'~ THE LATE HEAVY GALES. (From the Liverpool Albion.) During the whale of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the coast in this neighbourhood was visited by a severe sale of wind, which may be considered as the precursor of the equinoctials, which generally prevail at this season of the year. The squalls and gusts of wind were tremendous, and we fear much damage at sea will be the result. The river was laslled into storm," and presented a highly pic turesque appearance, thickly studded as it was with inward-bound vessels, which have been hurried up by the prevailing westerly winds. We never recol lect seeing so many sail in the river at one time. On Thursday morning the brig Wetmore, from St. Andrew's, New Brunswick, in attempting to cross the bar, caught the ground, and carried away her rudder. She was then driven fast before the wind, when she struck on Burbo Bank, and, as a means of saving the lives on board, the crew cut away her masts. Fortunately, the brig was timber-laden, which kept her buoyant. As the sea was very heavy, with a flood tide, the vessel, after striking several times, was carried over the bank into deep water, and reached the river. She was afterwards taken into the Prince's Basin, where she now lies. On the evening of the same day the American hark Henry Ewbank, Captain Cooper, from New Orleans, whilst lying abreast of the rock, parted with her best bower anchor, dragged the other, and went ashore in Bootle Bay, near the landmarks, where she remains. Her carge, consisting of 'cotton, oil-cake, &c., is being disenrged into lighters. The Clarissa Andrews, from New Orleans, had her sails blown from the yards and sustained other damage. Two sloops got aground near Formby. The bark Hilsborough, from Ly tham, and the schooner Ceres, from Limerick for Preston, are on the Horse Bank, Southport, the former very leak', The sloop Kitty, Captain Foulkes, from this port for Chester, and the schooner Sir Edward, Captain Porter, from this port for 31ostyn, both in ballast, were driven ashore on ThursdaT morning, near Leasowe, and are much injured; crews saved. The statement that the Dublin mail-boat Princess did not sail until Friday morning is incorrect ; she did sail on Thursday night, and was met by the Iron Ditke several miles westward of the Lightship, but the Thursday morning mail remained in port during the day and night, and sailed on Friday morning. The steam-vessel Ben-ma-Chree left Douglas Bay lan Thursday morning at half-past ten o'clock, in stead of nine o'clock, her usual hour, and arrived safely at the Prince's Pierhead at six the same even ing. The passengers, on landing, saluted the worthy captain, Mr. John Kermode, with three tremendous cheers, for the able seamanship displayed by him during a stormy and tempestuous passage. The Preston Pilot says, " On Wednesday night the wind blew with terrific violence, and very heavy showers fell. Several of the posts by which the tele graph wires are conveyed across the Pile Railway, at the Fleetwood end of the Wyre line, ware blown down, and other damage was done at that exposed spot. Morecombe-bay presented a fine appearance on Thursday afternoon. There was a very high tide, and the breakers rolled mountains high, the vast extent of water being one sheet of foam. The Isle of Man boat, the Orion, came over during the worst of the gale, and a considerable number of spectators were assembled at the Mouth of the Wyre, to see her come in. 'The body of a man was washed ashore near Fleetwood on Thursday morning, during the gale ; but we believe it is not known how the poor fellow had'met with a watery grave." The shipping on the Welch coast has suffered con siderably. The schooner Rebecca of and from Hali fax, Nova Scotia, for this port, was driven on the beach at Penrhyn, but has not sustained much damage. On Thursday morning the American bark Soane, Captain Robinson, from Galway for Bangor, in ballast, struck on Carnarvon bar, in a dangerous situation. A lifeboat put off to her assistance, but in passing through the breakers two of the oars broke, and, the boll heeling over, one of them was thrown out and lost. They succeeded, however, in saving the crew crew of the bark. The brig armony, of London, also struck on the bar ; and a schooner is outside, lying in danger. On Saturday evening week the schooner Vine, of Pwllheli. bound to Bangor, was wrecked on Carnarvon bar, during a heavy gale from the south-west, and five persons drowned, one of whom was a female passenger. The hurricane on the Scotch coast has done consi derable harm to the fishermen's boats, as well as the *ger ern. At Thurso a fleet of boats would in evitably have been destroyed, but for the praiseworthy conduct of a party of brave fellows, who put off in a boat from the shore, and succeeded in bearing the feet out of danger. Amongst the Orkney Islands the fishermen were lees fortunate. Nine boats were completely destroyed, three drifted to sea, and eighteen others were greasily damaged, and a father and son perished in a yawl. On the coast of Aber deenshire, also, the fishing-boats have suffered se verely. One boat foundered near Peterhead,_ and all on board pari.hecl. Two large vessels have been wrecked near Thurso, and one, it is supposed, had gone to pieces, as the coast was strewn with her cargo. At Stroma, likewise, a large vessel went ashore, bit, happily, the errs , were saved. Another wreck took place in Melvich Bay, Sutherlandshire. The vessel, whose name was the Marchioness of Huntly, bound from Liverpool to Portskerry, even tually foundered. The crew, however, escaped. During the past week a number of vessels have ar rived in this port from the west Nerd, and from their reports it was found that, ab)eit the middle of August, a gale raged with fearful ifolence in the Atlantic, which, it is feared, would prove very disastrous to shipping. The fine ship Niagara, Captain Russell, which arrived from New York on Wednesday, en countered the hurt' ane in its full force on the 15th ult.; the ship was Thrown on her beam-ends, shifted her cargo, and, when she righted, had six feet water in the hold. The ship Murray, from Jamaica, which assit'ed on Thursday, reported having passed a vessel otplher beam-ends, with sails set, and part of her masts and yards alongside. She was apparently a new vessel, of about 300 tons burden, and had " Oceans, of Washington," on her stern. The Mur ray also passed another vessel in lat. 38 10 N., long. 72 14 W, named the Declaration, dismasted and abandoned. Her hull was perfectly tight and in good ordei, and she was loaded with corn meal. She was again passed on the 20th ult., in long. 64 30, under jurymasts, she having been taken charge of by the orew of a British vessel, who were trying to get her likto Hali,fax. The British bark Platina, for London, was seen in distress on the 20th ult. in lat. 41 30 . long. 66 41, steering for a northern port, having suf fered in the hurricane of the 15th, 16th, and 17th, in the Gulf stream. The ship St. George, from New York for this port, was passed on the 13th instant, with loss of her topmasts The John Henry, which etrrived on Saturday from New York, saw, on the 20th ult., in lat. 40, long. 67, an American barque dismasted, and an English brig with topmasts gene. THE NEW Cunacn, HenNE-HILL.—The rage of tRe Pu.seyism controversy having subsided, and the dis pute about the fixed stone altars and the emblazoned window panels having passed away, the suburban rambler may now contemplate the architectural merits of the new Church of St. Paul, Herne-hill, and join in divine service in its beautiful nave, undisturbed by the eccle siastiCal bickerings which aKendesi its construction and decoration. 4Vhe style is the early English, and the adaptation finely dbaracteristic and harmoniou s to the locality. The interior is at once rich and cha s t e , and the arrangements fur the distribution of light and s oun d are a very full con are perfect. On Sunday last there . gregation, such as is always attracted by the preaching of the vicar, Mr. And e rson. The choir, under the direction of Dr. Wallis (of the Royal .Polytechnic In stitution) perforined its portion of the service in a very superior style. The Doctor's own performance at the organ ilef a quality which we but rarely hear out of the cathedrllo. His issalmody is particularly soft, Hewing, aad expressive. In the cou)sse of the service he intro duced Mozart's " Agnus Dei" with fine effect, and his concluding voluntary, a pedal fugue from Sebastian Bach, was executed in a most masterly style, and detained a large part of the congregation some time after the service. CITY OF WESTMINSTER CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.— Last night, a numerously attended meeting of the friends - of the above a ssoc i at i on, established for the vindication of Catholic rights and privileges, and the more extensive registration of Catholic elector:, was held at the Literary Institution, Great Windm . 111 -street Mr. Pogliario took the chair, and congratulated the • meetino , on the success which had already :Attended th e the association.

It was also in contemplation en the part of the committ ee , a s a means of increasing the Catholic constitue ncy , to eats. blish commodious and comfortable lodging-houses fel the working classes, and to found Catholio benefit building societies. MONEY MAltET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 8 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. te;d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25 35 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 42i, it follows that gold is 0.29 per ORilt'dearer in London than in Paris. By adviccs from llambuigh'the price of gold is 434, per mark, which at the Engltish Mint Price of 31 17s. 10Ad, per ounco for standard gold, give's an exchange of 13 9} ;..and the ex change at Hamburgh on London at short being 13' 10k, it follows that go ld i s 0 .34 per tent. dearer in London;:than in Hamburgh. . - SnAKSPERE'S RIRTH•FLACE.—A subseriptioP. has been commenced at Leeds, under the auspices of the mayor and the vicar, in aid of the fund for the preserva tion of the birthplace of Shakspere.

Two Commissioners sat yesterday, Mr. Commis sioner Evans, who also sat for Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque, and Mr. Commissioner Shepherd, who disposed of his own cases as well as those of Commis sioners Fane and Holroyd. The only matter Ivorthy of note before Mr. Com missioner Evans was that of Alfred Rule, of Leaden hall-street, ship and insurance broker, who traded under the firm of E. and A. Rule. The debts and liabilities are said to be considerable. The following gentlemen were appointed assignees :—Mr. John Cannon, of Bedford-place, Commercial road-East, and Mr. G. Barclay, of the South Sea-house, Thread needle street. His Honour also disposed of some insolvency cases, amongst which was that of Mr. J. Holcombe, ser geant-at law, who came up for his interim order, and obtained it without opposition ; the debts on the schedule amounted to 2,952/. 4s. 7d. There are no assets. The excepted articles consist of wearing ap parel and other nece3saries, to the , value of 151. (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) THE BANKRUPTCY OF OWEN RICHARDS. The bankrupt was a law-bookseller in Fleet-street. This was the adjourned certificate meeting. The case was heard at length on Friday last, when his Honour deferred judgment until this day. The short facts are these :—ln 1843 he took the business in Fleet street from his brother, contracting to pay him dur ing his life an annuity of 2001., and, after his death, 1001. a year to his widow, in case she should survive him, and ke further agreed to take upon himself all the debts of the concern. It appeared that when the bankrupt so undertook the sole management of the concern he was insolvent. He went on trading for four years, and when the fiat issued was more than 8,000/. in debt. The charges sustained against him were dealing in accommodation bills, and a certain bill transaction with a creditor named Macfarlane. The accommodation bill transactions were extensive, amounting to several thousand pounds, but when he failed only 8701. remained due upon them. As re garded the other charge, it was proved that he ob tained a cheque and cash from Ma c f ar l ane , w hi c h h e had deposited with him for payment of a debt, giving him in exchange an accommodation bill, which was not paid. There was no fraud or extravagance proved, and it appeared that since the issue of the fiat the bankrupt had done all in his power to assist his creditors. The COMMISSIONER thought a short suspension ne cessary, and refused to grant th e cer tifi ca t e un til th e Ist of October next, being three months from the date of his passing his last examination. There was no other case worthy a detailed report. Messrs. J. and W. Bell, of Finch lane, news agents, came for and obtained their certificates without opposition. Mr. H. J. Cooke, in Hedge-row, Isling ton, a retail linen-draper ,had his certificate suspended for six months, on the ground that he had sold his creditors' goods at only 7 per cent. profit, whilst, according to the evidence, not less than 12 per cent. was- a fair and adequate remuneration. Protection was granted. IN RE D. E. COLUMBINE. In this case the bankrupt has written to say that the property which is claimed by the assignees for the creditors "belongs to the trusts of his marriage set tlement," and that, as this property was " settled on his wife," their right to its possession has been dis puted, and is now the subject of Chancery proceed ings. As the validity of the fiat itself also forms a matter of inquiry before the Court of Review, he asks "his friends and the public" to wait the decision of these respectiVe tribunals before they suffer them selves to be prejudiced against him. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept 21. IN RE JOAN RYAN. This insolvent,thewell-known chemical lecturer at the Polytechnic Institution, was opposed by Mr. Dov►se, on behalf of a Mr. Murphy, and was sup ported by Mr. Cooke. The opposition was based upon the ground that the insolvent had obtained 1001. from Mr. Murphy, a dis tiller, near Cork, in an improper manner. It ap peared that in September, 1846, the insolvent wrote to Mr. Murphy, stating that having an invention which he desired to patent, he would be very grateful if Mr. Murphy could oblige him with the loan of 1001., to defray the necessary expenses, and promising to sell the patent as speedily as possible, and repay the advance out of the proceeds. The 1001. was re mitted, but never returned. The insolvent was examined, and stated that he had patented two inventions—one for the better preserva tion of organic substances, and the other for the ap plication of glass to new purposes in arts and manu factures. Mr. Murphy's money was expended in prosecuting further experiments in the latter scheme, he (insolvent) having found after writing to that gen tleman that his invention was net quite ripe. His expenses in experiments had been very great, having spent 101. a week for meat alone in attempts to dis cover a mode of preserving it. His debts amounted to 4,0361., of which 2,1381. vore liz►bilities incurred by his connexion as director with the Universal Gas Company, of which he was originally the chemist and engineer, but was induced to become a director, upon the understanding that he was to be indemni fied from all loss. He had sold a share of one of his patents to a Mr. Hall for 6001., of which 550/. would be available for the creditors. In reply to Mr. COOKE, the insolvent said he had the misfortune last:year to inhale some poisonous gas, which brought on an affection causing the rupture of a blood vessel. The patent fbr the extended appli cation of glass could be obtained by the creditors upon payment of 65/., and upon one article of com merce alone, which he darei not specify, as it might injure the patent, it would return an income of 3,0001 or 4,0001. a year. Mr. DOWSE, in addition to the individual com plaint, submitted that the insolvent's description was defective, as in it he was only described as a chemist, whereas he should have inserted his occupation as lecturer to the Polytechnic Institution, at a salary of 2001. a year, besides a share of fees, and also as pro fessor of chemistry to the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth. _ Mr. CooK repudiated all intention of deceit on the part of the insolvent towards Mr. Murphy, and contended that the description was quite sufficient according to the terms of the statute, which required a true and full statement of the names, business, and abode of insolvents—requirements which in this case had-been complied with. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER said, he thought it would be a great deal too severe and rigid an inter pretation of the insolvent's letter to say there was any fraud in the matter. With reapect to the technical objection, he (after consulting Mr. Commissioner Law) did not think it necessary to adjourn the case for a rc-advertisement.. - Theinsol;ent was then sworn, and ordered to be discharged forthwith. IN RE EDWARD POLAND. This insolvent, a young man, aged twenty-four, was unopposed. The Learned COMMISSIONER elicited, on examina tion, that the insolvent was shopman and clerk to his father, a furrier in Oxford-street. His creditors in cluded livery stable-keepers for horses and gigs, jewellers, &c. Mr. NicnoLS, on behalf of the insolvent, said the debts were not to be defended, but the parties who, being aware of the young man's position, had given him credit were not very much entitled to the consi deration of the Court. His HONOUR assented to this proposition, but re marked that the insolvent had no right to indulge in such extravagances as his schedule disclosed, and it was fortunate for him that no creditor appeared to oppose ' or his imprisonment might have been pro longed. IN RE ALEXANDER OPPENREIM. This insolvent, whose petition announced him as a merchant's clerk, commission agent, railway share dealer, and theatrical lessee, of Glasgow, Sheffield, and other places, was opposed by Mr. Cooke and Mr. Dowse. The opposition, of Mr. COOKE was on the part of Messrs. Wright and Cochrane, wholesale stationers, who complained that the insolvent, having obtained goods from them to sell on.commission, had applied the money to his own uses, leaving them creditors for nearly 2001. This case, however, the Court decided was not made out. Mr. DowsE's client complained that he lent the insolvent 651. to pay the company at the Sheffield Theatre, of which he was lessee at the time, upon the understanding that he expected to receive 1001. from his agent at Glasgow, which never arrived, and now appeared to be false. The insolvent denied having mentioned " his Glas gow agent," but said he did expect a Mr. Bain, of that city, to lend him 1001. His ilonoun said that the case was one of fraud, and required a heavy penalty. The insolvent would be dischar ge d at the expiration of eight calendar months from the date of his vesting order. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAr , SION-HOUSE. The LORD MAYOR, in adjudicating on certain sea men's cases, said he considered it to be his duty to observe that the provisions of the Bth and 9th Victoria, cap. 116, commonly called the " Seamen's Protection Act," were of the highest benefit to those whose oc cupations necessarily brought them in contact with seamen, as well as to the seamen themselves ; and his Lordship declared that the service must receive very important advantage from the activity displayed by .the ,Board of Trade in the matter of the prosecutions which were so vigorously carried on against delin quents. • Seven seamen, named Marriott, Ernptage, Coles, Kidby, Vanzandt, Baehr, and Binnings, were charged by Captain Kirby, master of the Prince Albert, of FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY.

Office of Commissioners of Railways, July 21, 1847. this hat Lawn. • BRIDGWATER. FATAL ACCIDENT . — An inquest was held on Tuesday evening, at the Town hall, before the coroner, J. E. Poole, jun., Esq., on the body of Charlesnn Merry, late landlord of the Bull and Butcher Inn, n d evidenceejl a t nc a li p o p ly ea a r e e c d ide f n ro t ill occ th u e rred the following ciretunstances:—Mr. Merry bad some under potatoes to get up in a field a little beyond the western turnpike gate, and went there in company of Richard Quick, on Tuesday morning, about half-past six o'clock, for the purpose of digging them. Re carried a double barrel gun with him, and after entering the field be placed caps on the nipples, went into the next field, and was heard to fire off one of the barrels. He then returned and placed the gun in a ditch under some brambles. A little after one o'clock, Mr. Merry having ea t en hi s dinner, a man called Frederick Tabred, who had b een field, went up to him, and told him working in the next he had raised five birds in the field where he had been working, and that they had gone into an adioining ground. Mr. Merry said he had a gun and would have a shot at them. He then rose, went tq his coat and thence to the ditch, where ho had placed his gun. In a moment after Tabred heard the report of a gun, and on going to the - spot, found the deceased lying on his face and hands, and afterwards found his gun in some brambles, about a yard and a half from him. One of its barrels had been recently discharged. Tabred, assisted by some other men, placed the unfortunate man in a cart, and irnmediatekv• conveyed him to,the Marquis of Wellington Inn, kept by the deceased's brother. Death appeared to have been instantaneous. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental death. Mr. Merry, who has left' a widow and child to deplore his loss, bad but recently taken the Bull and Butcher Inn, %here his respectable management and marked civility had gained for him the good opinion of an extended connexion, and among whom his untimely death is sincerely regretted.-- Wes- tern Flying Post. " What had you for din ner on Sunday ?" k d as e a friend. " I dined off Iducks ." a couple of " Ay, and a If (19a way off, too," WAS the rep l y, . , 1 London, with having deserted from his vessel at Chatham on the 4th inst. Mr. Coleman attended with the register tickets of the prisoners from the office of the Registrar-General. The captain deposed that he was master of the Prince Albert, and that the prisoners signed the ship articles in London on a voyage to Cronstadt and " back to the United Kingdom to her final port of discharge," and that he delivered part of his cargo at Chatham, and during his absence the crew left their work, but returned to the vessel on the following day, when, however, they refused to work, considering that they had arrived at their destina tion. Having Government stores on board which required to be immediately delivered, he, together with the owner of the vessel, remonstrated with the seamen and pointed out their error, but could not convince them that they were at all in the wrong, until they summoned him before the magistrates at Chatham for the balance of their wages, for which the bench refused to make an order, they not yet having arrived at their " final port of discharge." Upon the announcement of that decision, the men consulted together, and would then have returned to their duty, but in consequence of the necessity of the immediate delivery of the Government stores it had been necessary to engage a steamer, with other hands, to tow the vessel to London, to ac complish that object within the stipulated time, and the extra expense incurred by the o bli ga ti on t o do so amounted to 251. The LORD MAYOR—How much was due to the seamen at the time ? Witness—About 4/. to each. In answer to the charge Marriott, who stood for ward as spokesman for all the defendants, denied altogether the imputation of desertion as applied to them, but admitted their refusal to work at Chatham, which refusal they grounded upon the reasoning that their agreement terminated at the first port at which they discharged any of their cargo. He added, that when it was explained to them by the Chatham ma gistrates that they were wrong in the construction of the Act, they returned to the vessel, but the master refused to receive them. The LORD MAYOR, having examined the ship's articles, and consulted Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, said the seamen might have th oug ht their voyage terminated at Chatham, and that the charge of deser• tion had not been made out, but the Act of Parliament made a distinction between " desertion " and " refusal to perform duty," an offence of which the prisoners had been guilty, and as the master had power to deduct the extra expenses incurred by their conduct from the wages due to them, he should recommend that some arrangement should be made between them and the master and owner. The parties having retired, it was found that, after the deduction of the extra expenses, the sum of ss. was due to each, and the men expressed their willing ness to receive that amount. The LORD MAYOR having been informed of the arrangement effected, advised the defendants against the repetition of such conduct, and assured them that if the charge of " desertion" had been proved against them he should, as he had done in every other case, have inflicted the full term of imprisonment (30 days), and he trusted that the loss of nearly 4/. per man would operate as an adequate punishment on the present occasion. Mr. Goodman stated the amount of fines inflicted by the Lord Mayor under the provisions of the Act, since the 30th of June, to be 911., and the number of summonses granted at the Mansion-house to be 198, and these cases were independent of the pro secutions to support which sufficient evidence was obtained. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. James 'Might, of No. 42, Bath-street, City road, was summoned before Mr. Hardwick by Charles Maillard, the conductor of one of the Hamp stead omnibuses, for refusing to pay him his fare. The complainant said the defendant got into his omnibus in Holborn and got out at the corner of Ox ford-street. Complainant demanded his fare, but the defendant refused to pay him more than 3d. The fare was 6d. The defendant said he refused to comply with the complainant's demand because he felt that he had been made the-victim of a trick, and because he was desirous of protecting the public, and more especially females, against this trick, which he understood was frequently resorted to. The complainant's omnibus had the words " Holborn," " Oxford-street," on it, in large letters, so as to lead the public to believe that the omnibus traversed Oxford-street, whereas it only passed the corner of the street, and proceeded up Tot tenham-court-road. When he got into the omnibus he told the conductor to set him down at Duke-street. The conductor did not say anything to undeceive him with respect to the route of the omnibus, and he only found the matter out from hearing a person make an - inquiry of the conductor. When he got out at the corner of Oxford-street, he tendered the con ductor threepence for his short ride, as that was the charge of the regular Paddington omnibuses, but the conductor would not take the money, and pointed to the writing outside of the omnibus. lie looked closely at the writing, and found the words "corner of" in very small letters, placed close to the words " Oxford , street" in large letters. This evident attempt at im position made him determined to try the question of the legality of the conductor's demand. Mr. HARDWICK considered it was unfair towards the public that the words should be so placed on an omnibus as to induce people to believe that the route of a vehicle was in a particular direction when the fact was not so. The defendant, had, however, positively declared that he named Duke-street, when he got into the omnibus ; and, presuming this to be the truth, he must dismiss the summons against him. Caroline Bradbury, better known for the last twelve years at this court as Caroline Guest, was charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance at one of the west-end club-houses. Mr. HARDWICK sent her to prison for twenty-one days. Just before the arrival of the van for the removal of the prisoners, an alarm was given by some of the women confined in the cell where Caroline Bradbury was placed, that one of the prisoners had cut her throat. The cell was promptly visited by the gaolers, and the discovery was made that Caroline Bradbury had forced a penknife into her throat, and had made a wound of about an inch in length. The woman was immediately removed in a cab to Mid dlesex Hospital, but after the wound was dressed, it being the opinion of the medical man that nothing serious was to be apprehended, she was eventually taken to St. Margaret's Infirmary. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday a young man, who gave his name Charles Sileesler, was brought before Mr. Brough ton, on the charge of having, in the daytime, stolen a number of silver watches, a metal watch,_ a gold case, and a silver guard chain, from the shop of Mr. John Morris, a watchmaker, in Margaret-terrace, Harrow-road. The prosecutor stated that on the same afternoon, at two o'clock, he ,went down stairs to dinner, having previously locked his shop door and left the key inside ; in the course of ten minutes he was informed that he was wanted, as there was someone at the door, and on his running up he found the prisoner in the parlour; he immediately collared him, when prisoner struck at him twice, and made his way out at th e door; prosecutor followed him, and saw him take from his pocket a handful of watches, which he threw into a chaise cart standing a short distance off, and then ran away; he (prosecutor) picked up from the vehicle three silver watches and a gold case; and while in the .act of doing so another man who was seated in it alighted, saying that he would follow the person who had made his escape. Prosecutor added, that he kept possession of the horse and vehicle while other persons were gone in pursuit of the thief, and that they were ultimately taken to the green-yard; a hat and whip were left behind in the shop. Other evidence was gone into, showing that the prisoner was ultimately taken into custody at a marine store-shop keeper's in North Wharf-road,into which he had run on finding that he was hotly pur sued, and that on the moment of his entry he thrust three other watches and a chain beneath a quantity of rags which were in a basket upon the counter. Sin gular as it may seem, a person named John Rogers, who was mainly instrumental in capturing the pri soner, discovered amongst the three watches last al luded to one of his own, which a short time previously he had sent to prosecutor's to be repaired. The pri soner was •conveyed to the station-house by Police.. constable 198 D, who, on searching him, found in his possession a pocket-book, a box of lucifers, a knife, and other articles; on the cart was painted " William West, Brixton, Surrey ;" the man who was in it ef fected his escape. A "life preserver" was found in the cart. The property was produced and identified by the prosecutor, who, as other witnesses examined, said, that they should not be able to swear to the man who alighted from the vehicle, under pretence of doing all in his power to secure the thief. The prisoner, who had not a word to say, stand committed upon the charge, but will be brought up again next Tuesday, Mr. BROUGHTON observing, that in the event of publicity being given to the proceed ings, some further evidence of an- important nature would probably be fortchcoming; the name and ad dre'cs on the cart might, perhaps, lead to the appre hension of the prisoner's companion. The prisoner was then locked up: WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday, a well-dressed man, who gave the name of James Brookes, but whose real name is said to be James Augustus Seymour, was charged with having obtained goods under false and fraudulent pretences. Mr. William Dosell, a baker in Brook-street, Ratcliffe, stated that on the 21st ult. the prisoner called at his house, and, intimating that he had opened a shop in the general line in Cross-street, St. George's-i n -th e -E as t, f or w hi c h he had paid a pre mium of 50/, requested to be supplied with bread, as he understood, he said, that the _witness sold an ar title of a description superior to that of any trades man in the neighbourhood. After stating that he carried on a full-priced business, the prisoner gave an order for three bushel: of bread and a quantity of flour, with a distinct understanding that they were to be paid for on the day they were delivered, and re ferred him to a Mr. West, a baker in Rat cliffe-highway, with whom he alleged he had had considerable dealings. The witness's subsequent inquiries of the referee having been answered.in the most satisfactory manner, he executed the order at the time appointed, but, on calling on the following day for the money, he was astonished to find a printed announcement in large characters in his window, worded " Glorious news ! Bread down to fid. !" although the witness had actually supplied him the article at a higher price; and on his demanding an instant interview with the prisoner, he was informed by his wife that he had left town early that morning, and she was doubtful when he would return. He called several times for his money, but without being able to see the prisoner, and ultimately found the shop shut up, and the premises deserted. Mr. Thomas Madden, a baker in Spitalfields, de tailed the particulars of a similar application on the 25th ult. from the prisoner, who then represented himself as an engineer about to embark some capital in a retail business to be managed by his wife, while he was pursuing his own avocation, and who also, as in the last case, referred him to Mr. West. Childs, a City constable, stated that, in consequence of instructions he had received from the last two wit nesses, he had been since in constant search for the prisoner, whom having accidentally met on the pre ceding afternoon he took into custody, and on pro ceeding to a shop on Tower-bill, which the prisoner had, subsequently to the last transactions, opened in his right name of Seymour, he found it partly stocked with pots of bear's grease, and such like articles of perfumery. The witness had been well acquainted with the prisoner for several years and knew that he had never been au engineer, as he had represented, and could also state that he had been several times in custody on previous occasions for other offences. _ . Mr. llunt, who conducted the prosecution, and said that he should be able to conclusively establish a charge against the prisoner of conspiring with other persons to cheat and defraud tradesmen to a great extent, applied for a remand, that he might be prepared with evidence in several other charges, and The prisoner, who had cross-examined the different witnesses with great ability, but without giving a difl'erent complexion to the cases, was ordered to be brought up again next week to afford an opportunity for that purpose. LAMBETH. Mr. Charles Hicks was brought before Mr. Elliott for final examination on various charges of obtaining money upon false and fictitious cheques. The pri soner, it appears, has gone through a somewhat lengthened career of imposture, and sueceedeil, by drawing cheques to the orders of officers in the army, and making them payable at the offices of Messrs. Cox and Greenwood, and other respectable army agents, in making many victims. The evidence in four or five clear cases was taken, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. WESTMINSTER. Yesterday Michael Mahoney, apparently about 17 years of age, was charged with breaking into St. Mark's College, Chelsea, and stealing several sets of mathematical instruments, a great number of books, wearing apparel, and other property. On last Sunday morning it was discovered that some person had effected an entrance into the college. The prisoner was formerly a pupil at the college, but was expelled about nine months ago for misconduct. He had subsequently been found concealed on the premises, and committed for a month from this Court. Suspicion was directed towards him, and he was taken into custody on Monday evening, when a great por tion of the missing property was discovered. Two pawnbrokers produced property (also iden tified), and one of them recognised the prisoner as the person who pledged it at his shop. Joseph Hanson, 122 V, said that a person named Turner, connected with the workhouse of St. George's, Hanover-square, had met with the prisoner and lodged him in the station-house of the C division. He (Turner) had found some of the property upon him. • Mr. BRODERIP inquired whether Turner was in attendance ? The constable said that he was not. Mr. BRODERIr ob,erved that the evidence of Turner could not be dispensed with. _ _ Robert Alettell, 181 1 . 7 . , said he searched the pri soner's room at 22, George-street, Grosvenor-square, and found a great portion of the property produced. Mr. BRODERIP observed, that he must remand the priioner for a week in order to procure the necessary evidence to complete the case. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY. The Fury first-class steam-sloop, of 6 guns, 1,123 toss, and 515 horse power, Commander J. 'Willcox, returned to Spithead last evening after her trial trip round the Isle of Wight. She got - under weigh yesterday morning at twelve o'clock, and tried her rate of speed at the measured mile in Stoke's Bay. At starting she made eight knots ; the second hour she went nine, and the third hour ten knots, at which latter speed she con tinued to work during her circuit of the island, which she made (upwards of sixty miles) in six hours, hav ing anchored at Spithead a few minutes before six o'clock. She had in six months' provisions under hatches, fifty tons of water, twelve months' stores, 375 tons of coals in bunkers, and the fullest equip ment for her complement of 160 men. She carries one 68-pounder long gun astern, and one in the bow, on pivot slides and carriages, and four long 32-pounders, on Hardy's slides and carriages, all on the upper deck. She drew yesterday 14 feet 11 inches forward, and 15 feet 7 inches aft. Outside the Wight, in a sea way, she was perfectly easy, very dry, and proved herself in every way quite equal to all that had been expected of her. Captain Willcox has carried out, in his vessel, several very va luable improvements; amongst others, she is fitted with circular hatches over her engine-room, which in warm climates throw open the whole area of the engine-room to the currents of the deck, rendering this part of the ship as well ventilated and almost as cool as the captain's cabin or gun-room ; this plan also affords the most perfect security in a gale of wind, preventing the shipment of seas in the engine -room, and not in any way obstructing the clear look out from stern to stem • her hammocks are stowed the length of the paddle-boxes in berthings fitted just under the bridge, instead of around the funnel, as in other ships, which gives more room in consequence around that object. She is also fitted with the new slides and pivots for her revolving guns, which during the three or four times of working them at quarters have been found to answer most admirably. The Odin is the only other vessel fitted in a similar way. The engines of the Fury are perfectly new, by Rigby, of Flintshire, with all the latest improvements, the whole being of wrought iron. After two or three days' coals have been consumed her speed is expected to exceed twelve knots, increasing as she lightens. A. spare set of brasses is being cast for her revolving guns to take away with her. She leaves to-morrow, after post time, for Plymouth, whence she will proceed in about a week for Rio direct and the East Indies, taking out dispatches for Lord Howden and Commo dore Sir Thomas Herbert, and letters and supernu meraries for the squadrons in the River Plate and the East Indies. She is well manned, admirably officered, and most ably commanded. No ship could leave a British port under more favourable auspices. She will most likely be absent from home five years. The Geyser steam sloop, Commander F. T. Brown, is ordered to St. Helena and the Cape, and will be ready to leave by the end of this week. The Amphitrite, 25, Captain T. R. Eden, and the Trincomalee, 25, Captain R. L. Warren, got under weigh after dinner this day, and proceeded to join Sir C. Napier's squadron, in which they will be well tried before proceeding to their destinations—the former to relieve the Action on the coast of Africa ; and the latter to the West Indies. They call at Ply mouth for letters. The Fisgard, 42, Captain Duntze, sailed last night after dark for Woolwich to be paid off, and fitted as a depot receiving-ship, in lieu of the William and Mary yacht. The Bellerophon, 78, fitting alongside the jetty for a troop-ship, hauled off this afternoon to allow the Rowe, 120, to come alongside to-morrow to fit for the reception of the Queen Dowager and suite. The Vernon Indiaman, 1,000 tons, Captain Voss, for the Cape and Madras, due nearly a week ago, only arrived this morning from the river. Sir Harry Smith will embark to-morrow, and she will sail, it is ex pected, immediately afterwards. WOOLWICIL—The Caradoc new iron steam-vessel, built by Ditchburn and Mare, and fitted with engines by Seward and Co., went down the river on Friday last on an experimental trial, and between the Nore 3nd House lights made a speed of nearly 17 miles an hour. _ . . The Onyx steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Robert Mudge, arrived at Woolwich, from Dover, on Friday, and will be taken up the river to Deptford to-morrow to have her engines repaired by the Messrs. Penn. The Antelope steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Smyth, is under orders to leave this port on Thurs day for the Mediterranean. She takes out a very handsome carriage and a landau, with several beauti ful carpets, and other presents, for the Bey of Tunis. It has hitherto been usual to secure similar articles from liability to damage by sea-water, by packing them in cases lined with tin and soldered, but the authorities here having expressed an opinion that cases covered with marine glue would be as effectual and less expensive, their Lordships at the Admiralty ordered Mr. Jeffery to proceed to Woolwich and apply his marine glue to the cases. The application of the marine glue to this purpose is made at one-fourth the expense of tin cases, and the canvass may be gibe,- quently applied to other similar purposes with one additional coating, the priming being equally gob(' as when first applied. About five hours on Saturday and a few hours to-day, have sufficed to prepare the cases. THE RIVER PLATE. (From the Comercio del Plata.)
