London, 345, Strand, September 1, 1847. COMMERCIAL TELEGRAPH. The works of the Lines for commercial communications between the places enumerated below, embracing a system of Telegraphs for eenunerc al purposes only, and distinct from that reserved for the Special ii,e of Railways, being so far advanced as to admit. of their completka by the commencement of the coming year, the Directors think th Li: the time has now a , rived when it becomes their duty to make kb nvn the arrangements which they contemplate for the ac commodation of the public. Statioi;?, will be opened in central situations in the principal Towns, 'whence Messages and Dispatches will be forwarded to and received rem all the other Gtations of the Electric Telegraph Company. In order to give to Merchants, Bankers, Manufacturers, and all connecte.l with trade, the greatest possible amount of information, a Room will be reserved in eac't of the Company's Stations for Sub seribers, in which will be received, tabulated, and exhibited, all intel ligence Q 1 commercial or public interest ; for instance — Ship Lists from the various forts. Share Lists from the various Exchanges. .laces Current. Stock Exchange Lists. Corn Markets from the various Towns. Prices of Live Stock, &c., &c., &c. Is Lorklon. a Central Station, suited to the importance of the Me tropolis, is in course of erection in the immediate vicinity of the Bank asd Itoy,ll Exchange; in this Station the whole Telegraphic News of the country will be concentrated and forwarded in every direc tion; at: I here, as in other Towns, a Room will be reserved far Sub. setibei s. The dubscription to these Rooms will be Two Guineas per annum, Paid in advance, which will entitle Subscribers to the right of en trance to all the Subscription Rooms of the Company, including the Central Station at London. The foregoing detat's some of the advantages of the Commercial Telegraph to Subscribers,—but the requirements of the Public to ge beral wit be provided for by the Establishment of Offices, which will at all times be open for the reception or transmission ( f Messages and Dispatches, while Messengers will be kept at the various Station.=, by whom dispatches may be sent out to any part of the Town where the communication has been received by Telegraph at the Corn liany's Cation. Stibeer.bers' Names are received at the Commercial Telegraph Of fice, where any further information may he obtained. • The fialowing arc the Towns to which the Commercial Telegraph 11- 111 be first extended : Lot elm Barnsley Peterborough Chelmsford Margate Wakefield Yarmouth Ipswich Ramsgate Leeds Huntingdon York A .e... 1 Halifax Hertford Darlington )over Rochdale Manchester Newcastle Folkestone Hull Leicester Berwick Canterbury Maidstone Derby Edinburgh Northampton Tonbridge Nottingham Glasgow Coventry Gosport Lincoln Scarbor,ugh Birming:t am Southampton Chesterfield Bridlington Wolverhampton Winchester Sheffield Stamford Stafford Dorchester Bradford Norwich Cheater Bristol Wisbeach St. Ives Liverpod Gloucester Lowestoft Ware Rotherham Cheltenham Cambridge Colchester J.

Mitchell —A s for the two shillings, I never touched them, or had one halfpenny from her in my life. Mr. Broughton inquired if the parties in the other case were p resent ? and was answered in the nega tive, although it was proved they had been stiramoued to attend. Mr. Robinson said he was ready to answer the gross calumnies that had been heaped upon him, and had been most anxious to meet his accusers. He had done everything in his power to cause the attendance of the woman, Wright, who had made the unfounded charge against him of having taken money from 'her, under circumstances which, if true, would hive reflected the greatest discredit upon him as a legal adviser. Mr Long—lf the woman do not appear on the next occasion, I am sure that all the right-thinking part of the community will be of opinion that it is a gross calumny, or that you have been calumniated, unless they arrive at the conclusion that the parties are kept purposely out of the way. Mr. Wolff also complained of the remarks of Mr. Walsby in introducing his name in so unfavour able a point of view, when there was no justification for so doing. The Magistrates express d their determination to sift the affair to the bottom, and their intention to resume the investigation on Thursday next. Mr. Robinson begged to assure the Magistrate,. that he would spare no pains or expense to bring the woman forward. No. 17 3 193.] LONDON, SATURDAY EV ::'NING TT OCTOBER 30, 18. 17. _ [PRICE SD.

PUBLICA TIONS. THE ANTI-GOLD-LAW LEAGUE. Another public meeting, called by the League for the purpose of publishing its objects, was held last night at the London Tavern; Mr. Francis Bennoch in the chair. A considerable number of persons were present. --- :ston would be for the people; and would say, if you are prepared to carry on the Government, do it your selves; we will not take upon ourselves the responsi bility of maintaining these Bills. Then came the point—the Bill was suspended, and they knew what was the result. On the Monday came a deputation which waited on Lord J. Russell, who declared that he could not communicate with the parties, that he had made a communication to the Bank, and that until he obtained their reply he could not give an answer•. Everybody knew during that eventful morning how eager were the mercantile and monied interests to know the result, to ascertain what the Bank were to do. When, however, the announcement was made, there was an universal cry of delight; men threw up their hats in delight at what they believed at the moment to be a great :boon. But in his opinion there never was a clumsier concession made to an universal de mand. Then came the terms made by the Minister that 8 per cent. was to be the minimum of interest to be charged. Now, in all his reading he had never heard of a Government fixing the minimum rate of interest. He had heard of Governments fixing the maximum rate of interest, in order to prevent the money dealers from extorting more than they ought from the public. The Chancellor of the Exchequer— like a wily schoolboy who encouraged others to rob an orchard whilst he himself stood safely near the wall—took the golden pippens, for the Government were to share in the spoil. The Bill of 1844 was virtually suspended, and it would not be the fault of the League if it were laid in the dust. The great organ of the bullionists declared that the Bill of 1844 was the necessary accompanying measure of the Bill of 1819. If the Bill of 1844 was unjust, that of 1819 was no less so—it was the parent of the other. Let the middle classes advocate a paper currency based on the credit of the State. Let them do this, and the time would soon arrive when Mr. Roths child's prediction to which he had referred would be verified. Mr. JONATHAN DUNCAN next addressed the meet- . — , — ,ii xm:xlsr , P'OLICE INVESTIGATION. Yest,ei - day, at the Marylebone Police Court, an in vestiga c n, by order of the Secretary of State was proceedied with before Mr. Broughton and Mr. Long (Lord At ontford was also present), into the charges brought al cainst William Mitchell, the gaoler of this court, in a report made to the visiting justices of Clerkenwe 11. There a ce two distinct charges of improper conduct, in one of 1 vhich Mr. Robinson, well known as a legal practitioat .r of the Metropolitan Police Courts, is deeply co icerned. That gentleman was present, no tice ha - lit g been given him of the intended inquiry, but of f c),- to the parties not being in attendance in his parth ;ulcer case, another agai ns t Mi tc h e ll , wh i ch is alleg a d to ha ve happened since the report of the visit ing mstices was made, was proceeded with.

" Sir,—lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted with Rlummatic Gout, the suffering from which induced Ina to try all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. Daring one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that ho had in some severe cases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored tie to health, since which I have had no return of the complaint. " I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity may know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness.

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.

SLOOP-OF-WAR HOUND AND THE FRENCH BRIG-OF-WAR ABEILLE, ON THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA. The French newspapers have published a very in correct and exaggerated account of an encounter which recently took place between an English sloop and a French brig-of-war on the coast of Africa. The facts of the case are really these : On the evening of the 20th of June last, soon after dark, her Majesty's sloop Hound, Commander Wood, while running along the land off Porto Novo, near the notorious slave trading station of Whydah, in the Bight of Benin, descried a sail which tacked and stood to sea. The Hound made sail :in pursuit ; and having, at ten come up about half a mile to leeward of the chase, Commander Wood ordered the private signal to be made to her ; but some delay occurring in slinging the lanterns, and Commander Wood and his officers feeling certain that the chase was not a ship of-war, he ordered a shot to be fired across her bows to bring her to. The vessel then showed some lights, but as they were not hoisted in the proper form of the signal a second shot was fired, which was re turned by the chase, and which turned out to be the French brig-of-war Abeille. The shots from both vessels were purposely fired wide, and took no effect. Lieutenant Hallett, of the Hound, was immedi ately sent on board the Abeille to offer Commander Wood's apologies for the mistake, which were received with courtesy and politeness by the Commander of the Abeille. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The English Funds continue their down ward course, and have left offto-day at a decline of one and an eighth per cent. from the closing prices of yes terday. Consols, for money, were first quoted 81f to i—they then receded to 81k, recovered to 81i, and finally closed at 81. For the account the range was from 81k down to 81*, at which they closed buyers. The news by the Hibernia from America, coupled with the announcement of the meeting of Parliament in November, caused the decline in the morning, and the increased heaviness in the afternoon was attribu table to the unfavourable character of the Bank Gazette returns, and to a variety of reports regarding fresh failures. An apprehension that the Government are about to call for a new loan for Ireland, and that their object in summoning the Legislature is chiefly to consider the difficulties of that country, was also very prevalent; although, among better-informed parties, it is clearly understood that the sole reason for the step consists in the desire on the part of the Ministry to obtain a species of indemnity for their late measure with reference to the Bank Charter Act. Bullion to the amount of about 50,000/. was re ceived at the Bank to-day from the continent In London to-day no failures have occurred of sufficient importance to call for notice. The letters from the couutry also are free from any accounts of stoppages, except such as are insignificant. The sus pension of another country bank was reported, but it was contradicted by their London agents. Mr. Gardner, of Manchester, is stated to have proposed payment of his liabilities in two, four, and six months. The private advices from America by the Hibernia contain nothing in addition to the published accounts. The general tenour of the whole, as far as regards the balance of trade between the two countries, is deci dedly unfavourable. The accounts of the pressure on our side alone appear to prevent cotton from rising, there are strong indications of considerable exports during the winter of Indian corn, the demand for goods from England is not likely to become active again before the turn of the year, and bills upon this country of a second-class character are still offering at rates much below the regular quotation. CHRONICLE.—An uncomfortable feeling has exhibited itself in the City to-day, and the public seemed disposed to give currency, and some degree of credit, to all kinds of rumours, even of the most ab surd character. One of these was, that an important line of railway had been seized, by parties having claims upon it, under legal process, and that the line would be stopped. The absurdity of this statement, however, soon exhibited its true character. After wards there was the report of a failure of a private bank in the West of England; but on making inquiry at its London agents there appeared to be no grounds for the statement, as the agents knew nothing to lead them to think the bank was in difficulty. Afterwards, the report that the Bank of England's weekly return would show very unfavourably gained credence ; and under all these influences, added, perhaps, to a vague fear that the operations for the French loan might in duce the directors of the Bank to become still more stringent in their accommodation, the Funds were unfavourably affected, and closed at a reduction of I for the account. The reasons for the decline were variously explained, and, perhaps, the anxiety of parties who have obligations to fulfil to realise at once, and secure the certainty of a profit, may have had some influence. Absurd reports regarding the South-Eastern Railway Company have been propagated during the week, but the object of such rumours is very evident, and too palpable to deceive any but those who are quite unacquainted with the position of the company. It is hardly necessary to advert to such fabrications ; but that none of the shareholders may be deceived by them, we may state that there is not a syllable of truth in any of the statements we allude to. SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAlLWAY.—Yesterday afternoon, about one o'clock, a man named Joseph Castles, a carriage-trimmer, was employed at the Stratford station, on the Eastern Counties Railway, in shifting several tenders belonging to the engines from one part of the station to another, when the unfortunate man placed himself between two tenders for the purpose of coupling them together while they were in the act of being pushed by the other men. There was not su ffi cient room for him, and his head be came jammed between the two. The tenders were parted, and he fell to the ground insensible. He was placed upon a train for London, and conveyed to the London Hospital, where it was found that he had received several severe injuries about his head. Very little hopes aro enter tained of his recovery. DELIVERING LETTERS IN LONDON ON SUNDAYS.— An impression seems to have gone abroad that a recent determination on the part of the Post office, to forward the bags which arrive by the Saturday evening and Sun day morning mails, instead of delaying them at the General Post-office in St. Martin's-le-Grand for twenty four hours, was merely ancillary to a general delivery on the Sabbath; we are authorised to state that no such in tention is at present entertained.—Civil and Mercantile Journal. Mr. BENNOCII, the chairman, on rising to address the meeting, w as rece i ve d with loud cheers. Ile began by observing that it was a saying of the late Baron Rothschild, that England, with an ample and sufficient currency, might become the manufacturing country for the whole world, but with a restricted and insufficient currency, the share in the produc tion of manufactures which we already possess must of necessity leave us and go to foreign countries. To so high an authority one would have imagined the Government might have paid some deference, and taken care that this important medium was as ample as the necessities of the country required. The in. sufficiency of our currency, he believed, was mani fested to a great degree by the number of competing manufacturers all over the Continent. Even among the wilds of Switzerland they were successfully competing with us, and the agricultural population of America were striving to make up the deficiency which our own folly, to a great extent, had been the means of creatin g .—(H ear , h ear. ) I n 1819, i ns tead of carrying out th e lib eral views promulgate d b y M r. Rothschild, the B an k o f England fixed t h e w h o l e o f our circulating medium upon the one universal metal —gold. Into that metal every transaction must be resolved, in gold every tax must be paid, every charge of the Customs and of the Excise must be rendered; and when it was found that gold in this country did not represent the one fiftieth part of our triezeantile . transactions, how im possible it was,' aztek t —as`xneslium, to carry on the transactions of the empire.—(Cheers.) Every kind of scheme had been adopted to overcome the difficulty, but nothing had succeeded, and, in his opinion, none could succeed. The Bill of 1819, by converting a debt entered into in paper, added one third to the value and increase of the national debt. —(Hear, hear.) It added one-third to the pur chasing power of all dividends and all annuities pur chased up to that period, and, it had been observed, robbed the public debtor to an equal amount, and laid a burden on his shoulders one-third greater than he had borne before. And what made the burden still heavier was the fact that, previous to that time, our taxes, which were formerly laid on property, had been repealed, because those in power declared that the war, being over, there was no occasion for a war tax, forgetting that equitable notion which men of business ought to possess, that so long as the war debt was uncancelled the war tax should be levied, to pay the interest.—(Hear, hear.) Then came the Bill of 1844—a Bill which contracted still more the currency of the country, laying down as a principle that 14 millions only should be allowed to circulate, but that was without gold, being on Government securities, and every additional million should be issued simply upon every million of gold received into the coffers of the Bank. What were the conse quences of such a restriction ? In times of trouble, of distress, and commercial emergency, discounts ran high, money was only obtained with great difficulty, and the price was raised to an enormous extent, as at the present moment. Then a sudden tide of gold set into this country—it became abundarit—nay, it became so abundant that parties were glad to get rid of it, and the consequence was that gold was as low as 2i and 3 per cent., as, in fact, it had been for the last two or three years ; and thus all kinds of specu lations were set on foot for the purpose of having this capital profitably employed. Our currency, it was stated, expanded and contracted according to the emergencies of the country, but this was not so. At the time it should become contracted it expanded, and when it ought to expand to meet the emer gencies of the country then it contracted, and ruined thousands of persons engaged in commerce and trade. This was according to the scriptural injunction, which said, " Give unto him that hath much, and those who have not take away from them that which they have." The argument of Sir Robert Peel in 1844, in favour of his immaculate Bill, was, that it was on the self- adjusting principle —that its process would be rendered steady throughout the whole country—and that it would make trade prudent and unspeculative ; but every one now knew how far this had turned out to he the case.—(Hear, hear.) 01 course, every one; knew that during the last three or four years there had been no speculation —none whatever—(Laughter)—and they were aware also that there had been no overtrading, and that prices had remained unvaried.—(Continued laughter.) Why, the fact was, that his very promises had been falsified. Not a single point upon which he founded the greatness and truth of the question existed which had not been belied and falsified over and over again. If any proof of this were required, it would only be necessary for him to state that public stock had been reduced at once to 12, 15, and 17 per cent. Consols had been reduced to such an extent that they were now selling at a loss of from 401. to 751. per cent. Coffee, he understood, was also selling at a loss of from 401. to 601. per cent., sugar from 20/. to 401., corn about 30/., wool from 12/. 10s. to 251., cotton from 25/. to 35/., Dien and manufactured goods of all kinds and denomina tions were not to be disposed o f un l ess th e manufac turer would submit to sacrific e f rom 15/ . t o 251 . per cent.—(lleac, t o w n who w o hadere obliged been to o engaged e from larg 3 largely in to 501, and even more per cent., and thus ( i l n lear, railway hear.) spec were confirmed the extraordinary promises of an un fluctuating currency and a profit to every man who would rigidly adhere to his ordinary busines or calling in the world. During the l as t t we l ve mont h s we had sacrificed an amount of money equal to half of the national debt; and these were facts which every man could prove for himself, if he were only to go into the investigation. But the present scarcity would be the means of propelling the tide in the op posite direction. In the course of two or three y ears , or even perhaps in one year, there most likely would be a glut of gold— a phlethora of gold, and then the money changers, bullion dealers, and capitalists would force the market, and an unhealthy and exotic trade would be introduced which would bring us to an emergency like that experienced at the present time. Now the League believed that the foundation of our tasystem was decidedly unjust, and that so ry this obnoxious measure c on ti nue d on the sta tlmounotegn a sta tute-book we shall be perpetually liable to those dis tressing circumstances. They therefore, at the outset, as the foundation and principle of the League, pro claimed an unceasing warfare to the Bills of 1819 and 1844. The whole, the total, and the unconditional repeal of those Bills, they went for, and until they were re pealed they would not stay their agitation—(Cheers) —they would go on educating the public mind upon this important question, and thus they would awe the Government into submission. They would have no tinkering of the old currency kettle I No; if they must have a plaister, it must be a paper plaister. Then, as to gold, there was one question which he must answer. They were asked, " Would you do without gold ? Would you have a currency without gold ?" To this his answer was, that they could do without gold. They did not pretend to say they could do without gold altogether; they would have it as a means of exchange, or balance of foreign transac tions, but they would not take it at a fixed price, but at the lowest price at which it could be purchased. They would always have the gold to be bought or sold at a market value. He hoped that they would be able to satisfy many that there might be a paper currency. Let them look to the case of Scotland. What had a paper circulation done for Scotland ? Why, a paper circulation had cu lti va t ed barren wil dernesses. A paper curren c y h a d made fruitful 17 ofit gardens of deserts. A paper c i rcu l at i on in England didin I t 7 h 9 e 3 s h a a m d e s a a v n e d d the it oa m r r a i e n d u fa u c s t utrberros;gbln 9 years 7 war, finishing a t th e battl e of Waterlo o . A espaper 1/. note circulation bad e na bl e d us t o fi g h t our battles, d through that mea ns w e h a d conquered. In the year , an 1825 the issue of a paper currency of of to l the d extent of 1,500,0001. had save d t h e B ank from ruin. In 1847 ( as we un d erstood), by adopting something of the same pri nc i p l e , many had been saved from ruin. A well-regulated paper currency would prevent those evils from which the country was now suffering. But the League, forsooth, were denounced as " Inconvertibles." Who were the Inconvertibles ? Why, they were those who professed to supply the country with gold, and who could not find half of what would be sufficient. Having adverted to the lament able condition of the mercantile world, and to the re cent failures, the Chairman alluded to the apathy which had been evinced by the Government to a cer tain point, at which the hopeful Wood thought there was something in it, and Lord J. Russell, by the aid of the electric telegraph, and by every means within his power, raised the slogan, and Sir R. Peel came to the rescu e ; and then they bad the nocturnal oc currences. Spirits travelled by night, and th e y f oun d this Mephistophelean minister, with the modern Faust, meeting in D o wning-street; and no doubt there were many expressions of kindly regard, and many affectionate allusions made to the Lady Mar garet, of Threadneedle-street. Sir Robert Peel, no doubt, said it was a hard case for a man to murder children, b u t they must be strangled — or their vitality must be stopped for a period. Then there would be his 1 t Sir Charles Wood and Earl Grey sticking upfor principle, but Lord John Russell and Lord Palmer discussions amongst the Libera s— hey would have Sirve ing, for the purpose of explaining the views of the League in reference to the question at issue, and in reference to the doctrine held by them, that money did not consist in the intrinsic value of the article, said that even the Times itself, which was the oppo nent of that principle, on Monday last, with the pri vileged inconsistency which that journal was allowed to indulge in, had conceded all their proposition— namely, that money did not consist in its intrinsic value. The Times of Monday last, in the leading article, stated, " The basis of a currency must be some thing which already has a natural and spontaneous existence in the country, not an exotic, forced on by the contrivance of the State." Now he did not wish to quarrel with the term " exotic," though it was generally applied to plants, and not to metals; but what became of the bullion doctrine of the Times, when the writer said they must not have an exotic forced on by the State ? 'Were not the Bills of 1819 and 1844 forced on by the State ? Was not the forcing upon us a foreign metal the contrivance of the State ? It was unfortunate for the pur purposes of truth to see such proceedings on the part of a powerful organ of the press—powerful, in deed, on account of its past services. It was deplor able and pitiable that it should be tolerated to utter statements in one part of its columns which were con- tradicted by the City article. It was, however, for the public to correct these ab uses , an d to show in a significant manner—(and the public could put down any power)—that such opinions were grossly insult ing to the common sense of the readers of the Tirnes . journal. The speaker, in the course of a long address, contended that when the rate of interest on money was low the country had been most prosperous, and that when we returned to a metallic standard wages had fallen. The Government, under the arrangement which had been made within the last few days, would share with the Bank an extra 3 per cent., which 3 per cent. would amount to a tax upon the industrious classes. Mr. CAPPS, the secretary to the association, pro ceeded to address the meeting on the subject of the , vil effects of the Bills of 1819 and 1844 on our fo reign trade. Great ignorance prevailed on this branch of the question among men who had been engaged during their whole lifetime in the pursuits of commerce. If we looked to they period from 1800 to 1820, we ex ported 10,000,000/.4nore than we imported. This might appearqo be eratirnal state of thing§ during .those years, because we were subsidising foreig% powers; we were involved in a general war, and had a large army to support. But if he took the period from 1820 to 1843, we exported 29,000,0001. more than we imported, and looking to the official and de clared value of our exports, and the official value of the imports on the standard of 1696 (there being no declared value on imports) from 1800 to 1834, there was a loss of 103,000,0001. The speaker then re ferred to some diagrams showing the fluctuating rates of interest from 1836 inclusive. Now the value of money was generally shown by the rate of interest which it would fetch; but it had been reserved to Lord John Russell's Government to raise the mini mum rate of interest to 8 per cent. ; and this was done to show the stability and steadiness of our cur rency. The gold being at a fixed price, the foreigner preferred taking out of the ,country the low-priced gold rather than the high-priced goods ; but when the" screw was put on," and manufactures were sold at a sacrifice, then the foreigner came back with the low-priced gold. If the gold went up with the goods, then the foreigner would take goods in prefer ence. So the foreigner had the facility of selling at high prices and buying at low prices, and, moreover, to make up the difference in exporting, a larger amount of goods must be furnished to the foreigner, and hence the difference in value between exports and imports. It had nothing to do with what had been denominated, by high authorities, the antiquated prices of value of 1696. It appeared that frcin 1819, in stead of a gain, as between the official and declared value, there had been annually a loss, between the two, of from 2,000,0001. in 1820, to *53,000,000/. in 1842. Let them look to the state of the manufac turing classes, let them refer to the evidence before Committees, and to information contained in the Poor law Commissioners' report—and let men ask whether the tables he referred to did not clearly show the practical working of the system on the operative classes. All the evil arose from Peel's :Bills, which fixed the price of gold. Sir Robert Peel was wrong ab initio in his views. The remainder of the speech contained a vast mass of statistical information, which was shown on large drawings, &c., and which ren dered it impossible to report the matter referred to with clearness to those who were not present. The CHAIRMAN then addressed the meeting, and stated that the society could not proceed successfully without money, and he therefore urged the necessity of gentlemen becoming subscribers. A subscription of 10s. a year would entitle the subscriber to all the publications of the League; or for 2s. 6d. any gen tleman could .be enrolled as a member. The room was very crowded, and the proceedings terminated at about a quarter past ten o'clock. THE COURIER STEAM-SHIP. _ The second of the new vessels constructing for the New South-Western Steam Navigation Company, by Mr. Mare, of _Black wall, and fitted with their machi• nery by Messrs. Maudslay, Son, and Field, was tried down to the Nore this day. We have had occasion to notice the performance of the Express upon the Southampton and Havre station, and the results ob tained in the trial of the Courier are, if possible, more satisfactory. The dimensions of this vessel are as follows :—Length, 170 feet; breadth, 23 feet ; depth, 10 feet 10 inches; tonnage, 439. She is a remarkably handsome vessel, and does infinite credit to her de signer as well for the fineness of her lines, as for the beauty of her appearance ; while in the internal fittings nothing has been neglected which could in any way add to the comfort and convenience of the passengers. Her engines are similar in principle to those of the Express, and are the invention of Mr. Joseph Mauds lay. Their collective power is two hundred horses ; standing in the same space which, twenty years ago would have been required for machinery of one-tenth of their effective force. The cylinders, which are annular, give a length of stroke of three feet six inches, and the diameter of the wheels, which are admirable specimens of those with revolving floats, is twenty feet. The number of revolutions obtained, under great disadvantages, were between thirty-nine and forty, giving a speed to the wheel of upwards of twenty-six miles an hour. The speed attained by the vessel, on the best calculation which could be made, was seventeen miles and three quarters per hour through the water ; and but little doubt exists that when the bearings of the engines have worked smoother than could be expected on a first day's trip, the speed will be maintained fully eighteen miles per hour. We cannot close this short account of an interesting trip without an acknowledgment of the attention which all the party on board received from Messrs. Maudslay and Field, and the expression o f the plea sure which every one felt at the successful result of their labours. The Courier is intended for the South ampton and Havre station, and is commanded by „ Captain Goodridge, wh ose s kill i n the handling" of the Wonder is too well known at Southampton and the Channel Islands to leave any doubt as to the future well doing of the fine vessel of which he has now assumed the control. lowii 'lg. Some prisoner begged of it, but I do not know who. Mr . Broughton—You say Mitchell began the con versat ion with you on the Tuesday, by asking if you had any friends : when was that? Witness—That was l lefore I was locked up. It was before I was brotq ;ht before you, Sir. I said to Mitchell, " No, I have none here." He then asked me if I had got a solici to?.. Mx. Broughton—Di:l he use the word solicitor? Witr ass —Yes ; he said solicitor. He asked me if I knew one. I said no, but I should wish to have one. He th en said, if it was my wish, he did not see any reason. why I should not have one. I thanked him, and tc dd him I should. He then said I will send for one, : ind he shall be here by ten o'clock to-morrow morning. Mr. Broughton—Did he say what solicitor? Wit- ness—He told me Mr. Robinion, and said he had a case there on the Tuesday or Wednesday. Nothing more passed on the Tuesday. Mr- Broughton—When you came on the next day, did you speak to Mitchell ? Witness—l was 'put into a cell, and did not see Mitchell until he brought Mr. Robinson to me. He introduced him by saying this is Mr. Robinson. Mr. Wathen, another solici tor, had then arrived to defend me. Mr. Wathen said, you are very foolish to engagialr. Robinson ; if you . want counsel I will go and fetch them. I told !Mitchell that I should not want Robinson, and he then said, if you don't want Robinson you must pay the man for fetching him. I said how much, and Mitchell said two shillings. I said I have no money now, but when Mr. Wathen comes I will pay you. When Mr. Wathen came I borrowed two shillingo of him, and saw him give it to Mitchell. Mr. Robinson was outside the cell when Mr. Wathen first came. Mr. Broughton—What did Mitchell do with the money? Witness—l think he paid it over to some other person. Mr. Broughton —When you first came to this Court was the officer Mitchell kind to you ? Wit ness—lie was, Sir. t Mr, Brouglan.s,thereony alteratid a t o you irilvis manner after Wathen,e&ne ? Witness— I think there was, Sir, ana I malk4t remark to Mr. Tracey,. the Govewor of WestmrnsterNßridewell,* ,N 4 abpu Iclr. binsonlOgged to be allTiated to ask wit ness a q estion. He was not there longer than a minute, and the moment she said she had a friend coming he left. Mr. Broughton said there was no impeachment of Mr. Robinson's character in that case, and his name had merely been introduced to show that a solicitor had been recommended to be employed by an officer of that court. Mr. WTolff cross-examined the witness at consider able length, and elicited that she spoke to some one about having a solicitor before she spoke to Mitchell on the subject. She had no means of ascertaining that it was beer brought into the cell beyond being asked to take some of it. The woman Marshall ap peared very much distressed, but not bodily ill. The only complaint she had to make against Mitchell was a dislike to be locked up in the cell. Mr. Wolff said Mr. Mitchell had been connected with that establishment twenty-one years, and had never had the slightest imputation upon his character before. He was in a condition to prove that Mitchell had never received the 25., and would call the man who did receive it. Mr. Broughton—You do not dispute that the two shillings was received for the purpose of fetching a solicitor, through the medium of an officer of this court—a system which ought not to exist. Adam Kirsch examined—l know this female, but can't say the exact time I saw her first ; but it was about a fortnight back. It was on a Tuesday when she was brought here. Mitchell said to me, " This female wishes you to fetch a solicitor." I asked her who I should go for; and she said, who I liked. I then said I would go for Mr. Robinson. She asked me who was Mr. Robinson— Mr. Long—At what time was this ; and where wa she at the time ? Witn ess —lt was between four and five o'clock in the evening, and she was in the cell. By Mr. Broughton—l have been in the habit of going on messages at this court for nine years past, and have been paid by the parties sending me. Some times I have not got paid at all. Mr. Robinson gate me a shilling, but that was for getting his horse and gig ready to come to the court. The Magistrates retired, and on their return Mr. Long asked Mitchell what he had to say in answer to the two charges preferred against him. The first of taking spirits into the cell to the woman Marshall, and the other of introducing the solicitor to the prisoner, and taking money for so doing ? Mitchell said there was no glass at all in the cell. After the depositions were read over, andthe.min' com mittal made out, I was obliged to lead this s e w scarcelyalong th the stand.y ard. Shelopened I, f . a a i n n d t tshaatt her h downcoou‘ld of b g afterwardsso ill, l to l, a soe n ne d ali f o u w l l seat,os f haenNdVal wind, esf t . that f n she wshe c t o d complainedsumonotti keep me anything in her stomach, and would die if she had not some re lief. I said, " What will you have ?" and she said anything to relieve the wind. I went over to the public-house and asked for a small bottle, and had a glass of gin and peppermint put into it, for a poor woman, who, I said, was very ill. I took it to her, and told her not to drink it all at once, and left it with her. Mr. Broughton—Are you not aware of a regula tion interdicting the introduction of anything like spirits into the cell of a police court ? Mitchell—l a m, your Worship ; but the late Mr. Rawlinson, in cases of emergency and illness, allowed me to do so. Mr. Broughton—But you know that this woman had been before me and Mr. Fell, when she did not appear at all ill. Why not apply to me, or Mr. Fell, before you did so ? Mitchell—ln such a case I did not think it at all necessary. The woman had no money, and I paid for the gin and peppermint out of my own pocket. Mr. Long—You will now give some explanation whether Ann Simons asked yott to get a solicitor or not, and whether you did not tell her that a particu lar person would attend the next day. If so, I want to know how you can, with the situation you hold, take upon yourself to recommend a particular per son, in preference to any other professional man ? Mitchell—l was not the first person she applied to for a solicitor. I was told that she wanted one, but I said the lcould n hands of the o t (0 police,l neither it until shouldshe N a l • a recom mend e o c u 3 t n i f o . mend any one. She spoke to me after the ma n , an d putting her hand on my shoulder, said, " cann o t I I said I woul4 not recommend any haveoan one s t o o l i i c l i e t r o r w ? h " h whilst she w as i n the ands of the po lice.

" Oh," say s s h e, " the messenger will h e qu i c k er ." I then shut th e ce ll door, and went away for Adam Kirsh, a n d told himthat he was wanted. I t o ld hi m that a woman wanted him to go somewhere, as she wanted a solicitor. I opened the door and told her there was the young man who would go anywhere she liked for her. She asked him if he would go and get her a solicitor. He said who shall I go to, and she replied to any one you like. I think he said he should go for Mr. Robinson. Mr. Broughton—Do you mean to say that Mr. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PonrsmouTn, OCT. 29.—The Blenheim steam guard ship, in charge of Captain Horatio Austen, 0.13., deputy comptroller of steam machinery, Wool wich, arrived this morning at Spithead, and after trying her rate of speed at the measured mile, came into harbour this afternoon to be the ordinary guard.. ship, and carry the flag of the Rear-Admiral Super intendent of the Dockyard. Captain Yates and the officers and men of the ordinary will be officially turned over to her as soon as Captain Milne arrives from the St. Vincent. During her late cruize she went through nearly 220 miles of water, and was under steam about 50 hours. In addition to the other particulars we have given respecting the Blenheim and her cruise, we may add that in going round she only occupied from 61 to 7 minutes, and the same astern about eight minutes ; the time occupied in shipping the screw was about two minutes the time occupied in getting up her steam appeared from 40 to 45 minutes ; in gettingathe screw up entirely out of the water, the time occupied was about 20 minutes on the average, and in lowering it into its place about 61- minutes. The Odin steam-frigate, Captain the lion. F. T. Pelham; the Polyphemus steam-sloop, Commander M‘Cleverty •' and the Stromboli ste am . s l oop, Com mander Fisher (Captain), are ordered to be detached from Sir Charles Napier's squadron off Lisbon, and added to the Mediterranean squadron under Sir W. Parker, in order to strengthen his steam force. The Sidon will also remain under the orders of Sir Wil liam-Parker after disembarking Earl Dalhousie at Alexandria. It is said that the new coal depots are not to be statioaed at Spithead, but in the harbour ; one to be placed off Cold Harbour, and the other in the place of the Maidstone, the present depot, just above \Yeovil . Lake. The reason assigned for not establishing a coal depOt at Spithead, is stated to be the difficulties presented to discharging coals into or out of one in that roadstead in bad weather. It is but fair to say that in bad weather such operations would be imprac ticable ; but the weather is not always bad, and it is not too much to say, that in four cases out of every five that occur steamers could lie alongside a ship at Spithead to coal. With respect to discharging coals into a depot, it has been said that there is an unwil lingness on the part of the colliers to risk damage by going alongside a coal ship in an open roadstead. This is sheer nonsense. The men who fearlessly beach their vesse l s on t h e south coast of England and elsewhere lo discharge their cargoes, are not likely to flinch from going alongside one of her Majesty's ships at Spithead, where they would be guaranteed from damage. Besides, proper care should be taken to have the vessels fully supplied at the proper season of the year. The Rhadamanthus steam transport, Mr. Jonathan Aylen, master commanding, embarked a number of marines yesterday for Plymouth, and sailed this evening for that port. The Arab, 12, Commander W. Morris, sailed this morning for the Cape of Good Hope. Or rs Were s geclived last night from the Ad miralfro send, rle Myrmidon steam-vessel to Wool wich.

At the time that command was communicated to Mr. Wombwell, it was supposed it was the wish of her Ma jesty, which was not the case, to witness the feeding of the animals ; a quantity of raw meat having pro vided, if necessary, been cessary, for that purpose. The two caravans, containing the performing wild animals, having been de tached from the rest, and drawn up on the eastern side of the Quadrangle, just beneath the windows of the corridor, a platform was erected in front, on which were placed twenty-four brilliantly lighted oil lamps, supplied la s i t n : : :: t rn he rn e a x n t d r e a d . from the Castle. Shortly after seven o'clock, her Ma jesty, the Prince Consort, with the Prince of Wales and the Royal Family, the Duchess of Kent, the visitors at the Castle, and the gentlemen and ladies of the Court, appeared at the windows, which were thrown open, of the corridor, Mr. Wombwell's band performing the . National Anthem. Miss Chapman then commenced her performances, showing her astonishing command over the wild animals, highly to the gratification of her illustrious spectators. At the conclusion of this extra ordinary exhibition, which listed for nearly half an hour, her Majesty was graciously pleased to command that a very handsome acknowledgment bo conveyed to the" Lion Queen " for the gratification she had afforded to the Sovereign and the Royal Family. BRIBERY AND TREATING.—The charges of bribery and treating at the late election are coming before us in a less questionable shape. At the Small Debts Court, last week, some rather awkward facts were dragged out of Mr. Merrick, the landlord of the White Lion. In answer to questions from the judge, Mr. Merrick ad.
