lord DENMAN supposed the jury would agree with him that there had been a .promise, and that it had been broken. The only question, therefore, was as to the amount of damages. •He need not trouble them with any observations upon that point. The evidence they had heard would direct them. The jury found a verdict—Damages, one farthing. The verdict was received"with applause. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Bridgwater, August 6. (Before Chief Justice WILDE .) James Gould was indicted for that he, being in the service of her Majesty, did embezzle three penny pieces. Mr. Rogers and Mr. Poulden were counsel for the prosecution. • • From the.evidence it appeared that the prisoner was employed as a letter-carrier between Timsbury and Rad stock, and was in the•habit of receiving letters, and with them the postage, which he had to pay into the post office at Radstock. The prisoner lodged with a Mrs. Cottle, who, upon making his bed, on the 20th of June, discovered no less than forty4hree letters in his trousers ~caketa which had not been delivt red to the post-office. Nfrs. Cottle had a conversation with the prisoner, which ' c-tided in her taking the letters to the Radstock post -ffice. Further search was then made at the prisoner's lodgings, and under the tiles of an outhouse 54 other :etters were discovered. All thesa letters had been given to the prisoner to putinto the post office, and he - ;ad been paid a penny with each letter, but had not ac ._!ounted for the SUMS . he had received. The prisoner was only fifteen years of age, and had but 7s. 4 week. The jury having found the prisoner Guilty, The sentk nee was, that he should be transported for sven years, but he would be taken where boys were instructed, and taught a useful business. August 7. The Crown Court has been occupied all day in trying cases unfit or publication; and Mr. Justice Williams, in the Civil Court, has been trying cases of ejectment. HOME ClRCUlT.—Croudon, August 7. (Before Baron PARKE and a special Jury.) JOCOBS V. TARLETON. This was an action brought by Henry Jacobs against the Rev. John Edward Tarleton, Rector of Chesfield and Lamborough, in Kent, to recover the amount of his ac ceptance upon a bill of exchange for 100/. The defen dant pleaded that the bill had been obtained by fraud, and that the plaintiff had not given any consideration for the bill, and was not the bone fide owner of it. Mr. Chambers and Mr. Petersdoff were for the plain tiff, and Sergeant Shee and Mr. Ogle for the defendant. The bill in question was put in ; it was drawn on the 21st of January, 1847, by one Snell, accepted by the defendant, and then appeared to have been endorsed to one Gadderer, and by him to Henry Jacobs, the present plaintiff Sergeant SHEE addressed the jury for the defendant, and said that the defence he was instructed to offer was, that the reverend gentleman had been made the victim of a gang of swindlers ; and that all the persons whose names appeared to the bill were parties to the fraud. He proceeded to state that the defendant being in some pecuniary difficulty in October last, was incautious enough to answer an advertisement that appeared in one of the public papers, offering to lend money ; and eventually a person named Gadderer called upon him, and at his suggestion he was induced to accept two bills, one for 2001. and the other for 3001., to get discounted, which Gadderer took away with him; and a few days afterwards he gave the defendant 1671. in two payments, and this was all he ever received. Gadderer afterwards called again upon him, and repre sented that there was some informality in the two bills, which prevented him from getting them discounted, and Dr. Tarleton gave him two other bills for the same amount. He was eventually compelled to pay both the 2001. bills and the first 3001. one; and when the other 3001. bill became due, he was threatened with legal pro ceedings by Gadderer, and he was induced to give three 100/. bills in lieu of the one for 3001., and the present was one of those bills, but as it was quite clear that the transaction was one of a most fraudulent character he felt it his duty to resist the payment. Moses Jacob was called. In answer to questions he said that the plaintiff was his father, and was living in the Kent-road, with some members of his family, and entirely dependent upon them for support. His father was not worth a shilling, and utterly unable to have given consideration for the bill in question. He was seventy-five years 010, and was not able to write. He then went on to say that his father was merely the no minal plaintiff, and that he lent his name to parties who obtained bills, and was guaranteed from paying the costs. He had had a conversation with his father upon the subject of this action, and asked him how he could make an affidavit that he had given consideration for the bill ; and he said he was not aware that he swore that, but thought it was merely an affidavit to postpone the trial, which he was told it was. His father, he said, had ad mitted to him that twenty actions upon bills had been brought in his name. Another witness was called to prove that he went to the plaintiff to make some inquiries about the bills, and he told him that he knew nothing about them, and that he had not given Mr. Lewis any instructions to bring an action. Mr. CHAMBERS, in reply, urged upon the jury, that in the absence of any positive proof that the plaintiff had anything to do with any fraud that might have been committe I he was entitled to their verdict. Baron PARKE, in summing up, said he did not think the plea of fraud had been made out by the evidence, but the material question for the jury to consider was, whether the plaintiff was a bona fide holder of this bill in question, or whether he was merely put forward as the nominal plaintiff. The jury, after deliberating about five minutes, re turned a verdict for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. On Saturday Mr. John Bull, who was some days ago charged with having fraudulently obtained two bills of exchange, each for 2001., under pretence of getting them discounted for Mr. Alexander, a draper at Kelso, was brought up by Payne, City policeman, for a third ex amination. Mr. Woolf° attended for the prisoner. A good deal of interest was occasioned by the investigation. It will be recollected that upon the previous examina tion it was stated by Mr. Alexander that he was induced, by the appearance of an advertisement in the Glasgow Herald, to communicate with Mr. Bull on the subject of obtaining , a sum of money, and that he transmitted a bill, of which he was the acceptor (Mr. Bull to be the drawer), to that gentleman to be negotiated ; and that Mr. Bull soon afterwards wrote to him, stating such bill was not, in consequence of some irregularity, available, and that a second bill for the same amount was immediately sent to Mr. Bull, who, however, neither cashed nor returned either of the bills, the excuse offered by him being that they were both destroyed, although common report stated that they were both in existence and about the town. The solicitor for the prosecution said, in answer to Mr. Woolfe, who asked of what offence the prisoner was accused, that the charge had assumed rather a different shape since the first evidence was taken. It was that the prisoner had obtained the second bill under false pretences. The officer employed upon the occasion had in his possession the first bill, which had been obtained from the prosecutor, and which, it seemed, had been placed by the prisoner in the hands of a person of whom he had purchased 991. worth of attar of roses, as collateral security for the payment of that amount. With regard to the second bill, the prisoner had told the officer that he was most anxious to give the party into custody who had swindled him oat of that instrument. The prosecutor called Alderman Gibbs' attention to the fact that the prisoner had declared that both bills had been destroyed. Mr. Woolfe said, he had a few questions to put to the person who brought the hitherto unintelligible charge. Did the bill, which is dated, I see, the 17th of May, bear the signature of Mr. Bull as the drawer when you re ceived it? Witness—lt did, and I accepted it, and sent it back. Mr. Woolfe—How does it happen that your name, instead of being written across the bill, is merely written underneath that of the drawer, and without being preceded by the word " accepted?" Witness—lt is quite usual to accept in that way in Scotland. Mr. Woolfe—Have you had many bill transactions ? Witness—Yes, lots of them, and t o a very cons i derable amount, but I do not see that there is any occasion for saying how much. Alderman GIBBS.—None at all. Mr. Woolfe—Are you now in a state of solvency or not ? Witness—l do not know that such a question can at all be necessary in an examination like the present. I believe the first bill I had transmitted to him was a good bill, but he said there was an irregularity in it. I have ascertained that there was no irregularity in it at all, and have no doubt that the pretence was made to enable him to avail himself of the two bills. Here Mr. Alexander produced a letter from Mr. Ball, dated the 21st of May, expressing gratification at the punctuality of his correspondent, apologizing for being so particular in his business transactions, and stating that he would get a stamp at the Stamp-office in return for that on which the irregular bill had been drawn, and that Mr. Alexander should have the cash immediately afterwards. The whole of the correspondence took place within a week, but neither bill nor money had been ever forthcoming. Mr. Woolfe—Have you ever given 11 to the prisoner in this transaction ? Witness—Certainly not ; it was he who was to have given to me.—(Laughter.) Mr. Woolfe—Did you not compromise or settle with your creditors before you accepted either of the ;bills ? Witness—Certainly not. Mr. Woolfe—Was it not known in Scotland that you were insolvent before you accepted either of these bills? Witness—No ; nor for a long time after. Mr. Woolfe—.Did you not tell the prisoner that if he would give you up the bills you would do nothing more against him? Witness—No doubt of it ; and he as sured me they were both destroyed. It is pretty evi dent that neither of them has been destroyed. Payne, the officer, said, that the prisoner, in going to the Compter from the Mansion-house, said he had been regularly duped out of the second bill by a person whom he should wish to place in the same position as that in which he was placed himself. He then gave me the name of a person who bad, as he stated, the bill ; and he declared to me that all ho had got out of it him self was 111. worth of pictures ; that was all the benefit he received. Alderman Girms—Did you tell any parties who may know anything of these transactions to come here and give evidence ? Payne—l did; and they promised to be in attendance. Alderman Ginns—l shall remand this case in order to have additional evidence. Mr. Woolfe submitted that there was no legal evi dence to warrant the further detention of his client. The Loan MAYOR said the case appeared to him to be one of very gross fraud. In fact, there was not a tittle of the whole transaction that did not show an intention to cheat. What could be said of the intention of a man who said that both bills were destroyed ? after which he stated, upon being taken into custody, that he had re ceived a consideration for one of them, and the other was produced to negative his veracity. The prisoner was then remanded till Monday (this day). GUILDHALL. On Saturday Mr. Stevens, the surveyor of the western district of the city of London, applied to the sitting magistrate, Sir J. Pirie, for his directions under an emer gency not provided for by the New Building Act. He stated that a stack of chimneys belonging to some ruin ous unoccupied premises in New-street-square, by the Queen's printing-office, had fallen, and from the appear ance of the premises, there was reason to apprehend the w hole would fall in a few hours, to the danger of the public. He wanted, therefore, authority immediately to shore up and take down the premises. The Alderman of the ward, the overseers, and all the local authorities, were out of town. He then resorted to the Mansion house, but was not so fortunate as to meet with the Lord Mayor. lie had done what the law required him, as district surveyor, to do, and from what he had put in motion, he should obtain the necessary authority about Wednesday ; but he wanted authority to do instantly what was necessary for the protection of the public. Sir J. PIRIE said he would take upon himself the re sponsibility of ordering him to do what the safety and convenience of the public required. The ALDF.RMAN gave the surveyor a written authority. MAR L B 01?0 UGII-STREET. On Saturday Robtrt Lacy, A young man of very re spectable connexions, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged a ith having robbed his employer, Mr. Perry, hairdresser and perfumer, Burlington-arcad e , of property valued at between 2001. and 3001. It appeared that the prisoner had come from the country as an improver. He had placed himself with Mr. Perry about eighteen months ago, and no suspicion was entertained of his honesty until a few days since, when, in consequence of the strong smell of perituaery in hie be.leomn the reeeere, m ade eeel,l communication Mi.

The boxes, property valued at when examined, contained perfumery and similar pro perty, stolen at different times from the shop, worth be tween 1001. and 2001. The prosecutor stated that tbe extent of his stock and business prevented himfrets missing this large quantity of property Lefore. Police-constable Lockhart, B 161, said he was present when the prisoner's boxes were searched. The propertlt consisting of tortoiseshell combs, ivory backed brushes, &c., was identified by Mr. Perry-.
