HODGSON. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., moved for a role to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, on the ground of the verdict being against evidence. The learned counsel said the action was tried at York before Mr. Baron Watson, when a verdict was returned for the defendant. It appeared that the de fendant was an elector of Beverley, and the plaintiff a member of the English aed Irish bar. At the last election the defendant espoused the cause of Mr. Glover, who was returned, and the defend ant, who went down specially, addressed the electors in opposition to him. Mr. Glover was returned, but ultimately unseated mainly through the information possessed by Mr. Mai tin relative to him. In the course of a speech made by Mr. llodgson after the election, be attacked Mr. Martin and amongst other things said, that the plaintiff was a man of a forbidding countenance, that he bore the stamp of a felon on his face, and that he deserved to be sent beyond the seas. After a short disousmion between the Bench and the Learned counsel the rule was refused. The Court was occupied the remainder of the day hearing cases in the special paper set down for argu ment. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. :Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Baron, Barons Martin, Watson, and Channell ) CRIM. CON.-FISHER V. WEBB. Mr. Skinner, Q.C., moved for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be had on the ground that evidence was read which was inadmissible, and also the verdict found for the defendant was against evidence. The case was tried before Mr. Baron Martin at the last assizes at Stafford. The plaintiff was a locksmith, and the defendant the owner of a small house at Wolver hampton. Before the marriage of the plaintiff with his wife whom it was alleged the act of adultery was com mitted with the defendant, she had, while a superinten dent of a school, had been delivered of an illegitimate child, and, subsequently to her marriage, evidence was given on the part of the defendant of repeated acts of adultery by Mr. Webb, and after the alleged adultery with the defendant, and that in fact she was a most abandoned woman, going about the streets of Wolver hampton, where she resided, in men's clothes, and one particular act of adultery was with a per son named Bainbridge, an attorney's clerk. The learned counsel now read an affidavit of Bainbridge, who was in fact the clerk to the plaintiff's attorney, denying in the most positive terms the alleged adultery between himself and Mrs. Webb, and stating that the evidence of two witnesses, named Swinborn and Rogers was wholly untrue, and that he intended to indict them for perjury. In addition to that, the learned counsel contended that the evidence of the subsequent act of adultery to that for which tie action was brought was inadmissible, Rule refused. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.) WESTMINSTER. VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A WONAN BY HEN HUSBAND.— This day a man named Hancock, tiring in George street, Chelsea, was charged before Mr. Arnold with the following moat violent assault upon Caroline Hancock his wife. It appeared from the evidence that the previous night, between 11 and 12 o'clock, the prisoner returned home, being in a state of intoxication. He remained a short time and went out again. He returned about one o'clock, when he found his wife in bed. Some altercation took place, in the course of which the prisoner took up a poker, with which he aimed a bloc► at her. She got out of bed, when, in order to defend herself from his attack upon her, she raised her hand to defend heretic which was severely eat by the poker. She rushed into the street, where she was protected by some passengers, and he was taken into custody. Mr. Arnold (to the Complamant)—Has he ever as saulted you before Complainant—Yes, sir. About 2 years ago, after which I separated from him, he was brought to this court. He is only violent when he is intoxicated. Police-constable B 63 stated that he was on duty in George-street, and hoard the cries of " Police and mur der." He found the complainant there. She had a poker in her hand, and some men were protecting her from the prisoner, who was standing by. Her hand was bleeding very much. Complainant took witness into her room and showed him a large quantity of blood which was •i the floor. The prisoner said it was only when he was drunk that he assaulted his wife. Prisoner was sent fur two months, and held to bail in two sureties of 101, to keep the peace for 6 months. OUTRAGEOUS ♦ND AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS la Two PRIVATES Or TUB 2D LIFE GUARDS.—Duncan Fraser and Edmund Chinnock, privates of the 2d Life Guards, were charged with a most outrageous assault on Mr. G. Mouchet, artist and teacher of languages, residing at No. 4, Church-row, Battersea. The complainant stated that about twelve o'olook at night he was walking along by the (lead wall attached to Chelsea Hospital, when he saw the prioners coming towards him. On meeting him he was suddenly struck by Chinnock with his fist upon the right side of his head, and was knocked down. Complainant thought a robbery was intended, and called out " police." As this occurred a female came up behind him, when she was struck by the other prisoner, and forced against a shop window. When he (complaisant) got up, he ob served that the female was bleeding from a cut on her face. She screamed out " murder, police." Complain ant was a second time knocked down by Fraser, who made use of dreadful language. The prisoners, after that, ran away, but some policemen came up, when they were taken to the station-house. The female corroborated the statement of the com plainant, and added that iiLe was kicked by one of the prisoners. _ Mr. Arnold stated that he should send the case to the sessions. The priaonera were then remanded. THAMES. CONFESSION OF MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. —A young Woman, w h o gave th e name of Emma Middleton, which is believed to be a fictitious one, was brought up on reman d, c h arge d en her own canfession, with the wilful murder of a newly-burn child, at Brighton, seven months ago. There is considerable mystery hanging about this case, The prisoner has been in custody three weeks, and at the time she confessed that she had assisted in strangling a child to which her fellow•servant gave birth she was the i nmate of an asylum f or f a llen women in Mount-terrace, Whi techapel. Inspector G r iffi n, of the K division, after reading the prisoner's eonfe ss i en at length, said that he had frequently communicated with the b superintendent of police at Brighton, who informed him that every posssible inquiry had been made, and no confirmation of the prisoner's story could be ascertained, nor was it proven that any cook in a gentl e m an ' s f amily ha d a b s conded suddenly, as described by the p r i soner. H e h a d obtained possession of an original letter, written by the prisoner, from which it appeared that her real name was Anna Brown. It was probable, as suggested by Mr. Selfe, that the pri soner had adopted the name of Emma Middleton, in consequence of reading a novel of that name. The prisoner had attempted suicide in prison, and he was afraid her mind was affected—one of her brothers had died in the Crimea, and another was murdered by the sepoys in India. Mr. Yardley—Then s h e i s ver y much to be pitied. Inspector Griffin said th e p r isoner had written a letter to a friend since s h e b a d b e en in prison, and it was in his possession. She there stated that she was not in custody for any theft but for something very appalling. Mr. Yardley said that his colleague, Mr. Selfe, bad requested him to remand the prisoner until some day w h en he (Mr. Selfe) would preside, and he would comply with the request by again remanding the prisoner till Wednesday, at whic h time he h ope d the i nspector wou ld complete his inquiries. He asked the prisoner if she had anything to say. The prisoner in a very petulant manner turned round, left the dock, and exclaimed, " I have said too much already.

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £CO. A capital scullers' race fir the above amount (30/. a side) came off yesterday, over the usual above-bridge course, from Putney Aqueduct-bridge to the Ship at Mortlake. The competitors were both below-bridge men, v 7 z., James Finnis, of Wapping, and George Wade, of Stone-stairs, Ratcliff.highway, and have both done a great deal, Finnis especially, who rowed his present opponent last year below bridge, and went right away from him ; it being supposed that Wade was not well at the time this present match was.niade. The Venus, Capt. Sharplin, accompanied the men, and was qu i te full, all the spectators appearing to be below-bridge men. Thomas Day having been chosen umpire for Finnis, Mr. Salter for Wade, and Harry Kelly, the champion of the Thames, referee, the men got to their stations, Finnis winning the toss. They got off beautifully toge ther at a clipping pace (in old-fashioned boats), and were scull-and-scull for 100 yards, when Wade began to leave his opponent, and at Finch's was just drawing himself clear ; in this position they remained for a short distance, when Wade increased his lead to about two lengths, and held it for almost a quarter of a mile. Finnis then gra dually stole upon his opponent, and on nearing Craven Cottage was close upon him. Wade again went away for some 200 yards, when Finnis drew up level again to crossing opposite the Crab Tree, when Finale drew right ahead, and after this did what he liked with his opponent all the way. The winner was trained at the Feathers, Wandsworth, and was shown up by Ralph, J. Phelps doing the like for Wade. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Intelligence has been received at the head-quar ters of the Royal Engineers' establishment, Chat ham, that the 3d company of Royal Engineers, which embarked for China, but were afterwards cr dered to India, were on the passage up the Ganges to Allahabad. The officers and men were in good health and anxious to meet the mutineers. Yesterday morning the 29th company of Royal Engineers, under the command of Capt. G. R. Lem priere, left Brompton Barracks, Chatham, and pro ceeded by rail to Portsmouth, where they relieve the Bth company, ordered to return to head-quar ters. The 29th is one of the companies which has been newly raised ; its strength is 75 non-commis sioned officers and men. The whole of the non-commissioned officers and men belonging to the newly raised 2d battalion of 7th Royal Fusiliers, to the number of about 150, will leave Chatham this day, under the command of Capt. G. W. Carpenter, Ist battalion, for the pur pose of joining the headquarters of the 2d bat. at Preston, where it is being formed by Major H. R. Hibbert. Lieut.-Gen. Sir F. Love, inspector-general of infantry, on a tour of inspection, arrived at Dooly'B Royal Arras Hotel, Cumberland-square, Parsons town, on Wednesday, the 4th inst. _ _ Two officers and 60 men of the 31st Foot from Winchester depot battalion arrived at Portsmouth on Wednesday night, and embarked in H.M. steam troop frigate Urgent, 6, Corn. M'Donald, for Gib raltar. The Urgent went to Spithead yesterday and took in her powder, and will leave this day, calling at Queenstown for more datachmentq. The Skip - jack, 4, screw gunboat, Lieut.-Com. Mnrray, and the Forward, ditto, Lieut.-Corn. Davies, left Portsmouth yesterday afternoon for Cuba, calling at Plymouth. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty : W. Ellis (B), additional master to the Edinburgh, for the Royal George ; Thomas Marsh, assistant clerk to the Cambridge. A reward of 91. 10s. was also voted to the crew of the Lowestoft life-boat, for putting off in her with the view of rendering assistance to the schooner Elizabeth, of Portmadoc, which during a fresh gale was recently driven on shore on the Holm Sand. The crow, consisting of six hands, were, however, rescued by the Peke&ld Life-Boat, which has received salvage for its services. Both boats are in connexion with the National Life-Boat In stitution, and are constantly rescuing the lives of poor fellows wrecked on the dangerous Newcorne and Holm Sands. A reward of 201. was likewise voted to the crew of a Pakefield yawl, in acknowledgment of their praiseworthy and intrepid services, in rescuing the crew, consisting of nine men, of the brig Spray, of Whitstable, which was observed in an unmanage able state in the Stamford passage on the 7tla ult. The vessel had lost her rudder, and was 'rapidly sinking. Her craw jumped into the ye.wl, and thus had their lives saved. A reward of 121. was also voted to Vae crew of the life-boat of the institution stationed at Lyme Regis, for putting off in the night during an awful gale on the 7th ult., with the view of rendering as sistance to any shipwrecked crews. The Lyme har bour at the time was absolutely buried by the sea going over the piers ; and the run into it was tre mendous. Three vessels broke from their moorings, and two drifted on the beach opposite the town, and one sank in the harbour. They were followed by two other vessels, one of which went to pieces almost immediately. Fortunately, the crews of all the wrecks had taken refuge on board the Re venue cruiser and other vessels. What these brave life-boat men undergo is often t-rrible—raging storms, fearful darkness, crashing thunder, destruc tive lightning, howling winds, wet, cold, fatigue —all have to be borne, and all are borne in a brave spirit. The life-boat is indeed the symbol of heroism, and is connected with many daring and courageous men. "Ye gentlemen of England who sit at home at ease," think of these men, and see whether yen cannot help in providing such men with efficient life-boats on many an ex posed point of our coast. A reward of 21. 10s. was likewise granted to five men of Schull, on the coast of Cork, for putting off in a boat at night to the rescue of four poor men who had been capsised from their boat during a gale of wind. A reward of 5/. was also voted to the boat's crew, for putting off and rescuing the crew, consisting of four men, of the schooner Argo, of Great Yar mouth. The vessel's boat was bserved drifting towards the Barber Sand, when her crew were for tunately taken out of her. A reward of 71. was likewise given to the crew of the Margate lugger Lively, in testimony of their noble conduct in rescuing, at the risk of their lives, three out of six of the crew of the San Roque, of Villagarcia, which, during cloudy weather, was lost on the Long Sand, on the 24th ult. Having observed the mast-heads of a vessel sunk in the sand, and on nearing it, seeing some men in the rigging, the crew of the Lively lugger, with .the courage that has ever distinguished the boatmen on the Kentish coast, launched their littie boat and dashed at the peril of their lives to rescue the drowning men. After great difficulty, and occupying, an hour and a half in the work, the three poor fellows were drawn by means of lines on board the skiff. Six their comrades had miserably perished before suc cour could reach them. The institution decided to station life-boats and transporting carriages at Brighton, Hastings, and transport near Belfast. About 3001. were paid for life boat houses and sundry charges on various life-boats ; and 1,0001. from the small funded capital of the institution, was ordered to be disposed of, to pay for various new life-boats, recently sent to the coast. It was reported that, from official returns made to the Board of Trade, during the terrific gales at the beginning and end of last month, fifty-three vessels were .1.. r.clicea .yv, our that 39 poor creatures met with a watery grave on those disastrous occasions; many of them might have been saved it was said, had efficient life-boats been in the vicinity. It was also reported that the institution had no life boats at Caistor, Winterton, and Mundesley, on the Norfolk coast, where great loss of life from shipwreck took place recently. The society, however, have s promptly offered to station some of its best life-boats at some of these places. A sincere vote of condolence was passed to the family of the late Mr. Francis Wilson, who was a member of the committee of the institution, and a liberal contributor to its funds. His father, the late Mr. Thomas Wilson, was the founder of the society. The proceedings then closed. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.) LONDON, Nov. G.—Wind this day at noon, N.W.; light, hazy weather.

PRESENTATION OP COLOURS TO THE 60th LIGHT INFANTRY. The 68th Light Infantry, upwards of 1,000 strong, under the command of Col. H. Smyth, C. 8., being on the eve of embarking for India in the steamship Australasian, from this port, were this afternoon presented with new colours on Swan sea-common by his Royal Highness the Comman der-in-Chief.

The Duke then addressed the regiment as fol lows :—" Officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates of the 68th Light Infantry,—l have much pleasure in presenting new colours to a regiment which upon all occasions has distinguished itself whenever brought into action. During the Penin sular War no regiment suffered more, or performed its duties more creditably. Again, in a recent con test which has now become matter of history, on this very day three years ago, I, myself, had an op portunity of seeing the distinguished gallantry of the 68th. I am persuaded that the same spirit ani mates the regiment still, and that whenever called upon to meet an enemy in the field it will exhibit the same energy and courage which it displayed at the battle of lukermsu. It is a satisfaction to me to see the regiment go out under the command of an officer in whom I have the greatest confidence, I regret that you should be again called upon to leave your native shores after so short a sojourn at home, but the British soldier is always ready to go anywhere and do anything for the honour and glory of his country, and I am sure you will em bark as cheerfully for the distant shores of India as no doubt you disembarked when you re turned from the Crimea. You are going to a dis tant part of the world, but I hope you will not relax those strict rules of discipline which so dis tioguished you while at home. You have my best wishes, I haveparticipated with you in the achieve ment of great victories, and I hope to hear of your prosperity wherever her Majesty and the country may require your service." Colonel Smyth then made a suitable reply on behalf of the regimen', after which the troops on the field went through the evolutions incidental to an official inspection. His Royal Highness after wards inspec . ed the lines and the new barracks at the top of the town, named after himself, and which will shortly be ecnupied. lie left Portsmouth by the 4.15 p.m. train fur London. The proceedings of the day closed with a banquet given by Colonel Smyth and the officers of the 68th to the principal personages connected with the garrison, port, and district, LITERATURE. Riverston. By Georgiana M. Craik. 3 'cols. Smith and Elder. Although these volumes chronicle the chief events in the career of a governess, they do not partake of the usual nature of such a work. Many eloquent writers have descanted upon this theme, they have describe' the dark days and the sleepless nights, they have painted the various trials to which the unhappy race has been subjected, whose object it is to impart instruction to youth. , In thi s s t or y there is an exception to the rule, for the existence of Honor Haig, at Riverston, was perfectly free and entirely exempt from the thousand minor an noyances which seem to environ the path of governess. Perhaps some critical readers will aver t such a state of things is not a likely one, but others have overshadowed the portraiture, it is allowable for an author for once to paint it in some what too glowing colours. Miss Haig did not find roses without thorns, even in her beautiful retreat, for many troubles awaited her. There is something about her character, which insensibly interests and attracts, something that throws into the shade the meretricious ornaments of Helen's style, and the , assumed dignity b u t a ff ec t e d d emeanour o f Sydney. ' , hes@ youlig daughters of the house were entirely eclipsed IT the governess of their little sister; they are not prominently brought for ward ill the tale, each has a singular story, which, whoa told, she disappears from our notice. The drama of Helen's life was enactd soon after Miss Hai g t oo k up h er abode in the family of t'ae Wyntere, as the owners of Riverston were named. We meet w ith a str i k i ng instance of the misery occasioned by flightiness of conduct in the episode of Mr. Beresford's ill-omened attach ment to Miss Wynter. Iu vain did the sensible Honor interpose between the disputants ; one was deficient in strength of character, and the other in principle. The result was a premature and violent death for the injured, and fur the injurer a long life of remorse and regret. The romance of Sydney's life was more prolonged and complicated in its details, and it involved some others more or less connected in the story. The relation of Mrs. Hammond's trials is one of a mournful and touch ing kind ; her tale is told in a simple manner, and the mode of her introduction to Rivereton, and the confusion that subsequently nsued from her pre sence there, aro skilfully contrived, so as to add excitement and convey spirit to the work. Som will, no doubt, be pleased with Mr. Kingsley, who is original in some parts of his character, and whose eccentricities are revealed to us in a vigorous man ner. His letent kindness of heart is also made manifest through the veil of assumed sternness and indifference. It is not an improbable conclusion that wo arrive at when we meet with the engage ment of this singular individual to the heroine. Honor Haig was herself peculiar, and there was something attractive to her in the incomprehensible nature she met with in another. Those who desire a well-written narrative, with some exciting incie dents and well-drawn characters, will be delighted with the perusal of Riverston. Howard Plunkett : or, Adrift in Life. A novel. By R. Cornwallis, author of " Yarra Yarra." 2 vols. Whittaker. The author of this work has certainly great skill in constructing a story and arranging its compo nent parts. The characters are numerous, and, for the most part, aptly sketched. ; but it is to be regretted that he should not have been more cau tious in the introduction of some passacr. s met with. They are more akin to the literature of foreign na tions, than appropriate in au English work of fic tion. The must striking of the scenes, the most vigorous of the descriptions, and the most interest ing of the characters, are not those involved or in cluded in the sad mysteries and sombre shadows of suspicion ; hence, it is to be hoped that in an other production, we may meet with the author's talent divested of such drawbacks. Some of the events, relating to the young outcast, who walks the wilderness of the world alone, are exceedingly well described. We have life in its varying phases picturod before us in many a diverse land. The story commences and concludes at home, but in its course it wanders far and wide, from " the bright and rolling waters of the gorgeous Mississippi, to the lofty banks of the Yarra Yarra."

MURDER OF A POLICEMAN LT STEVENAGE, HERTS. —This quiet little vi lage has been thrown into ex citement by the commission of one of the foulest mur ders recorded for a long time. A policeman, who has only been in the neighb ourhood a few weeks, who was noted for his vigilance, and had, it appears, often stopped men with stole n p ro p er ty, was missed on Friday night lut. He was seen going his rounds about five o'clock, and was never seen after till Monday morning, when he was found in a pond about half a mile from the village with his throat cut so frightfully that his head was nearly severed from his body. Near the pond was foEnd some loose grain, and the ground bore evident marks of a severe struggle having taken place, and at a distance of above ninety y ards were more loose corn and some blood, so that it appears that be tried to apprehend some one, or more, with stolen corn, and that one or more committed tke murder. His scat was hacked a great deal about the neck. The coroner has held an inquest on the body, and adjourned it till Monday Two brothers named Carpenter have been taken ip, and there seems strong sus p icion a g ains t them. The row. dered man was about twenty-five years of age, And cams from St. Alben's. . •
