The screw steamship Great Britain steamed out of the Mersey yesterday afternoon for Cork, where she will embark between 1,100 and 1,200 men, with rses, belonging to the Bth Hussars and 17th Lancers, with whom she will sail direct for Bombay. A large number of persons crowded the quays to witness her departure, and wish her " God speed." H E S UN, ro N D ON, FItI WA EVENI G, S I E P T'E M B E'R 25, 1 815 7 The ship's head being on the rock, her stern was rapidly settling down into deep water ; the great fear was lest she should at once slip off the reef, in which case all on board must have been at once en gulfed. The troops and officers wore sent below ; the pumps were set a-going ; the soldiers worked up to their necks in water. " I assure you, though we were in the most imminent danger, the most perfect order was preserved, and not a man left the place he was ordered to remain in, and all sat down quietly except those who were employed." At length the boats were got out, and the men all carried to a higher reef between the wreck and the shore, there to wait till they could be finally landed. Thera they stood, those 800 men, reso lute and calm, the sharp coral cutting their hare feet, the tropical sun blazing down on their shelterless heads, the tide gradually rising, with the full knowledge that when it was at its height the ledge of rock which just gave them bare standing room would be covered ten feet deep in water. Silently and steadfastly they stood there, the last detachment waiting for the last boat, with all the order of the parade ground, though another half-hour would have made that boat too late to save them. So now let the Transit pass into history, with cheers, three times three, for the brave British soldiers she had the honour to bear ; and with any sentiment deemed most appropriate for the gentlemen of the Admiralty, who, with ample warning, peril led the lives of 800 men like these, in a tub like this. - -Dully 11 ews. 'ASTROLOGY IN LIVERPOOL. Isaac Ransbury, a pale-faced, sinister-looking fellow, about 30 years of age, was brought up at the Liverpool Pol 7 ce-court, on Wednesday, charged with obtaining money under false pretences. The prisoner was charged with defrauding Ehz ,beth Dickenson, Jnhn Dickenson, her husband, and Mrs. Jane Purshaw, of River-view, Kirkdale, of 2/. 3s. From the statement of Mrs. Dickenson, a rather good looking young woman, it appeared that the prisoner, who was known as a " wise man," had gone to her house, and informed her, in the presence of her husband, Mrs. Pursbaw, and her mother, that she was under the effect of a curse, and would drop down dead at 2 o'clock on the following Tuesday afternoon, unless his cabalistic powers were employed to raise the corpse of her father from his 2rave, whose presence alone could save her from her fate. His charge for calling up the departed spirit was "4 half-sovereigns," but ultimately agreed to accept three at the earnest solicitation of Mr. Dickenson and his circle of friends. The terms being agreed upon, the astrologer ordered all parties out of the room, except himself and Mrs. Dickenson, and they accordingly with drew. When asked by the magistrate why he had permitted his wife to be a?one with the fortune-teller, Mr. Dicken• son naively replied, amidst the laughter of the crowded court, " Well, because I were soft, and that's the truth!" When alone with her in the room, the astrologer pro duced a long tape, marked with figures, and told Mrs. Dickenson, as the first step in the divination, that he must take the measure of her body all over, and he at tempted to lift her clothes, but she objected, and after a few observations about her " planet" the astrologer de Glared the seance ended, and said he would work out the oracle at home. Mr. Garnett (the magistrate's clerk)—You gave him three half sovereigns, then ? Husband—Yes ; they were part of my wages that I had saved up, and I would ha' gi'en him three and forty half sovereigns if I'd had 'em to save her life ! (Laughter.) Superintendent Clough—You are not a Liverpool maul Husband—Naw, Naw, I coons frae Yorkshire ! (Laughter.) a glass.blower, and har bin here frae ten till twelve months. Magistrate—Did you give him any more money ? Husband—Naw, but he wanted 41. to give to 't Lord Chancellor, he said (Laughter.) After the necromancer had concluded the interview with Mrs. Dickenson his services were called into requi sition by Mrs. Purshaw, who, fired by female curiosity, was also anxious to consult the fates. The prisoner offered to rule her stars for 25.6 d., but eventually took 2s. In the private interview he made similar overtures with the measuring tape to Mrs. Purshaw, but these being unsuccessful, he went away after obtaining her age and date of her birth-day. In a day or two he cams back with her " fortune" written out on a sheet of note paper, headed with the usual hieroglyphics. The ," aspect of the planets" was produced is court, and the following is a copy of the strange document, for which Mrs. Pur shaw paid 2s, " This is the figuer of the Heavins at the Birth of the questioner. She is a genttle disposion and Somewhat adopted to jealousy And I find her a rough sperit but very forgiving. She will change from Lodgings on the following year 1858, and will live in a new built house of her own. She will get on verry prospourie Well for the first 3 years in her new undertaking, but She Bigin on a line of grocorey o.a her third year after go id a New house and by this buisness She will not Do well, but on her Cheange from buisness she shall again get comfort able and Prospouris no kind of buisness will prosper with you put a public housekeeping, and if you Bigin poor in that time you will get on well. You will have to take good care of your younger child at the age of 7 years or you will Loose her by Watter. You will not meet maney trubles But you will never leve much riches behind you will live to a old age will see a famt-ley of 3 gills and 2 boys grow up to you. You will go through this life without ever coming to much want, But will never spear much still sufficient to miotain life you will be allways of a suspicions caracter on a count of your husband he is of fond of Drink and sport and will min tain it all life But he could be verry ready made to Drop Drink and be quite also for the cast of 3s you Could have it done, but you are Better make your mind easy and not suspect anything of his bad habits." Mr. Garnett—And did you give him any more money? Mrs. Purshaw—Yes, sir ; he came to me and said my husband was taken with another woman, and that he would charm him for Bs. 93.—(laughter)—but that if I would not give him he would make him go with another woman besides. He told me then he wanted the measure of my bopy, but I wouldn't let him have it. Magistrate—And did you give him money to charm your husband - Mrs. Purshaw—Yes, sir ; for it was partly true what he'd said._ (Laughter.) Mr. Garnett (to the prisoner)—You are charged with telling fortunes. Prisoner—l acknowledge it's all true. In answer to further questions, the prisoner said he came from Belfast, and had only been in Liverpool about five weeks; but the Bridewell keeper said he believed Ransburr was convicted at Liverpool some years ago, and had only lately returned from transportation. T r ite magistrate ordered the prisoner to be committed for three months, and kept to hard labour, as a rogue and vagrant. The following is a copy of the prisoner's "business card :"—" Isaac I. Ransbury, A.D.D. astrologer (from London), planet ruler, and foreteller of future destiny. A true intelligence of lost property, money, or legacies, is ascertained by the planets. Please see my books for information. I. I. R. also um all sorts of herbs to cure diseases. Charges very low, but different according to age, from one shilling upwards." BANKRUPTCY ANNULLED.

The 21 Royal Lanark Militia are to be embodied with all convenient speed. The regimentisupwards of 1,000 strong. The Dumfries Militia will assem ble for embodiment on the Ist October next. The 4di Royal Lancashire Light Infantry Militia assembled at Warrington yesterday for permanent duty, and mustered 36 officers and 910 mdn, and, as numbers are hourly arriving, it is expected th Lt in a f3w days the full strength (1,240 men) will have joined. On Monday the North Down Rifles mustered for embodiment at Newtownard°. Although only a week's notice had been given, and the men were necessarily scattered —some in Scotland and others in various parts of Ireland, following - their various callings—still, at the first roll-call on Monday 410 men answered to their names. Their appearance was highlycreditable, and such as naturally elicited the commendation of their Colonel, the Marquis of Londonderry. All the officers were present. The Soirth Downs were also embodied onMonday last at Hillsborough, when the attendance at roll call was highly satisfactory. TPrBECK OF THE TRANSIT. An officer Commanding troops on board the Tran sit has given the public a:graphic last glimpse of the fate of our old friend. There i 3 so much that is characteristic both of the unrivalled fortitude of our soldiers and the hopeless blunderii,g of our authorities in this vigorous sketch, that we must direct brief attention to two or three of its more salient points. The. Transit was a predestined fa vourite of the Circumlocution-office. The more public pact of her career commenced, as we all know, with a crowning evidence of her proficiency iu the great mystery of "How not to do it." It was not a great de3l that the Transit had to do ; she had only to parry about a couple of hundred noblemen to see the naval review at Spithead from Southampton and back again, and most successfully did she contrive not to do it. Their lordships were too late for the review in the morning, and for the return train at night—a result, it may be remem bered, for which an indignant Senate was led to blame with some asperity a meritorious set of offi cial gentlemen, who had, of course, no difficulty in proving that nobody and nothing was in fault. A performance like this naturally commended the Transit to the especial notice of the Admiralty. Accordingly, when the China war broke out, she was duly commissioned by Authority, selected by. Routine, and rigged by Red Tape, with the osten sible object of conveying some 800 British troops to Canton, but with a general conviction on the pact of the public that her real function was again to display, on a larger scale, another sample of " flow not to do it." She was not long in fulfilling these well-founded expectations. The Bay of Biscay proved almost too much for her ; she strained, she rolled, she made water, she pitched her spars over board, she weltered tub-like on the seas --finally, -with much ado, she was enabled to run into Corunna , to refit. Proceeding on her voyage again she made the Cape in safety. What befel her on the other side was a repetition of the Bay of Biscay experi ence in the most aggravated form. A tropical tem pest arose, with a tremendous sea on. The gale fisted three days. The Transit had " a bad leak her, the iron having split in one i part alone 24 feet. You will hardly credit t, tut ore day we pumped out of her 600 tons of water in the twenty-four hours. She leaked from the time we left Corunna, and of course it increased as we went on. The fact is, that we ought never to have left the Cape in her. No one but those -who were'on board the Transit can form any idea of the terrible perils we have undergone." Those :perils were soon to be brought to a climax. Steam ing at high pressure through the Straits of Banca, the lucklees barque ran upon a sunken reef. The engines were stopped at once ; the water rusid into the engine-room ; the ship had a large bole in her bottom. "Now," exclaimed our milit3ry fri!nd "we have finished our voyage in the T 1 ans it." Then it was that the great quali ties of the British troops on board were' nobly .brought into play. AMERICAN OPINIONS ON INDIA. The question has been asked, will England be able to put down this insurrection ? We ask, in turn, why not? She is the most powerful nation on the face of the globe—she has not only her own wealth, but the wealth of the world at her command ; she has no enemies in Europe to disturb her tranquillity at home, and she has, oftitne, confronted a world in arms. From 1704 to 1801 she subsidised all Europe to fight her battles against Republican France. From 1803 to 1809 she had no less than three coalitions against her—of Aus tria, Prussia, and Russia. From 1803 to 1812 she stood alone with her allies, Spain and Portugal, against al Europe; and from that time till 1815 she was at the head of the European coalition against Napoleon. In 1812 her expenditure was 96,000,000/ sterling, in 1813 it exceeded 100,000,0001., in 1814 it swelled to 118,000,0001., and in 1815 it reached the incredible figure of 126,000,0001. There is nothing like this in all history. Those who think that the great public debt with which she is burdened will prevent her in future frorn making such exertions as she did in times past have not reflected that she is now nearly doubly as populous as she was then ; that the value of her private property is three times as great ; that her tonnage has more than doubled itself : that, from the increase of gold and silver, money is not worth more than half what it liras at that time ; that, consequently, had everything she remained precisely as it was, the debt would be only bell its nominal value, and that of her advancem3nt in all other respects being considered, she has three times the ability to pay. Above all, lisr sons are descended of a race the most persevering, the most indomitable, the most energetic of which there is any accoun She will not only conquer, but she would do so in spite of. all Europe, and with all Europe leagued against her. It has been suggested that she will meet with difficulties in raising troops, as she did in the Russian war; but the English people had no parti• cular grudge against the Russians, and no particular partiality for the Turks. The case is different here. India is their own soil. They will enlist thou ands to defend it.--Richmond Whig. We copy from the Richmond Whig an article on the Illahomedan revolt in India, which speaks encouragingly of the chances of its suppression. Our canteinporary cannot see why a nation which subsidised all Europe to fight in battles against Republican France—which from 1803 tolBl2 stood alone with Spain and Portugal against all Europe, and which from 1812 to 1815 was able to stand an annual war expenditure of more than one hundred millions sterling, should be obliged to yield its Indian empire to the feeble Asiatics from whom it wrested it. Neither can we. There is nothing in Great Britain's present circumstances which woull seem to justify the slightest despondency on this score. Our purpose, in referring to this article in the Whig is less to notice opinions to which we ourselves have frequently given expression, than to draw atten tion abroad to this identity of views on the part of the American press. The enemies of England have endea voured to create an impression that the feeling of this country in regard to the difficulties of Great Britain in India and China is, on the Contaient, one of in difference, and even of satisfaction. There can be no greater mistake. If the American newspapers are . to be taken as any eviden ce of American o p inions, the feeling is all the other way. With the exception of some small Irish papers, conducted by such con sistent patriots as the Alabama's slaveholder, J. Mitchell, we believe that the general disposition expressed by our press has been that of sympathy—sympathy, let it be understood, not for the English Government or the Eng lish aristocracy, but for the English nation, who spring from the same stock and are animated by pretty nearly the same spirit and impulses as ourselves, and who have a further claim upon our regard in the similarity of their political institutions to ours. Whatever may be thought of the Means by which England acquired her Indian empire, there can be no doubt that the struggle in which she is now eugaged is one of civilisation against barbarism, and that therefore all civilised na tions should feel an interest in her triumph. But, in addition to this consideration, there is another which is scarcely less powerful with a commercial nation like ours. In the hands of Great Britain, India is a vast productive field kept open to our enterprise ; in those of the Mahomedans or flindoos it will be, if nct entirely closed to us, an unsafe theatre for speculation. Under such circumstances it would Le unnatural and suicidal on our part if we were to do any thing which would hold out encouragement to, the enemies of England in the present crisis of her affairs. As we can afford to present a bold front to her when she is unreasonable and arrogant, we can afford to be generous to her in the hour of her adversity. It is only by such conduct that we can prove io the world the superiority of republica:i ideas and institutions. —The New York Herald. MIDDLESEX REGISTBATION.—The revising barrister h e ld his c ourt yesterday, at the New Globe, Mile-end No mater of the slightest importarce arose in any o the lists revised. There were some few overseers' ob jections, which were not disputed, and the remainder o the business involved merely the striking out of the names of persons on the register who were dead, or Rho were not to be found, or had not voted for many years. IRELAND, DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING. GALWAY ELECTION INQUIRY. The commissioners appointed by her Majesty's warrant to inquire into the alleged existence of cor rupt practices at the elections for the town of Gal way will proceed to execute their functions on the 29th of the present month. The object and powers of the commission are thus defined : "The inquiry is instituted undir the act 15th and 16th of Victoria, c. 57, and is the first instance in which that enactment has been applied in Ireland. For the purpose of enabling the commissioners effectually to carry on the investigation, they have been invested by the Legislature with v, ry ample powers to compel the attendance of wit nesses and to enforce the discovery of truth. They are empowered to require the attendance of every person whose evidence they may deem material, and by adopt ing the proceedings pointed out in the statute the penalty of imprisonment under attachment can be inflicted on the party absent. It is also to be observed that, as these commissions are the result of a previous inquiry before a Parliamentary committee, the names of all persons im plicated in any objectionable tran;actions are known, co that nothing is really gained by a person absenting him self. On the contrary, it is the interest of any person im plicated to come forward as a witness, as the act enables the commissioners to protect and indemnify the witness from all legal consequences of his acts by giving the wit ness a certificate that he has made a true disclosure touching all things on which he has been examined. The 9th section of the act (omitting formal terms) provides that every person who has been engaged in any corrupt practices at or connected with any election, and who is examined as a witness and gives evidence toughing such corrupt practices before the commissioners, and who upon such examination makes a true discovery to the best of his knowledge touching all things on which he is so examined, shalt be freed from all penal aetions, forfeitures, punishments, disabilities and inca pacities, and all criminal prosecutions, to which he may have been or may become liable at the suit of her Ma jesty or any other person ; and no person shall be ex• cused from answering any question put by such com missioners on the ground th.t the answer will tend to criminate such person. It will thus be seen that a wit ness, however implicated, can by giving his evidence candidly protect himself from all evil consequences ; whereas if he is not examined, or, being examined, shall not deserve and obtain from the commis sioners a certificate, he is left open to a prose cution for his acts, which will inevitably be directed by the House of Commons onZthe coming in of the report of the commissioners. The commissioners can also adjourn as often and as long as they choose, and can make special reports from time to time, and report matters especially to the Queen and House of Commons ; so that the result is, no witness by going away can evade the commissioners, as if he is not there at one time they can resume the inquiry at another. The witnesses will be allowed for their time according to the Treasury scale. The consequence of all these provisions has been that a number of commissions issued in England have worked most satisfactorily, and those who told the truth have obtained their certificates of indemnity, while those who either die not attend, or, having attended, gave their evidence uncandidly, and so lost the protection of the Commissioners' certificate, have been reported to the House of Commons, and dealt with according as their cases deserved." The commissioners aro Mr. J. T. Ball, Q.C., and L L.D., moderate Conservative (and not Mr. John Ball, the late Under-Secretary. as erroneously stated) ; Mr. John Leahy, and Mr. P. F. White, barristers and Liberals. THE IRISH SEPOYS. One or two of the provincial organs of the Sepoys having been again this week championing the cause of their Indian allies, the Belfast Mercury, a Liberal Protestant journal, and by no means hostile to the Roman Catholic body at large, comes to the unwelcome conclusion that the vile senti ments of these writers are shared by a considerable number of the Roman Catholic population. This, however, is an overstrained charge. Sepoy demon ries may, and probably do, find favour in the eyes of a few dozen of scamps in Dublin and Tipperary, but beyond those narrow limits there is no sympa thy or affection. The days of Irish treason have long died out, and another generation at least must arise before the wicked follies of 1848 will be tole rated by any " considerable number of the Roman Catholic population." The Mercury thus puts - the question " Oa what other supposition can we account for the fact that they are put forward, week atter week, by a large portion of the exclusively Roman Catholic journals. The proprietors of those prints have too keen a sense of their own pecuniary interests to adopt a course otherwise than pleasing to the great bulk of their subscribers. W bile, therefore, such meetings as that held in Carrick-on- Suir, and such a repudiation of Sepoyism as the Freeman so creditably manifests, prove that there exists among the respectable Roman Catholics a true, loyal, and manly feeling on the subject, it is utterly impossible to shut our eyes to the fact that among the Roman Catholics of Ireland as a body such a feeling is not shared. When we find journals in various counties giving expression to the most atrocious sentiments, and professing to do so as the representatives of true Roman Catholic feeling, how can we help believing them as long as they are per mitted to exist by those support they can alone rely ? 01 late years many things have occurred to bring Roman Catholics into disodour. Affecting to be the warm ad vocates of civil and religious liberty, they have proved themselves on several memorable occasions to be the veriest slaves of the worst description of tyranny. They howl after an unrighteous ascendancy in this coun try ; they desire to destroy all liberty that is incon sistent with their own aggressive policy, and they make no secret of their ardent hope that Ireland may revolt like India—that every man, woman, and child not of their own creed and policy may be subjected to the sane treatment that the sepoy barbarians inflicted on our brethren in India. There can be no mistake now upon this subject The evidence is too clear, too nnequ - vocal, to permit a doubt. Is it not, then, full time for such of the Roman Catholics as do not participate in the vile policy expressed by such miscreants, to adopt some F ffici en t means to disassociate themselves from those who profess to represent their opinions truly—to reflect their eelings faithfully ?" THE CATTLE DISEASE, A letter ft om Miltown , in the county of Kerry, and published in the Tralee Chronicle of ye3t3rday, says :-- "1 am sorry to have to inform you that the cattle dis ease has mule its appearance here for some tuna pr.st, and is on the increase. S.lrne farmers lfave lost as macy as 12 or 14 head of c It'Ae. Several others who purchased dry cattle in the early part of the year sold them all off at the late fairs, and at a considerable loss." LOLA MONTES. Lola Montes has addressed the following epistle to the editor of the Montreal Witness :—" Sir,—A gentleman of this city has just put into my hands a copy of your paper, in which you make an unpro voked attack on me, and recommend respectable people not to hear my lectures. Now, sir, in the notice which I am about to take of you, do not sup pose that I am moved by any idea that what you say will influence people of real respectability and intelligence. The public press must have already informed you that it is precisely fiom that class that my lectures receive the largest pa'ronage. But a feeling of justice to :myself impels me to ask you what motive any fair minded man can have for assaulting me in the pursuit of an honourable and blameless calling ? Is it not, sir, from the depravity of your own bad nature that the attack thus sprung? Am I not earning my bread as respectably as you are yours ?—and I rejoice in knowing that in the midst of all the malice and falsehood which have been heaped .upon me, I have .never yet to my knowledge been thus assailed by any man who was himself of faultless life. My assailants have been from the ranks of men like yourself, who have no visible means of getting a character but by shouting at the tops of their voices against vice—men who, having worn themselves out in the service of sin, set up to be the special enemies of sinners. My manner of life is squarely and prominently before the public, and scandal itself. does not dare to say that it is not morally blameless. Of course, I can not here enter into any defence of my past career ; but there are hundreds of honourable men on this side of the Atlantic who know that until circum stances threw me into the stormy arena of politics, there was far less of evil report attached to my name than to that of almost any other lady of my profes sion in Europe. The causes which afterwards led to the vilification of my name throughout the world are already beginning to be partly understood, and, with devout reliance on the justice of God, I am patiently waiting for the rest to come. That my life has not been without errors I do not deny, but that I ever deserved the abuse which such as you would heap upon me I do deny, and history will one day vindicate my right to say this of my self. Sir, if you have a wife, a sister, or a mother, I trust that they are of a blameless life, but cannot be more so than the one which I am living; •, and in Lthoelica_d lending may the day be far off when some wicked and bad -- LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 24. hearted man shall do by them as you would do by STOCK EXCHANGE.--The transactions in this market me.l w..

GUILDHALL. —BETTING. Mr. Abraham Davis, described as a gentleman, residing at Dept ford, was placed at the bar, before Alderman Hale and Alderman Copeland, charged under the follow- ing circumstances : Police-constable 325 said—l saw the prisoner and two or three other persons talking together in Bride-lane, this morning, and I took him into custody for obstructing the footway. I searched him, and found a watch, Si. 17s. 50., and abetting- book upon him. Alderman Hale—Had the prisoner and those he was talking with betting-books in their hands ? Policeman—No, sir. Alderman Hale—Did they refuse to go away when you told them ? Policeman—They did not, sir. Alderman Hale—How many times had you cautioned them before ? Policeman--• About four or five times during the morning. Alderman Hale—Have you ever seen the pri soner there before ? Policeman—Often, sir ; nearly every day. Alderman Copeland—lf the officer would go into the passage leading to the Stock Exchange, he would there see bargains done in the consols among persons whom he might just as reasonably take into custody as the prisoner. I consider it a mon strous interference with the liberty of the subject to take a gentleman into custody who has coin mated no offeuce, and I should like to know by what authority they searched him and took his money and watch away. —(Applause.) Alderman Hale—You are, perhaps, not aware that these men assemble in the neighbourhood to the number of 100 and 150 at a time, to the ob sttuction of the thoroughfare and the great annoy ance of the inhabitants ;. and I am determined to do all I can to put a stop to such an infringement of the act of Parliament. Alderman Copeland—And you are quite right too, but in this case there is no infringement of the act, for by the evidence of the officer there were only two or three persons talking together. Alderman Hale—This system of betting in the public streets is becoming an intolerable nuisance ; but as the policeman did not see you in the act of betting I shall discharge you prisoner ; but bear in mind, that Bride-lane is not to be made a place of public resort for such persons. Alderman Copeland—[ am here by accident only, and if you, sir, will direct the attention of the polio - ) to Capel-court, where thousands of barrels of tallow are passed from hand to hand without one farthing being paid, they will find there plenty of stags to give them occupation. I like to see justice meted out to every one alle. The transactions in Capel court are as much gambling as betting in the streets ; and should not be allowed to escape while another class is prosecuted. The police might see the talking to a friend, and take me up and find a betting-book in my possession ; but that would be no offence, and would not justify them in taking me into custody. Alderman Hale—There is no doubt that a great amount of evil arises from this betting system ; for it often induces young men to speculate, and when they lose their own money they embezzle that of their employers, and I am resolved as long as I oc cupy a seat on this bench, I will uphold the law for suppressing such baneful practices to the fullest extent of my power. The prisoner was then discharged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—BmAmY.--John Gardner, envelope manufacturer, Queen-street, Golden square, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with bigamy. Mr. E. Lewis ' for the proscution, said in this case he must ask for a remand, as the principal evidence was at Bath. Mr. Bingham must have some prima facie testi mony before he could consent to a remand. Inspector Park said the defendant admitted he had another wife, from whom he had been separated some years, and made an allowance for her support. Mr. Bingham would agree to a remand, but must require the defendant to produce two good bail, of 501. each, and to enter into his own recognisance in 1001. ROBBERY BY A FOREIGNER. —Jean Triston, an elderly foreigner, was charged with stealing a gold chain from the shop of Messrs. Warwick and Co , gd.,lsmiths and jewellers, 124, Regent-street. Mr. Warwick said the . prisoner came into his shop on the 10th inst., and presented, a paper con taining a list of jewellery and watches, which ho intimated he wanted to purchase. Several articles were shown to the prisoner, and after looking at them the prisoner left the shop, saying he would return and select a watch at tour o'clock. Witness having his suspicions followed the prisoner, and seeing him enter the shop of a refiner in ing street, Soho, he went into the shop and ascertained that lie had offered a gold chain value 71. to Mr. \Velby, the owner of the shop, for sale. Witness on looking at the chain discovered that it had been stolen from his shop: tj The prisoner was fully committed. LAMBETH. —THE CHARGE BY FATHER AGAINST Sox. —Charles Andrews surrendered to answer the charge preferred against him by his father, Mr. E. Andrews, of Park-street, Camberwell, of stealing an Atlas and a pair of scales and weights. A solicitor appeared on behalf of the father to support the charge, and another professional man was in attendance on the part of the accuQed. At the instance of the former the police•constable was recalled, and, in answer to questions put to him, stated that when he took the prisoner into custody he was smoking a cigar, and on being searched, a half-crown was found upon him. Mr. Elliott remarked that the case had been re manded in order that it might be shown, if such was the fact, that the statement made by the pri soner, that he had taken articles by the authority of his mother, was correct. If the mother was in attendance she ought at once to be called. Mrs.ElizabethAndrews, a careworn-looking lady, entered the witness-box, and having been sworn, stated in answer to the magistrate that the prisoner was her son. It was with her consent that he had takeri the property in question, for at the time the family was without food, or indeed anything to eat. In cross-examination, the witness stated that by her husband's directions she had locked the door of their house to keep the prisoner out. Her husband bad stated that he would put her into the work house, but bad never offered to allow her anything for her support. They had not lived comfortably for some time. It was true they had a house to live in, but her husband did not provide the family with food• to eat-. The consequence was that she h•ad frequently sent one or other of the family to pledge some article to procure proper food, having fre quently been left with nothing but bread in the house. This was known to her husband, for she had presented the pawn tickets to him. The wit• ness repeated that the articles charged to have been stolen, had been taken by the prisoner with her consent and by her authority. Mr. Elliott remarked it was unnecessary to pro ceed further. The son had clearly acted on the authority of his mother, and therefore no charge of flovy c)uld be sustained. The prisoner would be immediately discharged. DIPARTURE Or MR. CIIISIOL3I ANSTEY FROM HONG KONG.—Mr. T. Chisholm Anstcy, our Attorney-General, after having been here seventeen months, ha• obtained his second leave of absence, in this instance for four months we utifitratand, and having soli off all his fur niture and given up bis house, he left for Calcutta in the Lancefield. Mr. Henry Kingemili, the youngest mem ber of the bar, succeeds as Acting Attorney-General. It the general impression that Mr. Anstey does not intend• to return here, but to settle in India. Latterly Mr. Anstey:bad become a c.msiderable favourite with many people at one time much opposed t i him, and even we bad begun to feel some respect fer hint for his bold oppo sition to Sir John Bowring and his toadies.

Yesterday a meeting of the members of the Court of Common Council was held at the Guildhall. The Right Lion, the Lord Mayor took the chair, TIIII METROPOLITAN CATTLE-MARKET ACT. This act was ordered to be referred to the Markets Improvement Committee. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said he thought it would be very gratifying to the members to know that in the amended act there were considerable advantages. He would briefly state that formerly they had not the power to let the property at the Nevv CAttle-market in Copenhagen fi Id , for a longer t. , :zin than than one year. Under the amended act they could let the slaughter-houses for 7 years, and the land for 21 years. Moreover they bad oAained considerablt , privileges in an extension of the toll-;, by which they would be able to realise something like an inert ase of 2,5001. a-year. Then they bad ano• ther important privilege, or boon as he might call it. They could now let the contiguous lend for 80 years for building purposes, and still hold the reversion of the property, as they did not intend to part with the free hold, but to keep that for the benefit of the citizens and. the enlargement of the market, if atany future time such a step might be deemed necessary. THE SUFFERERS IN INDIA. Mr. RowE then moved as fellows :—" That this Court regarding with strong feelings of abhorrence the savage cruelties inflicted upon our fellow-countrymen, women, and children, by the native troops of the Bengal army, and deeply sympathising with the helpless sufferers now reduced to a state of utter destitution, is most desirous of aiding the efforts for promptly relieving their neces sities, and directs the Chamberlain to contribute the sum of HOG. in aid of the fund now being raised in thiscountry for that purpose." Mr. WOOLTORTON seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. SOUTHWARK-BRIDGE. Mr. PERKINS, in the absence of Mr. Graves, chairman of the Bridge-House Estates Committee, brought up the report of the committee to whom it was referred, to con sider a letter from the Metropolitan Board of Works rela tive to the throwing open of Southwark-bridge to the public free of toll, and desiring to know whether the Corporation would be willing to co-operate with the board in purchasing the interest of the proprietors of the bridge. It stated that the committee could not recom mend the Court to contribute any portion of the amount that may be required for the purpose of purchasing Southwark-bridge, in order that the same may be thrown open to the public.
