TENANT RIGHT. DINNER TO WM. S. CRAWFORD, ESQ., M.P. A dinner was given to William Sharman Craw ford, Esq., M.P., on Wednesday evening, in Corpo ration Hall, Londonderry, by the members of the Tenant Right Association, and other admirers of that gentleman, for his advocacy of the principle of tenant right. Alexander Lindsay, Esq., the Mayor, presided. The PRESIDENT, after the usual loyal toasts, pro posed, " William Sharman Crawford, Esq." Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, M.P., rose to respond, and was greeted with loud acclamation. He pro ceeded to say that he thought he could not do better, in commencing his address to them on that occasion, than to take as his text the answer recently delivered by his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant to an address which had been forwarded to him from the General Assembly, and, in doing so, he could not refrain from saying that the General Assembly had placed them under a debt, by bringing for ward the subject of tenant right so prominently in the address which they had sent forward to the Lord Lieutenant, and being the means of drawing from his Excellency the sentiments to which, in his reply, he had given utterance.—(Hear, and cheers ) In analysing the answer of the Lord-Lieutenant, to which he had referred, it would be found that his Lordship first acknowledged that many of the evils of Ireland are to be traced to the rela tions at present existing between landlord and tenant; that, by the insecurity thereby occasioned, the investment of capital and the progress of industry was checked; that this state of things endangers the tran quillity and prevents the advancement of the country ; that a remedy should be applied; that the subject is under the consideration of Government; he added that the subject is one of difficulty, and should be treated with caution ; and his Excellency at last states that the sacred rights of property must be strictly guarded.—(Hear, hear.) Now, in every word of this answer, in every sentiment here put forth, he (Mr. Crawford) most cordially concurred ; and he did say, that coming from a party so high in authority, such an admission, as that " many of the evils of Ire land arose from the state of the existing relations between landlord ant tenant" was one which could not be regarded as other than one of the very highest im portance. If they stood in need of any justification for bringing this great question before the public, that admission of his Excellency, in the answer to which he referred, was ample apology-Hear..) His Ex cellency says, in the conclusion replyLthat the sacred rights of property' must be strictly guarded. It would almost seem t t liat he bad :some apprehension that by the questleas of tenant.:right rights of property would be in some way endangered. —(Hear.) His (Mr. Crawford's) object was to show, by what he was about to say, that tenant-right would not endanger the rights of property ; on the contrary, that it was the only means by which the rights of property could be effectually and substantially se cured. The sacred rights of property ! He would put it to them whether the rights of property could be regarded as sacred, if the rights of labour were not looked upon as sacred to ? What bad been the origin of all property except labour? What, except labour, created property of every description ? And bow, he would ask, could they talk of the sacred rights of pro perty, if they refused to secure what were the foun dation of all property, namely, the rights of labour ? He would put it to them whether the trust under which the land had been originally conferred had not been violated—whether it had not been grossly violated throughout the whole of Ireland, with some few exceptions ? There was not, in the first place, sufficient food throughout a great portion of the country for the people, there was, moreover, no em ployment for the people, and in the south of Ireland in many places they were in immediate danger of star vation. The lands in these very places were lying waste and uncultivated, and in other places it could only be called partially productive. He would now draw their attention briefly to a short statement of the capabilities of Ireland. Ireland contained 14,000,000 of arable acres, and 4,000,000 of acres of waste lands; supposing a five years rotation of cropping, two-fifths of the 14,000,000 of arable acres should be annu ally in corn, which would be an area of 5,600,000 acres ; it would be a reasonable calculation to say that the produce of this would be 17 cwt. te every statute acre, which would amount to 4,700,000 tons, and taking the population at 8,000,000, it would allow 12 cwt. to every man, woman, and child in Ireland, which, allowing five to each family, would be three tons to every family in the kingdom. This calculation showed that of corn alone there could he nearly double the quantity required for the support of the people raised from the land ; and when they came to consider that this was exclusive of the re maining three-fifths, which would be employed in raising other productions, either for the support of man or of cattle, they would see that the capabilities of the country were very great, and they could com pare the state of things which might be with the state of things which actually exists—starvation for want of food, from stinted production.—(llear, hear.) There was another point of view, however,—namely, that of the employment of the people, which might be given, provided a proper stimulus were given for the increased productions of food. Such a stimulus, they contended, this measure of tenant-right would prove. Suppose that, by any stimulus, they could induce every occupier of land in Ireland to spend IL on each acre of his farm, there would be 14,000,000/ at once put into circulation for the employment of the people; and this sum would afford wages, at the rate of thirteen-penes a day, to 772,000 persons, each of whom representing a family of si, would make it the furnishing means of support to upwards of four millions of persons.—(Hear.) This statement might give the company sonic idea how the country were suffering from the absence of such security for the investment of capital as tenant-right would afford. It was his opinion that if, through the means of a fair and proper measure of tenant-right, the security of the rights of labour were recognised, an impetus would be given to improvement, such as would meet all the requirements of the country, and there seemed to be no other way to do it. It did appear to him to lay the foundation for a fair and final definition of the tenant-right.—(llear, hear). It prayed for " a law to secure en equitable tenant-right in the convertible value created in, and superadded to, the soil, by the industry, skill, and l a b our o f th e t enant, an d w hi c h shall give a legal right to full compensation for the whole value, and all improvements made by the tenant, whose landlord will not, on reasonable terms, renew his tenure ; and which will enable every tenant, who may wish to relinquish his occupancy, to sell the same to the highest and most eligible pur chaser." In all and every part of this definition of the tenant-right he most cordially concurred.— (Hear, hear). He contended that the return of the money laid out as expenditure on land was not com pensation to the tenant obliged to relinquish his holding. In any ordinary mercantile speculation, it would be regarded as very hard indeed, unless the speculator was able to increase his stock by a trans action—(Hear, hear)—and he thought it right to be the same in land, and that the te nant should not he deprived of the benefit of it. Instead, however, of the full amount of profit arising out of his expenditure, the tenant is denied any por tion of it, and he maintained that this . was not honest. The amount of increased value of the land should be taken, since the tenant came into possession, and that be should be allowed his share of the profit in the shape of a number of years' purchase of the land, for the increase of its permanent value. These were his genfral views of the subject. It was not for him now to gb into particulars; he was not dealing with de tails, but with; general principles. He did not mean to contend that this system of tenant-right alone would bring about such a change as they could desire to see. The people would require to be instructed in proper methods and systems of agriculture, model schools would have to be established, and other means taken to enlighten the people ; but properly regulated 'tenant-right would give a stimulus to improvement kitherto unknown. There were other means wanting to push forward the prosperity of the country. The lanai rds of Ireland had been always too much fa- Ifeured by the Parliament ; this had the effect of in 'creating their extravagance, and the fact was, that the7ll °Ns were incapable of doing what they ought, even if the me for Go ey m were so inclined. It would be necessary and facilitate e tre t° take a bold step in this matter, land.—(llear hear.) of encumbered estates in Ire save in the proprieri)orsh' had no dependence in life strange thing if he woalof land, and it would be a that he thought would have t he to promote a measure t it he effect of' deteriorating the value of his own pro or allow him but a ...r remnant of it to leave .

The Lord Chancell or took his seat on the bench at half-past one, and was occupied for a considerable time upon an appeal case, the details of which did not, however, possess any matter of public interest. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 2. (Continued from our Afuernoon Edition of yesterday.; LICENSING PUBLIC-HOUSES.--THE JUSTICES OF ESSEX Mr. HUMFREY, Q.C., applied to the Court, on be half of a publican in Essex, to issue a mandamus, calling upon the justices of Essex, at quarter sessions assembled, to show cause why they refused to grant the person on whose behalf he appli e d a license. It appeared that the justices had refused his application and that he had carried an appeal to the quarter ses sions, the justices at which refused to entertain his application on the grourtd that he did not, in the terms of the Act George IV., c. 61, state that he was aggrieved by the act of the justices. It ap peared, however, that he did state, though not in the exact terms prescribed by the Act, that he had suf fered by their act.—Application acceded to. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 2. Th;s being the first day of term, their Lordships, after breakfasting with the Lord Chancellor, came down in procession to Westminster Hall. The Lord Chief Baron, Baron Parke, Baron Alder son, and Baron Rolfe, took their seats on the bench about half-past one o'clock. (Sittings in Banco.) DROMIBLAW AND DROWN v. SAUL AND OTIIBRS. In this case Mr. MARTIN moved for a rule :fsi to enter a verdict for the plaintiff on tile several issues, or to reduce the damages. The cause was tried before Mr. Justice Wightman at Liverpool, and a verdict entered for the plaintiff for the sum of 4,6504 The declaration was an assumpsit, and stated the following facts appeared that a Mr. Scarisbrook, a gentleman of property in Lancashire, the owner of a colliery, and plaintiffs alleged that, in the year 1842, an agreement had been come to between them and the plaintiffs, and a third party, one Thomas Oldham, for a lease to them of this colliery. That contract was alleged to be contained in certain letters put in evi dence at the time of the trial. By that argreement the sum of cool. per annum was to be paid to Mr. Scarisbrook. The parties entered into possession in the year 1842, and erected a considerable quantity of machinery, for the purpose of working the colliery in question. The colliery was, how ever, worked only to a very small extent, and no rent whatever was paid. On the 13th of March, 1847, the plaintiffs and defendant entered into an 'agreement for a free conveyance of the plain tiffs' undivided two-thirds interest in the property, and after the agreement they went to the attorney of Mr. Scarisbrook, at Wigan, and upon the recommen dation of the plaintiffs asked him to execute a lease direct to them. The attorney stated that about 2,000/. was already due for rent, and until that sum was paid Mr. Scarisbrook could not execute the lease. The defendant (upon this paid a sum of 7001., and gave two acceptances of 7001. each for the balance, upon which Mr. Scarisbrook executed the lease, taking no notice of the former bargain. Mr. MARTIN now contended that the case ought to stand alone upon the letters which had passed between the parties, and that the verdict ought, therefore, to be entered for the defendants upon all the issues in which the production of the letters was concerned. The COURT suggested that, as several points of law were connected with the case, it would be better to make a special case of it. To this course Mr. MARTIN assented, and stated that he would speak to the other parties upon the subject. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 2. ROGERS AND ANOTHER V. NOWELL. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) The declaration alleged that the defendants put a mark—V. R., a crown, and the name J. Rogers and Sons—upon penkaive sof an inferior description ma nufactured by them, for the purpose of falsely repre senting them as those of the plaintiffs, and that they were thereby hindered and deprived of disposing of a large number of knives. The Learned Counsel then submitted that it was shown at the trial, that, instead of losing by the act of the defend ants, the plaintiffs business had greatly increased, and that the penknives in question were not at all inferior to those made by the plaintiffs. Then, with regard to the summing up, the Learned Judge laid it down as a general principle, and as the only principle of law involved in the case, that no man had a right to sell his own goods under the &lie repre sentation that they were the goods of an other, and that such other person had a right of action against the party. Mr. Chambers then stated that the mere false representation that the goods belonged to another party would not sustain an action, without an intention to defraud, and some proof being given that damage had resulted there from. The arguments of the Learned Counsel occupied the Court the whole afternoon, at the conclusion of which The CIIIEF JUSTICE said it appeared to him that there was no ground to justify the Court in granting the rule. The action arose out of very ordinary cir cumstances, and he thought it wou ld b e a repr oac h t o our law if the verdict was not sustainable. The real question was whether the law would protect a man from having goods sold as made by him, when in truth they were not made by him. He, therefore, with regard to all the points urged, viz., the summing up, the damages, and the arrest of judgment, was of opinion that nothing had been sustained by the learned counsel to entitle the court to grant the rule. The other judges concurred in the above opinion. Rule accordingly refused. The court did not adjourn until a quarter past five o'clock. ARCHES' COURT, Nov. 2. This being the first day of term, the sessions of the ecclesiastical Courts were opened with the customary solemnities. Dr. Fetherston Stonestreet, of St. J o h n ' s C o ll ege , Cambridge, was introduced in the usual form, and, after taking the oaths, was a d m itt e d an a d vocate, b y virtue of a rescript from his Grace the Lord Arch bishop of Canterbury. THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED DY BROOKES AGAINST CRESWELL. This proceeding against the Rev. HenryCresswell, car of Creech St. Michael, was originally vi a Somerset, for certain excesses, in which the Court held the articles to have been proved, and sentenced Mr. Cress well to be suspended from office and bene fice for eighteen months, from the Bth of March, 1845, and until he should produce a certificate from three beneficed clergym en th a t h e h a d b een o f goo d behaviour in the interval, and further condemned him in the costs. The taxed costs amounted to 5811., and a monition was, decreed for their paym en t ; b u t th oug h attempts were made to serve i t , t h ey were unsuccess ful. In April, 1846, Mr. Brookes, the promoter of the suit, died, and no step was afterwards taken to enforce the payment of the costs. The term of the suspension having expired in September last, and a certificate of three clergymen being exhibited, Dr. ADDAMS, on behalf of Mr. Cresswell, prayed the Court to admit the certificate, and to decree the suspension to be relaxed. The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE, on the part of the admi nistratrix of the promoter, opposed the motion, on the ground that, the costs not having been paid, the sen tence of the Court had not been complied with. Sir H. JENNER FUST said, the first question was, whether he should receive the certificate ; and as the certificate was, in his opinion, sufficient, he was bound to receive it. The next question was, whether Mr. Cresswell had complied with the sentence of the Court so far as to entitle him to a relaxation of the suspension ? He had not paid the costs, but nothing had been done since April, 1846, to enforce their Payment. He was of opinion that Mr. Cresswell had so far compli e d w i th the sentence as t o b e entitled to a relaxation of the suspension, and to be restored to the perf ormance of his cler i ca l func ti ons . With re gard to the costs, he was still before the Court, and was not released from the obligation of paying them, though the monition taken out by the deceased pro moter could not be enforced. . The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE, on behalf of the admi mstratrix of the promoter, moved for a monition against Mr. Cresswell to show cause why the costs should not be paid, which the Court granted. KNIGHT AGAINST KNIGHT. This was a suit for a divorce by reason of adultery by Mr. William Knight against Martha Knight, his wife. After hearing Dr. TWISS, on the part of the wife, in objection to the proof of the adultery, founded mainly upon the evidence of the particeps who, he contended, was not confirmed by uther wit nesses, or credible per se ; On the motion of Dr. CURTEIS, for the husband, Sir H. J. F UST, w ith o ut entering into th e d e t a il s of the case ( w hi c h t h e L ea r ne d J u d ge sa id were perfectly disgusting), pronounced for the divorce. - . - GEILS AGAINST GEILS. This case, a suit for restitution of conjugal rights by Mr. J o h n Ed war d Geils a ga i ns t F rances , his met on her part by wife, a plea of cruelty, adultery, and another charge, w as opened merely, the pleadings and evidence being formally read. The argument will commence next court day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 2. Two Commissioners sat to-day, Messrs. Shepherd and Goulburn. The former disposed of a long list of insolvency cases, none of which possessed a feature.of interest. Before the latter there was a diVidend meeting in the matter of Alexander Rainy, who was an auctioneer and estate agent in Itegont-stree.' Nothing of interest sprang up at the. Meeting) but 1t I was understood that a dividend (the first) of 2s. 6d. in the pound will be declared in a few days. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nov. 2. (Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.) IN RH JOHN BROWN. The insolvent, formerly a publican in Oxford-street, appeared to-day for final hearing. The case had been adjourned for the correction of some matters in the schedule. On a former occasion the insolvent was opposed by a creditor, who complained that he had been " jockeyed" in a horse transaction ; but it ap pearing that the insolvent had been indicted at the Old Bailey, with other parties, for the offence, of which he had been convicted, and had undergone six months' imprisonment, The Learned COMMISSIONER said that the wrong committed against the creditor had been expiated by the punishment inflicted, and the insolvent was, there fore, now entitled to the benefit of the Act, and must be discharged forthwith. IN RE WILLIAM BLSWORTII. This insolvent was opposed by Mr. Cooke. lie had originally appeared on the 10th of August, on which day also another insolvent, named Pennick, was heard, and some striking coincidences being disco vered, induced the Court to adjourn both cases for production of the detaining creditors. Pennick shortly after obtained his discharge from the detaining cre ditor, but Elsworth still remains in custody. To-day it was proposed, on behalf of the insolvent, to put in an affidavit from his detaining creditor to prove the existence of the debt; but Mr. Coos objected that the order of the Court was for the production of the detaining creditor, which, not being done, the insolvent could not be heard without making a special application. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER concurred in this view, and ordered a further adjournment, that the insolvent should comply with the order already made, or show cause why he should be heard without producing the party required. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) Another of those scenes of disorder which have been so frequently the subject of public observation yesterday occurred in this court. In order that the matter may be better understood it is necessary to explain, that while the Common Sergeant was sitting in the Grand Jury-room, which had been formed into a third Court on Saturday, Mr. Prendergast made an application with reference to a case in which he was engaged. The jury were in de liberation at the time upon another case, and while the Court were so engaged, Mr. Under-Sheriff France called out " Silence," and upon this, Mr. Prendergast, it appeared, became very angry, and said that the Under-Sheriffs had no right to interfere, and that they were merely doorkeepers, and had no right to interrupt counsel. Mr. PRENDERGAST now applied, with reference to the same case, and complained that the trial had been postponed without the sanction or knowledge of the defendant, for whom he appeared, and who was anxious to take his trial at the present session. Mr. HIIDDLESTONE, who was instructed for the prosecution, said that notice had been given to his Learned Friend that application would be made to postpone the trial. Mr. PRENDERGAST denied that he had received any such notice : and complained, that at the time of his making the application to the Court, on Saturday, he was interrupted by the Under- Sheriff in the perform ance of his duty. The COMMON-SERGEANT said that he considered himself quite justified in postponing the trial, and the Learned Judges whom he had consulted con curred with him in that opinion. Mr. Under-Sheriff FRANCE begged to explain the course he had taken upon the occasion alluded to by the Learned Counsel. It was a very small room, and while the jury were engaged in deliberating upon their verdict, Mr. Prendergast addressed the Court, and the jury intimated that they were disturbed by the proceeding, upon which he certainly requested Mr. Prendergast to desist until the jury had delivered their verdict, and he then insulted the Under-Sheriffs by saying that they were only in the position of doorkeepers and had no business to interfere. Mr. PRENDERGAST admitted he did say so, and he repeated it. They were merely a superior kind of doorkeepers, and it was no part of their province to interfere with the proceedings of the Court. Mr. Malt here made some observation which was not distinctly audible, to which Mr. PRENDERGAST responded by a remark in which the word " vagabond" was distinctly audible, as well as sone observation about pulling a nose. Mr. WIRE told the Learned Counsel that he was protected by his position, and that he would not have dared to make such an observation out of court. The COMMON SERGEANT postponed the trial, and this stopped further altercation. John Gray, an old man, was indicted for a misde meanour in assaulting Mary Anne Lewis, with intent to commit a felony, and he was also charged with a common assault. Mr. Parry conducted the prosecution. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutrix, that her husband carried on the business of a music seller in Cheapside, and in September he was in diffi culties, and an execution was put in by the Sheriff, and the defendant was left in possession. Her hus band was absent from home endeavouring to get up the amount of the debt, and it appeared that the defendant had taken advantage of this circumstance and bad made most disgusting overtures to her, asking her to kiss him, and upon one occasion he seized her by the arm, and she was compelled to barricade herself in her bed-room to prevent him from approaching her. She communicated what had taken place to a female relation, fearing to tell her husband, on account of the position in i lwhich he was already placed by his pecuniary difficulties, and that it would increase his excitement. In the presence of that relative the pri soner 'acted with similar violence, and during one whole night he kept the two women on the watch, and frightened them so by his proceedings that they were afraid to go to bed, The prosecutrix was cross-examined by the pri soner, who endeavoured to show that she had con sented to an improper intercourse with him in the absence of her husband ; but she indignantly repelled the insinuation, and asserted that there was not the slightest foundation for it. Mr. Lewis, the husband of the complainant, said that, upon being informed of what bad occurred, he asked the prisoner for an explanation, and he at first said it was all stuff, but on being pressed he said that his wife had conducted herself in an immoral manner, and he made the statement in such offensive and dis gusting terms that the witness could not control his feelings, and knocked him down. Mr. Lewis said that he subsequently represented the prisoner's con duct to the sheriff's officer who had put him in pos session, and he immediately removed him from ,the house. Sorra° other witnesses were called, whose evidence tended to confirm the statement made by the pro- secutrix. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, de nied having committed the assault imputed to hi m , and repeated his charge against the prosecutrix. The COMMON SISRGEANT asked him if he had any witnesses to call P The prisoner said he had not. He expected to have been provided with the assistance of a counsel and attorney, but they had not attended. He added, that Harker, the usher of the court, knew him very well, and could speak to his previous character, and he wished to eall him. Harker was accordingly sworn, and he said he had known the prisoner a great many years. He for merly had an extensive business as a livery-stable keeper, and had become reduced in his circum stances, but he never heard anything against his character. The jury, after a short deliberation, found the pri soner Guilty of a common assault. The COMMON SERGEANT sentenced him to be kept to hard labour for three months. The prisoner said he was a cripple, and could not perform hard labour. The COMMON SERGEANT-Oh, very well ; then the sentence is three months' imprisonment without hard labour. William Wilson was indicted for a misdemeanour, in having committed an Indecent assault upon Frances Oxley. When the case had nearly gone to the end of the evidence, it was found that the grand jury had ignored the bill, and that it was by mistake the prisoner had been7put upon his trial. The Commosi SERGEANT, upon being informed of the fact, said that fortunately no harm had been done, and the prisoner had suffered no injustice. He then addressed the jury and informed them that the bill against the prisoner had been ignored, and, therefore, as it was by mistake that he had been put upon his trial, they could proceed no further, and the prisoner was ordered to be discharged. In the course of the session the girl Mary Doyle, who was convicted at the last session of deserting her infant, and whose case created some public at tention on account of the treatment she appeared to have experienced at the hands of the authorities of St. Pancras parish, was brought up for judgment, and sentenced to four days' imprisonment. The business of the present session concluded about six o'clock and the Court adjourned to the 23d inst.

THE IRON TUNNEL OYER THE CONWAY..--01:10 of these " wonders of the age," the tabular bridge, is so far advanced towards completion, that its erection across the wide channel of the River Conway is expected in the course of the ensuing month. The site of the bridge is on the south side of Telford's " suspension bridge," close to the wall of the Conway Castle-bridge (also by Telford). It will be precisely of the same de scription as the one to be thrown across the Menai Straits, the Conway-bridge consisting of two tubes or tunnels (one for the up, and the other for the down line of rail), each 400 feet in length, while the quantity of tubing required for the Menai-bridge is upwards of 3,000 feet. It is rectangular in form, consisting entirely of sheet iron, one inch in thickness. The inside, through which the trains are to pass, is 24 feet high and 15 wide. The outside height is much greater, being about 30 feet. The top is of two thicknesses of metal, in the corru gated shape, forming a series of circular tubes of about three feet in diameter. This form is considered to offer the greatest resistence to compression. The sides are of sheet iron of one thickness ; the bottom has a double thickness, three feet apart, con nected by intermediate longitudinal ribs, so as to give the necessary stiffness for the carriages to pass ever. The whole mass, weighing upwards of 1,000 tons, will be placed on the abutments at once. The place where it is being constructed is on a huge timber platform, in a curve of the Conway a few hundred yards from the in tended site of the bridge. The important process of testing the machine will be carried forth on the spot where it now lies. Immediately the tube is completed, with the aid of a flood tide and pontoons it will be raised so as to admit of the platform on which it is erected being carried away. The result is looked forward to with much interest. It was inspected last week by Mr. Stephenson, Mr. Ross, Captain Huish, Mr. King (the secretary of the Chester and Holyhead Company), and many of the directors of the company; oa that day the Chester and Holyhead line was opened to the extent of 40 miles.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. ALLEGED ROBBERY.—On Friday a gentleman, in going through the booking-office of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, at the head of Queen-street, took out his purse, containing a large sum of money, for the pur pose of paying his fare to Edinburgh. In the hurry of doing so, his statement is that he left the purse lying on the pay-counter in the railway-office, and pushed on for the train then about to start ; but missing his purse and its contents, he hastened back to where he imagined he left it, but no trace of the property could be found. Intimation was immediately forwarded to the central police-station, and an inquiry set on foot, but still the missing money (stated variously at from 1401. to 2001.), was nowhere to be found. The gentleman, we under stand, proceeded on his journey to Edinburgh, whence he was expected in the evening, but no word of him had reached the police-office at ten o'clock last night.— Glasgow Citizen. SUICIDE IN THE SURREY COUNTY LUNATIC AST- Lum.—Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Carter, coroner for East Surrey, at the County Lunatic Asylum, to inquire into the death of. Randall Woods, aged 27, a patient in the institution. It appeared from the evidence of Edward Rouse, an attendant, that he left the deceased on Thursday last in the day room, with upwards of 40 patients, and desired one of them, named Glover, to watch him, he being considered a suicidal patient, and one who would destroy himself if an opportunity offered. He return( d in a few minutes, and missing the deceased, went into the bathroom,: where he found him 13 ing on his side with a raeor in his hand,! and with a wide and deep gash in his throat. He expired in a few minutes. The razor belonged to No, 3 ward, and was usually kept in the private drawer of the senior attendant. The wit ness could nut account for the manner in which the de ceased obtained it. Mr. J. Holland, the resident medical officer, said the gullet am' the right carotid artery were completely div i ded by the wound. After some further evidence, the jury retired fur nearly an hour, and, on Oar return, brought in a verdict that the deceased de stroyed himself, being of unsound mind; and that they regretted that rams should have been placed in the cupboard of the room appropriated to lunatic patients. Mr. Kemble, the chairman of the visiting magistrates, assured the coroner and jury that their suggestion with respect to the place for keeping razors should be at tended to. THE WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL --MUNIFICENT BE- QuEsTs.—Yesterday the usual meeting of this charity was held in the board-room of the institution, in the Broad Sanctuary, Westminster Abbey. Tho report stated that, during the past quarter, 2,474 out-patients had been placed on the books, and 489 in-patients had been admitted. During the past year there had been 1,646 in and 10,095 out-patients, making together 11,741, and since its establishment upwards of 340,000. Four wards, capable of containing sixty beds, remain untenanted for want of sufficient annual income. During the past year the expenditure exceeded the income by 1,097/, IBs. Od. Amongst the recent legacies, was the bequest of 2,000/. Three per Cent. Consuls, under the will of the late Miss Ann Collier, and another of 5001. The Liverpool Roman Catholic Orphan House and St. Peter's Chapel Schools, in Seel-street, have each hkd a bequest of 100/, left to them, under the will of Miss Elizabeth Milner, of that town, who died lately. She was possessed of considerable property, and has left an annuity to her brother James, and also to her nieces, and the residue, real and personal, equally among her nephews and nieces. The actin.- executors are Alex. ander Walker, J. 11. Parsons, and T. Ashcroft, all of Liverpool. Besides the property administered to by them in the Court at Chester, duty has also been paid on 12,0001. personal property within the proviace of Canterbury. DESECRATION OF THE DEAD.—YA.RMOTJTH....4Ire really think it high time that attention should be directed to the state of our parish churchyard, which has for years been known to be in an overcrowded condition. The other day, in passing the western side of the yard, we observed, within a few feet of the wall, a grave which had just been dug, and, by the side of the chasm, there were lying the remnants of what once, and by the appear ance not many years since, formed the habitation of a human soul. In contemplating what may possibly be our own fate, one is almost tempted to vent upon the ruthless hand of the grave-digger the anathema, " Cursed be he who moves my bones." Surely such disgusting exhibi tions ought to be provided against, and when it happens that the displacement of bones is unavoidable, let them not be left in sight of the passing crowd, but decently removed to a proper receptacle. We hope this hint will receive the attention of the proper authorities.--Norfolk News. STorrAGB OF MINES.—The pressure felt in the money market is having an influence in a portion of the mining districts. At Beeralston, the East Tamar, Fargo hill, and Whitson mines, managed by Mr. J. Hitchens, have been stopped ; but it is said that Mr. Johnson is endeavouring to make arrangements to enable the work again to proceed. The stopping has been occasioned by the failure of some firms in London, who were extensive holders in these undertakings. In the Tavistock dis trict a number of miners have been thrown out of work by the suspension of Hingston Down Consols and Clids worthy mines. The former was likely to prove a good speculati on; b u t th e or d er to stop t h o wor k s arrived on the day that the steam-engine was to commence stamp ing for the first time.— West Briton. SEPARATION OF CONVICTS FROM PRISE LABOURERS. —We are happy in being able to state that the above im portant object, to which we have more than once called the attention of the authorities, WO at length been effected ; arrangements having been made during the past week for the separation of the convicts employed in the Dockyard from the labourers in the same establish ment, in accordance with the plan of Colonel Jebb, Sur veyor-General of Prisons. In future they will not be suffered to come in contact with the artizans and others therein employed, an evil of serious magnitude, which has too long been suffered to exist.—llanipshire Tele graph. ABOLITION OF FEES IN COUNTY COURTS.—The Gazette of last night announces that, after the expiration of one calendar month from the date of the publication of this notice, her Majesty, with the advice of her Privy Council, will take into consideration the propriety of making an order for paying the judges, clerks, bailiffs, and officers of the c ount y courts b y sa l ar i es i nstead of i fees, or n such other manner as may be deemed ex pedient.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. _ MANSION-HOUSE. John Burgess, and William Mitchell alias Captain Broadwater, were brought up for final examination upon suspicion of having been concerned in robbing a lady on the Liverpool Railroad of Bank of England notes to the amount of 150/., which notes were exchanged for American bank notes, in passing which American notes the prisoners were apprehended upon the charge of Mr. Spellman, of Lombard-street, who had been applied to by them to give cash for the latter. In answer to questions put by Mr. Hobler for the prisoners, Mr. Spellman said he believed the Ameri can notes were genuine ; he was in the habit of changing such notes. M. Thomas Redin, superintendent of police at Liverpool, said he knew Burgess well. Burgess formerly kept a public-house at Liverpool, from which place he had been lately absent. He had not been in America. Witness knew Mitchell by sight, and had seen him in Burgess' house at Liverpool. As superintendent of police, witness had received infor mation that a person had been robbed of bank-notes. He had also received information that one of the notes (for 1001.) had been exchanged in Liverpool for American notes, and he had reason to suppose that Burgess was the person who changed it. Application had been made to the magistrates of Liverpool on the subject of the robbery, and witness was in expectation of receiving a warrant from the magistrates to conduct the prisoners from London to Liverpool. Mr. Hobler cross-examined Mr. Speilman and Mr. Redin for the prisoners, but elicited nothing calcu lated to weaken their testimony in chief. He then argued, that at all events there was no evidence to prove that Mitchell knew anything at all about notes. The LORD MAYOR said there was quite enough to authorise him to give up the prisoners to the custody of the superintendent at Liverpool. If Mitchell knew nothing of the business why did he appear as Captain B road water ? The prisoners are to be taken to Liverpool by the superintendent this day. BOW-STREET. Nathaniel Coombes, a coal merchant, carrying on business under the title of " The Northern Coal Company," in Craven-street, Strand, was charged, together with his carter, John Brown, with delivering coals without having the requisite weighing machine and weights sent therewith. It was proved that the order for two tons of coals had been given to Coombes, to be sent to a Mr. Mitchell's in Arundel-street. On the arrival of the coals Miss Mitchell had reason to suspect that they were deficient in weight, and therefore requested the carter to weigh them ; but he said the weighing machine was out of order and the weights were lost. She then called the attention of the street keeper to the circumstance, but the man persisted in shooting the coals until only six sacks were left in the cart. John Phillips, the street-keeper, corroborated this evidence, and expressed his belief that there were not more than two-thirds of the quantity ordered in the cart. They carried the remaining sacks and shot them out on the bulk without weighing them. This witness deposed to a subsequent interview with Coombes, who wanted to " settle " the matter with him by paying 21., and giving the complainant his coals. Mr. Clarkson felt himself unable to screen his client from the consequences of the summons. And Mr. JARDINE, after stating that the case was a most shameful one, inflicted the full penalty of 101. on the principal, and 51. on the carter, with costs. The defendant, Coombes, was, of course, respon sible for both. MARYLEBOIVE. ROBBERY.—Ann Simmons, Robert Simmons, and Wil liam Hickman, were yesterday placed at the bar, having been remanded, on a charge of stealing goods to a large amount, the property of Mr. Marshall, her em ployer, and the other prisoners with having received the same. Mr. Ballantine appeared for Hickman, and Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution. The depositions of the witnesses who had already been examined, having been read over, Mr. Marshall was called, and in reply to Mr. Bal lantyne stated, that on the first occasion when he called at Mr. Hickman's he did not leave his name and address. On the Thursday morning he received all the information he required at Mr. Hickman's, upon giving his name and address. Thomas Jessom examined—Had been appointed a special constable on the 23d of October. Went with Mr. ;Marshall to Simmons's, and went round the house. The prisoner said, whatever Mr. Marshall claims let him have. He found property which he (Mr. Marshall) claimed. Mr. Marshall said he was in search of the hair trunk, and Mr. Simmons said he would show where it was. He then went to Miss Simmons's house. Miss Sim mons was the sister of Mr. Simmons. Mr. Sim mons went to the farm and brought out the hair trunk. This trunk contained property be longing to the prosecutor. Assisted in carrying it into the yard. Mr. Marshall then took it to Lei cester. Was sent for again on the same day, and was told by Mrs. Simmons to go to Miss Simmons's barn and fetch a chest. Mr. Marshall was present. He did as he was directed, and the chest produced was taken away by Mr. Marshall. The box weighed two hundred and three-quarters. The straw was loose about it. Simmons did not say a word about the contents of the box. Mr. Clarkson said that he might bring another member of the family of the unfortunate female into this matter,ibut as he had not received instructions to that effect he would not do so. That was all the evi dence he proposed to adduce at present. Subse quently, however, the Learned Counsel called Mary Burton, the laundress of Mr. Hickman, who stated that the female prisoner had slept at Mr. Hick man's the night before the discovery of the property. The female prisoner had access to Mr. Hickman's chambers. Mr. Ballantyne said he trusted that the magis trate would accept the same amount of bail as had been already received. His client, he was bound to admit, was still deeply attached to the unfortunate female prisoner, and he had been led into an indis cretion through that attachment, but under all cir cumstances he would leave the matter in the Magis trate's hands, merely stating there were present several witnesses as to the character of his client, who was a respectable merchant. Mr. RaouGyeToN said as there was no objection on the part of the counsel for the prosecution, he would not object to taking bail for Hickman. The further hearing of the case was then postponed till this day week, and Jessom was bound over to appear then. Yesterday Jame S s ° B7rd T , H a W y j 43 1 u R n K g . man in woman's attire, was brought before Mr. Cottingham, on the fol lowing charge : Policeman No. 45 M stated, that between three and four o'clock that morning, while on duty at Shad- Thames, his attention was arrested by observing the prisoner dressed as a woman walking with a man to wards an unfrequented spot. Having his suspicions aroused, although at the time he was ignorant of the prisoner's sex, he followed them at some distance, and saw them act in such a manner that he hastened for ward and secured the prisoner, who was lying on the ground. The man who was with him at the time, on perceiving him (the policeman) approach, immedi ately took to his heels, and made his escape down one of the streets in the neighbourhood; and the prisoner was forthwith conveyed to the station-house, where he confessed his real sex, and said that he assumed the disguise of a woman for a spree. Mr. COTTINGJIAM said that he had not words suffi ciently strong to express his disgust at the recital of the prisoner's conduct on the occasion, and that he lamented the man who was in his company was not also taken into custody. The magistrate then asked the prisoner who and what he was, and where he lived ? To which he replied that he was a waiter out of place, and lived in Bear-yard, Lincoln's Inn-fields. Mr. COTTINGHAM—For what purpose did you as sume the garb of a woman in which you now appear ? Prisoner—The fact is, I went to a fancy dress ball, and drank until I became intoxicated. Mr. COTTINGHAM—Where was the ball given ? Prisoner—l don't know the name of the place. Mr. COTTINGHABI—Do you know the man who was seen in your company, as represented by the policeman ? Prisoner—l know nothing about it, I was so drunk ; in fact, I was not aware that any man was with me at the time. In answer to further questions he said, that since he had been out of a situation he had sold artificial flowers about town, and he added that he was not a married man. The policeman was here asked if the prisoner was drunk, and his answer was that he appeared to have been drinking, but he was not so intoxicated as not to know what he was about. to Dar. placed upon the prisonersthere a s • assertionttle t dependence hat ho r. COTTINGISAM said, w at tended a fancy dress ball, but he suspected he went out in female atti re f or some horrible purpose. He should have a ssure dl y sent him for trial if his com • panion had been secured, but that not having been effected, he would adjudge the prisoner to enter into his own recognizance of 1001., and find two sureties of 50/., and to be imprisoned until those sureties were found. The magistrate directed that exertions should be used to take the other man into custody, in which case he should commit them both for trial. WESTMINSTER. Ellen Mottram and Jane Ince, two women of the town, were charged with hocussing and robbing a gentleman named Seacombe, whose health has been impaired by the drug administered.. It appeared that a short time since a private soldier of the Grenadier Guards, named Sloddy, was com mitted to prison for having been found at Agate. highway with a watch in his possession which bad been recently stolen, but at that time it was not _ known who had been implicated with him in the felony. On Saturday th e 20th ult., Lewis, a corpor al in the 2d battalion of Grenadier Guards, was stand ing near the barracks at the bottom of Castle-street,. Leicester-square, when the prisoner Mottram cm" up, and, entering into conversation witEr asked him whether he knew a man belonging to MS battalion named Sloddy, and on the corporal replyillic: in the affirmative, s he said that he (the corporal), ( 4-- course, knew that he was in prison, and added " tb he was a d— fool, and had he done as she I desired him he would not have been detect ed• She then informed the corporal that she met the gentleman near the National Gallery one night, took him to Westminster, where he gave her hall "' sovereign to procure some wine with. She got the wine, and, having drugged a portion of it with danum, gave it to the gentleman, who soon fell asl 04 ). She then took his watch from hi s pocket, and Ler " pal " (associate) took four sovereigns and tbit e half-crowns from his p oc k e t, b u t, as th a t was all -t) he had, and " they did'nt like to leave the poor "*".. without a penny," they put one of the half-crol 015 back in his pocket. The prisoner Mottram, I ;er making this communic a ti on t o ,th e corpora l, left, In P ) `" n which he very properly gave information to the pol von , and on her coming again to the barrack gate on M 4 'n. day evening she was given into custody and c 6 in , veyed to the station-ho use , w h ere , on M r . John Lu I In an inspector of the A division, telling her that she • charged with being concerned in the robbery of D he Seacombe of a gold watch and other property, s r said that she and Jane Ince met the gentleman • cle the Haymarket, and then rep ea t e d t o th e inspect v ) r portion of the same accou n t commun i c ated by t ` e ., to the corporal, very carefully, h owever , o mitting s n i notice of the laudanum administered.
