POLICE INTELLIGENCE LIVERPOOL.-SATURDAY BEFORE MR STITT THE WOMAN AND THE GOAT.—A young woman, named Mary Farrell, was charged by officer 4, who said, at a quarter past one in the morning, he saw her in White chapel, with a goat in her possession, and thinking she stole the animal, he took her up. Mr. Wybergh : Where is the goat now ? Officer: In Vauxhall livery stable. The prisoner said, she was out in the country working, and on her return she met a man at St. James's Church, who had a bit of a kid in his arms. " Will you buy this kid ?" says he. " What's the price ?" says I, and he replied, " three bob." I gave him 2s 6d, and bought it in thinking I'd make a trifle of it, but instead of that the policeman took up myself and the kid. (A laugh.) The prisoner was discharged. THE COTTON ROBBERY.—Thomas Jones, henry Gibb, John Holborn and his wife Mary, and James Westhead, were brought up on remand, charged with being con cerned in the robbery of five bales of cotton, the property of Bles.ig, Braun and Co., value about £6O. Mr. Bluck defended the prisoners, and his line of defence was, that the cotton had been sold to Westhead, and he sold it to the other prisoners. The details of this case were published twice last week. Mr. Bluck made an able speech for the prisoners, but they were sent for trial. BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD A COWARDLY RUFFIAN.—A fellow, who gave his name as Thomas Barney, was charged with assaulting a foreigner named Aaron Offenback, and breaking one of his pictures. It appeared that about half-past two o'clock on the previous afternoon, the prisoner, with a number of other lads, was standing at the corner of Springfield-street, and when the complainant eras pass ing, they broke his picture, and then attacked and assaulted him. They prisoner stated that the complain. ant attacked him first, and made his nose bleed. Mr. Mansfield said he did not believe a word the fellow stated—he thought he was one of those cowardly ruffians who waylaid porr low foreigners for the purpose of robbing them. He committed him for two months. MISTAKEN KINDNESS.— A fellow, named Finley, was charged with breaking his wife's arm and otherwise assaulting her. The wife stated that at the time of the occurrence she would admit that she had bad a sup of drink, and that she had pawned the blankets off the bed, and spent a portion of the money. When she went home her husband caught hold of her to get the money, and threw her down and broke her arm. Evidence was given to the effect that, in the scuffle for the money, she fell. The prisoner was dismissed. ASSAULTING A FEMALE.—Mr. Edward Phillips, a flag maker, of Strand-street, was charged with assaulting Mrs. Agnes Whittle, of Strand street. The complainant stated that on the previous evening she went to tell her husband that tea was ready, when the defendant accosted her, and said, " Come, Kate.?' She told him he was mistaken in the person, and that she was not one of his sort, when he took his stick and struck her a violent blow on the forehead. The surgeon for the Northern Hospital stated that the wound in itself was not danger ous, but as the female was in the family way he did not know what the result might be. The case was adjourned for a week, and the defendant was admitted out on bail. AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND By the Fermosa, which reached Ceylon in time for the Overland mail, we have received advices from Melbourne to the 29th of July, a fortnight later than that brought by the Champion of the Seas. The general and political intelligence is of little moment. The period for holding the general elections, under the new constitution bill, are approaching, and most parties were engrossed therewith. The struggle for legislative honours has com menced ; but as no indication has yet been made public, as to the time when the general election will take place, the field is only partially occupied with candidates. Notwithstanding a winter of most unusual severity, in which the lowlands have been absolutely deluged with water, and the uplands visited with frost, snow, and hail, the plough was steadily advancing, and agricultural shows and societies are supported with great spirit. The result of three days' sale of government lands at Melbourne last week shows a decided upward tendency in the value of land. The subject of steam postal communication remains in state quo; the leading merchants and others interested appearing to rely on the efforts making by Mr. Wentworth and others at home, to push forward the subject:. Indeed, letters have reached here, stating positively that post•ofce steam-packets were to be immediately placed on the line for Australia. The increase of population by arrivals from the neighbouring colonies is still going on. The arrival, from Europe have also been much larger than of late. The Melbourne Chamber of Commerce is still occupied with the subject of promoting immigra• tion and internal communication. They have offered a prizezf fifty guineas for the best essay on the latter subject, and have suggested plans for promoting the former, one of which has been partially adopted by the executive, and is described below T h e Melboure Royal Exchange is rapidly approach ing to completion, and although not so large as the edifice originally proposed. will be an ornament to the city, and a credit to the mercantile body here. Our advices from New Zealand extend to the• 14th of July. The price of wages in New Zealand is very high, the average being —carpenters and artisans, from 12s. to 14s per diem ; and labourers Bs. to 10s. per diem. Cowry gum is the chief article of exportation, and is 121 per ton. The prices of crops have fallen, on account of a large supply from Melbourne, in the neighbourhood of which the crops have been most fruitful. The disturbance between the two native tribes in Taranaki, New Plymouth, had subsided, and the colonists were under no personal apprehension but for fear that the weaker tribe might be driven into New Plymouth and a conflict ensue there. The Government had sent 250 men belonging to the 58th and 65th Regiments to the district, where permanent barracks are to be erected. New Zealand appears to be in a flourishing con dition The grain crops are plentiful; flour. 181 to 251. per ton ; fresh beef, 6d per lb; salt beef.

Ordinary wages. lOs to 12s ; carpen ters, 12s to 14s ; artisans generally, 12 to 14s. Those only who can labour are required. The following interesting communication from an intelligent and well informed correspondent at Adelaide, giving an interesting review of the Colony of South Australia for the year ending June 30,1856, will be perused with interest. Our correspondent's letter is dated July 14. He thus writes The commencement of the year now closed was ushered in by the arrival of our new Governor, who was received in a flattering manner—whether arising from the general thankfulness for his Excellency's safety, which, owing to his long passage from Melbourne,had been somewhat questioned —whether from the universal and sanguine opinion that he would better suit the Colony than his predecessor —or whether from the knowledge that bis arrival would lead to fresh elections, and the framing of the new constitution, I know not. In my humble opinion. he has proved himself worthy of his post. One of the first steps he took had reference to the immense immigration which had been, and was then, taking place. He saw, and truly, that the class selected by the commissioners were, as a rule, of a most unsuitable character, consisting, as they did chiefly, of a majority of Irish women, and those of a description totally unadapted for domestic uses, and only fit for hoeing fields or digging potatoes—an occupation most likely they had been trained to. He consequently remonstrated, and wrote home to put a stop to such useless expenditure of the land fund—owing to this the late arrivals have been well selected, and have, in most cases, found immediate employment. Notwithstanding this great influx, amounting, in 1855, to 11,871 souls, our population lies not increased in propor tion, owing to the large numbers who, during the last six months, have left this for Melbourne ; amongst these many have been " new chums," who, I truly believe, only availed themselves of the free passage to Adelaide for the purpose of proceeding to the adjacent colonies—this is an evil that ought to be guarded against. There is another reason that may have induced some to leave, which I shall refer to hereafter. The next event of importance - and by far the greatest I have to note—was the general election which, as you are aware, took place in September last, the excitement was unusually intense, and the interest taken great, from the fact that the successful candidate for legislative honours would have the onus of framing the new constitution, in some instances the contests were very close ; in that for West Adelaide, the most populous district, there was a good deal of ill feeling displayed, so strong, indeed, did party feeling run, that the mounted police were called out, both on the day of nomina tion and election The resnit terminated in the return of one of the proprietors of the South Australian Register; his opponent was subsequently chosen one of the nominees, and was selected speaker. The New Constitntion has not given anything like general satisfaction—a conclusion which may be gathered from the fact, that only a small portion of the community have registered. The next important event was the passing of the estimates. Before this was accomplished, a select committee was appointed to enquire into each of the public departments. The result of their labours his been a reduction in the staff of most, as well as a redaction in the salaries of the officers, clerks, &c., whose services were retained. This, it would appear, they have carried too far, more especially in the latter instance. The late sudden rise in the price of provi. sions led to a gratuity of 50 per cent being added to the salaries of all government servants—this gratuity has been reduced to 12,1 per cent, and that reduction is quite out of proportion when prices of food, at the time the advance was granted, are compared with . those now ruling. Referring again to emigration, these reductions have had more, per haps, than is generally believed, to do with the numerous departures. The public, at last, aroused themselves, or were aroused by a government memorandum, which, amongst other things, referred to the Exodus, and proposed, as a means of stopping it, that some public works, of a repro ductive nature, should be immediately commenced out of the land fund. Meetings were held, and the proposition supported. By the Council, however, the memorandum was not at all relished, it was considered unconstitu tional, and the elected members carried a resolution almost implying a vote of censure on the governor ; the upshot of it all has, been that the memorandum and proposi tions have been acted on, and large sums have been toted for making roads, constructing water works, and for other wise improving the colony, There have also been proposals for connecting the River Murray with the Gawler Town Railway, and many months will not elapse before those proposals will take some tangible shape, be carried into execution, and open up thereby the Victoria " diggings" to the mercantile and wheat growing community of Adelaide. Already the " Victorians" are astir, fearful that we shall, ere long, snap from their grasp the supplying of so vast a population. The Council, after a protracted wearisome sitting, has been prorogued, but will meet once more for the purpose or passing the estimates for 1857, aft , r which there will be fresh elections, and a new era in South Australia-- responsible gov ernmen t. Th e City and Port Railway, which was opened on the 21st of April, so far has worked success fully, and, comparatively, prosperceeely. The receipt s p er week have averaged £450, while the working expenses are much greater, and the expenses smaller, as soon the rails to connect the wharves with the main line are all laid down. It is confidently asserted that the Gawler Town Railway will be partially opened this year, and the whole line in about nine months. The completion o f thi s li ne will still further increase the traffic of th e c it y an d port, as woo l and wheat will thus be ridged to the articles for conveyance.

It appeared that, on the evening'in question, the prosecutor went into a public-house in Great Newton street, kept by a person named George Hill, whero he fell in with the prisoners. During the course of the time lie spent there, a foot-race was proposed by the prisoners, who had previously seen the prosecutor's purse, and had an opportunity of knowing that there was so much money in it: The race was agreed to, and the whole party went towards the Zoological Gardens, and in that neighbourhood They had some matches, in one of which the prosecutor was a competitor, and, as will be guessd, a loser. They all then adjourned to an other public-house, where the prosecutor paid the amount of his wager, and also paid for some drink. When coming away, the prosecutor said he did not know the neighbourhood. The party volunteered their friendly guidance. The prisoner Robinson took his arm, and began to guide him in quite a wrong direction. When they got to the corner of a road, Robinson put his hand into the prosecutor's pocket, and drew out his purse. The prosecutor made some effort to resist, but the whole party got round him and held him, while Robinson rated his pockets and made off. They then allowed the prosecutor to go, and left him. On his getting into Liverpool, he gave information to the police, and all the prisoners were soon after apprehended. Information s magistrates, and were received by th e - t he pr is oners ; were committed for trial. cc T HE NEW SAFETY INRsurin, we can bear personal witness to, secures to all classes one which will keep the always clean and good, will prevent that accumulation of oxide which spoils the finest writing, an d d e' troy“ the best pen ; by means of this inkstand, too, the amount of ink taken up by the pen c,4n be easily regulated."— Portsmouth Times and Naval Gazette. —sold by all Book sellers.

Money is not very plentiful at present. The banks are charging per cent for 30 days' drafts on London. Our late.harvest was a most abundant one, still prices, which, at the commencement of the season, touched a low figure, did, oeing to the demand for Melbourne, or the unwiling n as of farmers to quit tht ir stocks, advance, and until within the past month have been well sustained, since then they have gradually fallen, and wheat can now be bought at 7s per bushel, and flour of the first brands at £l9 103 per ton. Late adviccs from Melbourne and the other colonies tend still further to depress the market, and the general impression is that flour will touch £l6. The weather has been most favourable for the growing crops, which promises another abundant yield. I have to draw attention to a new feature in cur trade, and one which promises for some time forward to greatly increase. Owing to the restriction laid by the government of Victoria on all ships arriving with Chinese, a restriwion which limits their carrying capacity to one man for every ten tons, inclusive of crew, as well as to the impost levied on the Chinese themselves, viz., £lO per head, the latter for some time past have been landed here, and, in most instances, have contracted, either with the Melbourne steamers, or with some of the coasting vessels, for convey ance to Guichen Bsy, the nearest pert in this to the adja cent colony ; taking this route the celestials evade the head money, as they enter Victoria overland, and the act bears only ou arrivals by water. The tradesmen at Port-Adelaide do a good business with them, as most spend about £2 on boots and wearing apparel. The captain of the Anglia (a Liverpool ship), lately arrived from Hong Kong, informed me that when he left freight had been engaged for 14,000, and that 26,000 more were waiting an opportunity to leave the " land of their fathers" for the same d, sfination. The ranch talked of difficulties, of entering the mouth of the River Murray, appears to be gradually dying a " natural death." Two s! careers have entered this season ; one, the Lefehardt, built by ,••,ur townsmg,n, Mr. J. Laird, entered last Week, and, in at \iiion to a very valuable freight, took with her about. 300 Ciiiriese. • The River Murray Naviga tion company likewise purpose sending their steamer Mel bourne up next month ; elle is a good sized vessel, and has hitherto been engaged in the Port Elliott trade. Before closing, I must draw attention to the very uncer tain and irregular communication between these colonies and the mother country, It has become a crying evil, not one good passage has been made by any of the contract ships since the March one of last year, brought by the Blue Jacket. In addition to the long passages, we, untertunete South Australians, occesionally suffer by the detention of our mails in Melbourne, a detention arising from a steamer being laid up, or the mail arriving just after one has left, consequently having to wait, in the latter case, from four days to a week. We have just had an instance of the former—owing to the White Swan being laid up for repairs, the South Australian portion of the Champion of the Seas' mail was detained at the post office, Melbourne, for—will you believe it fourteen days !! Does not this bear out our argument that it is an injustice for our letters to be sent there at all, and prove the necessity, in any new contract with steamers, of eat rcing either a call here, or at King George's Sound. I hope, if not too late, you will take up our cudgels, and advocate, in your masterly style, for some consideration for the cornmer_ cial community of Adelaide, who are willing to pay for such, but do not like giving a " quid" without receiving the "quo." In conclusion, I have to notice a late discovery made by Mr. Tolmer (ex-police superintendent), ha has discovered a plant indigenous to the country, capable of being converted. into the uses of hemp or flax ; the subject has been brought before the council, with the intention of voting Mr. T. a reward. From practical men I learn that it may be made a source of great benefit to the country, and, if properly worked, may become a staple article of export. All that is wanting is perseverance and money, both of which the country largely possesses. P.S.—Owiog I to the non-arrival of the Melbourne steamer, now some days over due, and the want of another conveyance to Melbourne, I fear this will be too late for the Sardinian. We yesterday received, per Lady Ann, news from home to the 23rd March, announcing the birth of a son to Napoleon, Emperor of the French. and givirg us full accounts of the peace conferences. There is a report that there was an earthquake last night, but I have as yet heard no particulars. -- COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The Commercial Intelligencsr, by this arrival, informs us that, at Melbourne, the markets generally continued in active, but the dullness arose, solely, from the season of the year—communication between Melbourne and the interior townships being almost cut of—viz., the state of the roads, and the necessary high rates cf transport of goods. Business, generally, was healthy, and the markets firm, and although many of the quotations were nominal, no reduc tion from them would be submitted to in effecting sales. The seed time being over, the farmers in Victoria were released for a time from agricultural operations, so that many more drays were offering for loading to the diggings, and a consequent reduction in the rates of tentage have taken place. To the more distant townships, a decline of £3 to £4 per ton has been effected, and to the nearer ones proportionate alteration. As injury, however, from rain or long detention on the roads was at that season of the year highly probable, the reduction of rates did not induce the transmission of other than absolutely necessary articles. Attention had been drawn to the supply of some of the diggings by the river Murray navigation from South Australia; and we believe some fears are entertained by many, that actually the trade of the northern townships will he lost to Melbourne by this means. This, however, the Melbourne Price Current, of the 28 h July, has no hesita tion in contradicting. L may not be generally known that goods forwarded by this route have to be conveyed, in the first instance, from Port-Adelaide by sea to Port Elliot, which latter issituated at the bottom of a deep bay, exposed to the fury of the south easterly gales, which usually prevail in the Australian winter. For this port insurance is, even at exorbitant rates, difficult to effect, and, c tnsequntly, drafts against such shipments are not negotiable. From Port El:iott goods are conveyed by the Gooliva Railway to the south of the Murray, and then pLced on board the barges for their destination. It is hardly necessary to remark that, during the many loading and anloadings to which goods are subjected, injury is even more than probable, especially during the rainy season, and, as our readers are no doubt aware, Murray River navigation is, during the summer months, suspended from want of draught of water. LioNoas.—Spirits are not so firm, 11s 3d for best brands of brandies being quite the top price. Rum has been in better demand, and our rates are fully maintained. For Scotch whiskey, in case, there is an increased enquiry, and our maximum rate of 235. is readily procurable. Liquors are very dull of sale, and, in fact, are not suited for general trade. Good Ports and Sherries fully maintain (potations, while inferior sorts are somewhat neglected, and more difficult of sale. Beer, both draught and bottled, is some what easier, as our prices show--.E9 10s. per hbd. for Bass No. 9, an d 12s per dc?. for Byasq,a b Atled, ale and porter in equal proportions, are the highest prices we can quote. METALS generally remain unchanged. A sale of Muntz's patent sheathing, with nails included, has been made at Is 3d. Galvanised iron wire, for fences, is getting more into demand, and considerable sales have been made at from .£32 to £34, for Nos. 3 and 4. LEATHER : This trade has been brisk, and we give the following results of sale :--Black harness, 34s per hide; brown, 26s per hide; kip, Is 6d to is 9cl per lb. SOFT GOODS : The market is very dull, and it is difficult to give quotations. Holders are, of course, desirous ofclearing out winter goods e which cannot be done withoUt spbmitting to reductiOn in prices. Drapery goods, moderate invoices (s a y t o th e extent of £3OO to .€400) well assorted and suitable, are saleable at 20 to 25 per cent advance. Picked selections are of course worth more, while light summer descriptions are unsaleable, and those of American manufacture will not realise cost price. - Wow.: Since the sailing of the Champion of the Seas, the rplarket has remained ing.ctive, and prices are not quite so firm. The quantity offering is but small, although sufficient for the present demand. The quantity of wool shipped this season up to the 19th of July, was 11,238,854 lbs, value £726.396 sterling. Our quotations are for scoured wool, 19d to 22d per lb; hand washed and slipe do , 14d to I6d. TALLOW: We have to report a further decline in th e price of mutton tallow, which is now difficult of sale at our quotation. Beef and mixed still maintain their prices, although the demand fer either is very limited. Prices are nearly as follows :—For beef tallow, 6'35 mixed do., .638, and mutton do., .6'43 to £45 per ton. HIDES: We have nothing fresh to report in hides. Prices are unchanged. SUNDRIES: White lead continues in tolerable dema , d, but not at paying rates. Polar oil is in demand. American timber is nearly cleared from, first hands. Speculators are firm at £l6 103 to £l7 for white pine t and g boards. Imports are not likely to be very large, and an improvement, in price is anticipated when rates of car t age recede. Laths aro wanted, and worth 2Th 6d to 30s for Mobile. American chairs are cleared from first hands, and next importations of Balti more cane and wood seats, and rockers, may be expected to realise remunerating rates. Cooking stoves, of approved patterns, are saleable at 25 per cent advance on invoice. Common cutlery brings F i o per cent advance, and superior wrought 20 per cent. The demand for building ironmongery is improVing, and prices are 25 per cent over invoice rates. English shades sell at .41 to 42 10s per dozen, and long strapped at 5s to 10s. PROVISIONS, &c.: Butter, which had fallen a trifle, has rallied. For really prime doable rose Cork, is 4d is procurable, and the article is firm at that price. Candles, sperm, have lately declined but are now steady. This steadiness arises in consequence of orders from Sydney to purchase Belmont's at a limit of is 3d. Cheese of good rna4°t andip good condition, fully bears its price. A sale of prime double Gloucester has been made at Is sd. FLourt: Considerable business has been done, and a brisk demand for sp ecu lation has been commenced. The best brands of Adelaide are firmly held at 6'24, with an upward tendency. American has advanced 6'3 to £4 per ton. FREIGHTS : There are a moderate number of ships on berth, and rates remain steady, but there is not much activity ill the mart.let, as there is but little export trade, We quote wo o l to London Lid per lb.

On Saturday, a case of an unusual description was heard and determined, at the Police Court, before Messrs. J. Aikin and R. Benn, presiding magistrates. It excited much interest, and the court was crowded by persons of apparent respectability, all of whom appeared anxious to hear the details. •The summons was an ordinary one of affiliation, but, from the position and profession of the defendant, the interest taken in the proceedings was of the deepest nature. It was the case of Deborah Stanley against the Rev. Peter Brown, of Blackrod, Chorley, and was the usual summons seeking for an order for the support of a female child, born in Dublin, in December, 1852. Mr. Cobb appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Blair, barrister, instructed by Mr. Bluck, appeared for the defendant. The complainant was a very ordinary looking ar d small-sized female, o' (; a sho stated) 20 years of age ; the defendant was a gentlemanly-looking persor, of about 40 years. The complainant was accompanied by a female child about four years old, and also by her sister, a genteel-looking person, apparently about 30 years old. Mr. Cobb, in opening the facts to the court, said the case was not at all one of an ordinary description, but was of an extraordinary and peculiar character, and, therefore, he felt bound to lay the whole details before the bench. The transaction, which led to the present proceedings, took place so long ago as the month of March, 1852, and before he asked the, bench for an order to compel the defendant to pay for his child, he would lay the whole facts before the court, without the least attempt at concealment, so far as he was instructed. He would prove that, before complainant brought the present ease, she had received payment for the support of the child. The complainant was a native of Dublin, and, at the time of' the transaction, was hardly seventeen years of age. She was respectably reared, her father being a coachman to a highly respectable lady in Dublin, and held the employ ment for over, twenty-five years, which showed that he was a man of good character and respected in his posh ion. The defendant is an Trishman, and is now a clergyman of the Church of England; but lie (Mr. Cobb) would not, as he could not prove the fact, say that he was in holy orders at the time alluded to. .011 the 16th of March, 1852, the girl was in Mountjoy-square, Dublin, listening to some music amongst a crowd of persons wha were collected for the same purpose. She was standing amongst the crowd, when she was addressed by a gentleman. That gentleman, he (Mr. Cobb) would prove, was the defendant. The complainant had never before seen the gentleman, and he (Mr. Cobb) would not conceal nor disguise any fact connected with the whole affair. After some conversation, the girl was induced to go with the defendant to a certain house in Dublin. He (Mr. Cobb) admitted that it was very improper for her to do so, but she did accompany him to the house in question. The defendant at first told her it was his own house. On entering the house, she at once discovered it was not his house. fie took her up stairs to a bedroom, and there accomplished her ruin. Her dress was torn, and her bonnet and combs were broken. He made an appointment to meet her next day, in order to give her some money. After this, they had some beer, and she became insensible. When she became sensible she proceeded home, and, on searchin g her dress, she found 2s. 6d. in her p oc k e t, although she had no money before that. She went next day to keep her appointment, but the defendant did not meet her according to promise. After waiting a long time, she proceeded home, and, on her way, she passed through Mountjoy-square. She was attracted by a crowd of persons who were standing at a door, looking at some ladies and a gentleman getting into a carriage. She at once recognised the gentleman the defendant—as the gentleman whom she had met the evening before. She did not know his name at this time. She asked a person in the crowd who he was ? and she was told that he was the Rev. Mr. Brown, of No. 12, Mountjoy.square, and then she discovered who he was. In December, 1852, she was confined of a female child, but he (Mr. Cobb) should tell the court that, before this event, she had been turned out by her father, who discovered her situation, and she went to reside with her sister. She wrote several letters to the defendant to Mountjoy-square, but got no reply. At last she wrote one and placed it in the hands of her sister, and sent her to him. The sister saw the Rev. Mr. Brown, who, on reading the letter, said he would be with the writer almost immediately. The next morning he called at her lodging; she was in bed, and he went up stairs and saw her. HO asked if the infant was a boy or a girl 7 and she told him it was a girl. He expressed great regret at her position, and asked would 33. a week be sufficient to support her? She refused to give any opinion on that point, as she did not know what to say. Subsequently they went to Mr. Worrell, a most respect able attorney in * Dublin, and she received £1 from him, and it was agreed to give her Is a week. This sum was regu larly paid to 'her for some time ; and in Sept., 1853, it was proposed to her that she should go to America, she getting a sum of money for that purpose. She agreed to go, and it was arranged that she should leave Dublin for Liver pool, to take ship for America. Mr. Fitzgerald, the con ductor of Mr. Worrell's business in Dublin, was the per son who undertook to arrange this affair. He accordingly came to Liverpool, and paid her passage in a ship, and provided her with money, given by defendant. She sailed accordingly, but, before the ship was many days out at sea, she was dismasted in a storm, and narrowly escaped being wrecked. The vessel, however, got bank to Liver pool and landed her passengers. The complainant then wrote to Mr. Fitzgerald, informing him of what had happened, and he at once replied he was very sorry for it, stating that something would be done for her aeain. After this she receive I, for some time in Liverpool, lOs a week from Mr. Fitzgerald, on behalf the Rev. Mr. Brown Matters went on in this way for some time, every effort being made to send her again to America. At last she consented to go a second time along with her sister, and, curious enough, they went in the same ship she had been in before. 'This ship was actually wrecked, and 180 lives lost, but. the sisters were saved. She again got back to Liverpool, and again wrote to Mr. Fitzgerald. In the meantime, the Rev. Mr. Brown had gone to his rectory near Chorley, and she got a letter from Mr. Fitzgerald stating that she was an impostor. She then proceeded to the Rev. Mr. Brown, to his rectory, and he said more money should be sent to her. The next day she received a letter from him, stating that he was going to Dublin, and that no more money would be sent to her, as she was a swindler, and, if she went to Dublin, it would be proved against her. She then went to Dublin and saw Mr. Fitzgerald; but instead of proving her to be a swindler, she was again paid lOs a week fot some time. For the third time, 111 r. Fitzgerald proposed to her to go to A mer i ca, as a widow, and she agreed to accept 4;35 for that purpose, from the Rev. Mr. Brown. He (Mr. Cobb) would not conceal a single fact of this extraordinary oaso from the bench, and he was bound to admit that on this occasion she had hum bugged Mr. Fitzgerald, and the Rev. Mr. Brown. There , was some law in America that a widow could not go there, hut she agreed to go on getting the 435. She did go in the ship into the river, but being afraid to go, from what she had suffered before, she got over the side of the vessel, and came back to Liverpool in a tug boat. She remained here as long as the £35 lasted, and he was free to admit that she wanted more money. Mr. Blair : No doubt whatever about that point. Mr. Cobb : No doubt about it. lat once admit it. I will not conceal a single fact of the case. She then went to the Rev. Mr. Brown, and asked him for some more money. He did not deny a word of her statement ' • but he called a policeman, an d sa id h e would give her into custody. She then went away. I am bound to admit that she has had a second child in Nov. last, but Mr. Brown is not the father of that child, and it will have nothing to do in this case. There was an order made against the father of the second child, so that the present case will have no relation to that at all. He men tioned this in order to show that he did not conceal any fact connected with this extraordinary and romantic case. He would now call the witnesses to sustain it, and, if he proved these facts to the satisfaction of the court, he would call on them to make an order against the Rev. Mr. Brown for the support of his child. He then called the plaintiff, who, as remarked, is an ordinary, sallow looking girl, below the general size of' women. She was well-dressed, and was accompanied by her child, and sister, the latter a superior-looking person every way, when compared with the plaintiff. The plaintiff, on being sworn, identified the rev. defendant, and, in addition to proving the Case, as opened by her learned advocate (which she did to the very letter), she stated the following facts :—The house where she was taken by the defendant, she said was some place in or about Sackville,street, Dublin. The next evening she was attracted by a crowd in Mountjoy-square looking . at a carriage, and she then saw the defendant go Into it with four ladies, and drive off to Qt. Patrick's Ball at the Castle. She resided after that, for about three months, with her father, and then went to live with her sister in Meetlenburgh-street, Dublin. Here a number of letters that passed between Mr. Fitzgerald, the plaintiff, and defendant, were put in. In continuation, the plaintiff said when she went to Mr. Brown's rectory, she saw him and asked him how he was ? and he replied he was quite well, and asked her how she had found him out there ? She told him, and said she was going to be married to a young man. He said in that case he would give her .e 30 or a4O as a fortune. He said he was going to Dublin that night, and if she wished, she might go with him, and settle the matter there. lle told her not to come down there tiny more, to expose hitt to his parishoners. Mr, Cobb; Tou wanteti. snore money in fact ? I did, I wanted something to support the child. Mr. Blair : She got £l3O already. The witness in con tinuation said, she had been a second time to the rectory, and Mr. Brown called to see her once at her lodging, in writing, e D x u c e b p li t n 0 Athol-etreat, in this town. Mr. Blair then proceeded to l b o u l n t e n can was,o . nl y cross - examine her at considerable length, the following being the chief points of the examination :__When she saw Mr. Brown the next day, she did not speak to him. r t a h o n e w d tnoalwivni living, little i g She often went and sat on the steps of the door to see him, but did not do anything more. Mr. Blair : On your write her name. Her father supported her, and she did when her father beat her, and then she went to asion, attend on a lady, and read the Bible for her. Who ' was the lady? Mrs. M‘Ka.y. Where did she live ? At Gla oath„ nsiort.doC lN a' Can n r y e t ready h o i nu notfprintor o h 1 e t usafe), near publin. She wrote to Mr. Brown in said she would have the child in the hall, if he did not give her money. She got several persons to write to him here, for her. Got a man named M'Clusky, to write to him. What is this M'Clusky? A Custom House fac er ' How did you know this ' nobtin man ? I knew him in ' before I came here. Were you living with him here ? No, I was not. Mr. * Blair; Now answer me this —how much did you get a Week for the support of the child ? I g ot 7 s a Week up t o t h e . tim e tte child was eight months Old. AT. .. .stair : And then what did you get in a bulk i sum ? I got .e5O then. Mr. slide : Did you not threaten ito take the child in your arms, and, go 2 No ; I did not. into the church l and expose him before the congregation . Did you not threaten to go into. Wigan and expose him there ? No, sir. I got the £35 to go to America, but I did not go. Got 7s and lOs a week after that. Got my my passage paid to America besides the money. Mr. Blair: But got out of the ship? Yes; I came back in the tug boat. I wrote a letter to Mr. Brown, as if I had been in New York. I was not there. Mr. Bair here put in a receipt signed by the witness, and given to Mr. Fitzgerald for the £35, and this, it appeared, was a receipt in full of all demands. Mr. Cobb objected to the receipt on two grounds—first, it was an illegal document; and secondly, it was not properly stamped. So far, however, as the receipt of the money was concerned, he admitted that she got it. Afier a few moments consultation, Mr. Aikin said on the complainants own showing, we must dismiss this case. The girl then said she would not have signed the document, but Mr. Fitzgerald told her he wanted to show Mr. Brown that he (Fitzgerald) was an honest man, and had given the money as Mr. Brown had directed him to do. Mr. Blair said, now that the case has been disposed of, Mr. Brown admitted his great error. but he had paid deeply for it in every way. He had been persecuted in the most fright ful manner by that woman and her pack of mercenary satellites, who exposed him and drove him into every torture the mind was capable of feeling. They had imposed on and swindled him out of large sums of money ; they had persecuted him in every way, and at last the imposition became intolerable, and it was resolved to resist it. The rev. gentleman had suffered much, and he (Mr. Blair) trusted that the Press (the reporters), in the exercise of that sound discretion which they had ever shown, would not add to his grief by publishing the case, which would be so gratifying, no doubt, to the other side to see the case in the papers. (By the way, the learned and respected gentleman must know, that the reporters had no discretion at all in such a ease, their duty to the public, and the proprietors of their journals, being simply to give the case as it occurred.) Mr. Cobb said: I now give notice to the Rev. Mr. Brown that I shall appeal from the decision of this bench. The girl is either one of the most abominable perjurors on the face of the earth, or she has told the truth. If she concocted this story. she ought to be prosecuted to the utmost, for such atrocious perjury. But Ido not believe she has got up this story. I believe every word of it to be true. and the documents prove the truth of her tale from beginning to end. Why have they not nut the rev. gentleman into the box, and let him contradict her if he could ? No, they dared not, for on his oath, he would be obliged to admit every word she had spoken, and— Mr. Aiken : The case is die charged, and we cannot have any more of it. Mr. Cobb : Very well, sir, I give the Rev. Mr. Brown notice of appeal in this case.

Immediately every effort to save the man, and, after some little exertions on the part of the crew of the boat and others, h , was taken from the waters iu a state of great exhaustion. O n t h e steamer arriving at the L a nding-stage, the man who had attempted so rash an ac t was convey e d to the Rece i v i ng - house ,' Prince's-dock, but, on being where he soon at the recovered, qu es ti oned, refused to give his name or address, merely observing to the officer who ques tioned him, " - Will you take me into the force ?" From his demeanour it was supposed that he was either labouring under some temporary excitement , or that he vtas an escaped lunatic. In order to prevent him from again attempting to take his own life, a car was prepared, and he was placed in th e c h arge of a po li cema n ;but, befo re gett i ng into the ear, he, by his great dexterity, managed to get away from the officer, and running very swiftly escaped for a time, hut was soon after recaptured. It is supposed that his name is John Thompson, sad that he is a grocer's assistant, and that his relatives, are in respectable circum stances. No 'cow has at present been assigned for his having attempted such an act, beyond that he was labour, iins under excitement,
