POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—YzarzaDAy LIVERPOOL. BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD. STABBrNG —Alice Guy, the wle of a wheelwright, living in Parliament -street, was charged with having stabbed her husband, William Guy. Surgeon Pope, of the Southern Hospital, said there was a serious wound round from the nose to the ear on the cheek ; the artery was divided, and the man was in a precarious state. The woman was now discharged in consequence of ho husband tolling the police officer, in the morning, that he did not know who stabbed him, although he told the officer on Sunday night that it was his wife, and gave her into charge. The man is at present unable to leave the hospital. MORE Kerenso.—James Grabb was brought up, charged with havir g stabbed John Croft on board a ship in the Victoria dock. The Picts of this case appr and in our paper of yesterday. The evidence was the same, and the prisoner was sent for trial. STE %LING Corroer Geo-ge Phillips, a carter, and John Sheridan, a marine store dealer in Bsck Leeds-street, were brought up by detective officer Horn, the former charged vith stealing three begs of cot ton, the latter with recsivirg it, knowing it was stolen. Mr. Campbell was for the prisoner, Sheridan. The cotton belonged to 31 ssrs. Elias Geekell and Co. There was a good deal of evidence given in the case, the following being the his`o y of it :—On Friday, the carter was engaged to take cotton from one of Mr. Gaskell's warehouses in FA Mall, to another in Rigby-street, and that whilst so engaged, he left three bags at Sheridan's, subsequently took one away, as the woman who kept Mr. Gaskell's warehouse mie-ed it. The carter toad Horn, that when passing Sheridsn's store, one of the bales dropped off, and Sheridan said to him, don't mind it— leave it there and I will buy it from you. This was denied by Sheridan, but on searching his store, an end of one cf the bags was found, and thin was fully identified by the warehouseman of Mr. G as k e ll, as belongli.g to his employer. Mr. Gaekell prose i that the cotton found in Sheridan's store was his, as he knew it from peculiar marks of dye-wood Mr. Campbell cross examined the witnesses, but the only thir g he elicited was, that Sheridan was a great pest to the p lice. Mr. Campbell offered to produce witnesses who would state that Shardan was not at the store at the time when the carter took the cotton to the piece, and that he refused to purchase it, and that the cotton was taken away see'n. His Worship said he wou'd send the case for trial, and let a jury decide on it. Mr. Campbell asked, Iv, ul.l his Worship take bail for Sheridan ? when Mr Clough said ha hoped bail would be refused, as the prisoner had given the police great trouble for years, and ha I already been convicted. Bail was refused, and the prisoners were sent for trial A TRAP !—Police officer 117 charged a powerful looking fellow, named Thomas D ryle, with assaulting him. The officer said the prisoner told him he was robbed in a cellar in Grafton-street, and eeked him to go the-e to gat his clothes. The moment he entered the cellar, the prisoner and another man, who got away, fell on and kicked him Severely. He was of opinion that he was trapped into the cellar by the prisoner, wan wanted to " lick" him. The prisoner was cent to gaol for two months. BRINGING A WIFE TO REtPION ! —Thomas Douglas, an engine oiler on the London and North Western Railway, was charged by p dice °Meer 608 with having attemtred to drown himself at the Prince's Slip, at one o'clock in the morning. The officer saw him lay down very quietly in the water, and with the help of some other persons he got him out. The prisoner said, he was merely bringing his wife to reason. He fell out with her about the chiliren, and, as the would not listen to reason, he thought he would frighten her ty taking a dip in the water. He had no more notion of dr Arning himself, than he Lad of harging himself. He would not, however, make such an attempt again. He was discharged with a caution. POCKET Piaci:ice—James Brown and Mary Collins, two well-dressed persons, were charged with having picked the pockets of two fenalee, on the Landing Stage. Mr. Black defended. The evidence went to show that the woman picked the pocket of one of the complainants, whilst the man's hand was caught in the pocket of the other woman. Mr Bluek said, the prisoners wished to have the case dealt with in a summary manner, and they were sent to gaol for three months, with hard labour. PLUNDER BY A BM—A well-dressed boy, named John Mercer, who was engaged in the ( - lace of Messrs Roberts, Druid-court, Dale street, agents for a Birmingham house, was charged with having stolen 100 pan and other knives, surgeons lancets, and other things, value .£8 It appeared that the lad was the son of a builder, living near the 0:d Swan, and that he was engaged in the h.-use in question, but left on &turd y weak. On the Monday, a new office boy came, and some person from one of the railway etaions called at the office with a pareel, and said to the lad, " give me one of your samp'e knives." but be refused, - when the person said, " oh, the other lad 11361 to do it." The boy then told his employer, and this led to an inquiry, the result of which was the discovery, but the extent at present of the plunder was not known. Some fourteen boys engaged about the same buildings were produced, and to eaca of these the prisoner lied given severe' knives, pencil cases, and other things, some for money and more far sugar, and yet more for nothing. The case was fully proved. It was stated that the unfortunate lad was respectably connected, and that up to the present time bo e an excellent character. The pre-ecntor begged that the unfortunate boy might be sent to a reformatory. His Worship ordered the boy to be (for the present) whipped and kept in jail for three days. jAIIitTING W,TII TIIS BAR MAIDS.--John Egan, a person of superior appearance, leaning on a crutch, and described as a gentleman residing in Fairclough-lan e charged a female, named Jane E lie, with having stolen his g ld watch and chain, value over nO. The complainant said about half-past ten on Sa•urday night, he met the prisoner and another " young lady," (a voice quite easy—they are called the "bar maids " ) in Scotland road, and gave them some drink in one or two public houses He then got into a car with them and drove to Hood-street ' • he than went home and— Mr. Black (f or prisoner) Well air, go on, what did you then ? Witness: why then, I missed my watch and chain. Mr. Block : Almost natural that what are you sir? W.tne4s: At present, I am nothing at all, sir. Mr. Block: You formerly kept a public house, I believe ? Witness : Yes, I did. Mr. Black : And you know the prisonf-r ? I have seen her once or twice before Mr Bluck :In fact, she is an acquaintance of yours ? Witness Ns, not an acquaint ance. Mr. Black : Were you sober, sir? Witness : I was not quite drunk. Me Bluck : Were yo I not much more drunk than sober ? Witness : I was tolerably well intoxicated. Mr. Muck : Were you at your friend " Nobby Clark's" that eight ? Witness : Yes, I drove there in the car. Mr. Block: And the prisoner and the other "young barmaid" along with you ? Witness : Yes, they were in the car. Mr. Black : Did you n go there to make a wager about a boxing match between Ned Thompson and some other gentleman of the " fancy ?" Witness : I went there, at all events. Mr. Bluck :On your oath, sir, were you not so drunk that you did not know where you wera g-.ing or what you were doing? Witness : I was a little iutostcated, bat I was able to go home and eat my supper—(laughter) —and atter that to go to the Central Police-c Met) to report the case. Mr. Bluck said he would not offer a single word on behalf of the prisoner, as there was no case whatever made out ag %last her. His Nor hip, being of the same opinion, discharged her.

A correspondent of one of the Madras journals suggests to Lord Harris the advisability of raising regiments composed entirely of native Christians, and doing so forthwith. He thinks that with the aid of the missionaries some 25,000 able-bodied men might be procured r thatis if government is satisfied with able-bodied men, and does not look for a grenadier stature in its recruits. The native Christians are not at present very willing to enlist in the native infantry regireents a for, as might be expected from the barbarous ignorance of the }Endow and Mahomedans, the latter affect to look down upon the Christian sepoys as men who have abandoned their caste. If all that we have heard and read of Jesuits and'of other missionaries and their enterprises in Southern India is not fallacious, a far larger number of Christian recruits than 25,000 might be procured in the Madras presidency. Why au attempt is not made to embody them into separate regiments, we are at a loss to conjecture.. It has hitherto been the policy of the radian government to dis courage the enlistment of native Christians. No native Christian, it is unnecessary to say, would have been received into any of the Bengal regiments, and if a Sepoy of any of those corps became a Christian, he would have been turned oat. This was one of the concessions made to those bodies of men who have proved so gloriously "staunch"—but it was a concession which was necessary, when we remember that from the very earliest times the mode of recruiting adopted in the Bengal army was -rotten to the:core. There was, however, no such necessity for discouraging the enlistment of Christians in .either the Bombay or Madras armies, and measures might have been taken to induce greater numbers-of them to join the corps of those presidencies than are now to be fund in them. The great desideratum, however, is to have regiments composed so'ely of native Christians. Such a step will have the effect of elevating the native Christians in their own esteem, and showing them that government does not r •glrd them as outcasts as the Mahomedans and Hindoos do. 0 eof the results of such a course would be, that the regiments would never want reeruits. We need not say that we are adverse to any tampering with the religi ons of the races of this country ; but, on the other hand, we do s'r, if the government of India thinks it politic to have a good:) , number of regiments of native Christian soldiers, that if it cow raises a few corps of such men, and treats there with ladulgence and favour, it will be litTle less then astonishing Is ,w thick nativa Christian appli cants for enrolment will be found to present themselves in the course of a very few years —Phcenix, Sept. 5, kt LEWIS Az rOMPANY'S, Rane;agh•street.

This court was opened yesterday morning at nine o'clock. The list contained one case i'Jr special argument, five demurrers, three remands, and ninety eight issues, which had to be tried, with one writ of enquiry before the Registrar. COOPER v ROGERS —ln this case James R. Cooper, ironmonger, of Lordon-road, was the p!aintiff, and sought to recover of the defendant, Alexander Rogers, boarding house keeper, cf Wolstenhol. - ne-sqnare, the sum of .eB, being the balance of an account of £l6, the price of a range. The defendant had admitted the debt and had promised payment, but he claimed £lO 101 fcr commission for taking customers to the plaintiff's eh p It was denied that any inch a claim was due, and the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. GALLACIIRR V. MDONNELL —ln this case John Gal lecher, a joiner, was the plaintiff; and the defendant was Michael M'Donnell, a passenger broker. The amount claimed was al 1 ls., as a balance of account due to him for work done on board the ship Istria. Verdict for the plaintiff—damages .Ell 84. 6d. Tha above cages stood over from the last court. GRAILVit V. CAPStICK.—This was a claim for damages done to a horse through negligence. Mr. Brett appeared for tte plaintiff, and Mr. Aspinall for the defendant. In this case the plaintiff, George Graham, a car proprietor, was the plaintiff, end William Cip,tick, a farrier, was the defendant. In the month of May last, the plaintiff had three hones and three cars, which he plied daily for hire in the streets of Liverpool. On the evening of the sth of M y last, a grey horse was taken to the defendant's house to be shod in its two hind feet. The foreman, after ex amining the shoes, told the man to pat them on, and while he was putting on the off hind shoe, the horse " yielded" to the nails when the carman said to him. " Are you not afraid of these nails ?" The shoer said " No," but drew the nails and put them in again. The horse was taken home, and on the following day fe:l dead lame of the off-hind foot. The horse was afterwards taken to Mr. Chessenhall'a forge, and examined, when it was found that the off hand foot had been "pr;ckecl." The horse continued lame for eigieteen weeks, during which time it had never earned a single shilling, and it was for such loss of services that the present claim was male. Several witnesses were called to prove the above facts ; after which, Mr. Aspinal addressed the court for the defendant, arguing that the horse in question was properly shoed at his chen:'s estab'ishment, and hut if it had been injured, itmu3t have been dome at some other place, and by some other parties. It was stated that the horse was lame from sand crack Mr. Aspinal and Mr. Brett having spoken on the whole case, the assessor summed up, and the jary returned a verdict for the defendant. BOGGIR v ADAMSON, on Demurrer, -7n this case the declaration containad a count in debt upon a judgment and common counts. The defendant pleaded Nal Tiel Record," and no other plea. The plaintiff replied " Tiel Record," and demurred to the defendant's plea, on the ground that the plea professed to answer the whole declaration. whereas on its face it answered part only. Mr. R G. Williams, for the plaintiff, in support of the demurrer, prayed for judgment. The learned Assessor, after examining the pleadings, observed to Mr. Williams—You have cases to show that if a plea p - ofesses to answer the whole declara tion, and answers only part, the plaintiff muse demur, and cannot sign judgment for the part unanswered Mr. Williams : That is so. Wood v. Farr, 5 Bing. N. C. 247, is an authority, that if the plaintiff in such a case sign judgment for the part unanswered, the judgment will be set aside. The same case (Mr. Williams for the plaintiff) came on afterwa-ds on the issue in fact The plaintiff had judgment, on production of the record of the judgment declared upon.

The broad brimmed hats are a piece of good sense in the midst of a mass of folly. Punch, and other satirists, may quiz the hat as a device for looking young ; but the ridicule touches only the elderly wearers, red leaves the hat unimpeached. Some quiz zical specimens, plumed en] be-ribboned, and so turned ue and twisted abeut as to serve no more useful pur pose than the prevailing bonnet, may ba seen here and there; but the simple original h4t, with a brim which shades the eyes, and a crown which prot.c's the head, is wet t'ey of all enpiobatien, while it is exceediegly becoming to young. wearers. As to older pteple—it they sensibly decline wearing the bonnet which exposes their giey hair to the very crow,,, and feel that the hat is tno j unty—why do they not recur to 4 the indigenous, serviceable, bee 'mini, unobjectionable English straw bonnet of all times? Not the fancy chip. or de open shell work of straw, filled up with silk, but the veritable straw fabric (Tuscan or D in stable at pleasure), which will outlast all changes of faslaian in a climate like ours. Then) is no occ Minn , to wear it in coil scuttle fashion, like holy District Visitors, so that a pious woman is always to be 'wired for at the end of a long bonnet; nor do be milliners insist on alt ladies goinf , bareheaded. 'rt., straw bonnet admits of all reasonable modifications; and that of five years ago enclosing the face modestly, and covering the head com fortably, gratified good tact© then, white it satisfies sound reason now. Instead of it, we see old ladies—in ens or two extremes—either their lank Jews aro exposed by the (bilk strings of a slouching hat, or the wrinkled faces and grey hair are encompassed with blond and artificial flowers, as the trimming of the little exn - escence called a bonnet in our day. Gee would think that no woman could fail to perceive that wreaths and garlands are a youthful adornment, and that no one shoald wear artifi cial flowers who could net fittingly dress her hair with natural ones; yet we sec dowasecs with roses and foliage clustering round their cheeks at every turns BOYS' cLoTtur4o m &DE WITH GREAT TASTE AT LEWIS aid COMPANY'S, Ran9l4ll-street, THE FLOODS AND THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. ' The announcement on Saturday of the suspension of traffic over a portion of the main Ii a of the Eastern Counties railway, upon the whole of the Hertford and Ware, and North Woolwich branches, created a considerable degree of excitement. It was at first supposed that an immense amount of damage had been done to the railway and it was rumoured that several of the bridges had fallen. The injury done, however, has been comparatively trifling. On Thursday night it appears that one of the cu everts near the junction of the main line and the Her e rd and Ware br_nch gave way, in conssqueece of an immense body of water coming don from the direction of the river Let, and which the water courses were not wide enough to admit of being carried away. About half a miie further on, another culvert, with br ckwork supporting the timber for the road, gave way from the same cause. This second culvert has Lem completely repaired, and indeed so slight hae been the damage that the engines of the company crossed the spot with safety, although :t was not con sidered prudent to run the passenger trains over it. A temporary stage has also been constructed over the culvert netts the Roydon statien, over which the passengers had to walk. By thn indefatigable exertions of a body of up cords of 100 men, who having been working day and night dace the occurrence, a temporary bridge, with one line of rails, was completed on Friday night, and the whole of the traffic was resumed without interruption upon the main line. Tee Hertford branch, for alms t the entire distance 13syoud the junction with the main line, was un 'er water on Friday, and the traffic was suspended. This was also the cats on the North Woolwich branch, 'there the water at one tme was from five to six feet In depth. The stoppage of the traffic was not, however, owing to any fall of the bridges, or destruction of the permanent way, but from the immense floods which covered the railway. Passengers we: Wormed on Friday, in 'eking tick is for places beyond Roydon, that they would have to change carriages at that spot, and walk a short distance, and were told that the; might proceed by the Great Northern line without inteiruption, but in every case the piss ngers I referred to go by the Eastern Counties rather than patronise the other line, weich appears to be an uneopular with the travelling public as it is with Its own, preference shfeeholders. Mr. I ove, the a hferman of the company, was engage] during the whole of Saturday in the ne i ghb,urlsocd of Roselon superintending the exertions made by the engineers and work Den in rerairi g the damage wits'ese had been done. For the last forty -; ears such a scene has not been witnessed as that which the whole of the Lea Marshes present. don Saturday. A heavy and continuous call of rain on Thursday had swollen the River Lea and its tributaries to an unusual extent, and it is supposed the embankments of the river have s.iven way in one or more places, as it is not easy to account on any other g ound for the rapidity and volume of the flood which has ceverel the immense area now under water. The water came down the valley in a torrent, covering the country for miles with water, to the depth, in many places, of flee or six feet. The destruction of property is very considerable. Hay stacks, or rather the remains of them, were floating about and men in boats w. re pick'ng up the floating ruins ehich everywhere abounded. Toe station on the Huth Woolwich line, at Stretford, was inundated to the depth of several feet, and the officials had only just time to make off with the ticket apparatus bsfore the whole place was fisocied. Tee water was g adnally subiding throughout a greater part of Saturday. At seven o'clock that night it hal fallen three inches at Stratford, and shored there be no further fad or rain it sell pass off in the course of a day or two. The whole of the. Lea Marshes were on Fri :ay morning dotted with boats, an I, as far P$ the eye could reach, might be seen small white sate, whichs with the tops of trees and a few of the tallest hedges, formed the only objects visible over tee flooded country. In the direction of Meedon and Crouch very lags tracts of land were flooded, and numbers of sheep were drew. ed' in the fells. Mr. Kemp, an extensive farmer, has lest LO sheep, besides some cattle ; and on the farm of Me H rtya neiehbottring gentleman, wbo'e fields may be said to have been carried away, as the upper aril over many acres has been swept off by the for e of the wate a ; while the farm buildings and bares were inundated to the depth of several feet. All the farms•aad v Rages in a dtrection towar :a the coast for milt s. I ear traces of the havoc commit:ed, many hou.es having been inundated and much property injured. At Burnham, it is saidoss.td catast - ophe oc:urred. A wedding in the town that day had been attended by a party of young farmers from the neighbouring dbtrict, and tan) of them ee e on their way home at night, iu a hor sand gig, when they we , e met by the fib ,Cl, and one of them, Mr. las. Rham, jumping out to secure the horse, was swept - away by the torrent and drowned. His body was-found next day some distanie from the spot At Col chester Ca the storm of Thursday night was severely felt, and a high wall adjoining the military read was carried dagn by the wind and the flood. L kte on Satar lay night the who'e of the repairs had bean completed oa the railway, and the traffic oa thamain line is now uninterrupted. Some omnibtues sent down by the General Omnibus Cosnpmy to convey the passengers over the break do the journey, as well as some waggons of th. railway company forwarded for the conveyance of the luggage, have returned to town. Between liertf4rd and Welwyn the rising of the wa`or has been very gree. The lower parts of the facmer town have been flooded. At a neighbouring villags, Mardm, a blacksmith, named Edward Williams. who left hom- on Tivirsday evening, was overvoms by the flood, and was cs Med away by a straaraleading from Seacombe pond. His body, much mutilated, was found cn the faowing morning. At Chelmsford, the Chemsr overfloia ed its banks, end .a young farmer is reportsd: to have lost his life.

Belfast correspondent of Saunders's News Letter writes as follows. The letter is dated Thursday night : There Is nolager any doubt entertained that John Junes Moore, the plocipal in the largo rabberie,, of tea and the frani Oa the Customs in Belfast, has succeeded in effectiog his escape to Amerta, by the steamer As'a. Ile managed 'matters mo,t adroitly. Oa the T hursday, while the Custorn.aiLers were sa.reLing his bonded stores and loosing the chests, of which s sue 780 turned out to ba containing instead of tea, turf, bricks, and straw, he was seen on 'Change, chatting unconcernedly, and throwing suspicion oL its guard. Ire did not leave Belfast by the Liverpool beat that evening, nor did he leave Belfast by the early express trait for; Dublin, bat he took a car, drove to Lisburn, where he entered one of the up-trains to Dublin, and it was from your city that ha crosied the Channel. A gentleman from Stockport met him oa board, after the steamer left Kinlstown and there con d be no doubt about the idcati-. ficatien. Moore was jest in time in Liy,rpeol to proeee Iby the Asia; and Bete:, the private de:eetivo officer, wto was formerly conneetcd with the Liverpool police establishment, &Iry a person every way ans. werivg his Ce:cription goirt; 0.1 board the Asia and paying for a second-class passage with 201 . no`e. At this time a t.legraplfc despatch reapeetins M.:ore was in the hands of the Liverpool police, but it now appears it had not been anted upon. A deteave ()Tarr was despatche I to Liverpool from Belfast cn Friday night by the Semaphore steamer, but he arrived jtast in time to be too. late, as the Semaphore and Asia passed each o her at the Sloyne. Immediately on his landing on the q9ays, hearing that the de inquent had succeed ed in getting off, he te!egraphed to Belfast, and a steamer, with an Admiralty flag and officer on be:2rd, armed with a warrant for Moore's arrest, left Belfast, in the expeo:aton of intercepting :ha Asia in the North Channs',,on her outward passage. They were disappoin ted ; the Asia had taken the southern route, The streamer which put out from Queenstown to interee, t her and arrest the delinquent was not more successful, for, the precaution of providing an Admiralty fig Lot having , been taken, the commander of Vie- Asia woull not stop f or the signal, and More is now laughing at his dopes in some corner of the Great Republic, and ripecafating a, to the best way of employ ing his I /gotten gain.

I may add that large quanti ies of Moors's teas are unpaid for, to the I (anion and Liv.rpool houses ; that he received a good deal of cash in town from parties to whom he .sold chests at a lono l p i e, representing them as "duty paid;" and that, so plausible was his manner of proceeding, he succeeded in taking in some of the most eminent houses in town. The extent of the fraud on the Customs is under 5,0101., and oa private parties it will rea.h 10,0001. At LEWIS & OIPANY'S, it,melaglt-street, BOYS are CLOTHED from the Agea of Six to Timmy Years.

MILIT CRY SQUABBLES AC FRANKFORT.—ACJO UlltS from Frankfort, of the 20 h ins`., state that on the previous day a serious cerEct took place between soldiers of the federf.l garrison and men of Austrian and Bavarian regiments. The affray commenced at the Pfaelazeihof ball-rooms and was coltinutd in the public state'. Swords and bayone's were brought freely into use, and a great number of the soldiers were wounded on both sides. The commandant of the garrison has adopted the most rigorous wemures to prevent a recurrence of such scenes. CLOTIIING MADE WI ►H GREAT TASTE AT LEWIS ad COMPANY'S, Ranelagh-street. WELLINGTON AS A STATESMAN. A lecture on Wellington was recently delivered in the Chiches Nechan'es' Institutioa by Archdeacon Garbett, who, after highly eulogising the military career of that distingui hed man, commenced i n the following manner upon his conduct as a statesman. As a statesman, he said, hi career was not marked by that sagacity and foresight which so singularly distinguished him in his martial cap acity —a fact strikingly evidenced in many instances. In troth, he did not comprehend the exigencies of his country, or the spirit of the age. In the absence of great principles for his guidance, he frequently estimated the Importance of questions according to the balance of forces arrayed on ether side. This was remarkably exemplified in his treatment of Catholic Emancipation. His conduct belies the suspicion that he was capable of appreciating the paramount impor tance of religious freedom, and though on this question he was at length compelled to yield, yet it was not to the force of conviction, but to a„prehensions of rebellion in a portion of the emeire. In reference to the great question of commercial freedom, ha was its determined opponent while there existed a chance of maintaining monopoly, and only gave way to the pressure of impen ling famine. On the not less important subject of Parliamentary It form his political reputation was utterly wrecked; to employ the expressive langukte of the Archdeacon, "he was compelled to bow beneath the righteous tempest which swept over the land, and the great man was made small." In his administration of the affairs of the army as Com mander-ic—ohief, many abuses urgently demanding redress were persisted through the potency of long usage, and reforms called for by the progressive improvements of the age were stifled by the all powerful influences of interest and prejudice. In his private life, and when spending his time as a country gentleman, he delighted in the spor.s of the field, and not nnfreqaently indulged in a heavy laugh at the misadventures of his bfother sportsmen, as wall as his own. Ia his habis he was plain and unostentatious ; he disliked parade, and was an enemy to every species of affection. His equanimity was remarkable; it is related that when at supper with his officers, after the victory at Waterloo, he indulged in no boastful exaltations, beyond simply exclaiming, " Thank God, I have mat him l" in allu sion to his great rival, Napoleon. In his old age he became somewhat irascible; his great spirit seeming to chafe at the frail and decaying tabernacle in which it was en.ihrinea. Taking him altogether, the great Dulie was a man of whom Englishmen have just cause to be proud, and whose memory is deserving of lasting remembrance, CONFESSION OF MURDER, At the Themes Police-,fee, London, Etrena alibilda ?, a youn woman about 29 yesrs of age, and lately an Inmate of an asylum for felon females, in Mount-Terrace, Whitechapal, who has been en ens toly a week, was brought up- on remand before, Mr. Selfe, charged on her own confession with the wilful murder of &newly-born , child, at Brighton. The prisoner had been an inmate of a probationary asylum at Dover, and was brought to the Asylum' in Mount-terrace a fortnight before her apprehension. A few drys afterwerde she appeared to be greed./ agitated and made a statement to Mr. Russell , an officer of the Asylum, that she was In the service of a gen tl eman as housemaid at Brighton about seven months agp, and that her fellow-servant, the coek, gave birth to a child at one o'clock in the mornine e and she assiteel the mother-In strangling it, and th n ran down to the tea% and threw the' body into the sea. The cook destroyed all traces of what hadhappened, and rhea absconded. The prisoner was about to fol'oe her, but luer - master compelled her to stop one month longer. The prisoner added that she hat not been happy since, and the eyes of the. murdered child were always upon her. Inspectcr Griffin, of the K d.vision, said he - had received a letter from the chief of po'ke at Briehton,in answer to a communication, and it wa s in effect that enquiries had been made, and thet no chi'd hid ever been found on the beach or in the sea at Brighten, Mr. Selfe seed the police at Brighton on ht to time° farther inqulries whether any ser vant, a coot, had left a gentleman's family suddenly a'iout seven months ago. The prisoner had made a statement which could be either disproved or coefinned. The mere circumstance of no body having been feind'on the sea-shore did not prove that the prisoner's statement was true or fal ee. It was probable the increased pub icity that wonll be given to the case might be the means of obta'riag more infor.na,:ioe, and he remanded the prisoner for another week- PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES AGAINST CHOLERA. In conseqaense of the alarmleg appearance of the dreadful scourges,. cholera; at Stratford, the most rigorous sanitary regulat'ons and pre caut'ons are being adopted throughout the whole of the metrop Altai] parishes: At Paddington, on Friday;• at a ge-eral meeting of the vestry, Mr. Cbuechwarden Evans in the chair, a report was brought up from a sanitary and public health committee, embodying certain , important sanitary regulations and propositims recommended by Dr. Sanderson, the medical officer of health for the parish, in order to gn .rd against " the probasds approach of the cholera." Amongst other propositions, it was urged as expedient to order a house-to-house inspectlon, and a general cleaning w.th lime-washing of those dwel bags requiring such a- proceeding; then, that a circular should be issued through-sat the parish, directMe the attention of househol ders to the necessity of atteading to the sanitary condition of their premises. These, with the appointment of a sub-committee, consisting of De. Gray, Mr. Roche, and Mr. Lou lee, to assist the medical officers in their onerous duties,• together with (le hsr recommendations respecting drainage and the cleansing forthwith of the canal basin, were unanimously adopted by the vestry. Attention was particularly drawn to the unwholesome tra les carried on on the beaks of the camas, by dust-cootraators, manure-dealer., an I the like, and Dr. Sander son's attention was particularly drawn to these matters, the medical officer at the same time being requested to keep a strict supervision over such parts of the parish where the want of a proper surveillance might occasion the engendering of all those evils likely•to give rise to a fearful. outbreak of cholera. Mr. Crouch likewise urged that the working classes should be supplied for domestic purposes with pure water-from the company's pipes, instead of, as at present, by butts, In which the water wse kept several days before it was used. In Mary:obone, under Dr. Thomson, a vigiliant sanitary inspection is bring made, and the some in St. Pancras, under Dr. Hillier, while in all the other metrosolitan.parishes the lesal authorities are-on qt tit's, ready to meet the drea fed evil on its first appearance.

CORNISEI TrTINING.—The strange-locking whom you, an ea tern visitor, may observe, in swallow. tailed coat, resty silk hat, black trousers and stockings, and low-quartered shoe, at work in his croft of potatoes, or cultivating a pretty Ittxuriant two acre field of wheat, in the half reclaimed 11,ts about Tregoening Hill or St. Ay s' Beacon, seems a very heteredox specimen o f t h e British agricultur st ; but, if you knew his history, you woeld probably finl that he has, or has had sh ares i n a drift.lnat, a seine, and a neighbouring mine or two, and his soul is at this moment fir away from his dirty ac res , wandering in Eldorado. He has seen, what we ourselves have seen, a common minor of one year driving his carriage and pair of greys the te-xt, and the moral of the third year, in which the minor in question has passed the Insolvent Court, is lost on him. It is strange that a population unusually orderly awl sober, and reasonably honest, should be also one of habitual zamb'ers, active or speculative. We suppose that this kind of poison, like others, loses its ekletetious effect on the eons Rations of those who are thoroughly ieured to it. It must be aided, that, wi!li the spirit of self-reliance which this kind of life engenders, it creates also a very considerable amount of self-opinion, The thorough Cornishman's respect for his own shrewdness and that of his clan is unbounded, or only equalled by his profound c)ntempt for " foreigners" from the east; a class create I for his benefit--given over to him for a prey. And this f. eling increases ludicrously in intensity as we advance further we , t, until we reach the Land's End parish of St. Just, in which the de , pised " East" conarrehen?s all the rest of England. It must be owned that Cornubians have daily and a b un d ant •proof of the gullibility 4)f the men cf the east, and the Londoners in particular ; the opening of a new undertaking by what they term a " beery set of adventurers" fresh from the metropolis, is a great opportunity fur local jubilation.—Quarterly Review, new number.
