We regret to see by the Malta journals that his Royal Highness should be reduced to the necessity of calling public attention to his circumstances, in the following delicate mode : " PUBLIC NOTICE. " His Royal Highness Charles Prince of Capua hereby informs the public, that he is desirous of granting upon lease, or farming out, the revenue of the three com mandership' formerly belonging to the order of St. John of Jerusalem, mentioned in the royal decree, transcribed hereunder, in virtue whereof his Royal Highness is invested with those commanderships, situate in the most fertile parts of Sicily ; the lessee to give security by mortgage on his own property. " The annual revenue of the commanderships in question amounts to nearly ten thousand scudi, and is susceptible of a considerable augmentation. " Offers to be addressed by the post to his Royal High ness the Prince of Capua at Sliema, Malta. " Malta, June 28, 1847." " No. 757. Translation.)

IlAmntraoli, JULY 16.—The prevailing fine weather, combined with large arrivals of rye from Russia, has caused a daily depression in the prices, although the ex portation of this article to the adjacent countries con tinues without abatement. DANTZIC, JULY 12.—Throughout the whole of last week we had the most splendid weather imaginable. On Friday there was a heavy thunder-atonal, which lasted throughout the whole day. Our market continues flat, and the fall in the prices is, as might be expected, con siderable. We have received several parcels of new native wheat from the interior. ST. PETERSBURGH, JULY 9.—The corn trade was very inanimate throughout the whole week, and our exchange with foreign houses scarcely perceptible. Something was doing in rye, but only on account of private indi viduals. Our seeds are everywhere going on magnifi cently, and the prospects of our harvest continue most favourable ; under these circumstances, as well as the flat state of things abroad, we shall, probably not so soon see a change in this respect. BRAILA (TURKEY), JUNE 24.—Our sales within these last few days were confined to small parcels from Con stantinople. The more favourable winds have brought us some ships, and a fruitful rain has refreshed our fields, and we again indulge in the most favourable hopes respecting the harvest. HAMBURGH, JULY 14.—With respect to our crops we can only say that the hay has been finer than we have seen it for many years. Potatoes, beans, flax, and vege tables of all kind, were rich and fine. Our fruit trees are so laden with fruit that the apple trees especially bend beneath the weight. The vine has put forth an unusual number of buds, and although the blossom is not everywhere equal, we shall notwithstanding have even a finer vintage than last year. If God vouchsafe to continue his blessing the year 1847 will be richer in corn, fruit, hay, wine, and potatoes, than it has been for a century.— Hamburgh Mail, July 16. From the 10th to the 15th of July there entered this port 18 vessels in whole or in part with different sub stances. The importations made amounted to Wheat .. 2,544,000 kil. Rye Barley Flour 12,000 „ Thee lB,OOO „ Total 4,382,600 „ Since yesterday evening (the 17th) there have entered our port 17 vessels laden with rye, three with wheat, and one with flour and barley. There is no truth in the report that the potato disease has affected the crops in this neighbourhood. There never was a more pro mising aspect than at this moment. _ AUGSBURCH, JULY 17.—During the last eight days we have had a store of 480 sheffles of wheat warehoused, and the prices had gone down considerably, and in con sequence of the continued fineness of the weather, which go favourable to the ripening of the corn, and the prospects of the harvest, which has already com menced in several places, a yet greater fall was expected this day (July 16), contrary to all probability. This expectation was not fulfilled. It is time there was a fall in the price of every kind of grain, but it was so inconsiderable that it was scarcely worth mentioning. The medium prices are:—Wheat fl. 33 48 ; Maise fl. 34 1 ; Rye 25 13 ; Barley 23 17 ; Oats 95. It is impossible to speak of the dearth being over while such prices are maintained. This will not be the case till they have stink to about one half of their present nominal price. FROM THE MAINE, JULY 6.—lt appears desirable that the following fact should be made public:—Notwith standing the prohibitory enactments passed by the Grand Duchy an d th e El ectora l principality of Hesse against the purchasing of standing corn, very consider able purchases have been made of corn in that state, with Rye, at 10 fl. per matter; and Wheat, at 15 fl. per matter. If these transactions are suffered to go on un checked at their present rate, there is every prospect that speculators will endeavour to command even the succeeding harvest, and keep up the present high prices of grain. —Brussels papers, WOOLWICH —WEDNESDAY. The Earl of Auckland, K.C.8., First Lord of the Ad miralty; Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Adam, K.C.B. , Governor of Greenwich Hospital; Captain Fitehat dinge Berkeley, C. 8., one of the Lords of the Aduki ralty ; and Capt. Eden, Secretary to the First Lard, embarked at a quarter past nine o'clock, A.Dt., to-day at Woolwich Dockyard, in the Black Eagle steam-vessel,, for the purpose of visiting the Pallas Russian frigate, w has arrived at the Nore with another Russian frigate, a ,cor vette, and war-steamer, to convey the Grand Duke Cen stantine :to Russia, on his return to that empire. Com modore Sir Gordon Bremer, G.C.B. and K.C.H., :super intendent of Woolwich Dockyard, and one of tip: Rus sian naval officers accompanied their Lordships to the Nore. Their Lordships returned in the Wack E..,gle in the afternoon, and landed at Woolwich Dock:, and at half-past two o'clock, and immediately left for t own, as it was their intention to be present at the Mi nisterial whitebait dinner to take place this evening at Gr eenwich. The Dragon steam-frigate left Greenhitho v ery early on Tuesday morning, for the purpose of pro( seeding to Portsmouth to join the squadron under Rerkr-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, but was obliged to p at back to Gravesend in consequence of some part of het • machinery getting out of order when near the Nore, and she is expected to come to Woolwich to be put in repair. The Garland steam-vessel, Captain Smi thett, came down the river yesterday from Deptford, and imme diately after left Woolwich fer Dover, to resume her duties at that station. The Wildfire steam-vessel passed up the river yester day morning from Sheerness. fhe Atholl troop ship, with the companies oi artillery for Ceylon, and artillery, cavalry, and line detachments for the Cape of Good Hope, was towed down. the river yesterday by the African steam-vessel. The Tartarus steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander Dunlap, left Greenhithe this morning, for Portsmouth and Cork. The Vixen steam sloop, Commander Ryder, left Woolwich on Tuesday afternoon for Greenly ithe, to have her compasses adjusted, previous to procee►iing to Ports mouth, to join the squadron. The Oberon was to have been tried down the river to-day, but the trial was postponed in cons equence of the illness of Mr. Rennie, and also of the chief manager of the firm of Messrs. Rennie and Co. • Mr. Blaxland has been appointed foreman of the fac tory at Woolwich Dockyard, vice Hughes. PIRATES OF THE SULA GROUP. —The non. Com pany's steamers, Nemesis and Hooghly, returned on Tuesday evening from their cruise, having been unsuc cessful in meeting with the Illanun pirates, who have lately committed such serious outrages at Sin gin and the neighbouring islands. These pirates, as a.e stated a few weeks ago, are generally kept well i aformed by their spies, and have many secret hidin; ;-places where they can conceal themselves, when waiting for prey or shunning superior force. The mt ingrove, which covers such large tracts of ground n ear the sea in many places, furnishes them with the• means of concealment in abundance. Although it wDu ld no doubt have been most desirable to have fallen in with these pirates, yet their escape only shows the gr eater necessity which there exists for effectual measures being t tt a h k e e irr n to put a final end to their operations, by prth 'ced ing to their head-quarters at once. %Vero a cruiser to be immediately stationed in tha Sula sea, she n light pnreoibablyuc EARTHQUAKEeeed i A n T fa H lli a n v g ß in with these very pirat's on identifying returnnumerous t from he rn ._ captivestsh i e n i y r a e wp x oo p ru e el expedition, ! fr i oe o re n o , sr a he n s a d s pees : t me h a e adyy Gm 9 , t a t ti c • o of f icinasetk.,eawliatttlesebnesfiobprle eleven fe _ t. at night, E—O t a l. 1 Havre, persona ll(3 -w c e o r m e much shaken ya accompanied by the immediate neighbou•;hood nth S e s a h tu oc r k dy ea t o h7 ri l tt O h tt low.in theirrumbling beds n i o n i s l e n . ° S oy a i v i e ce and Graville; two adjacent viages.

MESSAGE FiWM THE COMMONS. A messenger from the Commons brought up several Bills. SUTTON HARBOUR BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. Their. Lordships then adjourned during pleasure. Their Lordships resumed at Five o'clock. CRIMINAL CODE. Lord BROUGHAM drew the attention of the House to the necessity of having a digest of the criminal code. A complete revision would be a work most invaluable ; it was at present in a very imperfect state. If steps were now taken for such a purpose, it could be done before the next session of Parliament. The subject then dropped. CONVEYANCE OF LANDED PROPERTY. Lord BROUGHAM moved that the evidence taken before the Committee appointed to inquire into the con veyance of landed property be printed. IRISH RATES. Lord STANLEY presented a petition from a board of guardians in Tipperary, complaining of the difficulty of collecting the rates which had been struck. EDUCATION. Lord S PAN LEY drew the attention of the House to the late minute of the Council on the subject of educa tion, and desired to know to what schools assistance would be afforded, where religious education was ex cluded. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, who was very in audible in the gallery, was understood to say that no assistance would be afforded to any school where reli gious education was excluded. The Bishop of LONDON said that he thought that he was speaking the sentiments of the Church when he said that they were still willing to accept the Minutes of the Council respecting education as they were originally set forth, but he warned the Government not to be making alterations in them to suit the conve nience of the religious prejudices of the different sects; by doing so, they would produce a very different feeling n the country from that of harmony and peace. Lord 13EAUSIONT said that the more he read and the more he heard upon this subject, the more he was impressed with the enormous difficulties by which they were surrounded. Did the Right Rev. Prelate wish the assistance afforded to schools to be confined to such only as taught the religion which he himself pro fessed?—(Cries of " No, no," from the Bishop of London.) Well, then, what did he want, if he did not want that ? He hoped the Government would return to their former liberal principles, and set at nought the outcry which had been raised against them. He felt the sect to which he (Lord Beaumont) belonged had been hardly treated, but still he could not stand by without bearing his testmony to the Go vernment upon this question. After a few words from the Bishop of LONDON in explanation, The Earl of MINTO said that the question re solved itself simpl y i n t o the following—whether they would or w.)uld not exclude from their assistance a very large proportion of the most religious portion of the community. He should also observe that there was a large number of persons in Scotland who would have a conscientious scruple in com plying with the c on di t i ons o f th e m i nu t e . Lord BROUGHAM said that he did not understand the conscientious scruple of the Scotch people. They asked with their eyes open, and applied for assistance yet they refused to comply with the conditions. Now, this he considered, instead of being conscientious, was rather quite the other way. They should not take the money at all if they did not intend to use it in the manner condition* d. Lord STANLEY said he must express his hope that those minutes would not be considered to be finally arranged, but that they would undergo some more con sideration and revision, for a great infraction had been made upon th e principle upon which Parliament first made a grant for the purposes of education. He depre cated these continued changes, which placed a great power in the hands of the Minister, which was never intended by the country. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that they were in the habit of taking notice in their legislation of con scientious scruples, in matters of oath, and in matters of allegiance, and other things, and he was not prepared to refuse the blessings of education to parties who were not able to conscientiously agree with them. Lord STANLEY said that the minrite to which he alluded was not the former one upon which discussion had taken place in the Lower House. The present was dated the 10th of the present month. After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM, in which he again insisted that no party had a right to take money without being prepared to receive Ps; upon the conditions with which it was accompanied, The Bishop of LONDON explained. Earl GREY considered that it was a disgrace to the country that so large a proportion of their children were unable to read or write. Ll'4 was in favour of any plan of education; and he was prepared to extend it to every class, no matter what were 'their religious tenets. After a few words from Lord NELSON, the sub ject then dropped. POOR-LAW .11.DMINI ST RATION BILL. The Marquis of I. Jt:hTSDO WN E rose to move that their Lordships wou'ul agree with the Commons' Amend ments to this Bill. He did not think the clause which their Lordships lead adder: to the Bill, and which had been rejected by the Commons, was by any means ne cessary. Lori! STRA _DBROKE opposed the motion, and in sisted on the r Amendment. Earl URE•I said that the Noble Lord attached much greater imp artance to the clause than it deserved ; if they reject( d the clause, they would reject the Bill, and it would at cordingly be lost, for it was too late in the present se ,sion to restore it, and the question would be agitated :st the next general election, and gentlemen would cc snie pledged from the hustings to vote against such a %measure. He had a strong opinion that these pledges were quite at variance with the spirit of the con stitutic .11. lie put it, then, to their Lordships, as friends of the Reform effected in 1834, to adopt this Bill. The Earl of RAI)NOR said that the consequence of the cl ause would be to subvert the order in the work house .s, and introduce indecencies and immoralities there ; in hot it would make the workhouses a place for the encouragement of pauper intercourse between the sexes. The; Duke of CLEVELAND supported the Bill, and expatiated upon the inhumanity of separating old couples who laad lived together all their lives, until they were unfortunate enough to enter a workhouse. Ererl FORTESCUE opposed the motion, and consi• dere d that it would be better to lose the Bill than have the 4 ;lause inserted. Lord REDESDALE also opposed the motion, and of ,served that order could not be preserved in the house if it was inserted ; for by the clause as it at present s tood, if the parties lived together in order only to quarrel, it was not in the power of the guardians to separate them ; it was only introduced for electioneering purposes. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE reminded the House that it was a concession to the Lower House which it was only constitutional for them to make ; he did not think it wise for them upon a trivial question to oppose the wishes of the Commons. Lord REDESDALE explained. Lord STRADBROKE said that he would press his motion to a division. The House then divided— For the clause Against it Majority —lB BISHOPRIC OF MANCHESTER. The Commons amendments to the Bishopric of Man chester Bill were then considered, and agreed to. PASSINGIIAM'S ESTATE. The Commons' amendments to this B .— ill were eon. sidered and agreed to. The following Bills were then read a third time : Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) Bill. Commons Inelosure Bill. New Zealand Bill (No. 2). The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. July 22. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) PORTUGAL. In reply to Sir DE LACY EVANS, Lord PALMERSTON stated that he believed all the prisoners in Fort St. Julian had been released. Some delay had been occasioned by the loss of time in bringing affairs at Oporto to a conclusion. He understood that the quarantine laws would not be suspended longer than the present month. The decrees taking away the liberty of the press would be shortly revoked. With regard to the formation of a new Ministry, he was not in & condition to state anything positive, but the matter had been under consideration. He might state, however, that there was an earnest disposition on the part of the Queen of Por tugal to fulfil all the engagements into which she had entered with this country, and her Majesty would take carp that they were observed. The business set down on the paper was here brought to a close, but the House had to wait nearly an hour before the Usher of the Black Rod summoned the House to hear the Royal Assent given to several Bills, a list of which will be found in our report of the House of Lords. The delay was occasioned, we understood, by the non-arrival of the Royal Commissioners from Osborne House. R T y h a l e A S s P s e n n A t K h F. a u d having v r e e n t ü b r y n ed co , tn a m n i n s s o i u o n n c t e ( d ) n that r o t h u e s public and private Bills (for which see Lords' report). The House then adjourned at Half-past Three till One o'clock to-morrow. THE LATE ATTEMPT TO MURDER.--The poor man, Michael M'Dearmed, who has been in a dangerous state from the late murderous attack on him, having been consider e d worse on S un day last, it was deemed expedient th at an examinat i on o f him should take place at the ho s pi ta l, i n t h e presence of the prisoner, ltobert %V e n ial:a ; and in the course o f t he da y his depositi on was taken before F. G. Probart, Esq., M.D. Il e was unable to utter mor e than a simple " yes" or " no, " and the follow i ng was the examination: " Were y ou l ast Wednesday wee k, a t night, violently assaulted a n d ro bb ed ?"—" Yes." "Do you know who assaulted y0u?"..._ ,, y es ." "Is that person present?" —" Yes" (pointing to the prisoner). It was not con sidered expedient to examine him further, and he put his mark to the deposition, and the prisoner was con veyed back to the gaol. We understand that M'Dearmed has been worse these two last days, and that his condi don is very precarious. Indeed, the chances are very great against his recovery.—Bury and Norwich Post. The railways from Hanover to Minden, and from Minden to liaman, will be opened for traffic by the 15th Ektober next at the latest. Though of no great extent, these lines are of considerable importance, from entirely completing the; line of railway which unites 019 east g i nd the west of Germany. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCISE, Aly 22. (Before 11. F. STEPHENSON, E‘q., C. J. HERRIES, Esq., and CHARLES Hoss,•Esq.) Joseph Murray alias John Smith, keeper of the wine and supper-rooms, familiarly known as ‘• Mother It's," oppo,ite Drury-lane Theatre, was charged with retailing foreign wines without license. This ease, as in many others, arose out of the supposed protection that a name of a free vintner would bPstuw, of enabling any persen borrowing the same to retail wines without license. The court was again much crowded, especially with accommo dation " free vintners," who appeared greatly interested in the proceedings. Dr. Bateman appeared on behalf of the Crown ; Mr. Humphreys for the defence. Mr. John Austin, Supervisor of Excise, was the first witness examined. He stated, that on the 15th of May last, he went to the house of the defendant, No. 13, Brydges-street, Covent-garden, which is used as a wine and supper rooms. There is a large room or saloon up stairs, which is opened at a late hour in the evening. It is known as '• H.'s Saloon." Mr. Sillifant went with him, but entered the house first, and remained there for a quarter of an hour. When he came out, witness entered the house, and seeing a lady and gentleman at a bar, he asked to see by what authority they sold wines there without licens.. The gentleman said they had not got the autho rity. Witness then inquired for Mr. Smith, who was not to be seen. The name of " Joseph Emanuel Castellino, Free Vintner," was over the door. A few days after wards he went again to the house, uccompanied by Mr. Sillifant, and upon the door being opened by a girl, he inquired for Mr. Castellino, and was informed that he was not there; and upon further inquiries as to Mr. Smith, she replied that she did not know such a person. A female then said that a Mr. and Mrs. Murray attended there every night. After several visits they succeeded in seeing Mr. Castellino, who was with Mr. Murray Castellino remarked. " All the wines sold here are mine. and the premises are mine." Witness inquired if he had any other premises for the sale of wine, and he replied in the negative. Murray has no entry for wines, either in the name of Smith or Murray. Had seen the name of Castellino at a house in Bridge-street, Westminster, but since these proceedings have been instituted be has withdrawn his entry from it. Mr. Sillithnt stated that he went with the last witness to the house, 13, Brydges-street, and having gone to a room up stairs, he ordered a glass of sherry, which was brought. On leaving he went to a bar to pay for the wine, when a shilling was demanded, upon which he remarked that it was a very high charge for one glass of wine. The man at the bar said it would have been the same amount if he had had two glasses; upon which he ordered another glass, which he gave to a female who was sitting near to him. Mr. D. Coghill, the poor-rate collector of the parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, deposed that Mr. Murray was the rated occupier of the whole house, 13, Brydges street, and had been so for some years. Had frequently received the rates from him. Had never seen Mr. Cas tellino till yesterday, when he was introduced to him. Never heard of him before. Mr•. Humphreys cross•examined the witnesses, but nothing material was elicited. Mr.llumminEirs then addressed the Court for the de fendant, and contended that the case had not been proved against the defendant, as there was no evidence to show that he had sold the wine, or, in the words of the information, " that you (naming the defendant) did then and there" commit a certain offence. Mr. Commissioner STEPHENSON—It is proved that the wine was purchased in the house of Mr. Murray, and it is also proved that he is the rated occupier. Mr. HUMPHREYS contended that the premises were not Mr. Murray's, and that Mr. Castellino was the real bona fide occupier. A long discussion ensued, in which various points were urged and combatted by the solicitor on behalf of the Crown. The COURT eventually gave judgment against the defendant for the full penalty, with liberty to petition the Board, and it was the opinion of mot persons in court that the decision in the case was nut a unanimous one. Two other cases of a similar description were with drawn. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIR CUI T.—York, July 21. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) There being two other indictments in the Mirfield murder case, Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN asked Mr. Bliss what course he intended to pursue ? Mr. Buss replied, that in a case of such importance be wished for time to consider, and it might be proper to consult some high authority —say, the Secretary of State. His LORDSHIP assented to this view. James Bradley, aged 23, and George Bradley, aged 26, brothers, were indicted for the wilful murder of John Riley, at Sheffield, on the 12th of January last. Mr. Sergeant W ILKINS (Mr. Pickering and Mr. Pearce with him) stated the case to the, jury for , the prosecution. He said John= Riley was a tobacconist, carrying on business at Sheffield, and living at a place called Broom Lees, about a mile from Sheffield, on th,- Grimthorpe road. He was about forty years of age. 11e left his shop in Sheffield about half-past nine o'clock, and with a friend, went to the Cattle-market Inn. He left there to go home about twelve o'clock, and when he got to a place called Bailey's-gate he was attacked and robbed, and so injured, that, although he was able t ,, get home by about two o'clock, on the 16th of January he died. Eliza Tune, landlady of the inn, examined—Mr. Riley and several others were there on the II th January. Ht left there a little after 12 o'clock, quite able to know what he was doing. He had three sixpenny glasses of brandy and water. He walked perfectly well, and was quite capable of walking home.. Mary Riley, widow of the deceased, examined—Sh, went to the shop at Sheffield. His watch was then in its place. Her husband came home at - twenty minutes to two o'clock the following morning. She alone was sitting up for him. He rang the bell, and she let him in. His face and hands were covered with blood. lie had no hat on, or stick which he ususually carried. Ht walked into the kitchen and sat down on a chair. 11 had a large bruise on his forehead. His right ham pocket was turned out, and one brace broken. At nine o'clock the following morning she sent for a surgeon. Her husband died on the following Saturday. His health was generally good. In the left-hand pocket there were 15s. The watch produced was his. He generally wore it in his waistcoat pocket. without swivel or guard. He had it not when he got home that morning, George Bowling, cdgetool- maker, examined—On the Thursday following the murder, James came to the Coach and Horses, where witness lodged. Witness was asleep and James woke him, and asked him if he could sell him a watch? He produced it—it bad no glass or swivel to it. The one now produced was like it. Wit ness asked him what he had done with them? He re plied he had broken the glass, and broken or thrown the swivel away. Witness said he would go and see if he could sell it to a person called Sayles. They then went to where Sayles worked. Sayles gave him 175., and witness gave him the watch. He then went and called the prisoner James out, and gave him 15s. and kept 2s. Sayles went away but returned in half an hour. James said they were not to say anything about the watch, it had come from Master Riley, the tobacconist, in Wain gate. He had robbed him of his watch and 30s. He had heard that he had missed 3/. and the shop-door key. He said he was alone ; he had stood at the top of a lane by the tea-garden cottages, waiting for Riley, and had knocked him down the first blow. Witness promised he would not tell. On Sunday night, the 24th of January, witness saw James again at the Coach and Horses. They sat together, and James said he had heard Master Riley was dead, adding, "it is a bad job for me." He then said it was not he who struck the blow, but he would not tell who it was—he would stick staunch if he got hanged for it. He again told witness to say nothing about it, and he promised ho would not. He said the police had bee❑ to Green's on Saturday. Witness told him that Sayles had said he had taken the watch back and put it by Mr. Riley's garden-wall. He said that was a good job. Cross-examined—He first told this on the 3d of April. There had then been 1001, reward offered. The reason he did not tell before was, he had had such threats. The reason he told then was, he could not keep it on his mind any longer. He had himself been brought before the justices three times for felony. He had been con victed once for one felony only. He had been taken up for highway robbery, but he got off. He was dis charged. _ _ . Re-examined—The conviction was for stealing a pair of trousers. The third case was this transaction, for selling the watch. George Sayles, cutler, corroborated the last witness. T. Raynor, chief policeman, proved the statement made before the justices. Cross-examined—The prisoner James had been set at liberty after being arrested on this charge. Statement of James, read in substance as follows: Challoner and I went home together on Monday night. We met the watchman about half-past twelve o'clock. I had been at home half an hour when my brother (George) came in, and put the watch into my hand saying that he had found it by the side of Mr. Riley as ho was lying on the road. He showed me some money, also 10s. or 12s. Ho gave me the watch to sell for 15s. I was to have what I could get more. What Bowling and Sayles had said that I had said about striking the first blow was false. I neither knocked him down nor robbed him. I never stated that I did. I could not say so, for I was not on the road when Mr. Riley was robbed. Statement of George, read in substance as follows: I found the watch, and I Is. 4d. in silver, on the road, the silver squandered about. I did not know the man, but it was Mr. Riley, I suppose, He was very drunk, and I tria to help him up. He was lying with his head against the wall, as if he had fallen. I told him I had found a watch and some money, and he said, "D—n you, go, I can do without you." I saw a man coming down past him before I got the money, who, in passing me, said to me, " There's a man drunk yonder." I don't know who the man was, he was running. I then went home, gave my brother the watch, and told him I had found it by the side of a man. Mr. Riley was covered with blood, lying between Bailey's-gate and the Tea gardens Cottage. I never mentioned the watch to my brother after giving it to him. I never asked any body about it, but I heard it had been found in Mr. Riley's garden. Mr. Riley said he had fallen three tildes. For the defence it was attempted to be shown-that Riley had received the injuries of which he died from a fall. At twenty-five minutes to six o'clock the jury retired to consider their verdict, and at a quarter past six re turned and pronounced the prisoners Not Guilty. Mr. E. V. Sidebotton3 and Dr. B. Hawkins had also an interview yesterday with the Bight lion. Baronet. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. CILtRGE OF FORGERY.-IVilliarn H. G. Baugh, was brought. up for final exsrnination upon the charge of having forged a draft upon Coutt's bank for 2221. 153. 6 , 1.. in the name of John Skley Caley, of Breok-street, Brentwood. Messrs. Bush and Muller, solicitors to the committee of bankers for protection against forgeries and fraud, attended for the prosecution. The date of the draft was 7,11 April, 1847. The following was the additional evidence in the case: Mr. Charles Carne Lewis said-I am an attorney of Brentwood, and am Coroner for the county of Essex. Ile prisoner was in my service as a clerk until the day of his apprehension. He entered my service in the month of June, 1846, at a salary of 1001. a year. In April last I was engaged for the parish of South Weald in an ap peal with the Eastern Counties Railroad against the as signment of the poor-rates of the parish, and a question arose whether certain occupants of the parish were not rated too low. in consequence of which I applied to several occupants to let me have their receipts for rent, amongst others to Mr. Caley. I received from Mr. Caley a letter containing two receipts. I have made strict search for these documents and cannot find them. I am not positively certain of the contents of the re ceipts. The prisoner had access to those documents, and was partially engaged in the appeal. On the 13th of April the prisoner left me at Thetford to go to Somerset House to pass some accounts. The memorandum in the pocket-book produced is in the prisoner's hand writing. I produce his disbursement book, in which is an entry on the 13th of April of one shilling, charged as his omnibus fare to and from London. On the 29th of April the prisoner applied to me for leave of absence, which I gave him for a few days. The entry in the pocket-book of the 30th of April is in his handwriting. I don't recollect seeing him again until the 13th of May, but I believe he was at my office on the 12th. He staid away longer than the extent of my permission. He said it was on account of illness, and I understood he had been to Chester. (Here several entries were pointed out to the witness, one of which was " 29th May, admitted, at Lin. Inn, paid 31/. 13s. fees," and he stated his belief that they were all in the handwriting of the prisoner. In his cross-examination, the witness said all the clerks in his office had access to the receipts. The pri soner resided at Miss Carey's, Bromwell-cottage, Brent wood. Mr. E. P. Frodsham, clerk in the North and South Wales Bank its Liverpool, said-On the 10th May last a person applied to me at the bank for a credit in Birming ham for 1521. in favour of Ernest Hawkins, Esq. The person so applying handed to me the produced ticket ready filled up, and said he could not have a credit in Birmingham as we had no agent there, but he could have a credit in London; that an order in London would answer his purpose just as well, as it could be cashed at Birmingham. He said it would do. He then gave me Bank of England notes amounting to 155/., and deducted the 1521. and 7s. Bd. for commission, and gave to the party 21. 12s 4d. as the balance of the 1551. and altered the ticket, by strikng out " Birmingham and inserting London," and inserting the words " On de mand" at the top of the ticket of those given him. He produced a draft on the London and Westminster Bank, for the 152/. The bank notes which Iso received, I de livered, together with the ticket, to Mr. R. Jones, another clerk in the bank at Liverpool. The bank notes received by the last witness for the 1521. draft on the London and Westminster Bank, now proved to be one of those which had been indirectly received in payment of the forgery, and were traced through several hands, so that it was quite evident that the perpetrator calculated upon escape, from the con fusion likely to arise from his ingenuity. Mr. George Doudney said I am assistant to my father in his business as a tailor, carried on at 49, Lombard street. The prisoner has been a customer of ours for about twelve months. On the 14th of June last, I re ceived a 50/. note from Mr. Baugh, our foreman, in the prisoner's presence. I took it to Messrs. Barclay and Co. for change, and received ten 51. notes, and gave Mr. Baugh nine of them, and the difference, between 31. 195., and the other Si. note he gave to the prisoner. William Pearce, a person in the service of Mr. Doudney, recollected that the prisoner called on the 13th of Aprit to pay his bill, observed that the prisoner had a great deal more money in gold and bank notes. He noticed the circumstance particularly, in consequence of repeated applications having been made for the amount of the bill, and an order having been refused to be exe cuted because the money was not paid. Mr. W. Base said, I am a clerk to Messrs. Bush ane Mullens, of No. 7, St. Markel's-court, Poultry, solicitors. In consequence of information which I received on thf 12th of July, I went to Messrs. Doudney's, and saw the prisoner in a cab at the door. I got into the cab, and said,• I believe you are Mr. Baugh; it will be in your re collection that you paid to Mr. Doudney a 501. note. After some hesitation he said, " Yes; I received two 501 notes from a salesman." I said it is important that we should know from whom you received the notes ; they are indirectly the produce of a forgery. I observed considerable hesitation abow him, and said, perhaps you would prefer giving your explanation to Mr. Bush. He asked who Mr. Bush was ? I said he is the solicitor to the Bankers' Associa tion. He then consented to go. I left the cab, and John Forrester got in, and they drove away together. Shortly afterwards I saw the prisoner at No. 7, St. Mil dred's-court. Mr. Bush, Mr. Dcudney, John Forrester the prisoner, and myself, were present altogether. After Some preliminary observations respecting the forgery. Mr. Bush cautioned the prisoner that what he might say might be given in evidence against him ; and then Mr. Bush said it was his duty to call upon him to ac count for the possession of that 501. note. The prisoner hesitated very much, and afterwards said, " I sent ►ome horses to Smithfield, and received 1001. fur them. I think he said he sent them from Brentwood. Mr. Bush said he was bound to ask him the name of the party who had given him the notes ? The prisoner returned no answer, and was given into the custody of Forrester. I afterwards went to Brentwood to the house of a Miss Casey, called Bromwell cottage ; and in a sitting room there found a number of papers. Amongst which was the bill produced, of Mr. William Douduey, for 31. 19i Mr. D.)udney's bill and receipt for 11/. 175., and a re ceipt, signed by the Steward of Lincoln's Inn, for 31/ 13s. 101., and the produced pocket book. John Forester said-I was present at the interview which the witness, Mr. Base, has described, and he has 'les .ribAl it correctly. I searched the prisoner, and • iund upon him a 20/. Bank of England note, dated 9t', January, 1847, No. 76,588 ; a 101. note, No. 56,889, dated 10th May, 1847 ; an a 10/. note, No. 46,106. 101 March, 1847 ; and a receipt for 271. for a horse ; the form of a prommissory note for 300/., payable to Miss Burdett Coutts ; a six-shilling bill stamp, and a duplicate for a gold pin. The prisoner, who, it was stated, had been prosecuting legal studies with the intention of being called to the bar, was then fully committed for trial for the forgery. No attempt was made to prove that he had had any dealings in horses at Smithfield. GUILDHALL. The Justice room was crowded with members of build ing societies, to hear the examination of Bari! Henry Strongsberg, the manager of the Fifty Pound Building Club, in Victoria-street, and the Times Building So ciety, held at the Guildhall Coffee-house. The prisoner was on this occasion defended by two solicitors, Mr. Lewis and a clerk from Mr. Humphrey's office. Mr. Digby said, he appeared to prosecute on behalf of three societies. He had laid the evidence already be fore the magistrate in two cases. In one of them he (defendant) was entrusted by the treasurer to pay a sum of money into the banker's next day ; he did not, and took his passage to America. He was taken from the steam-boat. In the other case he had shown that a member paid 71. 10s. to him as an officer of the Society, which he had not accounted for, but had absconded. There were other similar cases. He understood 'here might be much difficulty in procuring a conviction„"and that a prosecution might lead to much litigatioricand expense, which the building societies did not feel `is posed to incur. Without, therefore, withdravving - or pressing the charge, he begged to leave the matter wholly in the hands of the magistrate. A gentleman who appeared for the Guarantee Sogiety, begged it to be understood that he had not favoured the withdrawal of the charge. The society desired that,who ever was guilty of dishonesty should be duly punished. Mr. Alderman IlucuEs desired the evidence preitiously )1( `, be - td. taken to be reau. The evidence applying to the payment of 71..16. was read. Mr. Humphrey's clerk contended that thertOvas not the least ground here for any prosecution. was not authorised to receive the money ; and if he 144 been the period for accounting had not come round` ivhich was the monthly meeting night, and he was not chargeable with not accounting. Mr. Alderman HUGHES remarked that jet he had suc ceeded in getting off to America, he cod not have re turned in time to account. The intention not to account was plain enough. Mr. Humphrey's clerk suggested Otero must be proof of not accounting at the proper tinae. He might have left the money for the society with a4riend.—(A laugh.) The ALDERMAN said he felt that, there was no ground for this bold assertion, that the Fisoner had committed no offence. It was proved to latm that the society was enrolled under the Benefit Siitileties Act, and by that Act any officer having in his , or her possession any sum of money belonging to suck: society, and fraudulently withholding the same, may* ordered to pay double the sum so fraudulently withheld, or be committed to hard labour for three months,— Mr. Lewis submitte4 there was clearly no offence in the matter. His clieltilad duly entered in the societ3's books every farthing, and that was accounting, though he did not hand over: the money. He cited a case where the judges held .that a party was not indictable for embezzlement in ouch a state of circumstances. Mr. Aldermalf - HuoirEs HuGHEs had no doubt that any servant who accounted in writing, but kept the money, was .indictable in some form. Somebody was injured in the present case, either the member who had to pay his subscription over again, or the society, who were defrrided of the money. Mr. liiimphrey's clerk—The prisoner's conduct might be molly wrong. and yet not legally criminal. MNAlderman HUGHES HUGHES said he considered theie societies had a beneficial operation. The working classes ought to be encouraged in purchasing houses when opportunities offered, paying for them, by means of these societies, by instalments spread over a number of years, and they should have all the protection he could give them. But he believed the law had been ren dered doubtful by the conflicting opinions of counsel, delivered on cases prepared by the building societies on another point, but which incidentally affected such mat ters as the present. He inquired the amount of the prisoner's deficiencies. Mr. Dighy said he believed they would reach 100/. Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES, after some desul tory conversation, remanded the prisoner for a week, to see whether the money would be forthcoming at the prover time, and whether any other evic'en3e could be adduced. The 'prisoner was then remanded. so all By the 4th section 0 1 the Building Societies Act , A the provisions" of the two Benefit Societies Acts. ‘- far as the same, or any part thereof, may be applies!? ee l i t) the purpose of any Building Society, and to b framing, certifying, enrolling, and altei tug the ru thereof, shall extend and apply to such benefit building society and the rules thereof."
