FLANDERS MAIL. BitIMET.S t SEPT. 13.—Yesterday his Majesty transacted business with the Minister of War, and gave several audiences. Her Majesty expected to set out for Beverloo on the 20th or 22d. The King and the Royal Family manifest much interest in the agri cultural exhibition, and much success is expected to result from this assemblage of the various products of the kingdom. The farmers in several places have hesitated to send their produce, some because they cannot send them until very late, and others because poverty of the soil where their produce was culti vated places them in a disadvantageous light with others who had not this difficulty to contend with. The Minister rf the Interior is about to issue a cir cular stating that these points will be taken into con sideration, and that a special recompense will be awarded to those who send good produce from un fruitful soils. The various productions and instruments are being placed with much ingenuity in the Palace of laßue Dacale, and the preparations continue with much order and activity. TRIESTE, SEPT. His Majesty the King of Prussia arrived here from Ischl, and this evening will prosecute his journey to Venice, in a steam-boat belonging ti_ the Austrian Lloyds. VENICE, SEPT. C.—This morning, at ten o'clock, his Majesty the King of Prussia arrived here in the Imperator. The small war-steamer Messagere was sent to meet his Majesty on his entrance into the mouth of the harbour. The eagerness of the Captain of the large steamer, who wished to measure his speed with that of the swift Messagere occasioned the unpleasant circumstance, that that steamer was run upon the sands, in one of the immense windings of the canal, and the tide was just going ont, the steamer remained immovable, and it was impossible to set it afloat again until the evening. His Majesty ob served the strictest incognito, and went to the hotel Daniele, and intends remaining here for three days. Immediately after his arrival the Archduke Frederick, the Admiral, and the son 3 of the Vice-king, who are here at present, waited on him at the hotel. His Im perial Highness the Archduke Raiwe left Venice on the 31st of August, in order to travel in the Lom bardo-Venotian kingdom, accompanied by the Min ister of the State Count Fiquelmont. BERLIN, SEPT. 4.—Ludvig Von Mieroslowski, the accused Pole, is said to be employed in the prison of this city in the completion of a work called, "La Revolution et la Contre Revolution," the publication of which, perhaps, will soon be permitted. Except Dr. Liebelt Mieroslowski, he is undoubtedly the most intellectual, distinguished, and gifted among the Poles, who are here under arrest, and his explanation of the late revolutionary movement among the Poles, in its more connected form, have the more interest because the majority of his fellow-accused country men have lost sight of the national point of view, and have degraded themselves by miserable reasons to screen their persons. ANTWERP, SEPT. 6.—M. Rogier, the Minister of the Interior, and M. Veydt, the Minister of Finance, have just been re-elected, the former by 640 votes, the latter by 648. The number of voters present amounted to 658. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 13.—Two persons have been arrested on suspicion of being the authors or the accomplices of the murder at St. Gery. Some indi viduals, however, state that they were with the pri soners on the night of the murder. If this case be proved, they will of course be set at liberty, and the authorities must direct its investigations to other quarters. On Saturday, at four o'clock, the police of Ixelles arrested a person who has been before in cus tody. A domicilary visit was paid to the place where he lived, and all his effects were seised, a passport, dated 2d Sept., for going to Holland, and a sum of 70 francs, which he had in his possession. MURDER OF A RAILROAD GUARD.—FRANYTORT, SEPT. 6.—During the night of Friday one of the guards of the third section of the railroad from Berlin perceived that on one point of this section several rails had been raised, and that not far from the spot logs of wood and small heaps of stones were laid across the lines. A train arrived at that moment from Frankfort, on the Oder, the guard made a signal to stop it, which was immediately done by the con ductor of the engine, and thus the train happily escaped the danger with which it was threatened. Towards morning the guard was found murdered alongside the railway, his heart was stabbed in various places with a knife. The author of this atrocious crime has not been discovered.—Brussels paper, Sept. 15. DUTCH FtitiDS.—AXSTZEDAM, SIFT. 13. Money.

It is said that she does not mean to make an appeal against the sentence of imprisonment, for as she has once before been fined for calumny she can now be acquitted only by the annulling of her sentence by the King himself. The right of appeal to the King in cases of private wrongs, has been in force in our law for the last 10 years. CONTINENTAL COMMUNICATION.

A horrible parricide was committed last week at Anneau (Eure et Loire). A man named Leroy, 72 years of ago, had given up to his son the whole of his lroperty, reserving to himself a cert a i n annuity, and a odging in the house with his son and daughter-in law. As a stipulated allowance had fallen into arrear until a sum of 1, 9 00 f. was due to the old man, he was obliged to summon his son before the juge de paix. who esta blished the demand, and made an order for its payment by instalments of 100 f, a month. This proceeding gave rise to constant quarrels between the father and son, and even to blows. As the father was not seen for two daYs, the ne i g hb ours suspected foul play, and called in the poor old t:!lo magistrates, who, on entering, found tho body of tier, m an mutilated in the most shocking man trthe sk u ll being fractured so th at t h e b rain pro anudle.d.,sand seven of his ribs b e i ng b ro k en.

Take a house on the port, and write up "English Boarding-house" in large letters , to strike the eye of every Englishman arriving by the steam-packets. Put on a smiling face for the reception of strangers, and in reply to questions about terms, mention forty five francs per week, or something exceedingly mode rate. This will not at all diminish your profits, for when the time for payment comes, you have only to say that you meant shillings, and could not have said francs, which at once places more than fifteen per cent. on your charges. You must remember, also, that extras are not to be lost sight of. People who come to boarding-houses have their beds included in the weekly sum, of course ; but the beds are to be made, and who is to pay for making them ? This must form a separate item in their account, as well as kitchen-fire and attendance ; f o r, th ou gh the meals are no doubt included, how are they to be cooked and brought to table, unless you are remunerated for making your servants do so? Remember, also, that as francs swell into shillings when the day of pay ment comes, so centimes magnify themselves into sous when you have to be reimbursed for any outlay you have been put to on account of your boarders. Thus, a rushlight that has cost you five centimes, or a sous, will amount to five sous by the time your bill is to be made out ; and a bottle of wine, which cost one franc when you sent out for it, will have risen to five francs when the consumer in your house has to pay for it. As to servants, they cannot do better than follow their mistress's example : you must make them dun the inmates until something is extracted in addition to what you have already received in their name, as there will probably be some difficulty in getting boarders to pay twice over for attendance which they have never, perhaps, received at all ; for they must, of course, help themselves, if your limited number of domestics should be otherwise occupied. Your only real expense will be a gratuitous boarder to sit at table every day, and puff each meal, declaring there are so many good things he hardly knows what to choose, and confidentially telling every new corner—but this must not be attempted after the first day—that yours is the best and most liberally con ducted boarding-house in all Boulogne. By follow ing these instructions you will rev a tolerable har vest, while it lasts ; but as it cannot last long, you must reap away with the most prodigious activity.— Punch. EMIGRATION MOVEMENT. However various may be the opinion of statesmen and politicians on the question of emigration, the people have long decided in its favour. Want is a hard task-master, and the hope of earning where with to live in the land of the stranger is preferred to the certainty of starvation in their own. Whilst Government is debating the question, the masses are acting for themselves. Thousands are hastening from the land of their birth to the western world, hoping to earn there the subsistence they cannot pro cure at home. Want induces supply ; thus the tide of emigration has called into existence a company styled the Western Virginian Land Company. The company is under the direction of gentlemen of respectability and standing, which is a guarantee for the honesty of the undertaking. The land they offer is stated as com bining the important advantages of healthiness of climate, easiness of approach, with a rich soil, fertile in all the peculiar productions of the western States. Equally important and desirable is the protection the company propose affording emigrants to their lands, undertaking to forward them through recognised and appointed agents direct to their intended location, at the same time furnishing them with every informa tion for their guidance. If properly carried out, this will secure an amount of protection Government schemes never afforded, and which individual enter prise can alone accomplish. The plan also which they have adopted of alloting single shares, allowing the amount paid on such shares to be taken out in land at any time at the first sale price, with a liberal discount, the shareholder still retaining his interest in the profits of the com pany, will enable the industrious and saving of all classes desirous of emigrating, to provide for that event by a very trifling periodical outlay. This com pany would, in fact, appear in this respect to have introduced into the system of emigration a novel fea ture, combining the advantages of the building and land sale companies now so generally known and ap preciated amongst the labouring classes, with the security and benefits afforded by the mutual assurance companies. _ _ _ As an undertaking designed to afford protection to at present a most unprotected class, it would appear every way worthy the support of the emigrant and the philanthropist, whilst, if only half the prospective advantages detailed are realised, to the capitalist it offers a safe and most eligible investment.—Liverpool Mail. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 14.--Sir Harry Smith, ac companied by Lady Smith, arrived last evening by the South-Western Railway, at six o'clock, and came over to Portsmouth, and took up his quarters at the George Hotel. In the absence of Lord F. Fitz clarence, who is suffering from severe illness, the Gallant General was received by the senior officer of the garrison, Colonel Lewis, R E., accompanied by a numerous escort of mounted officers. On approach ing the George, in front of which the united bands of the 421, 32. d regiments, and Royal Marines, were drawn up in line, " See the conquering hero" was played at the same time that the numerous assem blage heartily cheered the hero of Aliwal. Lady Smith also received similar honours, which were gracefully acknowledged, and after a cheer for the Queen all was quiet. This morning Lieutenant-General Sir Harry Smith, Bart., reviewed the garrison of Portsmouth, comprising the 43d, 52d, and 2d regiments, on South sea Common. The troops, commanded by Lieutenant- Colonel Nesbit (in the absence of Lord Fitzclarence), marched past the Gallant General in slow and quick time, and performed several manoeuvres in a highly creditable manner. The General addressed the brigade on the con clusion in the following words :---" Soldiers and corn rades,—Right glad am I once more to find myself associated with you, the immortal light brigade, and to witness the order and discipline to which you have been trained by your officers. I have seen those colours in the field of battle, and I have seen them crowned with victory. Right glad am I also to find that the same spirit animates you now that animated the gallant light brigade in the day of battle, that spirit of bravery which crowned your ancestors with immortal glory; that same spirit animates you now, and should you, like them, be called on to fight for your country, you will, doubtless, like them, be crowned with victory ; it will be only to give the word, and you will be able to follow your leader, whoeve: should have the honour to command. A few years back I was a subaltern like yourselves, and was drilled by your sergeants ; but I have been fortunate, and, I hope with all my heart that you also may be equally fortunate. The moral character you all bear in this garrison is an honour to you, and, I must say, the higher the moral character appears, the more brave the men in the field. Bear in mind these sentiments, and be go verned by them—Comrades, farewell !" The above address appeared to make a deep impres sion on all present, especially the soldiers. There was a large assemblage to witness the review. The gallant Sir Harry was heartily cheered on his arrival and departure. The Vernon, Indianian, arrived this day t o convey the new governor and family, and suite, to his com mand at the Cape. This evening with a thaet g th ar e r G is o eo n rg e e n t u er o t t a e i l n , Sirh h l s ra where covers for eighty are prepared. The enthusi astic reception of the Gallant cieneral last evening and this day on tha Common was a well-merited rebuke to the spirit that prevailed yesterday at a meeting of the Town Council, when a proposition to present an address on the occasion was negatived by a majority of the members present. Thert timecominpgreovfiothues General was only made known a short to his arrival, and then only to the military authorities, or thousands in place of hundreds would hare assem bled to honour him.

This insolvent was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on be half of a Mr. Clark, and she was supported by Mr. Nichols. Mr. CoOKE reminded the Court of the circumstances detailed upon the previous hearing. It appeared that, in 1834, the insolvent obtained a small piece of land from the Lord of the Manor of Ickenham, adjoining the premises of Mr. Clark, and thereupon she built a thing called a cottage, but in reality a hovel, which gave great offence to a neighbouring gentleman, who conceived that Mr. Clark had caused the erection for the purpose of annoyance. Mr. Clark, to remove this idea, endeavoured to obtain possession of the land, offering a fair compensation. The insolvent, how ever, refused to retire, and, upon the advice of Sir John Campbell, an action of ejectment was brought, and set down for trial, but was by consent of Sir F. Kelly, who appeared for the insolvent, referred to ar bitration, with the express concurrence of the insol vent, as stated by Sir P. Kelly in his examination in the Court of Chancery. The arbitrator decided against Mr. Clark, who paid the whole costs of both parties, 320/., and then offered 50/. for the hut, which was not, in fact, worth more than 5/., but the insolvent refused to obey the award, which was made a rule of Court, and the insolvent committal to prison for con tempt, and she remained there for nearly five years, when she was released upon bail. She had filed a bill in equity against Mr. Clark, which was dismissed, after putting that gentle:nan to very heavy expenses. She was now in prison for costs, and the creditor again was willing to pay her 50/. for what in reality was only worth 51., and did not wish to keep her an hour in prison. On the last occasion the insolvent al leged she had sold the property to her father, who was examined, but the Court not being satisfied with his testimony, required the attendance of Mr. Beetholme, an attorney, in whose presence it was stated the money was paid. Evidence was given that efforts had been made to subpoena Mr. Beetholme, who, however, could not be found. Mr. NictioLs said the insolvent conceived she had a right to the property, and she had not felt bound to accept the arbitrator's award. She had already been subjected to an imprisonment of five years' duration, by order of the Court of Queen's Bench, because she believed, perhap erroneously, that the property in question was her own, and that Court had discharged her, thinking that she had undergone sufficient incar ceration. He hoped this Court would not require the attendance prior to the discharge, as that person could not by any effort be at present reached. Mr. Cooas reiterated his client's disinclination to Protract the insolvent's imprisonment, notwithstand ing the severe expenses to which he had been put in this matter, amounting to more than 1,0001. He would not object to the insolvent being discharged to-day. _ _ Hi; HONOUR told the insolvent she was greatly indebted to the Learned Counsel for the considerate indulgence he had manifestei, and reminded her that if at any future period the statements of the schedule should be proved to be false she would still be liable to the consequences of such misconduct. The story told by the insolvent and her father about the transfer of the cottage was very suspicious. The insolvent declared it was the truth. The COURT then ordered her to be discharged. IN RE ROBERT EVENNETT. This insolvent was opposed by Mr. Sturgeon on behalf of Thomas Flight. The insolvent, on examination, stated that he was bankrupt in 1829, owing 4,5001., and again in 1831, owing 9501. lie was discharged by this Court in 1833 from debts amounting to 8441., and in 1839 from debts to the extent of 2,439/. He did not know of any dividend having been paid on any of these oc casions. It was complained that the insolvent had by vexa tiously pleading to an action brought by Mr. Flight to recover 251. on a bill of exchange increased the costs from 101. to 291. 9s. 6d. The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER said, this was a man who lived, as it was called, by his wits, going on from day to day in various dealings of accommoda tion bills and transactions of that kind. He was now an applicant for the fifth time to a court of law for relief from debts amounting to 1,3401., of which 670/. were those for which no consideration had been re ceived. The schedule evinced the perfect recklessness with which the insolvent, after his previous experi ence, had rushed into the debt of tradesmen and others of the poorest description. If the judgments of this court were ever to be applied to the reprobation of such a system, this was a case requiring the applica tion of that most wholesome clause, the 76th section, under which the insolvent would be remanded for six months from the date of his vesting order. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Yesterday John Walters, late a clerk at Messrs. Da Silva and Co.'s, patent warehousemen, Bride lane, was brought before Mr. Alderman H o op er f or final examination, charged with having, duting the eight months he was in their service, embezzled sums to the amount of nearly 3001. Th e hearing occupied the magistrate for several hours. Mr. Humphreys and Mr. Kearns conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Byard defended the prisoner. Upon the first charge the offence of embezzlement assumed a more serious shape, that of feloniously forging in London a certain acquittance for the pay ment of money with intent to defraud her Majesty's Postmaster-General. Mr. White, a clerk in the Post-office, produced a Post-office order for 31. ]6s. 6d., dated the 6th of August, made payable to Da Silva and Co., which he paid on the 9th to the person who presented it. He also produced the advice of the postmaster of Hull, dated the 6th of August, by which he found the party who sent the order was Joseph Shaw Weir. Mr. Da Silva said he had a customer named Weir, at Hull, from whom 31. 163. 6d. was due in August. The signature " J. Da Silva and Co." on the order was not written by him or by his authority, but it was the writing of the prisoner. The custom had been for the prisoner to bring Post-office orders to him for his signature, when he crossed them and paid them into his bankers. There was no entry in the books of the receipt of the order, or the cash. He identified a letter addressed to Mr. Weir, acknow ledging the receipt of the order, as the prisoner's handwriting. Cross examined—Had often seen the prisoner write, and could swear to his hand. He generally opened the letters, but had authorised the prisoner to do so in his absence. The prisoner offered no defence, and was committed on the charge. The next charge related to the payment of three sums, amounting to 91. 10s. by Mr. Sanger, a medi cine vender in Oxford-street. The prisoner had given a receipt on each occasion, but he made no entry in the cash-book, nor did he account for the money. The questions put on behalf of the accused inti mated that no authority to receive money had been expressly given to the prisoner, and, therefore, an in dictment for embezzlement would not lie. Mr. Humphreys re-examined Mr. Da Silva on this point. He had recognised the receiving of money by the prisoner, and hid instructed him to bring all moneys received by him to his private house at night, if he did not come to the warehouse during the day. It was part of his business to receive money, and it was his duty to enter immediately in the remittance book whatever he received. Mr. Alderman HOOPER was quite satisfied with the evidence in this case, and committed the prisoner for embezzlement. The third charge related to the embezzlement of the proceeds of two cheques, forwarded by Messrs. Raines, of Edinburgh, for the sums of 561. 12s. 6d. and 271. Mr. Tabor, from Jones Loyd and Co.'s, proved the payment of the cheques, giving the number the notes issued on the occasion. One of these was shown to have been paid by the prisoner to Mr. Rait, a baker, in Mount-terrace, Whitechapel, in discharge of a debt. One for 101. was changed at Messrs. Barclay's, with whom Messrs. Da Silva keep their account. Mr. Leach, cashier at No. 26, Bride-lane, stated that the prisoner applied to him to cash the cheque for 271., and knowing Mr. Da Salva was out of town, and understanding the prisoner had occasion to pay money in his absence, he cashed the cheque. William Twyford, residing at No. 1, Bride-lane, occupied by Messrs. Da Silva, stated that on the 2d of September he found some letters thrown into the coal-cellar. One of them was a letter from Messrs. Raines, respecting a remittance; another was a letter relating to the prisoner's private affairs ; another was a letter, containing the half of a note, addressed to Da Silva and Co. A person having occasion to wash his hands would pass the coal-cellar to go to the cistern. The prisoner was apprehended the day before he found the letters. Mr. Da Silva proved that after the prisoner had confessed he had received and spent s , -.me sums, and ' while witness was consulting. with his solicitor about giving the prisoner into custody, he asked leave to go down stairs and wash his hands, and was allowed to do so. The prisoner had not accounted for the 56/. or 271. He identified the prisoner's writing on two of the notes given in payment of the cheques. The prisoner's solicitor put questions to show that Messrs. Jones Loyd and Co. could not identify the prisoner as the person who changed the 561. cheque, and some other like uncertainties. Mr. Alderman Hoorn thought the case was con clusively brought home to the prisoner, and com mitted him for trial. MA reLBOROUG4,STREET. Yesterday William JachsolY Samuel Steele, and John Murray, three well-known bad characters, were brought up again for the purpose of being for =ally committed, they having been remanded in order to procure the evidence of a boy who had gone into the country unexpectedly, and to ascertain if other charges could be brought against them, The substance of the charge against the prisoners was as follows: William Jackson and Samuel Steele were first charged with having stolen from the shop of Mr. Robert Bird, linendraper, Great Russell-street, 120 yards of silk, worth 251. Thomas Webb, of Great Swaffham, said, he was recently in the employ of the prosecutor. On Thurs day last, about eight o'clock, the two prisoners came into Mr. Bird's shop, and asked to look at some row ing shirts. The prisoners bought one and paid 2s. for it, and also some other trifling articles. About an hour after the prisoners had left the shop witness missed one piece of silk containing 80 yards, and an other containing 40 yards of silk. Witness had seen the silk safe on the previous night. Witness also re collected that the two prisoners had called the morn ing before, but had bought nothing. Police-sergeant Langley, of the detective force, said he apprehended the prisoners at the Blue Anchor public-house, Bethnal-green. The prisoners denied the robbery. They were committed on this charge. The next charge was against John Murray and Samuel Steele, for a robbery at the shop of Mr. Waylett, silversmith, 233, Oxford-street. Mrs. Waylett stated that on Wednesday, the Ist of this month, she was called to serve the two prisoners. The prisoners wished to see some seals, but after the seals were shown to them they would not suit. The prisoners said, they would not give her so much trouble for nothing, and after looking at a tray of rings they ultimately bought a pencil case, and some other small article. As soon as they left the shop, a lad, named Camelford, who was in the shop, told her he thought the prisoners had stolen something. Wit ness looked at the tray of rings and missed four, worth at least 101. The prisoners were also committed on this charge. The commitments having been duly made out, the prisoners were removed into one of the cells, a small range of brick and mortar cl ose t s recen tl y built on the basement of the building, adjoining the kitchens of the house. When the van came for the prisoners it was discovered that all three had made their escape. Some persons, it is conjectured, had got down stairs unperceived, and had picked the lock of the cell, and thus gave the prisoners their liberty. The escape of the prisoners is by no means a surprising circum stance when the insecurity of the place in which they were confined is considered. Charles Ellerman, agent, of Pelham-place ' Bromp• ton, was brought up i n th e cus t o d y o f th e detective police, charged with being concerned in a large manufacture of counterfeit Turkish coin carried on at Birmingham. The police have received information that the Turkisk Government have discovered that during the last three or four years immense quantities of counter feit piastres have been circulated in the Turkish do minions. The amount of spurious coin thus intro duced is said not to fall far short of 100,0001. The Turkish authorities having at last obtained such a clue to the offenders as to induce them to believe that the manufactory of false piastres was at Birmingham, carried on by a person named Darwen in conjunction with others, made application to the British Govern ment, and the result was that the detective police were instructed to take the matter in hand. After much patient inquiry they succeeded in procuring such an amount of evidence against Darwen as has led to his commitment at Birmingham recently. The prisoner, Ellerman, who is suspected to be the agent through whose instrumentality the shipments of false piastres to Turkey as "iron nails" were conducted, was yesterday apprehended by Police-sergeants Shaw and Kendall of the detective police. The prisoner was merely hrought to the court for the purpose of being sent to Birmingham. The requisite authority was given by Mr. BINGHAM, and the prisoner was removed in safe custody. THAMES. An elderly-looking woman, named Elizabeth Ashill, the stewardess of the Dutch steam. ship Batavier, was brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged with smug gling 5 lb. of foreign manufactured tobacco and cigars. It appeared that Jones, a Thames police-constable, saw the prisoner leave the Batavier in a boat, and come on shore at St. Katharine's-wharf, and observing her look very bulky he stopped her, and asked her if she had anything about her liable to duty. She changed colour, and said she had only 21b. of tobacco, which was of no use to the officer. Jones told her if she had any tobacco about her he must take her be fore his inspector, and she was accordingly escorted by the officer to the Thames, where Inspector Evans caused her to be searched, when a large petticoat lined throughout, and suspended by straps to her shoulders, was taken from her. It was filled with tobacco and cigars. The petticoat was produced, and its exhibition was sufficient to convince any one it was made for the conveyance of contraband goods. The prisoner alternately sobbed, clasped her hands, and begged for mercy. She could not deny that she carried a little tobacco. She could not say anything ; she knew it was wrong. Mr. 13ALLANTINE—Thie people on board the Bata tier are always smuggling. They have done so for years. You are made up for smuggling, with a large petticoat strapped to your shoulders. You will pay a fine of 4/. for this, and if you do not you will go to prison for one month. The penalty was immediately paid. HAMMERSMITH. Yesterday Christopher Charles Thurston, a well dressed man, who was formerly a conductor in the service of the Hammersmith Conveyance Company, was placed at the bar before Mr. W. F. Beadon, the sitting magistrate, for further examination on a charge of having been concerned with others, not in custody, in stealing, on the 3d inst., from the premises of Mr. William Redkison, the Sussex Arms 'cavern, Broad way, Hammersmith, Bank of England notes to the value of 1001., and a cheque on the banking-house of Messrs. Drewett and Fowler for 121. 35. Bd. The prisoner was first examined on Thursday, the 9th inst., when Joseph Gardiner, of No. 11, Ely street, Pearson-street, Kingsland-road, deposed that he was a porter, working occasionally at Birch's, the confectioner on Cornhill. The prisoner resembled a man who, on Friday, the 3d inst., about half-past two o'clock in the afternoon, came to witness on Cornhill and asked if he was a porter, to which he re plied in the affirmative. He then asked if witness knew the banking-house of Messrs. Drewett and Fowler, and what his charge would be to go there with a cheque. Witness told him that he knew the banking-house, and his charge would he 61., when the prisoner gave him a cheque for 121. 3s. 81., and told him to go to the banking-house and get it cashed, saying he had to be at the Cross Keys Inn, in Alders gate-street, at half-past two o'clock, and that witness was to bring the money to him there. Witness told the prisoner that it only wanted a minute to half-past two o'clock, and then went with the cheque to Messrs. Drewett and Fowler's bank, in Prince's-street, City, where it was stopped, and witness was detained. Had not seen the prisoner since that day until he then saw him in custody. To the best of his belief the prisoner was the same man. The prisoner had not, however, the same coat on that he had that day. The prisoner said it was the same coat he had on at the time. Mr. BEADON said, after that admission he should remand the prisoner. Yesterday the court was crowded by the inhabi tants of the neighbourhood, anxious to witness the proceedings. Mr. Wontner, the solicitor, appeared for the prisoner. The following additional evidence was produced : Francis Neville, of No. 35, Exeter-street, Lisson grove, deposed that,he was a cab driver, badge No. 8,642. On the afternoon of Friday, the 3d inst., about five minutes past two o'clock, witness was standing feeding his horse in Lombard-street, near the eorner of Birehin-lane, when he saw the old porter whom he saw in court that day, and a man gave him something into his hand, and he heard him tell the porter to ask for the name of Roberts. About half an hour or three-quarters afterwards witness was by the Mansion- house, and again saw the porter with a gen tleman. Both got into witness's cab, but he had no conversation with them until after they had got to Hammersmith. While standing outside the Sussex Arms witness told the ostler what he had seen, who then told him there had been a robbery committed at the house that day. Witness was then called in and questioned as to the description of the man whom he saw give something to the porter, when he said that was a stout man, and wore an old velveteen coat or jacket much worn, and a hat very much worn. Could not identify the prisoner as the man. Thought the man was stouter than the prisoner. The prisoner's hat was like that worn by the man. Inspector Morgan, T division, informed the magis trate that he should be able to prove, by persons who were present when he made his first statement, that he had omitted a very important portion of it. Charlotte Skinner deposed that she was barmaid at the Sussex Arms Tarvern. The prisoner had been in the almost daily habit of frequenting that house for the last two years. On the evening before the rob bery the prisoner was sitting in front of the bar when Mrs. Redkison came down stairs into the bar, with the cash-box in her hand.
