No other cases of any importance were heard by the Court during the morning. Mr O RSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Charles Coggan, a mechanic was charged with oru tally assaulting a marr i e d female named Sarah Ray, in the public street. Mrs. Ray stated that she was proceeding along Shoreditch last evening at about five o'clock, when she observed the defendant, struggling to release himself from his friend and as he did so he ran and gave her such a blow in the breast as to knock her violently against the wall, and, he would have repeated the blow, but for the interference of his friend. She had bet given him the slightest provocation or said a word to hi,. The complainant here exhibited a black mark upon her bosom of the size of a large penny Piece, and which she said gave her great pain. The defendant said he was very sorry for what he had done. It was very seldom he drunk more than 'as necessary ' and when he did so it greatly aff ec t e d his head. Mr. HAMMILL, the sitting magistrate, said that that flvas the very reason he should have for refraining from excess. His conduct had been brutal in the extreme, He (Mr. llammill) would suffer him to retire in order that he may have an opportunity of milling the poor woman proper compensation. One Q ' r " the officers (Alderman) quickly returned, and inti mated to the magistrate that the defendant had offered t he complainant ss. as a liberal compe ns ati on f or th e injuries he had inflicted. Mr. HAMMILL—Twenty shillings would have been "We enough. A fine of 21. or three weeks' impri suutnent will be inflicted. This appeared to have the desired effect, as in a very short time the magi s t ra t e w ee informed that the desired compensation was forth ecinaing, THAMES.—(THIS DAY.) Charles Nicholson, a very respectably dressed Young man was charged on suspicion of having stolen a chequ e for 71. 55., the property of Mr. West, brass founder, Commercial-road. It appeared, that on the 21st of August last, Mr. ,n r est received a ch eque f or 71. s s . d rawn on M essrs. 4artin, Stone, and Co, 68, Lombard-street, from .Mr. Hazeltine, engineer, Stratford, in payment for some castings he had made for that gentleman. On the same night Mr. West's house was broken open, and a great deal of property abstracted, amongst Which was the cheque in question. Mr. West proceeded the next morning to Lombard-street, and stopped payment of the cheque, which was not presented till between three and four o'clock yes terday afternoon. M. W. Stone, cashier to Messrs. Martin, Stone, and Co., attended and identified the prisoner as the party who had presented the cheque for payment. When informed that the cheque was a stolen one, and that payment thereof had been con sequently stopped, he appeared very confused and said he had picked it up in the street. He was immediately given into custody. Police -constable K 228, said Mr. West was not then in attendance, but if the prisoner was remanded there was good reason to suppose that some light Would be thrown on the burglary which had been Committed on the 21st of August. The prisoner was remanded accordingly. COURT CIRCULAR.

" She is lovely,' he murmured. She is well named the Rose of the World, indeed!' " And may I not paint one like it for you?' " Cui bono? No.' Jane, who is poor and dependent, wishes to obtain some employment, and St. John offers her a very humble one, the direction of an obscure village school. But, insignificant as the situation seems, the sublime and beautiful sentiments in which the proffer is made at once elevate it to its true position. " Since lam myself poor and obscure," he says, " I can offer you but a service of poverty and obscurity. You may even think it degrading, for your habits are what the world calls refined, your tastes lean to the ideal ; but I consider that no service degrades that can better our race. I hold that the more arid and un reclaimed the soil where the Christian labourer's task of tillage is appointed him, the scantier the meed his toil brings, the higher the honour. This, under such circumstances, is the destiny of the pioneer, and the first pioneers of the Gospel were the Apostles —their captain was Jesus the Redeemer him self." Were it not, as we have said, for his sternness and coldness, both external and internal, St. John Rivers presents an almost perfect character, bearing some resemblance, in his contempt of worldly conventionalities, in his self-denial and relinquishment of earthly affections, to these Christian heroes of former times who earned the appellation of saints ; yet, perhaps, if we come to compare them closely, one great diffe rence is perceptible. St. John, good Christian though he was, appears to have triumphed over his affections rather by the force of an indomitable self command—by a vigorous effort uprooting earthly passion from his heart, while, on the contrary, with those to whom we have compared him, the light of the human love was not annihilated by extinction, but rendered powerless by the superior radiance of the divine—as the stars shine always, yet are in visible in the daylight. We have lingered too long over the character of St. John, but it forms in many respects a most interesting study, and in some, per haps, an excellent example. Various adventures befal Jane Eyre ; she of course again meets Mr. Rochester, but under most melancholy circum stances—he is blind. This bereavement, while it grieves her to the heart, naturally increases her affection, and the account of her tender attention and playful attempts to restore him to cheerfulness, are necessarily interesting. But we need follow her fortunes no further; and we may conclude as we commenced, by observing that, notwithstanding its imperfections—and it has many—the " Autobio graphy of Jane Eyre" is full of interest. LITERATURE. JANE EYRE. An Autobiography. Edited by Currer Bal. Three Vols. Whatever the blemishes or imperfections of this wor k —and what work in three volumes is quite free from them ?—it is certainly full of interest and not deficient in originality, qualities which—for a novel especially —are no small recommendation. Its interesting character is, to a certain extent, to be attributed to its form; a biography—and especially an autobiography —must necessarily, unless ill-arranged and ill-nar rated, possess some peculiar points of attraction. Generalization destroys interest; the more our powers of observation are concentrated the greater is the pleasure and the benefit that we derive from them. Whatever were the ill effects of what has been called the "star-system" upon the stage, by which the chief interest of a play was concentrated in the person of its hero, it is certain that the pleasure of the audience, for the time being, was in nowise di minished by the practice. On the contrary, be coming peculiarly interested in an individual, they took an almost personal concern in everything con nected with him and his affairs. Some such sentiments are experienced by the readers of biographies; they become for the time personally associated with those whose fortunes they are, in imagination, following, and they are naturally dis posed to sympathise with emotions of which they are constituted as it were the sole confidantes. • Being an autobiography, then, the history of Jane Eyre pos sesses these attractive qualities, and they are consi derably enhanced by the very natural and simple manner in which the various adventures are narrated, and the very vigorous way in which feelings and passions are portrayed. But perhaps the characte ristic which is most deserving of commendation is the very admirable delineation and nice discrimina tion of character which it reveals. Jane Eyre, the heroine, is of course drawn at full length, but most of the minor personages (as is natural in a biography) are merely sketched ; these sketches are, however, of that kind in which every line tells, and in which a few strokes convey as perfect a resemblance as the most elaborate portrait. Some portions of the tale are not of a very pleasing character, and many, very many, of the incidents are most unnatural. The story, more over, as a whole has no definite object, it lays down no main principle, carries out no one idea; as we have said, it is not without imperfections. Never theless, if it aim after no particular object, it cer tainly attains a not unimportant one—namely, the en tertainment of the reader during its perusal ; and if it have no one great principle it view, it contains many sublime and beautiful thoughts, and inculcates some most ennobling sentiments. If many of the incidents of the tale are unnatural, that fault is in some degree TRIAL BY JURY. atoned for by th e i r nove l ty.

They had remembered their trot her reformers who had suffered in Scotland; and there was yet one other thing they had to do, and that svas , not to forget the principle for which the men whose- et temories they had that night celebrated were ready t o suffer the se verest penalty of the law, rather than s, le it violated. That principle was enunciated by the cl iairtnan when he proposed the "Sovereignty of the People." It had been often upheld by the Gal la nt Chairman upon platforms and in his place in the 1 louse of Com mons. He was proud to think that the s .Hon.

The CHAIRMAN briefly expressed his acknowledg ments for the compliment conferred u pon him, and assured the company that he was alway s happy to be present on occasions of that kind, w. den the real principles of public liberty were to be, upheld and supported. Thanks having been given to the sb3wards, the company retired, evidently much grr tified at the proceedings of the evening. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. The monthly meeting of this club on 'Thursday, at the Piazza Hotel, Covent-garden, was most nume rously attended by members, it hay in g been very generally understood that some ditv ission would take place with respect to the charge of smuggling against le Due de Stackpoole, a mem t ler o f t h e c l u b , whose yacht, the Gipsy Queen, had been seized by the officers of Customs. After the disposal of some routine bf 1: sines!, Lord ALFRED PAGET (the Commodore) expressed his desire to hear the opini ons of any guitleman upon the matter. He understood a member of the club had been charged with some violation of the law, and wished to hear the views that the ;members pre sent took. Several gentlemen said a few words. They, one and all; agreed that, pending an inquiry by the pro per authorities into the matter, any proceeding on their part would be premature, but that, if the accused party were fbund guilty, they would express the indignation which gentlemen of a club of the character of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, whose dignity had been compromised, should evince. Lord ALFRED PAGET th4l proposed the following motion :—" That the club deeply regret that, through the medium of the press, they have heard that a member has been acc use d of breaking the laws of his country. They sincerely hop e suc h ma y no t b e th e case, nor will they p ass any censure until the laws have found him guilt y. Should such unfortunately be the case, they will n o t l ose the f i rst opportun i ty of expressing their indignation that any have so acted." It was carried u nan i mously. member should Royal Board of Trade and Customs, Copenhagen, 9th October, 1847. At Spotsbjerg, on the east side of the entrance to Isefiord, in 55 deg. 58 min. 35 sec. north latitude, and 11 deg. 51 min. 50 sec. east longitude, a fixed sideral light will be exhibited, placed in a light house 10 feet from the ground, and 120 feet above the level of the sea.

ASTLEY'S ROYAL ' AMPHITHEATRE.—A new grand military spectacle, entitled The Camp of Silesia, founded on the libretto of Meyerbeer's celebrated opera, is to be produced here on Monday evening. The play is written by Mr. J. H. Stocqueler, and the spectacle is produced under the superintendence of Mr. W. West. Report speaks highly of the gorgeoucness and magnificence with which this drama has been placed upon the stage, and great success may be confidently anticipated. His EXCELLENCY M. JAMES BROOS.E.—In addi tion to other marks of appreciation which will be con ferred by her Majesty upon the enterprising Englishman who has done so much for the interests of his country during his residence in Borneo, the Meander, of 44 guns, commissioned at Chatham on Monday last by Lieutenant Reed, late of the Asia, and to be commanded by the Hon. Henry Keppel, late of the Dido, 18 guns, recently returned from service in the Chinese seas, will convey his Excellency, Governor James Brooke, to Borneo, the scene of his former labours, in the early part of next year, and remain at that station, to assist him in pro tecting the interests of Great Britain in that quarter of the world. Several of the parties who served in the Dido have applied to the Admiralty for permission to serve in the Meander, under their former gallant com mander; and it is expected that she will be ready for sea and leave this country for Borneo early in l'ebruary next.

PORTSMOUTU, Nov. 5.--The Sharpshooter iron ;un boat of 489 tons, and a screw propeller of 202 horse power, built on lines by Fincham, at Blackwall last year, was hauled alongside this jetty this morning, to be immediately rigged and prepared for commis sion by the dockyard hands. The Bellerophon, 78, Captain Baynes, is getting on very well with her fitment and manning. She now only wants about 130 to complete her crew. It is highly creditable to both officers and men in this ship, that up to this time not one man has " run." Desertion generally prevails to a great extent in ships fitting out. The orders for the Terrible steam frigate to proceed to Sheerness to refit have been countermanded, boilermakers having been sent from London to make the necessary repairs at this port. The Virago steam sloop, Commander Lunn, arrived to•day from the Mediterranean. She left Gibraltar on Saturday last, direct for Spithead. She has he( n four years and seven months in commission, and v. ill now be paid off at Woolwich. The Asia, 84, Captain R. P. Stopford, and the Satellite, 18, Commander R. H. B. Rowley, are hourly expected here ; the former from Sheerners, the latter from Plymouth. In Harbour—Victory, Excellent, Victoria and Al bert, Bellerophon, and Recruit; Terrible, Sidon, Lightning, Fairy, Myrtle, and Echo steamers ; Blenheim, and Maria Somes, transports.

Charles Graham, from the East Indies, is ordered to be paid off at this port, without any of her bulkheads or internal fittings being removed. The Bonetta brigantine, and Sealark, 10 guns, in dock, were both finished in their coppering up to their loadwater line.

Swedish and Norwegian Consulate-General, 2, Crosby-square, Nov. 4, 1847. Sir,—l have the honour to communicate to you the following translation of an ordinance issued by the Royal Navy Board at Stockholm, on Sept. 24, 1847 : "The Royal Navy Board hereby makes know► n, for the information of mariners, the following publi cation regarding the lighthouses at Faron and Ystad, viz. : " Ist. The lighthouse on the N. E. point, or the Holm point, on Faron, referred to in the ordinance of the 16th of April last, has been built during the sum mer, and will be lighted about the latter half of the month of October, of the present year. As a differ ence between the light house on the island of Oster garn, east of Gottland, this new one will be revolving, and will give four equally strong lustres, of about thirty seconds each, during a period of eight minutes, with a minute and a hairs darkness between each lustre. The light will be visible in every direction from north to east and to south-west, and can be seen from aship's deck in clear weather at a distance of 33- geographical miles. "2nd. In place of the lanterns at Ystad, hitherto only lighted on certain occasions, there have been built two light-houses, provided with sideral lamps. The larger one, or the one furthest in the harbour, will have a common white lustre, fifty-two feet ab ove th e level of th e sea, and will be visible from W.N.W. to S. to E.N.E., and can be seen at a distance of from two to three miles during clear weather. The lesser and outer light-house is erected on the farthest end of the west pier of the harbour, is twenty feet above the level of the sea ; and, to distinguish it from the greater light-house, as well as from the lights of the houses of the town, has a red lustre visible all round the horizon, at a distance of about one to one-and-a-half geographical miles. This light-house, on entering the harbour, must be taken close on the larboard tack. The bearings of these light-houses from each other is N.E. by N. and S.W. by S., and the distance between them is 1451 feet.

SurstArt,—To-day the raw Sugar market presented a healthy appearance: all parties were desirous to operate, prices advanced, and supplies were small. West India Muscovado of all qualities was in excellent demand, 890 hhds and tres finding buyers; the rates paid are 6d, and in some cases Is per cwt above those of Friday last. The total sales for the week amount to 3,100 hhds and trcs. Thepublic sales held to-day were small. The market for Sugar of all kinds closes with an improving appearance. A public sale of 120 hhds of Barbadoes is declared for Tuesday. REFINED.—To-day prices were firm for refined goods, and the demand was active—Standard lumps at 53s to 53s 6d, and brown grocery 52s 6d to 535. For Bonded crushed Sugar the demand is active for exportation, chiefly at 28s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign Sugar, but a good business was concluded privately, and the rates paid were rather above those that prevailed previously. A cargo of Porto Rico sold at 18s 6d to 19s, and 500 chest s b rown an d yellow Bahia 173 to 19s per cwt. MAURITIIIS.—This afternoon the demand was active fur Al:turitius Sugar privately ; 2,897 bags 466 casks were offered st auction ; about 500 bags were withdrawn, and the remainder sold briskly at an advance on former rates of 6d to is per cwt ; fine yellow fetched 41s 6d, good 37s 6d to 395, middling 36s to 375, very low and ordinary brown 25s 6d to 28s 6d, mid 29s to 29s 6d, fine 32s to 333 6d, sugar drainage damaged and washed 29s 64 to 40s, and syruppy 29s 6d to 41s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 1,098 bags of Bengal Sugar were sold at the full value, viz. good middling white Benares 445, low 41s 6d to 425, damp and washed 41$ 6d to 42s 6d per cwt. Madras was sought after, and stiffer rates were offered. Of Khaur Bengal 8,000 bags were sold in the private market, at 29s 3d. MoLesass.—For West India of all sorts the market continues in a dull state, and prices are on the decline. A parcel of good Antigua has been sold at 13s per cwt. Bengal Treacle is little wanted, and 17s to 18s is the value. Cocos.—West India is offered rather under former rates, but buyers have operated with reluctance on all kinds, and the supply is more than sufficient for the de mand. Of 700 bags of Trinidad offered at auction, a part only sold : good grey 42s to 42s 6d, middling 40s to 41s, good red 43s to 455. In Foreign there has been little passing privately, and 460 bags of Bahia at auction were taken in at 39s for fine bright red. A further fall it is expected will take place in the value of all kinds of Cocoa, as there is a plentiful stock here. COFFEE.—This afternoon Plantation Ceylon was in good demand, and 670 bags 24 casks at auction all sold at an advance on former rates of 2s to 3s—good coloury fetched 63s to 655, middling 52s 6d to 56s 6d, low middling 49s to 50s 6d, fine fine ordinary 46s 6d to 465 6d, fine ordinary 43s to 43s 6d, good ordinary 41s to 42s 6d, triage 31s, and damaged 32s 6d to 465, very low ditto 15s to 15s 6d. Native met with increased atten tion, and 1,434 bags all found buyers at very low rates —good ordinary 32s 6d to 335, real good ordinary 33s to 33s 6d, and damaged 2is 6d to 31s 6d. For auction, 3,700 bags 200 casks Plantation Ceylon and 50 casks 200 barrels Jamaica are declared. TEA.—There is no improvement to notice in the value of Congou, but the low rates that exist induced the home trade to be more inclined to do business, and they have taken several parcels of all qualities ; indeed, the business concluded has been greater than daring the last few weeks. The rates accepted have been—low qua lity 7fd to Bd, good common Sid to Bid, mid and but mid 9d to lid, good strong black leaf ls to is 2d, fine and Pekoe flavour, is is 3d to is 7d; upon these terms there is, however, a desire on the part of holders to sell. Souchong met with little attention, and is off er to ed a at fa B i d sr to Is 2d for ordinary and middling, and at Is 3d to 3s 2d in green, fair 2d for good to fine.

Goidney, under 3i sheriff for Wilts, to ascertain in what amount the I Messrs. Brodie, bankers at Salisbury, were indebted N to the Crown for moneys deposited on account of the Salisbury Savings Bank, the staff officer and Pen sioners, and the Excise. The UNDER Startup, after reading the writs, stated that the present proceedings were instituted for % the purpose of enabling the officers of the Crown to attach the property of the bank in liquidation of the claims immediately. Proofs were put in, showing that a sum of 873/. ss. 2d. had been paid into the bank on account of the Salisbury Savings Bank, another sum of 5481. on account of the Excise department, and a further sum of 981. 12s. 4. on account of the staff officer, for the payment of Pensioners. The UNDER SHERIFF stated to the jury that pro perty to the following amount had been seized, that there were no available securities y€t found, that there was no land nor buildings likely to benefit the estate, all appearing to be either mortgaged, or secured on life annuities : Notes 2 nd good cheques . . £1,601 15 5 Old gold 56 0 0 Shop stock at W.

'.Chis day a large mill has been taken posse:sion of by the sheriff, and a stationer's shop, conducted by Mr. Hearn, at the corner of Catherine-street, has also been closed this morning, in which Mr. Brodie had the principal share. The jury had each 3s. awarded them, which they unanimously agreed should be given to a poor man who has been thirty years a servant of ➢lr. W. Brodie's, and everything in money he postesses is in the notes of that bank—himself in the last stage of consumption, he having a wife and seven children, four of them at the present moment lying ill of a dan gerous fever. s SU o u O T BA T m p H T () A N 1 V I I , R P , D T A ON ELECTION. y ..___Las toleiing.upvv,ards of 800 inhabitants and electors of this borough, support ers of the Liberal cause, assembled at the Victoria Rooms, to celebrate the return of Messrs. Cockburn and Willcox at the late general election. The bo rough of Southampton had for many years past been represented by Conservatives, and although many attempts had been made at various times to return Liberal candidates, those attempts were never successful till the last election, when, on account of the care with which the registration had been attended to by the Liberal party, the Conservatives who were the former members, namely, Messrs. Hope and Mildmay, retired from the contest, leaving the Liberal candidates, Messrs. Cockburn and Willcox, in undisputed possession of the field. A tri umph so complete has given a fresh impetus to the Liberal cause in this town, and there can be little doubt that henceforth the support it will receive, will render the return of popular candidates at future elections a matter of certainty. The ;victory gained for the first time by the Liberal party, in the recently contested muni cipal elections, also served to put them in good spirits, and contributed very materially to the interest and enthusiasm of yesterday's demonstration. Mr. Cockburn arrived in the town by special train about three o'clock, and was warmly received by his friends and supporters, who met him at the station. In court. pliment to Mr. Willcox, who is extensively engaged in the shipping trade, flags were flying from all th e vessels on the Southampton waters, and dinners took Mr. Anderson-, place on board many of them, to celebrate the Hon. Lankester, Member's return to Parliament. The dinner took i o 7: p i l s c o o n x , , m pl .. p P ~ mr place at the Victoria-rooms, a spacious building at the end of the High-street, and was presided over by Richard Andrews, Esq , who was supported by Mr. m . p., Cockburn, itir .

I n accordance with the recommenda tion of this commission, they adopted Highton's Patent Gold Leaf Telegraph ; and the practical working of it gives them the highest satisfaction. Professor Eisenlohr of Carlsrube, who has been appointed by the Govern ment to superintend it, reports that the plan is so perfect that it must come into general use throughout the world. He states that with one wire only information is being transmitted at the rate of thirty letters a minute, whilst the most complicated apparatus, and one that costs ten times as much and requires a much more powerful cur. rent of electricity, gives not more than sixty or seventy letters per minute and is not so certain in its action. The words in the report of the learned Professor are, "It excites the admiration of the world." 22,009 M. MARSTIALL, Chief Cashier. 49o ated the 4th day of November, 1847. BANKING D) :P.AITkLEN T.

Frankfort journal states, on the authority of a letter from Turin, that the King of Sardinia had been attacked with a vio lent complaint in the chest, which had required him to be bled four times. He was afterwards better.
