A cemfortlees month has it been, With its fogs, and its damp, and its cold • No sun-beam enlivened its setae, While vapours around it were rolled. But drear as November has preyed, Its vapours no mischief have eons For danger at once I removed, By going to MOSES and SON.

M. ROOKS. The following anecdotes of the early career of po.e. Rooke, whose beeutiful opera of Amelie has for ten years been the deli g h t and admirat i on o f t h e musical world, may prove not uninteresting .to our renders. Rooke was born in Dublin, Sept. 29th, 1794, and his father, a tradesman himself, intended his eon to follow the same calling. Rooke, however, was born a musician, and procuring a flute, soon taught himself to play do that instrument. His father died, and left his widoWr,and son in poverty. Young Liooke tupas a blaCking maker in order to earn a subsistence, still continuing to practice assiduously on the flute. It had long been his w6h to obtain a fiddle, and that wish was at length gratified in the following manner :—He sat one evening in his blacking manu factory, all alone, exercising his mind on matters somewhat akin to those just hinted at—all the while watching an iron pot, in which simmered the ingre dients of his jet polish, and, ever and anon, wishing that some piece of good fortune would throw a fiddle in his way—when his cogitations were disturbed by his 400 r being gently opened. Looking round, he became aware that a bush - of fox red hair had pre sented itself, surmounting a good-humoured, know ing-looking phi; which was lighted up by a pretty broad grin. The owner. advanced by degrees, until the.whole man—for such it proved to be—had got within the precincts of the manufactory, bearing in his hand,—what, think you, curious reader? Oh, you could never guess - yet it is a fact, a most strange one, it is granted, but,; nevertheless, there the thing was,—neither snore nor l e e s than the decolated trunk of a fiddle,' with th e t a il-ieee dangling from a tie of catgut. Gracious powers,,a fiddle and he just then, as it were, dreaming of 010. At the sight his heart " leaped up," we 3114 Mat ven'erre to say how much, higher than ever did that or our great poet, when he first " beheld a rainbow in the sky ; ' but, up it leaped, sure enough, and up he leaped along with it. The thoughts of jars, customers, and all care of the simmering pot, quickly vanished. Advancing to meet the fiddle—for that object alone now filled his mind— he never asked what brought it there, but, snatching at the body, exclaimed abruptly, " Where is the neck ?" " Oh, by dad, then, we're all right," said the stranger, drawing forth from a capacious pocket the dissevered scroll and finger-board, " here it is ; I've brought it to you neck and heels, head and tail, all uoryoot ; u in joinetry, an d a m i g h ty quare l ooking article it is any how ; b u t I d are say you ' re up to all about it, and of co orse can t e ll me where to get it mended. " " Is the fiddl e y our own ?" was the query. sur‘e‘ Troth, then," master'sreplied,then,' upin thethe first man, flare; is f n " itsbeuet we're just up fr om th e country, and the master say's to me awhile ago , (oh, he's a 'cute man, an d well he may, for where s 'the attorney that isn't ?)," this a renthetical remark was given with a significant wink, "says he to me, Ned, says he, I heered somebody down stairs bl as ti ng away on t h e fl ute all the 'morn ing, and maybe the chap that blew it knows some thing about the fiddle ; so Ned, says he, you'd b etter run down and fi n d ou t if h e could tell where it can he doctored up. With that, you see, down I come, and made bould to step in and ax you; and," con tinued he, observing the strict examination to which the disjointed violin was subject, " as you handle the article in a knowledgeable tasty sort of a w a y, I' ve some notion the master wasn't far out in his guess ; but, after all, he'll be a smarter fellow than me that ever gets music out of that ould battered rattletrap." During this roll of Ned's tongue, which he ended with a hearty laugh, the idea occurred to young Rooke that here was an opportunity of obtaining possession, were it for ever so short a time, of the long-desired treasure. lie, therefore, told Ned that he could manage the matter for him as well as any one in Dublin, and that, if the fiddle were intrusted to him, he would take care to have it repaired in the best manner. "Ah, then, long life to you and many thanks," said Ned, " and as one good turn deserves another, I don't care if I deal with you for a pot of your polish." So saying he threw down a tenpenny piece, which he extracted from his left cheek (a far safer reposi tory than any of his pockets), and departed, taking away a large-sized jar of the prime super jet blacking, a range of which stood upon a shelf, bearing on their labels a judicious intimation that the trade should have a liberal allowance on any quantity ordered exceeding one dozen. When once more alone poor Rooke remained for a few moments lost in thought. Might not all this be merely a dream by the fire-side ? But no, the grasp of the old fiddle and the bright tenpenny were Batts too tangible for doubt, even if the boiling over of the forgotten blacking-pot had not suddenly de cided the reality of the scene. He lost no time, next day, in taking the violin to Perry and Wilkinson, who soon restored it to working order; and when he got it home, having begged a loan of it, which was readily granted, he laboured night and day to overcome the difficulties of that formidable instrument, with no other assistance than that afforded by a cheap printed guide. Mr. John Fallow, having heard Rooke perform, was so pleased that he took hint under his instruction, and through life continued his friend. Rooke had set his heart upon the study of music as a science, and a piano was indispensable, but, having none, and the purchase, or even the hire of one, being at that time immeasurably beyond his reach, he set his wits to work to overcome the difficulty. It is recorded of the celebrated writer and critic, the late Mr. Gifford, who had in his early days to struggle with difficulties of no ordinary magnitude, that, while drudging as a shoemakers apprentice, his unfeeling master denied him the use of pen, ink, or paper, lest he should neglect his work for the study of mathematics, but that he contrived to evade the restriction by beating out scraps of leather, upon which, with the point of a blunted awl, he traced his algebraic symbols. Rooke's device, however, for getting over his impediments was even still more remarkable. He procured a board of the same length and breadth as a bench of piano keys, upon w •hich he marked out the scale, distinguishing the ivory from the ebony by means of black and white paint. Provided with thi s d umb substitute, h e pur sued his silent and secret studies; for his plan was not divulged to even the most intimate of his friends. An ear naturally most perfect, and a soul attuned to musical sounds, enabled him, in a certain degree, to conceive the audible effect that should arise from the combinations of notes upon which his fingers descended; and thus—almost fabulous as it may seem to persons not skilled in music—he persevered in his unique system of practice, until he acquired some knowledge of thorough bass, or harmony, and no contemptible power of fingering, long before he had any opportunity of playing on a real piano forte. Certainly in all the records of make shift ingenuity we shall seek in vain for a more singular instance than, this of triumph over a hopeless diffi culty. A valued friend of Woke's, to whose excellent memory we are indebted for these early and interest ing facts, has a perfect recollection of the first time our young musician ever played upon a veritable piano. His friend, then also a lad, was domiciled in the family of the late Mr. Daly, of George's-street, and Rooke had been engaged to give him lessons on the violin, for even thus early did he endeavour to turn his musical knowledge to profitable account. One evening that Rooke made a professional v i s it, after having had a hard days' practice on his dummy, he remained for tea, and they got up some music. In the course of their amusements, having g cast many a wistful loos at the piano, Rooke could not refrain from whispering to his friend that he had a great de sire to try what he could do on the instrument. " WV," said his friend, laughing, " what do you know about the piano ? Surely you told me that you never play e d on one in all your life." " Th at is true enough," replied Rooke, " yet I think I could make something of it." " Well, then," said his friend, " you and I will sit them all out, a n d w h en they are One to bed we shall have the place to ourselves, and yeu may try your hand on it as much a s you please. " According to this agreement, they did sit them out, but had a longer sitting of it than they reckoned upon ; for the family, expecting Rooke to depart at a rea sonable hour, remained up through courtesy towards him as a guest, until they were fairly tired, and when the conspirators found themselves alone the watch man's hollow voice was bawling twelve. Rooke itn immediately sat down to the instrument. For some moments he seemed, as his friend thought, to be fumbling about, produc;ng no sound; but at last he pressed the keys, and, to the amazement of his sole auditor, played off a succession of chords and m o d e . lations that would not have shamed an experienced professor. " What, in the name of wonder, is all this ?" ex claimed his friend, " have you been humbugging us all this time, pretending that you never played?" " No, indeed," said Rooke, looking up with a proud smile, " I told you nothing but the truth, and I will no w explain to you the whole matter." He then recounted the particulars of his invention, as already given, and they shortly afterwards sepa rated. In tio year 1813 he embraced music as a profes sion, and shortly afterwards became musical director of the Dublin Theatre, in which capacity he continued to act up to the time of his departure for London. At this time he had the honour of introducing Balfe, then a boy of seven years of age, as a violinist to the PI.

M One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un compresing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should ferns an item in the compact; it alone dignities the alliance. Bligkted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

At a Norwich tire June 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were the pets of the public. The cry was, feed the little engines and they will do the work, which proied true. The four large engines present proved useless. Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atmo spheres. Now the fact is this, all former Force rum" Lift-force Pumps, Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines : they rub, grub, and scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young and Hatton, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented thus :—The quantity or water actually raised by any machine seldom exceoCe half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had tried in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects in hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victor} , is won, and won for ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented from twelve to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with out more outlay. - - - Most men can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, but some men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric tion Pump an active sound-winded young an of 140 lbs. weight can raise 11,100 lbs. of water one foot high in a minute, and with a Foun tain Pump 9,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power. John Clenton Roberts, Esq., in his popular work, No. 1,110, did well in placing Gosset's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water upward) side by side with the Fountain Pimp, which upset a good deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump maker, Mr. iladdley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr. Ewbank, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull and Paddy in No. 1,183, and in No. 496, Hook-maker remarks are preposterous. However, on the other hand, Dr. Birk - beck, Aberdour, Day, Parkington, with many other discerning men, after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and susta li able character:—The Fountain Pump is the most important improve ment in the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two thousand years—the greatest advancement in the useful arts in modern times. The Consummation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude, for man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per stroke to 100 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability Is guaranteed at less cost than common pumps.

The half yearly general meeting of proprietors was held yesterday at the company's offices, Villiers -street, Strand; Marttn!Stutely, Esq..iin the chair. The directors' report referred to the failure of the Charing -cross Bridge Company to obtain powers from Parliament to sell the bridge, and to the rescinding of the con tract for sale and purchase thereof, with Messrs. Jackson, Walmsley, and others ; and congratu lated the proprietors on the very satisfactory progfess of the Market Company's affairs; the earnings for the past year, notwithstanding the general depres sion of trade and other drawbacks, enabled the directors to propose an increased dividend. The report was cordially received by the proprietors, a dividend of V. ss. per share was declared; and after a vote of thanks to the Chairman and directors the meeting adjourned. SINGULAR. AND FATAL CAsumzr.—Yesterday, in the I)eacon's•close, Calton-mouth, a soldier of the 71st regiment, named Robert 11PLeod, was found suspended by the head from the head railing of a❑ inide stair. I! appears that deceased had, during the night, failed in procuring admittance into the house of an acquaintance to the land; and that he had lain down on the stair head. Restless in his sleep—slipping through the rail ing—ho had continued moving until his body lost the equilibrium over the stairhead, when, falling, he was caught by the chin by the under rail, and there sus pended within two feet of the ground. The deceased was much respected, and had been away from barrack, on leave. On being discovered, the regimental surgeon was immediately in attendance. A few minutes before the discovery, heavy breathings were heard, but whet, discovered death had completed its work.—Scotch Re former's Gazette, Sl 9 DECEMBER 1, 1847. . . ' Dublin public. While in Dublin, one morning during ' the summer of 1818, his friend called at Rooke's lodgings, and on entering the room found him full of dejection. He addressed him with his usual salute, " IloW are you, Billy ? ' "As well," was the moody answer, "as a man can be at this hour, without his breakfast, and without a farthing in his pocket to pro cure one." The hour was eleven. At the moment of this reply, and as his friend was about to utter some expression of condolence, their eyes were attracted by a light piece of paper, which, fur a few moments, floated over their heads, performing sundry eccentric gyrations in its descent, and finally settling upon the floor. But what was their astonishment at beholding a bank note ! They gazed intently, scarcely believing it a reality, although they could clearly per ceive that its value was thirty shillings. For some minutes they remained motionless, save that their eyes wandered successively from the object of their surprise to various parts of the room, seeking a cause for the coming of so unexpected and welcome a visitor. The apparent mystery, however, was soon cleared up. Some months back Rooke had missed a note of that amount, and supposed it had been stolen. On.the morning of his friend's call,q)aving been seek ing for some manuscript music stowed away in a press near the window (the upper sash of which happened to be down), the note, which it would seem had got amongst his papers, became exposed to a strong cur rent of air, that dislodged it from its place of conceal ment at this critical moment. It may be questioned whether in all its travels, before or since, the said thirty-shilling note ever came to hand more ac ceptably. His career in England is well known. Who has not heard of Amelie, Henrique, andNagliostro ? some of the choicest pieces in which are to be performed at the Hanover-square Rooms to-morrow night, for the benefit of poor Rooke's widow and orphans. Let us hope that the public will second the efforts of Rooke's professional brethren, and that the rooms will be crowded. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. SO. JACKSON V. REECE. The plaintiff in this action, who is an architect and surveyor at Leamington, sought to recover from the de fendant, as a promoter of the Avon and Severn Valley Railway Company, the sum of 1631. 11s., for werk and labour done. The defendant is a solicitor, residing at Birmingham. The plaintiffs evidence was simply to the effect that Mr. Russell, of Leamington, who is also a solicitor, re ceived a communication from the defendant, requesting him to become the local agent for the line, which he con sented to do, and acting in that capacity, he, at the request of the defendant, engaged a number of hands to carry on the survey, and among others the plaintiff, whose ap pointment was approved of by the defendant. Mr. HUMPHREY submitted that this was sufficient proof of the defendant's liability to pay the amount due. Mr. Sergeant BYLES and Mr. CHADWICK JONES sub mitted, on the other hand, that there was no evidence to show that the defendant had acted otherwise than as the solicitor and agent of the company; and that he could not in that capacity be sued for the amount alleged to be due to the plaintiff. The CHIEF JUSTICE was of the same opinion, and ordered a nonsuit to be entered. Plaintiff accordingly nonsuited. BEECHER V. ANDERSON. This was an action for an assault. The plaintiff, it ap pear,d, was a steeple-chase rider, and the defendant a horse-dealer in Piccadilly, and happening to meet at Tattersall's in May last, the defendant asked the plain tiff to follow him aside, as he wished to say something to him (the plaintiff ). They were then seen by a little boy, who appeared as a witness, to come with a third person round a corner in the lane leading into Tatter sall's. The third person soon after left, and the boy then saw some conversation going on, in the course of which he heard the defendant say " Youcannotsay that I am indebted to any one," and.then saw him knock the plain tiff down, and, whilst down, kick him under the eye and cause much bin xl to flow. The defendant afterwards drove the plaintiff to another part of the lane, and again knocked him down. They were subsequently separated by the person who came out of the yard with them in the first instance and had by that ',time returned. For the plaintiff another witness (a reporter for Bell's Life) was examined. He described the plaintiff as a well known steeple-chase rider, who had contrived at different periods to break most of his limbs, a►:d further proved that on the Ist of July last he had some talk with the de fendant about the plaintiff and some articles in the publi cation called the Saiiri , t, which the defendant thought the plaintiff had written, and the defendant then told him that he (the defendant) had met the plaintiff at Tatter ball's and had given him a - thrashing. For the defendant a Mr. Mason, the foreman to a horse dealer, was called, and it appeared that he was the third person alluded to by the boy examined for the plaintiff. This witness said that he was present all the time ; that the matter commenced by the defendant's threatening, if he were sure of the plaintiff's having been the cause of his (defendant's) name appearing in the Satirist, to give the plaintiff a good " licking ;" that the plaintiff thereupon said (at the same time putting him self in a fighting attitude, and striking at the defendant), "If that be what you mean, come on;" upon which a fight ensued, and the plaintiff was knocked down. The witness then added that he did not see the defendant kick the plaintiff when down, nor could he tell whether or not the plaintiff struck the defendant in the first in stance. Ile, however, saw the plaintiff bleeding when he got up. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up the whole case to the jury, telling them that if they thought the plain tiff had committed the first assault the detendant would be entitled to their verdict; but if otherwise, then they would consider what reasonable amount of damages the plaintiff was entitled to. The jury almost immediately returned a ♦erdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 50/. &Ir. Sergeant Allen and Mr. Phipson conducted the plaintiff's case, and Mr. James that of the defendant. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman Gums.) Anne Simons, who was on Monday convicted of stealing goods of the value of 2501., the property of her masters, Marshall and Stinton, of Vere-street, Oxford-street, was yesterday again put upon her trial for stealing 100 handkerchiefs, 12 scarfs, 15 shawls, 34 pairs of gloves, 140 yards of ribbon, 400 yards of silks and satins, 120 yards of lace, and other articles, value 5002, the property of the same firm. Benjamin Simons, aged 56, victualler, father of Anne, was indicted for feloniously receiving the same, knowing them to be stolen. The Attorney-General, Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Bodkin conducted the prosecution ; and the prisoner was de fended.by Mr. Hurlstone. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case, 'and called Mr. Marshall, who stated that after the discovery of the stolen property in Lincoln's Inn-fields, the subject of the trial yest er d a y, h e rece i ve d inf ormat i on f rom Ell en Simons, daughter of the male and sister of the female pri soner,in consequence of which he went down to Benjamin's house, the Harp and Hand, near Market Harborough. Ms told him that his name was Marshall, and that he had come down about a hair trunk. Simons replied that he knew no one of that name. Upon which witness ob served, he must know that his daughter was in custody for robbing Mr. Marshall, her employer. Prisoner said he knew nothing about it. Witness asked him to pro duce a hair trunk tliat was left in his back bed. room by his daughter Ellen, and of which the key had been sent down to prisoner by her since the sister was in custody. He persisted in saying he knew nothing about it. Witness procured a constable and a warrant to search the house. They found several articles of female apparel and some new linen, which he recognised as the property of his firm. Upon the most diligent search, the hair trunk could not be found, and in the meantime the prisoner continued taunting and jeering witness. Witness said he had enough against Simons to transport hint, and then ordered the men who drove him over from Market Harborough to put up the horse, as he would stop all night. He desired the constable to take the prisoner into custody. But Simons then offered to give him up the trunk if no further pro ceedings would be taken against him, and ultimately he took the constable to the barn, in the roof of which, eight feet from the ground, was the trunk. The pri soner produced the key, which he said had been sent down by his daughter Ellen—that he had never opened the trunk, and that it had not been opened since January last, when his daughter was there. When the trunk was examined, however, London newspapers, only a few days old, were found in it, as well as property which had but recently been stolen. Next day witness applied to the magistrates, who sent for Simons, when the latter said he would give up another largo trunk, containing so much of Mr. Marshall's property " as would satisfy him to let him, the prisoner, oft." The magistrates said they would allow no such thing, and ordered Simons to produce the other trunk. It proved to be a very large oak chest, and with its contents was as much as two strong men could carry. In answer to the RECORDER, the witness said the articles were all of great value. The contents of the oak chest had been examined, and were estimated at 4001 : The witness here became much agitated and burst into tears. The Judge requested him to retire for a while to recover himself. The cross-examination by Mr. Prendergast (for the male prisoner) elicited nothing particular. Thomas Jessop, constable, of Cumley, near Market Harborough, confirmed Mr. Marshall's evidence. The prisoner had always borne a good character. Evans, porter to the prosecutors, had taken the hair trunk in question from their house, by direction of Ann Simons, about the middle of July. He delivered it to Ellen Simons, prisoner's sister. Ellen Simons confirmed that evidence, and said that she took the trunk down to her father's at her sister's rewst. She never knew what it contained. On the Thursday after Anne's being taken into custody, her brother Nicholas was in town, and witness gave him the key of the oak chest, with instructions from her sister Anne to give it to her father. This statement was con firmed by Nicholas bimons. In the remainder of the evidence for the prosecution there was nothing material. Mr. HURLSTONE briefly addressed the jury for the pris,iner Ann ; and Mr. PRENDERGAST, at some length, defended the father, contending that there was no evidence whatever to show that when he took charge of the trunk and box for his daughter he knew that they contained stolen pro perty; and that the second charge of being an accessory after the fact was not legally supported by the evidence. That charge could not stand in law, unless it was proeed that be had done something to harbour and comfort the principal criminal. He had no opportunity of doing these things, as she was one hundred miles away from him when he learned that she was guilty— that is, when he was said to become an accessory. The Learned Gentleman called several witnesses who gave the wale prisoner a good character. The RECORDER summed up, and the jury, at half-past Eve o'c!ock, returned a verdict of Guilty against both )risoners, but recommended the father to mercy on ac count of his previous good character. Mr. BODKIN, for the prosecution, joined in the re commendation. The RECORDER sentenced Ann Simons to be trans ported for fourteen years, that sentence not to be in ad dition to that passed on her last ,night, but to commence and terminate at the same time. He sentenced the father to imprisonment for eighteen months with hard labour. FORGERY OF RAILWAY SCRIP. Mr. HUDDLESTONE said his Lordship would no doubt recollect that at the last January sessions a person named West was convicted of forging 300 railway scrip receipts. On that trial the prisoner's counsel took a legal objection to the indictment, viz , that scrip certifi cates were not instruments of a nature on which a charge of forgery could be sustained, and the judges had now decided in favour of that objectirn. Shortly after the trial of West. another person, named William Farmery, vi as indicted for being an accomplice in the offence, and placed at the bar for trial. He pleaded not guilty. The trial, however, was postponed, and the party, after four months' imprisonment, ad mitted to bail. He (Farmery) now appeared in court, and wished to retract his plea of not guilty, and plead guilty. The Learned Counsel said he was instructed to inform his Lordship that since the transaction occurred in which the defendant had been engaged, he had done all in his power to repair the injury that he had in flicted ; he sold his freehold and other property, and paid every claimant 12s. in the pound. Mr. CLARKSON, who, with Mr. Bodkin, appeared for the railway company, did not object to the defendant withdrawing his, plea; they bad ascertained he had paid 12s. in the pound on all the forged scrip. The plea of Not Guilty having been withdrawn, and a plea of Guilty entered, The RECORDER inquired if the defendant was in a condition to pay a fine? Mr. HUDDLESTONE—NO, my Lord; he has sold all his property. The RECORDER told the defendant that he had pleaded guilty of a gross offence, for which, if the judges had not held an opinion that railway scrip was an instrument on which forgery could not be assigned, he should have felt it his duty to have passed a severe sentence of transportation. There were, however, some extenuating circumstances in this case, and therefore the sentence of the Court was imprisonment for fifteen months in the Compter. The defendant said he was no scholar and ignorant o the transaction at the time he submitted to it. He evi. dently appeared much surprised at the sentence. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Jane Fuirfull, a woman of about thirty years of age. residing in Widegate alley, Bishopsgate, was charged with having attempted to throw halt a pint of vitriol in the face of Mr. Lewis, the landlord of the Cathe rine Wheel public house, in Catherine Wheel-alley, Bishopsgate. Mr. Lewis stated that she came to his bar yesterday and asked to see Mrs. Lewis; and being told she was ill in bed, she asked to see his daughter, Mrs. Samuels. She also could not be seen; and the prisoner then came into the kitchen where he was sitting, and threw the contents of a mng at him, saying, •' Now you have got it—it's vitriol!" The liquid went over his clothes and splashed in his face. Hearing it was vitriol, he instantly wiped the spots off his face with his handkerchief, which was burnt i❑ holes by the poison. He had a child by her twelvo years ago, and ho did not wish to be hard with her. lie lost sight of her for nine years, and in the interim she had been living with somebody, and had had another child. He had not renewed the ac quaintance, and she wished to extort money from him. Her last application was for 21., and an annuity for life, which he would not listen to, as he had a wife and five children. The prisoner replied, that th.y first met at Margate, eleven years ago, and he visited her at her father's, as a single man, and seduced her. She had a son by him, 10 y ears of age, and her friends turned their backs upon her. He endeavoured to induce her, but without suc cess, to take medicine to procure a miscarriage, and a Dr. Myers was to have 104 for the medicine. After lying-in she received 535. from him, and saw no more of him till she met him by accident last Saturday. She supported herself by needle work for three years, and then married, but her husband died four years ago, and she was now in great distress. When she met him he said ho was sorry to see her in such distress, and promised to pay for the education of his son, and to do a little for her. She could not see him again, and she was provoked by the manner in which his daughters had treated her. Sir P. LltiniE asked why she had purchased the vi triol? She replied, she intended to take it herself, but she was so provoked by the treatment she received at the complainant's house, that she altered her pur pose. The complainant said, it was false that he had seduced her, or attempted to procure a miscarriage. He met with her at Margate, and she knew he had his wife and children there. Nothing took place between them there, but he told her he was going to Brighton, and she followed him there, came to his lodging and asked for him, and the unfortunate connexion took place. He never lived with her, and he had great reason to doubt whether he was really the father of the child. He be lieved he was not. Sir PETER asked if the boy had not a Jew's face ? Mr. Lewis said it had not the countenance of a Jew's child. It was a serious attack that she had now made, but he did not wish her to be committed for trial. He wished her to keep the peace. . _ The defendant said she also required protection. He had declared that day that she should not be alive 24 hours hence. Mr. Lewis said he had made no such threat. Sir P. LAURIE did not believe he had used such a threat. People who meant to do mischief did not first put their victims on their guard. As the matter stood between the parties the woman appeared to be the most injured. Her character and prospects had been ruined. When seduction was the beginning mischief was almost sure to overtake the seducer in the end. Mr. Lewis emphatically denied that he had seduced her. He was willing to help her when she was in dis tress. He would give her 4s. now, and he would give her a little silver again if she needed it, and sent to him instead of coming herself. She accepted this offer, and she was discharged on her promise to keep the peace. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Carl Esmann, a foreigner, wearing moustaches, was charged with having obtained goods and money by falsely representing himself to be one of the librarians of the British Museum. Mr. Horsley attended for Mr. Smith, of Holloway, and Mr. Lewis for Mr. Poncey, of 47, Great Russell street. Mr. Smith said he became acquainted with the pri soner some time ago, and he had at various times lent the prisoner money, to the extent of 581. He had been induced to lend this money on the representation of Es mann that he held a situation as librarian in the British Museum. About a fortnight ago Esmann called on him at Holloway, and asked him for a loan of 101. He felt reluctant to advance any more money, and de termined at first to refuse the request. The following day he called at 47, Groat Russell-street, and found the prisoner in a room with Poncey. Prosecutor had with him one volume of Chambers' Cyclopeedia, of which work he had just purchased the whole sot. Es mann looked at the book, and remarked to Poncey that it would do for the museum. Esmann said that two of the volumes of " Chambers' Cyclopcedia " in the library of the Museum had been destroyed by rats, and he of fered to buy prosecutor's copy for the Museum. A bar gain was struck and the volume given over to ESMIton, in the belief that Esmann was librarian at the British Museum. Prosecutor also gave the prisoner Esmann 71. 10s. in money, on receiving Esniann's assuran ce was present confirmed. n that e he was librarian, a statement which Poncey , w ho in Wi tness a fterwards made a m i n ute of the conversation that lied occ urred at this interv i ew, the sEmsmonaenyn and books. a day or two after receiving Mr. HORSLEY—Was it on the faith of the joint re presentation of Esmann and Poncey that you let Esmann have the money and the books ? Mr. Smith—lt was. I told Poncey I could not let Esmann have any more money unless I was first assured that Esmann really filled the post of one of the librarians of the British Museum. Poncey said that Esmann held that situation. Previously, I had left twelve book of "Beauty's Costume" until I had l e i sure to call for them. I never got all the books back again. Esmann said he had taken them, but he did not say what he had done with them. Air.Bn, GRAM asked if the librarian that Esmann of the B r iti s h Museum was pre sen t , to prove sann had never held the appoi n t ment h e said he enjoy ed?

Mr. Horsley said there was another case in which Esmann got from a Mr. Carr furniture of the value of 351. under exactly similar circumstances. Mr. BINGHAM—That case can come on at the next examination, as I feel that Poncey has been taken by surprise, and ought to have some little time given to him. Mr. Horsley—Poncey told Mr. Smith that Esmann and himself were going to live at the British Museum, as there were seven rooms set apart for Esmann at the Druseum. Esmann was remanded, and Poncey was released on bail. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Nor. 30.)

Reynolds, Esq., treasurer, in the chair. The secretary read the report of the council, from which it appeared that 32 members had been elected since the last anniversary, and that the soci e ty now consisted of 212 members. Great exertions had been used by the society to obtain. the most valuable plants (both British and foreign), which had been attended with the greatest success, and it was stated that they would be distributed to the mem bers at the ensuing distribution of the society's dupli cates. The report was unanimously adopted, after which a ballot took place for the council for the ensuing year, when J. E. Gray, Esq., F.R.S., was re-elected president, and J. Idiers, Esq., F.R.S., and E. Doubleday, Esq,,, F.L.S., &c., were nominated vice-presidents. The meet— ing was very fully attended ,wis--It is. Mr. tith was recalled, and desired to state minutely the IN iculars whi c h cecurre d at the i nterv i ew w i th Pont . and Esm ann i n G reat Russell-street, when he .seld'the books and gave the money to Esmann. Mr. Smith said that he sold the books for 305., Esmann representing that they would do for the Museum, and Poncey assented to this representation. Poncey positively assured him that Esmann had a situation in the British Museum, as librarian in the foreign depart ment. Poncey had frequently before stated the same thing, and had further told him that the salary wes 2001. a year. It was owing to these representations that pro secutor parted with the books and the money. Mr. Lewis—ls this the extent of your loss in conse quence, as you allege of the false representations of Poncey? Mr. Smith—No ; there are other things. Air. Le•eis said he was ready to admit, on the pa r t of his client, Poncey, that he did tell Mr. Smith that Esmann had a situation in the British Museum. Esmann had deceived Poncey in that respeet. Mr. BINGHAM—I take it, that is Ponee:v's defence. Puncey says he was imposed upon by the prisoner Esmann. That may be so, but that is the defence, and he must submit it to a jury. If Poncey makes his defence in sincerity and truth, the jury will believe him. Mr. Lev - vis—But he makes this defence to you, and surely you will not bold him in custody on the evidence ❑ow betbre you? Mr. BINGHAM —lf he makes his denial in the strongest possible manner, I shall assuredly commit him for trial. Mr. Lewis—May I ask on what grounds? Mr. Bizicrwr—On the clear statement of Mr. Smith, for assisting Esmann to obtain goods and money by false pretences. Mr. Lewis—Will you commit a respectable man, who comes forward to make a charge against the very party with whom he is said to be acting? Mr. BINGRAM.—The prisoner Poncey, according to the evidence, has either recklessly vouched for the truth of Esmann's statement, or else he has been a partici pator in the frauds. As to the suggestion that Poncey did not know Esmann was not in the British Museum - , as Poncey lived close to the Museum, he could have ascertained the truth in a minute. Poncey did not do so, and, therefore, he must either have been a confede rate, or have acted with great recklessness. Poncey must take the consequences of his own acts. Mr. Le'+.;•--The prisoner Esmann still says he was engaged at the Museum. Mr. BING/TAM—That you will have an opportunity of proving before a jury. Mr. Lewis—Pray do let us look a little at this case. Mr. BINGHAM—Go on; I invite you to proceed. Mr. Lewis—Then I say there is absolutely no evi dence on which you can feel justified in remanding the defendant Poncey. Esmann told him he was engaged at the Museum. Poncey believed it. Poncey has lost 130/. worth of property by Esmann. Poncey has lived for thirteen years in the same house, and his character is unimpeachable. Mr. BlliGnem—l am not pronouncing an opinion as to Poncey's guilt or innocence. I only say that, from the statement on oath, there are grounds to remand Poncey, and for anything I can at present see, to commit him for trial. A t present I shall call on him to Sod good bail for his appearance here at the next exami nation. raven rday East ma- gra you lato aade iy be been OP U p late fully town i by The the ived ,t, ii WO oge eV ' oar had ertY, e 01 the The rote and 1 of a nd a sad or be io of
